Total Drama: Ultimate Islands!
Episode 13: Just Fall Guys and Gals!
Part 1: Gatecrashing The Drama

Fall Guys? "Dead game."

But it is the perfect kind of crossover challenge for Total Drama for obvious reasons and also, a good chance to relax...only a bit, because there's still an absurd amount of obstacles, unique challenges per round.

And all of the drama that's been compiled into the previous twelve episodes, contentious contestants notwithstanding, will be touched on in this episode.

Especially the couples that are on different teams!

In the meanwhile, I'll be looking at the review comments.

Memeking, appreciate the "chad taste" comment and 1602jaw, someone had to say it and also, Fall Guys is the perfect simple challenge. So keep your eyes peeled...not on this chapter necessarily.


"Last time on Total Drama, the contestants landed on an old friend, Boney Island and this time it came with a cursed vengeance, as the campers collected some baskets for..."

A very confused X stood there, having a lot of baskets in the background.

"...something. The flames of love got drowned out by the waters of drama, pain and many, many missed jumps to boot! And broken baskets as well..."

Lynn Loud saw a basket actively break in front of her.

"...The Deers decided to get an extra baskets, while The Crows went for speed in order to avoid eliminating someone. The Deers won for their extra effort and the other teams had to vote and in the end, Lynn from the Rhinos, Haida from the Crows and Squigly or Sienna from the Swordfishes were sent home!"

The three of them were shown stepping up from their seat and then it cut back to Chris in front of a camp that looked...a little less clean than usual.

"After going to a new and improved Boney Island, these guys have come back with...falling moves! Will the Deers keep it up? Will the Rhinos win again? And will the Crows lose again? Find out...right now on Total Drama: Ultimate Islands!"

We're in 2022, the long-awaited third sequel to 2020, so get ready to make friends with unlikely enemies to fight a virus in (insert title here)

-Trailer that I would make, if I was a bit less funny.

It was a new day...actually it was another new day, for the contestants were chilling for the first new day and a lot had happened in the previous day, most of which was terrible.

The Rugged Rhinos were in quite the messy room, all of them in the cabin with some contestants less affected by the incident-filled day than others...the affliction of going wild in last place.

And it hit the team hard in general...in hilarious fashion, as the Texan dad took a look at the very messy cabin.

"Damn, uh, what happened?" Hank asked. "Were you all acting like jackasses?"

"Kinda." Legoshi stated, having a random shirt on his head. "But we were having a good time."

"I ain't even mad, just don't wake everyone up in the middle of the night." Hank told the wolf, as the guy nodded to that. "What did you get even do?"

"I was up, some other people went wild..." Legoshi was sweating a whole lot. "...and I got knocked out."

With that normal conversation happening, the other stuff that was sorta normal was also happening at the same exact time and there was quite a few chucklers at the same old joke.

The same joke from six episodes ago, the old (wo)man being very asleep and not giving a fuck.

"Don't worry, it was funny the first time and funny the third time." Muscle Man whispered, as Harley Quinn was grinning at the Super Crown action.

"I know, right?" Harley whispered.

These two were looking at the bunk bed with an "asleep" Satori Tendou, ready to talk some questionable madness about their somewhat hated teammate.

"Dang, babe, we should team up with Snake if he gets here. He just does stuff and gets it done." Muscle Man said to an displased Harley. "What?"

"Wait, do you call everyone babe?" Harley asked seriously.

"Do you know who else calls everyone babe?"

"Your brother."

Muscle Man just paused.

"My mom!"

And that did not last for a long while, as Harley was tired, Coach(wo)man woke up and the green man chuckled at his questionable joke, ready to face the consequences of his joke.

Muscle Man was still in the middle of a laugh, when all of a sudden the old woman just laughed right back rather proudly and realise that it backfired on someone in hilarious fashion...especially since the laugh woke everyone up.

"Bro, you laugh real loud." Muscle Man grinned. "But you look like a jackass."

"Well then, you look like more of one. Ever since we lost rather soundly, you've been joking up and down in denial and this crown's the real columination of it." Coach(wo)man remarked, her grin coming off proudly. "As for me...I'm rather proud of saving you from-"

"From what, bro. Having the chance to come back and kick your butt?"

"-your only contribution is that and you making good food in a group of four? It was rather good by the way."

"...Okay, do you think I'm gonna join ya or what?" Muscle Man paused for a second. "I'm not and neither are they!"

"Dude, why would anyone announce an alliance in front of everybody?" Rock asked, which got Muscle Man silent. "I've seen reality shows before."

"Hey, some people would."

The whole male side of the Rhinos were just silent at the Muscle Man's...idea, as Coachman just sighed rather seriously.

"It's much funnier to make you keep on doing what you're doing and honestly, you had much better things to do at this time." Coachman said, taking off the Super Crown. "Perhaps, not doing a joke or being a joke."

"Do you always talk to everyone like this?" Muscle Man asked, borderline angry at the sentiment.

"Only walking fools, of which you are that."

The whole men side of the camp was actually paying attention to the early morning conversation, as Rock had no idea what was going on...mostly and others were keeping their eyes peeled on the foolishness that was standing in the middle of the room.

And Harley, who was more than ready to leave, was entranced by this.

*Harley's confessional*

The jester-looking lady was pissed.

"I'm telling you right now, I've seen stuff like this happen more than you think and most of the time it never ends well for the person with the giant ego." Harley exclaimed. "But I'm on a team with that asshole, so I'm stuck helping him."

*Confessional cut*


Speaking of interesting things early in the morning, Yumeko was doing rather interesting gambling moments with some other people from the Deers, some of which were rather confused.

And they were deep into the brush, essentially ensuring that the gambling stayed hidden, playing a stupid deadly game of UNO...mostly because they were undressed in the jungle.

"Strip UNO? Could be worse." Snake said, actually having six cards left. "i still don't get why you're so excited about UNO."

"UNO's about the amount of cards you have, feigning what you have, forcing a move and even using seemingly useless cards against your opponent...in a gamble." Yumeko explained, dropping a powerful +2 card.

"What are you even doing?" Snake asked, picking up two of the cards.

"Look, I do not really know either." Azula stated, only having 1 card. "But you have an impending loss."

"Yes...are you here for a potential alliance?" Samus cut straight to the point...as Azula actually put down a fully mismatched card (A green 2 to a yellow 7 on the ground.) "If so, we've got better options."

The silence was potent, as the card turned around with simple, but shifty moves...besides Yumeko obviously hiding one card for some reason.

"I would, but right now, my alliance is still going strong. But you shouldn't figure out who." Azula said, dropping down the winning card. "My team will take the next challenge like we both took this game."

"Trust me, you've given us enough info to make that a possible loss." Snake ensured that this game was done and dusted.

He had 3 left, Yumeko had a dangerous pair, Samus actually checked out on that turn and it was...strip UNO.

And Snake managed to get...

"Another plus two! This game's really starting to get good!" Yumeko exclaimed, which got Snake tired.

At this point, he could cut the losses, but...it was like the girl was staring right through his soul, which wasn't far off from the truth...and Azula had won, so...Yumeko actually won by dropping a matching card.

Thusly...

"Give me some info about what your gameplan is!" Yumeko was really getting the super-soldier mad. "You wouldn't go back on the agreement, else you'd be targetted."

"Look, me and Samus are doing our own things on the same team, that's all you're getting." Snake just got up and went. "And we plan to guess the next one."

And so did Samus...as there was one realisation that went through Azula's head.

"You seriously had to gamble them?" Azula asked, quite angry.

"Oh, yes and it was enjoyable...and I could figure what they were doing." Yumeko said. "Who knew that David Snake and Samus Aran would be good at this?"

"I mean..."

Azula looked at the gambling addict seriously, still pissed off.

"...something tells me that you didn't just do it for kicks."

"Actually, I just did and you just happened to learn a lot about how those work."

The leaders of Azula's Angels (named without her consent, of course) were going back, one of them figuring that the other was a madwoman of sorts.

*Yumeko's confessional*

She had a rather placated smile.

"It's rather dull being here despite all of the new friends that have come to challenge me...and helping my alliance out with the gamble! But those who'd be the best at it would be on the other alliance." Yumeko explained. "So it'd help if they weren't eliminated either."

*Confessional cut*


The rest of the Deers, though, were having a much better time in the Arts and Crafts hut, also known as Azwel's hiding place when he was here anyways and there was even upbeat music playing.

Tanjiro cheerfully used his Total Concentration Breathing, focusing in all of his senses...to do the limbo, as practically the whole team was hanging out and

"Oh my god, he's going to limbo hard!" Riley shouted, seeing that the demon slayer struggled to go under.

"Do not distract him, please." Ram said...

...right before Tanjiro fell down and she looked at her fellow alliance partner.

"It was your fault."

"Nah, that ain't true. My nigga was gonna fall down anyways." Riley snapped right back. "And can you limbo?"

"I certainly can do that." Ram stated, confident in her leaning abilities. "This celebration will be short lived."

"And we appreciated that time!" Riley exclaimed, as Ram was less excited to deal with the kid. "Come on, we're in this shit and we finally won. That ain't a good enough reason to limbo?"

"I don't degrade myself to that level."

"Ram, you're just mad that I can limbo harder than you." Yuri just poked into the conversation to point at the pink-haired maid, who was unintimidated.

And she left as quickly as she came into the conversation, the karate girl going back to her friends AKA the trio that both didn't do anything and did everything, judging by their confident grins and willing to talk about...something.

Probably about the team's only win, which Catalina and Tanya joined the two rowdy kids to do some things...or more than likely, move to a more private place.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Catalina practically shouted, as the other three knew what was up. "Lemme show you something."

"We got it." Tanya stated, as the other three were nodding. "Let's go."

"I'm about to limbo in this shit!"

The Lucky Deers actually managed to completely mis-read the situation, as people were looking at 'em, the Short Ladies (Yuri, Mystique Sonia and Uraraka) actually had some suspicions and Azwel didn't really have one thing to say.

The team was completely silent, but they were all smiles about knowing their butts were safe and had some time to chill.

And then.

"Campers, we've got another good challenge today! Trust me, it is good."

"At least we all ate." Tanya remarked, taking the time to shed some attention off them. "Wait, where are those two?"

"Nah, I know what they're doing." Catalina said. "Give 'em some time."

*Catalina's confessional*

"You know what, if they're late, I've got some womanly skills and womanly needs! And those putas are gonna think twice about me."

*Confessional cut*


"Can you guys guess what the challenge is?"

All of the contestants besides Snake and Samus were there and didn't have an answer.

"Hah, let me show you!" Chris announced, actually pulling down a wall...with Snake and Samus standing behind it. "Give me some screen time, 'cause I deserve it!"

The spy and the super-soldier were going back to the eighty-two other remaining contestants, as to allow space for the host to do his egocentric thing.

"Inspired by Fall Guys, I decide to do those courses in real life...and way better than they ever could by the way! That's right, we've got multiple dangerous mini-courses this time around with those iconic McLean touches."

"Uh, you sure?"

Tifa asked, seeing that it was indeed Gate Crash, but made on the cheap, the softness included...which was definitely apparent with the slightly flimsy gates and the wood that could cause splinters.

And the obvious additions like water pools, ladders and some taller walls.

"Yes. Not everybody can finish this course, because there's a ten minute time limit...or much funnier, 70 of you will pass...Gate Crash! Wherever all of the team passes or not, that's just how it is. Only one team can win and at the end of these bunch of courses, the person who takes the crown...makes their team safe."

All of the contestants just gave their clap, a good chunk of them sarcastic and the rest genuine.

"Seriously, dudes, this was hard! You have two minutes to get prepared or something." Chris told the 84 remaining players, as he got grabbed by a drone. "See ya, dudes."

There was definitely one thing that was easily noticed thanks to Chris actually pointing it out.

Snake and Samus suddenly appearing out of nowhere and Azula taking a mental note about it.


The two other couples were taking the two minutes to have a bit of a talk, willing to do some of that communication...or an attempt at it in the case of Rock.

"Uh...you look cool." Rock said.

"Um, thanks!" Clover shouted. "It's so in this season and like, I like to look good while winning this!"

"Nice...you know what I do." Rock remarked, leaning on the wooden wall and imitating writing some notes. "Write some songs, girl."

"Chill, we're on that level yet." Clover said, stopping things from getting awkward. "Like, we've just got started."

"Oh...okay."

And as for the other one, they were planning on having a good time.

"I'm going to assume you know this course from this video game thing." Mikasa stated, as Pit and Miko nodded. "So, you should at least try to make it through."

"Shut up, I will-" Miko yelled.

"Nah, we will do it." Pit declared with a smile and with an arm on Miko. "If there's one thing that we can do is prove our usefulness and have fun at the same time!"

Miko and Mikasa took a moment to take in the words.

"Good words, Pit." Miko said.

"Then every one of us should step up, then." Mikasa stated.

And both couples were more than prepared to run into some gates along with a good chunk of the rest of the players and other weren't excited to hit some walls.

Soma and Noah didn't look too excited to deal with a bunch of slow moving gates, a extremely slippery slide near the end and the jump after the slide...but they kept their heads about them.

As best as they could.

"So, you wanna-"

"No, especially if it's coming from you."

And of course, as the time had come up, Chef was on the speakers...doing his best to conceal his pay-related frustation and everyone was on the starting line.

Ready to get their boots on the ground, faces on the gates and hands off the slime.

"Three. Two. Forget it, because Y'ALL BETTER GO!" Chef announced over the loudspeakers. "Get moving, dumbasses!"


And immediately stuff got happening, the strongest started to get trampled and the weakest were running as fast as they could...in this challenge where the fastest runners and minds combined will get ahead.

And then Tiny Tina just bomb-jumped over one of them with Sakura trying to do the same with her Sho'ouken...and missed.

"Suck it, karate ladies!" Tina shouted. "I'm not going out 'cause of butts!"

"My butt is not noteworthy!" Yuri declared, actually running through the open gate.

"Only 70 of you people can pass before the time reaches ten minutes! You guys aren't deaf, right! Also, no flying over everything and I do mean, FLYING!"

The two potential rivals just heard that announcement and knew that the other host was not having a good time, but they were definitely having one.

They weren't part of the top ten or even fifteen however, as Joseph, Falco and Tails were part of the top five that were desperate to make a comeback of sorts.

And they were also far past the big gates and moving onto the small gates on the left split path...high above the water...still far behind the confident Storm Shadow, sure of his ninja prowess.

The ninja jumped on top of the gates with precision and skill, most of which was used to speed around the course

"I swear I forget you can run way faster than me." Falco remarked, nestled in third.

"Doesn't matter when you can't hop over the gates." Tails said, right in second. "Like he can, though."

"Damn...what a move." Falco said.

The Hamon user was in second, hopping over another gate like it wasn't a big deal and Falco almost did the same thing and landed perfectly and right after that, Tails went through one of the small gates.

The three of them were there and Reg...also made it, using his extended arm to pull over the fourth set of gates, standing there to ensure that they weren't getting messed up by the slide.

"Hey, Tails, how the heck are you so fast?" Reg asked surprisingly.

"...I just use my two tails." Tails explained with a smile.

"Yeah, I kinda forgot there, but it's fine." Reg stated.

The two of them finally slid down the slide, as there was some one that had crossed the line a long time ago and couldn't care less about it and obviously he saw a chance to do some sabotage.

Storm Shadow threw some kunai, but it wasn't tricking the cognizant duos of friendly duos just about managed to jump at the right time and one of them smashed into the top of a gate.

Falco actually jumped through, but Joseph got hit in the stomach and rolled onto the finish line.

"Well, that was weak." Storm Shadow stated. "I don't see how you can beat me."

"Just you wait..."

Joseph got up to say that.

"...I've got plenty of tricks up my sleeve!"

The top four were set and then the fifth person came in and it wasn't that surprising either, as Luigi obviously jumped over all of the things and into a talk.

"Party tricks, maybe, but your weakness is very obvious."

"The only weakness I have is that I love myself too much, so you better watch your mouth."

Luigi sat away from the rest of 'em, quickly joined by Samus and Samurai Jack, who sat right next to him...as they witnessed a one-challenge rivalry between a jokester hero and an uncaring ninja.

Spots in the next mini-challenge: 8/70

*Falco's confessional*

The blue bird had a smile.

"Dang, to go toe to toe with a ninja like that? Joseph must either have some massive balls or a very small brain...and I don't know which one's better for me and the guy!" Falco declared.

*Confessional cut*


A minute had passed and there was a lot of people that had passed by now...as Genos, Mikasa, Pit, Miko and Shego were the five from the Crows alone that passed and there was others in the mix too that were good with the jumps...and either hit the rising gate in the face or fell off entirely.

Giovanni was actually swimming to get back to the top of the slide...as was Tanjiro, who tried to do the same thing.

"I can't believe you want to be a bad guy!" Tanjiro shouted.

"Being a good guy's overrated, villainy is where it's at!" Giovanni exclaimed.

"No it is not. I'm slaying demons back at home!"

"...Man, how do I get in that?"

And then they managed to bump into each other on the ladders, Tanjiro going after the wannabe villain and these two climbed back up to the slippery slide.

Spots in the next mini-challenge: 27/70

The two of them took some time to take a bit of a breather, considering that there was a lot of mis-timed jumps, which led to team powerhouse players just flopping into the water under the slime jump.

Giovanni just went for it, as Tanjiro didn't really stop him from jumping and instead watched the rest of the contestants intently.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, why are you standing here?" Robyn asked.

"Because I want the best of us to pass this one. I can sense that most of this team are good guys!" Tanjiro exclaimed, as Robyn got plainly...uncomfortable.

"Alright, I'm going to jump..."

The wolfwalker slid down the slide and then jumped awkwardly off into the goal platform, prompting the demon slaying kid to get pushed by someone that proudly grinned at his strategic push.

Giovanni just fell and Tanjiro used his breathing to provide a really high jump...to circumvent the final gates anyways and to finish.

"Good job, Robyn!" Tanjiro declared.

"We fell off together, it's not that good of a job." Robyn stated.

"Can't I cheer on my friends?"

"We're just teammates, nothing too big."

The demon slayer looked crestfallen at his misreading of the situation, as Yuri just slapped him on the back and got him back on track...the karate girl not too pleased with Tanjiro's words.

*Yuri's confessional*

The karate girl with pigtails smirked.

"He said that he comes from the countryside, which makes me, because he's acting like a real country boy. Even if it's just a Japanese one, that's still weird."

*Confessional cut*

Spots filled: 35/70

Gate Crash was by far the easiest of the challenges that Chris was going to serve up today and it was sunny too, so things were actually going pretty fast considering that it was no game.

Noah passed. Hank Hill had passed.

Though they didn't do too good with the jumps, hitting right on top of the gates at the end, they had passed along with the volleyball players and even Heavy.

And some others have not done that and these two just happened be on opposing alliances and the same team.

"Quit being stupid, it's a slide and a jump, how hard can that be?" Tron asked.

"If it's easy street, then you ain't any less stupid than me." Pinstripe remarked, actually getting Tron to turn her head. "So, let's be stupid together and finish this."

"I agree with that at least."

The two of them decided to book down the slippery slope, slipping and sliding all over the places...with some more players deciding to go through while that was happen.

That didn't matter as they both jumped at the same time by accident...

...and nailed it, running into the finish line.

Spots filled: 45/70

Tron Bonne got slapped by Harley, though not seriously and Pinstripe received a double five from Dante, which meant that more than half of the team had passed at this point.

"Goddamn rockstars beating my butt." Pinstripe complained. "And this kind of game, this game sucks."

"Boo-hoo, you're not the fittest weasel in the field." Harley mocked the potoroo. "Doesn't matter that you beat the old man."

"He literally can't jump for shit...but never say never."

"Damn, you're insecure."

The 47 contestants had done, Khun and Aisling joined the set amount of players that had done the challenge quick...and the time limit was definitely nearing the end.

Especially since there was a little bit too much space for 70 players, but there wasn't exactly enough money in the world and Chris cared very little.

"Y'all got three minutes left and I don't care how you complain!"

*Eva's confessional*

The angry fighter looked unimpressed.

"There goes Chris and his lackey, trying to make us mad and luckily, I'm not slow enough to care...not even close. Got top ten with Ryuko beating my ass."

*Ryuko's confessional*

She just wiped a bead of sweat off.

"Well, that wasn't dangerous. Up your game, Chris?"

*Confessional cut*


Did it matter that Coachman had little chance of making it?

Not exactly, as the vast majority of the rest actually cared about the competition and weren't fast enough to make it quick...and he had one thing that they lacked.

Or the other way around, because it was the lack of ethics.

He did an unethical shoulder bash towards B, who was working on a booster sole and was slipping and sliding towards the edge of the slimy section and then decided to go right after him.

Though B had the foresight to put his arms up and jump right at the end of the slippery slope...hitting the top of the platform.

"Oooh, that was lame!" Tiana shouted. "And surprisingly helpful."

Spots that are filled: 58/70 and the clock's down to two and a half minutes.

"Beverley would like to thank you for the accidental assist. Even if your intentions were malicious." Dawn explained, which got Tiana to look at her incredulously. "I can sense it."

"But you don't-"

The two of them definitely noticed the old villain hit the gate in the face...again and fell off...again and went right back to the usual.

"-you don't have to explain it."

"That is understandable."

In the water, Coachman could definitely see what was up there...some more players that were wet, but finally had the jump to make it and he knew what he had to do.

Especially since a certain alliance found his flailings just funny enough to do an obvious chuckle.

Spots remaining: 6/70.

The clock? a single minute by the way he climbed out of the water and onto the ladder.

"You blokes have no faith in me...so, I'll give you a reason why."

"Nice, you better get there before I do." Snufkin taunted him, just finally getting past the normal gates.

The malicious grin came back, as Snufkin sped down the slide with his boots...and tripped on the way down into the water.

"You got thirty seconds left!" Chef announced. "Heheh."

"Then that's all I need." Coachman said, calmly stepping onto the slimy slide...standing smug.

He went down for the sixth time, jumped off and got carried enough by the momentum to actually make it to the other side, though not without his gut getting hit by the gate.

"Dang, that's what I like to see!" Chef stated, enjoying the villain's pain. "Anyways, time's up! You 16 guys who suck at jumps? You out!"

The people that either sighed or smashed something in frustation knew that their time was up...as Ram and Tanya looked at the 68 contestants that were on the other side of the gated wall.

"Yeah, you heard what he said?" Riley asked the two people that couldn't make it.

"Yes, you idiot." Ram told the black kid.

"Bro, I know that I'm not a genius, but you don't have to get mad because you lost!"

"Well, your presence does make me less pleased."

*Dante's confessional*

The white-haired demon hunter did not look excited.

"Of course, he makes it last minute. I swear this guy, who hasn't won a challenge in nearly two weeks, is something else and I don't think that's good for anyone. Except maybe me...maybe."

*Confessional cut off by...*

Chris was in another place, ready to rework the future mini-challenges into a danger-filled zone of platforming, chaos and pushing and Chef had a microphone and a scowl of underpayment.

"The 68 of you pass...but which one of you will take the win for your team and guarantee your safety! And also, anyone within the top six is safe."

The host with the most turned off the microphone to the contestants, as Chef loosened his own shoulders a bit.

"There's bound to be treachery, platforming and teamwork...so stay tuned for the other challenges!"


To be continued in the second part of this game show-ish episode and there's a lot to be addressed to be in the next part...like three more challenges,
