"Welcome back to Camp Wawanakwa one last time," Chris announced. "Last time we named our winner as Montana managed to just barely beat out Bobby. There were grand celebrations and the campers are just about ready to head home, but we've got one last twist in store for them. Keep watching because this is going to be one heck of an episode."
(Theme Song Plays)
The campers were enjoying their last day on the island with a barbecue. The couples-Beatrice and Eliot, Matthew and Annie, Parry and Montana-were all together as they talked and laughed. Dirk, Lionel and Matthew were all hanging out together in their own group. Brady was trying to make conversation with Sooz, but he didn't seem to be making any contact with her. Nicole and Jasmine were both discussing reasons as to why they should have won, while Victoria was happy to point out the flaws in their claims. Edward, Ethan, and Tony were all relaxing on the beach with the water just lapping at their feet. As usual, Momma DJ and Greta were running the food service. Only three people looked noticeable unhappy, Sophie, Ezmyralda, and Bobby, all who were distanced from the crowds.
"Ahem," Chris exclaimed as he stepped onto the scene. "I would just like to take this chance to thank you all for participating and congratulate Montana one more time."
"Yeah, I get it, I lost," Bobby snapped. "Can you please stop rubbing it in my face?"
"I wasn't finished," Chris scoffed. "As I was saying, Montana, congratulations on winning the prize, but as is the tradition of Total Drama, we still have one last challenge planned. We've hidden the case of five million dollars somewhere on the island where anyone can find it."
"Hold on!" Nicole interrupted. "That's totally unfair. That makes the entire contest meaningless."
"Yes, yes it does," Chris replied.
"Doesn't Montana get a say in this?" Nicole asked.
Chris sighed deeply, "I was hoping to avoid this…Yes, legally Montana can choose to decline the challenge and just keep the money."
"Hm, let me think about this, right," Montana muttered.
"Montana, what are you thinking?" Parry asked. "You've got the money, why risk it?"
"I came here to challenge myself and make friends," Montana explained. "I figure if I get the case then my challenge will be completed, if someone else get it then they'll have a friend like me to thank for giving them another chance, right."
"Great, so it's settled," Chris exclaimed quickly. "The case can be anywhere on the island. It's free game for everyone, so whoever is holding the case when they arrive back at the main site will immediately win the money no strings attached. Okay, go!"
Montana immediately took off into the woods. Everyone else was hesitant.
"I say we just let Montana get the money," Annie said. "I mean, she did win in the first place."
"Yeah, and I've had enough of this craziness anyways," Nicole added.
"Montana really does deserve it the most," Dirk pointed out.
"Need I remind you that this is five million dollars we're talking about?" Chris said enticingly.
"Wasn't this just a ploy to get season 2 started last time?" Victoria pointed out.
"That's not what's happening this time," Chris promised. "We've got thirteen new kids coming for a radioactive adventure next season. All of you will be out of the system by the end of today."
Some people seemed to be deeply considering bolting into the woods after Montana, yet no one made any movements yet.
"Well, I've got a meeting with the producers to attend," Chris said. "So I'll just leave you among yourselves."
The 21 former contestants stood still awkwardly for a while.
"So…" Brady tried to start to conversation.
"Let me at that case!" Jasmine exclaimed as she charged into the forest.
It took less than a microsecond for everyone else to go into a ballistic frenzy as they all took off after Montana.
Confessional:
Parry-While I'd like to help Montana get the case, I still feel the need to prove that I can do this alone. I only got as far as I did because of her, I need to see if I can actually do this on my own.
Sooz-I was eliminated for not being a part of an alliance. Well, I'm not making that mistake twice.
Victoria-In these free for all adventures the person who is bound to win is the one who you least expect. And I think I know who that is.
"Ethan!" Victoria exclaimed as she approached the boy. "I think you and I would make great partners in this challenge."
"'Kay," Ethan replied without saying or doing anything else.
"So," Victoria prompted. "What's the plan?"
"Shhh," Ethan shushed. "Just listen to the wind and let's voice guide you."
"Um…sure, why not," Victoria muttered.
Meanwhile, a larger alliance was being formed in another part of the forest.
"Alright," Lionel exclaimed. "A team of guys like us is sure to dominate this challenge."
He nodded at his three other partners, Michael, Brady, and Dirk.
"We'll have the money in no time and then we can split it four ways," Lionel continued.
"Oh, look, there's Tony," Dirk pointed out. "Tony, want to join our alliance!"
Tony looked over and smiled at the boys.
"No, he does not want to join your alliance," Jasmine snapped. "Because he happens to already be in an alliance of two with me."
"I am?" Tony asked.
"Shut up and get moving," Jasmine ordered. "We don't want these dolts to get a headstart on us."
Tony just shrugged as he was dragged away by Jasmine.
The next alliance didn't need to be formed, as it had never been broken once during the summer.
"Oh, Momma DJ, there's no way we can lose this," Greta exclaimed eagerly. "I mean, no one else has quite the skillset as Momma DJ."
"Less talk, more searching," Momma DJ ordered.
"Right, right, gotta focus on the task at hand," Greta obeyed.
In yet another part of the woods, Nicole was organizing her team.
"Montana, glad that we found you," she exclaimed as she and Annie caught up with Montana. "We were thinking of reforming the girls alliance and splitting the money between us."
"Sounds like fun to me, right," Montana exclaimed as she dropped down from a tree. "But wasn't Beatrice a part of your alliance?"
"Pfft, she decided that she'd rather work with Eliot," Nicole scoffed. "But we don't need her."
"Um, excuse me," Sooz said as she approached the girls. "If you have an opening in your alliance, I'm available."
"Ha," Nicole scoffed. "You have got to be—"
"Sure thing!" Annie interrupted.
Nicole just sighed in frustration as Sooz joined up with the girls. It wasn't long before she pulled out her phone and started talking incessantly.
Sophie was marching through the woods on her own. However, she soon ran into Edward.
"Aha, just the girl I was looking for," Edward exclaimed.
"Outta the way," Sophie barked as she pushed him aside.
"You're going to need an ally to find that case," Edward insisted. "You're at a big disadvantage right now. And let's face it, I'm the only person who would even consider working with you."
"Don't do it!" Ezmyralda exclaimed as she charged in front of the two. "Us women don't need the hand of man to guide us to victory. This sexist thinks that you'd be lost without him, but—"
"Shut. Up." Sophie snapped as she slammed Ezmyralda against a tree.
She then turned to Edward and said, "Fine, you can come with me, but don't say or do anything."
Back at the cabins, Bobby was sitting on his bed. He hadn't fully recovered since the last challenge and he was in no condition to run, but he had a computer on his lap which he was working at furiously.
"Let's see, I've hacked into the cameras so I can see everything," he muttered to himself. "Now time to bring online a few of my other inventions that I've left around the island."
He started pressing buttons and flipping switches as he cackled evilly.
(Later)
"Alright, campers," Chris's voice blared over the loudspeaker, "with the race under way I'll be giving you some clues to the whereabouts of the case. First clue, it's got a great view of the island."
"Okay, boys, divide and conquer," Lionel ordered his team. "It's gotta be in one of these tall trees."
Dirk, Brady, and Michael all split off in different directions as they gazed through the branches of the trees. Lionel could of sworn that he'd seen Parry swinging from branch to branch, but he rubbed his eyes and saw that it was gone.
"Must have just been a trick of the shadows," he told himself.
Jasmine and Tony at this time were making quick progress through the forest.
"C'mon, c'mon, faster, we can't slow down now," Jasmine ordered.
"Sorry, sorry," Tony apologized. "But I think I'm going pretty fast—"
"Don't think, just keep going," Jasmine commanded.
Meanwhile, the girls' team was rushing through the woods.
"There are some tall peaks up there," Annie said "I'd say that's a good place to look."
Montana and Annie were taking a strong lead, while Nicole trailed behind them. Sooz, however, wasn't even trying.
"This is exactly why I didn't want you with us," Nicole snapped. "You're slowing everyone down."
"Do you mind?" Sooz scoffed. "I'm kinda in the middle of a conversation here."
"No need to be mean," Montana told Nicole. "I don't mind taking things a little slower, right."
"Considering that she's the reason you even have a shot at the money, you should probably do what she says," Annie pointed out.
Over in the river, Ethan was wading in the water with Victoria following behind tentatively.
"Um, are you sure you know where we're going?" Victoria asked.
"No one really knows where they're going, man," Ethan exclaimed. "But this river has been around a lot longer than us, so I trust it knows where it's taking me."
"Right…of course," Victoria replied.
Eliot and Beatrice, meanwhile, we're just climbing up the top of Wawanakwa's tallest peak.
"This brings back some bad memories of our first challenge," Beatrice exclaimed.
"True, but where else can you find a better view?" Eliot asked. "Unless it's in a UFO…Oh my gosh, what if Chris gave it to the aliens? What if he's working with them?"
Beatrice shot him a smile and he seemed to understand her meaning.
"Right, let's not think about that," he replied.
Suddenly Beatrice spotted something at the top of the cliff.
"Looky, looky, I think I see it!" she exclaimed as she rushed forward.
Sure enough, the plain case was just lying in the grass at the top of the cliff.
"We did it, we did it!" Beatrice exclaimed as she lifted up the case. "We're going to be rich."
"Not if I have anything to say about that," Sophie growled as she ascended after them.
Beatrice and Eliot immediately paled as they saw Sophie. Beatrice tried to back up, but found that the cliff ended behind her.
"If you want to live hand over the case," Sophie commanded.
"Please don't hurt me!" Beatrice cried as she threw her hands up.
However, she also unintentionally let go of the case which meant that it was flung into the air before shooting down into the water. Sophie shot a murderous glare at Beatrice.
"Did…you…find…it?" Edward breathed as she strained to catch up with Sophie.
Sophie didn't say anything, instead she just dived into the water.
"Should we go after her?" Eliot asked.
"Are you kidding?" Beatrice replied. "I don't know what's scarier, the drop or Sophie."
(Later)
"Campers, I have news for you," Chris exclaimed. "The case has been moved. It is now somewhere very wet."
"That must me that someone's found it already," Nicole exclaimed. "You see, this is why we need to pick up the pace. This is five million dollars on the line, we can let someone else get it."
However, none of the girls were listening to Nicole's rant. Sooz, obviously, was preoccupied while the other two were busy scouting out the quickest way to the river.
"Oh, hey, I think I see someone over there," Annie exclaimed as she spotted a figure sitting on a rock.
She dropped down from the tree to investigate and saw that it was in fact Matthew.
"Hey, Matthew!" Annie exclaimed.
"Ah, Annie!" Matthew replied. "Sorry I didn't meet up with you sooner, you left so quick and I'm not exactly the most fit person here."
"Don't worry about it," Annie laughed. "Now that you're here, you can join our alliance.
"No, no, no," Nicole protested. "This is supposed to be a girls' alliance. And besides, cutting the prize money by four is already losing quite a bit, I'd rather not have a team of five."
"Okay then," Annie exclaimed. "All in favour of replacing Nicole with Matthew?"
"Aye," Sooz and Montana exclaimed.
"There you have it," Annie declared. "Matthew is in, Nicole is out."
"I can't believe this," Nicole gasped. "Fine, I'll find that case without you."
The case right now was floating through the river peacefully. It eventually came to a slow stop against Ethan's foot.
"Ah, thank you river, this is just what we were looking for," Ethan exclaimed.
"Oh wow, I seriously wasn't expecting this to work," Victoria said. "But I suppose that this was my plan after all."
Suddenly Sophie burst out from under water.
"Hand it over!" She ordered.
"Okay," Ethan said meekly.
"Ethan, no," Victoria cried out. "Give it to me."
Ethan obeyed and Victoria quickly sprinting out of the water.
"Hey, come back here!" Sophie roared as she barreled after Victoria.
"Ethan, catch!" Victoria exclaimed as she threw the case back to Ethan.
Ethan casually picked the case back up, but started to panic again when he saw Sophie charging right at him.
"Back to me!" Victoria shouted.
Ethan quickly tossed the case over Sophie's head and back towards Victoria. Before Victoria could grab it though, a hand reached out from the bushes and swiped the case out of the air.
"For me?" Jasmine grinned as she emerged. "You shouldn't have. Now let's get out of here, Tony."
"You're not getting away that easily!" Sophie exclaimed as she switched her target to them.
At another part of the river, Parry was looking in all directions for the case.
"Hm, no sign of it here," he muttered to himself. "Guess I'll keep moving."
He leapt back into the trees and continued to swing from branch to branch as he made his way along the river. Nicole happened to spot him in scowled in annoyance.
"Fine, if everyone's moving through the trees now I guess I'll join in," she declared. "How hard can it be?"
She jumped up to grab onto a branch which immediately snapped and fell to the ground.
"Come on, what am I doing wrong?" She snapped.
Back in the cabins, Bobby was monitoring several screens of the island.
"Where is that case now?" he grumbled. "It just here and then…aha!"
He spotted case in Jasmine's hands as she ran through the woods with Tony at her side.
"And I think I have just the thing for her," he chuckled to himself as he pushed another button.
As Jasmine ran she was suddenly tripped as a wire shot right in front of her ankles. She stumbled to the ground and the case left her reach.
"Now that's mine," Sophie exclaimed as she approached them.
However, neither girl got to the case before a robotic claw picked it up. The claw was attached to some floating orb.
"What on earth is that?" Tony exclaimed.
"It's the nerd," Sophie growled. "He must be controlling it."
"We have to go after it then!" Jasmine exclaimed.
"Oh no, you two aren't going anywhere," Sophie declared as she grabbed some vines.
In a matter of seconds she had Jasmine and Tony tied up to the trunk of the tree.
"You can't do this to me!" Jasmine cried. "You can do it to Tony, but me?"
(Later again)
"Attention campers," Chris exclaimed, "the case is now airborne!"
Several sets of eyes turned up to the sky. It wasn't easy to miss the orb floating through the air with the case dangling beneath it.
"Take it down!" Lionel commanded as his team began tossing rocks at the orb.
Soon everyone else was following suit and the robot became bombarded from several directions. It still showed no sign of stopping though.
"Pfft, amateurs," Momma DJ scoffed as she reached into her purse and pulled out a tomato.
She aimed it upwards and tossed it at the robotic orb. It connected directly with a splat. The orb came crashing down back into the woods.
"Now let's get that money!" Greta exclaimed.
Meanwhile, back at the cliffs, Beatrice and Eliot were taking another path in the direction of crash.
"We're still uphill," Eliot declared. "So we should have a good view of where it landed."
"Can you guys wait up?" Edward asked from behind.
Neither of them slowed down. Suddenly, something struck Edward in the forehead. He stumbled backwards and barely had time to look for where it had come from when another pinecone hit him. He was continually pelted until he tumbled right off the edge of the cliff.
"Ha, ha!" Ezmyralda exclaimed from the treetop. "Take that you oppressor!"
Spotting Ezmyralda, Eliot and Beatrice immediately doubled their pace.
"Hey, you can't abandon me like this!" Ezmyralda cried. "I demand that you take me with you. If you just leave me that's a form of oppression in itself."
Eliot and Beatrice were already out of earshot by the time she finished her speech.
Back at the river, Victoria had a new idea.
"I think it might be best if I deal with the source of these robo gizmos," she suggested. "They're only going to cause more problems if we let them. You can…"
She saw that Ethan was now floating in the river.
"Yes, do that," she declared.
(Later yet again)
"Seems like you're no closer to finding that case than when you started, "Chris laughed over the loudspeaker. "Your next clue: The case is somewhere dirty."
"Gents, I think we're going to have to change up our strategy a bit," Lionel told his team. "We're going to need to eliminate some of the competition if we want a shot at keep that case. So, here's what we're going to do…"
Annie and Montana meanwhile were still hopping from tree to tree. Matthew struggled to keep up with them. Sooz also wasn't keeping up, but she wasn't even trying.
"So…where do you think it landed now?" Matthew asked his team.
"Well, Chris said it landed somewhere dirty," Annie mused. "But that doesn't narrow it down too much."
"I remember their being a muddy little swamp in that direction, right," Montana suggested. "Could be worth a shot."
"Let's go!" Annie exclaimed.
"Hang on, Chad, I'm gonna have to hang up," Sooz said to her phone. "Well I want to keep talking but I've got to find a case full of five million dollars in some swamp…yes, Chad, that is more important that what classes I'm taking next year."
"I got it, I got the case!" Michael exclaimed as he rushed past the girls.
"Quick, after him!" Annie cried as she chased after the boy.
Michael couldn't keep ahead of the two girls, but he did manage to make it Molotov's cave.
"You want it? Go get it!" he exclaimed as he tossed the case into the cave.
"Nice try, but Molotov is long gone," Annie laughed as the four went into the cave.
"Now!" Michael cried.
Suddenly Dirk, Lionel, and Brady all pushed a giant boulder down from higher ground. The rock landed right in front of the entrance to the cave.
"Ha, that's four less girls we have to worry about," Lionel smirked.
"Uh, you know Matthew was there too," Brady pointed out.
"As I said, four less girls," Lionel repeated.
"We're going to let them out, right?" Dirk asked.
"Oh sure," Lionel assured. "Just as soon as we've won the money."
Inside the cave, the girls were starting to panic.
"Oh no, we're stuck now!" Montana exclaimed.
"And this isn't the case," Annie realized. "It's just an old cardboard box.
"'Kay, Chad, looks like I can talk a little longer," Sooz said. "Turns out some guys led into a bear's cave and dropped a boulder in front of the only way out…Nah, this kinda thing always happens."
Meanwhile, Parry had managed to make it to the swamp. He looked down into the ditch and saw that that the orb had landed in the mud and the case was still attached to it. Parry slid down the dirt and grabbed the case.
"That's mine!" Nicole exclaimed as she dived after him.
Parry moved out of the way just in time and Nicole only ended up getting splattered with mud. Parry clambered out of the ditch and began running in the direction of the main camp. However, he accidently ran right into Greta's stomach.
"Oh sorry about that, little guy," Greta exclaimed.
"Now hand over the case," Momma DJ ordered.
Parry started to back up, but realized that Nicole was coming at him from the other direction. Parry decided that the best option was to toss the case right up into a tree.
"Ah touché," Nicole grumbled as she wiped some mud from her face. "The tree can't support those two large ladies, and let's just say trees plain don't like me."
"That means that it's all mine," Parry said with a small grin.
(Later once more)
"Alrighty, campers, the case is now somewhere just out of reach," Chris declared. "If you don't see it, you'd better hurry, 'cause there are some people who are mighty close."
"Did you hear that?" Jasmine exclaimed. "People are getting close to that case and we're still stuck to a tree."
"Sorry," Tony said even though he hadn't really done anything.
"I thought you were strong," Jasmine pointed out. "Can't you break through these vines?"
"I could give it a shot," Tony said. "But first I was just wondering how you were planning on splitting the money. I mean fifty-fifty sounds fair to me."
Jasmine burst out laughing uncontrollably for the next couple of minutes.
"Ha, splitting, that's rich," she continued to laugh. "Now get me out of here."
Tony weakly tried to snap the vines.
"Nope, no good, guess we're stuck here," Tony said with a hint of smugness.
Over in the cave, the girls and Matthew were working on getting out.
"All together now," Montana instructed. "Push!"
The four of them leaned forward and pushed against the large rock blocking their way out.
"C'mon, c'mon," Montana continued. "Keep moving."
Slowly the boulder began to slide to the side.
"I think we can squeeze through now," Matthew exclaimed.
One after another the team managed to fit through the crack they had made. After they got outside, they quickly spotted a mud-splattered Nicole.
"Hello, Nicole," Annie said icily.
"Hello, traitors," Nicole replied. "You're just in time to see Parry get the money."
Nicole pointed up at the tree where Parry was climbing. Just above him was the case full of money.
"Come on, Parry, you can do it!" Montana cheered.
Parry was just reaching out to grab the case when a lasso shot out from another direction and pulled it away. Everyone in the vicinity turned to face where the rope had come from. They saw that Brady had swiped the case and was reeling it in now.
"Nice work, Brady," Lionel exclaimed. "And so long to the rest of you suckers."
"After them!" Annie exclaimed.
In a flurry of movement Parry, Sooz, Nicole, Annie, Montana, and Matthew all began scaling up to the higher ground.
"We better run," Dirk pointed out.
Momma DJ and Greta also tried to chase after the crowd, but they moved much slower.
Meanwhile, Beatrice and Eliot we're still making their way through the hills.
"I think I see something going on down there," Eliot pointed out as he squinted.
"You're right, looks like there's a lot of excitement happening," Beatrice agreed.
"Alright, outta the way!" Ezmyralda barked as she shoved the two aside. "That case belongs in the hands of a well-deserved female and not some sexist like you two!"
Suddenly a hand reached up from the edge of the cliff and grabbed onto Ezmyralda's leg.
"Ah, I'm being attacked, save me!" she cried out.
"This is for knocking me off the cliff," Edward exclaimed as he pulled himself up.
He then shoved Ezmyralda's ankle back off the cliff and she went flying into the water.
As she fell she cried out, "Seeeeeeexist!"
"Well, can I join you guys now?" Edward asked.
"Alright…but don't do anything evil," Beatrice said.
"Wouldn't dream of it," Edward promised.
As the team of four boys tried to escape, they soon realized that they were getting surrounded.
"Quick, over here!" Brady called.
The boys found an old catapult hidden behind some bushes and trees.
"It must have been from the trust challenge," Brady exclaimed.
"And I know just what to do with it," Lionel declared as he tossed the case into the catapult. "We fire this thing back at the main site and then we take the lead and grab it."
"Better do it quick," Dirk said. "I spy several others who want their hands on that money."
Lionel quickly pulled the lever on the catapult and launched the case all the way back to the Dock of Shame.
"Alright, time to go!" he exclaimed.
"Oh no, you are not getting that case!" Nicole yelled as she charged after the boys.
Annie, Parry, and Montana all took their favored mode of transport by the trees. Matthew ran as fast as his little legs could take him. Even Sooz had thrown away her phone so she could run faster.
"Oh no," Beatrice exclaimed as she arrived out of breath. "We'll never catch up now."
"We will if we take one of my secret passages," Eliot suggested.
"Secret passages?" Edward repeated. "That's ridiculous."
"Well, if you don't want to come, then don't," Eliot said as he revealed a door in a tree.
Eliot and Beatrice entered and shut the door behind them.
"What?" Edward exclaimed. "Where's that door?"
He felt around the tree for a while, but it just seemed like ordinary bark.
"Come on, open up!" he complained as he gave it a kick.
Suddenly the door swung open again.
"Aha, money here I come!" he exclaimed.
Momma DJ and Greta had finally made it to the catapult, but everyone else was long gone.
"Oh no, what do we do, Momma DJ, what do we do?" Greta exclaimed.
"Quit your panicking," Momma DJ ordered. "Now, this old catapult shouldn't be too hard to use. Let me tell you, Momma DJ has had her experience with catapults."
"Of course, how could I forget the great catapult convention of '89?" Greta exclaimed.
(Even later)
"Campers the case is right where it wants to be," Chris declared. "Now the only task that remains is to be the first person holding it."
"Ha ha, that case is so mine," Bobby declared from his bed. "As soon as I can get it in the water, my sharkbot will scoop it right up for me. Now, how am I going to keep the others busy…"
Victoria was leaning against the outside wall and listening to his every word.
"Sharkbot? That doesn't sound good," she murmured.
She shot a glance at the Dock of Shame. If she ran she probably could have been the first one to grab the case. However, she soon spotted a robotic fin circling in the water.
"No, if I make a stupid risk it'll only spell trouble for me," she declared. "I've got to stop these robots…somehow."
Back in the woods ten campers were all racing as fast as they could.
"Take this!" Lionel exclaimed as he kicked a large branch behind him.
This caused Sooz to stumble over it, but she ended up crashing down on Michael too. Parry bombarded his competition with pinecones whenever he could. Nicole leapt forward and grabbed onto Lionel's back.
"What the?" he exclaimed.
"Shut up and run!" she ordered.
Lionel had no choice but to obey as she clung on. As Mathew ran, he found that Dirk was pursuing after him.
"Aha, I got you!" Dirk exclaimed as he scooped up Matthew.
"You leave him alone!" Annie cried as she dropped down on Dirk.
Montana had taken the lead by now as she soared through the trees.
"Faster, she's pulling ahead!" Nicole ordered Lionel.
"There's a limit to how fast someone can run when they have someone else on their back," Lionel argued.
However, suddenly both of them were knocked to the ground as Lionel ran right into something large and metallic. Both looked up to see what looked like a giant robotic Tyrannosaurus Rex. The machine emitted what sounded like a blend of a roar and static.
"What is that?" Nicole cried.
"I bet I could tell you who's behind this with one guess," Lionel exclaimed.
Both of them ran in opposite directions as the machine creature swiped at them. Parry arrived in a nearby tree and paused in shock. The creature soon spotted him, but Parry acted fast. He swung himself upwards managed to land on the monster's head. He then slid down its back and kept running. Brady arrived next with Sooz and Michael following behind.
"Look," Nicole exclaimed. "This thing is too big to make its way through the trees. If we just get past it we're in the clear."
Nicole and Michael both ran by opposite sides of the sides of the monster. The monster's head swung left to right before deciding to go for Michael.
"Ah!" Michael cried out as he was left into the air. "Help!"
"Don't worry, Michael, I'll save you!" Brady exclaimed as he swung a stick at the creature's knee.
"Now's our chance to get by," Lionel exclaimed to Dirk who had just arrived with Matthew.
"Shouldn't we help out Michael and Brady?" Dirk asked.
"Sorry, but I'm not risking five million dollars to take on some robotic dinosaur. As Brady continued to attack the creature without effect, Sooz, Lionel, Dirk, and Matthew all snuck by the opposite direction.
Meanwhile, Greta had positioned herself inside the catapult.
"Alright, now this should take us right to where we want to be," Momma DJ said. "Now, I've tied a rope to the lever so I can get in and then cut it and send us both flying."
"Sounds good," Greta exclaimed. "This is going to be so awesome."
However, before Momma DJ could climb into the catapult, the rope snapped and Greta was sent flying. Momma DJ slapped her forehead in frustration.
At this point, the many racing campers were all arriving at the beach. Montana, Lionel, Nicole, Parry, Sooz, Matthew, Dirk, and Annie had all formed a large crowd that was barrelling forward. Beatrice, Edward, and Eliot all came out of a passage that was hidden in the sand. Everyone's eyes were focused on the case that was just lying on the dock.
"You're too late," Sophie exclaimed. "That case is mine."
As she made her way from a different direction, Lionel tried to pull ahead of her. She grabbed onto his neck and flung him into the sand.
"You are going down, you meanie!" Annie exclaimed as she charged at Sophie.
Sophie just slapped her aside. Parry tried to slide past her, but Sophie grabbed his hair and spun him around.
"Anyone else want to try me?" Sophie challenged menacingly.
"Um…can I appeal to your inner kindness?" Dirk asked.
"No," Sophie answered bluntly. "Now if you don't mind, I have five million dollars to win."
Sophie reached down and picked up the case. Everyone sighed in defeat as she was the first one to hold the case. However, there was something else holding onto the case. Sophie looked down in shock to see that a hand had reached out of the water and had grabbed the case at the same time as she had. The hand was revealed to belong to Ethan.
"Let. Go. Of. My. Case!" Sophie growled.
"Grab it!" Nicole exclaimed as everyone charged at Sophie.
Thirteen hands all struggled over the case.
"Incoming!" came a cry from the sky.
Everyone looked up to see Greta coming crashing down. She smashed right into the dock and sent everyone into the water.
"Hey, look, I found it!" She exclaimed as she tried to grab the case, only to find that the thirteen others hadn't let go.
"It's mine," Nicole growled.
"I was here first!" Sophie retorted.
"I deserve it most," Lionel argued.
Suddenly something burst out of the water. It was another giant robot; this one was in the shape of a shark.
From his controlling point, Bobby laughed, "Yes, now the case is mine!"
The shark opened its wide, sharp mouth before it moved in to take the prize. However, just before it could grab the case it began to hum and shut down.
"What!" Bobby cried. "What?"
"Looking for this?" Victoria exclaimed as she revealed an unplugged cord.
"Nooooooo!" Bobby cried in defeat.
"Well…that was weird," Annie noted as the shark sunk back into the water. "Now gimme that case!"
The group continued to struggle over the prize with no one emerging victoriously.
"Guys, guys, settle down," Chris exclaimed as he approached the campers.
"We can't settle down," Sooz pointed out. "This is five million dollars here."
"No," Chris said mischievously. "What you're fighting for is a case of shredded newspaper."
"What?" Nicole asked in sheer shock.
Dirk flipped the case open to reveal that Chris had spoken the truth. There was nothing inside but piles of black and white paper.
"But you said that there was no catch," Edward said. "You said that we'd get the money and that would be the end of our contract."
"And those things were all true went I said them," Chris said. "But after a meeting with the producers, we've decided that you guys are just too valuable to waste. So if the fourteen of you want to have a shot at winning the five million dollars then you'll have to participate in season 5!"
"You expect us to all of this all over again for a prize that should have already been won?" Nicole exclaimed incredulously.
"Yep," Chris answered. "Who's in?"
It didn't take long for the fourteen contestants to all agree. Not too much longer later, Bobby, Victoria, Momma DJ, Jasmine, Tony, Ezmyralda Michael, and Brady all showed up as well.
"No!" Jasmine cried. "My dreams have been ruined!"
"This will not stand!" Ezmyralda added. "If you don't let me participate you will be labeled a sexist!"
"Meh, I've already been labeled worse," Chris shrugged.
Confessional:
Dirk-Eeeeee, I'm so exciting to have another shot at this. I blew it kinda early this time, but next time I'm going to focus on really playing the game as well as making friends.
Montana-This should be fun, right. I had a blast this season and now I'll get to do it all over again.
Sophie-I said it before, I always get what I want. Next time I will be winning that prize.
Nicole-I came so close this time. Now I know all the tricks and nothing's gonna stop me from taking that case.
Greta-I can't believe I'm going to be in a season without Momma DJ! (She sobs uncontrollable.)
Bobby-How can Chris just kick me aside like this? I was the runner up this season; don't I deserve another shot at that money?
Victoria-Well it's too bad that I'm not participating, but at least now I can make bets on who will be winning who will be eliminated.
Michael-Maybe it's for the best that I don't participate. I mean look at what happened to Gwen: She lost her own relationship and then ruined someone else's.
(Conclusion)
"Now we're ready to leave behind Camp Wawanakwa," Chris exclaimed as he stood on the now broken Dock of Shame. "Next season will have more drama, more laughs, and more action. You don't want to miss Total…Drama…ReAction!"
Author's Note: Okay, that's the end of Total Drama Refresh. Hopefully Total Drama ReAction will be starting soon so be sure to look out for that. However, like I've mentioend before, I do get a little bored working with the same characters for a while. So I've decided that I'm also going to start another series with twenty new OCs called Total Drama Stranded. I'm hoping that this time I'll be able to balance both series as I work on both of them. Anyways, feel free to check that out too when it gets started. Thank you all, once again!
