This chapter was been long overdue and I apologize for that, but thankfully it's up now so I hope you guys like it.
"Last time on Total Drama Action, our final seven studied long and hard to do well in the Hospital Movie challenge. All seemed to be going well until an actual virus had infected them, which created probably the funniest moment on this show yet!"
Chris begins laughing hysterically, after a few moments he tried to regain his composure and continue with the recap, but he couldn't go five seconds without laughing.
"Chris, pull yourself together man!" Chef said sternly.
"I'm sorry, I can't stop now!" Chris answered.
The camera cut to a 'Technical Difficulties' image for a moment before panning back to Chris, who had finally calmed down.
"Sorry about that, but aside from the comedy that had been made, the producers and I did not plan for that to happen. It was all an accident. The last thing our cameras picked up was Ruby leaving the Studio and then it just went to static. What's even more strange was how she came back in perfect health and with the cure to this strange disease. Since she saved everyone's lives, she won invincibility and the chance to have a little spa day with her little sister. But it wasn't all fun though, since Ruby got a little fan mail from home that said some really messed up things. But that isn't all, being the genius that I am, I scheduled an elimination ceremony as well and it was none other than Tamara who got the boot. With only six contestants left, who will be the next person to take a ride on the Lame-O-Sine? Find out right here on Total Drama Action!"
The final six contestants were asleep in their trailers, everything was quiet and serene. Chris and Chef approached the trailer, the two of them were dressed in army attire. Chris took a deep breath and blew a trumpet that he had in his hand, waking up the contestants.
"Good morning contestants! Hope you had a good night sleep!" Chris greeted.
"Ugh, it's like, 5:30 in the freaking morning! Can't you just give us a break!" Ciana shouted.
"No can do, this early morning wake up call is actually a taste of today's movie challenge; War Movies!" Chris answered. "Speaking of War movies, who better to lead this challenge than Total Drama's own soldier, Chef!"
Damion and Nikki gulped in fear at this announcement.
"So if Chef is in control of the challenge, what are you gonna do?" Viola asked.
"I'll be watching from the camera room. So I'll be there if you need me, but please don't need me." Chris replied. "Chef, you're free to do as you please."
"Hehehe, oh this is gonna be fun." Chef chuckled. "Follow me to Studio #12, and be quick maggots!"
*confessionals*
Ciana: I can handle Chef's challenge, but I cant believe Chris is too lazy to actually stay and watch the challenge. But hey, at least we won't bother us during the challenge.
Viola: There are only six of us left in the game, and I must admit, the others are stronger than I expected. Though I'd say the biggest threat is Ciana, but I shouldn't doubt the others.
Ruby: *Sigh* After what happened at the spa, I wasn't sure if I should quit. But my sister convinced me to stay, while I'm here I might as well try to win.
Damion: I'm honestly surprised I made it this far, but I'm not giving up yet. I can't afford to give up.
Nikki: I'm getting kind of worried, the others are really tough and I don't know if I can beat them, but I have to try!
Michiko: I think it's about time I showed everyone just what I'm capable of...
*end confessionals*
Studio #12 was set up like a jungle, there was an empty clearing in the middle of the studio.
"When you're a soldier in war, you must always have an ally watching your back. So for this challenge, you'll be handcuffed to somebody!" Chef explained. Ciana was paired with Viola, Ruby was with Damion, and Nikki was with Michiko.
"What's the deal with the handcuffs?" Ciana asked.
"A soldier must never leave his allies behind! If you unlock the handcuffs, you will be eliminated. If you break the handcuffs, you will be eliminated. Do I make myself clear?" Chef questioned, the others nodded in understanding but that didn't seem to be enough for Chef.
"I said, DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!" Chef thundered.
"Sir, yes sir!" The contestants answered.
"Good! Now we can move on the the actual challenge. You'll each have a home base with a flag inside of it, your objective is to collect the flags of the other teams. First to collect all three flags wins." Chef explained.
"So we're just playing Capture the Flag?" Damion asked.
"YES! DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT CADET?!" Chef shouted.
"No sir! Sorry sir." Damion replied.
"Good, now get to your bases and let the game begin!" Chef announced, starting the challenge.
After about 10 minutes, Michiko and Nikki were the only ones who were not at their bases. Michiko was leading Nikki out of the studio.
"Uh, Michiko. Our base is back there, where are you going?"
"Oh, don't worry. You'll see." Michiko answered ambiguously, Nikki looked very uneasy.
From the camera room, Chris watched the girls leave the studio, he looked a bit perplexed.
"What the? Where are you two going?" He said to himself, he picked up his cell phone and began dialing.
Chef was watching the remaining two pairs compete, the pairs had paintball guns to defend themselves. Damion and Ruby seemed to be working reasonably well together, they hid in bushes and behind trees to avoid getting caught. Viola and Ciana seemed to have a bit of rougher time, due to their conflicting personalities. Viola wanted to go about the challenge with a more stealthy approach, while Ciana prefer to go in guns blazing, both literally and figuratively.
"Ciana, what are you doing?! If you don't stay down you'll get blasted!" Viola whispered, trying not to let the other team find them.
"Relax girl! We got this!" Ciana assured. "I just hope my pants don't fall again..." Ciana whispered to herself, grabbing her belt.
"What was that?" Viola asked.
"Nothing! Come on, let's get this over with."
Chef's cell phone began to ring, Chef seemed a little confused when he saw Chris calling him.
"What do ya' need?" Chef asked.
"Chef, Nikki and Michiko just left he studio and I don't know where they're going but you might want to go find... oh crap!" Chris said, he sounded a bit scared.
"Chris? What's going on? Hold up, I'll be right there!" Chef exclaimed.
"Chef, wait, where are you going?" Sammy asked.
"Chris needs my help, you two are in charge while I'm gone!" Chef answered, running for the exit.
Michiko led Nikki to the entrance of another studio, Michiko's eyes were as red as blood, Nikki looked extremely unsettled.
"Uh, Michiko, I really think we should be heading back to the challenge now!" Nikki said, Michiko didn't answer. Instead she looked around and saw a camera that was filming them. Michiko ran for the camera with Nikki right behind her. In one fell swoop, Michiko jumped for the camera and completely crushed it with one hand.
From the camera room, the camera that Michiko had crushed just showed static to the camera room, leaving Chris completely shocked.
'Where are they headed?' He thought to himself. He then saw the pair in front of a building that looked all too familiar to Chris. "Oh sh*t..." He said, locking the door to the room he was in.
From outside the building, Michiko destroyed the camera that was focused on them.
"Michiko... you're really starting to scare me now! Can you at least tell me what we're doing over here?!" Nikki asked, her voice beginning to crack.
"You'll know soon enough, but for now..." Michiko said, she then slammed Nikki's head into the wall of the building, knocking her unconscious. She then proceeded to violently yank at the handcuffs, breaking them and injuring Nikki's wrist in the process.
"In this condition you shouldn't be a problem, but I'll have to take you with me to avoid any suspicions." Michiko said, carrying Nikki over her shoulder.
Michiko entered the building, it didn't take long for her to find the room she was looking for. She tried to open the door but to her dismay, it was locked. This didn't stop her though, she set Nikki down on the wall and began tackling the door. From the other side of the door, Chris was piling desks and chairs to block the door. When he had nothing left, he hid in the darkest corner of the room.
The blockade that Chris set up didn't seem to help as Michiko broke through the door relatively easily, she saw Chris in the corner and began approaching him.
"Haha, hey Michiko! What's up?" Chris said, grinning sheepishly.
"Hehehe, this is going to be fun." Michiko said, cracking her knuckles with a sinister grin on her face.
"Look if this is about the million bucks then I'm sure we could work something out!" Chris pleaded.
"You think this is about money? Oh you foolish man..." Michiko pulled out a knife and held it to Chris' neck. "Do you want to know why I use a knife? Guns are too quick, you can't savor the kill." [1]
Before Michiko could do anything drastic, Chef ran into the room to help Chris.
"What the hell are you doing?! Chris, you alright?" Chef questioned.
"Chef, boy am I glad to see you! Get this psycho girl out of here!" Chris begged.
"This just got interesting." Michiko said, she still had an evil grin on her face.
A half hour went by and the interns were still waiting for Chef to come back, the two of them were starting to get worried.
"Shouldn't he be back by now? What if something bad happened?" Sammy pondered, Dawn was about to answer but the contestants approached them before she could. Ciana was holding all three flags, she and Viola were completely clean. Damion and Ruby however, we're almost completely coated in paint.
"Too easy! Where's Chef, I want him to announce my victory." Ciana said pridefully.
"He went to go help Chris with something, but he's been gone for half an hour." Dawn answered.
"Now that I think about it, has anyone seen Nikki and Michiko? I didn't see them during the challenge." Viola noted.
"Maybe they left the studio?" Damion questioned.
"Do you think maybe Chris told Chef that they left the studio and Chef went to go get them?" Sammy pondered.
"Well if that's true then it explains why their flag was so easy to get." Ciana remarked. Suddenly, Sammy's phone received a text message, she looked at the text and gasped in pure shock.
"What happened?" Ruby asked.
"It's Chris, Michiko's holding him, Chef and Nikki hostage!" Sammy answered, prompting the others to gasp.
"I knew there was something not right about that girl!" Ciana exclaimed.
"Where are they?" Viola asked.
"They're in the security camera room, that's behind Studio #3. Come on, we need to hurry!" Sammy announced, the group raced to Studio #3 as fast as they could. In the camera room however, Michiko saw and heard everything. She began heading for the exit, but as she was leaving she looked over to Chris, Chef, and Nikki who were in the corner of the room. Chris and Chef were bruised and beaten, tied to chairs and had their mouths taped shut, Nikki was still unconscious.
"I'll be back soon with a few more... guests. When I return, it'll all be over soon..." Michiko said ominously before leaving.
As the group was heading to Studio #3, Michiko managed to kidnapped a few of the other contestants and even capturing Sammy and Dawn! Only Viola, Ciana and Damion managed to make it to the Studio.
"Ok, how are we gonna do this?" Ciana asked.
"We need to be smart about this. Ciana, you're with me, we're going to take Michiko down. You guys help Chris, Chef and Nikki." Viola said. The three of them looked to see that nobody was there except for them.
"Did they just bail on us?!" Ciana said in shock.
"Do you think Michiko got to them?" Damion questioned.
"Either way, we need to stop her now! Come on!" Viola announced, the three of them ran into the building.
"You're f*cking psycho!" Someone shouted, the three of them followed the voice and saw Michiko taping Ruby's mouth shut. Michiko turned to see the trio.
"Oh, so nice of you to join us!" She greeted.
"Why are you doing this?" Viola asked.
"Why? Because I can, and if you have an issue with it..." Michiko pulled out a rather large knife from her pocket. "... then you'll have to deal with me."
"Put the knife down Michiko! We can be civilized about this!" Viola said as calmly as she could.
"Don't call me Michiko, I prefer a name more fitting like... Berserk."
"Damion, go help the others." Ciana said, not taking her eyes off Berserk.
"Shouldn't we-"
"GO!" Ciana snapped, shutting Damion up. Damion slowly went over to help the others but Berserk lunged at him when he moved, taking her eyes off of Viola and Ciana. The two girls took this opportunity to charge at Berserk.
While the girls were fighting, Damion began to untie the others. Berserk reached for her knife...
"Damion!" She shouted, the boy turned to Berserk, who threw her knife at him.
"Oh you f*cking tw*t! You almost got me right in the f*cking happy sack!" Damion shouted, the knife had barely missed his kiwis! [2]
*confessionals*
Ciana: I shouldn't be laughing, but what Damion said almost killed me!
Chef: I shouldn't say this, but that girl either has really bad accuracy or really good accuracy!
*end confessionals*
"I missed?!" Berserk shouted before Ciana punched her in the face, knocking her unconscious. Damion and the girls managed to get everyone untied.
"Thanks for taking care of Michiko, or Berserk, whatever her name is. For saving us all I think you three have earned a special reward, what do you think Chef?" Chris asked, Chef nodded in agreement.
"Tonight, I'll cook some REAL food!" Chef announced, making everyone (who was conscious) cheer.
"But, what do we do about her?" Ruby asked, pointing to Berserk.
"Don't worry, we'll take care of it." Chris answered.
Later that evening, Damion, Ruby, Ciana and Viola were at the amphitheater, they looked rather confused. Chris was standing at the podium looking just as confused as they were.
"Chris, what's he deal? You said back at dinner that there wouldn't be an elimination tonight!" Ciana argued.
"There isn't going to be one, Nikki asked me to bring you all here for some reason." Chris answered.
"And I want to thank you for telling them." Nikki said, she walked up to the podium, her head was bandaged and the arm that Berserk injured earlier was in a sling. "I wanted to bring you all here to tell you all that I'm quitting. After what happened today, I don't think I can handle all the stress. Besides I'm pretty banged up and it wouldn't be good me to stay here like this." Nikki explained
"Are you sure about this Nikki? You're missing out on a million bucks." Chris noted.
"I'm sure, good luck to the four of you!" Nikki said, she walked to the Lame-O-Sine, but Chris stopped her.
"Nikki, it's ok if you want to quit, but you're not going to toe leaving alone..." Chris said, the window to the limo opened to reveal Michiko back to normal, though she was put in a straight jacket to prevent any more violent outbursts.
"Can I take shotgun?" Nikki asked, to which Chris nodded in approval. Once Nikki was inside the Lame-O-Sine, the limo drove off.
"Since Michiko is disqualified and Nikki quit, we're down to the final four! Who will move on to the final three? Who will be the next to take the Walk of Shame? And will this show be sued for letting a potential murderer on the show? Hopefully not. The answered to the other two questions will be answered on the next dramatic episode of Total Drama Action!"
And so were down to 4! What did you think of the chapter and who are you rooting for to win? I'll try to get the next chapter out quicker but for now I hope you enjoyed this one.
