Replies! Something new I'll be doing. I won't reply to everything, so don't feel offended if you aren't replied to.

Ddynamo- generally correct. There is someone else who by the time the story's over, will be more worthy of the displaced title on Team Fire.

Li'lNuggets- Yeah, that was the vibe I was going for with Team Friendship. Despite Norm's confessional last chapter, Jonathan's really the one by himself. We'll just have to see how he does.

Chandagrigus- Yeah, I'm hoping it's greater than Karon Island, and longer too. The word goal is 100k for this one.

Guest 1138- Well, you're getting an early elimination. I don't think you'll like it, but it's early. Like, early. By early I mean now.

With that taken care of, let's get moving!


Episode 2: Coming from the Sea Down Under, Part 2

Chris paced inside the submarine. "Let's go over what we've seen," he said.

"We know that the teams are divided based on current and past performances." Various clip are shown of Juan and Jonathan being placed on teams, Sybil watching Team Friendship, and Norm and Luna complaining. "Two people could be eliminated today, or one. Whatever I'm feeling."

The now arranged teams gasped at the prospect of multiple double eliminations. "And, they are in the beginning phase of a race to the sub, which we're hoping they don't screw up." Hannah is shown actually participating this time. "Who is going to lead their team to victory, who won't? Find out today on Total! Drama! Suuuuubmeeeeeerged!"


Opening Sequence

{The intro music plays as multiple camera pop out from random places. The first emerges from the ceiling in the control room, a second from a bowl of fruit, and a third one from a escape hatch.}

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doing fine

{The camera quickly goes through the Super Sub until it hits the sleeping chambers. It moves out the window until it reaches Gretchen, barely swimming underwater. Meanwhile, Juan is pressed up against the wall, trying to avoid Hannah. Juan is unable to escape. Sybil stands on the side and smiles evilly.}

You guys are on my mind

{Ethan and Quaoar both have dueling sticks, but they appear to be evenly matched. Brook shoves Quaoar into water below him, while Ethan passes his dueling stick to Mag, who throws it at Jonathan. Jonathan also falls into water.}

You asked me what I wanted to be

{The camera zooms to the mess hall, where Chef throws food at Damien and Ezekiel. Iris walks over to them, holding one of Quaoar's swords. She makes a threat to the two boys and walks off.}

And I think the answer is plain to see

{Norm sits in his bed as Sheldon begins blabbing off to him. Norm has zoned him out and begins thinking about other things. Luna growls at him in the back, while Adrian overlooks this, laughing.

I wanna be famous

{Flora, Lavender, and Mackenzie are looking at fish out the window. Paul walks over and taps Flora on the shoulder. She gets up and hugs Paul.}

I wanna live close to the sun

{Eden pokes her head out as she watches Juan and Sebastian form some sort of deal. She scowls}

Go pack your bags, cause I've already won

{Kara pokes at an escape pod near some benches. One of them shoots off, startling the girl.}

Everything to prove, nothing in my way

{Aaron and Sebastian are seen arguing in front of their team. Meanwhile, Eden in looking for something.}

I'll get there one day

{Ezekiel is now seen with Ethan, who is teaching him something.}

Cause I wanna be, famous

{Kayla writes on a white board while Sheldon observes. Basic social manners can be seen on the board.}

Na na na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na na

{Madison walks away from Sybil, who was being weird. She grabs a dueling stick to face off with Hannah.}

I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!

{Sets of two face off similar to the season five intro. Ethan and Jonathan, Eden and Marty, Madison and Hannah, Quaoar and Iris, Angie and Paul, Therion and Adrian are all facing off.}

I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!

{In the center of them all, Chander is seen spinning fire. He sends one though the middle.}

Whistling- I wanna be famous

{The mess hall zooms out to see all thirty contestants. In the middle, Jonathan has flowers for Kayla, who walks away from it.}


All four teams had begun the challenge. Aaron had a solid lead on the rest of them. He jumped in the water and began swimming to the raft.

Hannah got to the water's edge around the same time as Hannah. Hannah jumped in and began. Luna looked at the water. "If I teleport, I'll make it there faster," she thought out loud. "Then again," she said, looking at Norm, "maybe swimming is safer." She dove in and began going to the raft.

Once Aaron got to the raft, Sebastian stepped in front of his team. "Listen," he said, "we're winning now, but we can't blow this. We all need to pitch in and get there quickly." Sybil raised her hand. Sebastian recognized it. "You don't need to do that, but what?"

She spoke quietly. "Um...I can't swim."

Sebastian fumed briefly, then returned to a smile. "I'll go next then, I have a plan." He ran off.

Next up, was Quaoar on Team Friendship. "Oh, I am going to enjoy this," he says. He bolted off at an alarming speed. Angie left for Team Fire.

Meanwhile, Team Alpha was having a discussion. "Juan goes next, my decision," Ethan said.

"No chance!" Juan protested. "You think I'm gonna be on a raft alone with her?"

Jonathan stepped up. "I'll go!" he said. "If for any reason but to get us out of last."


Down at the rafts, Sebastian made it. "Yes, still in the lead!" He said. He then saw someone get out of the water onto a raft. He gaped briefly as Quaoar closed the lead.

Quaoar smirked at him as Sebastian started looking for a solution to Sybil's problem. "Didn't expect that, did you?" he called out, taunting him. "I'm full of surprises. You do remember I used to be part of a finalist, right?"

Sebastian growled as he and Aaron worked together to get the raft closer to shore. "She should be able to walk from here," Aaron said. "I think we're good."

Sebastian signaled for the next person to go. Mackenzie went as he was speaking to Aaron. "Listen," he said, "first chance we get, I think we boot Sybil. She can't swim! Who knows what else she can't do?"

Aaron shook his head. "Chill, dude, we're like ten minutes into the competition. Besides, if we start to argue now, we'll end up like them." He pointed to Team Friendship's raft.

Currently, Mag and Brook were nearly attacking each other on the raft. "You don't even want to win!" Mag called out. "I can't believe you think you deserve to be on this team!"

Brook shoved Mag. "I don't mind getting my hands dirty to keep my pride." She kicked Mag into the water. She then looked at her team when she saw what she did. "Oh no, I did it again..." she said.


On the beach, people began talking. On Team Fire, things were going better. Angie had taken charge of the team for the time being. "Gretchen, if you claim you've gotten faster, you can go next," she said.

"Yay!" Gretchen called, as she ran over to the raft. Angie rolled her eyes. She was slightly faster than the first day on Karon Island, but not by a lot.

"I spy the villain team," Kara said, as she watched Brook shove Mag into the water, causing Team Friendship to have to restart.


Brook: She sighed and kicked the confessional wall. "Yeah, I'm really competitive," she said. "I don't mind getting my hands dirty to try and win, at least, when I do it. I'm terrible with guilt."


By now, Teams Alpha and I Don't Know have four members on the raft. Team Friendship has one, again, and Team Fire has five. "We're doing well," Norm said. Angie had just made it to the raft. "Ok, Zeke, you're up." Ezekiel nodded in excitement. "Just know," Norm said, "that if you screw this up, I might have to oust ya."

Zeke was very careful as he made his way to the raft. By the time he got on, he had lost the lead, but he got on. "Just two more!" Ethan called. "Juan, you really need to go!"

Juan shook his head. "No thanks, I'll go last. Paul can go."

Paul shook his head. "Just give her a break. What's the worst she can do?" He then ran off.


Juan: "Paul doesn't get it," Juan explained. "Hannah is purely annoying, not like she would hurt a fly, otherwise. Unless it was for me, probably." He stopped dead in his tracks. "Oh, hello bright idea..."


Team I Don't Know was the first to have all their members. "Alright, let's get rowing," Aaron said. They grabbed the oars off their raft and began heading toward the submarine. Team Alpha finished and started breaking off as well.

"They're catching up," Sebastian said. "We need to row faster."

Aaron looked at him funny. "You know that if we go any faster someone could fall in. Besides, the other teams are nowhere near finished." Sebastian glared at him and started to pick up his own pace.


Team Friendship was having issues. "Why can't we get along?" Marty asked.

"I'm in agreement," Therion added. He then muttered, "For now."

Quaoar got to the raft for the second time. "Two more," he said. "Iris, your turn!"

Iris shook her head. "Yeah, and get blamed when it tips over? No thanks, I'm not new to this."

"I can't believe these people," Chander said. He went over to the raft and started getting on.

Marty looked at the team. "We're not far enough into last place," he said to himself. "This will do." He grabbed the opposite corner of the raft Chander was on and flipped it. They all fell in.

"We have to restart?" Adrian asked. "Again? You people are useless!"

"Chander should have balanced better!" Marty accused. "Just saying. Not trying to be mean."

Brook nodded. "He has a point. Chander, you screwed this up." Chander glared at Marty, who smirked as he swam back.

Iris scowled at them. "Yeah, like I was going to take the blame for that. Nice try."


Team I Don't Know was almost done getting everyone in, as was Team Alpha. "Pencil, pull yourself up!" Paul called to Sheldon. "You're the last person!"

Sheldon was struggling. "You try having the pressure of team brains. Not like you will as long as I'm here."

Ethan popped out of the top hatch from the submarine. "Everyone else, go in," he ordered. "I'll handle Sheldon." They all listened. "Here," he said, pulling out a hand.

Sheldon grabbed on. "Thanks," he said. "What you lack in my brainpower you make up for in leadership." Ethan beamed.


Ethan: He's smiling and jumping up and down. "I've been forgiven! I can win this game on effort alone! I don't need scheming!"


Inside the Super Sub, Chris waited. Sheldon came to the ground in a crashing manner. "Well," Chris said. "I certainly didn't expect this, but you guys won! Team Alpha takes first place." They all cheered.

"Seems like Team Alpha wasn't such a bad name," Kayla said. "Maybe it's not victory-like enough."

"I agree completely," Jonathan said. Kayla shot him an odd look, then gasped.


Kayla: Her eyes are wide and she's pacing in the small space. "I saw this. I watched it. Madison suffered from it. She was eliminated because of it." She laughed. "I'm not an idiot. I plan on turning the tables on him before he gets a chance to put me in danger."


Very soon after, Eden jumped in through the hatch. "Well," she said. "That's a little more than I planned for today."

"Well," Chris said. "Team I Don't Know, you guys made it here second, so you all get to see another day." The eight of them cheered. "It's down to Team Fire and Team Friendship."


Team Fire was rowing toward the submarine. "We're not losin'!" Ezekiel cheered.

"Don't get cocky," Norm said. "We're getting third, we have a possibility of eliminating someone."

Luna growled. "Norm, how dare you take the joy out of this poor boy. What would," she said the last few words slyly, "you know who say?"

Norm turned slightly red and then shook it off. "It isn't important, and if you could not read my mind for a few seconds that would be awesome!"

They arrived at the submarine. "Let's unload and get in. Team Friendship is so done!" Angie said.

"Yay, we all get to stay!" Gretchen said.

Kara sighed. "Maybe you'll learn soon."

"Learn what?" Gretchen asked.


Gretchen: She laughs at no one. "I don't think learning's necessary," she said. "I know that I'm safe today, which means I do better already!" She stops. "Is 29th better than 20th if there's ten more people?"


They all started loading up. Suddenly, a scream was heard from the raft. "Is everyone okay?" Flora asked, poking her head up through the hatch.

Luna's head came out of the water. "Norm shoved me!"

Norm was currently climbing up the submarine. He laughed. "You guys don't actually believe that, right?"


Luna: She sighed. "I don't want to play dirty, I really don't. Problem is, I almost died last season because of him. I can't run that risk again. So, losing a challenge should be a good way to handle it."


"Look!" Chander cried out as Team Friendship finally loaded their raft up. "Team Fire has to go back!"

"Perfect," Adrian said. "Maybe you can be useful for pointing out obvious things!" Chander glared at him, and Therion did too.

"That doesn't matter," Marty said. "We got to the sub. Let's stop fighting and claim third place."

Mag smiled at Marty. "Thanks for actually trying to help this team out."


Mag: She scowls as she talks. "I don't believe Marty for a second. I saw what he did to Chander on the raft, and he should know he has my vote tonight."


Inside the submarine, the other teams are waiting. Team Friendship makes it in. "Didn't expect us, did you?" Quaoar asks, smiling.

Chris nods. "Well, I saw what happened, so yeah, I did. You guys come in third. Not telling you if you are going to elimination yet, but know I need you there regardless." They all grumbled.

Team Fire got into the submarine about twenty minutes later. "Glad you could show up," Chris said. "You will be sending someone home tonight. But first, let's take a tour of this place." They all followed him.

They first entered the control room. It was a pretty dirty place. A huge panel was up front, which Chef was operating. "As you can see," Chris said to the cast, "Chef is slacking off, again."

"I wasn't even certified to fly that plane!" Chef said. "How do you expect me to operate this thing without crashin' it?"

"Not my problem," Chris said. "Moving on!"

They went into the sleeping areas next. "You will each have a pod for your team. They can hold up to eight, so good luck cramming everyone in."

Juan raised his hand. "I have to sleep in the same room, as her?" He pointed to Hannah, who was jumping up and down.

Chris nodded. "Yes, and you won't complain." Juan scowled. Chris went over to the hatch area. "Here's the top hatch," Chris said. "Each day it's equipped with one to two escape pods." Commotion started. "That's right," he said, "you will be doing a different type of Launch of Shame this time, more like a, resurface of remorse, the Shot of Shame!"


Adrian: He shakes his head. "That pod looks about as clean as this confessional. No chance am I getting in there, and I'll make sure of it!"


Chris finally gathered everyone in the dining area. "So, with any questions not relevant, you should figure you'll eat here." They all sat down by team. "And, as part of this season, you will be singing!" Everyone groaned. "If you here this sound," Chris said, hitting a button on a remote.

Ding-Ding

"That, is the original song," Chris continued. "If you hear that sound, your song has to be new, something we haven't heard before. If you hear this sound:" he pressed a different button.

Ding-Dong

"You will be singing a World Tour Recreation! Think about it like a freebie. These are much easier." He laughed. No one else did. "Aww, don't be so mad about it, maybe this will cheer you up!" He hits a button.

Ding-Dong

"Now?" Sebastian asked. "Are you nuts?"

"No," Chris said. "So, let's hear it!"


Musical Time!

Song: "Come Swim With Us" (To the tune of "Come Fly With Us")

{The iconic beginning note plays}

Sheldon began, followed by Sebastian, Marty, and Ethan. Down! Down! Down! Down!

On the other side, Mag, Kayla, Kara, and Eden went next. No! No! No! No!

We're Sounding! All the boys sang, as Quaoar repeatedly punched a control panel with an alarm on it.

It's browning!" All the girls sang, as Kara made a face at the disgusting ocean outside.

I'm pretty sure we're drowning! Everyone sand together. The music picked up into into a faster tempo.

Come swim with us! Hannah sang, excited.

Come swim with us, Juan sang, less enthusiastic.

Eden popped out of a sleeping area. We've got a lot of evil, no one to trust. Ha-ha!

Come swim with us! Gretchen sang.

Come swim with us! Angie said, joining in the madness.

I'm leaving them all in the dust! Adrian half-sang, keeping in line with the original song. Gretchen giggled. Angie did not.

Man this sucks, will this nightmare end? Norm sang, very bored.

Luna retorted back at him. Yeah? Well I hope this trip has a lion's den!

Marty popped in. Guys, come on, why can't we be friends?

Sebastian and Ethan jumped in at the same time. With my leadership to guide them, victory has no eeeeeeeeeend! They stopped and stared each other down briefly.

The music drops down to a jazzy, big-band style pace. Come swim with us! Brook sang

After a short brass fill, Chander joined in. Come swim with us!

The camera turned to the control room of the submarine, where Sheldon was badgering Chef with questions. "Are you sure you've taken the right launch protocols?"

"I might've," Chef answered. Sheldon had a worried look on his face.

The camera turned to Ezekiel in the sleeping chambers. They think they can boot me first again, well I know now that girls are just as good as meeeeeeeeen!

The shot quickly switched to Kayla in the mess hall, looking at a window. Come swim with us! Be grim with us...

The camera transitioned back to the front of the mess hall, where Paul and Jonathan were scowling. Aaron, Sybil, Damien, and Lavender showed up in front of Jonathan. Come swim with us!

Come sing with us! Therion, Flora, Madison, and Mackenzie said, in front of Paul. They both responded with a steady "No!"

Chris appeared in front of them. "You guys should know the drill by now," he said.

Lavender took the paper from her. All, who don't sing, won't be on the shoooow.

Kayla scoffed in front of Paul. Not my problem! She said, holding back a laugh. Bye, Pual!

Ethan went in front of Jonathan. You'll be gonzo! That's all.

Jonathan stared him down. "Not this time," he said. Come swim with us! Come swim with us! Come, and swim, with us!

Flora went over to Paul. "Please stay," she begged.

Paul sighed. Fooooooooor nooooooooooooooow. Everyone was gathered behind him. They ended the song with, "Yeah!"

Chris walked over. "Interesting. Unoriginal, and bad. Exactly what I asked for! Don't expect to be that lucky with the singing tomorrow." They all groaned.


After some time, everyone was settling in the sleeping quarters. Juan laid on his bed, and sighed. "Is something wrong?" someone from outside asked. Juan looked up to surprisingly see Hannah there, genuinely concerned.


Juan: "This is my chance," he said, smirking. "I can run a trial run today, and if it goes as well as I planned, consider me and Hannah, 'dating,' as long as she's my peon." He laughed, then got serious. "If I start acting like that, please kill me."


Juan sighed. "I just feel so, overwhelmed," he said. Hannah went over to his bed to listen. "With all these people, and with big threats here, I'm starting to question how well we can handle this together."

Hannah perked up. "Leave it to me! I can talk to people! Whoever is causing my sweetie pie trouble, consider them gone!"

Juan smirked. "Thank you so much," he said. "Now, here's who I want gone." He whispered a name into Hannah's ear.

"Sure thing!" she said enthusiastically. She kissed Juan on the cheek as she left.


Juan: He's currently washing his face off with heavy duty dish soap. "I'm going to have to set some boundaries for this relationship, however."


Elimination 1, Team Friendship and Team Fire

Chris had two sets of bleachers out. "Team Fire," Chris said, "you all screwed up badly today. Let's see who you all blamed for your loss." He brought out marshmallows.

"Couldn't find a theme, huh?" Angie said, with evident meanness in her voice.

Chris retorted with, "You try finding a theme!" He changed the subject. "Team Fire, the first escape pod will be yours, more specifically, whoever you send out of here." He tossed out the first marshmallow. "Kara."

They all watched as Kara got her marshmallow. Chris announced two more. "Madison, Flora." They all caught their symbols of safety. "Angie."

Angie walked up and laughed. "I expect a theme before I get out of here. Finale enough time for you?"

Chris rolled his eyes. "Don't push it." He tossed out another marshmallow. "Gretchen."

"Yay!" Gretchen cheered. "I get to stay! Angie, isn't that great?"

"Sure is," Angie said.

Chris held up two marshmallows. "This is fun, three people and not enough safety for all of them." Norm looked bored, Luna also looked angry, and Ezekiel was a nervous wreck. "For the first time ever, I am, well, not sure how I feel about it." He tossed the marshmallow. "Ezekiel!"

"Oh man!" he said, super excited. "You guys won't regret this! I'm gonna help this time!" He stopped. "Oh! My bad! And girls. You guys are important too!" A few team members laughed.

It was down to Luna and Norm. They both sat up a bit, and stared the other down. "We're down to two," Chris said. "Norm, you're on the chopping block for annoyingly arguing with your ex, and Luna, you're on the chopping block for annoyingly arguing with your ex." They both continued to glare at each other, knowing one of them was toast. "The loser, and first person to ever be eliminated before Zeke, is...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...Norm!"

Norm got up. "Kind of saw this coming. Honestly, I'm relieved."He went over to Luna. "You'll regret this." He went into the escape pod and was fired out.

Chris turned to Team Friendship. "Well, this will be fun. You guys all voted, and once I say who had the most votes, I'll tell you if you are actually eliminating someone." He tossed out two marshmallows. "Brook. Adrian." Both of them smirked as they caught their safety tasty treats. "Mag." She didn't move, and caught it in one hand.

Therion began to look nervous, as did Iris.


Iris: "I knew it!" she said. "They're all out to get me! I must have had votes! If I'm not first, I'm definitely gone!"


"Therion," Chris said. Therion smiled as he caught his marshmallow. He then turned to Marty, who didn't acknowledge him. "Marty." Marty now smirked back at Therion, who made a low growl.

"Quaoar," Chris continued. Quaoar smiled and skewered his on the edge of his sword.

Iris scowled at her team. "I knew it was too good to be true," she said. "Nice going. I was the only one prepared!"

Chris cut her off. "I have one more marshmallow, and it does NOT go to...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...Chander. Sorry dude, you're out."

He got up and sighed. "If only you have gotten to know me," he said, upset.

"Sorry, but you cost us the challenge," Marty said. "No hard feelings, right?"

Chander shook his head. "No promises," he said.

"Hey!" Chris said. "So, you did vote someone out. As part of our first episode, we want to try everything!"

"So, no elimination?" Therion asked.

"No!" Chris answered. "He'll be out. We're trying out the double elimination."

He was put in the pod and shot out. Therion looked over to Marty, who shrugged.


Marty: He has a puzzled look on his face. "So I actually didn't get the others to vote off Chander. After the challenge, I didn't do anything." He began pacing. "So, I make whoever did vote him off under my control, then I rule this game!" He also paused again. "Also, Therion seems to be on to me. He'll have to go sooner than I planned."


Adrian: He's smirking, like he's proud of himself. "Did you see how easily they complied? I'll have this game taken care of in no time! They're already mine!"


The other teams left. Juan took a look at the teams as they left.


Juan: "So it worked," he said. "Let's just see how much patience I have."


"That's a wrap!" Chris said. "Two today, maybe two the next challenge! Who will make it to the end, and who will be cut short? Find out next time on Total! Drama! Suuuuuuubmeeeeerged!"

So, that's the first full episode! Sorry to Chander's creator. I will have the earlier eliminated contestants be more active in aftermath shows.

How long do you think Juan's gonna be able to put up with this? (As clarification, he was the cause of Norm's elimination, not Chander's.)

Norm was a planned early elimination, but I still have stuff planned for him. You'll see. I mean, I did warn major players last time might be gone early.

So yes, Team Alpha won the challenge. It will not always be that way. All teams win at least one or two challenges.

I'm still finalizing the general eliminations. I have ballparks for everyone, but nothing is final. I am pretty content with my current finale pick though.

So, let me know how I did with your OC, and let me know who you think is going next! Until next time, I'm outta here.


ELIMINATION TABLE:

30th- Norm

29th- Chander
