New chapter! This one is a bit better plot-wise to make up for the shortness of the last one. I'm sorry this one was even later than usual. School and Fanfiction are a lot of work to keep in balance. But as always, thanks for reading!
The camera opens up to Chris, who is ready this time.
He smiles, and begins the recap. "Last time, on Total Drama Destino Island: The campers had to ride the wave and collect flags to win the challenge. A few people excelled," *Shows Liam perfectly grabbing a flag* "While a few people had a bit of trouble." *Shows Cindy repeatedly falling into the water* "Timothy repelled Farrah by targeting Graham, and in the end Cindy lost the win for Team Huracan. However, it was Nathan going home when he voted for himself. Who will be the next to fall? Find out right here! Right now! On TOTAL! DRAMA! DESTINO ISLAND!" Chris shouts as it cuts to the theme song.
Dear Mom and Dad I'm doing fine
Timothy is typing on his laptop when Kylie and Norman run past him, causing him to drop his laptop in the water, which he dives after.
You guys are on my mind
It scrolls over to show Nathan staring at Adam, who is yet again carving his name into Team Huracan's house.
You asked me what I wanted to be
Graham and Farrah are talking together when the latter sees something in the distance. She runs to it, dragging Graham behind her.
And now I think the answer is plain to see
John is watching his team from the top of a cliff, with Katarina behind him. He shifts his gaze from Zero and Brooke, who are reading, to Liam and Laurie, who are surfing. The wave comes down with a crash, and Laurie is sent sprawling to the shore. Suddenly, the ground starts shaking, and Katarina falls off the cliff.
I wanna be famous
Cindy is waving to the camera when suddenly Tod bursts in, pushing Cindy away and waving to the camera herself, but looks away when Katarina falls into the water behind them.
I wanna live close to the sun
Tyrla and Willam are running from a steady lava stream, when Tyrla spots an idol on the ground. She scoops it up and pockets it.
So pack your bags cause I've already won
Marc and Petunia are taking pictures of each other when a fake volcano erupts behind them, showering Marc with hot water. He starts screaming and runs away.
Everything to prove, nothing in my way
Sarah runs past Marc, with Ace following close behind her. She pulls out a piece of paper and crosses a name off, smirking.
I'll get there one day
Melissa is talking to Andrew when a huge thunderstorm appears above them, drenching the two.
Cause I wanna be famous
Zero and Brooke are reading together when Zero suddenly gets struck by lightning, causing Brooke to gasp.
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na!
Finally, a huge wave comes in and sweeps away all the campers as the background fades to night.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous. I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous.
Everyone is gathered around the campfire when Chris points to someone. They walk away, their head hung in shame as the screen fades to black.
It is the middle of the night, and almost every camper is sleeping.
But in Team Terremoto's house, a silhouette creeps through the door.
The figure creeps around, apparently looking for something.
Finally, they come upon Timothy, who has his laptop tucked under his arm. They gently take the laptop away, and creep out of his room.
They step outside and throw the laptop into the water, where it sinks to the bottom.
"Let's see how much of an advantage you have now." They say as the scene fades to black.
A scream from Team Terremoto's house wakes up the entire island.
"Where is it! Where is it?" Timothy panics, frantically looking around the house.
"Where's what?" Kylie asks, yawning.
"MY LAPTOP!" Timothy yells, frustrated.
"You carry that thing around all the time. Maybe it's good for you to let go." Kylie reasons.
"NO NO NO! THIS IS IMPORTANT TO ME!" He yells, breathing heavily. "I've had it for years!"
"Dude. You need to chill out." Graham says.
"Yes," Norman agrees. "High levels of stress are poor for your health."
"I... I don't care. I just want my computer back." Timothy says.
"There's way more to life than computers." Kylie says, shaking her head.
Confessionals:
Timothy: "They... they don't understand. That laptop was everything to me. I don't know what I'll do without it."
Farrah taps Graham on the shoulder. "Can I talk to you outside?" She whispers.
"Sure. Why?" Graham asks.
Farrah just walks out. Graham shrugs and follows her.
Once they both get outside, Farrah turns to him. "Yesterday, Timothy was targeting you. Did you break his computer?" She questions.
"What? I would never sink that low!" Graham protests.
Farrah hesitates, then nods. "Okay. I believe you." She says.
Confessionals:
Farrah: "I mean, he was surfing while Timothy and I were talking. How could he know?"
Melissa hears Timothy in the other house, and groans.
"Can't they just shut up for once in their life?" She asks.
"It is annoying, but you've got to give them a chance. They have their problems. We have ours." Ace says.
"Some more than others." Willam says, eyeing Sarah.
Sarah leans towards Melissa. "Come with me outside." She whispers.
Melissa follows Sarah, and they stand on the house's deck.
"What did you want me here for?" Melissa asks, smirking.
"I saw you talking to Willam yesterday. I think you're going to go behind my back and vote me out." Sarah says.
"Relax. I'm not going to go through with it. Unlike you, she doesn't have a game plan." Melissa says. "You've got a whole book of strategies and stuff. If anything, I want to be on your side when the merge comes. You're going to carry me all the way to the finale."
Sarah looks suspicious, but eventually walks back inside.
Confessionals:
Sarah: "Do I trust her? Not really. But I do need her vote if I want to take out Willam's alliance.
Cindy, Adam, and Tod are sitting together once again.
"Last night was pretty unexpected," Cindy begins. "But now we definitely have the votes we need to take out Liam and Laurie. Face it. This alliance is perfect, like me."
"You got that right." Tod agrees. "We wouldn't be anywhere without you."
"Could you be any more of a suck-up?" Adam asks.
Cindy glares at him. "We could really do without that attitude, Adam."
"You know what? I need a break." Adam says, getting up and walking away.
Confessionals:
Cindy: "Honestly, he's lucky he's in my alliance. Otherwise it would have been him on that lifeboat last night."
Adam: "I hate these girls. One's a self-centered control freak, and the other's a brainless follower. I'm getting out of this alliance, one way or another."
Liam and Laurie are talking together as well.
"Well...that was pretty bad." He says.
"What? You didn't get eliminated. That's good, right?" Laurie tries to reassure him.
"No… I got three votes. The only reason I didn't go home was because Nathan voted for himself. What's the point anymore? I'm doomed." Liam says, looking down.
"Well, you've just got to try harder!" Laurie cheers. She puts her arm around Liam, who smiles slightly.
At that moment, Adam walks in. "Whoa. Am I interrupting something here?" He asks.
"No!" Laurie blurts, quickly putting her hands in her lap.
"Okay then," Adam nods. "Wanna ally with me? I am so sick of Tod and Cindy."
"Uh…" Liam looks wary. "Why should we trust you? You voted for me yesterday."
"That's all in the past," Adam says. "Besides, you can't afford not to trust me. I'm the only chance you've got."
Liam is left speechless for a second, and Adam laughs. "I'll leave you to think about it.
Confessionals:
Liam: "I don't want to trust him, but he is kind of right. I hate decisions like these…"
Team Marea is eating breakfast together, their spirits lifted after the previous challenge's results.
"Nice job, team." John congratulates. "We actually got out of the bottom two. Maybe we can turn this game around. We can be at the top for once."
Katarina laughs. "For some reason, I really doubt it." She looks towards Marc. "Are you going to eat that?" She asks, pointing to Marc's sandwich.
"N-no." Marc says pushing his plate to Katarina. She shrugs. "More for me."
As Katarina digs into Marc's food, the latter starts whispering to Petunia. "Can I talk to you privately please?"
Petunia nods, confused, but follows Marc outside anyway.
"Listen," Marc says, grabbing Petunia's shoulders. "I'm honestly pretty freaked out by Katarina. I don't think I can keep John's vote a secret from her much longer." He looks down at his feet, ashamed. "I'm... I'm sorry."
"Marc, I'm not angry at you," Petunia says. "You're right to be scared of someone like Katarina. And if you want to tell her... I don't blame you."
Marc looks up. "R-Really?"
"Yes." Petunia smiles.
Marc returns the smile, and Petunia hugs him.
Chris rides up in a boat, stopping next to the two. "That's enough affection, people. The ratings are dropping." He says. "But on the upside, it's challenge time!"
Confessionals:
Katarina: "This is it. We are going to crush the other teams. They won't know what hit them."
As soon as everyone is ready, Chris starts explaining the challenge. "Today, you four unlucky groups will have to complete a lap around a set of buoys. But there's a twist. You have to place a torch in every buoy with your team's logo on it. The first team back here will win immunity and an advantage in the next challenge. The last team will have to send an unlucky camper home."
Four interns row up in canoes. "Since Team Terremoto won the last challenge, they get a motor." Chris says, pointing to a motor that is poorly strapped on to the back of one of the canoes. He hands each camper a torch and an oar as they step into their boats. "Go!" He shouts, and the four teams start rowing.
"Okay. Looks like I'm going to be the one in charge." Sarah says, facing her team. Ace gives a small cheer, but is stopped when Melissa glares at him.
"Ace, hand me your torch." Sarah says, and the two exchange a torch and a paddle. "You're the strongest here, so you should row."
"Hold on. Why does he have to row? We should all do an equal amount of work." Willam protests.
Confessionals:
Willam: "I know we've already got three votes, but it doesn't hurt to have a backup plan."
"No thanks," Ace says, rowing forward. "I'm fine with doing the work."
"It didn't work. What do we do now?" Tyrla whispers to Willam. "We don't need another plan. We've already got three votes on our side." Willam replies.
They reach their first buoy, and Sarah places her first torch into it.
Confessionals:
Ace: "As much as I'd like to do less work, I've got to get on Sarah's good side to improve our chances of hooking up."
Team Terremoto is far in the lead, having already placed a torch down. They speed forward towards the next buoy, and Graham turns to Timothy, who is sulking.
"What the heck, Timothy?" He asks.
"What?" Timothy replies, looking up.
"You know what I mean." Graham says, crossing his arms. Timothy looks genuinely confused. "You were targeting me!" Graham says when Timothy doesn't respond.
"I was doing it for the team!" Timothy defends, standing up.
"What kind of good team member tries to get rid of their friend behind their back?" Graham says.
"Maybe if you actually cared about something for once in your life!" Timothy shouts, giving Graham a small push. Evie gasps, and shies away from the conflict.
Confessionals:
Evie: "I really don't like it when people fight."
Graham: "That jerk just thinks he's entitled to everything in life! News flash; Not everything revolves around your computer!"
Timothy looks startled at what he's done, then clenches his fists, a new confidence arising in him. He pushes Graham again. The Introvert almost loses his balance, but regains it at the last second.
"Look what you did! We almost got disqualified becau-" Graham starts to speak out, but Timothy pushes him into the water, causing both of their torches to go out.
He laughs triumphantly, but stops and looks down at his feet. "What have I done?" He mutters to himself.
Confessionals:
Timothy: "I just ruined our team's chances at the challenge because I was angry at Graham." He sighs. "I was just trying to help... I've got to make it up to Graham somehow."
Team Marea places their second torch down. They're already lagging behind, with every other team ahead of them.
John clears his throat. "We need to improve, team. Petunia, give your oar to Katarina. She's twice as strong as you are."
Petunia does so, and the boat begins to speed up.
Marc leans over to John. "Can we talk about strategy?" He asks.
John nods, and the two start a conversation.
Confessionals:
Katarina: "John, I'm sick of being used as your tool. You think I don't know that you're planning to vote me out behind my back? What else would you be doing with those two creeps? I'm taking charge of this team, and I'm doing it today!"
John: "Obviously I'm not going to be voting with Marc and Petunia. If Katarina were to be eliminated, that would make me the odd one out, not being with the two for as long. It would also heighten my chances for elimination by getting rid of our strongest player. I'm staying with Katarina. And if Marc and Petunia think I'm on their side..." He shrugs. "Their loss."
"Like I said before, Petunia and I want to vote out Katarina." Marc says.
"I know. I just don't think your offer of a spot in the merge is good enough for me." John replies.
"What will it take for you to vote for her?" Marc asks.
"Something better than a spot in the merge. I can get there without your help." John says.
Marc reaches into his pocket and fishes out the immunity idol. "If Katarina gets out next time we lose, this is for you."
John looks surprised for a second, but quickly regains his composure. "Is that real?"
Marc nods.
Confessionals:
Marc: "Petunia told me to do what I thought was right... hopefully this is it."
John: "There's no way Marc could've found an idol this early. But even so..." He stops to think. "No. I've got to play like it's fake. He probably trusts me enough to think that I would vote for Katarina, so there's no worry about him using it if it is real. I've got to drive a wedge between him and Petunia so that he'll give it to me without having to vote out my ally."
Cindy is standing at the helm of the boat, pointing ahead. She had already put down her torch, and now Tod was rowing with her oar, panting heavily.
"Cindy..." Tod breathes heavily. "How much... longer... do I... have to do this?"
"Until I say you can take a break." Cindy declares. "All of you, row harder!"
Tod grimaces, but pushes forward nonetheless.
Liam taps Adam on the shoulder, and the latter turns to Liam.
"I thought about what you said earlier," Liam says. "And my answer is yes. We will vote with you."
Adam gives Liam a smile. "Smart choice. What does your girlfriend have to say about this?"
"M-my girlfriend?" Liam says, looking at Laurie.
"Yeah. You two hang out all the time." Adam says.
"She's... not really my girlfriend." Liam admits.
Adam gives Liam a punch on the shoulder with his free hand. "Come on! You've got to make a move on her soon! If you don't, someone like me might swoop in and take her before you can." He chuckles.
"But seriously, she's probably expecting you to make the first move. Surprise her." Adam says.
"Thanks for the advice. I'll keep it in mind." Liam comments.
As Team Huracan gets to their last buoy, Team Terremoto motors their way to the finish line, looking depressed.
"We get it. We lost." Kylie says.
"Actually, you just get a penalty." Chris clarifies. "You lost two torches, so that's a 10-minute penalty. Just hope the other teams don't finish before you do."
At that moment, Team Huracan comes sailing in, cheering.
"Team Huracan wins the challenge!" Chris declares. "Now it's just a contest for food and immunity."
Team Volcan and Team Marea row forward, neck and neck. Each team is completely out of breath, and rowing slowly.
The timer for Team Terremoto dings, and they move past the finish line.
"It's down to water and fire," Chris says. "Which team will have to eliminate another member?"
"Oh, come on. This is stupid." Katarina says, putting down her oars."
"What are you doing?" John hisses at her.
"I'm going to ruin the other team's chances at winning. Wasn't that obvious?" Katarina asks.
"I specifically said no sabotage!" John insists.
"I don't care." Katarina replies, diving into the water.
She swims under Team Volcan's boat and tips up one of the sides, causing them to fall into the water. They curse, but Katarina laughs and ignores them.
She swims back to the boat and starts rowing furiously, rocketing them past the finish line.
"And Team Marea evades elimination once again!" Chris calls. "Team Volcan, you know what time it is."
Chris stands before Team Volcan, holding a plate of sandwiches. "Team Volcan," He begins. "Welcome to your second elimination ceremony. I'm sure you all know the rules by now, but is there anyone who would like to play an idol?" Nobody speaks up, so Chris shrugs and continues. "If you get a sandwich, you're safe."
…
…
"Ace" Chris says, tossing a sandwich to the Jock.
…
…
"Melissa."
…
…
"And Willam." He says. Willam catches her sandwich, looking nervous.
"Tyrla, you're on the chopping block because of your alliance with Willam. And Sarah, you're on the chopping block for being the leader of your own alliance. One of you received three votes. And the camper going home is..." Chris reaches for the final sandwich, smirking.
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
"Tyrla. Start packing your bags." Willam stands up as soon as she hears her friend's name, and glares at Melissa. "I thought you were going to vote for Sarah tonight!" She scolds. "I don't have to do what you say." Melissa says, giving Willam a grin.
Chef picks up Tyrla and tosses her onto the Lifeboat of Shame. The Underdog looks sad until Willam walks up. "Hey." She greets. "Hi." Tyrla replies.
"Listen..." Willam starts, looking nervous. "I'm sorry things didn't work out. That Melissa girl is a |Censored|."
"It's okay," Tyrla assures. "I actually had a great time here. I made it past a few people, and I made a new friend."
"Alright, that's enough talk." Chris says, walking in. He kicks the Lifeboat away, then turns to the camera.
"That was… interesting. But there are still questions left to be answered. How will Timothy fare without his computer? Will Katarina end up in control of her team? And most importantly, who is this new villain? All these can be answered on TOTAL! DRAMA! DESTINO ISLAND!" Chris shouts as the screen fades to black.
Voting Confessional:
Willam: "Melissa should be voting with us tonight. Sarah, you're out of here."
Tyrla: "I'm… going to have to go with Willam. My vote is for Sarah."
Sarah: "At least Willam can win challenges. Goodbye, Tyrla."
Ace: "Yeah. I'm voting with Sarah."
Melissa: "Those two girls can't honestly think I would give up an alliance with the two biggest challenge threats in the game, would they?"
Teams:
Team Volcan: (Ace, Melissa, Sarah, and Willam)
Team Marea: (John, Katarina, Marc, and Petunia)
Team Huracan: (Adam, Cindy, Laurie, Liam, and Tod)
Team Terremoto: (Evie, Farrah, Graham, Kylie, Norman, and Timothy)
Eliminated: Zero, Andrew, Brooke, Nathan, Tyrla
Tyrla: I really don't know what to say about her. She was mostly overlooked, and I already have some shy characters in here. Her only real plot was the alliance with Willam, and that was getting kind of old to be honest. Whether you were a fan of her or not, she places 20th.
And that's that! I have a few questions for you guys, though.
1. Who's your favorite of the campers so far? (The ones remaining, that is.)
2. Who do you think will be eliminated next?
3. And finally, who do you think the mystery villain is?
And as always, tell me how I played your character, and thanks for reading!
