SideshowJazz1: If I have to guess, your least favorite finalist is Mike, I know you like him as a character judging from your stories but we both know he was undeserving.
Ever since the last elimination ceremony Dakota had become a lot more open with the team. She apologized with full remorse for getting distracted in the challenge and told her team that she'd cancel the paparazzi.
Sara and Sam had already forgiven her, Dawn seemed happy with this news, B gave a thumbs up and while Scott did accept, he didn't do it without a smirk.
The Toxic Rats soon went to the Mess Hall to have breakfast, during the meal, Sam accidentally coughed some gruel on Scott's face, he looked mad but he didn't really act on it. Dakota choked on a baby mutant beetle which Dawn was able to get out of her and soon she adopted the beetle.
Nothing much seemed to happen but Sara knew the team chemistry definitely seemed better than on the Maggots.
Suddenly a mouse with an enlarged brain suddenly glowed it's eyes green and things got chaotic and everyone got out the Mess Hall before it hurt anyone. Mike got out by getting thrown to the ground but everyone else made it out normally.
"Attention players." Chris' voice was heard by the loudspeaker, "Please head to the looming tragedy that is Mount Looming Tragedy! Your race begins now!"
"Maggots go!" Jo ordered before they began running in which Sara began running with her team as well.
After a while everyone made it to the mountain but Cameron threw up in a bush when he showed up.
"If I was a hamster, I would have eaten you by now." Jo said angrily.
A whistle soon caught Sara's attention as Chris began explaining the rules of the challenge, they'd have to climb the mountain and maybe use some junk guarded by the giant mutant beetle, and the first team to make it to the top would win the first part of the challenge
The challenge began and Sara saw Cameron try to climb the mountain but he was clearly struggling which looked absolutely sad but Anne Maria wasn't even participating.
Sara concentrated on climbing but as luck would have it Scott was climbing with her too.
"Well, it looks like we're partners again." Scott said smugly.
"Ha ha," Sara sarcastically laughed before glaring, "This is only a coincidence, and besides we need to win anyway so don't take this the wrong way."
"Relax, you're nowhere near my type." Scott smirked, "I was just teasing."
"Okay well let's just climb to the top already." Sara said angrily.
"Can do." Scott nodded.
Soon Sara began to make it to the top but an ice block was thrown down by Chef, unfortunately she wasn't able to dodge it in time and she ended up falling with her dragging Scott down with her.
Thankfully B was able to make a rocket couch which allowed the Rats to win the first part of the challenge, Sara felt bad about Scott getting injured though, but he seemed fine.
The next part of the challenge was in a snowy area thanks to Chris' ice machine, it was basically capture the flag but with a twist, there would be two snow forts, one looked absolutely crappy, and the other looked like an actual castle.
"The Rats won the first part, so they get first dibs on the forts." Chris told the Toxic Rats.
"Castle! Easy! No question!" Sara said immediately.
"Okay suit yourselves, you'll be in the castle." Chris pointed to the snow castle.
Soon the Toxic Rats got in the snow castle and Sara was glad to see her team was cheering.
"Aw yeah we definitely have the upper hand, the Rats rule!" Sam cheered.
"Listen up, players!" Chris said using a megaphone, "Use the shovel in each fort to fire your collection of mystery balls, which you can fire at each other's forts."
Sara looked to see a bunch of snowballs and a shovel.
"Why are they called mystery balls!" She heard Zoey call out.
"Because they inflict major damage, thanks to the secret weapon hidden inside each ball, but some will damage you, so choose wisely. Each team has to elect a captain to command and conquer, starting now!" Chris yelled.
"I'm captain, deal with it." Scott said immediately, Sara didn't bother arguing, while she wanted to lead, she did kinda owe Scott for his help last elimination.
"B, Dawn, and I stay here, Sam, Sara, and Dakota will all capture their Maggoty flag." Scott smirked.
"Um, maybe someone with a little more leg-foot coordination should-" Sam began speaking before Chris blew his airhorn, ergo beginning the challenge.
"Let's do this!" Dakota shouted which made Sara smile.
"Great more running." Sam sighed before they began running.
After a while Dakota stopped, and began calling out, "Sam you gotta go faster, we need this win for the numbers advantage."
Sam soon slipped on the ice and began sliding on it, "Looks like the Thunder's gonna arrive to the Maggots' fort first."
Soon Sam stopped sliding and ice began cracking causing it to fall apart and Sam fell in the water, he soon came out in an ice cube.
Sara heard Chef laughing and glared, not that it would do anything but it was worth trying to get some frustration out.
"Forgot to tell you, no man's land is like no man's water." Chris smirked.
"Dakota, we gotta get Sam outta the water." Sara ordered.
"Agreed, the flag can wait." Dakota nodded before she and Sara began lifting Sam's ice cube out the water, they did see a snowball demolish part of the Maggot's fort, Sara would smirk if this wasn't so dire right now. Soon they finally got Sam out of the icy water.
"Don't worry buddy we'll get you out. Uh how do we get him out?" Dakota asked meekly.
Sara looked at the Maggots base and also saw that Anne Maria, Zoey, and Brick were getting really close to the Rat's fort.
"We'll have to worry about that later, we need to attack the Maggots." Sara sighed.
"What?! But we can't leave Sam here!" Dakota said incredulously.
"We have to, we'll ask Chris and Chef about how to unfreeze him later but for now we have to go or we'll lose and Sam will probably be voted off." Sara said.
"That seems fair, let's go." Dakota said sadly before she and Sara began running towards the Mutant Maggot's base, Sara did catch the look of sadness on Sam's face though and refused to meet his direction.
Sara and Dakota soon made it to the Mutant Maggot's base to see it in terrible shape. Jo was shoveling snow onto the fort thanks to the sun's glare, and the mutant beetle from earlier was attacking Cameron.
"You get the flag, I'll take care of Jo." Sara told Dakota to which she nodded and began running off.
Jo tried to pursue Dakota but Sara tackled Jo and tried to keep her pinned down but it was very hard as Jo was a fighter and was struggling to get up.
Dakota soon ran over to Cameron and the beetle and she took the flag from Cameron, it didn't seem too hard as while he did keep a grip on it, it was not enough to match Dakota's.
"Awesome, run back to the fort, I'll try to hold off Jo." Sara smiled but before Dakota could do anything, Chris made his announcement, "And the Mutant Maggots win invincibility."
"What?!" Sara asked incredulously.
Soon everyone met outside the fort with Sam glaring at Sara making her shrink back a bit, and Mike was currently shirtless, which was kind of odd.
"To the Maggots we have their reward, McLean brand hot chocolate, scald your senses with chocolatey goodness." Chris said happily.
The Mutant Maggots cheered at this while Sara groaned along with her teammates.
After the challenge, Sara decided to head back to the cabin but was stopped by Sam.
"We need to talk." Sam said angrily.
"Yes Sam?" Sara asked, knowing what this was about.
"You left me behind back at the challenge when I was trapped in an ice sculpture, how could you?" Sam asked furiously.
"Sam; it was nothing personal, we just needed to win the challenge I swear we were going to ask Chris and Chef how to unfreeze you later." Sara tried reassuring him.
"Oh I didn't really hear very well but I did hear Chris and Chef's name, I'm sorry but I just felt a bit abandoned when you left me like that." Sam sighed.
"No I should be sorry, we left you without trying to even figure out how to unfreeze you. How did you unfreeze anyway?" Sara asked curiously.
"B's invention malfunctioned, we're likely going to be voting him out tonight." Sam explained.
True enough later in the night Scott called everyone except B for a team meeting, this time Dakota was included.
"B screwed up in the challenge today, I think it goes without saying that we will be voting him off tonight." Scott said angrily.
"I never really thought B would do this to us but I guess he did." Sam sighed.
"How can we trust someone who doesn't even talk?" Scott added on.
"He probably just made a mistake today Scott, he does seem trustworthy but you have a point, it was AB's fault we lost." Sara argued.
"Okay then, meeting adjourned." Scott smirked.
Everyone soon walked off in different directions and after a while Chris called for the vote, Sara voted for B tonight, it was nothing personal but he did screw up, she just really hoped the team would start winning more.
"After another jam packed day of losing it comes down to this." Chris smirked, "The following rats are safeā¦"
"Dawn."
Dawn smiled as she caught her marshmallow.
"Dakota."
Dakota also smiled as she caught her marshmallow.
"Sam."
Sam caught his marshmallow with a sigh of relief.
"And Scott."
Scott once again smirked as he caught his marshmallow.
"And the Toxic Marshmallow Of Loserdom goes to.."
Sara was starting to get nervous as she was now in the bottom two with B, 'Were people more mad about the Sam thing than she thought they were. After all Sam may have forgiven me but I'm not so sure about Dawn and Dakota.'
"B."
"Thank goodness." Sara found herself blurting out before catching her regular marshmallow and soon the toxic marshmallow landed near B's feet and he sighed in sadness.
Soon Sara and the rest of the Toxic Rats went to see B off at the Hurl Of Shame where he would be launched out of a giant catapult.
"Any final words Beverly? Any words at all?" Chris asked.
B found himself about to say something which shocked Sara and everyone else but Chris did not want to wait and soon B was catapulted out, screaming.
"Come back for more mayhem and manipulation on Total! Drama! Revenge Of The Island!" Chris smirked evilly.
'Wait manipulation?' Sara raised an eyebrow.
"Alright contestants, you can go to dinner now." Chris said as the Toxic Rats began leaving to go to dinner. As they began going to dinner Sara couldn't help but think.
'What did Chris mean by manipulation?' Sara thought to herself.
Author's Note: And B is gone like in canon, he served his purpose well in the show so I kept his placement the same. So Sara was on the chopping block, isn't that concerning? Well I knew I couldn't let her walk by unscathed so I had her put in the bottom two to show some tension.
