Author's Note
I'm sorry that this was updated so late. I guess with Thanksgiving week and stuff it threw off the whole groove of everything.
Sorry if this chapter might be of a lower quality than the previous, but like I said, Thanksgiving week threw me off.
But I still hope you enjoy it.
-MisterStevenson
Also, I think these are very overdue. So let's go in order of when I got them:
Guest #1: Well as Millie would say, "And that's the only Doctor he'll ever be!"
Guest #2: Thanks, I will.
Guest #3: I'm glad you like it, but due to the grammar and misspelling, I had to do a double take.
ToxiVillain: Glad that someone likes the main ship of the story.
ToxiVillain: You don't know that...It could just be someone else who says "eh", wears a toque, and is implied to once have completely green skin.
The screen slowly faded in on a fireplace, it was quiet, except for the sounds of the crackling flames.
"Last time on Total Drama Island…" The smooth voice of Chris said. "Drama", Chris said as gold letters popped up onscreen. And if this opening couldn't get any weirder, it cut to the interior of a hospital where Ripper was dressed like a doctor, and he was talking to MK.
"I'm sorry miss, but the baby…It's gone." Ripper solemnly said. "Oh my God…" MK started to cry. "No, I mean it's actually gone. Nobody can find it…It's disappeared." Ripper clarified, now leaving MK confused.
"Romance", the voice of Chris said, before cutting to a fancy-dressed Damien and Millie. "Damnit, what i'm trying to say is…I love you, baby!" Damien exclaimed. "After everything you've done to me, you expect me to just forgive you!?" Millie exclaimed back.
"Betrayal", Chris' voice appeared once again. It cut to Bowie and Caleb arguing on an airfield for some reason. "I can't believe it! You'd cheat on me with THIS hussy!?" Bowie exclaimed before quickly panning over to Emma and back to Bowie.
"Action", Chris said before cutting to Wayne and Raj, pistols drawn and having a standoff. "*panting* You should've killed me when you had the chance." "I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt…My instincts were wrong yet again." Wayne and Raj tensely conversed before cutting back to the fireplace.
"What happens next? Find out on a new episode of-", "Now wait just a minute!" Before Chris could finish, Chef burst from the fireplace, revealing that it was just a projection. "None of that happened! Here's the REAL recap." Chef cleared his throat.
"The campers had to get ready for a Prom challenge. Chris ended up changing the rules last minute and we were left with something really basic. Due to an argument happening on the dance floor, the Ferocious Trout lost, and Bowie was eliminated for being part of the argument. What will happen next for REAL? Find out on this episode of Total…Drama…Island!" Chef finished.
"I didn't think i'd have to be doin' the intro." Chef crossed his arms. "Why won't you let me have this one thing!?" Chris exclaimed.
(Fade to Opening and Back Again)
It faded back in on some familiar voices. "Alright, it's rolling!" Raj said, holding a camera. "Hello, i'm Wayne, and i'm gonna achieve flight!" Wayne exclaimed before walking towards some sort of rope trap.
"Ready?" "Go for it!" Then Wayne stepped on the rope, and he was quickly flung offscreen. "Aw, that was sick!" Raj exclaimed before running offscreen. It then cut over to The Frogs of Death's cabin, Emma and Scary Girl were both sitting on the cabin steps, and they both had notebooks.
Emma showed hers to Scary Girl, revealing a caricature of Scary Girl with a creepy smile, and vampire fangs. Then Scary Girl showed hers, it was also a caricature, but this one was kneeling in front of a refrigerator and was caught eating a piece of cake.
"Hey! You didn't have to draw me like that…!" Emma suddenly got red in the face. "I'm very sorry. But I thought a caricature was supposed to be ironic or something. I'm not making fun of your weight, honest!" Scary Girl exclaimed.
"Actually I was embarrassed about the way you drew me eating the cake, after last night…It's gonna take a lot more than a drawing to make me feel weight conscious." Emma explained. "Last night…? Okay, you gotta tell me!" Scary Girl leaned in closer.
"Well…I was hanging out with Wayne and Raj like I normally do. Raj left for a few minutes, and me and Wayne began talking." Emma began. "Okay, go on." Scary Girl said, a smile on her face.
"Well at some point he said, "it doesn't matter if you're a little…"pudgy" you're still the same Emma to me"." Emma finished. "*gasp* Aww, that's so sweet!" Scary Girl exclaimed. "*sigh* It is isn't it? Actually, can I tell you a secret?" Emma asked, looking around.
"Of course, what is it?" Scary Girl asked back. "Well…Ever since the night of the Prom, i've kept having this recurring dream. Me and Wayne are walking down this beach…There's a beautiful sunset, he's holding my hand, and he leans in close and whispers something to-", but before Emma could continue describing her fantasy, a door could be heard opening.
"Ugh, write a Romance Novel on your own time." Ripper said. "Oh, heya Ripper! Sorry about all the girl talk." Scary Girl apologized. "You don't gotta apologize, you were just a lot louder than you thought you were." Ripper clarified.
"So, you heard all that stuff about me and Wayne?" Emma asked. "Girl, at this point EVERYONE knows about you and Wayne. You don't gotta be embarrassed." Ripper responded.
But suddenly, the sound of a "YEEHAW!" could be heard getting louder and louder, before something crashed into the Communal Washroom. "What was that!?" Emma exclaimed. "If I were to guess…I'd say your knight in a shining body cast." Ripper said before walking offscreen.
After that, Emma and Scary Girl got up and began running over to the Communal Washroom. But before they got there they ran into Raj. "Oh, hey girls. How's it going?" Raj asked. "We're just going to investigate what crashed into the bathrooms." Scary Girl responded.
"Oh that was probably Wayne. He did a flying stunt today!" Raj exclaimed before running over to the Communal Washroom. Emma and Scary Girl followed, and before they could get to the door, who else but Wayne walked out.
He looked beat-up, and his head was soaking wet. "Dude…How was it?" Raj asked. "Dude…It was WILD I can tell ya that!" Wayne exclaimed. "I mean I was flying through the air, then I crashed through a building, and my head landed in a toilet!" Wayne listed off.
After that he turned to notice the two girls standing there. "Oh…Hi Emma." Wayne awkwardly said. "Hi Wayne." Emma also said. Raj and Scary Girl glanced at each other, and gave subtle smiles. But the moment was interrupted by the loudspeaker going off.
"Listen up! Everyone is to report to the Dock of Shame at 1000 hours!" The loud voice of Chef said. The four campers we were currently focusing on were just standing around, not sure of the demand being made.
"That means now! Report to the Dock of Shame NOW!" Chef's voice reappeared, and with it, the campers started to run offscreen. It cut to the ten campers, now lined up at the Dock of Shame, Chef was standing at the end of the line wearing an army uniform.
"Man, where's Chris at? Havin' Chef shouldn't be doin' the challenge today!" Damien exclaimed. "Shut up maggot, and listen up! Chris is off meetin' with some people from the network, so today…I'M IN CHARGE!" Chef shouted through a megaphone.
"Aw hell…" "This ain't good." "So what's the challenge then?" Millie, Caleb, and Ripper said. "I am going to put you all through a series of military exercises, think of my challenge from the original TDI…But i've had time to make it worse." Chef smirked.
"Another nostalgia challenge? Whoopee…" Ripper quietly said. "So you are doing this all by yourself today? Are you not at least a little overwhelmed with the role of Host?" Priya asked. "I ain't exactly alone ya see. I'd like you all to meet my Co-Host, it's someone you all know…It's-", but before Chef could finish, the sound of a whistle was heard.
A girl walked up holding a stick. "You call THAT proper formation!? Feet together! Arms down! No slouching!" She said before hitting one of Scary Girl's feet, Damien's crossed arms, Emma's slightly-slouching back, and hitting Ripper a bunch for seemingly no reason.
"It's…Axel!" Chef finished before showing the girl's full form. A lot of campers were surprised, but Ripper…Terrified.
(Confessional)
Ripper- "Okay, Axel is the person I least wanna see. Because I actually screwed up in her elimination! [Flashbacks to when Ripper said "Well…That should do her in.]
Axel- Chef brought me back on account of it being a military challenge. I learned why Ripper wanted me to help the team when the episode came out, and while I signed a contract saying I couldn't disclose any information to the other campers…It doesn't mean I can't single out one of them and give them a harder time."
(Confessional End)
"Alright, first things first! You will no longer address me as "Chef", but you will instead address me as "Drill Sergeant"! Do I make myself clear!?" Drill Sergeant asked. "Yes sir, Drill Sergeant!/Yes sir, Drill Sergeant!" Wayne and Raj exclaimed.
"Secondly, when you feel yourself about to drop dead, you will drop out of the current exercise! And since these exercises are more intense than last time…I expect more than one quitter on Day 1, and the last one standing will win invincibility for their team." Drill Sergeant continued.
"You will sleep when I tell you to sleep! You will eat when I tell you to eat! And you will got to the bathroom when I tell you to go to the bathroom! Do I make myself clear!?" Drill sergeant finished.
"Yes Drill Sergeant!" Everyone exclaimed. "Good, now move out to the beach everyone! It's time for your warm-up!" Axel hit the stick against the dock, making a cracking noise, and causing the ten campers to run offscreen.
It then cut to both teams standing on the beach, there were huge backpacks on the ground. "For this first exercise, you will be running around the island's coastline…While wearing these heavy backpacks." Drill Sergeant explained.
"Doesn't sound too hard." Ripper said before going to pick up one of the backpacks, but finding it really difficult. "Ugh, what're in these things, rocks?" Ripper asked before the backpack opened and a bunch of rocks spilled out.
It time skipped ahead to show everyone wearing a backpack and slowly jogging across the beach. "Pick up the pace, Cadets! And remember, this doesn't end until at least one person drops out!" Axel shouted through a megaphone.
"So, how you guys holdin' up?" Raj asked Wayne and Emma. "I could go at this for hours, man." Wayne answered. "Oh i'm just *pant* *pant* Keeping on keeping on!" Emma also answered.
It panned over to show Priya running alongside Scary Girl and Ripper, Priya was making weird movements with her body though. "Um, what're you doing?" Scary Girl asked. "I am distributing the extra weight throughout my body, I am using less energy this way." Priya explained.
"...She's always full of surprises, isn't she?" Ripper asked Scary Girl. "You're telling me." She responded. It briefly panned over to MK, who was hunched over and struggling to run with the giant backpack.
It jumped forward a little later, it showed the states of all the campers. Wayne and Raj were doing just fine, Caleb was also doing good, but he was starting to slow down a little. Millie and Ripper looked about ready to collapse, Priya was still doing well. Damien and Scary Girl looked tired, Emma was starting to lag behind, and MK wasn't doing much moving in general.
"Soldier, what is your major malfunction!?" Drill Sergeant drove up to MK on an ATV. MK responded by collapsing under the weight of the backpack, that was almost half the size of her.
"Looks like we've got ourself a quitter! Everyone else, we're finished…! With the warm-up, follow Axel over to the next exercise!" Drill Sergeant instructed. "Um, Drill Sergeant sir? I can't feel my spine." MK said, still under the backpack.
It then cut over to the now nine campers standing by a green canoe and a grey canoe. "Cadets, your next exercise will be to hold a canoe of your respective team's color over your heads." Axel announced.
"So basically like the original then?" Ripper asked. "Did you have permission to speak, fatty!? Thirty push-ups, now!" Axel ordered. "Yes ma'am." Ripper rolled his eyes before getting on the ground.
"The rest of you…Begin!" Axel exclaimed. Then everyone grabbed their team's canoe and held it over their heads. "Does it feel like we have an unfair advantage?" Caleb asked. "I dunno, but we shouldn't underestimate the other team, remember?" Raj answered.
(Confessional)
Emma- "This has been the most torturous thing i've ever done in my life! I can't believe i'm saying this but…I miss Chris right now!"
Raj- "Yeah this challenge was definitely made for me and Wayne. We've tested our limits so many times, that even the most physically challenging thing isn't a problem for us!"
(Confessional End)
It cut back to the nine campers holding up their canoes (now Ripper was with The Frogs of Death). "Guys, I think my arms are getting tired." Scary Girl said. "Nuh-uh, it's only been like…Ten minutes! You gotta last longer than ten minutes!" Damien exclaimed.
"Please do not yell, that expels more energy than you are already using." Priya said. Then it panned over to the Ferocious Trout. "...So is everyone good?" Caleb asked. "Yep." "Good so far." "My arms are still keepin' on!" Emma, Raj, and Wayne responded.
"It's a real shame that MK didn't last that long." Emma said. "Well at least she doesn't have to suffer through this like we do." Raj added. "Did I say you all could speak!? Zip it and hold it!" Drill Sergeant exclaimed.
It panned up to show the sky, it then fast forwarded to nighttime. It panned back down to show both teams, now looking tired and strained. "It looks like the campers are missing dinner. Eh, Drill Sergeant?" Axel asked, sitting criss-cross on The Frogs of Death's canoe.
"Looks like it, guess they weren't HUNGRY after all!" Drill Sergeant exclaimed, sitting criss-cross on the Ferocious Trout's canoe. "*inhale* *exhale* …I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" Scary Girl exclaimed before taking her hands off the canoe.
"Aww, somebody's quitting already? It's only been nine hours." Axel said. Scary Girl faceplanted onto the sand, then Drill Sergeant and Axel hopped off the canoes. "Drop your canoes maggots, it's time for supper!" Drill Sergeant announced. There were various low-energy cheers at the announcement.
Meanwhile, looking on from the closest treeline. "*sigh* Chef's really runnin' them ragged, eh?" The figure looked around, realizing nothing was listening to him. "What the- where'd you go?"
It cut over to the eight remaining campers all marching in two straight lines, with Drill Sergeant in the front and Axel in the back. "Oh man, I can't wait to get me some food. I don't care what it is, I needs to eat!" Damien quietly exclaimed. Ripper was behind Damien, and he had a contemplative look on his face.
(Confessional)
Ripper- "Look, this may sound a bit dramatic. But I think my whole "friendship" thing with Scary Girl is falling apart, since she's spending a lot more time with that Emma girl, and thus has less opportunities to be manipulated…I need someone to fill in the gap…"
(Confessional End)
It cut to the campers standing in the Mess Hall, there were several trash cans in front of them. "*sigh* Just like the original challenge, how…Original." Ripper said sarcastically. "Excuse me, Drill Sergeant? Where's dinner?" Wayne asked.
"Why, it's right over there." Drill Sergeant motioned to the trash cans. Caleb went over and opened one, and the second he did, he was met with a stench so repulsive that it forced him to run out of the Mess Hall and throw up.
"What the hell're in those things!?" Millie asked. "Leftovers from this week." Drill Sergeant explained. "This WEEK!?" Millie asked again. "Hey, when you're at war, you gotta take what you can get!" Axel exclaimed.
"So eat up!" Drill Sergeant said before turning to Axel. "I hear the folks over in Craft Services made Surf 'n Turf." "Well serve me up some of that!" Drill Sergeant and Axel exited the Mess Hall.
"I'm sorry but…I just can't eat that stuff." Caleb said. "I do not think any of us will eat garbage. Even for a challenge." Priya said, before the sounds of opening lids could be heard. Wayne and Raj were already digging through the trash, Raj even grabbed a small clump of…Something, and ate it.
"...What? We've stomached worse things." Wayne said. "What…Are you two?" Caleb asked in total awe at his teammates. After that whole interaction, Ripper approached Damien. "Hey dude, how's it hanging?" Ripper asked.
"It's aight, the challenge has been a real killa on me. So whatchu want?" Damien responded. "Well, i'll be frank with this one." Ripper looked around to see if anyone was listening. "I'd like to propose an alliance. You help me, I help you, it's a win-win." Ripper whispered.
"An alliance…? Well, Millie is on my ass, and the Scary bi-*bleep* seems to be on her side…Sure, why not?" Damien answered. "Glad to hear it." Ripper shook Damien's hand.
(Confessional)
Damien- "Ayooo, i'm part of an alliance now! And since Ripper's got that Priya girl on his side…We got…We got the majority vote!"
Ripper- "Okay…That was a lot easier than I thought it would be."
(Confessional End)
It jumped ahead…I don't know how long, but Drill Sergeant and Axel re-entered the Mess Hall. "Cadets, I hope you had your fill, because it's time for the next exercise!" Axel announced.
"Seriously? But it's getting late, and we-", Caleb was cut off by Drill Sergeant. "Boy, don't even finish that sentence! Like I said, you will sleep when I tell you to sleep! Got that!?" Drill Sergeant asked.
"Y-Yes Drill Sergeant sir!" Caleb responded. After that, it cut to show the eight campers still in the Mess Hall, but now sitting at their team's respective table. "You're next exercise is to write a 5,000 word essay on why i'm such a generous and kind individual." Drill Sergeant instructed.
"And I know someone's about to complain, or say somethin' sarcastic, so for this exercise…There will be no talking whatsoever!" Drill Sergeant ordered. Axel proceeded to pass a bunch of paper and pencils around (Ripper's pencils being noticeably more dull than everyone else's), and everyone got to work.
It panned over to show a clock in the Mess Hall, in cut multiple times to show that almost four hours had passed. When it cut back to the campers, a huge majority looked completely dead inside and out.
Drill Sergeant and Axel (who looked strangely well-rested) went around and collected the essays. Priya passed, Caleb passed, Ripper was able to pass, Damien somehow passed, Wayne and Raj passed…But it looked like the exercises were starting to wear them down.
Others…Weren't so lucky. Millie had fallen asleep, and Emma was staring off into the distance. Drill Sergeant collected her essay and began reading. "Drill Sergeant Hatchet is a generous and kind individual because he is…" Drill Sergeant paused, removed his sunglasses, took out a pair of reading glasses, put them on, then silently continued reading.
"...Half of this is just gibberish! You expect this to count!?" Drill Sergeant asked. "Emma responded by faceplanting into the table. "Brain…Tired…Need…Sleep…" Her muffled voice said. "Well, you failed the challenge. But hey, you have nothing to be ashamed of…Except letting the whole team down!" Drill Sergeant exclaimed, waking up Millie.
"Listen up everyone! I congratulate you all for lasting this long, but before you can get some shuteye…There's one last exercise you must do." Drill Sergeant announced. "For real man?" Damien asked. "Honestly…Bring it *yawn* on!" Raj exclaimed.
"Hehehe, oh…I will." Drill Sergeant said before walking away. "Meet back at the beach in ten, Cadets!" Axel ordered as she too left the Mess Hall. "Ugh, I don't know how much more of this I can take!" Caleb exclaimed.
"Ya got that homie, I passed that by my teeth's skin." Damien added. "Don't you mean, "by the skin of my teeth"?" Ripper asked. "Yeah, that too." Damien responded. "And how come the Indian chick isn't miserable like the rest of us?" Damien asked.
"I dearly apologize, but I am just not feeling that tired. I have gone various nights without sleep before." Priya explained. "But this is the first day…We've done lots of draining "exercises", and even we're starting to feel the effects." Wayne explained, pointing to himself and Raj at that last statement.
"*sigh* Well, Axel said we had to be back at the beach…Might as well get there before Chef makes us run around the island a hundred times just for being late." Ripper said. One by one, the campers got up and left the Mess Hall.
And one by one, the cameras either left or were shut off. And after the coast was clear…"Finally, I thought they'd never leave." The figure snuck out of the Mess Hall, carrying a sack full of food from the kitchen.
It cut over to the remaining campers, they were chatting amongst themselves before a voice snapped them all to attention. "Oh, hi everyone!" Walking towards them was Scary Girl, MK, and a still tired-looking Emma and Millie.
"Oh, what're you guys doing here?" Caleb asked. "Che- I mean, Drill Sergeant told us to come to the beach, apparently everyone's involved in this exercise." Scary Girl explained. "Seriously, everyone? I shudder to imagine what it could be." Raj said.
It time skipped over to show Axel sitting by a boombox playing a song reminiscent to "Thriller", Drill Sergeant was doing a variety of dance moves, all ending in a series of thrusts. It then cut to the ten campers, mimicking the dance moves.
"This is a real workout, i'll tell ya that." Wayne said to Emma. "...Huh?" Emma turned to Wayne with bags under her eyes. "Dude…I actually think I may not last past this exercise." Raj said.
"Just hang in there, we've tackled worse things!" Wayne exclaimed before cutting back to Drill Sergeant, doing a few new dance moves. After a little bit, it cut back over to the campers, more specifically to Ripper.
Ripper was dancing slower than everyone else, until eventually, he fell to his knees and onto the ground. Axel blew her whistle, "You, tub of lard! Your tour of duty is finished!" At this, several people began to stop dancing. "Did we say you could stop!?" Drill Sergeant asked.
"But someone dropped out, the exercise should be over." Caleb said. "This exercise is different, you're dancing to a song's extended-no lyrics version. The exercise doesn't end until the song ends." Axel explained.
There were various groans at the explanation. Before the song and dancing continued. It panned up to the sky and fast forwarded to show that the sun was starting to rise. It panned back down to show that Axel had taken over the dancing at this point.
It cut back to the campers to show that all the previously dropped out campers had dropped out again, and the remaining campers were barely dancing coherently. It all came to a head when, in a slow motion sequence, Raj finally collapsed.
"Raj, no!" Wayne shouted with as much energy as he could muster. Shortly after though, the song finally ended. "So, it seems we only lost two people in the exercise." Axel said. "I'm honestly a little impressed…A LITTLE impressed." Drill Sergeant walked up.
"Alright maggots, you've earned yourselves a few hours to sleep. I wouldn't waste 'em!" Drill Sergeant instructed. At that, the four remaining campers slogged their way to the cabins. "Think we should make the next one a little easier?" Drill Sergeant asked his Co-Host.
"…Nah!/…Nah!" They both said. It cut over to the almost zombie-like campers, one however was more concerned than the rest.
(Confessional)
Priya- "I feel terrible due to the fact that I am not as tired as everybody else. I hope a nap will at least help my fellow competitors a little bit."
(Confessional End)
Meanwhile, with the dropouts who could stay conscious. "So whatcha think they're gonna have them do next?" Scary Girl asked. "Well if it's anything like that God awful dancing…This challenge should be over soon." MK responded.
"Personally, I DO hope it ends- *yawn* -soon. All the stress of the challenge, the backbreaking demands, *sigh* poor Wayne must be so exhausted." Emma quietly said. "I'm sorry, what was that?" Scary Girl leaned in a little bit.
"N-Nothing!" Emma exclaimed. "Well, looks like day of the dead came early this year." Millie said, pointing to the tired campers walking towards the cabins. "I wonder how many ended up dropping out? After a whole night, it had to be more than one." MK said.
"I guess we'll find out after the break." Scary Girl said before the screen paused, cutting to Drill Sergeant in a camera room. "Speaking of breaks…With only four campers left, who will be the last one standing? And who will be the one to let their team down at the finish line? Find out after the break on Total…Drama…Island!" Drill Sergeant exclaimed.
(Cut to Commercial)
It cut back to show the four non-dropped out campers sleeping in their respective cabins, others were there too, but they had most of the focus. It cut to an outside shot of both cabins, where a combat boot stomped into frame.
And then the familiar sound of a whistle being blown. "Alright Cadets, naptime's over! Time to resume the exercises!" Axel exclaimed. "Ugh, already?" Wayne said from inside the cabin. It time skipped to Caleb, Damien, Priya, and Wayne all facing Drill Sergeant.
"Look alive maggots, I gave you three hours to rest! I hope you're all ready for the Penultimate Exercise!" Drill Sergeant exclaimed. "Penultimate? So we are almost done?" Priya asked, with more energy than the others.
"Yeah, that's what penultimate means, Cadet. After this, the campers who managed to last will head on to the final exercise…Where only ONE will win." Axel explained. Drill Sergeant proceeded to pull back a mysterious curtain that didn't seem to be attached to anything, revealing a large obstacle course.
"You're goal will be to make it through this course in sixty seconds or less. If you do manage to make it, then you get to sit out and watch everyone else try, but if you don't…KEEP TRYING UNTIL YOU DO!" Drill Sergeant explained.
"Yes Drill Sergeant!" Everyone replied. "Mm-hm, now double-time it! Go go go!" Drill Sergeant ordered. It cut over to the beginning of the obstacle course, Axel was standing there with her whistle.
"Alright Cadets, here's the situation! You have to get over that wall, climb through that tire, crawl under the barbed wire, climb up the rope wall, make it across the mud pit, and you have to do it all in sixty seconds!" Axel explained.
"Aw sh-*bleep* this is messed up, yo." Damien said. "I don't care if it's messed up, because the exercise starts right…Now!" Axel blew her whistle. The four ran as fast as they could. Priya approached the wall first, followed by Caleb, then Wayne, and Damien was a close last.
(Confessional)
Wayne- "I haven't been "off my game" in a while. All I can hope is that I either manage to pull out a win for this, or that someone else drops out before me…This challenge really is making us all miserable isn't it? At least Chef's doing his job correctly.
(Confessional End)
It cut back to show the campers still attempting the obstacle course, when suddenly a helicopter landed nearby. And shortly after it landed, out hopped none other than Chris McLean. "So, I take it things have been running smoothly since i've been away?" Chris looked over to Drill Sergeant. "Just look for yourself." Drill Sergeant motioned to the tired campers running the obstacle course.
"Awesome! It looks like one of the SUPER physical challenges got through after all…But I was barely here." Chris said. "I'm sure your meetin' with those guys from the network was more important, so how was it?" Drill Sergeant asked.
"Umm…" Suddenly a flashback occurred. Chris was sitting at the end of a boardroom table, and at the other end, the two people, a boy and a girl, had stopped paying attention to him. And were instead looking at clothes on a laptop. "Ooh Tom, look at this one!" The girl said. "*gasp* OMG, and it's on sale!?" The boy, now known as Tom, exclaimed.
Chris was just awkwardly looking at the ordeal before it cut back to the present. "Honestly…I think they forgot I was there." Chris responded. "Well, i'm sure you got this under control. I REALLY need a nap after that meeting." Chris walked offscreen.
It cut back to the obstacle course, Priya made it over the wall, through the tire, and she was currently crawling under the barbed wire. Caleb made it over the wall, but was struggling to make it through the tire, Wayne was just a little behind Priya, and Damien was sluggishly moving throughout the course.
It time skipped ahead a little bit to show that Priya was the first person to reach the end, Drill Sergeant was sitting in a lounge chair and drinking a coconut drink before he looked at a stopwatch with Priya's face taped to it.
"Seventy-one seconds, try again!" Drill Sergeant exclaimed. Shortly after that, Wayne ran up. "Eighty-two seconds, even worse!" Then Caleb finished the course. "Ninety-seven seconds, are you even trying!?" And finally, it was Damien. "A hundred-twenty-four seconds, you might as well give up now!"
It then showed a montage of the campers trying and failing at multiple parts of the obstacle course, a disappointed Chef holding up their respective stopwatches, and slowly more of the dropped-out campers began to come and watch.
The montage ended with Priya swinging over the mud pit and running over to Drill Sergeant, he picked up her stopwatch. "Fifty-seven seconds, congratulations soldier! You can take a breather." Drill Sergeant said.
"*phew* Thank you Drill Sergeant." Priya said as she walked offscreen, leaving the three remaining boys to do the course. Then Wayne showed up again, with a pleading look on his face.
"Sixty-eight seconds, not good enough. Do it again!" Drill Sergeant ordered. Wayne looked like he died a little inside as he went back to the start, but before he went through again, he saw Emma and a tired Raj cheering him on. And in what could only be described as a "sports movie moment", Wayne felt a surge of energy rush through him, and jetted through the obstacle course.
(Confessional)
Axel- "Okay…What happened!?"
Raj- "I'd say the adrenaline must finally be kicking in. I mean someone JUST completed the course, and you feel close to collapsing…That'd activate my reserves."
(Confessional End)
It briefly cut to Caleb, who was crawling through the barbed wire, only to be quickly passed by Wayne. It cut over to Damien, who was slowly climbing up the rope wall, just to have Wayne overtake him. And then it cut over to Drill Sergeant who was about to cut into a familiar-looking coconut to make himself a new drink, until Wayne suddenly appeared.
"I'm here Drill Sergeant!" Wayne stood at attention. Drill Sergeant checked Wayne's stopwatch. "Fifty-eight seconds, massive improvement. You can rest now, soldier." Drill Sergeant said.
Wayne took a few steps before smiling. "Heh, I did it…" But then the adrenaline started to wear off and he began to fall. But before he could hit the ground, someone caught him. "Don't worry man, rest up for a bit…You did it." Raj said.
But it briefly panned over to MK, who was looking at the interaction with a conflicted expression. She then walked away, but a now-present Ripper noticed this, and became curious.
(Confessional)
MK- "Look, Wayne and Raj are amazing teammates, but their actions throughout this challenge have me…Concerned, more than usual. I don't want to think this, but I fear that if at least one of them isn't eliminated soon…They'll dominate the whole game, my thinking might be flawed but it's still something to be worried about."
(Confessional End)
MK stepped out of the Confessional, and Ripper poked his head out from behind it. And he looked devious to say the least. It then time skipped back over to the obstacle course, and the remaining two weren't looking so good.
"Huh, y'know I could imagine Caleb lasting for a long time, but I never woulda thought Damien would last this long." Scary Girl said. "I know right, I thought the fool would have given up a long time ago." Millie added.
But as if the universe was listening in, Damien suddenly stopped, and fell into the mud pit. But he made little attempt at getting up. "That's it, I give up! I can't do dis sh-*bleep* no mo'!" Damien exclaimed.
"Another quitter? It's about time!" Axel exclaimed. "I salute the recruits who've endured everything so far. But it's almost time for the final challenge to begin! You get one hour to rest before the final exercise, dismissed!" Drill Sergeant announced.
"Oh, thank God!" Caleb said, still on the course. "Yeah…" A still tired Wayne also said. It cut ahead one hour to show Caleb, Priya, and Wayne hanging upside down from a tree. "This exercise is the most brutal. Soon you'll feel all the blood rushin' to your head. The dizziness…The disoriented feeling." Drill Sergeant went on.
"So, how're they doing?" Chris walked up alongside Drill Sergeant. "Oh it should be over anytime now." Drill Sergeant responded. "Hehe, can't wait." Chris said as it cut back to the campers.
"Come on guys, you can do this!" Emma exclaimed. "I dunno, i'm starting to get a…Little…Woozy…" Caleb said before dropping to the ground. There were multiple sounds of pain from the other campers, until it panned back to Caleb, who had crossed eyes and a crooked smile on his face.
"One down, only two more to go!" Axel exclaimed. Suddenly it cut over to Ripper and Damien (now in some new clothes). "This could go on for a while longer, but I have a plan to deal with this." Ripper whispered. "Straight up? Well what is it?" Damien whispered back.
Ripper whispered his plan, causing Damien to widen his eyes, then to smile. "Well, that's quite devilish. I like it." Damien said. "But first I need to do my thing, then i'll signal you to do yours." Ripper explained.
It then cut to Priya and Wayne, Priya almost seemed to be meditating, but Wayne wasn't as relaxed. "Ugh…How're you able to handle this?" Wayne asked. "I just imagine myself meditating, I may be hanging from a tree instead of sitting on the ground, but that makes no difference." Priya answered.
"I wish I had your mindset." Wayne said, before it cut to MK. "You know you're lucky." MK turned to see Ripper walking up beside her. "Lucky? Why am I lucky?" MK asked. "I've taken notice all throughout this challenge…You have some strong teammates, those hockey-guys. This may just be me but, I think they could both make it to the merge…Maybe even dominate it." Ripper started.
"You…Really think so?" MK asked. "Yeah, the bros. Finale. I don't wanna think about it, but it very well might happen." Ripper then tapped his head three times. "So why-", but MK was interrupted by screaming.
She looked over to see that Damien had pulled up Emma's skirt, there were multiple shocked expressions, and then Wayne was heard screaming before falling to the ground, then Emma turned around and kicked Damien in the stomach.
"Wait, what happened!?" Priya shouted from the tree. "What happened was, even if it was by questionable means…The Frogs of Death win the challenge!" Chris announced. At that, there was lots of confused cheering, and it seemed that Emma had run off at some point.
MK turned back to Ripper, only to see that he was smirking.
(Confessional)
MK- "Okay, there was something fishy about that whole thing. I mean, Damien hasn't shown much, if not any interest in Emma so far, and Ripper walking up was pretty sketchy…Could it be?"
(Confessional End)
It cut to Drill Sergeant approaching Priya, who was back on the ground. "Congratulations Priya, i'd gladly go to war with you anytime!" Drill Sergeant saluted. "Um, thank you, so would I." Priya responded as she walked away.
"And Ferocious Trout, it seems you're on your first losing streak. I'd decide on who you're gonna vote for!" Chris exclaimed. It cut to a while later, Wayne was standing outside the still-destroyed Communal Washroom. "Emma, please come out. I didn't mean to see, honest!" Wayne exclaimed.
There was only silence on the other side. "She just needs some time, dude. I mean, she did have her underwear exposed in front of the whole world." Raj said, which caused a groan from inside the Washroom.
It then cut over to MK, who was approaching Caleb. "Oh, what's up MK?" Caleb said. "Nothing much…Well actually, i've recently been having some thoughts about something. And I need your opinion on it." MK said.
"Well this must be serious, what is it?" Caleb asked. "I'll just get it out in the open…I want to vote out either Wayne or Raj." MK responded. "...Alright, i'll help." Caleb said. "Wait, what!?" MK exclaimed.
"I saw those two eating garbage so nonchalantly. I have nothing against either of them but them together are just too much of a threat." Caleb explained. "Oh, well we have two votes. Meaning we just need…" MK diverted her attention to the door of the Communal Washroom slowly opening.
"Emma." She finished as the person in question walked out. It then cut over to The Frogs of Death's cabin, where Ripper and Damien were sitting on the front steps. "Boy that girl's got some kick." Damien said, rubbing his stomach.
"I apologize, but it was necessary for the plan to work. Wayne has a crush on Emma, so him suddenly seeing her…Delicates, would definitely cause him to lose focus." Ripper explained. "I gotta admit, I really didn't think you had it in you, homie." Damien said.
"What can I say…I'm a bit of a planner." Ripper said before it cut over to the campfire pit. Chris was standing with the tray of marshmallows, Chef was back in his purple shirt and khaki pants, and even Axel was still there.
"Everyone must be tuckered out after this challenge, right? I hope Chef didn't run you TOO ragged, hehe." Chris said, which just caused multiple groans from the Ferocious Trout. "Now, there are only four marshmallows on this tray, if I call your name, you'll get a marshmallow, but if I don't, then-", "You have to walk down the Dock of Shame, board the Boat of Losers, and you can't come back…EVER!" MK interrupted.
"...Yeah, so the first marshmallow goes to…Caleb, Emma, and…Wayne." Chris announced, leaving MK and Raj. "This…Is the final marshmallow of the evening, you better hope all that stuff you did today wasn't for nothing!" Chris exclaimed.

"It's…A tie!" Chris announced. There were a couple of gasps. "A tie? But how?" MK asked. "Apparently someone didn't vote for either of you, now it's time to settle this…With a tiebreaker challenge!" Chris announced.
(Confessional)
Emma- "...I'm sorry, but I couldn't vote for my friends. In fact, I wouldn't have voted if I could…"
(Confessional End)
MK and Raj were facing the obstacle course from earlier. "Now, whoever can finish first, will stay in the game." Chris explained. "Alright, and…Go!" Chris exclaimed as MK and Raj ran from the starting point.
"MK had some trouble getting over the wall due to her height, which wasn't a problem for Raj. Raj climbed through the tire just as MK got over the wall. MK was able to climb through the tire a lot faster than Raj and was starting to catch up, Raj was crawling under the barbed wire and was starting to speed up.
They both reached the climbing wall at the same time, and MK was doing this REALLY fast. "Looks like she's using her smaller size to it's capabilities." Caleb commented. "What do you mean?" Emma asked. "She's smaller and skinnier than Raj, and she's more agile. Which is perfect for an obstacle course." Caleb explained.
"This just caused Emma to start cheering even louder for Raj, almost as loud as Wayne was. But MK made it to the top first, and began to climb down. Raj made it up just as MK finished climbing down, she quickly ran over to the mud pit as Raj was halfway down the climbing wall.
MK swung over and then…She made it, ran forward, and went straight to the finish line. Chris blew an airhorn, "And that's the tiebreaker folks, Raj has been eliminated!" Chris announced. This caused Emma to gasp. "Raj…No." Wayne said.
It cut to a while later, Raj was carrying his bag and wearing the Jazzmen home jersey from the hockey episode. "*sigh* I'm sorry man, but you and Wayne were becoming huge threats." Caleb said. "Actually…It's alright, knowing that you've been eliminated due to being a threat instead of something stupid is actually…I can't really describe it, but it's kinda exhilarating." Raj said before giving Caleb a fistbump.
Then Raj walked over to MK. "At least you get to stay in the game a little longer, don't squander the opportunity." "Oh, you bet I won't." Raj shook MK's hand before moving on to Wayne and Emma. "It's not gonna be the same without you, man." Wayne said.
"I'm sorry I didn't just vote with you guys…" Emma looked at the ground. "Ah it's okay, personally i'd actually want Wayne to stay over me." Raj said. "Really? But why?" Wayne asked. "I don't wanna break up somethin' that hasn't finished forming yet." Raj smirked as he motioned to Emma and Wayne, before making a kissy face.
"Raj!" Wayne punched Raj in the shoulder, and Raj just started laughing. "Let's go, Cadet!" Axel exclaimed, pointing to the Dock of Shame. "Well, so long guys!" Raj then started walking down the Dock of Shame. It then cut to Raj and Axel in the Boat of Losers, being driven away.
It then panned over to Chris. "What'll we do to one-up that pain-train of a challenge? And will I leave Chef in charge of something again? Find out on the next episode of Total…Drama…Island!" Chris announced. "And cut! Feelin' good Chris, feelin' good." Chris said as the cameras shut off.
It then cut over to the Communal Washroom, Wayne entered and started to wash his hands. That was when he saw what looked to be a purple fur toque on the end of the counter. "Huh, I wonder if this is MK's? She wears stuff like this, maybe she misplaced it or something?" Wayne picked it up before exiting the Washroom.
But hiding in a stall, was the very owner of that toque, wondering just how it managed to fall off his head.

Author's Note- Post Script
So that was "episode" 7, meaning we're at the halfway point! I hope you all enjoyed it.
So yeah, it was Raj's time to go. And it's a shame because I really liked writing the "bro" dynamic between him and Wayne.
I actually did have something else planned for Raj, but again, that's for the "Making Of" chapter that'll be released at the end.
So look out for more!
