School's almost over for me so that means I'll be able to (hopefully) get these chapters out faster. But anyway, enjoy the chapter!
"Last time on Total Drama Action, the teams were merged, leaving our final eight contestants to fend for themselves in the Space Movie challenge. Johan seemed to have a lot of fun with the muffin button, which I still don't know how the producers were able to afford but hey, as long as I get paid! Little did Johan know, him playing with muffin button wound up being the reason he was voted off. What can I say, you screwed up dude. Anyway, we're down to the final seven and after today's challenge, there will only be six. How will Nikki play now that her boyfriend is gone? Will Damion, the only boy left in the game, be able to stay? Find out now on Total Drama Action!"
It was about an hour after Johan was eliminated, the boys cabin was completely silent since Johan left. Damion was laying in bed, looking outside a nearby window.
*confessional*
Damion: Now that I'm the only guy left in the game, the girls will probably try to team up and take me out, just like they tried last season. Yeah, once I arrived at the Playa De Losers, the others told me about the Girls' Alliance. If I want to stay in the game I have to try and win invincibility as much as I can.
*end confessional*
Meanwhile, in the girls trailer, Nikki was lamenting over her boyfriend's elimination.
"Why did you girls have to vote him off? I know he screwed up but couldn't we have let him stayed?!" Nikki cried.
"It was nothing personal Nikki, but Johan is a pretty solid competitor. He won a good number of challenges for his team." Tamara noted.
"He's a cool guy and all, but he screwed up." Ciana added. "Gotta give him points for taking his elimination so well though."
"I guess you're right, but I'm gonna miss him..." Nikki said. Viola sighed after she said that, thinking about Dutch.
Outside of the trailers, Chris turned on a megaphone and set it to its loudest setting.
"ATTENTION FINAL SEVEN, I WANT YOU ALL FRONT AND CENTER IMMEDIATELY!" He announced, the contestants lined up in front of Chris, a few of them looked a bit grumpy since they had already gone to sleep.
"Chris, what the f*ck is your deal?!" Ciana shouted.
"To answer your question Ciana, this a head start on your next challenge. Chef, if you would..." Chris answered, Chef arrived pushing a cart loaded with boxes of pizza and medical books. "Today's movie challenge is Hospital movies! Now real doctors spend all night studying and brushing up on diseases and how to treat them. So you'll spend have to spend the rest of the night cramming for tomorrow's challenge, you'll be able to enjoy these pizzas while you study."
"You want us to stay up all night to study for a challenge, and you're just going to give us pizza?" Viola asked.
"Yup! Well, I'll see you all in the morning, I'm gonna go get some shut eye." Chris teased, heading back to his trailer.
At around one in the morning, the contestants were all in the craft services tent studying and eating pizza. Ruby and Michiko looked as if they were on the verge of passing out.
"Ugh, screw this, I'm going to bed." Ciana hissed, she grabbed one last slice of pizza and headed back to the trailer.
"Should we stop her?" Tamara asked.
"She made her choice, so she has to live with it." Viola answered.
"Well it wouldn't be smart to make her mad by keeping her here. Ciana can get really brutal if she's mad." Nikki noted. In the kitchen, Dawn and Sammy were watching the others. They tried to be as quiet as possible.
"I wonder why Chris had us make all of those pizzas with Chef?" Sammy pondered.
"I fear we will find out soon. On a different note, where is your sister?" Dawn asked.
"I'm not sure, and I know this is going to sound mean but I'm kind of glad she's gone."
"That's understandable, perhaps this leave will brighten up her aura a bit."
"Maybe, but I'm still going to ask Chris where she is. Amy is still my sister and I care about her, even if she is mean to me." Sammy stated.
*confessionals*
Ciana: I don't care what Chris says, I'm getting some shut eye. With everyone else being tired in the morning, I'll be the one that'll win in the end!
Viola: Ciana has the right idea of getting some rest. The later we stay up studying, the more likely we will fall asleep during the challenge. However we'll probably use the information in the books for the challenge, so she'll be at a disadvantage.
Tamara: I'm psyched to make it to the merge and that Hayden can't get in the way this time, but the girls and Damion are all really tough. This might be harder for me than last season!
Dawn: It's good to see Sammy caring about her sister, despite her aggressive tendencies. Though it is to be expected, her Sky Blue aura clearly shows this.
Sammy: I'm actually really glad I took this internship, I made a lot of friends since I've been here, even if I'm not competing!
*end confessionals*
The next morning, most of the contestants had fallen asleep, Viola, Damion and Tamara were the only ones that were still awake. Ciana, who was well rested and ready for the challenge, entered craft services tent with a sly grin on her face.
"Morning girls and guy, did you sleep well?" She teased, earning a few groans from the others. Chris then entered the tent with Chef and the interns.
"Good to see you all so eager to start the challenge! Hehe, alright follow me to Studio number eleven so we can get this challenge started!" Chris announced.
Studio #11 was set up like a hospital, though there was a large tank with an eerily green liquid inside.
"Now that we're all settled, here's how the challenge will work. You'll answer a series of questions about some of the various diseases you've studied about last night. If you get a question correct, you'll have to dive into this vat of green goo. Inside of it are a number of fake body parts. You'll collect these body parts and attempt to create a cadaver!" Chris explained. "So basically, you'll answer medical questions to try and make your own Frankenstein."
"Uh... Frankenstein was the name of the doctor, the monster we call Frankenstein has a different name." Damion corrected. [2]
"Whatever. Anyway, the first question goes to... Nikki. Here's an easy one, how do you treat a small cut?"
"Easy! Disinfect the wound and apply a bandage." Nikki answered.
"That's correct! Get ready to take a dive Nikki." Chris said. Nikki climbed high dive that was next to the tank of green liquid. Nikki dove into the liquid and pulled out what looked like a rubber arm.
"And there's an arm! All you need now is the other arm, the legs, torso, and head!" Chris said cheerfully. "Next is Tamara, what disease is shown to be similar to a heart attack?"
"Oh, I know this one! It's Foxdie!" Tamara quickly answered. [3]
"Correct again!"
Tamara took her dive as well, she came out with a leg, but she also had something brown and limp in her hand. This object attacked Tamara with an electric shock and then slithered back into the liquid.
"What the heck was that?!" Tamara screamed.
"Hehehe, I forgot to mention that there are some traps in the slime. Well, the more you know!" Chris chuckled, Tamara glared at the host. "Anyway, let's continue."
Chris continued asking the seven contestants medical questions.
"Ciana, what condition affects pregnant women?"
"Gestational Diabetes." Ciana answered, surprising a few of the others.
"Correct!"
*confessional*
Ciana: Even though I went to bed last night, I still remember a few things. I'm not an idiot!
*end confessional*
"True or False: Is the Kiss of Death real?" Chris asked Viola.
"The answer is true, though it's more commonly known as Chagas Disease." Viola answered.
"Not bad Viola!"
Chris continued asking the questions and more pieces of each contestant's cadaver were found. Viola and Tamara had found the most pieces, with the former needing only an arm and the latter needing a head. Chris was currently going over the score for the audience.
"Alright, so it's Viola and Tammy in the lead with one body part missing for both of them. As for the rest of you, you might want to get your butt in gear since you're all missing two pieces. Michiko, this next question goes to you. True or False: The human body can survive with one kidney."
"True, a person that has only one kidney can also continue living a normal happy life." Michiko answered.
"Yeah, that's great. Now take the dive Michiko!" Chris said. As Michiko was taking her dive, Nikki's stomach began rumbling loudly.
"Uh, Nikki. You good?" Ciana asked, but just as Nikki opened her mouth, she burped loudly, shocking everyone in the room. Nikki covered her mouth in embarrassment.
*confessionals*
Damion: Oh my lord that was hilarious!
Ciana: DAAAAAAAAMMMNNNNN!
Ruby: That burp can't be normal, it just sounded... off...
Tamara: I think Nikki just broke my record from last season, haha! [4]
*end confessionals*
"Wow Nikki! What did you eat?!" Chris said, laughing hysterically. Suddenly, Ruby sneezed with enough force to knock herself down.
"Woah! Are you alright Ruby?" Tamara asked, she was going to go help Ruby up, but she spontaneously vomited onto the floor, Tamara then began to turn a sickly green color...
"Ok, this is getting wayyy to crazy for me. So I'm just gonna head back to the camera room and watch you guys from there. Later!" Chris said, running away from the studio as fast as he could.
"Ok, this can't be a coincidence." Viola stated.
"It's gotta be the pizza Chris gave us!" Damion added.
"Uh, actually that's a negative Damion. Chef and I did nothing to the pizzas." Chris admitted.
"Well, either we still have to find a way to help the girls!" Viola said. "Maybe these are symptoms to on of the diseases in the book?" Viola began flipping through the pages of one of the books, but a whisking sound seemed to catch everyone's attention. Everybody was shocked to see that Viola seemed to have lost control of her bladder.
"Oh no... this can't be happening!" Viola said in shock. From the camera room, Chris and Chef were laughing their heads off.
"How can you be laughing at a time like this?!" Sammy shouted.
"How can you not?! Viola just pissed herself on national TV!" Chris answered, still laughing.
"There has to be something we can do to stop this!" Nikki said in a panicked tone. Her stomach began rumbling loudly again, Nikki clenched her stomach in pain. "Ooooh... excuse me for a minute." Nikki ran off to go look for the nearest bathroom, she seemed to be passing gas with each step she took.
"Oh hell naw! I'm ain't gonna get sick and die!" Ciana said, she ran for the door leading outside but she completely missed the door and ran into the wall instead. "HOLY F*CK IM BLIND!" She shouted.
"Looks like it's up to us Damion." Michiko said, she tried to walk to the door to the studio, but she collapsed after taking one step. "My legs! I can't feel my legs!"
"That means Damion is our last hope. Now... where is Damion?" Viola asked. The girls looked around for Damion, who was in a fetal position on the floor. He was shivering as if he was frozen.
"So cold... it's so cold... can't move..." Damion squeaked.
"That's it... we're gonna die!" Tamara cried. Ruby stood up after sneezing for about 2 minutes straight.
"I'm gonna try and go find someone who can help us, in the meantime, don't go anywhere." She said, heading for the door.
"Oh, don't worry! I'll be right here..." Nikki shouted from the bathrooms, she sounded miserable.
Ruby left the studio, sneezing violently as she closed the door, causing her to be pushed onto the ground again. When she got up she turned around and saw a girl standing in front of her. She was about Ruby's age with black hair, brown eyes, and a black work dress. The odd thing about her was that her skin seemed to be an ominous grey color.
"Who are you?" Ruby asked.
"It's none of your concern, but you need to take this." The girl answered, she took out a medicine bottle and gave Ruby one of the tablets that was inside.
"Listen, this isn't really the best time and I don't do that kind of stuff. So maybe you should-" Ruby was about to ask the girl to leave, but the girl held Ruby's mouth open and forced the medicine into her mouth.
"What the hell is your deal?!" Ruby cursed.
"You and your friends have been afflicted by the Enricks virus. I have given you the cure, give it to your friends and they shall be cured as well." The girl replied.
"I've never heard of that disease before, and how do you know this medicine will work? How were we even infected?!" Ruby questioned.
"The virus usually manifests if certain chemicals combine, these chemicals are usually found in foods such as pizza and sandwiches. As for the cure, I've done extensive research on this disease. You most likely haven't heard of it because it isn't in any medical book." The girl explained.
"Ok, but... has the cure been tested?" Ruby asked nervously.
"No more questions! Go, you don't have much time left!" The girl yelled, she took out an object that looked like some sort of flashlight. She flashed Ruby with it, blinding her with an eerie blue light. When Ruby recovered, the girl was gone.
"Ugh, what just happened?" She said to herself, she looked down at her hand and saw the medicine bottle that the mysterious girl gave to her. "Oh right, the others!" Ruby ran back inside the studio as fast as she could.
Chris and Chef seemed to be having trouble with the signal as soon as Ruby stepped outside, once the strange girl vanished, the signal came back.
"What the crap just happened?" Chris questioned, the others were just as baffled as he was. [5]
Back in the studio, Ruby was giving everybody the medicine. One by one the contestants were back on their feet and perfectly healthy. Except Nikki, who was still on the toilet, the others were outside the bathroom door.
"Do you really want to go in there?" Michiko asked.
"I have no choice. Hold your breath everyone." Ruby answered, everyone held their breath, Ruby opened the door and ran inside, she gave Nikki the medicine and the two of them exited the bathroom, Ruby gasped for breath while Nikki (along with the others) looked incredibly embarrassed.
Chris re-entered the studio looking relieved and thankful.
"Ok, thanks to Ruby, you're all still alive. So I think we can all agree that Ruby wins invincibility and the special reward!" Chris announced.
"Special reward?" Everyone asked.
"Yeah, see I was going going to give the winner of the actual challenge an opportunity to spend day at the spa with someone close to them. But since Ruby saved all of you, I think she's earned it. So Ruby, I hope you and your sister enjoy your day at the spa!" Chris explained. "As for the rest of you, get ready to boot someone out!"
At the Gilded Chris Ceremony, the other six contestants were casting their votes. Ruby ha already left for he spa trip with her sister.
"Well today's challenge has proved to be very shocking and even a bit scary! But either way it was awesome! Hehe! The first Award goes to Miss Polly Pees-a-lot! Hahahahaha!" Chris laughed, tossing the award to Viola, who was blushing in embarrassment and giving Chris a nasty glare.
"Bathroom Girl, you're safe too!" Chris tossed Nikki the next Gilded Chris.
"Chris, can you just knock it off with the nicknames, we've been through enough as it is!" Damion protested.
"Alright, fine. Here, you're safe too." Chris said, giving the next award to Damion.

"Michiko, you're safe too leaving us with Tamara and Ciana. Ciana, you were actually scared in this challenge. Tamara, you looked like you were going to die of a heart attack rather than the sickness!" Chris said, embarrassing Tamara and angering Ciana.
"Oh shut the f*ck up and end this already!" Ciana cursed.
"Fine, fine. The last Gilded Chris Award goes to..."

"Ciana." Chris announced, tossing Ciana her award. "Well Tamara, the Lame-O-Sine is ready to go."
"I guess that's it for me then. Good luck guys!" Tamara said, she seemed to have a bit of a smile on her face. She waved goodbye to the others and they waved back at her, she entered the Lame-O-Sine and was sent off.
"And we're down to the final six! Who will be the next person to take a ride on the Lame-O-Sine and who will advance to the final five? Find out next time on Total Drama Action!" Chris said, signing off.
Ruby and her sister Katelyn were enjoying their time at the spa. Katelyn was a small blonde girl who looks to be about 8 years old. They were currently enjoying a fancy looking dinner.
"Hey Katie, is mom doing ok?" Ruby asked.
"Yeah, she's doing fine! Our stepdad's been out of the house a lot for some reason. But mom just hopes you're having fun over here." Katelyn answered. "Oh, I almost forgot! Some people at your school wanted me to give this to you."
Katelyn handed Ruby a rather large bag of mail, Ruby took one of the letters and opened it. When she read it, she looked depressed when she read it.
"What's wrong sis?"
"I'm not very hungry anymore Katie..." Ruby said solemnly, she walked away. Katelyn, seemed curious about the letter, so she decided to read it herself.
'I saw the pic, damn you're a sl*t!'
'Wow, you're pathetic.'
'How did you even get on this show? Did you give the producers a B* or something?!'
Katelyn gasped at how cruel the letters were, she ran to go find Ruby...
And that's the end of this chapter. I know this chapter seemed a bit overly cruel to the OC's and I apologize if that upset anybody. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it and will wait for the next chapter.
