Episode 2: Alien Ressur-eggtion
"Last time on Total Drama Action!" The recap started with a long distance shot of the back of the film lot. A pair of hands clapped a film state. "Sixteen Teenagers," a clip of Chris arriving at the film lot, "One engaging host," one of the golden Chris statues was shown, "a dilapidated film lot," a clip of the warehouses, "and a whole lotta coin! Kaching!" the film strip with the chest of gold from the last recap was shown.
"Oh! And did i mention," the teens were running through a beach lot. "A remote controlled monster?" Chris chuckled. "I love this show."
"Some," Caleb and Ramona ran from the monster. "Fared better than others. Nick outlasted everyone and tricked the crap out of Chef. Nick was shown hiding from the monster. "And then Louis chowed down on fake food props," the fake spread was shown, "and scored the reward." Louis pulled a key out of his pocket, "first pick of the trailers!" The cast was shown looking at the two trailers.
"Shockingly," Chris said with a heavy dose of sarcasm, "Louis picked the one that was still intact. Then, his celebration was crushed," The monster was shown smashing the other trailer.
The recap ended and Chris was shown in front of the trailers. "Who will be one step closer to 5 million bucks?" Find out now on another thrilling episode of: Total!" the camera panned out. "Drama!" it panned out a little more. "Action!" the camera panned out to the long distance shot at the beginning.

The episode begins with a shot of the craft services tent, then flashed to the inside. Chef stood behind a counter and served Brenda some eggs and toast. She left with her food and Caleb and Louis showed up to get they're rations. The Camera panned left to show Christian, Faith, Garry, Nick and Chelsea. Christian and Faith were looking into each other's eyes, not realizing the other was doing it.
"Hey lovebirds," Garry called, "Don't hold up the line!" The two stopped staring and awkwardly stood there. Garry just rolled his eyes at them.
"More eggs and toast for me," Caleb said as the camera cut back to him. "Keep em Coming Chef," the cook growled and Caleb left with a confused look.
"Forgot how hungry i got last year eating on Chris's wrecked schedule," Garry commented as he stepped up to get his food.
"At least we can always count on Chef to deliver his," Nick started but then paused for a moment, "Unique food?"
Chef scowled at him. "Thanks, Nick," he said as he dumped the boy's food on the floor. The camera followed him as he walked over to Garry, who can barely contain his laughter.
"Nick," Chelsea said. "I'll give you some of my breakfast," she handed her tray to him with a smile.
"Thank you Chelsea," Nick said, returning the smile. "But I wouldn't feel right taking your food, he took on a blank face, "In fact, why do you wanna help me? We are competing against each other.
"Yeah," Chelsea agreed. "But i need to talk to you about something," She said nervously.
"Great," Garry groaned. "More lovebirds," Nick and Chelsea started sputtering, and Molly walked up behind Garry unbeknownst to him
"I know," she said, causing her boyfriend to jump. "Don't you just hate couples?
"Molly!" he yelled in surprise. "I was just-"
"Give them a break sweetie," she told him, noticing the look she got from Nick. "And save me a seat," She kissed him on the cheek and he blushed and groaned.
Confessional
Molly - It's so easy to mess with him.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
After the confessional, Jasmine was shown walking to Chef. "I'll take some food." she said plainly.
"Here ya go," Chef said as he handed her a bowl of something purple. "Bowl of prunes,"
"Not what I had in mind," Jasmine said in a disappointed tone.
XXXXXXXXX
Confessional
Jasmine - Seriously, the lack of options at this place is just sad, I had better food in the outback for crying out loud.
XXXXXXXX
The static ended with a sweeping shot of the two tables in the tent. The first one had Nick, Garry, Evan, Chelsea, Ramona Molly, Jasmine and Annie eating at it and the second table had Donna,Jonathan, Brenda, Louis, Christian, Faith, Caleb and Lamar.
"Welcome to day two!" Chris said as he entered the tent wearing a director's beret and ascot, "of Total Drama Action!" he clapped a film slate.
"Are you gonna do that every time?" Garry asked with annoyance.
"Yes," the host answered. "Yes, I will."
"Alright then,"
"Today's movie genre," the host explained. "Aliens!" The camera showed the intrigued looks on Evan, Garry and Nick's faces. "Our unpaid interns have been hard at work figuring out what makes an alien movie successful. Chef?
The camera cut to the cook who was mixing something in a pot as he explained, "You got three basic rules. Aliens wanna come take over the world and start making lots of alien babies. People fight back, then the military's called in. Yo Chris! Where's my paycheck at?"
The host balked for a moment. "It's in the mail," he said unconvincingly. Chef's glare intensified. "Today's challenge?" Chris continued as he held up a map that had two numbered points and a red X, "Find an alien egg and return to home base before Mama alien finds you. The two fastest gets to pick the teams this season."
"Sorry losers," Garry gloated as the camera cut to him, "But no one knows alien movies the way I do! The more obscure, the better."
"Really?" Molly asked with a smirk. "Is "Alien Chunks" obscure enough?"
"Is it obscure enough?" Garry asked. "That's my favorite alien movie of all time!"
"Eh, I'm more of an 'Adventures of Captain Sheppard' kind of girl myself," Except for the fourth one."
"Never pegged you for a reapers war fan," he told her.
"There's a lot of things you don't know about me," She said with a wink.

Confessional
Molly - And a lot of stuff I'm gonna have to tell him eventually….
XXXXXXXXX
"I dislike the modern alien movies," Evan added to the conversation. "The older ones were better, the effects were great, and they didn't overuse CGI,"
"I feel the same way," Donna said from across the room.
"Hey Chris!" Jonathan called out. "Who do you have playing the Mama Allien?
"You'll see," Chris said with a smile. The camera showed Chef in an alien costume. "You call that slime?" Chris asked in mild irritation. "Make up! More slime over here!"
The camera cut to Chef as more slime was poured over him. It zoomed in on him and he said, "I hate my life."
"Here are your GPS," The host said, tossing each castmate a device. "Complete with maps of the film lot. Find the alien eggs, but be careful, Because today, you're on chef's menu. Chef was shown giving a disturbing chuckle.
The camera flashed to the set of the challenge. It was a series of walkways and ramps straight out of a stereotypical science-fiction movie, all in varying shades of dull gray. The camera zoomed in and flashed again, this time to the screen of the GPS showing blinked red dots reminiscent of a radar before flashing again to Molly's determined face. The camera jumped to show the wary looks of, Louis, then Ramona, then an apathetic Jonathan.
"Follow me guys," Molly said. "I know these movies so I have a good sense of what to do, And if i fail then it's time for a rewatch,"
"How do you know so much?" Jonathan asked. "Did you watch these movies as a toddler or something?"
"I did actually," Molly answered. "I wasn't around very good influences as a kid," as the two walked off she added, "Even let me watch friday the 13th."
Ramona stopped at a door and shivered. "Do yall feel that?" She asked her companions. "It's like there's something in there, cold as ice, with no soul."
The camera pulled back to show Chris in a room full of monitors watching the scene on said screens. "Thanks," he said and laughed, "Now take this!" He pressed a button on the keyboard and the camera cut back to the four; and the steam jet that shot in front of Jonathan, causing him to jump in Ramona's arms. He smiled at her sheepishly and she shook her head with an amused smile.
XXXXXXXXX
Confessional
Ramona - What? It may've been cowardly but I'm not about to let him fall.
Jonathan - I guess a part of me still feels awkward around Ramona because of our fallout last season, Since the whole "stealing" thing was cleared up we're basically back to how we were.
XXXXXXXXXXX
The static cut to the device in Molly's hand. The camera then panned back showing the four previously seen cast members, then kept going to show Caleb, Jasmine, Annie, Evan and Chelsea.
"Ugh," Chelsea complained. "Why can't I find anything on this map?!" It must be broken. Jasmine, can I see yours?"
Evan turned around to face her, "Here take mine,"
"Well thanks for that," Chelsea said. "Looks like you'll actually be useful this season,"
"Says the girl who lost twice last season," Jasmine muttered under her breath.
Confessional
Jasmine - I can tell that Chelsea is trying to be nicer this season, but she still says things that annoy me, and everyone else. On the positive i'll probably only have to deal with her for a couple of challenges before she gets voted off.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The camera cut to Faith and Christian in a dark corner of the set. "Did you bring me here to kill me?" Christian asked with a smirk.
"N-no," Faith said nervously with a laugh. "I wanted to talk to you."
"Is it about me sitting alone in the monster challenge?" he asked planly. "Because i really didn't-"
"No, it's not about that," Faith admitted. "I wanted you to know that I like you, and i think you like me also,"
"Well, how could I not?" he asked. "You're one of the most awesome people i ever met,"
Faith blushed. "W-well i just wanted to let you know and," She interrupted herself by sneezing in to the side while Christian was about to kiss her, much to his shock.
XXXXXXXXX
Confessional
Faith - I was this close to solidifying my relationship with Christian, Stupid Allergies! Now that I know we like each other I guess there's no reason to rush into it.
XXXXXXXXX
The camera cut to all sixteen cast mates standing in as big as the GP'S lit up, indicating that something was near.
"Well," Christian said dryly. "Guess everyone lining up in a row was a bad idea," Who would've thought?" He said sarcastically.
"Dude, cool it with the sarcasm," Louis replied.
"Danger Danger!" A mechanical voice chanted, causing everyone to look afraid.
(Commercial Break)
The episode returned to the same chanting Mechanical voice and the camera centered on Brenda and Annie. "We have to get out of here!" Annie announced.
"Yeah," Garry agreed. "But where?"
"I'm thinking West," Annie said. "So that's where i'm going," She, Brenda, Donna and Garry took off on a downward ramp in front of them.
"Wait!" Molly called to her boyfriend. "The map says the boiler room is east of here and that's always where the eggs are,"
"But this is Chris," he shot back. "If we're expecting it, then he's gonna switch it up.
"I'll go with you," Faith offered as she, Christian, Lamar, and Louis joined Molly by going east.
XXXXXXXXX
Confesional
Garry - Alien flicks are similar to horror flicks, in the fact that the couples always go first. Molly's hot, but i'm not letting her get in the way of me winning five million big ones, no way.
XXXXXXXXXXX
After the confessional, Evan, Chelsea and Nick were shown left in the room. "You guys wanna work together again?" Evan asked. "It worked last time,"
"Fine by me," Nick shrugged.
A jet of steam came out of a pipe as Chef ran by it. He looked to the left and smirked.
The camera cut to Ramona, Caleb, Jasmine, and Jonathan on what looked to be a higher platform then earlier. "Well, we gotta get those things to stop beeping," Ramona announced. "Now what?" she was met with shrugs.
"I guess we keep going straight," Jonathan suggested as Chef lowered himself behind him…only to fall. "Did you guys hear that?"
XXXXXXXXX
Confessional
Jonathan - I may not be the strongest person here physically, but mentally I have an edge over the others. I also have incredible awareness.
XXXXXXXXXXX
Ramona, Caleb, and Jasmine looked around at the incredible arrival of Chef. Jonathan kept glazing around and the cook tapped him on the shoulder. Jonathan turned around only to face the barrel of Chef's paintball gun. "Say hello to eternity," said the cook as he shot Jonathan, then Ramona, Caleb and Jasmine. "That was too easy,"
"Yeah," Chris said irately from within the monitor room. "I agree. Looks like i do have to do everything around here." he put on a camo cap, looked in a mirror, smiled, and said, "I really should wear camo more often,"
The camera flashed to Evan, Nick and Chelsea running through the set. "How did he find us?" Evan asked.
"I don't know," Nick answered. "But we can't keep this up forever,"
"You can if he gets distracted," Chelsea told the boys as she slowed to a stop. "Now go!"
The camera cut to Chef running…only for him to stop. "Are you here to give up?" He asked. The camera zoomed out to show Chelsea standing in his way nervously.
"Yes,," she replied. "I'm here for a reason." She charged at the cook, the sudden attack stunning him long enough for her to connect with a shoulder to his stomach. He was pushed back a bit and scowled, then he raised his paintball gun to fire. She knocked the weapon from his hands before he could. The two starred each other down before running from the Chef.
Evan and Nick were watching with wide eyes. "Do you think she needs help?" Evan asked.
"Maybe not," Nick answered, "But we probably should anyway," The two looked at each other, then charged into the fray. Chef took a shot at Chelsea, but she ducked. Chelsea tried again to go for the paintball gun but was shot before she could reach it. The boys stopped at the sight of the shot Chelsea and Chef with the gun and ran away…only to be shot in the back.
The camera flashed to a shot of a GPS in Faith's hands, then cut to her, Louis, Lamar, Christian and Molly outside a vault-like door. The scene cut to the inside of a room as the door was opened and the four peaked they're heads inside, then switched perspective to show a pit full of alien eggs.
The camera flashed to Garry, Annie, Donna, and Brenda. Walking into a dead end room. "How did we end up here?" Brenda angrily asked.
"If we knew that," Garry answered. "We wouldn't be lost."
"Whatever!" Brenda cried. "I was just asking a question,"
The door behind them closed and Donna said, "Way to lead us into a trap guys!" The camera panned out to show slime pouring out of sprinklers.
XXXXXXXXXX
Confessional
Garry - Yeah so I lost the challenge, at least I was done with those annoying chicks.
XXXXXXXXX
The camera flashed to a pit of eggs, and the five teens standing over it. "I can't believe how realistic these eggs are," Lamar commented.
"Looks like we won the challenge," Louis said with a smile.
"Not quite," Christian replied. "We still need to get these eggs back to home base." Louis's face lost its smile.
"Someone lower me down," Faith said.
The scene skipped ahead to show Faith being lowered into the pit. She grabbed and egg and it broke. She growled in frustration and grabbed another one. The camera flashed again to show the five holding eggs.
Chef opened the door, and fired a shot at Molly and Louis, who fell over and dropped their eggs. "That sucked," she commented as the other three left the room. They Opened the door and ran out to into an old west street set, and skidded to a halt when they heard Chri's voice.
"Attention civilians' ' The host announced. The camera cut to him in the red helicopter as he continued, "the military is here to protect you! Unforutanly, we can't let you leave with any alien eggs!"
"But you told us to bring you the eggs!," Christian protested as Chef pointed his gun at Lamar
"I know," Chris said, pulled a lever in the copter, and dropped two bombs into the set.
"Scatter!" Lamar yelled, as he, Chef, Christian, and Faith quickly ducked from the blast. The bombs dropped and the resulting splatter managed to hit Chef's copter.
"Glad i don't have to clean it up," Chris chuckled.
The camera showed Lamar covered in paint. Christian and Faith walked up to him later, "Great!" Lamar exclaimed sarcastically.
"Sorry man," Christian put a hand on his friend's shoulder. "i'll be sure to pick you first for the teams,"
"It's fine dude," Lamar said, taking the hand off. Faith was shown smiling at the interaction.
Confessional
Faith - Lamar's cool, but he can be a bit of a jerk sometimes. On another note, I'm wondering if i should officially ask Christian out now, or wait until later or at the end of the game. I like Christian but not if he distracts me from winning five million dollars.
XXXXXXXX
"Christian," Faith said after her confessional. "Since we can't really win, can we finish our talk?'
"Before we do," he responded. "There's something I want to tell you,." He grabbed her hands. "Faith, I have liked you ever since we met. I knew that ever since we had our chat on the island, back in day one, that you were the woman for me. If you reject me, I completely understand and well still remain your friend, cause I'm truly at my happiest when I'm with you. Will you go out with me?"
Faith nodded shly. "I'd really like that, I was actually about to ask you that."
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Confessional
Christian - I realize that speech might sound familiar to some of you, it's because I kinda plagiarized it from an author. It'll be alright though cause I doubt anyone on this island even reads.
XXXXXXXX
"Well, that was a very romantic moment," Chris said as he parachuted down to the two. "You two gave it all you had, and it was nowhere near enough," Christian cut around and the camera cut to two eggs by the door they came out of, unharmed.
"I think you're wrong," Christian said as he and Faith ran past him and each grabbed and egg and ran to home base.
"You let them get the eggs?" Chris asked as he walked over to Chef, who was just getting up. "Do you have to screw up everything?"
"Maybe i'll do a better job," Chef said calmly, "when you GIVE ME MY MONEY!" Chris quickly fled the scene.
The camera flashed to home base, which was just the trailers. The fourteen that didn't make it to the final showdown stood, or sat around as Christian and Faith showed up with an egg in tow.
"We have our winners!" Chris announced as he walked on the scene. "Our only two winners. The rest of you totally sucked." The camera gave another pan across the losers. "As our winners, Christian and Faith will now have they're picks of the team this season. Which, in case you haven't figured it out, means our two new lovebirds will be competing against each other this season.
The newest couple's eyes widened at the thought, and the two looked at each other. "We can date and be in competition right?" Christian said nervously.
"Y-yeah," Faith said with more nevouses.
"Sure you can," Chris said mockinly. "after we vote someone off in the most thrilling gilded Chris ceremony yet," Everyone gasped. "Yep, of course Faith and Christian will be immune as team captains, but everyone else is fair game!"
(A grand theme played as the camera zoomed in on the amphitheater. Several film strips of the host highlights from the previous season flew past the screen, the the camera panned out from a solid gold screen to show a gilden Chris.)
The host walked across the theater stage with a blue tuxedo on. He walked up to the podium and said, "It's time to cast your votes. Under your seats," the camera showed everyone looking under they're seats, "You'll find your voting devices," The camera showed a close up of one in Caleb's hand, it had the faces of each contestant with a box next to it. "Just press the button of the person you want voted off,"
Caleb tried to look over at Jonathan's device and Chris continued. "Oh!" And no peeking or it's," he began to sing, "Na, na na na na, Na na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye!" Chef in a pink dress and hat was shown walking up with arms full of statues as the cast members laughed and the host continued, "The votes have been cast. If you get a gilded Chris, it means you're safe. For now. And the gilded Chris's go to…..Christian."
"Faith."
"Jonathan."
"Garry,"
"And, Jasmine."
"Donna, Brenda, and Ramona are also safe,"
"So is Louis, and Molly."
"Next is Caleb,"
"Chelsea, Evan and Nick, and last but not least…" The camera zoomed in on the nervous expression of Annie and Lamar.
"Annie!"
"Yes!" Annie cheered, then looked at the shocked face of Lamar and said, "Sorry."
"But why me?" Lamar asked.
"Because you're a threat," Chelsea said simply.
XXXXXXXXXX
Confessional
Chelsea - Lamar has the skills and the connections to get to the final 2, with Christian having immunity, this seemed like an obvious target from the Bass alliance to go home.
Annie - I had to agree with Chelsea, Lamar is the biggest threat here. He's probably the only one who could beat me in something physical.
Garry - This was a strategy vote for me, i wanted to get rid of Donna for personal reasons but i think i made the right choice.
Nick - The Bass Alliance is no more, i figured out pretty quickly that to make it far i have to cut all ties with them.
Jasmine - I Might regret it, but i trusted Annie more right now.
"Any last words?" Chris asked the eliminated player.
"Christian and Caleb," Lamar said to his friends. "Good luck guys,," with that the teen walked down the walk of shame and into the lameo-sine.
"Who will Christian and Faith pick for they're teams?" Chris asked the camera. "Will Chelsea continue to act nice? WIll Brenda finally mouth off to the wrong person? Tune in next time for another exciting episode of: Total Drama Action!
(Bonus Clip)
Lamar sat in the backseat of the limo. "Man.. I can't believe I got booted first," he said dejected.
"Well," a mysterious voice said in the front. "Maybe you'll do better next time,"
"You mean another season of this?!"
"Of course, Chris is making million off this show he'll probably never end it,
"Oh god," he said, disappointed. " I just really wanted to win this one."
A Camera zoomed in to show Lamar looking outside the window.

Author's Note: and that's the first elimination, i know it was kinda big on only a few characters but that's just the way it had to be.
Faith and Christian's arc may seem fast, but really they're whole relationship was already building up in Island, so now that Christian had the money there was no reason for him not to go for it.
Lamar's Elimination had to happen here. I knew I wanted a member of the bass alliance to go first and he was the only one without a plot.
Also if you're wondering, yes Allen and Erica will be the aftermath hosts. It's kinda obvious seeing as how they were big characters and I didn't put them on this season.
No Double Elimination was needed here since i already have my aftermath hosts.
