Before I begin the disclaimer, welcome everybody to the (delayed) day 2 of New Chapter Week! More details will be below. Enjoy!

"Welcome back to Total Pilgrim Island! Just before the break, we saw the two teams obtain their first item and were on their way to their second clue. Let's watch," Chris said as he reintroduced the show.
Scott's team was busy running back to camp to make it to the Outhouse Confessional. "So do you think the next clue is at the Confessional," Scott asked to Ramona as they ran.
The American Ninja Delivery Girl shrugged her shoulders and replied, "If its not there, I don't know where it could be."
"The only place I can think of is Chef's kitchen. Trust me, it's not pretty in the actual kitchen," Wallace remarked.
Scott raised an eyebrow and asked, "How do you know this?"
"You think I brought a ton of beer? Scott, Scott, Scott, you should knew me better than that. I took some from Chef's fridge yesterday," Wallace said as they came up on the outhouse.
Matthew and Todd were already there and they both looked pissed. Matthew was busy ordering some of the demon hipster chicks around while Todd was telekinetically wailing on a dummy he made out of dirt.
Lucas approached his fellow evil exes and asked, "Hey guys, what's wrong?"
"Read the damn sign on the door of the Confessional," Lucas said as he used his powers to make the head of the dummy explode.
Kim pulled the sign off the door and said, "'Did I forget to tell you that the Confessional was neutral ground and nothing is in it? I did? Ha ha, sucks to be you. Love Chris.' Wow, what an ass."
Scott looked at his teammates and asked, "So what should we do now?"
"I sent some of my Demon Hipster Chicks out to investigate, see if they can find it," Matthew said as he then grinned evilly, "And I told them to mess with the other team if they find them."
"Wait, Wallace, you said the only other place you could think of was the kitchen, right," Scott asked, turning to his former roommate.
Wallace, who was currently talking to Lucas, responded, "What? Oh yeah, I did."
Ramona put on her roller blades and asked, "Well what are we waiting for? An invitation?" Ramona skated toward the mess hall, her teammates following.
Confession Cam (Lol Nope!)
Todd – To be honest, I hope Ramona screws up somewhere down the line. I still haven't forgotten how harshly she broke up with me and it would be awesome to see Scott break down from not having Ramona around.
Ramona skated to the door of the mess hall and removed her skates before peering inside the building. Nobody was inside but there was a large container of what appeared to be Chef's mystery meat. Lying on the bottom of the container was a small red keychain that read "Drama." Ramona approached the keychain but the smell of the meat instantly repelled her.
The rest of the team approached the building and saw Ramona standing outside. "Well," Todd remarked nastily, "Were you wrong?"
Ramona shook her head and said, "No it's there."
"Then where the hell is it," Matthew asked angrily.
"In a bucket of Chef's mystery meat," Ramona replied with a glare directed toward her exes.
Matthew paled and said, "Oh crap."
Todd scoffed and said, "Please, let me handle this." He entered the room and then started to use his powers, his eyes turning a milky white. The keychain lifted out of the tub of meat and into Todd's hand. He was about to walk out when he noticed that there was a piece of paper tucked under the container. He picked it up before emerging from the mess hall. "Piece of cake," Todd said as he tossed the keychain to Scott.
Scott caught it and said, "So what's the clue?"
"Clue," Todd blinked in confusion.
Kim drawled, "Yeah dumbass, the clue that tells us where to go next."
"Is that what that paper is," Lucas asked, noticing the paper in Todd's hand.
The psychic vegan tossed the piece of paper to Wallace and said, "I don't know, figure it out yourself."
Wallace unfolded the paper and read, "If you're looking for your final clue, be prepared to get muddy. Are you extreme enough to find it?"
"Does anyone know what the hell this is talking about," Scott asked with a confused look on his face.
Wallace tapped his chin in thought and said, "If I'm not mistaken, in the first season of "Total Drama" a challenge took place on a big mud pond in the middle of the woods. I would suggest we head there at once."
"Well you heard the man, let's get moving," Ramona said before turning to her exes and said, "Unless you three have a problem with that."
Lucas held his hands up and said, "I'm fine with it. And I'm not that bad of a guy anymore. I get that it'll be hard for you to earn my trust back, but I'm telling the truth."
"So you're betraying us then," Todd said before flying off to try to find the mud pit. Matthew said nothing as he summoned a couple of his Demon Hipster Chicks before departing.
Confession Cam (A rift has formed)
Lucas - I honestly do want to make amends. If the other exes can't accept that, well screw them.
Scott – If we do happen to lose, I think we can swing the votes so that either Matthew or Todd will go home. If Lucas does want to earn our trust, he can't turn against us.
Neil's team was currently running toward the boathouse, where they presumed their next item was located. Gideon had intentionally got Roxie and Ken to walk with him.
The seventh evil ex spoke in hushed tones, "So what do we do should we lose? We have to target one of the others if we wish to go onto the next round."
"I don't know what the hell you're talking about," Roxy stated, "They agreed to not vote for me."
"Yes, but how long do you expect them to keep that promise? How do you know they won't backstab you as soon as you get the chance," Gideon asked with a serious expression on his face.
Ken nodded and said, "I agree. But how do we keep them from voting us?"
Gideon smirked and said, "Worry not, I have a plan."
Confession Cam (He's still evil! Or is he?)
Gideon – I know I said I'm no longer evil, but being manipulative and causing trouble isn't evil, it's just frowned upon.
Stephen was walking by himself thinking about song lyrics for future songs. If he had any good ideas, he would send a text to Joseph asking him to write them down. He was interrupted from his thoughts when Gideon appeared next to him and asked, "Hey Stephen, I have a proposition for you."
"What is it," the guitarist asked as he was still a bit apprehensive about Gideon.
"Don't vote for me or Ken tonight and I will help you get your music published to a larger audience. No strings attached," the final evil ex replied.
Stephen raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why would you want me to do that?"
Gideon sighed, hoping to earn pity, and said, "Well, if I truly want to prove I'm no longer a bad guy, I can't leave yet. And poor Ken needs a chance to prove himself, his brother always got the glory."
Stephen sighed and asked, "If I did do this, who would I vote for?"
"I would advise Stacey, mainly because she's not a threat and I don't think she'll do anything wrong. You won't have to worry," Gideon said as he gently gave Stephen a pat on the back.
"Fine. Just this once," Stephen remarked as he walked away.
"That's all I need," Gideon replied, a sinister grin on his face.
Neil, Knives and Stacey were all walking together as they proceeded to the boathouse. Since they were the youngest of the group of competitors, they had to stick together. "So what's the plan should we lose? I don't know any of those evil ex guys, so I don't know who to vote for," Stacey asked curiously.
Knives tapped her chin and said, "Well we told Roxy we wouldn't vote for her. So that leaves Gideon and Ken. I would pick Gideon personally. Ken's nicer than his title of evil ex leads you to believe."
"Plus Gideon did kill Scott that one time," Neil pointed out.
Stacey nodded and said, "That's right, I remember that happening. That plan works for me."
Roxy suddenly charged past shouting, "This is taking too damn long! Come on everyone, we need to hurry. No damn way I'm losing yet!"
Gideon and Ken ran by a moment later, with Gideon saying, "Slow down! We need to stick together." The three teens looked at each other and took off after their team.
"Way to leave me behind guys," Stephen said as he stood around for a moment before chasing his teammates.
Confession Cam (It's a trap!)
Stephen – To be honest, I can't tell if Gideon is tricking me into not voting for him. He could be telling me the truth and he does want to redeem himself, however impossible it may be. On the other hand, if he's lying then everything he's been saying has been a ruse.
Gideon – Now time for the next part of my plan. I need to make it look like one Scott's friends screwed up so if we lose, they go home. My allies and I are safe and we can tie in the votes.
Roxy kicked down the door to the boathouse and looked inside, her ninja eyes making it easier to see in dark places. Hanging on a hook on the wall next to the keys for the two boats was a green keychain that said, "Drama." Attached to the keychain was an envelope that more than likely held the next clue. Roxy grabbed the key and the envelope and exited the boathouse. The rest of her team was waiting outside and she said, "I found the item. Here, someone figure out this clue."
The fourth evil ex tossed the envelope randomly and Stephen was the one who happened to catch it. He opened the envelope and read, "Your final item resides where someone learned a cold lesson."
"The hell," Roxy shouted.
Neil looked around and asked, "Has anyone watched this show before?"
Everybody shook their heads before Stephen pointed behind everyone else and said, "In that case, how about we check the snowy mountain? Though that doesn't make sense because it's summer."
"Makes sense to me," Gideon added, supporting the idea.
Neil nodded and said, "But that's a long way. Roxy, would you go check there? We can search the woods for Chris while we wait."
"Fine. But only because I want to win this too," Roxy said as she turned into smoke once more and flew toward the mountain.
Neil turned to his team and said, "Alright guys, pair up and look for Chris. I'll go with Stephen. Knives, you go with Stacey. Gideon you go with Ken." The teams split up and started to search the woods.
Scott's team, minus Todd and Matthew, was wandering through the woods, searching for the mud puddle that Wallace mentioned. "Wallace, do you have any idea where the mud puddle is," Scott asked as he turned to his former roommate.
Wallace shook his head, a beer in his hand, and said, "Sorry Scott, I don't."
Ramona quirked an eyebrow and asked, "Wait, where did you get that?"
"Found it," Wallace replied with a shrug.
"So you know that there's a big mud puddle in the woods, but you don't know where it is," Kim asked, "How exactly is that helpful?"
"Sorry Kim, that's all I can tell you," Wallace commented.
Lucas held up his skateboard and asked, "Do you want me to go scout ahead? Maybe I can find it."
"Going to go scheme with Matthew and Todd," Ramona asked a scowl on her face.
"Come on Ramona, unlike those assholes, I've changed. Why don't you believe me," Lucas asked.
Ramona glared for another moment before turning her head away, her arms crossed.
Scott nodded and said, "Go ahead Lucas." The skater nodded and hopped on his skateboard, heading farther into the forest.
"Don't tell me you actually trust him," Ramona asked with a hint of venom in her voice.
"No way Ramona. I still think he's up to no good. But if he's really changed, he'll prove it now," Scott said, patting his girlfriend's shoulder comfortingly.
Confession Cam (And the rift widens)
Ramona – There's not a chance in hell that Lucas has changed. He was such an arrogant pompous jerk when we dated and I'm certain his ego only inflated when he was a movie star.
Matthew was flying through the air when one of his Demon Hipster Chicks reported back to him. She whispered something in his ear and he grinned before replying, "Good. Now find the others and show them where to go. I'll meet you there."
Roxy's ghostly form approached the large, flat top of the mountain. She returned to her human form in the middle of the icy plain. She looked around but all she could see around her was snow. "That damn clue better be somewhere else on that mountain," Roxy stated as she turned back into her ghostly form and started to head down the mountain.
Neil and Stephen were searching for Chris' tent when Lucas just so happened to skate by. "Hey guys, what's up," Lucas asked as he circled the two friends.
"Not much," Stephen shrugged.
"Just trying to find Chris," Neil added.
Lucas stopped and asked, "Wait, so you don't have your last item yet?"
"No," Neil said with a shake of the head.
Lucas skated off and said, "Well, I gotta get going. Good luck guys."
Stephen smacked Neil in the back of the head and asked, "Why did you tell him that, idiot?"
Scott, Ramona, Wallace and Kim were all walking through the forest in a random direction until one of the Demon Hipster Chicks floated down in front of them. It beckoned to them to follow it. "Um, what the hell is that thing doing," Kim asked.
Wallace walked forward and said, "It obviously wants us to follow it. Come on."
Scott shrugged, knowing Wallace usually knew better than most, and followed him. After a moment's hesitation, Ramona and Kim followed as well.
Roxy materialized in front of Gideon and Ken and said, "Well it wasn't on the mountain. Head for camp, I'll get the others."
"Why do we go to camp," Ken asked.
"Obviously the only other cold thing on this stupid island is the freezer," Roxy replied with a roll of her eyes.
"That's convenient," Gideon remarked, "One of Scott's friends was wrong about the clue, thereby giving us a reason to vote for him should we lose." Roxy smirked at this before becoming smoke and trying to find the others.
Matthew was in the mud pit looking for the item when he noticed a lone flag on the bank of the large pool. Attached to the flag was a keychain with the word "Island" on it as well as a rolled up piece of paper. Matthew read it and grinned as Scott, Ramona, Kim, Wallace and the Demon Hipster Chick entered the clearing.
"Oh, hey guys. So I found the final item and we have to go to Chris' trailer to find him. It should be on the beach according to this," Matthew said with a grin.
Ramona raised an eyebrow and said, "And how do we know you aren't tricking us?"
"I'm trying to prove that I'm useful to the team here! I know you all think I'm not good for anything," Matthew shouted angrily.
"That's true, I don't think you're that useful," Scott admitted.
Matthew pointed at Scott and said, "See? Exactly my point!"
"Fine, I'll trust you. For now. Once this challenge is over though I'm going back to not trusting you," Ramona said with a slight glare.
"Let's find Lucas and Todd, and then head for the beach," Scott said as the team prepared to move out.
"Actually, let me find Lucas," Todd said as he descended into the clearing, "I can read minds to a slight extent. That's how I found you. I'll find him and we'll meet you by the beach."
Kim shrugged and said, "Fine with me. I can't stand being near you, you asshole."
"Screw you too," Todd said without breaking a stride as he levitated back into the sky over the forest.
Wallace then said, "Well, let's get going, shall we?"
Confession Cam (Ramona's meaner than usual, isn't she? I wonder if something is wrong)
Scott – I'm worried Ramona's being too harsh toward Matthew, Lucas and Todd. I know they were all dicks and broke her heart, but we're a team right now. As much as I hate to admit it, we need to work together.
Matthew – Ramona could show me some gratitude! I found the final clue dammit! I know I turned evil and wanted to help control her love life, but come on!
Roxy landed in front of Neil and Stephen and grabbed the latter by his coat. "This is all your fault," Roxy shouted angrily, shaking the guitarist, "The item wasn't on the mountain! We wasted that time for nothing! I swear, if we lose, I'm voting for you."
Neil looked shocked and said, "The item wasn't there? What do we do now?"
"Go to camp and head for the mess hall's kitchen. The freezer is the only other cold thing on this damn island," Roxy said before turning into smoke.
Stephen got off the ground and said, "What the hell is her problem? Sure I was wrong, but is that really a reason for me to leave?"
"I don't know man, but I got your back," Neil said as they started walking back to camp.
Scott, Ramona, Kim, Wallace and Matthew were all hurrying to the beach, hoping to find Chris' trailer. "Why would Chris hide in his trailer anyway? It's obvious," Matthew stated as they ran.
Wallace shrugged and said, "Sometimes the best hiding place is in plain sight."
"That makes sense," Kim said with a shrug.
"Seems a bit stupid if you ask me," Ramona grumbled.
Scott pat her on the back and said, "Relax Ramona, from the like two episodes of this show I've seen before, Chris isn't very smart. It's actually fitting."
The five continued to run in silence before arriving at the beach. They glanced to their right and noticed the trailer just a short walk down the beach. They hurried there and stopped at the door and knocked.
Chris opened the door and said, "Hey Pulverizing Pilgrims. Do you have the three keychains for me?"
Scott handed the three items in question over to Chris who nodded and said, "Very good. Wait, where are Todd and Lucas?"
"What," Scott asked.
"You need your whole team here to win," Chris said with a shrug.
"Well then it's a good thing we got here just in time," Todd said as he touched down on the ground, Lucas skating up right behind him.
"Congrats guys, you win today's challenge," Chris said before speaking into a PA system, "Attention Neil's Annihilators, you have lost the challenge. Please report to the campfire pit in an hour for the elimination ceremony. That is all."
Lucas held his hand up in the air for a high-five, but nobody obliged him. The skater looked at his team that walked back to the campgrounds and said, "Come on guys, don't leave me hanging."
Confession Cam (Yeah! So what do we win?)
Scott – It's good and all that we won, but I can't help but feel nervous that one of my friends will be eliminated. The votes technically stack against the exes, but I can never be too sure.
Ramona – To be honest, I kind of wanted to lose so we could vote off one of those assholes I used to date. Oh well, they'll go home eventually. It's only a matter of time.
Matthew – Hah! I helped my team out and basically we won because of it. Let's see if that impresses Roxy.
Roxy turned back into her human form in front of Knives and Stacey just as Chris made his announcement that they would be going to elimination. "Aw man," Stacey sighed, "I thought we had a good chance of winning."
"This is all Stephen's fault," Roxy shouted out, "He suggested going to the mountain, which ate up too much time!"
Knives glared at the other ninja-like person on her team and said, "Shut up! Anyone could've come up with that idea! It's not like we had any other leads!"
"Watch it, I could snap your little toothpick body just like that," Roxy said with a snap of her fingers for emphasis.
Knives glared at the fourth evil ex and prepared to take out her daggers when Stacey stepped between the two and said, "Stop it, both of you! We're a team so stop tearing each other apart."
Roxy huffed and said, "Whatever, I have a vote to cast." She then started to head back to camp.
Stacey looked at her retreating teammate and said, "I have a bad feeling about tonight's elimination."
Knives looked at her friend with worry and said, "It's alright, we should be fine."
Confession Cam (Who you gonna vote for?)
Roxy – Yep, Stephen's a goner. It was his stupid idea that caused us to lose. I can think of nobody else to vote for.
Knives – I think it's obvious that no matter how much those guys try to change our minds, we'll stand together to eliminate the exes. We talked it over and Gideon's going to go. We did promise Roxy we wouldn't and without Kyle, Ken isn't that bad a guy, so the choice is obvious.
Stephen – I try to keep every promise I make, so I won't vote for Roxy, Gideon or Ken. I guess I'll vote for Stacey. She'll be safe for tonight that's for sure. (He looks to the camera for a moment before sighing) I'm making a big damn mistake, aren't I?
It was an hour later and Neil's Annihilators were sitting around the campfire pit, waiting for Chris. The host showed up with Chef Hatchet by his side, the burly cook carrying a small box. "Well guys, welcome to your first elimination ceremony as a team. I'm certainly enjoying the drama everyone on this show has between them, I should have gotten you guys on a show forever ago," Chris said excitedly.
This was met with silence until Chef said, "Come on man, my game starts in twenty minutes."
Chris shrugged and said, "Okay then. Today instead of a trophy you get a keychain, which is fitting given today's challenge. Now for the twist that lasts until the merge: Both captains, meaning Neil and Scott, are immune until the merge!"
"Wow, really? That's great," Neil said, a slight smile on his face.
Chris smirked and said, "Moving on, when I call your name, come get your keychain. Whoever does not get a keychain must immediately walk the dock of shame to the boat of losers and you can't return ever! Keychains go to Neil, Knives, Ken, Roxy and Stacey." Gideon and Stephen were left without a keychain. They both looked calm, though it was unknown if they were confident, accepting their fate, or something else entirely.
"This is the final keychain. It goes to," Chris announced.

"Gideon. Stephen you have been eliminated." The guitarist simply nodded as he proceeded to the Boat of Losers and left the island. "The rest of you are safe, for now," Chris said as he and Chef Hatchet left the area. Gideon, Ken and Roxy left the area as well, heading back to their respective cabins.
"How did this happen," Neil said as left, along with Knives and Stacey.
Confession Cam (Lamenting a mistake)
Stacey – (She sighs) I'll admit, I voted for Stephen. I should have voted for Gideon but Roxy was right, Stephen cost us the challenge. It didn't help that I didn't really know him that well. I'm beginning to regret it now though. Hopefully he'll forgive me for voting for him.
Chris grinned from outside his trailer and said, "And after the second day of competition, Stephen is out of here! Will Neil find out the girl he likes voted out his best friend? Will Ramona ever warm up to the evil exes on her team? And will I milk the drama between these guys for ratings? Find out next time on Total! Pilgrim! Island!"
So, as I said earlier, welcome to day 2 of New Chapter Week! This would've been up last night but the internet was down, which is ironic because I'm at a tech school. Anyways, this means the rest of the schedule is pushed down a day. That means that the new chapter for The Copy Killer is up tomorrow and the new chapter of Total Drama High School will be up on Saturday. But the new chapter of The Second Coming (A Smash Bros Subspace-like story) was updated two days ago, on schedule! Anyways, you know the drill by now, please review and all that. I'll try to get the new chapter up as soon as I can, but I have no idea when that will be. College and whatnot. So, whether you read every chapter of New Chapter Week or you just read this story, Until Next Time!
