"Last time on Total Drama Showdown, our final three competitors were forced to endure grossly, dangerous challenges with a lot...and I mean A LOT...on the line" Marionette started "Beth and Damien got more *Clears throat* friendly...with one another as Beth tried to reassure the very doubtful Damien that they were going to make it to the finale together. Meanwhile, Randy continued to push himself away from society once again as he blew off his friends in order to get some early morning thinking about his decisions push-ups in" he continued "And in the end after surprising everyone and guaranteeing her spot in the finale, Beth's victories would send Randy and Damien to the bottom two, where after failing to beat Randy's time in our bungee jumping into the pool of spiders challenge, Damien, was sent packing, finally confirming which two competitors are going to be risking it all for one hundred million dollars!" He finished
"Who's going to walk away with the cash?" Marionette asked "Former Hunting Heros Team Captain, the low tempered, but sometimes levelheaded, Randy?! Or the girl every guys mother wants their girl to be like, the kindhearted, Beth?!" He continued "Find out right now on the exciting season finale of..."
"Total..."
"Drama..."
"SHOWDOWN!"
(Cues Theme Music)
Beth had woken up in the middle of the night and was having a really hard time falling back asleep.
Today was the day, the day that she had hoped she'd make it to, the day that everything Marionette has put her through pays off.
She looked around the trailer at all of the empty beds, it seemed like just yesterday they were full of her friends...and not so friends.
It was definitely weird, as that ever so annoy silence filled the trailer. She sighed as she rolled over and faced the wall.
"Being alone sucks" She muttered to herself.
Meanwhile, Randy was in the other trailer sleeping like a baby.
After almost not making it passed the Goldenette Ceremony, he was tired.
He was so out of it he didn't hear someone sneaking into the trailer. The mystery person carefully and quietly opened the door, snuck in, and left a little brown bag of sand, a whip, and a brown hat on Randy's dresser.
He was on his way out when Randy started mumbling something...
"I'm gonna rip your head off-!" He exclaimed, that prompted the mystery person to pick up the pace and high tail it out of the trailer "-Long time coming, beanpole!" He finished.
(In The Morning)
Beth had managed to fall asleep and get an hour and a half of sleep in, so her being tired on one of the most important days of her life is an understatement.
It seemed to her like as soon as she was able to fall asleep, her alarm went off to wake her up.
She groaned loudly as she climbed out of bed, she was debating on going to take a shower first, but ended up deciding she needed something to wake her up. She knew that Nightmare brewed coffee every morning, so for the first time since she's been there, she was going to get some.
She made her way out of the trailer and headed towards the dining hall, she felt like she would snap at anyone who even looked at her funny.
Once she got to the dining hall she saw Nightmare sitting behind the counter to the kitchen reading a newspaper, she walked up to him.
"Can I have a cup of coffee?" Beth asked, Nightmare didn't even bother to lower the paper
"No, Can't serve coffee to competitors" He replied, shocking Beth
"What?" She said curiously
"Can't serve coffee to the competitors, did you hear me that time?" Nightmare asked, this time in a more annoyed tone.
That's when Beth snapped, she yanked the paper out of his hand and threw it off to the side before grabbing Nightmare by the collar of his shirt and yanking him forward to where they were face to face.
"I DIDN'T GET ANY SLEEP LAST NIGHT, THE BOY I LIKE WAS ELIMINATED, AND I HAVE THE CHANCE AT WINNING A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS TODAY!" Beth yelled "SO GIVE ME SOME COFFEE BEFORE I BECOME YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE!" She finished before letting Nightmare go and pushing him away from her, Nightmare stood there wide eyes and in shock not knowing what to say "COFFEE!" She yelled again when Nightmare stood there for too long, Nightmare hopped up from his seat and rushed over to the coffee maker.
(Confessional -Beth)
"I do feel bad for yelling at Nightmare the way I did...even though he probably deserved it" Beth started "But with everything that's happened in the last day, I...NEEDED...COFFEE" she continued.
(Confessional End)
Nightmare quickly walked back over to Beth to deliver her her coffee, once he sat it down in front of her she looked at it before looking back up at him.
"Sugar" She said, Nightmare didn't even have to think twice about what she had said, he quickly rushed back over to the coffee maker and grabbed the small bowl the sugar packets were in before taking them to Beth "Thank you" she said as she grabbed two of them and emptied them into her coffee.
(With Randy)
Randy let out a loud yawn as he tiredly sat up and stretched his muscles.
He looked around the lonely trailer before looking at the dresser to see what time it was, that's when he noticed the whip, hat, and bag resting there.
He climbed out of bed and walked over to them before examining them...
"I know exactly where this is going" He said to himself as he picked up the whip.
After he looked at it a minute, he sat it back down and sighed before opening the dresser and pulling out some clean clothes.
After, he headed out of the trailer, he was going to head towards the shower but decided to get a little bit of a morning workout in before he did.
He sat his clothes down on the beach chair resting aside the steps to the trailer before dropping to the ground and starting his usually routined push-ups.
He ended up losing track of time and continuing his push-ups for almost forty-five minutes before stopping to go take his shower.
After his shower he headed to the dining hall to get some breakfast before the final challenge started, as he walked in he saw Beth sitting there sipping on her second coffee as she slowly ate her breakfast.
Randy walked over to the counter where Nightmare was sitting with a pouty look on his face. Randy honestly didn't care what his problem was so he just grabbed his plate and went to sit down. He was about to sit down at the opposite end of the table Beth was at, but she motioned him down to where she was.
Randy slowly made his way to the seat across from Beth before sitting down.
"Good morning" Beth said a little more cheery than she was earlier.
"Morning" Randy replied
"So...are you ready for the final challenge?" Beth asked, Randy nodded
"Yes! Final challenge I'll ever have to compete in!" He replied a little bit more excited than he meant to "Glad I get to go home after this" he continued before taking a bite of his food.
Beth could understand why he was excited to not have to do anymore challenges, but she was still confused as to why he didn't want anything to do with anyone when it was over.
"Why?" She said curiously causing Randy to look at her again
"Why what?" He asked
"Why don't you want anything to do with anyone when we're done here?" Beth asked rhetorically, Randy rolled his eyes
"I'm not having this conversation again" He replied
"Randy, I just don't get it" Beth said "We've all been through so much together, I think we've become friends, I just don't get why you want to just forget about all of us" she continued
"I'm moving on with my life" Randy started "Back before I came here, I agreed that I wasn't going to get attached to anyone...so I'm not" he continued "I mean, we've only known each other for three months, it's not like we grew up together" he finished
"So?" Beth started "Just because we've only known each other a few months doesn't mean we all haven't become friends" she continued "I mean some of us found love, some of us have really bonded with each other-" she was saying before being cut off
"-Yeah, some of you. Not me" Randy said
"What about Katy?" Beth said curiously
"What about Katy?" Randy asked
"I think you've become pretty close to her, and don't say you haven't" Beth replied "Or Brent, you two seemed like you were best friends. You overcame your dislike of each other last season and turned it into something special" she continued
"Katy and Brent are cool, but I'm not attached to them" Randy said
"Randy, you're lying" Beth said, Randy shook his head
"I'm not" He said, Beth nodded
"You are" She said "You know that almost everyone here, some more than others, mean something to you" She continued "And you can deny it all you want, but you know it's the truth" she finished, Randy sat there pondering what Beth had just said.
(Confessional -Beth)
"Randy can say that none of us mean anything to him, but you can tell just by the way he acts around us...we do" Beth started "I've know people like that before, they act all tough and say they don't need people, but in reality they do" she continued "I'll openly admit that I've become more close to some of the people than I am to friends of mine from back home, so I'm not just going to forget about them like Randy is claiming he's going to do" and finished.
(Switch to -Randy)
"Again, I don't see why everyone is so obsessed with me not wanting to be bothered when this season is over" Randy started "I said it before, I didn't come here to make friends, I came here to win...Katy, Brent, Cheek, Max, and whoever else has competed came for the same reason...not to purposely start relationships and friendships" he continued "And everyone should understand where I'm coming from" he finished.
(Confessional End)
"Randy, will you at least tell me the real reason you don't want anyone to bother you?" Beth asked, Randy shook his head once, before looking back down towards his plate.
"I told you why" He muttered before taking another bite of his food, Beth still wasn't buying it.
"Why are yo-" She started before being cut off
"Gooooooddddd morning, finalists!" Marionette exclaimed as he burst through the door "Are you ready for the one hundred million dollar final challenge?!" He asked, Randy ignored him as he continued eating, Beth just looked at him "Cooommmmeeee on! Give me something! It's the final challenge! There's a hundred million dollars on the line here!" He whined
"I'm more excited about not having to listen to your whiny, nasally voice or see your goofy painted face anymore" Randy said to the unamusement of Marionette
"My voice is not nasally, you trash panda" He said
"Trash panda? Really?" Randy said curiously "That's the best you could come up with?" He asked
"What? My writers quit, I had to improvise" Marionette replied "Trash panda is a good insult" he continued
"No, no it's not" Randy said
"W-whatever!" Marionette exclaimed "Lets just get on to the explaining the challenge part" he continued "Todays challenge to determine our one hundred million dollar winner, is going to be based off of the movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark" he finished
"Knew it" Randy said, Beth gave him a confused look "There was a whip, a hat, and a bag of sand on my dresser" he explained
"Really? There wasn't anything on mine" Beth said
"What?" Marionette said curiously "Dang it, Flitz" he muttered "Uh...we'll get you yours" he said, Beth nodded
"So with the bag of sand I'm assuming the challenge is going to be going into a temple to get an idol, right?" Randy said curiously, Marionette nodded
"Correct" He replied "But just like in the movie, there will be booby-traps galore!" He continued, Randy rolled his eyes
"Figured as much" He said in and uninterested tone before taking another bite of his breakfast
"But, what makes this challenge even more interesting is there is only one idol" Marionette said, that got Beth and Randy's full attention "So that means you really are going to have to fight for that money!" He continued
(Confessional -Randy)
Randy grinned as he sat in front of the camera...
"Well, this just got interesting" Randy said
(Confessional End)
"So, what you're saying is, we have to race each other through a booby-trapped temple and fight each other for a single idol to win the challenge?" Beth asked
"Sorta" Marionette replied
"What do you mean "sorta" ?" Randy asked
"Well, after one of you retrieves the idol, you have to race back out of the temple and to the marked finish line" Marionette replied "So whoever makes it to the finish line with the idol wins" he continued
"So it doesn't even matter who makes it out of the temple with the idol because there's still a possibility that they'll end up losing anyways?" Beth said curiously, Marionette nodded
"Yep, pretty much" He said, Beth and Randy glanced at each other "So, how about we get this started because-" he continued before stopping and glancing at his watch "-I have a plane to catch in an hour" he finished
"Where ya headed? The island of misfit toys?" Randy asked
"You just never run out of jokes do you?" Marionette said curiously, Randy shrugged
"When it comes to you, they write themselves" He replied
"You're very immature" Marionette said
"And you're very goofy" Randy replied
"Enough bickering, get on with it" Beth said
"I'm done explaining things, I'm waiting for you two" Marionette said
"Ok then, lets go" Randy said as he stood up from the table "Tell me where the temple is and lets get this challenge over with so I can go cash that check before the bank closes" he continued as he walked towards this door.
"Don't get your hopes up, sweetheart" Beth said as she stood up "I'm going to be the one cashing that check" she continued as she walked passed both him and Marionette, only stopping when she realized they weren't following her "Lets go ladies, I have a hundred mill to win" she finished as she walked out of the dining hall.
Marionette and Randy looked at each other, Randy snickered and shook his head as he walked out of the room, next.
"This is going to fun to watch" Marionette said to himself.
(Outside of the Temple)
Marionette had led Randy and Beth to the temple set that the final challenge was going to take place in. It looked just like it did in the actual movie, from the bunches of vines surrounding the entrance and even the stone engraved heads around it.
Randy and Beth were still shocked that they could afford sets like this for one challenge, but couldn't afford to get them pillows that didn't feel like they were laying their heads on a giant brick.
"Alrighty, finalists, inside this temple is the key to what's about to make one of you a millionaire!" Marionette exclaimed "It's not going to come easy though. In order to obtain the idol you must maneuver yourself around precisely placed and well hidden booby traps like spikes, pits, spears, and maybe a few other surprises thrown in" he continued with a grin on his face.
"What? Let me guess, the temple collapses and a giant boulder chases us, right?" Randy asked sarcastically, Marionettes grin completely vanished from his face.
"No no, of course not" He replied "You both have your equipment-" He was saying before being cut off
"No I don't" Beth said, Marionette rolled his eyes
"Frink!" He exclaimed, Fritz walked up completely annoyed
"Yeah yeah, I know" He said as he handed Beth her stuff before once again walking off.
"Ok, now you both have all of your equipment and the finish line is marked, I have to go pack, good luck" he continued before hurriedly running off towards his trailer.
Beth and Randy looked at each other as he did...
"Look, Damien!" Randy exclaimed as he pointed behind Beth
"Where?!" Beth exclaimed as she turned around, once she did Randy took off running into the temple, almost losing the brown hat he was wearing as he did.
Beth turned back to where Randy was, but the only thing she saw was the dust cloud leading into the temple.
"Randy!" She yelled as she took off running into the temple.
(With Randy)
Randy had run into the temple and the first thing he did was step on a trap floor panel causing a spear to shoot out of the wall, just barley missing him.
Randy stopped dead in his tracks and went wide eyed as he looked at the spear now sticking out of the wall.
"Randy!" He heard Beth yell, causing him to once again get moving, but this time more carefully than before.
As he progressed further and further into the temple the darker it got, eventually it got to the point where he could barley see what was ahead of him.
When it finally got to where he couldn't see anything, he was hoping any kind of light would shine through, and eventually one did.
He let a small smile form on his face as he approached it, but then he stopped, he remembered what that meant in the movie.
"I'm not losing my head today" He said as he ducked into the darkness and quickly made his way passed the light, once he was on the other side he stood back up and continued on his way.
(With Beth)
Beth was on her way into the darker portion of the temple, she had to push her way through a large spiderweb that Randy had somehow managed to avoid.
After she passed through the web she kept feeling as if something was crawling on her, she didn't know what it was but she kept trying to smack it off of herself.
Eventually, after she stopped feeling crawling on herself, she made it to the portion of the temple where it got so dark she could barley see in front of here.
Just like Randy did, she smiled when she saw the light, she quickly started making her way towards it.
She had just barley stepped into the light when a giant blade came swinging out of the wall, it came with about half an inch from her.
Beth let out a loud, shocked scream, before standing there in shock as the blade finally came to a stop just off to the side of her.
(Confessional -Beth)
"A blade almost killed me!" Beth exclaimed "I'm starting to question on rather the chance at winning this money is worth it" she continued "I mean, I'm obviously going to go on, because I don't quit. But still" she finished.
(Confessional End)
(With Randy)
Randy had heard Beth's loud scream, he didn't know what had happened but figured he had already made it too far into the temple to go back now.
"Hope she's alright" He muttered to himself before continuing on his way.
As he continued on his way through the temple, a glow started getting brighter and brighter, and he knew what that meant.
He had to swipe a few more spiderwebs out of the way, but Randy eventually made it to the large drop in the floor.
Just on the other side of the drop was a set of torches hanging on the wall, thats where the glow had been coming from.
Randy looked down the hole, figuring it couldn't have been that far of a drop considering the temple itself was just a set.
He picked up a rock off of the ground and dropped it down the hole expecting it to hit the ground within seconds, but that's not what he got. The rock disappeared down the dark hole and nothing else was heard of it.
"How the *bleep*?" Randy said in surprise "It's a fricken movie set, not a real temple" he continued before shaking his head and looking back over to the other side "Here we go" he said before pulling out the whip he had strapped to his belt.
As he was getting ready to throw his whip towards the branch hanging out of the wall above the hole he heard quick footsteps behind him...
"There you are!" Beth exclaimed as she walked up, Randy turned around to look at her, she was covered in spiderwebs, dirt, and her fur was all over the place
"What happened to you?" He said curiously
"This ridiculous temple, that's what happened to me" Beth replied in a very annoyed tone
"Well, that sucks, but I have to go" Randy said before throwing the whip around the branch and swinging across, as he did, the branch loosened up and started coming out of the wall.
Randy landed in a crouching position on the other side before quickly standing up...
"Hey, I'll buy you a new brush when I win" Randy said irritating the already irritated Beth even more.
Randy moved ahead and finally saw the idol resting on the pedestal at the back of the room, he sighed in relief before slowing stepping towards the idol.
As he stepped onto the checkered stone floor, a small spear shot out of the wall to the right of him and nailed the top of his hat.
Randy stopped walking as his eyes slowly looked up at his hat...
(Confessional -Randy)
"Well, that could have been really bad" Randy started as he looked at the spear that was wedge into his hat.
(Confessional End)
Randy looked back down at the floor and saw all of the designs on them, he remembered from the movie, the darker ones were traps, the lighter ones were not.
He carefully started moving from tile to tile, making sure he was only stepping on the lighter tiles.
A few very carful steps later, Randy had finally reached the small staircase leading to the idol.
He quickly made his way up the steps and to the idol, he unhooked the bag of sand from his belt, even though he knew it was useless.
He lifted the bag up in one hand and slowly moved his other to the idol, in one quickly motion he lifted the idol and sat the bag down where the idol had been.
He looked at the idol before turning to walk back down the stairs, as he did he heard a noise behind him.
The pedestal the idol had been on started lowing itself into the ground and the temple started shaking, Randy shook his head before jumping down the steps and rushing back across the tiled floor, dodging flying spears as he did.
He went to pick up his whip from the ground, but before he could get to it the shaking of the temple caused it to fall backwards down the large hole in the floor.
"Crap!" Randy exclaimed before looking across to the other side at Beth
"Throw me the idol!" Beth exclaimed
"What, no!" Randy replied "I've seen this movie, do you think I'm stupid?" He asked
"No, but if you want to win and don't want to die doing it, you don't have a choice!" Beth replied, Randy knew that she was right and that he really didn't have any other options at that moment.
"If I throw you this, you throw me the whip!" Randy replied, Beth nodded as she unhooked her whip from her belt
"Throw it!" Beth exclaimed, Randy nodded before looking at the idol once more
"Don't make me regret this!" He exclaimed before tossing Beth the idol, she caught it and smiled "Now throw me the whip!" He continued, Beth nodded before tossing her whip across to Randy.
"See you at the finish line!" Beth exclaimed before taking off running back the way she came, Randy shook his head before throwing the whip towards the branch.
He went to swing across, as he did the branch broke and Randy fell, just barley able to grab onto the side of the ground as he dangled in the deep dark pit.
"Ahh!" He exclaimed as he held on, he looked ahead as a giant stone door started lowering, blocking off the entrance and exit.
Randy was struggling to hang on, he was trying to pull himself up, but kept sliding backwards.
He was not only having to keep himself from falling, he was having to avoid the rubble breaking off of the ceiling.
He finally saw a long weed sticking out of the floor, he grabbed ahold of it and started pulling himself up. As he was finally about to pull himself the rest of the way up, the weed he was holding onto started coming out of the ground. Randy started to slide back down the hole, but he was lucky enough to be close enough up that he was able to climb back onto the ground.
He didn't have time to celebrate though seeing as how Beth was on her way to finish line.
Randy got up, ran, and slid underneath the door just before it slammed down on the floor.
He quickly pulled himself up and started running again, as he ran he heard a giant crash behind him...
He turned around and looked to see what it was, only to see a giant bolder rolling towards him.
"Ahhh!" He yelled as he raced towards the exit.
Beth had heard Randy's scream, but didn't know that there was a giant bolder chasing them.
She had managed to make it out of the collapsing temple and started running in the direction of where the finish line was.
Randy was still being chased by the bolder, he had stumbled and almost tripped on two separate occasions, but had managed to.
He could finally see the outside light in the distance, he picked up his pace and when he was finally close enough, he dove out of the temple and landed on his stomach on the ground as the bolder slammed against the entrance to the temple, blocking it off.
Randy climbed to his feet and started running in the direction that Beth ran in.
Beth was running towards the door marked with the sign that has "Finish Line Inside" written on it, Randy was chasing after her.
He wasn't happy with the way she took the idol from him...
"Get back here!" Randy yelled
"You can have it back...AFTER I win!" Beth replied, Randy growled as he tried to pick up his pace.
Beth was so close to the door at this point, she could taste the money. She glanced back and saw Randy gaining on her.
(Confessional -Beth)
"My heart has never raced so much in my entire life!" Beth exclaimed "I am so close to winning a hundred million dollars that I can feel it!" She continued "But Randy...he's fast when you're trying to take a hundred million dollars from him" she finished.
(Switch to -Randy)
"I didn't come this far just to lose" Randy started "Beth fought hard, I'll give her that" he continued "But she is NOT taking a hundred million dollars from me!" He finished.
(Confessional End)
Beth once again glanced back and saw the determined look in Randy's eyes to get the idol from her.
Beth shook her head she turned back towards the door, as she closed in on it she stuck her arm out and grabbed the handle, pulling it open.
Before she could run into the building though, Randy flew up behind her and tried to snatch the idol out of her hand...
"Let it go!" Randy exclaimed
"No! It's mine!" Beth exclaimed, they continued to try and pull it away from each other.
"I jumped across a pit to get it!" Randy exclaimed
"I don't care!" Beth exclaimed "Now let go!" She continued
"No!" Randy exclaimed.
The two continued trying to yank it out of each others hands until finally Randy had managed to get it out of Beth's grip, but unfortunately for both of them, as Randy yanked it, the idol flew out of his hands and smashed onto the floor a few feet in front of them.
Both Randy and Beth went wide eyed as they stared at the now broken idol...
"You broke it!" Both Beth and Randy yelled at each other
"We weren't expecting that" A voice said causing Randy and Beth to look up, they looked up to an audience of people staring at them with shocked faces.
They were in a studio...
"What's going on?" Beth said curiously as she looked towards the stage that was filled with former competitors.
"Well, Beth, Randy, welcome to Total Drama Showdown Aftermath!" Clyde exclaimed.
(Vote: So I was thinking about doing a spin off series of one shot chapters about the characters from the story, but I don't know if I should base it off of what they were doing before Total Drama Fazbear, or what they're up to after Total Drama Showdown? So which would you guys be more interested in?)
Alright, now originally I had planned on making this the final chapter and have the winner determined at the end of the challenge. But after some thought I decided to extended it and combine one last Aftermath show with it and make it a super chapter, if you will. But I just could not finish a thirteen or fourteen thousand word chapter in a week, with my schedule. So instead the finale is going to be the first two-part chapter in the series.
So, I hope you aren't too made about it...haha. But hey, look at it this way, it gives the story an extra unplanned chapter!
So I guess I'll see you next week for the ACTUAL finale!
