Total Drama Ecstasy
In this chapter...there's going to be a challenge...and we're going to see what Artemis's evil plan is!
That's what the title of this chapter is, after all.
Enjoy the show!
*insert evil laugh here*
Chapter 8: Artemis's Evil Plan
"Welcome back to Total Drama." spoke Dawn.
Scott began to snicker.
"What's so funny?" asked the moonchild.
"Nothing..." murmured the devious teen.
"Anyways...in the last part of the episode...Team Oscar decided that it was time to discuss strategy. Why do you ask? They were falling behind the other two teams, who still had all eight of their members." explained Dawn.
"I bet it's not going to do them much good." smirked Scott.
B rolled his eyes.
"They decided that they needed to stay focus...otherwise they were never going to be able to score a victory." said the moonchild.
"Back when I was part of the Toxic Rats, they could never score a victory!" bellowed the devious hick.
"Yes...and you were responsible for that." answered Dawn.
Scott began to snicker once again.
"Personally we were rather lucky to win that reward challenge..." noted the moonchild.
"Yes...we were." nodded the teenage boy.
"Why did you even try to sabotage that challenge?" questioned Dawn.
Scott shrugged. Maybe it was force of habit?
B sighed. Thanks to Scott, he wasn't even present during that challenge. He had got him voted off so that he couldn't bask in the glory of his team finally achieving victory.
Well, that and he thought that he was a threat.
Why did he have to be so effective on this show?
"Right...I think we should probably check on the campers now." spoke Dawn.
"You think that they injured themselves?" asked Scott sadistically.
"Scott!" bellowed the moonchild.
"What? It's a possibility!" exclaimed the teenage boy.
"Relax...we have much better medical care now that we're spending more money on this show rather than ourselves..." explained Dawn.
"Nobody's gotten injured yet..." noted B.
"Yes, they haven't." answered the moonchild.
"What? Awww!" complained Scott.
"Sorry...but we're actually regarding human safety this time." said Dawn.
Scott began to pout.
"We don't want anyone to get terribly injured." spoke the moonchild.
"Yeah..." nodded B.
"Considering that it's a miracle that this show hasn't been sued up until now...I think we might actually be saving money by providing safer challenges." noted Dawn.
"Yeah..." acknowledged the genius.
"This is a big whopping disappointment for me!" bellowed Scott.
Dawn sighed.
"Let's just check on the campers..." said the moonchild.
At the beach...
Though they had all found treasures inside the treasure chests, none of the campers had managed to find what they were looking for.
"Where is the golden parrot? I'm itching to get my hands on it!" exclaimed Jack.
"Well, I suppose Dawn might be nice enough to let us keep it after the challenge if we managed to find it." noted Rachel.
Immediately, Jack began to drool.
"Hello?" asked the teenage girl.
Jack came back to his senses.
"Er, what happened?" asked the thief.
"You went into a trance." explained Aqua.
"Oh." answered Jack.
"Again, we need to stay focused." explained Rachel.
"I don't want to lose again!" bellowed Dennis.
"Yeah...we all don't." nodded Quinta.
"I can't get voted off! I am perfect!" exclaimed Norman.
"What makes you say that you're perfect?" asked Aqua.
"Because of my handsome looks!" bellowed the teenage boy.
"Having looks aren't everything." answered the water lover.
Curious, they dug up another treasure chest to see what was inside.
Sure enough, there was an idol inside.
"Yes! Maybe we could use this to help win the challenge." spoke Rachel.
This time, it was the B Idol.
"Yes!" cheered Norman.
Confessional: This might be the turning point for Team Oscar.
Norman: I knew that we would find the idol! My team is perfect...even if they haven't been showing it so far.
Quinta: I wish that we were the first ones to get an idol...but at least we weren't the last.
Rachel: I wonder what advantage we'll get.
Aqua: I just hope that this is the end to our losing streak...it feels like we're in dire waters.
Immediately, they showed it to Dawn.
"Ah! You found the B Idol! Congratulations!" exclaimed the moonchild.
"I know...we were pretty lucky to find it, weren't we?" asked Rachel.
B nodded his head in agreement. Personally he thought it was nice that Dawn designed an idol after him.
She handed the six some special goggles.
"Now you can tell where the treasure chests are...for balancing purposes you won't be able to tell which one has the golden parrot though." said the hostess.
"Fair enough." answered Aqua.
Immediately, the six put on the x-ray goggles.
"These are awesome!" exclaimed Norman.
"I do admit they are rather nifty." nodded Jack.
He wondered if he could take one of these from Dawn while she wasn't looking. Then again, she seemed to be rather observant.
Sure enough, they could see where the treasure chests are...as Dawn had pointed out to them.
However, they couldn't see through their teammates' clothing...that way they wouldn't go blind.
This allowed them to obtain the golden parrot with ease. Immediately, Team Oscar began to celebrate.
Now they would have an advantage during the next part of the challenge. They needed every advantage that they could at this point.
Granted, they had to sacrifice the B Idol in order to obtain it...but personally they all thought that it was worth it.
Curious, Team Stardom noticed what was occurring.
"Wow! They must be really lucky!" exclaimed Kairi.
"But they've already lost two members of their team..." noted Wendy.
"That's true." acknowledged the ninja.
Personally she felt lucky whenever she got to watch a popular anime...which tended to be quite often.
"Something tells me we might not be able to win the next part of the challenge..." murmured Olivia.
"Aww!" complained Marvin.
Confessional: Hooray for the B Idol! And the golden parrot I suppose.
Jack: *he is holding the golden parrot* Precious...
Dennis: Too bad I can't eat the golden parrot...unless it's secretly chocolate wrapped in foil.
Aqua: I'm happier than when I competed in a swimming race!
Quinta: I actually don't feel envious at this very moment...why would I envy someone else when I have this valuable golden parrot?
Of course, the other teams didn't seem too happy about that.
"Darn it!" exclaimed Cynthia.
"I guess we screwed up..." noted Neila.
"Better luck next time..." murmured Louis.
"Yeah...better luck next time." nodded Forrest.
Lucca began to howl sadly.
Personally, she wondered if her team would have done a bit better if Bruce had shown up for the challenge.
But unfortunately, he had not.
"Congratulations!" exclaimed Dawn.
"Yes!" bellowed Norman.
"I knew you could do it...I'll take this B idol now, thank you." said the moonchild.
Immediately, Team Oscar handed the B Idol to Dawn.
"I'll hide this so that another team can use it in the future." explained the hostess.
"Alright." nodded Quinta.
"Darn it! I was hoping they wouldn't find that!" bellowed Scott.
Dawn rolled her eyes.
Once again, Scott was being...obnoxious.
"Why do you hate Team Oscar so much?" inquired the moonchild.
"For the same reason I hate everything." answered Scott.
Dawn let out a sigh. She just couldn't understand Scott too well.
Then again, neither could anyone else that competed on Total Drama Revenge Of The Island.
Confessional: What is the next part of the challenge going to be?
Scott: C'mon! Lose again, Team Oscar! Is that too much to ask?
Dawn: I was hoping that Scott wouldn't be biased, but I thought wrong.
Olivia: We can still come out on top...right?
Cindy: Something tells me that this challenge isn't going to end too well for us...
For the next part of the challenge, they were a bag containing pieces of eight and a treasure chest.
"You need to load the bag into the treasure chest...but since simply emptying the bag into the treasure chest is too easy you're going to be taking the pieces out one by one and putting them in the chest." said Dawn.
Since Team Oscar won the first part of the challenge, they naturally received an advantage.
"Right then...Team Oscar, since you won the first part of the challenge, you get bigger pieces of eight than the other two teams." explained Dawn.
Team Oscar began to cheer. Hopefully they weren't going to have to attend an awards cermony tonight. That was what they were specifically trying to avoid this time around.
Sure enough, they were going to have an easier time during the challenge.
"Right then...I guess you can start now." said the moonchild.
Immediately, the campers began to load the treasure chests.
However, Lucca pulled out a silver piece of eight.
"Eek!" exclaimed the wolf girl. She didn't like silver at all.
"What's with the silver pieces of eight?" asked Cynthia.
"If you put one of those in the treasure chest...then it will close for about thirty seconds...suffice to say you don't want to put them in your treasure chest." explained Dawn.
Upon realizing this, Artemis suddenly got an idea.
While her teammates weren't watching, she suddenly put one of the silver pieces of eight in one of the treasure chests, causing it to shut.
Morgan groaned.
"Darn it! Now we're going to have to play the waiting game..." noted Patrick.
Unfortunately, this was allowing Team Oscar and Team Stardom to get ahead of them.
For some strange reason, he got the feeling that Artemis had done so on purpose.
But...why would she want Team Hollywood to lose?
Something strange was going on.
Confessional: Just what is Artemis up to?
Artemis: Everything is going according to plan.
Scott: Heh heh...Artemis is using my strategy.
Patrick: Why did Artemis do that? Then again she'll probably explain it to me after the challenge.
Cindy: We've got to pay attention to what we're putting in that chest.
Lucca: Silver terrifies me! I'm probably going to encounter it if we have a phobia factor challenge.
Fortunately for Team Stardom, they were able to pull ahead of Team Hollywood.
However, they weren't able to keep us with Team Oscar.
"Dang...fortune's really shining in Team Oscar today, isn't it?" inquired Wendy.
"It sure is." nodded Olivia.
"To be fair, they did lose the first two challenges." noted Neila.
"Yeah..." acknowledged Louis.
"Something tells me they're going to win this time..." said Forrest.
"Maybe!" exclaimed Kairi.
"If so...then hooray for them." spoke Neila.
"I doubt they could beat me in a mechanical challenge." spoke the mechanic.
"Maybe there will be a mechanical challenge, maybe not." answered Wendy.
"Why are Total Drama challenges always so random?" questioned Olivia.
Wendy shrugged.
"To keep the audience entertained, I guess." shrugged Marvin.
Curious, he noticed that there were bronze pieces of eight as well.
"What do these do?" asked Louis.
"If you put a bronze piece of eight in the chest...then you'll be allowed to put two pieces of eight inside for fifteen seconds." explained Dawn.
"I guess we better put this in there then!" exclaimed Neila.
"Mind you, it will crumble if you go without doing so for too long. It's made of a fragile material..." spoke the hostess.
"I guess we better hurry and put this in then!" exclaimed Kairi.
Fortunately for Team Stardom, they were able to do so.
"Very good. Have fun scoring double points." said Dawn.
Unfortunately, they were still unable to pull ahead of Team Oscar.
"Well, at least we're ahead of Team Hollywood..." noted Louis.
Strangely, they noticed that Artemis seemed rather happy about that.
"Huh?" asked Wendy.
Confessional: Team Hollywood is losing! Why is Artemis happy?
Wendy: Artemis's happy that her team is losing? That's pretty strange.
Louis: We should keep looking for bronze pieces of eight...and avoid the silver ones while we're at it. Those are bad.
Neila: Is Artemis...right in the head?
Artemis: *she is rubbing her hands together*
Marvin: Girls scare me in general...but Artemis really stands out regardless.
After the treasure chest opened up again after thirty seconds had passed, Artemis found a bronze piece of eight inside the bag.
However, rather than put it in the treasure chest, she tossed it out in the sand again.
It crumbled shortly afterward.
Cindy raised an eyebrow. Had Artemis done that on purpose?
"Hmm..." though the rock star.
If so, something told her that they had big trouble on their hands.
But...why would Artemis want an awards ceremony?
Something fishy was going on...and it wasn't just the challenge.
Did this have anything to do with Bruce's disappearance? She found it odd for him to wander off somewhere without telling anyone.
She wondered if she should have a talk with Artemis. She had a feeling that she had something to do with all of this.
But for now, she decided that she wanted to see if she could help win the challenge for the team..
Granted, they were losing hope...but they could at least try, right?
Curious, she wondered if she should also keep an eye on Artemis to see what she was planning to do next.
As of now, she was searching for more silver pieces of eight, knowing what would happen if she put one in the treasure chest.
"Found one!" exclaimed Artemis.
Cindy rolled her eyes.
Getting a bit desperate, she tried to take the silver piece of eight from her...
...but her grip was too strong.
"Sheesh! She's stronger than she looks!" noted the rock star.
Once again, Artemis closed the treasure chest while her teammates weren't paying attention.
Confessional: Artemis is one bad girl.
Artemis: For some strange reason, people think I'm sweet and lovable rather than evil...I never really understood why.
Cindy: I'm going to write a song about how Artemis screwed us over...
Lucca: I think I was right to fear silver!
Morgan: Why is Artemis deliberately sabotaging us? I'm starting to wonder if I should vote her off. Then again, I don't think she would be doing this on purpose unless she had some sort of plan.
Scott: I just love how history is repeating itself!
Team Oscar were rather excited. Thanks to the fact that they had found the golden parrot, they had a fairly big advantage during the challenge.
Not only that, but it was easier for them to spot silver and bronze pieces of eight...since their pieces of eight was much bigger.
Sure enough, they were able to find a bronze piece of eight somewhat easily.
Immediately, Jack put the bronze piece of eight in the treasure chest.
"Yes!" cheered the thief.
"Woohoo!" bellowed Aqua.
"It looks like we win today...though I'm not going to count my chickens before they hatch." noted Rachel.
"Can I have some chicken wings if we win?" asked Dennis.
"Um...sure." answered the flirt.
"Yes!" exclaimed the chubby boy.
"I'd like something to eat myself..." noted Quinta.
"Let's hang out!" exclaimed Dennis, putting his arm around Quinta's neck.
"Hey! She's mine!" bellowed Norman.
Dennis backed away from Quinta.
"Um..." murmured the teenage girl.
Oddly enough, despite being rather lecherous, Rachel never really tried flirting with fat people.
Apparently, they just weren't her type.
Then again, she got the feeling that the only thing Dennis really loved as food.
Shrugging, she wondered if she should try flirting with Norman. Then again, he did seem already attached to Quinta.
Who should she try flirting with?
Confessional: Any male camper on this show, really.
Rachel: Maybe I should try flirting with Morgan...personally I think that he's a hunk! Then again, we aren't on the same team.
Jack: I'll marry anyone...so long as they're rich. Yes...I happen to be a gold digger.
Aqua: I think I'll marry a sailor...
Norman: Quinta is such a cute girl...but why is she so envious?
After a few minutes, Team Oscar successfully filled their treasure chest.
"Congratulations!" exclaimed Dawn.
Immediately, Team Oscar began to cheer.
"Once again, you get an advantage during the challenge." said moonchild.
Team Hollywood and Team Stardom both sighed. At this rate, they weren't going to be able to score first place.
Team Oscar were feeling pretty lucky indeed.
"Right then...the next challenge is going to be trying to stay aboard a boat." spoke Dawn.
"Stay aboard a boat?" inquired Patrick.
"It's going to shake uncontrollably...so before you step on, does anyone get seasick?" asked the moonchild.
"I do." answered Morgan.
"Alright then...you get solo immunity if your team loses...however, you won't be able to vote." said Dawn.
Morgan shrugged. That seemed fair enough.
"Also...is anyone unable to swim?" asked the moonchild.
"I can't..." murmured Dennis.
"Oddly enough I happen to be an excellent swimmer..." noted Aqua.
"That doesn't surprise me..." answered Rachel.
"Alright then...I'll give you a life preserver." said Dawn.
Immediately, she put the life preserver around his waist.
"Thank you!" exclaimed Dennis.
"I guess he's too fat to swim..." remarked Cynthia.
"I can do the doggy paddle pretty well!" exclaimed Lucca.
"That's because you were raised by wolves." noted Cindy.
"Oh...right." answered the wolf girl.
"I don't see why you forgot that." spoke Patrick.
"Yeah...why did I forget that?" inquired Lucca.
Confessional: It looks like everyone's ready.
Dennis: How am I supposed to take this off after the challenge? I think it's stuck! Darn my enormous stomach...
Morgan: There...hopefully now I won't vomit all over the place. Then again, people used to vomit all the time on this show.
Aqua: We get a bigger boat? Yes!
Roger: Maybe it's time for us to use our Mike Idol...
Realizing that they were at a disadvantage against Team Oscar, Team Stardom decided it was time to use their Mike Idol.
Immediately, Louis pulled out the Idol.
"What's this? Two idols in the same challenge...how about that." said the hostess.
B scratched his head.
"Right...let's see what you're going to get." spoke Dawn.
"I bet you're going to get a colossal disadvantage!" exclaimed Scott.
"Grow up, Scott." demanded the moonchild.
"Yeah! Listen to her!" bellowed Scott's conscience.
"Never." answered the main villain of Total Drama Revenge Of The Island.
Scott's conscience began to scream.
"Heh heh heh." snickered Scott.
Personally, Scott's talking conscience wondered if he should go elsewhere.
"I wonder if I have a talking conscience..." murmured Dawn.
Sure enough, Dawn's conscience suddenly materialized in her brain.
Oddly enough, she somewhat resembled her.
"Um, hey there..." said the moonchild.
"Hey!" exclaimed Dawn's conscience.
"So...have I been a good girl lately?" asked the hostess.
"You sure have!" answered the figment of her imagination.
"Yes!" cheered Dawn.
"You sure have it easy..." murmured Scott's conscience.
"I'm sorry that you got stuck with him." sympathized Dawn's conscience.
"Er...how are our consciences interacting?" questioned Dawn.
Dawn and Scott's consciences both shrugged.
"Who cares?" asked Scott.
Confessional: Yes, Dawn has a talking conscience too.
Dawn's Conscience: How am I using the confessional? Oh well.
Scott's Conscience: Yes...I'm using the confessional again. It defies all logic.
Dawn: Why is my conscience suddenly speaking? This hasn't happened before...
Scott: I'm a bit surprised I even have a conscience...
Immediately, the twenty-two (er, twenty-one) campers boarded the three ships.
Well, Team Oscar and Team Hollywood did anyway. Team Stardom were still awaiting the results of their Mike Idol.
Fortunately, it appeared that they were getting an advantage during the challenge.
"Congratulations!" exclaimed Dawn.
"Yes!" cheered Kairi.
"Alright!" exclaimed Louis.
"I guess today's our lucky day." said Neila.
"I'm looking forward to this!" bellowed Roger.
"This is going to be fun..." murmured Olivia.
"I feel so excited." said Forrest.
"We sure got lucky." noted Marvin.
"Maybe I should write a book about this..." questioned Wendy.
Immediately, Dawn pressed a button to enlarge the boat.
"I didn't know you could do that..." spoke B.
"The boats were secretly adjustable...that's why I was able to give Team Oscar a bigger boat." explained the moonchild.
"Now I get it..." murmured the silent genius.
Team Hollywood groaned. It was going to be harder for them to win the challenge than ever now.
Confessional: Can Team Hollywood win this?
Vincent: *he is thinking of what to do*
Artemis: Perfect! Now we're going to lose for sure!
Patrick: We're the only team not to get a big boat...*he sighs*
Lucca: Are we going to lose?
Immediately, Team Stardom stepped onto their enlarged boat as well.
"Right...I'm going to start off small. That way you won't have a hard time staying on the boat...however, it's going to get harder." spoke Dawn.
Pressing a button, the ships began to shake mildly.
Immediately, the campers began to grab on to something so that they wouldn't fall off.
At the moment, nobody had done so.
"Again, this is just a sign of what's to come." said Dawn.
"Graaarghh!" bellowed a voice.
"Huh?" asked the moonchild.
Suddenly, James appeared...he was wearing a pirate's bandana.
"CragmiteBlaster already did this during Total Drama Tweenabet!" bellowed the teenage boy.
"I thought he got voted off..." said Quinta.
"Yeah, me too..." nodded Norman.
"He has a habit of showing up regardless of how many times we kick him off the show...don't worry about him." spoke Dawn.
"I demand that we do a more original challenge!" exclaimed James.
"Well, I suppose that we could make a few changes." said the moonchild.
Immediately, she pulled out some buckets of paint.
Shortly afterwards, the interns painted Team Stardom's boat blue, Team Hollywood's boat red, and Team Oscar's boat green.
"Alright then! It looks good!" exclaimed Izzy.
"Yeah...it does..." nodded Owen.
"Funny...I was under the impression that since you were fat that you weren't a good swimmer..." questioned Alejandro.
"I know...it's weird." answered the chubby teenager.
"Don't call him fat!" demanded Staci.
"Fine..." murmured the manipulator.
"Is that better?" asked Dawn.
"A little bit..." murmured James.
"Hmm..." thought the moonchild. How was she going to make the challenge more original?
"I'll see what I can do."
James let out a sigh of relief.
"Oddly enough back when Blaineley was on this show we would usually throw a pie in his face to get him to leave..." noted Mike.
"Oh yeah..." acknowledged Dawn.
"Anyone got a pie?" asked Scott.
"I have one!" exclaimed Izzy.
"But it's wet and soggy..." pointed out Owen. They were in water a few minutes ago.
"Who cares?" inquired the teenage girl.
"It's not necessary." said Dawn.
James let out a sigh of relief.
Confessional: Yes, I want this story to be original.
Dawn: Maybe I could throw in some things?
James: *he is hyperventilating*
Aqua: Shouldn't he be at the Playa? Personally I would love to use their swimming pool...that's something to look forward to if I get voted off, I suppose.
Dawn pressed the button again, and this time the boat was shaking a bit more vigorously.
"Oh boy..." murmured Cindy.
"I wonder whose going to fall off first?" inquired Neila.
As it turned out, it was Louis.
"D'oh!" bellowed the boy.
"Oh dear...you've always been rather unfortunate." noted the former intern.
"I know..." nodded Louis.
"Sorry, but you're out of the challenge." said Dawn.
Sighing, Louis swam back to the shoreline.
"I hope that they can do this without me..." spoke the teenage boy.
"Maybe you could try cheering them on?" suggested the hostess.
"Not like it will do them any good." murmured Scott.
"Aren't you a party pooper." noted Dawn.
"That reminds me...I need to use the restroom." spoke B.
"Alright then...Scott, you hold on for the camera for me, will you?" inquired the moonchild.
"But it's heavy..." complained Scott.
"Well, maybe you should have thought of that before you started being mean to the campers..." pointed out Dawn.
"Yeah...maybe you should have thought of that." suggested Scott's conscience.
Scott began to grumble.
Personally, he wondered how B was able to lift it so easily. Then again, his title on Revenge Of The Island was "The Strong, Silent Genius."
"Right...time to make some changes..." said Dawn.
Immediately, part of the ships each of the teams were on broke off.
Confessional: This is the Total Drama Insanity vandalism challenge all over again.
James: Finally! Now I can go back to the Playa! Oddly enough they suggested that I take some deep breaths...I wonder why?
Dawn: Don't worry...I can always get these boats fixed.
Lucca: Wow! That was exciting!
Aqua: I'm a bit glad that Susan is gone...she wouldn't do well in this challenge at all.
The effects were immediately noticeable.
Sure enough, some of the campers ended up falling into the water.
Cindy and Patrick both fell in, Patrick landing on top of Cindy in the process.
Immediately, they both began to blush.
Likewise, Olivia and Marvin fell in as well...
...in the process, they ended up sharing a kiss, causing their faces to turn red.
"OK...I'm starting to wonder if this was such a good idea." noted Dawn.
"At least the challenge is more original now." said James.
"I'm so glad that I'm not competing in this challenge..." murmured Morgan.
"I wouldn't mind kissing Neila..." spoke Louis to himself.
"What?" asked Morgan.
"Nothing, nothing!" exclaimed the boy in embarrassment.
Neila raised an eyebrow. She thought for a second that Louis had mentioned her name.
What exactly had he said?
Norman ended up falling off as well.
"How can I fall off first? I am perfect!" exclaimed the teenage boy.
He was not happy at the turn of the events.
"Funny...I was under the impression that I was going to fall off first..." spoke Quinta.
Suddenly, she ended up falling off the ship...and ended up kissing Norman on the lips.
"Woohoo!" thought Norman.
"Heh heh..." giggled Quinta.
"Did we really have to change the challenge?" asked Dawn.
"The campers are getting their first kisses, aren't they?" inquired Rachel.
"Well, that's true..." answered the moonchild.
Rachel began to giggle.
Confessional: Love is in the air! Even though it isn't Valentine's Day.
Rachel: This challenge is so awesome...
Jack: The only thing I would ever kiss is a bag of money! *he begins kissing his bag of money*
Dennis: I'm in love with food...nothing else.
Artemis: Am I going to kiss Roger on the lips? Then again we're not on the same team.
The challenge went on like this...with Dawn making the boat shake more and breaking off pieces of the ship.
Eventually, it came down to Artemis, Neila, and Aqua.
"Wow...Artemis is really strong." noted Roger.
"I know..." nodded Cindy. She found that out when she tried to take a silver piece of eight away from her.
"Don't try wrestling her." warned Patrick.
Oddly enough, Vincent had happened to be the next person standing next to Artemis herself. Apparently, he was very strong as well...though not at her level.
By the looks of it, he would be able to defeat Patrick in a wrestling match as well, though of course he would have a harder time than Artemis.
Of course, since Artemis wanted her team to lose, she decided to let go.
"Whoops!" exclaimed the preteen girl.
"Sorry, Team Hollywood...but you've lost the challenge." said Dawn.
Cynthia scowled, Vincent frowned, Cindy played a song of sorrow, Patrick's soccer ball deflated, Lucca howled sadly, Morgan stomped his foot in frustration (even though he didn't have to worry about being eliminated), and Artemis screamed "Nooooo!" much like Darth Vader (even though it was her intention to lose the challenge).
Back at the Team Hollywood girls' trailer, Bruce fell to the ground and tapped his fist against the floor. Apparently, he had realized his team had lost as well, even though he wasn't actually present.
Either that, or he was simply upset that Artemis forced him to be a transvestite.
Team Oscar began to smile. It looked like they weren't going to have to attend an awards ceremony this time.
Of course, it down between Neila and Aqua.
"Ever since the accident...I've been rather strong." noted the former intern.
However, she eventually lost against Aqua.
"Well, second place isn't too bad." acknowledged Neila.
"Yes! We won!" exclaimed Aqua.
"Congratulations, Aqua. And congratulations, Team Oscar." cheered Dawn.
Louis scratched his head, Neila let out a yawn, Wendy resumed reading her book, Olivia oiled her metal leg, Marvin shrugged, Kairi swung around her fake katana, Forrest fiddled with his wrench, and Roger adjusted his hat.
Dennis ravenously ate some food, Jack began to hug his bag of money tightly, Rachel blew the audience a kiss, Aqua poured water on herself, Norman looked at himself in the mirror, and a big smile appeared on Quinta's face.
"Team Oscar, since you're our big winners for today, you each get your own toy pirate ships." explained Dawn.
Team Oscar began to cheer.
"Team Stardom...you don't get a prize...but you don't get an awards ceremony either. I guess it all balances out." noted the moonchild.
"That's why we were kind of indifferent." acknowledged Wendy.
"I understand why the campers do that when they get second place." spoke B. He would feel rather indifferent too.
"Team Hollywood...you've scored last for the first time this season. This time, you're going to be attending the awards ceremony." noted the moonchild.
Immediately, Artemis began to giggle.
"Why is Artemis so excited about this?" asked Cindy.
"I think she's up to no good." answered Patrick.
"Hmm..." thought the rock star.
"Psst! Patrick! Meet me at the girls' trailer!" whispered Artemis.
"Huh? Sure." murmured the jock.
Cindy raised an eyebrow.
Confessional: Just how is Patrick going to be involved in Artemis's evil plan?
Artemis: Good, we've lost the challenge. Now it's time for Phase 2!
Cynthia: Why do I get the feeling that something bad is going to happen to one of my teammates?
Lucca: Darn it! We lost!
Cindy: *she is scratching her head*
A few minutes later...
"Alright, Patrick. I want you to empty this bag into Bruce's suitcase for me." said Artemis.
"What's in that bag?" inquired the jock.
"You'll see." answered the preteen girl.
Immediately, Patrick emptied the bag into Bruce's suitcase.
"When I give the signal, you'll show everyone what you found in his suitcase." spoke Artemis.
"What signal should we use?" inquired Patrick.
Artemis handed Patrick her cell phone.
"You have a cell phone?" asked the jock.
"Yes, I built one myself. When it vibrates, you know what to do, right?" asked Artemis.
"I...guess." nodded Patrick.
"Good. I want you to lock me in the girls' trailer now." spoke the preteen girl.
"The girls' trailer? I thought it only locked from the inside." questioned Patrick.
"Thanks to a few adjustments I made, it can be locked from the outside too." explained Artemis.
"Alright then." answered the jock.
"Besides, I have a skeleton key!" exclaimed Artemis.
Immediately, she pulled out her skeleton key.
"Alright then. I'll do that then." nodded Patrick.
"When you do that, I want you to hide in Team Hollywood's boys trailer. Again, the cell phone will vibrate and you'll know what to do." spoke the preteen girl.
"Right, of course." acknowledged the jock.
Immediately, Patrick locked Artemis in.
"Right...now it's time for Phase 3!" exclaimed the evil genius.
"Phase 3?" asked the jock.
"In which a certain school bully's going to get what he deserves!" bellowed Artemis.
"What? Bruce?" inquired Patrick.
"Yes, that's right!" exclaimed the preteen girl.
"Are you sure about this?" asked the jock.
"Of course I'm sure!" bellowed Artemis.
Patrick let out a sigh.
Confessional: Conspiracy alert!
Patrick: I'm starting to wonder if I should have gotten myself involved in this evil plan...well, it's too late to do anything about it now.
Artemis: *she has a wide grin on her face*
Immediately, Artemis dressed up Bruce in his normal clothes.
"Hmm?" asked the school bully.
She then used a growth potion to change him back to normal.
"You're changing me back to normal? Great! Now I can get my revenge!" bellowed Bruce.
Immediately, he reached forward to yank on Artemis's hair.
This would prove to be a big mistake.
"You're offering your arm? How kind of you!" exclaimed the preteen girl.
Immediately, Artemis grabbed onto Bruce's arm and began to twist it as hard as she could...
...which was very hard indeed.
"Gah!" bellowed Bruce.
Artemis began to giggle.
"Make it stop!" screamed the bully.
"Whose the brother of your father?" asked the preteen girl.
"My uncle! Uncle!" cried out Bruce.
Artemis let go of Bruce's arm.
Immediately, his face turned pale.
"What? Were you expecting me to be weak just because I'm a girl? Well, I certainly proved you wrong, didn't I?" asked Artemis.
"What-what are you?!" exclaimed Bruce.
"Just a little girl with way too time on her hands." answered the preteen girl.
Curious, he began to wonder where he was.
"Wait...where am I?" asked the bully.
"The girls' trailer." answered Artemis.
"What?! I can't stay here!" bellowed Bruce.
Immediately, he went to open the door to the trailer...
...only to find that it was locked.
"What's going on?!" exclaimed the bully.
"Sorry, but it's locked from the outside. Don't worry, I'm sure that someone will come to rescue you...however, they won't be too happy to find you invading their privacy." noted Artemis.
"What?!" bellowed Bruce.
"Say...I think I hear one of the girls now!" exclaimed the preteen girl.
"I need to get my belongings." murmured Cynthia.
"Wait a minute...you-you set me up!" bellowed Bruce.
"I bet you thought that I was a sweet and innocent girl, didn't you? Big mistake!" exclaimed Artemis.
"Oh man! You've got to shrink me again!" shouted the bully.
"Sorry, but I couldn't help you even if I wanted to. I already threw the shrinking potion away. I didn't need it anymore...besides, I can always make more!" bellowed Total Drama Ecstasy's youngest camper.
Meanwhile at the kitchen...
"Hmm...that's weird...I don't recall it being trash day. Oh well." shrugged Chef.
Personally he was happy that the trash bin had been mysteriously emptied.
"Wait...that's weird...the trash is still here...it just appears to have shrunk. How odd. Oh well. I won't look a gift horse in the mouth." noted the cook.
Immediately, he began to cook some food for the campers.
Confessional: Wasn't that nice of Artemis? Then again, she probably didn't do that on purpose.
Chef: *he is whistling*
Back at the girls' trailer...
Getting desperate, Bruce decided that he needed to hide.
Unfortunately, he was too big to hide underneath one of the beds.
"Funny...I noticed that you took pride in how big you were...not so productive when you need to hide, now is it?" inquired Artemis.
At this point, Bruce was ready to panic.
"What am I going to do?!" he screamed.
Sure enough, he had his hands pressed against the sides of his head.
"I know what I'm going to do! I'm going to sit back and watch the fun!" exclaimed Artemis.
Immediately, she hid underneath the bed. Unlike Bruce, she was able to hide underneath it very easily.
"Goodbye!" bellowed the preteen girl.
At that very moment, Cynthia opened the door.
She immediately noticed Bruce.
"Um...hi?" asked the bully.
Immediately, Cynthia let out a bloodcurdling scream, causing him to cover his ears.
That scream would be loud enough to attract virtually every single female camper.
"Oh no..." murmured Bruce.
Confessional: Things aren't looking so good for Bruce.
Cynthia: Bruce has got some nerve!
Artemis: *she is laughing hysterically*
Bruce: Uh-oh...
Louis: Oddly enough I feel rather happy right about now...I wonder why?
An angry mob of female campers gathered around the Team Hollywood girls' trailer, ready to bring Bruce to justice.
Thankfully, Cindy was there to help him through with this.
"Bruce, you need to step out of the girls' trailer and face that mob so that you can apologize for what you did. You really shouldn't have gone in here." noted the rock star.
"It's not my fault! Artemis framed me!" bellowed Bruce.
"She did?" asked the rock star.
"Yes! Besides, they might hurt you too!" exclaimed the bully.
"What? No, we won't! We just want Bruce!" bellowed Kairi.
"Well, OK...maybe you're safe...but they'll kill Cynthia!" screeched Bruce.,
"Who do you think's leading the mob?!" shouted Cynthia.
Bruce sighed. It was time for him to stop making excuses.
Reluctantly, he stepped out of the girls' trailer...and found himself being pelted with fruits and vegetables.
"You pervert!" exclaimed Aqua.
"What were you thinking?!" bellowed Quinta.
"Oddly enough I don't really have any complaints...I just wanted to see why you were all gathered here." spoke Rachel.
"This isn't my fault!" exclaimed Bruce.
"Oh really? Explain what happened then!" shouted Cynthia.
"It was Artemis! She forced me into the girls' trailer!" pleaded Bruce.
The female campers rolled their eyes.
"Everyone knows that Artemis would never do such a thing! She's a complete and utter angel!" exclaimed Wendy.
Somehow, Cindy got the feeling that wasn't so true.
At that very moment, the cell phone in Patrick's pocket began to vibrate.
It was time for the next part of the plan.
"Hey everyone! Look what I found in Bruce's suitcase!" exclaimed the jock.
Stepping out of the boys' trailer, Patrick showed the suitcase's content to the girls, causing them to gasp in shock.
Inside the suitcase were the girls' clothing, much of which was their underwear.
Immediately, the girls began to glare at Bruce, who began to gulp.
Confessional: I think it's safe to say that Bruce's chances of winning the competition have just hit zero.
Dawn: All of a sudden I feel a really strange sense of deja vu...
Scott: *he is snickering* Alright!
Cynthia: Bruce...you...freaking...pervert!
Bruce: *he is crying*
Artemis: *she is rolling on the floor laughing*
Patrick: So that was what was in that bag? Sheesh!
Olivia was not happy at Bruce. At all.
Immediately, she kicked Bruce in the groin, causing him to collapse in the ground in pain.
"You disgust me!" bellowed the girl with a metal leg.
And to make matters worse, she had chosen to use her metal leg rather than her right, meaning that it was even more painful than normal.
At this point, Bruce was unable to breathe.
"Yeah! Way to show him!" exclaimed Lucca.
"I hope you're happy, Bruce! Today's going to be your last day in the competition!" bellowed Cynthia.
"Next time...don't steal our belongings..." murmured Neila.
"You're as lecherous as Jiraiya the Toad Sage!" bellowed Kairi.
Rachel handed some of her underwear to Bruce.
"You can keep this. It was a bit too small for me anyway..." said the flirt.
"What a whirlpool you turned out to be!" exclaimed Aqua.
Curious, Cindy thought she heard the sound of someone giggling.
Raising an eyebrow, she noticed that Artemis was not present among all the female campers.
"Things just keep getting stranger..." murmured the rock star.
Now that she thought about it...how exactly did Patrick know to search Bruce's suitcase? Granted, it wasn't necessarily a bad idea...but it was still a bit odd.
"I should really keep an eye on Artemis." noted Cindy.
Where was she, anyway?
"Well, I guess I should get ready for the awards ceremony...though the outcome's already a foregone conclusion." acknowledged the rock star.
Confessional: I think you know who's going to be eliminated...but if not, you're going to find out.
Artemis: This will teach you to steal my teddy! *she taps Bruce's icon on her pager*
Vincent: *he taps Bruce's icon, with a big smirk on his face*
Cindy: I feel sorry for Bruce...I'm going to vote for Artemis instead.
Bruce: *sighing, he taps Artemis's icon on his pager*
A few minutes later...
"Well, Team Hollywood...it looks like you're on the chopping block this time. You seemed to be going pretty strong up until now...but I guess you were bound to slip up sooner or later eh." noted Ezekiel.
"Yeah..." nodded Cynthia.
Bruce was whimpering.
"I suppose you might still be able to do well in challenges with only seven campers...then again, sometimes teams can fall apart like that eh." spoke the farm boy.
"I suppose not all of us were going to make it..." acknowledged Patrick.
Artemis was rather ecstatic about this particular awards ceremony, to say the very least.
"I can understand why..." remarked the jock.
"Right...it's time for me to give you your bags of popcorn now eh." noted Ezekiel.
"I get the first bag of popcorn because I'm immune, right?" asked Morgan.
"You sure do eh. I guess you got lucky like that...then again, there was a clear majority in voting off one of you..." spoke the farm boy.
Bruce began to sniffle.
"The next bag of popcorn goes to Cynthia." noted Ezekiel.
Cynthia immediately threw the bag of popcorn at Bruce.
"Agh!" bellowed the bully.
"That'll teach you!" screeched Cynthia.
"Please don't play with your food eh." demanded the farm boy.
"The next bag of popcorn goes to Cindy."
"Well, that's nice..." murmured the rock star. Personally, she couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for Bruce.
Then again, he really shouldn't have bullied the campers the way he did.
"Vincent, you're still in the game."
Vincent smirked in satisfaction.
"Lucca, I hope you enjoy this." said Ezekiel.
"I sure will!" exclaimed the wolf girl.
"Patrick, you're still here too."
Patrick happily claimed his bag of popcorn.
Artemis and Bruce were still without bags of popcorn. Artemis was playing with her teddy bear while Bruce let out a sigh.
"Right...the last bag of tonight goes to..."
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
Ezekiel let out a cough.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
"Artemis."
Sighing, Bruce rose from his seat.
"Um, Artemis...you can claim your bag of popcorn now." spoke Ezekiel.
"What? Oh, sure!" exclaimed the preteen girl.
Immediately, she picked up the bag of popcorn.
"Well, Bruce...anything you would like to say before you enter the Train Of Shame eh?" asked the farm boy.
"Stay away from Artemis! She is evil!" warned Bruce.
Curious, the campers looked around, and noticed Artemis was currently doodling.
"Uh-huh, sure." answered Cynthia.
Immediately, Bruce entered the Train Of Shame.
"Well, try not to end up here next time eh." spoke Ezekiel.
"I won't." answered Artemis.
Cindy let out a sigh of relief.
A few minutes later...
"Well, I guess Bruce just learned not to judge a book by its cover...oddly enough that sounds like something Noah or Wendy would say." noted Dawn.
"Yeah..." nodded B.
"Scott, it's time for you to head back to the intern's lounge now." said the moonchild.
"Alright." answered the devious hick.
Immediately, he headed back to the intern's lounge.
Dawn let out a sigh of relief a few minutes later.
"Right...well, I guess it's time for to turn off the camera now...this feels like such a long episode." noted the moonchild.
"I know..." answered B.
"Who would have thought that Artemis would frame Bruce?" inquired Dawn.
"Yeah..." acknowledged the genius.
"I don't want to get on her bad side." noted the hostess.
"Me neither." agreed Bruce.
Immediately, Dawn turned off the camera.
"I'm probably going to have trouble sleeping tonight..." spoke the moonchild.
"Would you like me to come with you?" asked B.
"Sure!" exclaimed Dawn.
Together, they went towards the interns' lounge.
