Episode 2 - Staying In Formation
New chapter! Sorry for not updating for so long, exams are coming up and I have to study!
...
The night came and Loro was pretty much asleep at this point. Tigre, on the other hand, were walking back to their cabin in shame.
James notices his electric guitar on the porch of Tigre's cabin, "Want me to play some songs? I mean..." he says nervously, "To relieve the tension?"
"No," Damien says, "If you play it I'm fucking breaking it." Aurora chuckles at this.
"Hey, stop it Damien!" Alice tells the boy. She looks to James, "I didn't know you played guitar..."
He shrugs, "Well...I do...and I sing too!"
Alice's eyes went wide, "Seriously? Do you wanna sing some songs tonight?!"
"Sure! Why not?! James says, smiling and feeling a bit more comfortable, "That's pretty awesome!"
James: (CONF.) Naru might be a little mad at me, but as long as there's someone who can sing with, things won't be so bad!
Naru was eyeing James, seemingly mad.
Naru: (CONF.) Call me petty, but I'm pretty mad that James sees me as not a leader, and Christopher as one instead. Christopher clearly doesn't enjoy any of us on the team and would most likely put us down whenever he wanted too, and that's not what I want! I WILL make a change for our team!
The team got to their cabin and got ready for bed.
Aurora was already in her sleepwear, wearing an oversized t-shirt and violet sleeping pants. As she passed Damien, who was watching the sky, Damien made a growl sound as if he was preying on her. Aurora ignored it, but the camera showed her to be smiling.
Aurora: (CONF.) Damien is rough...but...I like it.
Damien: (CONF.) That Aurora girl was really into me today...I wonder what she does anyway...
Christopher had went straight to sleep, but James was just leaving the boy's side of the Tigre cabin when he confronted Christopher, "Hi!" James said, carrying a bag of guitar playing things, "Wanna sing with Alice and I?"
But, Christopher just pushed James aside and slammed the door, leaving James a bit upset. James then went over to a big log near the cabins and started to set up his electric guitar. He saw Alice walking in, ready for singing, "Alice...you..." he chuckles, "You're ready, huh?"
Alice smiles, "Yeah...singing relaxes me when I'm stressed out...especially because of today...You know...," She starts, "How do you think we should get our team on top? Today wasn't too good for us and I don't want to lose again..."
James shrugs, "Who knows? Maybe something will spark up within us and we'll win one challenges...but for now...what do you want to sing? What music do you like?"
"Well," Alice starts, "The Orland Stepsiblings do pop and country so...not sure about that electric guitar so..."
"That's okay!" James says, putting his guitar down, "I like country music too! Hey, I've got a song idea? Ready?" Alice nods, and the two start to sing in the night, filling the island with their voices.
...
It was the next morning, and the teams were out enjoying the really nice weather that day. Team Loro was enjoying a breakfast provided by Jamie, Julie, Drew, and Falcao.
"Here we go everyone! I found us some leftover Jollibee chicken from yesterday's elimination! It's pretty good!" Falcao says, taking a seat to eat as well as draw the beach.
Falcao: (CONF.) The best thing about being on this show is being able to read, draw, paint, and all kins of other stuff! My family back home could care less about that stuff, so for now...things are good!
Jamie was groaning, "Falcao...why'd you have to wake us up so damn early to get chicken from Manny?! I'm so annoyed!" He throws his hand in the air, dropping all of the chicken that he was carrying onto the sand, annoying everyone, "Oops..."
Silver shook her head in disappointment, Sally stared at Jamie as if she wanted to strangle him, and Fredrick looked as if he really was going to strangle Jamie.
"I'm sorry guys I..." Jamie picks the chicken up from the sand and throws it at Sally's plate, "There! Doesn't look that bad!"
Sally reaches up and slaps Jamie's face, "Are you kidding me? You're serving me that shit?! No!" She grabs the dirty chicken and throws it at Jamie's face, making him fall over. Fredrick and Drew laughed out loud, making Jamie walk back to the cabins.
Drew rolls his eyes, "So overdramatic! He acts like he's cool and shit but really isn't!" This statement made most of the team laugh except for Silver, who was writing on her notepad.
She holds it up for the team to see, "You don't have to be mad at him. He just made a mistake!"
Falcao, who was looking out to the ocean, drawing, said, "We can be mad when we want to! He's too irresponsible!"
"I agree...elimination fodder..." Sally mumbles.
Silver shakes her head, and writes something down, "Don't say that! Jamie may have had some bad encounters with us, but that doesn't mean he's all that bad!" Then, Fredrick stood up, grabbed Silver's notepad, and ripped out the page, crumpling up the piece of paper and throwing it out to the ocean. Silver seemed horrified.
Fredrick handed back the notepad, "For you...Silent One..."
Silver: (CONF.) *with paper* Fredrick scares me...
Fredrick: (CONF.) I hate those types of people who try to be nice and shit for those who clearly are fuckers! Gosh, I can't wait to take some of these dumbasses out!
Julie comforted Silver, "It's okay Silver, he's mean...typical for boys I guess. Don't worry though, I'll help be your friend and lay when you need me!" Silver nodded and smiled, happy to have someone there for her.
Julie: (CONF.) It's clear that Fredrick is a terrible person, and I honestly want to kind of get all the outcasts of our team to and together and heath those enemies!
Loro disbanded and went about for the rest of the morning. Sally was practicing martial arts on a tree, Julie and Silver were taking photographs, Falcao was still drawing the ocean, Jamie was in the cabins, and Fredrick and Drew were talking.
The camera moved onto Team Tigre, who were spread out on the beach. You could hear Alice and James singing along to country songs her the place that they hung out at last night, leaving Damien annoyed.
"Grrr...why are those two idiots singing? It's annoying!" Damien groaned.
Aurora, who was sitting next to Damien, nodded, "I agree. I mean...they seem like allies already...kind of dangerous if you ask me..."
Damien nods as well, "Yeah. But I'll make sure they keep their distance. The only good music out there is rock and metal music. The good shit!"
"Seriously?!" Aurora says, "You like rock and metal?!" Damien nods, "Same!" Aurora happily says, "How cool is that? We should chill one day or something...annoy everyone with how loud our music is!"
"True Aurora...you're pretty cool," Damien says, making Aurora blush, he leans into her, asking, "Tell me some more things about you..."
Aurora smiles and looks down, thinking, "Well, I'm pretty rich...straight A's in school...super popular and...yeah..." she sighs, "That's it."
Damien was confused, "That's it? You're that shallow? Come on...tell me the real you...behind all that privilege!"
Before Aurora could speak, Naru came up to them, "Hey guys, I want to start a team meeting by the ocean. So, get over there now." She then leaves, with Aurora standing up.
"Are you ever gonna tell me about yourself Aurora?" Damien asks.
She chuckles, "Not until you tell me about yourself first," and they both headed for the meeting.
Team Tigre's meeting started, with Naru as the head of it, "Okay guys, as argued yesterday, I will take charge for the team, any complaints?" She glares at James, who seemed as if he wanted to say something, "Good! So I guess it's settled then!"
"Shut up..." Christopher mumbles, but Naru heard him.
"Um, excuse me Christopher, do you have something to say to the team? Don't keep secrets...that's a bit...evil, I suppose."
Christopher shakes his head, "Sorry Naru...I don't."
Naru then nods, "Alright, so for today's challenge, we need to strategize beforehand. We need to decide who are the brains, and who are the browns. So, it's pretty obvious to say that I am a brawn. Now, what about everyone else?"
Damien speaks up, "Brawn. I've been in street fights before..." he shows off his scars, "Not embarrassed about them, you can touch 'em too!" Everyone seemed disgusted except for Aurora, who was shocked.
"Wow Damien..." Aurora mumbles, "You're such a fighter!" Damien nods and smiles too.
Damien: (CONF.) This Aurora girl is pretty cool!
Aurora: (CONF.) Damien seems like he's super tough, and I actually really like that! He's so different from the people I've met in the past!
"Moving on!" Naru exclaims, "I say that Christopher, Damien, and I are brawn while Alice, James, and Aurora are brains. Fair deal, right? Okay, meeting adjourned!" Naru heads towards the ocean, "Have fun!"
James and Alice stand up, "I agree with Naru!" James says.
Alice chuckles, "Me too! I could never be a brawn!" The two went back to the cabins, with Aurora feeling a bit annoyed of her placing. She went up to Naru, who was swimming.
"Hey Naru, can I talk to you?" Aurora asks.
She nodded in response, "Sure Aurora, what's up?"
"Um..." Aurora asks, "Could you let me switch groups to be with the brawns? I'm telling you, I'm tough!"
Naru immediately shook her head, "Nope! Too bad sissy, but we can't have a non-team leader make the shots! Because if so, then what would be my purpose?"
"You could be the overseer or something, I don't know! I just don't want to be with Alice and James!" Aurora raises her voice, seemingly angry.
Naru then pointed her finger at Aurora's nose, "Don't raise your voice at me Aurora!"
"I'm not!" Aurora yells even louder.
"Then you will not be messing with me or my leadership, got it?!" Naru yells back.
"Hey! You two! Come on back to the beach!" Manny yells to Naru and Aurora, "The challenge is about to start!"
The two girls stood there for a little bit, but Naru eventually ant back, with Aurora following.
Naru: (CONF.) Being a leader a'int easy!
...
The two teams were set and ready for the challenge. They all noticed 6 stations that contained a long piece of wood that connected two ladders and something underneath the wood - ranging from dirty mud, seawater filled with eels, and a hot pit of lava.
"Hey everyone, how are you all doing?!" Courtney asks.
Drew grinned at seeing Courtney, "Great now that I've 'come' here!" Fredrick sacked his shoulder, laughing in unison.
"What?" Julie asked.
Sally sighed, "It's okay Julie, you don't need to know..."
Manny seemed annoyed, "Okay, so today's challenge is in three parts all centered around one theme - 'Staying In Formation!' Each team will have to walk the wood and get to the other side TOGETHER! The team that makes it through the stage first wins a point, and will continue until we see who won the most points. So, are we ready to go?"
"Okay Tigre, let's win this!" Naru yells, with some cheering.
Sally looked to her team, "Alright, I'll stay behind to make sure no one falls. I've got good catching skills if anyone falls out. Who wants to go to the front?"
Drew raises his hand, "Yeah, as long as I get to be at your back!" He laughs again along with Fredrick, leaving Sally pissed off.
Drew: (CONF.) It's casual flirting! How bad could it be?!
Sally: (CONF.) I really do hope that Drew falls in that pit of lava when we get to it! That way, he won't have to bother our team anymore!
Jamie chimes in, "I'll go in the front! Maybe sabotage the others while we're at it!"
Fredrick mumbled, "As if you'll actually do that..."
Manny then blows the horn, "Let's do this!" And the team started climbing the ladder to cross the pit of mud.
...
The cameras looked to Team Loro, who started off as fast as they could.
Jamie, who was leading his team, "Let's go! We got a team to beat!" He helps carry Drew, Silver, Julie, and some others up, starting to walk the plank, "Urrgh, kinda hard, huh?"
"You didn't notice that it would be hard already?" Christopher asked. Jamie shrugged and looked to Team Tigre, who were lagging behind.
Jamie: (CONF.) Maybe now I can prove how bad I can be to the other team!
Jamie walked as he yelled to the others, "Hey, seems as if you guys can't win with all that shit on your team!" He points to Damien, who immediately turned infuriated.
"What the hell did you just say to me?!" Damien asked, trying to jump off the wood to get at Jamie.
Aurora was trying to hold his back, "No Damien! Relax! Focus on our team! It's more important!"
"That's what I like, teamwork! Thanks for doing what you need to do, Aurora!" Naru cheered, with Aurora chuckling back.
James looked to everyone in front of him, "Are we going to hurry up? Team Loro are still ahead of us! Christopher! Move faster!"
Christopher grunts, "Shut up! Leave me alone!" He kept moving.
James: (CONF.) What's up with Christopher? He's acting so distant today! Urrgh!
Naru was dragging Damien by his shirt, "Dude! Move on!" Aurora tried to help, but didn't seem to be trying that hard.
Damien snarled at Jamie, "I'll fucking kill you!"
Jamie chuckled, but seemed nervous, "Oh...oh yeah! Come at me bro!"
Jamie: (CONF.) Um...is he actually serious about killing me?
Jamie made it past the dirty mud obstacle, cheering. He helped with getting some others off of the wood, as Loro cheered for getting a point first.
"Congrats Team Loro!" Courtney cheers, "You've won the first point!"
Sally hi-fives her team, "We did it! Nice Jamie, your pretend evilness actually worked in our favor!"
Jamie smiled, "Please Sally, I am as evil as it can get!" But, he didn't notice Damien tackling him with a knife, "AHHH!" Jamie screamed as he fell over. Manny and Courtney were shocked as Damien punched Jamie over and over again, preparing to stab him with the knife. Luckily, Sally and Christopher pulled Damien off of Jamie.
"What are you doing?!" Christopher yelled, seemingly horrified at Jamie's actions, "Do you not know how wrong this is?!" His voice boomed, making everyone quiet.
Damien sat there, his feet crossed. Drew slowly takes away the knife and puts it away in his pocket.
Sally groaned, "Really Drew? Did you give him the knife?"
Drew chuckled, "No! Dude, we're not even on the same team! How could I have possibly give him my knife?!"
"Maybe you're betraying our team and helping Damien kill everyone on the island!" Julie answered, with Silver agreeing.
"Shut up Julie!" Drew responded. He looked to Falcao, and winked, "Hey Falcao, can you please prove why I'm right and Sally's wrong...my beautiful falcon?" He winks, making Falcao feel weird inside.
Falcao blushed and spoke, "I...I...I agree with Drew. Damien possibly could have stolen one from Manny or someone else, who knows?" Sally rolls her eyes and walks off while Drew smiles back.
Manny shakes his head, "No one cares, okay? I actually thought the drama was gonna turn into murder!" He points to the next obstacle that the teams had to cross - seawater, "Are you ready...get set...go!" And the teams moved on to the next part.
"Come on Tigre, be fierce!" Naru yelled, trying to not fall into the water filled with eels. Aurora growled like a tiger, laughing along with Naru, "Thanks Aurora for the growl! Being a part of the fun?!"
Aurora nodded, "Yup!" She looked to Damien and helped him along so that he wouldn't be distracted by Jamie.
Alice was shivering, "Oh..." as she looked down at the eels, "This is so scary..."
James held her from behind, "Relax! As long as you don't look down, things won't be so bad!"
"Really, Captain Obvious?!" Alice says, smiling as she looked behind, "I can handle myself!"
"Okay then!" James said, letting Alice go. All of a sudden, he slipped on the wood and was caught by Christopher from behind. He was now dangling on top of the water, with the eels getting more excited, "Oh NO!" Christopher tried to hold him up, with Alice being the only one coming to his aide.
"Someone help!" Alice yelled. She looked to Christopher, "Come on Christopher, I'll help!"
"No! I can do it on my own!" Christopher slowly gets James up, making sure he was okay, "Dude...you scared me."
James seemed still nervous, but nodded, "Thanks Christopher...I thought that you'd let me fall in there..." He looked to Naru, Damien, and Aurora were already done with crossing the wood, but the other three members of Tigre were still on the wood.
The cameras looked to Team Loro, who were all running onto the ground without falling over. They all cheered.
"Woohoo!" Julie cheered, "Take that, other team!"
Fredrick laughed, "Yeah, what that little girl said!" Drew and Falcao laughed along with Fredrick's mean words, leaving Julie and Silver annoyed.
"Thanks for the encouragement, Fredrick!" Julie, "You're exactly the kind of teammate and person who would win Total Drama!"
"Yep, that's me!" Fredrick said back.
The rest of Tigre got back to where they needed to be, all disappointed.
"Sorry everyone...it was all my fault!" James moaned, "Guess I'm gonna get eliminated..."
Alice was shocked, grabbing his shoulder, "No you won't! I'm not letting you leave!" She looks to Manny and Courtney, "Please Manny! Let us have one more chance! There were supposed to be three parts to the challenge, so why waste the last?!"
"Don't do it!" Falcao yelled, "They don't deserve it!"
"Shut up Falcao, come on! I'm with Alice!" Naru yelled. Falcao rolled her eyes at Naru, but ignored it eventually.
Manny, feeling a bit pressured, shrugged, "Okay then! Whoever wins this lat wood-crowing obstacle will win the challenge as a whole! So Team Loro, those past wins mean nothing now!"
Fredrick growled, pointing to Alice, "You're fucking kidding me, right? We already won but you want a fair chance? You're so gonna get some karma thrown at you!"
James held Alice, "Shut up Fredrick, as if you're really trying right now!" Fredrick's eyes made it seem as if he was getting annoyed, but calmed down, going back to being with Drew.
Manny blew the horn again, beginning the last challenge of going across a hot pit of lava, "Last one, let's go!"
Jamie started a chain for Team Loro as he held onto Silver, who held onto Julie, who held onto Drew, and so on. They moved slow, unlike Team Tigre who moved as fast as they could. Christopher was in the front, not watching out for everyone. He moved swiftly on the wood, as if he was trained at doing this. Naru was holding onto Aurora and Damien, who both seemed worried about the lava. Alice and James held on together too, behind their team.
Then, Naru felt a tug on her hand and fell off the ledge, quickly caught by Aurora and Christopher.
"Oh shit! Help! Get me up!" Naru moaned, vigorously shaking.
"Well, if you keep shaking, I can't help you!" Aurora groans. Damien stepped back for a minute to let the situation handle itself. The cameras looked to Team Loro, who were getting tired of holding to each other from the lava that was underneath them.
"Urrgh...so...hot!" Falcao groaned.
Drew snickered, "Yep, you sure are!" Falcao rolled her eyes but laughed along with Drew. Then, Falcao tripped on the wood and fell over, being held over by the lava by Drew, who was hanging on, "Oh my...Drew! Get me up!"
"I'm...trying but...you're so heavy!" Drew moaned. Fredrick ignored them as Sally and Silver went to help.
Julie, who had crossed to the other side with Jamie, pointed to here team, "Come on team! Let's get this over with before the other team beats us!" Jamie screams to cheer on Team Loro too.
Naru was starting to slip as the heat was becoming unbearable.
Soon, Aurora lost her grip as well as Christopher's and Naru fell into the lava, immediately getting burned by it, "AHHH!" Hot! Too hot!" She started running around in it, not sure where to go.
Christopher looked to everyone, "Run to the end. Now!" Team Tigre tried to run off, but it was too late, for Team Loro had helped Falcao up much faster and made it to the end already, "Damn it!" Christopher yells, putting his hands in his face, disappointed at the loss.
Naru soon got out opt the lava, falling to the floor, tired from the challenge.
"Another loss, huh..." Alice sighs.
Damien chuckles, "Yep...it's all going down now."
Manny shook his head, "Well Team Tigre, that last round was pretty useless, because you still lost! Get ready for tonight guys...one of you is going home tonight!"
...
(Cabins)
Meanwhile, at the cabins, Team Tigre was intent on deciding who would go home.
Naru, standing on buckets of cold water, pointed at Christopher, "If you had kept being stronger, I wouldn't have fallen into the lava and we wouldn't have lost! It's simple! Eliminate Christopher!"
He stands up, "What?!" Christopher responds, "Why not blame Aurora too? She was helping me and we both failed!"
Aurora then spoke up, "Guys, stop! We need to like...not be so mean to each other and understand what our team leader says...we messed up!" She puts her hands by her hips, "As a team...we failed."
"That wouldn't have happened if we strategized," Alice adds in, who was next to James.
James talks, "Honestly, this elimination is gonna be hard...there wasn't jut one person to blame really..."
Naru nods and walks off, "Well...you guys know what to do..." she looks to Aurora for longer than needed, and heads off back to the cabins to rest her feet.
...
(Elimination Ceremony)
Manny walked up to Team Tigre who were surrounding the campfire for the second time. He sits next to them and holds out a plate of Jollibee chicken to pass out to those who were safe, "Alright, we've voted, right? I wanna get this over with right now...pretty interesting vote! So, the people getting some chicken include...
...

...Damien! Alice!

Christopher! So, Naru, sadly, you will have to leave tonight! Courtney will help you to the Bee Boat of Shame!"
Naru seemed shocked at the results, but looked down at the ground as she headed off with Courtney to the Bee Boat.
"You did great Naru!" Courtney cheers, "You were a great team leader for two days and maybe they'll realize how much of a mistake it was to lose you!"
"Yeah...I guess you're right...we'll see though..." Naru silently says as the boat leaves the island.
Manny looks to the camera, "Crazy day, huh?! Lots of drama from Team Tigre once again that has caused them to lose twice already! Will they come back up from this? Find out next time on Total Drama Panganib Island 2!"
...
Aurora: (CONF.) Step one to sabotaging someone...make them think that you're on their side and backstab them when things look bleak. It's simple! If you try to cross me...*punches hands* They're gonna get it!

Hey guys, I hope this long chapter makes up for me not updating in a week! Exams are next week so I have to take my time when updating in the near future! Here are some questions I hope you could answer in a review instead of a poll...
1) Who was your star character for this episode?
2) What did you like about the episode?
3) What do you think will happen next for some characters?
4) What should I work on for the future? (Characters, plot, etc.)
