This story is just about halfway over, I just hope I can finish it before school starts up. But until them, enjoy the chapter.
"Last time on Total Drama Rankor Island, our teams channeled their inner mad scientist in this week's robot building challenge. Despite the White Rooks having Christine, who builds robots on a regular basis, the victory went to the Black Knights. This was thanks to a sneak attack by Lucy. But someone had to be voted off, and that someone was Rodrick, leaving Christine to deal with the rest of her team alone. We're down to only ten campers left, what sort of surprises and drama will unfold with today's challenge? Find out right now on Total Drama Rankor Island!"
Everyone was in the mess hall eating their breakfast with their respective teams. Eddy and Lucy were casually talking Isaac was watching Lacey. Christine was sitting away from her teammates. The silence was broken by Chris, who spoke to the contestants via the intercom system.
"Attention campers, I need to see all of you at the dock immediately. This is important."
The 10 of them arrived at the docks where Chris was waiting for them, he was looking out towards the ocean as if he was waiting for something.
"Good to see you all here." Chris began, turning to face them all. "When this game originally began, there were twenty of you and here we are down to half of that number. I talked with the producers and we decided to give you all a little surprise."
"Is it a vacation?" Lacey asked.
"Nope!" Chris answered.
"A trip to the spa?" Tina added.
"A new car?" Chuck questioned.
"Money?" Eddy asked.
"No, no, and no." Chris replied. The sound of a boat caught everyone's attention. "The producers wanted to give two campers a second chance to win. We decided to create a poll for our fans asking him who they wanted to come back. So here are the two contestants that our fans chose to return to the game."
The boat sailed up to the docks, two people stepped off of the boat and onto the docks. The people made a few of the contestants gasp in shock.
"Get ready, because Sarah and Kevin are back!" Chris announced.
"What! Why them?!" Donny argued.
"Well according to the polls, the fans wanted Sarah to come back because they think she didn't have enough time to really bond with you guys. As for Kevin, they claimed he had 'unfinished business' with a few people here." Chris stated.
*confessionals*
Christine: Yes! Kevin's back in the game! This might be my only chance to get close to him, I need to make it count.
Eddy: Heh, it's pretty cool to see my friend back. But here's the thing, Kevin might be placed on the other team which means I'll probably have to go up against him. Not to mention the merge is coming up soon.
Donny: So I get another chance to get Sarah, sweeeeet. As for Kevin, it's cool to have a bro back, just as long as he doesn't get in my way again.
Drake: I see no point in bringing anyone back, they'll just be eliminated again.
Asuka: This would certainly make the game more interesting, we didn't get to see much of what Sarah was capable of since she was the first person to be voted off.
*end confessionals*
"So how do you two feel about being brought back into the game?" Chris asked the two returning campers.
"Well, I'm excited to be back and I'm glad I get to see you all again. However I did watch what happened ever since I left." Sarah said, glancing at Drake.
"I'm just glad I get another chance to kick ass and win the million!" Kevin proclaimed.
"Well you're gonna have to get past us Kev!" Eddy said back at him. He and Lacey gave Kevin a confident smirk, the jock gave them the same look.
"So Chris, now that Sarah and Kevin are back, whose team are they going on?" Asuka asked.
"That's a good question and it brings us to the second order of business. As of now, the teams are officially dissolved. It's every camper for themselves now!" Chris announced, some of the campers were quick to express their excitement while others were a bit nervous.
*confessionals*
Christine: Well I honestly didn't expect to make it to the merge but making it this far means I have to try harder. But now that the teams are dissolved I have no real teammates or allies.
Kevin: This isn't really the way I wanted to get to the merge but I'm here now and I'm gonna win! Drake's the biggest threat so he has to be taken down first.
Sarah: Since I was eliminated first, I didn't really have much of a chance to show what I can do. However, now that I'm back, I can not lose now! I also can't afford to let Drake win, he's proven himself to be a sociopath!
Chuck: Ok, I made it to the merge! But now everyone's gonna turn on each other, I'm gonna be the next one gone for sure. I think I need to form am alliance with someone... I need to ask Asuka for help. Who knows, maybe Asuka and I will be more than friends after after this! Hehe...
Asuka: I knew I could get this far, but victory is still a long way off. I need to get the biggest threats out quickly. Drake is my first target, he's smart and I'm positive he's planning something big!
Drake: It was obvious that I would be in the merge. Bringing those two losers back only delays the inevitable. Though I can not let my guard down, it's time to start taking out the stronger competitors. However I can't take the biggest threat out first, it wouldn't be fun.
Donny: Haha! Made it to the merge baby! I'm halfway to the million and nobody's stopping me now!
Lacey: It's great that I made it this far, but I need some new allies now that the teams are dissolved. Asuka seems like the person who would rather not be in an alliance. Drake is an *sshole and Donny is a pervert so they're useless. But who would be the best person to form an alliance with?
Tina: Eleven more losers to go. Once I win the money I'll gather as many guys and girls as I can and well... let's just say it'll be a lot of fun, teehee.
Isaac: Wow, I can't believe I lasted until the merge! But the teams are gone now and, compared to the others, I'm not much of a threat. I think I might be the next one leaving, and if I am, I need to tell Lacey how I feel!
Eddy: Man am I psyched to have made it this far! The others are pretty alright, they're solid competitors. Honestly I'm also kind of glad Lucy's here too, I can't explain it but ever since I started talking to her, I've been seeing her differently... Don't get the wrong idea though! I'm still in this game for the money... just the money!
Lucy: Making it to the merge is cool and all but Drake is still here and I need him gone! I'm just glad I have Eddy as a friend, he's a little rough around the edges but he's a really nice guy! Plus he and I came up with some totally wicked pranks together!

"Now for what you've all been waiting for, the challenge. According to ancient Ronkor Island lore, there was once a tribe on this island that would perform various rituals to their gods in return the gods would provide them with good weather that would lead to bountiful crops." Chris explained.
"If I wanted a history lesson, I would've stayed at school!" Donny said, interrupting Chris.
"Let me finish dude, anyway, this ancient tribe would craft talismans that they used to please their gods. Your challenge is to bring me one of these talismans. If you're wondering where they are, I have no idea, either in the woods or mountains." Chris finished. "Keep in kind, just because the teams are merged doesn't mean you have to do this challenge alone. Since I'm feeling nice today if a pair brings me the talisman then both people are safe for tonight's elimination."
The twelve campers waited for Chris to begin the challenge.
"What are you all waiting for? Go!" Chris announced, the campers all ran off to find the talisman.
Kevin was looking around the woods, Christine was nearby watching him. She wanted to talk to him but her nerves were getting the better of her. Ultimately, she did muster up the courage to talk to him.
"Um... h-hey Kevin." She greeted.
"Oh, hey Christy." Kevin returned the greeting.
"I have an idea of where the talisman might be, do you want to look for it together?" The small girl asked.
"Sure, why not." Kevin answered, the two headed towards the mountains of the island.
*confessionals*
Christine: This is my chance to make my move. I just hope I don't screw it up!
Kevin: Christine's pretty sweet, cute too! But I have to make sure I don't lose focus on playing the game, I can't help Isaac anymore, it's every man for himself.
*end confessionals*
Sarah was searching with with Chuck and Isaac. They had asked Asuka to look with them but she refused. They were currently in the woods.
"So Sarah, did you and Steven finally get together?" Chuck teased.
"Yes actually, Stevie was really nervous about asking me but now we're happy together." Sarah answered. "But we need to focus on the challenge."
Isaac thought about something for a moment.
"I'm gonna have to leave you guys, there's just something I need to take care of." Isaac said, leaving the two and heading towards the beach.
Eddy and Lucy were looking around in the woods, as they did they were talking about how they would get back at Drake.
"We could soak his clothes with the toilet water in the communal washrooms?" Lucy suggested.
"I'm not gonna lie, that would be absolutely hilarious. But we need to have him voted off, prank in him isn't enough." Eddy replied.
"All we need to do is make sure he doesn't win invincibility, we aren't the only ones voting for him either so he'd be finished."
"We just have to make sure he isn't safe."
Lacey was looking around the beach by herself, Isaac found her looking around a rock formation.
"Hey Lacey!" Isaac greeted, blushing a little bit.
"Isaac? What are you doing here, you almost gave me a heart attack!" Lacey said back at him.
"S-sorry, but there was something I wanted to ask you."
"What is it?"
"Lacey... will you be my girlfriend?" Isaac asked.
"I don't really want to be in any alliances." Lacey replied.
"This isn't about an alliance."
"Oh... well I'm sorry to say this but I'm not really looking for a relationship right now." Lacey said, Isaac looked disappointed but he wasn't crushed.
"Ah well, I tried." He said.
"Wait what?"
"Well I'm not gonna get mad that you rejected me. You don't want a boyfriend and I can respect that."
"Ok good. I checked the whole beach by the way and there's nothing here. I'll see you later ok." Lacey said, walking away, though she turned to ask Isaac one last thing.
"You're not going to vote me off for rejecting you, are you?"
"Of course not." Isaac answered.
"Ok good." Lacey said, leaving Isaac.
*confessionals*
Lacey: I'm kind of surprised he took that as well as he did! Isaac's a sweet guy, but I don't want a boyfriend right now.
Isaac: You thought I would suddenly hate her because she rejected me? Well no, that's stupid.
*end confessionals*
Drake was going up the mountain on the island, as he went up he heard a strange noise coming from behind a pile of rocks. He slowly approached the rocks and was disgusted to see Tina and Donny making out. The couple looked at him, each reacting differently. Donny looked at Drake as if he was asking for some privacy while Tina winked at him as if she was asking him to join.
Drake walked away, shaking his head in disapproval. He eventually came across a door that was camouflaged in the wall of the mountain. Drake peered inside the room to see Chef and some interns watching the others do the challenge. He saw Asuka nearing the peak of the mountain, she walked up to some sort of altar and saw the talisman on a stone plate on the altar.
Asuka grabbed the talisman and ran off, heading down the mountain.
"So all she has to do now is head to the docks, right Chef?" One intern asked, to which Chef nodded.
'Not if I have anything to say about it!' Drake thought to himself.
Asuka was about halfway down the mountain when something in the shadows beside her leaped onto her. Whatever it was quickly got off of Asuka and ran away. Asuka got up and brushed herself off before realizing that whatever attacked her had taken the talisman away from her. Asuka looked up to see Drake running away with the talisman in his hand.
"That son of a-" Asuka cursed before running after Drake. The two ran off of the mountain and into the forest. "Get back here!"
From the camera room, Chef saw all that was happening and notified Chris about it. Chris seemed perfectly fine with telling the other contestants about where the talisman was now.
"Attention everyone, Drake has the talisman and is now heading to the docks! This is your last chance to try and get invincibility!" Chris announced.
'Thanks Chris, thanks a lot.' Drake thought to himself. The two were nearing the docks, Asuka was at arms length of Drake. Once she got a hold of him though, it was too late.
"And Drake wins invincibility!" Chris announced, some of the others (who were just arriving at the docks) gasped.
"Mark my words Drake, I will get you back for this!" Asuka hissed.
"If you say so." Drake replied.
"As for the rest of you, you can not vote for Drake tonight, I'll see you all then." Chris said.
Later that day, Chuck and Isaac saw Sarah tying vines to a rather large log and securing the log onto a tree. The two decided to go ask her why she was doing this.
"Uh Sarah, what are you doing?" Chuck asked.
"Oh, hi boys! I was just making my own punching bag." Sarah answered.
"You make your own punching bags?" Isaac questioned, he sounded surprised.
"Of course, how else am I going to practice my martial arts? I doubt anyone here would spat with me."
"Can... can you teach us some martial arts?" Chuck asked.
"I'd be glad to! We can start now if you'd like." Sarah responded. Sarah began teaching the two boys basic martial arts skills, as they were practicing, Chuck asked the two a question.
"So who are you two going to vote for?"
"I'd don't have any bad feelings toward anyone personally, but Drake has done the most harm here so it would be smart to vote him off. However, he has invincibility, so I don't know who I should vote for now." Sarah answered.
"Well in my opinion, there is somebody on the island that's just been creeping me out since day one and I think they need to go." Isaac said.
"I guess we'll see what happens tonight. I just hope none of us get kicked off." Chuck noted.
"It would suck to be voted out again." Sarah added.
The twelve contestants were all at the campfire ceremony, Chris brought out the marshmallows but there were only ten marshmallows instead of eleven.
"Hey Chris what's the deal? Only one of us is suppose to leave." Donny said.
"Not this time Donny, tonight were going to have a Double Elimination!" Chris said, some of the contestants gasped in pure shock.
"Now since Drake has invincibility, he gets the first marshmallow."

"Asuka."

"Donny."

"Sarah." Chris announced, tossing Sarah her marshmallow. Sarah caught the marshal mow and sighed with relief.

"Kevin. So Tina and Lacey, it's time to go!" Chris announced.
"What?! This isn't fair! Isaac, I thought you said you wouldn't vote for me!" Lacey argued.
"I didn't! I promise I didn't!" Isaac responded.
"Then who did?" Lacey questioned, she saw Drake smirking at her.
"Why am I being voted out?" Tina asked.
"Why? You've pervert on every single person here since the show started! The shocking part is that you've made this far!" Asuka shouted at her.
"As much as I'd love to see how this plays out, we're on a time schedule so... bye!" Chris said, sending the girls away on the Cannon of Shame.
"We've gone from ten to twelve and back to ten. Will Sarah stay longer this time? Will Kevin get back at Donny? And will anyone ever beat Drake? Find out next time on Total Drama Rankor Island!" Chris signed off.
That's the end of the chapter, how do you feel about who came back and who left? Also would you believe it was actually hard deciding who would be voted off? Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the chapter.
