Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't posted any updates lately! However, now that school is just about over, I should have more time to bang these out, but I thought that I'd provide you guys with this preview! Enjoy and the full story should be coming soon!
It was 9:00 in the morning at Camp Remanier. The campers had just finished eating breakfast, and were now going about their activities. The remaining members of the Ballers were throwing a frisbee around. Meanwhile, Ezekiel was off shooting arrows at bulls-eyes he had carved into trees, Lindsay was putting on make-up, Katie and Sadie were gossiping about guys, Justin was rolling back and forth on the Dock of Shame, still in his wheelchair, Heather was sitting on the steps of the girls' side of the cabin, glaring at everybody, and Beth and Bridgette were back in their beds, trying to sleep. Cody oddly was still gone.
Everyone was confident that they wouldn't be having a challenge that day, but their dreams were crushed when Chris came over the intercom. "All fresh meat, please report to the campfire circle!" he boomed, eliciting cries of anger. Everybody arrived at the campfire circle, looking upset. "Greetings, campers!" said Chris. "I was really hoping we weren't gonna have a challenge today," moaned Justin. "I'm still in my freakin' wheelchair, dude!" "I know," said Chris, "That's why I decided to have a challenge. Heh heh. Now then. The merge is slowly approaching, campers, so now would be a good time start figuring out who you can and can't trust!" "Is that a segue?" asked Duncan, who was whittling a piece of wood. "SPEAKING of trust…" Chris began. "Called it," muttered Duncan.
"Speaking of trust," said Chris, "Today's challenge is a mix of the challenge from episode 6 and the challenge from episode 10! Now, get your butts down to the Dock of Shame for us to take a little ride, and I'll explain the rest when we get there." The campers all shuffled down to the Dock of Shame, except for Lindsay and DJ, who looked around, then snuck behind the boys' cabin. There, they met a large silhouetted figure.
"How's it going?" asked the figure. "Good, so far," said DJ. "Heather doesn't suspect a thing." "Good, and let's keep it that way," replied the figure. "We're playing a very dangerous game, and if Heather OR her stupid skinny stooge Harold find out about it, we're done. All of us."
*CONFESSIONAL BEGINS*
Heather: Lindsay started off the season with the potential to be a threat, what with that serum that made her smarter. But since then it seems like it's worn off, since she's more moronic than ever now.
Duncan: Heather doesn't seem to realize that she's no longer the big dog on Total Drama. She thinks she can still manipulate me. She may have Harold wrapped around her finger, but I'm waiting for the day when she drops her betrayal on me, just so I can show her how well I, or I suppose I should say, my friends and I, out-gambited her.
Owen: (Farts) Hee hee hee hee hee.
*CONFESSIONAL ENDS*
The contestants were down at the dock, Lindsay and DJ ran up to the dock, the last ones to arrive, and the Boat of Losers departed. "Well," said Chris, "Now that we're all present and accounted for…" "Uh, except Cody," interjected Beth, "Are we just gonna forget he's gone? Disappeared? AWOL?" "Pfft, I don't give a shit," sneered Chris. "ANYways. You all have seen Total Drama Pahkitew Island, right?" An outpouring of "Nope!"s and "No frickin' way!"s came from the campers. "Great!" said Chris cheerfully.
"I'm glad you all enjoyed it so much. Unfortunately, the Canadian government wasn't so much a fan of it. Particularly, the island. Apparently it's "inhumane" or something to force teenagers onto an island with killer robots, but what do those guys know? Unfortunately, the choices were abandon the island or face a judge for child endangerment, so I HAD to abandon the place. Ugh, stupid lawmen." "Yeah," said Beth, rolling her eyes, "How dare they try and enforce the law?"
"The POINT," said Chris, "Is that we're taking a field trip back to Pahkitew Island! Your challenge today is to participate in a set of trust exercises! However, since we've gotta fit in another homage to a previous challenge, while you're heading through your exercise, you'll be faced with your worst fear! You'll have to trust your partner completely to get you through it!"
"Now then. I'll partner you up with someone else from your team! Tyler and Duncan, you two are partners!" The two boys looked at each other, grinned, and high-fived. "Izzy and Owen, you two-" Chris was interrupted by the noise of the two sucking face. "Uh, alright then. And finally, DJ and Harold, you two are the last partner for the Ballers!" The tall, glasses-wearing boy and the short, glasses-wearing boy looked at each other awkwardly.
*CONFESSIONAL BEGINS*
Harold: I dunno, DJ's been acting weird lately. He's been hanging out around Lindsay and they've been sneaking off to talk. I wonder if they're on to me and Heather… Nah, Lindsay's too stupid.
DJ: I don't think Harold's onto me and Lindsay yet. And if I tiptoe carefully around the subject we'll keep it that way.
Heather: I know that Lindsay and DJ are planning something. Harold had better be VERY careful about what he does. Wait… maybe if they lose, then I'll get a chance to get them out of here… I hate this to my very core but I might have to have Harold pull a Scott and throw the challenge…
*CONFESSIONAL ENDS*
"Now," continued Chris, "For the Rejects! Katie and Sadie, of course you two are a pair!" The two squealed loudly. "Heather… and Lindsay! Ooh, this should be inte-" Immediately the two girls started screaming at Chris. "CHRIS I DON'T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH THIS IS NOT GOING TO WORK!" shouted Lindsay. "FOR ONCE I AGREE WITH THIS STUPID BROAD!" shouted Heather. "SWITCH US NOW OR WE WON'T STOP BITCHING!"
"Alright, jeez," said Chris, covering his ears. "Heather, I'm putting you with Bridgette, and Lindsay, you're with Ezekiel." The girls glared at each other and went to stand by their respective partners. "That leaves Justin and Beth! The two most useless contestants right now!" "HEY!" said Justin.
Just then, the Boat of Losers began to slow down. There was some fog ahead. However, Chris pushed a button on a remote control he held in his hand and the fog instantly cleared. When it did, the contestants looked out and saw the run-down, abandoned Pahkitew Island.
"Now, Pahkitew Island was controlled by a main computer," said Chris. "Everything, down to the weather, the animals, and the plant life. Now, we've made a few adjustments to the island." The Boat of Losers pulled up to the Dock on Pahkitew Island. The contestants got out and walked past the run-down Cannon of Shame. They came to a large TV screen on the other end of the Dock. Chef Hatchet was standing next to it. "Chef has been here all morning, prepping the challenge. Isn't that right, Chef?" said Chris. "Oh, you kids are gon' LOVE it," Chef grinned.
"But first," said Chris, "To decide whose fear we're using, decide which one of you will be calling the shots among your duos and which will actually be competing!" The contestants argued amongst themselves but eventually it was decided: Tyler, Izzy, and DJ would compete for the Ballers, and Sadie, Bridgette, Beth, and Lindsay would be competing for the Rejects.
Chris looked through his smartphone and pulled up the worst fears of the campers who would be competing. "Let's see here," he said, "Tyler - chickens, Izzy - the RCMP, DJ - Snakes, Sadie - Being without Katie, Bridgette - being alone in the woods, Beth - worms, and Lindsay - bad haircuts. Alright!" Chris looked up. "Those of you doing fieldwork, you'll be heading out into the Pahkitew wilderness. Chef's in the control room and he'll be doing everything he can to make you chicken out. If you chicken out, fine, but you stand a greater chance for sending your team to elimination, since the team with the least amount of chickens wins immunity."
"What are the partners for?" asked Beth. "I WAS GETTING TO THAT!" exclaimed Chris. "The people in the field will have constant communication with their partner to try and get them through their worst fear. If the person in the field chickens out, both partners are done. Person back here, your job is to talk your partner through their fear, try not to get them to chicken out. Got it?"
Everybody nodded. "Good," said Chris. He giggled. "This should be a fun one to watch." He raised his air-horn and blew it. "AND, GO!"
