LaCuevademigustos: We'll see what happens next.
MatiasND: Yep that was me who made Leonard more of a cosplayer than actually thinking he's a wizard.
Dave began standing next to Sky and began speaking, "I know I'm not a powerhouse like Shawn or Jasmine but I'll try not to slow you down."
"Thanks, that's all I need from you." Sky smiled.
"Time for your final challenge, it's called the Double Duo. Since Scarlett went crazy and changed the island completely by wreaking havoc in the secret underground control room, we've yet to explore the wonderful dangers of this island that it brings us until now. Beardo and Sky, with assistance from your helpers, you will race across the island. The first one to do so will win one million dollars."
Dave cheered along with Sky, Leonard, and Beardo before Chris continued speaking, "All you have to do is go through a 2,000 foot plummet from an ice mountain, breathe through a tube while submerged in mud with only one person guiding you, and then sprint across a wide open field which will contain a surprise at the end."
'Okay it sounds straight forward and dangerous but the open field is definitely suspicious.' Dave thought in fear, he then felt a helmet thrown on his head while Sky, Beardo, and Leonard caught other helmets.
"For our first challenge, the lawyers insisted you wear helmets to protect your brains." Chris began, "I mean someday you may start using them."
Dave rolled his eyes at that comment, he wondered if Chris had a brain.
Soon Dave heard whirring and saw a helicopter was behind them, "When you get to the top of the mountain! It'd be a good idea to make a bobsled or it'll be a really rough way down!" Chris yelled, "Grab onto a rope, your challenge begins now."
Dave soon grabbed a rope and the helicopter pulled him up along with the finalists and Leonard.
After a while the helicopter made it to the mountain and Dave let go of the rope but unfortunately he fell on the snow face first.
Dave wiped the snow off him before turning to Sky.
"How are we supposed to make a bobsled out of this stuff?" Beardo asked curiously.
"Perhaps we can use the skis to get us down." Leonard suggested.
"No way, I'm too big, you'll probably slip, we need to find something else." Beardo declined.
Dave's eyes gleamed and he smirked, 'Beardo and Leonard may not be able to fit two people on skis but me and Sky can.'
Dave grabbed the skis and tied them to his feet and skis over to Sky.
"Sky, we can use the skis to get down." Dave told the Olympian.
"I don't know if I like that idea." Sky said fearfully.
"Well we need to win somehow." Dave said.
Sky seemed to be contemplating the idea before nodding and grabbing onto Dave before they began going down the mountain, they soon came face to face with snow nodules blocking the path.
"We need to go around the nodules, we can't go through them or it'll slow us down." Sky told Dave.
"Maybe we don't need to, I think if we use them to jump, we'll go faster." Dave smiled.
"Dave! No!" Sky cried out.
Dave soon slid on the nodule and made the jump but unfortunately he and Sky began losing balance, Dave began to realize his plan wasn't so foolproof.
They soon began rolling down the mountain and a snowball started forming with it, after a while they made it down but were stuck in a snowball.
Sky tried punching the snowball but it hardly made a dent, Dave tried his best to punch it as well but it hurt his hand.
"Ow! Icy." Dave cried out.
"Great! We're trapped! I knew this was a bad idea!" Sky said angrily.
To make things even worse Beardo and Leonard made it down the mountain on an old hot tub.
"Ooh that doesn't look good. Sorry about this guys but I gotta go win the million, I'll go see if Chris can help you out later though." Beardo said before running off with Leonard.
"And now they're in the lead! Way to go Dave!" Sky yelled.
Dave sighed in disappointment and spoke up, "I'm so sorry Sky, I was meant to help you, not mess things up."
"Look Dave, it's okay, I lost my temper there for a moment. I'm sorry too." Sky sighed.
"Sky, it's not your fault. I got too overconfident and likely cost you your win." Dave admitted before he saw the cat from the underground of the island, it was currently licking itself.
"It's the cat bot." Dave gasped.
"Okay, on my count, we duck. Okay?" Sky told Dave.
"Okay." Dave nodded.
"Hey cat bot! Yeah! I'm talking to you, ya hideous flea bag!" Sky smirked, "So are you programmed to poop and lick your butt, ha ha."
Dave immediately ducked as soon as he saw the cat's eyes getting red, and soon he saw some fire above him, and a bunch of water below his feet.
"Yeesh, that is one bad kitty." Dave recoiled before he noticed Sky's wide eyed look.
"What?" Dave asked with a shrug.
"Y-Your hair… some of it was burned off." Sky answered awkwardly.
"What?!" Dave felt his head and felt that his hair indeed shortened a bit, "Whatever, I'll worry about it later, come on we gotta win this."
Dave and Sky soon reach Chris who was next to a mud pit with Leonard likely on Beardo's back, he could tell due to the afro, and he was holding a hose tube and speaking into it.
"What's going on here?" Dave asked Chris.
"The mud is eight feet deep, and the only way out is for one person to piggyback the other." Chris smirked.
"Wouldn't the one holding the other drown?!" Sky asked incredulously.
"As long as they breathe through this hose tube, they should be fine." Chris explained.
"Okay, I'll go in the mud while you stay on my back." Sky told Dave who soon nodded.
"Okay…" Dave said nervously before getting on Sky's back.
Sky then put the hose tube in her mouth and soon jumped in the mud with Dave getting the waist down a bit muddy, grossing him out a bit.
"Oh gosh, that's putrid." Dave said in disgust.
As Sky lover slowly through the mud, Dave was starting to get nervous, his germapobia was kicking in and he wasn't enjoying this at all.
Sky was doing pretty good apparently because they were getting pretty close to Beardo and Leonard.
"Uh Beardo, I think we need to pick things up. Sky and Dave are getting closer!" Leonard said in concern.
"Alright I'm getting bored, release the 3.0 model." Dave heard Chris speak to the walkie talkie.
Suddenly a bear was being rocketed down from the sky and landed in the mud, however the impact caused a massive splash, and sent Dave, Sky, Leonard, and Beardo to the other side of the mud.
"You all seem tired, it's time we take a break, grab a seat." Chris said, which weirded Dave out.
'What do we need a break for?' Dave wondered as he sat on a log next to Sky.
"Let's take a look at some of my favorite moments from this season." Chris smirked.
Suddenly the screen showed Beardo in the confessional.
"I'm so glad I was saved from elimination, no offense to Leonard but the man is a freak, he literally believes he's a wizard." Beardo told the confessional.
"That was really harsh of you Beardo." Leonard sighed, making Beardo look guilty.
Sky suddenly had a worried look and Dave caught that immediately, 'She didn't say anything bad about me… she couldn't have… right?'
"And Dave, I don't wanna leave you out, so here's something I think you'll loooooove to see." Chris smirked deviously.
'Sky, you didn't…' Dave widened his eyes.
Suddenly the footage showed Sky in the confessional.
"What is with Dave today?! He hasn't really done anything very well in the challenge! If we lost I probably would've voted him off." Sky said before the footage cut out.
Dave felt like he was hit by a bus, Sky, his friend, was considering his elimination.
But why? Hadn't Sugar been around that episode, she was more villainous than he was.
"Dave I…" Sky began before Dave glared angrily, "What?! Was I just a pawn to help you in this game! Apparently I was if you planned on voting me off!"
"If I may interject…" Leonard began before Dave interrupted, "Leonard not now, I need to take this in."
'How could she do this to me? Were we ever really friends at all?' Dave wondered to himself.
"Alright, I am out of popcorn, and now it's time for the last part of the challenge." Chris smirked.
"What?!" Sky and Beardo asked incredulously.
"Since Dave and Leonard aren't going to be so helpful anymore they shall now be hinderers." Chris explained as Chef tossed Dave and Leonard what appeared to be video game controllers.
"The island is back online and Dave and Leonard are now allowed to use these controllers to hinder the finalist of their choice, the challenge is to race to the finish line and whoever does so first wins the million." Chris smirked.
"Oh by the way, no need to worry Sky, even if you did hurt me, I don't plan on hurting you." Dave said with an annoyed frown, 'I'm not lying either, I'm mad, not inhumane.'
"Now go!" Chris said happily before he blew his airhorn letting Beardo and Sky run off.
"Dave…" Leonard began before Dave interrupted, "Quiet Leonard, you won't distract me from getting Beardo the win."
Dave then focused on the TV screen and saw a selection on what he could do, he could launch the trees but that would be to dangerous, he then saw a hail cloud option and shrugged, a little hail likely wouldn't hurt them.
Dave soon pressed a button for that option and soon hail rained from the sky and began pelting Sky and Beardo, Sky seemed to be in pain from this, while Beardo seemed mostly unaffected, probably because of his afro.
Dave winced a bit in seeing Sky in pain, but he knew he had to continue his path for justice. He then pressed a button and caused a stump to pop out, stopping Sky from running and she bumped into it causing Beardo to run ahead.
Dave again, did not enjoy Sky's pain so he began contemplating a bit as Sky ran ahead, and saw some rain on the screen that was most likely Leonard's doing. Did he really want to do this? Was it really worth trying to sabotage Sky over this?
"What am I doing?" Dave sighed.
"What do you mean good sir?" Leonard asked.
"I can't do this to Sky, she could get injured. I don't think it's worth hurting her even if she was gonna betray me." Dave explained.
"Glad you feel that way, I do have good news for you. Sky wasn't trying to use you for her benefit." Leonard explained.
"Really?" Dave asked in shock.
"Yeah, she was only planning to vote you off because she felt you might suffer a bit too much since the late game was getting challenging and felt you could get seriously hurt but she immediately ditched those plans after the hide and go seek challenge." Leonard explained.
Dave now felt even more guilty but also happy, while he was glad Sky didn't plan on betraying him, he felt bad for not letting Sky explain her intentions, he had to make things right.
Dave gasped before taking a robot tree and launching it towards Sky.
"What are you doing?!" Leonard asked incredulously.
"Don't worry I don't plan to hurt her!" Dave smiled.
Dave soon piloted his tree forward and saw Sky was screaming and putting her hands up in defense until Dave stopped the tree which seemed to confuse Sky.
Dave noticed this confusion and gestured the tree upwards.
"Wait. You want me to get on don't you?" Sky asked with a smile.
Dave soon shifted the tree horizontally so Sky could get on, she smiled before getting on and holding onto the branches.
Dave soon directed the tree towards the finish line and saw Beardo was edging closer to the finish line.
Dave continued to maneuver the tree to the finish line and soon…
The tree buzzed above Beardo and crossed the finish line with Sky, causing Dave to stop the tree from going further.
Sky smiled with pride and got off the tree, "I did it! I did it!"
Dave immediately began running to the finish line with Leonard and Chris following.
He soon spotted Beardo and Sky talking before he stopped in his tracks and spoke to Sky.
"Yeah! Glad I was able to help." Dave said happily as he panted.
"Wait? You were the one who got the tree." Sky smiled.
"Yeah, I didn't want to hurt you anymore even if you hurt me and once Leonard explained to me the situation I decided to help out." Dave admitted.
Sky immediately embraced Dave and spoke, "Oh thank you thank you. I'm so sorry for considering to vote you out."
"It's fine. You had good intentions." Dave returns the embrace.
"Anyway now that Sky's won the million! We best head back to the peanut gallery." Chris said happily while Dave glared at him, it was clear Chris knew about Sky's true intentions, and he was disgusted by the host's actions.
Dave, Sky, Leonard, and Beardo soon began walking to the peanut gallery when Dave overheard Beardo speak.
"Leonard I am so sorry I called you a freak. It was awful of me to do. That was too harsh even if you weren't faking." Beardo said.
"It's fine, Beardo. I did come off as very weird." Leonard smiled reassuringly.
Dave was happy to see them reconcile a bit, they may not have been close but they didn't deserve to end off on bad terms.
Soon they all arrived to the peanut gallery where Ella immediately embraced Sky.
"Ooh, congratulations on winning Sky. You really deserved it!" Ella said happily.
"Thanks Ella. I'm glad to have won but I'm also glad for the friends I made here." Sky admitted with a smile.
"Spare us the cheesiness." Topher rolled his eyes.
At first Dave thought he was going to regret competing here but now he was glad to have competed on this show, he gained great friends like Ella, Rodney, Sammy, Shawn, Jasmine, and Sky. Overall this was a good experience for him.
"That's all for this season, this might not be the last time you see us. Who knows maybe we'll have an All Star season, stay tuned to find out on Total Drama." Chris smiled.
'Wait? Did he say All Star season?' Dave thought with a wide-eyed look.
Author's Note: This was a great story for me to write. I am so glad to have finished this. Thank you to everyone who reviewed and read, it was a great experience writing this. I made this because Dave felt so underrated to me on this site and I figured he deserved to shine so I made this story.
Here's what I could be writing for the future.
Alternate All Stars: This takes place after this story, it will be in third person instead of in third person limited. It'll make more sense in the future.
Total Drama World Tour All In(maybe): Basically if all the first generation cast competed in World Tour, I said maybe I'll do this because Danicus Green is doing a story like this and while I would have different plots from him I don't wanna seem like a copycat.(Side Note: I'm likely not continuing Noah's World Adventure if I decide to make this.)
Some more one-shots: Obviously I will continue making one-shots. I just need to get more ideas for doing them.
