Total Drama: Ultimate Islands!
Episode 11: Beach Volleybrawl
Part 4b: Swaps, Slings and Schemes!
You know the drill, this part shouldn't technically be here, but I'm just too tired of dealing with the volleyball challenge and also...there be some crazy shit in this chapter.
1602jaw: Yeah, you'll be kinda surprised to see who was booted out this time arouhd...and anyways, Nicole's parents are...abrasive to say the least.
Memeking: I'm glad that you got some inspiration from my first attempt at a sports challenge and honestly, look forward to these ones...specifically. Also, I just try to let some characters be in the background for a bit for the "How I fit so many characters into one fic" part.
Aside from the stuff that was set-up in the previous part, so let's run right into it...though Episode 12 will start arriving in 2022 with something coming in two halves before this year ends (for no reason at all!)
Okay, enough words.
"Welcome back to the definitely necessary extra part where the Swordfishes are taking their sweet time taking two team players from the Rhinos!" Chris announced.
The two teams were in a bit of a different area, which just an unfinished bar that housed so many seats and of course, was made of mahogany and carried an opressive amount of tension.
On one side, anyways, as the other side contained the winning team plus spiky-haired Iwaizumi roasting Oikawa's very existence...loudly.
"You really thought that a volleyball camp on an island didn't sound too cool?" Iwaizumi asked.
"Yes, but I'd never thought that I'd nearly die several times." Oikawa stated with confidence. "I don't mind being here right now, though!"
"Really, you sure?" Iwaizumi asked. "You just said that you nearly died several times."
"And I didn't." Oikawa had a sincere smile. "And I have a weird bunch of friends."
The two friends weren't really listening to the important decision that was being made at the moment, as there was someone that looked tired as hell, but determined to do something.
Cassie and Amelia nodded on each other and nodded to the main dudes of the team minus Oikawa.
"We've made our decision and this may seem a little bit strange, but we're going with Basil of Baker Street and Mai." Cassie answered, which got the whole team clapping. "I honestly forgot they were here, but they're going to be useful!"
Kasumi and Mai were fist-bumping, as they were back to being in the same team once again.
"Welcome to the Swordfishes, where you do stuff!" Kasumi shouted.
"Honestly, I was not expecting to be the vacationing one, but what can you do? Besides, where the hell is Storm Shadow?" Mai asked, before looking at the rather serious ninja. "Where were you when we needed to take some people, huh?"
Kasumi didn't get it...along with the rest of the Swordfishes, as Storm Shadow glared at Mai.
"I was looking for something important to myself and something important to these islands-" Storm Shadow answered with confidence, before being cut off by.
"Alright, Mai and Basil, get used to be on the losing team...Rhinos, you guys have anything to say?" Chris announced. "Guys?"
"I can't believe we forgot you, Mai! Stay strong, though!" Clover shouted, as Azula sighed at the fact that the swaps were unimportant to her...and only her. "Azula, what's your deal."
"Nothing, just that the fact that those two are about to be eliminated soon." Azula said, as Clover sighed.
"Wow, you're like a real villain." Clover said with dissapointment.
"I'm saying that for just strategising." Azula did get quite a few looks. "And it's fun to exploit some weaknesses."
"...Still a villain." Clover scoffed out of frame.
As for the detective that left the team, he was taking his sweet time saying his own goodbyes to the people that he may or may not have liked.
"Carmelita, you are definitely a beautiful fox and I appreciate all of the relaxation that you do outside of the challenge." Basil told Carmelita, who didn't apperciate the confusing words. "Investigate some more please."
Dante was the next one to get his goodbye and he had no expectations.
"Dante, you may be one of the strongest teammates that this old team has and probably could be one of the core of the team...if you decide to cut ties with a certain someone."
Dante wasn't in that type of mood.
"Speaking of that certain someone..."
Who was in a rather good mood.
"...I'll know that you always have disliked and in spite of all that you have done to this team, both negative or positive, all of those who don't know who you really are will be rather surprise to see the real you, Coachman! Nevertheless, I will catch you in the act."
Everyone in the room was looking at him differently, even his new teammates and Coachman was just grinning widely.
"You know, you didn't have to make yourself look like a donkey, but a donkey would be embarrassed to act like that."
The air ran cold in the place, as the roast cut through the entire room...as Basil was with Khun, Amelia and Tails looking very convinced.
"Besides...you haven't even done anything being in a alliance." Coachman stated, as Carmelita was looking at him. "For shame!"
And it got colder.
"Okay, we're moving onto the votes! Let's go, guys!" Chris tried to raise the mood.
*Coachman's confessional*
He had a rather sincere smile.
"He's a arrogant bastard for someone that never did a thing and honestly, I think my day will be better for that...especially when he's eliminated, because he'll find some of my more unsavoury moves." He answered, the smile turning malicious. "You have no idea who you're up against."
*Khun's confessional*
The sneaky white-haired guy was looking rather smug.
"Wow, the amount of smart guys on this team just went up by one and as much as I'm not looking for that much money, I am looking to win with some new friends." Khun remarked. "One of my friends got betrayed, I've got better strategises to choose."
*Tails' confessional*
The fox was very much tired.
"I have no idea what the beef is between them, but I can tell it's rather thick and considering who we've got...apparently, we've rivals!" Tails shouted. "Hopefully, it should motivate us."
*Storm Shadow's confessional*
"Despite finding my enemy and helping to bring food to these contestants, it is not surprising that my team dislikes me. Unlike some people, I don't just switch teams
*Confessional cut*
The voting discussion was completely different, mostly because the air was hot with random votes and an notable amount of bullshit between each other...in the trees.
"Your face is ugly and stupid, therefore I'm gonna vote you off!" Yuri declared to someone. "What do you think of that?"
"You just gave me a reason to vote you off." Sonja answered, quite literally not having time for her words.
"I know what you're thinking. You think you can get the best of me?" Yuri asked.
"Yes." Sonja answered exasperatedly. "Also, I'm not going to vote you out, calm down."
"Oh...then let's vote off the guy that screwed up." Yuri stated, as Sonja nodded to that. "And we're going to beat Kasumi's ass."
While the discussion on beating the butt of her team's rival was happening, there was three very different people with the same idea.
"Ayo, I heard that I was up on the chopping block and I ain't done shit yet!" Riley shouted, ready to team up with someone. "I'm gonna get myself an alliance!"
"Good, So who you want to team up with?" Tanya asked.
"You...'cause I like the way you think and some other niggas should be in here." Riley said with confidence, ready to bring some shots. "But I'm going to be running this alliance."
"And with what strategy?" Tanya remarked.
"The best strategy you've ever seen! Gotta think it up, tho." Riley just jumped out of the location to meet up with a displeased Penny. "Penny, we're up in this shit."
Tanya looked unsurprised at his lack of intellegence and turned around to see someone that she didn't expect.
"Hello."
"Hello to you, bitch!" Catalina shouted. "I heard you use a gun like it's nothing."
"I do...what's the problem?" Tanya asked with a smirk, not intimidated by an adult.
"...Okay, tell me the stupid man who put you to it and I'm-." Catalina said quite angrily.
"I am!" Tanya said. "Sometimes, you have to get to the good life."
The two of them were looking at each other for a good second or two before the Latina lady realised something.
"I like the way you think, but I'm still going to win the money." Catalina shouted minus a gun. "I don't like the way that child's acting like he knows shit."
"Well...I'm also voting for him." Tanya remarked. "Which is quite the coincidence."
"Oh, you got the idea from me! So, why don't you team up with me and you get some of the money, because you be stealing my vote!" Catalina shouted. "I'm about to steal that shit!"
"Sure, you can try..."
Catalina just jumped down a story like it wasn't a big deal, as Tanya wasn't that surprised at her behaviour and Samus came up to her with two proposals that were real quiet.
So quiet that the camera crew could only extract some words from the tense bounty hunter and the teenage lieutenant.
"Me and a few other people are voting for Spike and Sonja, because I believe that Riley has potential for a challenge-winning moment." Tanya said. "And I believe you and your boyfriend can vote for him.
"And I don't see how Riley is going to help anyone, while Sonja is already helping Yuri to vote for him." Samus spat. "We both have already determined our own votes, so it's too late."
"That's fine. I'll just make a case for Riley."
"You go ahead and try it."
The two of them walked away professionally.
*Tanya's confessional*
The blonde child soldier had a certain smirk on her face.
"Not only am I part of an alliance, but somehow she's going to run it. I'll just bring Ram and together, we will suggest actually good ideas...and bring it to Catalina through Ram. Even if I have to share the money..."
*Confessional cut*
The Crows were only slightly more organised and that wasn't without some trying from Mikasa, Sandy and Kipo calming some butts down.
"Guys, guys, guys, you guys need to get your butts into action!" Sandy shouted. "Unless someone's quitting, we need to vote for two people."
"Really, the girl who gave someone the tools to sabotage everyone?" Shego asked. "Cool."
"I didn't see you doing anything to stop that." Sandy said.
"Because everyone was trying to stay awake." Shego remarked. "Save it, Texas."
"Not doing anything is a pretty good reason to vote for you."
And it was back to poorly made arguements in the house of food that no other team has inhabiting.
"Right now, we need to calm make some good votes and if we all vote for each other, someone that is very important to the team could be eliminated." Mikasa answered. "Besides Kageyama is apparently quitting."
"...Well, not really, but me being here is just distracting you guys from some decent votes, so shut it." Kageyama grumbled, as Kyo slapped his back.
"That is also a decent arguement, but you really saved us with your skills. You never know when your skills will be needed in the future." Mikasa told him.
"What skills? What, am I going to spike a zombie or something?" Kageyama said.
"Maybe you could."
"I have no idea what you're talking about then." Kageyama answered. "Besides most of you have some weird-ass niche skills."
"Skating isn't weird-ass, you volleyball-loving dumbass!" Gum snapped, showing that she was in fact here. "I just haven't got the chance to show it off, yet."
"Cool, then get a chance to show it off." Kageyama remarked. "Haida...why are you even here?"
"The same reason that everybody is...to get three million dollars." Haida answered. "Also, no-one on the court did bad, they just got outplayed today."
"And you sucked ever since you got here, just that no-one noticed that you were sucking." Gum told the hyena guy.
"Well, er...I wasn't that bad in some of the challenge." Haida replied. "And if you're going to stay here, please contribute to the challenge."
"That's easy!" Gum shouted. "Just sit back here and watch!"
And while that was happening, there was definitely quite a few bits of discussion going around about players like Haida, Kageyama, Giovanni, Sandy and Owen...all of it still unorganised.
*Kyo's confessional*
The brown-haired fighter looked serious.
"Sorry, Owen, but aside from eating all of the food and being positive, what do you even do here?" Kyo asked. "Nah, I know you do nothing."
*Terry's confessional*
The guy sighed.
"I'm not going to mess with Giovanni, Genos or Sakura, because those three are all cool people and probably could help the team out before the merge...as for me, I've gotta vote for Owen. Dude's been in five of eight seasons and he hasn't done anything in this one." Terry explained. "
*Owen's confessional*
"You know who I'm voting for? That Kageyama guy...he's scary!" Owen shouted, before chuckling. "But I'll never vote for Soma."
*Confessional cut*
It was later in the day, the sun going down in a hastily made medical area with beds that were operational and working.
Tendou was just hanging in the medical area with his back messed up and Ushijima, chilling like bros would and Kageyama and Hinata were probably arguing about who would be the better contestant in the background.
And the two young adults were just talking.
"So, how did you get here?" Ushijima asked.
"I just wanted to get some money by being an intern and suddenly I'm a contestant." Tendou remarked. "And look at me now."
"You literally fainted in the middle of the court."
"You know how it is, sometimes you really get hurt in order to win." Tendou said. "I can't believe that the medical guy healed back to normal."
He moved his body around like he usually would, as the other volleyball players were staring at his already healed body.
"...You're gonna quit?" Ushijima said, knowing the obvious.
"Not really, I've got three million reasons not to."
"Well, I am happy that you're somehow fine."
Hinata and Kageyama were borderline glaring at this point, as Chef and some blue Germanic doctor with gloves and some kind of medical gun were coming back.
"Wait, does the host not care about this or not?" Hinata asked. "Because that guy is messed up!"
"Yeah." Kageyama said. "Also, I'm not quitting for you, dumbass!"
"Well, you should!" Hinata complained. "Besides most of the people are voting for you."
"What...I told them to not do that." Kageyama remarked. "Don't tell me it's your fault."
Kageyama looked at Tendou.
"You got butt mad that you lost, so accept the fact that I'm staying!" Tendou remarked, healed and all.
"Shut up, other dumbass!"
Finally Chef and Medic were back and the former of the duo was plain surprised, as the latter was real smug about his achievement.
"What-He couldn't even move an hour ago!" Chef shouted. "Please tell me you didn't do any crazy shit to him!"
"I did not, dear Chef Hatchet. I just healed him with mein gun and now he's standing fine!" Medic exclaimed, as Tendou high-fived him. "And now Chris gets to do the double elimination!"
"Shut up, you fool. You don't get paid enough to this!"
"I get paid by someone else. So, the pay does not matter." Blue Medic proclaimed, as he put the laser towards Tendou...who felt powerful. "And my reasearch help this guy get back up."
"I don't know what your deal is, but I ain't happy about it!"
*Hinata's confessional*
The red-haired volleyball player was there.
"...Wait, how does that gun make that guy get back to normal?!" Hinata shouted. "Must be fake and gay!"
*Tendou's confessional*
The guy just stretched both arms out in the confessional.
"That's right I'm back in this fun, crazy and dangerous game-" The guy took a sniff. "-Wow, this reeks!"
*Confessional cut*
"Owen, Kageyama, Haida, Shego, Sakura and Kyo of the Crows and Ram, Riley, Sonja, Luigi, Aisling and Spike of the Deers...report to the campfire ceremony for your regularly scheduled double elimination!" Chris announced.
And soon enough, they were all there in the night...complete with some confused looks and some unsurprised looks.
"Wait, I wonder...who's going to be sent home?" Spike asked.
"You, because you're ugly!" Aisling shouted at him, as the dragon was fuming.
"So, why I am here? What did I do so wrong?" Owen asked. "Did I eat too much of the food."
Spike and Aisling were just looking at each other.
"Alright, potentially eliminated contestants, four of you are about to leave these isles and hilariously, some of you bombed the volleyball challenge...quite literally too!"
"The rest of you are about to get the marshmellow, the doughy goodness of safety and the sweet of staying another day on this island. The four with the most votes should be slingshotted shamefully, never to return!"
The twelve were paying some serious attention, especially Shego.
"How many one-shot votes did you get?" Shego asked.
"Only one...but Shego and Luigi, you both have one vote apiece!"
Shego just caught hers, as Luigi catched his.
"Alright, I won't mess up again for my Daisy!" Luigi enthusiastically declared.
"Nice votes that some of you guys have made." Shego remarked, as Kageyama and Kyo were smugly grinning. "I'm gonna give you some reasons to regret those votes."
"Kyo and Ram, you both have two votes each."
Kyo snatched his with anger and Ram...looked unsurprised.
"Some people just want me gone for no reason." Ram stated. "Nevertheless, I will go on."
...
...
...
...
Sonja was stoically looking on.
...
Aisling didn't even understand what was happening.
...
Riley was plain pissed off.
...
Sakura was surprised, as was Owen, who was crushing her with a hug.
...
...
...
"Sakura and Aisling, you both also have two votes each."
The two of them were relieved to be safe, Aisling just directly teleporting to the marshmellow and going back without missing a beat.
...
"Owen, Haida and Kageyama...one of you three Crows will be safe from the Sling-Yacht of Shame. And Spike, Sonja and Riley, one of you three Deers will also be the last of your team to be safe."
The tension-filled gap in the dialogue could be heard, as one of them realised that something was very wrong.
"The pair from each team with four votes apiece are..."
Sonja was looking surprised that something had worked, Spike didn't look too surprised and Riley was real confident in that something work.
Owen was stopping the hug, as Kageyama and Haida were both looking at each other with a realisation.
...

...
...

"Haida and Riley...not even joking, Kageyama and Sonja only had one more vote each, like it was real close!" Chris announced. "Owen and Spike, though, you gotta go...along with Kageyama and Sonja."
Sonja just accepted it and took a mean look at Riley, who was just laughing his butt off and Spike was ready to stretch his wings.
The Crows were a little bit more emotional, as while Owen was bawling about not being able to stay for much longer, Kageyama and Haida were having a conversation with each other.
"Hey, I can't blame you for voting for me." Kageyama said, still showing off his anger. "Besides not wanting to be here, why did you vote for me?"
"I really didn't, I voted for that Owen guy. He's been here five times and he's eating up all of the food!" Haida shouted. "Who would vote for you?"
"...I mean, I just want to play some volleyball. Nothing more, nothing less, three million dollars isn't going to change that." Kageyama remarked. "Also, you sound like you need the money more than me."
"What, really? I'm just some guy who does a normal job and lives a normal life." Haida told him, as Kyo was smirking at him. "Do you really think that?"
"Yeah, of course I do. Besides I was gonna quit anyways...I'm not gonna die for a small chance of getting three million." Kageyama remarked angrily. "Kyo and hyena guy, I don't want you to win for me, because I'm gonna win with volleyball!"
"...Alright, I get it. You can't beat me." Kyo had a smirk, as Haida just sighed. "So you decided to leave for a volleyball."
"Hey, don't blame me when I don't have a career ending injury." Kageyama just told them straight up, making it click.
Kyo, Haida and Sakura knew that it made a lot of sense, judging by their content smiles.
"Double Deers and a couple of Crows, your last words?"
"I wasn't here for a long time, but I had a fun time!" Spike shouted. "You guys could say the same thing here, right?"
"Not really." Sonja said. "I did contribute to some plans, but I didn't get into my full potential."
"Chris, please say it's a fluke!" Owen yelled, as Kageyama slapped his face. "I'm sorry."
And the yacht got sling-shotted off into the moonrise (which is a real thing, you dumb guys) and probably is not going to be seen soon at all, with Chris waving to them.
"Alright, this was an long one and a good one. The Crows came from winning every challenge to losing every one, how about that?! And will the Deers finally get their butts in the lead for once? Honestly, will either of the two teams do something about losing? Eheheh, they'll figure that out...in the next episode!"
To be continued in the the basket-filled challenge with involve some serious teamwork and the previously mentioned tri-coupling moments and the drama that's continuing on...in 2022!
However, there's a certain pair of holidays that are coming in 2 weeks and 3 weeks respectively that require a bit of a special relaxing episode...about the contestants that were eliminated.
Why does The Ultimate Holiday Special come in two different parts? Because of the eliminated characters, it's not actually Christmas or New Years in universe and...we're about 30% of the way through the competition.
So enjoy the unique (and seperate) UHS with all of its unique weirdness.
Believe it or not, Haida got fucked over by coincidence, Sonja got set-up, Owen's just...too good at Total Drama apparently and Kageyama wasn't intially going to be eliminated in this episode, but friendships aren't always forever and some people don't want to be in the reality show spotlight.
