Total Drama Action: Day 01 Part 2: Dead Cast Mate's Chest

Chris Maclean stood outside the lodge at the abandoned movie lot. "Welcome back to Total Drama Action!" Chris exclaimed happily as the camera began rolling and the show continued.

"If you were hiding under a rock and missed the beginning of this episode, our fourteen cast mates arrived on the set and began their first challenge, a pirate themed challenge!" Chris exclaimed as he smiled for the camera, hoping someone watching was attracted to him.

He started to walk towards his red ATV vehicle he had used back on the island.

"Which cast mate or cast mates will find the treasure and win the challenge?" Chris asked the viewing audience, trying to hook them into watching the rest of the episode. "Well, you'll have to stay tuned and find out!"

Chris got on his ATV and drove off screen, probably to harass some of the cast mates.

Geoff and Bridgette hadn't made it very far until they began to make out again.

They were probably in last place as most of the other groups, and Heather had probably already made it to the pirate themed village set.

The party boy and surfer girl were just standing, in the middle of the movie lot kissing. They hadn't moved far from the lodge where the challenge had started, but neither of them seemed to care.

After a few more moments of making out, they finally separated to catch their breath.

"Geoff, we're probably in last place," Bridgette said a little short of breath. Geoff looked at her as if she was crazy.

"Why do you think that?" he asked her as if he were oblivious to all the time they had wasted. "We're making great progress." Geoff wasn't always the most observant guy.

"Honey, the challenge has been going on for an hour and we've barely moved," the blonde haired surfer girl told her boyfriend in a serious tone.

Geoff eyed Bridgette. He couldn't believe that it had really been that long.

"Seriously, that's so crazy!" Geoff exclaimed looking towards the east where all the other cast mates had gone. He scratched his chin, then looked back at his girlfriend and smiled.

"Okay babe, we have to be serious," he told Bridgette who nodded. "We need to win this challenge and the season so we can split the money, so let's go!"

Geoff started walking, followed by Bridgette who looked confused.

"Hey, who said I would split the prize money with you?" Bridgette asked him.

Geoff stopped walking and turned to his surfer girlfriend with a confused expression. "What do you mean, we agreed to share the money back at the camp," Geoff reminded her. They had teamed up and decided to split the million dollars together. They had such a great time looking together, Geoff thought. Well, he didn't like almost getting killed a few times, but regardless.

"Well yeah, but we didn't even come close," Bridgette argued as they walked towards the pirate village. The fake village was in view now, only a short distance away from the two.

"But, we tied with the others and we're here, we have another shot!" Geoff defended getting a little upset at the fact that his Bridgette wasn't interested in splitting the money with him.

"Well, you need to stop distracting me so one of us can actually win the money," Bridgette scolded. Geoff stopped walking and glared at her.

"Well you're the one who can't keep your lips off me!" Geoff snapped, actually having a rare moment of getting mad.

Bridgette turned to glare at Geoff.

Then, Chris came driving up in his red ATV like vehicle. "What are you two lovebirds doing?" he asked annoyed. Geoff and Bridgette kissing weren't really going to get him ratings.

"You two are WAY behind the other cast mates," Chris continued. Sadly, the host hadn't known this was a bad time to criticize the two. If he had known, he probably would've taken a lot more pleasure in doing so.

"Well, we were going to work together, but I guess we aren't anymore," Bridgette replied as she turned away from Geoff and crossed her arms across her chest.

Geoff gasped and Chris chuckled. Even though Geoff and Bridgette were arguing, he loved it. Now this was going to bring in ratings for sure.

"Fine, I don't need you," Geoff retorted in an upset tone. "I bet Heather doesn't have a partner. I'll team up with her; she's way hotter than you." And with that Geoff walked off, leaving Bridgette shocked and hurt.

Chris watched Geoff walk away and then turned back to his seemingly ex-girlfriend.

"Ouch, that had to hurt," Chris chuckled sadistically as he drove off towards the movie set. Bridgette sighed and then walked off to search for the treasure, alone.

(Confession Dressing Room)

Bridgette: "Alright, I know making out with Geoff isn't the best way to win a challenge, but seriously, does he think we can work well together? Sure, I like him, a lot, but I can never stay focused with him around." \Bridgette crossed her arms and rolls her eyes\ "And he said it was my fault. Yeah right!"

Meanwhile, Duncan and DJ with their combined efforts had reached the pirate village with ease. The village was dark and the duo had yet to run into any of the other cast mates. This made DJ a little on edge.

"Dude is just me or this place kind of creepy?" DJ asked Duncan as he looked around at the small dark houses and buildings.

Duncan rolled his eyes. "It's all in your head," the punk told his friend with an edge of annoyance in his voice.

This wasn't the first time DJ asked him the question. Ever since they reached the fake village set, DJ had asked Duncan the same question at least four other times. Duncan knew that DJ was a bit of a coward, but the constant, recurring question was beginning to aggravate him.

"Man up dude, nothing bad is going to happen," Duncan continued to assure his friend with some confidence. "What's going to happen? This is a reality show, it's not like we're actually going to be ambushed and attacked by pirates."

DJ smiled. His friend's words, no matter how much of an annoyed tone they had made the gentle giant feel better about being out on the set alone.

"I guess you're right," DJ admitted with a smile. "Nothing bad can happen."

As if the world was working against DJ, Chef Hatchet dressed as a pirate captain and accompanied by two other interns dressed as pirates jumped out a nearby alley.

They drew their swords and screamed out, gaining both Duncan and DJ's attention.

"Argh, these be our parts, no trespassing," Chef Hatchet snapped at the two trying to pull off a pirate accent and failing, just like Chris had earlier.

DJ let out a loud, girlish scream and jumped behind Duncan. The strong, but gentle giant cowered behind Duncan who rolled his eyes. He bad boy eyed Chef Hatcher and smirked.

"I think Chris said that you guys would be protecting the treasure," Duncan said, remembering the sadistic host's instructions. "I guess we must be getting close to it, huh?"

Chef Hatchet or Captain Hatchet glared at his enemy and took a step closer followed by his "crew." Duncan bawled his hands into fists and didn't back down. Captain Hatchet took a step forward, but Duncan still showed no signs of fear or backing down.

"Oh, I'm so scared," Duncan teased the large and angry chef with a laugh. "What are you going to do? Whack me with that cheap, fake toy sword?"

Chef Hatchet scowled as Duncan and swung his sword horizontally. The sound of the sword cutting through the air was heard and Duncan's eyes widened, realizing that the swords were real.

"Okay then, that's different," Duncan admitted a little frightened by the usually angered Chef, that now had a real weapon.

The punk turned around to see that DJ had already took off running screaming like a girl. Duncan scratched his head and turned to Chef and his intern pirate crew, wondering if he should try facing them alone.

"I guess DJ had the right idea," Duncan exclaimed as he turned and took off, screaming, but not as girlish as DJ. Chef Hatchet chuckled at his victory and set off after his rival, followed by his intern crew.

Lindsay was actually able to successfully lead Justin and Beth to the fake pirate ship without being caught by any pirates, surprisingly.

"Wow Lindsay, I'm impressed," Justin said as they approached the pirate ship sitting on the ground. "I guess you actually couldn't screw this up."

Lindsay happily nodded.

"I know, right?" she cheerfully replied.

Justin rolled his eyes as he entered the pirate ship with Lindsay and Beth. Little did the three know that Owen and Izzy, or E-Scope had gone through with their plan and had followed the three all the way to the pirate ship.

The ship was designed to look old and abandoned. There were cobwebs everywhere and an eerie feel to the fake, but very convincing pirate ship.

"This place gives me the creeps," Lindsay said with a scared tone. Beth nodded and the two best female friends hugged each other.

Izzy and Owen began to sneak up behind the three, hoping not to be caught by the others. They were doing well until Owen let out a fart and chuckled.

"Oh good God almighty," Owen chuckled as his voice raised a few notes. Instantly, the smell traveled to Justin, Lindsay and Beth's noses and they turned to face Izzy and Owen with disgusted expressions.

"Did you follow us here?" Beth asked the two a little hurt that they would sneak around behind her and her friends' backs.

Izzy and Owen nodded. "We were on a spy mission," Izzy replied, happily as usual. "And we were able to complete our mission. So now, we can find the treasure before you two!"

Lindsay looked around the area and then put on a wide smile as another good idea popped into her head. This had to be a really good day for Lindsay.

"I know, how about we all work together?" the blonde beauty suggested with some cheer and pep in her voice.

Owen and Beth smiled, seemingly agreeing with the peaceful solution. Izzy glared at Justin who gave her a devious smirk, but then, the crazy redhead sighed.

"I guess we can all work together," she replied reluctantly. Lindsay and Beth cheered at the success of Lindsay's plan and then the five began to walk around the pirate ship in search for some sort of treasure. The five searched the bottom rooms of the ship and still hadn't found any luck in finding something that looked like treasure.

"If I were Chris, where would I hide treasure?" Justin asked himself, scratching his chin.

Izzy and Owen decided to take a look up on the deck for the treasure and the other three followed them. Once they were on the deck, they split up again in an attempt to search the whole ship.

A few minutes passed and still, the group had found nothing. They regrouped on the poop deck. "Still nothing, Lindsay, are you sure this is where the treasure is?" Justin groaned. Lindsay scratched her head in thought.

"Uh, I guess I was wrong," Lindsay admitted. The other four groaned.

"We wasted all this time for nothing!" Izzy exclaimed with an angry tone. The crazy girl didn't want to lose the challenge, but it seemed they had come to a dead end. Her angry expression faded when she turned to Owen. "What do you think Owen?"

"Haha, poop deck," Owen chuckled. Everyone groaned again.

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm off to search," Justin told them as he turned and headed towards the dock. Lindsay and Beth squealed happily as they ran off after the male model.

"Come on, we can't let them get away!" Izzy told Owen. It seemed the truce between her and Justin had worn off. She quickly took off after Justin and the two best female friends with Owen following behind her.

Heather was walking through the pirate set village alone. No one offered to be her partner, which was fine with her. When she found the treasure, she wouldn't split it with anyone.

But sadly, the queen bee hadn't had any luck in her search. She was in second to last place, only in front of Geoff and Bridgette.

"Dang it Chris," she complained to herself. "Where would a complete narcissist hide treasure?" Heather stopped walking and crossed her arms over her chest in thought.

She thought it would be easy to figure out where Chris had hidden the treasure, she, like Chris, loved herself more than anyone.

She looked up and noticed the fake pirate ship in the distance. She thought about heading there, but thought that would too easy, Chris wouldn't make it that easy for them, he never did.

She continued to walk not sure of what to do next. Heather looked up and then was surprised when she saw Harold, Gwen, Trent and LeShawna running in the direction she was going and they were a few yards in front of her. The popular, but bald girl smirked.

"Those four are four of the best competitors here," she said to herself quietly. "They have to have a clue on where the treasure is."

Heather started to walk off to sneakily follow her enemies and her only "friend" Harold, but she stopped when she heard a familiar voice.

"Hey Heather," Geoff called out to her. Heather turned, shocked as to why he wasn't with Bridgette and why he was even talking to her. The two never really got along and they didn't talk much during the first season.

"What?" Heather snapped bitterly at Geoff.

In response, Geoff raised his hands up in defense.

"It's cool, just chill, I was just wondering if you wanted a partner to help you out," Geoff told her, offering to work with her like he had threatened Bridgette. Heather was a little shocked; she wondered why in the world would Geoff want to work with her?

"What about Bridgette?" Heather asked, a little unsure whether or not she should trust someone she didn't get along with.

Geoff then explained what had happened between him and Bridgette.

Heather was a little shocked to hear that the two had argued. They never did. But the queen bee didn't care very much, she hated both Geoff and Bridgette, but some company, even if it was Geoff would be nice. And Heather loved having someone around to boss around.

"Fine, you can follow me, but don't bother me," she told her rudely as she turned and started walking. Geoff smiled and followed.

They walked around the village a little bit, but figured out they were just walking in circles. Geoff noticed that every few seconds, Heather grumbled and complained. She was getting more and more upset with the difficulty of the challenge.

"Where did Chris hide this stupid treasure?!" Heather screamed finally as she stomped her small foot on the ground. "Why does he have to make everything so hard?!"

Heather continued to walk and Geoff was saying something to her, but the popular girl really wasn't paying much attention to him. She turned a corner and was shocked to see Trent, Gwen, Harold and LeShawna walking together, their backs to her.

She turned to Geoff. "I have a plan," she whispered to him. Geoff looked at her, finally shutting up and giving Heather his full attention.

"We can follow them, they're some of the smartest players and I'm sure they'll lead us right to the treasure," Heather told Geoff with a devious smirk.

Geoff nodded and the two started to quietly follow Trent, Gwen, Harold and LeShawna, hoping that they could find the treasure before them.

(Confession Dressing Room)

Geoff: "It's not that I like Heather, I don't. And I don't like how she acts either. But, some of what Bridgette said really hurt, you know? So I kinda' wanted to get back at her. I didn't see myself making a full time partnership with Heather; it was kind of just a onetime deal. I sure hope Bridgette will forgive me for what I said to her."

Bridgette: "Geoff is such a jerk! I can't believe he actually decided to team up with Heather! How low can you go?" \Bridgette glares at the camera\

Duncan and DJ were able to give Chef Hatchet and his pirate crew the slip. They weren't too far from where Heather, Geoff, LeShawna, Gwen, Trent and Harold were, but the two friends didn't know that.

"Where should we go now?" DJ asked, a little afraid. The gentle giant didn't want to run into those pirates again.

Duncan began to think. He didn't know the area well and it would be hard to get around.

"Hmm, I 'dunno, I guess we just keep searching until we run into someone," Duncan suggested to DJ who shrugged his shoulders and nodded. There really wasn't much other choice.

The two friends walked around in silence for a while not knowing where they were really going. Duncan hoped to run into someone that they could follow to the treasure and DJ was just following.

Sadly, they hadn't had much luck walking around and they were both on the verge of giving up until they turned a corner and saw Bridgette walking around, all alone. Feeling bad for the surfer girl, DJ walked over to her, followed by Duncan to see what was wrong.

"Bridgette, girl you okay?" DJ asked her as they approached.

Bridgette looked up and smiled lightly, but still looked sad.

"I'm fine, it's just Geoff and I had a fight and I'm kind of lost," the surfer girl explained. DJ looked at Duncan sadly and the green haired criminal rolled his eyes lightly.

"Hey Malibu, want to tag along?" Duncan asked reluctantly. Duncan had gotten the hint that DJ wanted Bridgette to come with them and Duncan really wasn't for that. But when DJ had looked at him sadly, he caved. Man, he had to get tougher.

Bridgette's face lit up happily and she nodded. "Okay thanks, I think all three of us can find that treasure or whatever Chris had waiting for us," she said happily as she started walking.

"That's the spirit," DJ agreed.

The new team of three started walking down the street of the pirate village. Although Bridgette and DJ were hopeful that they could find the treasure, Duncan really wasn't looking on the bright side of things.

It was no secret that he didn't like Bridgette that much, but now, he thought that she would slow him down due to her klutziness. Duncan decided that he would give her a chance, not much harm could come from that.

But, if anything went wrong, the punk planned on ditching both DJ and Bridgette since neither of them had really been a help to him yet.

That treasure was going to be all his.

Note: And there's chapter two! Sorry it took me so long, but between school and work, life has been hard so it's taken me a while to write this. But, I hope you liked it. I've been inspired by the new Total Drama Action episodes which are getting better in my opinion. I wonder who will win, but I'm upset that Justin and Lindsay have been kicked off. Sorry for that spoiler.

Please leave me a review. I love to hear feedback on my work. Also tell me if I'm keeping the characters in character and keeping the story original. I don't want to make this like the real Total Drama Action. So I hope you enjoyed and…Happy Halloween!
