TDNKCI: Episode 3: "She's a Terrible Sister"
Chris's Recap
"Last time...on Total Drama Nui Kaua: The Cursed Island…
Tempers flared on all teams! It. was. Aw-haw-some! Lena blew up at Daniel and the rest of her team, Natalie had the Vampires fearing for their lives, Freya continued to cause strains among the Banshees and the entirety of the Demons argued so much that they had to take shelter inside Mt. Immolate for the night! The challenge was a large relay race around the island, during which many conversations were had, injuries were given and received, and all manner of dirty tricks were used to try and overtake the competition, but in the end, Helen and Azami managed to come from behind and secure a victory for the Dreadful Demons, after which the curse of the episode revealed that all the losing teams would be voting someone off! Oh man the looks on their faces were priceless, hah hah… In one of the most open and shut elimination decisions in Total Drama history, the Visceral Vampires elected to vote off Natalie, the "Not-A-Psycho" with a 5 to 1 vote, believing that the bribing and shrewish Molly would be the lesser evil in the long run, but not before Natalie swore murderous revenge through the Coffin of Shame. The next team to arrive on the scene was the Bloody Banshees, where despite coming under scrutiny from Kyle and Aubrey, Freya managed to convince the other members of her team to vote in her favor, effectively blindsiding Misha, the Social Anxiety Girl, before she had a chance to realize that she was being played. After some threats to Kyle were made, the Macabre Mummies arrived for their elimination ceremony, where Lena managed to convince Phooka to vote for Daniel and thanks to an unexpected extra vote courtesy of a curious Tori, Phooka and Daniel competed in the traditional first tiebreaker of Nui Kaua: a staring contest, and despite their efforts, Phooka the Broken Chick, who was no longer quite as broken, was sent home, and Daniel regained the majority vote on his team. Now only 21 contestants remain and we'll be down to an even 20 by the end of tonight! Who can outdraw their competition and who will end up biting the losing bullet? Find out right now on Total Drama Nui Kaua...The Cursed...Island!"
Location: Weliweli Island
Contestant(s): Aleister, Antonio, Molly, Samuel, Twilight
"Aleisterrrrrr…" Molly whined as practically all the Visceral Vampires lay sprawled out on the ground of Weliweli Island. "I'm hungry…. Can't you get some food from the forest for me?"
"Nigh…" Aleister began to force himself up. "I'll try to."
"Don't...just do...what she...tells you to…" Twilight said through large breaths.
Confessional: Samuel: The Visceral Vampires
"Yeah, so...it turns out Chris wasn't kidding when he said Weliweli was inhospitable. Thankfully, I had stored up enough rations from our resort camp back on Nui Kaua so that we didn't have to go without food last night but apparently Molly hasn't deemed the meal satisfactory."
End Confessional
"He's not doing it because I'm telling him to." Molly said as she sat up and put her hair into its normal high ponytail. "He's doing it because he knows it will make me really happy." She gave Aleister a wink and he blushed seeing it.
Confessional: Aleister: The Visceral Vampires
"First Freya during the last challenge, and now Molly? I don't understand, what it is about me that all these girls are suddenly attracted to. Not that I'm complaining heheheheh. Molly's pretty hot after all."
End Confessional
Confessional: Molly: The Visceral Vampires
"Look, I was watching Aleister during that last challenge, and there is no way I'm going to let someone on another team seduce the only guy on mine that's attractive, alright? I have laid claim to the boys on this one. They are my possessions and Aleister is my favorite of them. Plus Aleister seems pretty easy to use and lose if I have to. That said, I wouldn't mind having some fun with him for his duration on this show."
End Confessional
"Antonio." Samuel said as he stood up, pausing to make sure he had his balance and wouldn't just fall back down. "You believe that I'm strong right?"
"Oh not this again." Twilight rolled her eyes.
Antonio stared at Samuel, and then at Twilight.
"There is no strength." He responded solemnly. "Only those who live, and those who are too weak to find the will to live. On this island of death and decay, simply not collapsing from exhaustion is a feat upon itself that no truly human person could ever hope to accomplish."
"Um." Samuel and Twilight looked at each other and then back at Antonio.
"Okay?" Twilight asked.
Confessional: Twilight: The Visceral Vampires
"I swear, this team is a complete joke. We just got rid of a criminally insane contestant, but I still have to deal with Molly, Ritch Bitch 2.0, her pet cat that is Aleister, and Antonio Allen Poe over here. At least there's Samuel, but that dude thinks he's strong when...well look at him! How? How can he be strong? I don't see like, any muscle! Ah, well at least none of these contestants smell worse than skunk turd, so I guess that's an improvement."
End Confessional
"Can we all agree guys?" Samuel asked. "That we need to win the next challenge?"
"Um...sure?" Molly asked back. "There's like, no way I want to end up back here again. I much prefer our deluxe camp thank you very much."
"Then maybe actually try next time instead of attempting to bribe the interns." Twilight grumbled.
"Um, it's not my fault the interns don't understand how loaded I am."
Confessional: Antonio: The Visceral Vampires
"Molly makes a good vampire. She's sucking the life out of me."
End Confessional
Location: Dreadful Demons Campsite
Contestant(s): Barnard, Helen, Jaime, Kaleaf
"Finally." Helen sighed as she and Barnard tied the last bits of the Dreadful Demons' new elevated shelter together.
"Now we don't have to worry about storms like that last one ever again."
"Yeah, we just have to worry about worse storms." Jaime scoffed as Kaleaf snickered.
"You scoff and laugh now, but when Azami and Kaden come back with fish, they're going to want to have a place to sit down and relax, and this shelter will seem like a godsend to them."
Confessional: Barnard: The Dreadful Demons
"The decision to build an elevated shelter was my idea. Chris did mention that this was the wet season, so I can only assume floods will be common. Better to prepare for them now so that we don't have to rebuild the shelter later."
End Confessional
"Well, while you've been building the shelter, I've been re-building the fire." Kaleaf responded. "It's taken a while because the wood we used previously was all completely drenched, but I managed to deliver."
"And I picked a large sum of berries, so we don't starve when it turns out Kaden and Azami didn't actually catch any fish." Jaime remarked.
Confessional: Jaime: The Dreadful Demons
"It's not that I don't have faith in Kaden or Azami's ability to catch fish, we've even been given the tool for it. I doubt Kaden and Azami's ability to catch fish together. In retrospect, we probably shouldn't have agreed to let them go down together."
End Confessional
Barnard noticed the tension between everyone else and quickly thought of a way to break the silence. "So, who do you guys think won't be coming back from the teams?"
"Definitely Natalie from the Vampires…" Helen put a finger to her cheek as she thought.
"I'm not quite sure who else though."
"Well, if we're talking about the Banshees…" Kaleaf pondered. "I suppose perhaps Sherwood? He's not dead weight by any means, but...I don't think he does much."
"And if it's the Mummies...It's probably someone like Phooka, Lena, or Daniel." Jaime decided.
"No, it wasn't Phooka." Kaleaf laughed nervously. "She wouldn't let herself be voted out so early. She'd fight."
"What if she did fight?" Barnard posited. "Ties between contestants is a thing that exists."
"Well, I don't rightly care who on the Mummies was voted off." Helen admitted. "As far as I'm concerned, when they got rid of Isaac first, that team cemented themselves as the clear villains of this season."
"Now that is an incredibly short-minded way of thinking." Barnard responded. "Isaac might not have been unanimously voted off. It could have been a 4 to 2 vote, or even a 3-3 tie, like I said earlier. Besides, he seemed like a good guy to me, but even I could see how he might have gotten annoying if he had stuck around."
Confessional: Helen: The Dreadful Demons
"Yeah! Kind of like how you're annoying when you keep attempting to argue with everyone! I enjoy debate to, but there's a time and a place for it, and barely surviving while competing on a twisted reality show is not the time for it."
End Confessional
"Well, whoever is gone now doesn't matter." Jaime decided. "What matters is that we don't end up as the next big losers. We have a numbers advantage and we were picked to be the strongest team."
Confessional: Jaime: The Dreadful Demons
"I realize that we were picked to be the strongest team by an idiot, but to his credit, he thought he would be with us too, and even Lucien doesn't seem dumb enough to put himself on a terrible team...I think."
End Confessional
"Ugh…" Kaleaf lay back and looked up at the sky. "Where the fuck is our fish?"
Location: Muliwai River
Contestant(s): Aubrey, Azami, Kaden, Kyle
Kaden and Azami both kept catching fish after fish with the fishing spear, each one confident that they would be bringing the most fish back to camp.
Confessional: Azami: The Dreadful Demons
"Kaden ought to be proud to hold his own against me, but that's all he ought to be proud of, because Azami always wins. If I ever did lose, I'd cease to be Azami, now wouldn't I?"
End Confessional
Confessional: Kaden: The Dreadful Demons
"The more Azami wants to compete against me in things that help our team, such as hunting fish, the better, I say! She's hot and adorable, and time spent with her is time well-spent."
End Confessional
"How many fish do you have?" Azami asked Kaden as they both surfaced from the river water to look at their hauls.
"I've got 50." Kaden boasted confidently.
"HA!" Azami laughed loudly. "I HAVE FIFTY-ONE!"
"What on earth was that?" Kyle asked as he and Aubrey rushed to the river, both concerned that there was some sort of wild animal there.
"It was just Azami celebrating." Kaden responded to them. "And she has good reason to. She caught over half of the 101 fish we're about to bring back to the Demons campsite."
"Oh yeah…" Aubrey sighed apologetically. "You guys have to fend for yourselves when it comes to food, huh?"
"It's not much of a handicap for you guys though." Azami grinned wickedly. "We STILL kicked your butts!"
"What are you guys doing way out here?" Kaden asked as he and Azami packed their fish up in nets and got ready to head back to their campsite.
"Well, Aubrey and I just sort of wanted to get out of the cabin, and away from Freya."
"She's exactly like my twin sister in terms of personality, save for maybe the fact that my twin sister likes to bribe to get things that she wants." Aubrey explained.
Kaden and Azami both gave Aubrey confused looks.
"Molly? The rich bitchy girl on the Vampires?"
"Ohhhh! Her!" Azami nodded, understanding. "She's the one that lost the last challenge so terribly! I'd be surprised if she's still around for much longer."
Confessional: Azami: The Dreadful Demons
"Look, it happened to Isaac, it'll eventually happen to Helen, it's normal. It is normal for losers to LOSE! I don't understand why everyone else finds this concept so hard to grasp!"
End Confessional
"Well, good luck with whatever it is losers need luck with." Azami tried and failed to offer support before she and Kaden headed back to their campsite, leaving Kyle and Aubrey alone.
"You...really don't trust Freya." Aubrey noted.
"She's not trustworthy!" Kyle defended himself. "Do you think we were the ones behind Misha's vote off? It was her! She's playing this team like a damn fiddle, picking and choosing who gets to stay and who doesn't on a freaking whim, and right now Aubrey, you and I, we're up shit's creek with our mouths open."
"Then, look, I know she's not exactly likeable, but maybe if we just play along and do what she says she'll get rid of someone else instead of us?"
"No...It'd take a pretty large amount of effort to deflect her attention off of us. We basically need to win challenges or else she's taking Sherwood and Nick with her to the merge."
"That sounds...actually like a pretty good pair to take to the merge, if you wanted to be allied with anyone that is." Aubrey admitted.
"Because she's smart." Kyle enforced his view of the situation. "She's being far more methodical about things than I would've expected from watching her previous season."
Confessional: Kyle: The Bloody Banshees
"Aubrey and I are on the outs of this team, which is bad. If at all possible, I'd like to get someone on Freya's alliance to flip and vote with us against her but, what would be in it for them? Nick's too busy thinking with his dick, and Sherwood already has two shields to hide behind. What's the point in trying to change anything? And Freya certainly isn't going to vote herself off. Man, this whole thing bites. I just wanted to come here, have a good competition, and play some country music. Is it too much to ask for just that little wish to be fulfilled, island gods? You've got me wanderin' around with my head chopped off here."
End Confessional
Confessional: Aubrey: The Bloody Banshees
"Molly always hated people from the country, even if they were cute enough for her, she couldn't stand those country songs, and views just about every southern outfit as tacky. She especially hates cowboy outfits. Anyways, because if this, if I see a cute boy from the south, I'm given a bit of an extra comfort in knowing that Molly won't go for him as long as I keep the relationship secret from her. Because, well, you know how sisters can be…"
End Confessional
"So, what should we do now?" Aubrey asked as she turned around to face Kyle. "I'm not exactly-wahh!"
"Aubrey, careful!" Kyle exclaimed as he caught Aubrey's arm before she fell into the river and pulled her back up onto the riverbank.
"A-are you alright?" Kyle asked, trying to hide his blushing face from Aubrey leaning against him.
"I-I'm fine! I'm fine. I'm fine." Aubrey kept repeating as she hurried away. "Thank you very much for not letting me fall in the river."
"Yeah...Anytime…"
The two stood around doing nothing for a while.
"So hey-!" The both said to each other before stopping.
"Ladies first." Kyle gestured.
"Um...oh, I feel so weird even asking this since we're in a reality show competition and all but, um...you think that maybe, sometime, we could like, eat lunch in the forest or something?"
"Yeah. Yeah!" Kyle smiled. "I'd love to do that. Would it be okay if I played a country song on my acoustic while we ate?"
"Of course!" Aubrey began to smile as well.
Confessional: Aubrey: The Bloody Banshees
"Did I just manage to score a date without Molly messing it up? I did right? Woo!"
End Confessional
Confessional: Kyle: The Bloody Banshees
"A girl as nice and pretty as Aubrey taking an interest in me? I should thank my lucky stars! See, I've never had a girlfriend before, but maybe Aubrey can change that. I do like her, and I think she likes me, and we're on the outs of the team anyways, so we might as well enjoy each other's company. Even if I'm voted out next, if Aubrey and I head in the direction I think we're heading in, I could be voted out a happy man."
End Confessional
Location: Macabre Mummies Campsite
Contestant(s): Daniel, Freya, Jamal, Nick, Sherwood
"Yo Nick, Go Nick/Make a fire, that's the trick!" Jamal rapped encouragement as Nick attempted, though it was clear he would not succeed, in creating a fire for the Macabre Mummies campsite.
"So this is where you guys sleep?" Freya's eyes widened at the crummy campsite save for the proper shelter that Isaac and Lena had built. "And none of you, like, died from overexposure to the elements?"
"If only." Daniel muttered.
Confessional: Daniel: The Macabre Mummies
"I wasn't talking about me. I was talking about the others. Less players is less competition."
End Confessional
"Nick, come on…" Freya pleaded. "I thought you said you could do this!"
"I can do this!" Nick responded, half to stand by his claim and half to psych himself up.
"KIIIIIIIIIINGSTOOOOON!"
He began to turn the stick against the kindling at an alarming rate for both Sherwood, who was watching silently, careful not to garner any attention from the opposing team, and Jamal, who kept reacting to each of Nick's actions with a rap.
"Come on Nick, you've got this, mac/Show us your instant campfire life hack."
Confessional: Freya: The Bloody Banshees
"Look, I don't mind pretending to like Nick if he's going to be helpful. He kisses...okay...but when he displays ineptitude like this, I can't help but wonder if there's a better, less disposable minion out there."
End Confessional
Confessional: Daniel: The Macabre Mummies
"The fire won't start. I made sure to soak everything with water. Our team put up with eating bugs for one weekend, we can do it for another. I only asked the Banshees to build up a fire because it would make one of them look like dead weight."
End Confessional
"So…" Freya looked around.
"I can't help but notice that your team is missing a few people."
"One of them is never here, but the other two/" Jamal rapped. "Were sent away to make room for you."
Confessional: Daniel: The Macabre Mummies
"*Sigh*...Figures. Jamal is dumb enough to tell the enemy that I sent away Lucien and Tori to avoid letting them see who we voted off last night."
End Confessional
"Don't mind their absence." Daniel did some damage control. "But to be fair, it's not like you brought your whole team along either, and you have no obligation to tell us who you voted off last night."
"I never said the missing team members were a problem." Freya shrugged.
Confessional: Freya: The Bloody Banshees
"The only problem around here is why Nick hasn't finished making a freaking fire yet."
End Confessional
"Nick, just give it up." Freya sighed, disappointed. "We'll find someone else to do it."
"No, I can do this!" Nick's eyes burned with a determination that very clearly let the others know he wasn't going to give up any time soon.
"KIIIIINGSTOOON! KIIIIINGSTOOON! KINGSTON!"
"No way, he's actually got a fire/Come on now Kingston, let the flames rise higher!" Jamal rapped excitedly.
"What?" Daniel's eyebrow rose, confused as he noticed that Nick had managed to create a small fire.
"Nick, you did it!" Freya changed her attitude to that of a bubbly cheer as she hopped and wrapped her arms around him, before giving him two sensual kisses in a row.
Daniel sighed to himself.
"Figures."
Confessional: Freya: The Bloody Banshees
"Maybe Nick can stay for just a little longer."
End Confessional
Confessional: Nick: The Bloody Banshees
"That's right! I just started a freaking fire using nothing but wood, bro! If making out with Freya's the reward, I bet I could move this island's freakin' volcano. Man, she's so freaking hot."
End Confessional
Location: Mt. Immolate Summit
Contestant(s): Lena, Lucien, Tori
Lena, Tori, and Lucien all sat atop Mt. Immolate, wondering what to say to each other, until Lena broke the silence.
"I know it wasn't Daniel obviously, so which one of you two assholes voted for him with me without telling me."
Tori opened her mouth to confess when.
"Man, I was caught that easily huh?" Lucien asked.
Confessional: Tori: The Macabre Mummies
"Wut? Whaaaaat?"
End Confessional
Confessional: Lucien: The Macabre Mummies
"I didn't vote against Daniel last time, but if Lena thinks I did, then I'm the swing vote...that's how this works right?" Lucien's eyes flicker with a knowing twinkle as he gives an unsettlingly goofy grin.
End Confessional
"It was the goddamn retard who voted with me?!" Lena almost shouted to the heavens. "Well shit, I guess I really am all the fuck alone. What are you voting alphabetically or something asshole? If you wanted to get rid of Daniel, why didn't you fucking tell me? We could have definitely gotten someone else to side with us if we all confronted them at once! Now we're down to just two again!"
Confessional: Lena: The Macabre Mummies
"Fucking dumb *BLEEP*s, all of them…"
End Confessional
"Maybe not." Tori saw an opportunity and grabbed it. "You've got me here with you two don't you? Maybe we can form our own alliance. Now Daniel and Jamal are on the outs, and we're 3 strong. What do you think of that?"
"I think if you're telling the truth, sure, what the fuck ever, if it gets that bitch-ass and the other idiot out of here, I'm all for it."
"And I think that we should have a cool name, and if you don't mind, I've come up with one." Lucien suggested.
"What is it something 4th-grade, like "Shadow Club" or some dumb shit like that?" Lena asked.
"Oooh that is a good one!" He exclaimed. "No mine wasn't as good as that one, but here goes…"
He took a breath and then gestured his hands out like he was trying to sell a used car.
"We can call ourselves...The Children of Isaac."
"You colossal fucking moron." Lena shook her head. "How are we muscle-heads fucking kids?"
"No, Lena, I think it works." Tori laughed. "Think about it, wasn't it Isaac who ended up inspiring you to go on this crusade of yours in the first place? I think it'll stick to, listen to this." She paused for a second to channel what she thought Chris would say.
"But while Daniel was busy planning his next trap, the Children of Isaac had set one of their own." She took a breath again. "Can't you imagine Chris saying something like that?"
"Well, why the fuck do we have to be his children though?"
"Because it sounds the best." Lucien answered with a nod, agreeing with himself.
Confessional: Tori: The Macabre Mummies
"Lucien...appears to be not your average idiot. Whether he knows it or not, he's in the position of power right now when it comes to elimination. I'm going to keep my eye on you as well, buddy. You've peaked my curiosity just as much as our lovely little potty-mouth has."
End Confessional
*BEEEEP*
"Hello campers!" Chris announced over the loudspeakers. "Meet me at Nui Kaua Field for today's challenge AND curse! I promise it's not one that will pull a fast one on you this time, swearsies!"
Location: Nui Kaua Field
Contestant(s): All Remaining
"Welcome, remaining competitors!" Chris grinned as everyone gathered around. "First, let's bring in the Visceral Vampires from Weliweli Island. As you can see, there's no more Natalie!"
"Fucking good." Lena crossed her arms. "Bitch was fucking insane."
"Figures." Daniel nodded.
"In any case…" Chris grinned as he looked around at the teams. "Today's challenge will be…" He looked over at Chef, who, grinning, pulled a curtain away from the rack it was covering, revealing all manner of paintball guns. "The Great Paintball War of Nui Kaua!"
"I'm out." Kyle rose up his hand to the surprise of his entire team.
"Excuse me?" Freya asked. "You know if we lose you'll be eliminated for that crack, right?"
"Is there a problem?" Chris grinned, feigning ignorance at the situation.
Confessional: Kyle: The Bloody Banshees
"When I was a kid, my dad, my uncle Jessie, and I were out hunting in the woods near our house. We spotted a buck out in a clearing and my uncle went to shoot, but his gun misfired and exploded in his hands, and left his face badly scarred from the shrapnel of the barrel hitting his left eye and cheek. He lost sight in that eye and can only help out sparingly on the farm. Ever since then, I've been afraid of touching one, in case the same thing happens to me."
End Confessional
"Well, maybe you don't have to shoot the gun at all!" Aubrey tried to suggest to him to make him feel a bit better.
"I guess you don't have to." Chris shrugged. "That said, the aim of the game is for your team to succeed in hitting your mark five times. Last team to get five shots to hit their opponents loses and is sent to the Po'ino Bonfire Elimination Ceremony, where one of them will be the next lucky loser to enter the Coffin of Shame and ride the Horror Hearse off of the island. Any questions?"
"What constitutes hitting your mark?" Samuel asked.
Chris nodded as he gave a demonstration. "Anything above the waist, and anything below the neck. Headshots and crotch shots both give the person you hit a point for their team."
"Is there a number of times one is allowed to be hit?" Samuel continued to ask questions.
"Nope!" Chris answered with a smile. "If everyone wants to gang up on Helen, be my guest!"
"Hey!" Helen huffed.
"Now does everyone understand?" Chris asked.
All the contestants nodded.
"Good! Now…" he pulled out a bound scroll from his pocket. "This is today's big curse! And it goes to whichever team claims it first!"
"You aren't going to tell us what it is first?" Jaime crossed her arms as Chris shook his head.
"It doesn't matter what it is." Tori smirked. "Because-"
"We want it!" Nick enthusiastically raised his hand before Tori could finish.
Confessional: Tori: The Macabre Mummies
"Well, I thought I'd be taking it but I guess I'm not the only risk taker here. Very well, Nick. May the best gambler win."
End Confessional
"Congratulations, Bloody Banshees!" Chris exclaimed. "You've got a good one! The 'Early Casualties Curse'! Using this curse, you can select one member from each of the other teams to send to Weliweli Island until its time for the next challenge, meaning they can't compete in this one, but they also won't be voting or going home should their team lose. I'll let you talk your choices over for a few minutes."
Confessional: Freya: The Bloody Banshees
"Well, for the Demons and Mummies the choices were obvious, but for the Vampires? I really had to worm my way through that discussion to get my choice of contestant to send to Weliweli."
End Confessional
"Banshees, time's up." Chris announced after a few minutes had passed. "Who are you sending to Weliweli?"
"Azami, Lena, and Aleister." Nick announced.
Freya gave Aleister a flirtatious wink as his name was announced.
Confessional: Azami: The Dreadful Demons
"Well, the Demons won't be coming in first without me there to help them, that's for sure. Hopefully they don't lose either. I wouldn't want to be on a team filled with proven losers."
End Confessional
Confessional: Aleister: The Visceral Vampires
"I don't get it! Was she really serious about what she said during the last challenge? Why else would she keep me safe?"
End Confessional
As Lena, Aleister, and Azami headed out with Chef towards Weliweli, Chris continued to explain the challenge. "Now, each of your paintball guns have been loaded with different color paintballs. Mummies have white paint, Banshees have red paint, Vampires have yellow paint, and Demons have black paint. So if a shot misses you, you can tell what team your pursuer is on by the color. Now, we'll get you all set up and into your starting positions and we can begin. Once again, the island is your playground. May the best team win!"
Challenge: Painting The Forest, Teams will be given paintball guns of their team's color(White, Red, Yellow, Black), and are responsible for shooting members of opposing teams with the paint. Each paintball hit below the head and above the waist counts as a point. The last team to reach 5 points will head to the Po'ino Bonfire Elimination Ceremony, where they will vote someone off.
Thanks to Nick, recipients of the 'Early Casualties' curse are:
Mummies Member: Lena
Vampires Member: Aleister
Demons Member: Azami
Location: Nahele Forest
Contestant(s): Daniel, Kaden, Samuel, Nick, Barnard
Kaden slowly crept through the trees as he hunted Samuel through the forest. "Gotcha." He smirked as he fired his paintball gun and it hit Samuel square the back, coating his shirt with a black paint.
"Agh!" Samuel wailed out as he turned around and pointed directly at where Kaden was hiding.
"There's someone in there!" He announced as he hit Kaden square in the chest with a yellow paintball.
"Crap!" Kaden exclaimed as he braced through the sting of the attack.
Confessional: Samuel: The Visceral Vampires
"I may not have brought any items for this particular event, but my sense of direction is all I really need. If I'm shot, I can at least take my shooters down with me!"
End Confessional
Both a white and red paintball hurled their way through the air towards Kaden.
"Oh...crap…" He realized as the hit him on either arm, causing him to drop his gun.
"KINGSTON!" Nick celebrated from the trees.
Elsewhere, from a different tree, Daniel sighed as he heard Nick's call. "Figures."
He went quiet again when he noticed Barnard aiming and Samuel however.
"Agh! Again?!" Samuel asked as a second ball of black paint hit him.
"Again." Daniel mumbled as he fired a white ball of paint at Barnard, hitting him just on the shoulder.
"Who is it?" Barnard asked as he turned and shot, but Daniel had already left the area.
Team Scores:
Mummies: 2
Banshees: 1
Vampires: 1
Demons: 2
Location: Nui Kaua Beach
Contestant(s): Daniel, Nick, Molly, Jaime
As Daniel headed towards the beach, he noticed Nick approach Molly.
"Hey Aubrey, how many have you got so far?" He asked.
"Eeek!" Molly turned around and fired her paintball gun everywhere.
"Gah!" Nick, startled by both having the wrong twin and the sudden firing towards him, fired his own paintball gun and hit Molly in the stomach.
"Owowow…." She dropped her own paintball gun and fell to the sand.
"Sorry!" Nick ran up to her.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"I...I'm fine now…" Molly flirted as she leaned into Nick's shoulder.
Confessional: Molly: The Visceral Vampires
"So Freya thinks she can steal Aleister as prey away from me huh? Let's see how she reacts when I take away Nick from her!"
End Confessional
Confessional: Daniel: The Macabre Mummies
"When the iron is hot…"
End Confessional
Daniel fired his paintball gun and hit Nick just above the waist, causing him to fall over.
Molly took advantage of the situation and positioned herself so that when Nick fell, their lips locked, and while he tried to get up, she wouldn't let him and continued to kiss him until he stopped resisting it.
Daniel shook his head in disappointment at the competition as he left the area once again when he noticed Jaime approaching from the other side of the beach.
"Ahem." She coughed at the couple making out, though neither paid her any mind.
She shrugged and fired her paintball gun, hitting Molly in the back, before retreating further inland.
"Crap!" Molly pouted as she felt where the black paintball had hit her.
"Oh well." She smiled at Nick. "At least we were able to have some fun, huh?"
"No, I...I shouldn't have done that." Nick regretted the event that had just happened. "I need to tell Freya and maybe I can."
Molly sighed.
She took out a couple of hundred dollar bills and put them in Nick's pocket. "That's for not telling Freya, continuing to do it when I want you to, and for letting me leave without shooting me again."
She spent another minute making out with a mostly confused Nick before leaving him with a seductive wave.
"Oh, but if you want to tell Aubrey about it, go ahead. She'll want to know I beat her to securing a boy yet again."
Confessional: Nick: The Bloody Banshees
"Well, it turns out Aubrey really wasn't kidding when she talked about Molly. She's a terrible sister."
End Confessional
Nick remained on the sand in contemplation for a while, before deciding it would be best to get moving again.

Contestant(s): Freya, Jamal, Tori, Twilight
"Ready?" Tori asked as Jamal readied his paintball gun and nodded.
"Let's win this game/and rise to fame." Jamal responded.
"Fire." Tori grinned.
Jamal fired his paintball gun with the same kind of grin.
"Ah!" Freya dropped her paintball gun and looked down at the splatter of white paint on her torso and tank top. "Unbelievable! Really? Who is that immature?"
"Meh…" Twilight shrugged as she walked by and stepped on Freya's paintball gun to avoid getting shot. "I think the look suits someone like you."
She shot her own paintball gun into the bushes.
"Get down/you clown!" Jamal shoved Tori out of the way, though in doing so, his shoulder was hit with a yellow paintball itself.
"Just my luck." Tori somewhat chuckled to herself before all four contestants in the large field retreated to various other parts of the island.

Contestant(s): Barnard, Lucien, Molly, Sherwood, Samuel, Twilight
"You've got to be kidding me, really?" Samuel asked as Sherwood disappeared as soon he had appeared to shoot him. "Tough break, short stuff." Twilight laughed as she shot Barnard in the left shoulder from behind some foliage before pushing the two of them back so that Barnard's reaction shot missed them.
"It looks like you aren't quite fit to be calling any shots around here after all, huh? You've got more paint on you than Antonio."
"I got one!" Molly announced as she shot Lucien in the chest and he klutzily fell into the river.
"Good. That's one more and we're all set." Twilight nodded.
"Where even is Antonio?" Samuel asked.
Confessional: Samuel: The Bloody Banshees
"Man, today is just not my day. Come to think of it, neither was the last day we had a challenge. Is someone hogging all the good luck on this island or something? That's gotta be it right? The more this bullshit keeps happening, the less likely I'll ever get Twilight to see how truly strong I am!"

Location: Mt. Immolate Summit
Contestant(s): Antonio, Freya, Helen, Jamal, Kaleaf, Nick,
"Freya!" Nick called as he reached the top of Mt. Immolate to see his teammate. "Freya we're almost there, we only need two more!"
"Nick, you moron!" Freya snapped as Helen reached the top of the volcano as well.
"What a coincidence!" She smiled as she aimed her paintball gun as Kaleaf appeared beside her as well. "So do we."
Her shot hit Freya right in the leg, causing Kaleaf and Nick to start shooting paintballs one after the other at each other, continuously missing their marks.
"What on earth?" Antonio wondered as he crept towards the top of the summit to watch the shootout.
"Sorry to interrupt you all/But the winner of this game's Jamal!" Jamal announced as he recklessly ran straight through the firefight between Nick and Kaleaf and managed to hit Antonio just above his right hip.
"Mummies Win!" Chris announced through the loudspeakers. "Mummies can go relax, they are no longer a part of the game!"
"Don't let them get to you Freya, we can still catch up!" Nick didn't lose hope, though he did turn to look when there was no answer of any kind. "Freya?"
"She left, like, the second you began shooting." Helen explained.
"Goodbye." Kaleaf said to Nick.
"KIIINGSTOON!" Nick yelled.
Both shot paintballs at each other, hitting their foe in the chest at the exact same time.
"Banshees with 4 and Demons with 5! Demons have won!" Chris announced again. "Demons can go relax, they are no longer a part of the game!"
"It's down to Banshees and Vampires, huh?" Nick muttered as he noticed Antonio and decided to bail so that he wouldn't be shot.

Contestant(s): Aubrey, Daniel, Kyle, Lucien
"So that's your situation, eh?" Daniel asked as Kyle and Aubrey relayed their plight to him and Lucien, who had elected to spend time in the cabin of the team they had an 'alliance' with. "Well, this probably isn't important Aubrey, but I don't think Nick likes Freya the way you think he does. In fact, I think he likes you."
"Excuse me?" Aubrey asked, somewhat taken aback, and Kyle's brow furrowed.
"It's true." Daniel nodded. "He ran into Molly and he thought she was you for a while, boy was he worried. I bet if you talked to him, you'd figure out he liked you."
"Wow...I...I don't know what to say…"
"It's just something to consider." Daniel shrugged.
Confessional: Daniel: The Macabre Mummies
"The more discord on our 'ally' team the better. Even Lucien can see that Kyle has a thing for Aubrey, but Aubrey is naive and trusting of any information I feed her, and Nick is...Nick. The important part is getting them so wrapped up in their own drama that no one on the mummies attempts to defect, not even Lena, our Weliweli resident."
End Confessional
"Kyle man…" Lucien looked at Kyle. "You okay? That's the look I get when I think someone's about to eat a lunch I'd prepared for myself. I know the feel bro."
Confessional: Lucien: The Macabre Mummies
It is evident by is look in the confessional that Lucien knew exactly the full extent of what Kyle was feeling, and understand the precise effect his words would have on him.

Location: Nui Kaua Docks
Contestant(s): Freya, Molly, Samuel
"Alright Freya, you and me, the battle of the enchantresses, let's go!" Molly held up her paintball gun to Freya.
"Molly, you're holding the gun the wrong way." Freya brushed her hair back. "And..excuse me? Did you say battle of the-"
"Don't play dumb." Molly moved towards Freya. "I know you've been trying to sink your claws into Aleister, but I'll have you know that I've managed to sink my teeth into one of your own as well!"
"Really..." Freya rolled her eyes. "Who?"
"Nick." Molly answered with a smug grin.
"Really?" Freya was no longer treating the encounter as irrelevant.
"Really." Molly grinned. "And after I shoot you and win for the vampires, I'll be calling him out to the forest where we'll make out and plot your elimination. This island is only big enough for one beautiful villain and that's me!"
She pulled the trigger, and a paintball zoomed right past her head.
"I told you." Freya said as she grabbed and then tossed Molly's paintball gun before also grabbing the scrunchie holding Molly's hair in a ponytail and removing it. "You were holding it the wrong way."
Confessional: Molly: The Visceral Vampires
"What the shit? That was my only scrunchie! It was encrusted with diamonds!"
End confessional
She tossed the scrunchie into the lake and looked at Molly. "Hm...you do look just like Aubrey when you wear your hair the same." She picked up her own paintball gun. "But luckily for you...you won't be around much longer. Game ov-er…" Freya stepped back to reveal the yellow paintball splatter on her stomach before she fell into the lake.
"I got her!" Samuel called from further down the dock. "Go Vampires!"
"And the Vampires end it!" Chris announced over the loudspeakers.
"The Banshees, despite having the advantage of the curse, have still managed to lose the challenge! Banshees, I'll be seeing you all later tonight at Po'ino once again!"
Location: Bloody Banshees Campsite
Contestant(s): Aubrey, Freya, Kyle, Nick, Sherwood
"Well, great...just great." Freya said. "How did we lose again?"
"Well, you didn't get us any points." Aubrey noted.
"I tried, Aubrey!" Freya snapped. "I freaking tried! And what were you and Kyle doing huh? Just sitting in this cabin and playing the kissy face you both chastise me for doing?"
Kyle and Aubrey both looked away from each other, each one momentarily glancing at Nick, who noticed this and became a little confused.
"I...I need some fresh air." Aubrey said as she left the cabin.
"Well Kyle?" Freya asked.
"I...I couldn't take holding the gun." Kyle honestly admitted. "If it was any other kind of challenge, I would have done it, I promise! But a gun? I don't hold those any more…"
Nick looked out the window at something while Freya, strangely enough, backed off of Kyle.
"Sorry. If it's that big a deal for you, I guess I can understand why you didn't really participate. Also…" She sat down on the bunk next to him. "I can understand if you don't believe me or anything, especially after everything I've said and done, but...I'm sorry about last time we lost. I called you a hick and that was uncalled for." Nick got up and left the cabin in between Freya's sentences. "Someone shouldn't be made fun of or be thought less of just because they live in a certain place."
"You're right...I don't believe you." Kyle sighed. "And I wish time could help me solve whether you're sincere or not, but we both appear to be gunning for each other this elimination time around so-"
"Actually…" Freya sighed. "There was something...I thought I should tell and show you, and once you hear and see it, I think you'll agree that we can hold off on our petty rivalry and focus on a bigger picture."
Confessional: Kyle: The Bloody Banshees
"Freya's never sounded this...sincere before. What could possibly have her this somber?"

Confessional: Freya: The Bloody Banshees
Freya appears sad and dejected for a while, before muttering "Hook, line, and sinker…" And looking back up with an evil grin on her face.

Location: Nahele Forest
Contestant(s): Freya, Kyle, Molly, Nick
"Kyle…" Freya said as she led Kyle by the hand through the forest. "I caught Nick cheating on me."
"Well-"
"I know, I know, you'll say something like I deserve it or whatever, but I think you'll agree that we can't stand idly by when you see who he's cheating with."
Kyles heart sank as he saw Nick and Molly, who from their distance looked exactly like Aubrey, making out with each other in the forest.
"N-no...That-..."
"I thought you deserved to know." Freya said as she let go of Kyle's hand and put her own on his shoulder as he fell to the ground on his knees.
"No, I...I had a song planned...We were going to…"
"Shhh…" Freya wrapped her arms around Kyle as she knelt down and hugged him from behind.
"Shh, It's alright. Things will be alright. I can understand what you must be going through, and together we'll make the pain go away, and you'll feel all better."
Confessional: Kyle: The Bloody Banshees
"I thought *sniff* I thought it was the start of something, ya'know *snivel* but it turns out I can't even trust her! *sniff* Man, I can't believe I thought I'd ever have a chance." While Kyle doesn't say anymore, it's clear he's on the verge of completely crying.

Location: Po'ino Bonfire Elimination Ceremony
Contestant(s): Aubrey, Freya, Kyle, Nick, Sherwood
"Welcome, Bloody Banshees." Chris announced as the five Banshees walked into the Po'ino Bonfire Elimination Ceremony. "It's nice to see you all again. One of you for possibly the last time!" He laughed.
Kyle's face was red but clearly angry. Aubrey looked around nervously and confused. Freya had a mournful look on her own face, while Nick's was covered in guilt. The only one who didn't have any strange behavior was Sherwood.
Confessional: Sherwood: The Bloody Banshees
"I am so grateful that I was pulled aside to be a number by that drama queen. She's turning this team into a freaking Shakespearean play, and allowing me to step out of the spotlight without the fear of being eliminated for not standing out like I was with Ka Malu O last season. Good on you Freya, keep their eyes on you and let me zoom on ahead to the finish line."
End Confessional
"Well...this is an interesting set of faces…" Chris was slightly disturbed by what he saw. "Why don't we all take a seat and get started. Freya, you got hit with paint 3 times today, and you didn't hit a single target yourself. Would you say that qualifies you for elimination?"
"Not when someone else did absolutely nothing, when doing something might have given us the extra point we needed." She responded as she crossed her legs.
"Okay, you know? I've kind of had it with you trying to pin things on Kyle all the time!" Aubrey stood up.
"Oh, why should you care?" Kyle huffed.
"I wasn't talking about Kyle." Freya said, speaking up before Aubrey could ask what Kyle meant. "I was talking about you. Besides, something more pressing on our team has come up, and I'm sure you know all about it."
"Oh! Oh, okay I see now. You're trying to get rid of me because you think Nick likes me and you're jealous! Kyle was right, you are petty!"
"You probably wouldn't understand, since you're rich." Freya responded, grinning on the inside as Aubrey had said exactly what she had hoped to hear. "But most of us understand that you can only keep one significant other at a time."
Nick coughed.
"Wait, what?"
Confessional: Aubrey: The Bloody Banshees
"What's going on? Why is Kyle so mad at me? Should I not have kept him company during the challenge? Did someone cheat on someone else? I would never do that! I'm so confused as to what's supposed to be happening right now…I'm going to need to watch this episode when I get back home so I can figure out all this..."
End Confessional
"Oooh!" Chris grinned. "This is perfect! Tension all around! Let's all cast our votes! Aubrey, you're up first!"
Aubrey slowly walked up to the voting area and wrote down her only guess of a name.
"I...I think you're the one we're voting for...but I can't be sure, can I?"
"Freya, you next." Chris announced as Aubrey came back.
Freya walked up the the voting area, and easily wrote down a name. "I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a little personal." She admitted. "Honestly, you should have known better."
"Kyle, you're next…" Chris announced when Freya returned.
Kyle silently wrote his vote down. He very clearly did not feel like talking at all.
"Nick…" Chris announced when Kyle came back.
Nick walked up the voting area and wrote a name down.
"I'm sorry, It's not that I want to, but it's the only way." He sighed.
"Finally…" Chris announced as Nick returned. "Sherwood."
"'Bout bloody time." Sherwood mumbled as he got up and wrote a name down himself. "Sorry you had to get wrapped up in this mess, friend, but better you than me."
"I'll go tally the votes." Chris said when Sherwood came back.
After a few minutes passed, Chris returned.
"Alright, I have with me a plate with four crystal balls on it." He announced. "If I call your name, come up and receive a crystal ball. If your name is not called, you must immediately enter the Coffin of Shame and ride the Horror Hearse off of the island."
He paused before beginning the distribution of the crystal balls.
"The first crystal ball goes to…
…
Sherwood!"
Sherwood walked up and received his crystal ball.
"The next Crystal ball goes to…" Chris smiled as he paused again.
…
…
…
…
"Freya."
Freya nodded with a pleased smile as she walked up and received her crystal ball as well.
"The third crystal ball…" Chris looked at Aubrey, Kyle and Nick and paused again.
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
"Goes to Kyle." He announced.
Kyle wiped his nose and gave a sigh of relief as he walked up to get his own crystal ball.
"Aubrey, Nick…" Chris grinned as he held up the last crystal ball.
"This is the final crystal ball of the evening...and it goes to…

… Aubrey." Chris smiled. Aubrey gave a sigh of immense relief, though Kyle looked away in discomfort. "Nick, I'm sorry bro, it looks like you're out."
"Honestly? I'm a little relieved." Nick began. "Now I can be honest about-"
"Just get in the coffin, cheater!" Freya called, moreso to stop any truth from leaking out than out of any genuine hurt.
"KIIIIIINGSTOOON!" Nick announced as leapt into the coffin and Chef closed the lid over him, before driving off.
"Nick cheated?" Aubrey asked. "How?"
"Don't play dumb." Freya shook her head as she herded Kyle and Sherwood back towards the cabin, before staying back to talk to Aubrey.
"You know who it was. It was your sister, but because she looked like you when it happened, Kyle thought it was with you."
"Oh no!" Aubrey gasped. "He must feel so hurt, I need to go let him know everything is alright between us and-"
"Woah, now, don't get ahead of yourself." Freya gripped Aubrey by the forearm and stopped her from going after Kyle. "I've put in too much work to get Kyle even slightly under my influence. You aren't going to tell him anything. In fact, you're going to tell me everything you know about him. What he likes, what his hobbies are, his fears, any secrets he's shared. And I'm going use it all to make him mine."
"Why on Earth would I do that, especially for you?" Aubrey asked, standing her ground.
"Because he's never going to believe you about Molly, and if you don't, I'll vote him off next instead, and you'll follow shortly after. You have to pay a toll if you want to cross a bridge, Aubrey, and the price for your and Kyle's continued existence in the game is Kyle's loyalty. Well? What will it be?"
"Oh man...look at that!" Chris said as he noticed the scene taking place before a camera focused on him again. "With Nick gone, we're down to an even 20. Who will be the next one to go? Will the name The Children of Isaac actually stick? And is there truly any hope left for a 'good guy' to win this game? Find out next time on Total Drama Nui Kaua…
The Cursed…
Island!"
*Nick's Final Confessional:
"Well, I wasn't expecting to be voted out so early, but I guess Freya managed to find out about Molly faster than I thought. I wish I could have explained the situation to her, but she seemed pretty angry with me, and I get it. Still though, she was hot and smart, and I really thought with my athleticism and willingness to do what she wanted we could have gone far. At least I got a couple hundred dollars out of this though. KIIIINGSTOOON!"

The Votes(for those who are curious)
Aubrey voted for…Freya
Freya voted for… Nick
Kyle voted for… Aubrey
Nick voted for…Kyle
Sherwood voted for… Nick
AN:
So… Nick.
KIIIIIIIINGSTOOOON!
That's about all that really stuck with me when I read through the OC sheet, but I mean, if their stereotype is 'the Leeroy', It's pretty clear they're based off a meme, and the thing with meme-based characters is that they either make it very far, or not very far at all, and with this, especially if this chapter is anything to go by, being a season of villains, plots, and betrayals, poor Nick didn't stand a chance. I liked him in general, but the poor guy didn't stand a chance in this cast of completely ruthless competitors.
Having studied his actions through the season, Nick, receives the status of: Neutral
I considered, for a bit, giving Nick Villain status, but meh...he was more of a naive accessory to deceit than anything else, hence Neutral.
Nick's Best Moment: It's hard for me to decide. Personally, I like his creating fire despite Daniel attempting to make him look inept by soaking the wood. I mean, Nick ended up eliminated anyways so I guess Daniel's plan wasn't a complete failure, but it was still pretty funny to see at least that phase of the plan not working in the long run.
But of course, this is all just my opinion. What do you guys think?
Any thoughts on this episode's curse?
Any guesses or hopes on what the next episode's curse will be?
And as always, thanks for reading!
