A/N: So apparently Jeremiah sings more than I've been writing, but if I add that in it'll disrupt the flow of writing. So just be aware that if he's not talking he's probably singing under his breath.
The sun beat down heavily on Team Chris and Team Victory. Team Misfit was nowhere in sight as they had a camel. While the other two teams were stuck running. Helen trailed behind her team, but otherwise Team Chris was ahead.
Of course this wasn't enough to stop arguing. "Slow down! Are trying to leave me behind!" Helen complained.
"What is Total Drama's biggest fan incapable of keeping up?" Madison scoffed.
"You're all just jealous of how big a star I'll be!" The fangirl retorted.
"So you see the Nile yet? ' glorious leader.'" Ed asked Rhys.
"No, but its length covers Egypt so as long as we keep moving the right direction we should get there." Rhys replied.
"That's the spirit! I knew you had a lighthearted side cutie." Nathan flirted.
"We need to focus on the challenge Nathan, not flirting!" the brunette complained.
Rhys turned to Team Victory. "I apologize if my teammates are bothering you."
Alejandro smirked back. "Not at all, in fact I'm humbled by your ability to lead such a rowdy group."
"Uh, thanks but you're doing well too." the brunette responded.
"My team is relatively quiet, and I don't have to ward off unwanted advances." The charmer replied.
"I wouldn't say that, you're pretty popular." Rhys smiled.
"Hearing that from one such as you is an honor." Alejandro said. Nathan gave Rhys a confused look.
(Confessional)
Nathan: So it's okay for Alejandro to flirt with him? What's he doing differently?"
Static
Rhys: Alejandro was complimenting my leadership skills, not flirting.
Static
Alejandro glanced back at his teammates and moved his head in a separate direction. Kennedy, Stefans, and Veronica nodded. The group began to silently move away from Team Chris. Alister and Martha shrugged but followed along.
Once Team Chris was out of sight, Alejandro broke the stick in half. Alister was not pleased. "What the eff! You just broke our prize!"
"Alister there is no need for such language. I'm certain he has a reason." Stafans noted.
The stick began to shake. Veronica gasped. "It's a divining rod!"
"You didn't know that?" Kennedy asked.
"You did?" The raven haired girl responded.
"Well duh! Chris hands us a forked stick when we have to find water! Of course it's a divining rod!"
"Nifty!" Martha blinked. "What's a divining rod?"
"We can find water with it." Stefans explained.
"Oh...Nifty!" the clown cheered.
"Why didn't you two say something earlier!" Alister yelled.
"If we revealed its purpose in front of the others, we would have lost our advantage. Surely you can understand that?" Alejandro asked.
"I guess." The rash boy pouted.
(confessional)
Alister: 'Surely you can understand that?' He is so full of himself! You're not better than me Al! You're not!

Team Misfit was riding their camel in the general direction Chris had pointed. Patrica held onto the neck, with Jeremiah and Leilani just behind her. Amber and Jeroboam sat just behind them, and Georgia sat at the end.
"Hey, I'm sorry if sitting on my lap is uncomfortable, it was the only way to avoid someone having to sit under the camel's rear end." Amber told him.
"I'm fine, it's better than being the butt of the joke." Jeroboam smiled.
Amber chuckled despite herself. "Normally, I'm pretty serious, but you're funny."
"Now you're mocking me? I've never been so offended!" Jeroboam said in a mocking tone.
"You know the number of people who get offended that easily is higher than you think. I would know, most of them visit the Mayor office." Amber smirked.
"Does anyone see the Nile yet?" Georgia called. A chorus of no's were her reply.
"Don't worry. As long as we head in the right direction, we'll find it." Amber reassured her.
/
Team Victory arrived at the Nile in record time. "There's the finish line!" Martha cheered.
"Yeah, across the river." Veronica sighed. The river was full of crocodiles.
Chris sat in a chair across the river. "Welcome to the third challenge." He called.
"What the eff are you saying!" Alister yelled back. Chris tried to tell them again. "I can't effin hear you!"
Chris snapped his fingers and Noah handed him a giant megaphone. The cynic was wearing earplugs. "I said welcome to the third and final Egyptian challenge!" The force was enough to shake the group. "Basket cases! Each team must weave a basket of river reeds. Including your reward from last challenge, you know the stick. Then you're gonna use the basket together with those oars to row yourself across the finish line. First team across flies first class to our next destination."
"This is perfect! I'm great at weaving!" Kennedy exclaimed, running over to grab reeds.
"If it's like tying balloons I'll do good!" Martha cheered joining the prankster.
"I have great experience in the weaving department." Stefans added.
"Very well, I leave the weaving in your capable hands." Alejandro told the three.
"Thank you for the vote of confidence Alejandro sir. I won't let you down." The servant replied.
/
Meanwhile Team Chris were still looking for the Nile, some were fine with this, yet others were losing patience. "Face it loser we're lost ain't we?" Ed confronted Rhys.
"We're not lost, as I said before the Nile spans across Egypt. We haven't made any turns since Chris pointed us in this direction. We're probably just going slowly Edward." Rhys replied.
"Did I say you could call me Edward?" The con artist sneered.
"Did I say you could call me loser?" Rhys retorted.
"Ya don't ask permission to call someone a loser. You do it to annoy them." Ed scoffed.
"Precisely." the brunette stated. Realizing what he meant, Ed gave him a scowl.
Corbyn stepped between them. "Come on guys, we're all just hot and tired. Things'll look up soon."
Nathan interjected. "Yeah, and the more we argue the longer it'll take to get there."
"I'd just like to point out that I offered to lead!" Helen added.
"Right, because you haven't been trailing behind us the whole time." Madison deadpanned.
"I'm conserving my energy!" Helen defended.
Madison looked like she was about to say something when Nathan put a hand on her shoulder. "She's not worth it."
The group continued traveling.
/
Team Misfit was riding through the desert. While Jeroboam, Amber, and Georgia chatted in the back, Jeremiah, Leilani, and Patricia were playing I spy."
Leilani was holding Violet up, as if the doll were taking her turn. "I spy with my little eye, something brown." She deadpanned.
"Sand." Jeremiah answered.
"Yes." The horror fanatic nodded.
"I spy with my little eye, something that is white." Jeremiah said.
"Skull." Patricia whispered.
"Right!" Jeremiah smiled.
The photographer scratched her head as though in thought. "Why here?"
"It's fake." Leilani stated.
"It's just a prop." Jeremiah said at the same time. The two looked at each other. "It's a reality show of course there's gonna be props. That's a cow skull, it's unlikely a cow would be in the middle of nowhere."
"Skulls yellow with age, even at their whitest they aren't that white." Leilani added. "Your turn Patricia."
I spy... something blue!" Patrica exclaimed.
"The Nile!" The whole team cried.
"Alright everyone prepare to disembark." Amber ordered.
/
Team Victory is about halfway through weaving their boat. Team Misfit arrives and Georgia gets off the back of the camel. Martha runs to her. "You're finally here! We're about halfway done with our boat!"
"So I see. Have you been contributing?" Georgia asked.
"Yes sirree I have! I'm okay at basket weaving. A little messier than Stefans and Kennedy, but still pretty good!" the clown exclaimed.
"Indeed. Well I must let you get back to your team." Georgia replied.
"Alrighty then!" Martha agreed, she skipped back to her boat.
Georgia turned to Amber. "We're weaving baskets. They have two good weavers and an adequate one. I'm quite adept at weaving. How are your skills?"
"Excellent, I've knitted a lot." Amber replied. She turned to the other four."Can any of you weave?"
"I'm slow, but I can do it." Jeroboam nodded.
"I can tie a knot." Leilani deadpanned.
"I'm useless." Jeremiah sighed. Patricia nodded.
"Very well, Georgia, Jeroboam, and I will weave the boat. You three focus on figuring out how to get the camel in." Amber told them.
Team Chris finally arrived. Some time has passed as the Misfit's boat is a fourth built, while Victory's is halfway done. "We made it guys!" Corbyn cheered.
"Don't get too excited. We still have to finish the challenge." Rhys noted.
Across the river, Chris and Chef were sitting in a couple of lounge chairs. Noah stood to the left, holding the megaphone for Chris. "Weave a basket boat out of reeds, row to the finish, yadda, yadda, yadda."
"Just so we're clear you have to take your prizes across with you." Noah added.
Team Chris just stood there a moment. "Well what do we do now oh 'glorious leader?' " Ed snarked.
"Does anyone know how to weave?" Rhys asked.
"Only on a skateboard." Corbyn sighed.
"I'm okay?" Madison said dubiously.
"I can weave, but I ain't the best at quality." Ed shrugged.
"If someone shows me how I can probably pick it up." Nathan reassured.
Rhys sighed. "Okay, I don't know either, but I'm a quick learner. If I watch someone else do it I should be good." With that Rhys began to watch Stefans, having discerned him to be the best weaver. Alejandro noticed his glance and gave him a wink. Rhys smiled back shyly, before shaking his head, He had to focus.
Meanwhile Helen had approached Ed. "So, how are you at distractions?"
"I could prob'ly make a short one, but it'll cost ya." The con artist replied.
"Here's seven bucks." The fangirl said, handing him the money.
Ed counted it out. "Pleasure doin' business with ya." He smirked and walk closer to team Victory. "Hey losers, we're gonna win even with yer time advantage!"
"You calling me a loser?" Alister growled.
"Who did ya think I meant? The camel?" The con artist goaded.
"No one calls me a loser!" The track star roared, rushing him. This was enough to make Stafans interfere, holding him back, as Alejandro tried to calm him. The other members watched on, some in bemusement and some in horror.
Helen seized the opportunity, leading the goat to Victory's boat, where it began to eat it. She smirked and turned to join her team. Unbeknownst to her one member of Team Victory had seen her. Kennedy threw a small sticky object her way. It stuck to her clothes. The girl giggled.
(confessional)
Kennedy: Introducing the self sticking stink pellet! (She holds up a small pellet covered is a sticky goo.) This baby is made with my own recipe for stink pellets, and a coat of a sticky slime I created. It sticks to anything you throw it at and can detonate at any time!
Static.
Shortly after that they noticed the goat had eaten a fourth of the boat. Alejandro picked up the animal and approached the team. "Rhys, I believe this is yours."
The brunette had started weaving, and was coaching Nathan when he arrived. He noticed the goat, looked at the team's destroyed boat and pieced together what had happened. "I'm so sorry! He must have wandered away. Corbyn please keep an eye on the goat." He requested.
"You got it!" The free spirit said with a wink. He lead the goat away.
Rhys sighed. "I really am sorry."
"That is alright. I know you weren't responsible." Alejandro smiled.
"Still thank you for being so understanding." He responded.
The Spaniard drew close. "Thank you for being so honest." He whispered.
Rhys nodded a little flustered. "You're welcome." As the charmer walked away Nathan gave him an odd look. "What?"
/
After a time skip everyone had their boats finished. The focus is on team Misfit, who had just finished. Amber turned to Jeremiah, Leilani, and Patricia. "Have you figured out how to get the camel on?" Rather than answer her the three began to sing.
(To the tune of 'just let us adore you. ' from Steven Universe the movie.)
Jeremiah, Leilani and Patricia begin to lead the camel to the boat as they sing. "Come climb with us in the boat, there's a spot waiting for you."
"Come on." Patricia sang
"Come on" Jeremiah added.
"Come on." Leilani continued.
"Just let us escort you." They all sang.
The three have the camel halfway on the boat. "Yes we know you helped us, without a fuss." The camel took another step in. "So now let us help out you, it's the only thing to do." The camel took one last step onto the boat.
Amber blinked. "Well it worked."
"We figured if it worked on the scarabs it might work on the camel." Jeremiah explained.
"Jeremiah just wanted an excuse to sing." Leilani teased. Patricia giggled. The musical nerd grinned sheepishly.
"Alright let's head off!" Amber ordered. With that Team Misfit began to row their boat. Team Victory had already started, and Team Chris was nearly there.
"Can't you go any faster?" Ed complained.
"We have to make sure it floats first!" Rhys retorted. Luckily for them the boat did float. "Alright everyone paddle!" All three teams were now rowing across.
On the shore opposite the three teams Chris smirked at Chef. "Well now." He chuckled at the cook. "Clearly this part of the challenge isn't hard …" The ding that preludes a song rang. "Time for a musical reprise!" Everyone groaned. "Hey if you had finished the song the first time you wouldn't be here!"
Noah moved the megaphone in front of him."Just go with it, it's the least you'll have to deal with on this show."
(Reprise two: It's rowing time)
The teens look behind them to see crocodile surfacing. "Crocodile amigos, what you swarming for?" Alejandro sang. Martha and Kennedy smack a couple crocs that are too close
"We don't wanna bug you!" Jeremiah sang as he rowed, the crocodile jumping out of the water,
"That's not what we're here for!" Amber sang, also rowing.
"The Crocs are getting killy!" Corbyn exclaimed.
"Just hold onto the goat." Rhys said to him. "We're going to lose if it gets out of the boat." At that moment the stink pellet on Helen exploded, sending a terrible smell in the air. The goat smells it and jumps out of the boat. Everyone is so distracted by the crocodiles , that only Corbyn notices.
"It's rowing time!" Alejandro sang.
"Vanquishin'! Vanquishin'!" Everyone else sang as they rowed. "Crocodile season!"
"It's rowing time!" Nathan sang.
"Crocodiles! Crocodiles!" everyone else sang.
A crocodile bumps the boat causing Madison to stumble."Please help I'll fall in!"
"It's rowing time!" Patricia sang from on top of the camel.
"Sinkin' in, sinkin' in!" Everyone else sang. "Crocodile season!"
"It's rowing time!" Nathan sang.
"Rowing time, Rowing time!" Everyone else sang as Victory's boat passed. They get to shore, followed by Team Misfit, then Team Chris.
Alister smirked. "Til' team victory!"
"Winnns!" The rest of the team sang. "Yeah!"
"Congrats! You're alive, and as long as you all brought your rewards to the finish line, there will be no elimination tonight!" Chris told them.
Everyone cheered until Corbyn admitted. "The goat jumped out of the boat when that horrible smell filled it." Ed glared at him, but Nathan backed him up.
"Hey, Helen's the one who smells right now. She must have been the source!" He claimed.
Chris chuckled. "Wow sucks to be you guys!"
/
We return to the plane for elimination. Chris stands at a makeshift podium and Noah stands left. "What are you doing here?"
"I wanna watch." He shrugged. "Sue me."
Chris shrugged,"As the team with my namesake I am disappointed in your loss. It's time to vote. Up in the loser class bathroom you'll find six passports; Stamp the passport of the person you wanna vote out. Got it?" Everyone nodded.
(Confessional)
Corbyn: Sorry but I don't wanna go home! (he stamps Helen's passport)
Static
Ed: I should vote fer Helen, but messin' with our glorious leader is too fun. (He stamps Rhys' passport)
Static
Madison: Goodbye you overbearing, self obsessed, fangirl! You don't care about the fandom at all! (She stamps Helen's passport.)
Static
Nathan: I gotta back up my bro. (He stamps Helen's passport) Besides it'll get me points with Rhys.
Static
Rhys: Helen you have done nothing but drag the team down and start fights. (He stamps Helen's passport) There's no I in team.
Static
Helen: Please like anyone's gonna vote for me! Rhys deserves to go for challenging my leadership! (She stamps, Rhys' passport)
Static
"I've got the results right here!" Chris begins. "Those staying in the game will get in flight snacks." He held up the bag of peanuts. "Mmm Barfy." Noah looked a bit sick. "The following players are safe." As he says each name he throws them a barf bag. "Nathan, Corbyn, Madison, Ed. And the last bag goes to…" Helen and Rhys gave each other challenging glares. "Rhys." The brunette smirked.
"This is rigged! There's no way I got more votes than him!" Helen exclaimed.
Chris threw a parachute at Helen. "You've got five seconds to strap this on or the drop of shame will become the drop of pain!"
"Whatever! You're just jealous cause you knew I'd be more popular than you." She stomped to the door. "And Noah no matter how much you want to deny it NoCo Is a popular ship!"
At first the cynic looked furious but then a dark smirk that wouldn't look out of place on Chris, settled on his face. "Can I push her off the plane?"
"Be my guest," The host told shoved Helen off the plane then pat his hands like he was removing chalk dust.
Outside the plane we see Helen has grabbed onto the tail fin. "I will become a star!"
/
(Confessional)
Alejandro: If they weren't all new I'd have a bigger advantage. It doesn't matter though. I am an expert of manipulation, and with Stefans on my side I know I have a loyal ally. He doesn't know my real nature, no one does, and I intend to keep it that way, because compared to me Heather's a saint!
Static
Chris is in the cockpit with Chef. "Finally a real competitor. Where will our next destination take us? Will Amber stop getting airsick? Find out next time on an all new episode of total drama world tour!"
Bonus clip
Helen sat in the cargo hold. "They think this is the end of Helen woods? It's only the beginning. "My star will rise. I will be famous." A dark smirk lights her face. "Or rather infamous."
A/N: So to no one's surprise Helen leaves first. I knew the moment I got her application she's replace Ezekiel. Of course Helen's going to have a larger more vindictive role. I hope you like it. Now for your questions.
Is your OC still in character?
What do they want to do before they die?
How are they with animals?
How are their acting skills?
See you in two weeks!
