Hello again my readers. Today this story is officially 60 days old, or two months old, however you wish to look at it. So, I'd like to thank all of you for continuing to read this story which I was unsure of publishing in the beginning. Enjoy chapter 7!
"Last time on Total Drama Avengeance!" the Host started as the picture changed to show the events of the previous episode as Chris described them.
"We had ourselves a good ol' wrastlin' challenge! Ha-ha!" (Shows some of the contestants walking down to the ring in their wrestling outfits)
"Some were good…" (Shows Eva performing Glam Slam on Zoey, then Scott performing a Spear on Justin)
"…others? Not so much." (Shows Beth running into a clothesline, then Ezekiel missing the Cobra only to get RKOed by Brick)
"Eva and the rest of the Old Team girls managed to give their team the lead after the girls' match…" (Shows the Old Team Girls celebrating in the ring after their match)
"…But the New Team guys managed to make a comeback for their team in the dudes' match!" (Shows Scott pinning Justin after landing a Spear on him)
"Noah and some of the others on the Old Team thought that it was Justin's showboating and posing that lost the match and the challenge for them…" (Shows the rest of the Old Team glaring at Justin after the challenge)
"…But Justin managed to convince enough of his teammates to vote out Beth instead." (Shows Justin getting the last action figure and Beth getting on the Copter of Shame)
Camera shows Chris still in his lounge chair.
"Will this most recent elimination bring some much needed drama to the Old Team? And speaking of the Old Team, can they get out of their slump in this challenge? Find out right now on…"
"Total…"
"Drama…"
"Avengeance!"
*Theme Song*
The Bottom Deck
It was 5 AM and once again…
DA DA-DA DA-DA DA-DA DA-DA
…woke everyone up with a start, except for Brick. The Cadet just rolled out of his cot and hopped into the shower.
"Ugh! Again wit dis?" Anne Maria asked, "I don't think my beauty sleep can take much more of deez 5 AM wake up calls."
"Too bad, Anne Maria," Zoey said, "As long as Brick is here, we're gonna be welcomed to a loud alarm at 5 in the morning."
The Jersey Girl looked at Zoey with a look of exasperation before she walked to the confessional.
"Wow," the once lonely redhead said to herself, "Scott's 'tude is already rubbing off on her."

Anne Maria - "Ugh! I can't stand that goodie-goodie redhead! But she did bring up a good point. As long as the Stiff is still here, I can't get my beauty sleep and wake up at 9 or 12 o'clock. I need to tell my new boy toy that we need to get rid of Brick, ASAP!" *In singsong* "Oh, Sco-ott!"
*Static*
Dawn - "I fear that bad things are about to befall my team." *She sighs as she looks up towards the sky* "Oh, Great Earth Mother, why can't your children live in peace?"

The Top Deck
It was about 7 AM and a few members of the Old Team were starting to awaken as the Sun shined in their eyes. Ezekiel was the first one to wake up, naturally. He would have been up already, but he stayed up longer than he usually did last night. He kept on thinking about his friend, Beth, being eliminated and how unfair it was that she had to leave while Justin got to stay. Zeke then starting thinking bad things about Justin, which started to get him angry. After turning into the animalistic being that he became in the cargo hold of the Total Drama Jumbo Jet in season three, the usually humble prairie boy became very angry, very easily. Now, he was about to go into one of those angry fits, that is until someone and her boyfriend walked behind him and put her hand on his shoulder.
"Hey Zeke," Bridgette said as she kept her hand on his shoulder. This, along with looking into her green eyes, seemed to calm him down, for the moment. "I know that you were devastated that Beth had to leave instead of Justin. I'm just as angry with Justin's tactics as you are."
"You have no idea," he mumbled under his breath.
"I'm sorry?" Bridgette asked.
"Oh, I didn't say anything, Bridge. Please continue," he replied to her confused look.
"Well," she continued, "I just wanted to let you know that you still have friends here. Me, Geoff, Tyler, Eva, and possibly Noah, are all here for you."
"That's right, dude," Geoff added on.
After the Party Guy's statement, Ezekiel's eyes widen in realization.
"Yeah, I guess so…Wait," he said suddenly, "If you two, Eva, Tyler, Beth, Noah, and I all voted fur Justin, then that would have bin a majority against him."
"He must have convinced some of the others to not vote for him, because I know that Geoff, Noah, and I voted for Justin. Right, Geoff?" she asked over her shoulder.
"Uh… for sure, babe!" her boyfriend replied with a nod and a nervous smile.
"And Beth and I both voted fur Justin too, eh," Zeke replied.
"Well five votes should've been at least a tie, if Beth got five votes too," Bridgette said after evaluation.
"But, why would Eva, Tyler, Katie, and Sadie vote for Beth over Justin?"
"Looks like we have a mystery on our hands," she said, while her boyfriend was sweating bullets behind her.
*Static*

Geoff - *He's fanning his sweat-covered face* "Oh man! Bridge and Zeke are gonna find out that I didn't vote for Beth! Then when they do, they'll both hate me, and Bridgette will break up with me. Then we won't party anymore, then we won't be able to party at our wedding, and we won't be able to teach our kids how to party, and then…"

The Bottom Deck
It was now 9 AM and the bus was still moving along the highway.
"I wonder where we're going for today's challenge," Zoey asked no one in particular.
Suddenly, the speakers in the bus started to pop before the Host's voice was heard from them.
"Well, I've got the answer to that question," Chris replied, "We're headed to Cleveland, Ohio!"
The Top Deck
"Awesome!" Tyler shouted, "Are we gonna have a challenge in the Quicken Loans Arena?"
"Nope," the Host answered.
"Oh…so it's gonna be at Progressive Field."
"Nuh uh."
"Then, it's at the Cleveland Browns Stadium."
"Negative."
Tyler thought about what other sports arenas there were in Cleveland, "The Wolstein Center?"
"No, Tyler. The challenge will not be in a sporting arena this time!"
"Aww," The Sport-o said dejectedly while the rest of the Old Team looked intrigued.
*Static*

Noah - "Finally, a challenge that's not held in a safe haven for barbarians. Maybe this time, I'll have a chance to show off my true skills. That'll be sure to impress Katie." *His eyes widen after he realizes what he just said* "Wait, I meant the team! The team!"
*Static*
The Bottom Deck
"So, if it's not in a sporting arena, then where are we gonna do the challenge?" Brick asked.
"It's a surprise," Chris said before chuckling.
This caused the members of the New Team to look at each other nervously.
"Am I the only one that didn't like the sound of that?" Mike asked his teammates, all of whom responded by shaking their heads. "Didn't think so."
"Relax. I'm not taking you anywhere scary…yet. Ha-ha! You'll find out where the challenge will be at once we get there in about 10 minutes!"
10 Minutes Later
The bus parked in the empty parking lot in front of the Cleveland Browns Stadium. When the 19 teens walked off of the bus and saw it, they were a little confused.
"I thought dat Chris said we wasn't havin' the challenge here!" Anne Maria protested.
"Maybe he's tricking us," Noah replied, "It wouldn't be the first time."
"As much fun as that would be, Noah, I was telling the truth," said the Host as he walked out of his trailer.
"Aww," Tyler said as he snapped his fingers.
"The reason that we parked in this parking lot is because this is the closest empty parking lot to the place where your fourth challenge will take place."
"Exactly how far is this place from here?" Noah asked.
"Not too far. Only a couple blocks down this street. Alright, kiddies! We're using the Buddy System, so pick your partners to walk with."
The contestants looked at Chris like he had lost his mind.
"Do we look like little kids?" Eva asked rhetorically.
"Just do it. I don't want to risk being sued if one of you gets lost! Oh, wait! There has to be two groups of three and two groups of two in the New Team. Also since there are 9 of you Old Teamers, there needs to be one group of three and three groups of two. Alright, buddy up!"
*Static*
Confession Cam
Noah - "Something in my mind told me that this was some sort of trick, but I went along with it. I needed to speak to my alliance in private."
*Static*
On the Old Team, Bridgette partnered with Geoff, naturally, and Noah immediately grabbed Katie and Sadie, even though Sadie wanted to be with Justin. Tyler wrapped his arm around Ezekiel's shoulder, so this left Justin with Eva.
On the New Team, both couples (Mike/Zoey and Dakota/Sam) paired up. Mike and Zoey were half-expecting Anne Maria to join them and make up one of the groups of three, but she grabbed Scott who was also grabbed by Staci. This caused a bit of a stare down between the two females with a nervous schemer in the middle. This left Brick, B, and Dawn to be the other group of three.
"Alright," Chris said, "Now that all of the groups are settled, lets walk! Follow me kiddies!"
"I hate it when he calls us that," Eva mumbled.
During the Walk
Noah walked in between the Twins as they walked behind everyone else.
"Say, girls?" Noah started.
"Yes, Noah," they replied at the same time.
"I was thinking about the vote last night, and I was just wondering who you two voted for."
Katie and Sadie both bit their lips because they thought that Noah would be mad that they didn't vote for Justin.
"Ooh! I voted for Tyler," Katie said, "I'm sorry, Noah! I didn't want Justin to go before he became Sadie's boyfriend! Please don't be mad!"
Noah wasn't mad. In fact he was smiling at Katie. "I'm not mad Katie, even though I would have rather had Justin go."
"You're really not mad?" Sadie asked.
"Not at all. In fact, I'll be happy to help you court Justin into becoming your boyfriend, Sadie."
Katie and Sadie gasped and asked, "Really," to which Noah replied by nodding his head, to which they both replied with a gripping hug and an "EEEEEEEE!"
Meanwhile, in the next group, Tyler and Ezekiel were walking quietly until the prairie boy asked Tyler, "Who did you vote fur last night? If you don't mind my asking."
"Huh? Oh, I uh… voted for Beth," Tyler answered reluctantly.
"What? How could you vote fur Beth over Justin, eh?"
"Well, before we voted, Justin came up to me and asked me to vote for Beth. Then I asked him, 'why should I?' Then he said, 'Because she didn't get any points for the team.' Then I said, 'Ok.'"
Ezekiel looked at Tyler for a moment to see if he was going to continue. "That's it," he asked Tyler.
"Yeah… sorry, Zeke. I didn't know that you and Beth were that close of friends."
The Homeschooled teen sighed and said, "No, it's alright, dude. I don't really blame you fur voting fur Beth. I just wish she could have stayed instead of that jerk, eh."
"Well, if you want, I can vote for him if we lose this challenge. Would that be alright?"
Ezekiel smirked and said, "That would be great, buddy!"
"Alright, dude," Tyler said with a smile, "You got a deal!"
Meanwhile, in front of them, the blonde couple held hands while they walked, the same way that couples usually walk together, to publicly show that they are a couple. They were peacefully quiet until Bridgette started talking to her boyfriend.
"So Tyler voted for Beth too. Well, that makes two people that we know for sure voted for Beth. There has to be at least three more people who voted for her."
"Umm…Bridgette," Geoff said.
"Yes, Geoff?"
"Don't you think you're getting a little carried away with this whole, 'Who didn't vote for Justin' thing?"
Bridgette looked down to the ground and thought about it a bit. She then looked up at her boyfriend's smiling face. She sighed and said, "You're right. It's not like me finding out who didn't vote for Justin is going to get rid of him now."
"Exactly! Just let what happened go, babe. You'll be much happier if you do."
The Surfer Girl nodded and then hugged Geoff. "Thanks, Geoff. You always know what to say to me."
While they hugged, the two groups that were walking behind them, walked past the blonde couple.
"No prob, Bridge," Geoff replied, "And since we're being so happy and copasetic, I feel like I can finally tell you that I voted for Beth."
Geoff didn't see it, but Bridgette's face was full of shock.

Geoff - *Has red marks on both sides of his face and his hair is messed up a bit under his tattered cowboy hat* "Worst…timing…ever."
*Static*
Meanwhile, the front group of the Old Team walked side-by-side in silence. As you probably already know, Justin and Eva were probably two of the most silent contestants in all of Total Drama's seasons (Not as silent as B, of course). These two usually let their actions do the talking, and that was the case during this walk as well. The silent group stayed that way until they heard some loud smacking.
"What was that?" Justin asked.
"How the heck should I know?" Eva replied in a grumbling fashion.
"Are you still angry at me for losing the last challenge?"
"Yes, yes I am. You are very lucky that I decided that Beth was more useless than you were in that challenge, or else you would have been on that helicopter off this show!"
"And I am entirely grateful that you didn't vote for me, Eva. In fact, I was even thinking that you and I can form a small alliance. What do you say?"
"I say, you are the dumbest person I've met, if you think that I'll join an alliance with you."
After that, this group went back to being silent.
*Static*
Confession Cam
Justin - "I know that sounded a tiny bit desperate, but I have every right to be desperate! I was almost voted out last challenge, and the only person that is close to being considered a friend by me was eliminated in the previous challenge. I need allies, and I need them fast!"
*Static*
Ahead of the silent group, the tailing group of the New Team was walking hand-in-hand like the couple they were. As they walked, Zoey and Mike watched the trio that was right in front of them, which consisted of Scott, Anne Maria, and Staci.
"You know," Zoey whispered to Mike's ear, "I slightly doubt that Anne Maria and Scott are actually dating."
"Why do you say that," he whispered back.
"It just seems like it came out of nowhere. I mean, a few days ago we were still fighting over you, and now she's all over Scott."
"Maybe she finally realized that she couldn't break us up, so she moved on."
Zoey thought about it for a bit before saying, "Maybe…"
Meanwhile, the aforementioned trio walked side-by-side-by-side down the sidewalk behind the first two groups and the hosts. As they walked, Staci went on and on about her relatives and their accomplishments. However, Scott and Anne Maria were trying to ignore her by covering their ears with their hands.
*Static*

Anne Maria and Scott - Scott - "Why did you bring me in here with you again?"
Anne Maria - "So we can discuss who we want ta vote out next with our alliance without da othas hearin'."
Scott - "Ok…Well I was set on eliminating Beverly the next time we lost, but now…"
Anne Maria - "You wanna get rid of Ms. Chattabox."
Scott - "Yeah! She started giving me a headache a minute into that walk!"
Anne Maria - "Wow! I was thinking da exact same thing! We are so perfect for each otha!" *She hugs him*
Scott - *He rubs his hands together like a typical evil person* "Yeah, we are the perfect alliance members!"
Anne Maria - *She looks at the camera with a look that said, "This guy just doesn't get it"* "Yeah, dat's what I meant…"
*Static*
The second couple of the New Team walked in front of the previous trio. Sam and Dakota walked with each other, but they didn't really acknowledge each other. They were too busy concentrating on their devices to actually have a conversation. As for the group in front of them (consisting of B, Dawn, and Brick), they had no such devices to give their total attention to, so they did make conversation. Well, two of them did with Dawn interpreting for B every so often.
"So, Brick," Dawn started, "I never got a chance to ask you how you were after Jo got eliminated."
"Oh, well…I was a little sad to see her go, but that won't stop me from trying my best in this competition," Brick responded.
"I see…So, all you care about in this competition is winning?"
"Negative, ma'am. I'm also here to test my strength and redeem myself from my failures last season."
"I see…So, none of your objectives include making friends or finding a significant other?"
"Oh, yes. Of course they do. I'm always willing to make friends, in fact I've made a few last season and some new ones this season. As for a significant other," the Cadet chuckled before continuing on, "As a single young gentleman, I would be very willing to court an attractive young woman. After all, every strong man should have an equally strong woman standing next to him."
"Hmm…I'm sure that Jo will fit that spot very well," the Moonchild replied.
"Yes, I bet she wi- Wait! You think I'm interested in dating Jo?"
"Yes, very much so. I can see that both of your auras are great matches for each other. Also, without reading your auras, it is quite obvious that when you two compete against each other that you are actually testing each other, subconsciously, to see if you two are truly compatible."
At this point, Brick was staring at Dawn with an incredulous look as B simply nodded in agreement.
"Lastly," Dawn continued, "She fulfills your need to be dominated, while you fulfill her need to be cared for outside of her family."
Brick gasped and asked, "She told you that she wants to be cared for?"
"No, I read that in her aura, along with the fact that she's very secretive about wanting to be cared for."
"Wow! I never would have guessed it." Brick paused a bit before asking, "Since we're speaking about finding significant others, have you been looking for one, Dawn?"
"No, I have not," she answered, "But I have a feeling that he and I will find each other this season, sooner or later."
"Cool! How about you, B?"
B tapped his chin in thought and then opened his mouth to speak, but he was interrupted by Chris.
"We're here!"
All of the contestants stopped having their current conversations, or lack thereof, to look over at their destination.
"What is this place?" Dakota asked as she looked up from her cell phone, "It looks like a glass pyramid. It would be so cool if I had one of those!"
"Oh, great. Another Egyptian challenge. I still have nightmares about being chased by Mummy-zekiel." Noah muttered while pointing at the prairie boy.
Ezekiel chuckled and said, "Soory aboot that, but it was kinda fun being a mummy for a few minutes, eh."
"No, no, no!" the Host shouted. "Haven't you people ever seen the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame?"
"This seems more like Trent's kind of thing," Noah replied.
"Don't you dare mutter the name of my fellow Drama Brother after what you did to him, you car-dropper!" Justin partially yelled at Noah.
Noah snarled at Justin as they got in each other faces. However, a clearing of the Host's throat stopped their argument in its tracks.
"As much as I'd love to let you two continue, as teenage reality drama makes for high ratings, I still have yet to announce what the challenge is!"
Everyone calmed down in order to hear Chris explain the challenge.
"AS I was saying, this building behind me is the famed Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a museum that honors the history of the rock 'n roll genre of music. Also, as its name implies, it is a hall of fame which includes many famous musicians, bands, artists, etc. Inductees include famous names such as Michael Jackson, Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Elvis Presley, James Brown, The Beatles, and many others."

Noah - "Pfft! Call me when people like Bach and Beethoven get inducted in this place."
*Static*
"Now that you know the history behind this building, here's your challenge! This challenge is a two-parter, but before I tell you the actual parts of the challenge, let me tell you why I really made you guys pair up."
All of the contestants looked a bit nervous to find out why they were forced to pair up, since the "Buddy System" reason was a cover.
"The teammates that you are paired up with are gonna be your bandmates."
Many contestants were relieved to hear that, although some weren't.
"You mean I have to be in a band with her?" Justin asked as he pointed to Eva.
"You mean I have to be in a band with him?" Eva asked as she pointed to Justin.
"Yep, however your group mates aren't your only bandmates. Both teams have four groups of two or three people. Each group needs to combine themselves with another group within their team to create two bands per team. However, the bands can only have 5 people in it. No 4 or 6 person groups!"
Every person in each group looked at another group to see who they should combine with. Ultimately, this created some chaos in the large group of remaining contestants, but in the end the resulting bands on each team was this:
Old Team Band 1: Bridgette, Geoff, Tyler, Ezekiel
Old Team Band 2: Justin, Eva, Sadie, Katie, Noah
New Team Band 1: Scott, Anne Maria, Staci, Mike, Zoey
New Team Band 2: Dawn, B, Brick, Dakota, Sam

Justin - "-to be kidding."

Mike - "I am, once again, on a-"

Zoey - "-team with Anne Maria and-"
*Static*
Anne Maria - "-Scott is da most a girl can ask for! I can't wait ta-"
*Static*
Scott -"-get away from her annoying voice. Staci's voice makes me want to lose on purpose to get her eliminated, which is exactly what I'm gonna do. Heh-heh-heh!"
*Static*
"Alright," Chris continued, "now that the bands are settled, if you would look to my left, you will see 4 racks of random clothes. Each of you must pick some rockin' clothes for yourself and change into them inside the portable changing rooms next to the clothes racks. Once the whole band has changed, Chef Hatchet and I will rate how compatible the outfits are within the band on a scale of 1 to 10. Whichever band has the highest score will give their whole team a bonus 10,000 points going into the second part of the challenge, which I will explain after the first part is over. Any questions?"
Ezekiel raised his hand. Surprisingly Chris let him ask his question.
"Yes, Ezekiel?"
"Umm… you said that each band had to have 5 people, eh?" he asked
"That is correct!" the host responded.
"Well, Tyler, Bridgette, Geoff, and I is only a band of 4 people."
"Correct once again, which is why your band will have today's Total Drama Cameo Contestant!"
"Total Drama Cameo Contestant?" many of the current contestants asked.
"Yep. You see, we had some past contestants make cameos last season, and the viewers responded very positively to seeing their favorite originals making cameos throughout the season. So, we at Total Drama decided to take these cameos up a notch, by letting them actually compete alongside with the current contestants!"
This was brought as a shock to every contestant, but there was one question on their minds.
"So, who's doing the cameo?" Staci asked.
"I am," said a voice that came from inside one of the portable changing rooms.
"Is that…?" Bridgette partially asked before the past contestant opened the door and revealed themselves.
"Why, yes. Yes it is!"
The Production Booth
Chris pauses the video of the episode as the camera pans out to show him doing so. He turns around in his chair to address the camera.
"Who is the Total Drama Cameo Contestant? Will he or she help or hurt Bridgette, Geoff, Tyler, and Ezekiel's chances of helping their team? And what is the second part of today's challenge? Find out when we come back to..."
"Total!"
"Drama!"
"Avengeance!"
Yes, I know. The chapter was very short compared to past chapters. But don't fret readers, chapter 8 will make up for it. Another thing, if you guys noticed on fanfiction, there's this new image manager so writers can create covers for their stories. I think it's pretty cool, and I'd love to have a cover for this story. Only thing is that I'm not much of an artist, so if any of you guys have an idea for a cover and would like to make one for me, feel free to. You can sent it to me via private message. Whichever one I pick will become the official cover for Total Drama Avengeance: Old Losers vs. New Losers and can have an Original Character (OC) make a cameo in the story. Speaking of cameos, who do you guys think is the first Total Drama Cameo Contestant? Answer in your reviews. Also, I'll put up a poll of past contestants and you guys can vote on who you would like to see be a Cameo Contestant in a future challenge. Alright, that's all for chapter 7. Stay tuned for chapter 8 in 10 more days! Peace out!
