Nicky Haugh: Thank you! I hope you enjoy the season finale!
Guest: I hope also doesn't go as badly. I agree with you, that suggestion was not the smartest thing Mike could ever say. I hope you enjoy the season finale!
theawesomedragonhunter: Yeah, she thinks that over a bit in this final episode. And, I guess you'll just have to find out. I hope you enjoy the season finale!
Piecesxoxo: A lot of people seem to be pleased that Courtney made it. I hope you enjoy the season finale!
The Final Wreck-ening
The show fades in on the now repaired dock. Chris is standing in his second season blue suit alongside Chef, who was holding the million dollar case.
"This season on Total Drama All-Stars: sixteen competitors returned for one million dollars! Your favorite heroes and villains battled for supremacy in our most painful and grueling challenges ever! But, it was the betrayals that cut the deepest.
"In our first challenge, it was a organization of the two teams, and, a homage to the first ever Total Drama challenge. It's shame the Heroes didn't have Owen on their side, huh? Either way, it was still Ezekiel who got cut first once again.
"In a statue scavenger hunt, B proved himself to her useful asset for his team, and so was Lightning for another reason. But the biggest twist was when Scott tricked Lindsay into helping him, which ultimately got the dumb blonde eliminated. Wow, that was fast.
"For the Villains, the rivalry for management of the team reached the boiling point between Heather and Jo, two contestants who dominated the seasons they had been in. In a shocking twist, when the Villains were sent back to vote someone off, it was Jo who, unfortunately, bit the dust.
"Just when everyone thought that it was smooth sailing, guess which handsome Spaniard came back? That's right! Alejandro returned and got Heather eliminated for hurting him back in season three! What goes around comes around.
"Of course, the challenges were easy until that point, so we had to kick it up a notch. The teams had to infiltrate two Area 51 type bases and extract a laptop. Both teams bit it hard, but the one who bit the hardest was B. I'll see you never, silent treatment!
"And then came the Blue Harvest Moon, which turned the ratings into gold! It was also when we got a good look at two specific individuals. Those two individuals being Mike and Dawn. Oh well, luckily we got to keep those two, but was see you never Cameron!
"Then we went to the Fun Zone! It's a shame Larry didn't get a meal, but do you know who did? The Heroes after they won the challenge, and the Villains sent Dawn packing!
"The teams faced off in epic boxing challenges, but there were so many twists, including Alejandro exposing Mal, Mike's new evil personality. But that wasn't even the end of it because Mal exposed Duncan for using Gwen the whole time! Well, those two aren't together. But, unfortunately, it was because of Mal that we lost Alejandro yet again, one tooth missing.
"We saw how the teams could face off in a brawl, but how about with their smarts? Well, we tested that, and the Heroes voted off none other than super-fan, Sierra!
"Did you think we were done? Oh no, it was a race around the island, and alliances were made, and tested! Ultimately, it was the athletic overachiever that is Lightning that had been voted off after the Immunity Idol was played.
"The episode after, let's face it, nothing interesting happened except for Gwen getting injured in a mine and getting eliminated.
"Anyway, in the ultimate obstacle course, it was Mal and Duncan against everyone else. In the end, Duncan threw himself into the toilet to save Mal from elimination, and eliminated himself.
"In yet another race around the island for ice cream flavors and toppings, Mal proved that Zoey wasn't as heartless as she tried to look. Then, it was elimination time, and it was Scott that got cut loose!
"In the penultimate challenge, Courtney won the challenge, and Zoey and Trent took a ride in the Flush of Shame.
"After fourteen killer challenges, we're down to our final two players. Who will take home the million dollar prize? Will it be crotch-bruiser CIT, Courtney? Or will it be the evil genius formally known as Mike?
"Find out right here, right now, on the season finale of! Total! Drama! All-Stars!"
10 Hours Before the Challenge
It was the evening Trent and Zoey had been flushed. Courtney hated herself. She brought Mal to the finale. She should've brought Trent. It would've been an easy win.
Well, knowing Chris, he was probably going to flush Trent anyway due to injury.
"Do you realize what you've done?" Mal asked Courtney as they walked back to their respective cabins.
"I know exactly what I've done. I am being a decent human being by eliminating Trent, who was injured!" Courtney yelled at Mal, looking at him in his one visible eye.
"And it was a mistake. I would've competed with anyone injured in a competition. But I'm afraid I shouldn't harm you if I want to conserve my energy for tomorrow."
Mal brushed past Courtney onto the steps of the loser cabin.
"Go to Hell." Courtney muttered, loudly enough for Mal to hear.
The malevolent personality stopped on the step he stood at, turning his head slightly towards Courtney.
Courtney felt threatened, even if this evil man wasn't talking to her.
She shuddered, remembering the things this man did to all of them. To Trent. Cameron. Alejandro. Sierra. Lightning. Gwen. Duncan. Zoey. Hell, even Scott!
And now she stood about three feet away from him. The same man that caused so much chaos over this one individual season.
No, she missed one person. The one person that has been dealing with Mal for the longest time, possibly without anyone besides his parents or therapist knowing about. The one person who has suffered the most out of anyone on this godforsaken island. The same person that had been blackmailed by Alejandro and Scott against his disorder. One for his feelings for another, and the other for hiding Mal from everyone else. And that person was Mike.
Courtney would probably jump for joy if Mike came back right at this moment, and banished Mal away for good.
No, not jump for joy, but wouldn't go as hard against him tomorrow in the finale.
"I've already been there." Mal responded calmly.
Mal stepped into the loser cabin and shut the door behind him.
Courtney watched the door, deep in thought. Since when did her morals get in the way of her actions? It was bullshit.
Courtney's glare began to morph into a look of determination.
This was the farthest she's ever gotten on Total Drama, and no way was she fucking it up now.
She turned and walked to the spa hotel, opening the one usable door, and shutting it behind her.
The place was a mess. Mal definitely did a number on this place after Duncan's elimination.
The butler hadn't gotten off easy, either. He was shaking from his confrontation with Mal almost immediately following the delinquent's elimination.
She would never admit this out loud, as she still hated Duncan for everything he's done, but she still hopes he is at least okay after everything Mal did to him.
Courtney began up the stairs to one of the female bedrooms. The butler had given up on cleaning or fixing anything. He was asleep on the couch.
Courtney opened one of the doors and entered, closing the door behind her.
Sitting on her bed, one thing came to Courtney's mind.
What was it that created Mal?
Back down in the loser cabin, Mal sat on one of the beds, crossing his legs.
He was so close to the million he could taste it.
Courtney made a mistake bringing him to the finale. She will regret it.
And Mike?
Even if Mike was cut free from that theater, Mike would never be able to complete the challenges in each floor of the tower.
It is always a pleasure to see Mike and his friends suffer.
Mal chuckled darkly.
3 Hours Before the Challenge
Courtney had gotten up and ate breakfast from whatever was still left in the fridge.
She wanted to do her best to conserve energy for the final challenge of the season.
The butler was nowhere to be seen, and Mal hadn't left the loser cabin.
The former CIT leaned down on the counter she stood at, letting out a long sigh. It only took four seasons, but she made it to the finale.
Now all she had to do was take down that evil bastard.
She definitely misjudged him. She thought Mal was going to be weak, but after these last few days, that opinion of him completely vanished from her mind.
And in three hours, a winner would be crowned.
In the loser cabin across the way, Mal threw on a black button-up shirt to match with his black jeans.
It had been so easy.
So easy to take control of Mike.
Throughout the years, Mike had been unknowingly building up his fears. And it doubled during the fourth season.
It was what allowed Mal to take control.
And now Mike was trapped in his subconscious.
As these thoughts went through his head, Mal wrapped his blood red tie around his neck, tightening it.
No one will know how easy it all was.
Confessional: Mal
"Courtney's morals overcame her, and she brought me to the finale. With her as weak as she is, and Mike trapped in my subconscious, that million dollars is mine!" Mal laughed evilly.
Mal's evil laughter echoes throughout the island, the camera looking up at the sun as the laughter died away.
It had hit the three hour mark.
"Good morning, finalists! Meet me in the forest clearing and get ready to diet! Sorry, typo. Ready to die!"
The finalists walked through the forest together.
"Why don't you let Mike out?" Courtney asked, breaking the silence.
Mal smiled a bit. "Do you think that weasel could have possibly made it as far as I have? He won't stand a chance in the finale of a show like this."
"I'd rather be up against that weasel Mike then a weasel like yourself, Mal." Courtney responded with a glare.
"Oh, Courtney. Don't you get it yet?" Mal asked, circling around the former CIT. "Mike is gone, and he won't ever come back."
Courtney glared at Mal hard. "How do you expect me to believe you?"
Mal just shrugged. "You don't. That's your own assumption."
Confessional: Courtney
"Give me a break. Mike isn't gone. And if he does return, I'm pretty sure I can crush him."
"Congratulations on making it to the finale." Chris told Mal and Courtney when they reached the clearing.
Something had been covered with red curtains as if it were a play.
"It's something you'll regret for the rest of your lives." The host continued. "Which will likely be cut short because this challenge is so vicious, so brutal, so savage…that our lawyers said we had to change it."
Throughout this explanation, Mal nor Courtney looked worried about the challenge.
"So what? You made it less 'dangerous'?" Courtney asked, using air quotes around the word 'dangerous'.
"No, but we told them we did!" Chris laughed, turning to Chef. "High-five!"
Chef just stared at Chris blankly in response.
"People gonna die." He finally spoke.
"Yeah, those people." The host responded, jabbing his thumb towards Mal and Courtney, to which Courtney grew a more worried look while Mal remained unimpressed.
Confessional: Mal
"Frankly, I don't care if I die. All this challenge means to me is that if I die, I drag Mike down with me." Mal told the camera before laughing evilly.
"Combatants, choose your weapons!" Chris announced, gesturing towards the large board next him, to which the curtains opened up and revealed several weapons on hooks.
"So, what'll it be? Meatball bazooka? Bow and blood tipped arrows, a leech gun, a slingshot, or a-why is there an oven mitt there!?"
"There was an extra hook!" Chef sheepishly replied, running to the mitt and taking it from the board.
Mal grabbed the meatball bazooka from the hook as Courtney did the leech gun.
"Now that you've got yourself a weapon, you'll need them to pop these balloons." Chris told the two finalists, gesturing towards orange balloon with ropes tying them to the ground.
"Each one contains a previously flushed All-Star."
"Can they breathe in there?" Courtney asked, looking up at the balloons.
"Don't know, don't care." Chris shrugged uncaringly. "You have thirty seconds, any All-Star you shoot down becomes your helper. And...go!"
The host with the most pulled out his air horn and pushed the button, marking the beginning of this part of the challenge.
Mal instantly lifted his meatball bazooka onto his shoulder and fired two shots at two balloons, missing both of them.
Courtney lifted her leech gun and fired, hitting a balloon and popping it.
Gwen was revealed to be inside it and fell to the ground below with a yelp.
Mal fired thrice more, but all three shots missed their respective targets.
Courtney smirked at Mal's weapon design function, and fired off another round of leeches, popping another balloon to reveal Scott.
"Yes!" Courtney cheered, raising her gun again and firing off another shot, striking a balloon holding none other than Zoey.
"Courtney picks up Gwen, Scott, and Zoey! Mal, ya might wanna start trying." Chris announced, looking over at Mal.
Mal groaned, glancing over at Courtney.
"Courtney, why don't you take a break?" Mal spun around, aiming his bazooka at Courtney's head, and opens fire.
Courtney gasps. Unable to duck from the shot, the meatball slams into her head, knocking her to the ground.
Mal turned back towards the balloons, smiling at Courtney's cries of pain, and takes three more shots.
The first meatball crashes into a balloon, popping it and revealing Heather, letting her fall to the earth.
The second balloon popped, and Alejandro fell from it, his tooth still missing from what Mal did to him.
The third and final shot slammed into a balloon, popping it and sending a blonde to the ground. Jo grunts as she attempts to get to her feet.
Chris blows the air horn just as Jo touched the ground. "Times up! Intern, go get the other helpers, please." The intern nods and walks to the nearest balloon to help them out as Chris looks towards the six choose helpers.
Confessional: Courtney
"Thought I probably wouldn't really need the help, it is nice to have some. Gwen is a good ally and friend. Scott is still a wild card. I'm not entirely sure about Zoey, but I still don't trust her for a second."
Confessional: Mal
"If any of those three get in my way, I'll bury them alive."
"Alejandro, Jo, and Heather! You will be helping Mal!" Chris announced as the respective helpers stood up and walked towards the finalists.
"Zoey, Gwen, and Scott, you're on Team Zoey. But, you six are here as helpers ONLY. Meaning, you can't win."
Scott and Jo groaned from this announcement as the others looked fine with the rule. Eerily, Heather was one of the contestants fine with this rule.
"Meaning no money." Chris pressed on, hoping to get a reaction from Heather. When she didn't seem to react, Chris went on.
"Zero money, plenty of pain."
Still, nothing came from Heather. Getting fed up with no reaction, Chris leaned in with a megaphone.
"Heather!? Can you hear me!?"
"Yes, Chris. I hear you." Heather bitterly responded. "Alejandro and I are fine with the rules."
Chris reeled back in horror. "Oh no! Are you two...dating!?"
Confessional: Alejandro and Heather
The confessional opens up with Heather sitting on Alejandro's lap, and his arm around her waist.
"We don't want the money!" Heather started.
"The money was getting in the way of our happiness."
"Once we were eliminated we could finally be together!"
"And together, we are happy."
"That's what I was gonna say."
"I knew you were going to say that."
"I knew you knew."
The two lean in for a kiss, but are interrupted when someone pounds on the door.
"Out! Get out! That is the most disgusting thing that has ever happened in there!" Chris shouted from the outside, earning eye rolls from both Alejandro and Heather.
Confessional: Jo
"Great, looks like Toothy and Old Heather are back at it again. I wonder how long that's gonna last." She snickers.
Chris rode with an intern in what seemed to be a golf cart, hooked together with two trailers, one of them holding Mal, Alejandro, Heather, and Jo, with the next one holding Courtney, Gwen, Zoey, and Scott.
"Mal, Courtney, this season I decided to come up with something really danger-uhhh…" Chris trailed off, remembering that the intern was there. "I mean, special for the both of you."
The carts rolled to a stop. "Say hello to the final challenge of Total Drama All-Stars! The Moats of Doom!"
Everyone, minus Mal, gasp at the sight of the challenge ahead of them.
"Each level as a sliver of safe-ish ground where you will find tools to help you survive the insane dangers that awaits you in each moat.
"The first moat, at ground level, is filled with toxic waste. You might wanna avoid falling in, unless you wanna go to the prom with Sylvan.
"Moat number two is...boiling hot lava!
"The third moat is just plain old swamp water. But, what lies underneath will DEFINITELY kill you!"
Zoey and Gwen gasp once more at the challenge they have to help Courtney complete.
Confessional: Gwen
"Y'know, floating away in a balloon, directly under the sun... that's looking pretty good right now."
"Mal, Courtney. If you somehow survive all three moats, you must say goodbye to your helpers and go it alone as you storm the castle." Chris gestured towards the castle he spoke of atop cliff.
"Take your life in your hands, as you fight your way past the Mad King."
"I am the Mad King." Chef unenthusiastically said from the top of the castle.
"If you get past the Mad King and pulls the Sword of Victory from the stone, you are the true Total Drama All-Star! And the winner of one! Million! Dollars!"
"And if they don't survive?" Jo asked, earning a glare from Courtney.
Chris shrugged. "Then one of the helpers win. I dunno, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it."
Zoey looked nervously at Mal. "Please come back, Mike." She whispered, just loud enough for Gwen and Scott to hear.
"Pfft, as if Mike is gonna come back at this point. It's been so long, he is probably locked in that tiny brain of his." Scott uncaringly said, crossing his arms.
Zoey looked towards the ground, hearing this. She hated to admit it but Scott did have a bit of logic in his reply towards her.
She wanted her boyfriend back desperately. And if Mike was really gone, then she wasn't gonna let Mal win.
Across from them, Mal was annoyed with the partners he shot down from the balloons. He hated the affection between Heather and Alejandro, and Jo's constant 'zingers' didn't help either.
But then again, the affection was an obvious weakness between the arch-villain and the queen of mean.
Ah yes, that's right, Jo probably hates Mal the most. He was, after all, the one who burnt her whistle. She was probably going to make a move on him to not win towards the end of the challenge.
Chris enjoyed the tension happening with each finalist. He looked towards the camera to allow the show to cut to a commercial.
"Will anyone survive the final challenge? If yes, will our winner be a queen or king? Find out right after the break on Total! Drama! All-Stars!"
Commercial break.
"Good luck, Courtney! You're gonna need it!" Mal shouted across the way, towards his finalist opponent.
Courtney rolled her eyes.
"Oh yeah!?" Scott shouted back, "Well, we're gonna light the matches, and then we're gonna burn the candles!"
Courtney facepalmed.
"On your mark!" Chris shouted through his megaphone. "Get set! Go!" The host blew the air horn, marking the beginning of the final challenge.
The two finalists and their helpers raced to the edge of the first moat, all of them desperately trying to come up with an idea to get across.
"It's too wide to jump across!" Zoey noticed.
"Maybe we can use these as stilts." Scott smirked, raising two long wooden poles and walks to the edge. He is suddenly stopped when Courtney grabs him by the shoulders.
"What are you thinking!?" Courtney asked, taking the poles from him. She gasps, finding an idea. "I'll be right back!"
The former CIT runs off as Mal looks over Heather on the edge of the first moat.
"How are you at...floating?" Mal asked, smirking.
"What?" Heather asked, confused at Mal's question.
Alejandro and Jo noticed two wooden poles similar to those of which Courtney received. "Hello." Alejandro smirked, holding two ends of the pole. He began to bend it, but to no avail. "Not bad."
A scream brought him back to the person he was supposed to be helping. Mal was holding Heather over his head, getting ready to drop her into the toxic waste.
"No! Stop!" Alejandro yelled, running to them as Jo grabbed another pole.
"I found a way across!" Alejandro told Mal, running next to him.
"We can pole vault."
Mal dropped Heather to the ground with to remorse whatsoever for the girl.
As Alejandro explained his plan to Mal, Scott and Gwen held up the two poles to the stone wall on the opposite side of the moat. Courtney held a rope in her hands.
"This is probably the worst idea I've ever had." She commented, throwing the rope over the pole. As she did this, Scott held it up just long enough for him to plant the second pole under it, letting it sink into the soil.
Courtney took a breath, and began to run, holding onto the rope for dear life as she jumped, swinging her legs upwards as the rope acted as a zip-line to get across the moat.
The pole began to dip downwards at the end, and Courtney, thinking quickly, swung herself around on the pole, landing on her feet on the concrete ground.
She grabbed the rope and tossed it back across the moat for Zoey to use next.
"Courtney has crossed the first moat! Courtney is in the lead! Courtney...winning!"
Mal scowled in annoyance at Chris. "Not for long." He smirked, holding the pole Alejandro gave him.
With no hesitation, he began his sprint to the edge of the moat, holding the pole firmly in his hands.
He began it down, finally hitting the pole against the edge of the moat, bending as Mal ran.
The pole pushed itself upwards, forcing Mal into the air, flying across the moat.
Mal landed his feet against the concrete ground, taking a step closer to the concrete wall, avoiding the toxic waste below him.
Noticing the ladder to the next level, Mal swung himself around, and began his way way up, putting his feet onto the wooden bars to help himself along.
"How do we get across!?" Heather shouted at Mal from safe area opposite of the first moat.
Mal turned his head to look back at his three helpers. "I'm not here to help you, you're here to help me! Figure it out!" He shouted back across.
"Such big anger for a little man." Alejandro shrugged, walking off with Heather.
On the second moat, Courtney and her three helpers climbed to the next safe area as Mal did so as well.
"Welcome to level two! All tied, no one's died. Yawn!" Chris said through a loudspeaker.
As Mal looked towards Courtney and her helpers, the camera zooms in on his head.
Mike's Mind
The elevator doors open, and Mike and his other personalities step out.
It was a hallway, with windows. Each window showed a memory. A memory of the things Mal has done.
"What is this place?" Mike asked as they walked through, looking towards each window.
"Mal's memories." Manitoba replied, looking out one of the windows.
Mike couldn't help but look around the hallway as they walked. At the end of the hallway was two dark doors.
"What's in there?" Mike questioned, looking at the doors.
"That's the room that emits Mal's power." Manitoba answered.
"Well, do you know what's in it?"
"No. Only Mal has seen the inside of it."
Mike glanced at one of the windows. He noticed something.
"Wait...these windows aren't just showing the things Mal has done…"
Within seconds, Mike found himself against the wall, closing his eyes. "That damn theater." Mike uttered, trying not to relive the memories.
"Mike, mate. We're almost out of here." Manitoba reassured.
"Can't we quit all this blubbering? I just wanna get this all done." Chester complained.
"Give Mike zis time. He haz come a long vay." Svetlana spoke up.
Mike tore his eyes open. He looked towards the door at the end of the hallway, and he stood up, walking to the door as quickly as he could, trying his best to ignore the windows.
As the five of them walked down the hall, Mike noticed each window got worse and worse. The memories worsening.
He really did try to ignore the windows, and they only made him want to leave this room quicker.
He wasn't even paying attention when he and the other four reached the double doors.
He placed his hands on the doorknobs, and turned them.
The door swung open, and inside was a dark room. The room was nice, actually. Well decorated. Curtains were closed, and nice chairs lay still. On the opposite side of the room was the silhouetted image of Mal.
Mike shivered, looking at the portrait across from them.
The four others knew this room well. It was the same room they relaxed in when Mal took over.
"What do we do now?" Mike muttered, looking around the room.
Courtney felt confident as she and Zoey crossed the wooden ladder across the lava moat. Scott and Gwen were holding it still behind them.
Mal thought that he had won, but Courtney was almost known for never giving up so easily. And she wasn't going to let Mal win.
A scream took her out of her thoughts, and she looked behind her to see Mal holding Gwen over his head.
Her heart dropped. He'd better not hurt her friend!
Mal threw Gwen down onto the ledge below, just beside the toxic waste.
The ladder caught fire, and Courtney and Zoey ran across the rest of the way as Scott tried to hold off Mal.
The dirt farmer failed, as Scott swung his fist, only for Mal to catch it. Spinning Scott around, the malevolent personality raised his foot and kicked Scott off the ledge, onto Gwen, who was just starting to stand up.
Mal looked over to Courtney and Zoey. "I'm coming for you two, next!"
Zoey, feeling intimidated, climbed the ladder with a shriek as Courtney just glared at Mal.
Spotting a pogo stick on the ground, he bent down and picked it up. "A pogo stick...seriously?" Mal asked unimpressed, shifting his eyes towards Chris, who was sitting in a lawn chair.
"Keep in mind, not all of these items were tested for safety! And by not all, I mean none! Each one is a deathtrap just waiting to-"
Chris' was cut off when his phone rang. He groaned, dropping his megaphone, and answered it. The voice on the other end seemed to be screaming at Chris.
"Should I re-word that?" Chris calmly asked.
Back at the first moat, Alejandro and Heather sat in a cut open log, and Alejandro pushed off the edge with a stick.
As they did this, Jo ran forward with another pole, readying her pole vault jump.
Just like Mal before her, she lowered her pole, hitting the concrete edge, and bending the stick just enough. The pole sprung up, and Jo was launched to the next moat.
"Courtney makes it to level three!" Chris announces as Zoey helps Courtney up onto the third moat. Courtney cheers at this turn of events.
"Mal better spring into action!" Chris continued as Mal jumped higher and higher on the pogo stick.
Mal chuckled slightly as the bounces became even higher than Courtney on the third moat. He shifted his body forward slightly, launching himself into the air. He pushed himself from the pogo stick and launched straight towards Courtney and Zoey.
The two girls heard Mal's yell, and they spun around, just in time to see Mal flying towards them.
The girls screamed as the malevolent personality tackled both of them into the water.
Sinking beneath the swamp water, moments later, Map emerged with Courtney in his grip, holding her by the collar.
He smiled wickedly at the frightened Courtney. He raised his free hand as Courtney saw a shark fin in the water behind him, closing the distance between itself and Mal.
Fang leapt out of the water, his mouth open and ready to devour Mal.
But all that stopped when Mal once again snapped his fingers, stopping Fang in his tracks, a blank look crossing his face.
Mal spun Courtney around and pushed her into Fang's arms, his hands tightening around her shoulders.
"I have to deal with someone." Mal smirked, turning his back to her, and walking towards the ledge.
Mal drove his hand under the water, dragging up a redhead.
Zoey squirmed as Mal tugged her by her hair. After a moment, he spun her around on the concrete ledge, grabbing her by her throat.
Zoey's eyes went wide, and they grew in size when Mal hung her over her over the ledge. If he dropped her, she would fall right into the lava below.
"Mike...please…" Zoey breathed out, begging that Mike would return.
If she was about to die, she would at least want to see the man she loved one last time.
Mal smiled evilly at the girl in front of him. "You still don't seem to understand, Zoey. This body is all me. Forever."
His grip began to loosen, but as it did, Mal gasped.
Mike's Mind
The four other personalities stayed back as Mike approached the portrait of Mal's silhouette.
Mike glared at it.
He came all this way, and there was nothing that could stop Mal.
He would be just a memory. Forever.
Mal won.
Anger welled up in Mike, his hand curling into a fist.
"Zoey!" He shouted, pulling his arm back, and swinging it forward, slamming his fist against the silhouette.
Almost just after Mike punched the portrait, it burst into flames.
Out of shock and fear, Mike took several paces back, the fire only growing worse.
Svetlana and Manitoba ran to Mike, grabbing him by the arms, and pulling him back. Just as they did, the portrait exploded, launching the five of them to the ground.
When Mike recovered from the blast, he looked up to see Mal, looking over the destroyed silhouette portrait.
"No!" He yelled, spinning to face the other personalities.
"How did you do this?" Mal asked, seething with rage as the five stood up to face Mal.
Mike smiled. "We beat you."
Mal glared at Mike. "No. Far from it."
Mal opened his palm, and swiped his hand down, forcing Mike, Chester, Svetlana, Vito, and Manitoba to their knees.
"You can never defeat me!" Mal laughed evilly
Mike looked up at the malevolent personality that stood in front of him.
But then, all of the pieces came together.
Mal's trigger was Mike's fear.
It's because Mike had been conserving all of that fear over the years that Mal became so powerful.
It's why he was able to take control so easily.
Mike's fear was the only thing that had been powering Mal throughout all these years.
It was because of all of the fear he had, Mal resurfaced.
To put it simply, that portrait was the self-destruct button to both Mal's tower, and all of the power he had.
Do you know what the funny thing is now? Mike isn't afraid anymore.
Mal threw his hand upwards. But nothing happened. "What?" He asked, shocked that all of his powers had evaporated.
Mal looked over his hands, and small cracks emitting a red light came from them appeared.
"No!" Mal yelled. He looked at Mike in shock. "Don't do this! No one will ever cross you with me in charge! I'm a part of you!"
For the first time in Mal's life, it was himself that felt fear.
Mal's body cracked further, the red light flashing from his face, his chest, and his legs.
"Yup. A part of me that I don't need anymore. Goodbye, Mal." Mike spoke, stepping closer towards Mal.
"No. No! It's my time! MIIIIIIIIIIINE!"
The red light increased as more cracks appeared. And finally, his body exploded into oblivion.
Just like that, the nightmare was over.
Just like that, Mal was gone...forever.
"It'z over?" Svetlana asked, looking around the room, still shaking.
Mike took a breath. "Yes. It's over."
The body of Mike changed. His face contorted into a familiar look. The rings around his eyes vanished, and his hair stood up straight like a spike.
"Zoey? Zoey!" Mike pulled Zoey back to safety from over the ledge she was hanging from.
Fang's pupils dilated, and he collapsed into the water, his hands loosening around Courtney, freeing her.
"Mike? Are you...is that you?" Zoey asked, looking up into Mike's eyes.
Mike hugs the redhead close. "I'm here, Zoey. I'm here."
She looked up into Mike's eyes, and she saw an instant look of genuine worry and affection.
She smiled warmly, and pulled his head to her own, their lips connecting in a kiss.
Gwen sighed in relief at the sight if the couple. "And Mike is back...thank God!"
Alejandro held Heather closely, holding her waist. "Love is a fine, fine thing." He smiled.
Fed up with the romance, Chris flew in on his jetpack. "That is it! This is the finale! It's about pain and betrayal, and pain! Not hugs and kissing! Pain!"
Alejandro spun around with Heather in his arms, pulling her into a kiss of their own.
Back up on the third moat, Mike and Zoey kiss again.
Scott crossed his arms. "Where's my kiss?" He pouted.
Chris frowned harder. "That's it! New rule! Anyone who gets the sword out of the stone wins the million dollars!"
Alejandro pulled out of his kiss with Heather. "Anyone?"
Dropping Heather to the ground, he began to run off, only for Heather to grab him by the foot, pulling him down. "Oh no you don't!"
It was then that Jo ran past the both of them. "Outta the way!"
Scott pushed Gwen away from him and started up the ladder he was next to. "Not cool!" Gwen shouted up at him.
Zoey pulled away from Mike. "Good luck!"
"Thanks!" Mike smiled, swimming away.
Courtney groaned at the sight of this. She quickly climbed onto the concrete ground, and began looking for a way up onto the next and final level.
Gwen climbed onto the third moat level, a bamboo stick in her hand. She stood up quickly, noticing Jo making her way around the watery moat.
Thinking quickly, Gwen swung the bamboo stick just as Jo became in reach, striking her chest, and knocking her to the ground.
Jo groaned.
Up above them, Courtney jumped from the ladder she hung on from onto the final level, doing her best to avoid the meatball shots that Chef fired at her.
On the opposite side, Mike gasped, turning to Svetlana, jumping upwards and doing a flip, successfully landing on her feet, gasping again, and turning back to Mike.
"Ooh, some both impressive moves from both Mike and Courtney! And some unimpressive moves from Chef." Chris narrated, flying in to criticize Chef on his jetpack.
Mike made a run for the sword, but he was abruptly stopped when Chef shot a meatball, hitting his head, and knocking him to the ground.
Chef smirked and redirected his bazooka to the spot Courtney hid at, only to see that she had vanished.
"Yes!" Courtney cheered from under the stone castle she stood under, holding the sword outstretched in her hand. "Finally!"
"Courtney has done it! Courtney has won the one million dollars!" Chris announced, walking into view.
"Way to go, Courtney!" Gwen smiled, walking in with Scott and Zoey.
"Uh, I-I, nice one, Court-Courtney." Scott stuttered.
Courtney dropped the sword to the ground, and held her arms open.
"One million dollars, Courtney." Chris said, handing her the briefcase.
Courtney cheered once more, but stopped when Chris' phone went off.
The host frowned, reaching into his pocket and pulling out his phone. He looked at the name of the caller. "Ugh, it's the network." He groaned. He put the phone to his ear. "Yes? Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Okay! Done!"
He hung up and looked towards the camera with a large smile. "They are so happy that they want to hop straight into a new season!"
It was then that the island began to shake, steam emerging from the stone where the sword used to be.
"Um, what's going on?" Chris asked, completely confused.
Before anyone could answer, a shadow covered them. All of them looked up to see the zeppelin that had appeared prior in the season, floating above them. A door opened, and they saw no one other than Geoff.
"Hop on, dudes!"
"How did they get the keys to that?" Chris asked, looking to Chef, who whistles innocently.
A ladder unravels as it falls to the ground. And just as it did, an explosion of water shot out of the stone.
Courtney grabbed onto the ladder first, and began climbing, holding the million dollar case tightly in her hand.
Mike climbed up after her, followed by Zoey, Gwen, Scott, Heather, Alejandro, and Jo.
Once Jo started her way up, Chef grabbed onto the ladder. Chris ignored the water explosions occurring around him as his partner climbed. Finally, he climbed on, and the zeppelin began its way into the air as the island sank underwater.
Chris looked towards the camera. "Well, how was that for an All-Star season? But, don't worry; I'm not done with these suckers yet. Until next time, I'm Chris McLean! And this has been Total! Drama! All-Stars!"
AN: And so, this story comes to a close! I have decided against the special that I originally planned. But, which ten contestants will return, and which four canon Pahkitew Island contestants enter the season for the first time? I'll give a small hint, one of the contestants are going to be changed a lot! Their stereotype is: 'The Unconventional Hipster'. So, yeah, if you even bother reading this, or want to read the next in the Rebooted series, what is your guess?
