Chris cleared his throat. "Alright, so I'd just like to thank Tai for that beautiful reminder of Chef," he said, wiping tears from his eyes. "Tai, if safe. The rest of you are not." Chris said. "To narrow this down, those who are safe are... Emma... Ella... Dixie... Caeden... Arnold... Tara... Corbin... And Lucina."

He threw them marshmallows. "That said, Opal, Alysson... One of you is going home. And that is... Not Alysson!"

"Yes!" Alysson cheered. "Wait... That means... You're leaving?" He asked Opal, who headed to the jury seats. "This is ****ed up!" Opal yelled.

"Wo," Chris said, "Keep the show family-friendly, Opal!"

"Also, these two people are returning to the game! Remember them?"

Two boys walked out of the shadows. One had slicked-back red hair, sunglasses, black pants, and a red hoodie, over a black shirt, with a golden bird, a phoenix, on it.

He grinned, wickedly, as if he knew everyone, though no one knew him.

The other wore a sleeveless blue hoodie, had a crew cut, blue jeans, and stood roughly the tallest person in the game, beating Griff's record by a good inch or two. He was also incredibly ripped, with huge biceps, the size of giant grapefruit, (or small watermelon). He had a steel eight-pack you could see through his shirt, and looked like a Brawny Crawfish for sure. But only one Crawfish had been voted out, and one had left from injury. It wasn't Loco or Jacob...

"Uh... Chris? We've never seen these guys in our life... How could they be returning?" Alysson asked.

"It's Cardinal and Griff!" Chris smiled. Cardinal and Griff laughed. Cardinal said, "I go by Phoenix now. I've risen from the ashes of my last defeat, only to be reborn stronger!"

Griff loudly cleared his throat. "Oh," Cardinal added, "And he's 'the Gryphon' now."

Confession Cam:

Ella: And I thought I was dramatic...

End Confession

Lucina laughed. "Nice try, bird breath. You're still Cardinal to me!" Phoenix snapped, and Gryphon picked up a rock, and crushed it in his hand. Phoenix smiled. "I really think it'd be easier to consent with Gryphon and I," he said, almost laughing. Lucina gulped. "Yes, Phoenix," She said. Phoenix said, "Thanks, Lucina. Now, you've tried to vote me out twice, and I've found the idol three times, so, why not jump onto my ship?"

Lucina laughed. She said, "What would I be? La Chupacabra?" Phoenix glared and responded, "When you're reborn as we were, you can choose your own name, Lucina."

Chris laughed, awkwardly, and said, "So, I've said before, those who are voted back from Pahkitew, will NOT be on the jury! So, Griff...in, don't get voted out again, you can't come back! Card-I mean - Phoenix, you can be voted back onto the jury, but another idol will do you no good after you leave. This is YOUR last chance as well. Try not to get voted out tonight!"

Cameras poke out of a tree, rock, an egg, and Azul picks it up. The camera hits Chris in the forehead.

Dear mom and dad, I'm doing fine

Ella smiles, waves, blows kisses, and bows to the cameras.

You guys are on my mind

Lucina rolls her eyes, and looks over at Corbin, in a beach chair rubbing tanning lotion on himself.

You asked me what I wanted to be

Phoenix glares at Lucina and snaps. Gryphon throws a knife at her.

And now I think the answer is plain to see

The knife goes through a window, spearing a rotisserie chicken, Arnold's holding a chicken leg, Alysson a wing, their eyes are wide open in fright.

I wanna be... famous...

Tai's doing some cool muay tai moves, and Caeden grins, joining in.

I wanna live close to the sun...

Emma and Dixie look at Tai and Caeden, who wink at the girls.

Well pack your bags, 'cuz I've already won...

Tara is doing sit ups... the camera zooms out, showing her on a cliff.

Everything to prove, nothing in my way...

She falls, screaming, into Chef's arms. She salutes him.

I'll get there one day...

All of the campers line up next to each other.

'Cuz I wanna be famous

They jump into canoes, with oars, and Phoenix knocks Lucina out of hers.

I wanna be.. I wanna be... I wanna be famous!

Alysson chucks one at Phoenix, who scrambles, falling, but Gryphon grabs his collar, saving him.

I wanna be... I wanna be... I wanna be famous!

Another paddle launches out of nowhere, knocking Gryphon and Phoenix into the water.

*Whistle, whistle, whistle!*

Chris is in a machine, with a paddle-cannon, he laughs maniacally, and shrugs. A paddle hits the screen, shattering the opening scene

Phoenix walked up to Gryphon. He said, "So... Gryphon... I know I voted you out, but it was the worst mistake of my life! I went home, because I trusted Lucina, and she voted against me again!" Gryphon shrugged. "It's cool," he said, "I wouldn't've ended up like this." He flexed, showing biceps like bowling balls. Phoenix smiled, "So we're good, then?" Gryphon nodded.

Confession Cam:

Phoenix: I couldn't save Jacob, but just look at Gryphon! He was on Team Brain, too! He's going to help me take out La Chica Freaka, Little Miss Backstabber, Lucina. He'll help me go final three, but I'll get rid of him then, since I can't compete with his muscles.

End Confession

Chris said, "Alright, campers! Today is a team challenge!"

Phoenix and Gryphon fist bumped.

Confession Cam:

Caeden: Alright! Quality time with my girl! I'm so glad we're together now... And I think Tai and Emma are getting together?

End Confession

"That's right! Two versus two versus two versus two versus two versus one! Wow, that was redundant. And hard. Today, you and one other will be fighting off two other people in a dodgeball match! A nod to one of our first challenges, here on Total Drama! Once both of you are hit with a ball, you are out of the tournament. Last team left wins immunity tonight! Who wants to go first?"

Tara interrupted, "I'll do it, sir!" Chris shrugged. "Whatever floats your goat."

Phoenix asked, "You mean, 'floats your boat'?" Chris shrugged again, and said, "If that floats your goat."

Chris said, "Alright, so after Tara, of course, we have:

"Caeden and Dixie! Versus Emma and Tai!"

Confession Cam:

Caeden: What? Those are my only other allies! I can't beat Tai! He could go home! These guys are my Brawn alliance!

Tara: I don't need anyone. I'm a one-woman-show! I can beat all these guys by myself!

End Confession

Chris continued, "Next,

"Phoenix and Gryphon versus Tara and Arnold!"

Arnold turned pale. Gryphon cracked his neck, and Phoenix cackled.

Confession Cam:

Tara: I take that back... Crap.

End Confession

Chris said, "After that, we have the Latino and Latina, Corbin and Lucina against 'TD Project: Stars' Stars, Ella and Alysson!

"The three winning teams will move on! Let's go! Cue Tara and Arnold's UTTER HUMILIATION!"

Arnold gulped. "It's going to be fine," Tara told him. Arnold shook his head. Gryphon thundered into the court, and Phoenix slinked in, quietly, tossing a ball in his hands.

"Alright... FIGHT!" Chris yelled. Phoenix turned to Gryphon. He said, "Ok, big guy, aim hard, and fast at them. I will use my obvious intelligence to hit them just right, let's go!"

Arnold threw the ball weakly, still paralyzed in fear of the new kingpins. Tara growled, and threw a ball at Phoenix. He saw it as she let go. He smirked, dodged the ball, and threw a curveball, hitting Arnold in the back. He stepped off the court.

Confession Cam:

Arnold: Oh, I'm so glad that Phoenix is the one that hit me! Gryphon would've hurt!

End Confession

Tara picked up two balls, as did Gryphon and Phoenix. Phoenix smiled, and tossed his two to Gryphon, who threw the balls at superhuman speed. Tara could only dodge the first three, and got the wind knocked out of her on the fourth.

Chris yelled, "Next! Emma and Tai versus Daeden!"

Tai sighed, and frowned. He threw the ball as bad as he could. Caeden, understanding, threw the ball too far left to hit anyone. Dixie caught on, and threw the ball only slightly over Emma's head. "Hey!" Emma huffed. "I thought we were friends!" she yelled. Tai signed, "No! She tried not to touch you! We don't want to get them out!" Emma looked over, and said, "What do raspberries have to do with anything?" She threw a ball as hard and fast as possible at Dixie, who wasn't fast enough to get out of the way. Caeden opened his eyes wide, trying to comprehend why this girl was out to kill him and his girlfriend. Emma threw another speed demon at Caeden, and hit him in the stomach.

"THAT'S GAME!" Chris yelled. "Next!" he yelled.

Corbin and Lucina jumped into the court, with two dodgeballs, and Ella and Alysson took aim. Corbin jumped in front of Lucina and threw one at Ella, who dodged gracefully, and said, "Tango classes just paid off!" Corbin glared, and Alysson threw one at Corbin, who deflected it with his own dodgeball. Corbin threw two at Corbin, one hit him and another hit Ella. "Talk about killing two with one stone! Our semi-finals will be tomorrow!" Chris yelled. "Also, we told the two people left on Pahkitew Island, Rory and Jaedyn, that if they could win the tournament, they'd be back in the game, so they'll be sleeping in the winner's mansion for tonight!" At that moment, a helicopter dropped off Jaedyn and Rory. "Alright! Let's get cookin'!" Chris yelled.

Author's note:

Alright, so Opal was voted out, and Alysson has no hope at love. :'(

Well, let me know if Jaedyn and Rory should be given this second chance, or if they get beaten in dodgeball and the game.

Please send some OC's to my project, When Worlds Collide!

Thanks for all of my readers!
