Author's Note:

Another day, another life-threatening challenge for our brave/stupid cast of teens. Let's dive right in after the usual review answering and giving credit where credit is due.

Dunsparce519: Charlie was always going to be a threat to everyone else's chances of winning, so it made sense that he had to go. Especially with people like Hunter looking to make some power plays.

Fantasy Lord 77: I also am not excited for this new cast. For the moment, they seem basic and uninteresting. Hopefully when they release more info on the new season they'll have information that will pique my interest. But we'll just have to wait and see.

EPISODE TWENTY-ONE: HILLTOP SMACKDOWN

This episode of Total Drama contains scenes of extreme stunts performed by animated teens. Do not try anything you see here at home. Seriously, you could get really messed up.


Chris stood in front of Chef's restaurant. "Last time on Total Drama," he began, "The teams were officially merged, and it was every camper for themselves (clip of the teams merging). In the challenge, the campers were set to run all across a giant platform (clip of the campers running) with some very shocking consequences when they fell off (clip of Sara falling off and getting electrocuted). Logan and Clover decided to team up to investigate Rita (clip of Logan and Clover teaming up), and their new relationship severely confused Alex (clip of Logan and Alex talking). Todd proved that he's more daring than we thought when he got himself and Charlie eliminated from the challenge (clip of Todd tackling Charlie). Hunter went into super rage mode (clip of Hunter pushing Nigel off the platform) to do his best to win the challenge (clip of Hunter throwing Logan off), but ultimate victory went to Clover, who pulled off a very painful move (clip of Clover kicking Hunter in the kiwis) to win the challenge. And thanks to some smart words from Hunter, it was goodbye Charlie (clip of Charlie's elimination)."

The scene returned to Chris. "Only twelve campers remain. Who's next to be thrown under the bus? Find out right here on Total! Drama! City!"


*Intro*

(As the intro music begins to play, cameras are seen popping out of a skyscraper window, a manhole, a streetlamp, and a trashcan. The clapper claps.)

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doing fine

(Chris is seen driving by in a sports car as the camera goes down a runway)

You guys are on my mind

(the camera pans into a building and off a diving board into an indoor swimming pool)

You asked me what I wanted to be, now I think the answer's plain to see

(In the water, Sarah is swimming gracefully as spikes are shooting past her. The camera pans to the surface, where Jared is sitting in a rubber raft with Maeve. The spikes puncture the raft and the two begin to sink. The camera quickly moves outside, where Otis and Tara are working on a generator together.)

I wanna be famous

(The camera pans over to the side, where Todd and Rita are working on an experiment. Todd pours a liquid into a beaker, which explodes and coats both him and Rita in ash, while Yves watches disapprovingly from a shadowy room in a nearby building)

I wanna live close to the sun

(Harmony is seen in a park meditating, unaware of Zander performing a magic trick right in front of her, though his trick is interrupted when a raccoon jumps out of his magic had and latches onto his face)

Well pack your bags cause I've already won

(Charlie and Lana are side by side practicing the same ninja fighting moves as William and Nicole kiss next to them)

Everything to prove nothing in my way

(Malik is running at top speed away from a flamethrower wielding Deedee. As he is running, he is caught in a trap that yanks him up to the top of a small building, where Hunter is waiting with a knife. Kaia stands disapprovingly behind him)

I'll get there one day

(The scene pans into a kitchen, where Logan is photographing a pot of mysterious food. Clover appears behind him, shocking him, but Chef then appears behind Clover and chases the two out of the kitchen)

Cause I wanna be famous

(At a table just outside the kitchen, Theresa is focused on her writing while Tim is next to her typing on a laptop. A spotlight drops on the table, causing both to jump in surprise)

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

(In an alley, Hannah battles back against Sara, who is trying to pummel here with fists covered with boxing gloves)

I wanna be. I wanna be. I wanna be famous.

(On a street, Desmond and Moira are both in go karts, trying to knock each other off the road. Alex skates in between them both while Lance tries to catch up to her on a motorcycle)

I wanna be. I wanna be. I wanna be famous.

(The scene pans to a stage, where Sonya is playing her electric guitar and singing along to the lyrics into a microphone. The scene pans back to show it was on a monitor)

*whistling the main theme*

(The scene pans down, where Nigel is seen showing a clearly impressed Erin a collection of watches under his jacket. The scene zooms out to show the rest of the cast, with Chris off to the side. Sonya plays the last guitar rift of the theme song on her electric guitar)


As the sun rose on another day, Todd walked into Rita's lab, stopping just inside the door. "Do you do anything but experiment these days?" he asked as he watched Sonya, wearing a glazed look on her face, did pull ups in the corner.

"I'm a scientist, Todd," Rita answered. "Experiment is all I do."

"Just how many experiments did you bring here?"

"Plenty." Rita approached him as she spoke. "Enough to keep me busy for a while."

"But why all the focus on—"

"Hold that thought." Rita examined Todd closely. Then she reached out and plucked something small from his shoulder.

"What's that?" he asked.

Rita examined it closely. "A listening bug. Someone's trying to listen in." She closed her fist, crushing the bug instantly. "Clover."


CONFESSIONAL

"The spy is starting to get nosy," Rita said. "But she has nothing on me. By the time any of them realize what I'm doing, my work will be complete, and the million dollars will be mine."

END CONFESSIONAL


In the Hotel, Clover slammed her fist in frustration. "She found the bug."

"It was a good try," Logan told her. "But we both knew it probably wasn't going to be that easy."

"Oh, really?"

"Come on, did you see what I had to go through to prove how evil Kaia was last season?"

"Fair enough."

"Look, the only way we're going to be able to get any sort of dirt on Rita is if we somehow get access to the cameras down there," Logan told her. "But Rita and Todd always keep that door locked tight, and I can't find any other way in."

"So…what, we have to just wait for them to make a mistake?" Clover asked.

"Or look for evidence outside the lab," Logan added. "I'm combing through footage caught since I started monitoring the cameras, but there's hours of footage from every single camera around the city. It's going to take time. Time that we may not have if one or both of us gets eliminated."

"We'll just have to keep winning challenges then," Clover decided.

"Or make alliances with others," Logan suggested. "I'm already friends with Alex and Moira; they're not liable to vote for me anytime soon. And Lance will just vote for whoever Alex is voting for to prove his love for his 'fair lady.'"

"No. We keep this between us," Clover insisted, standing up. "The fewer people know about our investigation, the better."


CONFESSIONAL

"Yeah, I know we're going to be telling everyone everything when we expose Rita," Clover admitted. "But if we tell people right now, the news will get back to Rita, and then she'll cover everything up. If we keep this between ourselves, she shouldn't find out until it's too late."

END CONFESSIONAL


At Chef's Restaurant, most of the rest of the cast was gathered, attempting to eat Chef's latest creation.

"What exactly is this?" Alex asked, holding the soggy, sticky piece of sausage patty in front of her like it was poison.

"It's breakfast," Chef grunted.

"It feels like cardboard coated with honey."

"Good, then it came out right."

Alex winced and walked away from the big man, sitting at a table with Sara. "At least no one gains weight on this stupid show," she grumbled.

"No kidding," Sara agreed, pushing her plate aside. "How does anyone not get poisoned by this garbage?"

"That's one of the mysteries of life," Alex said. "One that I, for one, hope I never get to see solved first hand."

Sara chuckled. "You and me both."


CONFESSIONAL

"Alex is pretty cool," Sara admitted. "Tough, street-smart, and someone that you can rely upon. I can see why she placed 3rd last season."

END CONFESSIONAL


Sara looked around at the others before lowering her voice. "So, seeing as there's no more teams, people are going to be flocking together in alliances pretty soon. What do you say to you and me forming one?"

Alex raised an eyebrow. "Really?"

"Come on, we're both strong competitors, and together, we can make it to the end."

"I've heard that before."

"Is that a no?"

"No, it's just a statement that I've heard that thinking before." Alex paused. "But what the heck? Let's give it a shot."

The two shook hands to seal the deal as the loudspeaker screeched. "Morning campers!" Chris boomed. "Report to the park for your daily dose of potentially fatal injuries! Itttttt's challenge time!"


Hunter was walking by himself to the park when Lance stopped him. "Halt, oafish brute!"

Hunter clenched his fists. "What did you call me?"

"What he means," Nigel said, appearing behind Lance. "Is that we need to talk."

"About?"

"Just get in here, Hunter."

Hunter narrowed his eyes, but follow the two into the nearby building, where Logan and Todd were also waiting. "What's this about, Nigel?" Todd asked.

"Listen up, boys," Nigel began. "In case you haven't noticed, there are seven girls left in the city, and five of us guys. It won't be long before they figure it out and gang up on us."

"Are you saying you want to make a Guy's Alliance?" Logan asked.

Nigel nodded. "It's the only way we survive."

Hunter snorted. "What makes you think I need any of you?"

"Because, as you obviously proved in the last challenge, you can still lose," Nigel reminded him. "And since you're universally hated by everyone here, what are your chances of surviving another elimination?"

Hunter glowered, but didn't move away from where he was staying.

"Look, I know none of us particularly like each other," Nigel went on. "But look around you. We have, in this room, the strongest camper, smartest, and most determined campers left in the game. If we band together, we can easily dominate this game and make it to the final five."

"And then?" Logan asked.

"Then it's everyone for themselves. But the only way we all make it to that point is if we work together." Nigel looked around the room. "So, are we in agreement?"

Logan shrugged. "Sure, I guess."

"Aye. I'm in too," Lance answered.

"I guess it wouldn't hurt," Todd said. The other boys all turned to look at Hunter.

"Fine," Hunter grumbled. "I'm in too."

"Excellent," Nigel said. "Then let's get out there and win this challenge."


CONFESSIONAL

"It's a calculated risk making an alliance," Nigel admitted. "I mean, most of those guys wouldn't betray anyone. But Hunter? He'd betray anyone to get ahead. But when gambling or running a con, you have to take risks."

END CONFESSIONAL


CONFESSIONAL

"Yeah, I joined the con man's alliance," Hunter admitted. "He made some good points. I at least need to stick in the alliance long enough for everyone to let their guard down. And then I'll strike!" He slammed a fist into a palm as he spoke. "The patient hunter always gets his prey."

END CONFESSIONAL


"Welcome to your next challenge," Chris began once the campers have arrived. Behind him was a giant hill. "The classic playground game of King of the Hill."

"Seriously? That's the best you could come up with?" Hunter asked with a scoff.

"It was either that or digging in a sand pit filled with land mines," Chris answered, annoyed. "Now shush." His expression went back to happy. "For this challenge, everyone will be competing to take control of this hill behind me. The person that's at the top of the hill at the end of the challenge wins."

"How long will that be?" Maeve asked.

"Oh, trust me, you'll know when the game ends." Chris chuckled evilly.

"Typical," Alex muttered.

"Are we going hand to hand?" Rita asked.

"You could," Chris answered. "But because that'd get boring really fast, I'm providing you some special weapons to add to your pain and my enjoyment." Chef drove in on his jeep, dropping off a large crate, which popped open a revealed a rack of what appeared to be water guns.

"Ooo, water pistols, I'm so scared," Todd mocked.

"Why don't you demonstrate, Chef?" Chris advised.

Chef picked up a water pistol, grinning savagely. He pumped it up and then shot a torrent of water at the cast, knocking them all over and soaking them to the bone.

"These will be your weapons," Chris explained. "Except for Clover."

"Huh?" Clover asked, spitting out a stream of water that had gotten into her mouth.

"Because Clover won the last challenge, she gets an extra special weapon. Chef?"

Chef, looking not as happy as before, pulled out his meatball cannon and tossed it to Clover, who caught it with surprise.

"Seriously? I get to use the meatball cannon? Awesome!"


CONFESSIONAL

Clover sat in the confessional with the meatball cannon. "I've always wanted to use this thing," she said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."

END CONFESSIONAL


A few minutes later, the campers were situated around the bottom of the hill, each armed with one of the water pistols. "Ready?" Chris blew his airhorn. "Go!"

All twelve campers began running up the hill. Nigel initially ran up, then turned around to shoot his water pistol at an approaching Clover. She slid under the blast and fired the meatball cannon at him. This shot hit Nigel, knocking him aside.

"Sorry, Nigel!" Clover called as she ran past him. "But I've got to get invincibility again. No hard feelings—"

The ground under her exploded, sending her flying off the hill.

Chris laughed through his megaphone. "Did I forget to mention the landmines all over the hill? My bad!"


On the other side of the hill, Alex and Sara were moving side by side, water pistols raised. "Any sign of anyone?" Alex asked.

"Nothing so far," Sara replied.

"Let's hurry up so we can get to the top first. I have a feeling this is going to be a long challenge." As she spoke, a hole opened up in the hill and sprayed her in the face with water.

"Oh yeah," Chris called again, "Did I also forget to mention the water hoses also set up in the hill? My bad!"


CONFESSIONAL

"I really hate him," Alex grumbled.

END CONFESSIONAL


Nigel was almost to the top when Hunter grabbed him from behind and pulled him closer. "Here's the deal, con man," he said. "I'll hold the hill. You tell the others to give me cover."

"Why should you be the one at the top?" Nigel countered.

"Because I'm the strongest person in the alliance. If they get past you, you want someone that can hold his own."

Nigel had to admit that he couldn't argue with that logic. "Fine. Go. If I see the others, I'll pass the message along."

"Whatever." Hunter let him go. "Just make sure you do your job."

A gong suddenly sounded. "Sonya has made it to the top!" Chris announced. "Better get up there and knock her off if you want to win!"


Sonya was at the top of the hill, gently strumming her guitar as she waited for people to try to take the hill from her. Her water pistol was on the ground next to her.

Hunter slowly crept up the hill, taking aim at Sonya. "Easy prey," he said to himself.

"No kidding," Sara said right behind him. Hunter startled, rolling over to see her and Alex behind him. He tried to bring his water pistol around, but Sara kicked it out of his hands before knocking him down the hill. As he rolled, he hit several landmines, which only served to further his pain. He finally landed at the bottom of the hill, groaning in pain.

Over from his chair, Chris winced. "Ooo, that's going to leave a mark." He looked back at the camera. "Will Sonya keep her lead, or will Hunter claw his way back to the top? Find out when we come back."


"And Sara and Alex have entered the top of the hill!" Chris announced as Alex and Sara stepped up to the top.

"I'll take care of Sonya," Sara said.

"No, wait." Alex stopped her. "Sonya, want to join up in an alliance with us?"

Sonya shrugged. "Cool with me."

"Are you sure about this?" Sara asked.

"Come on, it's Sonya," Alex insisted. "She's cool. And unpredictable. She'll be a great asset to the alliance."

Little did the three girls realize that Rita was in the bushes, hearing every word.


CONFESSIONAL

"So, an alliance between Alex, Sara, and Sonya?" Rita chuckled. "The alliances are building up faster than I thought. I guess it's time to start eliminating the people that are most likely to ruin my plans."

END CONFESSIONAL


"Smooth move, Hunter," Nigel commented as an ashen Hunter returned up the hill.

"Shut up," Hunter growled.

"Gentlemen, I bring news!" Lance called as he came down the hill. "It appears the hill is now occupied by three of our opponents."

"Well, that's just great," Hunter complained. "Why didn't you try to attack the hill in some gallant charge?"

Lance looked surprised. "Because my lady Alex was up there!"

"Oh, for the love of—" Hunter strode forward, picking Lance up. "That's it. I'm done playing around."


CONFESSIONAL

"I thought he never played around in the first place," Lance said."

END CONFESSIONAL


Maeve was making her way up the hill when Rita's voice called out, "Enjoying yourself, Maeve?"

Maeve turned around and fired her water pistol, spraying Rita with a torrent of water that knocked the scientist off her feet. She landed in the bushes with a loud thud.

Moira let out a snort of laughter as she also appeared. "Nice shot, lass."

Maeve turned around, ready to blast again. "Woah, truce," Moira quickly said. "Neither one of us are up top. No need to attack each other, right?"

Maeve slowly lowered her pistol. "I guess you're right."

"Good that. Now, let's try to get up that hill."

As the two girls started back up, Rita picked herself up from the bushes, smirking slightly.


CONFESSIONAL

"So it begins," Rita said.

END CONFESSIONAL


"Hear that?" Alex asked. Sara listened closely and heard the sound of running footsteps.

"Yeah," she agreed. "Someone's coming. My guess is Hunter."

Sonya slung her guitar over her shoulder. "Let's rock and roll."

Sara cracked her knuckles. "I'm ready for him."


CONFESSIONAL

"I took some MMA classes a while back," Sara said. "So I know how to throw down. Whoever comes up that hill is going to be sent back down even faster than they came up."

END CONFESSIONAL


The bushes rustled at the side. The three girls got ready, raising their water pistols to the bush. But to their surprise, instead of someone running out, someone was thrown out. And that someone was Lance.

"What the—" Alex was cut off as Lance smashed into her, knocking them both to the ground.

"Alex!" Sara was momentarily distracted, allowing Hunter to jump out of the bushes and shoot his water pistol at her. The torrent of water knocked her clean off her feet and sent her tumbling off the top.

"Rock and roll!" Sonya fired her own water pistol, but Nigel, climbing up from the other side, managed to shoot her with his own, which also knocked her off the top.

"Finish her off, Lance!" Nigel cried as Lance crawled off Alex. Lance grabbed his water pistol and took aim, but hesitated.

"Come on, dude!" Nigel yelled. "Shoot her!"

Lance slowly lowered his pistol. "No. I will not harm my lady."

Alex smirked and snatched the pistol from Lance. "Your loss—" Her words were cut off as Hunter blasted her, knocking her down the hill as well.

"That's how it's done, knight boy," Hunter told Lance. "Man up and shoot her next time."


CONFESSIONAL

"No," Lance insisted. "I will not go against my morals. I will not harm my lady under any circumstances."

END CONFESSIONAL


"This just in!" Chris announced as Moira and Maeve worked to climb up the hill. "Hunter, Lance, and Nigel now have control of the top. Better get your butts moving if you want to have a shot at invincibility!"

"Hunter getting invincibility?" Moira shook her head. "That'd be disastrous."

A faint cry came from above. Seconds later, Alex landed in a heap in front of them. "Dang it!" she complained.

"Oy, lass, what happened?" Moira questioned, helping the skater girl to her feet.

"Hunter happened." Alex clenched her jaw. "We got to get him off the top. If we can make him lose, then everyone can team up and vote him out."

"Aye, sounds like a plan to me," Moira agreed. "What about you, lass?"

"Yeah, it's probably for the best," Maeve said. "Hunter's the strongest player here. Once he goes, it's anyone's game."

"Then let's get up there." Moira led the way up, with Maeve close behind. Alex, however, stared briefly at Maeve before following.


CONFESSIONAL

Alex was tapping her finger to her chin. "I don't want to say anything out loud," she said. "But something about Maeve seems…off. Like I've seen her before. I just can't put my finger on it."

END CONFESSIONAL


Clover was making her way back up the hill when she spotted Todd. Grinning, she knelt down and took aim with the meatball cannon. "Gotcha now," she said.

That was when an explosion from another land mine knocked her off her feet. "Seriously!" she complained as she got back up. But Todd was already long gone.


"Which way do you think they'll come from?" Nigel asked.

"They could come from anywhere," Lance replied. "But we will be waiting for them. And then we shall take glorious victory!"

"Dude, seriously—you gotta kill it with the knight talk," Nigel advised.

A flash of movement suddenly caught Nigel's eye. Without hesitation, he turned around and shot at the figure approaching.

Todd screamed. "Wait! It's me—achkblublbublub." He was cut off as Nigel's water blast hit him right in the face.


CONFESSIONAL

"So I don't look before I spray," Nigel said. "Big deal."

END CONFESSIONAL


On the other side of the hill, Moira, Maeve, and Alex watched the boys on the top. "Great, now there's more of them," Maeve said.

"We can take em," Alex insisted. "The only one we have to worry about is Hunter. Everyone else can easily go down."

"Isn't it odd that they're not attacking each other?" Moira asked.

"They probably made some sort of alliance or something. It doesn't matter. We just got to get them out. Chris will be calling game over any minute now."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Maeve asked.

"An opening," Alex replied.

"Like what?"

A loud BOOM echoed from the other side of the hill, and a giant meatball soared through the air, hitting Lance and knocking him off his feet. Moments later, Clover appeared, armed with her meatball cannon. "Get off my hill!" she yelled.

"Something like that. Let's go!" Alex stood up and charged the boys, Moira and Maeve close behind.


Hunter growled in frustration as the hill turned into complete chaos. "Once again, I have to do everything myself."

Someone suddenly shoved him from behind, forcing him to the ground. "Oh yeah!" Sonya cheered as she and Sara arrived. "Round two, baby!"

Hunter grabbed his water pistol and fired a stream of water, but the two girls jumped out of the way. "Fine then," he said. "Let the hunt begin." He began to chase the girls off, firing more from his water pistol.

Meanwhile, Nigel was getting shot at by Alex when his foot hit something metal. "What the—" He knelt down and brushed away the dirt, revealing a metal plate underneath. "Uh oh."

He grabbed his water pistol and sprayed the ground, revealing more metal. Eventually, he found a red countdown timer that already was down to five seconds.

"You have got to be kidding," he groaned as the timer hit zero and the entire top of the hill exploded.


Chris laughed out loud before looking at the camera. "We had a few explosives left over from building the rest of the challenges this season, and I hate to waste."

When the smoke cleared, all the campers were lying in various states of pain all over what was left of the hill. Notably, on what was the top of the hill, holding onto the edge with one hand, was Hunter.

"And we have our winner!" Chris announced. "Hunter wins invincibility!"

"Yes!" Hunter cheered before the ground under his hand crumbled and fell, landing hard on the ground. "Ow!"

"So, Hunter?" Chris said. "Who're you taking with you to the Hotel?"

Hunter snorted. "Are you kidding? No one's coming in with me."

"Surprising no one," Alex muttered under her breath.

"All righty then," Chris said cheerfully. "As for the rest of you, get to voting. Someone's got a date with a subway car."


"Are you happy now?" Nigel asked Hunter. "You have your invincibility."

"Obviously," Hunter grunted.

The door to the building the boys were meeting in opened, and Logan finally arrived. "Where have you been?" Nigel asked him. "I didn't see you the entire challenge."

"Nowhere," Logan replied, sitting down. "So, who are we voting off tonight?"

"Hunter believes it's wise to vote off Sara," Lance answered.

"Sara?" Logan repeated. "Why her?"

"Because she kicked his butt at the start of the challenge," Todd answered with a smile. "He wants revenge."

"I think it's a bad idea," Nigel said. "I saw we get rid of Clover."

"Clover? No—bad idea," Logan said quickly.

"Really? I thought you hated her," Todd noted suspiciously.

"Well—"

"It's gotta be Alex," Todd insisted.

"Never!" Lance roared. "I'll never eliminate her!"

"Dude, you gotta get your head out of your armored butt," Nigel told him. "At some point, you gotta vote her off, or she's going to vote you off."

"No." Lance stayed firm. "I won't vote for her."

"Well then, who do you think we should vote for?" Nigel asked.

Lance thought about it for a moment. "I think Sonya."

"Sonya?" Logan repeated.

"Yes. She's a strong competitor that everyone is highly underestimating."

"That's baloney," Hunter told him.

"Well, what's it going to be?" Nigel asked. "We have to come up with a unanimous decision if we want to even have a shot at getting what we want done."

"Even though it's still only five votes against potentially seven?" Logan asked.

"Just leave that to me," Todd said.


"A Guy's Alliance?" Rita repeated.

"Yep," Todd said. "And we need your vote."

"My vote?"

"Don't worry," Todd assured her, "You weren't even mentioned as a potential threat. We have someone else in mind." He leaned in and whispered a name into her ear.


CONFESSIONAL

"Interesting choice," Rita mused. "I was going to take care of her eventually…but now's as good of time as any."

END CONFESSIONAL


As night fell, the remaining campers waited in the subway station. Chris soon arrived with the tickets. "Campers," he began. "I have only eleven tickets left here. When I call your name, come up and claim your ticket. The—"

"We know the drill, McLean," Alex interrupted. "Get it over with."

Chris frowned. "Fine. Whatever. Ruin the moment, why don't you." He started passing the tickets out. "Hunter, Lance, and Logan are all safe. Also safe are Todd, Nigel, Maeve, Rita, and Moira."

Chris held up his final three tickets. "I only have three tickets left," he said to the remaining campers—Sara, Sonya, Alex, and Clover. "The next ticket goes to…Clover." Clover sighed with relief as she got her ticket.

"Also safe is…Sara."

"Yes!" Sara pumped a fist as she got her ticket. Alex and Sonya exchanged nervous looks at one another.

Chris held up the last ticket. "The final ticket goes to…

…Alex."

"What?" Clover asked in surprise. "Sonya's out?"


CONFESSIONAL

"I'm honestly surprised," Clover admitted. "I thought I'd be the main target besides Hunter. Either me or Moira. But Sonya? I didn't see that coming."

END CONFESSIONAL


Sonya boarded the Tram Car of Shame. "Rock and roll, you guys," she said, playing one last power chord on her electric guitar that shattered several lights. With that, the doors shut on her time on the competition, and the Tram Car of Shame sped off in a cloud of smoke, causing the remaining campers to start coughing.

Chris, who had sidestepped the smoke, put on his signature grin. "Eleven campers remain," he said as he began to close out the show, "Who will run out of time next? Will Hunter keep his winning streak going? And can my teeth get any more perfect?" He flashed his teeth. "Find out next week on Total! Drama! City!"


BONUS CLIP

Sonya continued to rock out on her guitar in the Tram Car of Shame, her fingers dancing over the strings as they always had. She finished her solo with one final strum.

And sadly, we say goodbye to Sonya. Out of all the remaining characters left in the game, she's the only one that I really don't have plot left for, which is kind of a shame, since I liked her so much. Shoutout to her creator, Fantasy Lord 77, for making such a great character!

The boys have all united now. But how long will their alliance last? With Hunter still here, probably not long.

You'll notice that Logan was absent for pretty much the entire challenge. The reason for that will be revealed in the next challenge episode. Because, since now another 5 campers have been eliminated, the next episode is going to be another exciting Aftermath episode! I'm really excited to be returning to Aftermath episodes.

We're getting closer to the end. After this one, if my calculations are correct, then there are only 12 more episodes left for this season, including Aftermath episodes. Start placing your bets on who's going to make it to the finale. I'm very interested to see who you think is going to come out on top.

Anywho, that's all from me. Make sure you hit that favorite/follow button to stay informed on future updates, and don't forget to drop a review to let me know how I'm doing. Until next time, this is Guest 1138, reminding you to always bring along extra plutonium when traveling back in time. Ciao!
