Disclaimer: I don't own Total Drama or any of the characters. The only thing I own are my OC's, the challenges, and thats pretty much it.
Chris McLean is wearing his standard outfit, except he also has a military issue helmet on his head. He smiles brightly and says, "Last time on Total Drama High School, the competitors went on a scavenger hunt to find props that vaguely had something to do with history. We learned that Gwen and Heather might not have been so different, as each girl kept at least one other competitor from finishing the challenge. Zeke slipped on some water and Alexander took a nap. We even learned that both Mikey and Megan have a secret crush. In the end, our slacker Alexander was sent home. Will Courtney learn of Gwen's treachery? Will we learn of anyone's crush? Will any of the contestants, except for Bridgette and Geoff, kiss? Will Owen get a pay cut for poorly hiding objects? Find out the answers to most of these questions right now on Total Drama High School!"
The bus stopped near the main entrance and Chef opened the doors. He grumbled and said, "Get off the bus! Hurry up, I want my paycheck!" Not wanting to upset the army chef, the contestants exited the bus and got close to the front entrance.
Chris was standing outside the doors smiling, still wearing the army helmet. Geoff saw this and happily shouted, "War challenge! I so totally wanted to be in the war challenge on TDA. Now I can be in a war challenge!"
Bridgette wrapped her arms around her boyfriend and said, "What, the paintball challenge on TDI didn't count?"
Geoff scratched his head underneath his hat and said, "Oh yeah, I forgot about that."
Chris, upset that he hadn't gotten a single word in yet, said, "Guys, pay attention to me!"
"That's right I forgot, our entire lives revolve around you," Noah said sarcastically.
Chris shouted, "You're damn right it does!"
Noah rolled his eyes and said, "That was sarcasm, genius."
Chris scowled and said, "Fine, let's just get this challenge over with. Guys go to the gym. Girls go to the band room. Each team has an assistant who will go more in depth with the challenge."
Restroom Confessional
Heather: Seriously Chris, a battle of the sexes? I'm pretty sure you paired me up with Weird Goth Girl, the psycho hose beast and the C.I. Don't Care just to piss me off. If I could I would kill you. Then again, who doesn't want to kill Chris?
Team Dudes
The eleven remaining males walked into the gym, not expecting much. They were wondering who the assistant could be. Many assumed it would be either Duncan or Owen, as they were Chris' interns. They walked over to the desk that was set up against the back wall. The desk had a couple computers and what looked like headsets. Next to the desk was a rack of vests and guns. Mikey and Cody smiled as they had guessed what the challenge was to be. They got closer to the desk and were completely shocked when they noticed that Alexander was sitting behind the desk. He looked at the eleven guys and said, "Yo, what's up?"
Restroom Confessional
DJ: Yeah, lets just say that seeing Alexander after he was eliminated yesterday was a bit of a surprise.
The Hispanic slacker grinned at the team in front of him. He began explaining the challenge, saying, "Well, you already know that today's challenge is a war. It will not just be any war though. You will be playing Laser Tag. Each competitor has a vest, laser gun, and a headset that will allow you to communicate with each other and myself. Don't worry about the girls learning of any surprise tactic you may have planned, because each team has their own encoded channel. It would take some kind of computer genius to scramble the girls encoding signal, or something like that. Anyways, I am here to help direct you all. I can warn you of approaching enemies, at least sometimes. I can tap into about half of the security cameras, and the girls can tap into the other half. At times I can see you, and other times I can't. When you get hit, your gun will deactivate for five seconds and you cannot be shot at during those five seconds. If you are hit five times, you are out, and your vest will weigh you down. [1] After you become inactive, wait for one of the interns to free you. You can then report to the Cafeteria, which is off limits to the players still in the challenge, or join me. The team with one player standing wins. The losing team will have to vote someone off. Good luck!"
Team Ladies
When the girls entered the band room, they found Leshawna. Courtney looked a little nervous, but it went unnoticed by most. They were told the same instructions as the boys. When Leshawna finished instructing her team, they were given a few minutes to strategize. Gwen walked up to her friend and said, "Leshawna, you read to lead us to victory?"
Leshawna smirked and said, "You know I am, girl. Don't really want to work with those two, but what am I going to do?" When Leshawna said this, she pointed to Heather and Courtney.
Gwen smirked and said, "You could always not give instructions to Courtney and Heather."
"Maybe you're right, but I gotta try to help the gals win," Leshawna responded.
Restroom Confessional
Courtney: Yeah, Leshawna may think she can lead us, but she was never a CIT. I plan on doing what I think is the right move.
Heather: Like I'll listen to that rapper wannabe. I'm doing this my way.
Chris' voice rang out over the loudspeaker system and said, "Is everyone ready for a war of a life time? Just so everyone has some extra motivation, the winners get to go to an expensive hotel tonight instead of our crappy little motel. With that, good luck and let the lasers fly!"
Team Dudes
Before they left, Joseph pulled everyone aside and said, "Guys, I'm going to place you into teams so that nobody gets attacked without backup. Now, I thought over these choices for a while and I believe that they will be the most beneficial. First of all, Zeke, you are with me. Noah, you should work with William. Cody, you would work well with Nicholas, I believe. Mikey, due to your welcoming personality, you are in the group of three along with Trent and Danny. That leaves DJ and Geoff, who should work well due to their friendship." Everyone on the team agreed to the arrangements.
Restroom Confessional
Joseph: I determined the teams so that I could ideally control the vote should we lose. Zeke is so desperate that he will vote with me, Noah can easily get William's vote, and through Noah I can also get Cody's and Nicholas' votes. It's foolproof, and working with Zeke and William, there are plenty of fools.
After the challenge began, the girls left the band room and fanned out, forming several small groups. Gwen and Bridgette were one group, Jennifer, Emily, and Megan were a second group, and Jessie and Julie were a third group. Izzy, Courtney, Heather, and Rebecca were working by themselves.
Leshawna glanced at her various monitors and noticed one person heading toward two of the enemy. Leshawna shouted into her headset, "Rebecca, what are you doing? You gonna get trampled out there! Fall back and regroup!"
The anime nerd smirked to herself as she dashed down the hall and said, "No way Leshawna. If I learned anything from the second major plot arc of Naruto, the only ones who can save the day are those that work with as few people as possible. How else did the hidden leaf village manage to repel Orochimaru?"
Leshawna looked dumbfounded as she tried to comprehend what Rebecca just said and responded, "Okay, two things. First of all, I have no idea what the hell you just said. Secondly, that might work for someone like Izzy, but I don't think you could pull it off." Leshawna noticed the enemies had turned around and were now heading toward Rebecca. She shouted, "Rebecca, you gotta get out of there now! Two guys are inbound!"
The two males who were about to reach Rebecca were Joseph and Zeke. "She's just around this corner. You two can take her," Alexander said into his headset.
The two guys turned the corner just as Rebecca responded to Leshawna's instructions. Before she knew what had happened, she was shot by Joseph. She started to jump off of the lockers back and forth across the hallway. When her gun reactivated, she shot Zeke once before Joseph shot her again. Leshawna called out to Rebecca, "Don't be a hero Rebecca! Get out of there and regroup."
The two guys saw her retreat as she shot Joseph once and she was shot a third time. "Don't just stand there, follow her," they heard Alexander say. The two looked at each other, nodded, and dashed down the hall, attempting to catch up with the fast anime nerd.
Restroom Confessional
Rebecca: Well, maybe Leshawna was right. I wasn't expecting the ambush. What would happen next though, let's just say that it surprised me.
Leshawna: (She sighs) Rebecca, you would not be good in the army.
Alexander was discussing a strategy with four people, saying, "Well, Rebecca will join the two there momentarily. Wait for her arrival and then unleash hell while Joseph and Ezekiel to catch up. The six of you should be able to easily stop the three of them." The four people he was talking to all agreed followed by one giving a thumbs-up to another.
Meanwhile, Rebecca continued her mad escape, and she eventually caught up with Jessie and Julie. Then Leshawna's voice said, "Watch out y'all, I think Noah and William are nearby."
Just as she said this, the pair jumped out from behind a corner and fired off numerous shots. While they did this, Geoff and DJ, who were the other two Alexander had talked to, joined the fray. Geoff shot at the girls and DJ stood his ground in the middle of the hall while the other three stood behind him and fired away. Noah yelled, "DJ, why aren't you shooting them?"
The gentle giant said, "I can't shoot anybody. I'm too nice to." Noah face palmed as he continued to open fire at the girls. The three rookie girls could barely get a single hit on the boys, because DJ continually blocked the shots coming from the girls.
After they had been hit quite a few times, Leshawna called out, "There's no way you can fight them! Try to escape!" The three prepared to depart when their escape route became blocked.
"Well, well, it looks like I finally found you Rebecca," Joseph taunted as he shot Rebecca for the final time and Zeke joined the fray. Not too long afterwards, Julie and DJ fell at the same time. Noah then got the kill shot for Jessie as she fell to the ground.
Alexander looked at his screens and said, "Great job guys. I can see that William and Noah received only one hit each. Good job. Zeke, you aren't looking too good however. Geoff, you and Joseph have only been hit twice." The five guys shared a round of high fives. Alexander urgently responded, "Get out of there now! Izzy is inbound! I repeat Izzy is inbound!" They prepared to leave when Izzy showed up, thirsting for blood.
Restroom Confessional
DJ: I know that being a shield isn't really helpful in a war challenge, but it's against my nature to shoot others. I'm just glad I didn't have to deal with Izzy.
Joseph: Well then, I believe that DJ is the next to go. After all, he didn't want to shoot anybody with a laser gun. Honestly, what's the worst that could happen? They get shot in the eye and are temporarily blinded? I don't see why he should stay.
Izzy and the five guys, some of whom had been hit, stood waiting for the end to start. Noah and William, who were close to the wall, slowly moved toward it until they made a break for safety. Izzy noticed this and shouted out, "The hunt begins!" She opened fire while Geoff, Joseph, and Ezekiel shot back, also trying to escape. No matter how hard they tried, Izzy could not be hit by any laser. Joseph noticed Ezekiel in front of him, and pushed the home-schooled teen at Izzy. The overachiever then grabbed Geoff and ran off with the party boy, while Izzy dealt with Zeke. Just to be sure that Ezekiel would be taken care of, Joseph shot Zeke once in the back as he escaped. Alexander said to Joseph through the headset, "Not a bad way to escape, but did you really have to push Zeke?"
Joseph responded into his microphone, "I dunno. Why do you ask?"
As his teammates escaped, Zeke fell into Izzy. The psychopathic redhead then whispered into the prairie boy's ear, "Oh, Zeke, you should know I'm with Owen. I'm not sure how he would feel about this."
Ezekiel, confused as always, shifted so that he could see what had happened. He at first couldn't see his hands, but they were touching something soft. He then noticed that his hands were resting on Izzy's breasts. He freaked out and fell onto the ground. Izzy jumped into the air and landed where she just was as Ezekiel had fallen. She laughed and said, "Zeke, stop it. You know I'm with Owen."
Still confused, Zeke looked up after falling on the ground and saw that he was looking right up Izzy's skirt. "I'm so soory, eh! I didn't mean to! Doon't hurt me," Zeke said as he tried to apologize to the only girl who had truly forgiven him.
She laughed again and said, "Don't worry, this sorta thing happens all the time with a crazy girl like me! It's a good thing I decided to put panties on this morning though." Ezekiel though of a mental image and he immediately fell unconscious. Izzy looked down at him and said, "Oh well, it was fun talking to him. Now to find more prey!" She shot the unconscious prairie boy. As Izzy dashed away, she cackled, "Imma firn mah lazor!" [2]
Cody and Nicholas were slowly walking around an area where Alexander had said there were a few girls nearby. They heard laughing and slammed against the wall in order to better hide themselves. Nicholas, being closer to the wall, slowly looked around the corner and saw Jennifer, Emily, and Megan. He motioned for Cody to slowly retreat and he followed. When Nicholas thought they were a safe distance away, he radioed for help. He asked, "Alexander, come in. Cody and I just found three girls and are wondering if we should intercept."
The slacker looked at one of his monitors and said, "Give me a second. I will contact Joseph and Geoff, who are nearby, to assist."
"Roger that, we will wait for backup," Nicholas responded. Cody and Nicholas then watched each others backs as they waited for their reinforcements. Geoff and Joseph soon showed up, both of who were visibly shaking.
Cody noticed this and asked in a hushed whisper, "What happened to you guys?"
Geoff shook slightly as he muttered a single word, "Izzy."
"Well, three girls are nearby. We should attack them now. I was thinking-," Nicholas was interrupted as he was shot in the back. It caught him off guard and, while attempting to face his attackers, he fell to his knees.
Geoff loudly exclaimed, "Go time dudes!" The three active males leapt into action, figuratively and literally, as Geoff jumped over the kneeling Nicholas. Joseph, quickly shot Emily and Jennifer but was then shot be Megan. Cody responded by shooting Megan. The tech geek aimed his gun at another target but he hesitated when he realized the barrel was aimed at Emily. Cody stood there as Emily shot him, mouthing the words "I'm sorry."
Restroom Confessional
Emily: (The dancer sighs) I feel bad about shooting Cody. I wouldn't have if Courtney and Heather were on a different team. Those two care about winning so much that if you didn't do everything in your power to win, you would be eliminated.
Cody: (He shrugs) I hope Emily doesn't feel bad about shooting me. I don't want her to get eliminated because of me. That would make me feel bad. Now, why I didn't shoot her? Well, that's because it could ruin my chances with her if I shot her.
Joseph: Well that was interesting, Cody couldn't shoot Emily. I could use this against him. In the end, I will still get rid of DJ.
Nicholas quickly stood up after Geoff shot him and shouted into his microphone, "Alexander, it's your time to shine. Keep an eye out for any other approaching girls and warn us, alright?"
"You got it bro," the slacker replied. The mechanic then shot over Cody's shoulder and struck Emily in the shoulder sensor. Geoff and Joseph were hit by the girls as they continued to defend themselves.
Cody shot Megan once, who then said to her teammates, "One more hit and I'm done for. Cover my escape."
"No problem," was heard through her headset. Megan was confused but she ran off anyways. Suddenly, Izzy appeared out of nowhere. Geoff and Joseph fled instantly.
She laughed almost evilly and said, "Now it is time for you all to be eliminated!" She fired rapidly at Cody and Nicholas, the former of which was running away as fast as his scrawny legs would carry him. Nicholas, ignorant as to the power of Izzy, was confused as to why he was abandoned so quickly. He turned around to see Izzy right up in his face, her gun pointing at his chest. She smirked in victory and shot Nicholas at point-blank, eliminating the mechanic.
"Retreating target inbound," Alexander alerted Noah and William, who were quietly waiting in the shadows of a doorway. They heard someone running their way.
"Time to get one step closer to ending this," Noah said.
William nodded and said, "You got that right." The duo took up positions in the hallway as Megan turned the corner and saw them blocking her escape. She was then shot and eliminated.
Restroom Confessional
Megan: Well that was a surprise. I didn't expect the guys to be all over me. (Goes wide-eyed as she realizes what she said) You realize what I meant by that, right?
"Oh man," Leshawna complained as she was busy searching her screens, "This could not be any worse!" Rebecca, Jessie, Julie, and Megan had joined her and were helping devise strategies to assist the remaining girls.
"I got it," Rebecca said out loud, "We get either a giant multi-headed snake or a giant toad and have them attack the remaining guys!" [3] Everyone looked at her like she was crazy, and she responded, "What?"
Leshawna rolled her eyes and said, "Let's think of something that is actually doable." Just then Gwen contacted Leshawna.
The Goth said, "Leshawna, a couple guys are running away. Is it safe to pursuit?"
Leshawna looked at her screens for a moment and when everything appeared to be safe, she excitedly said, "Go get them girl!"
Gwen and Bridgette were chasing after Geoff, Joseph, and Cody. The three guys weren't trying to get anywhere, except as far from Izzy as possible. As the two veteran girls were chasing after the boys, Cody's lack of a fine-tuned cardio started to catch up with him. He started to slow down as the gap between him and the girls shortened. When Bridgette and Gwen reached him, Cody weakly said, "Hey girls." He then dropped his gun and held is hands up in the air.
Gwen lowered her weapon slightly and asked, "Wait, are you surrendering?"
The scrawny tech geek nodded and said, "Yeah, I know when I'm beat. I could never stand up to you, well without backup anyways."
Bridgette then said, "Well, we still have to shoot you, you know that right?"
Cody sighed before responding, "Unfortunately, yes I do understand. Can't blame me for trying right?" Just then, Izzy ran by, cackling madly, and shot Cody one final time, eliminating him. The tech geek then shouted, "Oh come on! I surrender and still get eliminated! What the hell?"
Gwen then said to the now downed tech geek, "I'm sorry it had to happen this way. We gotta go." Gwen and Bridgette then dashed away, following Izzy.
Courtney turned off her headset at the very beginning of the challenge. She was using her hearing to tell if anyone was coming. She silently made her way around the school and stopped when she heard something. She heard ridiculously loud screaming from across the school, which could only mean one thing – Geoff. He was the only contestant, as far as she could tell, who could be that loud. She readied herself behind a corner and waited. Geoff's screaming was becoming louder and louder. He was getting closer to her and she tensed up, awaiting his approach. As soon as the party boy turned the corner and headed toward Courtney, Alexander called out, "Not that way you idiot! Courtney is waiting to defeat you!" His warning was inaudible to Geoff, as his panicked shouting nullified all sound. Courtney then swung her gun outward and tripped Geoff, the party boy becoming sprawled out on the ground. The CIT stood over him and he looked up in fear. She quickly shot Geoff, eliminated him. As this happened, Geoff hoped that Joseph would be able to escape.
Joseph was not doing better than Geoff. In fact, it was much worse for him. Joseph tried numerous times to elude his pursuers, but his attempts were in vain. The overachiever thought back as to how he got into this mess.
Four and a Half minutes ago…
Joseph and Geoff lost Cody to the girls and they continued to run. They reached a major crossroads and Joseph said, "Quick, run that way. When they get near, I will run in the opposite direction while saying 'Wait for me, Geoff.' It should cause them to follow me."
"But dude, isn't that like, suicide," Geoff asked.
Joseph looked down and said, "It's the only way. Now go!" Geoff ran off while saying a quick "Good Luck!" Joseph waited for footsteps and then ran down the hallway, yelling, "Wait up Geoff!"
Bridgette and Gwen heard this and dashed after him. The duo met up with Izzy, who was drawing on a piece of paper. Gwen approached the psycho and said, "What are you doing Izzy?"
Izzy looked up and noticed Gwen and said, "Gwen! Oh, and Bridgette too! Perfect! I need the two of you to quickly cut off two hallways up ahead. This leads to a three-way intersection, so if the two of you block the other paths, I can seal off this path and we can take out Joseph!"
"Sounds like a plan, lets do this," Gwen said while smirking.
This lead to the past minute or so, in which the crazy war machine known as Izzy had chased Joseph, determined to catch the overachiever. Joseph turned a corner in an attempt to lose his chaser, but ran into Gwen. He backed up and then turned around to see Bridgette blocking his only avenue of escape. Joseph then noticed Izzy caught up, completely sealing him off. He looked at the three girls and then uttered a mighty war cry of "For Victory!" He was then shot at by all three of the girls and he was quickly eliminated from the challenge.
The five remaining males heard a call echo through their headsets. It was Alexander, and he said, "Guys, there are only five of you left. Meet over by the woodshop so that you can formulate a strategy or something."
The five, who were Mikey, Trent, Danny, William, and Noah, all met at the woodshop room. They were silent for a while, until Mikey broke the silence. He said, "What are we gonna do to beat the girls?"
"We need a plan of some sort in order for us to succeed," Danny added.
Noah rolled his eyes and said, "No duh, Sherlock." The honorable teen narrowed his eyes for a moment at the know-it-all.
It remained quiet for another moment before Mikey spoke up again, "Well, I suppose we could use a strategy I employ in Halo with my friends over Xbox Live. See, what we do is we have at least three of us engage some girls in a head-on attack. While that is going on, those of us not in the attack must execute a sneak attack on the girls."
Noah, who had been listening to the purported plan carefully, said, "Well, it's risky, but it's the only plan we got. I assume that you will be in the sneak attack?"
The gamer smiled and said, "You know it, my smart friend. Now, who will accompany me, assuming that two people partake in the sneak attack?"
"It cannot be me, for that is not honorable. I would normally not condone this behavior, but seeing how things stack up against us, it may be our only option," Danny responded.
William scratched the back of his head and had a sheepish grin on his face as he said, "Yeah, I'm probably too loud to help you when it comes to stealth. Sorry dude."
"I will volunteer for this mission," Noah offered.
"Glad to have your assistance," Mikey remarked.
"Come in guys," Alexander called in, "Heather is arguing with Emily and Jennifer. They are distracted so this would be an ideal time for a sneak attack."
"Gotcha, where are they," Trent inquired. Alexander then relayed the directions to the group and they moved out, ready to make a comeback.
On the second floor, not too far off from where the science department was located, Heather was arguing with Emily and Jennifer. "Heather, why don't you help us, it will make it easier for all of us, plus it would make you look like someone worth keeping around," Emily reasoned.
Heather scoffed and said, "Yeah, like I would help two rookies."
Danny loudly called out, "For Honor!"
Trent called out equally loud, "For Music!"
William yelled louder than the others, "For my Sanity!"
Jennifer shook her head and said, "Heather, you don't have much of a choice. Abandonment is the same as treason."
"What, are we in the army now," Heather mocked.
Emily then said, "It might as well be, we are in a war challenge!"
The three girls took fighting stances, ready to combat the trio of incoming boys. The three ran into sight, their guns blazing. Emily, light on her feet from being a dancer, was able to dodge the lasers. Heather was also able to dodge some lasers, due to her short-lived dancing career. Jennifer tried her best to dodge the shots that flew at her. Trent was holding his own when he noticed he hit Jennifer. He looked panicked for a moment and yelled out, "Sorry!"
She smiled and said, "Its okay, I could forgive you of almost anything!"
Danny said to his teammates, "Damn these girls are harder to shoot than I thought. Where the hell is Noah and Mikey?"
Noah and Mikey were currently sneaking through a hallway that paralleled the hallway that the fight was taking place in. Noah was walking slowly next to a cardboard box that was moving along the ground. Inside the cardboard box was Mikey, who was attempting to use the box for camouflage. "Mikey there is no way somebody will fall for that disguise, except for Lindsay maybe," Noah said in a cynical whisper, "So stop acting like Solid Snake and get out from under there."
"Not until the time is right," Mikey responded. The two continued moving in silence until they were positioned behind the girls. Mikey then emerged from the box and loudly said, "Kept you waiting, huh." [4]
The three girls turned around, completely caught off guard by the tactic. Mikey and Noah immediately shot at the girls. Heather noticed the disadvantage that she was in and so she shot William a fifth time, so that he slumped over defeated. The queen bee then pushed Jennifer into Trent and Danny. Heather dashed off while this happened. Danny saw this and gave chase shouting, "Get back here you damned dishonorable she-witch!"
Trent caught the falling performing artist. She looked up dreamily into his eyes and he looked back into her eyes until he felt Jennifer get heavier. Trent held onto his love interest as long as possible until he couldn't and gently placed her onto the floor. Noah then lowered his gun and said, "Now if you are done Romeo, we must locate our warrior friend."
Trent rolled his eyes at Noah's comment and said, "You're right, we should find Danny." Noah, Trent, and Mikey then ran in the direction that Danny had run off to.
Emily tried to reposition herself so she could face her fellow rookies and she then said, "I totally think Trent likes you, Jennifer."
William agreed and said, "Yeah, I could tell the look in his eyes. It was if he had seen a goddess."
Jennifer then blushed slightly and said, "I think he might, I would like that. I could tell from earlier that Cody's got some feelings for you. I mean he didn't shoot you at all."
"I kinda hope so. Jennifer, let's agree to try to get together with our crushes by the end of the season," the dancer replied.
Jennifer smiled and said, "Definitely."
Trent, Mikey, and Noah were running down the hall when they saw two downed figures. Upon closer inspection it was revealed that they were Danny and Heather. Mikey looked on and said, "Oh my god, what the hell happened?"
Danny groaned and said, "Izzy happened. I was gaining on the queen bee here and about to go for the kill shot when I hear this demonic war cry. Izzy raced through and shot off lasers in all directions, resulting in the elimination of both Heather and myself."
Noah then commented, "Damn, Izzy is really destroying out here."
"If we lose, I am so getting rid of that psycho hose-beast! I can't believe she was crazy enough to shoot her own teammate," Heather griped.
"Just shut up Heather," a whiny voice said, "Izzy took me down and you don't hear me bitching about it."
Heather scoffed and said, "Which is a first for you, Courtney. You normally complain about everything!"
"Don't make me vote for you, Heather," Courtney threatened.
"Like I'm scared of you," Heather replied.
Noah rolled his eyes in disgust and said to Mikey and Trent, "Come on guys, let's leave these two to argue and find us some remaining targets.
Alexander then called in and said, "Just got in the latest statistics, and it's all tied up. Fortunately, Gwen and Bridgette are nearby. Unfortunately, Izzy is out there somewhere."
Mikey responded, "Roger that. We are on our way."
Restroom Confessional
Mikey: To be honest, I'm surprised the sneak attack strategy worked. It rarely works in Halo, due to radars and such.
Noah: I have to give Mikey some credit. His gaming strategy saved us. However, if I had enough time, I could've thought of a better strategy.
Izzy: So Izzy sees three people running at each other. So Izzy asks her friend E-scope to help her. E-scope shoots everybody at the intersection and then leaves. Izzy thinks E-scope hit Courtney, but its okay 'cause Izzy is gonna win this!
Courtney: Stupid Izzy with her stupid craziness and this stupid game, and it's all because of stupid contracts that that stupid host Chris came up with because his stupid mind thinks it's funny if he torments teenagers. It's so stupid.
After a minute of traveling, the boys engage Gwen and Bridgette. The shoot-out begins anew for the boys, having been barely five minutes since their last skirmish. Noah and Bridgette were eliminated almost simultaneously. Mikey noticed Trent wasn't shooting Gwen at all and so he said, "Trent, what the hell are you doing? You have to shoot Gwen."
"I suppose you're right. Forgive me Gwen," Trent muttered as he eliminated Gwen.
Restroom Confessional
Trent: I don't know what to say. I didn't want to shoot Gwen because of our past relationship, yet at the same time I had no excuse. I'm a mess, aren't I?
Gwen: Trent had better realize that he can be competitive with me. We aren't dating and fine with just being friends. Someone will probably use Trent if he continues to find working against me difficult.
The gamer wiped some sweat off of his forehead and pushed some of his dark brown hair out of his eyes. He looked at Trent and said, "So now only Izzy remains."
Trent nodded and said, "Yeah, we are so screwed."
As if fate meant it to be, Izzy arrived, ready to fight the two remaining guys. The psychotic female started to shoot madly at the guys. It took all of their skill to avoid her shots. On the other hand, Izzy was dodging Mikey and Trent's shots like they were nothing. Izzy eventually wore Trent down and he fell to the ground, eliminated.
Now only Mikey stood for the boys. "So it comes down to this," Mikey said as he faced his opponent.
Izzy nodded and said, "Yep, but now you will fall." The one-on-one shooting commenced.
Mikey soon realized that only one more hit would eliminate him, so he charged the crazy girl. He tripped her with his gun and shot her once. This would later be recorded as one of the biggest mistakes of the season. Izzy leapt back up and hit Mikey with her gun, sending him flying into the wall. He hit the wall hard and fell to the ground, unconscious. Izzy said, "I'm sorry it had to end this way," and shot Mikey one final time, ending the war.
After the weights on the packs had deactivated and all of the incapacitated contestants, except Mikey, who was still unconscious, had gotten up, the loudspeaker crackled with life. Chris' voice said, "For the most part, that was the most epic fight I have ever seen, on a reality show at least. There's no way you could beat the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan." [5]
Chef's voice was also heard, as he said, "Of course not, pretty boy. A bunch of teenagers can't match a cinematic masterpiece! Also, where the hell is my paycheck?"
Chris stammered momentarily before responding, "Um, we can figure that all out later, Chef. Anyways congrats girls, you all win immunity, as well as the trip to the hotel. Now, elimination is in about an hour, and would somebody please take Mikey to the nurse's office and make sure he's, you know, not dead. I can't handle another lawsuit after Courtney's last season. McLean out!"
In the nurse's office, Mikey was being checked for injuries by a female intern in a nurse's outfit. Suffice to say, it was better than having Chef in a nurse's outfit. The intern wrote a few things down and exited the room. At his bedside were Megan, Geoff, Bridgette, Noah, and Trent. He started to stir and moaned as he opened his eyes, "Oh, what happened?"
Noah replied, "Nothing."
Mikey raised an eyebrow and said, "Really?" [6]
Trent said, "No, Izzy slammed you into the wall and you fell unconscious. How do you feel?"
"Like crap. I have a headache and my back hurts." The female intern then walked in a placed a cup on the bedside table.
She smiled and pushed some of her light brown hair out of the way of her hazel eyes and said, "Glad to see you're awake. That was a pretty hard hit you had. Nothing too serious, at most a rib might be broken, so you gotta get some rest today and take it easy the next couple of challenges. It should be healed enough for more strenuous stuff in about five days. There are a couple painkillers in that cup if the pain starts getting to you. Oh, and you can leave. Just be wary that the elimination is in about twenty minutes. You were out cold for forty-five minutes." With that the intern left the room again.
"Look, guys I have some business to attend to before the elimination so I will see you later," Noah said as he got up and left.
Mikey looked up at Geoff and Trent and said, "Can you guys get DJ and bring him here? I want to discuss the elimination with the three of you."
"Sure thing Dude," Geoff said.
Trent replied, "No problem."
This left Mikey alone with the girls. Bridgette broke the uneasy silence and said, "You know, it was pretty stupid of you to try and trip Izzy. Look at what happened to you because of it!"
"I know it was a mistake. The glory of winning took over my mind and I end up hospitalized, kinda, because of it," Mikey solemnly replied.
Megan walked over and hugged him, saying, "Don't worry, at least you weren't hurt too badly."
The gamer winced and said, "But tight hugs hurt a little."
The nice girl pulled away, blushing, and replied, "Sorry, I didn't mean for it to hurt."
"It's okay, no harm done," Mikey said with a slight smile. At this moment Geoff and Trent came back in with DJ. Mikey noticed this and said, "I don't mean to be rude, but is it all right if the four of us talk about elimination in private?" Bridgette and Megan nodded and proceeded to leave the room. As they left, Megan looked over at Bridgette who merely shrugged her shoulders. This left the four friends alone in the room. "I gathered you all here so we could discuss who to eliminate," Mikey said, "The person I am thinking of is not very useful and is not seen to be of any help in the coming challenges. The person who I am thinking of is…"
Noah, who had left Mikey's room in the nurse's office a few minutes earlier, had already conferred with Joseph. Their feeling was mutual as to who they wanted to eliminate. Noah had approached Cody and said, "Cody, I need a favor."
"Sure, what do ya need," the tech geek asked.
"I would like you and Nicholas to vote for someone," Noah replied.
Cody shrugged and said, "Well, who did you have in mind?"
Noah responded, "I would like for you to vote for…"
Joseph approached another one of the male contestants. He asked the mystery contestant, "Can you help me in the vote?"
The person said, "I suppose. Who were you thinking of?"
"I was thinking of voting for DJ. All he did was act as a shield during the challenge, and therefore did not help to attain our goal. He never fired a single laser," Joseph replied.
"That is not right. I will help you," the mystery contestant said.
Joseph smiled somewhat darkly and said, "That is just what I wanted to hear."
The P.A. system then came to life and Chris said, "Boys, it's time to vote! Also, I need everybody in the auditorium for the elimination, as I have a special announcement. See you in ten!"
Restroom Confessional
Joseph: I regret that it had to end this way, but DJ has got to go.
Mikey: Truth be told, I don't think you are of much use Zeke.
Ezekiel: Noah's been pretty suspicious the past few challenges.
Every contestant was in the auditorium, sitting in various places. All of the guys were in the front rows. Bridgette was sitting behind Geoff, and Jennifer was sitting across the isle from Trent. Megan was in the front row since she was helping Mikey get around for the time being. Courtney and Izzy were near the back, along with their boyfriends, as even the interns decided to show up for some reason. Chris entered the auditorium and proceeded to stand by the podium. He cleared his throat and said, "Well, did everyone have fun today?" There was no response. Chris then said, "Well, my special announcement is that everyone, except the eliminated contestants is going to the hotel tonight!" Wild cheers were heard from everyone and Chris had to use his infamous air horn to get the rowdy teens to quiet down. When Chris saw that everybody had calmed down, he continued, "You see, as a result of someone's injury, I begged them not to sue. He promised not to on two conditions. The first was that everyone goes to the hotel tonight. The second thing was that the hotel is the lodging until he is healed." Everyone started to thank Mikey profusely until Chris had to use his air horn and megaphone in order to continue speaking. "Now then, everyone has voted. Mikey, you have a question?"
The gamer nodded and said, "Yeah, do you mind tossing my pass to me, my back is really sore."
Chris nodded and then said, "Whoever does not get a hall pass must immediately walk down the hall of shame, get on the bus of losers, and you can never come back. EVER!" Some of the people who had yet to go to an elimination ceremony cringed at this statement. Chris resumed speaking, "Hall passes go to Mikey, Trent, Geoff, Nicholas, Joseph, Cody, William, and Danny. The second to last hall pass goes to..."

"Noah! DJ, Zeke, this is the final hall pass of the night. One of you will be leaving Total Drama High School. The final hall pass goes to…"

"Ezekiel!" The prairie boy looked surprised as he walked up to claim his hall pass.
DJ, however, slumped over in defeat. He mumbled, "I can see why you guys voted me off. I didn't help during the challenge. I guess I deserved this." The gentle giant got up and walked the hall of shame and got on the bus of losers along with Leshawna and Alexander.
Joseph was walking down the hall of the school to the bathroom before they departed for the hotel. "Another day, another person who doesn't suspect me is eliminated. Now to begin plotting my next move," the evil overachiever said while chuckling darkly.
Chris watched this unfold from a screen that was behind his desk in the principal's office. He then closed the show by saying, "Man that guy really works well for ratings! Well, in any event another day of Total Drama High School has come to a close. What events will occur during the next challenge? Will any relationships bloom? Will anyone figure out Joseph is evil? Find out the answers to all these questions, plus the most dramatic elimination yet, next time on Total Drama High School!"

Authors Note: Another chapter finished! Sorry it took so long, I became inspired and started a second story, Total Drama Zombieland. Check it out if you haven't yet. I'm going to finish chapter 2 of TDZ before rewriting chapter 4 of this story. Also, a push for me to finish this chapter came in the form of my first review for this story, so if you want me to write faster, please review. Also, let me know what you think of my OC's. Also, next chapter will have more interactions, which this chapter lacked. I was trying to focus on the action as this is one of the few chapters with action. By the way, I am accepting challenge ideas. The only requirement is that they must somehow tie into some aspect of school. If you can come up with a solid challenge about Biology, chances are I will use it! Just describe the challenge and if it is a team challenge or an individual challenge. Thanks for taking the time to read this!
