Merge

Boys – Pharaoh and Knick

Girls – Niu, Georgia, and Melissa


Chris walked around the trailers where the contestants stayed in the film lot.

"Greetings Total Drama fans," Chris smiled at a camera. He stopped to continue speaking. "In this season, you have seen twenty-four contestants duke it out for the last ultimate prize of the series. Now, only five players remain. Since they made it this far in what could be considered the most stacked competition Total Drama has ever done, we decided to give them a break."

In the background, the final five got out of a trailer and screamed while running away. A bear followed them from inside the trailer.

"If they could actually get one," He chuckled at the end. "As the final five try to get rest, we will be checking out on what the eliminated contestants have been doing throughout their stay in the Playa de Losers."

Chris walked along the docks of a tropical island. Behind him was a high-class resort with some palm trees and beach umbrellas around it. He stopped to look at another camera.

"After all the drama that happened in the merge, is nice to kick back and see what the others have been doing. Tune in now for a special 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.


Chris entered the resort. The entrance hall magnified the beauty within.

"Finally, about time you got here," Henry exclaimed to the host as Lilith pushed him on the dolly he is strapped to with rope.

"Henry and Lilith, hello there," Chris greeted as the first two boots approached him. "You two have stuck around the most, how's it been?"

"Awful," Henry answered annoyed. "You took me out of prison just so I can be tortured by everyone else having fun while I'm stuck in a stupid dolly."

"And guess who has to put up with him?" Lilith rhetorically asked smiling while also annoyed. "Since all of your interns didn't want to deal with this scrawny-looking psycho, I've been the one responsible for him. Do you know how disgusting it is that I have to take him to the bathroom and make sure he doesn't come with anything out that can be used as a weapon?"

"Glad to see you are doing well Lilith," Chris replied, ignoring what the drummer said. "Did you find out what really happened to you and Edgar?"

"Uh, yeah, all of us here are obligated to watch the recent episodes," Lilith responded cynically. "I should have known something was up when 'Edgar' looked at me with that devious smile, but I didn't know enough about the dude to connect the dots."

"And how does it make you feel that Georgia used your potential friendship with Edgar to eliminate you?" Chris asked sweetly.

"Geez, I don't know, how will that make me feel?" Lilith wondered sarcastically. "Who do you think you are a therapist? It stinks. Just as much as the smell you carry."

Lilith turned the dolly around as Chris felt insulted.

"Hey, wait, I told you to take me to the vending machine here to get those chocolate tarts," Henry said as he struggled to break himself free.

"There is plenty of food for us. Those vending machines are for the interns anyway," Lilith said as she strolled the dolly.

"But our food options don't have that chocolately tart goodness," Henry whined.

"Suck it up. Chocolate tarts aren't even good anyway," Lilith gave her opinion.

Henry gasped.

"How dare you? Chocolate tarts are one of the best foods to exist in the history of mankind," Henry declared.

"Stop acting like a baby," Lilith grew tired.

"Like a baby? This is how a baby acts," Henry smirked. He began to cry and screech.

"Ugh," Lilith rolled her eyes as she continued rolling the dolly.

"What best friends those two are," Chris said happily. "Let's go find Tamera and Axel. The fandom's number one ship at the moment."


Chris arrived at one of the large pools of the resort. In the center of the pool was a snack and drinking bar made out of wood, hay, and bamboo. Tamera in her bikini sat on one of the stools at the bar, drinking a piña colada.

"Hey there Tamera," Chris greeted as he walked to her, standing near the edge of the poolside. "How's been your time here in the playa been treating you?"

The vixen sipped more of her drink before replying.

"Eh, my house is better than this," Tamera shrugged.

Chris chuckled at that.

"Yeah, I'm sure your house is way better than this exclusive five-star resort," Chris doubted the third boot.

"No, really it is," Tamera said truthfully. "There are only three pools and my house has twice as many. The food is better at my home since I actually have professional chefs instead of just relying on interns. Seriously, about half the people here make their own food."

"Okay, we get it your rich," Chris got annoyed. His smile returned. "However, you have to admit that you cannot compare the drama in your household to here."

"Well, unless the rest of my family is involved," Tamera smirked.

"Just because you're eliminated doesn't mean you have to put me down like this," Chris informed hurt.

"Oh please Chris, you're going to become old news once this franchise is over. Casey and I are already planning our own new hit reality show," Tamera kept on.

"Tch, you think I care about some noobs getting into reality TV? I already landed my mark and will retire handsomely in cash," Chris countered.

Simon swam up from the pool wearing his swimsuit.

"Not unless Niu has anything to say about it. I heard rumors about her being my friend's lawyer for court after the season is over," Simon conversated.

"Simon, you are supposed to wait until I talk with the clown," Chris informed.

"She's not here dude. She left to get herself a lawyer and make plans to sue. Which is why there are rumors going around that Niu is the lawyer," Simon stated, ignoring what the host just told.

"Whatever," Chris shrugged. "Even if it is Niu, she is in the final five. As a Total Drama player, no way she will sue the show after getting herself a boyfriend here."

Simon and Tamera laughed at this.

Chris narrowed his eyes at the two then looked at the prankster.

"Alright fine, since you're such a rule breaker, how does it feel to be eliminated by Georgia and know that she was right on you not getting the girl you like?" Chris smiled smugly.

Simon dropped his happy demeanor.

"I'll admit it that at the end of the day she wasn't into me and told me the truth. It hurt at the beginning, but I'm sure I'll find someone who will like me. Also, I'm honestly okay losing to Georgia like that. I really only came onto the show because the fans voted for me. It was nice to meet Buck and Niu again, but we barely interacted since being in different teams," Simon confessed.

"Boring," Tamera yawned. "I thought you would be madder that she framed you."

"At least she didn't manipulate me into sabotaging her own team," Simon retorted.

"Eh, got to respect a girl who plays the game to her advantage. Does it suck to be outplayed by a c-list actress? Yes. Does that mean people want to see me more since I lost early? Also yes. So, theoretically speaking I won, and she lost," Tamera looked at the brighter side.

"Speaking of winning," Chris chimed. "Axel got eliminated right after you. The fans want to know if…"

Tamera began sipping her empty piña colada. She stopped.

"The fans want to…"

Tamera slurped again.

"The fans…"

Tamera did it a third time. Chris grabbed her glass and threw it away. Shattered glass was heard.

"The fans want to know if you and Axel got together while being here," Chris wondered.

Panicking, Tamera swam into the pool and stayed there.

"Fine, I'll talk to Axel wherever I find him," Chris said annoyed. "You teens aren't giving me the good stuff."


Chris walked into a hallway of the resort where the contestants sleep in their bedrooms. One of the doors to a room had a beanie on the doorknob and a yellow scarf tied to it. He heard some particular sounds coming from inside the bedroom. He knocked on the door various times.

"Kristie, stop making out with whoever is in there. I need to interview you now since I haven't been able to find Axel," Chris called.

The host took a few steps back as Kristie twisted the knob to unlock the door. The Total drama fan opened it just slightly. She did not have her glasses on.

"Hi Chris," Kristie greeted. "This really isn't the best time to interview me."

"I'm on a schedule here," Chris replied as he raised his arm and pointed at the watch on his wrist. "Wait, are you naked?"

Kristie's cheeks flushed.

"I thought the interns told everyone to be ready for today since I was coming," Chris believed.

"I know, but uh, things just sort of happened," Kristie sheepishly said. "Just ask me all the questions you need so this doesn't get any more awkward than it needs to be."

"Who's your buddy you were getting fizzy with?" Chris asked.

"Chris, please," Kristie insisted on just the questions.

"Hey, you told to me to ask everything I need," Chris pointed out. "Besides, interviewing two at a time makes things go by faster."

"Oh, um, sure," Kristie understood. She signaled someone to get close to her.

"Hey there Chris, how's it going?" Raymundo greeted and asked casually.

"Should have expected the pre-mergers would end up together," Chris told himself. "Anyway, I need to know from you two how does it feel that Georgia cost… wait Raymundo are those Maverick's glasses?"

"Uh…" Raymundo hesitated to answer.

"Oh my gosh," Chris' eyes widen as he realized what is going on. "I'm just going to go now," The host said and walked away.


The host arrived at the second outdoor pool the resort had. Daniela, Buford, and Sua were chilling at the pool in their respective swimwear.

"Hey there trio. Each of you was kind of in the middle of the pack when it comes to eliminations," Chris greeted. "Buford, how has been the stay?"

"Is alright. I would have loved to stay in the game to be with Meredith and play the game. Especially since the last episode had sports in it," Buford answered.

"Speaking of Meredith, how does it feel that you mistook your girlfriend for Georgia in disguise? Which became a stumbling mess all the way to your elimination?" Chris wondered.

"I'm just hoping Meredith doesn't break up with me whenever she finds out. With the status and fame I have, I can potentially make my way up to at least a million, so I'm not too upset about the loss. Especially since Jett actually pulled a good one on me," Buford kept it real.

"Your teammates were stupid voting you off instead of Georgia," Daniela dropped into the conversation. "Don't know why they cared about their feelings getting hurt. You know how many people talk smack to each other behind their back?"

"Considering Melissa and Jett planned your elimination I will consider that a yes," Sua mused. "And before you ask Chris, I have no qualms with Georgia eliminating me. After what she went through the last episode, I don't have that urge to do… wonderful things to her body."

Daniela and Buford scooched a bit away from her.

"There you are," Lucy said to Chris.

Buck pushed the wheelchair Lucy sat on. Edgar and Janet were walking beside the MacGyver.

"Ah, thanks for coming to me Lucy. It makes these interviews much easier," Chris showed gratitude.

"I came to you so I can get it over with and take my medical nap," Lucy stated. "Thanks for moving me around Buck."

"Happy to help partner," Buck smiled widely.

"Alright Lucy, the fans want to know how your recuperation process is going?" Chris asked.

"Considering that I'm able to stay here now instead of being in the hospital I'll say the process is running nice and smoothly," Lucy responded happily. "Oh, and I am definitely charging Georgia for what she did to me. Pretty sure I won't even need Niu to win my case."

"What about Jett?" Janet asked the detective.

"Hmm, I'll think about it. He seems remorseful for it at the moment," Lucy stated.

"What happens if Georgia wins the prize money?" Chris smirked. "She most likely will be able to bail herself out from the charge."

"Oh please, as if she will even make it to the finale," Lucy doubted that possibility. "Everyone that remains in the game is against her. Rooting for Pharaoh by the way."

"I see," Chris said. "So, Janet and Edgar. Have you two made up?"

"Yep," Janet nodded. "After rewatching all the episodes we came to a conclusion that we should stick as friends for now."

"Yeah, we both separately need to work on our own stuff before considering dating again," Edgar added.

"Well, that's a disappointment to my ears. I was hoping I can get you two to rage over Georgia, Jett, and Knick ruining your relationship," Chris admitted.

"We're taking it as a sign of the cosmos that we're not meant to be together. At least not now," Janet replied.

"What about Lilith, Edgar? Have you patched up with her?" Chris pondered.

"Yep," Lilith arrived without Henry. She stood next to the emo. "After watching the episode, I was eliminated in it was obvious Edgar didn't do it. We've become great friends ever since."

"Almost vomited from what you just said," Chris admitted with disgust.

"Where did you leave Henry? Lucy asked Lilith.

"Oh, Jett decided to take care of him while I take a break," The drummer informed.

"Ah Jett, I'm definitely going to have fun interviewing him," Chris acknowledged contently. "Where is he now by the way?"

"Hey, what about my interview?" Buck wondered.

"What about it?" Chris narrowed his eyes at the southern boy. "I know what you're going to tell. Well geez golly gosh partner, I've been chilling out with my friends like the hooscow back in 1926. I ain't got no worry about a darn thing. Yee-huck!" The host added a terrible southern accent.

"Okay, that's totally not me," Buck said insulted.

"But it is accurate," Daniela exclaimed.

"Shush," Buck said to the stuntwoman.

"I don't know who I dislike more out of this couple. You not wanting to cause drama every time you're on screen or your girlfriend always trying to pickpocket every penny this show has," Chris said.

"Anything else you want to say about my girlfriend," Buck got serious.

"Oh, uh, no, I will just be going now," Chris laughed nervously.


At the men's room in the resort, Jett waited outside with the dolly nearby.

"You got five minutes left Henry," Jett exclaimed.

"Come on man, let a guy take care of his business in peace," Henry replied.

"You'll be in pieces if you don't hurry up," Jett added.

"Jett, buddy," Chris approached the runaway. "Great to see you. I'm going to need to ask just a few quick questions."

"Hey Henry," Jett called the orphan with a smirk. "Why don't you play with Chris for a while."

Chris and Jett heard a stall open from the bathroom. Henry came out running on all fours to attack Chris. The host immediately ran away as Henry gave chase.

"Somebody help!" Chris shouted with fear.

Jett laughed mischievously as he watched the host avoid Henry. Sara and Christopher arrived and stood by the blonde.

"I see you're back to enjoying yourself," Sara smiled at Jett.

"Eh, I'm figuring out the works little by little," Jett said smiling.

Christopher went to karate chop Henry's head to knock out the lunatic. Chris breathed in and out after he stopped running.

"Thank you," Chris gave the warrior gratitude.

"You're getting old Chris," Sara insulted for fun.

"I am not even in my forties," Chris whined. "You know what? Just tell everyone to meet me tonight at the largest pool in the resort. I have a special announcement to make."

Christopher, Sara, and Jett high-fived together. They were glad they did not need to do an interview.


Back at the pool with the bar in the center, Axel was at the entrance watching Simon leave. He hid behind a plant so that the prankster did not see him. With the coast clear, the gentleman watched Tamera drinking another piña colada by herself. He sighed and frowned.

"I know she's hot but staring at her like that makes you look like a creep," Embarc said, standing next to Axel. She wore a yellow one-piece swimsuit.

Axel jumped and landed on the plant in the pot. He broke the pot. Tamera heard this. She decided not to pay attention and focused on filing her nails.

"Embarc, what are you doing here?" Axel wondered whispering.

"My shipping senses were tingling," Embarc answered quietly.

"You're what?" Axel got confused.

"Axel, what is taking you and Tamera so long to get together? It is obvious both of you like each other," Embarc wondered.

"Yes, I do like her, and I've noticed she likes me back, but you got to understand the predicament I'm in. She wants to be a celebrity. She wants to host reality TV shows. I'm not the type of guy who enjoys doing that. She's better off without me," Axel frowned at the end.

"You can't give up just like that. So what if she wants to do what you do not like doing? Couples don't always like certain things. Buck and Niu are perfect examples. Do you expect Buck wanting to learn about the paperwork and headaches Niu has to go through when being a lawyer? Or Niu working on those machines Buck can finish in almost a day if given the chance? No. But, despite those differences both of them will be there for each other to offer advice if needed and support what they are doing. That is love right there," Embarc explained. "You don't need to be in the same spotlight Tamera wants. She'll understand you don't want that kind of attention if she truly likes you. And you two will work it out."

Axel bit his lip.

"Alright, I'll talk to her now," The gentleman said.

"Go get her tiger," Embarc believed and encouraged.

Axel walked into the pool and sat on a stool next to Tamera. He looked at the counter in front of him, feeling nervous about confessing.

"You could have gone into your swimsuit first before taking a swim," Tamera smiled as she gazed at her crush.

Axel looked at the vixen happily.

"I know how much you like seeing me wet," The gentleman joked.

The two shared a laugh. After that, Axel rubbed the back of his head while Tamera moved the straw around in her second piña colada.

"Can we not do the whole I like you sort of thing," Axel recommended. "Not because I don't like you because I really do. It is just, that this is making me feel weird."

"Same," Tamera agreed. "I've never done this before. Though, I do appreciate a gentleman such as yourself asking me about this. I like too as well in a lot of ways." She sipped a bit of her drink. "But why have you come to me now? You've been avoiding me practically since you got here."

"Because I was afraid that with you wanting to go big in the entertainment industry and me wanting to do my own thing that I'm not sure yet, things wouldn't work out between us. But after a conversation I had with someone I realize I should have faith that we'll be together no matter the circumstances," Axel admitted.

"Wow, that's the reason? I thought it was because you felt you don't deserve someone as great as me," Tamera joked. "But hey, I understand how you feel. I can already sense the media breathing down our necks. But as long as I'm with you we can make this work."

Tamera and Axel put their hand on the counter together.

"Is not going to be easy," Axel assured smiling.

"Since when has a couple ever been easy?" Tamera rhetorically entertained.

The two hugged each other, kissed, and dropped into the pool to make out some more.


The night came. Chris, Embarc, and the eliminated contestants were at the largest pool of the resort. Chris and Embarc stood near the poolside, being in the center. Some contestants were laying on beach chairs. Others were in the pool while some only had their feet in the water. In Henry's case, tied to the dolly. In Lucy's case, sitting in her wheelchair.

"Why are you here again?" Chris asked Embarc.

"Oh, business-related stuff," Embarc answered happily.

"So Chris, what do you want to see us all here," Christopher asked.

"For nostalgic purposes of course," Chris announced. "Besides that, every single eliminated contestant gets to vote off a member from the final five." He heard gasps of shock and excitement. "Whichever final five member receives the most votes will come here and stay with you all in the playa until the finale. We will be starting from the first boot to the most recent one."

"Wait just a moment," Buford was skeptical. "What happens if we say a name of a person, but we are not going to vote for that person? This can easily be a Leshawna situation her people."

"Bo is right. We need to be careful with what name we say if don't want Chris' loophole to succeed," Jett agreed.

Buford got caught off guard by his rival agreeing with him. After the shock, he gave a small smile out of respect.

"Who cares? I'm voting for Pharaoh because I don't like him," Henry said then cackled.

Lucy glared at Henry as a service bell sound effect was heard.

"One vote for Pharaoh," Chris announced. "Lilith, you're next."

"Obviously I'm voting for Georgia," Lilith gave her vote.

The service bell was heard. Which will continue every time a vote got cast.

"Who else would I vote for? She's the one who cost my time in the game," Lilith added.

"Yes, yes, that's quite reasonable Lilith," Tamera understood the goth's perspective while holding hands while being close to Axel. "However, my vote goes to Knick. As much it would be interesting to see him possibly make the finale again, I feel like the stakes will be higher if he is not there."

"My vote goes to Georgia. As much as I don't like that guy, he played the game the best he could without trying to play dirty. At least in the pre-merge," Axel voted and explained.

Silence came upon the resort.

"Uh, Chris, who's going to use her vote?" Simon asked.

"I vote for Pharaoh again," Henry cackled.

"There's your answer," Chris told Simon joyfully. "Pharaoh has two votes, Georgia has one, Knick has one, Melissa none as well as Niu."

Simon rolled his eyes at that vote being allowed.

"Even though she did cost me the game, I rather have her in the finale than allow Knick to become finalist three times in a row," Simon gave his vote to the journalist.

"Yeah, as someone who was in the Pre-merge Alliance, I rather not see Knick who has done extremely well reach there again," Raymundo decided his vote.

"Let's face it, the majority of fans are tired of seeing Knick making it far every time he competes," Kristie said

"My vote goes to Georgia. Her tactics got her this far, but it doesn't change the fact she disguised herself as my girlfriend just for fun," Buford spoke as he kicked his feet in the water.

"I'll vote for Knick," Daniela said, surprising everyone. "Look, as much as I am a big fan of him, the satisfaction of getting him eliminated is way too good to pass up."

"I'm only voting for Knick because I can understand a bit of the actress that I cannot apparently name at the moment," Sua informed.

"My vote goes to Georgia for sabotaging Sua and me. Plus, she's a total…" Maverick paused.

"Is okay Mav, I know you want to say that word badly," Kristie comforted the promoter.

"Despite my ex being a jerk, you bet I'm going to vote for Georgia," Lucy exclaimed. "As if I wouldn't vote that piece of…"

"Language," Chris interrupted.

"Screw you," Lucy responded.

"No thank you," Chris replied. "Anyway, Janet you're next."

"Even though she enjoyed splitting us up," The space geek said as she looked at Edgar. "I have to vote for Knick since it was part of his idea. Jett too. But he's already here."

"Got to vote for Georgia. At least the other dude tried to play the game fair this time around," Buck told.

"Same, even what he did was wrong, at least he did his best being cleaner," Sara agreed with the MacGyver. "So, I'm voting for Georgia."

"I dislike both of them, that much is obvious," Jett spoke his thoughts. "But if you ask me, I definitely want to be the reason Knick got eliminated. Dude kept making me feel like I am a weaker version than him."

"Technically you are," Daniela said honestly.

"Excuse me?" Jett felt insulted as he looked at the stuntwoman.

"Now, now, there are still two more votes left," Christopher told the runaway to not start anything. "My vote will go to Georgia. There, I am done."

"Well then Edgar," Chris looked at emo. "It seems Knick and Georgia are tied with eight votes. Looks like you will be deciding who gets to leave and who gets to stay in the final four. Who's it going to be Edgar? Your choice can also possibly affect the results of the finale. Who will vote for? Georgia, the girl who practically messed with your life throughout your stay in the game. Or Knick, the one who seems almost impossible to beat?"

Everyone watched Edgar ponder in his thoughts to decide who will he pick to come to the playa.

Knick showed up walking on the docks to the resort with his luggage. Chris stood in front to stop him.

"Kind of a bittersweet feeling don't you think? You're playing the game the best way you know possible and all of a sudden everything you worked for so hard is gone just like that," Chris mocked the journalist.

Knick gripped his luggage tighter.

"How does it feel Knick? To know that everything you have done came back to bite you. To haunt you. Your worst placement ever because you had to go back and make enemies again," Chris grinned evilly.

The eliminated cast members arrived at the shore.

"You couldn't get that number one. You couldn't get the prize. And you couldn't save Yves," Chris finalized.

Knick threw his suitcase with rage at McLean's head. The suitcase hit Chris' head.

"Ouch," Chris whined.

Knick went up to Chris and tackled him on the dock.

"Knick don't!" Lucy shouted.

Knick grabbed Chris' legs and threw him into the water.

"Is not worth it Knick!" Christopher exclaimed worryingly.

Chris swam up to show his face of terror. Knick went into the ocean to swim after Chris.

"Dude, I was just messing with you cool it," Chris said as he swam away to the shore.

Knick enraged managed to catch up to Chris. He put Chris' face back in the water and kept it there while the host struggled to free himself.

"Doing this to Chris is not going to bring Yves back," Sara yelled.

Knick took Chris out of the water and left him laying on the sand. He breathed in and out.

At that moment, a strong wind started to pick up on the shore. A red sphere appeared glowing and floating just above the sand. The eliminated contestants, Embarc, and Chris watched what was happening.

The red sphere expanded until it exploded into light. There, two figures stood.

One of them was a man seven feet tall. His skin is so pale, is as if he is part of the undead. This man's eyebrows are black while his eyes are yellow. His black wavy hair is covered by a stylish red hat. His outfit consists of a white bowtie, a black suit, and matching black pants. His shoes are also black. Lastly, the man wears a red cape.

The figure next to the man had silky black straight long hair reaching her bottom with a few side bangs that reach up to her chin. Her eyes were red, and her skin is Caucasian. She had thin lips and small ears. She stood at five feet and eight inches, sporting a rather skinny pear body. She wore an orange long-sleeved shirt with a white round collar, a navy-blue skirt reaching mid-thigh, black tights, and black flats. Her accessory was a pendant that looked like a bat.

Knick recognized the girl and slowly walked towards her. He noticed the bandages were not on her arms, exposing the slashed marks she made. The right side of her face had three horizontal scars under her eye. Knick ran faster.

The girl ran up to Knick to hug him. The two began to cry upon hugging.

"I'm sorry. For everything, I did to you. I was selfish. Not carrying about your feelings at that moment. It was not my intention to leave you on that island all this time," The girl apologized. "I understand if you want to break up with me after what I put you through."

"I'm just glad you're back," Knick responded with relief. "That's all it matters to me right now. We're finally together."

The two hugged tighter and kept on crying.

Chris coughed up water before standing up.

"Is nice to meet you," The tall seven-foot man said to Chris in a Spaniard accent. "I've heard a lot about this show." He extended his hand.

"Uh, glad to have another fan," Chris shook hands. "I'm going to end the episode now."

Chris walked away to look at the eliminated contestants who are frightened by the man's presence.

"I will now be heading elsewhere," The man said to Yves. He used a red orb in his left hand to teleport away.

This made everyone that was not Knick and Yves sigh with relief.

"That girl has a lot of explaining to do," Chris mentioned as he looked at Yves. Then he looked at the camera with a smile. "Well viewers, hope you enjoyed this special episode of Total Drama. We got an inside scoop of what the losers have been doing. Tamera and Axel have officially become a couple. Plus, Knick and Yves have been reunited. Feel like I'm missing a lot of contexts with that one. Until next time, tune in for the penultimate episode of Total Drama."

Author's Note: So, this chapter is short. But considering I do not do too well with episodes like these, it makes sense. Still, I did enjoy writing this chapter. Especially a bunch of scenes I came up with like Tamera sipping her empty drink in front of Chris, Henry attacking Chris, and Chris mocking Buck. Basically, any scene with Chris was great to write in this chapter.

Almost everything wrapped up nicely in a box. This is why I wanted to do this chapter in the first place. Tamera and Axel got together. Simon's crush was just that. Lilith and Edgar made amends. Edgar and Janet decided to stay as friends. Jett is slightly adjusting himself. Those small instances of Kristie and Maverick also came true. Lastly, Knick and Yves reunite with each other.

Now, I have always planned for Knick and Yves to reunite during the Playa de Losers episode. However, I did not exactly have Knick make it to the final five. In fact, this might be surprising, I intended Knick to be a pre-merger this time around. Right in the chapter where Daniela voted for him. Originally, Jett was not going to convince the Crowstillo Alliance to vote off Kristie. Instead, he was going to give up trying to play the game and just vote for Knick because he does not like the dude.

But drafts change. The merge just did not feel as good without that tension between the two alliances. This is why Knick also stayed after the romantic mix racing challenge because I also intended for him to leave there with Sua. Even in the wizard VR challenge, Niu was going to vote for Knick. That is when I realized I wanted an elimination to happen in this chapter because I felt I needed an elimination to be here. So, Knick had to stay up until this point. That way not everybody would vote out Georgia since she is the main antagonist. Is obvious at this point she is the main antagonist.

Also, I am going to be honest and say Knick is a fun character to write. I feel like if I had eliminated him sooner the merge would not be as dramatic as it could be without him. Since Casey is like the Owen of the Crowstilloverse, one could say Knick is the Duncan since he always makes it far.

Now only four contestants remain in the game. Georgia, Melissa, Niu, and Pharaoh. There is one chapter left before the finale. After that is the epilogue. Leave a review or PM your thoughts on this chapter.
