Episode 8 Part 1: New Zealand
The Boat of Losers sailed through the murky waters of the New Zealand night. The five contestants, three cameramen, and Izzy traveled to their next location. The smoke cleared, and Camp Tikitere lay in front of them.
"There it is..." Beth whimpered.
"Yep." Cody gulped.
"Home Sweet Home." Zed muttered.
"Cheer up!" Izzy said enthusiastically, "This final challenge will be the most exciting of them all!"
"I'm scared of the dark!" Ted whined.
"It's alright. We're almost there." Jed conforted the dimwitted cameraman.
"Stuck on a boat with these idiots..." Noah thought to himself, "It's like they invented this show just to torture me..." [1]
The boat pulled up to the Dock of Shame and everyone disembarked.
"We're here!" Izzy announced, "Camp Tikitere!"
"Izzy, the three of us need to get back to headquarters." Jed said on behalf of his fellow cameramen.
"Yeah, we need to lay low for a while." Zed added.
"Whatever floats your boat!" Izzy replied, sending the three away.
"What's our challenge?" Tyler asked, quieter than usual.
"This challenge is three fold." Izzy said, "In other words, you'll have to complete two out of three missions to succeed."
"What's the first part?" Katie asked.
"You'll have to set random time bombs in various spots around the island." Izzy explained, "I'll assist you this time around. Also, we have to make sure Chris doesn't discover we're here, or all our work will be for nothing!"
"I don't like the sound of this..." Cody blanched.
"Relax, everything will be fine!" Izzy assured the group, "Anyways, the points we have to set the bombs are located on this map. We have five hours starting... now!"
Katie snatched the map from Izzy and read it. "It seems like our first location is... right here?" The BFFFL looked at the map in confusion.
"Affirmative Katie!" Izzy cried, pulling a circular object from behind her back. The small, red object sprouted claws from the bottom and Izzy planted it in the ground. "One down, nine to go!" she proclaimed.
"Sweet!" Tyler cheered. He took the map from Katie and searched for the next location. "If I'm reading this right, our next point is twenty paces north!"
Cody pulled out a compass from his pocket and opened it up. "North is this way." he said, "Let's go!" The rest of the team followed him. When they arrived at the location, Izzy shook her head.
"We're wrong?" Tyler asked, "I could've sworn..." He opened the map while Noah looked over his shoulder.
"You have it upside down." the bookworm pointed out, "Next time, let someone who knows how to read maps be the navigator."
"That'd be you?" Katie asked, rolling her eyes.
"Precisely." Noah replied with a smile.
"It's no big deal." Beth said, "All we have to do is go back to where we started and head twenty paces in the opposite direction."
The company ran until they reached the correct location. Izzy smiled and planted the second bomb.
"This is pretty easy!" Cody said, "Fifteen minutes in and we already have two bombs planted! This'll be no sweat!"
In the epitome of irony, it was a sweat. The five exhausted competitors trailed behind Izzy, who was just as hyper as ever.
"It's been two hours and we haven't found a single bomb location!" Kate whined.
"Number three's right here!" Izzy informed the group. She planted a bomb on that very spot.
"Seven to go and our time's half up." Cody said, "I don't like our chances!"
"In that case, we just have to work harder!" Izzy declared, "Let's move, double time!"
The six contestants ran to find another location.
Oh Good, Another Montage! (sigh)
The fourth location was near a waterfall. After placing the bomb, Izzy demanded that the group jump off the waterfall. Everyone hesitantly agreed, except Noah that is. Unfortunately for him, Izzy grabbed him and jumped off the waterfall with him.
After swimming a short distance downstream, the contestants arrived at their next location. Izzy planted the bomb and they moved on.
At the shoreline, the contestants placed a bomb in the sand.
End Montage
"Alright, that's four to go..." Beth recalled, "Izzy, how much time do we have left?"
"We have thirty minutes!" Izzy replied.
"Where's our next location?" Tyler asked.
"It's..." Noah said, looking at the map, "Oh crap..."
"Huh?" Cody asked, taking the map. "It's underwater. I don't see anything bad with that!"
"Who knows what horrible creatures Chris has in store there?" Noah groaned. "I wouldn't be surprised if someone loses a limb by the end of this."
"I dunno about you guys, but I'm going in!" Izzy said, jumping in the water.
"Ah, what the heck?" Tyler said, taking off his shirt and jumping in the water.
"What's the use?" Noah said, "It'll be impossible to plant four more bombs in thirty minutes."
"Izzy's done stranger things before." Cody said.
"Good point." Katie said, jumping in the water with Cody.
"Well, it's just you and me." Noah said to Beth, "You still have the map?"
"I thought you had it." Beth replied.
"If neither of us has the map, then... Oh great!" Noah face palmed.
"What's up?" Beth asked.
"One of the four people in the water has the map!" Noah groaned, "It's all soggy by now!"
The four people in the water rose to the surface.
"Found anything yet?" Tyler asked.
"Nope, but all we need to do is check the..." Cody pulled the soggy map out of his pocket, "Whoops!"
Mission Failed
Katie, Cody, and Tyler took a moment to dry off while Izzy explained the situation to Noah and Beth.
"That's one failure so far, but that's alright! All you need to do is complete the next two missions to get the money!" Izzy told them.
"And our next mission would be...?" Noah asked.
"Recently, Courtney was eliminated and escaped the police." Izzy explained, "She's somewhere on this island, so the next mission is to find her!"
"She left us to compete on Total Drama Action!" Tyler said, joining the group, "Why should we save her?"
"Who knows what that poor girl's been going through?" Katie said, "We have to find her before it's too late!"
"She's done some pretty nasty things in the past, but I think we should rescue her." Cody added. He heard a rustle in the bushes. "What was that?"
"Oh no!" Beth cried, "We've been discovered!"
The six turned toward the bushes and out stepped a masculine silhouette.
Footnotes
[1] - The irony in this statement is that the sole reason I conceived this story was to give Noah a role in Almost! Total Drama Action.
Closing
That ends part 1 of the finale. After I update part 1 of the other show's finale, I'll come back here to complete the second and final part of this story's finale.
Truth be told, I didn't really like writing this story, and I'm excited to can it once and for all. There probably won't be a spin off like this in season three unless I have someone else write it, and I don't want to place that burden on someone.
How will this cliffhanger end? Keep reading and find out!
