Author's Note: This is a shorter one, I don't have much more to say beforehand. I'm not super into war movies, unless you count Tropic Thunder. I'm thinking on making an AU Sky/Victor fic based on Ladybug and Cat Noir. Curious as to your opinions though.
Disclaimer: I don't own Total Drama, the shuffled concept or the (most of) the characters.
And now, the reviews!
yeezynight14: Thanks! Interesting guess.
That British Guy: Yeah he is.
mattafat: Those are good comparisons. Thanks!
Piecesxoxo: It made the most sense for it to be Trent who had the change. I don't really know why, but Gwent makes for better hosts.
Derick Lindsay: That is an interesting guess. And a pretty good assessment on the current players.
Currernt Castmates:
Screaming Gaffers: DJ, Duncan, Leshawna, Sammy
Killer Grips: Heather, Kitsune, Sugar, Victor
But as we all know, Alejandro is about to steal someone's place.
Episode 13: Ocean's Eight... Or Nine
"Last time on Total Drama Action," Chris's voice said over clips of the Gaffer's paint bomb challenge, "we learned that war movies are brutal!" Shawn was shown giving a thumbs-up to his team before setting off the Grip's explosions.
"At first our contestants were flying high," the teens were shown flying out of the fake plane. "But tensions ran deep between Shawn and Sugar," the pageant queen was shown talking to the survivalist, "and Victor and Heather," the two were shown talking in the fox hole. "And Kitsune wasn't any help at all," Chris chuckled as the goofball's frog hallucination.
"And while the Gaffers technically won that battle," DJ and Duncan were shown carrying the trunk. "You have to wonder if they lost the war," Leshawna was shown talking to DJ as he served breakfast, "because their biggest conflict," Leshawna and Duncan were shown being flung across the film lot by Shawn, "is still with each other," Duncan was shown poking DJ in the chest.
"In the end, even though Kitsune was injured and useless," Clips of the goofball with her medical boot and giggling to herself were shown, "it was Shawn who was sent home by Sugar when he refused to turn on Heather," the survivalist's elimination was shown.
"Was it time for Shawn to go?" Chris asked as Shawn was shown trying to detonate his paint bombs. "Yeah!" He was shown falling from the sky after being caught in a paint explosion. "The guy couldn't go five minutes without going on about his zombie obsession!" Various clips of him mentioning zombies were shown.
The recap ended with a flash to Chris in a sleek, red, convertible. "You keep coming back for the explosive drama," he tapped the car twice, "I keep coming back for the perks. Car chase this week. And with only eight players left, the engine is on and the stereo is set to thump to the tune of the catchy opening theme song! It's time for some Total! Drama! Action!"
The camera pulled back each time he said a new word and then he revved the car's engine and sped off... into a tree. "Aw crap!"

[A stage light pops up in front of some fake buildings and turns on; a camera with a rat on top of it comes out of a manhole; another camera comes out of the hollow of a tree, along with some garbage and a very confused raccoon. A pair of hands claps a film slate in front of the camera, and the camera flies through the film lot; Chris drives a golf cart with Chef in the passenger side in the camera's path. The host grins and waves and the cook crosses his arms and scowls as the lyrics start]
Dear Mom and Dad I'm doing fine
[The camera passes through a tree and files down a road between the studio warehouses, dodging a farm backdrop and a sunset backdrop before flying through a costume rack]
You guys are on my mind
[The camera flies up the fake mountain and peeks over the edge to see a pool of water, then jumps in]
You asked me what I wanted to be
[As the camera lands in the pool, bubbles fill the screen and then disapate to show Sugar in her bikini with a large shark behind her. The pageant queen farts as the shark opens its mouth, then it chokes]
And I think the answer is plain to see
[The camera pans up to show Harold on a surfboard hooked up to some rigging. He tries to dodge seagulls that are shooting past him like bullets, only to take one to the face and be knocked in the water.]
I wanna be... famous
[The camera quick pans to the left, showing Duncan manning what can only be described as a seagull cannon with a sadistic grin on his face. The camera pans back to show Sky looking at the punk with contempt as he fires the rest of the gulls. The camera flies between them, then pauses in front of a large door as Sasquatchanawkwa runs across it in a pink dress and boa The door opens and the camera flies into a bright light.]
I wanna live close to the sun
[The light fades into a shot of the beach set where Leshawna sits on a pool chair. She is flanked with sharks in their own chairs The camera zooms in on Leshawna as she gives a huge smile.]
Well pack your bags 'cause I've already won
[The camera pans to the right and ending up on Noah in the confessional reading a book with a smug expression pn his face and his legs propped up on the table. He leans back and goes too far as he falls backwards.]
Everything to prove, nothing in my way
I'll get there one day
[The camera quick pans to the right again to show Heather and a bald and camo cap wearing Alejandro on rock pillars against a dark backdrop. The two have dueling sticks, Heather's is blue and Alejandro's is orange. Alejandro hits Heather a few times and she responds with a jab to his face, his cap falls off and the camera quick pans down to show the hat falling perfectly on DJ's head.]
'Cause I wanna be... famous
[The camera zooms out a bit to show DJ stirring a metal pot with a smile on his face. He pulls out a small orange bottle and sprinkles something in the pot, takes out a spoon and offers it to someone off-screen; the camera zooms out more to show he was offering it to Sammy, who giggles and kisses him on the cheek. The camera pans out to show Amy watching the scene on one of two monitors in another room with a look of disgust on her face. She angrily presses a button and is surprised when an explosion rocks the other screen.]
(Na nananana nanananana nananananana)
[The camera cuts to the explosion as it fades away revealing a slightly singed Shawn nervously looking around... only to scream and run away to the right past a zombie in familliar clothing. The zombie reveals itself to be Kitsune, who giggles to herself as he runs past. The camera follows him as he runs past the Lame-o-sine then stops at the vehicle.]
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous (Na nananana nanananana nananananana)
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous (Na nananana nanananana nananananana)
[The camera zooms in on the limousine's window, which rolls down to show a smiling Mike and Zoey. The window behind them rolls down to show Victor smiling at the couple. He opens the door with an formal bow. The camera flies past a series of flashes as if it were going down the red carpet and stops at Chris in a blue tux on the amphitheatre. The host grins and opens an evelope, then looks over at a scowling dress-wearing Chef as he holds a tray of Guilded Chris's. Chris purses his lips and gives a look to the camera. The camera zooms out to show the scene was being watched on a monitor, then pans down to Gwen and Trent, the latter strumming the last few notes of the theme on his guitar.
The camera zooms out to show the non competitors on the center couch of what looked to be the set of a talk show, flanked by two double tiered couches. On the top left: Noah, Sammy, DJ, and Tyler. On the bottom left: Zoey, Mike, Leshawna, Harold, Duncan, and Kitsune. On the top right: Staci, Malcolm, Victor, Sky, and Alejandro. And on the bottom right: Scarlett, Sugar, Shawn, Amy and Heather. The feed on the monitor fizzles out and changes to the Total Drama Action logo]

The episode began with a shot of the inside of the dining tent, before zooming in on the Gaffer table closer to the serving area. All four teens sat on one side of the table; Duncan on the far right carving something in the table with his knife, DJ next to that inspecting his bacon and eggs with a frown, Sammy next to him looking at the two boys and then Leshawna with a worried expression, and Leshawna glaring at all three of them.
"What?" Duncan asked after feeling the girls' looks
"Vandal," DJ spat at Duncan.
"Mama's boy," Duncan spat back.
"Liar," both boys said in Leshawna's direction.
"Guys," Sammy pleaded. "Can we please get along? Otherwise, the Grips are gonna like destroy us!"
XXX
"At this point, I almost wish I was eliminated earlier," Sammy complained. "Leshawna and Duncan can't stand each other, and make sure that everyone knows it. DJ won't say it, but he's getting seriously annoyed by them." She sighed. "It's like last season's Final Six all over again."
XXX
"Hey, I'm not the one who lied to her team," Duncan said.
"Especially considering we would've just given her the reward anyway," DJ added. "We'll let up when she apologizes."
"I've got nothin' to apologize for!" Leshawna retorted. "It's called playing the game."
"And we'll lose it if we can't get along," Sammy pointed out.
"You do what you want," Leshawna spat as she stood up. "I'm going back to the trailer.
"Don't let the door hit you in the butt on your way out!" Duncan called as she walked away.
"That doesn't even make sense," DJ said.
"It's a figure of speech," the punk replied as she passed the Grip table.
"Can we not argue for five minutes?" Sammy asked in exasperation.
"Stuff it," Duncan told her.
"Hey!" DJ cried. "Don't talk to her like that!"
The camera cut to the outside of the tent as the Gaffer's argument could be heard in the background. "Those two are gonna pay," Leshawna muttered under her breath. "Leshawna's revenge is-" A pair of white hands threw a black bag over her head and dragged her off.
The camera cut to the Grip table as they ate breakfast. Victor and Kitsune sat on one side and Heather and Sugar sat on the other. "I'm sorry fer votin' off Shawn," Sugar said to Heather. "It really was an accident."
"Just make sure it doesn't happen again," Heather threatened.
"Can you really be sure it was an accident?" Kitsune asked, earning a suspicious glance from Heather and an angry glare from Sugar. "But then again, I was under the effect of pain meds. Speaking of.." she trailed off as she stood up. "I need to get some more from Chef."
"A weaker dose I hope," Victor said with a hint of amusement.
Kitsune blushed. "Y-yes." She walked into the kitchen, and was confused by the emptiness of it. "Chef?" She asked. "Where is that guy?" She asked as she scratched her head. A pair of white hands covered her head with a black bag. "What the heck?!" She was drug off screen.
\
The camera cut back to the inside of the dining area, the roof specifically where a knife cut a small square and a rope fell through the hole. Chris slid down the rope with a smile on his face.
"Impressive entrance," Victor commented.
"Consider it a hint to this week's movie genre!" Chris replied giving a finger pistol to the Grip captain.
"Generic Action Movie: Starring Middle Aged Actor Past His Prime?" Duncan deadpanned.
"No," the host said with a hint of annoyance. "We're paying tribute to the action packed Bank Heist Ganster Caper Film!"
"Chris, we are waiting for Kitsune to return," Victor said.
"We're missing a player too," Duncan said. "But we don't care."
"Kitsune and Leshawna are gone people," the host announced. "Because rescuing them is the first part of the challenge!"
Victor gasped, then Sammy, then DJ, then Sammy again, then Duncan yawned.
"Pardon me," he said without remorse.
"They've both been locked up in state-of-the-art safes," Chris explained. "Along with all the tools each team will need to commit a movie perfect bank robbery," he rubbed his hands together. "Your job, is to crack the safes, rescue your teammates, grab your tools, and try to be the first to rob The First National Bank of Chris!"
The camera zoomed out to show the whole tent as Chris tugged on the rope. "Let's kick it Gansgtas!" He was pulled back out of the hole he cut earlier.
\
The camera flashed to a movie set that looked like two bank vaults in a brick wall. As the camera zoomed in on the right vault, Kitsune could be heard hissing in pain.
The shot cut to the inside of the vault. "Okay, so the pill thing was clearly a ploy to get me alone so I could be kidnapped," she said to herself. She was in a room that was lined with safety deposit boxes and had a vent near the vault door.
"But at least I can focus on how to deal with Heather and Sugar. It's almost like being with Alejandro again." She chuckled to herself. "Man am I glad I don't have to deal with that guy again."
\
"Dank as this bank tank is," Leshawna said as the camera flashed to her in a similar room to Kitsune, "it's still better than being with my so-called team mates. Seriously, I've been gettin' some major 'tude for actually playing the game. Nevermind they did the same thing by kicking off Harold."
\
The scene flashed to show Sammy fiddling with the dial for the Gaffers' vault.
"How's it going?" DJ asked.
"I don't really know what I'm doing," she admitted sheepishly. "Do you wanna give it a try?"
"Might as well," he said with a shrug.
XXX
"The love birds DJ and Sammy were so busy flirting that they didn't even think to consult a real criminal," Duncan confessed. "Honestly, it was a little insulting."
XXX
Sammy stood up and gestured to the vault. DJ kneeled down next to it and started trying to crack the safe. The camera panned over to the Grips' vault. "Any bright ideas Victor?" Heather asked.
"I am afraid not," the gentleman replied.
"But yer rich!" Sugar cried. "You ain't never had to be in a bank before?"
"Never to steal anything," he replied.
\
"It's no use," DJ told his team. "I don't know what I'm doin' either."
"Duncan," Sammy said, "I know your said you weren't good with locks but-"
"I'll give it a try," the punk said noncommittally.
\
"Hold a moment," Victor said as the shot cut to him trying to open the safe. "This is Chris we are referring to. Therefore the combination must involve him somehow."
"Let's try his birthday," Heather said as she quickly dialed a combo. She tried to open the vault, to no avail. "What else can we use?"
\
"Did you guys hear that?" Sammy whispered to her team mates.
"Deej," Duncan said. "You care enough about people to listen when they talk. Try some Chris numbers."
The brickhouse cracked his knuckles and kneeled down to try and crack the safe.
\
Back at the Grips, Heather was stabbing the dial with a bobby pin. "Explain to me how this is a productive plan?" Victor asked in frustration.
"It worked on my sister's diary!" Heather retorted.
"That's pathetic!" Sugar cried.
"You're pathetic-er!" Heather shot back.
Victor pinched his nose and groaned.
"Do you guys need some help out there?" Kitsune's voice was heard from the vent. The other Grips' eyes widened.
"Kitsune?" Victor asked slowly. "Are you able to hear us?"
"Yeah," the goofball replied. "Bobby pins? Really?"
"Shut up!" Heather yelled. "Wait. How can you hear us through a fake vent?"
"I don't think it's fake," she replied. "Give me a minute."
XXX
"Three hours," Kitsune groaned in the confessional, "Three hours I was stuck in there and didn't think to check to see if the stupid vent was real!"
XXX
The camera cut to the inside of a vault, with Kitsune crouched next to the vent and using an end of her headband to open it. "Just... about...got it!" She cheered as she finished it.
The camera cut outside to show her crawling out of the vent to rejoin her team mates. "The bag with the tools was too big to fit," she explained.
"Well the challenge was to get to the bank first," Victor told her. "So it does not matter overmuch." The Grips all ran off screen. Kitsune limped behind them.
"Guys!" She called after them. "Wait up!"
The camera panned over to the Grips as the Gaffers watched the other team leave. "Great," Duncan complained. "Now they're in the lead. Can anyone explain to me why we're wasting all this time trying to free Leshawna? I don't need a bunch of props to rob a bank."
"Fair point," DJ agreed. "The Grips don't even have their bag either."
"But she's our team mate," Sammy argued. "We can't just leave her in there." DJ and Duncan just ran off. The cheerleader gave a helpless glance to the vault, and then chased after her team.
\
The camera flashed to show the trailers. "We just use the crap left by the guys that were kicked off," Duncan explained via voice over as the camera cut to the inside of the guys' trailer.
The punk grabbed three socks and cut holes into them. "Cut some holes in to Harold's sock and we got masks."
He then started gluing pieces of paper together. "The letters from Noah's gossip rags will make the stick-up note."
Lastly, he taped together an aerosol can and deodorant. "And voila," he said, this time on screen.
"I gotta admit, you got some skills," DJ told him.
\
The camera flashed to Leshawna back in the vault listening close to the door. "I'm sure they'll be here any minute," she said as she walked over to the bench. "I think I'll take advantage of all this peace and quiet." She stretched and laid down to take a nap... only to open them in a panic and ask, "Where are they?"
\
The camera cut to the three non trapped Gaffers walking next to a brick building by their feet. First was Duncan's red sneakers, then DJ's sandals, and last was Sammy's white heeled boots. Duncan's waist was then shown as he pulled his fake gun out of his pants. The camera then panned up to show his face in the makeshift mask before showing DJ cracking his knuckles and Sammy perfectly imitating her sister's glare.
The punk walked up to a bank teller's wicket. "Yoohoo!" He yelled. "This is a robbery!" The camera pulled out to show the rest of the bank set.
"Welcome Gaffers!" Chris popped up and yelled, startling Sammy into hiding behind DJ. "You've beaten the Grips to the scene," the punk rolled his eyes at his teammate's skittishness, "so you'll get first crack at our teller."
"Not that I'm complainin' about winnin'," DJ said, "but didn't they leave before we did?"
\
The camera flashed to the inside of a tent. There were what looked to be hospital beds and Victor and Kitsune were looking through a medicine cabinet in the background.
"Do any on these look familiar?" Victor asked the goofball.
She looked through the cabinet for a moment before picking up a pill bottle. "This one." She grabbed a pill and swallowed it.
"Are we done with our little detour now?" Heather asked. "Because I'm pretty sure we lost our lead."
"I'm good," the fox lover replied. "Let's go!"
\
The camera cut to the boots of a familiar contestant before panning up to his dark pants, red shirt, and eventually, bald head and fedora.
"Great day isn't it sir?" Duncan asked as the camera pulled back. "But it'd be even better if you filled this bag full of cash." He tossed the bag onto the wicket.
"And explain to me why I should," the teller said before turning around and revealing himself to be none other than... Alejandro.
"AAAHHHHHH!" The Gaffers screamed in surprise against a yellow and orange starburst background.
"Looks like the Gaffers bit off a little more than they could chew with that robbery," Chris said as he popped up in front of the camera. "They can run, or in this case scream like little babies, but they can't hide, because Total Drama Action will be right back.
\
(Commercial Break)
\
The episode returned to a shot of a studio before flashing back to the inside of the bank set. The Grips had arrived by this point, with all the girls glaring at Alejandro and Victor just staring in shock. The camera panned to the wicket, where the Gaffers still had their shocked expressions. Alejandro stood behind it with a smug expression and Chris stood in front of it and read from a sheet of paper.
"Teams," he read, "it is my duty to inform you that Alejandro will be joining us for the duration of the game." The camera focused on the look of pure hate Kitsune had on her face, "and we are all exceedingly happy about it."
"He was booted out fair and square!" Heather complained.
"Well, the office of Gabriel Burromuerto and a panel of three esteemed judges would disagree. It seems that Chris's unclear explination of the rules worked in my favor."
"Wait," Kitsune said with a barely contained giggle. "Your last name is "Dead Donkey?"
"So Al," Chris said making the new cast member shudder, "since you were the bank teller in the last challenge, you get to decide who wins first prize: you bag of loot." He tossed a small bag to the teen, which clinked when he caught it.
"The Gaffers were the first team here," the charmer explained, "so naturally they win." Alejandro tossed the bag to Duncan, who didn't try to catch it.
"I still can't believe this," Sammy whispered to her boyfriend.
"Hey he didn't get you booted last year," Duncan complained.
"And that means the Grips get second prize!" Chris announced.
"What would that be?" Victor asked.
"You guys get... Alejandro!" The team groaned in disappointment. "For the rest of the game! Or until he's voted off."
XXX
"Chris can be so petty at times," Alejandro confessed with a dark smile. "It doesn't matter what team I'm placed on, I'll still win the game."
XXX
"So, Grips, Gaffers," Chris addressed the teams, "you getaway cars are waiting! Better get a move on before the cops arrive."
DJ, Sammy, and Duncan just gave the host unimpressed looks.
"That means GO!" The host yelled with less amusement. The Grips, being closer to the door, left first, with the Gaffer not far behind.
\
The camera cut to outside the set as the teens ran out and down the road.
"The getaway car's gonna be awesome!" Kitsune cheered. "That's the rule of these movies."
"Do you think we'll get a Mercedes?" Sammy asked with excitement.
"I'm partial to Jaguars," Alejandro commented.
"Shut up Donkey Boy," Kitsune said, causing her old rival to glare at her.
\
The camera flashed to show the fake hill, before flashing to the top of it and two piles of car parts color coded to the teams.
"What the heck is all this?" Sugar asked.
A horn sounding like the opening theme sounded and Chris drove on scene in his red sports car, gaining the attention of the teams.
"This," he explained, "is your challenge. Assemble the getaway cars and drive to freedom!"
"That is so not hot," Heather complained.
"If the cars were ready to go, then it wouldn't be much of a challenge," Chris retorted. The cast groaned in disappointment and the host drove off in a cloud of exhaust... only to crash off screen with a wheel bouncing back in front of the cast. "Aww crap!"
\
The camera cut back to Leshawna. "Did they leave me here on purpose just because of one teeny little mistake?" She stood up. "Okay, fine. Maybe it was a big mistake because here I am bein' left to rot until I'm nothin' but a lifeless pile bodacious beauty. What do these people want from me?!"
"Okay, so lyin' to win a reward is evil! I admit it! My bad! I did a lousy thing! Now how about a little forgivness? Guys?! What do ya say?"
\
The camera cut to a mostly assembled but wheel-less green go-kart that Duncan was putting wheels on. "So we have to drive go-karts?" Sammy asked.
"Looks like it," DJ answered.
"Can one of you guys hand me the lug nuts?" Duncan asked as he continued his task.
"You're pretty good at this," Sammy commented.
"Well we can't all use explosives to help us win races," Duncan said with a teasing tone.
"Duncan," Sammy asked slyly, "did you just tell a joke that didn't insult someone? You really are a nice guy."
"No I'm not, and anyone who says otherwise is gonna pay!" He stood up and threatened before going back to what he was doing.
The camera panned over to the Gaffers, who also had mostly finished their go-kart that Alejandro was under for some reason. "Wow," Kitsune said as she walked on screen. "This looks nice. I'm impressed Ale-bald-bro."
The charmer crawled out from under the vehicle. "Is this really the time to insult me?" He asked.
"You're here, I'm here, so... yeah." Kitsune replied.
Alejandro just sighed and went back to work.
"Has anyone seen Heather and Sugar?" Victor asked as he walked over to the two.
\
The camera flashed to the two aforementioned girls. "So you understand the plan for tonight right?" Heather asked.
"You can count on me!" The pageant queen said jovially.
"Good," the queen bee said simply before walking off.
"For now," Sugar muttered under her breath after her ally left.
\
The camera flashed several times, showing close-ups of the Gaffers' go-kart were shown in quick succession. First, the left front wheel, a seat, the right front wheel, a flag on the bag bearing their team symbol, and the steering wheel as Duncan tightened one final nut in it and hopped into the driver's seat.
"hop in," he ordered with a smile as he revved the engine. Sammy got in first and DJ got in after that leaving the cheerleader in between the two boys. With one last rev, Duncan drove off. "Hey Foxy!" He called to his girlfriend. "Looks like we're gonna win two in a row! Try no to get booted tonight!" He sped off toward the finish line leaving a shocked Kitsune in his wake.
"Finished!" Alejandro announced before hopping in the driver's seat of the Grips' kart. Kitune got the middle front seat with Victor claiming the shotgun seat. Heather and Sugar hopped into the back and Alejandro drove off.
\
The camera flashed to the Gaffers as they drove to the finish line. the camera cut ahead to show a costume rack in the middle of the road. Unable to swerve, the Gaffers could only scream as they crashed into it. They managed not to take themselves out of the race, but the rack didn't survive. The camera cut back to the Gaffers to show that they had been in new clothes. Duncan was wearing a baby bonnet, Sammy had a veil, and DJ was wearing a top hat and bow tie.
Duncan took one look at his teammates, then burst into hysterical laughter. The couple looked at each other... then turned away with furious blushes.
XXX
Duncan said nothing, he just laughed the entirety of his confessional.
XXX
The camera cut back to the Gaffers at the base of the fake hill, they screamed while and, the viewpoint shifted to show them rapidly approaching a wide truck carrying a load of logs – until the camera moved back to the side, revealing it as nothing more than a backdrop set-up in the middle of the road. The Gaffers crashed through it, and continued on.
They screamed again as they approached what seemed to be the abrupt end of a broken dock that had been cordoned off, but it too was merely a backdrop that was soon crashed through.
This pattern repeated itself two more times, with them crashing through a fake police barricade, and destroying a backdrop painted to look like Saturn and a handful of its moons. Then they came across a creepy old white man standing in the middle of a curve in the road, dressed in a yellow rain coat and holding a hook in his left hand. He, however, turned out not to be a prop – the Gaffers ran into him, sending him flying up into the air.
The Grips finally appeared on screen, as the man bounced off their hood with a grunt. "Faster!" Kitsune yelled. As they sped away, the camera caught the old man standing back up and waving his hook at them angrily.
\
The camera cut to a finish line. Chef stood with a checkered flag and Chris watched the challenge in binoculars. "The Gaffers seem to be on the verge of another victory," Chris announced. "But the Grips are catchin' up fast!"
The Gaffer's kart sputtered. "What's goin' on?" DJ asked in a panic.
"I think we're outta gas," Duncan replied as the kart came to a halt just before the finish.
"Never mind folks," Chris amended, "Looks like the Grips are gonna take this one!"
"It sounds like you're floodin' it," DJ said.
"I'm not flooding it!" Duncan shot back.
"Oh emm gee!" Sammy cried as she pointed behind them. "We're running out of time!" The boys looked to where she was pointing, and gasped when they saw the approaching Grips. They all got out and started to push the kart across the line.
Suddenly, the wheels from the Grip kart flew off. The team was stopped in their tracks. "Quickly!" Victor ordered. "Pick up the kart before we lose!" They each grabbed the chassis and picked it up so they could slowly walk across the finish line, but the Gaffers having wheels meant they could catch up and pass them.
The Gaffers pushed across the finish line and Chef waved the flag. "And we have a winner!" Chris announced.
"First off, I wanna thank both teams for going green," Chris announced. "But this time, the Gaffers are the winners!" Duncan cheered while DJ and Sammy shared a celebratory kiss. "That means I'll be seeing the Grips at tonight's Guilded Chris ceremony," the losing team all sulked at the announcement. "And Gaffers, even though you committed the anything-but-perfect crime," he addressed the winners again, the money sack shown in Sammy's hands, "you get to enjoy victory, and your bag of loot."
\
"We're rich!" Duncan cheered as he poured the bag's contents, stacks of cash, onto a table in one of the trailers. "Look at all this-"
"Non negotiable Chris Cash," DJ read from the back of a bill. "Accepted only in the Total Drama Action craft services tent towards the purchase of water from the tap?"
"I really hate that smile," Sammy said as the camera focused on the host's smiling face in thecenter of the bill.
\
The camera faded to Chris at the elimination ceremony podium. "The time has come," Chris said to the five Grips.
The shot cut to Leshawna. "Tell me that is not the Guilded Chris Theme! This isn't funny anymore y'all! This is downright cruel!"
\
"Like always Killer Grips," Chris said next to a smaller podium of four statues, "one member of your team will not be receiving a coveted Guilded Chris made of the finest Belgian Chocolate. But not like always, and this is important to remember, the lawyers say no one is allowed to vote for Alejandro this week."
The camera cut to a glaring Kitsune. "You guys got that? This show can't afford anymore lawsuits. My massage budget has already been cut in half." The five Grips voted. Chef descended from off-screen on a rope harness, handed Chris an envelope, and ascended just as quickly.
"Why do I have two hits against Alejandro when I specifically said you couldn't?!" Chris asked as he read the paper.
"I was unable to help myself," Victor admitted with his head hung in shame.
"He's my mortal enemy!" Kitsune defended. "I had to vote for him!"
"Well not count your votes," Chris announced, "the Guilded Chris goes to Alejandro."
"Heather."
"And Sugar."
Victor and Kitsune looked at each other and gulped. "Yeah, bet you regret those votes now," the host teased.
"The final Guilded Chris goes to..." The camera focused on their nervous faces.
"Kitsune."
"You kept the annoying and injured fox child?" Alejandro asked in shock.
"I have my reasons," Heather said cryptically.
XXX
"I know Alejandro's style," Heather confessed. "Using his silver tongue to get people where he wants them. But since Kitsune can't stand to be around him, that keeps me in control of the team. It's a shame Victor had to be sent home," she said dismissively. "But it is an elimination game after all."
XXX
The camera cut back to Victor as he got up to take the Walk of Shame. "It appears my time has come," he said. He turned to his former team and said, "It was an honor to be your captain," with an elegant bow. Kitsune, with tears in her eyes, ran up to him and gave him a crushing hug.
"You will win this," he told her. "I assure you." With that, the gentleman walked off to be driven away in the Lame-osine.
"And that wraps up another totally dramatic episode!" Chris announced from his podium with Chef standing next to him. "With absolutely no loose ends to tie up. Right Chef?"
The cook tapped a finger to his chin.
The camera cut to the outside of the vault that Leshawna was still in. "Guys! You can let me out now! What do ya say?!"
"Seems right to me," the cook said as the camera cut back to him, and the host and chef walked away.

"That was a disaster," The Gentleman said dejectedly as he stared out the window. "I had no designs on winning the competition, but I imagined that I would at least make the merge."
He gave the camera a sad smile. "There is of course the matter of my relationship with Sky. I know I will have to see her at some point, but the thought does not fill me with the joy that it used to."
"However the worst part of this was I know had Alejandro not forced his way into the game, I would still be there. That is why I feel so strongly that Kitsune must win. For she will most likely be targeted by the villains that make up the rest of the team."
"Yes, I did know about Heather and Kitsune's hidden machinations."
Author's Note Post Script: I'm fairly certain that none of you saw that coming, so I'll give you a moment to pick your jaw up. All good? Now for my explaining. There were a lot of people expecting Alejandro to go after Heather or Sammy. I'll admit I almost went with the former, but I figured that he would naturally give the first win to the team that got there first, which had to be the Gaffers for reasons I don't want to get into. It also would make more sense that he try and eliminate his oldest rival, Kitsune. Heather and Sugar for their own reasons, decide it's best to weaken him by keeping him with his mortal enemy. I apologize to the Victor fans, but he really was the only one who it could be.
Kitsune's foot is still broken, but I needed her injured still for several things in this episode. I also do not recommend or condone taking random pain pills no matter how badly you hurt. Make sure you know what you're taking guys.
On an upside, I've finally figured out a plot line for Sammy. She's trying to keep the Gaffers from completely falling apart, how well it works remains to be seen.
We're looking at some very interesting dynamics this quarter
With that I'm signing off
