It was a scorching hot day at the lot, everyone was lying around trying to find some shade. Not everyone had elemental magic like me so it was hard to bear the tough heat.
[Everyone was lying in shady spots suffering from the heat. Owen was fanning Justin]
Justin: Can't you fan any faster?
Owen: [panting] You're hot. But I'm hotter. [laughs weakly then faints]
[Meanwhile, Gloria was laying by a tree unaffected by the heat. With Gwen sitting next to her]
Gwen: [Wipes her forehead] Ugh! Stupid heat. [A breeze is blown towards her] Ahhh... [Gloria was the one making the breeze with her nature magic] Thanks, Gloria.
Gloria: No problem.
Gwen: I am so lucky to have friend that knows magic.
Gloria: Don't you mean enemy? [She and Gwen laugh]
[Just then, gunshots were heard, alarming everyone]
Beth: Ahh!
[Harold jumped at the sound hitting his head]
Harold: Ow! My cranium!
[Enter Chris wearing cowboy attire]
Chris: Relax, y'all. They're just blanks. [Puts his guns away] Least I'm pretty sure one of 'em is. [chuckles] [southern accent] Since there's no beatin' the heat, we're goin' west this week. There's a town meetin' at high noon. Be there or I'll drive you deadbeats outta town!
Gloria: Any idea what he's saying?
Lindsay: [gasps] If you're driving us out of town, can we go to the mall?
[At noon, The cast were all at the Western movie set. The humans were still suffering from the heat. Just then, Leshawna walked in with a poofy afro. Heather chuckled]
Leshawna: I'm sorry, do you see something wrong with my hair?
Duncan: [Pokes through Leshawna's hair] Not where I'm standing.
Gloria: Well, I think it looks great.
Leshawna: [Smiles] Wow. You really think so?
Chris: [accent] Listen up, partners. [normal voice] In any good western, there are heroes, outlaws, horses, and pretty dames. The hero defeats the outlaw, then rides off into the sunset on the horse.
Beth: What about the pretty dames?
Chris: None of your beeswax! [chuckles] Just messing with ya! They usually hang out in the saloon during the bar brawl.
Gloria: Bar brawl? You mean while people are fighting? That sounds dangerous.
Chris: Exactly. As dangerous as the first challenge. No cowboy worth spittin' at will go one day without saddle practice. [accent] Time to saddle up! [Points to a a smelly old horse] That's the best steed we could afford?
Chef: You want a five-star hotel and champagne and caviar for breakfast? Hm. I gotta cut somewhere.
Gloria: [walks up to the horse] So all we have to do is get on the horse? That doesn't sound so bad. [Gets on but...]
Chris: Not so fast. You cowboys and cowbabes are gonna have to mount the steed from up there. [Points to the water tower]
Gloria: Up there?!
Chris: No. Up there! [Points to diving board above the water tower]
Gloria: You can't expect us to jump from up there, can you?
Chris: Don't worry. Our unpaid interns have assured us it's safe. Since your team won last week, they go first.
[Gloria and the Grips approach the high dive]
Beth: So who gets to go first?
Justin: Not me. [Puts on glasses and brings out a contract] Says right here, page thirty-seven of my gluteus maximus modeling contract, I am forbidden from any form of jumping that might strain my uh, assets. Heh. Sorry!
Gloria: I guess I'll go first.
[Cut to Gloria high on top of the diving board looking down. She looked down in fear]
Gloria: You can do this, Gloria. Just one small drop from an incredible height with no help from magic whatsoever... [gulps] Okay! I can do this! [Just then, she sees something over the horizon] Huh? [She sees a shiny metal thing towering over the distance, she got so distracted she slipped off the diving board] Woaaaahhh! [She crashes into the fence, everyone gasped]
Gwen: Gloria!
[She rose up from the fence with a dusts and bruises. Her team ran to her aid]
Owen: Are you okay?
Gloria: [groans] I'm fine. [Looks over the horizon]
Duncan: Uh, Gloria?
Gloria: [Turns to her team] Uh, I think I sprained my arm. Where can I go to heal this?
Chris: Infirmary's that way. [Points to the right]
Gloria: Thanks. [Runs off]
[When Gloria was far away from the cast. She flew off to find the source of the metal thing she saw earlier]
Gloria: I know I saw something... [She looks down and sees a giant silver robot with a security camera for a head stomping through the set] What the? [She swoops down to the robot] What is that thing?
[Gloria looked at the marching robot]
Gloria: Uh, excuse me? Who are you.
Robot: [Scans Gloria] PLEASE MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, FAIRY. I HAVE DETECTED HUMANS IN THIS WILD WEST SET AND I MUST DESTROY THEM, THEY ARE A THREAT TO BACKLA. [Passes Gloria and continues to target the humans]
Gloria: Wait! You can't hurt the humans!
B5-X000: I MUST. IT IS MY PRIME DIRECTIVE. I AM THE B5X-000. I PROTECT THE KINGDOM OF BACKLA OF HUMAN THREATS.
Gloria: But these humans are not threats. They're my friends.
B5-X000: DOES NOT COMPUTE. HUMANS ARE FRIENDS?
Gloria: Yes. Well, not Heather or Chris, but the rest of them are! And I will not let you hurt them!
B5-X000: THEN YOU MUST BE DESTROYED!
Gloria: [Gulps] Uh, can't we talk about this? [The robot summoned a giant missile launcher from it back] Meep…
[Gloria flies away from the missile as it blows up a fake building. Meanwhile, the challenge continues. Just then, the Grips heard a booming sound]
Owen: Anyone else just hear that boom?
Beth: Yeah, like something exploded. Did something explode?
Justin: Probably just Chris spooking us with special effects. It's nothing.
[Harold jumps off the platform and lands right on the horse]
Harold: Yes! [Duncan lands on him] AAUGH!
Chris: Way to pad the saddle, Duncan!
Harold: I think you broke my coccyx!
Chris: Gaffers two, Grips one.
[Meanwhile, Gloria was still fighting the security system. It started firing lasers from it's camera lens eye on top of the missiles. Gloria swoops and swerves past each blast]
Gloria: I got to find a way to shut this thing off! [She sees a red button on it's back] Maybe that'll work. But I got to distract it, and I know how. [She performed her invisibility spell]
B5-X000: WHAT? WHERE DID THE FAIRY GO? [While the robot looked around for Gloria. She reappeared and snuck up behind it and presses the red button on it's back] EXTREME TERMINATION MODE HAS BEEN ACTIVATED!
Gloria: Say what now?
[The robot glowed red eyes and transformed into a bigger and deadlier robot. It's hands turned into sawblades, it's shoulders turned into machine guns, spikes opened up on the feet, and more weapons came out of it's body. Gloria gulped as the robot turned and aimed it's weapons at her. But just as the robot began shooting, something swooped down and save Gloria.]
[Gloria kept her eyes shut thinking the robot got her but when she opened her eyes she saw that she was in Marcel's arms. She was smitten]
Marcel: Gloria? Are you okay.
Gloria: [Snaps out of it] Oh, yeah, I'm fine.
[Marcel landed at a nearby building prop, Gloria gets off him]
Gloria: Thanks for saving me.
Marcel: I heard huge explosions and thought you could use some help.
Gloria: Yes please! How do I stop that thing? [Points the B5-X000 destroying the set]
Marcel: Woah! That's a problem. What happened?
Gloria: That thing was about to kill the humans. I tried to stop it, but I think I made it mad.
Marcel: You've activated the B5-X000's extreme termination mode. It is only to be activated in case the humans have tough defenses. There's a manual shut off inside the robot's head, that should stop it. I'll distract it, while you get to that button.
Gloria: Got it!
[The two fairies split up and Marcel flew in front of the robot]
Marcel: Hey, you dumb robot. I love humans too! Fight me!
N5-X000: ANOTHER HUMAN LOVING FAIRY? UNACCEPTABLE! MUST DESTROY! [It's right arm forms a hammer and starts to smash around while Marcel dodges it's attacks]
[While the robot was distracted, Gloria flew up to the robot's head]
Gloria: How do I get inside? [Sees a hatch on back of the robot's head] Aha! [She goes to the back and opens the hatch to find a button] Please don't activate an even more extreme termination mode... [She presses the button and the robot stopped attacking]
B5-X000: SHUTTING DOWN... [Turns off and falls down. Marcel was able to get out of the way as the robot crashes on the ground]
Gloria: [Flies down to Marcel] Thanks for the help. So what are you going to do with this?
Marcel: I'm going to take it back to the hideout for some reprogramming. Perhaps dial back on the hostility against humans.
Gloria: That reminds me. I better get back to the challenge.
[Gloria returned to the challenge to notice that the cast is looking up]
Gloria: Hey, guys. I'm back. My arm healed up quickly so I'm ready to compete again. [Sees that everyone was distracted] What are we looking at?
Duncan: [Points upward] That.
[Gloria sees Leshawna and Heather hanging on the weathervane on the top of the barn]
Gloria: Oh my.
Leshwana: [hears a ripping sound] Uh oh... [Her pants rip off and she fell out of the barn. She quickly got an idea and goes head first and uses her afro to break her fall. She bounces upward and lands on her feet] Ha, bet you're not laughing at my hair now! [She looks at the ripped part of her pants showing her underwear. She covers it in embarassment]
Chris: Well you sure showed her, and by her I mean the entire viewing audience! [Leshawna growls at him] Okay, okay. No need to get my dungaress all dusty. Looks like the Grips win this challenge. Let's mosey on the second challenge.
[The cast moves on, leaving Heather on top of the barn]
Heather: Somebody better get me down now! Hello? Anyone?
[Later, the cast was in another part of the western set]
Chris: The hallmark of any good western is the quick-draw cowboy showdown. Captains will pick their strongest cowpoke to compete in what will likely be a fight to the death! Haha! [His phone rings and he answers it] Yello? Uh-huh. I see. Fine. [Hangs up] Our lawyers have informed me that you may shoot until someone is mildly injured or cries like a little baby. But a fight to the death is strictly prohibited. Time to pick your cowboys.
Gloria: Duncan, wanna take this one?
Duncan: Gladly, Purple.
Gloria: The Grips choose Duncan.
Gwen: We choose Leshawna.
Chris: Then let's get this showdown started! [Owen was seen drinking the water from the squirt guns] Owen! We needed that water for the quick-draw cowboy showdown!
Chef: Don't look at me! I ain't lugging any more water in this heat.
Owen: [burps] Sorry, I was thirsty.
Chris: Okay, new challenge!
[Meanwhile, Gloria's map started beeping again. She looked at it and saw a bunch of red dots circled in one center.]
Gloria: What the...
Lindsay: [From behind her] What's that?
Gloria: [Startled, hides the map] Uh... [feigns] Ow! My arm.
Duncan: Didn't you say your arm was healed?
Gloria: Uh, It's starting to act up again. I gotta go back to the infirmary. [Quickly leaves] Dothechallengewithoutmebye!
[The grips looked on in suspicion]
Duncan: Okay, something's definitely up.
Beth: Now that you mention it, it's kinda weird how she's competing on this show after what happened to her.
Owen: Maybe deep down she actually likes being on Total Drama.
[There was silence for a few seconds before everyone started laughing]
Duncan: [Wipes a tear] Good one, Owen. But seriously, there's got to be an actual reason.
[Meanwhile, Gloria and Marcel were surrounded by B5-X000 robots]
Gloria: There's more of them!?
Marcel: We have a lot of security around the studio.
[The robots set all their lasers at the fairies. Gloria and Marcel flew away quickly and the robots stared shooting]
Marcel: There's no way we can shut all of them down. There's got to be a way to take them all down at once!
Gloria: But how do we do that?
[Suddenly, they were hit by a giant flyswatter that sent the fairies hutling into a water trough. They emerged from the water completely soaked, and that's when Marcel got an idea]
Marcel: Gloria, I got an idea. Human technology goes haywire when they touch water.
Gloria: So if we hit the robots with water... that will make them stop?
Marcel: Bingo.
[The B5-X000 robots were scanning for the fairies thinking they are a threat]
Gloria: [Offscreen] Hey! [The robots turn to see her and Marcel on top of a fake building] Looking for us?
B5-X000 #1: HUMAN LOVING FAIRIES! ATTACK!
[Two robots shot at the fairies but they quickly dodged the blast. And while the robots were confused, Gloria and Marcel flew from behind and formed water balls from the water from the trough and threw them at the robots shorting them out.]
B5-X000 #2: STOP THEM!
[The robots began to attack and the fairies tosses their water balls at them. Shorting out each one, one robot swung an axe at Marcel but he flew upward and splashed water on it's head. It shorted out and swung the axe at itself chopping it's head off. Gloria dodged one robot's punch and while it was confused, she came in from behind and splashed it. The robots surrounded Gloria and Marcel they looked at each other confidently before they started lauching water at the robots. One by one they took them out until there was one left, it cornered the fairies]
B5-X000 #3: NO WHERE TO RUN, FAIRIES! AND YOU'RE OUT OF WATER.
Gloria: Are we? [She points upward and the robot sees a giant glob of water above it]
B5-X000 #3: OH, SCRAP... [With a flick of a finger, Gloria set the water down on it and it shorted out before falling to the ground]
Marcel: [Sighs in relief] Thank dust that's over.
Gloria: You can say that again. [Blushed] I guess we helped each other out, huh?
Marcel: Yeah, we did. You're human friends should be safe fo now. We've cleared out all the security from the wild west set.
Gloria: Speaking of which, I better get back. [She leaves]
[Gloria made it back to the cast. She landed only to get roped]
Gloria: Guh!
[Turn to see that Heather was the one who roped her]
Heather: Gotcha, purple!
Gloria: Oh, dust…
[Meanwhile, Harold corners on Justin]
Justin: No! Not the face! Or the neck, hands, feet, legs, knees, or anything in the chestal region. [Goes into a fetal position and Harold ropes him]
Harold: Gotcha. That was too easy.
[Leshawna also ropes Justin from behind]
Leshawna: Hi, sugar baby.
Chris: Well, what do we have here? The cattle have roped the cowboys. A bit unexpected, but what the heck. The Gaffers win!
[The Gaffers cheered]
Chris: You Grips are losers. And you know what happens to losers? Which Grip wants to take the heat? [Grabs a branding iron out of the fire]
Gloria: Uh… we're good…
[Just then, Chris gets another call]
Chris: [Answers the phone] Yeah? Hm. Okay. [Hangs up] Legal says branding's out. [Puts the branding iron in the water trough] Guess I have to settle for booting one of the Grips off in the most exciting Gilded Chris ceremony ever! Now, go shower. You stink. P.U.!
[The Gaffers leave]
Justin: After this challenge, I need a full shower.
[Gloria struggled to get out of the rope]
Gloria: [Gets out of the rope] Yes! [Just then, Duncan, Owen, Izzy, Lindsay, and Beth approached and they did not look happy] Uh, hey guys. My arm's all better.
Duncan: Stow it, purple. You've got some explaining to do.
Gloria: Explain? What's there to explain?
Duncan: How about you keep flaking out on the challenge?
Gloria: Well, I told you that my arm was injured.
Duncan: Twice?
Gloria: Uh…
Beth: Come on, Gloria. Whatever's going on, you can tell us. We're your friends.
Gloria: You don't understand, this is bigger than you.
Owen: Come on, Gloria. You decided to return to the show after Chris nearly killed you. There's got to be another reason you'd even want to come back.
Gloria: [sighs in defeat] Okay, I'll tell you. Meet me after the elimination ceremony…
Later that night, we went through an elimination ceremony, we decided that Justin had to go. After that, I took my team to the film lot.
[They were outside the film lot near a warehouse]
Duncan: Alright, Tinkerbell are you gonna tell us what's going on or not?
Gloria: Okay. There's someone I want you to meet.
[The warehouse door opens revealing Marcel. Everyone was surprised to see another fairy]
Owen: Is that another fairy?
Lindsay: [Smitten] He's handsome.
Beth: [Smitten] Yeah.
Marcel: So, you're the human friends Gloria told me about.
[Beth and Lindsay rush over to him]
Lindsay: [Blushes] I'm Lindsay.
Beth: [Blushes] I'm Beth.
[Gloria felt a little jealous and got between them]
Gloria: Okay. He got it.
Marcel: I am Marcel. Leader of Backla.
Duncan: Backla? What's he talking about?
Gloria: [sighs] Guys, the truth as to why I came back to Total Drama is that there is a hidden fairy kingdom in this movie studio. [She opens the warehouse door and revealed a fairy tech lab]
[The Grips excluding Izzy gasped in shock]
Izzy: Wait you guys didn't already know? I figured this out like a week ago! Sheesh! Try to keep up, guys!
Marcel: Wait, she already knows?
Gloria: She and the monster went on a date. [Marcel was confused by what she meant]
Lindsay: Marcel made all this? Wow, handsome and smart.
Marcel: Yes. Our kind is capable of blending magic with human technology. And if MaClean discovers that he will exploit us and capture us all.
Gloria: That's why I'm here. To protect this kingdom from Chris' malice.
[The campers looked on in concern]
Duncan: Man, I never realized.
Gloria: I made a vow that no fairy will suffer at the hands of that man. No fairy should deserve to be captured and have it's magic exploited. I will do everything in my power to keep these fairies safe.
Beth: We can help.
Gloria: You guys really do that?
Duncan: I don't know much about you fairies. But if we're sticking it to MacClean, I'm all in.
Gloria: [Smiles] Thanks guys.
Marcel: Well, you better get some rest. I'll fill you in tomorrow. Now if you excuse me, I need to get back to fixing these security robots. [blasting noises were heard, he turns to see the robot has gone haywire shooting it's weapons and Izzy was on top it's head]
Izzy: Wahoo! These robots are awesome! Can I have one?
Owen: Izzy! Get off of there! You don't know what it's capable of! [A laser shot near his foot making him jump] Aah!
B5-X000: DESTROY HUMANS! DESTROY HUMANS!
[The robot chased after the Grips as the ran for their lives. Marcel deadpanned at this while Gloria smiled sheepishly]
Gloria: [Sheepish] They're really not bad once you get to know them... [Flies over to stop the robot]
Marcel: This is going to be long season...
