Welcome to another chapter of Total Drama: Running Time! Last time our Running Men played in the first round of the solo matches. We see what Heather has up her sleeve, and a special ability Kitty has. But now the game is finally on. Who will win? Find out in Total Drama: Running Time!

We see Carrie, MacArthur, Shawn and Mike running to the center of the first floor of the War Tower. There were flying objects around the room with a white glaze and glowing green parts on it.

"Okay, Heather's power is formidable. We need to find some way to counter that." Shawn was thinking of how to counter Heather's ability.

"Yeah, we need to think of something!" Carrie thinks this is of utmost importance.

"How about we split up?" MacArthur suggests splitting up.

"What? No! We can't do that, not until we figure out how to counter her!" Mike warns her not to split up.

"By splitting up?" MacArthur still thinks they should split up.

"I already said, splitting up isn't an option." Mike tries to get the point through her skull.

"Splitting up, it is." MacArthur is not listening to reason.

MacArthur then runs towards one of the many doors.

"Ugh, I'll go after her. You guys try to find something." Mike sighs in defeat. "MacArthur! Wait up!"

Mike then follows MacArthur into the door.

"So, which way do we go?" Carrie asked where to go next.

"Let's just go through any one of them, we're bound to find some marbles anyway." Shawn suggests going into a random door.

"By the way, you seem less paranoid about zombies. What's up with that?" Carrie noticed that Shawn isn't so paranoid.

"Oh, I'm still paranoid. It's just that something about this place makes me feel safer than any other place." Shawn states that this place makes him feel safer.

"Really? Why?" Carrie asked if what about this place makes him feel safer.

"I don't really know." Shawn shrugs it off.

"Okay then." Carrie smiles.

We then see Kitty and Owen walking inside one of the small rooms. Kitty's eyes flash purple for a second and smirks.

"Two of the marbles are here. Why not split it between the two of us." Kitty offers to give a marble to Owen.

"Gee, thanks." Owen smiled at the offer.

Both of them looked around the room. Owen broke a porcelain vase and revealed two marbles.

"Oh! Oh! Found some!" Owen called Kitty to come to him.

Kitty ran to him. They each pick up a marble and it disappears into their watches.

"I've seen many sci-fi shows before, but this is next level." Owen said in awe of the technology.

"I agree. I wonder how they do it." Kitty smiled in agreement.

We then see Mike running into another room and seeing MacArthur rummaging around the room.

"MacArthur, come on. You can't go by yourself." Mike stops her from going alone.

"Meh, hold your horses, I found 2 more marbles." MacArthur was not bothered.

"Even though. One swipe from the Hunter and it's over." Mike then looks up. "Oh my gosh." He muttered.

"Why, what's wrong?" MacArthur then turns to look at what Mike was looking at.

A statue of Scott, dead center in the room.

"Why is he here?!" Mike yelled in confusion.

"What? Who is that?" MacArthur doesn't recognise who the statue was depicting.

"It's Scott. We competed against each other back in seasons 4 and 5." Mike explains who Scott is. "But why is he here?!" He still was confused.

"I don't know. Probably competed here last year. This is the 100th so there are probably other games before this." MacArthur thinks of a reason why Scott was depicted.

"We should look at the other statues, maybe they might tell us if other Total Drama contestants have competed." Mike states that they should know who else has competed in this game.

"While looking for more marbles while we're at it." MacArthur points out that they still need to find marbles.

"Yeah, that too." Mike said sheepishly in forgetting.

Kitty and Owen walk into the room.

"Hey guys!" Owen greeted.

"So, have you found anything yet?" Kitty asked if they had found any marbles.

"I found 2 more. How about you?" MacArthur asks if they also found marbles.

"We each have 1, so that means there are 3 more we need to find." Owen counted the marbles.

"The time for you guys to find the last 3 marbles is enough time for me to get you eliminated." Heather's voice was heard nearby.

Each of them takes out their weapons and makes a circle formation so that they can't be snuck up on.

"You think that will stop me?" Heather asked in a menacing tone. "Big mistake."

Heather drops down from the ceiling and in between them. And before they knew it, she tackled Owen to the ground.

"Ahh! Help!" Owen yells out for anyone to help him.

"Owen!" All three of the others yelled.

Heather takes Owen's shield. A marble pops up from his watch. But then Mike tackles her off him and shocks her with his shock batons.

"AAAAAAGGGHH!" Heather yelled out in pain.

"Owen out! Owen out!" A female voice announces Owen's elimination.

Kitty then ran to get Owen's marble.

Heather then punched Mike in the face. Mike falls back and Heather gets back up.

Kitty and MacArthur began shooting at Heather. She dodges all of it.

"Hah! Think that'll stop me?!" Heather yelled as she continued dodging.

Eventually, Heather gets hit in the stomach.

"Agh!" Heather yelled in pain

Mike jumps up and swings his batons towards Heather. He gets a solid hit and Heather falls down, shocked.

"Agh! That shocking is annoying!" Heather yelled out in annoyance.

Mike jumps up and gives another swing, but Heather dodges it.

"What the?" Mike then gets punched away, knocked out.

"No!" Kitty yells out.

Heather walks to Mike's body and steals his shield.

The giant arm pops up and drags Mike into the portal.

"Mike out! Mike out!" The robot announces Mike's elimination.

"Oh no!" Kitty and MacArthur yelled.

"To be honest, I was a bit skeptical of this thing. But now that I got used to the power, I feel like i can do anything." Heather grinned menacingly. "Even take your emblems!"

Heather dashed at them.

"Agh!" They both yelled.

Kitty then pushes MacArthur out of the way and gets tackled by Heather.

"I got you now!" Heather yelled.

Kitty then points her arm cannon at Heather. Heather then pushes it before it can shoot her.

"Not today!" Heather grinned at the attempt.

Heather then went to grab Kitty's emblem.

"Oh no!" Kitty yelled.

Kitty then unexpectedly crashed her head into Heather's head, causing her to stumble.

"Agh!" Heather rubbed her forehead.

Kitty then got up, also rubbing her forehead.

"I don't know why I just did that, but I'm lucky it happened.

"Keyword, lucky." Heather dashed towards Kitty.

They both got into an armlock. Both of them were trying to push each other.

"MacArthur! Get out of here!" Kitty tells MacArthur to run.

MacArthur then takes out her gun and shoots Heather in the head.

"Agh! Why does this game keep hurting me!" Heather yelled in frustration.

"Go! Run! I can handle myself!" Kitty keeps telling MacArthur to run.

"I'm out of here!" MacArthur yelled.

MacArthur ran out of the room. Kitty looked at Heather with her hand on her head.

"Well, don't you have any backup?" Heather taunts her.

"I have another." Kitty smirks.

Kitty's arm cannon first formed into her bracelet. But then it formed into something else; a katana.

"I've been waiting to find a use for this." Kitty smirks with confidence.

"What the heck? First, you, like, did something to me, I don't know if you did like a poison or something, but now you pull out a katana?!" Heather was utterly speechless.

"Where I got this thing is none of your concern. What's your concern is how you're gonna beat me." Kitty then does a fighting stance.

"Game on!" Heather yelled, ready for battle.

They both charge at each other.

We then see Shawn and Carrie inside one of the rooms in front of a statue of Scarlett. They each have one marble.

"I can't believe Scarlett was once a competitor." Shawn frowned at the sight of Scarlett.

"She was the one who threatened to kill you guys back in your season, right?" Carrie asked if that was the case.

"Yeah. Looking back, that was a pretty ballsy move considering she wanted to blow up the island with her on it." Shawn laughed thinking of what went wrong back then.

Suddenly, MacArthur ran into the room.

"Guys, we've gotta move." MacArthur warned them.

"We know, Heather got Owen and Mike too." Carrie frowned that the others have been eliminated.

"But what about Kitty?" Shawn asked if Kitty was okay.

"She's holding her own. How many marbles do you guys have?" MacArthur asked if they got any marbles.

"We each have 1 marble. You?" Shawn said.

"I have 3. Kitty now has 2." MacArthur counted the amount of marbles they have.

"That means we have one more to find." Carrie concluded that they have to find one more marble.

"How about the center room?" MacArthur suggested the center room.

"We haven't checked that part." Shawn said.

"We were there a while ago." Carrie realized that they've been there.

"How about those flying things there? Maybe Heather hid one there." Shawn said in remembering the flying objects.

"Yeah, I'm good with it." MacArthur agreed to the idea.

"Well then. I guess I'm outnumbered." Carrie said.

They walk out of the room.

We then see Heather and Kitty taking their fight into one of the hallways. Kitty has been weakened a lot and is on her knees. Heather has sustained a lot of damage, but is still standing.

"Wow! You put up quite the fight." Heather was panting a lot. "Well then, let's get you eliminated."

Heather walked to Kitty. But then she formed her katana into her arm cannon and aimed it at her.

"Oh please. What's that gonna do when you're weakened." Heather taunted Kitty's injuries.

Kitty began firing in many directions, causing a bit of a smokescreen. Heather was coughing and waving away the dust.

"Try all you want, you can't fight me." Heather smirked.

"I was not trying to fight you." Kitty's voice was heard.

The dust cleared, showing Kitty far in front of her.

"Kaboom!" Kitty yelled.

Kitty then shot at the ceiling again and it collapsed, causing a cave-in.

"Agh!" Heather covered her eyes as dust flew to her face.

Heather looks at the rubble.

"That happened." Heather said.

Heather began running in a different direction. Meanwhile, Kitty was catching her breath.

"Okay, that was tough!" Kitty exclaimed.

She then looks at her watch. There is 5 minutes left in the timer.

"I've got time." Kitty smiled.

Kitty then ran in another direction.

We then see the other 3 prey in the center of the floor. Shawn was using his grappling hook to swing from the flying objects while Carrie and MacArthur were watching from below.

"Do you see anything?" MacArthur asked if Shawn had found anything.

"No, not yet." Shawn told them that he hasn't found any marbles.

"Try the last one." Carrie instructed him while pointing at a flying object he hadn't checked.

"Okay!" Shawn yelled.

Shawn began to swing over to the final object.

"Oh no you don't!" Heather's voice was heard.

Heather was seen flying and she grabbed on to the rope, disrupting Shawn's swing.

"Aaaagh!" Shawn yelled from the sudden disruption.

Shawn then crashed into the object. He fell down from it, along with a marble that was hidden on the object.

Shawn then lands on the floor. Carrie and MacArthur rushed to her aid.

"Oh, that hurt!" Shawn groaned in pain.

Heather then dashed at them and tackled MacArthur.

"Oh no!" Carrie yelped.

"Hey! I'm supposed to be tackling people." MacArthur complained.

"Hey, this isn't a crime scene. It's a game." Heather grinned.

Heather then takes MacArthur's shield. 3 marbles pop out of her watch as she is pulled into a portal.

"MacArthur out! MacArthur out!" A robot announces

"Ah crap, we're on our own now." Shawn exclaimed.

Shawn then used his grappling hook and latched on to Heather's face.

"Nrgh!" Heather exclaimed as she was pulled towards Shawn.

"Carrie! Now!" Shawn yelled.

Carrie then gets between them and uppercuts Heather with her robot arm.

"Agh!" Heather lands in front of them.

"Whoo!" Carrie was exhilarated.

"Ugh, beaten by someone who looks like they have qualms against fighting." Heather groaned about being beaten by someone who looks like a pacifist. "I wonder what Gwen has to say about that."

Heather then begins running toward Carrie. Carrie tries to give a left swing with her robot arm and real arm, but she dodges it to the left and steals her shield.

"Oh crap." Carrie said, knowing the inevitable.

Carrie was then pulled into the portal. A marble popped out of her watch.

"Okay, I'm out!" Shawn said in fear.

Shawn then grappled away from there.

"Come back here!" Heather yelled as she gave chase.

As the two ran around the area, Kitty ran to the battle site. She began to pick up the fallen marbles.

"3rd marble acquired. 4th marble acquired." A female voice announced.

"Gotta be quick!" Kitty was worried that she'd be caught.

Back with the others, Shawn and Heather were flying in the air. Heather has her hand on Shawn's shield.

"No!" Shawn yelled.

Heather then stole Shawn's shield. A marble popped out his watch. When they landed, an arm grabbed Shawn and began to pull him.

"I think this is how it feels to be pulled by zombies!" Shawn yelled out as the portal closed.

"Okay, one more." Heather grinned.

"7th marble acquired." A female voice announced.

"What the?" Heather was confused.

The marble that popped out of Shawn's watch rolled to Kitty's feet. She picks it up and smirks.

"I'm gonna win." Kitty said.

"No!" Heather yelled.

Heather then charges at Kitty. The marble in her hand disappears into Kitty's watch before Heather tackles her.

"Too late." Kitty said.

"The winner of the first solo match is Kitty!" A robot announces.

Both girls got up.

"Whoo!" Kitty yelled in excitement.

So, that's the end of the first match. Kitty has won and might get a Spirit. Next chapter will focus more on the investigation squad, the Peacekeepers and the secrets of the games in general.
