An Underdog's Destiny (Story 4 of 4 of my Underdog Series)

by The Legendary Dragon Reaper

He has spent more than a decade preparing for this day, and his fated final battle is drawing nearer. But with his greatest foe knowing just how to get under his skin and his best friend under that foe's thumb, it might turn out to be too much for even him to handle. Can he defeat his foe and protect his friends, or will he give in and lose everything?

5. Food Fright

In the typical Total Drama fashion, Chris started off the newest episode with a recap of the previous one on the Dock of Shame "Last time on a very special episode of Total Drama All Stars: It was all about teamwork, or lack thereof. Things got harsh, it was awesome but it was still harsh. The challenge itself was an epic leechball battle, which brought out the inner psycho of almost every contestant, especially Jo, which is the main reason why she got flushed right off the island after Brick was able to settle the score. But it was a semi expected act of valor that inspired me to make my brilliant switcheroo!"

"Oh yeah McLean, you're a real modern day Canadian Einstein." Adam suddenly popped up next to him.

"Hey who the hell let you into my recap?"

"Hey don't get mad at me, you're just standing here looking at a camera like a jackass when anyone could walk on. Frankly I'm surprised no one has done this before."

"Way to ruin the moment."

"You're welcome."

"I hate you." and then Chris got back to the recap "Now Leshawna is a Hero again, Adam is a Villain now, and I am a genius! Oh let me tell you now that it's gonna get nasty! Will the Villains and their new wild card be able to crush the Heroes and their winning streak? Will I finally be able to break Adam?" he was promptly pushed off the Dock of Shame and into the lake, guess by who.

"Find out right here and right now on Total! Drama! All Stars!"

"Hey don't steal my thing!"

"Oh gee let me think about it. Thinking thinking thinking, nope."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

(And keeping up with the new trend, once again here's my version of the full intro for the season)

Shots of four brand new spotlights popping out, following by the camera zooming through the camp past the spa hotel and the crappy cabin, up to the top of the thousand foot cliff, and then down into the lake below "Dear mom and dad I'm doing fine, you guys are on my mind!"

Underneath the lake, Anne Maria and Leshawna are tugging back and forth over a treasure chest, which opens to reveal Cody inside of it, along with Mr Coconut and several McLean Brand Invincibility Statues floating out of it until they rose to the surface, where Bridgette is lying on top of a surfboard "You asked me what I wanted to be, and now I think the answer is plain to see!"

In the nearby forest, Jo is jogging through the forest past the are where Dawn is meditating, surrounded by several animals, with Duncan just watching without giving a damn "I wanna be famous!"

In a nearby river, Alejandro and Heather are glaring at each other until their canoe is about to go over the waterfall, with Alejandro leaping out onto dry land while Heather goes over along with the raft "I wanna live close to the sun!"

Down below, Brick is standing on top of a cracked log doing sit ups unti Heather lands on top of him, causing the log to give out and for both of them to fall "Go pack your bags cause I've already won!"

Scott is watching and laughing at this until Fang comes out of the outhouse confessional and starts chasing him "Everything to prove, nothing in my way! I'll get there one day!"

Pan over to where Chef and Adam are both just relaxing in lounge chairs in front of the Spa Hotel "Cause I wanna be famous!"

Mike and Zoey both sitting on the Dock of Shame staring romantically at each other, which is ruined when Sasquatchanakwa and the bear start to get into a slap fight "Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na!"

Pan over to the lake where all 14 contestants (Anne Maria, Jo, Scott, Alejandro, Heather, Duncan and Leshawna on one side, and Adam, Brick, Bridgette, Cody, Dawn, Mike and Zoey on the other side), are standing on poorly built platforms holding jousting sticks and all preparing to duke it out "I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!"

The teams clash, Brick and Jo taking each other out, Zoey shoving Scott back, Dawn shoving Anne Maria back, Bridgette pushing Heather back, Cody and Duncan pushing each other back, Mike going up against Leshawna, and Adam locked in a power struggle against Alejandro while keeping his gaze solely on Mike "I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!"

The scene chages to the blackness of night, with Brick and Dawn holding hands awkwardly and gazing into each other's eyes, only for Chris to ruin the moment just to be a jerk "(Insert whistling tune as the song ends)."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The rain was pouring down over the skies of Wawanakwa in the middle of the night, and everyone was fast asleep. Well, almost everyone that is.

Duncan and Alejandro stook in a large clearing in the middle of the forest (the same one that had been demolished by Alejandro and Adam earlier in the day) "So why the hell did you drag me out here in the middle of the night? Not that I don't appreciate getting out of Chef's Breakfast Bombing, patent pending, but seriously I'd rather just sleep. What do you want?"

Alejandro let ou a sigh "I am aware of the hostility that you hold towards me for what I did to you and your senorita during season three, and considering everything else that I've done during my previous appearance I doubt you or any of the others would accept me as a teammate let alone a friend."

"Uh huh. Go on."

"To put it as simply as I can, I want you to hit me."

"...Come again for Mohawk?"

"I know you would most likely not believe me if I were to simply apologize and tell you that I wouldn't do such a thing again, so I want you to attack me until you are content. Take your anger out on me as much as you wish."

"In other words, I get out my anger and with any luck you'll gain my acceptance."

"In a manner of speaking yes."

"...Do I have a say in this?"

"I would hope so but I doubt either of us will be satisfied if you don't."

"Fine, let's just get this over with." so Duncan made his way forward and immediately slammed his fist into Alejandro's gut, followed by him dealing a barrage of punches and a kick to the jaw, sending him skidding back a few feet "Okay I changed my mind, this is fun. And yeah I'm still pissed off about the crap that you pulled, but to be honest two years just makes it sort of melt awya after awhile. Plus I'm noting that you're not fighting back against me, which proves that what you said does have some credibility. If I say that I've forgiven you then can I go back to bed now?"

"That depends, would you be telling the truth?"

"I don't hate you, does that answer your question?"

"...I suppose I should take what I can get."

"Good, now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna go back to bed." he turned around "But if it helps then yeah, I guess I do forgive you." and then he walked away.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Alejandro gave a small smile "I suppose there are two sides to every coin. It's something that my brother used to say vert often, and now I believe I understand what he meant. Duncan is far more complex of a person than he lets on."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Scott scooped a little bit of powered gruel off of himself "You know I actualy grew up on powdered gruel, the stuff that rich people eat doesn't have anything on the good shit. You know I'm pretty sure that it's the saw dust that makes it as tasty as it is. I'm just glad that they didn't let us starve either, maybe he does have a soul. Dammit that means that I owe Duncan 10 bucks, and that's like the million itself to people like me!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Adam just leaned back and gave a grin "It's nice when things work out the way you want them to without you having to get involved. I might be on the Villain's team now but at least Alejandro is getting somewhere with his whole redemption thing."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Leshawna made her way into the dining area, only to find all of the lights turned off "Let me guess, Chris really is so cheap that he didn't pay the electric bill for this place. Yeah that sounds about right, anyone here?"

And then the lights all flashed on to reveal Bridgette, Cody, Dawn, Brick and Zoey, having set up a huge party for Leshawna "Surprise, welcome to the Hero team Leshawna!"

"...Not gonna lie, didn't see this one coming but okay." she pulled Bridgette into a hug, accidentally smothering her in her chest "Good to be with you again girl."

"Good to have you back too Leshawna, but you're kind of crushing me."

"Oh. Sorry." she glanced up at Cody and dealt him a fist bump "Hey short stuff."

"Hey." Cody met her fist bump "So out of curiosity, am I one of the only four former contestants who actually watched season 4? Ergo me, Adam, Bridgette and Alejandro."

"Pretty much."

"That's about what I expected."

Leshawna glanced over to Brick, Dawn and Zoey "Nothing personal to any of you, I just had enough of this crap to last a lifetime." she received various shrugs.

Brick stepped forward and saluted her "Welcome to team Hero maam, if I may say so I've found your performances over the years to be quite impressive and I look forward to working with you from now on-"

"10 HUT MACARTHUR YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF CRAP, DROP AND GIVE ME 20 MAGGOT!"

"SIR YES SIR!" Brick dropped to the ground and started doing pushups.

"Oh yeah, I think I'm gonna like it here."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Zoey let out a sigh "I'm happy that Leshawna is on my team, really I am, but at the same time I'm really worried about Mike. He's been acting kind of weird lately, he can't access any of his other personalities and he's been growing more distant. I just wish there was something that I could do to help him."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dawn frowned in a way that appeared very grim "I know very well why Mike has become more distant from the rest of the team, and the reason is the abomination that spells a dark cloud that may very well doom us all."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Mike sat isolated in a cave on Boney Island, his mind drifting within a black void surrounded by infinite nothingness, but then he froze as he sensed a familiar presence "No, no it can't be! Adam defeated you before, I know that he did! You can't be free, you just can't be!"

"I am never gone Michael Tremblay, and I never will be gone. I am able to live simply because you are able to live." a haunting voice echoed throughout the darkness.

"Leave me alone Sordibus, get out of my mind!"

"I go far deeper than simply your mind, for I am inside your very soul. You and I are one and the same, and we always have been."

"No!" Mike's aura turned midnight black as he flared it and fired off a barrage of black energy blasts at the surrounding darkness "You don't have any control over me! You don't have anything over me!"

"That is simply because I need nothing from you at the moment. The time will come though, and your passing control over me will become inevitable. The moment will come when the Blue Moon covers the skies." and then the voice faded away along with the darkness.

Mike's eyes snapped open and he slowly fell back onto his back 'I still can't get into touch with any of my personalities, and I can sense Sordibus growing stronger by the day. Adam, I really hope that you're able to beat him or else all of us are at risk."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Okay listen up victims, now that the weather has cleared up and the merchandise, AKA me, is safe again, get your waterlogged butts down to the beach for the daily torture session- I mean challenge! No I mean torture session."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Chris was waiting in the woods for the contestants when they arrived "Alright welcome contestants, before we get started with today's beatdown I think it's only fair that we bring back last night victim of exile, Mike!"

Sure enough, at that moment Mike was dropped down onto the scene by Chef in a helicopter carrying him with a mechanical claw, but he managed to rebound and gracefully land on the ground "So what's my score?"

"See for yourself." Adam held up a scoreboard with a gigantic 6 on it "You screwed up your footing when you landed."

"...You can be a real dick you know that."

"Only when I want to."

"And that just makes it worse."

"Yeah a few quick questions." Chris butted into the conversation "First of all, how are you still alive after a night on the island? Second of all, why don't you look miserable after a night on the island?"

"Well to answer your first question, it's really not that hard to survive over there. I just hid in a cave and spent the night there. As for your second question, the same rule applies. At least I didn't get rained on or anything so that's a plus, and I had a lot of time to just be alone with my thoughts."

"...You and Adam just take the fun out of everything. Anyway irritating revelations aside, now we've got ourselves an awesome challenge today. Chef didn't have time to cook the breakfast for team loser this morning because he was busy making these!" he gestured to two gigantic plates of man sized pancakes sitting not far away "Pancakes!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Meanwhile, in some random remote area, Owen was in the middle of spying on Noah and Emma while they were on a date, when he suddenly started sniffing "I smell pancakes, and all I have to say about that is… MINE!" and he suddenly fell out of the tree branch he was sitting on, but he quickly recovered and took off running "THE NATURALIST WILL NOT BE DENIED HIS PREY!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Completely unaware of the impending naturalist charging towards them from hundreds of miles away, Chris continued explaining the challenge for the day "Yeah you got that right, we've got ourselves a good old fashioned eating contest! Each team member gets one minute to scarf down as much pancake as they can."

"Yeah not so fast McLean, there's gotta be a catch." Duncan cut in "Granted these things did get made by Chef but there's no way that's enough of a catch for a psychopath like you."

"You would think so but no way in hell. When the eating time for a Hero is up they get the sound of an angel singing,when the eating time for a Villain is up they get the sound of a mutant vulture squealing and then they just have to race through an obstacle course designed solely to induce nausea."

"Obstacle course huh?"

"It's actually a nod to the Mad Skills course from last season, or at least the toughest parts of it at least. First of all you have to get past the Bouncy Butts, they can be a real pain."

"That sounds so wrong in so many ways." Adam pointed out.

"Then it's onto the Retch n Rolling pins and lastly a swift kick from the Grit Crusher gets you back into line."

"And that's it?" Scott let out a scoff "That's not gonna be so hard."

"Oh is that so? You know I wasn't gonna add this part but since Scott isn't impressed by the current lineup I'm gonna have them bring it in." he snapped his fingers and had Chef drop on the last piece of the obstacle course "Say hello to my metal friend, I call it the Salad Spinner, the perfect end to a barftastic obstacle course."

"So how does it work exactly?" asked Mike.

"Probably painfully? I don't really know actually, we didn't have time to test it."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"We're supposed to believe that he actually tests these things?" Adam let out a snort "Yeah the day that actually happens is the day that I start prancing around in tights and calling myself a superhero!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"All in favor of voting of pit stains if we lose?" Adam rose his hand, earning the same from the likes of Duncan, Alejandro and Heather.

Leshawna received numerous looks and raised eyebrows "What? Sure pit stains is annoying but at least he hasn't called me a big butted loud mouthed mall shopping homegirl like a certain someone has." she pointed at Heather.

"You're still mad about that even after you tried to run her over with an ATV?"

"Yep."

"...Yeah okay works for me, if only to not end up on the receiving end." he promptly received a rasied eyebrow from Alejandro "Yes I know about those things but they don't, and the last thing that I need is to get kicked in the kiwis so hard that I hurl."

"Speaking of which." Chris got everyone's attention back "Players have to make it through the course without hurling even once in order to get back in line and stay in the game but if you do hurl then I'm sending you over to the bench which leaves the other members of your team to eat up without your help. Once your pancake is toast you just have to complete the obstacle course one last time in order to win. Now then, ready… set… SCARF!" and he blew on the airhorn, signalling the start of the challenge, which prompted Zoey to run over and start scarfing down on the pancake.

Alejandro on the other hand glanced over at Adam "We need a leader for this team amigo and I personally believe that you are the best choice."

Adam gave a shrug "Works for me, hey Mohawk you go first. I bet you've got a big appetite from starving over eating the stuff that Chef gives us."

"Yeah whatever, just watch and learn." Duncan then proceeded to start scarfing down on the Villain's pancake, only to suddenly find himself with a bunch of rats mauling his face, which led to him screaming several loud and censored out curses.

Chris observed this from his loungechair and let out a chuckle "Oh yeah I forgot to mention that there might be some booby traps and a few feisty ingredients in those pain-cakes."

Zoey on the other hand found something quite interesting as she ate her way through "Hey what are these, some kind of blueberries?"

"Well I've never heard of fish eyes being called that but sure why not." he was met with the sound of puking, followed by Zoey making her way to the bench "And just like that Zoey has been benched, who's up next for the heroes?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dawn appeared to be absolutely livid "There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle soul. And by blinding innocent sea creatures for his sick and twisted amusement, Chris McLean has just ignited that anger!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"I've got this one in the bag!" Cody made his way over to the Heroes' pancakces and started scarfing them down.

"And for the Villains?" asked Chris.

"I know how to get shit done." Duncan on the other hand had picked every trap out of the pancakce and eaten a sizeable chunk of it, followed by the mutant vulture squeal.

"Looks like eating time is over for Duncan, and now it's beating time!"

"Way ahead of you McLean, I'll be sure to give you that beating later on." Duncan made his way over the Bouncy Butts with surprising gracefulness and moonwalked his way over the Retch n Rolling Pins.

"Some very nice moves from Duncan and even now he continues to impress on the Retch n Rolling Pins."

Duncan was promptly given a boot to the ass, literally, in the form of the Grit Crusher and hurled into the Salad Spinner, which was promptly spun around by the intern and after it was done he pulled himself out of it.

"So that's how the thing works."

Duncan forced himself to swallow whatver it was that was coming back up, and then he proceeded to give Chris a certain pixelated hand gesture (hint: it wasn't a thumbs up, leave a comment in the reviews if you get that reference).

"And it tastes so nice he ate it twice."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Duncan's scowl only deepend "Oh he's gonna pay for that one."

"I sincerely doubt it Mohawk!"

"...Just be patient Duncan, just be patient."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Adam glanced down at Scott "Alright pit stains, you're next now get out there before I shove you out there."

Scott on the other hand was holding his stomach in pain "The gruel from this morning is giving me led gut, I forgot that's what you get when you eat too much of the good stuff.

"How about a led foot up your ass? Now stop whining and start chowing!"

"Well when you put it like that I'm on it." and then Scott made his way over to the pancake and starte chowing.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Adam rolled his eyes "Am I biased against the likes of Scott? Considering how he screwed over a crap load of contestants last season including my best friend Mike, here's a better question for the lot of you: How the hell could I not be?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Scott gave a shrug "Maybe it has something to do with Pappy being in the army and Mama being a waitress, but I guess taking orders runs in the family."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Soon enough Scott was met with the squealing of a mutant vulture "And I guess that would be my cue."

"Yeah now run like your life depends on it, because it does!" Adam barked at him, which was all the incentive he needed to start running.

At the same time Cody had finished his section of the pancake and was running his way through the obstacle course "You know believe it or not this isn't even that bad!" he made his way across the Retch n Rolling Pins with surprising ease.

Even Chris was taken aback by this "Well what do you know, looks like Cody has a few moves we never knew about."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Duncan frowned in thought "And he doesn't even care, no surprise there. After what I saw yesterday from Adam and Alejandro, I've definitely got some shit to keep an eye on."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Heather on the other hand was being about as difficult as always "And why the hell would I go next? I have some dignity left to preserve on this show!"

"You haven't had any dignity since episode 5." Adam pointed out dryly.

"Whatever, my point is that I'm not going and you can't make me!"

"Ay dios mio, let me do it." Alejandro made his way forward 'At least this way I can earn some more points with my teammates.'

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dawn gave a shrug "I personally find Alejandro's efforts to be quite commendable, he knows that the things that he had done were wrong and now he is doing everything in his power to make things right with them. He has already earned Duncan's forgiveness more or less."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Cody on the other hand found himself stuck in a tree after taking the Grit Crusher "Add this to the list of things in my life I will never speak of again!"

Chris burst out laughing "Alright next up for the Heroes!"

"But that's not fair!" Heather protested "He didn't even do the Salad Spinner!"

"I'm just gonna allow it, his pain turned out to be our gain! Which also does actually raise the question, which of our two teams will finish our barf-tastic breakfast first? Find out when we come back right here on Total! Drama! All Stars!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Soon enough, Chris ended the commercial break and showed Scott getting tossed around on the Bouncy Butts and Brick working on the Heroes' pancake "Welcome back people and it looks like it's neck and neck, but the question is for how long?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

At the same time in the Heroes' line, Bridgette and Dawn were making a little bit of smalltalk just to pass the time "So Dawn, any certain someone special in your life? Like Brick for example? I notice some of the chemistry between you two."

Dawn gave a slight giggle "His aura is more complex than he lets on, I can sense such passion beneath him just waiting to be awakened."

"Well I personally think you guys would be cute together."

"Thank you for the support my fellow lover of Mother Nature."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Oneside I've got this." Adam pulled Alejandro out of the way and started scarfing down bits of the pancakes.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Scott on the other hand had stalled on the Retch n Rolling Pins, which had pretty much stopped due to his weight "Oh god I swear this is gonna kill me!"

"Hey you break it you buy it big guy!" Chris barked at him.

"Alright alright just chill out!" Scott slowly made his way along the obstacle course, only to find that the Grit Crusher wasn't strong enough to kick his extra weight "A little bit of help would be nice."

"Fine but you asked for it." so Chris pulled out another button with a skull on it, which is always a good sign, and he pressed it, which sent the Grit Crusher into overdrive, sending Scott flying into the Salad Spinner and crashing to the ground once it was done, leaving him writing in agony.

"And it looks like Scott is safe to eat again!"

Brick on the other hand landed in the Salad Spinner with a very loud thud, got spun around like a maniac, and then crashed to the ground with a thud "Yay…" he gave a thumbs up and then passed out.

"And it looks to me like Brick is safe too!"

"And this is supposed to be a challenge? Come on McLean you're talking to a guy with an iron stomach, I can take anything you can dish out!" Adam continued scarfing away, only to end up with a mouse trap on his lips.

"You were saying?"

Adam said nothing, he just fipped him off, finished scarfing down another bit of pancake, and then once the timer sounded he took off for the obstacle course.

At the same time, Bridgette was going up for the Heroes' team and managed to swiftly avoid the craps that jumped out at her, and she glanced over at the screen showing the progress of both teams 'Looks like both teams are about ⅔ done right now and that's after me and Adam took our turns.' she made her way across the Bouncing Butts, only to hit the other platform with a loud thud as her face turned green 'Okay, so Total Drama challenges right after stuffing myself isn't the best idea. Duly noted.'

"Hey take it easy Bridge, don't push yourself harder than you have to." Adam knelt down next to her, only for her to notice that his lips were incredible swollen as a result of having a mouse trap clip onto his face.

'Uh… nice lips.'

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Adam let out a groan "You know I've never been one to give a damn about my looks but just take a look at my lips, it's like I've got two worms having a street fight down there!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Bridgette let out a giggle that she tried and failed to suppress "Okay I know that I shouldn't be laughing but did you see those lips? It's like he's got two gummi worms stuck on his face down there!"

"Yeah you just keep laughing Blondie!" Adam's voice rang from outside the confessional "Just keep that up and you won't see these lips again anytime soon!" she was met with a slight squeak of fear "Yeah that's about what I thought!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"It looks like Adam of the Villains is just ahead, while on the other hand Bridgette of the Heroes' head is turning a new shade of green!"

Sure enough, Bridgette's entire face was turning green 'Oh god not again, this had to happen again didn't it?'

"Hey you okay Bridge? Come on you can do this!" Adam's answer was Bridgette vomiting in his face, which led to her falling off of the Retch n Rolling Pin "The said thing is that this isn't the first time she's hurled on me and it probably won't be the last."

"And Bridgette brings new meaning to the Hurl of Shame, and now she's gonna have to hit the bench!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Bridgete promptly hurled into a bucket "Well this is just great, first he tortures animals for the sake of his challenges and now he causes me to hurl on my boyfriend for the second time! You just love messing with me don't you Chris?"

"Yes, yes I do!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"And now Adam makes his around to the Salad Spinner over and over again!"

Sure enough, once the Salad Spinner stopped spinning Adam spun his way back out into the open world, dizzy and nautious as hell, but he didn't puke "I think I need to reevaluate how I make life decisions."

"And Adam lives to eat another day, but both teams need another eater!"

"I'm on it!" Mike made his way over to the Heroes' panackes and began scarfing them down as fast as he could.

"As am I… again." Alejandro made his way over to the Villains' pancake and began scarfing them down as well.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Mike let out a sigh "Even if I could access my alternate personalities I doubt any of them would be much help I doubt they would really be able to help very much, Svetlana is a seriously strict herbavore, Vito is a major carnavore, Manitoba hates carbs of any kind, and Chester would just start whining about there being too much syrup. The sad thing is that Mal, this fifth personality that I got rid of a few years ago, is the least pick out of all of them."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Alejandro continued eating away at his pancake, only to find a stick of dynamite mere inches away from his face, which promptly dulled in a comical fashion "Oh mierda." and then it promptly exploded in his face, leaving it covered in smoke as he let out a shallow cough to get some of it out of his lungs "I'm beginning to think I need to start reevaluating how I make decisions in life."

"What was that?" Mike foun a stick of dynamite of his own, the only difference being that he got blown all the way into the Salad Spinner and sent spinning around like a maniac before he was allowed back out, but that was when Mal took over for a brief moment "Say whatever you want but chaos is actually pretty similar to making out: They both make for awesome television, hence what happens next." and then he cranked the spinner up to the max when no one was looking before Mike took back control "Why am I grinning when I feel like I'm gonna hurl?" he let out a loud belch "Okay yeah I think I'm good."

"Look out below!" that was when Alejandro landed in the Salad Spinner with a very loud crash, followed by the Salad Spinner going into overdrive due to Mal's actions "Please tell me that this is normal!" and then he got catapulted out of the Salad Spinner and into the air, screaming all the while.

Chris on the other hand burst out laughing at what he was seeing "Best! Challenge! Ever! Man I am such a genius!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dawn on the other hand, having had some of the pancake blown at her by the stick of dynamite inside of it, was just calmly eating a piece off of her face "Truly delectable, and that proves what I had already known."

"Which is what exactly?" asked Brick.

"That Chef is a far more talented cook than he allows us to know."

"Well I personally always liked his cooking, he's not that bad of a guy once you actually get to know him- Look out!" Brick suddenly pulled Dawn to the ground only for Alejandro to end up crashing into the back of his head, sending both of them crashing to the ground with a very loud thud.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Alejandro was curled up in a fetal position in a comical fashion "I really need to learn to lay off of the muscle mass."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Mike and Adam finally made their way back over to their respective teams and got quite the shock, along with everyone else "Holy crap."

Yeah as it turns out, Brick was on the ground with Dawn lying on top of him, and their lips had connected, and once that realization hit them they both quickly separated "Uh… that was… I mean… uh…"

"Dude just faint, this is just embarrassing." Adam shut him up.

Brick did just that and fainted.

"I told you they'd end up together." Adam was promptly handed 20 bucks from Mike.

"Dammit!" Duncan then proceeded to reluctantly hand Leshawna 20 bucks "You said you didn't even watch season 4!"

Leshawna gave a shrug "I didn't, but I do know a decent ship when I see it."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dawn took a few moments to comprehend what was going on "That was my first kiss. That. Was. My. First. Kiss. And it was… magical, like it lit up a burning passion within my soul!" and then she let out an uncharacteristic squeal.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Zoey was understandably touched by this "That was so adorabe, and I'm so routing for the two of them. Go Brawn! At least I think that's the couple name for them."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Hilarious and awkward moments aside." Chris got things back on track "Looks to me like the Villains have managed to pull ahead and now they're about to taste victory, and maybe some of those old shoes that we put in their pancake depending on whether or not they find them. So seriously, someone pick up the pace already before this gets boring!"

"As if there's any point now." Scott on the other hand took the chance to start mouting off like the jackass that he was "I say you guys better enjoy the loser cabin tonight and all of the rocks and crap that they stuff in there."

"...Yep you're screwed."

"And what's that supposed to mean?"

"It means that you mouthing off is just gonna be another reason for you to get what's coming to you." Mike told him flatly "It's breakfast time now, and it's payback time too."

"And what's that supposed to mean?"

"Don't think that I'm bitter over you voting me off last season, I actually got over that whole thing pretty fast. What I'm mad about is the fact that you got a lot of people that I considered to be friends and good people kicked off, and the fact that you manipulated Zoey the way that you did. And now you're gonna pay." he ripped off his shirt in an epic fashion, still not even turning into Vito keep in mind, and then ran over and began devouring what was left of the Villains' pancake.

"Oh is that how it is then, well if it's a farm style showdown you want then it's a farm style showdown you'll get!" so Scott had Leshawna tag out for him and began scarfing down the last of the Villains' pancakes.

From where he was standing on the sidelines, Duncan was watching Mike with interest "I still don't get it."

"What's eating at your ass?" asked Adam.

"It's something about Washboard Abs over there, I feel like I might have seen him before and his voice sounds kind of familiar."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"The Heroes have now scored back people and now it's neck and neck, who's gonna come out on top!"

Mike bit into another piece of his pancake and was met with an army of bees swarming around him, leaving his face swollen from the stings "Oh come on!"

Scott on the other hand was met with an army of fireants "Oh come on!"

But despite these setbacks, Mike was able to finish his pancake first and took off for the obstacle course "I can do this, multiple personalities or not I can do this!" and he made his way across the Bouncing Butts to the cheers of his teammates.

It wasn't long before Scott finished his pancake and took off after Mike across the obstacle course "Don't think I'm gonna let you get away you freak!"

Hearing that struck a chord in Mike and he suddenly slowed down, his voice soft "People always used to call me a freak or a monster, almost everyone hated me. But I've learned that there are people who can look beyond those things and see you for the person you truly are, like my best friend Adam and like Zoey, and everyone else. And that's why I have to do this, for the people who believe in me!" and he suddenly rocketed forward with even greater speed, passing Scott in a matter of seconds, much to the surprise of the majority of those who were present as he suddenly grabbed onto Scott by the legs and hurled both of them into the Salad Spinner before the Grit Crusher could touch either of them, and when it stopped Mike leapt out of the Salad Spinner in a fantastic fashion and landed on the platform with surprising gracefulness "And how do you grade that one?"

"See for yourself." Adam held up a score card with a 10 on it "I think it's safe to say that you earaned this one."

"Yes!"

Sure enough, Chris made the call "And just like that the Heroic Hawks win the day!" this was met with cheers from the Heroes and groaning from the majority of the Villains, only for him to hear someting "Wait a second, what's that noise?"

Mike received numerous stars "It's not coming from me."

"Then what the heck is-"

"PANCAKES!" that was when Owen randomly popped up out of nowhere looking like some sort of rapid animal "WHERE ARE THEY?! WHERE ARE THE PANCAKES?! THE NATURALIST WILL NOT BE DENIED HIS PREY!"

"Yeah I figured this was gonna happen." Chef drove onto the scene in his ATV pulling a cart with a massive pile of gigantic pancakes, which Owen promptly dove into "See in this line of work you've gotta learn how to be prepared."

Adam and the others looked around "So where exactly is Cody right now anyway?"

Yeah as it turns out, Cody was still stuck in the same tree as before with his legs still sticking out randomly "Hello, can I get a little bit of help here?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Mike let out a sigh "I meant what I said in the challenge you know, people did think I was a freak with my personalities for a long time, but believe it or not that actually changed after I came onto Total Drama last season. I guess it's because everyone got a chance to actually see me for the real me and not just Multiple Mike as they put it, and they can somewhat understand me better now. Plus I've been learning a lot and now I feel like I can actually get stuff done without my other personalities. So what if people think that I'm boring too, it's who I am and I'm damn proud of it! I'm Mike Tremblay and if you think I'm boring then that's your problem!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Nightfall came, and the time for the elimination ceremony had begun.

Zoey gave Mike a quick hug "You did really awesome today Mike, I have to say that I didn't think I had it in you."

Mike gave a shrug "What can I say? There's a lot that you don't know about me, and frankly there's a lot that I don't know about me either." and to prove this point he suddenly grabbed Zoey by the waist, dipped her and then pulled her into a heated kiss, and then he looked away with his head held high (this was a reference to Fuller House by the way for those who didn't get any of that), earning several thumbs up from the other contestants.

And Chef too for some reason, although he received numerous looks "Hey I like what I like and this is way better than my soaps, bite me maggots!"

"Moving on from whatever the heck that was." Chris got things back on track "Anyway I have a shocking announcement to make: Alejandro actually didn't screw anyone over today, I mean granted the day isn't over but you get the idea."

"I feel like that was kind of a cheap shot." Adam pointed out.

"What can I say, I take them when I can get them. Anyway Villains, the time has come for you to shove someone into a toilet."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Adam crossed off something on a piece of paper "Add that to the list of things I didn't think I'd ever hear in my life, along with me saying that I fought and killed a Monkey God back in Africa only for him to probably still be lurking around somewhere. I would bother to expain but I won't for two reasons: One, it would probably make most people's brains explode out of their noses like a bunch of slushies. Two, I really don't want to."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Soon enough, Chris had gathered a plate of marshmallows and the pile of votes cast by everyone on the Villains' team "Okay now for the flush time. The following Villains are safe to cause chaos for another episode: Leshawna. Duncan. Adam. Alejandro." he tossed the marshmallows to each of the Villains as he called out their names "Okay, Scott and Heather are in our bottom two tonight. Scott, you're on the chopping block for trying and failing to outeat our own formerly Multiple Mike here in the last leg of the challenge, for not keeping your trap shut, and for being annoying. That last thing isn't even new. And Heather, you didn't even bother trying to go out there and help your team win the challenge."

"Get real." Heather let out a scoff "I still have at least some dignity to preserve on this show don't I?"

"Quoting someone that I despise, you haven't had any since episode 5. But regardless of what I want, which no one here seems to consider, the last marshmallow goes to… Heather." he tossed the last marshmallow to Heather "And now Scott is heading for the Flush of Shame."

"Oh come on!" Scott just kicked the stump that he was sitting on, only to hurt his foot as a result, much to the amusement of many, though clearly not all, of the others.

"Scott's little tantrum aside, which winner is gonna be a loser and get stuck in exile out on Boney Island for the night?"

Dawn made her way out of the Peanut Gallery booth "I shalle take it upon myself to volunteer for exile for the night."

"Wait what?" Brick bolted to her feet "Just a moment Dawn, you don't know Boney Island like the rest of us do. You haven't been there before and you haven't even seen what the creatures over there can do-" he was silenced by a finger to his lips.

"I can assure you Brick that my connections with the creatures of nature on that island will keep me quite safe and I promise that by the next time we see each other I will be at 100% health. You need not waste any excess energy worrying about me." and then she calmly made her way towards the boat.

"Uh…" and then Brick fainted. Again.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dawn let out a sigh "That is only part of the reason why I volunteered for exile. I have closely examined Brick's aura and whether he shows it or not his emotions are in turmoil. He needs time to process these new developments, and I am more than happy to grant him as much time as he desires. I myself need to rebalance my aura as well, after that kiss." she let out a sigh.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It only took a few moments before Chris had stuffed Scott into the giant toilet "So big guy do you have any last words before… you know?"

"Just get it over with." Scott grumbled, which led to him getting flushed down the toilet in a silent elimination, with surprising levels of dignity.

"I think I speak for everyone when I say that he won't be missed even a little bit. Anyway, the Heroes carry on with their winning streak so the question remains. Will the Villains ever managed to pull out another win? Will Brick start reading auras after locking lips with his new girlfriend?" this was followed by another thud in the distance "And he just fainted again, seriously it's too easy with that guy. Anyway, find out the answers to all of these questions and so much more next time right here on Total! Drama! All Stars! You see Adam, now that's how you be a host."

"Yeah well just say the word McLean and you're joining pit stains in the toilet!" Adam barked from off screen.

A/N:

And thus, Scott's chances of winning the million have gone down the Flush of Shame along with him. While I do think that the character arc between Scott and Courtney was entertaining up until they got eliminated, the fact that Duncan and Courtney are still a thing, not to mention the fact that destroys any chance of that happening. As for why he was eliminated, he did open his trap and get Chris to add on the Salad Spinner to make it more painful, which I think was enough incentive to get the others to vote for him. That, and I honestly just don't really like Scott very much in general.

So as I mentioned before, since Duncan is still on the Villains team, there's no need for him to become insecure about his placement as a Villain, and ergo until the whole thing with Mal reaches a sort of boiling point, he's kind of just there to be a badass and for the sake of comedy relief, but because I wanted to give him something to do I made him suspcious of Adam and the others over things that others would just brush off, like Cody's physical prowess, Adam and Alejandro's secrecy, etc.

The scene at the beginning between Duncan and Alejandro is meant to sort of bury the hatchet between the two of them over what went down between them in season three. Considering what did happen between them, this scene was actually pretty hard to write in the long run but I think it turned out well, and I believe that what Alejandro said in his confessional is true: First of all, every person is like a coin, in which there are two sides to each of them. Second of all, Duncan is a lot more complex than he lets on.

Mike's confessional after the challenge, I'm not sure how well written it was, was sort of a "F*ck you" to Total Drama fans who claim that Mike is bland and boring and the like. I think I've made it clear throughout my Undredog series that he's anything but.

To be honest, I found it rather difficult to find a way to include a cameo in this one, even if having Owen here was kind of obvious, but I hope that it turned out well enough.

Cameo: Owen

Elimination Order:

Anne Maria: 14th

Jo: 13th

Scott: 12th
