Reply time, on schedule (ha sike).
Space Zodiac- as much as people were unsure of Iris at the beginning, a lot of people were sad of her departure. It reminded me a lot of Norm's return.
Li'lNuggets- Quaoar won't have his revenge just yet, but it's in the works.
Candela Monsoon- No leader? We'll see how they handle it without one.
Epifanio Therion- Quaoar had a lot of influence on her. More will be revealed in the aftermath.
And now, what do we see below?
Episode 10: Torpedo Tangle
Chris is back, in the control room with Chef. "Last time, on Total Drama Submerged, we took a trip to Switzerland!"
"We took a trip, not you," Chef clarified.
"My award show went great, thanks for asking," Chris said. "We visited a top chemistry lab, only to cure some mutants of diseases." Clips showed Sheldon effortlessly solving the issue, and Norm uncovering the genetic tester. "While we were there, Sheldon gave a showstopping number about he's the best. Wonder how that's gonna sit with his teammates, heh heh." The next clip was Sheldon's song. "Finally, we revealed that Angie and Gretchen's sisterly bond, was actually, a sisterly bond. Like, they're related." The next clips were the two mentioned girls finding out the news, and Norm running various tests. "In the end, we lost Team IDK's leader, Sebastian, for, well, being Sebastian, and Iris, for her mental instability within the past couple episodes. Who is next to go? Will it be the sisters? The exes? The soon to be daters? Find out here on Total! Drama! Suuuuubmeeeeerged!"
"I never told you how much I hate that singin'," Chef told Chris.
"Hey!"
Opening Sequence
{The intro music plays as multiple camera pop out from random places. The first emerges from the ceiling in the control room, a second from a bowl of fruit, and a third one from a escape hatch.}
Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doing fine
{The camera quickly goes through the Super Sub until it hits the sleeping chambers. It moves out the window until it reaches Gretchen, barely swimming underwater. Meanwhile, Juan is pressed up against the wall, trying to avoid Hannah. Juan is unable to escape. Sybil stands on the side and smiles evilly.}
You guys are on my mind
{Ethan and Quaoar both have dueling sticks, but they appear to be evenly matched. Brook shoves Quaoar into water below him, while Ethan passes his dueling stick to Mag, who throws it at Jonathan. Jonathan also falls into water.}
You asked me what I wanted to be
{The camera zooms to the mess hall, where Chef throws food at Damien and Ezekiel. Iris walks over to them, holding one of Quaoar's swords. She makes a threat to the two boys and walks off.}
And I think the answer is plain to see
{Norm sits in his bed as Sheldon begins blabbing off to him. Norm has zoned him out and begins thinking about other things. Luna growls at him in the back, while Adrian overlooks this, laughing.
I wanna be famous
{Flora, Lavender, and Mackenzie are looking at fish out the window. Paul walks over and taps Flora on the shoulder. She gets up and hugs Paul.}
I wanna live close to the sun
{Eden pokes her head out as she watches Juan and Sebastian form some sort of deal. She scowls}
Go pack your bags, cause I've already won
{Kara pokes at an escape pod near some benches. One of them shoots off, startling the girl.}
Everything to prove, nothing in my way
{Aaron and Sebastian are seen arguing in front of their team. Meanwhile, Eden in looking for something.}
I'll get there one day
{Ezekiel is now seen with Ethan, who is teaching him something.}
Cause I wanna be, famous
{Kayla writes on a white board while Sheldon observes. Basic social manners can be seen on the board.}
Na na na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na na
{Madison walks away from Sybil, who was being weird. She grabs a dueling stick to face off with Hannah.}
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!
{Sets of two face off similar to the season five intro. Ethan and Jonathan, Eden and Marty, Madison and Hannah, Quaoar and Iris, Angie and Paul, Therion and Adrian are all facing off.}
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!
{In the center of them all, Chander is seen spinning fire. He sends one though the middle.}
Whistling- I wanna be famous
{The mess hall zooms out to see all thirty contestants. In the middle, Jonathan has flowers for Kayla, who walks away from it.}
Luna got out of bed sneakily, and went to go and enter the dark room to meditate. She forced Norm to agree to speak. When she opened the door, she encountered a much different surprise. She fell out and into the water. "What the- ah!"
The screams woke up her team. "How do you expect us to sleep if- what? Where are we?" Kayla was full of questions.
Sheldon got up and inspected the area. "This...is our normal sleeping quarters. However, we appear to be unhinged from, well, everyone else."
"Everyone?" Ethan asked. "So, by chance, where would, I don't know, Team Fire be?"
"I was thinking the same thing," Luna said, still in the water. They all looked at her. "I need answers, and Norm has them." They all just stared. "Just, pull me back in."
"Hey, guys!" a voice called out. "We're over here!"
"Lavender?" Someone else called, likely Flora. "We're here!"
Kayla grabbed Sheldon. "We can't see them. Get us a better look." She threw Sheldon on the top of their quarters.
"Ah!" he cried out. "There's a ladder, you buffoon!"
Eventually, all the teams gathered on the top of their team's sleeping areas, so they could see each other better. "Hello, strandees," Chris said in a boat nearby. "Did you like your little trip?"
"Where are we, I demand we know," Adrian asked sternly.
"Can't you see?" Angie complained. "We're in the middle of the ocean. He probably broke the sub putting a hot tub in."
Chris frowned. "For the record, my hot tub got in the sub just fine. Also, this is today's challenge location!"
"This is the middle of the ocean," Kayla said in agreement.
Chris showed them a large-scale GPS. "Actually, we are in the Caribbean Sea, and if you look that way, you'll see a tiny island."
Angie rolled her eyes. "Middle of the ocean."
"Whatever," Chris said in anger. "Your challenge, is a torpedo battle! All your sleeping areas double as small weapon facilities, because we installed those last night."
"As I should have expected," Norm snarked.
Chris continued. "Your facilities are also armored up, and Chef and I will track your health on the sides, because legal made us."
Adrian: "Glad to see someone's looking out for us on this pitiful metal death trap," he complained.
"Use your weapons in the facility to defend yourself and deplete the health of your opponents. Last team standing wins." He blew the horn. "Go!" Everyone proceeded to duck down into their areas.
"Ok," Marty said. "We need a plan. We can't afford to lose again."
Quaoar shook his head. "Good. I might as well take charge then, because all of you wouldn't know teamwork if it stabbed you in the chest!"
Marty: He grinned. "Someone's a bit touchy from the votes last challenge," he said. "What did I do, except of course, tell Brook to do it." He laughed. "She's so easy to trick..."
"We'll let you take center stage for this one," Adrian told Quaoar, "but if you lose, you know the consequences."
Quaoar nodded. "You should all know your consequences as well."
"Excellent!" Sheldon said. "I have experience handling this kind of high-damage artillery."
Ethan nodded slowly. "This kid's got everything," he said. "What kind of team voted him off first?"
"Now's not the time for fighting, hero wannabe," Kayla griped. "We have a challenge to win."
Ethan nodded. "Exactly. Let's get the newbie teams first. They'll be easier."
"Perhaps, but maybe you just don't want to make a team with Madison or Norm on it lose," Luna pointed out.
Ethan shook his head. "Winning will always be my priority. Take out I Don't Know first."
"We need a solid strategy," Lavender told them. "I say we ally with Team Friendship until the vet teams are gone. We have Mag, and she's tight with some of them."
"No I'm not," she countered, "but I'll pretend I am." They all felt a giant shake on their area. "We're hit," she said. "We need to defend for now."
Mackenzie checked the control panel. "Health down to seventy-five percent."
"We only get four hits?" Mag asked. "That's a load. We need to stay out of the way."
"Or," Aaron proposed, "we get right in it. Get between two ships, then steer out of the way at the last minute."
Lavender grimaced. "It's...risky, but it could work."
Aaron grabbed the steering wheel. "We're doing it!" He steered right in between the two veteran team pods. "Now, we wait," he said. Almost instantly, he saw a shot from either side of him. "Backward we go," he said, pulling it back. Both torpedoes sped past them, hitting the other two ships. "Awesome!"
"Wow," Mackenzie said, "you're really good at driving that."
Aaron blushed. "Oh, that's nothing. I've driven worse than that."
Mag groaned. "Flirt later! That worked, so do it again!" She stopped. "Um, where's Eden?"
Mag: "No one's focused, except for Lavender," Mag said. "Eden's useful, for now. I plan to take charge until we can find some solid ground to stand on."
Flora turned to her team. "Stop attacking!" she said. "Can't we...wait it out?"
Angie grabbed the steering wheel. "We could, but that would be stupid. We need to win, I actually like all of you."
Ding-Dong
She growled. "I don't like that, however."
"I do!" Chris said on an intercom. "Team Fire, this one's all you!"
"Please," Flora warned. "Everyone sing."
Musical Time!
Song: No safety (To the tune of "Sea Shanty.")
{The song opens up with an accordion, accompanied by a hard rock beat.}
We're fighting for our lives this time Chris has put us to war! Angie started.
Gretchen picked up the next line. I know we're sisters now but I don't know what is in store. She did a happy jig as Angie rolled her eyes.
Norm deadpanned as he sang the next line. I kind of like this challenge, since Luna's far away!
Madison put her hands up. Watch out, Norm, the intercom hears all you have to say! Luna's now trademark hiss was heard through the intercom.
It's a sea shanty, but we have no safety, Flora sung out. "Guys! Incoming!" She shouted. Angie nodded, steering away from the torpedo. They watched as it hit a different ship.
The scene cut to Quaoar in front of his team. The pod shook another time. We are down to two lives and you hardly bat an eye!
Marty yawned. Tough luck, you're mad, your girl was nuts, she told Luna to die!
The scene moved to Sheldon. This challenge is for babies, it's better than the last!
Speak for yourself, we've got one life, our win streak's in the past! Hannah complained. She grabbed hold of the steering wheel, much to Sheldon's dismay.
The scene moved back to Team Fire, with Flora again. It's a sea shanty, but we have no safety, she sang.
Adrian finished it off. Their pod shook again. Looks like we lost, so much for our safety.
Therion looked at their screen. "Another elimination," he said. "Sorry Quaoar, I'm not sure there's much we can do."
Marty: "Not much they can do is right," Marty said. "But, Quaoar might still be of use. I have someone else that I am finished with."
"Team Friendship has taken another loss!" Chris announced. "Who's gonna be joining them on the chopping block?"
"Not us," Aaron called out to his team. "One more time, let's do this!" he swerved backward, and torpedoes fired off.
A voice came through the speakers. "Do you really think we would be that foolish?" the voice said, clearly belonging to Sheldon.
Norm's voice sounded too. "Yeah, you fooled us once, but that won't work again."
"Eden's gonna pay when she gets here," Mag said. "She hasn't been here all challenge." They heard a shake. "What was that?"
Mackenzie checked the status screen. "It looks like Team Fire is down to one life, Alpha too. We're winning!"
"But, how?" Lavender asked. "We haven't fired anything yet."
Another voice came on the speakers. "Yo!" Angie called out. "Whoever planted that explosion, that was a pretty cheap trick!"
Team I Don't Know stood in shock. "So, how did this happen?" Aaron asked.
Eden came up through the top at that point. "Move," she said. She walked over to the intercom. "Cheap, you say?" she responded to Angie. "It's called tactics, look it up."
"Cheap," Angie responded.
Eden laughed. "Perhaps that's something a simpleton like yourself could never hope to comprehend."
"A...simpleton?" Angie asked.
Another voice came on to the speakers. "Simpleton," Sheldon said. "Noun, referring to a foolish or gullible person."
Team I Don't Know looked at the screen. "Team Fire has...disconnected," Lavender said slowly. Eden laughed.
Eden: "While I was pulling off that amazing stunt," she explained, "I also did some digging. Those puny girls couldn't get the confessionals from the third season, but a locked box is no match for me." She laughed. "Now I know the evildoers, and who I can really trust."
"I'm so angry!" Angie said. She grabbed a steering wheel. "Let's crash them!"
Norm stood up. "Easy there. First of all, we'll all die, including her," he said, pointing to Gretchen. Gretchen gave a goofy wave at her. "Second," he continued. "That's what Eden wanted. We need to lay low."
"...Fine," Angie said. She sighed. "Sorry about that."
"It's fine," Madison assured her. "However, we may want to consider finding cover in the open ocean."
Madison: "Who's idea was it for Chris to put us in the open ocean?" she asked. "Where are we going next, Atlantis?"
Kayla looked out a window. "We're clear from everyone. I say we wait here."
"Someone has to take action," Ethan argued. He grabbed hold of the steering wheel. "Team Fire is weak, we need to attack them."
Luna stood up. "Isn't that the opposite of what you said before?"
Ethan sighed. "Do we have a choice? We need to win." He fired a torpedo. "Let's see what we can get out of this."
The torpedo sped across the ocean. Team Fire noticed it. "There's one coming!" Gretchen warned. They all took positions and tried dodging it. After a couple quick maneuvers, their pod was hit. "How did that hit us?" she asked.
Sheldon: "Heat seeking torpedoes? Never heard of them?" He laughed. "If you want something done right, you do it yourself."
The pods all began to move up to the surface. They began moving over to the hub in the middle, which is where they reconnected to the submarine. "Team I Don't Know wins today's challenge!" Chris announced.
"We won!" Lavender said. "Alright!"
"Yes!" Aaron said. He pulled Mackenzie into a hug. They didn't resist. Eden looked over at them, then looked at Mag. Mag made a signal to her, and Eden responded with a nod.
"Wait a minute," Hannah complained. "Sheldon delivered the final blow! We should have won!"
Chris nodded. "He did, but, Team I Don't Know had two lives left. You all had one." Team Alpha sighed. "Say goodbye to your win streak." He turned to Team Friendship. "We have a date with an escape pod soon. Team Fire, you might want to be there too."
Quaoar knocked on a door, holding a note. "Come in," a voice answered from inside the door. Quaoar opened it up, and saw a bunch of people sitting in a circle. He saw Sheldon, Ethan, Kayla, Norm, Angie, Brook, Therion, Madison, Lavender, and Mag. Standing in front of all of them was Eden. "Sit," she said, "You're the last one here, so we can begin."
"Excellent," Kayla griped. She gestured to the room. "Would you mind telling us why we are gathered in this hippie circle?" She drew a few snickers from around her.
Eden hardly moved. "I'm proposing the biggest alliance in total drama history. I have traced down the villains, the real bad people here, and we need to get rid of them."
Madison spoke up. "Would you mind, you know, telling us who these people are?"
Eden nodded. "Therion?"
Therion got up. "During today's challenge, Eden secured confessional tapes, and I have been studying my own team for as long as I can remember being here." He started to play clips of Marty's confessionals. No sound was heard from them. "This is our primary target," he said. "Marty has been responsible for many of the eliminations already, and served as accomplices in many others."
"Where's the proof?" Sheldon demanded. "I see a trend, but what's to say this isn't a trap to get rid of the strongest players here?"
Brook stood up. "I'm the proof," she said. "I- I- rigged the votes last challenge, on Marty's request. He made me do it..."
Quaoar fumed. "So you're the reason she's-"
Brook cut him off. "We need to band together to get rid of the bad half of Team Friendship entirely."
Angie nodded in an over-exaggerated fashion. "Yeah, that's wonderful, but, how does that affect me?"
"Win challenges," Therion told her. "The more we lose, the less players our team has."
Quaoar spoke. "I'm in, let's get this deal on the road." One by one, people agreed to the deal.
Their meeting was cut short by an announcement. "Attention, frequently losing teams! Please report for elimination."
Brook made her way down, when Marty grabbed her. "We're voting for Quaoar, as planned tonight," he said. "The rest of the team has agreed. Be a doll and vote with us." Brook nodded.
Marty: "Throw someone under the bus to gain an advantage?" he asked rhetorically. "Of course."
Elimination 8
Team Friendship sat down again, with Quaoar, Brook, and Therion in the back, Marty and Adrian in the font. "You guys are big losers," Chris told them. "What happened to friendship? Don't you get along?"
"It's...complicated," Therion said. "But, we have it sorted out."
"Agreed," Adrian added. "This is the final act for a hindrance to our team."
Chris nodded slowly. "Yeah...great..." he tossed a preserver out. "Therion, you dodged another one." He caught it and simply nodded. Chris tossed out the next one. "Marty, also safe."
Therion looked at Quaoar. "How is he-"
"Remember our change? You remember, right? I thought Brook said something," he whispered back.
"I didn't get a change notice," Therion said.
Quaoar's eyes went wide. "Oh no,"
"Calm yourself," Chris said, tossing Quaoar a preserver. "You're fine." Adrian looked interested, while Brook was nervous. "Either one of you scared?" Chris asked.
"Of course not," Adrian said. "How could I be?"
"Have it your way," Chris said. "The loser tonight is...

...Brook!" Adrian chuckled as he caught the preserver.
Brook turned back to Marty. "You lied! Again!"
Marty shrugged. "The smaller the team gets, the less people know. I can handle either of you later."
Chris smiled. "Love the drama, Marty," he told him. "But if you rig the votes in any way again, you're out. Got it?"
Marty nodded. "Shouldn't be needed anymore."
Brook sighed. "Well, I guess my plan kind of worked," she said. "I still should have worked harder."
"You did what you could," Adrian said, "on our end, at least. We simply rendered you useless."
Adrian: "But don't think I haven't noticed Marty trying to take center stage either," he said. "I've got my eye on you."
Brook was shot out. "Now, Team Fire," Chris said. Flora was sitting on the other side, next to Gretchen and Angie, while Norm sat next to Madison. "Which one of you is taking today's blame?" He tossed out the first three preservers. "It won't be Gretchen, Flora, or Madison." They all caught it.
Gretchen pulled a bunch out, and began stinging them together. "This could make a super cute necklace! Angie, do you want one?"
Angie spared her a pity smile. "I'll...make my own."
"That was cute, Angie," Chris told her. He tossed her a preserver. "For that, you get to stay."
"Oh, sweet," Angie commented.
"Oh, darn," Norm said. "I just got back, too."
Chris shook his head, and threw one at Norm too. "You cause drama, feel free to stay." Everyone shot Chris a dirty look. "Ok, fine, check the scripts. Only one elimination was scheduled for today." The all accepted it.
"Talk about a tough crowd," Norm said.
"Better believe it," Chris said to the camera, "and the smaller the crowd, the tougher! Who's going to sink, or really, rise? Who's going to stay under with us another day? Find out next time on Total! Drama! Suuuuuubmeeeerged!"
(END OF CHAPTER)
Bonus Clip: Brook
"My plan went nowhere near what I expected," she explained. "I was going to try and cause a lot more trouble. I guess my conscious got to the best of me. And Marty. You better believe he should watch his step. I know he's the reason I went home, and I was an ally. Your days are numbered, con-man."

And so goes our next "villain". Sorry to Brook's creator, but it was time for her to go.
Why is this so late? I've been involved in a lot of other stuff, and it's going to stay like that. So for now, expect chapters to be every week or every two weeks. It will vary.
The cast has now gotten shorter than the full Karon Island cast, which means more screen time for everyone left in the game, and less times I forget to include someone in an episode, which is how Eden blew up the pod. I forgot she was still in the game. Oops.
Speaking of the explosion scene, I hope you liked my Xenoblade 2 reference (Torna: The Golden Country specifically). I spent a lot of time watching/playing it. It actually really helped me write Adrian better. Thanks, Akhos.
That's all I have for this episode. Remember to review about how your OC is being written. There is still plot time to change things if I'm doing it wrong!
Until then, see ya, in quite literally, a week or two.
