Writing this chapter (as predicted) was quite fun for me. I'm surprised I got it out only five days after the previous one. Responding to more reviews now.

That British Guy: I do feel Courtney would've been more likable in canon if less bitchy, though keep in mind that our CIT was the season 2 antagonist, which inherently meant she had to be mean then in order to play its villain.

Phenomenal Ultra Instinct: Really glad you like the story so much now and Lindsay's plan to vote off Duncan! The blonde is also one of my favorite females in Total Drama. Eliminating the delinquent last chapter was admittedly quite satisfying for me. Courtney's definitely got a plan for Boney Island, and she's waiting until Scott makes a move on her before they become a couple.

ShadowJcreed: While Duncan was often a jerk from the beginning, I didn't exactly hate him until he shamelessly cheated on Courtney during season 3. It made me lose all respect for the delinquent. That relationship was doomed from the start even if Duncan had stayed faithful, and he seemed more compatible with Gwen given their common interests and such, but the delinquent never deserved either girl to begin with. I have plans for Sam that you'll see in Chapter 8.

GlitchWarrior: Many thanks! You counted the episode difference correctly, though I wouldn't quite say people in the Total Drama universe as a whole hate Duncan as much as Ezekiel (he REALLY deteriorated in season 3 by going feral). Nice to know you also appreciate what I'm doing with Lindsay. The idol stays in the same place every time since Chris and Chef don't have the time, energy, or patience to keep relocating it.

TheSaneSierra: Your username is an oxymoron given how insane Total Drama's Sierra is :P. Anyway, Chris knows better than to send both a male and female off to Boney Island unsupervised (especially when Scott isn't 18 yet) as he doesn't want any M-rated activity going on there.

animefan1009: Nice to know you felt Duncan's elimination was a nice-change up from canon. Courtney will of course have more scenes with Scott (which I'm glad you enjoy), but they'll be after this chapter as she's now alone on Boney Island.

Story time!

With lots of time on my hands, I just might get that idol before sunrise. Where is that opening to that so-called Fun Zone? I turn on the big flashlight and wave it around to help see things. There it is! In case the cameras on this island are recording me, I first place my flashlight and rope down to rustle some bushes to avoid suspicion of already knowing the true location, peering into each and moving my arms about in them without hurting myself. Once I finish doing that, I head over to the big steel door and notice now that has some markings which weren't there when I first visited it.

The letters "DE" have been carved into the door, presumably for the initials of Duncan Ebert, who unquestionably made that when in exile last night. I hope to never see him again. Another difference this time is its windows are also smashed (he surely did that too), but those are too small for me to climb through. No way am I getting stuck in those! Good thing this rope is with me. Placing the flashlight down at an angle to give me light, I uncoil some rope and toss it up over the entrance.

Thankfully, enough rope falls through on the other side for me to grab through a broken window. I should probably secure its bases for when I climb in and out. Before grabbing that end, I go over and find two rocks. I then grab that tossed-over part of the rope and tie one rock to it before tying the other rock to the other end. It's a good thing I learned how to tie secure knots in my CIT experience! Now it's climbing time. Once I put the big flashlight through the window (too difficult to carry up while climbing the wall), I make my way over. With limited light, I'll mostly have to feel my way around. I grip tightly onto the rope with both hands and put my feet against the door to lift myself up. Here we go.

My journey to get over that wall is unsurprisingly a challenge, especially without much light. I'm amazed I even had enough rope for this! To avoid getting cut on window glass shards, I make slow steps up. It gets trickier once I reach a big roof-like log right above the door, having to make my way past that. Not daring to let go of the rope and risk falling, I instead hook one leg around to get it on top, and then do the same with my other. I use this to propel myself above the log and now the stone roof is within an arm's reach once I stand up straight. To stay safer, I release one hand from the rope and put it on the roof before placing the other on it.

Getting down should be easier, but I still must be careful of that TV monitor on the inside. Breaking that will raise suspicions. Luckily that flashlight shines enough light to show me where that is. Take it easy here, Courtney. Grabbing the rope again once on the roof, I slowly descend until I reach that monitor, placing both feet on top of it. So far so good. I then jump back a bit and make sure my feet never even touch the screen itself, instead touching part of the door. Watch for the window glass shards! I thankfully avoid those again while lowering myself, and safely land on the ground unharmed. Let the hunt begin.

Taking my big flashlight with me, I embark on one risky journey. I know this "Fun Zone" is even more dangerous at night than day, but I really don't want anybody else to get that idol before me, especially Mal. That would be big trouble. The sooner I find that nest with a fire-breathing mutant goat with wings and her eggs (the idol is inside one of those), the better. How do I get the mother goat away from them, though? In any case, with murky waters and mutant creatures throughout the area, I really need to watch my step! That flashlight better not die on me.

Looks like I'm about to find out how far away that nest is. If only the cameras showed how far Heather and Alejandro went from the entrance to get there. As I make my way through the area, I continue examining other parts of the area in case any cameras are watching me, but then soon realize they would be blinking if they were. Thank god for some privacy from Chris and the cast. Keeping my flashlight pointed at the ground so I can see my path, I'm determined to get that idol before anyone else, and should later call Heather out for lying about Alejandro targeting anyone other than her for elimination when we come here for the egg hunting challenge.

How the animals can sleep through all of this is beyond me. I'm probably fucked if any of them wake up now. Whenever possible, I opt to play it safe and walk along land instead of jumping across waters. After what feels like at least twenty minutes, I see the cliff with that egg containing the immunity idol. The bad news is that the mother goat is sleeping in her nest with the eggs presumably underneath. Reaching underneath is just too risky. Is killing that goat possible without waking anything else up? I hesitantly start climbing up the cliff, accidentally rumbling some rocks in the process with my feet. Shit! The goat wakes up and makes a "bah" sound.

She probably sees me! Without much thought, I pick up a rock and throw it behind the goat, thinking it'll distract her long enough for me to get the eggs. Hard to say which has the idol and which has a baby mutant goat. Mother goat turns towards the rock. Another noise is heard. Which of us woke something else? I shine my flashlight on some mutant flying three-eyed moose. At least this wasn't Larry the mutant Venus flytrap or some huge gopher. Mother goat breathes fire at that moose as they engage in some sort of battle, and I take the opportunity to snatch both goat eggs.

There's no way I can run with two eggs AND use my flashlight at the same time, so I smash one open in the nest and find the idol. Eureka! I grab that and stuff it in my pocket before taking the other egg (to avoid suspicion from others) and promptly start running before that goat can find me. Once I'm a safe distance away from her, I stop to catch my breath. I can't believe I fucking got the invincibility idol on my first try! Only Scott was ever able to find it so easily, and that was during season 4. It would blow everybody else's minds (including his) if they found out what I did to get this.

Unfortunately, there's no way I can tell anyone yet other than maybe Chris or Chef. This giant egg in the meantime might be edible enough for breakfast in the morning if I can find something to cook it with. Should the host ask how I found that idol, I'll tell him I took both eggs for cooking, and accidentally dropped one on my way which happened to contain it. Good thing the cameras in "Fun Zone" aren't operating right now or my lie would be exposed.

How can I hide that egg before its mother comes after me, though? Once I reach the steel door, I put it through a broken window and place that on the ground. Luckily it stays in one piece. I know this will hatch within a couple days, so I better cook it ASAP in the morning or throw that away. Placing the flashlight on the other side as well through the window, I grab the rope for climbing and make my way up to the top again. Like before, I go slowly to stay safe around broken window shards and this time the giant TV. Since it's much bigger than the log, I decide to climb around that instead of over it. Reaching the top of the stone wall, I take one hand from it to the roof at a time and pull myself to get on top.

Thankfully the log is still reachable. As I re-grab the rope while on the stone roof, I lower myself onto the log, and then jump back a bit to avoid hitting my face with it. I luckily touch the door with my feet before descending further. Avoiding the window glass shards, I safely land on the ground without hitting the egg or flashlight. Taking a big sigh of relief, I feel very accomplished; I successfully took the immunity idol AND an egg out from Fun Zone in one go without getting hurt at all! Believe it or not, I haven't said anything aloud since arriving on Boney Island, which was in case any cameras were recording me as I didn't want to risk them catching me talk about my time-travel.

Having the idol in my possession makes me feel quite accomplished! Hopefully I don't have to use it before the merge as that would leave me more vulnerable (unless of course I win solo victory in challenges). In the meantime, I need somewhere to sleep. Where did the others rest at night? If I wasn't afraid of the yeti Lindsay befriended, then I might ask him for help, but that would likely be a last resort. I untie the rope from its rocks, coil it up, and place that on my shoulder before taking the egg with me as I look for shelter. A cave comes up after what I would guess was ten minutes. Hopefully no bears or yetis live in there. Shining my flashlight inside, I inspect for any traces of animals, and find a sleeping bear. No good.

As I turn to exit the cave, I hear a growling. The bear woke up! I then start running as fast as I can out of the cave and don't stop or look back until I'm outside. Not letting myself become bear food tonight! Suddenly, I notice that my pocket feels much lighter. My immunity idol must've fallen out while running. Dammit! No way am I going in that cave again before morning or it'll surely attack me. To help myself find this cave again later, I take out my switchblade and carve an X on the outside.

Some other cave that's empty would be useful right about now. My big flashlight is unfortunately running low on battery. I turn that off to conserve its remaining energy and start using the small one from my pocket instead. Wow, I forgot how bright this little thing is, and should've used it earlier when climbing the rope! When morning comes, this rope could be useful for setting a trap or maybe grabbing that idol from a distance, though I still need something to lure that bear out from the cave in either case. Perhaps fish and/or berries would do the trick. As a last resort, I could kill it with my switchblade, though seriously hope it doesn't come down to that.

Out in the distance, I find another cave on Boney Island, and go over to inspect it. No animals are in there when I aim my flashlight inside! Seems like a fine spot for now. The only thing that irks me is some human skeleton bones. Some poor soul must've been eaten here a while ago. On the plus side, there is a big frying pan that person evidently brought in, which I can use for cooking food. I place my egg and big flashlight down before going to get some sticks for the morning. These will help me start a fire to cook the egg and might also serve as somewhat of a defense against yeti or bear attacks. I turn off my small flashlight and put that to the side along with my rope and switchblade before going to sleep. In the morning, I need to promptly eat and then get my immunity idol back.

I doubt any of you saw that twist coming with the idol. Courtney certainly didn't expect to lose it either! Chapter 8 probably will probably be released sometime next month (October) given my schedule outside of fanfiction.
