I think it's time for a chapter that shows our holiday spirits and gets us ready for the most wonderful time of the year.
Enjoy!

Chris' recap: "Last time on Total Drama Everything, we brought from the original season a boring, yet memorable, favorite known as the Awakeathon. And it included knocking out those who were deemed hard to sleep. Sam and Snake bonded, Stan failed at his pitch again, and not only did Deadpool fall asleep first, but his annoyance sent the Cute Koalas to the bonfire. The guy would've been a goner. However, Nom Nom and his alliance caused Goku to go on an eating frenzy against Princess Bubblegum. A few more strings pulled-Nom Nom's trickery included-and poor Bubblegum sends herself right off the island. 3 down, 21 to go. Will the Merc with A Mouth learn to keep that mouth shut? And what festive holiday horrors do we have for everyone this week? Let's find out right here. On Total! Drama! Everything!"
*theme song*
Things were not going well for Goku at all. It was three days after Bubblegum's departure, and the Saiyan was still down in the dumps.
"It was all my fault she left," he said, while Snake, Double D, and Mega Man were trying to console him. All four were in the Koala cabin boy side. "I should've kept my hunger in check."
"Admittedly," explained Double D, "the blame isn't entirely on you. P.B. said Nom Nom had told her it would be best to leave. That action is questionable in itself."
A second later, Nom Nom walked into the cabin. "Hello losers. Anything interesting?" Then he thought for a moment. "Wait, you guys wouldn't know, would you?"
Snake tried to charge at him with a punch, but was restrained by Mega Man's black hole.
"Sorry Snake," Mega Man told the spy, "but now's not the time for this. Besides, we don't want to hurt someone on our own team right now."
"Ugh," Snake said, "fine." And Mega Man turned off the black hole, freeing Snake
Goku looked right at Nom Nom. "What exactly did you say to her? You know you have as much to blame as I."
Nom Nom just laughed at him. "Oh don't put the burden on me," he told Goku, "it was your mistake that sent her away. I was just giving her the idea for her own safety." And he walked right out of the cabin, still laughing. As he walked, he didn't notice Double D looking at him suspiciously.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"I actually find these events to be rather coincidental, and I have my own thoughts on the situation," said Double D.
"Goku is the kind of guy who keeps his promise no matter what. And he goes into a candy rage just like that? Thing is, Toph told me she saw Mandy walk towards Goku right before it happened. And we've all seen her hang out with Deadpool and Nom Nom often. Then Nom Nom tells Princess Bubblegum to quit and the one who cost us the challenge miraculously stays?"
"Something's not right. I'm positive of it."
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"These people know I said something to that candy lady," said Nom Nom, "but I think we covered our tracks well enough."
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Meanwhile, some of the Green Ogres were sitting together in the mess hall, also curious about what happened.
"Bubblegum was one of the smarter competitors here," said Connie, "so how was she able to get bamboozled like that?"
"Yes, she's smart," Zelda replied, "but people who feel like they're in danger can lose their common sense and do a lot of things that really cause more harm than good."
The others shrugged at that comment. It sort of made sense.
"While we're worried about why exactly the candy girl left," Stan told his team, "I can explain some stuff about my Mystery Shack. It is located in Gravity Falls, Oregon, one of the most amazing towns on earth. You will never be bored while you're there."
Dante was just about filled with frustration at that point. "For the last time, we don't care about that little tourist trap you have in the middle of nowhere. So shut up, old man!"
"Calm down, man," Yusei told him, "there are other things to worry about." And Dante calmed down.
Shrek arrived in the mess hall right after that. "We have to go to the lake. Chris said there's another challenge. And he's dressed like Santa for some reason."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Sure enough, what everyone saw when they arrived at the dock was Chris dressed in a fatsuit and a Santa Claus outfit, beard and all. Next to him was Chef Hatchet, dressed as Rudolph, with a red lightbulb as the nose.
"Nice look, McLean," Dante said sarcastically to Chris, who gave a little death stare in response.
"As you all may know," Chris announced, "it's that time of year again. That time is known as the holiday season. It's a time for presents, cookies, and not caring about family, or any of the other real reasons we celebrate Christmas. And the holidays are the formation of today's challenge, so here's how it's going down.
"Your first part of the challenge is over at that pile of snow." He points to a huge heap of snow that could easily cover all of Mount Everest.
"Inside that huge pile of ice and snow, is a special challenge is to dig through the pile until it is found. Whoever finds this treasure will earn their team an advantage in the next part. Everyone understand?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Ok then, note that you can't use any abilities that could melt the snow. Other than that, anything goes. Start digging."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"There goes my Wind Tunnel,"said Sam.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"While everyone's digging," said Stan, "I can try and let people know more about my Mystery Shack.
"Hey Dipper and Mabel, I'm about to make us rich and famous."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Both teams have started digging through the snow, with both captains having plans to get through.
"Whoever has anything blade-related," said Nom Nom to the Koalas, "use your blades to cut through-while trying to not cut any of us-and everyone else,use your imagination."
Deadpool used his katana swords while Mega Man used his ceratanium (I think that's how to spell it) disks to cut through the snow, and everyone else was either digging manually or using other means, like Goku's punching. The Ogres saw this and decided to copy the same strategy.
"I need Connie and Dante on slicin' duty," Shrek stated, "while everyone else either use abilities, or dig with these." He threw to the team several snow shovels.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"He used the Magic Satchel to get those," said Deadpool, "it allows you to pull stuff out of either nowhere or small purses.
"And the author gave Shrek one? Oh well, I love her too much to care.
"I have one too, by the way. Check this out."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
There was now a huge bear in the confessional, and he appeared to be squashing Deadpool, who was saying some muffled language.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Stan, who was currently struggling with his shovel, walked over to the Koala side of the ice pile and straight to Rarity.
"How would you like to be the first unicorn to visit the Mystery Shack after the season's over?" he asked her.
Rarity thought about this offer before answering, "No thank you."
That left the old man speechless. "Why not?"
"Because all the scary place can be is a tourist trap," the unicorn replied, "and it's not exactly pretty-looking either, judging by the photos you always show everyone."
"I'll pay you to look at more photos," Stan told her, "what do you say?"
And that's how Stan went back to his side of the snow heap covered in glitter, diamonds, and any other sparkly thing imaginable. His entire team (except Mandy, of course) laughed at the spectacle.
"Cocococococococo?" Coco asked him.
"Yes," Stan replied, "it was Rarity and her horn." The Ogres just kept laughing.
Zelda couldn't help but feel justified. "That's what you get when you advertise that shack," she told Stan.
Suddenly, everyone heard a sound coming from the Ogres side. "I found it! I found it!" The sound came from Connie, who had found the treasure. Chris looked at it and nodded his head. "She found it," he announced, and the Ogres cheered.
"Now the Green Ogres get an advantage in the next challenge. It's time for a snowball fight!"
Both teams took to the announcement just like the last part: with utter confusion in some cases, and a face of glee in others.
"You will continue to use the snow for this challenge," Chris told everyone, "so it's a good thing you didn't melt any of it. All you have to do is have an all-out snowball war. You are allowed to build forts, if necessary. If you're hit with a snowball,you're out. The last person standing wins invincibility for their team. And as for the Ogres' advantage, bring them in, Chef."
Chef walked over to the Ogres and threw them a huge pile of gloves, great for keeping hands warm while handling snow. The Koalas saw their opponents put the gloves on, and Nom Nom looked about ready to blow up in anger.
"Why didn't you give those to us all when we were digging? he asked the host.
"Because I love torturing you guys," Chris replied.
"Oh, and one more thing. Come on in, special target."
Chef went and brought back a familiar-looking face, with brown hair, a sweater, jeans, sneakers, and the look that showed he didn't want to be here.
The person looked around at the others. "I can't believe I have to do this."
"Is that Cody?"Julie asked Chris.
Chris nodded his head. "We're paying Cody $5,000 to be a special hits him with a snowball gets automatic invincibility if your team loses. He can only be hit once, though. That means you had better think about who you don't want to get that prize. So get ready to have fun. Fun for me, anyway."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"This is no way to treat the Cutest Bear on The Internet," Nom Nom exclaimed, "and yes, that's a real title."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"At least I'm away from Sierra," said Cody.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"And…...start throwing!"
Everyone started gathering up some snow, ready to throw at the opposite team. In no time flat, the snowballs were already flying, and both teams were dodging to the best of their abilities. Snake and Sam were backing each other up, while Goku was using Instant Transmission to keep from getting hit, and Dante was telepathically sending the snow away from him.
Finally, someone got hit.
"I don't want to hurt anyone with this adorably cold ice," said Rarity, and she was hit with an attack from Mandy.
"I hate all things adorable," Mandy told Rarity, "remember that, little pony."
After 10 minutes, Coco, who didn't have the hand necessary, was taken out by Deadpool, who just laughed right after that.
"Did you see me nail the plane/bird/palm tree?" he chuckled to Nom Nom, who rolled his eyes before throwing a snowball and missing Shrek.
Lammy saw Deadpool hitting Coco, and walked over to him.
"Hey, that was my friend," she told him, "you could've hit anyone besides her!"
Nom Nom walked over to the lamb. "What are you going to do about it?"
Well, Lammy couldn't think of anything to say to him. Shyness had overcome her, and she was silent, having no idea what to do.j
Nom Nom smirked. "That's what I thought. For an aspiring guitarist, you really have no confidence. Pathetic. And that kind of fear is not good for a rock star, right? Just pathetic."
Unfortunately for Nom Nom, Yusei had heard those words and nailed the gray koala bear with a snowball.
"Leave her alone," Yusei yelled to Nom Nom, "she's not pathetic!"
Lammy just stood there, shocked that someone from the other team had defended her like that. She barely even noticed when she herself was hit by Connie.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"So the duelist is one of the nice guys," said Dante, "I wonder if this kindness will bring him enemies.
"I loved seeing him nail Nom Nom in the head, though."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Lammy was staring at the camera, still surprised. "...wow…."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Superman was dodging left and right, while Shrek throws and hits Mega Man. Things were not looking good for the Koalas due to the Ogres and their gloves.
"Any trouble on your end?" Shrek asked Superman.
"As long as I focus, I'm good," Superman replied.
The words were barely out of his mouth when a Koala snowball suddenly hit him on the back of the head.
"What the-? How did that-?"
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"That was for Death Battle!" shouted Goku.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Double D, who had terrible throwing skills, managed to take out Yusei after he got miraculously close enough, but was immediately knocked out by Zelda's snowball. That was soon followed by Toph getting Zelda out in turn, and Deadpool and Dante both hitting each other and getting out as well.
Cody hadn't been hit yet, at this point, and was waiting. Finally, Julie hit her target, won the invincibility, and knocked Cody out cold. "Sorry," she told him apologetically.
Sam and Snake were still doing well, with Sam finally taking out Shrek. However, she had thrown so hard she lost her footing in the snow and fell down. And Mandy just so happened to see it and got a snowball ready while Sam was vulnerable.
"Oh, this is my kind of game," she said as she threw it in Sam's direction, while all Sam could do was brace herself.
The snowball never hit her.
After seconds of confusion, Sam looked around until she saw Snake in front of her. She was about to say something when Snake turned around, and Sam saw a huge glob of snow on his face. He had taken the blow for her.
"Snake, you're out," Chris announced, "but nice job."
Sam threw a snowball at Mandy, knocking her out of the challenge. Then she went to check on Snake, who had received a black eye when the snow hit his eye.
"Hey Snake," she said to him, "are you ok?"
"I've suffered worse," Snake said in response, "this shiner won't stop me. I'll call it a battle scar. And I still have my teeth."
He gave a little grin at her to show the teeth, and Sam laughed.
"What you did was pretty cool," she told him, "no doubt about it."
That caused Snake to grin again, this time less comically. "It was nothing."
Chris came behind Sam at that moment. "Hey Sam, you're still in the challenge. So quit talking with Lover Boy and get over there."
Sam nodded and went back to the snowball frenzy.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Ok, I admit it," said Sam, "it was really sweet of him to protect me like that.
"Now I have to worry about how Mandy took it."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Both those spies are going down," said Mandy, clearly angry.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
The snowball battle was as hectic as ever. Both teams had three left: Sam, Toph (who survived because the snow grew dirty during the digging earlier, allowing her to still sense some vibrations), and Maya for the Koalas; and Stan, Connie, and Julie for the Ogres. All six were continuing to dodge left and right, until Maya was hit by Julie.
"Hey while we're here, we can talk about you all about the amazing features of my Mystery Shack," Stan announced, "and you should all come when the show's over."
"Yeah, that's it," proclaimed Julie, and she started a massive snow barrage on Stan. It became so entertaining that everyone, even those already out, joined in.
Within minutes, it became so wild that it was hard to tell where everyone was. No sooner did one person get spotted at one point than that same person showing at another point. There was only one problem: by the time everyone tired out, every single person there (even Chris, Chef, and Cody) was covered in snow.
"So who won?"queried Cody.
Chris was trying to take in the pandemonium. "I'll let Chef decide. Chef?"
Chef looked at both teams, who were anxious for an answer as to who had won.
"I liked the agent dude protecting the agent lady. I'll give it to the Cute Koalas."
Every single Koala cheered at the news. Mega Man and Deadpool fist bumped, Goku and Maya high fived, and Nom Nom gave a little nod in satisfaction.
"There you have it," said Chris, "Ogres, pick who you want out of this game for good. Just remember that Julie has invincibility for hitting the special target."
Stan wasn't bothered at going to the bonfire. "At least I managed to say more about my Mystery Shack. I even wrote a song about it. Who wants to hear it?"
However, every single Ogre was just about tired of his words.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
That night, the Green Ogres were sitting at the bonfire. There were no fears of the area, though. This time, they were used to it.
"In this challenge of snowy holiday fun, the Koalas proved to be the better team. And now it's time to see who these delicious marshmallows go to, and who takes the cannon taxi to Loserville. When I call your name, come and claim your marshmallow.
"Julie."
"Dante."
"Yusei."
"Mandy."
"Shrek."
"Zelda."
"Superman."
"And Connie."
The last two were Coco and Stan, who were both trying to keep calm.
"One final marshmallow, and one of you is going without it. Coco, you were the first one out for the team. And Stan, you're just plain annoying! The Mystery Shack doesn't need the words you say about it. The final marshmallow goes to….."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...Coco."
Coco smiled at the news as she picked up the marshmallow with her mouth.
Stan didn't look as surprised as he could`ve been. "I figured I couldn't win you all over with my words. At least you will all visit the Shack, right?"
Then everyone threw all of their marshmallows at him.
"For the last time," exclaimed Dante, "shut up!"
Within minutes, Stan was in the cannon, only with a guest this time.
"Do I really have to be shot out of a cannon?" asked Cody, "This is kinda scary. Oh I wish Gwen were here!"
Chris just laughed. "I love my job." And he pushed the button and sent the two flying.
Later that night….
"So that's what Christmas is to Chris," said Lammy, who was looking at the stars, "a perfect opportunity to exploit people."
And she let out a curious sigh, which got Coco's attention.
"Cocococococococo? she asked Lammy.
"If really want to know what I've been thinking about, I just got perfectly described by Nom Nom. I didn't have my guitar out there, and I'm usually nothing without it. I just stood there and let Nom Nom call me pathetic."
Coco thought about that statement for a second before giving her response. "Cococococo."
"I have nothing to worry about? Tell that to Nom Nom. And there's another thing I'm wondering. Why did Yusei stick up for me even though we're on different teams? Everything that happened today just confuses everyone, especially me."
"Cocococococo?"
"Me? A crush? I just want to win the money and buy a tour bus. Besides, what guy would want to hang with me?"
(Just to let you know, since I let Snake look at his earliest in the franchise,and I clarified that for him and Sam, the same should be for Yusei. After the group split at the end of Yu-gi-oh 5D's, it was never confirmed that Yusei would get together with Akiza, making Yusei a free man.)
"Cocococococococococo."
"I don't think breaking Nom Nom's legs will help."
"Cocococococococo."
"I'm glad to know that. Thanks Coco."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Nom Nom and his alliance were sitting together at the Dock, discussing the events of the challenge. Deadpool was having a blast reminiscing on everything that had happened.
"The part I loved the most was when we were all hurling snowballs at Stan, and I do believe I hit his pointer finger at on point. It was so awesome, and-"
He was cut off by Mandy, who punched his head so hard, it spun. Deadpool immediately twisted it back into place.
"I do believe we have a new enemy in the form of that duelist," Nom Nom told his alliance members, "and he will fall just like Bubblegum did."
Deadpool looked at him with curiosity and giggled. "You must've taken him hitting you with snow and defending Lammy pretty hard, huh?"
That got him another punch in the head. Mandy was clearly agitated, but it wasn't toward Deadpool or Yusei.
"Mandy," asked Nom Nom, "what's up with you?"
Mandy just looked at him , telling him to shut his mouth. "I'm going to get my revenge on the both of them."
"You're just jealous because Snake did a selfless act and protected-oh." Deadpool understood at that point.
Both he and Nom Nom looked at Mandy, who had a look of determination and purest malice.
"You and I now have a personal vendetta on certain people, Nom Nom. You want the duelist out, and it will happen. As for me, I want to personally see to it that the secret agent lovebirds are off this island."
All three set their resolve. They started with Bubblegum, and they weren't going to stop.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
I think this was a wonderful way to celebrate the holidays, and I really hope you enjoyed it.
Poor Stan. Hopefully, him just being on the show will give the Mystery Shack the publicity it deserves.
Lammy is caught in a web of both her shyness and a possible crush on Yusei. Snake surprises Sam, Nom Nom has a new mission. So does Mandy.
Now all we have to do is dig for presents and stuff ourselves with turkey and ham while we read amazing stories. Whatever you do, just have fun.
Remember to review and bring in challenge ideas, while I try and get a restraining order on Deadpool.
See you next time! Happy Holidays from TheMasterKat!
