"Last time on Total Drama Fazbear Cruise, our final three went head to head in our first challenge since being shipwrecked and abandoned on an island. A classic Seashell Hunting extravaganza!" Marionette exclaimed. "Roxy and Cheek continued their weird frenemy bonding experience over their dislike of Adrian, who despite thinking he was slick, we caught him eavesdropping on the competition. Sneaky. After finally revealing himself, he continued his plan to bother and annoy both Roxy and Cheek as long as he possibly could, and it's somehow still working." He continued. "But in the end, after another not so brilliant scheme cooked up by Roxy failed when Adrian used some pretty underhanded tactics to claim the victory, it was Cheek and Roxy who were sent to the bottom two, with Roxy taking the boot in one of Total Drama's most controversially shocking eliminations yet!" He finished.
"With our final two confirmed and a million big ones on the line, who is going to be able to claim victory?" Marionette asked. "Find out right now as a rivalry comes to a head, only on..."
"Total..."
"Drama..."
"Fazbear..."
"Not So Cruise..."
(Cues Theme Music)
Cheek was sitting in the sand in the shade of a tree staring out at the ocean. Today was the day, the day she either shut Adrian up and beat him in arguably the biggest and most important challenge of the entire run of the show, or she failed, let Adrian win a million dollars that he didn't deserve, and let all of her friends, family, and fans down. No reason to worry, right?
As the wind blew Cheek's messy and dirty feathers, she thought. Thought about everything she had been through in the last month and a half alone. Wondering how she made it as far as she did.
She sat alone, not wanting to be bothered by anyone at the moment, especially not Adrian.
She had hardly gotten any sleep since they had been on the island, especially last night. The night before the big challenge, which definitely wasn't a good thing.
Adrian was probably going to be all well rested, meanwhile she's going to be all weak and tired. Great.
Cheek shook her head, before standing up. She needed to do something besides just sit there and think of the worst.
She started walking along the shore like she had done the previous day. It was somewhat relaxing, it's just she wished she wasn't alone doing it.
She walked until she reached the end of the beach where the finish line was for the last challenge. Seeing the seashells lying around in the sand from the challenge just made her mad thinking about how things went. They got cheated by Adrian again, and because of him, Roxy was gone.
Cheek never in a million years thought that she would be so annoyed with Roxy getting eliminated, but Adrian managed to make that happen.
He was probably sitting somewhere on the island with a large smile on his face, and Cheek hated it.
In a fit of temper, Cheek ran over to the baskets and kicked them over, sending the shells all into the sand. She stood there angrily staring at the mess she had just made.
"Wow, I've never seen someone get so mad at seashells before." A voice said, getting Cheek's attention. She quickly turned around and saw Roxy stepping out of the forest.
"Roxy?" Cheek said in surprise, as she took a small step towards her.
"That's me." Roxy replied, before walking towards her.
"What are you doing here? I saw you swim away." Cheek said. Roxy shook her head.
"No. I simply swam around the island to make it look like a left." She said. "There was no way I was going to let Marionette throw me off of an island in the middle of the ocean with no supplies or a boat." She continued.
"Why didn't you find me last night?" Cheek asked.
"Because after swimming around the island in freezing cold water, and trying to find somewhere warm I could sleep in the dark, I was tired. That's why." Roxy replied.
"Well, its good you made it back, and at least someone actually managed to get some sleep last night." Cheek said.
"You didn't sleep?!" Roxy asked.
"I tried, but I couldn't." Cheek replied.
"You have a million dollars on the line here! You're expecting to go in and win against a cheater like Adrian with no sleep?!" Roxy asked.
"I'll be fine. Its not like this is anything new." Cheek replied.
"What are you talking about?" Roxy asked.
"Competing with no sleep. I've done it before and I'll do it again today." Cheek replied.
"You better be sure you know what you're talking about." Roxy said.
"Trust me, I do." Cheek said.
"There's a lot of people relying on you to win, including me, seeing as how I was cheated out of making it to the finale." Roxy said.
"I'm sorry about that." Cheek said.
"Yeah, Adrian is going to be, too." Roxy said in an annoyed tone, as she thought back to how Adrian managed to screw her out of the game.
"When you were trying to find me, did you hear Marionette talking about what today's challenge is going to be?" Cheek asked. Roxy shook her head.
"No, I didn't even see him. I was honestly just trying to find you." She replied. "I needed to make sure that you were ready for what's going to happen today." She continued.
"Yeah, I am." Cheek said, as she nodded.
"You have to be sure about that. This isn't a challenge you can afford to lose." Roxy said. "When we find out what the challenge is, I'll have your back, but you have to make sure you don't let Adrian beat you." She continued. "I've been in the finals before, it's stressful. I let the stress get to me and it screwed me up. You can't let that happen to you. I don't like you and I know you don't like me, but I'd much rather see you win than Adrian." She finished.
"That's a compliment, right?" Cheek asked.
"If you want it to be." Roxy replied.
"I'm going to say it is." Cheek said.
Roxy gave her a single nod in response. Roxy would very obviously rather be in Cheek's position right now, but she wasn't, and she had to get over it. What she knew though, was regardless of how she felt about Cheek, she disliked Adrian way more than she has anyone else since being on the show. So it was very clear that she wanted Cheek to win.
"Look, I have something that I thought you might want back..." Roxy said, before reaching around to the back of her pants and grabbing the Brent plush off of one of her belt loops. "When I was in the water last night, I was swimming around trying to find some of my stuff. I couldn't. But I did find this." She continued, as she extended the plush towards Cheek.
Cheek looked down at the plush in surprise, before slowly taking it out of Roxy's paw.
"Roxy, I-" Cheek started, before Roxy quickly cut her off.
"-Yeah, don't say it, I know. Don't mention it." She said. "And when I say 'don't mention it', seriously, don't ever mention it to anyone." She continued. Cheek looked down at the plush, before looking back up to Roxy.
"I won't." She said, a small smile on her face.
"I was hoping it'd somehow help you win. You'll need all the luck you can get." Roxy said.
"I'm sure it will." Cheek said. She looked at the plush for several more seconds, before doing what Roxy had done and looping the little hang tag on its head around one of her belt rings on her pants.
(Confessional -Cheek)
"I'm actually kind of glad that Roxy decided to ignore being thrown off the island and stayed anyway. It's good knowing that someone is around that actually wants to see Adrian lose as much as I do." Cheek started, before looking down at the plush attached to her belt. "Besides, I don't think this is the same Roxy that we had to deal with back in the first season. There's no way it is, and I'm glad about that." She continued, before looking back up at the camera, a more determined look taking over her face. "But now it's time to push those feelings aside and worry about Adrian. Roxy was right when she said a lot of people are counting on me. I can't lose. I won't, not after coming this far." She finished.
(Confessional End)
(With Adrian)
Adrian had once again been roaming around in the forest, this time he was actually looking for Cheek. He wanted to see what she was up to before the BIG finale today.
It took him several minutes of walking, before he finally heard her talking. He was confused at first, wondering why she would be sitting there talking to herself. He wondered if maybe she had finally lost her mind. The thought made him chuckle.
As he was sneaking closer to the edge of the tree line, he heard a familiar voice that he knew he shouldn't be hearing, Roxy.
Adrian's ears perked up as he got in position so he could see and hear them, but they couldn't him.
"You know, it's funny how things have worked out. We're on an island and this is the second season where we've both made it to the final three together, only this time, I beat you out to make it to the finale." Cheek said. Roxy slowly nodded.
"And no Max this time. I'd rather have to deal with him than Adrian." Roxy said. Cheek nodded in agreement.
Adrian shook his head, as he listened to the females. They weren't talking about anything of any relevance, so he figured he must have already missed all of the good stuff. He smirked as he stood up, knowing it was time to do his thing.
He stepped out of the forest, behind where Roxy and Cheek were. They immediately heard him and turned around.
"Roxy, what a... surprise to see you here." Adrian said.
"Were you listening to us?" Cheek asked. Adrian turned his attention from Roxy, to Cheek and gave her a smile.
"Of course not. How rude do you think I am?" Adrian replied. "I was simply looking for breakfast and overheard you talking, so I decided to come make sure you hadn't completely lost your mind yet. I didn't know you had a guest." He continued, motioning a paw towards Roxy. "So, my lovely little vixen, when did you get back?" He asked, looking back at Roxy. She slowly shook her head in annoyance.
"It's none of your business." Cheek said.
"Oh? Because I thought it was just the two of us in the finale, not the three of us." Adrian said, looking back at Cheek.
"It is, and I'm going to beat you." Cheek said. Adrian let out a light chuckle.
"Aww, it's actually kinda cute that you think you're going to win." Adrian started, before noticing the Brent plush attached to her belt. "Oh, I see you wanted Brent here in some form or fashion. Hey, maybe he can help cheer you up after the devastating loss you're about to suffer." He continued. Cheek balled her fists and growled.
"It is actually a shame Brent isn't here, he could help me knock your teeth down your throat. Not that I need any help doing that." Roxy said. Adrian chuckled.
"Ahh, Roxy, always with the threats. Why am I not surprised?" He said curiously.
"Do you know what? You can make all of the smart*Bleep* comments and distasteful jokes you want, because you're the only one that's going to be embarrassed when this is over. You can make sure of that." Cheek said, getting Adrian to once again look at her.
"So confident. It's a shame that all of that confidence is going to do you no good." Adrian said.
"Its going to do me all the good in the world." Cheek said, a sly smirk appearing on her face. Adrian scoffed.
"I honestly don't know how you house all of that ego in you." Roxy said, getting Adrian to look at her again.
"You want to talk about 'ego'? You-Roxy, want to talk about ego?" Adrian asked, clearly amused by this. "The same Roxy that went through a whole season with assumption that you were better than everyone, and you deserved more than everyone else." He continued, before letting out a light chuckle. "Now that's almost as funny as her thinking she's going to win." He finished.
"You can bring up whatever you want, but something you apparently overlooked is the fact that you're doing the SAME exact thing as I did." Roxy said. Adrian stood there acting confused.
"I don't know what you're talking about." He said.
"This character you're playing is really old at this point. We figured you out a long time ago, so you may as well start acting like you really are." Roxy said. Adrian continued to stand there acting confused.
"Again, Roxy, I don't understand what you mean?" He said, a hint of sarcasm in his voice. Roxy immediately caught it, and wasn't pleased.
"Do you know what?! I've had enough of-" Roxy started, as she stormed towards him with her paws fisted. She didn't make it far, before Cheek grabbed her.
"Stop." Cheek said, surprising the vixen. Adrian was interested with where she was going with this. "If you hurt him now, he won't be able to compete, and if that happens they won't give me the money. So as far as I'm concerned, you can do whatever you want to him, but AFTER I win." She said, looking at Roxy.
Normally Roxy wouldn't have listened to Cheek telling her what to do. But she was right, she wanted to see anyone but Adrian win, so she was going to listen.
"Fine." Roxy said, before stepping back. Adrian grinned as she did.
"Ahh, see, Roxy, you don't have it in you to hurt me or you would have done it already." Adrian said, mockingly. "Do you know what? Maybe after I win, if you stop threatening me, I may just take you out to dinner." He continued, before giving her a wink. This only angered the vixen even more. Cheek was getting ready to say something in response, but didn't get to before she was interrupted.
(Loud Whistle)
"YO! Finalists! Getcho lazy butts over to Marionette's stupid campsite if ya want to compete for the million!" Nightmare exclaimed from across the island.
Adrian looked at the two females, his sly smile still very present on his face.
"Well, looks like its finale time." Adrian started. "I'm just curious as to how Marionette is going to react when he finds out that you never left." He continued, looking at Roxy, before turning his attention to Cheek. "And I just want you to know ahead of time, that I am going to take no joy in embarrassing you when I beat you for the million dollars. But, since you won't just forfeit, it has to be done. And I wholeheartedly apologize for that." He finished. Neither Roxy, nor Cheek were amused by his patronizing them.
Adrian flashed the two females a quick wink, before he started his walk towards Marionette's campsite.
"See you there." He said. Roxy and Cheek looked at each other, both clearly annoyed by Adrian's attitude, before starting their walk to the campsite.
(Confessional -Adrian)
"Looks like its time for me to win that million dollars." Adrian started, a smile on his face. "Am I shocked I made it this far? Absolutely not. I've been saying since the very beginning that I was walking out of this season with that money, and that's what I intend on doing. However, I am surprised at the fact that Cheek made it to the finale with me. I would have honestly preferred beating Roxy for the money, but I suppose it makes no difference who I embarrass." He continued. "Regardless, at the end of the day, Cheek is going to be crying in embarrassment to her equally as pathetic friends, while I celebrate the fact that I'm a million dollars richer. It's going to be great." He finished.
(Confessional End)
Ballora was sitting inside her and Marionette's makeshift tent, with something in her hand. Something that she hadn't told Marionette about yet. Something that had her very nervous.
Nightmare had just called for the competitors to get there for the last challenge. Ballora didn't know if she should talk to Marionette now, or wait.
"Come on, dear, fun's about to start." Marionette said, peaking his head into the tent. Ballora quickly hid what she had in her hands, before looking up and nodding.
"Okay. I'm coming, sweetheart." She replied. Marionette nodded in reply. Ballora sighed, before crawling out of the tent to join him.
It didn't take Adrian too long to make it to the campsite, so once Marionette saw Cheek arriving out of the corner of his eye, he started talking.
"Good morning, finalis- oh, what are you doing here?!" Marionette exclaimed, when he saw Roxy walk up with Cheek.
"Decided to stick around. Is that a problem?" Roxy asked.
"Yeah! Kinda! You were- do you know what? Forget about it. This is the last episode of the season, so I don't even care. Besides..." Marionette was replying, before stopping. "All of your loser friends are supposed to be dropping by anyways." He continued.
"What?!" Cheek said curiously. Marionette nodded, before looking down at his cracked watch.
"Yep, right about..." He started, before stopping, as a large helicopter flew over the island.
"Wait! You could have called for help this whole time?!" Roxy exclaimed. Marionette chuckled, as he looked up at the helicopter.
The door opened, and one by one, former competitors were pushed out of it.
There was a lot of screaming and a lot of falling into the ocean. Except for Baby, she fell and landed face first in the sand.
"Ow." Baby said, as she lay their motionlessly.
"Welcome back, losers!" Marionette exclaimed, as all of the alumni competitors swam to the shore.
"What the heck was that for?!" Freddy asked, as he grabbed his top hat, that was floating in the water next to him.
"Yeah?! The helicopter couldn't have landed and let us get off ourselves?!" Bonnie asked.
"Nope!" Marionette replied.
"Wait! Wait! WAIT!" Roxy exclaimed, getting everyone's attention. "We've been trapped on an island for three days with no food, water, or shelter, and you could have called for help this whole time, but didn't?!" She asked again, this time even more angry. Marionette shrugged.
"I wanted to make it believable." He replied. Roxy growled in anger, as she started storming over to him with her paws fisted. "I'm going to knock your teeth out!" She exclaimed. She didn't make it far, before Nightmare grabbed ahold of her and easily held her back.
"Brent!" Cheek exclaimed, as she started running towards him. Brent, soaked feathers and all, started making his way to her, too. Neither made it far, before Nightmare, who was still holding onto Roxy, stepped in their way. Cheek ran into him like a wall and fell to the ground. "Ow!" She exclaimed, as she looked to at him. "What did you do that for?!" She asked.
Nightmare ignored her as he turned around and threw Roxy over to where the other eliminated competitors were.
"There will be absolutely NO close contact between eliminated competitors and finalists until AFTER the challenge. At least, unless I change my mind." Marionette said with a chuckle.
"Isn't that a shame. Guess you're going at this one alone." Adrian said with a smirk, as he looked over at Cheek. She pushed herself to her feet and glared at him.
"Are you okay?" Brent asked, trying his best to look past Nightmare's big, bulky frame. Cheek looked at him and nodded.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She replied.
"So... why 'er we back anyway?" Foxy asked.
"Glad you asked!" Marionette exclaimed. "You're all back to... watch the action live!" He continued. No one looked amused.
"That's it?" Randy asked. "You had someone break into my house AGAIN and kidnap me AGAIN so I could be brought to an island and pushed out of a helicopter AGAIN just to watch something I could have watched on tv?!" He continued.
"You had him kidnapped again?!" Ballora asked, as she slapped Marionette in the back of the head.
"Owww!" Marionette whined, as he rubbed his head. "He wouldn't have come back otherwise!" He said.
"I don't mind being on a beach again! Its so coooool!" Max exclaimed, happily, as he stepped out of the water and immediately started shaking himself off.
Water flew around, covering the already soaked alumni competitors.
"Hey! Take it easy! My fur is already going to be a nightmare to get clean from this dirty ocean water!" Baxter exclaimed.
"We have fur too, and, of course, you're the only one complaining." Lizzy said, getting Baxter to look at her.
"I thought for sure they would have forgot to pick you up." Jeremy said, annoying her.
"Calm down. He's just excited." Krystal said, defending the excitable hound. Max smiled, as his tail started wagging happily.
"Yeah, it is cool!" Clyde exclaimed, as he ran up and threw his arm around the equally as excited Max's shoulder.
"I guess it makes sense why they're here, but why are we? We didn't even compete this season." Beth said.
"Yeah, me either. I was your assistant... until you fired me... because of Katy." Rebecca said, getting Katy to glare at her. Rebecca noticed and gave her a glare in return. Marionette was starting to grow increasingly annoyed by all of the questions.
"Because I wanted you all back, OKAY?!" Marionette exclaimed. "Geez, I shouldn't have to explain EVERYTHING I do to all of you!" He continued. Everyone stood in silence staring at him.
"Uh... where's Axel?" Damien asked, breaking the silence, as he looked around, but no one seemed to be paying him any attention.
"We better get something out of this." Goldie said, as he angrily stood there with his arms crossed.
"You will. The satisfaction of getting to see one of your friends win the million dollars that you weren't able to." Marionette said.
"He isn't my friend." Roxy said, as she flashed an annoyed look at Adrian. He gave her a smile in return.
"Don't be like that. You know you are." He said. Roxy shook her head in response.
"It's not all bad. At least we all get to see each other one last time." Chica said.
"Tis' be true." Foxy said, nodding at what his girlfriend just said.
"I would have rather stayed home." Goldie said, completely uninterested with seeing anyone again.
"Well, Bon-Bon and I are glad to see everyone again!" Teddy exclaimed happily. "And we have great news to go along with this reunion!" He continued.
"And what might that be?" Roxy asked, in an uninterested tone.
"Wellllll, we're going to be family! Isn't that great!" Teddy exclaimed, wrapping his arm around Roxy's shoulder in response. Roxy's eyes grew as wide as saucers when he said what he did.
"WHAT?!" Roxy exclaimed in shock. Randy chuckled.
"Sucks to be you." He said. Roxy looked at him, still in shock, before looking back at Teddy.
"W-WHAT?!" She exclaimed again.
"Yep! Well, after I was eliminated and reunited with Bawn-Bawn, we went back to Ireland, and one thing led to another... and a proposal happened-" Teddy started, before being interrupted by his little bunny friend.
"-And she said yes!" Bon-Bon exclaimed happily. Everyone stood around in silence, not knowing what to say. Roxy was the most shocked out of everyone there.
"Yep! Bawn-Bawn and Bawnnet are engaged!" Teddy exclaimed. "I'm so happy for you, Bawn-Bawn!" He continued. Roxy went from full blown shocked to a more surprised-shock.
"Awwwww! How adorable!" Baby squealed.
"W-wait, so... it was the puppet that got engaged... not you?" Roxy said, wanting to make sure she heard him right.
"Yep! But Bawn-Bawn doesn't like being called a puppet." Teddy replied, noticing how annoyed Bon-Bon looked after being called a puppet. Roxy let out a deep sigh of relief, as she looked up at the sky and mouthed her thank you's to The Lord above.
"Yeah, well, if that weirdness is over... lets get into today's finale." Marionette said. Cheek and Adrian both immediately turned their full attention to him. "Now, today's challenge is going to be something special. Something BIG! Something... dangerous." He continued, a smirk on his face. "Today's challenge is going to be an on foot race, up an active volcano filled to the absolute brim with boobytraps and obstacles!" He exclaimed. Cheek and Adrian were both surprised.
"Wait, there isn't a volcano on this island." Roxy said. Marionette chuckled.
"Yep, there is. It's right over there." He replied, as he pointed to a large volcano with large amounts of smoke coming out of the top. The whole sky around it was red.
"What the *Bleep*?! That wasn't there before!" Roxy exclaimed.
"It was. Guess you overlooked it." Marionette said, as he shrugged. Roxy shook her head.
"Hmm... looks dangerous. Nothing I can't handle." Adrian said with a smile, as he looked over at Cheek. "I don't know about you though." He continued. Cheek shook her head.
"I've been on this show for three seasons, you have no clue what I can handle." She said. Adrian smirked in response.
"Also, you'll be carrying these life size replica dummies of your finale opponent up to the top with you, to throw into the volcano as a bonus reward!" Marionette exclaimed, as Nightmare walked out of the water with a dummy of both Cheek and Adrian on either one of his shoulders. "They're a bit wet, so that may add on a few pounds." He continued with a chuckle.
"Wait, weren't you just-?" Buddy started, before stopping, as he looked over to where Nightmare had previously been standing. "How did you-?" He continued, confused out of his mind at that moment.
"Where the heck did those come from?!" Roxy asked.
"Uh..." Marionette started, before being interrupted.
"Who cares, lets just get this over with." Goldie said.
"Yep! Lets!" Marionette exclaimed.
Nightmare dropped the two dolls at the feet of Adrian and Cheek, who looked down at them.
"Hmm... this doll looks just as confident as the real thing." Adrian said, causing Cheek to growl.
"Yeah? And this one actually knows how to keep his big mouth shut, unlike the real thing." Cheek retorted, causing Adrian to frown.
(Confessional -Cheek)
"Okay, okay, this is it. It's time to beat Adrian and win that money. Am I nervous? Of course, who wouldn't be? With how much there is on the line here I think being nervous is a given. But, I'm not going to let that stop me. Roxy said that was her downfall when she lost. It's not going to be mine." Cheek started, before shaking her head. "This may very well be the most dangerous challenge in the history of the show. But who cares, right? I made it this far and I'm not going to let a couple of cheaply made boobytraps, a doll of the jerk I'm looking to beat, and an active volcano stop me from accomplishing what I've set out to do!" She continued. "Top of the volcano, I'm coming for my million dollars." She finished, a confident look on her face.
(Switch to -Adrian)
Adrian sat in front of the camera with his arms crossed and a small grin on his face. He didn't look at all nervous about the challenge he was about to compete in.
"I'm not nervous. I've got this challenge in the bag just like I've had this whole season that way. Cheek can pretend to be as confident as she wants, but it's not going to get her anywhere. Even with all of her friends watching, it would have been best for them to just stay at home, because now all they're going to be doing is shaking their heads in disappointment when Cheek fails them like I know she's going to." Adrian started, before letting out a chuckle. "But hey, that's their problem, not mine. I don't care what any of them do, honestly. Because at the end of all of this, I'm going to be standing in front of all of them a million dollars richer, and that is going to feel great." He continued, before a smirk appeared. "Hey, I may even let Roxy and Cheek both count my money for me to make sure it's all there. Because that's the closest they're going to get to it." He finished.
(Confessional End)
Nightmare, Ballora, and every non-competing alumni competitor climbed into the helicopter that landed, to take them all to the top of the volcano.
Cheek looked over at Brent, who was standing near the copter with Roxy and Randy.
"You'll do great. I'll see you at the top." Brent said, trying to build her confidence. Cheek smiled at him and nodded.
"I'll see you there." Cheek said, before looking over at Roxy, who gave her a single nod.
Roxy didn't even have to say anything for Cheek to know what she meant. She had the vixen's support, she already knew that.
Cheek watched as her friends climbed into the helicopter, before looking over at Marionette, who was approaching her and Adrian.
"Alright, the base of the volcano is right over there. First one to the top of the volcano WITH their doll, and throws the doll into it, wins." Marionette explained. Both Cheek and Adrian nodded in response.
After, Marionette walked over to the helicopter to hop in, but stopped and chuckled, before turning around.
"Try not to die on your way up. Don't want to have to go through the extensive amount of paperwork to make sure I don't get sued by your families." He called, before hopping into the helicopter. As it lifted it, Marionette looked out the door. "You can start!" He yelled down.
Cheek and Adrian both immediately grabbed their dolls and took off to the base of the volcano.
Cheek's doll was a lot heavier than Adrian's, considering they were pretty much the exact size and weight of the competitor they were modeled after.
Cheek heaved, as she tried to lift the doll up onto her shoulders. Adrian looked back as he ran.
"C'mon, Cheek, I don't weigh THAT much." Adrian called, only further annoying Cheek.
Cheek growled as she was finally able to get the heavy doll in a good enough position to start running with it. Adrian was already in the lead, which she didn't like. Not at all.
Adrian chuckled once he realized the challenge had just started and he was already beating her. Again, he knew he had this challenge in the bag.
Since the base of the volcano was so close, it didn't take him long at all to get there. Once Adrian got onto the trail to head up, he laughed. This challenge was going to be easier than he originally thought.
Cheek was still struggling to keep up. She was managing, but carrying the weight of a full grown wolf that must have weighed a good eighty pounds more than her was tough.
Cheek finally got onto the trail, watching as Adrian made it further and further ahead of her. She didn't need to start panicking now though, she could still catch up. She had to.
Adrian couldn't help but smile. He was in the lead and had been since they started the challenge, the doll he was having to carry wasn't too heavy, he hadn't run into any boobytraps yet, and he was about to win the easiest million dollars ever.
He was happy. At least, that was until a spear shot out from the side of the mountain and almost went through his head. Adrian froze in shock, before looking over at the side of the volcano and saw dozens of holes carved out of the side, he figured they all must have been rigged with spears.
"Great." Adrian muttered to himself. He looked down but didn't see any sort of pattern that trigger the spears, he figured it was either motion censor, or it was completely random. Either way, he knew he didn't have time to waste, so he continued on.
He had only managed to take two steps before another spear shot at him, this time at his legs. He somehow managed to jump over it, whilst still carrying the doll on his shoulder.
Once he landed, he took a deep breath, before continuing. Again, it didn't take too long before another spear shot at him. After once again almost being taken out, he knew he needed to get out of that situation.
He stopped and took another deep breath, before taking off running. Ducking and dodging spear after spear as he ran tried to run to a safe spot. And after almost being hit yet again, he finally reached the end of the spears.
Once he was safe, he stopped and took a breather, before continuing.
Cheek on the other hand had just reached the start of where the spears were. She had seen Adrian almost being taken out by the first one, so she knew they were there.
She tried to reposition the doll on her shoulders, because she knew she was going to have to be quick if she was going to get through this in one piece.
She took her first step forward and nearly got taken out by a spear. If she wouldn't have jumped back when she did, she would have.
Cheek gulped, as she stood there wide eyed. She quickly came to the realization that she was wasting time and knew she had to get moving if she wanted to catch up to Adrian.
She took another step forward, once again almost getting taken out by another spear. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, before continuing on.
She started moving faster than she had been, but still couldn't move as fast as she'd be able to if she wasn't carrying the doll with her. Now she somehow disliked Adrian even more than she already did.
Two more spears shot out at the exact same time, causing Cheek to once again freeze in her tracks as one flew just in front of her, and the other flew straight through the Adrian doll's head and out the other side.
With how close those, especially the one that shot from behind, got to hitting Cheek, she wanted to get the heck past that part. She hurried up as fast as she could at the moment and finally managed to reach the other side. She took a deep breath, before continuing her way up the volcano.
(At The Top of the Volcano)
The others had made it to the top and were now just waiting for Cheek and Adrian to get there. It was so hot up there, that everyone was soaked again, but only this time it was with sweat instead of ocean water.
Brent and Roxy were both pretty nervous at that moment. They didn't know where Cheek was or if she was even in front of Adrian, but they were both hoping she was.
"Phew, it's actually pretty hot up here." Marionette said, as Nightmare stood there angrily fanning him and Ballora. The scolding alumni competitors were annoyed by his comment.
(With Adrian)
There was a decent amount of resting space in between the spears and the next "boobytrap".
Adrian got so used to the resting, that he was caught off guard when he almost fell into a pit. He managed to slid on his heels and come to a stop right on the edge. He looked down the pit and saw it led back down to the base of the volcano, which at that point was already pretty far down.
"Never played a real life version of adult CandyLand before." Adrian muttered to himself, before realizing how stupid what he just said was. He quickly shook it off, before throwing the Cheek doll to the other side. He took a couple of steps back, before running and jumping across, himself.
After he landed and managed to regain his balance, he once again grabbed the Cheek doll, before continuing on his way.
(With Cheek)
At this point Cheek was really struggling, but knew she HAD to keep going. Giving up after making it this far was not an option.
Just like Adrian had almost done, she overlooked the pit and almost fell into it. However, she managed to stop herself before she could.
She stood there not knowing how she was going to get the stupid Adrian doll across it. She knew she could make the jump on her own, not with the doll.
She thought about throwing it across, but with how heavy it was, she didn't know if she could make the throw.
She groaned in frustration, realizing she was wasting time standing there trying to figure this out. Adrian had obviously already made it across, and she figured he was probably almost at the top of the volcano already, which just made her more frustrated to think about.
Eventually she decided she was going to have to risk throwing the doll across, there was no other options. She took a deep breath, before getting the doll into the right position to throw it. It was heavy, so it wasn't going to be easy to do.
"There's a million dollars on the line, you can't screw this up." Cheek said to herself, before taking another deep breath.
After, she grew more determined than she already was. She needed to make sure the doll got to the other side, or else she was going to fail and disappoint everyone. Disappointing Brent was something she refused to do.
She pushed her thoughts aside and focused solely on making sure the doll made it to the other side. After staring at it for several seconds, she heaved the doll up and threw it as hard as she possibly could, almost slipping and falling down the pit as she did.
She closed her eyes as the doll was sent over the pit. She didn't open them again until she heard a smack. She slowly opened one eye and breathed a deep relieved sigh when she saw the doll lying on the ground on the other side of the pit. After, she quickly ran and made the across, before once again heaving the doll up onto her shoulders and continuing on.
(Confessional -Cheek)
"I know throwing a doll across a pit shouldn't be so nerve racking, but when there's so much on the line and you have zero room to make errors, it's pretty rough to deal with." Cheek said.
(Confessional End)
(At The Top of the Volcano)
The alumni competitors continued to stand there sweating. It was awful up there.
Katy stood there throwing glances at Randy, who looked to be in no mood. What she didn't know was that Rebecca was standing nearby glaring holes through her head.
Rebecca started inching closer and closer to Randy, hoping that Katy wouldn't notice. She did.
"So, Randy, have you been okay?" Rebecca asked. Randy sighed in annoyance, not wanting to look at her. Katy growled as she watched, before stepping up to him, herself.
"Why don't you just leave him alone?" Katy asked. Rebecca once again glared at her.
"Why don't you mind your own business?!" Rebecca asked.
"Why don't you stay out of his?!" Katy asked back.
"Why don't you?!" Rebecca exclaimed. Randy groaned loudly.
"Hey, entertainment while we wait!" Marionette exclaimed.
(With Adrian)
Again, there was a somewhat large resting gap between the pit and the next boobytrap and/or obstacle. Adrian had hardly broken a sweat, but he was still enjoying the breaks.
He ran, until he once again had to slide to a stop. He stood there staring at the next thing that stood in his way between him and the one million dollars. A large pool of lava with large chunks of rock that acted as stepping stones to the other side. Adrian sighed.
He made the first jump and easily landed on the first rock. With the way the rocks were scattered, there were plenty of different paths he could take. What he wasn't expecting though, was when the rock he was standing on started sinking into the lava. Adrian screamed, before jumping across to the nearest rock.
It didn't take long before that rock started sinking, too. Adrian quickly realized this was something that wasn't supposed to have hesitation, so he needed to be quick.
While he was jumping over to the next one, he also realized he could make this way harder for Cheek to get across, he just needed to choose the right rocks to jump to.
So that's what he did. One by one he started jumping across to the closest rocks he could, leaving the biggest gaps for Cheek to get across. He laughed once he finally reached the other side.
He turned around to admire his work, when Cheek finally appeared on the opposite side. Adrian chuckled as he looked at her.
"I'm quite curious how you're going to make it past this one. Regardless, I'll see you at the finish line." Adrian called, mockingly, before blowing Cheek a kiss and continuing on his way. Cheek growled as she watched him run off.
After Adrian was gone, Cheek looked down at the rocks she was left. She shook her head when she saw she was somehow going to have to do more jumping. And over lava on top of that.
Now she disliked Adrian even more!
She once again groaned in frustration. She knew she couldn't risk just throwing the doll across, the last thing she needed was losing it after getting it this far up the volcano.
She backed up a few feet, before running and jumping onto the first rock. She surprised herself when she made it.
She started taking a breather, but it didn't last too long, before the rock started sinking into the lava. Cheek went wide eyed, before stepping back and jumping across to the next rock. She almost didn't make it, which scared the crap out of her.
She had to take a deep breath, before she attempted to get across to the next rock. It didn't take long before the rock started sinking.
Cheek had to quickly reposition the doll, before jumping across. This gap was larger than the last one, so it scared her even more when she came closer than before to missing it.
She landed and took another deep breath, before attempting the next jump. The next gap was almost as large as the last. Cheek only had to make two more jumps before she was across, so at least she could be relieved about that.
She made the next jump, just as the rock she was standing on started disappearing under the lava.
She quickly made the next jump over to the last rock, luckily she landed it fine.
After she was on the last rock, she once again had to quickly reposition he heavy doll she still had on her shoulders, before making the final jump to the other side. Once she landed it, she took a very deep breath, before continuing up the volcano.
(At The Top of the Volcano)
Marionette and Ballora continued to stand there getting fanned off by the already angry Nightmare.
Ballora kept getting this very weird feeling that she should tell Marionette what she needed to while they were waiting. She needed to get it out, and she wished she would have done it the night before.
"No! You mind YOUR own business!" Katy exclaimed.
"This is my business and YOU need to stay out of it!" Rebecca yelled back. At this point, the alumni competitors were fed up with this back and fourth bickering between the two females. Randy being the most fed up with it.
"Will you two just... SHUT UP?!" Randy finally yelled. Both Katy and Rebecca both immediately shut their mouths. "Thank you!" He continued, before once again turning away from them.
Katy and Rebecca went back to glaring at each other.
Brent and Roxy just continued to stand there growing more and more anxious as time passed. They were both highly supportive of Cheek, and neither one of them wanted to see Adrian appear at the top first.
Neither one of them could do anything at that particular moment besides the ramp leading to the top of the volcano.
"Come on, Cheek. I know you can do it." Brent said to himself, but just loud enough for Roxy to hear. Roxy looked over at him and gave him a single nod, almost as if she was silently agreeing with him.
Adrian and Cheek had both made it past the their last obstacle, and now it was just a race to the top.
Adrian had a smirk on his face as he ran with the Cheek doll thrown over his shoulder.
Cheek was tired and moving as fast as she could. She was still behind Adrian, but wasn't willing to give up.
(With Adrian)
Adrian could finally see the top of the volcano in the distance. He only had a little not further to go and was going to be rich! He couldn't wait.
He had managed to keep the lead the entire challenge, there was no way Cheek was catching up to him at this point. It was great!
(Confessional -Adrian)
"Ahh, I can taste the million already, and it is... sweet." Adrian said with a huge smile on his face.
(Confessional End)
(With Cheek)
Cheek was panting heavily as she continued to run. The weight of the doll was starting to hurt her shoulder and back, making it even harder for her to keep running.
She didn't know how much further the top of the trail was, but she wasn't going to quit until she got there.
As she ran, she looked down at her belt and saw the Brent plush swaying from side to side with every step she took. When she saw it, she thought of how Brent was at the top of this volcano cheering for her- rooting for her to get up there and beat Adrian.
He was waiting for her, and she couldn't let him down. She couldn't. She wouldn't.
Cheek shook her head, as a more determined face than ever replaced her tired one.
She once again repositioned the doll on her shoulders, before trying to pick up her pace as fast as she could.
(At The Top of the Volcano)
Marionette stood there whistling, waiting for the competitors to show up. Nightmare was still angrily fanning off him and Ballora.
Ballora had stood there in silence for several minutes, before finally deciding she needed to tell him while they were waiting.
"Nester-" Ballora started, before being cut off.
"-Baby, please, remember what we talked about." Marionette said. Ballora sighed in annoyance, before rolling her eyes. Marionette didn't like being called Nester, so he told Ballora to start calling him ''Marionette'' like everyone else does.
"Sweetheart, please. I need to tell you something." Ballora said.
"Can't it wait?" Marionette asked. Ballora shook her head.
"No. You need to know." She replied.
"Fine, what is-" Marionette started, before being interrupted.
"Can I stop yet?! My arms gettin' tired!" Nightmare exclaimed. Marionette looked at him, before shaking his head.
"No way. It's wayyyy too hot up here to not have a fan." Marionette said.
"How do you think we feel?!" Springtrap asked, as he motioned around at the sweat-soaked alumni competitors. Marionette looked over at him, before shrugging.
"Oh come on, you guys look fine." He replied.
"I'll show you fine!" Randy exclaimed. He started storming towards him with his fists balled, but Max and Freddy grabbed him. "Let me go! I'm just going to throw him in the volcano!" He exclaimed, as he tried to fight away from the two.
Marionette stood there watching, letting out a little chuckle as he did. Ballora was getting annoyed at this point.
"Sweetheart, I-" She started, before being cut off by Marionette's hand.
"-Hold on, dear. This is too good." Marionette said, not even bothering to turn and look at her. This was getting ridiculous.
As that was going on, the first competitor finally arrived to the top of the volcano... Adrian.
Adrian strolled up the top of the ramp and onto the top of the volcano with a huge smirk on his face. Both Roxy and Brent both looked shocked and disappointed.
"You may as well get that million dollars ready, because its coming home with me." Adrian said, as he walked towards the opening where the lava was. The only thing he had to do before he won the million, was drop the Cheek doll into the lava.
He slowly made his way over to it, taking his own sweet time as he did.
Ballora stood there furious that Marionette was actually ignoring her. At that moment, she realized she had had enough.
"Nester! I'm pregnant!" Ballora exclaimed. Everyone that had been making any kind of motion froze in their tracks. They were all shocked.
Ballora slowly walked around to face Marionette. His eyes were wide and his mouth was gaped open. He was speechless.
While everyone was distracted with that, Adrian shook off the shock and continued on his way to winning the million dollars.
Roxy looked over and saw Brent staring towards the ground and shaking his head. She knew he didn't want Adrian to win either. She may have been out, but she still had one final trick up her sleeve.
"Adrian! Adrian! W-wait!" Roxy exclaimed, as she ran over to him. Adrian was stopped in his tracks when she blocked his path.
"Excuse me, Roxy. You're standing between me and my million dollars." Adrian said. Roxy shook her head.
"Wait. P-please listen to what I have to say first. Adrian, I-I..." Roxy started stuttering, before stopping and looking away. "Adrian, I have to tell you this now, so hopefully you don't go and forget about me after you win." She continued.
"Tell me what?" Adrian asked, confused.
"Tell you that..." Roxy was replying, before stopping again. "Tell you that you were right. Adrian, I have had feelings for you this whole time. And I-I don't know what I was thinking trying to help Cheek. I was wrong. Adrian, I... I like you!" She blurted out. Adrian stood there surprised for several seconds, before dropping the doll as a smile grew on his face.
"Roxy, that's fantastic! You don't know how long I've been waiting for you to admit that!" Adrian exclaimed. "I'm glad you feel that way! Because, because I do, too!" He exclaimed, before grabbing Roxy by her shoulders and pulling her in for a kiss.
All the alumni competitors cringed in disgust as they watched it go down.
As the kiss was going on, Cheek finally appeared at the top. She was practically dragging the doll at this point.
She started dragging it towards the lava, when she saw Roxy and Adrian kissing. She went wide eyed, as her beak gaped open in shock.
Roxy, who had her eyes opened, used one of them to motion to Cheek to go on. Cheek caught on and went back to dragging the doll. Brent had a huge smile on his face, as he held back his building excitement.
Once Roxy knew Cheek was close enough to winning, she reared her knee back as far as she could, and drilled it right into Adrian's crotch.
Adrian went wide eyed as he backed up with his paws over his now aching private parts. He dropped to his knees and looked up at Roxy in pain.
Roxy wiped her mouth, before walking over to him.
"I told you that you weren't going to win, and I meant it." Roxy said, before putting her foot on his chest and kicking him backwards, back down the trail he had just reached the top of.
All the alumni competitors cheered as they watched Cheek drag the doll to the lava and throw it in.
Afterwards, Cheek tiredly dropped to her knees, as an even louder eruption of cheers broke out.
Brent immediately ran over to his girlfriend, pulled to her feet, pulled her into a hug, and happily spun her around. Cheek laughed as she hugged him back.
"I-I won? I actually won?!" Cheek asked in disbelief, once Brent stopped spinning her. Brent nodded happily.
"I told you you could do it!" Brent said.
"I won! I won! I won!" Cheek exclaimed, as she grasped the front of his shirt and happily bounced up and down in his arms.
"And your winner of Total Drama Fazbear Cruise is Cheek!" Nightmare exclaimed in his usual harsh tone. Marionette was still in too much of a shock to say anything.
The cheering continued, as Cheek pulled Brent forward and kissed him. The kiss lasted a few seconds, before she broke away and turned to face Nightmare, who was standing there with the briefcase in his paws.
Cheek flipped up the locks on the case, sending the top of the case flying up and smacking Nightmare right in the snout. Cheek stood there staring at the money in awe, before quickly closing the case, taking out of Nightmare's paws, and holding it up in the air.
Randy and Roxy were the next two competitors to approach her.
"Hey, congrats. I'm glad you won." Randy said. Cheek smiled at him, before the two embraced in a friendly hug.
After they broke the hug, Cheek looked over at Roxy, who had a small smirk on her face.
"Well, you did it, with my help, but you did it." Roxy said. Cheek nodded.
"Roxy, thank you." Cheek said. Roxy waved her off.
"Just so you know, just because we helped each other the past couple of weeks, this doesn't make us friends." She said. Cheek gave her a slow, single nod.
"I wasn't expecting it to." She said, a small smile on her face. A small smile formed on Roxy's next.
"You did good. I'll give you that." She said.
"Yeah you did!" Max exclaimed happily, as he ran over to Cheek and tackled her into a hug. Cheek was stunned at first by the sudden impact, but smiled and laughed.
Once Max broke the hug, he threw his arms around Cheek and Randy's shoulders, pulling them close to him.
"The three of us together! Someone needs to take a picture!" Max exclaimed, happily. The others laughed.
As they laughed, Katy and Rebecca ran up, knocking Max and Roxy to the side, before each grabbing ahold of one of Randy's arms.
"Stop it! He belongs with me!" Rebecca yelled as she pulled on him.
"No he doesn't! Let him go!" Katy yelled back, as she pulled, too.
Randy stood there growing more and more fed up, as the two females continued to pull on him.
"Enough!" Randy yelled, causing both of them to let him go. "This is insane!" He continued.
"Tell Katy you want to be with me so we can end all of this then." Rebecca said. Randy looked at her and shook his head.
"No! I don't want to be with you!" Randy yelled, surprising Rebecca.
"W-what?" Rebecca said, sadly.
"Ha! I told you!" Katy exclaimed.
"I don't want to be with you either." Randy said. Katy went wide eyed. Everyone gasped in shock.
"Didn't see that coming." Goldie said, Freddy looked over at him and nodded.
"I'm not a relationship kinda guy. Sorry." Randy said, before shrugging. Katy and Rebecca stood there in stunned silence, neither one of them knowing what to say.
Out of everyone that wasn't Katy and Rebecca, Cheek was probably the most surprised.
"Are you serious?!" Rebecca asked.
"Yep." Randy replied, very nonchalantly. "Wouldn't mind still being friends though." He said, looking at Katy as he did. She stood in silence for several seconds, before replying.
"Y-yeah, yeah, okay. I'd like that." Katy said. Randy gave her a single nod, before looking back at Cheek.
"So... yeah, congrats." He said. Cheek looked at him surprised, wondering what the heck had gone on between the time Katy was eliminated and now.
Everyone stayed quiet for several seconds, until Foxy remembered there was something Max had asked him about earlier.
"Oh, Laddy, wasn't tere somethin' ye wanted ta do?" Foxy asked, as he walked over to him. Max quickly remembered what they had talked about, and blushed a deep shade of red.
"N-no." Max replied.
"Sure tere was." Foxy said, as he put his paw on Max's back and started pushing him over to Krystal.
"F-Foxy, I don't want to do this." Max whispered quietly in panic.
"You'll do fine, trust me, lad." Foxy whispered back.
Foxy stopped pushing when he got Max over to Krystal. Max turned around to look at the fox, a very uncomfortably nervous look on his face. Foxy gave him a thumbs up, before stepping back.
Max turned around and saw Krystal staring at him.
"Max, what's wrong?" She asked. Max's heart was racing a million miles an hour. He was starting to regret mentioning anything to Foxy.
"W-well, I-uh... um... I j-just... I w-wanted to..." Max stammered very nervously on his words. A small smile made its way onto Krystal's face, once she realized what he was wanting to say. "I-I-I... just wanted t-to see i-if m-m-maybe y-you... y-you would l-l-like t-t-to..." He continued, before once again stopping. His heart felt like it was going to jump right out of his chest.
He once again looked over at Foxy, who motioned him to go on. Max looked back at Krystal, who was waiting for him to finish his sentence.
It was obvious what he was wanting to ask, and the others already knew it.
"I w-was w-wondering I-if m-m-maybe you w-would like t-t-to go o-on a d-d-date with me s-sometime?" Max finally managed to get out. He felt light headed, like he was going to pass out. The heat from the lava didn't help anything either. Krystal's smile widened a little once he finished his question.
"Hmm... I think I'm free. But you have to do one thing for me right now." Krystal said. Max quickly and repeatedly nodded his head.
"A-anything!" He exclaimed. Krystal stood there with a half lidded smile on her face. Max was waiting for her to him what she wanted him to do. The others already knew what she wanted him to do. "What do you want me to-" he started, before being interrupted.
"Dude! Shut up and kiss her already!" Damien exclaimed. Max looked back at him, before quickly looking back at Krystal. Once he did, he quickly moved forward and pressed his lips against hers.
Buddy watched somewhat disappointed, since he had had somewhat of a crush on Krystal. But he was happy for Max.
Even Goldie thought it was about time that it happened.
"And just like that, nerds all around the worlds shipping dreams came true." Jeremy said, completely unamused.
"Stop it." Polly said, annoyed by Jeremy's comment.
Brent, Cheek, Randy, Katy, and even Roxy, all stood around watching with small smiles on their faces. They all knew how long Max had been crushing on Krystal, so it was about time he got the girl.
Several seconds passed before Max and Krystal broke their kiss. Max's cheeks were bright red. Krystal's were a little red, too.
"It's a date." Krystal said. Max's tail was wagging so fast that it was somehow managing to cool down all of the hot competitors.
"Way ta go, lad." Foxy said, a smile on his face.
"THAT'S THE MOST ADORABLE THING EVVVVEEEERRR!" Baby exclaimed. "Another one of my OTP's came true! Finally!" She continued, as she happily grabbed Mike and ran over to Krystal and Max. "Maxstal is now a reality! I can't believe it!" She exclaimed.
"Maxstal?" Mike said, curiously.
"I know William is just as happy for you guys!" Baby exclaimed, as she pulled William out. Max and Krystal both immediately stepped back.
"Sweetheart? Sweetheart?! Hey!" Ballora exclaimed, as she tried to break Marionette from his trance.
"P-p-pregnant?" Marionette muttered, still in shock.
"H-h-hey! I-I-I'm here! I-I want back I-in the g-g-game!" A voice exclaimed, getting everyone's attention.
Everyone looked over at the trail and saw Axel tiredly making his way up it. He was dirty, looked hungry, his clothes were soaked and torn, and he somehow managed to grow a beard.
"Axel?!" Damien exclaimed, as he ran over to his friend.
"I-I want another chance! I-I w-want back in the g-game!" Axel exclaimed.
"Uh... you're a little too late for that." Autumn said.
"Seasons over. Cheek won." Bonnie said. Axel went wide eyed. He looked over at Cheek, who held out the briefcase to show him that what the others had said was true.
"W-what n-n-no! It can't be o-over! I s-swam around in t-the o-ocean for weeks l-l-looking f-for you guys and n-now...-I-I missed I-it?!" Axel asked.
"Yeah. Sorry about that." Cheek said, she did feel bad for him.
Axel shook his head, before dropping to his knees and looking at the ground.
"So... who wants to go celebrate?" Fritz asked.
"I do!" Almost everyone replied, before they all started cheering.
Brent once again pulled Cheek into a hug. He was beyond happy for her. He really was. Cheek smiled, as she hugged him back.
"Looks like I'll be buying youdinner tonight." Cheek said, jokingly. Brent shook his head.
"Nope. I'm definitely buying this time." Brent replied. Cheek giggled, before the two kissed once again.
Their kiss was soon interrupted, when the volcano started shaking. Everyone immediately went wide eyed.
"What the *Bleep*?!" Randy exclaimed.
"It's erupting! RUN!" Nightmare yelled, as he took off back down the trail to the bottom.
Everyone screamed as they ran behind him. Lava soon started spewing out of the volcano, covering the sides as it oozed down.
Everyone ran until they finally got to the bottom. Adrian, who had been laying there, started to push himself to his feet, when everyone else came running off of the ramp, trampling him back down to the ground.
"O-ow." Adrian said, before the lava rained down on top of him.
He was completely black, with ninety percent of his fur burnt off.
Everyone else ran off of the island and into the water, trying to swim as far away as they possibly could.
A helicopter had picked Marionette, Ballora, and Nightmare up, and started hovering just above the others.
"A-and with that very shocking turn of events... Cheek picks up the win and a million dollars to go with it." Marionette started, before stopping and taking a deep breath. "What'll happen next season when we return with twenty-two brand new competitors who will all battle it out for the chance to walk away with one million dollars." He continued. "Find out next season when Total... Drama... Fazbear... Returns!" He finished, trying to sound as enthused as possible at the end.
As he did, large balls of lava started raining down over them. The helicopter immedieately took off. Everyone screamed, as they took off swimming, trying to avoid getting killed.
And that's a wrap on Total Drama Fazbear Cruise! I appreciate everyone who has stuck around reading every week, and hope you have enjoyed the story.
I'm still shocked that I've just finished my third story in my Total Drama series.
Also, the reason I was dead set on finishing the story today is because today is actually the two year anniversary of the day Total Drama Fazbear was posted. Two years! It's hard to believe that I have been working on this series for that long.
I know I did this at the end of last season, but I feel like its necessary. I just want to thank everyone who has read even one chapter in the series. I want to thank everyone that has left reviews and taken part in the elimination ceremonies (A few names I've seen every week for a long time.) And I want to thank everyone that has been supporting the series, even if its only been since the beginning of this season. Thank you. It truly does mean a lot that I was able to come up with a series that so many people have been enjoying the past two years.
It really does make me smile seeing all of the kind reviews and getting all of the kind PMs from fans of the series.
Now moving on from all of that, there are a couple more things I want to talk about before marking this story as complete.
Firstly, I have gone through and counted up every MAIN characters total appearances throughout the series, just because I thought it would be pretty interesting to see.
Now, this only includes appearances were the character was either present in the chapter, or had dialogue. So chapters where a character was mentioned do not count.

Next, just like I do at the end of every season, I want to explain a few things and give you some random and probably useless facts.
Lets start with Adrian. Just like in the previous two seasons where Roxy and Goldie were the main antagonists, Adrian was clearly the main antagonist this season. And the reason he wasn't put in the bottom two is the same reason Goldie and Roxy skipped the bottom two so much. Because he is the main antagonist so he was an important part of the story, and I knew the minute I put him in the bottom two, he would have been voted off.
No, I did not keep making him win because of "Favoritism." Honestly, as much as I like him as a villain, Adrian is not even close to my favorite character. So there was absolutely zero favoritism as to why he made it to the finale. Also, being as main of a villain as he was all season, I figured it would have only been appropriate for him to be defeated in the finale, like Roxy was in the first season.
So, regardless of whether or not you're happy that Cheek won. There's your answer about Adrian.
Next, I have a couple random facts.
1. I originally planned on bringing Beth back instead of Autumn, and having her arc be having to cope with the loss of both her boyfriend and her sister. But I scrapped it and decided to bring Autumn back instead just because Beth made it all the way to the finale last season, and Autumn hasn't made it past chapter ten.
2. I originally planned on bringing Moxie and Bonnet back for the finale, but scrapped it because I didn't think it would make much sense.
3. William the Skull was an on the spot idea I came up with when I was writing the "Deep Sea Diving Disaster" chapter. And I kept him in the story as a running gag for Baby.
4. I originally planned on having Foxy and Chica's main story arc this season Chica finding out that Foxy's accent is fake and that he isn't really a pirate, but the idea got scrapped when Chica was eliminated so early.
5. I originally planned for Axel to return and get eliminated for a third time, but I scrapped it when I couldn't find a good place to fit into the story.
Yep, not too many ''interesting'' facts, but hey, they're facts.
And lastly, the ending. Yep, a brand new season did get announced. I will be publishing the preview chapter of Total Drama Fazbear Returns to coincide with this update.
Check it out to get a taste of the new roster and let me know if a brand new season starting from scratch with a brand new cast of characters would interest you. If I get enough interest in it, I will go through with it. If not, well, it'll end up in my scrapped ideas file.
Anyways, that's pretty much all I needed to say. If you stuck around and actually read all of this, thank you. And if not, then I guess you won't be reading this anyways.
But, again, thank you to everyone who has had any interest at all in the series and I hope to see you all next season!
Marionette and Nightmare were in a cold, dark laboratory somewhere.
Marionette wore a long black robe covering his whole body, except for his face.
The crisped, furless Adrian lay on the cold metal table in the middle of the room.
"So... you're sure if we do this we can prevent a lawsuit?" Marionette asked, Nightmare looked at him and shrugged, before flipping a switch and hitting a series of buttons.
A black, wolf shaped mask was lowered down, covering Adrian's face. The mask was locked down air tight, connecting with the rest of the black suit he was wearing.
The table slowly started returning to an upright position. Once it stopped, the loud breathing from the mask could be heard.
"Marionette, Cheek... did she-" Adrian started, his voice now deep because of the voice box in the mask.
"-She won." Marionette said.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Adrian yelled, as he looked up at the ceiling.
Marionette chuckled.
"Chill out, loser." He said.
