"WAKEY WAKEY EGGS AND BAKEY DUDE!" AHH! I jumped up after hearing someone yell. I looked up and saw Geoff.

"Dude, what the heck was that? Oh and never say wakey wakey eggs and bakey again."

"Come on dude. Everyone else is already up. Let's go on a morning run to get some fresh air."

"Dude I don't want to go on a run, and I am not going on a run." I turned back over.

"Oh yes you are." He's really not giving in. Alright, time to use his own naivety against him.

"No I'm not."

"Yes"

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"Yes"

"Yes"

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"Dude, I'm going on that run!" I yelled pretending to sound angry.

"No you're not! You're staying here whether you like it or not!" He yelled back walking out the cabin. It's almost too easy. Although now I can't get back to sleep. Might as well get up. I got dressed and went outside. Though I'm feeling a bit better from yesterday, I feel like I'm forgetting something.

I looked at the other bunks, Geoff was right, everyone else was up and gone. Him and Mal.

...

...

...

One idiotic moment later.

GAH MAL! I was too caught up in all that went down yesterday I forgot to tell the others about Mal. Dang it. Great, now I need to find time to tell them without him around. I need to do some stress graffiti. It's something I came up with when I'm stressed and feel like punching someone. "Time for a classic skull and crossbones." I started spraying the side of the cabin. I love vandalism. It makes me happy.

"Aww what a cute bunny." I heard Zoey's voice from behind me. Have I mentioned that I don't like being called that?

"Please don't me that." I told her turning around.

"I was talking about your painting." Huh? I turned around and saw my crossbones did look like a bunny. AGAIN!

"Argh! Forget it." I tossed my can if spray behind me and it hit a some jeep. The jeep made a weird noise.

"What the?" I walked to the jeep and popped the hood. "It isn't supposed to make that sound. Let's see." I started messing around with the hood of the jeep.

"Attention everyone, please meet in the front of the campgrounds. Right where Duncan is being all nice." I really hate that bastard Chris.

I finished up the jeep as everyone was gathered around, including a dirt covered Geoff. "I'll get you back for Bugs Bunny-ing me." I just smirked as he walked by.

"Duncan, you fixed my jeep. You're a good kid." I turned to see Chef in the jeep driving off. Dang it, I didn't mean to fix it for him.

"Alright kiddies, I have an announcement. Today, the teams are officially merged. It's once again every man, woman, and Cameron for them self."

"WHOO! MADE THE MERGE TWICE!" Geoff shouted. "Ain't this awesome D-Man?"

"I mean I made merge four times, but who's counting." I smirked.

"ENOUGH WITH THE SELF PROMOTION DUNCAN!" That bastard of a host yelled in my ear with a megaphone. "Now, this week's challenge is a regatta."

"A re- whata?" I asked.

"A regatta. A boat race."

"Well why not say that?"

"Because I'm classy. Hello?" Ok. An intern soon wheeled in a tv. "Now, we have a selection of boats to choose from. First come first serve. Two speedboats, a rusty powerboat, a swan boat, a rubber dingy, a raft, a viking boat, and the boat of losers driven by total drama classic competitor." On the tv screen showed-

"TYLER!" Well someone sure sounds happy.

"Yes, thank you Lindsay for almost rupturing my ear drums." Doesn't feel so good does it.

"Anyway, you'll all be racing to the finish line some ways from here. But be warned, there will he obstacles. And some boats are floaty-er than others. First one to cross the finish line wins immunity. But, the last person to cross the line WILL be eliminated! And we will still have an elimination ceremony. So this is a double elimination episode." Woah, a double elimination. That's harsh. " Oh and Lindsay, Tyler has been instructed to go whenever someone gets to the boat if losers first. So unless he's told to wait, he will not be waiting for you to arive if you aren't the first there. Alrighty campers, on your marks, get set, GO!" We all started running. Up ahead Courtney and Gwen made it to a speedboat, and Mal took the other. I slowed down a bit to talk to Lindsay and Geoff.

"Guys listen, we have to make sure not to come in last. Now that we're merged, we'll be easy targets if we don't stick together."

"Rad idea dude. For now though, let's all get different boats so we'll have a better chance of winning." Geoff said running ahead. Up ahead Scott took the rusty powerboat, while Alejandro took the boat of losers, much to Lindsay's chargin. Geoff took the rubber dingy. All the other boats didn't look to sturdy, except the raft Cameron and Zoey were on.

"One side!" I said as me and Lindsay jumped on. "This is the only boat that floats."

"Figures, now let's go." Zoey shouted as she and Cameron paddled while me and Lindsay used our arms.

This seems like a good time. "Hey while we're here, there's something I need to let you guys in on."

"What is it Duncan? Is it about what you started telling me before the boxing challenge?"

"That's right. Alright, I'll try and make it as simple as possible. It's about Mike. He isn't really Mike right now. He as a secret evil personality name Mal, I met him in juvie and he's bad news. He'll cause trouble just for the laughs. And he's not afraid to hurt someone." I studied all their facial expressions. Zoey and Lindsay were wide eyed, but Cameron looked a bit skeptical.

"Uh, that sounds a bit too far fetched to believe Duncan." It's always the smart guys you gotta convince.

"Well it's the truth. And I'm sure he's the one who broke everyone's stuff, including my pocket knife." I told him pulled out my broken pocket knife.

"Well what makes you think it was him and not someone like Alejandro?"

"Because everyone who had something broken, me, Sam, Lindsay, even your glasses, were all on the heroes team. Alejandro was hardly around us and when he was he couldn't have broke anything without someone knowing. Point is, Mal is evil. I mean, why else would he break your glasses for crying out loud?"

"Hmm, I see your point. I'm still not completely convinced, but I'll keep an eye on him." Finally.

"That's good enough to me. What about you two?"

"Well I don't see a reason for to lie so I believe you." So Lindsay's now on my side. Zoey's the main one to convince.

"Umm I don't know. I know you told me about this before, but I'm just not sure how to believe it."

"I didn't expect you to fully believe, I just want you guys to be on your guard around him. Now let's finish this challenge." Atleast now they know to keep watch.

"Hey guys look, there's someone in the water!" Zoey pointed to someone floating up ahead. It looked like, oh no.

"TYLER!" Good thing I covered my ears that time.

Up ahead we saw Tyler floating in the water.

"Going our way?" I said as we stopped so he can climb on.

"I'm so happy to see you! Why were you in the water?" Lindsay asked her boyfriend.

"Great to see you too Linds. The boat of losers wasn't working right and I was trying to fix it, but Alejandro got impatient and tossed me overboard. Not cool." The jock explained.

"Well get him later, for now we gotta keep going!" I said as we started rowing again.


It's been about five minutes and we're only now coming up on Scott, who seemed to be having boat problems.

"Yo Scott, need a ride?"

"Please! Stupid boat doesn't wanna start up." He complained hopping onto our raft.

"The raft won't be able to go very fast with so many of us on it. If only we had a motor." Cameron said. I looked at him and saw a slight gleam in his eyes. "Wait, I have an idea." He then pushed Scott into the water.

"Hey!"

"Sorry Scott, nothing personal. Just attracting our motor." The bubble boy said pointing behind us. Uh is that a shark fin?

"Duncan, tie this rope to the raft."

"Alright but what are you planning?"

"You'll see." Well he's smart so I guess I'll trust him. I tied the rope to the raft. When I was done I saw him tie the other end if the rope near the end of the two oars, with Scott hanging from the very end of the oars with me and Tyler holding them.

"GET ME DOWN!" Scott yelled at us flailing around.

"You sure this is going to work Cam?" Zoey asked him.

"Positive. We need someone to taunt Fang so he'll come after us."

"Taunting? I'm your guy." Hey, can't pass up an opportunity to make a fish out of water feel bad about itself. "Hey you deformed sardine! Why don't you hide your ugly face, it's better for the environment!" I think it worked, the shark started coming after us. When he arrived it's fin got caught in the loop of the rope and started swimming trying to catch Scott, pulling us along with it.

"It worked/Alright/Ya/Extreme/Yes/Help!" We all cheered (or cried) respectfully.

"Looks like we're gaining on Mal!" I said seeing Mal up ahead.

"Are you sure it's Mal? Maybe it's still Mike." Zoey really isn't ready to believe huh.

"I'm still pretty sure it's Mal, but if you know a way to see be my guess."

"Whose Mal?" Oh right, forgot Scott doesn't know yet.

"I'll explain later." I told him.

"Well there is one way. If one of his other personalities are in control, Mike always returns whenever Zoey is in danger." How many time has that happen for him to realize that? "It I've only ever really considered it as a last resort."

Soon we heard booming sounds. Looking up we saw Chef throwing down dynamite.

"Well desperate times calls for desperate measures." Zoey said jumping into the dynamite infested water.

"Zoey no!" We all said. She started screaming for Mike's name. I looked back and saw him gasp. I think it worked. Wait no, he gasped again returning to Mal. So close.

"I don't think it worked." I said to them. But as we were passing him up, he turned back to help Zoey. Guess he's faking it so we don't get suspicious.

"Look out!" I heard Lindsay shout. I looked up and saw another stick of dynamite heading towards us. I caught it and looked at it. Now I know way better than to go and blow up Chris's stupid mansion, but maybe there's something else I can use this for.

"Hey Chef, think fast!" I shouted throwing the stick back at his hot air balloon, causing it to blow up. I saw Chef parachuting down mumbling something. Probably about me.

"Woah! Now that was EXTREME! Nice one Duncan!" Tyler shouting giving me a fist bump.

"Thanks man. Now let's keep going. The finish line is up ahead!" I told them pointing to the finish. We started catching up with everyone and were all neck n neck.

"Ohh and this is going to be a close one. It's going to be a photo finish!" Chris yelled out. Soon we all crossed the finish line were a picture was took. "Wow! That was awesome everyone. Now let's see who won and who didn't. The winner of the first merge is...

SCOTT! For being the first to cross the finish line thanks to being at the very tip."

"Yes! Guess it wasn't that bad after all." He then turned to Cameron looking angry. "But I'll get you back for it though!"

"Ahem. Now it's time to see who came in last and is eliminated from the competition. And that person is...

This is getting annoying.

"GET ON WITH IT!"

"You will not ruin my fun!"

Alejandro!"

"QUE?!" Woah, didn't see that coming.

"HA! That's what you get for throwing me off the boat! KARMA!" Tyler sure is happy.

"Better luck next time count luchadore."

"Gah! Man!"

Now, let's make our way back to-"

BOOM!!!

WHAT THE?!

"What the heck was that?!" Courtney asked.

Chris lifted up his binoculars.

"MY COTTAGE!!!" Chris shouted and started crying.

"You call that a college? It was a mansion!"

"Alright, who blew up my cottage?!" Almost everyone looked at me.

"What?"

"First Mount Chris more, and now my cottage?!"

"Hey it wasn't me. I been here the whole time. Lindsay, Cameron, Zoey, Scott, and Tyler can all confirm that."

"He's right. He hasn't left the raft since the challenge." Thank you bubble kid.

"Chef! Go and see what caused that explosion!" The host demanded. Chef walked away mumbling something about not getting paid enough.

"Who would go and blow up someone's mansion? And how?" Zoey asked

"Wouldn't surprise me if Duncan snuck in and left the gas on or something." Courtney's still accusing me?

"I'm a delinquent, not an idiot. I'd get sent to prison for something like that. And that's WAY different from juvie." And boy did I learn the hard way.


We're all now at the elimination ceremony. Alejandro was standing in the side. And Tyler sitting next to Lindsay.

"Well, Scott still won the challenge and Alejandro is still out." Chris said in a dejected voice. Scott cheered while Alejandro grunted.

"Do you know how many paintings of me was lost in that explosion. 127!" Sheesh, talk about ego.

Chef them came up to us holding something black, smelt burnt.

"Found what caused the explosion. Someone left this banana bread in the oven and set the setting to high."

"Ahe, uhh who could have done that?" Chef turned the bread around to show, Chris's damn face on the side of the bread.

"Seriously?" I said.

"Anyway, time to reveal the votes. And this is a first because the votes are unanimous. The eliminated all star is... Cameron!"

"What?!" We all said.

"But I didn't vote for Cam!" Zoey said.

"Me neither. Lindsay said.

"Well I did, but I didn't think he'd actually be eliminated." Scott said.

"Ya ya it's always a shocker. But the votes are final. Flush of shame awaits Cameron amd Alejandro.

Zoey, Lindsay, Tyler, and Mal all went to the docks.

"Now Scott, who do you want to bringing with you to the spa hotel?"

"I'll pick Duncan." Yes

"Thanks man." I said giving him a fist bump.


Me and Scott were eating like pigs in the hotel.

"Man, you can't get tired of this stuff."

"Ya, DJ's a great cook." I said eating steak. "Hey man, so I need to tell you what I was talking about when I said Mal earlier." I told him everything I told the others earlier.

"Wow, that guy sounds dangerous. We gotta get rid of him asap."

"My thoughts exactly. To getting rid of Mal." I said holding up a glass. We did a toast and finished our meal.

Man, I made past my original elimination episode. And I'm not in jail. Win win. But I can't rest up now. I still have a ways to go before defeating Mal and gaining my full redemption.


Sorry if the chapter isn't the best. Had a but of a writers block but I still got it done. Stay tuned for the next chapter.
