The Twelve Flavors of Burpules!

'''The competitors compete in the second challenge of the season. One contestant butts heads with another. Another begins to fall in love with a girl on his team. Meanwhile, one team wins the challenge, as the other has to send home their strongest, yet tempermental, player .'''



Plot
"Last time on Total Drama Legends, sixteen bumbling buffoons entered the competition and fought hard, or at least hard for them, in the first challenge! The outcome was egg-cellent as The Noble Knights won the first challenge and full access to the hot tub! This time around, the two teams will face a mythical challenge, the likes of which we've never seen! Who will step forward to face the challenge, and who will coward behind the others? Find out on Total Drama Legends!"

It was mid-morning and all of the contestants were awake.

"So, your telling me that you've never used make up? Like ever?" Lorelei asked Deb.

"No... I don't see the point. I only go to school and work and then I come home and do my homework until I pass out." Deb said, shrugging.

"But what about your boyfriend? Doesn't he like to see you... not ugly?" Holly asked.

"I don't have one.

"No!" Lorelei cried.

Holly gasped.

"What?" Deb asked, confused.

'''Lorelei Confessional: Deb is in dire need of my help! She's a total trainwreck!'''

The three girls were sitting in the corner of the grand foyer.

On the other side of the room was Ryan, Gil, and Trey.

"-And then she was like, get out of the bathroom I was here first. And then I was like- what?" Trey said, recounting earlier events.

"Yeah, dude, she's in the bathroom twenty-four-seven. If she couldn't look at herself in the mirror, I think she'd die or something." Gil said.

Trey laughed.

Ryan tried his hardest to suppress his laugh.

A small smirk appeared on his face, which he clearly wiped off.

"What about you?" Trey asked.

Ryan looked up, "What about me?"

"Why are you so mysterious, guy?" Gil asked.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Ryan said, shrugging.

"You're distant. Even when you're with other people." Trey pointed out.

Ryan shrugged, "I guess that's just who I am."

A ways over, Brooke was talking to Augustus.

"And then my little Diddy was telling me how he made me a finger painting and I was so touched that I pulled him into a giant bear-" Brooke said.

"Please do not continue." Augustus said, covering his ears, "It is worse then having to listen to father about yak fur clothing."

"Oh, relax! You'll love the way this story ends! Anyway-" Brooke began.

Augustus growled.

'''Augustus Confessional: Brooke is too nice. And talks too much. I believe I can manipulate her well. But she is so annoying- I hereby declare her my enemy.'''

Below the castle, The Titans were roughing it.

"This is stupid! I don't even have a bed!" Janice cried, "Ugh!"

"Sucks for you? No one cares." David said, laying on the rack.

"Are you kidding? You know that's been used, right?" Sapphire asked.

"What?" David asked, sitting up, "I thought it was a bed!"

"Chris specifically said it was a rack that we were supposed to use as a table." Jerome said.

"Thank you, Jerome." Sapphire said, winking at him.

Jerome blushed.

'''Jerome Confessional: Did you see that? She winked at me! Oh, she's amazingly perfect in every way!'''

'''Sapphire Confessional: I'm using him to get farther in the game. But, I don't mind being showered with compliments. And, well he is kinda cute.'''

Kathleen was sitting in the corner cell, laying down calmly.

"H-how are you?" Finnegan asked, shyly.

"I'm fine..." Kathleen whispered.

"That's great." Finnegan said, kindly.

Kathleen smiled a bit.

"I'm gonna go now.." Finnegan said, walking over to Jerome and Sapphire.

"H-hey." Finnegan said.

"Hey, Finnegan." Sapphire said kindly.

"How are ya?" Jerome asked.

"As good as I'll ever get..." Finnegan sighed.

"Why are you always so..." Jerome began.

"Sad?" Finnegan asked.

"It's because of his troubled past." Anza said, calmly.

"Troubled past? What happened?" Sapphire asked.

"Who cares?" David asked.

"Shut up." Janice called.

"W-well..." Finnegan began. "Sixteen years ago, m-my mom was a pretty famous actress."

"Who's your mom?" Sapphire asked.

"Christine McAlester." Finnegan whimpered.

"I love her!" Janice cried from the other room.

"Well, a-anyway. She had met this other famous actor and, um. They had an affair that my dad didn't k-know about. So when he found out that I w-wasn't his... He couldn't stand to look at me. And for all of my life, they've been arguing and my dad doesn't even l-love me..." Finnegan said, his voice cracking, "And I signed up so I didn't have to listen to the two of them screaming anymore, b-but-"

"Hey, relax, dude." Jerome said, patting him on the back.

"I-I'm sorry..." He whimpered.

Sapphire pulled him into a hug.

'''Finnegan Confessional: *still tearing up* Was any of t-that true? *looks up, smirking* As if. I've been planning that backstory since the beginning of last season. All those years on those soap operas really helped, I guess. They're all putty in my hands!'''

"Contestants! Please meet me in the backyard!" Chris announced over the intercom.

Finnegan wiped the tears away and took a deep breath.

"Let's go." Sapphire said.

All eight of them went up the staircase.

All sixteen contestants met up in the backyard, standing outside the colosseum.

"Head inside! I need to explain to you this week's challenge!" Chris announced.

The contestants did as they were told.

They entered the colosseum and saw Chris standing there in a toga.

"What is with the bad choice of fashion?" Augustus asked.

"What are you talking about? Chris looks amazing!" David said.

"Thank you, David!" Chris said, beaming, "This week, your challenge is based off of the popular Greek myth: Hercules!"

"It's Heracles. Hercules is the Roman counterpart to the popular Greek myth." Holly said simply.

Her team stared at her.

"I mean.. Yay! Greece! Toats fetch!" She said, rubbing her arm.

Finnegan raised an eyebrow.

'''Finnegan Confessional: A secret genius? Interesting...'''

"Anyways! Heracles faced twelve dangerous trials in his lifetime! These twelve dangerous trials were incredibly difficult, even for a half-god like himself!" Chris explained.

"Stop with the story time. Hurry up!" Janice called.

"Shut up!" Chris bellowed, "Like I was saying! Heracles faced twelve dangerous challenges and we've decided to follow in his footsteps! We've chosen six of the twelve trials for you guys to complete! The team that completes the most challenges, the fastest wins!"

"What are the challenges?" Deb asked.

"Trial one is to capture the Cerynian Hind, aka the giant deer! This deer is fast. Majorly fast- faster then a cheetah!" Chris explained.

The contestants were shocked.

"Two will be on the loose on the ten acres of land. Your challenge is use your wit, strength, or speed to capture this deer. Whichever team catches the deer and comes to me first wins the first task!" Chris announced.

Chef brought in a two cages.

Inside each cage was a large deer.

Chef opened the cages and the deers came bolting out, racing at top speeds.

"Whoa!" Trey called.

"Ready? Set? Go!" Chris announced.

The two teams raced after their deer, which were decorated with colored capes representing their teams.

The Titans were running as fast as they could, yet they still couldn't come close to their deer.

"This is impossible!" David cried, "We're never going to capture that stupid deer!"

"Maybe we don't have to chase after it." Sapphire said.

"Huh?" Janice asked.

"Maybe we can catch it while it's sleeping..." Kathleen whispered.

"Huh?" Jerome asked.

"Maybe we can catch it while it's sleeping." Kathleen said, a bit louder.

"That's a great idea!" Jerome cheered.

"N-nice going, Kathleen." Finnegan said.

'''Finnegan Confessional: Why am I being so nice to her? I want her to feel like we have some sort of connection so when it comes time for me to reveal myself, I can use her to keep me in the game. Duh.'''

"Thanks..." Kathleen said, suppressing a smile.

"Now we just need to get it to pass out." Jerome said.

"Play the waiting game?" Sapphire asked.

"No! I have a better idea!" Anza said, racing off.

Most of her team followed her.

Janice was following Anza, until she tripped over a rock.

"Agh! Someone help me!" She cried.

"W-what happened?" Kathleen whispered.

"I think I sprained my ankle! I need someone to carry me!" Janice cried.

"I will." Sapphire began.

"Not you!" Janice shouted, "Jerome! Would you carry me?"

"Um... sure?" Jerome said, picking her up and carrying her like a bride.

"My hero!" Janice cooed.

Sapphire and Anza rose their eyebrows.

'''Anza Confessional: I can blatantly see that Janice loves the attention of boys just as obvious as I can see Finnegan's true colors. Will I say anything? Probably not.'''

'''Sapphire Confessional: Using Jerome? How low can Janice be? ...Now I know I was doing the same thing, but seriously.'''

The Knights were running after their deer.

"Why is it so fast?!" Trey asked, getting aggravated.

"Keep it together, dude! We've almost got it!" Gil reassured.

Holly ran beside Deb.

"How do you proposal we catch it?" Holly asked.

"You mean propose?" Deb asked.

"Yeah! That's the one! Thanks Debbie!" Holly clapped.

"Why not catch it with a net or something?" Ryan asked, void of emotion or feeling.

"Good idea!" Lorelei cheered.

"Come on, you guys! I believe in all of you!" Brooke cheered.

Augustus growled.

"We just need to find a net and catch the thing when it's not looking." Ryan said.

"Lorelei and I found a lake over there! Maybe it'll stop for a drink of water!" Holly clapped.

"Good thinking." Ryan said.

"I'll go get the net." Trey offered.

"I'll help you." Deb said.

"Me too!" Brooke cheered.

"Lorelei, go with them. They need to know where the lake is." Gil said, "Please?"

"Okay!" Lorelei said, smiling brightly.

"Thanks, hot stuff." Gil said, winking.

Lorelei grabbed Brooke, Trey, and Deb and pushed them towards the castle.

Holly gagged.

"What?" Gil asked, smiling.

"Let's go." Holly said, walking off.

Ryan and Augustus followed.

"What?" Gil asked, laughing a bit.

"There it is." Anza whispered.

"It looks tired." David replied.

"It is tired." Anza responded, "I can feel it's energy from here."

"How are we supposed to go get it?" Janice asked.

"All we need to do is to put this juice inside of that lake. It'll drink from the lake, then pass out." Anza replied.

"...What is that stuff?" Kathleen whimpered.

"Oh... nothing." Anza said, looking around nervously as she smiled.

Kathleen and Sapphire exchanged nervous glances.

"This had better work." Janice sighed.

"Don't worry. It will." Anza said, "Now someone put it in."

"I thought you already did." Finnegan questioned.

"Nope. David, put it in." Anza said, giving the vile to David.

"Alright! Focus on me, camera!" David said, creeping towards the lake.

The deer raised it's head and then began to eat grass.

David casually walked over to the water and dumped the vile inside.

He then casually walked back.

The deer, confused as to what was going on, trotted over to the lake and began to drink.

The Tremendous Titans cheered and high-fived all around.

The deer then dropped.

"Woo-hoo!" Janice cheered.

Jerome, David, and Damion grabbed the deer and ran off.

The girls and Finnegan followed.

A few minutes later, The Knights' deer arrived, taking a drink of water.

The team followed them, a net in their hands.

"How are we supposed to capture it?" Lorelei asked.

"We just grab it." Trey said.

The Deer fell over.

"What-" Augustus began.

"Don't question it, Auggie! Just grab it!" Brooke cheered.

'''Augustus Confessional: *outraged* Auggie? BLECH!'''

'''Brooke Confessional: Out of everyone here, I think Auggie is my closest friend! He's so patient and kind!'''

Augustus, Trey, Gil, and Ryan ran after the deer and grabbed it.

They then ran back.

The girls ran away, leading the others.

The two teams raced to meet up with Chris.

Eventually, The Knights reached Chris first.

"And The Knights get the first point over The Titans!" Chris announced.

"I thought both sides got points if we brought it!" Janice cried.

"Nope! Just one team!" Chris laughed, "Sorry!"

Janice growled.

"Challenge two!" Chris announced. "Capture Erymanthian Boar! It's big! It's ferocious! It's-"

Chef wheeled in two cages with large cloaks on them.

He pulled them off, revealing two large pigs.

"Ew! That thing is so gross!" Janice cried.

"I think he's cute! Diddy would love him!" Brooke cheered.

Chef opened the cages.

The pigs came running out, directly for Trey and Damion.

"Hold out your arms!" David yelled at Damion.

Damion did as instructed and then noticed a crucial part to his plan.

He still had his joy buzzer on.

Damion grinned wildly and grabbed the boar, shocking it with his joy buzzer.

The pig spazzed out.

"Caught it!" Damion said.

"So did I." Trey said, picking up the pig he had wrestled.

"Well that was anti-climactic. Onto the next challenge!" Chris said.

"This is the sixth and final challenge!" Chris said.

"Wow. Everything went by so fast." Sapphire said.

"It feels like we were only on challenge two a few seconds ago." Anza said.

"This is hardest trial Heracles, and you guys, had to face. You have to make your way up to that tree in the center of the ten acres. It's fruit are golden apples that bring you joy, AKA one step closer to a million bucks. Whichever team grabs an apple from the tree and brings it back to me first wins the challenge. The Knights have three points and The Titans have two." Chris explained.

"So, no matter what, it's a tie-breaker situation." Gil said calmly.

"Not exactly, Gil. If The Titans can manage this, I'll give them two points!" Chris announced.

"Two points for getting a stupid apple off of a tree?" David asked.

"That is ludicrous." Augustus agreed.

"Well, you also have to battle a giant animatronic dragon!" Chris announced.

At that point, a dragon came out from behind the castle.

It reared it's ugly head and let out a trail of fire from it's mouth.

"Hop to it!" Chris announced, "If you want, there's armor in these crates here."

He pointed to the two crates at his side.

The contestants made a mad dash for the crates.

The two teams stood a ways away from the tree and the dragon.

"How are we supposed to get the apple?" Trey asked.

"I don't know..." Anza began, "I'm all out of plans."

"Anyone got any ideas?" Gil asked.

Holly raised her hand, "It's a total long shot. But it might work!"

"Give it to us, babe." Gil said.

"Don't call me that- and everyone circle up." Holly commanded.

Her team was confused.

"Like, Huddle, guys!" Holly said.

"Oh!" Ryan said, as he and his team huddled around Holly.

On the others side the team was thinking up a plan.

"I-I have an idea, if you all want to hear it." Finnegan said.

"Go on!" Sapphire said.

"Alright. S-so, first off-" Finnegan began.

Gil and Ryan walked carefully towards the sleeping dragon.

"Your girlfriend's plan better work." Ryan said.

"One, she's not my girlfriend. She totally hates me; which I plan on changing really soon. Two, relax, dude. Everything is going smooth." Gil whispered.

"For now." Ryan sighed.

He tip-toed over to the dragon and slapped it in the face.

The dragon opened it's eyes and growled.

"Now's when we run, right?" Ryan asked.

"Yup!" Gil cried, pulling Ryan along with him.

Ryan was nearly scorched by the dragon's fiery breath.

"Okay! Now just race for that tree!" Gil instructed.

The two raced for the tree, the dragon following them.

This allowed Deb and Lorelei to sneak in and try to reach the fruit on the tallest branches of the tree.

Ryan dove under the tree.

Gil's eyes widened and he umped over.

Gil Confessional: I panicked!

The dragon bit him.

"Agh! My buns!" Gil cried, tumbling over the tree, "Hurry up, guys!"

The dragon titled it's head and then turned.

Lorelei and Deb were caught red-handed.

The dragon went bounding towards them.

The two of them screamed and ran, dropping their fruit.

The dragon continued to chase them.

From the shadows, Finnegan and Kathleen got ready to execute their plan.

Finnegan got on all fours and Kathleen jumped onto his back.

She reached up and grabbed the apple.

She then jumped off silently.

"AH!" Lorelei cried, "Someone Help!"

"This is insane!" Deb cried, "We can seriously die doing this!"

"Nice job, Kathleen!" Finnegan whispered, "L-let's get going!"

Kathleen and Finnegan ran for Chris.

"Wait! Dragon! Dragon!" Ryan called, "Look, the other team already has the apples!"

The dragon turned and stopped chasing the girls, just as the duo made it to Chris.

"We present to you the golden apple." Kathleen said, a bit louder then the other times she had spoken.

"Thanks to Finnegan and Kathleen, The Tremendous Titans won the challenge!"

"Woo-hoo!"

"Yes!"

"Alright!"

"You guys not only get to stay in the castle, but you also get another treat!" Chris announced.

"What is it?" Janice asked, ecstatic.

"Well, the second floor of the castle has been locked up until this point! You guys are given the privilege of being the first to explore it!"

The Titans cheered again.

The Knights sighed.

"Your plan failed! This is all your fault!" Gil said to Holly.

Her team instantly turned on her.

"Excuse me? You did it wrong! You were supposed to go under the tree so he could get his head stuck! This is all YOUR fault!" Holly cried.

The team instantly turned on him.

Gil Confessional: Aw man.

"We... lost?" Trey asked. "WE LOST?!"

"We already covered this." Augustus said.

Trey roared and ran to the dragon.

He began to punch it violently, "This is ALL YOUR GUYS' FAULT! HOW ARE YOU GUYS SO STUPID- RAAAWRGHGGH!"

His team gathered together, looking at Trey in fear.

He created a giant hole in the dragon.

The Knights looked at each other in fear.

Ryan Confessional: If that's what Trey is like when we lose one challenge, I hate to see what'll happen if we ever lose two...

Later that night, the contestants sat in the arena.

"Alright guys, this is the first elimination ceremony of the night! If you were to ever lose again, you'll meet here! I'll be giving you guys copies of the story the challenge you just failed is based on! Today? Hercules! If you don't receive a copy, you're out!"

"Heracles." Holly corrected.

"Whatever." Chris said.

He snapped his fingers.

Two interns entered with a platter of scrolls.

"The first copy goes to Deb!" Chris announced.

Deb smiled and went to grab her scroll.

"Dedication goes a long way." She smirked.

"Ryan." Chris announced.

A small smirk appeared on Ryan's otherwise emotionless face.

"Lorelei."

"Oh, goodie!" Lorelei cheered.

She and Holly held hands and then let go once Lorelei went to grab hers.

"Brooke and Augustus."

"Isn't this great, Auggie?! We get to stay together for another week!" Brooke cheered.

"Splendid." Augustus said, rolling his eyes.

They both went up to grab their copies of Hercules.

"There are three of you. There are only two copies left." Chris explained, "Holly, it was your plan that cost your team the win. Gil, it was your incompetence that cost your team the win. Trey, you scared your team to the max with your freak out."

The final three looked at each other.

"Holly, you are safe." Chris announced.

Holly sighed in relief and grabbed her copy.

"This is the final copy of Hercules. Whoever doesn't get it will have to walk out of the castle and take a ride on the Carriage of Losers. And you can't come back. Like ever." Chris said, "The final copy goes to..."

Gil looked around nervously, looking at everyone else for the tale-tale signs that he was safe.

He saw none.

Trey's head was hung.

'''Trey Confessional: I knew what was coming. It was inevitable. I always mess stuff up...'''

"Gil." Chris said.

Gil sighed in relief.

"It's been fun, guys." Trey sighed.

Two interns led Trey out of the backyard and to the carriage of losers.

He entered and it was off.

The driver telling the horses to move faster.

"You're all safe. For now." Chris said.

The Knights walked off.

"That's it for the first elimination episode of the season! Will Holly and Gil ever get along? Will Augustus ever like Brooke? Will David ever get over himself? Will Jerome stop gushing over Sapphire? Find out on the next episode of Total Drama Legends!" Chris said, signing off.
