Chapter 49: Run Away Carriages

Once again it was Blaineley's turn to give a recap to the audience.

Blaineley's commentary:

Last time on Camp Drama Showdown, bandits were running amuck in our town, and the Masked Stranger insisted he didn't want to be designated a bandit so that he could root them out. For which he managed to root out most of the bandits who were hiding about amongst the town people.

However, there was one bandit who managed to elude Timmy, a certain Edmund, and that ended up costing Jazmine, Megan and Jade along with Hiro who decided to take Newton's place as poor Newton in spite of his smarts, he wasn't able to outsmart Edmund for knocking him out of his hiding place.

So what kind of dirty tricks would Edmund try to pull off next? Find out here on Camp Drama Showdown!

End of commentary.

Indeed the remaining contestants were worried who'd be next on Edmund's hit list. Poor Newton felt ashamed that he was nearly voted off and that Hiro gave himself up for Newton's own safety.

"I must say your friend was quite generous in helping me out" said Newton to Danielle.

"Hiro meant a lot to me" sighed Danielle as she decided to head back to sleep.

Confessions in the Outhouse:

"I feel lonely without Hiro at my side" said Danielle.

"I can't help feel guilty of not doing enough to show of force against Edmund, if Lance and Ilana were here, I could show him a thing or two" said Newton.

"Poor Danielle, I'd feel the same if Phineas were voted off" said Isabella.

End of confessions.

After a few hours as day broke, Chef and Colonel Barnes got everyone up. Huey still hated the idea of being getting up by Chef to which Chef had to spray a hose filled with water at Huey to wake him up.

Confessions in the Outhouse:

"Ha, take that!" laughed Chef.

"Man, this sucks without Riley here, that Edmund better watch it" said Huey.

End of confessions.

As the contestants headed for the mess hall, Zak Monday was scooping out the potential contestants who'd be weak enough to be voted off next.

"So who do you think our targets should be?" asked Zak Monday to Edmund.

"I think I'll let you do the honors this time" laughed Edmund.

"Hmm, Ray Ray, Haley, Libby and still that Newton guy all seem like good candidates" laughed Zak Monday.

"We'll see what the challenge is when it approaches us" laughed Edmund.

As the contestants waited in line to get their food, Phineas didn't seem to like Edmund being behind him, likewise Ferb was nervous just being around Edmund.

Confessions in the Saloon:

"Man, that vampire boy creeps me out" said Phineas, "and I'm not just saying that because he is a vampire."

"I'd have to say he's up to something, but what is exactly what we need to know" said Ferb.

"I hope those two realize how ruthless that vampire kid is" said Huey as he noticed the nervousness of Phineas and Ferb.

End of confessions.

As Edmund and Zak Monday sat down in their typical table, Johnny along with Cleveland Jr. sat at their table to which Danielle joined them feeling lonely without Hiro similar how they felt about their loved ones being voted off.

"There must be something we can really do here" said Cleveland Jr., "that Edmund scares me."

"That vampire kid deserves to have garlic planted in all of his food" laughed Danielle.

"I say whoever gets to the final two, if he manages to go that path, we should defeat him" said Johnny.

"Agreed" said both Cleveland Jr. and Danielle.

After the contestants ate breakfast, they headed out to the open range where several robotic horses were there, along with Chris and Blaineley.

"Today's challenge is your run of the mill, classic Run Away Carriage Challenge that we have in store for the Old Wild West" laughed Chris.

"In each carriage that is being controlled by remote robotic horses, you will find a prize, one of those prizes includes immunity" added Blaineley.

"Correct, you'll each have your own robotic horse to ride on to catch up with those run away carriages" laughed Chris, "who are also heading off our own remake of the Grand Canyon gouge!"

"If none of the carriages are rescued, then you'll all lose" laughed Blaineley.

"So getty up partners and move it!" laughed Chris.

As the contestants got onto their robotic horses, Zak Monday who noticed Newton getting on his decided to mess up the robotic horse a bit by unscrewing some bolts behind the robotic horse's back unbeknownst to Newton. Zak Monday then got onto his robotic horse pretending to be innocent of his crimes. Chris fired his gun filled with blanks which signaled the contestants to give chase to the runaway carriages which were being controlled by the Xiaolin monks, Jessie, Buzz and Zerg.

"This is fun!" laughed Zerg who was happily controlling a carriage.

"You don't know the half of it" laughed Buzz.

It seemed like Cleveland Jr. was catching up to a carriage with June and Jenny not far behind him. The trio leaped onto the carriage and grabbed what was inside of it to which the robotic horses indeed stopped.

"Ha, this challenge is easy!" laughed Cleveland Jr.

But as the trio opened up the box inside, it was absolutely nothing inside the box at all.

"That Chris, we have to catch another carriage!" cried Jenny.

Indeed as the three tried to hurry it up on trying to catch another carriage, Newton was experiencing some difficulties with his robotic horse as it was coming apart, Newton tumbled over and ended up crashing into Joseph's robotic horse destroying it but Joseph himself was okay.

"My horse!" cried Joseph who couldn't believe what just happened.

"Someone must have sabotaged mine" said Newton as he noticed some of the parts of his robotic horse were missing.

As poor Newton and Joseph ended up giving an assessment of their situation, meanwhile, Edmund was catching up to a carriage that was on a runaway path with the two Zaks not far behind. Edmund ended up leaping onto the carriage to which the horses stopped with Edmund opening up the box inside revealing to be an immunity prize.

"Ha, looks like I won immunity!" laughed Edmund.

While Edmund obviously won immunity the others tried to catch up to the other runaway carriages. Ray Ray, along with Haley and Libby were on the tracks of another carriage that was nearing the cliffs.

"We're not going to make it!" cried Libby.

"Come on, we can make it!" shouted Haley.

As the trio were nearly approaching the carriage in question, Zak Monday who was still riding his horse decided to trip Libby to which she fell off her horse, along with doing the same with Ray Ray and Haley.

"Hey, that doesn't sound right!" cried Phineas who noticed it.

"Time to show that punk Zak Monday some old fashion Wild West justice" laughed Huey.

Huey joined up with Phineas, Ferb and Isabella who began to chase Zak Monday who was on the trial of another carriage that was running away. Zak Monday ended up leaping onto the carriage and opened up its box inside which the horses stopped revealing another immunity prize for Zak Monday.

"Ha, I won immunity like Edmund you loses!" laughed Zak Monday to which everyone groaned knowing they couldn't do a thing about it.

The remaining carriages that were indeed running away fell right off the cliffs which everyone else who was still on a horse couldn't be able to reach the carriages in time before they plunged down into the gouge itself.

"I think I know who the winners are, as for everyone else, time to vote for four more people off" laughed Chris.

About a few hours later, it was finally time for the camp fire ceremony. Typically enough the contestants who didn't receive a golden wrapped chocolate horseshoe were Newton, Cleveland Jr., Haley, Jenny, June, Ray Ray, and also Joseph and Libby.

"Newton, you fell off your horse and crashed into Joseph's leaving you two out of the game, Cleveland Jr., you came across an empty box on a carriage with Jenny and June" laughed Chris.

"Haley, Ray Ray and Libby, you all fell off your horses" said Blaineley.

"Zak Monday tripped us!" cried Libby who began to protest her presence on not having a golden wrapped chocolate horseshoe in her hands.

"Too bad" laughed Blaineley.

"Last golden wrapped chocolate horseshoes for the night goes to" said both Chris and Blaineley as they were waiting for the dramatic pause to take effect, "Cleveland Jr., Jenny, June and Joseph!"

"That Zak Monday will go down for this!" cried Libby as she and the others who were voted off were being escorted by Chef and Colonel Barnes onto the Carriage of Shame as it steered up to the camp fire.

"Don't worry, we'll get that Zak Monday for ya" said Huey who shouted back to Libby.

As the four got onto the Carriage of Shame, and as it took off into the sunset, the scene changes to Cotton who was meeting with Huey and the other contestants who remained in the game.

"We need to do something about that Zak Monday, he's Edmund's right-hand man, if he's gone, then Edmund will soon go next" said Cotton.

"Quite right, but we must come up with a strategy for that" said Ferb.

"Well, with Newton, Hiro and Jimmy and the other genius contestants gone, I say you're the one who can come up with a plan" said Timmy to Ferb.

"I'll see what I can do, that vampire boy is quite the crafty one indeed" said Ferb.

The remaining contestants and Cotton were indeed being spied upon by Chris who was in his private office watching them.

"Well, sounds like they're prepared to up the ante against Zak Monday, will they succeed? Will Ferb have the brains to defeat Edmund, or will Edmund outsmart him? Find out next time here on Camp Drama Showdown!" laughed Chris.
