"Welcome to the final stretch of Total Drama City," Chris announced. "At the end of today we will have our final three. Last week we got an unpleasant surprise in the form of Heather. Our new co-host definitely brought the drama, but no one could stand her. So it was no shock that she got the boot in the end of the week. Jasmine found some no insight on her rivalry with Courtney, while the latter is still as stubborn as ever. Will both of those two make it to the final three? What about pretty boy, Justin, and psycho girl, Izzy? Let's watch and find out."
The sun was just rising when Courtney left her house. She immediately began jogging down the street with determination. It was long, though, before she ran into Justin.
"Courtney, you're up a little early," Justin said. "Chris hasn't even given us a wakeup call yet."
"I can't wait to be sprung into action," Courtney replied. "If I get up early and prepare, I'll have the edge. But what are you doing up?"
"It's a beauty secret I was reading about," Justin explained. "Apparently if you get up right before the sun rises, you can eliminate any bags under your eyes."
"You really think that your looks are going to win this contest for you?" Courtney laughed.
"That's all I've got," Justin sighed.
"What are you two doing up so early?" Jasmine moaned as she left her house and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.
"It's something that champions do," Courtney snapped at Jasmine. "So why don't you go right back to bed and let me prepare for my victory?"
Jasmine scowled at Courtney in annoyance. The three were brought out of their aggressive silence when Izzy dropped down between them all.
"Hey, everyone!" she laughed. "Whoa, you all look kinda angry, maybe you need more sleep."
Justin's Confessional
I always thought that I could just rely on my looks to win this show, but I'm realizing that that might not work. I really don't know how I'm going to outlast such determined opponents.
Jasmine's Confessional
I've decided that I can't hate Courtney just for wanting to win as much as I do, but that doesn't make her any less annoying. Still if someone's going to defeat her, it's going to be me, one on one.
Courtney's Confessional
I don't care who I defeat first and how I do it. All that matters is that I destroy one of these losers today and then the rest will come together once I get into the final three.
Izzy's Confessional
I can touch my nose with my tongue. You wanna see?
"Townsfolk, I'm so glad to see that you're so eager to get started," Chris exclaimed happily as he saw the clump of contestants. "So, I guess we might as well begin today's warm-up challenge."
The four contestants turned to face him. Courtney and Jasmine both stepped forward with determination. Izzy grinned wickedly. Justin looked only slightly nervous.
"Since one of you will be winning these homes from good, it seems only fair that you should get to personalize them," Chris explained. "So we're giving you access to all the paint you need. Make your homes beautiful and they'll be judged by myself, Chef…"
The large man arrived carrying a wagon full of paint cans and various brushes and rollers.
"…and our guest judge from an alternate universe," Chris continued, "Zoey!"
Zoey arrived from the other side of the area. She was a thin girl with red hair done up in pigtails. She smiled warmly at everyone.
"Hi, everybody, I'm Zoey," she greeted. "It's such an honour to be judging and a show as cool as Total Drama. I really look forward to—"
"That's good, Zoey," Chris interrupted.
Zoey sighed and looked down.
"You may begin!" Chris announced.
The four campers rushed to the paints and grabbed what they could. Justin, Courtney, and Jasmine all had houses in a row, while Izzy had to run a little further to get to her house. The redhead had just grabbed a variety of random paints and a roller. She was happily slopping it all over her house crazily. Jasmine, Courtney, and Justin were all taking their time. Especially Justin who didn't want to get any paint on his precious skin.
"Really, you're just relying on the primary colours?" Courtney scoffed at Jasmine. "That's like, what you do in kindergarten."
"Oh, and I supposed that your starry pattern is completely not cliché and overdone?" Jasmine retorted.
"It's effective," Courtney sniffed. "And your style is just plain boring."
"Well, I'd say things are going nicely, right guys?" Chris said to his fellow judges. "Hey, where'd Zoey go?"
Zoey was currently admiring Izzy as she maniacally swung her paint roller back and forth.
"So, you're Izzy?" Zoey asked timidly.
"Yep!" Izzy exclaimed as she whirled around.
However she accidentally slapped her roller against Zoey's face and added a red raccoon mask over her eyes.
"Oops, sorry," Izzy apologized.
"No worries," Zoey said with a smile. "But…I think I'm going to stand over here now."
The four contestants continued to paint until Chris called for them to stop.
"The painting warm-up is now complete," Chris declared. "Let's see how you did."
The three started by examining Izzy's house. It was just a clash of random colours. All of them melted together in massive blobs.
"Now, this is creative," Zoey exclaimed.
"It makes me think of all the rage inside of me," Chef added, surprisingly calm.
"Are you two nuts? This is a disaster," Chris exclaimed.
"Maybe we should move onto the next one," Zoey suggested.
The next one was Jasmine. She had painted in a strategic manner. Using a variety of complementing colours all in proper locations she had created a bright, tidy home.
"Now this is art," Chris exclaimed. "Not like that mess, Izzy."
"You call this 'art?'" Chef roared. "This is the most unimaginative design I've ever seen."
"Well…it's nice," Zoey suggested weakly. "But let's see what else there is."
Courtney had painted her house cobalt. However she had left several spaces, ranging in size, blank. This created the impression that it was speckled with stars.
"Eh…it's nice," Chris said unenthusiastically.
"Not really getting my heart beating one way or another," Chef said.
"It's a good effort," Zoey said.
"What?" Courtney screamed. "This is a masterpiece. I bet that wealthy celebrities would easily pay millions to live here."
"No, I wouldn't," Chris replied smugly. "Next house."
The final house was Justin's. He had painted a massive portrait of himself on it. He had added some sparkles and glitter to the scene as well.
"That…"Chris gaped.
"is…" Chef continued.
"…beautiful," Zoey finished.
"First place," they all said.
Justin grinned his signature smile.
"Now, what are we going to do for second place?" Chris asked.
"No question about it, the crazy girl's house," Chef answered.
"She definitely put a lot of effort into making an abstract piece of work," Zoey added.
"What? No, no, no," Chris said. "Anyone can slap together something like that. It takes true talent to stay within the lines."
"I'm warning you, McClean," Chef growled.
"I'll handle this, Chef," Zoey said.
She then turned on her puppy dog eyes and said, "Please, Chris, please, oh please, oh pretty please."
"Fine," Chris grumbled reluctantly. "Izzy you win second place."
"This is ridiculous," Courtney scoffed. "My painting belongs in a museum. Izzy's belongs in a paintball field. If you people really knew art you wouldn't even bother considering anything else. My house should have just been declared winner, any real art critic would tell you that."
"You know what, Courtney, due to your constant whining, I'm overruling any other discussion and automatically giving you last place," Chris said.
"Last place?" Courtney screeched.
Justin's Confessional
Well, it looks like my beauty just might be able to pull through for another week. I don't know what I was so worried about.
Courtney's Confessional
Last place? Don't think that this is going to stop me though. Whatever the challenge is, I'm not letting anything get in my way.
Jasmine's Confessional
Is it possible to hate someone so much, yet still respect them. Courtney has got to be the most annoying person on the planet, and yet she still hasn't given up. I look forward to taking her down.
Izzy's Confessional
You know what else I can do? I can recite on hundred digits of pi. What hear? 3.1415…
Chris guided the contestants over to the hills where a series of large objects were covered by white drapes.
"So, our sponsors have been very generous and were eager to supply my request," Chris explained. "Total Drama City is about to get a visit by some destructive monsters, you. Due to some legal issues, we couldn't use their actual names, but we've come up with some that are just as clever. Our first place winner, Justin, will be controlling the fire breathing lizard known as…Dragonzilla."
Chef and Zoey pulled off the drapes and revealed a large robotic monster. It was green and scaled and had a pair of wings on its back.
"Dragonzilla is a massive force of destruction," Chris explained. "He can breathe fire and those wings aren't just for show."
Chef brought out a ladder and allowed Justin to climb up to the top of the dragon. On top he found a dome that was full of high-tech controls. He sat down into a chair and uneasily looked at the various buttons.
"Now, Izzy, our second place winner," Chris continued. "I present to you…The Drillinator."
The second sheets were pulled down and revealed a gigantic, brown mole. It had an angry scrunched up face and, what looked like, a unicorn's horn sticking out of its head.
"The Drillinator can dig through anything with that horn," Chris described. "And those claws can do some damage as well."
Izzy squealed and hugged the foot of the monster. Zoey smiled at her and presented the ladder. Izzy scrambled up and hopped into the control dome.
"Then we've got Jasmine," Chris continued. "For you we've got…Queen Kong."
The third robotic beast was a large gorilla. It had a pink bow in its poof of hair and seemed to have eyelashes and lips drawn on its face.
"She's got massive strength and packs quite a punch," Chris described. "And lastly, our last place loser, we've got…The Big Ladybug."
The final robot simply looked like a large ladybug.
"That's it?" scoffed Courtney. "That doesn't even resemble anything from a movie."
"Meh, I sure there was one at one time," Chris shrugged. "The Big Ladybug can't really do too much. I mean, I suppose you could do a bit of damage with those pointy legs, and maybe if you really pumped you could get those wings to take off."
Courtney was steaming and grumbling as she climbed up into the robot.
"Now, the only rule in this game is that you want to kill each other," Chris explained. "The first monster to be absolutely destroyed will be the loser. You may begin as soon as I and the other judges get out of the vicinity."
The three judges rushed away from the hills and back to town. Chef rubbed his hands together excitedly, Zoey pulled out some popcorn, and Chef grabbed his megaphone.
"On your mark…get set…begin!" he blared.
The four took a few minutes to get used to the controls. Izzy was the first to make a move. She laughed madly as her mole creature dived straight towards the ground. The drill on its head began spinning rapidly as it charged into the ground. Dirt spayed everywhere as the hole widened. Soon Izzy and her beast were completely submerged.
"Alright, let's get this started," Jasmine declared as she grabbed her controls.
Queen Kong began moving awkwardly forward. Justin began moving his dragon out to meet her. His steps were slow and uneven as he tried to comprehend the controls. The two behemoths ended up just walking into each other before either could do anything.
"Okay, take this," Justin said uncertainly as he pulled a lever.
Dragonzilla slapped Queen Kong across the chest.
"Oh, you'll pay for that," Jasmine said as he pushed a button.
Queen Kong returned the slap. The two went back and forth like this for a while, not taking any real damage. Then Jasmine made a new development. Queen Kong launched a large punched directly into Dragonzilla's snout.
"That's not good," Justin sighed as he heard the loud crash. "I better figure out how to dodge."
Dragonzilla began swaying back and forth as Justin tried to evade another blow.
"This is too easy," Jasmine scoffed as she delivered another punch.
"Cut it out," Justin whined as he tried to slap her again.
"Time for Courtney to shine," Courtney said with an evil grin. "I don't care if this is the 'last place' prize, I can still demolish these two losers."
She pushed down on the gas pedal and The Big Ladybug scampered over to the two battling monsters.
"Ha ha ha, eat this!" Courtney cackled as she prepared to ram into Queen Kong's leg.
However, instead The Big Ladybug just continued on scampering. The little legs were able to keep moving, even on the vertical level up Queen Kong's body. Courtney ended up running over the gorilla, onto the dragon, then right back down to the ground.
"What was that?" she cried.
"Nice try, Courtney," Jasmine taunted as she returned to attacking Justin.
Dragonzilla was swinging its short arms wildly in defense as Jasmine prepared another shot. Queen Kong punched and left a deep dent in the dragon's gut.
"Come on, do something useful," Justin cried as he pushed buttons frantically.
Suddenly, the dragon opened its mouth a blast of fire shot into Queen Kong.
"Now things get interesting," Chris exclaimed.
"You mean what we've been watching so far hasn't been interesting?" Zoey asked.
"Meh, it was mildly entertaining," Chris replied. "But this is the good stuff."
Queen Kong received several burns along its face and body. Jasmine gritted her teeth and readied another punch. Justin was prepared this time and shot out another blast of fire. The gorilla's fist was severely damaged before it even reached the dragon.
"This isn't working," Jasmine growled to herself.
"This time," Courtney declared as she started to charge again.
The Big Ladybug crawled up Dragonzilla's back.
"Take this and that!" Courtney shouted as she flipped switches and pushed buttons.
The Big Ladybug began tenderly tapping its antennae against Dragonzilla.
"See ya, Courtney," Justin said as he pulled a cord.
Dragonzilla flexed its wings and knocked The Big Ladybug off its back. This gave Justin an idea. He began pulling the cord repeatedly and Dragonzilla began floating off into the sky.
"I dare you to hit me now, Jas," he shouted as he shot another bolt of fire down on the gorilla.
Jasmine was able to dodge, but then the ground began to shake. A horn protruded out of the dirt and soon Izzy had returned through another hole.
"Izzy's back!" she cheered.
However she had practically hollowed out all the ground beneath them. With a final tremble the field caved in on itself. Queen Kong was sent sprawling through the dirt. The Big Ladybug was flipped on its back as it rolled through the dirt. Only The Drillinator and Dragonzilla remained unaffected.
"You have got to be kidding me," Courtney scoffed as she realized that she couldn't move anymore.
The Big Ladybug was flailing its legs in the air wildly but with no success of getting back up. Queen Kong, however, was able to regain its balance. Jasmine charged towards Izzy with the gorilla's fist outstretched. As soon as it came in contact with the horn, the metal began to shred off. Jasmine pulled back.
"Okay, that's not going to work," Jasmine sighed.
From the sky Justin fired yet another bolt of fire.
"I could do this all day," he laughed.
Fire spread around Courtney who still was stuck on her back.
"Isn't this a little dangerous?" Zoey asked Chris.
"Of course," Chris laughed. "You don't get viewers for being safe."
"Oh," Zoey said as she looked a little pale.
Jasmine looked up at Justin with annoyance. If things kept going this way, he would easily win and Courtney wouldn't stand a chance.
"I've got it," she exclaimed as she grabbed a small microphone. "Hello, Courtney?"
"What do you want now?" Courtney snapped back through the communicator.
"I've got a plan to help you take down Justin," Jasmine explained.
"Again?" Courtney scoffed. "I'm not your friend, you know that? I don't need your pity."
"I'm doing this because if Justin beats you with an unfair advantage I'll never be able to prove myself as the better woman," Jasmine said. "Now here's the plan…"
Jasmine's Confessional
I've spent too long trying to beat Courtney, it would be such a waste if she lost this way…and I'm not just making up excuses!
Courtney's Confessional
I don't get Jasmine, she spends the whole season with some crazy vendetta against me, but all of a sudden she just wants to help me out. Well, I guess I can take advantage of the situation. If this is a strategy to get me to go easy on her, she's not doing a very good job.
Once the fire had cleared, Queen Kong approached The Big Ladybug. Jasmine lowered a hand and picked up the giant insect. She aimed carefully then tossed the bug into the air. Courtney pulled a lever and the wings deployed. They were nowhere near as powerful as Dragonzilla's wings, but they helped her glide to her target.
"Ha ha, here I come!" she cackled as she readied to ram into Dragonzilla.
Just before impact Courtney flipped a switch. The Big Ladybug pointed its sharp feet outward. Justin heard several clangs as several legs pierced his beast's stomach.
"Hey, get out of there," he shouted as he swung the dragon's stubby arms.
He smashed the ladybug, but its legs stayed embedded in the metal.
"Okay, I'm not holding back," Justin said.
Dragonzilla looked downward and breathed out flare of fire. This turned out to be a bad idea as it ended up burning itself more than the ladybug.
"I am a genius!" Courtney cheered.
"Ahem," Jasmine coughed through the microphone.
"Well, it's true," Courtney said. "It just so happens that this time some of that genius rubbed off on you."
"You know what, I'll take that as a compliment," Jasmine sighed.
However, Jasmine wasn't safe yet. The Drillinator charged at her vigorously. Queen Kong raised its fisted, only for them to be shred again.
"Right," Jasmine said slapping her forward.
The large gorilla was forced to retreat as the mole continued to come at her.
"Ha ha, Izzy, Queen of the Moles, will rule the earth soon," Izzy laughed.
"Wow, she really gets into character," Zoey exclaimed.
"No, I seriously think she believes it," Chris said.
Justin had taken to swooping up and down as he tried to shake Courtney off of him.
"You can't hang on forever," Justin shouted at her.
"I beg to differ," Courtney yelled back.
"Fine, hang on," Justin said. "It's not like you can do anything else."
"Oh, really?" Courtney said evilly.
She turned a wheel and The Big Ladybug began to twist to the side. However, since its legs were still stuck inside of Dragonzilla it ended up ripping the metal even further.
"Not good," Justin squeaked.
He realized that he had already flown into the forest.
"Now I've got you," he declared as he began scraping against branches.
Courtney was rocked back and forth, yet the legs stayed in place. Justin growled and punched his chair in frustration. As they continued through the forest, trees began to scrape against both of them. Courtney continued to drag her legs through the body of the dragon. Justin heard the mechanics of his robotic creature sputtering. With a final scrape of a branch against a wing, he felt himself lose control. He was going down.
"Pull up, pull up," he moaned as he tugged at levers frantically.
Head first, Dragonzilla crashed into a tree. This was also the final impact need to knocked The Big Ladybug off. Although, several of its legs were still stuck in the body, the ladybug had landed on the ground. Justin tried to move but found that he had lost all control.
"No to finish you," Courtney exclaimed.
The Big Ladybug took a few slow steps forward. Having lost the majority of its legs, walking was now a difficulty. Slowly it rams itself against Dragonzilla.
"Take that," Courtney said victorious.
"Is he out?" Zoey asked Chris.
"Oh no, we're playing this out to the bitter end," Chris said.
"But this could take forever," Zoey pointed out.
"That's what makes this interesting," Chris exclaimed.
"No, it makes it excruciatingly boring," Chef growled.
"Chill guys," Chris said. "Are you forgetting that there are still two other contestants? Let's see what they're up to."
Queen Kong was still evading The Drillinator as it jabbed its horn at the gorilla. Jasmine was able to grab onto some higher ground and pull herself up. However, it was a slow process to get the large gorilla to move up. Izzy took the opportunity and charged forward.
"Perfect," Jasmine said with a confident grin.
She waited from the right minute then dropped down. The massive gorilla landed on top of the large mole.
"Take this and this!" Jasmine laughed as she began pounding downwards.
"No one can ride the Queen of the Moles!" Izzy exclaimed as she shook back and forth.
Jasmine immediately stopped attacking and grabbed around the neck of the mole. Izzy began charging forward. With her horn pointed forward she was able to drill through any dirt that got in her way. Jasmine got another idea. She let go of the neck and instead used the massive hands to cover Izzy's dome.
"Ha, let's see you stop me now that you can't see," Jasmine exclaimed.
Izzy kept drilling forward, though, except now she was just charging in one direction. She plowed through the hills and field. Queen Kong didn't let go of the dome though. Soon the two monsters had entered the forest. Izzy kept plowing through though. Branches scratched against Queen Kong, but she still held on.
"Hey," Jasmine exclaimed as she spotted something, "isn't that…"
What she saw was a beat up drag being bumped by an equally beat up ladybug.
"You might as well give up," Courtney exclaimed to Justin. "You can't withstand my strength."
"Behind you!" Justin cried.
Courtney turned around to see a giant gorilla riding on a rampaging mole with a drill that was headed right for her.
Courtney's Confessional
Something tells me that this shouldn't feel so normal.
The Big Ladybug made it a slow run to evade the oncoming mole.
"Faster, faster!" Courtney cried.
She was able to slowly, but frantically, get out of the way of the mole which was now headed point blank for Justin. The model closed his eyes and pushed a button. Dragonzilla flapped its one remaining wing which pushed off against the tree and allowed him to just barely move out of the way. Izzy hit the tree and drilled right through it.
"Uh-oh," Jasmine exclaimed as she saw that the tree was about to come crashing down.
She rolled off of the mole and into the pile consisting of The Big Ladybug and Dragozilla.
"Alright, I can see again!" Izzy exclaimed as she looked up to see a huge tree about to come smashing down on her. Her grin widened.
As the tree came crashing down, The Drillinator was absolutely crushed. When the smoke cleared all that remained was a barely recognizable clump of metal.
"Oh my god!" Zoey cried as she rushed to the scene. "Izzy!"
"She's fine," Chris said as he followed behind her. "Trust me."
"But…but, she was crushed!" Zoey exclaimed. "Didn't you see? We've got to—"
She screamed when a hand came out of the ground and grabbed he ankle.
"No one kills the Queen of the Moles," Izzy exclaimed as she pulled herself out of the ground.
Zoey passed out and Chris was forced to catch her.
"That was the most awesome challenge ever!" Izzy exclaimed.
"It sure was," Chris said, "but you're still out."
"Who cares?" Izzy cried. "My life is complete now."
The three other contestants had gotten out of their robotic creatures as well now and were grouping around Chris and Izzy.
"Congratulations, Justin, Courtney, and Jasmine," Chris said. "You have made it to the final three."
All three of them cheered happily.
"Izzy, I'll see you at the Hilltop of Shame," Chris said.
As the four contestants returned to their homes, Jasmine approached Courtney.
"Well?" she exclaimed.
"What?" Courtney asked.
"No, 'Great idea, Jasmine?' No, 'I couldn't have done it without you?'" Jasmine suggested.
"I won that contest by using my own wit and skills," Courtney replied stoically. "You were just a part of a greater scheme that you couldn't possibly understand. Don't bother trying, you're still too new to really know how to play the game. And that's why you don't stand a chance against me in the final three. I'll admit, you've been a worthy foe, but that doesn't change the fact that I will not let anything stop me this time."
As she walked away Jasmine punched a tree in anger as she cried, "What is her problem?"
Later that day, Izzy, Chris, and Zoey were all standing on the Hilltop of Shame as a helicopter arrived.
"Now, Izzy, you see this?" Chris said as he held up document. "It is a legal document stating that the contestant known as Izzy, E-scope, Esquire, Explosivo, Brainzilla, Izzyard, or whatever other aliases you have, is hereby eliminated from Total Drama City. Permanently. That means that you can't come back. Ever. No matter what. And to solidfy this, I'm stamping this with the Unremovable Stamp of Permanence."
"I think she gets it," Zoey said softly.
"You can never be too careful with Izzy," Chris said. "Now get out of here."
The two redheads climbed up the ladder and into the helicopter.
"Hey, can I drive?" Izzy asked eagerly.
"What?" Zoey exclaimed before she passed out again.
Chris turned to the audience as he exclaimed, "And so I think we all learned a valuable lesson today: The only real monstrosity…was that horrid paintjob on Izzy's house. And don't worry, Chef's demolishing it as we speak. Next week, it's Justin versus Jasmine versus Courtney. Winning means more than anything to all of them, what drastic measures will they take to insure a victory? Will Justin's looks get him through even further? Who will win the seemingly never-ending conflict between Jasmine and Courtney? Just a little further before we find our winner so don't miss the next Total…Drama…City!"
Author's Note: Once again, this was a painful elimination. However, to all you Izzy fans (and really who isn't to some degree?) I have my reasons behind this. The way I see it, if Izzy won it would just defeat the purpose of her. She's the crazy girl who you can never get rid of, but can never really win. I did all I could, I let her get to the final four, and I let her get back on after elimination as tradition. So with that in mind, please don't hate me.
