A/N: This chapter is coming out early because I have a lot of stuff to do tomorrow and I will be most likely tired to even post. Enjoy reading the chapter.
"Last time on Total Drama Crowstillo Island," Chris said giving a summary of the previous episode. "The final six started their new mornings without Crowstillo's castle," Christopher and Sara are doing kung fu workouts. Casey and Lucy are in a pond in their swimsuits. "Casey started taking a liking to Knick the cheater," Casey is using a washcloth to rub the journalist's chest. "She also hijacked a mechanical dragon that was going to be used for the challenge," The unpredictable mastermind jumps into the belly of the dragon, closes the hatch, and controls the dragon to grab Ella and Lindsay.
"Sara spills the beans, telling Knick and Lucy that Pharaoh was pretending to act like a real Pharaoh all this time," Sara tells the truth to the DIT and journalist. "Resulting in Lucy becoming cold with everyone," Lucy rants at the fake royal for how she feels. "And Sara losing Christopher's trust," Christopher drives a go-kart by himself.
"During the new challenge, Casey allows Knick to get immunity and a kiss," Casey opens the hatch of the dragon and runs up to kiss Knick. "And Lucy was sent packing, for being too stubborn and annoying on wanting to eliminate her rival," Lucy scoffs at everyone and heads to the catapult of shame.
The summary ends and Chris at the campsite with Chef. "Only five contestants remain, which of these campers will not make it to the final four? Find out now on Total… Drama… Crowstillo Island!"
The scene opens to the pond Casey and Lucy found. Pharaoh, Knick, Sara, and Casey are in the pond in their bathing suits and rubbing themselves with their washcloth. Christopher is nearby, meditating on a small boulder.
Confessional: Pharaoh
"I'm in trouble," Pharaoh admitted wearing only his black thong. "Casey and Knick are now a couple, which is weird, and Sara and Christopher have something going on. Hopefully, Knick or Casey do not get immunity so me, Sara, and Christopher can vote one of them off otherwise, its game over for me."
End Confessional
"So, what do you two think the next challenge is going to be?" Casey asked Pharaoh and Sara.
"I hope its something simple and not dangerous," Pharaoh answered.
"Yeah, the last simple one we had was the talent contest," Sara agreed.
"Since a conversation is starting, I'll be leaving," Knick stated as he gets out of the pond. "I'll find another pond."
"Give me a goodbye kiss before you go," Casey teased. The journalist rolls his eyes and walks away.
"What do you see in him?" Pharaoh asked.
"Nice tan, black hair, silver glasses," Casey sincerely said.
"I didn't mean literally," Pharaoh said.
"Oh, a frog," Casey exclaimed as she sees a frog nearby. She gets out of the pond and chases after the creature while hopping like a frog.
"I am living with her for about two weeks and I still don't understand her," Sara said and the fake royal nods.
The sweet bad girl looks at Christopher who is still meditating on the small boulder.
"You okay?" Pharaoh asked her.
"Why do you care? You didn't care about your teammates," Sara said rudely.
"I was pretending to be someone I'm not," Pharaoh said. "Which now that I think about it, cost me to make a lot of enemies."
"I don't care," Sara simply said.
Pharaoh glares at her. "If I help you make amends with Christopher would you start trying to be nicer?"
Sara stops looking at her crush and turns to see the short black hair teen. "Why would you help me with my problem?"
"Because that's what I like to do, help people," Pharaoh admitted smiling again. "Besides, I want you and Christopher to be happy. Trust me, dude doesn't hold grudges, but it will be nice of you to talk to him."
"Can't believe I am asking you this," Sara said with a huff. "How should I talk to him?"
"First, don't insult him," Pharaoh said.
"Not going to happen," Sara said rapidly.
"Second, do you feel guilty of ratting me out?" Pharaoh requested.
"Not really,"
"Okay, this is going to be harder than I thought," Pharaoh admitted as he uses his washcloth to rub his right arm.
"Ugh, your advice stinks," Sara said.
"How about you be yourself?" Pharaoh wondered. "Just tell him how you feel."
"I don't know how to do that," Sara admitted.
"Just approach him," Casey said popping up from a bush scaring the two. "If you don't make a move, he surely won't do the same."
Sara sighs. "You two are right, I'll go talk to him." Sara gets out of the pond and walks to the kung fu fighter.
Pharaoh and Casey high five each other. The fake royal sees his left-hand cover in mucus and gives a look of disgust.
"That's the mucus from the frogs," Casey told him.
Sara approaches the back of Christopher.
"Uh, hi Christopher, can we talk?" Sara asked.
The tall teen opens his eyes and turns around to Sara.
Confessional: Christopher
"I've decided to let go of Sara ratting out Pharaoh," Christopher confessed. "It was wrong for her to do it but eventually everybody was going to know. This is a competition and sometimes people will play dirty to advance. I just thought Sara wasn't one of them."
End Confessional
"I have to say something," Sara and Christopher said at the same time. "No, you go first," They both said at the same time again.
Sara's cheeks start to turn red. "I'll go first," She said, and the fighter lets her talk. "Christopher I…"
The static sound of speakers begins until Chris adjusts the microphone. "Attention final five, meet me at the campsite for today's challenge. If you are not here in the next ten minutes you will be taking the catapult of shame."
"Jerk!" Sara shouted at the speaker and storms off.
"Wait, Sara," Christopher called out but it is too late. She does not want to talk right now.
Campsite
The final five are in their normal clothes. Pharaoh is not wearing his Nemes crown. They see Chris and Chef and five human-size crates behind the hosts.
"Why are you still wearing that outfit?" Christopher asked Pharaoh.
"Chris told me I have to wear my Pharaoh outfit, so I don't 'confuse' the audience by wearing my actual normal clothes," Pharaoh answered.
"Makes sense," Christopher responded.
"Tell me campers, how does it feel to be in the final five?" Chris asked.
"I knew I was going to get here so its no surprise," Knick stated. The other three campers except Casey glare at him for that answer.
"I feel like I don't deserve to be here," Pharaoh admitted. "But I'm still going to do my best and win."
"It has been a wonderful experience," Christopher answered.
"Great to hear," Chris said. "Your next challenge is a hunting challenge."
"Cool, I always wanted to hunt animals," Casey said with a grin.
"Frankly I believe hunting animals is terrible," Sara said. "Besides, did the producers approve for you to use animals?"
"Yes, but unfortunately there were a bunch of complaints from the animal lovers, activists whatever they call themselves about hunting animals even though I was just going to free them after being capture but oh well," Chris explained. "So instead, you five will be hunting humans."
"That sounds even worse," Pharaoh said.
"Yes, yes it does," The host told with a smile. "Chef and I brought back several previous competitors that we believe will cost each of you the most trouble to catch."
"I'm pretty sure nobody can match Christopher's skills," Sara said complimenting her crush.
"Thank you, Sara, that is quite nice of you to say," Christopher said with shock.
"Is there a reward for this challenge?" Casey asked the host.
"Yes, first one to come back with their prey gets an exclusive buffet of their favorite food just for themselves to dine," Chris replied.
"I so want that," Pharaoh said imagining all his favorite foods he can order and eat.
"A vegetarian buffet would be nice," Sara said.
"The last camper that comes with their prey is automatically eliminated," Chris continued explaining the rules.
"Just the last person?" Knick asked.
"Yep, just the last person," Chris assured.
Confessional: Sara
"I'm surprised this challenge isn't a double elimination," Sara said crossing her arms and legs. "Besides this one, there is one more challenge left before the finale. Maybe Chris forgot to make this a double elimination?"
End Confessional
"Also, contestants can not help each other get their prey. Each teen must capture their prey by themselves. If there is any help at all, both will automatically lose the challenge, got it?" Chris said and the final five nods. "Good, each of you will be given three tranquilizer balls with a slingshot to put your prey to sleep."
Chef gives each camper a slingshot, three purple tranquilizer balls, and a pouch to store the balls.
"You only have three so use them wisely. If any of you run out of tranquilizer balls you will have to improvise on getting your prey back to the campsite." Chris said.
"How long do the effects last?" Knick asked.
"That's easy, I'll show you," Casey said and pops one of them in her right hand. The purple gas causes her to fall asleep.
Everyone just looks at her with curiosity and disappointment.
Chris adjusts himself to answer the journalist's question. "The effect lasts up to at least two hours. Should be plenty of time to bring back your prey."
"Sorry for being impatient, but I would like to know who I am hunting," Christopher said eagerly.
"Sure thing dude, Chef," Chris said Hatchet. Chef uses a long crowbar to open one of the human size crates.
The person that comes out has an afro, black skin, a gray shirt, jeans, and a beard.
"Christopher, you will be hunting Beardo," The host told the fighter.
"Excellent, a worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary," Christopher exclaimed raising his left fist high in glory.
"Uh, thanks," Beardo said unsure.
"Since Casey is sleeping let's reveal her prey," Chris said.
Chef tries to open another crate but the human inside starts banging inside and making cat noises. The person breaks out of the crate. She has reddish-orange hair and green eyes.
"Izzy?" The four campers awake exclaimed.
"My gosh that crate was so dark, you know what's dark? The shadow realm, I have never been there before. Alright, who is hunting me like an innocent deer?" Izzy rambled excitingly.
"Deer are not innocent," Pharaoh told her.
"Makes sense she would go up against Casey. You have to match the unpredictable with another one," Knick stated.
Izzy notices Casey on the ground peacefully sleeping. "Awe, that's pretty cute, she is even sleeping like a dog which reminds me…"
"Okay Izzy that's enough," Chris told the psycho hose beast. "Pharaoh will be hunting…"
Chef opens the third crate and Shawn walks out. "Shawn."
"Geez, you weren't kidding when you said you picked difficult people," Pharaoh said to Chris.
"I didn't want to come back for another cameo, but I want to see how you build traps to prepare for the undead," Shawn said.
"Thanks," Pharaoh gladly said.
"Alright so the nutjob and royal pain are good friends, can I see who am I up against?" Sara requested impatiently.
"Of course Saraphine, you will be hunting…"
Chef opens the fourth crate to reveal nobody is there.
"The person must have gone to Madagascar with the lemurs," Pharaoh joked.
"Greetings everyone," A girl said to everybody and scaring them. She is short with light blonde hair. She is wearing a green sweater, a gray skirt, and a lavender leggings. "It is nice to meet you all."
"Of course I'll get her," Sara scoffed.
"That is right Saraphine, you will be hunting Dawn," Chris said to her.
"Guess I'm last," Knick stated and looks at the last crate. "I wonder who my prey will be."
"Well Knick, you're about to find out," Chris told him.
Chef opens the last crate and two teens come out.
"You cannot be serious," Knick said.
"Knick, you will be hunting Max and Leon," The host exclaimed.
Knick pinches his nose. "Why do I have to capture two? Isn't Leon enough?"
"Am I joke to you?" Max asked feeling insulted.
"Well you lasted longer than Leon so I guess that's somewhat an accomplishment," Knick responded and rolls his eyes.
"Oh, you are going to get it," Max said ready to charge at the journalist but Leon holds her steady.
"Do it in the woods, not here," Leon told her.
He lets go of Max and the tomgirl huffs. "Fine."
"I thought it would be nice to give you a small reunion with the two competitors that you cheated out of the game," Chris told Knick.
"Peachy," Knick said trying to hold his frustration.
"Now that you all know who your hunting, the prey has a five-minute head start," Chris said. The prey runs to the woods to hide.
Confessional: Knick
"Just when I got rid of Lucy bam!" Knick exclaimed. "I have to hunt down the two people who probably hate me the most. I am at a disadvantage already and I know they won't lose easily."
Confessional: Christopher
"Beardo is a surprise to me," Christopher said. "I can't underestimate him as I did with Leon. He can probably pull a bunch of tricks on me that I don't know."
Confessional: Sara
"I hope I can put Dawn to sleep before she starts reading my aura," Sara said. "I don't need someone to talk to me about my past."
Confessional: Pharaoh
"I'm having a hard time figuring out how to trap Shawn," Pharaoh told. "Dude is always on alert and he definitely must know how to make traps as well since he is preparing himself for the zombie apocalypse. I don't think that can happen but I'm not going to talk to him about it.
Confessional: Casey
Casey is shown sleeping with the toilet seat up. Her butt gets stuck into the toilet. Feeling the water, she gasps and wakes up. "Did the island sunk?" She asked. She realizes she is inside the outhouse. "Oh, is just me stuck in this toilet."
End Confessionals
Knick is seen running with his slingshot in the woods. He stops when he hears static from the speakers.
"Attention prey, the hunters are now on the lookout," Chris announced.
"So much for a sneak attack," Knick said and continues to walk through the woods.
Crouching, he enters two bushes. Seeing a shadow-like human figure he walks out of the two bushes and sees Dawn sitting on a stump as a bunch of squirrels get close to her.
"Of course I find the aura whisperer first," Knick stated.
"Hello Knick, trying to find Max and Leon?" Dawn asked.
"Thanks captain obvious," He stated with no emotion. "Chris said that the other campers can't help me, but your prey. Tell me where they are."
"My aura does not work like that Knick," Dawn said. "They will have to be close by for me to sense them."
"Then you're useless to me, just like when you were on season four for your team," Knick said and proceeds to walk away.
"You won't be able to get your parent's affection with what you have done in this game," Dawn said to him. "You know they don't tolerate cheating."
Knick stops in his tracks. The wind blows wildly as he turns around with a blank face at Dawn. "My parents barely gave me love anyway; I don't need their affection. Once I win, they will respect me and acknowledge their middle child."
Knick walks away but hears the final words from the aura whisperer.
"Even though you didn't harm anyone you will suffer a dreaded fate on this show,"
Scene changes to Christopher in another part of the woods sitting on a tree. "Beardo does not seem to possess athletic abilities. Climbing the tallest tree here will allow me to see everyone. Problem is…"
He looks from left to right to see trees with a bunch of colorful leaves. "Every tree practically has the same height." He hears a noise coming from the west. He slowly climbs down the tree. As the person gets closer Christopher pounces in like a lion.
"Hey," Sara simply said trying her best not to make eye contact.
"Oh, forgive me, Sara," Christopher apologized and stands up. He helps her to stand up.
The two look away from each other. Sara crossing her arms and Christopher looking at a bird's next.
"I like you," Sara said quietly.
"Wait, what was that?" Christopher asked. "I was distracted by this bird's nest." He said then points at the said nest on a tree.
"Ugh, I like you, you big handsome idiot," Sara said closing her eyes. "I never wanted to tell you because I don't want people to think I'm soft."
When not hearing a response she sees Christopher chasing after Beardo. She throws her slingshot to the ground almost breaking it.
"Ugh, why can't I just talk to you?" Sara asked herself.
Scene changes to Casey walking on her hands while she looks for Izzy.
"Any moment now," She said to herself smirking.
In no less than two seconds Izzy appears out of a bush.
"Nice job finding me," Izzy said.
"I didn't need to, I know you will want to battle me instead of hiding in the woods for hours," Casey said. She does a backflip and stands on her feet, holding a tranquilizer ball between her index and middle finger. "It's time to duel!"
"Nice, my only true rival was Chef but you will make a great contender," Izzy said. She extends her arms to allow her hunter to get a free shot.
From the range Casey and Izzy are standing, there is no way the hunter can get a good hit. Casey picks up a few pebbles and slings them at her prey. Izzy easily dodges them with a spin to her right.
"Oh, so you play dirty. Well, two can play at that game," Izzy said grinning like a wild animal. She spots a bear eating some berries and hops onto it.
The bear neighs like a horse and runs off into the distance as Izzy rides it. Casey scratches her hair, unsure how she can see chase her prey. Another bear pops out, this one wearing glasses and reading a magazine for bear chicks. Casey grins, knowing how to chase Izzy.
Pharaoh is putting sticky yellow glue on a tree with a large brush. Finish, he climbs down, and the cameras show that he has put sticky glue in a bunch of other trees.
"This should help speed up the progress," Pharaoh said.
Confessional: Pharaoh
"In Pahkitew Island, Shawn will always be sleeping in trees so why not cover trees in glue," Pharaoh confessed.
End Confessional
As Pharaoh walks around Shawn is on a tree that is not covered in glue. A gray monkey is next to him. "Glue in trees? That's pretty clever." Shawn admitted. The monkey jumps from the tree to another one cover in glue. Being stuck, the monkey cries out summoning a tribe of monkeys that have small spears to fit their hands from bushes.
The trapped monkey orders the tribe to attack Pharaoh. Hearing screeching noises, the fake royal turns around to see the tribe of monkeys with spears getting closer to him.
"Aw man, I knew this idea will be bad," Pharaoh exclaimed as he runs from the monkeys.
As he is dealing with monkeys, Christopher loses Beardo. The kung fu fighter walks slowly checking his surroundings.
"He could not have gotten far," Christopher said to himself. He closes his eyes to hear better the woods. He hears running close by and starts to run. He then hears the sound of a woodpecker, then a duck, then a bear.
"Hmm," Christopher wondered if the sounds are real or fake. He looks at a bush nearby and tackles it, revealing Beardo.
Both stand up. "Excellent strategy Beardo, using your sound effects to try to distract me so I won't hear your footsteps."
"Thanks, I thought it would work," Beardo said slowly.
"Nonsense, it caught me off guard, I just had to track the animal sounds you were making. They came from the same distance, so I figured it was you," Christopher said happily.
"Makes sense, I least I gave you some trouble," Beard said now speaking normally.
"Indeed, now please let me throw this tranquilizer ball at your face so I can capture you and achieve victory," Christopher said.
"The way you said it sounds wrong," Beardo admitted.
"How else am I suppose to say it?" The kung fu fighter asked.
Beardo tries to think of something but cannot. "Good point."
As Christopher readies his slingshot, he is hit by a tranquilizer ball from the back of his head. Purple smoke begins to erupt causing him to sleep and fall to the ground. Knick walks into the scene.
"Dude, what was that for?" Beardo asked.
"To make sure I don't lose," Knick simply answered and walks away.
Confessional: Knick
"Chris said none of us can help each other out. He didn't say I can sabotage another hunter," Knick said with a small smile. "With Casey now liking me, Christopher is the biggest threat. He is strong, athletic, and has the brains to back up his physical attributes. It was necessary to put him to sleep."
End Confessional
Casey still is chasing Izzy as they both ride on a bear.
"Hee-yaw bear, hee-yaw!" Izzy chanted and begins to cackle. Casey is a bit behind her.
"Alright Mr. Bear, is time to hibernate," Casey said to the bear she is riding on. She throws a tranquilizer ball hard at the bear's face. Luckily, the gas does not arrive at her nose. The bear slides as it begins to sleep allowing the unpredictable mastermind a needed push to land on the bear Izzy is riding.
"That looked so cool," Izzy said astounded.
"Way cool," Casey agreed.
The two begin to fight while standing on top of the bear as the animal continues to run through the woods. Both Izzy and Casey block their punches and kicks. Izzy then grabs Casey's yellow scarf and uses it to hang onto a tree branch escaping her hunter. Casey looks confused at first until she sees that the bear is headed straight for a beaver dam. The dam breaks from the impact of the bear. Izzy winces trying not to look and also look at the mayhem.
Casey is lying on the broken dam, the bear nowhere to be seen. Most likely the bear left.
"This is fun!" Izzy exclaimed and proceeds to leave with the unpredictable mastermind's long yellow scarf.
"Of course, she realizes this means war," Casey said to the audience. Three beavers appear and start to slap her face with their tails. One of the beavers flips the bird at her and it has to be censored.
Pharaoh is shown again, this time nearby a lake in the woods. He hides in some bushes.
Confessional: Pharaoh
"At some point, Shawn is going to have to drink water," Pharaoh. "I'm kind of guessing things right now because the only traps I think could work are snare traps, but I don't have anything that will catch his attention."
End Confessional
Shawn is shown heading near the river Pharaoh is watching and the conspiracy nut uses his left hand to drink some water.
"Bingo," Pharaoh said quietly to himself. He puts a tranquilizer ball into the slingshot and aims at Shawn. A skunk appears next to Pharaoh out of nowhere. "No, please don't, don't do it." Pharaoh pleaded to the skunk.
The skunk laughs and prepares itself to spray the fake royal. Pharaoh quickly exits the bush screaming. The skunk continues to laugh. Shawn sees his hunter launch a tranquilizer ball at him. He dodges it and the ball hits a bird nearby, causing it to fall asleep and plummet to the ground.
"Dang it," Pharaoh exclaimed.
"Nice try dude," Shawn said and runs off.
Dawn sitting on the same stump is petting a bunny while a bunch of animals like deer, birds, and squirrels are close to the moonchild.
"Finally, I found you," Sara said with a huff. "I know you're not the fighting type so this should be easy." She uses her slingshot and shoots a tranquilizer ball at Dawn.
A brown deer gets in front of the light blonde and blocks the attack. The deer falls asleep immediately.
"Seriously, you're using animals to defend you?" Sara asked a bit surprised.
"No, I would never manipulate animals. They are just defending me from getting harm," Dawn answered sincerely.
"It's a stupid knock out ball," Sara said coldly. "The least it can do is create a rash."
"Having feelings for someone else doesn't make you weak Sara," Dawn said.
"And this why I wanted to knock you out quickly," Sara said with an annoying sigh.
"You've helped and keep helping little ones who cannot defend themselves. Those are feelings of passion and love for others," Dawn continued.
"Can't you just shut up? I know my past already," Sara said trying not to listen to Dawn.
"If you know your past, then I know you will choose your correct future," Dawn said, finishing her advice.
Sara launches another ball only for the gray and white bunny Dawn was petting to intervene. The bunny begins to snore having the effects of the ball.
Confessional: Sara
"Okay, maybe Dawn has a point, so what?" Sara said bitterly. "Whatever, I need to find a way for those animals to go away. I only have one ball left and I cannot get last place."
End Confessional
Knick is shown walking around the woods having no luck on finding Leon and Max. "How hard is it to find these two? Christopher is bound to wake up in an hour and I have seen neither of them once."
Knick sees Beardo dragging a sleepy Christopher around.
"What are you doing?" Knick asked.
"Bringing this dude to the campsite," Beardo replied. "Once he wakes up, he'll just capture me right there."
"Why are you helping him?" Knick wondered.
"He beat me fair and square and frankly, I don't want to see you win dude," Beardo admitted.
"You're lucky I only have two sedative balls left," Knick stated. "If I had an extra, I would have used it on you already."
"Yep, I know," Beardo said with a smile. "See ya."
Once the beatboxer leaves the journalist comes up with a plan. "If I can't go to them, then I will let them come to me."
Casey is wandering around the woods and decides to take a seat and get some shade under a tree despite the woods blocking the sun's heat.
"Okay, this might feel wrong, but it's the only way I can get her to come to me," Casey said to herself. "At this point, she can be wrestling sharks on the shore." She gets up and breaks some branches from the tree she sat next to.
Scene changes to Pharaoh at the campsite using a rope to tie up one of the human size crates.
"This trap isn't going to work unless I have help now that I realize it," Pharaoh admitted.
Coincidently, Beardo comes to the campsite dragging Christopher.
"Geez, this guy has a lot of muscle," Beardo acknowledged. He leaves the fighter on the ground.
"Yo uh, Beardo right?" Pharaoh said trying to remember the cameo's name.
"Yep," Beardo said stretching his back.
"Can you help me with this crate to capture Shawn?" Pharaoh asked kindly.
"Won't that get you eliminated if I help?" Beardo speculated.
"No, only the hunters can't help each other," Pharaoh reminded.
"Aright, I'll help you, I got nothing to do right now," The beatboxer said.
Sara is standing by a tree with her arms crossed looking at Dawn still with so many animals.
Confessional: Sara
"I stopped getting annoyed for the last thirty minutes and now I'm just bored," Sara said. "I can't even get close to her without an animal trying to maul me."
End Confessional
"Dawn, what do I have to do to make you join me to the campsite?" Sara asked.
"Well, the only way I can see that the animals here will let me join you is if they trust you," Dawn explained. "Perhaps something to soothe them."
Sara thinks for a moment tapping her chin. "I guess I can sing. I don't have an amazing voice like Ashley but it's worth trying."
"Splendid," Dawn said clapping her hands.
"But I can't because… I don't have a guitar with me," Sara said proudly. A yellowish-brown deer approaches her with a guitar made of wood. Perfectly carve with strings and everything. Sara processes what she is seeing. "Just finish the challenge," She takes the wooden guitar from the deer's mouth. "Don't overthink what you just saw."
She does a few warmups to get used to the wooden guitar. She begins to tune the song 'Let It Snow' and starts to sing.
"Dear animals, there will be no harm, I know I don't have the biggest charm, but believe me I'm not frightful. In the inside sort of delightful, so please do not attack me no, let Dawn go let Dawn go let Dawn go."
She continues to play the guitar. Noticing the animals relaxing by the singing, she walks slowly to Dawn as she begins her second verse.
"Oh, it's time to be relaxing, cause friends this voice is quite divinely, make your eyelids go down low, let Dawn go let Dawn let Dawn go."
The animals next to Dawn begin to close their eyes fully relax. Sara makes it to Dawn. She carries Dawn on her shoulder.
"Wow, you're very light," Sara said to the moonchild.
"Yes, yes I am," Dawn guaranteed.
With the sweet bad girl no longer playing the guitar the animals open their eyes and begin to growl at her. Sara carrying Dawn makes a run for it and heads back to the campsite.
Casey is on top of a hill where there is no sight of trees. Using the branches, rocks, and other materials she found she makes a smoke signal.
"If I go with primal instinct," Casey said. "Izzy should be here in three, two, one."
The mentioned girl starts somersaulting out of nowhere and stops to look at the smoke signal.
"Ooooo, you're making a fire?" Izzy gasped with amazement. "I just know the thing that can help." She holds a tree sap like a ball in her hands. "My homemade fire starter will just do the trick."
"I should stop you because whatever that is will be dangerous," Casey said. "But it will be rude on my part, so get ahead. I want to see the fireworks."
Both begin to cackle like crazy as the scene changes to Sara carrying Dawn on her right shoulder to the campsite.
"Congratulations Sara for being the first hunter to arrive with their prey," Chris said.
"Yes," Sara cheered. She puts Dawn down so she can cheer better. "Vegetarian buffet here I come."
"Use this paper and pen to write down how big the buffet you want," Chris said and gives a blank paper and pen to her. "Don't worry about going overboard, its going to come out of Chef's paycheck."
"Is it okay for Dawn to eat stuff from the buffet as well?" Sara asked the host.
"Hmm sure why not," Chris shrugged.
The three hear an explosion coming from a hill nearby. They turn to see orange smoke rising.
"That brings me nostalgia," Chris said smiling.
"Shouldn't you call Chef to water that down?" Sara questioned.
"Nah, the weather reporter said it will be raining in about a few hours," Chris confidently said
Back to where the explosion happened, Izzy is shown cover in black ash and sleeping peacefully. Casey walks up to the dreamer as the smoke continues to rage behind her providing a nice background to show how crazy this girl is.
"Game over sleeping beauty," She said grinning and suddenly get all bubbly. "Oh my gosh that was so much fun, we have to do that sometime again."
Knick wanders around and finds Beardo and Pharaoh preparing a trap for Shawn.
"This is getting ridiculous," Knick stated.
"You sound very calm when you said that," Pharaoh told as he and Beardo finish putting the trap in place.
"I tend to not let emotions get the best of me," Knick said. "Also, how is that going to catch Shawn?"
The camera pans to Pharaoh and Beardo's trap. Its a deadfall trap but instead of having a heavy rock on top to squash, it is a human-size crate the two grabbed earlier. It is tilted at a certain angle and held up with sections of branches, with one of them serving as a trigger.
"We thought that by placing something shiny under here will lure Shawn to get it," Pharaoh informed as he shows the journalist a small glimmering diamond in his left hand.
"Isn't that from Crowstillo's treasure?" Knick pondered.
"It's fake, we just made it look shining," Beardo answered.
"Attention campers," Chris said through speakers. "Sara and Casey have already completed their challenges, better get a move on."
"Well, this makes things easier," Knick said. He prepares to aim at Pharaoh. "Thanks for voting off Lucy by the way."
Using the slingshot, the journalist launches the ball and causes Pharaoh to inhale the smoke, falling asleep. He takes the fake royal's pouch and put the extra tranquilizer balls into his pouch.
"Dude, you must be desperate to win," Beardo said.
"Not my fault I have to capture two people," Knick stated. Both teens hear a fart coming from a short distance. "Perfect," Knick said with a dark grin. He leaves Beardo alone with a sleeping Pharaoh.
Shawn climbs down from a tree to meet up with his fellow Pahkitew comrade.
"Well, that sucks," Shawn said as he sees his hunter on the ground. "You think he will wake up sooner than later?"
Beardo just shrugs not knowing.
Confessional: Knick
"The effects on Christopher will be shorting out momentarily," Knick stated. "Even though I am at a disadvantage, taking out Pharaoh gives me extra time to deal with Max and Leon."
End Confessional
Max and Leon are sitting behind two green bushes in the woods.
"This is boring Leon," Max said to her friend. "Can't we just gang up on Knick?"
"Knick has been full of surprises," Leon replied. "Staying away from him is the best possible way for the others to win. Sara and Casey already have finished. Christopher and Pharaoh just need to complete their challenge."
"I'm getting hungry though," Max said.
"We just had berries five minutes ago," Leon told her.
"And I am still hungry," Max responded.
Suddenly, both can smell a tasty meal in the forest.
"Is that Lucy's parmesan chicken?" Max said happily. She tries to get out of her hiding spot but Leon intervenes.
"Don't you think is weird that Lucy, who was just voted off yesterday has her food in the middle of this forest?" Leon asked.
"Who cares I'm hungry," Max told him and jumps out of the bush. She sees a chicken parmesan on a silver plate and gobbles it down quickly. A tranquilizer ball hits the back of her neck making fall asleep and face plant herself onto the food.
"Well, well, well," Knick said as he walked up to his prey. "Shame, I honestly thought you would not fall for a simple mind trick like that." He told Max.
"I know you're there Leon and I know you won't try to escape," Knick stated. "Would be awful not to save your friend now wouldn't it?"
Leon gets out of his hiding spot, clenching his fists as the two boys do a staredown.
Confessional: Knick
"Thank you, Lucy, for providing your recipe," Knick thanked with a smirk, holding the recipe in his left hand.
End Confessional
"Are we going to do this the easy way or the hard way?" Knick asked already preparing his slingshot with a purple ball.
"Why did you get rid of me in the first place?" Leon asked.
Knick launches one ball and Leon dodges it. The lionheart brawler charges as Knick takes another ball from his pouch. The journalist underestimates Leon's speed and the brawler slaps away the slingshot as the item drops to the ground. He then tackles Knick to the ground.
"Give up, you're pinned," Leon told Knick.
"You forgot I like to play dirty," Knick responded and uses his right hand to grab dirt from the ground. He throws dirt at the brawler's eyes causing Leon to let go of him.
Knick backs away a safe distance, grabs his slingshot, and fires another purple ball but Leon dodges it swiftly even with his eyes covered in dirt.
"Looks like he learned a new trick from wrestling with Christopher," Knick said quietly to himself.
Leon takes the dirt out of his eyes. "He already used up his shots, why is he so confident on beating me?" He wondered to himself quietly. "Chef only gave three, right?"
"I don't have time to play," Knick stated.
"I'm too far away for him to get a proper hit," Leon said quietly. "If I stay just away until he gets tired, I can get Max and escape."
Knick grabs a rock from the ground.
Leon's eyes wide up. "Don't you dare Knick."
Knick scraps his right arm causing blood to come out and drip which makes the brawler look away and cover his eyes.
"Dammit, what is wrong with you?" Leon asked.
"I will do whatever it takes to win, even if it means breaking your spirit," Knick stated. He readies his slingshot and gets a direct hit at his prey.
Leon coughs as the tranquilizer ball starts to take effect. He stares intensely and charges again at the journalist.
"He's resisting, I should run before…" Before Knick can say anything else, Leon punches his face, knocking out the silver glasses Knick uses.
Knick is taken aback from the punch and stays on his feet. He touches the right side of his face. He sighs in relief knowing that none of his teeth are knocked out thought the bruise hurts a lot. Leon falls asleep being defeated.
"Another punch like that I would have been knocked out," Knick stated still touching his bruise that is now black and blue. "He's very strong that's for sure."
At the campsite, Sara, Dawn, Izzy, and Casey are enjoying a vegetarian buffet. Each plate has vegetables but in a different way that is cook. Some are grilled, others cover in garlic sautéed, marinated, steam, and some are in soup.
"It's nice of you to let us eat Sara," Casey said.
"I wasn't going to let you girls starve until the challenge is over," Sara said with a shrug.
"Look someone is coming," Izzy said pointing.
It is Shawn and Beardo, the beatboxer looking tired.
"Aren't you supposed to be still in the woods Shawn?" Dawn asked.
"Yeah, but Knick put Pharaoh to sleep and the dude is not going to wake up for another hour," Shawn explained. "I figure Knick is going to come back with Leon and Max before Pharaoh can wake up."
"Don't say that," Sara said. "Yeah Pharaoh did wrong stuff but I don't want Knick in the final four."
"Too late," Knick said to her as the campers and cameos look at Knick dragging a tie-up Max and Leon through the ground. "Lucky me that Leon doesn't weight that much when he is asleep."
Chris walks out of the confessional outhouse after doing his business and sees Knick with his prey. "Congratulations Knick, you're the third contestant to finish the challenge. You are safe for another day."
"Thank you, Chris," Knick said with a smile. He walks to the buffet table, but Sara pulls the chair away as he was about to sit in it.
"You're not getting anything from this buffet," Sara told him. She notices the bruise he has on the left side of his face. "Chris, call Chef, Knick has a nasty bruise."
The host runs to her and sees the mark. Chris winces uncomfortably. "Yeah, let me go get Chef. Stay here, Knick."
As Chris goes to find Chef, Christopher wakes up yawning. He notices Beardo eating a veggie burger and tackles him to the ground.
"Yes, I have caught you at last," Christopher said proudly. He looks around and notices he is at the campsite. "How did I get here?"
Before anyone can answer Chris arrives with Chef. Chef is in a nurse outfit and proceeds to take Knick to the infirmary or what left of it.
"Congratulations Christopher, you're the fourth camper to complete their challenge," Chris told the kung fu fighter.
"Yes," Christopher exclaimed. "Though I feel like I took too long."
"Does that mean.." Casey tried to ask until the host answers her.
"Yes Casey, Pharaoh is being eliminated from the competition," Chris said. "We'll just have to wait until the kid wakes up."
Two hours past and Pharaoh wakes up, stretching his arms. He notices a bunch of magpie birds on the trees. These birds are black and white but these seem to appear more big and ferocious than regular magpies. Pharaoh sees them gazing at the fake shiny diamond on the ground.
"Uh, oh," Pharaoh said to himself and braces for impact as the magpies start to make noises and attack him.
Chef, on a golf cart, searches for Pharaoh around the woods. He stops when he sees the fake royal cover in scratches and feathers. Pharaoh spits out feathers.
"Let's go, kid, you're done," Chef told him.
"By done you mean…"
"Yes, eliminated, the others already finished the challenge," Chef answered.
Pharaoh sighs in defeat. "I was afraid of that."
Campsite Ceremony
Christopher, Knick who is using an icepack to heal his bruise, and Pharaoh are sitting on the porch of the boy's cabin while Casey and Sara sit on the porch of the girl's cabin. Chris and Chef are standing in front of them.
"There are no marshmallows for today," Chris told the campers. "Instead, each of you can say your goodbyes to Pharaoh. Five minutes only."
Sara walks to the boy's cabin while Casey shrugs, not wanting to say goodbye.
Confessional: Casey
"I don't need to say goodbye, I don't even know him," Casey admitted.
End Confessional
"Glad you lost," Knick told Pharaoh. "As I told you before, you only lasted this long because of me." The journalist heads into the boy's cabin.
"You did well Pharaoh," Christopher said to Pharaoh and pats his shoulder.
"Ow," Pharaoh said with pain.
"Sorry," Christopher said and heads inside the boy's cabin.
Sara and Pharaoh look at each other.
"Sad that you're leaving?" Sara asked.
"I don't want to leave," Pharaoh told her. "Everybody in the team I was in pretty much hates me. I don't know how to confront them when I see them again."
"Makes sense, they have a right to be furious," Sara said.
The two decide to continue to talk as they walk to the catapult of shame.
"Total Drama is going to be over and I wasn't able to show the real me. I thought people like Lucy or Knick would figure me out quickly," Pharaoh admitted.
"You were a really good actor," Sara said.
"What's worse is that I was never able to make a proper friend," Pharaoh told her.
"Look," Sara said and stands in front of him to stop. "You should have known people were going to be mad at you for pretending to be somebody you're not. No matter what they say, you are who you are. Prove to them who is the real Pharaoh and let themselves heal on their own time."
"Wow," Pharaoh said astonished. "That's the most amazing advice anybody has ever told me.
"Besides, you made at least one friend here," Sara said and begins to smile, and she barely smiles. "Me."
Pharaoh smiles at what she said. "Thanks, make sure to get back with Christopher."
"I'll do my best," Sara said unsure.
"As Pharaoh, I command you to sort things out with him," Pharaoh said in his fake royal persona.
"Don't push it, dude," Sara joked.
"Alright, enough with the friendship talk, time to take the catapult," Chris told Pharaoh. Both have arrived at their destination.
Pharaoh hops in. "I'll be rooting for you," He told his new friend. Sara gives a thumbs and Chef pulls the lever.
"Aw man, I wanted him to scream," Chris said. "Anyway, we are down to the final four, only two episodes left folks. What kind of challenge will I pit the campers to face to make it to the finale? Will Casey and Knick continue to make out? Will Sara ever restore her friendship with Christopher? Will they become something more? Find out these questions next time on Total… Drama… Crowstillo Island!"
