Total Drama: Ultimate Islands!
Episode 4: Diving Yourself Out!
Part 1: Downward Waves!
The 115 remaining contestants are kind of ready to get wet, besides a few.
An old challenge shows up like it was nobody's business and it is going to be the real first challenge of teamwork that's typical Total Drama madness.
I hope you have all got accquainted with these faces, as while there has been two additions in the previous part, these faces are going on for however long they survive in these isles.
Which if the man-eating sharks had their way, maybe not forever.
"Last time on Total Drama: Ultimate Islands, every contestant that wasn't eliminated in the first challenge and arrived after that participated in an USJ-inspired challenge!"
The footage was shown for the many contestants, including the new arrivals doing their thing in the second challenge.
"Everybody was collecting headbands, wherever they were owning the competition, losing their marbles or even giving the other teams theirs!"
Coachman and Pinstripe basically exploiting the challenge was shown, as was Mai and Johnny's pro gamer move and Darkness getting pushed by Heavy was shown.
"In the end, the Rugged Rhinos finally got first place and the Daring Deers finally got no-one sent home!"
Tanjiro doing his thing and Storm Shadow crossing over with him were also shown (despite it not even being written)
"However, the Striking Swordfishes and Crafty Crows lost pretty hard and four people got booted for not being super cool!"
Sokka's devstation was shown and the argument within the Crows were also there.
"We had to say goodbye to Joey, Johnny Bravo, Chloe Bourgeois and Lord Hater...and there's still a lot more episodes to deal with!"
The four faces that were on a boat that got launched off the campground island were shown seperately, being sad and all of that.
"Today's a new day and this day is where the dives come back to haunt the 115 remaining contestants! The zones are ready, but these contestants aren't!"
Chris was ready to do the business again.
"Find out all of that on Total Drama..."
The camera zoomed out to show the whole archipelago.
"...Ultimate Islands!"
Chris and Chef were toasting a drink to the 10th season of Total Drama, as the Rhinos' logo showed up on the board right besides the title of this weird 'ol season.
Dear mom and dad, I'm doing fine...
And right after the camera basically swung off them, the camera goes through the flat grounds and passes slowly by Hank Hill and Fred Flintstone, cooking the meats in two very different grillslike they were in a competition.
...you guys are on my mind...
Sammy was seen trying to chase a rat before Fred brung out the club to hat a rat and Tifa just stopped him from making the hit, probably for defense.
Sammy just dodged out of the way, as Tifa just sighed.
...you asked what I wanted to be...
Besides that the camera crept up to the top of the team's cabins, where there was two people standing with mean smiles and weapons of their own.
..And I think the answer is plain to see.
Azula held her fire and Harley Quinn readied her own bat, just as Mai climbed up for the cool factor and to swing her own fire with the fan and leaped in between them, leading to Azula and Harley just groan silently.
Mai had a genuine smile, though.
I wanna be famous!
Yumeko and Tron Bonne (with her Servbots watching, of course) were doing a RPS match on a outside table on a cliff, just as the former got her tenth win with a smug smile and the latter was angrily pouting, Servbots also comforting her.
I wanna live close to the sun...
And the camera went deep into the forest, who had Storm Shadow just running far ahead of the plucky Kristoff, who had a nervous smile on his face.
Weirdly enough, up in the trees, Squirrel Girl was there in the trees hanging out with her tail, but so was Clover, who was trying to hang onto a branch...but was pretty scared of falling.
...pack your bags, 'cause I've already won...
And the camera moved to the stage, where an uncoordinated quarter of people who could do musical stuff.
Iori was just angrily playing his bass silently, Rock was getting tripped on where to even play the guitar and Sol was just yelling it out on stage, right into the microphone, just happy to be there.
...everything to prove, nothing in my way...
Legoshi had headphones and heard the mess that the audience couldn't hear and he felt it down to his core and Muscle Man was swinging his white shirt around for the noise, Satori Tendou trying to make a sarcastic comment as Legoshi wasn't even what to say.
And in the mess hall, Sugar was just wolfing down her own food, as Carmelita was slowly eating hers...and Sugar took some without thinking, leading the Interpol officer to be miffed.
JFK was just talking about sexual exploits to an uninterested Gintoki, who was just looking at magazine that had a different kind of sexual exploit.
...I'll get there one day.
Just outside of the cabin hall, Lynn Loud threw the football long and this time, Pepper Ann was just outside the window trying to catch it...and it was a bit too long, hit Satori Tendou's stomach and broke the window
Everyone in there was looking at Pepper Ann, Tendou, the baseball and the broken window.
'Cause I wanna be famous!
Basil just found a quiet place to read some random books...under the dock, as the mouse got to quietly reading the doorstopper of a thing...and concidentally, The Coachman/Barker just happened to come back with a calm donkey and a evil smile.
NANANANANANA
All of a sudden, it was like tension's flared and then Shulk just sped on with his Monado art in to...look, as the two argued "calmly."
NANANANANANA
Shulk was just watching things calmly like it wasn't that big of a deal, as the two were starting to throw glares at each other.
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna be
Of course, there was some night time madness with Dante and Pinstripe, as the former just laid down the wood with backflips for extra style and the latter brang down the lighter with a smile.
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna be
Shulk and the two British men were just astounded at how badly that went at the two of them, even if the fire-starting duo were smiling with the teeth open.
Coachman just angrily laughed at Dante, who had a weird look on his face from a long-distance and...
...Shulk and Pinstripe was just shaking their heads in confusion.
Famous!
And uh, the now red-orange title reappeared over the fire that just kinda blew up in their faces, as Dante and Pinstripe were girnning a job that was done.
Even if the whole team just thought that they were dumb and the theme song finished.
The Crows...after going from winning to completely losing weren't exactly in the celebrating mood, eating their questionable breakfast and they were trying to get into a mood that wasn't down.
Or the good majority of them were there, as three of them were missing back at the cabin...doing something cool.
"Okay, two dumbasses are gone. We need some make sure that everyone's useful the next time around." Kageyama said.
"Damn, that's rude to the skeleton guy. He was just having some fun." Owen argued.
"He was burning down a tree. What kind of guy has fun burning down a tree?" Kipo asked, seriously not in the mood.
"I don't know!" Kageyama shouted.
"There's a gal who'd find that kind of fun." Shego said. "You didn't hear it from me, though."
"Hey, if you want to keep it private...leave it in the confessional." Owen told her the obvious, with Shego just shaking her head.
"I know, so I don't care." Shego remarked, rather bored of being mad. "Besides, what did you even do last challenge?"
"I carried a whole bunch of headbands that you didn't even know about!" Owen yelled, as Shego was just shaking her head and Noah was trying to cut his words on. "Yeah, you don't believe me!"
"Okay, Owen, we don't exactly have a plan to win." Noah said. "We need to do some co-operation."
"That...I'm good at." Nobara bumped Noah's shoulder.
"Good, we need quite a bit more people being good at things. Dumbass." Kageyama said, practically struggling through that sentence.
"I'm not a dumbass for existing." Nobara told Kageyama, being offended and all.
"Okay, okay, we may not be sure what to say, but we've got each other's skills and abilities and whatever it is you have!" Sandy shouted. "And I'm sorry that I didn't say much last challenge, but this challenge is going to be different and we should consider everybody in it."
"I wasn't even in the last episode apparently!" Sakura shouted. "But I did some business."
"Er...you got punched off the roof." Pit said. "I saw it in the sky."
"And I was there...hanging out, having fun times!" Soma exclaimed, as the two of them were chuckling with each other. "Kageyama, you didn't look too good."
"Shut up, you're a real dumb guy!"
The rest of the team that was still there, besides Mikasa and Tomo, were just looking at the two of them have a moment and Pit, Soma and Deadpool were just chuckling at Kageyama.
"Would you quit doing that. We lost because one of you guys likes to be annoying!" Kageyama shouted at Soma.
"Sorry, man." Soma remarked. "Don't worry about it, we'll figure out the teamwork."
*Giovanni Potage's confessional*
The pink-haired upcoming villain looked smug.
"Okay, this is a team where both bad guys and good guys are here to have some fun and we're not buckling down to anyone who wants to ruin our close crew!" Giovanni shouted. "That's right, we're tight!"
*Wario's confessional*
He was doing his business, almost oblivious to the camera.
"Oh yeah, Wario's confessional! Uh...Giovanni actually has the power of making soup, which is good...because Wario's looking for good food." Wario remarked.
*Confessional cut*
Sokka and Oikawa were both frazzled at the elimination, as Khun was just sitting there...doing some strategy talk and the rest were also hanging out in the giant mess hall.
"Damn it, we're not losing another bunch of people!" Sokka shouted. "Joey didn't deserve to get voted out like that."
"Honestly, this is a show where the people who least deserve to stay in consistently stay in." Khun said with a calm smile. "Why are you surprised?"
"Because neither card guy or Daphne deserve to be voted off, but..." Sokka sighed, not in a good mood.
"...someone has to go." Khun said, not really happy.
"Damn it, this competition has us thinking differently and not in a good way." Daphne said. "Like any of us could go at any time."
"Let's be honest, a lot of you could actually go..."
Askeladd had some words to say, as Bayonetta didn't really care.
"...unlike me, because as much as I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the money, I'm a warrior that can do things with a small bunch of people."
"What are you really doing, tough guy?" Oikawa asked Askeladd with a coy smile. "As much as I probably couldn't carry a sword, you probably never did things on your own."
"Yes. Man, what is your smile?" Askeladd asked.
"It's probably a cool smile, that's the real deal!" Lowain butted in with a smug grin. "Unlike this food, which is-"
Chef threw a glare at the fellow chef, who was actually struggling to eat and Oikawa, who just smiled with an empty mouth.
"-not doing a stomach wreck, no way."
"Like this blonde furry said, a real one." Oikawa remarked, as he got a look from a good chunk of the team.
"On what universe, does someone have to clarify a genuine smile?" Askeladd asked, as Oikawa got thrown off. "Besides that, I came here to win and this team isn't doing any winning."
"I think we're just getting used to each other. I doubt that the other teams are perfect, so all we can really do is some classic team adaptation...because we're a team of people that have one amazing skill that can work together to do things." Reigen told all of them, trying to bring some insight.
"Exactly, I didn't come to be on a team of losers!" Askeladd shouted.
"...I feel like the real problem is that you're...really egotistical." Reigen said, taken aback as an guy.
"I feel like we're just going off the rails. We're winning for Joey, okay!" Sokka exclaimed, as a good majority of the team were raising their hands. "Good, because in the Water Tribe...we do things."
"Not gonna lie, y'all just saying bangers, while I'm sitting here getting the glare." Lowain remarked, as the whole team was just chilling and hanging out with some more motivation.
*Amelia's confessional*
"I don't know what is with that Reigen man, but I don't think he's trustworthy." Amelia said, being very serious about things.
*Cassie Cage's confessional*
"As much as he's a wannabe psychic, he said some pretty good words and honestly, probably needed to say that for the team!" Cassie said, feeling pretty relaxed.
*Confessional cut*
Besides the two losing teams, the winning team was feeling pretty good about the next challenge...as did the two alliances that were housed within it that were doing their own things in the house.
Or a reward in the case of the first alliance.
"We're not fucking around! We're gonna make these other teams find out!" Harley shouted, feeling the power of a hot bath.
"I still don't have an idea what you're talking about-" Azula said with authority.
"It means that they mess around and we're going to show them what's up with our team!" Harley said with a smug smile.
"Yeah, I'm not going to say that." Azula said, her hair looking clean. "Though you can say it, though."
"Come on, that's how I run things." Tron Bonne remarked, basically chilling in the bath. "You mess around and they find out."
"Now, that's how I would put it. Being a team player hurts only when you're losing." Azula said.
"Hey, uh, there's going to be a new challenge today, so Rhinos, you're going to have to give up your reward today."
"Damn it, it's back to Chef's bad food." Mai grumbled, eating the good food. "Why can he cook so good?"
"It's the Total Drama experience, which sucks, but you can't change it." Yumeko said, not in a good mood.
"Well, we'll make it last." Azula remarked.
*Mai's confessional*
"I guess you could say that we're going to live in...normal life around these islands! Thank god, because the food from Chef is terrible." Mai said, with a confident smile.
The kunoichi looked around for anyone to be around her.
"At least I could say it.
*Confessional cut*
The other alliance was basically a truce, but someone knew what it was...as the leader of it was smugly sitting on a chair and the other person was smoking a pipe with not-so-trustful eyes.
Dante just walked in all casually.
"Hey, hey, calm down. I'm just here to stop you from being team wreckers." Dante said. "Though, it looks like it has stopped."
"Well, this is a truce and I think we're doing good for a truce!" Pinstripe exclaimed, combing his own hair.
"That's good to hear. You wanna make this thing an alliance?" Dante asked.
"Uh...it's your idea." Pinstripe remarked.
"Hey, why not? I think we've got a great set of people here to do some strategy!" Coachman asked, casually sitting on a chair. "The addition of this young man here would really set us apart in more ways that you'd think...for my plan."
"Is he always this onimous?" Dante asked casually.
"Yes, but he is not wrong. We'd be a great alliance...even if I don't think we're going to be friends." Basil was still reading a random book.
"Yeah, I can see that." Dante said. "Well, I'm joining this thing, wherever you like it or not."
"Considering everything about you, I think it would be a mistake to not have you here...besides, we do need more social people." Basil told Dante, as Shulk raised his thumbs up.
"Hey, this food is great!" Shulk shouted. "Sugar, can you please get your own?"
The blonde pageant star just shrugged, as she kept on eating her share of Shulk's small plate.
"Ah, the wonders of life." Coachman quipped, as Pinstripe just groaned.
*Dante's confessional*
"Aw yeah, new me, new alliance!" Dante was just flipping a coin. "Looks like wherever this coin points, it's going to be pretty fun on Total Drama!"
The coin landed in the toilet.
"Looks like this show's always full of surprises."
*Confessional cut*
All four teams had gotten done with their meal and the Deers were feeling pretty good about themselves, after not losing two more members to the slingshot yacht of elimination.
They may not have some good food, but they were sure safe.
"Man, Tanjiro was on some shit!" Riley shouted.
"...Is that a good thing?" Tanjiro asked, trying to understand the slang.
"Yeah, my nigga! You starting to breathe different and it's like you ain't even the same person who was repping your sister!" Riley said.
"Uh, thank you?"
Tanjiro just finished his food, not displeased, as Riley fistbumped him.
"Let's be honest, he doesn't have a clue what you're saying. But you did good these past few challenges!" Bugs butted in, finally saying something. "Eh, I wish I could've been way more useful."
"I think you were, though, it's just no-one would've seen you." Yuri complimented the rabbit that wasn't short on compliments.
"Thanks...I still don't know what you're doing, Dawn." Bugs said.
"The person that you share the house with is making you feel as though as your contribution." Dawn answered, a little bit sleepy. "I'm sorry for doing that."
"Yeah, you better be!" Bugs complained, as the rabbit was just eating an carrot.
"Man, don't get in his business, you witch." Tiana said, still suspicious of Dawn.
"I didn't mean to!" Dawn apologised. "I wouldn't even be able to turn you into any animal, even if I wanted to...which would hurt a lot."
"I know, but you're always doing something crazy weird." Tiana said, still feeling weird about the moon girl.
B just put his hand on Dawn, the silent guy looking a bit differently at her and Daisy was whispering to Luigi...who blushed as well.
"Don't worry about it, Luigi, I could be super wrong." Daisy just slapped Luigi on the back.
"Oh, I guess that's right." Luigi said, nervously laughing after that. "Hey, I think we can win this one!"
"I mean it's not impossible, we are incredibly capable of great things. Even in the first challenge, some of you had skills that would bring all of us further in this weird game...so it's best to show them off in this round." Tanya remarked, drinking some tea like it was nothing. "I have some of my own, too."
"Hey, keep it down..."
Tanya, Daisy and Luigi was looking at the wolfwalker (Irish version of werewolves, if you didn't know.)
"...I'm trying to think about last challenge." Robyn said, somehow carrying an immunity idol. "Also, I picked this thing up."
"Can I have it?" Tanya immediately asked.
"Sure, I don't want to get cursed!" Robyn gave the child soldier the idol.
"It's not-"
Tanya smiled evilly, though Robyn couldn't really tell.
"-oh, forget it, no-one's even listening to me." Penny Proud said. "At least I'm still here without any votes!"
*Tanya's confessional*
The blonde child soldier was still doing that smile.
"It's not really a curse. Letting someone else be voted off in my place is a very powerful thing." Tanya said.
*Ram's confessional*
The pink-haired maid had some choice words on Robyn's move.
"If I'm right, she just gave someone immunity from whatever mistakes that they did in the future. That is not really much of a good move." Ram stated.
*Confessional cut*
"Hey, campers, you guys ready for your first throwback challenge! Meet me up on the cliff in an hour with your swim clothes ready!"
Chris said that from his booth of announcement, Chef being there too.
"Man, some of these guys are going to be real excited about this one." Chris said.
"I dunno, some of them can't swim." Chef remarked. "Too bad for them, I guess."
"Yeah, too bad for them!" Chris chuckled.
While the hosts were just getting themselves up there with ease, the rest of the contestants were doing some good ol' speculating while walking up the hill.
"Hey, where were you two hanging out?!" Kageyama shouted.
"We were playing Smash Bros with my main, Shulk in the cabin!" Miko declared. "But this angel managed to beat me with Saki, who's too strong!"
"You should've dodged my awesome projectiles and lightning fast aerials! But you were awesome enough to almost beat four-to-five." Pit said.
"You know what to see what else I've got?" Miko asked.
"It's on!" Pit screamed. "on the cliff!"
"Just so you know, if you screw up, I'm gonna vote the both of you off." Kageyama said, as Sandy was trying to cut that talk out...with hand motions.
*Sandy's confessional*
"As much as I know what challenge this is, I think those two are going to be in the same basket...if you know what I mean." Sandy said, the squirrel looking more than ready.
*Confessional cut*
As for the winning team, four of the Rhinos were somehow way further up than they really should and they were both suspicious of each other...especially since some of them weren't the physical type.
"How did you get up here?" Azula asked Barker, who was sweating. "Looks like-"
"Oh, you know, when you're out searching for these things, you tend to find faster paths." Barker remarked smugly. "I'm guessing you don't have any."
"Honestly, I don't need any when I've got the whole team." Azula stated.
"Well, that's nice of you. I don't need the whole team anyways." Barker also stated.
"Okay, okay, can we just get along for a second?" Tron Bonne asked, also pretty tired.
"Yeah, I'm not looking to get eliminated!" Shulk said, finally turning off Monado Speed. "I hope you two were having a good talk."
Shulk and Tron Bonne saw the their respective alliance leaders' smug grin and decided the obvious...but luckily one of them actually backed down.
"Well, looks like we're going to get all of our acts together." Barker just readied his gloves. "Don't forget that I've got ways of sending you home if you don't do that."
Shulk just didn't say anything seeing the tension in the air, as Tron Bonne thought those words over in her head.
*Shulk's confessional*
"I don't think they had a good talk...maybe they even had a bad talk." Shulk said. "Like he said, this is for the whole team."
*Tron Bonne's confessional*
"Hold up, who is that old guy? He can't just say something like that every episode and get away with it like it's no big deal." Tron Bonne said. "What's he planning?"
*Confessional cut*
The cliff had a lot of grass on it and on the side of it, there was actually quite a few ledges to land on painfully, the sky was clear, the ocean water had a ring next to the cliff and there was an escalator for the cowards, of course.
"Welcome to the first of quite a few throwback challenges! The classic 100-foot dive down a cliff!" Chris announced. "I feel this is a pretty simple challenge..."
"Hah, you're wrong!" Deadpool whispered to Joseph. "Give me some dough."
"I'm a man of my word." Joseph, giving him some old dollars quietly.
"...you guys have to dive down this cliff and hit the safe zone ring! If you don't do that, you're going to meet these man-eating sharks!"
These sharks were just showing, though they were not numerous.
"Or if you're a chicken, you get to wear this hat that shows your shame! And of course, in the second part of the challenge...it will reduce your point count by the numbers of chickens that your team has!"
Most of the teams were actually paying attention
"Basically, get two chickens, you lose two points, 1 chicken, you lose a point and no chickens means you get the full fifty!" Chris announced. "Also, the Crafty Crows go first because they had the least points."
"So that means that the teams go in order of how many points they got in the last challenge. Interesting." Kipo said, quite loudly.
"I was going to say that! So, you get the honours of diving first." Chris said with quite a bit of annoyance, as Kipo was put on the spot with her swimsuit.
"Oh, okay." Kipo said...as she looked down at the cliff with the ring and sharks. "Looks good..."
Kipo may have been sweating, but she stepped back quite a few and then did a running dive off the cliff.
She was going down, down into the water and...she didn't miss the ring.
"Guys! The water's clean down here...for some reason!" Kipo shouted, swimming in the ring.
"The boat will come if you dive..."
Kipo saw the boat driven by someone that was defintiely seen on TV before, though he was wearing a red shirt.
"Hold up, does Brody have a boat lience thing?" Rock asked, considering that the surfer bro.
"...our guest Brody will drive you onto the beach! That's it for the explaination!"
"Yah, thanks, Chris!" Brody exclaimed with a megaphone, Kipo just stepping on. "I'm an intern apparently."
"...Hope he's gonna be okay." Rock said, knowing what the interns go through.
The thirty or so Crafty Crows were stepping up to the cliff, more than ready to take on many of the dives that were going to have to be required for them to win.
"Will these Crows finally find their inner winner or will their chickens count too much for them to make a comeback? Find out after the break!" Chris announced, as the camera cut to black.
To be continued in Part 2, where there's a lot of downward dives from the other teams and these contestants show off their unique skills in order to own the competition!
Or not, because this is a simple challenge and I'm so glad that the chapters are still content-packed and also shorter than any of the last episode's parts as of now!
Thanks 1602jaw and Memeking, I appreciate the reviews.
