I never really got to watch the Phobia Factor challenge. It was just never on when I was able to watch TV... But from what I've heard it was awesome.

PS: I know that I said Rosalind's fear in the first (kinda) chapter was clowns; well, I'm changing it. I had a funnier idea for her worst fear. That, and because Samantha and Angie were also scared of clowns.

PSS: Jaydee's worst fear was swimming, so the authoress would like to apologize for making Jaydee swim in the theme song.

Disclaimer: EEE! Back, you lawsuit-seeking harpies, I own NOTHING!

"Last time on Total Drama Blainerific...

The teams were sent on a quest to discover the long lost city of - you guessed - or maybe you didn't - Blainelantis! After pocketing Richard's PSP and losing memory of it, Jacky caused the video game-aholic to go on a rampage that cost his team the win. Briana, the clever little minx from the Screaming Gladiators, stole Richard's PSP from Jacky, so when the poor girl remembered that she pocketed it, Richard swore she was lying on was bent on eliminating her - which, sadly, she was, but not after finding out that Jacky was telling the truth after all. The poor guy feel's like crap right now!

Will Richard ever forgive himself for Jacky's unfair elimination? Will Bailey and Chase make out anytime soon? Will Briana's karma get back at her? Find out now on Total... Drama... Blainerific!"

(Theme song: Go to The Race From Hell for details)

It was about 7:00 AM, and everyone, Gladiator or Barbarian, was doing their own little thing. Shall the authoress say what each person was doing? She shall!

Christoph was in the kitchen of the Mess Hall, making his team some breakfast because Chef had gotten food poisoning. From what, nobody knew, but everybody DID know that he had sampled his own 'special' the night before.

Chase and Bailey were, once again, hanging out on the Dock. To the other gossipy campers (and the gossipy intern Rosalia), it had become their 'cute wittle thing', which would make both teenagers blush at this comment.

Leola and Ben were also hanging out, comparing their musical talents and giving the other advice on their music. While Leola was good with music on the computer and Ben with actual instruments, the two thought that putting them together would make some amazing sound.

Samantha was spending the morning reading, and yet not truly paying attention to her novel. There were still questions on her mind from the previous challenge; did Zakk really ask her out? Did he actually mean it as 'just friends'? And for that matter, what did the two really think of each other? They'd only been here a while and yet Samantha was beginning to wonder whether she thought of him as 'just friends'.

There was another little group spending time together that morning as well, from the Screaming Gladiators, of Bunifa, Rosalind, and Zakk. Ever since the three had entered the show, a strong feeling of friendship had formed between the ghetto girl and the two rebels. Everyone in that friendship was waiting for one of them to suggest what was all on their minds: an alliance after the merge. Bunifa and Rosalind both knew it would be good to join with Zakk now, because besides that he was a strong competitor, he was also obviously crushing on Samantha, and joining an alliance with him would also get Samantha on their side as well.

Briana, the clever little minx from the Screaming Gladiators as Blaineley had put it, had observed the Killer Barbarians and knew that Delia was the self-proclaimed leader of it. So she was befriending said New Yorker right now, knowing that if she could manipulate Delia, she would have the Killer Barbarians right in her grasp.

Alan, meanwhile, was chatting with Richard about Jacky. "So dude... did you, uh, like Jacky or anything?" Alan asked as Richard was playing absent-mindedly on his Atari Lynx * and sipping on an orange soda. Upon hearing this question, his eyes comically went wide and the soda spat out of his mouth.

"No, why'd you think that?" He questioned. Alan shrugged.

"I dunno. You guys just seemed like it, y'know?" He said. Richard shook his head.

"No, Jacky and I were just in that about-to-become-friends stage. Jacky's a pretty girl, and fairly nice, don't get me wrong, but I'm just not into her that way." He explained. Alan nodded.

"Oh, I see. Denial is what you're in."

"Al, shut up."

Lucian frowned, his brow furrowing together as he worked on this more recent mystery here at Camp. It was leaving him frustrated and angry. Someone had stolen his cupcake. But soon, his mystery was solved as he followed a trail of chocolate crumbs, and realized Calvin was the one who stole it.

"Calvin! What the he - I specifically put a note, on my cupcake, that SPECIFICALLY said 'this is Lucian's cupcake, don't eat'! And you ate it ANYWAY? Why would you DO that?" Lucian said angrily.

Calvin shrugged. "The note didn't physically stop me, did it?"

"Well, no, but - "

"Well, then there you have it! Next time you should think about that, hmm?"

"You know what? Die. Just die."

"Out of comebacks, eh Lucy?"

Confessional:

"Remind me to throttle Calvin later." -Lucian, the Screaming Gladiators

But the last event was probably the most, well, eventful out of them all. Angie, Emily, and Jaydee were all spectators to a very heated argument between Wolfgang and Adam.

"What the hell, Wolfgang?" Adam said angrily to Wolfgang, who'd been talking to Angie just before Adam burst over.

The punk rose a brow. "Well now, that's hardly the way to begin a conversation, let alone hold a greeting." He said in a smart-aleck tone.

Adam would've had steam coming out of his ears, had he been a cartoon. "I don't effin' care, Wolfie, so you'd better listen to me! Stay the HELL away from Angie! Or I'll KILL you!" He threatened, holding a fist to Wolfgang's face. The punk was momentarily stunned before replying.

"Adam, I'm just friends with your sister - " He began, before being interrupting again.

"Oh sure. So let's get this straight - all of these private chats that you guys have had since the last challenge are just friendly conversations?"

"That would be correct."

"And you were so ecsatic to see her safe and sound when I saved her last challenge because you're just friends?"

"And the Adam scores another 'yes!'"

"And you're NOT interested in Angie that way?" This time, the young prankster had caught Wolfgang.

Confessional:

"So... hum... Alright, seeing as I'm in the 'Confessional', I'll be honest here. I do like Angie, a little. She's a nice, sweet person and I think she's really cool. I want to - I dunno - impress her, flirt and stuff, and I want to be honest about my feelings. But at the same time, if I'm honest about how I feel in front of her brother, he'll kill me. So what could I say? If I say I'm not interested I lose a chance to get to know Angie more. But if I say yes, like I said, Adam kills me. Dammit." -Wolfgang, The Killer Barbarians

*buzz*

"And he expects me to believe that crap? 'I'm not into Angelina McLine, we're just friends, blah blah blah.' Uh huh, and I'm Santa frickin' Claus. Just watch out, Wolfie, I'm not letting you near my sister!" -Adam, The Killer Barbarians

*buzz*

"This is ridiculous! Has anyone even asked what I want? No, no they haven't. Adam... I love him, he's my little bro. And Wolfgang..." She stops to blush, then continues. "He's a sweet guy, who's not as bad as he seems. And I would like to, y'know, try things out... Why can't they let ME decide for once? If it's my life, I should get to decide whether or not I date Wolfgang or not!" -Angie, The Killer Barbarians

So it isn't a surprise that Wolfgang had never been more grateful to hear Blaineley's voice than at that moment. "Attention, campers! Please, report to the elimination bonfire for today's challenge!"

Wolfgang and Adam broke apart from their arguement to listen. Taking advantage of the moment, Angie went forward and talked to Adam on what she thought the challenge might be. Wolfgang walked with Emily and Jaydee, thankful for the given time to think of his response. Jaydee and Emily shared an awkward glance.

At The Bonfire

"Alright campers, you might've seen this challenge before on the original Total Drama. While Chris bugs me, this challenge was a pretty good idea!" Blaineley said, her dress and earrings being silver today. "Today is the day that we face our worst fears!"

Christoph's eyes went wide; it was common knowledge that he hated sunbeds and everything to do with them. Oh crap.

"Interns, please take our campers to their challenge. The team with the most fears faced wins tonight! Now... go!"

Richard - The Killer Barbarians

Richard walked with the intern to his challenge, which was set in a large gaming room that Blaineley allowed herself, the interns, and Chef Hatchet to use.

The intern nodded her head at Richard, handing him a large... Keyblade? The white-haired teen blinked.

"What's this for..." His eyes widened in horror as he realized that Kingdom Hearts was where you used to Keyblade. And that could only mean...

"HEARTLESS!" Richard screamed, as said 'monsters' entered the room, running at him. So he did the rational thing - he swung that Keyblade like hell, destroying the dummies left and right.

As the last mannequin-Heartless fell to the floor, a bell went off for the Killer Barbarians, granting them a point. "Yes!" He cheered himself, tossing the Keyblade in the air... only for it to fall and hit him on the head, successfully knocking him out.

Samantha - The Screaming Gladiators

Samantha shivered. She knew what her greatest fear was, and that was those disgusting, horribly scary clowns. She just couldn't help it.

And so, naturally, that was what was waiting for her in her destination after the intern dropped her off in a room where it was astonishingly dark. A book in her hand and a flashlight in the other, she timidly stepped forward, completely alone, bracing herself for the worst.

Just as she expected, high-pitched giggling came out of the corner. "Hey, Sammy-Wammy!" The clown darted in front of her, honking its nose.

"AUGH!" Samantha screamed, her heart racing. Not really thinking, she smacked the clown over the head with the book and the flashlight, bruising it severely. "E-EAT FLASHLIGHT, YOU D-DIRTY CLOWN!" She yelled, the clown screaming.

The bell went off for the Screaming Gladiators.

Ben - The Screaming Gladiators

Ben was led to his room, curious of what was to come. He knew he was scared of boomerangs, seeing as he had a nasty little incident with one a time ago, but what was Blaineley going to do? What, was she going to continously throw boomerangs at his -

POW!

"Holy - OW!" Ben cursed as another boomerang hit his head. "Would you - AUGH - Stop it - AUGH - LEAVE ME ALONE!" Ben screamed, running out of the room.

The bell did not go off.

Delia - The Killer Barbarians

Delia was not taken to a room, but rather to a small patch of jungle. Small hisses came from everywhere, sending chills up her spine.

"Here you are, Delia. And... watch out for the snakes. They like to BITE." Lacey the intern chuckled malevolently, enjoying Delia's hair raise on her arms. She giggled as she left the area.

Delia shivered, not only from it being cold, but also because she was terrified.

"Heh heh... please don't kill me, snakies..." Delia whispered, shrieking as she saw a pair of eyes from that bush... and that bush... and that bush...

A green head darted forward as a garden snake emerged. "Ssssss..." It hissed. Delia could take no more and screamed, running for her life.

The bell did not go off.

Adam - The Killer Barbarians

Adam scoffed, still in a bad mood after his arguement with Wolfgang. Just who did that PUNK think he was, anyway?

"'Kay Adam, here we are. This guy, you might remember from school." Said Jill the intern. She left the room that deeply resembled a locker room.

Adam's eyes widened as he recognized Bruce, the bully at his high school. How did Blaineley even get him here? Probably her stupid connections.

"Hey, twerp..." Bruce said, baring his ugly teeth. "Just give me your cash, and this'll be pretty easy. If not..." He smacked his fist, grinning stupidly.

Adam's eye twitched. "No way, Butt-Brain Bruce!" He taunted, then screamed running as Bruce began to chase him with his ham-sized fists.

The bell did not go off.

Angie - The Killer Barbarians

Angie thought worriedly about how her little brother was doing. She knew Adam was a big boy, but she knew that bullies were his soft spot. And for that matter, she also feared for Wolfgang. What was his fear, she didn't know, but she was still worried.

"Can't believe two of you guys had the SAME fear! So weird... but here we are, Angie!" Rosalia the intern said, leaving her alone with a sympathetic look.

"Same fear...?" Angie said, before hearing a honking that would always terrify her - again, clowns. "Oh sh..."

The new clown popped out, terrifying the girl. "Augh!" She screamed, as the clown honked its cherry red nose.

"Hey hey hey! Don't cry, little girl, don't - AUGH!" Angie cut him off by grabbing his fake nose and ripping it right off, then stuffing it into his open mouth.

"SUCK ON THAT!" She laughed.

The bell went off for the Killer Barbarians.

Lucian - The Screaming Gladiators

Lucian was left inside a cemetary, with odd rustlings at every turn. His eyebrow was twitching in irritation.

"This. Doesn't. Make. Sense! Ghosts aren't real! Magic isn't real! The supernatural isn't - "

He was cut off by a ghostly shriek coming from a direction his ears couldn't make out - was it one voice or one? This just didn't mix with his logical mind!

But then he realized; ghosts WEREN'T real, and how could Blaineley have gotten a ghost here? He scoffed. "I know it's you, Blaineley or Chef or an intern or whoever. I'm not scared."

The bell went off for the Screaming Gladiators.

Emily - The Screaming Gladiators

Emily's eyes were big as she walked around the small room, when all of a sudden needles were EVERYWHERE. On the walls, the doors, there was even a pit filled with needles right where she was about to step.

"Eee!" She shrieked, her eyes now larger than dinner plates.

But after a few seconds she realized that they weren't going closer, like she'd feared. She exhaled in relief. "T-this is n-nothing! H-ha! I'm alive!" She cheered herself.

The bell went off for the Screaming Gladiators.

Wolfgang - The Killer Barbarians

The room Wolfgang was sent to could hardly be called a room. In fact, he was pretty sure it was more of two-thirds of a broom closet.

"Just spend half an hour in there and you'll get your point!" Said the intern, Aurora. Wolfgang gulped audibly.

"Um... can't I do anything else? Please?" He tried pleading. Aurora shook her head.

"Sorry, Wolfgang. Time to go in." She said. Wolfgang then began his enter into the small room while Aurora stood outside, shutting the door on him and starting a timer.

"Okay, LaFleur, you can do this..." Wolfgang gulped again.

It was really dark in there...

And tight...

He felt like he couldn't breathe...

Holy crap, he couldn't do this!

"AURORA! LET ME OUT! I CAN'T DO THIS!" He panicked. Aurora opened the door, with Wolfgang running out, his eyes that deer-caught-in-the-headlights look.

The bell did not go off.

Confessional:

"...I'm so ashamed." -Wolfgang, The Killer Barbarians

Rosalind: The Screaming Gladiators

Blaineley was chuckling as no intern came to pick up Rosalind. "Blaineley? What about me?" Rosalind said in irritation. She didn't want her team to lose just because queeny here was too lazy to give her a challenge.

Blaineley laughed even more. "We have to wait till everyone that's already done their challenge gets here, silly!" Rosalind's eyes went wide, she didn't really mean...

As everyone that had done their fear came over, Rosalind gulped. "Rose, your fear is stripping in front of everyone! Hop to it!" Blaineley giggled, obviously enjoying her misery.

Rosalind blushed furiously. But this was a million dollars...

She yanked off her clothes, stripping until she was in her bra and panties. Everyone's eyes were wide, some awkward, and some enjoying this free strip session. Oh, such cruel fate that the resident perv - Alan - wasn't there to see this.

"Okay Rose, you win your challenge!" Said Blaineley. Rosalind cheered herself, immediately putting her clothes back on.

The bell went off.

Zakk - The Screaming Gladiators

Zakk was not led to a room. Instead, he was led to a ravine located on some God-forsaken location of the Isle.

"Okay, what the fuck am I supposed to do?" Zakk asked, raising a brow. The intern did not reply, but instead whistled.

Nothing happened.

"Uh huh. I see. So my challenge is to stand here." Said Zakk in sarcasm.

Oh, how Blaineley loved irony. Because not five seconds after Zakk finished his comment did snarling emerge from the bushes. His eyes went in the notorious "oh crap" look.

"If you'll excuse me, I'm getting out of here!" Said the intern, turning on his heels and running like hell.

"Wait, where are you - " He was cut off as five big ass dogs emerged from the bushes, snapping and biting with foam coming out of their mouths. "Oh, shit!" Zakk ran like hell as well (that rhymed), turning as he thought of a way to get away from these fucking dogs.

He ran, not really seeing where he was going until he nearly went over the edge of the ravine. The dogs were still on his heels before Zakk spotted a ledge, getting an idea.

"Am I crazy? Yeah, probably." He went to the ledge closest to the other side of the ravine, then took a running start and jumping just as the dogs were about to turn him into a Blythe-burger. Zakk landed on the other side, face first on the dirt. He had a bloody nose, but felt it was well worth it when he heard the dogs fall down into the ravine and stop fucking YAPPING!

"Yes! One fucking point for me!" He cheered himself.

The bell went off.

Bunifa Latifa Halifa Sharifa Karifa - The Screaming Gladiators

Bunifa hated herself for her fear, but she just couldn't help it. Moths. Those ugly, flying little... ugh!

So naturally, she was taken into a big, damp room filled with moths.

"Okay, just spend ten minutes in here and you're done!" The intern, Dakota, said.

Bunifa didn't want to spend ten minutes with... with... THE EVIL FLYING BUGS OF HELL.

One of the moths landed on her leopard print shirt. She shrieked, slapping at it, her eyes huge.

"I CAN'T DO THIS!" She screamed, running out of the moth-filled room with moths all over her clothes.

The bell did not go off.

Confessional:

"That was embarrassing." -Bunifa Latifa Halifa Sharifa Karifa, The Screaming Gladiators

Alan - The Killer Barbarians

Alan knew what his fear was, and deep down, he knew that Blaineley knew it too. But he could just keep praying that, for this once, Blaineley would be a stupid blonde...

But of course not. Because waiting for him was... a bee nest.

"Oh, crud..." He was frozen, literally. he couldn't move. And it didn't help that the intern was instructed to toss honey on him, which she did.

The bees saw the honey. They saw who was covered in honey. This wouldn't end well...

"HELP ME!" Alan screamed, running away in pure terror as the bees zoomed towards him.

The bell did not go off.

Bailey - The Killer Barbarians

Bailey groaned as she got nearer and nearer to her fear, eyeing her scars as she got closer. She still hated to think off the way she had gotten the scars, by being stupid and sticking her hands into the paper shredder.

And here, in front of her, was a paper shredder. How did Blaineley even know what their fears were anyway? Did she sic Sierra on them all or something, and have her stalk them all?

She was sent into Chef's office, which also doubled as his bedroom and coffee-making room. Bailey had seen some pretty big paper shredders before, but this one was HUGE.

"What do I have to do to... win?" Said Bailey tentatively.

"Just turn it on and shred some paper, that's all." Said the intern kindly. Bailey nodded, not that thrilled but at the same time determined to kick that paper shredder's butt!

So Bailey did just as the intern instructed, waiting for the sharp sting of her hands cut up again. But this time, it didn't come.

"Yes! I did it!" Bailey said happily.

The bell went off.

Confessional:

"I would like to take this moment to say... HA! IN YOUR FACE, PAPER SHREDDER!" -Bailey, The Killer Barbarians

Christoph - The Killer Barbarians

Christoph hated this challenge, so far. He'd seen Final Destination, and ever since, he hated the invention of the sunbed, the very bane of his existance!

So he was taken to Blaineley's personal tanning room ("Do you think this beautiful tan comes naturally?") where a sunbed was waiting for him. He wanted to cry as he remembered how those poor girls met their shriveled up, burnt end...

No, he couldn't think of that right now. That was just a silly little movie... Oh God, they were going to make him go IN it?

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO! Please, don't make me! Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, PLEASE!" Christoph pleaded, getting down on his hands and knees and thoroughly startling the intern.

"Fine, fine! But you lose your challenge!" Snapped the intern, his shock going to irritation.

"Yes! Let me be eliminated! But don't let me go in there!" Christoph thanked him.

The bell did not go off.

Briana - The Screaming Gladiators

Briana didn't like being left alone in big, heavily wooded places... alone, but she could handle it! She was the girl, might she add, that was having the game wrapped around her manicured finger nails!

But she still didn't like it when the intern left her all by herself. In this forest. Alone... oh God...

"I'm fine! I don't need anyone! You just need yourself, Briana." The girl calmed herself. "And it's only for an hour... just relax..."

The thought of the million kept her going, but she was still scared. She hated being alone.

When her hour was up, she cheered herself, and ran back to camp, happy to be done with it.

The bell went off.

Calvin - The Screaming Gladiators

Calvin shivered as he and the intern entered what was, quite literally, a freezer. And inside it were...

"PENGUINS!" Calvin yelled, about to turn and scram but instead slipping on some ice and falling right in front of the penguin.

"Quack?" The penguin made a sound that just terrified Calvin further. (1)

"GO AWAY!" Calvin screamed at it. The intern sighed.

"If you hug the penguin, you win your challenge." She said.

"Oh... really?" Calvin braced himself for his sure moment of doom and wrapped his arms around the penguin.

"Quack?"

Calvin opened his eyes reluctantly. "I'm alive...? I'M ALIVE!" He then proceeded to leave with his head held high and a bounce in his step.

The bell went off.

Jaydee - The Killer Barbarians

Jaydee had changed into her swimsuit, a black bikini with red spider web patterns, and was at the edge of Blaineley's personal pool.

"I... don't know..." Said Jaydee reluctanty, gulping. "I just..."

"Come on!" Said the intern, flapping her arms. "Chicken or something?" The intern just didn't like JJ.

"Hey! I'll show you!" Said Jaydee furiously, forgetting her fear to dive into the water. An audible splash was heard as she swam around.

"See! I'm not a chicken!" She yelled at the intern, who looked pleased with herself.

The bell went off.

Confessional:

"Ha! Take that, Toby! I so swam and lived to tell the tale!" -Jaydee, The Killer Barbarians

Chase - The Screaming Gladiators

Chase was led to a large stage, where the cast members of Total Drama Dirtbags (excluding Alejandro), a few random people, and some of the crew were seated.

I have to say

A speech in

Front of all

Of these p-

eople?

He wrote. The intern nodded. "You have to say it, you can't write it." The intern said, a glimmer of sympathy in his eyes.

Chase thought for a minute. He wanted to win... but he just wasn't ready to talk yet.

I'm sorry team

But I can't do

It.

The bell did not go off.

Leola - The Killer Barbarians

The last challenge of the day was Leola, who had been led into a fairly sized room that was covered - literally covered - in paintings that looked like they were staring at her.

There were pictures on the walls, on the windows, even on the floor and ceilings...

Leola shivered. This was creepy.

"So, intern, what do I have to do to win?" She managed to ask.

"All you have to do is count all of the pictures in this room. And you win!" Said the intern.

Leola nodded, beginning to count.

One painting that was staring at her (she could do this)...

Two paintings that were staring at her (this was easy)...

Three paintings that were staring at her (okay, scratch easy)...

Four paintings that were staring at her (did she say easy? She meant horribly hard)...

Five paintings that were staring at her (AUGH! SHE COULDN'T DO THIS!)

Leola gave up, running out the door and shaking off her horrible feeling of being watched.

With All Of The Teams

"Today, the winner is the Screaming Gladiators!" Said Blaineley cheerfully. She turned to the Killer Barbarians. "Barbarians, time for you to vote someone off."

The Gladiators cheered on their good fortune. The Barbarians groaned. Two eliminations in a row!

The Elimination Bonfire

"Tonight," Blaineley began, with the Screaming Gladiators watching and the Killer Barbarians having cast in their votes, "I have to say that, I'm disappointed! I was really hoping you Barbarians could bounce back! Sadly, no."

"I'm not complaining." Zakk muttered to Samantha and Rosalind.

"I have nine glasses of lemonade on my tray. Tonight, one of you will leave the flock on the Boat of Losers...

Adam...

Wolfgang...

Richard...

Angie...

Delia...

Bailey...

Jaydee...

Leola...

And the last glass goes to..."

Christoph was praying hard. Alan looked at the floor in shame.

"Christoph, you're safe. Alan Brooks, it's your turn to ride the Boat of Losers."

Christoph frowned apolegetically to Alan, who, again, hung his head in shame as he began his trek to the Boat of Losers.

"Wow, that was some drama! Will we have an Aftermath? With Zakk admit to Samantha he likes her? Will Wolfgang and Angie get together? Find out next time on Total... Drama... Blainerific!"

.~.~.~.~.~.~.

That took longer than I thought it would. xP If your character has been eliminated (Jacky and Alan), don't worry! They will show up in the Aftermath Show, which is coming soon!
