AN: Welcome back. It's been a while, but I am back with another chapter. I hope you enjoy my first attempt at an original challenge for this season. Enjoy!
Chapter Two: Clues of Turmoil
"Last time on Total Drama All Stars, I brought back to Camp Wawanakwa twenty six competitors, from the original cast to the newbies. Some aren't really All Stars, but I want to avoid lawsuits," Chris's voice plays over clips of campers in the water, yelling as Owen falls from the sky, followed by Ezekiel pulling his toque over his face and Eva punching a shark, "In homage to our first ever episode, I had the campers jump off a cliff again to try and unlock the Spa Hotel. Alejandro thought he'd win after breaking free from his robotic prison… er healing unit," Clips again are shown, this time showing Harold's bellyflop and Leshawna's throwing of Heather off the cliff, again, as well as Alejandro's failed attempt at opening the door, "But through sheer luck, the loveable Owen got the right key and won it for the heroes. The good guys were safe and the villains had to say farewell to Anne Maria as she was flushed away. She, and her hairspray, will not be missed." Chris's voice continued as Owen is seen opening the door of the Spa Hotel as well as him and Brick cheering, followed by Anne Maria getting flushed in the Flush of Shame.
"Who will be the next of the All Stars to face the john? Will Ezekiel actually make it far into the game? Will Fang try to maul Scott again?" Chris asked questions and a voice was heard shouting.
"Probably!" Noah snarked about the last question as he was seen in the background and suddenly he ran by the camera in front of Chris on the dock, with Scott chasing him down with a broken chair.
"That seems fun. But find out the answers you want answered, here on Total Drama All Stars!" Chris finishes as Noah is heard yelping as he runs by the camera again, this time Scott has a familiar axe, the same one Duncan had once used to kill a cockroach.
"No killing the bookworm. Death isn't allowed on reality tv according to the producers," Chris called out and shrugged as Scott kept giving chase, "Eh, they'll be fine," Chris's words are immediately followed by the theme song and introduction clips.
Dear Mom and Dad I'm doin' fine,
The camera shows four spotlights popping out of the trees, with one pushing out with toilet paper on top of it, as well as one pushing out soap along with it. The camera then zooms through the camp, past a squirrel, the confessional, the bathrooms, and the two cabins, the Spa Hotel, and the old one from the original season. Chris is seen with an ankle bracelet on his ankle as Chef takes it off as Chris holds up the million dollars as the camera dives into the shark infested waters beneaths the cliff.
You guys are on my mind.
Owen is once again seen swimming under the water, this time along with Scott, as both of them try to outswim a pursuing Fang, the mutated shark, with a terrified Cameron hanging onto the shark.
You asked me what I wanted to be
Brick is then shown helping Cameron off the shark's back and pulls him onto a raft as, also on the raft, Dawn calms the angered mutant shark as Owen and Scott are laying on the beach, out of breath.
And now I think the answer is plain to see,
The camera then pans to the woods with DJ sitting with Sasquatchanakwa, meditating peacefully, when a mist of hair spray gets into their eyes, making the two meditators run to get the spray out of their eyes, which the pans to show Anne Maria spraying her hair, which is snatched away by Eva, who crushes it with one hand.
I wanna be famous.
Lightning is seen nearby racing against Jo and as Lightning gets a small bit ahead, Jo tackles the jock. Duncan is seen laughing at the situation, to which Gwen smiles slightly as Courtney growls at her ex for laughing at all.
I wanna live close to the sun,
Harold swings by the tackled Lightning on a vine with Izzy on a vine as well as she throws a knife at Harold's vine, causing him to fall and get caught by Leshawna. Leshawna rolls her eyes as she pecks his cheek as Izzy jumps from her vine onto an unassuming Ezekiel, knocking him to the ground.
Go pack your bags, 'cause I've already won,
Justin knocks on the confessional door nearby as Lindsay pokes her head out and looks confused before reclosing the door, much to Justin's annoyance. Alejandro pats the handsome teen's back and shakes his head as Heather narrows her eyes at Alejandro nearby.
Everything to prove, nothing in my way
The camera pans to Noah reading a book at the Spa Hotel when he suddenly slams it shut and glares at a kissing Mike and Zoey, who shrug, not seeing the problem as Noah marches off. As Noah marches off, Cody pokes his head out from behind a vase as Sierra snatches him up and carries him off to unknown places.
I'll get there one day.
The camera then pans to the beach, with Courtney chasing Gwen with a baseball bat as Owen tries to stop the situation from escalating as Noah just smirks at the sight and is knocked to the ground by Sierra running with Cody in his clutches, dropping the boy, who scrambles away from his obsessed stalker.
Cause, I wanna be famous!
The Drama Machine grabs Courtney to stop her from assaulting Gwen, to which a nearby Alejandro shudders at the sight of the machine as Justin mockingly pats him on the back and Heather looks at the machine in guilt.
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na!
Lindsay is seen trying Beth's flaming baton routine, but immediately drops them to the ground as Dawn tries to instruct her and demonstrates the routine to her. Lindsay claps at the example Dawn gives as Eva walks past the two, as with DJ, Lightning and Jo, toss Anne Maria into the lake along with all her hair spray. DJ looks especially annoyed with his eyes still stinging.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
Ezekiel is seen strumming a guitar as Scott tries to play the theme song on a banjo, to a worse attempt than Ezekiel. Harold is seen beatboxing the theme as Brick plays it on a kazoo as Leshawna looks at the four 'musicians' with a deadpan expression.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
The song finishes with all contestants around the campfire, with Mike and Zoey going in for a kiss when Chris pops up behind them and smiles at the camera, making Mike and Zoey look away from Chris as Chef drags Chris back from the two campers. The campers then finish off the intro by whistling the theme.
After the theme song, Mike is seen sleeping in his bed as everyone around him in the boy's room of the Spa Hotel.
"There's a storm a coming dagnabbit," Mike's voice is clearly Chester's before he gasps and Svetlana takes over, "I'm scared, after all zese years he's going to return," Svetlana gasps as Vito starts talking, "Ayo, how are we gonna stomp this goomba?" Vito gasps and Manitoba's tone is heard, "Quiet mates; Mike's waking up." Manitoba gasps and Mike's eyes open and he looks around to see some of the other boys on the team looking at him with confusion.
"Were those his personalities?" Owen whispers to Cameron, who is furiously scribbling in a notepad.
Confessional:
"Storm, scared, he'll return, stomp, goomba. What were Mike's personalities talking about?" Cameron mutters to himself.
Confessional 2:
"Oh boy, sometimes I forget that my personalities sometimes take over when I'm sleeping. That was embarrassing to wake up to," Mike looks sheepishly but his eyes dart around in fear, "But I did hear some of what they said, and if they're right… I wish I was back home, even if Zoey wasn't with me."
End Confessional:
The camera transitions to show Justin looking in a mirror in the loser's cabin as he combs his hair as Duncan carves into a bed frame, Scott is talking to Ezekiel about farm life, with Scott slightly glancing over at Noah for his comments at the beginning of the episode, Noah is reading a book, Lightning is doing pushups and Alejandro is putting his shoes on and stretching his legs to help with their inactivity over the last couple of years as the door is slammed open by Chef and food is thrown all over the room, getting all over the male villains.
"Mmm. Good old gruel. Had this back at the farm all the time." Scott reminisced and Ezekiel sampled it and looked impressed.
"Hey when did Chef's cooking improve?" Ezekiel asked as Noah brushed the gray gunk off of his face.
"If this is an improvement, then someone change the dictionary." Noah snarked as he shook his book to get the food off of it.
"At least I can clean this off." Justin sighed in relief, thinking about his damaged image.
"Surely the women aren't treated nearly as badly." Alejandro offered when screams were heard from the girl's side of the cabin. Duncan and Noah laughed at this as Alejandro shrugged.
"I stand corrected." Alejandro smirked slightly at this as the camera cut to show Gwen, Courtney, Heather and Jo covered in gruel as Eva walked by Chef, sweating slightly as she wiped her head with a towel.
"Well you all look absolutely ready for the day." Eva cackled as she grabbed a handful of gruel from Chef's bucket and ate it without hesitation.
Confessional:
"I did not order breakfast in bed! And that was more like slop in bed!" Heather stated harshly as she pulled a piece of gruel out of her hair.
End Confessional:
The camera then showed the heroes at a long table with a large amount of food, and Owen drooling at the end of the table at the sight of the feast as the others got their food and he waited to dig in after everyone got their fill.
"Oh, oh. I want this bacon!" Izzy jumped onto the table and grabbed a ton of bacon at once and shoved them halfway into her mouth.
"Look, I'm Scott's worst fear." Izzy bit down but dropped the bacon and dropped to all fours, putting her arms into the waffle and pancakes and her legs into the pitchers of orange juice and tea and started flopping around like a fish, or shark, out of water.
"Some things don't change on this show, huh." Leshawna remarked to Harold, who had a small plate with some pancakes on it that he grabbed before Izzy destroyed them.
"Chris's declining sanity, life-threatening challenges, Owen's bowel releases and Izzy's lack of inhibitions. Seems like Total Drama to me, my beautiful goddess." Harold ended with a compliment and Leshawna smiled but also rolled her eyes.
"You forgot your romanticism." Leshawna teased and Harold did a slight bow.
"Tis no problem milady." Harold assured and Sierra popped up between them.
"You two are such a great couple. You're the only one from season one to have not gone through turmoil, unless you count when Harold distrusted you for an episode or two in Total Drama Action, but Bridgette's and Geoff's troubles are much better remembered." Sierra rambled and Leshawna's eye twitched at Sierra's lack of care towards her friends' problems.
"Can I get my food now?" Owen asked, drooling at the sight of Izzy covered in food as everyone sat down.
"Uh sure." Zoey answered unsuredly and Owen immediately rushed the food and started downing a large amount of it. Izzy cackled at this and decided to start racing Owen to see who could eat more.
"How did you guys ever get any food in previous seasons?" Mike asked Cody who shrugged as Izzy decided to randomly throw a watermelon slice, which landed in Lindsay's hair. Lindsay tilted her head and the food fell into her hands.
"Oh, I knew I forgot fruit." Lindsay ate the watermelon slice without complaint. Cody looked slightly queasy at the fact that she ate food that had her own hair in it, but shook his head and went back to eating.
"Hey has anyone seen Dawn this morning?" Brick looked around as he ducked his head to avoid Izzy throwing an orange at him.
"She told me she was going to find some fresh berries to see if the plant life is still mutated." Zoey answered as she caught a hash brown that Izzy had thrown and she put it on her plate.
"At least the butler took the drinks to the side." Cameron mentioned as suddenly water splashed onto him and as Cameron wiped his glasses, Mike gave Lindsay a confused look.
"Why'd you splash Cam with your water?" Mike questioned the blonde who just stared at her glass.
"Oh, I thought Isa wanted us to have a food fight." Lindsay honestly answered, still messing up Izzy's name, and Mike sighed as Zoey pat his back.
Confessional:
"Breakfast was definitely an event this morning." Mike pulled a banana peel and empty egg shell out of his hair.
Confessional 2:
"I hope DJ is having a better morning… but he is on Boney Island. Sorry DJ." Harold rubs his neck sheepishly as suddenly the door of the confessional slams open and a bunch of grey gruel is thrown at Harold and Duncan, Scott and Alejandro are heard laughing as high fives are exchanged.
"Even score, Doris!" Duncan called out and Harold shivered slightly at the gruel on him as he left the confessional to clean up.
End Confessional:
During Izzy's rampage and Owen's feast, Dawn is seen picking through some bushes and sighing as she put the berries back on the ground. As Dawn stands up, she notices Noah nearby, pulling some gruel out of his ear.
"Fucking Chef." Noah muttered to himself as he looked up and saw Dawn waving at him. Noah looked confused at this gesture, but returned a small wave as he approached her and saw her slight frown.
"So what's Miss Earth upset about?" Noah smirked, but then let it drop as he noticed Dawn's discomfort.
"Not all the radiation's effects have left the island. The trees and plants are still heavily affected. Why did such a horrid man have to harm this beautiful island?" Dawn questioned and Noah shrugged as more gruel fell out of his shirt.
"I don't know. The same type that let Chef throw grey slop at us when we were getting ready this morning. Now if you don't mind me, I need a shower." Noah went to walk off when the loudspeakers came on.
"All victims… campers report to the mess hall for your next challenge." Chris announced, only fixing himself as to not get into trouble.
"I hate Chris." Noah muttered to himself as he and Dawn made their way to the mess hall. As Dawn opened the door for Noah, Noah tripped over his own feet and fell into Dawn who turned around to try and catch him, knocking both of them to the floor, with Noah on top of Dawn with both of their faces inches apart.
"Nice job bookworm! When's the first date?" Duncan teased as Noah slightly blushed and gulped nervously as he stood up to see every camper looking at them. Dawn stood up and brushed herself off and went to sit by her team with no complaints as Scott, Courtney, Alejandro and Heather started pointing and laughing at Noah.
Confessional:
"Have I mentioned that I hate this show and the people on it?" Noah looks annoyed as he finally gets the last piece of gruel out of his clothes.
End Confessional:
"Ignoring Noah's attempt at romance," Chris smirked and ducked beneath a flying spoon courtesy of Noah, "Today's challenge is a throwback to season two's murder mystery movie train challenge, but this time you must work as a team to convict an opponent. There are clues scattered throughout the camp and other locations on the island, excluding my trailer. There is one killer from each team, but there is no indicator of a clue belonging to one team or the other. If both teams get it wrong, the tiebreaker will be a fight to the death! Or more legally so, point of exhaustion," Chris then looked between the two teams, "Why are you all still here? There's been a murder! Go solve it! Oh also before you go, heroes DJ is back. Dude, you gotta do more interesting stuff than just run from a bear. There's mutants and you're scared of a bear." A small clip is shown of DJ running wildly away from a bear who is seen slowing down and attacking a rabbit it was chasing instead of DJ.
"Why'd you have to bring that up?" DJ frowned and Chris evilly smiled.
"Well get going already!" Chris yelled and both teams started running out the door with only Owen staying behind and looking confused.
"Wait, we aren't getting a second breakfast?" Owen asked to make sure and Chris sighed and pointed at the door, which made Owen sigh and walk out the mess hall dejectedly.
After the teams had departed, the camera went to show the heroes all gathered around the campfire trying to decide the best course of action.
"I think the most logical course of action would be to split up into five teams of two and one team of three." Cameron suggested and Harold nodded.
"I agree. We do not know where Chris hid all of the hints and clues and we should split into teams that work well together. Anyone have any preferences without romantic reasons?" Harold asked and immediately Mike looked dejected but Brick put a hand on his back.
"I volunteer to go with Mike and Owen as the team of three. We will begin looking down at the beach." Brick offered as Owen looked up from some candy he was eating that he smuggled onto the island.
"Any objections?" Harold asked and no one spoke up as Brick saluted his teammates before running off towards the beach, with Owen picking up Mike and following behind.
"I'll go with Cam. We can check out the Spa Hotel and losers cabin." Zoey offered as she stood up next to her friend who let out a sigh of relief in not having to go with Izzy. Zoey and Cameron then walked off and Dawn stood up next.
"The aura in the air is telling me to go with Cody to check the mess hall and surrounding areas." Dawn responded and Sierra let out a screech.
"No I'll go with my Cody-kins!" Sierra screamed as Cody ducked behind a tree and Leshawna slapped Sierra in the face.
"Calm yourself girl. It's a challenge and we don't want screw ups. I'll go with Lindsay. Harold, you're with DJ and Izzy, I know you can handle Sierra's craziness." Leshawna finished and Izzy cackled as she jumped onto Izzy's back.
"To the interns' tents!" Izzy yelled and Sierra ran off with a frown as Cody let out a sigh of relief.
"Thanks Leshawna." Cody breathed out as he stepped out from behind the tree.
"Anything for my friends. Now get looking for clues. Who knows if we can even find them with how Chris barely gave any instructions besides go find clues about a murder." Leshawna shook her head at Chris's antics.
"Oh, oh! What if he hid something here?" Lindsay raised her hand to Leshawna excitedly and Leshawna cracked a smile at her friend.
"Girl, you might be right. Let's get looking." Leshawna smirked as she cracked her knuckles as she looked around the campfire ceremony area.
Confessional:
"Where to hide this clue?" Chef is seen pondering in the confessional with a small paintball gun when the door is slammed open and Izzy throws powder at Chef's face, blinding him for a moment where Sierra grabs the paintball gun away from Chef.
"That damned Izzy!" Chef grumbles to himself as he wipes his eyes.
End Confessional:
"I vote we all go together and work from one end of camp to the other." Jo suggested, pushing Heather out of her face as the villains watched those two and Courtney argue about their plan of action. All the villains watched this from the porch of the losers cabin.
"We need to split up like they surely did." Heather pointed to a nearby DJ and Harold as they walked down the docks to check to make sure there were no hidden clues there.
"Ugh! Duncan, Noah. Let's actually go investigate instead of listening to their bickering." Gwen groaned in annoyance to the only other two people she trusted and that were of sound mind as well.
"Chris said nothing was in his trailer, but what about near it?" Noah suggested and Gwen nodded her agreement and Duncan shrugged as the group of three walked off away from their arguing teammates. Scott noticed this and looked around for anyone who would help him. Lightning, Jo, Heather, and Courtney were immediately eliminated from his choices due to past experiences or their current arguing. That left the latino Alejandro, model Justin, the weightlifter Justin and the homeschool Ezekiel.
"Hey Zeke. Want to go search around with me at the cabins?" Scott asked and Ezekiel brightened and nodded as Scott and Ezekiel headed inside the cabins and slammed the door shut to try and nullify the noise slightly. Alejandro raised an eyebrow at this as Eva rolled her eyes, and with a huff she picked Justin up and walked off to check along the beach, leaving Alejandro with Lightning, Jo, Heather and Courtney, of whom three were arguing still and Lightning was kissing his biceps. Alejandro looked very annoyed at the scenario unfolding in front of him.
Confessional:
"Ay caramba. If I wish to make it to the merge, I need a functional equipo. I believe I must step up and put my foot down… literally." Alejandro stood up on his feet and exited the confessional.
End Confessional:
Alejandro whistled loudly to get the attention of his teammates, who decided to look at him and saw half of their team gone.
"Mis amigos, look around. You must stop fighting and concede to an idea, unless you wish to lose once again today. Then perhaps you will get one wish. To not be competing in Chris's challenges. That is, if you wish to not get a million dollars. Adios." Alejandro waved and walked away as Lightning shrugged and followed as the three competing girls looked between each other.
Confessional:
"As much as I hate to admit it, Alejandro is right. Our team needs to work together. And that can't happen with gothy and Duncan." Courtney snarled out in anger.
Confessional 2:
"Handsome boy makes a point. If I want to win, I need to make it to the merge with these losers who think they're better than me. Ok then, so be it." Jo glared at the camera with anger.
Confessional 3:
"Like Alejandro's one to talk about teamwork. He played everyone on Team Victory, threw away everyone on his own team, Team Chris, and then played with the emotions on my Team Amazon. That hot… I mean just a bastard is going down immediately." Heather decided and Chris cackled over the announcers.
"You mind saying the full name of Alejandro's old team?" Chris egotistically asked and Heather scoffed.
"Yeah right. That name was idiotic and insane, just like the person who named it and the person it was named after." Heather insulted as she got the last word before the confessional cut out.
End Confessional:
"Fine. Let's go search the campfire ceremony. Chris is too lazy to hide them far from the camp." Heather begrudgingly walked with her two competitors towards the campfire ceremony.
The camera then transitioned to DJ and Harold on the docks as DJ tripped over a plank and Harold raised an eyebrow.
"A loose plank? It seems to have sharpened points as well. I think we found a potential murder weapon or decoy." Harold picked up the plank and DJ shuddered for a second.
"Dude, hearing murder weapon makes me think back to the horror challenge in season one. That escaped convict was freaky." DJ shivered and Harold pat his back.
"Do not worry my friend. Leshawna had me make sure he was still in prison before we came here for everyone's sake. We are safe." Harold reassured his teammate as Owen waved nearby as they walked down the beach.
"How hard did you dudes have to look?!" Owen shouted his question as Mike tripped over a turtle on the ground. The turtle snarled but then looked at Mike's eyes and yelped and hurried off.
"Huh?" Mike was confused as he ignored the conversation that his teammates were having and went down to the water. As he looked into his reflection, he blinked and suddenly saw himself with an evil smile, glaring eyes and his hair over one eye. As Mike fell backwards in fear, he tripped over a washed up bottle, which Brick noticed and helped Mike up and picked up the bottle.
"Hey it's a name. It says Izzy.'" Brick pulled the note out and Mike tilted his head.
"Izzy? Wouldn't that be a hint for the other team? Like whoever the murder is? Shouldn't we leave it?" Owen asked smartly as Harold jumped down from the docks and DJ walked over.
"Maybe this could be the murderer the villains are looking for." Mike suggested, trying to hold back his fear of his reflection
"I should have suspected Izzy… no offense Owen." Harold admitted and Owen shrugged.
"Izzy would want it to be her." Owen assured and Mike shuddered at the thought.
"That… sounds like Izzy." DJ sighed out as Brick put the note back on the ground and covered it with sand. As the group walked off to search for more clues, Mike bent down to the note and stuffed it into his pocket.
Confessional:
"I didn't think it was a good idea to just leave it for the other team to find so they could win easier. It is a million bucks after all." Mike informed the camera as he scratched his arm nervously.
End Confessional:
"Hey punk rock, didn't you steal from the crafts and services tent before?" Noah asked as he kicked a pebble as he finished looking around Chris's trailer.
"Yeah, that was sick. But after that, Courtney turned into such a nag. I am glad I broke up with her. Her heels met my kiwis every other hour." Duncan reminisced and Gwen rolled her eyes.
"I swear you're gonna get sent to actual jail in the future." Gwen snarked and Duncan laughed.
"At least in jail I wouldn't have to deal with some of the lunatics from juvie, like Mal. Dude ruled over everyone in juvie with an iron fist. I know some guy that once spat at him that the next day, half of the bones in his body were broken." Duncan stated as he tried kicking Chris's trailer and a slip of paper fell down to the ground with a small slip of tape on it.
"A piece of paper?" Noah picked up the paper and noticed nothing was on it.
"Could be the weapon. I've seen crazy ways in movies that paper has been used to kill people." Duncan snatched the paper from Noah without asking, making Noah's eye twitch in annoyance.
"Like how in Serial Classroom, the killer slit one of the student's throat with a piece of paper and then suffocated them with it." Gwen smirked darkly as Noah shuddered slightly at the thought, but shook himself back to normal.
"Ignoring your morbid movie choices, should we bring this back as a potential weapon? I mean it's just a piece of paper." Noah asked and Gwen rolled her eyes.
"Chris has such an ego that if this paper was on his trailer and didn't matter I'd be shocked." Gwen insulted the host and Noah and Duncan nodded in agreement as they went back to where their team was earlier.
Confessional:
"Hmm… I left a slip of paper on Chris's trailer earlier but I think I forgot to actually write what I needed to tell him." Chef muttered to himself in the confessional, seemingly revealing the paper as worthless.
End Confessional.
"Why'd I even come back here?" Eva grumbled to herself as she and Justin walked closer to the cliff they had been at for the previous challenge.
"Money." Justin offered as he straightened his hair from being messed up from Eva when she dragged him off earlier.
"No shit Sherlock. Hear of sarcasm? Any ideas where a clue would be?" Eva growled out as they looked around and out of the corner of Justin's eye he spotted something out in the lake. The camera zoomed in on it and it seemed to be a bottle with a letter in it, similar to the one found by the heroes previously. Justin almost looked ready to get it when two sharks popped their heads up behind it and snarled at the two villains.
"So only two sharks. Stand back pretty boy wimp, I got this." Eva flexed her muscles as she launched into the water to beat up the sharks as Justin looked around and noticed a small canoe that seemed old, but Justin decided to try it to go after Eva.
As Justin neared, both sharks swam off in fear as Eva pumped her fist as she stayed afloat in the water.
"That's what I call a beatdown!" Eva cheered as Justin leaned out of his canoe and snatched up the bottle as Eva lifted herself up into the boat.
"What's it say?" Eva said gruffly but with a smirk, still high off of her fight with sharks.
"It says… Duncan?" Justin stated and Eva groaned.
"Great. We got one of the hero's hints. Toss it back." Eva ordered and Justin contemplated it but suddenly a lightbulb went off in his head.
"Wait, if we found theirs, what if they found ours? We could use it as a… what's the word, for a trade?" Justin tried to think but Eva grinned evilly.
"A bargaining chip. So you aren't completely dumb or useless, pretty boy." Eva finished and started rowing them back to the beach.
Confessional:
"That's probably the biggest compliment I'll ever get from Eva." Justin flashed a toothy smile at the camera.
End Confessional:
Lindsay is seen brushing her hair as she sits back down at the campfire as Leshawna brushes her hands together to get the dirt off from looking around the area.
"Girl, you gotta get your hands a bit more dirty. I know you have before." Leshawna sat down by the blonde who shrugged as she kept brushing.
"Oh yeah. Like when I called Heather a…" Lindsay was about to go off when Leshawna put a hand over her mouth.
"I'm pretty sure we all heard it the first time. Half of those words you said were from me." Leshawna reminded her and Lindsay nodded.
"Oh yeah. Oh right, my parents told me I can't do stuff like talk dirty anymore and was told I couldn't be dirty in any aspect as well. Does that mean I can't keep being Admiral Lindsay Her Hotness?" Lindsay asked and Leshawna shook her head with a smile.
"Girl don't worry about your parents too much. Just be more considerate of what you say." Leshawna tells her and Lindsay nods quickly.
"Thanks Lequisha… oh I mean Leha… err… sorry." Lindsay said with a quivering lip at forgetting her friend's name.
"No problem. You'll get it eventually." Leshawna comforted her friend as suddenly a cackle was heard nearby and Jo is seen walking up to them with an evil smile on her face.
"Ha! You two idiots do know there's a challenge, right? Now scram. We're searching here." Jo ordered harshly and Leshawna stood up from her seat next to Lindsay.
"If I can knock a tooth out of prom queen's mouth, just imagine what I'll do to you. Maybe I'll break your teeth so you can't insult my friends." Leshawna held up a fist threateningly and Lindsay gulped nervously as Heather took a step back.
"Yeah, I'm gonna go look for clues. Have fun with Leshawna." Heather walked off away from the scene.
Confessional:
"Was I scared? No. But I don't want to lose another tooth defending Jo of all people. Heck, I'd rather lose another tooth for Gwen or even Blaineley over Jo. Jo has just been pushing all of my buttons since day one." Heather glared at the camera
Confessional 2:
"Since when did queenie turn into a chicken?" Jo scoffed with her arms crossed.
End Confessional:
The camera then cuts to Chris watching Jo staring down Leshawna on one of the screens in the viewing tent.
"Ah tension. Very satisfactory," Chris sighed with a smile and proceeded to grin evilly, "I think we need some more. More tension and more drama to come, after this quick break."
The camera then cuts back to show Leshawna and Jo in staring, or more so glaring, contest. Courtney watched with boredom as Lindsay looked worried for Leshawna. After a moment of silence and no action, Chris comes on over the loudspeakers.
"Leshawna, Jo. Since neither of you will act first, the one of you to win the fight will receive one possible murder weapon upon victory. And it is one you probably would have never found." Chris announced and Jo smirked evilly at this announcement.
"Because you hid it in the abandoned mine from last season. You know the producers said that place was off limits!" Chef yelled in the background and now Jo turned her attention away from Leshawna.
"Wow McLean, did you lose yet another intern doing that? Did they get mutated like blondie did?" Jo snarked at the loudspeaker and Leshawna yelled in anger and lunged at Jo, knocking her to the ground.
"Do you not even care about the people Chris tortures?!" Leshawna slapped Jo silly as she struggled beneath the girl.
"Like it matters, I'm just here to win the million. I don't care what happens to the production crew. It's not my fault." Jo responded back and Leshawna shot back with a punch to the face.
"Oh ho, that was a nice hit Leshawna. I've got to play that on repeat about ten times." Chris laughed over the loudspeakers.
"You're next Chris!" Leshawna threatens and holds her fist up.
"Fine fine. I'll give you your reward in… ten minutes. Oh by the way, other campers, ten minutes left to look for clues. Now I need to get an intern to get that clue from the mine" Chris told himself and Courtney groaned in annoyance as she watched Jo rub her eye in pain.
Confessional:
"Great. Just fucking great! Maybe that clue was ours and Chris just screwed us out of our victory!" Courtney complained loudly.
End Confessional:
The camera then cuts to Cody and Dawn looking in the bushes outside of the mess hall as Lightning's fist flies through a wall near Cody.
"Jeez. Is he just frustrated or what?" Cody questioned as Dawn checked another bush.
"No, his aura suggests that he believes a clue is inside the wall. Alejandro seems less inclined to believe so because… Aha!" Dawn cut herself off as she picked something off the ground. It was a red shard of glass.
"Is that a clue? Jeez, I wish Chris would label stuff. I bet someone grabbed something that's not even a clue." Cody rubbed his neck as a nervous habit.
"Ay caramba!" Alejandro yells from inside the mess hall and Cody and Dawn run inside to see what is the matter. They peek their heads in the door and Dawn is tackled by Lightning as Alejandro pushed Dawn down and picks up the shard of glass in her hand.
"Thank you for the clue mis amigos… no mis enemigos." Alejandro smirked as he and Lightning ran off and Cody brushed himself off and helped Dawn up.
"Man. It stinks that Al stole the clue." Cody sighed in defeat and Dawn shook her head.
"We needn't worry about that clue, it had the aura of negativity towards us but positivity towards them. That clue is theirs, this is ours. But I am unsure of if it is the right one." Dawn picked up a broken pair of scissors from near where the glass was.
Confessional:
"Why were two clues right next to each other?" Chris asks the camera that cuts back a bit to show Chef sitting next to him.
"Confusion and fighting." Chef swiftly lied and Chris nodded with a smile.
Confessional 2:
"It was actually because I refused to hide one of those inside Fang's mouth. Don't care if that deducts from my paycheck, Chris ain't gonna pay me anyways. That dirt eating maggot already got torn to shreds once by that mutant." Chef justified, glaring at the camera.
End Confessional:
"Of course there's no clues in the cabin! They wouldn't have had time to hide them here." Scott kicked one of the loser cabin beds in frustration, causing the bed to shake.
"Hey what's this, eh?" Ezekiel picked up a pencil from the ground that had the tip broken off of it.
"Huh? Why in the world is a pencil here? No one on our team writes." Scott was confused and Ezekiel put it into his pocket.
"I think it's Noah's." Ezekiel shrugged and kept looking as the camera pans to the entrance of the Spa Hotel, where Zoey is seen with a rope, a can opener and a toothpick.
"Are you sure these are clues Cam?" Zoey asked as she exited the hotel.
"I am 89 percent sure. These items were placed in the building last night as I do not recall seeing them before going to sleep yesterday. Therefore, these items are surely at least decoys of clues." Cameron deduced and Zoey nodded as they walked away.
Confessional:
"Hopefully everyone else found some clues." Zoey said to the camera nervously.
Confessional 2:
"While Jo got the snot beaten out of her, I found something that seemed out of place. But seriously Chris, how hard would it be to just label stuff? I bet one of my teammates got something useless or that is for the hero's team." Heather held up a knife that she had found near the campfire.
End Confessional:
"Welcome back teams. I see some of you have stuff. Others seem empty handed." Chris announced and the people without stuff, namely Scott and Ezekiel, looked sheepish.
"Also, Leshawna as a prize for beating up Jo, here you go." Chris snapped his fingers and Chef rolled his eyes and handed Leshawna a pair of tweezers.
"In what world are you living in that this is a weapon you moron?" Leshawna harshly questioned and Duncan snickered.
"Oh you have clearly not seen horror movies. They can make anything a weapon." Duncan smirked and Leshawna held up the tweezers.
"You tempting me to pluck you to death?" Leshawna threatened and Duncan cackled in response.
"Now for the next part of the challenge, you must decipher what the murder weapon is and who was the murderer by examining a body we have set up… right here!" Chris announced as two fake cadavers were dropped onto the grounds in front of the teams, shocking people and making them flinch, except some villains and Izzy who just started poking the fake dead body.
"Couldn't you have warned us!?" DJ cried out and Chris just laughed.
"For you, no. I'm still a bit peeved about your illegal alliance with Chef in season two. Anyways, have fun." Chris laughed as he and Chef went to watch from a distance.
"So… what does everyone have?" Mike rubbed the back of his neck. He bent down a small bit to look at the cadaver and shivered, not noticing the piece of paper fall out of his pocket.
"A rope, a can opener, and a toothpick." Zoey put her objects on the ground next to the cadaver.
"A plank with sharp edges." DJ contributed, setting the plank of wood on top of the piece of paper with Izzy's name on it.
"One half of some scissors." Cody put down and glanced over at the villains to see Lightning handing Alejandro the red piece of glass they had taken earlier.
"A water gun!" Izzy cackled madly as she threw the water gun into the pile before she turned to Sierra looking at Cody and tackling her to the ground.
"Izzy please get off of Sierra." Leshawna told and Izzy cackled before jumping onto Leshawna's back, but not to knock her over.
"Carry me to victory!" Izzy wildly exclaimed before jumping off of Leshawna and into Owen's arms.
"Uh… do I have anything Lenna?" Lindsay turned to Leshawna who sighed and shook her head.
"We found nothing. Only thing I got was that pair of tweezers from Chris." Leshawna tossed the tweezers down into the pile.
"We had found a note incriminating one of our teammates, but we decided to leave it at the beach." Brick announced and Eva overheard this from nearby and smirked.
Confessional:
"We have their suspect, but they know ours. So I think I need to do some threatening… I mean negotiating. Definitely negotiating. With my fists." Eva punched her fist into her palm.
End Confessional:
Eva is seen glaring at Brick as her team looks over the body.
"Well it seems like the cause of death is definitely this cut to the neck. There are other clues, but a bent leg and a torn shirt give nothing besides distractions." Gwen deduced and Courtney scoffed.
"Why should we believe you? For all we know you just want us to lose, new Heather." Courtney antagonized and Heather rolled her eyes.
"Says you, miss can't catch an ostrich." Heather pointed out her hypocrisy and Courtney snarled and looked away.
"So that would leave us with the glass shard, the knife and… I believe that's it. Because Scott and Ezekiel didn't find a thing." Alejandro glared at the farmboys, of which Ezekiel looked sheepish and Scott ignored the accusation.
"It isn't our fault we couldn't get into the Spa Hotel. Stupid Chris rules." Scott complained as he kicked the dirt.
"All we found was a broken pencil on the floor. I think it was Noah's though." Ezekiel pulled the item out of his pocket and Noah examined it.
"Nope. I only use mechanical pencils when I can and I brought ten with me in case an animal ran off with them." Noah answered and Ezekiel tilted his head.
"Huh? So is the pencil a clue?" Ezekiel questioned and Gwen took it from Ezekiel hands and traced it over the cut on the fake body.
"Seems like we have our murder weapon. Good job Zeke." Gwen looked up and nodded to the boy, whose eyes widened in shock.
Confessional:
"Homeschool didn't screw up? Well time to pack up for the apocalypse." Noah snarked with a smirk on his face.
Confessional 2:
"Uh… eh? I… helped? Woo hoo!" Ezekiel cheered in excitement at not screwing up again for his team.
End Confessional:
"Now we just need the murderer. Any ideas?" Jo questioned and Eva grinned evilly.
"Well I have an idea on how to figure it out." Eva responded and focused her eyes at Brick as he was looking over the fake body.
The camera then cut over to Brick and Cameron examining the dead body.
"It seems to have mild rope burn around the arms and the neck, but there is no sign of the neck being snapped. So I think the rope is a false flag." Cameron deduced and Brick nodded.
"Look here," Brick motioned to the chest of the fake body, where there was a large cut where the heart would be.
"Anyone else find it weird that Chris used himself as the dead body?" Zoey asked, a bit freaked out by the fake dead body.
"At least you didn't have to retrieve body parts for it." DJ shuddered as suddenly he was tackled to the ground by Jo as Eva lunged at Brick.
"Where's the clue for the murderer?" Eva held up a fist at Brick who was shocked at the sudden attack.
"Oh this is getting interesting." Chris commented from the sidelines, enjoying that the villains had decided to use violence to find the killer.
"Uh, should we help?" Lindsay asked Leshawna who shook her head.
"I can fight athletes like Jo easily, but Eva's a step up from that." Leshawna answered as Eva punched the fake body, right next to Brick's head.
"I heard that you found our killer. Tell me who." Eva demanded and Brick kept quiet, refusing to let his team lose. As Brick did this, Lindsay spotted the piece of paper Mike had dropped beneath the sharp wood plank.
"Hey Isa, why does this paper have your name on it?" Lindsay asked loudly to Izzy and Eva's eyes shot to her.
"So Izzy was the murderer." Eva called out and Chris clapped loudly.
"The villains have cracked the case and have won the challenge. Izzy killed fake me with a pencil." Chris announced and Izzy cackled.
"Yes! Thank you for the idea!" Izzy thanked Chris darkly, who gulped nervously.
"Heroes, your fake me was killed by Duncan with the scissors." Chris announced and Duncan pumped his fist.
"Yeah, suck it McLean." Duncan smiled evilly and Chris again was nervous at the enthusiasm about killing him.
"Heroes I'll meet you at the campfire ceremony. Villains, your stuff will be moved to the Spa Hotel shortly." Chris notified them before he and Chef walked off, leaving behind a cheering Villains team and a worried Heroes team.
Confessional:
"How'd that piece of paper even get here? We left it on the beach. It's time to investigate!" Harold pulled out a magnifying glass and put on a detective hat, but quickly took it off and Harold's hair is seen covered with ketchup as Duncan is heard laughing in the background.
"You can suck it too, Doris!" Duncan yelled out and Harold's eyes narrowed.
End Confessional:
Mike is seen walking around in circles near the confessional as everyone else on his team was at the mess hall eating. He had excused himself so he could go and think. He had been the reason the paper was there and it had cost his team the game.
"Ah, hello Mike." Dawn greeted him as she walked up to him with two good apples, "I grabbed these before I had to leave the Spa Hotel earlier. I thought it might help you with your darkened aura of guilt."
"You know?! I mean… of course you know. Why are you even here? You should just vote me off and be done with it." Mike sighed in defeat as he bit into the apple.
"Hmm? I wish to help. It would not be good for you to go home right now. Your soul needs to be here in order to repair itself, with Zoey's help too." Dawn answered calmly and Mike looked like he wanted to tell her to leave him alone, but just kept quiet.
"Lindsay's the one who's gonna leave, right? Because of me. It's my fault." Mike blamed himself and Dawn shook her head.
"Lindsay needs to leave in order to mend her familial connections. Her time on the show has slowly degraded them and she needs to mend her bonds with those she is close with." Dawn explained and Mike closed his eyes and nodded.
"That at least makes me feel a bit better. Thanks Dawn." Mike smiled before walking off and Dawn smiled back until he left and then frowned.
"Please be careful Mike." Dawn muttered to herself before walking off, slightly nibbling into her apple.
The camera then cuts to the campfire ceremony, with the Villainous Vultures sitting in the Peanut Gallery as the Heroic Hawks sat on the usual tree stumps of seats.
"Now before I call out the losers who will stay, I need a volunteer to go to Boney Island." Chris called out and Scott was about to shout out for him, but was beaten to the punch.
"I guess I'll go." Noah stood up and Scott glared at him as Chris raised an eyebrow.
"Wow, Noah's actually doing stuff. Maybe I'll make the next episode dodgeball again just for you." Chris taunted and Noah threw a mechanical pencil at Chris and it hit on the eraser end as Noah followed Chef to the boat.
"Now that sarcasm central is gone, time for the marshmallows. Owen, DJ, Dawn, Cameron, Zoey, Harold, Leshawna, Cody, Sierra, Izzy." Chris called out and threw marshmallows, with Owen and Izzy catching theirs in their mouths.
"Mike, Brick and Lindsay. I only have two marshmallows left, and the next one goes to… Mike." Chris tossed and Mike caught it with a sigh of relief.
"Brick, Lindsay. This is the last marshmallow of the night. Whoever does not receive the marshmallow will walk the Dock of Shame and get flushed to somewhere not here," Chris explained, tension filling the air. Brick suddenly stand up.
"Just give it to her. It is all my fault." Brick tried to eliminate himself, but Chef growled.
"Sit back down cadet!" Chef barked out from next to Chris and Brick saluted before sitting back down, still very nervous.
"Any other interruptions?" Chris raised an eyebrow and Gwen snickered.
"Yeah I can give you plenty." Gwen shot back and Chris ignored her.
"Anyways the final marshmallow of the night goes to…

"Brick, you are here to stay. Lindsay this is your first elimination where it wasn't your own fault to be eliminated. Congrats." Chris sarcastically remarked and Lindsay cheered as she followed Chef to the Flush of Shame.
"Uh, wait what about my clothes?" Lindsay asked as she was already inside the toilet.
"You'll get them back… eventually." Chris clicked the button and Lindsay screamed as she was flushed away, but Chris was hit with the backsplash.
"Come on! I forgot the umbrella!" Chris ran off as the Heroes laughed at him as Chef decided to address the camera.
"While pretty boy dries off, this episode is done for! Got it viewers! Get lost already! You'll see us next time on Total Drama All Stars! So go watch some other show!" Chef yelled at the camera as he got right up into the camera's face before the camera faded to black, signalling the end of the episode.
AN: I hoped you enjoyed it. I decided to do this challenge because I wanted to go further into the murder mystery genre challenge from season two, but change it up a bit. Anyways, lets talk about the elimination, Lindsay. I knew she'd always go early and I feel good about how this went. I didn't make her go in a stupid way like she always has in canon (literally in canon both times she is eliminated at a regular ceremony, she votes for herself), except the bike challenge elimination which was well executed. I don't feel like I had much more to do with her character that wasn't done before and thus had to find out a way to eliminate her. The reasoning of Dawn's to help her heal her familial connections (that Lindsay hinted at being strained when talking to Leshawna) helped give some justification for her elimination. Anyways, this episode does show some more hints to Mike's future developments. I'd like to point out that during the challenge he did not use any of his personalities and I felt no reason to use them in this episode as I wanted to build upon Mike as a character more than just use his personalities to help him out. Anyways, as I don't want to go into spoiler territory I'll end the author's note here. Next episode will be a canon episode. So I hope you enjoyed the episode and remember... Sundae Muddy Sundae is the worst episode of Total Drama All Stars, hands down. Anyways, have a good day!
