In an abandoned warehouse in Karakura Town, the contestants and their host appear out of a vortex. Chris immediately walks up to a camera. "Last time on Total Drama Worlds Collide." Flashbacks of the previous episode start playing. "Because Wallace ate my cookie, I devised a challenge that would get him eliminated: a trial. However, Haruhi refused to believe it was possible, and after much fighting Annabeth's near perfect case, proved that not only did Wallace not steal my cookie, but Stifler WAS the culprit. No prizes for guessing who went home." The camera cuts back to Chris. "Who will get BLEACHed? Who will get ITCHY and GO? And how obvious did I just make our current world? Find out right now on Total Drama Worlds Collide."
Intro song plays.
"Are we back in that zombie warehouse again?" asked Carly.
"No, though the undead will be a problem for you very soon," said Chris.
"The writer ran out of ideas again?" asked Peter.
"No, he totally did not," said Chris. "Just you wait and see episodes 13, 14, 19 and 23. They're going to be awesome."
"Though I heard episode 10 is just going to be a modified episode 3," said Chef. "And one of the contestants has a huge advantage in episode 11."
"First of all, stop spoiling it," said Zidane. "Second of all, what did the fourth wall ever do to you?"
"Can you just get to the challenge now?" asked Draco.
"Sure thing," said Chris, pulling out what looked like some kind of food pellet. He then crushed it in his hand, and threw the powder across the contestants. "In this world, there are undead creatures called Hollows, and that pellet is their bait. I estimate we have approximately thirty seconds before hordes of them converge on this place. Your challenge is to kill as many of them as possible. The team with the most confirmed kills wins."
"Wait, so we're just walking snacks for these things?" asked Haruhi.
"Basically," said Chris. "Which reminds me, I need to get behind my Hollow-proof shield."
"How deadly are these things?" asked Kathryn.
"I'm sure most of you will be alive later," said Chris. "Luckily, we've managed to find actors and impersonators to replace any of you who do die."
"Oh for *beep* sake," said Shaggy. At this moment, the first Hollows arrived. "Wait a minute Chris. Like, quite a few of us don't have weapons to defend ourselves."
"Oh, right," said Chris. He produced a bunch of swords, knives, and other weapons, and threw them towards the contestants. "There. Now, get fighting."
"Carly, Lyra. Grab a sword, and get behind the rest of us," said Annabeth. "Hopefully you won't have to use them though."
Carly picked a large broadsword, while Lyra had a machete. Pan saw the large number of Hollows approaching, and immediately changed from a ferret to a black bear. Pan charged at the first Hollow, and slashed his claws through its mask. The Hollow disappeared, and Pan immediately picked out his next victim. He thrust out at the Hollow's chest, but quickly withdrew his hand with a cry of pain. Lyra dropped her weapon with a similar cry.
"What's wrong?" asked Zidane, cutting two Hollow's masks at once.
"Their skin. It's like acid," said Pan, holding up his paw. Most of the fur had burnt off it, and some signs of blistering were evident.
"When you hit them in almost any part of their bodies they feel nothing," said Annabeth. "But hitting their masks is an instant kill."
"Then that's what we'll have to do," said Peter, snatching a mask of a nearby Hollow with his web, then smashing it against the floor.
While the team's four fighters were distracted by other Hollows, another one appeared in front of Carly. "Don't hurt me," she said, holding her sword in front of her. "I'll use it if I have to." The Hollow moved closer. "Don't make me use it," said Carly, taking a step backwards. The Hollow loomed ever closer. Carly screamed and hid her head under her arms as the Hollow attacked. Second passed, but Carly felt nothing. She cautiously looked at where the Hollow had been moments before. All she saw was its masks on the end of her sword. "I . . . just killed it," she said to herself. "That's kinda cool." She swung her sword and accidentally smashed another mask. "I take that back. This is *beep* awesome." Immediately, Carly charged into the fray.
Meanwhile on the other team . . .
"Draco, I don't think that's going to work," said Dorothy.
"Shut up. This spell kills everything," said Draco. "AVADA KEDAVRA!" The green blast of energy hit the nearest Hollow, but that's all it did.
"You were saying?" said Wallace.
"At least I'm trying," said Draco.
"Try Diffindo," said Alice, tearing masks from Hollows left and right.
"Okay, fine," said Draco. "DIFFINDO!" A white light flashed from his wand and sliced a Hollow's mask in half.
"Wow, you're actually helping for once," said Kathryn.
"I have killed thre . . . four Hollows since the start of FIVE this sentence," said Alice.
"Yeah, I think you've misjudged her," said Shaggy, smashing a Hollow's mask with a hammer.
"She's clearly trying her hardest," said Haruhi, managing to fend off another Hollow with a javelin.
"Let's not jump to conclusions yet," said Edward. "This could just be an act."

"My stranglehold on the team is slipping. Luckily Edward is on my side, so I'll always have one ally."
"How are they going?" asked Chris.
"No-one's dead yet," said Chef. "The Fighting Pandas are looking like winning because there's seven of them fighting compared to the five Penguins."
"Wait, seven?" said Chris. "I thought there were eight of them."
"Wallace," said Chef.
"Say no more," said Chris. "Do you have a current score?"
"Twenty eight to thirty seven," said Chef.
"You know, this isn't as exciting as I hoped it would be," said Chris. "I wonder what we could . . ." Suddenly, the earth shook, cutting Chris off. "What the hell was that?" he asked as the ground shook again.
Chef pulled up a video stream from outside the warehouse. "There's your answer," he said, showing the feed to Chris.
Chris stared at it for a second before laughing. "Let's see how they like Menos Grande," he said.
Out on the battlefield, the contestants felt Menos Grande's approach too. "What is that?" asked Zidane, taking out another Hollow.
Suddenly, an entire wall of the warehouse was ripped off, and Menos Grande entered. "Does that answer your question?" asked Wallace.
"Why did it need to rip off the wall? I thought they could go through them," said Haruhi.
"It makes for a more badass entry," said Peter.
"Guys, serious problem here," said Annabeth.
"I've got this," said Pan, changing to an eagle. He flew straight for the giant Hollow's mask, but was easily sent aside in a single sweep.
"Maybe we should team up?" suggested Zidane.
"With you? Never," said Edward, clapping his hands together. The ground below him immediately lifted him towards the roof, but before he hit it he jumped at Menos Grande with his lance aimed at his mask. Again, Menos Grande knocked him aside easily.
"DIFFINDO!" yelled Draco. A white light struck Menos Grande's mask, but barely even scratched it.
"Okay, it's down to us guys," said Alice, gathering Annabeth, Peter and Zidane. "Peter, get Annabeth and Zidane near the roof so they can drop onto its mask. I'll distract it."
"I object to this plan," said Annabeth.
"Too late," said Peter, shooting webs to connect Annabeth to the roof. He then did the same for Zidane, before following them up.
Down on the ground, Alice taunted Menos Grande, and dodged his attempts to crush her. "Come on Alice, just a little closer," said Zidane. Slowly, she brought Menos Grande closer and closer and their position. "Okay . . . NOW!" yelled Zidane, cutting the webs holding them. The three of them fell towards Menos Grande's mask, weapons (in Annabeth and Zidane's case at least) extended.
However, Menos Grande didn't even flinch as he grabbed the three of them out of the air and threw them at Alice, bowling her over.
"Guess it's my turn then," said Carly, grabbing one of Zidane's daggers.
"CARLY, NO!" yelled Zidane as she charged at the fifty foot Hollow. She dodged around its hands as it attempted to grab her, before she stuck her sword into one of them. Menos Grande raised his hand to grab her, but Carly started to run up its arm, ignoring the damage its skin was doing to her shoes. As she reached the Hollow's shoulder, she leapt at its mask and stuck her stolen dagger through it. Menos Grande screamed in rage, but Carly wasn't done breaking character yet. She managed to swing herself onto the dagger, before launching herself to the top of its mask where she thrust her sword into it. Menos Grande staggered, and began to fall. Carly only just leapt to safety in time.
"So what? It still only counts as one," said Draco. Menos Grande hit the ground, the ground where the remaining Hollows happened to be.
"How many was that?" asked Chris.
"By my count, eighteen," said Chef.
"Which means that somehow, the Running Penguins win. They actually remembered how to do it," said Chris. "Pandas, I'm very disappointed in you. Elimination is in three hours. Choose your victim."

"Well, I know who I'm voting for. Alice. With any luck people will still hate her for her 'lack of faith' in the team."
Confession Cam: Shaggy
"Like, Wallace didn't do anything in this challenge. He should go."
Confession Cam: Alice
"Kathryn. Need I explain further?"
Later, at the elimination ceremony . . .
"Wow, it's been a while since you guys have been here. You've probably forgotten how it works," said Chris. "Okay, I have seven marshmallows here, but there are eight of you. If you receive a marshmallow, you are safe. For now. If not, you will take the Warp of Shame out of here. The following people are safe." As Chris read each name, he threw them a marshmallow. "Draco. Edward. Kathryn. Dorothy. Haruhi. And Shaggy." The camera cut to a nervous looking Alice and Wallace. "Contestants, there is only one marshmallow left. And it goes to . . ." The camera cut rapidly between Wallace and . . . "Alice." The final marshmallow landed on her lap.
"Sorry Wallace," said Alice, giving him a hug.
"It's gonna be hard to keep Kathryn at bay without you," said Haruhi.
"You'll be fine," said Wallace. "I haven't got anything to base that on, but you'll be fine." Suddenly, Wallace was sucked into a portal and disappeared.
"Despite losing a player, I think the Fighting Pandas are better off," said Chris. "Does Wallace's elimination mean a return to winning? Or can the Running Penguins continue their sudden return to form? And can we change next week's challenge so that it's not an episode 3 knock-off? Find out next time on Total Drama Worlds Collide."
