It's finally here! Our secret agents Sam and Snake are ready to kick off TDE2's super-awesome accompaniment!
So strap in. This is the Total Drama Everything 2 Aftermath Show!
There will be no song for this first Aftermath, but there will be one next time.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
An intern was waiting outside a dressing-room door, knocking it several times. "Sam, it's almost time."
"I'm almost ready," came a voice from behind the door.
The intern sighed and walked to the other side of the hall, where a similar door was. He knocked it and said, "Snake, are you done?"
"Just about."
Right after that, Snake walked through the door, and a young woman of around college age with red hair and a green jumpsuit exited across from him at the same time.
"I think it's time we get this started, Sam," Snake said.
"Totally."
The intern led them down the hall. "I can't believe Chris asked us to do this," Sam said.
"To be honest, I really thought he would keep Geoff and Bridgette for this job," Snake responded.
"Hey, it's $5,000 per show, so maybe this won't be so bad."
They both finally came to a large red curtain. Behind it, loud cheering could be heard. "SAM AND SNAKE! SAM AND SNAKE!"
"This is it," Sam said. "You ready, Snake?"
"If you are."
And, still smiling and holding hands, they walked through the curtain.
*theme song*
The entire crowd exploded as Total Drama Everything's It couple walked onto the stage, which had gone through major renovations since its last use. Now it was a stunning purple, with the matching curtains bearing the TDE2 logo. In the middle of the stage was a single sofa for the two hosts. To the right of the sofa were two other sofas, and three sofas on the left side of the stage. It looked quite magnificent. Sam and Snake waved at the crowd as the walked to the middle, in front of the single sofa.
"Hello, Total Drama Fans!" Sam cheered.
Snake added, "And welcome to…"
They said the next part at the same time. "THE TOTAL DRAMA EVERYTHING 2 AFTERMATH SHOW!"
"I'm Sam."
"And I'm Snake."
"You guys ready for this?" Sam asked the crowd.
The crowd cheered enthusiastically.
"For those of you who don't know much about the Aftermath, or don't remember the Action and World Tour variations," Snake explained, "it's where we go over a few things from the past few episodes, hang out with previously eliminated competitors, and even show some bonus content. So do you guys think we can outdo Aftermath legends Geoff and Bridgette in their own game?"
"Doubt it," Sam stated. "Like you said, they're legends."
"Oh? You don't think we can do the job?"
That got a laugh from the crowd. "Well, wish us luck," Snake told them all. That got another cheer.
Once the cheer died down, Sam said, "Why do I feel like I've forgotten something?"
"I can't put my finger on it either," Snake added. "What is it we're also supposed to do on this show?"
They stood there for a few seconds, trying to figure it out, until they heard a familiar voice behind them.
"You didn't seriously forget us, did ya?"
The crowd saw this and pointed behind the spies, who smiled. "Now I remember," Sam said.
"Everyone from last season is here too!" Snake announced. And he faced the group that had just arrived on the stage.
Among the group was a muscular blond man with an ascot, a man with a long red jacket, a woman with a long purple dress, a weird plane/bird/palm tree creature, a young woman with long black hair and a kimono, a man with an orange gi and spiky hair, a woman made out of candy, an old man with a criminal air around him, a tall man with blue/red/yellow spandex with an S on it, and a large ogre (who was the one who had spoken). The entire crowd cheered when they saw the group.
"It's true, everybody," Sam announced. "Fred, Dante, Zelda, Coco, Maya, Goku, Princess Bubblegum, Stan, Superman, and Shrek are also going to be here. Say hi to the crowd, guys."
Most of the group waved appreciatively, while Dante just rolled his eyes. "Whatever."
"Don't be like that," Snake told him. "Come on."
Dante just sighed and told the crowd, ":Hello. I'm Dante. And I really don't want to be here." He faced the spies again. "There. Happy?"
Sam shook her head in disbelief. "So guys, how have you been since last season ended?"
"Tourism at the Mystery Shack has skyrocketed!" Stan exclaimed.
"Coco?" Coco asked.
"No, not really. But I've gained a fair amount of popularity back at Gravity Falls. Don't you remember the time I introduced you guys to Dipper and Mabel?"
Snake nodded. "That was nice of you to do so."
"Things have been going swell," Goku stated. "Though Vegeta was pretty mad when he found out about my elimination. He was all like, 'How could you have lost to all of those idiots, Kakarot? I could have beaten that game twice, and you had to go and lose before the merge'. Yeah, it was like that."
A few people in the crowd laughed, as did those on stage.
"Superman, I know it's not you that Ivy is particularly associated with, but how do you feel about her being on the show?" Sam asked.
"Nervous. That's what. She's already messed with two eliminations. Three if you count Snake's. Yeah, nervous."
For Superman to be nervous was a pretty big deal. So this brought on a silence.
"Well," Snake asked, trying to break the silence, "I can understand that. Dante, what about you?"
"I've actually been asked to help out in a future challenge, so I hope everyone watches out for that."
That piqued the crowd's interest. "Details! Details!"
"Sorry. No spoilers."
"Awwww."
The crowd died down again, and Sam told them all," And in today's Aftermath, we have Cynder, Ash/Pikachu, Rarity, and Po here to have a chat with us about their experiences on the show. We'll even be showing some audition tapes from some of the competitors, new or old. To get you interested, here's Connie's audition tape."
Snake pulled a lever, and a television screen lowered for the crowd to see.
(Connie's audition tape, submitted by MrTempleguy)
(Connie is wielding a sword while standing next to Steven.)
Connie: Hello everyone! My name is Connie! I think I should be accepted for Total Drama Everything because I am nice and-
(A wild gem monster is in the background, and starts fighting them both. Connie then throws her sword at its gem and destroys it.)
Steven: And she can do that! Please accept her into your show!
*end*
The screen retracted again, and the crowd applauded.
"Yeah, that's what Connie sent to the show," Sam said. "And she was considered a decent addition to the show."
"And despite her early exit last season, she's still on the plane and has proven to be a decent member of the Mysterious Moons," Snake finished.
The crowd cheered again, and the screen came back down. "It's almost time to bring out our first two guests," Snake said. "Let's see how they're doing."
The screen went static for a few seconds before showing Cynder and Ash sitting on the couch, looking bored.
"There really doesn't seem to be much to do in here, is there?" Cynder asked.
"I don't think so."
"Pika."
Cynder looked at Pikachu for a second. "Just what is that yellow rat thing supposed to be?"
Ash was about to answer when an intern came in. "It's time, you two."
"Finally," Cynder sighed.
"Come on, Pikachu. Let's do this."
"Pipa Pi."
The screen retracted again, and everyone looked to the left side of the stage.
"Let's introduce our first two guests," Sam said. "Our first guest was the shocking second elimination of the season. She's a cool-sounding dragon and former brainwashed slave to an evil dragon sorceror. Please welcome...Cynder!"
The dragon walked onto the stage and waved appreciatively at the crowd before sitting on the left side.
"And the second guest is a Pokemon trainer who travels around with his best friend. From second eliminated last season to runner-up, and the third eliminated this season, adding to a list of major events he has never won, it's Ash, along with Pikachu!"
Ash and Pikachu waved excitedly at everyone, especially the former competitors. "Hi guys!"
"Pika!"
After sitting down behind Cynder, the two stopped waving.
"Cynder, Ash, Pikachu, welcome to the show," Sam told the group.
"Thanks for having us," Ash said.
"So guys, do you think this is way better than being on the plane?" Snake asked.
Cynder nodded. "I can fly. I don't need a plane. So I really didn't see a point of being in one. Besides, Chef's cooking is terrible."
"No, if he were any better, he would be terrible," Bubblegum added.
"I disagree," Shrek stated. "His food isn't that bad."
Dante scoffed, "Says the ogre who eats rats."
"Can we get back to the task at hand, guys?" Sam told them. "Ash? What about you?"
"Absolutely. We weren't allowed to shock anything on the plane. And after we left, we were able to do some more training."
Everyone nodded. "Well, I wonder," Sam said. "Have you guys caught up on the rest of the show so far?"
Ash, Pikachu, and Cynder nodded. "We've caught up on everything so far," Ash said.
"And what moment has been the most shocking for you guys?" Snake asked. "No pun intended, Pikachu."
Ash and Cynder looked at each other and said at the same time, "Nom Nom's backstory."
Just about everyone on stage and in the crowd expressed their agreement. "Yes! Oh my God!"
"I think everyone here agrees with you guys," Snake said. "Soon after the Louisiana challenge, we interviewed a few people who knew Nom Nom, including a trio of weird bear brothers, and the info we got pretty much confirms everything he said to Yusei that night."
Fred added, "And I thought I had seen it all, considering how far people will go to keep a secret, as I had learned numerous times. But Louisiana really surprised me. I didn't know Nom Nom that well, but I knew he was bad news. So yeah. Surprised."
"Well, I would love to discuss this more, but we need to keep this going," Sam stated. "Ash, I assume you've learned the reason for your elimination. Anything you want to say about that?"
"Only that I wish I hadn't been fooled by Ivy like that. She absolutely duped us. And didn't she just eliminate Po? I'm a little scared about what else she has planned."
Superman nodded. "Join the club."
"One more question," Snake asked. "Is there anyone left on the show that you guys want to win?"
Cynder stated, "I'm hoping to see either Sonic or Ruby win. I had always favored speed a bit, so it's only natural that I wish them luck."
"As the only two anime characters left, I would have to say both Yusei and Moka," Ash said. "Besides, Yusei and I are friends now, especially given the mine fiasco. And Moka's pretty cool, and I can't say anything bad about her."
"Well, before we bring in our next two guests, we've got another audition tape," Sam announced. "This one was from our plant villain Ivy."
The screen lowered again to show Ivy's audition tape.
(Poison Ivy's audition tape, submitted by MasterSaixus)
Poison Ivy: Harley, could you please try and hold that camera still for 10 seconds.
Harley Quinn: Sorry Red. Normally I'm on the other side of this thing with Mister J.
Poison Ivy: Yes yes whatever. Just record me already.
Harley Quinn: I already am.
Poison Ivy: (sigh) Of course you are. (Cough) Well, hello there. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Poison Ivy and i would like to compete in Total Drama Everything 2 for a change to see the world and make some new friends.
Harley Quinn: Wait, I thought you said you wanted to compete in this thing so that you could get a million bucks.
Poison Ivy: Shut up, Harley. Your cameraman also does not normally talk when he's recording you and Joker, now is he?
Harley Quinn: Actually we normally just grab whoever is around and force them to hold the camera. They're normally quiet, but sometimes, they keep begging to go home. Go figure.
Poison Ivy: (sigh) Why didn't I simply do that. Anyway, so ends my audition tape and I sincerely hope you'll let me in this show. ... You done recording?
Harley Quinn: I think so.
Poison Ivy: Ugh, finally. Now let's hope that second rate TV-host won't be smart enough to know that letting an escaped convict on to this show will be anything but a good idea.
Harley Quinn: Oh wait! Now it's done recording ... I think.
Poison Ivy: Oh for the love of. Give me that camera.
Harley Quinn: Sorry, Red. It's mine now. (Harley runs away with the camera.)
Poison Ivy: Hey get back here with that! (Ivy jumps on one of her vines and uses it go after Harley.)
*end*
"Was it a good idea to let an escaped eco-terrorist on this show?" Sam asked as the screen retracted back.
"This show's already added Deadpool," Snake replied.
"Good point."
Snake checked his watch. "Looks like it's time to bring out Rarity and Po, everybody!" This got another cheer from the crowd.
"Let's see what they're doing at this second," Sam said as she brought the screen back down.
After a couple seconds of static, the screen showed Rarity in front of a mirror, apparently in a state of panic.
"One split end in my mane!" she exclaimed to Po. "I can't go out there like this!"
"Don't worry," Po said. "I'm sure no one's going to notice."
"I'll notice! I'll know there's one there and….oh fooey."
She and Po had just realized they were being shown on the screen. Rarity did a facepalm (or facehoof?) and Po just sighed. "Sorry, Rarity. If you want to wait until the split end is taken care of-"
"No. They already know. I'll just tough it out."
"Then we had better move it."
However, before they could get on the stage, Po went to the snack table for one more giant chocolate chip cookie.
"What?" he asked with his mouth full.
The screen retracted back, and Sam quickly stopped laughing. "Okay, let's introduce our next two guests," she announced.
"She's a unicorn with an on point taste for fashion and glamour," Snake said. "Eliminated due to a teammate's scheme gone wrong, it's Rarity!"
Rarity walked onto the stage and waved at the crowd, while trying to fix her mane at the same time.
"And he's a giant panda and a furrier, more kick-butt version of Owen," Sam announced. "Despite his elimination due to another competitor turning his stomach against him, he has a good heart and a mind filled with kung fu and bean buns. Please welcome….Po!"
Po ran onto the stage, but then he tripped on Rarity's hoof and rolled to the center, bumping into the table.
"Sorry," Rarity quickly said.
"It's fine." They both went to sit down.
After straightening out the table, Snake asked, "How are you two doing?"
"Besides this bothersome split end, I'm great," Rarity said, still fidgeting with her hair.
"I get to eat all the food I want here!" Po yelled. "Especially since I found several new kinds of food. When we were in Rome, I caught a glimpse of a type of noodles covered in tomato sauce, and Japan gave me their own type of noodles. My dad owns a noodle shop, and he's in noodle heaven right now. Thanks to that, his business has skyrocketed."
Sam nodded. "I'm really glad to hear that," she said. "Looks like things have been going well for you."
"Out of curiosity," Snake asked, "what was your friends' reaction when they found out about the elimination?"
"Shifu told me not to worry about it. He and I both knew I didn't enter this for the money, but for the fun. Monkey, Viper, Crane, and Mantis were a little bummed I lost, but they're not too bummed. Tigress, however, wants to find Ivy and give her a piece of her mind."
Fred stifled a laugh. "Is it weird that I kinda want to see that?" he asked the others. "A tiger beating up Ivy?"
:You're not the only one," said Maya.
"Who else wants to see Tigress beating up Ivy?" Snake asked the crowd, as well as everyone on stage.
And just about everyone raised their hands. Except Po.
"I don't want to see someone beat up just because they're responsible for getting me kicked off," Po said. He turned to the camera. "Tigress, please don't do it!"
"Can we change the subject now?" Snake asked. "Rarity, have you figured out what happened in Paris?"
Rarity nodded. "And I don't blame Mandy. She only meant to eliminate Gaz, not me. Gaz just managed to turn the tables and fix the outfit, something I wasn't able to do with her original one. I may be able to find the perfect outfit for any person on any occasion, but even I have limitations."
"And what was, in your opinions, the most surprising moment so far?" Sam asked.
"I admit the quicksand thing was a shock," Rarity said, "but I would have to give it to Amy Rose sneaking on the show to be with her obsession. That was something I didn't see coming."
Po shrugged. "I still give it to the quicksand."
"So Rarity has a completely different opinion from the rest of us?" Cynder asked. "So much for it being unanimous."
"Okay, Shrek," Dante said. "Pay up."
Shrek sighed as he gave Dante five dollars. "I should have known there would be one person who would disagree," the ogre said.
"Wait, how come we haven't had to talk about that necklace?" Zelda asked. "The one Yusei and Lammy found in Egypt?"
Sam nodded. "Yeah, ever since those two found that necklace, things have gone topsy-turvy for them. Our first sign of trouble was when Lammy, who would almost never laugh when something weird happened to her friends, definitely cackled when Yusei had to go Ancient Roman for a day."
"Why did he have to tear up that perfectly good toga?!" Rarity wailed.
"Just be thankful you were able to see the Deadpool-dragon chase because of that toga," Cynder said. "Unlike Snake and I, who are stuck with video recaps for the rest of our lives. A glorious chase scene. Gone."
"Don't forget the rest of us," Stan said.
Sam nodded. "Back to the necklace, the second obvious sign of trouble was when Lammy revealed she can't take it off. That's when most of us came to the conclusion that it's not an ordinary necklace."
"And just recently…." Snake lowered the screen again, and it showed footage of when Lammy knocked out Deadpool during the challenge.
"As you can see, right before she hit him, the necklace starts to give off a faint red glow," Sam explained. "She says this is just sunlight reflecting off it, but the real trouble is that she can't even remember the incident."
The crowd watched the incident a few times on the screen before they retracted it again.
"And if all of this is true," Ash asked, "why won't she let Yusei help her with it?"
"She claims to be hoping to spare him the worry," Bubblegum replied. "I think there's more to it than that."
Snake nodded. "None of us know what this necklace really is, or what it's doing to Lammy, but I hope she and Yusei can get through this. Because of that necklace, their relationship has been a little rocky."
"Let's hope things between the two will be just fine," Sam added.
"One more question for Rarity and Po," Snake said. "Who do you guys want to win?"
"Despite what happened, I want Gaz to win," Rarity said. "Anyone who can turn certain defeat into a fashion stunner earns my respect."
"And I say Sonic," Po said. "That guy is the bomb!"
A few people nodded in agreement. "Well, we still have one more audition tape to show you guys," Snake announced. "Deadpool's audition tape. Does anyone feel as scared as I do about watching this?"
Everyone nodded.
"Then let's get it over with," Sam said as the screen turned back on.
(Deadpool's audition tape, submitted by Vegetalucard)
(We see a luxurious room decorated with several weapons. The camera pans to Deadpool sitting in a fancy chair.)
Deadpool: Hello there, my name is Deadpool. Now I know TheMasterKat has a high bias of me, so I'll probably wind up on the show anyway. But in fair sport, I've decided it would be best to at least audition. So without further ado, the top ten reasons I should be on Total Drama Everything!
(A series of clips play by of different people with Deadpool clearly dubbing them.)
10. Captain America: Well glory, glory hallelujah, Deadpool really star spangles my banner, I tell ya what!
9. Thor: Never have my eyes laid on a warrior as glorious as thee. (Deadpool clearly photoshops in a tear and a transparent image of himself.)
8. Snake: Hey Otacon, you know who's awesome? Deadpool
Otacon: I heard he can eat 12,000,000 chimichangas in a minute.
7. Lex Luthor: Deadpool has the most magnificent buttocks in the world! I am very smart so take what I say as fact!
6. Wolverine: Listen here bub, Deadpool saved my ass in the Congo and I will defend his name until I die!
5. Hulk: Hulk want Deadpool's babies!
4. Clearly Deadpool behind a chair wearing a suit: This is the President of the U.S.A., and if Deadpool's not in TDE, TheMasterKat will be wanted for war crimes.
3. Same thing except wearing a dress and holding scepter: This is the Queen of England, and everything he said will also apply here.
2. Reed Richards: Deadpool is amazing. I've decided to make our suits red and black with Deadpool symbols on them instead of a four, he's that great. Except my wife, She'll wear a red bikini.
(It stops as we are now looking at Deadpool.)
Deadpool: And the number one reason I should be on this show is...(drum roll as Deadpool calms down)... I am love, and I am life. And unlike a certain green ogre, I don't break into little boys rooms and do things to them and finish with a bad pun.
*end*
The screen retracted back, and just about everyone was either silent or softly giggling. And the most shocked were Snake, Shrek, and Superman. All three were silent, and they all looked embarrassed. Snake shook his head in disbelief, Superman kept looking back at where the screen was, and Shrek facepalmed.
"Why did they have ta make that stupid video?" he asked. Then he looked right at Fred. "And why did people here have ta watch it?"
"I said I was sorry," Fred stated. "Oh, and don't you think perhaps you may have overreacted? Because of you, I had to go buy Velma a new laptop."
Sam called over to their side of the stage. "Guys, just chill out."
"I think that was the absolute worst Lex impression I have ever seen," Superman said.
Snake nodded. "Otacon and I do not talk like that."
And more silence.
"Well, uh, looks like that's all the time we have," Sam said. "We hope you enjoyed this first Aftermath, and we can't wait for the next one."
"We're going to have the next four eliminated competitors here," Snake said. "And give a round of applause for our peanut gallery as well as Cynder, Ash and Pikachu, Rarity, and Po!"
The audience clapped.
"And don't forget to tune in to the next episode of Total Drama Everything 2!" Sam announced.
Then they both said, "See you guys next time!"
And the audience gave them a standing ovation as the show ended.
(Later…)
Snake fished through the collection of audition tapes until they found Deadpool's. Then he brought it over to Superman and Shrek. Superman then burnt the tape with his heat vision and Shrek took the remains and threw them into an incinerator.
"Gentleman, let's never speak of this video again," Snake told them both.
"Agreed."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
And the first Aftermath is done.
This may have been on the simple side, but you don't have much to work with when you've only eliminated five people so far. However, considering my plans for the next few chapters, you'll see some more drama in the next Aftermath than in this one. So far in this season, the real drama hasn't even started yet.
And I should point out a few things about Deadpool, considering his audition tape noted a high bias. That may be a little true, but I have two things to point out. One, he was not my personal choice last season, and I hadn't even considered the possibility of anyone suggesting him. And two, while the real me is a huge fan of Deadpool, the story me is still working on that restraining order.
And his audition tape was priceless! Thanks Vegetalucard!
Cynder, Ash/Pikachu, Rarity, and Po, as well as everyone from last season, chatted about several things that have happened so far, from Mandy's scheme gone wrong to Lammy's necklace. Sam and Snake hosted it beautifully.
For the next Aftermath, you may continue to send in audition tapes, and you're even going to be allowed to ask questions to the eliminated competitors. However, I request two certain audition tapes. Yusei's audition tape, and Lammy's audition tape. As the next few chapters roll by, you'll see why I need these. I understand not many of you know these two characters that much outside the story, so I'll take care of it if I don't get either audition tape.
I'm sure many of you have already guessed, but next challenge is in New York City! Everyone is excited to be going to this metropolis, but clouds are brooming. Two people find their problems almost impossible to fix. One person sets out to sabotage another with the help of some blackmail. But even with all of these stirring up trouble, they're all nothing compared to one competitor's shocking decision, which will hit one person harder than all the rest.
So remember to read and review, fav and follow, give me challenge ideas and suggestions, send in audition tapes, good-luck messages, and questions.
And I'll see you next time. Until then, enjoy Thanksgiving and stuff yourselves with turkey and pumpkin pie.
TheMasterKat out!
