Welp, it's that time again. No, not the time to make cheese sandwiches or put cucumbers in our ears.
It's time to spin the Wheel of Morality!

Ha. Just kidding. I'm bringing up another chapter of this story and an update on the polls. Here are the results:
TDI: 6
TDA: 5
TDWT: 4
TDAS: 1
Looks like Total Drama Island's got a leg up against Action, but it's still any season's game. Tell your friends and writers of this poll on where I should start the prequel.
And as an added note I'm going to start updating every two weeks from now until the end. I know what you're thinking: 'King Goody Two-Shoes, why you so lazy?!', 'He's losing interest in his story!'. That's not really the case though. Like I said before, I've started school already and I'm trying focus on that and on the weekends write new chapters and update the story.
It takes some pressure off and gives me some breathing room to jumble this and focus on finishing my high school career at the same time. Don't worry, we're near the end of the Ridonculous Race, and I'm sure you're pumped up for the prequel as well.
In the meantime, here's a new chapter to ease off some of the tension.
You know how in Total Drama players form alliances with each other until they near or at the finals? Well, it's been like that for a while with the Sisters when we re-formed our alliance again and so far we were doing good. Ya know, like getting in the top 3 placement, beating the Ice Dancers, having a good streak with us, beating the Ice Dancers, being great friends plus cooperating with each other, beating the Ice Dancers, beating the Ice Dancers, beating the Ice Dancers.
Oh, and did I mention we were beating the Ice Dancers right now?
Yup, our alliance seemed unbreakable, perfect way to get us to the finals. Well, at least that's what I thought until more people came in. Then it probably would've gone for better.
Or for worse.
But as for right now, the Cadets, Sisters, we, the Acrobats, were taunting at the fourth place Ice Dancers, who only glared back us; Josee twitching her eye in annoyance. Okay, MacArthur and I were the only ones taunting/dancing stupidly at them. Everyone giggled and laughed at the scene, especially Kitty toward me as I was acting childish.
What can I say? I'm silly.
(Combined Confessional: Outside the Temple)
Emma: Nice change of pace. We made the top 3 and we're doing good so far.
Sky: And not only that, but we're getting great entertainment *gestures to Zane and Kitty in the background*.
Zane: *Doing the Moonwalk and Singing as Kitty laughs at the scene* HEY-O! HEY-O! HEY-O! HEY-O! *Stops dancing and forms a cocky smile to the camera* IN YO FACE ICE DANCERS!
Kitty: *Laughing herself really hard and gasps for air* Okay, okay. Th-that's good e-enough Z-Zane.
Zane: *Smiles* You sure? I could go for another round.
Emma: *Turns back to the camera* Another round and he might destroy Kitty's lungs.
Kitty and I walked back to Emma and Sky near the Don Box, "Okay, that was nice change of pace. Let's get started now." I said, cracking my fingers.
Sky and Emma took the next tips, "Travel to Can Tho, Vietnam where the fish are plentiful and pungent."
"To the airport!" I pointed to the sky. No, not my cousin, the thing above us that keeps us alive and breathing.
But anyway, we took a taxi to the airport and I thought it was safe. Well, ok. It depends on the definition of safe because with all the other six teams, on board it's a little uncomfortable with the fact that Josee was trying to burn me with her glare to me all the way there. When we landed, the Ice Dancers took off faster than us.
Well actually, Ms. Pink and Prance-a-lot decided to trip me when I got up. I (and unknowingly Kitty) sent her an angry look as she blew a raspberry at me. It's like they're trying to provoke the teams.
The time we got the taxi stops, the other teams took off in cabs leaving us ragged.
"Ugh, no more cabs." Emma complained.
"Oh perfect. We went from the top to bottom 3 just get left in the dust." I agreed, crossing my arms.
"Check these out." Geoff pointed to crossover bikes with chariot seats with two kids ready. (A/N: I don't know what they really are by the way.) "Wicked!" Him and Brody ran one of them.
"Only one left for all of us." Sky said when we arrived to the vehicle.
"Well, when in Vietnam..." Kitty replied while taking a selfie.
"No way, this kid fast enough." Emma denied, sending a glare. "Zane, you get up here and pedal."
I sent wide eyes to her, "WHAT?! Why me?" There's no way planned to pedal all of them the pond! Maybe if it was just Kitty...
Oh perfect, at this rate I'll end up like Emma earlier in the race.
"You're athletic aren't you?" She raised an eyebrow, thinking I was capable to drive them all (even the kid) to our destination.
"Yeah, but I'm not Greg LeMond." I deadpanned to her. "There's no way you're gonna make me pedal all you."
A/N: Wait for it...
"I can't believe I'm pedaling everyone to the pond." I grunted, while pushing myself and a ticked off expression to Emma.
"I can't believe you didn't she would make you." Sky remarked, with an eyebrow raised. The other end of the bargain was that if I didn't, Emma would split the alliance up.
Sneaky little ninja, ain't she?
"Why don't you try to motivate him?" I heard Kitty whisper to her sister. Knowing her, she has a complete different definition of 'motivation'.
"Good idea. C'mon Zane!" She tried to motivate me, "Your grandmother could pedal faster than this!" See what'd I tell ya? We come from COMPLETELY different worlds. It's amazing how we're friends and still in alliance right now...
Kitty sent her an expression that said 'really?', while I glared at her saying, "No kidding! My grandmother was an Olympic Biker Champion." True story. I found out she won 4 gold medals from '59-62' Tour de France events. You'd think the endurance bloodline would pass down to me.
Needless to say when we arrived to the pond, it didn't.
"I survived!" I cheered weakly, placing my arms up... then fell down the ground, "Ow." Kitty rushed to aid before Sky could even blink.
"You okay?" She asked, concerned. Have to admit, it's like she my nurse. My loving, caring, beautiful...
That's it. When I'm done today, I'm telling Sky to slap me when she gets the chance.
"Perfect, now that you're here." I groaned. My cousin smirked at me. "I-I was talking about you Sky!" I laughed nervously, trying to fight off a blush on my face.
My cousin only rolled her eyes in response, smile still on her face. "Yeah, sure you were."
Emma ignored us and ran to the Don Box. "Okay. That was further than I thought, but you did great and we beat the Surfer dudes here and-"
"Kitty! Emma! Sky! Zane! Over here!" Geoff called, him and Brody waving to us.
"Hey!" His partner said to over us.
(Confessional: Docks)
Zane: *Glaring at Emma who's sulking in shame* Next time we pedal, I'm gonna make sure you do it, but with ANVILS IN THE SEATS!
"It's fine. We'll pull out ahead during the challenge." Emma recovered while taking a tip from the Don Box.
I received another piece of paper, reading it clearly, "Yeah, if we weren't all working together as a 'superteam' to catch six catfish. Which we will."
"Dudes, we get to work together as a superteam!" Brody exclaimed. He gave Emma a friendly hug. I wonder if Noah watching this right now? And if he is, what would he be thinking? Probably about killing Brody in the most painful and brutal way possible? Yeah, that'd probably be it.
I smiled at Geoff as we fistbumped each other, "Been a while, hasn't it?"
"Yeah, bro." He returned it.
Emma groaned in response, "Ugh, great. Who else is part of super 'superteam'?"
Sky pointed to the Best Friends, already in the boat, "Them."
"Over here teammates!" Carrie called over cheerfully.
Kitty, Sky, and I waved back to them with our own smiles, "Hey, Carrie!" I called to them with equal optimism... until I noticed Devin looking to the other way, "Devin, we're over here."
"Huh? Oh, sorry!" He then fell into the water, leaving Carrie shocked.
Emma only groaned again, "Let's hope the first superteam is really messing up."
I smirked as they were still in the waters trying to getting their first catfish, "Heh, heh. It looks like struggling to even get their first catfish."
"JACQ! Get in here and NOODLE SOME FISH ALREADY!" Josee commanded him while he was in the canoe holding gloves, "For the love of gold, IT'S JUST FISH."
He put on his sparkling gloves and refused, "Never!"
"Hey, Ice Phonies!" I called/taunted to them. They turned their attention to me, "Having a hard time? I would be too if I had a cold and slimy mustached creature... and had catch fish with my fingers."
"Hey!" Jacques stood up offended.
I corrected him, "I wasn't talking to you, I talking to Josee." She glared at me with her teeth clenched and looked as if she was going to tear off a piece of canoe and throw it at me, which she almost did by the way. She used a large rock to throw and I only moved my head slightly to dodge the projectile, before it ricocheted off the Don Box and hit her back.
Don't ya just love this show?
So while the girls were talking to each other in the center and Surfers in the back, I sailed up front with Devin in order to give us a clear view. Turns out the pepper challenge has messed up his vision, so if we by any chance bump into a waterfall that could be straight ahead, I'd rather not fall down and almost die.
"...And so after all that, I realized I finally love Carrie and I'm trying to impress her so I can win her heart. Also, I think she may know my eyes are messed up since the challenge in Mexico, so can you keep it secret?" Devin went over of how he finally loved his best friend after he got over his breakup with Shelly, and whispered the last part to me. The story actually seemed to going along with the flow, and was actually pretty good. Can't imagine what Shelly's doing right now. I have a feeling we'd be seeing her soon.
"Uh... sure thing." I wasn't too sure on the last part, since Carrie, assuming she's smart, knows her friend's already a little blind, "You shouldn't have too much of a problem winning her heart right now. She's gotta notice how awesome you've been acting lately... and caught us a bucket of chum to attract the catfish. You should tell her that and your feelings."
Devin smiled, "Good idea. Hey, Carrie! I found a bucket of chum to attract the fish!" Unknowingly, we bumped into a rock which caused the bucket to slipped out of his hands and land right on top of Carrie's head, which made her frown.
I presented wide-eyes at the scene and scratched my head in response, "Oops... heh... you might wanna tell her your feelings later."
Emma called us over to announce her plan, "Okay, superteam. There's probably some fish, right underneath us. So Kitty, Geoff, and Zane, you cannonball of the stern to scare the fish toward Carrie, Sky, and I at the bow and we'll do the noodling to catch them."
"Did you say..." Geoff began.
"CANNONBALL!" The three of us exclaimed, jumping into the water. We all laughed... until Kitty splashed water into my face. I looked at her while she giggled. I pushed her down into the water and chuckled... until I was pulled down into the pond. Kitty and I resurfaced and glared at each other before we both laughed at each other and our little pond fight.
But anyway, we caught fish and we're making great progress, "Nice! Only two more to go guys!" Emma exclaimed. Kitty and I high-fived each other.
Soon enough, Carrie got the last fish in, "That's six! We're done! I'll grab the judge." She swam... er... walked off to him.
Sky looked around for a bit, "Hey, has anyone seen Devin?"
"OVER HERE! I got one! I got one!" We all turned to see Devin pulling something big underwater in, "Woo-hoo-hoo! Oh boy, do I have one!"
I swam over to him and checked underwater. I widened my eyes as I saw a crocodile, and resurfaced quickly, "Yeah-yeah-yeah, it's a big one. Let'sjusttalkoverhereforasec'kay?" I said in hurry pushing him away from the others.
Devin (along with everyone else who was there) was confused taking the creature with him, "H-hey, where are we going? The stern's that way!"
"Yeah, I know that's why I'm pushing us AWAY from our work." I answered back, making sure we were a safe distance from the competition, "Dude, do you even know what you have in hands right now?"
"Um... a big catfish?" Devin tried.
I imitated a buzzer, "Eh! Try again. And here's a hint: it's a big, green-scaled reptile that eats catfish for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. A.K.A..." I brought the creature up so he could more clearly, "A crocodile!"
He gasped, "No way! I thought it was a catfish." He thought a crocodile was a catfish? That's just sad.
I raised an eyebrow at him, "Since when do crocodiles and catfish ever look the same? Your vision must be more messed up than I realized." Devin's SEVERELY allergic to peppers, like I probably said before. The pepper juice must've melted his eyes.
"Well, that's what I heard from MacArthur and Josee who were passing by me and-"
I narrowed my eyes instantly cut Devin off swiftly and said in a dark voice, "MacArthur and Josee." I looked over to see those two snickering to each other as they went back to their superteam. "That sneaky little ice-witch! And MacArthur, that wannabe hall monitor! I never expected her to..." I stopped and put a finger on my chin and thought about it. Come to think of it, her attitude in the competition says otherwise. "Actually, yeah. I kinda expected this behavior from her."
"So... what do we do now?" Devin asked.
I gave a mischievous grin, "Easy. We're gonna use their own bait against them." 'Cause why be subtle anyway to a pair of new Heathers? Okay a pure blooded Heather and half-blood.
He gasped in shock, thinking I wouldn't go there which I would, "You mean..." I nodded my head in confirmation. "But we shouldn't."
I frowned in response, "Hey, they were the ones who tried to sabotage us first. We're technically just leveling the playing field. Besides, you wouldn't wanna disappoint Carrie by telling her you accidentally threw a crocodile in our stern while it ate all our fish would you?"
He looked down into the water, "Well, no... it just feels so wrong... yet so good at the same time." Devin smiled a devious one as he rubbed his hands together.
"I know right?" I told him, "But only stuff like this for defense and good deeds only. Not like the other villains I've encountered before. You'd start to get a bad reputation quick, and the show turns against ya in the end. Believe me, I've seen with my own eyes it MANY times."
"So how do we get this crocodile to their boat without getting detected anyway?" He questioned.
"Like this." I wiggled my fingers underwater and caught a catfish easily. Thank goodness I had gloves on. I overheard Emma and Carrie saying it felt weird that it was on their arms. "Holy cow! It feels like some old, giant baby trying to suck the life essence out of my entire arm if that's possible!"
Confessional: River
Zane: *Sitting on a rock* Yeah, try not to imagine that...
(Author: Oh, NOW you tell me!)
I threw the catfish over to the other superteam's boat and the crocodile gave chase to it.
We both laughed as the crocodile began to make its way to their stern, "Man, that is so rad! Think I should tell Carrie about this?" Devin asked as we swam back.
"Let's not. I mean she might be disappointed if we sabotaged a sabotage... well, she at least might not completely understand." I explained to him.
To be honest, I don't really know Carrie as much as Devin. Only thing we do have in common: we both hate Shelly; at least we're just rivals with her. You'd think we would've bump into each other at some point or there be at least some mention of our names. I'm surprised I didn't have a past with these two.
"But wait, what about the fish I was gonna catch for her?" Devin asked. He then widened his eyes and brought his arm up and screamed. "AAH! It really does feel like some old, giant baby sucking the life essence out of your arm!"
Confessional: River
Zane: *Sitting on the rock again* Again, try not picture that...
(Author: Again... you warned me a bit late.)
We arrived back at our stern just as the judge came by and approved our fish count.
"Hey, guys! How's it going?" Devin asked as soon as we arrived, seeing they all had tips for our team.
"Good so far." Sky answered, "Where've you guys been?"
"Well, we thought there was something *Wink* fishy going on. So we turned into *Wink* investigators to find out was going and used *Wink* razor sharp wit to figure out was going on." I couldn't help but chuckle at my puns, "Heh, heh, get it?"
*Cricket Noises*
I frowned at first then glared at Kitty, who had her phone out (which was somehow working), smirking at me... and she was still in the water. And yes, everyone else was laughing. "How is your phone still working?"
"Story magic." Kitty answered.
I gave her a face of bewilderment, "What the...? Did you...? I heard... You..." Hold on a sec, did she just break the fourth wall?! Hm, I guess we were meant to be. I was able to recompose myself and finished, "You know what? Let's just get this part of the race over with and we'll have a talk about this later on."
"Get lost and found... underground...?" Brody read from his tip.
"For this All-In, Teams must take taxis to war time tunnels where a Don Box is secretly located underground giving directions to the chill zone. Warning: these tunnels are filled with traps, dead ends, and more than a few spiders." Sky finished the rest of the message.
We sailed away to the next challenge cheering, while I taunted to the other superteam. Actually just two people, "So long Josee! And I guess you too MacArthur... your 50-50 in my books."
"AAH! The branded catfish!" Jacques screamed in excitement. " I see it someone come up and-" He was cut short when the fish bit... or sucked his hands at least. "AAH! AAH! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!" He smacked the fish and threw it into the air... until the crocodile from earlier jumps, eats the fish, and swam away.
"Darn it, Jacq!" Josee glared at him.
"Where did that crocodile even come from?!" MacArthur screamed in anger. I cleared my throat at them, while waving tauntingly.
Josee's eye twitched right before-
"BLACKWOOD!"
Yeah, that. I bet the whole country heard that.
Anyway, we all were taken to the caves (this time by the kids who were supposed to pedaling us), and stop by the caves and looked inside.
"Uh, looks a little creepy." Geoff commented. Did he literally forget he's a Total Drama Veteran like me?
"Compared to the previous season on this show, it's actually pretty normal." I answered.
"Let's just get this over with quick." Kitty said as we all ran inside, only to be met with three different paths.
"Uh-oh." Sky released. Well, isn't this a great?
"Well... good luck everyone." Carrie replied uneasily.
"Whoa, wait. What's our superteam plan?" Brody stopped us before we could do anything or go anywhere.
"What? But we're not-"
Emma cut Devin off, "Uh, now that the fishing challenge is over, we kinda have to-"
"Split up and whoever finds the Don Box makes the signal! Like... Ca-Caw! Ca-Caw!" Geoff finished, hopping toward the center path (and not really getting the point, but actually helped in the end).
"Nice thinkin' bro! Go Superteam!" Brody exclaimed, following him.
"You have to admit that-"
"C'mon!" Emma said, interrupting Sky. She only sighed before we followed her and Kitty down the same tunnel.
And after a scare by a poke on the shoulder, we were walking down a tunnel when a rumbling occurred over us.
"That's gotta be a sign, right?" Kitty questioned us. "That it's still wrong to let those nice Surfer dudes to know we're still a superteam?"
"Those 'nice' surfer dudes wanna win the million as much as we do." Emma argued.
"They seem a little more prone on making friends and having a good time than winning the million." Sky countered.
"She's not wrong ya know." I supported. "I've known Geoff for a while. I'm pretty sure betraying is the LAST thing that comes to his mind." True story. In the previous seasons, he's play pretty fair so far. I'm pretty sure he doesn't know what betrayal even means.
"Still, if they don't get that then-" Emma began to walk away, but fell down a trap on the ground. The only thing that kept her from getting impaled from the spikes below was me and my split-second reaction timing as I held her up.
"GUYS! HELP! PULL ME UP!" Emma screamed in terror. I tried to pull her up, but I didn't really have any upper body strength.
(Author: *Teasingly* That and her hips are too big. Emma: *Blushes* Hey! I'm sensitive about my weight!)
"Little help here guys?" I strained trying to pull Emma up before she was finally fully lifted up, and hugged by Brody who somehow appeared out of nowhere with Geoff...
"Thankyouthankyouthankyou!" Emma thanked, not knowing it was him.
"Not problem, dude! Anything for the superteam!" He replied with a smile.
"You're right. Superteam to the end." She looked at the wall behind us. "Did you guys just bust through that wall?" Sky and I turned around to see the wall with the shapes of Surfers. How did they even get through without making any sound?
"Sh-ya! How'd you guess?"
Sky raised an eyebrow at him, "Uh... there's vaguely familiar shapes of you guys busting from the other side of the cave?"
"CA-CAW! CA-CAW!" We widened our eyes, knowing that familiar sound and voice.
"That's Devin!" Sky exclaimed.
Geoff gasped in realization, "The signal. They found the Don Box!"
I smiled along with everyone else, "Alright, let's go!" We ran to the Don Box and met up with the Best Friends and took our tips from the Don Box.
"Bam! It's a map to the Chill Zone. Let's do this Superteam!" Geoff exclaimed. All of us piled out the cave and went straight to the chill zone.
"Sisters, you're today's winners." Don announced. They cheered as we came up to the carpet, "Acrobats: 2nd place." Sky and I high-fived each other. "Best Friends: 3rd, Surfers: 4th." Both teams cheered hugged each other. No, I'm serious even the Surfers hugged each other.
(Dual Confessional: Temple)
Brody: *Smiles* Yeah! We came in top 4!
Geoff: *Smiles also* Yeah we did! This Superteam's gonna make it to the finals.
Brody: But dude, who's gonna go to the finals with us?
Geoff: Doesn't really matter. As long as one of us wins, we get a cut of million. *Turns to the Acrobats, Sisters, and Best Friends* Right guys?
Zane: *Approves* Yeah!
Everyone else: *Looks to each other* Uhh... *Runs away, leaving Zane behind before he realized what happened*
Zane: *Death glare* WHAT?! You cheapskates get back here! *Runs after them*
Not even a few minutes into chasing my friends and crush, I bumped into MacArthur while she was trying to burn a glare into my soul as I fell on the ground.
"Excuse me MacArthur. I'm trying to chase down my-"
"You! YOU!" She cut me off and picked me up by my front collar. Might I say she's scary up close. "You sabotaged my superteam's sabotage!" She looked very livid and ready to tear me apart right then and there...
.
.
...until she calmed down and returned a smile toward me, "You're a good player." MacArthur dropped me and walked back over to the chill zone.
Sanders came over with a sympathetic expression and helped me up, "Uh... sorry about MacArthur. She's-"
"A crazy, competitive cadets with a hair trigger? Yup, we all know her too well." I finished for her.
"...Not how I would've put it, but okay."
While I chasing down my friends again, I overheard the Daters came in last place and now facing elimination.
"It was the competition that broke us up." Stephanie admitted.
"Exactly. If we went someplace if there was no stress, hardship, or challenges, I think we'd be happy." Ryan agreed.
"And together forever!" She hugged her boyfriend. Aw, it's so adorable I think I'm gonna puke.
Just kidding, at least they're not making out. *Stephanie and Ryan start making out before they leave off into the sunset*
Uh... I spoke too soon.
A/N: And that's another chapter for the books. After learning from the review of a fellow reader I have decided to create a poll after this because... I... didn't know you could create polls on this site.
Emma: Mostly because your head's too small.
SHUT UP EMMA! I KNOW WHAT'S BEST!
Ahem, anyway... I'll create the poll on where I should start on the prequel of this story which hopefully shouldn't take very long. Please Read and Review.
