The scene opens on Chris, standing on the pier. "Last time on Total Drama All Stars." Flashbacks of the previous episode start playing. "The contestants had to fight their way to the top of a castle and rescue a princess. I think there will be an investigation into something Light did on the way to there, but whatever. The contestants made it to the castle and rescued their respective princesses. At least, most of them did. Zidane, very uncharacteristically, refused to complete the challenge, and was therefore eliminated, meaning that Light gained immunity for nothing." The camera cuts back to Chris on the dock. "Who will crack under pressure? Who will drop like a rock? And who will crash and burn? Hopefully all four of them, but find out the actual answers to these questions, right here, on Total Drama All Stars."
Intro song plays.
The four contestants were sleeping soundly in their beds. Suddenly, dark shapes were looming over them, then blackness.
The group were then seen lying on the floor of the cargo area of a plane. Slowly, they all start waking up. "Wha? Where are we?" asked a drowsy Katniss.
"Welcome contestants, to this week's challenge," said Chris, walking up to them.
"That was fast," said Light. "Normally we have at least one scene of what we're planning before we start the challenge."
"We'll get to that later," said Chris.
"Wait a sec, I didn't go to sleep in my clothes," said Bart. "When did we get changed?"
"I think it'd be better not to ask," said Ash.
"If you're quite finished," said Chris. "You do have a challenge to complete, and it's right out this door." Chris proceeded to open the door of the cargo hold, revealing to the contestants that they were already fifty thousand feet in the air.
"Let me guess," yelled Katniss over the noise. "Skydiving?"
"Close," replied Chris. "You all get a parachute. It's whether you can get to it that you need to worry about."
"I don't like where this is going," said Ash.
"You see those safes in the back there?" asked Chris.
"I really don't like where this is going," said Ash.
"Your challenge today is to jump out of this plane with one of those safes," said Chris. "Inside is a lifesaving parachute. Crack the safe before you hit the ground, put on the parachute, and survive. Or not. Your choice, really. Because you could quite possibly die, we actually swapped this challenge with next week's, since we thought the whole 'plane' and 'people dying' thing would be in poor taste."
"And that's why I didn't like where this was going," said Ash.
"Okay Chris, seriously?" said Light. "I know Japan has some weird, dangerous stuff on its game shows, but all of them are non-lethal. What if one of us dies doing this?"
"Don't worry, we've set up a trampoline somewhere for you to land on," said Chris.
"I don't that's enough . . ." started Light
"Quiet. It's challenge time," said Chris. "Everyone grab a safe." Hesitantly but obediently, the contestants picked a safe. "Now, before you jump, I want to remind you all that you signed on for this . . ."
"When?" asked Bart.
". . . so we can't be sued if anything goes wrong," said Chris. "Okay, go." The contestants didn't move. Chris glared at them, before walking to a seat and strapping himself in. He then pulled out a walkie talkie. "Chef? They're not doing it." Suddenly, the plane tilted to the side, flinging the contestants out the door with their safes. "Thank you," said Chris. "By the way, did you set up the trampoline?"
"I thought you were doing it," said Chef.
"Whatever, I'm sure they'll be fine," said Chris.
The contestants hurtled through the air towards the ground, desperately trying to open their safes. Ash had one hand desperately clinging onto his safe, one hand grabbing at his belt. Finally, he grabbed one of his Pokéballs. "I choose you, Unfeazant," he called. Unfeazant popped out, saw his master falling rapidly, and immediately gripped him in his talons. "Thanks Unfeazant. Now I have more time to get my parachute," said Ash.
Meanwhile, Bart had his ear pressed to his safe, trying to hear the tumblers fall into place. "It's hopeless," he said aloud. "I can't hear anything with all this wind in my ears." Angrily, he punched the safe's door. Suddenly, the safe sprang open, revealing the parachute. "That works," he said, pulling it out.
Light was trying a different strategy: spreading his body to cover as much space as possible, reducing his speed. He even unbuttoned his shirt to form a kind of makeshift parachute. With his reduced speed, he managed to focus all his concentration on cracking the safe. He was making some progress when suddenly . . .
"BOOYAH!" came a yell from above, startling everyone. Looking up, the contestants saw Bart had opened his parachute.
"We have a winner," said Chris through the megaphone. "Now, we just need to find out if we have any more survivors."
Light ignored him and went back to trying to crack the safe. About a minute later, the final tumbler fell into place, and the door swung open. Light smiled as he grabbed out his parachute.
Meanwhile, Katniss was trying to hack through the door with her hunting knife. Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, the knife couldn't seem to make a dent. Frustrated, Katniss brought the knife onto the door with all her strength. The knife flew out of her hand, beyond Katniss's reach. Katniss looked down, and saw the ground fast approaching. She closed her eyes, preparing for the worst, when suddenly she almost stopped where she was. Opening her eyes, she saw a large bird holding her up.
"Good work Unfeazant," called Ash from above, parachute already deployed. "Katniss, Unfeazant can only slow your fall for so long. Get your parachute on quick."
"Thanks Ash," called Katniss. She quickly put her ear to the safe, and listened for the tumblers like the others had. Soon, she had deployed her own parachute like the others had.
"Great work guys," said Chris. "Now we have to wait for you guys to land, which may take a while because you deployed your parachutes so far up. While you finally do get down though, you can vote for tonight's elimination, which can be any of you except Bart."
"Any tips on getting down faster?" asked Katniss.
"Take off the parachute," said Chris, walking away.
About an hour later, after everyone had landed, Light and Bart were meeting in the boy's cabin. "Alright Bart, you're immune, and Katniss and Ash will vote for me. The only hope for me is for us to vote for the same person, and then I defeat them in the tie-breaker. So, tonight we vote for Katniss."
"Whoa man, why her?" asked Bart. "She's a chick. Ash is a dude. He'll be way more of a threat."
"Katniss is the leader," said Light. "True, Ash has a few dozen monsters at his disposal, but everything Katniss has done has been from her own skill. She doesn't need assistance. That's why she's the bigger threat."
"I don't know . . ." said Bart.
"Come on, have I steered you wrong so far?" asked Light.
"No, but you've steered almost everyone else wrong," said Bart.
"Exactly. I've been planning to keep you the whole time," said Light. "What do you say? Vote off Katniss?" Light held out his hand to Bart.
Bart stared at it a moment, then smiled. "Vote off Katniss," he said, shaking his hand.
Confession Cam: Light
"You were a worthy foe Miss Everdeen, but once again, brains beat brawn. I win."
Later, at the campfire ceremony . . .
"Campers," started Chris. "You guys are the final four. Congratulations on making it this far. Especially you Light, since you seem to be more despised than Heather, Courtney, Alejandro and Scott combined. But now, three of you shall be receiving a marshmallow, and proceeding to the final three, while the other is fired out of a cannon and never allowed to return. Ever. This elimination ceremony is a special one, because it's the last time I'll be handing out marshmallows. The winner of next week's challenge gets to pick who goes with them to the finale. But before we can do that, we need to do this one. Obviously, Bart has immunity, so he receives the first marshmallow." Chris threw a marshmallow to him, which landed on his lap. "Ash, Katniss, Light, two of you will receive a marshmallow. One of those two will be . . . Katniss." A marshmallow landed on Katniss's lap. Ash looked nervously at the camera, while Light, who had a smug smile at the start of the ceremony, realised something was wrong. "The final marshmallow of the night goes to . . ." The camera quickly cut between a nervous looking Ash, and a horrified looking Light. "Ash." The final marshmallow landed on Ash's lap.
Light looked at them all, stunned by what just happened. "What. The. *beep*?" he said. "Bart, I thought we agreed to vote off Katniss?"
"Yeah, but I voted for Ash anyway, since I was hoping you'd see sense and get rid of the bigger threat," said Bart. "Guess not."
"I told you why we needed to get rid of Katniss," said Light. "You know what? You have to give the money to someone. Let's see you give the money to dead competitors." Light pulled out the Death Note and started writing.
"Go ahead. It won't work," said Chris.
"Oh really? Why not?" said Light smugly.
"Because when we found out you were going to be eliminated, we got everyone to legally change their name, thereby making the names you know them by immune to the Death Note."
"But . . . you called them by their names when you gave them their marshmallows," said Light.
"Correction: I called them by their new nicknames," said Chris. "Sorry Light, but you lose."
"No. No, this isn't happening," said Light as he was dragged away by Chef. "This isn't over. I will have my revenge. Just you wait." Chef loaded him into the cannon, and he was soon fired over the horizon.
"Just think, he was so dignified until then," said Chris.
"Well, as dignified as one can be when they go on this show," said Chef.
"Yeah, you're right," said Chris. "Hey, has anyone got anything else they want to do in this episode? We barely even have eighteen hundred words in this chapter."
"I got nothing," said Bart.
"Me neither," said Ash.
"Can't we finish this season already?" asked Katniss.
"Fine, whatever," said Chris. "We're down to the final three contestants. Can Ash burn his way through the final two challenges? Is Bart better than the two besties? Or will Katniss catapult herself to the crown? Find out the answers to these questions, right here, on Total Drama All Stars."
