Merge

Boys - Pharaoh, Knick, Edgar

Girls – Niu, Georgia, Melissa


"Last time on Total Drama Lights, Camera, Finale," Casey narrated as the view showed the entire film lot and the clear sky. Flashbacks occurred.

"Due to the incredible drama after Sara's elimination, Chef decided to have the final eight duke it out in the final VR challenge with wizardry. Many battles played as rivalries increased and tensions settled. Such as Jett realizing his mistakes and giving a key to Pharaoh and Edgar. Also, Pharaoh and Christopher making amends with each other. In the end, Knick decided to eliminate Jett by his own hands for one lesser opponent to deal with. Niu won the challenge and voted off Christopher since he was the strongest contestant in the game, catching the surprise of many and disappointing many fans."

The flashbacks ended. Casey stood on a grassy field of a soccer stadium.

"After today the final six will become the final five. Which contestants shall shoot their victory into a basket?" Casey said as she pretended to shoot a basketball into a hoop.

"And who will be the one to miss the goal of coming so close to winning the season?" The hostess pretended she kicked a soccer ball. "Find out on this episode of Total… Drama… Lights, Camera, Finale!"


The theme song for Total Drama has an orchestral vibe to it while still being groovy. A camera pops out of the entrance to the Crowstillo Caverns from Crowstillo Island. Another camera pops out from a carnival booth. Then one shows itself from a clothes racket at the film lot. A smooth transition occurs on Camp Wawanakwa's high cliff. The camera drone dives into the water around the cliff, creating a splash.

Dear mom and dad, I'm doing fine

The full cast of Total Drama Island is shown inside the dodgeball court. Everyone is throwing dodgeballs at each other. It looks to be the Screaming Gophers on the left side of the court facing the Killer Bass on the right side of the court. Teens throw and get hit. Owen throws a fastball.

You guys are on my mind

The fast-moving dodgeball transitions to a tire. The camera pans out to show Duncan driving the Action Cast in a tram. He looks to be annoyed by Courtney's talking. This distracts him and crashes the tram with him and the cast into something off-screen. The smoke released from the tram enlarges.

You asked me what I wanted to be,

The smoke disappears to show the jumbo jet soaring in the sky.

and I think the answer is plain to see

The World Tour Cast jumps out of the jumbo jet with parachute bags. Alejandro winks at the audience before deploying his parachute. Quick zoom on the parachute.

I wanna be famous!

The parachute descends to show Cameron in his robotic suit fighting Lightning who has armor and carrying a mannequin leg with spikes at the 'coliseum' Chris build. The rest of the Revenge Cast are sitting at the bleachers cheering for either combatant. The fight ends when Cameron charges a ball of electricity on his iron suit's right fist and shoots at the camera. Though, it is clear it is for Lighting from the athlete's person of view.

I wanna live close to the sun

It is night and the blue madness full moon is glowing brightly. Mike inhales and turns into Mal. Someone throws Mr. Coconut at Mal's head off-screen to bring Mike back in control.

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

The camera pans to the right to show who throw Mr. Coconut. It is Zoey, who is smiling happily at getting her boyfriend back. The rest of the All-Stars cast is running away in the background from rabid fluffy rabbits.

Everything to prove, nothing in my way

Another transition displays itself. The Pahkitew Cast is inside the labyrinth of the artificial island running away from the scuba-bear and a mechanical orange cat. The cat stops to breathe fire from its mouth.

I'll get there one day

The fire stops and the next part shows the finalists of Crowstillo Island trying to complete the obstacle course. The rest of the cast is cheering for their favorite at the peanut gallery. Knick, Saraphina, and Casey take out one of their accessory clothes and throws it at the camera.

Cuz' I wanna be famous

The trench coat, scarf, and jacket fall from the camera lens. The Back to the Islands Cast is shown at Boney Island's Fun Zone using anti-mutant guns with orange liquid in them to turn the mutants from the show into normal animals. Jeremy accidentally shoots some liquid at the camera.

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na

The cameraman wipes off the orange liquid with a small handkerchief. Once done, at a cliff of Crowstillo Island, Yves and Knick are shown doing a sword battle against King Crowstillo. In the background, the rest of the Radiant Cast faces off Henry in his robotic suit. Henry activates a laser cannon from the suit's left arm and unleashes a laser blast.

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

Once the laser blast disappears, the Sleek Slushies from the Calamity Cast are riding the roller coaster at the carnival. Some are frightened, some are having fun. Marty turns on his camera so he can take pictures of all the carnival rides he can see. He flashes the camera that is recording him.

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

Once the bright flash ends, the Glided Chris Awards stage is shown where all finalists from the previous nine seasons are getting ready to have a picture taken. All finalists, Chris, and Chef whistle. Once the song is over, the picture is taken and the intro ends.


The episode started with Knick writing in his journal in the stone age set. He sat under a fake palm tree. Despite his victory in eliminating Jett in the last challenge, he still felt the pressure of being in the final six. The only other player to achieve this feat was Duncan back in the first three seasons of the show. Looking back, he never won a season just like him. Lost to Beth by votes during season two's finale.

Knick closed his journal and stood up. He looked at the roof. Sometimes he wanted to stop making everybody his enemy but getting caught up in the tension of the competition prevented him from doing so. He had the opportunity this time around when forming the Crowstillo Alliance. Yet, once again he had to go for himself.

Knick heard footsteps. Turning around Pharaoh stood there.

"What do you want?" Knick asked. "If you're coming at me with the whole, I've been butchering my friendship speech then don't bother. You're not going to be changing my ways."

"Obviously I can't because that depends on you," Pharaoh admitted. "I really just came here to let you know the legacy you'll have once the show is over. You're willing to do whatever it takes to win and if you do win, what will you have?"

"I just said not to talk to me about that," Knick stated. "Do you need Chef to do an ear checkup?"

"Fine I won't disturb you with whatever you're doing right now," Pharaoh replied. "Just know that the Crowstillo Alliance united us despite the qualms everyone had with you from the Crowstillo cast. I was even willing to call you, my friend."

Pharaoh left Knick alone to his thoughts.

Confessional – Pharaoh

"Am I happy that I made it to the final six? Yep, I'm glad I am this far in the game again. The last time I got here was during my first run pretending to be a royal jerk. Feels good. Though, I wish Christopher stayed to represent the Crowstillo cast. I know why Niu eliminated him, but it felt like a wasted opportunity to get rid of Knick or Georgia."

"I'm going to have to team up with the former Pre-Merge Alliance members to take those two down. Edgar and I are cool with each other since we have a common enemy. Niu will surely want to stick with a majority considering how many are left. As for Melissa… I mean, she kind of has to join. Would she really partner up with Knick or Georgia?"

End Confessional

Melissa currently exercised at the obstacle course inside the space set. Niu stood nearby with a blue towel on her shoulder.

"Go, go, go," Niu repeated as encouragement.

Melissa finished going through the barb wires. Sweat glistened from her skin.

"Okay, that's enough," The athletic nerd said between pants.

Niu approached Melissa and gave her the towel. Melissa grabbed the towel to wipe the sweat off her body.

"Glad to see you are preoccupying your mind from thinking of Jett," Niu said happily. "The first couple of hours after Buck left was hard for me."

"It still stings Knick decided to get rid of him. But I'm not going to mope around all about it. Jett will not want that. Neither do I," Melissa smiled as she finished using the towel. "I'm going to head to the showers then eat breakfast. Catch you later."

Confessional – Niu

"Even after eliminating Christopher, no one is targeting me since Knick and Georgia are still here. I'll admit picking Knick would have been a good play, but I didn't want to risk the chance of having to duel against Christopher for a finalist spot. Right now, I am aiming at Knick, then Georgia, and then Melissa. Why Melissa? Well, I don't want to deal with her in case she gets overcompetitive. Hope that doesn't happen at all."

End Confessional

Georgia peacefully slept on her bed inside the trailer that was used for the Blazing Gaffer girls. She yawned and then stretched as she raised her back. She removed her sheets.

"Ah, another day, another contestant to get rid of," Georgia told herself contently. A bright smile formed on her face.

Georgia looked at her hands. Her smile instantly dropped upon seeing what it is in front of her. Well, what was not in front of her? The gloves she used were not on her hands.

"M-m-m-m," Georgia stuttered. Her pupils shrunk. Her hands trembled. "My gloves. Where are my gloves?"

Panicking, she got out of her bed and headed toward the cabinet immediately. She opened one of the doors by using her toes to twist the doorknob. No gloves inside.

"Not there," Georgia became more unnerved. She opened the other doors. "Not there either, or here, or anywhere!"

Georgia used her teeth to yank all the bedsheets from each bed.

"Where are you my lovely gloves? Mama needs comfort," She checked under the beds. "Where… are… my… gloves!" She shouted.

Shivering is what the actress did next.

Confessional – Edgar

"Today is the day the interns take out most of the trash around the film lot. I snuck into where Georgia is sleeping last night to swipe her gloves out of her hands. Luckily, she is a heavy sleeper. I put the gloves in some garbage can that the interns most likely took away already. Surprised she did not have extras."

He gave a small smirk. "Eh, as long as it gets her off her game is not wrong. Have to thank Pharaoh for telling me about that issue she has."

End Confessional

The final six sat at a table in the crafts and services tent. All of them minus Georgia had their meals completed. The actress struggled to grab her food since she used her feet. One foot to steady the bowl while the other grabbed oatmeal with a spoon. The big issue lay in getting the food into her mouth. Which kept falling to the floor not even halfway.

Niu, Melissa, and Knick watched Georgia continue this, weirded out by what they were seeing. Edgar enjoyed every second of it.

"Hey, where are your gloves?" Pharaoh asked Georgia, feeling some concern for his ex.

"I don't know," Georgia answered kindly, which surprised everyone minus her ex. "They weren't in my hands when I woke up. I checked everywhere around the trailer. Even went to the trash cans all over the lot to check but they were all empty. I'm scared."

Pharoah growled to himself. He should not feel bad for his ex after what she pulled throughout the game. Yet only he knew out of the rest how scared Georgia gets without her gloves. After all, they used to be together.

"I'm going to hate myself in the morning," Pharaoh said to himself. He sat next to Georgia and took the spoon out of her foot. "Sit straight. I'm going to feed your breakfast. At least, what's left in the bowl."

"You'll do this for me? Even after everything I did?" Georgia wondered astonished.

"Don't make me regret this more than I already have. Just open, chew, and swallow," Pharaoh instructed.

"Yes sir," Georgia nodded.

Melissa, Knick, and Niu continued to baffle by what they watched. Edgar narrowed his eyes at Pharaoh for helping out his enemy.

"I've never seen her like this," Melissa said. "Is kind of creeping me out."

"I remember when watching Radiant Redemption she has germ issues with her hands," Niu conversated.

"Eh, as long she is weakened like this it will be easy to get rid of her," Knick shrugged, not caring for his opponent's wellbeing.

"Hopefully Pharaoh does not ruin it," Edgar mumbled quietly. He thought he was quiet enough but the other three heard him.

Casey and Meredith arrived inside the tent. The final six noticed Casey having a soccer ball in her left hand and a plastic volcano toy in her right hand.

"Good morning final six!" Casey happily greeted. "I see you all are ready for today's exciting and most likely deadliest challenge yet."

"Uh, what's with the soccer ball?" Melissa asked, starting to get nervous about what today's challenge could be.

"And the volcano," Niu added.

"Please don't tell me what I think today's mix challenge is," Knick pleaded.

"That's right. Today's challenge is a sport mixed disaster challenge!" Casey announced.

"No!" Melissa, Georgia, and Knick shouted at the same time.

"Whoa, geez, you three are jumpy," Casey giggled. "Save that energy during the challenge."

"Meet us inside soundstage four in thirty minutes for today's challenge," Meredith instructed.

"You're not going to give us history facts?" Pharaoh asked as he gave a spoonful of oatmeal to Georgia.

"Natural disasters have been on Earth for so long is hard to pinpoint which was the first cause. Similar to sports since every place has its own tradition," Meredith explained. "I'll be the referee for today. I even get a whistle." She squealed, knowing she can use a whistle.

Confessional – Niu

"Okay, I just want to say that I am excited about this challenge. Sure, the only sport I am good at is volleyball, but considering the people I am up against, me making it to the final five seems plausible."

Confessional – Edgar

"Man, I was hoping there would not be a sports challenge this season. Sure, I've gained muscle from exercising on that obstacle course all the time but there is a difference between being strong and knowing how to play sports. Takes a lot of practice. I don't care about humiliating myself, but I don't want to lose to either Georgia or Knick."

End Confessionals

The final six, Casey and Meredith stood on the soccer field. Meredith wore a referee uniform. Georgia shook constantly with fear knowing she will have to use her hands. The only sport she knows that does not allow you to use your hands is soccer. Even then Casey might have her as a goaler.

Melissa sat on the artificial grass and made a fetal position. She rocked back in forth mumbling to herself words that no one comprehended. Knick removed his trench coat and tied it to his forehead like the time he faced off against King Crowstillo. Like the other two girls, he found himself nervous facing this challenge.

Edgar also did not look too excited despite the disaster theme implemented. So far, he had not seen anything that looks like a natural disaster. Niu and Pharaoh were the most thrilled about this challenge.

"Glad to see that some people are excited for today. I know I am," Casey said gleefully. "Here's how today's challenge will work. Each contestant will play three matches. All matches are random including the sport and a natural disaster to go with it. Next to me are three spinners. One spinner for selecting the match, one for the sport, and one for the disaster. The contestant that has the least number of matches won or no wins at all is automatically eliminated from the competition."

"What if there is a tie for last place?" Pharaoh asked.

"Then there will a tiebreaker to decide who leaves," Casey answered chipperly.

"What does the winner of the challenge get?" Niu wondered. "Another contestant they can eliminate?"

"Nope, today only one contestant is leaving the film lot. You better hope is not you because there will be a long rest between this challenge and the next. Which will be great," Casey advised.

"Then what does the person who performs the best win?" Edgar decided to ask. "There's no prize for first here?"

"Bragging rights?" Casey answered with a bright smile, hoping the final six would accept the offer. None of the players liked the idea. "Alright, uh, the winner of today's challenge gets to spend the rest of the day in Chris' hot tub. Treated like a guest as interns serve you."

The final six smiled from this offer even though half of them were still nervous.

"But Casey, most of the interns left since the show is almost over," Meredith informed. "Who's going to be the one serving… oh, it is me, isn't it?"

"Don't worry about it," Casey assured. "Now let's see what our first match will be. Meredith, if you please."

Meredith spun the first wheel twice. The pointer landed on Knick and Melissa.

"Well, at least I get an easy win," Knick stated as he observed his opponent still stumbling.

Meredith then spun the next two wheels.

"Knick and Melissa will face off in baseball as a flood course through their legs," Casey announced. She pulled out a remote controller to turn the center of the soccer field into a small baseball field. She pressed a different button for water to rise up at least two in a half feet.

Meredith tossed a wooden baseball to Melissa while throwing Knick a baseball glove with a baseball inside.

"Knick, your goal is to strike out Melissa. Three strikes in case you don't know," Casey teased at the end.

"I know how sports work. My family tree is practically all sporty people," Knick stated as he put the glove on his left hand.

"Melissa, your goal is to get three hits to win the match," Casey said.

Melissa stared at the bat in her hands. She felt she was about to burst into tears from the memories of the past.

"I can't do this," Melissa declared. "I can't go back. Never again."

"You realize that if you forfeit the challenge, you eliminate yourself from the game, right?" Casey said.

Niu and Pharaoh went to help Melissa.

"Melissa, I know is scary for you to play sports, but you got to be strong and conquer your fear," Pharaoh encouraged.

"You're a brand new version of yourself. What happened in the past stays in the past," Niu added.

"What if I slip into it again? I've been dodging sports for months," Melissa replied. She hesitantly made her way to home plate on the field.

Knick went to the pitching mound. He looked at the water just above his knees perplexed.

"How is this supposed to affect our performance?" The journalist asked his ex.

Casey shrugged. "I don't know, probably your legs. The flood disaster was planned for other types of sports before Chris and I randomized it."

"Alright, shouldn't lessen my win then," Knick told himself.

Melissa made her stance at home plate and had her bat a little bit over her left shoulder. When Knick threw the ball at her she did not swing. Meredith threw a ball to Knick so he can use it. Melissa did not swing at the second pitch.

"That's strike two," Meredith informed.

"Come on Melissa. You were telling me earlier today you weren't going to mope. Are you really going to let Knick, the guy who eliminated Jett get away with a win you know you deserve?" Niu exclaimed.

"Stop talking I need to concentrate," Knick said to the goal digger.

"Melissa, the road to athletic greatness is not marked by perfection, but the ability to overcome adversity and failure. Use your competitiveness to your advantage in a way you know that will push you to success without trash talking," Pharaoh advised.

Melissa gripped her bat tightly.

"Is okay to be who you are as long you don't lose your way," Niu added.

"Alright you two that's enough encouragement," Casey insisted for the two to stop. "Go ahead and pitch Knick."

As Knick prepared himself to throw his potential last pitch, Melissa steadied herself confidently. He threw the pitch as a fastball.

CLACK!

Melissa swung and hit the ball. She used so much force that the ball flew to the roof of the soundstage, leaving a hole as it kept going.

"I… I swung," Melissa exclaimed happily.

Niu and Pharaoh cheered and clapped for Melissa. Edgar kept quiet observing everything while Georgia continued to be a mess.

"Give me a ball," Knick said to Meredith with demand as he glared at Melissa.

Meredith tossed a ball to Knick who threw a curveball to Melissa. This would have been able to strike her out if Knick was actually good at pitching.

CLACK!

Once again, Melissa knocked the ball out of the soundstage. This created another hole.

"That's coming out of your paycheck by the way," Casey informed Meredith.

The historian sighed as she tossed another ball to Knick.

"This next ball I'm going to hit is for Jett," Melissa warned the journalist.

"Don't make promises you can't keep," Knick stated seriously.

Knick threw a knuckleball at Melissa. His opponent swung her bat and the ball headed directly to his coconuts.

Pharaoh, Edgar, Meredith, and Niu winced at the sight.

"That's going to leave a mark," Casey smiled. "Hopefully he can still have kids in the future."

"Mommy," Knick cried quietly in pain as he fell into the water.

Melissa went to lift him up and take him out of the baseball field. Is the least she could do after what happened.

"So, did you specifically want the ball to go there?" Edgar asked the tan girl.

"No, he threw a low knuckleball. His aim is not that great," Melissa answered.

Casey came with an icepack to drop it on Knick's nuts. Knick shivered from the cold sensation.

"Alright, next match," The hostess said.

Confessional – Melissa

"Those swings. Hearing the ball and bat crack at the same time. It… was invigorating. I've been missing out on this for so long. I feel so alive."

She gave a crazed chuckle at the end.

End Confessional

Niu and Edgar stood from each other on the opposite side of a small basketball court. A small volcano was placed in the center.

"Edgar and Niu will be facing off in a deadly basketball game with a live active volcano in the middle to disrupt their game. The goal is to shoot a basketball into a hoop three times to win the match," Casey gave instructions.

"Uh, the volcano doesn't have real lava, does it?" Niu was concerned and terrified.

"Not to worry, this is post-Pahkitew. The lava is tomato sauce with coloring to make it look like the real deal," Casey answered.

"That's a relief, but what about the basketball?" Edgar wondered.

The emo's question was answered when the volcano blew 'lava' into the air as well as a basketball. The basketball landed on Niu's side which was caught by her hands.

Suddenly, Niu felt a burning sensation from the basketball.

"Hot, hot, hot," Niu repeated, her hands feeling crispy. Some sauce fell on her hair which made her freak out and throws the basketball away.

The contestants and Meredith watching looked at Casey.

"What? I had to make the lava as realistic as possible," Casey defended herself.

Edgar caught the basketball in the air by jumping. Once on the ground, he decided to throw a lucky shot at the hoop which landed.

"One point for Edgar," Casey informed.

The volcano erupted again. The basketball landed on Edgar's side, so he grabbed it and started running to the other side of the court to score a basketball. Meredith blew her whistle, making him stop.

"You got to dribble the ball Edgar," Meredith said. "Give the ball to Niu now."

Edgar complied but was slightly annoyed. Niu took the opportunity to score a point for herself.

Confessional – Edgar

"How am I supposed to know the rules of basketball? I didn't have gym classes during middle school and currently high school."

End Confessional

The volcano erupted again. The basketball went to Niu's side. Niu grabbed the ball and dribbled her way to shoot the basketball. Edgar ran after her and accidentally slipped on tomato sauce. Niu took the opportunity of her fallen opponent and scored her second point.

"Kind of hard to root for either of them," Melissa told the watchers. "Since I get along with them well."

"Really? I expected Edgar to be against you since he dislikes Jett," Knick believed, still laying down on the floor.

"Is he against me?" Melissa asked Pharaoh.

"Knick is trying to play tricks on you. I doubt he would be after you since you never planned on breaking him up with Janet," Pharaoh answered.

"You're running out of sleeves then," Melissa taunted the journalist.

"Funny," Knick replied sarcastically.

Meredith blew her whistle. "Niu beats Edgar three to two in basketball," the intern announced.

Everybody on the soundstage watched Niu and Edgar head back to them with tomato sauce on their clothes and hair.

"I don't mind the burning considering my loss," Edgar said.

"Alright, the next match will be between Pharaoh and Georgia," Casey informed. "Meredith, what will be their sport and disaster?"

Meredith spun the two wheels. "Boxing in a tornado."

Confessional – Pharaoh

"Man, I know Georgia almost killed Lucy, but can I bring myself to box against my ex? Especially in the state she is currently in?"

End Confessional

A small tornado created by a large fan emerged from the soccer field. Georgia and Pharaoh had red boxing gloves on.

"Just think of them as your gloves," Georgia said to calm herself.

"Alright, this is either a ring out or knock out. Both of you will enter the tornado. Whoever is taken out of the tornado or passes out from a beating loses the match," Casey informed.

"You're seriously going to let them fight each other?" Niu asked with disbelief.

"Come on, everybody has been wanting to see this moment," Casey grinned.

Georgia and Pharaoh hopped into the tornado. They spun around and around. It was not that fast which allowed the exes to talk.

"There was a moment of time when I wanted to punch you, but I don't think I can bring myself to do it," Pharaoh confessed.

"After all I have done to you, you still helped me eat breakfast today," Georgia frowned. "I… will let you have this win."

"Wait? Really?" Pharaoh was astonished.

Georgia sighed. "Pharaoh, I'm… sorry for what I have done. I know saying that word is not going to help considering my actions, but I do now regret hurting those I impacted."

"Is this really you talking or is it because you don't have your actual gloves on you," Pharaoh questioned.

Georgia stayed quiet.

"I see," Pharaoh understood.

Pharaoh punched Georgia in her left eye softly. However, due to the tornado's wind, his punch came in faster and stronger. This took the actress out of the tornado and landed her on the artificial grass.

"Pharaoh wins his first match," Casey declared.

The contestants, host, and intern watched Georgia get up. They all gasped at what they saw.

"What's wrong?" Georgia stood up by using her legs. "My hands are protected."

Casey took away her boxing gloves as Melissa took out Pharaoh's gloves. Meredith approached Georgia and took out a pocket mirror. Georgia got a black eye from the punch.

Everyone saw her cry.

"Okay, tone down the waterfalls Georgia. Meredith, spin the wheels," Casey commanded.

Meredith spun all the wheels. She spun the first one a second time since it landed on a picture of Edgar.

"Alright, our fourth match will be Edgar versus Knick in American football during a blizzard," Casey announced.

Knick looked pissed. Not because he had to face Edgar, but because of this challenge.

Confessional – Knick

"If I was able to make it past the snowboarding challenge during Radiant Redemption, surely I can at least win won match."

End Confessional

The soccer field turned into a football field. Meredith turned on the air conditioners in the facility to the maximum. A blizzard commenced in the air.

"This is highly illogical and has no sense whatever," Niu complained, having her arms crossed and shivering.

The other contestants minus Knick and Edgar were shivering as well. The two boys wore football uniforms. Casey and Meredith appeared in winter clothing.

"Illogical and no sense is practically my middle name," Casey joked. "Alright Knick and Edgar. The match is simple. One of you has to make it to the other side of the stadium with a football in your hand."

Meredith tossed a football to Knick.

"Knick, if you manage to cross that line with the football you win. However, if Edgar tackles you down, he gets the football, and you will have to tackle him. This will go on until someone scores a point," Casey finished explaining.

A quick scene change showed Knick running towards the line with Edgar on his way not far behind. A tackle was performed. The next scene gave Edgar what appeared to be a lead, but Knick tackles him to the ground. A montage demonstrated the two tackling each other.

"Alright, I've seen enough," Casey became bored. She grabbed Meredith's whistle and blew on it. "Attention Knick and Edgar. Take out your uniforms. Let's see how both of you handle the blizzard without protection."

Back in their attires, both boys felt the cold of the blizzard. However, thanks to his trench coat Knick wore normally again he had more warmth than Edgar. This gave the journalist a victory in the match since he could outrun his opponent.

"Knick makes a touchdown to get his first win," Casey announced.

Edgar kicked the artificial grass with frustration.

Confessional – Casey – Hostess

"For the record, I didn't let Knick win on purpose. I was getting bored of the two constantly tackling each other so I thought taking off the uniform would end things quicker. In hindsight, I probably should have made Knick take out off his trench coat. Oh well."

End Confessional

Off-screen, Meredith brought the temperature back to normal. The blizzard disappeared. The soccer field remained normal this time.

Georgia had her hands clenched in fear as her legs quaked. Behind her on the field was a soccer goal. In front of her Melissa bounced a soccer ball on her knee.

"Fifth match for today is Melissa vs Georgia in a soccer match. Melissa needs to hit three soccer balls out of ten into the goal. Georgia needs to make she does not let that happen. Both ladies will be doing this in a sandstorm," Casey informed.

"Say what now?" Melissa's eyes widened.

Meredith turned on a giant fan that produced sand. Her, Casey, and the players watching wore goggles and scarfs to protect their faces.

"Where do you even get this stuff?" Niu wondered.

"Duly noted, and ignored," Casey responded.

"The sand is getting on my hands!" Georgia exclaimed terrified. She grunted in frustration and anger. She could not control herself.

Even though sand was in Melissa's eyes, the athletic nerd did not give up on winning the match. She kicked her first soccer ball which hit directly in Georgia's forehead.

"Ow," Georgia whined. She whimpered. A bruise formed on her forehead.

Melissa decided to kick her next soccer ball with a slight curve. This time the soccer ball hit Georgia's left cheek. Some teeth came out of her mouth.

"Stop hurting me," Georgia begged as she began to cry again.

"I'm trying not to. The wind from the sandstorm is sending the balls at you," Melissa said.

Melissa spoke the truth because the third ball soccer she kicked was intended to go to the right side, yet the sandstorm curved it to the left, bouncing off Georgia's chest.

Georgia clenched her chest with her arms in pain. She got on her knees.

"Make it stop, make it stop," The actress repeated quietly.

Melissa ignored her begging and remained focused on winning the match. The fourth soccer ball managed to get into the goal. The fifth one, however, hit Georgia's nose.

Confessional – Melissa

"Come on, seriously? This isn't even me getting competitive. It is the stupid fan Casey put harming Georgia like that."

She calmed herself.

"But I guess she deserves it."

End Confessional

Melissa kicked her sixth soccer ball that landed under Georgia's good eye. The actress got a big bruise there. The seventh soccer ball directly went to Georgia's mouth. The eighth was a goal.

Georgia caught the ninth one. She hugged it to see if she could feel better. This distracted her from the last soccer ball entering the goal.

Meredith turned off the giant fan.

"Melissa won her second match," Casey declared. "Next up will be Pharaoh versus Niu."

Melissa walked up to Georgia. "Hey, uh, are you okay?"

"Does it look like I'm okay!?" Georgia snapped. "Leave me alone."

Melissa backed away. Georgia dropped the soccer ball and stared at her sandy hands.

Some time later, the field became a hockey ring. Pharaoh and Niu were wearing hockey uniforms and holding a hockey stick in a hand.

"Simple match you two. Just hit the hockey puck into your opponent's goal and win," Casey said. "While being in a tsunami."

"Casey, I'm questioning the methods of you making these natural disasters," Pharaoh admitted. "How are you even going to simulate a tsunami here?"

"By dropping a giant bucket of water from the ceiling," Casey answered with a goofy smile.

Niu and Pharaoh looked up to see a giant bucket above hanging by ropes. Their pupils shrunk. Casey pulled on the ropes to unleash the water.

Niu and Pharaoh hugged and screamed as the water descended on them. They separated to try to find the hockey puck. Pharaoh found it first in the water and threw it into the air. Niu saw this and swam to hit it with her hockey stick. She scored the goal.

"Niu wins her second match," Casey proclaimed.

"Do you always have to say who wins after a match?" Knick wondered.

"Yes, now shut up," Casey replied smirkingly.

The waves of the water stopped. Niu and Pharaoh coughed up water.

"Alright, as those two catch their breath is time to figure out who is competing against who for the final matches," Casey stated.

"Wait, is not going to randomize this time?" Edgar questioned.

"Nope, considering the results of Melissa and Niu, those two are guaranteed not eliminated. So instead, they will be competing for the reward. Georgia and Edgar will duke it out for a sudden death elimination since neither won a match yet. While Knick and Pharaoh will compete for fun," Casey answered joyfully.

"Do I honestly need to compete with Pharaoh considering neither of us is up for elimination?" Knick complained.

"Yes, because as the hostess you have to do what I say," Casey giggled. "Unless you want to entertain me in some other way."

"I'll do the match," Knick grumbled.

"Good, then we'll do yours first since it doesn't matter," Casey clapped repeatedly with happiness. "Your words not mine."

Knick grumbled again.

Confessional – Edgar

"Yes! Considering in the state Georgia is in I'm definitely going to be in the final five. Everything is going great for me. Jett is gone, Georgia will be soon, and then everyone can just team up on Knick. I can look at that final four already. I'm going to rock my next match."

End Confessional

Knick and Pharaoh sat at a table with seats playing chess quietly. They moved pieces around and captured some. Meredith and the contestants watched with great interest. Casey yawned out of boredom and press a button on her remote.

The soccer field did an aftershock. Pharaoh made sure his chess pieces stood in place while Knick hold himself to the bench. This allowed for the latter's chess pieces to fall.

"And Pharaoh wins his match," Casey announced.

"You literally did all this to troll me," Knick got up from his seat with annoyance. "This match was completely unnecessary."

"No, it wasn't. I got the satisfaction of making you mad," Casey laughed.

Confessional – Knick

"Going to be honest, I would consider dating Casey again if I didn't love Yves. Girl drives me crazy, but it is the kind of crazy I like. Doesn't matter anymore though."

End Confessional

Melissa and Niu stood in a bowling alley, gazing at the two aisles with each one having ten bowling pins in correct order. Both girls also had a bowling ball in their hands. Grey clouds formed in the sky. The clouds produced rain. Lighting occasionally hit the ground, producing thunder.

"I think is best not to think about how Casey is able to make all this stuff happen," Niu told her opponent.

Melissa nodded in agreement.

"Melissa and Niu, for your final match, simply knock down the most pins to see who wins today's reward. If a tie happens, you two will continue to bowl until one knocks down the most pins," Casey instructed.

Meredith blew her whistle to let the two players know that they can start. Melissa bowled in her lane and got a strike. Niu bowled and as soon as the ball got close to the pin a flash of lightning zapped. The bowling ball turned into dust.

"Well, that was anticlimactic," Casey confessed disappointingly. "Either way, Melissa wins today's challenge. Congratulations!"

"That… didn't feel like a win," Melissa admitted.

"Is okay," Niu assured as she put a hand on the athletic nerd's shoulder. "After what you had to go through today you deserve it."

Melissa smiled.

"Now the moment everyone has been waiting for. Edgar versus Georgia to see who will reach the final five," Casey proclaimed. "Their match? Volleyball with a net of fire to present wildfires."

"I feel like this episode is going to be banned in some countries," Pharaoh said, getting chuckles from Melissa, Edgar, and Niu.

As Casey fixed up the arena using her remote, Edgar approached Pharaoh.

"Hey man, want to give my thanks," Edgar smiled.

"On what?" Pharaoh asked curiously.

"You telling me that time about Georgia not being able to think straight when not wearing her gloves. I took them and dumped it in a trash can," Edgar answered happily.

"You did what?" Pharaoh was shocked to hear that.

"Calm down, everything is going fine. Once I beat her in my match, we'll just need to get rid of Knick," Edgar assured.

"Dude, you realize Georgia has issues over that, right? She's basically a lost puppy without those gloves," Pharaoh wanted to make sure the emo knew what he did.

"Are you defending her?" Edgar accused, narrowing his eyes.

"No," Pharaoh answered. "But…"

"But what? She deserves it. You know what she has done to us throughout the game. I'm going to make sure when I serve the volleyball it knocks out some more teeth of hers," Edgar interrupted. "Hopefully she gets caught in some flames as well."

Casey finished making the volleyball field. The volleyball net had a fire on it.

Edgar started to walk to the field until Pharaoh grabbed him by the arm.

"This is what I'm afraid of. You took away those gloves and wanting to beat her down like this makes you no better than her," Pharaoh said.

"Excuse me? I am nothing like her. She deserves every ounce of karma," Edgar sneered.

"I know she deserves it but this… this just doesn't feel right," Pharaoh believed.

Edgar removed Pharaoh's arm from him. He turned around with a glare.

"She almost killed your girlfriend! She manipulated me twice!" Edgar exclaimed, causing everyone to look at him. "She deserved me taking those stupid gloves away. She needed to taste her own medicine."

Georgia heard the confession Edgar gave. She growled and gritted her teeth.

"Alright, Edgar and Georgia get on the field is time for the final match of today's challenge!" Casey told.

The two players headed onto the field. Edgar stood on the left side from the audience's view while Georgia is on the right.

"Contestant who scores three points first wins the match," Meredith informed. "Edgar, you serve first." She tossed the volleyball to the emo.

"This is going to be easy," Edgar said confidently with a snicker. "I watched the volleyball challenge of Carnival Calamity, so I know how this sport works."

Edgar tossed the ball in the air and used his palm to smack the volleyball to the other side. Georgia leaped graciously and smacked the volleyball back. Edgar had no time hit the ball back as it directly hurt his head.

"One point for Georgia," Casey let everyone know.

"Ugh, what the heck?" Edgar wondered quietly to himself. "She's supposed to be weak and miserable."

"I starred in various volleyball movies. Sure, I was a background character like I always am, but the point is I will make you cry to mom and dad once I'm through with you," Georgia declared.

"Tch, at least my parents love me," Edgar retorted.

Georgia growled with distaste. Meredith tossed a volleyball to the actress.

"This is going to be good," Casey said jittery.

Georgia served her ball and hit it to the other side. Edgar used his hands to bring the ball back. Georgia jumped and made Edgar think she was going to hit the ball to the right when in actuality she hit it to the left.

"Two points for Georgia," Casey kept score after the volleyball touched Edgar's side of the field.

Edgar scowled at the actress. "I won't lose!"

Meredith tossed the ball to Edgar. Instead of catching it, the emo immediately leaped to send it to the other side and scored his first point. This did not affect Georgia in the slightest.

"I'm winning this match for all the people you used and harmed," Edgar declared. "Your time in this game is no more."

Georgia grabbed the volleyball Meredith passed to her. She served and hit the ball to the other side.

Edgar took a quick glance at the flaming net to get an idea. He swerved the ball in a way for it to roll up on the net to catch on fire. As the ball descended, he jumped and hit the part where the fire has not reached the ball yet.

Georgia had to make a choice. Either let the ball hit the ground and give Edgar another point. Or try to swerve the ball back. She hesitated for a moment before putting her hands together to hit the ball with her wrists. She bounced it back but at the cause of her hands getting flames on them.

Georgia held in screams of burning pain as she tried to figure out how to get rid of the flames on her hands.

Edgar was about to hit the ball back until noticing what he caused. The regret and guilt caused him to not even try in hitting the ball back.

"Georgia wins her match. She makes it to the final five!" Casey announced.

Georgia put her hands in her mouth to use her saliva as a way to extinguish the flames. Taking them out, she witnessed the burned marks she has on her hands. She looked at everyone with anguish. She went to the exit of the soundstage and left.

"Should we follow her?" Melissa asked Pharaoh.

"No, let her be alone for now," Pharaoh answered.

"Make sure she's okay," Casey whispered to Meredith.

The historian gave a thumbs up and then proceeded to find the actress. Pharaoh, Melissa, and Niu went to check on Edgar.

"Looks like you didn't have the guts to finish her off," Knick stated as he passed by the four. "You were never meant to make this far."

This made Edgar's eyes twitch. He grabbed the volleyball no longer in flames and threw it at the back of Knick's head.

Knick stopped walking. He did not turn around.

"**** you!" Edgar cursed at the journalist. "I hope when Yves sees what you have done this season, she breaks up with you. You're just as bad as Georgia."

"Oh please, I don't go around accidentally trying to murder people," Knick stated.

"Knick stop," Melissa insisted.

"Don't talk to me like you're such a saint. I saw you hit Georgia with all those soccer balls," Knick was not amused.

"The wind of the sandstorm changed the trajectory," Melissa defended.

"And the time you swung the bat to hit me in my nether regions?" Knick questioned.

"You threw awful," Melissa answered.

"Oh, and you never thought of not hitting it? You probably knew it was going to hit there but you wanted to make your dear Jett proud," Knick shrugged uncaringly.

"Knick, I suggest you leave," Niu warned.

"Thanks for letting winning fifty thousand grand by the way. I'm sure you're not regretting it in your mind right now," Knick chuckled. He left the soundstage.

"You're going to be okay Edgar?" Pharaoh asked.

"Yeah, I'll be alright. Is better for me to be eliminated now anyway. I might have become worse if I stay. At least now I get to be with my friends and fix my friendships with Lilith and Janet," Edgar smiled. "Make sure you three beat Georgia and Knick."

"Oh, we will," Melissa confidently said.

"We'll get them on the ropes," Pharaoh guaranteed.

Niu, Melissa, and Pharaoh hugged Edgar as a goodbye.

"Alright, is time to take the lame-o-sine. Follow me," Casey instructed.

Edgar gave a thumbs up to his friends before leaving with the hostess.

"Final three alliance?" Niu offered, putting her hand out there.

Melissa and Pharaoh smiled at each other. They put their hand on top of Niu's hand.

"Final Three Alliance!" All three confirmed working together.

Confessional – Georgia

She sat pondering to herself. Her gloves were gone. Sure, she could probably replace them, but those specific gloves were special to her. Not to mention the beating she took throughout the whole challenge.

"This, this is how it feels doesn't it?"

Confessional – Knick

"Only four players left to deal with in the game. I'll get the prize money and go back to that island to find Yves. It sucks that I've had to act this way again, but I have to remain tough under the circumstances. Is my fault the Crowstillo Alliance broke up, but I will be at the top again."

End Confessionals

"Ooh, the power shifting. You love to see it," Casey smirked. She stood outside the film lot as the limo driver took Edgar away in the background. "Five contestants remain. Who will be the next one eliminated? Find out next time on Total… Drama… Lights, Camera, Finale!"

Author's Note: Not much to say. Glad I was able to give Edgar that needed spotlight after he was first boot in Carnival Calamity. Anyway, final five. The next chapter will be a playa de losers' type of episode. Meaning the final five will be resting while we get an inside look at what the eliminated contestants have been doing at the playa.
