And the story continues, now the problem is not that im not motivated (I worked past that) now I dont know who to vote off, do you guys want to vote? Anyway, I digress, enjoy the chapter and review! ^_^
Chris was going to give the recap however, instead of his back facing the cabins, he had his back turned towards a dark and foggy island in the distance (the 'camera' is positioned so you can see the island)
"Last time on Total Drama Island, the remaining campers took a spin om the, Wheel Of Food! Some campers were surprisingly lucky (Luis) others had a bit of a rough time (Dutch). Michiko had a hit of help from Mal, what is with him anyway? Things got interesting when Viola made Johan eat the poisonous Manchineel fruit in her place, causing him to become a bit sick!" Chris states
"So THAT'S what it was called!" Briar is heard saying
"In the end it was Charlie who took the ride home, 16 campers remain and we're not slowing down, who will be the next camper voted off? Find out right here on Total Drama Island!"
In the Gopher Girls cabin, Kristen had just woken up and had gotten dressed, she appeared to be writing something down but from the view of the camera, its difficult to see. When she finishes what she had been writing she leaves the cabin and heads over to the boy's cabin, where she slides her note under the door, Kristen quickly runs away from the cabin to avoid being noticed. Luis was about to leave the cabin when he found the note and began reading, it said...
'Dear Michael,
Love is a powerful and beautiful thing; It binds two people a girl to get sweeped off her feet when she sees a knight in shining armour is true love; a perfect and sweet little are a true prince; sticking up for your friends and making sure they're safe; I wish you'd make me feel this 're sweet, kind and truly a great friend; but I'd wish you could see me like I see you; a prince.
From, Your Secret Admirer'
Luis gasped in shock and a bit of envy, he rushed to give Michael the note addressed to him
*confessionals*
Luis: So one of the girls likes Michael? Lucky!
Michael: So a girl likes me? Well I dont know what to say...
Kristen: I hope Michael likes my letter, I had Nikki help me with it!
Nikki: I'm glad to help Kristen, maybe someday I'll have someone *she blushes*
*end confessionals*
Meanwhile in the Intern cabin, Mike was sleeping but Johan was awake watching Mike, who was rapidly shifting between his personalities
"Ay, so how we gonna get rid of Mal?" Vito asked, still sleeping, Johan wrote down something as Vito spoke
"Not sure mate... Mal is a wily one!" Manitoba replied
"We needs uns idea! We cannot let Mal succeed in... whatever he is planning!" Svetlana called out
"I dont know guys, Mal is getting stronger for as long as that girl, Michiko, is here! And I just cant boot her off of the show!" Mike stated, he was obviously conflicted about the situation "What do you think Chester?"
"Ehh, as long as he doesnt give me any problems!" Chester replied without any emotion
Johan left the boy's room and met up with Briar, she gave him the notes he wrote down
"What did you find out?" Briar asked
"Well from what I gathered Mike has about 5 personalities: first is Vito, he sounds like an Italian tough guy, he doesnt seem very bright though. Then theres Svetlana, she sounds Russian or Swedish, Manitoba, who speaks with an Australian accent. Chester, who sounds like an old man, and Mal, I dont have much info on him, but from what the other personalities say about him, he sounds like bad news!" Johan reported
Mike had woken up during Johan explanation to Briar, he approached them and looked around for the other interns, once he noticed the 3 of them were alone, he began speaking.
"Hey thanks again for helping me out, but if its ok, id like to have this secret just between us!" Mike pleaded, the other 2 nodded in agreement
"Great!" Mike said "Also I had this awesome idea for the prank war..." he continues before Chris' voice blares through the speakers
"Attention campers, please report to the beach immediately for today's challenge!" Chris said, the interns and campers then went to meet with Chris
Once everyone was at the beach, Chris was ready to give the contestants the challenge
"Everyone here? Good! Now today's challenge is a canoe race to the deadly Boney Island, once you get there you'll trek through to the other side, I'll give you further instructions once you get there!" Chris said, Boney island could be seen in the distance, the part that stood out the most was a rock formation that appeared to have the face of a skull, Luis grew increasingly more frightened
*confessionals*
Luis: Did Chris say Boney Island was d-d-d-deadly?!
Hayden: Tamara did not go with the plan in the last challenge, she is on razor thin ice!
Astrid: I figured I've been too quiet for a while! I was scopin' out the competition, from here on forward im gonna rock this competition!
*end confessionals*
"What are you all waiting for? Go!" Chris shouted, he shot a gun in the air to signal that the game was on, once everybody was running, a pigeon fell from the sky, it was dead from the bullet Chris fired into the air
"Oops!" Chris said, not feeling too much remorse
At the beach, the contestants were trying to decide who would go with who, there were multiple canoes available, they were either Green for Gophers or Red for the Bass. Damion had approached Corlissa
"Hey Corlissa, why don't we go on a canoe together!' Suggested Damion
"Oh, yeah, sure!" Corlissa answered, trying to sound as cool as possible
*confessional*
Corlissa: Yes! Now I just have to make sure I dont mess up, in the challenge or with Damion
Damion: She said yes! Now I just have to play it cool!
Johan: Thank goodness Chris said he didn't need us for this challenge, now we have something more important to worry about!
*end confessional*
For the Bass, Damion and Corlissa shared a canoe, Blake and Dominic shared one, leaving Dutch, Michiko, and Charlotte to share one
For the Gophers, Michael and Kristen shared one, Hayden and Tamara shared one, Ruby and Viola, leaving Alyx, Luis, and Astrid to share a canoe
During the ride, Corlissa and Damion just talked about normal things and were getting to know each other, they were both desperately trying not to blush. Blake was trying to talk to Dominic, although he didn't really answer, Blake knew he was listening to her and understood her. Dutch and Michiko refused to speak to each other. Hayden was speaking to Tamara about her performance in the previous challenge.
"You were supposed to throw the challenge. We were going to have Ruby gone!" Hayden starts, his voice sounded unnaturally calm but Tamara knew he was not happy
"S-Sorry!" Was all she could say
Hayden pondered for a moment before speaking up again. "It's fine, but the team now sees Ruby as a strong teammate so there's no way of getting rid of her now. We need to pick off someone who nobody would miss, someone like Astrid!"
Tamara still looked uneasy as she didn't want to lose, winning the challenge meant she was safe from elimination, if her team lost then there is a chance that she herself could be voted off, and she couldnt rely on Hayden forever. Reluctantly however, Tamara agreed to vote Astrid off.
Meanwhile, Astrid was telling Alyx and Luis a story as they went along in the canoe, she was about to finish the story...
"And that's what happened!" Astrid stated
"That's amazing! I never knew you were so adventurous!" Luis remarked, Astrid's story impressed him
"Woah!" Alyx squeaked
"Anyway, this may seem very sudden, but we need a plan if we're going to win this game!" Astrid remarked
"Very true, I was thinking that maybe we should form an alliance!" Luis announced, he said it as quietly as possible just to make sure nobody else heard him
"Im in!" Astrid said, Alyx slowly nodded at the proposal, she also joined the alliance
"Great! Now all we need to do is win this challenge!" Luis said
Once everyone was at Boney island, Chris appeared in a helicopter he spoke into a megaphone, he was going to give the campers their next challenge objective
"Campers, for the next part of the challenge all you need to do is get your canoes through the forest and to the other side of the island!" Chris states, he blew an air horn to signal that the challenge began again, both teams took their canoes and made a mad dash for the forest
Kristen was walking along with Michael, she tried talking to him but he was to preoccupied with trying to get the mosquitoes away from his face.
Since the team was going as a group, Hayden noticed Kristen's attempt at talking ti Michael and notified Tamara of this
*confessional*
Hayden: With Kristen being too focused on Michael she can be my next target! Who lets a simple crush get im the way of an opportunity as good as $100,000!?
*end confessional*
The Bass didn't talk much, tension was high on their team since 4 members of their team crushed on each other, Dutch didn't really care and Michiko just wanted to see Mal, eventually Blake struck up a conversation with Dominic
"So Dominic... what do you think of the challenge so far?" She asked, Dominic just shrugged at her question, he wasn't one to talk
*confessional*
Blake: I just love how mysterious Dominic is, but im not going to let my crush on him get in my way, I dont need anybody watching over me!
*end confessional*
As the Bass continued walking Corlissa and Damion stopped for some reason. It turns out they had stepped in quicksand
"Guys! Help!" Damion called out, the other Bass tried to reach for them but they couldnt as Damion and Corlissa were too far into the quicksand and they didnt want to risk sinking with them. The more Corlissa and Damion struggled, the faster they sank. Acting quickly, Dominic grabbed a long vine off of a tree and tossed it towards the 2. Corlissa quickly grabbed the vine and pulled Damion and herself out of the quicksand.
"That was close... wayyy to close!" Corlissa stated
"Thanks Dominic, we owe you one!" Damion said, Blake smiled at Dominic and blushed
Meanwhile, the Gophers weren't having any trouble with their walk, they had just spotted a cave
"This will probably take us to the other side of the island, we have to go through!" Hayden announced, Luis and Tamara both looked uneasy as the cave looked very narrow and not very spacious
"There's gotta be some other way!" Astrid called out, she looked a bit unnerved herself
"Oh quit your whining and let's get a move on already!" Viola stated, she was getting annoyed at the complaints
"This cave is the only way through..." Alyx said, even though she was quiet she was very observative
"Alright..." Astrid sighed in defeat. The group went into the cave when they were almost out they heard growling behind them, they all turned around to see a pack of some sort of large rodent behing them. Luis screamed, prompting the others to run, the rodents gave chase!
"What are those things!?" Ruby screamed
*confessional*
Chris: The wooly beaver: a near extinct mammal found only in the caves of Boney Island. Heh heh. Probably should have told them that!
*end confessional*
The Gopher team continued to run when the reached the beach, however they were disappointed to see that the Bass already made it to the beach first.
"What took you guys so long!?" Dutch taunted, Michael and Luis glared at him, Chris soon arrived from a helicopter
"Great now that everyone's here, here's the next part of your challenge, all you need to do is make a fire. The bigger it is, the more points you get. Points will be judged by the size of the flame!" Chris announced, the teams immediately went to go look for firewood
Meanwhile at the Intern cabin, the interns were watching TV, Johan, Nikki, Ciana, and Chef were all wearing sports Jerseys that had a black stripe, a red stripe and a yellow stripe. Briar, Mike, and Sapphire had similar jerseys, except theirs had white and blue stripes. They were watching the TV in awe
"Come on come on come on!" Johan stammered
Soon the 4 wearing the Yellow, Red, Black jerseys started to shout
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAL!"
It's revealed they were watching the World Cup
"Thats $20 Mike!" Johan said, Mike handed him his twenty
"Don't get so excited!" Briar said "Argentina can still bounce back!"
"There's almost no time left!" Ciana replied
"...And that is it! Germany has secured the victory for the World Cup!" The announcer said, there were cheers and cries coming from the cabin, their shouts reached all the way to Boney Island
The teams had just heard the interns while they were collecting firewood
"What was that?" Luis asked
"It doesn't matter, just get more wood!" Michael answered
"Alright." Luis said, while they continued gathering wood, Kristen was watching the two, well watching Michael mostly, she then spotted a strange wooden tiki-like doll on the ground
"Woah! Cool!" She said, taking the doll
"Campers, you have 10 minutes remaining! I'd start working on the fires if I were you!" Chris announced, the campers then rushed to the beach, the Gophers' fire looked pretty good, the Bass', for lack of a better term, looked like crap
"This isn't working, I'll be right back!" Dutch said, his team didnt try to stop him, while they were distracted with Dutch, Hayden snuck up on the Bass and took their oars to paddle the canoes, he then tossed them in his team's fire. Dutch returned with a ball of honey covered in leaves and dead twigs, when Corlissa saw what Dutch brought she was furious.
"Time's almost up and you brought us a ball of garbage?!" She steamed
"Calm down!" Dutch replied "I know how to build a fire, this is our key to victory!" Dutch then tossed the ball into the fire, the fire exploded into a large inferno, thankfully nobody was hurt
"Woah!"Chris called "I think its safe to say the Bass have the better fire!" The Gophers moaned and groaned in defeat
"Alright campers, the first team to make it back to the beach back at Camp Wawanackwa wins the challenge!" Chris said and he flew his helicopter back to the camp
The Bass looked around for their pars but couldn't find them
"Hey, where did the oars go?!" Michiko called out, the Bass were surprised when Hayden walked over to them (without his team noticing) he started talking to them
"If you're looking for your oars don't bother, I think I saw Luis and Michael take them and throw them into our fire!" Hayden lied, the Bass however took the bait and assumed he was telling the truth
"How could they sink so low!?" Charlotte questioned in shock
"Argh! Just wait until I get my hands on those two!" Dutch proclaimed
"I guess we're swimming back..." Damion said
Soon, the team took their canoes and swam back to the island, the Gophers still had their oars. Eventually the Bass piled up all their canoes together and swam together as a group, their combined efforts gave then a burst of speed, this helped them get to the beach faster securing the win for the Bass.
"And the Bass win the challenge! Gohpers, looks like I'll be seeing you at the elimination ceremony again!" The Gophers looked disappointed
A few hours later, Dutch found Michael and Luis talking to each other about the letter
"So who do you think sent it?" Michael asked
"I dont know, but you're so lucky! Some girl here likes you!" Luis responded
Dutch approached the two, he looked furious
"So you two think you can just go and sabotage the game for me huh?!" Threatened Dutch
"What are you talking about?" Michael said, Michael was answered by a punch to the face.
It didnt take long for the fight to get brutal, Luis got away as fast as he could to get someone to stop the fight, from behind a tree, Kristen was shocked to see the boys fighting. Lotte also happened to be watching from inside her cabin
*confessionals*
Kristen: I hope Michael will be ok... what am I saying? Of course he'll be ok, hes like, the strongest guy on the island, and I have my lucky doll to protect him! *she pulls out the cursed doll she took from Boney Island
Lotte: I love watching idiots fight! *she laughs wickedly*
*end confessional*
Elimination Ceremony
"So, interns, how was the World Cup?" Chris asked, he couldn't watch it as he was preoccupied with the challenge
"Germany won!" Johan answered
"Awesome!" Chris replied "Gophers, you know how this works, if I call your name, you're safe! But before I do, Michael, what happened to you?"
Michael is bruised and he has a bloody nose, he looked angry...
"He and Dutch got into a fight, thankfully Chef and the interns split it up!" Luis answered
"Heh heh! That is awesome!" Chris chuckled "More fights means the ratings will skyrocket! Anyway Michael, youre safe, and so are you Luis!" Chris gave them their marshmallows
"The following competitors are also safe!"

"Alyx! Sorry Kristen, looks like its time to go!" Chris said
"*sigh* Well, if im leaving then I have to come clean. Michael, I was the one who gave you that note, and I meant every word of it! Thanks Nikki for helping me write it by the way!" Admitted Kristen, she blushed heavily
"No problem Kristen, sorry you have to go" Nikki replied
Before Kristen could head towards the dock, she was stopped by Michael who gave her a sweet kiss on the cheek
"Thanks Kristen, I know that wasn't easy to do!" Michael said, the two hugged
"Oh wait!" Kristen said, she ran towards Alyx and handed her the cursed doll
"Here Alyx, why don't you take this!" Kristen said, bidding her friend a fond farewell
That night, before Alyx went to sleep, the doll's eyes began to glow an ominous red...
Chris stood in front of the cabins
"And that leaves 15! Will the Gophers realize the curse of the mysterious tiki doll? Should I tell them about it? Will the Bass build up a winning streak? Will Luis and Michael survive Dutch's wrath? Find out next time on Total Drama Island!"
So Kristen is gone, she was an enjoyable character in my opinion. I'll try to give every character a line of dialogue in the story, having many characters in the same story can make things harder, and I know I haven't updated much, but I'll try as much as possible, let me know in the reviews how you felt about this chapter by the way! ^_^
