Here's the next chapter folks. It came earlier than I thought. Enjoy.
"Previously on Total Drama Neo," announced Chris. "22 campers arrived at Camp Mahpee for a chance to win one million dollars. They introduced themselves to their fellow cabinmates, and many of them were unhappy with their living arrangements. Afterward, these suckers were divided into two teams. The White Lotus and the Whoop Butt Squad. Ha-ha. Our viewers watching at home voted on which team name had a good ring to it. As of now, our contestants have been waiting on the island for 3 hours, waiting for the results to come in. Now, the winner will be decided and will receive a special advantage in the second part of the challenge. Will our campers explode under the pressure? Find out on this episode of Total. Drama. NEO! Cue the brand-new theme song!"
(Theme Song Begins)
The scene cuts to cameras popping up out of several locations on the island. This is also accompanied by catchy music.
Hey Mom and Dad, I'm doing fine.
A camera zooms past Chris holding a megaphone, straight past a cliff, and into a lake. Goku is shown swimming, looking for a fish, nude.
You guys are on my mind.
The camera then rises out of the lake and pans to Finn trying to talk to Flame Princess. Goku then jumps out, and Finn and Flame Princess stare in shock.
You asked me what I wanted to be, and now I think the answer is plain to see.
Nearby Rigby is shown laughing at Biscuit over something, but he's taken down a peg after Biscuit launches him into the sky with an uppercut.
Cause I wanna be famous.
Courage is then shown to be in the forest and is scared off by a gorilla. This just happens to be Bloo in a gorilla suit, who proceeds to take off the mask and laughs. Numbuh 5 saw the prank and proceeded to roll her eyes.
I wanna live close to the sun.
Mao Mao is shown standing triumphantly on a rock, with the sun shining down on him.
Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won.
Sasha and May jump into a river, a nearby waterfall. This caused the water to get on Sam, who was trying to read. Sam then storms off and throws her book.
Everything to prove, nothing in my way. I'll get there one day.
Sasha laughs while May looks guilty. The scene quickly switches to Judai and Ilana playing a card game on a picnic table. Out of nowhere, Rigby lands painfully, on the table. As a result, this startled Judai and Ilana and they jump back. The camera then pans to Mandy, who shoves it out of her face.
Cause I wanna be famous!
In the mess hall, Vegeta and Mordecai are playing punchies. Mordecai punches Vegeta, doing absolutely nothing, and Vegeta punches him off his chair. Meanwhile, Soldier is force-feeding Buttercup slop.
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na!
The scene switches to Numbuh 5 dancing on the beach, while Gumball makes a sandcastle. Unfortunately, Numbuh 3 clumsily steps on it, causing Gumball to put his hands on his head, in frustration.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!
Blossom flies through the sky gracefully, ripping through the clouds.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!
The day changes to night, and Jack is seen holding a marshmallow while sitting at a campfire. He then smiles ear to ear, looking at the other contestants. The scene is then zoomed out, showing the other campers bored and whistling.
*Whistling*
Finally, the show's logo, spelling out Total Drama Neo, hovers over the cast.
(Theme Song ends)
Episode 2: Beachside Builders
It was a sunny afternoon at Camp Mahpee. After a day of unpacking and settling in, the campers wandered around the western part of the island. Farthest to the west are the docks. Next were the beaches, which surrounded the entire island. Further east was where the campsite was located, along with the staff quarters, the mess hall, and the communal bathrooms. There was also a peculiar outhouse behind the communal bathrooms. Finally, the cabins were the last inhabitable building, farthest from the docks.
Beyond the cabins were clusters of forests, lakes, rivers, a cliff, and even a waterfall. This was certainly the largest part of the island, although this area is where some of the more dangerous parts of the island were.
Outside the mess hall, a few campers were waiting for the second part of their challenge to start. Ilana was pacing around the mess hall, impatiently. Sam was sitting on the first step of the mess hall, engrossed in a horror novel. Numbuh 5 and 3 were killing time by playing a card game.
Ilana stopped in front of the mess hall and threw her arms down in frustration. "Ugh, it's been more than 3 hours already. When is our challenge going to begin?"
Sam looked up but then continued to read her book. "Relax, it's obviously going to take a while."
"I honestly thought this was going to take a day," said Numbuh 5. "I mean, 3 hours doesn't sound like enough time to get so many votes. Ha-ha, blackjack Kuki." She revealed a king, a 5, and a 6.
"Aww," Numbuh 3 whined. "Let's play again!"
Just then, Ilana's stomach grumbled. "Guess there's no point worrying about it. I'm going to get something to eat."
"Good luck eating that garbage," Sam scoffed.
"Believe me, I'm not eating an MRE again."
Ilana walked up the three steps to the mess hall door when suddenly, 4 gallons of water and a bucket dropped on her head. Ilana swayed lightly from side to side, before hitting the floor.
"Gotcha!" Bloo yelled.
"Yeah-yuh!" Rigby exclaimed, waving his arms in the air. "Nice one!"
The two exchanged a high-five, on top of the mess hall, while the three girls below went to check on Ilana.
"Oh my gosh," cried Sam, as she supported Ilana back onto her feet.
"Are you ok Ilana?" Numbuh 3 asked.
Ilana held her head. "Argh, it hurts. Where's the nurse?"
"Just behind the mess hall," Sam answered. "Come on, I'll take you there." Sam then guided Ilana to the infirmary tent.
Numbuh 5 then looked up at Rigby and Bloo disapprovingly, catching the attention of them both.
"What?" asked Rigby. "We just dumped water on her, we didn't think it would hurt her."
"Are you kiddin' me? Your bucket hit her darn head!"
"Wait it did?" questioned Rigby, who then stared at Bloo in confusion.
"Well, it might have slipped from my grasp," Bloo said, smugly. "But it was an honest accident I promise!"
"Didn't look like no accident to me," muttered Numbuh 5. "Especially after you two high-fived at the end."
"Relax," Bloo replied. "It was just a prank; it will be much safer next time."
Numbuh 5 then began to frown.
000000000000000000000000000000000
"So, after the first challenge," said Numbuh 5, "Chris said this outhouse was for confessionals, but man, did he have to make it an outhouse? This place stinks! Anyways, those two are trouble, there ain't no doubt in my mind. Probably gonna make this island even more unpleasant."
000000000000000000000000000000000
"Ok perhaps I went too far," said Bloo, "But this show needs pizzazz and thrills, and I'm 100% qualified for it. Plus, it will probably boost my popularity."
000000000000000000000000000000000
Either way, Numbuh 5 continued to play blackjack with Numbuh 3.
"Hit me!" Numbuh 3 exclaimed.
"You already have a 10, Kuki and you don't know what your other face-down card is. Well, it's your funeral."
"Wait, don't hit me! Actually, hold on do it! No wait! Actually, never mind. But wait hol-"
Numbuh 5 places a card down, "Oh look at that a 10, you want to hold 'em?
"Yes! Actually…"
"Hold, now flip your card over."
Numbuh 3 flipped over her face-down card revealing an ace. This puts her total at a perfect 21. She then began jumping with glee. "Yay! Blackjack! Blackjack!"
Numbuh 5 put her hands on her face and muttered, "Oh brother, Numbuh 5 can't deal with this."
"Hey um Abby, Kuki?" asked Bloo.
Numbuh 3 and 5 lifted their heads.
"Can you guys get us down from here!?"
The two girls shared smug glances and walked off whistling. This only served to frustrate Bloo and Rigby, until they saw Numbuh 3 come back. Unfortunately for them, she picked up the cards she left and ran off.
"HEY!" Bloo shouted. "NOT COOL!"
Meanwhile, at the infirmary tent, Sam and Ilana entered. There they saw Mao Mao, standing with his back bent, constantly scratching his butt.
"Ow, ow," yelped Mao Mao, in pain.
"Hey Mao," greeted Sam. "How's our legendary hero doing?"
Mao Mao looked up in embarrassment and took his hands off his butt trying to hold back the pain. "Lad-ladies, y-you s-seeeee. AHHHH!" Mao Mao went back to scratching his butt.
Sam and Ilana laughed aloud.
"Ahaha, ow." Ilana rubbed her head, still feeling pain after what happened earlier.
"Hahahaha!" Sam laughed. "Did you sit on poison ivy or something?"
"Why yes he did," said the doctor, as he walked in. "Very tasty stuff. Horrible aftertaste though."
The doctor was a crustaceous humanoid, wearing a lab coat over a doctor's uniform. He was also very overweight.
"I am Doctor Zoidberg, what seems to be the problem?"
"I hit my head," Ilana replied. "I mean, a bucket hit my head."
"Ah, I see. Well, sit down please."
0000000000000000000000000000000
"I wonder why Chris didn't introduce him?" Sam pondered. "I mean, the camp's nurse should be pretty important."
0000000000000000000000000000000
Ilana proceeded to sit down on a nearby chair. Zoidberg grabbed his stethoscope and placed the end of it on her forehead. Sam and Mao Mao exchanged a look of confusion.
"Oh no," lamented Zoidberg, "That brain has got to go!" He then grabbed a bone saw.
"What!" exclaimed Ilana, pushing Zoidberg back. "Wait, I think I just need some ice, heh-heh."
"Fine." Zoidberg took off the stethoscope and pointed his right claw at Ilana. "But if your brain starts swelling, don't come to me!"
"How did you even become a doctor, Zoidberg?" Mao Mao asked, still scratching his butt.
"You may not believe it, but I'm a doctor from the year 3012."
"3012?" said everyone in the tent, including Zoidberg. The others looked at Zoidberg, unamused.
"Sorry," Zoidberg apologized. "I wanted to be part of the moment. This is now my second job. I traveled here so I can collect money from this job and bring it to the future."
"Wait wouldn't the value of money have gone up in your time?" Ilana speculated. "Canadian currency might not even be accepted-"
"Shut up!" said Zoidberg, "If you keep using your brain as it is, it's going to explode!"
"That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard." Sam bluntly stated.
0000000000000000000000000000000
"Ok maybe I see why," said Sam.
0000000000000000000000000000000
"Well, I'm the one with a medical degree in humans. Now if you excuse me, I must administer to the cat-man."
Ilana grabbed a bag of ice, put it on her head, and walked out with Sam. As they left, Zoidberg proceeded to grab an electric razor and a jar of anti-itch cream.
"Lay on the operating table please," Zoidberg commanded. "Face down if you will."
Mao Mao lay face down on the operating table, but then he heard a razor buzzing and looked back. "Um, what are you going to do with that?"
"We must apply the anti-itch cream. I am first going to shave off the fur on your buttocks."
"Wait, no!" pleaded Mao Mao. "Please!"
000000000000000000000000000000000
Mao Mao points to the camera, "If anyone back at home is watching, do not laugh!"
000000000000000000000000000000000
Over at a small hill near the western beach, May and Sasha were sitting down, conversing about various things. Notably, Sasha switched out of her armor earlier and is now wearing her schoolgirl uniform.
"Hey May," started Sasha, "I never asked, but where are you from?"
"This place called Littleroot Town," May replied. "It's a pretty small settlement compared to where you're from."
"Eh, my home is alright." Moments later, Sasha's eyes perked up. "Though, there's this awesome place that I got sent to. Think of it as a world full of frog people."
"Huh, that's interesting."
Sasha frowned a bit. "You don't seem impressed or anything."
May scratched her head. "Well, my home's pretty bizarre too, but I mean it feels natural to me."
Sasha playfully shoves May "Ha, you gotta take me there one day."
May smiled and playfully pushed Sasha back, and the two began to friendly push each other back and forth.
000000000000000000000000
"At first, I wasn't sure about Sasha," said May. "But it seems that she's actually really nice."
000000000000000000000000
"Ah yeah! The beach!" Judai was running in swim shorts, and he just so happened to be approaching Sasha and May.
"Hold on Judai!" said May "Chris said the beach is off-limits for today! Remember?"
Judai stopped in his tracks. "Really? Why?"
"Something about the second part of the challenge," said Sasha. "Whenever that begins."
Disappointed, Judai bent over and sighed. "Well, that blows. I really wanted to cool off."
"I feel you, man," replied Sasha. She then got up and dusted herself off. "K, I'm gonna take a walk around the island. May, you cumin'?"
May got up quickly, "Sure! Let's go! Oh, Judai, you wanna come too?"
"Nah, I'm heading back to the cabins, see ya." Judai then hurried on over to his team's cabin.
"Eh suit yourself," said Sasha. "C'mon May, let's bounce."
Over at team Whoop Butt Squad's male cabin, Finn was laying on his bed and Vegeta was taking a nap. Judai then opened the door to the room and walked over to Finn. He was about to open his mouth when Finn gave him a signal to be quiet. Seems Vegeta built quite the repetition in the past few hours.
Likewise, Judai winked and began to whisper. "Hey Finn, looks like we can't go to the beach."
"Told you so," whispered Finn. "Besides I don't like beaches anyways."
"Why not?"
"Don't worry about It, man."
XXXXXXXXXX
In the forest, on the eastern side of the island, Jack was meditating. Unknown to him Goku was watching, hidden below the trees.
000000000000000000000000
"Jack gives me the impression that he is a very capable fighter," said Goku. A smile grows on Goku's face as he cups his fist. "Man, I would really like to fight him."
000000000000000000000000
Jack changed his composure a little. "I know you're there."
Goku then came out of the tress. "Impressive, I was sure I masked my presence."
Jack stood up and smiled. "You turned off your flow of qi instantly. However, I sensed something coming earlier. The sudden disappearance of that much aura would be puzzling."
"I see." Goku then released a dense flow of aura. "Now that you got a good look at me, what do you think."
Jack was overwhelmed by Goku's aura capacity, as well as his nearly unlimited potential. "I don't think I would ever be able to defeat you in a fight."
"Oh, is that so? Well then how about we spar and find out." Goku then took a signature fighting stance, similar to the one he used when he faced Vegeta for the first time. "You can use your sword if you want."
"Hmpf, fine then." Jack then took out his katana from his sheath and took up a stance of his own.
What followed were several seconds of silence, accompanied by the sounds of the forest. Then as a single leaf fell on the ground, Jack sprinted and swung his first strike at Goku. Goku quickly dodged and prepared to throw a punch with his right fist. Knowing that Jack was much weaker than him, Goku controlled the power of his punch. Jack blocked the punch with his upper right arm, but the recoil pushed him back two feet. Jack winced as the punch bruised his arm. Goku took this opportunity to do a follow-up attack and lunged toward Jack, but Jack then swung his katana in Goku's direction. Goku quickly changed his momentum and threw himself back several feet from Jack.
"Incredible," complimented Jack.
"Heh, thank you," said Goku. "You're not too bad yourself."
As their fight ensued, Biscuit was watching from a nearby tree.
0000000000000000000000000000000
"Very impressive," said Biscuit. "Jack is probably as strong as me, but Goku is on a whole 'nother level. He must be holding back his true power from the looks of it. Looks like I got real competition here."
0000000000000000000000000000000
Meanwhile, in Infront of the White Lotus girl's cabin, Mandy was talking with Flame Princess.
000000000000000000000000
"If I want to get far in this game, I need an alliance," said Mandy. "May and Sasha have already formed a bond. I could join their alliance, but at the same time, I don't trust Sasha. Goku, Mordecai, and Jack seem uninterested, and Abby and Kuki seem very close. Not to mention that we've once met, and I rather not have her remember who I am. Courage looks useless and could be an easy pick to vote off later… so I guess that leaves Flame Princess and Gumball.
0000000000000000000000000000000
Gumball then walked out of the White Lotus boy's cabin and stretched. "That was a good nap." Gumball then notices Mandy and Flame Princess moving towards him.
"Gumball we've come to make a proposition," said Mandy.
Gumball raised an eyebrow out of curiosity.
"How would you like to join our little alliance?" asked Mandy.
"Wait, an alliance?" Gumball inquired. "Seriously?"
"We both figured it's the easiest way to make it farther into the game," said Flame Princess. "So are you in?"
Gumball pondered for a bit.
0000000000000000000000000000000
"Ok Flame Princess seems pretty cool," said Gumball. "Or uh hot? I dunno. Though Mandy strikes me as the edgy, I'll probably stab you in the back type."
0000000000000000000000000000000
"Hold on, how do I know you won't betray me eventually?" asked Gumball. "Don't think I haven't seen my fair share of Big Bachelor!"
"Gumball there are still twenty-two of us," said Mandy. "And being this early in the game, it's only wise to start planning ahead. Besides I can assure you that there is at least one alliance already."
"Really?" Gumball questioned.
"Mandy thinks Sasha and May are an alliance," Flame Princess added. "Though I'm not too sure about that myself."
"Call it a hunch," Mandy reckoned. "Sasha and I are the same kind of breed. Well, I'm much different from Sasha really. The point is, the closer we get, the more we want to work with each other. I mean do you have any allies Gumball? Any friends on this island?"
"Well, I talked to Finn when I got here." Gumball rubbed his head for a bit. "Oh, and Bisky and Ilana seemed pretty nice."
"Well they're all on different teams, idiot," Mandy muttered under her breath. "Think of them as you will, but if you don't prove your usefulness to our team, or better yet if you don't have anyone to help protect you from elimination, how long do you think you'll be staying?"
A worried expression appeared on Gumball's face, and he looked down in thought.
"Listen Gumball," said Flame Princess. "We only want to help each other out, besides it's only to get us closer to the finals. If we make it to the final 3, it's everyone for themselves."
Gumball looked up. "Why shouldn't I just join Sasha's hypothetical alliance?"
"Good question," said Mandy. She then proceeded to grab him by the shirt and pull him up.
Gumball's face went into a mode of panic. "Ha-ha, you're very persuasive. Ok, I'm in."
"Good." Satisfied, Mandy released Gumball.
0000000000000000000000000000000
"Mandy could've handled that better," said Flame Princess. "But hey, now we got an alliance. Though, I'm not sure if this is a good idea."
0000000000000000000000000000000
Suddenly, a voice could be heard over a loudspeaker.
"ATTENTION CAMPERS!" Chris boomed. "MEET ME AT THE DOCKS IN 15 MINUTES! IT'S TIME FOR YOUR CHALLENGE!"
"Alright!" Buttercup exclaimed as she flew out of Whoop Butt Squad's girl cabin. "Time to take the first win."
Vegeta stood outside the cabins and stretched. "Just don't get too cocky, brat." Vegeta proceeded to walk to the docks, while Buttercup looked at him with mild contempt.
"Oh yeah, well I'll show you." She then flew off to the docks.
In 15 minutes, everyone was at the docks. Everyone, except for Rigby and Bloo who were still stuck at the top of the mess hall.
"Looks like everyone is here," said Mao Mao.
"Hey, where are those two?" asked Blossom. "You know Bloo and Rigby?"
"Oh, sorry Whoop Butt Squad," Numbuh 5 apologized. "We kinda left them on top of the mess hall."
"Hey, that's sabotaging our team!" yelled Blossom.
"Like I said, sorry. We were just trying to get back at them for something that happened earlier."
"That's fair," said Sam. "But someone has to go find them."
"I'll go get them," said Mordecai. He then began to run to the mess hall.
"Why is he helping their team?" asked Sasha.
"Rigby's his best friend apparently," Courage answered.
"Campers are you ready for the second part of your challenge?" asked Chris.
"Lay it on us, McLean," said Buttercup.
"First, I would like to congratulate the Whoop Butt Squad for being the best team name on the show!"
The Whoop Butt Squad cheered, except for Vegeta who closed his eyes and crossed his arms.
"Yes!" Buttercup boasted. "I knew that was a great team name!"
"As a reward, you will be getting this brand-new metal detector!" Chris whistled and Soldier came with a shiny new metal detector.
"Here you go maggots." Soldier handed the metal detector to Judai.
"Sweet," said Judai. "What's it for?"
"For the second part of the challenge, you will be searching all over the beach for wooden planks," answered Chris. "They are deep beneath the sand, and as you progress from the western beach to the eastern beach the more planks you will find. However, we put a little twist on this challenge and dug land mines in various areas. You will also find more land mines the more you progress from the western beach to the eastern beach."
A few of the campers let out a collective gasp. Courage began to start shaking in fear.
"You can't do this!" Courage cried.
Chris grinned. "Oh-ho but I can, it's in your contracts."
"Heh, you bunch of sissies!" mocked Soldier "I've faced more land mines than you can imagine! Storming beaches, crossing over barbed wire, watching my comrades hold their guts in while I try to stuff them ba-,"
"Ok that's enough," said Chris, "Please note that you cannot leave the beach under any circumstances. Doing so will disqualify you from the challenge. The first team to use the wooden planks to build a construct, that matches their team name, wins immunity and will not have to vote off anyone tonight! Oh, it must also be 10 feet wide and long."
0000000000000000000000000000000
"Man, someone's already gonna leave on the first day," said Judai. "That sucks."
0000000000000000000000000000000
"Any questions?" Chris asked.
Mandy raised her hand. "What if the explosion from the mines blow off the beach?"
"If you get blown into the ocean or back onto the island, you will be disqualified. Can't have you swimming around either."
"Dang," said Numbuh 5, "I was sure the ocean was gonna be part of the beach.
"Now is everybody ready?" said Chris.
The 19 campers on the beach took a running stance.
"GO!"
What ensued was chaos as the two teams ran to the boxes containing shovels. Gumball grabbed the first shovel but was hit on the head by another shovel, held by Buttercup. Gumball fell on the sand, unconscious, Flame Princess and Jack rush over to Gumball.
"Hey, you can't do that!" Flame Princess shouted.
"He never said I could do that," said Buttercup. "Besides, it's not like I killed him." She then flew off to join her team.
Sasha, Jack, Mandy, Goku, and Flame Princess looked towards Chris and Soldier, who were sitting on outdoor reclining chairs on the docks.
"You're just gonna let that happen?" Sasha complained.
"Technically she's right," Chris reluctantly responded.
"But that's so unfair!" Numbuh 3 shouted while throwing her fists down.
"Fine, no more harming people on other teams," Chris grumbled.
Vegeta, who had Courage in a stranglehold, proceeded to drop him on the floor. "Hmpf!"
"And you cannot sabotage their construct either!" Chris warned. "Way to ruin the fun."
XXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile, at the mess hall, Rigby and Bloo were still stuck on top.
"Great job!" yelled Rigby. "Now we're gonna miss the challenge."
"Hey, don't go yelling at me!" Bloo snapped. "You were the one who kicked down the ladder!"
"Man, whatever. How in the h are we gonna get down?"
Just then Mordecai ran up to the mess hall. "Rigby, Bloo, what are you doing up there?"
"Long story," Rigby replied. "Just get us down!"
Mordecai looked around and spotted the ladder Bloo and Rigby used. He then extended it and placed it on the right side of the mess hall. "Ok, you can come down now."
Rigby was the first to climb down. As Bloo descended he slipped and fell hard onto the ground.
"OW!" Bloo yelled.
"You ok?" said Rigby.
"Noooooooo..."
Back at the beach, the Whoop Butt Squad was huddled together.
"Ok everyone we have one metal detector, so it's probably best to search in a group," said Ilana.
"Let's split up the work," said Blossom. "One group will look for the wood, and the other will stay here and build the construct."
"I'll help with the building," Mao Mao said, proudly. Mao Mao proceeded to put his hand on his chest. "I'm quite skilled."
Blossom, Sam, and Ilana agreed to stay back as well.
"Ok then," said Finn, "Judai, Vegeta, Buttercup, Bisky and I will get searching."
"Once you guys get enough wood," Ilana began, "Send at least two people back to bring it to us."
"Gotcha," Judai replied. He then picked up the metal detector.
"Let's move out!" Biscuit commanded. The rest of the group followed.
"Rigby and Bloo better get here soon," said Mao Mao.
"Tell me about it," agreed Sam.
Over where the White Lotus was, the team was discussing a plan.
"Without a metal detector, we'll be moving blindly," Jack noted.
"Not exactly," Courage began. "I could just sniff out the landmines and wood."
"Ok then, Courage will go," said Mandy. "Anyone else?"
"Lemme' go too," Goku responded. "I should be able to withstand a landmine."
"Me too," Flame Princess added. "I don't want to accidentally set our construct on fire."
Numbuh 5, and Jack agreed to go as well. After deciding, they went off to find the wood.
"Ok then, Sasha, Gumball, May, and Kuki you're with me," said Mandy.
May and Numbuh 3 agreed while Gumball lay unconscious.
"Right," Mandy noted. "Let's move people."
"I'm sorry, who made you team leader?" Sasha inquired.
"Sasha..." May started, trying to calm her down.
Mandy looked over to Sasha. "I'm clearly qualified for the job."
"Yeah, OK. You shouldn't be so full of yourself kid."
"What was that?" asked Mandy as she began to walk towards Sasha.
Before the conflict could escalate, Numbuh 3 wedged her way between them. "Guys stop it! We got a challenge to win!"
"Fine," said Sasha. "My bad Mandy."
"Apology accepted."
Despite their efforts to make up, there was still some tension between the two. As the five, or should I say four of them, made preparations, Bloo, Rigby, and Mordecai ran onto the beach.
"Alright, we made it!" Rigby exclaimed.
Chris pulled out a megaphone, "RIGBY, BLOO, MORDECAI! YOU ARE ALL DISQUALIFIED!"
"WHAT!?" yelled the three of them.
"SINCE YOU WERE NOT ON THE BEACH WHEN THE CHALLENGE BEGAN, I'M AFRAID I HAD NO CHOICE!"
"Ugh, nice going, now I can't even help my team," Mordecai complained.
"Hey, it's not that bad man," said Rigby.
Mordecai proceeded to punch Rigby.
"OW!"
Meanwhile, the Whoop Butt Squad's search group was farther up ahead. As the group was looking around, Judai had the metal detector in his hand, scanning for landmines. Finn and Vegeta were already carrying a few planks of wood, and Buttercup and Biscuit were carrying shovels. Suddenly the metal detector started beeping.
"Guys stand back!" exclaimed Judai. "We got a mine here!"
"Oh, stop being such a weakling," Vegeta said. "It's probably best to destroy it now. Everyone, stand back."
Vegeta tossed the planks to Buttercup and levitated into the sky, just in case the blast from the landmine may damage him. He then proceeds to charge an energy blast, and the rest of the group clears out of the way. Before he can continue, a voice is heard over a speaker.
"VEGETA, YOU ARE OUT!" boomed Chris "NOT ONLY ARE YOU NOT ON THE BEACH, I FORGOT TO SAY FLYING IS ALSO PROHIBITED! ACTUALLY, IT'S WRITTEN IN THE CONTRACT THAT YOU CAN'T USE SELF-FLIGHT IN CHALLENGES UNLESS I SAY SO!"
"Oh, come on!?" Vegeta shouted. "Why didn't you mention that in the first place!?
Chris snickered through the speaker. "NOT MY PROBLEM! YOU'RE OUT TOO BUTTERCUP!"
"Oh, you gotta be kidding me," Buttercup complained. She handed the rest of the planks to Finn before flying back to the docks with Vegeta.
"Where is that voice even coming from?" Judai wondered.
Bisky looked up and saw a drone, with a camera and speaker attached to it. "I think we found our peeping tom."
0000000000000000000000000000000
"Great," Buttercup complained. "Now four of us are out! This cannot get any worse."
0000000000000000000000000000000
"Guys this is getting heavy," said Finn. "I'll go bring the planks back to the others." Finn started running back to the other group.
"Finn, wait!" Biscuit warned.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Finn stepped on the landmine Vegeta didn't get to blow up and was blown into the ocean.
"FINN!" yelled Biscuit and Judai.
Finn rises out of the water and starts wailing and screaming. "HELP! HELP!"
0000000000000000000000000000000
"Yeah, ever since I was a kid, I had a huge fear of the ocean." Finn then scratches his head. "What's weird is that I was never scared of rivers, lakes, ponds, or streams. Just the ocean."
0000000000000000000000000000000
"AHAHAHA," laughed Chris from the drone's speaker. "FINN IS OUT!"
As Finn was screaming, the White Lotus's search group caught up with Judai and Bisky. They were using Courage's nose to find a correct path but had yet to find any planks.
"Man, that is sad," said Numbuh 5.
Flame Princess caught sight of this, embarrassed and a bit worried. "Finn, just swim out of there!"
Unfortunately, Finn was too scared and chaotic to swim out. Goku tried to go and rescue him, but Jack held him back.
"Hold on, you go in there, and you'll get disqualified as well," Jack reminded.
"Good point," Goku said. "But someone's got to get him out."
Luckily Buttercup flew over, grabbed Finn's hand, and pulled him out of the water.
"You big baby," said Buttercup, as she flew off with Finn.
"Glad that's taken care of," Biscuit sighed. "But some of the planks we found are floating in the water! We gotta find more!"
Judai ran on ahead with Biscuit tagging behind.
Courage was sniffing a particular area in the sand. "Guys I found some planks!"
Flame Princess hurried over and started to dig, revealing 4 wooden planks.
"Neat!" said Goku. He picked up the planks and started following Courage who was continuing to sniff around.
Over back at the building stations near the docks, Ilana was panicking.
"No, no, no," Ilana groaned. She then proceeded to put her hands on the sides of her face. "How could we lose five of our team members?"
"Should we send someone to help up ahead?" Mao Mao asked. Suddenly Mao Mao put his finger on his chin. "No never mind. That would be a very dismal plan. The mines would blow us to pieces without any way to detect 'em."
"Not a problem!" Blossom exclaimed. "Luckily, I got x-ray vision, so I'll go help them out!" Blossom then ran off to join up with Judai and Bisky."
"…"
A brief silence was shared between Mao Mao, Ilana, and Sam after the recent revelation.
"…she said that so casually," Ilana said, bewildered.
"Any ideas on what to build yet?" asked Sam, holding a toolbox.
"Um, a guy kicking someone's butt?" Mao Mao suggested.
Sam sighed. "Sure, whatever. So much for decency."
Just then Goku arrived at his team's building station, dropping over a dozen planks.
"Thanks, Goku!" said May.
"Yeah…man," said a half-conscious Gumball. "You're… the best." He then fell back onto the sand.
"Ok, I'll bring back more!" Goku then ran off.
"YOU SURE YOU KNOW THE CORRECT PATH!?" yelled Sasha. Unfortunately, he was already long gone.
"Don't bother, he should be fine," said Mandy.
A distant explosion is heard up ahead.
"I'm ok!" yelled Goku from afar.
Mandy and Sasha looked at each other in disbelief. The two then walked over to Whoop Butt Squad's building station.
"How does it feel to be at a huge disadvantage?" asked Mandy.
Mao Mao stood up and faced them both. "This challenge isn't over yet!"
"Well correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't even have any planks yet," said Sasha.
"Why don't you go and worry about your own team!"
"Very well," replied Mandy, as she walked off.
Sasha waved and followed. "See ya!"
Finally, Blossom arrived with 6 planks of wood. "Sorry, this is all we found so far. The ones Finn had fallen into the water."
"Just bring more," said Sam. "We gotta win this."
Blossom nodded and ran off to join up with their search group. Meanwhile, the search group was struggling to find more planks. Biscuit was fairly good at excavating, but they didn't have a reliable method of finding planks. Biscuit held a large number of planks though, while Judai was directing them away from landmines with the metal detector. He was also carrying a shovel as well, even though he wasn't digging much.
"You know Biscuit," said Judai, "I'm surprised you can carry this much, for a little girl at least."
"Well, that's funny," Bisky replied. "I'm much older than what you think, and not to brag, but I'm considerably strong."
Judai stopped in his tracks and looked at her with a shocked expression. "How old?
Biscuit motioned her finger so she could whisper in Judai's ear. Once the boy bent over, she passed on her little secret.
"WHAT!?"
"Yes, yes. Settle down. Out of respect, that's why I told you. Now I'd recommend it'd be in your best interest not to tell anyone else."
"Um, yeah. We better get going."
"Right, carry on," Bisky replied. "I'm serious by the way."
"Got it."
Several meters behind, Team White Lotus dug up some more planks.
"Yay!" said Courage.
"Alright!" cheered Flame Princess, as she raised her hands. Unfortunately, the shovel she was holding managed to hit Courage several feet onto a mine. With a sudden boom Courage was launched into the air only to land on another mine, then another, and another, and so on.
"Uh oh."
This continued until he smashed through Team Whoop Butt Squad's construct, which wasn't even half done. Ilana, Sam, and Mao Mao yelled out in frustration.
"You stupid dog!" Mao Mao grabbed Courage by the neck. "How dare you do that!"
"Ahahahaha," Courage laughed weakly before passing out.
Over at the docks, Chris and Soldier were laughing their socks off.
"Oh man, that was awesome!" Chris exclaimed.
"MEDIC!" yelled Soldier
Zoidberg pushed a stretcher onto the beach and stopped next to Courage. Mao Mao placed him on the stretcher, and Zoidberg pushed him off the beach.
"How fortunate," Mandy said.
0000000000000000000000000000000
"Luck just seems to be shining down on us today," said Mandy.
0000000000000000000000000000000
Soon, the rest of Team White Lotus arrived with enough planks to finish their construct. Team Whoop Butt Squad eventually arrived with enough planks as well. However, the White Lotus construct was already halfway done, while Whoop Butt Squad was back at square one.
"What happened!?" Judai asked.
"Courage smashed through our building on accident," said Ilana.
"I still think it was on purpose!" Mao Mao cried.
"Crap, we won't be able to finish!" Biscuit exclaimed.
"We still got time," said Blossom. "C'mon, guys!"
Both teams worked fiercely in finishing their constructs. In about twenty minutes, Chris sees that one team has finished and walks to the building station.
"We have a winner!" said Chris. "The White Lotus!"
Sasha, Goku, Flame Princess, May, Jack, and Numbuh 3 and 5 share a collected cheer. Mandy puts her fist on her hips, somewhat proud of her team. Mordecai also rushes to the beach to cheer with them. Gumball on the other hand wakes up from his concussion.
"What happened?" Gumball asks.
"We won, dude," said Mordecai.
"Oh…nice."
"Team Whoop Butt Squad," said Chris. "Looks like you got your butts whooped. I'll be seeing you at the elimination ceremony tonight."
At the same time, Rigby, Bloo, Vegeta, Finn, and Buttercup walked on over to meet up with the rest of their team.
"We lost?" Buttercup asked.
"Good job team," Bloo said sarcastically. "Way to make us lose the challenge."
Everyone on Team Whoop Butt Squad bitterly glared at Bloo.
"What?"
XXXXXXXXXX
Later that evening, outside the mess hall, Goku was walking up to Vegeta. Goku noticed Vegeta was grumpy, though, with his long history with him, he noticed he was grumpier than usual.
"What is it Kakarot?" Vegeta asked.
"Hey Vegeta," said Goku. "I just wanted to know why you joined the show. You don't seem to be having a fun time…at all really. Something wrong?"
Vegeta paused for a bit. "Well, to be honest, I did know you were coming here. I saw it as an opportunity to challenge you for the fun of it, but this entire contest proved to be a major disappointment. I don't even need the money."
"Awwww, don't say that Vegeta. It could be fun. You just gotta give it a chance!"
"Yeah right. My team is full of incompetent fools."
And with that, Vegeta walked off to the cabins. Inside the mess hall, the Whoop Butt Squad was discussing whom they should eliminate.
"Please!" pleaded Bloo. "I'm sorry!"
"Because of your stupid prank, we were down two members," said Sam. "You even hit Ilana with a bucket."
"Sam it's ok," said Ilana.
"No, it's not," said Buttercup. "Letting these two idiots stay on our team will only slow us down."
"Hey, don't act like you didn't get disqualified," said Rigby.
"At least I tried to help my team!" Buttercup remarked. "Besides, getting booted early was super unfair!"
"Well duh!" Bloo exclaimed. "How do you think we feel? We would've helped if we could!"
"Look guys," said Finn. "We all know this is a hard decision, so let's stop talking about it."
"Yeah," said Bloo. "Why don't we talk about your apparent fear of the ocean?"
"How did you know!?"
"Oh please, you were a total wuss once you got blasted into the waters."
"Hey, lay off him, man!" Judai exclaimed.
"That's it," said Biscuit. "Since you guys are bickering like children, I'm leaving."
"To be fair, you look quite young yourself," said Blossom.
"She's actually fifty-seven," Judai blurted. A wave of guilt flashed over Judai once he realized what he had just said.
Everyone at the table paused while Biscuit sent a death stare directly at Judai.
"No way!" exclaimed Bloo. "You're an old hag!?"
With a swift, yet powerful, punch from Bisky, Bloo shot straight through the window and landed outside the mess hall. Everyone in the mess hall then stared at the broken window and proceeded to turn their attention to Biscuit, who had a furious expression on her face.
"I guess she is," Mao Mao muttered.
0000000000000000000000000000000
Bloo appeared to be covered in bandages.
"That….hag," said Bloo.
0000000000000000000000000000000
It was finally nighttime. At the campfire, the flames were burning intensely, and the Whoop Butt Squad sat around waiting for the elimination ceremony to begin. Chris then walked in front of them with a plate of marshmallows.
"Whoop Butt Squad, marshmallows are a tasty treat," said Chris. "Here at this camp, they represent life. You've all cast your votes and made your decision. There are only 10 marshmallows on this plate. When I call your name, come and claim your marshmallow. The camper who does not receive a marshmallow tonight must immediately return to the dock of shame to catch the boat of losers. That means you're out of the contest and you can't come back... ever."
Everyone but Vegeta began to look worried.
"The first marshmallow goes to, Judai."
Judai jumps up and takes his marshmallow.
"Mao Mao."
"Ha-ha! Success!" exclaimed Mao Mao. He then went up to grab a marshmallow.
"Ilana, Sam," said Chris.
The two share a high-five before claiming their marshmallows.
"Blossom."
Blossom smiles and claims her marshmallow.
"5 left," exclaimed Chris. "Finn.
"Yes!" shouts Finn.
"Vegeta, Buttercup, and… Bisky," Chris exclaims.
Vegeta grunted and reluctantly claimed his marshmallow.
"I wasn't worried," Buttercup said to herself before claiming her marshmallow.
"Yay!" exclaimed Biscuit. She happily took her marshmallow and gathered with the other safe contestants.
"Campers, only one marshmallow remains," said Chris.
Rigby and Bloo look at each other, scared of what's to come. As the scene begins to tense up, Chris extends his finger, causing Bloo and Rigby to gasp. As Chris is about to point at who will get the final marshmallow, Vegeta steps up to Chris.
"Wait," said Vegeta. "I quit."
Everyone at the campfire gasped.
"Are you sure man?" said Chris. "You'll be missing out on a million bucks."
"Trust me," said Vegeta. "I'm fine." Vegeta tosses his marshmallow back onto the plate and walks back to his cabin to grab his belongings.
"Well, I'm shocked," said Chris. "Soldier, take Bloo's stuff out of the boat!"
"Oh, cool," said Rigby. "Thought I was a goner there."
"What!" Bloo yelled. He then looked at his teammates. "You guys voted me off!?"
"Well duh," said Sam. "And don't think we won't do it again."
Chris throws marshmallows at Rigby and Bloo. Bloo gulps and walks over to the fire to roast his marshmallow.
Vegeta then walks over to the boat of losers and hops on. The boat honks twice before riding off into the distance.
0000000000000000000000000000000
"It's a shame really," said Ilana. "He was probably the strongest member of our team. We're going to have to work extra hard this time around."
0000000000000000000000000000000
The team then gathers around and extends their marshmallow sticks out.
"If I could say something," Ilana began, "I know the loss we experienced was tough, but I believe the mark of a good team is not how they behave when they're winning, but how they react when they're facing a loss."
"Agreed," Biscuit remarked.
Ilana smiled and continued. "I know for many of us it felt as if the odds were against us, but I believe if we continue to put in the effort, we'll get results. So, here's to not losing the next challenge."
"Heck, yeah!" Buttercup cheered. "To the Whoop Butt Squad!"
The rest of the team also gave positive responses or cheers.
"Here, here," Mao Mao cheered. "Still not set on the name yet."
Meanwhile, at the cabins, team White Lotus is enjoying a pizza party.
"I could get used to living like this, baby," said Numbuh 5.
"Yeah-yuh!" Mordecai hollered. "We're the champs!"
Jack laughed. "Heh, no need to get too haughty."
"Aw c'mon!" Goku exclaimed while tearing through a whole pizza. "Nothing wrong with being too celebrative, eh?"
"You're right we earned it," said May. She then raised a fist into the air. "To the White Lotus!"
"To the White Lotus!" exclaimed everyone but Mandy.
Gumball took notice of that and encouraged her to cheer along. "C'mon, you know you wanna."
Mandy sent Gumball a blank stare and took a bite of her pizza slice. "Meh."
The scene then cuts back to Chris on the docks.
"And with that, one camper is gone!" Chris exclaimed. "Tune in next time for more mayhem right here on Total. Drama. NEO!"
And with that, Vegeta is the first contestant to be eliminated. Unironically, Vegeta made it to the final 3 in my original story. This may disappoint some of you, but that's how it is.
A little fun fact, the Whoop Butt Squad was named as a reference to the original name of the Powerpuff Girls, the Whoopass Girls (I'm not kidding). This was the reason why I had Buttercup come up with it.
Finally, I'm allowing people to suggest challenges and characters that they may want to see in the future. Leave a review or PM any suggestions. Other than that, see you in the next chapter, and take care. :)
