(Author's note #1: Hello, everyone, DSX62415 here. My holiday vacation is over, that means it's time to get with some episode 3 trivia on "Total Drama Build Fighters".
Fact #1: This episode featured the speaking introductions of Harold, Shawn, Sky, Brick, Sammy, Dawn, Ella, Leonard, and Tammy.
Fact #2: This episode featured the nonspeaking introductions of Tyler, Owen, and Ellody.
Fact #3: This episode featured the GunPla debuts of Harold, Shawn, Brody, Devin, Ellody, Owen, Brick, Sky, DJ, Sammy, Tyler, Cameron, Jasmine, Geoff, Trent, Zoey, Leonard, and Dawn.
Fact #4 This episode's title: "Battle Fever G" is a play on the title of the third installment of Japan's long running "Super Sentai" series: "Battle Fever J". For those of you who don't know what "Super Sentai" is, it's basically "Power Rangers" before it gets brought over to the west, only they have been airing the show since the 1970's.
Fact #5: This episode dug into the origins of Dawn and Ella's relationship, which may or may not be explained further in a future episode.
Fact #6: For those of you who didn't figure it out right away, Sammy is a fan of the "TDBF" version of "Attack On Titan", which will be referred to as "Assault On Colossus". And the members of the Muskouka Recon Battalion will be parodies of the characters from "AOT", who will be featured in future episodes.
That's enough trivia for now, so let's get things started. GunPla fight all set, ready...GO!)
Total Drama Build Fighters
Episode 4: All For One
(Opening Theme: "Win Tough Fight" by You Yamakazi)
The episode begins during the afternoon after the previous one as we see a pair of legs covered by a pair of olive green capri pants with dark brown sandals with grey straps rushing across the school yard. The scene then shifts to the outside of the Wawanakwa High GunPla battle club's headquarters, as Estwynn Paratus, Katie Sanders and Sadie Masterson were waiting patiently for someone, or at least something. We then shift to the side view of the movements of a female upper torso covered by an off white long sleeve shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the upper elbows under a light grey short sleeve cardigan sweater. A pair of tan arms were holding onto both a clipboard and a shoe box pressed to the female's midsection as she clung to both for dear life. We then shift back to the battle club building, as Estwynn was checking his cell phone, or more to the point, the time that it was showing.
Estwynn: Where is she?
We now see the side view of the head of a Hispanic female with brown hair and black eyes above freckled cheeks with a worried look on her face as she hurried to her destination as fast as she could. And if you haven't figured it out yet, she's heading for the battle club building, where Estwynn and the "Best Female Friends For Life" were waiting for her to show up.
Katie: Maybe she isn't coming.
Sadie: Yeah, maybe the student council is keeping her so busy, she can't get out of whatever they want her to handle.
The scene the shifts back to our rushing female as she swiftly dodges a myriad of student created obstacles, such as skateboards, student projects, hopeful drama club tryouts looking to get into the fall play when it gets announced, and so on.
Estwynn: We'll give her another three minutes, and if she isn't here by then, we start the final match of round one without her.
The clock was mentally unwinding in the mind of the mentioned fighter as she made one final dash to her destination, just as Estwynn was about to give the orders to Katie and Sadie to close the door behind them.
Courtney Pedroia: I'M HERE! I'm here, please don't tell me that I'm too late.
Estwynn: Pushing it a little close, aren't we, Ms. Pedroia?
Courtney: I'm sorry, but the student council was in the middle of a huge argument regarding what play they want the drama club to do this fall, and they couldn't make up their minds between "Wicked", "Repo: The Genetic Opera", and a stage production of "Star Fox" of all things. It went on for over TWENTY minutes, and there STILL isn't a clear choice between anyone.
Ella: I hope it isn't "Repo", that one really scares me. I watched the movie version for Music Appreciation class last year, and I couldn't sleep for a week without having a nightmare about the "repo man" afterwards.
Courtney: Don't look at me, I wanted to do "Robin Hood: Men In Tights".
Estwynn: You two can talk to the drama club and the student council later. Right now, it's time to begin the final match of the first round: this free for all match will determine who gets the remaining spot in the second round, so I expect you all to give it your full efforts. Our fighters will be Sierra Gaffigan VS Courtney Pedroia VS "B" Smith VS Sam Rogan VS Rodney Jacobs VS Mary Corvino VS Tammy Lawson VS Mike Abbrahm. Will all the fighters that I've just listed please approach the battle arena.
Courtney was joined by Mike, Sierra, "B", Tammy, and Sam alongside a very tall and muscular Caucasian male with orange hair and black eyes under freckled cheeks wearing a white tee shirt under a pair of dark blue overalls with tan work boots, and an average sized Caucasian female with waist length hazelnut hair and black eyes covered by a pair of glasses wearing a sweater that started off white at the bottom, but changed colors reaching different shades of brown as it reached the top section over a gray shirt with gunmetal skinny jeans and red high top sneakers. As the eight fighters made their way to the arena, Jay, Mickey, Bridgette, Geoff, Brody, Zoey Bale, Jasmine Tompson, Carrie and Devin formed a little group to watch the match.
Jay: This is it: we finally get to see who we have to go up against in the next round.
Brody: Totally, man. The anticipation is like, killing me.
Carrie: Who do you guys think is gonna win?
Devin: I'be never really seen Courtney fight, just here and there on occasion. "B" is pretty skilled with his Master Gundam, Mary probably spent the last couple of days looking back at their past battle experiences to pick out the best Striker pack for the job, Sam is pretty good with close range and speed fighting, Rodney and Sierra might have some new stuff up their sleeves from over the summer, and Tammy is a total wild card. So I would probably put my money on Mike to win.
Geoff: Same here, dude.
Bridgette: He did help us get to the finals of the Under 19 All Canada GunPla battle championship qualifiers last year.
Zoey Bale: We probably would have won too, except we had to fight this really powerful team from Peaceville.
Mickey: What do you mean by that?
Jasmine Tompson: I think I can explain that, mates. Last year, one of our three fighter teams made it all the way to the final round of a tournament where the winner would go on to compete in a special version of the Canadian GunPla Battle National Championships' three on three division for players under the age of nineteen, pretty much anyone who would still be in grades 5 through 12 I guess. We were doing pretty well too, that is until the final round against a team from the neighboring city of Peaceville.
Zoey: They called themselves Team "Grojband" because they were apparently also an up and coming music group that was trying to find their image at the time, I think they still are now. And I wouldn't blame them, considering that they only could have been in the 7th grade during the tournament.
Jasmine: Anyways, Zoey here, her boyfriend Mike, and that Dawn girl went up against the band's lead vocalist/ guitarist, drummer,and base player, and in the name of the Outback, did we get our rears handed to us.
Geoff: Seriously, that base player chick, she had this custom Strike Freedom Gundam that could like, change parts on its backpack to give it the powers of other Gundams, and every time she fought, she wiped the floor with any team they were facing off against.
Brody: That dudette was one tough little hombre.
Jasmine: But their title run was short lived though, they only made it to the second round before getting beaten.
Bridgette: Well, we'll find out who we have to go up against soon, the fight's about to start.

System Voice: Beginning Plavisky particle dispersal.
The blue particles descended upon the eight fighters as the arena transformed into an empty city inside of a space colony.
System Voice: Field 5: City. Please set your GunPla.
Mike set down a 1/144 High Grade version of the Shin Musha Gundam from the "Gundam Musou/ Dynasty Warriors Gundam" games as Sam set a 1/144 High Grade "Remastered" version of the MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Frame that had all of the red parts on the mobile suit and its flight unit painted into a glossy violet. Sierra set a 1/144 High Grade GF13-050NSW Nobel Gundam that had its recolored to match its builder, and had special mounts attached to its lower legs to store additional weapons while Rodney set his 1/144 High Grade Universal Century RX-79Ez8 Gundam from the "08th MS Team" OVA series. Mary set down a 1/144 High Grade "All Gundam Project" version of the MBF-02 Strike Gundam Rouge that was equipped with the "Noir" Striker pack as Tammy set down a modified 1/144 High Grade variant of the Knight Guncannon which used the 1/144 High Grade RX-77-2 Guncannon version "Revive" as a base for its mold. And finally we see "B" set down a 1/144 High Grade GF13-01NHII Master Gundam which had all of the places that were supposed to be yellow painted orchid while Courtney set down a modified 1/144 High Grade CB-01.5 1.5 or "eyes" Gundam that had been painted into a primarily blue and violet color scheme, and was equipped with an additional GN Katana sword as an additional weapon.
System Voice: Battle start.
All eight units flew into the battlefield at break neck speeds, either seeking a hiding place to wait out the battle until only a few people were left, or just straight geting into the city center and clashing head on. Case in point: "B"s Master Gundam almost immediately began fighting with the "Sailor V" themed mobile fighter used by Sierra inside the city square.
(Author's Note #2: I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say that most of you know that the Nobel Gundam is based off of "Sailor V", the precursor to "Sailor Moon", common Gundam trivia right there. What you may not know is that the person who made "Sailor Moon" is married to the guy who made "Yu Yu Hakusho", true story. I apologize for the interuption, back to the fighting, what you came here to see, or in this case, read.)
While the two Future Century units clashed, the Ez8 had managed to locate them from a rooftop, and was preparing to open fire on both of them using his long range beam rifle. He knew that one wrong shot, and the two units, along with anyone else who saw the blast could find him and easily overpower him. This attempt was unfortunately met with beam rifle fire from the Strike Rouge, all before he could even squeeze off one shot. This caused Rodney to not only have to move his unit out of the way, but also have to find a new place to hide because he knew that with all of the commotion that was going on in that area, there would be more fighters coming to fight soon, and he really didn't stand much of a chance against all of them. (But then again, he was never that strong of a fighter in the first place, but that's between you and me, so keep it under your hat when you're near him.) Much to the dismay of Rodney, Tammy heard all of the commotion, and was getting ready to charge towards the Ez8 with axe in one hand, and cutlass sword in the other. The Ez8 Gundam was now doing its best to survive a three way duel with one hand being occupied by blocking the strikes of the Knight Guncannon with a beam saber, and the other hand using a machine gun to try and strike down the Strike Rouge , who was swiftly dodging every shot and moving closer to strike with the pair of beam swords that came equipped with the "Noir" Striker pack. Back to the battle between the two "G Gundam" units, Sierra's Nobel Gundam was taking plenty of hits from the silent genius' Master Gundam, and it would seem that "B" was getting ready to end the fight. That is until both fighters were interrupted by the sight of the Shin Musha Gundam's three pronged Yari spear stabbing the ground they were fighting near. The Gundam itself then appeared on top of a building, signaling that Mike Abbrahm wanted in on the skirmish as the three units began fighting at a furious pace until they were again interrupted, this time by the fire of a beam rifle. The shot came from Sam and his Gundam Astray as it rushed into the battle with the unit's famous "Gerbera Straight" Katana sword in hand, ready to strike down all who would dare get in its way. And while all of this was happening around her, Courtney hand positioned her Gundam into a fairly decent hiding place, away from the carnage that was going on around her and hoping that she could hide out long enough so any other fighters left standing wouldn't be able fight at their full strength. At least that's what she thought she could do until a Plavisky energy blast from one of the Master Gundam's palms exploded in the nearby area of where she was hiding. Fearing that she had been discovered, Courtney maneuvered her 1.5 Gundam out of her current hiding place in an attempt to find some sort of safer ground. Once she thought that she found a decent cover place, she then armed her Gundam's .5 pack in its "Attack Mode", and fired a series of beam shots against the others, most of which missed their marks, except for one. The one that did hit caused Sam to eject his shield before it exploded. She then had her Gundam enter its "Flight Mode" to escape from her aggressors until the mobile suit found another place to cover itself against any attacks. The 1.5 Gundam then had its backpack enter its "Cannon Mode", and fired of a charged shot which managed to cause Rodney's Gundam to explode into oblivion, taking him out of the match.
Geoff: Ooooh! One down, six to go.
Brody: And I think it's gonna go down to five real quick, look!
Courtney's cover was soon blown apart by a bazooka shot coming from the Strike Rouge, causing the 2.5 Gundam to return to using "Flight Mode" in order to flee the area, she then used the pack's "Rifle Mode" to fire beams at its attacker. Mary quickly dodged the shots before returning fire using her own beam rifle with Courtney copying her methods with swift grace. Back towards the five way battle, Sierra was using her Gundam's beam ribbons to try and grab ahold of one of the other four Gundams, and curb stomp its head unit to help clear the room. The only flaw with her plan was that most of the other mobile suits were in the air fighting one another, meaning that she couldn't exactly drag one of them down to carry out her plan., at least not as easy as she planned it. So Sierra got a new idea: hide out until most of the others were beaten, then make her move when the remaining fighters have exhausted their weapons and power. She then maneuvered her mobile fighter away from the main skirmish with hopes of finding decent cover, she was rushing around the arena as fast as she could, all the while trying to avoid being discovered. That is until she ran into a mid-air beam saber duel between Courtney and Mary, so Sierra tried to use her beam ribbons to rope them in to take them out. You think that would go as well as you think it would, except that Sierra's Nobel Gundam was met with a stab in the chest from the Strike Rouge's beam saber, causing the Future Century mobile fighter to fall to the ground in defeat.
Jasmine: That's two, five more, and we get our top 16.
Harold: I got 10 bucks on Mary.
"Beardo": Deal me in on some of that action.
Estwynn: Or better yet, you don't and say you did. Need I remind you the penalty for gambling?
Harold and "Beardo": Sorry, coach.
Back at the fighting, Mike, Sam, "B", and Tammy were still in the middle of a fierce four way fight to the finish with the silent genius doing fairly well when it came to dodging and blocking any attacks that came his way while striking their opponent's weak points to take them out of the running, at least on Tammy's part since Mike and Sam were crossing swords in an effort to slice one another in half like a loaf of pretzel bread. Tammy knew that she needed to get some distance from the Neo Hong Kong mobile fighter so she can use her ace in the hole to move on in the match. She then leaped backwards to get some much needed distance and pulled out a red orb from her satchel bag that she had the Guncannon sport, it was then that Leonard Wattson knew exactly what she was planning.
Leonard: So she's planning to use the heavy artillery to remove Sir "B" from the fight, a bit of a risk, but it could work.
Sky: Oh, don't tell me she's planning on using...
Leonard: One of her elemental bombs? Yes, it would appear so.
Sky: She does know that using those while an opponent knows where she is would be a huge flight risk, right?
Leonard: She wouldn't if she didn't recognize the payoffs that come with the risks.
Samantha: Wait a minute, how the hell did she even get involved with this brawl when she was fighting with the Strike Rouge and the Ez8?
Leonard: Oh, ye of little faith. Tammy's bombs are for more than sheer destruction.
We then flashback to the fight between Mary, Tammy and Rodney's fight from before Courtney's original hiding spot was found. Tammy knew that she could probably take down Rodney's Ez8 without much problem in a one on one fight, but Mary would be more of a challenge, especially with more than one fighter thrown into the fray, so she then pulled out a violet orb from the Guncannon's satchel, and slammed it into the ground. The resulting explosion created a veil of black smoke that Tammy used to escape the skirmish and find a place to hide until the near end of the match.
Leonard: The darkness elemental bomb is a perfect tool for quick escapes and confusing your adversaries whilst you use their distracted states to your advantage.
Shawn: Okay, if that's the case, why didn't she use the smoke to take out Mary and Rodney at the same time amidst the confusion?
Leonard: Easy, my undead fearing friend, she didn't do that because she uh...
Samantha: You're as lost about this as we are, aren't you?
Leonard: Silence, and all will be revealed in time.
Tammy then threw the red orb towards the Master Gundam, only to have it be kicked into the air by her opponent before it exploded. The medieval themed Guncannon then had its head unit crushed by the glowing right palm of the Neo Hong Kong mobile fighter, causing it to explode and take Tammy out of the running.
Carrie: That's three.
Tammy: I did better than I thought I would.
Courtney and Mary were still in the midst of their beam saber duel as Plavisky sparks roared into life and faded out of existence with each fierce saber clash. One of Mary's strikes managed to slice into the shield of Courtney's 2.5 Gundam, causing her to eject it before it could explode. The two units were zooming around the battle arena at break neck speeds, all the while avoiding the attacks of the other remaining fighters and clashing blades every few seconds, just trying to get the upper hand on the other to claim their win. The battle between these two strategic fighters ultimately came to an end when Courtney was finally able to locate a weak point in the defensive stance of the Strike Rouge, and pierced the head unit of Mary's mobile suit using her beam saber, causing the Cosmic Era mobile suit to fall to the ground in defeat.
Cameron Wilkons: And four, I;m surprised that it took only this long to reach the halfway point.
Ella: I don't think I can watch anymore. Please let me know who wins, no wait, don't tell me, no, do.
While Ella was dealing with her internal struggles, we return to the fight between the three Gundams that was pretty much uninterrupted by the duel between the 2.5 Gundam and the Strike Rouge, where "B" was doing an impressive job at dodging and blocking whatever attacks that Mike and Sam had to offer. Sam officially had enough of it, and pulled out his Astray's main weapon: a large, single edge sword that was nearly identical to the famed "Buster Sword" used by Cloud Strife of "Final Fantasy VII" fame. The giant blade crashed down to the ground, causing massive shock waves, causing the other two fighters to maneuver their Gundams out of the way to try and avoid the destructive forces caused by the blade. The Astray Violet Frame was getting ready to slam the blade into the ground again for another strike when out of the blue, the right arm of the unit was skewered clean off of the body, causing the sword to crash to the ground with the arm still gripping it. The culprit was none other than Courtney's custom 1.5 Gundam, who fired a few shots off at the others using her backpack's "Rifle Mode". Before Sam could get his Gundam to grip the giant blade with its remaining left hand, the head unit was stabbed by the Katana of the Shin Musha Gundam, causing his elimination.
Bridgette: Five.
Brody: Oh, dudes. It's down to "B", Mike and Courtney. Who do you think is gonna come out on top?
Geoff: My money's still on Mike taking it.
"Beardo": I don't know, man. "B"s pretty much looks like he's got this fight in the bag with all of his evasions and counters.
Brick: And Courtney's managed to take out more fighters than everyone else.
Mickey: Whoever wins, they're gonna be really tough to beat if you have to go up against then, right, bro?
Jay: I think we can count on that, and me probably not surviving more than a few minutes against them.
Brody: I wouldn't worry about that, little dude. "Geoff-ster" and I will help you train over the weekend if you want.
Jay: Wait, Estwynn lets you come here on the weekends too?
Geoff: Well, yes and no. We can be here when there isn't school or during vacations, just not without Estwynn's permission, seeing that he pretty much owns the joint.
Estwynn: I'm afraid that you won't be able to use the building this weekend, I intend to so some cleaning up that I may have missed over the summer, and I don't want any of you to inhale any fumes from any solutions I might be using. But I do have another idea regarding your training, Jay.
Jay: What is it?
Estwynn: I'll tell you before you go home. This way you can concentrate on your possible competition.
Jay returned his attention to the battle where Mike's Musha Gundam, "B"s Master Gundam, and Courtney's 2.5 Gundam were gathered into the center of the city, or at least what was left of it from all of the fighting, just waiting for someone to make the first move in the style of a classic movie standoff. Courtney then used her main beam rifle and her backpack's "Rifle Mode" to fire two sets of shots at her opponents, only to have them dodge each blast in different directions. Mike then grabbed the "Gerbera Straight" from the downed Gundam Astray Violet Frame, and charged towards the "Gundam 00" side story machine, only to clash with its beam saber instead. "B" then used the beam sash of his Master Gundam to grab ahold of the Musha Gundam's left arm, only to be thrown into a nearby building while it evaded one of the 2.5 Gundam's beam saber slashes. Just before the wings of the customized "Anno Domini" mobile suit could transform into their "Cannon Mode", they were sliced clean off of the backpack by the two swords used by the sentient samurai mobile fighter as the Gundam fell to the ground. Before Courtney could get back into a fighting stance after the loss of her mobile suit's best weapon, the Master Gundam had caught the 2.5 Gundam's right leg with its beam sash, and tossed it into the air before destroying Courtney's head unit.
Gwen:Seriously, I'm surprised that it only took that long for Courtney to be beaten, I was expecting her to reach the final two.
LeShawna DeVry: Gotta' admit, sista' still made it pretty far.
Dawn: So it's down to Mike and "B" now.
Trent Jameson: Figured that it would come down to two of the best fighters in the whole school, the only question left is "Who wins"?
The two remaining Gundams prepared themselves into a battle stance after Mike stabbed both of the swords it was using into the ground next to each hand. From there, the time came for the two to fight at their full strength. The only problem was that both fighters were standing still in their battle stances, and this went on for a good thirty seconds before it started to rain in the arena around them.
Geoff: Uh, why aren't those two slugging it out like there's no tomorrow?
Cameron: They're sizing each other up, getting a read on one another, just hoping to find a weak point that they can exploit for the win.
Zoey: That, and they just want to look cool for everyone here.
The scene shifts to a single drop of water dropping to the ground in front of an all black backdrop, signaling the fighters to clash with a swift series of furious close quarters strikes, almost none of them getting through to were they were supposed to hit. The fighting was fast and furious, and there was no clear winner in sight, that was however until the silent genius managed to land an elbow strike to the right leg of the Musha Gundam, causing it to take a crippled stance. With a flash of lightning, "B"s machine unleashed a thunderous series of blows that could barely be seen by the human eye, ultimately ending with an explosive blast that emanated from both of the Master Gundam's palms towards the chest of Mike's machine. "B" had won his place in the second round above several others.
System Voice: Battle ended. Winner: "B" Smith.
The particles dissipated as all eight fighters reclaimed their GunPlas and retreated from the arena, all the while conversing with each other and their peers.
Sam Rogen: Damn, I really thought I could win this time.
Courtney: At least you didn't get all the way to the final three, only to screw it up and lose it all.
Sierra Gaffigan: At least you eliminated more fighters than any of us, other than "B", Mike, Mary, and yourself, the rest of us didn't even land that many hits on anyone.
Mary Corvino: And be lucky that you weren't the first one to give away their position, without the cover you were using, the odds of you being taken out of the fight earlier than you were would have increased by at least 48.623% bare minimum. Give or take a 17.418% margin of error.
Estwynn: Good fighting, everyone. We now have the 16 fighters that will be moving on to the second round. Sadie, if you would be so kind as to list them off.
Sadie: Right away, coach. The fighters moving on to the second round will be as followed: Jay Coulson, LeShawna DeVry, Dakota Milton, Bridgette Sommers, Ella Muse, Carrie Faeloh, Shawn Dixon, Cameron Wilkons, Ellody Bialli, Brody Jennings, Jasmine Tompson, Samantha Saunders, Trent Jameson, Dawn Hawthorne, and finally "B" Smith.
Estwynn: I will announce the matches for the second round on Monday, in the mean time, I hope that you get in some extra training alongside any school work that your teachers may have given you over the weekend. With that, you can all go home, and hopefully, I will see you all here again Monday afternoon. Enjoy your weekends.
While everyone was getting ready to go home for the weekend, the Coulson twins approached Estwynn to address what he had told Jay earlier.
Jay: So, Mr. Paratus, what was that thing that you were talking about to me during the free for all?
Estwynn: Oh, yes. I almost forgot about that, thank you for reminding me. There is something that could be more beneficial to your GunPla training, but I would need to talk to at least one of your legal guardians about it when they come to pick you up.
Mickey: We'll tell our mom that you want to talk to her when she gets here.
Estwynn: Excellent. Geoff, Brody, I'm going to have to talk to you too, because what concerns Jay here also concerns you.
Geoff: If this is about the food fight that erupted during lunch, we totally didn't start it.
Brody: Yeah, coach. It was totally Scott and Duncan.
Estwynn: That's not what I meant, but we may need to speak about THAT later.
Soon enough, the students were leaving the school grounds for the comforts of home. As the car of Jay and Mickey's mother approached the lot to pick them up, the twins walked Estwynn to the front driver seat door so he could speak with their mother about the matter he had not yet even revealed to them.
Mrs. Diane Coulson: So this is the legendary Estwynn Paratus, I thought that you would be a little older.
Estwynn: I have been know for surprising my critics and hecklers often. Before you take your sons home for the day, I would like to talk to you about something.
Diane: And what might that be?
Estwynn: Both of your sons did fairly well in their first GunPla battles, and I think that they have quite the talent for it, but they still haven't reached their full potential yet.
Diane: And you are telling me this because?
Estwynn: If you and your family don't have any plans for the coming weekend, I would like one of you to take them to a hobby shop, and have them build their first GunPlas that they can say that they built all by themselves, and I've made sure that their friends Geoff and Brody will be there to help them out if necessary. I can give you the addresses of a few quality stores within the tri-county area if you're interested.
Diane: I'll discuss it with both of my sons and their father when he gets home from work tonight, and in the meantime, those addresses would be much appreciated in case we decide to take you up on your offer.
Estwynn: If I can have your email address, I can send them to you tonight at the earliest.
Diane then took a shred of paper from her pocket book and wrote down the family's email address, which she then gave to Estwynn.
Diane: There you go.
Estwynn: Thank you kindly.
Diane: Is there anything else you wanted to talk about, Mr. Paratus?
Estwynn: I believe that was just about it. You guys can go if you want to, have a nice weekend.
Diane: You too, Mr. Paratus.
After the exchange of words, the Honda took set off for the comforts of home, later that night, Estwynn was talking with one of his friends on the phone after emailing the addresses to the Coulson family.
Estwynn: I'm telling you, Eddy. These kids are getting better every day. I think this year, I can coach them all the way through the Under 19 Canadian Nationals, and maybe even the World Team Open GunPla Battle Championships. No, I don't think that I'm pushing my luck this time around. Believe me, I made that mistake five years ago, never again. Okay, okay, you might have a good point there, but trust me, these kids have gotten better. Well, most of them have. Alright then, take it easy, man.
Estwynn then hung up the phone and returned to his affairs. Meanwhile, in another part of town, inside of a manor house, a meeting was taking place. A meeting of the members of the group known only as the White Fang. Taylor Rathbone was sitting on one of her family's love seeats while David DeSanto and Amanda Saunders took seats in separate arm chairs, waiting for someone.
David DeSanto: Bet you that our "mysterious benefactor" doesn't show up to this meeting either.
Taylor Rathbone: Like they ever show up to these meetings. I bet they think that there all like, high and mighty, just because they're the ones funding our operations.
Amanda Saunders: They can remain hidden for the time being, just as long as they help me do away with my pathetic excuse of a former sister, Spareamy once and for all, after that, they better be showing their face to me. Because if they don't, I start making their lives so f...
Dave: Upbupbupbup. Language, Ms, Saunders.
Amy: Oh, shut up, you neat freak. Besides, the boss should be here any minute now so we can start this damn meeting. Then we can gripe about our financial backer's whole mystery complex all we want.
After those words were spoken, a Caucasian female with long flared out orange hair and light blue eyes wearing a goldenrod colored sweater under a white button up shirt with a dark blue skirt and black flats joined the entered the room with a ten inch tablet in hand.
Taylor: Alright, I'll bite. What's with the tablet?
Dave: Another one of your plans to take control of the city, i assume?
Scarlett Crider: Not this time, my loyal generals. I am pleased to announce that our financial backer, who wishes to remain anonymous for the time being, shall be joining us for tonight's meeting.
Amy: Seriously, whoever they are that's been funding us finally has the balls to meet us face to face at one of these meetings?
Scarlett: In a way, yes and no. They will be joining us, but through means of video communication instead.
Dave: Knew it was too good to be true.
The leader of the White Fang then set down the tablet on the coffee table near the main sofa of the room as the others gathered around. Scarlett then awakened the tablet from its "Sleep Mode" as the four maniacs were met with the image of a male figure covered in shadows.
"Mysterious Benefactor": I assume that things are going...smoothly on your front thanks to my finances?
Scarlett: Oh, yes. Everything is going just as I have planned it would. Those fools with Dark Avalon and the school's precious "battle club" have been so busy fighting against each other, that our plans have been carried our almost without notice.
"Mysterious Benefactor": And by "almost", you mean?
Dave: Just some bystanders who have no involvement with either faction, completely harmless to our plans, really.
"Mysterious Benefactor": Make sure that it stays that way. I'm spending good money to fund your group's efforts because I believe that you have untapped potential thay you have yet to unlock. With my backing, I expect you all to be going after a much bigger prize than your current goals.
Scarlett: Trust me, your expectations will be met in due time. But in the meantime, we must start from the roots, and work our way to a higher ideal.
"Mysterious Benefactor": Excellent, I intend to have you keep your word. Unfortunately, my time grows short, so until the next time...
Amy: Hold it right there!
Dave: What the hell do you think you're doing?!
Taylor: Are you trying to get us to go bankrupt?!
Amy: You spend the money to keep us going, but you have never even once attended one of our meetings in person. In hindsight, it raises the question: "what if this guy is just some con artist trying to scam his debts on all of us?" If he is who he says he is: this rich and powerful person from Tokyo, he'll have the guts to meet us here at our next meeting, face to face.
Scarlett: That's enough out of you! You'll have to forgive my associate, she tends to be a temperamental, and a "loose cannon" at times.
"Mysterious Benefactor": No. She has a point. I commend you for your sense of danger and suspicion, Ms. Saunders. Perhaps I should be more present during the meeting of the group I'm funding from now on. I'll be in touch.
The video feed was cut as the mysterious financial backer of the White Fang ended his part of the conference. It was then that all attention was turned to the hot-headed cheerleader.
Scarlett: I don't know to be either impressed or repulsed by your actions just now, Ms. Saunders.
Amy: Hey, if you want to be roped into the ploys of some scam artist, be my guest. I on the other hand intend to make sure that I can actually fund my revenge against that whelp, Spareamy.
Scarlett: Honestly, this whole inferiority complex between you and your sister is getting in the way of your better judgement. You could be far superior to any one else in comparison if you would focus on our plans instead of your hatred for your seventeen minute younger sibling.
Amy: Hey, I am focused on more things than just destroying Spareamy's life. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to help you eventually take over the Earth, or whatever, just as long as you make sure that I get my dues, like I always have.
Scarlett: Then please see to it that you show your devotion more clearly in the future.
Amy just gave a disgruntled look.
Scarlett: Now then, shall we move on to new business?
The scene shifts to the outside of the manor house during the evening as the episode comes to an end.
(Ending Theme: US Ending From "Gundam Wing")
Jay: I wonder why Estwynn really wanted us to go build our own GunPlas?
Mickey: Maybe he wants you to use what you built in the next round.
Jay: I guess we'll just have to wait and see what he has in store for...oh, no! Not that guy again!
Scott: Next time: "The Lightning Bass Player", where I finally get to cream those two little twigs.
Minanto Sakai: Hey, don't I get a spot in this preview?
(Author's Note #3: Oh, boy. What is White Fang planing, who is the mysterious benefactor, and more importantly, how will Jay and Mickey's GunPla battle skills get better by actually building GunPla? There it is folks, "TDBF" episode four is complete, we get to see who moves on to the tournament's second round and our first taste of White Fang's madness, all in one 7000+ word package. As you can tell from the episode itself, the episode five preview, and if you've read "What To Expect From Total Drama Build Fighters" before coming here, this story will also involve characters from not only "Total Drama", but also "Gundam Build Fighters", and other Fresh TV projects. Case in point, the lead characters from Fresh TV's "Grojband" were the team that beat Mike, Zoey and Dawn during the finals of the previous year's Under 19 Canadian GunPla battle national championship qualifiers. And you can also expect Minato Sakai from "Gundam Build Fighters Try" to make an appearance in the next episode. What will he be doing in Canada, read on and find out. I will be doing the Q&A session the weekend after I upload the fifth episode, so keep send in those reviews and questions, because if I can get at least 10 reviews/ questions this chapter, I will reveal the name of the benefactor for the White Fang during the Q&A. Until then, DSX62415, out.)
