Wow, this one is up way ahead of schedule. I sure hope I didn't rush through things or anything like that. I'm sure it's fine. Anyway, It'll definitely be more exciting than the last Aftermath chapter that's for sure. Speaking of the Aftermath, here's my response to the reviews from the last chapter:
Acosta Perez Jose Ramiro: Thanks for reviewing.
ShadowJcreed: Glad you liked the Blaineley and Bridgette plot. I'm thinking about expanding on it further in the Aftermath.
And that's it for the reviews. Huh, that was way less than usual. Well, anyway, that's about it for the note. You can move on to the actual chapter now.
"Last time, on Total Drama Champions. Our challenge payed homage to the heist genre with one team playing cops and the other playing bank robbers. In the end, despite Anne Maria proving surprisingly useful in the challenge the Actors lost when Sky decided to take one for the team. And at the elimination ceremony, Scott decided that Anne Maria was too big a threat to him and sent her away. Who's gonna be the next one down? I don't know but my money's on the Actors. Seriously, they haven't been doing so hot. But the only way to know for sure is to watch some, Total. Drama. Champions!"
(Theme Song)
On an early morning at the film lot, most of the contestants hadn't woken up yet. Inside the boys' cabin though, Lightning was once again doing his morning exercises. Specifically, sit ups.
"Twenty two… Twenty three… Twenty four…" Lightning counted. "Sha-twenty five!"
Lightning stood up from the ground and pumped his fists in the air in excitement.
"Woo! Twenty five sit ups!" Lightning cheered. "Pretty sweet."
All of Lightning's cheering was loud enough to wake the rest of the boys in the trailer up.
"Jeez, Lightning, are you doing that again…" Scott groaned.
"I thought we told you to stop…" Topher complained.
"Sorry bro, exercise is important to me. I just gotta do it." Lightning said.
"Well can't you do it somewhere else?" Dave asked.
"Yes, maybe somewhere quiet and secluded." Cameron added. "Away from all of us."
"Hmm… All right, I can do that." Lightning remarked.
"Just please let us get some more sleep." Topher requested.
"You got it, I'm goin' outside now." Lightning said.
Lightning exited the trailer leaving the others boys by themselves. There was a long silent pause.
"Y'know, I can't really get back to sleep." Dave admitted.
"Yeah, me neither." Scott said.
"I hate when that happens." Cameron remarked.
(Confessional: Cameron)
"I'm not a fan of Lightning. We sort of have a history on account of being the two finalists in season four." Cameron said. "But, I can't deny that he's probably at least part of the reason we've been winning so much as of late."
Meanwhile, over in the girls' cabin, Sky was the only one of the girls that had woken up at the time. She stretched her arm and looked around at the other still asleep competitors. Sky approached where Amy slept and looked over her. After considering it for a bit, Sky poked Amy in the shoulder.
"Psst, Amy, get up." Sky whispered.
Amy stirred in her sleep and looked up at Sky with a very annoyed look on her face.
"What do you want?" Amy mumbled, half-awake.
"Well, I thought since we're in an alliance we could hang out." Sky explained. "And, hey, you look like you're at least moderately athletic so I wanted to know if you wanted to go for a jog or do some warm up stretches."
"Yeah, sure, why not." Amy muttered, still not entirely there. "Let's go do some stretches…"
(Confessional: Amy)
"I'm really not a morning person." Amy admitted. "I have yelled at Samey several times for waking me up early. But if it means getting on Sky's good side, I guess I'll wake up early anyway."
A little while later, most of the contestants were outside the trailers where they had split off into groups to talk to each other. The camera went and focused on Dave and Scott leaned against one of the trailers as they spoke.
"All right Dave, why do you wanna talk this time?" Scott asked.
"Well, it's just I'm worried." Dave explained.
"Oh yeah?" Scott remarked. "And why's that."
"Haven't you noticed that we're on a bit of a losing streak." Dave said. "It's four of us to six of them."
"Don't worry about it, I got a feeling that things are gonna turn around for us." Scott stated.
"What makes you say that?" Dave asked.
"In this challenge, I'm going to intimidate Topher out of his position as leader and lead us to victory." Scott explained.
"You sure he'll cave in?" Dave asked.
"Trust me, he's a wimp." Scott said.
"All right, if you say so." Dave remarked.
Meanwhile, over by a tree, Shawn and Lightning were having a conversation of their own.
"Yo, so Shawn, do ya have a plan for whatever we're going to do next?" Lightning asked. "'Specially if we lose, it's always important to have an elimination strategy."
"Huh, never saw you as a strategyist, Lightning." Shawn remarked.
"Hey man, football's got a lotta strategy in it." Lightning stated. "Most of it's muscular dudes slammin' into each other but there's also strategy. So anyway, what's your strategy."
"I hadn't really thought about it." Shawn admitted. "With how well we've been doing I figured we wouldn't need one."
"They say being too prideful is the downfall to a lot of great people." A higher pitched male voice remarked.
Lightning and Shawn looked to their right and saw Cameron approaching.
"What'cha doing over here?" Lightning asked.
"Well, I saw you two having a conversation and I thought I could join." Cameron explained. "Although, I do now realize I have very little interest in zombie survival or sports."
"In that case you can get outta here, chicken-legs." Lightning told her. "We're busy."
"Oh… All right…" Cameron trailed off.
The scene switched over to Chris and Chef in a golf cart driving up to the group of competitors.
"Morning everyone!" Chris cheered as their cart got closer. "How are my favourite people on this fine morning?"
"Sleepy…" Sierra yawned.
"Great, that sounds like it'll make for hilarious TV." Chris remarked. "Anyway, since I'm here it can only mean two things! Number one, our speak system is still broken. And number two…"
Chris trailed off in wait of an answer.
"It's time for a challenge?" Gwen hazarded a guess.
"Ding, ding, ding! That is correct!" Chris cheered. "Chef! Tell her what she's won!"
"The hell is the wrong with you?" Chef asked. "You ain't usually like this."
"I might be a little hyped up on caffine." Chris admitted. "Also, I went to bed at midnight and woke up at four thirty in the morning last night. But regardless-"
"Hold on, now you've gotta tell us what you were doing." Gwen told him.
"Yeah, now we're all curious and stuff." Sierra added.
"Uh huh, it just isn't normal to have that sleep pattern unless you're like a crazy party animal." Amy agreed. "Which, uh, you sure don't look like."
"Ooh! Ooh! If you were at a party can I blog about it?" Sierra requested. "Pretty please?"
"Okay, you know what, for being so nosy, now none of you get to know anything." Chris stated.
"You realize that just makes us more curious, right?" Topher remarked.
"All right, how about you just get to the warehouse and stop asking so many questions that'll never be answered." Chris told them. "Seriously, warehouse. Now!"
Chris looked over at his co-host.
"Chef! Get me out!" Chris stated.
"Jeez, no need to yell." Chef remarked as he began to drive away.
"Heh, sorry." Chris apologized. "Anyway, to the warehouse!"
"Again with the yelling…" Chef mumbled as he continued to drive.
(Confessional: Sierra)
"Chris may think we'll never figure out why he slept like that but I have my ways." Sierra stated. "Not to brag, but I'm best known for knowing things I'm not supposed to know."
A little while later, the group had arrived at the usual warehouse full of virtual reality equipment. Chris and Chef had already arrived and a golf cart could be seen parked in a nearby corner.
"All right people, glad you could make it." Chris remarked. "With how much of a delay we had earlier I'm not going to waste any time. Let's just get right into the rules for this challenge."
"Sha-sweet, lay it on us." Lightning said.
"This challenge is based of a certain subgenre of horror." Chris explained. "And that would be… Zombie movies!"
"Yes!" Shawn enthusiastically cheered. "Hell yes!"
The other contestants looked at Shawn with confused looks on their faces.
"Heh, sorry, just got a little excited right there." Shawn apologized. "I've just been waiting for this thing for a while."
"Anyway, in this challenge each of you is a group of apocalypse survivors in a mid-sized Canadian town." Chris explained. "The goal of this challenge is to escape from the zombies."
"That doesn't sound too hard." Sky remarked.
"Trust me, it is." Chris told her. "Now, there are three ways you can do it. By air, by land, and by water."
"Ooh, sounds fun." Topher remarked.
"If you choose by air you need to find a signal flare and make it to the top of the local hospital where you can signal the helicopter to come get you." Chris continued. "By land you need to get a can of gasoline and use it to fill up a broken down car. And in by water you need to find the tools to fix up the engine of a speedboat down by the river. Whichever you choose, it won't be easy. Of, and of course there are zombies everywhere."
"Okay, now it sounds very hard." Sky admitted.
"Is there anything else we should know about?" Cameron asked.
"Yes, actually." Chris replied. "We're having another steam switch! Topher, get on over to the other team!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, you can't just switch me over all of a sudden!" Topher protested.
"Uh, I'm the host, I make the rules." Chris stated. "So as I said, Topher, you're now on the Directors."
"Well who does our team get?" Gwen asked. "You know, in exchange."
"Nobody." Chris bluntly told them.
"What?!" Gwen exclaimed in disbelief.
"This is just unfair." Dave pointed out.
"Yeah, first making a zombie challenge when the other team has an apocalypse specialist and now this." Gwen added.
"What's even the point of doing this?" Topher asked.
"I wanna see if it's possible for a team of three to win a challenge." Chris explained.
"Do we at least get Topher back when it's over?" Dave asked.
"Nope." Chris stated. "Now, just so we're clear, Topher's on the Directors and the Actors are now a team of three. Now everyone get to your chairs and we can start the challenge!"
(Confessional: Scott)
"I'm okay with Topher not being here." Scott remarked. "Not only does it mean I get to be in charge, but now it's super easy for me and Dave to team up against Gwen."
(Confessional: Gwen)
"I'm real mad about this whole team switch, all right." Gwen told the camera. "Not only is our team outnumbered even more than before but we're doing a challenge that one of the other team members specializes in zombie survival. I'm pretty sure we're doomed.
Inside the virtual world, the members of the Directors had just found themselves inside of an abandoned gas station. Outside it was dark out and several zombies were aimlessly wandering around. Shawn looked out the gas station window and out at the zombies.
"Oh boy, this is gonna be great, right guys?" Shawn remarked.
"Easy for you to say..." Cameron replied. "I'm terrified already."
"Let's talk about those three approaches." Amy suggested. "Would it be easier to take the car, the helicopter, or the boat?"
"The car, obviously." Lightning told her. "We're already in a gas station, man. It's gotta be super easy, right?"
"Yeah, I agree with you." Shawn said. "If we need to find a gas can what better place to start than a gas station?"
"Would they have it in the convenice store part of the gas station?" Sky wondered.
"Well, the only way to know for sure is to look around." Sierra remarked.
"That's exactly what I was going to say." Shawn said. "All right everyone, start searching for a gas can."
"All of us?" Topher asked.
"Yep, everyone." Shawn said. "Now seriously, everyone get searching. If it's not in here we might have to start breaking open zombie's heads. Which would be awesome, by the way."
"But, we'd like to avoid that, right?" Cameron added.
"Oh, yes, definitely." Shawn quickly said.
(Confessional: Shawn)
"I might have been a little too enthusiastic about his challenge." Shawn admitted. "But I can't help it, I've been waiting for a chance to use my skills in a real situation for a while now."
Meanwhile, inside of an abandoned sporting goods store, the three members of the Actors had found themselves in there.
"Wow, there are a lot of fishing rods in here." Dave remarked.
"Really, we're in the middle of the zombie apocalypse and that's the first thing you say?" Scott said.
"Guys, can we please not argue?" Gwen requested.
"You're right, let's get a grip on the situation." Scott decided. "Dave, go check how many zombies there are outside."
"Wh-why me?" Dave nervously asked.
"Just do it so we can make things go faster." Scott said.
"Oh, okay." Dave replied.
Dave walked over to the window of the sporting goods shop and saw several zombies wandering the street outside.
"Uh... They look pretty scary." Dave remarked.
"Okay, but how many are there?" Scott asked.
"Yeah, and are they trying to get in?" Gwen added.
"Looks like there are about six in this general area." Dave replied. "And no, they don't seem to know we're in here."
"Phew, that's a relief." Gwen remarked. "Wouldn't want them attacking us right off the bat. So, uh, how do you think we should escape?"
"I'm thinking helicopter." Scott replied.
"Uh, why that one?" Gwen asked. "If anything, we should go for the car. That one sounds the easiest."
"Exactly, it sounds the easiest which means the other team must have thought of it too." Scott said. "Plus there's no way you could fit seven people into a helicopter or speedboat. So they're obviously going for the car."
"Uh, what if they thought we chose the car because they thought we thought it'd be the easiest one?" Dave suggested.
"What the hell did you just say?" Scott asked.
"I'm not entirely sure." Dave admitted.
"Look, let's just stick to the helicopter plan, okay." Scott told his two teammates.
"Hold on, shouldn't we look at the boat option too." Gwen said.
"Tell you what, this is a sporting goods store. They probably have signal flares and tools in here. Let's look for both and then decide." Scott told her.
(Confessional: Scott)
"As much as I wanted to get rid of Gwen, I couldn't throw the challenge." Scott explained. "I know if we lost we'd get rid of her, but that'd reduce the team to just me and Dave. And I'm not exactly sure how much longer 'til the merge. So I'll just have to put up with Gwen for now."
Bak at the gas station, the members of the Directors had spread out to various different parts of the store in search of a gas can. Cameron and Sierra were behind the gas station's counter together.
"See anything yet?" Sierra asked as she shifted through a pile of newspapers and magazines.
"No, uh, not yet." Cameron told her. "Sierra, I have a quick question."
"Oh, what is it?" Sierra replied.
"Well, are you sure you aren't going to go crazy over me again, like in All-Stars?" Cameron asked. "It's just, we're on the same team and Cody isn't around. It makes me nervous is all."
"You don't have to worry. Even without Cody's cute face around I promise not to obsess over your cute face." Sierra told him.
"Oh... Thank you, I think." Cameron remarked.
"Yep, don't worry. Even though both of you have the same adorable body type I will not confuse the two of you." Sierra went on.
"You're not helping." Cameron said.
Sierra and Cameron kept digging through the junk behind the counter. Cameron moved a phonebook out of the way to reveal a gas can under the counter.
"Wow, I found it!" Cameron cheered.
He grabbed the gas can and stood up.
"Hey everyone, I found what we were looking for!" Cameron announced.
The rest of the team clustered around Cameron and Sierra's area.
"All right, this is a major step forward." Sky remarked.
"Hand it over, bro." Lightning said. "Now all we gotta do is find a car."
Cameron gave the gas can to Lightning who shook it up only for no sound to be heard inside.
"Dude, this thing's empty." Lightning realized.
"Oh... No wonder I was able to pick it up." Cameron remarked.
"Okay, we just gotta fill it up." Topher said. "That can't be hard, can it?"
"Uh, remember the zombies." Amy told him, pointing to the windows.
Topher looked over and saw the zombies wandering the gas station parking lot.
"Oh, right." Topher remembered. "Okay, this might be a bit difficult then."
(Confessional: Topher)
"I'm not too sure how I feel about this new team." Topher admitted. "It all happened very suddenly... I'm sure I'll get used to it in time."
Back in the sporting goods store, the trio of teammates had gone to a different area of the shop in search of supplies. Various bits of supplies were strewn about the floor and the items on the shelves were all jumbled up.
"Looks like we aren't the only ones who searched here for supplies." Gwen remarked.
"There'd better be signal flares or a toolbox in here." Dave said.
"I'm sure there's something." Scott told him. "I just don't know what."
"Hey, do we need like, matches or a lighter if we find a signal flare?" Gwen asked.
"Hmm... Probably." Scott realized. "Grab some of those if you find them."
"Got it." Gwen replied as the team walked through the trashed aisle.
They walked in silence for several moments until Dave stepped on a can of bug spray which caused him to slip and land on his back.
"Ugh... Dammit..." Dave mumbled.
Gwen and Scott went over to help him back up from the floor.
"Are you gonna be okay?" Gwen asked.
"I guess so. It doesn't hurt. It's just really annoying." Dave replied stil on the ground. "Wait... Hang on..."
"What is it?" Scott asked.
"I think I see something." Dave remarked. "Something orange and stick shaped."
"Huh?" Scott said. "What're you talking about."
"A signal flare, that's what." Dave said as he stood up.
Dave went over to one of the shelves and reached under it. He pulled a signal flare out from under it and stared at it for a moment.
"Huh, looks like we don't need a lighter." Dave remarked.
"Well, let's get to the hospital then." Gwen said. "It's all uphill from here."
"Uh, there are still zombies outside." Scott pointed out.
"Oh... Right." Gwen realized. "Well, let's pick up some weapons from here and get to the hospital."
(Confessional: Dave)
"This three person team thing, not too sure how to feel about it." Dave admitted. "On one hand, Topher was kind of annoying and I'm a little glad he's gone. On the other hand, now there's only three of us."
Meanwhile, at the gas station, the members of the Directors were standing in front of the doors to the store area of the station trying to decide what to do.
"So... We gotta get past these zombies, fill up this gas cand, and find a car." Sky said. "Shawn, do your thing."
"Right, right, I'm the expert here." Shawn replied. "Well, we're gonna need weapons first of all."
"I don't think there are many guns lying around a convenience store." Amy pointed out.
"Well, then you'll have to improvise." Shawn told her. "Wrenches, baseball bats, screwdrivers, lead pipes, all of these are valid options."
"I get a big squeamish when it comes to the violence." Cameron spoke up. "Do I have to do any fighting?"
"Yeah, I'm kinda with him on that. Woudln't wanna get blood on my nice shirt." Topher added.
"It's not even your real shirt, idiot." Amy told him.
"Tell you what, you two don't have to fight." Shawn told Topher and Cameron.
"Seriously?" Sky asked, sounding a little annoyed.
"Let me finish." Shawn said. "Instead, they can collect the gasoline. One of them can hold the can and the other can pump the gas."
"All right, I'm okay with that." Topher said.
(Confessional: Amy)
"I don't really understand, y'know, the point of Topher being on our team." Amy remarked. "I mean sure, it's like, cool to have an extra teammate... But couldn't Chris have picked someone less useless... Hmm... Maybe that's why he chose Topher. Wouldn't put it past him."
A few moments had passed and the team had gathered random items from around the store. Mostly tools like garden shears, hammers, and screwdrivers.
"All right, let's go out there and pump some gas!" Shawn ordered his team.
"Huh, you actually managed to make that sentance sound cool." Sky remarked.
"Thank you." Shawn said. "But seriously guys, let's go."
"But I'm scared." Cameron commented.
"Don't worry little girl, we've totally got this." Lightning confidently said. "Woo! Let's sha-go!"
Lightning pushed open the door and walked out into the parking lot with the other teammates slowly following behind. The Directors caught the attention of the zombies as they slowly began to shamble towards them.
"Uh oh, this doesn't look good." Sky remarked.
"Don't worry, we can take them." Shawn confidently said as he raised his hammer. "Just remember to destroy the head."
"Please just protect me..." Topher nervously requested.
Cameron nodded in agreement.
"All right, c'mon, let's start walking to the gas pumps." Shawn told his teammates.
The team walked as a group towards the nearest gas pump as the zombies started to surround them. One of the zombies got close enough to Amy to try and reach out to grab her.
"Get away from me you creep!" Amy shouted.
Amy drove the screwdriver she was carrying into the zombie's head. The zombie collapsed to the ground shortly after.
"Ah jeez! That's gross!" Amy complained.
As they got closer to the pump, another zombie got within grabbing distance of Lightning.
"Oh no ya don't!" Lightning cheered as he bashed the zombie across the head with a wrench causing it to fall down.
The group made it over to the gas pump.
"Okay you two, start pumping while we hold the zombies off." Shawn told them.
(Confessional: Shawn)
"It was so awesome to fight zombies!" Shawn cheered. "Even if they weren't real. Almost makes me wish the actual apocalypse would happen."
Meanwhile, out in the empty streets of the city the Actors were wandering in search of the hospital together. It appeared that all three of them had taken weapons from the sporting goods store. Dave had grabbed a golf club while Gwen had a baseball bat and finally Scott had taken a hunting rifle.
"Haven't seen any zombies for a while." Dave remarked. "I'm not sure if I should be worried about that or not."
"Let's just try to find the hospital." Gwen told him. "... Wherever that is."
"I'm sure it can't be that hard to find." Scott confidently remarked. "Usually, hospitals are pretty big buildings."
"Hmm, I guess you've got a point there." Dave said.
The three of them turned a corner into an alleyway and saw at the end of the alleyway was a hospital on the other side of the street.
"Huh, talk about weird timing." Gwen remarked.
"C'mon, let's go." Scott said.
The group began to walk down the alley together with some caution to them.
"How many zombies do you think are in there?" Dave wondered as they walked.
"Probably a lot." Scott replied.
"Have you ever heard of being reassuring?" Dave asked.
As they walked through the alley a zombie stumbled out of an open door coming out of the left building.
"Ah!" Gwen screamed at the zombie.
She bashed it in the head with her baseball bat causing it to fall to the ground and remain motionless.
"Don't startle us like that!" Gwen told the zombie.
"There's probably gonna be more of that in the hospital." Scott pointed out.
"Seriously, stop making us frightened." Dave told him.
(Confessional: Scott)
"The main downside to my alliance with Dave is that he's kind of a wimp." Scott remarked. "But hey, as long as he votes for who I say, I'll put up with it."
The Actors were now right in front of the abandoned hospital. They stood in front of the main doors not going in just yet.
"Okay... So what's the plan here?" Gwen asked.
"Well, the elevators are probably broken." Scott remarked.
"What makes you say that." Dave said.
"Because if they were working this challenge would be too easy." Scott told him.
"Okay, fair point." Dave remarked.
"In that case we have to use the stairs." Gwen said.
"Yep, pretty much." Scott said. "Hope you two like climbing and fighting zombies."
"I sure don't." Dave told him.
"Too bad." Scott replied. "Let's get to the roof, now!"
With that, Scott confidently pushed open the door.
(Confessional: Gwen)
"I'm not sure I like Scott being leader." Gwen admitted. "I mean, Topher seemed like kind of an idiot but at least he was polite."
Back at the gas station, Topher stood pumping gas into the can held up by Cameron. Around them several zombies lay on the ground and all their teammates stood near.
"Okay guys, are you done filling up yet?" Sky asked.
"Yep, just finished." Topher replied.
He put took the gas pump out of the can and put it away.
"Can someone carry this for me..." Cameron weakly requested. "It's very heavy..."
"I got'cha, small girl." Lightning said as he grabbed the gas can out of Cameron's arms.
"I'm still not a girl." Cameron told him.
"All right, all that's is that we gotta find a car." Shawn told his teammates.
"And it has to hold seven people." Sky added.
"Yeah, it needs to be a van or something." Amy went on.
"Anyone see a car like that?" Sierra asked.
The members of the Directors looked around the parking lot and saw no vehicles matching that description.
"Huh, this might be a little hard." Sierra said.
"Okay everyone let's look around this city and try to find a van." Shawn instructed his teammates. "Everyone, follow me."
Shawn began to walk away from the gas station and down the dark streets.
"C'mon guys, I said follow me." Shawn encouraged them.
"It still seems a little scary." Cameron remarked.
"Man, don't be such a coward." Lightning told him.
Lightning began wakling towards Shawn.
"Yeah, what he said." Amy added as she too walked in the direction Shawn went.
With that the contestants began to follow Shawn, some somewhat reluctantly, down the street.
"I sure hope we can find a car before we get attacked by more zombies." Sky remarked.
"I'm sure it'll be fine." Topher replied. "We've made it this far, right."
(Confessional: Sky)
"I wasn't too sure how to react to Topher being on our team at first." Sky admitted. "But I guess I do kinda like the positive energy he brings to the team."
Back in the hospital, the Actors were walking up a stairwell towards the roof. On the landing below them lay a dead zombie.
"How many floors have we gone up again?" Dave asked, sounding a mix of exhausted and annoyed.
"Fifteen." Gwen answered.
"And how many are left?" Dave continued to ask.
"Five." Gwen said.
"I don't think I can last that long." Dave admitted.
"It'll all be worth it once we're at the top." Scott told him.
"Okay, I'll try." Dave said. "The least I can hope for is no more zombies."
The group got to the top of the next flight of stairs just in time to see a trio of zombies walk through the doorway.
"Ah dammit, here we go again." Scott remarked.
Scott fired a shot from his hunting rifle that hit one of the zombies in the chest causing it to fall down dead. He tried to fire another shot but nothing happened.
"I'm out of bullets!" Scott realized. "You guys have to take care of it."
"Uh, do I have to?" Dave asked.
"Ugh, I'll do it." Gwen said.
Gwen ran up the stairs towards the slowly advancing zombies. She bashed the first zombie in the head causing it to fall over before quickly turning around to slam the second zombie in the face which also fell to the ground.
"I did it!" Gwen cheered. "C'mon guys, let's keep moving."
Before she could do that she was caught of guard when one of the zombies she thought she killed quickly reached up and grabbed her by the leg.
"Gah!" Gwen exclaimed in surprise. "Someone get this guy off me!"
She attempted to swing at the zombie but in her panic missed. Dave ran up the stairs to where Gwen was and smashed the zombie over the head with his golf club.
"Ugh... Gross..." Dave mumbled.
"Uh, thanks for that." Gwen remarked.
"Okay people, let's get to the top for real now." Scott told the other two as he got closer to them.
He looked at Gwen and noticed what appeared to be claw marks on one of her legs.
"Ah jeez, your leg looks messed up." Scott realized. "Are you gonna be okay?"
"Oh wow, I did not notice that." Gwen said, looking down at her legs. "That looks bad."
"Uh oh, does this mean you're gonna turn into a zombie?" Dave asked.
"No, I'm pretty sure you have to be bitten." Gwen told him. "This is just a scartch mark."
"I dunno, I've seen some movies where getting scratched infects you too." Scott said.
"Let's just keep walking and see what happens." Gwen replied as she continued on up the stairs.
(Confessional: Dave)
"Ugh, this challenge made me never want to watch a zombie." Dave shuddered.
Out in the empty streets, the Directors wandered around in search of a car.
"See any vans yet?" Sky asked.
"Or any type of seven-person car." Amy added.
"Nope, nothing yet." Lightning said.
"I'm sure we'll find something soon." Topher remarked.
Sierra looked around the street until her eyes fell on a black van parked in a street corner several yards ahead of them.
"Ooh, guys!" Sierra cheered. "I see a car we can use!"
Sierra pointed over at where she saw the van and the rest of the Directors looked where she was pointing.
"All right, nice find Sierra." Shawn told her.
"Pfft, she was just lucky." Amy said.
"C'mon guys, let's get closer." Shawn instructed.
The group went over to the van slowly and cautiously.
"Wow, I wonder if it's really going to be this easy." Topher remarked.
"Well, now that you've said that it definitely won't be easy." Amy told him.
The group got close enough to the van to see that sitting in the drivers seat was a zombie that appeared to be restrained by a seatbelt.
"Ah dang it, you're right." Topher said to Amy.
"So, uh, do we find another car now?" Cameron asked.
"Nope, we need to get that zombie out." Shawn told him.
"I was afraid you'd say that." Cameron replied.
"So who wants to do it?" Sky asked.
Nobody replied to this question.
"Well, somebody has to." Sierra remarked.
"Shawn, you're a zombie expert. You go take care of this." Lightning told him.
"Huh? What?" Shawn replied. "Oh, all right, yeah. That makes sense. Here I go."
Shawn walked over to the drivers side of the van and opened the door. The zombie reached out and tried to grab him but their seatbelt kept them from touching the conspiracy theorist.
"Hey, which one of you had the lead pipe?" Shawn asked. "I think I need a weapon with some reach."
"Here ya go." Sierra said as she extended the metal pipe she held towards Shawn.
"Thanks." Shawn replied as he grabbed it out of her hands. "Okay, operation zombie neutralization is a go."
The zombie tried to reach out to him again but was quickly struck in the face with the lead pipe causing their body to grow limp. Once he was sure they were no longer moving, Shawn unbuckled the zombie from their seat and they almost immediately fell out of the van.
"Ugh, so disgusting..." Amy murmured.
"Come on gang! Let's fill this car up and go!" Shawn cheered.
(Confessional: Sierra)
"I didn't really like the zombie challenge." Sierra admitted. "Personally, I like to watch movies where good things happen."
Back at the hospital, the Actors had made it to the tail end of the stairwell.
"Have we made it yet..." Dave whined.
"Actually, it looks like we have." Scott told him as he looked up at the door at the top of the staircase.
"Oh thank god." Dave said.
The trio made it to the top of the staircase and Scott pushed open the door. As soon as the roof was revealed to them they saw a zombie on the other side. Scott quickly bashed it in the face with the back end of his rifle.
"Ugh! I'm never going to watch another zombie movie again!" Scott complained. "This is just miserable."
The three of them stepped out on to the roof and looked around.
"I see the helipad." Gwen pointed to a circle with a big "H" on it in the middle of the roof.
"Okay, I'll go light the flare." Scott told the two of them. "Dave, make sure Gwen doesn't become a zombie. And if she does, hit her in the head with your club."
"Wow, thanks for that." Gwen sacastically said.
"Just taking precautions." Scott stated.
Scott walked away towards the helipad to try and light the flare. Gwen and Dave stood in silence for a few moments until Dave looked down at Gwen's scratched up leg.
"That doesn't look good..." Dave nervously remarked.
"I'm not going to become a zombie." Gwen told him. "I'm confident in that."
"Just because you think that doesn't mean it won't happen." Dave replied.
"Do you even think you're going to be able to hurt me if I become a zombie?" Gwen asked.
"Probably not." Dave admitted. "Which means you'll probably either turn me into a zombie or just eat my brains. Neither of which I'm looking forward to."
"I already said it. I'm not a zombie." Gwen told him.
Scott walked back over to his teammates.
"Okay guys, I set up the flare." Scott told them.
Scott pointed over to the signal flare which was now emiting a bright light and a visible puff of smoke.
"Now all that's left is playing the waiting game." Scott said. "Which unfortunately, is a game I hate."
(Confessional: Scott)
"I didn't really have a good time in this challenge to be honest." Scott admitted. "Not only did playing on a three person team suck but it turns out, being in a zombie apocalypse is a lot less fun than watching people in the movies in a zombie apocalypse."
Meanwhile, back with the van, most of the contestants had piled into it with the exception of Lightning who was busy pouring the gas into the tank.
"All right dudes, we're almost done here." Lightning told his teammates. "We've almost won. Sha-woo!"
Lightning poured the last drops of the gas can into the tank before tossing the can to the side.
"All right, someone open the back doors fo me." Lightning requested.
Sky opened up the van's back door's and Lightning got inside.
"Yo Shawn, we're all set." Lightning told him. "Let's hit the road and end this challenge."
"Got it." Shawn replied.
"Oh by the way, Shawn, thanks for sitting in the zombie seat when nobody else wanted to." Topher added. "Seriously, that stuff's gross."
"Well, it's actually an advantage." Shawn said. "If you smell like them, they'll be less likely to eat you."
"Oh my god, please stop talking." Amy told him. "Just hit the road already."
Shawn quickly nodded and started up the car. He drove down the street and turned the corner where up ahead a foursome of zombies shambled up the street.
"Uh, you might want to take a different route." Cameron advised him.
"Nope, I'm going right through them." Shawn stated.
Shawn accelerated the car and it gained speed as it approached the zombies. The van ran over the zombies and went on as if nothing happened.
"Yeah! That was awesome!" Shawn cheered. "Almost makes me excited for doomsday. Now c'mon, guys. let's try to find our way out of this crazy town."
(Confessional: Sky)
"Shawn's a nice guy but he can be a bit intense sometimes." Sky told the camera.
Back on the hospital's roof, the three Actors still stood around in wait of the helicopter.
"Are you sure it's gonna be here?" Dave asked. "Because I feel like I've been waiting for a while now."
"Chris said that a helicopter would be here if we lit a flare." Scott stated. "We just have to be patient."
"I hope it's getting here soon." Gwen remarked. "I'm not feeling very good."
"Oh no!" Dave suddenly exclaimed. "Are you becoming a zombie?"
"What, no." Gwen denied. "I'm going to be fine. So don't bash my skull in with a golf club, all right?"
"Right, right, sorry." Dave apologized. "But if you do become a zombie, we're probably going to do that."
"I guess that's understandable." Gwen admitted. "But I won't become the living dead, all right."
"Hold on, I see the chopper coming now." Scott told the others.
Scott pointed up to a military helicopter that was approaching the hospital roof.
"All right, we're saved!" Dave cheered. "Thank god."
The helicopter landed on the pad and Gwen and Dave ran towards their escape vehicle while Gwen limped towards it at a slightly slower pace. All three of them got inside the helicopter with Scott sitting next to the pilot and Gwen and Dave sitting in the back.
"Are you the ones who used the signal flare?" The helicopter pilot asked.
"Yep, that's us." Scott told him. "Now fly us out of here as fast as you can."
"Right away." The helicopter pilot replied.
The helicopter began to lift off from the ground.
(Confessional: Scott)
"I feel like going for the helicopter was the best option." Scott remrked. "Mostly 'cause none of us had to drive."
Meanwhile, the Directors were still in there van driving around to get out of town.
"Jeez, I wish we had a map." Lightning remarked.
"Yeah, it kinda feels like we've been going in circles." Sky added.
"Don't worry, we've gotta get out of here at some point." Shawn said.
"Yeah, but the other team could get out before us." Amy pointed out.
"Hate to say it, but Amy's right here." Cameron remarked.
"Thank you." Amy said.
"Don't worry, we'll be out soon." Shawn stated. "I can feel it."
"Well, I sure hope you're right." Sierra said.
Topher looked out the window and saw the other team's helicopter flying above them.
"Hey, is that a helicopter?" Topher asked.
Shawn looked in the direction Topher had his head turned and saw the helicopter flying towards them.
"Oh no, you're right." Shawn realized.
"Step on it, man!" Lightning urged him. "We gotta get outta here before the other dudes do."
Shawn rapidly nodded and sped up the van.
"I still don't know where I'm going." Shawn admitted. "But I have a good feeling about it this time."
(Confessional: Shawn)
"I'd just like the record to show that I'd be way more prepared in an actual zombie Armageddon." Shawn stated.
Back up in the helicopter, the Actors were patiently sitting around while the pilot did all the work.
"So can this thing go any faster?" Scott asked the helicopter pilot.
"It can." The pilot said. "But I don't want to crash."
"All right, fair enough." Scott remarked.
Scott looked behind him to Dave and Gwen.
"You two holding up okay?" Scott asked them.
"I'm fine but I'm still a little worried about Gwen." Dave admitted.
"Stop it... I'm fine..." Gwen murmured.
"You're looking a little pale actually." Scott remarked.
"I'm always pale." Gwen pointed out.
"Yeah but, more than usual." Scott said.
"I'm not becoming a zombie." Gwen insisted.
"If she's a zombie we're gonna have to throw her out of the copter." The pilot stated.
"Oh my god, for the last time I'm fine." Gwen said. "So why don't you just..."
Gwen trailed off and began to glow a white light.
"Oh, that can't be good." Dave said.
After a flash of white light, Gwen was still there but the clearly didn't look like herself. Her eyes were white and empty and her skin was slickly pale.
"Oh no... Gwen's a zombie now!" Dave realized.
"Throw her out of the helicopter!" Scott ordered him.
Dave grabbed his golf club and wildly waved it at Gwen to get her away.
(Confessional: Gwen)
"I was actually just sent back to the real world after I became a zombie." Gwen explained. "Still, it's gonna be weird to see the computer zombie version of myself when I watch this on TV."
Back down in the van, the Directors were speeding through the streets trying to find their way out of the town. The helicopter was still near the van.
"Are you sure we're going the right way?" Sierra asked.
"I've been following the helicopter." Shawn explained. "They seem to know where they're going so it seems like the most logical thing to do."
"Huh, I guess that does make sense." Sierra said.
"I'm not so sure that's a good idea." Lightning remarked.
"What makes you say that?" Shawn asked.
"They're shakin' a lot." Lightning stated.
Lightning pointed up at their helicopter which was now moving in an erratic pattern.
"Huh, well, I feel like that's not good for them." Shawn remarked
"But if they crash it's probably good news for us." Sky said.
"Uh, why do you think they're driving like that exactly?" Cameron asked.
"I don't know." Shawn admitted. "Whatever the reason is, it probably doesn't concern us."
"Oh my god!" Topher exclaimed. "I think someone just fell out of the helicopter."
Topher pointed to a figure slowly falling towards the ground from the aircraft that contained the opposing team.
"Actually, it looks like they're going to land on us if we keep driving forward." Sky realized.
Upon hearing this, Shawn slammed the breaks of the car.
"You idiot, don't stop!" Amy yelled at him.
Before the conversation could continued the zombified body of Gwen landed on the car's hood.
"Ah!" Cameron exclaimed. "What was that?!"
Shaw rolled down the window and stuck his head out of it. He got a god view of the zombie Gwen in the street.
"Oh my god, it looks like Gwen." Shawn remarked.
"Oh dear, we should help her." Cameron suggested.
"Uh, I'm pretty sure she's dead." Amy pointed out.
"No, there hasn't been a white light yet." Shawn argued.
Gwen's zombified body rose from the ground and slowly began to stumble towards the Directors.
"Shawn! Run her over!" Amy ordered.
"H-hold on, I'm getting second thoughts." Shawn admitted. "Y'know, it's somebody I recognize. She was on our team."
"Run her over! We need to win this!" Amy shouted at him.
The Gwen zombies shambled over to Shawn's side of the van and pounded on the door with its fists.
"Ack!" Shawn exclaimed.
"Hey, where'd the other team's chopper go?" Lightning asked as he looked out the window to see that the helicopter was no longer in sight.
Directly after saying that, all the Directors began to glow yellow.
"Uh oh, looks like we lost..." Topher realized.
"Well, at least Gwen's zombie isn't a problem now." Cameron remarked.
After a big flash of white light, all the Directors disappeared.
(Confessional: Amy)
"How?! How did we lose this challenge!?" Amy raged. "There were seven of us and three of them! We had the numbers! Grr... They'll pay for this."
Back in the real world, the contestants came out of the machines as their visors went up.
"Yes! We did it!" Dave cheered. "Even with the three person disadvantage and Gwen becoming a zombie!"
"Yep, we're pretty great." Scott added.
"Yeah, nice work without me." Gwen said before turning to Topher. "And since we won does that mean we get Topher back?"
"Nope, he's still with the other team." Chris answered.
"Oh come on, why?" Gwen asked, sounding annoyed.
"Becaus I'm the host and I say so." Chris replied.
"God, you are so irritating sometimes." Gwen remarked.
"Thank you, I try my best." Chris said. "Anyway, Actors, you're safe for tonight and Directors have to vote somebody off. But until then, you've at got a meal Chef has prepared for you all."
The scene switched over to the cafeteria some time after the challenge. The only people at the Directors table were Cameron, Topher, and Sierra but the Actors table was full. The camera focused on the latter group.
"Wow, I still can't believe we actually won." Gwen remarked.
"How much longer can we keep it up though?" Dave asked.
"Well, I don't think we have to keep it up." Scott stated. "I mean, the merge has to be coming soon, right?"
"Hmmm, guess you have a point." Dave said. "What do you think Gwen?"
"Hmm, what?" Gwen asked. "I kinda lost track of what you were saying."
"Why's that?" Dave said.
"There's almost nobody over at the other team's table." Gwen pointed over to the three Directors at their table.
"Huh, well, I can think of two explanations." Scott said. "Either they really hated Chef's food today or some kind of alliance thing is going on and they wanted to talk in private. Both options are equally likely if you ask me."
(Confessional: Scott)
"Y'know I really do hope the merge happens soon." Scott admitted. "'Cause I'm gonna be honest, we mostly just got lucky today."
Meanwhile, over inside the boys' cabin, Lightning and Shawn were having a conversation. Lightning had leaned himself agaist one of the walls and Shawn was sitting on one of the beds.
"Okay dude, we gotta play things smart." Lightning told him. "Who do ya think we should get rid of?"
"Well, let's look at some possible weak links." Shawn said.
"Oh, that's easy. Cameron, Amy, and the two guys from the other team." Lightning stated. "Which one should we go for?"
"I say Amy because her personality is the worst thing ever." Shawn replied. "But she looks mildly athletic so maybe not."
"Yeah, same with the purple haired girl." Lightning added. "She did pretty good at that jousting thing a few challenges ago so maybe we should keep her too."
"Well, that just leaves Cameron and Topher." Shawn said. "Which one do you think we should go for?"
"Hmm... How 'bout we give the new guy another chance." Lightning suggested. "And now that I think 'bout it, Cam's at least smart lookin'. Let's go back to our Amy plan. I don't really like her."
"All right, sure, I'll go for it." Shawn decided. "Less Amy is something I can get behind."
"Sha-awesome." Lightning said. "See ya at the ceremony."
(Confessional: Lightning)
"I feel like this whole thing with Shawn is gonna work out great." Lightning stated. "Pretty soon, it'll be the two of us at the final two."
(Confessional: Shawn)
"This accidental alliance with Lightning is... Less than ideal." Shawn admitted. "Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to have an alliance. I just didn't expect it to be with him is all."
Meanwhile, over in the girls' cabin, Amy and Sky were having a similar conversation. Sky lay down on her bed while Amy paced about.
"Think Sky, think. Who do we want to send away?" Amy asked. "Who's our biggest threat?"
"Uh, I dunno, let me think some more." Sky said. "Maybe we should just get rid of Topher 'cause he's new?"
"No, we need more strategy than that." Amy stated. "I'm thinking we vote off Shawn."
"He's a nice guy, I don't wanna get rid of him." Sky remarked.
"You can't win by being nice." Amy told her. "Plus, after seeing how he did today, he's clearly a threat. So the sooner we get rid of him the better. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yeah, but... Can't we at least consider some other options?" Sky asked.
"All right, fine." Amy said. "Who would you like to vote off?"
"Maybe Cameron. I like him and all but he isn't exactly athletic." Sky remarked. "And I don't exactly remember him doing that much in this challenge."
"Okay, sure, you have a point." Amy admitted. "We'll vote for Cameron tonight."
"Awesome, great." Sky said.
"But next time, Shawn's going down. Anyway, see you at the ceremony." Amy said. "Oh, and just in case, use your idol. I have a feeling someone is out to get me this time."
"Right, I'll be sure to do that." Sky replied.
(Confessional: Sky)
"I'm starting to regret this alliance with Amy just a little bit." Sky admitted. "I mean, it's good to have someone on my side. It's just I wish she had a better personality."
The scene changed to Chris up on stage with the Directors out in the bleachers.
"Okay, I certainly did not expect this outcome today." Chris admitted. "I mean, three against seven has a pretty predictable outcome that did not happen."
"Can you just skip the taunting and go straight to the voting?" Amy requested.
"All right, somebody sure is cranky." Chris said. "But, as you wish. No more jokes out of me. All of you get to the confessional and vote!"
(Voting Confessional: Sky)
Sky drew an X over a photo of Cameron.
"Look, Cameron, you're very smart and very nice." Sky began. "But... I just feel like you're not doing very much right now. Sorry. Oh, and before I forget..."
Sky took her idol out of her pocket.
"I'm using this to cancel the vote of..." Sky considered her options for a second. "Lightning. I feel like he might vote for Amy."
(Voting Confessional: Shawn)
Shawn put an X over a picture of Amy and showed it to the camera.
"I really don't like you." Shawn admitted. "And I especially don't know why they even brought you back for another season."
(Voting Confessional: Lightning)
Lightning crossed out a photo of Amy.
"Sorry girl, if ya want people to not vote ya out, ya gotta be less annoying." Lightning said.
(Confessional: Topher)
Topher held up a crossed out picture of Shawn.
"I'm used to being leader, but here, Shawn's the leader. So I figure, if I get rid of Shawn, I get to be the new leader." Topher explained.
(Confessional: Amy)
"I dunno... I know I agreed with Sky that I'd vote off Cameron but... I feel like Shawn's the bigger threat here." Amy told the camera. "Of course, I wanna stay on Sky's good graces... Hmm... What to do?"
(Confessional: Cameron)
Cameron showed a picture of Sierra with an X over it to the camera.
"I know Sierra says she's not going to obsess over me anymore but I'd rather not risk it." Cameron said.
(Confessional: Sierra)
Sierra drew an X over a picture of Shawn.
"As someone who's seen every episode of this show at least ten times, I know the merge is coming soon." Sierra told the camera. "And I don't really know if I want someone as good as Shawn with me at the merge."
The scene changed back to Chris walking back up on stage post-voting.
"Okay, I've gone over the confessional footage and have come to a decision." Chris told them. "Oh, and before I get to the votes I'd like to announce that the Silver Chris Idol was used! I won't say by who or on who but it has definitely been used."
"Wait, why won't you tell us?" Cameron asked.
"Because he loves suspense, obviously." Topher said. "Any fan of this show would know that."
"Oh yeah, I was just about to say that too." Sierra added.
"Uh, anyway, let's get to the good part." Chris told the contestants. "Topher, Sky, Lightning you three are safe."
Chris gave the three of them their marshmallows.
"The rest of you, I'm going to give out two more idols next." Chris explained. "And they go to..."
...
...
...
...
...
...
"... Sierra and, surprisingly, Amy!"
Chris threw the two of them their idols.
"Yes!" Sierra celebrated.
"Pfft, 'Surprisingly'." Amy said, semi-mockingly.
"And now, I have one last idol." Chris explained." Shawn, Cameron, it can only go to one of you. And the big winner is..."
...
...
...
...
...
...
"... Neither of you! That's right folks it's our season's very first tie!"
"Wait, so, what happens now?" Shawn asked.
"Do we have to do a mini-challenge or something?" Cameron said.
"No, nothing so elaborate. We would if we could but budget constraints and all that." Chris told him. "Instead, we've got something much simpler in store. You all go back to the confessional and vote again! Only this time, you can only vote for either Shawn or Cameron."
"Aw, boring. I expected more from you, Chris." Topher told Chris.
"Do me a favour and shut up." Chris told him. "Anywho, get back to the confessionals so we can finish things up around here."
(Voting Confessional: Sky)
Sky drew an X over a picture of Cameron.
"I was ready to switch my vote, but Amy told me to vote for Cameron. She says she feels like not many people will vote for Shawn." Sky explained. "Frankly, I don't understand her logic but I've decided to stick with it to keep her from getting angry at me."
(Voting Confessional: Shawn)
Shawn showed a crossed out photograph of Cameron to the camera.
"You're pretty much the only person I can vote for." Shawn said. "Sorry."
(Voting Confessional: Lightning)
Lightning crossed out a picture of Cameron.
"Listen Cam, Shawn's in an alliance with me so there's no way I'm votin' for him." Lightning explained.
(Voting Confessional: Cameron)
Cameron scribbled an X over one of Shawn's photos.
"You're pretty much my only choice here." Cameron stated.
(Voting Confessional: Sierra)
Sierra held up a crossed out picture of Shawn.
"I like Cameron too much to vote him off." Sierra explained.
(Voting Confessional: Topher)
Topher showed a crossed out picture of Shawn to the camera.
"I still want to be leader." Topher said.
(Voting Confessional: Amy)
"I know I told Sky to stick with Cameron but now I'm starting to have second thoughts." Amy admitted. "I mean... I feel like voting for Shawn might work... But it might not... Hmm... Decisions, decisions..."
The scene shifted over to Chris getting back up on stage for the third time.
"All right, I've gone over the votes and this time I can guarantee that somebody will be eliminated." Chris stated.
"In that case get on with it." Amy told him.
"I was just about to." Chris said. "So Shawn, Cameron, only one of you is going to stay here. The other one will have to take the Lame-o-sine away from this place. And the final award goes to..."
...
...
...
...
...
...
"... Shawn!"
Chris threw the final Gilded Chris Award to Shawn.
"Heh, feel like that's a close one." Shawn remarked.
Cameron stood up and looked over at his teammates.
"What?" Cameron said. "You guys voted me out? Aw, I was having fun... Well, minus the terrifying bits."
"Sorry Cam, the votes were four-three." Chris told him. "Now if you would, please escort yourself down to the Lame-o-sine."
"Oh, yeah, sure.' Cameron said.
Cameron walked away from the bleachers, down the red carpet, and then entered the limousine.
"Well, I didn't make it to the merge like I promised Zoey." Cameron remarked. "But least I had fun. And now I get to go somewhere nice and relaxing. So I guess it isn't all bad."
The camera changed to a view of the limo speeding off. Chris walked to the edge of the carpet once it was gone.
"And it looks like we're down to our final nine." Chris remarked. "Will the Directors lose again or was the Actors victory a fluke? Or, alternatively, will the merge be next and none of that matters? Only me and the producers know. For the rest of you, you'll have to stick around for some, Total. Drama. Champions!"

And that's it for the chapter. It ended up being a lot longer than I anticipated. That's probably on account of the tiebreakers. Hopefully, that isn't a problem. As for why I switched Topher, I thought it could be interesting to write a team of three. Also, if you're wondering why I eliminated Cameron, it was tough to decide the last boot of the pre-merge looking at the initial list I had. But then I thought everyone else had a plot that I wanted to expand on. Also, yes, this is the last pre-merge chapter. So you've got that to look forward to. Anyway, hope you guys liked it. Thanks for reading.
