Total Drama: Ultimate Islands!
Episode 9: Investigating Imposters
Part 1: Missing In Drama

Cold investigations and even colder tactics are in play, as the teams' investigators run the gamut morally from law abiders to sowers of chaos!

1602jaw, I'm glad you appreciated the chapter.
Memeking, this thing is about to get real sus in here!
Guest, I'm glad that you like the way that Pepper Ann was in this story...even if it wasn't that long.

Naturally, they'd definitely make the perfect investigators...says some people, but Chris somehow turns the drama up a notch in this Among Us inspired challenge!

So, let's get this started!


"Last time on Total Drama, we had a simple old talent show except there were about a hundred people and four teams...so there were six acts per team, but most of these players teamed up to share the spotlight!"

The teams doing their acts on the wooden platforms were shown.

"These guys were figuring their acts out, so there were cursed ideas, non-cursed ideas and ideas all around and then we had four lady guest judges along with our favourite grandmaster Chef!"

Palutena, Aqua, Ristarte and Rapunzel were looking at the grandmaster, which wasn't in the episode.

"Some teams had their acts cut short with gnarly results and others just sucked, while the rest were really trying to win their butts off? The Crows did that by not sucking and enjoy a decent night here!"

The actual acts on the night were shown again.

"However, three teams needed to eliminate someone and Connor from the Swordfishes and Daisy from the Deers seemed kinda obvious, Pepper Ann from the Rhinos just got eliminated like it's nothing."

And it's back Chris shouting at night.

"What's that all about? What's with the volleyball boys? How is Luigi going to survive this sussy day? And who's the real faker among us real ones? Find out on Total Drama: Ultimate Islands!"


No intro, huh? Must be getting lazy or something.

- Dante


Muscle Man, Legoshi and Kristoff were all mad at some of their teammates...as did some of the ladies that believed the words of a crooked old man.

Well, it was more like four of them, as the rest were just putting it to the back of their mind.

"I checked and there was nothing wrong with it! Pepper Ann couldn't be there." Carmelita said. "And plus, does anyone have something that would make a hole."

"She could have one...probably." Clover sheepishly said, as the fox detective was looking at her.

"She doesn't. And plus Legoshi didn't smell any wrongdoing there." Carmelita said. "And it's episode 8, so-"

"Legoshi could be working with her to...do something!" Lynn exclaimed with desperation. "...It's possible!"

Carmelita felt pretty vindicated, as Clover was chilling and Lynn sighed.

"Either way, Pepper Ann isn't here. She didn't even get to show off her chops in any challenges."

"Doubt it, Lynn. She's just a normal girl compared to the rest of us crazy ladies." Clover was chilling, as Lynn threw a pillow at her playfully. "Oh, it's on now!"

"It is? Finally!" Lynn exclaimed. "Hope she's having fun times at Playa de Loser."

The two of them were preparing their pillows for a good fight, as there was one squirrel-tailed girl coming in with her own and a smirk.

"Really? I've got a good throw." Squirrel Girl and her squirrel friends were carrying a pillow. "Wait, why not Carmelita?"

"Eh, she'd probably be too strong." Lynn remarked, as Carmelita just got out of the cabin.

"Fine, more for me." Squirrel Girl got hit by a pillow.

The three ladies were just throwing some pillows at each other, while Carmelita and Tifa were doing some business on the lower floor of the ladies side of the Rhino cabin-house hybrid.

Or they were doing it, as the guys were a little bit less split regarding the previous day's vote with Muscle Man being confused as all hell and the majority of the others being okay with the elimination.

"She didn't sabotage, aren't you guys listening to me?" Legoshi shouted at the unconvinced dudes that weren't in on the plan.

"Yeah, she wasn't even near the stage!" Kristoff added to the wolf's statement. "And you guys are fine with this?"

"Yes, someone has to go." Storm Shadow answered the two of them. "And she wasn't worthy of being saved."

Legoshi was breathing heavily, as Kristoff stopped him.

"Okay. But he lied to get her out for no reason!" Kristoff complained.

"And sometimes, that's how it is." Storm Shadow said, before sitting on a windowsill. "You think this is fun and games?"

"No, it's just really stupid." Legoshi remarked, as the ninja jumped out of the window to mind his own business. "This feels weird."

"I know. Muscle Man kinda messed up the challenge for us and he's still in." Kristoff whispered, as there was a certain green guy looking on in.

"I promise that I'm gonna get 'em good this time!" Muscle Man exclaimed. "I swear, it's like you guys have no faith, bro!"

"I've got your back, man. Just thought that most of the votes would be for you." Legoshi said, getting himself up.

"Bruh, he's got a good reason or something!" Muscle Man exclaimed with a smile, as Kristoff shook his head.

*Coachman's confessional*

The old fella was practically chuckling.

"Oh, this is good, this is good! My scheme worked so well that the green man really thought that I trust him or anything like that." He then paused. "No, I just saved him for a more fitting elimination by accident, where I'll make him look like the jackass he really is!"

And then he started laughing evilly.

*Basil's confessional*

"The more time that this pseudo-alliance goes on for, the more I think that there's no plan to this other than to win the entire season, make enemies with clearly hypocritical moral judgements and some other highly questionable strategy." Basil grumbled, as the mouse detective was just looking on the floor. "But those strategies do work..."

*Confessional cut*


The Crows were back on track, as there was just a whole bunch of yelling that Noah and Sandy were already tired of, but the enthusiasm was definitely there...as Owen was looking at his friend.

"Yeah!" Owen told Noah. "What's with you, we managed to win this one!"

"I'm happy about the win, but maybe some of the louder members should shut up." Noah said, having a sly smile.

"Oh, okay." Owen said.

And then he breathed in to do a loud shout.

"Stop shouting, guys!" Owen shouted, catching literally everyone off-guard. "These pancakes are for everyone."

The rest of the team were looking at him like he wasn't going to eat the rest, especially Miko and Deadpool who were trying to hold back laughter.

"You sure?" Miko asked, still in the middle of eating one.

"Are you really sure?" Pit asked in addition.

"Yeah!" Owen just took a bit out of one. "I made a contribution, as well."

"For all that is holy, please don't eat the rest!" Noah told his friend, who managed to finish up the same one that he bit into it.

"What about it?" Owen asked, chowing down a big chunk of pancake.

Miko had a goofy 'ol smile 'cause her friend Pit and Owen were having a good time with the not really nail-free pancakes and Sandy wasn't in the mood to talk to them.

Instead, it was someone else.

"How the heck did you figure that out?" Sandy asked. "There's no way that Kageyama knew your instincts."

"No, but he did ask because I looked weird." Kipo answered, as the white-haired girl looked nervous. "And I caught a volleyball from high up in the air."

"Yeah, that'd do it." Sandy said. "Keep that kind of effort up, though."

"Thanks...how the heck do I do that?" Kipo said. "We're going to have to vote sometime."

"You figure that out! I don't really know what Chris has planned next, but you put all of your effort into it!" Sandy shouted.

"Okay, sure." Kipo said, shrugging. "I'll consider it."

"And you better consider it!" Sandy shouted, sitting right next to Mikasa, who had a steely determination.

"We're technically all leaders of this complicated team, so don't worry about it. She'll pull her weight when it matters." Mikasa stated with determination, as the scout was eating her questionable food. "This does taste fine, though."

"I like what you said, but you do need better food." Sandy told her, a little perturbed by the lack of hating Chef's food.

*Mikasa's confessional*

"I didn't really have anything to say or had a talent in the last challenge." Mikasa stated. "But this challenge will be different, because we're all working to the same challenge."

*Confessional cut*


Oikawa was in a whole other mood, a weird mix between anger and passion that could only be spurred by a rivalry, as Sokka had that same feeling too and the rest of the team weren't feeling that weird feeling.

As they had got done with eating the mediocre pancakes.

"Alrighty, we're going to win this challenge!" Oikawa proclaimed calmly.

"Yeah, I'm glad you're not shouting as much." Sokka said. "Because we need that energy to knock Azula down."

"Oh yeah, that cute girl that you always complain about." Oikawa said.

"She's a warmonger, still trying to kill me and put me out of this competition! Besides, she hates me for no reason." Sokka explained, not caring that much.

"Yeah, that'll do it." Oikawa said. "So, can we agree to beat both of them together?"

"...Yes." Sokka noticed some of his friends around him. "We're taking today's win and eating good tonight!"

"And they cry like little babies, yes?" Heavy exclaimed, as those two were nodding. "Finally, I use Sasha somehow."

"I don't think Chris will allow us to kill, just injure them heavily." Falco said. "I'm pretty sure that most of us don't want that."

"Then how should Sasha be used?" Heavy said.

"Bonk 'em." Falco casually said, as Sokka and Oikawa nodded to that. "We're not taking this show off the air."

"Sasha would not like that!" Heavy shouted.

The three of them looked at Heavy with an incredulous look, considering that he acted like his heavy gun had a personality.

*Falco's confessional*

"I've been passing under the radar for a good while and let's just say that I'm a bit tired of it! Whatever he has handled, I want to make some moves...and win, obviously." Falco remarked with a smile.

*Askeladd's confessional*

"Wait, do they die or not or do they get sent down to the Underworld? Because wherever those weak people go, I'm not going there today!" Askeladd shouted, as Falco knocked on the door.

"What are you talking about?" Falco asked from outside.

"I'm talking about beating everyone through stealing, winning and raising my sword!" Askeladd said, raising his sword.

*Confessional cut*


It wasn't time to dawdle around for the military trio, as Snake, Samus and Sonja were all thinking of ways to break the losing streak with each other and Tanya just so happened to be there.

They were just sitting at the back of the halls, though.

"Is this the war room or something?" Tanya asked.

"This is serious, Tanya. Our team is consistently losing at this point and unless we break it, we'll end up like Team Victory." Sonja didn't take her seriously.

"I'm going to assume that they lost." Tanya said.

"They lost every single challenge until they disappeared in the tenth episode in Total Drama: World Tour." Sonja told Tanya with a serious tone.. "So, we need a killer strategy."

"Whoa, that's new! Haven't watched this thing, much." Snake remarked, ready to look. "But we don't know what Chris is planning this time around."

"It doesn't matter that much. We need to be cognizant of whatever the challenge is and go in with a winning mindset!" Sonja exclaimed, as Tanya was smugly listening in.

"That's good, because if our chances go down like that, I'll be out soon. Anyways, whatever the challenge, we should dominate the competition." Tanya finally suggested with a smile. "And get in their heads with efficent, but scary plays."

"That's-" Sonja got interrupted by Samus.

"-a the start of a decent plan, but since we don't know what the challenge is..." Samus remarked, as Tanya nodded. "...we'll figure it out."

"Okay, you didn't need to interrupt me." Sonja said. "And we'll vote out the weakest link on our team...regardless of relationship or something."

Samus and Tanya gave a callous thumbs up, as Snake gave a confident thumbs up to that plan.

"The meeting's over, Chris will probably spring the challenge on us right now."

The four soldiers then got back to the woods and were sneaking around the place, Sonja and Tanya definitely trying to get some intel and Snake and Samus didn't really have anything to do other than keep their bodies in peak physical condition.

"Er, really into running for no reason, eh?" Snake asked, trying to be slick. "Hey, we could figure out what the next challenge is."

"If this show has one lesson is that predicting a challenge is going to involve some kind of torture." Samus said.

"Well, hope it isn't food-eating." Snake remarked.

"Really? You'd think that I would puke?" Samus said. "Yeah, it's not a big deal."

"You should see what I eat sometimes, I've got a pretty high vomit tolerant." Snake said.

These two then heard the classic Chris buzzer.

"Meet me at the campfire for another fun challenge! Trust me, it is!"

The two of them ran back.


Chris was standing there with a bootleg astronaut's costume and all of the contestants were confused to all hell and back...besides a few who got the reference.

"AMONG US!" Miko yelled.

"Okay, is-"

"Is this challenge about Among Us?" Tails asked.

"Can you please shut up?" Chris asked, getting some silence for once. "Yes, this challenge is based on the hit game Among Us, the game where trust kinda goes out the window with the imposters and many crewmates."

The host had a mean old chuckle.

"This time, the teams will be shuffled for today's challenge into four equally separate groups and those groups are all going into four very different places! Group A gets sent to the woods to sit by the intern station, Group B goes to a ship that you can't see right now, Group C goes to...some other place and Group D goes to the McLean resort, which is empty!"

"Sick, bro! Can't wait to get into the hotel." Muscle Man shouted.

"Yeah, I can't imagine anything going wrong with getting into the hotel!" Dante had a relaxed smile.

The 96 remaining contestants were just watching for the first group to be sent up.

"For Group A, Hank, Squirrel Girl, Iori, Kristoff, Sammy and Rock from the Rhinos, Kipo, Kageyama, Papyrus, Giovanni, Michiru and Riku from the Crows, Donkey Kong, Spike, B, Dawn, Penny and Luigi from the Deers and Oikawa, Lowain, Askeladd, Bayonetta, Daphne and Arle from the Swordfishes...will be going into the woods together."

The two volleyball rivals were glaring at each other, as the rest of the people that were called out were looking at their Group A cards.

"For Group B, Harley Quinn, Tron Bonne, Tifa, Carmelita, Legoshi and Tendou from the Rhinos...Soma, Judy, Wario, Gum, Haida and Tiny Tina from the Crows...Julia, Robyn, Aisling, Piccolo, Tiana and Bugs from the Deers...and finally, Heavy, Joseph, Falco, Amelia, Eva and Ryuko from the Swordfishes...will be on a great ship!"

"Woo, it's going to be good!" Falco shouted.

"Finally, I can show my skills! These challenges aren't suited to my skills." Amelia said.

"For Group C, Basil, Lynn, Iori, Yumeko, Shulk and Storm Shadow from the Rhinos...Darkness, Terry, Kyo, Nobara, Shego and Genos from the Crows...Uraraka, Mystique Sonia, Ram, Samurai Jack, Riley and Snufkin from the Deers and finally, Min Min, Nicole, Squigly, Leshawna, Kasumi and Sokka from the Swordfishes get to find their mystery place...through this killer GPS!"

Nicole got thrown the GPS and it was...something.

"It's flashing a whole lot. Are you sure-"

"He's not going to answer. I figure that out a while ago." Basil answered.

"Okay, so that means...the rest of you are in Group D, heading to the resort!"

There was a whole lot of silence, as the good majority of them comprehend that they weren't going to have a good time.

"Never mind, this blows!" Muscle Man complained.

"I agree. That old guy isn't to be trusted." Reigen said.

"I don't trust your scammer butt either!" Muscle Man shouted.

Group D were straight up not having a good time, since their cards indicated the obvious.

"So, those were a lot of names, so you guys should get to your places!" Chris announced, as though the absurd amount of tension wasn't just behind him and he even threw a key to an angered Sol Badguy. "For the record, if you break that, your group instantly goes to the campfire."

"Fine, whatever keeps me up at night." Sol remarked, clearly not in the mood.

"So, we're all on different groups?" Tails asked. "And I get the most volatile group..."

"Yeah, read it and weep." Sol said.

"By the way, there will be four impostors in each group, so keep your eyes peeled!" Chris shouted. "Cool? Cool."

"But we don't really know-" Mai yelled, as Noah popped up right next to her.

"Let's be honest, Chris wanted to do this challenge for that exact reason, it's an auto drama generator." Noah said.

The four set of groups were set together in their very different situations and being sent to their different places...were feeling each other's situation, as there was a whole lot of arguments and some unexpected interactions.


Group A

In these woods, the first 24 were just sitting down at a table, as there was literally a sign to sit down and there was one thing on their mind, aside from

"Who the hell are you?" Iori asked Dawn.

"Someone that can sense that you were quite fond of cats." Dawn stated. "And of your friends."

"Cats are ok, but your dumbass needs to move." Iori stated, as Dawn...looked like she expected.

"Your anger is only a reflection of a-" Dawn said.

"The only shit you're looking at is going to be my flames next!" Iori yelled.

"Aura-readers, angry man, we're here to do some tasks and obviously, these tasks are coming up on our ugly watches." Bayonetta remarked, as she wore a smartwatch.

Soon enough, everyone had a smartwatch and 20 of them were actually showing "Crewmate" and the other four were showing "Not a Crewmate"

*Kageyama's confessional*

"No way that I'm about to work with Oikawa and his dumb ass! I'm going to do these things and ignore his stupid head!" The guy shouted, looking at his watch. "Raking sucks."

*Donkey Kong's confessional*

The big 'ol monkey was just stretching his arms.

"I'm going to be the best impostor of all time and with my guy, Rock, we're going to do the thing."

*Confessional cut*


Group B

There was another bunch of 24 that was waiting for the ship to come, as they also all had smartwatches and messages that couldn't really be shown to anyone else..as most of these players were grumbling and waiting for whatever rinky-dink ship that they assumed would be here.

"Urgh, when's the ship that falling down real quick?" Eva asked.

"I doubt it, a ship like that wouldn't..." Falco was looking onto a old cruise ship in wonder.

The many contestants that were looking at the still decent cruise ship with a mix of awe and wonder, considering that a good chunk of them haven't seen a cruise ship.

"Whoa...how the hell are we going to win?" Eva said.

"Let's be honest, by beating those impostors!" Falco declared.

*Piccolo's confessional*

The green alien was just looking left and right.

"Anyone out of the twenty-four of us could be the impostor, I'm definitely not one and I think that Aisling isn't one!" Piccolo shouted. "That rabbit guy, though, is probably the impostor.

*Confessional cut*


Group C

This group of twenty-four were actually...inside of some other place, as they were in some place that was totally not in the mines, with some rocks on the ceiling for aesthetic reasons and was well-lit.

They were back in the mines.

"Geez, last time I was here, i got farted on." Nobara said.

"Wait, really?" Shego asked, chuckling. "Must have smelt bad."

"You were the one who moved away from my smell." Nobara remarked.

"And now, you don't smell like condensed fart." Shego said, as the two ladies were definitely starting to hear someone that was walking towards them.

"AYYY!"

Riley was coming in, as the two ladies were coming out.

"Ayo, I ain't no impostor and I ain't a snitch!" Riley shouted, as Snufkin didn't look too interested in waiting. "Man, the fuck I gotta do to not look sus."

Snufkin was looking for a second.

"I have no idea what you said, but you do a good job." Snufkin answered, as Riley just kicked a random oil barrel.

The other two Deer boys was just looking at the Deer man, lost in thought about his fellow guy with a katana.

*Samurai Jack's confessional*

*Confessional cut*


Group D

There was a lot of tension in the resort, despite it looking like a typical luxury resort's reception...with a whole bunch of plants, foliage, a desk and a television that just showed his smiling face.

"Oh, god, what now?" Snake asked, ducking under a bunch of thrown objects.

"Stop, stop, Chris has a special announcement for all of you!" Mikasa tried to get everyone in the group together. "What is it?"

"Oh yeah, anyone who is sent out of the location will be up for eliminations, imposters and crewmates! You guys have two and a half hours to do things and either beat the impostors or sniff them out...so good luck!" Chris announced, actually doing it to all of the groups including this one.

Mikasa and Noah nodded, as these two knew what they had to do and the rest...were the rest, alright.

"Out of everyone, why did I have to walk with you?" Mai asked with some frustration.

"Because, my dear, it'd be better to be with me. The impostor running around would rather like to sever our trust." Coachman remarked, with a somewhat evil smile.

"What trust? You look like the opposite of trust." Mai said, looking at him with serious distrust.

"The fact that we're on the same team, dearie..." Coachman said.

"Screw this, I'm going to...some place!" Mai yelled, as the ninja lady was looking at the old man with serious suspicion. "You're obviously the impostor!"

"But that would be too obvious, don't you think?" Coachman frowned, as Mai threw a fan at his face. "I see how it is."

Reigen walked in the middle of that, trying to avoid the confrontation between teammates.

"Great job." Reigen said, not pleased.

"Dang, that's very sussy, heck, I'd say it's an imposter move!" Chris said, ready to have a fun time. "But is he actually one? Find out after the break!"


To be continued in the second part of the investigators' episode, where the banned/jailed/stuck in mud? contestants will be up for elimination...through some good votes and not so good votes!
