The scene opens on Chris, standing on the pier. "Last time, on Total Drama All Stars." Flashbacks of the previous episode start playing. "Bart discovered Kim has a crush on Light, because the series wasn't dramatic enough already. Finn recruited Alice to help remove Light from the show, a plan that doesn't seem to be working for him. The contestants competed to create a staircase into my new beach house, and after a little sabotage from Bart, Finn was sent home for breaking and entering, though Ash nearly took the fall." The scene cuts back to Chris standing on the pier. "Will Light's reign of terror continue now that Finn's gone? Will Light make good on his promise to Bart? And . . ." At this point, a large helicopter flew fairly low overhead, landing in the middle of the camp. "What the hell is with the chopper? Find out, right here, on Total Drama All Stars."
Intro song plays
The scene returns with the helicopter landing near the cabins, and members of Kyoya's family's secret police force jump out. Kim comes out of one of the cabins yawning. "What's going on?" she asked. "Is Chris getting arrested for recklessly endangering lives?"
"Not yet," said one of them, clearly their leader. "We have been instructed to, and I quote, 'beat the living crap out of one Light Yagami, then beat the living crap out of the living crap previously beaten out of him.'"
"Is that so?" said Light, calmly approaching the dozen or so men secret police officers. "While I respect that you have your orders to follow, I feel we should discuss this matter in a more peaceful manner, don't you?"
"Our orders are quite clear," said the leader.
"But surely I can't be blamed for my lack of knowledge about Haruhi's habits," said Light. "I only knew her for a few hours. Besides, how did she feel about her elimination?"
"I . . . guess she wasn't disappointed by it," said the leader.
"How about when I'm done on this show, I call you and we can sit down and talk about our problems," said Light, pulling out a black notebook. "May I ask your name?"
"Err, okay . . ." said the leader. "My name is Samuel Maxwell, and my number is . . ." Samuel gave Light his number, which he wrote in the notebook.
"Okay, with that sorted, I guess I'll be seeing you gentlemen in the near future," said Light. "Until we meet again, farewell."
"Farewell, Mr Yagami," said Samuel, leading his men back into the helicopter, looking somewhat confused. As they took off, Kim looked admiringly at Light, before leaving.
Confession Cam: Kim
"Wow. I mean, even faced with a beat down from a dozen large men, Light is such a gentleman. He's so civilised. That just made him totally hotter."
Confession Cam: Light
Light holds up the page of the notebook he just wrote in. It reads 'Samuel Maxwell orders his men to get back in the helicopter, and on their way back home the helicopter has engine troubles and crashes into the ocean. No survivors.' "What was that? Yes Ryuk, I know it's cheating, but since when have I been playing this game fairly?"
Confession Cam: Sabriel
"I felt a great disturbance in Death, as if a dozen voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened."
Meanwhile, near the woods . . .
"Guys, what are we going to do about Light?" asked Katniss.
"Simple. We eliminate him at the next opportunity," said Alice.
"Do we have the support to do that?" asked Murtagh.
"We should," said Alice. "There's eight members left on our team. We have agreed to work together, so that's three votes right there. Light won't vote for himself, so that's four members accounted for."
"Do you know how the rest of them will vote?" asked Katniss.
"If Katniss or I ask Zidane, he'll join without question," said Alice. "He'll join if Murtagh asks, but he'll want an explanation. I know he's a bit of a creep, but he's a good guy at heart. Marty and Carly will only help if Light moves against them, and Rachel will only help if there's something in it for her."
"So, as far as numbers go, we should be able to remove him," said Murtagh. "I hesitate to bring this up, but would either of you consider losing the next challenge on purpose to get rid of him?"
"WHAT?! NO!" yelled Katniss. She moved to attack Murtagh, but Alice held her back.
"Katniss is right," said Alice. "Light needs to go, but if we deliberately lose a challenge, Light is likely to pick up on it. He's a very smart guy, as much as I hate to admit it. He'll use that as a reason to remove one of us, something we can't afford if we are to get rid of him."
"Yes, I guess you're right," said Murtagh. "Sorry I brought it up Katniss. I just thought it might be a viable option."
"It's okay Murtagh," said Katniss. "I just don't want to risk saying something that can be used against us. I wouldn't rule out that Light has some way of learning this sort of information."
As luck would have it, Bart was listened eagerly in the bushes as the three Sharks disbanded.
Confession Cam: Bart
"Now this is a scoop. Murtagh is considering tanking so his team can get rid of Light. Light will know how to use that against him. And even better, I don't think Alice suspects that I was spying on them because she doesn't know about our alliance. I think we're in the clear."
"Campers, meet me outside the cabins for today's challenge," said Chris. "And you may want to arm yourself for this one."
"What fresh hell is this?" said Wallace, rolling out of bed to assemble with the other campers.
A few minutes later, outside the cabins . . .
"Campers, today's challenge is going to be a dangerous one," said Chris.
"So, it's an average day then?" asked Marty.
"Pretty much," said Chris. "Anyway, your challenge today is to kill a giant spider that's been running around camp."
"Are you sure?" asked Rachel. "Because, in preparation for this show, I watched every episode of the first four seasons, and the giant spider turned out to be Izzy."
"Yeah, that's what we thought too," said Chris. "But, the spider was last sighted last night, which is also the night that Total Drama All Stars Aftermath went to air live. Since Izzy was there, that means we must have an actual giant spider running around camp. And it's probably poisonous, so, yeah, you'll have to deal with that too."
Unnoticed to everyone, from the moment Chris said 'spider', Annabeth had practically frozen up with fear.
"Okay, so by 'giant'," started Carly. "Do you mean large by spider standards and would still be killed by a shoe, or really freaking huge?"
"I mean really freaking huge," confirmed Chris. "I think it might have eaten a few interns. So, if you guys find them while it's digesting you, tell them they're fired. We believe it might be hiding somewhere in the scary looking woods, so it really does know how to freak you out. Well, good luck!"
The two teams immediately scrambled into the woods, though Annabeth was well behind the others.
"Okay guys, a giant spider will likely have a giant web, so if you become entangled in something, scream," said Zidane. "I'll be there as soon as possible ladies. No need to worry about a thing."
"Great to know," said Rachel. "Except we've already lost Carly." Sure enough, the entire team minus Carly was there.
"Maybe she got lost?" said Marty, but no-one from the group seemed confident about this.
Meanwhile, with the Striking Vipers, Annabeth was at the back of the group, holding her knife as tightly as possible. Despite the warm day, she was shaking like a leaf. Kim noticed this and slowed her pace a bit. "Hey, Annabeth," said Kim, putting one hand comfortingly on her shoulder. Annabeth, who wasn't looking at Kim at the time, and hadn't actually heard her speak, spun around swinging the bronze blade quite fast. "Whoa, easy there, it's just me," said Kim.
"Oh, sorry Kim," said Annabeth. "I'm just really on edge for this challenge."
"Why?" asked Kim. "You're not afraid of spiders are you?" Annabeth didn't reply, but the look on her face said everything. "Oh my God, you ARE afraid of spiders."
"Shh, not so loud," said Annabeth. "Yes, I'm afraid of spiders. It's a fear all children of Athena share. But please, for the love of the gods, do NOT tell anyone, or I'll tell everyone about your little crush on Light."
"Kim has a crush on Light?" said Kevin, who had also hung back and overheard their conversation without their knowledge.
The entire team looked at Kim in shock, except Sabriel and Bart (though Bart was faking astonishment).
"How could you Kim," demanded Ayane. "That *beep* is a sly, manipulative, arrogant . . ."
"Easy there Ayane," said Wallace. "As long as Kim doesn't act on it, and as long as Light doesn't find out about it to exploit it, there shouldn't be a problem. And can you really blame her? I mean, he is pretty cute."
The entire team gave Wallace a strange look at this point. "Umm, you ARE a guy right?" asked Kevin.
"Yeah, so?" asked Wallace.
"Alright, well, I'm not one to judge," said Sabriel. "Also, I think I should point out that Ash and Bart have disappeared." Sure enough, the Vipers suddenly noticed they were missing two of their players.
"*beep*, the spider got them," said Annabeth.
"You can't possibly know that," said Wallace.
"Actually, she can," said Kim, pointing up. The team looked up, and above them was a giant spider with three bodies wrapped up in its web.
"Apparently it got one of the Giant Sharks too," said Ayane, drawing Genra's sword. Beside her, Kim and Sabriel also prepared to take on the spider.
Sabriel drew Saraneth the Binder, but before she could sound it, the spider shot a web and bound her hand up, silencing any sound the bell could make. Kim drew her grappling-hook-hairdryer, and fired it at a branch behind the spider. As she was pulling herself up, Ayane quickly climbed the tree and swung her blade at the spider. The spider managed to dodge, and in the same movement sunk its poisonous fangs into her. Ayane, being a strong ninja, knew she'd survive the poison easily, but that didn't stop her falling from the tree, knocking her out. The spider turned on Kim, who was trying to free Ash. By the time she realised what had happened to Ayane, she was bound in web herself. Seeing no more threats in the tree, the spider dropped to the ground.
Sabriel had just managed to free her hand when the spider landed on top of her. It quickly bound her entirely before she could do anything, and then shot its web and Kevin and Wallace, binding them to a tree. There was only one member of the Striking Vipers still standing: Annabeth, the only one with arachnophobia. Ironic, no?
"Quick Annabeth, kill it," called Kevin. "It's only a foot in front of you. Kill it. NOW!"
But Annabeth was frozen in fear. Well, frozen until she curled up in the foetal position and cried.
"Don't worry Vipers, help has arrived," called a voice. Everyone who could still move turned around, and saw Zidane, Alice, Katniss and Murtagh emerge from the woods. "Don't worry Annabeth, the Z-man has arrived."
"She's already got a boyfriend, Zidane," said Alice. "Even if he has been M. I. A. for months, they're still together." Turning back to the spider, she continued. "I'll free the hostages. You guys think you can take this thing?"
Murtagh drew his sword, Katniss her bow, and Zidane his daggers. "No problem," said Katniss. As she said this, the screen suddenly blurred. This was followed by several scenic shots of the landscape. The scene returned with the spider making a sort of growling sound, and the three fighters standing in a horizontal line in front of it, though Katniss was slightly further back than the other two. All three were sort of swaying on the spot.
"What the hell is this?" asked Murtagh. "I can't move forward and attack this thing."
"That's because your ATB gauge hasn't charged yet," said Zidane.
"My what?" asked Murtagh.
"Ooh, my turn," said Zidane, ignoring Murtagh's question. Zidane jumped forward and swung his hand out. As he jumped back, a text box popped up saying 'Stole Antidote'.
"Seriously, what the *beep* is going on here?" demanded Katniss. "Why am I further back than you guys?"
"You're in the back row," said Zidane like it was no big deal. "That's where archers normally go. Speaking of go, you can attack now."
Katniss stared at him like he was insane, but then just shrugged and fired an arrow at the spider. The thing recoiled in pain, but was still standing. The number 363 appeared above its head. "Zidane, would you care to explain any of this?" asked Katniss.
"You did 363 damage to it," said Zidane. Katniss and Murtagh wanted to stop asking questions for the rest of the battle, but the obscurity of the situation prevented that.
The spider suddenly leapt forward and bit Murtagh. He recoiled, but didn't seem particularly injured. The number 153 appeared above his head. Murtagh then jumped up and slashed the spider. Like with Katniss, it recoiled but stayed up, and the number 858 appeared above its head.
It was Zidane's turn again, and again he swung he hand forward. This time, the box said 'Couldn't steal anything'.
"Dammit Zidane, stop trying to rob it and start trying to kill it," said Murtagh.
"But something this strong must have some really good items," said Zidane.
"Can't you steal from it once we've killed it?" asked Katniss, firing an arrow and dealing another 253 damage to it.
"It hasn't worked before," said Zidane. "Normally the enemy disappears once it's dead." As he said this, the spider bit him, dealing 98 to him. Zidane suddenly started to glow pink.
"Should we even ask?" Murtagh asked Katniss as he attacked the spider, dealing 747 damage to it.
"Nah, I've kinda tuned out of what's going on," said Katniss.
"Alright, Trance mode," said Zidane, ignoring them. "Let's end this. TIDAL FLAME!" Suddenly, a tidal wave made of fire rose from Zidane, engulfing the spider and causing 1958 damage to it. The spider shrieked, then fell over dead before disappearing. A blast of cheery music seemed to play from somewhere as the trio celebrated their victory.
"What was that sound?" asked Katniss.
"I don't know," said Zidane. "It always seems to play whenever I win a fight."
"Congratulation Giant Sharks," said Chris, seeming to come out of nowhere the second the challenge finished. "You've beaten the spider, and will not be sending someone home. Vipers, you are today's losers. You must decide who to get rid of. See you at elimination." As he left, the Striking Vipers looked around themselves (if they were conscious), deciding who to get rid of.
Confession Cam: Ayane
"I'm voting for Kim. Seriously, of all the guys in this contest to get a crush on, why Light? He's a proven villain, and she's meant to be a crime fighter. I am not cool with people selling out their morals."
Confession Cam: Annabeth
"I still want Bart gone."
Confession Cam: Kevin
"Annabeth could have stuck her knife into that spider's brain and killed it. Instead, she curls up and cries like a little girl. I'm voting for her."
Confession Cam: Bart
"After what Annabeth did, I like my odds of getting rid of her. Seeya."
At the elimination ceremony that evening. . .
"Okay campers," said Chris. "There are eight of you here, but only seven marshmallows. Those of you who receive a marshmallow will be safe . . . for now. That leaves one of you a loser, who will take the Blast of Shame and will never be allowed to return. Ever. The following campers are safe." As Chris read each of these names, he threw them a marshmallow. "Kevin. Wallace. Bart. Ash. Sabriel. Ayane." Chris looked at Kim and Annabeth, the two remaining campers. "Campers, there is only one marshmallow left on this plate. One of the two of you is going home. The final marshmallow of the night goes to . . ." The camera jumped between the two nervous looking girls for several seconds. "Kim." The final marshmallow landed softly in Kim's hand. Bart fist-pumped the air.
"Are you *beep* me?" demanded Annabeth. "Bart's a freaking nuisance, and you're getting rid of me?"
"You should have thought about that before you basically threw the challenge for us," said Wallace.
"Guys, please, you have to get rid of Bart next. I think he's . . ." But before Annabeth could finish what she was saying, Chef had covered her mouth, dragged her to the cannon, and fired her out.
"I need to have a word to Chris about getting a bigger role this season," he said, before strolling off-screen.
Meanwhile in a studio, Chris was watching several monitors. "Hmm, I'll think about it.," said Chris. "Will the Striking Vipers heed Annabeth's warning? Will Light and Kim get together? And what's this I hear about a helicopter crash near the Island? Find out the answers to all these questions next time or soon, right here, on Total Drama All Stars."
