Nicky Haugh: Thank you! I hope you enjoy today's episode!

Saving Private Leechball

The episode faded in in Chris standing in the dock, ready to do the recap.

"Last time on Total Drama All-Stars: our Heroes and Villains went digging for buried treasure, and uncovered a few NASTY surprises.

"Scott villained it up big time, trying to sabotage the other team with the help of the oblivious Lindsay. In the end, it was a close game when Lightning refused to get a 'penalty'. When Mike got involved, they didn't take it so well. In the end, it was Lindsay, who ousted herself as being almost completely brainless, and received the royal flush. How fitting.

"Only fourteen competitors remain, which one of them will ride the sewer system next? Find out right now on Total! Drama! All-Stars!"

Loser Cabins - Boys

"Man, I forgot about these crappy cabins." Trent commented as he laid his guitar case next to his bed.

"Yeah, the hotel was the life!" Mike agreed, sitting down on his bed. B hops into the bunk above Mike, only for it to collapse and crush Mike, sending the silent genius over him.

Cameron and Trent exchanged glances.

Confessional: Trent

"I remember the cabins in the past were crappy, but I don't remember them being THIS crappy!"

Loser Cabins - Girls

Dawn sat atop her bunk, meditating while Sierra was on her phone just below her. "I know we lost, but at least none of us have to go to Boney Island, right?" Zoey asked her two teammates.

"Oh, I do agree, Zoey. Do not worry, Scott shall be fine spending the night on Boney Island." Dawn's eyes slowly opened. "Though I feel a strange presence surrounding the island." She muttered quietly to herself.

Confessional: Sierra

"I hate to break rules about smuggling in items like my cellphone," she proudly shoves her phone for the camera to see, showing an image of Cody in the shower, terrified and pulling the shower curtain over himself, "but I have to keep my TD blogs current!" Sierra told the camera, typing away at her phone.

"'Zoey is even sweeter than she is on TV. Dawn keeps going on about a 'dark aura', but I don't have a clue who that could mean!'" she looks at the camera, "it's better this way, last time I had bit of teensy but of a problem with internet withdrawal. Without this link to my Cody-wody, I'd probably lose my mind!" She yells the last three words.

An owl is 'hooing' on the balcony of the spa hotel. The butler runs over to it and shushes it, "sir." He said to it. The owl stopped, albeit sheepishly.

"Aw yeah, this is the life!" Duncan cheered as he jumped onto his soft bed. "If we keep winning challenges we can live like this all season! To villainy!"

"Lightning scored a touchdown! Sha-bam!" Lightning cheered as he did a flip into his bed.

Confessional: Duncan

"Scott's okay. With him you know what you're getting...which is crap, but still, nice to know. Jo and Heather are gonna make moves for Lightning since he's almost as brain dead as Lindsay, so he'll be an easy target for them."

Spa Hotel - Girls Room

"See that there, people, take notes because that's how you lead a team to victory," Jo taunted, mainly towards Heather who looked increasingly annoyed.

"Yeah, well, you're just lucky Scott stopped the Heroes from winning, Jo! Besides, if we went with my plan, we would have finished twice as fast!" Heather retorted.

As the two started arguing again, Gwen stood up and left the room while Courtney stuck her thumbs on her earplugs, trying to jam them into her ear to avoid the arguing.

Confessional: Heather

"Who does Jo think she is? Like she can just join the game and take command of the team?" She scoffs. "Yeah right!"

A dark silhouette walks out of the open door of the spa hotel, a trash bag slung over his shoulder and a small tank of gasoline in his left hand. The figure walks behind the loser cabins and drops the sack, revealing items including Trent's guitar and Sierra's smartphone.

The figure reaches into his pocket and takes out B's pocket knife, and slices open the tank, pouring the substance all over the items on the ground. He drops the tank after several moments and pulls out Duncan's lighter from his pocket.

"One by one, they will all fall," he said in a dark and deep voice.

He lit the lighter and dropped it onto the pile of items, setting all of them on fire. The figure laughed evilly as the fire now showed who the silhouette was: Mike.

Trent was the first to awake to smell of fire. His eyes shot open to see smoke engulfing their room. He quickly sprang into action, flicking Cameron's forehead to get him to wake up, then ran to B and Mike's bunk. He pulled Mike out of the bunk as Cameron woke B up.

The two boys woke up, and almost immediately realized the danger they were in. They sprinted out the door, coughing from all the smoke. Once they reached a reasonable spot in the clearing, they turned to see that the girl's side was completely burned, and the fire was still spreading.

Mike's eyes grew into saucers, filled with panic. He glanced around and spotted Zoey and the other girls. He ran to them and took Zoey a huge hug, one which she returned. There was tears in her eyes.

"I'm so sorry, Mike. I was so scared to go in there."

"It's okay, I'm here, Zoey."

The Villains began to shuffle out of the spa hotel to see what was going on, only to see the loser cabin almost completely in flames.

It was only then that they noticed interns running back and forth with buckets of water. The whirr of helicopter blades made them all look up to see Chef piloting a helicopter with a bucket underneath it. He pulled a lever, dumping the water over the fire and very nearly extinguishing it.

After several minutes, the interns finally completely extinguished the fire. Dawn's eyes filled with worry and ran behind the loser cabins. The Heroes quickly followed her, though Cameron, Mike, and Zoey seemed a bit reluctant to do so. Jo shrugged and followed them, triggering the other Villains to see what was happening.

Dawn fell to her knees as she found what she feared had been burnt. "My dream catcher," she muttered quietly and sadly.

"My glasses!" Cameron exclaimed in worry, holding out his burnt spectacles.

"My lighter?" Duncan asked, picking up his lighter, before noticing something else as well. "My knife, too!?"

Jo's hands curled around something completely burnt and unusable anymore. "My whistle." She muttered quietly, tears forming in the jock-ette's eyes.

"Lightning's basketball!" Lightning cried, holding out his deflated and burnt basketball.

"No! Why!? Why!?" Courtney cried, hugging what used to be a framed picture to her chest.

"Cooooody!" Sierra cried, tears forming in her eyes as she held her burnt smartphone.

"Mike," Zoey muttered as he searched through the pile. "I found this." She held out the necklace that he gave her last season. Mike quickly got up and hugged her as she began to cry into his shoulder.

Gwen looked over a burnt notebook and sighed miserably. She looked over at B, who was flipping through his now destroyed blueprints to help in challenges.

Out of all of them, Trent was probably the one to shed the most tears as he held his burnt guitar close to him. The intercom crackled to life, startling the contestants mourning the loss of their personal belongings.

"Attention campers! Forest recon in five! Over!"

The contestants walked down the dirt path towards the next challenge. The only one not affected by the fire was Heather, who didn't have a belonging burnt.

"What's with all the moping, so what if you lost some stupid item?" Heather asked, annoyed with all the down contestants. "I mean, Jo is crying over a stupid whistle?" She snickers.

"Hey! Did you lose anything in that fire? Hm? No? Then how do we know it wasn't YOU who burnt our stuff?" Jo asked, getting in Heather's face.

"Oh please, Scott's things weren't burnt either." Heather remarked.

"So? He's on Boney Island and you aren't!" Jo yelled. She spun on her heels and stomped off.

Heather stopped in her tracks and realization dawned upon her. She was going to have a big target on her back if they kept thinking she burnt the contestants' items. "Crap…" she muttered.

Once the teams arrived, Chris was wearing a green army helmet and shades. "At ease, soldiers!" He saluted them, "let's welcome back exiled Vulture, Scott!"

Scott arrived in a jeep, cuts along his face from the night on Boney Island. He groaned as he stalked over to the Villains.

"Welcome to today's experiments with your pain thresholds." Chris announced, earning nervous looks from Duncan, Heather, and Jo as the Robot wheeled in a TV.

"Get ready for an ingenious twist on the war movie challenge from season two." The host began, motioning towards the TV. "There are two weapon caches in the heart of this forest. The big one is filled with state of the art paintball weaponry, and the small one has a bunch of cruddy little paintball slingshots.

"Whoever gets there first gets their pick, and, then you gotta pick off the competition."

"Looking forward to it." Trent muttered, eyeing Heather, who gulped nervously.

"You get one point for each person you splatter, and first team to seven points wins. And the losers will get a dishonorable discharge tonight, Flush of Shame style!"

Duncan scoffs, "paintball again, ooh original! What a twist!" He said sarcastically.

"Oh yeah, that, one of the conditions of my parole is that I can't be around or use hard projectiles like paintballs, so instead," he explained as the Robot wheeled up beside him, "you'll be using leeches!"

The Robot lifted it's mechanical arm, showing a leech pinched between its two 'fingers'. The contestants, except Dawn, shrink back in disgust.

Confessional: Heather

"Leeches!? Chris is really making us earn the million this year, jerk."

Confessional: Dawn

The moonchild holds a leech in her hand. "Oh you poor misunderstood creature. You never intend to cause harm, you poor thing are just so hungry." She lifts the leech to her forehead, allowing it to bloat up.

"As winners of yesterday's challenge, the Villains get a full one minute head start!" Lightning, Gwen, and Heather cheer. "Ready, set…"

Chef, who has joined Chris and the Robot, fires a leech into the air with a paintball pistol, hitting Scott as it returned down. The TV screen switched to a 1:00 timer, signifying the start of the Villains' head start.

The seven remaining Villains ran off into the forest as the Heroes watched them, still saddened.

"Are you okay, Trent?" Dawn asked, walking up.

"No, not really." He mumbled, his hands in his pockets.

"I know that guitar was close to you. I'm so sorry that something like this could have happened."

"That guitar was given to me by my grandpa. It was one of the last things I had of him." He mumbled, putting his head in his hands.

"I lost something too, Trent." Dawn told him. He looked at her, eyebrow raised. "My dream catcher was made by my father. It was the last thing he made for me before he became ill." She wiped away a tear.

Before Dawn could realize what was happening, she felt Trent's arms wrap around her. She hugged him back and mumbled a quiet 'thank you' to him before he let go.

"Heroes, you're up in three, two," Chef cocked the pistol and fired it. Just as he did, they ran off to catch up to the Villains.

"Does anyone know where the heart of the forest is exactly?" Sierra asked, running behind Mike.

"I'll get a better look!" Zoey told her. She quickly jumped from one tree, bouncing off to another to get a better vantage point, leaving Sierra, Mike, Trent, and B with shocked and impressed looks on their faces.

"Over there!" She pointed from a tree branch she sat on. The Heroes ran in the direction she pointed in and she flipped off the tree, landing beside Mike, and ran with the team.

The Heroes had somehow beat the Villains, and are heading towards the large crate.

"We should take the big one!" Cameron stated from behind Sierra. Just as they were about to reach it, the Villains jumped in the way. "Woah, where'd they come from?" Mike asked as he and Zoey stopped.

Heather blew a raspberry at the Heroes while Duncan pointed and laughed, "Suckers!" He laughed.

The Heroes ran to the small crate and B opened it. "Gross!" Cameron commented, holding a bucket filled with leeches away from his chest.

"Guess this is the low-tech crate, alright." Mike quipped, holding a bucket. Sierra reached into the crate and pulled out a bucket of leeches, "Aww, cute! I think I'll call you...Codies." She hugged the bucket, earning strange looks from Trent, Mike, Cameron, and B.

Back with the Villains, they cheered at the sight of the crate they got. "Sha-yeah! First place!" Lightning cheered, earning eye-rolls from Jo, Heather, and Gwen. Duncan punched the side of the crate and took several paces back, causing the walls to collapse, revealing paintball guns pinned up on a shelf, and a cannon full of leeches.

"I'll take the cannon!" Heather, Jo, Scott, and Duncan shouted unison. They all turned to each other and shouted, "No, I'll take the cannon!" They groaned.

"How about we use the cannon as a team?" Gwen asked. The others just shrugged in response. "Whatever." Heather muttered.

"Yeah! I call dibs on firing first!" Scott shouted, racing behind the cannon and pulling the string. The cannon fired a ball of leeches, hitting a blond intern operating a boom mic. After a few seconds, he collapses.

Confessional: Jo

"Pathetic," she starts, leaning on one side of the confessional, her arm resting on her knee. "I can lead this team better than Old Heather, Gothic, and Psycho in Training! 'Work as a team'" she mocks in a high-pitched voice. "No way. By the end of the day, they'll be wishing me as their leader."

The confessional pauses, and the camera zooms out to reveal Chris watching the entire tape in a control room. He turns to the camera with his signature grin plastered on his face.

"Ooh, Jo's mad!" He chuckles. "The Villains are off to quite the start, but, which team will make it to the finish on Total Drama All-Stars!?"

Commercial break.

When the show fades back in, the Heroes are walking through the forest, though Cameron is squinting due to his burnt glasses. "I'm not liking our chances at winning this." Trent moped, holding a bucket of leeches.

"We can definitely win!" Cameron stated.

"If we're stealthy and score first!" He and Sierra shouted in unison before high-fiving. They were soon interrupted by Zoey, who had spotted a cave behind some bushes.

"A cave! We can meet back there if we get ambushed by the Villains!" She exclaimed, pointing at the cave. Cameron nods in agreement, "Great idea, Zoey!" He smiled, giving a thumbs-up.

"Thanks!" Zoey replied, pulling out a leech and readying it in her slingshot. "We have to find the Villains before they find us!" She states.

"Stealthy forest maneuvers? This looks like a job for Svetlana!" Mike chuckles slightly, and begins holding his breath, striking a pose.

Sierra claps in delight, "Oh goody! She's my favorite!" Zoey, Sierra, B, Cameron, and Trent wait for Svetlana to come out, as Dawn watches with concern. After a moment, Cameron speaks up. "Svetlana? Is that you?" He asks.

Mike lets out the breath he was holding, and sighs. "Nah, still me." He says sadly.

Confessional: Mike

"Okay!" He starts, holding his head. "Wasn't too long ago I couldn't keep my alternate personalities in, now, they won't come OUT!" He glances at the wall and slams his elbow in it. He groans and holds his elbow. "Ow! Dang wall. Am I right, Chester?" He looks at his chest, expecting himself to turn into Chester.

"Huh?" He asks confusedly. He grabs his shirt and rips it in half. "Yo, Vitio, my shirt's off, come and get it!" After nothing happens, he looks around, "Vito?" He asks. He brings his legs to his chest and hugs them tightly. "Anybody?"

Gwen, Duncan, Jo, and Scott push the cannon through the forest, while Courtney, Heather, and Lightning walk behind. They suddenly stop pushing after a few feet, out of breath.

"We're easy targets like this, maybe we should ditch the cannon." Gwen contemplated to her team, but Jo quickly cut in before anyone could respond. "No way! I haven't had a turn to fire it yet!" She pats the cannon and hugs it, "Isn't that right, sweetheart?"

"Well Lightning's goin' his own way! Sha-later!" Lightning promptly spun around and ran the other way.

"Uh, okay," Gwen started, her eyebrow raised, "I guess we're splitting up?"

"No thank you." Courtney states, stomping her foot down. "I don't need either of you breathing down my neck!" The former CIT spun on her heel and started in the same direction Lightning went.

A leech suddenly flies in, narrowly missing Jo. Zoey curses under her breath and starts to run away. Scott, Gwen, Duncan, and Heather open fire with their paintball guns while Jo circles around the cannon and pulls the string in an attempt to hit Zoey, only to cover Scott in leeches instead.

"Oh come on!" He yells, then slowly collapses.

Chris chuckles over the intercom. "That's one point for the Heroes, and zilch for the Villains!" He announced.

"But Zoey didn't hit anybody!" Duncan noticed. "True! But friendly-fire counts!" Was the response. Gwen, Heather, and Duncan looked back at Jo, who was still behind the cannon, and glared at her.

"What!? Dirt boy got in the way!" She defended.

"You can take your excuses and stick them in your-" she was cut off when a leech suddenly flew in and stuck itself to the side of her head. Gwen and Duncan looked over to see Mike smiling and waving innocently, before turning around and running the other direction just as they fired.

"Ugh! In my hair!? What's wrong with you!?" Heather complained, trying to pull the leech from her hair.

The host chuckles over the intercom again, "Make that two to zero!" He corrects himself. Gwen glanced at Duncan, "C'mon!" The two ran after Mike as Heather shouted "Avenge me!" As they left.

"I'll take care of Zoey!" Jo announced, running over to Scott's unconscious body and picking up his paintball gun.

Lightning had stopped running awhile ago, but he kept his guard up, clutching his paintball gun in his hands. He poked the butt if his gun through a bush, and after not feeling anything, walked through.

As he continued forward, he heard a twig snap behind him and he stopped suddenly. He narrowed his eyes and spun around, just in time to see a leech pass his chest.

He jumped to the side and behind a tree, doing a roll as he landed on the ground, getting behind the tree. He peeked out from the side of the tree to see B and Trent pointing a slingshot at the tree he just jumped behind.

Lightning knew that hitting B would be easy, but Trent may prove to be more of a challenge. He raised his gun, took a breath, and jumped into the clearing, catching the two Heroes off guard. As he jumped, his finger wrapped around the trigger and opened fire on the two.

The musician dropped to the ground, just in time to avoid the shots, while B wasn't as lucky. The poor guy had leeches all over his chest.

"Sha-bam!" Lightning cheered, stupidly revealing his location to the other Heroes, to his obliviousness.

"The Villains luck into a point, but, the Heroes lead by one!" Chris announced through the intercom. Trent quickly stood up, but as soon as he did, Lightning opened fire, hitting his chest with leeches. "Make that a tie game!" The host corrected through the intercom.

Courtney suddenly stepped through the bushes, looking confusedly down at B and Trent.

B looked miserable as leeches had been stuck to his chest. When she took a look at Trent, rage began to fill up in her. She grit her teeth at the sight of the musician.

Maybe if she hurt him then Gwen would hurt too. After all, they were still friends. Trent looked up at her, he too looked saddened, but that was because his guitar had been burnt.

Yeah, she lost something too in that fire, and that only made her angrier.

It is his fault that Gwen stole her boyfriend.

It is his fault that Gwen broke up with him.

It is his fault that made her life a living Hell for the past two years.

She narrowed her eyes at the musician, and only then realized that she might crack her teeth from gritting them too hard.

She raised her paintball gun to shoot Trent, but Lightning quickly interfered, noticing what she was going to do, after he finished kissing his biceps.

"Woah, girl. What are you doin'? Guitar guy's already out."

Courtney mumbled something under her breath, and lowered her gun. She shook her head quickly and stared back at Lightning. She spun around and began to walk away.

Little do they know, a third Hero reached them from behind a bush, and looked rather nervous about opening fire.

"I'm sorry, Mother Nature, please forgive me." Dawn whispered as she fired her leech. It nailed Lightning in the back of the head. Courtney foolishly turned around to see what happened, only for her too to get leeched.

"It's two to four Heroes!" Chris announced through the intercom.

Dawn raced over from her hiding space and took the two leeches that she fired by scratching their heads. She whispered something, and hurried off. Courtney didn't care, though. Why was she about to let her anger get to her?

And why was she still this mad after two years?

Maybe she should just move on, something she hadn't really thought about until this moment.

Duncan and Gwen were in a small clearing, looking for where Mike went. Duncan turned to Gwen to offer some advice. "Just pretend that Mike's Courtney, and you'll clobber him in no time!"

Gwen was caught off guard by this and turned to Duncan. "Wait, do you think that I hate Courtney?" She questioned.

"Pretty much, yeah." He shrugged.

"You really think I would be that vengeful?" She asks, slightly confused. "You don't know me at all!"

"I'm just trying to protect you!" Duncan defended, but were interrupted by Sierra popping out of a bush with her slingshot loaded.

"Ah-ha!" She smiled. She released the leech, only for it to spin around and attach itself to her own face. It almost immediately bloats up. "It feels just like Cody's kiss!" Sierra sighs, dreamily. Seconds later, she collapses to the ground.

Gwen gags a bit, but manages to swallow it down.

"Three to four Heroes!" Chris announced yet again through the intercom. As he says this, Duncan notices Cameron pointing a slingshot behind him.

"Aim for forty-seven degrees and provide minimal wind resistance…" he calculated, and released the slingshot, launching the leech. It bounces off a rock, a tree branch, and a squirrel before heading towards Gwen.

Just as the leech was about to reach Gwen, Duncan acted quickly, reaching out with his arm and plucked the leech out of the air by the tail, and spun it around in his hand before tossing it over his shoulder.

"Nice try, Cody!" Sierra called from behind Gwen.

"Um, did you just say-" Cameron began, but was interrupted when Duncan opened fire on the scrawny kid, landing leeches all around his face.

Gwen and Duncan both breathe a sigh of relief. "That was an impressive move." She tells her boyfriend. Duncan just chuckles a bit. Just then, two leeches slam into the side of their heads. They both look over to see Mike smiling and waving.

"Sorry! Couldn't resist taking a shot...or two…" he added the last part, and ran away.

Duncan taps his chin in thought. Gwen notices this. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. It's just...he seems familiar…"

Jo was walking towards a cave she saw Dawn enter earlier. She had Scott's gun slung around her back.

"It's four to six Heroes! One more point and the Hamsters win!" The host announces, prompting an eye-roll from Jo. "Pathetic!"

Confessional: Jo

"Some team, I'm stronger than Old Heather, Liability, Count Gwenula, Stunkan, Psycho in Training, and Shark Bait combined!" She states confidently. Some team they turned out to be."

She walked through the cave and looked around. "Where is that little freak? I know you're in here!" She yelled out, tapping her fingers along her paintball gun.

In truth, Dawn was behind a rock. She couldn't bear to use any more of the leeches as weapons. She hoped that Zoey or Mike would be able to save her in time.

No, it was too late when Jo looked around the corner and spotted her. Dawn could only gulp as Jo smirked and aimed at her with her paintball gun. She quickly closed her eyes and suddenly felt an entire round of leeches land on her.

"It's five to six! It ain't over yet!" Chris announced. To Dawn's surprise, Jo approached her and gripped her by the collar. She shoved Dawn into the open, and dropped her now empty paintball gun, and swung around Scott's. She lifted it and pointed it at the back of Dawn's head just as Zoey and Mike entered the cave, and they stopped mid-step.

"Well, well. If it isn't Multi Freak and Apology Breath." Jo quipped, rather relieved that the two remaining Heroes decided to come to her instead of the other way around.

"Let Dawn go!" Mike shouted. "No! You're not the one in charge here!" Jo retorted, rolling her eyes as she pointed the gun harder at Dawn's head.

"Please don't do this." The moonchild whimpered. "Shut up!" Jo shouted, kicking her foot.

"Jo! This is seriously too far!" Zoey shouted, clearly worried for Dawn. Her slingshot was now down at her side and no leech was in hand.

"Hey, Dawn's injuries while either get worse, or stop right now if you two just leech yourself." Jo commanded, pressing the gun a bit harder to Dawn's head.

Zoey quickly reached in her pocket and grabbed a leech, pulled on her slingshot, and shot herself. Jo smirked while Mike looked on in shock. Sure Dawn was his teammate, but there was no way Jo was going to really HURT her? Right?

"You're up, Multi Freak." Jo sneered. Mike glanced down at the slingshot in his hand, then at Dawn.

Jo rolled her eyes, gripped Dawn's hair with her free hand, and kicked one of the girl's legs from under her. The fall caused her hair to be pulled by the jockette.

Mike's eyes went wide. Jo really wasn't messing around.

While Dawn was briefly on the ground, she spotted a rock and grabbed it when Jo was too focused on Mike.

Her eyes remained on him as she dragged the girl back to her feet. Mike quietly loaded a slingshot with a leech, and started to pull back.

Dawn wasn't a violent person, but she really needed to be just this once. She didn't enjoy what she did next. She stomped down on Jo's foot, taking her by surprise, and losing her grip on the girl slightly. She spun around and slammed the rock into her waist, knocking her off balance.

She let go of Dawn, setting her free as Mike fired his slingshot.

The leech almost immediately bloated on Jo's forehead. She groaned, and dropped her gun. Dawn looked at her hands. She couldn't believe that she just attacked someone. Sure, she would throw a harmless pebble if someone hurt an animal, but she never full on hurt someone. She always thought herself to be a pacifist.

'I guess not anymore, though.' She thought to herself.

"This just in, with a final score of seven points to six, the Heroes win!"

None of the Heroes cheered. They were either still saddened that one of their belongings were burnt, or too shocked that Jo was really going to injure Dawn.

It was a pretty tense evening. The Villains sat once again on the stumps in the ground as the Heroes were once again in the peanut gallery.

"Welcome back, Villainous Vultures!" Chris smirked. "Second elimination, way to lose!" He chuckles. "Get ready to cut someone loose, it's votin' time!"

As the Villains started to make their votes, things on the Heroes were just as tense.

"I hope it's Heather." Trent mumbled.

"I hope not, Jo's a much bigger threat. And after what she did to Dawn today, she's ruthless!" Sierra countered.

"Yeah, but Heather destroyed our stuff." Trent argued.

"Do we know that for certain?" Cameron asked him. Trent shrugged, not really caring to respond.

"I do hope that Jo goes today." Dawn says quietly. "After what she did to me today, the game will only make her more violent."

Trent laughed bitterly. "With Chris, he'll find a way to keep her in."

Dawn glances at Trent, and almost immediately notices that his aura is starting to change.

"The votes are in!" Chris announced as Chef handed him the plate of marshmallows and the Robot wheeled in, holding the photos backwards.

"But before we announce our loser de jour," Chris continues, "I need one Hamster to volunteer for exile."

Trent stands up. "I don't have anything else to lose." He walks off the peanut gallery.

As Chef walked off with Trent, Chris continued the ceremony. "Alright, onwards and flush-wards. The following Villains are safe." He picks up the marshmallows and starts throwing them. The Robot drops a photo every time he says a name. "Gwen." She catches her marshmallow, expecting herself to be one of the last people to be called safe. "Courtney. Lightning. Duncan. And Scott." He announced, leaving the two rivals, Jo and Heather, left.

"Heather and Jo, you're on the edge. Heather for being a pain in the keister, and Jo, for being a pain in the keister, took out her your own teammate, and was extremely violent to one of the Heroes!" He chuckles sadistically at the last part while Jo just rolls her eyes again.

"And tonight's flushee is…Jo!" He announced and the Robot dropped the picture, revealing Jo with a red 'X' over her face as Chris tossed Heather the last marshmallow.

"What!? Are you all nuts!?" Jo asked, standing up and staring at her teammates.

"Sorry, toots, you're just too violent to be kept around here." Duncan shrugged.

"But before we get flushing, I wanna do a little reshuffling." Chris told everyone as he walked towards the Villains, who were still sitting.

"Today, one Villain acted more like Hero...actually that's it. So, Lightning, pack your bags and switch teams.

Lightning's eyes went wide and he looked at the other team. "Wait a sha-second! How is Lightning a Hero?" He asked, standing up.

"You saved one of the Heroes from being the leeched during the challenge, good enough for ya?"

Lightning opened his mouth to argue, but closed once he realized he won't be on the same team as Scott. "Yeah, it's cool. Now I won't be pulled down by that dirt farmer." He jabs his thumb towards Scott, who glares in response.

"Oh!" Chris adds, looking at the Villains and Heroes team now. "Just so the teams aren't lopsided, hm…"

"But that ruins the point of making the teams Heroes versus Villains!" Sierra pleaded.

"Don't care." Chris replied simply, looking over each Hero.

He looks over at the Heroes, thinking which Hero he should move to be a Villain. His eye finally settles on someone and he smirks.

"Dawn."

Dawn's heart drops. She's going to have to be on the same team as so many people with horrible auras. She sighs, knowing that arguing is pointless. She steps off the peanut gallery, meeting Lightning as they walked to their new teams.

"Good luck to you on the Heroes." Dawn smiled slightly at him.

"Ha! Lightning doesn't need luck!" Lightning smirked confidently as he strut over to the Heroes. Dawn sighs. "I was just trying to be nice." She says under her breath before joining the Villains.

"Any final words?" Chris asked as Jo floated in the bowl. "Just flush it already!" Jo said, annoyed. Chris presses the button, and Jo goes down the toilet.

"I will not miss her." Chris smiles. "Tune in next time for more sweet, sweet mayhem, here, on Total! Drama! All-Stars!"
