I'm back with another thrilling installment of my story.
Check it out!

Chris' recap: "Last time on Total Drama Everything, the two teams were temporarily disbanded to make way for a tag team riddle race. Fun times. The spies bonded further, and Yusei and Lammy felt that familiar spark. Though victory went to Sam and Snake, the star of the show was Julie, who's humiliating gloves became an asset. Speaking of Julie, she gained Deadpool's respect (and maybe actual friendship) after she saved him from the fierceness of Fang the shark. Oh yeah, Fang came back, only to get his butt kicked. Twice. In the end, Zelda was deemed the bigger threat over and her partner Nom Nom, sending her back to Hyrule. With the teams back to normal, which will prevail today? Find out now! On Total! Drama! Everything!"
*theme song*
It was two days after Zelda's elimination. Not surprisingly, Nom Nom and his alliance members were talking strategy at the dock. However, there was one difference in the usual moods of the three. Or at least one of them. In contrast to his usually creepy, cheery, and happy nature, Deadpool seemed more…
"Subdued," Nom Nom said to him. "You're acting more subdued than usual."
Deadpool tried to brush off that comment. "It's nothing. Hey, do you think burritos are great with chocolate syrup?" Nom Nom saw he was trying to change the subject.
Mandy was also curious. "There must be something up," she stated. "Ever since the riddle challenge, you've been acting a lot more...how should I say this….normal. And that's certainly not normal for you, Deadpool. So spit it out."
All she got in response was, "So you think I can't take one thing seriously? I can be subdued when I want to." Then he sprang up. "Burritos WOULD go great with chocolate syrup!" That got a laugh out of Nom Nom and an eye-rolling out of Mandy.
"Is everything at least going to plan?" Nom Nom asked him when he composed himself. Deadpool nodded. "It's still going smoothly."
"I would bet that," Nom Nom added, "considering Julie risked becoming shark food for you."
The mercenary froze up at those words, but was able to speak. "And?"
However, Deadpool had an idea involving the subject. "You know, Julie and I have a lot in common," he told Nom Nom. "We're both skilled, and she's cool enough to still be on this island. I wouldn't mind it if our friendship stopped being so…..fake."
"I don't care much for friendship," Nom Nom said in response. "I have fame, money, and the Internet. What else do I need?"
Deadpool sighed. "I guess not."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Why did this happen to me?" Deadpool cried. "After what happened during the challenge with Fang and Julie, my mind hasn't given me a break. Part of me wants to stick with Nom Nom's plan, but the other part of me thinks about Julie; how she risked her life for me and everything. On top of that, I'm now feeling guilt. Guilt! Because I've been faking my friendship!
TheMasterKat, throw me a bone here. I need you, my one true love…...well, you and Shiklah."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Meanwhile, most of the Ogres (only Mandy, Yusei and Julie weren't there) were outside their cabin.
"This is just ridiculous," Superman said.
Everyone turned to him. "Cocococococo?" asked Coco.
"What's ridiculous?" Superman repeated. "I've seen each season of this show, and as bad as their challenges were, they've never had things this dangerous. Now we've already had to have a minecart fight, battle each other, and fight Fang."
Dante just shrugged. "He's right. Clearly Chris figured he didn't need the bare minimum of safety he had before, because there are people like Superman here."
"Doesn't Chris know that someone could eventually get hurt?" Superman continued. "Heck, even Deadpool could've died last time. He almost did, in fact?"
Shrek nodded. "I think we can all agree tha' this game has totally gone to the dogs."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
As for the other alliance…..
Outside the forest, Sam was telling the boys about a suggestion of hers.
"Think about it," she said. "Toph would make a great addition to the alliance. She's certainly one of the most trustworthy people I've met so far. And as helpless as she appears at first, she can hold her own."
Snake saw the benefits as well, but he was a little hesitant. "Are you sure?"
Sam nodded. "Absolutely."
"Then tell her to meet us right here tonight," Snake added. "We'll tell her what's going on, and work from there."
Then he turned to Yusei. "What's the update on Nom Nom's crew?"
"They've decided to take out a big threat from my team," Yusei replied. "They haven't decided who yet. And Deadpool's started to have second thoughts."
The spies were surprised. "Why?" they both said.
Yusei continued, "It may have something to do with the riddle challenge. What happened at the lake. It's all he's thought about lately."
He was about to say more when the intercom sounded.
"Competitors, meet at the dock in ten minutes," Chris called. "And be prepared to battle it out."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Chris was standing outside the mess hall when everyone arrived. And Chef was there driving a long speedboat.
"Everyone hop in," Chris told the group, and everyone did so.
They rode for thirty minutes, mostly not talking to each other. Finally, they all arrived at a familiar-looking island. It was complete with a dark forest scenery and a huge rock formation in the form of a skull (the new island wasn't too far from this place).
"Is place what I think it is?" Rarity asked Chris.
Chris got off the boat and confirmed Rarity's suspicions. "Welcome to Boney Island. You know this place as the creepy island from the original seasons. And it's where your next challenge will take place. Now will you all kindly look to your left?"
In the distance, there appeared to be two huge fortress-like structures. One fort was colored gray, and the other was green. Connecting the two forts was a long bridge of questionable structural soundness. And under the bridge and between the forts, there was just a really deep gorge.
Chef held up two wooden statuettes (one gray and one green) of Chris. They looked like the Gilded Chris from Season 2. "These are the key to the challenge," Chris explained. "Your main goal is to protect your token. Both teams will hide their respective tokens inside their fort. It's your team's job to retrieve the token from the opposing team. First team to bring their opponent's token to their fort wins the challenge.
"And feel free to protect your token however you wish. Just note that if you have some teammates guarding, you also must have some to actually retrieve the token. And all abilities are allowed. Everybody ready?"
Most people nodded, but Superman looked hesitant.
"Good," Chris continued. "You get ten minutes of prep time before you battle it out. Get to it."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"I can see plenty of things that may go wrong," said Superman.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
The Koalas decided to hide their token inside the topmost room of their fort. Nom Nom gave them all specific assignments.
"Here's how this should go down," he told his team. "I'll need Goku up here to guard the token. Toph and Sam, you will keep the Ogres from getting in here. I'll need Deadpool and Rarity to keep the Ogres away from the token in case they get in here. That leaves everyone else, including me, to infiltrate the Ogre fort."
As for the Green Ogres, they had hidden their token inside a basement.
"So who wants ta do what?" Shrek asked his team.
Julie stepped forward. "I'll try and retrieve the token."
Shrek nodded. "I'll guard from the hidin' spot. Superman?"
"Lookout duty," the superhero replied. (Yes, they had thought of lookout duty).
"Who wants ta guard from the bridge?"
Yusei nodded in assurance. "I'll guard," said Mandy.
"So tha' leaves Dante and Coco to guard from the inside," Shrek finished. "Everyone get to your stations."
Soon after, everyone had reached their respective stations. Goku and Shrek stood beside their treasures, Superman stood on the very top of the Ogre fort, Toph and Sam stood at one end of the bridge while Yusei and Mandy stood at another, Deadpool and Rarity positioned themselves in certain spots in the Koala fort while Dante and Coco did the same for their own fort, and everyone else got ready for infiltration. If only the Ogres had realized that one Koala infiltrator just so happened to be Snake.
"Is everyone ready?" Chris asked the entire group. The bridge guards nodded.
"Then game on!"
For a minute or two, nothing. Then Nom Nom turned to his fellow infiltrators and nodded. The four Koala members charged across the bridge. Immediately the Ogre guards got to work. Mandy grabbed her sword and charged at Lammy.
"Bring it on, lamb," Mandy told her opponent. Lammy backed away but didn't turn back. Then Mandy turned to Double D and sneered. "Come and get me, sockhead," she growled. Double D, miraculously, also didn't turn back.
Nom Nom sped across the bridge while his teammates were distracted. He was obviously hoping to be the one to find the token. His thoughts of that hopeful victory were interrupted, however, by a giant green-purple-black monster hurling a flaming punch at him. He barely dodged it and looked at his attacker in fury.
"Another Dynamite Crunch, Nitro Warrior," Yusei called. "Keep him away!"
Even though none of Yusei's monsters would've done any real damage, the surprise was enough to slow Nom Nom down. The Internet star scowled as he charged again. That got another Dynamite Crunch almost at his face.
Julie saw this as her chance and sped past the current chaos, wielding a tennis racket. Her first opposition was Toph, who smiled a knowing smile at her.
"Finally," Toph said, "this is going to be fun." She started taking chunks out of the bridge (it was stone) and hurling them at Julie, who deflected them with her racket. However, she decided to keep jumping so Toph would have trouble finding her. It worked, and Julie used the opportunity to get closer to the Koala fort. That's where she met Sam.
Sam got her Windtunnel Hairdryer. "Turn back now," she told Julie as she turned it on. While the force of the air kept her back, Julie was still able to get in (Sam was told by Snake to hold back on Julie because they knew of her friendship with Deadpool). Julie smiled as she ran into the fort.
Nom Nom looked back to see that an Ogre had gotten in. "You too are the worst guards ever!" he yelled at Sam and Toph. Not only that, but none of his teammates had made it to the Ogre fort yet.
Or had they?
"Wait," he asked, "where's Snake?"
That's when he realized what had happened. And by this point, Snake was already searching in the Ogre fort.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Why didn't I realize sooner?" Nom Nom asked.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Fort searches mean infiltration," said Snake. "Infiltration means stealth. That's up my alley."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Sam smiled at Snake's skills. Then, remembering something, she turned to Toph.
"Meet me outside the woods tonight," she said. Toph nodded.
Meanwhile…
Julie was trying to stay as quiet as she could while she walked through the halls of the Koala fort, trying to find the token. Suddenly, she heard a step behind her, and she knew she was being followed. Instinctively, she swung her tennis racket to the follower. What she got out of it was total surprise.
The racket had come to an inch of Deadpool's head. He had swung his arms in front of his face, ready to block the strike. Julie pulled the racket away. "Hello there," she said. Deadpool recovered from the shock and laughed.
"You're by far the only person who's tried to beat me with a tennis racket," he said. "But hey, good idea. You do know, though, that I can't let you near the token."
Julie nodded and got her racket ready. Then she swung it on the poor mercenary's face. This time, it met its mark. And it knocked Deadpool out cold.
"Sorry about that," Julie called as she ran off. "It's just the game!"
Deadpool groaned. "No problem."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"It could've been worse," Deadpool said. "And I'd rather take 1,000 rackets to the face than go through my current dilemma."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Nom Nom was still trying to get past Yusei's monsters. By this point, he was the one who had not yet managed to get in the Ogre fort. And his anger was already getting the best of him.
"You card-loving nerd," he seethed. "I'm an Internet celebrity. You're nothing compared to that!"
Yusei hardly even flinched at those words. "Well how does it feel to manipulate Princess Bubblegum like that?"
Nom Nom dodged another attack from Yusei's monster. Now he was angry.
Meanwhile….
Snake had on the camouflage feature on his suit. So far, he had managed to get past Coco unscathed. Finally, he spotted a path down into the basement. After going down, he smiled as he spotted a gray statuette shaped like Chris. He had found the token!
Then, in the distant rumbles of Nitro Warrior, Snake accidentally let out a loud gasp. That alerted him to Shrek's presence.
"Come on out, Snake," the fairy tale creature called out. Snake turned off his camo and sighed, "This is what I get for gasping. I should keep that in check."
Shrek seemed hesitant yet ready (however that works). "As ya know," he said to his opponent, "I can't let ya take the token by any means. And I must use any way necessary. So let's get this over with."
Snake got out his knife while Shrek grabbed a nearby chair. Both pointed their weapons at each other and tried to keep the other away. Snake did a roll when he dodged the first chair thrust.
At the Koala fort….
"Hey look!" Julie called to Goku. "A Dragonball!"
Goku took the bait and flew out the window. Julie grabbed the token and kissed it lightly. Now she only had to get this thing to her team. Wondering how the others were doing, she looked out the window for the view.
Nom Nom and Yusei were still going for it. Mandy had now taken to using her sword on Sam, who was fighting back with her Laser Nail File.
"I've been wanting you spies out for a while," Mandy growled. "Perhaps I can get you injured enough to send you home. Then I'm going after that boyfriend of yours!"
That made Sam even more angry. Furious, she launched a laser at Mandy, who dodged. The beam flew under the bridge and hit one of the supports.
As for Snake and Shrek, Snake found himself next to the token. Quickly, he grabbed it, but it was within Shrek's notice. Shrek started to charge at Snake. Thankfully for the spy, he sidestepped and dodged the charge. However, Shrek's weight caused him to keep going, and he hit the wall. That shook the entire fort and further weakened the bridge.
During the whole challenge, Superman had been looking around the area endlessly, hoping nothing went wrong. However, he knew something was going to happen when the bridge started to weaken. When no one was looking at one point, he flew to the bridge and froze the support with his ice breath to buy some time. Then when Shrek weakened it further, things were starting to get bad. There was no way Superman would be able to fix it on time. So he flew down to the group.
"Guys, you all have to get off the bridge," he announced. "It's going to collapse in a matter of minutes!"
He didn't have to tell them twice. Immediately, almost everyone scrambled off the bridge and into the forts. Double D was practically thrown into his teammates. Mandy shoved Lammy aside as she ran. Superman told those still in the forts about the bridge. Everyone ran out to see it.
Then Double D counted on his fingers and realized there were still two people unaccounted for. "Where are Nom Nom and Yusei?" he asked. Then everyone looked on the bridge, which was sliding by now. The two aforementioned competitors were still on the bridge, still battling.
"Nom Nom, Yusei," Superman called. "You need to get out of there!"
That was easier said than done. "I'm not leaving until the duelist gives in!" Nom Nom yelled. He continued to toy with Yusei, who was starting to worry.
Julie looked at her statue, which was still in her hand, and decided to throw it at Yusei. So she threw it in his direction. Unfortunately, the duelist was too distracted with worry about the bridge, and he failed to catch it. The statue soared over his head and fell over the bridge. Yusei hardly paid attention.
"Don't you know he's right?" he asked Nom Nom. "We have to get off this bridge now!"
And to prove he was serious, Yusei put his cards back in his deck and looked straight in Nom Nom's eyes.
That only served to further enrage the koala bear. However, before he could do anything, the bridge started to rumble. The support that was right below Nom Nom and Yusei started to slide and give away. And as it did so, the bridge itself started to crack. Yusei looked at the gradually forming crack and tried to pull Nom Nom, who was resisting.
"Nom Nom, what are you doing?!" Yusei warned. "We have to move!"
"Not until we settle this!" Nom Nom replied, and he tackled Yusei.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Leave it to Nom Nom to mess things up," said Goku.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
They had started to wrestle each other, and Nom Nom was surprisingly fighting back (he's strong for a koala). Then Nom Nom got the upper hand and kicked Yusei in the face. It didn't really hurt him, but it pushed him away. Nom Nom smiled at his supposed victory but his celebration was interrupted when the side of the bridge he was on started to slide down toward the chasm. He tried to get a good foothold, but failed, and he started to slide down to the gap.
He was about to fall off when someone grabbed his paw. Nom Nom saw Yusei grab hold and cling himself to the other side of the stone.
"You fool!" Nom Nom yelled. "You're only going to go over with me!"
"Just hang on!" Yusei responded. However, the stone was still sliding, and Yusei was losing his grip.
Everyone else watched with a lot of panic. Lammy was close to hyperventilating, and Rarity was freaking out. "Some pony do something!" she cried.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Some pony?" asked Julie incredously.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Goku was about to fly to them, but Toph stopped him. "Someone else has got this," she said. Goku looked at her, confused. "Who?"
Then, just when Yusei was about to fully lose his grip, the stone started to shift itself horizontally again. Yusei and Nom Nom looked down and saw Superman lifting the rock away from the bridge. The superhero flew the piece of the bridge to the Koala side and gently lowered it to the ground. Yusei and Nom Nom stepped off and sat down next to the rock.
"Thanks for that, Supes," Yusei breathed. Superman simply nodded. Nom Nom just rolled his eyes.
Goku turned to Superman. "So who won?"
"Well," Chris replied, "since the Green Ogre's statue went over the bridge, that means they can't finish the challenge. That means the Cute Koalas are our winners today!"
The Koalas cheered. Snake gave Double D a hi-five, and Rarity squeled.
"Ogres, you know the drill," Chris continued. Then everyone walked (or flew) away from the forts. Soon the only ones left were Nom Nom, Deadpool, and Mandy.
"Uh," Deadpool began, "Nom Nom?"
Nom Nom looked right at Mandy. "You know what to do." Mandy nodded.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"I'm impressed that Yusei tried to save Nom Nom back there," said Sam, "but now he's dead meat. I hope his team can listen to reason."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Well that fight escalated quickly," Dante stated.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"CHIMICHANGAS!" screamed Deadpool.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Dante, Coco, and Julie were outside their cabin, talking about who to eliminate.
"Well," said Julie, "Yusei did kinda cost us the challenge. He didn't pay attention when I threw the statue at him."
Dante nodded. "He's cool," he added, "but he's also sort of a threat. He's certainly nicer than others. And those cards can easily be used as a way to trick people into revealing their strengths."
Mandy showed up at that moment. "So who are you guys going to choose?"
"Cocococococo," Coco replied.
"None of my business?" Mandy replied. "I'm me. It's totally my business."
Julie was confused at where this was leading. "So who are you voting off?"
"If you ask me," Mandy responded, "I want you all to vote for…."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"After an incredible challenge-" Chris said, but was interrupted by Dante.
"Incredible? You forget it could've killed some of us!"
Chris rolled his eyes. "Not like you were in any danger. You're a demon hunter for crying out loud. Now take your marshmallow and be happy." He threw a marshmallow at Dante, who took it and ate it with contempt.
"Julie, Shrek, Mandy, and Coco are safe too," Chris added as he threw them all marshmallows. That left Yusei and Superman.
"One duelist and one superhero. Which one is it? I have no idea why Superman's up here, maybe because of threat level, but Yusei failing to catch the statue caused his team to be here tonight. Plus, you also have a threat level. So who says?"
Neither Yusei or Superman showed any sign of fear. They appeared as calm as could be.
"The final marshmallow goes to…."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...Yusei."
Yusei immediately stood up, totally shocked. "Why keep me?" he asked his teammates. "I lost the challenge for you guys. Superman deserves to stay way more."
"It's fine," Superman told him. "I have no qualms about the decision."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Superman IS the bigger threat," said Dante. "I mean, it's Superman!"
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Cocococococo (Mandy told us all it would be better to vote off Superman)," Coco explained. "Cocococococo (And no one wants to argue with Mandy)."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"I can kick off Yusei any time I want," Nom Nom stated. "Soon his luck will run out."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Nom Nom knows Yusei tried to save him back there," said Snake. "He's denying it, but he's a bad liar."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"I really don't know how the cannon will do anything on Superman," Chris announced. "So we'll let him fly off this time."
Superman nodded. "Goodbye everyone," he said as he flew away from the island.
"Now that that's over," Chris continued, "I now have to worry about the safety lawsuits that will come after this. I already have one from Courtney."
That night….
Sam and the rest of the alliance were explaining everything to Toph.
"You can tell anyone except Nom Nom and his alliance about the alliance," Snake told her, "but you can't tell anyone about Nom Nom's actions. We plan to defeat him as silently as possible."
Toph nodded. "This is something I can do."
Then she turned to Yusei. "Hey, you've been quiet all night," she told him. "Anything on your mind?"
"Nom Nom had the perfect opportunity to kick me off tonight," he explained. "Why didn't he take the chance?"
Sam already had the answer. "Nom Nom's not pure evil," she explained. "Most likely, he felt the same way Deadpool does to Julie right now for a moment. Grateful. Glad you tried to save him back there. He appreciates the effort in a way."
Snake smirked. "Whatever those guys are planning against us," he told his alliance, "we'll have to find out. We already almost suffered a major hit. And Yusei, don't anger him again like that. We can't risk it."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Nice work with Superman," Nom Nom told Mandy, who nodded. "We have a major threat out of the game, and I-uh, I mean we, are one step closer to a million dollars."
Deadpool was snickering. "Interesting to know how you gave up a perfect opportunity," he snickered. "Now if only the problem with Julie was that easy to handle."
"Not to worry," Nom Nom added. "Soon, she'll go the same way as Princess Bubblegum, Maya, Mega Man, and Zelda."
"BUSTED!"
All three turned their heads to the sound, and it turned out to be Rarity. Nom Nom held his paws in front of Deadpool and Mandy to let them know not to do anything.
"I knew it!" Rarity exclaimed. "You three are in an alliance,and you've eliminated people already!"
Mandy scoffed and said, "It's not illegal."
"It IS wrong," Rarity responded. "And Deadpool, you're ordered to fake your friendship with Julie? I thought you were better than that!"
Then she sped away, but Nom Nom had an evil smile on his face now.
"Uh why are you smiling?" Mandy asked him.
Nom Nom kept grinning. "Because I know who to eliminate next."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
That was epic!
Twist! Nom Nom forsakes the perfect chance to eliminate Yusei and gets rid of Superman. Let's face it, though. Supes would've won the whole competition. Could it be because of Yusei's selfless act that he's still in the competition?
Toph joins Snake's alliance and Nom Nom takes another victim. The War of the Alliances has officially begun!
And Rarity know about Nom Nom's past deeds, as well as Deadpool's dilemma with Julie. Where will this lead for our favorite unicorn?
Oh, next chapter will be something new to Chris' torture: a singing contest. I need suggestions on what everyone will sing. It's not gauranteed that your suggestions will be used, but send me song ideas. Just as long as they don't have to be heavily censored. Let's sing it on!
Next chapter, I'll show the good luck messages that have been submitted so far. And keep sending those. The competitors could use some encouragement from loved ones.
Read and review! And P.M. And I'll see you next chapter!
