AN: Right, so, this episode is more of a filler, but I think it's still entertaining, nonetheless! And, it seems that these episodes are getting shorter! I promise the next one will be longer! And, since this one was so short, I just decided to post it today instead of waiting until tomorrow.
acl97 gioia: Yeah, "What" is right, this is what I get for trying to fix a spelling mistake after not noticing it. You should probably re-read it, now that I fixed it, I dunno. But if you do, could you maybe, possibly, post a review?
Nicky Haugh: Thank you! Yeah, I think she had that coming, as well.
Food Fright
The episode fades in on Chris standing on the dock.
"Last time on a very special episode of All-Stars: it was all about teamwork, or lack thereof. Good job, Villains. The challenge? An epic leechball battle, which brought out everyone's inner psycho, especially Jo, which is why she got flushed.
"But, it was a huge act of vandalism that is bringing Trent over the deep end! Huh, maybe I should've made him a Villain instead of Dawn...psyche! Now, Dawn's a Villain, Lightning's a Hero, and I'm a genius!
"Ohh, it's gonna get nasty! Will the Villains win another challenge? Find out now on Total! Drama! All-Stars!
It was pouring rain. The Loser Cabins weren't exactly the best place to be, especially since the back of the cabins were burnt.
Scott and Duncan are the only boys left on the Villains, and are sleeping peacefully despite the rain seeping through the ceiling.
The door suddenly opens, waking up Scott and Duncan. In the shadow is a burly man carrying a large sack over his head. The two scream in fear until the figure steps into the room, revealing itself to be Chef. He throws the bag in the middle of the room, covering the two contestants in gruel.
Duncan groans, spitting out some gruel from his mouth. "I hope we aren't the only ones getting this treatment." A moment later, Courtney's scream rings out. "What is wrong with you!?" She presumably questions Chef from the other side of the wall.
"Good." Duncan smirks.
Confessional: Dawn
"I sense tension on the Villains has been rising recently. Courtney feels that being on the same team as Gwen and Duncan will be her own downfall, and that she cannot trust anyone around her." She sighs sadly.
"Courtney isn't really as bad as others make her out to be. I sense a darkness growing in Trent, but with another darkness growing in someone else, I can only hope I am not too late to help either of them."
Spa Hotel
Giggling can be heard in the spa hotel. Lightning yawns and walks in, rubs his eyes and looks around. The light suddenly flickers on and all of the Heroes reveal themselves, and the butler holds a cake.
"Surprise! Welcome to the Hero team, Lightning!" They all shout unison, except B.
B pulls out a air gun, points it at Lightning, and fires. Lightning winces, expecting something hard to hit him until he opens his eyes to see that he's wearing a party hat and has a party blower in his mouth.
Confessional: Lightning
"Lightning's confused!" He tells the camera. "They tell Lightning that he is welcome to the Hero team and give him a cake? Sha-what!?" He slams his hand in his fist, now believing something else. "Lightning gets what they're tryin' to do! They're tryin' to get Lightning to lose his guard and then kick me off! But I can't lose and I won't lose! Lightning's gonna win this and head all the way to the finals! Sha-bam!"
"So Lightning, I'm sure you're glad to be away from the Villains, huh?" Mike asks, snickering. Zoey elbows him. "Mike! That wasn't funny!" She scolds him. Mike stops snickering, then looks confused.
"Yeah, I don't know why I said that…" Mike realized, and scratches his chin.
"Well Lightning's okay with it! Now that he's away from the challenge thrower," he explains, jabbing his thumb over his shoulder towards the loser cabins, "there's no way Lightning's gonna lose! Sha-bam!" He flexes.
"Glad to see you're optimistic." Zoey smiles.
"Lightning's always…" he frowns and scratches his head. "Uh...that word."
Boney Island
Trent took another bite of the beaver he cooked over an open fire. He examined the dagger he found rather early on. It's funny. He found it pretty quickly after stepping off the boat, so why didn't Scott grab it? He didn't care.
No, Trent didn't care. He started to have feelings towards Dawn, but he pushed them aside. He was having a hard time.
And the dark figure watching him knew it. He smirked. Maybe it was time for Trent to stop being as cool as he was before, anyway. And his guitar burning definitely helped.
The man in red raised his hand and flicked his wrist. Moments later, Trent pocketed the dagger he found, the same one that that the blue haired man left for Trent to find, and he tossed the beaver meat into the fire, before putting it out.
The figure smiled to himself. No need waiting around, the speeding up process will take full effect in the next few hours, or maybe days? Who knows?
Trent heard the sound of a whirring helicopter. He hadn't combed his hair and he had dark bags under his eyes. But was he actually tired? He developed insomnia sometime before the season began.
Chef dropped the claw and Trent grabbed it and held on. He pressed another button and the claw lifted a bit, and the helicopter turned around. Back to the island.
Back on Camp Wawanakwa, the rain had finally stopped and the intercom turned on. "Okay, now that the weather's cleared up, get your water-logged butts to today's beat down! I mean- Challenge!"
The contestants arrived at the clearing, the Heroes a few feet away from the Villains.
"Welcome contestants," Chris smiled. "Before we begin, let's bring back last night's exile." He points up at the helicopter that has just arrived. "Trent!"
Trent jumps down from the claw and lands next to Chris.
"Welcome back, how was Boney Island for ya, huh?" He smirked.
"Go to Hell, McLean." Trent replied, earning gasps from the original cast and Dawn. He noticed that Dawn was standing with the Villains and Lightning was with the Heroes. "Why is Lightning with my team?" He asked bitterly.
"Team switch, and as a result, Dawn is now on the Villains." Chris answered.
Trent looked at Lightning, then turning to see Dawn a few feet away. Had he said he had a crush on her? Well, he didn't know what changed in the last few hours, but it was definitely gone now.
"Whatever." Trent shrugged, uncaring.
As Trent joined his team, he failed to notice that Gwen was giving him an incredulous look.
"Anyway," Chris started, ignoring that Trent has really started to change, "it's challenge time! Chef didn't have time to cook team loser's breakfast this morning, because he was busy cooking these!"
He gestures to two giant pancakes on a large wooden platform. One had the Villain's logo and the other had the Hero's logo.
"That's right! It's eating contest time! Each team has one minute to stuff up as much pancakey goodness as they can. When a Hero's eating time is up, they hear this:"
A heavenly melody plays from a speaker.
"And the Villains get this:"
A pig squeal is heard from the other speaker.
"Then all you have to do is race through a nausea inducing obstacle course."
"Obstacle course?" Cameron gulped.
The host attempted to stifle back laughter as he talked, "It's a nod to the mad skills course from last season...the toughest parts, anyway. First, you've got to get past the bouncy butts, they're a real pain. Then, it's off to the retching rolling pins. And a swift kick from the grape crusher to get you back in line." He explained, the camera cutting to each obstacle as he spoke about them.
"Pfft, that won't be so hard." Scott says smugly, rolling his eyes.
"Really? Huh, I wasn't gonna add this, but since Scott's not impressed," he holds up a walkie-talkie, "bring it in!"
Chef returns in a helicopter with a giant wooden ring. He presses a button, releasing it, and as a result, impales it on a metal device next to the Robot, which seems to be operating the machine.
Chris starts speaking in a accent, "say hello to my metal friend!" He stops the accent and starts speaking normally, "I call it: the Salad Spinner! The perfect end to a barftastic course!"
Mike walks up to Chris nervously, "How does it work?"
"Probably painfully." Was the reply, before continuing, looking towards the new addition to the course, "I dunno, we didn't have time to test it."
"Nice one, Scott." Courtney compliments the ginger sarcastically.
"Oh yeah, one more thing. Players have to get through the course without," he coughs into his fist, "regurgitating to get back in line, and stay in the game. But!" He adds, "You're benched! Leaving the other players on your team to eat up without your help.
"Once your pancake's done, you must complete the obstacle course one last time to win. Ready! Set! Scarf!" With that, he blew his trusty air horn.
Sierra ran to the pancake first and started eating for the Heroes.
"One side, I'll go first!" Duncan volunteered, running towards the pancake and taking several bites out of it. After a few bites, he noticed eyes in the pancake. He attempts to take a step back but the eyes leap out at him, revealing small tiny rats, biting at his face. He yells out in pain as he tries to pull the rats off.
"Oh yeah, there might be some booby traps in those pain cakes!" Chris taunted at the two teams.
Sierra has eaten a good portion of her pancake, and spots a pile of blue orbs in the pancake. "Are those blueberries?" She asks out loud to no one in particular.
"I've never heard of fish eyes being called that, but, sure." Just after he says that, Sierra vomits off-screen.
"And Sierra is benched? Who's next?" He narrated as Sierra sat down on the bench, now unable to compete in the challenge.
"It's time for the sha-Lightning!" Lightning shouts as he runs to the Hero pancake.
Meanwhile with the Villains, Duncan has eaten a good chunk of pancake and pulled out several traps, including a bear trap and a baseball bat. He glances up at the speaker, which makes a pig squeal noise.
"Eatin' time is over for Duncan, now it's beatin' time!" Chris announced, clearly excited that one of the contestants was going to possibly get seriously injured.
Duncan jumps across the bouncy butts, cursing a swear that has to be bleeped every time it bounces him until he reaches the other end. Chris can be heard laughing as he continues onto the rolling pins, which he passes after a bit of trouble. He finally reached the boot and stands below it. After a few seconds, the boot swings down and launches the delinquent into the spinner.
The Robot pulls the lever, spinning the spinner. Duncan's cheeks bulge until it stops suddenly. A door opens and he tumbles out onto the wooden platform.
"So thaaaat's how it works." Chris says with his seemingly permanent smile.
Heather turns to Scott, who is hunched over, holding his stomach in pain. "Dirt for brains, you're next." She tells him, not caring for his pain.
"The gruel is giving me lead gut," Scott groans, "I forgot that happens when you eat too much of the good stuff."
Dawn looks at Scott in sympathy. She has really noticed a change in his aura. She places a hand on Scott's shoulder. "Believe me, Scott. Nothing bad will happen to you in this challenge. But I'm afraid, that if we lose, you may be voted off." She tells him. Scott's eyes widen in fear and stands up straight.
"Well, when you put it like that…" he trails off, walking towards the pancake.
Heather smirks at Dawn. "Nice one. You really got him motivated, nice manipulation."
"Manipulation? I was just warning him of the truth." She replies calmly.
And the amount of respect Heather had for her quickly fades with those few words.
Scott is now eating the Villain pancake while Lightning is still eating the Hero pancake. The speaker sounds and Lightning tosses away the piece he had been eating.
"Sha-bam!" He cheers as he jumps onto on of the butts, bouncing him to the next.
Scott is eating, groaning. "I'm stuffed like a Thanksgiving pigeon." He groans, holding another piece of the pancake. The speaker sounds.
"Hurry up, farm boy!" Heather yells.
"You should go next." Courtney stated, walking up to her. Heather spins around and looks at the former CIT.
"Why would I go next? I'm team captain!"
"Because I said so!"
Gwen groans and walks past the two, leaving both of them confused.
Confessional: Gwen
"If I don't puke, maybe I can make things up with Courtney…! And win!"
Lightning runs to the edge of the platform. The boot swings down, launching him into the spinner.
The Robot pulls the lever, spinning Lightning around and around. Finally, he door opens and stumbles out, dazed. "Lightning's goin' to the super bowl, sha-bam!" he falls over, dazed.
Chris laughs at the sight of Lightning. "Which team will finish their barftastic breakfast first? Find out after the break."
Commercial break.
"We're back! The Vultures are in the lead, but for how long?" Chris asked the camera as Scott was stuck in a butt in the background.
"I'm on it!" Mike shouts, running up to the platform and starts eating away at the pancake.
Confessional: Mike
"Even if I could access my multiple personalities, I don't think they'd help. Svetlana only eats veggies, Vito's a total carnivore, Manitoba hates carbs, and Chester would just complain there's too much syrup."
Scott steps onto the rolling pin, jamming it. "You break it, you buy it, Scott!" Chris shouted at him, annoyed.
The dirt farmer ran across the rolling pin and reached the next platform. "Too much gruel and pancake. Stomach feels like weighs a ton." The boot swings down, but only taps Scott over a few feet. "Um, a little help here?" He asked with an annoyed tone.
Chris tosses away one of the buttons he had and pulls out a black remote with a skull button on it. He presses it.
The boot goes back up to its original position, and two gas containers pop out of the bottom if the boot. They activate and the boot swings down quickly, nailing Scott and launching him into the spinner.
The Robot pulls the lever once again, and it spins Scott around and around, his cheeks bulging. The door finally opens and he almost immediately slides out.
"And Scott is safe to eat again!" Chris announces.
"You can do it, Mike!" Zoey cheered on her boyfriend as he ate the pancake.
Gwen keeps stuffing her face until she hears the squeal. Just as she shoves in her last bite, crabs crawl out of the pancake and lunge at her. She runs around, waving her arms.
"I'm not going after Gwen! She'll leave a booby trap in there for me!" Courtney argued with Heather.
"I think she's a little to busy for that." Heather quipped.
"Fine! I'll go next! If we lose Gwen goes next, deal?" Courtney asks the queen of mean, offering her a handshake.
"Deal." She turns around and shakes her hand. Unbeknownst to Courtney, Heather crossed her fingers behind her back.
"The Villains are two-thirds done, but it seems the Heroes need to up their appetite big time." Chris told the audience, pointing at two pie charts of each team.
Mike smiles as the speaker goes off, but looks down to see that a stick of lit dynamite is in the pancake. Before he can run, it explodes and launches him over the course, into the spinner.
The Robot pulls the lever, spinning Mike around and around, his cheeks bulging. Finally it stops, and the hatch opens. The kid with five brains, or is it six, falls out closest to the Robot. He gasps, his hair falling over his left eye and dark circles appearing around them. Just to avoid confusion, we'll call him by his name: Mal.
Confessional: Mal
"It appears Trent is beginning to lose it." He chuckles darkly. "Then, let's break him."
Mal pulls a lever down on the bottom of the panel. "Can't resist a little chaos." He chuckled, before laughing maniacally. He gasped, reverting back to Mike, who laughs awkwardly. "Why am I laughing when I feel like barfing?" He asked to one one in particular.
Gwen's scream is heard and she lands in the spinner. The Robot pulls the lever, but a light flashes red as it activated the spinner, which was now going much faster than it is supposed to.
"What's happening!?" Gwen shouted. After a few agonizing seconds, she flew out if the spinner at high-speed, slamming into the side of a tree, where a crack is heard. She falls backwards off the tree onto her back.
Chris doubles over in laughter while Duncan, Dawn, and the Heroes looked concerned, minus Lightning.
Chef walked over to Gwen and picked her up, examining her arm. "Yup, it's broken." He confirms.
Confessional: Mal
"Perfect."
Cameron now eats for the Heroes while Courtney eats for the Villains. As Courtney eats, the pancake explodes, launching green jelly all over her body. She stands up in fear.
"Green jelly! Get it off me! Get it off me!" She screamed, running around and waving her arms like crazy.
"Why is she freaking out so much?" Mike asked.
"Season one! Phobia factor challenge! She's terrified of the stuff!" Sierra yelled out from the bench.
Cameron heard that his time was up from the speaker and ran towards the bouncy butts. "My weight, divided by perfect angle, times fear of failure...here goes!" He jumps forward and off the platform, only to fall straight down into the mud.
Courtney has cleaned herself off from the jelly and has resumed eating the pancake. The pig squeal is heard and she stands up, and runs towards the first obstacle.
Cameron groans and rubs his head, not really paying attention until a boot comes down and hits him, sending him flying, though he missed the spinner entirely.
The Robot beeped in a way to sound like 'uh oh', just before Cameron slammed into it, knocking both Cameron and the Robot off the platform and into the mud.
"Cam!" Zoey and Mike sprint to Cameron's aid. They help him up before realizing that the Robot is broken. The helmet has broken off, so has an arm, and a tan arm stuck out. They looked up at his face, seeing a 5 o'clock shadow and long messy hair.
"Hola, All-Stars!" Alejandro smiled his familiar smile.
Sierra had watched it all, with her mouth agape.
Courtney climbed out of the spinner, and saw Alejandro inside a robot suit, lying in the mud. "No way." She muttered quietly with shock.
Mike and Zoey pried the robot chest off of Alejandro, and helped him to his feet. Or at least they attempted to, as he almost immediately collapsed, his legs wobbling from under him.
Heather looked over to see why Courtney was taking so long to return, and she found out why. She gasped and let out a yell of shock. "You have GOT to be kidding me!" She yelled.
"Shocking revelations aside, it looks like the Villains are about to taste victory! And maybe some old shoes, we out some in their pancake." Chris narrated, ignoring the fact that Alejandro is back.
Trent shoved himself to the front of the Heroes line and started eating away at the pancake, and really does start to even the odds due to most of the Villains being too surprised by Alejandro's sudden return.
Dawn noticed that Trent was eating through his pancake quickly and shook Heather's shoulders slightly to bring her back to reality. "Heather, we need an eater."
"So what? You do it, who cares!?" Heather asked, not really paying attention to the challenge anymore.
Dawn sighed and walked over to the pancake. She took small bites, hoping to not find a trap of any kind.
The pig squeal and the nice melody came out of the speaker at the same time. Trent bolted for the bouncy butt. Dawn stood up and ran after him.
He jumped onto the first bouncy butt, to the second, and so on. Dawn had a harder time jumping across, but due to her not eating too much pancake, she was already in the clear for vomiting.
Trent ran to the boot. Just as the boot was about to come down, Dawn ran in. They were both hit, sending both if them into the spinner. Except Dawn got more lucky. Trent crashed through the side of the wooden spinner.
It was activated by a short chubby intern, taking Alejandro's place. It finally stopped and Trent slipped out of the new hole in the wall as Dawn climbed out of the hatch.
B ran for the pancake before Zoey could, and started to devour the remains of the pancake.
"The Heroes have scored back, people! It's neck and neck!" Chris announced as Heather and B ate.
Alejandro walked in on his hands, as he is unable to use his feet currently.
"Long time, no see, Heather." He smirks, watching Heather eat the pancake. She simply ignores him.
Silent genius, B, finishes the pancake first and the speaker plays a halo sound. He stands up, his face covered in bee stings from the amount of pancake traps he went through. He runs to the first obstacle.
Heather finishes the pancake and groans. Now she knew how Scott felt. She gives chase to B. She wasn't going to be beat by someone who doesn't even talk!
B jumps onto the bouncy butts. He does it easily enough, but Heather does it even easier. He runs onto the rolling pins. Heather follows close behind. Just as B steps off the rolling pin, Heather sticks out her foot, tripping him. The Villains, except Dawn, cheer for Heather taking the lead. The Heroes, except Trent and Lightning, shout out encouraging words towards B.
Heather reaches the boot. She smirks. She believes she's won. B runs in just as the boot swung down, sending both of them into the salad spinner.
The intern pulls the lever and both contestants' cheeks bulge. Finally it stops and the door opens, though nobody crawls out. Both Heroes and Villains look tense, waiting for whoever to crawl out to be apart of their team.
Heather's hand reaches the edge, but she is suddenly dragged back in, screaming. After a few seconds, B slams down on the wooden platform. He breathes on his nails and rubs them on his coat.
"The Heroic Hamsters win!" Chris announces. The Heroes cheer, except Trent.
Alejandro walks on his hands towards the salad spinner. Heather is leaning out, groaning. "Well done, Heather." He congratulates her sarcastically. "I was going to offer myself to take your place, but I guess you believe my services aren't required." With that, he walks away.
The Heroes are once again sitting in the peanut gallery. The Villains are sitting on the tree stumps. Alejandro is now standing on his hands next to Chris. One noticeable change is that Gwen has a sling around her arm.
"Listen up, campers. For I have a shocking announcement to make! I've spoken to Alejandro, here, and he is officially competing with the Villainous Vultures, however, he is not up for elimination tonight."
"WHAT!? Heather stood up, enraged. "That is not fair!" She shouted.
"Too bad, my game, my rules." He said, pointing at himself. "Now go get voting."
Seven screens are displayed, each Villain is crossing an 'X' on a photo.
"Alright, so, marshmallows go to: Alejandro, Duncan, Courtney, Scott, and Dawn. That leaves, Gwen and Heather."
The two glare at each other. They remember their past, all of it starting back from the first season, the second season, the third season, and even this season.
"Gwen, you're on the chopping block because your broken arm may prove to be a liability to your team." Gwen sighs and looks downwards. "Heather, you're on the chopping block just for being Heather." She scowls at Chris.
"The last marshmallow goes to…" He drew it out. Heather and Gwen glared at each other. But for a brief moment, their glares soften. Sure, there wasn't many good memories between the two of them, but they still came to mind.
"Gwen!" The host finally announced. She didn't even bother catching her marshmallow.
Heather just sighs. She takes a long look at Alejandro, who is smirking. "What did you do?" She asks him.
"Nothing. Revenge is just a dish best served cold." She said, his eyes twinkling with excitement. She wasn't sure what he did, but she knew he played a card in her elimination.
"Now, which winner will be more like a loser tonight on Boney Island?" Chris asked the Heroes. Trent just shrugged.
"Me." Trent said simply.
Heather was in the bowl. Chris was had his usual smile on his face. The only person who bothered to see Heather off was Alejandro. "Any last words?" He asked her.
"Let's do this." She said, putting it simply. Chris presses the button and she screams, swirling down the toilet.
"The Heroes have won again! But can they do it again, again? Find out next time on Total! Drama! All-Stars!"
