Author's Note
Here it is, chapter 2! I ended up making this a little longer than I intended to. But hopefully that makes this second chapter better.
So, I hope you enjoy.
-MisterStevenson
ToxiVillain#1: Well, with some things like Ripper being really intelligent, Caleb and Bowie being the ex-gay couple, Wayne being an older Dwayne Jr. and dating Emma, I feel like I HAD to do something else with this "continuity".
ToxiVillain#2: I hope you do enjoy it, and that didn't sound weird at all.
It opened on a zoomed-out shot of Topher standing near the casting trailers.
(Narrated by Topher Gray)
Last time on Total Drama Action! The sixteen contestants from last season came back to compete for another chance to win some serious moolah! Shortly after their arrival, a manhunt occurred, and the last two remaining would get a special reward.
Those two being Priya and Wayne, and their reward being able to pick the teams, awesome, right? And then there was a follow-up challenge to see who would get first dibs on the trailers, Ripper easily won that, and surprisingly, managed to pick the nice one.
So who will be one step closer to the million? And who will fall down before the race even starts? Find out, right here! On Total…Drama…Action!
(Fade to Opening and Back)
It opened on a shot of the Craft Services Tent. The sixteen contestants were sitting at the tables, either attempting to eat, or picking at their food. "I forgot just how disgusting Chef's food is." MK said.
"Yeah, like It's smooth and goes down easy in one bite, and crunchy and hard to swallow in the next." Zee added. It then cut over to the other side of the Tent. "So, what'd you get?" Wayne asked. "Well, this looks like burnt hash browns with pieces of moldy fruit scattered in it." Caleb responded.
"Well, I got burnt pancakes with a side of SUPER well-done steak, topped with custard made with spoiled milk." Wayne said. "...Wanna trade?" "Hell yes." The two conversed.
(Makeup Confessional)
Ripper- "Geez, It's like the food budget somehow went into the negative this time around.
Axel- "Food is food, get over it."
(Makeup Confessional End)
It cut back to Topher entering the tent. "Welcome to day two of Total…Drama…Action!" Topher announced, putting on a pair of designer sunglasses and flashing a smile. "Was that REALLY necessary?" Julia asked.
"Indeed my dear Julianne, it was." Topher answered. "Yo dawg, what was wit' the wakeup call?" Damien asked. "Eh, just keeping tradition." Topher shrugged. "I thought there wouldn't be a challenge for another two days?" Chase said.
"I never said anything about a challenge…But you'd be right! I did consider the possibility of letting you guys rest, but then I realized It'd be much easier to form teams and get the first challenge out of the way on day two." Topher explained.
"Is that really the reason?" Ripper asked with a raised eyebrow. "Of course it is." Topher responded in an innocent tone. "Now, today we begin to do our movie-themed challenges. And first on the list…Medieval movies!" Topher exclaimed.
"Whoa! You mean with knights and dragons and princesses?" Valentine asked. "Yes, yes, and yes again." Topher answered. "But it's not exactly as cut and dry as saving a Princess from a tower. Chef, If you wouldn't care to explain?" Topher said.
"You all are gonna go through a bunch o' mini-challenges. And the first team to beat the dragon, and obtain the Chalice of Topher-tude, will win immunity." Chef explained.
"The Chalice of Topher-tude?" Millie asked. "Yep, pretty creative if I do say so myself." Topher answered. "Actually, Chef mentioned teams. How will we know who's who?" Emma asked. "That…Will be decided momentarily! Now, finish breakfast, and meet me back at the trailers." Topher instructed, before leaving the Tent.
"I'm pretty sure we're all done here. Right?" Wayne asked. There were various sounds of agreement, before cutting to the sixteen contestants at the Casting Trailers. "Alright, now as I explained yesterday, for winning the challenge, Wayne and Priya get to pick the teams." Topher explained.
"Alright!" "I shall have to choose carefully." The two reacted. "Now, I'm gonna flip a coin. And whichever side it lands on, is who goes first." Topher explained, before pulling a quarter out of his pocket.
"I call heads." "I suppose that leaves me with tails." They commented before Topher flipped the coin. "It's…Tails! Priya goes first." Topher announced. "Now, like the original, we're gonna go boy-girl-boy-girl." Topher then walked offscreen.
"Alright…I need somebody strong on my team…So I choose Caleb." Priya said. "First to be picked? All right." Caleb commented. "Now, I may be biased on this one, but I gotta go with Emma." Wayne motioned to the girl in question.
"Pfft, of course he'd choose that fat girlfriend of his." Chase mumbled. "What was that?" Wayne looked Chase dead in the eyes. "What, I didn't say nothin'!" Chase put his hands up in defense.
"Hmm…" "Hey, can I make a suggestion?" Caleb whispered. "What is your suggestion?" "Wayne's obviously tryin' to get all his friends on the same team. So you should pick the one that's currently available." Caleb explained.
"I suppose that makes sense…I choose Valentine." Priya said. "Me, picked so early?" Valentine asked, but then she looked at Emma on the other team. "Not again…" Valentine looked at the ground.
"Well, I might as well continue the trend. Get over here, Raj!" Wayne motioned. "Hell yeah baby!" Raj pumped his fists.
(Makeup Confessional)
Nichelle- "Great, the loudmouth brothers are on the same team again. Hopefully I don't gotta deal with 'em."
Caleb- "Wayne and Raj are top-tier competitors. Hopefully they'll get out early this time."
(Makeup Confessional End)
It cut back to Priya, who was scanning the available guys. "I pick…Zee." She decided. "Hehe, sweet." Zee commented. "Well, I'm gonna choose some strength, so…Axel!" Wayne exclaimed. "Hmph, wise choice, Cadet." Axel complimented.
"I pick Julia." Priya said without hesitation. "Meditation buddies for life." Julia gave a peace sign to Priya as she walked forward. "Uhh…" Wayne had trouble choosing between the available guys.
"Come on, there ain't many of us left!" Damien shouted. "Hey, let the man think." Bowie scolded the Amateur Rapper. "Alright, I pick Bowie." "*chuckle* "Naturally you'd be attracted to my charming body." "Don't make me reverse my decision, dude." Wayne and Bowie conversed.
"Okay, I choose-" "Excuse me, can I make another suggestion?" Caleb interrupted. "Oh, but of course." "I think you should choose HIM, y'know…Keep your enemies close." Caleb suggested.
"Alright, I choose Ripper." Even Ripper was surprised at the choice. "Uh, are you sure about that?" Valentine asked. "Yes, I am sure." Priya answered.
(Makeup Confessional)
Valentine- "As you can guess, I'm not exactly thrilled to be on a team with Ripper again…He DID manipulate me into believing we were friends for a good portion of last season.
(Makeup Confessional End)
"Welp, let's go, MK." Wayne said. "Huh? Oh, cool." MK said, before returning to her game. "I do not want to offend Nichelle, but I would much rather have Millie on my team than her." Priya kinda apologized.
"*sigh* Picked this late, I can't believe it." Millie commented. "Well, similar to Priya's reasoning, I sure as sh-*bleep* don't want Chase on my team…So looks like I'm stuck with Damien." Wayne said with disappointment.
"And by process of elimination, Chase goes to Priya's team, and Nichelle goes to Wayne." Topher announced. "Great…" Chase commented, glaring at Valentine. "Like, whatever." Nichelle said.
"Now, I originally wanted to name the teams something movie related, y'know, like the original? But then I had a new idea." Topher explained. "So Priya, your team name is…The Toads of Death!" Topher announced, as a blue team emblem with a picture of a toad with X's for eyes appeared on screen.
"Toads of Death?" Caleb asked. "Yep! And Wayne's team will be known as, The Ferocious Salmon!" Then a pink team emblem with a picture of an angry salmon jumping out of the water appeared.
(Makeup Confessional)
Bowie- "Being completely honest, I'd much rather be a salmon than a disgusting toad.
Valentine- "I'm glad to be with most of my old teammates again, but I'm still worried about Ripper and Chase. Ripper might attempt to try something again, and Chase straight up hates me!"
(Makeup Confessional End)
"Okay, now let's get down to the challenge portion of today! But first…Chef?" Topher called out. And suddenly, most of the contestants burst into laughter, as Chef walked out, wearing a medieval tunic and a pair of tights.
"I hate this job." He said with a deadpan expression. "Each of you will be given a map. On said map are markers representing all the little bits and pieces that make up the challenge. The final marker represents the ferocious, fire-breathing dragon that you must slay to get the Chalice of Topher-Tude!" Topher explained.
"There sure are a lot of 'em." Millie said. "Well, it wouldn't be challenging if there were only like, three. That's why we put four." Topher explained. "Okay, now I wanted to make some pun regarding a low-budget Renaissance Fair, but you'll have to settle for…Get thoust royaleth behinds moving!" Topher ordered in a fancy accent. "Um…Okay." MK said, before everyone walked offscreen. But it lingered on Topher and Chef.
"Hey, why ain't YOU wearin' one o' these fruity outfits!?" "*psht* I wouldn't be caught dead wearing that thing. It's…It's…*snicker* Humiliating." Topher tried holding back his laughter.
(Makeup Confessional)
Chef- "I ain't gonna lie…I already hate the new kid."
Topher- "I'm not a kid, I'm 25!"
(Makeup Confessional End)
It cut to the Ferocious Salmon, all bunched together and looking at their maps. "Alright, if the map is to be believed, then we should soon be coming up on the first challenge marker." MK said.
"Hold up! What if this piece o' paper's been leadin' us the wrong way or sumn?" Damien pointed out. "*sigh* Can you just be quiet for a while?" Emma asked. Damien opened his mouth to say something back, but was immediately stopped by Raj.
"Dude, I know EXACTLY what you're gonna say. And I highly suggest you don't." He said before taking his hand off Damien's mouth. "And why the hell not?" Damien asked. "Remember last season when Wayne kicked your ass?" Raj also asked.
"...Fine." Damien grumbled. It then cut to two interns standing on a castle wall made of cardboard. "*Mmph* *Mrmph*?" The intern with the bandage-wrapped mouth asked. "I dunno Wraps, and I honestly don't care." Clyde responded.
Soon after, The Toads of Death walked up to the gate. "Hold! If thou wish to pass us, you must answer our questions three." Clyde explained. Then it cut to the POV of The Toads of Death.
"Now we gotta answer riddles?" Millie asked. "Perhaps these questions are medieval based?" Priya suggested. "It WOULD fit the theme." Caleb added. "*Mmphton* *Mmm*" Wraps said. "Question one." Clyde translated.
"Who was history's first ever King?" He asked. "Uhh…" Zee blanked. "The first King? I don't know who ruled before Elizabeth!" Julia exclaimed. Then Ripper clapped his hands together. "It was King Sargon of Akkad." He answered.
"That's…Um…Wraps?" Clyde asked. "*Mmph*?" "I don't think that's the answer." "Mmph* *MMPH*!" "Huh?" The two conversed. "My associate is telling me to give you guys the point…Or something along those lines." Clyde said.
"What the- how'd you all get here so fast!?" The voice of Axel suddenly shouted. Then the Ferocious Trout all walked on screen. "We just answered the first question!" Valentine said. "Now what the fu-*bleep* did you tell them that for!?" Chase shouted.
"I just wanted them to know about the questions…" Valentine answered. "So what was it?" Emma asked. "Who was history's first ever King?" Zee repeated. "Whoa, that's a toughie." Wayne said.
"First King…First King…" Raj pondered. "Ugh, I don't know this!" Nichelle exclaimed. "And three…Two…One…" Ripper counted down. "Oh, guys, I think I remember hearing about this in a documentary!" Bowie spoke up.
"Well come on man, what is it!?" Raj asked. "King Sargon of Akkad." Bowie answered. "Seriously? Are you-" "And you'd be correct." Clyde interrupted MK. "Hmph, did you doubt me?" Bowie asked, a hand on his hip.
"*Mmph* *Mammph* *Mramph*" Wraps said. "And with that out of the way, time for question two." Clyde translated. "*Mm-*" "Actually, how about you leave the questions to me?" Clyde interrupted.
"...*Mmm*" Wraps crossed his arms and looked off to the side. "Alright, what was the first Medieval-themed movie?" Clyde asked. "Hm, there have been so many, it will be difficult to determine." Priya commented.
"Hol' up!" Damien suddenly shouted. "*sigh* What is it?" Wayne asked. "Remembah last year when we did that cosplay thing, I said I've seen a bunch of movies?" Damien asked. "Uh…Maybe? But where're you going with this, Cadet?" Axel asked.
"Girl, where the fu-*bleep* do ya think I'm goin' wit' dis!? Now check it." Damien stepped toward the cardboard gate. "The first Medieval-themed movie was Jeanne d'Arc." Damien answered.
"...Correct!" Clyde exclaimed. Damien then walked back towards his gobsmacked team. "Hmph, did ya doubt me?" Damien asked, attempting a Bowie impression. "Okay, last question. And if the Ferocious Salmon get this right, they win an advantage for the next challenge marker. But if The Toads of Death guess it right, then they get the advantage, but if you both get it right…Then no one gets anything." Clyde explained.
"Ask us your question, Gatekeeper, we're not afraid!" Valentine said with confidence. "Fine, but only one person from each team may step forth, hence the rules of the final-three part question." Clyde explained.
"...I'm the Captain of my team, so I'll step forward." Wayne said with immense determination. "And I'll do it for my team." Chase stepped up. "Uh…" "Don't. Say. A word." Chase silenced Valentine.
"Alright, here are the three mini-questions that make up question three. And to decide who to ask first…" Like Topher did earlier, Clyde took a coin out of his pocket, and flipped it. "...Wayne goes first!" Clyde announced.
"Good luck!" "Yeah, you got this, bro!" Emma and Raj cheered on. "*ahem* What…Is your name?" "My name is Dwayne McGavin Jr." "What…Is your quest?" "To seek the Chalice of Topher-Tude." "What…Is your favorite color?" "Light-blue." Clyde asked, and Wayne answered.
"Right, off you go." Clyde said, as Wraps pushed a button that opened the gate. "Uh, thank you…Thank you very much." Wayne then motioned to the rest of the Salmon, and they walked through the gate.
"What the- THAT'S IT!?" Chase shouted. "Come on, you've definitely got this!" Zee encouraged. "*ahem* What…Is YOUR name?" "My name is Chase Halloway." "What…Is YOUR quest?" "To seek that dumb chalice Topher was talking about." "...What…Is the time period in which the Middle Ages ended?" Clyde quickly asked.
"...In which what did what?" And then a hidden trap beneath Chase went off, sending him flying through the air, screaming the whole time, and also sending his prosthetic legs soaring. "What…The hell was that!?" Millie exclaimed.
(Makeup Confessional)
Ripper- "One big movie reference, that's what."
(Makeup Confessional End)
"Okay, so looks like the Ferocious Salmon get the advantage, which'll be waiting at the next challenge marker. And you guys get nothing, so…Bye!" Clyde waved, as Wraps opened the gate again.
"Wait, what about Chase?" Priya asked. "What ABOUT Chase?" Millie sassed. It cut back to the Ferocious Salmon, who were back to holding their maps. "Alright, one down, only…Three more to go." Wayne said.
"Looks like the next marker is at some kinda castle." Raj pointed out. "Well let us make haste! That dragon won't slay itself!" Emma exclaimed. "Like, it's just a challenge, don't get worked up." Nichelle snarkily added.
"Well hurry up, Cadets! Let's get a move on!" Axel ordered, before cutting back to the Toads of Death. "They're right up ahead, come on, pass 'em!" Caleb shouted. And then the entirety of The Toads of Death (minus Chase) sprinted past the Salmon.
"Well they were in a hurry." "Yeah, I'm pretty sure there's no set time limit on this challenge." Wayne and Raj conversed. It briefly cut back to the Toads, who passed some kind of bunker. "Urgh, do you guys feel that?" Julia shuddered.
"Feel what?" "All I feel is this nice day." Priya and Zee answered. "There's an evil presence in there…" Julia explained, before transitioning to the inside of said bunker. "Not how I'd personally describe myself." Topher said.
"And since I'm currently the focus…Will The Toads of Death's urgency pay off? Or will the Ferocious Salmon prove that slow and steady CAN win the race? Find out when we return, on Total…Drama…Action!" Topher announced.
(Cut to Commercial)
It cut back to The Toads of Death running through the film lot. "Okay, now we have to take a right!" Priya instructed. "Then we need to take a left past this Science-Fiction set!" She continued.
"And then-" "Sorry to interrupt but…Could you PLEASE talk a little faster!?" Ripper exclaimed between breaths. "I apologize." "Hold on, I think that's it up there!" Valentine pointed out. Then it cut over to the "castle" in question, made of foam and some other material, two interns standing in front.
"*sigh* So bored." The black intern from last episode commented. "And hot…" Amanda added. "Hey Milton?" "What?" "Are there any more of those tiny waters?" "No, the boss only gave us the one to share." The two began conversing.
And then a whole lot of panting was heard coming from off screen. As The Toads of Death made it to the castle. "Oh…Oh sweet Mama, we made it!" Millie shouted, completely winded. "Yeah…We did." Ripper added, also in the same boat as Millie.
"Good job on making it this far." Amanda began. "Your next challenge is to…Where's your other teammate?" Milton asked. "Oh, Chase? I'm pretty sure he got launched off the lot." Millie responded. "Darn shame…" Ripper nodded.
"Sorry, but your whole team has to be here in order for you all to continue." Milton explained. "Oh come on!" Caleb shouted. "Sorry, them's the rules." Milton said. It cut back to the Ferocious Salmon, now starting to approach the castle.
"All right, looks like the disgusting toads haven't gotten through yet." Bowie commented. "Gotten through? We haven't even started yet." Julia said. "All the better." MK added. "So, what's the second challenge?" Nichelle asked.
"A staple of Medieval media is the Knight." Milton began. "With their swords and shining armor, protecting the King and going on all sorts of quests." Amanda continued. "But forget all of that, because your challenge is to successfully ride a horse." Milton finished.
"...Ride a horse?" MK asked. "Well hey, horses can be…Interesting?" Zee said, not completely confident in his statement. But one member on the Ferocious Salmon looked exciting. "*squeal* I LOVED horses when I was a kid! I totally got this one!" Emma clapped her hands together.
"Well dat's awful convenient." Damien said. "*ahem* Bring out the horse!" Amanda exclaimed. "...Oh, wait, that's my job." Amanda blushed out of embarrassment, before running offscreen, and coming back with a horse.
"*ahem*...Here's the horse." She said. "Well, go on, Cadet." Axel motioned to the horse. "You got it!" Emma ran up to the horse, climbed up, but immediately fell off. This made several contestants cringe.
(Makeup Confessional)
Emma- "Okay, so my experience with horses was just TV shows and cartoons, not riding them.
(Makeup Confessional End)
"Don't worry, no one makes it on the first try!" Wayne encouraged. "Aww, thanks ba-" but Emma couldn't finish, as her second attempt to climb the horse was just as successful as the first.
It then cut back over to The Toads of Death. "Well, this could take a while." Ripper said. "So, what should we all do to pass the-" "Heeey there buddy, pal, old chum." A smug voice said…Then Bowie walked on screen.
"*sigh* What do you want, Bowie?" Caleb asked. "What? I see my ex after a whole year, and I just wanna come up and say hi." Bowie responded. "You had a lotta chances yesterday, so what're you REALLY talkin' to me for?" Caleb asked with narrowed eyes.
"Fine, I just wanted to know how things have been since we broke up. How life's been being single and all that." Bowie explained. "Actually, I'll have you know that I've already met someone new." "Huh?" "And here's something to humble that massive ego of yours…He lives closer to me, he listens to me, AND…He's better at cooking than you ever were." Caleb listed off.
"*growl* You just made an enemy for life, Caleb!" Bowie pointed at Caleb, before rejoining his team. "What was all that about?" Zee asked. "Ugh, just Bowie bein' Bowie." Caleb answered. And then…
"HEY!" Shouted someone from offscreen. Slowly, Chase came into view. Hopping towards everyone on one leg, and holding the other. "Thanks for coming back for me!" Chase yelled. "Oh, Chase, you're back, hooray." Millie said with sarcasm.
"We would've gone back for you if we knew everyone had to be here." Valentine said. "Our next challenge is to successfully ride a horse." Priya explained. "Oh…I ain't doing it." Chase proceeded to hop over to a nearby rock, sit down, and start putting his leg back on.
It then cut back over to the Ferocious Salmon, or more specifically, to Emma. Who had managed to get onto the horse without immediately falling. "Yeah, I actually did it!" She cheered.
"Great…Now you have to get through the actual riding part!" Ripper yelled from the sidelines. "Right…Just gotta be like a Knight and…" Emma began, not really going anywhere. "Uh, I'm no horse expert, but I'm pretty sure you're supposed to do something to make it move." MK said.
"I knew that…! Um…" Emma went back to looking confused. "Oh God, we're gonna be here all day." Axel groaned. "Oh! Emma, try doing what Cowboys do in movies!" Raj suggested. "Be more specific." "Just- hold on!" Raj walked up to the horse.
"Try giving the horse a kick to both sides, that should-" "Like this?" Emma did as she was told and kicked the horse…A little too hard. It ended up going crazy, bucking Raj in the face and launching him several feet, and running around in circles.
"AHHHH, SOMEONE STOP THIS THING!" Emma screamed from the horse. Meanwhile, Wayne ran over to Raj. "Hey, you alright, buddy?" "Ugh, I'm a little banged up but…Wait, why can't I see anything?" "Raj?" "I CAN'T SEE!" Raj screamed in horror.
(Makeup Confessional)
Ripper- "Things went so wrong so fast, it was almost…*snicker* Almost…Hahahahaha!"
Wayne- "Okay, so in the span of fifteen seconds, my girlfriend began riding an out of control animal, and my best friend is now blind…WHY!?"
Ripper- [Still laughing]
(Makeup Confessional End)
"...Uh, should we do something?" Amanda asked. "Oh, right! Since she stayed on the horse for…*sigh* I dunno, just let the team pass." Milton just stopped caring. "Um…Okay." Amanda then took out some sort of whistle.
After blowing it, the horse stopped, also launching Emma off. Then Wayne ran over and helped the girl up. "Well, you may not've "successfully" ridden the horse…But you won us the challenge." Wayne comforted Emma.
"Nice job, Cadet. You should feel proud." Axel congratulated. "Alright, now let's get a move on!" Raj shouted, pointing in the opposite direction of the castle.
(Makeup Confessional)
Raj- "So I'm blind now. But there's plenty of badass blind people in media…Although, I hope I'm not the first one voted out because of it…
(Makeup Confessional End)
So as the Ferocious Salmon moved on, the shot remained on The Toads of Death. "Okay, so who's good at riding horses?" Caleb asked. What followed was silence, and a lot of looking around.
"Hey guys, good news!" Amanda suddenly called out. "Since the horse has tired itself out, no one has to ride it!" Amanda explained to various sounds of relief. "Instead, someone will be riding this!" Milton added, while slowly pushing out a mechanical bull.
(Makeup Confessional)
Priya- "Um, I am pretty sure there were not any mechanical bulls in medieval times."
(Makeup Confessional End)
There was even more silence and looking around on The Toads of Death. "Look, I'm the strongest, so I may have the best chance of holding on however long." Caleb explained. "I don't have any objections." Julia said. "Yeah, that reasoning makes sense." Zee added.
"Alright, good luck Caleb." Priya wished Caleb luck, before suddenly switching to the Ferocious Salmon. "Aww yeah, baby! Jus' one mo' ta go before the dragon!" Damien hollered. "And nobody's gotten hurt so far…Nobody important anyway." Bowie quietly said, glancing at Emma and Raj.
"Now, the last challenge point should be just up ahead." Wayne read from the map. "Uh…Like, what is that?" Nichelle pointed at a small building. "Looks like a…Colosseum?" MK answered, puzzled.
It then cut to the inside of said colosseum, where Topher and Chef were waiting. "Ah, Chef old boy, looks like the first team's made it here." Topher said, sitting on a prop throne. "Yeah yeah, I know. Gotta go down there 'n block the way." Chef said with an unenthusiastic tone.
"Hey, what's the matter? I let you change out of that outfit." "Yeah, but now I'm wearin' this!" Chef motioned to the gladiator costume he was wearing. "Hey, you used to wear dresses and stuff. You didn't complain this much then." Topher pointed out.
"Well things were different then." "Oh, how so?" But before the conversation could continue, the Ferocious Salmon entered the arena. "Let's continue this later." Topher said, before standing up.
"*ahem* Attention Ferocious Salmon! Welcome to the last part of today's challenge…Until the ACTUAL last part that is." Topher began. "Well, I'm guessing by the whole arena, we've gotta fight some animals or the interns, right?" Wayne asked.
"*chuckle* Not exactly…" Topher then motioned to Chef, who looked like he was about to leap into the air and onto the ground…Before pulling out a ladder and sliding down.
(Makeup Confessional)
Chef- "Hey, I'm gettin' old! And I ain't riskin' a broken leg."
(Makeup Confessional End)
"So, your last hurdle before getting to the dragon is…Getting past Chef." Topher announced. "...Sh*bleep*." Nichelle cursed, finally putting her phone down. But suddenly, it cut back over to The Toads of Death.
"So…Who's up next?" Ripper asked, before Zee flew over his head, crashing next to an unconscious Caleb. "Well, I think in order from…Whatever Zee suggested we do. Valentine's up next." Julia answered.
"Me?" Valentine asked. "Yep, now go get 'em!" Chase shoved Valentine towards the bull. "You don't have to push me!" Valentine snapped, before approaching the mechanical bull. It then briefly panned over to Amanda and Milton.
"...Hey Milton." "Yeah?" "I just realized, we forgot to give that other team their advantage when they were here." "Meh, it was just horse food, pretty crappy advantage if you ask me." The two conversed, before switching back to The Toads of Death.
"Come on Valentine, you have this!" Priya encouraged. "Yeah…I do, don't I?" Valentine began psyching herself up, before getting on the bull. "And…Go!" Amanda exclaimed, before the bull went crazy.
Six of seven sidelined members of the Toads were cheering on Valentine, and Milton was looking at a stopwatch. Valentine was desperately clinging onto the bull, screaming all the while.
"Thirteen…Fourteen…And STOP!" Milton shouted, as Amanda pulled out a remote, turning the bull off. "Congratulations, you rode the mechanical bull for fifteen seconds, you can proceed.
"Hoora-*ulp*" Valentine, due to the intensity of the bull, proceeded to throw up, grossing out several of her teammates.
(Makeup Confessional)
Valentine- "I'm happy that I won the challenge…But I'm never riding one of those things again."
(Makeup Confessional End)
It cut back to the arena, Chef was guarding the exit like a goalie, and the Ferocious Salmon were strategizing. "Half of us should create a diversion, while the other half break for the exit." Axel suggested.
"Then what about the half left behind? How're we gonna get out?" Nichelle asked. "Wayne, can't you push through or something?" Emma asked. "Sorry Em, but I'm workin' at half strength right now." Wayne pointed at Raj.
"I think dere's a solution y'all ain't seein'." Damien spoke up. "And that would be?" "Let's just rush the guy." "So a blitzkrieg…? I guess It's worth a shot." Axel and Damien conversed. "Wait, how'll I get to the exit?" Raj asked.
"Uh, just hop on my back, if I can carry Emma then I can carry you." Wayne answered. "Got it broham!" Raj made a thumbs up, before everyone started to get in position. And then The Toads of Death showed up.
"*phew* We made it! And it looks like the-" "CHARGE!" Caleb was interrupted by the screams of the other team, them all running towards Chef, knocking him over, and leaving the arena. "...Nevermind." Caleb said, defeated.
"About time you sorry lot got here!" Topher exclaimed. "So, you gotta get past Chef if you wanna make it to the final part. Now adios!" Topher then proceeded to leave the arena as well.
"Well, the other team appeared to charge through him. So let us do that as well." Priya suggested. "Meh, okay." Ripper shrugged. "Right…Charge!" Valentine shouted, as everyone began running.
Seeing this, Chef actually jumped out of the way, letting everyone pass. And then it cut to the final part of the challenge. "There it is…The dragon." Wayne said. The camera then panned over to show the animatronic monster from the original TDA, but parts of its endoskeleton were showing, and was dressed up to look like a dragon.
It also panned over to a hidden part of the challenge area, Clyde, Amanda, Milton, and Wraps were all holding various pieces of equipment, controlling the dragon. "Well well well, you all made it to the final portion!" Topher exclaimed, coming in on a golf cart.
"We all did?" Emma asked, before lots of panting was heard offscreen. And The Toads of Death all arrived as well. "Looks like it'll be two teams fighting for…This!" Topher held up a gold chalice with his face imprinted on it.
"And…Ready…Set…Go!" Topher exclaimed, before everyone ran off in a frenzy. "I'll break for the chalice, you handle the-" But Axel was cut off by the dragon stomping its foot in front of her.
"Everyone run!" Zee shouted. "MK, do something, anything!" Emma grabbed the gamer girl out of desperation. "What am I supposed to do? Ask it to stop!?" MK shouted back. "Oh man, now THIS is some good entertainment!" Topher commented while holding a bag of popcorn.
"Wait, guys what's happening? I still can't see any-" But Raj was interrupted by the dragon swinging its tail in his direction, sending Raj straight into a wall. "RAJ!" "Oh no…" Wayne and Emma panicked.
But out of the rubble…Walked Raj. "My eyes…They're fixed! I can see…I CAN FIGHT!" Raj shouted as he heroically ripped off his hockey jersey, then charged towards the dragon. And sounds of fighting could be heard coming from offscreen.
"Whoa, this is so awesome! This is some Master of the Rings sh-*bleep* right here! Man, the network will NEVER let us show this fight again!" Topher excitedly exclaimed, the shot focusing on him.
After a little bit, it cut to Raj standing atop a fallen dragon, holding the Chalice of Topher-tude, and everyone on the Ferocious Salmon cheering his name. "And since Raj managed to grab the Chalice, the winners of the first challenge are…The Ferocious Salmon!" Topher announced.
Then, everyone on the Ferocious Salmon began cheering louder. Raj stepped off the dragon, and was immediately picked up by everyone. "Toads of Death, I'd think about who you're eliminating first, it can be a difficult decision after all." Topher said.
"Hey, Topher!" An offscreen voice shouted. It panned over to show an angry Clyde, Amanda, and Milton. "After almost being crushed by that robot, we did some thinking, and…We quit!" Clyde exclaimed, before the three removed their name tags and threw them on the ground. "...Meh, we'll find someone to replace 'em." Topher shrugged.
"*sigh* Come on everyone, let us go." Priya said with a dejected tone. And slowly, everyone on The Toads of Death walked offscreen…Except for one. "Julia, everyone is going back to the casting trailers." Priya said.
"Oh, yeah, coming!" Julia quickly said. "Were…You just drooling at something?" "Nope." The two began conversing as it cut over to the casting trailers. "So, who're we voting for?" Caleb asked. "Isn't it obvious? Chase has the worst temper around, and that won't get you far." Ripper said.
"I suppose that makes sense." Priya added. "To be honest, a part of me wanted Chase to change a little before he left the game…" Valentine solemnly said. "Looks like that was nothin' but a pipe dream." Millie said.
It then cut to a shot of the elimination stage, as several clips of Topher from the past two episodes played, before showing a large silver statue of the host in question. It then cut back to the elimination stage, Topher was walking up to the podium in a light-gray suit. It also showed the members of The Toads of Death all sitting in some bleachers.
"All right, here's how this goes. Under your seats is the iconic voting device from TDA, you will use that to cast your vote, press the icon next to the person you want voted off, and that's all there is to it!" Topher explained.
"Also, no peeking or sharing answers. Or you're outta here!" Topher added, doing his best umpire impression. Everyone began to cast their votes, some more confident than others. "The votes have been cast! If you get a Silver Topher, it means You're safe to compete another day. But if you don't, then you're not!" Topher explained.
Then Chef walked up, wearing his old pink dress, and carrying a tray of the Silver Tophers. "The Silver Tophers go to…Zee, Millie, Caleb, Julia, Priya, and Ripper!" Topher announced, leaving Chase and Valentine. "And the final award goes to…"

"Chase." Topher finally said. There was shock from just about everyone there. "Yeah, shocking, I know." Topher agreed. "But…I thought everyone liked me…" Valentine looked ready to cry. "ALMOST everyone." Chase added.
"Lame-ousine's that-a-way!" Topher said. "See ya, homegirl." Millie hugged Valentine. "Sayonara." Zee waved, looking quite guilty. "Good luck on your future endeavors." Priya also said goodbye.
It cut to Valentine going down the Walk of Shame, getting into the Lame-ousine, and it driving off. "One down, fifteen to go! What'll happen now that one of the MC's of last season is gone? Find out next time, on Total…Drama…Action!" Topher announced.
But before it cut out, it lingered on Chase, slowly munching on the white chocolate-filled statue.
(Flashback)
"I know you and the others plan on voting for me. But tell me…Who's the most threatening person on our team?" Chase asked. "Well, probably me or Caleb." Ripper responded. "Wrong! Valentine is liked by just about everyone, plus she made it to the finale last season." Chase responded, actually making Ripper's eyes widen.
It then cut to the two talking to someone else. "You're a strategy guy, it does make sense, right?" Chase asked. "Ngh, I REALLY hate to admit it but…Yes." Caleb admitted. It cut once again to Chase talking to someone.
"I didn't get a proper chance to prove myself…Will you please vote with me?" "...Okay." Zee said. And then…"*sigh* "I don't know Chase, you were kind of a jerk." Julia said…Before Chase held her against a wall.
"Now listen up you Vegan bi-*bleep*, I'm not going home first, and if I do end up as the first boot, because you double-crossed me…I WILL find you…And you wouldn't like that." Chase threatened.
"*gulp* O-Okay, I'll vote with you!" Julia panicked. It then cut back to Chase…Who had a sadistic look on his face.

Author's Note- Post Script
And so, we reach the end of "episode" 2. I honestly forgot how hard it was juggling so many characters around, but hopefully I managed ok.
One more thing before I go, there was a story decision close to the end that I ended up deciding by a...Well a coin flip. I'll reveal what it is later, so until then.
Look out for more.
