"Last time on Total Drama, we enter the Jurassic age where a lot of eggs were cracked, hatched and stolen! Not to mention some are taken alive by those Jurassic predators. Almost the 4 teams made it back until a backstabber in one team put her team in the losing edge to kick out one of her rivals for good. Instead, she was the one kicked out for good. And I felt good when I kicked her out."
(It cuts to the beach where Chris is sitting on his jeep doing nothing but watching the interns clean the vehicle)
Chris: "The progress gets more dramatic as you all know, a quarter of the campers that entered the show have been booted out! So, as the remaining 60 contestants battle through, who's next on the elimination list? Find out right here. On...
"TOTAL!"
"DRAMA!"
"SUPREMACY!"
Chapter 19: Basic Military Straining
Silence. It is what Chris needs as he and Chef are working on something behind the trees. "Okay...It's finally done. Now, I need to check on our contestants first before I give you the signal." Chris whispered to Chef as he sneaked to the cabins while Chef got himself ready. Chris peeped at each cabin and after doing that, he snickered and gave Chef the signal via thumbs up.
Chef got the signal and then, an M1 Abrams Tank rumbled up through and inside, "Good morning. Children." said Chef as he pressed a button.
"DEET!"
"BLAM!"
One single cannon fire was loud enough to create a chaotic tumult. All the campers ran out of the cabin panicking.
Harold: "We're under attack!"
Shawn: "The zombie apocalypse has begun!"
Scott: "The Russians are invading USA!"
All stared at Scott for this. "What?" He asked. Then, "Is that an M1 Abrams Tank!?" Cameron exclaimed. All turned to see it. "How is Chris able to afford such heavy toy to keep on this island?" asked Gwen. "Either he and Chef stole it or bought it in which we find it laughable." said Trent.
And speaking of which, Chris showed up, "Had a great sleep everyone?"
"Nope, you ruined my beauty sleep." answered Dakota. "And I was in a middle of a fantasy dream in which I cut off your head and presented it to the devil." said Noah. "Dude. That's pretty hardcore." Chet commented. "I played Diablo 3. It was super hardcore!" said Lorenzo.
And then, "So Chris, why did you wake us up so early? Let me guess, another sufferable challenge for us to do?" asked Bridgette. "You're half correct but you know this, oh Che-ef!" Chris has made his move and Chef smiled a wicked smile as he got out of the tank and stomped his way to the campers. Plus, he's wearing his military attire. "I hosted a challenge 4 chapters ago." He began. "Oh yeah, best challenge ever!" Anne Maria cheered. All agreed when, "And today, I'm gonna host today's challenge starting now!"
All gasped at Chef's announcement. "Now, 5 minutes to freshen up! GO!" Chef ordered. "Wait, what the heck is going-"
"4 MINUTES AND 55 SECONDS!" Chef boomed interrupting Mike's speech as all dashed off quickly.
Confessional...
*Static*
Duncan: "This seems familiar. I piss Chef off a few times before. I wonder what will happen if I do it again even more?"
*Static*
Noah: "OMG! OMG! I AM GOING TO DIE IN THIS CHALLENGE!"
*Static*
End Confessional...
By the time all the campers freshen up, Chef appeared to be unhappy. "You are all 2 seconds over the time I gave you." he stated with disappointment. "DROP DOWN TO 50!" He boomed. "You're making us do 50 push ups? That's insane!" Jacques complained. "No way, it's wicked!" Brick and Ryan cheered as they got into position. The others groaned as they too got into position.
Once all are ready, Chef blew the whistle and all started doing push ups together as they counted down the number of push ups they did together. The girls did an excellent job because their push ups are easier than the boys and Owen being the obese type can't push himself down and up to do the push up but Chef never noticed since he's watching the boys all the way. "Eh? They didn't even break a sweat yo!" Ezekiel complained referring to the girls as the campers already are halfway through when, "I...I...can't...can't...AAAAAAAHHH!" Noah screamed and fell unconscious. "Scrawny kid, you're out!" Chef picked Noah up and threw him into the sea. "Noah!" Emma exclaimed. "Ouch...I hope he lives..." said Alejandro quietly. "But if he passes away, well, who cares about him?" He thought as another groan took place and beside him, Dave collapsed and Chef threw him into the sea and already, "For a kid like me...my limits aren't great..." Junior groaned and therefore, "Alright small fry, you're out but you can go aside.
Confessional...
*Static*
Dave: (Dripping wet) "That was worth it, I got stained during the 5 minute freshening up. Glad I got booted out for this."
*Static*
Junior: "I thought Chef is not nice like in all the seasons I've watched."
*Static*
End Confessional...
By the time the campers finished the 50 push ups, "I wonder what happened to Noah and Dave?" Sky wondered when they showed up dripping wet. Noticing them, Chef picked them up and threw them onto the ground separating both of them. Then, he took out a controller and pressed 2 buttons and cage bars rose up trapping them. Since Junior is only kid, he just watched the others compete. "So unfair..." Jacques complained. "Tell me about it." Tyler agreed as, "This, is what happens if you imbeciles tire out in all the training I'm giving you! Last person standing and surviving all the merciless gruelling guerrilla training wins immunity for the team and the first team in which all members failed to endure the training will send home one worthless weakling out!" Chef announced via megaphone. "So be prepared! This, is survival to the strongest and toughest!"
Confessional...
*Static*
Eva: "And that's gonna be me!"
*Static*
MacArthur: "My kind of challenge! And soon enough, nailed it! I wish Jo was here to compete with me. Too bad she was too competitive with that overachiever jock from the Wolves."
*Static*
Brick: "A perfect and worthy challenge for me to take! As a cadet, I have a lot of experience in both physical and military training!" (He stood up straight to salute but banged his head onto the ceiling) "OW! I guess I've grown a bit taller than before..."
*Static*
Stephanie: "I can definitely do this! Gym workout with Ryan will help me out and endure longer!"
*Static*
Ryan: "With my biceps and immense strength, I can dominate this challenge and win for the entire team and for Steph!" (He stood up to flex his muscles but broke through the ceiling with his head) "Uh...can someone help me? I think I'm stuck and can't move!" (He struggled to get out of this mess but ended up breaking the confessional off the ground and walked off with his head stuck around the ceiling of it)
*Static*
Sanders: (Looking around to see the entire place missing) "I think I'll just leave and wait."
*Static*
End Confessional...
After the push ups is sit ups. Chef paired the contestants as one lies down and the other supports the other with knees on the feet. The Wolves and Tortoises went first as Chef blew the whistle and all started doing sit-ups. "ONE MINUTE TO DO 50! BEAT IT, GOOD! BUT NEVER BEAT IT, AGAIN TILL YA GET THE NUMBER!" Chef boomed through the loudhailer as the campers worked out fast. "Why is he so cruel?" asked Lindsay as she supported Carrie. "Don't ask...me! I need...to...focus!" Beside them, "Done!" Josee stood up with a proud smile as Kitty who was supporting her stood up. "I can't believe you asked me to rig your sit ups by fake counting." She whispered. "Hmpf! At least you won't have to use much energy to complete the exercise." She whispered back. "Look to our right."
Kitty looked to her right to see Jacques doing his sit ups as Trent supported him. "25...26..." Trent counted quietly. "Now...make...it...48." Jacques ordered as he struggled. "Okay...48...49...50!"
"DONE!" Jacques stood up tired but has done it in an unconditional matter. "Will he find out?" Trent whispered. "Nonsense. He won't because he's very stupid." Jacques whispered back when, "EXCUSE ME!?" Chef boomed right in front of them as they freaked out. "What are you 2 talking about?"
"Uh...tanks?" Trent answered. Chef stared at them for a moment...
...
...
...
...
...
"Fine whatever. Shut up and wait." Chef went to yell at some more campers as, "I told you so." said Josee to Kitty as she looked guilty.
The good news is, the campers assigned to do sit ups beat the system. Now, their supporters will do the exercise while their partners can rest by supporting them. "So...you're going to keep your word right?" Kitty asked Josee. "You already did your part for me. Now, I do mine on you." Josee replied. "Okay...just keep your word." said Kitty.
Confessional...
*Static*
Josee: "Keep my word? What a fool! But...I'll let it be...for now..."
*Static*
End Confessional...
Back at the training, "I...I...can't..." Scott was breathing heavily as Duncan supported him. "30 SECONDS LEFT!" Chef boomed. "Dude. You only did 15. You're gonna bring more pain in our team!" Duncan exclaimed. "Unless..."
"If you...have...a plan...do it!" Scott breathed heavily as, "Okay, where was I? Oh yeah, 45, 46, 47...3 more dude! 48...49...last one!"
"5 SECONDS LEFT!"
"Chef's timing is too quick..." Duncan thought as, "Done!" Scott lay on the ground exhausted. Chef looked around. He then saw a tired Owen breathing heavily. "Aw come on dude! You only did 5 sit ups?" asked Geoff. "I'm...I'm too big to...reach...my...knees!" Owen exclaimed tiredly.
Soon enough, Owen found himself in a cage. "Can I have something to eat?"
Ignoring him, Chef ordered. "Alright! Drink up and get your butts here in 10 minutes! If one of you does not, 50 JUMPING JACKS for all of you!"
So the exhausted campers went to drink up. Fortunately, an intern brought in a box full of mineral water in bottles. Heather took 2 bottles and started chugging them down at the same time. Josee took several bottles and tossed them to those who are in her alliance. And Brody and MacArthur took 2 bottles each and wet their faces washing off the sweat and perspiration.
As 10 minutes is almost over, all the campers hurried back to meet Chef. "YOU'LL GOT 5 SECONDS LEFT!" Chef boomed. All stopped resting and got into position standing together like a company of recruits. Chef did a headcount and, "We have one missing soldier in this entire regiment..."
All gasped as they heard a flush and then, Rock came out. "Oh...so much liquid..." He then noticed that all are at staring at him. "Oh crap."
Soon enough, "BEGIN!" Chef boomed. All began doing jumping jacks in which only the boys are doing it. After 10 of them, Max passed out and Dawn, Dakota and Lindsay just threw in the towel. After 20 jumping jacks, Spud collapsed followed by Ellody and Mary as they just quit the challenge. After 30, Ezekiel, Taylor and Heather stopped to catch their breath. And after 40 of that, Cody, Harold and Leshawna fainted. The rest did 50 but it tired most of them.
After that, Chef got to work as he dumped those who did not complete the exercises into the cages and after that, "Now, you'll run around the island 5 times!"
"5 times? But my shoes will wear out!" Emma complained. "I so agree. I don't want to ruin my footwear!" Kitty complained with her sister. "There's no way I'm gonna rip my shoes from running!" Anne Maria protested. As many girls complained about shoes and footwear, Chef was fuming until, "Fine! 3 times then! Happy?" Satisfied they are.
At the starting point, "You'll got 2 hours to finish 3 rounds around the island! GO!" Chef drew out his handgun and fired the air. The bullet hit a seagull and it fell and landed on Chris who was standing beside him. "Seriously Chef..." He groaned. "My bad." Chef apologized.
As for the campers, they began the run. The athletic ones sprinted ahead while the inactive ones just did fast jogging.
Confessional...
*Static*
Chef: "The real training begins right after this. All those crude exercises are only the warm ups. Though they may have been a bit off point...And I could have sworn I asked the interns to rebuild the shelter..."
*Static*
End Confessional...
2 hours later...
Chris and Chef waited and waited. "Why those puny, lazy buffoons! Are they slacking off or what?" Chef growled when they finally showed up but it appears all of them even the athletic ones were all tired out so much they collapsed onto each right in front of the duo piling up. "WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS?!"
"Chef...3 rounds...around the...island...was..." Alejandro then passed out and others like Taylor, Sammy, Beth, Anne Maria and several others . "Okay...well, first part of the challenge is over and don't worry because for this run, no one's out yet. Now get yourself boosted for the next part." Chris announced. "So...is lunch being served?" Owen called out from the cage. "Yes. There is lunch. Chef, free those who got booted out of the challenge and once they're stuffed, lock them back in." Chris ordered. Chef nodded as he got the remote ready.
In the Dining Hall...
"This, is not my type of lunch..." said Ryan feeling uneasy as Chef dumped a pile of meaty slop on his tray. After him, Eva went next. "Ugh! How does he cook this trash?" She thought while being served. After her, Owen. "Wait a second...didn't I served ya just now?" Chef asked him. "Uh...nope." Owen lied. But aware of this, Chef took out an M16 assault rifle and Owen ducked as Chef opened fired in a berserk manner. All dodged the hail of bullets that destroyed the door.
Confessional...
*Static*
Shawn: (Huddling and trembling) "It's a shootout! A crazed shootout!" (He took a deep breath and spoke normally) "Unless you're a zombie that just entered the building and then, BAM!"
*Static*
End Confessional...
During the lunch break, the villain alliance gathered together. "I need you all to help me identify all those who are athletic." Josee began. "For what?" asked Heather. "Just do it." Josee ordered. "Okay...so far, Lightning and Jo were booted. So the only athletic ones are currently, Brick, Ryan, Sky, Tyler, Sanders and MacArthur." Heather explained. "In addition, Shawn and Jasmine are pretty agile." Josee did some thinking as she dismissed all the members except for Duncan and Scott. "Out of the athletic ones, I assumed a conclusion that Brick or Ryan may easily beat all the challenges Chef will throw at us."
"Hmmm...I booted many of the amateur losers in season 4. And something tells me, I never ruined Brick." said Scott.
"And it appears we have 2 candidates in for a trap home." Josee added as they snickered to themselves. Wicked.
After lunch...
"Now we're gonna go heavy with these!" Chef pointed at a pile of large tires and the interns are struggling to get them in place lining them in a row. "Each team sends one person to move those tires to the finish line! Move it!" Chef shouted and blew his whistle.
So 4 people from their respective teams grabbed a tire and rolled it from start to the finish line. For some reason, nobody for once bailed out as all were able to easily complete the challenge.
After that, "Next part of the fun...are these!" Chef pointed at 4 lifeboats with lots and lots of rocks on top. "All of you will lift them all together for 30 minutes! Nobody move a muscle during the exercise. NOT EVEN TO USE THE BATHROOM!"
Confessional...
*Static*
Brody: "That can't be real or right!"
*Static*
End Confessional...
Everybody in all the teams gathered around the lifeboats to lift them up. Once Chef blew the whistle, "HEAVE!" Ryan helped his entire team do the lifting. The rest struggled through as after 5 minutes, Kitty stopped to use her phone and is now in the cage using it with those booted out of the challenge. After 10 minutes, Rock had cramps on his arms and is out followed by Sammy who was feeling too tired. After 15 minutes, no one fell out until Emma and Anne Maria had cramps. After 20 minutes, Trent tired out. After 25 minutes, Geoff and Brody slumped on the ground and fell asleep even in their respective cages and finally, "Time's up! NOW MOVE TO THE NEXT CHALLENGE!" Chef boomed out loud as all dropped the lifeboats and ran to him.
It now cuts to the contestants and Chef in some, "Who would have guessed that we'll be in the gym!" Stephanie exclaimed as all looked around to see the various gym equipment. "I'll randomly test each of you on ya fitness! Should be easy for some of you and others will probably die." All cringed. "Just kidding."
So Chef got to work as he randomly pointed at campers to test them. He first pointed at Josee as he had her run on a treadmill at high speed. She was doing fine but smiling at the camera is too distractive. "FWIP! KSH!" That's the sound of 'someone' slipping on the treadmill, falling on it and sent flying backwards out of the gym. MacArthur burst out laughing and Sanders ended up joining her.
Confessional...
*Static*
MacArthur: "I wanna see it again! And if it really happens, I'm gonna record it and post it online! Also, good thing they rebuilt the shelter."
*Static*
End Confessional...
Gym workouts really is gruelling as Chef made the remaining contestants do lots of heavy lifting like lifting dumbells and bench pressing for the boys and pull-ups and treadmill runs for the girls. A lot easily threw in the towel like Mike who tried to lift some more loads but broke the machine, Shawn struggled with bench pressing and is out as a result and Stephanie broke a treadmill machine because she stepped on the conveyor belt too hard and by the time it's over, the only contestants still standing fit and strong are Alejandro, Justin, Duncan, MacArthur, Tyler, Eva, Brick and Ryan.
After that, "Now we shall race dirty and heavy!" He pointed at 4 metal plates holding 4 monster truck tires stacked up neatly and there are ropes tied onto the platform.
Confessional...
*Static*
Ryan: "You know what I want for my upcoming birthday? A monster truck! YEAH!
*Static*
Brick: "Ah yes, the navy always do this kind of training. No big deal for me!"
*Static*
Duncan: "Yeah being in that prison facility was worth it. Bench pressing for at least 2 hours buffed me at least."
*Static*
End Confessional...
"You are all that is left and thus, I expect you all to push yourself to the limits and give it your all! Even better, this is the final exercise for the day and it will involve teamwork in your respective teams! Winning team wins big and losing team loses big!" Chef announced. All are finally relieved. "You got 10 minutes to plan how you can complete the final exercise and you can grab a snack or drink during that. NOW MOVE IT OR LOSE IT YOU BUSTAS!"
It cuts to Alejandro and Justin as, "This is not good. I may have abs and muscles but dragging 4 tires is impossble!" Justin told the latino. "Calm down my friend, the good thing is, we just drag the plate at a slow pace. There is no time limit and the strong ones will probably be competitive with each other and paranoid in not wanting to get eliminated." Alejandro explained. "Yeah...this can be our advantage! We don't even need to use so much energy!" Justin exclaimed. "Exactly amigo." Alejandro replied as they fist bump.
While this was going on, "Listen to me criminal, we pull together as hard and fast as we can and if you don't put in effort, I'm throwing you in prison!" MacArthur told Duncan. "Whatever, crossing the finish line doesn't matter to me, what matters is how the teams will do it? Which of them will compete with fiery eyes and determination until they exhaust themselves." He replied with a stoic behaviour. "Try not to question my authority criminal." She warned him. "Will you stop calling me that? We're in a reality show not a police station." He groaned in annoyance.
And then, "Tyler, you pull, I push." Eva told him. "You sure? You may strain your back." He replied. "Yes but also, you may clumsily mess up so easy for you to be at the front to do the pulling." Eva replied strictly. "Okay. I'll follow your plan." He replied surprising her.
Finally, "We're so gonna nail this!" Ryan cheered. "Agreed! With your muscle and my tactics, we'll secure our team's win! 3 in a row!" Brick exclaimed as they fist bump. But unknown to them, someone is spying on them and was able to hatch a plan to sabotage them. Right now, Ryan left to do something and 2 minutes later, he returned with protein shakes for himself and for Brick. "Nice. Could use a little refreshment." Brick took his cup and they drank a bit. After that, they placed them aside and discussed the tactics not knowing that their protein shakes are...'enhanced' by the same figure spying on them just now.
10 minutes is up as, "ALRIGHT! YOU READY TO BREAK YOUR LIMITS OR CRY TO YOUR MOMMIES?!" Chef shouted through the loudhailer as the remaining contestants are ready. "ALRIGHT! GO!" He fired his handgun in the air. "BAM!"
"AHHHH!"
"THUNK!"
An injured intern fell off the watchtower nearby with a gunshot wound on his arm. "Oops." Chef noticed.
The 4 teams of 2 people started pulling and pushing depending on what they planned. Duncan was putting little effort while MacArthur pulled as fast as she can. Justin and Alejandro calmly pulled slow and steady. On the other hand, Tyler and Eva had momentum and likewise, Brick and Ryan as both teams pulled and pushed together.
"It's working! The plan is working!" Brick thought confidentally when he felt sick. "Wh-What's goin-BLEHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
All gasped as Brick clutched his stomach and puked. "Huh? Brick! Wait...why do I feel..." Ryan soon joined him as both puked sickly on the ground stunning everyone.
Now that this happened, "What the...that stuff looks like protein shakes mixed with some white powdered stuff I can't identify!" Chef examined it as Brick and Ryan groaned from the puking. "Well it's settled! Ravens disqualified!" He announced as their teammates were too shocked to hear it.
Confessional...
*Static*
Scott: "Heh! Never too old for tricks like this!" (He then unveiled a bottle of powdered milk mixed with a bit of chili and curry powder)
*Static*
End Confessional...
At the same time, "Alright! We're in the lead!" Tyler called out. "GOOD! Let's go!" Eva called out as she pushed her hardest and Tyler despite falling once got up and pulled using his fingers. This went on until, "YES!"
"The wolves finished first! The mammoths second and tortoises third!" Chef announced as, "See? We don't need to finish the race. We're safe." said Duncan as MacArthur took a breather. "Just shut up criminal..."
"Ha! Never thought we went slow and steady and yet we're safe." said Justin as he and Alejandro fist bump each other.
As for Ryan and Brick, they are still groaning as Stephanie went to check on them. "Something tells me someone ruined their performance..." She can tell as, "Okay training is over! The wolves endured the most thus winning the first prize which is a BBQ feast thanks to Eva and Tyler." Chris announced as Chef unveiled a table full of BBQ chicken, roast beef, beef briskets, Texas BBQ and baby back ribs, steak and sausages. Sides include garlic bread, coleslaw, baked beans, Cajun fries and plenty of soda and BBQ sauce that left the tortoises and mammoths too speechless.
Confessional...
*Static*
Eva: "No way...so I won for my team! Alright! I've never been so happy in my entire life!" (She then looked left and right and continued on) "But yeah, Tyler also played his part and no one must know of my happiness side! YOU GET IT!? (She then grabbed the camera with a threatening, angry and serious face)
*Static*
Tyler: "I'm becoming even more experienced in each and every challenge! And I'm gonna celebrate by looking at naked pictures of Lindsay! She sent them to me yesterday night!"
*Static*
Shawn: That BBQ feast is gonna make me cry tears of joy..."
End Confessional...
While the wolves celebrate with feasting and drinking, "The rest of the teams will have your regular meals at the dining hall and I'll see you tonight ravens." Chris told them as they looked at Ryan and Brick who are still feeling sick.
That night...
The Rocket Ravens are gathered for the elimination ceremony as Chris began. "I trust that you all placed your votes. Because only one is out and the rest is in for the rest of the competition. So-"
"WAIT!"
Brick stood up straight and walked to Chris. "I don't why and how it happened during the challenge but I feel like I've failed my team! My strategy with Ryan backfired also and I don't know how and why it happened. Therefore, permission to abort from this competition!"
All gasped from Brick's words. "WAIT!" Ryan stood up too. "It should have been me! Sure I also don't know how I messed up but maybe drinking protein shakes before the finale exercise is a bad move! Or I made a small mistake in making them that I never took notice! I should be the one to go!"
"Stand down soldier! I take full responsibility for our team's loss today for my strategy did not go as planned for unknown reasons! Therefore I fall out of this show!" Brick declared fervently. No one said anything against him so for that, "Well...it was honour to be your teammate." Ryan stated. "It was an honour to work with all of you! For I am proud of myself to come this far! Better than before!" Brick then faced his teammates and saluted them. All stood up and did the same action even Heather.
"A true soldier he is..." Chef thought and he and Chris saluted him. After that, "Well soldier, it's time for you to get extracted." Chris activated the Trapdoor of Shame and Brick fell in while still in his saluting position.
With that, the ravens left as, "And another good episode despite everything to be strenuous and straining. I wanna watch an X-rated movie now so I'll wrap it up fast and I'll see you next time on...

And yes, I was so...well I don't know why I dropped off the story for a very long time but only now when I heard Total Drama is gonna have a new season(don't know if it's true...), I feel like it drove me back to continue the story! As for the new chapter, I'll work on it and get it done asap! I hope so...(But on the bright side, this story will still be in the archives)
