Chapter 42
"She got so ticked; she hurled the skate right at him." The intern said.
"No way." A young man said with a snicker.
"Yes way man." The young man said as he piloted the plane over the island.
"What can you tell me about Chef?"
"He keeps the little toy turtle under the bed, with his collection, of plushies."
"Oh no way!" The man cackled.
"Oh no, he does, and at the night, he flips the show on, to watch…." He whispered the rest, making Tommy cackle.
"No way man!" He chuckled. "Anyways, thanks for the ride. Now…I'm going in!"
"See ya Tommy!" The intern waved as the man called Tommy opened the door and leaped out, falling towards the island.
Tommy was short with spiky blonde hair and green eyes. He wore a pair of jeans and what looked like a Hawaiian shirt. He also had a parachute strapped to his back as he fell.
He cheered as he fell through the air. "Woo hoo!"
He deployed it, and began to fall slowly towards the island below. Normally if someone jumped out a helicopter as high in the air as the one he jumped out of was he would be freezing but thanks to a…special talent he didn't even feel the cold chilling air as he descended down towards the island with the large mountain below.
"And here I was, after a long and boring flight with an intern from the Total Drama studio, to the island of Hawaii where the long awaited battleground will probably take place… well not so much battle as comedy if it's just Total Drama, in real life with Carlos and Kurt however… the higher ups in the Avatar Community hoped that they along with their apprentice would be able to track down the Red Marauder along with the Black Star. Naturally it wasn't surprising that they'd follow Chris's movements. The poor man, after his head was bashed in with a figure skater he slept with, he brought ultimate doom down on himself and twenty some others. And Chef, well I knew he had problems like Chris but I didn't know that under the false muscular exterior, he really was into more…childish and youthful activities….he…plays…with….dolls. Lots of dolls." The man snickered through the middle of his monologue as he landed on the beach of the island. "For my skills, they called me in to assist in this quest to vanquish evil. My contact who asked me to come here: Kurt, the ultimate chaotic power sealed within a human being, the kind of person who just waves at you to say hello rather than waste time with words. Carlos would rather take out the Red Marauder himself, but unfortunately he is away and has asked me to go ahead and check things out so to speak, until he can get here." Tommy looked around as he started sneaking into the forest. "Though if all else fails it'll be up to me, Tommy, Avatar of-"
"Will you STOP with the monologues already?!" A voice with a Scottish accent shouted as a figure appeared next to Tommy, taking the form of a large man wearing a kilt, leather clothing and leaning a large sword on one shoulder. "Seriously laddy! I actually think I am losing parts of my spiritual brain! THAT is how annoying those monologues are!"
"…kill joy." Tommy muttered. "My spirit: Highlander. And yes I know the reference. So does he. It pisses him off. His other name, his title: the Immortal Blade."
"Seriously! Get on with the bloody show already you bloomin'-"
Tommy tuned him out. "And he and I have been given the most vital task of coming here to monitor the island for signs of the Red Marauder and the dreaded Black Star themselves. The risks are high, the rewards higher-"
"And apparently YOU are even higher!" The Highlander grumbled. "Why of all the morons in the land did I get the one who narrates to himself?!"

"Welcome to the live finale of Total Drama World Tour!" Chris announced standing between the finalists.
The finalists were Alejandro, Ezekiel, Elliot and Dawn who had all made it to Hawaii despite the fact that they had been stranded in the middle of Alberta.
"Moments ago Alejandro was tied with Elliot and Dawn second in a boat sandwich when they crashed onto the beach and Ezekiel emerged from the ocean just as they all made it to the finish line, leaving four finalist for this season leaving Cody eliminated for failing to make it before the time limit was finished."
"NO!" Sierra wailed.
"Mmm…" Chris rubbed his hands together. "During the break we sent them to vent in the confessional."

Confessional: Elliot
"I made it! I made it! I made it! Look at me, Mommy and Daddy! I'm in the finale!" Elliot waved at the camera. "I'm going to win!"

"It feels go to make it this far after everything that has happened this season. I wish for luck from Mother Nature that'll help me win."

"Yo-yo! I made it this far and I'm going to win it all!"

"GO TEAM ALEJANDRO!" Sadie shouted from a bleacher where she, Katie, Lindsay, Tyler, Courtney, and an annoyed looking Heather sat, holding Alejandro flags.
"Hey! How come no one's on my team!?" Ezekiel said when he noticed no one was sitting at Team Ezekiel's bleacher.
"I can only guess." Alejandro muttered.
"Hi Izzy!" Elliot called out, waving to Izzy who was waving back to her from Team Elliot's bleacher.
"Hi Elly!" Izzy called back.
Izzy, Bridgette and DJ who were looking better after their loss in Cuba, Geoff, Trent, Duncan, Eva, Owen Noah, and Cody with Sierra next to him at Team Elliot's bleacher.
Dawn looked around and noticed LeShawna was sitting at Team Dawn's bleacher. "LeShawna's aura tells me she wishes to make up for the incident in Germany."
"Hey! Where's Gwen?" Elliot looked around. "I want to see pick which team she's on!"
"Who cares?" Chris shrugged. "We don't bring back people who blow up a person's property."
"For the last time, I didn't blow up your stupid jet!" A voice shouted behind everyone.
"Gwen!" Elliot smiled happily as she ran forward when she saw Gwen.
"Elliot, no hug-Oof!" Gwen gasped as Elliot knocked her down, hugging her tightly.
"I was so worried about you!" Elliot sat up and looked down at the dazed look on Gwen's face. "I'm in the finale! Can you believe that?!"
"Y-Yeah." Gwen gasped as she tried to sit up.
"Gwen, what happened to you, girl?" LeShawna ran over and helped Gwen up. "We lost track of you after the jet exploded."
"I got a ride from someone on the show nice enough to drop me off here." Gwen said as she threw a dark look at Chris. "Despite the beliefs of a certain idiot not everyone immediately accused me of blowing up a jet."
"Everyone has pay the consequences, Gwenny." Chris shrugged.
"I'm not in your stupid contest so if you call me that again you'll be entertaining the world with the episode known as 'Mophead with a knee in the balls'." Gwen threatened.
Chris flinched as he stepped back. "Okay, okay, I get it. Can you guys please take a seat now so we can get on with it?"
Gwen glared but followed LeShawna to the bleachers.
"Gwen, about what happened in Germany-" LeShawna started.
"I know." Gwen cut her off. "I'm not mad about that anymore but I still want you to apologize to Dawn."
"No problem." LeShawna nodded with a small smile.
Gwen looked at the bleachers that all had a picture of a contestant that was left in the finale. After taking a moment of thinking Gwen walked over to Elliot's bleacher. "Sorry, Dawn."
"It's all right, Gwen." Dawn answered serenely.
As Gwen sat down she saw her Star Necklace flash with silver light for an instant but luckily no one noticed.
'An Avatar is nearby.' Gwen thought as she looked at Ezekial. 'Did Nebula drop the anti-detection Methods?'
'Or someone else is nearby.' Andromeda offered.
'Must be Kurt's contact.' Gwen thought but shook her head to listen to Chris continue announcing the challenge.
"The peanut gallery is playing a major role in choosing the winner." Chris stated.
"Sweet!" Duncan smirked. "I'm guessing we're all voting for the winner again."
"But first, we've got to break a tie. Elliot, since you won the race to Hawaii, your reward is this advantage: you can select the tiebreaker yourself or you can let one of the other three finalists do it."
"I'll do it!" Elliot exclaimed, waving her hand.
"I was hoping you'd say that…" Chris cackled, making Elliot nervous. He led them over to a large glass compartment with a door and a giant sphere on top."TA-DAAAAAAAAAAAA! Each ball in our Challenge Booth has a different challenge written on it. So, take your pick…"
"Well, isn't this fun…" Elliot strolled forward into the Booth and Chris shut the door behind her. As the machine turned on and the sphere began to rumble. "Why don't I like the sound of that?"
Then came the torrent of golf balls…
"AAH! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?" Elliot shouted as she was peppered with the endless rain of golf balls..
Gwen winced at Elliot's predicament along with the other former contestants. "You told me these challenges would be safe, Bridgette!"
"I swear! Geoff and I put Ping-Pong balls in there!" Bridgette exclaimed, knowing how protective of Elliot Gwen was.
"Yeah, I know. And I'm not mad- just disappointed." Chris said. "I had to dial it up to meet my usual high standards…"
"I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS CHRIS! WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU I'LL MAKE YOU WISH MY DADDY NEVER LET ME ONTO THIS SHOW! AND THEN HE'LL KICK YOU MOP-HEADED (Beep!) RIGHT THROUGH THE MOON!" Elliot roared. She caught one and handed it over to Chris, but not without smacking him around the head. "AND THAT'S ONLY BECAUSE I CAN'T GET AWAY WITH MURDER ON LIVE TELEVISION! SEE HOW YOU LIKE HAVING A SPLITTING HEADACHE!"
"Ouch Elliot! That was not needed!" Chris exclaimed. "Anyway…" Chris gazed down at the golf ball he now held. "Elliot has selected the traditional Hawaiian Fire Dance of Death…"
Alejandro smirked at Ezekiel and Dawn evilly and while both the home schooled boy and the pale skilled girl looked completely calm.

Confessional: Dawn
"Alejandro is confident in his ability to defeat myself and Ezekiel but for the sake of Mother Earth I must defeat him."

"I question how traditional it is for a male warrior to wear a coconut bra…"Alejandro commented, gesturing to the costumes that he, Dawn, and Ezekiel, which consisted of the bra and grass skirts.
They were also given two metal poles with large cylindrical cushions on either end. At the least the costume seemed appropriate for Dawn, making her seem like a genuine warrior and not humiliating her in any way like it was for Alejandro and Ezekiel. The contestants were now out on a raft on the water Ezekiel on one side, Alejandro on the other, and Dawn was behind a pole in the middle to which Elliot was tied.
"Forget that! What the hell do I need to be tied up for?" Elliot asked angrily.
"Your challenge, Elliot. The first to free Elliot wins a spot in the final two and a chance at the million." Chris said from the beach where Chef stood.
"Chef, will you do the honours of getting this thing started?" Chris asked.
Chef was now shirtless with a purple a Hawaiian skirt and had a wreath of flowers on his head and was barefoot. He pulled out a bow and arrow set and fired two flaming arrows at the same time, which ignited two stands on either side of the platform. He also fired off some steaks into the water.
"Oh, and watch out for the water. You don't wanna fall in. It's shark infested…" Chris chuckled.
'You better hope that neither Dawn nor Elliot are hurt Chris.' Gwen thought with narrowed look in her eyes.
Duncan on the shore chuckled. "Man is it nice to be out of this game!"
"Say one more stupid comment and I'll throw you in the water myself!" Gwen snapped.
Duncan's eyes widened at Gwen's sudden anger but wisely did as he was told. Gwen's closest friends knew she was pissed and scared for her friends and no doubt would do something if either of them were hurt.
"Now… GO!" Chris shouted.
"Prepare to be defeated, my tiny friend and beautiful maiden of nature…" Alejandro said, expertly twirling his pole in his hand.
"Your arrogance will be your downfall." Dawn said as she slowly stepped forward. "Victory slips away from you with each step."
"And you believe you can defeat me?" Alejandro asked with a raised eyebrow. "And what makes you so sure?"
"Your aura tells me what you plan to do, what steps you wish to make, and what you will do to win this challenge and this competition. It tells me your ambition, your determination, your greed. And with it I know what must be done to defeat you." Dawn answered serenely as she dropped her pole. "Weapons like these are unnecessary and brutish when you attain true understanding."
Alejandro frowned at what she said. "Though I am against fighting a female in any way as I am a gentleman I am forced to defeat you to assure victory."
He tried to knock Dawn off the raft but she gracefully danced around his attempts to push her off, closing her eyes and making it seem like she was performing a dance instead of taking part in a challenge she might get killed.
"Why isn't she fighting back?" Duncan asked.
"Dawn's too nice to raise her hand against anyone, even someone who deserves it. Dawn's not someone to take part in a fight so she's simply doing the next best thing in her mind." Gwen answered.
"By dancing?" Heather retorted. "She won't win like that."
"You don't know Dawn, Heather so I suggest you shut up and watch." Gwen snapped.
Dawn stepped, ducked, and twirled out of the way of each strike as she danced around Alejandro who was getting slightly frustrated at his inability to knock her off the raft. And she was doing it so easily with her eyes closed!
'Why can't I hit her? It should be easy!'
'Ha-ha! Tough like, Al!' Elliot laughed in her head. 'A narcissistic pretty ninny like you is no match for Dawn!'
As Dawn continued dodging each of Alejandro's strikes someone watched from behind a tree.
'As Alejandro continues in his futile attempt to defeat Dawn, the Avatar of Luna I am here to observe the cast and watch for signs of hostile movement. In the time it takes for someone to even think of making a hostile move I am two steps ahead with my trusty spirit's power at my beck and call to help me stop all evil.'
"Will you shut up and just watch?!" Highlander grunted in annoyance.
Alejandro was beginning to get frustrated as he chased Dawn up and down the raft to knock her into the water but Dawn kept dodging and making it look so easy with her dancing.
"Will…you…please…just…hold STILL!?" Alejandro finally lost patience and started swinging wildly at Dawn, trying to catch up with her and knock her off the raft.
'Now.' Dawn closed her eyes as she swept her foot out, kicking Alejandro's foot as he chased her.
Alejandro yelped as he tripped forward and fell into the water. Almost everyone cheered as Alejandro hit the water and sharks circled around him.
"And Alejandro is out of the game!" Chris announced. "What an unexpected move from our new contestant: Dawn!"
"Now that is how you take down that turkey!" LeShawna cheered and clapped along with the others.
Dawn gave everyone a dramatic bow as she turned and faced Ezekiel who had freed Elliot during the whole spectacle.
"And Ezekiel saves Elliot, earning him a spot on the final two." Chris announced. "Now it's down to Elliot and Dawn."
"Crap." Gwen sighed. "I was hoping both of them would get into the finale."
"It would have been nice, even if it would be difficult to decide who to cheer for." Bridgette said in agreement.
"HELP!" Alejandro screamed as he swam onto the beach, chased by a shark.
"Oh, you're still alive. That's good." Chris commented as Alejandro ran up to him, panting as he fell onto his knees.
"Not a single bite on him. Crap." LeShawna muttered.
"I forfeit."
Everyone stared at Dawn as she walked over the edge and took one step forward.
"Dawn no!"
"There are sharks!"
"Someone stop her!"
Then to everyone's surprise a shark poked its head out of the water and allowed Dawn to step onto its head. Gwen had chuckle at the gobsmacked expressions on everyone's faces as the shark brought Dawn towards the beach, allowing to step onto the sand and walk up to the bleachers.
"Oooooooookkkkkaaaayyyyy." Chris said, unnerved as everyone else by what he just saw. "Elliot and Ezekiel are the final two!"

Gwen was taking a walk through the beach to get a few minutes of peace from not only the show but her other business. However she sensed the other Avatar nearby and decided reluctantly to seek them out.
'Now where is he?' Gwen thought.
"Holy crap!" Gwen jumped as she spun around and saw a teen around her age with spiky blonde hair and green eyes. He wore a pair of jeans and what looked like a Hawaiian shirt. "It's Gwen Rivers, Avatar of Andromeda, Heaven's Star…I knew we would probably meet but I was completely caught off guard by her appearing in front of me. I mean this is the same Avatar who wiped out an entire mansion of rogue spirits, survived a fight with Corin, the Masked Jungle Hunter, and even helped defeat Jack the Ripper. Needless to say, the fact that I am actually meeting her has left me speechless."
"Ah…hello?" Gwen said slowly, wondering if a screw was loose in this guy's head.
"Oh….I was speaking out loud wasn't I?" Tommy realized with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Are the Avatar Carlos sent to meet me here or not?" Gwen asked impatiently.
"Yes, I'm Tommy, Avatar of Highlander, the Immortal Blade." Tommy answered with a nod. "I got to say it's an honor to meet you. I've heard a lot about you."
"I heard." Gwen dryly replied. "Do you do that a lot?"
"Do what?" Tommy asked.
"Monologue out loud like that." Gwen clarified.
"Oh…Well, let's just say for my monologues I don't get invited to a lot of parties. And because of my friendship with Carlos, I was sent here." Tommy rubbed the back of his head.
"Really? You're friends with Carlos?" Gwen questioned.
"Yep." Tommy nodded. "We go back a long way. And it helps that Warhawk is an old associate of Highlander."
"I can imagine you being friends with Carlos." Gwen commented, seeing as how Tommy was just about as weird as both Carlos and Kurt. "So why'd he send you?"
"Oh, Carlos got a little….sidetracked and had to check out some weird things going on in Chicago." Tommy explained.
"Did he say what it was?" Gwen questioned.
"Nah, but it was probably serious." Tommy shrugged.

"What kind of carwash sprays ectoplasm all over a car?!" Carlos exclaimed upon seeing glowing car come out of the car wash. "I know I wanted a ghost car for my birthday but if they said no to me so what this guy do to get this?! His car will be able to go through walls thanks to that wash! That is so unfair!"
"Carlos, calm down!" Warhawk shouted. "This is not the time!"
"Fine but when we're done I'm lodging a protest!" Carlos pouted as a dark shadow appeared behind him.
"Hello Carlos."
Carlos turned around and saw… "A floating brain? Just when I think spirits just can't get any weirder."
"I too am Carlos." The large brain said. "And this is my son, Carlos Junior."
The smaller brain next to him had eyes on it, a poorly attempt to disguise itself and it babbled with a high pitch voice.
"We are all Carlos." The large brain said.
"….Neat." Carlos commented while taking a step back.
"Yes, neat." The large brain replied. "…REMOVE HIS BRAIN!"
"Say wha-AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! GET THE HELL OF ME! HEY, WATCH WERE YOU'RE POKING THAT THING! GET AWAY FROM ME!" The sound of chainsaws, torch welders, a large pair of scissors and Carlos screaming echoed throughout the car wash. "HOW THE HELL IS THIS FREAKING LEGAL?! I DEMAND TO SEE YOUR LICENSE!"
BOOM!
"IF THAT WAS MY CAR YOU'RE PAYING FOR IT!"
BOOM!
"OW! THAT WAS MY TORSO! I NEED MY TORSO!"
BOOM!
"Okay I did that on purpose just because I got use to all the explosions." Carlos said in a normal voice. "NOW GET THAT BIG SCOOP AWAY ME! MY BRAIN IS NOT ICE CREAM!"
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Xxx
"Great. How long before Carlos gets here?" Gwen questioned.
"I don't know but I think he might know." Tommy pointed over Gwen's shoulder.
Gwen turned around and groaned. "Not again."
"Hi, Gwenny!" Sitting underneath an umbrella on a beach chair was Kurt with a Coke can in his left hand. "Enjoying the scenery?"
"What are you doing? I thought you were going back to Canada when you dropped me off here." Gwen sighed.
"Yeah but with you this close to Nebula I figured it would be a good idea to stand by. You had my back in London after all." Kurt retorted with a smirk. "Besides with the kind of crap Carlos gets into he might be here in a few seconds or in a few years."
Gwen had to admit it was hard to argue with that logic. "Dawn's out and Elliot's all alone against Zeke."
"Then let's hope you'll get to help her out." Kurt reasoned. "This is it, Gwen. We can't let Nebula slip by us again. If the Red Marauder slips past us again it could very well be centuries before we pick up his trail again."
"Something tells me Carlos won't let that happen." Gwen remarked.
"You bet." Tommy nodded in agreement. "Carlos, the Avatar of Warhawk, the Flaming King of the Inferno and-"
"DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING ANOTHER STUPID MONOLOGUE!" Kurt's voice shocked not only Tommy but Gwen jumped when she heard Kurt actually shout.
In the entire time she had known him Kurt had never gotten angry or even raised his voice. He usually took things in stride with a smirk and made small jokes, even in serious situations that didn't warrant any kind of humor.
"I came here to relax-I mean help track down Nebula and the Marauder. Not get caught up in another of your silly monologues." Kurt quickly corrected himself. "So knock off the stupid rants and save them for when I'm not here."
"Yes sir." Tommy meekly nodded.
Gwen nodded as well, suddenly realizing that an annoyed Kurt could possibly be worse than a usual Kurt.
"Now then…" Kurt's smirk returned to his face. "Back to the show."

"Now that we have our final two," Chris gestured to Dawn and Ezekiel. "It's my pleasure to announce the Peanut Gallery will not be voting for the winner."
"Awww." Elliot groaned while Ezekiel sighed in relief.
"What?" Bridgette asked in shock. "But you said we were going to play a major role."
"Yep, just not in a vote-y kind of way." Chris replied with a grin. "Prepare to have your minds blown up with the most lethal challenge in Total Drama history."
"If Elliot gets hurt, Chris, I swear I will take one of those fire arrows and shove it up your-" Gwen started as she stood up.
"Whoa! Whoa! Let me finish! Elliot vs Ezekiel vs the VOLCANO!" Chris announced dramatically.
"That's it, I'm grabbing one of those arrows!" Gwen growled and Bridgette and Geoff quickly got up to stop her. "Oh come on!"
"Don't worry, Gwen. We won't let Elliot get hurt!" Bridgette exclaimed, trying to calm the Avatar of Andromeda down.
Gwen sighed but still glared at Chris who continued on. "Back in the day human sacrifices were tossed into a volcano to appease the Gods. Sadly, the lawyers won't let me use real people as sacrifices."
'Urge to kill rising.' Gwen thought.
"So Elliot and Ezekiel will have to make sacrifice stand ins using the island's most abundant resources." Chris pointed over to a pile of logs and pinapples. "Pinapples and drift wood. And to make it nice and symbolic you guys have to make dummies of each other to dump into the volcano. Now you each get to pick two helpers."
"Let me help. I owe you guys for the accident in Germany." LeShawna stood up. "And Dawn I'm sorry for the slap down. I got angry but that's no excuse."
"Apology accepted." Dawn nodded with a smile.
"Gwen?" Elliot asked.
"If she wants to help it's your choice El." Gwen stood up. "You know I'll help you."
"Okay, I pick Gwen and LeShawn!" Elliot nodded with a smile.
"I pick Bridgette and….Courtney!" Ezekiel answered.
Bridgette and Courtney frowned as they didn't want to help Ezekiel but stood up and walked over anyways.
"Okay, we have our helpers. Now Elliot and Ezekiel you have to stay on your mats and direct your helpers bring you logs, driftwood, and pineapples that resemble parts of your opponent. And to make things a little more rhyme-y…" Chris said as a certain bell dinged.
Ezekiel: Yo ladies,
Please head straight,
That's it,
You're doing great!
Search through that wood,
Tout de suite,
Find me some giant feet!
Elliot: Come on guys,
Move it fast!
Quick, quick,
I won't be last!
Grab logs to match his frame,
All scrawny and lame!
Elliot and Ezekiel: I'm gonna win it (Yeah!)
And you can't take it (No!)
I'm right here in it (Yeah!)
But you just fake it! (Oh!)
Courtney: Is this thigh fat enough?
Ezekiel: Uh-huh.
Elliot: Hey!
Harold: Gosh, is this neck thick enough?
Bam!
Now it's cool versus home school,
Elliot's cool but Zeke is sick and
All this aggro for the cheddar,
She'll put Zeke here through the shredder!
Ezekiel: That's it now, hurry back,
I need arms weak and slack,
Her butt is scrawny and flat,
And she ain't all that!
Elliot: Get me two knobby knees,
and arms like logs of cheese!
Bring me a big fat head,
move quicker!
Elliot and Ezekiel: I'm gonna win it (Yeah!)
And you can't take it (No!)
I'm right here in it (Yeah!)
But you just fake it! (Oh!)
Courtney: Arms so right, it's ill!
Worth one-fifth of the mil!
Ezekiel: I'll pay you back somehow!
Pineapple-head me now!
Elliot and Ezekiel: I'm gonna win it (Yeah!)
And you can't take it (No!)
I'm right here in it (Yeah!)
But you just fake it! (Oh!)
I'm gonna cash it (Yeah!)
You'll never hit it (No!)
You should trash it (Yeah!)
Cause I just did it!
"It's a tie!" Chris announced once the song was over.

"Okay, now I'm getting a bad feeling. Especially with the words 'Chris', 'volcano', 'sacrifice' and a few more words."

"Your next step is to haul your sacrifices to the top of Kilauea and toss 'em into the volcano, like so." Chris gestured to the top of the volcano where a worker in a bright yellow safety suit tossed a dummy in.
A second later he was caught in a backsplash of lava that proved that the suit was no help at all as the worker ran away charred and screaming.
"Yeah…You two might want to watch out for the backsplash…"
Elliot and Ezekiel looked at one another worriedly as they watched Chef wheel past the worker who was covered entirely in bandages in a wheelchair.
"You can't seriously expect us to throw these dummies into an active volcano without proper safety equipment, do you?" Elliot asked.
"This is why I didn't want you competing, El." Gwen sighed from the bleachers. "It just had to be this challenge."
LeShawna put a hand on Gwen's shoulder, understanding the Goth's worried state.
"No excruciating pain, no million dollar gain little girl." Chris gestured to the briefcase, which he held high above his head.
"To help you get those dummies to the top of the volcano, you can use the rewards your teams earned on your behalf in the Aftermath lava surfing challenge. Elliot won a stroller and Ezekiel won… zilch." Chris chuckled. "So Elliot gets a stroller to help her up the mountain."
"YES!" Elliot pumped a fist into the air.
"Ezekiel, for winning the first challenge you get a twenty second head start. So get going." Chris continued.
"Yo-yo, the Zeke is winning!" Ezekiel said as he ran off, not seeming to have any trouble carrying the dummy with both hands.
"Oh no you don't!" Elliot brought her sacrifice onto the stroller…only for it to be crushed under the dummy's weight. "AW COME ON!"
"Tough luck, El!" Chris laughed until Elliot stepped on his foot. "OW!"
"Serves you right." Elliot said as she lifted her sacrifice and ran after Ezekiel.
Ezekiel and Elliot ran up the volcano, both gasping for breath to try and win. However something halted them that turned out to be a river full of lava.
"Yo-ho!" Chris waved at them from the other side. "Over here!"
"YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" Elliot shouted.
"Check out the look on her face." Chris laughed as he and Chef' exchanged a high five. "The only way to the top of the volcano is past this river of lava. All you have to do is hop across these stepping stones. Easy-peesy-hot and cheesy."
'Must…resist…urge…to…kill him.' Elliot chanted over in her head.
"But we've rigged a few booby traps to..." Chris pointed above, showing them the large objects hanging above the lava river.
"Make things more interesting." Elliot finished with a glare.
"Chef, a booby demo if you please." Chris asked.
Chef cut one of the ropes next to him and a log fell onto the first stepping stone, shattering on impact and falling into the lava. Elliot gasped while Ezekiel's eyes widened with fear.
"Yeah, you really don't want to get hit by those." Chris stated.
"No duh!" Elliot grunted.
"Your helpers can either keep them secure or send them falling. It's your call. And…go!"
Elliot and Ezekiel swung their dummies over their shoulders and started across.
"Thank goodness for Avatar training!" Elliot thought as she leapt from stone to stone despite carrying a large wooden dummy on her back seemingly without any trouble at all. Her enhanced strength allowing her to carry the dummy easily.
"Chop away, ladies eh!" Ezekiel called out.
"Do we have to?" Courtney asked.
"Your choice." Chris shrugged.
Gwen darted forward and slashed a rope with a machete given to her, causing a cage to fall on Ezekiel, trapping him."Sorry Zeke!"
"OH COME ON!" Ezekiel shouted.
"Thanks Gwen!" Elliot hopped onto the other end and ran up the mountain.
Once everyone was gone Ezekiel smirked as a golden light surrounded him and the cage was lifted up, freeing him.
"Game's not over yet, eh." Ezekiel whispered as the cage was thrown into the lava.

"Tommy, something's happening!" Highlander shouted.
"Oh no. It's begun, the final climatic of this season to a close and with it the fate of the world will-" Tommy started running up the volcano.
"SHUT UP WITH THE MONOLOGUES!"
Xxx
At the top of the volcano, everyone was fanning themselves except Gwen and Dawn who looked quite happy where she was as the volcano's heat did not affect them thanks to a Cooling Method while Dawn just seemed content to standing on top of the volcano. Chris and Chef stood in front of a giant fan which was also surrounded by huge blocks of ice and an intern was holding one up in front of the fan to help keep them cool.
"Here they come!" Chris announced.
When they saw Elliot reach the top of the volcano first, they all cheered, except for Courtney, Heather, and Alejandro.
"I made it! I finally made it!" Elliot hoisted the dummy above her head.
"Go Elliot!" Bridgette jumped up and down.
"Looking for this?" Chris held up the briefcase and gestured to it.
"I guess." Elliot said as she walked over to the edge of the volcano. "After all this torture it'd be pretty cool to bring home some money for my parents. Maybe my daddy won't ground me!" She declared, hoisting her dummy high above her head and tossing it into the volcano.
"WOO HOO! SHE DID IT! SHE FINALLY DID IT!" Bridgette led the cheers.
"And Elliot is the winner of Total Drama World Tour earning a cool million dollars!" Chris announced.
"That's fantastic! We knew you could do it!" Cody cheered.
"Yes, yes, YES! I DID IT! I WON!" Elliot jumped up and down cheering with the briefcase held high above her head.
Gwen walked over to her and put a hand on her flow Avatar's shoulder. "El, you did great today! I'm so proud of you!"
"We all are!" Dawn put her hand on Dawn's other shoulder.
"Thanks you guys but I couldn't have done it without you -" Elliot was cut off when out of nowhere, there was a bright flash of light from inside the volcano.
"What the-" Gwen's eyes widened. "Zeke! Tommy was supposed to keep an eye on him! Something's gone wrong!"
