DISCLAIMER:

Chapter 25 released, from now on we are in terra ignota, so I hope I can make the journey interesting, I hope you enjoy the chapter.

And if you feel like it, mark the story as a favorite or tell me your thoughts in a review, so I can know what you like and what you hate about it, now let me reply to the last chapter reviews.

M: Yep, I' sorry for Brody and Geoff, but this time they will have to sit on the peanut gallery and enjoy the show.

wacky620: Honestly I didn't feel confident to change the story too much, maybe I should (especially with Owen and Noah), anyway here it is the first divergence, I hope it was at thrilling.

MissFarah: The scene was structured to make you wonder about Trent fate until the last moment, I am glad you like it.

Aoi Usa: I have to apologize to Trent, but I wanted to make the part more in tone with the comedy of the series, and I think a(nother) groin hit was a good exchange for an almost deadly fall. And yes, I think originally exchange the Drama team with surfers (or even Reality TV pros) and focus in them at the last episode, but that now is just a what-if.

Total Drama belongs to Fresh TV and his creators. I don't own anything from the properties used in this fic


Bahamarama

Previously on The Ridonculous Race the final four hit Argentina, The Sisters got targeted but were saved by the non-elimination bell and Gwen and Trent confess their feelings and are ready to finally focus on the race, it was about time, at least until Trent fell off a mountain, fortunately, he escapes unharmed, well almost.

The Ice Dancers, the Police Cadets, the Drama Team, the Sisters, these final four teams have battled in 21 countries and crossed a hundred and eleven time zones so far, now the real challenge begins, from this moment on it's a non-stop race to the finish line, teams who slowdown will get left behind.

Welcome to part 1 of the grand finale of the most stupendous television show ever, this is The Ridonculous Race.

Yesterday Chill Zone is today Starting Point, and the final four teams are ready to begin the last leg, they will go out in the order they finished yesterday, first Ice Dancers, then Police Cadets, The Drama Team and lastly The Sisters.

"This is the end, the final challenge," says Trent smiling and looking toward the Don Box, waiting to start.

"Yes, when you invite me to participate in this, I only thought about escaping Total Drama, not even in my dreams I thought we will come this far," Gwen folds her arms and smirk.

"What are you saying? It's not only this far, but we will also go all the way and win the million," Trent makes his trademark smile and looks at her.

"Of course, we will. I already get a 2nd and a 4th place on reality shows. This time Gwen will get her 1st place, once and for all," the goth smile as the challenge starts, from now on, it's a full race without rest.

Gwen pushes the Don Box top Button and reads aloud, "Go to the airport and book 2 seats for Lynden Pindling International Airport, in Nassau, Bahamas, where you will find the next Don Box. Bahamas, that's great, more heat," she adds rolling her eyes.

"You say I am too optimist, but you always found something bad to say about the travel tips," Trent tells her, smirking.

"What can I say? It's one of my charm points," Gwen shrugs, and both take the taxi to the airport.


The 4 teams get tickets on the same flight, it takes 11 hours to reach Nassau from Buenos Aires. As they arrive at the airport, the teams run toward the Don box, this time the machine was dressed as a pirate.

"Usually, I hate how they spend money dressing this thing, but the pirate outfit is actually cute," says Gwen as she presses the button at the top of the machine while Trent chuckles.

"All-in: Arr, Matey!" Gwen reads the travel tip aloud again, "this way is treasure maps. Take a Cab to the Nassau Pirate Museum and search among the treasure maps on display for one of the RR Treasure maps, once you find it, take one of the jet-skis and go to the coast of Abaco Island where the Don box with your next trip awaits. Ok matey, Let's find some treasure."

"Hehehe, you sound just like a pirate. If the art business doesn't work, maybe you can look into the theater," Gwen answers Trent's comment by sticking out her tongue.

The team arrives second to the Pirate museum after the Police Cadets, and as soon as they go into the room, they discover why this was part of the final challenge.

The treasure map display is huge, there are hundreds of maps distributed around all the room, some on display, some in boxes, some in barrels, and between that maps were only 4 RR maps hidden, it was like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Trent began to look in the maps on one of the barrels next to the door, Gwen instead was observing the room, there was to be some hint in the items on the exhibition that could help her find the RR map, but she can't find it. Soon the 8 members of the final teams were looking for the maps all around the room.

"Got one!" shouts Kitty with a map in her hand.

"Good job," congratulates Emma.

"Goodbye Ice duncers," says Kitty to the Ice dancers as both sisters go out toward Abaco Island.

The Ice Dancers were furious by the sister's mockery and began to search frenetically for the remaining maps. Trent and the Police Cadets were searching in the boxes and barrels as well, but Gwen instead smiles, because she watched how Kitty found her map.

Kitty wasn't searching in the barrels where the maps were stored, the one looking there was Emma, she was looking to the maps displayed on the wall. So Gwen decides to do the same and check behind the maps and after a moment, bingo!.

"Trent! I got the map!" shout the Gwen excitedly, then both run to the door.

"Good luck winning bronze again, Ice Dancers," Gwen said as both go out toward the jet skis, as Josee groaned and protested again furiously. It was easy for Gwen to understand why MacArthur and Kitty enjoy taunting her, her reactions were fun and satisfying.


As soon as The Drama Team goes out of the museum, there were some wooden changing rooms, Trent change into his red swimming shorts, and Gwen into her black bikini.

The musician jumps into the jet ski "Well, let's catch up with Kitty's team," he said, turning on the engine.

Gwen hugs him, "just drive carefuuuuul…" as soon as the goth had firmly gripped her arms around Trent, the musician speed up the jet ski as fast as he could, jumping on the waves, Gwen screaming all the way until they reach the platform where the next Don Box (and Emma) were standing.

Gwen gets out of the jet ski staggering and then looks daggers at Trent, that was smiling nervously.

"Good work reaching here quickly, next time try to not kill me along the way," she protested and walks toward the Don Box.

"Sorry, Gwen," Trent apologies rubbing her neck.

Gwen was about to press the button when she was startled by a shout.

"DON'T PUSH IT, let Trent take the tip," Emma shouts.

Trent and Gwen look at her with wide eyes and puzzled expression, Emma then explains to them what does she mean.

"The challenge is a random Botch or Watch. It will be easier for Trent to do it," Emma tells them, frowning.

"Why are you helping us?" asks Gwen, not sure if she could trust the big sister.

Emma shrug, "I don't know, maybe because we are allies," she says nonchalantly, but actually, she wanted to help them as an apology for her sister pushing Trent down the mountain in Argentina.

Trent pushes the Don Box and takes the travel tip from it, reading it aloud, "Random Botch or Watch, Dive to Survive: Whoever is holding this tip must search for sunken treasure in an underground cave. Equip the oxygen tank and use your map and flashlight to navigate the tunnels and find the gold doubloons, once you find them swim back the platform, race to the shore with your jet ski and run along the beach to the midpoint Chill Zone."

Gwen put a set of headphones to communicate with her partner "Ok Trent, is all yours,"

"Kitty hurry, Trent is coming," shout Emma to the microphone.

Trent put the helmet and the Oxygen tank and jump into the water, swimming fast to the cave.

"I am at the entrance, is really cramp and sinister down here," says Trent as he enters the cave.

"Well, now I must thank that I didn't have to go down there, we would be out of the race," Gwen replies.

"I am sure you would do it anyway, maybe a bit slower, but you would fight your fear and complete the challenge," he swims faster and smile while navigating the cavern.

"More gold finding and less optimism please," Gwen said in her snarky tone, "the bronze streakers are already here, Josee is going down."

"The cave is pretty dark, it's hard to navigate, I hope I don't get lost here," explains Trent as he tries to find the chamber with the treasure

Suddenly a high pitch sound hurt the musician's ears.

"What is that, are you stepping on a cat or something?" Trent winces in pain after hearing that shriek.

"No, is Josee screaming, the sound is coming from Jacques' headphones, the witch has strong lungs," says Gwen rolling her eyes. "Also, the Police Cadets are already here, MacArthur is diving."

"Well, no problem, we are still ahead," Trent answers as he keeps swimming.

Meanwhile, Kitty was already in the chamber looking for the treasure, until she lights the chest with the golden doubloons.

"Yahoo! I found the treasure," she shouts, swimming toward the chest.

"Yes, I knew you can do it," praise her Emma, while Jacques, Sanders, and Gwen frown.

Kitty goes and takes some coins in her bag as she tells herself, "First place all the way."

But then an Angler fish swim toward her, the horrible appearance of the fish frighten Kitty. As she screams, she drops her flashlight, which is swiftly devoured by the fish.

"No, no, no, no, no," yells Kitty at the fish as she grabs it, "gimme back my flashlight."

"Kit, what is it?" asks Emma, worried.

"I am being dragged away by a fish," she says as the angler fish go out to another passage in the cave, away from the exit.

Just as Kitty is dragged out of the chamber, the musician enters it.

"Trent, how are you?" says Gwen.

"I am already in the chamber, looking for the treasure," Trent lights up the chamber and found the chest with the doubloons

"Emma asks me if you see Kitty," said the goth, Trent hearing the sound of Emma's voice in the background.

"No, I don't see her, something happened?" Trent answers while taking the coins into the bag.

"It looks like she was dragged away by some fish," explains Gwen, as Trent hears Emma tone, he couldn't understand her, but she was worried, saying something, then Gwen talks again, "give me a second, I will talk with Emma."

"Ok, I'm going back," said Trent as he makes his way out of the cave.

Gwen, cover her microphone and looks toward Emma. She sighs as she knows she shouldn't ask, "what happened?"

"Kitty is stuck on the other side of the cave, and she can't move," answers Emma with and anguish expression, Gwen can hear Kitty crying from Emma's headphones.

The goth takes a deep breath and put on her headphones.

"Did you hear that?" asks Gwen with a resigned tone.

"Yes, I am already outside the cave, going around it," replies Trent.

"I know what you are thinking," continues Gwen, "If you do it, we may lose."

"We cannot leave her there, what if she runs out of air?" Trent replies.

"It's a TV show. They would not leave her to die," said Gwen, but she already knows what will be his answer.

"But they help us with the travel tip," Trent swims as fast as he can, looking for any signal of Kitty.

"How much oxygen you have left?" asks Gwen.

"The display mark 45%."

"You have until it goes to 5%. If you didn't find Kitty by then, you came up," says Gwen smirking, Trent was too kind-hearted, but it was one of the things she loved about him.

"Thanks, Gwen," he replies, focusing on searching the younger of The Sisters.

Trent swims in the warm waters, using the map as a rough guide for where should be Kitty stuck. Then he sees some bubbles raising, hurrying up at the origin, he founds Kitty. He can see her head and shoulders, the rest of her body still in the cave, her eyes go wide when she sees Trent.

"Why are you here?" says Kitty flabbergasted, but Trent cannot hear her.

"Kitty, what happened?" asks Emma.

"Trent is swimming just in front of me, he is lending me his oxygen tank," the younger of the sisters says, excited.

"What are you doing?" Emma turns and asks Gwen, the goth folding her arms and with a small smile on her face.

"Finding new ways to lose a million dollars," Gwen answers with a snarky tone, as she makes an honest smile to the older sister.

"Emma, I will ditch my oxygen tank and use Trent's to swim to the surface," tells Kitty to her big sister.

"Be careful," Emma answers and turns toward Gwen, "Thank you."

Gwen shrugs, "Don't worry, we are allies after all."

Kitty takes off her oxygen tank and goes out of the cave where Trent is waiting, sharing his oxygen with her. They emerge pretty quickly, as both are strong swimmers.

"Oh Kitty, thank goodness," exclaims Emma as she helps Kitty out of the water, and then hugs her.

"Well done hero, now hurry, we still have a race to win," Gwen tells Trent as she helps him out of the water.

As he goes out of the water, to his surprise, Sanders and Jacques are still there. Kitty stands next to the musician.

"Trent, thanks, I-" but before Kitty could hug Trent, Gwen dragged him to their jet ski.

"You can thank me later," shouts Trent as he starts the Jet Ski, Gwen hugging him as he speeds up toward de mid-Chill Zone.

Emma rides their jet ski and put it next to Kitty, "They are right, jump, we have a million to win," Kitty jumps on the jet ski and hugs Emma as she speeds up to the coast.

"Then tell me, what happened while I was down there?" asks Trent while driving.

"It seems you are not the only one who has a loose screw," Gwen answers with a smirk "MacArthur of the Cadets stops to help Josee that was stuck in the cave."

"Really? MacArthur stop to help that woman?" asks Trent, surprised.

"Don't act surprised, you would help her too. Even if it was that Josee," said Gwen, knowing Trent very well.

Trent smiled and shrugged, "It's what any normal person would do."

Gwen smiles and hug him tighter, because she knew Trent was a normal person, but also knew that what he and MacArthur did was anything but normal.

Trent drives faster and the Drama Team touch land before the Sisters, both teams change their swimsuit quickly, being the Sisters a little faster than Gwen, so they lose some of their lead in the race, but Trent and Gwen still were going for the first place.

Don was witnessing the race on the carpet of completion smiling, the zone was on the beach surrounded by palm trees. The host watches closely as the 2 teams race on foot until the mid-Chill Zone. The Sisters being quicker than Gwen and Trent, but in the end, they couldn't pass them.

"Trent and Gwen, congratulations you are in first, Kitty and Emma, you are second," The four of them cheered, but the celebration was short-lived.

Don takes out two travel tips and gives them to Emma and Gwen, "Here are your next travel tips, so now, go."

"Take the water taxi to Lynden Pindling International Airport and take the next flight to JFK airport in New York, where you will found the next Don Box," Gwen reads aloud, her eyes went wide "New York again, really? For the final?"

"Well at least it's not your first time, we have an advantage," Trent smile mockingly at her.

"If climbing the Statue of Liberty, running in the sewers from alligators and racing with babies in central park give us any kind of advantage, then yes, we have it in the bag. And if that happens, I will eat my words and recognize that participating in Total Drama World Tour was a great experience," she says snarky, stomping her foot.

"This time you were the smartass," Trent winks. Then the 2 teams go into the water taxi to the airport.

"Now, can I?" Kitty, with her arms on her hips, looks at Emma and Gwen, both of the girls nodding.

Kitty jump and hugs Trent, "thank you, thank you, thank you, oh thank you. You don't know how distressing was being trapped there."

"Don't worry about it, we are friends," Trent makes his trademark smile and adds, "But don't let us win the million, let's compete fair and square."

"Don't worry, we didn't plan to," says Emma.

"Then let's officially end our alliance, from now on, may the best team win," Gwen says looking at the sisters, with Trent at her side.

"Before we end the alliance, let's take a selfie to commemorate it," Kitty takes her phone and pushes the four in an impromptu photo.

"Good Luck The Sisters," says Trent smiling.

"Good Luck Drama Team," says Emma, Gwen only smirk because still under these circumstances she hates that name.


The teams arrived at the airport and bought the plane tickets to NY, the plane departing in 2 hours. While waiting, the Ice Dancers enter the airport.

"It looks like the Police Cadets lose," says Gwen in a serious tone.

"But MacArthur went back to help Josee escape the cave?" asks Trent with wide eyes.

"Yes, but you know 'No good deed goes unpunished,'" Gwen smirk as Trent node silently. As they wait for the next plane, Gwen wonders if their good deed would be punished as well.


The Bahamas is over and there is only the last part of the last stage left, no more alliances, and only three teams left.

Well, this time there was no Best friends to use as a guide, so I decided to throw the challenge and put Gwen and Trent here, I like the final result, and it was not too similar to the surfer dudes.

Also, I decide to change the elimination and put The Sisters on the final, I think in the story, they get much more weight to confront the Drama Team than the police cadets, and if I am already making changes, why not? I hope you, my readers, don't hate this change.

Teams eliminated: the Larpers, Tennis rivals, Geniuses, Vegetarians, fashion bloggers, Mother and daughter, Adversity twins, Step Brothers, Rockers, Father and Son, Reality TV Pros, Goths, Surfer Dudes, the Daters, The Police Cadets.

As always, thanks for reading and I hope you like it
