Chris is standing in front of a battleground talking to the camera.
Last time on Total Drama Virtual……
The contestants partied down for an entire day. Some kissed, some danced, and some talked about lamas. In the end, Cody and Trent were the ones saying Sayonara to Total Drama Virtual. What will happen this week on:
Total!
Drama!
Virtual!
"What sort of sick, twisted joke is Chris playing this time?"Noah thought.
Noah had woken up standing in a line with some of the other contestants. He was wearing a shirt and pants in a camo print with a huge helmet on his head. He caught the other contestants' eyes as they also looked around in confusion. "Do you know what's going on?" he mouthed to Heather. She ignored him. He rolled his eyes at her disdainful attitude.
"She wasn't all high and mighty the other day!" he thought with a smirk.
"Bookworm!" barked a large black man. "What are you smiling about?"
"Oh, great. To top all of this off, Chef had to appear."
"Nothing, sir!" Noah replied in a sing-song voice.
"Are you giving me lip, Bookworm?"
"No, sir!" Noah replied.
"That's right! You're not!" Chef started to pace. "You are all fighting for the Water Country! You must defeat the Fire Country!" He gestured behind him vaguely to a fort that was made of red bricks. "Use all the weapons in your artillery to kill those Fire Country bastards! Courtney is your priority because she is the Fire Country's captain. Noah is your captain. Oh, and Chris turned the pain filter up so you won't be hurt as much when you die. " Chef disappeared leaving the Fire Country army alone in the fort.
Noah checked to see who was on his team. Bridgette, Heather, Sadie, Duncan, Jacob, Lindsay, Katie, and Pinkie stared at him.
"Shall we go look for the artillery then?" he suggested.
Over at the Fire Country fort, Courtney was ordering her teammates around.
"Ezekiel and DJ, since you two will be the most useless in the fighting, I need you two to go through this room and give us all good weapons."
"Hey! I take offense to that, eh!" Ezekiel glared at Courtney.
"Well, I'm just telling the truth."
"And why should I listen to you?" Ezekiel challenged her.
"I'm your captain and I am also a-"
All of her teammates interrupted her and said what she was going to say. "CIT! We know."
Courtney decided to let Ezekiel's comment slide. "Well, here's my plan…"
The Confessional: Post-Challenge Recording
Ezekiel: While I was originally opposed to going through the artillery, it was actually a pretty cool job. There was some awesome stuff in there, eh. Chris hadn't really limited the weapons to any sort of theme. I found a sword, a cannon, some nunchucks, a chainsaw, and a flamethrower!
The Water Country team had found the artillery quite easily. While the fort looked like a large castle from the outside, on the inside the design was quite simple. There were two floors. The top floor was open to the sky and the bottom floor was the artillery.
"Oooh! A grenade launcher," squealed Sadie, "What does that do, Katie?"
"I don't know, Sadie," Katie replied.
Noah slapped Sadie's hand away from the trigger. "Don't touch that! Unless you know what something is, don't put your hand near the trigger!"
Sadie giggled. "Sorry, Noah."
Noah sighed and looked around at his teammates. They were attempting to search through the artillery room to find good weapons. However, the room was so filled with weapons that it was a daunting task. Thankfully, the weapons were all labeled.
"Ezekiel!" Courtney called down to the prairie boy who was hidden behind all the weapons. "Do you have any more weapons for us?"
Ezekiel poked his head out of a gap in the pile. "I've got a few more grenades. Do you guys want a bazooka?"
Courtney yelled to the people upstairs. "Do you want a bazooka, Izzy?"
If the Water Country had seen Izzy's psychotic grin, they would have surrendered right then and there. "Explosivo likes bazookas!" She pantomimed using one and created her own sound effects. "Boom, boom!"
"I think that's a yes," Courtney told Ezekiel. "Izzy, are you almost ready to go?"
"Explosivo wants bazooka!"
Noah was having a strategy meeting with all of his teammates. "Okay, now that we have some weapons, let's get them before they attack us! Pinkie, Katie, Jacob, and Sadie will go and attack them. Use the machine guns and the bazookas we found. Heather, Bridgette, Lindsay and I will stay here and protect the fort."
"Hey, boss," Duncan interjected. "You didn't mention me."
"I have a special job for you."
About five minutes later, the Water Country fort was in chaos. Izzy was standing outside, trying to kill people on top of the fort. As most of the Water Country team members milled around like scared mice, Noah was yelling at them. "Calm down! Are you guys idiots? All you have to do is throw a grenade at her and she'll die!"
Across the battlefield, Courtney smirked as she watched Izzy. She had counted on the few extra seconds of time that Izzy's scare factor would give them. The Water Country team seemed paralyzed by fear of the psycho redhead. If Izzy could just kill a few of the enemy team's members, she would have accomplished her mission.
While Courtney was gloating over her plan, Noah grabbed a grenade and launched it over the walls. Izzy burst into bloody pieces, which promptly disappeared.
The explosion shocked the rest of the Water Country team into a calmer state of mind. Noah counted his teammates to make sure nobody was dead and turned his most angry expression on them. "Now, you need to listen to me, or we will lose this. Capiche?" Everyone nodded, a little afraid of Noah. "I'm changing the plan. We're going to send Lindsay on a kamikaze mission."
Duncan saw the explosion in front of the Water Country fort as he slunk across the battlefield. He remembered Noah's words to him.
Earlier
Noah took Duncan aside and started to explain his plan. "Go to the Fire Country and tell them you're turning traitor. Gain their trust. Tell them our plan. If they don't attack first, I'm going to send the group I picked to attack them. If they do, then I'm sending Lindsay on a kamikaze mission."
Duncan smiled confidently. "Can do, boss."
Duncan sneaked around to the back of the fort. He looked up at the top of the walls and saw Courtney.
"Courtney! Pssst, Courtney!"
Courtney whirled around and started to shoot her machine gun at Duncan. She missed by a lot because he threw himself to the side at the sight of her gun.
"Courtney!" He started to run to avoid her bullets. "I'm here to help you! I want to help!"
Courtney stopped shooting and called Harold over. "Go out there and bring him in. Take any weapons he has."
Harold started to question her. "Are you sure that's a good id-"
Courtney cut him off. "Just do it!"
Harold followed her orders and went outside. He took Duncan's machine gun and led Duncan inside. Courtney frowned at him. "What do you want?"
"I'm turning traitor. I want us to lose so we can vote off Noah. He's just too annoying. He acts all high and mighty and tries to boss us all around. I can arrange for him to get voted off if we lose."
Courtney looked at him, interested. "And what's in it for us?"
"I'll give you information on his plans right now."
Courtney considered what he was suggesting for a minute and then nodded. "Deal. Start talking."
"He's sending Lindsay on a kamikaze mission."
Courtney's eyebrows rose. "And why would he do that? It's a waste of a teammate."
Duncan scoffed. "Lindsay is dead weight. She's so dumb, she could accidentally blow us all up."
Eva rushed towards Courtney. "Lindsay's coming towards us!"
Courtney smiled. "Thanks for the info, Duncan."
He smiled back. "Anytime." He grabbed a grenade out of a secret compartment in his pants and tossed it towards Courtney. He beat a hasty retreat and managed to get out of the fort safely. He looked behind him to check if anyone was following him. Eva was charging after him with a flamethrower in her hands.
"Oh, shit!" Duncan ran as fast as his legs would take him.
"Good news, Noah!" Bridgette called to him. "I see Duncan!"
"Great," Noah said shortly.
"There's bad new though," she continued. "Eva's chasing after him with a flamethrower."
Noah quickly sprang into action, issuing orders. "Heather, Jacob, act as snipers and try to hit Eva! Pinkie, open the doors so that Duncan can get in."
Everyone moved fast, following his instructions. Heather and Jacob sat at the front of the fort, waiting for Eva to get close enough to hit.
"Gotta get to the fort!" Duncan thought.
"I'm going to kill you!" roared Eva. A bullet whizzed past Duncan's face.
Duncan started to pray as he ran for his life. "Please, please, please let me make it to the fort!"
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Lindsay exploded the bomb on her chest and blew a hole in the wall of the Fire Country fort.
Heather was growing annoyed as she kept missing. "Forget this! I'll never hit her. She just moves too fast," Heather thought in frustration.
Heather grabbed a grenade and waited for Eva to get within throwing distance. Heather hurled the grenade at Eva and hit her dead on. However, the explosion nearly engulfed Duncan.
Noah looked at Heather in disbelief. "Why did you do that?"
"What? It worked!"
Noah face-palmed. "Forget it. I guess you're an imbecile, like the rest of them." He turned to Jacob. "Could you go and get Duncan?"

Heather: I can't believe he compared me to the rest of these cretins! Wait… Does that mean he thought I was smarter before I did that? (She thinks for a moment.) Whatever. It's not like I care.
________________________
Noah: At that point in the game, I thought it couldn't get any worse. Boy, was I wrong!
________________________
Courtney: I can't believe I let myself be tricked like that!
________________________
Eva: I don't know what happened. One second I was chasing Duncan and the next I was standing next to Izzy, Lindsay, and Chris.
Ezekiel gasped as he found something amazing hidden under all of the weapons. He worked quickly to dig it out, being careful to not accidentally detonate any grenades. When he was done he looked at what he had unearthed.
"Wow. That's pretty awesome, eh," he said while looking at the plane in front of him.
Duncan had found a pair of binoculars and was watching the Fire Country fort when he saw them driving. "Shoot. Noah!"
Noah hurried over to him. "What?'
"They've got a plane."
Noah's look of shock turned to a smirk. "But if they've got a plane…"
Duncan caught his drift and finished his sentence. "We've got a plane too."
With everyone helping to dig the plane out, the Water Country team made quick work of the pile blocking the plane from view. However, they still needed to get it out of the artillery room.
"Let's blow a hole in the wall!" Duncan looked kind of excited.
"That's not exactly a good idea," replied Noah. "How do you think the Water Country got theirs out?"
Heather looked at Noah with a smirk. "Lindsay blew a hole in their wall."
"Fine. We'll blow a hole in the wall," Noah decided, reluctantly. He could have sworn he heard a 'yay' from Duncan as the delinquent ran to find a grenade to use. "Can any of you pilot a plane?" Pinkie raised her hand slowly. "Good. The rest of you, go up top and watch the enemy."
Ezekiel turned the plane towards the Water Country fort. He had flown the plane around the fort so he could come from behind. He saw most of the enemy walk onto the top of the fort. Both he and Gwen smiled as they saw them. "They're like sitting ducks," commented Gwen. She started to drop bombs on them.
Noah's ears perked up as he heard sounds of the carnage above. Heather rushed into the artillery, gasping for breath. "Bombing…. Everyone's dead…."
"Found it!" Duncan pulled the pin on the grenade and tossed it at the wall. After the explosion, Noah pierced Duncan with a cold glare. "Next time, please don't toss grenades in the artillery without asking. I don't know if I have to spell it out for you but there are other explosives in here. You could have just blown us all up."
As Katie, Sadie, Bridgette, and Jacob materialized, they saw Lindsay, Izzy, Courtney, Eva, and Chris engrossed watching a TV screen. The four looked and saw the screen had a video of each of the contestants. Chris glanced behind him. "Wow. Gwen did some real damage there."
"Watch out, Ezekiel!" Courtney shrieked.
Pinkie smiled evilly as she piloted the plane towards the Fire Country plane. "You ready, Duncan?" she asked.
In answer, the delinquent got ready to drop the bombs on the enemy plane.
Ezekiel and Gwen were gloating over their victory when Gwen heard a plane fly over them. She stiffened. "Do you hear a…" She was cut off as she, Ezekiel, and the plane burst fiery pieces.
"Good job!" Noah's voice crackled in their headsets.
Pinkie jumped at the sudden voice in her headset. "Noah? How are you talking to us?"
"I found a radio. Anyway, go towards their fort and cause as much damage as possible."
Duncan cackled. "Will do, boss."
Leshawna, Harold, and Justin were waiting on top of the fort for the Water Country plane to get within shooting range. The three pointed their machine guns at the plane.
The Confessional: Even More Post-Game Recordings
Justin: I officially now have useless knowledge on how to shoot a machine gun.
________________________
Harold: All my video gaming experience became useful in this challenge.
________________________
Leshawna: I had to teach Justin how to shoot a machine gun! Who couldn't figure out how to shoot a machine gun? Sometimes I think that boy is just a pretty face with no brains behind it.
________________________
Pinky: You see, I didn't actually know how to fly a plane. My uncle used to be a fighter pilot and told me a lot about it. I kind of figured it out after I got into the plane. So what happened then was not my fault!
The plane started to slope down towards the fort. "What are you doing?" Duncan asked.
"Nothing!" Pinkie started to sound panicked. "I can't control the plane!"
Duncan peered towards the fort and saw the three gunners aiming for the plane. "Just a guess, but I think they hit something." The plane started to dive rapidly towards the fort. The gunners suddenly realized they were in danger and started to run away. They were too late and the plane smashed into the fort, exploding and killing everyone near it.
Noah and Heather watched the plane explode from their fort. "Well, that's one way to cause a lot of damage."
"I guess we go attack now," Heather said.
DJ stuck his head out of the artillery's door. "Guys! Are you okay?" He walked up to the top, accidentally bringing a pistol with him. He gasped as he looked at the burning wreckage of the plane.
Noah and Heather were quickly crawling across the battlefield on their hands and knees. They shouldn't have bothered, because DJ was still mourning the loss of his teammates. When they got close to the fort, they both aimed their machine guns at DJ. They started to shoot. Noah laughed manically while shooting. "Hahahaha! Die! Die! Die!" Heather looked at him in terror.
The Confessional: Yep, we're all afraid of him
Heather: Noah really creeped me out there. He had the same look in his eyes that my brother gets when he plays video games. (She shudders.)
________________________
Noah: Okay, I think I went a little crazy there. But the situation somehow reminded me of a video game and I'm always like that when I play video games.
________________________
Duncan: If we had sent out Noah earlier, we could have had this game in the bag.
________________________
Lindsay: I'm really glad that Nick was on our team.
DJ's left arm tingled as the bullets hit him. His arm flopped to his side, bloody and useless. He turned and shot his pistol at the source of the shooting. Heather looked down at the hole in her chest as she disappeared. Noah continued to cackle and shoot his machine gun, not pausing to grieve for his fallen comrade. DJ started to run around the top of the fort, screaming.
Courtney face-palmed. "Why? Why does DJ have to be the last one left?" The dead of the Water Country team snickered at the other team's plight.
DJ mustered his courage and closed his eyes. He shot the pistol in the general direction of Noah. Noah felt his chest tingling at the same time DJ did. Both boys collapsed and disappeared.
They appeared behind Chris. The crowd of teens stood in silence for a moment. "Well? Who won?" Heather asked impatiently.
"Wait a second. Let me watch the replay," Chris rewound the recording of the match and played the last few seconds in slow motion. Both guys fell to the ground and started to disappear. However, DJ started to turn invisible just a second before Noah. Chris groaned and turned to the contestants. "Water Country wins."
The Confessional: There was betting?
Chris: (He groans) I bet Chef $200 that the Fire Country army would win. How the heck did the Water Country team win? They had Lindsay on their team for Pete's sake!
________________________
Chef: The Water Country team was so obviously going to win. They had Duncan and Noah on their team. Noah looked smart, so of course he would be good as a war commander!
A/N: Wow, this was the hardest chapter for me to write. I totally don't know enough about weapons to do a really good war challenge. But I somehow still wrote it. (I haven't played enough video games with shooting. I totally suck at Halo. My friends creamed me when I played them. I got them back when I killed them all in Super Smash Bros. haha. Growing up in a video-game loving family was useful!)
Thanks for the reviews guys!
