Hey guys, here's another chapter. Enjoy!
TDRTPI EP: 4 PT 1
"Last time, on Total Drama Return to Pahkitew Island! Both teams went into an intense dodgeball brawl! Balls were thrown and contestants got wet, but it all came down to Team Endeavor winning, and Harrison taking the Flush of Shame! Stay tuned for today's episode, here on Total! Drama! Return to Pahkitew Island!"
-11:00 PM At the boy's cabin for Team Challenger-
The boys sat around the cabin chatting while getting ready to bed. Kyle and Rory were playing cards on the floor, while Joey was minding his own business on his bunk. Terrance was changing out of his wet clothes, and Zach had gone out for an afternoon run claiming that he was 'out of shape'. Terrance scowled as he took off his shirt,
"Ugh, I still can't believe that my clothes are still wet! It's been hours!" Nobody answered his rhetorical question, and continued minding their own business. "At least that kid with the IPod is gone; jeez I can finally go to sleep without hearing his stupid IPod all night." Normally, Joey would've said something about this remark, but he kept his mouth shut. He was right after all.
-11:30 PM on the Beach of Pahkitew Island-
Zach kept his pace going, even though he was running out of breath. It was his 4th lap around the island, and he was going to try and make 5 before he truly ran out of breath. Looking back at the last two challenges, he wanted to make sure he was totally ready for the next challenge that Chris would throw at them.
The waves slowly lapped at the sand on the Island as the Moon shone overhead. Of course, the scenery meant nothing to Zach as he ran across the sand, kicking it up in his run. All that mattered was winning the next challenge. In fact, Zach was so focused on winning the next challenge, that he didn't notice the other figure running across the sand. With a painful smack, Zach ran into the other figure, sending them both into the sand.
"Ouch! Hey why don't you watch where you're…oh it's just you Zach. I thought it might be someone like Terrance or Madison." The figure sighed. After his vision cleared, Zach saw Nicky sitting in the sand.
"Oh sorry Nicky I was distracted. By the way what are you doing out here?" He asked her inquisitively. She laughed.
"Just doing some running. It helps clear my mind, plus I wanted to get out of the cabin. It stinks in there…"
"Yeah, typical cabins from Chris, probably doesn't want to spend money on a decent air freshener." Zach laughed. They sat there for a moment in silence, until Zach stood up and brushed himself off, "Well, I guess I better be getting back. Terrance and Joey might've gotten in a fight again and I highly doubt that Kyle or Rory can separate them." Nicky laughed,
"Haha oh ok. Good luck tomorrow!" Zach smiled back,
"You too!" And with that, he ran off to his cabin.
-11:30 PM At the girls cabin for Team Challenger-
Kayla happily sat on her bed reading one of her favorite books, while Madison was angrily trying to fix her hair.
"I can't believe they knocked me into the water! Look at my hair it's a total mess!" Madison announced. However, Kayla was too interested in her book and Victoria couldn't respond even if she wanted to. After a few minutes, Madison finally gave up and left her hair alone. She flopped onto her bed and sighed.
"Guys why do you keep voting for me in the elimination?" She asked. The question shocked Kayla, and even Victoria who made a surprised look on her face. Kayla thought for a moment, and then turned towards Madison.
"I guess we just don't like your way of leadership. You're too bossy I guess." Kayla said.
"I am not bossy!" Madison said, standing up and crossing her arms. Kayla and Victoria's eyebrow's rose as she stood there. After a moment, Madison realized what she was doing and sat back down again. "Sorry." She said.
"It's alright. Just don't order people around as much and you won't be voted in the elimination!" Kayla said happily. She then turned back to her book, and Madison pulled the covers over her head.
-CONFESSIONAL-
"Sure I said I was sorry and that I would be less bossy…but I was LYING! I'll be nice for a little while, and get them off my back. Once they stop voting for me in the elimination for a while, I'll show them the real me, and vote them off, one by one, till I'm on top!"
(Madison)
-8:00 THE NEXT DAY-
Chef drove up to the two cabins with Chris in the passenger seat with his coffee and megaphone. As the jeep came to a halt, Chris hopped off and turned back towards Chef.
"Make sure our new guests are comfortable. Okay?" Chris smiled and winked. Chef returned the favor and smiled and winked back.
Chris then walked in front of the two cabins and brought the megaphone to his mouth, "WAKEY WAKEY CAMPERS!" As soon as the words left his mouth, he could hear angered and frustrated voices from within the cabins. Soon after, the campers came out, still in their pajamas.
"Good morning campers!" Chris continued, "I want everyone to meet back here in 10 minutes, dressed and ready for today's challenge! Starting now!" The campers then groggily went back into their cabins to get dressed. 10 minutes later, they were all standing in front of Chris, awaiting the directions for his next challenge.
"Alright campers. Today's challenge is…hey is he still asleep?" Chris asked while looking at Nathan, who was indeed asleep. Chris promptly walked over to Nathan and put the megaphone to his ear, "WAKE UP!" The words nearly shattered Nathan's eardrum. Head still ringing, Nathan's eyes were now wide open and he was looking around frantically to find the source of the noise.
"As I was saying, Today's Challenge is what I like to call 'Bag and Drag'. Since we are back at Pahkitew Island, Chef and I saw it fitting to include last year's contestants in one of our challenges! Say hello to the cast from Total Drama Pahkitew Island!" Everyone watched as Chris gestured towards an oncoming boat. On board, were last year's contestants, all very excited to get another crack at winning the million dollars. When the ship finally reached the dock, they all walked off and over to Chris.
"Chris! Long time no see!" Topher's voice suddenly spoke out. At the sound of the teen's voice, however, Chris's face fell to an irritated look.
"Yes, hello Topher."
"Yes! Another chance to win the million! Mama's gonna win this one for sure!" A southern accented girl spoke out.
"Sorry Sugar, you won't be getting any money today or anytime soon." Everyone gasped.
"What do you mean? Isn't that why we're back?" Sky asked curiously.
"Yeah why'd you bring us back?" Dave repeated.
"Well, you see we have a new cast, and Chef and I saw it only fitting for you to be in one of the Challenges!" Chris said with a sadistic smile on his face.
"You can't be serious." Jasmin said. Chris laughed.
"Oh I'm serious. Plus, your contracts bind you to it, so nobody get any ideas alright? Ok good. Now, to explain the challenge to this year's contestants." Chris turned back to the new contestants. "Today, we will release last year's contestants into the forest. Both teams will run into the forest with these dart guns, and shoot last year's contestants. Then, you must-"
"Woah woah woah! What?!" Samey said, surprised.
"Let me finish! As I was saying, you must then drag their unconscious body to your team's area. The team with the most cast members wins! But remember, you only have one dart per gun, so aim carefully! Last year's contestants will have a 10 minute head start to hide, and then Team Endeavor will head in first with a 2 minute lead since they won the last challenge. Finally, Team challenger will be enabled to head in." Chef wheeled a box filled with dart guns before the two teams. "Alright old contestants, ready to hide?"
"NO!" They all said in unison (except for Topher).
"Alrighty then! Your ten minutes start…now!" The contestants then scattered and ran into the forest, searching for a hiding spot.
-IN THE FOREST-
Jasmin and Shawn ran deep into the forest, looking for the best spots to hide. Unnoticed by both of them, someone else was following them. Jasmin was stopped by Shawn suddenly as he held his arm in front of her and turned around.
"We're being followed." He stated. Jasmin nodded and the two crouched low into a bush, awaiting the follower to appear in front of them. If it was Sugar or Amy, Jasmin didn't want either of them near her. Moments passed until a figure appeared in the clearing, but before Jasmin could make out the figure, Shawn charged out of the bush, wielding a stick shouting, "ZOMBIES!" Before Shawn could strike however, Jasmin had grabbed him from behind and pulled him back. In front of him stood a very frightened Samey, who was closing her eyes and had her hands held up in defense.
"You can open your eyes now Samey. Shawn just made a mistake that's all." Samey opened her eyes and smiled weakly.
"Thank goodness. Hey, my sister isn't with you right?" Jasmin smiled and nodded.
"Nope. You're safe with us." Samey smiled and sighed.
"So where are you guys hiding?" Shawn and Jasmin looked around for a moment before spotting a tree that had a small opening in the top of the trunk.
"Let's go up there. They won't think to look in the trees."
-ELSEWHERE IN THE FOREST-
Amy sat behind a boulder, waiting for her clumsy sister to follow. She had said to follow her hadn't she? So were was she?! "She probably got lost. What a dope." Amy said and snickered. As she sat in silence, however, she heard voices.
"So, where to?" It was Dave's voice.
"Um…I kinda wanted to go alone." Sky replied.
"Oh really? Ok I'm sorry I bothered you." Dave said, his voice faltering. He was playing puppy dog with her, trying to get her to accept his company through guilt. After a moment, Sky sighed.
"Oh all right you can stay. But keep up. I know a good area to hide in."
"Gotcha!" Dave said. Soon, their voices were out of range, and Amy could no longer hear them. "Pfft, they'll probably be the first ones to be caught." Amy laughed to herself.
-BACK AT THE CABINS-
Both teams waited impatiently for Chris to announce that hiding time was over. Chris was eyeing his watch for a moment, then, he suddenly looked up and put the megaphone to his mouth.
"HIDING TIME IS UP ORIGIONAL CAST! TEAM ENDEAVOR! YOU MAY NOW ENTER THE FOREST AND BEGIN YOUR HUNT!" Team endeavor immediately took off into the forest, carrying the dart guns that Chef handed out to them.
"It's about time. How long does it take for someone to hide in a forest?" Nathan said.
"Get a move on Nathan! We want to take as many cast members as we can before our 2 minutes are up!" Mark said taking off. Nathan sighed and ran after him, hoping they could win as fast as possible. He hated this game show.
Jenna, Darryl, Penelope, and Alexander took off together after deciding that they would probably find a cast member while working together. The four of them ran into the forest, trampling grass and small shrubs, eventually slowing down after running out of breath.
"This is kinda messed up." Penelope stated, as the group made their way around trees, while keeping their eyes peeled for any movement, or sight of the old cast members.
"True, but we have to do this in order to win, and so far we're doing pretty well. I'd hope to end our winning streak so far." Alexander said. Penelope sighed and nodded.
"Honestly sometimes I wonder if all of this is really worth-" Jenna was cut off by Darryl putting a hand over her mouth. Up ahead, small voices emerged over the sounds of the birds and other wildlife in the forest. Both Penelope and Alexander noticed Darryl's actions, and followed his example. The four of them slowly crouched down and quietly made their way towards the noises. After a few seconds of crawling, Darryl had positioned himself so that he could have a good glimpse of their targets.
A red haired girl with glasses and a boy wearing what looked like a lab coat…'what kind of people did they get last year…' Darryl thought to himself. He shook the thought and looked back towards the others.
"Move around them so we'll have them surrounded. When I whistle, we all shoot at our targets. Penelope and I'll take the girl, Alex and Jenna can take the boy. Remember, we only have one shot. Got it?" The others nodded and started crawling towards their positions.
Scarlett scowled as she found herself next to one of the most annoying people on the face of the earth. Max, to whom she was referring, was currently scolding her on how her behavior as a sidekick from last season was unacceptable. Scarlett was so enraged; she could barely keep her anger down, (not to mention the sudden urge to strangle him).
"And last but not least, a sidekick does not try to take over their masters territory. Last season, the island was mine! If you hadn't stepped in the way, I would've taken it over in about a day or two. You ruined everything!" Max continued rambling on. Scarlett, who was now red in the face, turned square towards him and looked him dead in the eye.
"I! AM! NOT! YOUR! SIDEKICK!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. As soon as Max fell silent from her sudden outburst, however, Scarlett noticed rustling coming from the bushes. Her eyes narrowed as she figured out what was going on.
Darryl aimed his gun at the girl, making sure that he had her well in his sights. There was no escape, surely they had this in the bag.
"TEAM ENDEAVOR'S TWO MINUTES ARE UP! TEAM CHALLENGER IS NOW ALLOWED TO ENTER THE FOREST!" Chris's voice rang throughout the forest, informing everyone. 'Great!' Darryl thought to himself, 'Better make this quick before the other team gets here!' Darryl then whistled, and pulled the trigger.
The others (Penelope, Alexander, and Jenna) followed suit, and fired at their designated targets. Darryl was completely shocked, when the girl grabbed the boy in a flash, and used him as a human shield while running out of the way. All the boy managed to say was, "Wait wha-OW!" before a dart hit him in the stomach. He quickly fell unconscious and was dropped by the girl.
Darryl scowled as he watched her run off, and began to make his way over to the boy's unconscious form when he heard Jenna yelp. He turned his head to see Alexander slumped over, rear in the air and face in the dirt.
"What happened to him?!" Darryl said, completely confused.
"I don't know! I guess when she was moving I tried to shoot her and he just happened to be in the way when I missed!" Jenna said trying to pull Alexander up.
-Team Challenger-
Kayla and Joey ran off into the forest together, guns at the ready. It wasn't long before they heard a teen's voice yell out in the middle of the forest's tranquility. Up ahead, was a boy wearing what looked like a green robe and was waiving a stick in the air at a tree. After standing in silence for a moment, and listening to his ridiculous rambling, Joey decided that he was just a geek and that it would be an easy grab.
"I got this one Kayla." Joey said smiling to himself as he moved for a closer shot. Kayla smiled back and watched as he moved towards his target. Apparently, the boy was trying to summon a griffin to take him off the island. Joey unintentionally laughed out loud, catching the teen's attention.
"W-what? Who's there? Stand back or I'll cast a spell on you!" He warned. Joey restrained a smile, not wanting to look deranged or demented.
"Sorry about this dude. Just playing the game." Before he could pull the trigger, the boy did one last attempt to save himself.
"Force field! ACTIVATE!" He waved his wand in a circle, and closed his eyes, hoping it would save him. Joey pulled the trigger and the dart hit him in the ribs. With a sudden shake from the impact, the boy looked at the dart, and back at Joey.
"I'm really starting to think that this magic thing doesn't worrrrrkkkkk…." While finishing his sentence, the dart had started sending him to sleep. With a loud thud, he fell to the ground. Kayla came out from her hiding place and hugged Joey.
"Great job! C'mon, let's take him back to our base!" Joey, who was not expecting the sudden hug, turned beet red. Kayla didn't pay any attention, however, and grabbed the boy's feet. Joey realized what she was doing, and grabbed the boy's shoulders, and they began to take him off towards their base.
-CONFESSIONAL-
"I'm starting to think that Kayla's kinda getting close with me. Maybe a little to close…well…I mean it's not bad…I'm just…I mean…UGH THIS IS CONFUSING!"
(Joey)
-Shawn/Samey/Jasmin-
After a few moments of struggling with the branches, Jasmin and Shawn had finally pulled Samey up to the top of their tree, where the three of them currently sat. From their view, they could see the camp, beach, and most of the ground below, all the while in the safety of the tree's branches and leaves.
"Wow. This is a great spot. Still…I'm not so sure if I like being up so high…" Samey said looking down for a moment, then looking straight back up and holding onto the trunk of the tree. Jasmin laughed and patted her on the back.
"Oh don't worry. Just don't look down. At least your sister Amy ain't here am I right?" The mention of Amy made Samey cringe and she nodded. Anywhere without Amy was heaven.
"I've been climbing trees for a good 8 years now. Good skill to know when facing the zombie apocalypse. They can't get you up here!" Shawn pointed out. Jasmin smiled and put her arm around him.
"Right."
-Dave/Sky-
Dave followed Sky as she walked towards a cave. Inside, she walked over to a wall, and Dave immediately lost sight of her.
"Sky? SKY?!" He called frantically. Sky's hand shot out behind a crack and pulled Dave into a crevice into the wall. As soon as he landed inside the small crevice, she put her finger on his lips, making the 'SH' symbol. Dave nodded, and settled down. Sky smiled and relaxed against the wall.
"From here on out, we just wait. Sooner or later Chris will call the game off, and we can come out of hiding." Sky predicted.
"Wow, I would've never thought of that! Hey how did you find this place? I didn't see it when I was staying here." Dave questioned.
"I found it when we were doing the 'Hurl and go Seek' challenge." Sky responded. Dave frowned. He remembered how he had gotten voted off on that episode, and how they had gotten off on the wrong foot. He just hoped that now they could at least be friends.
-Team Endeavor-
Nathan watched quietly as a rather chubby southern accented girl walked through the forest, almost, it seemed, oblivious to the game in progress. 'This'll be a cakewalk.' Nathan then waited for the girl to get into the middle of a small clearing, where he would have a good shot.
"Phew, it sure is hot out here. Wonder if there's a vendin' machine still on this island?" The girl said as she wiped some sweat off her eyebrow. Nathan aimed carefully, and pulled the trigger. To his amazement, the girl acted as though she barely felt the shot, and merely turned around towards his position, looking angry.
"WHO SHOT THIS? I SWEAR WHEN I FIND YOU, YOU'RE IN FOR A WHOMP OF PAIN!" Sweat started pouring down Nathan's face. He could only hope that the dart would kick in soon. Without warning, a hand shot into the bushes and grabbed Nathan by the collar.
"SO IT WAS YOU HUH? WELL, GET READY! CAUSE I'M GONNA….gonna….gon...na….ugh." Just as quick as she was enraged, she fell unconscious. Unfortunately for Nathan, she fell right on top of him. Nathan struggled for a moment before freeing himself from the unconscious girl.
"Jeez what's up with her?" he asked himself. He then grabbed her arms, and began to drag her towards their base.
-Amy-
Amy sat, bored and uncomfortable in her spot, waiting for her sister to arrive. Seeing that she would've been 10 minutes late, Amy had given up on her ignorant sister, and decided that she wouldn't allow her to join her in her hiding spot.
A few moments passed before she noticed a familiar face appear behind some bushes. Rodney was sneaking around, looking cautiously for any attackers. Amy smiled to herself. She could use Rodney as a shield if anyone got close, and he was easy to convince. She stood up, and quietly whispered his name, until she caught his attention.
"Come over here!" She whispered.
-CONFESSIONAL-
"I know that Chris said that these were for current contestants, but I can't hide my feelings for Amy! I have to tell someone! She asked me to go with her by ourselves! We're probably going to kiss! Ahhhh…" Rodney sighed.
(Rodney)
Rodney crept over to Amy's position, and sat next to her, smiling.
"Hey, keep a lookout, I need someone to watch and see if anyone is coming." Amy said. Rodney quickly nodded and set to work, keeping his eyes fixed on the surrounding forest.
-Team Challenger-
Madison searched and searched but could not find a single person in the forest. Beginning to become frustrated, she started yelling aloud, to nobody in particular.
"Are you serious? How hard is it to find someone in a forest! Not to mention I can't find my own teammates! Where'd they go huh?" She angrily swatted at a plant in front of her and continued moving forwards.
"Does someone need a hug?" A voice called out from behind her. Madison jumped at the unexpected voice and dropped her gun into the plants. She turned around and saw what looked like a princess to her. She was dressed in a pink dress, pink gloves, and pink shoes. "You look upset. What is wrong?" Madison slapped her hand to her head.
"Ugh, you do know we're here to hunt you down, right?"
"Oh really? I thought that Chris was just letting us have some fun in the forest." The girl replied innocently. Madison just stared. Was she serious? Then she realized her gun was gone, and began searching the ground for it.
"Just stay right there for a moment will you?" Madison said, excitedly as she searched for her gun. After feeling around for a moment, her hand finally felt the gun and she pulled It out and aimed towards the position the girl was in.
However, she wasn't standing there anymore. She had wandered off.
Madison began to shake with anger.
"OH COME ON!"
-BACK AT THE CAMP-
Chris happily sat on his lawn chair sipping his coffee, while watching the campers chase each other with dart guns.
"Hey Chris! I'm back!" Topher's voice was like acid to Chris's ears. He just couldn't stand this kid anymore, not after what he did last season.
"Topher. Get back in the game. YOU'RE BEING HUNTED!" Chris shouted at him. The boy gave no response, and began talking about a completely different topic.
"So Chris, you and I got off on the wrong foot last time, and I think I have a new proposal. What if I Co-Hosted Total Drama?! Wouldn't that be great? I bet the ratings would go up!" Chris now had his head in his hands, and was trying to block out the teens voice. Then, an idea popped into his head. Chris grabbed the megaphone off a nearby table and raised it to his mouth.
"NEW RULE! WHOEVER GETS THE BOY WITH LIGHT BROWN HAIR, WEARING LONG PANTS, AND A DARK BLUE SHIRT, GETS INVINCIBILITY AND AN ADVANTAGE IN THE NEXT ROUND!" Topher then screamed, and ran off into the forest screaming help. Chris laughed and turned towards the camera.
"Well that got rid of him. Watch as our contestants search the forest, and hunt down last year's competitors here, on Total! Drama! Return to Pahkitew Island!"
