"Well great. That's it. This is the way I'll lose."
"Not yet, mister."
"Y-YOU!?"
"Y-you isn't my name. My name is Izzy. Nice to meet you!"
"IZZY? What are you doing here?"
"How do you know my name! Stalker! Help!" Izzy cried out.
"Izzy. Calm down. You should know me. We were on the same team on Total Drama Island."
"Hm." she wondered, looking up. "Nope! Wait, were you the homeschooled one?"
"What? Ezekiel wasn't even on our team!"
"In some universe he's a Gopher."
"Ha! Yeah, right! Anyways, I'm Cody! The one who got mauled by the bear!"
"Yeah, I know. You didn't have to yell at me!" she complained, rubbing her ears. Cody had a bewildered look on his face. "So, why are you under the boulder?"
"Chris shot a boulder and it slammed into me, trapping me under." Izzy nodded in response. "Alejandro was gonna help me, but he decided not to."
"Well, I can help you!" Izzy proudly said, picking up some random shovel.
"Where did you get that?"
"I stole it from Alejandro."
Izzy positioned the shovel. Cody was skeptical, but this was Izzy we're talking about. She plunged it right into the ground, inches away from Cody's face. Cody, like any sane person, flinched. Luckily, it missed him, and was wedged in between the boulder and the ground. Cody had know idea how she would lift the boulder. Miraculously, she summoned enough strength to lift the ginormous rock from were it was stuck. Cody slowly rolled out of his position as he laid on the ground.
He groaned as Izzy helped pull him up. "You look messy!" she noted. Cody did indeed look very messy. His hair was very tangled and out of place. His shirt was covered in dirt and had many tears in it. He was also covered in cuts from the boulder, plus bruises all around his body.
"Ha… yeah. Uh, Izzy?"
"Yes?" Izzy cocked her head.
"Why are you here?"
"Oh, Izzy wanted to help Cody."
"Me? Why me?"
"Izzy has noticed it is Cody against Duncan and Alejandro. Cody is unlikely to win, so he may have needed a little help. And Izzy was right!" the psycho boasted. They began walking and searching for oil.
"What about Alejandro? Didn't you think he was hot."
"Yeah, but he's evil. Everyone else is rooting for you!"
"Really? Everyone?"
"Well, not Heather or Geoff. But that's only because Geoff used to be Duncan's friends, plus you got Heather out."
"Wow, everybody wants me to win?"
"Yep! Especially Courtney!" she said. Cody choked on his own saliva due to the sudden mention of his crush.
"E-excuse me?"
"Courtney really wants you to win. She shows it. It would be cute if it wasn't Courtney."
"Hey, Courtney's cute." Izzy raised an eyebrow. "But- I- uhhhhhhhhh."
"I get it. You like Courtney."
"No, I-"
"Cody, I get it."
"Aw, man."
"Why?" Cody looked very confused. "Why do you like her?"
"Well, um… she's strong-willed. She's incredibly smart, not to mention very strong. She is tough and stubborn, but in a good way. She's also pretty hot- I mean beautiful. I said beautiful, not hot!" Cody defended, nearly reverting back to his old self for a second. He was also very worried that Courtney would watch that.
"Hm… well, you have solid reasons. You do you."
"So Izzy, what happened to Brainzilla?"
"Oh, Brainzilla's gone. For now."
"Oh. What happened?"
"Brainzilla was knocked on the head by a wheel? She almost fell into a pool of sharks!" Cody did not believe that for a second.
"Courtney likes you too." Cody froze.
"Excuse me?"
"Courtney likes you too!"
"H-how do you know that? This is Courtney we're talking about. She wouldn't share a secret like that, especially not to you." Cody noted.
"Courtney didn't tell Izzy. Izzy can tell. She accidently cheers whenever you win. She only pays attention when you're on. It's pretty obvious."
"I- uh, that doesn't mean she's into me."
"Gwen did that with Duncan in season 2. Harold has done that to Leshawna since season 1." Izzy said.
"Well, neither of those couples are still couple now."
"But Gwen and Leshawna hadn't really interacted with who they liked. You and Courtney have talked a lot."
"Not really a lot. She… kind of ignored me the first half of this season. Plus, we only bonded for about six episodes before she got eliminated. There's no way she likes me. It's just that ever since she got eliminated, the people left in the game annoyed her." Cody said.
"C'mon Cody! Who wouldn't like you?"
"Courtney. Gwen. All the girls in my school."
"Hmm, not a good question. But trust me, she likes you. You have a lot of great qualities."
"Thanks Izzy."
"Plus, you're not gay!"
"...Thanks Izzy."
"No problem!"
"Izzy, how'd you get so good at cheering people up." Cody asked with a smile.
"I don't know. Now, where's that oil?"
With Duncan
"Where's that damn oil?" Duncan asked, searching the barren land. He had spent the last hour searching for one the cans, but he had come up with nothing yet. This had been one of the most boring experiences in his life. Partly because he had a lot of action with the police, and partly because this was legitimately an incredibly boring challenge.
"I mean, what does he want us to do? Search this for hours on end until we die? Screw you, McLean.." he complained, kicking the dirt. At least it gave him time to think out loud.
"This season sucks! Sure, I'm in the final three, but at what cost? I quit immediately, but was brought back! If only I hadn't gotten captured. Gwen broke up with me. I broke up with Courtney. F*** you Courtney. What a b****. And Cody… he took both of them away from me! Why? You can't date two people at once! Wait… nevermind. But, I used to think he was a decent person. A little perverted, sure, but not evil like he is now! Ugh, this game reeks." he threw his post-digger down in annoyance. It somehow landed straight up and pierced the ground. And oil spilled out. "Finally."
With Alejandro
Five Minutes Earlier
"All is going as plan." Alejandro said to himself. And it was in fact going as planned.
"With Cody stuck in a hole, it is sure to be me versus Duncan in the finale! And as Chris has shown before, he's way too dumb to think of a challenge for the finale. It will likely come down to a vote. I may have eliminated Bridgette, Harold, DJ, Leshawna, and Gwen, but Duncan has hurt the entirety of the cast with his actions. Victory is sure to be mine!" Alejandro boasted to himself.
"Though I can't believe Duncan somehow stole my shovel! I didn't even see him!" he said. Out of desperation, he decided to start digging with his toy shovel. And with some miracle, he found one.
With Cody and Izzy
"And that's how I conquered the chili dog alien." Izzy ended her story.
"You've… certainly accomplished a lot, Izzy."
"Mhm! Hey look! There's oil here!"
"What? There's no oil here!"
"I'm using my super power!" she explained. Cody was about to hand her the shovel, when she leapt to the ground and started digging with her hands. Though confused, he didn't want to stop her. Eventually, she was able to get the barrel out. She looked at her fingernails which were full of dirt. She, much to Cody's surprise, started eating the dirt out of her fingernail. Cody, wasting no time, started rolling the barrel as fast as he could to the ship, with Izzy not too far behind.
After rolling for a few minutes, they were able to make out the plane in the distance. But also, two contestants rolling their barrels as well.
With Alejandro
"I got this!"
"I don't think so!" Duncan warned, rolling up next to Alejandro.
"So it's down to me and you, huh?"
"Yep! Congrats on making it to the last two."
"Same to you, my friend."
"We're not friends." Duncan said bluntly.
"Well, either wa- WHAT?"
"Hm?"
"Look!" Alejandro yelled, pointing.
In the distance, Cody, with Izzy following right along, was rushing."
"Oh boy, better hurry."
"How is this possible?"
"What do you mean?"
"I trapped him under a boulder. How did he get out?"
"Maybe it's because of that mysterious figure behind the twerp." Duncan suggested.
"Huh?" he asked, taking a second look. When he saw the figure, Alejandro grew a scowl.
It was a dead heat. As Chris and Chef watched, they couldn't see who was leading. As they neared the plane, the two hosts sat on the edge of their seats. And in the end…
…
…
…
…
…
They tied.
"Woah, what a close race! And in the end, no one wins. So, it's down to a vote to see who the final two is composed of."
As the first two voted, Cody went in to cast his vote.
"Man, really should have teamed up with Alejandro. Hopefully, Alejandro votes for Duncan."
With Chris and Izzy
"Izzy, why are you here?"
"I wanted to hang out."
"Ugh, well you're gonna have to go with the eliminated contestant. You know that, right?"
"No, please!"
"Sorry."
"I'll do anything!"
"Well, you do bring the ratings… you know what. If you handstand to the end of the voting ceremony, you can come back."
"What? That's easy!" Chef argued, butting in.
"Shut up!" Izzy yelled, kicking Chef in the groin. Chef toppled over, holding his crotch.
"Ha! That's why the people love you! You're back in!" Chef tried to argue, but Izzy literally threw him away. Izzy cheered, running into plane.
-Confessional-
"I've got a plan…" Izzy said with a devious smirk.
-Confessional End-
"Now for the votes!"
"One for Duncan." Duncan scoffed.
"One for Cody!"
"And the final one goes to…"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Cody is eliminated."
"Aw man-"
"Hey guys! Look at the plane!" Izzy yelled. As they all did…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
Nothing happened.
"Why'd you want us to-" BOOM!
The plane exploded, as Izzy cackled.
"IZZY! WHAT THE F***! YOU. ARE. ELIMINATED." Chris yelled.
"Yes!" she yelled, pumping her fist.
"Huh?" Chris asked.
"I had a plan. I knew Cody was gone, so I got myself eliminated!"
"Well, Cody's still eliminated."
"WHAT!?"
"No, I'm just kidding. Duncan, Alejandro, and Cody are all still in."
"So the geek escape elimination again? What is this, the fifth time!?" Duncan asked angrily.
"Yep!"
"Pff. It's like he's the protagonist of a fanfiction that's trying to add drama, but sucks at it."
"W-well, the plane's gone… again. I hate this job now. S-see you next time on Total Drama… World Tour." Chris outro'd with none of his flair.
Author's Note: Hey guys, I know it's been a while. Sorry, I just didn't want to work on this chapter at all for some reason. I don't know why, as with Izzy in this episode, it made it a lot more fun. Also, if you didn't notice, I had a few references in this chapter. The first was when Izzy said there was some alternate universe with Ezekiel being a Gopher, referencing my other story. Then, Izzy said she took down a "chili dog alien" referencing an episode of Total Dramarama. By the way, I really wish that it was a real, competitive season, but at least it's some sort of Total Drama representation on CN. Plus, it's beating TTG in ratings which is nice. And the last reference is that I suck at drama and wanted to trick you into thinking Cody was eliminated. I wrote that out before realizing I had done that like, two times before. Plus once in my other story.
I hope you guys liked the way I had the spotlight on different people. It showed that Duncan is definitely wrong, but in his eyes, Cody's the evil one. Plus, Alejandro got stuff to do this episode. Yay!
So, next episode is going to be a bit different. It is going to be focusing on Courtney. But that's not the different part. It's different because it's not just one episode. It will follow Courtney since she got eliminated. That's means it will show her from after "Chinese Fake-out" to the end of "Hawaiian Style". So next chapter will also include the aftermath. Though this may be a few weeks, as we know for sure I'm going back to school on Monday. Unless they say something tomorrow, I will be in school, so likely one chapter per week, maybe even one every two weeks. Sorry, I just have less of a drive to do this than over the summer. I apologize.
Anyways, see you guys later! Bye!
