The camera turned on to Chris sitting in a beach chair drinking a glass of juice. Footage from the previous episode began to play as Chris began the recap. "Previously on Total Drama All-Stars... it was open season on the teams as the challenge was our classic paintball deer hunter challenge! Vera had an unfortunate run in with the Zing Zings, which was unfortunate since we couldn't get it on camera! The Gophers lost the challenge, which resulted in a near unanimous vote against Dawn of all people! How did it happen? What are our campers in for today? Find out right here on Total Drama All-Stars!"
-Intro Plays-
-Confessional from Last Episode- Petunia
(Screws open the ballot box with the votes and took them out, replacing them with votes for Dawn) "Dawn needs to go right now. If she doesn't then she'll blow my cover! Is it the wrong thing to do? OF COURSE IT IS!"
-End Confessional-
The camera turns on to Noah entering the girls' Gopher cabin where he is greeted by a few odd looks and glares. "What are you doing in here?! This isn't your cabin!" Vera yelled.
Noah reached onto Dawn's bunk and grabbed her bag. "Just getting Dawn's stuff. Like you would care." Noah said as he left the cabin and began to head to the restrooms.
Once Noah left, Vera snickered to herself as she began to go through Mimi's bag. "What are you doing with Mimi's bag?" Maddie asked as she took notice of Vera rifling though the bag.
Vera pulled out all of Mimi's clothes in one big lump and grabbed a lighter from her own bag. "I'm just gonna set up a campfire... for heat. Yeah. Wanna help?" Vera asked back as she began to exit the cabin.
Vera and Maddie left the cabin and threw the clothes on the ground. Vera started a fire with her lighter and tossed it into the pile of clothes, setting them on fire instantly. "Mimi is in the showers right now, so wait 'till she comes back!" Vera laughed as she watched the clothes burn.
Noah entered the restroom and walked up to the stall where Mimi was taking her shower. "Hey, I brought you some spare clothes for the whole Vera thing. She's burning all your clothes right now. Come see me if you need more." Noah said as he took out a set of Dawn's clothes and placed them on the sink.
Mimi opened the stall door and reached for her towel, which was also taken by Vera. Mimi didn't even respond to this, she expected it. "Thanks Noah. I had a feeling she would do that." Mimi thanked as she grabbed Dawn's clothes and put them on. They fit just fine for Mimi who seemed to agree.
Noah just gave a thumbs up and walked back to his cabin. Once inside, he hid Dawn's bag under his bed. "That'll do for now." Noah said to himself.
-Confessional- Noah
"I might as well help out Mimi. With Dawn gone, I need to get another alliance member. I don't trust Petunia that much."
-End Confessional-
Mimi stepped outside of the restroom to see her pile of clothes burning in the fire. She only gave a small sigh and began to walk to the mess hall. Viola and Lily ran up to Mimi and noticed the frown on her face. "What's wrong Mimi? You've been looking like this for a while now." Viola asked.
Mimi looked over at Viola, "Nothing, nothing at all." Mimi lied in response and entered the door of the mess hall. She couldn't say anything at all. Who knows what Vera would have up her sleeve.
Petunia was already in the mess hall, sitting down and eating breakfast, which was just packs of croutons. Mimi and Viola sat down across from Petunia and didn't even bother getting some croutons. "Hey, where did you get that statue?" Mimi asked, noticing the demon statue hanging in a necklace around Petunia.
Petunia looked up and smiled, "I got it off Boney Island. I heard a voice from it or something, so I took it with me. NOW LEAVE ME ALONE." Petunia answered coldly, which surprised both Mimi and Viola.
Mimi snatched the statue from Petunia's necklace and put it in her pocket, "You weren't supposed to take anything from Boney Island! It would give you a curse Chris said. I'll go destroy this before anything bad happens." Mimi said as she began to head for the door.
Before Mimi could leave however, Petunia tackled Mimi to the ground and took the statue back. "Don't ever take this from me again. It's my good luck charm and I need it." Petunia said as she stood up and put the statue back in her necklace.
Mimi didn't have time to say anything however, as Chris entered the mess hall talked into a walkie-talkie, "All campers please report to the mess hall for information on today's challenge!" Chris shouted into the walkie-talkie, which then blasted through the intercom.
Within 5 minutes, everyone had entered the mess hall and sat down at their team's table. Two interns entered the room holding two containers with locks on them. Chris then began to speak about the challenge once the interns set the containers down. "Today's challenge is a game of find the key hidden somewhere on this island! It's quite simple, whichever team finds the key to the containers wins! There is only one key, so look fast! The team that wins not only gets immunity, but they also receive the contents of whatever is inside the containers!" Chris announced, getting quite a few people excited.
The two interns left and Chris took out a stopwatch. "If neither team finds the key within 4 hours, both teams will send someone home! If two people are being sent home, you know what that means! This is a double-death challenge! Whichever teams loses is voting off two campers tonight! Your time starts now!" Chris added as he pressed a button on his stopwatch and began the timer.
Everyone rushed out of the mess hall and grouped up with their teams. Courtney stood up on a rock to get all of the Bass' attention. "Attention team! For this challenge, we will all split up into groups of two and search for the key so we can cover more ground. Lizabeth, Rosa, you two take the shore. Jasmine, Valor, you two take the forest. Han, Junior, you guys will search the campground. Ezekiel and I will search along the river. Let's go team!" Courtney announced. No one bothered to object, since Courtney would never stop to get her way.
With the Gophers, Viola and Lily had already taken off into the woods. Everyone else had went their own separate ways into various spots on the island. Mimi had tried to get away from Vera and went into the woods. Popo was nowhere to be found on camera, and Noah went into his cabin and shut the door.
-Confessional- Mimi
"Okay, I wasn't really even looking the key. I've been trying to find the immunity idol and get Vera off my back for a while now. If we lose this challenge, I'm doomed, so I have four hours to find this idol."
-Confessional- Ezekiel
"I've been getting pretty lucky ay'e. Our team is doing great in challenges and I think the girls are starting to tolerate me. It's just Courtney I have some issues with. She really hates me ay'e, so I don't know why she partnered herself up with me. I'll give her another chance."
-End Confessionals-
Lizabeth and Rosa were both searching the beach, checking under rocks and such, when they came across a sandcastle in the middle of the beach with a small shovel next to it. "The key might be in here. We should destroy this castle and check." Rosa said as she looked down at the castle.
Lizabeth shook her head, "But it looks like it took a lot of effort to make. We should just leave it alone and look some more." Lizabeth said as she began to walk away.
Rosa kicked the sand castle over, but there was no key, much to her disappointment. "Yeah, there's no key in it. Let's keep going." Rosa said as she continued to walk.
Lizabeth turned around to see that Rosa had kicked down the sand, "I told you! You didn't need to knock it down!" Lizabeth shouted as she stormed back over to Rosa.
"Big deal, it's just a sand castle. It was gonna get washed away anyway." Rosa said as she walked right past Lizabeth and continued down the shore.
Courtney and Ezekiel were both strolling through the forest following the river to try and find the key. "Hey, Courtney. Why do you hate me ay'e?" Ezekiel asked as he looked up at the trees.
Courtney glared back at Ezekiel before continue to search the water for the key. "Zeke, I don't hate you, you are just so disgusting and sexist, that I can't stand to be around you." Courtney responded bluntly as the two continued upstream.
Ezekiel sighed, "They mean the same thing ay'e. You hate me. It's cool ay'e, just wanted to know why." Ezekiel said. Courtney didn't glare, but only gave a small frown back to Ezekiel.
Petunia was walking through the woods by herself looking for the key without putting much effort when she ran into Mimi who was still desperately searching for the key.
Petunia's right eye twitched once she saw Mimi and shook her head. "Not her... she knows." Petunia said to herself as she tried to turn around and walk away, but Mimi had already ran up to her.
"Er... hello Mimi." Petunia said as she tried to walk a little faster. Mimi kept up and tried to talk with her, "So, why did you tackle me earlier? Are you that obsessed with that statue?" Mimi asked.
Petunia kicked Mimi in the leg and continued moving on. "H-Hey! Why'd you do that!?" Mimi shouted as she tried to keep up with Petunia.
Petunia didn't answer and began to run away from Mimi while Mimi still tried to hold her leg from being in pain. "Come back!" Mimi cried out, but Petunia kept running and left Mimi behind.
-Confessional- Mimi
(Still holding leg in pain) "Why does everyone here seem to hate me!? I never did anything to anyone. Was it turning down Marx in season 2? I don't know honestly. Neither do I know where the other idol is. Wait..." (Looks underneath the toilet seat) "I found it! They hid in here! Now I can finally get Vera out of my life! Then Petunia is next."
-End Confessional-
Viola and Lily were searching the woods, as most of the Gophers were, and had no clue where to find the key. "Lily, where do you think Chris would have hidden that key?" Viola asked the bunny.
Lily shook her head and kept hopping forward. "It's okay if you don't know, I'm sure no one knows where that key is in the first place." Viola said reassuringly to Lily.
"I'm sure I'm the only one who knows where that key is in the first place." Noah said to himself as he left the cabin after figuring out where the key was.
Noah walked down the steps and headed over to the mess hall. "Yeah, they know exactly where it is." Noah confirmed with himself as he opened the door.
He poked his head in just to make sure no one else but the interns was there. Just as he thought, no one else was present. Noah walked up to Cole, the intern watching the locked container and handed him a five dollar bill. "Do you think you can tell me where the key is?" Noah asked.
Cole nodded his head. He whispered into Noah's ear, before Noah darted out of the room entirely. The interns weren't allowed to speak, so Cole had to keep quiet. "The top of the cliff where our first challenge was. I still need to hurry though." Noah thought to himself as he began to run through the woods to the cliff.
Noah had to run quickly because as Cole had told him, Han and Junior were about to reach that cliff according to the footage, which indeed they were. Junior and Han were both casually walking, looking in both directions for the key as they walked. "Any sign of the key?" Han asked, still finding nothing.
"I haven't found a thing. I guess the only place left is that cliff. Courtney and Zeke got the river, so we only have there." Junior answered as the two began to walk up the hill to the cliff.
Their walking was interrupted by Noah, who went right between them and pushed both of them over. Han and Junior stood up and looked at Noah who was now about 20 yards ahead of them. "Hey! He's gonna get the key first! I have to beat him there!" Han shouted as he took off after Noah at a faster speed than Noah.
Junior fixed his cap and continued walking. "What if it isn't the key? Han?" Junior shouted out as he began to run after Han and Noah.
Noah noticed that Han was catching up to him and tried to run faster. He saw a rock lying on the ground and ran right past it to fake Han out. Noah slowly stopped running and looked over the cliff, where Han stopped right before him. "Huh. I guess the key isn't here. That means Mimi will find it. Good luck to you two." Noah said as he began to walk away from Han and the just arriving Junior.
Han and Junior both shrugged and began to leave the cliff as well. Noah hid behind a tree and waited for Han and Junior to leave before he came back out. Noah ran back over to the cliff and lifted up the rock he saw earlier. Sure enough, there was one golden, glistening key underneath it. Noah picked it up and began to run back to the mess hall, which would be a somewhat long run.
However, Junior spotted Noah with the key and pointed at Noah, "Hey! He has the key!" Junior shouted out, sending Noah into a small panic as he began to run faster and out of sight into the woods.
Han began to run after Noah, "I'll go after him, you intersect us at the mess hall!" Han instructed as he ran out of sight as well. Junior nodded and began to run straight through the woods to the mess hall.
After only five minutes, the mess hall came into view for both Han and Noah. Han was only a few feet behind Noah and still gaining on him. Noah knew he couldn't outrun Han, so he just stopping moving all together and went into a complete halt. Han skidded past Noah and tripped, falling down and letting Noah run off. "Thanks for stopping bud." Noah retorted before chuckling a bit as he ran off, at a bit of a slower pace.
Just as Noah arrived on the campground, Junior came running out of the woods as well in a full sprint to catch up to Noah. Junior's sprint still wasn't very fast and Noah entered the mess hall door and locked it. Junior pounded on the door, but it was shut. "Dang it Noah! But GG." Junior said as he walked away from the mess hall, knowing it was all over.
Noah walked over to the locked container and opened it with the key. Inside was a book titled, "The Autobiography of Chris McLean". Noah threw the book on the ground and stomped on it a few times for good measure. "Of course Chris would rip us off with something from a dollar store." Noah complained as he picked the damaged book up and opened it. He had reread almost all of the books he brought with him, so he might as well give this one a read.
Chef kicked down the door to the mess hall and let Chris enter, along with the rest of the campers. "Congratulations Noah! You have won the challenge for the Gophers, which means your team is safe from double elimination!" Chris announced as he patted Noah on the shoulder before pushing him out of the mess hall with the rest of the Gophers.
Chris then turned his focus on the Bass, where Valor and Jasmine had not yet returned. "Bass, you will be facing double elimination tonight for the second time, so good luck!" Chris said in a non-caring tone as he and Chef left the mess hall shortly after.
-Confessional- Lizabeth
"I'm voting for Rosa tonight. She did NOT need to kick the sandcastle over."
-Confessional- Han
"While I do congratulate Noah on pulling off the win, Rosa needs to go. I would vote Junior, but he actually contributes to the team at this point. Plus, the merge is coming up, and Junior and I are pretty good friends."
-Confessional- Courtney
"Ezekiel needs to leave. I hate him SO much. After World Tour, I lost all respect for him."
-Confessional- Rosa
"Tonight will be the night Junior finally goes. He isn't really helpful to the team."
-End Confessional-
Later that night, all of the Bass members had gathered around the campfire. There were eight members in the team, but Chris had a tray of only six marshmallows. "Campers, two of you will be going home tonight, If I call your name, you are safe for tonight." Chris said as he grabbed five of the marshmallows.
"Han, Lizabeth, Jasmine, Courtney, and Valor, you all received no votes." Chris said as he tossed the five their marshmallows.
Junior, Rosa, and Ezekiel all looked very nervous. The fire brewed in front of them, intensifying the atmosphere. Chris held up the last marshmallow. "The final marshmallow of the night goes to...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...Ezekiel."
Ezekiel was just as shocked as everyone else. "Me? I'm safe?" Ezekiel sputtered out. Chris nodded his head, "Did I stutter? No. You are safe dude." Chris said as he tossed Ezekiel the marshmallow.
Rosa was unable to speak as she stood up and stomped the ground. Junior stood up as well and looked over at Han. "If it makes you feel better, I didn't vote for you." Han said. Junior put his head down and sighed. It was game over for him.
Rosa stormed away and headed towards the boat of losers and no one really seemed to care. As Junior walked away though, Han, Valor, Ezekiel, and Jasmine all held up their hands for high-fives. Junior gave them all a good high five before walking away. "See you guys. It was fun to get to know you all. Good luck Han!" Junior said as he waved good bye and headed down the dock to join Rosa at the boat of losers.
Sorry this chapter took so long to get out. It was report card season, so I had to get some stuff done before this. Anyway, I was considering taking out Vera and Lily this chapter and letting Junior intersect Noah, but I decided not. Vera and Valor are the only antagonists right now, and Valor is more of jerk but still a good guy. So Vera will stick around a little longer. Rosa did not really have a plot and neither did Junior. I debated getting rid of Courtney instead of Junior, but she still had her Ezekiel plot going on, so Junior got the axe. Junior's only real purpose was to play off Han on act as a bit of a sidekick, so I tried to show that. Who do you want to see gone next? And who has the other immunity idol? Leave your answers in the reviews and have a nice day!
