Chapter 12: The Big Finale.

"LAST TIME ON TOTAL DRAMA: The remaining three campers had to race their way to death...through cuteness! Yep, even though I hadn't expected it, amusement managed to find me one way or another. In the end, however, James had won the challenge and had wiggled his way into the final 2 of Total Drama. After Amanda got voted off, a mystery person came out from the shadows. That's right, her sister, Emma. After they reconciled and after Ashura got some well-deserved karma, the Ackermans went away, leaving Ashura and James to face off in the finale."

-on dock-

"The remaining two campers, James and Ashura, are ready as ever to face one another in the exciting Total Drama finale. As every second becomes more anticipated than the last, and every breath becomes deeper and faster as it comes to an end. Who will lose, and who will win and take home ONE MILLION DOLLARS?! You wanna find out, don't ya, you curious viewers? Well, then, you'll have to look to find out, as you'll only find out first right here on Total...Drama..Island!"

-theme plays-

-with James-

James was running around the island frantically. "Why am I going against the king of scumbags?! Why couldn't it have been Amanda? The competition would've been nicer! And easier! ...and nicer!" He stopped running, out off breath, and sat down on a tree stump, completely out of energy as of the moment.

"No more running...gotta save my energy for the final challenge." He mumbled to himself. He scrimmaged to find something under his sleeve. When he grabbed it, he took the treasure out of his shirt, only to reveal his 'STAY CALM' bracelet.

James let out a scoff and sported a smirk, before dropping the seemingly worthless bracelet into the dirt and mud, before stomping it in the messy ground. "I don't need no bracelet...all I need is belief...and possibly some food." He said, interrupting his cool sounding, stoic speech with a growl that came from his stomach. "Yeah, I know! Quit growling at me!" He yelled at his stomach.

-000(Confessional: James)

"Yes, I yell at my tummy. Don't judge me."

-000(Confessional: James)

-with Ashura-

Ashura was leaning against a tree in a forest, throwing an acorn up and down. "This entire day is foolish. Pitting me against some sort of freak with anger issues is a no-brainer on who's going to win. Isn't it obvious to you guys as well?"

The camera guy shook the camera "no",

"...Fuck you." Ashura said bitterly.

Just then, a frying pan came from the sky and nailed Ashura in the head.

"WHAT THE-?! What was that?!" Ashura yelled at the sky.

"Man, Chef really was serious when he said you'd get a pan blow to the head every time you swore." the cameraman said to the enraged teenager.

All Ashura would do was mutter something inaudible before an angry squirrel came down to Ashura and started squeaking in what sounded like cussing in Squirrelinese.

"You think I care that I'm throwing your acorns?" Ashura said to the furious rodent as hie continued to throw the food up and down mockingly into his palm.

The squirrel whistled, and an entire army of squirrels and chipmunks came out and look at him madly.

"Oh...Is now the part where I run?"

The squirrel nodded as did the rest of the clan of rodents.

-We now see an outside view of the island of where Ashura is being chased by the angry herd of animals as they were chasing after him with open claws, sharp teeth...and acorns.-

-000(Confessional: Ashura)

"I...h-hate...squirrels..." Ashura said as he sported multiple cuts and bruises.

-I000(Confessional: Ashura)

Just then, the voice was on, and so was the final day of Total Drama. (NOOOOOOOOOOOO!)

"JAMES AND ASHURA! REPORT TO THE STARTING LINE AT MESS HALL, AND AWAIT INSTRUCTIONS ON TODAY;S CHALLENGE ONCE THERE! NOW MOVE IT!"

"Sheesh, no need to yell..." James mumbled as got up from the tree stump and ran towards the destination.

"I'll try..." Ashura mumbled as he limped, but healing...faster than normal...hmm…Weird, right?

-at the Mess Hall-

James and Ashura had run their way to the Mess Hall, both sitting down at tables, awaiting instructions as they were told.

And, as expected on a Reality TV show, Ashura decided to trash talk James, in hopes of bringing him down in the game.

"You don't stand a chance. You should just already pack your bags, cause you know who's taking home the money."Ashura said, boasting a smirk.

All James did was stay silent..then he laughed hysterically. "You?! OH, thats a laugh! You got your ass beat by a bunch of squirrels, and NOW you're telling yourself that you'll win?! That is PRICELESS!" James said as he continued to laugh his pants off.

Ashura wanted to lunge on him and beat his ass, but his bruises, cuts, and aching genitals prevented him from doing so.

At that moment, Chris and Chef walked in, ready to explain the challenge.

"Campers! Welcome to the finale of Total Drama Island! And boy, do we got an end for you. If you would be so kind, try to eat quickly. When you finish your breakfast, report t the starting line. You'll know where it is due to a red light appearing over the island at the location of the starting line. Ciao."

And with that, the two hosts were walking off, which had left James and Ashura with their pitiful glop, which for some reason is called 'breakfast', and not 'chemically hazardous'.

-5-7 minutes later-

James and Ashura had made it to the place which was giving off the red beam above the island. When they got there, however, they noticed a dead bird which had been blinded by the light and crashed into a tree.

"Poor thing." James muttered.

"Yeah...That'll stir up some hate mail..." Chris complained.

"Big deal." Ashura said, peeved. "Now, whats the challenge?!"

"Aw...Widdle Baby Ashuwas getting' impatient. Want your bottle?" Chris said laughing. James even chuckled as well.

Ashura muttered a few swear words towards Chris, and then...got hit in the head with a frying pan.

"Boy, you think I'm kidding?!" Chef asked angrily.

"Anyways..." Chris began. "We will be choosing five challenges from the past in order to make a finale. And they are the toughest, most brutal, or just the most fun. They are...Run for Fun at first, to prove stamina, the singing competition, just because we felt like it, and the Smash Brothers challenge to finish it all off!"

James took a deep breath. "Lets get this show on the road!" he yelled confidently.

And, to James' delight and Ashuras dismay, the rest of the veterans of Total Drama were there! (From just this season, obviously.)

"Damn...it's really great to see you all!" James yelled with joy.

"Yeah, what fun to see people who are already losers." Ashura mumbled.

James scoffed. "Well, judging by your words, shouldn't you be up there with them?"

Ashura just sighed.

"Now, before we continue, you both may pick one member to help you in the certain challenges. James, you pick first."

James wondered...then after a minute, he chose his new stepbrother, Isaac.

Isaac did a quiet little fist bump and earned a hug from Lilly before he walked down the bleachers and to his partner of the day.

The two did a friendly little hug and a brofist as they then prepared for Ashura to pick his partner...that is, if he wanted one. (You never know with Ashura.)

"I don't need one, let alone want one...but if I have to choose...I guess I'll just go with game junkie over there." He said, as he pointed to a miffed Layne.

Layne just rolled his eyes as he walked off the bleachers and towards Ashura. "I'm stuck with a guy with the brain the size of a pinball. Yayyyyyyyy." He mumbled to himself as he stood next to an emotionless Ashura.

"Alright!" Chris exclaimed. "Now that you two have gotten your teammates picked, I suggest you guys start running. The run for fun is first, you know!" He said with a smile. A fake smile.

Isaac was smiling like a kid on Christmas morning when he heard the word 'run'.

"Ready...set...go!" Chris yelled as the two people(plus two) started to run around the island.

-with James and Isaac-

"Dude, slow down! You're gonna waste my energy by the time I get to the second part!" james called out as Isaac continued to run.

Isaac, hearing his words, stopped running and, with a miffed sigh, started walking.

James finally caught up to him. "Look...I know you like running, and believe me, I don't wanna stop you from doin' it, but I gotta, otherwise I gotta follow you, running faster than a cheetah to try and do so. And that wastes my energy in the process. I don't wanna give Ashura an easy victory, dude."

"I get it, but...although im not in the race anymore, it would feel nice to run." Isaac admitted.

James gave an understanding shrug. "I ain't judging."

Ashura and Layne suddenly zoomed by. "Later, suckers!" Ashura yelled, followed by a maniacal laugh.

"You may not need to judge, but we better start running!" Isaac exclaimed in alarm.

"You don't have to tell me twice, bro! Come on!" James said, giving off a hand gesture to follow him.

And with that, they ran.

HEY. YEAH YOU. I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE.(Dont be alarmed. Caps Lock)

I just wanna say that I've made the decision to make this into a two parter. Due to the fact Ive waited enough time, a stomach bug has been preventing from getting done, and (WE ALL KNOW THIS ONE) schoolwork.

But, thats all I wanna say. See ya next time, and my deepest apologies to anyone who is disappointed in this update. I'll try to finish it in my spare time.(It'll be a lot quicker update. LOL)
