Chapter 50: Derby Race
Once again it was Chris McLean's turn to give a recap to the audience.
Chris McLean's commentary:
Last time on Camp Drama Showdown, carriages were out of control, and there were no heroes except for our contestants to try to stop the run away carriages. Some thought they got the winning prize of immunity, others managed to obtain it quite easily, and yet still others fell off their horses or had some technical difficulties with their horses.
In the end, Newton, along with Libby, Ray Ray and Haley had to take ride home on the Carriage of Shame. So who'll be voted off next? Find out here on Camp Drama Showdown!
End of commentary.
Edmund wasn't pleased with Zak Monday as his partner-in-crime, but he didn't want to seem to give him any hints that he didn't like his presence.
"Why don't you want to take down June or Jenny now?" asked Zak Monday to Edmund.
"Look, I'd rather pick off the others first before I can go ahead with going after those two" continued Edmund, "Cleveland Jr. seems like a nice fitting opponent to go down next."
"Cleveland Jr., he's hardly a threat!" laughed Zak Monday, "I cannot believe someone who's 400-years-old is more afraid of someone fat like Cleveland Jr.!"
"Don't underestimate how he looks" continued Edmund, "he's determine to win this game."
"Whatever" said Zak Monday who didn't seem to like Edmund for not taking his advice.
Meanwhile the rest of the contestants who remained in the game were asleep, Ferb was up all night with Cotton reviewing plans on how to take down Zak Monday, Edmund's right-hand man.
"Do you think my work would do well against Monday?" asked Ferb to Cotton.
"How should the heck I know, I'm not a fortune telling ghost" replied Cotton.
"Fair enough" said Ferb as he packed up his plans.
As Ferb ended up hitting the hay with Cotton disappearing into the night, a certain Zak Monday who was on the prowl hoping to look for more targets for Edmund noticed Ferb's plans, Zak Monday immediately took out the plans and began to mess it up with a marker, then placed it right back where Ferb had left it. A few hours had passed at it was finally morning, the other contestants had no idea that Zak Monday had screwed up their plans, and Ferb nor Cotton were aware of it either.
"I found some of Ferb's secret plans" whispered Zak Monday to Edmund, "don't worry, I did a favor for you in wrecking it."
"It better work for your shake" replied Edmund.
As the contestants headed to the mess hall, Ferb was quite pleased with his plans, he had hoped his plans would succeed not knowing that Zak Monday had messed the plans up.
"I am so glad you're smart" said Phineas.
"Yea, we need that smarts to beat the pants out of Zak Monday and Edmund" added Johnny.
"Quite right, that vampire boy and his ally won't stand a chance against us" said Ferb.
Confessions in the Outhouse:
"I really hope those plans of his work" said Johnny referring about Ferb.
"We're all counting on you Ferb!" said Isabella.
"The boy better not screw up" said Cotton.
"I hope he gets Zak Monday good" said Huey.
End of confessions.
Zak Monday, however felt confident that he wasn't going to be voted off, but he didn't know how much he ruined Ferb's plans at all. Edmund still was quite annoyed with Zak Monday giving him other targets without his permission.
"Look, we need to come up with a way to get rid of Cleveland Jr." continued Edmund.
"Why Cleveland Jr., why not that crazy Test boy, June, Jenny or maybe that green haired kid Ferb?" asked Zak Monday.
"I've done the calculations and Cleveland Jr. is positioning himself stealthy to win" continued Edmund, "he has no real opponents or grudges against any other members unlike the other failed candidates like Rose, Danny, Rachel and a few others."
"Cleveland Jr. will lose this challenge, and he'll do it on his own like always" laughed Zak Monday who knew Cleveland Jr. was voted off Season Two.
"I do not care, I got that feeling about that kid" continued Edmund.
Confessions in the Saloon:
"Man, he won't listen to me!" cried Zak Monday who didn't seem to like Edmund as much.
"He's only good if he agrees with you on what is a good target" said Edmund.
End of confessions.
After the contestants had breakfast, they were led to a large racing course that was setup by members of the staff. There Chris and Blaineley were waiting for them along with the robotic horses.
"Welcome to the Derby challenge!" laughed Chris.
"It's no ordinary race" laughed Blaineley.
"Indeed you're correct, it's a sudden death race, meaning I'll be getting Chef, Colonel Barnes, along with those Xiaolin monks to throw obstacles at you as you race across the course, the first four who fail to cross the finish line first end up being voted off with two other contestants being voted off if they're in last place if they cross the finish line" laughed Chris.
"So there won't be any ceremonies?" asked Cleveland Jr.
"Not this time" laughed Blaineley.
As the contestants got on their robotic horses, Chris fired the gun filled with blanks, on the bleachers up on the stadium itself, there were cannons and catapults ready to launch whatever that was needed to be launched at the contestants below. Ferb was well in the lead with Edmund and Zak Monday not far behind.
"I hope this works" said Ferb.
Ferb then grabbed some oil that he had with him and began to spill it on the race course itself with Edmund and Zak Monday being right behind him.
Confessions in the Outhouse:
"That's something I'd have been behind, but not someone like Ferb could pull it off" laughed Edmund.
"Ha, I could have figured that out" said Zak Monday.
End of confessions.
But instead of getting Zak Monday or Edmund, it got poor Phineas whose robotic horse slipped right on the oil and crashed.
"Phineas!" cried Isabella to which she forced her horse to stop.
"What are you doing!" cried Huey.
"I have to save my Phineas, he needs my comfort!" cried Isabella.
Ferb then tried to use some magnets on the robotic horses as he spilled them on the race track, but Edmund and Zak Monday dodged them and it only managed to hit Abigail's horse which halted her horse right on the tracks.
"Oh that's just great!" cried Abigail as she couldn't get her horse going.
Next came Zak Saturday's horse who got his horse stuck as well because of the magnets.
"That's just great!" cried Zak Saturday who couldn't believe that he'd be voted off in the sudden death challenge.
"In coming!" cried Abigail as a large piano was literally catapulted in their direction.
But oddly enough, Johnny was able to outwit Ferb's devices, along with also Huey, Jenny and June whom were riding close with Cleveland Jr. as they were trying to catch up with Ferb, Edmund and Zak Monday.
"Time to kick this into high gear!" laughed Edmund.
Edmund indeed was able to pass Ferb, and also managed to pass the finish line before anyone else making him the one that would receive immunity, while Ferb came in second, Zak Monday third, Cleveland Jr. forth, Jenny fifth, June sixth, Huey and Danielle tied in seventh, Johnny eighth and Joseph who came in ninth.
"Last place crossing the finish line!" cried Joseph who was rather unhappy about it.
"Hey, consider yourself lucky since there were a few contestants who didn't pass the finish line at all.
"Wait, no I'm last!" cried Timmy whose horse did come in last place which was tenth.
"Correction, the Masked Stranger is in last place!" laughed Chris, "Looks like Edmund wins immunity!"
"So, will you share that immunity with me?" asked Zak Monday to Edmund.
Edmund thought for a moment of who'd be a good target to gain trust, certainly it wouldn't be Zak Monday, but instead he'd have to go with Timmy.
"I'd save the kid from being voted off" said Edmund to Chris referring to Timmy.
"Okay, that's an odd choice, but it's your choice, Timmy will share immunity with Edmund" said Chris.
"What, you stupid choice is the Masked Dork?" cried Zak Monday who was rather outraged by this treachery by Edmund.
Confessions in the Outhouse:
"$#*%*^(%$*$%^^%)*#$!" shouted Zak Monday whose words were obviously blurted out from the audience.
"Wow, me, sharing immunity with someone like Edmund, sounds suspicious, but hey beats being voted off" laughed Timmy.
"And now begins my plan" laughed Edmund.
End of confessions.
About a few hours it was finally time for those to be voted off, besides those who failed to cross the finish line were already counted out by default, among those who were casted the most votes was obviously Zak Monday, Joseph although came in next to last place received some votes, Ferb received the second amount of highest votes to be voted off.
"And the votes are in!" laughed Chris.
"Well, sounds like we won't be seeing you anymore here" laughed Blaineley to Zak Monday.
"This isn't fair, I deserve immunity, not the Masked Dork!" cried Zak Monday as he was being carried off by Chef, Colonel Barnes, Hank Hill and John Redcorn and thrown right onto the Carriage of Shame as the other four got onto it.
"Let's show him a little bit of payback for what he's done to us" laughed Abigail to Zak Saturday.
"Grim, take as long as you want to reach the studios" laughed Zak Saturday.
"Well, I can always record me shows on television" said Grim as he started to slowly head off the Carriage of Shame into the sunset.
Confessions in the Saloon:
"I didn't bother to save Zak Monday on the count of his annoyance to me, I'm not going to even bother using the Masked Stranger for advise either, but he's going to be easy pickings with Jenny and June" laughed Edmund, "once I finish off Cleveland Jr. first."
End of confessions.
Indeed, Cotton wasn't happy with Ferb and his schemes.
"How do you like that, you failed in stopping Edmund, but you didn't just take out Zak Monday, you took out your friends and your own brother!" cried Cotton.
"Look, I did not count on this to happen" continued Ferb.
"Well, we're going to have to make up another plan" continued Cotton.
"Indeed we are" sighed Ferb.
Chris indeed was watching the developments from the safety of his private office.
"Wow, five contestants all voted off, four under sudden death challenge mode! Tune in next time for even more exciting eliminations here on Camp Drama Showdown!" laughed Chris.
