Total Drama Hollywood: Surviving with Music
Blaineley sat at the pool bar while sipping at a half fat, no foam latte. Letting out content sigh, a blissful smile spread across her face and she turned to the camera's. "Previously on Total Drama Hollywood, the two teams were collared and forced to do a trial. Team Flagrant Bears put Duncan up for trial and literally exploded the set; for the Exuberant Wolves, the court got overthrown by the girls. But Izzy took the boot, not surprising but she is still in the show even if she can't get the million now. And after a poll… where only two voted, on by poll the other by PM… it was 50/50, so we decided to combine the two together. Will both teams be able to survive while there are songs? Or will this episode host the biggest elimination of all time? Stay tune for TOTAL DRAMA HOLLYWOOD!"
Dear Mom and Dad I'm doing fine [scene opens up with the lame-o-sine pulling up with Lindsay sitting on the sunroof waving and Josh opening up the door and stepping out. It soon zooms to the pool of the hotel where Chris, Blaineley and Chef are lounging with Jason and Star Demon talking nearby].
You guys are on my mind [Izzy popping out from the hotel pool in a spider suit freaking out Jason and jumping onto Star Demon terrified. Star Demon shoves him off embarrassed and runs after a laughing Izzy].
You asked me what I wanted to be [Duncan was laughing hysterically seeing Izzy easily escaping Star Demon. He soon gets jumped byEzekiel with Gwen and Courtney laughing at him].
And now I think the answer is plain to see [inside the sunroom Duke is giving Rocco a piercing with Gemini and Wynda watching, till Wynda sees Diana and happily runs over and hugs her, the two soon break out laughing].
I wanna be famous [Duke turns his attention toSeath, shooting him a glare and he backs away].
I wanna live close to the sun [Seath is soon grabbed by Heather and pulls him into a room, locking him in and walking away laughing].
Go pack your bags, cause I've already won [outside the studio grounds Grant is riding a motorcycle while avoiding the pyro traps that Fritz set up].
Everything to prove, nothing in my way, I'll get there one day. [scene shows someone peeking out of the shadows and takes a photo causing Fritz to get distracted].
Cause, I wanna be famous! [Scene shows Shawn approaching Felix who is sitting on a bunch of crates and is sharpening his dagger. He listens to what Shawn is talking about and lets him hold his dagger].
Na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na na na na![On a talk show set, Miko and Samey are talking to each other with Owen listening and eating a bag of marshmallows].
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous [Tag, Jo, Sariel and Mike are all racing down the row of sets with Sariel finishing before the others. In front of them a bunch of shadow figures appeared, making the four get defensive].
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous [Duke is lounged out a leather recliner in the main gathering room and sees Flora approaching. Getting up, he gives her the recliner and she blushes as she sits down. The other soon gather around them looking at the camera on a tri-pod that Diana had brought and put up].
[Whistling in tune as Chris, Blaineley and Chef appear behind Flora and Duke. Diana's camera takes the photo].
Shawn's Confessional Scene:
Shawn: "Apparently from what Blaineley stated when beginning this episode, this one is going to have a multiple elimination! So, if I'm right, from the choices we have it's probably a combo of – "
*Tape cut short due to confidential reasons*.
Team Flagrant Bears was down in the dining area of the hotel, eating the food that was served out for the morning. Sariel merely let out a yawn (without the noise) before going back to drinking her coffee.
"So Sariel, why are you so drowsy?" Grant ask, with Jo glancing up at him.
"Sleeping next door to two drama queens, who can't keep their mouths shut." She merely stated, her eyes glancing over at Gemini, who flicked her raven hair back behind her as she sat down on a couch like she was in a pageant. "Hardly got a wink at all. Wynda, she stabbed the wall with something that shut them both up. It was hilarious hearing them scream like that."
Sariel's confessional Scene:
Sariel – "I don't know what Wynda stabbed the wall with, but I was glad that it made them shut up. I'll have to ask her later what she used; I might borrow it later on."
Owen soon came out of the kitchen area; a tube of ice cream being held by one arm and a spoon being held with his free hand. Vanilla ice cream was smeared around his mouth, but the current one was strawberry.
Owen's Confessional Scene:
Owen – "What? They didn't say we could have dessert for breakfast."
"So," Jo stated, "What do you think Chris has planned for us today?"
"Don't know," Grant said, "but, it's not in charge by Chef or Chris, that's for sure. Blaineley is hosting for today. Apparently, those two are off doing something else."
"Hey, has anyone seen the Wolves at all?" Tag questioned. Looking around, everyone shook their heads no as they haven't been seen all morning.
"Guys… I think the challenge has already begun." Felix, said while pointing at Blaineley who walked in. Behind her, Chef stalked in with his paintball gun in hand and pumped for action.
Slowly waking up, Rocco rose up from the ground and brushed himself off. He was still a bit ditzy, while his other team members were still asleep. Rubbing at his eyes for a second, they adjusted long enough to see Chris's face on a computer screen.
"Wow, you're fast to wake up, Rocco. Since you're up, how about a solo song? Don't sing, you're out of the game. For this challenge, not singing will get you eliminated."
"You have got to be kidding me…" he said drowsily, and the music note went off for him to start singing as the computer screen turned off. Letting out a deep sigh, he began the first few notes. "First to wake, now this takes the cake. Hopefully, someone will hit Chris in the face."
Walking over to his team members, he shook each of them one by one to wake them up. "Waking them up is the problem, unless someone comes in and does something awesome. Hopefully this makes Chris happy, but I know this song is crappy." Glancing over at the computer screen, it was still turned off and he just put his hands on his face as he sat down on the ground again.
"Out of all the teams, why is mine the only one who sings? The other team is musical like ours, bet they have a better choir." With that said, he folded his arms across his chest and did a small hum until he decided to stop.
"Not bad," Chris said as he stepped out of a shadow, "but could have been better. Hopefully, your team will wake up soon, because your singing just alerted the hunters that you're here. Have fun surviving!" He said while disappearing back into the shadows.
Rocco's Confessional Scene:
Rocco – "You have got to be - kidding me!"
Over with the Flagrant Bears, they were all doing their best to avoid being hit by Chef's paintballs as he came charging after them. Quickly, Star Demon managed to gather his whole team into the same room that the "secret meeting" from the previous episode had been held in. They all held their breaths as Chef went by, his paintball gun cocking and his footsteps the only noise that they heard. After a couple of minutes of dead quiet, Gwen was the first to speak out.
"So, what should we do? We can't hide in here forever." She merely stated just as Jo covered her mouth and gave her a hushing noise.
Tag was quick to speak up, his voice low, "Why don't we split up? He can't hunt all of us if we go in different directions. Plus, the other team is probably being hunted by the rest of Chef's hunting team. Star Demon, you're the boss, think we should go with the plan?"
"Better to split up, then stay together and be a sitting target. We'll have four teams of two, but only one team of three because there's eleven of us. Go with someone who you think you can stand being alone with."
Everyone nodded their heads, quickly teaming up with one another. Jo dragging Tag and Grant with her, Duncan tag-teaming with Owen, while Felix grabbed Fritz and the two taking off quickly; Gwen quickly grabbed Sariel and they left in a different direction from the one of Felix and Fritz. Looking at Gemini, Star Demon let out a deep sigh and the two left the room that they were in.
Jo's Confessional Scene:
Jo – "I ain't going to be the downfall of this team. So far, no one has told us how this competition really works. If any of these newbies get hit, I'm leaving them in the dust!" She folded her arms across her chest, and let out a small hum at the though of her words. "Maybe… not. I don't know. Combine Grant and Tag, they remind me of Cameron. Kind of."
Owen and Duncan quickly maneuvered their way through the lobby, reaching the doors and tried opening them. Glancing at each other, Duncan reached into one of his pockets and pulled out his lockpick set.
"So, glad that I packed these. I'm never leaving home without them again." He snickered, quickly picking the lock and slowly opening up the door. Right before the two could even step outside, an alarm went off and bars fell covering every window and door of the whole building. "Oh, you have to got be kidding me," Duncan stated.
"So, what do we do now Duncan?"
Behind them, there was the cock of a paintball gun and the two nearly froze in fear. "WE RUN!" Duncan shouted, the two taking off at full speed as paintballs were blasted at them. Crazy yelling soon flooded the hall, alerting Gwen and Sariel as to who was most likely going to be hunting them soon enough.
Chef's Confessional Scene:
Chef – "Hunting season is in session," he said while snickering and rubbing his hands together, "but I'm not the one hunting them, this time. I got Izzy covering the lobby up to the fourth floor. And I'm pretty sure she's going to hit Owen in the kiwis… spicy."
Over with Felix and Fritz, the two had shoved themselves into garbage cans (the ones that a cafeteria would use) and were being carted outside. They could hear the door slam behind them, the sounds of birds in the area and the guy who had pushed them out walking away. After a few minutes of waiting, the two popped out of the garbage cans and popped out, giving each other a high five. Not far from them, Chris approached clapping his hands at them.
"You two, are the first to survive and get outside. Can't say the same about your teammates. But, you two are still up for elimination. And I'm going to let you guys figure that out on your own, have fun." Chris stated, walking away from them while whistling a small tune. Fritz and Felix glanced at each other, worry in their eyes at the thought of them still being up for elimination.
"How the heck do we save ourselves from elimination, mate?"
"Well, let's think for a second, Felix. This episode is a 50/50, so half of it is survival and we just need to figure out the second half."
Nodding their heads, the two quickly thought over the different genre that could possibly make up the rest of the episode.
Sariel and Gwen had ducked behind a couch in one of the hotel lounge rooms, the lights already turned off to keep them hidden. Over the intercom, the two of them perked up when Chris's voice thundered through the room. "Two are outside, but still not safe. Now, because of Duncan and Owen's "escape attempt" you have to survive inside with the Chef and Izzy. Good luck. Oh, a song would be nice now… Sariel, Gwen, Star Demon and Gemini, you four are up for singing. Don't get caught." His laughter was the last thing they heard as it slowly slipped into silence and the two stared at each other.
"Well," Gwen said, "I guess this is our shot."
Nodding her head, the two softly started to sing out My Shot from Hamilton, "I am not going to throw away my shot. I am not going to throw away my shot. Hey yo, I'm just like my country. I'm young, scrappy and hungry. And I'm not throwing away my shot." Swiftly, the two moved out of the lounge room, while singing the song as to not alert Izzy or Chef of their position.
Over with Star Demon and Gemini, the two were bickering with each other after managing to avoid Chef. Letting out a deep breath, Star Demon rounded a corner and slammed into Gwen and Sariel.
"Oops, sorry girls," he said while helping them up.
"Nice move, Star Crasher." Gemini called out, while filing her nails. For Star Demon, that made his anger flare a bit, and he approached Gemini as his anger peaked out. "You want to say that to my face, Gemini?"
"Aww, you can't take a bit of name-calling, Star Crasher?" Gemini questioned, her hands on her hips and she shifted herself while a smirk grew on her face.
"Guys, please! Can we not argue right now?" Gwen said, while shoving herself between Star Demon and Gemini. "Sariel, can you help me out here?" Gwen pleaded.
"Geniuses, lower your voices," Sariel sang out while her voice was still low, "You keep out of trouble and you double your choices. I'm with you, but the situation is fraught. You've got to be carefully taught; if you talk, you're gonna get shot."
Gemini rolled her eyes, but Star Demon picked up the singing and changed the words, "Sariel, check what we got. Gemini here, fake queen of Canterlot. She ain't that hot, she'll get the first shot. Let's hatch a plot, and ditch her here on the spot. What are the odds, if we stay in this one spot? Not doing squat. Like it or not, we're a bunch of game show contestants. Let's move location, before they know where our position is."
Gwen soon perked in on the song, "Oh, am I saying we're too loud? Gemini, don't get too excited and watch your mouth. Let's move before we run into a boar, because I'm not sticking around."
The three of them stared at Gemini, as she let out a deep sigh and picked up the song, "Let's leave before we become a crowd."
Slowly, and together in tune, the four quickly left the hallway area as Izzy's laughter slowly filled the place where they once stood.
Izzy's Confessional Scene:
Izzy – "This is fun! I may not be playing for the million anymore, but still, this is fun! I get shoot people with green paint! Oh, I wonder how the other team is doing while hanging out with the rest of Chef's group?"
Over with the Exuberant Wolves, taking cover in random places while avoiding the rest of Chef's hunting team. Heather, Flora, Duke and Rocco were all teamed together as Flora convinced Duke into the crate and then followed after him; Heather, checking to make sure no one spotted them was the last to enter.
"Well, this is just great," Heather stated, "Jason, Mike and Courtney are out of the game now. I say one of them takes the boot."
Rocco covered Heathers mouth as traditional Spanish music played out, getting all of their attention a set of footsteps walked by them.
Heather's Confessional Scene:
Heather – "Well, this is going to be fun. I know for certain, that I have an advantage here."
Not far away from their location, Eva and Fang were backing up Samey, Diana, Ezekiel, and Seath towards a corner of the set that they were at. The two looked at each other, devious smiles forming and pumped up their paintball gun as they both slowly creeped in on the four contestants.
"ZOMBIES!" Shawn cried out, while tackling down Eva with full force, breaking her paintball gun in half and quickly started to attack her as she launched herself at him. For Fang, he stared at them for a second and shook his head, his attention snapping back on the four contestants.
"Excuse me, shark face. But ye are messing with me team. Ye mess with me team, ye mess with me." Wynda said, as she walked up behind him while popping her knuckles. "Time for me to take out the trash."
Back with the Flagrant Bears, Owen was being carted away by a medical team after receiving multiple close-encounter paintball shots and bite wounds, while Izzy was laughing on a couch. Duncan laid moaning on the floor, after being flipped over a couch and a coffee table with a medical man next to him making sure that he was still able to play the game.
Jo, Tag and Grant quickly moved through a hallway, seeing the bars on the doors and windows go up when ambulance sirens became the only sound for them. Nodding their heads, the three moved towards the fire escape, opened it up and quickly slammed the escape door shut. High fiving, the three looked down as saw that the balcony they were on was five floors off the ground.
"Well, crap." Jo said, as they looked down. "Now, how the heck do we get down from here?"
"Isn't there an escape ladder to these things?" Grant said, looking around at where they were standing. After a moment of silence, the sound of jetpack came over them and they saw Blaineley.
"Oh, you found the fake fire escape. Nicely done, now it's up to you three on how to escape. And Chef, he's on his way to get you three. So, work fast." With that said, she quickly took off leaving them dumbfounded for a few seconds.
"Well, this is just great. I blame you for this," Jo said while japing her finger at Tag, "you led us up here."
"I was just following you! You grabbed the two of us, so we're under your command!" Tag answered back at her, and she just folded her arms while saying "whatever" under her breath. Next to them, Grant pressed himself against the wall as he stared at the railing.
"What's the matter, Grant?" Tag questioned. Grant merely pointed, at the railing and they all saw a couple of Cellar spiders crawling around the railing. Jo, rolling her eyes merely swatted them off and leaned over the railing. With that quick glance, she got on one side of the balcony and jumped. Her hands grabbed the railing of the other one, and she pulled herself over it.
"They aren't that far apart, boys! Get jumping!"
Looking at her, the two followed her example just as the fire escape that they came through slammed open and green paint was splattered all over them as they escaped.
Fritz and Felix continued to think about how to avoid elimination. Fritz went through the list multiple times, counting them on his fingers till it hit him in the head. "DUH! Blaineley said it when she introduced the episode. Will both teams be able to survive while there are songs?"
"We haven't been told to sing just yet." Felix told him. The two of them stared at each other, the sounds of what could have been a cuckoo clock filling the dead silence. "We should probably sing, huh?"
"Though the main question is, what should we sing about?" Fritz said, crossing his arms over his chest as he raised an eyebrow at Felix. Felix scratched the top of his head for a moment, and right before he could say a word the two were caught in explosions of green paint.
Chris was on a pool lounge raft, sipping a soda while looking up at the sunset. Around him, the contestants all came to the pool area. All annoyed, but cleaned up from the green paint from the event that happened earlier that day. Owen had returned, merely covered with some bruises.
"Today everyone, no team is the victor. This challenge, both teams are sending someone home. Doesn't matter if they were put in the hospital or not. Team Flagrant Bears, Duncan is currently in the hospital still. Haven't gotten word yet if he will be able to compete still or not, but someone from your team is still going home. Exuberant Wolves, someone is going home for you guys too. But before you go home, Blaineley, give us your little speech of today's episode."
Coming outside, she was tapping away at her phone for a moment before she turned it off and looked at the contestants. "Heather, you gave up Duke, Flora and Rocco when Alejandro came on the scene after you guys convinced Duke to go into the box. Not a very bold move to tell you the truth. Shawn, you went all attack upon Eva to where you knocked her out cold while Wynda sent Fang back into the ocean and saved your teammates. Rocco, you sang the first song of this episode all by yourself but you still got splatted by paint. For the rest of your team, they all got splattered by paint and eliminated before they could do any action, thus putting them on the chopping block."
Sitting down on a barstool, the bartender gave her a Mr. Coconut and she took a quick sip from it before continuing. "Owen, you and Duncan teamed up but accidently locked your whole team inside the hotel though Felix and Fritz found an escape route through the kitchen. Now Fritz and Felix, the two of you managed to escape but got splatted by paint before you guys could even sing, shame. Jo, Grant and Tag, you found the fake fire escape but still got splattered by paint after Jo insulted both of you guys. Sariel, Star Demon, Gemini and Gwen, you guys sure had interesting encounter. Gemini, you insulted Star Demon while you guys were on the move, and Star Demon insulted you while singing. Sariel, you got to sing a really good song with some tag-a-long from Gwen. But I have to say, Gemini, you might be on the chopping block with those three."
All around the players stared at each other, wondering who exactly was going home. Only a few of them knew that they were safe, and would be heading on to the next challenge. The cart with the plush Mr. Coconut came out, and Blaineley grabbed a few from the cart.
…
…
…
…
"Sariel, Gwen, Star Demon, you three are safe with Tag and Grant." She threw them the Mr. Coconuts, and they sighed in relief as Blaineley carried it on. "Owen, you are safe too. Next up, Wynda and Shawn, you guys are safe with Flora, Duke and Rocco."
They quickly caught their Mr. Coconuts, Wynda doing a "cheers" motion towards Shawn and he returned the gesture.
"Samey and Diana, behind camera's, you tied up Eva to make sure she wouldn't go after you guys. So, both of you are safe. Seath, no one can find a problem with you yet, but they might, but still you're safe. Jason, Mike and Courtney, you guys got splatted first, but so far only I know that Jason and Mike are safe." The five of them caught their rewards, and everyone stared at the players who hadn't received theirs.
"Ezekiel, you made it a few episodes further than what you're use too, but times up for you." From the pool, they all heard a cheer from Chris and then getting hit in the head by a Mr. Coconut from Wynda as Ezekiel got hit by a meatball. "Jo, Tag and Grant ganged up on you, so your shot for the million are good bye." She immediately stood up to reject, but got hit by a meatball and flew a few feet into a bunch of pool rafts.
Jo's Confessional Scene:
Jo – "Are you kidding me? Guess I had it coming, though." She picked off pieces of meatball, eating a small bit and nodding her head in approval. "Now, that's what I call authentic."
"Heather, Heather, Heather, Lady Luck has turned against you. Selling out your teammates like that, has sold you off the show. Good bye, Queen of Mean."
"Oh, whatever. Go get your extensions fixed," Heather stated as she walked off after Jo and Ezekiel, till she got shot by a meatball that sent her soaring in the direction that she was heading in.
"Gemini, you are very lucky because you still sang even if you were cruel to Star Demon. He managed to convince Gwen and Sariel to keep you in game. Like he told me, no one gets away so easily with making fun of his name."
Everyone stared over at Star Demon, who had his sunglasses in his hand and he crushed them easily. For Gemini, she gulped a small bit, fear forming in her eyes.
"Courtney, not much came from you today… but something is buzzing around in the air, and I want to know what it is. I haven't seen the footage yet, but when I do it's going to be fun messing with you. So, you're safe."
Courtney's Confessional Scene:
Courtney – "Okay, I may have not had screen time today, but that doesn't give her the right to torture me with the behind-the-scene footage." She folded her arms on her chest, and gave a bit of an annoyed look towards the camera. There was a small shuffling noise, and a letter fell from the top of the door.
Courtney – "Another letter? This is like the fourth one that I've received since I got here. I am so running an investigation on this."
"Felix and Fritz, either one of you are on the chopping block. Even though you both escaped, neither of you got the chance to show some vocal talent… but seeing you get splattered in paint as opposed to seeing you sing was so worth it. So, you two boys are staying in the game."
The two of them sighed in relief, as Mr. Coconuts landed on them both. Chris watched the teams walk away and decided to end the episode.
"So far, this has been Total Drama Hollywood. The two teams pitted against Chef's hunting team, three got sent home by meatballs. Our news on Duncan, we're still waiting for it. You'll find out about him in the next episode… especially after we revise Izzy's contract. Not." He let out a laugh, and stretched out a small bit as he kicked a bit of water, "What's next in store for these contestants? Well, you will just have to wait and see. And that's been an episode of Total Drama Hollywood!"
Eliminated so Far: 26 – Miko, 25 – Izzy, 24 - Ezekiel, 23 - Jo, 22 – Heather, 21 - ?
Remaining Team Members:
Exuberant Wolves: Duke, Jason, Flora, Wynda, Seath, Mike, Samey, Courtney, Rocco, Diana, Shawn.
Flagrant Bears: Star Demon, Owen, Gemini, Sariel, Duncan, Grant, Gwen, Tag, Felix, Fritz.
Oh my god, this is the first chapter that isn't split up at all! It's all just one chapter, yay for me!
So far, the original characters are still in the game. Team Flagrant Bears got more screen time today, and the chances to sing. This episode had been a bit fun for me to do, but I still got a lot planned for all the remaining contestants… a lot of it still forming, but I got some plans made for them.
For Duncan, you guys will have to wait and see in the next episode. If you guys want to comment about him, go for it. He may stay, he may not. Not telling till the next episode.
I got a poll up where you can vote on who you think would win Total Drama Hollywood. It's just for fun, you can vote up to three people. You can even vote for your own, if you want. It will be edited over time, to stay update with the future episodes of Total Drama Hollywood.
