Battle For Death Island: Revenge

When I was younger, I was a huge fan of the show Battle For Dream Island. But that all changed years ago.

It all started on June 7th of 2014. It had been two and a half years since the first season of BFDI had ended, and I thought I would take a trip down memory lane and view some of the old episodes from when the show was new.

I decided to watch the show from the beginning all the way up to the fifth episode. As soon as I hit play and watched the first few seconds, I automatically knew that something was up, though I couldn't pinpoint it. One of the first things that came to my attention was the intro. When the text "Battle For Dream Island" appeared on screen, something seemed to appear for a split second, then quickly disappear. One part of me wanted to just brush it off and keep going, but the other was curious to look at it again. I chose to do the latter. I was too curious not to keep going. I paused the video, then I searched back and forth through the frames until I found the frame at which the screen flashed. What I saw shocked me.

The word 'Dream' had changed to 'DEATH' in all caps and in a dark red font, and the background had gone from a bright, sunny landscape to a much darker setting with blood splattered on the grass. At first, I thought it was just a little extra thing added by the producers for Halloween or something, but I then remembered that the release date of the episode was May 1st. I also remembered that it was never there before. If it was, I would have seen it when I was younger. I was confused as hell. Out of curiosity, I continued to watch.

I noticed various things throughout the episode that seemed unsettling and out of place. One was a bloody knife next to the character Ice Cube. Another was what appeared to be a puddle of blood on the ground. The third was the most unsettling. One of the characters, Leafy, was on the ground dead with obvious knife wounds. All three of these things seemed to be related. I had many questions, and, of course, I wanted answers. It seemed like a stretch, but what if Ice Cube had gotten the "revenge" she wanted? I was frightened, but continued on because I was on the edge of my seat, wondering what was going to happen. This was a completely new experience for me.

As I watched, I saw more and more dead characters and blood and I grew more and more fearful. Near the end, Ice Cube was the only one left. She looked towards the screen and it cut to static. I was scared beyond belief at this point. I didn't know what was going on. "Please," I thought to myself. "Please let this all be a dream."

It was when I pinched myself that I realized this was no dream. The static started to fade after a while and I could make out a picture of what looked like Ice Cube surrounded by the dead object characters. Each one was covered in disgusting dried blood which had poured out from the knife wounds. It all looked so… real. I began to feel a little sick.

At the bottom of the screen were blood-written letters that spelled out the word 'REVENGE'. However, what stood out to me the most was Ice Cube herself. She was covered in blood. Two large, black circles replaced her eyes, and she had a huge toothless smile that reached both edges of her face. In her hand--er, foot, was her knife, caked in fresh blood. I was on the verge of crying. I tried to close the tab, but it didn't work. I even tried powering off the computer, but to no avail.

Then, Ice Cube cried out "I GOT MY REVENGE!" in a screechy, demonic tone then she began frantically hacking at the screen with her blood stained knife. I could make out small cracks in my monitor, accompanied by faint crackling sounds. Ice Cube was trying to break through my monitor and escape through the screen. I burst out screaming and crying. I slammed my fist down onto my laptop, grabbed a hammer and smashed it until it was nothing but a pile of broken plastic smithereens and circuitry. I sat there, still traumatized by what I had seen.

I never watched another episode of BFDI or any other object show and I never will. Now, whenever I see anything related to BFDI, all I think of, is "revenge".
