Total Drama: Ultimate Islands!
Episode 8: Somewhat Famous
Part 3: Small Screen, Big Stage!
Actual acts, four unseen judges and at least twenty of those actual acts to boot...so who's going to win out on this challenge and win the judges that are definitely not from other worlds!
Or got isekai'd or at the very least, goddesses who do it for free and for food!
There's many things to happen in this part including a few of those "funny" moments that would only hurt, so read this!
Random author's note: Watch Link Click and Kaiji...that's about it and also, I want to put out chapters faster, but this ain't one of those chapter with an easy-to-write challenge!
Chris was on the stage and the lights were off, as Legoshi turned them on and then ran for his team's backstage area...which was massive to boot, but the host was smiling cleanly in his flashy as hell suit
"Welcome to the Total Drama Talent Show, where our teams are going to impress Grandmaster Chef and his new posse of the four ladies with attitude!"
Chef nodded confidently, as he was sitting in the judge's seat.
"First up, a friend of one of the contestants and also...a goddess. Give it for Aqua..."
Aqua was a young-looking girl goddess with long light blue hair having a loop at the top and some tuft to the left and she had white skin.
She wore a blue dress with a frilly skirt, white seperated sleeves, long white socks and blue shoes.
The goddess was just drinking some of that beer, that the next lady in line made disappear with her mostly blue staff.
"Palutena, why did ya do that?!" Aqua complained.
"...And secondly, we've got another goddess and one of the contestants' step-mom or master or whatever, Palutena!"
Palutena was definitely the most goddess-looking of the three goddesses, having long green hair, light skin and being pretty tall.
She wore a long white dress with two layers and a slit, her sun necklace, old-style high heels, gold bangles, a massive shield on her right arm, two belts and a shit-ton of jewellry, even down to her head crown.
"Because you're already drunk enough." Palutena said, as Aqua whined. "We're here to do a job."
"Yeah, that's your problem-" Aqua got stopped by Chef, who just took the bottle away. "-Fine."
"I mean, you've got a billion...money, show some respect for our hosts." The third goddess in line stated.
"And another goddess and kinda young, Ristarte!"
Ristarte actually had her breasts covered up with her white dress, being slightly shorter than Aqua and had long blonde hair with a massive bow.
She wore a white dress with seperated sleeves and a belt, sandals with long straps...and some hat.
"Wow, I want whatever Noah's girlfriend is-" Ristarte stopped...mostly because of a frying pain almost hitting her. "-Just because you got eliminated, doesn't mean you can do that."
"...and finally, the princess with a frying pan and eliminated from the competition, Rapunzel!"
"Oh my god, it's her!" Owen yelled from a distance.
"Look, from where I'm setting, you two are kinda similar." Rapunzel remarked, as Aqua and Ristarte glared at each other. "Come on, Chris is talking."
"Together with Chef, these five judges will judges wherever the talents is there or not in each team's set of acts and you know, wherever they bail or not!" Chris announced, as the five judges' numbers lit up, probably showing whatever points that the act had gotten. "Alright, we've got...twenty-two acts happenin' and these teams will really show what they're made of..."
The acts that were going to be up there...were either mostly nervous, mostly confident or mostly trying to do some other stuff for time, as Chris was really getting this thing rolling.
"Wait, we're doing what?!" Riku said.
"We're doing some improv-skit thing." Deadpool said, as Papyrus gave the thumbs up. "Me, Papyrus and Soma are 'bout to do some crazy stuff."
"Yeah...I've got a whole thing going with Darkness, ironically nick-named...of blade-to-blade duels." Riku was pointing to Darkness just missing a whole lot of hits.
"Alright, suit yourself!" Deadpool remarked.
Back on the actual stage...
"First up, we've got the cook, the skeleton and the masked guy performing a skit about spaghetti. Give it up for Soma, Papyrus and Deadpool doing a comedy thing!"
These three were on stage and a whole plate of spaghetti that looked normal.
"The greatest plate of Spaghetti, ever!" Papyrus shouted. "The Great Papyrus deserves such a good meal...after three months of fighting the bad guys..." The skeleton winked his eyes. "...the ultimate meal is upon me!"
Deadpool walked in with swagger and confidence with Soma walking right back with the special ingredient.
"Wait, what do you want! This is perfect already!" Papyrus was kinda angry.
"Er-uh, it's more perfect with this squid sauce thing." Deadpool remarked, as Soma was just chuckling. "It's good."
Deadpool and Soma were both smiling, as Papyrus was just pushing away the squid that was immaculately put on the plate and he tried eating it with the squid sauce and other squid stuff.
Ten seconds had passed, as Deadpool and Soma were looking in anticipation with whatever Papyrus had dreaded, if the skeleton's ugly face was showing anything.
"Oh no..." Papyrus just kinda fell down.
"Do you like it?" Soma asked.
"NO!" Papyrus immediately answered, as he ran away. "Why did you ruin the spaghetti!"
"Yeah, don't worry, there's more squid to come!" Soma shouted, as Deadpool bowed.
"I said one line and I still got something!" Deadpool said...right before he got pushed off-stage. "Hear that judges, that's a one-liner!"
Chris was back on stage with confidence, pushing the merc with a mouth off the stage to do one thing.
"That was definitely a skit, so let's see what our judges thought of that!"
The numbers came up and they weren't too bad...nor that good either.
Palutena, Ristarte and Rapunzel gave a 6, Chef actually gave a 4, while Aqua gave an 9 for reasons that were pretty obvious.
"Okay, these three skit guys got 31/50 for the Crows...so the next act ain't from the Crows! We've got these two Swordfishes with Kasumi and Nicole doing some martial arts!" Chris announced.
The curtain may not have closed and Genos just pushed the table off the stage like it wasn't a big deal, as the next duo were about to do some defending.
Well, Kasumi was about to defend.
"Listen up, if you want to defend yourself, do this!" Kasumi declared with intent, Nicole running in and doing a leaping kick.
And then she stopped it with a grab to counter the kick...essentially throwing Nicole off literally.
"But there's still more!" Kasumi shouted, as Nicole went back in with a strong punch...before grabbing her hand and putting her down to the floor. "Do this, if you want strength!"
Nicole got right back up, backflipping into her fighting stance...before doing a roundhouse that got stopped by a grab, then her being laid down and Kasumi bringing down the slap.
"Ow, really?" Nicole asked, getting right back up.
"Yes, really!" Kasumi shouted. "With the Todoh style-"
"Alright, that's enough, let's see what our five judges think of some Japanese self-defense." Chris stated, as the numbers were being counted up and they came up to about 30, most of which coming from Chef. "Oooh, just barely losing to squid."
"I appreciate some self-defense up in here, that's it!" Chef yelled, giving the 8.
"I like the moves that they did...even if they're scary." Rapunzel said, a little bit apphrensive with her 7.
"I don't need self-defense, I'm strong." Aqua raised a 4, as the other judges raised an eyebrow.
"Alright, that's over...now it's on to some breakdancing Deers, of the big hearted kind!" Chris ignored Kasumi holding back Nicole's anger with her grab. "Daisy and Luigi's gonna break it down!"
The two of them were just coming out on stage, wearing custom hoodies and getting into the b-boy stance to start rocking their moves around, even doing a single backflip.
Daisy did a quick handstand that went alright, while Luigi started up his headspin and he really started spinning on his own...out of control, as well, as Daisy tried to stop the headspin from actually moving.
Luigi was still doing the headspin, though and it was moving with some impressive speed as well, so Daisy actually stopped it with her hands...and then got knocked down with Luigi.
Luigi and Daisy were laying down.
"Nice moves...what's the numbers?" Chris held back some chuckles, as it was all two...except from Aqua and Chef, who gave threes. "Dang, these two Daring Deers have got twelve."
"I shouldn't have done that!" Luigi ran off-stage, practically scared of elimination.
"Wait, Luigi!" Daisy ran after Luigi.
"Man, these guys aren't catching a break, but finally, we've got the winning team on lock and they're starting off strong with Azula and Mai doing some dancing and fighting...with fire too." Chris remarked, as the two of them were already standing there. "I'm pretty sure you're not a ninja!"
"And you're definitely not perceptive." Athena got an remark on Chris, who just left the stage in a huff. "Your arts are nothing compared to my Firebending skills."
"The Shiranui ninja arts aren't going to be taken down by some princess." Mai taunted Azula.
With the equal taunts of the way, Mai and Azula started their dance of fire, using their moves to do a fighting dance in the night, starting with some simple kick.
That was in sync, as Mai looked at Azula with intent, them both of them circling around each other before each firing a fireball at the same time to ensure that they both disspated into hot air.
After that, they both did a strong overhead kick, trying to catch each other out with some lackluster moves...Mai doing a cartwheel into her Hissatsu Shinobu Bachi (read: the flying elbow) and Azula dodging it with a proud smile into a fiery jumping roundhouse.
And Mai managed to roll away from that, as the fire didn't even light anything on fire...but it could easily be felt from a distance.
It was precise move after precise move, the two of them not trying to one-up each other in moves...but one-up the other teams with their display of moves not hitting each other, before the both of them smashing their elbows together with some lightning and fire coming out of them.
"Woo, I wonder how many these two are going to get..." Chris announced. "38! There's two nines, a six and two sevens, so...the Rhinos are off to a good start...remember, the teams' points all count together, so it's not over until it's over, dudes!"
*Luigi's confessional*
"I don't know what's an obituary, but I really messed that up...and I hope that I don't get voted off for that." Luigi said, as the guy was nervous. "Worse things probably wouldn't come along."
*Confessionalcut*
The first four acts and the fifth was actually underway (Michiru and Tiny Tina doing the explosive baseball hit), as Legoshi and Pepper Ann were coincidentally hanging out together...the former wearing sunglasses, and all black leather.
"Why are you so sad?" Pepper Ann asked. "Our team's beating the rest."
"Yeah, but at the same time, I know that one of our teammates lost because of someone being careless. They're also the one who told another guy to slice the crown." Legoshi answered.
"Yeah, that's a lot." Pepper Ann said, not sure what to say. "The green guy told me that you were acting."
"Well, it's nothing big." Legoshi said. "...Wait, I've got a girlfriend!"
"And I'm 12...we're just talking as teammates." Pepper Ann stated. "Do your best, okay?"
"What are you talking about? You're the main guy!" Muscle Man exclaimed. "Now, let's go!"
"Dang the Crows exploded their baseball, but what did the judges think?34 points apparently, must have been some crazy stuff!" Chris announced, before the three of them were ready.
Muscle Man and Legoshi was all up for the second act with Kristoff saying some words. (that hasn't been written down yet) of their team...as the next act was on display.
Samus got on stage, Zero Suit and all and let's just say that a lot of people appreciate the suit...which was good, because she was about to do a dance of the electric whip.
Her combination of her own flips, sideflips and cartwheels, as the electric whip spun all around her with some serious expertise, her flexibility and prowess of the electric whip on display on that stage.
She even did some sort of pirouette with the whip getting pretty close to her body at times, but she did managed to bring the whip skills into one final gymnastic-style series of flips before landing.
"Not a problem." Samus remarked.
"And Samus goes and spins her stuff electrically! Let's see what the judges bring...40 points and every one of them gives an 8!" Chris announced. "These acts are coming fast and quick, like Sokka and Lowain doing a blade and knife duel for the Swordfishes!"
They both came in here, as they were running in with their blades undrawn and they hits clashed proudly.
"Stop doing bad things, cook guy! You're not a big head!" Sokka shouted.
"Brah, my head's fine! You're just defending the man from their crimes and whatever!" Lowain defended himself.
Sokka was government dude and Lowain was not government dude (as written on their paper sashes), as they were clashing with their blades in a classic sword fight for the ages, duel-wielding against one blade.
Slashes were hitting slashes, the two swords were clashing for a good while, Lowain even doing the 80s slide under one of Sokka's swings and went for the leg..before Sokka countered that with a sword stab.
A play fight of sword and knives that was actually ending with both of them being equals and the two of them breathing.
"Man...you're pretty strong, but how did you get pretty strong?" Sokka asked with a smirk.
"I had a couple of homies train me...man, what are you doing with those guys?" Lowain asked. "They probably spat you out or something."
Sokka and Lowain bowed.
"Until next time, man." Sokka waved him off.
"That's cliche, homie!" Lowain shouted.
"Whatever that was, these two brought their sword game into action and man, they've got about 36 more points to their team, giving them 66 in total right now, beating the Deers' 52...but not beating the Crows' 69 points!"
"Nice!" Joseph shouted from the bleachers, before getting 'the look' from Oikawa. "Not nice."
"Okay, we're at least second...whoever's next probably sucks." Oikawa said. "I've got some good guessing."
"The Rhinos are...doing whatever they're doing with Kristoff announcing, while Muscle Man and Legoshi do some introduction thing!" Chris announced, as Kristoff had another microphone and a confused look on his face.
Kristoff just sighed as hard as he could.
"In a world that's all bark and no bite and in a place that brings the claws out of everybody, there's one wolf that could take them all on with his hands and big feet?" Kristoff announced, as the ice cutter knew that things were bad. "It's Legoshi The Man, a wolf so manly that he's a honourary man."
Legoshi stepped out on stage, a little bit spooked under his cool shades and ready to do some stage fighting, as Muscle Man came in with a leaping kick from the side.
"Oh, what's this? A badass? Yeah, right!" Muscle Man acted out the part.
"...What did you say?" Legoshi asked, clearly feigning the tough guy act.
"I said that, bro? You wanna throw down?" Muscle Man was just pulling out the mis-timed kicks...before stepping unawares.
"Sure." Legoshi said...
...right before Muscle Man got a foot in a hole and broke his nose, with Legoshi flustered.
"Oh god, call somebody!" Muscle Man shouted, as Legoshi looked plain confused. "Man, this is weak."
"Don't worry about it, we're gonna get you ready!" Legoshi exclaimed, as the grey wolf carried Muscle Man off-stage. "I beat him?"
"He sure did with his raw strength, claws and kicks." Kristoff was very much apphrensive. "Thank you for watching that happen."
The curtain closed and the host was back on stage.
"Man, it's like skit night and let's see what our judges think of it!" Chris was just trying to hold back laughter. "They gave only 19, but the ratings are very different!"
"...I would've rated it lower, but that green guy tripping up and everyone just going with it actually makes it funnier-" Aqua wanted to continue her explaination, being the only seven in there.
"Shut up, it's serious!" Muscle Man shouted in pain.
"Okay, clearly, we might need a break before the rest of these teams' acts are shown...wherever they're fillers or killers, DJ Grandmaster Chef and his posse are going to find out!" Chris exclaimed, ignoring the contestant that was bleeding and just going to do...whatever he wanted to do.
"Woo, that stage definitely has some holes in it...I still don't know how you got caught in it, though." Hank questioned Muscle Man.
"Yeah, what about it!" Muscle Man shouted back. "It only hurt a bit."
"Look, you may have messed it up, but it definitely was the stage's fault." Tifa reassured the guy. "Nothing we can do."
"Okay, make it up for me!" Muscle Man exclaimed. "Didn't even hurt that bad."
"Cool, all of us need to do something. Our teammates may have messed up their act, but we can keep on with the winning acts!" Tifa shouted.
"I have a good suggestion..." Coachman smugly remarked, before getting slapped by Legoshi. "...We could replace one act with another."
The small chunk of the team that was just off the bleachers looked at him with confusion, as Tifa continued where she left off and Coachman grumbled towards the toilets.
"Our acts could be the best, if we work our best!" Tifa shouted. "If you don't, I promise that you'll get voted for. Sound good?"
The good majority of the team nodded to that decent reasoning, as Muscle Man got carried by Hank to wherever or whoever the
"Okay, let's keep on going!" Tifa exclaimed, as Shulk came up to her. "Nothing's wrong here."
"Yeah, I just wanted to check..." Shulk nervously said, before walking back to the bleachers. "...besides Donkey Kong going crazy."
"Alright, Donkey Kong's about to sing about this show!" Chris shouted from the stage that they weren't looking at.
"Hopefully, he means going ape-crazy." Tifa remarked, before hearing a singing voice. "Is that the monkey...because he actually sings good."
"That's what I meant." Shulk told Tifa, as the two of them was a little bit nervous. "What the heck is he singing about?"
"Probably Total Drama or something like that." Clover said. "Which is dumb, by the way!"
Donkey Kong was actually up first and he, indeed, was singing about Total Drama and all of its' dramatics, situations and the history of it and he was near the end of it.
"In this show of drama or romance, I've got people that want to see me go down...but you know what's cool, is not being a fool!" Donkey Kong sang proudly. "A hundred thousand or three million, Total Drama brings people...together!"
Donkey Kong just dropped the microphone like it was nothing.
"Donkey Kong, ladies and gentleman...he sang mostly in facts, so let's see what the judges have to say!" Chris announced, before the score came up. "33 for that song, 'cause you really know how Total Drama is..."
"DK, man, you ain't seen Total Drama if you think this bonds anything!" Chef shouted.
"Alright, we've got another one from the bottom team, as there's a bad boy crowing to be part of the winning team...with Riku helping out!" Chris announced.
*Riku's confessional*
"I was going to do some sword tricks, but then Dante took that and there's no skateboard, so...I'm going to help my teammates out! Giovanni's not ready for me!" Riku smirked.
*Confessional cut*
Riku was just standing there, waiting for the red-haired self-proclaimed villain to teleport in and throw him some of that soupy stuff his way, practically spinning his keyblade...or attempting to.
But the wait was getting a bit too long.
"Come on, this isn't funny." Riku said. "The judges aren't going to be-"
Then there was smoke and Giovanni teleporting in like a badass and throwing a strong punch out of nowhere.
"Teleports behind you! Hey, guys, you need a villain!" Giovanni exclaimed. "I've got some villain moves right here!"
He did a smoky jump, as Riku tried to catch him...before the villain landed with kick to the head that Riku barely dodged.
"I thought we were acting!" Riku got freaked out, as Giovanni continued on. "I'm pretty sure that's soup."
"Nah, it's Lav-Acid!" Giovanni shouted, throwing the thing directly towards Chef's mouth. "Took me a while to name and it's hot!"
"Yeah, it's soup! Damn good soup, too!" Chef shouted, as Giovanni just groaned at the grandmaster.
"Shut up, I had more tricks, but I gotta...disappear!" Giovanni just poofed outta there before the host came in...and Riku got healed a bit. "Take care, Lightkid?"
"Uh, it's definitely a unique thing!" Chris announced. "Judges, what do you think of it?"
The ratings were divisive, as there was real highs and real lows with the five judges, which actually added up to.
"35, most of which coming from Chef and Ristarte!"
"Are you sure he's a villain, because he sounds like a anti-hero sorta dude." Ristarte remarked, as Giovanni shouted at her. "You got a nine, be happy."
"Okay...uh, will the Swordfishes not have something weird?" Chris then saw a pole that got carried by the next talent bringer. "I don't what I expected, but I hope you're good at it."
Chris went off, as Min Min ran on with respect and a bow.
"Thank you, Chris McLean! My name's Min Min and my arms can stretch so far that they could grab objects from the other side of this rope!" Min Min declared, as the ramen-haired lady was just charging her stretchy arms.
The thick pole wasn't really that lengthy, but Min Min was ready to do her thing of reaching the piece of paper at the end of it.
And she let them go, letting them go as far as they could until they reached the end of the pole and then she had to do the uncomfortable job to trying to find the folded paper on the other side.
It did take a little bit, as Min Min did feel something and snatched it right away, prepared for the recoil that would hit her on the way back...as she had the arm and the piece of paper.
She pulled it back confidently, ready to do a backflip on the recoil...but it came back fast enough that her backflip became two backflips and she still landed on her feet.
It wasn't a great landing, but she had the thing and the paper.
"Thank you very much!" Min Min bowed, as she went off the stage.
Chris went back on stage.
"That wasn't that weird, but what did the judges think of it?" Chris saw the numbers. "Huh, just 32, which ain't bad. What else does the winning team have...besides Dante doing some sword tricks with some guy!"
"Hell yeah, Chris! Stand back." Dante said.
"What, is waiting too much?" Chris grumbled, as he left the stage.
The white-haired demon hunter just got it started, spinning his iconic sword around his own arms and then practically juggling it around his two hands like it wasn't a big deal.
The thing was even being juggled in the air, as Dante just kept on doing it with a smile, even doing a casual walk while juggling his sword and the guy handed it off to someone, who wanted to keep it.
Pinstripe Potoroo was definitely that guy, though he got spooked by the sword coming down and he caught it and spun it rather awkwardly in his two hands before swinging it back to Dante, who literally moonwalked and caught it perfectly.
And then Dante swung it back to Pinstripe, who was spinning it in his hand before passing it back to the demon hunter, who just did the same and put it down.
"How's that for an performance?" Pinstripe asked proudly.
These two went off with their special talent.
"And there it goes, these two with their badass juggling! What do these judges think of the jugglers? These two got 41 points from our awesome judges!"
"I mean, that was some kind of circus trick that got better and better!" Rapunzel shouted, raising an 10. "Must have been practicing for years."
"Yeah, they don't play around and ain't playing around!" Chef shouted.
"Alright, we've got several more acts as these Rhinos have 98 points tying with the Swordfishes, but the Deers are in third with 88 points and the Crows lead with 102, so who's taking the lead...we'll be taking a short break!" Chris announced, as the host was just enjoying his presence of stage and the time in between the other acts.
Noah looked very much surprised, as Kyo and Kageyama were confident in one thing.
"Seriously, how are we winning? Our acts aren't exactly the greatest, heck, some of them almost suck." Noah said.
"Easy. The judges recognised our own skills." Kageyama said, as Kyo smirked. "Even if they're dumbass skills."
"Are you sure it's that?" Noah raised an eyebrow.
"I mean, what else could it be! You don't even have an act!" Kageyama shouted at Noah.
"Geez, don't worry your butt about it...if no-one on our team flounders, we'll still win this." Noah remarked, as Sandy joined the boys' club. "Hey, squirrel scientist, what have you got?"
"...Not much, but I've got someone to vote for if we lose." Sandy stated, as Noah didn't look that surprised. "I mean Haida doesn't much strategy-wise...but then Tiny Tina's a literal wildcard, so-"
"Tiny Tina easily. She's scary and would probably go for some crazy wild, while Haida would be easy to influence." Noah remarked, as Sandy raised an eyebrow.
"Are you sure she wouldn't be influenced? She has one really good talent and be a strong player for our team." Sandy said.
"I don't know, but it's quite a bit more likely. Plus Haida could have some kind of hidden talent." Noah explained, dryly.
"Just because she's a little crazy in the head? She could be crazy in the game." Kyo added to the squirrel's argument. "Dude's boring."
"Oh sure, let the mentally unstable explosives expert ruin some challenge in the future. With-" Noah dryly stated, as Kageyama was very much angry.
"What does Papyrus even do?! Okay!" Kageyama shouted at the three of them, who were thinking it over. "He's kinda strong, but he's also a very annoying dumbass. Those two aren't annoying or a dumbass."
Kyo, Sandy and Noah were looking at him, as they were a bit surprised to see somem kind of reasonable suggestion.
"Cool, glad we agree." Kageyama said, stomping off in a huff. "I'm gonna go to the toilet."
"Uh, see you." Kyo remarked with a grin.
*Noah's confessional*
"Kageyama's got a good point, as much as those two could be easy eliminations when the time comes, Papyrus would be first...mostly because he annoys some contestant and considering he doesn't do much...yeah if we lose, he's gone." Noah said. "Where did that come from, though?"
*Kageyama's confessional*
"So, I was just doing the run thing with Eva, she was just talking a buttload of nonsense like usual, when this guy comes up out of nowhere with spaghetti, tripped up and just got it over some people's face! Besides those two can do things with messing up." Kageyama shouted, very much tired.
*Confessional cut*
"Man, I swear these episodes are a bit too long...so we'll still be back after the break!"
To be continued in the fourth part of this episode, where there's drama, smoke, fire and whatever else goes with the drama of this long part...including some of the rest of the acts in the next one as well.
