"Last time on Total Drama," Chris recapped, "twenty-two new contestants got a bang into the island, and learned what happens when you pester the wildlife. Then they had to get their team totem to the cabins before they exploded. The Rats won invincibility and AC in their cabin while the Maggots ended up blowing up their cabin and then sending someone home. The loser? Staci, via the Hurl of Shame! Who will go home next on the Hurl of Shame? Find out right here, right now on Total...Drama...Revenge of the Island!"

At the girls' side of the Rats' cabin Dawn was hanging upside down on her bunk. She was talking to a little bird, to Dakota's annoyance. "Really?" Dawn asked it. "Oh, no!"
"Could you keep it down?" Dakota told her. "If I don't get my beauty sleep, I'll lose it!"
"Yes, because your desire for fame is really a desperate cry for love."
"Who told you that? My therapist?"
"I see people's auras. And it looks like someone threw up on yours."
"Oh, go eat a worm!" The bird Dawn was talking to regurgitated a worm for her. "Uh, no thanks." At the boys' side, Dave, B, Shawn and Sam were still sound asleep when Scott slammed the door, waking everyone up. "Zombie!" Shawn shouted, holding up a water balloon.
"It's just Scott," Dave informed him, "Though he does look dirtier than yesterday. Where were you?"
"I was just having a early morning make-out session with the ladies," Scott told them.
"Oh?" Dave asked, calling his bluff, "Who?" The scene flashed back to Scott being chased by a pair of mutant beavers. "A gentleman never kisses and tells," Scott replied to Dave.
"You kissed a gentleman?" Sam asked, misunderstanding him. Scott and Dave just stared at him.
Confessional: Scott (Toxic Rats)
"Alright, I was looking for that invincibility statue. Not that they need to know. It's all part of my strategy; let my team lose so the Maggots develop a false sense of security
before I pick 'em off!" He heard a knocking coming from outside. "Occupied!" He screamed when a mutant beaver barged into the confessional.
End Confessional
At the boys' side of the Maggot cabin Leonard was getting his clothes out. He was changing from a green tank top and shorts to his wizard's outfit. "Uh, Leonard?" Cameron spoke up from his sleeping bag.
Confessional: Cameron (Mutant Maggots)
"This was my first time sleeping outside of my bubble, but when I recreated my bubble with my sleeping bag, I was out like that! What an adventure!"
End Confessional
"What's with the costume?" Cameron asked.
"I think if I look like a powerful wizard, I can BE a powerful wizard!" Leonard replied. "Plus, it just feels cozy."
"If you think so..."
"Do not fret, I shall use my powers to ward off all evil from our team." Cameron smiled at this.
Out in the forest Brick was jogging.
Confessional: Brick (Toxic Rats)
"As the only one with any military training, I definitely have a winning edge. My biggest competition is probably Jo. Good thing we're on the same team. Like my drill sergeant always says, 'keep your enemies close and your rivals closer!' No, I don't think that was it. Was it 'keep your family close and your enemies at arm's length'? No, it-it's not that..."
End Confessional
He continued to jog. Jo was also jogging in another area on the island. They each ran faster, not seeing each other. A mutant squirrel and Mike, both on the roof of the Maggots' cabin, were watching them. "They're making good time," Mike remarked in-between bites of fish. The squirrel nodded while it ate a chocolate bar whole. Brick and Jo soon crashed into each other. Mike winced at this while the squirrel snickered. "Just finished my 5k run," Jo told Brick as she brushed herself off. "You?"
"8k," Brick replied.
"I mean I did a 8k warm-up then 5k at full sprint."
"Mine was uphill."
"Uphill with my eyes shut!"
"I ran backwards, with earplugs!"
"Why earplugs?"
"I don't know!"
"Jocks," Mike muttered. The squirrel used its tongue to snatch his fish, to Mike's annoyance.
"Team Rat is lucky to have us," Jo told Brick, "We won the challenge."
"Ugh!" Mike sighed. He slid off the roof to where Jo and Brick stood. "I'm pretty sure it was B's idea that won it for you."
"Where did- never mind. You and all the other Maggots will go down!"
"Just don't get too cocky. That's how a good handful of people who competed on Total Drama get kicked off."
"Oh, go play with that squirrel of yours!" Mike noticed the mutant squirrel had followed him. "Looks likes you have a buddy," Brick told him.
"I think it just wants something to eat," Mike replied. It squeaked in response. "You already ate my food," he told it, "The glutton."
"Pretty good name for your friend."
"Thank you?"
Confessional: Mike (Mutant Maggots)
"I've never been an animal person like Dawn, but the little guy seems to like me, as long as I have food around." The mutant squirrel came to his lap. "I took Brick's advice and called the little guy Gluttony, cause it eats a lot." He patted it a little before it nipped his finger. He pulled away. "Well, it's a start."
End Confessional
Chris's air horn rang out, spooking a sleeping gull. "Up and at 'em, my little morning glories," Chris teased, "it's time for today's challenge!" Everyone was outside the cabins.
"What?" Lightning moaned. "But Lightning hasn't had his DPA!"
"His what?" Jasmine asked, confused.
"My Daily Protein Allotment. Duh!"
"And I hadn't had enough beauty sleep," Dakota complained.
"Come on," Sam assured her, "you look- GREAT SONS OF ORION!" Dakota removed her sunglasses, showing her baggy, bloodshot eyes.
"You can catch up on beauty sleep later, Dakota," Chris told her. "Right this way to the Bay of Dismay!" Everyone groaned at this. Dakota pulled out her cellphone. "Hey," she spoke to it, "We're going to some bay-HEY!" Chris used a magnet on a fishing pole to take away her cellphone, along with Sam's GameGuy. "Confiscators keepers!" Chris told them to their dismay. "Now get moving!" Everyone walked to the bay. "Bay of Dismay?" Zoey worryingly asked. "Yikes! It sounds like a fight location from Total Warriors 2."
"Never figured you were the type to like action movies," Mike commented.
"Yeah. I also like ultimate kickboxing." Mike smiled at this.
"If you two make out, I will get sick," Topher interjected.
"Who replaced your heart with granite?" Mike told him, annoyed.
Confessional: Mike (Mutant Maggots)
"Yeah, I thought I disliked Topher before, but now he's getting on my last nerve. It's like he wants to cause a scene. Let's just say if he tries any stunts, he's not going to like me if I'm at my worst."
End Confessional
"Sorry about the outburst, Dakota," Sam told her. "I was just taken aback by your lovely...nostrils." He then realized what he said.
Confessional: Sam (Toxic Rats)
"Nostrils? NOSTRILS?!"
End Confessional
"Thanks," Dakota awkwardly told him, "I like your...um, can I get back to you on that?" She walked off, leaving Sam a little depressed. At the Bay of Dismay everyone was strapped in seats that hung a few feet above the water, with the Maggots on the right side and the Rats on the left. Chris was standing on a separate dock, and he had on a blue tuxedo. "Everyone all snug?" he asked.
"Too snug," Scott complained, "They're cutting into my shoulders!"
"Yeah, children-sized harnesses can do that."
"As long as I'm above the water, I'm fine," Sky whispered to herself, closing her eyes in fear.
Confessional: Sky (Toxic Rats)
"When I was seven, me and my sister River were swimming in the lake when a piece of trash that someone left in there got caught on my ankle. I was dragged down to the bottom for what felt like hours! My sister dragged me out and told me I'd been down there about a minute, but that nightmarish moment still haunts me to this day! I guess that's how my fear of the water started and why I can't swim very well. I hope it doesn't hinder my team."
End Confessional
"This is the 'Getting to Know You' challenge!" Chris announced.
"Great name, Chris," Topher told him, "How does it work?"
"Thanks for asking, Topher. I'll being asking the teams embarrassing questions, and I mean majorly embarrassing. If the person I'm talking about presses the poorly-wired buzzer and owns up to their embarrassment, they get a point. First team to five points wins an advantage in part two of the next challenge. If no one owns up to it by the time limit, this happens!" He pressed a button on a remote, sending the Rats underwater. No one thought bad about it; except for Sky, who was screaming her lungs out; until a two-legged shark swam to them, making them scream in fright. The shark was about to chomp them when the seats pulled the Rats back up. "Enjoy your little swim?" Chris mockingly asked the Rats while they were catching their breath.
"There's a freaky, two-legged shark monster down there!" Dave exclaimed. Sky was to his left, hyperventilating. "Please don't send me back down there!" she shrieked.
"You mean Fang? Yeah, apparently toxic waste affects animals underwater too. Now, let's start the show! First question goes to the Rats. Who did this on the one and only date they ever had?" The sound of a fart was heard. Everyone on the Rats giggled except for Sam, who only blushed in embarrassment. "Where did you get that?" he asked before pressing his buzzer, shocking him.
"That's one point for the Rats!" Chris declared. "Now for the Maggots." All the Maggots had a worried look.
Confessional: Samey (Mutant Maggots)
"Maybe it won't be so bad. The only positive I can see is if Chris asks a question about Amy. Please let that happen. That's not too harsh to ask, is it?"
End Confessional
"Which Maggot was in a diaper til they were eleven?" Chris asked. Cameron began to sweat before pressing the buzzer. "It's me," he admitted while blushing.
""Ha!" Lightning laughed, "Does Cammy need his bottle, too?"
"I wouldn't mock if I were you," Mike warned him, "You won't be smiling when one of your secrets gets blurted out."
"Regardless," Chris continued, "the score's one-all! Rats, who wet their pants on the first and last day of school?"
"One of us is a bed-wetter?" Dave said with disgust. "I am so glad I sleep on the top bunk." Brick began to blush and sweat. "He who sweats it wets it," Jo declared, looking at him. "Team before pride, cadet." He pressed his buzzer. "Alright, it was me!" Brick admitted. Everyone on his team giggled.
"I know it must've been hard to admit that," Sky reassured him, "Trust me, I know what it's like to keep a, um, bad secret from your team."
"Maggots," Chris continued, "who had to wear a dress because they lost a bet?" No one looked sure who was the guilty one. Mike turned his head to Topher, who had his arms crossed but was blushing badly. "Time's up!" Chris told them. He pressed a button and the Maggots were sent underwater. Fang was putting on a bib when he saw the Maggots. They screamed when they saw Fang open his jaws to chomp them, but Mike, looking unfazed, socked Fang in the nose. He whimpered off as the Maggots were brought back up. "That was really brave of you to stand up to Fang like that," Zoey told Mike. He blushed.
Confessional: Mike (Mutant Maggots)
"From what I've been told, sharks usually don't go near people, unless they have an open wound. Fang seems to be an exception."
End Confessional
"Rats," Chris told them, "you can steal this point if you can guess which Maggot's guilty." The Rats whispered among themselves. "It's Topher," Dave replied.
"Correct! Score's now 3-1 Rats."
"Topher...," Mike scolded.
"Alright, Rats," Chris continued, "Who's first name is really...Beverly?"
"Who cares if a girl's name is Beverly?" Amy scoffed. Dawn, Sky and Jo just sat there, Anne-Maria was filing her nails, and Dakota was looking at herself in her mirror. B had a nervous look before pressing his buzzer. "Correct, Beverly. Though I would've preferred a verbal response,"
"But B never talks," Dawn explained, "Just look at his aura."
"We still get the point, right?" Dave asked.
"Yes," Chris told him, "but as a quick punishment..." He pressed a button, sending the Rats back underwater. Fang chomped Scott, to Scott's horror. The Rats were sent back up. "Wait for me!" Scott gargled as he pried Fang's jaw open and swam out.
Confessional: Scott (Toxic Rats)
He pulled a shark tooth out of his butt. "What the...a shark tooth?"
Confessional: Fang
He saw his tooth missing when he looked into a mirror. He growled and snapped the mirror
End Confessionals
Scott crawled back up to his seat. "Thanks for leaving me down there, team," he sarcastically told them, "You can win this stupid challenge without me."
"Uh, since I've been humiliated, can I go now?" Sam asked.
"Okay, settle down," Chris told them.
"Come on, guys," Sky told her team, "We're only one point away from winning. We can do it!" Her team mumbled in agreement. "Okay, Maggots," Chris continued, "who accidentally trampled their partner while dancing?" All eyes turned to Jasmine. "Fine," she sighed. She pressed her buzzer.
"Score's 4-2," Chris announced, "This is for the win, Rats, this is for the win. Which Rat does this when they're nervous?" The sound of a belch was heard. Sky turned red all over. "Is that-?" Dave began to ask but Sky pressed her buzzer before he could finish. "That's five points! Rats win!"
"Hooray," Sky groaned.
"What will these campers endure next?"
"Chris," Topher spoke up, "I hate to interrupt while you're throwing to a commercial, but how do we get down?" Chris gave an evil grin as he held up his remote. "No!" Sky begged. Chris pressed the button, sending both teams underwater. "NOOO!" Sky screamed. "Stay tuned to find out," Chris finished.
(cue commercial)
Everyone was walking to the next area for the next challenge. "Gee, this is the longest I've gone without a video game," Sam told Dakota, "My hands feel so...empty."
"Chris is such a jerk," Dakota told him. She held up her waterlogged phone. "I could've sent, like, 600 texts by now."
"Looks like we have a lot in common."
"How could you say such a thing?!"
"No! I mean about the tech withdrawal! Trust me, you're nothing like me otherwise." Dakota looked at him for a moment. "Aw, thanks," she replied, making Sam smile.
Lightning was complaining about the loss. "Why am I on a team of sha-losers?" he moaned.
"Easy, Bolt Breath," Mike told him, "We only lost once. Besides, winning isn't everything." Lightning tackled him to the ground. "Guys, don't fight!" Zoey begged.
"No," Topher said, "a fight's good for ratings." Lightning's cry of pain caught their attention. Mike had managed to pin him down. "You'll leave me and my friends alone, right?" Mike asked him.
"Just get off the Lightning!" Lightning told him. He got off his back.
Confessional: Mike (Mutant Maggots)
"Yeah, I guess that wasn't me at my best. I guess I can be a little...overprotective of my friends at times. But I mean well, honest!" He sighed.

"Welcome to the second part of today's challenge," Chris announced, "The Mad Skills Obstacle Course! The relay begins at the kick start," he pointed to a big boot, "then it's a race against time that is the Cannonball Run," he showed an area that had a bunch of cannons firing at all angles, "then it's my personal favorite: Wreaking Ball Alley!" A big wreaking ball swung atop two revolving pins. "Next is the Gangplanks, complete with mutant beavers," Two mutant beavers were gnawing at the thin gangplanks, "followed by the toppling agony of Double Trouble," Four bouncing, bobbing pads were shown next, "and finally, the Grand Slam, where you'll use ropes to swing into the giant baseball glove while avoiding the deadly bats." A bird accidentally flew into a bat, stunning it.
"Where's the advantage you promised us?" Shawn impatiently asked. Chef brought out a shoe box. Shawn opened it and saw ten pairs of tinted glasses. "Nerd glasses? Really?"
"They're not for you, Shawn," Chris explained, "For winning part one, the Rats won't wear these. The race can still be done, in theory." The Maggots groaned at this news. "Competitors," Chris continued, "take your places! First up at the kick start, Anne-Maria and Dave for the Rats and Lightning and Topher for the Maggots. Next is Ella, Amy, Brick and Dawn at the Cannonball Run. Samey, Mike, Scott and Jo will do Wreaking Ball Alley. The Maggots' Leonard and Zoey along with B and Shawn will face off on the Gangplanks. Sam and Sky will face off on Double Trouble. And finally, Dakota and Cameron will face each other in the Grand Slam. First team to finish wins the whole she-bang! Since it's a relay, you need something to pass: your mascots! Oh, interns!" An intern brought two animal cages to the kick start area. "A mutant rat for Team Rat," A four-armed rat was given to Anne-Maria and Dave, the latter screaming in fear. "And a mutant maggot for Team Maggot." A large, oozing maggot was given to Lightning and Topher. "A what now?" Lightning asked.
"And go!" Chris told them as he blew his air horn. The big boot kicked Dave and Anne-Maria ahead. "Here!" Dave told Brick and Dawn as he passed the rat to them. Lightning and Topher were gaining up on them. They passed the maggot to Ella and Amy. "You hold onto that thing," Amy told Ella.
"I would love to!" Ella chirped. She skipped and hummed between the cannons. Dawn and Brick had managed to get past the cannonballs and passed the rat to Scott and Jo. "That's how the Rats roll!" Brick said. He walked away until he fell off the platform. "Rats still have the lead!" Chris narrated. He noticed Ella singing, to his dismay. "So our team isn't feeling blue," she sang, "we now pass our maggot to you!"
"Um..." Samey stuttered, unsure how to answer.
"Move it, Samey!" Amy barked. While she got closer, she accidentally knocked off Ella. Mike was quick to grabbed her gloved hand before she could fall. He pulled her up. "Thank you," she replied.
Confessional: Ella (Mutant Maggots)
"That was a true fairy tale moment. I have found my prince!"
End Confessional
"Hurry!" Samey told Mike. He ran to where she was. "How are we going to get through that?" Mike whispered something in her ear. "Are you sure?" He nodded. "Okay." Jo had reached where Shawn and B stood. "Where's that dirt rat?" she wondered. "And what are those weaklings doing?" Mike was holding the rolling pins in place with an iron grip. Samey was crawling underneath the wreaking ball while the pins were still. She and Scott made it to the next obstacle. Shawn easily leaped over the gangplanks to the other side.
Confessional: Shawn (Toxic Rats)
"In my mind, I'm always fighting or running from the undead, and if you're not, you're crazy! And trust me when I say that nothing supernatural will escape my crosshairs! I know who to boot if the Rats lose."
End Confessional
"Where's Mike at?" Zoey asked Samey. Mike had loosened his grip, which caused the pin to spin incredibly fast. "Whoa!" he cried out, spinning at the same rate as the pins until he was flung over to his teammates. "Now I know what clothes in the washing machine feel like," he groaned. He passed the maggot to Leonard, but not before the maggot puked on Mike. "Let us proceed!" Leonard told Zoey.
Meanwhile, B pocketed the rat in his pocket and hopped along the gangplanks until the one he was standing on collapsed. The mutant beavers growled at him until B made a mud model of a female beaver to distract them. The mud decoy worked, and B sneaked away. "The Rats extend their lead!" Chris commented.
Leonard had reached the end of the gangplanks while Zoey was halfway across. Unfortunately for her, B's mud decoy had fell apart, and the beavers got angry. They chewed the platform she was on and she fell down. "Zoey?" Mike shouted, worried.
"Help!" Zoey cried out. One of the beavers held her while the other opened a bottle of ketchup. Mike stared in horror. "Mike, are you-" Samey began to ask but Mike had already leaped in to help Zoey. "Let go of her!" he shouted as he tacked one of the beavers. The other beaver could only stare, paralyzed with terror. A moment later, the beaver Mike wrestled was moaning in pain. "Anything you want to add, Toothpick?" Mike asked the beaver that was holding Zoey. The beaver quickly let go of her and ran off. "Thanks, Mike," she told Mike.
"Well...," he blushed.
"Zoey!" Leonard told her, "We must forge on! Here, I'll levitate you!" He pointed his staff at her, and a purple glow radiated from it. "Whoa!" Zoey cried out in surprise.
"Easy!" Mike told Leonard, "That's precious cargo you're floating!" Zoey had landed safely next to Leonard.
Confessional: Leonard (Mutant Maggots)
"Don't tell anybody, but that was the first time I levitated something that was bigger than a watermelon. I know I need to practice my sorcery more."

Sam and Sky were bouncing on the Double Trouble area. "Dakota!" Sam told her, "Catch!" She turned around one second too late and missed the rat. "Okay!" she said. She was surprised to see Sky. "Um, where's Sam?" Dakota asked. Sam was face-down in the mud. Jasmine had bounced over the pads with ease before handing the maggot to Cameron. "Go!" she ordered him. He ran to the ropes. "I never felt so alive!" he cried out. His enthusiasm had faded when he saw the Grand Slam. "I'm dead," he muttered.
Sam walked up to Dakota with their rat. "Here," he sighed. Dakota took it and ran to the rope. "Well, Dakota fans," she spoke to the camera, "here goes!" She swung to the glove, but she barely hung onto the it before falling off. When she saw she was covered in mud, she let out a blood-curling shriek. Cameron had tried to swing as well but he hit the bat instead.
Dakota was walking back to try again when the paparazzi flew down in a hot air balloon. "Dakota, up here!" one of them called out.
"Hey, there!" she waved. "You're just in time for my, um, mud bath!"
"Dakota," Sam called out to her, "ignore them and swing! SWING!" While Dakota posed for the cameras Cameron went to try again. "Velocity times mass times wind speed..." However, the maggot he held bit his arm. He screamed and ran, accidentally tripping on the rope. He got knocked into three bats before he landed on the glove. "The Maggots win!" Chris announced. The Maggots cheered while the Rats groaned. "Oh, and as for Dakota's annoying entourage, Chef?" Chef used a slingshot to hurl a pebble at the balloon, popping it. "Um, rude!" Dakota complained.
At the cabins the Rats, save for Dakota and Sky, were discussing who to vote off. "Okay, Dakota has to go," Scott told them, "She's only in it for the photo op."
"You make a valid point," Brick admitted.
"Come on, guys," Sam argued, "Sure, she's easily distracted, but she's also a Level Ten Hottie! Not that that's important. Let's give her a chance."
"A great darkness is surrounding Dakota," Dawn ominously warned, "If she stays on the island, disaster will befall her."
"I say if you're not going to vote off Dakota," Shawn argued, "then you should vote off Sky."
"NO!" Dave cried out in protest. "I mean, why would you do that?"
"Because I'm not letting that little leech stay any longer!"
"How dare you call her that!"
"Shawn," Dawn calmed him, "I understand you hate anything connected to anything supernatural, but Sky's heart has pure intentions. Give her a chance."
"What do you...mean...by..." Dave's voice faltered when he saw Sky standing there, tears in her eyes. She turned and ran away, crying. "Maybe I should let her explain herself to you, Dave," Dawn told him, "I don't want to make things any worse between you two."
At the elimination ceremony the Toxic Rats were all seated for it, with B, Dawn, Sam and Shawn in the back, and Jo, Brick, Scott, Dave, Sky and Dakota were up front. "Rats," Chris began, "everyone gets a marshmallow, even the loser, and it's one marshmallow you do NOT want to eat. The following are safe: Jo, Brick, Dave, Scott, Dawn, B, Shawn, Anne-Maria and Sam. Which leaves Sky and Dakota."
"What?!" they both cried out.
"And the Marshmallow of Loserdom goes to..." Dakota nervously filed her nails while Sky narrowed her eyes with worry. "...Dakota!"
"No!" Dakota cried out. The last marshmallow was tossed to Sky. "I didn't get my spin-off series yet! NOOO!" Dakota ran off, with Chef following her. Sam only sighed.
Confessional: Sam (Toxic Rats)
"Man, I can't believe Dakota's gone! I was hoping to repeatedly ask her out and get turned down all season!" He sighed.

At the Hurl of Shame Dakota was about to be hurled. "Any last words before you ride the Hurl of Shame?" Chris asked her.

Yeah, chapter two is similar to canon. But with this chapter, it has some things to set the plot up, such as what will happen between characters such as Dave, Sky, Ella and Mike. Speaking of which, I got a review asking if Mike might be the 'second antagonist' and the short answer is NO. In my story, he's more of an anti-hero, like Deadpool. (Apologies if I'm wrong about the Deadpool thing; I'm not an expert when it comes to Marvel comics.) He's loyal to his friends, but to a fault, as you'll see in the next chapter. Also, if anyone wants to guess who will be eliminated next, they're welcome to. (It's one person per team, so you know.) That should it, then, so I'll have to say is enjoy and have a good day.
