Chris "And we're back!" We join our sea monkeys after they rode down the Naica Mine! The teams raced down it on their mine carts and Courtney, being the interim team leader, decided to take a shortcut. Ironically, it only "cut their team short" as the Codemeister and her get knocked off into parts unknown. Ultimately the Admirals got down there first, and Skippers made it second. Will the Captains finally lose their winning streak? Find out here on Total…Drama… Llllllllluxury Tour!"

The teams begin to mine the selenite crystals that the Cave of Crystals held while at the same time, fighting the intense heat the cavern stored.

**Screaming Admirals**

"Fire in the hole!" Duncan yelled as the explosion of a dynamite stick blew off a chunk of crystal.

"Hehe, awesome Duncan!" Gwen approvingly said.

"Ugh… it's soooo hot…" Beth complained.

"Yeah, this must be close to the planet's core… gosh…" Harold said, almost too exhausted to express his mannerism.

"Quit bellyaching and toughen up, ladies!" Duncan ordered.

**Rabid Skippers**

Alejandro took off his shirt and Sadie and Lindsay flaunted over his bare chest. Alejandro then gave a smile to them as he uses his mine pick to knock out some crystal.

Justin not amused by his luster, also removes his shirt before the girls. Unfortunately, he only got the cold shoulder from them. He then begrudgingly mines on the opposing side of his Latin rival. Noah takes notice to this and with Izzy, he walks up to the Hawaiian model.

"So, not fond of Al?" Noah asked politely.

"Ugh, I can't stand how he took the spotlight from me!" Justin whined, "I'm more beautiful than he is, aren't I?"

"Meh" Izzy said, clearly unimpressed.


C.C.

Justin "Meh? MEH? I have never gotten a "meh" in my entire life!" *sobs*


"Anyways," Noah said, wanting to move on, "I know you and Izzy didn't always see eye to eye, but what we all have in common is our friendship with Owen"

"Well that is true," Justin said, reminding of his time with the big guy in TDA.

"I think Alejandro framed Owen at Rapa Nui, and he was the one who threw that egg!" Noah explained.

"That heartless…" Justin was about to say angrily until Noah covered his mouth.

"I was thinking us three should form an alliance to take him down!" Noah pursuades.

"Okay, I am in" The model announced without hesitation.

"This has to be secret! I don't know who else we can trust"

"Alright," Izzy cuts in, "Us three form the Izzy Brigade!"

Noah, Izzy, and Justin all put their hands together with their mutual dislike towards Alejandro.

**Killer Captains**

"Come on you stupid..." Trent angrily says as he tries to break off the selenite crystals using only a heavy rock.

"Sierra, you have to focus!" Bridgette told a worried fangirl.

"How can I? For all I know my Cody could be dead by now!"

"He'll be fine, I promise! We are the ones in danger of being cooked alive down here, let's mine our crystals and find him on our way back up" Bridgette assured.

"I think I see him, eh!" Ezekiel hollered as he sees the gap toothed geek slowly walking towards them from another cavern.

"CODY!" Sierra screamed as she tackled her stalkee followed by almost squeezing the life out of him.

"Cody, you're okay!" Heather said before thinking about how that came out, "I mean, oh, you're okay… whatever…"

After releasing him from her titan grip, Sierra noticed how down he looked, "Codykins, what's wrong?"

Cody sadly looked up to his stalker, "Courtney… she reminded me of how useless I am…"

"What? Don't listen to that meanie!" Sierra responded.

"But what she said was true… I mean if you weren't with me, I would never have made it as far as I did last season…" Cody then dropped to the ground on his back similar to back at the fireworks stand last time he felt this helpless. "It was pointless to try this stupid game again… I am as weak and useless as ever… Gwen is dating a total jerk… There's nothing I can do to change anything… and I am gonna just lie down here and fry!"

After hearing this, Heather walks up to him, kneels down to his level, and after looking deep into his watery eyes, she smacks him hard across the face, "Quit being a crybaby and prove that mean spirited bitch wrong!"

Cody sat back up and rubbed his struck cheek, "I don't know…"

"The only way to prove you can stand on your own two feet is by actually DOING it! Besides, you were the only contestant with any integrity at all. You didn't rely on betraying friends, manipulating feelings, seeing women as medals, or forming illegal alliances with Chef to make it as far as you did" Heather reminded angrily, "Also, you only lost because I distracted you, anything could have happened otherwise. Now stop moping and GET OVER IT!"

Cody took a moment to take that all in but finally got up and smiled, "Thanks, Heather"

"Shut it" Heather responded, not enjoying the mushy moment.

The conversation is then cut short when the Captains turn to see the CIT finally finding where everyone was after hearing the sound of the dynamite. Everyone on the team just glared at her as she walks to them.

"What?" Courtney asked, unaware of what transpired.


C.C.

Sierra "She is Soooooooooooo getting voted off next!"

Trent "I knew she was mean, but taking it out on Cody like that?"

Bridgette "She had no right to be THAT cruel to him!"

Heather "Alienating herself before her entire team? What leader…"


**Screaming Admirals**

"Kaboom!" Duncan yells just before the next explosion occurred. As soon as it did, the crystals broke off and DJ and Eva loaded them onto the mine cart. The heat continues to intensify the teams.

"I'm sorry everyone…" The Admirals all turn to Beth. "This heat is too much for me… I… have to get out of here…"

"Oh come on, Beth, it's not that bad…" Gwen said being annoyed.

"I'm so sorry…" Beth apologized as she runs out of the Cave of Crystals.


C.C

Leshawna "I feel for the girl, this heat is WAY too hot"


**Rabid Skippers**

"Almost…" Alejandro says as with one more swing, he breaks off the massive chunk of crystal selenite.

"You're so strong!" Sadie screams.

"Isn't he?" Lindsay added.


C.C.

Tyler "I hate it when Lindsay gets distracted with Alejandro's charm. I mean, I know I sometimes do too… err… umm… well I just gotta stand out myself!"


"EXTREME!" Tyler yells as he rams his entire body against the crystal. It managed to crack but so did Tyler's back. "Ow…"

"You alright, Tyler?" Lindsay asked concerned.

"It's Taylor… I mean… yeah it's… Ty… ugh…" Tyler once again loses consciousness.

**Killer Captains**

"Tyler has the right idea" Heather said after getting a good idea.

"What are you talking about, eh?" Ezekiel asks as the queen bee gives him the evil eye.

**Screaming Admirals**

"Take cover!" Duncan says as the home school was hurled past him and into a crystal mound, "Oh, I was talking about the…" His words were cut short after the next dynamite exploded.

"Woo hoo! That is awesome, Duncan!" Geoff cheered, enjoying the fireworks.

"That should be enough!" Eva said as she and DJ lifted the last piece needed to fill the mine cart.

"Okay let's roll out then!" Gwen ordered as her team pushes the mine cart out of the heated cavern.

**Rabid Skippers**

"Come on, team!" Alejandro rooted, "Let's do this, for Owen!"

Justin knocked another crystal off the wall and throws it on the Skipper mine cart.

"Alright, that should do it!" Noah announced, "Let's catch up to the Admirals!"

The second team rolls out after throwing aboard an unconscious Tyler.

**Killer Captains**

"Hurry up! The other teams are creaming us!" Courtney barked.

"Oh, great leadership, Courtney" Heather remarked sarcastically.

Trent knocked off the last crystal the Captains needed to fill their cart. "Let's go, let's go!"

"Shoot, Duncan and his lighter are too far ahead, we got no way of finding our way out!" Bridgette exclaimed.

"Great, maybe if that little twerp didn't get me thrown off the mine cart we would have this!" The CIT snapped.

Cody noticed the heavy stones that his team had to use and scraped them together, igniting a spark with enough light to help his team see.

"That's my Cody!" Sierra applauded.

"Okay, let's move out then!" Heather ordered as everyone pushed their mine cart, including a homeschool with head trauma. The team pushes their cart trying to catch up to the others. Cody, scraping the stones together leads the team out of the Cave of Crystals.

**Screaming Admirals**

"There you are, Beth! Come on!" Duncan ordered telling the farm girl to run with the group.

"We so have this, dude!" Geoff yelled as he patted Duncan hard on the back, causing the delinquent to drop his lighter into the box of TNT.

"Oh crap…" Duncan can only say.

"RUN AWAY!" The group all screamed together as they all scattered and took cover from the burning box of dynamite. Right as they do the entire mine cart exploded, shattering all of the mined crystals into small shards and obliterating the cart itself in a burning fire.

"Umm… oops…" Geoff nervously said as the team glares at him.

"Hasta luego!" Alejandro formerly waved the team goodbye as his passed them. Noah grabbed a piece of burning wood from the destroyed cart as the team light source.

"Hurry, grab the shards and make a basket out our shirts!" Harold ordered and no one was in the mood to argue"

As the team does, they see the Killer Captains pass them.

"So long, suckers!" Courtney taunted as she blew a raspberry at them.

"Hurry!" The Admirals complied with Duncan, who did not want to lose to his ex.

Outside of Naica Mine, it was the Skippers who made it out first with their mine cart.

"Victory to the Rabid Skippers," Chris announced.

"Well done, team!" Alejandro praised, "Owen would be very proud of us"

"You said it, Alejandro," Noah said with as much deceit as his nemesis, "I am glad you carried on his legacy"

Then the Killer Captains rolled their mine cart out.

"Captains," Chris then informed, "You guys may not have made it out first, but you at least avoid elimination!"

The team cheered.

"I told you we wouldn't lose with me as leader" Courtney boasted to the queen bee.

"We didn't win either!" Heather shot back, "And the fact that we didn't come in last was thanks to Cody, not you!"

"Oh please, any useless idiot could come up with that kind of plan" Courtney said out loud, aggravating the geek.


C.C.

Cody "UGH! I am tired of her pushing me around! Tonight, I am gonna give that witch a piece of my mind!"


Lastly, the Screaming Admirals exited the Naica Mine with shirt baskets of exploded selenite shards.

"Where's your mine cart?" Chris asked.

"A certain someone made it explode" Eva angrily pointed out.

"Well, it looks like the Screaming Admirals lost this one," Chris announced, "Getting back to them later, Chef, tell us what the Rabid Skippers won!"

Chef sighed and pulled out a cue card, "They won interior decoration, get yourselves cabins of your own as well as a toilet for your ship!"

The team cheered even more.


C.C.

Noah "I kind of wanted to lose this time and vote Al off with my alliance, but… we really needed a toilet…"


Christ turned to the Screaming Admirals, "Admirals, I'll see all of you on your ship.

**Killer Captains**

"Ahhhh…" Heather sighed with relief as she, Bridgette, and Sierra relax in the hot tub they won at Rapa Nui. Cody Jr happily swims in the Jacuzzi as well.

"Can I hop in, eh?" Ezekiel asked as Heather throws a shoe at him and knocking him overboard, "HELP! I'VE GONE OVER BOARD AGAIN, HOLMES!"

"We may not have won, but it feels soooooo good to hop in here after working in that mine…" Bridgette said happily.

Sierra noticed Cody walk by, "Cody, hop in! The water's great!"

"Sorry Sierra, I have to go find Miss CIT and tell her what's what!" The geek angrily responded.

"She's in her room" Heather informed him.

The angry gap toothed geek stomped towards Courtney's cabin.


C.C.

Cody "I was ready to finally unload on her about what kind of person she truly is just like she did to me…"


As he got closer to Courtney's cabin door, he heard the quiet weeping of the councilor-in-training.

"Duncan… why… why did you do this to me?" She cried while muffling her voice with a pillow.


C.C.

Cody "…but I couldn't. She may be meaner than a pit bull, but it just didn't feel right. Even after three months she still feels the pain that Duncan and Gwen put her through. If she can maintain a strong outer shell despite being the sad girl she is on the inside, then I can at least take a little verbal abuse from her every now and then"


Cody then sighed and joined the rest of the team.

**Rabid Skippers**

"Last time we sit in this open space again" Tyler proudly said as he relaxed with Lindsay lying on his lap.

"You all get shut eye, I am going to steer the boat once more" Alejandro happily said. As soon as he left, Noah gave a subtle nod to Justin and Izzy which they then nodded back.

**Screaming Admirals**

Chris "Welcome to the sardine ceremony, Admirals! It is here that you will be receiving these cans of decade old sardines or a life jacket and walk down the "Plank of Shame!" Now, to rehash of today's challenge. Who should be eliminated? Could it be Beth? Beth, is your mind on fire? Is your soul on fire? Are you feeling, hot, hot, hot?" Chris joked as she glared at him, "Geoff, your little pat on the back just caused your team their mine cart, as well as their victory! Harold, you made them walk out in a ridiculous fashion to top it all off!"

"What does that have to do with anything? Gosh!" Harold questioned.

Moving on, Chris said, "Let's see who you all voted for!"


C.C.

Beth "This is not good"

Geoff "Oh man, if this happens to me now, I have to wait even longer to reunite with Bridge!

DJ "How can I vote anyone off here, I don't wanna hurt a friend for something they did on accident!"

Gwen "Me and Duncan were talking about the team priorities. What will benefit us most in the future…"


Chris "The people who are safe are…"

"Duncan!"

"Gwen!"

"DJ!"

"Eva!"

"Leshawna!"

"Harold!"

"Here we are… one last can of sardines left… who is gonna get it?"

"Geoff"

"Yee Haw!" Geoff exclaimed until he realized Beth's position, "I mean, sorry Beth"

Beth looked shocked but humbly walked away with no grudge, she turns to her team with a smile, "Good luck, you guys!"

"Bye, Beth" DJ sadly waved.

"Later, girl!" Leshawna added.

The farm girl took her life jacket and leaped off the "Plank of Shame."


C.C.

Duncan "Geoff may have blew it more, but he is still more likely to pull his weight then Beth could"

Eva "Our team doesn't need whimps!"


Chris hops on the helicopter flown by Chef, "Will the Admirals recover from this loss, will Noah's alliance of brawn, brain, and insanity be what it takes to topple Alejandro? Find out next time on, Total… Drama… Luxury Tour!

A/N: It has come to my attention that some of you are not particularly fond of Courtney, but nevertheless, I still have a major role planned for her so I apologize but you will have to cope for now. Also, I would suggest googling Naica Mine, it is a really interesting place. Finally, I would like to formally advertise that next chapter is a major step in development with Cody and the girls, as well as Cody finally confronting Gwen on his feelings toward Duncan. Tune in Tomorrow :D
