Review Responding Time!
ShadowJCreed- Well since Dave is now gone Sky's game will maybe be a little better. I'm wondering if he'll finally find out about Kieth at the Aftermath knowing Topher he'll eagerly want to tell Dave.
Me- We'll see...
xtremexavier15-Dave is gone. Dave is gone. I won't see him for so long. Even though what Sugar did was wrong, at least it got rid of Dave. And here's my elimination prediction(Note: Dakota will return)
10th: Dawn
9th: Lightning
8th: Sky
7th: Cameron
6th: Sugar
5th: Dakota
4th: Samey
3rd: Sam
2nd: Brick
1st: Shawn
Also, in the next aftermath, will the non competitors not talk? And sorry my reviews are annoying. Good chapter
Me- Interesting prediction.
Well they might have a line or two but they won't be completely out of the pictures.
Thanks!
AnonBrowser- Hooray for the Grips finally winning an elimination challenge! This was definitely overdue. It was obvious that Dave would be the first Gaffer eliminated given all his actions since the first Aftermath even if Chris hadn't learned about Chef's secret arrangements with him. What surprised me though is how his attraction to Sky seemed to quickly return after their required kiss in the challenge AND how she started liking him back afterwards, at least until he royally screwed up and dug his own grave by idiotically spilling his deal with Chef after they lost. It's amusingly ironic how Sky says she's not into dating a cheater given the canon Keith scenario :P. I'd also call that hypocritical if she willingly became unfaithful to him here. Interesting how Dave once again finishes in the canon episode that DJ did in the real TDA.
I do feel our germaphobe went too far when trying to hurt the gymnast, but at least Chef was able to talk some sense into him and show him the error of his ways. Quite a drop for him to go from last standing male on his team last season and its 3rd highest ranking member to lowest ranking player on his team in this season. He was also the only one from this team who made the merge last time. Not sure if he's more upset over Sky now for turning him down again after learning about the Chef deal or how she told Sugar about it, which led to Sugar telling Chris. In any case, I like the idea of a redemption arc for him and am glad he regained some sanity before leaving unlike in canon, even if not a full recovery. Will that arc take place in this fic or your reimagined season 3?
On another note, seeing Cameron try to help Samey get with Brick was fun, and I laughed at how Mr. Wilkins said that dating advice book he read got "inappropriate" after people spend "alone time" together. Of course things between couples can get M-rated at some point! A brainiac like him should know that by now even if love and relationships aren't things he's well-versed in. He also came really close to spilling her affections to Shawn! Good thing he stopped before it was too late or things could've been quite awkward. I wonder how long it'll be until the others learn how Ms. Kind Twin feels about our military boy, whether by bubble boy letting it slip or by saying so herself. It regardless doesn't look like Mr. McArthur has any idea at the moment how she wants him.
P.S. B serving as this episode's cameo was a nice addition. It's funny to think how he probably wouldn't stand a chance in any contest that required screaming :P. Have you perhaps planned out all of the cameo appearances in advance? On a side note, looking back in the Chefshank Redemption chapter, you mistakenly wrote that Shawn "let the Grips have the win" during McLean's recap when you should've said "let the Gaffers have the win". There was also an instance of "Screaming Gophers Side" which was supposed to be "Screaming Gaffers Side" as the team was digging underground.
Me- Oof yeah, I'm starting to think I made some things a little too predictable but it's whatever.
Naw he's not coming back THIS season, but he might be in World Tour or even All Stars.
I'm having fun writing the interactions between those three, lol.
Thanks!
Well a lot of people have been asking about it and since it's technically not a spoiler. I'll just say which episodes have a cameo
Full Metal Drama
Ocean's Eight or Nine
Million Dollar Babies
Super Hero Movie Challenge- Still haven't decided on a title
Get A Clue
Top Dog
Thanks for that! I fixed the errors.
Tristan494- Well my prediction was right :) I liked the fail football ghost, XD. And I liked Dave a lot more this chapter. Final 9, and I am starting to like Cameron. :) But soon somebody might return, or debut.
Thanks!
We'll see...
ThorBringstheThunder- Honestly I kind of saw this one coming, though maybe not so soon. Good chapter regardless! I'm liking how this is turning out.
Me- Yeah.. but didn't want to drag Dave and Sky's plotline for too long
Thanks!
" Last time on TOTAL DRAMA ACTION! I sent our contestants for a scare when I faked my death. But that was only the start of the horror movie challenge" Chris said
"We had our resident silent genius, B. Scare the crap out of some unsuspecting teenagers. Some were scared.." Chris said
"Shows clip of Shawn and Cameron screaming"
"Others not so much.." Chris said
"Shows clip of Dawn not moving a muscle"
" But in the end, The Killer Grips won the challenge thanks to Lightning. Then the Gaffers were sent to the Craft Services Tent to be sitting ducks. It was up to Killer Grips to get them out of the tent before dawn. Lightning tried to frighten them with his soccer ball ghost but sadly no one was stupid enough to fall for that. Then Sugar concocted a fake blood recipe. Thanks to Dawn's weirdo psychic powers she saw through the fake blood and revealed what was going on to her team. Shawn put on a zombie impression but at that point the joke was already "half-dead"... Haha, zombie joke!" Chris said
"..…. Remind me to fire whichever intern wrote that. Sam pulled through for his team and the Grips scored a win. Romantic tension was building up between Dave and Sky after their required kiss. In an act of love, Dave revealed to Sky about his illegal alliance with Chef. Sky furious at Dave wanted nothing to do with him. She then told Sugar about her little secret. Not a wise choice seeing as how she told me. And so Dave the cheater was disqualified from the show, wanna find out who goes next? Find out right here on TOTAL DRAMA ACTION!" Chris said
~ Craft Services Tent~
The contestants are trying to scarf down their gruel
"Is anyone else noticing ever since Dave left, Chef's just been feeding us gruel?" Cameron asked
" Chef's aura is telling me he is feeling guilt for his alliance with Dave, mainly because of the punishment he received with it. But still.." Dawn said
CONFESSIONAL: SKY
" I think it's for the best that Dave left.."
" Plus now I can focus solely on the game"
END CONFESSIONAL
" Ya know I always had a sneaking suspicion about Chef and Dave. Just never really thought it was true." Shawn said
" Dang I wish Chef had asked me to an alliance!, Lightning would've taken Chef to the endzone! Course I wouldn't share any money with him" Lightning said
" But Chris still would've found out sooner or later. Even without Sugar telling him" Sam said
"W-What? Who says I told him that?" Sugar said nervously
" Rhymes with booger.." Shawn said
" Hehe... That could be any of our names!" Sugar said
The Killer Grips all gave Sugar a deadpanned look
" Fine it was me! Why ya'll gotta go and ruin the fun?.." Sugar said
" And this gruel is nowhere as good as juggy chunks!" Sugar said
Chef then appeared by the kitchen counter
Sam then nudged Sugar and then pointed to Chef
" And by that... I mean... gruel is good?" Sugar said
"..….. I hate suck ups" Chef said as he walked away
" Morning contestants! Just so you know, you won't be holding onto your lunches for much longer" Chris said as he walked into the craft services tent
" And what does that mean?" Sky asked
" You know, today might be a total DISASTER.. Get it?, Disaster movie challenge!" Chris said
CONFESSIONAL: CAMERON
" Oh boy... If you couldn't tell from my noodle arms"
" I wasn't really built for disaster movies"
END CONFESSIONAL
CONFESSIONAL: LIGHTNING
" Lightning is hyped for this challenge!"
" You think Lightning would be able to see actual lightning?"
" Now that would be sha-sweet!"
END CONFESSIONAL
~ Earthquake of Inevitable Pain~
" This obstacle course will challenge your dexterity and mad monkey skills!" Chris said
" First team to the top wins! Best out of two avoids elimination." Chris said
The Killer Grips huddled together to discuss strategy
" Okay we ALL have to make it to the top in order to win. So we all gotta make sure no man gets left behind" Shawn said
" Lightning only looks out for number #1! If you all fall behind, ain't my fault!" Lightning said
" But it doesn't matter if you get there first if your whole team isn't there..." Shawn said
" .….. Dang, you sha-right. Just make sure you can keep up with these!" Lightning said pointing to his calves
" Enough with the chitty-chat. Take your marks" Chris said
All nine contestants lined up across the starting point
" GO!" Chris said as he blew his airhorn
The two teams dashed across the tires
" Hehe.. I thought this was gonna be harder" Sam said
" Oh it will... right about now!" Chris said as he pressed a button
The obstacle course begins to shake, Sam and Shawn stumble and fall over into the tires
Sky and Brick reach the monkey bars
Chef is on the sidelines with a bag of garbage
" I've been meaning to get rid of this.." Chef said as he picked up a bowling ball
Chef threw it at the cadet, Brick lost his grip and fell off the monkey bars and landed into the pool of water underneath
Chef then took out a rubber duckie and threw it at Sugar, it landed in her mouth and she swallowed it
" Yum!" Sugar said
Chris then pulled a lever and the obstacle course stopped
" Phew, looks like the worst part is over" Sammy said
The obstacle course then started back up again
Sammy lost balance and tripped over a tire
"Ow.." Sammy said
" What's better than an aftershock you ask? Lava!" Chris said as he pressed a button
Molting hot lava seared throughout the obstacle course.
Everyone went to monkey bars to avoid it
The camera then turned to Chef tasting the lava
"Tomato soup?! Chris this was gon be dinner!" Chef said
" Relax.. It was used for a worthy cause. You can always deep fry those dead rats in your kitchen" Chris said with a smirk
Chef glared at Chris as he continued to talk
" Is it getting hot in here? How about a cool, refreshing hail storm?" Chris asked
Chris then walked over to same gatling gun used for the beach challenge except now it was filled with golf balls
" Incoming!" Brick said as Chris began to fire golf balls
Sugar opened her mouth hoping to taste a golf ball, it landed right on her forehead and she fell over
Lightning saw a baseball bat lying around on the course he picked it up and began hitting golf balls
"Batta batta swing!" Lightning said
" Nobody touches my stuff!" Chef said
Chef threw a lamp at Lightning, Lightning dodged and blew a raspberry at Chef. Chef in return threw a coffee mug right in Lightning's face
" Oww! My sha-beautiful face!" Lightning said
" After AFTER Shock!" Chris said as he pressed a button
The course started falling apart
Sammy slipped and fell through one of the cracks
Brick ran over and grabbed her hand, he then pulled her back up
" Are you okay?!" Brick asked
"Never better..." Sammy said
The Screaming Gaffers then gained a lead and headed into a tube
"Brick, aren't you coming with us?" Sammy asked
" I'll stay back to try and deflect the golf balls so none of you will be hit! Do not worry my body is prepared to take-" Brick said before interrupted
A golf ball then hit Brick's kiwis, Brick fell over with a groan
Brick then crawled over to the tube
" Hey were out of ammo! Do something, Chef!" Chris said
Chef threw a chair at Chris, which knocked him out cold.
He then continued throwing stuff at the contestants
The Gaffers begin to climb a wall
" I-I'm not sure if I can do this..." Cameron said nervously
" Cameron, it's okay nothing THAT bad is going to happen." Sammy said
" Okay..." Cameron said
Sammy then hoisted Cameron up
Chef then took the last item out of his garbage bag
"Ah my unpublished manifesto... I've lived a lot of years" Chef said as he threw the book
Cameron then reached the top of the wall
" Hey, I did it!" Cameron said
Soon afterwards the manifesto hits Cameron square in the jaw, Cameron is sent flying down the course. He lands at the bottom and groans as he's in tremendous pain
Sammy runs down to check on him
"Cameron?! Are you okay?!" Sammy asked
"N-No..." Cameron said
CONFESSIONAL: SAMMY
" Maybe I shouldn't of helped him after all.."
"We may have lost but then at least his jaw wouldn't of been broken!"
" Urgh.. Your so stupid!" Sammy said as she slapped her forehead
END CONFESSIONAL
The Killer Grips and half of the Gaffers watch from the top of the course
" Chris? Shouldn't someone be helping him?" Sky asked
" In a minute" Chris said as he smiled, secretly enjoying Cameron's pain
" But the Screaming Gaffers take the win!" Chris said
The Screaming Gaffers minus Sammy cheered
" No way! We got our WHOLE team up here!" Shawn said
"Serious injury trumps all" Chris said
" Your just making the rules as you go, aren't you?" Shawn asked
"..…. I love my job" Chris said
~ Movie Set~
" What will become of Cameron? Stay tuned to find out on TOTAL DRAMA ACTION!" Chris said
commercial break
~ The Dock~
The contestants minus Cameron gather at the dock
" How's Cameron doing?" Sammy asked
" Well due to him being built like a pencil, he didn't take the blow very well. The doctors say he MIGHT have a concussion... but who really cares?" Chris said nervously
" We do!" The contestants said minus Sugar
" Darn shame what happened, but can we move on before ya'll bore me to death?" Sugar asked
Everyone except for Chris glared at Sugar
CONFESSIONAL: CHRIS
" Hehe.. That's what release forms are for?"
"Right?..."
END CONFESSIONAL
the contestants were now in rafts
" Alright now it's time for the second disaster themed challenge! Whose excited?" Chris asked
No one said anything, a cricket chirps in the background
" Due to the Gaffers win, they get an advantage in the second challenge!" Chris said as he flew a paper airplane towards the Gaffers raft
Dawn caught it and began to read the paper
" Hmm.. a random set of numbers. Some sort of code, maybe?" Dawn said
" You can figure that out once your in the submarine!" Chris said
The contestants then went on the submarine as it dove down beneath the water
Chris then ran to the editing room
~ Editing Room~
" In this challenge you gotta get out before it's too late.." Chris said
" Too late for what?" Shawn asked off screen
"You'll see..." Chris said as he pulled a lever
The submarine started to leak and water slowly started pouring through
~ Submarine: Killer Grips~
" Alright guys we gotta remain calm in situations like this" Shawn said
" Calm, Shlam. I say we drink the water till there's no more left!" Sugar said
" That's psychically impossible... But go for it" Shawn said
Sugar then bent down and started slurping up the water
CONFESSIONAL: SHAWN
" At least now I can hear myself think"
" I'm kinda craving for an elimination so we can get rid of Sugar"
" But I don't want to throw the game or anything like that, it'll just give them reason to vote me off"
END CONFESSIONAL
~ Submarine: Screaming Gaffers~
" Does anyone know what these numbers mean?!" Brick asked
" No but I bet Cameron would've figured it out..." Sammy said sadly
Brick gave Sammy a sympathetic pat on the back
" No one blames you for what happened to Cameron, Sammy" Brick said
" Thanks Brick" Sammy said
" Sorry to interrupt the touching moment, but look!" Sky said pointing to a hatch on the ceiling
~ Submarine: Killer Grips~
" Hey look a hatch!" Shawn said pointing to a hatch on the floor
Lightning tried turning it but had no luck
" It's sha-locked" Lightning said
" No need to worry! I've played enough survival games to know how to pick a lock" Sam said
" Well get to it before I drown!" Sugar said as she pushed Sam into the water
~ Submarine: Screaming Gaffers~
The Screaming Gaffers get on each other shoulders so the person at the top can open the hatch
Brick is at the bottom with Sammy above him, Dawn above her and Sky at the top
Sky tries opening the hatch but a shark pops out and attempts to bite her
Sky quickly closes the hatch
"No good!" Sky said
~ Submarine: Killer Grips~
Sam is still underwater trying to defuse the lock
" Hey why don't we try and open the hatch up there?" Sugar asked
Shawn climbed to the top and opened the hatch, a spew of fire came bursting out. He quickly closed the hatch
"That's why" Shawn said
~ Editing Room~
Chris and Chef are playing cards
" Heh.. The water's rising kinda high. Should we stop the challenge?" Chris asked
" What do I care, apparently I'm stuck on this stupid show and not even being paid for it!" Chef yelled
" Right... Go fish?" Chris asked
Chef flipped the table over
" Dude you can have your chips back, just turn off the water" Chris said
Chris gave Chef his chips back, Chef reached over to the lever he tried pulling it but ended up breaking it
" NO! No more contestants= equals no more episodes.. .Which means... TOTAL DRAMA WILL BE CANCELED!" Chris said in concern
" Good, I hate this stupid job anyways" Chef said
~ Submarine: Screaming Gaffers~
The water is almost at the ceiling
" This is it... really the end" Sky said
Sky looks at the camera
" Before I die there's something I wanna get off my chest. Keith if your watching this, I should've broken up with you WAY before I signed up for this show. It's OVER." Sky said
"..… Who's Keith?" Brick asked
" Since were gonna die anyways... he's my boyfriend" Sky said
Sammy and Brick gasp
" Y-Your boyfriend?!… That doesn't make any sense, you and Dave, the flirting, and a BOYFRINED?! I request some more context on this situation!" Brick said
" Sky has.. well had a boyfriend back home. But after her and Dave's kiss last challenge, she started falling for Dave. But rejected him after finding out he had an illegal alliance with Chef" Dawn said
" Dave told you about the illegal alliance with Chef?" Sammy asked
" Yeah. Even though I was disappointed in what Dave did, I stuck to my word and didn't tell anyone" Sky said
"Except for when you told Sugar" Dawn said
"Well yes... But it was in a moment of weakness! I was flustered and. and..." Sky said
Sky started tearing up
" No Sky.. you don't have to cry" Sammy said
"Me, crying?... Olympians never cry!" Sky said
"... Don't wanna be mean but you were crying a lot that one reward challenge" Sammy said
" Should I explain or are you going to tell them?" Dawn asked
"Fine.. I just did that so I could have the reward to myself" Sky said disappointedly
Brick, Sammy, and Dawn all glare at the gymnast
" So not cool Sky" Sammy said
CONFESSIONAL: BRICK
" What is going on with my team?!"
" First the incident with Dave and now Sky?!"
" It's like no one has any common sense anymore"
END CONFESSIONAL
~ Submarine: Killer Grips~
Sam bobs his head back up
" Ugh.. can't do it. Only if someone had some straws then maybe they could connect it and I could pick the lock" Sam said
Shawn grabs some straws from out of his hat and gives it to the gamer
"Why-" Sam said before interrupted
"..…. Don't question it" Shawn said
Sam dove back down and began picking at the lock
~ Editing Room~
" Sam's doing it! If he actually succeeds then I might be able to keep my job!" Chris said
~ Submarine: Killer Grips~
Intense music starts to play as Sam continues to fidget with the lock
The water is almost at the ceiling
" Sha-hurry! Lightning doesn't wanna die like a chump!" Lightning said
Sam right on cue gets the lock open, he then opens the hatch and swims through it
The other Killer Grips follow suit
~ Editing Room~
" He did it! I still get paid, I still get paid!" Chris cheered
Chef rolls his eyes
~ Trailers~
The contestants gather at the trailers
" So I have TWO things to announce. One, Since Sam saved my jo- everyone's lives... The Killer Grips obviously win!" Chris said
The Killer Grips cheer for Sam
" Two, coming straight out of the hospital it's Cameron!" Chris said
Cameron who is now in his bubble is pushed in by an intern
" Luckily Cameron promised to not sue... so I should be in the clear right?" Chris asked Cameron while holding a thumbtack that could potentially pop his bubble
Cameron nods his head
" Good, see you at the elimination Gaffers" Chris said
~ Boys Trailer~
Sammy pushes Cameron to his trailer
" You know Sammy you didn't have to do this" Cameron said
" It's okay, it's the least I can do after the obstacle course" Sammy said
"Thanks!... I'll go inside now" Cameron said
" Don't you wanna stay and talk for a bit?" Sammy asked
"No.. I'll go heal." Cameron said
Cameron tried going into the trailer but his bubble wouldn't fit
" A little help?" Cameron asked
" Sure thing!" Sammy said
Sammy shoved Cameron's bubble into the trailer
A few crashing noises could be heard followed by a groan..
"Sorry!" Sammy said
~ Gilded Chris Award Ceremony~
The Gaffers all sit at the bottom
"Welcome Gaffers! Second elimination in a row, you could say it was a DISASTER?" Chris said
Awkward silence...
" Yeesh it's like people don't know how to laugh anymore. Just get out your voting devices and vote someone off.." Chris said bored
Everyone took out their voting devices and voted for someone
Chef brought in a paper mache volcano and stuck his hand into it, revealing the results which he soon gave to Chris
" If you do not receive a Gilded Chris Award, you are not allowed to come back, EVER. Gilded Chris' go to..." Chris said
" Brick!"
"Dawn!"
"and Sammy!"
Chef threw to gilded Chris' at Brick, Dawn and Sammy
" Sky, your on the chopping block for lying to your team and being kind of a hypocrite if I say so myself" Chris said
"Can we move on?" Sky asked angrily
" Cameron, your on the chopping block for being absent for the second challenge" Chris said
" But the person going home is...….." Chris said
"..…"
"..…"
"..….."
"..…."
"..….."
"..…"
"..….."
"..…. Cameron!"
Chef threw a Gilded Chris at Sky
" What?! You guys voted for Cameron, but why?!" Sammy asked
" Sammy please don't get mad at them, I asked them to vote me off" Cameron said
"W-What?" Sammy said
" It was right after you helped me to my trailer" Cameron said
~ Flashback~
Cameron, Brick, Sky and Dawn all stood outside the trailers
" What do you want, Cameron?" Sky asked
" Just two things. One, vote for me at the next elimination ceremony. Two, don't tell Sammy about it" Cameron said
" You want us vote you off, but why?!" Brick asked
"When I was at the hospital, I overheard the doctors talking. They said it'd be weeks before I was fully healed. But by then the season would be over and I don't want to be a liability to you guys. So I say it's better to get me out now so I'm not in your way next challenge" Cameron said
" B-But.." Brick said
" It's okay, Brick. While I am a bit upset I won't get merge. I did prove all the people back home who thought I was going to go home first wrong! So that's something I guess..." Cameron said
Dawn put her hand on Cameron's bubble
"We will honor your wish, Cameron" Dawn said
The three Gaffers nodded as Chris turned on the loudspeaker
"OH GAFFERS, TIME FOR ELIMINATION!" Chris said on the loudspeaker
~ End Flashback~
" Even though I didn't stay for much longer this time around, this is been way better than sitting at home and reading books all day. So I wanna say thanks to everyone!... well except for Chris" Cameron said
" Hey!" Chris said
Everyone except Chris and Chef hugged Cameron's bubble
Sammy then helped Cameron to the lamo-sine
" I hope you get better soon, Cam" Sammy said
" Me too.. Oh I almost forgot to tell you!, I spent all of last night constructing a love letter that you can give to Brick, I gave to Dawn who agreed to put it under your bed" Cameron said
"Are you for real?! Ooohh thank you so much!" Sammy said as she hugged Cameron's bubble
Cameron then attempted to get inside the lamo-sine but couldn't do to his bubble
" One last push?" Cameron asked
"Sure thing" Sammy said
Sammy pushed Cameron's bubble into the lamo-sine. The lamo-sine soon drove off
GOODBYE CAMERON
CONFESSIONAL: SAMMY
" YESS! Now I can give this note to Brick, confessing my love!"
" This is just so perfect I could scream!"
Chris then walked into the confessional
" Will Sammy scream or will she lose it for her team?, And what will Brick do once he reads the letter? How will Sky handle being at the bottom of the popularity totem pole for all the lying she's done? Find out all of this and more on TOTAL DRAMA ACTION!" Chris said
" Did you really have to come in and say that?" Sammy asked
"Yes, Yes I did" Chris said
END CONFESSIONAL
~Bonus Scene: Cameron~
" I'll admit today definitely could've gone better but sometimes brains alone can't win you a million bucks" Cameron said
" If not the million bucks, I was hoping I could've became tough enough where I didn't need my bubble anymore." Cameron said
"... Wait the door feels loose did you remember to lock the door?" Cameron asked the chauffer
" Sir, I personally do not recall" The chauffer said
The door then swung open and Cameron went bouncing out
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Cameron screamed
That was Chapter Ten! If you enjoyed it as always then leave a review and slap some favorites on here
