♫Burn, baby, burn!. Burn, baby, burn!♫
The gang had now arrived at the celebration. Cody was frantically searching around for danger as he stayed away from all the grills, sharp fences, and the cords around him. By now the oil spilled earlier had soaked into the soil and around the field already.
“Man, I can’t believe we’re finally leaving this hellhold.” Duncan says putting an arm around Gwen as they walked.
“Y-Yeah.” Gwen responded as that dark aura feeling spread across her entire body yet again. The wind sent a chill through her spine as she knew death was in the air.
A group of senior graduates ran through the field now as they were playing around the grills now. One of the graduates had there gown still on as it swung around onto the stove of one of the grill bars. The tip of it caught on fire as he took it off and stomped onto it to keep it from burning the entire gown.
“Nice going dude.” His friend told him sarcastically as he backed up into the grill causing one of the burners to become crooked and tilting onto its side. The gauge on the propane tank was shown becoming looser and looser as now more of the flammable gas began to leak out in a streak.
Outside the man in the truck had been drinking still. He wobbled around woozily as he fell onto the car keys breaking them as they were now jammed into the ignition making the truck permanently on. The man turned around to vomit as the 6 pack lying on the dashboard fell and landed on the gear shift pushing it to reverse. The can on the seta fell now as it landed on the accelerator pedal causing the truck to now start to go backwards down the hill.
“Cody…” Sierra called as the short brunette boy just looked around frantically for any sign of danger. Sierra grabbed the bottom of her hair and waved it in his face as he shook out of it. He spit out a purple lock of hair now as he pulled it from his mouth.
“Sierra! You know I hate it when you do that.” Cody argues as he pulls another strand out.
“Well you were scaring me. You seem so tense right now my own muscles hurt.” Sierra says rubbing her shoulder.
“Well I have every right to be. You heard Gwen, I’m next, and then you. You should be just as worried as I am because once I’m dead it’s going to come right after you.” Cody stammered a little as cold beads of sweat dripped form his forehead.
“Cody…” Sierra sighed. “You told me you would protect me, you promised. But before you can do that I have to protect you. So that’s what I’m going to do. It doesn’t matter what happens, I’ll be there.” She wrapped her arms around him lifting him up a little.
“Sierra don’t…” Cody couldn’t finish before her lips met his. It was a tight embracing kiss, one that sent a tsunami of warm fire throughout his body as he went numb from the feeling.
When it ended he was placed back on his feet reeling to collect his remaining thoughts. It seems like he just collected a whole new outlook on her. The moment might have continued if Gwen didn’t arrive.
“GUYS!” Gwen yelled to them on a ear ringer level.
Cody snapped out of his love induced trance as he stared at Gwen. “What is it?” He said gritting his teeth for cutting his first wanted kiss short.
Gwen detected the bitterness in his voice but shook it off. “Heather didn’t die.”
“What do you mean? We saw her die…I mean we saw the house explode entirely.’ Sierra said astonished.
“Yeah well apparently she lived, her and Alejandro both for some reason.” Gwen told them as now they looked worried.
“Well then…who’s really next?” Cody asked as suddenly the truck rolling down the hill had met the bottom. The back of the truck rammed into one of the tall lighting poles as it was knocked off its post. Sparks flew everywhere as they all looked up at it as it starting plummeting towards Cody.
“Codykins!!” Sierra screamed as she grabbed him furiously by his shirt pushing him out the way as the pole landed on her chest crushing it. Gwen stumbled backwards into the grill as the stove top burner fell onto the grass. The oil that was in the soil caused a fire to start spreading around the entire area in a circle formation.
Cody landed on his back as he looked up to see Sierra with her chest looking as if it imploded with the pole laying firmly onto her. Cody quickly crawled up to her as Sierra had blood pouring out her mouth and a few bones protruding from her chest.
“Sierra! Please don’t do this to me.” Cody pleaded as Sierra just spurted blood from her mouth unable to talk as her heart was already crushed. Cody tried vainly to move the enormous pole off her but to no avail. “COME ON MOVE!!!” The scrawny brunette screamed but it fell on deaf ears as Sierras eyes closed. Cody looked down at her lifeless face as his tears started to stain it. He spotted to necklace she wore on Total Drama and picked it off her neck as it was bloodstained.
Gwen rushed to find Duncan now as she knew he was next. She ran past people that were frantically trying to leave now as she tripped onto the rack of the balloon air tanks causing them to jut out of the rack hold and kicking the propane tank as it was now leaning on one of the tanks. She pushed herself off the rack as she went to find Duncan.
Duncan was watching the fire happen as he was going to head for the exit but not without Gwen. “GWEN!” He shouted frantically looking for her as the fire reached many of the grills causing explosions now with the propane tanks scattered about.
A large red Chevy soon pulled up outside of the celebration. A familiar Latino male soon got out of it with a revolver in his hand. He spun the inside of it before clicking it back inside and headed towards the burning celebration.
Soon Gwen ran into the delinquent as he fell back from the impact.
“Duncan!” Gwen yelled as she quickly held onto him. “We have to get you out of here now.” She had a manic state in her voice as she grabbed his sleeve trying to drag him to the exit.
“Woah wait what about the beauty and the geek?” Duncan asked as he was still able to make a joke out of such a desperate predicament.
“…Sierra’s…already dead and Cody will be fine trust me but we need to go immediately!” Gwen trudged on but was stopped dead in her tracks as a fire was heard being shot and a bullet spewed past her head and through her hair. A few locks of midnight blue hair fell, blending into the grass as Alejandro was seen past all the smoke of the blazing inferno around them.
“Ah, buenas noches Gwen.” Alejandro said tapping his face with the gun.
“Alejandro!? What are you doing?” Gwen asked now backing up from him.
“Oh you should know senorita.” Alejandro had a fake evil smile spread across his face as he pulled the gun from his cheek and held it down.
“Dude, what the hell are you doing!?” Duncan asked now wide-eyed as if he had no idea of the conflict taking place. “Even I’ve never shot at anyone before.”
Alejandro just shot a glare that would make Satan piss himself at Duncan as he held the gun up at them both. “You….knew Heather would die.” He shot once again as a bullet just sped passed them and scratched one of the propane tanks so narrowly missing it. “But you didn’t even try to save her!”
“Al…she isn’t…” Before Gwen could finish Al took another shot as a bullet whizzed past them.
“DON’T CALL ME THAT!” He screamed
“Alejandro she isn’t dead! She survived the explosion.” She spoke as her mascara began to run from her tears, creating a pitch dark streak down her cheeks.
“You never even liked her. That didn’t give you a right to just let her die, you could’ve done something, her, our baby died because of you!” Al had lost all sense of sanity as now he pointed the gun back at them. “Oh but I saw what happened, and you can’t die yet can you?”
The fire now had burned everything within the span of the field into pure ash. The smoke was making it difficult to breathe right about now as Gwen and Duncan began to cough upon the smoke entering their lungs.
“Your not next…so in return, I’ll take away someone you love too.” He switched the gun to Duncan as he walked closer towards them. He pulled the trigger but Duncan had ducked underneath as he ran towards Al, tackling him to the ground. The gun flew out his hand and rolled across the ground as it shot another bullet and it hit the gauge of the propane tank knocking it off.
Duncan and Alejandro pummeled each other on the grass rolling around like a looney tune fight. The gas spewing out the top of the tank had set on fire causing a huge explosion. One of the pressurized air tanks held on top of the ranks was hit by the explosion as the back of the tank came off causing it to fly forward. The tank flew straight for Duncan who was pulled down by Al as they didn’t even notice it. Alejandro now pinned Duncan to the ground pulling his fist back and blasting it into his face as blood streamed out his lip.
Gwen was the only one that actually saw the tank narrowly miss Duncan as she looked over at the rack. The fire had caused many of the air tanks to start blasting off the rack. One of them had flown straight into the air as another headed right for Gwen.
“LOOK OUT!” Cody yells pushing her down as the tank fell harmlessly to the ground. “Are you alright?” He asked her with Sierra’s bloody necklace on.
“Uh, y-yeah. I think it just skipped me.” Gwen told him laying on the ground.
Alejandro was still busy beating the snot out of the Duncan as he soon got off him and headed for the gun. “Ok amigo, it’s time to end this.” He pulled the gun up at the injured Duncan as he pulled the trigger but nothing happened. “What the?” He looked down at it but it didn’t budge. “Tienes que estar bromeando!” Suddenly the tank that was thrown into the air had began to fall back down. Al looked up as the tank landed right on the frontal lobe of his head, knocking it clean off from the jaw up. Cody, Gwen, and Duncan watched in horror as the latin mongrel fell onto his side. The fire around the area had seemed to start subsiding on its own now as they started heading off the grounds.
