"Last time on Total Drama Kingdom, 8 of our bravest contestants set off through some of the dangerous parts of Malchoir Forest to save Princess Brianna and Princess Nora! Colin saved his crush from some of the most menacing orcs in a brief, but awesome battle, which some of his teammates didn't quite like! Lyell also showed his side of brilliance by coming up with a great strategy for his team that would aid them in the challenge. Jordan showed Brighton that he may not be as tough as he looks. Or IS he? Hahaha. And it also showed when Nora jumped off the tower to show her wild side. And knocked poor Brighton out in the process! Once more, the Valiant Knights triumphed and it was Nora that was flung to the great unknown. Macy and Michael also grew closer from helping each other out after suffering from Soonchan's pranks. Now that we're nearing the middle of the season, things are starting to get more interesting. So stay tuned for more suspense in this exciting episode of Total...Drama...Kingdom!"

Colin did not feel like doing his morning routine of writing equations on the cell walls. All he did was write a few more chords on his sheet music but then stopped. He sighed, lied down on his cell bench, and whistled "Stairway to Heaven" as he strummed on his harp, solemnly.

"HEY! KEEP IT DOWN OVER THERE!" Jordan yelled from across the hallway. Colin urgently stopped and twiddled his thumbs nervously. He then slumped on his bench and stared at the ceiling.

*static*

*in confessional* Colin: Well, I'm back at this dump once again. I'm just not in the mood to do anything right now. I hope we win the next challenge, but those Knights are on a winning streak. As devilish as my team is, I don't think we stand a chance against those Knights!

*static*

*back to Creepy Chriskaban Dungeon*

"I think I'll go outside for a while..." Colin thought as he packed up his harp, his music, and his pen. He then opened his cell door and when Soonchan wasn't looking, he sneaked through the exit. Deja, who was in the cell right next to the exit, saw Colin and glared at him.

*static*

*in confessional* Deja: Well, our team is suffering a big time losing streak. And it's all because our teammates have nothing better to do than to screw around. And I'm starting to think that Colin is trying to sabotage the challenge for us. I mean, I know he has a thing for that nice girl on the other team. But that is no excuse to help the other team! From here on out, things are going to be MUCH different around here. It's time to play this game more seriously and push down the ones that are dangling off the cliff. Right now, Colin is easy shark bait. Next time we lose, he's going to be sleeping with the other fishes inside the shark's mouth!

"Yo Jordan! We need to talk!" Deja shouted from the cell.

"And why would I want to do that?" Jordan asked as she reached into her backpack to try and find a packet of Hot Cheetos. "Aww crap! I'm out of Hot Cheetos! Where'd they all go?!" she complained.

"Here lady. Have some of this steamed bacon casserole!" Soonchan said as he entered the dungeon and passed Jordan and Deja their breakfast.

"Ehh, what the heck?" Jordan shrugged as she took it and ate a spoonful. "Hmm...it ain't as good as my mom's homemade casserole, but it's decent, I guess..." she said.

"Will you snap out of it and pay attention?! This is serious!" Deja urgently said.

"Alright. What is it? Not that I care or anything..." Jordan responded.

"We are suffering a major losing streak and we have to get it together!" Deja said. "Now, I'm very reluctant to do this, but we should start an alliance. We can both knock out the weakest competitors down, one by one, and go face to face with the bigger threats and make it to the final two together!"

"I'm not really the alliance type, but if it's for the money, then sure" Jordan said, seeming neutral about the alliance.

*static*

*in confessional* Deja: Of course, when the time is right, I'll break off the alliance and get her eliminated. Not trying to be mean. I'm just trying to play the game.

*static*

*back to Creepy Chriskaban Dungeon*

Deja then said, "Hey Brighton! Wake up! You should listen to this too!"

"Nobody tells me what to do, toots! I'm my own man!" Brighton said as he dozed off.

"Anyways, I have a strong feeling that Colin is betraying us and intentionally throwing off challenges..." Deja said.

"What makes you say that?" Jordan asked out of curiosity.

"I have a strong feeling that he's crushing on Olivia. So, he's probably pulling a 'Trent' and throwing challenges just so her team can win!" Deja continued. "Plus, I think he's a good elimination target. So, next time we lose, it's 'bye, bye' Colin!"

"That's a pretty good strategy. I can live with that. As long as I'M not eliminated, then I'm cool" Jordan said.

Deja responded, "You're not going to get eliminated. As long as we maintain our strategies and work together to implement them, we're golden" Jordan nodded and they both shook hands in their agreement to start an alliance.

*static*

*in confessional* Deja: Man, I'm good! If I knock out all of those weaklings, then I can dump Jordan, make it to the finals, and win the million! I can see myself already swimming in all the loot that I'm about to win! Watch out losers, because this game is so on!

*cut to McClean Spa Manor*

"Another toast to another victory! Way to go, Knights! Here's to many more victories in the future!" Brianna announced as they all held up their glasses and said their cheers.

"Brianna, you're probably one of the greatest leaders I've ever known! If you ever ran for United States president, you would have my vote!" Daniel proudly said.

"Haha, thanks Daniel!" Brianna replied as she ate her breakfast.

The Valiant Knights were all eating their breakfast, chatting away, and having a good time. All of them except for Olivia. All she did was poke at her breakfast with her fork, put her head on top of her hand, and moped. Lyell was talking to Daniel and Brant when he saw Olivia. He could tell that something was wrong.

*static*

*in confessional* Lyell: I wonder what's up with Olivia. She looks so down, even after another sweet victory! I'm used to seeing her as the sweet and bubbly girl, but now, she doesn't look all sweet and bubbly. I gotta see what's up.

*static*

*back to McClean Spa Manor*

Olivia was still poking at her breakfast and did not see Lyell sit down next to her. "Hey girl, you okay?" Lyell asked.

"Yeah...I guess so" Olivia replied, sighing.

"What's up? You look kinda down this morning..." Lyell continued.

Olivia continued to mope and then said, "I don't really want to talk about it."

"Hey Olivia. Listen, you can tell this dude anything. I'm always there to listen to anything you have to say, no matter how good or how bad it is. Now tell me what's going on" Lyell said.

"Okay, I'll tell you. Ever since Colin left to join the Devilish Demons, for some reason, I've been really missing him. It was really sweet of him to stick out for me in the previous challenges, but I feel bad that he's letting his own team down by doing that. I really like what he's doing, but on the other hand, I don't want him to get eliminated..." Olivia told Lyell.

"Ugh! I can't help it! I miss him so much!" she exclaimed. A few tears rolled down her eyes as she said those words. She took out her handkerchief from her pocket and blew her nose and wiped her tears.

"I really miss him Lyell...from the conversations we have to hanging out at every chance we get, whether it's at the spa or at the dungeon. I just really miss him. And don't tell him this...but I think I like him more than just a friend. And my liking for him is really starting to grow..." Olivia calmly said.

Lyell put his arm on Olivia's shoulder and then said, "Hey, it's okay to have a crush. That's exactly how my girlfriend felt before we started going out. And to be honest, I felt the same way too. But in the end, we knew that we could not hide it from each other forever. And so, that's when I asked her out. And you know what? It felt good to just let it out. And the best part is that we're still going strong."

"Let me tell you, Olivia. I think Colin feels the same way about you too. Do you remember some of those times when he stuck out for you when you were in trouble, even when you both were on different teams? I have also seen him alone several times and he didn't seem too happy about it. I think once you get the chance, you should tell him how you feel!" Lyell continued.

Olivia smiled slightly and then said, "Thanks Lyell. I'm glad we had this little talk!"

*static*

*in confessional* Olivia: Lyell really knows what's up! And he's totally right! I have to tell Colin. Hmm...but should I wait for him to tell his feelings for me...or is it the other way around? Hmm...crushes are so complicated...

*static*

*cut to the outside of the Creepy Chriskaban Dungeon*

Colin seemed to have a tired and unhappy expression on his face as he strummed his harp and had his head down, staring at the green grass around him.

"Hey bro, you doin' alright?" a nearby voice asked him. Colin nearly jumped out of his skin, but calmed down to see that it was only Lyell sitting next to him.

"Ehh, not so great, to be honest..." Colin replied, sighing.

"What's going on?" Lyell asked.

"Well, you know, writer's block! I can't think of how to continue this song I'm working on!" Colin said, slightly panicking.

"Hmm...that doesn't sound true. You can be open with me. Level with me and tell me what's really going on" Lyell asked, staring right into Colin's eyes.

"Okay, okay. The truth is, I just finished writing this one song for this one girl..." Colin started.

"And who might this girl be?" Lyell asked.

"You have to promise not to tell anyone this! But it's for...Olivia!" Colin answered nervously.

"Nice, man! So, do you like her?" Lyell asked, smirking.

"YES. A LOT. I just don't know how to tell her though. So, I thought that I could sort out my feelings for her through music, but I'm too afraid to show it to her. I've been rejected several times in the past. I don't want to go through the same thing again..." Colin sadly said.

"Oh, I wouldn't be so sure this time. I think she will love it. Olivia's one of the nicest girls in the world. And I think she really likes you too" Lyell said, winking.

"She does? How - how do you know?" Colin asked, feeling confused.

"Oh, you'll see once you show her that song. Be a man! Be the beautiful music in her ears!" Lyell encouraged. He then walked back to the spa.

*static*

*in confessional* Colin: I guess Lyell does have a point. If I like her that much, then I just have to be straight up with her. But she's Olivia. She'll understand and she would love to go out with a guy like me...right? *looks around nervously*

*static*

*in confessional* Lyell: I'm glad I got to stick up for those two. They need to understand that sometimes, having crushes can be very confusing, but by being straight-up and showing their feelings, they won't have as much to hide. Life will all be good and they won't have to be downers anymore.

*cut to shores of Malchoir*

"Alright guys! Turn that sucker around and put that thing right on top of it! Chris and those other suckers are going to be in for a WET surprise today. When I say wet, I mean REALLY REALLY wet!" Blaineley shouted out to her bodyguards as they lifted a giant water balloon and put it right on the Fling of Shame. Fortunately, the water balloon could fit right into the Fling and the Fling was strong enough to support its weight.

"Chris is going to get what's coming for him today...just have to wait for the right time...the right time and SPLOSH! I'll get 'em!" Blaineley snickered to herself.

"ATTENTION, CONTESTANTS! MEET ME AT THE COURTYARDS FOR YET ANOTHER TORTUROUS CHALLENGE!" Chris yelled through the megaphone from a distance. Blaineley covered her ears irritatingly and sat on a nearby rock, impatiently waiting for Chris, Chef, and the interns to arrive. In the meantime, she took out her PDA and fidgeted with it for a while.

*cut to courtyards*

"Good morning contestants! Hope you guys are ready for the most torturous challenge by far!" Chris announced to the contestants. He had a shaved mustache and beard, he was wearing a headpiece with short hair, and he was in a black and gray robe.

"What are you supposed to be dressed up as?" Daniel asked, considering his costume as weird.

"That would be General Zod, my friend! Me and Chef have a few errands to do right now with some help from our interns! And that would involve me impersonating General Zod! But today's challenge will be a treasure hunt challenge!" Chris continued.

*static*

*in confessional* Brant: Hmm...a treasure hunt challenge being a torturous challenge? Sounds harmless enough.

*static*

*back to courtyards*

"Each of your teams have two separate maps. And don't worry! Soonchan's not going to be anywhere near those maps this time!" Chris announced, handing out the maps to all the teammates. "I will also be handing you guys compasses to aid you on your journey. You get two per team, so you will elect your two leaders for your team!" he continued as he handed out the compasses.

"Not to worry guys! I can help you guys out!" Brianna said proudly as she took the map and compass. "And Lyell has some brilliant strategies as well. So, he can take the honors and be the second leader!"

"It would be my pleasure!" Lyell responded, grinning at Brianna and then taking the other map and compass.

"Say, Colin...why don't you be one of the team leaders?" Deja asked, slyly.

"Umm...okay" Colin shrugged as he took the map and compass.

"And I'll be the other leader!" Deja proudly proclaimed as he took the other map and compass.

"Hey! I'm a big team player! I should be the team leader!" Brighton shouted as he grabbed the map and compass from Deja.

"Nuh-uh! Deja's a better leader than you, idiot boy!" Jordan snapped as she pushed Brighton to the ground and handed Deja the materials.

"Thanks Jordan. And remember the plan!" Deja whispered in Jordan's ear. Jordan nodded and they all waited for Chris to announce the rest of the challenge.

"This 'treasure hunt' may seem like an easy challenge for you guys. But don't be fooled! There are going to be several dangerous surprises along the way and our sensors detect that there are some hidden surprises in some of the more dangerous parts of Malchoir Island! Your main goal is to get past all of the obstacles that lay in your path and find a special item that is indicated by your team's symbol. You will then have to bring the item back to the courtyards and be the first team to get there in order to win the challenge! This item will be very useful in your next challenge! This is going to be one wild adventure for all of you!" said Chris.

"Did somebody say 'adventure'?!" a voice from a distance exclaimed loudly. A tall, thin silhouette could be seen above a tree. It then jumped off quickly, threw a rope around the branch of another nearby tree, and landed safely on the ground. This person had a dark brown mullet, a turquoise blue shirt, blue pants, and a light brown fedora.

"Oh my gosh! It's Mike!" Olivia said excitedly. "You're my favorite from the Revenge of the Island cast!"

"G'day, Sheila! And the name's Smith. Manitoba Smith!" Manitoba proudly proclaimed.

"And you're my favorite of all of Mike's personalities!" Olivia squealed. "EEEEE!"

Chris then covered her mouth and said, "Yeah...we don't have time for any of that! You guys have a lot of work to do! Anyways, Manitoba has volunteered to guide you all whenever you are stumped and need assistance."

"Yeah, mates! Just yell out my name and no matter how long the distance is, I can hear you and I'll be there!" said Manitoba.

"Anyways, me and Chef will be right back. We'll be at the shores of Malchoir getting a few errands done along with the other interns. Let the hunt begin!" Chris announced as he and Chef left.

*cut to shores of Malchoir*

Blaineley sits on a rock, tapping her food on the ground impatiently and waiting for Chris to arrive. Finally, she spies five figures approaching the shores.

"Ohhh boy! Now's my chance!" she said to herself as she headed to the controllers for the Fling of Shame.

"Ready...aim...FIRE!" she yelled out as she pushed the "FLING!" button that sent the giant water balloon flying straight towards Chris and the gang. And they sure were in for a wet surprise. Chris, Chef, Soonchan, Macy, and Michael were all covered in lake water along with some wet sand, sea weed, wet sticks, and dirt. Everyone moaned in agony, except for Soonchan, who stared in awe at his crush.

"MY BEAUTIFUL HAIR!" Chris cried.

"Why is it that I'm always treated like dirt around here?!" Chef complained.

"I'm so sick of these pranks! UGH!" Macy yelled.

"It's bad enough that we have to deal with Soonchan's crap! We don't need any more!" Michael complained.

"I am so proud of my girl! She's truly learning from the best!" Soonchan said as he stared at Blaineley.

Chris looked over to see Soonchan's 'girl' and growled under his breath, "Her..." Blaineley shot him an evil smile and snickered evilly to herself.

"SO LONG SUCKERS!" Blaineley yelled out to them as her private jet arrived. She ran in, laughing loudly. Chris continued to growl. "You're gonna pay for this..." he thought.

"Guys...looks like we're going to have to save the General Zod act for another time. Macy, Michael, as soon as I change out of this wet robe, please wash it for me!" Chris said. Macy and Michael sighed and nodded their heads.

*cut to Malchoir Forest*

"Good luck Colin!" Olivia told Colin before she left with her team.

"Good luck to you too, Olivia! Not that you need it, haha!" Colin said back.

Deja suddenly grabbed Colin by the collar of his shirt and threatened, "You are not going to help the other team like you did last time! Or we are so going to vote you off! Capiche?!" Colin gulped and quickly nodded and Deja let go.

*static*

*in confessional* Colin: Deja's on to me. I just know it. Why do I have to be on the same team as her anyway?!

*static*

*back to Malchoir Forest*

Colin then opened up his map and said, "So, according to this map, our X is DEEP into Malchoir Forest. But I wonder what that big circle is right on top of that X?"

Manitoba overheard his question and then came over to take a look at his map. "That, my friend, is a stone mausoleum. It's pretty difficult to go deep into that forest and find it. Malchoir Forest has some pretty threatening creatures. Trust me, I've explored around these premises before. It's almost as dangerous as some of those vicious dingoes at the outback!" he warned. "But you guys are pretty swell explorers! You'll find your way around!" he reassured as he walked over to the Valiant Knights. The Devilish Demons then continued their search for the treasure.

"So, according to this map, we've gotta head that way!" Lyell said, pointing in the direction of the X.

Manitoba then took a peek at Lyell's map and then said, "Ah, you're headin' that way towards Mt. Chrismore, mates. I went in the Chrismore Cave this morning and...I got this..." He then pulled back the sleeve of his shirt and showed some red scars.

"This is just a little heads-up. Not trying to intimidate you, but there's a vicious creature in there. But you have some strong leaders over here, so you'll get by for sure!" Manitoba said, pointing to Lyell and Brianna. They both grinned.

Suddenly, Manitoba gasped and Mike took control of his body. "Where am I?" Mike wondered. He then looked at his watch and widened his eyes. "Oh shoot! I forgot! I have to go to Zoey's house for our movie date! Gotta run! See you all later!" he exclaimed as he ran over to the shores of Malchoir to get on his boat and go home. The Valiant Knights then proceeded to find their treasure.

The Valiant Knights made their way towards Mt. Chrismore, which was surprisingly not too far from the courtyards.

"Look! I see the peak! It doesn't seem too far now!" Brianna said to the team as they continued on their path. Suddenly, they were surrounded by an army of goblins that were blocking their way from all sides.

"Oh great. What are we going to do now?" Daniel wondered as he looked at all the fierce goblins.

"Looks like we're just going to have to go through them and kick them off..." Brant thought. Before he could make a move, one of the goblins took out a big javelin and tried to hit his foot, but Brant moved away just in time.

"Or wait...we can kick them off before they attack! And after all, we're much bigger than them! That should work!" Brant planned out.

They then put their plan in action and managed to escape the army safely, aside from one of the goblins hitting Connor on the foot, which hurt quite a bit. Before they could keep going, a giant orc blocked their path and growled fiercely. Lyell noticed a vine on a tree that they could use, but before he could grab onto it, the orc raised a pocket knife and cut it off.

"Well I guess that's not going to work..." Lyell thought.

"Actually, I have an idea..." Brianna said. She whispered her plan to the team and the orc stared in wonder as he thought what the team was going to do next.

"GET HIM!" Brianna yelled out as all the contestants, except for Connor, grabbed the orc with all their might and didn't let him move.

"NOW CONNOR!" Brianna yelled out to Connor. Connor then ran over to the orc and gave him a flying powerhouse kick to the groin. The orc fell to the ground and squealed in pain.

"Great job team!" Brianna said as she and her team members gave each other high-fives.

*cut to Malchoir Forest*

"Are we there yet?" Jordan groaned tiredly as she dragged her feet, hung her head, and stooped her back deeply.

"Not quite. We still have a long way to go..." Deja said as she looked at the map.

"I would say it would be at least sometime before we arrive" Colin continued. As he looked up from the map, he saw a large army of huge trolls and orcs blocking their path.

"Uh-oh...that can't be good..." Colin said to himself.

"Don't worry, folks! Brighton can take care of this!" Brighton ran over and attempted to tackle the orc in front of him, but the orc swung its fist and punched him out of the way.

"AHHHHHH!" he hollered as he flew from a distance. A crash among some trees could be heard and he shouts, "I'm okay!"

"You are such a wimp, Brighton!" Jordan said as she fiercely attacked the beasts with all her might.

"Hey! It's my turn!" Brighton shouted as he ran as fast as he could to the army of beasts and started pounding on them.

"Well, that got rid of them!" Brighton proudly said as the beasts all ran away.

The Devilish Demons continued to walk through the dark forests of Malchoir. Before they could do anything else, they spotted a dark elf.

"Hey, look! It's an elf!" Deja exclaimed, pointing to the elf.

"You call this threatening?! This thing is harmless!" Brighton said as he picked up the elf and laughed at it.

The elf suddenly waved its hands, muttered a spell to itself, and Brighton was once again sent flying. He hit a tree and he could see stars going around his head. He suddenly smelled some smoke and noticed that he was catching on fire.

"AHHHHH! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!" he screamed as he ran around in circles.

The elf then cast another spell and sent a big ball of frigid cold water towards Brighton.

"BRRRR! COLD! COLD! COLD!" he screamed as he shivered.

"Oh, for heaven's sake! Get rid of him like this!" Jordan snapped.

The elf sent a big block of ice towards Jordan, but Jordan reflected it with a shield that was lying nearby, and it hit the elf, freezing it. Jordan then slapped Brighton across the face to wake him up. And he finally did.

"Well...thanks for that..." Brighton said sarcastically.

"You're welcome. Now, come on! We've got some treasure to find! And we still have a long way to go. Let's go!" she nagged Brighton. Brighton then got up and they continued their search for the treasure.

*cut to Mt. Chrismore*

"Ah, we are finally here!" Brianna said to the team as they all stood around and caught their breaths before moving foward once again.

"Now let's go and sink our teeth into some of that mula!" Lyell proudly said as he led his team into the cave. Before they could enter, a loud screech could be heard from the distance. Daniel was immediately startled as he covered his ears.

"Ugh! I hate that noise! Where the hell is it coming from?!" Daniel yelled out as he still covered his ears.

Suddenly, a huge, black dragon stood in their way and roared in their faces. He suddenly breathed a great amount of fire at the Valiant Knights. Luckily, they jumped out of the way just in time.

"Phew! That was a close one!" Olivia said as she sighed with relief.

"That dragon almost reminds me of the Hungarian Horntail from Harry Potter!" Daniel exclaimed.

"The only problem is that the treasure is still in the cave. We can't go inside if the dragon is blocking our entrance..." said Brant.

Connor suddenly ran into the entrance in an attempt to get past the dragon.

"Connor! What are you doing, bro?!" Lyell shouted in concern for his team mate.

The dragon immediately spotted Connor and started chasing him around. "The entrance is now open! Now's your chance!" Connor shouted as the dragon chased after him.

"What about you?" Daniel asked.

"Don't worry about me! Save yourselves! I'll deal with this hideous beast from here! Go get the treasure and win the challenge!" Connor said.

As soon as he finished that sentence, the dragon attempted to tackle him, but he jumped out of the way just in time. The dragon then sat up and screeched at the top of its lungs. While doing so, Connor did a powerful powerhouse kick on the dragon, immediately sending it crashing to the ground. While Connor was punching and kicking at it, the dragon then grabbed Connor with its powerful claws and threw him, sending him flying into a tree. Nevertheless, Connor did not give up.

"You can beat me down. You can break my bones. You can even kill me. But you will never take away my dignity!" Connor proclaimed proudly as he and the dragon continued to tussle in a fight to the finish. While the dragon was scratching Connor with its sharp claws and whipping him with his tail, Connor was using some powerhouse kicks against it and even some powerful punches. Screeches and screams could be heard from the two of them as well as their fierce beatings.

*cut to the inside of Chrismore Cave*

"Well, here we are. Chrismore Cave" Brianna said as they entered the cave.

"Here's the cave, but where's the X?" Brant wondered.

Connor was then heard screaming from the cave. Not too long later, some sirens could be heard. The Valiant Knights suddenly exited the cave and were shocked to see Connor in a body cast and a wheelchair. Scars, black marks, and bruises covered his skin and many parts of his body were broken and injured. He was very much alive, but he was badly injured. The medics then proceeded to put Connor inside an ambulance and then drive away. The dragon was not around, but he could be seen flying into Malchoir Forest elsewhere.

"Sorry, Knights. Since Connor has been badly injured by one of our dragons, he will be unable to rejoin you guys for the duration of the game. But you guys still have a chance at winning. Now go!" Chris announced to the Valiant Knights. The team then reentered the cave to continue the challenge.

*static*

*in confessional* Olivia: I feel bad about what happened to Connor. But it was so brave of him to fight that dragon like that.

*static*

*in confessional* Brant: Connor was a true hero and I wish him the best of luck and hope that he recovers from his injuries soon.

*static*

*in confessional* Daniel: Oh man. It took a lot of guts for Connor to do something like that. I feel bad about how he got injured but I'm proud of him for standing up for us like that. It was very manly, haha.

*static*

*in confessional* Brianna: So, a Valiant Knight has fallen. Too bad he won't be rejoining the game in the future. I hope he gets well soon and I am more determined than ever to win for us and for Connor. We've got to maintain the team spirit like Connor did. We need enthusiasm like Connor did. We need dignity like Connor did. Connor had all of those aspects and he had the guts to stand up for all of us. We have to win this for him.

*static*

*in confessional* Lyell: I hope our bro gets better soon. He had the 'be a man' attitude and it really paid off, even if it meant sacrificing the million for us. I wish him the best of luck.

*cut to Chrismore Cave*

"Guys...I see two different paths that can possibly lead to the treasure. But...which one?" Brianna wondered, pointing to two paths. There was one path that was in the direction they were facing and there was another path that pointed to the right.

"Why don't we try the forward path first? It can be like a trial-and-error process!" Brant suggested.

"Yeah, we can do something like that" Brianna responded as she and her teammates headed on the forward direction. The path was brown and dirty and the pathway was very dark.

"Good thing I packed a flashlight just in case!" Daniel said as he reached into his pack and took out a flashlight.

He flashed the light into the darkness and his teammates followed him. A few minutes later, they noticed that a dead end was coming up.

"Watch out guys. Looks like this is a dead end...hey, what the heck is that?" Brianna said as she pointed to a green head with two pale red eyes and yellow teeth that glistened in the darkness. Fierce growling could be heard and the figure jumped towards the Valiant Knights.

"AHHHHHH!" they all screamed. Their screams echoed throughout the island.

*cut to Malchoir Forest*

Colin could hear the screams from Mt. Chrismore echo throughout the forest. He suddenly started to get concerned.

*static*

*in confessional* Colin: Gee, I hope Olivia is okay...

*static*

*back to Malchoir Forest*

"Hey, what's the matter kid? Worried about your girlfriend?" Deja asked Colin.

"What girlfriend?" Colin asked, pretending to be oblivious.

"That's what I thought..." Deja continued.

"Guys! I think I see the mausoleum!" Colin exclaims, pointing toward a small, stone building in a nearby meadow. "Looks like we made it!"

"WOO HOO! Way to go, team!" Brighton cheered.

The Devilish Demons then headed towards the mausoleum to retrieve their treasure. They opened the stone door and the room had candlesticks, pictures of Queen Chef and King Chris, diamond decorations, and a coffin right in the center. On the coffin lay a big red X.

"Looks like that's the treasure..." Deja said, having some doubts.

The Devilish Demons then opened their coffin and found a wooden ladel used to stir and mix food. It had the Devilish Demons symbol on it.

"A SPOON?! YOU WANTED ME TO BREAK MY BACK OVER A FRIGGIN' SPOON?!" Jordan shouted.

"Hey, at least we found the treasure. Now let's get out of here!" Deja snapped back. She threw the ladel to Colin and they exited the mausoleum. As they exited, a giant, black figure jumped in the way of their path and let out another loud screech. The demons certainly looked intimidated at the sight of this creature.

*cut to Chrismore Cave*

Daniel had a big stick in his hand and he was backing away from the creature that was revealed to be feral Zeke!

"GRRRRRRAAAAHHHHHLLLLAAAAAAHHHH!" Ezekiel snarled fiercely as he bit the stick, shook it around, broke it in half, and sent them both flying.

"EEEEEEEEK!" Daniel shrieked.

Lyell attempted to head to the other path, but Ezekiel immediately noticed and jumped in the way just in time, snarling at Lyell. Lyell nearly jumped out of his skin and ran off.

"Guys! I have an idea! But it's going to cost some money..." Brianna sighed as she took out a $20 bill from her backpack. She then found a thin stick with holes on both sides, put the bill into a scroll, and put it inside the stick.

"HEY ZEKE! YOU WANT SOME MONEY?!" Brianna shouted to Ezekiel. Ezekiel nodded enthusiastically and Brianna blew into the stick, sending the dollar bill flying out of the cave. Ezekiel ran after it as fast as he could and exited the cave, forgetting about the world around him.

"Nice going, Bri!" Lyell said as he high-fived Brianna.

"Thanks bro! Now, let's get that treasure!" Brianna encouraged as she and the team went through another path that went upwards.

"So...much...walking..." Olivia complained as she traveled up the steep path.

"Hang in there, girl. We're almost there!" Lyell responded as they approached a light opening. Not too long later, they finally arrived. As soon as they arrived at the opening, they found a big treasure chest with a large X on top.

"How convenient! The chest has already been dug up for us!" Daniel cheered.

The team then proceeded to open the chest. Inside the chest was a large cauldron with a Valiant Knights symbol on it.

"A cauldron? What in the world is it doing in this chest?!" Brant asked out of curiosity.

"Well, at least we found the treasure. Now, let's get out of here before-" Brianna started to say, but before she could finish her sentence, a big snarl cut her off. She turned around and was surprised to see Ezekiel.

"Guys! Look down there!" Lyell shouted out, pointing to a small pond that was right next to Mt. Chrismore. "We're going to be in for a wet surprise, but as long as we get out of here safely with the treasure, we're in good shape!"

"Good idea! Let's get out of here!" Brianna replied. The Valiant Knights then all proceeded to jump off Mt. Chrismore and into the pond before Zeke caught up to him. They helped each other in picking up the treasure and running to the courtyards.

"Oh great...what are we going to do now?!" Jordan shouted out of frustration.

"Quick! Let's go that way! It's the only way we can get away from the dragon safely!" Colin said, pointing to a path that the dragon was not blocking.

The Devilish Demons then ran on the path as fast as they could. Unfortunately, the dragon blew some fire and it struck the wooden ladel that Colin was carrying. Colin dropped the ladel in panic after feeling it burn his hand and the ladel burned into ashes.

"Oh great! Yet another loss!" Brighton complained.

"Way to ruin everything, Colin!" Jordan shouted at Colin.

"That's it! At the elimination ceremony tonight, you are SO gone!" Deja snapped at Colin.

*in confessional* Colin: Well, I guess this is it...goodbye Malchoir Island...goodbye million dollars...goodbye Olivia...*sighs loudly*

*cut to courtyards*

Both teams arrived at the courtyards at the exact same time, panting profusely and catching their breaths. The Valiant Knights had their cauldron, but the Devilish Demons had nothing in their hands.

"Congrats on arriving at the same exact time! However, only the Valiant Knights have their treasure and the Devilish Demons don't even have a dubloon to spare! Looks like the Valiant Knights win once again!" Chris announced. The Devilish Demons groaned and glared at Colin while the Valiant Knights cheered.

"However, I do have some good news for the Devilish Demons! There will be no elimination tonight, since Connor left the game due to his injuries!" Colin sighed with relief while the Devilish Demons continued to glare at him. Olivia noticed this and looked very concerned for Colin.

*in confessional* Olivia: I'm getting really worried about Colin right now. Something about him is just bothering his teammates right now. I hope it doesn't last very long. I have so much to tell him right now...I just hope I can tell him soon. If only I can stop being so nervous.

*in confessional* Brighton: I told you that I'd win this fight, Connor! Nobody gets past Brighton! I can't believe I actually won though! WOO HOO! Life is sweet!

*back to courtyards*

Chris then concluded, "Well contestants! I guess that is all for today! You all may go where you all are supposed to go! Get a good night's sleep, because this next challenge is going to be very intense!" All the contestants then left to their respective locations.

"Will the Devilish Demons continue to maintain their grudge on Colin? Will Colin and Olivia ever hook up? Will Lyell succeed in his role as Cupid between them? Will I finally get my revenge against Blaineley? Find out next time on Total...Drama...Kingdom!"

Anyways, be excited people, because from here on out, things are going to start getting really interesting in Total Drama Kingdom! More intense drama, more intense comedy, more intensity!
