PLEASE READ THIS!
I might as well just say this now, everybody knows it already. The poll will decide who will be going on to the next season, the reason I changed the results is because I want to know if you want the interns to compete in the next season, if you want them to compete then I'll include them, if not, then they will host the Aftermath show with the contestants who did not make it to season 2. From the results, a certain camper has his spot in season 2 pretty much secured, but now that you know what the poll is for the results will be tallied once 6 campers remain. But I'm wasting your time, please enjoy the chapter and hopefully I can get more votes so it wont be a 5-way tie for several campers :p But without further adieu, here's Chapter 11, read it, review it, and enjoy! ^_^
Chris was ready to give the recap
"Last time on Total Drama Island, the remaining campers played a nice game of paintball, some relationships are growing and alliances are brewing! But it was Alyx who was sent home, kinda sad how she felt after accidentally losing her 'good luck charm' hehe! With 14 campers left, we're coming close to the halfway point and after today only 13 will stay! Who will be next to take a ride on the Boat of Losers? Find out right here on Total Drama Island!"
The interns were still sleeping, inside Mike's mind he and the other personalities were still fighting Mal, each one taking control of Mike's body for a few moments. This woke up Johan who began to write down what was happening to Mike
*confessional*
Johan: I'm not sure what's going on with Mike, but I'm his friend and I have to help him! I need to let Briar know what's going on!
*end confessional*
Inside Mike's mind Mal had managed to push all the other personalities back, despite them having greater numbers
"Give up! Im stronger than all of you, soon I'll be in control! ME!" Mal shouted
"No... you... WON'T!" Mike shouted back at Mal, punching him in the face
Meanwhile, Johan woke Briar up and let her know what was going on with Mike, they watched the personalities rapidly shift in control. They were unsure if they should wake Mike up, the risk of them encountering a different personality was too high
In the Gopher cabin, the boys had woken up and gotten dressed
"Morning Michael!" Luis greeted cheerfully
"Hey Little Man!" Michael replied, still a little sleepy, Hayden didn't bother to say anything to either of them
*confessional*
Hayden: Seeing Michael and Luis so friendly with each other makes me sick, but having Tamara as my only ally won't get me very far, Chris will undoubtedly merge the teams soon, once that happens I wont have many allies once Tamara gets voted off. It looks like I have no choice but to *Hayden shudders a bit* be friends with Luis and Michael
*end confessional*
In the girls side of the cabin, the girls were still confused about how Alyx was eliminated since the girls all voted for Michael and the boys' votes wouldn't be enough
"One of them HAS to have messed with the votes! But who?" Ruby questioned
"It most likely has to be Michael, he might have found out we were voting for him and messed with the votes!" Viola concluded
"Maybe it was Luis! Michael protects him from Dutch, maybe he cheated to have someone watch his back?" Astrid guessed
Their debate was cut short when the loudspeaker turned on
"Attention campers, please report to the Mess Hall for today's challenge!" Chris said
Once everyone gathered at the Mess Hall, Chris was ready to tell the competitors their challenge
"Today I decided to give Chef a break from cooking!" Chris began, the campers cheered, they thought that Chef wouldn't be serving them food today
"Hold it! I didn't say Chef wouldn't be feeding you, for today's challenge, you'll be cooking a meal for 3 of the interns!" Chris said, Sapphire, Briar, and Ciana stepped forward, they would judge the meals
"What about us?" Nikki asked
"You'll be watching the campers, just to make sure nothing gets out of hand!" Chris answered, he noticed Mike was holding his head in pain, Michiko looked noticeably concerned for him
"Hey Mike. You alright?" Chris asked
"Yeah, I'm fine, just have a bit of a headache!" Mike answered
"Alright... anyway the produce you need to cook is supplied for you in the kitchen, just decide what you're making, cook it, and serve the interns!" Chris concluded
The Bass were deciding what to cook
"How about a Spanish meal?" Damion proposed
"You know that isn't a bad idea!" Charlotte said
"Ehh why not!" Dutch agreed, everyone seemed surprised that Dutch agreed without a fight
"So you guys are cooking a Spanish meal? If you need any advice on what Spanish food to make, I'm your guy!" Johan said, Johan was Hispanic
"Great!" Blake said, Michiko pulled Johan aside
"Hey, is Mal ok?" She asked, Johan seemed surprised about her asking about Mal. Mike told him Mal was bad news but to reassure Michiko, Johan responded
"Mal will be fine, a little aspirin and a nap and he'll be fine in no time!"
Michiko breathed a sigh of relief with Johan's answer, the two went back the the rest of the Bass to help with the meal
The Gophers had a bit of trouble deciding what meal to cook, the girls were angry at Michael for tampering with the votes, though they were still unaware that it was Hayden who cheated
"How about an Italian meal?" Michael suggested
"Sounds good!" Hayden replied, trying to get on Michael's good side, Hayden glanced at Tamara and smiled, Tamara smiled a bit
"Sounds good to me!" Tamara said, surprising the girls, but they didn't retaliate, they went along with the idea, the girls didn't want to start a fight now...
"So what food should we cook specifically?" Luis asked
"Wait I have an idea!" Tamara called out...
Johan handed Damion the recipes for 3 Spanish meals
"Just follow the recipes and you should be fine!" Johan said
"Thanks Johan! We owe you one!" Damion replied
"Actually there's a way you can repay me now! The other interns and I are in the middle of a prank ear, and since you're a prankster yourself, maybe you can help me?" Johan asked, Damion gave him a confident smirk, and he nodded in agreement
Inside Mike head, Vito had pushed Mal to the wall of Mike's mind, there was some sort of vacuum on the wall, Svetlana was helping Vito push Mal over to the vacuum, once Mal noticed what they were trying to do he overpowered both of them!
"Im not going anywhere!" He threatened, Chester hit Mal in the back of the head with the cane he had, it didn't knock Mal out, but it gave Svetlana, Vito, Manitoba, and Mike the opportunity to overpower Mal
"It won't end like this! This is my time! MY TIME!" Mal yelled
"I got rid of you once and I can do it again!" Mike said pushing Mal over to the vacuum
The vacuum even had a sign above it, it read 'The Right Ear'
The Bass then tried to decide who would cook what, but they had trouble. Michiko and Dutch were arguing abiut who would use a frying pan, they both had it in their hands
"Let go!" Michiko shouted
"You let go!" Dutch retaliated, Michiko gave Dutch a murderous glare it managed to spook Dutch into letting go of the frying pan, however it flew out of Michiko's hand and out of an open window. Outside, Mike was sitting down by a tree trying to relieve his headache, and unfortunately, he was hit with the frying pan
Back inside Mike's mind, just as the frying pan hit Mike, Chester managed to push a button that activated the vacuum, it sucked Mal out of Mike's head
Mike was knocked out from the blow to the head, his head being hidden by a bush, unseen by anybody, a snake-like shadow had exited Mike's right ear and escaped into the forest. The Bass went to go find the frying pan and were shocked to see Mike knocked out
"Mal!" Michiko shrieked, tending to Mike's injury, Dominic found the frying pan and guided the others back ti the kitchen
Johan and Nikki saw Michiko and Mike, they ran to them to try and help, but they didn't even step within 5 feet of Mike without Michiko giving them a death glare and hissing at the pair, prompting them to slowly back away into the mess hall
The Screaming Gophers seemed to be working well together, though the girls refused to speak with Michael or Luis, while they were preparing the food Hayden pulled Tamara outside
*confessional*
Hayden: The girls still think Michael and Luis tampered with the votes! The fools! But to make sure the girls don't suspect me I may have to flirt my way out of this. And I know just how to do it!
*end confessional*
"Tamara, we've been in this alliance for a while now... but this isn't about the competition anymore. Its just about you and me!" Hayden said, Tamara began to blush
"Tamara... will you go out with me?" Hayden asked, Tamara hugged him and said...
"Yes!"
*confessionals*
Tamara: *she is squealing in joy*
Nikki: I saw what Hayden did! It was SOOOO cute!
Hayden: Too easy! *he begins laughing maniacally*
*end confessionals*
The new couple came inside holding hands, the others noticed this and congratulated the new couple
*confessional* (how long has it been? 5 seconds?)
Luis: Hayden is lucky! It must be cool to have a girlfriend
*end confessional*
Meanwhile, the Bass were getting picking up the pace with their cooking, Michiko was still tending to Mike, still thinking he was Mal. Corlissa and Damion reached for a spoon to stir the dessert when their hands touched. They looked into each other's eyes and blushed
"Oh, here why don't you take it!" Corlissa said
"No, you use it! I insist!" Damion replied, they were silent for a moment...
Before leaning forward and sharing their first kiss! However the moment didn't last long as Chris entered the kitchen to check on the campers
"Hey! Less kissing, more cooking!" Chris said, Corlissa and Damion glared angrily at Chris who just smirked at them
*confessionals*
Corlissa: Ugh... seriously Chris!?
Damion: Well the kiss didn't last long but at least I got a kiss! Does this mean Corlissa is my girlfriend now?
*end confessionals*
Dutch looked at Charlotte, he expected her to do something cruel, he was still unaware of the fact that Lotte was just a split personality. Charlotte noticed Dutch looking at her expectantly and she sighed.
"You've got 20 minutes campers!" Chris called out, the campers watched the food baking or just talked with each other, Luis noticed Dutch looking at Charlotte instead of glaring at him and Michael
*confessional*
Luis: Why was Dutch watching Charlotte? Would he stoop so low as to bully a girl? No... that cant be, I don't think anyone could be THAT mean! Of course... this is Dutch I'm talking about...
*end confessional*
Time was up and the campers brought out the food for the interns
"It's about time! We're starving!" Ciana whined, Viola gave her a bit of an annoyed look for her whining
"Alright, now that the food's ready who will serve their meal first?" Chris asked, both teams just stood there silently, Chris began to grow impatient...
"Alright, we'll flip a coin! Bass since you won the last challenge you call it!" Chris announced, the Bass debated on which side they bet on, Charlotte gave the decision
"Tails!" She said, Chris flipped the coin and sure enough, it landed on tails
"Alright, Killer Bass, you're up!" Chris said
The Killer Bass set up the table the interns would be eating on with a tropical design including, an orange table cloth, tropical flowers (which were plastic), and the cursed tiki doll (nobody knew it was cursed)
"Alright Bass, what did you make?" Chris asked
"We decided to go with a Spanish meal!" Blake replied, Chris looked a bit confused
"I kinda figured you would go with a Japanese meal..." Chris said
"Does it matter?" Michiko questioned, Chris just shrugged at her response, Charlotte gave the interns a portion of each dish
"We prepared some Cocído, Coffee Flan for dessert, and Esca... Escabe... how do you pronounce this?" Dutch said, unable to pronounce the name of the final dish
"Escabeché!" Johan said
The girls wasted no time in eating the meal, Briar seemed pleased with the meal overall, Ciana didn't like the sweet taste of the Flan, and Sapphire felt that the Cocido was too spice. Corlissa grabbed Damion's handing, the team was nervous of how their food would be judged. Once the girls finished, they were ready for their evaluation
"So how was it?" Chris asked
"It was really good! I give it an 8 out of 10!" Briar said
"The dessert was a bit too sweet for my liking! I give it a 6." Ciana stated without much enthusiasm
"It was kinda spicy, im giving a 6 as well..." Sapphire judged
"So the Bass' final score is a 20 out of 30, not looking too good!" Chris said "Gophers, can you beat it?"
The Gophers set up the table like an Italian bistro, with more urban flowers like roses and tulips.
Ruby, Viola, and Astrid gave the interns their meal
"We went with an Italian themed meal with Peppered Shrimped Alfredo..." Ruby began
"Antipasto..." Tamara continued
"And Italian cream cheese and Ricotta cheesecake!" Viola finished
"A bit cliché but lets see how it goes!" Chris said, the girls seemed to really enjoy the meal, though Ciana seemed a bit unsure with the cheesecake
"Its amazing! A perfect 10!" Sapphire said
"Just like I said im not too big on sweets, but otherwise, its pretty good, I give it a 7!" Ciana said
" That's 17 out of 30, Gophers, if Briar gives you a low score its back to the elimination ceremony!" Chris taunted
Briar was still eating and seemed pleased with the food
"Can I have seconds?" She asked, Chris gave her an annoyed look "Oh! And I give it a perfect 10!"
"And there you have it, the Gophers come back with a win! Killer Bass, looks like you're sending a fish home!" Chris announced, the Gophers cheered at their victory Hayden even kissed Tamara!
After the challenge Mike regained consciousness, he woke up in the intern's cabin, the others were waiting for him to wake up
"Ugh... what hit me?" Mike asked
"Apparently a frying pan knocked your lights out!" Sapphire answered
"From what Chef told us, you should be fine in a couple of hours." Nikki added
"Well its been a long day, why don't we just watch the elimination and head off to bed!" Johan suggested, the others all agreed
Inside Mike's mind, the personalities were celebrating Mal's ejection from Mike's mind
"Finally, its about time we finally got rid of The Malevolent One!" Manitoba cheered
"Good riddance I say!" Chester added
"This calls for a party!" Vito said, he turned on music on a sound system that seemed to materialize out of nowhere and began to dance to the beat
"And Vito still cannot dance!" Svetlana chuckled, Vito glared at her, Mike still seemed a bit unsure, Manitiba noticed this
"Oi, im sure Mal is gone for good, you won, now you can take things easy!" He said
"I dont know Manitoba... something just seems wrong. Its like Mal is still here... hiding somewhere." Mike remarked
At the elimination ceremony, everybody was nervous, they all contributed to their loss, Michiko was holding the cursed doll
"Well this day has certainly been interesting! We saw romance and pain, this'll be great for the ratings!" Chris began, Nikki handed Chris the marshmallows
"You know the drill, if I call your name then you're safe!"
"Dominic!"

"Corlissa!"

"Blake!"

"Charlotte!"
.

"Damion!"
"Michiko, you're on the chopping block for worrying more about Mike than winning the challenge!" Chris said
"His name is Mal!" Michiko retaliated, Chris looked confused but shrugged it off
"Whatever... Dutch, its always you isn't it!" Chris teased, Dutch just grunted angrily at Chris
.

*confessionals*
Mike: I still don't know why Michiko likes Mal so much! And why do I feel like Mal is still here?!
Michiko: I can't leave, not without Mal, and nobody is going to get in my way!
Dutch: I'm not leaving, I always find a way out of elimination, and it won't change now!

"You always seem to find a way out of this Dutch! You're safe!" Chris said, tossing the final marshmallow to Dutch
Michiko stood up and rushed to Mike, she gave him the cursed tiki doll, Chris recognized it as an item from Boney Island
"Wait, you took an item from Boney Island!? You should never do that, it could be cursed!" Chris shouted, everyone gasped "Nikki, get rid of this!" Chris handed Nikki the cursed doll.
"Wait! I need to stay goodbye to Mal!" Michiko called out, Chef dragged her to the Dock of Shame
"Hold it!" A voice called out from the forest, everybody gasped when they saw who it was, even Chris. Mike had a look of pure horror... it was Mal
"Wait! How did... but you... what!?" Mike stammered, Briar and Johan were at a loss for words
"Poor, poor, Mike! See, it's like this, all of the energy from the cursed doll, combined with Michiko's power gave me my own physical body, and it was released once you suffered the blow to the head!" Mal cackled maniacally "And now that I'm free, I have no need for you anymore!" Mal grabbed Michiko's hand and the two stepped on the Boat of Losers together
"Oh Mal!" Michiko swooned, hugging Mal who was laughing maniacally as the boat was driven off. Everyone looked absolutely shocked and speechless at what just happened
"Well... this elimination was... interesting! Join us next time for another dramatic episode of Total Drama Island! ... Am I going crazy?! Please tell me im not!" Chris signed off
And so the cursed tiki doll claims its final victim. Though with Michiko's elimination, I'd say she isn't a victim, she got her prize! As for Michiko herself, I really liked the idea of a character with supernatural attributes, though because of her relationship with Mal, she lost focus of the game... and the fact the she gave people very nasty glares and fought back if people got too close to Mike/Mal is based off of the Yandere trope of anime. But anyway, how did you feel about Damion and Corlissa becoming a couple? Will Hayden's plan work? Let me know in the reviews how you feel! ^_^
