Episode 12, Part 3

Cabins - 7:00 P.M.

"COME ON, TYLER!" screamed Geoff. Not only had he been stuck in an airtight cabin that had been the sight of a stink bomb explosion, he had also been stuck there with Harold.

"GEHRFMDNS!" Tyler screamed through his gag.

Harold was confused. "Geoff, how did they get out?"

Geoff wasn't paying attention. "What?"

"How did they get out of the cabin?"

Geoff realized that it was a good question. "Come on, let's start looking!"

Campfire Pit - 7:02 P.M.

Michael, Izzy, Heather, Macie, Holly, and Jack stood armed with paintball guns. Holly cleared her throat. "Attention, soldiers! It is on this day that we launch the invasion of McLean territory! It is on this day that our fight for equal rights ends, be it on our side or theirs! It is on THIS DAY that we use paint to KICK ASS!"

The others applauded loudly and loaded up for final preparations. Izzy walked over, not wanting to be near everyone. Heather saw this and walked over to her. "Izzy, what's wrong?"

Izzy looked at Heather and for once it looked like she actually cared. "Nothing! Izzy is fine!"

Heather rolled her eyes. "Come on, psycho. Out with it."

"Izzy doesn't know what you mean!"

"Izzy!"

Izzy sighed. "Izzy wants to talk to Michael in private but he's too busy."

Heather laughed. "Don't worry, crazy. You'll get your chance soon enough."

The friendly conversation was interrupted by Macie running by and screaming, "BONZAI!"

Mess Hall - 7:07 P.M.

"WHAT are WE going to DO here?" Chef Hatchet called out.

"Kick some intern ass!" answered Duncan, Courtney, and Bridgette.

Chris nodded. "Excellent! We will STOP those interns from their evil quest, no matter the cost!"

Bridgette held her paintball gun. "These only shoot paint, Chris."

Chris sighed. "Yeah, yeah, I know. But how cool would it be if I could actually shoot those interns?"

Duncan sighed. "McCrappy, let's just get on with this. I want to shoot something."

"TROOPS MOVE OUT!"

Confessional 7:13 P.M.

"Noah, what are you doing?" Katie asked.

Noah stood up on top of the toilet. "Push me up!"

Katie did as she was asked. "Why?"

"I'm going to try to push the roof off!"

"WHY?"

"So we can escape!" Noah said as he punched the roof. Eventually, he and Katie heard something snap…

Cabins 7:18 P.M.

"HAROLD! I think I found something!" Geoff called.

Harold ran over to him. "What is it?"

Geoff pointed to an indent on the wall. "Let's push this!"

The two guys pushed it, and a whole part of the wall came out – a secret door!

"Hurry!" Harold called.

Geoff began running. "Harold, you get Tyler! I'll find the others!"

Pavilion - 7:24 P.M.

"CHARGE!" yelled Holly, as Chris' side came bursting out o the mess hall.

Holly and Michael immediately teamed up and ran towards Chris, who was wielding two guns. Holly shot off a few, but Chris expertly dodged. "HA! That ice skating show sure paid off!" he cried. Michael shot one too, but missed as well. Chris launched off a couple shots of his own, narrowly hitting both of them.

Jack went for Duncan. "Take this, delinquent!" he cried, shooting thrice.

Duncan laughed, dodging each paintball. "Bring it on, intern!" Duncan shot once, and it hit Jack in the chest.

Jack grinned, unfazed by the attack. "It's been brought."

"Crap…" Duncan muttered.

Macie's target was Chef. "Hey, Cheffie, bring it ON!" she yelled.

Chef grinned and shot her twice, knocking her onto the ground.

She flew back up smiling and said, "Nice one!"

Izzy chased after Bridgette. "Hey, surfer girl, Izzy is going to crush you!"

Bridgette shot once and missed Izzy by a mile. "Yeah, I don't think so, crazy!"

Courtney just stood amidst the chaos until Heather appeared. "HEY CIT!"

Courtney stomped her foot. "Learn some manners!"

"YEAH? LEARN SOME DIE!"

Meanwhile, Izzy had Bridgette backed into a corner. She grinned and raised her gun, and Bridgette screamed…

Confessional 7:44 P.M.

"YES! The top came open!" exclaimed Noah.

"EEP!" Katie squealed, causing Noah to lose his balance.

Which caused him to slam into a wall.

Which caused the wall to splinter.

Which caused the nails to fall loose.

Which caused the walls to fall off.

Which caused the confessional to break open.

Which left Noah and Katie standing in the middle of splintered wood, no longer a confessional.

"Hey, my plan worked!" Noah exclaimed.

Katie giggled.

Pavilion - 7:59 P.M.

… and Izzy pulled the trigger. But the paintball didn't hit Bridgette.

"NO!" screamed Geoff, running towards them. The paintball hit him and he crumpled to the ground in pain.

"GEOFF!" cried Bridgette. She knelt next to him. "Are you okay?"

Geoff attempted to grin. "Yeah… But Bridgette… need to say something important…"

Bridgette shushed him. "I know, Geoff." And than the two kissed.

"WOW! Izzy did NOT see that coming!" Izzy exclaimed.

Bridgette broke away from the kiss and stood up. "Hey Izzy, watch this!"

And than Izzy got shot by three paintballs.

Michael saw this and the kiss. He had smiled, happy that Geoff and Bridgette were together (he liked Bridgette more of a best friend than a girlfriend, and supported a relationship between the two), but he would not let Izzy get hurt. He still cared for her.

"NO!" Michael cried, rushing towards Bridgette and Geoff. He shot three times. One got Bridgette, one got Geoff, and one narrowly missed Chris' head.

Speaking of Chris, he was winning against Holly. "What do you have to say now, intern?" he asked.

Holly huffed. "Not bad for an old guy. But I'm better."

Chris snorted. "Yeah, right."

He raised his guns to deal the finishing blow, but than…

"STOP!" came an exclamation.

All fighting stopped to turn around. Noah and Katie walked into the pavilion, and Noah exclaimed, "Do you people see what you're doing?"

"Um… killing each other?" suggested Duncan.

"YES!" Noah cried. "Do you not see what you've turned into? Barbarians! You've gone to war over something that can easily be settled! This is ludicrous!"

Holly faced Noah. "Listen, bookworm, we need our privileges!"

"I know that, Holly. And Chris, you need interns! Why can't you guys just compromise?"

They all heard a buzzing and turned their heads upward. A helicopter was passing above them, and someone jumped out of it, parachuting down. When he reached the ground, he said, "Excellent idea, Noah." After seeing the confused looks on everyone's faces he explained, "Hi, I'm James. New head of interns for Total Drama. Now, Chris, tomorrow you and Holly are going to sit down and have a compromise. And this war is over."

Chris looked at the new guy. "Who hired you, anyway?"

"The studio manager."

"And who won the war?"

James scratched his chin. "Well, your selfishness and greediness caused this war, so your side loses."

The remaining Screaming Gophers and the interns cheered. Chris grumbled, "Killer Bass, elimination in half an hour."

As everyone filed out, the war finally over, Michael went over to Bridgette. "So, looks like we're through, right?"

Bridgette blushed. "Yeah, I guess. Sorry."

Michael smiled. "Don't be. I know he'll treat you good." Staring off into the distance that Izzy had gone, he added, "And there are some things I need to make right."

"Are we still friends?" Bridgette asked.

Michael nodded. "Best friends."

The two hugged before going their separate ways.

Campfire Pit 8:36 P.M.

Tyler, Duncan, Geoff, Harold, Courtney, and Bridgette sat in front of Chris.

"You all fought on my side today. But sadly, one of you will be eliminated tonight," Chris announced.

"Marshmallows go to Duncan, Geoff, Harold, and Bridgette."

Tyler and Courtney sat nervously.

"Tyler, you got ambushed and let Geoff and Harold get stinkified – and than left them trapped for hours. Courtney, you brought your team onto my side in the first place! And the last marshmallow of the night goes to…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"… Courtney!"

"YES!" Courtney cheered, dancing with her happiness.

Tyler sighed. "Guess I saw this coming." As he walked away, everyone wished him the best.

"WOW! That was one dramatic war! Michael and Bridgette broke up, Bridgette and Geoff hooked up, the interns bonded with the Screaming Gophers, the Killer Bass bonded with me, I got a little intern babysitter, and Tyler was eliminated! More drama, and an emotional moment, next time, on Total Drama Island!" Chris said in the closing.
