Chapter 55: Race Back to the Studios

Even as those who thought it would be another Aftermath, the camera instead turns toward Chris McLean who'd provide a recap to the audience instead.

Chris McLean's commentary:

Thought you were going to see another Aftermath? Well, that'd be saved for the last one after this challenge. Since we only have two contestants left here on Camp Drama Showdown, after their three day trek through the desert to find John Redcorn, in spite of Cleveland Jr. losing his own supplies by Edmund, a certain guardian angel turned the tables on the vampire, making it a turn for the worse for him.

Since he was out of energy and out of breath, he also got onto the Carriage of Shame home. So sit back, relax and get ready for the final challenge here on Camp Drama Showdown with the final two!

End commentary.

Although Chris was right to say Edmund had gotten onto the Carriage of Shame, he wasn't right that Edmund was at the studios where the other contestants whom were voted off. Instead the crafty vampire whose father had bribed Grim was able to keep him in a secret location within the studios.

"That Cleveland Jr. and June will pay, it's going to be me who's going to get the 25 million bucks" said Edmund.

"Say Mr. Grim Reaper, what kind of ways are we going to get around the last challenge, I took a peak at it, it's supposed to be a race around the town back to the studios" said Count Dracula.

"I just have the thing for you" said Grim.

Grim took his scythe and opened up a portal revealing two skeleton horses from the underworld.

"I'd like to meet your horses that you'll use to get ahead from Cleveland Jr. and June" continued Grim, "they are the fastest horses."

"Ha, we're certainly to win it" laughed Edmund.

Sadly the two contestants along with Chris and Blaineley were unaware that Edmund and Count Dracula were plotting to run the challenge themselves. Chef got Cleveland Jr. and June up to which they were served first class meals by Colonel Barnes.

"And you said my cooking was worse than his" said Colonel Barnes.

"Wow, this looks great!" laughed Cleveland Jr.

"You're going to need a full tummy to win this one" added Chef.

But as the two contestants dined on their breakfast, a certain Cotton was being visited by Clockwork to check on his progress. Clockwork wasn't pleased that Cotton had stolen Edmund's umbrella in spite of Edmund being no different.

"Very disappointing to see you do something like that" said Clockwork.

"Look, I did it for a good reason, the vampire boy is a bad seed, he needed to be taught a lesson" continued Cotton.

"I'll wait for the final challenge to determine if your actions are correct" continued Clockwork, "we'll be watching the challenge above while obviously invisible."

"Good, bring your Overseer friends with you" continued Cotton, "I want them to watch how nasty that vampire kid is."

"Will do" continued Clockwork.

While Cotton was hoping this would get him a chance to go to heaven and redeem himself from his life of sin, the two contestants were very much excited to get this over with.

Confessions in the Saloon:

"Wow, never thought I could get this far, I think I could actually get the 25 million dollars" said Cleveland Jr.

"That vampire boy is finally gone, what a relief!" laughed June.

End of confessions.

After the first class breakfast was finished, Cleveland Jr. and June went to where Chris and Blaineley were located to which a limo was also there with Vlad Masters in it along with Jessie, the Xiaolin monks, Hank and John Redcorn, there were also two robotic horses there as well.

"The last and final challenge of Camp Drama Showdown" laughed Chris, "is a race around the town, and also following the flags that we carefully placed throughout the desert that leads you back to the studios."

"We also added a few surprises along the way to make things interesting" added Blaineley.

"So be very careful" continued Chris.

Chris and Blaineley ended up getting in the limo where it took off heading obviously for the studios.

"Looks like this is it" said Cleveland Jr. as he got onto his robotic horse.

"Yea, seems like that" added June.

"May the better contestant win" said Cleveland Jr.

"You got it" added June.

As the two began to start the race as the cameras were rolling, Edmund and Count Dracula whom were on their skeleton horses were waiting for the right signal.

"Let's surprise them" laughed Edmund.

"Right behind you" laughed Count Dracula, "that twenty-four hour sun block the Grim Reaper both gave us really works."

As the two vampires literally got into the race, they typically were in first place.

"No way, how the heck is Edmund still here, I thought he got tossed out of the game?" cried June.

"No matter, we can beat them" said Cleveland Jr.

"See you losers at the studios with me having the 25 million bucks!" laughed Edmund.

But as Edmund and his father were leaping one set of obstacles, several catapults were set off launching Muriel's own special pies that were filled with vinegar.

"Yuck, what's that awful taste, it's worse than garlic!" cried Count Dracula who tried to get the pies off of himself.

"Great, they're catching up!" cried Edmund.

As the two vampires turned another corner, they ran into some scorpions that were literally placed on the ground by members of the Total Drama alumni to which the two vampires were in a bit of pain but could be able to continue.

"I just cannot believe this?" cried Count Dracula.

The two vampires continued to be ahead in spite of running into two traps, they ended up running into some spider webs that were made by black widow spiders.

"Black widow spiders!" cried Edmund who tried to get them off.

"That's it, Chris McLean is officially more of a monster than me!" cried Count Dracula who was also trying to get rid of the spiders.

But in spite of that obvious trap, the two vampires continued onward, suddenly a catapult sprang a few pieces of meat onto the two vampires.

"Say what kind of a trap is this?" asked Count Dracula.

Suddenly the two vampires heard the growls of some hungry coyotes along with Ezekial.

"Run, run, run!" cried Count Dracula to Edmund.

As the two were trying to out run the hungry coyotes and Ezekial, June and Cleveland Jr. were indeed passing the two vampires.

"They're passing us dad!" cried Edmund.

"Get rid of the meat first!" cried Count Dracula.

The two vampires along with the two other contestants were indeed being followed by Grim on the Carriage of Shame who was rather enjoying the mayhem of the two vampires.

Confessions in the Outhouse:

"Boy those two vampires are getting what they deserved, if only poor Billy could fall into the same traps, that would be a laugh riot too" laughed Grim.

"Ha, I was right all along that vampire boy is a cheater!" laughed Cotton.

End of confessions.

Indeed the two vampires continued to fall into trap, after trap, after trap in spite of catching up to the two contestants. Clockwork who was watching the race with Cotton was intrigued that perhaps Cotton's actions in the last challenge proved to be true about Edmund.

"I must say, I was wrong about your actions" continued Clockwork.

"As both of us as well" said one of the Overseers.

"When everything is finished let's hope Edmund learns his lesson and hopefully becomes good on your part in the next season" continued Clockwork.

"That would be a reasonable outcome" said Cotton.

The two contestants were finally again passed the two vampires as they passed a check point that was supposed to be a rock slide. Duncan along with Eva who were working with the demolition didn't setup the timer right.

"That's just great, Chris isn't going to be happy they weren't crushed by rocks" said Eva.

"Hey, but we can use it on the two cheating vampires coming this way instead" laughed Duncan.

"Works for me" laughed Eva.

Indeed, as the two setup a demolition they exploded some dynamite which made the rocks tumble down just as the two vampires were coming in harm's way.

"Avalanche!" cried Count Dracula.

"No time, we have to continue!" cried Edmund.

Indeed both vampires got hit by a number of rocks that were tumbling down as they came across the canyon area, meanwhile, Alejandro and Heather who were working on demolition in causing a massive flood ignited some TNT destroying a large water reservoir that was brought in for the last final challenge which began to flood the canyon. Cleveland Jr. and June were far ahead from the disaster but the two vampires who just escaped some falling rocks were not.

"This is just not our day!" cried Count Dracula.

"Faster, faster, fast!" cried Edmund to the skeleton horses.

But the two vampires were indeed swept off by the currents to which they had to continue on foot while June and Cleveland Jr. who indeed crossed into the studios at the same time made it where Chris and Blaineley were located along with the others. Poor Edmund and Count Dracula were soaking wet as they came into the studios.

"Forget it son, let's just let one of these two get the grand prize" continued Count Dracula who was rather tired, "it's not worth it."

"Dad, maybe you might be right about this" continued Edmund which members of the audience were shocked by Edmund trying to redeem himself.

"So, did either you two see who came first?" asked Blaineley to the two vampires.

"We just came in, we didn't see neither of these two enter" added Count Dracula.

"Well then, that is what the last Aftermath will be used for, to determine the winners of Camp Drama Showdown, and prevent a disaster like what happened with season two of my Total Drama series" continued Chris.

"Good" said Jorgen, "because our four guests have been causing some technical delays anyway where I have to be the one to stop them from fighting each other."

Indeed although it wasn't a hundred percent over for Camp Drama Showdown just about yet, it was going to be over for a certain Cotton Hill who was rightfully redeemed from his sins during his life.

"I must say" said Clockwork as a door opening up to heaven was being shown Cotton's way, "you deserve this."

"It has been my pleasure helping out others" said Cotton.

"I know it has, I just hope you touched heart with your family members too" said Clockwork.

As Cotton said goodbye to Clockwork as he opened up the door to heaven, meanwhile in the studios, Jorgen wasn't happy with the four candidates that were going to be for season five. He had to separate Mickey Mouse from his brother Oswald, along with ensuring Bugs Bunny's friend Daffy, likewise doing the same with Donald with Mickey whom he had been fighting with, along with also making sure the Phantom Blot wouldn't cause trouble with Mickey either.

"Listen up" said Jorgen, "I don't care what your arguments were in the bar, but this ends now!"

"Hey, I'm not the villain this time" said the Phantom Blot.

"Just pipe down and sit back before Chris let's you come on stage" continued Jorgen.

Indeed Chris was very hopeful season four would end to begin season five soon enough to which the camera turns back to Chris.

"With the last challenge done, it's time to soon determine who'll be the winner of this season, so find out more here on Camp Drama Showdown Aftermath!" laughed Chris.
