Taking the Dorito Of Paintball

"Last time, on Total Drama Island, the campers had to row upstream to Boney Island, a cursed place in Wawanakwa. Anyways, the challenge ended in a tie, resulting in both teams having their eliminations. In the end, it was Ezekiel who was booted from the Killer Bass due to Katie's meddling, and Courtney from the Screaming Gophers, who was still hated by them. Who will go next, on Total. Drama. Island!" Chris said as he walked across the island.

In the Screaming Gophers' cabin…

Cody shivered in his bed, unable to fall asleep. His auburn sleepwear shook as he raised a leg to his abdomen, trying to find comfort. He didn't know why he was like this; usually, he was fine when trying to go to sleep here. Cody grumbled, annoyed by the fact that he couldn't sleep, even when he was tired.

"Hey, Cody. What's wrong?" a familiar voice whispered to the bottom bunk. Noah was up reading his book, considering there wasn't any other time he could do so. He heard Cody's grumbling, while the latter beamed at him.

"Can't sleep."

"Come up here, and sleep with me, Cody." Right after he said it, Noah blushed. Cody probably took it the wrong way, but pretended not to. The brunette climbed up to Noah's bed, before laying next to the bookworm. He rested his head on Noah's chest before drifting off to sleep.

In the Killer Bass' cabin…

"Ugh! This is the worst thing ever. Now that Heather's on the other team, I can't conspire with her! I need a new ally. Even with Trent's help, I can't take down everyone!" Katie vented to herself as she twisted and turned in bed. She began to think about possible additions to her alliance, before having an epiphany. Katie smirked, before drifting off into sleep.

In the morning, Lindsay woke up later than everyone else. She walked over to the bathrooms in her burnt orange heels, before fixing herself up. Lindsay placed her baby blue bandana on her blonde hair, before smiling, content with herself. She walked back to the cabin, before finding that everyone else disappeared.

"Huh? What's going on?" Lindsay tilted her head in confusion. As she stepped into the cabin more, all of the Killer Bass jumped out from behind the doors, hurling water balloons at the dumb blonde. She tried to cover her face with her hands, but it was not suitable protection; in other words, Lindsay was soaked.

Her mascara ran down her cheeks, staining them with black liquid. She gave the Killer Bass a puppy-dog look, causing guilt to plague them. Then, Lindsay ran back to the bathroom before freshening herself up again.

"Guys…I think that might've gone too far." Beth stated the obvious. However, Katie disagreed, laughing as she responded.

"Did you see her face? That was hilarious!" Katie giggled, slapping her knee. Then, she put on her newest addition to her outfit; a charcoal-colored newsboy cap. After that, Katie beckoned for Trent to come near her, as the musician sighed; he knew that Katie would probably be scheming another person's elimination.

"Let me guess. You want someone eliminated."

"Right you are, my ally. However, my target resides on the other team, instead of the Killer Bass."

"Planting evidence again?"

"You got it. I want to get rid of that goth girl, Gwen." At this, Trent froze, not showing any emotion. He didn't want Gwen gone; she was his crush, and he hadn't even made his move yet!

"Katie, as your ally, I strongly suggest you pick someone else to go."

"Why?"

"If Gwen were against the two of us in the final 3, she'd be easy to beat."

"You don't know that she'll be there, though. Would you rather have Eva, then?"

"No, bu-"

"No buts! Gwen's going home, and that's final!" Trent felt like he was going to kill Katie, but he restrained himself. He walked away, leaving Katie to do her scheming on her own.

"Attention, all campers! Report to the docks in fifteen minutes, or else face instant elimination!" Chris' voice boomed over the PA. All of the campers hustled out of their cabins to meet Chris at the dock, where the host was waiting with Chef.

"This week's challenge will be a fun one, especially for the boys! The challenge is paintball!" The girls rolled their eyes, while the boys cheered loudly. Even Noah had played paintball, and he wasn't exactly a sports enthusiast. The cheering died down after a while, to listen to the rules.

"The arena will be all around the camp! The last one standing wins immunity for their team, and gets them a private screening of Skyfall, the new James Bond movie!" At this, everyone cheered, including the girls. One by one, each of the campers were thrown a paintball gun, with five hundred paintballs loaded in them. The Killer Bass were given red guns, while the Screaming Gophers were given bright green ones. It would be a miracle if they ran out.

"Make sure to be aware of your surroundings! Whoever gets hit with a paintball is out! I will give each of you twenty minutes to hide!" Chris announced, before each of the campers dispersed. Some hid in the forest, while others hid in other places. After the twenty minutes were up, the game began.

Noah and his alliance formed their own mini team, aiming to take out anyone from the Killer Bass. They were hiding up in the trees, cloaked by the green leaves on the branches. Then, they heard something. All of them aimed their paintball guns at something towards their right. It turned out to be a bug, as they all relaxed.

Suddenly, a light blue paintball hurtled towards them, aimed at Noah. The bookworm dodged, just barely missing the ball of paint as it exploded harmlessly on the oak branches, staining it a sky blue. Noah breathed a sigh of relief, before firing back in the same direction. It missed by a considerable amount, and another paintball was fired back. It hit the branches, before Izzy jumped down, and fired her paintball gun like there was no tomorrow. The attacker was revealed to be Trent, who fell as three of Izzy's paintballs made contact with his chest. His shirt was splattered with a mix of red, blue, and green, as Izzy cheered.

"Yes! E-Scope gets one!" Izzy cheered, before retreating to the comfort of the trees. The Screaming Gophers were now winning by one.

Katie was hiding in a cave, where she was hiding behind a brown rock. She took off her hat, before finding another rock. Then, Katie found a stick, and started to create friction, forming a fire. It was her way of confusing her opponents, as she sprinted across the forest to find another place to hide. However, she had caught the eye of Gwen, who chased after her.

Katie noticed this, and fired two paintballs at the goth. Gwen evaded the attack, before returning the action with her own five paintballs. Katie just barely missed them, as she ran farther and farther ahead of Gwen. The goth tried to fire one more, but Katie was too far away. Gwen wiped away the sweat on her forehead, before returning to Bridgette, Dawn, and B, her mini-team.

However, the goth fell as she felt two paintballs hit her back. Her attacker had fled before she could get a good look, as Gwen rose up, grumbling. She trudged back to the docks, to find Chris and Chef.

Suddenly, Noah dropped down, and asked his alliance to follow. He had seen another hiding spot, near a cave. They all nodded, before dropping down from the trees. However, as they ran across the forest, they didn't expect to see Beth, and Harold waiting at the cave. As soon as the team came into their sight, they began firing. Cody and Izzy ran away, as they saw Noah and Eva get hit with a barrage of paintballs. They were covered in a variety of colors, as they trudged back towards the dock.

"Come on, Cody! E-Scope has an idea!" Izzy instructed the tech geek. He followed the crazy girl in the fields, where another event was taking place.

"B, how is your work going with the paintball gun?" Dawn asked the working contestant. He nodded with a smile, signifying progress. B was working on making the paintball gun a bit more useful, by making the paintballs fire faster, and the gun have less recoil.

"Good job, B. I have to say, I underestimated you." Bridgette said, walking near the two contestants. She smiled, which B returned with a wider one. Then, the paintball gun B was modifying made a clicking sound, meaning that the device was complete. He gave the device to Dawn, as the three went off in pursuit of any Killer Bass.

"Harold, where do you think Lindsay and DJ are?"

"I don't know, Beth. I hope they aren't out yet, though. We need them for their skills." Hrold said, shrugging. Then, the two heard something; they hid in the cave until they saw Bridgette walking, apparently unsuspecting of the Killer Bass in the cave. Bridgette paused, and put a finger on her chin in thought. Did she want to go into the cave, or not? She decided against it, and continued to walk.

"Get her, Beth!"

"Now, guys!" This last remark came from Bridgette, who had undoubtedly seen the two hiding in the cave. Dawn and B came from behind, and fired their paintballs, with Dawn's going especially fast due to B's contraption. By the time they had stopped firing, Beth and Harold were covered in paint, and reported to the docks.

"Katie? Why are you doing this? I thought we were friends!" Heather asked the evil girl. Katie cackled at the thought of her having friends.

"Are you kidding me? We were only in an alliance; we were never friends! Plus, it's not my fault you got put on the other team!"

"Well…uh…take this!" Heather tried to fire her paintball gun, but as soon as she stopped, Katie was already firing at her. Heather tried to avoid the paintballs, but got hit on the legs by one, causing her to fall. As she felt her face feel pain from landing in some grass, she grumbled, reporting to the docks.

After Heather left, Katie ran farther into the woods trying to find another hiding spot. However, she didn't expect to see DJ running the same way, and they collided together. The two fell down, with both of their heads hurting from impact.

"Oh, hi, Katie. We're down 3 players for our team, and it's only me, you, and Lindsay. Wanna stick together?" DJ asked Katie. She immediately thought about saying no, but then realized that if the rest of the Gophers targeted her, she wouldn't stand a chance. If she had DJ and Lindsay, they could be punching bags.

"All right, DJ. What are we doing?"

"We know where Bridgette, Dawn, and B are, so we can get them by surprise." DJ planned, as Katie nodded. The two ran off to where DJ was going to, when they saw Lindsay already there. They were behind the trees, when they saw Bridgette, Dawn, and B. The three were walking across the fields, talking about their next move.

"Now!" DJ called out, before the three remaining Killer Bass jumped out from behind the trees, and fired as many paintballs as they could at their opponents. B and Dawn were taken out immediately, while Bridgette managed to dodge. However, she hadn't seen a root that she was stepping over, and got her foot lodged in it. After that, Bridgette fell, causing the paintballs to be easy to hit her with.

"All that's left is Cody and Izzy, I think. We're in the lead!" DJ cheered, with Lindsay clapping. Katie just blew some hair out of her face, as the three continued to strategize while walking across the fields.

"Izzy, this is a great idea!" Cody complimented the crazy redhead. She had found leaves and rocks, which they covered themselves with to camouflage. Izzy giggled at Cody's compliment, before standing still when they realized that people were coming.

"Quiet, young Codmaster! The enemy approaches!" Izzy said, shushing the brunette's speaking. They stood as still as they could, trying to relax their muscles. DJ, Katie, and Lindsay were walking towards them with their guards up, as they held their red paintball guns close to themselves. Cody and Izzy had hidden their green ones under them. It hurt, but sacrifices needed to be made.

"Now, Cody!" Izzy screamed while picking up her paintball gun. This surprised the three who were walking towards them, and Izzy fired successful shots at DJ and Katie. Cody got up, and tried to grab his gun, but he was shot quicker by Katie. It was now between Lindsay and Izzy for the win. A paint-soaked Katie facepalmed, as she grumbled about how it would be another loss. Lindsay twirled her blonde hair, as Izzy focused on targeting the blonde.

However, something unexpected happened. Izzy fired at Lindsay, but she bended down to look at a quarter she had found. The paintball had whizzed right past her, and Lindsay picked up the gun. She tilted her head in confusion, before clicking a button. The button sent a paintball gun right at Izzy, who was taken offguard by the blonde's actions. She was hit square in the chest, splattering blue paint on her green top. Katie and DJ were gaping like halibuts, while Izzy looked ashamed of losing. DJ started cheering, and carried Lindsay on his big shoulders. The blonde cheered, thinking that she wasn't useless.

"And the winners are the Killer Bass! Gophers, I'll see you at elimination tonight!" Chris exclaimed, while appearing at the scene of the last battle. Cody and Izzy grumbled before joining the other Gophers at the docks.

"Who beat you? Was it Katie?" Heather questioned the two newest losers. Cody stayed mute, while Izzy only muttered one word.

"Lindsay."

The Screaming Gophers and the Killer Bass were in the Mess Hall to discuss the events of the day. It was a tradition that was usually not recorded for cameras, but Chris wanted to film Katie's manipulation.

The black-haired girl walked over to the Screaming Gophers, with her heels clicking at every step. She slapped her hands onto the table, between Dawn and B.

"Gwen! Why did you steal my makeup?" Katie yelled, falsely accusing the goth of thievery. Gwen quickly put her hands up in defense, and tried to reason with the evil girl.

"Katie, I'd never do something like that!"

"Oh yeah? I saw you take it!"

"When?"

"Last night!" At this point, Gwen and Katie were all up on each other's faces, while the rest of the Gophers stepped away from the two girls. Suddenly, Bridgette walked over to the table, wanting to help Gwen.

"I know Gwen. She would never take that!" Bridgette tried to calm both of them down, but knew that the argument was intense. A girl's makeup was everything to the former.

"Then how come I found this where the box was?" Katie said, taking out a piece of paper she held behind her. It had some teal hair taped on it, to keep it still, and the paper read the following:

Dear Katie,

Since you are clearly the one responsible for Trent's almost elimination, it's time for me to mess with you. I've stolen your makeup box, and all of your favorite lipstick, and mascara. Have fun looking ugly.

All of the Gophers gasped, while Gwen was too shocked to respond. Then, her face became red with anger, so much so that you could almost see steam coming out of her ears.

"I didn't do anything! Someone framed me!" Gwen cried out while Trent watched from afar. He felt his heart rip into two as he saw Katie trying to make Gwen look bad. Gwen saw his sad look, before continuing on.

"Who else besides you has teal hair?"

"I don't know! I had hair missing from some of my left side, and someone probably took it!"

"Sure. Like we'll ever believe a goth." This caused Gwen to outrage. She pounced on Katie, slapping her back and forth as she saw her cheeks get red from the pain. Trent was laughing on the inside; if he was laughing on the outside, Katie would've made sure his elimination was soon. After Gwen was done, she lifted the evil girl by her shirt, and said something to her.

"If you ever say that to me again, I'll show you the true meaning of slasher films." Gwen threatened. Katie had a look of fear on her bruised face, as all the other Gophers backed away from Gwen. Katie smirked, but only for a moment, as she was put down. The Killer Bass girl walked away with an evil smile on her face, knowing that even if her plan failed, Gwen still looked bad in the end.

That night, all of the Screaming Gophers were on the chopping block. Everyone was on the hitlist, and no one wanted to be there. They sat on the tree stumps, before Chris came to them.

"Gophers, it's surprising to see you here! I expected the Killer Bass to lose! I mean, come on, you lost to Lindsay of all people!" Chris mocked the losing team, as they gave him death glares. Chris suddenly backed off before explaining the process that they were all familiar with.

"Go to the voting booths, and vote for who you want to go home." Chris explained as the Gophers lined up to go to the voting booths. They sauntered off, each of them knowing who to vote for.

Confessional

-Heather-

"It's obvious Katie wanted that girl gone. However, since I'm on a different team, she won't know my vote. I vote for Izzy; she could be a threat later on in the game."

-Bridgette-

"I'm sure that Gwen didn't do anything to Katie. I vote for Izzy; she lost us the challenge today."

-Dawn-

"Katie's aura signified that she was lying. Izzy has my vote; you lost us the challenge."

-B-

He holds up a sign that has Heather with a red X. He shrugs, signifying that he does not know who to vote for.

The Gophers returned to the campfire, with Chris waiting with a smirk. They all had cast their votes, and waited for the final decision. Chris held a tray of eight marshmallows, as he announced the results.

"The following people are safe for another day. Let's see!

Heather!

Eva!

Bridgette!

Dawn!

B!

Noah!

Cody!"

It was down to Izzy or Gwen. Chris smirked, while looking pretty shocked at who was voted out.

"To make this more dramatic, I'll read out the votes.

Izzy, 1 vote for you.

Another vote for Izzy!

Wait, this one's for Gwen.

Another one for Izzy!

Gwen's got this vote.

Gwen got this other vote, too!

Izzy got another vote!

Gwen gets another vote!

The final vote is…"

Chris paused to add drama. Izzy looked pretty confident, while Gwen began to bite her nails in anxiety.

"Heather! There's a tie in votes! It's time for a tiebreaker!" Chris announced, at all the campers' shocked faces. They were certain the person they voted for was to go home, but Chris told them otherwise. Izzy got ready for the challenge, while Gwen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Anyways, the challenge is to get most of one camper splattered with your color of paintball in 30 seconds! Izzy, you'll be electric violet, while Gwen, you'll be teal!" Chris said, handing Gwen and Izzy their own paintball guns. Izzy's was a dark violet, while Gwen's was a sky blue. Chris pushed Heather in front of the two campers, while she looked on in shock. She covered her eyes in order to prevent serious injury.

"Ready! Go!" Chris announced, and Izzy and Gwen began firing rapidly. Gwen continued to repeatedly mash the button to try and get Heather. So far, the electric violet was covering more, when Gwen panicked. She began firing more rapidly, covering more and more of Heather with teal paint. A timer went off, just as Izzy fired her last few shots.

"Times up! Let's examine the contents of the paint of the camper!" Chris began to giggle as he observed Heather. Her arms were covered with teal, but her torso was all electric violet. Gwen had gotten her kneecaps, but Izzy had gotten her legs. It was clear who the winner was.

"The winner is Izzy! The Dock of Shame waits for you, Gwen!" Chris announced, while Noah's alliance cheered. Gwen shot them dirty looks before walking across the wooden docks of Camp Wawanakwa. Suddenly, a guy ran over to her, and it was one Gwen was familiar with.

"Trent?"

"Gwen! I'm so sorry you had to go!"

"It's fine. Who needs this show anyways?

"Well, this is the perfect time to tell you how I feel." Trent said, before kissing Gwen abruptly. She was taken aback by the kiss, but then she broke the kiss while turning her back to Trent. The Gophers' eyes showed their shock, and surprise. Trent felt like his heart was broken, and scattered into a million pieces.

"Trent, I'm sorry. I'm dating Duncan…he and I hooked up before he was eliminated."

"What? But he's homophobic!"

"I can't be the one to question his beliefs, since he was raised by a cop family."

"B-but…"

"I'm sorry, Trent…" Gwen apologized to the heartbroken boy before stepping onto the boat. She faced away from the island as the boat drove off to wherever. Trent felt a single tear stream down his cheek before his expression hardened.

"Katie's ways aren't that bad. In fact, I think I could improve upon them." Trent whispered to himself before sauntering back to the Killer Bass cabin. He and Katie would have to do a lot of planning together.
