Episode Eleven: 2014 Winter Olympic Games!
Episode Eleven! Yay! PS: Melaney doesn't approve of me attempting to ship her with Sonic. I have been told to pass that message to you guys. Meep.
TDU Train, Conductor's Room
"Last time on Total Drama Universe," Chris began. "On the train, there was a murderer on the loose! After I was knocked unconscious, members of both Teams tried to figure out who it was, and many turned and blamed it on Angel. She and Tails ended up being the last two standing, when a shadowy figure came in. It was Phineas, but they didn't know that. The doll took over again, and Tails actually protected the figure from Angel, then managed to speak to her for the first time while possessed. Angel eventually got her to snap out of it by, as cheesy and strange as it is, kissing him. Phineas left the room unnoticed. Then, after everyone that nobody cared about was all right, SOMEONE ATE ALL OF MY CHOCOLATE! Charmy went flying out the window in no time flat. Find out what happens next on Total…Drama…Universe!"
(Theme Song. I LIVE FOR THE REVIEWS, REVIEWS, REVIEWS)
Team X, First Class
Team X was gathered in First Class, enjoying its luxuries for the second time in a row. Everyone except for Cilan of course, who just happened to be a neat freak.
"Why—Won't—This—Fake—Blood—Come—Off—The—Floor?!" he exclaimed as he vigorously began scrubbing at a tiny spot of crimson on the rug. He looked up at the others. "Doesn't this bug you guys at all?!"
"It's just a speck dude," Stephan said. "Get over it."
Cilan began to scrub at it even more feverishly. "We can't have blood everywhere?! It's gross!"
"Then I'd suggest putting some Coca-Cola on it. It helps get blood off pavement," Shadow explained. "Don't ask how I know that."
Amy turned and looked at Red, their new contestant that they had gotten in the last episode. "Hey Red, don't you have a bottle of Coke in your room?"
"No!" he said quickly. "Even if I did, you guys can't use it."
Georgia grabbed the display sword on the wall. "You know Cilan, I can really give you an amount of blood to worry about." She raised the sword over her head—
"What're you doing?!" Bianca exclaimed.
"I'm kidding, genius," she replied before putting the sword back on the wall. "It's not a bad idea though…"
Phineas was sitting at one of the booths, reading a book entitled How to Get Revenge on Someone. Ferb raised an eyebrow, which somehow translated to 'What's that?'
"I'm trying to figure out how to get back at our target," Phineas said, pointy nose still stuck in the book. He growled. "None of these are harsh enough!" He looked up at Ferb. "Do you have any ideas?"
Ferb was actually buzzing with ideas, but they weren't about Tails. They were ideas on how he was going to get his step-brother back. He shook his head, then walked away.
Loser Class, Team Y
"Gotta go faster-faster-faster-faster…"
Cubot, one of Eggman's henchmen, had been singing the somewhat annoying theme song of Sonic X, and Team Y was forced to listen. Even worse, his voice chip was stuck on cowboy.
"I thought Tails already fixed that stupid thing!" Sonic exclaimed, covering his ears. "You can't tell me it's broke already!"
"Nobody can fix that thing!" Melaney said. "I've seen it, and he was right! It does look like it was built by a two-year-old! I mean seriously, it's a chip with two wires on it!"
"Enough criticizing me!" Eggman exclaimed.
"Then shut him up!" Gwen yelled.
Orbot then came over. "Would you like me to fix his voice chip, boss?"
"No, I want you to bite me!" Eggman said sarcastically.
"I'm getting pretty close to doing that," Raven mumbled under her breath. Orbot went over and shut Cubot off, then adjusted the voice chip before turning him back on.
"Has the chip of sound worked?" Starfire asked hopefully.
Cubot's eyes lit up. "Argh, thanks for fixin' me voice chip, matey. I feel as ship-shape as ever!"
"I guess that's a no," Zoey said with a sigh.
"Yo Egghead, why don't you just go buy another voice chip and save us all the trouble?" Sonic asked.
"Do you see any other mechanics here, you moronic hedgehog?" Eggman snapped. Everyone turned and looked at Tails, who had fallen asleep in the corner next to Angel.
"You know, I think she would build a better voice chip than you, Gramps," Duncan said, pointing to the two in the corner. "Any of us could!"
"Duncan is right," Blaze said calmly. "I'm not usually one to insult others, but even Joey could do it."
"Seriously?!" Joey exclaimed. "Even Blaze is insulting me!"
The others were about to respond, but Chris came barging in to the room. "It's challenge time!"
Somewhere in Sochi, Russia
"Welcome to Sochi!" Chris announced to the competitors. Chris was bundled up in a warm fur jacket since they were standing in a freezing ice-hockey arena. The others didn't have any jackets or anything, just whatever they were usually wearing. So of course, everyone but Red and Angel were cold and shivering. "What're you all shivering for?" Chris asked.
"IT'S FREEZING, THAT'S WHAT!" Knuckles exclaimed.
Chris shrugged. "I ordered jackets, but they never came."
"Y-YOU'VE BEEN S-SAYING THAT FOR T-THREE SEASONS!" Gwen said shakily. "It shouldn't take three years for just stupid jackets to arrive!"
"Whatever," Chris said. "Anyway, today's challenge is something that many of you are really familiar with. Welcome to the preparation of the 2014 Olympic Winter Games!"
"W-What's the big d-deal?" Tails asked, trembling as he put Angel's sweatshirt on. "We have to b-be here in a f-few weeks, anyway…"
"Anyway," Chris continued, somewhat annoyed. "Today each team will be participating in five Olympic events. The winner of each event will earn one point, and the one with the most points at the end of the day wins. Now here's how it works. Each team will choose ten contestants, two in each category: Heroes, Girls, Tricksters, Challengers, and Wild Ones. The events will be chosen randomly by…that thing!" he pointed to a large red slot machine in the seats of the stadium. "Any questions? You have five minutes! GO!"
Team X
"Okay," Cilan said to his teammates. "I think those of us who have actually been in the Olympics should be on the team."
"So that's me, Shadow, Rouge, Silver, and Knuckles," Amy said. "That's five. If we follow what we did in London, we still need a Wild One, both Tricksters, and both Heroes. Vector and Metal Sonic aren't here, and Sonic and Tails are on the other team so…"
"Thank you for narrating the issue," Trip said, rolling his eyes. "Mike and Stuart—"
"Stephan—"
"Whatever—should be Heroes. Red can be a Wild One—"
"Yay!"
"—and Phineas and Ferb can be the Tricksters. Does that work?" Trip finished.
The others nodded. "Then let's go win this!" Trip exclaimed.
Team Y
"I think I've got this," Tails said. "Sonic and I are Heroes, Blaze and Zoey are the girls, Eggface and Morgan are Tricksters—"
"I don't like her," Eggman said.
"You Muggles," Morgan mumbled.
"—Ash and Brock are Challengers, and Duncan and Raven are Wild Ones."
"In what universe is Raven 'wild'?" Sonic asked as he made quotation marks in the air.
"We've only got so many options, Sonic," Tails said. "What do you think we should do?"
Sonic took the piece of paper Tails had been writing on, then scribbled something down and handed it to him. Tails face palmed. "It's so obvious, buddy," Sonic said. "I can't believe she wasn't the first one you wrote down."
"I know," Tails said. "I guess Angel's our other Wild One then!"
Olympic Stadium, Slot Machine
Teams X and Y were gathered around the slot machine, waiting for the challenge to begin. Chef then came in to the room, wearing a pink glittery dress and four-inch high heels. The contestants began laughing at him. "I don't get paid enough for this job…" he mumbled.
Bathroom Confessional
(Chef)
"I mean c'mon! A pink dress! What's next, Chris is gonna have me all dressed up in a diaper and bonnet! I was in the service! I deserve more than this!"
Olympic Stadium, Slot Machine
Chef rolled his eyes and pulled the huge lever next to the machine. The slots began spinning until it landed on the event Deluxe Half-Pipe. Two slots to the right began spinning as well, showing that Shadow would be representing Team X and Tails would be representing Team Y. "All right," Chris said. "I'll explain the rules when we get there. For now get down to the half of the maple tree we 'borrowed' from Vancouver!"
A few minutes later both Teams had arrived at the Half Maple Tree. Like the name implied, the tree was a fallen maple shaped like a half-pipe, and was five hundred feet long and twisted and turned. Along it were boost panels, coins, and Goombas scattered about. Tails and Shadow were behind the metal gates, which eventually would open up and allow them to snowboard throughout the tree. "The rules are simple," Chris said. "You each have one minute to perform multiple tricks by using this as a half-pipe. If you collect five of the coins on the ground, you can perform your special move, which can get you a heap of points. Shadow's gonna go first. Ready?"
Shadow glared at Tails. "Might as well give up now," he said mockingly. "Believing in yourself won't do you any good."
"Quiet!" Tails growled. "I hope you fall flat on your face when you get out there!"
Shadow smirked. "Not likely." Chris then blew his whistle, and he was off. Immediately he grabbed five coins and snowboarded up the side of it. "Chaos Control!" he shouted, then spun multiple times in the air before landing.
"And Shadow pulls off his Special Move right off the bat!" Chris announced from the sidelines. Shadow then proceeded to go up the other side of the half-pipe, doing two Double Spins.
"So far Shadow has 7520 points!" Chris shouted. "And he's only got another ten seconds before he has to cross the finish line!"
Shadow smirked confidently, then went up the side of the tree one last time. He was in the air for a moment, then, "Chaos Control!" he spun a few more times in mid-air, then slid down and crossed the finish line.
"Shadow finishes with a grand total of 12520 points!" Chris yelled. "That's a pretty tall order for you to beat," he said to Tails.
Tails rolled his eyes. "Just blow your stupid whistle."
Chris shrugged, then blew the whistle. Tails rushed out of the gate with a burst of speed, immediately grabbing five coins like Shadow did. He went up the side of the half-pipe, floated in mid-air for a moment, then began rapidly spinning his tails while doing somersaults in the air. He was shimmering while he did spirals, the sun reflecting off the snow. He snowboarded back down the side of the tree.
"And Tails has performed his Special Move first thing!" Chris announced. Tails then went to the other side of the pipe, performing a Double Spin, a Double Spin Stiffie, a Right Spin, and then another Double Spin. He had five coins at hand, and 20 seconds left. He just needed to time it perfectly… He went up the side of the tree, ready to perform one final move, but his heart stopped when he something lying in the snow.
It was the Tails Doll, its red gem glowing brighter than ever.
Tails felt another white hot searing pain in his chest, then lost his balance on his snowboard. A dizzy feeling came over him as he fell out of the air and in to the snow below.
"Tails!" Sonic yelled. Within a split second he was at the other end of the half-pipe, Angel close behind him. The fox was lying on the ground, twitching, his eyes closed tight. He started mumbling gibberish as the other two stood over him, unsure what to do.
"What the heck happened to him?" Angel asked, turning to Sonic. He wasn't listening however and bent down, shaking Tails' shoulders.
"Tails? Snap out of it bud!" he exclaimed. He slowly opened his eyes and looked up at Sonic.
"Sonic…" he said weakly. "It was there…in the snow…I saw it…"
"What do you mean?" Sonic asked. "What was in the snow?!"
"It's after us, Sonic…" Tails mumbled deliriously. "You, and me…and Angel and Melaney too…we have to stop it, Sonic…it's inside me…"
"Wait, what's 'it'?" he questioned. He got no answer however. Tails stared in to the sky, still mumbling to himself, completely unaware of anything anymore. The other contestants had arrived as well.
"Is he okay?" Bianca asked.
"It's always the smart ones that lose it first," Georgia said with a sigh. She looked at Chris, who was flattening down his hair while looking in to a handheld mirror. "Hey pretty boy, aren't you gonna do something about this?"
"He'll be fine," Chris said, annoyed that he had to put down his mirror. "Just put him down on the bench of over there. But that means Shadow wins the match!" The X's cheered, but the Y's weren't paying attention.
"He said there was something in the snow…" Sonic said, holding Tails in his arms. He looked at Angel. "Is there anything out there?"
Angel put her hand down on the snow and closed her eyes, trying to feel for any disturbance in the white layers of cold. She opened her hands after a few seconds and stood up. "Nothing but ourselves…you guys don't think that Georgia could be right, do you?"
"That Tails has lost it?" Melaney asked. "It could happen, you know. Wait, you don't actually did, right?"
"I don't even know anymore," Angel said. "C'mon. We have to get to the next challenge."

(Angel)
"Is it really possible? Could Tails have really gone after the deep end? No, it can't be. I won't let it happen! He went through the Games without losing it, so why should he now? But then he's tried to kill me so many times…I-I still have faith in him! If he can look past everything I've done and who I am, then I can't lose faith just because of this. He means way too much to me!"
Olympic Stadium, Slot Machine
The contestants returned to the Slot Machine, Chef still in his pink dress. He pulled the lever next to it, which landed on Snowboard Cross. And the two competitors would be Amy and Angel.
Snowboard Area
Angel and Amy were behind their metal gates in front of the large amount of turns, jumps, and piles of snow that awaited them. Amy was wearing her winter attire, while Angel simply wore her Nike t-shirt since Tails was still wearing her sweatshirt. Her hat was on backwards as well, which of course means business. Instead of using a regular snowboard however, Angel was using her snowflake. The rest of the contestants were standing in the stadium.
Espio looked at Chris. "Are you sure that you didn't just drag us to Vancouver?"
"No," Chris said sternly. "We're in Russia!" he turned and looked back at the two snowboarders, then took out his megaphone. "Okay, here's the challenge. The both of you are going to race on the track. First one to the finish wins. Ready?" The two contestants simply growled at each other. "GO!"
Angel and Amy took off in to the snow as quickly as possible, snowflakes going everywhere. The two drifter around corners, going left and right every few seconds.
"Eat snow, Rose!" Angel yelled. She sped ahead and got in Amy's way, then sprayed a flurry of white crystals on to Amy. She growled when she saw that Amy had just barely moved out of the way to avoid the whitewash.
"Not on your life!" Amy yelled back. They were both too distracted to see the jump ahead of them, and both missed the opportunity to gain a speed-boost.
"Nice job!" they said sarcastically at the same exact time. Angel gasped when she saw the next jump coming ahead, drifted around the corner, and did a perfect jump, doing three somersaults in the air. Amy wasn't as quick however and failed again as her rival sped ahead for the second time, using her speed boost.
"You're not getting away that easily!" Amy shouted. She quickly caught up with Angel, the two going at the same speed, drifting at the same time. The next jump came, and they both did it, then drifted around another corner.
"And here comes the triple jump!" Chris yelled. And he was right; there were three jumps in a row up ahead, which could decide the winner of the race.
"I've got this!" Angel exclaimed. She jumped again, and again, and one final time, landing three perfect jumps in a row. Amy did the same, right behind her.
"The two girls are neck-and-neck!" Chris announced from the stadium. "Who will be victorious?"
Angel rolled her eyes. "This is stupid. Hasta la vista, Amy!" she then sped ahead through the snow at a hundred miles an hour, quickly crossing the finish line and leaving the others staring in awe.
"And I guess Angel wins," Chris said. Team Y cheered and rushed down in to the snow, gathering around Angel.
"Since when can you do THAT?" Sonic asked, noticing her speed.
Angel smiled. "You know I can go faster than that, Sonic. Remember Icirrus City?"
"Yeah," Sonic said with a shrug. "When it comes to Tails, you'll break the sound barrier for him."
She nodded back. "Where is he, anyway?"
"He fell asleep," Morgan said, wand in hand. Everyone slowly backed away from her. "Oh come on, I'm not going to attack anybody! On purpose, anyway."
"I do not understand why you are full of such worry for the Tails," Starfire said. "What has happened to the two of you?"
"Wow, you're really up to date on things, aren't you?" Gwen asked her sarcastically. "He's been attacking her and trying to commit murder! And he's getting closer to succeeding every time!"
"Hold on a second," Espio said. "We all know Tails wouldn't want to hurt Angel. So he must be acting under other forces, right?"
"Espio is right," Blaze said. "It could be a number of things…hypnosis, mind-control…" everyone turned and looked at Eggman.
"What are all of you brats staring at?" he asked in a rude tone. "I'd do nothing of the sort!"
"Really, Eggman?" Sonic asked, crossing his arms. "You've never, EVER, in your entire life, tried to use mind-control on Tails?"
Eggman rubbed the back of his head. "Maybe on a few occasions, but what difference does it make? I'm a compassionate man—"
"Yeah right," Sonic mumbled under his breath.
Eggman rolled his eyes and continued on. "I'm a compassionate man, and there's nothing I could possibly accomplish from killing her, especially by using Tails to do it."
"You wouldn't need a reason," Angel growled, referencing what he had said about her the day before. "You're a total psychopath."
The evil scientist gave her an icy glare, which was only met by her own. "It's pests like you that make me believe that being annoying is in the genetic code of all blue hedgehogs."
"Mock me all you want Egghead, but at least I'm not shaped like something that came out of a chicken's a-"
"Okay, that's enough!" Zoey exclaimed. "We don't know that Eggman's guilty…yet. There could be a ton of other things that would make Tails try to kill her. Like—"
"Accio The Dark Forces: A Guide To Self-Defenses!" Morgan shouted. She pointed her wand in the direction of the train. It seemed like nothing was going to happen, but a few seconds later a large book came flying at them, hitting Joey in the side of the head before it fell to the ground.
"What was that?" Ash asked as she picked up the book.
"Just a Summoning Charm I taught myself," Morgan said proudly. "Now let's see…the Imperius Curse (AN: shut up spell check, that's how it's spelled in the book) ...here it is!" she pointed down to a curse listed in the book and began reading. "'The Imperius Curse is one of the Three Unforgivable Curses in the wizard world. Placing this curse on a victim will give the user complete control. The Curse is almost impossible to escape from.'" She shut the book. "See, I told you guys…" she trailed off when she saw everyone glaring at her. "Aw, crap."

"Ugh, I'm so stupid sometimes! Now they all think it's me! I should've just let Eggman take the blame…maybe it's not too late to pawn it off on Joey…"
Snowboard Area
"It wasn't me, I swear!" she said, backing away from the others. "It takes a very powerful wizard to do the curse! And, if you haven't noticed, THAT'S NOT ME!"
"Who gave you all the books?" Raven questioned immediately. "Someone has to be giving you some sort of instruction. Who is it? TELL ME BEFORE YOU GET SENT TO AZKABAN!"
"It was Joey!" Morgan said quickly.

(Morgan)
"It wasn't a complete lie, he did give me the books…but he's a horrible teacher! And I can't understand a word that Delphox says, so I taught myself!"
Snowboard Area
Angel grabbed Joey in the blink of an eye and pinned him up against one of the walls of the stadium. "So it was you the whole time, wasn't it?!" Joey couldn't answer due to the lack of oxygen flowing to his non-existent brain. "Do you know what the ability Rivalry is, Joey? Of course you do. It's an ability that states that two Pokemon of the same gender will do more damage to each other than Pokemon of the opposite gender. You're so lucky that I'm a girl…"
Joey was stupid enough to choke out, "Are you sure about that?"
Anger coursing through her veins, Angel punched him in the face. Hard. "Drop dead you self-centered bast-"

(Phineas)
"This is perfect! Team Y is falling apart at the seams all because of the doll… this is going so much better than I expected!"
Snowboard Area
"Okay, it's time for the next challenge!" Chris announced as Sonic and Melaney struggled to drag Angel away from Joey. The group then headed back to the slot machine, where the next even was decided: Sonic vs. Knuckles in Extreme Snowboarding.
Twinkle Village
The contestants were now in Twinkle Village, a small area in the forest that was made in to a snowboarding track. There were multiple jumps, item boxes, and enemies in the way, even a Chain Chomp right in the middle.
"I'm starting to think that you've brought us back to Vancouver," Blaze said to Chris as Sonic and Knuckles prepared to begin the race.
"We are not in Vancouver!" Chris exclaimed. "Seriously!" He then sighed and took out his megaphone. "Okay, this is a two-lap race around the course. First one to cross the finish line is the winner, blah, blah, blah, GO!"
Knuckles and Sonic took off at high-speeds down the course, doing jumps and breaking item boxes along the way. "This is fun, huh, Knuckles?" Sonic asked as he did a 360 in the air.
"Don't try to distract me, Sonic!" Knuckles yelled as he did a jump. "It's not going to work!"
"Whatever you say Knuckles," Sonic said, giving him a thumbs-up. He took in a fake gasp. "Look! Rouge is trying to steal the Master Emerald again!" he shouted, pointing up ahead at absolutely nothing.
"Where?!" Knuckles asked, looking around frantically. He then smashed in to a tree, not realizing that the Master Emerald was never really there.
"See ya later, Knucklehead!" Sonic shouted as he sped down the course. He then broke in to a Spin Dash and went around the track twice at the speed of sound, finishing before Knuckles could even recover from the crash.
"And Sonic wins the challenge!" Chris announced. The Y's cheered again as the teams headed back to the slot machine where the next event was decided: Ultimate Figure Skating, Cilan vs. Duncan.
Lake Arena
"I'm telling you, we've got to be in Van—" Ash started to say to Brock, but he was cut off by Chris.
"WE'RE NOT IN VANCOUVER!" he shouted. "It just so happens that this place LOOKS a lot like Vancouver, okay?!"
"So you're telling me that you uprooted an entire forest and dragged it half-way across the world?" Amy asked the host, crossing her arms.
"Yes!" Chris exclaimed. The others rolled their eyes and began preparing for the next event.
"This is insane!" Duncan said to Melaney as he tried to strap on a pair of ice-skates. "I'm the toughest guy here, I shouldn't have to be prancing around on skates like a freakin girl!"
"And you're telling me this, why?" Melaney asked.
"Because it's stupid, that's why," Duncan snapped.
"You do realize that this isn't exactly normal figure skating, right?" Zoey asked. "I mean, it's called Ultimate Figure Skating for a reason."
"Well then go let the 'ultimate weapon' go handle it!" Duncan exclaimed. "She doesn't even need these dumb things to stand!" he held up his pair of skates, then realized that they had been spray painted pink. "What the?"
Starfire giggled, a spray can in her hands, then flew away.
Duncan growled. "This is gay, man, absolutely gay."
Meanwhile, Cilan was practicing out on the ice, having the time of his life. "This is absolutely amazing!" he exclaimed as he did a pirouette. "No wonder why people do this for fun!"
"Yeah, just don't fall flat on your face out there," Red called out. "We need to win this challenge or it's all over for us!"
A few minutes later, Duncan was the only one out on the ice, still mad that he was chosen for the challenge. Chris yawned. "Yeah, so I'm too lazy to explain the rules, so you're just going to have to hope your teammates give you advice. GO!"
Before he could react, the Sonic Medley began playing from a loudspeaker as a trail of rings appeared in front of Duncan. "What the-"
"Follow it, genius!" Sonic exclaimed from the sidelines. The delinquent shrugged and followed the trail, each ring disappearing to who-knows-where as he touched it. A few seconds later he reached a star spring, and jumped on it, twirling in the air as he jumped twice and landed back on the ice perfectly. He followed the next ring trail, which led him to a circle with an image of a Chaos Emerald on it. "What am I supposed to do now—"
"Spin!" Angel shouted from a bench at the sidelines. Duncan began doing a camel spin as multiple orange robots, Kikis, dropped from the sky. He began knocking them out while spinning, then continued to the next ring trail. The process kept going until everything on the rink disappeared, and the Egg Flapper dropped in from the sky and floated in front of him.
"What now?!" he shouted to his teammates sitting in the stadium.
"Dance!" Blaze yelled.
"Are you serious?!" Duncan exclaimed.
"Just do it!" the others screamed.
Duncan rolled his eyes and began dancing to the beat of the music, each note doing a little damage to the Egg Flapper at a time.
Tails groaned as he woke up, pain shooting through his body. He realized he was in Lake Arena, sitting on a bench in the seats for the audience, Angel sitting next to him. He sat up and looked at her. "Did I pass out again?" he asked.
"Yup," she answered without taking her eyes off Duncan and the Egg Flapper.
"You think I've lost it, don't you?" he questioned, still looking at her.
"Nope."
He looked at Duncan, twirling and doing pirouettes every few seconds. "You're trying not to laugh at him. I can see it in your face."
"Three for three," she said, a small smile on her face. "You can't blame me though. I mean, look at him! Duncan on ice! I kinda wish I got chosen for the challenge. It looks fun."
"It is," Tails said. "We even got Knuckles to admit it, and he said that we'd never catch him dancing like a girl." He began talking about what they had done in Vancouver, trying not to think about seeing the Tails Doll in the snow. As if on cue, he heard its demonic voice in his head.
"Take her downstairs, under the ice. Kill her there, no one will see, no one will know. Do it or I will—"
"No!" Tails shouted out loud, making Angel jump. She gave him an odd look as he tried to cover up his outburst. "Um…"
"Do it or I'll take over and do it for you!"
He sighed. It was inevitable. "Come downstairs with me," he said, his voice cracking from sadness. "I have something to show you." He took her hand and led her to the steps that ended in the room under the ice, which had no lights except for whatever rays managed to pass through the frozen liquid above them.
"All right. I'll give you this one break. We're going to kill the delinquent instead. We'll get her later."
Tails was about to respond, but stopped when the familiar searing pain went down his chest, knocking him out.
Angel caught Tails at the last second before he could crash to the ground, hoping that this wouldn't lead to what she thought it would. He had already made four attempts to try to kill her, and wasn't looking forward to a fifth.
But that's what she got. He stood up and looked at her with black, soulless eyes, nearly paralyzing her with fear. She backed away slowly as he began moving towards her. "Please don't do it, Tails," she begged. "I'll do anything for you…I'll leave, I'll never show my face in your presence again, just please, anything but this…"
To her surprise, he swiftly turned around on his heel and looked up at the ice above them, Duncan's skates visible through the frozen water. He grabbed a thin metal pole on the ground and began stabbing the ice, sending cracks through it with every hit. Angel grabbed his arm. "Whoa, what're you doing? You're gonna kill him!"
He turned and glared at her, then went back to striking the ice.
"Tails, please don't do this," she begged. "This isn't like you! Look, Espio has this theory that you're operating under other forces, and I believe him. There's no way you want to kill someone!" she grabbed the metal pole from his hand and threw it aside. "Promise me you aren't going to do this again!"
He stared at her for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay," she said, not taking her eyes off of him. "You better keep your promise." She ran back up the stairs, leaving him behind.
Tails let in a sharp gasp, falling to all fours as he coughed and came back to his senses. He looked up and saw the doll in his reflection of the ice. "What'd you do?!" he exclaimed.
"Oh, nothing," the doll replied nonchalantly. "Just that you promise that you're never going to attempt to kill anyone again."
He growled violently. "You know you're just going to do it again and make me look like a liar!"
"Ooh, you got four right in a row," the doll said evilly. "She's not kidding when she says your smart, is she?"
"Why are you doing this to me?!" Tails screamed. "I haven't done anything to deserve this…now I'm going to lose her forever…"
The doll smiled. "I wish you luck finding someone else," it said sarcastically. It disappeared from the ice as Tails lied on the floor, feeling absolutely hopeless.
Driver's Highway
Mike and Silver were racing Zoey and Blaze in Blazing Bobsleigh, a bobsleigh-like event that consisted of many obstacles such as snowmen that stood in the way. Cilan had won the skating event, meaning that the winner of this would win the entire challenge.
"C'mon Zoey! You can do it!" Gwen screamed from the sidelines. "You too Blaze! We need to win this!" Tails approached her and stood at her side, watching as the two bobsleighs raced down the track. Gwen noticed his negative mood right away. "What's wrong?" she asked.
"I feel like I'm going to lose Angel," he said sadly, his tails drooping on the ground.
"Why's that?" she asked, still watching the race.
"I can't tell you," he said.
Gwen sighed, then kneeled down so they were face to face. "Listen kid. Angel's got a few screws loose, and it might be because of you," Tails blushed as she continued, "but she's got a lot of faith in you. As long as you don't do anything too stupid, I don't think she's ever going to leave." She looked up as she heard Chris announce that Team X had won the challenge. "Dang," she mumbled. "I was looking forward to First Class." She sighed again. "Oh well. Anyway. I know this sounds weird coming from a Goth person, but stay positive." She stood up and walked away.

"I'm voting off Espio, because he started the whole discussion of why Tails would try to kill someone, and that's why they all think it's me!"
Elimination Room
Team Y was in the Elimination Room, each contestant holding a cupcake except for Duncan and Espio. "Y's," Chris said. "This, is the final cupcake. Whoever doesn't get a cupcake, has to take the Jump of Shame, and never come back. Ever."
Sonic yawned and rolled his eyes.
"And the last cupcake goes to…Duncan."
"YES!" Duncan exclaimed.
"What?" Espio asked in shock.
"I know, right?" Chris said, throwing the plate aside. "Even I'm shocked, and I knew the answer. But anyway…" Chef picked up Espio and threw him out the train as he screamed and Chris turned to the camera. "Who will win? Who will lose? Why am I asking you all of these questions? Find out next time, on Total…Drama…Universe!"
Episode Eleven's done! Yay! I'm going to skip the whole speech about why it took me so long to upload, because it's exactly the same reasons why as last time. Anyway, please review! And yes, this chapter is littered with Harry Potato references, and yes, I just called him a potato. I'm reading the Goblet of Fire right now, and it's AMAZING. And long, but mostly amazing. And Joey is a jerk, because he keeps telling me all the people that die in Deathly Hallows! Not cool man, NOT COOL! But anyway, Q of the Week, and it's an opinion question: Which do you think is the worst pun: "Miles Prower" (that would be Tails), "Professor " (the short science dude in the Luigi's Mansion series), or "Tracey Sketchit" (the dude that tried to replace Brock and epically failed)? AND WHY?! YOU HAVE TO TELL ME WHY! And please review! Thank you :)
