"Last time on Total Drama Fazbear Returns, our team's were put in a bo staff battle against Total Drama Alumni, Krystal. With the goal obviously being to be the first team to defeat the staff wielding, blue furred vixen." Marionette started. "This started to grow very heated between Laura and Carson when Laura's next target suspect, Chester, who both Carson and Carly tried to tell her was innocent, proved he was innocent. All to try and prove that Ray didn't steal from his own team. Doug and Rachel set out to try and make heart broken Moxie feel better...and take a shower, after the elimination of her best friend Bonnet. That's just as sad as Teddy's best friend. And Baron's frustration grew, as he failed to come up with any sort of ideas to take care of his Betty problem, even thought Chelsea already gave him one. Dude seriously needs to take a chill pill. *Chuckles*" he continued. "But, in the end, after an action packed gauntlet full of competitors being thrown around by Krystal and her impress bo-staff skills, and both Betty and Laura putting on amazing performances, it would be Baron finally overcoming the odds and not only picking up the win for The Charming Lights, but taking the vixen down after suffering an embarrassing take down at the hands of her earlier on in the challenge, sending The Ghastly Shadows to the Bonfire Ceremony, where Shade was sent packing in another surprising elimination." He finished.
"What'll happen this week?" Marionette asked. "Find out right now on another exciting edition of..."
"Total..."
"Drama..."
"Fazbear..."
"RETURNS!"
(Cues Theme Music)
Alexa and Chester were currently on their way to meet with Chelsea to discuss their findings. As they walked towards their meet up spot, Alexa was drawing away in her notebook.
"You still workin' on them costumes?" Chester asked.
"They're not costumes, they're cute as heck team uniforms. And...um...what was the question again?" Alexa asked, as she tried to remember where she was going with that.
"It was are you still workin' on those team costu-I mean... team uniforms?" Chester asked. Alexa smiled and nodded.
"Of course I am, Christian!" She replied, confusing Chester.
"Who's Christian?" Chester asked.
"You are, silly. Don't you remember your own name?" Alexa said with a slight giggle.
"Umm... is my name Christian?" Chester said, pondering what he had just found out.
The two continued walking until they finally saw Chelsea in the distance. Alexa continued to draw, and Chester continued to wonder if his name really was Christian as they approached her.
"There you two are. What took so long?" Chelsea asked, as the two competitors neared her.
"Well, I was-" Alexa started, before being cut off.
"-And as much as I would like for you to explain what actually took so long, we don't have time for that." Chelsea said, as she stared at the lioness. "Anyway, have either of you found anything yet?" She asked, hoping that one of them had found the statuette.
"Well, I's lookin' but I didn't find anything." Chester replied. He didn't want to let Chelsea down. He was mad at himself that he hadn't found anything yet. "But that doesn't mean I ain't goin' to keep lookin' until I find that statuette thingy!" He exclaimed, in a determined tone. Chelsea didn't look too impressed. She stared at him for several seconds, before looking back over at Alexa, who had gone back to drawing in her notebook.
"What about you?" She asked. Alexa continued to hum, as she drew in her notebook. "Hey! Earth to deaf girl!" She said, as she waved her paw in Alexa's face.
"Huh? Oh, I Chelsea!" Alexa exclaimed, finally looking up from her drawing. "Did you say something?" She asked, slightly tilting her head to the side as she did.
"Yes! I did! I asked what your progress was on finding the statuette." Chelsea replied, growing more and more annoyed.
"Ohhhh! Okay! Um... I haven't found anything." Alexa replied, Chelsea covered her face with both of her hands, trying to remain as calm as she could.
"You haven't found anything...?" She repeated in a muffled tone, before finally removing her hands, once again revealing her annoyed face.
"Well, I was looking, and then this thing fell out of a tree and hit me in the head. It, like, seriously hurt." Alexa said, before rubbing the spot on her head where she was hit previously. Chelsea grew curious about this.
"Something fell out of a tree, and hit you on the head?" She asked. Alexa nodded.
"Yeah! It was, like, wooden... and it looked like Marionette." She replied. As she did, Chelsea's eyes almost bulged out of her head.
"What!?" She yelled, almost a little too loud. "W-what did you do with it! Where is it!" She continued.
"I threw it into a bush. What's wrong?" Alexa asked, confused as to why Chelsea was yelling.
"Take me to where you threw it! NOW!" Chelsea yelled, as she grabbed Alexa's arm and pulled her in front of her.
"Okay! Geez. No need to be all grabby." Alexa said, as she started leading Chelsea into the woods. Chester watched the females in silence as they walked away. He looked around seeing no one was around, before shrugging.
"Hey! Wait up, y'all!" He called, as he ran after them.
(Confessional -Alexa)
Alexa sat in front of the camera with her pen and notepad in her paw, but a confused look on her face.
"Like, I don't get what made Chelsea so crabby. Alls I did was throw a stupid wooden Marionette looking thing into a bush. What's the big deal?" Alexa asked, still confused as to why Chelsea was so mad.
(Confessional End)
(With Cindy)
Cindy had been sneaking around camp watching Baron, as he watched Betty. She wanted to find out what his obsession with the rabbit was.
She followed them through the woods for awhile, before they headed back towards camp.
Betty headed straight for the dining hall, with Baron trailing behind her.
"Hmmm..." Cindy hummed, as she watched. She wasn't really all too surprised that she could apparently add ''stalker'' to the notes she had picked up about Baron.
Cindy ducked behind a tree as Betty disappeared into the dining hall. Baron waited for several seconds afterwords, before following behind her.
Once the coast was clear, Cindy headed in herself. She walked in, immediately searching for Baron. Her eyes landed on him sitting in the same spot he had sat in the previous day.
Betty sat at The Ghastly Shadows table eating away at her breakfast, not even paying Baron any mind. Cindy had no clue if she knew he was watching her or not.
Baron sat at The Charming Lights table, again trying to come up with a way to get Betty's teammates to turn on her. He was furious at the fact that Chelsea had blown him off for the "meeting" they were supposed to have.
He caught her tripping Betty up in the last challenge, and knew it was a start to getting rid of her. But he was still annoyed.
Betty continued to eat her food, again, not even paying either competitor in the room with her any mind.
Cindy had made her way over to counter and grabbed her a plate of food, before heading over to The Ghastly Shadows table. She sat down at the opposite end from where Betty sat. She slowly ate her food, as she threw quick glances at both Baron and Betty. She planned on doing just that until she found out what was going on between the two competitors.
(Confessional -Baron)
Baron angrily sat in front of the camera with his arms crossed, and scowl on his face.
"Chelsea blowing me off is one thing, but the fact that Betty seems so confident that nothing's going to happen to her irritates me. She's been in my way since the beginning, and she hasn't showed any signs in getting out of it." Baron started, before looking away from the camera. "If I have to take care of Betty without Chelsea's help, then so be it. But the chicken isn't getting away from this unscathed. No she isn't." He continued, slowly shaking his head as he did.
(Switch to -Betty)
Betty sat in front of the camera with a smile on her face as she looked around the small confessional.
"Is it just me, or has this room gotten smaller since the last time I was here?" Betty asked, before slightly twitching, as her fur spiked up. "Baron is awful at stalking. I could hear him walking behind me the whole time I was in the woods. And it's not like he wasn't making it obvious in the dining hall. I don't know what that morons up to, but I'll make him regret whatever it is." She continued, in a low, menacing tone. After, she slightly twitched again, before she started flattening her fur. "Seriously, I think the room has gotten smaller." She continued, before letting out a giggle.
(Switch to -Cindy)
Cindy sat in front of the camera with a somewhat curious look on her face.
"Okay, I'm really curious now as to what's going on with Baron and Betty. Did Betty do something that made Baron mad at her? Because I don't know why he would just start following her around out of the blue. It's weird, even for Baron. He seems like more of a yeller than a stalker." Cindy started. "I will find out though. It's a good thing I'm also working on trying to learn more about everyone. It's like killing two birds with one stone." She continued.
(Confessional End)
(With Rachel, Doug, and Moxie)
Rachel and Doug had managed to her Moxie out of bed and convinced her to come swimming with them in the lake.
The group had reached the dark and stood there staring out at the water in front of them.
"Are you ready?" Rachel asked, a smile present on her face, as she looked over at the vixen. Moxie continued to stare straight, before looking over at her.
"I guess." She replied, not sounding too enthused to even be there.
"Okay! Then lets go." Rachel exclaimed, before her and Doug ran to the end of the dock and jumped into the water. The water splashed, as the two competitors disappeared underneath it.
Several seconds passed, before the two reemerged from underneath the water. They looked back towards the dock and saw Moxie still standing there.
"Come on, Moxie. The water's great!" Rachel exclaimed. Doug nodded in agreement. Moxie stared out a the two competitors, before sighing. She slowly walked down the dock, before dropping into the water. She didn't even jump. She just kinda walked off of the dock. Doug and Rachel looked at each other, waiting for the vixen to reappear. Once she did, they both looked back at her. She still had that flat, depressed look on her face.
"Fun..." Moxie said. Rachel and Doug gave her a sympathetic look. She clearly wasn't enjoying herself, which is what they were trying to get her to do. They stared at her for several seconds, before once again looking back at each other.
(Confessional -Rachel)
Rachel sat in front of the camera with a disappointed look on her face.
"Gosh, I was really hoping taking Moxie swimming in the lake would make her feel a little bit better." Rachel started, before shaking her head. "Even though that didn't work, it doesn't mean I'm giving up on her. Doug and I are going to continue to do whatever we can to make her feel better." She said, sounding more determined than before.
(Switch to -Doug)
Doug sat in front of the camera with the same slightly disappointed look on his face that Rachel had. He had been just as hopeful as Rachel was that they could cheer Moxie up, but they failed to do so again.
(Switch to -Moxie)
Moxie sat in front of the camera with that same saddened expression on her face that she has had since Bonnet was eliminated. She sat in silence, before letting out a sigh.
"Fun..." Moxie muttered. After that, she went back to sitting in silence.
(Confessional End)
(With Carson and Carly)
Carson and Carly had returned to the beach where they had been the previous day. They were back to sitting in an awkward silence, as they stared out at the lake water.
"I-I'm sorry." Carly apologized quietly, breaking the silence. Carson looked over at her somewhat confused.
"Sorry for what?" He asked.
"For not being too interesting." Carly replied, trying to avoid eye contact with him. Carson shook his head.
"Not being too interesting? No way! Carly, you're the most interesting person I've ever met." He said, getting Carly to finally look at him.
"I-I don't really see how." She said.
"I can name a bunch of reasons. You're smart, funny, into video games-oh, and I can't forget to mention just how cute you are." Carson said. Carly blushed a deep shade of red, before looking away from him. Carson closed his eyes tight as she did. Again, he mentally scolded himself, wondering why in the heck he felt the need to add the last part.
As the silence continued, Carson slowly opened his eyes. Carly was still avoiding eye contact with him, out of embarrassment most likely. But he did notice her biting her bottom lip, and her right ear slightly twitching.
They both sat in silence, trying to come up with something to say to the other. Carly wanted to respond to him, but she was way too flushed to even look over at him. Carson on the other hand was trying to think of something that would hopefully make her feel less embarrassed.
"I-uh... didn't mean to-" Carson finally started, before quickly being interrupted.
"T-thank you." Carly finally responded, as she turned to him. He could tell that she was still slightly blushing, but she was trying to calm herself down. "I'm s-sorry for interrupting you. I-I didn't mean to." She quickly apologized afterwords. Carson's small smile returned to his face, as he shook his head.
"It's okay. No need to apologize." He replied. As he did, they locked eyes. They sat in silence as they stared at each other.
Neither of them noticed that the others hand/paw that rested in the sand, started sliding towards each other. They were about to touch, when they were interrupted.
"Carson, Carly, enjoying the beach again I see." A voice called as it approached. Carson closed his eyes and sighed deeply. Carly stared at him, before looking over at the approaching officer-in-training.
"Good morning, Laura." She said, before looking back at Carson. He was majorly disappointed in having the moment ruined yet again.
"Good morning." Laura said, as she looked down at the cat. "So, today I was thinking about the possibility that maybe it wasn't a Charming Light that committed the crime." She continued, getting Carson's attention.
"What are you talking about?" He asked.
"Well, something I learned is that the least likely person is always the guilty one. And obviously our teammates seemed like they would have been the most guilty suspects for this crime. However, it is very possible that this is exactly what The Ghastly Shadows wanted." Laura replied.
"Wait, so now you're saying the whole Ghastly Shadows team did it?" Carson asked, as he pushed himself up to his feet. Carly followed suit, doing the same thing. Laura shook her head.
"No. I'm not saying that at all. But, it may not be too far fetched to think that it is possible that one or more of The Ghastly Shadows may have had something to do with it." She replied.
"Okay, but which Ghastly Shadow did you see have something against Ray? Because I honestly don't know why someone who didn't have some sort of vendetta him, would go out of their way to set all of this up and frame him." Carson said. Laura thought about it for several seconds, before they were interrupted by loud cheering just off the beach. They all looked over and saw a wide smiled Mojo in the midst of some sort of small celebration.
"Hmm..." Laura hummed, as she stared at him. Carson quickly realized what she had on her mind.
"Come on, Laura. Seriously? Mojo?" He said curiously. Laura nodded.
"Yes. You can't count anyone out." She replied, before motioning them to follow. "Now lets catch up to him before he disappears." She continued, before starting her walk towards the hyped-up jock.
Carson and Carly looked at each other. Carson shook his head, before they started following after.
Mojo stood just off of beach trying to catch his breath after his small celebration.
"Mojo, hold up." He head, before turning around. That's when he saw Laura, Carson, and Carly approaching him.
"Oh, good mornin', opponents!" Mojo exclaimed. "Mojo just broke his record on running and ran fifteen miles this mornin!" He exclaimed, proud of his accomplishment.
"That's great, Mojo. But we have some questions we would like to ask you." Laura said, not losing that serious tone in her voice. Mojo was slightly confused, but he went along with it.
"Okay, shoot. But Mojo ain't got long before his next workout, so kinda make it quick." He replied.
"Alright. Where were you on the early morning of the day The Charming Lights cabin was broken into, and our teammates belongings were stolen?" Laura asked. Mojo grew even more confused. He hadn't really been paying attention to what had been going on around camp, so this was really the first he was hearing about any sort of cabin break ins and robberies.
"That all depends on how early it was. If it was between midnight and five A.M., then Mojo was in bed restin' up for the day. But, if it was anytime after that, he was out on his mornin' run, before his mornin' workout." Mojo replied.
"Uh, hum." Laura started, as she stared at him. Carson and Carly stood behind her in silence, as they continued to watch. "Do you currently hold some kind of dislike towards The Charming Lights? Perhaps because of how many times we've defeated The Ghastly Shadows?" She asked. Mojo shook his head.
"Not at all. Loses ain't really Mojo's thing, but that doesn't mean I'm'a hater." He replied. Laura didn't look like she was buying it.
"Or maybe you knew deep down that those losses were eating you up inside. You're used to being a winner, but not here. You can't stand losing. So you decided to take it out on the team who continued to beat you, adding loss after loss to your record." Laura said. Mojo shook his head.
"That ain't true. Mojo ain't a sore loser." He replied.
"No ones a sore loser... until they lose." Laura said, that's when Carson cut in.
"Okay, okay. Stop." He said, looking at Laura. "Mojo, we're sorry about... this. We're just trying to find out who broke into our cabin and stole our things." He explained, looking over at Mojo.
"Just to clear things up, Mojo's innocent. I ain't no thief." Mojo said. Carson nodded.
"You're good, Mojo. Don't we worry." He said.
"Good, Mojo appreciates that. Hope you find who you're actually lookin' for." Mojo said.
"Thank you." Carson said. Mojo nodded.
"Mojo's gotta run. It protein shake time!" Mojo exclaimed. He glanced over at Laura, before finally running off towards the dining hall. As he ran off, both Carson and Carly looked at Laura.
"What was that?!" Carson asked asked, as he motioned back towards Mojo.
"A new interrogation method I wanted to try out." Laura replied. "Why did you interrupt me again?" She asked.
"Because you're going after the wrong people! You're supposed to be a cop in training, but you don't seem to know how to run an investigation." Carson said, this surprised Laura.
"I know exactly how to run an investigation! I'm making progress. It's taking time. I want to solve this case just as bad as you, but you can't rush these things. And as I've already said a million times-" Laura was saying, before being interrupted.
"-Yeah, yeah. I got it. Everyone's guilty until proven innocent." Carson said. Laura nodded.
"Exactly. You may think you know who did it, but in reality you don't. I'm trying to find out for sure so more innocent people don't become victims." She said. Carson and Carly stood in silence as they stared at her. "I'm going to grab a bite to eat for breakfast as I try and think about this case a little more. The two of you are welcome to join me if you would like to discuss." She continued. After, she gave the two competitors a nod, before heading off towards the dining hall.
As she walked away, both Carson and Carly looked at each other. They needed to do some thinking about the case too.
(Confessional -Mojo)
Mojo sat in front of the camera with his paws on his knees and a slightly annoyed look on his face.
"Mojo ain't never stolen nothin'! Well, except a couple of guy's girlfriends, and the ball from the other team in whatever sport I was playin'. But! Besides that, Mojo ain't never stolen nothin'!" Mojo exclaimed defensively.
(Switch to -Carly)
Carly sat in front of the camera, trying to avoid eye contact with it as usual.
"I-um... I agree with what Carson has been saying." Carly started, her cheeks slightly heating up as she did. "I-I'm sorry, but we're never going to find who set Ray up if Laura keeps accusing the wrong people." She continued, her tone quiet.
(Switch to -Carson)
Carson sat in front of the camera once again shaking his head.
"Okay, this is getting pretty ridiculous. Again, I get Laura has some experience with this kind of stuff, but at this point, the only thing she's doing is going around accusing everyone we know is innocent. Moxie? Alexa? Chester? Mojo? Come on." Carson started. "I think I've already made it pretty clear that its very obvious who's behind this. Laura's got to stop targeting the obviously innocent competitors, and start targeting the ones you know would actually do something like this. I'm thinking a Lone Wolf, or a Selfie Addict?" He continued.
(Switch to -Laura)
Laura sat in front of the camera, again trying to ponder what had just happened.
"That was a new strategy I've been wanting to try out. Interrogation always leads to the criminal confessing. I suppose maybe I was a little rough on Mojo, as proven by the way Carson and Carly reacted to it. However, what they seem to keep forgetting is that I'm trying to solve a crime here. And just because I may come off like a jerk, or I may hurt some people's feelings, NOTHING is going to change that." Laura said, before shaking her head.
(Confessional End)
(With Chelsea)
Chelsea was still storming through the woods, shoving Alexa along as she did, as Chester raced behind the two females.
"Where was it?! Where did you find the statuette?!" Chelsea asked, as she continued to push Alexa ahead.
"Hey! Quit pushing! I'm going!" Alexa exclaimed.
"No! I'm not going to quit pushing! You had the statuette in your paws and you left it!" Chelsea exclaimed.
"I didn't know that's what I was looking for! I thought I was looking for that dark, shadow person that follows me around on the ground!" Alexa exclaimed. Chelsea went wide eyed in shock, before growling loudly in annoyance.
"That's a silhouette!" She yelled, not wanting to believe that someone could possibly be THIS stupid.
"Oh... Well don't get mad at me because they sound the same!" Alexa exclaimed. Chelsea growled again, as she fought to not rip a chunk of feathers out of her head in anger.
"Where did you throw it!?" Chelsea yelled again.
"Calm down! Geez! It's, like, right over there." Alexa said, as she pointed towards a bush in the distance. As she did, Chelsea quickly made her way over to the bush and started digging through it.
"No. No. NO!" Chelsea yelled, unsuccessfully finding the statuette. She quickly looked back up at Alexa, before continuing. "You're sure it was this bush!?" She asked. Alexa nodded.
"Yep. 'Cause that's the tree it fell out of. I was standing right there when it happened." She replied. Chelsea looked back down at the bush, slowly shaking her head in disbelief. As she stared down at the bush, a noise interrupted them.
(Air Horn Blows)
"All competitors meet me in the middle of camp for today's challenge!" Marionette's voice rang over the intercom. Once he finally finished, Chelsea slowly looked back up towards Alexa.
"You-you had the statuette... and you left it. And now... someone else found it." She said, as she stood back up and slowly started walking toward the lioness.
"I'm sorry. I, like, totally didn't know that's what that was." Alexa said. Chelsea slowly shook her head, as she stared at her. Chelsea raised a finger to speak, but she couldn't. She was so furious at that moment she didn't know what to say.
She stared at Alexa for several seconds, before finally lowering her finger and shaking her head. She turned around and walked back towards camp, leaving Alexa and Chester standing there in silence. They looked at each other, before following behind. Neither one of them saying anything as they did.
(Confessional -Chester)
Chester sat in front of the camera both surprised, and confused.
"Now... I'm sure Alexa leavin' the statuette thing behind was just an accident. But I'm honestly surprised Chelsea didn't flip out like I was expectin' her too." Chester started. "I mean... if someone I trusted coated me somethin' that important, I woulda been pretty mad." He continued.
(Switch to -Chelsea)
Chelsea sat in front of the camera still in disbelief. She was now highly regretting getting the two dumbest competitors in the competition to find the statuette for her.
"I cannot believe that that stupid, airhead lioness had the statuette... and she threw it in a bush and left it. And now... I'm out an immunity pass. Someone else can now avoid elimination... and it's all because of Alexa." Chelsea started, as she slowly shook her head. That's when the most vicious glare she had ever made formed on her face. "She WILL pay for that... that's a promise." She continued, in the most threatening tone she had ever spoken before.
(Confessional End)
Chelsea finally reached the middle of camp, with Chester and Alexa showing up not too long afterwards. She went and stood in silence with the rest of her teammates.
"Goooood morning, competitors!" Marionette exclaimed, as he and Nightmare approached them. Everyone stayed silent as usual. Marionette frowned, but decided to continue anyway. "Okay, regardless of your negative attitudes, today's challenge is going to be a pretty interesting one to see. It fully involves seeing how well each team's members can actually coexist as a team." He explained.
"Haven't we been doing that since we got here?" Cindy asked.
"You'd think, wouldn't you?" Marionette said curiously. "Although you guys have been able to successfully work as teams, you haven't done too good of a job at it." He continued.
"So this challenge is supposed to strengthen our ability to succeed as teams?" Laura asked. Marionette nodded.
"Bingo!" He replied. "Today's challenge is a six on six relay race!" He exclaimed.
"Wait. Six on six, but there's seven of us." Carson said. Marionette nodded.
"Very observant I see." He said sarcastically. "There are indeed seven of you, but no one is sitting this one out. That's why two members of your team will be working together for one round of the relay race. Each member will have one hand tied behind their back, and one of each other their legs tied together." He exclaimed.
"Wouldn't it seriously just be easier to just have someone sit out? Because that's a little... much don't you think?" Carson asked. Marionette thought about it for a few seconds before replying.
"Nope!" He replied. "Now, explaining what this relay race is. So, there will be six parts. Each team will choose a different competitor to go through each part. The first team to successfully deliver their moving black sack to the finish line wins." He explained, before motioning to two black bags that lay wiggling on the ground.
"Those are body bags with people obviously inside of them!" Rachel said, as she looked over at the bags.
"Who's in them?" Betty asked, as she stared at the bags. Marionette chuckled.
"That's for you to find out at the finish line." He replied.
"I mean, are them being trapped in body bags seriously necessary?" Carly asked quietly.
"Yep! And if I catch any one trying to open them up before reaching the finish line, their team will be disqualified!" Marionette replied. Everyone was somewhat surprised by this.
(Confessional -Laura)
Laura sat in front of the camera with a somewhat serious look on her face.
"A challenge where our team has to be on the same page to claim victory? I like it." Laura started, before slightly nodding. "However, the two trapped people in the body bags is a little ridiculous. There is point in anyway being trapped in one." She continued.
(Switch to -Rachel)
Rachel sat in front of the camera, a mixture of worried and annoyed feelings present on her face.
"I get the challenge and stuff. That's fine. But having to deliver whoever's trapped in those body bags seems a little redundant to me. I just don't really understand the point." Rachel said.
(Switch to -Mojo)
Mojo sat in front of the camera with a large, excited grin on his face.
"Mojo knows all about teamwork! Ain't no way his team's losin' this one!" Mojo exclaimed. "Ain't... No... Way! He continued.
(Switch to -Baron)
Baron sat in front of the camera with an unamused frown on his face and his arms crossed.
"Pfff. Another challenge based on ''teamwork''... what a joke." Baron started, before shaking his head. "I would be much better off doing this challenge without having to worry about my ''teammates'' screwing something up. But, again, I'm screwed." He continued, before looking away from the camera, even more unamused than he was before he started talking.
(Confessional End)
"Okay! Now! Onto what the six parts of today's relay race our. There is a set of rings that will be engulfed in flames that a person from each team will have to successfully get their bagged friend through all of. A pit with a surprisingly large amount of snakes inside of it that one competitor will have try and successfully rope swing across. A set of monkey bars that hang above a set of very sharp spikes that I'm sure would hurt pretty bad if someone were to fall into them. A nice tightrope section above a small pool of water full of electric eels. Followed by a nice section full of nicely set bear traps that a competitor from each team will have maneuver their way through. And we'll end it all off with a nice, large wall that will need to be crossed for a competitor to claim victory for their team!" Marionette exclaimed. Everyone else stood there stunned as he did.
"All of that sounds extremely dangerous." Carly said. Marionette chucked.
"Dangerous for you? Yes. Dangerous for me? No." He replied. "So, you may want to get to deciding who's going to be competing in which part of the challenge. Because it starts-" he continued, before looking down at his watch. "NOW!" He exclaimed. As he did, both teams immediately went to discussing.
"The ring thing is the first part. Who wants to do that?" Carson asked. Baron huffed, before storming over to the black body bags. He heaved one of them up and headed towards the rings.
"I will." He said, before running and jumping through the first ring. Their was a muffled scream in the bag as he did.
The Ghastly Shadows watched as he did. They knew they needed to get a move on or they were going to fall behind. Without even saying anything, Betty quickly ran over to the other bag and grabbed it.
She ran with the bag on her shoulder and launched herself through the first ring. She let out a somewhat loud war cry as she did. Baron, who had just gone through the second ring, looked back as she did.
Betty got up and ran, launching herself through the second ring. Baron grew somewhat surprised as she did. He quickly ran and jumped through the third ring, the body bag smacking against the top of it as he did. Through was another muffled scream from inside as it hit the ring. Baron ignored it.
Betty once again got up and ran, launching herself through the third ring. She wasn't down long at all before once again getting back to her feet. Baron tries ignoring her, as he ran and jumped through the last ring. He managed to avoid the flames, but that bag got kind of burnt up on that one. He let out a little chuckle as the small flame diminished.
"Oops." He said sarcastically. Once he landed, he stormed over to Laura and threw the body bag onto her shoulder. "You're up." He said, before walking away. Laura was slightly annoyed by this.
She turned towards the pit and started walking over to it. Betty, who had just landed after jumping through the fourth ring, ran over to Doug and handed him her team's body bag.
Doug turned and ran towards the rope, he grabbed it, and quickly swung across. As he swung, he threw the bag down to Mojo, who was standing there waiting for it. Doug didn't have time to let go of the rope and land, before he spun back towards the side he had jumped from. The rope swung back and slammed him right into a tree. He finally let go of the rope, before falling down into the pit below.
Laura had watched the scene unfold, surprised by it. She shook off the surprise, before grabbing her rope and swinging across the pit. Unlike Doug, she actually managed to let go of the rope and land on the opposite side. She was glad she had enough strength in her arms to hang onto the bag and the rope at the same time. She handed off the bag to Chester and Moxie, who were tied together, before turning her attention back to the pit.
She saw one of Doug's paws pop up, reaching for help. She ran over to it and grabbed him. She pulled him up out of the pit and onto the ground. The now torn up and messy Doug pulled her into a tight embrace as she did.
(Confessional -Doug)
Doug sat in front of the camera with torn clothes, and bite marks on him. Those snakes had really done a number on him.
He raised his paw to begin, but before he could, he fell forward out of his seat and down to the floor. His paw slowly raised back up into camera view, before quickly dropping down and disappearing once again.
(Confessional End)
Meanwhile, Mojo had started his swing across the monkey bars. That was something he could do blindfolded with one paw tied behind his back. So doing it with extra weight in his shoulders was going to be a breeze.
As he quickly made his way across, he looked over towards Chester and Moxie, who were struggling to keep themselves up.
"You ain't goin' ta beat Mojo, but he knows you can make it!" Mojo called over to the pair, as he continued to breeze on through. Chester and Moxie heard him, but didn't bother looking over at him, due to them being more concerned about not falling into the spikes.
They had the body bag thrown over their left and right shoulders respectively, so that it was pinned in between them so hopefully it wouldn't fall. Meanwhile, they used their untied hands to try and climb across. It was a whole lot harder than it looked.
Their strategy was they'd take turns swinging their arms across to the bars ahead of them. Moxie, and then Chester. Them trying to take turns doing that, while making sure they don't lose their squirming body bag, and don't fall in the spikes below them was very difficult.
They watched ahead as Mojo finally reached the end of his side, and dropped down to the ground with his team's body bag resting on his shoulder. He handed the bag off to Cindy, who had agreed to do the tightrope section. The bag was a bit heavy for her, so she honestly didn't know how she was supposed to walk across a tightrope over a pool of eel infested water while carrying it on her shoulders.
She stood there staring at it for several seconds, before closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. She needed to concentrate. She knew that. She slowly took her first step out onto the rope, and struggled to keep her balance.
Moxie and Chester finally reached the end of the monkey bars. They tossed the body bag over to the ground, before jumping over to it and falling on their faces. Carson grabbed the body bag, and headed towards the tightrope. He thought he was decent at keeping his balance, that's the only reason he offered to do this part of the challenge.
He stepped out onto the tightrope and started balancing his way across it. As he did, Carly watched with her heart racing as he slowly walked across.
Cindy had already almost lost her balance and fallen in the water twice already, and she wasn't even halfway across the rope yet. Her teammates were standing at the sidelines quietly rooting for her. They didn't want to distract her and cause her to lose her balance.
Carson had picked up his pace to try and catch up to her, but in doing so, he almost lost his balance and fell. Carly slightly gasped when he almost did.
"Be carful, Carson!" Carly called out, before quickly covering her mouth, realizing she may have just distracted. Carson quickly glanced in her direction, a small smile crossing his face as he gave her a slight nod in response.
Cindy started to grow more nervous than she already was, as Carson started slowly making his way past her.
Hearing Carly seemed to give Carson more confidence, and it calmed him down some. He was surprised he had done so well, at least up to that point. As he passed the halfway point, his speed increased.
Cindy started trying to pick up her speed the farther Carson got ahead of her. She knew her teammates were rooting for her, this was going to be a big step in proving that she wasn't someone to be overlooked.
As Carson neared the end of the tightrope, he could feel the weight of him, combined with whomever was in the body bag putting enough stress on the rope that it was breaking from underneath him. His eyes grew wide at the realization. He knew he needed to get to the other side.
He started moving as quick as he could to reach the other side. Once he did, his teammates realized that something was wrong.
Just as he felt the rope snap from underneath him, he tossed the body bagged mystery person over to the ground for his next teammate. The body bag landed on the ground, as he disappeared under the water.
"No!" Carly yelled, as Carson disappeared under the water. Several seconds passed, before he finally reemerged.
"I-*zzzz*-okay." Carson said, as he electrocuted.
(Confessional -Carson)
Carson sat in front of the camera, still feeling shocks running through his body.
"H-*zzzz*-hey, it could have *zzzz* been worse." Carson said, trying to shrug off the fact that he was just electrocuted by a pool full of eels.
(Confessional End)
Alexa grabbed the body bag and started dragging it around the large mass of scattered bear traps.
"I, like, totally don't like this!" Alexa said.
Cindy seeing what happened to Carson made her realize she just wanted this to be over with. She picked up her speed and finally reached the other side of the rope. Lucky for her, here didn't break like Carson's. As soon as she reached the other side, she handed off the body bag to Chelsea.
Chelsea was still way too mad about what Alexa had done to even care about complaining. She took the body bag, and headed straight through the bear traps.
Alexa was still dragging the body bag around the bear traps. She was trying her hardest not to set any of them off. Chelsea was on a mission. She wasn't taking it slow like Alexa was. And the fact that they were conveniently working the same challenge, made some really bad thoughts run through her mind.
Chelsea walked past Alexa carrying her body bag. She looked over at the lioness as she passed. Alexa looked over at her with a tired look on her face.
"This is, like, so hard!" She whined. Chelsea huffed, as she continued on her way. She figured there was no need to even waste time on her. She was going to end up screwing herself over.
After almost setting off one of the traps due to her not paying attention, Chelsea finally reached the other side of where all the traps were. She dropped the body bag on the ground, before walking away. Not saying a word as she did. Rachel didn't bother asking her what the problem was, as she grabbed the body bag and headed towards the wall. The squirming of whomever was in the bag was not going to be too kind to her getting over the wall.
Alexa continued to drag the body bag until she finally reached the opposite side. At one point, she accidentally did set off one of the bear traps. Lucky for her however, it didn't get her. Alexa fell back onto the ground once she finally made it to the other side.
"O...M...G! That was, like, ridiculous!" Alexa exclaimed.
Carly made her way over to the body bag and struggled to lift it up. Eventually she finally did. She started moving towards the wall, noticing that Rachel was already on her way up it.
Carly quickly started doing her best to climb. She was trying to climb as fast as she could so she could at least catch up to Rachel, but it was hard with all of the extra weight she was having to carry up with her.
Rachel looked back as she climbed, seeing that Carly was catching up to her. She did her best to try and speed up herself. She was almost to the top of the wall, she couldn't fall behind now.
Carly watched as Rachel finally reached the top of the wall. She started picking up her pace, not even realizing that she was losing her grip on the body bag. As Carly neared the top, she finally noticed she was getting ready to drop her team's body bag. She quickly grabbed it and tried throwing it back up onto her shoulder, almost losing her balance and falling in the process.
Once she repositioned the bag, she looked back up and saw Rachel was now over on the back side of the wall on her way down it. Carly got back to her quick climbing, finally reaching the top. She climbed over to the other side, and started quickly climbing down. Again, she almost slipped, but she was lucky enough to hang on.
Rachel looked up watching as Carly closed in her. She looked down and realized she wasn't too far away from the ground, so she decided to just drop down. As she was getting ready to, Carly finally caught up to her. She realized what she was getting ready to do, so she decided to do the same thing. Both females pushed themselves off of the wall and dropped down to the ground. All their teammates stood around and watched as they did. It was close, but Rachel ended up hitting the ground first. She landed and quickly crossed the finish line with her teams body bag.
Carly was mere seconds behind her. As she crossed, she dropped the body bag and dropped down to her knees trying to catch her breath. She was majorly disappointed by this.
"And with that, it looks like The Ghastly Shadows win!" Marionette exclaimed. The Ghastly Shadows cheered as he did. "Teams, you are now free to let out whomever's in your body bags." He continued. As he finished, both teams immediately went to freeing their victims.
The Charming Lights opened their bag revealing... Mark. He was tied up and had a piece of duck tape over his mouth.
"'Ere, let me get that for ya, buddy." Chester said, as he grabbed the tape and ripped it off of Mark's face.
"Ooooowwww! Ouchy! That really *Bleep* hurt!" Mark whined in pain. Chester nervously chuckled.
"Sorry about that." He said.
The Ghastly Shadows were a little more surprised at who was in their body bag. The person inside was... Fritz.
"Hey, aren't you Marionette's old assistant?" Rachel asked, as she pulled the duck tape off of his mouth.
"Unfortunately yes. Now will you please get me out of here?" Fritz asked. Rachel nodded, before her and her partners started helping him out of the body bag. Marionette chuckled as he watched.
"This challenge was very fun to watch." He said. Nightmare, who stood next to him, nodded in response.
(Confessional -Laura)
Laura sat in front of the camera staring down at the floor with a slightly annoyed look on her face. She was annoyed more so with herself that she wasn't able to pull her team together long enough to win this challenge.
"This loss... it means something. It means that I'm going to have to try even harder to get my team working together than I was before." Laura started. "This challenge could have been the proof we needed to show everyone that WE are the best team competing. Not The Ghastly Shadows. But they got the better of us, I'm not going to deny it. But this loss will not hold us down. I will make sure of it." She continued.
(Switch to -Baron)
Baron sat in front of the camera with his arms crossed, and an annoyed smirk on his face.
"And once again those losers proved that I would have been better off doing this stupid challenge by myself. Like they haven't already proven it enough." Baron started. "And the fact that Chelsea did nothing to make Betty look bad. *Huff* I knew that that chicken didn't care. We'll see just how much she cares, though." He continued, letting out a light chuckle as he did. "We'll see." He finished.
(Switch to -Alexa)
Alexa sat in front of the camera, once again drawing in her notebook. Several seconds passed, before she finally looked at the camera.
"Oh, so, like, we lost. And that's, like, totally a bummer. But hey! I think I'm almost finished with my team's cute uniforms! They are def' adorbs!" Alexa exclaimed happily.
(Switch to -Chester)
Chester sat in front of the camera, scratching the back of his neck. Several seconds of neck scratching later, he finally began.
"So... losin' sucks. I woulda enjoyed swingin' on tha monkey bars if I didn't have one of my hands tied behind my back, or had to carry a person on my shoulders. I love swingin' on monkey bars! They're great!" Chester exclaimed. "I just hope I don't get put in the bottom two again. That was horrible." He continued.
(Switch to -Moxie)
Moxie sat in front of the camera with her sad expression once again on her face.
"We did that monkey bars thing and almost fell into spikes, and we still lost. I seriously don't know how being here could get any worse." Moxie said in a depressed tone, as she shook her head.
(Switch to -Carson)
Carson sat in front of the camera still feeling slight shocks from earlier.
"That *zzz* sucks. But, hey, regardless of whether we *zzz* lost or not, I'm still proud of Carly. She did good." Carson started, a smile forming on his face as he did.
(Switch to -Carly)
Carly sat in front of the camera with her paws covering her face, slowly shaking her head as she faced the floor.
"My team was counting on me... and I let them down." Carly started quietly. "I let Carson down. I was so close... and I still couldn't do it." She continued, still not looking up at the camera.
(Confessional End)
(At Bonfire Ceremony)
The Charming Lights all sat around the Bonfire Pit, most of whom annoyed by their loss. Baron was furious, though.
Alexa sat there doodling in her notepad, and the sound of the pen running across the paper as Alexa lightly hummed annoyed Baron even further. He tried to ignore it, but she just kept on, and on, and on. Eventually, Baron had heard enough.
He ripped Alexa's notepad out of her paws, and threw it into the fire.
"Noooo! My notebook!" Alexa exclaimed as she jumped up and tried to recover the now burning notebook. Carson and Laura quickly jumped up and stopped her from doing so.
As they held her back, everyone looked over at Baron, who had returned to his stump. The angry glare hadn't left his face.
"Wow! Things are definitely getting heated, Charming Lights!" Marionette exclaimed, as he stared at the group of arguing teammates.
"Yeah, blame him." Carson said, as he looked over at Baron. Baron huffed, as he looked away from his teammates.
"Well, that's nice to know! Now, if you'll all take your seats, I'll get things underway!" Marionette said. Laura and Carson led the now broken hearted Alexa back to her stump, before sitting down on their own. "Alright! First off, the rules! I have six breadsticks on this tray, but there of seven of you. If you don't receive a breadstick you must take that ever so embarrassing walk all the way down the Dock of Shame, where you will be given a free ride in the Catapult of Losers." He explained. "And since there obviously aren't going to be any questions, I'll begin. First breadstick of the night goes to someone I know all of you are going to be ecstatic about. Baron!" He exclaimed, as he tossed Baron the first breadstick. Baron huffed again as he caught it. His teammates were less than thrilled about that.
"Next up... Laura." Marionette called, as he tossed Laura a breadstick.
"Chester and Moxie, the two of you are also safe." Marionette said, before tossing the two competitors breadsticks. And that left three breadstickless competitors sitting there, Alexa, Carson, and Carly. As Alexa continued to sadly stare down at her pen, Carly and Carson looked over at each other.
"And... Carly." Marionette called, before tossing Carly a breadstick. "Carson, Alexa, one of you is about to be sent flying!" He exclaimed.
(Dramatic Music Starts Playing)
Carson continued to nervously stare over at Carly, as Alexa continued to sadly stare down at her gold pen.
(Music Gets More Dramatic)
Carson and Carly continued to stare at each other, as their nervousness got worse. Alexa still seemed too distraught over the loss of her notebook to even seemed worried.
Carson lightly shook his head, before he and Carly finally broke eye contact. He turned back towards Marionette, focusing most of his attention on the last breadstick that he currently held in his hand.
Alexa finally looked up herself. She looked over at Carson, before turning her attention to Marionette.
"And the final breadstick of the night goes to..." Marionette started, before stopping as he slowly moved the final breadstick back and forth between the two breadstickless competitors.
Carson had to take a somewhat deep breath to try and relax himself. Carly did too, even though she wasn't even in the bottom two.
Alexa finally broke her attention away from Marionette, and stared back towards the fire, where her notebook and all of her work on her team's custom uniforms was currently being burned to ashes.
"Hmmmm..." Marionette hummed, as he slowed the breadstick to a stop. He stared ahead at the two competitors with a large grin on his face.
As Marionette stood there letting the tension build as much as he possibly could, Alexa finally looked back towards him. Carson and Carly still sat nervously waiting to here him announce who was going home.
"... Carson." Marionette finally called, before tossing Carson the breadstick. After he caught it, he closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. Carly was just as relieved as he was. Maybe even more so. "Alexa, you're out." Marionette continued, as he looked back over at the lioness.
(Elimination Music Starts Playing)
"Like, that is such a bummer." Alexa said, as she looked down towards the ground.
"It is. I enjoyed hangin' out with ya'. I don't think Chelsea's goin' to like this one." Chester said, not even realizing what he had just said.
"Why would Chelsea care?" Laura asked. Chester finally realized what he had just done.
"Oh, I-uh..." Chester stuttered trying to think of something to tell them. Several seconds passed, before Baron finally spoke up.
"She cares because him and Alexa have been working with her behind all of our backs." He said, surprising his teammates. Chester's eyes grew wide.
"Baron! Be quiet! They weren't supposed to know that!" Alexa exclaimed. Chester facepalmed as she did.
"Wait. So you and Alexa have been working with Chelsea?" Laura asked in disbelief, looking over at Chester.
"Well, I mean... not so much workin' with her... as helping her. I guess." Chester replied, growing more and more nervous as his remaining teammates continued to stare at him.
Marionette stood there with a large grin on his face. He and Nightmare were enjoying this.
"Man, I'd really love it if we had some popcorn right now." He said. Nightmare nodded.
"Uh, hum". He replied.
"I can't believe this. Chester, we stood up for you!" Carson said, he was mad about this. Chester looked down.
"Guess everything isn't as it seems." Laura said, getting Carson to look over at her.
"I'm, like, going to go." Alexa said. Her former teammates turned their glares from Chester to her. Without saying another word, Alexa turned and walked towards the dock, leaving Chester to deal with his angry teammates.
"Aww man, I'm going to miss the best part!" Marionette exclaimed, knowing he had to follow Alexa. Nightmare chuckled.
"But I'm not." He said. Marionette gave him an annoyed look, before hurriedly heading towards the dock.
(At The Dock)
Alexa had reached the end of the dock. She stood there staring at the catapult, not seeing Marionette closing in behind her.
Without a warning, he ran up and pushed her into the basket. Before she could do anything, Marionette pulled the lever and launched her into the horizon.
"AHHHHH!" Alexa yelled, as she flew into the distance. Marionette watched until she twinkled into a star sky. After words, he turned around to face the camera.
"And after another loss for The Charming Lights, what'll happen next?" Marionette asked. "Will Carson and Laura ever be able to get on the same page on their hunt to find who framed Ray? Will Doug and Rachel's attempts to cheer Moxie up keep failing, or will they ever get her to crack a smile again? And will we found out which competitor made bank and found the invincibility statuette due to Alexa's very dimwitted mistake?" He continued. "Find out all of these answers and more, next time on Total... Drama... Fazbear... Returns!" He finished, before quickly running back towards the bonfire pit.
And that's it for chapter 11! Can't believe that we're already almost halfway through the season already! Just doesn't seem like it's been that long since it started.
Again, due to the website and its ridiculous, seemingly never ending problems, the vote was way under average as far as usual votes. Luckily, there were at least three people who saw the chapter and were able to vote.
Also, if you didn't see it last week, the poll on my profile page is still open. Which twelve Total Drama Fazbear Originals do you think deserve another chance at the prize money? Vote! It may or may not end up being important.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the chapter and I will see you all next week!
