"Last time on Total Drama: Diamond Lake. It was family night at camp as we had the first, and only, Total Drama Diamond Lake Family Talent Show. We had singing, magic, martial arts, escape art, and more as we learned more about our freshly merged cast.
But perhaps the biggest surprise of them all was the reveal that the ticking time bomb Roman, is a loving teen father of two sons. Gotta say, did not see that coming.
In the cast were given all expense paid trip to Busch Gardens, where they can spend some quality time with their folks. But the pleasantries have come and gone, its time to see if these kids have what it takes to be here. Who will fall, who will rise to the occasion? Who will be the first to fall on...
Total.
Drama.
Diamond Lake!"
The camera opened up with a shot of the southern part of the island. The camera flew past Greg and went straight up into the sky and started to drop into the lake. "Dear mom and dad I'm doing fine, you guys are on my mind." The camera dropped down into the lake revealing Orion, who seemed to be looking for something.
"You asked me what I wanted to be and now I think the answer is plain to see." Orion rises up to get a breath of air, only to knock Brian off of his surfboard.
"I wanna be famous." The camera moved over to the eastern side of the Island, where Rose and Krystal were glaring at each other.
"I wanna live close to the sun." The camera then cut to the activity center behind the mess hall, where Grace was listening to Post play music.
"So pack your bags cause I've already won." The camera moved over to a different part of the Activity Center where it revealed Deena and Roman engaging in an intense arm-wrestling match.
"Everything to prove nothing in my way." The camera turned around and headed over to the mess hall while passing Paige, who seemed to be trying to talk to Andrius.
"I'll get there one day" The camera then went to the kitchen, where counselors DJ and Katie were fighting a slop monster.
Cause I wanna be famous." Inside the mess hall, Linka was trying not to gag at the food and Ryo was staring at it with no emotion in his eyes.
"Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na." The camera headed off to the western side of the island, and quickly showed off Johnny and Uma having a contest to see who the better eye candy is.
"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous. I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous." The camera stopped at Griff, who was giving Maybelle a piggyback ride, only for him to trip and fall into the water. The water cleared from the camera to show all of the campers around a bonfire whistling the tune.
The night after the cast returned from their reward trip, the girls were all in their cabin. And they were currently playing a little game of Truth or Dare at the request of Maybelle since they never finished their sleepover from a few episodes ago. And this time there will be no sneaking over to the boys' cabin, much to Uma's disappointment.
Right now Grace was right now downing a concoction made of pickle juice, barbecue sauce, coffee grounds, and blue cheese. She sighed when she finished and tossed the cup in the trash can "Done." The girls clapped as Grace turned to give the question to Rose, "Okay Rose, truth or dare?" Grace's PJs consisted of a flannel shirt and shorts
"Dare me." Rose confidently said.
Grace then dared, "Alright, I dare you to..." the lumberjill thought about this, "let us give you a make over."
Rose can feel the other girls pulling out a plethora of make up products. She groaned "Go ahead." before she was swarmed by the girls, when they were done she was wearing blue eyeshadow, red lipstick, some blush, and shiny mascara. She sighed before turning to the next player, "Maybelle, truth or-"
"Truth!" Maybelle quickly said.
"Okay then... what's your favorite stuffed animal?"
Maybelle sweated, "Um... can I have a different one?"
"Now Maybelle, you know the rules." Uma said.
"Yeah, you speak the truth or do the dares no matter what." Linka added. Her attire being a beige shirt and green pants.
"And if you don't you have to remove a piece of clothing."
"We didn't agree to that one Uma." Grace groaned to her ex teammate, who was laying down on her bed on her stomach with her nude bod exposed without a single shit to give. "We agreed on taking a shot of chocolate milk." She gestured to the numerous cartons of chocolate milk.
"Oh you're no fun." Uma waved her off.
Maybelle sighs dejectedly, "I can't pick, toss me one." Linka does so and the female twin downs the carton of chocolate milk.
As such Maybelle has to spin a little spinning arrow panel, and whoever it lands on will be asking someone of their choosing Truth or Dare.
Linka.
"Guess it's my go, Uma. Truth or dare?"
"I've done enough dares, let's go with truth for once." The girl says as she flips into her back and hangs her head off the bed.
Linka thinks to herself 'As the standings are right now, Uma and Rose are in the lead having drank zero cartons since we began. Trailing behind is Grace with 1 carton, me and Maybelle with 2, and Krystal is dead last with 4. Uma has not back down from any of our dares, even ones that seem degrading or risqué. Hmmm, let's see how she deals with truths.'
(BZZT)
Uma: Whatever these girls have dared me to, I've done much worse on a daily basis.
Krystal: How am I dead last?
Grace: It feels nice to have a real girls night, gossiping, doing each other's nails, pillow fights. And most importantly, no brothers in their undies shouting for dinner.
Maybelle: So glad we all get to just relax and hang out, not having to worry about challenges. I think the girls and I really bonded in B.G. I got so many new plushies to add to collection, too bad I'll have to give some of old ones away. I just hope they get good homes.
(BZZT)
Linka then questioned, "Uma, how many guys have you diddled?"
"You mean since the show or in general?" Uma asked for clarification.
"Uh, let's just go with here." Linka replied.
"If we heard every time in her life she got dirty we'll never leave the cabin." Krystal commented. The rich girl's pajamas were a pink satin colored outfit.
"True that." Uma said before looking up at the ceiling in thought. "Hmm, let's see. My first time here was with Johnny, after that I sucked Brian behind the mess hall during the Awakethon for 10 bucks."
"Grrrrrrr." Grace growled at Uma.
"It was before you two started dating, so don't cry about it." Uma told the lumberjill. "If it makes you feel better he pretended it was you the whole time."
"Not even a little." She glared.
"But she's right." Rose spoke up, her heightened senses make her the perfect polygraph for this game.
"Well after that I went at it with a few of the interns. Let's see there was Landon, Derrick, Mark, Gus, Kathrine-"
"I thought you only went after guys." Grace interrupted.
"As long as they pay, I don't care what they are. Anyway there's also Roy, Burk, Kristoph, Billy & Mandy, Frank, Logan, Grenda, Gin-Ho, Heraldo-"
"Can we just move on?" Krystal exclaimed.
"Why are there so many interns?" Linka asked.
"Because, in case any of them dies or is gravely injured they have an extra on hand." Uma replied, " I mean have you seen what this show did to their interns?"
"Fair point." Linka said.
"Alright then, Krystal. Truth or dare babe." Uma turned to the rich girl.
Already behind, she sighed "Dare."
Uma smirked at her, "Krystal, I dare you to do a strip dance."
The billionaire daughter sighed before sitting up from the end and walk to the center of the cabin. Maybelle then spoke up, "Uh maybe we should start a different game-"
"No." Krystal stopped her boyfriend's sister, "I'm already behind and if my mom finds out I got dead last in a game she'll never let me live it down." But before she can start Rose stood up.
"Hold on, something's not right." Just then she felt herself get pricked by a tranquillizer dart before she collapsed. Before anyone can react all the girls were hit with darts as well, and they collapsed.
Out in the activities' field, Roman and Andrius were doing some light sprawling. The little guy trying to get a takedown on Roman, but the big guy kept easily tossing him away. Andrius got up, "Why do we need late night training anyway?" he asked before he went in for another single leg take down, but Roman sidestepped.
"Because how well we do in challenges in vital now. Like I discussed with Ryo and Orion, us guys are outnumbered 4 to 6. Before us they were up against 5, so we got to stick close if the girls ever decide to pick us off." Roman explained, "You got lucky in some of the redemption challenges, but luck quickly runs out." Andrius then jumps at Roman, who holds him back with one hand. The tiny man struggles before stopping, panting with exhaustion before Roman lets him fall down. "Okay lets give the physical training a break, and move onto to mental training." Roman then pulls out a clown puppet, "This is Boogle the-"
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH~" Andrius shoots up and rips the puppet off his friend's hand and throws it on the ground, stomping it into oblivion. He pants after this outburst, he looks to Roman's unimpressed face and stops. "You know clowns freak me out, with their squeaky noses and unnaturally large shoes. WHO CAN POSSIBLY FIT 198 OF YOU IN A TINY CAR!?" he freaks.
"And that's why we're working on getting rid of your dumb clown phobia."
Andrius glares at him, "Like you're one to talk dumb fears, what about your fear of professional figure skaters?"
"THAT'S NOT A FEAR!" Roman roared in Andrius's face, knocking the little man to the ground. He then turned away with crossed arms saying, "I just don't trust the way they spin is all."
"Riiiiiiiight." Andrius drawled.
Roman then stated, "Okay, we'll work on fears some other time. For now lets work on alertness, you can be struck from anywhere at anytime by anyone."
"GAH!" Andrius yelped as he was struck by a dart like the girls were, "Nice... example." he let out before he faceplanted into the dirt.
Roman went wide eyed before sending daggers all around him, "Alright, whoever you are come on out here!" just then he was hit in the back with a tranq dart, which he pulled out and crushed in his hand "You think you take me down with just one?" just then he was hit with a number of darts, looking like a human pincushion. "Is... that all..." one last dart to his posterior, "Yep... that should-" he collapsed from all the tranq in his system.
Meanwhile, Orion and Ryo were walking back towards camp. Orion looking pale as a ghost, and was shaking to his core. "Oh crap. Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap." he shook his head as he thought about what Ryo showed.
"Yeah, I had that same reaction to." Ryo told him.
"Gaaaaaah, so the killer of Camp Diamond Lake is real!" Orion freaked.
"At this point it is best we disclose this information as soon as possible, thankfully this return trip has given me the chance to get photographic evidence." Ryo pulls out a stack of photographs, he gives 6 of them to Orion. "Show this to your sister and your girlfriend as soon as you can, I'm gonna show Linka what I found."
Ryo puts the rest back as Orion stores the ones he was given in his shirt, "Okay, you think we should inform all the other campers too? We have all the evidence to confirm the legend."
"I'm ashamed you even have to ask." Ryo replied. "New plan. Go tell the girls, I'll let Roman and Andrius know." Ryo then ran off to the boys' cabin, Orion took to the girls' cabin.
Orion approached the cabin, placing an ear up to the door. He didn't hear any sound so he figured they must be asleep. But wait, its only 10:21. Maybelle would usually be up until midnight. He opened the door to find the girls were no where in sight, the beds were empty and the place looked like a mess. "Something's not right?" Just then he felt a sharp pain in his neck, and then he dropped to the ground.
Orion groaned as he started to awaken, "Ugh... what the?" he groan as his vision was starting to clear up, and he found himself in a little cell. "Okay... I'm pretty sure the producers have seriously lost their minds. He looked out the small window, and found he was... still at camp? "Um, what's going on here?"
Just then a little TV came on, showing a fizzled screen before it showed a little puppet. "Hello campers of Diamond Lake. Welcome to your first official challenge of the merge, congrats on making it as far as you did. But now its time to test how much you want to be here, what you are willing to do to continue."
"Well that's not freaky at all." he sarcastically said.
The same message was being played to all the other players, who were all each in separate cells. "For this challenge, I want to play a game. Your task is simple, report to your host. But to do so, you'll have to start from one of the many cells that reside in this concrete shelter that tunnels underneath the camp. Each path you take is different from your opponents, but rest assured they all take the same amount of time towards your objective. On the way you will encounter many obstacles that you must navigate in the hopes of escape. The first person to finish all their challenges, and report to Greg wins the challenge and will be handsomely rewarded. Come in last place, and you will be instantly ejected from the game. No vote, no bonfire. Good luck."
Ten distinct clangs were heard, which means that all ten doors were opened. Some rocketed out of the gates, others took the slow approach.
(BZZT)
Greg: So the producers set up this entire underground labyrinth, setting up all the obstacles the contestants will have to get through in order to win. Some are easy, some aren't. Who can escape first? Lets find out.
(BZZT)
The first to reach their first obstacle was Roman, who came across a room that was littered with trash. He then saw a static screen at the end of the room. And the same puppet appeared on screen.
"Roman, for years you've been out on the streets. Surviving only on what you can find in other's waste. For your first challenge, you must dive through the garbage. Locate the key needed to unlock the door to move on, good luck."
Roman thought back to his early days of being homeless, its true he's had to dumpster dive for a long time. Everyday he never knew when his next meal would be. But right now he needs to focus on the task, so he dove right in and started searching for the key. Tossing away any filth he came across, thankfully his sense of smell died a long time ago.
Meanwhile in a separate tunnel, Andrius came across his challenge. Which looked like some sort of tube structure that you find in a McDonald's play area, a place that Andrius is very familiar with because he goes there when he feels lonely. Which is a lot. He then saw a TV turn on at the start of the tube.
"Andrius, I'm sure you're first challenge will be a breeze, given that you're able to drive and yet you still go in the same McDanielle's play pin since you were 3. You have 30 seconds to make it to the other side, each time you fail you must start again. The timer will start when you begin your trek, good luck."
Andrius looked over the thing he'll have to traverse, "Okay, 30 seconds shouldn't be too hard." Andrius then quickly started his trek climbing up the first portion, only to slide right down. "What the?" he went up again only to slide back down. "Why is this so slippery?" he smelled something and looked at the start of the slide, he took a big whiff and dragged a finger down the slide before licking it. "Is that?"
(BZZT)
Unnamed Producer: (holds up a bottle) Bacon Grease, can't make them too easy.
(BZZT)
Andrius wiped his hands on his shirt before checking the top portion, noting that it wasn't greased up like the bottom. He checked the clock, only 10 seconds. He figured he'd just wait it out before trying again.
Once the timer reached zero it started again and he went up the slide, and sliding back down. After about a few more tries, he got an idea. He removed his shirt, revealing a developing 4 pack of abs. He used his shirt to wipe up a path for him to take, after he got up the first part it was smooth sailing as he easily traversed the rest of the tube and out the back with 2 seconds to spare.
The light above the exit door lit up and opened up, allowing Andrius to head off to his next assigment.
Andrius: 1/3
We then see a montage of the other combatants as they attempted their first assignments to escape. We see Uma trying to cross a moat by using a path of poles as pennies were shot at her, falling about midway through. Grace was making a chainsaw sculpture of a brown bear, Maybelle was organizing a mess of stuffed animals in reverse alphabetical order, Rose was going across a similar moat as Uma but over an ice bridge that didn't help due to how she can see. And Ryo-
"And that's the last one." Ryo said as he tossed a competed Rubix cube into a large pile of finished cubes. After that a counter went up to 100.
"First assignment, complete."
The door to the next hallway opened up, the detective then went down the dark damp hallway to his next assignment. "The sooner I get through these, the sooner I can inform the others about the maniac that roams this camp ground." Ryo said as he jogged down the hallway towards his second challenge.
Ryo: 1/3 assignments
"Just hope Linka and Orion are doing alright."
With the girl he's grown attached to, the girl was in the middle of deciphering a very complicated formula that the author can not even begin to comprehend. "... so carry the X, multiple that by the square root of pi across the square mileage of the camp ground, then divide by the number of episodes in season 2 of Total Drama including aftermaths and the special..."
Orion on the other hand was crossing a tightrope, while trying to carry two trays full of water glasses. "Okay this isn't too bad." he said as he was about halfway across. But that's when...
"Sorry, you have to be this tall to ride."
Orion looked up and looked around, "Where did that-"
"Nice birthmark, freak show!"
Orion blinked, recognizing one of the many insults he received over the years.
"Ugh, why you so sweaty?" "Teacher's pet", "Brainiac", "Shrimp"
Orion grimaced as he heard every insult under the sun, his shaking causing him to lose his balance. He looked up to the concrete ceiling, "Yeah this might be a challenge."
We then move onto his girlfriend, who was tasked with making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Sounds simple right? Well not if you're the daughter of a quintillion and you only had servants make fancy meals that come in comedically tiny portions.
Krystal looked at the stuff on the table with the look you have when someone greets you in a language you don't understand. "Okay, which one's the bread?" She then picks up the jar of jelly, not sure what to do with it.
We come back to Uma, who dropped on the other side of the moat. Her body covered in little marks where she was hit with pennies, "Ugh, you think if the producers surprise us with a challenge, you think they'd have the decency to dress me first?" She questioned as she exited through the door.
Uma: 1/3
"And they say I'm perverted." She walked down the hall to her next obstacle.
Rose was then seen slowly inching across the ice, grimacing at the coldness on her bare feet. It took a long time, but eventually she made it across and heard a door opened up.
Rose: 1/3
As Rose advances, lets move onto Ryo who was approaching the room for his second assignment. He pushed through the door, and the room he entered was like a crash scene. He then saw a TV turn on.
"Welcome Ryo, to get through stage 2 of your trial. You must enter in the password. Your only clue is the scene displayed."
Ryo carefully stepped towards the wrecked vehicle as the tv kept playing.
"Does this bring back memories? If you take a closer look at the bodies in the car, you'll notice the one resembling your old partner."
Ryo walked up to the make shift crash, and gasps at what the mannequin in the driver seat resembled. "Linus?"
"Your partner, who was a victim of a crash after he was assigned a case that was more than he bargained for. The crash costed him his life, but he wasn't the only victim."
Ryo gritted his teeth, he hated looking back on that day. The day his partner had his life stripped away from him, he felt responsible for his death because he's the one who gave him that case.
Looking back, he then realized why Linka seemed so familiar. She looked so familiar to Ryo and knew so much about detective work and she was incredibly smart.
Just like Linus.
It was clear now, she was his brother. She had to be, one look at the second lifeless doll confirmed his suspicions. She was there in the car with him, he was told that Linus had perished... but not who was with him.
This brought another thought to him, what happens if Linka finds out?
This continued to haunt him as he went over to the door, where he saw a panel with five wheels on them. He spun them till the letters on the wheels spelled 'L. I. N. K. A.'
A green light lit up atop the door as it creaked open, Ryo shivered as he moved along.
Ryo: 2/3
Back with Roman he finally found the key, which he used to open the door. He exited with spaghetti noodles hanging off his shoulder, cuts on his biceps, and various substances all over his clothes.
Roman: 1/3
He ran down the hall, quickly making it to his next challenge. Where he found a FUCKIN BEAR!? Which roared at the sight of Roman
"Seriously!?"
He looked dot the ceiling, where it instructed.
Defeat the bear, move on to the last dare.
Roman huffed, "Doing this for your sons, doing this for your sons." He told himself before letting out his own monstrous roar and ran at the bear with the fury of a thousand and four suns.
Roman dodges a swipe of a bear claw, he then lands a dozen punches to the bear's guy before he evaded a bite from a bear bite. Roman then slips underneath a claw swipe and hooks his arms around the bear, and sending it flying with a German suplex.
Roman then kips and goes over to club the Grizzly multiple times before getting flung into the concrete wall, he pushes himself up. "So that's how it's gonna be." He then charges in again.
And from a real grizzly, we go to a wooden one as Grace finally finishes her chainsaw art. Upon which is inspected by a circling camera, it then makes a ding sound before the door opens up. "Finally, those chainsaw classes finally paying off."
Grace: 1/3
The girl from the backwoods goes down the hallway, at the same time Orion was finishing up his task of carrying two trays of glasses while being heckled like hell. Meanwhile Maybelle placed the last polished animal in the corresponding bucket, Andrius passed through a very narrow ropes course, and Linka finally completes her long and tedious math equation.
Orion: 1/3
Maybelle: 1/3
Andrius: 2/3
Linka: 1/3
We return to Krystal, who by this point was covered head to toe in peanut butter and jelly, pieces of bread scattered on her.
She shakes in frustration before screaming out "AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHh~" she then bangs her head on the table repeatedly. "WHY! CAN'T! I! GET! THIS! RIGHT!" She slammed both her fists on the table, causing two pieces of bread, a blob of peanut butter, and a handful of jelly to get shot into the air and land perfect on the plate in a neat little PB .
The exit door light turned green before opening, Krystal panting before she saw the sandwich before looking at the door. She let out a light chuckle before holding her head, "Oooooow." She massaged her forehead as she headed out.
Krystal: 1/3
Ryo followed the hallway until he reached the final stop on his way out of the bunker, which was a big open space with a table in the middle. His entry was along one of 10, on the other end there was a large door leading to a staircase.
He then heard a voice, "To complete your gauntlet and escape the underground maze. You will play a little game of Honeycomb. On the table you'll find an array of metal containers, each holding a piece of honey candycontaining a shape you will have to carve out. If the shape breaks, you will must collect a new honeycomb. Once you carve out your shape, you will be free to leave. Last person to leave will be immediately eliminated. May the first arrival collect the tin marked #1."
Ryo approached the table, picking up a 1 marked tin. He opened a lid, revealing a piece of honeycomb. With a metal pick, he looked at the shape he'll have to carve out. "Shit."
He has to carve an umbrella?
He then sat down as Andrius arrived from one of the other halls, "Ryo?"
"Sup." He greeted the boy.
"Wait, so there having everyone do the final task?" Andrius asked.
"Guess so." Ryo shrugged, "Grab a canister and get carving." He said as he started to carefully trace the shape.
Andrius walked to the table and grabbed a number 2 canister, also having to draw an umbrella out of his honeycomb.
"By the way, something you should know about this camp." Ryo told him as he started trying to carve his umbrella.
Rose then entered her second chamber, where she sensed there was no floor. She then went over to a narrow ledge along the wall and starting inching across. About halfway she felt a wall of fire flare up in the center, and ice cold water started pouring from the wall where her small platform was.
The heat from the flames and the cold from the water were not enough to stop Rose, who makes it to the very end where she lets out a breath of relief before continuing on.
Rose: 2/3
Grace was then shown rolling a log down a raging rapid, she was flung off but thankfully landed at the landing platform. She was granted her exit and she ran down the hall. Linka meanwhile was smashing vases in an attempt to find a key, after about over half of the vases she found the key and unlocked her door.
Grace: 2/3
Linka: 2/3
We then find Uma, who was shivering as she arrives at her second test.
"Ah, you finally- woah." spoke a familiar jersey accent, who was sitting on a bed under a sheet. And he didn't seem to be wearing a shirt.
"Johnny?" Uma raised an eyebrow, "Why are you here?"
Johnny held up a key, both stunned at Uma's bod and worried since she looked cold "For your second task, I'm supposed to give you this key if you-"
"Don't say it, lets just get this over with." Uma walked over to the bed and straddled the first loser, surprising him.
"Well, normally I'd be so down. But perhaps I should just give you the key-"
"Just shut up you dick." Uma said before she pushed him down on the bed. She stared him down with crazed eyes, "I'm cold, hungry, and hadn't any good meat in 24 hours. We're doing this here and now, case closed." Johnny gulped at the insane look he's getting.
While they're doing that lets move onto the twins, whom entered their second rooms simultaneously. After some panting they noticed they entered the very same room, "Maybelle!" the boy shouted.
"Orion!" she returned.
"Maybelle, are you okay?" the male twin asked.
"I'm fine, considering I've been drug darted and placed into a cell against my will!"
The two noticed they were separated by a large crater, and they were two longs that connected their sides. In the center of the crater they saw the same doll they saw on TV sitting on a podium, "How convenient you two should arrive in unison, since you two do nearly everything together, your task cannot be done without the other. What you see are two 50ft long poles, which you two will have to use to carry a pot of slop all the way to the other side."
The twins then looked to each other, "Sis, before I forget there's something I need to tell you about the Lake Killer case!"
"Just tell me while we're doing the task!" she yelled back.
The twins each took an end of the poles, as they maneuvered the poles to pick up the pot, Orion started explaining what Ryo has discovered. Even as they traversed pedestals, wobbling bridges, and wading through pools of apple juice they made some nice strides.
Maybelle looked terrified as she heard Orion's story, "Golly, guess Greta owes Candace 30 bucks."
"Maybelle this is serious, there's a maniac going around!" He exclaimed. "We got to get everyone out of here!"
"But what about the competition? We're so close to that 5 mil." Maybelle asked.
"How can you think of money at a time like this?!"
"Hey I'm only human." She replied as the two carefully placed the pot on the finish platform, this set of a loud dinging as the doors on both their ends opened up.
Orion: 2/3
Maybelle: 2/3
"Just tell the other girls, I gotta find Andrius and Roman and fill them in." Orion told her as he ran down his hallway, Maybelle followed his lead as the camera panned to Krystal
The wealthy girl arrived to her second room, which looked like a pigsty. Mud everywhere and dumps of trash, an actual pig. A sign next to her said she had to walk across and out the room, she bit her lip at the disaster that she had to cross.
She dipped the toe of her very expensive boot in the mud, where it proceeded to sink till she was at her knee. Already a mess from the PBJ task she just told herself to screw it and started trenching through the room. "After this challenge I do need at least 3 showers." She whimpered after she was then hit by a toppling tower of trash.
Grace and Linka arrived at the last task, where they found Ryo and Andrius carving into honeycombs. They also noticed each other.
"Linka!"
"Grace!"
The two have each other a quick hug before going over to where the boys were. "What's the damage?"
Ryo replied, "Well I'm just about done, and Andrius is on his 4th attempt."
The small boy then saw his shape break, "Dang it." He tossed the canister and grabbed another one.
"Make that 5th."
The girls then shrugged before grabbing a '3' and '4' numbered canister, both girls finding a shape in the homey candy.
"Hey look a-" Grace was then silenced by Linka.
"Don't say what your shape is." she whispered to the chillaxer. She then went over to a corner and started carving out a star that was in her honey treat.
Ryo then squatted right beside her, "By the way," Linka turned to him, "there's something I need to inform you about the case."
"What about it?" Linka questioned.
As Ryo explained his findings, Rose then came in. "Well, looks like all paths did end together."
"Here." Andrius tosses Rose a '5' canister, which she caught and opened the lid. She then scanned the inside with her finger, feeling a star shaped crack. She went over to a wall and took the needle across the cracks.
Just then the twins ran in, panting from their run. "The room's quickly filling." Ryo noted the latest arrivals, Orion looked to his friend who pointed to the table.
Orion and Maybelle went over and took a tin with a 6 and 7 respectively. Both finding a triangle cut in the honeycomb, the two nodding to each other as they split up.
Krystal pulled herself out of the filthy room, losing her designer boots in the mess. "Maaaan, those cost me 600 each!" She cried before shuffling down the hall out of there.
Krystal: 2/3
Krystal ran down, totally done with this challenge. But not as done as Roman was, who was tossed into a wall by the bear.
The grizzly roared before charging at him, Roman rolled out of the way leaving the bear to run head first into the wall. It stumbled out as Roman drilled a devastating Superman punch to the bear's head, he then lifted up the bear in a fireman's carry and just slammed the creature into the wall several times before dropping it down.
Roman pulled himself into the corner, his shirt was ripped off revealing claw marks all over his ripped upper body. He sized up the bear that slowly pushed itself up.
Roman then finished off the bear with a brutal spear. He then stood up and let out a monstrous roar that echoed through the tunnels.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWR~"
Roman: 2/3
As he limped out of the room, we cut to Uma as she sat up from the bed in the room she was in. She sighed "So." She looked Johnny, who rubbed the back of his head as he handed her the key. "Here."
She just took the key, "You've improved since last time, I'll give you that." She stood up, but before she can leave.
"Here." He handed her his shirt, "I thought you'd might want something to wear."
"You're an idiot." She sighed. She then took his shirt and put it on, concealing her body sans her arms and legs. "But at least your cute looking." She then walked out.
Uma: 2/3
(BZZT)
Johnny: You know, I think I'm making progress with her. It's weird. Normally whenever I go at it with a babe I just go for the next girl I haven't boned yet. But things are different with Uma, I mean she's the only girl I've fiddled more than once. What does that mean?
(BZZT)
Orion and Maybelle were still working on their triangles, when they saw coming from one of the hallways. The twins gasped when they saw Krystal, who was trying not to scream. The boy quickly ran to her and gave her a big comforting hug, not minding the stench.
Krystal gave out a wobbly smile as she embraced her boyfriend, "Thanks babe." Orion then walked her to the table, the girlfriend grabbing an '8' can, and finding a triangle.
Uma then walked in, the group noticing she was in a shirt they haven't seen in weeks. "Not one word." She told them as she head over to collect her canister, where she found a circle cut.
Ryo then picked off one last piece, before he pulled off the umbrella shape. He let out a chuckle "Looks like I'm done."
Linka saw this, "Looks like it, go ahead and win. We'll catch up later."
He then stood up and brought it over to the exit, where he placed his shape on a scanner.
Ding.
The screen gave him a check mark before the gate opened up for him. He looked back to the group, "Good luck guys." He then ran up the stairs to freedom.
Roman dragged his foot as he entered the room, the others looking towards him and gasped. "Dude, what happened to you?" Andrius questioned.
"Eh, just a scratch." Roman waved off as he limped towards the table.
"Well good luck." Andrius told him as Roman opens up the number 10 canister. "It's gonna take a while to-" he then saw Roman carving at supersonic speeds before he pulled the circle shaped honeycomb at places it in the scanner.
Ding.
Roman then limped up the stairs, the gate closing behind him. Andrius lifted up the canister to show that a hole was actually cut through the metal canister, along with the table where the canister was placed. He looks to his just started 7th honeycomb, "Showoff." He grumbled.
Ryo climbed the stairs till he found himself exiting a trapdoor in the the mess hall "What the heck?" He crawled out of the trapdoor.
"Sup Ryo." The detective turned to Greg as he appeared next to him. "And congrats on being the first one out."
"I've been in worse traps than whatever was done there."
"And that experience has come in handy, cause now you just won yourself a lifetime supply of chocolate." Greg present the detective with a giant pile of chocolates. Which the detective walked towards like an entranced zombie.
Greg then saw the trapdoor fly open, he then saw Roman crawl out holding his ribs. "Roman, you alright?"
"Oh nothing, just got out of a tussle with a 500lb bear." He groaned as he stood up, "I thought you didn't allow challenges like this."
"This was all the producers' idea, they felt this season wasn't drawing in as many viewers as they hoped. So they felt that putting the contestants through a Saw style cave of challenges would help the ratings. Also they said if I didn't, I'd be fired. I am not going back to dandruff commercials." Greg shook his head. "Any just sit over by Ryo and-" the two then saw Ryo standing in a giant pile of wrappers, he was licking his fingers.
"Ummmm hm. That hit the spot." Ryo said.
Greg then commented, "You know I didn't expect you to eat a lifetime of supply of chocolate in 7 seconds."
"By the way, there's something-"
Greg stopped him, "I saw all your files, and your pictures. Rest assured I've sent out a few interns to deal with this killer, luckily they're studying in criminology and have seen over 30 slasher films. I also brought in a professional."
Back underground we saw the others still carving into their candies. Some were doing well, as Linka had just finish her star shape. Others were not, this was shown with Andrius taking his 10th and final canister. Where he found a note which read.
'If a player fails all ten of their attempts at the honeycomb challenge, then that player is instantly disqualified'
Andrius started to sweat as he looked at the umbrella cut, "You will not be beat me!" he shouted at the honey comb before he started his final attempt.
Maybelle saw this and commented, "Poor guy."
Grace was doing some quick yet powerful pokes with the metal spike, making a perfectly cut star. Only took 3 tries "Done!" she then went over to the scanner after Linka was granted her exit.
Uma was picking the pieces of her honeycomb with her hands, until she was left with a circle. "Finished!"
Rose finishes her star shape, "Got it!" The only ones left carving were the twins, rich girl, and the shorty. The latter of which looked despondent at the honeycomb, with only the top part cut off leaving the handle still in the honeycomb.
He then put his can down, "Oh forget it, I'm done for."
Maybelle looked sadden at the kid's state, meanwhile Orion and Krystal were doing some the final touches on their honeycombs.
"And, done." Orion cut off his triangle, followed by Krystal.
"Same."
Maybelle looked to the two, "Uh you guys go ahead, I still have a ways to go." she told them.
"Well, okay. But run up the stairs when you're done." Orion said as he and Krystal got up and went to the scanner, both were granted exits as they followed the others up.
Maybelle meanwhile crawled over to Andrius, "Hey." the boy looked up to her, "You know I saw this in a show once." she grabbed his honeycomb and turned his head towards the hanging light "the main guy got his shape out by holding his treat up to the light, and licked the part where the outline is."
Andrius looked confused, but then saw an outline of the umbrella cut. He then asked, "Why are you helping me?"
"You looked sad, I just wanted to help." she shrugged, "Plus this is your last attempt, what do you got to lose other than 5 million dollars?"
She then went back to where she was before, Andrius looked at his honeycomb with a new sense of determination before he started to lick his treat. Taking quick glances to check where he was at, Maybelle watched as she kept carving into her own treat.
Up top Orion and Krystal had joined the party, Greg then announced to the viewers "And we're down to two remaining players, will the last surviving player be the other half of the Mystery Twins? Or will it be the underdog Andrius?"
Andrius continued to lick the honey, Maybelle was still carving out her triangle. The seconds went on as both combatants were going as fast as they could, the others looked to the trapdoor waiting to see who will exit out first.
Lick.
Pick.
Lick.
Pick.
This went on till one of them freed their shape and put it in the scanner...

The gate opened up, and that player bolted up the stairs. Out from the trapdoor was...

... "... ANDRIUS! Survives!" Greg called.
The little guy panted before he was pulled out by Roman, "Dude, you nearly scared me there."
Orion looks at this and sighs as Maybelle shortly followed suit, he went up to her. "Maybelle. I-"
"Its okay Bro-Bro, he just wanted it more." Maybelle told her brother, content with how things played out.
"We were supposed to go to the finale together, that was what you planned when we signed up."
"Maybe next time." she shrugged. "Oh, I want you to have something." she then pulled out a silver amulet.
"Wait, is that?"
"Yep, the third immunity idol. Found in a claw machine at Busch Gardens." Maybelle nodded before putting it in her brother's hand, "There, now you and Krystal each have one."
Orion blinked, "What?"
"Bro, I know Ryo gave you his idol." Maybelle told him, shocking her brother "I saw that he had one, and I theorized he gave you his because your his friend and he doesn't care about the money, but I was positive when I felt something from your jacket poking me in our last Awkward Sibling Hug."
"So... are you mad I didn't save you?" he asked worriedly.
"No I'm upset you lied to me about not having one." he drooped his head, she then rested her head "But you can make it up to me by winning the grand prize for the both of us."
Orion lifted his head up and nodded, "I promise, I'll win." he then held his arms out, "Awkward Sibling Hug?"
Maybelle shook her head, "Sincere Sibling Hug." the two then embraced each other.
"Pat, pat." they said as they patted each other on the backs.
Greg then walked up to the twins as they separated, "Maybelle, I'm sorry. But you came in last, and as such you are eliminated from the game. Go pack up your things and be at the front gate in 10."
Maybelle nodded, "Thanks for giving me this chance Greg, thanks for letting me and my brother play together." the two then shared a handshake as Maybelle made her way to the mess hall door.
"Its been fun May." Grace high fived her.
"I'll be sure to email you as soon as convenient." Linka said to her.
"You were like the sister I never had." Rose told her.
"It was an honor to compete with you." Ryo bowed to her.
"I hope to finish our game of ToD." Uma said, "Also I'm still waiting on if you ever had 'dreams' of your brother."
Maybelle rolled her eyes at Uma, she then faced Krystal. "Hey, take care of Orion for me." to which Krystal nodded before she was crushed by Maybelle, the rich girl softly returned it. Maybelle then stopped when she Roman and Andrius caught up with her.
"Girl, you are one tough as bitch. Don't let anybody knock you down." Roman told her.
Andrius then walked up to her, "Thanks... for helping me."
"Your welcome." Maybelle then hugged her fellow returnees, Roman patted her head as Andrius returned the hug. Maybelle lets the two go, "Later." she then went to get her things.
As the sun set, she was waving goodbye to her friends as she was driven off in the Jeep of Losers. Greg then faced the camera, "You hate to see them go, but that's how it goes. What else is instore for our contestants? Will there be an appearance by the Diamond Lake killer? I thought he was just legend." he shook his head, "Join in next time to find out on...
Total.
Drama.
Diamond Lake!"
