Total Drama: Ultimate Islands!
Episode 5: Boating The Average!
Part 2: Beating Up Boats!
The three speedboat riders of each team were ready to take on the treachorous course and the rest of their rival teams...as they had strategies and powers to avoid the mines and Chef just not doing his job...yet.
This is the real start of the fourth challenge, so expect carnage, swimming and a whole bunch of bootleg-ish boats in this chapter and even some interesting character interactions.
"Welcome back to the fourth challenge of this Total Drama season, where these campers are trying to choose wisely!" Chris said...but only to the audience. (Fanfiction readers are included, too.)
There may have been 112 contestants that were doing their boat riding business, but there was definitely some choices that very easy to swallow...most of all, the Deers.
"I'm not really an expert on water combat." Tanya said. "But I'll shoot our enemies down into the water...hopefully alive!"
"Considering who the host is, that shouldn't be surprising." Sonja replied, ready to step onto the boat. "The speedboat needs some careful eyes and your eyes don't look careful."
"...Do you think-"
"Okay, it's me, Snake and Samus." Sonja told the whole team. "Does that sound good!"
"Uh, yeah. You're a team with the same letter in your name and you're pretty cool." Snufkin said, pretty casually. "Also, how does a speedboat work?"
The three of them weren't humouring the nomad's question, as the three soldiers were sitting confidently on the Daring Deers' speedboat and the rest were just watching them.
"What kind of question is that?!" Piccolo asked loudly.
"The question that needs to be answered." Snufkin said with a sly smile.
"Everyone knows it's a boat with a motor in it!"
"Thanks for that."
On the same side...the Swordfishes picked Sokka, Lowain and Cassie, considering that they'd probably brag about leading a bunch of beats...but the other teams weren't so smooth.
"Okay, that's two teams outta four. Rhinos, Crows, you guys got the speedboat players, right?" Chris announced, as the time limit was practically up. "Rhinos?"
"Dante, Sol and Azula...'cause it's pretty neutral." Tifa stated, gaining the ire of Pinstripe and Harley. "Hey, we've got a situation in our team now!"
"...Crows, you've got a better reason, right?"
Kyo and Kageyama looked like they had some regrets...as Mikasa looked confident in their choices.
"Despite how annoying the volleyball guy is, we came here to win!" Kyo shouted, as the whole team cheered for the trio. "And win is what we're doing!"
"Nice...the rest of your teams, get into your battle boats!"
While three of each team were racing each other to the goal, the rest of their team were actually hanging in said battle boats with their weapons ready and their powers on standby...ready to attack or protect
The waves were actually relatively quiet and the mines were ready to make this race harder for the three trios that were about to ride the waves.
The Rugged Rhinos: Dante, Sol & Azula
The Crafty Crows: Kyo, Kageyama & Mikasa
The Daring Deers: Solid Snake, Samus & Sonja
The Striking Swordfishes: Lowain, Sokka & Cassie
"Speedboat experts, you guys are going through the McLean course, the best boat course of all time!" Chef yelled. "Remember, you can't attack any other boats with your powers, but only protect your own damn boat!"
"That's original. Chris didn't tell us that." Snake remarked.
"Well, he sort of said that...if you wanna go there." Kageyama said with a sneaky smile.
"Shut up, you came here to win! Ready..."
Sonja was looking far ahead.
Mikasa was doing the same thing.
Lowain had a dirty smirk on his face.
And Dante had a smug grin on his.
"...GO!"
Chef made the starting shot, as the four teams revved up and they all sped off at wholly different speeds...ready to see their friends and enemies in striped battling boats.
The Swordfishes and the Rhinos' speedboat were speeding off together, ready to take on the advantage of speed or attempting to in Sokka's case.
The other two teams' speedboats didn't because Chris had a few tricks laid throughout the course...which included a lot of mines and the other boats.
"Let's friggin' go!" Sokka shouted.
"Okay, go where?" Cassie asked.
"To the end, obviously." Sokka remarked.
"There's just mines for the entire thing!" Cassie shouted, as Sokka actually looked ahead and saw a whole bunch of 'em. "Damn..."
"She told you, bro." Lowain was just letting his hair blow in the wind.
Cassie was on the controls with Lowain and Sokka riding shotgun, seeing passing by some mines and the other teams were having a decent time.
Dante and Azula were just grinning with confidence, as Sol was just taking in the waves and the absurd amount of mines...as the Rhinos still haven't lost anyone.
"Listen, guys, I don't care what you're doing, we came here to win...again, I guess." Sol said, borderline uninterested.
"Hell yeah, can't you be excited about getting the gold?!" Dante was letting the waves take him.
"The speed of this boat could take down any ship through pushing the waves...we just have the opportunity." Azula said, which got Sol driving as good as he could.
And the team that lost the most were looking confident, as Mikasa had her blades readied.
"I don't know how to drive this thing...so you do it." Kageyama told Kyo.
"Don't worry about it, I'm gonna." Kyo had a smirk on his face, blasting off at full force.
"Good, because they already started." Mikasa said, feeling the force of the speedboat.
Finally, the race got started with three soldiers, three warriors, three people that had black hair and three people that probably knew the sea well...besides Cassie Cage, but she knew how to drive.
All of the teams got some seperate kind of help and one of them was happy.
"Yeah, we shoot and we shoot good!" Heavy shouted.
"Er, is that all we're doing?" Amelia asked, practically trying to stop him from randomly shooting.
"Yes, it work 50% of the time...all of the time." Heavy boasted.
"I'm betting on that fifty percent." Amelia grumbled, as Reigen was just standing there. "Not sure what you're going to do."
"I'm going to keep up the mood and motivation...somehow." Reigen said with complete confidence, as the mines started to explode.
Their respective players in the speedboat were sure of one thing, as Cassie struggled to navigate smoothly around the after-waves of the mines and Lowain was just seatbelted in.
The bumps in the water basically made them fly for a moment before the boat.
"Whoa, this is enough fun for one furry guy!" Lowain shouted, a little bit nervous. "Uh, protection?"
"We're pretty much it." Amelia answered, though she couldn't be heard charging up her laser pistol and Heavy just unloaded into the water. "Also, what are you doing?"
"What you should be doing!" Heavy shouted with confidence, as he was shooting a few mines...actually blowing some of them up. "Stand back!"
Cassie stopped the boat before seeing an explosion straight out of a movie, as the other two were just excited to see some explosions...as some of the other teams were just looking at it.
"Are you sure this isn't the stupidest challenge ever?" Muscle Man asked. "Because this is awesome."
"Er-uh, this is like an action movie!" JFK shouted, ready to lob a bunch of random grenades in the water.
JFK, Muscle Man and Satori Tendou were just hanging out...as they were seeing some explosions behind them and a boat that was not their team, as the Deers were back on track...quickly.
"Wait, they're all soldiers...on a green boat?" Satori said.
"You know who else was on a green boat?" Muscle Man started up one of his jokes. "My mom!"
JFK just threw it randomly, as Satori groaned and Muscle Man threw a stink bomb into the water.
On the green boat, these soldiers were definitely observing the stink bomb get thrown and the grenades being lobbed at them and...Samus shot one of them with her paralyzer.
The explosion barely grazed her, but the boat was rode an grenade-caused wave...and said boat barely dodged a mine with a drift.
"Man, we almost had 'em!" JFK said. "Er-uh, we haven't got 'em!"
"Dang." Satori remarked with a goofy smile.
And the other team were just getting some kind of assistance from their teams' first battle boat trio...as the mines were even blowing up on their own with Kyo's boat in particular getting an awesome assist from the first boat.
Soma just threw...a rock at the mine, having a bit of a hunch about the mines and they exploded, allowing for his team's boat to ride across the now tumultous waves and Haida looked freaked out.
"Uh, that's not a wise idea." Haida said, a little bit nervous.
"Don't worry about it, they're dodging it alright." Soma remarked, as Haida looked at the boat which rode the waves.
The Crows' boat rode the waves in an epic way and The Rhinos' boat were actually handling pretty good with Dante drifting in cool ways and Sol cutting the fireballs and tennis balls of Luigi and Daisy.
"Luigi, let's get 'em!" Daisy shouted, as the red speedboat heard it.
Dante even saw some mines exploding on their own and he managed to ride those waves...before Piccolo threw some Ki out for fun...but Azula threw a fireball back.
"Wow, this show really gets into a fighting mood, huh?" Sol asked.
"What would you do for three million?" Azula asked right back.
The boat wasn't even out of the simple waters, as there was a blast that exploded in the water and it leapt up...with Dante whistling.
"Hang on tight!" Dante shouted, somehow angling the boat to ride the wave.
Their team's boat basically got a speed boost out of the Piccolo's battle boat range and those three were feeling pretty good about themselves, despite not stopping them.
*Piccolo's confessional*
"Yeah, we didn't stop them and we might have helped them, but we did go pretty crazy on that boat and those three must be pretty strong to...do that." Piccolo said, still having good vibes.
*Confessional cut*
The next section that the boats were going to have to survive was a little bit different, as Pepper Ann, Lynn and Clover were already overlooked and they weren't going to be no more.
"Nah, this is easy! We just need a baseball and a good pitch!" Lynn exclaimed.
"Aren't we all supposed to pitch in, though?" Pepper Ann asked, as Lynn chuckled. "Didn't mean to do that."
"Hey, we've all got baseballs, so let's go!" Clover exclaimed.
The three of them were standing proudly on their boat, as the Crows' boat of dark-haired people was still going at a pretty cool speed and Mikasa had her blades ready.
Clover threw the first of many baseballs, having a whole basket inside the boat for the baseballs and her and her teammates just kept on chucking...Kageyama not knowing how to handle them.
"Damn it, there's so many!" Kageyama was attempting to swat the baseballs off him and Mikasa was practically batting them away. "Fire guy, how the heck are you doing?"
"Come on, I'm getting hit too!" Kyo complained.
Kyo got a bit distracted, his team almost hitting a mine...but he did trigger it, as the three of them were hanging onto the boat that was riding a big wave forward.
As for Clovers' trio...they fell into the water from their own wave...as Clover just checked her hair and the other two were a little bit scared.
*Pepper Ann's confessional*
"I really hope we didn't just cause our teammates to lose...because that would be terrible." She said, a little bit scared.
*Confessional cut*
Speaking of their teammates...they were just getting Bayonetta and Askeladd basically throwing his sword out and it hitting the top of the speedboat.
"Hahaha, take that, white-haired guy." Askeladd laughed...as Bayonetta was shooting her gun. "Wait, why are you posing like that, woman?"
Bayonetta was actually just shooting out of her foot, legs up, belly down and practically doing some yoga.
"Because I want to...besides, I didn't just give them a present." Bayonetta said, pointing to Azula taking Askeladd's sword.
"Eh, I've got a whole bunch of swords like that." Askeladd took it in his stride...as Reigen was just throwing some grenade. "What is that?"
"A grenade, duh." Reigen said, as Sol threw it right back. "Yeah-"
The grenade did blow up in their faces.
*Reigen's confessional*
He did still have soot on his face.
"I'm not going to lie...that was actually funny." Reigen remarked.
*Confessional cut*
The other two boats just had each other as the competition, as they clanked with each other for a second and Sokka was eyeing Samus...and then looked somewhere else.
"Yeah, what are you looking at?" Sokka asked.
"Your sword." Samus said.
The two boats were somehow close enough for them to have some words exchanged...and also, the two other battle boats were just basically hanging out...because of the situation.
"Let's be honest, would you want to hurt your teammate?" Snufkin asked.
"Exactly!" Soos said. "Wait, I mean, no."
"Damn, imagine that." Gloria was just looking at the green-striped battle boat. "I'm gonna do a cannonball."
"Wait, what-" Judy couldn't stop the big hippo from making waves all over. "-How are they this big?"
"Man, this race is starting to have less explosions. Let's fix that!"
Chris' glee could actually be heard over the speedboats' radios and of course, the explosions started to come in on their own...as the mines were blowing up and underrated characters were getting their spotlight shown on them.
"Hold on, these things are blowing up on their own now?" Robyn asked.
"Yeah, the host is going buck wild with these mines." Uraraka said, a little bit nervous.
"That's fine."
"Wait, but it's not!"
Robyn, Uraraka and Aisling, stuck just being angry, were blown overboard...as their speedboat went past and things got awkward.
"Well, Chris finally lives up to his reputation. But..." Sonja noticed the random explosiosn. "...we've can't just dodge these!"
"It's not impossible, we just have to see what wave's coming and what mine's flashing." Snake said, having his binoculars ready.
"Good idea!" Sonja remarked, seeing a few more explosions.
The three soldiers of the Deers weren't the only ones getting rocked by the mine explosions, as the confident trio of the Swordfishes were just struggling to deal with the waves.
"No, you gotta go left!" Sokka shouted.
"I'm going left, but this wave won't let me!" Cassie complained.
Indeed it was, as there was a massive wave on their left that was practically sending them in another mine's range and they were trying to ride in the opposite direction.
"Yo, let's go!" Lowain shouted. "We've gotta ride this thing!"
"I know, just give me a moment!" Cassie shouted...
...just before the boat got rocked by an mine explosion forwards, accidentally helping them.
*Lowain's confessional*
"I can't believe these waves were crashin' into each other! I think I might have seen our next battle boat too, dang." The dude with the furry ears exclaimed, as the guy looked determined.
*Confessional cut*
Speaking of their battle boat, Arle and Mr. Smee were both somehow holding up good on their own...despite all reason.
"Wait, can't you put ice?" Smee asked Arle, who just shook her head. "But we're supposed to block them."
"Hold on, I'm putting in some freeze!" Arle said, focusing the ice into one specific area.
It was floating and of course, while Kyo and Kageyama were smugly drifting sideways...Mikasa just jumped and cut it in half, as Arle looked shocked at the cut ice.
"Well, they're already having enough trouble." Smee remarked, a little nervous.
"Really?!" Arle said, still stunned from the ice cut.
The Rhinos were having fun in contrast.
"Hell yeah, it's time to get serious 'round here." Sol boasted, just taking the challenge in his stride.
"Tell 'em that Dante's got this!" Dante basically drove this thing like he had infinite insurance, swerving around mines and all. "Azula, you're firing this thing up?"
"Why are you two taking this challenge so lightly?!" Azula shouted, the mines still exploding around them. "And that would only hurt us anyways."
Dante and Sol scoffed, considering that they were ridiculously strong in their own right compared to Azula, as their boat was swerving around the many explosions.
Thankfully, Chris ran out of mines in the next sections, though that was more out of mercy than anything, as two boats were actually ahead of the others and they both had members glaring at each other.
"The Rhinos and The Swordfishes' speedboats are kinda tied and they're not letting up. Just look at their faces!"
Azula and Sokka were giving each other some serious smiles, through sheer determination and probably good eyes too.
"The Deers are in third and the Crows are in last...but the race is just getting started!"
The soldiers and a bounty hunter were observing their enemy from a distance...as Joseph Joestar, Heavy and Kasumi Todoh weren't ready to be trifled with their powers.
Sokka even saw a goofy thumbs up from Joseph...as he pointed straight ahead, leaving the rest to deal with a Hamon user, a fighter and a big muscular Russian.
"Why you throwing toy? Gun is better solution." Heavy said, carrying an replica of Sasha. "Still doesn't compare."
"Well, watch this!"
Joseph just threw his clackers out there with an impressed expression, spinning in the air without any momentum.
"Nice power."
The clackers went directly to one of the boats, who was just speeding by with Samus unloading her electricified whip on the speeding clackers...as they both traded...but Heavy had the gun on lock, shooting at both the Rhinos and Deers' speedboats with blanks.
And of course, Sonja didn't want any of that.
"How the-" Sonja couldn't even say a word before getting hit by a blank. "-This is serious!"
"I don't even know how we're going to dodge this. Sonja actually got hit." Snake shouted. "Never mind, he ran out of ammo."
Heavy just saw the effects of his shooting, as Joseph Joestar just got his clackers hitting on the Crows speedboat's windshield and it hit hard.
"Where did all this glass come from?!" Kyo asked, as he burnt some of the glass. "This show, damn..."
"I think we might be okay." Kageyama said, a little shocked. "Guys, you good?"
"Not exactly, got some glass on my arm." Mikasa just wiped it away, as Kyo got back on track.
*Joseph's confessional*
"What the hell, are they actually all okay? Must be, because they're still racing on through!" Joseph shouted, a little bit scared. "Anyways, I think that worked."
*Confessional cut*
"The Swordfishes are still in the lead, by the way..." Chris remarked. "Someone should take care of that."
Azula decided to take on the Swordfishes on...making a fireball to make some space between her speedboat and Sokka's speedboat and both boats look determined to improve their position.
As for the other battle boat that was in the position, as they were taken aback by Heavy's shooting...rather literally, though.
"Honest to god, I hope he gets some sleep." Tiana said, just guessing.
"How the heck do you know that he's tired?" Soos asked.
"I just don't know, I just said it." Tiana said.
"Real talk, that makes a lot of sense." Luigi was just peeping up from the side of the boat...as the other two looked at him.
*Luigi's confessional*
He did see some of his contestants go through it.
"Whew, imagine if I drove that...things wouldn't be good that I can tell you." Luigi said. "But they look alright."
*Confessional cut*
"Maybe the mines don't have to instantly explode, because these battle boats are going the hell off!" Chris shouted, chuckling after saying that.
The boats were still in a pretty tight race after that, as they were entering into some kind of weird chicane with only a few mines, but they contained some deadly players that were waiting to get the spotlight.
"You know what, I think we can get 'em close!" Harley Quinn spun her bat. "Because I've been waiting to use this thing forever!"
"I'm not going to lie...we're in boats." Tron Bonne remarked.
"I don't care that we're in a boat, I'm swinging!"
"Don't be surprised if we don't hit." Tron Bonne said.
"Hey, they're coming in..." Yumeko noticed the Swordfish's speedboat. "...Uh, we have to do something."
Lowain had a smirk on his face after surviving the first three sections, as Cassie was in the driving seat and the Sokka stuck his tongue for Harley Quinn...as Harley swung and literally got herself into the water and Tron Bonne missed with the rocket launcher.
But she didn't miss the mark with denting the thing and making the steering off for Cassie.
"Haha, suckers!" Harley shouted, as Cassie definitely noticed the oversteering. "Take that, fish guys!"
Deadpool, Pit and Miko were all hanging together and this time, they clearly managed to notice the next boat that came to them wasn't their team and heck, were practically enemies to them.
"Hey, whoa, whoa, what are you two doing?" Deadpool had his katanas out.
"We're firing our arrows at the Rhinos!" Pit exclaimed.
"That's right, I got some arrows too. Thanks to Pit!" Miko said, just basking in the good mood.
"Oh...I get it."
Pit and Miko actually looked at Deadpool for a second, before firing their arrows at the balanced trio of the Rhinos...who were just taking the outside of the chicane.
"Yeah, I'm not interested." Sol remarked, before pulling his mechanical sword out and just swinging at the arrows. "Look, we're just getting ahead."
The Rhinos were speeding off, as The Swordfishes actually got a speed boost from their friends, as Tails just threw his teammates' a speed booster and Reg gave them a thumbs up.
"Yo, let's goooo!" Lowain shouted, feeling the extra speed from the side.
And the Crows were just navigating the corners on their own, not helped by Donkey Kong throwing a barrel at them and it hitting them with a strong wave...as Kyo was sloppily steering.
"Mikasa, can you drive this?" Kyo asked.
"I mean I can't." Mikasa answered. "But I'm trying my best out here."
"Well, try some more!" Kyo just switched positions.
"Oooh, look at that...looks like the strongest girl on the team can't handle her speedboat despite being in the winning team! Cassie's definitely trying her speed for the Swordfishes in second and man, Sol's being cool in third...but he's still in the danger zone and Samus having problems being in last...but there's still a lot more in the race after the break!" Chris summarised all of the teams' situation at the moment in the words. "Total Drama: Ultimate Islands will be back after these messages!"
To be continued in the third part, where these teams of boat weapon players were ready to make things a bit more spicy...since they're more spicy characters.
By the way, I kinda cut this chapter short, but I hope it's well worth the wait...because like Chris said, the race is just getting started and here's the positions for these teams:
The Crafty Crows (Kyo Kusangai, Tobio Kageyama & Mikasa Ackermann): 1st
The Striking Swordfishes (Cassie Cage, Sokka & Lowain): 2nd
The Rugged Rhinos (Dante, Sol Badguy & Azula): 3rd
The Daring Deers (Sonja, Samus Aran & Solid Snake): 4th
