And now it's time for this story to update. Yep, time for another chapter. Hope I didn't make you guys wait too long. Anyway, I've got very little to say about this new chapter. So let's just get to my review responses:
Nicky Haugh: Thank you.
JOHNHAMMOND1993: Thank you for the extra info about your challenges. If you couldn't tell from the title, I'm using one of your suggestions right now.
Acosta Perez Jose Ramiro: Thanks for the review.
Well, that went by quicker than usual. Anyway, on to the actual chapter.
"Last time, on Total Drama Champions. Our virtual reality machine broke down and we sent everyone down to the farm. They did some farm work and most of them were not happy about it. But in the end, Shawn and Sierra achieved immunity and, thanks to Lightning using his idol, Gwen was eliminated from the show. Too bad, I always wondered if she'd make it to the finale twice. Anyway, we've got another exciting episode planned. So be sure to stick around for some, Total. Drama. Champions!"
(Theme Song)
On yet another early morning, all the competitors had gathered in the mess hall to eat another moderately edible breakfast of oatmeal. The camera focused on the table featuring Lightning, Shawn, and Sierra.
"Man, I sure hope we don't gotta do any more farm work today." Lightning remarked.
"I'm sure Chris should've fixed the VR machine by now, right?" Shawn replied.
"I dunno, he likes to cut corners so who knows how long it could take." Sierra said.
"Oh right, you're still here." Shawn remarked.
"Yes I am." Sierra replied. "What about it?"
"Would you mind leaving?" Shawn requested.
"Yeah, you're being kind of a third wheel right now." Lightning added.
"Oh, okay then." Sierra replied. "I'll find someone who wants me."
"No offence." Shawn said. "It's just we kinda wanna have a pirvate conversation."
"Yeah, yeah, no problem." Sierra told him. "Bye, have a good conversation."
Sierra stood up with her oatmeal bowl and walked away from the area.
"What were we gonna talk about, man?" Lightning asked.
"Y'know I can't quite remember to be honest." Shawn admitted. "Probably about out alliance."
"Oh yeah, who do you wanna vote out next?" Lightning remembered.
"Right, we were gonna talk about that." Shawn remembered. "Hmm… I feel like we should take Sierra off the table first off."
"Why her?" Lightning asked.
"She's obviously the only person here not in an alliance." Shawn replied.
"How do you know?" Lightning enquired.
Shawn looked at the other tables which featured Dave and Scott and Amy and Sky respectively each talking with their partners in quiet and possibly conspiratorial tones.
"I have an eye for these things." Shawn stated. "The point is, it'd be best to break up one of the alliance."
"Cool, I'll keep that in mind." Lightning replied.
(Confessional: Shawn)
"I feel like I might've said this already, but despite me not technically wanting to be in this alliance it's working out pretty well." Shawn said.
The camera focused on the table occupied by Amy and Sky.
"So how's breakfast?" Sky asked. "I haven't been brave enough to try it yet."
"Surprisingly average." Amy said. "Of course, by Chef's standards that makes it a five star meal."
"Huh, cool. Guess I'll eat it then." Sky remarked as she began to eat her breakfast.
"So what do you think is in store today?" Amy wondered. "I sure hope the VR stuff is fixed because doing all that physical work was not fun."
"I dunno, it felt kinda refreshing." Sky admitted.
"Well, I prefer sitting in a chair for a few hours than trying not to crash a tractor." Amy replied.
"All right, that's fair I guess." Sky said.
Before the conversation could continue, Sierra approached the two of them and took a seat across from them.
"Hey ladies, Lightning and Shawn told me to move seats." Sierra explained. "Hope you don't mind me sitting here."
"Well, we do." Amy bluntly stated.
"Oh…" Sierra trailed off. "Y'know, common courtesy usually dictates-"
"Beat it." Amy told her.
"Okay then." Sierra said.
Sierra stood up from the table and walked away from an area.
"You could've been a little nicer." Sky told Amy.
"I don't do 'Nice'. It's never really gotten me anywhere." Amy state.
(Confessional: Sky)
"I'm really starting to hope there's an easy way out of this alliance with Amy." Sky admitted. "At first the idea seemed okay, but at this point I'm not so sure."
The scene changed over to Scott and Dave at a table by themselves.
"Hey Scott, I know it's kinda early, but who do you think we should vote for tonight?" Dave asked.
"I don't know." Scott said. "But can we please not vote for Sky this time around."
"Why?" Dave asked.
"I just feel like our efforts are better spent on other targets." Scott explained. "I know you don't like Sky, but as an alliance, it's good to listen to what your partner has to say. And as your partner, you should listen to me."
"Okay, fine. Maybe you're right." Dave admitted. "Who do you think we should vote for?"
"I'm not too sure yet." Scott admitted. "But I have a few ideas. For starters-"
"Hey ya boys, mind if I sit here?" Sierra asked.
"I'd prefer it if you didn't." Scott stated.
"Well, uh, I'm going to anyway. Everybody else doesn't want me and I hate sitting alone." Sierra explained. "So looks like yer stuck with me."
"Oh... Yay." Scott sarcastically replied.
"So, what'cha guys talking about?" Sierra tried to strike up conversation.
"Oh, nothing really." Dave claimed.
"It's about your alliance, isn't it?" Sierra guessed.
"I... Uh..." Dave trailed off. "How did you know that?"
"I'm an expert on this show. I know things." Sierra stated.
"God you're weird sometimes." Scott remarked.
(Confessional: Sierra)
"You know, I feel like I have a good shot at winning." Sierra admitted. "Everybody just sees mee as an eccentric fan and not a threat. But I think that's exactly what I need them to think."
The camera cut to an up close shot of the film lot's loudspeakers.
"And good morning everyone!" Chris' voice blared over the speakers. "Hope you're through with breakfast because it's challenge time! Come down to the warehouse and we're all gonna have some fun!"
The scene then changed over to the usual warehouse with all the competitors arriving and Chris and Chef already standing around in wait.
"Ah, glad you could make it." Chris greeted upon seeing the contestants.
"Can we please just skip right into things this time." Amy requested.
"That's fine, I wanted to do that anyway." Chris claimed. "So, you may remember our failed superhero challenge from yesterday."
"Oh right, we did the farmin' thing instead of that though." Lightning remembered.
"Indeed we did." Chris said. "But guess what... It's happening now! Isn't that great?"
"Uh, yeah. Guess so." Sky replied.
"What are the rules exactly?" Shawn asked.
"Thank you for asking." Chris said. "Now, as you know, most of our budget went into getting our hands on the experimental virtual reality tech. But, I bet you're wondering what the second largest portion of our budget went into."
"Catering?" Scott sarcastically guessed.
"Nope. It went into securing the rights to use characters from a certain superhero franchise for this challenge." Chris explained. "Any guesses as to which hero?"
"Superman!" Sierra enthusiastically guessed.
"No, but you're close." Chris told her. "Anyone else?"
"Uh... I dunno, how about Aquaman?" Sky guessed.
"Seriously? Aquaman?" Chris confusedly replied. "Why is that what you went with?"
"I figured you wouldn't go for anyone that famous." Sky explained.
"Well, you're wrong." Chris stated. "We paid a lot of money and for this episode, you all can step into the world of... Batman!"
"Okay, now I'm interested." Scott admitted.
"Basically, you'll all assume the identities of various Batman characters and must stop a famous Batman villain from stealing some priceless items." Chris explained.
"And what villain is it?" Sierra asked.
"Bane." Chris explained.
"Aw, not Joker?" Sierra remarked.
"Didn't have the budget for Joker." Chris admitted. "But basically, the goal of the challenge is to stop Bane. Shouldn't be that hard except for the fact that it's very hard."
"Oh please, I'm sure it'll be a piece of cake." Amy remarked.
"Well, let's see how you feel about that once we're in there." Chris said. "Anyway, all of you sit down and we can start the challenge."
"Right now?" Scott asked.
"Y'know I feel like we go through this every time." Chris jokingly said. "Seriously, get in there."
With the bite in Chris' voice getting more intense, the contestants took the hint and sat down in the chairs around the room.
"Okay, have fun in the virtual world." Chef told the contestants as he pressed several seemingly random buttons on the machine.
(Confessional: Lightning)
"I was actually lookin' forward to the challenge." Lightning admitted. "I ain't a comic nerd or anything, but it gives me an excuse to dress up and punch dude. And that sounds sha-fun!"
Inside the virutal world, the contestants found themselves inside an enormous underground cave that had an abundance of technology such as computers and display cases for weapons around it.
"Oh wow, we're in the Batcave!" Sierra realized. "That's awesome."
"Okay, calm down, nerd." Amy told her. "Oh my god, what the hell are you wearing?"
Sierra looked down at herself and saw that she was wearing black spandex with a logo of a blue hawk with its wings spread out on it.
"Oh cool, I'm Nightwing." Sierra said. "And it looks like you're..."
Sierra took a quick look at Amy and saw that she was wearing black spandex with a cowl that appeared to have cat ears on it.
"Oh! You're Catwoman." Sierra realized.
"Huh, so Chris is making us all play dress up?" Amy remarked.
"At least you guys got lucky." Dave remarked from out of view.
Dave walked over to them to reveal he was dressed up as Robin. The sight of Dave dressed like this caused Amy burst into laughter.
"Oh my god, that is hilarious!" Amy exclaimed between laughs.
"Wow, I think this is the first time I've seen you express actual human emotion." Dave remarked.
"What's so funny over here?" Sky asked as she approached the group of contestants.
Sky wore purple spandex with yellow gloves and boots with a matching coloured bat shaped insignia on her chest. She had a cowl pulled over her head with batlike ears on it.
"Wow, you do look pretty silly." Sky admitted as she looked over Dave.
"Oh shut up." Dave replied. "At least I don't look like... Actually, your Batgirl outfit is pretty cool."
"Trust me guys, you got lucky in the costume department." Shawn stated as she approached the others.
Shawn was wearing a suit with a red vest and black tie.
"I mean, who am I even supposed to be?" Shawn asked.
"Isn't it obvious, you're Alfred." Sierra told her.
"Didn't take you for much of a comic nerd." Shawn remarked.
"It's more of an interest." Sierra stated.
"Then would you please care to explain who I am." Scott requested as he joined the congregation.
Scott wore a brown jacket with a white shirt and black tie underneath. He also wore glasses and had a police badge on his belt.
"Seriously? You don't know Commissioner Gordon?" Sierra asked.
"Oh, okay, now it's pretty obvious." Scott admitted, looking over himself.
"Hold on, I just realized something. None of us are actually Batman." Dave remarked.
"Oh... I wouldn't say 'None of us'." Lightning said from out of everyone's view.
"Oh crap..." Amy trailed off.
Lightning jumped out from the shadow's and into everyone's view dressed as Batman.
"That's right, Lightning gets to be sha-Batman!" Lightning cheered.
(Confessional: Sky)
"Seeing Lightning dressed as Batman was half amazing, half horrifying." Skly stated.
As soon as all the contestants had been reintroduced to each other, the large computer in the middle of the room's monitor began flashing.
"Alert! Criminal activity has been detected!" A robotic voice cried out from the computer.
"Gah! What's that!?" Dave explained.
"Relax, it's just my computer." Lightning stated.
"You're not really Batman, Lightning." Shawn reminded him.
"Right, right." Lightning said. "Anyway, Batman's computer is givin' him some kinda alarm."
"Three major adversaries detected!" The voice of the robot continued to shouted.
"Is there any way to make this thing quieter?" Sky requested as she put her hands over her ears.
"Hey! Computer guy!" Amy shouted to the computer. "Where exactly are these bad guys?"
"Gotham City Marina!" The computer replied.
"Quickly! To the sha-Batmobile!" Lightning announced. "Woo!"
"This is gonna be interesting." Shawn remarked.
Lightning ran off further into the cave as Shawn followed. Shortly after they were out of sight, the sound of a car speeding off was heard.
"Oh my god, they actually found the Batmobile." Sky remarked.
"C'mon Sky, let's go! We need to see if there are any other bat themed vehicles we can take." Amy told her.
Amy and Sky ran away from the area with Dave and Scott soon following suit. Sierra was left all alone with the computer.
"Huh, I should probably run after them." Sierra realized.
Sierra began sprinting in the direction the others went.
"Hey guys, I call riding the motorcycle!" Sierra announced.
(Confessional: Sierra)
"Y'know, I think I'm the only person left who isn't in an alliance." Sierra realized. "I can't tell if that's an advantage or a disadvantage."
The scene switched to the interior of the Batmobile with Lightning driving and Shawn in the passenger seat.
"So, uh, what's the plan when we get to the marina?" Shawn asked.
"Find the bad guys, beat 'em up. Win the challenge." Lightning stated.
"I feel like it's not gonna be that simple." Shawn told him.
"Pfft, it's always that simple." Lightning said. "'Specially when you're us."
"What do you mean?" Shawn asked.
"You won the last challenge and I won the one before that." Lightning replied. "We got this in the bag."
"I feel like I've seen this before." Shawn remarked.
"Whatta ya mean?" Lightning asked.
"Someone gets overconfident in their abilities, then they fail horribly at the challenge." Shawn said.
"Ah, that's crazy talk." Lightning said.
(Confessional: Lightning)
"I like Shawn. He's a bit crazy, but he knows what he's doin'." Lightning stated. "But the dude needs to lighten up sometimes."
Meanwhile, in the rivers on the outskirts of Gotham city, the Batboat drove through the river. Within the boat itself, Amy piloted the craft with Sky in the passenger seat.
"Are you sure taking the boat is the best idea?" Sky wondered.
"Of course it is. Don't be an idiot." Amy replied. "In fact, it's the definitive best idea."
"Uh, care explaining how?" Sky asked.
"This is at the marina which means there's water. So we've basically got a shortcut." Amy explained.
"Okay, but right now it looks like we're going further from the city." Sky pointed out.
"Well, yeah, it'd be quicker to go through the sewers but that just sounds totally ew." Amy stated. "Ha, no way I'm doing that."
"So how long is this going to take?" Sky asked.
"I don't know." Amy admitted. "But it'd be a lot quicker if you didn't complain so much."
"Okay, fine, if you say so." Sky said. "Shutting up now."
"Thank you." Amy remarked. "Trust me, you'll regret making fun of me for taking the river once we win."
"Okay Amy, whatever you say." Sky replied.
(Confessional: Sky)
"I've finally come up with a strategy to deal with Amy." Sky stated. "Just sorta ignore her. That's the best I can do. Hey, at least she's an ally."
Meanwhile, up in the air, the Batcopter flew through the sky. Inside the helicopter, Scott piloted the vehicle while Dave sat back in the passenger seat.
"Wow, I didn't know you knew how to fly a helicopter." Dave remarked.
"I don't." Scott admitted.
"Wait, what!?" Dave exclaimed.
"Yeah, I'm kinda just winging it." Scott stated. "No pun intended."
"Well could you wing it a bit more carefully?" Dave asked.
"I'll try, okay." Scott replied.
"I just feel like there's a chance we could crash before we get to our destination." Dave said. "And that would be really embarrassing."
"Jesus, you can be a real coward sometimes." Scott remarked.
"I'm not a coward." Dave stated. "I'm just cautious."
"That just sounds like the way cowards say they're cowardly." Scott said.
"C'mon man, we're supposed to be on the same side here." Dave pointed out.
"Okay, fine. I guess I'm sorry." Scott replied. "Now would you do me a favour and shut up. I need to focus on flying."
"Oh, sorry." Dave replied.
(Confessional: Dave)
"I like having Scott on my side." Dave said. "Mostly because it gets another vote on my side... I wish he was nicer to me though."
Meanwhile, on the streets of Gotham, Sierra drove by herself on her motorcycle.
"Whee! Batcycle away!" Sierra cheered.
Sierra continued driving in silence for a few moments.
"Man, I feel kinda lonely." Sierra realized. "Almost makes me regret voting for Gwen."
She made a sharp turn around a corner and soon enough was driving through the loading area of the docks.
"Oh boy, looks like I've made it to the marina." Sierra said. "Oh, I might wanna be sneaky for this next bit."
Sierra brough her motorcycle to a halt and got off of it. She slowly made her way through the loading area, keeping her eyes out for suspicious activity.
"Wow, this is so exciting." Sierra quietly told herself.
She continued through the marina in silence. But she came to a sudden pause when she heard an noise from behind her that sounded like an engine.
"Huh, I wonder what that is." Sierra said.
Sierra looked over her should and saw the Batmobile speeding towards her.
"Gah!" Sierra screamed as she jumped out of the path of the oncoming vehicle. "What's going on here?!"
The Batmobile crashed into a nearby crate and shortly after Shawn and Lightning climbed out.
"Sha-bam! We're first on the scene!" Lightning cheered.
"Uh, Lightning." Shawn said, pointing over at Sierra.
"Dammit. Well, second on the scene ain't bad." Lightning remarked.
"You guys could've run me over!" Sierra exclaimed.
"We're very sorry." Shawn said.
"But we're also in a hurry to fine Bang or whatever his name was." Lightning added.
"It's Bane." Shawn corrected. "And we'll also be leaving now."
Shawn and Lightning ran off away from the area.
(Confessional: Sierra)
"I know I can be a bit... Eccentric. But Lightning, he's just plain weird." Sierra stated.
Meanwhile, in the waters of the Gotham city harbour, the Batboat approached the marina.
"What did I tell you? I totally knew what I was doing." Amy claimed.
"Okay, fine, you got us there. I'm sorry or whatever." Sky said.
"Yeah that's right, you'd better be." Amy said.
"But we totally could've made it here faster." Sky pointed out.
"Yeah, but I don't wanna smell like a sewer." Amy stated. "Now stop complaining and let me park this boat."
"Fine, fine. Do your thing." Sky told her.
"Thank you." Amy replied.
Amy piloted the boat towards a latter by the docks.
"Okay, we climb up here and look for whatever guy we're supposed to beat up." Amy said.
"Bane." Sky reminded her.
"Do I look like I care about names?" Amy replied. "I've called my sister the wrong name since we were eight. Now come on, start climbing before the other teams find this guy."
Amy climbed out of the boat and towards the docks where she began climbing up the ladder. Sky soon followed Amy up the ladder.
"So do you think we're the first people here?" Sky asked.
"Pfft, of course we are. We took the boat. How could we not be?" Amy remarked.
(Confessional: Amy)
"I like this alliance and all." Amy admitted. "But Sky... She's a bit too nice sometimes."
Meanwhile, back up in the air, the Batcopter still flew in the sky but was now closer to the marina.
"Are we going to crash yet?" Dave asked.
"Ugh, no. We've been over this. We're fine." Scott told him.
"I don't feel fine." Dave said.
"Jesus Christ, just shut up while I land this thing." Scott requested.
"Do you know how to land this?" Dave asked.
"No, no I don't." Scott admitted. "But if you shut up, I'll be able to concentrate on landing this thing the right way."
"Okay, sure. Shutting up." Dave said.
Dave clamped his eyes shut as Scott began to lower the helicopter.
"Grow up." Scott quietly muttered as he glanced towards Dave.
Scott landed the chopper down on the roof of a warehouse in the loading docks.
"Are we on the ground, yet?" Dave asked, eyes still shut.
"Yes, we're fine. Stop being such a wimp." Scott told him.
Dave opened his eyes and looked around.
"Oh thank god." Dave remarked. "I am not cut out for this superhero stuff."
"C'mon, let's go find this bane guy." Scott said.
Scott exited the helicopter and, after some hesitation, Dave followed him.
(Confessional: Scott)
"It's not that I don't appreciate the support, but sometimes I really wish I partnered up with someone other than Dave." Scott stated.
Meanwhile, Sierra was wandering around the docks by herself.
"Hmm... I feel like I'm getting close." Sierra told herself. "I have no proof, but I can feel it."
Sierra turned a corner and what she saw caused her to stop in her tracks. A storage crate directly across from her was caved in and a huge muscular man was rooting through the smaller crates within the storage box.
"Wow! I found Bane!" Sierra cheered. "I'm gonna win!"
Sierra's sudden shouting caused Bane to turn around and see her.
"Oh dear, I should not have done that." Sierra realized.
Bane slowly began to lumber towards Sierra.
"Ah, Nightwing, so good of you to join me." Bane remarked. "I was beginning to think nobody would show up."
"Ha! Nope, I'm gonna defeat you." Sierra stated.
"Where's the rest of your friends? Batman taking a sick day?" Bane mockingly asked.
"He won't be joining us tonight." Sierra replied.
"Sha-sweet! We found the muscle dude!" Lightning cheered from off camera.
"Um... Or maybe not." Sierra said.
Just then, Shawn and Lightning ran into view of Bane and Sierra.
"We're here to sha-stop you!" Lightning declared.
"Hmm, three on one. I still think the odds are in my favour." Bane gloated.
"Are you gonna talk or are you gonna fight?" Shawn asked.
"Oh, definitely fight." Bane told him.
Bane pressed a button on his palm which caused yellow fluid to pump through the tubes that connect all over his body. He suddenly became much more muscular somehow.
"Maybe saying that was a mistake..." Shawn trailed off in terror.
(Confessional: Shawn)
"I've now learned not to taunt people with fists bigger than my head." Shawn remarked.
Meanwhile, back over with Amy and Sky, the two girls were walking through the docks with seemingly no idea of what to do.
"Do we know where we going?" Sky asked.
"Oh my god, why are you in pester mode today?" Amy angrily replied.
"Um, excuse me?" Sky said. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"I just feel like you're criticizing me more than usual today." Amy stated. "And I don't like it."
"Amy, I think we have more important stuff to focus on right now." Sky told her partner.
"Like what?" Amy asked.
"Um, you know, the actual challenge." Sky pointed out.
"Oh, right, that." Amy said. "Well, I'm starting to think finding this Bane guy won't be easy. I mean, it's not like he's gonna fall out of the sky or anything."
Suddenly, from around the corner, Lightning went flying through the air until he slammed into a storage crate.
"Sha-damn, I wasn't expectin' that..." Lightning muttered.
"Uh, well, he didn't fall out of the sky." Amy stated.
"Oh my god, what the hell happened to you?" Sky asked.
"Big muscle guy threw me..." Lightning mumbled.
"Yes! We're close!" Sky cheered. "C'mon Amy, this way!"
Sky ran around the corner towards where Lightning was thrown from.
"Okay, jeez, I'm coming. Don't get so overreaciting. Honestly, you sound like a puppy dog or a small child." Amy remarked.
Amy ran after Sky.
(Confessional: Sky)
"I have a theory. If Amy ever says anything nice, she'll die." Sky remarked. "I'm only joking, but it's one of the more logical explanations for why she's like this."
Meanwhile, back on another part of the docks, Scott and Dave were walking around with the intent of finding the others.
"So, have you seen Bane yet?" Scott asked.
"If I did I would've told you." Dave stated "By the way, I have no idea what this Bane guy looks like."
"I'm not much of a comics guy, but I'm pretty sure he's a big muscly guy in a mask." Scott replied. "Should be pretty easy to see."
"Okay, I'll keep an eye out then." Dave remarked.
"Yeah, you'd better." Scott said. "Trust me, the guy should be impossible to miss."
The two of them continued in silence for several moments but stopped when they heard a metallic thump.
"That was probably related to Bane, right?" Dave asked.
"Definitely." Scott agreed. "C'mon, this way!"
The duo dashed around the corner and saw Bane standing tall in the middle of a concrete clearing with the other contestants surrounding him. The ground beneath Bane seemed to have dented just by him standing there. Bane's attention turned to the newcomers.
"Ah, commissioner, Boy Wonder, wasn't expecting to see you here." Bane remarked. "So glad you could join the party. And now that it seems everyone is here, I ask you: Who wants to go first?"
There was a significantly long pause between anyone with none of the contestants unsure of how to reply.
"Um, I'll go first." Shawn finally spoke up.
"Ah, excellent." Bane said.
Bane charged towards Shawn and the others almost instinctively stepped away while the conspiracy theorist froze like a deer in headlights.
"Oh crap..." Shawn trailed off as he braced for impact.
Bane headbutted Shawn in the chest, launching him back several feet until he hit a storage container.
"I'll get up in a second..." Shawn mumbled.
"Who's next?" Bane laughed tauntingly. "This is almost too easy."
Suddenly, Bane was hit in the back of the head with a bat shaped boomerang.
"Sha-Batarang, baby!" Lightning cheered.
"Oh, you want more do you?" Bane remarked. "Well, ask and you shall recieve."
(Confessional: Sky)
"I don't read many comic books. But I really expected the big hulking guy to be more brutish." Sky admitted.
Bane charged at Lightning with his arms outstretched.
"Ha! I ain't scared of you!" Lightning declared.
Lightning began to charge at Bane.
"Either he's very brave, or very stupid." Scott remarked as he watched this.
Bane and Lightning met at the same point in the middle of the area but Bane ended up being so large that Lightning ended up running through the gap between his legs.
"Sha-what?" Lightning remarked in confusion, stopping in his tracks.
Bane continued to run until he slammed into another loading crate.
"Hmm, I think I'll give it a go." Amy said. "Let's see... What weapons does Catwoman have?"
Amy felt around at her costume until her hand grabbed a whip attached to her back.
"All right, I can work with this." Amy remarked as she took the whip off her belt. "Let's go, big guy!"
Bane laughed at Amy and began to run towards her. Amy unrolled her whip and flicked it at Bane. The whip hit bain in the shoulder, narrowly missing one of the tubes that gave Bane the fluid that powered him up. This caused Bane to grab his shoulder in pain.
"Grr! Now you're going to pay!" Bane declared.
"Oh trust me, there's a lot more where that came from." Amy stated.
(Confessional: Amy)
"I'm not a nerd or anything, but I have to admit, it was kinda cool to be Catwoman." Amy said.
Amy paused for a minute.
"Ugh, I feel like a dork saying that." Amy admitted. "Hey, whoever's editing this. Make sure this confessional doesn't make the final cut."
Amy extends her whip towards Bane again but this time Bane grabs the whip in mid-air.
"Nice try." Bane remarked.
Bane pulled the whip right out of Amy's hands. The supervillain began to laugh but was abruptly cut short when he was hit in the back of the head he was hit in the back of the head with a bird-shaped boomerang. He quickly turned around and sees Dave standing behind him as the others back away from him.
"Oh come on, guys! We're not going to get anywhere if we keep this up!" Dave pointed out. "We need to team up if we wanna beat this guy!"
"Yeah, but only one of us can win." Shawn argued.
"That's beside the point!" Dave shouted. "This challenge won't end if we-"
Dave was cut off when he was headbutted into by Bane. This caused Dave to be launched into the air and fall straight to the ground.
"I hate to agree with Dave, but maybe we should listen to him." Sky admitted.
"Thank you..." Dave weakly muttered from the ground.
"C'mon everyone, let's all try to get Bane at once!" Sky announced.
"Hmm... I dunno." Scott replied. "Seems risky."
"Well, sha-Lightning's up for it!" Lightning stated. "Let's go!"
Lightning began to run towards Bane and Sky shortly followed him.
"Might as well give it a shot." Shawn decided before beginning to run towards Bane as well.
"Ooh! I wanna be part of this too!" Sierra cheered as she ran at Bane too.
"Oh, why not." Scott decided as he followed the lead of the others.
"Haha! It's going to be fun to kill you all." Bane told them.
He pressed the button on his palm again, pumping more fluid through his tubes and causing him to grow larger. Sky reached Bane first and punched him in the leg which caused very little reaction.
"Ha!" Bane laughed. "Is that all you-"
Bane was cut off when Lightning kicked him in the underside of his knee. This caught Bane off balance for a moment but he managed to stay on his feet.
"Stop it!" Bane yelled. "It's very annoying!"
Shawn stopped short of reaching Bane and started feeling around at his clothes.
"Hmm... I wonder what kind of weapons a butler has?" Shawn remarked.
Shawn felt something solid underneath his jacket and then pulled a metal dinner plate out from under it.
"Okay, this might work." Shawn remarked.
Shawn ran at Bane and hit him in the leg with the dinner plate which caused absolutely no reaction.
"Guys! Isn't this obvious!" Amy shouted. "We need to cut those pipes on his arms!"
(Confessional: Amy)
"Ugh, I feel like a dork for figuring that out too." Amy admitted. "I just want the record to state, I haven't touched a comic book in my entire life."
Dave gets up from the ground and looks over at the other competitors fighting Bane.
"Okay, let's give this a shot." Dave told himself. "Let's see... Do I have any tools?"
Dave felt around at his belt until he grabbed a small metal rod.
"Huh, well, this isn't much." Dave remarked.
Dave shakes the rod around for a moment and suddenly it extends into a metal staff.
"Okay, never mind. I can use this." Dave said.
Dave dashed towards the ongoing fight with his staff raised.
"Hey Bane! Um, er, I'm gonna get you!" Dave exclaimed.
"I was really expecting better one-liners from you, Boy Wonder." Bane remarked.
Dave whacked Bane's leg with the staff when he was close enough but once again elicited no reaction.
"Oh my god! I literally just said this! Take out his tubes!" Amy angrily repeated herself. "Ugh, I'm gonna do it."
Amy looked at her costume for any weapons and saw a small button on her belt. She pressed it and claws extended from the tips of the hands on her suit.
"Hmm, I can use this." Amy said.
Amy jumped up at Bane and dug her claws into his back.
"Ha! I barely feel that!" Bane gloated. "Try harder, furball!"
"Well, maybe you'll feel it when I slash those tubes of yours." Amy said.
Amy raised her clawed hand in preparation for an attack but was cut short when a sudden pain surged through the back of her left leg. Amy lost her grip and fell to the ground.
"Dammit! Now my leg's all numb!" Amy exclaimed as she clutched her leg. "Who the hell shot my leg!"
"Sorry, but I want that win." Scott stated as he lowered a gun he held in his right hand.
"OMG! You had that gun the whole time!" Sierra exclaimed in shock.
"Yeah, I didn't know I had it until now either." Scott remarked. "Probably should've figured I had one though considering I was a cop. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a challenge to win."
Bane turned around and raised his fist at Scott just as the redhead began firing off his weapon at the villain. None of the bullets hit Bane directly but several of them punctured his tubes. This sudden development caused Bane to desperately try and cover up his leaking tubes with his hands instead of fighting.
"No! You idiot!" Bane yelled at Scott.
Bane stumbled towards Scott in preparation to attack. But as he did this, he seemed to grow less muscular. Suddenly, Bane collapsed over forwards and slammed into the ground.
"Um... So is he dead or something?" Shawn asked.
"Looks like it." Sierra said.
"So does this mean Scott wins?" Lightning asked.
"It'd better mean that." Scott said.
All the contestants began glowing a white light.
"Huh, looks like a yes." Scott remarked.
"Yeah, good for you." Amy sarcastically said. "Thanks for shooting my leg by the way."
"Oh, shut up. It doesn't even hurt. This is virtual reality." Scott pointed out.
There was a flash of white light and all the contestants vanished.
(Confessional: Scott)
"Y'know, I really think I've got a chance at winning this time." Scott admitted. "Just as long as I don't screw up in the final four for a third time."
Back in the real world, the contestants had just woken from the machine.
"Ah, glad you guys are back." Chris remarked. "Well, not really. Me and Chef were having a nice conversation before you got here."
"Wow, I feel so cared for." Sky sarcastically commented.
"So, uh, I won right?" Scott asked.
"You sure did." Chris told him. "Scott, you don't have to worry about being kicked off tonight."
"Ha, in your face!" Scott bragged. "Uh, sorry Dave."
"I don't mind. Y'know, mostly." Dave said.
"Anyway, Scott may be safe for now but the rest of you, you have to worry about getting booted tonight." Chris continued. "But before that, as always, there's some delicious food prepared by our very own Chef Hatchet. You know the drill, go down to the mess hall or whatever."
(Confessional: Sierra)
"I'm really worried about getting eliminated tonight." Sierra admitted. "Seriously, I'm pretty sure I'm the only person left without an ally."
A little while later, all the contestants had gathered in the mess hall eating some soup together. Once again, the three alliances had split off to three separate tables and Sierra was left wandering around by herself in search of someone to sit with. The camera focused on Amy and Sky's table.
"Okay Sky, I need to brainstorm with you right now." Amy said. "Who should we vote for?"
"Uh... I dunno." Sky admitted. "Who do you think is the most powerful person in the game right now?"
"Hmm... Good question." Amy replied. "I think it's probably Shawn."
"Scott's who I was thinking." Sky admitted.
"Okay, those are some good candidates." Amy said. "But I feel like Shawn's the better choice out of the two of them."
Before the conversation could continue, Sierra approached the table and sat down next to Amy.
"Hey again ladies, mind if I sit here?" Sierra asked.
"Same answer as before, loser. Go sit somewhere else." Amy stated.
"Okay, you're really being rude here." Sierra told her.
"There are literally so many other chairs without other people at them." Amy said.
"But I like the company." Sierra replied.
"Look, just leave, okay?" Amy told her.
"Fine, I'll sit with someone who appreciates me." Sierra remarked.
Sierra stood up and walked away from the two of them.
"Hmmph, maybe we should think about voting for her." Amy said.
"Are you serious?" Sky asked.
Amy paused in thought.
"Maybe." Amy admitted.
(Confessional: Sky)
"Amy might've actually had a point about voting for Sierra." Sky admitted. "I mean, she clearly knows a lot about the game. She even made fourth place the first time she ever played."
The scene switched over to Shawn and Lightning at their table.
"Man, I can't believe I didn't win." Lightning complained. "I mean, I was Batman. How could I not win?"
"Y'know I'd like to point out I was at a disadvantage in that challenge." Shawn remarked. "I mean, how was a butler supposed to compete with a bunch of superheroes?"
"Maybe ya just weren't usin' your powers right?" Lightning suggested.
"All I had was a metal dinner plate." Shawn pointed out.
"I dunno man. I hear those things can do some serious damage." Lightning said.
"From who?" Shawn asked.
"I ain't sure." Lightning asked.
"Let's just talk about this later." Shawn said. "Maybe for now we should focus on who to eliminate. Do you have any ideas?"
"Hmm... I'm coming up blank right now." Lightning admitted. "What about you?"
"I'm thinking either Amy or Scott." Shawn explained.
"Why those two?" Lightning asked.
"They seem like the biggest threats right now." Shawn stated. "Especially Amy."
"I don't see it." Lightning admitted.
"Seriously?" Shawn asked.
"I see Scott, but I don't see how the cheerleader chick is a bigger threat." Lightning explained.
"She just seems slightly more scheming." Shawn explained. "It's an instinctual thing."
"Okay, I'll take yer word for it." Lightning remarked.
(Confessional: Lightning)
"I feel like my alliance with Shawn might take me all the way to the end." Lightning admitted. "'Course, I don't understand what that guy's sayin' a lot of the time."
The scene then changed to Scott and Dave talking at their table.
"Ah, I'm feeling pretty good about myself right now." Scott remarked.
"C'mon, do you have to brag?" Dave asked.
"Sorry, I'm just real impressed in myself. That's all." Scott said.
"Well, I'm still a bit of a target right now, aren't I?" Dave argued.
"Compared to me, Amy, and Shawn, I don't think so." Scott said. "No offence."
"Uh, none taken I guess." Dave replied. "Speaking of targets, we should probably pick ours."
"Well, like I said, Amy and Shawn are probably the best options." Scott told him.
"Sky's also a good option." Dave added.
"Knock it off with Sky. God, how many times do we have to go over this?" Scott asked. "Look, between Shawn and Amy, who would you pick?"
"Hmm... Well, Shawn seems a little smarter." Dave admitted. "So I guess him."
"You got a point there." Scott admitted. "But, Amy annoys me more."
"Hey, if I can't eliminate Sky for personal reasons then you can't vote for Amy because she's annoying." Dave told him. "Even though, yeah, she is pretty annoying."
"Okay, let's just talk this out a bit." Scott told him.
(Confessional: Scott)
"I know I've said it before, but the longer this alliance with Dave goes on, the more I regret it."
A little while later, the contestants had arrived at the stage where the elimination ceremony usually took place. Chris was up on stage looking over the contestants.
"Glad you all could make it." Chris remarked. "So any of you have anything to say?"
"Not really." Sky admitted.
"Yeah, I'm good too." Sierra added.
"Aw man, I had all these witty responses prepared. You guys are no fun." Chris complained.
"Can we just vote please?" Shawn requested.
"Ugh, fine." Chris said. "Go ahead and vote. I'll be in my trailer if you need me."
(Voting Confessional: Amy)
Amy drew an X over one of Sierra's photos.
"After thinkng about it, I think I might've been right about Sierra." Amy admitted. "I'm not letting her sit back and let all the alliance fight each other while she sits back and wins."
(Voting Confessional: Shawn)
Shawn crossed out a photo of Amy.
"You're one of the most unpleasant people I've ever met." Shawn stated. "Plain and simple."
(Voting Confessional: Dave)
Dave scribbled an X over Shawn's photo.
"So, after some discussion with Scott we decided to vote out Shawn." Dave explained. "It was neither of our first choices but I guess it's as good a compromise as you can get."
(Voting Confessional: Sky)
Sky drew an X over a photograph of Sierra.
"I'm still a little unsure about this, but Amy sorta did have a point." Sky remarked. "If she thinks it's a good idea, I'll risk it."
(Voting Confessional: Lightning)
Lightning crossed out a picture of Amy.
"After thinkin' about it, I realize I don't really like you." Lightning commented. "So good riddance."
(Voting Confessional: Scott)
Scott drew an X over one of Shawn's pictures.
"As much as I hate to admit it, this crazy conspiracy nut might be one of the last big threats in the game." Scott admitted.
(Voting Confessional: Sierra)
"I'm not sure who to vote for." Sierra said. "Since everyone else is voting in their little cliques, I feel like I've got some significant power here. Hmm... Who to choose?"
The scene changed over to Chris getting back up on stage after the votes had been cast.
"Okay, I've looked over the votes and it seems we have a definitive loser." Chris stated. "Aside from Scott who is safe, the following contestants recieved zero votes. Lightning, Sky, and Dave. You're all good."
Chris threw the four of them their awards.
"Okay, I'm going to give out another award now. Amy, Sierra, Shawn, one of you is going to definitively be safe." Chris told them. "And that person is..."
...
...
...
...
...
...
"... Sierra!"
Chris tossed the second to last Gilded Chris Award to her.
"Yes!" Sierra cheered. "Still in."
"Shawn, Amy, one of you will be leaving tonight." Chris explained. "But the other one gets yet another lovely statue of me. And that lucky person is..."
...
...
...
...
...
...
"... Amy!"
Chris threw the final statue of himself over to Amy.
"Ha! Yes!" Amy cheered as she caught it. "Take that, zombie boy!"
"Wait, really?" Shawn asked. "I'm out?"
"Hey, I'm not the one casting the votes here." Chris told him. "I just read them. Now, you know what to do. Please escort yourself to the Lame-O-Sine or I'll have Chef do it for you."
"I'll take myself there." Shawn said.
"Great, less work for Chef." Chris remarked, laughing to himself a little. "Have fun on your little trip."
Shawn got up from the bleachers and walked down to the red carpet whre he reached the limousine. He got inside the limo and noticed the camera inside of it.
"Well, I'm not a fan of being eliminated." Shawn admitted. "But at least now I can video chat with Jasmine or-"
Shawn was cut off by the sound of someone tapping at his window. He looked at the source of the sound and saw Lightning outside the limo. Taking the hint, Shawn rolled down the window.
"Um, hey there." Shawn greeted him.
"Hey man, just wanted to say bye to you." Lightning explained. "Just wanted you to know you're a pretty cool guy. Even if ya believe in zombies."
"It's a rational fear. But thank you." Shawn replied. "You're a pretty nice guy too."
"Sha-sweet." Lightning remarked. "Anyway man, sucks that you had to leave. But Lightning will try to win the game for ya."
"Thanks, that's a nice gesture." Shawn said. "Well, I'd better get going."
"Yeah, you take care man." Lightning told him as he leaned away from the car.
The limousine began to drive away.
The camera switched over to Chris still up on stage.
"And there goes another one. Six remain." Chris said. "Who will be the next to go? It's impossible to tell at this point but you should stick around for Total. Drama. Champions!"

And that was the chapter. I did make some changes in the challenge than what was originally suggested to me. The location was changed because I was having trouble describing it for some reason and the villain was changed from Riddler and the Penguin to Bane because the user who I'm writing this story for requested it. I didn't really bother to ask them why. Anyway, I hope the user who suggested this challenge doesn't mind the changes. But that's about it for this chapter. Hopefully the next one is up sooner. Thanks for reading.
