Chao in Crisis City

[milkamel]

AU idea: PV never regains memories, ancients don't reunite and the beasts are freed. Soul jam's powers are weak so SMilk aims to forcefully make PV remember and takes him to the spire (Little does SM know he'll get attached to this little compassionate Healer)

More details about this AU (currently called Slumbering Truth AU): Basically it starts off with Smilk being terrible and basically doing what he was doing in the 8th episode, trying to make PV remember and playing with his mind for his entertainment. He knows who PV used to be but PV knows nothing about him or his own past. He's confused as to why would this powerful cookie need him but decides to submit in exchange for the village being safe.

At first Healer is uncomfortable and nervous but gradually despite Smilk's intimidating look decides to play along his games and get to know him better. Smilk is surprised by the other's behavior (and unexpected wits and trickery) and what started with the urge to break PV down slowly became an urge to keep the other close since the other's intentions to know him were genuine and comforting and SMilk hated the thought of losing that (not that he'd admit that. he needs that Healer to see him suffer, right?).

Now he doesn't want Healer to remember, he doesn't snap at that cookie as much, he wants him to stay in this blissful lie because if PV knew the truth then he'd definitely leave Smilk and lock him again. If Healer knew the truth he'd turn against him instantly, Smilk was sure. For the first time in a long time, Smilk felt like he found someone to who he was connected and he wasn't going to let anything ruin that.

(It's a wip so I might change some stuff along the way)

Snapdragon Arrives in the Laboratorium

Snapdragon washed up on a distant shore, barely clinging to life. It coughed up water, its breathing ragged and unsteady.

It felt so sad. So alone.

"Hic.. Waaaa…."

But as it sat up and looked around, something felt different. This place was unfamiliar. It was not in Crispia anymore…

It didn’t know where it was, nor did anything look familiar. Dark clouds hung heavily overhead, casting shadows across a red sky. Cliffs surrounded the coast. Snapdragon didn’t like the feel of this place.

It slowly rose onto its four legs, wobbly from exhaustion and the impact of landing in the sea. But it forced itself to remain steady.

"Mwa… ba…"

It didn’t know what this place was, but the ominous atmosphere made it hope, maybe it could hide away here.

It began to walk, unsteady and dizzy from the waves and strain. Then it saw something, above the cliff.

Strange, glowing red energy lines coursed down the cliffside, flowing from somewhere higher up. It didn’t know what they were, but it could sense something strange about them, so much life powder, too much to ignore.

Curiosity overtook hesitation, it followed the red lines.

High up on the cliff wall, it spotted a large pipe, leaking water and surrounded by tree branches from the cliff. Snapdragon spread its wings and launched upward, flying fast into the pipe’s opening and landing with a splash.

The sight of the dark, damp tunnel made it feel uneasy, but it convinced itself, this was a place to hide.

Its clawed feet tapped softly against the shallow water, creating faint ripples as it walked deeper in.

And then, it emerged out of the pipe’s exit… And froze.

It had never seen anything like this before, metal walls, strange lights, mechanical sounds echoing from far down the corridor.

This place was nothing like Hollyberry Kingdom, nothing like Dragon’s Valley, and certainly not like Dragon City.

It began to sprint down the hall, claws clicking against the floor, following the strange vibrations that filled the air.

The hallway opened into a lab, a vast space of odd machinery, blinking panels, and metallic surfaces. The air buzzed with something… unnatural.

Snapdragon didn’t recognize any of it. It looked ancient, and yet... somehow newly built.

Before it could continue forward, footsteps. It wasn’t alone.

It Panics, it didn’t want to be seen, it didn’t want to hurt anyone again.

"Kyah!"

It quickly scrambled beneath the metal floor behind a staircase, hiding in the shadows.

Two Cookies entered the lab, both in white coats. One had a neatly tied green ponytail and glasses, the other had dull blue, wavy hair

"Initiating Life Energy Siphoning sequence" said the Cookie with the dull blue hair. “Awaiting your signal,” they added.

"Transmitting signal. Three… two… one."

SCREECH! The machine came to life.

"Machine activated!"

Snapdragon didn’t know what they were doing. It wanted to get closer to get a close look, but fear kept it still.

“Commence the Soul Protocol,” ordered the ponytail Cookie.

“Commencing Soul Protocol,” the other responded, pulling down the lever which the machine does something to a batch of dough.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

"The dough is not reacting. Next batch."

The dull-haired Cookie moved to dispose of it.

While the two were distracted, Snapdragon seized the opportunity. It slipped silently across the floor, passing them without a sound.

“Did you feel something?” the dull-haired Cookie asked, pausing.

“Focus” the other muttered.

Snapdragon let out a quiet sigh of relief, but it didn’t stop moving. It had to get away. Further down the corridor, it spotted another set of metal stairs. It started to climb. But again, footsteps.

It dove beneath the stairs to hide, barely making a sound. Peeking out from the shadows, it saw two more Cookies approaching from the upper level.

One of them looked... familiar, too familiar. The one it had attacked during its escape from Hollyberry Kingdom. Pomegranate Cookie.

And beside her: Dark Enchantress Cookie. Which Snapdragon didn't recognize but have heard of her

"Can you keep up with everything in your current state?" Dark Enchantress Cookie asked, her voice low and controlled.

Pomegranate Cookie, standing before her with a hand over her waist, gave a composed nod. "Master, don’t worry about it. It’s just a cut. I was caught off-guard… by a dragonette."

From beneath the stairs, Snapdragon Cookie’s eyes widened.

That feeling... It was happening again. That same burning sensation creeping up from deep within. Its body trembled as it clung tightly to the metal framework, claws scratching against the floor.

"Say, Pomegranate Cookie… did you get a good look at the dragon hatchling?" Dark Enchantress Cookie’s tone sharpened slightly. "Anything similar to the other dragons?"

Pomegranate narrowed her eyes, recalling the memory.

"That hatchling... it was pink, and had flowers for a tail. Definitely not like the others. It came from the Hollyberry Kingdom. I didn’t see it leave directly, but it seemed like it was running from there."

Dark Enchantress’s expression darkened. She knew the Hollyberry Kingdom, knew that Hollyberry Cookie was one of the Ancient Heroes, and held one of the Soul Jams.

from under the stairs, Snapdragon clung to the stairs harder, shaking. It was fighting it, that instinct, that terrible force inside, it didn’t want to lose control, not again, not here.

"What was happening in Hollyberry Kingdom when it ran from there?" Dark Enchantress asked, folding her arms.

Pomegranate replied, "Last i checked after I was attacked… everything was in ruins, a sea of fire. Cookies injured and crumbled. Even the Ancient Hero couldn’t protect her own kingdom." She paused. "There was the red dragon fleeing the scene. It was likely them who caused this, but… the color of the flames was different. I think they belonged to the dragonette."

Dark Enchantress fell silent for a moment, gaze heavy with thought. "A sea of fire… a dragon hatchling…"

She murmured, more to herself than to Pomegranate. "The legend… it’s coming true after all."

Pomegranate looked up, confused. "What legend?"

Snapdragon couldn't hear what was said next.It was barely holding on, the voices around it had become muffled, its claws shook. the burning feeling

It felt just like that first time… When it had tried to speak Dragontongue like Pitaya Dragon Cookie. The same feeling that surged every time since the kingdom’s fall.

It repeated the words in its head: "I am not a monster. I am not a monster. I am not-"

But it was too late.

Its instincts erupted. Eyes snapping open, Eyes changed, pupils dilated, and with a low, thunderous growl, Snapdragon lost control.

. . . . . .

Darkness.

When it opened its eyes again, everything was hazy. Its breathing was slow, disoriented. Its vision returned in pieces.

It tried to stand, but something tugged at its legs.

It looked down.

Shackles. heavy restraints locked around its ankles, chains made of glowing purple magic, bound tightly to the back wall.

The floor was scorched. The walls bore the mark of flame. Whatever happened while it lost control… it had clearly been here for a while.

It staggered to its feet, slowly approaching the nearby door. But the chains stopped it from going much further.

It noticed something on its clawsl. There were traces of jam on them. Snapdragon’s chest sank, realizes that it had lost control. Again. It didn’t remember what it had done, only that it had tried so hard to resist.

It was no longer hiding, it was trapped.

So that anyone knows with how Snapdragon was trapped from this drawing: https://www.tumblr.com/linedol2/778220536070291456/trapped

for anyone who wonders what Snapdragon's eyes look like whenever it loses control (if there's anyone who haven't heard about the AU before)

(with anyone wondering with how i can write that much within some days is because I have tons of free-time, while there might be slim/small chances that i might rewrite some parts if necessary (if something new is added))

i'm just putting in the art tags because since the last part do shows art

Total Drama Psycho Noah AU, after the 'London Adventure' and the truth being revealed, Chris then decides to make this a reward challenge... The reward is that EVERYONE gets to be in First Class, with NOAH... Chris and Noah are curious to see, who will be brave enough to actually enter First Class, after learning about Noah's insanity... How would Courtney + Gwen + Duncan reacts to seeing the video of Noah's insane side showing? 😈 Would Alejandro and Noah still be friends? 😈

Listen, as much as this idea is so fucking funny to me, I really don't think it'd work from a storytelling perspective.

Though (not to push any agendas here, but-) if Chris were to hypothetically have the remaining contestants go against Noah in an enclosed space, in a sort of predator-vs-prey scenario, it'd probably play out something like The Beast chapter in Slay The Princess... without the "eating them alive" aspect, of course.

(Heavy Content Warning for that link, by the way. There's a lot of violence/gore/body horror, among other stuff, by virtue of it being a horror game.)

Maybe he'd lock everyone in the First Class cabin and turn off all of the room's electronics, so the only source of light in the cabin would be the wavering moonlight from whatever tiny windows are dotted around. Noah would use the cover of darkness to his advantage and toy with his competitors in a similar vein to how the Ripper had in their challenge that day, darting silently through the shadows to 'capture' his castmates, picking them off one by one.

It'd be a fun game of cat-and-mouse for Noah. For the others? It'd be a living nightmare. They wouldn't have the luxury of knowing that Noah wouldn't really hurt them, and the bloodlust they'd seen on that screen would be terrifying to watch but downright petrifying to experience first hand. They would be genuinely fearing for their lives, in a way that Chris hadn't been able to prompt since the early days of Island, and the host would love it.

Not that he would do that. And not that Noah would actually attack anyone either. (Without reason to, of course.)

But you are right about one thing; if this AU were to become a fully-fledged story, the London challenge would have to be a reward, just to keep Noah in the competition. Because he literally snapped Zeke's arms like chopsticks- his team would vote him out in a heartbeat just by virtue of him being so dangerous.

Which means the whole of Team Chris (plus Duncan) would be sharing a poorly-lit, structurally unsound cabin with someone they're terrified of.

...Owen notwithstanding, since Owen's a sweetheart and he knows Noah.

But the others would be immediately on guard around him. Noah, knowing there's no reason to keep up his ruse of sarcastic apathy, would probably relish in their fear- he enjoys tormenting people, after all, especially when that torment is purely psychological. So he'd carry on playing the 'unhinged, bloodthirsty sociopath' just to watch the others squirm.

He'd probably make a huge show of still having the Ripper's knife, tucked safely in the sleeve of his white undershirt, and comment that he and Duncan could be 'knife buddies' or something. If only to see how the punk's pierced face would drain of all colour at the prospect of Noah having a sharp object. (Duncan would absently rub at the puncture scars on his hand, to Noah's delight.)

But it'd eventually get boring, I imagine, so Noah would do something to reassure his teammates that he's not some ethics-devoid monster hellbent on destruction. Because having your teammates be in a state of constant paranoia around you would get annoying after a while, and it'd impact their performance in the competition (which Noah isn't really all that concerned with, but Owen is, so Noah doesn't want to do anything to jeopardise their chances of winning challenges).

So he'd drop the exaggeration of his more violent traits, and intentionally show off the unharmful aspects of himself- namely by koala-clinging to Owen and acting 'normally' like they'd done before the London challenge, and/or by approaching Tyler to ask how he was feeling after being stretched on the rack and sheepishly apologise for leaving him behind (showing empathy and remorse, to humanise himself n front of his teammates).

He's insane, not heartless.

As for Alejandro...? I have no idea. Would he even want to risk approaching Noah to find out if their shared comradery was all a ruse? Would whatever tentative trust he had in Noah be completely shattered by the reveal? Or would he be so engulfed by his need to win the competition that he only views this new development as a boon, since now Noah can be more of a physical asset for their team?

It'd probably be a mix of all of these. Alejandro would be left off-footed by the reveal of p!Noah's 'true self' (however much of his 'true self' he's willing to show to others) but I imagine he'd be quick to ally himself with the guy who can break bones like they're chalk and deceive a whole cast of people for two and a half seasons, regardless of any personal misgivings.

I just rewatched Tower of Sweet Chaos story and something kinda surprised me:

So Dark Enchantress Cookie existed before White Lily Cookie... Maybe everyone knew it before and I'm just too stupid or I don't know a part of the lore (it may be in OvenBreak I don't know) but I have so many questions...

Dark Enchantress Cookie had an old body/vessel before... Who was it? Were they important? She must have tried to conquer the world before... what was her personality like? She's just an old spirit who gained the memories and the body of another Cookie, right? How much was she different from before? Is Dark Enchantress Cookie like just the embodiment/representation of Pure Evil? Then we can say that Dark Enchantress Cookie isn't really White Lily Cookie, DE has her own morals and personality and she existed before WL. Did the Ancients heard of her before the Night of the Witches? Like in history or something like that?

Or maybe I just misunderstood what she said...
