The wind howled a mighty howl that no one had ever known before on Scrap Island as the camera eerily aimed at the bridge to the tower that was revealed when Osvaldo had invaded the island. Teddy, Valerie, and Bunny all stood at the end of the bridge closest to the hotel, staring off at the tower in wonder only to notice that, at the very top of the tower, there was a duo of people. They couldn't quite make out who the people were up there, but the camera zooming all the way up to the top of the tower revealed that it was Dana and Aaron. The co-host seemed to be a bit queasy as he stared down to the base of the tower. "M-Miss Dana…it's quite zhe far drop to zhe bottom of zhis tower. Are we so sure zhis is a good idea?"

"Uh…duh, it's a good idea? This is a whole different aspect of the apocalypse that I can at least still somewhat appreciate…the end of the world being brought upon by a dark and angry God…heh…heh…heh…" Dana snickered her slow and pained snicker before turning away from the ledge and heading to the very center of the top platform. A spiral staircase could be seen leading up to this bit. She reached her hand forward to hover it over a green orb that just seemed to be floating in the middle of the air. The orb glowed ominously, and a crooked smile formed on her face. "...I'm literally so excited for this…we need to really bring the chaos here…"

Aaron gulped his fear down while he stared over to his partner in crime. She snickered some more before looking back at him with that twisted grin of hers. "Aren't you excited?" He shook his head feverishly in response and she rolled her eyes. "Psh…whatever, you just don't get how cool this is. Anyways…last time, on Total Drama: Scrap Island…Aaron went and got himself kidnapped by some crazy, oily king guy. I mean, he probably wasn't super oily or anything, but it's funny to see Aaron blushing at the implication that an oiled-up guy swept in and took him off his feet." Dana snickered again whilst pointing at Aaron, who was indeed blushing. "So…I had to go tell the contestants to find him to save him from the crazy 'cultist.' Bunny was the fastest, and she found the entrance to the secret room first, but was unable to get in…but luckily for her, Valerie let her know all about the key to the room in my office. All the while, Caleb and Teddy were bonding over the realization that Mr. Macho Chess Boy was a fan of one of his YouTube channels. They made a plan to break into the room while distracting Valerie, which worked, but landed them in danger…until the ballsy boys unleashed a smackdown upon Osvaldo. Bunny managed to save Aaron in the commotion, and nabbed the immunity for the challenge…which landed Valerie and Caleb in the bottom two of the elimination with a tie vote. Sadly for Caleb, Valerie used her double idol before he could face off against her in the tiebreaker, and he was eliminated from the game. Only three remain, and they are about to face the true horror that is the apocalypse. Find out who our final two survivors will be in this episode of…Total Drama: Scrap Island…I guess…whatever…"

The camera suddenly flew into the sky, being struck by a massive chunk of debris and knocking it back to the ground, only to be picked up by a cute, blue and silver striped robot with one wheel that it used to move.

"Dear mom and dad, I'm doing fine," the robot pointed the camera at Theodore at a cafeteria table, pounding down energy drinks like a champ, his eyes twitching from the caffeine while Larida looked concerned for his health.

"You guys are on my mind," at a nearby table, Ronnie was arm wrestling Mitchell, winning easily and slamming him straight through the table, causing Celeste to run over and start screaming at the powerhouse.

"You asked me what I wanted to be and I think the answer's plain to see," the robot wheeled its way out of the cafeteria, showing a junkyard with Vernon scribbling something down in silence and Ivy looking over his shoulder to peek at it, until Blaster popped out of one of the garbage piles, scaring him and making his papers fly off into the sky.

"I wanna be famous!" Vernon ran after his papers, leaving Ivy behind in confusion, eventually passing by Margaret and Daniel as they were making out while surrounded by four intense looking mafia thugs, one who spotted the camera and chased after it.

"I wanna live close to the sun," the robot wheeled away from the mafia goon, passing by Zane and Bunny, the latter who was bugging the boy by holding a mic up to his face, which he tried to shove away.

"So pack your bags, cause I've already won," Fridge carried Caleb on his shoulders across from Aaron, who had Dana on his own shoulders, the two up top slapping at each other as the robot passed by.

"Everything to prove, nothing in my way, I'll get there one day," as the robot continued to roll around, it finally made its way out of the junkyard and to the remnants of Cali-Tokyo, where Buck was attempting to profess his love to Yves, who was all flustered by the gesture.

"I wanna be famous!" Nearby, atop a pile of rubble, Brittany was making fun of Valerie, who let out a sigh and pushed her off the pile and onto the ground.

"Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na," near the pile, there were some barrels of toxic waste, which inspired Mitzy, who scribbled something down on a blank sheet while Alice was absolutely appalled by the sight.

"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!" CJ was being chased by a massive and terrifying robot with six legs and two clawed arms, which then noticed the robot with the camera and chased after it, causing it to drop the camera.

"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!" The camera feed cut to the aftermath stage, showing Calvin trying to kiss Max, who, out of embarrassment, belched right in his face.

The two were soon shoved aside by Capone, who rolled his eyes at them, while Sunny, next to him, waved happily to the camera with a huge smile on her face. Maggie popped up between the two of them, an acoustic guitar around her back, hugging them both tightly and snickering while the camera panned out to show the whole cast sitting in the risers, with the little robot sitting next to Caleb, and Franchesco standing off to the side with a glare fixed on Maggie.

As the contestants kept looking on ahead at the tower before them, the wind seemed to increase in volume and force. It was getting to the point that one gust almost knocked Bunny off of her feet, but she wobbled a bit and managed to regain her balance. "Aye aye aye! It's so windy out here…if only there was some gorgeous reporter around here to tell us more about today's forecast…aha! Luckily, I always come prepared for-"

Teddy shoved Bunny aside before she could pull out her camera to start her bit, revealing that he already had a mic in his hand and was ready and raring to go. "What's up TeddyBearNation, I'm your weather reporter, Teddy Wallace, and this is nude news! If you look at these charts behind me, managing to ignore my kingly cheeks, of course-" Teddy started to strip out of his shirt, totally getting into this character before blood gushed from Valerie's nose and she stopped him from doing so. "Hey, you troll! I'm trying to do a forecast here!"

"T-Teddy Bear, not in front of everybody! I'm the only one that gets to look at your…" Valerie licked her lips with a disgusting smirk on her face. "L…luscious body…on second thought, go ahead, I'll just block the camera view." Teddy immediately made sure his clothes were all the way back on, even putting on a jacket over his shirt to obscure Valerie's perverse gaze. She sighed in disappointment and looked back over to the tower.

"Yo, survivors…you hanging in there? Barely, I hope…" Dana snickered through a megaphone that she was holding in her hand before continuing to call down to the final three. "Anyways…we've got your challenge all ripe and ready for you…that is, if you think you'll be able to handle it. You see this here tower? Yeah, the big one that I'm standing on…well, this is a tower that the people built to try and avoid the apocalypse that was going to be wrought upon them by their angry god. Heh…it's kinda rad, if you think about it…I mean, it's whatever. Going on…they managed to do that, capturing the wrath of that god in a big orb at the very top of the tower."

"They kept the apocalypse under control? What's the point in bringing us here, then? Doesn't really seem like there's much of a job left to do." Bunny rolled her eyes, not too interested in the fact that this scoop had already been solved and taken care of.

"That's the thing…in a show all about the apocalypse, or different types of apocalypses, it really doesn't do much for us to have this wrath kept under control. No no…I think it would be much better if havoc was unleashed onto the world as we know it." The three contestants went silent as a grin stretched across Dana's face, her eyes widening in madness. "That's right! You guys are going to scale this tower and set free the apocalypse! Cast the orb into the ocean, and the tower will crumble!"

"Hang on a minute, crazy emo chick, how are we supposed to get out if the tower's just gonna come crashing down when we throw the orb away? That just seems like you're trying to kill us, and I'm not quite ready to die on screen. Surely it would negatively impact my channel revenue…actually…people may wanna watch more of my old videos in memoriam. Okay, sign me up for death by crumbling tower!" Teddy rubbed his hands together with a devious smile on his face.

"Normally I would be so down to die, but I can't stand the thought of anything bad happening to you, my sweet Teddy Bear." Valerie blew a kiss to the YouTuber, which was immediately slapped away by his hand before she went to look back at Dana and shout. "Yeah, there'd better be some way for us to get down from there after the deed is done. Also, how are you even hearing us from all the way up there?"

"Plot convenience, obviously." Dana scoffed and Valerie rolled her eyes back at her. "We've got a helicopter up here that me and Aaron will be waiting in…so you guys will each be picked up before the tower comes crashing down in glorious havoc. Of course, the survivor that successfully tosses the orb into the ocean will get immunity in tonight's elimination ceremony…and automatically be granted a place in the finale of the show."

Confessional

"I need to win this challenge, man! I've just got this feeling that if Bunny wins, she'll vote me out for being friends with Caleb. And being in the finale with Valerie? Urk…you may as well just sign me up for a life of troll kisses at that point, she'll never leave me alone!" Teddy's face turned green while a thought bubble with Valerie blowing a kiss at him popped up next to his head. He slapped away the bubble and took a couple deep breaths. "Yeah…gotta win this, no matter what."

"A win guarantees us a spot in the finale, eh? Huehuehue! This Bunny is only a hop, skip, and jump away from five million carrots! Carrots meaning dollars, of course." Bunny giggled as she made another bunny pun, which was followed by the sound of chirping crickets. She blushed and looked away from the camera. "Hey, I never said I was a comedian, I'm a blogger! They don't pay me to be funny, they pay me to stretch the truth!"

"No offense to the other two that I'm competing against, but knowing them, they're just kinda gonna try to rush all the way to the end of the tower. They'll adjust poorly to the changes in pressure, and it'll knock them out long before they reach the top." Valerie smiled and leaned back in her seat. "Did somebody call for a Valerie finale? Just kidding, no one in their right mind would do that. Well, too bad, cause I'm gonna give you that finale anyways."

Confessional End

"So, now that you all know the stakes at hand…do you think you're ready to bear witness to the horror that is true apocalyptic havoc and chaos? I mean, it's beauty would probably melt your eyes, but you don't have much of a choice in the matter. Oh, do me a favor and try not to meet your undoing with all the booby traps we've got set up all along the tower…that would just be annoying." Dana sighed while the contestants rolled their eyes at her in unison. "Alright, alright…survivors…climb the tower, now!"

Dana and Aaron walked over to their helicopter and got in while the contestants started their trek across the bridge. Teddy was moving in a brisk jog, making sure to keep his breathing steady while Valerie trotted alongside him, doing the same thing more or less, just with a far better control of her breathing. She side-eyed him and a smile popped up on her face. "Heh…when did you start learning to breathe rhythmically? I've never seen you doing any cardio."

"Well, TeddyJogs is a paid subscription channel only. People wanna see me strut myself, and some even stranger people wanna buy my sweaty headbands and shirts so they can sniff them or whatever weird stuff they do." Teddy shuddered a bit as he thought about his odder fans. "Anyways, if you wouldn't mind leaving me alone, that would be a total poggers moment. You're kind of the worst person in the world, so."

"Guilty as charged." Valerie giggled, but even with Teddy starting to speed up, she didn't let him get away from her, and adjusted her pace to match him. "Someday you'll learn to accept my love, whether you want to or not. I know, it's like getting a Christmas present that you really don't want, but something inside you tells you that you should be thankful for it and smile anyways. So…I dunno, maybe just give me a kiss already or something."

"Yeah, maybe in your creepy dungeon goblin dreams!" Teddy closed his eyes and kept jogging before suddenly opening them and glaring at her. "And that doesn't mean I give you permission to dream about me, troll!"

"Permission, spermission." Teddy gagged at Valerie's gross pun while she just snickered, but the duo's attention was soon snatched up by Bunny, who hopped her way ahead of them in no time.

"Heheh, enjoy your lovers' quarrel! I'll be busy paving my way to the finale!" It didn't take long for Bunny to cross the bridge, and when she made it to the base of the tower, she stopped in complete confusion. The other two managed to catch up to her, each watching as she looked over the area. "Well, this is just silly! There's no way to get into the tower!"

"No way in? Heheh, leave this task up to the one and only break in master! I can make it into any place that seems unenterable. You guys are just gonna have to sit back here and wait for me to win." Teddy headed over to the base of the tower and placed his hands against it while closing his eyes. He felt around in this sort of zen state before his eyes shot open, wide as could be. He snapped around to glare at Valerie, who had her hand on his lower back with a smile on her face.

"Don't give me that look, baby boo…I was just massaging your back so you can break in easier." His glare fiercened and Valerie pulled her hand back from him, though she still kept smiling at him as he returned to his work.

Confessional

"I may want to get Teddy eliminated, but gosh, I really do think he's a cutie. Of course, he would never want to date me, but if I show him I'm freaky enough, he'll probably come around to the idea eventually." Valerie twiddled her thumbs and blushed hard while she glanced down at the floor. "I just want a special someone to snuggle with every now and then, that's all."

Confessional End

"Hm…mhm, mhm…yeah, this is a solid wall with no trick entrances. Well, strike that out…guess there isn't going to be any breaking into this." Teddy sighed and let himself flop against the ground, staring up at the tower in utter dismay. "The challenge has only just started, and we've already found out that there's no way for us to win. What a bummer, man."

"I wouldn't be so sure about that! Look up there!" Bunny pointed up to reveal that there was an opening further up on the outer wall. It was a solid twenty feet up, and the path that they would need to climb to reach it seemed anything but stable. "We've gotta get up there to get inside…seems easy enough." The blogger giggled to herself and rushed up to the wall. She pulled her camera off of her neck, swinging it around on its strap before latching it onto a peg that was coming out of the wall. She then pulled herself up, getting a quick eight feet up the path before the other two had even started.

"Climbing up to a hole in the wall…? How am I supposed to do that? This seems a bit loaded for me…" Valerie groaned while she looked over the path on the wall, but Teddy jolted up from the ground and cracked his knuckles as he ran right over to the climbing spot. She glanced at him, seeing that he was completely ready to go, which is when an idea came to mind. She looked at the wall and took a deep breath, soon starting to swirl her arm around in a circular motion before unleashing a mighty punch right on the wall, cracking it a great deal.

"Woah!" Bunny stumbled while she was still in the midst of scaling the path to the opening. She managed to catch her balance on a gargoyle that was attached to the side, shooting a glare down at Valerie afterwards. "Would you mind not doing that? If I fall from this height, I'm definitely gonna die! Unlike squirrels, us bunnies can die from terminal velocity!"

"Okay, I'll give her that one…you know, since me and you were both on the Squirrels." Teddy looked over at Valerie to see that she was charging another punch. When she slammed her fist against the wall, it busted straight through, opening a path to get inside. This caused the tower to shake, and no matter how hard she tried, Bunny still ended up falling from where she was climbing, landing on the ground with a thud next to her opponents, though they ignored her.

"Well…guess we won't have to worry about that climb then. Back to our regularly scheduled challenge." Valerie started jogging through the newly opened hole in the wall, with Teddy sighing and following after her. Bunny slowly got up, though clearly in a daze.

Confessional

"Urk…that fall definitely didn't feel very good…and I didn't even get any pictures of it to paint Valerie as an aggressive assaulter. Dangit, Bunny, you know you can do so much better than this!" Bunny slapped herself against the forehead.

Confessional End

When Valerie and Teddy made it inside of the tower, they noticed that there was a set of stairs spiraling up along the wall. They looked up to see a ceiling above them, though in the very center of the room, there was a rope dangling down with a hole in the floor above it. "Hm…I'm no cryptic tower expert, but it sure seems to me that this has gotta be a trap." Teddy walked up to the rope and grabbed it to tug on it a bit. "Huh…well, it seems pretty sturdy, so I guess I'm just worrying about nothing." He got ready to start his climb, only to see that Valerie was heading straight for the stairs and bypassing the rope entirely. "A troll and a dumb one at that…this is obviously the fastest way up."

"That rope there? Baby boo, if you climb up that rope you're gonna run out of energy in no time. Besides, I'm sure that the obvious quick path is just gonna lead to more booby traps and danger…or a dead end, probably. This is the only time you'll hear me say this, but I think I'll stick to the stairs. See ya later though, smooches." Valerie blew another kiss to Teddy before continuing up the staircase. Teddy slapped the kiss away, but he sat there in thought for a moment before sighing and following after her.

After the two made it past the part of the stairs that went through the ceiling, Bunny bounced into the tower, still a bit dazed from her fall before. She took a good look around the room and saw the staircase as well as the rope that was in the middle of the room. "Urk…well, stairs take forever to get up, but this rope that's conveniently placed in the middle of the room…that should be pretty easy to get to the top of."

Bunny hopped over to the rope and grabbed it with both of her hands, looking up to see the sun shining through the very top of the hole in the ceiling that the rope was coming down from. She grinned and started to climb the rope, soon disappearing from sight as she climbed all the way up into the hole. Meanwhile, the other two contestants had just made it to the next level of the tower, which they noticed had a stone spire at the very center of it. Valerie walked up to the spire, running her hand along it for a brief moment. "Yup, I was definitely right. This must be what that rope is leading to. Figures they would have something like this here to throw us off."

"Yeah, that just leaves us with the problem that there aren't anymore stairs to climb!" Teddy gestured to the room to show that he was right, and the stairs did come to an end. "They just have that window from before, the one that Bunny was trying to climb through. Getting to the top of this is really gonna take forever…but I've played Getting On Top of It with Fennett Boddy, I can handle this, easy peasy!" Teddy started to run around the room, trying to identify the next path to take while Valerie walked calmly to the open window. She took a peek outside and frowned the moment she looked up.

"Figures…they've got the stairs spiraling around the tower now, just wonderful. Only question is…how am I gonna get up there?" Valerie was looking up at a platform above her that led to the next set of stairs, which was about ten feet above where she was currently. She tapped her chin in thought before looking around at the rest of the outer wall and seeing a set of rock climbing pegs leading up to said platform. "Of course I have to…ugh…" The miserable contestant grabbed onto the pegs and started to slowly climb up the path.

Teddy was still back inside, looking all around to try and find the next path that he should take, but there seemed to be nothing going for him. "Man, I really thought that I was gonna have some better luck on this floor…talk about a cowabummer, dude!" The YouTuber sighed as he walked back to the center of the room and leaned against the spire in the center. It was then that he glanced up to see a hole in the ceiling continuing above the spire. "Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle…guess that's a nice little easter egg!"

Confessional

"Climbing to the top of that spire really shouldn't be too much of a task…I'm the tallest person still competing, so I've got height advantage when it comes to things like this." Teddy chuckled to himself as he shook his head. "Gotta feel a little bad for Bunny…I mean, she's got it the worst when it comes to height. Hopefully, for her sake, she's as good at jumping as she says she is."

Confessional End

Bunny huffed and puffed as she kept on climbing the rope, the vision of the sun seeming to get closer and closer with each foot she climbed. "Uhf…almost there…and I'll be able to win the challenge…and get to the finale…no problem whatsoever…almost…just gotta…" Her eyes twinkled as she got to the top of the rope, and she reached up to pull herself out of the hole, only for her hand to land against a painting of the sun. She blinked twice at the painting before glancing over at the camera with a miserable look on her face. "Great…it was a thread of agony…"

The rope finally snapped while Bunny was groaning to herself about this path, and she fell all the way back down to the first floor, a cloud of dust puffing up around her. It took her a minute, but she eventually got back up to her feet, whimpering and dusting herself off. "Stupid booby traps…can't believe I let myself fall for that one." She started walking towards the staircase at a bit of a slowed pace, thanks to the fall. When she made her climb up to the next floor, she saw Teddy standing on top of the spire. "Hey, you! I'm supposed to be ahead of you!"

The YouTuber glanced back at Bunny before continuing to jump up and grab onto the next floor's ledge. He started trying to pull himself up, which proved to be quite the task. Before long, Bunny was climbing to the top of the spire, and trying to grab him. She made it to the top, and jumped up to grab him, only for her to get a hold of his pants and pull them off of him. He used the opportunity to slither up to the next floor, looking back down through the hole to see her staring up at him with his pants in her hands. "Heheh, sorry, Bunny! I guess you…I think that means…hm, can't think of a good joke about pants. Whatever, see ya!"

Bunny grumbled to herself while Teddy went on ahead, whistling as he walked. It was then that Valerie finally made her way up to the next platform, right at the base of the outer staircase. She was panting a good deal, and had to take a minute to cool off. She leaned up against the wall, and Teddy strolled out through a hole in the wall to end up on the same platform as her. She looked over to him, immediately seeing that he wasn't wearing any pants. Her face flushed with bright red, as did his. "H-hey! Stop objectifying me with your perverted gaze, you troll!"

"Y-you're the one just walking out here in just your boxers. Your super sexy…uh…Teddy Bear boxers?" Valerie looked up at the boy with confusion in her eyes, though he ignored her entirely and just kept going up the stairs. She got up from where she was relaxing to follow after him. "Oh, come on! You can totally give momma some sugar at this point, all I've done is treat you like the hottie you are."

"Your sexual harrassment is noted and ignored, troll. You might wanna stop focusing on these cans and worry about the challenge!" Teddy rushed up to the top of the stairs as quickly as he could, leaving Valerie to sigh and follow after him.

Confessional

"Of course, Bunny just had to snatch my pants from me the moment I was about to run into Valerie. I can see it already, she's gonna say something gross in her next confessional. Gah…she really is just the worst…" Teddy slumped down in his seat with a defeated look on his face…still completely pantsless.

"Teddy just walked right past me in only his underwear…I got a great view of his buns…his glorious buns. I can only wish of one day playing the bongos on those babies." Valerie started to drool as she slipped into her fantasy and looked down at her hands, mimicking a few grabbing motions with them.

Confessional End

Bunny cursed to herself in Japanese while she clutched the boy's pants tightly in her hands, staring up at the hold that he had just slipped through. "No way I'll be able to make a jump like that…I'm gonna have to find another way…" She looked over at the opening in the wall, soon hopping off the spire and scurrying over it. She looked around outside to see the rock climbing pegs that Valerie had climbed to get up to the next platform. "Hm…I could waste my time climbing these…or…"

Bunny snickered as she looked down at Teddy's pants. She grabbed them by each leg before swinging them to latch them around one of the pegs. Then, she backed up a bit and ran off of the platform to swing herself up to the next, using the pants as her grappling system. When she successfully landed on the next platform she grinned and threw the boy's pants down off the side of the tower. "Looks like I can still make it to the top before the others do, heh! You two better watch out, cause Bunny is on her way!"

The blogger kept giggling to herself until she made it to the top of the staircase, stopping and skidding to a halt before flying off at the end. She was on another platform, but it didn't really seem like there was a solid way to move from there, considering there were no more stairs or holes in the wall. "Hey, what gives!?"

"Trust me, we're all in the same boat right now." Teddy spoke up from the wall that he was leaning up against, startling Bunny a little bit. She spun around to see that both he and Valerie were against the same wall, having run into the same issue as her. "No stairs, no platforms, no nothing. We looked up, and that just turned out to be nothing at all."

"Yeah…and I looked at Teddy's butt this whole time, but that didn't give any answers either. It just reassured me that I need to give it a good squeeze." Valerie looked over to try and get another look at those glorious buns, only to see that Bunny was standing in between the two of them, the buns of her hair being the only buns in sight. "Hey, Bunny, could you maybe jump off a cliff or something so I can go back to enjoying the view?"

"First of all, death threats mean nothing to me. I practically get them all the time! Second of all, you were totally onto something when you were talking about staring at Teddy's butt!" Teddy blushed and moved away from the wall to cover his rear end with his hands while Valerie just rolled her eyes, as if to say, "Yeah, obviously." "See, look what he was leaning up against!" Bunny pointed at a button that was on the wall, right where Teddy was leaning. She pushed it in, and the tower started to rumble a good deal. "Uh oh…"

The three contestants looked behind them to see that the stairs were starting to retract into the wall, one by one. Their eyes all went wide as they realized that there were fewer and fewer stairs between them and a fall to their death. "Bunny! Make it stop, push the button again or something!" Teddy slapped his hand against the button, but doing that didn't seem to help at all, as the stairs kept on retracting.

"I can't die here, I haven't gotten nearly enough awards for amazing journalism!" Bunny started to sob like a baby as she watched the stairs retract.

"And I never got Teddy to willingly kiss me!" Valerie looked over at Teddy and grinned at him, only getting a glare back from him. "Eh, it was worth a shot. Being rejected before inevitably falling to my doom…what a disappointing way to die. So poetically fitting for me."

The three watched in horror as the final step before the platform retracted into the wall, and as they winced and prepared to fall to their doom…a step suddenly burst out on the opposite side of the platform. They turned to watch as more and more steps started appearing, leading further up the tower. Teddy sighed in relief and wiped the sweat from his brow. "Heh…almost lost my cool there. Oh well…onward I go!"

The YouTuber shot off at roadrunner speeds, leaving Valerie and Bunny to eat his dust. The blogger gritted her teeth and started to hop after him while shaking her fist. "There you go again, just leaving me behind like you're allowed to be ahead of me! Get back here right now, baka!" This just left Valerie behind, though as she got up to start running after them, she realized that the wall behind her had suddenly vanished, allowing her entry back into the tower. She looked between the stairs and the new doorway before smirking and shrugging her shoulders to head inside.

Confessional

"Perfect opportunities always tend to show up when people stop paying attention to what's going on around them. Guess it pays off to take forever to do things sometimes, eh?" Valerie grinned at the camera and tapped her finger against her forehead.

Confessional End

Teddy reached the top of the stairs, huffing and puffing as he realized that the next move up from where he was currently posted was a platform that wasn't further up along the wall, but further down. It was a five foot drop, so not too bad, but it was hard to tell where to move from there. "This tower just gets worse and worse with each little bit, man. Who even built this thing, a masochist?"

"I'm sure it was just Dana or her little gremlin employees or something…she definitely just made up that story about the wrath and chaos and all that. Trust me, I know a thing or two about making things up to amp up a story." Bunny had caught up to Teddy pretty quickly, and she looked over the edge of where they were standing to see the platform that Teddy had found. "Ah! Going down!? That can't be right, why would we want to go down to reach the top!?"

"See, that's what I'm saying this just doesn't make any sense at all!" Teddy groaned and looked up to see a platform sticking out from the tower about fifty feet above where they were standing. "Urk…there's definitely no way we're gonna make it all the way up there from where we are right now. Guess we've got no choice but to jump down there…" The YouTuber looked down at the platform beneath him and hopped down to it. He stood up when he landed down there, only for Bunny to hop onto his shoulders, which caused him to wobble a little. "Hey, watch it! Are you trying to get us killed!?"

"Of course I'm not, I'm just trying to get down safely! This drop is taller than I am, even if it seems small to you, giant man!" Teddy groaned and lifted Bunny off of his shoulders, setting her down next to him while she smiled at him cheekily. She looked at the area around to see that there was a hole in the wall a little ways away, but it would require some jumping to reach it. "Hm…guess we're gonna have to jump across this gap to keep going."

"That's it? Man, this is getting easier, finally! TeddyDoesParkour used to be a big hit back in the day, so I've still got some of those tricks up my sleeves!" Teddy snickered before jumping off of the platform and seemingly running along the wall until he was safely through the new hole in the wall. He dusted himself off with a beaming grin on his face and headed inside, leaving Bunny behind on the previous platform. "Try not to get yourself stuck there too long, I'm gonna go find out how to get to the end of this thing."

"Hey, that's no fair! You're using all your fancy YouTube tricks to get through, how am I supposed to make this jump!?" Bunny called out to Teddy, but no answer came back, as the wind did somewhat obscure her voice. She groaned and studied the gap between her and the hole in the wall. "That's a pretty big gap…and an even bigger fall to the bottom. Urk…no! Bunny, you can do this! You've made it this far, no way you're gonna stop now! Just gotta make this one jump…"

Bunny took a deep breath before running towards the ledge and leaping off of it. She sailed through the air, but the wind and the pressure affected how far she was moving, and she didn't land on the floor as Teddy had. She managed to catch herself on the ledge with her hands, but with the pressure so high, it was incredibly difficult for her to hold on. She started to panic as she looked down to see how high up she was before looking back up. "T-Teddy! Remember that thing I said about velocity!? Yeah, I meant it!" Teddy didn't answer the girl, and she presumed he was far on ahead at this point. The ledge started to crack under her fingers, some rubble crumbling past her while she dangled. "TEDDY, HELP ME!"

"Huh?" Teddy suddenly perked up inside of the tower, turning back to face the gap where he could've sworn he had heard some noise. He walked back over to it and saw Bunny dangling there, the ledge she was holding onto about to crumble into dust. He gasped and got down on the ground to reach down to her, grabbing her by the arms and pulling her onto the floor before the ledge crumbled away completely. "Yo, you okay?"

Bunny hugged Teddy tightly, immediately crying into his shirt as she held onto him. He was surprised by this, never having thought her to be the kind of person that would freak out, even with a close brush with death like that. "T-this place is so dangerous…I just came here to try and get good stuff for my blog, but I've been beaten, thrown to the ground, dropped from high heights…"

"Yeah, you kinda get used to the threats of doom when you're competing in a show like this. Heck, I was only competing in one episode of the prequel season and I still almost died in a big nuclear explosion at the end." Teddy got himself up to his feet, but Bunny was still not letting go of him. "H-hey, you're okay, you don't have to cry…I bet Caleb would be snickering if he saw you like this."

Those words seemed to snap Bunny out of her trance, and the tears stopped flowing from her eyes. She let go of the YouTuber and wiped her eyes with her sleeve, glaring at him with a pouty lip. "No way am I gonna let that guy see me like this! You're right, I'm acting like a total fool! Thanks for saving me and all, but I've still gotta win this challenge so I can get to that finale!" The blogger rushed to the middle of the room they were now in, seeing some staggered pegs that led to a higher platform. These pegs were lining the wall, but they didn't seem to be incredibly secure from the looks of it.

Confessional

"Teddy can do his parkour for these pegs, and that just leaves me to hop around from peg to peg…which reminds me, where the heck did Valerie go? I haven't seen her since we all thought we were gonna fall and die." Bunny tapped at her chin in thought before shrugging her shoulders. "Eh, I guess it really doesn't matter too much."

Confessional End

Valerie whistled while she walked up a small spiral staircase that came after the platform she was on previously. On the way up, she noticed that there were a plethora of tragedy masks on the walls. "Eh…fitting decorations, considering who's taking this path. Guess Dana must've known that I'd be the only person to wait for this staircase to open." Valerie shook her head and kept pressing up the stairs, eventually clearing them and making it into a room.

The room that the miserable contestant was now dwelling in was painted a mulled out blue color that only amplified her terrible mood. She walked around and noticed more and more of those tragedy masks from before, but in her exploration, she noticed that there didn't seem to be a way out at all. "Dammit, a dead end! Ugh, I should've known that Dana was gonna do this to me…that little brat makes me so angry!"

Valerie grunted and punched the wall in front of her, causing one of the masks to flip over, showing a faux-smile. Oddly, the paint on the wall around this mask seemed to turn into a bright yellow color, and her annoyed expression switched up for a more opportunistic grin. "A puzzle to happiness…if only happiness could be this easy to achieve." The girl jumped up into the air and slammed down hard, causing the room to quake and each of the masks to flip over, just like the first one had. It didn't take too long for the whole room to turn yellow from this quake.

"...So was that it? Or is something else-" Valerie was cut off as a hole suddenly opened up in the floor beneath her and dropped her down onto a platform below. She groaned and got up, rubbing her aching toosh with her hand all the while. "I just should've kept my mouth shut. Now…let's see where we ended up." She looked around to see that there were another two holes in the wall on one side, and on the other side, there was a gap that overlooked another platform. Looking down, she noticed that Bunny and Teddy were climbing some pegs up to the platform she was on already. "Baby boo, that's where you are! I missed you!"

"Ack! Stop calling me that already, troll!" Teddy looked up and saw her peeking down at him, which caused Bunny to look over and gasp. "How'd you even get up there!? You didn't follow us to the next platform at all!"

"Guess it just pays to be patient sometimes, sorry, not sorry." Valerie shrugged her shoulders with a snide little grin on her face. "I do really wanna catch up with you, but I gotta get back to winning. It's ok, though…after I win this and win the finale I can take you on a really nice date. You can watch me gather up all my bullies and beat the spit out of them." Teddy seemed to be a bit put off by this suggestion, only getting another shrug from her. "Eh, I mean it would turn me on if I saw you doing that, but whatever. See ya!"

"Hey, get back here, you!" Bunny shook her fist at Valerie, but it was no use, as the girl was quick to leave the area and head out through one of the holes in the wall. "Ack! I've gotta catch up so I can win this challenge, I don't want her to get that guaranteed spot, that's my guaranteed spot!"

"And I just wanna get her out of my hair already!" Teddy grunted and kept climbing up more of the pegs while Bunny followed behind him, each of them closing in on the next platform up.

Confessional

"Valerie is always slithering around and finding out cheats to try and make challenges easy on herself, I say that's a load of bupkis! Bupkis, I tells ya!" Teddy crossed his arms and huffed, "She ruined my shot with Alice with that kiss, too…she's just an overall pain in my rear! …And she's obsessed with my rear for some reason!"

"Gah…Valerie being ahead of the rest of us just makes it sting worse than it being anyone else. She's the type that tends to stay losing, so when you realize that she's got one up on you it just gets annoying. Ugh!" Bunny slapped her hand against her forehead.

Confessional End

Teddy grabbed onto the next platform and pulled himself up onto it before reaching down and helping Bunny off of the last peg, considering it was a bit too high for her to reach up and just grab on her own. She got onto her feet and sighed as Teddy did the same. "Urk…I hate having to be helped to get through this. Thanks, I guess."

"Yeah, don't mention it. Where do you think she went? I see two paths here, not just one." Teddy looked between the two paths and shrugged before taking the hold on the left and heading outside. Bunny looked around at both of them and ended up following the same path that Teddy had, causing both of the holes to suddenly close up after they did. Outside of the platform, Teddy and Bunny stood, noticing that there was no way back. Not to mention the fact that there was a wall separating the path that the other hole led to from the one they took. "Huh…guess there's no going back if you made the wrong choice."

"Luckily, I never make the wrong choice! …Okay, except for the times that I do, but then I just make a bunch of right choices to fix the deficit there. Either way, this bunny knows exactly what she's doing, so following the break in slash parkour expert was definitely the way to go!" Bunny beamed as she started heading up a staircase that was spiraling along the wall from the platform that they were taking. As she got higher and higher, she felt the air pressure making her knees weak. She got about halfway up the stairs before she fell to her knees, unable to pull herself up. "W-why is it so hard to stand up here…? I'm so close to the end, I can't just fail now…!"

Teddy began to follow after Bunny, walking a bit slower than she had started at and making sure to keep his breathing calm the whole time. He could feel the pressure, just as she had, but he was able to power through it, as he reached the step she was hunched over on. He reached his hand down to her, offering to pull her up. "I don't wanna keep helping you, but I also don't want you to get hurt, so come on."

Bunny looked over at Teddy's hand and stared for a moment before slowly lifting hers and lightly slapping it away. He was a bit confused by this until she saw him smile that cocky smile of hers at him. "You just keep going…I've had more than enough help getting to this point…I'm gonna get up there and knock that orb out of the sky my own way!"

"Are you sure about that? You really don't look so good right now." Bunny just kept smiling at Teddy, and he nodded before turning to keep pressing up the stairs.

Confessional

"Bunny isn't really chill or anything, but she's…interesting, to say the least. Me and her could probably never get along well, but you've gotta respect that she doesn't wanna take anymore handouts. I just don't think she'll make it to the top of the tower while she's like that…it reminds me of one of the short movies on TeddyFilms…'The Climb.'" Teddy teared up slightly as he remembered the plot of the film. "It, uh…it was kinda heart wrenching at the end."

Confessional End

Teddy made his way to the top of the staircase to find that he was now at the very top of the tower. He saw the orb floating in the center of the platform, and even further away, he noticed that Aaron and Dana were waiting for someone to finish the challenge while waiting in their helicopter. As he continued to look around, he didn't seem to find anything or anyone else, so he made his first draining step towards the orb. The air pressure was practically trying to drag him down to the floor with how powerful it was at this point, and it felt like his legs would cave at any moment. "Agh…how am I supposed to get to that orb with conditions like these?"

"Pretty simple, baby boo, you just don't get to the orb." The YouTuber turned to see that Valerie had just reached the top of another staircase that was a bit further away from the stairs he had come up on. Her hair was a bit of a mess, and she looked to be pretty angry. "The opening I took led me into a nice little brick box, the perfect trap…at least for someone that isn't strong enough to bust their way out of it." Teddy tried to glare at her, but he just didn't have the energy to. She stomped forward onto the top of the tower, the quake from her foot shaking the area. "Just sit back and let me get this…kay?"

"N-no! After you ruined something really important for me? Fat chance of me letting you clutch this dub!" Teddy forced himself to walk another step forward, but his knees buckled and he fell down. Valerie shook her head at him and made a slow walk over to him, staring right down at him. "I just wanted to show you that you need to work on your self respect a bit, and you somehow turned into a monster from that!"

"I turned into a monster from that? Teddy bear, I'm just gonna let you in a little something. I've been a monster since I was born. Nobody liked me, not even my family. Being a monster has nothing to do with all the bad things you do…being a monster just means that you can't be accepted by anyone. All the bad things that I've done. Well…that just makes me human." Valerie's smile really struck a nerve with Teddy as he knew that she meant every word of what she said. "Well, enough with my anime villain speech, I'm gonna go win now, yeah?"

Teddy tried to reach out to grab at her ankle, but it was of no use, as she started walking ahead faster than he could grab. Granted, it still wasn't very fast, considering the air pressure, but she was inching closer and closer to the orb at this point. The YouTuber felt himself ready to give up…

…But then something started sliding across the ground. It zoomed past him, so he couldn't quite make out what it was, but it did have a vaguely familiar shape. The object kept on sliding past him, eventually landing right in front of Valerie. She glanced down at the object and picked it up, trying to get a glimpse of what it was through the wind trying to force her eyes shut. "...A camera?" She heard a slight ticking noise coming from the camera and after a few seconds, it took a picture, the flash going off right in her eyes and causing her to stumble back and drop it. "GAH!"

Teddy saw the girl stumble back a bit before turning to see Bunny was crawling across the ground in a heap of pain from the pressure beating down on her. Valerie groaned before gritting her teeth and stomping down hard on the camera, smashing it entirely to bits. Bunny saw this, and her eyes suddenly went wide and welled up with tears. She picked up her pace and managed to run over to the bits of her camera, scooping them up in her hands before they fell to the ground again. All that was going through her mind at this point was all the pictures she took with this camera, and how it was with her everywhere she went, no matter where that was. "M-my…that's my…"

Valerie kicked Bunny in the side while she mourned her camera, which sent the blogger rolling off to the side. She whimpered in pain while the aggressor rubbed her reddened eyes. "What the fuck, Bunny!? You deserved that, you could've blinded me or made me fall off the damn tower with that little stunt!" A vein popped up in Valerie's forehead, and she could feel her anger taking complete control of her, just like how it had so many times before. The orb was only feet away from her…but she completely ignored it and started storming towards Bunny. She picked her up off of the ground by her sweater and shook her up. "Seriously, what the fuck were you thinking!?"

"I…you smashed my camera…that was my camera…I…" Bunny kept repeating the same words, clearly a bit out of it from the mix of the pressure and the fact that she had just been punted across the ground. Valerie slapped her across the face, her typically milky cheek turning bright red almost immediately. Despite this, she didn't seem to have much of a reaction, as she was still fixated on the camera that had just been smashed to bits. "...My…camera…"

"Who gives a damn about the camera, I could've just died from that! How are you being so indifferent about this!? Don't you realize how bad that could've been!" Valerie shook the girl again, really trying to get the idea through her head, but it didn't seem to bother her in the slightest.

"Valerie…" The girl turned around to see Teddy in the center of the roof, holding the orb over his head. She gasped as he chucked it off of the roof and right into the ocean, as Dana had told them to. "It's over…just put her down already." Valerie had no time to respond, as the tower began to quake the second that orb splashed into the water. They each saw the helicopter there and Teddy tried to start running for it, only to stumble down to the ground again. Valerie groaned loudly and dragged Bunny along with her before running over to Teddy and scooping him off of the ground as well. With her strength, she carried them to the chopper and got in with them. This left just enough time for the chopper to take off before the tower started crashing to the ground.

"Bring on the chaos! Yes!" Dana shouted in excitement as she watched the tower come crashing down…but what she wasn't anticipating was that it crashed down on the hotel. The whole impact caused the hotel to sink into the water, drifting out of sight quickly. When the chopper landed on the ground in front of where the hotel used to be, they saw Jackson standing there, glaring at them. "E…er…sorry about that."

"You really told me to stay out of the hotel today so you could destroy it!? Ugh…you're lucky you're like a little sister to me or I would quit." Jackson scoffed while Dana blushed nervously.

Confessional

"I made it to the finale…I did it!" Teddy stared at the camera in disbelief while a smile stretched across his face. "Man…Bunny ended up getting me back for helping her earlier. It's a shame that her camera got smashed up in the process…"

"I've really gotta find a better outlet for my anger, this shit always ends up happening." Valerie sighed and looked down to the floor before suddenly punching a hole straight through the wall. "...Great…"

"My camera is gone…that was my special camera…" Bunny sniffled and stared down at her feet, which she was lightly kicking.

Confessional End

The three contestants met back at the Colosseum of Shame, with Teddy standing by the podium while Aaron and Dana stood on either side of him. Dana had a single bag of rations in her hand, which she tossed back and forth while she watched Valerie and Bunny on the benches. Bunny continued to sniffle in her despair over losing her camera, while Valerie kept quiet and listened to her music on her headphones. "Valerie…Bunny…Teddy won the challenge today, so he's been given immunity from elimination, which means that one of you is gonna be done for today. Such is the way of a final three challenge."

Dana shrugged her shoulders and walked up to the two of them, still tossing the bag of rations to and fro. "Whichever survivor drops out of the competition here will have to take a bounce of the Trampoline of Losers to leave Scrap Island forever…the last voting elimination of the season, of course. Valerie, you voted to get Bunny out here. Bunny, you voted to get Valerie out here. So, the person that Teddy voted for, and the person that'll be leaving in this episode, is none other than…"

"...Valerie, you're out of the game." Dana tossed the rations to Bunny, who loosely caught them in her despair. Valerie shrugged and got up from her seat, starting to walk towards the trampoline while side-eyeing a glaring Teddy the entire time.

"Yeah, I should've figured as much…that's just what happens when I let my anger get the best of me. I'm so close to getting that five million dollars, and then my chances are smashed right before my eyes. Well, it was a good game. Oh, uh…Bunny…sorry for beating down on you…and your camera. I kinda lose myself when I get mad…" Valerie sighed and jumped onto the trampoline, which bounced her far away from the island, leaving Bunny and Teddy as the final two competitors.

"Yep…twenty down, two left…that's just how the cookie crumbles. We'll have Bunny and Teddy facing off in the final bout of apocalyptic wonder…next time, on Total Drama: Scrap Island!" Dana cackled to herself before the episode finally closed out.
