It was the middle of the evening on the Jumbo Jet where Team Victory was sitting in economy class with Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot. They had just lost the first challenge of the season thanks to Ezekiel's blunder by letting the crocodile eat their stick. It would have been a reward challenge, but of course things just had to go wrong with them. Moreso things just had to go wrong for Ezekiel.
"So, who are you guys voting for eh?" Ezekiel asked his teammates, quickly getting some angry looks from them. It was a stupid question, but he was just full of them.
Harold was sitting next to him, still wearing his tinfoil hat. "You obviously, gosh! You blew the freakin' challenge man!" Harold answered loudly, shocking Ezekiel despite how obvious it was.
Judging by the looks from the rest of his teammates, it was clear that they all felt the same way. "Hey wait, uhh... let's vote for Bridgette!" Ezekiel suggested, to which his teammates shook their heads at him right away.
"And why would you suggest something so crazy like that?" LeShawna asked him, raising an eyebrow while everyone else just waited for his oh so important wisdom.
Ezekiel put one hand on his chin and thought about it, before raising a finger in the air. "Cuz she's a girl, and she's like, not a big strong one like LeShawna eh." Ezekiel gave his reasoning, which prompted Harold and DJ to immediately grab LeShawna's arms before she could full on tackle him.
Ezekiel had backed into the corner of the economy class room on the bench as LeShawna made an attempt to lunge at him, realizing his mistake for once by looking at her eyes. "Uhh, well... we should vote for DJ instead!" Ezekiel suggested, now pointing at the brickhouse who gave him a disappointed look.
"I hold her back for you and now you turn on me? That's just wrong, wronger than hot sauce on mashed potatoes." DJ said, still holding LeShawna for a few more seconds until she gave up and sat back down between him and Harold.
The homeschooler tried to think up something on the spot, one last ditch light bulb going off in his head to save himself. "Well yeah eh. You broke that mummy dog thingy and got cursed! Harold said that's like, super bad eh. I think, poor dog. You killed it!" Ezekiel accused him, getting up from his seat.
Harold hesitantly nodded in agreement with Ezekiel, pushing his glasses up with one finger before speaking. "DJ did curse himself, but that's just him, gosh! That doesn't change that you lost the challenge for us!" Harold countered Ezekiel's argument, but now LeShawna was having some doubts as well.
"Well remember when our girl Beth got cursed? We kept losing challenges until she got voted off. So unless you've got some sage to burn DJ..." LeShawna looked towards him apologetically, before just looking down at the ground.
DJ couldn't believe what he was hearing, now looking to Bridgette and Lindsay. "Are guys serious? I didn't do anything in the challenge that hurt us! That was just in the pyramid!" DJ tried to argue, but the seed of doubt had already been planted. Both of them shrugged, although Lindsay was just confused at what was going on.
Alejandro and the rest of Team Chris were watching the argument unfold, and the slippery manipulator right away jumped at a chance to gain a pawn in his scheme. "Your teammates are correct DJ. Perhaps your curse will wear off after you are eliminated. Lest you'd rather endanger your own teammates in denial." Alejandro added, feigning sorrow at having to say this.
DJ looked just as sad as Alejandro was pretending to be, realizing what needed to be done. "Can we at least give it one more challenge to see if this is a real curse? We still don't know if it's even real!" DJ begged, looking to LeShawna for some reasoning.
"I'll think about it sugar, but don't count on it. We've got to think of what's best for the team." LeShawna told him, the guilt behind the idea of voting for DJ still holding her back from fully committing to it.
Alejandro put his hands behind his back and winked at Bridgette and Lindsay. "Of course, what's best for the team. Am I right ladies? A proper team member does not deserve to be subjected to a curse." Alejandro asked them with his usual smooth, charming tone, easily working on them.
Bridgette didn't say anything, captivated by Alejandro, while Lindsay now looked terrified at the mention of a curse. "A curse!? Oh my gosh... how do we get rid of it!?" Lindsay asked, both hands on her head as she began to panic.
"Vote for DJ eh!" Ezekiel answered quickly, which Lindsay immediately believed despite his comments earlier.
"Okay!" Lindsay's mood changed from terrified to relieved in a split second, baffling Noah who was also watching them.
Noah turned to face Tyler, gesturing to Lindsay with his hand. "Is she normally on a seesaw with her emotions or is it some new shampoo?" Noah asked him, getting a quick chuckle from Owen.
Tyler shook his head, taking the question seriously. "No dude, well, I don't think she's using a new shampoo. I'll have to get back to you on that one." he responded, making Noah roll his eyes and focus back on Team Victory.
There wasn't much left to focus on though, as the intercom in the cabin now turned on with Chris's voice. "Alright! I need Team Not-So-Victory to cast their votes and meet me in the elimination cabin! Make sure to stamp the passport of the team member that you want to eliminate!" Chris announced, prompting the six team members to get up from their seats on the bench and head to the confessional for their first time voting.
-Confessional: Ezekiel-
Ezekiel had DJ's passport in front of him, quickly stamping it with a confident smile on his face. "Sorry JJ. I wanna win something for once eh."
-Confessional: Lindsay-
Lindsay had ignored Chris's instructions on voting and instead stamped all of the passports excitedly, including hers. Even after stamping them all, she stamped them all again and again. "This is so fun, the stamp makes such a fun sound!"
-Confessional: Bridgette-
Bridgette was fixing up her hair with the bathroom's mirror, before quickly noticing that the camera was recording and stamped Ezekiel's passport without hesitation.
-Confessional: LeShawna-
LeShawna was holding up two passports, Ezekiel's and DJ's. "Imma trust Ezekiel on this one, but don't think this means we're on good terms! You've got a long ways to go before you get on Shawny's good side!"
-End Confessionals-
All six members of Team Victory had gathered in the elimination cabin, with DJ, LeShawna, and Harold sitting in the back row, while Ezekiel, Lindsay, and Bridgette sat in the front row. Chris was standing in front of a podium, with five barf bags filled with peanuts were waiting to be given out. "Team Victory! You're the first ones here, so I'll explain how this all works so our lovely audience understands as well! I've got airline issued peanuts in barf bags here to give out, and you'll get a bag if you're safe! If you don't..." Chris began his explanation, before opening the door on the plane and pointing out the door.
"You'll get a parachute and be forced to take the Drop of Shame! You all cast your votes, and it's quite obvious why you're all sitting here, Zeke!" Chris chided Ezekiel once he was done explaining, making him slouch in his seat a little in shame.
Chris grabbed the first barf bag, tossing it in his hand for a moment. Chef brought out the passports and set them down on the podium in front of Chris, before hurrying back to the captain's cabin. Because of the angle the podium was at, only Chris could see the passports. "Barf bags go to..."
"Lindsay."
"Bridgette."
"LeShawna."
"and Harold."
Chris tossed the four of them their barf bags, now looking at the last two without peanuts. "Ezekiel! You turned this episode from a boring reward challenge to a much more interesting elimination challenge! I thank you for that, but I don't think your team appreciates it as much as I do. DJ! If you're kept around, you could be putting your team or other mummified dogs at risk, so... yeah. Kinda baseless to vote you off I'd say! So who's gonna get the final barf bag? That certain someone is..."

DJ leaned forward in his seat, his hands on his cheeks as he began to sweat nervously. Ezekiel's pupil's shrank a little as he eyed the final barf bag, looking just as nervous as DJ.

"Ezekiel!"
Chris tossed the final barf bag to the homeschooler, leaving the brickhouse out to dry and soon to be out the plane. "Sorry bud, can't go around cursing your team I guess!" Chris chuckled, then tossed DJ his parachute.
DJ looked at his teammates with a brief look of grief, but he sighed in disappointment, blaming this on himself for touching that mummified dog. "Okay... at least no more animals with get hurt once I'm gone right? Right?" DJ tried to look at the positive as he made his way to the door.
There was some silence from the rest of Team Victory for a moment before Harold finally broke it. "You know it. Farewell!" Harold waved to him, trying to smile despite the departure of what was basically the sweetest contestant on the show.
"Why do you still have your tinfoil hat on then?" DJ asked him, pointing at the silly hat on top of Harold's head.
"Curse vibes, don't wanna let the alien curses get to my brain! So see you! Seriously, please go dude, this thing is super uncomfortable." Harold told him, killing any attempt of making DJ feel better about this.
DJ sighed and now stood in front of the door, looking down and making himself nearly pee his pants in fright. "I d-don't wanna jump! I can't!" DJ cried out, putting his hands over his eyes and cowering.
He wouldn't have to jump though, as a rat scurried right near his feet and made him trip, making him fall right out the plane. "MAAAAMAAAAAAAAAAAA!" DJ screamed as he plummeted out of the plane.
"Man, sucks to be DJ." Duncan chuckled, having been there the whole time and now watching DJ fall out of the plane.
Chris brought him over a parachute next, pushing it into Duncan's arms. "Sucks for you too, since this is your stop!" Chris told him, doing a quick salute.
Duncan looked both surprised and angry hearing this, now pushing Chris's chest with his finger aggressively. "Yeah right, you're supposed to give me a ride home remember?" Duncan reminded him, since he had quit the competition instead of being eliminated.
Chris pretended to not know what he was talking about, scratching his head. "Yeah... about that, that's the other way, and we're going this other way. So... it kinda doesn't work, so... see ya!" Chris quickly shoved Duncan out of the plane before he could protest.
Duncan yelled as he plummeted as well, although Team Victory didn't have to hear much of it as Chris closed the door and grinned at the rest of them for a moment before looking at the camera. "Well that was our first elimination ceremony! Will Team Victory be able to prove themselves worthy of their name next time? Or will they all plummet one by one? Find out next time, on Total, Drama, Wooooooooorld Tour!" he did the outro, raising his arms with each of the last few words.
-Confessional: Alejandro-
"Perhaps DJ could have been useful, but Ezekiel is a much more gullible fellow, which just makes him that much easier to put under my control. None of them know a thing about me, not even Total Drama's biggest fangirl. That's right, I'm going all the way to the end. Just you watch."

Yes, Ezekiel made it through the first elimination! This was something I had been thinking up for a while, and now I'm finally writing this as my in between project between episodes of Total Drama Revenge of the Cruise Ship, which I would appreciate if you all checked out and supported it. I always wondered why no one tried to vote off DJ in World Tour despite the curse he obviously had when everyone was so quick to vote out Beth in Island. Sure Harold quit when they tried to, but his curse was just ignored then on like with Bridgette and LeShawna's eliminations. So where do you all think this schism in the TDWT timeline will go? Will Ezekiel's escape from elimination all be for naught? More importantly, how will Team Victory affect the plot now that the curse is off their backs? Please be sure to leave a review and let me know what you think of this concept and what you hope for! The next chapter will be much much longer than this one, since the whole episode will be rewritten now that Ezekiel is here. See you all next time!
