Total Drama: Ultimate Islands!
Episode 3: Capture The Headbands
Part 3: No Formation? No Problem!

What's up with Snake and Samus? What about Daisy, Luigi and some other people and more importantly, how are the Crows doing?

All of that is going to be answered in this chapter without the newcomers showing up a ridiculous amount besides Joseph Joestar, because what else do I do?

Sammy and Sugar minding their business, so expect all of the above and that in this third part of the third episode!

And why is there so many people? Because I don't know, but I'm dealing with it!


"And we're back with the Crows still ridiculously far in the lead, the Deers doing awesome in second place! The Rhinos and The Swordfishes should step up their game." Chris announced, as there was some kind of happening towards some of the Deers.

Snake, Samus, Luigi, Daisy and Donkey Kong were a crew of five that wasn't to be messed with...considering their combined power, as they just had managed to get together.

"Hey, Samus! We haven't got much luck." Daisy showed the 200-point headband she had.

"Our luck is just as bad, so don't get too cocky." Samus joked, even if he didn't come across. "We've only got 400."

"Oh no! What are we going to do?" Luigi asked.

"We do what we need to do." Samus exclaimed.

"...Wait, what is that?" Luigi said.

"Honestly...going all out." Samus remarked, as she released her electric whip.

"Ohhhh, makes sense." Luigi was preparing his still nervous fists.

Donkey Kong knew what he had to do with the other four, as they were bunkering down to do some strategy...or rather, Snake and Samus were doing all of the strategy and the rest were watching, ready to ensnare a lot of headbands.

And in other news, Gintoki, Clover and Squirrel Girl were a trio that barely survived the first challenge, as is, so the universe must have been looking up for them.

Because they just managed to find a big one...on the ground, no less.

"Whoa! That's just a straight million!" Clover shouted.

"Of course it is. That's the number." Gintoki remarked.

"Listen up, we're going to guard this with our life!" Squirrel Girl yelled, as Clover was backing her up.

"Our life here depends on it and we're going to look cute with our share of a million each!" Clover declared.

"Yeah, we're not going to die if we leave here." Gintoki told the two of them, who got offended. "I think."

These three weren't about to let an opportunity slide, as they were bunching up against each other...trying to find the campgrounds that were only slightly downhill from where they were.

And they were in the sticks equilvalent of the multi-isle campgrounds, random huts only.

Both groups had a determination to make some serious effort and that was going to start with the super-group that was within the super-team of the Crows.

"Damn it, we're going to open this lead and then close this challenge like it's a...box!" Kipo yelled, ready to work things out.

"And we're going to take victory, I'm assuming?" Shego asked like it wasn't a big deal.

"Yes, obviously." Kipo said. "And we couldn't have done without our old pal."

"I think we did." Shego said.

"No, we couldn't have done without my distraction skills!" Tiny Tina exclaimed, as Kipo and Shego were both raising their eyebrows...before they realised what she did.

"You just blew something up." Shego remarked.

"And if she didn't blow something up, we wouldn't have been able to do the thing." Kipo said. "I hope he's okay."

"I doubt he's okay." Shego said.

Riku was actually the one that felt the bomb damage, as he was walking carefully and barely saw the million point trio before they disappeared.

"...It's kind of impressive that those ladies acts like you're not alive." Gum remarked, walking in her skates.

"It's not, I'm pretty sure that I saw a ridiculous amount of points and they've already noticed it." Riku stated. "But we've got each other and that's what matters."

"Still can't believe that the host is just dropping people in willy-nilly." Gum said, as she followed the leading trio. "Who knows what's going to happen."

"He's going to stop...and there's more people now?!" Riku said quietly, as Gum shushed him...and Papyrus was standing there.

"Yep." Gum said, not even listening.

While those six were just hanging out and trying to get the download on the running trio with the massive point headband, said trio were joined by Sammy and Sugar literally crashing into them.

"Listen the fuck up...I'm tired." Gintoki said. "So, let's run."

"We were already running!" Sammy shouted. "From Sugar just getting beat up!"

"...Good on you."

The five that made up the million-point Rhinos were just sprinting like it was no-one's business, as they weren't about to lose to two different bunches of people.

"Sugar, we need to get away from the other people!" Sammy shouted.

"How, I'm just being mah beautiful self!" Sugar exclaimed.

"I dunno!"

"No duh."

"We don't need this, so let's go." Clover said, as she didn't look too impressed with the Pahkitew blondes.

The five of them weren't the best runners and had to deal with the forest make their path more indirect, as the trees were numerous and so were the detours.

And it didn't help when another bunch of people managed to see them from far away.

"Well, there's our chance!" Donkey Kong put his hands like binoculars.

"Let's take that chance, then." Samus said coldly.

A group of six Crows and five Deers saw the million and were running after the headband, trying to ensure that they weren't blocked by the forest's winding paths and that said team didn't get an open way to the campgrounds.

*Sammy's confessional*

The blonde cheerleader looked nervous.

"Still don't know why I wasn't in the first challenge, but I'm sure as heck that I'm happy for skipping that, because I didn't want to be running with basically a target on my head." Sammy said, a little bit scared.

*Riku's confessional*

The guy looked nervous.

"I still don't know why I was the bait, but it had to be someone and I don't think having Gum take the hit would be fine. I don't like seeing darkness after all." Riku remarked.

*Daisy's confessional*

Daisy had a wide smile and the shoes to boot.

"If you think I'm going to take your headband lying down...I think you're right." Daisy shouted.

*Confessional cut*


Back at camp, Pinstripe and Coachman were both chuckling to themselves at the impressive amount of points that they both hid and the fear factor that they've both generated.

And some others managed to gather some points and finally put them down, as they were chased by a duo.

"Well, I did it." Legoshi said, running away from Min Min. "I put it in."

"And you're not going to get away!" Nicole yelled, practically stopping him with a near miss of a punch.

But it was one hell of a near miss punch, as it made Legoshi freeze up and Min Min react in shock.

"Doing it for the team, remember?"

While Nicole said that, Chris had a special announcement.

"The Rhinos may have more than a hundred thousand points, but they're still up to lose two people from being third!"

Legoshi just laid on the ground in fear, as Nicole and Min Min were running back into the forest and...saw something weird and it came from the new guy.

Joseph Joestar was feeling pretty down and looked like he had seen a cruse.

"What up with you?" Nicole asked, in shock.

"Strange old guy. Took me under a table and stole my headbands. Besides this one." Joseph remarked, very serious.

"You haven't even been in the last challenge, it's fine if you lose sometimes." Nicole said, more unimpressed than anything.

"I just looked in there, saw this jolly old guy and then he threatened me and took my point headbands! It's definitely an experience." Joseph Joestar said, was all smiles at the end.

"...I still don't get you, but that's probably true." Nicole said, a little bit confused.

"We're still trying to take down Azula, so we're in this together!" Min Min shouted, very un-confused.

The three of them decided to do one thing...and that one thing involved Tanjiro and Yuri doing their thing, as the duo had some smiles from practicing what knows what.

But they did have an notable amount of points and Joseph Joestar and Min Min had some range.

"Alright, let's settle this!" Min Min shouted.

And for some reason, Snufkin, Robyn and Jude jumped out of nowhere from the bushes and also ran with the two ladies...just 'cause they wanted to.

"Heh, heh, watch this?" Joestar asked "nervously", as he swung the clackers around like an expert. "Nice trick, eh?"

"There's no way you've defeated whatever the Pillar Men you talked about with that-"

Nicole was in the middle of saying, when the clackers literally fired themselves at Yuri, who...basically slowed it down massively with Haoh-ken...and it still hit Tanjiro with impressive strength.

And Tanjiro basically got knocked down for a bit.

"-As I was saying, you probably had a ton of moves, but that was definitely one of them!"

The whole balance of the Deers got swung by two clackers, as Yuri was still running as fast as she could...while the rest were looking at Tanjiro with shocked eyes.

Yuri dodged's Nicole still average strikes and Min Min's mis-aimed stretchy arms, as Tanjiro got back up and restored his team's balance in record time.

Yuri got into the safe zone with 22,000 points and Tanjiro added on an extra 9,500 points onto that, so...

"The Deers have got over two hundred thousand points, so the Rhinos still have a long way to go!" Chris announced. "Also, The Swordfishes are way in last!"

"Thanks for telling me!" Min Min shouted, somehow grabbing a massive 100,000 point headband from Snufkin. "Joseph?"

"Working on it!" Joseph exclaimed with a smirk, getting the clackers to snatch a 20,000 point headband from Jude's hat. "Got 'em!"

And they put it in, as Cassie Cage and Raven came back with some points to tip it over the edge...blasting Tanjiro and Yuri on the way there.

Tanjiro and Yuri may have not gotten any damage, but what they managed to lose was the chance to take the Swordfishes' two heroes down with any moves.

And Raven just threw back the arrow from Robyn's crossbow like it was nothing.

"Sorry, I don't intend to lose either. Besides, you three aren't looking...super good." Raven said, not too surprised.

And Cassie put in another 36,600 points from both her teammate and herself, as the two other members.

"Never mind, The Swordfishes are in second now and not losing anyone today! I guessing losing made them stronger!" Chris announced, as Cassie Cage had a nervous look.

"Considering that we just jumped up to second, we could lose it for no reason at all. So, keep on your toes." Cassie told the whole team, as Raven was basically floating behind her.

"Okay?" Min Min asked...before getting the Haoh Shoukouken to her face, knocking her down.

Cassie and Raven were just looking at each other, as they were going somewhere else, with Nicole in tow.

*Raven's confessional*

She didn't look too interested in making an confessional.

"There's not much to say other than some of our teammates are very not smart." Raven said. "That being said, it's not like the other guys are dumb."

*Confessional cut*


Clover, Gintoki, Sammy, Sugar and Doreen (Squirrel Girl) were the five that could change up the game at any time...if they could get into the camp.

Unfortunately, their enemies include the forest and Aisling, who was very angry and very tired of people stepping into her personal space.

And was still happening with these five and Piccolo.

"Do you want to help out with the challenge?" Piccolo asked.

"I'm protecting the spot where I sleep! So, yes!" Aisling shouted.

And the group just happened to meet eyes with the whitest girl on reality TV, (and movies, but Deadpool only knows that.) as she came up to them.

"Gimme some of those head things!" she shouted with missing a beat.

"That's right, we're stealing." Piccolo stated, stretching his arm out.

And his hand immediately managed get hit by a heel, as Clover wasn't about to let an amount that big get stolen and Squirrel Girl slapped Aisling with impressive strength.

Though, Piccolo and Aisling were far from done...as the former fired off some ki like it wasn't a big deal and the latter...managed to get a wolf or two on Squirrel Girl.

And Sammy and Sugar what was up, as they weren't being hit and Gintoki was standing by and giving them the seven-digit headband...and Sammy took on it and ran into the forest...with Sugar following close behind.

"Wow, I can't believe he thought of that." Sugar said. "What a smart old guy."

"He's young and he didn't even think of that." Sammy told her. "But we've gotta get back to camp, right?"

"Right! And I bet it's that away!" Sugar could barely see the mess hall.

"I think we can see it!"

These two weren't running that fast, courtesy of Sugar.

*Aisling's confessional*

She looked angry.

"I just want to rest in my forest, see the living creatures in there and do my thing of hanging up in the trees and not doing the challenge." Aisling said. "Guess that's over."

*Confessional cut*


With all of that said, Snake's crew were doing business on the beach side, as Daisy led them in directions that were a bit inaccurate and they weren't scared.

"Aw, the beach. Good times to find those million-point headbands." Daisy remarked.

"I bet that we're not even close to them." Samus said.

"Hold up, they could actually be here." Daisy exclaimed, as she wasn't seeing them.

"...I think you're wrong."

The other three were just trying to find some other big number ones, as Snake and Donkey Kong weren't messing around and Luigi found a 20,000 point headband and just held onto it.

"Man, these rare headbands are like finding-" Donkey Kong said, after he dug up a whole bunch of sand.

"-a needle in a haystack, but it's not like they're elusive either." Snake was judging the sand that was definitely dug up.

"I was going to say bananas in the desert, but that's good too." Donkey Kong was still trying to dig with his massive hands.

"That's definitely a first, though." Snake remarked...before finding his one high-value headband. "Looks like, we've got something on our hands."

"It's 800,000, man! Gonna put it on your head...because you already have a headband!" Donkey Kong shouted. "I've seen Mario Party!"

"Weird reference point, but it's okay." Luigi said, was a little bit shook. "I've got a few more headbands!"

"Well, that's good. We've just got to sneak past...Riku and his people." Snake saw the white-haired Keyblade wielder like he was a problem. "Be careful, this guy moves around you like it's no big deal."

Daisy ran on ahead with Samus doing the deal, as well, as Snake managed to hid his six-digit headband under his fabric headband and Donkey Kong and Luigi were ready to get slapped by Shego and Gum running on the beach.

And the battle sort of started, as while Snake definitely managed to sneak past the people that were bringing their hurt.

Gum got slapped by Donkey Kong into oblivion, as the big ape didn't his team to lose two more people...and Shego jumped over the second slap and kicked him in the head.

Riku couldn't exactly use his Keyblade's most spicy powers, but he could definitely swing it like it was nothing and just cut through Daisy's golf club, but got stunned by Samus...charging up her paralyzer.

"Nothing personal." Samus said, shooting off the fully charged paralyzer.

Riku just took the point blank hit, being stuck in place for a bit.

"You're right." Riku told her, as Samus paired back up with Snake.

And yet, the fight was raging on with six people just going at it for the potential to have points...as the two that would've counted for the most have escaped.

*Riku's confessional*

The white-haired Keyblade wielder had a tired smile.

"I would've healed myself, but I didn't have enough magic." Riku said. "But I brought some light to my team."

*Confessional cut*


And of course, Snake met Sammy and Samus met Sugar, as the duos with a massive amount of points on the lines met up and just ran to avoid it getting taken.

"...I bet you've got a big number." Snake stated.

"Just 'cause I'm big, doesn't mean I ain't beautiful! Also, I bet you got a big number there!" Sugar shouted with misunderstanding.

"I was talking about headbands." Snake said.

"We ain't got a big one then!" Sugar shouted, as Sammy just nervously nodded.

Samus and Snake were looking at them with suspicion, as both duos were running to the safe zone with speed...and they were leaving each other alone for obvious reasons.

And also...Dante and Ram were joining them, wondering what they were doing...before sneaking a peek at the yellow headbands and understanding.

"What are you looking at?" Dante asked with a smirk.

"Your very questionable face." Ram stated.

These teams of three weren't the only ones that were doing their business of running towards the safe zone near the mess hall...as Joey Wheeler, Heavy, Lowain and Khun were running together with their own 50,000 point headbands and Khun...actually had some strategies.

"The Swordfishes are still ahead of the Deers and it looks like they're going to go for more!"

"Yeah, we're not out here playing games!" Joey Wheeler shouted. "We're out here, taking names...and playing games!"

"Shut up, you not smart." Heavy said. "People are coming."

"Heh, then it's time to-" Joey basically got his duel wielder grabbed. "-duel."

"You lose." Heavy said, as Joey just about managed to get stomped on. "Ow, that hurt."

Joey just yelled, as Lowain and Khun were running ahead with their headbands and the former had a pained expression...as he saw that Joey got stomped on by Darkness, of all people.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Darkness said in panic. "I didn't mean to step on you!"

"Yeah, well watch where you're going next time!" Joey shouted, partially from pain.

"Oh, sorry..." Darkness innocently said with a weird smile.

"Why are you smiling for?!" Joey yelled, as Darkness got caught off guard. "Who raised ya!"

Darkness just...had a moment of ecstasy and it didn't help when Kageyama and Kipo for the her team and Sokka and Oikawa for Joey's team managed to somehow witness the entire thing.

And then Heavy pushed her.

*Kageyama's confessional*

The black-haired setter was lacking in words.

"...What's up with her? I don't care what they're doing, but her mind should be in the game." Kageyama finally said.

*Sokka's confessional*

Sokka was very confused.

"If I got a lady, I wouldn't want my first time to be stepped on and she just acting like that." Sokka said. "For sure."

*Confessional cut*

"Uh, the Swordfishes have got over 260,000 points, so they're clear in second!" Chris announced. "Also, The Crows have got 50,000 more than that now."

"That lady is a little crazy. But I'm still Heavy and I'm still taking!" Heavy actually stole Darkness's headbands.

"This challenge is making me feel something good!" Darkness had a dirty smile. "But I also have to help out, because Kazuma wants a thing!"

And in true Kazuma's party member fashion, she missed...by a country mile and almost hit Kipo.

"Whoa, are you okay?!" Kipo shouted, as Darkness fell down.

Sokka and Oikawa were smugly looking at each other, like they were about to drop something crazy...which wasn't too far off from what the other two teams were about to do.

"Yeah, we're just putting bands in there!" Sokka exclaimed.

"I think that's enough to put us in the lead...Tobio-chan, we're pretty close now." Oikawa told him, clapping his hands together. "And I bet you might end up being last."

Sokka saw two duos that were running their hardest to ensure that they weren't losing this one and he got punched by one of them.

"What do you mean, volleyball boy?" He asked.

"I meant what I meant, you know." Oikawa remarked.

Snake and Sammy ran in, having a whole bunch of injuries from a bunch of people that were getting hit...but they were definitely coming in with the biggest headband of the day.

...Or a million-point headband each, as Sammy was nervous.

"Please, don't kill me!" Sammy shouted. "My sister will make fun of me!"

"What the hell kind of sister do you have?" Sol asked. "Sounds like a bitch."

"Hey, don't judge. It could be some weird thing." Bugs Bunny remarked. "Wait, what happened to the sexy lady?"

"She left to help the team out." Snake said, pulling the rubber headband from under the normal headband.

"Of course she did! And I don't get any thanks?!" Bugs complained with Snake listening in, adding an extra 150,000 to the total.

"The Rhinos and The Deers have more than a million and the Deers are leading with 1.35 million points, so the other teams are going to have pull something out of their butts!"

The Swordfishes were plain stunned at how fast the tables got turned around on them, as they were now down to third and Sokka, Oikawa and Heavy were ready to get back into action.

Joey was practically down for the count, as he barely got up and sat on a cardboard box with his Duel Disk intact.

"At least, this thing's okay." Joey said.

"If we lose, then we're voting you off." Sokka remarked, as he and Oikawa went.

"You're not the one carrying a bunch of headbands!" Joey shouted.

"Yeah, my dude right here ran from some far away part of the island...just to come here." Lowain backed up the duel wielder. "And then he got stomped by a weird knight!"

Sokka, Heavy and Oikawa were practically gone, ready to find their random million-point headband.

"...Literally everyone else besides Johnny Bravo managed to get some headbands without getting destroyed in the chest." Khun came out of nowhere with some headbands. "But I won't blame you."

"Right, white-haired dude who came outta bush!" Lowain shouted.

"And you were just standing there like an idiot." Khun said with a calm smile.

"Yeah, we've both had our bruh moments. Now let's not lose two more people." Lowain just fist-bumping Khun. "Why the suitcase, bro?"

"It's the reason why I'm pretty good at surviving." Khun remarked. "Besides, I've got a plan."

The blonde bro cook and the genius survivor were just running together to get...something.

"Seriously, Swordfishes dudes, you're going to have to eliminate two people if you don't pull something out!"


Johnny Bravo was mentioned and currently, Mai Shiranui and Tifa were trying to get him off his trail, somehow ending up with headbands that were given to him for some challenge.

Neither of the ladies were sure what it was, but they were lucky.

"Come on, ladies, you're up for a double date?" Johnny asked, running behind them.

"Not really, have a boyfriend!" Mai remarked.

"Yeah, ninja babe, I wonder what's happening with him." Johnny said.

"Hey, we're going to get married sometime this year!" Mai shouted. "Get off my business, you dumbass!"

"Oh...you're gonna help out?" Johnny asked, as he managed to get a flaming fan to his face. "Tifa or whatever your name is, you up for a date?"

"If this is an alliance, I don't want any part of it." Tifa stated, open and honest. "Besides I've already got someone on my mind."

"Hey, baby, we're gonna be here on the same island for a good while, so I'm gonna compete like no-one you've ever seen before!" Johnny Bravo was just clicking his fingers towards her. "Gotta go back to my team."

"Okay, you can do that by going to your team." Tifa said.

Johnny Bravo was just running forward back to his teammate, who was both confused and angry at him and it just so happened to the one person who clearly was tired of shenanigans.

"Amelia, I think I've got myself set up for a date." Johnny said, clicking his fingers with his 20,000 point headband.

"I can't believe you just gave a headband to someone who wasn't even that willing to have it...just so you could have a good time with them." Amelia said, very disappointed.. "I don't know what your thought process even is."

"They are both hot babes. That's all I really need." Johnny said, being very smooth with the angry cat lady. "I mean, you're a tall drink of water, but you're also a cat."

"...I get the feeling that your mouth just goes on its own, beause you just said you'd follow a attractive person no matter the team." Amelia told him, as she had something inside her.

"Though the Swordfishes have 369,690 points, they're still losing pretty dang hard and we're only an hour in!" Chris announced.

"Whoa, mama, we're losing?" Johnny Bravo just realised.

"Yeah, but we can make a comeback! You somehow have 500,000 points in your pocket." Amelia said. "Not sure how it got there, but you have to run back!"

"Okay!" Johnny Bravo shouted. "Min Min, this time, you're gonna tell me the secret of your ramen."

"She doesn't..."

Cassie Cage just walked onto the scene.

"...you know what, he has good morale." Amelia said, as Cassie just sighed.

*Cassie's confessional*

The Special Forces Agent was looking up to the sky.

"I don't think they were really thinking that hard about who would be in, just that they'd be their unique character within the show. Hell, I bet there wasn't even meant to be this many people...because there was no way that Johnny would make it otherwise." Cassie said, struggling to not facepalm.

*Confessional cut*


The Deers may had done crazy things, but what about the rest of them that have not done crazy things and were in the middle of just bringing the points in to further their lead.

And there were some very happy people seeing that there score was going up for the Deers at the halfway mark and a lot of help was going around.

"I think we've done enough stuff for this challenge." Snufkin said, raising his hat.

"No way! We suddenly got a million points out of nowhere, so it's possible that we just could lose...like that." Spike said, flying with quite a few headbands.

"I'm not the one carrying a bunch of headbands." Snufkin actually had something good under his hat.

"Plus, there's a whole bunch of people just out there stealing the headbands for their own team." Spike said. "That Storm Shadow guy, especially."

"Yeah, so we should all contribute to the cause of winning." Scott Pilgrim said, lying down on the ground face-up. "Because winning's pretty good."

"Cool, because we need all the help that we can get." Spike remarked.

"Can't. Every time I go, it's like Storm Shadow and some other guy knows where I am and I get pinned down on the ground! Happened five times already!" Scott Pilgrim complained, as Spike looked worried.

"I said cool, you can rest...and it's fine!" Spike basically flew away at speed.

Snufkin, Scott Pilgrim and now Sonja were sitting in the same area, as Sonja managed to come back with a few medium headbands and saw the two of them.

"What are you two relaxing for? We could lose the challenge without anyone noticing." Sonja said, not too pleased with the two dudes relaxing.

"I've got a million point headband. Also, if Chris says that it counts after the time limit, then it counts." Snufkin justified himself.

"How did you get past the ninja?" Scott asked, still lying on the ground.

"...Storm Shadow did manage to catch some of our teammates." Sonja said. "I just happened to be lucky enough to take all of the headbands because he was monologuing."

"Wow...they must be slow." Snufkin just got a scoff from Sonja. "I bet he's not that fast."

Julia Chang ran in with some news from the campgrounds, ready to score some more.

"We might not have this challenge in the bag!" Julia shouted, shocking Sonja and Scott Pilgrim.

The people with the S in their names were doing a whole bunch of work for the Deers and Chris McLean had to come in to say his words to interrupt the shock of these teammates.

"Damn, I bet there's going to be more of this episode of Total Drama after the break!" Chris announced. "That's right, there's more!"


To be continued in Part 4, which isn't really the end of the challenge, but is the last chapter with the challenge taking up the entire chapter with the stronger members doing their business!

The total amount of points for these teams for the third time in the episode:

Rugged Rhinos: 1,150,050 points (2nd)
Crafty Crows: 322,300 points (4th)
Daring Deers: 1,551,000 points (1st)
Striking Swordfish: 373,690 points (3rd)

Honestly, I think I'm just going go all-in on this fanfic, no matter how big it really is and no matter how hard it's going to be, because there's going to be a few surprises in the next chapter.
