Chris was repeatedly bonking Darla on the head with a newspaper next to the elimination ceremony. "I hope you learned your lesson. Helping the contestants is and always will be against the rules. You got it?"
Darla rolled her eyes "yes sir"
"See, I have absolutely no idea if you actually will or not! Why can't you just be a normal person?" Chris groaned before clearing his throat to the camera "well, last time on Total Drama, one of our interns decided it was a wise idea to help a contestant spy on the others!" he bonked her again "but besides that, what a fun challenge! The anti-Lester alliance has grown by the day, Dan is slowly conquering his fear, Haden and Vaughn called each other out as threats, and Phoebi came out as yet another antag to her former crush!" Chris smiled a bit "so what is that? Like, five at this point? Who was in charge of the cast this time around?" His smile disappeared "I wish I actually knew… but let's just find out what will happen in today's episode of Total Drama Castle Chaos!"
Intro plays
It was the night of the elimination ceremony. The girls on the Peasants team were walking into the room when Phoebi held Lucy by the shoulder "you wait here Lucy old girl" she smiled as Lucy just slowly nodded.
Phoebi had a small smirk on her face as she walked in. A few moments later Phoebi walked out while holding up her blankets, pillows, and clothing.
"I don't feel you should be sleeping in here. Some people might get the wrong idea" she had a smirk that made Lucy want to punch her in the face.
"Thanks for getting it… I'll sleep in one of the halls…" Lucy looked down as she began to walk away. However, she felt someone grab her shoulder.
"Why are you leaving?" Olena whispered, ignoring Phoebi's amused smile.
"It's better I just sleep out on my own Olena, now, please don't get involved in this. I don't want to deal with her"
Olena frowned but let Lucy walk away.
Confessional: Lucy
Lucy angrily punched the wall, leaving a crack in the wall "damn it!" she was panting in anger "I just want to beat that fucking smile off her face!" She dropped onto her knees, clutching her face "if she reveals me I'll be stuck like this forever!"

Olena turned back to frown at Phoebi but she was already back in their room. The leader just looks down in shame at her inability to lead.
"Hey, Lena"
Olena softened her expression a bit as she looked over to Rosalina holding up her phone "even though Phoebi is the leader, I think, of the alliance now, I thought you were a great one!"
"Thanks, Rosa" Olena had a small smile.
Rosalina grabbed her by the arm "we should go do what always cheers me up!"
"And by cheering you up you mean…"
"Yep!" Rosalina smiled "we're finishing that yaoi that got interrupted earlier!"
"G-great…" Olena forced a small smile as Rosalina dragged them into the girl's room.
Rosalina looked over at Phoebi, who was reading with a small scowl towards the two girls. Which Rosalina didn't seem to pay any attention to as she just brought Olena onto her bed with her and moved under the covers "we can watch under here, for some reason Phoebi hates when I stay up late watching these.
Olena, meanwhile, was distracted by the fact that they were hiding under the covers and so close.
"D-do all… acquaintances of yours do this kind of thing?"
"Not a lot of people want to watch this stuff with me" she smiled, giggling a little as it started.
Olena's eyes just widened as a little bit of blood came out of her nose. She wiped it away with her hand "w-why did that happen?"
"Happens when I'm enjoying these too, don't worry" she smiled and pat her back.

A few nights came after that, the most recent one, Mina was walking by herself. Last night she didn't get nearly as much food as she had hoped. It was late at night so no one was up and about. That was, except for someone scampering in the dark.
"Hey, Mina"
Mina stopped in her tracks hearing his voice, she turned to the figure, before slowly smiling "oh, hey Lester!"
"H-hey, Mina, I-I just found the c-coolest thing ever, I t-think it's called a Turducken o-or something" he smiled meekly, as always as he beckoned for her to follow. Mina just smiled excitedly as she followed behind.
The duo ended up in a room by the kitchen. He opened the door and moved to the side for her. Mina smiled as she walked in, looking around confused "where's the treat?"
Suddenly, Lester tapped a button, resulting in the floor below Mina collapsing in with her as she fell down a pit. Lester had a wide smile on his fast as he put the remote down on the counter and turned towards the dark parts of the kitchen "so, do I have to wait for your part of the deal or do I get it now?"
Instead of getting a response, someone kicked a small bag towards him. Lester grinned to himself as he picked it up, looking inside to make sure it was what they promised.
"Glad I could do business with you"
Confessional: Lester
Lester was holding the bag on his lap as he smiled at the camera "I admit I wasn't expecting to be as fortunate as I was. That guy who broke in a few challenges ago? Super swell guy!" he smiled as he held the bag up "he said for some reason he wanted Mina out of the picture, so making her disappear wasn't too hard of a decision for me. I just hope she can forgive me later" he smiled with a small shrug. "I needed this bag more than anything I've ever needed in my life. So sorry not sorry really."

The night continued when Julia could feel something slightly nudging her. She looked back, glaring at the person who woke her up to see it was just Dino smiling.
"Dino? What are you doing in the girl's room?"
"I wanted to hang out" he whispered with a smile "I found the perfect spot for a campout!" He whisper yelled in excitement.
"Are you sure Chris wants us walking out of here at night? Wait, why would I care?" she smirked as she got up. She was currently dressed up in black sweatpants and an oversized purple hoodie.
"You look comfy!" Dino complimented.
"I guess it's comfy" she moved her hoodie up to hide her faint blush "so where's this campsite at?"
"Oh, right! Follow me!" Dino smiled as he grabbed her arm. Just making Julia blush a little more.
The two of them eventually reached an empty area near some trees with a campsite already made.
"I got this filled up the moment I found it!" Dino smiled.
Julia had a faint look that she was impressed "I guess you weren't lying about that camper badge" she chuckled a little until she saw Dino's face light up "what?"
"I knew you were listening when I talked about my badges!" Dino gushed happily.
Julia just looked to the side "you say it all the time it was just bound to happen honestly…"
Dino just continued to smile as he pulled out a log of wood "sit on down, we're doing smores tonight!"
Julia just did as he said, quietly sitting next to him with her hands in her pocket.
She looked over at Dino, who offered her a long metal rod. And not in a weird way.
She smiled as she held it up and put the marshmallow on it, before putting it over the fire. Dino and Julia just enjoyed the peace as they continued cooking their marshmallows.
/
The next day eventually rolled around when Julia could hear an announcement wake her up "hey contestants! It seems we're missing a few of you! If I don't see every contestant one team is getting a disadvantage for our next challenge!"
Julia rubbed her eyes "jeez, did I really sleep in that late?" She looked to the side and blushed a little seeing Dino sleeping on her shoulder.
"Hey, wake up. I really don't want to be the one who costs our team a win" Julia started shaking him a bit.
"H-hu?" After a while Dino leaned up and rubbed his head, leaving a little drool on his shoulder "Oh, you stuck around!" He quickly went back to smiling.
"I just stayed for the s'mores. Now can we get to the others? I don't want to be blamed for anything"
Dino just smiled and nodded as he got up, as they both quickly get back to the group.
Chris smiled "you guys have trouble sleeping last night?" He teased
Julia just glared back at him, which Chris seemed to get the hint of "well, looks like we're still missing two-"
"I-I'm here" suddenly, out of nowhere Aaron came running in, panting a little. Vaughn raised an eyebrow at him.
"Well, about time you got here hu? Wanna share with the class what you were doing?"
Aaron smiled nervously as he rubbed his neck "I-I vas just looking for Mina. I noticed she wasn't a-around at lunch and got vorried"
Christ stared skeptically at him before shrugging "sounds fair enough to me"
Aaron sighed in relief.
Confessional: Aaron
"So, uh" he was looking down bashfully "I was looking for ze idols a vee bit last night" he frowned "I-I don't l-like having zis advantage on ze others, b-but Vaughn vants any advantage he can get. And if I get him ze idol he might mellow out a little. H-he's just too mean towards X-Xavier sometimes…"
XXX
"Well, Jesters, you're still down a member! Meaning, well, disadvantage time!" Chris announced with a growing smile.
They all groaned, with Violet leaning towards Penny "she better have a good reason for just ditching us"
"Come on, Mina wouldn't just skip a challenge over some food or anything" Penny tried to reason, though she didn't look too convinced herself.
Harmonia just raised her hand "and what shall our punishment be exactly?"
Chris smiled "well, unless Mina can make it back by the elimination ceremony, she's outie! Besides that, you also get a replacement until the end of the challenge!"
The Jesters immediately looked nervous as they looked amongst each other. However, no one spoke up before Vivian "so, uh, who will this replacement be exactly?"
Chris smiled "I'm glad you asked! For today's challenge, you all get to meet a friendly young girl from Mongolia, Baya!"
Before any of them could react, a large muscular woman dressed in fur walked in. she looks like she was more or less ready to start fighting in a war as she happily smiled and waved to the group "sain uu!" she waved. On top of her head was a Mongolian 4 sided sable fur hat.
While most of the contestants were just confused, Harmonia was furiously writing this down "I've never interacted with a Mongolian before…"
"So… is she permanent…?" Dan asked, currently hiding behind Vivian "please say no please so no"
"Nope!" Chris smiled "she's just here until Mina's back, or she's out. Whichever comes first. Now, for the challenge" Chris looked over to the kitchen "hey, you heard me didn't you Chef?"
After a few moments, Chef fell out of the kitchen with scratches and marks on his body. Part of his outfit was ripped off. Chris slowly raised an eyebrow "I see Julia wasn't the only one who had a busy morning"
Chris slowly smiled hearing Julia grumble to herself.
"Look, Chris man. I know a lot of weird stuff goes on in here but there's something alive in there!"
Chris chuckled "yea, yea, yea. I'm almost confident you can kill anything that goes in there so stop whining and get their challenge started"
Chef sighed and nodded "come along maggots, this challenge will be real good" the contestants looked nervous but ended up following him.
/
The teams found themselves standing in a dark room, with Chef standing in front of them "well, today's challenge is going to be another lame horror-themed challenge. Maxine, bring in their junk!" Chef called out.
After a few moments, the intern Max came out with two large filming cameras.
"What can we do with all this?" Xavier raised his camera in confusion, trying to see if the camera had some secret gimmick going on.
"Yea, this stuff looks older than Haden's choice in clothing" Vaughn snarked as he put the night-vision goggles on his head.
"Good one. Hopefully, you won't find a way to burn the whole place down with a camera" Haden rolled his eyes.
"Well, no promises" Vaughn smirked.
"Enough of your titter tatter! Your challenge today will be something special. You all will be making spooky scary movies and they will be judged by our interns. There's only so much film in these babies so be careful. Any questions-" everyone raises their hands "may be directed towards Maxine. I'm busy" Chef walks off.
Soon most of the contestants were running up to Maxine with their gear and quickly started asking questions as she shrunk down in the group.
Confessional: Max
"So… I guess Chris is just letting us use these… so much to say about the season so far. Well, first off, I feel bad for Mina. I really hope they didn't hurt her or anything, I get why they wanted to and all, but I still hope she's not hurt." her frown just grew "it doesn't help that they had to work with Lester, I mean that guy gives me the willie-"
She was cut off by Darla swinging the door open "Maxie! Wait, I thought Chris said we can use these now? Doesn't matter, we gotta go get ready for judgin!"
Maxine sighed a little as Darla started dragging her out of the confessional "today really isn't going to be a great day…"
XXX
"So… do any of us have any horror movie experience?" Dan spoke up as the Jesters sat outside and near the woods.
"I suppose I could lead this film…" Harmonia smiled "if I must"
"She gives me the heebeejeebees so I can't argue how well she could do this" Violet whispered with a small smirk to Penny, who snickered slightly.
Harmonia either didn't hear what she said or snickered "well, I feel it would be important to decide on rolls yes? I have many good ones"
"Oh, could I do the monster?" Vivian smiled as she raised her hand "I always wanted to play a monster, but they said I didn't fit those roles"
Harmonia smiled and pat her on the shoulder "please dear, I think you would be perfect for the last girl role. Or, at the very least you'd be good as Dan's girlfriend"
"D-do you think I could at least do something cool?" Vivian smiled meekly.
"Something cool? I don't think that fits you" Harmonia continued to smile, waiting for Vivian to back down.
Dan sat up a bit with a frown "hey, if Vivian wants to be the monster you should let her. No one else was stepping forward for it"
Harmonia just shook her head and pat Baya on the shoulder "she's a giant Mongolian made out of muscle dear, she is quite literally made for the role of scaring people. Unless you disagree"
Dan stared at Baya, who was just smiling like a goof at him. Dan looked down to her muscular arms and silently sat down.
Harmonia smiled "wonderful! Penny dear, you will be the lucky one to play the child. Nothing shocks people more than a child dying"
Penny sighed "if I keep fighting against being the midget you guys will keep doing this won't you?"
Violet smirked "probably"
Harmonia then turned to Violet "wait! I have a much better role for Penny! My dears. Violet and Penny get to play the main couple. Movies these days get extra points for diversity. Dan and Vivian will thus play your friends and our actual lovebirds will be the camera people"
Violet frowned at Harmonia and was about to protest what she said before Harmonia continued on seeing no one else was too upset with this "wonderful! Which one of us shall get the props?"
"Vivian and I can do it" this time Dan raised his hand.
"Well, I have no reason to turn down the offer. Good luck you two" she smiled as the two got up.
After a few moments, Lester walked up to her and tugged on her dress "hey, w-what am I doing in this?"
Harmonia smiled "oh, easy! You will play the first victim. No one will feel sad seeing you go and it'll set up how gory and scary the movie shall be!"
Lester faked a small smile "o-oh, great"
/
Once Vivian and Dan were away from everyone Vivian frowned at Dan "Is there a reason you wanted to suddenly start looking for props?"
Dan had a small frown on his face as he looked at her "you really shouldn't just take what Harmonia says Vivian. I'm sure none of us would've minded if you just told her you'd be the monster"
Vivian smiled a little "d-don't worry about it, Dan. Harmonia made a good point, monsters are usually big and scary. Like Baya, no offense to her of course"
Dan just frowned more "I think you could play the scary monster really well if you wanted to… I don't really know if that's a compliment or not" he chuckled awkwardly.
Vivian smiled "I'll take it as one. But really, I'm fine. Harmonia has really been helpful with improving myself"
"Ok…" Dan eventually relented before opening a door near them, leading straight to a warehouse full of props.
"Well, this will be awhile hu…"
Confessional: Vivian
Vivian was smiling "Dan's starting to talk with me like one of the guys. I think he's starting to get past his fears. And I'm honestly just happy I could help him with it." she blushed a little "I-I also appreciate him wanting to stick up for me. That was nice of him"
XXX
Meanwhile, the Peasants weren't as quick to find a solution on what to do. Phoebi was just sitting on the ground with the alliance as Olena stood up "ok, so, does anyone have an idea for what we should do story-wise?"
Vaughn smirked and raised his hand "well, we could have a detective who's so bad at his job he slowly loses his mind until he becomes the very person he was trying to hunt at first"
Haden rolled his eyes "or we could have a crazy pyromaniac burn a bunch of victims"
"Ok, uh, we could probably mix those together" she smiled "the detective hunts a pyromaniac but ends up becoming one."
Vaughn just smirked at Haden who sighed and nodded. Phoebi smiled "well Olena, you're getting them under your control well done. But may I make a suggestion?"
Olena eventually nodded "sure…"
"Great. I would just like to suggest that I lead this challenge"
"But I already started it…" Olena frowned a bit more.
Phoebi momentarily side-eyed Lucy, who forced a smile "o-oh yea, I think Phoebi should do this! She's got the brains for it…"
Olena frowned "well… if no one else wants me to lead I guess I can-" she was cut off by Vaugh, Xavier, and Aaron raising their hands.
Olena sighed as she sat down next to Haden and Rosalina, trying to hide her dejection. Rosalina just gave her a small smile as she patted her back.
"Wonderful! Lucy, you'll get to play our first victim. A disgusting perv who tried to sneak into the girl's bathroom to steal their panties"
"Seriously come on!" Lucy yelled angrily at her "I don't see why you're just putting a target over me! Besides… I can't sneak into a room if I'm allowed in there anyway"
Phoebi rolled her eyes at the shorter girl "yea, whatever. We'll keep Olena's plan with Vaughn and Haden it was actually a decent twist for someone with the brain of a peanut"
Vaughn smirked in approval "I'm liking this form of leadership"
"I-Is it fine if I v-vork wiz ze cameras?" Aaron smiled a little "I-I've vorked v-viz zis k-kind of zing before"
"It feels like his accent is getting thicker" Lucy grumbled slightly as she held her ears.
Phoebi smiled "you can do that sure. Baker boy, you're gonna help him with that"
Xavier smiled proudly before Olena quickly raised her hand "I apologize for interrupting now, but isn't Xavier the clumsiest guy here? Isn't it a good chance that he trips and drops a camera? No offense of course"
"No, none taken" Xavier smiled "I totally would too"
Phoebi side-eyed Olena "I'm sorry, I thought I was in charge for today's challenge?"
Olena quieted down after a moment and nodded. Haden just quietly watched their interactions.
Confessional: Haden
"I've been so focused on Vaughn that I haven't even been keeping track of Olena's whole deal. I don't know when she suddenly started making frenemies with Phoebi, but this throws a hitch into my plan of just riding Olena's alliance. But, on the bright side, Olena can't double-cross me when our team shrinks too much. I guess I'll just try to not cause any trouble for a while until we know this has blown over"
XXX
It was later in the evening when the casts were lead to their sets. Harmonia's team was stuck with a very cliche set of a cabin in the woods and the inside of the cabin.
"Well, I was kinda hoping we'd get something… more original" Harmonia sighed "but, I guess we may get points for sticking with the classics"
Harmonia turned around, seeing Baya standing there with a Jason mask on her face along with new attire to make her look dirty. She looked like she practically just pulled herself out of a river.
"Vivian did wonders on your costume, you look like a true monster!"
As Harmonia spoke to her Penny and Violet angrily walked up to her. Harmonia turned around once Violet tapped her shoulder "oh, yes. How may I help my two favorite alliance mates?"
"Yea, me and Violet have a complaint about the script" Violet crossed her arms angrily.
"Why, what could you have to complain about? I gave my two best friends a starring role!" Harmonia smiled, trying to settle them down.
"Harmonia, I am not going to make out with Violet" Penny growled slightly "I don't care how much you want to make this movie I'm not doing that. No offense Violet"
"None taken, it's the same here" Both girls continued to glare at Harmonia, not amused by her decision.
Harmonia stared at them before finally relenting "fine, you win. I was thinking I could trust my allies to do their roles and help me but fine." She looked past them and towards Vivian and Dan, who were playing with some props, giving each other a small laugh "Dan, Vivian! You're both gonna be playing the couple now! Violet and Penny are going to be the friends!"
Dan immediately looked nervous at this, dropping the prop in his hand while Vivian was just blushing. Not far from them and above the set, Lester angrily drops a light on the ground "what!? How's that fair!?"
Harmonia just ignored them and smiled at the girls "feel more comfortable now?"
"Yea, I'm sure you also feel more comfortable knowing me and Penny don't have to make this a problem" Violet gave her a small smirk.
Penny slightly snickered at what Violet said.
Harmonia just smiled at the two girls "I'm glad you're both getting along better at least"
Confessional: Harmonia
"I see in this alliance I'm the odd one out. No matter, there are enough players left on this team to not make it an issue for now. But, that's not to say it won't be a worry for a while… It may be best to keep Lester around for longer than I had anticipated…"
XXX
After the swapping of roles, Penny and Violet walked off, just relieved to have easier roles to play. Currently, Harmonia was just trying to convince Dan and Vivian to play the part Penny and Violet specifically wanted to avoid.
Julia and Dino were currently working on the cameras and making sure they would record. Violet looked up to the two and saw Dino walking around, just recording Julia and the area around him before tripping off a ledge and falling down behind some trees.
"I'm gonna go put them in their place. I refuse to let them let us lose" Violet grumbled as she walked away from Penny, as she walked the short girl can already hear Violet screaming at the boy scout.
Penny smiled a bit watching Violet walk off "there's that spirit" Penny was about to walk away when she walked into what was a mountain of a person. She looked up to see Baya, who was practically three times her size.
"Oh, uh, hey Baya" Penny smiled meekly at her. Baya didn't respond, just keeping her mask on her face.
"Do… do you need something?"
Baya eventually looked down at her "are you the strongest one on this team?" She slowly spoke.
"Um… m-maybe? I like to think I'm pretty athletic" Penny stared at her as she slowly took a step backward.
"The one with died hair told me you were" Baya takes a step forward. Penny frowned as she just looked over to Julia, who was silently recording them.
"Fine, yes, I'm the strongest on the team. Are we going to be having an issue over it?"
Baya removed her mask to smile down at her "I'm happy to see someone else here works on their body. I think you should be the one in charge here"
Penny had a faint blush "you're too sweet. Muscles don't mean all that much"
Baya waved her hand "bah, strength is what people should respect! Especially with your size, you're bound to be hard to hit and much faster too!"
Penny slowly started smiling "well, I never really considered that with my size… but you make a pretty good point"
Baya smiled and slouched down to pat her shoulder "wonderful! After this season you should visit my country, I've always wanted to increase my hoard!"
"...hoard?" Penny slowly dropped her smile.
"Yes, hoard! You know, like the Mongol hoards!" Baya grinned.
"I'll… keep that in mind. But we should probably get to filming right? Right," Penny smiled as she quietly ran past her. Making Baya confused

While the Jesters got a forest, the Peasants got themselves a set in a large fancy city. Phoebi tapped her chin with a small grin "I think this will work perfectly."
Vaughn was smiling as he flicked a lighter, not caring so much about Haden watching him do it.
"Hey, team captain, is there anything to set up the fires from… you know, spreading?"
"Of course I thought that far ahead. Our film crew is currently setting flame retardent all around the premises to keep it from doing the damage we wanted. Unlike our last leader, I'm rather prepared for anything" It cuts over to Aaron and Xavier, who were both just throwing fire extinguishers at the walls and floor.
"You think that's enough?" Aaron asked his partner.
Xavier smiled and shrugged "looks good to me" he slaps his hands together "want to go get lunch?"
Aaron smiled a bit and nodded "oh yea, sure" they both get up and just leave the area.
It cuts back to Vaughn smiling "all hail our new leader amirite?"
Haden rolled his eyes. Not wanting to put up with Vaughn as he just goes to sit by himself and wait for the challenge to blow up in their face.
Phoebi clapped her hands together "ok everyone, get into positions! We're going to be filming in seconds!"
Lucy crossed her arms at her "shouldn't our cameramen, be here for that?" She asked dryly.
"Well yea of course they're he-" she looked over to see them standing at a concession stand that was being run by Darla. Phoebi slapped her face with a long annoyed groan before raising her head "get back over here you two, or so help me I'll just make you guys play as the bodies when I'm done with you"
"She's really getting aggressive" Rosalina frowned a bit while sitting next to Olena. Watching Aaron and Xavier scramble to Phoebi as Xavier falls on his face.
"Well, she's the leader that everyone wants. So it's only to be expected really" Olena let out a small, subtle sigh.
Rosalina looked over at her and frowned "hey, you know what? I think you were away better leader!" Her frown morphed into a smile "when you lead, we all got along way better and I had so much fun!"
Olena perked up a little "well, I'm glad you enjoyed it… still doesn't mean the others agree"
Rosalina just continued to look at her sadly, not sure what else she can do to help her feel better. However, she didn't have time to think about it as Aaron and Xavier began filming.
Confessional: Rosalina
Rosalina was kicked her feet on the confessional seat, looking down "I've never felt this bummed before" she held up her phone "not even my boys can pick up my spirits!" Rosalina sighed as she slouched "I need to get me and Olena in better spirits pronto!"

Confessional: Dan
He was currently blushing hard, with bruises all over his body "I-I totally screwed up that scene… I was this close to…" he blushed harder as he started swinging his hands around "ignore what I said!"
XXX
Confessional: Lucy
Lucy's entire body was covered in ashes, she was currently coughing out smoke "I'm starting to get tired of this game. But, I'm not letting Phoebi have her way! I'm sticking this out!" She smiled confidently as she raised her fist, only for her hair to catch fire.
XXX
Once both teams had finished their movies they all grouped up together in a filming room. They all looked annoyed or disappointed in themselves. The Peasants were covered in ash, while the Jesters just glared at Lester, who was rather bruised up. Next to Lester, Baya was covered in what looked like red paint.
"What the heck happened to them?" Dino whispered to Julia, who was just angrily crossing her arms.
"They could probably ask us the same things" Julia grumbled.
Chris slid into the room, smiling at everyone as he shot them finger pistols "glad everyone could make it so fast. I see our Peasants don't have their full team here yet. Would be a shame if they won and still had to send someone home" he snickered, however, the team didn't look amused.
"But don't worry too much about it Peasants. Your movie will be going first. But before we begin, judges, why don't you wave to the group?"
Suddenly, above and behind where everyone was sitting, they can see Maxine and Darla. Maxine awkwardly waved to the group while Darla just stuck her tongue out at the group.
"I hope they're ready for a failure of a movie" Violet grumbled as Chris flicked the film on.
/
The movie started as it followed a tall dark figure walking forward with an ax in hand. The camera slowly panned into a log cabin, where a group of five teenagers were by themselves. The geeky kid Lester perked up as he heard something outside "d-did anyone hear that outside?" He whimpered nervously.
Violet looked seriously annoyed as she leaned back "you should… go check on… man." she was trying her hardest to do a stereotypical stoner voice.
Lester rubbed his arm "I don't know about that… I-I mean, a-all by myself…" he looked over at Penny, who was currently in a more cliche track outfit. "Could you h-help m-me Penny?"
Penny gave a confident smile "of course dude! Nothing could take us on if there's enough of us working together!"
/
"I wonder who dies first" Vaughn stated sarcastically to Aaron and Xavier, to see they had gone off somewhere else. He looks around confused before Phoebi tapped the back of his head.
"Pay attention to the competition buster brown"
"Yea, yea" he growled as he turned back.
/
Penny and Lester were walking outside, they suddenly heard a stick crack under the pressure of a boot, resulting in Lester jumping into Penny's arms.
"Hey, what are you jumping for? It was probably nothing!"
Lester nodded nervously "I-I know… I just wanted to have my first kiss before dying" he spoke in what was pretty much his impersonation of a serious action hero as he leaned in and kissed Penny. In the distance, the contestants can hear Harmonia yelling as the camera panned over to Baya awkwardly standing around.
/
The camera cut to static as all the Peasants turned to stare at a confident-looking Lester.
Confessional: Lester
"Was that a risky move? Yea probably. But was Penny attractive? Well, not as hot as Vivian but she's got it going on I suppose" he smirked to himself "just gotta keep piling on the enemies amirite?"
XXX
The camera came back on to show Penny's head lying next to the camera. Lester's body was lying near here, and all over his body it looked like he had real bruises on his body. Baya in the serial killer costume slowly trudged further to the house.
It cut back to Dan and Vivian. Dan was practically sweating bullets by having his arm around Vivian's shoulder. Violet was on the ground, her eyes looked bloodshot, however instead of looking high she was glaring off-screen while rubbing her eyes.
"I'm… gonna go puff a doobie… I'll see you…" she sighs "gnarly dudes around" she gets up and walks into another room.
Dan awkwardly looked at Vivian "w-well, uh, I guess we're all alone now…"
Vivian slowly nodded "y-yea…"
Dan slowly leaned towards her, blushing really hard as their faces soon became only inches away. Vivian was blushing herself as she slowly leaned forward. However, before their lips could touch a stage light dropped directly on Dan, shocking him as he fell backward.
"Damn it, Lester!" Julia yelled angrily from behind the camera as it stopped.
/
"Well… I was expecting an actual movie" Chris rubbed his neck. "But my opinion doesn't matter for once. It's up to the judges on that!"
The group looks back to Maxine and Darla. Darla was laughing really hard while Maxine was about to lose her lunch still thinking about Lester.
"Not looking like a winner! But, Peasants, you could easily screw it up worse. Shall we?" He smiled as he stood by the projector.
"No way is ours worse than that!" Phoebi scoffed, even though the others looked more nervous.
Chris flipped the switch and their movie began.

Haden was currently walking down the streets, his hands in his pocket as he tried to stealthily walk amongst the people. When he got to where he wanted to be he found himself standing at a burnt-down home. He moved a little closer and walked towards two cops.
He tapped the taller one on the shoulder to reveal it was Olena, with the shorter one being Rosalina.
"I'm here wondering about the cause of this fire" he whispered discreetly.
"Another fire" Olena spoke, obviously forcing her disappointed ness.
"Yea, it's a big ol, uh…" she slowly looked around "line?"
It cuts for a moment before Phoebi appears instead, wearing Rosalina's baggy clothing "it's a big ol conspiracy. No way is this just coincidence now"
Haden slowly nodded as he walked closer to the crime scene. Crouching down to feel the ashes "…."
It cuts to a few weeks later, Haden had a fake cigar in his mouth as he sighed heavily. Throwing everything off the table.
Another few weeks passed by as Haden walked down the streets by himself. He was flicking a lighter by himself "how does he keep escaping my grasp…?" He let out a low growl "there's gotta be something I'm missing…"
He looked up to a large building, still flicking his lighter as he saw Lucy's silhouette in one of the windows. He smiled to himself as he slowly leaned down and lit the flame. Slowly the building started to catch fire.
Haden smiled to himself as he started laughing maniacally "it's beautiful!"
However, what he wasn't expecting was for the fire to immediately start spreading.
"Shit, drop the cameras we gotta go put them out!"
The cameras kept rolling as Phoebi and the others ran out from behind the cameras to start putting them out. After a few moments, the camera moved to show a large building falling towards them as it cut out.

Chris was rubbing the bridge of his nose "you all… are just a handful. Plain and simple. But thankfully I'm not the one judging. Ladies, whatcha think of it?"
The campers turned around and stared intensely at the two. Maxine looked around awkwardly "w-well… the second one isn't really… scary… Lester kissing Penny? That'll give me a nightmare so that one wins for me"
Darla shrugged "I wasn't paying attention. I was too busy kicking Maxine's chair so whatever she said works"
"Well, looks like the Jesters win another challenge!"
The peasants groan, however, Rosalina was quick to try and find a positive "maybe Mina won't get back in time and we'll be safe…"
After she says this, Aaron and Xavier quietly snuck back into the room. Trying to be more sneaky than they actually were. Quickly getting a raised eyebrow from their Irish partner.
"I'll see you guys at the elimination ceremony" Chris smirked as he walked out.

Confessional: Xavier
"So, uh, I guess I'll just vote randomly. I don't know. Vaughn didn't tell us what to do" he shrugged before stamping a picture.

Confessional: Haden
The detective smirked "well, I guess I can add actor to my list of skills. It's almost getting too long to keep track of. Oh, right. Voting. Eh, you know my vote either way" he stamped Vaughn's name hard

She just stared at the camera before sadly stamping Olena.

The Peasants sat at the graveyard, all of them not looking too worried.
"Well… you guys are laid back. I wouldn't be!" He snickered, however, none of the contestants changed their stance.
"Come on… you guys are ruining the fun!" Chris whined.
"Well, do you see Mina?" Vaughn deadpanned.
Chris sighed and threw his hands up "fone, you're all right! You're all-"
As he spoke a hand raised from the ground, causing a majority of the Peasants and Chris to scream in surprise. After a few moments Mina popped out and sighed in relief "I'm here!"
Chris smiled "well hey Mina. You're here just in time!"
Mina slowly looked over at him "for what? Is it dinner time?"
"Close to it…" Chris smirked as he clicked a button, causing a coffin to fly up from under the group and shoot Mina far, far away.
"That's what you get for skipping my challenge you dang kid!" Chris yelled as she flew away. He then turned back to the actual contestants.
"So can we go then?" Haden asked impatiently.
"Yea, yea. You guys can go home. But also, tell that Mongolian girl to get out of here. She wasn't as fun as I was hoping for her to be"
They dismissively nodded as they started walking away. All of them looking rather tired for the night. It also didn't help they now lost two in a row now.
Chris just sighed to himself "that one was disappointing. But, there was still plenty that happened today!" he forced a smile at the camera "Today, we got our first glimpse into Phoebi trying to take over the team, we see Aaron is trying to look for something he probably shouldn't know, and we must ask ourselves: why the hell does Lester want to make more enemies? Find out next time on Total Drama Castle Chaos!"

AN: yea, I know this elimination was the least shocking yet. But with how Jessechan acted, I literally didn't feel like writing Mina at all. I was really planning on her doing well in Legends too but oh well. She was planned to go this challenge either way. But, on the bright side, I feel like we're now getting out of the fodder zone and into when eliminations are maybe more shocking. And since I like reviews, here are a few questions that I wouldn't mind seeing answered in reviews.
1: what's your favorite ship?
2: which of the villains will come out on top of the main 5 targets
3: what do you think is Lester's current plan?
Anyways, see you all next time. I'm planning to work on RR so this one might take a hot minute to continue.
