Total Drama: My Way
Episode 4: Dodgebrawl
Okay, Okay. I've been reading a lot of other fan-fictions for inspiration, and i feel- no- i know my fic just isn't up to standard. I believe i need to incorporate more action other than the challenges, and that i need to be writing more. So, expect quite a bit of text before i start to get to the challenge. As always, ily, please read and review.

"Last time on Total Drama Island!" Chris began, as footage from the day before started to roll, "Our two teams battled it out for immunity in our insomnia inducing Challenge!" Footage shows the campers around the fire, "Our campers managed to conquer a treacherous 5 kilometer run- and even received a little reward afterwards!" He licked his lips, "But in the end, it was Courtney who won the challenge for her team! After an intense elimination ceremony, Crazy girl Izzy was sent packing. Who will win, who will fail miserably trying. Find out next on Total. Drama. Island!" Chris then chuckled, as the screen went static.
In the Gophers cabin, hostility was in the air. Heather brushed her hair, whilst the others sat motionless.
Silence.
"You know, I already feel a whole less stressed now that nut-job is gone." Spoke the Queen Bee, "Stress does terrible things to your body!" She swooned.
Gwen and Leshawna chuckled to themselves, only to annoy Heather.
Heather turned around sharply and glared at the two, and let out a dismissive 'hm'.
Confessional: Beth
"There's just so much hostility in the Cabin, yanow?" She shrugged, "I bet the Bass are getting on fine."
In the Bass cabin, shouts could be heard from outside,
"You little Dweeb, stop leaving your shorts everywhere!" Duncan growled, hoisting Harold up by his collar.
Harold gulped and began to sweat, pleading "It's not my fault! It's not my fault!" He began to splutter as Duncan raised his fists
"I've had enough of you- You nerd!" Duncan growled, "How can any sixteen year old be so unhygenic- so Stupid!"
The other males in the Bass cabin started to shift awkwardly, Ezekiel, Tyler, DJ and Geoff.
A timid cough cascaded through the Cabin, "Duncan, this isn't like you, whats gotten into you?" Geoff edged closer
"I've just had it up to here with people like him!" He pointed a finger at Harold, who had been set on the floor and was scrambling out of the door
"Well, maybe it's time to pipe down?" Tyler confronted him, helping Geoff, the blond gave him a thankful nod.
By this time, the two girls, Courtney and Bridgette had entered the room from next door.
"What's going on?" Courtney enquired, "We saw Harold outside running-"
"Get out."
"But we came to see what was wrong!" Bridgette smiled, only to have the smile wiped of her face.
"Get out."
The two girls stepped back, and closed their mouths, but didn't leave.
A timid DJ muscled up the courage to speak,
"You really shouldn't talk to girls like that, bro" The Jamaican scolded, "Considering you have a crush on Miss C.I.T over there."
From the other side of the room, Courtney raised her hand to interject, but blushed and retracted her hand.
Duncan didn't move.
Silence.
"Well, aha, this has been fun!" Ezekiel chirped, as he skidded past DJ and the Girls.
"And i thought Eva had anger problems." Courtney laughed, receiving glares.
Confessional: Courtney
"I'd rather be caught dead than be with somebody like him!"
The campers had all gathered in the mess hall. But nobody was speaking. Chris walked in, smirking.
"Ooooh, Tension!" The host mocked, he counted the campers. "Won't Mr Delinquint be joining us today?"
"He's just- Tidying up!" Courtney covered
"Tidying?" Chris raised an eyebrow
"Yes! Cleaning! He loves cleaning- our Duncy" Geoff laughed
"Well tell him he has 5 minutes to get here before the Bass lose the challenge!"
Without being told twice, Geoff ran like a flash to the cabin, and returned with a solemn Duncan in an instant
"Well done for nearly costing us the challenge!" Katie scoffed.
"Speaking of the Challenge-"
Chris gathered the campers at a large sports arena with towering reinforced glass walls. Deep within the arena were rows of wooden bleachers,
"Campers, this is your third challenge!" Chris barked, "The game is simple, you will play three rounds of dodge-ball. The team who wins the majority will be safe from elimination tonight, and will survive another day."
"Dodgeball, Huh." Noah snarked, as he grabbed a book and took a seat on the bleachers, sighing.
"Not so fast, Nerd." Heather sneered as she grabbed the Indian by his ears, he winced. "We can't lose three challenges in a row, and if we do- You'll be sent packing."
Noah laughed.
"In teams, you will select five people to play in a match, no match can have the same combination of players"
"That's easy." Courtney planned, "Duncan, Geoff, Eva, Bridgette and I should play first."
"Not so fast." Duncan deadpanned, "I'm not feeling up for it." The punk yawned and lay down on the bleachers.
"And, I'm not the best person at land sports" Bridgette admitted
"Land Sports?" Noah remarked from the other end of the arena.
Bridgette glared.
"I was dodgeball captain at my high school..." Katie trailed off
"Ya! She's like, Totally amazing!" Sadie agreed
"Well, it's official" Courtney smiled, "Katie, would you like to take charge?"
"Me? Really?" Katie spluttered.
Confessional: Courtney
"Of course, i wouldn't normally let Katie lead" She began, "But I need some Allies in this game"
Katie cooed and jumped up and down. She bounced up and down excitedly.
"Erm- Okay, so" She trailed off, "What about... Me, Courtney, Geoff... Tyler and Eva?" Katie shrugged.
"I'm up for it!" Tyler cheered,
"Let's kick some scrawny ass!" Eva growled, cracking her knuckles.
The bass, bar Duncan, all cheered.
Confessional: Duncan
"I'd rather be caught dead than partaking in these lovey-dovey celebrations" He shifted uncomfortably in his seat.
The Gophers where chatting nonchalantly within their team,
"I should be team captain!" Heather boasted, "I'm the only qualified one here!",
Gwen sighed,
"Got a problem, Pasty?" The queen bee inquired, hands poised on her hips.
"It's just that, we've lost two challenges in a row!" She moaned, throwing her hands in the air,
"I agree, maybe it's best that Heather wasn't captain." Trent said, winking at Gwen, who smiled back.
"This is ludicrous!" Heather sighed,
"You don't know the first thing about sport, string bean" Leshawna scowled dismissively
"Maybe i could be in charge?" Trent asked, "I did a little dodgeball in my sophmore year" he shrugged,
"Sounds like a plan." Gwen smiled.
Confessional: Heather
Heather said nothing, she just pulled at her hair.
"Okay..." Trent said, pondering. "We need a healthy mix of power and agility.."
Heather sighed
"So, how about Gwen, Leshawna, Cody, Justin and I?"
"Nuh-uh" Justin scowled, "I don't want to risk damaging anything" he sighed, pointing to various points of his body
"Sports just isn't my forte" Noah moaned
"I can't play sports!" Beth wailed, spitting through her braces
"And if I cant be in charge, I don't want to play!" Heather protested, arms crossed.
Gwen shook her head, "Lindsay?"
Lindsay looked up from her nails for the first time that day,
"Yes, Glenda?"
Gwen seethed, "Have you been listening, at all?"
Lindsay furrowed her brows, and giggled. "Listen to what, Gretta?"
Gwen huffed, and dragged Lindsay onto the court.
The two teams stood adjacent to eachother on the court. On the far left side, The Killer Bass stood, poised to strike. Opposite to them, lay the Gophers, who we're rather more laid back than the Bass. Chris sounded the whistle and the teams stampeded into the center of the court and grabbed the dodgeballs. Courtney and Geoff were one of the first people to get to the balls, Geoff picked up one and aimed for Cody's head, narrowly missing. Courtney, however, with Katie right behind her, aimed for Cody whilst he was occupied with Geoff, and caught him square in the chest. With an 'oompf', Cody fell to the ground and crawled to the bleachers.
"That's how you do it!" Courtney cheered, dusting off her hands joyously.
As the match continued, Katie managed to hit Leshawna, after Leshawna managed to hit Geoff. From the other side of the island, you could hear a monstrous roar, coming from Eva, as she charged towards the center and lobbed the ball at Gwen, catching her.
"Goddamnit" Gwen muttered, as she looked over to see Trent watching her, concerned. She smiled at him, expecting a smile back, but only cringed in pain as Trent got hit square in the face, this time by Courtney.
"It's Neck-and-neck!" Chris gleamed, "Courtney, Katie, Tyler and Eva are still standing strong for the bass, whilst only Lindsay remains on the Gophers".
Lindsay gulped, and picked up a ball. She took a deep breath, as she closed her eyes and chucked it sporadically in the distance. Lindsay opened her eyes briefly, before she was knocked out by a dodgeball to the head, collapsing to the floor.
"And the Bass win round 1!" Chris cheered, "Uh-Uh, Medic! Medic!" Chris shouted as two men in khaki shorts and red shirts rushed over to Lindsay.
"I-I'll take Lindsay to the infirmary!" Tyler shouted, out of the blue. Chris sighed, and gestured for him to follow the unconscious girl.
"How come he gets to go?" Heather shouted, irritated.
Tyler and Lindsay walked out of the infirmary, hand in hand.
"Aw, Taylor, It's really sweet of you to walk me back!" Lindsay cooed,
"Anytime babe!" Tyler chuckled, as the two walked down to the beach, beside the docks
"Don't we need to return to the game?" Lindsay questioned,
"Nah, I'm sure we're fine for a little while" Tyler blushed
Confessional: Lindsay
"Taylor is so nice!" She cooed, hands clasped
"Um.. Hello?" Heather exasperated, "Where is Lindsay?"
"If you're so concerned, maybe you should do something about it?" Gwen spat,
"Gothy is right for once!" Heather clicked her fingers, "Beth, follow me!"
Beth squealed and clapped her hands, "Road trip!"
"Wait- no! We need players!" Gwen shrieked,
"I'm still up for playing" Cody whispered, winking at Gwen
"First of all, that's gross" Gwen retorted, as Cody sighed, "And the rules state that a person can only play 2 out of the 3 matches!"
"That's such a dumb rule." Cody muttered
"Actually, if you think about it, It's clever" Noah butted in, "It prevents us from using the same team and inevitably winning and or losing"
Gwen sighed, "Trent? Who do we have left?"
"We have You, Leshawna, Cody, Noah, Justin and I."
"But Leshawna, Gwen, You and I have already played a match?" Cody questioned "And we know we can only play two matches!"
"Right, Gwen, Leshawna, Noah, Justin and I will play..." Trent spoke,
"But I can't risk damaging my face!" Justin wailed
"I'm pretty sure you cant risk losing the million too, pretty boy!" Leshawna scalded
"What about Cody?" said Justin, "Why can't he play instead?"
"I figured you'd be more useful" Trent said through his teeth, "Whilst Cody could go look for Heather, Beth and Lindsay!" Cody looked up, and sighed, before placing his comic down on the bleachers and leaving the court.
"What do you think you're doing?" Heather screamed, "With HIM!" Heather and Beth had found themselves at the docks, with Lindsay and Tyler in tow.
"Sorry Helen! It won't happen again!" Lindsay wailed, "I pinky promise!" With a scream, Heather chucked the first thing she could reach, a canoe, at Tyler, with a monstrous roar.
Confessional: Tyler
Tyler says nothing, but instead mutters some indecipherable moans, and clutches his chest
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Cody spoke in a suave manner, and placed his elbow on Heather's shoulder. The queen bee simply just brushed the hand off her shoulder and glared.
"What does it look like, CODY?"
"Uh-uh. You guys need to come back and play! or we lose!" Heather sighed, clicked her fingers, and left, the girls behind her.
"It's about time!" Said Leshawna, throwing her hands up, "We won! We have a chance!" Leshawna looked over to see the Bass, looking defeated, Sadie, Harold, Ezekiel, Bridgette and Geoff rubbing their heads. Heather panted,
"Let's just get it over with then." The girl strutted over to the center of the court, alongside Justin, Cody, Lindsay and Beth.
"Yikes, I see they left their best team till last" Geoff chuckled, as he sat down on one of the bleachers.
Courtney, Bridgette, Eva, Katie and Harold all made their way in onto the court, poised to strike.
"We've got this team!" Courtney cheered, trying to raise their morale,
"She's right! We're unstoppable!" Katie squealed. Nobody was quite sure where it came from, but a faint 'same' could be heard in the distance.
Chris sounded the whistle, and the teams set off. Cody immediately struck Harold right off the bat, as the ginger nerd walked off court. Beth ran forward, but tripped over a flying ball, chucked by Eva. Courtney and Heather reached the middle, the two girls growled fiercely and threw. Both girls screamed in anger, as they had both struck eachother in the chest.
"This game is stupid anyway..." The girls murmured, in unison.
"This is the fastest game yet!" Chris cheered! "It's so close! Katie, Eva and Bridgette versus Lindsay, Cody and Justin!"
Eva hurled a ball in Justin's direction, but the model dodged it eloquently.
"There is. No. way. I'm letting. My face. get. damaged!" He screamed out, in between breaths. In fear for his own beauty, Justin picked up a ball and closed his eyes, he chucked it somewhere vaguely in the distance, and struck Katie in the thigh. The sweet girl sighed, and took her leave. Cody looked over to see Lindsay, playing with a ball,
"Lindsay, Look out!" Lindsay looked up to see a ball coming straight at her, in the direction of Bridgette. She squealed and reflected the oncoming ball with her own, sending it flying, right over to Bridgette, who received a ball to the shoulder.
"Not this time!" Lindsay clapped, as Cody and Justin looked on in awe. However, the glory didn't last long, as the three gulped in the face of Eva. The three nodded to eachother, and picked up balls, albeit, it took a while for Lindsay to catch on.
The three aimed, and cascaded Eva with a barage of balls, one of them managing to hit Eva in the chest
"And the Screaming Gophers win!" Chris shouted through a megaphone.
"This is BULLSHIT!" Eva raged, kicking a hole straight through the bleachers
The Killer Bass gathered around the campfire. "What an iconic first loss" Chris chuckled
"Just cut to it!" Duncan snapped,
"I don't know why you're so eager" Chris winked, leaving the punk unsettled. He stood with a plate of 11 marshmallow and started chucking them to people.
"Courtney"
...
"Bridgette"
...
"Tyler"
...
"DJ"
...
"Ezekiel"
...
"Eva"
...
"Geoff"
...
"Katie"
"Now, all of you have had some votes today." Chris sneered,
"Sadie"
The BFFFL's gasped and hugged eachother tightly.
Duncan glared at the redhead, who gulped and avoided eye contact.
"Boys, one of you will be going home tonight" he said, "The last camper safe is..."
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
"Harold"
Harold gasped and clutched onto his marshmallow.
"What?" Duncan boomed, "You voted me-" he stuttered, "Over him!"
"There has to be something wrong!" Geoff defended,
"Duncan, You have been eliminated in 20th place. Any last words"
"Is this for real?" He screamed as he go dragged to the dock of shame.
Courtney and Geoff both ran up to the distressed camper,
"Bro..." Geoff whispered
"If it's any consolation" Courtney started, "Your kinda cute"
Duncan smiled,
"In an ugly way"
"You too, Princess."
And with that, Duncan was loaded onto the dock of shame, never to return again. He could hear some screaming coming from the dock, however
"HOWEVER, you had it coming!"

Reasoning towards the elimination of Duncan:
Okay so, In the early drafts, Duncan was supposed to go as far as 2nd place. But i really needed something that would come as a surprise, and was contemplating eliminating Heather, but seeing as the Gophers had lost two challenges in a row, i looked towards the Bass... Duncan.
Hi, it's me again. Im so sorry for my late uploads, i've been busy. I just recently celebrated my birthday and literally fell ill the day after. I'm so sorry. I aim to post once a week, a Saturday morning, maybe.
It's me again, i no longer have an excuse, its been ages. I'm sorry, I've just had minimal motivation.
