Author Note
Well, Dodgebrawl time! I'm burning through these pretty well, my reasoning is I have exams coming soon so I'm just trying to give you guys as much content as possible as it'll probably burn out for a period of time before I can continue with this. But anyway, onto the chapter! Let's see what today's episode has in store for us
OmniBIB - I'm glad you saw where I was coming from with Ezekiel, and we'll see who will be the protagonist to the true antagonist of this season :)
PinkMembrane12 - Glad you're enjoying the story so far! I was personally a big Priya and Damien fan and can't wait for TDI2023 to return so we can see what happens with them
GucciManeLaFlare - Also glad u like what I did with Ezekiel, I think it's better this way. This AU didn't really feel like the type where MK would still from the likes of Eva to be honest so I left that part out.
TheStoryTeller993 - Glad you're enjoying the JZP alliance, I'm enjoying that name for now
Guest - Well, we'll have to wait and see who the eventual big bad will be. The idea of Cody and MK fanfics stemming from this would be pretty amusing.
Guest - A fellow Damien/Priya fan, I'm here for it. Dave and Courtney is just something that works to me, she's got the competitive edge of sky which Dave could learn from, Courtney is someone who could learn to feel more than think logically which I think Dave could show her, I feel like they play off each other pretty well so we'll see what happens.
"Last time on Total Drama Island..." Chris once again started from the dock, as scenes from the previous episodes played. "The Screaming Gophers kicked butt in the Awake-A-Thon when Chase took a dive on the can. And the Killer Bass took their second loss in a row...harsh. Jasmine orchestrated the first Total Drama Island alliance by convincing Priya and Zoey to join forces with her. Upon the elimination, Julia and MK knew they'd be on the chopping block and managed to convince Ezekiel to allow a few of his teammates into voting him off, taking the dive. Nicely played Julia, nicely played, although it wasn't as discreet as it could've been..." Scenes of Ezekiel at the elimination ceremony, MK and Julia having their conversation in the cabin and Scott appearing from outside the confessional as Julia left all played. "In the end, Ezekiel the home-schooled became the second camper to rock the boat of losers. Who will break the rules of their new alliance? Will Zee be able to stay awake until the end of the episode? And who will take the most humiliating walk down the dock of shame? Stay tuned for the most dramatic campfire ceremony yet on Total...Drama...Island!"
(Theme Song Plays)
The episode opened with the contestants in the messhall, sitting with their respective teams eating breakfast. Cody was collecting his food when he bumped into MK behind him.
"Sorry!" They both exclaimed at the same time, and attempted to get past each other going in the same direction a few times, both maintaining awkward faces at each other until eventually they cleared a way and Cody went to sit back at his table.
The camera cut to MK collecting her food and taking a spot next to Dave, who stared at her with a raised eyebrow until eventually she picked up on it.
"What?" The Schemer said to him.
"Just, what was that about?" Dave responded.
"Nothing." MK quickly said, blushing slightly as she began to force her food down her throat, shuddering as she took a bite.

"I'm still feeling pretty awkward around MK after yesterday's...incident." Cody confessed. "I mean that's the most action I've actually had from a girl in...wait how old am I again?" Cody said as he attempted to count on his fingers.

"Ugh, I've never been in a situation this uncomfortable ever." MK said with a huff as she crossed her arms. "Courtney and Chase have been joking about it ever since as well which I'm really not enjoying, in case you thought otherwise."
xxx
"Aww, is someone blushing?" Chase said in teasing tone, still having visible bags under his eyes
MK didn't say anything and simply sent a glare his way, before going back to taking a bite of her food.
"Chase! You look like death dude." Chris said with a chuckle as he approached the Bass table.
"Yeah, thanks to Julia snoring all night." Tyler sighed, informing the host.
"Hey! Don't tell him that!" Julia said, her face slightly turning red.
"Wow!" Chris laughed, "four nights with no sleep? How much are you hurting?" He said to the team.
"You wanna find out?" Eva hissed, raising a fist.
"No, no, it's cool guys!" Chris put his hands in front of him, backing off maintaining his smile.
The camera quickly cut to the Gophers side, minus Zee appearing more well rested.
"So, I'd like to raise a proposal." Jasmine said to Priya and and Zoey who were sitting with her along the end of the table.
"And that proposal is?" Priya asked.
"Well, we've been doing well in challenges so far." Jasmine admitted. "But we are going to lose eventually, so we should discuss who we'd vote off in that case."
"Do we really need to do that now?" Zoey chimed in. "I'm liking everyone on our team so far, I'd hate to think about having to eliminate someone."
"Remember Zoey, it's a game." Jasmine informed the Indie Chick. "It's no hard feelings at the end of the day, better them than us right?"
"Well...yeah, I suppose..." She responded, rather unenthusiastically.
"Hey everyone, its Zee!" Chris said off camera, as the trio turned their heads to the mess hall door.
The camera cut to Zee walking in, moving like a zombie as Chris clapped by the door and his team cheered for him.
"Hey guys." Zee said with a half hearted smile, before hitting his head on the table.
Sam attempted to lift up his head, only for Zee to drop back down, groaning this time.
"Oops, sorry man." The Gamer said.
"It's cool bruh." Zee responded in a muffled voice, as he kept his head on the table.

"We are so stinking right now!" Courtney confessed. "It's not like we're that much weaker than the other team, best case scenario they're starting to get some big heads and eventually slip up." She finished with a sigh.

"Okay campers listen up." Chris walked to the centre between the two tables, clapping his hands as he did in an attempt to gain their attention. "Your next challenge begins in ten minutes. And be prepared to bring it!"
The camera flashed and returned to show a large glass outside, with a dodgeball court on the inside of it. Some of the campers we're already inside as others began walking in. Eva walked in and immediately plopped onto the bench, closing her eyes.
"Should we wake her up?" Dawn said, turning to her teammates.
"Do you wanna wake her up?" MK retorted, glancing back at the Female Bully.
"Um, good point." Dawn blinked, as she flinched from the sound of a whistle being blown off camera.
The camera cut to show Chef in a referee outfit, holding a whistle and walking to the end of the outside of the court, past the contestants looking rather terrified of the big man.
"Today's challenge, is the classic game of dodgeball. Now the first rule of dodgeball is," Chris started.
"Don't make people over the age of twelve play dodgeball?" MK retorted, earning a little laugh from Cody, as he immediately cleared his chest and looked away, causing MK to raise an eyebrow.
"As I was saying," Chris continued. "if you get hit with the ball," as the Host said this, he threw the ball at Courtney, who groaned and complained. "you're out."
"You can't do that!" The A Type yelled at him, throwing the ball back at him.
Chris effortlessly caught the ball, continuing with his explanation. "If you catch the ball, the thrower gets sent out and the catcher gets to bring another team member onto the court.
"Wow these challenges just get harder and harder huh, Chris?" Scott said with a smirk.
"I know right?" Zee added, after a yawn. "So confusing..." The Potheaded added as he began to drift off, as Scott and Damien shared a 'he's not serious right?' look.
"Okay now Dave, try to hit me" Chris said, regaining the attention as he threw a ball over to Dave, who gave a shrug. "If you're holding a ball, you can use it to deflect a ball, but if it knocks the ball out of your hand, you're out!" Chris explained as Chef passed him a ball, and he dropped it as an example of explaining.
"So, what am I meant to do again when the ball is thrown at me?" Julia asked, in an airy voice.
"You dodge!" Chris called out as Dave threw the ball at him, and he deflected it hitting Julia in the face, causing her to hit the ground and her teammates around her winced.
"You were supposed to dodge!" Chris scolded her after he winced.
"Right..." Julia said, before giving an unseen smile, as the camera cut to MK who raised an eyebrow, then Scott.

"After the part I played in last night's elimination, I figured I need to go under the radar for a while just in case anything comes back to bite me." Julia confessed. "And besides, who would suspect the adorable little airhead of working behind the scenes right?" She added as she purposefully twirled her hair and did her best to look lost. "Ouch..." She added, as she began to rub the visible bump on her head.
xxx
"No wonder none of the Killer Bass have caught onto Julia." Scott confessed with his arms crossed. "She might be a bigger problem then I thought she would be..." He began to tip his chin in thought.
xxx
"You have one minute until gametime!" Chris informed "Bass, you'll sit out four players and Gophers will sit out six."
The camera flashed and returned to the Gopher bench area, as Jasmine stood in the center. "Okay team, it's important that we don't get complacent. The Killer Bass will be way more motivated for a victory here then us." She instructed her team, as a few nodded and others looked blankly on whilst Anne-Maria stared her nails.
"Zee, you'll sit the first one out obviously." She turned to the Pothead, who was still hunched over.
"You got it man." He said with a weak smile, before passing out on the bench.
"Anyone else want to sit out of the first round?" She added, turning back to her teammates.
"Yeah, I'll sit out of this one, gives me a chance to finish filing these." Anne-Maria said, flaunting them off before taking a seat on the bench, as Jasmine raised an eyebrow.
The camera cut to Chef raising an eyebrow at both sides, before it cut to the Gopher side where they had Jasmine, Scott, Zoey, Cody and Priya out, then cutting to the Bass side where they had Tyler, Courtney, Leonard, Chase and MK.
"At least try to make it challenging this time will you?" Scott taunted.
"Oh, you're going down! We're gonna bring the dinner to the table, and then we're going to eat it!" Tyler said in an attempt at a taunt, to which Courtney facepalmed and MK rolled her eyes.
"You've got to be kidding me..." MK muttered.
"Are you ready?" Chris asked, from the top center of the court. "Best of five games wins! Now, let's dodge some balls!"
Chef blew his whistle, as both benches began to applaud and cheer for their teams, save for Zee who was sleeping, Anne-Maria who was filing her nails and Eva who was also sleeping on the opposite bench.
The camera cut to Cody who had a ball, and immediately hurled it at Tyler who dodged. The Jock Who Sucks at Sports sent a glare at Cody who gave a sheepish smile, before Tyler span and threw the ball, hitting Dave on the bench in the face, causing him to fall off.
"That'll stain the sweater vest." Chris commented on the sideline
"Nice job, now let's see if you can hit someone on their team!" Courtney scolded, tossing a ball into his chest.
Suddenly Jasmine began to charge forward, launching a ball at Tyler sending him into the glass part of the court. "Ouch, darn it!"
Chef blew his whistle, as the counter from the previous challenge appeared, dropping the Bass count to four whereas the Gopher count stayed at five.
The Gopher bench began to cheer, as Cody and Jasmine exchanged a quick high five. Tyler went to the Bass bench, acknowledging the glare from Dave as he began to whistle and innocently turn his head to the side.
"Time to unleash my true potential!" Leonard exclaimed, as Chef blew the whistle in the background.
"Oh, this should be amusing." MK commented, holding a ball.
"Fireball of fury!" Leonard excitedly exclaimed, as the ball caught on fire as it was being launched, before it went back to reality and the ball by the side of Scott, who sent a grin at The LARPer.
"Uh oh..." The black boy quickly said. "Protection cloak!" He called out, as he was suddenly hit by the ball from Scott and sent landing onto the ground.
The camera cut to the shocked face of Dave, as Chef blew his whistle in the background.
xxx
"I think it says a lot that we've been through two eliminations, and he wasn't even close to being voted out." Dave confessed with an annoyed stare.

The Bass counter turned to three, as it returned to the Gopher side of the court. "Great shot Scott!" Jasmine said patting him on the back, as the Dirt Farmer chuckled, before gritting his teeth.
The camera returned to show Priya elegantly jumping to dodge a ball breathing a sigh of relief. Suddenly a ball to the chest got her, knocking her down. Chase sent a high five to Courtney as Chef blew his whistle, and the Gopher counter turned from five to four. Priya walked onto the bench, holding her stomach sitting next to Damien.
"Ouch, that looked rough." The Likeable Nerd chuckled.
"You have no idea." Priya said with a smile. The camera cut to Jasmine who looked at the scene with suspicion, before being hit in the face with a ball. The Bass team celebrated once more, as the Gopher counter went down to three.
"What happened there Jasmine?" Sam asked, as she returned to the bench.
"Oh, nothing." She said, slightly aggravated as she looked up at Priya and Damien.
The game returned to the court, where Courtney attempted to throw a ball to Scott, which Zoey caught with ease, shocking Courtney.
"I got you!" Zoey said with a smile.
"Yeah...thanks..." Scott said, looking rather annoyed.
Chef blew his whistle, signalling for Courtney to leave, then pointing to Zee signalling for him to go in. The Gopher counter went up to four as the Bass counter went down to two.
"Oh, I'm up?" Zee said, as he stretched and slumped onto the court. MK was getting ready to throw a ball, which Zoey ducked and ended up hitting Zee directly on the back of the head.
"Oh, sorry?" MK said, sounding confused.
"No worries brah." Zee said, sending her a thumbs up and immediately heading back to the bench.
The Gopher counter immediately went down to three as this happened.
The camera flashed to reveal it was now two two, as Scott was now out.
MK threw a ball, which Zoey deflected, as Chase then immediately threw a ball which she couldn't deflect in time hitting her in the stomach.
Chef blew his whistle signalling for her to leave, leaving Cody alone against the pair, who stared him down with an aggressive expression.
"Easy out guys, easy out." Courtney commented from the sidelines as she walked down the Bass bench.
Cody suddenly smiled, tossing his ball in the air, before throwing it towards Chase. The Prankster ducked, before the ball curved back and hit him on the butt somehow.
"The heck!?" Chase said as he grabbed his butt and looked down to see the ball on the floor.
"That is one tough ball to dodge!" Chris commented from the side.
MK then threw a ball, which Cody ducked. He then rubbed a ball on his shirt, and fired it towards MK. "Uh oh..." The girl said, before she started running away from the ball which followed her, before she ran into the wall and the ball hit her from behind. "Just perfect..." She groaned.
Cody cheered as he returned to the Gopher bench, being lifted onto Jasmine's shoulder. "Nicely done mate!" She enthusiastically told him.
"Nothing to it." The boy said with a confident smile, as his team smiled at him.
The camera flashed to the Bass, who huddled in a circle minus Eva.
"Friends, we need to believe in ourselves in order to win!" Dawn exclaimed, in a rare attempt to rouse her team.
"Oh I believe, I believe that MK stinked!" Courtney said, glaring at the Schemer.
"Yeah, you throw like a girl!" Tyler added.
"Um, she is a girl?" Chase added, in a confused tone.
"Not like you can talk." Courtney chimed in, turning her rage from MK to Tyler.
"That was a warm up throw!" Tyler defended. "Look, I can dominate this game. Just give all the balls to me."
His teammates looked like they were going to say something, but Chef blew the whistle signalling it was time to start the second round.
"Fine, just try to aim for the other side okay?" Courtney asked, as Tyler nodded.
"And try not to hit me this time? Thanks." Dave added, as he walked onto the court.
"Okay Anne-Maria, you wanna go in this round?" Jasmine asked.
"Not particularly, you guys seem fine enough without me." She commented back.
Chef blew his whistle, leaving Jasmine zero time toc ounter. "Okay fine." Jasmine sighed, as Beth raised her hand and she nodded to the girl, leading for her to go in. "Let's go team." She clapped her hands.
The camera cut to show the Bass side, they had Dave, Tyler, Julia, Dawn and Chase out, with Tyler holding all the balls. The Gopher team gave confused looks to the Bass strategy, as they had Sam, Izzy, Beth, Jasmine and Damien. Tyler began his spin tactic once more, hitting one ball towards Chef, who glared, one which Chris narrowly ducked.
"Hey, watch the face dude!" He called out.
Tyler continued, hitting one towards the Gopher bench which they all jumped out of the way to dodge, and finally one which hit Courtney on the bench. Dave gasped, and quickly left the court helping the girl out.
"Ow..." She groaned as she stood back up.
"Courtney, you okay?" Dave said, helping her up slightly.
"Yeah...how bad is it?" Courtney asked, as the camera purposefully didnt show her face.
"Oh erm...not as bad as you think..." Dave told her, as Courtney had two visible bumps alongside her face. "Could be so much worse..." Dave said off camera as Damien and Sam exchanged an 'is he serious right now?' look.
"Hey, do you wanna go for a walk? Maybe take a time out of this challenge?" Dave asked her, as Courtney gave a wide expression.
xxx
"I wanted to say yes, but..." Courtney sighed.
xxx
"Sorry, but we still have a challenge to make sure we win." Courtney told him, as she returned back to the bench, and Chris came up to put an arm on his shoulder.
"Wow, now that hurt to watch." The host commented. "And unfortunately, you stepped out of the court so you're out dude." He told him, as the Bass counter appeared dropping to four. Dave sighed, and walked out of the gym.
"Okay, that's enough time wasted now." Jasmine said, as cracked her neck. She suddenly grabbed a ball out of Sam's hand, launching it at Tyler, who was too slow in his dodging time. Chase snapped back into reality throwing a ball at Jasmine which she caught, before throwing one at Dawn. Beth passed the final ball to Jasmine which she immediately threw to Julia, smacking her in the side of the face.
"Ouch!" Chris commented. "That one's worth an instant replay."
"Forward...okay rewind, forward, rewind...forward...rewind, forward! Rewind! And pause!" Chris said in an attempt get the perfect shot the instant the ball smacked Julia in the face. "Yeah, that's gonna leave a mark." He said, as the camera resumed showing her getting dropped to the floor.
"Remind me to stay on your good side." Sam smiled as the two shared a high five.
The Gopher bench cheered as Chef blew his whistle, and the Bass sighed in defeat, whilst it panned to Scott who looked rather annoyed.
xxx
"How am I meant to vote off my teammates if we never lose!" He gritted his teeth, as he hit the confessional door. "Ow, splinter!" He said, glaring at his hand.
xxx
Courtney noticed how dejected her team looked, and attempted some words to rouse them up. "Come on guys, it's not over yet!" She was met with a silence, as she herself sighed. "It's so over..." She muttered quietly.
The camera faded to black, returning to the Bass team now sitting on the bench.
"Okay, this is really bad. One more game and we lose the whole challenge, again! We can't let that happen people. We need someone strong, someone mean, someone who will crush those lame-o Gophers into the dirt!" Courtney claimed.
As she said this, the teams eyes glanced down to Eva who was still sleeping.
"Are you crazy? She's the last person I would ever want to wake up. And I once woke up a sleeping lion." Chase commented.
"It's not like we have much of a choice." Julia sighed.
"So, whos going to wake her up?" MK asked her team, as once again they were met with silence. "Why did I expect anything else." The Schemer sighed.
The camera flashed and returned to the Bass team holding a stick and poking it at Eva, slowly startling her, until she grabbed the stick, broke it and stared down her team.
"What?" She simply stated, to their fear.
"Well, we just, kind of needed your help to win this challenge." Courtney informed her, chuckling awkwardly in fear.
"Oh." Eva blinked. "Well, alright then, what do you need?" She calmly responded much to the surprise of her teammates.
xxx
"Okay, I know I come across as terrifying." Eva started before pausing. "Okay, I know I am terrifying," The Tough girl corrected, "but at the end of the day I want to beat those crummy Gophers into the ground just as much as the rest of my team, so yeah, I'll work on trying to come across more..." The girl shuddered before she continued. "Friendly."
xxx
"Alright well, we're at your command for this one." Chase said.
"Well in that case, here's a little strategy we came up with for lacrosse playoffs." Eva said, grinning rather darkly before the camera flashed.
The scene returned to show the Bass now had Chase, Leonard, Courtney, Julia and Eva out, whereas the Gophers sent out Jasmine, Cody, Sam, Zee and Beth.
As Chef blew his whistle, Sam and Beth both threw their shots which Chase and Julia easily dodged, before Leonard picked up the balls and handed them to Eva and Courtney. Now with Chase, Julia, Courtney and Eva all armed with a ball, they in one go all fired the balls which surprised Jasmine, who managed to dodge the first before being hit by the second, following with the third and fourth.
The Bass cheered as Chef blew his whistle, and Jasmine punched the court before storming off to the loser bench. The camera cut to show the Bass repeating the same strategy, knocking out Cody, then Beth, then Sam and finally Zee.
Chef blew his whistle, causing Anne-Maria to look up from filing her nails. "Jeez, what happened there guys?" She commented, earning a glare from Jasmine and Priya. The Bass cheered as they won this one.
"Okay, I think we should do the same thing all over again." Courtney commented.
"But wouldn't they be expecting that?" Dawn added.
"No, they'll assume we're not dumb enough to run the exact same strategy twice..." Courtney said.
"Which is exactly why it'll make the perfect double bluff." MK finished, hitting her fist in her palm.
xxx
"Okay, I'll give it to her, Courtney is slyer than I give her credit for." MK confessed. "My respect for her has shot up slight5ly, the key word being slightly."
xxx
"Hey, has anyone seen Dave lately?" Chase commented, as they prepared to go back out.
"Eh, I'm sure he's fine, focus up we got to win two more of these." Eva said as she pushed him onto the court.
The camera flashed to show Dave, sitting on a rock writing in the sand with a stick. He was drawing a stick figure of himself and Courtney, before crossing it out in the sand, and sighing.
"Don't worry, Its not as bad as you think." Dave shot up from the rock as he noticed Dawn sitting down on the side next to him.
"Wha,whe-when did you get here!?" He said looking around.
"Just now." The Moonchild simply stated, as if it was obvious. "And don't worry, Courtney shares strong feelings of admiration for you as well, I can see it in her aura." She said, with a soothing smile.
"What makes you so sure?"
"Well, she has a tough competitive exterior, but deep down she's as genuine as they come. Besides, compared to some of the other people on her team, I don't feel anything dangerous omitting from her."
"Well, that actually did make me feel better, thanks Dawn." Dave said, looking down but now smiling. "Wait, what did you mean by some of the other people on our team?" Dave suddenly looked up and realised Dawn was gone. "Dawn?" He said, looking around.
xxx
"So I've been here a few days now and I've basically summarised my team into Tyler the Jock who can't do sports, Leonard who thinks he's a wizard, Chase who put shaving foam in my pillow two nights ago, Courtney who's terrifying, Julia the influencer, Dawn who can somehow teleport, Eva who's even more terrifying and MK who makes sarcastic comments all the time. This place is weird." Dave finalised.
xxx
The camera cut to show Dave heading back into the dodgeball arena, taking a seat next to Tyler. "So how we doing?" He asked, as the camera cut to show Zee getting hit with four dodgeballs, signalling the end of the round.
"Well we woke up Eva, and now we just finished tying it, next game wins by the looks of things." The Jock smiled.
"Sweet." Dave said with a smile, before longing over into staring at Courtney, taking a deep breath and focusing again.
The camera cut to the Gopher bench, which Jasmine now kicked. "I can't believe they used the same strategy again!" She exclaimed.
"They got us pretty good with the double bluff strategy." Priya admitted with a sigh.
"Plus I guess we did get a little cocky." Sam admitted, rubbing the back of his head.
"Well, some of us did anyway." Jasmine said glaring over at Scott, who gave a surprised look.
xxx
"Wow, expect Jasmine of all people to notice I was holding back on my throws in the last round. Keeping her around might end up being a long game problem for me..." The Dirt Farmer mused.
xxx
"Well, this is the round for all the marbles, so we go in there with our strongest team got it?" The Outbacker said, as her team nodded. "Alright, let's go Gophers." She said clapping her hands.
"So, where did you go?" Courtney said as she took a seat next to Dave.
"Oh, I just went to sit on the beach for a while." The Normal Guy responded.
"Well, you feeling okay? Cause about-" Courtney started before he cut her off.
"No, I get it, we were down in the challenge and it was a stressful situation, was pretty stupid of me to think of myself like that. Don't worry, I'm here for the team." Dave reassured, as he stepped up ready to go back out on the court.
"Oh...wow...okay." Courtney said, now smiling and hiding a slight blush as Dave got up.
xxx
"Imagine if it wasn't for that pep talk from Dawn," Dave started, "Who knows, I might've gone totally psycho crazy over a girl I've known for a day days and tried to kill everyone on the island." He said with a chuckle, before stopping and looking at the camera. "It's clear that's a joke right?" He added.
xxx
"Okay this is it!" Chris stated. "The final tie-breaking game. Gophers, Bass, let's take this sample to the lab, and see what you're made of!" Chris commented, as the camera cut to show the Bass put out Courtney, Dave, Eva, MK and Chase, whereas the Gophers put out Damien, Jasmine, Zoey, Priya and Cody.
Chef blew the whistle, and Damien and Chase each respectively grabbed one of the balls from the middle, tossing it back to their teams. Cody caught the ball from Damien, and immediately threw it over to MK, who reflected it using the ball Chase threw at her. The camera cut to show Jasmine jumping over a low throw, before Priya ran forward and threw one, then Cody throwing one, then Courtney throwing one before cutting to show Chef and Chris turning their heads back and forth.
The camera cut to show Cody taking one in the gut, signalling him out of the challenge, then Mk taking one to the face, signalling her out of the challenge. The camera then cut to show Cody walking to the bench, as the camera then faded, showing different members of the Gophers swapping in and out of the game. It returned to to the court to show more dodges, and throws, and catches, before cutting to the Bass bench where it showed the same fade of teammates swapping in and out.
It then stopped on Anne-Maria filing her nails, before a ball took her off the beach, and a few of her teammates around her smiled. "Oh, sweet karma." Jasmine muttered with a smile.
It cut to show Julia excitedly jogging onto the court, only to immediately be hit, causing Eva to tilt her head in shame and Mk to facepalm as she immediately walked back off. It showed a few more of the action, before Tyler was tapped on the shoulder by Courtney, signalling for her to go in with a smile.
He walked onto the court, much to Eva and MK's dismay. "Back of the court noodle arms." MK commented, causing him to sigh and walk there before MK was hit with the ball. Eva was suddenly faced with three balls, dodging two but unable to dodge the last one causing her to go out.
It was now left with Tyler and Dawn for the bass, whereas the Gophers had Jasmine and Scott. Dawn and Scott immediately threw balls at the same time, hitting each other, causing it to be down to just Tyler and Jasmine.
Jasmine eagerly smiled, even though she had none of the balls, before cutting to the Bass bench.
"Well, guess it's three losses in a row for us." Dave sighed.
"Oh come on, give him some encouragement!" Courtney said, hitting him on the back of the head.
"Come on Tyler, you got this!" Julia said, as the Bass bench began to loudly cheer, causing Tyler to start smiling. The Jock took a deep breath, and picked up two of his balls.
With his same spin motion, he managed to throw one nearly hitting Jasmine, which she narrowly dodged to her surprise, and somehow dodging the second one, leaving Tyler with two balls left. Tyler threw a ball slightly higher and slower, which Jasmine focused on, before looking back down to see Tyler threw a high speed ball at her which she just failed to avoid, hitting her in the side.
"Game over, much to literally everyone's surprise, Tyler has won it for the Killer Bass!" Chris exclaimed.
The camera cut to the Bass lifting Tyler in the air out of the dodgeball arena, before going to the Gophers looking rather dejected.
"Gophers, what happened!?" Chris asked.
"You win some you lose some, no biggie." Anne-Maria shrugged.
"Oh, you've got to be kidding me." Jasmine groaned in frustration, before walking off, followed by a few more of her teammates.
"What? Something I said?" Anne-Maria said to the teammates that remained, unbeknownst to the glares she was receiving.
xxx
"Did you see that! I've never played a game that good in my life!" Tyler cheered in the confessional. "Oh man, I wish someone got that on camera." He said in frustration towards the end.

The scene returned to show the Screaming Gophers at their first campfire ceremony, Cody, Zee, Damien, Jasmine, Priya and Anne-Maria in the backrow, with Sam, Scott, Zoey, Izzy, and Beth in the front row.
"Campers, you've already placed your votes and made your decision. One of you will be going home, and you can't come back. Ever. When you hear me call out your name, come pick up a marshmallow." The Host explained.
"Jasmine, Damien, Cody, Zee, Zoey, Beth, Izzy, Priya, Scott." Chris said, listing off the names as the first four walked in a line to get theirs, Zoey and Beth high fived as they walked up and Izzy, Priya and Scott followed with a smile.
"The final marshmallow goes to..." Chris said as the camera began to cut between a confident looking Anne-Maria and a terrified looking Sam.
"Sam." Chris said causing Anne-Maria to look rather shocked.
"Are you kidding me?" The Jersey Shore Reject scoffed. "You guys seriously kept game junkie over me!?" She exclaimed.
"Well, game junkie actually helped in today's challenge." Jasmine reasoned, narrowing her eyes at her.
"Any chance we can stop calling me game junkie?" Sam politely asked, but was ignored.
"Whatever, see if I care, who needs this stupid show anyway!" Anne-Maria said storming off.
"Okay, so it wasn't the most dramatic campfire ceremony ever." Chris said as the camera went up into the sky, and returned to him standing in front of the campfire ceremony alone. "But I still get paid! Bonus!" He said before the camera cut to black.
(Ending Credits)
Well, that's Dodgebrawl done and over with! So we see some movement on the Dave and Courtney ship, I hope you guys enjoyed that little joke as much as I did. Eva realising she needs to be a team player, and Tyler having a much different dodgebrawl than canon. I figured I'd give him his moment in the sun since I now realise how irrelevant he became in canon TDI after this episode to be honest.
Even though Anne-Maria is a character who can in theory kick butt in this AU, I'm not really her biggest fan and I didn't have much plot for her in RDI anyway so I figured I might as well cut her loose sooner rather than later if I have the chance.
Oh, one small note since I don't know if anyone noticed, but I skipped out the whole tagging out system in the challenge since I don't really like it when the rules are suddenly changed to suit the episode in canon, so I left it out of this AU, I hope that's fine with everyone.
And with that, I'm signing off,
- Toodles!
