Episode 10 - Driven To Kill
New update! School's over for me so yay!
...
The night was hot and the sounds of bugs rang through the forest. Harvey and Vera were asleep, and the others were somewhere else.
Deb was slowly walking back to her cabin. She shivered for some reason, and was looking down at the ground.
Deb: (CONF.) Vincent's gone now...someone I really could've befriended but...oh well...I need to move on...I need an ally...and there's only like 2 people I know that want me! I'm in the final 6! I have to play this game harder than anyone else!
Instead of going to sleep in her cabin, Deb went over to the mansion that Vera and Harvey were in. She rang the doorbell, but no one answered. She soon realized that it was late and they would be asleep, but, she couldn't just leave and wait for tomorrow. Instead, she found a tree and climbed it. When she got to the top, she smiled when she saw Harvey sleeping in his bed, and luckily, the window was open. Without hesitation, Deb threw herself into Harvey's room, making a loud 'THUD' sound when she hit the floor, "Ow..." Deb moaned, rubbing her head. She gasped when she saw Harvey, but got up and went up to him, "Harvey, hey Harvey, we gotta talk!"
"AH! STRANGER!" Harvey yelled, and swatted his hands at Deb, but she blocked them. After a few seconds, Harvey seemed annoyed, "Really Deb? What are you doing here?"
Deb smiled, "I wanna join an alliance with you...and Vera...I have no one and I wanna stay in the game as long as I can!"
Harvey moaned and walked out of the room, "Follow me...we gotta talk to Vera about it."
The scene turned to Harvey and Deb facing Vera, who was lying in her bed, looking up at the two, "So Deb, you wanna join me and Harvey and make it to the final 3?"
Deb nodded, "Yep! I make great contributions to teams, such as..." before Deb could list her strengths, Vera stopped her.
"No...we know you're a good person," Vera started, "Anyways, you're in! Right now, we need to deal with Leo and Caige, who are my biggest enemy right now! I took Leo's immunity idol, so we're good...you still have it, right Harvey?"
The girls turned to Harvey, who looked nervous, "Huh? Oh...oh yeah! Totally! I got it! Under my bed...yeah!"
Vera, looking mad, got up from bed and stared Harvey deep in the eyes, "WHAT HAPPENED?! What did you do to it?!" Deb tried to push Vera slowly away, but Deb was forced to stand back at the rising tension.
"I..I.." Harvey started, scared.
"WHAT?!" Vera yelled, "Did someone take it?!"
Harvey sighed and looked down, "Y...Yeah...I don't know who though...maybe it rolled out my window and is in the bushes...I don't know..just.." he put his hands on his face, "I'm so sorry Vera, it's all my fault!" He started crying.
Vera started pacing around her room, mumbling things to herself. She then pointed to Harvey, "I trusted you with that immunity idol, and it's gone! Someone took it because of your irresponsibility! How dare you!"
"But you can't expect me to do everything!" Harvey answered, yelling, "I'm trying my best to help you, but I feel like you're trying too hard to take Leo out that you're not worrying about yourself and how others think of you!"
Vera sighed and looked to Deb, who looked embarrassed and worried, "Deb...can I trust you?"
Deb nodded, "Of course...loyalty is one of the most important things in a good team."
"Alright, well, I'm gonna assume either Leo or Caige took the idol out of Harvey's irresponsible ass and have it and could use it anytime now, so for the challenge, we're fucking with them...sabotaging them..making them feel like trash! Then, when they're weak, we take the idol and take them out, got it!"
Deb felt worried, "But.."
"NO 'BUTS'," Vera yelled, "You follow me! I'm leading us three to the finals, and I'm pulling out all the stops!" She laid down in her bed, "Leave. Both of you." Harvey, with his eyes red from tears, walked out, and Deb followed, closing the door behind her.
Vera: (CONF.) What is going on with Harvey? He needs to keep up with me! I'm the brains with this operation...and the plan's good too! Why he's complaining?
Harvey: (CONF.) Honestly, I feel like Vera is going too far with things, next thing you know, she sets off the volcano of Kiki Island trying to eliminate Leo and Caige! Oh...I hope she doesn't have some grudge against me...
The scene shifted to Dennis, who was by the outhouse, polishing her motorcycle. It got a bit dirty after the challenge, and was enjoying the clean-up.
Dennis: (CONF.) *on paper* Loving my new motorcycle! Feels nice to do stuff I want!
As Dennis was wiping down her motorcycle with a cloth to dry it up, she heard muffled noises and loud rustling in the bushes. She seemed scared, but grabbed a long piece of metal and walked to the bushes. She soon gasped at seeing Caige and Leo carrying a black bag and holding up a small canoe. They were heading to a small river by the outhouse. They laid down the canoe, put the bag on, and Leo took a seat. Caige then took a seat, pulled out oars from the canoe and started sailing down the stream, out to the mouth of the ocean.
Dennis, feeling curious, left the motorcycle alone and sneaked through the forest, following the river that Leo and Caige were going down but not actually going to the river. She tiptoed quietly, and listened in to their conversation.
"Leo..." Caige whined, "Why are we going to the other islands now? I'm sleepy! You spent so much time on the beach doing what you were doing? Is this that important?"
Leo looked mad and kept looking forward, "This surprise for Chris is supposed to be amazing...it'll blow him out of his mind...it needs to be perfect, and since you're my ally, you're helping me...come on...move those oars faster, we don't have all night!" Caige, seemingly pissed, kept going, despite him not wanting to.
Caige: (CONF.) Honestly, why is Leo just using me? I thought alliances helped others, not benefit one and hurt the other! I can't sabotage him...it might hurt me as well, so basically...I low-key hate him...
The boys were finally at the mouth of the ocean. They started sailing off to a distant island, and disappeared over the horizon. Dennis soon got to the edge of a cliff and saw Caige and Leo sailing away. She felt confused, and continued to look at the two. Then, she felt that Leo had noticed her watching from afar and was glaring at her. Dennis, feeling reluctant, kept staring at Leo, who continued to look back.
...
It was a new morning on Kiki Island and breakfast was already served. They were all out and about doing what they wanted.
Outside of the mansion, Deb was cleaning and dusting the porch, and smiled when she saw Harvey come out with a broom and dustpan, "Deb," Harvey asked, "Why are you cleaning up? Let me do it." He grabbed Deb's broom, but she yanked it away.
"No, it's alright! Take a rest! I can do it!" Deb said, and went back to work.
Harvey looked a bit annoyed, but shook his head and took a seat on a rocking chair, "Deb, why do you always work so much? You might pass out for all I know!"
Deb sighed in annoyance, "Why does everyone ask me that? It's so annoying...let me do what I want!" she started aggressively sweeping the porch.
Harvey looked surprised, "It was a joke but...okay...?" He then turned to the mess hall that Vera was exiting, "You know, Vera? She's smart, I think, but I don't think it's a good thing for her to be so ambitious...she might get herself in trouble...what do you think?" he turns to Deb.
"Well, in my opinion, it's good that Vera is an independent teenager who is smart and does what she needs to do to survive...I would know...I live that life!" She dropped the broom and grabbed a duster and started dusting the windows, "Why does everyone have to bring down someone who's living their life the way they want? It's so dumb! I work hard, I get it! And it's annoying, but it's what makes me happy, and people need to respect that!" She stopped dusting and grabbed her things, "Gonna put this stuff away, see ya at the challenge?" She opened the mansion doors and walked off.
Harvey: (CONF.) Well...wasn't exactly expecting my jokes to make Deb go on some rant-slash-lesson of life monologue...okay...
Dennis was off going to the outhouse. She seemed happy, smelling the things around her and enjoying what she had. Things all seemed swell until she saw her motorcycle - broken apart and destroyed. Dennis ran up to her vehicle in shock and fear. She held what was left of her motorcycle - bits, pieces, and a note written with oil for some odd reason.
Dear Destroyed Lung Girl Bitch Trash Queen or Whatever You Call Yourself,
I have no idea who you are, but I can say one thing, you're up to something! You think that your quietness is gonna get ya far and guess what? It did! But I'm not falling for it anymore! You're more than that! There's something dangerous inside of you that is gonna get you that million dollars by yourself! And that's not happening! Watch your back!
P.S - Try hiding better next time when you stalk two normal dudes going off to make a cute surprise that'll blow Chris away :)
With love,
you know who :)
Dennis ripped the letter up and ran off.
Dennis: (CONF.) *on paper, annoyed and confused* What did I do to Leo?! Did I hurt his feelings?! IT makes NO SENSE! Why does he randomly want me gone?! What do I do?!
...
The final 6 were all standing now in the campgrounds looking at a huge pile of stuff by them. Chef was still unloading things as Chris was explaining the challenge, "Okay, today, the challenge is simple! You must create your own vehicle in 30 minutes, and when I blow my horn, you will race it across the beach of Kiki Island! Simple, right? GO!" The final 6 ran off to the pile of stuff that Chef unloaded and went to building.
Vera, Deb, and Harvey were together, gathering things into piles. "Remember you two," Vera started, "We secretly help build our stuff! But, try to make it look like we're against each other!" She laid her stuff down and started making things. Harvey was having a hard time bringing his things to his working area, but Deb helped him before going to her business.
Leo and Caige, who looked soggy, wet, and dirty, were sharing a pile of stuff and building their vehicles. Caige seemed annoyed that he was hauling the most things, but still tried as hard as he could. Leo was building a bike with wheels and a handle, but was eyeing Dennis in intimidation, trying to scare her.
Leo: (CONF.) So I checked the outhouse and it looks like Dennis got the message...nice! Scaring her out of this competition is a good thing...can't underestimate anyone now! Dennis is still here for a reason, and it's 'cause of her quietness...which I can't tolerate!
Leo was doing well with his intimidation tactics, but Dennis tried her best to not let it get to her. She was working fast, recreating her motorcycle almost exactly as it was the first time before Leo destroyed it. Everyone seemed surprised by how good she was at the challenge, but Chris announced that there was a bout 5 minutes left to build.
"Harvey...psst...Harvey!" Vera whispered loudly, "You think we can get Dennis on our side? A 4-way vote against Leo is gonna slay the competition!"
"Well maybe she wants to be left alone..." Harvey whispered back, "Let her do what she wants, she might win."
Vera sighed and answered, "I don't know, she seems like an easy target...maybe later..." she then went back to work.
After a few minutes, Chris threw his hands in the air, "Okay! Let's get up to the starting point marked by a strand of tape!" They all got up to the starting point and prepared to race. Caige had a tricycle, Leo had a bike, Harvey had a go-cart, Deb had roller-skates, Dennis had a motorcycle, and Vera had a bike as well. Chris held the horn up, "Whoever makes a full circumference around the beach and gets back to the campgrounds wins the challenge! On your mark...get set...GO!" He blew his horn, and campers were on their way.
...
At first, Caige was pushing far with his bike, ahead of the pack. Behind him, Harvey was going at send place with his go-cart, and was beside Vera, who was struggling to stay controlled on her bike. Deb was behind them, a bit annoyed that her roller-skates weren't going as fast as she wanted. After some speeding up, Deb surpassed Vera and Harvey, which pissed Vera off a bit. Dennis was driving her motorcycle at a good speed, trying to not ram into others and hurt them. She soon felt that someone was near her. She turned to her right and glared at Leo, who was smiling back at her.
"What's up Dennis?!" Leo asked, then laughed, "Oh wait, you don't have your paper, huh? Oh well!" He started ramming into Dennis at a slow pace, and Dennis felt even more annoyed. Dennis picked up the pace, and pushed past Leo, Vera and Harvey.
Caige and Deb reached the beach. Dennis entered the beach and started picking up the pace to get Caige and Deb. Caige was pushing his feet extremely hard, and veins were popping out big time all over his body. Deb slowed down because the sand was slowing down her rollerskating, but she kept pushing. Dennis had reached a pretty fast speed and reached up to Caige. She winked at him, and started giving Caige a competitive glare, making him laugh.
Dennis: (CONF.) *on paper* Isn't he allied with Leo? Aren't I supposed to hate him?
Vera and Harvey finally got to the beach and were struggling trying to help each other. Harvey was using a stick to keep Vera balanced at fast speeds. Vera was screaming for almost the entire time, and Harvey was getting more and more annoyed.
"Vera! Shut up! I can't focus with your screaming!" Harvey yelled. Vera seemed hurt and mad, but brushed it off and stopped crying.
Harvey: (CONF.) Vera is getting on my nerves! URRG!
Vera: (CONF.) Does Harvey hate me? He can't just act like an asshole all of a sudden! But whatever, he's helping me and that's all that matters right now...well...destroying Leo matters too but I'll deal with that later!
Caige and Dennis were still neck and neck and acting funny with each other. Then, all of a sudden, Leo jumped out of the cliff and jumped onto Caige's bike, scaring the two, "Remember me, Dennis?!" Leo started, holding up a gun and cocking it, "Psycho Leo's ready to play and ready for a kill!" He shoots the gun and Dennis is hit out straight in the side and falls off of her motorcycle, which rams into a large rock near the sea. Leo laughs and grabs the steering wheel of Caige's bike, "Let's go ally! Gotta get Chris's surprise up and running!" Caige, worried and scared, screamed for help, but was unable to stop Leo from stoping. Caige and Leo disappear into the forest.
Deb soon sees Dennis lying on the sand, looking dead, "DENNIS!" She screamed. She stopped moving and went down to Dennis's side, and searched for breathing, "What do I do, what do I do?" she whimpered, "HELP HELP ME! DENNIS GOT SHOT IN THE SIDE!" Vera and Harvey arrived at the scene and stopped to go to Dennis.
"DEB!" Harvey yelled, staring CPR just in case, "What happened?!"
"I..I.. I heard a loud sound and next thing you know, Deb falls out of her motorcycle and has a gunshot wound in her side!"
Vera looked around, curious and angered. She soon realizes what has happened and glares at the ground.
Vera: (CONF.) Leo...shot...Dennis...he...shot...Dennis...he had to...that little...that little fucker shot a girl with no lungs and has disappeared...funny, isn't it?
Chris and Chef arrived, "What is going on?!"
Chef looked at Dennis's wound and shook his head, "I don't got the resources to help her...we need to get her to the hospital...come on!" He grabbed Dennis in his arms and put her in a boat in the dock. He started the engine, and the boat left the island, disappearing in the horizon.
Chris still was in shock, "What...happened...why did she get shot? Who the hell brought a gun here?"
Deb, who was in tears, answered, "I was at the outhouse trying to get cleaning supplies...and..." her voice was breaking, "I remember seeing some guns with ammo hanging on the shelf...why Chris? How irresponsible can you get?" She soon broke down, and was comforted by Harvey.
"You know what? Let's wait 'till tonight and see Dennis's condition...maybe she'll be fine...or maybe she's dead, who knows!" He laughs, the stops when he sees that no one found it funny, "Well...alright then! See ya tonight!
...
(Nighttime at the mansion)
In the kitchen, Vera, Harvey, and Deb were together, awaiting Dennis's fate. Deb was cleaning dishes even though they were already clean, Vera was on her phone, and Harvey was looking at the clock tick. Soon, the doors opened and they all looked to Chris, who walked in with a piece of paper, "Got the results from the doctor..."
The three gathered to Chris. He began reading the news, "Well...Dennis is in critical condition, but she'll heal fine and will be good in a few weeks time." Everyone sighed, and Chris continued on, "But, due to the conditions and.." Chris looked scared, "Ongoing bullying that Dennis has received from others on Total Drama Kiki Island 3, Dennis will be removed from competing and is subject to staying in the hospital until the finale, where she is allowed to come back under someone's care." He crumpled the paper, "Really?! Bullying?! Do you know what rep I'll get from that?!"
Deb looked mad, "Someone got shot because you weren't responsible to hide guns from a psycho! So don't blame us! Blame you for encouraging this hate!"
Chris tried to counter, but loud bombing sounds were heard from outside. Curious, everyone left the mansion and took a look outside, shocked at what they saw.
They saw that the surrounding islands had been bombed and were destroyed. Everyone was scared, and Chris noticed a letter falling from the sky. He grabbed it and read it aloud,
Dear Chris and everyone else,
I've always been fascinated about why teenagers at my age are so interested in reality shows...they're all garbage and do nothing but hurt people...and I'm here to help :)
I will be ending Total Drama once and for all...a bomb-tastic ending, am I right?! And you can't stop me...I am prepared to fight this reality show disease affecting us teenagers...
P.S - There's a whole lot more to me than meets the eye... :)
I wish you all the luck in surviving my wrath,
Leo Scardovi
"What the actual fuck?!" Harvey said, "What is up with Leo?! Is he a psychopath killer or something?!"
Deb shivered, "Oh my god...I can't...I can't believe that being on a reality show is this messed up and random...oh..."
The cameras turn off.
...
I'M SORRY THAT THE ENDING AS SO RANDOM AND SCARY AND DUMB, BUT I FELT LIKE IT SET THE PLOT FOR LEO! Really, everything has been climbing slowly to this...the next episode is the climax of the season, if you will.
So, comment on what ya thought and vote for your favorite 3! Thanks for reading!
