Yo everyone and welcome to another episode of Total Drama Knightfall! Again,thank you all so much for the feedback, the support, and the reviews last episode and for everyone waiting patiently for this next one! I will have to admit that this episode is a bit more underwhelming than the recent three episodes (most likely due to plotline) but I hope you guys will still like it.

Enjoy!


Episode 4: L'amour Sur La Quai


Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doing fine

The camera zooms into the two large entrance doors of Manoria. Chris immediately greeted the camera with a malicious smirk on his face.

You guys are on my mind

The view now shows the living room, where Laila was seated on the couch with her legs up on the ottoman. Maelle comes in and serves her tea, but accidentally trips, causing the tea to spill on both girls.

You asked me what I wanted to be

The tea splashes onto the camera (luckily the camera is tea-proof) and it washes away to reveal us a view of a bedroom. Gerald was busy looking at himself in the mirror but suddenly turns around due to someone tapping him on the shoulder. The person doing so was Foster. Gerald immediately hid behind on what or who seemed like another being known as Allan. Foster blinks at the sight, and as soon as he opened his eyes again, they were gone.

And now I think the answer is plain to see

The camera now zooms through the window to get a view of the garden. Pandora was seen taking a picture of a beautiful chrysanthemum flower patch when Tala unknowingly passes by. This causes Pandora to snap a picture of Tala by accident. The two girls looked at each other before slightly blushing and looked away.

I wanna be famous

In another part of the garden, we can see Fridge, Aditi, and Jessica playing with a ball. Fridge throws the ball towards Jessica with a powerful force. Luckily for Jessica, she was able to duck down just in time as the ball flew past her, however, it hits Aditi who was behind her, sending the shorter girl flying towards a flower patch.

I wanna live close to the sun

The scene changes to the study room where Sheldon was busy reading and calculating stuff from a book. To his dismay, Rory and Sua were on the other side of the room jamming to music, with Rory slamming his hands on a table to the beat to improvise drumming and Sua singing, or rather, screaming some lyrics.

Well, pack your bags 'cause I've already won

Sheldon became angry and crumpled up a piece of paper to throw at the two. Hector however passes by the room on his wheelchair with Jace pushing it and Hector is accidentally hit on the head with the paper. This causes Jace to send a glare towards Sheldon.

Everything to prove, nothing in my way

Back outside just near the forest that was near the manor was Tyler with a hunting bow and arrow with him, ready to aim and shoot. Suddenly, Jeremy scares him from behind by singing and acting out some gestures from musicals… with a hand drawn clown mask on his face. Tyler accidentally shoots aimlessly towards a tree, sending birds flying away, which now surprises the musical nerd.

I'll get there one day

The scene cuts to Wyonetta who was now in a dark room. She looked cautiously everywhere with a flashlight on her hand and began to step backwards as a sign of almost wanting to run out of the room. When she turned back, she accidentally ran into Eli, who was a bit shocked by her running into him but nonetheless bore a smirk on his face.

'Cause I wanna be famous

In the foyer, Summer was seen putting a disk on a phonograph. She smiled, giving the audience a sign that music began playing from the phonograph though no one can hear as what we are hearing right noe is the theme song. A hand then was in front of her, in a 'may I have this dance?' kind of motion. Summer looked up and saw Pierre who wore a smile on his face. She gladly accepted his offer and the two began to dance.

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na!

In one of the bedrooms, Laverne was seen trying on some outfits she brought along with her. Naka was also watching her do so, complimenting on how the model looked. Laverne then gave Naka an outfit to try on as she thought it would fit her but Naka's expression says otherwise.

I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous

Dustin was back in the basement, looking at the room full of the Manorian treasures. The only light source in the room then begins to run out, resulting in only pure darkness.

I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous

The darkness clears up, revealing a rather ghostly being looking much like a human, only a ghost or some spirit. He had grayish hair, and a blue outfit that made him look like some kind of royal guard. It cannot be Dimetrius, right?

*whistling in tune*

Mist takes over the screen and eventually clears up as the cast now gathered up in the foyer's main staircase for a cast picture. As the camera snapped the picture, the words Total Drama Knightfall showed up on screen.


The camera cuts to the cast exiting out of the bus. They had retreated from Manoria behind the cameras so that there wouldn't be possible controversial discussions about the season all over the media… Then again, everything was controversial since almost every single thing was caught on camera a few hours ago.

Once everyone was out of said bus, the view showed then standing before a tall lighthouse with its lights blaring on to the dark horizon.

"We're going to be staying here… until we get Manoria sorted out." Chris shudders as he mentioned the manor. "Actually, now that I think about it, I think we should stay here."

He gestured to the remaining cast to which they all bear mixed expressions. Some were having second thoughts of pressing forward into the season, while others were surprisingly okay with it.

Chris had a map of what it seemed like the lighthouse itself. He may have got it from the guard. "Listen up, all staff and interns will take the first floor. Chevaliers get the second floor, Ritter gets third and Lytsari gets fourth. NO ONE is allowed to go above that. Understand?"

The cast all nodded in understanding.

"Okay then, you all can go ahead and start unpacking. The next challenge will be tomorrow at ten in the morning."

Dustin nudged an elbow to the host. "Hey, don't you think we should give this a bit of a break?"

"We can't do that, we need to keep the show going." Chris answered him, earning a sigh of defeat from Dustin.

"Noted…"


The Chevaliers were busy unpacking a few of their things. They have also been provided some sleeping bags from the staff so having to sleep on the wooden floor isn't so much of an option unless you're a huge fan of the floor.

Foster was pacing back and forth with both of his hands placed on his head.

"I think I'm going to go crazy. Very crazy. Seriously, what in the heck just happened back there? The palace, I mean." the survivalist breathed.

"Do you guys think Dimetrius could be finding us?" Tyler asked the team and turned his attention to Gerald, who was just staring at the window in front of him, the cold midnight air blowing on their faces.

"He could." Jeremy shrugged. He walked up to Gerald and gave him a reassuring oat in the back. "Hey Gerald, I'm sure Allan will be okay-"

"You can't be so sure about that, Jeremy." Gerald snapped at the musical nerd. "And what if he's not okay? I will probably blame you guys for hurting his feelings. If his feelings weren't hurt at the fact that you guys kept on saying he doesn't exist, then he would stay with us instead of joining that pathetic excuse of a ghost in the first place!"

Everyone in the team visibly flinched over at Gerald's sudden outburst.

"Gerald, you have to take note of the fact that Allan looked like he was forced to join him. Dimetrius did say that he was going to gather everyone of his kind so this could mean that he may have roped Allan into it." Tyler explained. This may have helped Gerald calm down a bit as he stayed silent and looked back on the window.

Meanwhile, Tala was in the bathroom with Pandora, looking for first aid. The bathroom was way too small, but then again, lighthouses weren't supposed to have bathrooms as most would say.

"Does it still hurt?" Tala asked the photographer as she found a bandage.

"Not much, actually." Pandora answered. "I mean, I can walk and run and move it just fine. It will just sting a bit though if I touch it."

The mathematician grabbed two bandages and placed them on the cut in Pandora's leg. Thanks to Tala's gentleness, she didn't wince one bit. Instead, she gave her a gleaming smile.

"Thank you."

Tala could only smile back as she could feel fireworks sparking in her heart.


Tala (Chevaliers): "Oh my god, stop it Tala!" she cried.


With the Ritters, everyone was awkwardly silent as they all unpacked some of their things.

"So… do you guys think we're going to be here for long?" asked Hector as tried his best to set his sleeping area: a nearby bench. "This is going to be one long night."

"This place is so filthy." Laila grimaced as she let her sleeping bag down. She widened her eyes in horror as she saw a dust bunny. "Ugh, someone get this thing out of my sight!"

"Do it yourself, yeesh." Jessica rolled her eyes as she got ready to sleep.

This response from the wrangler made the snob march forward towards her.

"Excuse me?"

"Listen Laila, you may have been of help a while ago, but right now, you're not. You should consider our situation right now and don't expect everything to be all el grande and five-stars." Jessica retorted.

This finally caused the snob to keep quiet.

"Ha-"

"Don't even start, Laverne. We're kinda annoyed at you two bickering a lot now and last time you two did it, you placed someone in danger." Jessica added.

Laverne merely shrugged. "Well, sorry then."

"I wish you two would stop…" Aditi sighed.

"Yeah, this isn't funny you know." Eli added.

"Don't worry friends, not all fights last forever!" Fridge optimistically answered.


Hector (Ritter): "Gotta admit that I admired how Jessica handled that situation. I might not even be able to keep them quiet myself." he chuckles.


"I know we won last challenge…" Wyonetta began as she sat on a sleeping bag. "But WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?"

"Dimetrius did a ritual when we first step foot into the grand hall." Sheldon implied. "But we couldn't hear what else he said until we went in the throne room."

"What else did you guys hear?" asked Rory.

"Not that much until you guys came actually." Wyonetta shrugged.

Jace slumped on his sleeping bag. "I am so glad we didn't stay there for a long time. Otherwise we would have been toast right now."

"Actually…" Maelle cut in. "If we never went to Maze Palace then none of this would have happened."

"Who's big idea was to host a challenge therr anyway?" Pierre asked obnoxiously.

"Obviously Chris." Summer sighed.


Pierre (Lytsari): "Well at least I got next to Naka. I mean…"


Summer (Lytsari): "I'm just glad no one REALLY got hurt. Maybe except for the Chevaliers, but still. Remember last night? Sua would've gotten hurt bad if I wasn't there. I wonder what is she doing now…"


The night went by extremely slowly for the majority of the cast. Did they get some sleep? Certainly not. There were some nooks and crannies in the lighthouse that prevented them from getting some sleep (the noisy waves in the shore was one factor).

Chris and Dustin stood by the docks all sleepy and drowsy as they did not get any sleep as well judging by all the dark circles and bags under their eyes. They could only look at the contestants who were on their way to where they were standing.

"Camp- knights. Hoo, good morning." Chris said with a heavy and sleepy yawn afterwards. "I'm sure that no one here got any sleep but we pretty much have to get on with the show since the producers decided not to cancel it."

"Now that's just bogus." Laila complained tiredly before rubbing her eyes.

"So you're saying we're doing another challenge right after we just got out of Manoria?" Wyonetta whined, the hockey player not liking the idea all too much. She only received a nod from Chris for an answer, forcing out a complaining groan from her.

"It's probably not gonna be that hard." Foster shrugged. "Maybe it'll help us get back into the swing of things."

As a lot of chatter rose up between the castmates, Dustin cleared his throat so loud that it got everyone's attention and silenced them.

"Thank you." Chris yawned before continuing his sentences of instruction. "Anyway, before I was so rudely interrupted by a lot of you, this challenge will be much different from our previous challenges since we're gonna need some… food."

The contestants all looked at each other, each one of them anticipating what challenge they would have to do in order to get them some food.

"You guys will go on these boats; The S.S. CML, S.S. McL, and S.S. LCM" Chris began, pointing at three mini ships enough to fit around ten people. Each mini ship had a flag of their respective team logo. "You will assign two people from your team to dive into the water using the snorkels on your ship and you will try to gather fish. Talking about fish we could eat since this area is designated for fishing for food."


Pierre (Lytsari): "Those ship names sure sound lazy."


"Is this even legal?" asked Tyler.

"Maybe." answered Chris, earning eye rolls from some of the cast. "Try not to go too far or you'll have a hard time coming back. Now get on your ships since we're gonna start."

The teens all raced to the ships with their respective teams into their respectives vehicles.


"Okay, now what?" asked Foster as soon as everyone in the Chevaliers team boarded the ship.

The ship was small. You would probably consider it as a mini cruise of some sorts but the thing is, the ship did not seem luxurious enough for it to be deemed as a mini cruise.

"Do any of you guys know how to drive a boat?" Tala asked the team after boarding. "Foster?"

"Yeah, I guess I could try. I mean, how hard could it be." the survivalist shrugged to himself as he marched towards the control room. He expected some sort of steering wheel like the one you would see in pirate ships but no. He saw a control panel, several levers, and a bunch of buttons that made his head spin. "This… this is gonna take a while."

"I'm not letting Pandora dive, too risky." Tala declared before looking towards the remaining three boys.

"I guess I could try." Tyler volunteered. "I hope it's not too deep-"

Jeremy raised his hand. "I'm diving with Tyler."


Tyler (Chevaliers): "I want to appreciate the fact that Jeremy's always got my back during these challenges. From keeping me away from that creepy door in Manoria to last night with the weapons… I think he's a pretty good guy."


"Then it's settled." Tala nodded, before looking at Gerald who is looking towards the horizon. "Gerald?"

No answer.

"I'll talk to him." Pandora offered as she walked towards the boy. "Hey."

"I miss Allan." he sighed. "He's not usually alone in these kinds of situations. Then again, I've spent my whole life with him. It's just not the same."

Pandora had an assuring hand on his shoulder. "You know, I could say the same with my camera."

"What do you mean?"

The photographer gestured to the camera she had with her. She also had a new lanyard that connected the camera so she would wear the lanyard again. The camera also had cracks on its lenses. "It's weird. I'm not usually myself without it. It's probably not working again and it kinda bummed me out but I still keep it."

"...I see…"

"What I'm saying is that even though Allan's not here with you right now, you'll know that he's still by your side. Believe it or not, who knows, you'll feel his presence as if he were here." Pandora smiled sheepishly. "Not sure if you get what I'm saying, but I hope you at least did."

"Hey, you tried. And to be honest, maybe I might be a tad overreacting I guess." Gerald shrugged. "I think he could come back to me if he finds me." He said with a smile.

"That's the spirit."


Pandora (Chevaliers): "I was worried he wouldn't get what I was saying. I'm not usually good at ted talks like these. I'm glad he understands though."


"I'm operating the boat." Hector instantly declared to his team. "I'm an engineer, I can figure out the controls."

"Okay, I'll trust you on that one." Jessica nodded.

"Ooo can I go diving?" Fridge politely volunteered for the rest of the team but Jessica shook her head in disapproval.

"I'll dive. I don't want to risk anyone else getting hurt." She immediately sent a quick glare towards Laila and Laverne, the former not even looking guilty at the ordeal.

"I'll dive too." Laverne said.


Laila (Ritter): "So much for that…"


"I can help Hector with the controls." Eli added. "I mean I don't think it'd be easy for Hector to learn that all by himself."

"Actually it would be, but it would take some time so some help would be nice." Hector nodded in approval and the two shared a high five.

"Fridge and I can help lookout for Laverne and Jessica." Aditi added.

Once most of the team had their roles for the challenge, everyone turned their eyes towards the elephant of the room.

"What?" asked Laila.

"What are you gonna do for the challenge?" Jessica asked her back, responding to Laila's question with her own inquiry.

"Well what can I do?"

"I don't know, you decide."

"Get some bait?"

"Well, where are you going to get some bait for the fish?"


Jessica (Ritter): She chuckles. "Yup, I am testing her patience. Wonder if she'll actually do something."


Once Laila couldn't give an answer, Jessica rushed over to Fridge and Aditi and whispered something that the camera couldn't pick up.

Next thing we know, Jessica and Laverne were wearing their snorkelling gear and a wetsuit. Then there's Laila with a plastic board attached to her. The plastic board said "B8" in extremely large and bold characters. There were also doodles of animals on the plastic board and a bit of dents here and there.

"Wow!" Aditi grinned at what seemed like her work as she was holding a set of markers. Fridge was rubbing his fist as he was obviously the one who dented the board.

"Am I seriously wearing this?" Laila groaned as Fridge gave her a snorkelling mask.

"Well, you wanted to be the bait so there you go." Jessica laughed at the snob's demise.

"Hey mind you, I never said that I wanted to be the bait!"

"Well what can we do, we don't have anything but you." Eli joined along the teasing. "Wow that rhymed."

"Ugh, you guys suck!" Laila shouted.


"Where do you guys think they kept the snorkelling gear and all?" Jace asked his team. He and Summer were in the control room checking out the supply area in case they found any.

"In there. Duh. You'll find it eventually if you keep your eyes wide open." Wyonetta retorted.


Jace (Lytsari): "Gee, thanks."


Seeing the writer roll his eyes over in complete annoyance, Summer couldn't help but laugh at Jace's reaction.

"Hey, on the bright side, we found some fish catching gear like this net." the 80s girl pointed out, soon grabbing a rather large fish net.

"Is fishing here even legal?" Jace wondered out loud.

"Maybe it is. We would've been sued right now probably if it were illegal." Summer answered.

Later on, Pierre entered the control room, taking a gander on the ship's controls.

"You're operating?" asked Summer.

"Yeah." Pierre nodded as he began to start the engine. "I mean, I know how most of these controls work. My parents know too since they have a partnership with a water vehicle company so they taught me the basics of this thing."

"Good to know." Jace said.

Meanwhile, Rory, Maelle, Sheldon, and Wyonetta were looking at the water for fish.

"I… I don't see anything." Rory commented, squinting his eyes towards the water. There was nothing but water. No fish, coral, sand, not even rocks. Just water. Plus those legs that hold the dock from below.

"Maybe you scared them away." Wyonetta rolled her eyes and scoffed.

"We merely just got here. How does one expect fishes to swim away the second people arrive?" Maelle questioned Wyonetta's answer while narrowing her eyes at the hockey player.

"Well according to some outstandingly reliable sources," Sheldon began, not even acknowledging what these 'outstandingly reliable sources' are, "...some school of fish immediately swim away as soon as they sense incoming contact coming from any other living organism. While some other school of fishes-"

"Okay crazy Nelly, we get it!" snarked Wyonetta followed by a huge facepalm right after.

"Hmph, affirmative." Sheldon said with a tsk sound afterwards.

Rory was snickering. "I'm sorry but why are you so funny. I can't with you two. Seriously. I'm not a matchmaker but I would definitely ship you two if Wyonetta doesn't have the personality of a sasquatch."

"Thanks for the compliment Barney, but I'm one hundred percent sure that you know that I don't do squat!" Wyonetta snarked again at Rory this time.

The drummer blinked twice, processing whatever she just said to him into his head. "Uh, okay. Anyway. I don't see any fish so how will we lure them in?"

"With this." Maelle gracefully walked into the scene with a bag full of fish food which somehow looks like breadcrumbs that Eli just straight up ate from the fridge. (Side note: Not that Fridge.) "While you three were so busy having a minor dispute, I found this by the seat over there." She added, pointing towards the ship's seats.

The scene ended with Rory, Maelle, and Sheldon looking at the breadcrumbs in embarrassment.


When everyone was already ready for the challenge, Dustin double checked each team before returning back to Chris.

"Contestants, you're going to have to ride the boat around a kilometer away from shoreat maximum." Chris announced through a megaphone.

"Isn't that too far away?" Dustin asked but unfortunately was shushed for an answer.

"The challenge will end when Dustin blows this megahorn over here. When you hear the megahorn, return to shore to count your fish." Chris added.

Everyone prepared themselves to start the challenge.

"Your challenge starts… NOW!"

Dustin blew the megahorn as the boats began to speed off on to the bay.


As Foster was maneuvering the boat, Gerald, Tala, and Pandora were fixing the cable bar to connect the snorkelling gear and suit.

"Honestly, we should've fixed way before we took off." Pandora pointed out, glancing towards the Ritters who were not too far away from them. "Laverne and Jessica were already wearing theirs."

"Yeah, you're right." Tala sighed. "Well we're still moving so I guess we could help them wear their gear right now."

Gerald just finished attaching both cables to the suits. "Here, they're attached now. So does that mean we can hand these over to them?"

"Yeah." Tala nodded at Gerald's response, slightly relieved that he made effort to help than to just whine about losing Allan.

Foster was in the control room, operating the boat. There was nothing but water everywhere, except for the little islands that lay about thousands of miles away.

Then he saw something off to the distance.

He kept going.

It was…

...a wooden raft. And two very disturbingly familiar faces are on the raft.

"You left me alone!" shouted a voice. "You all left me alone!"

"What?" Foster could only ask in shock. "No. We didn't leave you alone, Allan! Dimetrius pulled you in!"

"SILENCE!" 'Dimetrius'' voice echoed right behind 'Allan'. The figure of 'Dimetrius' held what seemed like a thin board of wood and aimed right for 'Allan's head.

"NO!" Foster shouted as he abruptly stopped the boat.

The boat tilted so much that from the back, Jeremy and Tyler accidentally fell into the water without the cables properly connected to them.

"AH!" Jeremy yelped as he fell into the water.

"WHOA!" Tyler exclaimed as he fell nearly head first.

Pandora, Tala, and Gerald nearly held onto the railings for dear life but were extremely alarmed to see both of their divers fell without their gear.

"Quick! Pull them up!" Tala shouted and ran to where the cables were at. She began pulling the one holding Tyler while Pandora did her best to get Jeremy back up.

Gerald obviously knew who was controlling the boat so he ran to where the control room was.

"Foster! What's going on!? Everything okay!?"

"I saw- I see- what- where- there-" Foster was completely lost at that point. He looked at where 'Dimetrius' and 'Allan' were, but they were gone. "WHAT! I SWEAR, THEY WERE RIGHT THERE!"

"WHO WAS THERE!?"

Both of the boys were loudly screaming at each other in panic at this rate.

"Who was there?" Gerald asked in an ever so slightly calmer tone than around five seconds ago, but still equally panicked.

"Dimetrius. He was… gonna hit Allan with something, then they just disappear!"

It took about a few seconds for Gerald to process what Foster had just said. He was about to hyperventilate, but he tried to keep his cool… which didn't work. "They- they can't just DISAPPEAR!"

That was when he turned back, and was about to jump off the boat to swim when Foster grabbed him by the shirt.

"Gerald, stop!" Foster pleaded as he pulled.

"Let me go!"

"No!"

"Please!"

"NO!"

Thump.

Pandora, Tala, and an extremely tired and wet Tyler and Jeremy all looked in shock and saw that Gerald had just pushed Foster into the ground.

"Oh my god. Foster, I- I'm sorry-"

Foster ran up to the boy and grabbed his shoulders. "Gerald, keep it together! It was probably just another one of my weird hallucinations, I promise!"

"Hallucinations?" Tala gasped in shock. "Wait, what!?"


Foster (Chevaliers): "Hallucinations about Allan since our first night in Manoria, yeah. Maybe it's because I talk to Gerald the most compared to the other Chevaliers and we all know for sure now that Allan is Gerald's imaginary… er… friend."

He jutted his chin for a moment. "I mean, I've dealt with much weirder stuff and survived through those. So, I can probably survive these random things too."


"Look, I'll tell you guys later. Let's just help Jeremy and Tyler with their gear and get this challenge over with since we're way behind the others now." Foster declared in front of his team.

The rest of the Chevaliers looked at each other with worried expressions on their faces… save for Gerald who looked completely ashamed from pushing the survivalists earlier.

When they were finally done with whatever it was they were doing, Jeremy and Tyler were sent into the water with complete gear and equipment.


Eli, Fridge, Hector, and Aditi were all standing by just where Laverne, Jessica, and Laila had taken off to the water. Hector had adjusted the boat's settings so that they would still stay afloat. Laverne and Jessica had their suits attached on cables that Eli, Fridge, and Aditi had set up earlier, but they were carefully holding tight onto a long yard of rope, which presumably was to hold Laila afloat on the surface.

"Uggggghhhhh!" Laila groaned loudly as her head was above the water's surface. The "B8" board was still attached to her, though she also had a lifesaver around her just so that she wouldn't be pulled underwater. "How long do I have stay here!?"

"Until the fish get to you, duh!" Eli hollered out to her, followed by a rather loud and obnoxious snicker, which of course earned him some odd looks from his team. "What? You guys seriously can't deny that that was the truth."

"Hey, can you see if Laverne and Jessica are still down there?" Hector asked Laila, completely ignoring Eli's remark.

The snob looked at the water, though she could only see a blur of the white pants she was wearing. "How on earth am I supposed to know? I can't just look at water, you know!"

Fridge stuck his head underwater for a few seconds (which surprised the rest of the team) and stood back up on the boat. "I can't see either."

Silence ensued among the team members for a few minutes. However, this was disturbed by a shrill scream.

"Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark!" Laila screamed several octaves higher than her normal expensive sounding voice as she tugged on the rope, pointing towards some oddly pointed thing heading towards her a few meters away.

"Shark? Ha! Impossible, this is a freaking bay. I doubt that sharks actually go here." Eli laughed while triumphantly crossing his arms, not even holding on to Laila's rope anymore.

Laila was tying her best to swim at that point. Though they disliked her, Fridge and Aditi did their best to pull her rope towards them. Hector also rush to the control room in case he needed to move the boat a little while Eli was already setting himself up with the cables in case something goes wrong with Laverne and Jessica.

"Uhh… is there really a shark?" Aditi asked out loud, as she was starting to think that Eli was right.

"Get me out of here you all squat-loving squats!" Laila frailed, coming up with a terrible and nonsensical insult towards her team.

As the pointy thing got closer and closer to them, they began to freak out.

"Holy shit I think it's really a shark though!" Eli started to panic.

"Exactly you dumb goose, now do me a favor and get me out of the water!" Laila commanded the couch potato.

"Laila, the shark is right behind you!" yelled Fridge.

And that was when Laila began screaming for her life as she felt the shark emerge out of the water to come eat its meal. Or… bait. (Or in this case, B8.)

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Splash!

Everyone was expecting to see a huge shark devour a whole Laila right in front of their eyes.

"What in the… fuck?" Eli gasped in shock, before erupting into loud laughter. "Minghao, that was a good one."

"Minghao?" Hector curiously asked before maneuvering his wheelchair to where the others were. "Wow, I was actually right to not move the boat."

Minghao visibly froze, the prop shark fin in his head about to fall apart as Laila was already hopping mad.

"Wait, jiejie-"

"What in Trevor's suspenders are you up to? Scare the living life out of me and call it a day? Or did Paige taught you how to freaking prank? First my blouse from last night and now this shark facade! Wow, Minghao!" The snob angrily yelled. She was about to land a smack towards the Chinese intern but luckily Minghao ducked into the water in time and made her missed it.

"Well… I have to go." Minghao said in a hurry. "A quick tip for you though, don't pee in the sea when you know and you show that you will say you have that red day, okay see ya." He quickly said and swam away.


Eli (Ritter): "What in the holy hell did he just said?"


Aditi (Ritter): She was visibly grimacing. "He was trying so hard to talk about urinating in the water during periods… that's… disgusting…" she shuddered.


After he commotion, both Laverne and Jessica went up in the surface.

"What happened?" Laverne asked. "We heard screaming."

"Yeah you all look as if you guys just saw some shark." Jessica added.

"...nothing." Laila answered.


Jace and Summer had already submerged into the water by the time the camera shifted to Team Lytsari. Pierre was in the control room studying the controls he hasn't touched yet while the rest of the Lytsari team members were keeping an eye on the cables that held their divers. Sheldon was also seen examining the packet of breadcrumbs that Maelle had got earlier.

"Now there is a reason why breadcrumbs that are packed in stores are sealed into a crisp and aren't soft like normal bread." The nerd said as a matter of factly kind of manner, not really talking to anyone in particular. "This is to ensure the crispiness of the coating for fried foods. Different foods can use this sich as corndogs, fried chicken, porkchops, and-"

"Shut the fuck up, you're making me hungry." Wyonetta retorted with a groan.

"We're all hungry. Why are we doing this challenge then?" Rory added, somehow justifying their hunger.

"...Well either way, cripsy breadcrumbs do not usually taste good as they are not quite flavorful than normal bread because-"

Sheldon's lecture about breadcrumbs was suddenly interrupted as Maelle swiftly snatched the packet from him, and walked to where Summer and Jace had dive. She opened the packet with her fingers in one swift motion and spilled them on the water for bait.

This left Sheldon's mouth open extra extra wide.

"We… we could've at least eaten a few of them!" He retaliated.

"You literally just said though that they don't taste good!" Rory butted into the conversation, making a point that made Wyonetta chuckle.


Maelle (Lytsari): "I am not doing this to piss off Sheldon. I am simpy doing this because I was extremely bored."

The camera zoomed in on her for a bit as if it had eyes that were narrowing at her suspiciously.

"Oh, and to help Jace and Summer get fish. I am quite certain that they do not have any yet, so throwing the breadcrumbs would be good bait because that is what they are. At least I know for sure that I am helping." She smiles with her arms crossed.


As Pierre was looking and studying the controls, he could hear really faint screams coming off from the distance. At first he didn't really care, but the more he heard them, the more prominent they become. So he looked up, and saw the Chevaliers' commotion.

"What the heck?" He exclaimed as he saw the Chevaliers' boat swerved a bit. The most noticeable thing that should be taken note of though was the fact that there was no raft at all. He would've decided to help them, but now he just let it all wait until they all calmd down.


It had been a while since the Chevaliers had their tiny commotion from earlier. The camera panned to the Chevalier divers, Tyler and Jeremy, as they were looking for fish. It was just a bay so it would be harder to catch fish that would actually be edible to most people.

Tyler was holding a fish net as Jeremy guided him to where he could see most of the fish. They could see different fish ranging from salmon to mackerel to sardine, which was quite questionabke because not all of these fish can be found in a bay by the lighthouse but who cares.

Tyler hoisted the other side of the net to Jeremy, who caught it with ease. Then they swerved the net and managed to catch around six medium sized fish as the majority of them retreated and swam away.

Jeremy merely shrugged, quite satisfied with what they already got so he started to swim back up. Tyler on the other hand, being the skilled hunter he is, managed to carefully grab two more fish and lure them towards the net. The two managed to catch fish successfully even with no bait.

The two were assisted by Pandora, Tala, and Gerald back at the boat. They then grabbed the fish net and placed its contents in a basket.

"What the-" Tyler squinted his eyes as he could see something off the distance, particularly on the sky. "Looks like a really bad storm is coming."

"A storm?" Jeremy flinched for a bit before widening his eyes right towards where Tyler was looking at. "Really, why did it have to be now?"

The sky was visibly turning purple with streaks of lightning in various places. Thunder also started to clash from the sky. It was so loud that some of them had to cover their ears.

"We're going back." Foster declared from the control room. "Dustin has to use that megahorn now. We can't continue the challenge if a storm's going to wreck us up like this."

The rest of the Chevaliers rushed into control room as rain started pouring heavily.

"I hope there are seats with seatbelts in this." Tala gulped. Her hopes went down immediately as she saw that the control room have no seats.

"Well, just hold on to something guys. This ride is going to be a bit wild." Gerald added.

Tyler and Jeremy brought the fish basket inside as Pandora looked at the window. She tried to capture a picture of the storm and its colors… but her camera was broken. She sighed in disappointment and sadness.


Pandora (Chevaliers): "I guess my camera really is broken…"


"Shit, there's a storm coming!" Hector yelled from the control room. He began working up on a few controls to get the engine working again, but to no avail. "Why isn't it working?!"

"What's not working?" asked Eli from behind him.

"The engine."

"Oh no…" Fridge gulped as he pulled Laila back on the boat.

"What do we do?" Asked a panicking Aditi.

The Ritter team all began to panic as they couldn't start their boat.

"Pull them out of there!" Hector commanded the rest of his teammates who were trying to pull Jessica and Laverne from the water.

The storm was heading near them and considering they were off on the sea, they didn't know where to go. They were too far away from shore too.

Eli, Aditi, Laila, and Fridge all did their best to pull their teammates back on the boat. Unfortunately, one of their ropes got cut off.

"Crap, the rope!" Eli shouted. "It snapped. I think we pulled it too hard."

"Hector is the freaking engine working yet? The storm is coming, you know!" Laila called out to him in panic.

"I'm trying to make it work!" Hector answered. With one punch, he hit the engine of the boat. It whirred for a bit- until it stopped working.

In the bottom of the surface of the water, Laverne was now being pulled up by some of the Ritters. Jessica was also being pulled up until she slowly began to sank down. Sadly, neither of them had fish in their grip due to the sudden mishap.

"Jessica!" Laverne hollered through her snorkel and grabbed the wrangler's arm, attempting to pull her up with herself. As the wrangler held onto Laverne, they both realized that they were still being pulled up but even slower and slower than before.

Back up on the boat, Aditi and Fridge were doing their best to pull but the both of them, even Fridge, started to strain.

Eli and Laila were looking at the rope they held onto before casting the rope back in the water and helped Aditi and Fridge pull them up.

"I think we are pulling both of them up!" Aditi panted. "How is it supposed to be this heavy then?"

"Just make sure it doesn't snap!" Eli shouted as he continued to pull the rope.

While everyone was doing their part, Hector was still looking frantically at the engine, giving it a few tweaks here and there to see if it would work. When the engine started whirring again, he almost jumped in pure joy until he realized he was in a wheelchair.

"We got it, guys! Hurry up!" He told them.

"What was that!?" Jessica asked her team in shock as soon as she and Laverne were back up on the surface.

"Engine was broken and storm is coming now get your wet butts up here right now so we could get out of the sea!" Laila commanded.

The rest of the Ritters helped both divers get back up on the boat.

"Hold on tight." Hector said as he began operating the water vehicle.


Rory, Sheldon, Wyonetta, and Maelle were still sitting, doing nothing besides watching the cables move.

"Man. I wish I volunteered to be a diver. Jace is so lucky." Rory sighed in regret.

"Why do you suddenly want to dive?" Sheldon asked him.

"Is it because of Summer?" Wyonetta teasingly narrowed her eyes at him.

"Uh…" Rory went flustered for a moment before immediately looking at Maelle to distract them from the topic. "YO MAELLE, NICE FLOWER!"

The maid almost instantly gave an extremely disgusted facial expression owards the drummer, one that would signal a slap in the face right after.

"Whoops." Rory laughed sheepishly.

"I did not expect such a remark." Maelle looked at the drummer suspiciously. "No thanks to that."


Rory (Lytsari): "For a second thought, I thought she was thinking dirty." His face immediately flushed. "Buuuut Summer is still best girl though. I mean what."


"Oh holy supreme being. It's precipitating." said Sheldon.

"Oh my god it's raining, you shithead!" Wyonetta retorted. "Get Jace and Summer out of the water!"

Summer and Jace were in the water, catching some fish still. They both had their fish net and managed to grab a bit more than the Chevaliers, but they accidentally let go as soon as they felt like they were being pulled up.

Jace hurriedly gesture her to grab a few fish as they were going up. He managed to grab two and Summer only managed to grab one.

Meanwhile, Pierre had his hands on the control pad, unsure of what to do because there was a storm coming and he should start moving as soon as their diver come back up. Looking behind him, he saw his teammates hoisting Summer and Jace up on the surface and back on the boat. Both Summer and Jace were about to put the fish into their fish basket.

Jace decided to go through the just-stay-where-you-are-and-shoot-it-like-a-basketball route and threw the fish aiming for the basket. However, the fish hit the control pad, causing it to press the lever. This was when the propellers at the bottom of the ship started to move quickly and the ship began to move farther and farther away from shore, gaining speed.

It was at this moment that he knew he fucked up.

"Uh, Jace? What was that?" Pierre asked him from behind as the ship gradually gained speed, neither of them knowing how to stop it.

"Uh… oops." Jace gulped.

"I can't reverse it." Pierre gritted his teeth as he tried to slow down the boat but failed.

"Hey, Pierre? Are you sure this thing is about to go fast?" Summer asked with a panicky expression.

"Well… no but-"

"What do you exactly mean by no?!" Wyonetta shouted, not liking the direction the team was heading for.

"Uh… just hold on!" Pierre hollered.

"That does not sound like a very good answer!" Maelle added.

Pierre was doing his best to reverse the controls but they keep failing each time. "Come on, man! Feed!" He shouted in frustration.

Rory ran into the control room and found a lever. "Emergency break?"

"I don't know, try and pull it!"

The drummer did as what he was told and pulled the lever. However, the lever went down at the speed of light, meaning it was loose.

"No breaks. Do boats really have breaks?" asked Rory.

"Uh… Sheldooooon!"

"I cannot go and enter the room, my glasses flew away!" Sheldon yelled.


Sheldon (Lytsari): He was nowhere near the chair in the confessional room. "I can't see." He said. Seconds later, the walls rumbled, signifyig that he just bumped somewhere. "Ouch."


Back at the docks, Dustin was playing chess against himself while Chris was looking at the boats.

"Uh… blow the horn." Chris winced as he saw the storm coming.

"Pardon?"

"Blow the horn now! There's a storm!"

"Oh shit." Dustin gritted his teeth and grabbed the megahorn, blowing into it as loud as he could to signal the cast to come back into shore.


While the Chevaliers and Ritter were doing their best to head over there quickly, the Lytsari team were having trouble with their controls as they were going faster than both of the other teams. Little do they know that they were about to crash into Team Ritter.

"Guys?" Jessica looked over the distance worriedly.

"Oh great. What now?"

"Brace for impact!" Hector yelled from the control room. This caused the whole team to scramble and look for a place to hold on to.

"Guys we're gonna crash!" Pierre shouted. "I seriously can't stop the boat!"

"Oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit-" Wyonetta began panicking and swearing louder than the scream that followed.

CRASH!

SPLASH!

Both Ritter and Lytsari clashed their boats as all fourteen teens fell into the water.

"The fish!" Jace yelled as their boat tilted. He didn't want his and Summer's efforts to be wasted but they lost the fish and it's too late.

Chris and Dustin were witnessing the commotion from afar as the Chevaliers have arrived. The two of them ran and boarded the team's ship.

"What's going on?" Foster asked, questioning Dustin and Chris' actions.

"Lytsari and Ritter just crashed into each other and they all fell in the water." Dustin frantically said. "Turn this boat around, we have to get them now before the storm gets bad."

The Chevaliers quickly made their way to the fallen cast who were desperately trying to stay above surface despite the rain hitting them. When they reached them, the whole Chevalier team plus Dustin and Chris helped them all up.

"Foster, go to the docks now and hurry." Chris commanded. "The storm is getting worse."

"This boat won't sink down, right?" asked Aditi worriedly.

"It won't if we make it in time. Now hurry!" Dustin yelled.

When the Chevaliers quickly reached the docks, Minghao and Paige tied the boat to the docks and helped everyone out. Lightning and thunder continued to clash as everyone rushed back into the lighthouse with the fish they got.

When everyone managed to get themselves settled up inside the lighthouse, Chris commanded everyone to get their fish out.

Jeremy and Tyler got the fish basket. "We have eight." said Jeremy as he and the hunter showed their fish basket.

The host nodded and turned to the remaining two teams.

"We're lucky that I managed to get the fish basket before the ship fell." Pierre said and opened it.

But there was nothing.

"What the… there was supposed to be three or two in here…" Pierre gasped in shock.

"What is it?" asked Rory.

"I lost the fish during the crash."

"Oh… that's okay." Summer reassured him.

"No, that is not okay. We freaking lost and that's that." Wyonetta grumbled.

While the Lytsari team were arguing, Eli opened up the Ritter team's fish basket and revealed one fish.


Eli (Ritter): "I know we didn't get any fish." He said, scratching the back of his head. "But when Lytsari crashed into us, one of their fish end up going near us so I just had to grab it. I'm not sure if the team realizes this but hey,at least we didn't lose, right?"


"Wait, we caught one?" asked Jessica in disbelief.

"Who cares, at least we're not eliminated!" Laverne beamed.

"Yup, so that means Lytsari… I will see you tonight. Hopefully when the storm calms down we can have the ceremony outside." Announced the raven haired host. "In the meanwhile, since the Ritters and Chevaliers got fish, we'll try and cook later and have a campfire once the storm calms down… or if the storm calms down."

Everuone looked at each other for a bit before they were all dismissed.


Elimination Ceremony #3

Later on, the Lytsari team gathered up on the first floor of the lighthouse while the rest of the cast decided to try and cook the fish on the upper floors.

"Lytsari… what did just happen?" Chris asked the yellow team. Everyone was seated inside the lighthouse as the storm continued to hit the land and sea, and no one knows when will it stop.

The said team just looked at each other with shame. Even one simple mistake, the simple mistake of throwing the fish into the basket and missing it was enough to make such a catastrophe.

"Anyway, you guys can start casting your votes now. Jace will go first."

When Chris had finished the instruction, the Lytsari team went up one by one towards the voting table and decided who to vote. Then, they head onto the bathroom for the voting confessional.


Lytsari Voting Confessional

Jace: "After that happened, I think it's time to go for whoever I feel is right I guess. Sorry Maelle."

Maelle: "I hereby voted for Pierre. His actions are just deemed questionable. I'm not sure if this was his fault."

Pierre: "Maelle. Easy. She's just… She just doesn't understand."

Rory: "Maelle approached Summer and I earlier and she said Pierre. To be honest, I'm not sure who to vote for. Like, not even Wyonetta. She can be a jerk but she can literally carry us through sometimes and she's helpful. So I don't know, but I already voted and there's that. Sorry Pierre."

Sheldon: "I stood by Wyonetta in eliminating Jace from this play. I do not see him as a team member of strength and he in full comparison to the rest of the team is just… weak. If he did not throw the fish we would not have lost this."

Summer: "A while ago I was thinking that I could side along with Rory and go for Pierre. Thing is… I'm not sure if voting him off would be a good idea."

Wyonetta: "It was either Jace or Pierre. Either way, I'm going for Jace. Doubt Sheldon will go for the other."


After Wyonetta exited the bathroom, she seated right next to Summer as Chris began counting the votes.

"Are we bringing back those feathers?" asked Rory.

"I left them back at Manoria. Whoops." Dustin winced.

"Anyway…" Chris sent a quick glare towards the assistant. "Safe with no votes are… Rory, Summer, Wyonetta, and Sheldon."

Summer and Rory fist bumped each other in victory. Wyonetta and Sheldon both did not reacted whatsoever as they both pretty much expected the outcome.

"Pierre, Jace, and Maelle. All three of you have racked up a bit of some votes. Three to two to two." Chris continued to look at the ballots.

Pierre gulped while Jace looked down in shame. Maelle however looked surprised to hear that she got votes.


Maelle (Lytsari): "I am guessing that those two voted for me." She shrugs.


"Safe with only two votes are…"

"...Maelle and Jace." Chris finally announced.

Maelle heaved a huge sigh of relief while Jace looked at Pierre, knowing that his friend was voted off. Pierre himself however wasn't too surprised at the result.

"Well, it's been good knowing you guys." The boy waved at his team.

"Wait. That's not fair." Jace stood up. "It was my fault that we lost the challenge. Why didn't you guys voted for me instead?"

"The vote was split." Maelle defended the choice she, Rory, and Summer made. "Let's face it, why would you vote for yourself if you know you lost? I know for sure that you didn't vote for yourself though."

Jace sighed as he had been caught. The fact that he and Pierre teamed up to get Maelle out was obvious. Instead of arguing with her, he walked up to Pierre and gave him a hug.

"At least you get to visit Naka and Sua. Say hi to them for me." The writer whispered.

"Will do." Pierre nodded.

As he was being escorted out by Paige and Minghao who were previously just standing by the side throughout the whole ordeal, Rory and Summer quickly waved to him while the rest of the team went back up to their own team headquarters up in the lighthouse.

Once they left, Chris got ready for the outro.

"Well, there goes another Lytsari member… and I'm surprised that the Ritter team are still complete up till this day." He said. "This has been Chris McLean, stay tuned for the next episode of Total Drama Knightfall!"

The camera was about to shut off.

"I hope I don't get sued for all of this."


Pierre had already left the area via a taxi after being escorted by both Paige and Minghao.

"When do you think we'll leave this place?" asked Paige as she and him walked back to where the lighthouse was. They both shared an umbrella, one that Minghao luckily brought with him when they left Manoria.

"I don't know, jiejie. We might as well stay here until the end of the season." the Chinese intern answered.

"Until the end you say? Interesting…" an ominous voice said from behind.

"Was that you?" asked a frightened Paige.

"Uh no. Why would I sound like that?" answered a very confused Minghao.

Both interns turned back and saw the being that they couldn't believe they would see. How did he get there? How did he found them?

The scene immediately faded to pitch black as punches, thuds, and cries for help echoed through the area.


Blue Chevaliers: Foster, Tyler, Gerald, Jeremy, Tala, Pandora

Red Ritter: Eli, Fridge, Hector, Aditi, Laila, Laverne, Jessica

Yellow Lytsari: Jace, Rory, Sheldon, Maelle, Summer, Wyonetta


Votes: Yellow Lytsari

Pierre (3) - Maelle, Rory, Summer

Jace (2) - Wyonetta, Sheldon

Maelle (2) - Pierre, Jace

Eliminated: Pierre (3-2-2 vote)


A/N: I'm pretty sure some of you guys saw this coming, whether it be the title already being figured out or the fact that Naka was eliminated last episode. I originally had Pierre going for a different role in the season but the change of plans led him here. Believe me, when you guys saw his stereotype, I was pretty sure that you guys were thinking of him being some sort of antagonist. He would've gone that way but alas this is where his journey might end. This won't be the last time we'll see him though as we still have the aftermath for this season! Thank you to Ecliptic Plasma for letting me use him!

Ritter is clearly dominating the whole competition so we'll see next time if one of them goes home soon. Also what on earth happened to Paige and Minghao? And were Dimetrius and Allan really there when Foster 'saw' them? Let's see if we'll find that out next time!


Elimination Table:

22nd - Sua

21st - Naka

20th - Pierre


Meaning behind the episode title: This one may or may not have been easy to figure out lol. Anyway, the title is Love in the Quay in French. In this episode, the few possible couples teased last episode were teased again here and there and it's either they will become canon in the future or will fall apart. But actually they weren't emphasized THAT MUCH which is actually pretty ironic for an episode title like this. XD

Wang Raanee may have hinted at Pierre's elimination in this episode. As soon as Maelle found out what happened between him and Naka, everyone else in the Lyt team (and also the Chev team) knew about the news as well. This came to a conclusion that both were threats.

In the challenge, the name of one of the ships (or… mini ships) used was named S.S. McL. This was named after Chris since Chris's last name is McLean. However, if you guys memorized the surnames of the cast, this could also hint that S.S. McL could also belong to Pierre as Pierre's surname is McLowery. He has also mentioned in the middle of the challenge that his parents used to have a partnership company that deals with water vehicles and may have knowledge on how to operate one which was why he was assigned/volunteered to operate Lytsari's boat.

Do also take note that quay (English for Quai in the title) is a synonym to pier and pier sounds like Pierre. The title is also in French and I believe Pierre is a French name.

As usual, below is the title for the next episode! The title is different from the one I mentioned in the server because I think this one seemed more fitting, haha. We will have the next ode soon then I hope to have Episode 5 by late April. Thanks for reading!
