Ellismskd24: Thanks for understanding.

LaCuevademigustos: So you hated how Leshawna fake cried in the past. Fair enough I hated how Sierra fake cried to get Cody's attention but it annoys me less than it used to.

acosta perez jose ramiro: Thank you.

Screaming Gaffers: Mike/Mal, DJ, Courtney, Noah, Amy

Killer Grips: Dave, Sky, Dawn, Duncan, Heather, Leshawna

"Last time on Total Drama Action, four teenagers with vision, a vision that took past their everyday thinking. But when the chips were down, and even when they came back up, they were the only ones who could rescue them." Chris recapped "In the end Leshawna fake cried to get the reward."

"It's time to put the snacks away kiddies because after this terrifying episode there won't be a stomach left unturned." Chris told the audience "Right here on Total! Drama! Action!"

The episode began with DJ sleeping on the ground near the trailers while Dave and Sky were kicking a soccer ball over him passing it to each other.

We then see that Noah, Amy, Leshawna, and Dawn were playing with cards when Noah smirked in satisfaction "Sorry girls, it looks like I win." Noah said "Alright now who's turn is it to shuffle?"

"I'll do it." Dawn told Noah before she did a bunch of card tricks while shuffling.

Meanwhile Duncan tapped Courtney on the back as she was sitting on the grass.

"What?" Courtney asked, annoyed.

"We need to talk, it's about Mike." Duncan whispered "I can't tell you here, so meet me at the makeup confessional."

"Ugh fine." Courtney groaned.

What neither of them noticed however was that Mal was listening while sitting on a lawn chair pretending to read a magazine.

Confessional:

We see Duncan and Courtney inside the confessional together.

"Okay you better not be trying to make out with me or something gross like that." Courtney said angrily.

"It's nothing like that, I just needed to tell you that Mike has a fifth personality." Duncan said.

"Aren't there four of them; and how do you know this?" Courtney asked incredulously.

"When I was in juvie, so was Mike." Duncan sighed.

"Ha, Mike in juvie. Please he's not a neanderthal like you." Courtney laughed.

"Correct but back in juvie his name was Mal, who is likely Mike's fifth personality, and I think he liked being locked up. He caused trouble for the fun of it." Duncan explained.

"So why hasn't Mike recognized you?" Courtney asked.

"I stayed clear of Mal and I don't think Mike even knew who most of the prisoners were since Mal was in control." Duncan answered "Look just please be careful. I don't want anyone to get hurt because of him."

"Hmm, alright I'll consider it." Courtney sighed "You seem pretty serious about this but you could be faking."

"I don't lie about stuff like this Courtney." Duncan said.

Confessional Ends

Soon Courtney and Duncan left the makeup confessional where Mal was hiding in the bushes.

"Interesting." Mal whispered angrily.

Confessional:

"Ah Duncan, No wonder he was so familiar." Mal said "Looks like I'll need to eliminate him sooner than later."

Confessional Ends

Soon we see that Duncan and Courtney have returned to where the trailers were when Amy began speaking "It would be so awesome if there was no challenge today."

"Yeah we'd pretty much get the day to just hang out." Dave said happily.

"There better be a challenge today," Heather said, "I'm here to win a million dollars and the faster we win a challenge the faster I'm one step closer to winning."

Confessional:

"Heather has a point, I do wanna win as soon as possible." Sky said "But I also wanna know how I feel about Dave, I know I like him as a friend, but do I like him more than a friend? I don't really know."

Confessional Ends

"Attention all Total Drama contestants!" Chris's voice was heard from the loudspeaker. "Please meet me in the northeast corner of the studiopalloza. Bring lozenges, the screaming's gonna hurt."

"Ugh so there is a challenge, darn it." Amy groaned.

"Ah well, we might as well go." DJ said rubbing his eyes and waking up.

"Why were you sleeping on the ground anyway?" Dave asked curiously.

"I was tired." DJ admitted sheepishly.

Soon we see everyone on top of a hill as Noah leans on a stage light.

"Gee you'd think Chris would at least show up since he rushed us over here." Mal rolled his eyes.

"Maybe he's trying to get a hot tub for his mansion or something." Noah smirked.

Chris was then heard screaming as he began falling with a red packet on his back.

Soon we see Chris looked as if he was impaled through the stage light.

Everyone except Noah and Mal began screaming until Noah and Mal rolled their eyes.

Mal then flicked Chris' forehead making the host shoot up angrily "Ow what was that for?"

"For pulling that prank on everyone." Noah said angrily.

"I saw the fake blood packet and knew right away it was a trick I guess Noah did too." Mal explained.

Chris then removed the top of the stage light from his body and frowned "Fine, you got me. I was faking. Anyway it's time for today's totally terrifying, blood-curdling, Horror Movie challenge!"

"To figure out which team gets which challenge, we're gonna have a scream-off! Think of every great horror movie you've ever seen, which all have one thing in common: fantastic screaming from actors and the killers who snuff them. Each team pick a serial killer and the rest will be the screamers. If your killer can make your team scream the loudest, you win!" Chris explained.

Soon we see the Screaming Gaffers together discussing who their fake killer will be.

"So who should we pick, because no one here is exactly scary." Amy rolled her eyes.

"I feel like I should do it. Noah's not scary and if I didn't fall for Chris' prank I doubt I'd fall for a simple jump scare." Mal suggested.

Confessional:

"Of course he'd volunteer, he's already creepy and spooky enough." Amy ranted.

Confessional Ends

"I guess that's fair." Courtney said with a raised eyebrow at Mal before giving him the mask which Mal noticed.

Confessional

"Not gonna lie I'm still unsure about the whole Mal story Duncan told me but Mike didn't have to know that. If that even is his name." Courtney scowled.

XXX

"Courtney may be onto me as well, and she's tight with DJ so that means I'll likely be a goner if I don't get Noah's vote to boot her out." Mal snarled "I cannot leave yet. I need to stay so I can win the million."

Confessionals End

We then see the Killer Grips picking their killer.

"Duncan just put this on, you're the scariest and the least likely to be scared." Dave gave a stoic look.

"Fair enough." Duncan shrugged.

Confessional:

"I really need to win this challenge so Mal can go home, he needs to lose before he can cause any trouble. The bad kind of trouble I mean." Duncan said.

Confessional Ends

It is now nighttime as DJ is seen looking around the woods in fear.

"DJ there's nothing to be afraid of." Dawn reassured DJ while walking up to him.

"Well I just hate jump scares." DJ explained.

"Alright DJ and Dawn, prepare yourselves for your killers to enter. And then, I want huge, massive, enormous screams! we'll be measuring the volume on our Scream-o-meter. Lights, Cameras, Action!" Chris said from his director's chair.

Duncan was seen behind the bushes and jumped behind Dawn and screamed "Boga boga boga."

"Ahhhh I'm so scared." Dawn tried to scream as convincingly as possible but she only managed to make it to the yellow margin of the scream-o-meter.

"I'm sorry I felt your aura from behind the bush." Dawn apologized making Duncan facepalm.

We see Mal smirking maliciously from behind a tree as he then out on his mask and jumps in front of DJ.

"RAHHHHHHHH!" Mal growled.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" DJ screamed in fear making the scream-o-meter make it to the highest margin the red margin.

"And DJ scores the first round for the Screaming Gaffers!" Chris announced. "With a solid 55 on the scream-o-meter."

Soon we see Courtney sitting on the porta potty and she rolled her eyes "This is some serious indignity I mean I'm being filmed in a porta potty."

"When is Duncan gonna show up already, it's been forever." Heather complained in her own porta potty.

Soon Courtney was yawning before Mal barged in through the door, Courtney tried to make a convincing scream but she failed to do so and only made it to the bottom of the yellow section of the scream-o-meter.

We then see Duncan barge in the porta potty Heather was in and she began shrieking causing the scream-o-meter to make it to the top of the red section.

Confessional:

"I wasn't actually scared, I'm just a brilliant actress." Heather smirked.

Confessional Ends

"And that's round two for Heather and the Killer Grips. She scored a 60 on the Scream-o-meter." Chris announced.

Soon we see Dave and Sky sitting on a couch when Chris begins speaking "Alright guys. You're gonna have to act your faces off!"

Dave read part of the script and his cheeks immediately turned beet red.

"I guess you got to that part too." Sky blushed as well.

"Yeah… we have to make out." Dave said.

Confessional:

"Normally I'd be ecstatic for this, but I'm pretty sure Sky doesn't wanna kiss me." Dave confessed.

XXX

"I guess I do have feelings for Dave after all because I actually felt somewhat excited to do the scene." Sky blushed.

Confessional Ends

"And action!" Chris smirked.

"Well if we have to, I guess we should." Sky reassured Dave.

"If you're sure of this." Dave said before the two leaned in to kiss, once the two's lips touched they immediately widen their eyes and blush as they seperate.

"Well…" Dave said.

"Yeah…" Sky muttered.

Duncan then got up from behind the couch and screamed "BOO!"

Dave and Sky immediately screamed making it to the bottom of the red zone in the scream-o-meter.

"Okay now onto the Grips." Chris said.

Soon we see Amy and Noah on the couch before Amy gasps at the script "No, no I would rather let Samey win a competition."

"I'm not exactly thrilled about this either." Noah glared at the mean twin.

Chris then popped up from behind the couch with a smile "Don't forget kiddies, it's a million bucks."

Soon Noah and Amy began leaning in until their lips met but only barely as they soon pulled away in disgust.

"Ugh, does anyone have any mouthwash?" Amy asked, revolted.

Mal then popped out from behind the couch "BOO!"

"GAH!" Amy screamed in fear, making the scream-o-meter move to the lowest point of the yellow zone. Noah raised an eyebrow at Amy's scream.

Confessional:

"Okay, is it just me or is Amy hiding something about Mike?" Noah asked before pondering "Then again she could be faking that scream."

Confessional Ends

"Okay, despite Amy's scream, The Killer Grips still won this round." Chris announced.

Dawn, Duncan, Leshawna, and Heather began cheering while Dave and Sky just looked away blushing at each other.

"Well it seems Duncan was able to beat the not so accurately named Screaming Gaffers." Chris announces "Tune in to see if Dave and Sky will stop being so flustered on Total! Drama! Action!"

(After commercial break)

"Alright; it's time for the Screaming Gaffers to pack their overnight bags, because you'll be spending tonight in the dining hall. Meanwhile the winner Grips win some R&R in their trailers. You have half an hour."

We then see Mal, Courtney, Amy, DJ, and Noah at the Craft Services Tent.

"Well I guess this is alright." DJ shrugged.

"You think Chef will mind if we cook some actual food?" Noah asked

"Guys, over here." Chris told Noah and DJ who then walked to the middle of the floor where their team was sitting and began sitting on the floor.

"I'm about to tell you why this film lot was abandoned and closed down." Chris said.

"Because it's a death trap." Mal rolled his eyes.

"Hush my child. This film lot is perfectly safe, on this plane. But in the other dimension?" Chris turned on a flashlight over his face, causing DJ to gasp. "Juanita Rent-a-cop was a dedicated security guard who worked here for twenty loyal years until her mysterious death right here. ON THIS VERY SPOT! Now, her desperate and uneasy spirit walks the lot. No one has ever managed to spend a whole night in this craft service tent."

"So the task is to spend a night in this Craft Services Tent?" Courtney raises an eyebrow.

"Yes." Chris answered "Just spend two hours here and you win invincibility."

"Why only two hours?" Amy asked.

"Because I wanna get to the elimination ceremony as soon as possible." Chris explained "Anyway, check any phenomena on these ghost detectors," Chris gestured to a table of electronic devices and a Ouija board. "And just in case..." Chris looked like he was going to hand Amy a flashlight, before handing her a tiny keychain light instead.

"Gee, how very useful." Amy said dully.

Soon we see Chris walking to the Killer Grips outside as he begins speaking to them "Okay, The Screaming Gaffers are sitting ducks in the craft tent. Your challenge is to make like special effects gurus and scare all of them out of it by the next two hours."

Leshawna and Duncan smirked at this before Heather asked "And how are we supposed to do that?"

"That's up to you, but if you manage to do so, your team wins invincibility." Chris said before adding "Oh, also I made up some story about a security guard who died on set."

Soon we see the Killer Grips behind the Craft Services Tent.

"Any ideas everyone?" Sky asked.

"Well we could try making fake blood to put on the walls." Duncan said "And luckily I know how to make some."

"Of course you do." Heather rolled her eyes.

Soon we see Duncan mixing corn syrup and ketchup together in a bowl.

"Hmm needs more corn syrup, it's not quite scabby enough." Duncan said.

"I'll go get some." Dawn said, walking to the right to get more corn syrup.

"Respect Duncan, it really looks like blood." Leshawna said.

"How is that worth respect, it's gross." Dave said.

"We get it, you hate the sight of blood." Heather rolled her eyes.

"Doesn't everybody?" Dave asked incredulously.

"On Halloween, my brothers and I used to wait outside kindergarten with this goop dripping off us." Duncan laughed "I swear one five year old peed their pants."

"And respect is deleted." Leshawna said angrily.

Soon we see Heather near the wall as she began pouring it on a crack on the wall making it fall out the other side.

"Is that blood?!" Amy asked fearfully.

"I think it is." DJ said in shock before the two began screaming and about to leave while Mal however rolled his eyes and sniffed the air.

"Hold it!" Mal yelled, making DJ and Amy stop.

"Do you smell that?" Mal asked.

"What does he mean?" Amy asked.

Courtney then sniffed the air as well "Wait that smells like ketchup."

"Exactly, watch this." Mal said before putting a finger on the 'blood' and tasting it.

"Yep, it's ketchup." Mal said.

Duncan growled at this from the kitchen and Heather began speaking "Anyone have any ideas, anyone who's not Duncan?"

"Sky hasn't said anything, and anyone who's that quiet has to be thinking something." Leshawna told everyone.

"Well I do have one idea but it might be a bit risky." Sky said.

"Well it's worth a shot." Dave gulped.

Meanwhile the Grips were playing cards in the Craft Services Tent.

"Give me all your twos." Amy commanded DJ.

Soon the lights went out and DJ gulped "Hopefully that was just the Grips."

Soon we see Duncan at the breaker room "Night has fallen." He said in his walk-in talkie

"Excellent work Eclipse." Dave complimented Duncan from her walker talkie "Foxy Lady, you there?"

"Foxy Lady at the ready." Leshawna said from her walkie talkie.

"Remember everyone, this is just the Grips trying to scare us, and Courtney's team doesn't give up." Courtney said.

"Courtney's team?" Amy asked angrily.

Soon Leshawna fakes ghost cries from the outside as Heather in a police outfit was held up by Dawn and Sky by the rope.

The Grips looked up and saw Heather in the police uniform but from all DJ and Amy could see there was no rope.

DJ and Amy ran out of the Craft Services Tent but Noah, Courtney, and Mal wouldn't leave.

"Pathetic." Courtney said unamused.

Noah squinted and he saw the rope attached to Heather and threw a knife at the rope snapping the rope in half, making Heather fall to the ground.

"Ow." Heather groaned.

"Yeah you aren't fooling us." Courtney raised an eyebrow.

Soon an air horn went off from the loudspeakers as Chris began speaking "The Screaming Gaffers won the challenge. And the Killer Grips are heading to the elimination ceremony. But here's the twist: the Gaffers will be voting a Grip out."

Everyone gasped at this revelation.

Soon we see Mike in his subconscious, dragging the rock that was chained to him.

"Hello, somebody answer me!" Mike screamed out.

Mal then appeared from a mirror made out of his brain.

"You." Mike gasped.

Mal chuckled before speaking "At your disservice."

"But I got rid of you after juvie." Mike said in fear.

"Silly Mike, I was just laying low, conserving my energy waiting for the right moment, now I'm in control." Mal smirked.

Mike then jumped at the mirror but fell on the floor. "There are innocent people you're messing with, you have to stop."

"Stop, oh no no no no no no, I'm just getting started." Mal said before Mal's reflection disappeared.

"No, no come back." Mike said angrily.

Mal was then seen back near the trailers and before Amy went in the girls' trailer he pulled her to the back of the trailer.

"What the-" Amy began before Mal shushed her "We have a problem, Duncan knows who I am and just told Courtney this morning."

"Well that seems like an issue." Amy said.

"Indeed, which means tonight Duncan's gotta go." Mal said "I'll see if I can get Noah on our side."

Courtney was then seen talking to DJ in the Craft Services Tent.

"Look tonight we may need to vote off Dave. He won last season and I think it would be more fair if someone else got a chance to win." Courtney told DJ.

"Honestly I guess he doesn't need to win again." DJ shrugged "Sure."

"Perfect, I'll see if I can get Noah on our side." Courtney said happily.

We then see Noah reading on a lawn chair when Courtney walks over to him.

"Hey Noah." Courtney said with a chipper tone.

"Yeah I know you just wanna talk about the vote just tell me who you want gone." Noah rolled his eyes.

"Fine, Look Dave already won a season, I think it would be fair and better for our games if we vote him off." Courtney said, getting right to the point.

"I guess that's a fair point." Noah said "I'll think about it."

"Yes you won't be disappointed if you vote with me." Courtney cheered before walking off and Noah got back to his book.

We then see Mal getting out of a bush and walking up to Noah with a grin on his face, luckily Noah didn't see Mal get out of the bush.

Mal then lowered the book so Noah can face him.

"What do you want?" Noah asked, annoyed.

"Look I just wanna ask if you could vote out Duncan with me, he's really strong and a big threat." Mal said.

"Ugh fine I'll think about it." Noah rolled his eyes.

"Thanks Noah." Mal said happily.

We then see Dave heading to the guys' trailer before Sky runs up to him "Dave, do you got a minute?"

"Sure, is this about what I think it is?" Dave asked.

"Yes it's about the kiss we shared." Sky nodded.

"Sky, I do have feelings for you I'll make that clear now, that is true but I didn't wanna ruin our friendship or do something you didn't want and I'm sorry if I did something wrong."

"No Dave, you didn't do anything wrong, in fact I kinda have feelings for you too and I did like the kiss a bit." Sky blushed.

"Whoa, that's shocking." Dave said in shock before asking "So do you wanna date me or anything?"

"I mean I guess we can try." Sky smiled.

"Cool." Dave smiles back.

Confessional:

"Yes, yes yes yes yes yes." Dave cheered.

Confessional Ends

Soon a montage of Chris moments played before we cut to the Gilded Chris ceremony where every contestant was sitting at the bleachers, Mal, Amy, Noah, DJ, and Courntey on the top with Dave, Sky, Duncan, Heather, Dawn, and Leshawna on the bottom.

The five Screaming Gaffers press on their voting tablets as they cast their votes.

"And now you pranking novices. It's time for the elimination ceremony to see which Grip will take the Lame-o-sine." Chris announced "The Gilded Chrises go to…"

"Dawn."

"Sky."

"Leshawna."

And… Heather."

"Which Grip did the Gaffers choose to boot, the final Gilded Chris goes to…" Chris began.

…

…

…

…

"Duncan."

Duncan caught his Gilded Chris relieved as Dave sighed "Yep I kinda expected this."

"Aw and we just got together." Sky said sadly.

"Well don't give up Sky, I'm sure you can win it for us." Dave told Sky who smiled brightly before the two leaned in and kissed each other before Dave walked off to the red carpet to get in the Lame-o-sine.

Meanwhile Mal was seen annoyed by this outcome.

Confessional:

"The plan was for Amy and Noah to vote off Duncan, I know one of them betrayed me and eventually the one who did will regret it." Mal growled.

Confessional Ends

"Ooh Mal's mad." Chris said from the editing room "What will he end up doing next, and what will Sky do without Dave, find out on Total! Drama! Action!" Chris said happily.

Exclusive Clip: Dave

"Well I was kinda hoping to win more money but I guess that wasn't going to happen anytime soon." Dave sighed "Ah well at least I have the 100,000 dollars I got from last season and I have Sky as a girlfriend. I just really hope I don't screw it up like I did last time I tried romance, but I think it should mostly be fine."

Exclusive Clip Ends

Author's Note: Dave was honestly not supposed to leave here at first but I realized I didn't need to drag on his plot with Sky any further so he leaves here. I didn't want to do another tiebreaker so I had the Gaffers vote him off. It also helps with the drama since Mal knows that Noah or Amy did not vote with him. Hopefully you enjoyed this chapter and I'll see you later.
