Total Drama: The Big One!
Episode 4: Raft-onalisation!
Part 2: The Rough Raft!
97 contestants are all ready to see what the second challenge is truly going to be entail, as Chris and Blaineley are just working with the rafts today!
So, it's up to the contestants to make the rafts in whichever way they want, but with additional prizes going to some of the teams, there's bound to be some jealousy spread around!
However, it's not going to be easy with all of the potential obstacles around, animals, rivals and saboteurs all included in the challenge to build a good raft!
A good plan of construction is needed to get past all of that and fit all of the odd pieces into their strange plan!
Sorry for taking so long to get this part finished, as I'm definitely working on these, but I guess taking a slight break does slow things down a bit!
But, I'll try to get these chapters at least twice a month or better, mostly because I've got the capabilities to do it and can you please review this one, because I'll touch on the feedback!
''Welcome back to Total Drama: The Big One, where all of the contestants are just ready to start the challenge and there's always bound to be a few mavericks that aren't going with a plan, but it looks like nearly every team is trying to go in with a plan...even if it's created by the craziest.''
There's always enough space to fit 96 into a challenge, but only five on a raft and there was ten groups of somewhat varying numbers that were just trying to get into their roles, especially Scarlett, who was just starting to get a little bit...heated.
''So, I will be the one that will be accurately checking the already cut wood into pieces that give the most chance to float across this body of water-''
''-Why do you get the lead role?'' Sierra asked, slightly jealous and slightly concerned.
''Hold up, she didn't say any of the roles yet.'' Warren was just giving a serious smirk.
''What-'' Sierra wanted to ask the question.
Scarlett was just a little bit angrier than usual, judging by her slightly scrunched anger that was focused in his face.
''As I said, I will be checking the accurately checking the already cut wood, as there will be some rough pieces of wood that would be more suited for another role. Gwen and Courtney will be looking for the wood that would be suited for this raft, Sierra and Cody will be trying to cut the wood to rough specifications and Trent will look for screws and/or string.'' Scarlett was just really sure of the plans that she has managed to summarise in a single minute.
The rest of the team weren't exactly too enthused at the expectation of Scarlett stepping up, as Courtney was just coming up with an angry face.
''Honestly, do all of you have a better plan?!'' Courtney accidentally intimidated them. ''God, why am I getting so angry?''
''Maybe because your personality sticks out like a sore thumb?'' Warren was just getting Courtney's angry face.
''Come on, someone has to suggest something useful!''
''Can I help Trent?''
Scarlett was just giving the thumbs up to the simple amendment, as Warren was just ready to join Trent for some string finding.
''Alright, so that leaves Dan and Ezekiel as the fillers, who are going to fill in the additional roles that this team needs to make this raft!'' Scarlett was just adding the amendments with the proper knowledge. ''Now, we'll figure out which five people are going to ride the best.''
''Oh, it's easy money!'' Ezekiel proclaimed, as he was just standing up. ''I'm gonna help in the best way!''
''And this is for the team, baby.'' Dan was just ready to get going with an certain team.
''...Just do not mess it up for the whole team, it shouldn't be that hard.'' Scarlett was just sighing with a hint of dissapointment, as Dan was just standing by her side. ''Dan, I'll hope you try to catch up.''
''What?''
*Dan's confessional*
Dan was just looking pretty surprised.
''I dunno what is her problem. I've good enough eyesight where I can definitely how accurate the chop of the wood is and I can definitely do some good things with these two eyes right here-'' Dan somehow managed to poke his own eyes, leading him to groan in pain. ''-Why did I not see that coming?''
*Scarlett's confessional*
Scarlett didn't really look too shocked, as she was just looking slightly determined.
''Well, Dan does really have some above-average eyes, but I am worried that he's going to put a spanner in the works...mostly because of his arrogant friend that seems to demean the best members. But I've already made the solution and he won't be in my way.''
Scarlett also had a strangely small smile.
*Confessional cut*
The Lions also managed to get an not so unique special prize, as they were just also allowed to build a boat along with a few other teams, as their tools were very powerful.
''Chris McLean allows the Lions to build a solid boat, along with a few other teams that are way ahead!'' Chef announced, keeping it simple. ''Now get your butt moving, you men and woman!''
''Geez, I got singled out.'' Jo was just shrugging with a serious smile.
''Yeah, don't get too excited about it.'' Craig just added in, ready to get to work.
Some other teams were definitely very willing to make sure that their raft looked the coolest, as Lorenzo and Jo were apparently both just willing to add their ideas, some of which were more conflicting than others, as both sides of the teams were just trying to implement them.
''No, it should have wings to increase the lift or something.'' Lorenzo stated.
''Well, a larger sail is probably going to catch more wind, so...'' Jo was just continuing.
''What about both? There's space for both, obviously.'' Eddie was just looking tired.
''Who says there's enough wood for the expanded sail or even enough cloth?''
''And we don't have the stuff to cut the wings.''
''So, you're not even gonna check to see if there's enough stuff for the sail?''
''There's still gonna be a sail anyways, but there's probably going to be no wings.''
''We'll see about that, jock lady.''
''I would say the same thing, stick figure!''
Eddie was just slightly fustrated, as he was just willing to let it be chill enough to make it actually work and the rest of the teammates were actually willing to concede to just make the complete clash of ideas work, no matter how much wood they were carrying.
''Dude, Lightning's got this in the bag!'' Lightning was just trying to assert his domiance with a single walk. ''Lightning was wondering how you're going to do this thing, because-''
''Lightning, dude. It's not that complicated.'' Eddie was just trying to keep it chill. ''It's just the matter of finding the best wood to make the best raft.''
Lightning just confindently crossed his arms and Eddie was just giving a slightly smug look to the egostistical football player, since they were just both doing the same thing.
''Lightning's gonna find the best wood and use to win it for his team!'' Lightning was just running through to get the best wood.
''Cool, I don't care.''
''You should care because we just lost a guy! We're not going to lose another guy!'' Ali was just ready to put in some work.
''Seriously, though, I feel like it's starting to become over-dramatic.''
''You're right. So, let's just work to our fullest and maybe, we'll win!''
''Now, that I can get behind!''
Eddie and Ali were both just using their power tools to speed it up substantially, as were the rest of the teams that weren't just trying to carry their things.
*Dwayne's confessional*
Dwayne was just a little bit too excited for these challenges.
''You know, dad. I'm starting to like this place...aside from all of the crazy stuff that could kill someone, but it kinda goes with saying. I got a great team that is definitely going to kick butt...okay, make that a maybe and I know I probably shouldn't swear, but it's that good!'' Dwayne almost forgot something. ''Oh, yeah, we've also got the best tools in the game!''
*Confessional cut*
Scott's team were all in a group trying to find the best kind of wood, as they were just all hanging around together digging through some bits of wood at a remarkable pace, as Jose was just trying to get used to the face guard that he managed to get from his suitcase.
That didn't mean that he wasn't working at all, as his gloves were definitely making good pieces of wood easier to find.
''It looks like that there's always a chance to keep those good looks and to dominate in the compeititon, but it doesn't look like that's going with the Donkeys.'' Chris was just offering his cool commentary for the whole team, as Justice wasn't just looking sure about her job.
''Well, time's ticking and you guys are all trying to find some wood!'' Tom was just complaining while grabbing some great wood. ''Besides that, we've got enough to make a good raft!''
''And just so you know, I'm an expert at building rafts.'' Scott was just trying to flip a hammer around. ''My momma taught me how to make one.''
''And what did you do with it?''
''I crossed the lake and my momma was just mad!''
''I bet the second part's a lie-''
''Just carrying a whole load of wood here.'' Kim just prompted them to stop it quickly, as she just pointed to her load of wood and strings. ''And I don't think I can carry it all.''
Tom and Scott were just genuinely sure that Kim wasn't struggling, yet they did some of the carrying anyways, as they were just moving to where Rodney was trying to put the pieces together with his bare hands and hammer.
''Er, hi, Kim...how's the sun?'' Rodney somehow really messed it up, as he was just tryijng to talk normally.
''It's pretty strong, but it's not too strong.''
''Oh, okay...er, what's the plan looking like?'' Rodney finally asked the right question, as his deep sigh wasn't going unnoticed. ''I mean, it's pretty cool that you're letting me do the hand work, but I can't really tie a rope on my own.''
Rodney was just trying to tie a rope, right after nailing the nail in there, as there wasn't really anyone to just do the tying.
*Rodney's confessional*
Rodney was just a little bit confused, as his arms were looking very worn.
''Phew, it's nice to just get to know my team better! It's kind sad that it's not happening that much and I dunno if my love for Kim is shining through!'' Rodney was just getting pretty nervous. ''I just don't know how to tell her about it.''
*Cade's confessional*
Cade was definitely feeling the sweat.
''You know what? This is definitely one messed up team, because I swear I kinda see that the Jose guy and Scott, who needs a wash, arguing some total bull sometimes. At least everyone else's not messed up.''
*Jose's confessional*
Jose was just slightly fustrated with his team of people that weren't left over from choosing the best members.
''Somehow, even though I have the better members, because none of them are very obnoxious, Scott kinda ruins the team with practically everything he brings to the table. He's an bad omen, almost as bad as my brother.'' Jose still had a smug smirk.
*Confessional cut*
Some other teams, for lack of a better phrase, were very conflicted with each other over somewhat pointless things that were just actively making their team's raft a little bit too unbalanced.
It could be also because practically none of the members were able to test the boat out on the water, thanks all of them being focused on making their raft the best raft on the island.
''Oooh, I bet the Swans just have a cat fight generator, as the two leaders are caught up in their own cat fight.'' Blaineley taunted to the whole team.
''Wow, talk about being an idiot.'' Duncan observed the Swans' leadership. ''Seriously, you're gonna fight all day or what?''
Josee and Sugar were just looking back at the punk.
''I'm gonna go with the 'or what' part!'' Lesley fired back with some support. ''Trust me, we've got something going on and it's going to be good!''
''It's going to be well-built and well done!'' Sammy was just trying to bring some more support.
Duncan was just shrugging his shoulders with an very relaxed look, as the Swans were definitely slightly out-of-sync with each other in quite a few ways.
Lesley and Sammy were just getting their deepest sigh, as it was obvious that Sugar was just trying to be very annoying and very usable, even if it was just making the rest of the team just trying to do something about it.
Josee was doing something about it, but that was just merely taking away a plank and putting in the work.
''I'm not going to let you just sabotage our team into losing this one!'' Josee shouted.
''And I ain't doing that! I'm sayin' you ain't got an idea what this thingy needs!''
''Can I help?'' Leslie just butted herself in. ''I know my way around the tools?''
''Yeah, whatever! My momma ain't gonna let me touch any tools, so I'm gonna carry the most wood!'' Sugar was just ready to get back into the dump.
''Thanks...'' Leslie was jsut slightly stunned.
''You better appreciate it!'' Sugar confindently stated, as Leslie got to work on making the raft actually functional.
Josee and Jacques were definitely just willing to make sure that their team didn't fall behind any further than usual, even with some of the more lackluster members not putting their full effort into just making it work, Anna Maria included.
The whole team were just working their butts off, as Sammy was just trying to get her confindence fixed.
''So, do you think I've helped the team out in a special way?'' Sammy just cut herself off.
''I mean, you've set yourself to be a decent leader, wherever that matters or not. That's a special kind of help.'' Leslie was just keeping it pretty simple.
''Come on, but that's just a suggestion.''
''And it's a suggestion that's got my heart into the game.''
''Really, well, I'm not exactly the best to be a leader. I'm just a cheerleader that tries to be super positive.''
''Hey, that can be a good thing to start with...just being positive. Then you can just be the best leader.''
''You sure?''
''I'm kinda sure.''
Sammy and Lesley was just trying to get this raft finished, as the team weren't exactly in the best mood for getting it all fixed up, even if this raft was actually starting to take shape as the swans were painted on it.
Katie and Sadie didn't even need to be unsure what to do, as they were just trying to make sure that the sail was just looking pretty good and replace-able enough to kick some serious butt.
''Katie, maybe it's a little bit too bright, but I guess I can't really change it.'' Sadie was just noticing the very pink mast.
''Wait, but it's our team's color, though.'' Katie was just trying to see what's wrong, as she just turned the sail in a very different direction.
''...Hold on, it's actually perfect!''
Anna Maria also looked at the newly decorated mast.
''Hold on, why the heck can't we put swans on it?!'' Anna Maria yelled, as she was just getting it done.
''Because it's a raft that might just end up falling down with a swan in it.'' Lux just added in. ''Also, we don't need more reasons to be divided and it might poison the lake.''
''I ain't stupid and we're gonna find out a way to put a swan in this raft!''
''Why are we building rafts?''
''Because Chris sees that I'm the player!''
Lux and Anna Maria were definitely starting to get on each other's bad side, as Lesley was just shrugging it over just trying to put some swans onto the raft.
*Lux's confessional*
Lux was just looking slightly more determined to do something bad.
''Geez, being with objectively annoying people kinda makes me angry.'' Lux was just stating the obvious. ''I dunno if that makes sense, but she really annoys me.''
*Jacques' confessional*
Jacques just had a very smug face, as he was just thinking of a plan.
''I swear there's a good team in this group of silver medallists somewhere and Josee is probably going to help with her gold-medal mind and strength...Or not.''
*Confessional cut*
Some teams were actually situated right next to each other for no apparent reason, other than to be somewhat disruptive and to possibly copy each other to save some time.
The Camels and the Gopher Squad were actually situated right next to each other, as they were both working on their aquatic transportation with the diligence of their team's original animals and they were completely sure that their rafts looked quite a little bit different.
Even if the latter team was just working from a blueprint.
''Seriously, why didn't you get your own spot, anti-me?'' Noah was just slightly confused. ''There's probably a million square miles of space to build it without
''Hold on, Noah. We found this spot first, so we're working on it.'' Justin just casually told him. ''And besides, most of the team is not copying you.''
''So that explains why Amy's looking at your raft.''
''Yep, it does.'' Justin just threw it off as another deception.
Amy was just definitely not doing that, as she was just doing an quick observation of her rivals, before trying to make sure that her sister's raft was the best.
Duncan was just trying to do the same thing with a serious smile on his face, as Noah couldn't really say anything without having a hint of hypocrisy to his words.
''Touche.''
Noah and Justin were just going back to their teams, who were just ridiculously motivated to make it through to the end, as their rafts were getting slowly more and more complete, Justin's team having an head-start.
But it didn't mean that Noah wasn't close to him, as the raft was just mostly complete structure-wise, so it was just a challenge to complete and decorate first.
''Why aren't we building a boat?'' Emma asked. ''I mean it's easier to decorate a boat-oh.''
''Yeah, I don't think Chris is that much of a person that thinks ahead.'' Shawn was just trying to make it work, as Noah nodded in agreement. ''Maybe it's just a good challenge.''
''It's hard to say wherever that's true.'' Sky was just trying to make sure that the mast was just fitting on properly. ''It is still pretty satisifying, though.''
Dave was just having an very angry face, as he wasn't really contributing that much to the team, as well as Mickey trying to make sure that his hammer was just not missing the hammer and not pounding in the wood to make miniature circles in it.
''Are you going to help me?'' Mickey was just still making a lot of misses.
''No, because I think you're going to do fine and also because, I'm already doing some hammering with a clean hammer.'' Dave was just a little bit nervous about the hammering.
''So, that's a no?''
''Of course it is.'' Dave was just a little bit too annoyed. ''I just get nervous around dirty stuff.''
''Honestly, don't be. There's much dirtier stuff out there anyways.''
''That's why I don't like dirt! It contains all kinds of nasty dieases and illnesses!''
Dave was just starting to make Mickey a little bit more scared, as his eyes were wide, resulting in the latter just dropping the hammer just to the left of his foot.
''So, are you gonna hammer that or not?'' Mickey was just trying to get Dave back into hammering the thing. ''I think I'm not having much luck with the hammer.''
Dave was just not looking too pleased, as Emma was just feeling pretty confindent about this raft and he was just definitely getting back into hammer.
''It's actually looking good.'' Dave was just slightly confused. ''Emma, is Mickey okay?''
''I'll just use my eyes and my eyes saying that he's...not looking good and how's the job?'' Emma was just looking slightly concerned about the whole team, as the jobs were mostly done.
''Let's just say that the job's done and I almost broke my foot.'' Mickey was just looking very shaky, as Emma was just looking stunned.
''Cool...and it looks like everything's a go! Come on, we've got to add something onto it!'' Emma commanded, ready to get this under control. ''Seriously, we need to find some good decorations!''
Mickey and Dave were definitely a little bit scared of the potential of the other team, as it was just in action, even with the rest of them working their hardest.
''I didn't even know that getting a blueprint could make up that time!'' Sky was just genuinely surprised by the squad that were just working to the fullest. ''Jasmine, I'm gonna have to step it up.''
''Alright, but you're going to have to-''
''Done!'' Sky was just running off.
As for the other team, they were actually just almost finishing it with their raft, completely willing to bring it on with their power of teamwork and great co-ordination.
''Thanks, brother! You really made this plan work in such a special way!'' Toshihisa was just trying to make it work with the paint.
''No problem, Toshi. I think it couldn't have been-'' Iehisa was just nervously missing a nail.
''Twenty minutes until judging time and did I forgot to tell you, that there's more to this challenge than you think?'' Chris announced, making the greenest team in the game more motivated to just prepare for the worst.
All of the brothers and Brick were definitely looking sure that they weren't about to lose this challenge, as they were taking their efforts to the next level and Leonard's spells apparently worked on the hammer, as he was just putting all of the nails in there with some semblance of effort.
''Man, this blueprint has really helped us all.'' Clayton was just looking relaxed. ''We're done and we've got twenty minutes to start painting.''
''Sadly, no-one's got those art skills and even my bros aren't the best artists.'' Kazuhisa was just as relaxed, as he was trying to picture it.
''I'll admit that I'm not exactly the best artist, but it's definitely not bad.'' Yoshihisa admitted, as he was just trying to mkae sure
''Geez, Mike's going to town, isn't he?'' Clayton was just seeing that Mike was trying to make a theme out of it.
''Huh, that's just Mike for you. He's one diligent solider for sure!'' Brick was just trying to make sure that this was being finished to a good standard.
Mike was just looking ridiculously determined for a guy that didn't really have the arms to do the heaviest things, as Zoey was just keeping up with a slightly better wooden gopher.
''Zoey, I think I've got something!'' Mike was just trying to paint the gopher sillouette green.
''Actually, I don't if you've got something. This paint is kinda...slow-drying.''
''Oh...alright, I think I'm just gonna drop this.'' Mike's slow put-down of the old paint can actually made it fall to the right and onto the platforms that was for working on the rafts. ''...Whoa, it falls that easy?!''
''There's no spell that can undo that.'' Leonard was just using his ''enchanted'' hammer.
''Be at ease, it's not like it's going to any raft, sir!'' Brick was just slightly worried about the waste of the paint.
Zoey just closed the dang thing, as it was just a moving puddle of paint that could just ruin some people's day and possibly moving into the Camel's space.
''Not gonna lie, that's the stupidest accident that you've started.'' Justin was just trying to make it improved. ''At least, no-one's getting doing something stupider.''
Amy was just yelling her loudest to get started on adding some additional wood onto the raft, as she was just trying to build on the mast...badly, before being pulled by Brick and Zoey at the same time.
''Are you seriously trying to add something at the last minute? That's not exactly an good idea!'' Yoshihisa was just genuinely worried.
''Look, I know that this raft is probably going to wreck most of them, but it ain't going to blow itself!''
''And you put a plank on there?''
''Come on, I don't know how a raft works, you idiot.''
''Then just chill for a bit and leave it to the pros.''
Amy was just looking ridiculously angry, as Justin was just standing by her side and Leonard was just watching from a distance, being confused.
''Fine, but you're gonna regret it, anyways.'' Amy just said a threatening statement to the self-appointed team leader.
*Yoshihisa's confessional*
Yoshihisa was sitting tall on the seat with a slightly stern look.
''I think Amy might definitely be a problem, but then again, it's just a 'might' so she could be more managable in future challenges.'' The leader was just rubbing his head. ''I don't know when, but she could become a better teammate!''
*Amy's confessional*
Amy was just looking strangely vulnerable for being so angry.
''I just wanted to add something to make it float better than my sister's raft! Is that too hard of a thing to do or is he just sad enough to act like the worst leader?'' Amy just gained a very angry look. ''Well, he's not going to be a problem!''
*Mike and Zoey's confessional*
Zoey was just sighing his hardest.
''I think I'm going to have to pull something to make her a better person. Right now, she's just blowing up over something that could make or break the raft!'' Zoey was just genuinely sure. ''Honestly-''
''Come on, Zoey, maybe she had good intentions!'' Mike stated, trying to be a nice guy.
Zoey was just looking pretty sure, as her boyfriend was just getting confused.
*Confessional cut*
''Oooh, there's definitely a lot more drama happening in probably the least dramatic team in the game and there's already a ton in this raft or boat-building game!'' Chris was just genuinely excited.
''Find out if there's more drama in the rest of the teams and we'll recommended the best raft that you can see on TV on...'' Blaineley added in, keeping on hosting.
''...Total Drama: The Big One!'' Both hosts were actually just ending it.
To be continued in the third part, where the contestants are getting their rafts finished and these rafts are prepared to hold about five people!
Well, I don't really have that much more to say after this part, mostly because there's also a surprise that are related to the raft and I'll probably pay the person that guessed it!
Actually, I won't pay the person, but you should guess it regardless in the reviews!
