"Last time on Total Drama Revenge of the Island," Chris recapped, "Our bumbling buffoons battled it out in a brutal buffet of bombastica. Why all the 'B' words? Because B proved he was a brave and brilliant improviser who scored big time for his team. Until bitter Scott botched it on purpose and B got the boot. What will happen today? Stick around to find out on Total...Drama...Revenge of the Island!"

Zoey and Samey were walking out to the dock, though Samey was looking more somber than usual. "Don't you like coming out here?" Zoey asked, concerned.

"It's not that," Samey replied, "It's just that Amy told me to go get some food from the forest, thinking it's better."

"You got to stop letting Amy treat you like a servant."

"If only she treats me that well..."

"Why do you let her? If you don't mind me asking."

"Because she's everyone's favorite. She's the pretty one."

"You're identical twins. Aren't you both the pretty one? Look, you need to stand up for yourself."

"How can I? She knows what to say to make me look like the mean one." Samey sighed. "We're at the dock."

"Why did you bring me here? Is there something you like to show me?" The water began to bubble, making the girls worried. Mike soon surfaced, with a fish in his mouth. "Oh! Mike," Zoey realized, "Why do you have a fish in your mouth?"

"Mph?" he mumbled. He took the fish out of his mouth before speaking again. "I was just getting something to eat."

"Fish?"

"What can I say? I guess I'm a bit of a fish lover. Got a stack over there the size of a rhino."

"You...must have hid it well; I don't see it."

"Huh?" Mike noticed that Gluttony was over by a nearby bush, giggling. "That was ten fish and he ate them all in one sitting?!" he exclaimed.

"I guess that's why you call him Gluttony, huh?" Samey told him.

"If you want to give credit to someone on the critter's name, give it to Brick. He was the one to come up with it."

"Speaking of which, I think you need to talk to him. When I mentioned your name, he got really skittish and took off. I think you might have scared him."

"We did get into a heated fight during the snow fort challenge," Mike reluctantly admitted. "You're right, Samey; I should talk to him. You seem like a good friend to talk to."

"You want to be friends? If not, that's okay. I don't have a lot of friends back home."

"The way Amy treats you bothers us," Zoey told her, "so, yeah, we're friends." Samey smiled at this news.

Confessional: Samey (Mutant Maggots)

"They're right! Amy HAS been getting away with too much! I gotta stand up for myself! But...I have to be careful. One wrong step and she'll convince everyone that she's innocent in all this and I'm the mean one! What to do...hmm, that trick Mike did a few days ago will be perfect!"

Confessional: Mike (Mutant Maggots)

"Samey's a nice kid, and she deserves a chance to win. I just wish I could help her out a little more today, but I have two problems to deal with first. The first is talking to Brick and clearing the air. The second one will be much tougher: Ella. That weird, fantasy-like head of hers thinks I'm her true love. I don't want her like that! I have to be careful not to snap at her."

End Confessionals

In front of the Maggots' cabin, Leonard was telling a story. "And so," he spun, "with the dragon's scale and enough quicksilver, I had banished the aqrabuamelu from my hometown!"

"A harrowing tale of dungeons and dice!" Ella sang, "And besting a monster that just wasn't nice!"

"Um, maybe you should sing to the other team as, uh, friendly competition?"

"What a wonderful idea, Leonard!" She danced away, to the relief of her team. Sky and Dave walked up to the other Maggots. "I am so glad Ella isn't on our team," Dave told Sky, "She just seems too...cheerful." He noticed Jasmine glaring at him. "Not that it's a bad thing. But she needs to look at things with more...realism."

"Just stay in your lane, Rat," Jasmine scolded.

"Hey, Leonard," Sky spoke up, "I couldn't help but overhear your story."

"I am glad this fair maiden enjoyed this true tale," he thanked.

"Uh, this creature...it wasn't part scorpion, was it?"

"How did thou know that?"

"Well, my dad is a cryptozoologist, and he told me that those scorpion men warn travelers and are guardians, so..."

"I guess I'm not an expert in creatures like you are. Maybe that shall aid your team." Sky could only smile.

Confessional: Sky (Toxic Rats)

"I guess I should consider myself lucky to have such nice people around, like Leonard, and Dawn, and Sam, and Dave..." She blushed as she said the last name but quickly caught herself. "As a friend. Nothing more than a friend."

End Confessional

At the Rats' cabin Scott was trying to talk most of his team into voting his way. "We all agree that our weakest link needs to go next," he said to Jo, Brick and Shawn. "Who do you think we should vote off next? Dave? Sam? Sky?" However, Shawn wasn't listening as he was staring at Jasmine with loving eyes.

Confessional: Shawn (Toxic Rats)

"Not only is the girl cool, she's also great at everything she does. I mean, she was able to scale a cliff with two broken wrists! If that's not determination, I don't know what is! But I can't get in a relationship. Self-preservation comes first."

End Confessional

"Hello, other team!" Ella greeted. "Who would like to hear a song?"

"No one, Ella!" Chris announced over the intercom. "It's challenge time! All butts to the bonfire area in five." As the teams walked over, Ella got closer to Mike. "Oh, Michael," she cooed, "I wrote you a romantic poem." Mike could only groan.

Confessional: Ella (Mutant Maggots)

"And what's a poem, but an unsung song?"

End Confessional

She began to recite her poem. "Michael is sweet like many treats, like candy and cake-"

"Here's something to think about," Mike interrupted, "Your dress is pink, skunks really stink, go away before you make someone cry!" He stormed away from her. "That last part didn't even rhyme," Cameron commented, seeing the scene.

"That's not the point!" Mike shouted off-screen.

Confessional: Mike (Mutant Maggots)

"I can't any more of Ella's romantic views of me! You know what? Consider all my patience gone. If we lose, she has to go! I'm sorry, I just can't take any more of this!" He buried his head in his hands.

End Confessional

"Welcome, campers," Chris greeted once everyone had arrived. "Today's challenge is called 'Doom Balloons'."

"Doom?" Cameron nervously asked.

"Afraid you might hurt yourself?" Jo teased. "Because us Rats will win today! We are the strongest team."

"It takes more than brawn to win in the end."

"He's right, you know," Mike defended.

"Alright!" Chris silenced them. "Intern! Bring out the balloons!" Topher, now in intern clothing, was carrying a huge box filled with water balloons. He sat them down next to Chris. "Here you go," he told him, "For the brilliant and talented Chris McLean!"

Confessional: Topher

"At first, I'd thought being an intern would be crummy, but it has a few perks. For one, I can mess with the cast and I can't get hurled off again like last time. Plus, I get to watch Chris at his best! Whoo!"

Confessional: Mike (Mutant Maggots)

"It's official: I'm still asleep and stuck in a nightmare!" He pinched himself, then screamed in pain. "Either you can still feel pain in dreams, or this is really happening. Man, Topher being back bites!"

End Confessionals

"You all have ten seconds to grab balloons that are filled with...who knows what? Talc, paint, itching powder, bees, spiders, bird poop. It's always a surprise!"

"Yay!" Ella cheered as she clapped. "Who doesn't love a surprise?"

"None of you. None of you will love a surprise!"

"So, what do we do?" Anne-Maria asked.

"If you're hit with any balloon contents, you're out. Doesn't matter if they're thrown, kicked, dropped, launched or sent by carrier. Last one standing wins it for their team." Chris then blew a whistle. "Get your balloons, people!" Everyone rushed to grab a handful of balloons before rushing off. "The hunt doesn't begin until you hear the air horn." Chris noticed Mike was still standing around, empty-handed. "Dude," he told him, "you're gonna be an easy out if you don't get some ammo."

"I just wanted to clear some stuff up before I start my game plan," Mike replied.

"Like?"

"Just seeing if some...scenarios break the rules or if they're legal."

Confessional: Mike (Mutant Maggots)

"Cam's right in saying that it's not all brawn. No finalist won on sheer strength alone. A little strategy and fox-like cunning aided with a person's athletic power wins it in the end. I just wanted to clear some stuff up so I didn't get disqualified," An air horn blew from outside. "And so it begins."

End Confessional

Mike crept over to the junk pile and pulled out some bits. He then began to work on making something, smiling as he did so. Meanwhile, Ella was holding a balloon with a smiley face drawn on it. She then saw a butterfly flutter by. "Hello, beautiful butterfly," she told it, "You're so delicate. You should hide until our game is done." A moment later, Leonard and Cameron came charging at her, with both boys holding a balloon. They stopped when they saw it was only Ella. "Sorry," Cameron told her, "We'd thought you were someone like Jo or Scott."

"That's okay. It was an honest mistake. Look, just because my balloon is made to do harm doesn't mean it can't look adorable and constantly delighted to be here!" They soon saw Brick marching by. "Get him!" Leonard cried out. He ran to fire his balloon but ended up tripping on his wizard outfit, splattering both of them with green goo. "Oh, well," he said with a touch of hope, "At least I got someone out."

"Good job, soldier," Brick moaned, still underneath him.

Over by another area, Sky was walking when she heard a twig snap. She turned to fire a balloon when she saw it was Dave and lowered her arm. "Oh, it's you," she told him.

"Yeah," Dave said. "Um, is it me or do you look a little...pink?" Sky's skin had turned a shade of pink. "I must've forgotten to put on sunscreen," she replied.

"But it isn't hot out."

"My skin is a little more sensitive to sunburn. It's a bit of a downside to being a vampire."

"Oh, that's right. So, do you want to team up? Watch each other's back, you know? Promise I'll keep you out of the sun."

Confessional: Sky (Toxic Rats)

"Dave's a nice guy, and he is cute, but I have to keep my head in the game. I can't be distracted by his eyes, or that hair, or his smile... Uh, what was I talking about? Right. No distractions."

End Confessional

"Um, no thank you, Dave," Sky told him, "It's nothing personal; it's just easier to be silent when you're by yourself."

"Are you saying that talking to me is just too tempting?" Dave asked her with a smirk.

"Not exactly what I meant, but if that's how you want to interpret it, okay."

Confessional: Dave (Toxic Rats)

"It's not like I'm falling for her. I mean, yes, she's really cute, and totally awesome at everything and anything, and she has those deep eyes and silky hair... What was I saying? Right. Yeah, I'm falling for her."

End Confessional

"Going it alone might work sometimes, but I-" Dave began.

"Quiet," Sky told him, "I heard something." Up in a nearby tree, Mike was watching the duo. He took a homemade slingshot and aimed his ammo, some walnut shells, at Sky before launching them. They managed to pop her balloons, releasing a swarm of bees. "Bees!" she cried as she ran away from the swarm.

"Sky!" Dave called out in concern.

"Yes!" Mike whispered with glee. "It worked!" He then saw Sam and Dawn walking by the cabins. "Time to take out two others." He leapt down and followed them. "So, Dawn," Sam began as they walked, "With your aura powers, do you think you can tell if Dakota likes me?"

"I am not sure on that, Sam," Dawn replied, "but I can see your affections for Dakota are genuine."

"Thanks. What do you think about our teammates Dave and Sky?"

"I know they are destined to be together, but I fear if they're not open to each other, their hearts shall be in ruin!" They soon saw Mike up ahead, his back to them. "Sorry, buddy," Sam chuckled as he held up a balloon, "You should've hidden better."

"Sam? Is that you?" Mike asked. He turned to see them, but he now had a big pink stain on his shirt. Sam lowered his arm when he saw it. "What happened?" he asked.

"Scott knocked me out," Mike explained. "But hey, good game." He walked up to him, holding out his hand.

"Wait, Sam!" Dawn warned, "He's lying!"

"He's out," Sam told her, "There's no need to worry." Mike suddenly took the shirt he had on and flung it on Sam's head, then took one of his balloons and flung it onto Dawn, covering her in flour. "I thought you were out," Sam told Mike.

"I lied," he bluntly told him, "I just tossed a balloon on an old t-shirt of mine before putting it on."

"So, you tricked me?"

"Dawn tried to warn you, buddy. I'd better get another shirt. See ya!" He jogged off, leaving Sam and Dawn alone. "Well, that stinks," Sam finally spoke up. Chris had paused the scene on his monitor. "Looks like Mike is really getting into the game," he commented, "but it's still anyone's game. Who will come out on top? Find out when we come back."

(cue commercial)

Over by a bush, Cameron was hiding when he was suddenly pelted with balloons. "Sha-whoo!" Lightning cheered. "Lightning got someone!"

"You got me!" Cameron told him as he walked out of the bush. He now had a blue stain on his red hoodie. "You're supposed to hit the other team."

"No one told Lightning that!" Cameron just gave him an incredulous stare. Soon, Lightning was hit with a balloon filled with relish and mustard. "Hey!" he complained.

"I think you looking like a hot dog is enough payback for getting me out," Cameron told him. Meanwhile, Anne-Maria was walking by, spraying her hair when Amy and Samey tossed balloons at her, with one of Samey's hitting her, covering her in ketchup. "If this messes up my hair, you're gonna pay," Anne-Maria threatened the twins as she stormed off.

"Nice work, Samey!" Zoey told her as she walked up to the twins.

"Um, loud cough of interruption!" Amy rudely told her. She shoved her sister aside. "I was the one that took out Anne-Maria, not Samey!"

"I can tell you two apart, and I know Samey was the one that tossed that balloon." Samey smiled as she got up to her feet while Amy just looked shocked.

Confessional: Amy (Mutant Maggots)

"'Kay, since when does anyone take Samey's side? She's just a wannabe me, a spare Amy." She gasped. "Her name should be Spareamy! I am gonna change her birth certificate as soon as we get home!"

End Confessional

"Where do we go next, girls?" Zoey asked the duo.

"Where I say we go," Amy barked to them.

"Did you here something, Zoey?" Samey asked her, ignoring Amy. She walked past her, giving Zoey a little wink as she did.

Confessional: Samey (Mutant Maggots)

"That felt so good! But I don't think it'll be enough. Zoey's right; I gotta stand up for myself!"

End Confessional

Meanwhile, Sky was still getting bee stings out of her arm. "Yeesh," Dave commented as he ran by her. "Looks like you were got good." Sky glared at him. "Not that it's a good thing, but I do see a positive."

"Gee, what?" Sky snapped at him.

"That you can now relax in the shade and get some aloe on that skin of yours. I tried to get a tan once, and I didn't put on any sunscreen, and the pain I had lasted for days."

"Listen, Dave," Sky told him, "you need to warn the others that someone on the other team is using our own balloons against us. We can't afford to lose after yesterday."

"You got it, Sky!" He ran off.

"Tree!" she warned him but he crashed into a tree, to her dismay.

Jo was walking in the woods, armed with her balloons, when she saw a tree blink. "Easy, it's me!" Shawn told her. "I covered myself with mud and moss to hide myself. I knew my cake-decorating skills would come in handy."

Confessional: Jo (Toxic Rats)

"Who orders cake that looks like wood? I mean, how many beavers celebrate their birthday?"

Confessional: Shawn (Toxic Rats)

"Bakers have been hiding in plain sight, covered in frosting camouflage since the dawn of time! At least, that's what my old boss at the bakery used to tell me. Mind you, he DID say the pyramids were built by pastry chefs, so..."

End Confessionals

Scott had walked up to the duo. "Any luck picking off the competition?" he slyly asked.

"I took out Bolt Breath and Songbird earlier," Jo bragged. She then saw Dave running up to them. "What are you doing here?"

"Someone's...burst...Sky's balloons while...she held them," Dave panted.

"Smart," Jo admitted, "But which Maggot could do that? It's not Red or the twins, and I doubt Runty knows we're here." Scott's balloons burst in his hand, covering him in spiders. He ran around to try to get them off. "Who dares-?" Jo began to ask but she saw her culprit up in a tree. Mike was standing on a branch, armed with his slingshot. "Just who are you calling a runt, Jo?" he angrily asked her. She and Dave began to toss balloons at him, but he dodged them. As he leapt down, he launched another walnut, bursting Jo and Dave's balloons, covering them in itching powder.

Confessional: Dave (Toxic Rats)

He was scratching himself. "Itching powder?! I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to this."

"Everyone is allergic to it!" Chris said over the intercom, "It's itching powder!"

End Confessional

"Three down," Mike said with confidence. "Now where is Shawn? I heard his voice close by..." A balloon suddenly hit him in the chest, soaking him in clear liquid. "Not so cocky now, are you?" Shawn said as he came out of nowhere.

"I'll admit, that camo trick won it for you," Mike told him, "but I also know that there's only one Rat left, you, and four Maggots. You'd better have a good idea on what to do now. Besides, there is something I've been dying to do all day." He walked off with a smirk.

Over by another part of the forest, Jasmine had found Zoey, Samey and Amy. "Finally!" she breathed. "I trust you will help me, like Amy did in the snow fort challenge."

"Amy?!" Samey gasped. "It was me, not Amy!"

"What is your problem today, Samey?" Amy sighed in annoyance.

"I'm tired of you taking credit for things that I do!"

"Um, I don't think this is the best time," Zoey told her.

"I'm the nice one. Amy is a MONSTER!" As Samey said this she flung her balloon in anger, splattering Jasmine by accident. "You little brat!" she scolded in anger.

Topher was watching the whole scene from a flat screen TV. "Looks like Jasmine is out due to friendly fire!" he narrated. Unknown to him, Mike had come up from behind him. "If I keep this up, I'll be with all the others stars!"

"You'll be with stars, alright," Mike told him as he grabbed his arm. A moment later, Topher was in the Hurl of Shame, with Mike holding the lever. "You'll be with the constellations!" Mike finished.

"This is crazy!" Topher told him.

"Relax. You have a life preserver on if you want to swim back." Topher's life preserver had suddenly deflated. "Wait!" he begged Mike, "Don't you-" Mike pulled the lever and hurled off Topher, sending him flying for the second time.

Confessional: Mike (Mutant Maggots)

"You have no idea how satisfying that was! Whoo!"

End Confessional

Shawn was hiding in a bush. Zoey, Samey and Amy had snuck up above him on a cliff. "Drop it on his head," Zoey told Samey, who held the last balloon.

"Are you sure?" she asked, doubting herself, "I don't want to miss."

"And she would," Amy muttered.

"You can do it," Zoey encouraged.

"Give me that!" Amy grabbed the balloon, but Samey held her grip.

"Quit messing about, Amy."

"It's mine!"

"No, let go!" Samey told her. As the three fought over the balloon, it popped, covering the trio in pink paint. "No!" Zoey cried out.

"Game over!" Chris announced over the intercom. "Toxic Rats win!"

"Way to go, Samey," Amy scorned, "You ruined everything! I'm telling!"

"Good thing you two weren't born Siamese twins, huh?" Zoey told Samey. At the clearing, everyone was gathered to hear what Chris was going to say. "As winners of today's challenge," he told them, "the Rats will be treated to an all-you-can-eat fresh veggie buffet!"

"How is that a reward?" Anne-Maria scoffed.

"With Chef's slop as our meals, any real food is a treat," Dave explained.

"Just because we lost doesn't mean we're not best," Ella sung, to Chris's annoyance, "We'll come back up better than the rest!"

Confessional: Samey (Mutant Maggots)

"Whenever I have something Amy wants, she just takes it! Always, always, always!" A thought came to her, and she began to smile. "Huh, always."

End Confessional

It had gotten dark, and Samey was at the cabins, about to eat an apple, when Amy snatched it from her hand. "Give me that!" she barked. "You don't deserve to eat. And I've talked to the others about how you cost them the challenge. Enjoy being flung on the catapult. See you at the elimination ceremony, SPAREAMY!" She bit into the apple as she walked off. Samey lifted her hand, showing a rash. "And you enjoy that manchineel fruit," she giggled.

At the elimination ceremony, the Mutant Maggots were seated. Samey; Amy, who was eating her fruit; Jasmine; Lightning and Leonard were in the back row while Zoey, Cameron, Mike and Ella were up front. "Time to see who stays and who goes," Chris told them. "The following are safe: Cameron, Zoey, Jasmine, Lightning, Leonard, Mike, and Ella. Oh, and Ella?"

"Yes?" she said.

"You sing again, you're off the show. Got it? Good."

"Maybe you can change his mind with a song," Lightning suggested. She was about to when Mike covered her mouth. "Nice try," he muttered.

"Amy, Samey, one of you is going home," Chris continued. Amy had tossed the core of her fruit away and had a smug look on her face while Samey had a nervous look. "Amy, you seem more concerned about bossing Samey around than helping with the challenges." Just then, the fruit began to take effect, causing Amy to cough and choke. "And Samey," Chris continued, "it was your balloon that cost the team this challenge. The sister heading home is..." Amy's throat and cheeks were now swelled to the point where she couldn't speak. "Oh, ignore her," Samey told Chris when Amy tried to show she wasn't well. "She's just trying to get sympathy. Aren't you, SAMEY?" Amy tried to say otherwise to Chris but she could only mumble out a few moans. "Can't understand a word you're saying Samey," Chris told Amy, "And it really doesn't matter, cause YOU'VE been voted off!" Amy could only cry out in protest as the green marshmallow tossed at her landed at her feet. Samey could only smile.

Confessional: Samey (Mutant Maggots)

"She's had it coming! For years! I guess twinning isn't everything."

Confessional: Zoey (Mutant Maggots)

"The old switcheroo trick! That means Amy's gone and Samey gets to stay! Hooray!"

End Confessionals

At the Hurl of Shame Amy was seated to be hurled off while Samey and Zoey looked on. "Bye-bye, Samey!" Samey told Amy as she waved, "Have a nice flight!" Amy still tried to tell Chris he made a mistake. "Can't understand what she's saying," he remarked to a smirking Samey and Zoey. "It sounds important." He then hurled off Amy. "We're now two Rats and three Maggots down. Who willbe next to fly off? Find out next time on Total...Drama...Revenge of the Island!"

Eliminated: Amy (thought to be Samey)

Well, with this chapter, the word count will be over 22,000! And only five chapters in! Incredible, right?

I said that the next elimination would cause some negative reviews, and with this one, it's more of the HOW than the WHO. I personally loved how she managed to trick her meaner sister and give her some karma at the same time. And I know the next elimination will DEFINITELY create some mixed reviews. (Kinda foreshadowed a little here.)

I also set the stage for the Jasmine/Shawn love story and believe it or not, Anne-Maria will play a part in the next chapter. Just watch.

That should be it for now. Don't be afraid to put in a review if I missed something or you want to take a guess on who goes next. This is Dunsparce519 saying enjoy and have a good day.
