AN: Welcome back! Episode three is finally here. I hope you all enjoy it!
Chapter Three: Evil Dread
"Last time, on Total Drama All Stars, we held a throwback to season's two murder mystery challenge. This time however, we had teams and lots more fighting. Well except Lindsay's leadership skills and handcuffing Courtney." Chris laughed slightly at the last sentence as a clip from season two is played where Justin and Beth put Courtney in handcuffs under Lindsay's orders.
"Man I could play that clip a bunch. However, I can't as I have a show to run. As I was saying, last time started off with DJ running from animals and Noah into an awkward position," Clips play of DJ on Boney Island and Noah falling on top of Dawn, "and some infighting within the Villainous Vultures and some Sierra obsessiveness." More clips play of Courtney, Jo and Heather arguing as their teammates walk off and Sierra crying out as Dawn chooses Cody as her teammate, "And once all the clues were gathered, it turned out in the Vultures' favor as Mike dropped the evidence of the murderer, but Lindsay was accidentally blamed. With guilt and tension in the air, we said goodbye to the dimwitted blonde and hello to another new challenge. Who will become the next down the drain and who won't be in the toilet water? Find out here and now on Total Drama All Stars!" Chris wrapped up the recap as clips of Lindsay finding the clue and getting flushed were played before cutting to show Chris next to the toilet to find Chef trying to unclog it.
"Uh, what are you doing?" Chris questioned as he hesitantly approached.
"Fatso decided to go to the bathroom in here last night." Chef responded as he kept trying to unclog the toilet.
"Hahaha! Thanks Owen for more torture to tonight's loser!" Chris cackled as the camera cut away to show the intro.
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
fThe 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.
The camera cut back to the Heroic Hawks outside their cabins talking excitedly as they hesitantly ate some grey slop for breakfast, courtesy of Chef Hatchet. However, two Hawks were noticeably absent, but no one had noticed yet.
The camera transitions to the docks where Mike walks in circles nervously as he talks to Dawn, who is sitting on the edge of the docks waving to the dolphins as Mike rambles nervously.
"What if Zoey hates me for it, or if Cam no longer helps me, or if Zoey breaks up with me, or Brick beats me up, or…" Mike rambled nervously, his mind still on the events of the previous challenge.
"Mike, as I told you, it shall be fine. Their auras suggest none of what you think is the worst case scenario." Dawn calmly reassured him and Mike just sat next to Dawn and sighed.
"I just feel so guilty for getting her eliminated, even if you said it was for the best." Mike admitted as he let his legs swing back and forth as they hung over the water.
"It was not your fault, just as I told you two nights ago." Dawn put a hand on his shoulder and Mike nodded.
"Yeah, but I can't help but feel that way. I just feel like if I stay here, I'll just mess up more people's lives." Mike informed and Dawn closed her eyes for a moment.
"Is it your fifth personality you are talking about?" Dawn asked, revealing new knowledge about Mike, and Mike's eyes widened in shock.
"Huh?! How'd you… oh right. To you I'm probably an open book. Look, can I just be left alone right now?" Mike asked and Dawn nodded before walking off, leaving Mike to stare out at the lake.
Confessional:
"Dawn is a good friend, don't get me wrong. But sometimes, the fact that she can just read my entire soul freaks me out." Mike hesitantly admitted as he looked down at his hands with a frown.
End Confessional:
The camera then cuts to the Spa Hotel where Eva is seen working out in the small exercise room as she yells at Justin at the same time as he runs on a treadmill.
"Up the pace pretty boy! You're the one who asked for help here so listen!" Eva shouted and Justin gulped as he turned up the speed on the treadmill to the maximum and was barely able to keep on for a minute until his legs gave out and he was sent flying off the treadmill and into the wall.
"Wimp." Eva scoffed as she set down a pair of dumbbells and started running on the treadmill, perfectly able to keep up the pace. As Justin picked himself up from the wall, he noticed Eva performing much better than him and scowled.
Confessional:
"Eva is a significant powerhouse, but she has so far gone unnoticed. She's immune to my charms and is possibly the strongest person on this island bar Izzy and Chef. She needs to go." Justin deduced and flashed a toothy grin at the camera.
End Confessional:
The camera then cuts to Alejandro and Heather sitting on the balcony watching as Chef threw the gruel food into the losers' cabin for lunch, unlike when he just delivered it earlier, as Dawn finally came back and was with a bird on her finger and was confused as to the screaming. They both shared a laugh before they straightened up.
"So, mi enemiga, why did you wish to speak to me?" Alejandro smoothly questioned and Heather rolled her eyes.
"What is your plan for this season? You haven't even brought up an alliance to anyone yet. So what are you scheming?" Heather accused and Alejandro sighed and crossed his arms.
"If that is all you wish to ask, leave." Alejandro's eyes narrowed and Heather was a bit taken aback by his tone and stared as Alejandro walked out. The camera followed Alejandro as he closed the door and ran into Duncan who was carving a skull into the wall. Alejandro rolled his eyes and just walked by as Duncan raised an eyebrow at Alejandro and decided to follow afterward.
"Ok so besides your ego, what is up with you? You seem way more down than on the plane." Duncan questioned and Alejandro took a deep breath.
"As if I need a heart to heart with a delinquent." Alejandro tensed and tried to keep walking but Duncan pulled out a knife to his throat.
"I am a delinquent, but Gwen does want me to try to be a bit more understanding of others. So either you let me understand or I give you a scar." Duncan threatened and Alejandro gulped.
"As if your girlfriend would care if anyone was kind to me. As if anyone would." Alejandro grabbed the knife by the blade and threw it hard, ignoring the bleeding grabbing the blade caused. Duncan just watched as Alejandro walked away.
Confessional:
"Last challenge dude was the one to get the three fighting bitches to actually go find clues, now he's being all moody. Something's up. But I'm not really a good one with emotions. I can read people's expressions fine but when it comes to deep stuff I'm not your guy." Duncan crossed his arms looking like he was thinking about something.
End Confessional:
Gwen is seen sitting beneath a tree scribbling in a book as Leshawna walks up to her and sits down next to her friend.
"How's it going girl?" Leshawna asked and Gwen shook her head.
"The only reason I came back was to make amends with Courtney, and yet she won't do anything but glare at me or just be hateful to me. I just wish we were back to season one." Gwen sighed and Leshawna patted her on the back.
"I feel you girl. At least back then, Chris actually had some form of likeability. Very little, but better than the toxic waste dumper." Leshawna agreed and Gwen groaned.
"Things were much better before a million dollars was added in." Gwen bemoaned and Leshawna nodded.
"Girl, I think you should just give up with Courtney. She's never listened to reason. Hell, back during the race for the million she tried to let some of the boys fall from a hot air balloon. And season two she sued her way back on the show. She doesn't deserve you." Leshawna put her thoughts out there and Gwen sighed.
"I did hurt her though. I never want to hurt people," Gwen thought for a second, "Besides Heather and Alejandro."
Leshawna laughed at this, "Ain't that the truth. But listen, if she doesn't want to talk to you, just leave her be. Either she'll come around or keep being stubborn."
"Ok. Thanks Leshawna." Gwen thanked her friend and Leshawna nodded.
"Anything for one of my gals." Leshawna assured her and Gwen nodded.
Confessional:
"At least I have Leshawna and Duncan to support me. If Courtney won't listen, then I'll just prove myself to me by winning this season. Maybe push McLean in the lake a few more times." Gwen chuckled evilly.
End Confessional:
The camera then cut away to Noah on Boney Island, looking through some bushes as he kept looking over his shoulder in fear.
"The animals here are crazy." Noah whispered to himself as he noticed something in the distance. Noah noticed it seemed manmade and went to take a look, when suddenly he heard a helicopter whirring above and a claw came down and grabbed Noah.
"Challenge time Maggot!" Chef's voice rang out from the helicopter and Noah snapped his fingers in defeat as he didn't find the immunity idol.
Chef's flying led to Noah repeatedly hitting the tops of trees until they got over top the lake and Noah sighed in relief when suddenly he was dropped onto the sand right next to his team.
"Welcome back Noah. Seems you got roughed up a bit." Chris cackled and Noah gave him the middle finger, making Gwen snicker and Duncan to nod in approval.
"Anyways, time for today's torture… err challenge!" Chris corrected with an evil grin.
Confessional:
"Wow, way to hide your intentions there. Are you sure you passed kindergarten McLean?" Noah snarked.
End Confessional:
"So what's today's challenge? Not looking like trash? Oh wait, that's just a challenge for you McLean." Jo insulted and Chris scowled.
"Anyways, before I was so rudely interrupted, today's challenge will have you digging up some buried treasure, a la last season's treasure hunt to find a buried Sam and Gwen." Chris smirked and Gwen scowled at this.
"What're we searching for this time then?" Zoey spoke up to ask and Chris smiled his toothy grin.
"You are searching for parts of a sculpture, just like Paris in season three." Chris informed and Izzy cackled.
"Is there any lasers like before? Izzy like lasers." Izzy asked with a mad smile and Chris ignored her.
"You will have to put together those sculptures on those platforms on your sides of the beach." Chris motioned to the raised platforms.
"That's not a challenge." Scott went to walk over to the platform and suddenly the sand gave out and Scott fell into a moat and jumped up screaming in pain.
"Haha, yeah I forgot to mention. Your platforms are surrounded by moats of crabs." Chris chuckled and Brick tossed a rock at their platform and their sand also gave out.
"Oh and villains, as a reward for winning last time, you get shovels to ease your digging." Chris announced and suddenly shovels were thrown at the team. Jo, Alejandro, Justin, Eva, Courtney and even Noah and Ezekiel caught them perfectly. Gwen wasn't able to react in time and Duncan quickly tackled her to the ground before the shovel could hit her.
"Thanks babe." Gwen thanked and Duncan helped her up.
"No problem. Just didn't want that pasty face ruined." Duncan smirked and Gwen punched him in the shoulder, as Courtney growled nearby.
Heather was prepared to catch her own shovel when Lightning grabbed it as it was thrown and caught his own.
"Uh, my shovel please?" Heather demanded, extending her hand out for her shovel.
"Sha-no way. If this shovel gets tired, then I'll sha-use this one." Lightning boastfully explained and Heather snatched the shovel out of his hand and hit his face with it, sending Lightning to the ground, much to the joy of Jo.
Confessional:
"Hey even though I don't get along with Heather, at least Lightning is universally disliked." Jo smirked in contentedness.
End Confessional:
As Lightning hit the ground, another shovel flew through the air and hit Scott right back into the crab moat, making him yelp in pain again as Duncan rolled his eyes and helped the farm boy out of the pit so they could get on with this.
"Uh, do we get anything?" Mike decided to ask and Chris shook his head.
"Sorry, but shovels are for winners. You all get to dig with your hands." Chris explained and Brick pat Mike on the back.
"We can do it even without shovels, soldier." Brick enthusiastically encouraged and Mike nodded as Chris held up a starting pistol.
"Three, two, one… Begin!" Chris shouted and shot the blank in the pistol, thankfully not being an actual gun.
Immediately Jo and Heather started arguing about how best to go about digging.
"We all go in lines, back and forth until we find pieces." Jo decided upon and Heather shook her head.
"No. We need to start from the center and then expand outwards." Heather argued and Courtney decided to throw in her two cents.
"How about we dig in a circular shape from the outside and then just go towards the center?" Courtney threw in.
"That's just my idea but backwards." Heather snapped at Courtney.
"Just start digging already." Justin spoke up and the girls ignored him, much to his dismay.
"Just let those three morons argue while we actually do the challenge." Eva scoffed and she and Justin went to one corner and began digging.
"Let's show those heroes who's the boss." Scott boasted and put his shovel in the sand and suddenly bees sprang out of the ground and started chasing him around.
The heroes looked up from their discussion of strategy to see this and Chris chuckled.
"Yay! Booby traps!" Izzy cheered and everyone groaned at this development.
"Anyways, are we all in agreement to dig in quadrants?" Brick asked and Harold raised a hand.
"Perhaps we pair up some of us who probably aren't as quick diggers. Such as Cody and myself." Harold suggested and Brick nodded.
"Ok then. Harold, you're with DJ, Cody you're with me, Cameron with Sierra, and Dawn you're with Owen. That will leave us with eight quadrants. Let's get to work, soldiers." Brick saluted and the team cheered as Gwen looked at them and sighed.
"If only our team could work together like them." Gwen told Duncan as they both dug near the line between the heroes and villains.
"We have Heather. What did you expect?" Duncan snarked and Gwen snorted.
"True enough." Gwen agreed as she and Duncan kept digging as they watched Ezekiel dig and get sent flying in the air by a sudden pole shooting up and Ezekiel landed in the pit of crabs, yelping in pain.
"Both of your plans suck!" Heather shouted at Jo and Courtney, who both scoffed.
"Sha-Lightning needs no plan." Lightning proclaimed before running into the water and starting to dig, making Gwen facepalm.
Confessional:
"What Lightning needs is to sha-shut up!" Gwen said in frustration.
End Confessional:
As Sierra was digging, Cameron decided to talk to her a bit.
"So Sierra, what made you decide to come back?" Cameron decided to ask as Sierra was digging with her hands and Sierra looked up for a moment.
"I came back to try to impress Cody. But… I've probably just gotten worse haven't I?" Sierra reflected and Cameron nodded.
"On our first day here I did notice you acting a bit more over the top then the end of season three." Cameron pointed out and Sierra sighed.
"I should go apologize…" Sierra lamented and Cameron shook his head.
"Focus on the challenge for now. I'm sure if you do well during this, you can make up for it." Cameron deduced and Sierra got determination in her eyes as she started digging faster, starting to bury Cameron in the sand she tossed up.
Confessional:
"Hopefully now Sierra stops obsessing over Cody. It should mean we do better today." Cameron stated as he cleaned off his glasses from sand.
End Confessional:
In Owen's quadrant, Dawn stood to the side as Owen was digging through the sand for some smell he had picked up and Dawn watched curiously as Noah was digging nearby on the other side of the divide on the sand. Dawn smiled at Noah who noticed and then blushed and went back to digging.
Confessional:
"Ok something's with that girl. I do not do blushing!" Noah crossed his arms with a scoff.
End Confessional:
"Ohhh, do you like Noah?" Owen looked up and saw what happened, especially Noah's blushing, and Dawn didn't respond and looked away silently as Noah threw a pencil at Owen, which just bounced off harmlessly.
"Noah's got a crush. Noah's got a crush." Owen teased and Noah stuck his head into the sand and then scream in pain as he pulled out and a snapping turtle was on his ear. Dawn crossed the line and soothed the turtle off of his ear.
"Hey uh, thanks." Noah awkwardly thanked and Dawn nodded.
"Of course. Nobody deserves to be hurt by the harm Chris tries to inflict upon us just because he was neglected as a child." Dawn revealed and Chris snapped his fingers and suddenly a trap activated beneath Dawn, causing a bunch of dirty laundry to explode out of the ground and covered both Dawn and Noah.
"Gotta love my own me activated traps." Chris sighed in glee.
"Well there goes the bookworm. I knew yee well. Yee were a sarcastic bitch." Duncan joked and the other villains laughed, besides Courtney and Ezekiel, who was just confused at what happened. Owen then ran to the dirty laundry to free Dawn and Noah when Noah was able to push some of the laundry up and Dawn got out and helped Noah out.
"Aww look at the lover birds. When's the wedding?" Chris taunted and Noah scowled but Dawn just gave him a peck on the cheek before going back to her side, where Owen gave her a high five and Noah stood there stunned.
"911, yes I'd like to report a broken bookworm." Jo snarked and Duncan gave her a high five as Noah looked lost in thought.
Confessional:
"What… just happened?" Noah asked, still in a bit of shock.
Confessional 2:
"I believe my decision to kiss him would be best for the both of us. His aura has changed to a mix of emotions, so I shall let him think for a while." Dawn smiled happily.
End Confessional:
Chris is seen handing money to Chef, who just smirks evilly.
"I really thought the next couple would be DJ and Dawn. Dammit." Chris shrugged in defeat as Chef smiled at the money he just made.
Confessional:
"How many bets do those two make on us?" Alejandro pondered in the confessional.
End Confessional:
Some time had passed and the teams were seen still digging, with Eva looking ready to snap her shovel in half. At least Jo, Courtney and Heather were now actually digging, giving up on their yelling contest.
"It's been an hour and both teams are tied with no points each… What is taking so long?!" Chris yelled and many contestants started protesting and complaining with Lightning throwing in, "I'm the sha-best!"
"Blah blah blah, just keep digging." Chris mocked as Heather scowled and stabbed her shovel into the sand and it seemed to hit something. Heather quickly dug it up and found a black shaped stone.
"And Heather finds the first piece!" Chris announces as Heather smirks and goes to pick it up when Jo snatches it and throws it onto the platform. Heather growls at this but doesn't complain.
Confessional:
"At least with her doing that, it saved me time from jumping onto that platform and falling into the pit… like Scott has been somehow managing to do every ten minutes." Heather chuckled evilly.
End Confessional:
Cameron is then seen looking at the pile of clothes and notices a fedora in the pile and glances over at Mike. Cameron goes to grab the hat and runs over to Mike.
"Hey Mike, would this seem like a job for Manitoba Smith?" Cameron held up the hat and Mike looked conflicted at this.
"Gosh! That's not how Dissociative Identity Disorder works! Usually one would dissociate from stress, anxiety or a trauma trigger, not just a hat. I studied last season and his alters only came out from anxiety during challenges or stress. Not just because of a hat." Harold explained and Cameron raised an eyebrow.
"So Vito only came out cause you were anxious when losing your shirt, is that right?" Cameron deduced and Mike nervously nodded.
Confessional:
"Something… like that I suppose." Mike sighed sadly
End Confessional:
The camera panned over to Brick and Cody digging and Cody digging up a white piece of their statue.
"Here, I'll get it to the platform." Brick offered and Cody handed it to him and Brick copied what Jo did and tossed the piece onto their platform.
"Copycat." Jo called out at Brick, who just rolled his eyes and ignored the attempts to get him mad.
"Uh… where's Izzy?" DJ asked in worry when suddenly out of the ground next to Zoey popped out Izzy, covered in scorch marks and with two pieces of the statue.
"There were lasers!" Izzy cackled happily and Zoey looked at her in concern.
Confessional:
"Izzy doesn't seem to be a bad person but she can be…" Zoey thought about the right word for a second, "Eccentric."
"Just call me crazy! Everyone else does." Izzy popped her head in from the ceiling, making Zoey shriek in fear.
End Confessional:
"Sha-Lightning strike!" Lightning boasted as he dug up a piece of the statue and threw it onto the platform, but he missed and it landed in the crab pit.
"Go get it sha-farm boy!" Lightning picked up Ezekiel and threw him in after the statue piece, making Ezekiel yell in pain and his team looked at him with deadpan looks.
"What?" Lightning questioned why they were looking at him.
"If you don't SHA-stop this whole idiocy play today, then consider yourself gone tonight." Courtney got right up in his and scorned Lightning, who shrank back in fear.
Confessional:
"She's scary." Lightning shivered and Duncan can be heard cackling in the background.
Confessional 2:
"Ah it is nice when she isn't after me anymore." Duncan seemed content when suddenly crabs were put into the confessional from above and Duncan yelped in pain.
"Fair enough Doris." Duncan pulled a crab off of his ear.
End Confessional:
As Mike kept digging, he noticed Scott nearby and narrowed his eyes at the farmboy as he kept inching closer to their side. Mike knew he was no good due to last season and knew from experience his scheming. Scott then thinking no one saw him, walked onto the other side and started poking with his shovel and found a statue piece. He quickly dug it up and brought it back to his side and hastily put sand over it. Mike then left his digging spot to go retrieve it.
"The statue piece please." Mike decided to first try to be calm about the situation.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Scott falsely pretended to be offended and Mike rolled his eyes as he walked onto their side and quickly picked up his team's piece from the sand and scowled at Scott.
"You may have played us all last season, but I have my eye on you." Mike warned as Scott scoffed and went to walk away from his failed scheme, when suddenly bees once more came out of the ground.
"Bees!" Scott went to swing his shovel at the bees, but in the process hit Mike in the back of the head, sending him to the ground, unconscious, dropping the piece back on their side.
"Mike!" Zoey yelled out and growled at Scott, who quickly ran off as Zoey carried Mike back to their side.
"Keep going, hawks. I'll help Zoey and Mike." Brick informed everyone and Leshawna looked reluctant to keep digging.
Confessional:
"Look, I remember season one. People who get those kinds of injuries usually leave that day. Happened with both Cody and Trent. Owen was kinda the exception though. But usually the challenge stops when the injuries happen or there is a break. I really just want to help that skinny boy out. But, if we win then he won't have to worry." Leshawna expressed her thoughts and crossed her arms.
End Confessional:
"Let me see his head." Brick told Zoey, who cautiously turned Mike over and Brick saw the bruise on the back of his head. It wasn't swelling but it was very red, thankfully not due to blood.
"Once he wakes up, make sure he doesn't go back to sleep without coming to me or Chef to check for a concussion. He should be fine when he wakes up, but it's best to stay safe." Brick explained as Mike groaned and opened his eyes.
"Ugh…" Mike groaned as he looked around warily and saw himself laying in Zoey's lap. "What happened?"
"Scott hit you in the head with a shovel." Zoey stated, glaring in the direction of Scott. Mike just shook his head, wincing slightly.
"Just… let's focus on the challenge." Mike decided and Brick saluted him.
"Getting hurt and still focusing on the challenge. What a trooper!" Brick gave a smile and Mike chuckled.
"Let's just keep going." Mike said and Zoey helped him up as Brick went to retrieve the piece Mike dropped. The camera then transitioned to Justin and Alejandro digging near each other.
"I still don't get how you're more attractive than me. Seems like all the girls just flocked to you." Justin offhandedly comments and Alejandro just keeps digging.
"It isn't a competition, mi amigo. You still have slight attractiveness, but never as much as mine." Alejandro boasted slightly and Justin raised an eyebrow.
"At least me being attractive lasted longer than one season. Nowadays, you're just seen as trash by everyone on this show." Justin smirked evilly and Alejandro scowls.
"Says the one who failed to utilize his charms correctly." Alejandro states back and Justin shrugs.
"Maybe in your eyes. But at least I made friends. I didn't try to actively fuck people over outside of the competition. I just used my charms to try to control votes and do well in challenges. You did that but took it further. You tried fucking with Bridgette, Leshawna and Harold's personal lives when you eliminated them, and you tried to use people's love lives to your advantage. At least I wouldn't snoop as low as messing with people's relationships. I may be a villain, but you are scum." Justin proceeded to push Alejandro backwards, and Alejandro activated a trap, sending him flying out into the water.
Confessional:
"I've been keeping that in ever since I knew the dude." Justin looked proud of himself.
Confessional 2:
"Justin just made an enemy worse than he's ever known." Alejandro wringed part of his shirt to get water out of it.
End Confessional:
"Hah! Take that you eel!" Noah yelled out as he saw Alejandro get back to land and Alejandro scowled.
"Hey Al! I hope you didn't get too chased by the sharks Al." Owen waved kindly and Alejandro hissed before storming back to the beach to continue digging.
As Cameron was doing an equation in the sand as he looked up at the pieces collected, he deduced due to their size and shapes that there must be seven pieces total. Cameron then looks at his quadrant and notices a deep hole, with Sierra inside. Cody looks over and whistles at the size.
"That's deep." Cody points out and Cameron nods.
"Who dug it?" DJ questions and Cameron squints as he looks down in the hole.
"Sierra! You dug a bit too deep!" Cameron shouts down there and Cody's eyes widen as he hears the ground start to shake and Sierra comes out of the ground behind them.
"What the…?!" DJ falls back in surprise and Sierra giggles.
"Izzy may have taught me how to dig like a mole in between seasons." Sierra admits and Cody looks spooked by the prospect.
Confessional:
"I do not want to know why she even wanted to learn that. Probably has to do with me." Cody shudders.
End Confessional:
"Oh yeah! I did find a piece when I was digging back up." Sierra held up the piece and threw it at the platform, but missed and hit Mike in the back of the head again, not hard enough to knock him unconscious but it still hurt.
"Oww!" Mike yelled out and Sierra looked sheepish at this as Mike tossed the piece back onto the platform, this time making it land right.
The camera then cut to Eva digging and not finding a piece just as Gwen finds one as does Duncan. Eva proceeds to snap her shovel and starts digging with her hands.
"Uh… guys?" Gwen says worriedly as sand is sent flying through the air as Eva makes her way through the entire side of the beach with unmatched speed and is throwing all the sand aside, burying her team underneath.
After a minute, Eva, panting now, holds up all the pieces of the statue and tosses them on the platform.
"Where did my fucking team go?!" Eva yells in anger and looks at the heroes, who just point at the giant pile of sand she made and Eva sighs in annoyance as she has to go slow to get everyone on her team out.
"Pick up the pace!" Leshawna yells out to her team as DJ and Zoey both manage to find pieces.
"Harold, can you help me put this together?" Cameron asks and Harold nods as DJ helps the both of them on the platform as he puts his piece on. DJ then stumbles backwards and falls into the pit of crabs, yelping in pain.
"Now get to putting it together!" Eva demands of Noah as she digs him out and throws him onto the platform as she continues to dig for the rest of the team. Noah rubs his face in annoyance.
Confessional:
"Ok, Eva's a friend, but she sometimes can be a bit… unhinged." Noah carefully worded.
End Confessional:
As Eva continued to dig the rest of the team out, Izzy jumped onto the hero's platform with the last piece.
"Thank you!" Cameron thanked as he shivered in fear at Izzy. Izzy laughed and Cameron jumped backwards a bit, accidentally knocking into the statue and making it fall into pieces again.
"Just as I was about to finish the Statue of Liberty." Harold sighs sadly as the camera cuts to Noah finishing a replica of Big Ben, just as Eva gets the rest of her team out of the sand.
"And the Villainous Vultures win! Since we're already at the beach," Chris announces as the Boat of Losers drives up, "Who is going to exile?"
After the villains finish cheering, Ezekiel decides to speak up.
"I'll go I guess." Ezekiel volunteers and Scott scowls at losing his chance again and Chef walks over and drags the homeschooled boy onto the boat to go to Boney Island.
"Heroes, I'll be seeing you at the campfire ceremony later." Chris then walked off and Cameron sighed in defeat.
Confessional:
"I am the reason we lost. I see no reason as to why I'd be staying." Cameron admitted as he hung his head low.
End Confessional:
"Mike, can we talk please?" Dawn approached Mike as he left the dining hall soon after everyone had cast their votes and Mike looked away.
"Not right now Dawn." Mike seemed thoughtful and went to walk away, but Dawn grabbed his arm.
"But it's about… the fifth." Dawn whispered and Mike's eyes widened as he rubbed the back of his head in pain.
"What's there to talk about? Nothing has happened to trigger him coming back." Mike looked away and Dawn bit the bottom of her lip.
"So… you wish to lie to me." Dawn looked upset and Mike shook his head.
"I'm not lying." Mike defended but Dawn's eyes saddened.
"I'll be here for you when you're ready… but until you wish to stop lying to me, I'll stay away." Dawn then walked off, hesitant in every step, as Mike sighed and slumped against a tree in defeat.
"He couldn't come back though… he can't…" Mike weakly claimed and looked up at the leaves sadly as his gaze suddenly sharpened and his hair fell over one of his eyes as Mike got up with a goal in mind. He started whistling as he walked by Duncan, whose eyes widened as he turned around to see Mike's hair and his eyes widened.
Confessional:
"No fucking way." Duncan's grip on his knife tightened
End Confessional:
Duncan slammed open the door of the confessional, knife in hand with determination in his eye until he bumped into Dawn.
"Sorry." Duncan weakly apologized but Dawn held up a hand as she stood up.
"Please… do not do what you are setting out to do right now. Hurting him will solve nothing right now." Dawn stated and Duncan scowled.
"How would you know what I'm about to do?" Duncan scoffs but Dawn grabs his wrist and takes the knife and stabs it into the ground.
"You seek revenge on… the malevolent one. For a reason I can not currently discern beyond that. However, to hurt him now would solve nothing." Dawn explained and Duncan scowled.
"If you know who I'm after, then you should understand why." Duncan turns to walk away again.
"If you do this, he'll hurt Gwen." Dawn added and Duncan stopped in his tracks. He seems to have not considered that yet.
"Then what should I do?" Why shouldn't I just hurt the bastard for what he's done to me and others in juvie?" Duncan asked with a glare in his eyes and Dawn met this glare with her own.
"You mentally prepare. Your aura tells me you're in a turbulent state and if he takes advantage of that, he will ruin your life." Dawn warns and Duncan decides to listen and relent.
"Fine. But if he hurts any of my friends or Gwen, I'm going after him and then you." Duncan warned her before he walked off, forgetting his knife, and Dawn picked it up and stared at it, looking at her reflection in it.
Confessional:
"Do I… have I… what do I do?" Dawn sighed and for once seemed to not know what to do in her life as she twirled the knife in her hand.
End Confessional:
The camera then transitions to the campfire ceremony, with Gwen in the Peanut Gallery trying to talk to Duncan, but he refused to talk as he stared forward.
"Hello campers. Votes have been cast and oh boy, this one is a doozy. But first, before we do any eliminating, I wanna do some reshuffling of some campers. Just because I think it'll be fun." Chris smirked and everyone looked at him nervously.
"One villain will now be a hero and a hero now a villain. So pack your bags… Noah and Sierra." Chris announced and Noah shrugged as Sierra cried out to not leave her Cody, making Cody shudder.
"Yeah, yeah I don't care. You blew up my plane and are a stalker. Besides, I want to see how Noah does around his new girlfriend." Chris taunted, to receive an eraser in the face courtesy of Noah as he scowled at the constant teasing.
"At this rate I'm going to run out of writing supplies." Noah snarked as he left the Peanut Gallery and sat in Sierra's seat as Chef had to drag Sierra away from Cody, who silently pumped his fist in happiness.
"Anyways, since he just joined the team, Noah is safe. As is DJ, Leshawna, Brick, Owen, Dawn and Cody." Chris tossed out the marshmallows and Owen caught his in his mouth.
"Now I'm going to read off each vote one by one. Just for some fun." Chris held up the votes and the remaining contestants gulped.
"One vote for Izzy," Chris held up, "one vote for Harold and another for Izzy."
Izzy didn't look nervous and neither did Harold as Zoey, Cameron and Mike both watched
"One vote for Mike. And one for Cameron too." Chris continued and Zoey looked confused as to why her name hadn't been called yet
"And… the rest are all for Zoey!" Chris announced, to the shock of Mike and Cameron and Zoey was absolutely stunned. What had she done to get eliminated?
"Seven votes! Why did seven of you vote for her?!" Mike shouted out and Zoey put a hand on his shoulder.
"It'll be alright Mike. It's a competition. Perhaps it was because I spent a lot of time just making sure you were ok. Just… win for the both of us." Zoey kissed him on the cheek as she was led over to the Flush of Shame and the rest of the team followed.
Cameron stood at Mike's side as Zoey held up a fist to the two to encourage them.
"Any final words?" Chris decided to ask and Zoey lowered her hand.
"Uh, why does it smell worse in here than the other day?" Zoey decided to question and Chris took that moment to flush her away, with Zoey yelling as her voice faded away.
"With that unexpected elimination, will Mike and Cameron make it farther than two more challenges?" Chris taunted, to Mike and Cameron's protests, "Will Ezekiel survive Boney Island? Probably not, but who knows. These questions and more will be answered in the next episode of Total Drama All Stars!"
Confessional:
"Something about this elimination stinks to me. I know Cameron and Mike wouldn't vote for Zoey, neither would Brick or Dawn to my knowledge as they're friends and she didn't mess up horribly and I know I didn't as well. But that doesn't seem to add up. That's six people, including Zoey. This reeks of… well what I did to Courtney in season one," Harold proceeded to pull out a detective hat and magnifying glass, "I'll find out the culprit of this voter fraud."
Confessional 2:
"I don't want to admit it but the only one who would benefit from Zoey leaving would be the fifth… the malevolent one… the one known as Mal." Dawn shivered in slight fear at this realization.
End Confessionals:
AN: So yeah... Mal's here! And he's already stirring stuff up. He has yet to directly speak yet though, so look forward to that in the future. But yes, Zoey has been eliminated here. The reasoning behind that will be revealed in the future but Zoey's elimination does let me give a bit more to Mike's character than just DID+Zoey. Also, I am not calling it MPD because DID (dissociate identity disorder) is the correct term. Anyways, yeah. Duncan is also going to play into this storyline too, but how he ties in will also be revealed in the future. But yeah, Zoey is gone. I kinda dislike Zoey tbh (may or may not have played into her leaving early) because she should not have made it to the finals in All Stars. Her stupidity/ignorance in canon with Mike/Mal as well as having made it to the final three just the season prior just irks me. But that's just a small reason into her leaving early. Anyways, imma stop myself from talking more before I spoil stuff. I hope y'all have a good day.
