Spectacular Webhead 11: Poor Cody indeed.

haydentrieu5501: Good to hear.

acosta perez jose ramiro: Oh the irony.

PrincessCrystalgem: Trust me, I definitely wanted to bring Cody further but having him around would prevent an elimination down the line.

Team Power: Eva, Ezekiel, Mal, Noah

Team Blizzard: Ella, Izzy, Sadie, Topher

Episode 17: Sweden Sour

"Last time, on Total Drama World Tour!" the host began as the plane icon was shown flying towards and over Australia on the season's world map. "Australia!" he said in an attempted accent as the scene panned across the Outback. "It will amaze you! If it doesn't kill you first." Team E-Scope were shown walking on their emus, then Izzy was shown getting attacked by a dingo.

"Here, Team Power were in a bit of turmoil as they were in their groups of two," the team were shown arguing in economy class. "But they still managed to pull out a win," the host added over a shot of them finding their logo on a sheep.

"Izzy and Sadie had a bit of trouble with the animals here," Izzy was shown moving slowly on her emu and Sadie went off to chase her sheep, "but Ezekiel was there to help his crush." Ezekiel pulled the lead of an emu over to Sadie.

"Meanwhile. Cody accidentally gave Mr. M the business, kanga-punch-aroo style," the host said over Cody running from a kangaroo and said kangaroo beating up Mal. "Mal's revenge, while hilarious, also cost Team Blizzard the win." Mal was shown throwing the dingo at Cody and making him fall.

"Thanks to Mal, Cody took the Drop of Shame," Chris finished over shots of Cody feeling woozy and him being thrown off the plane.

"Only eight remain," Cheis said as the scene flashed to the cockpit. "Who will get the boot next? Find out now, on Total! Drama! Woooorrrrlllddd~ Tooouuurrrr~!" As the shot zoomed out, a flock of geese passed above the plane.

The episode opened, as usual, on a shot of the plane in flight, then the scene flashed inside to economy class. A rat scurried out from a hole in the wall under one of the benches, and it quickly ran up Ella's dress. "I'm sorry, but I'm not in the mood to talk today," she told it gently. The rat understood and scurried away.

Ella let out a sigh until the scene dissolved into the last episode, where Topher was going to the restroom confessional after the challenge ended.

"I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I'd like a word with you," Ella said as she walked up from behind Topher.

"Go on," Topher gave the fairytale princess permission.

"You said that Mike was the one to throw the dingo at Cody, but why?" Ella wondered.

"It wasn't Mike," Topher said. "It's a new personality of his. A dark and twisted one named Mal. He revealed himself to me as someone who causes chaos. Naturally, I kinda vibed with him, but today he went too far."

"Cody did say that something was off," Ella remembered. "Did you two have an alliance together?"

"We are working together, and Mal likes to keep himself under wraps by acting like Mike around everyone since most of us don't even know about him," Topher described.

"He is doing a pretty good job at that," Ella commented. "Are you still going to work with that monster?"

"To be honest, I would rather not, but I know he'll get me eliminated if I go against him," Topher said back. "And for your safety, you should act like you don't even know who he is."

"But Mal will put us all in danger," Ella panicked. "There must be something we can do."

"There isn't for now," Topher sighed. "Let's just vote off Cody so he won't be on Mal's radar."

The Chris wannabe went into the restroom, leaving Ella alone to ponder on her decisions.

Confessional: Ella

"Topher has been working with Mal willingly just to advance in the game," Ella stated. "It was wrong, but it's a good thing he was sensible enough to inform me of his wrongdoings."

"Now that Cody is gone, it's up to me to warn Izzy and especially Sadie about Mal," she finished.

Confessional: Mal

"It's not enough for Cody to be out of my sight. He's been around Ella for some time, so that must mean the wannabe princess is on to me," Mal growled.

"Sadie is close to her, and if she also catches on, I'll be doomed for sure," Mal realized. "All I have to do is lie to Sadie and she'll believe me like the gullible fool she is."

Confessionals End

The scene moved to first class, where Team Power were eating cookies.

Mal's stomach began to growl, much to his dismay. "It seems I need to use the bathroom. Save some cookies for me." He got off his seat and went to the bathroom.

Noah took a bite of his cookie before saying "Don't know about you two, but something is definitely off with Mike."

"His stomach problems?" Ezekiel confusingly responded.

"Not that," Noah shook his head. "Have you noticed that he's been more crabby and surly?"

"Yeah. I kinda like it, but it's so weird," Eva nodded.

"He's probably trying to be more assertive and aware of the game," Ezekiel said.

"Even so, he wouldn't react to losing poorly or feel attacked by me, Eva, and Izzy cooperating," Noah said.

"He also seemed really furious with Cody when he merely made a conversation with him," Eva added.

"Now that doesn't sound like Mike at all," Ezekiel began to think about it. "What do we do about him?"

"Simple. We vote him out. I hate to do that since he's my friend, but he literally gives me no choice here," Noah confirmed.

"Ditto to that," Eva agreed.

Ezekiel shrugged. "I'll vote him off as well, but only if he does something wrong."

The camera panned to the left, where Mal had been secretly listening to their conversation from underneath the seats.

Confessional: Mal

"So it seems like my team is catching up to me, even Ezekiel," Mal grumbled to himself. "We are nearing the merge, so all I have to do is make sure my team wins this challenge."

Confessional Ends

The series's world map was shown as the plane icon flew in circles from Australia to Scandinavia.

The scene changed to a large field of ice, and the plane landed and immediately spun out of control as its occupants screamed. It crashed off-screen.

\

The scene skipped ahead to the eight contestants shivering out on the ice. Chris approached them in his pure white parka, saying "Welcome to Sweden!" in a thick and probably inaccurate accent.

"Where are the jackets you ordered for us in the Yukon?" Topher asked.

"Umm, I worked pretty hard on that accent," Chris said in offense. "It woulda been nice if somebody had commented."

"It's freezing out here!" Eva told him.

"Sweden, hello!" Chris told them with no care of their safety. He groaned, then turned around and walked back off-screen, muttering "Great,".

"I need to tell you something, and believe me when I say I'm being honest here," Ella whispered to Izzy.

"I don't see you as the lying type, unlike some people I know," Izzy thought to herself bitterly. "So what is it?"

"The reason Cody got attacked by a dingo was because of Mike," Ella mentioned.

"Wait a minute. Mike got Cody injured?" Izzy questioned Ella. "How?"

"I know you held on to the dingo from the last challenge, but do you recall lending it to Mike at any point?" Ella asked.

"Oh yeah. He wanted to pet the dingo," Izzy nodded eagerly before her face fell. "Now I see."

"Mike is being controlled by Mal to do these things," Ella warned her. "Do you believe me?"

"Of course I believe you," Izzy said. "I knew Mal looked so familiar."

Confessional: Izzy

"I've been to juvie before, and I heard stories about Mal and how psychotic he is," Izzy mentioned. "Now that he's here, he's probably the one that got Owen crushed by the plane."

Confessional Ends

Sadie turned around to talk to Mal. "So Mike, Cody said that you have an evil personality inside you? Is that true?"

"He was probably delirious from the dingo attack," Mal lied. "Your other teammates probably believed him, but I'm just letting you know that I'm still the same Mike."

"Thanks for letting me know, and I'll tell my team to stop judging you," Sadie promised.

"The jackets are here!" Chris announced suddenly, walking up with Chef. The eight contestants immediately paused what they'd been doing to cheer. "...in six to eight weeks," the host finished with a grin, as the cast groaned and glared and resumed shivering.

\

The scene cut to a long-distance shot of the cast on a snowy hill, overlooking two piles of something brown on the ice next to an unfrozen body of water.

"Before you is a mysterious pile of I-Build-A tools and pieces," Chris explained, the camera cutting in for a closer look and revealing the two piles as being mostly wooden planks with a few odds and ends among them. "Your first challenge is to use Allen keys, wooden sledgehammers, and your wits to turn your piles into...," the camera panned across a close-up of the two piles, "...whatever they're supposed to be when properly assembled."

"This will be done in a flash," Noah whispered confidently to his team, who nodded their agreement.

"Sadly," Chris continued, "the assembly instructions were 'accidentally' shredded when they were put through a shredder." He held out a wad of shredded paper. "Anywho, first team to correctly assemble their whatchawhosit will earn a big advantage in part two of the challenge! So...go!"

\

The scene moved to Team Blizzard examining their pile.

"We should lay the pieces out before we start building them," Sadie suggested.

"Like we'd have time for that," Topher countered, grabbing an oversized Allen key. "We need to work harder and faster."

"We don't even know what we're going to build yet," Sadie told him, getting into a tug of war over the Allen key.

Ella turned to Izzy, who was forming a plan in her brain. "What do you think we should do, Izzy?"

"Question," Izzy said, turning to look at her teammate. "Are you interested in pirates?"

Confessional: Izzy

"My plan is to build us a pirate ship," Izzy explained giddily. "With the limited supplies we have, we can't make it supreme, but I have pirate hats for us," she said as she pulled out a pirate hat.

Confessional Ends

The scene moved over to Team Power, where Mal and Eva were busy sorting through their pile of parts while Noah and Ezekiel were helping them and looking over at their opponents.

"Rather than arguing with each other, we should figure out what it is we're building," Noah said.

"We're going to need something big and round," Ezekiel said, looking over a row of large wooden arches of various sizes.

"And curved as well," Noah added, looking at the arches.

Ezekiel looked around at their items until a lightbulb went off in his head. "I have an idea!" He whispered into Noah's ear, and in turn, he whispered into Mal's ear, who whispered into Eva's ear.

"That plan is good, but we need to hide what we're doing from the other team," Noah said.

\

Back with Team Blizzard, an overhead shot showed that they'd managed to get most of their pile sorted out in a fairly organized fashion.

"Interesting," Ella said in thought. "We can certainly put these together to make a suitable ship."

Izzy brought out two wooden slingshots from the pile. "If we can't find any cannons here, then slingshots can be a good substitute for aiming."

"I think Izzy's pirate ship theme is good, but how are we going to make sure the other team doesn't copy our idea?" Sadie asked in concern.

"Probably because there's planning ahead already," Ella pointed behind her, the camera panning to show Team Power wheeling a large canvas divider between the two teams.

"Great plan you came up with, Zeke," Mal complimented the prairie boy insincerely, much to Ezekiel's confusion and Eva and Noah's apathy.

Confessional: Noah

"I know Mike's complimenting Ezekiel just to get on his good side so we wouldn't vote him off," Noah bluntly stated. "If that succeeds, we're going to struggle with our voting system."

Confessional Ends

The footage returned to Team Blizzard working on their ship, with the exception of Topher.

"We're making good progress, but it'd be nice if Topher helped," Sadie told her team as she hammered a nail.

Ella spotted Topher sneaking off to the other team. Narrowing her eyebrows, she got off the unfinished ship, walked up to Topher, and cleared her throat firmly, stopping him from moving.

"What do you think you're doing?" Ella glared at the boy. "You are supposed to be helping us."

"I was just going to take a peak at what Team Power was going to build. That way, we can make our ship stronger," Topher argued.

"I highly doubt that would work," Ella said. "One of them will spot you, and with Eva on that team, it will certainly end badly for you. Just stay on our side!"

"Alright then," Topher mumbled as they returned back to their team. "Just know that if we lose, it's because we didn't go through with my plan."

Ella was about to reply, but was cut off by the trademark ding of the musical number icon appearing on-screen.

"Time for a song," Chris announced happily, the camera zooming out to show him in the gap between the teams with all eyes on him. Team Power has a good chunk of their ship finished, while Team Blizzard was only just getting their frame constructed.

Ezekiel and Eva were peeking from their divider. "Remember not to mention our plans while we're singing," Eva reminded the homeschooler.

"I won't blab about it. I swear," Ezekiel promised.

/\/\/\

[A disco tune began as the camera followed Izzy and Sadie back over to their pile of ship parts.]

"They're probably done, so we have to go!"

[Izzy opened, singing to Sadie while focusing on the other team.]

"We can do a pirate ship, but it has to roo~oww!"

[Sadie said as they reached the ship pieces; Alejandro holding up one of the frame ribs as Zoey hammered it to the keel.]

"We need to finish this ship!

[Ella added as the camera panned to the fairytale princess walking over to the work area as well.]

"And make the pieces equip!"

[The three girls finished together; the visuals abruptly changed to the silhouettes of the three singers of Team Blizzard against a Swedish flag; they appeared to be holding microphones and wearing different outfits.]

"So we can win first class!"

[The light returned and the Swedish flag was replaced with an image of their ideal ship, revealing them standing on a disco floor bobbing to the beat and wearing garish and glittery disco suits with platform shoes and bellbottoms. Sadie was on the left in orange with a pleated fringe around her waist and extra-puffy sleeves; Izzy was in the middle in light green with a rather plain collar, and her leg area had multiple pant layers. On the right was Ella in red, her bellbottoms pleated and multi-leveled and her short-collared top in possession of a long cape.]

[Abruptly, the half-finished ship of Team Power dropped down over Team Blizzard. The camera zoomed in on it as Noah rose up in a glittering suit of his own: a dark blue with the front open a fairways and the collar tall and pointed.]

"It's almost ready to set sail!"

[Noah sang, then bobbed his head to the beat.]

"Just hammering in the final nail!"

[Ezekiel sang next, the scene changing as abruptly as the subject as he was shown hammering a pink coffin with the Blizzard logo on the front. He was wearing a dark green glittering suit with a wide collar.]

"Oh-oh-oh!"

[Sadie, Ella, and Izzy sang, suddenly coming out of the coffin.]

"We really built this fast!"

[Mal sang as the scene cut to him. He wore purple, the front open down to his chest to reveal a hairless chest and a gold omega on a chain.]

"We will be off in a blast!"

[Noah and Ezekiel sang next, both of them disco dancing as they walked over to their teammate.]

"It's clear we'll win first class!"

[All three boys sang together, dancing a more complicated routine in sync.]

"We'll win first class!"

[Team Blizzard sang together, also disco dancing in line with one another.]

"Time to leave them in the grass!"

[Team Power replied, the camera moving to them still singing and dancing in line with another while Team Blizzard held their last word.]

"We know we'll win first cllllaaaassss!"

[Team Blizzard repeated, the camera slowly zooming out as they held the last note. A larger side-view of Sadie faded in on the right side of the screen as the main shot of the team faded away.]

"Aaaa-eee-yeah-eee-yeah!"

[The thrill seeker warbled before the shot cut back to the original footage, showing her and Ella sitting on their ship.]

"We'll win first class!"

[The two sang together as the camera slowly panned out one again.]

"Eee-yeah-eee-yeah-eee-yeah-eee-yeah!"

[Izzy finished, sliding on her knees across the ice from right to left, stopping in front of Topher.]

\/\/\/

"Nice job with that finishing move there," Topher told Izzy.

"It's no biggie," Izzy replied.

\

As the scene cut back to the challenge, Team Power had finished their ship: There was a row of colorful shields along the side, and a draconic figurehead in place. Moments later, Chris walked over to them with a sack in hand.

"Nice!" Chris grinned. "Team Power takes the lead, and she's a beauty!" He tossed the sack down on the ice, and Ezekiel bent down to open it. "Here's your reward for finishing first."

"Rocks?" Ezekiel said, lifting his head in confusion as the camera cut in for a shot of the sack full of small, oddly-shaped stones. "We're going to shoot the ships with rocks?"

Chris ignored the comment and began to explain. "Now, drag your ship to open water and sail north until you find Chef to receive your next instructions."

Eva promptly took action, declaring "I'll pull from the bow!".

"And we'll take to stern," Noah answered.

"Start moving!" Mal replied.

Eva ran to the front of the ship, the camera cutting over to show her dragging the ship from a rope tied around her chest. The boys were stunned at her strength, but they moved to the back of the ship to push.

\

"I'm done!" Topher declared as he finished pounding in what looked like the last plank.

"We're finished here too!" Ella added as she and Sadie hung the last of their bone-crossed shields.

"Vamonos! Vamonos!!" Izzy commanded, front flipping onto the ship.

Topher tore off his shirt, then dashed towards the front of the ship. "Time for the Topher Experience!" He winked at the camera and showed off his body. "I'll pull from the bow! You girls will have to push!"

"Got it," Sadie nodded, and the girls dashed off toward the stern.

The shot cut to the stern of Team Power's ship, where Noah, Ezekiel, and Mal were pushing with all their might. "They're finished!" Mal exclaimed as he looked back. "We have to push faster!"

Ezekiel, unlike the two boys, was pushing the ship while jogging. He slipped on his feet and landed on the ice, and their eyes widened at the sound of cracks. "This doesn't sound good eh," Ezekiel gulped.

Confessional: Ezekiel

"My shoes aren't in the best condition to be on ice," Ezekiel notified the viewers. "The soles can be easily replaced though."

Confessional Ends

The camera showed Eva looking around in confusion from the bow and Chris standing in the foreground and facing Team Power's ship. "The ice is cracking!" Chris yelled to the camera.

"Will an accident kill us all?" he asked the camera in a barely-contained panic. "Stick around to find out on Total! Drama! World Tour!" He then turned around, yelled "Every host for himself!" and ran away.

\

(Commercial Break)

\

The episode resumed on a close-up of the spreading cracks, a dramatic tune playing as they reached the hull of Team Power's ship, still being dragged along the ice towards open water.

"Get on the ship!" Eva cried as she was already on the ship.

The camera panned to the stern as Mal and Noah jumped onto the ship, then Ezekiel jumped up and clung to the side as well. The ice broke apart beneath them, putting the ship on open water. Their main sail unfurled, caught the wind, and propelled them forward.

"Everybody in!" Izzy said as the scene moved to her and her teammates quickly jumping onto their ship before the ice cracked and left the ship floating on the water.

"Is everyone good?" Sadie asked before their own sail caught the wind. "Now let's get 'em!" she declared dramatically.

\

The scene flashed to a close-up of Mal smiling.

"Nice slip and fall back there!" Mal declared. "You saved us!"

"Team Blizzard could've been endangered too, so I don't feel comfortable with this attention," Ezekiel awkwardly stated.

"Definitely," Noah said, the shot panning to the stern to show him manning the tiller. "It's not completely a win-win."

"As long as we're in the lead, I'm going to forget about that near-death experience," Eva said.

Confessional: Eva

"Don't get me wrong. I won't let people die just so I can win, but if they're at a disadvantage, I'll take advantage of their disadvantage," Eva explained.

Confessional Ends

"Can't this ship go any faster?" Topher complained as the scene moved back to Team Blizzard.

"I'm sorry," Ella sarcastically said, manning the tiller at the stern, "but this ship was not built for speed."

"If only I had my rockets from home, we could reach the dock before Team Power, scallywags," Izzy donned a pirate accent.

"We just have to go with the wind," Ella said and looked up at their sail. "And why are you talking like a pirate?"

"Because we are pirates for this challenge, Ellie," Izzy continued to talk in her pirate accent.

Confessional: Ella

"Izzy's playfulness isn't hindering us so far, so her pirate facade can stay for now," Ella said.

Confessional Ends

Team Power was shown pulling up to a dock where Chef was waiting with a horned helmet in his hand. Like the host, he too was dressed for the weather, wearing a sleeveless orange-and-blue down jacket and an ushanka with the ear flaps down.

"We get helmets?" Ezekiel asked as he and his team disembarked. He reached out to take it, but Chef quickly moved it away.

"Uh-uh," Chef told him. "Gotta pick a captain first."

"Ezekiel!" Mal said enthusiastically.

"I was just about to say that," Noah complained.

"But you didn't," Eva pointed out.

"You all like Ezekiel. It's beautiful," Chris told them as he walked up to join them and Ezekiel took off his hat for Chef to shove the helmet down onto the sheltered boy's head. "Ezekiel, if this were a Valentine's dance, you'd have a very difficult choice to make. Luckily, it's war!" As he spoke, Chef drove up the dock in a small power crane and lowered a cannon onto Team Power's ship.

"If we get cannons and viking hats, then I'm all for being the captain here," Ezekiel accepted, he and his teammates looking at the cannon as Chef backed the crane back up the dock.

"So the rocks are actually flints?" Noah asked after a moment of thought.

"Bingo, dingoes!" Chris answered, his smile briefly fading as he added "Nuts, I shoulda said that last week in Australia." He quickly resumed his hosting demeanor, looking back at the teens to say "And to fire out of the cannon, Chef's famous Swedish meatballs!" He motioned behind him, where his assistant now stood with a plate of three large, dark meatballs.

"You say meatballs, I say non-edible black rocks," Noah snorted.

"To win the challenge and travel first class, sail north to capture the red flag, way over yonder." As Chris was talking, the perspective moved to the end of the dock looking out at the water, the camera quick-zooming forward to show a buoy with a red flag tied to it far, far in the distance. "Ooorr," the host added as the shot cut back to him, "use your meatballs to sink the enemy ship. Good luck, Captain Zeke!"

"Call me Captain Ezekiel," Ezekiel corrected.

"Now...go away," Chris said.

Ezekiel started walking back down the dock. "Alright, Power team, we have a challenge to win."

\

The scene skipped forward, showing the sail of Team Power furling and catching wind, the shot pulling back to show their ship moving out backwards from the dock with Noah at the tiller.

"So what's the plan, captain Z?" Noah asked the captain.

"Here's what we do," Ezekiel answered. "We already have the lead, so we go for the flag and use the cannon to fend off Team Blizzard if they come in close on us."

"That's pretty easy," Noah smirked.

"Knowing Chris, he'll probably throw tricks at us, so watch out for those," Ezekiel added, and their ship passed by Team Blizzard coming into the dock.

Confessional: Ezekiel

"When I was little, I would occasionally play vikings with my mom. I studied a bit of their history and how they operate, so being the leader of this challenge will be simple," Ezekiel confessed.

Confessional Ends

Another cannon was shown being lowered into Team Blizzard's ship by Chef and his crane; the camera followed him as he backed up, and caught the four members of the team discussing the horned helmet Chris was holding out for them; the plate of three meatballs was already in Sadie's hands.

"Someone's gotta wear the hat and be captain," Chris explained to the four.

Ella stepped up to Chris. "I'm the captain. No ifs, ands, or buts."

"Okay, but we are wearing these pirate hats?" Izzy pulled four of the aforementioned clothing out. "We built a pirate ship."

"Whatever," Chris allowed it gleefully. "It'll be pirates versus vikings then."

Izzy put a scarf hat on herself and tossed a bicorn hat to Ella, a small brim hat to Sadie, and a tricorn hat to Topher, with each hat consisting of a skull and crossbones in the front.

"These hats are indeed appealing," Ella said while putting on her hat, "but we need matches to light the cannon."

"I'm sure you'll think of something," Chris shrugged impishly. "Buh-bye!" he waved with a devious grin.

\

"I hate how far ahead they are," Sadie said as the footage skipped ahead to show Team Blizzard pulling away from the dock. "How are we going to get to the flag before them?"

"I may have an idea," Topher looked at the cannon, holding the meatballs while Izzy manned the tiller.

"What would that be?" Sadie wondered.

"We need to slow them down long enough for us to grab the flag," Topher pointed out. "Ramming them or shooting these meatballs will do the trick."

\

"We're almost there!" Eva shouted from the bow of his team's ship.

"The other team is gaining on us!" Mal countered, leaning off the starboard side and looking backwards.

"They probably caught the wind faster than we did!" Eva said. "We need to turn the cannon around!"

Ezekiel and Noah moved toward the weapon and began to push it around.

\

The scene flashed over to Team Blizzard, the camera lingering on their full and billowed sail before panning down to the crewmembers. "We might be gaining on them!" Ella said hopefully. "Your steering is perfect, Izzy!"

"I'll keep steering if you stick to being the captain," Izzy replied from the back of the ship.

"Just because we caught a great wind, doesn't mean it'll be enough. We need to get in range and figure out how to fire the canon," Sadie said.

"I'm already on that," Ella assured her.

The cut over to Team Power as Ezekiel watched his opponents sail closer.

"Good news!" Ezekiel grinned. "They're in range." He looked over at his teammates, then said "Fire!"

The cannon was already in position pointed backwards, so Eva quickly loaded a meatball into it then Mal rubbed two of their flints together to light the fuse. Both ducked and plugged their ears as the cannon fired, the meatball hurtling through the air.

At the bow of Team Blizzard's ship, the three girls and one boy gasped, then darted back as the shot crashed through the side of the hull. "Blast it!" Izzy cried.

"We have to fire now!" Ella told Topher in an assertive tone.

"I'm ahead of you!" Topher said, quickly grabbing a meatball and running it towards the cannon. He loaded it in, then looked and grabbed two stick-sized pieces of wood that had splintered off when the ship had been hit. He speedily rubbed them together until they caught fire then used them to light the fuse, and the cannon went off with a bang.

"Look out!" Noah said, all members of his team standing at the stern of their ship. They quickly ducked down, and the camera cut to them crouched and braced for an impact...that never came, the meatball seemingly splashing into the water ahead of the bow.

"Wow! You guys missed us!" Eva stood up and taunted.

"They didn't," Mal said with a look upwards.

The camera followed Mal's gaze up to the sail, which now had a fairly large hole in it. "We're slowing down!" Noah cried as the shot cut back to the deck of the ship.

"That's why we sink them!" Ezekiel commanded, running back to the tiller as his team readied their second shot.

The focus moved back to Team Blizzard as they heard the shot being fired from their various spots on deck; they quickly scrambled ducked out of the way only for it to crash down just off their starboard side.

"Izzy!" Ella said. "Swim to the flag and grab it!"

"Why?" Izzy asked in confusion.

"Our objective is to grab the flag," Ella explained. "He didn't say we had to be on the ship when we did that."

The shot quick-panned far to left, landing on Chris watching the challenge on the dock through a pair of binoculars. He lowered them, turned to the camera, and grinned. "She's right about that!"

"Good thing I'm suitable to swim in cold water!" Izzy dove into the water and began swimming to the flag.

The scene cut back to Team Power, who had seen the psycho hose beast dive into the water.

"She's going to the flag before we sink the ship!" Ezekiel said in shock.

"I'm going to take a page from their book then," Eva told her team, jumping off the bow while Noah started trying to adjust the cannon.

An aerial view of the water showed the two ships drawing closer to one another and the two swimmers getting closer to the flag. The camera cut to Ella to show her looking off from the tiller of her ship.

"Eva's swimming for the other team?" Ella called out. "Izzy needs to kick her feet faster if we want to stop them!"

"We can also stop them with this!" Topher replied as he tried to get the stick lit while Sadie loaded the cannon.

Ella was looking at the swimmers, and accidentally leaned on the tiller and made the ship swerve.

The camera immediately cut over to Topher and Sadie as the ship suddenly rocked and swerved. Caught off-guard, Topher stumbled and accidentally lit the cannon's fuse.

"I didn't aim it yet!" Sadie said in shock just before the cannon fired; the camera followed the shot as it went wide and missed the enemy ship.

Confessional: Sadie

"That was embarrassing, even if I didn't complete my aim yet," Sadie sheepishly admitted.

Confessional Ends

"Ready the last shot! This may be our only chance!" Ezekiel called back to Noah.

"There's no need for that anymore!" Noah announced as he and Mal saw Eva swimming back. Mal hauled her back up to the ship by her arm.

"I have the flag!" Eva declared, the camera zooming on on the piece of cloth as it was raised up high.

"Team Power wins!" Chris announced, the shot pulling back as he rode up on a jet ski. "Amazons, see you at elimination."

Izzy regrouped with her dejected team holding their flag. "Arrgh!" she pouted in her accent.

\

The footage cut ahead to the plane back in flight, and then into the cargo hold where Sadie and Ella were now meeting.

"So why did you bring me here?" Sadie started the conversation.

"I wanted to tell you about what's happening to Mike," Ella said.

"What about Mike?" Sadie asked in annoyance.

"Haven't you noticed how evil he's become?" Ella asked. "He's this alter named Mal."

"Mal?" Sadie raised an eyebrow.

"Yes. Apparently Mike has another personality he never told us about," Ella said.

"Do I have to say this to you?" Sadie huffed. "Mike! Is! Himself!"

Ella glared at her friend. "He isn't. What about Duncan and Cody? They seem to be under the impression Mike isn't Mike."

"They're not here anymore, so I can't listen to what they have to say," Sadie retorted. "Mike told me that he's been cranky lately, but he's fine."

"Mal's lying to you because he knows you're too gullible to listen to actual evidence from people," Ella shot back.

"You said Heather's not all that bad and you stopped us from being hostile to her, and now you want to treat a nice guy rudely?" Sadie snapped back. "I thought you were supposed to be sweet."

"I am not being rude," Ella replied in offense. "I am looking out for our safety, and you don't know me well if you want to accuse me of being something I'm not."

"Maybe we shouldn't be BFFFLS if you're going to badmouth our friends!" Sadie yelled.

"Fine by me if you want to be naive and disregard people trying to give you information!" Ella shouted back.

Sadie then walked away from the scene with a huff as her eyes began to tear up.

"All losers please report to the elimination area," Chris's voice said over the loudspeaker as Mal's shadow streaked across the background while Ella started to be teary-eyed. "All losers!"

Confessional: Mal

"Oh how I love the smell of broken friendships and crushed spirits in the morning," Mal sighed wistfully. "I just have to convince Topher to vote one of these girls next, and it's obvious who it is."

Confessional Ends

The focus moved to the elimination room, the logo of Team Blizzard appearing on-screen over the smiling host and seated teens.

"Ahh, the elimination room" Chris began, drawing the cast and camera's attention. "This is where one of you will be tossed into the darkness," he gleefully gestured towards the exit, "to plummet out of my life and possibly to the end of your own. And since this is not a reward challenge, that will happen tonight."

He grabbed the barf bags and handed them out to "Topher, Izzy, and Sadie!" The three caught their peanuts. "You three get to stay in my life for now."

Accepting her loss, Ella glumly stood up and grabbed her parachute pack, much to Chris's surprise. "You're taking this really well," the host said.

"I already lost my best friend. Anything else is pretty much numb to me," Ella sighed. Izzy and Topher frowned at her depressed state while Sadie sadly looked down to the ground.

Even Chris couldn't hide his sympathy from her. "I think you'll get better quickly if you jump off the plane."

Ella turned to the door and saw a flock of doves waiting outside for her. She allowed them to carry her body out the door and into the sky.

"I will not understand her connection to animals," Chris said as the opening drumbeats of the series' capstone then played. "As we speak, Team Power is getting their reward: Swedish massages performed by a genuine registered massage therapist." The team groaned about their missed prize.

"What other kinds of therapists will our competitors need before the season's over?" Chris asked the camera. "Find out next time, on Total! Drama! World Tour!"

The plane turned up and to its right in the final zoomed-out shot, and flew away as the episode ended.

(Bonus Clip)

The clip opened up to Ella being flown in the sky by the doves. "I thought I would be having fun this season," she sighed. "I got to sing more often and I was able to share a team with my best friend."

"Now look at what happened. Someone is going to make everybody suffer, a friend of mine got harmed for no good reason, and my best friend and I are no longer on good terms," she lamented.

After a while, the doves dropped off Ella at her team's ship and flew away. "Now if you'll excuse me, I want to be left alone for now." She sat down and began to cry again.

Author's Note: Remember how I kept hammering in that Cody's elimination would have interfered with another elimination. This was the one I was talking about. If Cody had stuck around, there would need to be a tiebreaker since Ella was not going to be voted off by Cody. In case you're confused how the voting went down, Sadie and Topher voted for Ella due to Mal's influence, Ella voted for Sadie to wanting to protect her, and Izzy voted off Topher because she disliked him the most. Having Cody around would mean that Ella and Izzy might have ended up voting together or a tie would have to occur, obviously neither option seemed appealing so I took Cody out.

So yeah, Sadie and Ella have broken their friendship. Quite a tragedy isn't it? Hopefully it didn't seem to contrived given the whole Mal situation was tearing them apart.
