"Last time on Total Drama Revenge of the Island. We saw how clueless our players were when it comes to fashion. And how useless they are when it comes to rescue missions. Dawn managed to win over Sam and surprisingly also Lightning. Which as bad news for Scott. In the end, after a re-vote, it was Sam who got the tosseroo and Brick and Lightning got tossed on to opposite teams. Who will thrive and who won't survive? Find out right now on, Total. Drama. Revenge of the Island!"
The day started up with Brick lifting a log outside of his cabin while lying on his back.
"Six... Seven... Eight..." Brick counted as he lifted the log.
Dawn walked over to Brick with her trash bag in hand.
"Greetings Brick." Dawn said.
"Morning ma'am." Brick said as he put down his log. "Just doing my morning exercises."
"Hmm... I hope you're liking your new team so far." Dawn said.
"Well it's only you and Scott." Brick said.
"And do you like us?" Dawn asked.
"I don't know." Brick said. "Haven't known you for that long."
"Well, I want to give you something." Dawn said.
Dawn reached into her trash bag and felt around.
"It's in here somewhere." Dawn said. "Yesterday I found an almost intact conch shell. It's beautiful."
She continued to feel around in her bag only to come up empty.
"That's odd. I can't find it anywhere." Dawn said.
"Weird. Lots of things have been going missing around here." Brick said.
"Well, it was a beautiful shell." Dawn said.
"I believe you ma'am." Brick said.
Confessional
"I need to befriend Brick." Dawn said. "I didn't plan on playing this game strategically. I just intended to have fun. But with Scott's underhanded tactics being in an alliance with Brick is my best option."
End Confessional
Once Dawn had left and Brick went back to weight lifting Scott walked over to him. Scott had a few unexplained scratches and bruises on him and his shirt had some mud stains on it.
"Mornin' Brick. Exercising the old arms I see." Scott said, trying to strike up conversation.
"Yep." Brick said as he put down the log once more.
Brick noticed Scott's roughed up appearance and commented on it. "Uh... What happened to you?"
"Um... None of your business." Scott suspiciously said.
"Okay then..." Brick siad.
"So what do you think of the team so far?" Scott asked.
"Dawn's a bit odd but I like her." Brick said. "You seem... Nice."
"Thanks." Scott said. "If you stick with me we could go far."
"Hmm... Interesting offer." Brick said. "I'll consider it."
Confessional
"Ugh! I've looked everywhere on the island for that stupid immunity idol!" Scott ranted. "I even fell into a mud pit looking for it. But I can't find it anywhere. If I want that million dollars I need to get in good with Brick before Dawn does. If she gets her tiny pale hands on him I'm alone out here."

Inside the Maggots cabin Lightning was doing push-ups.
"Six! Seven! Eight! The one after that!" Lightning enthusiastically counted as he did his push-ups.
"Wow, you're good." Cameron remarked.
"Thanks nerd girl." Lightning said, still doing push-ups.
He looked over at Mike.
"Hey you, wanna work out with me?" Lightning said.
"Hmm... Uh, maybe." Mike said. "Why do you ask."
Lightning stood up.
"Well I've seen you do those crazy gymnastic moves. You gotta work out a lot if you can do that sort of thing." Lightning said.
"Uh.. Yeah, I work out." Mike said.
Jo walked into the room with Zoey following her.
"Okay Maggots! Here's what we're doing now." Jo proclaimed. "We're going to go eat breakfast and afterwards we have a strategy meeting. We'll for sure crush the Rats. They've only got three members left."
"Can't we just rest a little?" Zoey asked.
"Yeah, you've been a pretty tough leader." Mike said. "Can't you ease up a bit."
"Are you all questioning me?" Jo asked.
"Kind of." Cameron said.
"I'm not." Lightning said.

"I don't get why these guys don't like me." Jo said. "I'm the reason we're on a winning streak. The last person who tried to overthrow me was that obnoxious hair spray princess Anne Maria. And she was eliminated. If these guys don't want me around it's their loss. I'm the glue holding this team together."
End Confessional
Later the teams had entered the mess hall but Chef was nowhere to be found.
"All right, let's see what's for sha-breakfast." Lightning said.
"We can't." Cameron said. "I don't see Chef anywhere."
"Lightning can't survive without food." Lightning said. "C'mon, we'll make our own breakfast."
Mike opened up the fridge only to see that it was empty.
"No food in the fridge!" Mike called out to the others.
Zoey went over to one of the cabinets and opened it.
"Huh, nothing in here either." Zoey said.
Chef stuck his head through a window behind Lightning.
"Maybe we should check the walk-in freezer." Chef said before ducking away from the window.
"Great idea!" Lightning cheered.
Lightning went over a cold door and opened it. Inside was a cold metal room full of meats.
"Sha-sweet! Look at all that protein!" Lightning exclaimed.
He entered the room followed by everyone else.
"Is there a vegetarian option in here somewhere?" Dawn asked.
"Y'know the funny thing is I didn't even know we had a walk-in freezer." Scott pointed out.
The door behind them closed suddenly.
"I really should've seen this coming." Jo remarked.
The ground beneath them began to move.
"Are we in a truck?" Mike asked
A slot in the front of the room to reveal that they were indeed in a truck and Chef was driving.
"Challenge time suckers!" Chef announced.
"This is highly unorthodox." Cameron said.
"Can't you do this in a normal way?" Brick asked.
"Where are you even taking us?" Zoey asked.
"Oh you'll see." Chef said before evilly giggling to himself.
He shut the slot only accidentally jam his thumb in it.
"Ah! Where's the first aid kit when you need it!" Chef exclaimed.
The camera cut to the truck stopping outside an old mine. Chef opened up the back of the truck and pressed a button. The area containing the teams dumped them out and they landed in a pile.
"This all feels so unnecessary..." Cameron said.
Dakota pushed a monitor with Chris on it over to the contestants. Chris appeared to be inside some area the teams had not previously seen.
"Hi guys." Dakota said.
"Hello Dakota." Dawn said.
"Shut up, all of you." Scott said.
"Good you're here." Chris said from the screen. "Finally. Today's challenge is to find a golden Chris statue hidden somewhere in this old abandoned mine. First team back wins."
"Sounds simple." Mike said. "What's the catch?"
"Look behind you. You might get some clues." Chris said.
The contestants turned around and saw Chef in a hazmat suit unloading backpacks from a different truck. Chef tossed a pack to Jo. She caught it and was immediately weighed to the ground.
"Don't worry, there are enough to go around." Chris said as Chef threw the cast more backpacks.
"What's in here?" Jo asked. "Rocks?"
"No peeking." Chris said. "Those fifty pound bags are purely to make things harder for y'all. And for the enjoyment of me and our audience."
Cameron dug through the bag and pulled out a badge with a green light on it.
"Chemical badges? Why would we need to measure our exposure to radioactive materials?" Cameron asked.
"Uh, that mine is where a majority of the toxic waste is stored." Chris explained. "This is a safety precaution."
"What?! Are you insane!" Zoey exclaimed.
"No. Which is why I'm in a studio right now." Chris said. "Don't worry, you'll be fine... For thirty minutes. When your badge turns orange that means you've got fifteen minutes left. Red is your five minute warning. And, if you see a skull and cross bones... This is probably going to be the last episode we ever air. But hopefully, it won't come to that. We had Dakota send some canaries into the mine for forty minutes and they're fine... Ish."
"All their feathers fell out." Dakota said.
"Shh! We don't want them to know that." Chris said.
"Sorry." Dakota said.
"You all best get going." Chris said to the teams.
"Can you at least give us some directions?" Dawn asked. "You're sending us down there basically blind."
"Funny story, we can't find the statues." Chris said. "Yeah, we had some interns hide them a few days ago but when they went to check today they were gone. Someone or something down there musta taken them."
"I-is it w-w-well lit down there?" Brick stammered.
"It's a mine. They aren't generally known for being bright." Chris said. "There are flashlights and fireflies inside. First come first serve."
"Ooh! I want the fireflies." Dawn said.
"Now chop chop! Time's a wastin'." Chris said. "And so are your healthy blood cells."
"Move out Maggots." Jo said.
The Maggots ran into the mine ahead of the Rats. They stopped when they came to an elevator.
"Sha-booya! Lightning comes in first!" Lightning cheered.
The ceiling shook and some rocks fell towards the Maggots.
"Lightning, you idiot!" Jo yelled at him.
The Maggots were abruptly buried by the rocks. The Toxic Rats ran past them and over to the elevator.
"Should we help them?" Brick asked.
"Keep it moving people." Scott said.
Dawn, Scott, and Brick got into the elevator. Brick picked up some flashlights from the ground.
"All right, we're already in first." Brick said. "Here, take some flashlights."
He handed Scott and Dawn each their own flashlight.
"Aw, I was hoping for the fireflies." Dawn said.
"Well tough luck." Scott said. "Now come on, let's get moving. How does this elevator even work?"
One of the cords keeping the elevator up snapped and they began to fall.
Confessional
"I probably shoulda seen that coming." Scott said.
End Confessional
At the bottom of the shaft it was pitch black and nobody was able to see.
"Oh god! I'm about to die aren't I!?" Brick panicked. "This isn't how it was supposed to end! The last thing I said to my parents was-"
"Will you shut up!" Scott angrily said.
Dawn switched on her flashlight illuminating the area around them.
"Thanks guys. I needed that." Brick said.
Dawn's light fell on a nearby tunnel.
"Look a tunnel, let's try going that way." Dawn said.
"Maybe we shouldn't go blindly in one direction." Scott said.
The sound of a loud aggressive grumbling that did not sound human came from behind them.
"Changed my mind, let's go!" Scott said.
Confessional
"I want to throw this challenge but I also don't want to get killed." Scott said. "And with this challenge in particular that is a real possibility."
End Confessional
Meanwhile, the Maggots had dug themselves out of the rubble and were looking down the empty mine shaft.
"Something tells me we can't take the elevator." Mike said.
Zoey nodded in agreement.
"No!" Lightning exclaimed. "Lightning can't be on another losing team!"
"Calm down Lightning." Cameron said. "It's not over yet. We can still slide down on the rope."
"You can go first." Jo said to Lightning.
"You got it dude." Lightning said.
"For the last time, I am a girl." Jo said.
"Whatever." Lightning said before he jumped over to the rope and held on tight.
Cameron saw a jar of fireflies with some holes poked in the lid on the ground. He picked it up.
"We can use this as our light source." Cameron said.
"Sweet." Lightning said. "Toss it here."
Cameron threw him the jar. Lightning managed to catch it but he let go of the rope in the process.
"Uh oh..." Lightning said. "This don't look good."
He quickly began to fall down the shaft towards the crashed elevator. He wrapped his legs around the cord to slow his fall. This caused some rope burn but stopped him before he hit the bottom.
"Sha-yeah! Lightning made it down!" Lightning cheered. "Looks like-"
He was cut off when Jo landed on him causing the firefly jar to fall out of his hands. The lid came loose and fireflies began to fly away. Mike, Zoey, and Cameron slid down the rope and got off after Jo.
"Look what you did man!" Lightning yelled at Jo. "The fireflies are gettin' away!"
"Well don't just stand there! Help me catch them!" Jo yelled back.
Jo and Lightning got down from the elevator and began to chase the fireflies. Mike and Zoey quickly followed them.
"Wait!" Cameron exclaimed.
"There's no waiting in a life or death situation like this." Jo said as she ran.
Cameron looked around nervously before running to catch up with his team.
Confessional
"I've never been underground before." Cameron said. "So this was a very overwhelming experience for me. I'm not sure if I was able to keep a level head at all times."
End Confessional
Meanwhile, the three Rats were up ahead in the tunnel. They came to a split in the path. Either a tunnel that looked like some animal made it or a more man-made path with some tracks on it.
"Hmm... Looks like something chewed its way through the stone." Scott said. "I say we go down there?"
"Why?" Dawn asked. "We could get lost easily."
"Yeah, but... Animals like, know their way around and stuff." Scott said.
"We should see what Brick thinks." Dawn said. "He was in the military."
"Uh, it was actually just military school." Brick corrected. "But thank you anyway."
"So Brick, which way do you think we should go?" Dawn asked.
"Hmm... Those mine tracks don't look safe." Brick observed. "I say we take the other one."
"Great choice Brick." Scott said.
"Yes, I also agree with your choice." Dawn said.
Confessional
"Sucking up to Brick is important." Scott said. "He needs to be on my side if I want to give Dawn the boot."
Second Confessional
"I think it should be easy to get Brick to be my friend." Dawn said. "I'm a very calm and friendly person. If he doesn't think I'm "Weird" or "Creepy"."
End Confessionals
The Maggots came into the room the Rats had just left. Jo lead the charge after the escaped fireflies.
"Lightning! Chase them over to me and I'll catch them!" Jo ordered.
"You got it bro." Lightning said as he ran past Jo.
He quickly ran back towards his team with the bugs swarming at him.
"Ah! They're biting me!" Lightning yelled.
Jo put the jar over Lightning's head trapping the fireflies inside.
"There. Problem solved." Jo said.
Mike, Zoey, and Cameron ran over to Jo and Lightning looking out of breath.
"Guys... You left us back by the elevator..." Zoey said, panting the whole time.
"Well if you wanna play in the big leagues you've gotta be tough." Jo said.
"Give 'em a break bro." Lightning said. "They ain't as fit as us. 'Specially the little girl."
He pointed at Cameron.
"Thank you... Uh, I think." Cameron said.
Mike saw a hat on the ground and picked it up.
"Aw cool, this is a sweet hat." Mike said.
"Everyone wears hats Mike, there are more important things to do right now." Jo said.
He ignored her and put the hat on. Once the hat was on he abruptly gasped and put a more serious look on his face.
"Oh no, he's role playing again." Jo said.
Zoey walked over to him.
"Okay Mike, we need to get going." Zoey said.
"Sorry sheila, you've got me confused with someone else. I'm Manitoba Smith." Manitoba proclaimed.
He walked over to Lightning and grabbed him by the wrist.
"Hey big guy, I need a light." Manitoba said.
He brought Lightning over near the two paths. Manitoba picked up some dirt and sniffed it.
"Something tells me he has no idea what he's doing." Jo said.
"I second that." Cameron said.
"To the right! A tunnel dug out by giant rodent teeth!" Manitoba dramatically said.
"Rodents? What are you talkin' about?" Lightning asked.
"And do the left are mine tracks. We go right." Manitoba said.
"Thank you Crocodile Dundee. We have eyes and can see the tracks." Jo said. "C'mon everyone, let's go."
The Maggots walked over down the path to the right.
Meanwhile, the three Rats were walking down the other tunnel.
"Is it getting darker down here..." Brick said nervously.
"Relax space cadet, we have flashlights." Scott said.
"Yeah, but flashlights have batteries. And batteries run out. And then I'd be left in the dark!" Brick panicked.
Dawn comfortingly held Brick's hand.
"Do not worry. I'm sure Chris wouldn't let us die." Dawn said. "Even he has some good in his aura."
Confessional
"You'd think having a four foot tall girl with oddly pale skin hold your hand wouldn't be that reassuring." Brick said. "But weirdly, it was."
End Confessional
"Hey, I'm just curious. What exactly made this tunnel?" Brick asked.
"Some kind of large animal." Scott said. "I'm sure we won't have to worry about it."
Scott stopped walking when he ran into something large in front of him. He shined the light upwards and he saw a giant mutant gopher right in front of him.
"Or maybe we should worry..." Scott said.
"Don't worry." Dawn whispered. "It's blind. If we stay quiet maybe it won't notice us."
"Ah! I don't want to die!" Brick shouted.
"Never mind." Dawn said, somehow still sounding calm. "Just run."
The three Rats quickly turned around and began to run back where they came from. The gopher ran after them too.
Meanwhile, the Maggots ran over to the mine carts resting on the tracks.
"Aw yeah! This should sure speed things up." Manitoba said.
"Uh, isn't this a little bit unsafe?" Cameron asked.
"If you're a girl, maybe." Manitoba said.
"Hey!" Jo exclaimed. "Take that back!"
"Yeah, not cool." Zoey said.
Lightning's badge light suddenly turned orange.
"Sha-no! I've only got five seconds to live!" Lightning exclaimed.
"Fifteen minutes." Cameron corrected.
"Oh, that's cool." Lightning said.
Cameron's light abruptly switched to an orange as well.
"Yikes! We should get moving!" Cameron exclaimed.
"That's the spirit." Jo said.
Manitoba climbed into the front mine cart followed by Zoey. Jo, Lightning, and Cameron all got in the back.
"Come on, let's get moving!" Jo barked. "Before we die!"
"Don't get your knickers in a twist, lady." Manitoba said.
Manitoba removed a rock keeping the carts in place.
"This is my first time riding the rails." Cameron said.
Manitoba pulled a lever on the side of the cart and the Maggots quickly started to go downhill.
"I don't like it!" Cameron yelled.
Meanwhile, the Rats exited the tunnel being chased by the mutant gopher.
"Is it gone yet!" Brick yelled.
Scott looked behind him and saw the gopher gaining on them.
"Nope!" He shouted.
Brick grabbed Dawn by the wrist and ducked behind a rock with her. The gopher continued to chase after Scott.
"Thank you very much." Dawn said.
"Not a problem ma'am." Brick said. "I should go out there and get Scott."
Brick began to stand up only to have his hand grabbed by Dawn.
"Wait! There's something you need to know." Dawn said. "It's about Scott."
"What is it?" Brick asked.
"You can not trust him." Dawn said. "The reason there are only three of us left is because Scott kept throwing challenges."
"How does that strategy make sense?" Brick asked.
"You need to trust me on this." Dawn said. "Please. He's like poison. We need to get rid of him."
Confessional
"Hmm... What Dawn said was very interesting." Brick said. "It seems like a weird thing to say so she might be trying to trick me. But she doesn't have any reason to. And she looks so innocent. I think I can trust her."
End Confessional
Scott ran over to Brick and Dawn and hid behind the rock with them.
"What the hell guys?! You totally abandoned me." Scott said.
"Sorry sir." Brick apologized. "It won't happen again.
"Yeah, it'd better not." Scott said.
"So did you get away from the gopher?" Dawn asked.
"I think so." Scott said.
The blind gopher ran back towards them.
"Never mind..." Scott said.
"It's blind! How can it see us?!" Brick exclaimed.
"It must be able to smell us." Dawn said.
"Guys... Run!" Scott exclaimed.
The Rats began to run away from the gopher once more.
Meanwhile, the Maggots were going down the mine track in their carts.
"All right lads and lasses, if we stick together we'll be out in no time." Manitoba said.
"Uh, you might wanna look behind you." Zoey said.
Manitoba turned around and saw that the cart containing Cameron, Jo, and Lightning was now on a different track.
"Crikey! What did I just say?" Manitoba scolded the other Maggots.
The track Zoey and Manitoba were on went downhill. Their cart went down the track and off camera where a crashing noise was heard.
"Zoey! Mike!" Cameron exclaimed.
"Well, at least it can't get worse." Lightning said.
"Not so sure about that." Jo said as she pointed ahead.
Lightning looked forward and saw that their track was coming to an end.
"I'm to young to die!" Cameron shouted.
"And Lightning's too amazing!" Lightning exclaimed.
Their cart flew off the track with them inside it launching the three of them into the air. They fell past the cliff that Mike and Zoey had landed on and landed in some water. All three of them surfaced from the water.
"Well that's just great. I'm about to die next to two lunatics!" Jo angrily said.
"Take a chill pill man." Lightning said.
"I am not a man!" Jo spat. "Do you want me to take off my shirt to prove it!"
"Jo, can we please talk about this some other time?" Cameron asked.
"Ugh, I am surrounded by idiots." Jo complained.
Confessional
"I don't like the way Jo is taking our team." Cameron said. "Eventually we're going to crash and burn. I hope she can get off of our team before then."
End Confessional
"So where do we go from here?" Lightning asked.
"We need to swim to safety." Jo said. "Let's move out!"
"But my arms hurt." Cameron said.
"Well too bad. We're moving now." Jo said.
"Don't worry smart girl, I'll carry you." Lightning said.
"I'm a boy... But thank you." Cameron said.
Lightning lifted Cameron up out of the water.
"Let's do this!" Lightning cheered.
"Please be careful." Cameron advised.
"Hey, are you two done playing? 'Cause we need to swim out of here." Jo said.
Confessional
"Man, Lightning ain't likin' the way that Jo dude bosses him around." Lightning said. "Lightning don't take orders from nobody."
End Confessional
Meanwhile, Zoey and Mike were lying on the ground next to the wreckage of their cart. Mike's hat had fallen off during the crash. Zoey got up from the ground first.
"Ow... My head." Zoey said as she rubbed a bruised area of her forehead. "Man, I can't see a thing. Where's Lightning when you need him? Come to think of it, where's Mike?"
She looked around and saw him lying on the ground.
"Mike!" Zoey exclaimed as she ran over to him.
She shook Mike to try and get him up but he didn't get up.
"Come on! Please don't be dead!" Zoey exclaimed. "Oh god! What do I do!?"
Confessional
"That was probably the most stress I've been under in my entire life." Zoey said. "I was so worried about Mike being dead."
End Confessional
Mike dazedly got up from the ground while rubbing his head.
"Ugh, what just happened?" Mike asked.
"You're okay!" Zoey exclaimed as she threw her arms around him.
"Okay, let's not get too enthusiastic." Mike said.
"Right, sorry." Zoey said before she let go. "I'm just so happy that you're alive. Now come on, we need to find the others."
Another giant gopher stuck their head out of the ground where Zoey stood causing her to be elevated.
"Oh crap... Run!" Zoey yelled.
Mike and Zoey began to run away from the gopher.
Meanwhile, Dawn, Scott, and Brick were continuing to run from the gopher chasing them.
"Man! I did not expect it to be this fast!" Scott exclaimed.
Dawn looked down at her badge and saw that it had turned orange without her noticing.
"What the- How did this happen!" Dawn exclaimed. "We only have fifteen minutes left!"
"It'll be even less if that thing catches us!" Scott yelled.
Dawn and Scott ducked behind a large rock while Brick smashed face first into the same rock and fell backwards.
"Help!" Brick screamed.
Brick froze in fear as the gopher approached him and sniffed his shoes. The gopher let out a shriek and recoiled in disgust.
"What? You don't like my boots?" Brick asked. "Hmmm..."
He got up and took off one of his boots. He held it up in the face of the gopher causing it to run away due to the stench.
"What's the matter? Can't handle the smell of war?" Brick asked.
Brick began to walk towards the gopher as it kept running. Scott and Dawn got out from behind their rock and followed Brick.
"Nice work Brick." Dawn congratulated.
"Come on soldiers, let's go!" Brick cheered.
Meanwhile, Jo and Lightning swam through the water with Cameron holding on to Lightning's neck.
"Don't worry girl, we'll get somewhere safe where you can stand." Lightning reassured Cameron.
"Should I even bother correcting him?" Cameron asked.
"You get used to it after a while." Jo said.
"What are you two talkin' about?" Lightning asked.
"Ugh, nothing." Jo said.
Jo spotted the shore up ahead.
"Okay people, let's move it." Jo said. "If I die I want it to be near my future boyfriend or fitness trainer. And not you bozos."
"Boyfriend?" Lightning said, sounding a little shocked.
"Oh... Right." Jo said.
"It's cool man. Lightning don't judge." Lightning said.
The three Maggots made it out of the water and tried to wipe the water from their clothes with their hands.
"Man, at least it can't get any worse." Lightning said.
"Don't say that! That means it'll get worse." Jo said.
"Sorry bro." Lightning said.
"Come on guys, we need to keep going." Cameron said as he pointed forward.
The three of them continued to walk through the underground caverns.
"Man, this ain't gonna end well. Lightning can just feel it." Lightning said.
"If we keep pushing forward you won't die." Jo said.
"Isn't a break possible?" Cameron asked.
"No! A break is not possible because we want to win." Jo said. "Okay?"
"Maybe you should take it easy on us." Cameron suggested. "Studies have shown that you get more work done if you pace yourself rather than pushing yourself."
"Shut up poindexter. You have like, zero life experience." Jo said.
The Maggots entered a large open area in the underground. All around them were a bunch of sleeping mutant gophers. In the centre of the room was a pile of random objects.
"Okay... If you don't want to be dismembered keep your mouth shut." Jo whispered to her teammates.
Cameron and Lightning nodded.
"What's all that junk in the middle?" Lightning quietly asked.
"Let's go check." Jo said.
The three of them sneaked over to the pile in the middle of the room.
"Hey, that's my whistle that went missing." Jo said as she took a whistle out of the heap.
"At those look like some of Sam's consoles." Cameron said while pointing to two handheld game consoles in the pile.
"Sha-sweet. How'd it get down here though?" Lightning asked.
"Probably has something to do with the gophers." Cameron said. "They must be hoarders "
"Uh, how did they take it without us noticing?" Jo asked.
Cameron shrugged.
"They must have done it somehow. How else can you explain that all our stuff is down here." Cameron said.
Confessional
"This place is really weird." Jo said. "I don't remember any of this radioactive mutant stuff being mentioned on the application."
End Confessional
"My protein's gotta be in here." Lightning said.
Lightning started sifting through the pile.
"Be careful." Cameron said. "It doesn't look very stable.
"Don't worry your head off little girl. I know what I'm doin'." Lightning said.
He pulled Scott's shark tooth out of the pile.
"Nope that's not it." Lightning said.
He threw the tooth behind him and it hit a gopher on the head causing it to wake up.
"Uh oh..." Lightning said.
"You pea brained moron!" Jo snapped at Lightning.
The yelling woke up the rest of the gophers.
"We should probably hide..." Cameron nervously said.
Meanwhile, the Rats were chasing after the gopher with Brick in the front with his boot out.
"What's the matter you oversized mole? Can't handle the boot being on the other foot?" Brick taunted the gopher.
"Brick, as fun as this is I would suggest we stay on track." Dawn suggested.
"I don't know, maybe we should keep going. This is kinda fun." Scott said.
Confessional
"With how distracted Brick was getting I didn't even have to do anything to try and throw the challenge." Scott said. "It was like taking candy from an elderly man. No wait, I messed that one up. Let me try again."
End Confessional
"Sir, ma'am, I think it would be beneficial to follow this gopher." Brick said as he ran. "I believe it would lead us to where we need to go."
"He has a point." Scott said. "Besides, we're chasing it. What could go wrong?"
Three different gophers burst through the ground and grabbed each of the Rats by the legs.
"Uh... This." Dawn said.
"Yeah... That'd do it..." Brick said.
All three of them were pulled down through the tunnels the gophers made.
Meanwhile, Cameron, Lightning, and Jo were hiding behind a rock from the gophers.
"Okay. I think we're safe." Cameron said. "We need to get out of here now."
Jo peaked out from behind the rock and saw the two Chris statues in the pile of junk.
"Guys! Look over there." Jo pointed over to the statues. "Come on, we can win this right now."
"We need to escape. It's not worth risking our lives." Cameron said.
"Ugh, you aren't listening." Jo told him.
"No! You're not listening!" Cameron snapped at her before quickly covering his mouth.
Confessional
"It feels really good to tell Jo what I think." Cameron said. "It kind of hurts to raise my voice but other than that it felt great."
Second Confessional
"Lightning wasn't payin' attention to what those two were sayin'." Lightning said. "All he was thinkin' was "Man, I really need that protein powder"."
End Confessional
Meanwhile, Zoey and Mike were running through the mine. Both of them were looking tired.
"Zoey... I think I'm about to pass out..." Mike informed her.
"Hang in there... The rest of our team has to be in here somewhere..." Zoey reassured him.
Both their badges suddenly turned red.
"Oh no! We've only got five minutes left!" Mike exclaimed.
"Quick, let's take off the packs." Zoey said as she began to remove her backpack.
"Not so fast!" Chris announced over the mine's speakers. "If you take those packs of pain off you and your entire team is disqualified? You hear me? Disqualified!"
"Yes! I knew Chris would make sure we were safe." Zoey said.
"Uh, I'm more of an observer than a helper." Chris said. "So... You're on your own here."
"Help!" Cameron shouted from out of view.
"That sounded like Cam!" Mike exclaimed.
"Come on, let's go find him." Zoey said.
The two of them began to run towards the sound of Cameron's voice. They ran into the room of gophers where the rest of their team was. Lightning, Jo, and Cameron were surrounded by a bunch of angry gophers slowly closing in on them.
"This is all your fault Bubble Boy." Jo said to Cameron.
"You're the one who's supposed to be leading us." Cameron pointed out.
"Lightning thinks both of you are idiots." Lightning said.
The camera panned up to three more gopher. Each of them held a member of the rats in their mouth.
"Hello Zoey. Hello Mike." Dawn said as she calmly waved to them.
"Help before we die!" Scott shouted.
Two more gophers went over to Mike and Zoey.
"This is not where and how I thought I would die." Mike said.
"Don't worry! I'll make a distraction." Brick declared.
He kicked off his other boot and it landed in front of the gophers approaching mike and Zoey. The strong smell of the boot caused the gophers to run away.
"Hey idiot! Those guys are on the other team." Scott said.
"Don't worry. I can help." Dawn said.
She looked up at the gopher holding her.
"Excuse me sir or ma'am. I know you can't see but we really mean you no harm." Dawn said to the animal. "Would you mind putting us down?"
"Yeah, like that'll work." Scott scoffed.
The gophers holding the Rats let go off them and they all fell to the ground.
The camera moved back to Lightning, Jo, and Cameron being surrounded by their gophers.
"Uh... What about us?" Cameron asked.
"I just got an idea." Jo said.
She took the jar of fireflies off of Lightning's head. The fireflies flew into the gophers' faces causing them to all run away.
"Nice work bro!" Lightning cheered.
"Now I'll go get the statue." Jo said.
She ran over to the pile of junk and started to look through it.
"C'mon, I saw it in here just earlier." Jo said to herself.
Her eyes fell on a Chris statue with a red base and she grabbed it.
"Yes!" She cheered.
Before she could go away she saw something else in the pile that caught her eye. It was a small wooden Chris statue.
Confessional
"So there I was, about to leave with the statue that I needed tow in when I saw the immunity idol. Those gophers must have stolen it too." Jo said. "Well, obviously I wasn't gonna pass up a chance like that."
End Confessional
Jo quickly grabbed the idol to make sure nobody saw her and hid it in her hoodie.
"Okay team! Let's get out of here!" Jo shouted to her team. "To the mine carts!"
Jo began to run towards the carts only to be tackled by another gopher and have the statue she needed to win knocked out of her hands.
"No!" She cried out.
"If you can hear this, congrats! You're not dead yet." Chris said over the speakers. "Where ever you are, please discard your bombs- I mean backpacks! And run!"
"Bombs!" Zoey exclaimed as she hurriedly took off her backpack.
The other contestants quickly removed their packs.
"Quickly, we should get out of here." Dawn said to the other two members of her team.
"One second ma'am." Brick said. "I need to make sure we win first!"
Brick ran over to the pile of items and pulled out his teams' statue.
"Okay, now we can leave." Brick said.
"Oh yay, I love winning." Scott sarcastically said.
Brick, Scott, and Dawn all ran over to a mine cart and got in.
"Okay, how do we move this thing?" Dawn asked.
Brick looked over his shoulder and saw the Maggots still strugging.
"Guys, I think we should help them." Brick said.
"Great idea Brick." Scott said with a sudden sinister smile on his face. "Just don't take too long or else we might... You know... Lose."
"Don't worry I'll be quick." Brick said before he left the mine cart.
Confessional
"I didn't want to lose again." Dawn said. "However, I wanted the other team to be safe. So I allowed Brick to help."
End Confessional
Brick ran over to Jo who was currently pinned down by a gopher. Brick grabbed her hand and pulled her out.
"Thanks." Jo said.
"No problem ma'am." Brick said.
"Wait, where'd that statue I need go to?" Jo asked.
"Ma'am, I'd suggest escaping instead." Brick said.
"No way! I need this." Jo said.
Jo ran over to her statue lying on the ground and picked it up.
"Okay, now I can fly." Jo said.
Lightning ran over to Jo.
"All right dude. We've got this. Let's book it!" Lightning exclaimed.
"What about the rest of your team guys?" Brick asked.
Brick pointed over at Mike trying to fend off a gopher while Zoey and Cameron stood behind him.
"They'll be fine." Jo said.
"I dunno bro, maybe we should help." Lightning said.
"You can do that." Jo said. "I need to win."
Jo ran over to the mine carts.
Confessional
"I obviously didn't want my team to die." Jo said. "But I figured Lightning would be able to handle it."
End Confessional
Lightning and Brick ran over to where Mike, Zoey and Cameron were. Brick picked up a rock from the ground and threw it at the gopher. The gopher glared at Brick and began to chase him.
"Ah! I regret this!" He shouted.
Lightning went over to Mike, Zoey, and Cameron.
"Come on guys, let's get outta here." Lightning said.
Lightning put Cameron up on on his back and began to to run towards with mine cart with Zoey and Mike behind him. He put Cameron in the mine cart followed by Mike and Zoey climbing in.
"Y'all ready?" Lightning asked.
"Hurry before we die!" Zoey panicked.
Lightning pushed the mine cart before he hopped in it himself. The three mine carts began to go down the track as quickly as they could.
"Uh... Jo." Cameron uncomfortably said. "You forgot to take your backpack off."
"What?!" Jo exclaimed.
Jo looked back and saw the bomb backpack was still strapped to her. She quickly took it off and looked at the bomb.
"How do I defuse this?" Jo asked.
She pressed a button the bomb and the on it started flashing red.
"Now it's just going faster!" Cameron exclaimed.
She threw the bomb up and it got caught on some rocks on the cave ceiling. The bomb exploded and dislodged some loose rocks that fell towards the mine carts. Most of the larger rocks missed however one of them landed on Scott's foot causing him to cry out in pain.
"Gah! Nice going Jo!" Scott yelled.
Meanwhile, Chris and Chef were waiting outside the mine inside their hazmat suits.
"They're cuttin' it a bit close." Chris commented.
"Yep." Chef said.
The two teams riding the mine carts flew out of the mine and crashed in a pile behind Chris and Chef.
"Ah, there they are." Chris said.
The Maggots' Chris statue flew out of the wreckage and it hit Chef in the head followed by the Rats' statue landing at Chris' feet.
"Did we win..." Lightning dazedly asked.
"Hmm... Close call but since the Maggots' statue reached here first they win." Chris explained.
"Woohoo!" Cameron cheered. "Great work everyone!"
"We did it!" Zoey cheerily said before she hugged Mike in celebration.
"See. I'm not a bad leader." Jo said.
"Can I get a doctor?" Scott asked.
Chris ignores Scott and took out a remote then looked over at Chef.
"We clear?" Chris asked.
"I think so." Chef replied.
"Good." Chris said. "Executing Operation Doomsday!"
He pressed a button on his remote and an explosion was heard from inside the mine followed by some dangerously stacked rocks by the entrance collapsing and blocking it.
"Nice work." Chris said as he gave Chef a high five.
"This wasn't about the statues was it?" Mike asked as he walked over to Chris.
"Sure it was." Chris said. "And as an added bonus. You won't have to deal with those gophers stealing your stuff... Probably. But at least the producers will get off my back about the whole "Safety" issue."
"You do realize that we could have been seriously injured or could have died?" Dawn pointed out.
"I did." Chris said. "Now Maggots, hope you're hungry for marshmallows. But first, before there's permanent genetic damage..."
Chef took out a hose and sprayed them all with it.
The camera cut to later in the day to where Mike and Cameron were hanging out outside their cabin.
"Mike, can I ask you something?" Cameron asked.
"Sure, what is it?" Mike asked.
"Do you have Multiple Personality Disorder?" Cameron asked.
"How did you know? I mean- Yes. You're right." Mike said. "But how did you figure it out."
"Living in a bubble for sixteen years makes a guy pretty observant." Cameron said. "I don't why you're keeping it secret. But I can help you with it."
"Really?" Mike asked.
"Of course." Cameron said. "I've studied psychology textbooks extensively. But you need to help me with one thing. You need to help me take out Jo if we ever lose. I don't think she's a very good leader."
"You've got it." Mike said before he shook hands with Cameron.
Meanwhile, inside the Rats cabin, Brick and Dawn were talking.
"So Brick, after today do you believe me about Scott?" Dawn asked.
"I don't know." Brick said as he scratched his chin. "I haven't seen much evidence."
"But you wouldn't vote me out over him. Right?" Dawn asked.
"I mean... You're not exactly the most physically strong competitor and after tonight there's only going to be two people on this team." Brick said.
A sudden look of dread swept over Dawn's face.
"However, as a person you are much nicer." Brick said.
"Oh thank goodness." Dawn said. "Look, it feels weird for me to be trying to influence you. So please, just vote with your conscience."
"Okay ma'am." Brick said. "Thanks for the advice."
Brick got up and left the room.
Once he was outside he saw Scott sitting on the porch. He now had some bandages wrapped around his foot.
"Hey there Brick. I heard you and Dawn talking about something. What was it?" Scott asked.
"Oh, she was just telling me about... Palm reading." Brick lied.
"Hmm... Weird." Scott said. "Listen Brick, you weren't planning on voting me out. Right?"
"Uh, well, you damaged your leg. So I certainly was considering it." Brick said.
"What? No, this is nothing." Scott denied as he gestured to his injured foot. "The medic team patched me up. I'm good as new. Really. We need to get rid of Dawn. She's been dragging this team down since day one."
"I'll vote with my conscience tonight." Brick said.
"I'm taking that as a vote for Dawn." Scott sad.
The scene changed to the Rats at the elimination ceremony that night.
"So... Only three of you left." Chris said. "Pretty pathetic. And after tonight you all could quite possibly be one of our worst performing teams. Anywho, Brick, here's your marshmallow."
Chris threw a marshmallow to Brick.
"Thank you sir." Brick said.
"Scott, Dawn, one of you will receive the marshmallow nobody wants: The Toxic Marshmallow of Loserdom." Chris said. "However our unlucky camper is..."
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
"... Scott!"
Chris threw the toxic marshmallow to Scott who ducked to avoid it.
"So long Scott." Chris said. "Try not to hurt yourself on the way out."
Scott silently stood up and shifted his weight to his intact foot before angrily glaring at the two members of his team.
"Farewell Scott." Dawn said. "I may not like you in man respects but in a way I will still miss you."
"I'll miss you too... No, wait, I probably won't." Scott said.
The shot cut to Scott sitting in the Hurl of Shame.
"Any last words?" Chris asked.
"Nope. My strategy was already unravelled." Scott said. "Now there's no way I'll get that money now."
"Dude, your strategy only worked because half of your team was dumb and the other half was quiet." Chris said.
"No it didn't." Scott denied.
"Whatever. See you later." Chris said.
"Hey, is it safe to launch me out of this thing?" Scott asked. "What with my injured foot and all? Also, have you seen Fang? I haven't seen 'em all day but I feel like they're watching me."
"Don't care." Chris said. "Bye now."
Chris activated the catapult and fired Scott into the distance.
"The Rats are down to their last two members." Chris said. "How will they fare in the next challenge? Find out on... Total. Drama. Revenge of the Island!"
I had a lot of fun wit this one because of all the action in it. And now Jo has the idol and is now shaping up to be the main antagonist with Scott's elimination out of the way. Speaking of Scott, I actually like him. However, due to his strategy not being very good (As Chris pointed out in the chapter) I never intended him to make the merge. So I got rid of him. What do you think of Scott's elimination? Who do you think will go next? Be sure to leave a review to let me know your thoughts.
