Here's Chapter 4! Chapters might take a little bit longer to come out since it's ALREADY hard deciding who gets eliminated. Anyway, enjoy.
"Last time on Total Drama Action, our 16 contestants were assigned to their teams; The Tenacious Turtles and the Rowdy Roosters. The first team challenge was simple, perform an entertaining skit. The Turtles tried a comedy routine while the Rooster tried a much more emotional appeal. Long story short, the Roosters won the challenge and the Turtles voted Corlissa out! How will Damion last without his girlfriend? Which team will win today's challenge? And most importantly, who will be the second contestant voted off? Find out right here on Total Drama Action!"
It was the night of Corlissa's elimination, the boys were all asleep, except for Johan. He was still laying in his bed, holding a stuffed cube with big blue eyes and small arms with tiny mittens for hands. [2]
*confessional*
Johan: I always have a bit of trouble actually falling asleep, so I just lay awake in bed for a while until I black out. But once I fall asleep, I'm out like a light!
*end confessional*
Johan eventually blacked out, the next morning all the boys had woken up and were beginning to get dressed. As they were getting dressed, Hayden accidentally elbowed Michael in the ribs.
"Watch it!" Michael threatened, pushing Hayden back.
"What do you mean 'Watch it'? I didn't do anything!" Hayden replied, shoving Michael. The two continued arguing, after about a minute their scuffle lead them out of the trailer where some birds were picking some worms. With one good shove, Hayden pushed Michael to the ground, a crunching sound was heard. Dutch helped Michael back up, Michael was about to punch Hayden right in the throat but Hayden grabbed Michael's fist.
"Enough, it was an accident, I'm sure we can be civilized about this, we're teammates so we have to work together!" Hayden said.
Michael lowered his fists and gave Hayden a suspicious look.
*confessionals*
Michael: Hayden's up to something, it's obvious. But just because we're teammates doesn't mean I won't watch him carefully.
*end confessionals*
"Um... guys..." Luis said, pointing to something on the ground. All of the boys turned to see what Luis was looking at. When Hayden pushed Michael down, Michael accidentally landed on a Blue Jay, breaking it's leg and wing, leaving it to flop around awkwardly.
"Ok, that's just gross." Hayden remarked. Dutch carefully picked up the bird and tried to calm it down as best as he could.
"I'll get a shoe box." Johan said, heading back into the trailer, the other boys soon followed. [3]
*confessional*
Damion: Why must the innocent get punished?! *he is burrowing his head in his hands* [4]
*end confessional*
Meanwhile, in the girls trailer, Viola was talking to Ruby, Tamara and Astrid about something.
"So what are you saying?" Ruby asked.
"I'm saying that I can't be a part of the girls' alliance anymore!" Viola answered, this made the girls gasp.
"What? Why?!" Tamara questioned.
"I can't restrict myself to being a part of an alliance, I need to lead my team!" Viola replied, the other girls looked upset, but they understood. Astrid looked a little bit offended, she was the one who started the alliance, but she shrugged it off. She and Viola pretty much acted as co-leaders in the alliance.
"Plus you have Astrid to lead you!" Viola added, Astrid looked a bit pleased with that statement. Ciana had overheard that conversation.
"Lead them all you want, it won't matter. I'm gonna win it all!" She announced, Michiko rolled her eyes at her statement.
"Well Ciana, who's the leader of your team?" Tamara asked.
"Me of course!" Ciana quickly answered.
"What if I want to be the team leader?" Ruby asked.
"Or me?" Astrid and Michiko said simultaneously, Ciana was about to say something, but Viola quickly spoke up.
"Just be thankful Hayden isn't the leader."
The girls all agreed on that statement.
Some time later, everybody was eating breakfast in the Craft Services Tent. Dawn and the Twins were there as well (just like the interns last season, they had their own table).
"Samey, go get me a cup of coffee!" Amy ordered, Sammy sighed and got up.
"Why do you treat your sister like that?" Dawn asked.
"Well for one, she's useless! Second, she doesn't do anything useful!" Amy began, Dawn quickly spoke up.
"I mean, from what I can tell, she hasn't really done anything to deserve that treatment. Her aura is completely clean. Your aura, on the other hand, looks dark." Dawn explained, annoying Amy.
"Whatever." Amy said, ending their conversation. The boys went over to their table, some of them looked distraught.
"Hey Dawn, can you give us some help?" Johan asked.
"Of course, what seems to be troubling you?" Dawn answered.
"See there was a little... accident this morning. Long story short, this bird's leg and wing are broken and we're going to nurse it back to health. But we need someone to watch over it while we're doing a challenge. Can you help us?" Luis explained.
"Of course!" Dawn answered cheerfully, Dutch handed her the shoe box with the injured bird in it. "I'll make sure you're as good as new, little one!" Dawn told the bird, softly petting it's head. Chris then entered the tent.
"Good morning!" He announced. "Challenge time, let's go!"
The contestants groaned, not looking forward to the challenge.
Everyone had gathered around Studio #3, it looked like some sort of factory.
"Today's movie genre, is Alien Movies! As for the challenge itself, you have to navigate through the alien base and destroy the eggs that are hidden in one of the rooms. But it isn't going to be that easily with our little friends running around." Chris announced.
Suddenly 3 large, black, reptilian creature leaped out of one of the air vents. It had a scorpion tail and it lacked visible eyes. The contestants jumped back when they saw them.
"Hehe, calm down, these aliens are just animatronics, just like the monster. The aliens will do everything they can to prevent you all from reaching the eggs. Also, I've decided to spice up the game a bit, hidden somewhere in the studio is a golden movie ticket, if anyone finds it, they can use it to save themselves from elimination!." Chris continued.
One of the aliens leaped towards Luis and stretched it's mouth open, it was large enough to swallow him whole. Luis fainted when the alien did this, but he quickly woke up.
"Alright, ready! ... Go!" Chris sounded an air horn, starting the challenge. Both teams raced into the studio.
Rowdy Roosters
Studio #3 was split up into 3 parts; the main room, the queen's chamber, and the nest. Each area had many rooms and paths leading into the other areas.
The Roosters were currently in the western section of the main area. Eventually they ended up at a room with 3 different paths, one going straight forward, one going farther west, and one going east.
"This way!" Astrid, Ciana and Hayden all said simultaneously, they all glared at each other.
"Well there's no way all of them go to the same place." Astrid said.
"That should be obvious..." Hayden remarked.
"Listen you! I've had enough of-" Astrid hissed, ready to knock Hayden out. Surprisingly, Ciana held her back.
"Just stop alright!" She said, she stepped towards the path going west. "Anyone who wants to go this way can follow me!" Hayden and Astrid stood by the paths they wanted to go through, Astrid wanted to go east while Hayden wanted to continue going straight forward. Sapphire and Michiko stood with Ciana (Group A) while Ruby, Michael and Dutch went with Astrid (Group B), leaving Hayden by himself.
*confessional*
Hayden: Seriously?
*end confessional*
The three groups went down their chosen path. Nobody in any group looked back.
Tenacious Turtles
The Turtles were in the Easter section of the studio. Unlike the Roosters, they didn't find any straying paths. They didn't seem to be having much trouble, but something was watching them. Suddenly, the sound of clanking could be heard above them.
"What was that?!" Damion questioned, everyone looked around to find the source of the noise. Suddenly, a hatch in the ceiling opened, one of the aliens jumped in front of them, causing the contestants to all scream. Unfortunately, their screaming attracted the other two aliens.
The aliens let out a menacing screech, prompting the Turtles to run away as fast as they could (thankfully they didn't run as slowly as actual turtles).
They all separated into two smaller groups consisting of Tamara, Nikki, Damion and Viola (Group C) in one group, and Briar, Luis and Johan in another (Group D).
Group C kept running until they saw a sign on a door that read 'oT s'neeuQ mooR'[5] the 4 of them ran into the room without any second thoughts, they NEEDED to get away from that alien.
From a camera room, Chris and Chef were watching the contestants. The three blondes (the interns, coincidentally they actually are all blondes, this was not planned), were the same electronic suits that Amy had when she was controlling the monster in the first challenge, they were controlling the aliens.
"Why are the signs backwards?" Chris asked, Chef just shrugged.
Group A
Ciana's group were going through a long hallway, there weren't many rooms in the hallway and the rooms rooms that were there didn't have anything interesting in them. Sapphire opened the door to one of the rooms and walked inside, one of the aliens came up behind her and shoved her into the room.
"EEK!" Sapphire shrieked, Michiko and Ciana rushed to go help her, but the door was locked.
"Locked! Damn!" Michiko cursed.
"Stand back..." Ciana said, pushing Michiko back a bit. Ciana took a few steps back and then ran for the door, she tackled it and broke it down. The alien had Sapphire pinned against the corner of the room, it opened its mouth baring it's fangs at Sapphire. Suddenly, another mouth shot out of the alien's mouth, the second mouth was less than an inch from Sapphire's face. [6]
Michiko's eyes began to glow red again, she walked right up to the alien and grabbed it's second mouth and began pulling at it. The other girls were shocked to see Michiko successfully rip out the second mouth right out of the alien. She then proceeded to, for lack of a better term, beat the crap out of the alien. It began to spark and it eventually powered down.
From back in the camera room, the interns were also stunned at what Michiko just did, Chris and Chef seemed impressed. Amy tried moving around frantically, but the alien she was controlling no longer worked.
"What the hell?!" Amy cursed.
"Perhaps that's a bit of karma for how you've been treating your sister." Dawn commented.
"Oh shut up! Amy hissed.
Group B
Astrid's group continued east, they also saw the sign that said 'oT s'neeuQ mooR', though they weren't being chased by one of the now two remaining aliens.
The eventually entered a chamber that had a very large alien in it. It was several times larger than the ones they had seen earlier.
"Oh! They found the Alien Queen!" Chris said excitedly, Chef was eagerly eating some popcorn.
The group charged for the alien hitting it with all of their might. They seemed to be inflicting some minor damage but the alien was still going strong.
"Hmph, I guess this one puts up more of a fight!" Michael said eagerly, Dutch cracked his knuckles.
"Let's just get this over with..." Ruby said.
The group charged for the Alien Queen again.
Group C
Viola's group had finally stopped running when the found that the alien was no longer chasing them.
"It's not chasing us anymore, that must mean it went for the others..." Viola said.
"Oh I hope Jojo's ok!" Nikki said with worry in her voice.
"This challenge is already too much! That alien could be anywhere!" Tamara cried, Viola had to slap her to snap her back to her senses.
"Stop complaining!" She said.
"Thanks, I needed that." Tamara replied.
"It's what a leader does. Now come on, we need to keep moving!"
"This way!" Damion called to them, he was pointing to a pathway leading to somewhere called the "mooR gnilioB'.
Group D
The alien was still chasing Briar, Luis and Johan, since he was less physically adept, he fell behind rather quickly, giving the alien the perfect chance to take him.
"LUIS!" Briar and Johan shouted, but it was too late. The alien didn't seem to get very far though, some struggling was heard in a nearby room.
"Help! Help!" Luis called out. Johan and Briar hurried to where they heard Luis. They opened the door to see the alien trying to swallow Luis whole! The two looked absolutely mortified, Johan immediately shut the door.
"Good thing I'm a man of the world!" Johan said.
"I'm terrified beyond rational thought. I can't look!" Briar admitted, covering her eyes. Johan reopened the door and found Luis, sitting alone in the room, he was shaken up but otherwise, just fine. [7]
*confessionals*
Sammy: I couldn't bring myself to hurt Luis, it just didn't feel right...
Dawn: I'm glad Sammy didn't harm Luis, it shows that she shows mercy. Which is something Chris unfortunately lacks.
Chris: One one hand I'm glad Sammy didn't kill Luis because we could get sued. But on the other hand it would have made things more interesting.
*end confessionals*
Hayden
Hayden was surprisingly lucky, he didn't have any problems with the aliens. He was whistling the same tune Mal usually whistled, he saw something reflecting some light in his face, he found the source of the light to be something gold.
"And what's this?" Hayden said with intruige. He eventually came across the room labeled 'mooR gnilioB'. He opened the door, only to come face to face with one of the aliens.
The alien roared in his face. Hayden didn't back down however, he stood his ground, despite it being unlikely that he would be able that he could take out the alien by himself.
While Hayden was dealing with the alien, all of the other groups managed to meet up in the Nest, where the Alien Eggs were kept.
"There are the eggs!" Nikki called out. Everyone began to make a run for the eggs, suddenly, the second alien arrived.
The Roosters helped Hayden take down the alien that was attacking him. The second alien tried to stall the Turtles, but Viola managed to get past it and reach the eggs. She grabbed the four eggs that were there.
"Guys, catch!" Viola shouted, throwing the eggs to her team. Thankfully they all managed to catch them.
"Now!" Briar shouted, smashing the alien in the head with the egg, her teammates followed suit.
"And the Tenacious Turtles win!" Chris announced.
"Damn!" Ciana cursed.
The other Roosters didn't seem so upset with their loss, they knew knew who they would vote off.
Elimination Ceremony
The Roosters had gathered in the amphitheater.
"Welcome Rowdy Roosters to your first elimination ceremony. Here's how it works, there are voting devices under your seats, just tap the face of the person you want eliminated and that will count as as one vote. Now, go on and make your votes." Chris explained.
The Roosters made their votes, Chris looked excited.
"Well, this ought to be good!" He said, the interns arrived in their dresses again. However, Chef was also there, wearing a pink dress, the Roosters looked absolutely disgusted at Chef's look. Chef handed Chris the Awards.
"Alright, the following contestants are safe. Michiko!"
.
.
.
"Dutch!"
.
.
.
"Ciana!"
.
.
.
"Ruby!"
.
.
.
"Michael!"
.
.
.
"And Astrid!"
"Now this isn't surprising! In a landslide vote, Hayden is voted out!" Chris announced, none of the Roosters seemed upset about this.
"I'm afraid I'm not leaving!" Hayden said with a sly smile. He pulled out the golden movie ticket, prompting everyone to gasp.
"Hehe, looks like Hayden saved himself! All votes towards him no longer count, making Hayden's vote the only one still valid, meaning Sapphire is voted out!" Chris exclaimed.
"What?!" Sapphire shouted in disbelief.
"That's bullsh*t!" Ciana cursed. Chef grabbed Sapphire and then tossed her into the Lame-O-Sine, not giving her any time to argue, the limo then sped off into the night.
"And so Sapphire is the second contestant voted off! Will the bird Hayden and Michael almost killed stay alive? Will Amy ever be nice to Samey? Probably not. But most importantly, who will be the next person voted off on Total Drama Action!"
*sigh* Having Sapphire leave was a hard choice, heck, having any of these characters leave is going to be hard. I want to give them all as much time to develop and converse with each other as much as they can, but sadly that's extremely hard. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the chapter.
