"Last time, on Total Drama Nation, we met our twenty two international travelers and they were split up into two teams, the Killer Tourists and the Visa Slayers. However, when they reached their cabins, they realized that they were missing one crucial thing in their rooms: their beds. The two teams than competed in a series of duels over the lake to win beds and immunity. In the end, it came down to Ash and Amy to break the tie, and, with a little push from Kelvin, Amy managed to 'slide' her team into victory, leaving Ash without a bed to sleep in. Luckily for her, she never had to find out how that feels. Unfortunately, that was because she ended up the first contestant eliminated of the season. What new challenge do we have in store for the today? Will our contestants be able to work together? And who will be the next loser to walk the Dock of Shame? Find out today, on Total! Drama! Nations!" Chris said from the Dock of Shame cheerfully.
*theme song*
All of Camp Wawanakwa seemed peaceful as the campers were all sleeping in there cabins. That peace was only broken by a piercing scream coming from the Visa Slayers cabin, immediately waking up everybody nearby. "G-G-G-G-G-Get a-a-a-a-a-away Em-Em-Emerald! G-G-Go s-s-s-s-s-s-sleep wi-wi-wi-with Vic-Vic-Victoria!" Amy told the cat laying in her bed, cowering in fear until Victoria came to collect Emerald.
"Sorry about that Amy. Guess she likes you," Victoria said cheerfully, taking Emerald back to her bed.
Confessional: Amy: Gr-Gr-Great. T-T-T-The o-o-o-o-o-only t-t-t-t-t-thin I-I-I-I'm af-af-af-afraid o-o-o-o-of l-l-l-l-likes m-m-m-m-m-me. E-E-Except t-t-t-t-the da-da-da-dark. A-A-A-A-And si-si-si-singing i-i-i-i-in pu-pu-pu-public. O-O-Or s-s-s-s-s-s-singing i-i-i-i-i-in t-t-t-t-t-the d-d-d-d-d-d-dark t-t-t-t-t-to a cr-cr-cr-cr-crowd o-o-o-o-o-o-of c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-cats.
"Now that you've woken everybody up, is there anything you want to say Amy?" Thunder asked wearily, climbing down from her bed.
"Um...I-I-I'm re-re-re-re-really sor-sor-sor-sorry," Amy said, pulling her hat down to hide herself.
"Forget it. We would have had to wake up eventually," Neveah said with a yawn.
"That doesn't mean she should wake us all up," Harley said, jumping out of her bed. "You think anybody else heard her?"
"You think there's anyone who didn't hear her?" Sharina asked, looking out the window to see the Killer Tourists beginning to wake up, some of them already heading out of their cabin. "Nope, everybody's waking up."
"S-S-S-Should I-I-I g-g-g-go ap-ap-ap-apologize?" Amy asked nervously.
"You already apologized to us. They're the enemy, so you don't need to apologize to them," Thunder said. "Anyway, enough of that. We should probably start getting ready."
There was a general amount of grumbling coming from the Killer Tourists. It was bad enough that they had lost the first challenge, but it didn't make things any better to have been woken up by Amy's screaming. "They did that on purpose. They're trying to ruin our chances of winning today," Natalia said bitterly, glaring as the Visa Slayers began heading out of their cabin.
"You're being paranoid. I'm sure it wasn't supposed to wake us up," Alex told her, stretching lazily. "Besides, we're going to win today. I'm sure that losing Ash won't affect our chances."
"Having her around didn't help us either. Remember that?" Natalia reminded Alex with a long yawn.
"Alex is right. It's a new day, with a new challenge and a new chance to win, and I won't allow you guys to waste that chance. As your captain, I promise you all that we're going to win today," Pat said, surprisingly energetic despite the early awakening.
"Yeah!" Cariy agreed enthusiastically. "It was all Ash's fault we lost anyway! Without her around, we should do fine!"
"I guess you guys are right," Chantal said with a smile, trying her best not to fall asleep.
"Drop it already. Talking about winning won't help us win. We just have to work," Boris said with a sigh.
Confessional: Daniella: Okay, Boris and Natalia's negative attitudes are really starting to bug me. Boris: I know none of them like me, but I really don't care. As long as I don't lose a challenge for us, I'm not going anywhere.
"Attention campers! Unfortunately, as all of you have already been woken up by Amy's screams of terror over a little cat, I missed out on the chance to disrupt your sleep myself. Anyway, all campers please report to the beach to prepare for your next challenge right now!" Chris announced.
"Campers, your second challenge of the season will be a relay race through out the island. The course begins here at the beach, where each team will choose somebody to start off the race by swimming through the shark infes-" Chris began once all the campers where gathered, stopping when Victoria began playing her concertina.
"Just ignore me! I need to practice! Just keep going!" Victoria said cheerfully, continuing to play happily.
"Alright, fine" Chris continued, Victoria playing louder and louder as he spoke, forcing him to begin screaming. "As I was saying, your first racer will swim through the shark infested waters of the lake to the base of the cliff. Once there, they will hand their baton to the next member of their team, who will than climb up the mountain's face until they reach the top. From there, THEY'LL THAN HEAD HALFWAY DOWN THE MOUNTAIN AND HAND THE BATON TO THE NEXT MEMBER OF YOUR TEAM, WHO-" Chris shouted just as Victoria stopped playing.
"Relax Chris. We can hear you just fine," Neveah said laughing.
"ANYWAY, the next member of your team, will take it the rest of the way down to a team of two people that will use a box of spare parts to construct something that can get them to the final part of the race. After that, the remaining members of your team will run through our state of the art obstacle course. Whichever team makes it to the obstacle course and has all members of their team touch the end of the dock wins. You've all got an hour to choose who does what and to get in place," Chris finished up cheerfully.
"I-I-I-I th-th-th-think I s-s-s-s-should st-st-st-st-start," Amy told Thunder hopefully.
"You sure you can handle yourself out there? We don't want any sharks eating you," Thunder replied, not sure if Amy would be fast enough to out swim sharks.
"I-I-I-I-I-I'll b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-be fi-fi-fi-fi-fi-fine," Amy said, sounding hurt that Thunder didn't believe her.
"Okay than. Harley, you and Sharina can take the fourth leg, right?" Thunder asked, still having some doubts about Amy's abilities but decided arguing about it would be a waste of time.
"I could do it myself if you'd let me," Harley said confidently. "You have any experience with building cars or anything else, Sharina?"
"Yeah, I guess so," Sharina answered.
Confessional: Sharina: Okay, maybe I've never built a car from scratch. Or anything else really. But I've fixed up plenty of old cars. How different could it be?
"What about me? I have a plan!" Casey said, thinking of ways to help his team win again.
"If I say you can start off the third leg, do you promise to shut up?" Thunder asked, offering out of irritation more than anything else.
"Okay!" Casey said, running off to the cliff before anybody could say anything, laughing evilly all the way there.
"There is something seriously wrong with that kid," Kelvin said as he watched Casey.
"That's why I'm finishing up the third leg for him. Eyrik, you're good at climbing, right?" Thunder asked, looking at Eyrik, who simply nodded. "Good. You're our rock climber. Everybody else, you're going to be running the obstacle course."
"Cool," Axel said, leading the other contestants to the obstacle course, except for Kelvin who was reluctant to do what Thunder said.
"Why the hell am I going through the obstacle course? That scrawny coward girl is probably going to make us lose all on her own!" Kelvin shouted at Thunder angrily, nearly causing another fight between them until Neveah came back to pull him to the obstacle course.
"Come on Eld. The sooner we get there, the sooner we can end all this," Neveah said, trying to prevent more fighting.
"Let me go damn it! I can take her on my own!" Kelvin shouted, trying to get out of Neveah's grip.
Confessional: Kelvin: F****** tomboy! F****** idiot captain! What the hell is she thinking putting me last? Thunder: Of course Kelvin could probably do better somewhere else, but he's doing the obstacle course for two reasons. One, Amy doesn't look like she could get through it fast enough for us to win. Two, I hate him. Simple as that. Casey: *evil laughter* Perfect! With all the extra time, I set up some things to help us win! Evil will prevail once again!
"Okay than, Tan and Will, I want to talk to you guys separately. Everybody else discuss among yourselves who should run which leg," Pat said, gesturing to an area of the beach farther away from the rest of the team to talk to Tan and William.
"This is about the alliance, right?" William asked nervously, remembering their conversation last night.
"Of course. You two have given it some thought, haven't you?" Pat asked them.
"Yeah. I'm in," Tan said with a smile.
"And I guess I'll be in too," William said as well.
"Perfect. Than it's settled. Tan, you're swimming the first leg and William will be doing the first part of the third leg while I do the second part. Tan, you keep the rest of the team under control while I head to the mountain to get some work done," Pat said with a victorious smile.
Confessional: Tan: I'm not too sure about an alliance, especially not if it ends up like one of Heather's alliances, but Pat seems like a pretty nice guy. I'm sure that he won't be like that. William: An alliance seems like a really good idea. It'll keep all three of us safe. At least until the final three. I wonder how we'll decide who wins? Pat: Perfect. Those two fell for my little nice guy act just like everybody else and now I have allies. This is going to be easier than I thought.
"Now that, everybody is in place, you two can get started. Any questions?" Chris asked Tan and Amy, both getting ready to begin the race.
"I have one Chris. We haven't gotten our batons yet. Where are we supposed to get them?" Tan asked curiously.
"I was hoping you'd ask that. Your batons have been placed in treasure chests at the bottom of the lake. It's your job to dive down there and retrieve them for your team. If you can do it, all the better for you. If you can't...well, I'm sure the sharks are pretty hungry right about now," Chris said with a cruel laugh.
"Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-You're j-j-j-j-j-joking, r-r-r-r-r-right?" Amy asked, trembling violently.
"N-N-N-N-N-Nope! Now get going!" Chris said, pushing Amy into the lake, Tan diving in after her quickly.
It only took a few seconds for the sharks to begin chasing after Amy, leaving Tan free to go look for his treasure chest. He passed by various things on the bottom of the lakes, including a large octopus that nearly grabbed him, until he finally found the two treasure chests side by side. Taking the first one he could reach, he immediately began trying to open it, but it became clear very quickly that the chest had been locked tight. Looking around for anything that could be used as a key, he saw a glint of light off of metal farther up. It didn't take long for him to realize that it was the key, and it took even less time to see that it was tied to the tail of one of the sharks.
Amy, having been dealing with the sharks for much longer than Tan, had already noticed the key tied to the tails of two sharks. It didn't take a genius to realize that she would need the key at one point or another. The problem was actually getting the key off the shark without getting horribly mauled. She saw Tan approaching the sharks from behind while they were distracted with chasing her. What was even worse was that he already had a treasure chest in hand. She could go try to lead the sharks after him, but that would mean actually swimming towards them and that idea never occurred to her. The only thing she could do was keep swimming and hope the sharks tired out before she did. Behind her, Tan had already managed to take the key from the shark and was opening his chest. Satisfied with the success, he quickly pulled out his baton and swam back up. As soon as he resurfaced, he began swimming as fast as he could towards the cliff, where Daniella was waiting for him. "Here," Tan said, handing the baton to Daniella just as Amy resurfaced, sharks still chasing after her.
"S-S-S-S-Stop, s-s-s-stop, STOP!" Amy shouted at them nervously, making her way to Eyrik while Daniella began climbing. "C-C-C-C-Catch!" Amy shouted, throwing the baton to Eyrik when she was close enough. Eyrik caught it expertly and quickly began climbing.
At the top of the cliff, William and Casey were watching the two of them climb. "Okay! Time to start my plan!" Casey announced cheerfully, taking a bag off his back and pulling several water balloons out of it, along with a small remote control. The first thing he did was press a button on the remote, setting off an explosion on the cliff near Daniella.
Confessional:
Casey: *evil laughter* Never underestimate the power of evil!
William: It's official. Casey is completely insane. Should I be this close to him?
Casey continued pressing buttons on his remotes, setting off various explosions on the cliff face. By now, they were going off around Eyrik as well, though if it was troubling him, he didn't show it. Before long, he had already run out of explosives and began throwing the balloons over the side, where they erupted in muddy explosions whenever they made contact. By the time Daniella made it to the top, her face and clothes were completely coated in mud. "Um...Are you okay?" William asked nervously as the baton was forced into his hands.
"He won't be," Daniella said, grabbing Casey, kneeing him in the chest, and throwing him over her shoulders.
Confessional:
Daniella: What? I'm a black belt in karate and he got me mad. I'm in the right.
"Um...Right. I'm just going to start running now," William said fearfully, running down the mountain as fast as he could. A few seconds later, Eyrikcaught up with Daniella, just as coated in mud as she was, and gave the baton to the still dizzy Casey.
"Okay. I'll get going," Casey said, heading towards the edge of the cliff before Eyrik turned him around. Instead of running after William, Casey walked along at a leisurely pace, confident that he could get ahead without overexerting himself. Sure enough, he heard the sounds of William struggling a few feet away from him and went to investigate it. He found William caught in a giant net that had been set up by Casey. "Take that! That's punishment for what you're partner did to me!" he said, throwing rocks at William cheerfully before heading off towards Thunder.
"Hey! Come back! You can't just leave me up here!" William called after Casey desperately, trying to get out of the net as soon as possible.
Down by the base of the mountain, Natalia and Boris were working to get something built that they could use before Pat got there. At the moment, they had a few wheels and a steering wheel, but both of them refused to work together with each other. "You guys having some problems over there?" Harley called mockingly, already sitting on the motorcycle she and Sharina had finished.
"Shut up," Natalia said, trying to get something made.
"You want us to come help you guys out?" Sharina asked laughing.
"Shut up!" Natalia shouted back, trying her best to drown the two of them out.
"You know it's a lot easier if you work together," Harley told them both.
"Shut the hell up already! I don't need his help or anybody elses!" Natalia shouted, finally getting pissed off.
"Stop arguing and get back to work already!" Boris screamed at Natalia angrily.
Confessional:
Natalia: What the hell was Pat thinking making me do this? With him?
Boris: At this rate, we'll be lucky if we can even make a toy car. Looks like we're losing again.
Harley: This is in the bag! As soon as Thunder gets back, me and Sharina can head to the obstacle course and win this for the Visas again!
Thunder was scanning the mountain above her for any sign of Casey. Pat had left her alone a while ago to go search for William on his own. That idea seemed stupid to her, especially if Will came here while Pat was looking. The thought was barely out of her head when she saw Casey walking leisurely towards her. "Where have you been? We can't take our time on this race you idiot!" Thunder shouted at him, snatching the baton out of his hands.
"Relax. We can take our time. I made sure that the enemy can't do anything! There third guy is properly restrained!" Casey said confidently as Thunder ran off.
"Okay. No rush. You can take your time. That's what he said, right?" Thunder said, considering slowing down before remembering who had told her that. Thinking that Casey had absolutely no idea what he was talking about, she immediately picked up her speed. She didn't stop running until she fell into a freshly dug hole that had been covered with a thin covering of leaves to disguise it until she stepped on it. "Who the hell dug a hole on this mountain?" she screamed angrily, trying to climb her way out unsuccessfully.
After about five minutes of yelling herself hoarse, Thunder finally heard somebody approaching. "Casey? That you?" Thunder called, only to see a green haired head look into the hole.
"Look at that. My trap caught us something William," Pat said with a smile, tossing the baton from hand to hand.
"When did you have the time to dig this?" William asked, gazing in curiously.
"It was no different from digging a hole to plant seeds. Just bigger," Pat said, handing William a shovel and a walkie-talkie. "When I call you on that, let her out. Not a second before. Understand?"
"You got it captain," William said happily.
Confessional:
William: Pat's really serious about this alliance thing. He found me tied up and helped me get out. It's the least I can do to make sure Thunder stays in there.
Pat: That trap I set up? Most people would see it from a mile away. But Thunder doesn't pay attention very well, now does she?
Back on the beach, Harley and Sharina were starting to get bored waiting for Thunder while Natalia and Boris had each managed to make a amateur bicycle. Neither of them looked like they would last very long, but considering they only had to ride it a short distance, it didn't really matter to either of them. "What's taking him so long?" Natalia asked impatiently, watching the nearby cliff for any signs of Pat's return. She wasn't waiting for much longer before Pat came back down to join them, tossing the baton to Natalia.
"Don't rush yourself. Something tells me that we have more than enough time," Pat said with a smile as Natalia got on the bike she'd made quickly. As she got on, it shook threateningly, but otherwise stayed in one piece. Not wanting to break it before she actually made it to the rest of her time, she decided to ride slower than she would have liked. Not that it mattered, especially if Pat was right about them having time.
Pat watched Natalia head towards the obstacle course with a grin. The longer she took, the longer he could keep Thunder in that hole. He had planned to let her out when Natalia and Boris got to the obstacle course. No reason to let her out anytime sooner than that anyway. As soon as he saw Natalia reach the obstacle course, he pulled a walkie-talkie out of his pocket and told William to let Thunder out now. She couldn't do anything about their lead now anyway.
"Took you long enough," Alex said as Natalia got to them, the bike collapsing just as she got there.
"You really came here on that piece of junk? You guys really should take some lessons from Harley," Neveah said laughing.
"It got us here before you guys, didn't it?" Natalia said angrily, forcing the baton into Alex's hand. "You're going through first, understand?"
Alex turned to look at the obstacle course that had been built on the Dock of Shame. The first part of the course was a bed of hot coals for the campers to run across, followed by a series of cannons that fired out cannonball sized water balloons instead of regular cannonballs for legal reason. The final part of the course was a series of swinging (plastic) guillotine blades to the end of the dock. Farther off, Amy was still trying to swim away from sharks that seemed to be unable to pay attention to anything else. "C-C-C-C-C-Come o-o-o-o-o-on! F-F-F-F-F-Fish ta-ta-ta-ta-taste be-be-better th-th-th-th-th-than m-m-m-m-m-me! Ch-Ch-Ch-Chase t-t-t-t-them!" Amy called to the sharks desperately.
"Um...Maybe we should let somebody else go first," Alex said hesitantly before Natalia pushed him onto the course forcefully. All thoughts of going back the way he had come left Alex's mind and were quickly replaced by searing pain as he fell face first onto the hot coals. Screaming in pain, Alex ran across the coals desperately until he began getting hit with water balloons, nearly knocking him off the dock as he ran. He finally managed to reach the final part of the obstacle course staggering and just barely managed to avoid getting knocked off by the guillotines until he was on the very edge of the dock. From pain more than anything else, he dove into the water in the hope that it would ease the pain from his fall. As he did, the sharks chasing Amy decided to give up on chasing her an instead focused their attentions on Alex.
"T-T-Thanks A-A-A-A-Alex!" Amy called as Alex tried to swim away from the sharks as fast as he could, screaming fearfully as he swam.
Confessional:
Amy: Th-Th-That w-w-w-w-w-was re-re-re-really n-n-n-n-nice o-o-o-o-o-of A-A-A-Alex.
Alex: Was I trying to lure sharks away from her? No. Am I sorry that I helped save her? I can't really say I am. She seems like a pretty nice girl, even if she's on the other team. But I am NEVER going to be that close to sharks again! No matter who's in danger!
By the time Harley and Sharina made it to the obstacle course, almost every member of the Killer Tourists had made it through except for Nathaniel. "Damn it!" Harley shouted angrily, already seeing that there was no chance of the Visa Slayers winning the challenge.
"Relax Harley. We can still get through this if we go through fast enough," Sharina said desperately as Axel began heading through the obstacle course. Nathaniel on the other hand simply watched him run through as Chris arrived to join them.
"Hey...Chris...We...just...need...to...reach...the...other...side...right?" Nathaniel asked slowly and wearily.
"Just gotta touch the other side of the dock bro," Chris told him cheerfully. "Better pick it up Visas! You're falling behind!"
"Quit just standing there! Move!" Natalia yelled at Nathaniel as Axel finished up the obstacle course and Neveah ran through. With a sigh, Nathaniel waded into the lake instead of the dock, swam around to the end of the dock and tapped it lazily. "You idiot! You're going to make us lo-"
"And the winners are the Killer Tourists!" Chris announced, cutting Natalia off.
"What?" Everyone of the campers asked, completely stunned at his decision.
"What the hell are you talking about? He just swam around the whole thing! That's cheating, isn't it?" Neaveah asked furiously.
"Sorry, but he touched the end of the dock. Didn't have to go through the course if he didn't want to," Chris said cheerfully. "Killer Tourists, you can spend the rest of the day enjoying your first victory of the season. Visa Slayers, you all decide who you're voting out tonight."
And there you go. This ending was chosen just because it made it laugh that a team would win because of something like that and it seemed like the sort of thing Chris would do. That and my randomizer said that the Killer Tourists win this challenge so that's what they did. Anyway, Visa Slayers, send in your votes for elimination tonight! I should probably point out something that I didn't last time, but please try to vote as your character actually would, not just for someone you don't like. In other words, if your character is friends or in an alliance with another character, they wouldn't be voting for them without a good reason. With that said, enjoy this chapter and as usual, send in any suggestions you have for anything and any advice about how I'm portraying your characters. This was also my longest chapter yet at almost 5,000 words! Hooray for that!
