The scene opens on Chris, standing on the pier. "Last time on Total Drama All Stars." Flashbacks of the previous episode start playing. "While cleaning up her stuff, Katniss discovered a month old note from Ayane. This led to her team conspiring to remove Marty, but never actually saying anything directly. Well, maybe once. Anyway, the challenge was for the contestants to drink a gallon of milk in under an hour and not spew longer than the others. PSYCH! It was actually a challenge to see who could avoid drinking a big mouthful of tabasco the longest. Due to his 'thief's instinct', Zidane won the challenge, leaving the other competitors red faced, though not from embarrassment. Despite the votes favouring Bart as the eliminated competitor, Marty left when he was kidnapped by the Doc." The scene cuts back to Chris on the dock. "Who will be a knight in shining armour? Who will be prince charming? And who will be the wicked witch? Find out the answers to these, right here, on Total Drama All Stars."
Intro song plays.
Bart and Light were sitting in the boy's cabin talking. "We're in trouble now," said Bart.
"What, because we lost Marty?" asked Light. "Don't worry about it. We might get lucky in the next challenge."
"One of us might," said Bart. "The other one is a goner."
"Not necessarily," said Light. "Chris might spring a 'don't complete this challenge and you get eliminated' challenge on us. And if someone on Katniss's team can't do it . . ."
"Chris hasn't done that all season," said Bart.
"Exactly, we're overdue," said Light.
"It's not gonna happen," said Bart.
"Campers, please make your way to the edge of the forest for today's challenge," said Chris over the loudspeakers.
Twenty minutes later . . .
"Welcome campers, to today's challenge," said Chris. "If you look carefully into the forest right now, you will see a large castle-like structure." The campers looked past Chris, and saw the giant castle with five large turrets. "We've loaded the forest with monsters you need to slay in order to get to the castle. Once there, you need to reach your respective turret, and rescue a princess from their captor."
Zidane squinted up at the window of one of the turrets. "Is that . . . DAGGER?" he asked, shocked.
"Wait, we have to rescue REAL girls?" asked Bart.
"Yes, you do," said Chris, ignoring Zidane's question.
"Eww, girl germs," said Bart.
"Okay now, you've all got a weapon of some sort," said Chris. At this, Ash drew one of his Pokéballs, Bart brandished his slingshot, Katniss held her bow, and Zidane had his daggers.
Light looked around, confused. "I haven't got a weapon," he said, looking at the others.
"You've got that killer notebook," said Chris.
"Not really a useful weapon in a physical confrontation," said Light.
"Then don't get in any physical confrontations," said Chris.
"Not helpful," said Light.
Confession Cam: Katniss
"No weapon means Light is so not winning this challenge."
"Okay, the winner is the first one to get back here," said Chris. "The winner will have immunity from tonight's vote. Any questions?"
"Yeah," said Zidane. "Was that Dagger I saw?"
"Alright, no questions," said Chris. "Go."
"Wait, I have a question," said someone. The contestants looked up to see a man in blue robes running towards them. "I heard at the start of the series you might need me, but I haven't heard back."
"Oh, Ice King," said Chris. "Obviously you haven't been watching, because Finn was eliminated. A while ago in fact."
"WHAT?! How did that happen?" asked the Ice King.
"Him," said Ash, Katniss and Zidane, pointing at Light.
The Ice King sighed. "I've been practicing my princess kidnapping skills for nothing," he said, leaving.
"And now with that pointless interruption out of the way, go," said Chris.
"But I . . ." said Zidane, but the other had already started moving. Sighing, he dashed after them.
In the forest, the contestants dashed towards the castle, when suddenly an unholy roar sounded. Then, from out of a bush, they came: a bear, Chef, Cyborg Sasquatchanakwa, Fang, and some guy wearing a hockey mask and holding a chainsaw in his hand (since in the place where his other hand should have been there was a hook).
"I choose you, Snivy," said Ash, throwing one of his Pokéballs. Out popped Snivy, tiny compared to the advancing Fang.
Meanwhile, Bart had climbed slightly up a tree and was fired rocks off at Chef with his slingshot, keeping him from reaching him; Zidane had also climbed a tree with the bear in close pursuit; and Katniss was rolling out of the way of one of the cyborg's lasers. As for Light . . .
"Ready to die, kid?" said the guy in the hockey mask, raising his chainsaw.
"Wait," said Light, cowering beneath him. "Can I at least learn the name of the man who will kill me?"
"Hmm, well okay," said the killer. "Though you'll be dead in a few seconds anyway. I'm simply known as The Escaped Psycho Killer with a Chainsaw and a Hook, spelled T-H-E-space-E-S-C-A . . . AGH!" Suddenly, The Escaped Psycho Killer with a Chainsaw and a Hook clutched his chest, and fell over dead.
"Idiot," said Light, closing the Death Note and putting his pen back in his pocket as he started off for the castle again.
Not long after, Katniss managed to fire an arrow that stuck into Sasquatchanakwa. It pierced some important computery stuff that only the most advanced engineers (which I am not) would know the name of. Sasquatchanakwa started to spasm for a moment, and then shut down. Katniss looked around to see Ash and Snivy struggling with Fang.
Ash saw her running over to help him, and shook his head. "Katniss, no," he said. "I saw Light start heading towards the castle. One of us should get over there to stop him."
"But you . . ." started Katniss.
"Don't worry about us," said Ash. "Get over there, now." Katniss hesitated a moment, but soon left in the direction of the castle. Ash turned back to the battle. "Snivy, use Leaf Blade," he said. Several sharp leaves sprang out from Snivy, immediately sticking into Fang. "Now, Vine Whip." Two long vines stuck out from Snivy, and smacked Fang to the ground. "Alright, I think we . . ." started Ash, just as Fang got back up, still very much alive. "Uh oh," said Ash as Fang started charging. Just as Fang was about to charge into them, however, he was suddenly kicked to the side. Ash looked over to see that Zidane had knocked him over.
"Thought you could use a hand," said Zidane, standing back up.
"I thought you were fighting the bear," said Ash.
"Where do you think I got this new coat," said Zidane, indicating the fur coat he was wearing. Ash looked over to the tree where Zidane had been fighting the bear to see that the bear was still there, just hairless. "Come on," said Zidane. "We have a challenge to win." The two of them immediately set out for the castle.
"Wait for me," said Bart, holding back a tree branch. Just as Chef was about to reach him, Bart let go of the branch, which smacked into Chef and sent him flying. "Heh heh, sucker," said Bart before going to the castle himself.
Inside the castle, Light found five staircases, each leading up to a turret. At the foot of each staircase was a sign with a contestant's name. The names were alphabetical from leftmost staircase to right. Light shrugged at ran up the staircase second from the right. Katniss was is soon after him, and quickly darted up the middle staircase. Zidane and Ash were in next, each taking an end staircase. Finally, Bart came in and ran up the staircase second from the left.
Ash burst through the door at the top of his staircase, and found Misty crouched in the room. "Misty?" asked Ash. "I have to rescue you?"
"Yeah, though I think it's more of a formality," said Misty.
"Why's that?" asked Ash, as he heard a familiar laugh behind him.
"Prepare for trouble," said Jesse.
"Make it double," said James.
"To protect the world from devastation," said Jesse.
"To unite all people within our nation," said James.
"To denounce the evils of truth and love," said Jesse.
"To extend our reach to the stars above," said James.
"Jesse," said Jesse.
"James," said James.
"Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light," said Jesse.
"Surrender now, or prepare to fight," said James.
"Meowth, that's right," said Meowth.
"So I have to defeat you to win this challenge?" asked Ash.
"Yes, but really, what's the chance of that happening?" said James.
"Well, given my track record of six hundred and something to zero, I'd say pretty good," said Ash.
"Enough chat. Go, Woobat," said Jesse, sending out her Woobat.
"Go, Yamask," said James.
"I choose you, Donphan," said Ash, sending out Donphan.
"Woobat, use Air Slash," said Jesse.
"Yamask, use Night Shade," said James.
"Donphan, use Rollout," said Ash. Donphan rolled into a ball and charged at Team Rocket and their Pokémon. It rammed into all of them, and the entire group went flying out through the wall.
"It looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again," said Jesse and James together as they flew through the air, disappearing over the horizon.
"Well, that was easy," said Ash. "Misty, want to help me win this challenge?"
"As long as some of that money is used to by me a new bike," said Misty.
"I was hoping you'd forgotten about that," said Ash, leading the way out of the room.
While this was happening, one staircase to the left . . .
Bart pushed open the door to the room, and found Lisa sitting in the corner. "Aww, do I have to save my stupid sister?" asked Bart.
"Yes, if you want to win this challenge," said Chris.
"Yeah Bart, rescue me," teased Lisa.
Bart groaned loudly. "Okay, who do I have to save her from?" said Bart.
"WASSUP!" said an all too familiar (but pathetic) voice. Milhouse entered the room, acting all high and mighty (or as mighty as a nerd can act). "Hey Bart, can I have some of the money if I take a fall for you?"
"Oh, you can take a fall alright," said Bart, who lightly pushed Milhouse backwards. Milhouse overbalanced, and he fell down the stairs, bouncing all the way to the ground floor. "Ooh, that's gotta hurt," said Bart.
"Don't you think that was slightly unnecessary?" asked Lisa.
"Let's just get going," said Bart, starting down the stairs.
"Aren't you going to carry your princess?" asked Lisa, clearly trying to annoy Bart.
"What? No," said Bart, trying to continue.
"Doesn't sound like the sort of thing a knight in shining armour would do," said Lisa.
"Yeah, well, neither is this," said Bart, grabbing her arm and dragging her down the stairs.
Moving to the centre staircase . . .
Katniss burst into the room, and found Prim there. "Prim," she said, breathless. "Come on, let's get you outta here."
"First, you'll have to go through me," said someone behind her. Katniss turned around to see President Snow standing in the doorway. Katniss immediately grabbed her bow. "Oh, what makes you think you can kill me?" he asked. "Last time you had a shot at me, you were only a few feet away, and you missed."
"Last time, President Coin was also in my line of sight," said Katniss. "I don't see her around anywhere, so . . ." President Snow looked horrified as Katniss released the arrow, straight through his heart.
"Don't you find it weird that he was talking about when he died?" asked Prim as Katniss led her out of the room.
"Well, given that you're alive too, I'm guessing that continuity is irrelevant to the writer," said Katniss, heading down the stairs.
Meanwhile, in the next turret . . .
Light entered the room, and found Misa in the room. "Light," she cried, rushing over to him and embracing him tightly.
"Ah, Misa," he said. "I suppose there's someone here guarding you?"
"As a matter of fact, there is," came the reply from behind him. Light turned around to find L standing there.
"L?" said Light. "I thought I killed you."
"No, Rem killed me," said L.
"Oh, yeah," said Light. "So, I guess I have to fight my way past you to get out of here?"
"That is the reason I was brought here," said L. "How they brought me back from the dead is another matter."
"Probably simply for the purposes of confusing the audience," said Light.
"No, I have a feeling there's something more to it," said L.
"Well, whatever it is, it'll have to wait," said Light, turning towards the door. "For now, I have a challenge to win."
"Wait, you haven't beaten me yet," said L.
"Oh, right," said Light. He walked over to L, and pushed him over. "There we go. Come on Misa." The two of them left the room.
Finally, Zidane's story . . .
Zidane reached the top of the stairs and opened the door. As he thought, Dagger was in the room, facing away from him. "Dagger . . ." he said quietly.
"Not so fast," came a voice, followed by a giant sword crashing down beside him that Zidane only just avoided. Zidane turned to face his opponent. At first, all he saw was a giant black wing, and then . . .
"SEPHIROTH?!" he asked, dumbfounded. "Why are you here? I mean, we only met like once in the war of the gods, and even then you were fighting Cloud. I was expecting Kuja."
"Yeah, about Kuja," said Chris over the loudspeakers. "Turn around."
Zidane turned around, and stifled a scream. "KUJA?!" he said. He stood stunned for a moment before speaking again. "Why are you wearing Dagger's clothes?"
"Because we didn't think you'd come if you knew it was Kuja," said Chris.
"And don't I look fabulous?" asked Kuja, spinning on the spot.
"You know what? No," said Zidane. "No, I'm not saving Kuja."
"What?" demanded Sephiroth as Zidane left the room. "Hey, get back here."
"Oh, don't worry about him Sephy baby," said Kuja. "His loss. Come, we'll have some fun in here before they kick us out." Let's leave it at that, shall we?
Back on the ground floor, Light was the first one down, and was running flat out with Misa in tow. Katniss and Ash with their respective 'princesses' were down next, with Ash and Misty riding Donphan for more speed. Zidane, princess-less came down after them, and shot out the door. Bart dragging Lisa was the last one out.
Light ran as fast as he could with Misa, but Donphan was gaining fast. Luckily, with two people on its back it was slowed down significantly. The finish line was in sight, Light and Ash were neck-and-neck . . .
And then Misty fell. Luckily, Ash grabbed her before she hit the ground, but Donphan slowed down slightly so that he didn't trample her. Light, seeing the opportunity, darted forward, and crossed the finish line.
"We have a winner," said Chris as everyone else arrived. "Light has crossed the finish line first and will be immune from tonight's vote." He then took a look at the contestants, and smiled that evil smile he got sometimes. "Or at least he would, if there was going to be a vote tonight."
"What do you mean?" asked Bart, pushing Lisa to the ground.
"I'd have deducted points from you for that, if Zidane hadn't already been eliminated," said Chris.
"Say WHAT?!" asked Zidane.
"Anyone who did not complete the challenge would be instantly eliminated," said Chris. "I did mention that didn't I?"
"No, you didn't," said Zidane.
"Well, I'm mentioning it now," said Chris. "Goodbye, Zidane."
"Damn it Zidane," said Katniss. "You know what this means for us don't you?"
"Katniss, I swear I can change," said Zidane as Chef dragged him away.
"Not that you idiot," said Katniss. "It means the good guys and bad guys are even again."
"Oh, right," said Zidane as he was loaded into the cannon. "But we're still together right?" He never got an answer, because that's when Chef fired the cannon. He then turned to the remaining contestants.
"Now, where's the little punk who hit me with the tree branch?" demanded Chef, suddenly spotting Bart.
"Eep," he said, and started running away.
Chris just turned to the camera and ignored them while he delivered the outro. "What will Chef do to Bart when he catches him? What will Katniss do to Light if she ever gets him eliminated? And what else can I put these guys through? Find out the answers to these questions and more next time, right here, on Total Drama All Stars."
