Well, my summer vacation is almost over and school is starting up again! (Class of 2015! Woohoo!) Anyway, this chapter features another cameo appearance from another PI contestant and even a fan favorite contestant, and this chapter was really tough in terms of having to eliminate one of the contestants since I like all of them, but one of them had to be eliminated... anyway, enough rambling, enjoy the chapter!
"Last time on Total Drama Island, the remaining 10 campers went through the dark maze inside of the mountain! Hayden struck a deal with Dutch, threatening to tell everyone that he's the father of Charlotte's baby if he doesn't work for him. Dutch isn't the father by the way! Hehe, speaking of Dutch, he finally confessed his feelings for Charlotte, shockingly, she turned him down! Ouch! Charlotte, or should I say Lorraine, turned on the other girls just so she could win, that's probably why she was the one who took a ride on to Boat of Losers! So long Charlotte! Or is it Lorraine? I can never tell! Other than that, Michael beat up Fang which is just insane! Nine remain and after today, one more will leave, who's will sink and who will stay afloat? Will today's special guest spark up some more drama? Find out right now on Total Drama Island!"
The four boys were on their cabin, Michael and Luis actually felt sorry for Dutch, despite everything Dutch did since he got here, Hayden couldn't care less.
"Dutch... are you alright?" Luis asked, he seemed a bit afraid to ask since there was still the possibility that Dutch might lash out towards him, surprisingly, Dutch answered calmly, he sounded upset, but he didn't sound angered or annoyed!
"I just need some space alright." He said
"Well, we're going to get some breakfast, I guess we'll see you there." Michael said, still a bit skeptical about Dutch's calm behavior, the two boys left for the mess hall, leaving Hayden and Dutch in the cabin.
"Dutch, just because Charlotte is gone doesn't mean our deal is over, remember that! You will still do as I say, or I will ruin you!" Hayden threatened, he left the cabin leaving Dutch behind. Dutch began to look incredibly stressed out, he couldn't do anything, if he goes against Hayden for even one moment, he would be done for! He collected himself and headed for the mess hall.
Meanwhile, the interns were having breakfast, Nikki also seemed distraught over the events of the last elimination. Johan took notice of this.
"Nikki, somethings bothering you, do you want to tell me what it is?" He asked, he put his arm around her in the hopes of comforting her.
"It's just that Dutch and Charlotte seem to go so well together! Why did she reject him?" She questioned
"It's not our business Nikki, besides this show could deal with one less lovey-dovey couple!" Ciana noted
"I guess your right, maybe they'll get together after the show!" Nikki said hopefully
"I don't mean to sound rude, but it's not very likely, Charlotte seems intent on not having a relationship with Dutch! I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Dutch no longer wants to be with her." Briar blurted out, the interns finished their breakfast and went to go help Chris with today's challenge.
Everyone was in the mess hall, nobody was eating since Chef hadn't prepared any food.
"Where's Chef with our breakfast?" Michael asked
"I don't know what's worse, not eating, or eating Chef's crappy food!" Ruby joked, getting a good laugh out of the contestants, except for Viola.
"Watch your mouth Ruby, I'm not very fond of profanity!" She said
"Sorry, but it's true!" Ruby responded, Chris spoke to the contestants through the intercom
"Attention campers, report for the docks for today's challenge!" Everyone left the mess hall headed straight to the docks. Chris was waiting for them
"Good morning campers! Let's cut to the chase! Today's challenge Is simple, you'll have to catch an animal in the woods and bring it back here. There is a shack full of items you can use to catch the animal, and we'll be having a guest!" Chris said, a boat soon arrived at the docks, two girls stepped off of the boat, one wore a pink skirt and blouse, she had pink bows in her hair which was an elegant black, she had a warm smile on her face. When Viola saw her she immediately grinned. The other girl had very light blonde hair and pale blue eyes, she wore a green sweater with a blue blouse underneath and a purple skirt.
"Ella?!" She called out
"Viola! It's a pleasure to see you again!" Ella responded with a musical inflection in her voice, the two girls hugged
"You two know each other?" Luis asked
"Of course! Ella is my best friend!" Viola replied
"The other girls name is Dawn for those of you who were wondering!" Chris said
"It's a pleasure to meet you all, though your auras seem to be all over the place! Some are a sweet blue!" Dawn greeted, she looked over at Luis and Tamara when she mentioned their blue auras "While others are more more erratic and dark..." She looked at Dutch, Hayden, and Michael as she said this, everyone was confused at her words.
"So Chris, are Ella and Dawn going to help in the challenge?" Viola asked
"Yup, somehow her singing can calm wild animals down. Which is annoying, but if the animals are calm then they won't attack anybody and I won't get sued! And Dawn can communicate with animals... somehow, which is a bit creepy! Chris said "Now you all have 3 minutes to get any item that'll help bring your animal here!" Chris pulled out a stopwatch with a 3 minute countdown, he started it, the contestants began to search the cabin for any useful items.
"A rope! This could prove to be effective!' Luis announced, getting a rope from a wooden crate, Astrid pulled out a tranquilizer gun from the same crate
"Oh this is gonna be good!" She exclaimed eagerly
Dutch got a bucket from a shelf. Hayden took a mallet from the shelf opposite of Dutch. Ruby took the entire box that Luis and Astrid got their equipment from, she emptied it out since there was nothing useful left in it. Corlissa got a smaller cage.
"Thirty seconds left!" Chris announced, Michael and Viola looked a bit nervous, they still didn't have anything. "Times up!" Chris announced, everyone except Michael and Viola had something to use.
"Now that you've had enough time to search for something to use, it's time to pick your animal!" Chris said, he took out a hat with shredded paper I side of it, these papers had names of different animals on it. Hayden picked an animal first since he won the previous challenge.
"Squirrel! Hmph, something small and easy!" He smirked, the others glared at him. Even Ella seemed irate towards him. Corlissa picked her animal next.
"A bird? I need to think about this..." Next was Luis
"A s-s-snake?!" He said nervously, Dutch picked his next
"A bunny? Seriously?" Chris chuckled at Dutch's animal, Viola picked her animal next
"Bear... well then..." Viola exclaimed, Ella began to look a bit concerned for her friend, she didn't know how Viola could take on a bear. Michael was the next to pick
"A beaver? Seems simple enough!" Next was Ruby
"A deer, shouldn't be too hard!" She stated, Astrid and Tamara both chose their animals together
"An alligator? This is gonna be good!" Astrid said eagerly
"An chipmunk! They're so cute!" Tamara exclaimed
"Now that you all have your animals and equipment, I should tell you this challenge's surprise. The last person to bring their animal or the person who doesn't bring it at all is automatically eliminated!" Chris explained, the contestants gasped at this. Even the interns looked a bit surprised!
*confessionals*
Hayden: Automatic elimination... I have to work quickly if I'm going to win immunity again, thankfully I have Dutch to use as a scapegoat if I need to!
Viola: This challenge isn't going to be easy, but I have to do this! It's also really nice to see Ella again, she auditioned for the show but sadly, she wasn't accepted, but it's great that she's here to help for the challenge though!
Johan: Wow! Chris is really getting serious with the eliminations isn't he! I'm glad I'm not competing!
Ruby: People hunt deer all the time don't they? I just need to work fast and carefully! ... I didn't really think I'd get this far to be honest!
Luis: A s-s-s-s-snake! Of all the animals that were available! I may have to be smart and extremely careful about this challenge!
Ella: Chris was kind enough to allow me to use the confessionals for this challenge! I must say it is great to be here and great to see my dear friend Viola again! I do worry if she will be alright during this challenge, catching a bear is not an easy task if it is angry!
*end confessionals*
Astrid had gone to search for an alligator in the marshlands of the islands, because of the tall plants in the area it made it a little difficult to see, so Astrid jumped into the tress to get a better view of the area.
"I know you're here somewhere!" Astrid said to herself, she saw a bird land on the swamp water, it stood for a few seconds before an alligator ate it!
"Crikey!" Astrid called out, it sounded a bit strange due to her accent
Luis was looking for a snake, albeit he did not want to even search for one in the first place, he found Michael holding a beaver in his hands, the beaver looked a bit derby, as if idle didn't even notice Michael holding it!
"You already found your animal!?" Luis said in disbelief
"Well yeah, this little guy didn't even fight back! Why don't I help you out! I'm pretty sure the others have t even found their animals yet!" Michael proposed, Luis looked hopeful. Nearby, Viola was by a cave and there was a bear sleeping inside, Viola entered the cave and tried to move the bear over to the cage set up by Chris and the interns at the docks.
"Come on big guy! I've gotta win invincibility!" Viola said, she could barely move the bear, which woke up while Viola was trying to move it, the bear gave Viola a confused look.
Tamara was busy looking for a chipmunk, which was proving to be no easy task since they were small animals. While she was searching she heard what sounded like a conversation.
"Ok, I helped you get a squirrel, now can you help me find my animal?"
Tamara saw the conversation from behind a tree and scowled at Hayden who was talking with Dutch. Dutch had just helped Hayden catch a squirrel, the squirrel looked terrified, it was flailing it's arms and legs for Hayden to let go of it. Hayden was holding it by the tail.
"I never said I would help you, I said you will help me and in return I won't tell everybody!" Hayden threatened, Tamara tried not to make a sound as she slowly backed away.
*confessional*
Tamara: After Dutch's heart has been broken Hayden decides to blackmail him?! What did I ever see in him!
*end confessional*
Meanwhile, the interns invited Ella into their cabin, they weren't really doing much since the Prank War finished.
"So Ella, you're friends with Viola?" Briar asked
"Oh yes! Viola and I have been friends since we were children! She helped me get into my school chorus and I have dreamed of being a singer ever since!" Ella explained
"So you like to sing?" Mike asked
"I LOVE to sing! I once even participated in a one person flash mob in my a mall, the security guard said I had a beautiful voice and that I was banned from the mall for 6 months!" Ella explained, the interns laughed, Ella even laughed along with them!
"Dawn, you mentioned you can read auras right? If it's alright to ask, what's my aura like?" Johan asked
"In all honesty, your aura is a tarnished red, there seems to be something in your past that is troubling you!" Dawn explained, Johan and Nikki began to look worried
Some time later, Michael and Luis found a snake for Luis to bring back, it was rather long, but it was relatively harmless! Michael picked up the reptile and tried to hand it to Luis.
"Here ya' go Little Man, this snake should be good enough, trust me it won't bite!" Michael assured
"I'm doubtful about this Michael, a good percentage of snakes are venomous! This venom is highly toxic and lethal in humans!" Luis argued
"Just take the snake!" Michael said a bit impatiently, Luis took the snake, being more scared of Michael (when he's angry) than the reptile. As it turns out, Michael was correct when he said the snake was gently, it could around Luis' arm, tightly enough for it to be secure but not so tight that it cut off circulation in his arm. From a few yards away, Viola was tempting the bear that she woke up with fresh berries! Viola lured it over to the cage and safely put the bear inside, Luis and Michael arrived a few minutes afterwards, though their chance at invincibility had already been lost.
"And Viola takes the win without even getting a scratch!" Chris announced, Ella and the interns arrived. Ella congratulated her friend on her victory while the interns all had a large table with an array of trays and plates on it. "Viola, as a reward for your victory, you get to enjoy this 5 course meal!" Chris exclaimed, Viola was in awe while Michael and Luis looked incredibly jealous
"Sorry boys! But it looks like I've won this round!" Viola teased, The bear seemed uncomfortable about being in a cage so Ella began to sing to it until it fell asleep. Afterwards she joined Viola in her meal.
Back in the marshlands, Astrid was wrestling the alligator and she was winning! With one final slam I to the mud, she disoriented the reptile, she then took out her dart gun and shot the alligator in the side,knocking it out! Astrid began to carry it to the cage, which proved to be no easy task as the alligator was very heavy. Along the she came across Corlissa who was sneaking up on a bird, she managed to cage it before it could fly away.
"Good catch!" Corlissa called out to her
"Thanks! Viola already won immunity, we need to hurry!" Corlissa remarked, a deer then ran past them, Ruby arrived soon after
"Have you girls seen a deer go past here?" She asked
"Yeah, it went that way!" Astrid answered, pointing in the direction the deer went
"Thanks!" Ruby said as she ran after the deer
A few hours had passed, Chris ser up a timer showing how much time everyone had left, it was currently set to another hour and a half, Viola and Ella had ate their meal and decided to share some with Michael, Luis, Dawn, and the interns. Though Dawn didn't touch any of the meat, she ate more of the fruit that went with the meal. Things were silent until a voice called out to them.
"Chris! Open the cage!" Chris opened the cage door, Hayden then arrived and threw the squirrel into the cage, the squirrels tail was ruffled up, the squirrel looked terrified and it was even tearing up!
"Oh my goodness! You poor thing! You're safe now little one!" Dawn comforted the squirrel, she gave Hayden a death glare, the others (minus Chris) glared at Hayden as well.
"Well that leaves Dutch, Ruby and Tamara, I wonder who will get here first?" Chris questioned.
Nikki approached Dawn, she seemed worried about something.
"Dawn, can I ask you something?" She asked
"You want to know what I meant when I said Johan has had problems in the past, correct?" Dawn answered, Nikki nodded
"Johan's childhood has not been the greatest, though perhaps it would be best if you don't talk to him about it. It may make him feel worse!" Dawn warned, Nikki looked at her boyfriend with a concerned look on her face...
The group continued to wait for the next person to arrive with their animal, at this point they only had 15 minutes left.
"Better high tail it! You're running out of time!" Chris announced, Ruby still had not caught the deer, nobody knew where Tamara and Dutch were. Ruby set up a trap using the box she got, some fruit she found, and some vines. She waited until she was sure that the deer was under the trap, and she set it off. Ruby went to go check on the trap, but she was shocked when she found, not a deer like she had planned, but some sort of large human-like animal! It had purplish brown fur, it removed the box off of its head and roared at Ruby, prompting her to run in fear.
*confessionals*
Ruby: What the hell was that thing?!
Chris: Oops! Probably should've told them about Sasquatchenackwa! Hehe!
*end confessionals*
Meanwhile, Tamara was in a hurry to find a chipmunk, luckily she found a chipmunk trying to climb a tree to get some fruit, but it repeatedly fell down. Tamara, grabbed the fruit and gave it to the chipmunk! The two seemed to instantly bond, the chipmunk climbed onto Tamara's shoulder, still eating it's fruit!
"Eeeeeek! It's so cute!" Tamara gushed
The sun was already beginning to set Dutch, Tamara, and Ruby STILL had not found their respective animals, the contestants were growing anxious to see who would be going home, the timer was on 10 seconds left! Nobody knew what would happen if three campers failed to complete the challenge, the silence was agonizing. The silence was broken by two voices.
"OPEN THE CAGE!" They called out simultaneously, Chris opened the cage, and Tamara and Dutch let their animals inside. Tamara's chipmunk was still eating it's fruit while Bunny looked perfectly fine, Luis looked surprised to see that Dutch had not harmed or frightened the rabbit in any way! Just as Tamara and Dutch let their animals inside, the clock hit 0!
"And the game is over! Sorry Ruby, but it looks like your time's up!" Chris announced
"Crap..." Ruby cursed, a deer then jumped out of a large bush and stuck it's tongue out at Ruby before running off again!
The sun had set, Ruby packed her things and was ready to leave the island, the others were all waiting for her.
"Sorry you had to go lose like this!" Astrid said
"It's cool, just make sure you get Hayden for me!" Ruby replied
"Take care Ruby!" Corlissa said
"Group hug!" Tamara called out, the girls all shared a quick group hug before Ruby stepped back
"Alright, no need to go all soft on me!" Ruby argued, she continued towards the boat before she spoke to Hayden.
"You're not going to win, the girls will get you back!" Ruby hissed, Hayden got right into her face
"Don't count on it! I will win this game! You're friends... they're all going down!" Hayden remarked
Dawn and Ella stepped onto the boat as well.
"It was great to see you again Ella! Take care of yourself!" Viola called out
"Likewise Viola, and it was a pleasure to meet all of you, perhaps I can get to know ow you all better when the show is over!" Ella responded, she waved to everyone as the boat went off, the remaining 8 went back to their cabins.
"And so nine becomes 8 as Ruby takes her leave! Can Hayden be stopped? Is Dutch truly changing? And who's going to take the Boat of Losers next? Join us next time, right here on Total Drama Island!"
And so Ruby is eliminated, I really liked Ruby, she's a tough girl and she's an albino! Albinos are really cool! Though I feel like I didn't give her enough screen time, but don't worry she'll be back! Also, did you enjoy the cameos? I only planned for Ella to appear, but a stroke of inspiration made me include Dawn as well! But what's going on with Johan? Is Dutch really changing? How long can Hayden keep up this blackmail and can he be stopped? Only time will tell...
