Stepping out of his trailer and taking a breath of the fresh canadian air,Chris grinned at the camera, "Previously on Total Drama;

Split up to think up some killer acts,the teams were set on stage to put on a talent show for Grandmaster Chef! Gundham came out of his shell a tad bit when he finally revealed his first name to Fujisaki,but unbeknownst to them they were heard by Miu who is planning to strike...eventually. Despite the strong promise of victory from Himiko's magic act and Leon's yo-yo skills for the Bass,things took a shocking turn for the awesome with Gundham's Italian Opera winning the day for the Gophers. At the campfire ceremony later that night it was down to Toko and Hagakure. While he did score the lowest for his team in the challenge it was surprisingly Hagakure who received the final marshmallow thanks to the all guys alliance to kick out who they thought were the far weaker girls. Messed up,yet hilarious in terms of ratings,heh heh. Today the campers will be putting their survival skills to test with a simple challenge and epic results. Who's gonna near die? And who's saying buh-bye? Find out tonight on an all new episode of Total! Drama! Island!".

*campfire pit*

Chris stood in front of the current eighteen campers,who were tired from being woken up at half 7 in the morning. As the sun rose over the horizon and shone on Lake Wawanakwa,Chris explained the next challenge. "Alright Campers,today's challenge is an extremely simple one that I'm certain you idiots will find a way to mess up" he chuckled. "Lemme guess,a battle of the sexes in a disgusting eating challenge?" Nagito asked, "Or perhaps blindfolded extreme sports?". Chris looked surprised, "Huh,not bad ideas for challenges" he muttered to himself,writing them down on his hand. He shook his head, "Interesting guesses N-Man but nope to both. Today your survival skills will be put to the test. Teams will be given a map,a compass and a set of coordinates into the middle of the woods across the island. Once at your set location you'll have to set up camp and forage for food. Both teams will camp it out for the night in the woods and have to get all their teammates back for breakfast tomorrow morning. Last team to get all their members back will return here tomorrow night to send someone down the dock of shame to the loser boat" Chris explained as he finished going over the challenge. Celeste raised a hand, "Pardon me for asking,but what exactly is there to stop a team from returning to camp in the middle of the night to win easily?" she asked. Chris snapped his fingers, "Excellent question. We've got a simple solution to prevent this,which comes down to us just using the tracking devices placed in your necks to make sure nobody cheats" he said, "Cause if you do cheat,it's an instant elimination,got it?". Everyone replied with a simultaneous "yes Chris". Chef walked out holding cans of beans and threw them at the campers, "This here's breakfast. Chow down and move out,I don't wanna see you maggots until 8am tomorrow morning" he ordered. Kazuichi's spine shivered as he ate a spoonful of beans, "Aw man they aren't even cooked,it's like eating raw spinach". Chef whirled round on his heels, "What was that boy? I. Didn't. Hear. You." he said menacingly. Kazuichi leaned back and put his hands forward, "Uh n-nothing! We're good!" he stammered.

CONFESSIONAL START

Kazuichi Soda (Screaming Gophers): Note to self,don't anger the Chef guy. He'd probably turn me from a mechanic to donut in a few seconds.

Gonta Gokuhara (Killer Bass): Oh oh oh! Camping is Gonta's favourite after bugs! Gonta used to live in woods,so know much about outside!

Celeste Ludenberg (Killer Bass): Winning this challenge is incredibly vital. Since all of the boys want to remove myself,Himiko and then the weaker teammates it can only be a matter of time before they send me home next. Luckily I'm willing to gamble anything to come out on top when the time calls for it.

CONFESSIONAL END

"Such a pathetic task to fulfill,we'll undoubtedly win the day no matter what" Gundham scoffed as he fed his beans to the Four Dark Devas. "Are you excited for camping too Tanaka?" Gonta asked,looking down at the wizard. "Excited? Please,I am known as a master of animals and all things on the topic of the outdoors" Gundham explained, "My all-knowing might can handle anything that this plain of existence can throw my way". Gonta was amazed, "Gonta like your funny words Magic Man" he said in awe, "Gonta live in jungle,know a lot about bugs and plants and being gentleman" he said happily. "The jungle you say?" Gundham asked, "Interesting,I myself have spent time living alone in the wilderness" he said. "Gonta even raised by wolves!" Gonta exclaimed. "How many planetary cycles?" Gundham asked. Gonta tapped the rims of his huge glasses, "Um...Gonta can't remember when not living in jungle. Maybe all of life?" he said. Gundham was impressed,but he didn't want to show it.

CONFESSIONAL START

Gundham Tanaka (Screaming Gophers): Gokuhara is a peculiar man who seems to share my interests with an intriguing home of origin. Be us on opposing teams or not,it might be within my best interests to befriend him. Mayhaps he even too be worthy of hearing my true name?

CONFESSIONAL END

"Woah,what's that magic moron doing?" Miu asked,as she dumped her soggy beans into a bush behind her. "He's just talking with Gonta,nothing to worry about" said Kirumi,as she looked at the map and sun to try and prepare for the journey. "But what if he's giving away all our teams weaknesses or special tactics?" Miu protested. "Yeah right,our team is nothing but one dimensional chumps" laughed Kokichi,poking his head up from behind the two girls. "One dimensional? Talk about rubbish,my babs got so much lift they have their own dimension!" Miu proclaimed,pushing up her breasts. "But isn't there only three,possibly four dimensions?" asked Keebo. "Whatever Mega Man" Miu sighed. Chris looked at his watch, "Okay guys and gals,that's enough time for eating. Get your butts out into the woods pronto,I better not see any of you until 8am tomorrow morning!" he called out,as the teams picked up their camping gear and headed out into the woods.

*Killer Bass*

"Anyone good at reading coordinates?" Leon asked,as he squinted at the map and fiddled with the compass. "I think the compass is set to always point to the North and South Poles" said Ishimaru. "That sounds about right" said Hagakure, "I remember hearing something like that in Geography when I was younger". "Incredible,you know basic navigation skills that my 5 year old cousin knows" said Celeste sarcastically. "Trust me,basic info takes a guy far" said Hagakure. "Heh,fuckin Shakespeare with the inspirational quotes out the ass over here" said Mondo,pointing at Hagakure and making the others laugh. "Oh yeah,laugh it up. I'll be chuckling in the end when I see your future of being gay or something" Hagakure pouted. "Wow,that's the first time I've heard someone use gayness as an insult. And it came from a grown man for god's sake" said Leon. "That's what I'm saying man,Shakespeare walking with us" chuckled Mondo. Ishimaru was annoyed, "Can we cut out the discouraging banter and focus on where we're going. If we get lost we could be in for one heck of a night" he explained. Gonta placed a giant hand onto Ishimaru's shoulder, "Don't worry. Gonta is genius at forest,no getting lost when Gonta here" he assured him. Ishimaru thought for a moment. "Maybe you're right Gonta. You know about bugs and the woods,maybe this'll be a whole lot easier than I originally thought" he said. Celeste scoffed, "Need I remind you that the other team also has an animal expert?" she asked, "From what I've overheard he's going by the nickname 'Ultimate Breeder' thanks to his knowledge on animals and the wilderness. Who's to say he won't be able to outsmart Gonta here?". Gonta shook his head, "Tanaka is smart at animals,but Gonta live in jungle for all time!" he exclaimed, "Gonta is also big and strong,like favourite gentleman Jonathan Joestar!". Mondo's ears perked up hearing that name: Jonathan Joestar. "Hey big guy,you watch JoJo's Bizarre Adventure?" he asked. Gonta pushed up his glasses after nodding excitedly at the question, "YES! JoJo is favourite show! Gonta watch it all the time to learn gentleman style and language!". Mondo shook his head and laughed, "So your favourite is Part 1? Nice,mine's Part 4. My brother's too. He even named our biker gang back home after Josuke's Stand 'Crazy Diamond' cause he loved it so much" he explained. "Dam,who would've guessed that the two most intimidating guys here were fanboys for a dumb anime" Leon snarked to Himiko,who giggled at the joke. Hearing this,Gonta and Mondo turned around and looked down at the two. "What was that?" Gonta asked. "Speak up little dudes,we didn't hear you" said Mondo. "Uhhhhh...no hablo English?" said Himiko timidly. "Yeah that's what I thought" said Mondo. He turned to Gonta, "You dude...have excellent taste". Gonta nodded, "As do you" he said. The two shared a manly handshake,the clap of the joining palms causing a loud bang that shook the trees and made birds scatter. As the Bass headed further into the woods being lead by Gonta and Ishimaru,unbeknownst to them they had lost one of their teammates.

CONFESSIONAL START

Himiko Yumeno (Killer Bass): Okay,so maybe I got a little distracted by seeing some beavers in the river and maybe I got lost. I promise it wasn't my fault,the others just sorta vanished like they used magic!

CONFESSIONAL END

*Screaming Gophers*

Unlike the Killer Bass who were still trudging through the woods (minus 1 team member) the Gophers had already reached their campsite and were kicking back in the warm summer breeze. Included in their supplies was a small radio,some lawn chairs and some tents which allowed for some comforts while staying out overnight. The only ones not relaxing at camp were Kirumi and Fujisaki,who had followed Gundham to the river to cash some fish for dinner later that night. Using makeshift fishing rods that Kazuichi and Miu had whipped up,the three sat by the riverbank. Kirumi sat on a stump and stared intently at the water in the hope that a fish would swim by and bite onto her line. Meanwhile Fujisaki looked in awe at the Four Dark Devas with Gundham relishing in his newfound friend. "Still interested in the Four Dark Devas of Destruction I see" Gundham mused, "Wonderful that you returned to them. They have spoken about how much they enjoy your company. Unlike those other fools that I am forced to share a cabin with". Fujisaki tilted her head, "Of course I wanted to see them again,they're so cute!". Gundham stood up and stretched his back, "You know I haven't been fishing in years". "Are you any good Gu-...I mean Tanaka?" Fujisaki asked. Gundham nodded, "I used to work on my Grandfather's fishing trawler. We'd spend weeks at sea catching crab and prawns,sleeping on shelf-like bunks and weathering the fiercest of storms in the Atlantic Ocean" he explained,staring into the distance and remembering his glory days of working with middle aged men on a floating rust bucket. Fujisaki and Kirumi were impressed. "Sounds like you could be considered an expert" said Kirumi, "Would you mind teaching me how to fish more efficiently?" she asked. Gundham chuckled and folded his arms, "Silly woman,when it comes to fishing there is no way to learn or become better. It's all merely a waiting game. A test of raw endurance and patience,nothing more and nothing less" he explained. Crouching on a rock that overhung the rushing water,he slung his line into the water as Kirumi and Fujisaki watched. Waiting and counting in his head,it was but a few moments till the line gave a sharp tug. Quick as a flash Gundham spun the reel handle to propel and flopping bass out of the water and into the air,dangling from the razor hook in it's mouth. Looking over at the two girls he gave no words,only a smirk which was clearly meant to say "behold my power". Following his lead,the girls grabbed their fishing rods and sat next to Gundham to start fishing for real.

CONFESSIONAL START

Chihiro Fujisaki (Screaming Gophers): Fishing is so much more relaxing than I thought it would be. I think it's something I'd love to do more in the future,maybe me and my Dad can go if he ever gets time off work?

Kirumi Tojo (Screaming Gophers): *looking at a fish* Hmm,perhaps this will make a good sushi meal?

Gundham Tanaka (Screaming Gophers): Keh heh heh. The force is strong with these ones.

CONFESSIONAL END

*Himiko Yumeno*

As darkness set,Himiko slowly walked through the woods,nervously looking around to try and find anyone she could. "H-hello?" she called out, "I-is anyone out there?". Wolves could be heard howling in the distance,which caused her to jump with fright. Sniffing,she kept moving. "K-Killer Bass! Are you t-there?" she yelled. Suddenly a pile of leaves began to rustle loudly,causing Himiko to squeal in fear and run off.

CONFESSIONAL START

Himiko Yumeno (Killer Bass): I'm get scared of being alone in the woods or being in the dark. So lucky me that I was alone in both the dark and the woods.

CONFESSIONAL START

Darkness had swept over Wawanakwa Island and the Killer Bass were sitting around their campfire,eating the beaver Mondo had killed and cooked for them. While most enjoyed the flavour,Celeste was all but happy with the meal. "This is absolutely ghastly" she scoffed. "Gee thanks" Mondo mumbled as he continued to grill his food to make it a crisp golden brown. "Better than Chef Hatchet's it may be,but anything is better than that filth" Celeste droned. "Uh uh" said Leon,throwing more leaves onto the fire. "You'd just think that more effort would've been put in,taking into account our situation" continued Celeste. Hagakure rolled his eyes, "Shut up man! Are you seriously gonna whine all night?". "I'm just saying,it's not up to my usual standards" Celeste pouted. "Meaning?" Leon asked. Celeste thought for a moment. "Meaning I'm used to having higher class service than half assed attempts" she said. This set Mondo off,who stood and grabbed the goth by the collar of her shirt and held her in the air. "I'M SICK OF YOUR SHIT!" he shouted, "YOU WANNA ACT ALL HIGH AND MIGHTY? WELL I WANNA SEE YOU ACT LIKE THAT AFTER I KICK YOUR ASS!". Ishimaru and Hagakure tried to hold the biker back while Leon and Keebo tried to pry his fingers off of her. Celeste,who was coughing and trying to remove his hand,had gone blue in the face. While this was going on,Gonta had gotten scared and run off into the woods. Not being one for violence,all the shouting and fighting left him frightened and deciding to sleep alone away from everyone else until things calmed down.

"C'mon dude let her go,it ain't worth it!" Leon yelled,pushing up against Mondo's chest to try and knock him over. "Get your head in the game man,she's just an idiotic girl for christ sake" Ishimaru agreed. "NO! AN ENTIRE WEEK I'VE PUT UP WITH HER BITCHING AND MOANING! NO LONGER DO I GOTTA LISTEN TO IT,I'M GONNA BREAK YOUR MOUTH!" Mondo roared,raising a fist to punch Celeste in the mouth. Celeste gulped, "Please let my death be one of the quicker ones" she whispered to herself.

CONFESSIONAL START

Celeste Ludenberg (Killer Bass): I normally fear no man or woman. But just then,right at that time...he scared me.

Mondo Owada (Killer Bass): Pfft. She's lucky she walked away with what she got.

Keebo (Killer Bass): Classic teen madness. If movies and magazines have taught me anything,Celeste will either have to break something over Mondo's back to get even or fall in love with him. Obviously neither option is feasible though.

Gonta Gokuhara (Killer Bass): Gonta has ENOUGH of fighting! Sleeping alone will be much better...maybe.

CONFESSIONAL END

With his fist raised,Mondo was about to swing...but stopped. Gears were clearly turning in his head,his face turning into a scowl. He gave one quick punch to Celeste's face,turning her left eye a dark shade of purple and blue,before dropping her to ground. The guys all sighed,helping Celeste (who was quite shaken) and leaving Mondo to walk off to the river by himself to cool down. "Jesus,talk about crazy,right?" Leon sighed,sitting on the ground. Ishimaru nodded, "That's one way to put it". He looked into the direction Mondo stormed off in, "Probably best we live Mondo to his own for the rest of the night. I'm sure he'll come back and talk to us when he's ready" he said. Turning to Celeste and looking down he frowned, "As for you! Lucky you are you walked away with only a black eye and shake up. None of us like our situation on this show,but you've done nothing but complain since Day 1. Now I'll have no more of this nonsense for the rest of the time that you are on this show with us,and you will not speak to Mondo unless it is to give an apology or he initiates conversation with you. Am. I. Clear?" Ishimaru ordered. Celeste took a deep breath and nodded. "Understood Ishimaru" she said quietly. "Good" he said with a serious,yet satisfied face. He looked around camp,noticing he was missing not one,but three Killer Bass members. He tutted,shook his head and folded his arms, "It seems like we've lost Himiko and Gonta". He turned to Leon and Keebo. "You two,please head out to try and find Himiko and Gonta. Remember what Chris said,if we don't have our entire team we cannot win the challenge" he explained. Leon shrugged, "No problem,lemme take a piss and we'll head out". Getting a hand from Keebo to stand up,Leon went to empty his tank in a bush. After finishing,he walked back out while pulling up his zipper with one hand and giving a thumbs up to Keebo with the other. Leon grabbed a flashlight and Keebo turned on his eye torches as they vanished into the night.

CONFESSIONAL START

Kiyotaka Ishimaru (Killer Bass): Honestly the state of the team! Hopefully I can turn us around,but from the looks of things it won't be today.

CONFESSIONAL END

The Screaming Gophers were fairing much better...at first. Gorging on the fish caught by Gundham,Kirumi and Fujisaki they had been enjoying a nice dinner when an unwelcome visitor of the furry kind had joined them without an invite. To make a long story short,the entire team was hiding up a tree after Ibuki's singing had attracted a bear into their campgrounds. Now sitting in the rain,in a tree,hiding from a bear,the team weren't very happy campers. "I told you this would happen" Gundham grumbled,as his hair flopped downwards into his face. Ibuki shook her head violently to splash off the water, "I swear to God I thought bears were colour blind". "What does that have to do with noise?" Kazuichi asked. Ibuki shrugged, "What were we talking about again?". "How you were gonna hug that bear" Kokichi giggled. Kirumi flicked her hair, "Ignore him,he just wants to see someone get hurt for a laugh". Kokichi looked up at the maid, "Awwwww how'd you know that about lil' ol' me?". "Just a hunch" said Kirumi. As the rain kept pouring down,the Gophers realised they might be stuck up the tree for the whole night when a moment later they heard a rustling in some bushes. Stumbling out and swearing at each other,Leon and Keebo emerged. "Aw shit,I just got stung by a nettle" Leon whined, "Including the rain this has been such a shit day". "I agree,things really haven't been going our way as of late" said Keebo. He extended his eye lenses and scanned the area. "Strange. For such a huge man,Gonta is really difficult to find". "Kinda weird,you'd think a giant wall of muscle would stick out like a sore thumb round here." Leon agreed, "All the green clothing on the guy must be camouflaging him with the trees" he joked. Not really understanding the joke,Keebo kept scanning the area. He looked up to see the Screaming Gophers in their tree and was puzzled as to what they could be doing. He shrugged it off and looked down the tree to see a giant shadow. Smiling to himself,he nudged Leon and pointed towards it.

CONFESSIONAL START

Keebo (Killer Bass): *covered in duck tape and oil* Note to self - nothing in nature is safe.

Kokichi Oma (Screaming Gophers): I'm not sure how Mega Man and Pitcher Boy mistook the bear for Mr Bugs...but BOY WAS IT HILARIOUS!

CONFESSIONAL END

"Finally we found one of them" Leon sighed,as he and Keebo approached the shadow, "C'mon Gonta,the fights all over. Now let's get outta here and back to our campsite so we can dry off from the rain" he said,walking over and putting his hand on it. As soon as his hand slapped it's back,Leon was drenched in confusion. "Uh...Keebo? Did Gonta have fur earlier?". he asked nervously. Keebo shook his head, "Not that I can recall. Maybe it's just something on his back,try pulling it off". Leon bit his lip,scrunched his hand and ripped away the hair. A heart stopping roar could be heard next to the boys. Shining his eye-lights,the shadow grew to stand up,revealing itself to be not Gonta,but a wild grizzly bear. Leon extended a hand holding the fur he had ripped off,before the bear roared again. Terrified,the boys were frozen with fear. Leon was more scared,yelling "TAKE HIM!" as he shoved Keebo at the animal,turned and booked it out the area as fast as his legs could carry him. "Wow. Talk about team spirit" said Fujisaki.

CONFESSIONAL START

Keebo (Killer Bass): Y'know I'm starting to get really sick of being mauled by this country's wilderness. Starting to get to the point where I wanna start suing the show,spare parts aren't cheap!

Chris McLean: Ha,he wishes! Power of contracts. Iron-clad!

CONFESSIONAL END

Sitting in a damp,leaky cave,Himiko was perched on a rock crying. "This has been the worst night ever. I get lost,it's raining,I cut my legs,I have to sleep in a cave! How could things get any worse?" she sobbed. Unfortunately for Himiko,she didn't know that it was a law of the universe for things to get automatically worse when asked,which is why she was screaming her lungs out when the same bear that attacked Keebo entered the cave and began roaring at her. Screaming in terror she dashed away into the rain.

CONFESSIONAL START

Himiko Yumeno (Killer Bass): *sniffs* Worst. Day *sniffs* Ever!

CONFESSIONAL END

Time went by,the rain poured down and the campers slept. With the bear gone,the Gophers were back sleeping in their tents while the Killer Bass slept in there tents (excluding Celeste who was forced to sleep outside as punishment for upsetting Mondo,who was also yet to return when they were nodding off). Himiko was still on her own,and without noticing,Gonta had returned to the Killer Bass campsite. He noticed Celeste sleeping under a tree with leaves and sticks around her to form a shelter. He didn't want to disturb her or the other Bass,so he ended up sleeping in the rain on two of the lawn chairs. While everyone slept,Mondo was out by the river,standing stoically with his arms folded and looking out into the lake. He had followed the river to the very end and was having some alone time.

CONFESSIONAL START

Mondo Owada (Killer Bass): No idea why people always say it's best to vent out and be around loads of people. I think being by yourself and thinking helps a lot more. Sure as hell didn't go to no therapist to talk when my brother died last year.

CONFESSIONAL END

After a long and tedious night,the sun finally began to rise. As the campers woke up,the limbered themselves up before beginning their trip back to camp to make it in time for breakfast. Inside the main lodge,Chris and Chef were waiting by the serving window eating toast and drinking coffee. "Sure was a rough sounding night" said Chef, "Think the kids are alright?". Chris laughed, "You're kidding right? They're fine!". As he finished his sentence,the Killer Bass bustled in,covered in dirt,wet clothes,cuts and scrapes. Celeste still had a busted up eye and Keebo was sliced in half. Mondo,Nagito and Hagakure were carrying the injured robot's torso and legs respectively. They noticed the Gophers weren't there yet,cheering as they sat down at their table. The Gophers soon joined them,groaning that they had lost after their awful night. Chris and Chef laughed at their conditions. "Looks like you guys had a fun time" Chris chuckled. "Hey,I need to file a claim" Keebo snapped,gesturing at his separated legs. Chris shook his head and tutted, "Sorry dude,read the contract. We were only legible for the first upgrade and repair. Anything else is on you". Keebo snapped his remaining fingers and gave a quiet "dammit". While he did that,Himiko slipped in looking an awful state. She was all busted up,covered in cuts,scrapes,dirt and torn clothes. "What the hell happened to you?" Nagito asked as he looked her up and down, "You just vanished last night". "And cost you the win" added Chris. Nagito nodded, "Yeah,and you cost us th- huh?". The Bass were dumbfounded,except for Ishimaru who put his head in his hands while Chris and Chef grinned. "We had to have our entire team here to win" said Ishimaru, "And because Himiko arrived AFTER the Screaming Gophers it means that after all the suffering and pain we went through,we lost" he explained. Chris grumbled to himself, "Wait to go man,you just stole my thunder of rubbing it in" he snapped, "But yes,the Killer Bass lose. The Screaming Gophers win. Big congrats...not really. Anyway,you all look like death" he giggled, "Lucky for you we hired out some mobile bathrooms so you can all clean up,sleep and go get any injuries patched up" he explained. The Gophers were too tired to even cheer,but the campers thanked Chris and Chef for at the very least helping them get cleaned up. With a promise of some passable breakfast,they all went their separate ways to shower,sleep and eat.

CONFESSIONAL START

Celeste Ludenberg (Killer Bass): Without a doubt that was the worst night of my life.

Miu Iruma (Screaming Gophers): Whew,camping is quite the doozy. I nevvvvvvver wanna do that again.

Gonta Gokuhara (Killer Bass): So much fun! It get kinda scary when everyone fight,but Gonta have much fun with bugs and beavers! Rainy forest remind of old home with wolves in jungle!

Leon Kuwata (Killer Bass): Fingers crossed Keebo ain't too upset with me...he took it as a joke,right?

CONFESSIONAL END

*Bonfire Ceremony*

Later that night,the fires light shone brightly as the semi-beat up and exhausted campers sat around the bonfire. This week,none of them were sure who could be going home. Chris walked up to his podium and took his place with a plate of fluffy white marshmallows. "Killer Bass,welcome back to the elimination bonfire. I can see all of you are hella tired,so I'll just throw you your marshmallows,cool?" he asked. He looked at them, "There are only eight marshmallows on this plate,yet nine of you sit before me. The eight of you that receive a marshmallow will remain here,at Camp Wawanakwa. The lucky loser meanwhile must head straight for the boat of losers and get outta here as their reality tv curtain closes for good" he explained,

"Nagito and Hagakure. You dudes are safe" said Chris,tossing them their marshmallows, "Gonta dude,you also get to stay another day" he said,as he threw a marshmallow.

"Keebo,can't eat a marshmallow but can stay another day" he said,throwing one to Keebo,who had taped and welded back together. Chris tapped his chin to build suspense, "Leon and Ishimaru...you two will also stay" he said.

Mondo,Celeste and Himiko sat on their stumps empty handed. Himiko was nervous,Celeste was uneasy and Mondo was serious. Chris looked at the three, "Mondo,Celeste and Himiko,lotta dirt on you guys. Mondo is on the chopping block for throwing a fit and blacking out one of Celeste's eyes. Celeste is also on the chopping block for antagonising Mondo with her constant jabber. Lastly Himiko,you got lost in the woods all night and cost your team the win" said Chris,as he obnoxiously listed the main reasons for the Killer Bass loss and issues with their team. "The next marshmallow goes to...

...

...

...

...

...

...

Mondo" he said,tossing one to Mondo. Mondo stabbed it with his stick and folded his arms,grunting. "Campers,this is the final edible symbol of safety here tonight. Who will it go to?" he asked.

CONFESSIONAL START

Nagito Komaeda (Killer Bass): Makes sense.

Gonta Gokuhara (Killer Bass): It sorta obvious.

Chris picked it up, "The final marshmallow goes to...

Celeste" he said,handing it out. Celeste and Himiko were astounded with the result. "R-really?" Celeste stammered, "Are you positive that's right?". Chris nodded, "Ayup,there was no foul play here". Celeste was gobsmacked,while Himiko sniffed and looked down. "So that's it?" she sniffed, "I have to go?". Chris nodded once more, "That's just how it is". Himiko removed her hat and stood up,turning to face her now former team, "I'm sorry I wasn't more helpful". Ishimaru saluted, "Was nice serving with you ma'am". "Take care Himiko" said Leon,giving her a peace sign. "Bye bye" said Gonta,shedding a tear and waving one of his giant hands. Himiko tilted her head, "Do you want a hug Gonta?" she asked sweetly. Gonta smiled,standing up and embracing her in his giant arms. She wheezed,but patted him on the back, "*cough* I'll miss *wheeze* you too *cough* Gonta" she replied. Chris tapped his watch, "This is sweet and all,but we got a schedule to keep. Let's wrap it up,eh?" he asked. Gonta smiled,putting her down. Himiko was more happy that people were sad to see her go. "This is the final act of The Amazing Himiko" she said in her stage voice, "Watch as I teleport to the Boat of Losers!" she exclaimed. Throwing a smoke bomb on the ground,she vanished and appeared in the loser boat,waving as she chugged off into the distance.

Eating their marshmallows,the Killer Bass began to roast them over the fire. While they were silent,Celeste was contemplating something in her mind. She couldn't help but occasionally glance at Mondo,who didn't look back. Later that night when everyone was tossing it in for the night,Celeste left her cabin (which was now empty as she was the last Killer Bass girl) and headed for the dock of shame. A lone man was standing there,taking in the salty air of the lake and staring into the horizon. She stood next to him,he wasn't even acknowledging her presence. Minutes passed in silence before she spoke up. "Mondo? Can I say something?" she asked. "What do you want?" he grunted,not even looking at her. Celeste bit her lip. She never apologised to people since she always thought she was in the right. But now the entire team was possibly against her,so it was time to swallow her pride and say it. She took a deep breath and said just two words: "I'm sorry". "Sure it was basic,but it was the thought that counts" Celeste thought to herself. She faced towards the water,her eyes looking up to the left at him. Mondo was still standing and ignoring her. Feeling as if she wasn't getting anywhere,she sighed and began walking away. Halfway up the dock she heard a gruff voice. "Thanks. Let's chalk last night up to stress. Go get some sleep" he grumbled. Not wanting to ruin the moment,Celeste knew it wouldn't be right to say anything. She merely kept walking and returned to the girls cabin. She got changed into her bed clothes and looked up at the ceiling. Unsure of how to even explain the last few days,she did nothing but think.

Sitting inside the main lodge in his dressing gown and boxers,Chris was drinking coffee. He looked at the camera,very tired. "This was certainly the most dramatic bonfire ceremony yet,as well as being a wild camping trip. What will the next challenge be? Have Mondo and Celeste patched things up? And will I be getting sued by Keebo? Find out next time,on Total! Drama! Island!" he announced quietly. "Alright,shut it off and clock out for the day" Chris muttered.

(Coyler's Note: Well this episode was a long time coming,hopefully it was worth it. Sorry that this is the one fic that takes four fucking years just to get one new chapter,I guess I was just getting sidetracked with Total Drama Take 2 and Total Despair Academy. Fingers crossed you guys like this chapter,the Mondo and Celeste interactions are something I wanna keep up. Not sure if I should ship them though,what do you guys think? Also sorry about Himiko being booted. I had fun with her,but she's done in the competition for now. This'll be the last upload of 2021,can't believe the year is coming to an end already. It's as if I blinked and the year was finished. Be sure to favourite,follow and review,I love hearing thoughts,opinions and answering questions. For now,this is the final sign off for 2021. Let's hope 2022 will be an even better year for both my writing and za warudo in general. Heh,had to end on a JoJo reference. Coyler,out!)
