A/N: I'm sorry for the unbelievably long delay in posting this, but here's chapter 11 of TDWT, and here to do the disclaimer, we have Geoff. Hit it!
Geoff: SL88 does not own Harry Potter or TDWT, only his OC Joshua.
SL88: Thanks, Geoff. Now then, for some replies to reviews that I failed to acknowledge in the last chapter, and I apologize if I didn't, but I'm acknowledging them now.
Will-I-Am Walker: I'm not pushing them out of the plane, as that makes no sense, and because I wrote this before I saw TDWT, so I didn't know about it then, but now that I do know, I like my system of elimination better, as it is more return-proof and harder to sneak through. Also, the farewell song bit, sounds a bit overkill-ish to me, but it could work. And as for the warnings, that's why I added the Loser Cam in, plus I think a story has more suspense in it if people don't get a lot of warning about stuff beforehand, though some things require such warning (e.g. a conspiracy or a returning contestant), and I usually hint at major plot points in my Author's Note section before and after each chapter.
cometsgirl (chapter 9) Sorry again for not acknowledging your review sooner, and thanks for it. Anyhow, yeah he does have a strong inner gangster, but it is slowly shown over the course of the story. As for Izzy, she's already been eliminated from the show, but yes it was Izzy they were trying to recruit, but after she refused them, she was deemed a threat and voted off despite switching teams. And as for the Harry/Heather deal, that's upcoming. Actually, I'm trying to set the plot to lead up to it, so look for it within the next few chapters. And if you could, go back and read and review Chapter 10 before you read this one since some of this chapters plot wont make sense if you don't read Chapter 10 first. But thanks for your review. And good luck with Total Drama Impossible! I look forward to reading more of it! Anyhow, I need to get to my fic, so on with the show!
Chapter 11- An Egyptian Dramafest
(recap, narrated by Hatchet)
"Last time on Total Drama World Tour, our remaining campers ventured into New York, where they were challenged to scale the Statue of Liberty and search for a case that was stored there for them and bring it back down. Since the Amazons finished the race last, they got to open their case first, only for it to reveal the Team Swap card, causing Hermione and Izzy to switch teams. Meanwhile, the Gilded Victors opened their case to find not one but two cards when they got the Invincibilty AND Return Contestant cards, causing Duncan to return on their team AND the Victors won invincibility while the Amazons went to the Trans-Global Flag ceremony since they placed last in the race, despite the Screaming Chrises' case being empty. A real shocker then ensued, when it came down to Izzy and Bridgette for the final New York flag, only for Bridgette to get it, making Izzy the unfortunate soul bound for the Flight of Failure. With Izzy gone, will the Screaming Chrises be able to quietly pick their opponents off, bit by bit, or will their plot be undone? To find out, keep watching Total…..Drama….World Tour!"
(cue theme song, and we're good to go!)
(Chris' POV)
"Chris, my boy, now that your training is nearly complete, the time has come for you to take my mark and become my servant." Tom said to me as I stared back at him blankly.
"As you wish, Master." I replied back to him in a monotone voice as he said,
"MORSEMORDE!",
and my world went black.
(AoA, Victors' area)
"Damn, why do I keep getting woke up like this?" Harry grumbled, having been woke up yet again by a vision of Chris.
"Harry? That you?" Joshua, who had been awakened by Harry's cursing, asked.
"Yeah, sorry if I woke you, Joshua, I just had another vision." Harry replied.
"Oh, that sucks, Harry. Was it a bad one?" Joshua asked Harry.
"Yes, it was very bad." Harry replied.
"Oh, that's awful." Joshua said.
"What's wrong now?" Gwen, who had just woke up to the hushed voices of Joshua and Harry, asked.
Joshua looked up and saw Gwen awake, then said,
"Sorry if I woke you, Gwen, but Harry had another vision apparently."
Gwen was initially annoyed by being awoken at such an early hour, but upon hearing the word Vision, her features softened up considerably.
"Oh, that sucks, Harry." Gwen said to Harry. She then kissed Ezekiel, who was still asleep, and went into the bathroom to get changed.
"Ugh, did someone say vision?" Eva asked, having been woke up after getting stepped on (accidentally, of course) by Joshua.
"Oh, sorry Eva. Yeah, Harry had a vision." Joshua replied.
"Oh, okay, and it sounds bad, by looking at poor Harry here." Eva remarked.
"mmm, what sounds bad, eh?" muttered a very groggy but just waking Ezekiel.
"Harry had another vision, Zeke." Eva answered Ezekiel.
"Oh, okay, that sucks, eh." Ezekiel replied. Then he turned to Harry.
"So, what was it about, eh?" Ezekiel asked.
"That's a good question." Gwen said, as she walked back in.
"It was about Chris and the Dark Lord. Apparently Chris is being initiated as a Death Eater, so it seems we have to act fast to save the show." Harry replied, as Joshua, Gwen, Eva, and Ezekiel's eyebrows all shot up in surprise at this, though what they didn't know was that at that moment, one of their own was conspiring with the enemy…
(AoA, Chrises area)
"So, you say Potter's been having visions of The Dark Lord?" Ron asked the person sitting in front of him.
"That is correct. The most recent one had The Dark Lord in Chris' body, killing his nurses and escaping the hospital, so we can bet he's on his way here." the hooded figure facing Ron said.
"This is good news…..DJ. Now, help me rally my allies. We attack at the next elimination ceremony." Ron said to DJ.
"Yes, Ron, as you will it." DJ said.
"Also, tell no one and I mean NO ONE of this meeting, got it?" Ron asked DJ.
"Okay, Ron." DJ replied.
"Good. Now, our next target is…."
(AoA, Dining Area)
"So, what you're saying is that Harry is seeing visions of Chris being possessed by someone thought to return from the dead, and that someone's enabled him to escape his hospital and head this way?" Noah asked Joshua sarcastically as Joshua was explaining the goings-on to him, as he'd asked about how Harry was doing.
"Yeah, so that's why I think we should form our own alliance to ensure that Ron or any of the Screaming Chrises is the next to fall. Besides, as I understand it, you had a incident at the Trans-Global flag ceremony last night, correct?" Joshua replied to Noah.
"Yeah, we all had the vote set to oust Harold, but it was Izzy who lost instead. I still don't get it." Noah replied.
"I think I might understand it Noah, but still I think Ron had a hand in that, since Izzy DID rebuke Ron's offer to join his alliance, so he had her eliminated since she was too much of a threat to his plans, effectively silencing her in the process. It makes sense, and sounds like something I'd do." Joshua said to Noah.
"Ah, touche, Joshua. But don't we need proof before we can form a voting bloc against him?" Noah asked.
"Perhaps." Joshua replied. But whatever they were musing was quickly interrupted, as the intercom sprang to life just then.
"Attention, all contestants! We have now arrived in our next destination. Repeat, we've arrived at our next destination. All contestants to the Mess Hall. That is all." Hatchet said over the intercom. Joshua and Noah exchanged a glance with one another, then strode off to find their teams after wishing one another luck.
When the contestants got to the Mess Hall, they were surprised to see not only Hatchet, but also Chris standing there.
"So, Maclean, you made a full recovery then, I take it?" Duncan asked Chris with a raised eyebrow.
"Aren't you supposed to be eliminated?" Chris replied to Duncan.
"I was, but then I returned to the game in the last challenge on the Gilded Victors, so I came right as Izzy was voted off, along with Courtney, Owen, Draco and Heather." Duncan replied. Chris growled at hearing that Heather was out of the game. What he did not know, was that she was also in prison, and very much in a bad way…..
(meanwhile at an unknown location, Heather's POV)
I opened my eyes to find myself in a small stone room, surrounded by one window, a sink, and what appeared to be a very old and very rusty bucket, with one small bed where I had just lain, with very uncomfortable mattresses on it, and when I looked over and saw the bars, I knew I was in prison. But what I didn't know was WHERE it was, and why there were weird cloaked creatures flocking over me, trying to suck the happiness away from me. Of course, normally that's not a problem because I'm not that happy of a person, but I abhor the idea of being controlled by anyone else even when my life is in the balance. I then sat up and rubbed my face gently, musing on how I'd gotten there, when the last thing I remembered was being up for elimination, and not having gotten a flag yet… wait a second, who got eliminated that day? I wondered to myself. I then sat up and called for a guard, only to be knocked on my butt not five seconds later, as I was attacked by one of the cloaked creatures, as it tried to suck my face, then the next thing I knew, I found myself passing out…
(Back with the competition…)
"So, teams, returning competitors, sneaks, (here he shot a venomous glare at Duncan), your next challenge is to try to either go over or under this Egyptian pyramid, being sure to keep everyone together, and picking up flags that are colored to match your team, yellow for the Victors, pink for the Amazons, and blue for the Chrises, and when all the teams arrive at the finish line, the first team across, as well as the team with the most flags, will win invincibility from tonight's elimination, while the worst performing team will send someone home in another Trans-Global Flag Ceremony, this one being of the overly-dramatic variety.
In the event of a tie in either instance, however, the next team down the line in terms of score on the other category, if one team is highest ranked in both, will get it, and if it's a tie between two teams for the same category, the tie will go to the team who won less requirements/conditions, and if a tiebreaker would make all three teams immune, then the teams who were in the tie would both be up for elimination. So, contestants, take your positions at the starting line. On your marks, get set, GO!" Chris said as all the teams took off. When the pyramid had been reached, the teams chose accordingly:
Team Gilded Victors
Over: Eva, DJ, Harry
Under: Joshua, Gwen, Ezekiel, Duncan
Team Screaming Chrises
Over: Hermione, Ron, Trent
Under: Cody, Katie
Team Killer Amazons
Over: Bridgette, Lindsay
Under: Noah, Beth, Harold
(Under/In the Pyramid)
"Duncan, follow me! Ezekiel, take Gwen and go the other way!" Joshua said to Duncan and Ezekiel.
"Okay, will do, eh." Ezekiel replied and took off down the left section of the fork in the road, while Joshua and Duncan went the other way, both leaving markers to indicate they'd been there already.
"Dude, I hope we can win this, as we have the most members on our team, so the other teams might be angling to pick us off first, Joshua." Duncan said.
"Duncan, believe me when I say, that we don't need to worry about that. Ron, on the other hand, might have to worry." Joshua replied, smirking. Duncan liked the way he smirked and the two continued running down the corridor, and then both saw the exit, going through it, grabbing flags as they went, and hoping that Ezekiel and Gwen had the same amount of luck.
"So, which way now, eh?" Ezekiel asked Gwen as the two of them had reached a dead-end.
"I guess we go back the way we came, then go down the path that Joshua and Duncan took." Gwen replied, and they did that, grabbing any flags they could, until they finally came to the same exit that Joshua and Duncan had took, not knowing that their performance was half the reason they were fighting a losing battle.
Meanwhile, for the Amazons, Beth, Noah, and Harold had already found their flags and exited, and were waiting when the Victors came out, though they were worried about their over group, as Katie and Cody came out, at the exact same time that Ron, Hermione, and Trent hit the bottom of the pyramid, followed closely by DJ, Harry and Eva, then eventually Lindsay and Bridgette got down, though they beat the Victors across, thanks to Bridgette tripping over her feet at the top and sending her and Lindsay rolling down to the bottom, causing them to pass the Victors on the way down, but it wasn't quite enough to pass the Chrises. When everyone got down, Chris turned to the teams.
"So, as far as the race goes, clearly the Screaming Chrises win that part of the immunity now to count the flags up. The Chrises, while they were first to finish, only finished with six flags, while the Amazons got eight and somehow the Victors managed to get eight as well.
This means that the Victors and the Amazons tied for the most, and since both those teams lost the first category, both the Amazons AND the Victors have to send somebody home tonight. As for the Chrises, congratulations on your immunity. Enjoy it." Chris said, grinning.
Confessional Cam
Joshua/Gwen/Duncan/Ezekiel: Joshua- Wow, what the hell was that? We sucked today.
Gwen- I'll say. So, who do we vote out?
Ezekiel- I think the answer to that is obvious, eh.
Duncan- And who do you suggest we vote for, Zeke?
Joshua- DJ, since he was seen talking to Ron, so I suspect he's trying to betray us.
Ezekiel- What Joshua said, eh.
Harry- Crap, we lost. Well, even though DJ deserves to leave, the fact that I've been having these visions means that I need to go on this journey.
DJ-Wow, that sucks for us. But, it is THE perfect opportunity to take care of the biggest threats, and by that I mean Ezekiel, Joshua, and that bookworm Noah.
Noah- Oh, great, we must really have sucked to end up here. Well, Harold, there's NO escape for you this time.
Ron- Perfect. We kicked ass in this challenge AND sealed Prigmore and Noah's fates, or Prigmore and Potter's fates.

Team Victors Flag Ceremony
"Victors, in front of me are seven of you, BUT only six Egyptian flags. The one of you who does not get an Egyptian flag must immediately walk the Runway of Rejects, board the Flight of Failure, leave Total Drama World Tour, and you can never come back, EVER! The first two flags go to, surprisingly, Joshua and Gwen! Eva, you're safe too. Duncan, you're also safe, along with DJ. Ezekiel, Harry, this is the final Egyptian flag. The one of you who does not get this flag must leave here and board the Flight of Failure, and leave the show and can never return. The final flag goes to…...Harr-"
"STOP! I quit! I need to leave the show, as I have other business to attend to!" Harry said suddenly, surprising everyone there, particularly Ezekiel, who heard that he was about to be eliminated, but was saved by Harry.
"Eh, okay, I was going to give you the final flag, but if you want to quit, that's cool. I'll give to Zeke then. Zeke, consider yourself lucky that Harry quit, or you would have been out." Chris said as he led Ezekiel to the Airline of Acceptance. Harry then cheerfully walked away, but slipped past to sneak behind the Flight of Failure, where he visualized the image that had come through his head of Heather being tortured by what were clearly dementors in what seemed to be Azkaban, but that didn't make any sense to Harry, since as far as he knew, Heather was a Muggle. So, he visualized Azkaban, and with the customary POP!, he Disapparated away.
Back on the Airline of Acceptance….
"I can't believe it's down to being either Zeke or Harry getting axed tonight." Joshua said, turning to Gwen to reassure her that whatever happened, everything would be fine.
His belief was well founded when Ezekiel walked in just then, causing both Joshua AND Gwen to breath sighs of relief.
"Thank the Force. I thought Ezekiel was a goner for sure, with his luck. But I guess poor Harry sacrificed himself to save Zeke." Joshua said as Gwen rushed up to her boyfriend and kissed him.
Team Killer Amazons- Flag Ceremony
"Amazons, in front of me are five of you, BUT only four Egyptian flags. The ONE of you who does NOT get an Egyptian flag must immediately walk the Runway of Rejects, board the Flight of Failure, and leave Total Drama World Tour, and can never come back, EVER-" Chris started, but was interrupted as Noah said,
"You mean the way Joshua, Izzy, Harold, Duncan, Hermione, Gwen, Lindsay, and Bridgette have all come back?"
"SHUSH! As I was saying, Egyptian flags go to…..Noah! Bridgette, you and Lindsay are safe too. Beth, Harold, this is the final Egyptian flag. The one of you who does not get this flag must immediately board the Runway of Rejects, and leave Total Drama World Tour. The final Egyptian flag goes to…...Beth! Sorry Harold, but it seems you're out again, so I trust that you know the way down the Runway of Rejects by now, yes?" Chris asked Harold, who slumped his shoulders and headed down the Runway of Rejects.
At the Airline of Acceptance…..
"So, the Victors chose to ditch Potter. That went to plan, BUT I hope that the Amazons ditched that egghead, or that blonde bimbo." Ron thought to himself as Beth walked in, and he looked to the Amazons and realized that Harold was out again.
"Crap." he growled to himself. Noah, however, was pleased that he'd gotten Harold back out, even if he could prove useful, since it would help keep him in the game.
"Way to stay safe, Beth!" Noah said, running up to Beth and hugging her. Beth flushed slightly at the contact, then to both their surprises, kissed Noah square on the lips, surprising the normally unsurprisable egghead. When he finally found his voice, he turned to Beth.
"Okay, that was a surprise. Does that mean you feel the same way about me as I feel about you?" Noah asked Beth.
"Of course it does, silly. Be mine?" Beth asked Noah, who chose to make a very non-verbal reply to her, by claiming the lips of his dream girl within his own. Beth grinned and hugged her new boyfriend tightly.
"I love you, Noah." Beth said to Noah.
" I love you too, my beautiful beauty of the praries." Noah said as he kissed his new girlfriend again.
Confession Cam
Joshua- Well, at least Zeke is safe, but why did it have to be Harry who went? On the upside, however, Harold is back out, so that's a good thing, so it looks like Noah is agreeable to an alliance, and Beth is the perfect bargaining chip to ensure he joins my alliance. With Harry gone, I'm going to need the extra units to ensure that Ron is taken down at last, or else he could very realistically win this thing, and that is something that cannot happen at ANY cost.
Noah- well, I got me a new girlfriend and took out some excess baggage. Sucks to hear about Harry, though. Well, I think in order to ensure that that snake Ron takes the Flight of Failure next, my best option would be to join forces with Joshua, as he is our best chance of squashing Weasley and beating him at his own game. So, that said, the game is afoot.
End Confessional Cam
"And there you have it, folks. With Harry and Harold gone, who will be the next to take the Flight of Failure? And will the Chrises ever have to come back to the elimination ceremony? To find out tune in to the next episode of Total…..Drama…..World Tour!" Chris said. What he didn't know, was that someone was watching him from in the shadows, plotting an attempt to get into the game.
"So, if Maclean's back, then I can try to disguise myself again and get back in the game. I have a feeling that Ezekiel and Noah could be threats to my plan, however, but if I cooperate with Geoff and get him back in, we might be able to seal the game for Ron." Alejandro mused to himself, vowing that he would get in to get revenge on Maclean for tricking him.

Those questions will be answered in time. Next up, though, is the second Aftermath chapter, though I might make a one-shot fic depicting Harry's journey to find, rescue, and bring himself and Heather back into the game, alongside of this. Or do you think I should try to work it into the story? Review and tell me what you think of the story so far and to tell me what you think about the idea for my Harther one-shot. The second Aftermath chapter will be out as soon as I can write it, so in the meantime, be sure to read and review, folks!
