"Last time on Total Drama: Action!" Chris begins with vigor before explaining: "Our two teams fought in a 2-parter hair raising horror movie challenge that left everybody, including the interns, screaming. Bowie was determined to throw the challenge for his team to give MK the boot, but Wayne and Zee had other plans. Moo'd off the Stage looked worried when Scary Girl cost them the first reward part of the challenge by screaming at the sight of a pop-up Zee. You just can't make this stuff up! In the end, Scary Girl made a comeback by knocking the interns out of her house with a surprisingly unconventional method for her standards. Despite MK being worried about her team's elimination, she fretted for nothing: as the twist allowed the members of Moo'd off the Stage to vote off a member of the Venomous Victors! Not only that, but she now has access to everyone's confessionals! And with that, Zee was sent home on the red carpet of shame due to Julia's trauma."

"What secrets will be revealed this episode? Find out right here, right now, on TOTAl. DRAMA: ACTION!"

The theme song plays and ends.

The camera pans between the four trailers of each team before zooming in on the Venomous Victors' female trailer.

Axel is zoomed in on as she is sound asleep holding her stuffed crocodile with the signature eyepatch, "No… Don't eat my brains… Hehe, it tickles… OW!" She screams as she begins freaking out as her plush crocodile gets thrown onto the floor.

"Huh…" She begins to wake up, as she realizes where she is and her eyes shift towards the floor, "NOOOOO!" She yells as she dives towards it and takes it off the ground.

"Yikes!" MK shouts as she flinches awake before whispering angrily, "... What are you doing?"

Axel grabs the plush and sighs, "Phew... only touched the ground for a moment there! Saved it."

MK wanders over in her pajamas as she yawns, "It's just a stuffed doll, what's the issue?"

"This is not just ANY stuffed doll, it's patchy the zombie butt kicking pirate!"

"I'm pretty sure that can get you sued for copyright infringement." MK snarks without putting much effort into tonality as she rubs her eyes, "And isn't it a liiiiittle?"

"Yes?" Axel interrogates her intensely as she leans forward.

"I mean, I don't know about you, but I stopped playing with dolls at like 8." She explains nonchalantly, "I got into pick-pocketing and scamming people on Crugslist around that time."

"If you're implying that it's childish then you'd be wrong, MK! He's actually pretty cool."

"Mmhm, totally."

"It has an eyepatch!"

"Not buying it."

"And look at the rough stitching, it's - COOL!" Axel exclaims in desperation, sounding like she's also trying to convince herself, "Whatever, it's fine." She then tucks it into her back pocket, "We can all be friends… I mean, you can like, tag along with us… if you want."

Axel in the confessional: "I may seem like the COOLEST girl of all time!" She exclaims before crossing her legs and sitting in silence for a moment, "And we're gonna keep it that way!"

MK responds sarcastically, "Final three with you and a non-sentient toy? Sounds like a good deal."

Axel covers the ears of her toy, "SSSHHH! I haven't completely ruled out the option that he might be sentient."

MK in the confessional: "Last night I searched through everyone's confessionals." She explains quietly before making a devious smirk, "And it looks like I've found out a lot of useful information about my fellow competitors. Bowie was trying to throw the challenges to boot me off, pfft, obvious! But what's not as obvious is Axel… I haven't been able to figure out why she trusts me so much since she doesn't really seem like the type. Turns out that she was raised in the woods by wolves or something and then an angel came down from heaven and it was me… Okay, I might need to watch the confessionals a few more times: it was late!"

The camera swaps to 7 of the remaining contestants in the craft services tent, with Lauren and Caleb nowhere to be seen. Axel and MK have just gotten their food from Chef and are heading to sit down.

Axel leans over to Nichelle as she's eating, "Hey! That's not how you use a spoon!"

"Um… and how exactly is the right way, oh wise zombie princess?"

Axel grabs her spoon swiftly as Nichelle lets out a, "Hey!"

"Watch and learn…" Axel squeaks out quietly as she pulls back the spoon, ready to fire some of Chef's slop at whoever comes through the door next, "Ready… steady…"

Caleb's voice can be heard speaking as he and Lauren enter the tent, "And that's why I will NEVER use hotel shampoo again - AUGH!" He yells as the food gets launched into his face, causing Lauren to clap.

Nichelle giggles before taking the spoon back from Axel, "Thanks! Now I know how to use these as a weapon!"

Nichelle in the confessional: "Not only do I have amazing action star skills, but now I can use common eating utensils as weapons too!" She cheers with excitement as she moves around animatedly, "Maybe other players besides Julia can actually be cool and useful…"

Caleb wipes the grime off his face to reveal an angry grimace.

Caleb in the confessional: "It gets harder and harder every episode to keep my act up when these fools keep testing my patience."

Lauren giggles as she takes a bit of the gruel from his face and eats it, "The pain makes this food a lot more tolerable!"

She then flutters past the tables, looking like she's floating as she skips on air, "Hey Julia! You're looking really… scareable, today."

"Thank you, I exfoliated last night… Now how about you get LOST?!"

Julia in the confessional: "This indie-music listening creepy lolita goth doll thinks she can just betray me and then be all buddy-buddy? NOT on my watch!"

Lauren makes a menacing looking face at Julia as Caleb wanders over looking worried, "Oooh, you should not have done that."

Julia responds with her valley girl tone, "What's she gonna do? Play Felony Nartinez greatest hits album?"

Lauren looks angrier and angrier before she just skips away.

"Yeah that's right, you better stay away!"

Lauren in the confessional: "With Zee being eliminated, I feel completely liberated! It took all my willpower to not bite Julia's head off, but she'll get what's coming to her."

Just then, Chris walks into the tent and begins speaking, "Good morning movie stars in the making! I hope you're all sore and screamed-out from the last challenge, cause you won't wanna make much noise in this one!"

"It's not another farting challenge is it?" Damien asks with half sarcasm and half concern.

"Sadly, that one didn't go over so well with our audience last time. Who knew! I'm very excited for today's movie genre challenge, but Chef is even MORE excited! So I'll let him take it from here!"

Military marching music begins playing as Chef stomps out from behind the counter, "Left, right, left, right, left, right!"

Wayne shouts, "Awesome! It's a military movie challenge! TEEEEN, HUT!" He exclaims as he gets up and salutes.

Chef laughs before speaking, "Sadly Wayne, it's not a military movie challenge… Chris said it would be too on the nose!"

"Aaaaw…"

Chris shrugs, "I decided to let Chef use some of his military training for old time's sake, but the network said the military is too much of a touchy subject, so we're going with zombie movies instead!"

"YEEEEEEEEEEES!" Axel screams as she pumps her fist in the air, bringing her shovel out as well, "I will destroy any undead or alive person who gets in my way for this one!"

MK shrugs and turns to Bowie, "I'm not even gonna try and bring her back from this one. At least we'll probably win, right?!" Which causes Bowie to cross his arms in disappointment.

"That's right!" Chef responds, "Axel will probably have an unfair advantage for this one. Moo'd off the Stage are gonna have a tough time beating the Victors."

Nichelle and Damien look a bit worried as Julia looks unimpressed.

Chris pipes up, "Yeah, you're right. It would be a bit of an unfair advantage: which I love… but it'll be an unfair advantage for ONLY Axel, as the teams are now MERGED!"

All of the contestants gasp except for Julia, MK, and Lauren.

Caleb begins sweating, "Oh, c'mon, can't we keep the teams for just one more episode?"

"Yeesh, finally!" Julia exclaims before looking nervous.

Julia in the confessional: "I've been seriously looking for an excuse to get away from Scary Girl, so that's a plus! The downside is that I actually felt like I had a decent position on my team. If we lost again, then I could just ditch Damien and Scary Girl! I mean, just look at the other team: who do I have to ally with? One of the dumb hockey guys, the screaming zombie freak, some evil pickpocket rat, and BOWIE!" She then feels around her back pocket, "Wait… where's my third phone?"

Chris continues, "And since the teams have merged, you can feel free to inter-team mingle more often now: including with the new trailers! One for the guys, and one for the gals!"

Damien cheers, "YES! WOOHOO! CALEB CAN EAT SOMEONE ELSE'S TOOTHPASTE FOR A CHANGE! UH-HUH, IN YOUR FAaaaace… Caleb."

Damien's cheer goes quieter and quieter as he notices Caleb with crossed arms and narrow eyes.

"Sorry, buddy. I'm just a big fan of toothpaste… Hehe."

Caleb's eye twitches as he looks away, "it's fine, bro. I'll just eat someone else's toothpaste."

Caleb in the confessional: "I'm used to being worshiped back home for being good at, well, everything! But being a buffoon seriously has its downsides… How do ugly and dumb people do this?"

"Axel isn't the only one with zombie experience here!" Wayne exclaims as he stands atop his chair.

Julia squeezes out in disapproval, "Whaaaat is he doing…?"

"If anybody needs help in the challenge, just go to me, or my buddy Axel!"

MK retorts, "Pfft… who said she was your buddy?"

Wayne ignores and continues, "I have plenty of experience in the Walkers Are Alive video game and television series, so I know all about zombies! And Axel, has a shovel!"

Despite the praise, Axel looks displeased: "Walkers Are Alive is the most BASIC zombie series of all time. I mean c'mon, where are the laser powers? The echolocation? The machine parts?"

"Uh, well, I know that they like… eat brains and move slow and stuff." Wayne responds with innocent confusion as he scratches his head.

Axel gets up to stand on the opposite stool of Wayne, "Well, if you want to get your brains blasted out by zombies, then go with Wayne all you guys want. I'll be sticking to it alone!"

MK gets up and whispers to her, "Uh, you're gonna let me tag along though, right?"

Axel nods in confident reassurance before the camera pans to Wayne with a look of despair.

Wayne in the confessional: "With my hockey team back home, I'm used to being large and in charge. And last season too, people trusted my leadership skills once they got to see them in action! But without Raji, I guess I'm not as much of a team player as I thought I was… Axel and MK never listen to me at all! Zee listened to me but now he's gone..." He finishes with a sign.

"I'll go with you." Nichelle says happily as she walks into frame near Wayne, which cheers him up.

Julia drags her away as she yells, "YAI-"

Julia whispers to her with force, "Going with the hockey guy is gonna get you killed. Stay with me, I'll keep you safe."

Nichelle in the confessional: "I'm not so sure about that… If it came down to it, she'd probably shove me in front of a zombie."

The camera swaps to all 9 contestants standing in an open field with Chris and Chef, surrounded by a forest on all sides. Chris begins announcing, "Welcome movie stars!"

Nichelle claps and jumps up and down, "He's talking about me!"

Chris looks unimpressed and irritated, "Nichelle, PLEASE refrain from showing significant signs of joy right now. Thank you!"

Nichelle begins again, "But-"

"ZIP IT, SOLDIER!" Chef commands as he brings a frying pan out.

Nichelle straightens up, "Uh… sir, yes sir!"

Chef coughs and then, "Mmhm… sorry. I'm just having a bit too much fun reconnecting with my roots, hehe."

Chris announces once again, "In one moment, Chef will give an example of the ways you can kill a zombie! But, a former contestant was really excited to help demonstrate, so, without further ado: Shawn!"

Everybody sits in silence for a bit before Chris continues, "Ahem… I said, SHAWN!"

"Oh- my bad!" A voice pipes up from the top of a tree. The camera pans up to show a scruffy looking guy in outdoor-sy looking clothing and a long beard.

Shawn jumps down from the tree, "Hey guys, it's me, Shawn!"

Most of the contestants stay completely silent and look anti-thrilled as Axel's eyes light up.

"Um… from Pahkitew Island? I WON the season!?"

Julia gets out another one of her phones from her pocket and begins texting, "I mean, I know who you are… but I'm not impressed."

Shawn walks over to Chef and Chris and looks defeated, "Ah c'mon, I don't even have one fan?"

MK looks at the standing mad woman next to her as she drools, "Just give it a few… one, two, three…"

Axel begins yelling, "Shawn! You are like the BEST competitor of all time on Total Drama! I love how you took out the Chris bots in that one episode! Total husband material."

"Um, excuse me?" Julia asks in confusion and disgust as she looks up from her phone.

"Who is this guy?" Damien questions as he looks at the scruffy man, "Did he really win a season?"

Axel comes over and points threateningly at Damien, "Yes, and it was TOTALLY deserved!"

Bowie looks at his nails in boredom as he pipes up quietly, "Sky should have won, but whatever…"

Chris begins yelling, "Enough discussing the crumminess that is Shawn!"

"Hey! I'm standing right here!"

"Let's get back to something more important… Me! Now, here's how the challenge will work: several prop zombies will be scattered around the different film lots, and your job is to kill as many as possible before the time runs out. Each zombie you knock out will be worth a single point, but there is one rare golden zombie hidden that will give you 10 points! Find it, and you're golden." He then laughs at his own joke as the contestants do nothing. "The time limit is up once you hear my beautiful sweet voice over the loudspeakers."

"What if more than one person attacks one zombie?" Nichelle asks.

Shawn begins handing out watches to the contestants, "With these, you'll be able to tell who landed the killing blow on a zombie! They'll keep track of the points for you automatically."

"Shawn is right, Nichelle." Chef explains, "Whoever lands the finishing blow on a zombie is the one who gets the point, and the watches will keep track. Now, excuse me as I show you one of the ways to kill a zombie!"

Chef then glances over his shoulder and throws a soup can at one of the interns dressed as a zombie, "Ahah! Score!"

The "zombie" groans in pain.

"Is that a... person?" Shawn asks on offense before shaking his head and talking to the contestants, "Bludgeon them, burn them, stab them: anything like that should do! Their undead brains are the main source of their power, so make sure you aim for that!"

"This is amateur!" Axel snaps, "You can also drown them, get them to eat each other, or ship them away to work in illegal mines." She says with a proud look on her face as she explains away with glee.

Shawn looks unsure, "Uh... yeah! That too!"

Chris raises his air-horn but doesn't blow it until he finishes speaking, "For this challenge, zombies could be ANYWHERE, so have fun exploring the film lot! You can go it alone, or team up. Oh, and one more thing... don't get bit! It'll provide a nasty surprise! Now, GO!"

The contestants all run off in opposite directions, with MK following Axel, and Nichelle being left behind.

The lonely action star yells, "Hey! Wait up! Julia!"

Julia calls from far away as she continues running, "Sorry Nichelle, it's safer to go it alone! You'd probably just get in the way!"

"Ugh!" Nichelle gasps, offended.

Nichelle in the confessional: "Who does she think she's talking to? I am NICHELLE LADONNA!" She then gasps and covers her mouth, "Woah... I think I'm getting my mojo back! My sister back home calls it my 'ego', whatever she means by that."

The camera swaps to Axel sniffing on the ground as MK follows, "Uh... What are you doing?"

"What does it look like? I'm finding the enemies scent..."

MK asks sarcastically, "Shall I fetch the dog leash again?"

"QUIET!" Axel yells as she tackles MK into a bush.

"What the heck?" MK asks before Axel shushes her.

"SSSSH! We've got to be quiet, there's one coming!"

The trees on the other side of them rustle.

"It's coming... just wait."

Just then, Nichelle comes out of the clearing and yawns.

Axel and MK lift themselves out of the bush as MK mocks, "Yeah... looks undead to me!"

"Hey, that is RUDE!" Nichelle snaps before turning behind her and screaming at something she sees, causing her to bolt away.

A single zombie comes crawling out of the trees as it makes typical groaning noises.

"Step back!" Axel commands MK as she pushes her to the ground, causing MK to let out a squeak.

Axel rushes forward with her shovel and decapitates the zombie, causing it's head to fall to the ground.

MK comes back up and rubs her head, "Ugh... WOAH, you just killed an intern!"

Axel swings her shovel around and looks pleased, "Naw, I could tell a real zombie from someone in a suit." She then leans down to look at her kill, "It's really fleshy, it must be a real zombie!"

MK walks over and pulls out the wires she sees peaking out, "Nope, it's just a robot."

Axel looks defeated, "Aw... cheap show."

Her behavior lifts up as she notices her watch, "Look! I've got a point!"

"Awesome..." MK says with fake enthusiasm as she looks down at the ground, "Hey, let's make a deal: let's agree to swap between zombie kills so we can have even points!"

"Why would we do that? I'm the zombie expert here."

"Yeah, that's true, but what if one of us gets bitten or another player sabotages us? It's a good backup plan to tie in points in case one of us goes down."

"Hmm, I guess you have a point... I'll let you use some of my weapons!"

"Yeah-eah! We've so got this."

MK in the confessional: "I can't just let her hog all of the kills, Bowie is most definitely out to get me... so I've got to play smart."

The camera swaps to Damien walking in the forest, looking around him in a panic. The camera zooms in closer on him before BAAM, he runs into someone and falls to the ground.

"Yikes, sorry man!" Wayne pipes up as he helps Damien up.

"Oh... it's you." Damien eeks out calmly, "Have you seen any of the other players?"

"Nope! Just you so far. I can't find a single zombie either, Chris is being really stinky!" He asserts as he stays on the look-out.

"Uh, you mean stingy?"

Wayne turns and smiles, "Yeah, that's what I said. Hey, since four eyes are better than eight, why don't we team up?"

"Uuuuuuuh..."

Damien in the confessional: "I'm not so sure about teaming up with Wayne. He's nice and all, but he's a few brain cells short of a... he's stupid. This morning, I had to explain to him that quantum physics was a scientific discipline and not an exotic fruit!"

Wayne ducks he and Damien down, "Wait... I sense something... HYAAAAAH!" He yells as he grabs a sharp stick from the ground and begins stabbing a bush.

A sparking zombie comes out of the bush as Wayne brushes the dirt off of his shirt, "That's one point for team Wayner! HOOOT HOOOT!"

"Woah, that's pretty impressive!" Damien cheers as he comes closer and puts his arm around Wayne's shoulder, "Yeah, let's stick together!"

Chris begins speaking through the loud speakers: "Wayne, Axel, and Caleb are all tied with one point each! The others better start searching harder."

The camera swaps to the clown zone with creepy music playing. Nichelle is shown screaming and running from zombies, "THIS IS NOT COOL! I don't want to die in a creepy place like this! At least the woods would be kind of romantic!"

Lauren appears from behind the bounce-house and laughs manically.

Lauren in the confessional: "I maaaay have led the zombies toward her... What, it's a good strategy! And I love Nichelle's screaming!"

The camera swaps to Julia, who is shiftily looking around by the main camp grounds, "I'm sure Chris put most of the zombies back at the campground-UGH!" She gets interrupted by Bowie, who just collided with her.

"Ugh, are you kidding me?" Bowie asks with disgust, "I thought Chef already threw the trash away this morning."

"Haha, very funny... Now step out of my way! I haven't found a single zombie and I'm not about to perform like YOU in this challenge."

Bowie stops and thinks for a moment as Julia charges past him, "Hmmm... same with me, I haven't found a single one. Heeey, how about we-"

"Nope! Not in a million years!" Julia asserts off-screen before walking back into frame, "In case you forgot, I got kicked off last season cause of you..."

"No, no, no!" Bowie responds, "That was because of the nerd duo! And now that they're gone, us villains can get super far again."

"Hmm, I guess that's tempting. But based on the smell of desperation coming from you, I think you need me more than I need you. See you laters!"

Bowie growls as he begins walking the other direction.

Bowie in the confessional: "It's not like I WANT to work with Julia, but she might be the one contestant on the island with a worse reputation than me, so it might be a good idea to keep her around. Besides, I don't think I can trust Wayne as much as I thought I could. He's not really reliable... Like Raj." He says dreamily.

The camera swaps to Axel and MK, as a zombie is slowly limping towards them.

MK asks Axel in a panic as she fumbles with the crossbow, "How do I use this thing?!"

"Hurry, it's getting closer!"

The camera zooms out to reveal the zombie is about 30 feet away from them and moving a foot a second.

Axel jumps in front of MK, "Save yourself! It's too late, he's almost here!"

MK looks past Axel and speaks calmly, "Oh, it's farther than I thought... just gotta..." She then aims her cross-hairs at the zombie and shoots, as it blows her back a bit, "Woah!... Hey, I got it!"

Axel slowly opens her eyes and lowers her arms, "Oh, I'm not dead! Cool." She then helps MK up, "How did you fall back from shooting a crossbow? It's not like it's a desert eagle."

"Like the bird?" MK asks in confusion as she scratches her head.

"No, like the gun."

"Well why didn't you just say that?"

Axel shushes her, "Ssssh, I think another contestant is close-by!"

Both of them peak through a bush to see Caleb keeping distance from two zombies.

He taunts, "Oh yeah, want a piece of me? Then come get some!" He then charges towards one of them and punches it so hard that it flies into a tree. A point lights up on Caleb's watch as he cheers, "Ah yeah, nice! Now to deal with-"

He is interrupted by the sight of an arrow going through the other zombies head, causing it to fall to its knees as it short-circuits.

"Ah yeah!" MK cheers as her and Axel come out from their hiding spot and toward Caleb, "Oh, whoops, that was probably your kill."

Caleb smiles charmingly at them, "No problem."

Caleb in the confessional: He does nothing but breathe deeply before screaming into a pillow.

"Good luck in the challenge you two! Let me know if you see the golden zombie." He chuckles as he begins walking away.

Axel smirks as he walks away before turning to MK, "How about we ally with him? He's not the brightest but he's a strong player."

"No way!" MK responds quickly, "He can't be trusted!"

"How do you know that? I don't think there's much going on in that brain of his. Not like mine, of course: which is filled with useful survival skills!"

"Because I saw his!-... Um..."

MK in the confessional: "Because I saw his confessionals, duh! Apparently he's just pretending to be dumb so people won't vote him off. But if he does actually have some brain cells in there, that makes him a huge threat. But I can't let Axel know I have access to this kind of stuff, she might think of me differently... like I'm watching her on the toilet or something."

She continues awkwardly, "I don't know, I just get a bad vibe from him."

Axel raises her eyebrow, "Hmmm..."

Axel in the confessional: "I don't know what's going on with MK. I like her and all but she seems... hmm, possessive? What's wrong with allying with Caleb? Just cause I'm the brawn doesn't mean all my ideas suck! My guardian wouldn't treat me like this."

"Pfft, fine... but if I was in trouble, I'd bet on him saving me more than you!"

MK takes a few steps back, "Woah, woah, take it easy! Of course I would save you."

"Well I hope so, because I would save you... c'mon, let's get going."

The camera swaps to Lauren, who has somehow found a chainsaw and is standing in front of three zombies.

"if you want some, come get some!" She squeals before charging toward and dismembering all of them as sparks fly.

"Easy peasy, organs, squeezy!" She giggles as she looks at her watch, showing the number 3.

Axel and MK walk up from behind her, "Um... wanna ally with her?" MK squeezes out.

"Nope. Not that one, let's keep moving!"

Lauren in the confessional: "What's wrong with forming an alliance with me? I'm super nice! Once you get past the whole 'screams at midnight' thing." She says as she twitches.

The camera shows Nichelle walking in a rocky terrain, "Phew! I've never even seen this part of the film-lot before... Is this for the Triassic Playground movie challenge?"

She sits on a rock at an entrance of a cave and bathes in the sun, "Ah yeah, this is the life I'll live again once I win the season!" She then closes her eyes before being shocked awake by the sound of zombies groaning.

She turns her head toward the cave, "Oh, there's one in there!" She then grabs a rock from the ground and charges in, "I'm coming to get you, zombie... AAAAAAH!"

She rushes out of the cave with her arms in front of her as the zombie follows her out of the cave. She pants and looks back, "Heh... Heh... These zombies are scarier than I thought they would be!"

She then runs into someone and looks up, "OOF - Huh... Scary Girl?"

The menacing figure stares down at her with her chainsaw and grins before speaking in a creepy whisper, "Hey Nichelle. Long time no scream."

Nichelle quickly gets up and steps a few feet away, "Uh, actually we just saw each other this morning but..."

She then turns around to see the zombie getting closer and hides behind Lauren, "AH- KILL IT!"

"Don't worry, I've got this... friend." She gets out creepily as she then skips toward the zombie, singing a merry tune as she slices it up and Nichelle looks on in horror.

Lauren then walks over covered in zombie guts and speaks rapidly, "WannaBeInAnAlliance?!"

Nichelle just looks at her strangely before running away and screaming. She continues screaming as the camera follows her, to which she runs straight into a zombie.

"Man... I've really got to look where I'm going... Oh hey, it's a zombie!" She cheers surprisingly positively as she gets up.

The zombie then bites her arm as she screams. She smacks it away and jumps a bit, "Uh-uh, no way! That is grooooss!"

Scary Girl then charges toward it with her chainsaw as it runs away in terror, surprisingly fast.

Chris begins announcing from the loud speakers: "And with that, Nichelle is out of the challenge!"

Nichelle looks up, offended: "What?! You didn't say anything about that! What you should be doing is getting me to a medical tent! What if that thing had rabies?"

Chris begins speaking again as clips of all the contestants listening play: "It's just a robot Nichelle, no harm done! Some hydrogen peroxide will go a long way. And when I said there'd be a nasty surprise: the nasty surprise is... you lose!"

Nichelle grumbles, "Ugh... this is ridiculous. You didn't even let me unleash a can of whooping on these zombies!"

The camera swaps to Bowie as he listens in, "Gross... better not get bit then- UGH!"

His self-talk is interrupted as he once again bumps into Julia, "Can we STOP doing this?!"

Julia gets up, "Yeah, not my idea of a fun challenge time either! I know you look dead and all, but I don't think you count as a zombie."

He raises an eyebrow and taunts her, "Still haven't found a zombie?"

"For your information, I have! They just had gross saggy skin so I didn't wanna touch them... What's your excuse?"

Bowie in the confessional: "When someone has an ego the size of Russia, you've got to take advantage of that." He affirms as he slams his hand into his fist.

"You're right Julia, I haven't even found one zombie. I'm just not good at this like you..."

Her suspicious face turns into a pleased one, "Go on!"

He puts his hand on her shoulder, "Look Julia, I know we don't see eye to eye, but we've got to team up to take out an even bigger target!"

"And who would that be?"

"MK! I've been trying to eliminate her for a while now after she eliminated my boyfriend... that was a low blow."

"And? Why should I care?"

"Because she's probably the one who stole your third phone!"

Julia looks around in a panic, "How did you know about that?"

"Because you've got a phone for live streaming, one for texting, and one for calling. And I haven't seen you live streaming recently, so something must be up!"

"You're right..." She then gasps, "Do you think she's looking at our confessionals again?"

"100 percent! I don't think it came in much hand during the team's phase, but now that we're merged, she's got the dirt on everyone! We've got to vote her out immediately."

"Hmm, fine. But only because it's a good idea! The second she's gone, we're back to being enemies!"

"That's fine, just want you to know what's up... wait, what's that sound?"

The two's conversation is interrupted by Lauren as she comes hopping out of the bush with her chainsaw running, "Time to make a NEW FRIEND!"

The two of them scream and run in terror as Lauren calls out in a sing-songy rhythm, "Juuuuliaaaa, you're gonna get what you deseeeerve!"

"Why is she so mad at you?!"

"I DON'T KNOW!"

"Oh Booowwwiiiie, wanna be my new friend and vote off Julia?"

"I'm literally RIGHT HERE!" Julia yelps as they continue to run.

The camera swaps to Damien and Wayne walking and talking in a strange building with several crates and gadgets lying around. A mysterious green figure can be seen floating around in the back.

"I know right, wasn't it awesome?!' Wayne asks Damien as they both look elated.

"It was! I'm not really a huge hockey fan, but when I saw my dad watching Gretsky pass Gordie and score on TV as a kid, it was burned into my memory forever!"

Chris announces from the loudspeakers, "Attention movie stars! Axel, MK, Caleb, and Scary Girl are all in the lead with 3 kills each! Everyone else... hehehe, good luck!"

Damien facepalms, "Oh shoot, I completely forgot about the challenge."

"It's okay bud, there's still time." Wayne says as he hops off.

Damien catches up to him, "True, but I guess we should start talking about voting. Caleb seriously gives me the wrong type of vibes."

"Hmm, really, that guy? But he doesn't seem like the brightest bulb in the shed. And I would know, cause I'm excellent at changing light bulbs!" He asserts as he puts his hands on his hips and puffs his chest out with self-assurance.

"No, trust me... I think he's a lot smarter than he's letting on. I mean, I watched last season before we came out here, and it's super weird that he called himself intelligent when he got eliminated."

"Yeah, I guess that's true." Wayne shrugs, "Are you wanting to vote him off or something?"

"I think so, but I'll need to try and get others to vote with us, which might be hard. For now, let's just keep an eye on him, okay?"

"Sure!"

The camera pans to Lauren watching them behind one of the crates, "Not on my watch..."

She then turns to see the mysterious green figure behind her, which the camera only shows a small portion of, "Oh, hello friend! Wanna help me with something?"

Wayne begins speaking, "Alright, let's go this way- uh, what is that?"

Damien turns to see what Wayne is looking at and screams, "AALIIIIEEEEN!"

Both of them yell and stampede away as the little green alien follows behind them as cute music plays. Lauren comes out from behind the crate and claps, "Nice!"

"Scary Girl?!" Damien asks, offended, as he looks back.

Wayne in the confessional: "I should have known the aliens would come for us soon! I should have watched alien movies instead of zombie ones..."

The camera swaps back to MK and Axel as they wander through the Korean dynasty set.

"We've got four points each." Axel explains, "Caleb and Lauren are catching up to us! I think if we see more than one zombie I should kill them both to make sure one of us wins immunity."

MK thinks for a bit, "Hmm, good plan... not!"

Axel raises an eyebrow, "And why is it not a good plan?"

"Why should you kill the zombies? I'm the bigger target in the vote! I have to win immunity."

"Maybe because you're so slow that somebody else will come in and steal our kills?" Axel explains with irritation, "Why don't you just trust me on this? My skills can finally be put to good use!"

Before MK can respond, Chris begins announcing over the loudspeakers: "Attention movie stars! Caleb, Scary Girl, Axel, and MK are tied with four kills each! Not only that, but Bowie, Damien, and Julia are also tied with ZERO kills!" He then laughs, "There's only two zombies left! One of which is the elusive golden zombie, which will award 10 points to the player who finds it! Because most of you have been so sucky in the challenge, everybody except for our players with four points are disqualified!"

"Ah man..." Wayne whines as he walks near the elimination ceremony area with Damien, "That's not fair, I got a point!"

Chris responds apathetically, "Those are the rules, Wayne!"

The camera then shows Chris, Chef, and Shawn in the camera control room.

"Woah, what's this button do?" Shawn asks like a curious kitten as he presses the titular button.

"Hey, get away from that!" Chef cries as he shoos him away.

Chris smirks deviously as clips of Lauren, Caleb, Axel, and MK listening in play: "Jeez, I hope our remaining contestants don't know that the two remaining zombies are on the red carpet of shame!... Oops, did I leave this one?"

Axel smirks before dragging MK by her wrist and running off, "Come on!"

Caleb blows on his fists, which are smoking for some reason, "I'm comin' for that golden goose!"

Caleb in the confessional: "I could have tried to stick with someone for this challenge, but I wanted to smash those zombies in with preferably nobody looking so they wouldn't see my fists of steel in action." He explains as he smiles charmingly at the camera.

The camera swaps to Caleb running past the elimination ceremony as he notices Lauren skipping beside him, "Lauren! I'm glad you're here, we've got to beat... crud." He stops his sentence as he sees Axel and MK slide right in front of him, blocking the entrance to the red carpet of shame with weapons in hand.

As Axel slides in, her crocodile plush falls out of her back pocket without her realizing: "Ahah! Gotcha! Might as well give up now!"

MK pipes up, "Yeah, those zombies are ours!"

Both of them then run farther down the red carpet as Axel calls out, "There's the zombies!"

Both of them gasp at the sight of the golden zombie. "It's... beautiful!" MK cheers as the camera focuses on the glittery and shining zombie.

"Let's end this fast!" MK exclaims as she shoots an arrow at the golden zombie, which reflects back straight at them as they dodge, "Axel... we need a new plan!"

"Hey!" Lauren cries, "You can't just steal our win like that!"

"Wait!" Caleb reassures her as he grabs Axel's plush doll from the ground and throws it past the zombies, causing the regular zombie to go and chase it.

"Wow, that did absolutely nothing!" Lauren gleams.

"I couldn't think of anything else to do!"

"NOOOOO!" Axel yelps as she tries to run to retrieve her doll, before MK trips her.

"No Axel! We need to kill the golden zombie first!"

Axel's eyes glow red as she gets up and begins grunting and breathing heavily, "MK: save my doll and kill the golden zombie, I'll hold Caleb and Scary Girl back!"

"HYAAAAH!" Axel screams as she runs up to Lauren and Caleb and begins smacking them with her shovel, surprisingly effectively. She glances back as she fends both of them off to witness the normal zombie hunching down to grab her doll, "MK! SAVE THE DOLL!"

MK gets in a fight-or-flight stance and begins staring between the two zombies, "Uuuuuuuuh..."

MK in the confessional: "There's no way I could kill the regular zombie first, Caleb and Scary Girl would beat us to it!"

The camera zooms in on MK sweating as she continues to swerve her head rapidly between the two zombies. Her eyes then fixate on an exposed wire on the golden zombie, "Ahah, that's it!"

MK grabs the wire and yanks as hard as she can, causing the zombie to crash to the ground and MK's watch to light up with 14 points, "YEEEEES!"

"NOOOOOO!" Axel cries as the camera zooms in on the regular zombie as it eats her doll, shredding it into tiny pieces before devouring.

Axel falls to her knees and begins crying.

"Uh... is she alright?" Caleb asks with concern to Lauren, as well as MK, who looks guilty.

Axel's eyes slowly lift up to reveal flames in them.

"Oooooh, that's not good..." MK squeezes out.

Axel gets up, wipes her mouth, brings out her shovel, and charges toward the zombie, smacking it several times with her shovel until the camera pans down to reveal only a pile of mush, stuffing, and wires left.

Axel pants several times before turning to walk back toward MK, her head down and not revealing her eyes.

She puts her hand on MK's shoulder as MK gets out nervously, "If you're going to kill me... can it be fast please?"

Lauren claps, "Ooo, no elimination for us today!"

Caleb responds, "Dang... that's cold."

Axel speaks up, with a surprisingly calm but threatening sounding voice: "MK... from now on, you listen - to me."

MK gulps and responds, "Yeah... yeah, I will."

MK in the confessional: She is shown not saying a word, but instead, hyperventilating into a paper bag.

The camera swaps to all nine contestants at the main trailer area with Chris. He pipes up, "Welcome everyone! This vote is sure to be a doozy, as MK has just won immunity: by stealing the kill from everyone else, hehe."

Axel's arms are crossed as she scoffs, "That's not the most important part..."

Chef comes over with Shawn, "Since this challenge has left you guys pretty winded, we're gonna let you have a 15 minute break before the ceremony!"

"I did not agree to this!" Chris whines before Chef glares at him.

Shawn wanders over to Axel, "I watched you kill those zombies! You were amazing out there! Jasmine would love it if you could give her some tips!"

She grumbles, "Hmm, thank you..."

MK looks over with guilt as she rubs her arm awkwardly.

The camera swaps to Caleb, Nichelle, Axel, MK, and Lauren all standing behind one of the trailers.

Caleb begins, "Listen, I have received news from Lauren that Damien is trying to vote me off! We are NOT having that! So... who's in?"

"Fine by me!" Axel cheers.

"Uh... yeah, sure!" Nichelle says, very much looking unsure.

"I don't know..." MK squeezes out with skepticism, "Damien's not really a huge threat, what about Julia or Bowie?"

"We can deal with them later." Caleb responds confidently, "Right now, Damien is a threat if he wants to get me out!"

MK retorts, "That is a stupid plan..." Axel nudges MK hard on the shoulder, "Okay, fine! Sounds great!"

Axel in the confessional: "This is perfect! I have a solid alliance and MK will respect me more from now on."

"Alright, then it's agreed: we vote for Damien!" Caleb cheers before all five of them walk off in different directions.

The camera focuses on MK, as she walks in the direction of the other trailer and notices Nichelle slamming the door shut after she walks in.

"Hmmmm..." MK hums with suspicion as she lifts herself up to peer through the window, noticing that Damien, Wayne, Julia, Bowie, and Nichelle have all gathered in there and seem to be discussing something.

MK unlocks the window and lifts it up quietly ever so slightly before listening intently.

Bowie whispers, "Alright, then it's settled... we'll vote for..."

What he whispers at the end is inaudible to the cameras, but causes MK to gasp.

MK in the confessional: "Now THAT'S some good strategy!"

Nichelle in the confessional: She is seen crying as she buries her face in her hands, "I am a TERRIBLE person! Playing both sides like this!... Who do I vote for?" She then continues crying before composing herself, "And, SCENE!"

The camera shows all nine contestants walking to the ceremony as suspenseful music plays. Bowie and MK are glaring at each other as Axel looks upset and Nichelle looks pleased with herself.

Chris greets them with his baby blue suit, "Welcome contestants! You guys voted pretty quickly this time, it seems that you're dead-set on your votes! But before we announce, we've got to invite Chef to stir up some drama!"

Chef walks on stage and clears his throat, "Ahem... first off, MK: That was seriously not cool how you stole the win for yourself instead of helping Axel rescue her prized toy!"

Axel avoids eye contact with MK as Chef continues, "Lauren! You have gone back to terrorizing everyone in the competition. Not a lot of people like that around here."

Lauren rolls her eyes while still maintaining a smile as Chef finishes, "And Axel! Despite not winning, you showed all of the other contestants how much of a force to reckon with you are today!"

"Whatever, just give me a gilded Chris!" Axel snaps.

Chris takes center stage again, "That is my announcement to make Axel!"

"Oh good, maybe she'll go home." Julia snarks with a smile.

"Actually... Axel is safe! As well as MK, as she has immunity."

Both girls catch their gilded statues as MK tries to smile at Axel, who ignores her.

"Also safe are... Wayne, Julia, Nichelle, and Bowie!"

All four catch their statues, as Bowie looks especially relieved.

Bowie in the confessional: "Looks like MK doesn't have enough power around here to boot me out! So sad."

Chris continues as Caleb, Lauren, and Damien look worried, "Only two of you can get out of this vote unscathed... and it's not going to be...

...

...

...

...

"Caleb! You're safe for another day!"

"WOOO!" He cheers as he catches it and hands it to Bowie with a smile, "Here: I don't usually eat sugar, but you look like you do!"

"WHAT? WE'RE BOTH GOING HOME?" Damien screams as he puts his hands on his head in a panic.

"Sit down, fool!" Chef yells like a military sergeant, "Nobody said both of you are going home!"

"Thank you, Chef..." Chris growls out in frustration, "Don't interrupt the tension I'm weaving here! Now, with that being said... last player safe IS...

...

...

...

...

...

"Damien. You're safe!"

"WOOOHOOOO!" He cheers as he does a little dance, the same one from the first season when he wasn't selected to be in the obstacle course in episode 3.

"Scary Girl: your time is up!"

Lauren gets up and begins seething, looking around at everyone: "It seems to ME that there is a TRAITOR among us!"

"Um... you're telling me!" Caleb yells, "Damien should be going home!"

"Ugh, the votes must be wrong." Axel complains.

"Nope! I've got all the votes here, cast as they directly were!"

Nichelle in the confessional: "Oh - SHOOT! Do you think Julia could tell I didn't vote for Scary Girl? It's weird though... she still went home."

MK in the confessional: "Wow... my vote actually swayed things it looks like! But I've got to keep it a secret that I voted for Scary Girl."

The camera swaps to Lauren as she walks down the red carpet of shame with Chris, "Well... I made a true friend: Caleb!" She then turns around with her arms out but sees nobody coming to see her off, "Oh..."

She gets out her umbrella, "I guess I'll have to make all of them pay this time... I'm ready for the helicopter cables!"

"Oh, that won't be necessary," He explains, "Merged contestants get to actually ride in the limo!"

The limo rides up as Lauren gets in, "Ooh, fun! I get to torment the driver!"

An old man's voice pipes up from the front seat, "What?"

Shawn comes over, "Uh... Chris? How am I supposed to get home?"

Chris throws Shawn into the limo and shuts the door closed, "That's how, buddy!"

Chris turns to the camera as sounds of Lauren giggling and Shawn screaming can be heard,

"Several alliances have been formed and broken in the same episode! Who will be betrayed next? Who will show off their extremely niche skill? Find out next time on Total. Drama: Action!"

Author's Note: YOOOOO, this elimination was confusing even for me and I'm the one who tallied the votes lol. In case anyone needs some explanation, here's how the votes went:

Damien* - Caleb, Lauren, Nichelle, and Axel
Scary Girl* - Julia, Bowie, MK, Wayne, and Damien

I hope this clears things up if anyone was confused! PLEASE leave a review and tell me what you think of the chapters so far: only 5 episodes to write after this! (Plus a special episode I have planned). I was REALLY shocked out how emotional the Axel doll scene turned out... I didn't expect that at all and I'm the one writing this lmao.
