Total Drama: Action Stars Island Tour

by Alexander J McCarty

After the success of Don's Ridonculous Race, Chris decides to upstage him by hosting a new competition. The victims are divided into 12 teams of 3 like-minded players. The veteran players will compete for 26 episodes with challenges based on movies, anime and video games. 36 players (from all TD gens and RR) will fight on 3 familiar islands for reality TV glory & 2 million dollars!

10. Chapter 10

Episode 10: Rap Your Head Around This!

"Last time on Total Drama: Action Stars Island Tour. The victims were placed in a virtual reality world called the Matriception. Things really heated up when the players had to break in each other's bases. The Goths protected Ella from becoming a successful emo, until Mal showed up and brought her back by literally absorbing her negativity with a kiss. Justin and Jacques became a couple, ironically leading to Jacques penetrating his chest with a lance, also ironically winning their team the second place spot! Haha! Good times. Duncan and Gwen got even closer and so did Sky and Jo, whose couple name is officially called Sko. Josee went more psycho than usual before being taken down by the zombie survivalist. But in the end it was Kitty who caused the most surprises. Apparently by being a girl gamer, she was able to break the game, taking over three forts with her gamer rage and winning first place for her team. Eventually Sugar was tipped off, falsely I might add, that Scarlett was Owen's original girlfriend, causing her to try and kill her own alliance member. This led to her elimination, and since Owen was left without a teammate he was sent home too. But because I was craving some more drama and because they kept Ella from offing herself, I decided to give Crimson a less than pleasant goodbye. But that's not all, because each eliminated player got to vote out a judge, Geoff was also sent packing. Too bad he couldn't have left in tears because he was too busy locking tongues with the surfer girl who literally had sex with Alejandro during the challenge. Whatever, I'm not going to let it get to me because today's challenge is going to be awesome! Who will be sent home in another gruesome elimination ceremony, find out right here, right now on Total Drama Action Stars Island Tour!"

As pop music plays, camera's pop out of from the corners of bathrooms, behind wooly beavers, mutant cockroaches and from the mouths of robot crocodiles. Topher marks the cut before the camera pans over Bony Island. We see Chris sitting in a chair and petting Clucky.

"Dear mom and dad I'm doing fine." Camera zooms in on the skull of Bony Island.

"You guys are on my mind." The angle leaps off to the ground below.

"You asked me what I wanted to be." Underground we see Ennui searching coffins, alongside Beardo, before Josee jumps in front of them and waves at the camera to her fans. "And now I think the answer is plain to see." Scarlett, wearing the animal control device, walks by and smiles before there is an explosion deeper in the cave. "I want to be famous." Scott flies by and Dave points and laughs at the burn victim.

The smoke clears and Dawn is seated with D.J., meditating on the beach together. Bridgette is surfing and Ella is building a castle. "I want to live close to the sun." Dawn is meditating with her Spud headphones on, trying to ignore Staci. Dawn peeks out from her meditation and smiles at Ella.

"Go pack your bags 'cause I've already won." Duncan laughs at their plight, getting an angry look from Gwen. Trent is playing his guitar to soothe Gwen while Heather is applying nail polish. "Everything to prove nothing in my way." Ryan runs by with his team and Chef. Lightning hits Trent aside and kisses his lucky totem before a swarm of mutant cockroaches attack.

"I'll get there one day." The swarm clears and we see Cody looking at Gwen solemnly from a tower window. Cameron is creating an automated turret while Kitty takes pictures of it, wearing her X-ray glasses. Dwayne tries to remove the jellyfish clinging to his body while Don narrates his struggle. "Cause I want to be famous!" Alejandro is piloting a Justin mecha. After getting advice from someone on his ear piece, he smashes the top of the tower. Jacques leaps down the arm of the robot while Justin stands at the head, seducing birds to swoop in and attack the enemy contestants.

"Na na na na na na na!" Chef, Don, Lindsey and Topher look at the campers through T.V. monitors and each give out a different score, except for Lindsey who is applying make-up (8, 4, 6, 9). "Na na na na na na na na!" We switch to Clucky repeatedly stepping on the trigger and electrocuting Vito, Sierra and Izzy. While Vito tries to stay suave despite incredible pain, Sierra is trying to yank off her collar and Izzy has her tongue stuck out and her eyes in a daze, clenching a sack of patato's to her chest with her head rested on a smiley face pillow.

"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous. I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous." Courtney is making plans while Emma and Noah are making out. Stephanie is wresting MacArthur for her wheelchair. Jo runs by alongside Eva, carrying Sky and stepping on the other team's strategy chart.

Whistling of 'I wanna be, I wanna be famous is heard. Shaun and Jasmine kiss at the campfire and Zoey, wearing her Mike necklace, swoops into the center from the background. Camera zooms completely out to show four different islands, each with their own logo. Then the logo Total Drama Action Stars Island Tour appears in the center, surrounded by thirteen different flags.

"Before we begin this week's totally awesome episode, I would like to reveal Spud, Owen and Sugar's audition tapes!" exclaimed Chris.

A small camera with legs crawls onto a water bed and zaps Spud. He slowly opens his eyes and eventually acknowledges the shock. "Ow." He collapses. Chef then opens the window and tosses him onto a patient rack before carting him off into the ambulance.

A hidden camera spots Owen looking at a suspicious bottle on the table. He picks it up, chugs the whole thing and collapses. Chef and Chris are heard chuckling. They then bring in a fork lift to take the boy away in the night.

Sugar is watching a beauty pageant on her retro TV at the farmhouse. She smacks her neck when something bites her. A second dart hits her back, making her turn around. She spots Chef. He drops the blow gun as she rushes at him, bursting through the window. Chris fires a shotgun of tranquilizers into the blond behemoth's back. Chris and Chef hug when the beast is felled. They break the hug and whistle away the awkwardness.

"There you have it. Their audition tapes," said Chris with a big smile.

"Looks more like kidnappings to me," said Don with a nervous look.

"I liked them," said Eva with a smile.

"Yeah, so now that Geoff is gone, Eva will be permanently taking his place. Moving along. Through the remarkable teamwork of Don, Chef and Scarlett's special machinery, everyone has been released from the infirmary! Let's see what they are doing." Chris points to the side, signaling the camera to change focus.

Team Evil walk to their cabin ominously.

"We should target the Goths while they are weak!" yelled Josee.

"Or we could target the male models who pranked us," said Scott, practicing jabs with his freshly carved wooden knife.

"I'll let you two figure that out. I'll meet you back in the base shortly," said Scarlett before walking off.

"Keep an eye on her," whispered Josee in the ginger boy's ear.

Scarlett approached Sky. "Uh, hi there," she said, awkwardly waving.

"Oh, uh, hi," said Sky, scratching her head.

"I owe you an explanation," said Scarlett.

"For why you kept us in the game?" asked Sky.

"No, for what happened in Pakitew."

"Oh," said Sky, taking a step back.

"I wasn't really going to kill everyone. I have nothing to gain from that. I just wanted to win, no matter what. The college I want to go to is really expensive," said Scarlett.

"Any reason you freaked out and went psycho?"

"Being around Max, reminded me of being around my little brother. I kept the rage inside me for too long and I guess I just lost it."

Sky smiles. "I accept your apology. And honestly I'm impressed by your dedication to winning."

Jo comes out from behind a tree, stretching out her now healed arm. "Are you kidding me? She put your life in danger. Do it again brainiac and you'll learn about something you don't find in text books." The jockette slams her fist into her own palm. "Pain!"

"Jo's just being protective. Don't mind her," said Sky with flushed cheeks.

"Be careful, there are those who will use that chemical attraction against you," said Scarlett.

"Is that a threat?" asked Jo, getting up in the nerdling's face.

"It's a warning. Look, I saved your team from elimination right?"

"Yeah, she did," said Sky, pulling Jo back.

"Well, there's one thing my team lacks and that's well a good leader. If we have an alliance, then I'm sure you can bring everyone in line," said Scarlett with a casual smile.

"Sure!" exclaimed Jo, offering her hand.

Sky lowered her partner's arm. "We'll surely consider it. Will you excuse us?" The Olympian in training pulled aside her brash leader. "It's not just Scarlett. Josee and Scott would be joining us too. I think we should meet them, have them over and ask everyone if they think an alliance is best. Plus we're already allied with the Survivors."

"Yeah, but joining with Scarlett means she's one less person targeting us. Besides her team has a low ranking. We can take them down later, no problem," said Jo, patting Sky's back.

"I was thinking you should get to know my allies first," said Scarlett, gesturing to Scott and Josee.

C "That glasses wearing demon electrocuted us so we'd show up. If she's such a genius can't she invent a working phone?" asked Josee.

"Right this way," said Sky, opening the door to their cabin.

MacArthur was inside, practicing her aim by spitting on a self-made dart board. "Greetings ladies," she said, tipping her hat.

"I'm going to be frank here. Scott is a total moron. He got rid of the best players on his team," said Jo.

"Hey! What I make up for in intelligence I lack in stupidity," said Scott with a proud grin.

"Ha! This guy's a riot," said MacArthur, holding her sides.

"He's a coward. You don't sabotage the competition. You overcome it," said Jo, punching a pillow hanging like a sandbag.

"I suppose I'll start the introductions. I'm Josee, an Olympic ice dancer!"

"Wait, you were in the Olympics?" asked Sky with wide eyes.

"Certainly," said Josee, gliding across the room.

"Incredible! I want to be in the Olympics too, but for gymnastics."

Josee looked Sky up and down. She grabbed her face and looked into her eyes.

"Hey hands off, Corella De Villainous," said Jo, shoving the creep off.

"You have the determination. Reminds me of myself when I was…"

"Not an old hag?" asked MacArthur.

"Less experienced," said Josee, putting her nose in the air.

"Thanks," said Sky with a smile.

"6:00 AM every morning. Never late. No exceptions. If you can keep up with my lessons, I'll take you in as my student," said Josee with a smile.

C "Do you have any idea how expensive lessons like these are? And she's offering them for free. Josee is so nice!" exclaimed Sky.

Sky bowed her head, moved to tears. "I'll be there. Thanks so much."

"You should be thankful. Now, let's be real here Scarlett. This isn't a good team to team up with. There's a certain cadet that cannot be trusted," hissed MacArthur, pointing at her nemesis.

"I'm a chief and you're the one who can't be trusted," said MacArthur.

"And I don't trust Scott. At all," said Jo with a glare.

"Well, if you'll leave keeping Scott in line to me and you keep MacArthur in line, then there's really no problems, are there?" asked Scarlett, zapping the red head boy with the press of a button.

"Fine. But I'm not shaking her filthy hand," said MacArthur.

"Ugh. Even the idea disgusts me," said Josee.

"Oh, uh Scarlett, me and Josee were in the middle of something before you interrupted us," said Scott.

"You were going after Alejandro for pranking you, right?" asked Scarlett.

Scott jumped back. "Are you wearing a mind reading device?"

"Common sense. And it's also obvious that the one who actually pranked you was Duncan," said Scarlett, looking at MacArthur from the corner of her eye.

"Yeah! Yeah! That sneaky handsome beast!" exclaimed MacArthur.

Jo blew her whistle. "Attention! You have two options. Go after Duncan, and become team Triangle's new target. Or suck it up!"

"Don't hurt me!" yelled Scott, hiding under the pillow.

"You're right. Best to get revenge during the next challenge," said Josee with a wicked look.

The teams covered their ears as the speakers screeched. "Attention contestants, in preparation for the next challenge, I will be creating two new rules. One: You can't be in two separate alliances. So Nature Lovers, figure out whether you want to be in Rain Cloud of Gaia's Arrow. Rule number two. One cabin per alliance. You have ten minutes to meet at one cabin, the other cabins will be shut down is that understood?"

"I'll go fetch my things," said Scarlett.

"I'll go with you and help," said Sky, leaving with her new ally.

"I'll be back shortly. MacArthur you're in charge while I'm out," said Jo.

"I'm always in change," said MacArthur, polishing her badge.

Team Handsome remove the cucumbers from their faces and begin blow-drying their hair.

"Now that were looking fab, again. Let's discuss strategy," said Justin.

Jacques fell to his savior's feet and kissed them. "I feel wretched for killing you. I swear, I only did it to keep you out of that caramel control freak's grasp!"

"You love me, no harm done," said Justin with a smile.

C "Yeah, I'm honestly not sure who I want out more at this point. Alejandro is ruining the team but Jacques might actually kill me. Either way, I just have to make sure it's not me going home."

"By the way, my compadres, we are now the second highest ranked team," said Alejandro, revealing a chart he made with lipstick.

"We also got a worthless second place prize," said Jacques.

"Yeah, does this thing even work?" asked Justin, tapping the ear piece.

"Yes it works," said Noah on the other side.

"Let me talk to him," said Alejandro, pulling out the earpiece from Justin's ear. "Noah, I never got to apologize for what happened in London."

"Oh yes, I'd love to hear how I deserved to go home after winning the challenge for my team. Save me the sob story, Aleheinous. Now look, I'd much rather it be another team that got this prize, but it isn't. From now on you two can contact me once per challenge day. I give out hints and stuff. Here's my first hint: whack Don upside the head. Just to be clear that' no N. That's your Noah's Note for today. Bye and don't call me back. I've got a date later."

"What kind of hint is that? Hurting Don won't help us in the challenge," said Jacques.

"Well Duncan got points in the second challenge for harming him," said Justin.

"You're all misunderstanding the hint." Alejandro goes to the Don Box they won in the first challenge and pressed the button. Nothing came out. He smacked the box across the face. A travel tip slid out the box's mouth.

"What does it say?" asked Jacques.

"Beneath the tree, by the place we eat, you will see something neat," said Alejandro.

"Justin, let's go! Alejandro, you should go seduce the competition. We need an alliance like Josee needs anger management," said Jacques, pulling Justin along.

Once the two men left there was a knock at the door.

Alejandro answered to see Jo. "What do I owe the pleasure? Such a lovely lady such as your…"

Jo closed the door on his fingers.

"Conyo!" yelled Alejandro, pulling his fingers back.

"Cut the crap, Cassanoheart. You don't like me and I don't like you."

"What have I ever done to you?" asked Alejandro, sucking his injured fingers.

"You have something I want."

"Surely you don't think I was the one who pulled that childish prank."

"I don't care. I want my alarm clock back."

"You mean Brick's alarm clock. Turns out he had a crush on you and I can hardly blame him you're so…"

Jo grabs Alejandro's neck. "Shut up and give it to me. Oh and stay away from Sky or you'll be walking on your hands for the rest of your life."

Alejandro smirked as she choked him. "Help!"

Sky approaches. "Jo! Let go of him!"

Jo released him. "What? He's fine."

Alejandro fell to the ground, holding his head.

Sky crouched down and helped him up. "Are you ok?"

C "Absolutely fine but she was none the wiser," said Alejandro with a smile.

"Jo, you really hurt him," said Sky.

"Whatever." Jo went into the cabin and ransacked it, searching for the clock.

Alejandro coughed. "Fortune smiles upon me. To be saved by someone so beautiful."

"Thanks, but I'm already with someone," said Sky with a blush.

"She is very fortunate to have you. Sky, be strong ok? Don't let anyone make you compromise on your principles. Your true beauty is in your kind and graceful spirit," he said, holding her cheek.

"I've uh got to…training! Josee is giving me some tips. Did you know she's an Olympic ice dancer?"

"Yes a silver champion. I myself got gold when I entered my country's skating Olympics. I could give you some pointers."

"I'll have to put down the temptation, the offer I mean. But thanks. I'll see you around," she said, pulling back.

C "Alejandro thinks he can play me, but I'm not the same gullible girl I once was. He just gave me a bit of information that can turn Josee and Jacques against him. But I'm not mean. I'll only reveal it if he tries to hurt Jo. My team! I'm protecting my team," said Sky, blushing.

Team Muscle, having lost their alliance, take their time heading back to the cabin.

"Smoogily bear!" exclaimed Stephanie, leaping into a tackle hug with Ryan.

"How's my chocolate sunset?" asked Ryan with a smile.

"Well I'm still on the number one team. I only wish you could be with me."

"I wish it too, babe, but you don't need me to win. You're the most talented and beautiful woman on the planet."

"Remember when we first kissed?" asked Stephanie.

"Yeah. You were trying to make your ex-boyfriend jealous."

"Uhuh. It's the reason I dated you at first. To think a hateful decision led to so much love." Stephanie grabs him and the two make out.

"You're one of a kind, beautiful."

"And you're lucky to have me. Ok, so here's what I need you to do. Keep the Gamers in the game."

"Why?"

"You don't ask me why!" yelled Stephanie.

"Sorry. Ok, babe. I'll do my best."

"Good." She smiles.

"Good." He smiles back.

C "As long as Kitty is in the game, Emma is off hers. Now I know that seems like self-sabotage but I need to make sure Courtney keeps me in over her in case we lose," said Stephanie.

Lightning jogs up to them. "I need advice."

"Sure thing man," said Ryan.

"Well, Bridgette cheated on me a lot and now she's back with that party loser. I need a girl, sha-seriously," said Lightning.

"Go with someone who drives you crazy," said Stephanie.

"Or, go with someone who you already know," said Ryan.

"Sha-thanks! I know just who to ask," said Lightning before continuing his jog.

The Goths enter the Nature Lover's cabin.

"Oh, hello there," said Dawn, looking up from her morning meditation.

Ennui blinks.

"You heard what Chris said, right?" asked Bridgette, still Gothed up.

Ennui nods. "Go ahead. Drop us."

"Absolutely not. The Winners used us and then kind of forced us to join up with them. While you two joined us in our mission to spread veganism and win this season," said Dawn.

Loki looked around. His ears dropped.

"Sorry little guy. Ella just went out for a bit. Don't worry, she's not alone. She's with Mike," said Bridgette.

Loki growls but Ennui pats him and calms him.

"Life is a meaningless void. I accept that," said Ennui.

"We make our own meaning in life," said Dawn, eating a veggie ka bob.

"Life without Crimson hurts." Ennui's eyes watered up.

Loki hopped on his shoulder and nuzzled his friend's face.

Ennui smiles.

"Dawn, you go break off our alliance with the others. I'm going to give Ennui some company okay?" asked Bridgette.

"That's fine," said Dawn.

"Dawn. Stay away from Trent. You bring him…" Ennui's eyes widen. "Happiness."

Dawn giggles. "Yeah, I suppose I do. Sorry, but I can't leave him. Without me to support him he might seriously hurt himself or worse." Her face contorts with worry.

"Go to him," said Ennui before leaving with Bridgette.

Dawn goes to the Winner's cabin. She knocks and patiently waits for the door to open.

Duncan opens it. "Oh if it isn't the tooth fairy. You owe me for all the mouths I've busted up."

Gwen scoots in front of Duncan. "Ignore him. Welcome to the team base."

"Thanks." Dawn enters the room, seeing that pillows are on the ground and everyone on the other teams are present.

Trent smiles at Dawn and she takes a seat next to him.

"You can keep a secret right?" asked Courtney.

Dawn smiled.

"Good. Okay. So the three biggest threats are team Evil, the Underdogs and team Handsome. I already have Handsome subdued and have pitted the other two against each other. We need to decide on a target. Any suggestions?" asked Courtney, turning to Gwen.

"Wow, you're asking me. I don't know," said Gwen.

"Well, um there's something I should say," said Dawn quietly.

"We should target Muscle. I can't concentrate with Ryan in the game and I want to be the best teammate I can be," said Stephanie.

"That's surprisingly mature of you. But let's bring down one of the three person teams first," said Courtney.

"Well, that just leaves the Crazies," said Gwen.

"I think they'll destroy themselves. You know what, let's just let things play out. No targets. Oh and Dawn. Tell Bridgette it was her fault that we didn't place last round," said Courtney.

"Ok. Um, I have something to say…"

"Actually it was Noah who made us lose! That boy refused to help me when Ryan got us lost!" yelled Stephanie.

"You're probably just too thick-headed to understand his advice," said Emma.

"Don't you even start with me! Your love for your sister is going to make us lose," said Stephanie.

"I didn't even see Kitty last challenge," said Emma.

"Yeah, and that's the only reason why you didn't mess us up," said Stephanie.

Dawn stands up. "Stop arguing!" She takes a deep breath. "I'm sorry but I've decided to stay with the Goths," said the moonchild, keeping her gaze lowered.

"Wait, so you're not with us?" asked Gwen.

"I'm not against you either. It's just Chris said we can only be in one alliance and I can't just leave them without a partner," said Dawn.

"That's sweet. But be careful, that attitude will keep you from getting far. Just a friendly warning from a friend," said Courtney with a smile.

"Are you sure about this?" asked Trent.

Dawn nodded.

"Well then go. This meeting is for alliance members only. Oh and if you tell anyone our strategy, your team will be the target," said Courtney.

"I won't. I'm not like that," said Dawn before leaving the room.

Trent got up. "Hey, I'll walk you to your cabin. It isn't safe to travel alone."

Courtney smiled after Dawn left. "Actually we do have a target."

The Underdogs are unpleasantly surprised when they find their cabin locked down.

"Of course. Chris chose to close down our cabin. See, we're always the targets! It's because people view us as weak," said Cameron.

"You know ever since I got with Sierra, I've been feeling so strong and confident. I feel we can really win this season," said Cody with a big smile.

"Don't let your feelings make you arrogant."

"I'm not getting arrogant. So what's the plan? Are we going after Muscle?"

"Getting rid of Ryan would put Stephanie off her game, but we need to be sneaky."

"Like my totally awesome real life girlfriend?" asked Cody with a grin.

"Cody, I think you should hear this. I'm telling you as a friend okay. Sierra doesn't care about your happiness. She sees you as a possession."

"Dude, she remembered my birthday and volunteered to die so I could have a chance at winning."

"She's crazy about you but I don't think she loves you."

"Have you ever kissed a girl?"

"My first kiss was with a mutant fly. And yeah, I was shoved into kissing Courtney," said Cameron.

"Did you feel the sparks?" asked Cody.

"Sparks?"

"I can feel her love when she kisses me. You like Jo. I bet if you kissed her she would feel the sparks."

"I don't like her. And currently she's involved with Sky."

"I think Sierra might be the one. Should I take the next step?"

"That's illogical? She stalked me because she hallucinated that I was you!"

"That's just how much she loves me. Sierra is one of a kind."

"She's the one who caused the Drama Brothers to split."

"What are you talking about? Harold wanted to go solo."

"She put that idea into his head with her blogs. She posted the nude pictures to break you up and ruin your chance at fame. And I know why she did it too. She didn't like you having groupies. She's possessive, Cody. And as your friend I owe it to you to give you a warning."

"You have no proof."

"It's obvious. If she really wanted you to be happy wouldn't she have tried to hook you up with Gwen?"

Cody broke down into tears.

C "Romance destroys people in this show. I'm doing him a favor by nipping it in the bud."

"You're a ladies' man and Sierra hates that. She doesn't love you for who you are. She loves you for who she wants you to be. She was abusive toward Gwen just because you liked Gwen. Is that what a partner should be like. How was she ever your best friend?"

Cody sobs. "Go on ahead. I need to be alone."

C "Thanks Harold for the tip about Ella's deal with Gwen. Things are going all according to the plan. Once the two of them break up, Cody will realize I'm his true friend and the Crazies can go down. Both Sierra and Izzy, the two most insane people, will be gone. Sorry Mike, but you already won a season. More importantly, Jo will join my alliance and then all the villainous teams will fall one by one! They are fools for looking down on me! I am a Heroic Vulture who will prey on the villains whether hamsters or vultures. The Underdogs will win this year. Muhahahahahahaha!" Cameron cackled evilly.

"Harold! My office now! You have some explaining to do!" hollered Chris. "And while I penalize the Geek for information leaks, let's skip to some juicy nighttime rendezvous," said the thirsty host with wide eyes.

Kitty is playing Tetris with an intense look on her face.

"Hey, uh. Let's get to bed early," said Junior.

"I'm not done," said Kitty, destroying a blockade and coming closer to a high score.

"There might be a challenge early in the morning. I think it's important to get rest or else we might lose."

The Game Over screen flashed. Kitty slammed her controller to the ground. "We are not losing!"

"Is everything ok?" asked Junior, hiding behind a pillow.

"I…" Kitty broke down in tears. "I miss my sister! None of my epic selfies in the VR world saved. And now we're a target and it's all my fault."

"Hey, we're still in the game. We can win this. But I think we could use an alliance," said Dwayne.

"See? Even you don't think we can win it on our own."

"Alliances are more important now. We could try to join Ryan's team. Aren't you two friends?"

"We're staying solo. Got it?"

"Yeah. Ok."

"Good."

"I feel kind of bad for Ella. She just wanted a friend."

Kitty's eyes widened. "Oooh. Do you like her?" She leaned in close to his face.

Dwayne blushed.

"You do like her!"

"I've never had a girlfriend. I tried once with Carrie, but she was taken. Honestly, I'm not sure if a girl would even like me."

Kitty pinched his cheek. "You're cute and sweet."

"But is that enough? I mean what do you look for in a partner?"

"Well she has to bold, intelligent, beautiful, dedicated and fun to tease," said Kitty with a grin.

"She? Well what about a guy?"

"Me? Well they have to be funny, fun, nice, cute, honest and loving. I'd preferably like a gamer as a partner."

Dwayne's eyes lit up. "So I'm uh, datable."

"For sure," said Kitty, slugging him.

"How do you confess to a girl though?"

Kitty leaned into him. "Go ahead. Practice with me."

"Oh ok." Dwayne steadied himself. "Well, we've been friends for a while now. And you're really cute and fun. You're nice to me and you make me happy. I like being with you and I'd like to spend even more time together. Will you be my girlfriend?" he asked, his face lighting up like a tomato filled with fireworks.

Kitty suddenly embraced him. "Yeah. Just like that."

C "I can't go through that again. Is she really that clueless that I like her?" asked Dwayne in tears.

C "Dwella. Aww, even the ship name is cute. I'm going to take sooo many pictures of them," said Kitty, snapping a selfie.

There was a knock at the door.

Dwayne answered, trying to keep Kitty from seeing his flushed cheeks. It was Zoey, covering her head under a hood made from leaves. "How can I help you?"

"Jo dropped us and joined Scarlett. And well we almost lost last round because we didn't have anyone to help us. I was hoping you would make an alliance with us," said Zoey.

"Sorry but…"

Kitty slid off the bed and rushed to Zoey. "Offer accepted," she said, shaking Zoey's hand.

"Wait, really?" asked Dwayne.

"Well, I thought about what you said and she needs us so…yeah! Hmm. We need an alliance name," said Kitty.

"Don't worry, I've got that covered," said Chris, sipping tea. "Hey, isn't Ella supposed to be here?"

Ella knocks on the window of Handsome's cabin.

Alejandro notices her, smiles and then meets her outside. "To what do I owe the pleasure?"

"I need your help."

"Well then I am your servant," he said with a bow.

"Kitty is nice and Dwayne is very sweet. They are good players. Can you make sure they lose?" asked Ella, scratching her arms.

C "Okay seriously? When did the princess go loco?" asked Alejandro.

"I'm sorry. Can you explain?" asked Alejandro, doing a double take.

"Please, just make them lose. Can you?"

"I'm sorry, but I feel wrong attacking them without reason."

"I can't say any more." Ella ran off.

"Well that was interesting. Nice to see the Princess finally cause some drama. Speaking of the sexy songstress."

Ella walks into the room, lowering her head in shame. "Yes, father?"

"It's daddy. Now be a good little girl and massage my back," said Chris, lying down and removing his clothes.

"O-okay," said Ella softly. She sat on top of him and rubbed his shoulders.

"Oh yeah, this is the life. Now let's see what Gwen is doing out in the middle of the night."

Gwen knocks on the Underdog's door.

Cody answers. "Duncan, that better not be you," he said, clenching his fist. He opened it but saw nobody. When he stepped outside he saw Gwen, signaling him to stay quiet.

He closed the door. "Did something happen? Are you ok?"

"Yeah. I'm fine. Look. I have something to say to you. You're a great friend to me, Cody. You've been there for me when no-one else was. Sure you were kind of a creeper when we first met, but you stopped that and I pushed you away because you reminded me of my little brother. I'm sorry for taking you for granted okay. Ella made me realize how unfair I've been to you. I'm happy you have a girlfriend but I feel I at least owe you this much." Gwen grabs his face and pulls him into a kiss.

Cody's eyes widen. He then smiles as he kisses back.

C "Gwen kissed me!" he looks at the camera in a blissful daze.

"Enjoy the date, okay," said Gwen, blushing a bit.

"Yeah! You're beautiful," said Cody.

"Oooooh. Someone has been very naughty," said Chris with wide-eyes.

"That was so sweet," said Ella, holding her clenched hands to her face as she swooned.

"Hey. Less talking more massaging," said Chris, whacking her leg.

"As you wish, Daddy," said Ella with a smile.

C "My real parents were always supportive of me and my dreams of becoming a songstress. It wasn't until I moved out on my own, that I realized just how cruel the real world can be. But now I'm a sheltered princess once more! And I have a prince and a king to defend me!"

"That's a good girl. Now, let's see what other crazy things are going on? Because if you're here. That means Mal isn't."

Vito, Izzy and Sierra meet up outside.

"So, what's our plan of action?" asked Izzy, miming a gun and shooting at the stars.

"Well, I have a date shortly so let's make this quick," said Sierra.

"You mean with Cody. Still can't believe the rat hooked up with you just for an alliance," said Vito.

"He what?" asked Sierra.

"Oh, you didn't know? Zoey told me all about it. He's a nasty fella."

C "Okay. So what does Vito get out of lying to me? Like is he actually trying to sabotage the alliance. Wait, it's Vito, he probably wants me. Well too bad! Cody is the only one for me!" yelled Sierra.

"Zoey is going down!" yelled Sierra, storming off.

"More tea Sasha?" asked Izzy, offering a drink to her baggy buddy. "Well sorry. No need to be rude." She stares at the pillow. "Well we don't have coffee!"

"Hey, uh where's the other one?" asked Vito.

"Oh, you mean Elizabeth. She went out for a stroll…two hours ago!" Izzy runs off in a desperate search for her pillow pal. "Elizabeth!"

C "That was easy. Now to find Zoey," said Mal, rubbing his palms together.

"That's it. Rub my butt," said Chris to Ella.

Ella started crying.

"Are you crying? Stop crying. You'll make me cry."

C Chris sobs in the confessional. "Why does everyone pick on her?" He then breaks out into laughter.

"I haven't bonded with father since I left home."

"That's sweet but nobody cares. Now use your elbows."

Cody, holding an assortment of flowers meets up with Sierra on the hillside.

She squeals when she sees him but suddenly stops when she looks into his eyes. "What happened?"

"I guess there's no hiding anything from you," said Cody with a forced smile.

"Come here. Momma bird will make it all better," she said, holding him to her chest.

"I've been thinking about us and…what we mean to eachother," said Cody, holding her hand.

"I'd die for you! You know that," she said, kissing his forehead repeatedly.

"Yeah. I do. Hey, remember back when you posted those nude photos of the Drama Brothers online. That led to us breaking apart. Did you plan that?" asked Cody, a bit of rage entering his usually docile voice.

Sierra was dumbstruck. "Um, I was just so obsessed and wanted to spread some juicy gossip. I never meant to hurt you."

"So it didn't bother you at all that I had all those groupies?" asked Cody.

"Well, I wouldn't say that. But just because I wanted you all to myself doesn't mean I'd ruin your happiness. Your joy is my joy," said Sierra, hugging her Cody bear tightly.

"Wow. You're so incredible. Oh and I was hoping that maybe you and Gwen could be friends. Is that ok?" asked Cody.

"Whatever my future hubby wants," said Sierra, petting him affectionately.

"Honestly, I still like Gwen. But I'm really falling for you." He leaned in and kissed her lips. "Will you be my girlfriend forever?"

"Eeeeeee!" Sierra kissed his lips repeatedly like a machine gun. "Of course I will."

"Well, I promised you a night out stargazing. Let's get this date started," said Cody, putting his arm around her shoulder.

Sierra grabbed his face and made out with him.

Cody jumped at first but gradually adjusted and kissed back.

"True love. Isn't it magical?" asked Ella.

"Not as magical as your fingers. You're surprisingly good at this," said Chris.

"Well, the servants would often massage me and I happily returned the favor for them."

"Hot as Aphrodite and rich. Say, you wouldn't happen to be looking for a husbando, would you?" asked Chris.

There's a flash of lightning and Chris notices a dark figure.

"Who's there!?" He gets up, grabbing onto Chef's machete.

Chris is swept off his feet. When he looks up, the machete is pointed at him.

"What are you doing with my princess?" asked Mal.

"What me? Nothing. We were just uh, you know girl talk," said Chris nervously.

"Husband?" Mal raises the machete.

"Whoa, dude chill! It's not like I'm forcing her."

Ella approached her prince. "It's true. Chris just said that I had to come here every night or he wouldn't help me."

"Oh really?" Mal turned to Chris with a grin and raised the machete.

Black screen.

The contestants wake up, dressed in ancient Japanese attire.

"Attention! Listen up maggots. Chris is on vacation so you have to follow my orders. Get your butts ready because things are going to get bloody," said Chef with a grin.

"At least we're with our alliance," said Dwayne, smiling at Zoey.

"Yeah, let's win this!" cheered Zoey.

Chef's laughing rang through the area like a demonic god. "There's a reason for that. In truth there are only two headbands of legend: the number two and the number one. To challenge the number one, that would be me, you need the number two headband. Heheh. The rules are simple. Use any means, weapons, the environment, your bare hands, to terminate the other team members of your alliance. Only the victorious teams will get a chance at the number two. Muscle, Handsome. Your teams automatically move on to the next round."

"Splendid," said Alejandro with a grin.

"Sha-victory!" cheered Lightning, slamming his chest into Ryan's.

"Don't get cocky boys! You might want to do a warm up while the others are busy. Team Dead Aim, that's the name Chris chose for the Survivors and Gamers. One of you gonna end up chopped up like Chef's yum yum happy go time fish tails! They're delicious! You should buy them. I said buy them!" yelled Chef to the camera.

Kitty and Dwayne wander along a path in a bamboo forest.

"These trees are real. Which means…"

"We're in virtual reality again. Which means no pictures," said Kitty, her shoulders dropping.

"It also means you can make things like last time? Give us some guns," said Dwayne.

"I'm trying, but it's not working. I think there were limitations put in the programming this time," said Kitty.

An arrow zooms past them and hits a nearby tree.

"Not good! Take cover!" yelled Dwayne, leaping in front of her before the next volley came.

Four arrows pierced his back.

"That's odd. Why doesn't this hurt?" asked Dwayne, blood gushing out from his back like a fountain.

"That's because Chris is no longer the number one. My justice isn't quite so… sadistic," said Chef.

Jasmine suddenly came swinging into combat, holding a bamboo sword.

"Run!" yelled Dwayne.

Kitty picked up a rock and tossed it at Jasmine.

Zoey came from behind them. "Sorry about this but we can't afford to lose." She raised her bow. The amazon warrior sighed and lowered it. "I can't do this."

"I can." Jasmine slammed her bamboo sword into Dwayne's kneck, shattering the bone.

She then threw the sword into Kitty's back as she fled.

The outback explorer ran into Kitty, tore out the weapon and then sliced off her head.

Blood sprayed out like a fountain.

Jasmine smiled, her face covered in red. "Looks like we won."

"The Survivors are victorious. Next up is the Underminers alliance. Make me proud and don't worry, this challenge is designed to be extra bloody."

Cody and Cameron appeared at the front section of a bridge. On the other side was team Crazy.

"Don't worry, bro. There's no way Sierra would ever hurt me. We've got this challenge in the bag," said Cody, snapping his fingers.

"Yeah. If anyone hurts my boyfriend, they will die irl!" yelled Sierra.

Chef's chuckling shook the bridge. "Attention campers. We interrupt your regular scheduled programming for a special video announcement."

The sky is filled with various screens, all repeatedly showing Gwen kissing Cody and Cody kissing back.

"Wait Sierra, I can explain!" yelled Cody as she came rushing toward them at full fury.

"We need to destroy the bridge now!" yelled Cameron.

"And hurt the love of my life, no way!" yelled Cody.

"Fine, then pick me up and run," said Cameron, noticing she was already halfway across the bridge.

Cody lifted his ally and ran as fast as he could.

Sierra sped by, murder in her eyes. "Gwen!"

Izzy somersaulted in front of them. "Hey guys. Uh, still here. Let's fight," she said, going into a tiger stance.

"Gwen is in serious danger," said Cody.

"If I was youse guys, I'd be more worried about what's gonna happen to you," said Vito, joining up with his lady.

"I was thinking. Your team hasn't lost a round. We have. Our alliance will lose two people if Cody and I lose, but only one if your team loses. So, the logical course of action would be for you two to jump off the bridge," said Cameron.

"Sounds fun!" cheered Izzy, rushing toward the edge.

"Wait just a moment, toots. He's tryin ta trick ya. Sneaky little wimp." Vito punches Cody and grabs Cameron. "Alley oop." He lifts up the bubble boy and slams his knee into his spine.

"It's broken! I'm dying!" wailed Cameron in agony.

"Hey, wanna see something cool?" asked Izzy.

"Sure thing, toots," said Vito, lifting up Cameron.

Izzy launched Cody into the air with her foot. She then leaped up, wrapped her legs around his head.

"Hey, green suits you," said Cody nervously.

Izzy twisted her legs, snapped Cody's neck and tossed him overboard.

Vito flung the screaming boy off the side.

Izzy somersaulted into a kiss with Vito. "You like?" she asked, clawing at his bare chest.

"Hells yeah, babe," said Vito, spanking her butt and raising his eyebrows.

Chef's voice boomed out. "Victory to team Crazies. Now, y'all best get your butts moving because you still need to make it to the finish if you want a shot at the number two headband."

"Ugh, why would anyone want a silver headband?" asked Josee, holding her sides to keep warm.

"You need it to get the number one, or the Gold headband," said Scarlett, cleaning the fog off her glasses.

"You look so harmless without those," said Scott, snatching her specs.

"You mean like you were in that medical box?" asked Scarlett with a smile.

Scott nervously chuckles as he returns her glasses.

"So, where are our current safety bags?" asked Josee.

"Alliance members and they are likely further down the mountain," said Scarlett, pointing to the trees rustling.

"Should we surprise attack them?" asked Scott.

"This challenge was made to create tension between allies. I say we ignore them and travel up hill. As long as we make it to the end, we should be fine," said Scarlett.

"Well, I'm not risking it!" yelled Josee, running off.

"Do you guys see that?" asked Scott, pointing to a samurai warrior wearing a teddy bear helmet.

The bear was holding two swords and stood silently in the wind. "Where is Afro?" he asked, turning to face them.

"No idea what you're talking about," said Scarlett.

The bear man turned to them, raising his two swords and pointing them. "You're hiding him from me!"

Josee slid across the ice and kicked his arm aside. "Win us the gold! I'll keep him busy," she said, blocking his sword assault with a flurry of kicks.

"Catch," said Scott, tossing Josee a wooden knife.

The ice dancer caught the weapon with her toes and then plunged it into the swordsman's side.

Team Girl Power were scaling up the mountain.

"Yeah, that's it ladies. Use those glutes!" cheered MacArthur.

"Let's meet up with Scarlett and then plan accordingly," said Jo, smiling as she jogged side-by-side with Sky.

"You know, I really feel like we can win this," said Sky.

"Hold up." MacArthur shaped some snow in her hand. "Friendly fire!" she yelled, throwing the snowball at Josee.

"You're lucky that won't reach. Why are you attacking our…?" asked Jo.

The snowball hit Josee in the back, knocking off her kick's trajectory by a few inches.

The sword sliced off her leg.

The ice dancer fell, spraying blood everywhere.

"Whoops," said MacArthur with flushed cheeks.

"You idiot!" yelled Jo.

The bear man pierced Josee's heart and then ran toward team Girl Power.

"Not good," said Sky, searching for a sharp branch to use as a weapon.

"Don't worry. I'll handle this," said MacArthur, adjusting her pants. "Hey, teddy bear face, this is Chief MacArthur. Stand down or I will open fire. I repeat. Stand down."

The bear man kept up his pursuit.

"Why isn't he stopping?" asked MacArthur.

"Don't know, maybe because he's a psychotic killer!" yelled Jo.

"Alright. Then time to bring down the law!" MacArthur charged at the bear man.

"Jo, help me," said Sky, throwing snow balls at the approaching enemy.

"That won't do anything. You, me, let's go while he's fighting Chief piggy," said Jo.

"We can't just abandon her," said Sky.

"Our only chance at winning is to go now!" yelled Jo, lifting up Sky into her arms and running up hill.

The bear man turned and raced after the fleeing cowards. "Where is afro?"

"Hey! I'm over here!" MacArthur rammed into the suspicious male, getting punctured by a sword in the process.

The bear man lost his balance and toppled over. "That hurt. Gosh!"

"Well this is going to hurt a lot more!" MacArthur fired a tazer into the bear man, electrocuting him.

"Afro!" he yelled.

"Hey. The guy with the afro. He's at the top of the mountain." MacArthur took a few steps and then collapsed from blood loss.

"We have to go back for her," said Sky in tears.

Jo smacked her partner. "She's a goner and it's just VR. If we don't win, she could be going home so let's move it."

"I'm scared Jo," said Sky with watery eyes.

Jo kissed her. "Don't be. I'm here."

Chef blows his nose. "The winners of the mountain zone have been decided. And no, I'm not crying. Just ate something spicy. You got that!? Now, let's see who will emerge victorious from the Straight Arrow alliance."

Duncan is inside a sushi bar, setting up traps while Gwen paces around nervously.

Trent watches the windows for activity.

"Are we really going to fight Courtney?" asked Gwen.

"I don't hit girls, you know that and the other group just happens to be all girls. I set up some traps. We slow them down and then we make a break for it," said Duncan, littering the ground with broken glass.

"Gwen. I see a fireworks shop. Maybe we could get some," said Trent.

"You're on lookout. Gwen, go get the fireworks," said Duncan.

"Uh, okay. I'll be right back, okay?" asked Gwen.

"Absogwently," said Trent with a dazed gaze.

Gwen awkwardly smiled and then left.

Duncan approaches Trent with a broken bottle in his hand. "I thought you were leaving Gwen to me. What gives man?"

"Hey, calm down dude. It was a slip of the tongue," said Trent.

"Well your tongue better not slip into her mouth. Courtney is done with me so Gwen is all I have," said Duncan.

"Stop!"

"Don't you tell me to stop! I've been there for Gwen while you just run away and hurt yourself."

"Stop!"

"No you stop!"

"Shut up Duncan. The other team is coming here," said Trent.

Duncan grabs Trent by the collar. "They saw you?"

"I don't know," said Trent.

"Get behind the bar. And where the hell is Gwen?" asked Duncan.

Courtney tapped Gwen's shoulder, causing her to drop the fireworks. "Going shopping at a time like this?"

"You startled me."

"So, how are things with you and Duncan going?" asked Courtney, nudging her.

"They're going fine. We, uh, we really bonded last challenge," said Gwen.

"Awww, so it's more than just a sexual connection now. He had better be faithful to you. You deserve a guy who will treat you right," said Courtney.

Gwen blissfully smiled at her.

"What?"

"Oh, nothing. You're really sweet Courtney," said Gwen.

"I know. And I'm also dangerous." Courtney lit a sparkler and used it to ignite some bottle rockets.

The rockets zoomed into the bar window and exploded.

"Sorry, but my team doesn't have deadweight, plus you only have a one in five chance of losing," said Courtney.

"Trent!" yelled Gwen, running toward the building.

C "Trent? Urgh! I try so hard to give her Duncan and she's worried about Trent!" yelled Courtney.

Stephanie rushed into the burning bar, wielding a katana and fueled with rage. "We are not losing!" she yelled, slicing up the tables to find her targets. "Is that glass!?" she screamed as a jagged piece of glass pierced her foot.

Duncan flung a bottle into her head that shattered, blinding her. "You may not be able to feel pain, but you also can't see," said the delinquent, approaching her with a knife.

Outside the bar, Gwen found Trent's scorched body.

"Are you okay?" she asked in tears.

"Hey, there. Don't mess up that pretty face. It's just a game. I'll be fine. Doesn't even hurt," said Trent.

"Sorry Courtney." Emma landed behind Gwen and slammed an iron poll into her head, knocking her out.

Courtney looked away. "You're just trying to win. No worries. Not even Gwen will keep me from winning…us from winning I mean."

The two girls stood at attention when they heard a scream.

"Emma, stay hidden. I'll handle Duncan," said Courtney.

She approached the entrance to the bar. "Come on out, Dunkie. There's a festival and I'm only wearing a kimono. No underwear."

"How dumb do you think I am. You want me, you come get me," said Duncan.

"Duncan! There's someone here!" yelled Courtney.

"Not falling for it, princess!" hollered Duncan, taking out his knife.

A man wearing a bear mask sped down the festival grounds, two swords sheathed at his side.

Courtney fired off to bottle rockets which he dodged.

Before Duncan could exit the bar, Courtney had been sliced.

She was on the ground, bleeding at her side.

"What did you do to her!" yelled Duncan, pointing his knife.

"Where is Afro?" asked the bear man, revving up his motorcycle.

"I don't know who the hell you are, but you're dead. You hear me? Dead!" Duncan rushes at the motorist. He leaps up and jabs the dagger into the bear's face.

The motorist slams the back of his katana into the delinquent, knocking him off.

The bear man then tromps on the breaks when he realizes he is headed straight for the building. He tumbles across the rough floor along with his motorbike.

Duncan gets up, holding his side. One of his arms is broken and bloodied. "Alright. So who are you?"

The torn up bear mask opens up. A red-haired teen with a respirator is seen. He lifts up his two swords and runs off.

"Hey dorkus! Where you think you're going!?" yelled Duncan, limping toward the motorbike.

Jo suddenly rams into him, knocking him over. "If it isn't Duncan do right?"

"He's really hurt. Maybe we should help him," said Sky.

"Or. Maybe we should take this bike and get to the finish so MacArthur didn't die in vain," said Jo, revving up the engine.

"Sorry Duncan," said Sky, hopping on the back and waving goodbye.

"Get back here!" yelled Duncan.

Sierra rushed over to Duncan, smiling to hide her murderous intent. "Do happen to know where Gwen is?" she asked, her palms drawing blood as she clenched them.

"By the firework stand. But please. Get Courtney some help," said Duncan.

Sierra ran off and pulled Gwen out from beneath the rubble.

"I feel dizzy," said Gwen, holding her head.

"You kissed my Cody!" screamed Sierra, strangling Gwen.

The Goth girl struggles to break free of the monstrous grip. She grabs onto a wooden plank and slams it into Sierra's side, but is unable to deter her.

"When I get out of here, I'll cut out your treacherous tongue," said with a crazed grin.

"The winner of the festival arena has yet to be decided. Rain Cloud is the last alliance to be pitted against itself. Y'all better make this entertaining," said Chef.

Ella, Bridgette and Dawn are walking together in a massive Buddhist temple.

Bridgette nudges Dawn. "She hasn't said a word yet. Should we be worried?"

Dawn smiles at her, in a blissful daze. "Sorry, what were you saying?"

C "Ever since the last challenge Dawn has been kind of out of it. We need our leader to be focused or we'll lose. I wonder what could have happened to her," said Bridgette.

The Nature Lovers turn the corner and see Ennui and Loki.

"And so the bloody battle begins," said Chef.

Ennui blinks. Loki yawns.

"I said the bloody battle begins!" yelled Chef.

Ella walks by the Goths solemnly.

Dawn pays respects to the Buddhist icons.

Bridgette waves at Ennui.

"Fine! Then, be difficult. It doesn't matter because the Empty Seven is also after the number one headband," said Chef.

Rodney leaps off the balcony overhead and lands in front of them. He had a wide hat with the number 6 on top. In his hand was a metal staff. "Sorry guys, but I'm here to…" He looks up to see Dawn, Bridgette and Ella. "Uhh, rainbow butterflies my heart you chocolate flowers pretty feelings."

"What is he saying?" asked Bridgette.

"I can't tell by reading his aura, but I think he's enamored by the look on his face," said Dawn.

Topher, with a number 2 tattoo on the side of his head and dressed in a monk's robe, watches from the rooftop of the building with a pair of binoculars. "What is he doing?"

Beardo, with a number 3 on his headset and dressed in a monk's robe, is too busy jamming to pay attention.

Leonard, his hands hidden by his sleeves, approaches the others. "Fear not, my brethren. Brother Six is more than enough to deal with those…is that Ella?"

"Yeah dude, we know you're crushing on her," said Topher, rolling his eyes.

"The Game-master must remain unbiased. Salvation is at stake, my brothers. We must not let anyone reach the inner sanctum," said Leonard.

"You must be Rodney. We mean you no harm," said Dawn.

Rodney stares at Dawn, his whole world becoming flowery. "Dandelion, sunflower, Lilacs."

"Yes, those are flowers," said Dawn.

"Pretty," said Rodney with googily eyes.

"That's enough!" yelled an angry voice from his back.

Eva and Ann Marie hopped out from the backpack, the former wearing a green robe, metal hat and wielding a staff, the latter wearing a white robe, smoking a pipe and wielding needle-like daggers.

Rodney turned to Eva and started stammering.

"Not another word from you!" Eva, slammed her staff into the lovesick loser's chest.

"I'll go after the preppy princess, you bring the hurt to the flower child," said Ann Marie before rushing at Ella.

"Violence and rage are not we need. This world flourishes with love and peace…" sang Ella as she danced to dodge each strike.

Eva leaped over Dawn's aura barrier and slammed the staff into her head, knocking her down.

Rodney shielded Dawn from the second blow by seizing her in his arms.

"You never had the grit to win this game," said Eva, tearing the rocket launcher off Rodney's back and firing it.

Dawn and Rodney were blown to pieces.

The second rocket fired was at Ella, who kicked it into Ann Marie before leaping out of the blast zone.

"Oh no. I didn't mean to hurt anyone," said Ella, holding her chest with worry.

Jo and Sky sped into the room on a motorbike. They were on a path toward the stairs.

"Oh no you don't!" Eva fires a third rocket.

Jo quickly turns to dodge but is blasted off the bike.

The smoke clears and Harold, wielding two swords, appears and immediately rushes after Eva.

"Get in there!" yelled Eva, ramming the rocket into her weapon.

She held up the bazooka to block the projectile sword.

She then dropped the weapon and rushed at Harold, wielding her staff.

The staff caught the warrior's sword and twisted, tearing it from Harold's grip.

"I can't die until Afro is cut down," said Harold, running away from Eva as fast as he could.

"Don't worry, mate." Jasmine grabs Harold's sword from the ground and approaches Eva.

The staff and sword clash. Eva and Jasmine thrust simultaneously.

The sword pierces Eva's chest while the staff merely bruises Jasmine's.

"See you at the top," said Jasmine, tossing Harold his sword and rushing up the stairs.

Topher lowers his binoculars. "Brothers Six, Five and Four have been defeated. Maybe we should bring out our secret weapon."

Beardo shrugs.

"Hey where did Brother one go?" asked Topher.

A fluffy projectile suddenly raced up his leg.

Topher screamed before falling off the beam, going splat against the ground.

Beardo let out a Wilhelm scream as he was assaulted by Loki, pressing a button before a Pac-Man sound signaled his death.

Scarlet and Scott enter the temple, followed by Emma.

Duncan broke in from a window and carefully moved across the beams toward the exit.

The ground opened up in front of Scarlet.

"Is this good or bad news?" asked Scott, holding out a wooden knife at the creature that emerged.

A robotic DJ appeared. His arms dropped, revealing cannons beneath his elbows. The cannons gathered energy before firing.

Sky drop kicks the robot from above, causing it to misfire.

The blast destroys the ceiling, bringing down a hailstorm of rubble and a sneaky delinquent.

Emma lifts him out of the wreckage. "We're in an alliance. So you'll distract the killer robot while I race to the exit."

"I'm not yours to command!" yelled Duncan.

"Do it and I'll help you get back in good favor with Courtney," said Emma.

"Sure thing. I've handled worse than that robot," said Duncan, lifting up a metal pipe.

Sky was jumping around to dodge the rapid laser fire.

Duncan rushes up to the robot and slams a pipe into it from behind. The pipe bends and the robot fires lasers from its back, piercing holes in the delinquent.

Team Crazy enter as the robot takes flight, firing missiles at the support beams.

"Cool! Fireworks!" cheered Izzy.

Sierra, drenched in blood runs toward the staircase.

"Watch out!" Zoey fires three arrows, two of which hit the missiles.

"Out of my way!" yelled Sierra, kicking the third missile aside.

Bridgette taps Ella's shoulder. "They need our help. You can stop the robot, can't you?"

Ella smiles. "Yes!" She slides down the staircase. "Metal man don't shoot us. You are one of us. Do not betray us. For we are just. You must. Stop attacking. Stop destroying. Come to your senses and be loving!"

The DJ robot smiles and stops its missile assault. It lowers it cannons and dances with Ella.

Vito approaches the robot and shoves his hand into it. He tears out its power core. "Hands off my princess," he says in a dark tone.

"Your princess?" asked Leonard, lifting up his sleeves. "The other brothers are dead, but as long as I draw breath the Empty Seven is alive!" He raised his gold arm and fired out a bevy of bullets.

"Mike!" yelled Zoey, rushing up to him.

Vito smiled. He grabbed Zoey and held her out in front of him. He tossed the girl aside once Leonard redirected his fire.

"Stay back, fiend," said Leonard, backing up while firing near the warlock's feet.

Vito grabbed the gun's turret and bent it. He then kicked Leonard, causing him to topple over.

"I shall send you back to the dark pits of Tartaros!" Leonard's golden arm opened up, revealing a cannon. A smiley-face bomb shot out.

Vito played hacky sack with the bomb before kicking it back at Leonard.

"I love you Ella!" yelled Leonard before being blown to bits.

The smoke cleared.

Chef clears his throat. "Well done. The remaining contestants are as follows. Crazy, Survivors, Bridgette, Ella, Jo, Sky, Scarlet, Scott, Emma. Congratulations. You have all qualified for a chance to win the number two headband."

The temple dissolved.

The area around them become fleshy like a brain.

"All you have to do is kill Mal. Heheh," said Chef.

"Mal's already poof," said Izzy, clinging onto Vito's back like a koala.

"Is this Mike's brain?" asked Zoey.

"Nope. This is my world," said Mal, fastening the number two headband on his forehead. The fabled headband was really just Tyler's sweatband with two strikes on it.

"I suggest we all join forces for the time being," said Scarlett.

"Agreed," said Bridgette, cleaning Zoey's wounds.

"May I assist?" asked Alejandro, materializing with the rest of his team.

Bridgette blushes as he touches her hand.

"Yo Emma, where's my soul mate?" asked Ryan.

"She didn't make it. But it's just VR so don't worry," said Emma.

"And where is Creepy Girl?" asked Lightning.

"She's back at the camp," said Bridgette.

"I wasn't asking you!" yelled Lightning.

"Everyone, we have to work together to stop Mal," said Zoey, struggling back to her feet.

"There's something you all should know." Darkness poured out from Mal like a fog. "I killed Chris."

"Well at least he isn't pure evil," said Jo, holding Sky close to her.

"That means that once I win, anyone who opposes me. Heheheh." Mal mimics a throat slitting.

"We aren't scared of you," said Zoey.

"I am!" yelled Scott, turning his wooden blade at the people around him.

Mal reaches into the dark fog at his feet and pulls up a black spear of energy.

"You're just a single personality. You won't win," said Zoey, hoisting up her bow. She fired an arrow which was kicked aside by Svetlana.

"Why are you helping him?" asked Zoey.

Svetlana, who was wearing shoes of flesh, danced around Mal on her tip toes. "I cannot live without the limelight!"

Chester appears, holding a fleshy cane. "That little coward Mike tried to kill all of us. Mal promises us equal time in control once Mike has kicked the bucket." The old man taps his cane to the ground.

Fleshy protrusions coil around the contestant's legs, holding them in place.

"Sorry Sheila, but we're fighting for survival here," said Manitoba, tipping a fleshy hat.

"Mal is obviously lying to you. Once Mike is dead, he will end you all one after the next," said Alejandro.

Vito, wearing shades of flesh pops out behind the handsome machismos. "After Mike tried to reset us we established a new law that the personalities can't harm each other. Mal couldn't betray us if he wanted to."

"We've united against a common enemy," said Mal, twirling the spear and whistling.

"You won't win!" yelled Bridgette.

"I already have. Kill them all," said Mal with a wicked grin, retreating into the dark fog.

"Don't worry guys. I have night vision! I'll take him down!" exclaimed Shawn, rushing toward the black fog.

"Boom! Boom!" Izzy dive-bombs into the zombie fighter. "Explosivo has arrived!"

"Izzy, this really isn't the time," said Bridgette.

"Yeah! Mike has real issues. He has to live with multiple personalities. You mock his struggles by making up your own," said Zoey, firing an arrow at Izzy.

Jo jumps onto Izzy and pins her arms, keeping away from the crazed girl's bites. "If you can see him, then get your butt in there and take him down, zombie boy."

Sierra breaks out from the fleshy protrusions holding her legs. "The sooner my team wins this! The sooner I get my hands on Gwen!" She rushes at the person closest to her.

"Calm down, crazy girl!" yelled Lightning, entering a power struggle with Sierra.

Shawn enters the dark fog and screams out in agony.

Jasmine rushes in and pulls him out. Her lover looked horrifying. Skin was missing off his face and his clothes were in shreds.

A black sword comes out from the fog and slices off Jasmine's arm.

She wails out in pain and holds her bleeding stub.

"What happened to not feeling pain?" asked Sky.

Chef's voice echoed across the fleshy wasteland. "This is the finale! I'm running a show not a charity. Now take that boy down! Not sure how much longer the restraints can hold him. Oh and there's one last player in this game of death."

Harold appears, wielding two-swords. "You're all in the way of me reaching Afro."

"We're all going to die!" wailed Jacques.

"Quit your whining. Okay people, listen up! Here's how we're going to win," said Jo, struggling to break out. "Alejerkoff, cheek surgery, you take down shirtless Mike. Ignore the others, got it? Superbowl, the psycho fan has been compromised; keep her restrained with your coach's help. Australian tree tops, you and the amazon need to take down eyeshadow. Don't enter the fog. Use long range attacks and keep him off our backs. Signalong, you and captain silver are the only ones who can keep up with lipstick."

"What did you call me!?" asked Jacques, fuming.

"She's being sarcastic. Hurry up and join Ella," said Justin.

"May I continue? Clutzy, provide the dancers support. Scarlet fever, inbred, law school, take down the cyber-dork and wrinkles. Gothy and bunny that leaves you two with fatty's first psychotic ex-girlfriend. Any questions?"

Scott raises his hand.

"No time for questions. It's do or die people, and I'm not here to die!" yelled Jo.

C Sky holds her cheek. "Jo is incredible."

C Scarlet cleans her glasses. "Jo's strategy was solid. She's a skilled leader and good at motivation techniques. Sadly sometimes even the best strategies aren't enough."

"Ratatatata!" exclaimed Vito, shooting from his gruesome looking tommy-gun.

"Oh no! It's on my back! Get it off!" yelled Justin, flailing his arms around.

C Alejandro holds his sides and shivers. "Leeches."

Lightning beat Sierra in the power struggle and pinned her down. "You messed with the wrong super star."

"What would Cody think if he saw you working with evil Mike?" asked Ryan.

"He's on my team. And Lightning, you're not a star. You lost on international television to the weakest player in Total Drama history," said Sierra, weaving clumps of brain matter behind her back.

"You're sha-dead!" Lightning slams his fist down at the girl.

Sierra holds up her creation, catching Lighting's hand in it.

"What's going on?" asked the jock, struggling to pull his arm out from the net.

"You just lost. Again." Sierra kicks off Lightning, breaking the net and causing him to plummet into the oblivion below.

"Sierra, think for yourself! Even if he is on your team, he's crazy!" exclaimed Ryan, backing up as she rushed him.

Sierra head-butts the discount DJ. "If Mal's in control than that means my Cody-kins is in danger. I have to earn Mal's trust to keep my hubby safe." She pounces on Ryan and punches him repeatedly.

"Alright, so you lasses are going to take me on?" asked Manitoba.

"That's right," said Sky.

When Jo rushes in to tackle the explorer, Manitoba digs underground.

"Don't worry. He can only come from below," said Jo.

The ground caves in beneath Sky. She falls into the crevice when Jo grabs her hand.

Manitoba pops out behind Jo and places his foot on her back. "Weren't you the lass who said that leaving behind an ally was alright as long as it brought you victory?"

"Yeah. Maybe I've changed," said Jo, tossing Sky up.

Manitoba flung his fleshy hat at Sky.

The gymnast dodges and kicks him in the face.

"See you on the other side!" Jo pinned Manitoba's legs and then flung herself into the darkness along with him.

Harold approaches Scott.

"Hey, relax. I'm on your side," said Scott.

"No you're in my way," said Harold, drawing his swords.

Scarlet approaches Chester. "You do realize that Mal is making you all fight to weaken you, don't you?"

"Shut yer trap. I don't want any youngins giving me lip!" yelled Chester, smacking Scarlet with his cane.

Scott rushes at Harold with his wooden blade. The farm boy falls to the ground seconds later, sliced open.

"Emma, I need you to protect me," said Scarlet.

"Alright, but you owe me." Emma kicks Chester's leg before snapping his neck. "That's one down."

Izzy swings on fleshy vines and drops flesh bombs on the Goths beneath her.

C "Mike's mind is cool." Ennui blinks.

Loki slices the bombs and rushes toward Izzy.

"Explosivo make everyone go boom boom!" Izzy kicks Loki into Ennui. She lifts up her shirt revealing that her chest is lined with explosives.

Ennui tosses Loki before being blown to bits along with Izzy.

"The crowd cheers as Svetlana graces the stage!" cheered Mike's female personality.

"This is all my fault," said Ella solemnly.

"No it isn't. Mal is responsible," said Bridgette.

Ella leaps up and kicks Jacques. "Sorry."

"What was that for?" asked Jacques, holding his bruised face.

"I can't just sing my worries away. I have to fight to survive." Ella dances up to him alongside Svetlana, assaulting him with graceful kicks. "Mal was resurrected, which was most unexpected. Because a foolish girl, that's me, tried to end her world. But he came, like a knight in shining armor. Yes he came, and rescued the girl from what plagued her. Her darkness left her mind, and it joined him in kind. Mal was resurrected, which was most unexpected. From her plight, came his light. Mal, the dark prince claimed her broken heart. But this was just the start. He told her a plan; a very hopeful plan. A plan to save her friends. She must go and convince the host to bring Mal to an end. The last arena, she told the host, should be inside Mike's brain. With wide-eyes and a grin, the host said that sounds insane. And now here we are, just as Mal planned, inside his head, where his powers have expanded. Mal was resurrected, which was most unexpected. And as his princess, a slave to his love, I have no choice but to follow his wishes. A slave to his love, ensnared by the drug, I have been tasked to help him reclaim the kingdom of his mind. So, it's my fault. It's my fault. That you all will die. Mal was resurrected, which was most unexpected. But as his princess, I must confess, that I will dance for his romance. And I will sing the song of victory. I will help Mal regain his glory!" Ella sang as Jacques exchanged blows with her.

"Ella. He's just using you!" yelled Bridgette before being kicked aside by Svetlana.

"I'm sorry, my friend, but Mal and I have a strong bond." Ella and Svetlana leap up simultaneously and slam their legs into Jacques' chest.

"Leonard loves you. You heard him," said Bridgette.

"Leonard is a wizard. A princess cannot marry a wizard. She needs a prince," said Ella.

"Ah! What is this disgusting goop?" asked Jacques, falling into a puddle of saliva.

"It's your fear! Mal knows everyone's fears!" exclaimed Svetlana.

"Bridgette, I can't let you interfere," said Ella, dancing up to her ally.

"If we don't do something, they'll die. And if Mal wins in VR we're all in danger. You heard Chef," said Bridgette.

Sky rushes in and drop kicks Svetlana.

"You think a trainee can stand up to a gold winning Olympian?" asked Svetlana.

Jacques' eyes shrunk. "Gold? We can't defeat that."

"Fine. I won't stop you. But I can't help either," said Ella.

"You didn't quit in the Ridonculous Race. Why quit now?" asked Bridgette, pulling Jacques out of the saliva pool.

"You're right! I can win this! The gold will be mine!" exclaimed Jacques.

Svetlana leaps over the dancer's kick, lands on his head and then snaps his neck with her feet. "You vere saying. Ohoho." The dancer's shoes grew mouths that bit into Sky's legs when she attacked.

"Jo is counting on me!" yelled Sky, fighting through the pain.

"We're not afraid of you or Mal!" Bridgette rushes at the corrupted Olympian. She trips and slams into Svetlana's legs.

"Thanks Bridgette," said Sky, sending both her legs into the dancer's throat.

Svetlana collapsed, her neck bone shattered.

"Ella, come to me," said Mal's voice.

Ella lowers her head before leaving her allies and walking toward the darkness.

"How haven't any of the arrows hit him?" asked Zoey, firing another volley into the fog.

"Not sure. But we can't give up till they do," said Jasmine, shaping the flesh into another arrow.

"Ella, what are you doing?" asked Zoey, lowering her bow.

"Following my heart," said Ella solemnly.

Justin was covered in leeches, his whole body bloated from the sores. "I can't live like this," said the model in tears.

"And done." Alejandro, currently on his hands, hops back to his feet. He holds up a fleshy string connected to a coin. "You are getting very sleepy."

"That won't work here. This is my mind," said Vito.

"Is it now? I thought that Mal was going to allow you all equal ownership," said Alejandro.

"As if. He's planning the old mutiny, but I'm going to beat him to it. Once Mike is swimming with the fishes, Mal will be the next to go," said Vito.

Alejandro smiles. "Word of advice. The only safe haven for plans is in your head."

"This is my head," said Vito.

Dark energy shot up as a pillar and consumes Vito.

"No. It's mine," said Mal.

"There's your opening!" hollered Alejandro.

Zoey fires three arrows at once into Vito's chest. She then spun around and fired another three at Mal.

The first two are blasted to bits by dark bullets. The third pierces his knee and brings him to his feet.

Darkness erupts out from Mal.

"Thanks Alejandro. Now that I know where he is, the fog won't do him any good," said Zoey.

Sierra and Ryan are rolling across the floor.

"I don't want to hurt you," said Ryan, grabbing her arms.

She bites into his neck.

C "Okay. So when Stephanie bites me it's scary, but it's also so hot it makes me sweat but when Sierra does it…it's just scary," said Ryan.

"You've served your purpose," said Mal, before flinging a dark spear that pierces both Sierra and Ryan.

Alejandro rushes off and joins Emma. "Chica, do you need assistance?"

Emma was locked in a swordfight with Harold. "I do recreational swordplay as a form of stress relief. I can handle this."

"How many of his personalities are left?" asked Scarlet.

Alejandro helps her to her feet. "Only Mal which means we can concentrate our efforts on…"

"We just gave Mal exactly what he wanted. All the other personalities are weakened and their weakness is now his strength," said Scarlet.

"Ella, move aside," said Zoey, circling around Mal and firing arrows.

"Wouldn't you do the same to protect the one you love?" asked Ella, taking an arrow to the chest.

"Mike is the one I love."

Ella's eyes shrank. "Oh."

Mal emerges from the fog. "Mike won't be around for much longer. Help me finish this and we'll live happily ever after." He locks lips with Ella.

Loki leaps up and bites into his side.

"Nasty little rodent!" yelled Mal, tearing off Loki.

Ella slaps Mal. "No! I won't be your princess. Anyone who harms animals is a horrible person! I'd rather die alone than help someone who would harm a forest friend."

"Then you will die alone," said Mal, pooling dark energy into his hand.

Four arrows shot into his back but it did nothing to stop him.

Loki leaps in the way of the attack, pierced by the dark energy.

Mal tosses the injured bunny aside.

Ella rushes to help Loki, but it's too late.

Loki licks her cheek.

Sky arrives with the others, except Emma who is still fighting Harold. "It's over Mal. You can't beat all of us."

"That's right this is Mike's mind!" yelled Zoey.

"Haven't you all noticed that the fog has been spreading?" asked Mal.

The contestants look down to see the fog has reached knee level.

"I win."

The fog morphs into dark spikes that pierce the contestants, killing them all instantly.

The fleshy world fades.

Mal stands at the doorway to God.

"It ain't over yet. You may have the number two but you need the number one headband if you want to win the challenge," said Chef.

The door scans Mal's number two headband and slowly opens.

Harold swipes the headband and rushes in. "I finally found you." The vengeful swordsman stops in place.

In the chair is DJ with an afro. Zoey's head band is placed around his forehead with a single mark. His eyes are closed and a sword is pierced through his chest.

"No! He was mine to kill!" yelled Harold, sobbing at his feet.

Mal tore off Harold's headband and took one of his swords. "Come on out, Chef."

Chef emerged from the back of the chair, fastened Zoey's headband around his head and tore out the sword. "If you want a job done right. You have to do it yourself."

"Chef. You're breaking the cannon of the Afro Swordguy manga, both seasons of the anime, and the video game. Justice is the number one. And you are not Justice," said Harold.

"You're wrong about that. Whoever wields the number one becomes justice. They become God. By the power of this headband even the whiny Zoey became a fierce warrior. What do you think will happen when someone like me puts it on?"

Harold rushes at Chef. "Yaaaaah!"

Chef leaps up, lands in front of Harold and then moves his blade side to side.

Harold is split in two before his body is sliced to bits. "Afro!" he yells before falling into a bloody puddle.

"I've earned the right to face you," said Mal, pointing the sword.

"That you have." Chef rushes in to strike.

The two swords clash.

"You have no idea the forces you're challenging," said Mal, griping his sword with both hands.

Chef's weapon slips from his grip.

"I win." Mal raises the sword.

Chef's arm rises up and grips Mal's throat. "Boy, I've been in the army! I've seen my comrades die! I've killed my own squad before being court-marshaled. You're just an emo-kid. I'm a god."

Snap.

Mal's body becomes limp in Chef's hands.

"And that's how Resurrection should have ended," said Chef, tossing the body asside.

Everyone wakes up in their beds with VR headsets. Still in a daze, they are unable to move their bodies."

"Y'all are losers! All of you! But I can't send you all home so shut up and listen. Some of you are bigger losers than others. Now we're going to do this in reverse order so pay attention. And don't interrupt me unless you want to be instantly eliminated!" yelled Chef.

"First place goes to the Crazies. They still lost, but they lost less than the rest of you. They win something. I'll deliver it later. Second place goes to the Survivors, Zoey got five arrows in Mal. She didn't stop him but she actually hit him. Third goes to the Goths, Loki got a good hit on Mal and got Ella to come to her senses. Fourth is team Girl Power, they didn't get a hit on the enemy, but at least Jo took command. The rest of you are worthless but some are more worthless than the others. Fifth place is Evil, they, by which I mean Scarlett, figured out Mal's plan at least. Sixth is the Winners, because Emma held her own against Jin, I mean Harold. Seventh goes to Handsome, because they uncovered Vito's plot and got him killed over it. Eighth is the Nature Lovers, Tree Huggers, whatever they are called. They were mostly useless but they made some drama, which Chris used to love." Chef pauses and sobs.

"What do you mean by used to?" asked Sierra, slamming against her barricaded door.

"Shut up! Ninth is Muscle because, well they were less pathetic than the ones beneath them. The other teams didn't even make it to the mental battlegrounds so one of them is going home. Tenth is Triangle, because at least one of them made it to the temple. The Gamers and the Underdogs both lost miserably but I can only send one of these sorry excuses for soldiers home so…Underdogs are safe because Cody kissed back and made some drama. Gamers, you are the losers! You've failed everyone!"

"I'm sorry Kitty. I really dragged you down," said Dwayne.

"Aw, don't be like that. We did our best and nobody will ever forget how we dominated last round. I'm happy to be your friend," said Kitty.

"About that. I was hoping that maybe we could be…"

"Crazies! Pick someone to send home!" yelled Chef.

"What?" asked Mal.

They all re-enter the VR world.

All the players and helpers are safely behind glass; all except for the Crazies who are in metal bindings.

"Cast your vote. Out loud."

Mal smiles at Izzy.

"Explosivo votes for Sierra."

"So do I," said Mal.

"I see Gwen!" yelled Sierra, breaking out of the bindings and rushing toward her enemy.

Cody approaches her. "The kiss Gwen gave me was a goodbye kiss. She was thanking me for being a good friend, apologizing for ignoring my feelings and well, wishing me good luck with my girlfriend, you," he said with flushed cheeks. "So, please Sierra, if you love me then don't hurt Gwen. She's my friend!"

"Oh she won't be hurting anybody. Sierra, you're eliminated," said Chef.

"Are you kidding me!? Mal is the one who should be going home! Izzy, he tried to kill everyone!" yelled Chris, materializing next to her with a cowboy hat and a pair of revolvers.

"This is Explosivo, not Izzy."

"Whatever. Fine. You won't last another round. Crazies, you're facing elimination for three reasons. One: Mal attacked me in the comfort of my own home while I was getting a massage. Isn't that right, Ella?"

"Yes, Daddy," said Ella, covering her face.

"Two: Sierra left the battle zone, left her team behind to kill Cody…"

"I'm so sorry," whined Sierra.

"Wasn't done yet. And went psycho to kill Gwen, joining forces with Mal. And three, you all lost the challenge and interrupted Chef which he warned would result in instant elimination. So Sierra, time for the Bock of Shame." Chris holds up Clucky.

"That's an even worse name than the one you had before," said Courtney.

"Shush it. Three questions. Question one: how does it feel to fail your boyfriend entirely and try to kill his former love interest?"

"Back off Chris. She made a mistake. I did too," said Cody.

"I'm so sorry Cody," said Sierra, pressing her hands as close to his as she could with the glass wall in the way.

"Question two? Are you going to make that new fan-page without Cody now that you're gone?" asked Chris.

"You mean the Dent fan page?" asked Sierra with wide eyes.

"She won't have to make it without me because I'm leaving in her place," said Cody.

"No, you're not. You haven't suffered enough yet," said Chris.

"I'll wait for Cody then," said Sierra.

"Probably won't have to wait long. Last question. Who is your least favorite judge?"

"Topher. He's such a wanabee," said Sierra.

"Great choice. And now we're going to send you off samurai style. Chef, get Cody in here!" yelled Chris.

Chef opens the glass door and lifts Cody up. He brings him next to Chris who hands both Sierra and Cody a sword.

"To reclaim your honor after betraying your Cody-kins' wishes, you must commit hara-kiri or seppuku or super samurai suicide. The point is, you have to kill yourself," said Chris.

"What!? Even if this isn't real, the pain is! Can you imagine how much agony that would put her through?" asked Cody.

"Nope, but I bet it's horrible. Now Cody. Once her sword reaches her heart, as her closest friend, it's your job to cut off her head."

"That's insane," said Cody.

"I never pictured it ending this way. Sure at one time I felt I'd force you to commit a double suicide so we could be together forever in purgatory, but I suppose I'll settle for this. I'll prove my love!" Sierra plunges the sword into her chest.

"Wow. Gruesome," said Chris, turning to his side and vomiting.

"This sword is my regret and it reaches all the way to my heart." Sierra cries as she pulls the blade up.

Chef grabs Cody's hands and with a single slash, the ultimate fan was beheaded.

"Thanks again for the VR system Noah!" hollered Chris.

"Well I can't expect Emma to be the only one with an income," said Noah.

"Sierra!" cried Cody, embracing her headless body.

"Yuck. Well team Crazy here's the good news. This round is a swap round. Pick someone insane to replace your fallen comrade," said Chris.

"Let's see. Leonard is useless, who else is there?" asked Mal.

"Oooh, oooh! We pick Chef!" exclaimed Izzy.

"You what!?" asked Chris with a look of shock.

"Chef's flashbacks alone allow him to qualify," said Mal.

"Chris, you aren't going to allow them to cheat like this. I think Mal should go home too for what he did to you," said Courtney.

"Well, it's not technically against the rules to pick a judge for a teammate. And since Courtney is against it…Chef, you're officially a member of team Crazy. What horrors await the campers in the next brutal non-VR challenge. It's going to be a bloody wonderland and you'll be armed with nothing but your wits and your magical diaries. Next week is the Dead Diary Future Wonderland challenge or the Shine Nikki challenge for short. Who will be sentenced to death? Find out next time on Total Drama Action Stars Island Tour!"

I actually decided to do an Afro Samurai challenge because of a single scene in Total Drama Action where Chef slices a robot suit in half. After that I had to rewatch the anime and re-read the mange to make sure I captured the essence of what makes Afro Samurai so great. Hope you enjoyed and please feel free to message me and leave a review. Now that part two has begun you can expect bi-weekly updates for the next eight or so episodes.

Also, please check out and join the official Total Drama Action Stars Island Tour Facebook page. I am regularly updating it with team bios, tier lists and other Total Drama posts.

Also if you enjoy my story, I encourage you to read Total Drama Reborn and Total Drama Rebuilt. Reborn has original characters mixed in with past favorites and Rebuilt has characters from all gens (just like my story). Also, if you're interested I also recommend Total Drama What if?; it's a series of unrelated stories that show how a small difference can change the entire season.

Recently I've also been reading Total Drama Pomewin Island, a much darker take on Total Drama that is expertly written but still just starting off.

Thank you all for your time and support and please comment; I'd love to hear your feedback.

Also special shout out to Joao Souza for creating the cover for Total Drama Action Stars Island Tour and to my brother for editing it. :3

Speaking of feedback. I have a spot open for one of my future challenges and would like suggestions for what movie, game, anime to base it off of. Please make sure it is elimination style in some form or another. Looking forward to hearing your input.
