This episode came quite quicker than I thought, haha. Some of the scenes were real easy to write and others… well, not so much. Anyway, I hope you guys would enjoy this as I have nothing to say right now. XD

Total Drama: Infinite Zero
Episode 3: Escape To Nowhere
DAY 03
"Last time on Total Drama: Infinite Zero, we had a race to the top!" Chris announced as a replay was seen on screen.
Both teams were seen struggling to reach to the top floor in their respective towers.
"Some were unfortunately headed back to the real world, hurt as usual." He added as some scenes like Theodore being pulled away by a hand, Blaster, Zerine, Lester, and Cory falling into the chasms, and Devon and Paige getting hit by the lightning was shown.
"But in the end, Devon was the unfortunate boot of the day after a sprinkle of attitude." Chris said as the scene played last episode's elimination. "Who will be the next unfortunate gamer to bite the dust? Find out next time in Total Drama: Infinite Zero!"
Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doing fine
The camera gets a quick close up of the Gaming Lab where 16 pods laid down on the sides with a huge screen in front.
You guys are on my mind
The view goes backwards and we see both Charlize and Chris frantically trying to fix the controls on the lab.
You asked me what I wanted to be
The camera zooms into the television where we can see Theodore filming himself in the virtual world.
And now I think the answer is plain to see
This was interrupted by Arthur who accidentally bumped into him and dropped his shield in the process. The paladin quickly apologized while Theodore gave the camera a sheepish grin.
I wanna be famous
We now get a view of Mollie painting the calm scenery of the ocean. Cory suddenly trips over and Mollie's easel fell down, causing the painter to give him a disapproving frown.
I wanna live close to the sun
Zooming out from the scene, we can now see a battle of magic between Noel and Alice versus Zerine and Ragnar. All four of their magic clashed together until what we now get was an explosion.
Well, pack your bags 'cause I've already won
Once the explosion cleared out, the camera pans to Lester who was cheering happily from the sidelines next to a rather annoyed Jessica, who just resumed fixing her weapons.
Everything to prove, nothing in my way
The view flipped for a bit until we can see Paige trying to shoot a squirrel with her arrow. Blaster comes into the scene, unknown of what the archer was doing and Paige accidentally shoots Blaster's prosthetic leg. Blaster glared at Paige and vice versa, causing conflict between the two.
I'll get there one day
Back in the real world, Candy and Iris were seen just exiting out of their pods sharing a high five with each other. The camera then pans to Zane and Devon having just exited from their pods as well, only to look exhausted and beaten up.
Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na!
Various shots of different places and creatures good and evil in the virtual world can be seen.
I wanna be I wanna be I wanna be famous
We now get a clear shot of everyone battling each other in the virtual world.
I wanna be I wanna be I wanna be famous
The camera zooms out from the screen as the cast was now in the real world inside the gaming lab. They all looked back and positioned themselves for a cast picture as the logo of Total Drama: Infinite Zero appears on screen.
Restaurant
Everyone was now in the restaurant eating their breakfast slop. The camera pans to the Beasts where things were unusually quiet for them.
Iris decided to break the silence. "Not gonna lie, it feels weird that Devon was the first person voted off."
"Yeah, he seemed to be the most leader-like person here." Theodore added. For the first time in the season, he wasn't filming anything.
"I don't know about you youngsters, but as much as I hate the fact that I voted for him, he seemed a pretty good lad. He just made a mistake."
Paige merely just shrugged. "He was annoying."
Noel gave her a cold glare. "But then again, so are you."
This caused Paige to shut up.
Blaster noticed the immediate tension between her team. "Uh… let's just try and eat." She smiled sheepishly, trying to sound a bit positive.
Mollie caught wind of her friend's act and joined her in. "Oui oui, bon appetit!" She added, and the Beasts just continued to eat.
Over at the Warlords' table, things were pretty decent for them, with Cory sending glares to Lester as usual.
Alice gave him an annoyed stare. "Why are you so harsh on him? You're gonna become a target to the team if you keep this vendetta against him, you know."
"It's not like I want to become a target myself, it's him that's putting the group down!" Cory retaliated. "He made us nearly lose last challenge. Honestly, I should've just let him fall off the chasm instead of me trying to help him and crash into Zerine by accident."
Candy heaved a disappointed sigh. "I hate to say this, Cory. But honestly, you're starting to sound like a selfish person."
Jessica nodded in agreement. "I agree. Now just keep your opinions to yourself or else you're gonna end up like Devon."
Lester heard all this talk about him, however. But he pretended that he didn't hear anything.
"Oh, what are you guys talking about?" He asked.
Before Cory could even throw a fit, Ragnar interrupted him. "Nothing important!"
Confessional: Ragnar
"Honestly, AS MUCH AS I HATE THAT BITCH BABY, I'm gonna say that Cory is starting to get on my nerves too. He's throwing hate at the most unnecessary time possible."
End confessional
"Try not to lose later or one of you two's definitely going home." Zerine sneered.
"Yes, as long as we keep on winning these challenges, we'll be fine." Zane added, taking a bite of his slop, before nearly spitting it back onto his plate.
"Campers, be at the Gaming Lab in ten minutes. We're gonna start the next challenge soon." Charlize announced from the speakers.
Gaming Lab
The scene cuts to the gaming lab as we can see everyone ariving into the scene.
"Greetings, gamers!" Chris announced and flailed his hands about. "Our next challenge isn't that… fight-y yet, but this one will surely give you a hard time."
"Oh great, what is it now?" Paige annoyingly asked.
"Your challenge is to escape a prison building." Charlize simply announced. "Some of you are gonna spawn inside prison cells, whether alone or a friend. Others are gonna spawn in the middle of the hallways. Some of you are also gonna spawn with a key."
"You goal is to try and find all of your teammates. Those with keys should try and find those who are in the prison cells and help them get out from it. All of you should try and escape the building altogether without getting caught by the police officers." Chris added.
"The first team to make it out of the building is safe from tonight's elimination. The others… will be in the elimination ceremony immediately after the challenge." Charlize concluded.
"Oh boy…" Alice sighed at the sound of the challenge.
"Question, how are we gonna-"
"Let's start!" Chris cackled and turned on a nearby smoke machine (interrupting Noel's question) causing the whole lab to be enveloped in smoke within seconds. This smoke was actually sleeping powder, which caused everyone to fall asleep on the ground almost instantly. Chris and Charlize both carried everyone into their pods and teleported them onto the virtual world.
Virtual World
"Ugh… what happened?"
Everything was pitch black at the moment. Later on though, the light slowly fades in, and who we could see right now is Zane in his virtual armor, on the floor clutching his head.
"...This is like the first episode all over again..." he muttered as he got up. He looked at his surroundings, lowkey looking for Theodore just to see if things were similar like in the first episode again, but this time, it wasn't. He was just by himself in a prison cell.
"Guys?" He called out. All he could hear was his echoes going across several hallways. He sighed in defeat as he just leaned on the wall and sat down.
Some hallways away from him was Arthur, who was sitting on a bench in another cell. He thought he could hear someone but the sound was so faint that he thought that it was just on his head.
"What's this…" he spoke quietly to himself as he approached something on the floor just about a few centimeters outside his cell. It looked as if it were a flashlight.
"Urgh-" he grunted, trying to reach out to the flashlight, but it only rolled away from him as soon as his hand made contact with it. "Drat!"
On the cell above him in the second floor was Alice, fumbling her hands as she could hear footsteps approaching. She wanted to holler out to see if anyone in her team or anyone in the cast is nearby, but that would be a risk because what if it was someone else?
She sighed to herself, not knowing what to do. As the footsteps became closer and closer, she could see a police officer whistling as he had earphones attached onto his ears listening to music. Unbeknownst to him though, his keys fell onto the floor as Alice could hear a slight clinking sound. The officer couldn't hear it as he sauntered away, jamming to his tune.
Alice saw the key drop right in front of her. Grabbing her staff, she extended her arm out of the cell and with the use of the tip of her staff, it managed to hook the key into its tip. She smiled in delight as she carefully pulled back her staff.
"I'm gonna get out of here." She said to herself as she began attempting to unlock the cell door.
The camera goes a few blocks away from Alice's cell as we could see Paige asleep on the prison bed. Her eyes fluttered open as she could hear the loud whistling (and eventually singing) of the officer passing by.
"Oh my god, can you shut up?" She groaned. She turned around in her bed to sleep in the other direction. Unfortunately, she didn't realize that she was on the edge of the bed and so, she fell onto the floor.
"OW!"
The officer stopped in his tracks as he turned over to Paige, who was rubbing her arm in pain as she landed on it first. "What do you want?"
"You have the right to remain silent." Said the officer obnoxiously before walking off.
On the other side of the dark hallway, Blaster and Mollie were seen tiptoeing. Mollie had painted herself a flashlight to use while Blaster had a small headlight on her helmet. They both light up their way using their respective light sources as Mollie had a key on hand.
"I am not quite sure if this will work." Mollie whispered. "I only painted this key. It worked for us, but I unfortunately don't know if it will work for the others."
Blaster sighed. "I mean, we probably got lucky because we both ended up in the same cell." She noticed a fork on the road… or rather, the hallway. "Should we go left first then come back here for the right?"
"Oui, oui." Mollie nodded and led the way, hoping that they would eventually run into a cell with one of their teammates in it.
Below them back on the first floor was Cory and Lester.
"Why do I have to be in a cell with you out of all people?" Cory whined and grumbled to himself as Lester pressed a button on his glasses. The lens then illuminated light from them, helping them see through their way. "Okay, I gotta admit, that looks pretty dope."
"Why thank you." Lester thanked him as he focused on the direction they were going at. "Look, there's a key."
"I'll get it." Cory said as he sauntered forward, eventually grabbing a key that just laid in the middle of the hallway.
Confessional: Cory
He jutted his chin in thought. "Maybe Lester isn't so bad after all…"
End confessional
"What should we do with this key?" Cory asked.
"We will see if it works once we find a cell with someone in it." Lester suggested as he moved forward.
"...whatever you say, then." Cory shrugged, merely just following the opportunist at this point.
Not too far away from them was Theodore who had his camera on, filming everything on video. Once he saw Cory and Lester from afar though, he yelled out. "Hey!"
Unfortunately, they couldn't hear him and moved away. "Aww great, just when I thought I finally found someone." He said, as he continued to walk with a key in his hand. "Man, it sucks being alone."
He kept on walking forward until he saw blue light just from the other hallway. He began to freak out. "Ah! Who are you!"
"Calm down, it's Noel." Noel quickly replied as he shone the blue light of his staff to himself to see if it's him.
The youtuber sighed in relief. "Thank gosh, you're here. Being alone is hard."
"Yes, now let's find everyone else before the other team does." Noel said.
"HALT!" yelled a loud voice from behind them. It was a police officer.
"Oh shit, what do we do?" Theodore nudged Noel.
Noel stopped in his tracks but flinched as the police officer was now running for them.
"Run!" Noel shouted, grabbing Theodore's wrist as they made a mad dash through the hallways.
On the other side, Candy flinched as she could hear footsteps running. She wondered if any officer saw her walking in the dark hallways so she looked around to see if there was any police officer in sight. Nothing. This just made her even more anxious.
She held her staff tightly to herself in case if she would need to heal herself later on from any sudden attack. She had no key with her either since she just spawned in the hallways instead of the prison cells.
"Where are they…" she trembled slightly, looking at every single angle in hopes of finding a teammate. But it didn't help as she heard a gunshot.
Bang!
She jumped in fright, ran into a corner and hid.
"Candy? Is that you?"
She slowly peeked and saw Jessica rushing up to her way. "Oh my goodness, I thought you were someone else."
"Did you hear the gunshot though?" Candy panicked.
"Yeah, I just hope no one got hit." Jessica added as she held her hand up for Candy to grab it. "I have a key. We could probably get someone from our team out."
"Okay, let's go. And fast." Candy said as the two rushed through the hall.
The two weren't the only ones who heard the gunshot. Even Zerine flinched in her prison cell as she heard it. She shivered for a bit, before looking to the prison cell across from her, which had Ragnar in it.
"What the hell was that?" Ragnar immediately stood up and looked at both sides of the hallways to see if the source of the loud gunshot was nearby.
"Must be a gunshot." Zerine spoke up to him, not knowing whether he heard her or not. "I hope to get out of here as soon as possible." She sighed as she sat on the prison bed.
"Can't we just like, you know, break out?" Ragnar asked from afar. He then stepped back with Zerine assuming that he was planning to do what he had just said. He squinted his eyes shut as he grunted, feeling himself about to use his powers as blood immediately poured out from his hands and arms. As he did so, he aimed his hands at the prison door with all his might as his magic burst from his hands and into the prison cell door in hopes of getting it opened.
This went for about half a minute, but unfortunately, to no luck at all.
"ARGH!" he groaned, falling to his knees in pain and at the fact that his power literally didn't do anything.
Meanwhile Iris was pacing back and forth on her own prison cell. Her weapon was nowhere to be found and this bothered her. She didn't spawn into the virtual world with her weapon?
There was almost nothing in her cell as well. No bed, no bench, hell there are even no signs of any flashlight or even the key.
"This is so pointless." Iris sighed herself, looking at the dark hallways. She secretly hoped that no one would come for her. Only her teammates.
Suddenly, she heard running. She began to stay back into her cell.
"Hey!" A voice shouted.
"Stay back!" Iris shouted back, getting herself ready into a fighting stance. However, without her weapon, she felt as though this was the end for her.
A sigh of relief escaped from her lips as she could see Theodore and Noel running up to her cell.
"Oh my god, thank goodness it's you guys." She said happily and watched Noel unlock her door, shaking quickly.
"Dude, hurry up!" Theodore said frantically.
"I'm trying!" Noel said.
"Wait, why are you guys in a hurry?" Iris asked the two boys, now getting worried herself.
"I SAID HALT!" yelled the police officer who was right behind them at this point.
"Oh jeez-" Iris sulked in her breath.
Noel finally unlocked the door and let himself and Theodore in. Iris helped out by closing the cell door shut.
The police officer came at last, sending a sneer towards the three. "You will not be able to get out of the cell next time." He said, fumbling his pockets but realized the key was missing. "What the hell, where's the-"
WHACK!
Theodore delivered a hit to him with his weapon. No, he didn't used the ammo his rifle had, he just merely whacked the police officer unconscious with it.
"Phew." Iris sighed in relief. "That was close."
"We're gonna have to find the others now." Noel said. "Come on!"
The three went out the cell and ran towards the opposite direction.
Ragnar was slowly healing inside his cell. It was way too quiet in the atmosphere. He looked towards Zerine's cell and found her asleep in it. He sighed.
"This is taking forever!" He almost yelled out in case anyone were to hear him.
Surprisingly, he heard a bunch of footsteps coming in. His face lit up and looked to where he heard those footsteps. "Hey! Heeeeeeey!"
Once the people owning those footsteps came into view, his face dropped.
It was Cory and Lester.
"It just had to be you two, huh?" He groaned as he slouched back onto the ground.
"Hey, be glad we're actually here to get you out." Cory snarked as he got Ragnar out of the cell. He then passed it over to Lester who got Zerine out.
The Russian girl grabbed Lester by the shirt and sneered. "Don't you dare mess this up again."
Lester gulped. "Okay."
The camera pans to Zane as he was reaching for a nearby paper clip on the ground. He struggled for a bit, before cheering as he finally got it.
"Yes! Now time to get out of here…" he stated to himself, working his way out of the cell with his paperclip.
The mission was a success as the cell door swung open. He immediately got out and took off running.
When he took a turn to the right, he immediately saw Alice rushing down from the staircase. On the other hallway, Candy and Jessica were running up to him.
As the four met up, they cheered for a bit as they were halfway done with the whole thing.
"Did you guys hear the gunshot?" Candy quickly asked.
"No not really, I think was too far away when it happened." Alice answered.
"We have to find the other four." Zane looked at all ways they could go through. "That way."
"Come on, let's go." Jessica stated as the four ran down the hall.
The scene switches to Cory, Lester, Ragnar, and Zerine to a different hall. There were doors instead of prison cells.
"So you think some of them could be here?" Zerine asked.
"Yeah? I mean I don't think we all spawned in a cell." Ragnar laughed.
"HEY!" A voice shouted.
Lester turned back. "I think someone's coming."
Cory rolled his eyes. "Oh please, you're probably just lying."
"Idiot, they're over there!" Ragnar smacked Cory's back before he pointed towards the rest of their team catching up to them in the hall.
Zane panted as soon as they reached them. "Thank gosh, we chose the right path already. This would take forever if we went on the other direction."
"Now that we're all here, let's try and find our way out. We're definitely winning again!" Alice optimistally said as she and her team sauntered onto the hall.
Confessional: Candy
"I'm still kinda bothered by that gunshot from earlier… I hope no one gets hurt because I have a feeling we'd get hurt in real life if we are injured here."
End confessional
Back to the second floor, we cut back to Blaster and Mollie, in which the two have been slightly disappointed about the progress they were making so far… which was nothing.
Blaster sighed as she saw her lights from her helmet flicker. "We haven't found anyone yet and my lights are dying."
Mollie immediately held her hannd in front of Blaster, causing the both of them to stop in their tracks.
"What is it?" Blaster whispered.
"I think that's Paige." Mollie whispered back as she pointed to a figure over by another cell. "I can't see clearly though. We have to move closer."
The two ran closer to the cell. Mollie's suspicions have confirmed indeed that the person in the cell was the archer, and so a slight smile formed on her lips.
"I told you."
"Heya, Paige!" Blaster cheered as she got out her key and unlock the door. "We're here to get you out!"
"Oh finally, I can't stand that officer. He told me that 'I have the right to remain silent' or whatever. Ugh, what a junkhead." Paige rolled her eyes as she exited her cell, thanking the two. "So what next?"
"Over there." Mollie pointed to a nearby staircase. "Let's try and find the others down there."
They quickly and quietly went down the staircase onto the first floor. Not too far ahead of them was Arthur, who apparently looked bored as hell just by sitting alone on his prison cell.
"Arthur?" Blaster called out.
The bartender's eyes immediately lighten up and stood up. "Youngsters, thank goodness you all are safe."
Blaster used the same keys on her hand to unlock Arthur's cell. "There you go."
Arthur got up and noticed that they only needed to find a few of them left. "Looks like we have to look for three youngins left."
Mollie nodded. "Oui, maybe if we could just-"
She stopped as she could hear a bunch of footsteps coming in their way.
"Should we hide until we find out who those are?" Paige asked.
"GUYS!" Theodore shouted from afar as he, Noel, and Iris ran up to them. "My gosh, that was scary!"
"And what trouble have you three caused?" Arthur asked the three, raising an eyebrow.
"I don't know, they found me on one of the cells and they looked like as if some mad man was chasing them." Iris laughed.
"Fortunately, Theodore managed to knock the officer down." Noel added. "However, we can't be exactly sure if we're safe."
"Well, the good thing is we're altogether again so we should focus on getting out of here. Let's go." Paige stated before all the Beasts ran out of the scene to find a way out.
The Warlords in the meanwhile aren't too far from the exit. But unfortunately, they don't know that.
"WAIT!" Jessica called out, skidding into a halt and looked towards to what seemed like a security room. "I have an idea."
"I don't know, I have a bad feeling about this…" Candy gulped.
"I'm gonna hack into the security camera system so that the police officers won't be able to see us once we make it out of the building." Jessica explained. "Follow me."
The Warlords cautiously went inside the security room. Luckily, there was no one present as they presumed that they were out and about, checking on the prison cells.
"So how are you going to do… whatever it is that you're planning to do?" Zane asked.
Jessica went over towards the control panel, pressing some buttons and manuevering some controls here and there. "We'll see."
Alice peered over by the door and looked at both sides of the hallway in case if anyone's coming. "Uh Jessica? Can you hurry up? I think I can see a couple officers heading this way."
"Hold on, give me a second." She said, looking towards a big red button. She looked over at Zerine who was just right next to it. "Zerine, on the count of three, push that red button over there."
"This? Okay, will do." Zerine nodded and positioned her hand just on the button.
"We are definitely gonna lose this piece of shit." Cory grumbled. "This is really a bad idea."
Lester rolled his eyes. "Ot's not! You're the one who's… probably scared!"
"Or maybe you're the one that's scared!" Cory retaliated.
"For fuck's sake, can you two please shut up?" Ragnar got into the both of them. "The officers will hear us if you don't keep your yap shut!"
"Okay… one…" Jessica counted. "Two…"
Both Candy and Alice squinted their eyes shut, hoping that the worse doesn't haopen.
"Three!" Jessica cried out. Zerine immediately pushed the red button.
Nothing happened for a few seconds.
Until suddenly, every single alarm in the building started to blare loudly.
"What did you guys just do?" Zane asked them in a panicky tone.
"I don't know, I swear that was for the camera controls!" Jessica defended.
"Well now you know it's not because all of the alarms are going off!" Zerine argued.
"Guys, we have to get out of here, now!" Zane shouted and ran, leading the team out of the room where the hallways greeted them with red lights and loud alarms everywhere.
The Beasts were also startled by the sounds.
"What in jiggity-" Arthur exclaimed as the alarms began to go off.
"Over there is the exit! Let's get out of here before they see us!" Theodore pointed to the exit gate, forgetting about filming for the first time as he and his team made a mad dash out of the area.
Suddenly, they began to see white light all around them.
"What's going on?" Blaster panicked.
"I think we are being transported back to the real world-" Mollie assumed before they all faded from the scene.
The Gaming Lab
The pods opened up once more as everyone exited from them, completely unharmed unlike the other challenges.
"Wow, you guys certainly went all over the place back there." Chris laughed until his gaze landed on Jessica. "And apparently, touching things that shouldn't have been touched…"
Some of the Warlords sent a few glares to the hacker, while the others didn't react much.
"Well Beasts, you guys won today's challenge!" Charlize announced. "Warlords, we're gonna have you go to the elimination ceremony. Immediately."
The Warlords all looked at each other in worry as the Beasts cheered, glad that they didn't have to lose anyone.
Backyard
Everyone in the Warlords team had a dejected look as they all sat by the backyard after a brief voting session. Cory made sure to sit far away from Lester by plopping himself on a log next to Zane and Ragnar. Alice was sitting next to Zerine and Candy and Jessica just stood behind them. Lester was in the far right not too far from where Ragnar was sitting.
"Warlords, what happened?" Chris asked with a mocking laugh escaping from him as he looked at the teens. "You guys were fine last challenge."
"No we weren't." Jessica snarked at him and sighed, thinking that she would go home soon.
"Yes, whatever." Charlize rolled her eyes as she began to look at the list of votes. "Anyway, safe with no votes are… Alice, Candy, Ragnar, Zane, and Zerine."
The hostess then began to throw some of the cookies at the five. Ragnar caught his with his mouth as he chewed happily. Candy caught hers but it crumbled on her hands. Alice didn't have any time to react as she let her cookie fall to the floor. Zane caught his with ease and Zerine's cookie just hit her head and crumbled.
"Cory, Lester, and Jessica. Tsk tsk tsk." Chris shook his head as he stared at the three. "Cory, you are on the chopping block for causing way too much drama. Same with Lester. But Jessica, you made the alarm in the prison building go off instead of hacking the cameras. So literally, all three of you have a major reason to be voted off." He explained.
Both Cory and Lester had an intense stare down, but Jessica was looking nervously at the ground.
"...Cory, you are safe with only two votes." Charlize announced, throwing a cookie towards his way.
A smirk grew on his lips as he caught his cookie.
"Lester and Jessica… one of you will be going home." Chris cleared his throat. "And that will be…"
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
"...both of you are tied!" Chris laughed, ending the almost eternal silence in the atmosphere.
"So how are we going to break it?" Jessica asked as she looked down, not wanting to be in a tiebreaker with him.
"Are we gonna have to fight each other?" Lester asked.
Charlize nodded her head. "I hate to say it, but Lester you're correct. Both of you… will decide by having the Tiebattle!"
Cory snickered at the word. "Tiebattle? How original."
"Yes. Now everyone, head onto the pods. We will go to the battle arena to witness the Tiebattle." Charlize ordered.
Everyone went inside the pods as they were now heading back to the virtual world.
Battle Arena
Everyone was now at the arena in their virtual gear once more. However, both Lester and Jessica were in the battlegrounds as everyone else were seated on the audience area. Charlize, who was in her virtual gear, sat by the front as she will be commencing the battle.
"Welcome losers, to the Tiebattle!" She declared, adding a menacing laugh towards the end. "The only way to break this tiebreaker is to defeat the other! Feel free to go all-out!"
Jessica gulped but seeing as Lester had no weapon in hand, a hint of confidence was evident in her eyes. She held her iron staff tightly, hoping that the hacked powers she added to it would work.
Lester rubbed his hands on the other hand, getting ready to win the battle. He felt pretty confident that he would win, seeing as Jessica doesn't probably have the ability to heal herself unlike him, or that's how he thinks.
"Let the battle commence!" Charlize declared from the hosting area.
Both teens charged at each other. Jessica began to shoot some bullets from her staff, aiming at te oddly dressed boy, but grunted as he dodged most of them. Lester on the other hand, charged up his left hand and delivered a punch right on Jessica's face, blurring her sight for a bit.
"GO AND GET THAT FUCKING BITCH BABY!" Ragnar yelled from the audience area as loud as he could. Later on, Cory joined him on the cheering.
"YEAH, WHOOP HIS SHITTY ASS UP!" Cory shouted as if there was no tomorrow.
Alice facepalmed herself at how unncessary their yelling was but eventually kept it to herself. "I have no idea who will win at this point." She simply stated.
"I have no idea, but I do think Lester will win. He has the ability to heal himself and I do not know if Jessica is capable of doing that as well." Zerine added, putting her focus on the battle.
After about fifteen minutes, the two began to grow tired, eventually about to give in if tey keep this up.
"There's no way you're gonna win this, you know!" Jessica taunted him as she shot iron magic from her staff. The shot hit Lester slightly, sending him backwards for a bit.
An idea suddenly hit him in the head. As he got hit, he fell onto the ground dramatically, placing a hand on him as he pretended to pass out.
"Five seconds to get back up!" Charlize announced. "Five!"
Jessica smirked and walked towards him, sure of her victory.
"Four!"
Lester could already feel himself healing for a bit and his hand curled up into a fist.
"Three!"
Jessica held her staff on Lester's neck, making sure he won't go back up.
"Two!"
As the hacker so focused on getting rid of him, he felt his fist charging.
"One!"
Suddenly, he pushed his own hand forward with a burst of magic coming from it, sending Jessica all the way to the other side of the battleground. She toppled over for a few times before stopping just by the gate, a loud groan of pain escaping her mouth.
"Ugh…"
"Five!"
...
"Four!"
…
"Three!"
…
"Two!"
…
"One!"
...
Jessica did not stand back up.
"Looks like we have our tiebreaker winner!" Chris declared. "Jessica, you're officially eliminated."
The Warlords (except for Cory who was busy exploding of anger) all rushed up to their fallen former teammate.
"Hey, you did good back there!" Alice assured as she helped the hacker up.
"Yeah… sorry that I made us lose that challenge." Jessica said sheepishly.
"Eh, mistakes happen, right?" Zane laughed.
"We'll still see you after the game, though!" Candy smiled.
"Yeah, I'm counting on you guys." Jessica added, fist-bumping everybody.
Ragnar turned to the hosts. "So are we gonna go back to the real world or what?"
"Yeah just wait, yeesh!" Chris grumbled. "Anyway, our Warlords have just lost their first member. Such a shame. But who will lose next time? Will we go back to the Tiebattle? Find out next time on Total Drama: Infinite Zero!"

Eliminated: Jessica (Lost in the tiebattle against Lester)
Author's notes: Ugh, I really hate having to pick which character would go in every chapter. Actually, I hate eliminations in general lol. I placed both Jessica and Lester in the tiebreaker because I couldn't decide which of these guys should I eliminate so instead I have them battle each other out and I just choose who to eliminate depending on how the battle went, so it was hard. ;-;
I hope you guys like the episode though! This one was not easy to write lol, but I'm pretty much okay with how this one turned out.
See you all soon!
