"Last time on Total Drama Neo," Chris announced. "Our 22 campers began the second part of their challenge. You, the viewers, apparently picked the Whoop Butt Squad as the best team name. Didn't see that coming. Anyways, the Whoop Butt Squad was given a metal detector to use in a challenge where the teams had to dig up planks of wood while avoiding landmines. The teams then used their findings to build a wooden construct to represent their team. In the end, White Lotus won the challenge, forcing the Whoop Butt Squad to vote someone off. Originally, Bloo was supposed to be eliminated, but in a shocking twist of events Vegeta voluntarily left the island, saving Bloo from elimination and making me lose 20 bucks.
In the background, Zoidberg is shown to be dancing happily.
"Hooray!" Zoidberg exclaims. "I'm rich!"
"Anyways, what will freak out our campers in today's challenge? Will they buckle down under the pressure, and will I have seafood today if someone doesn't stop getting in the way of the camera?" Chris proceeded to look at Zoidberg with an annoyed expression on his face.
"Awwww," Zoidberg moped as he walked off with his head down.
"Find out today on this episode of TOTAL. DRAMA. NEO!"
(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. Zoidberg is also seen scuttling in the background.
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 3: Mann Up
The sun rises at Camp Mahpee, shining over onto the ocean. The birds are singing, the yetis read the morning paper, and the tiny animals scurry across the island. Currently, our campers sleep cozily in their cabins. Well, all except one who was hanging from a tree, and in a sleeping bag. Judai, the camper in this predicament, was still asleep. Coming out of the Whoop Butt Squad's cabin, Biscuit yawned and looked at Judai with a sinister grin.
00000000000000000000000000
"I prefer that people do not know my actual age," said Biscuit. "Judai made a promise to me, so I won't let him off easy. Well, it's not that big of a deal, I just get riled up, ok!?"
00000000000000000000000000
Suddenly the camp's loudspeakers went off and a modified version of the song "Reveille" played loudly across the island. In the Whoop Butt Squad Boy's cabin, Finn jolted up from his bed and his head hit the bunk above him.
"Ow!" Finn yelped as he rubbed his head.
"RISE AND SHINE CAMPERS!" exclaimed Chris from the loudspeaker.
Bloo grabbed his pillow and covered his ears with it. "Ugh, it's seven in the morning!"
Mao Mao jumps out of his bed and starts doing squats in the middle of the floor. "Too bad! A legendary hero must be ready to start the day!"
Bloo rolled over to stare sheepishly at Mao Mao. "If you haven't noticed, not all of us are legendary heroes. Even if you claim to be one."
Mao Mao stopped doing squats and turned to Bloo. "I'll let you know that while I'm not a legendary hero yet, I'm a well-respected sheriff of my home. I've defeated countless villains who have tried to-," Mao Mao's monologue was cut off when Rigby threw a pillow at him.
"Man, you sure know how to go on forever," Rigby remarked. "I'm going to get some grub."
"You're not gonna clean up first?" asked Mao Mao.
"Nope." Rigby opened the door to the cabin and walked out.
Mao Mao's face contorted to show his abhorrence. "Aw, disgusting!"
"Hey, Mao Mao," said Finn. "Don't worry about what people may think. I believe you're a great hero."
"Well, I'm nowhere near being a legend like the rest of my family," Mao Mao replied while seeming a bit disheartened. "So, I'm going to keep training until I do!" He then began to do push-ups on the floor.
"Good for you man," Finn encouraged with a thumbs up. After that, he got up and took a look around the cabin. "Hey, where's Judai?"
Seconds later sounds of laughter were coming outside the cabin. Rigby quickly ran back inside.
"Guys!" Rigby shouted. "Come look!"
Finn and Mao Mao followed Rigby outside of the cabin. Bloo reluctantly got out of bed and followed. Over by the trees was Judai hanging and strapped in a sleeping bag, trying to get out. Some of the others were watching and/or laughing.
"Bahahaha," laughed Buttercup. "What happened man?"
"I don't know!" yelled Judai as he squirmed. "I swore I went to bed last night!"
"Man, that's embarrassing," said Bloo as he joined in the laughter.
"Yeah, no kidding," replied Buttercup. "Maybe we should help…but maybe in a few seconds."
"I'll get you down!" Finn exclaimed. Finn proceeded to climb up the tree where Judai was hanging and untied the rope. Once he finished, Judai fell with his sleeping bag.
"Thanks, Finn," Judai whelped, slightly in pain.
"No thanks necessary." As Finn jumped down, Flame Princess walked up to him. "Oh hey FP."
"Hey," greeted Flame Princess. "Finn, I wanted to say sorry about ignoring you yesterday. I know you wanted to talk, but you know…"
"Hey, don't worry about it," reassured Finn. "We can just start things slow right?"
Flame Princess was unsure of what that meant. "I'll… think about it."
"Wow, this is getting personal," said Judai, as got up from the ground. "Well, I'm out." Judai walked off to the line at the communal bathrooms.
"See ya later!" exclaimed Finn. He then returned his attention to Flame Princess, who had already left. "Huh."
XXXXXXXXXX
Over at the mess hall, Rigby was the second person to arrive there. Zoidberg was already there, eating away all the food as Soldier was smiling with glee.
"Hello, Rigby!" Soldier said as he waved. "As a way to congratulate you all for not getting eliminated first, we ordered catering from Goth Ihop! We didn't bring any goth girls though. Chris said the budget wasn't enough."
"Fine by me, man," said Rigby. He ran up to the food serving counter and pushed Zoidberg aside. "Out of the way!"
"Aaaaahhhh!" yelled Zoidberg as he stumbled about.
Rigby looked inside to see that all the food was gone. "Hey, there's nothing in here! What gives dude!?"
"Yes," replied Soldier. "Zoidberg ate it all. He was enjoying himself so much that I couldn't stop him."
"So, we're gonna starve?"
"Not exactly, wait here." Soldier went outside for some reason. He returned holding a garbage can, swarming with maggots and flies, and walked back in. "Luckily for you, I know exactly what raccoons like you would want to eat."
"Soldier," started Rigby. "This is from yesterday's dinner."
"I know, and you will enjoy it!" Soldier grabbed a spoon and scooped some of the garbage onto the tray. "Make sure to use salt and pepper. I shouldn't have to remind you that this is trash."
"Eh, I've had worse."
"Hey, you gonna eat that?" asked Zoidberg. Before Rigby could even answer, Zoidberg plopped his face on Rigby's tray, devouring the food.
Soldier was annoyed by this and threw a spatula at Zoidberg. "Zoidberg! You crustaceous fruitcake, you've already had your fill!"
"Sorry," cried Zoidberg. "It was so appetizing!"
"Can I get some more?" Rigby asked.
00000000000000000000000000
"Garbage isn't the worse thing I've eaten before," said Rigby. "One time I ate a fried soda cup. Another time I made the mother of all cocktail drinks, RigJuice!" Rigby couldn't help but feel nostalgic. "Now that was the grossest but coolest thing ever."
00000000000000000000000000
Meanwhile, in the communal bathroom, Mao Mao was blocking Judai and Jack from going inside.
"What's this about?" Judai asked.
"Sorry but ladies first," said Mao Mao. "These may be communal bathrooms, but we should be gentlemen."
"I suppose you're right," Jack agreed. "But I really need to go. I'm going in the forest."
"Good idea," said Judai. "I'm gonna wait though."
Jack heads off while Mao Mao and Judai wait outside. As they wait, Biscuit walks up to the communal bathrooms.
"Hey Bisky!" exclaimed Judai. "Sorry about last night."
"Don't worry," said Biscuit. "I'm over it now."
Biscuit walked inside the bathrooms as Judai and Mao Mao look at each other awkwardly.
"I seriously thought she was 12," said Mao Mao. "Crazy huh?"
"Ha-ha, no kidding," laughed Judai.
At the same time when Biscuit walked in. The communal bathrooms were surprisingly decent. Unlike the confessional booth, the communal bathrooms were somewhat clean. However, that's probably not saying much since the confessional booth has never been cleaned. Close to the right side of the entrance were the toilet stalls, of which there were 4. To the left of the entrance were 4 sinks and 4 soap containers. On the right side farther in the back were 4 shower stalls. For some odd reason, one of them had a mushroom growing in it.
"Morning everyone," said Biscuit.
The only people in the bathrooms were Sam, Numbuh 5, Sasha, and Blossom. Sasha was in one of the shower stalls, while the other three were at the sinks.
"Hey Bisky," said Sam.
"Morning," said Numbuh 5.
"Good morning Ms. Bisky!" exclaimed Blossom.
Biscuit walked over to one of the sinks while the others stared at her for a bit.
"Hey Bisky," said Numbuh 5. "Are you basically living like a kid forever? Not to be rude or anything, but I think that's really cool."
Biscuit raised an eyebrow at that statement, but at the same time, she was flattered. "Well as you found out yesterday, yes I'm 57. However, this was the body I wished for, and I don't know how I got it."
"How did you do that?" asked Blossom.
"As I said, I don't know," Biscuit smugly replied.
"You're lucky, sometimes I wish I could be a kid forever," said Blossom.
"Numbuh 5 agrees," said Numbuh 5.
"Yeah, but you gotta grow up eventually," Sam remarked.
"True," Biscuit agreed. "Even when looking like this I still feel old." Bisky paused a bit and then turned to Numbuh 5. "Hey, Abby."
"Yeah?"
"Who's Numbuh 5?"
Numbuh 5 paused a bit as she realized what had happened. While she was highly furious with herself, she decided to muddle the truth. "Oh, it's just a nickname Kuki and my friends call me back home. I call her Numbuh 3 while I'm Numbuh 5."
"So, you like referring to yourself in the third person then?" asked Sam.
"Uh, yes," Numbuh 5 replied. "It's a habit."
"That's cute," Biscuit commented.
00000000000000000000000000
"There's no doubt in my mind that Abby, or Numbuh 5, was hiding something," said Bisky. "Being a liar for all my life, I can tell when someone is lying on a whim. Something tells me she's still hiding something else, but I shouldn't worry too much.
00000000000000000000000000
"Hey, hurry up in there!" yelled Mao Mao from outside. "Some of us are about to spring a leak!"
"Weren't you saying ladies first earlier!?" Judai asked from outside.
"Well, I'll see y'all later," said Numbuh 5, as she walked out of the bathrooms.
Once she left, she decided to go look for Numbuh 3 and inform her about her mistake. Numbuh 3 was in the communal bathrooms earlier before Biscuit came, so she was either in the cabins or the mess hall. Numbuh 5 went to the mess hall first based on a hunch. Once she arrived, Numbuh 3 was seated at the White Lotus's table, holding a rainbow monkey doll. Also sitting at the table were Courage and Jack. Courage seemed to have garbage on his plate, while Jack was sipping a hot cup of tea.
Numbuh 3 noticed Numbuh 5 and waved over at her. Jack turned to see her as well and smiled.
Numbuh 5 walked over to the table to greet the 3 of them. "Morning Jack, Courage."
"Good morning," Jack replied.
Courage smiled and waved. "Hey!"
"Hey, Numbuh 3, wanna help me with something at the cabins?" asked Numbuh 5.
Numbuh 3 was surprised to be referred to by her codename. "Aw, but Mr. Fluffykins didn't get to eat!"
"Sorry, but this is important."
She then got up and followed Numbuh 5 out of the mess hall.
Jack and Courage wondered why Numbuh 5 called Kuki that, but since it didn't bother them that much, they didn't ask.
"Numbuh 5," said Numbuh 3. "I thought you said we wouldn't call each other that."
"I know, Numbuh 5 messed up," Numbuh 5 replied. "But apparently they don't think much of it, so I guess it doesn't matter."
"Ok," Numbuh 3 joyfully expressed. "Numbuh 5 do you have any food? The mess hall didn't have any."
"Yeah, I can tell. Luckily, Numbuh 5 brought a candy stash from home."
"Yay! Candy!"
XXXXXXXXXX
Far from the cabins, Goku, Gumball, and Flame Princess were by the lake.
"Thanks again for helping us get food Goku," said Flame Princess.
"No problem," said Goku. "No way was I eating trash." Goku then took off his gi and was about to take off his pants too until Gumball and Flame Princess stopped him.
"Dude, what are you doing!?" yelled Gumball.
"Yeah, are you crazy or something!?" Flame Princess added, who was furious.
"Oh, sorry!" Goku apologized. "I didn't want to get my clothes wet before I fished."
"You don't have to get naked to fish," responded Gumball. "Besides I figured you'd have a rod somewhere."
"Nope, I just swim and catch one. Besides, I don't get naked. I keep my boxers on. You guys should go off and wait a bit."
"Sure thing," Gumball replied.
Goku went back to taking off his clothes, while the other turned and walked several meters away. Gumball sat down on a nearby log but couldn't notice that Flame Princess seemed tense.
"Hey FP, you alright?" Gumball asked.
"I'm…. fine," she replied.
She wasn't, but Gumball knew it was best to leave her alone. Several seconds later, Flame Princess finally calmed down.
"Sorry about that Gumball," Flame Princess. "I was just trying to control my anger."
"You got angry because a guy was taking his clothes off?" Gumball asked.
"I thought he was going to do something to us! I mean we've only known each other for a day and now some guy, I don't know anything about, takes us far away from camp, and without warning, takes off his clothes!"
Flame Princess was beginning to heat up.
"Trust me FP, no one would ever want to do something like that to you. I mean who wants to be with a girl that's on fire?"
Flame Princess opened her mouth as she showed an expression of disbelief mixed with anger.
Gumball realized what he had said and quickly tried to apologize. "I mean no normal person would want to do that to you. Like messed up stuff, not romantic stuff. Besides, I think Goku might be soft in the head."
Flame Princess sat down beside Gumball. "Gumball I'm sorry about that. I just get emotional about things like that."
"Yeah, I understand. Sorry about what I said earlier."
Gumball and Flame Princess proceed to stay silent for several seconds. The sounds of the leaves on the trees rustling and the birds chirping accompany the silence.
"You have a boyfriend FP?" asked Gumball.
"I had one," Flame Princess replied. "You know Finn?"
"Oh, so that's why he was talking to you."
"Yeah. Sadly, something happened between us. I don't like to talk about it. How about you?"
A proud smile formed on Gumball's lips. "You might be surprised, but I do have a girlfriend back home."
"Wow. I figured most people would find you annoying."
Gumball is a bit stunned by that comment, but he laughs it off anyway. "Well, either way, we both trust each other, and I think that's what makes it work."
"Huh, I see."
Finally, Goku arrives, fully clothed, and holding a comically large fish. "Breakfast is ready guys!"
Gumball jumps up from the log he was sitting on. "Man, that thing is huge!"
"Yup," replied Goku. "Hey Flame Princess, wanna cook this? Figured you could handle it."
Flame Princess was hesitant at first, but eventually, she got up and smiled. "Sure."

Back at the White Lotus Girl's cabin, Numbuh 5 was searching relentlessly for the candy she brought.
"Where is it, where is it?" Numbuh 5 repeated to herself as she checked under her bed.
"Who could've stolen it?" asked Numbuh 3.
"I don't know, but Numbuh 5 is gonna make someone pay."
00000000000000000000000000
"I just can't believe someone would do this," said Numbuh 5. "It hasn't even been a week, and someone is already stealing stuff."
00000000000000000000000000
As the two girls search, May and Sasha walk into the cabin.
"Hey, does anyone know when the challenge starts?" asked May.
"Nope," answered Numbuh 3. An expression of joy appeared on her face. "Maybe we don't have a challenge."
"Then Chris might have woken us up for nothing, great," Sasha complained. "What's she doing?"
"Someone took my candy!" said Numbuh 5.
"Bummer," said Sasha.
After that response, Numbuh 5 stared at Sasha, suspiciously. At the same time, Sasha realized what that meant.
"Hey, don't go thinking it was the two of us," said Sasha. "I didn't even know you had any!"
"Well, then who took it?" asked Numbuh 5.
Over at the Whoop Butt Squad's cabin, Bloo was getting the attention of his teammates. He was also holding a large sack of candy.
"Bloo, what's that?" asked Finn.
"My fellow teammates," Bloo began, "I am so sorry about my behavior yesterday."
"That's great Bloo," said Ilana. "Although, we'd like to know why you're holding that."
"To show my sincerest apologies, I got this!" Bloo opens the bag and reveals an assortment of candy.
Buttercup quickly flies over to Bloo, "Holy crap!"
00000000000000000000000000
"That was really cool for Bloo to do," said Buttercup. "But am I going to vote for him next time? Of course!"
00000000000000000000000000
As Buttercup stuffs herself with candy, Blossom hovered over to Bloo.
"Bloo this is great and all, but where did you get this?" Blossom asked. "It's not like the mess hall serves this kind of stuff."
"Also, there's no way you could've gotten into the staff quarters," said Sam. "Security is pretty tight there."
"Did you steal it?" asked Mao Mao.
"Relax guys," said Bloo. "You should just enjoy it and not vote for me. I mean, we should be friends, right?"
The others were unconvinced by Bloo's actions.
"Eh, whatever," said Buttercup.
00000000000000000000000000
"After yesterday's elimination ceremony, I realized that in order to stay longer, I need to bribe my teammates," said Bloo. "Who cares where the candy is from? That's not important. What's important is that I stay in the game."
00000000000000000000000000
Just then, Numbuh 5 and Numbuh 3 walked out of their cabin. They were then followed by May and Sasha. Numbuh 5 looked over to where the Whoop Butt Squad was gathered and noticed that Bloo was holding her bag of candy.
"Oh I had to see it to believe it!" yelled Numbuh 5. "What are you doing with my candy!?"
Mao Mao, Buttercup, Rigby, and Finn quickly put back the candy they took.
"I knew you stole it!" said Mao Mao.
"Yeah, how could you?" Buttercup asked.
Blossom and Sam rolled their eyes. At the same time, Numbuh 5 hurried her way over to Bloo, as Bloo began to start running for his life.
"Get back here!" yelled Numbuh 5.
"What's going on?" asked Jack, as he was walking over to the cabins with Courage. Mandy was also behind them.
"Bloo's just getting what he deserves," Sam answered.
"Strangely I'm not surprised," said Mandy.
Suddenly, Chris parks a dune buggy in front of the campers. "Morning campers! Hope you enjoyed today's pancake breakfast."
"There were pancakes?' said Goku, as he arrives with Flame Princess and Gumball.
"Yes, there were. Unfortunately, Zoidberg couldn't help himself. Luckily, Soldier had a backup plan."
"I don't think anyone ate that stuff," Ilana remarks.
"Yes, and now some of us are starving," said Mandy. Her stomach grumbled as she spoke. "Please tell us you have actual food."
"I couldn't care less," said Chris. "Now, it's time to start your next challenge. Hey, where's Bloo and Abby?"
Just then, Bloo hid behind Chris's dune buggy. Numbuh 5 tries to rush over to him but is held back by Mordecai and Gumball.
"Um Bloo, leave," Chris commanded. "Now."
Bloo slid over to his team as everyone else gave him judgmental looks.
Chris shook his head, not impressed by Bloo's antics. "Now then, the location of your next challenge will not be on the island. Instead, we're heading to a classic location from Total Drama history. Camp Wawanakwa!"
"Didn't the island sink in All-Stars?" asked Mordecai.
"Yes," replied Chris. "However, due to some contrived reason, the island rose from the ocean."
"That still doesn't explain anything," Ilana pointed out.
"That's great," said Chris. "Now get on the boat, or you're off the show!"
One by one, the campers walked over to the docks. The boat turned out to be a yacht.
As this happens, Sasha walks beside Mordecai. "Hey Mordecai, don't mess up this time,"
"What are you talking about?" inquired Mordecai. He then realized what she meant. "You mean how I got disqualified yesterday?"
"100 percent. Look I know Rigby's your friend, but you can't throw away challenges for him."
"I didn't throw away the challenge for him. No one even knew we could get disqualified for that."
"I get that Mordecai. Though we're a team, and we can't let anyone jeopardize us, you know?"
Mordecai sighs. "I understand."
Sasha lightly elbows Mordecai. "It's alright big guy, just lookin' out for everyone."
00000000000000000000000000
"Rigby's my friend and I wouldn't want to screw him over," said Mordecai. "Still, Sasha's right, I should focus on the team more."
00000000000000000000000000
The campers have finally gotten onto the boat, and in less than an hour, they finally arrive at Camp Wawanakwa. Strangely enough, the island looked the same, except for the buildings that were destroyed. Plus, the dock was missing as well. Chris walks onto the front deck and takes a deep breath.
"Ahh, good to be back," Chris nostalgically announced. "Campers, time to disembark!"
Several minutes later, the campers are now gathered on the beachside and are waiting for the instructions for their challenge.
"Alright campers, listen up," exclaimed Chris. "Today's challenge will be a scavenger hunt."
"Lame!" Bloo shouted.
Chris was mad that he got interrupted but continued talking anyway. "What you are going to be looking for are items given to us by today's sponsor, Mann Co.! We sell products and get in fights. Shop at Mann Co. today!"
"Wow, they got you to do an advertisement?" asked Sasha.
"Yes," answered Chris. "It's how I keep my job. Anyways, there are 21 items hidden around the island. These include three Mann Co. items; Mad Milk, Crit-a-Cola, and Bonk! Atomic Punch. Do not drink any of these, you could get seriously messed up."
"Sure thing!" Goku gave Chris a thumbs up.
Chris pulls up a diagram showing the three items, with one particular object in the right corner. The one that wasn't mentioned seemed to be yellow liquid in a jar. "Now listen very closely, Mad Milks are worth 3 points, Crit-a-Colas are worth 5, and the Atomic Punch is worth 10. There are 12 Mad Milks, 6 Crit-a-Colas, and 3 Atomic Punches. The more points they're worth, the harder they are to find. Each camper can only bring one item to this starting point, and the team with the most points wins. If you bring back nothing, not only will your team be mad at you, but you gain no points. Also, once everyone comes back, the challenge is over. However, if you don't come back in 2 hours, your team loses 10 points "
"What's that last item there?" May asked as she points to the diagram.
"I'm getting to that," Chris responded, mildly annoyed. "This is called Jarate. It's worth a special number of points, and there is only one on the island. Find it, and I'll tell you how you can win your points."
00000000000000000000000000
"I wonder what's so special about it?" pondered Jack.
00000000000000000000000000
"I should probably keep an eye out for it," said Sasha. "That could definitely be a game changer."
00000000000000000000000000
"Maybe Chris will let us drink our prizes after the challenge?" Goku pondered. "I wonder how they taste?"
00000000000000000000000000
"Hey Chris, is there anything dangerous we should watch out for on the island?" asked Judai. "Like bears?"
"Oh, don't worry, all the animals on the island died," Chris replied bluntly.
"That's… very sad," Sam whimpered.
"That's why we brought in new ones to keep you on your tails!" Chris exclaimed with excitement.
"What!?" yelled Courage.
"Yup! Soldier and a few interns brought them out this morning. In short, we lost 2 interns, and Soldier got his hand removed."
"He lost his hand!?" exclaimed Gumball.
"Wait he had both hands today," said Rigby.
"Well, duh," responded Chris. "I said he got his hand removed. I didn't say he lost it. Thankfully, in three tries, Zoidberg finally sowed it back on. You might not be as lucky as Soldier though, so it's great that you can't sue us."
"That shouldn't be a problem," said Goku. "I've faced worse than that."
"No kidding," said Biscuit.
"This should be a piece of cake," said Blossom.
Some of the less physically fit campers were not as happy about this.
"Ok then," said Courage, as he shivered.
00000000000000000000000000
"I've got a bad feeling about this, or my name is 'Stinky Lou Lou,'" said Courage. "And thank goodness it's not!"
00000000000000000000000000
Judai leaned over to Finn. "Man, why does every challenge so far have to be dangerous?"
Finn shrugged, but unlike Judai he was pumped. "Nothing I can't handle though. Danger's my middle name!"
"Chris, wait!" Sam exclaimed. "Clearly, you're endangering the an-"
Unfortunately, Chris had no intention of listening to Sam. "Remember the rules, and also no flying." He pointed at the campers as he said this. "I'm not going to name names, but it makes the challenges a lot less exciting. Goku, Blossom, Buttercup."
"Yeah, yeah," Buttercup replied while crossing her arms. "We heard you the first time."
"Mordecai," said Chris.
"Dude, I can't fly," said Mordecai.
"Alright then. Jeez, why are you a blue jay anyways? Ok, is everyone ready? ….GO!"
The campers spread across the island, looking for the objects they need. As they leave, Chris turns and faces the camera.
"Looks like our campers are well on their way," exclaims Chris. "Will they fall victim to whatever crazy beasts are on the island? Find out right after the break!"
A commercial starts with text reading out 'The Insult That Made A Jarate Master Out of Sniper.'
Two men are shown to be enjoying a picnic at a capture point. One was a slim, young, Caucasian man. He wore a mercenary cap, a headset, a red-colored shirt, baseball shoes, and gray baseball pants. The other seemed to be a Caucasian man in his thirties. He wore a hat, yellow-tinted sunglasses, a sleeveless jacket, brown pants, and leather shoes. These two were named Red Scout and Red Sniper respectively.
As they were trying to enjoy their picnic a man in a Caucasian man in a blue suit ran past them. He was known as the Blu Spy. As he did, he sprayed gravel over the Scout and the Sniper.
"Hey! We're trying to enjoy this capture point, you bully!" yelled Sniper.
"Gravel? What a nuisance!" cried Scout.
"Haw Haw!" laughed Spy. "What are you going to do? Run five miles away and shoot me?"
"Ye-No…" said Sniper. He then thought, "How did he know?" As the spy ran off and laughed, Sniper became very cross. "Why, that gravel-kicking… always guessing my plans…"
Scout on the other hand didn't seem to care. "Whatever. Let's go get tacos."
The scene cuts to the Sniper kicking a chair. "I'm sick and tired of getting picked on by men my own size!" He then picks up a book and finds a particular article. "What's this? Jarate?"
Later, the sniper is found in the bathroom, with two jars of yellow liquid on a nearby counter. "Boy! Those Saxton Hale Jarate Pills tripled the size of my kidneys! And Thanks to my Saxton Hale Pain Tonic, I can barely feel my organs shutting down! He thought of everything! That spy won't know what hit him!"
The next day, Sniper and Scout were once again enjoying their picnic. However, the Blu Spy showed up as well.
Sniper quickly noticed the Spy. "You again? Here's something I owe you! From my body!" Sniper then proceeds to chuck the Jarate straight at the Spy.
It only took seconds for the Spy to realize what had hit him, and he proceeded to scream, then ran off disgusted, and in shame. This is accompanied by laughter from several other men.
"I didn't think you had it in you, Sniper!" complimented Scout.
"Jarate? That looks effective! But complicated…" said one of the other men.
"IT IS NOT COMPLICATED!" booms a loud, testosterone-filled voice.
Rock music is now being played, and a buff man, wearing nothing but a hat, shorts, and tennis shoes, jumps past an explosion. He also had bizarre Australia-shaped chest hair.
"How do I know? I am from Australia! And the events dramatized in this commercial actually happened… TO ME! Remember that one part earlier, in the bathroom? That was not time-lapse magic! I kicked a chair across the room, and seconds later I knew Jarate! NOW YOU CAN TOO! Jarate causes your enemies to lose the WILL TO LIVE and take more damage from incoming fire! You may say, 'But I don't have enemies!' Well, do you have FRIENDS? Are they on FIRE? Right NOW? Jarate them to a non-on-fire state INSTANTLY! Being on fire is horrible! They'll never want to talk about your Jarate rescue ever again, but you'll have their secret undying gratitude! Your enemies will wish they could forget their encounter with Jarate! Too bad! The IMMEDIATE EFFECTS are temporary. As the first damp moment stretches into months, however- as years become long, regret-filled decades, Jarate reveals its TRUE POWER: forcing your enemies to accept a terrifying new existence, where people do awful things to them, ALL THE TIME, for NO REASON and DIGNITY DOES NOT EXIST. They will think about Jarate at their weddings – at their high school reunions - witnessing the birth of their first beautiful child – Jarate will haunt their every waking moment for the REST OF THEIR LIVES!"
The screen fades to black, until the background changes to bright colors. The Australian man appears once more to give more information.
"If you act now, in addition to my complete course, you will also get these 5 valuable outline courses. DRUNKEN BOXING. DRUNKEN HEADBUTTING. SHAOLIN DRUNKEN KNIFE WRESTLING. DRUNKEN CRY-FIGHTING. DRUNKEN APOLOGY-MAKING."
The commercial ends with an automated voice saying, "Brought to you by Mann Co., We sell products and get in fights."
Back at Camp Wawanakwa. Twenty-five minutes have passed since Chris gave the order to move out. May, Sasha, and Gumball are shown to be searching together. Out of all of them, May was already holding a glass of Mad Milk.
"Alright!" May exclaimed, jiggling her bottle. "Now all we have to do is find two more for you guys!"
"We should look for a Crit-a-Cola or an Atomic Punch," said Sasha.
"Chris said these do get harder to find," said Gumball. "No way am I getting killed for a drink."
A smug grin appears on Sasha's face. "Feeling a bit chicken, eh Gumball?"
"No!" he snapped. "I'm just not the strong type. I'm more of the intellectual type."
"Alright Gumball," what direction are we facing in?" said May.
"West."
"North."
"How did you know?"
"We've been walking straight north for more than 25 minutes now. I figured an intellectual would want to keep track of where we are."
"Well, direction just isn't my forte."
"Sshhhhh," Sasha held the other two back and motioned her head forward. "Guys look up ahead."
Up in front was a cave, and right outside was a panther. The panther spotted the trio, and slowly paced toward them. Shocked and afraid, the three of them backed up slowly, Gumball in particular was wetting his pants.
00000000000000000000000000
"I really wish I had my pokemon," said May.
00000000000000000000000000
"What do we do?" asked May.
"We can't outrun it," said Sasha. "We may have to take it on."
"Yeah right!" cried Gumball. "Do you want to get us killed!?"
"Gumball, why don't you go over there and talk to him?" said Sasha. "You're both cats, right?"
"I find that very offensive!"
Without another word, Sasha threw Gumball straight into the cave, distracting the panther. This gave Sasha enough time to grab a large tree branch and hit the panther repeatedly on the head. May was the only other person witnessing this, and while she was grateful Sasha saved them, she couldn't help but be disturbed by what Sasha had just done. Sasha was finally done beating the panther to a pulp and wiped the sweat off her forehead.
"Alright, let's go get Gumball," Sasha said, advancing to the cave.
"R-right," stammered May. "Let's go then."
00000000000000000000000000
"I was surprised I was able to do that," Sasha happily exclaimed. "Guess my training back at Amphibia paid off. Thanks, Grime!"
00000000000000000000000000
"Good things we're friends," said May, as she let out a nervous laugh. "Still, I can't believe she sacrificed Gumball like that."
00000000000000000000000000
As May and Sasha were walking into the cave, May couldn't help but form doubts in her head. Sasha was nice, beautiful, and overall pleasant enough to talk to. Though she couldn't help that there was something off about her.
"Sasha, maybe it wasn't a good idea to throw Gumball like that," May reckoned.
"Yeah, but it worked see," Sasha then pointed to Gumball who was holding a Crti-a-Cola.
"Guys look what I found!" Gumball waved the can in front of them.
"See, now we have 8 points between us," said Sasha.
"Yeah, but-" started May, but she was cut off by Sasha.
"Let's go find one more. Maybe we could sabotage the other teams after that."
"Oh, by the way, thanks for risking my life, Sasha," Gumball grumbled.
"I wasn't gonna let you die," replied Sasha. "It was all part of the plan."
"Yeah, whatever."
The trio walked out of the cave and went back to searching in the forest.
XXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile, Courage and Jack were searching for the items around a cave, far away from Sasha's group. Jack stood resolutely and searched without fear. Courage on the other hand, was shaking as he stepped.
"You know, you're not the first talking dog I've met," said Jack. 'I've met a lot during my travels."
"That's nice," said Courage, still shaking in fear.
"No need to fear the forest, Courage. What may seem terrifying at first, can easily be pleasant."
Courage clasped his paws. "Yeah, well, not everything is pleasant."
"Ha-ha, that is true."
Suddenly, there was a rustle in one of the nearby bushes. Courage quickly hid behind Jack, as Jack stood ready to face whatever popped out. However, it turns out just to be a bunny. Jack walks over, crouches, and pets the creature.
"Ha-ha, you gave us a little scare, little friend," said Jack. "C'mon, let's go Courage."
As Jack walked onwards, Courage let out a sigh of relief. This is cut short, as a bear knocks out Courage and drags him to its cave. Jack was unaware of this, so he kept walking forward.
XXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile, Bloo was over by the largest cliff on the island, searching for any item he could find. He checked one of the nearby bushes, and sure enough, he found a bottle of Mad Milk.
"Yes!" he exclaimed. "Now to turn in my prize."
Suddenly, a hawk swooped down and took the bottle. Bloo wasn't going to give up so easily, so he jumped after the hawk and grabbed onto the bottle. Since Bloo was pulling it down, the hawk had no choice but to release the bottle and by extension Bloo. Bloo proceeded to fall smackdown onto the base of the cliff, knocking him out cold.
XXXXXXXXXX
Over in the forest, Mordecai was still searching for any of the items. Just then, Rigby ran up to him.
"Hey Mordecai!" said Rigby. "You found anything yet?"
"No, dude," Mordecai replied. "Nothing yet."
"Hey, should stick together," said Rigby. "We can totally find a bunch of crap! What do you say?"
Mordecai liked the idea, but he remembered what Sasha talked to him about. "Sorry dude, but we should work on our own."
"Ughhh, but why?"
"We're on different teams, Rigby. What if we find an item that is worth more? Who takes it then?"
"Yeah, but we can always find another one."
"You heard Chris. There are only so many of those on the island. I bet some of the others have found most of them by now."
Rigby's expression changed to disappointment. "Fine, I'll go look somewhere else!"
Rigby then ran off while Mordecai felt bad about telling Rigby to go. However, he knew that helping his team was the logical thing to do, but was it the morally right thing to do? Rigby on the other hand stopped and noticed something hanging from a tree branch. It was the jar of Jarate. Realizing a way, he could get his team to appreciate him, Rigby began to climb.
XXXXXXXXXX
Back at the cave, Courage woke up from unconsciousness and noticed the bear was staring right at him. At first, he jumped back and screamed, but he noticed that only scared the bear, who ran away in fright. Courage stopped screaming and observed the fellow animal. He noticed that this bear was fairly young; it probably wasn't even an adult. Courage slowly walked up to it and noticed it was depressed.
"What's wrong?" Courage asked.
The bear didn't know how to respond, but its instincts told it that Courage meant no harm. Courage remembered that Chris said he brought these animals in. He didn't know the method of how he got them, but it's possible that this bear was taken from its family. Courage then found an item he thought would never find. It was a Bonk! Atomic Punch. Courage picked it up and noticed the bear didn't mind. Courage waved and began to walk out of the cave, but the bear motioned for him not to leave.
Now Courage knew that he had to finish this challenge on time, so his team wouldn't incur a penalty. However, it was still possible that this bear could kill him, and that would be even worse. Courage decided to stay with them until he could find some way to leave.
XXXXXXXXXX
Over by another part of the island, Ilana and Sam were searching for an item they could find.
"It's been an hour already," Ilana noted. "And I still haven't found anything."
Sam was swinging her Mad Milk and was also concerned about what to do. "Should we retrace our steps?"
"Maybe," Ilana responded. "Hey look!"
On top of a nearby log, was a bottle of Mad Milk. Ilana quickly ran over to claim it, but it was unfortunately smashed by an incoming rock. Ilana looked in the direction it was thrown and noticed Mandy was standing right there.
"Apologies," said Mandy. "Though we're on opposite teams, and I'm afraid that was the logical thing to do."
Mandy ran off to the starting point, while Ilana kicked the dirt.
"It's ok Ilana," reassured Sam. "We'll just find another one."
"Yeah, I hope you're right."
00000000000000000000000000
"I can't believe Mandy would do that!" exclaimed Ilana.
00000000000000000000000000
Over at the starting point, Chris was waiting patiently for more campers to arrive. On the White Lotus, Flame Princess, Goku, Numbuh 3, Gumball, Sasha, May, and Numbuh 5 were waiting for the rest of their team. Their combined total of points was 32. Over with the Whoop Butt Squad, Finn, Judai, Buttercup, Biscuit, Blossom, and Mao Mao were waiting for their teammates. Their combined total was 31. Just then Mandy showed up, and with her bottle of Mad Milk, increasing the White Lotus' score to 35.
"Damn," murmured Judai. "I hope the others get here soon."
"I wish I got, a Crit-a-Cola or Punch," said Mao Mao. "But I couldn't find any!"
"Don't beat yourself up," said Biscuit. "Let's put our faith in the others."
Less than forty minutes remained and Courage, Jack, Mordecai, Bloo, Rigby, Ilana, and Sam were the only ones not back. 35 minutes passed, and Mordecai, Jack, Sam, Rigby, and Ilana arrived. Rigby presented the Jarate to Chris.
"Well, looks like you found it," said Chris. "Mordecai and Jack, you've increased your team's total by 8 points, bringing your team's total to 43!"
The White Lotus cheered, and Mordecai and Jack exchanged a high-five. Jack didn't seem as happy though.
"Whoop Butt Squad, Sam was the only person to bring any of the regular items. Sadly, your score is now 34."
"I'm sorry everyone," apologized Ilana. "I just couldn't find anything, and we couldn't afford the penalty."
"Courage and Bloo seem to be the only ones left," said Chris.
"Where is Courage?" asked Flame Princess.
"Yeah, I thought he was with you Jack?" questioned Goku.
"It seems we may have a problem," Jack sighed. "Courage went missing."
Everyone gasped.
"Like dead missing or missing-missing?" said Chris.
"He was with me an hour ago, but it took me a few minutes to realize he was gone," said Jack. "I searched tirelessly for him, but I couldn't find him. So, I hoped he would've already made it back here."
"Are you telling us that Courage could easily cost us the game!?" said Sasha.
"You do realize his life is more important than the challenge, right?" asked Numbuh 5.
"Yeah, besides we could still win," said Gumball.
"Maybe, Bloo still isn't here yet," said Goku. "But we don't even know what the Jarate does."
"Allow me to explain," Chris grinned. "The Jarate is worth 20 points!"
The campers shared a collective gasp.
"Aw yay-yuh!" exclaimed Rigby. "In your face!"
"However, in order to gain your points, Rigby must drink it," Chris explained, pointing at the jar. "Oh, by the way, that isn't lemonade or tea. That's piss."
"What!?" yelled Rigby. "WHAT!?"
"Are you sick!?" Sam barked.
"Yeah, that's gross!" Blossom exclaimed.
"Well, Rigby doesn't have to drink it," said Chris. "However, Bloo and Courage still determine which team will win. If Rigby doesn't drink the Jarate by the time they get here, or when the two hours are up, he will gain no points."
The Whoop Butt Squad worriedly looks over at Rigby. Rigby simply had a scared look on his face.
00000000000000000000000000
"I know I've drank gross stuff before, but this is piss!" said Rigby. "I don't even know whose piss this is! Aw, my team will vote me off for sure."
00000000000000000000000000
"I don't blame Rigby for this," said Mao Mao. "I wouldn't drink it either."
00000000000000000000000000
Buttercup was howling with laughter.
00000000000000000000000000
"I thought the mines were crazy, but this is definitely insane," Numbuh 5 complained.
00000000000000000000000000
"I was thinking, If Rigby drinks this, I'm gonna have so much respect for him," said Finn. "But I may never be able to look at him again without feeling disgusted."
00000000000000000000000000
"I honestly thought that he was gonna die if he drank it," Mandy remarked.
00000000000000000000000000
Only a few minutes remained. Rigby saw no sign of Bloo or Courage, but this could allow his team to take the lead. He then realized that Bloo might as well be eliminated today, which made him feel bad since he kind of liked him. More importantly, he wanted to prove is a worthy asset to his team.
"What are you gonna do, dude?" Mordecai asked. He was worried about his friend, but he'd rather have him not drink it so his team could win the challenge.
Rigby made his decision, twisted off the top of the jar, and drank the Jarate with no pause or breaks. The others were either amazed, shocked, disgusted, or all of the above. Rigby finished drinking it, fell, and started spazzing out.
"…uh," Ilana stuttered. "Ok…that just happened…"
"Holy crap!" shouted Chris. "I didn't think he would do it! The Whoop Butt Squad won 20 points, bringing their total to 54! Somebody, get his stomach pumped!"
The Whoop Butt Squad begrudgingly cheered Rigby on, who was too busy spazzing out to notice.
"Rigby, that was the grossest thing you ever did, but man I'm glad you did it!" Finn exclaimed.
"I agree," Mao Mao added. "Thanks for taking one for the team!"
Zoidberg quickly brought a stretcher and wheeled Rigby onto the boat.
Chris took his eyes away from Rigby to check his watch. "Well, 2 hours have passed. Courage and Bloo will now receive a penalty."
Back at the base of the cliff, Bloo finally woke up.
"Aw man, how long was I out?" he pondered. Bloo picked up the bottle of Mad Milk beside him and quickly ran to the starting area. However, his foot kicked over an item buried in the sand. "What's this?"
Bloo picked up a wooden Chris-shaped head. It had a seal of approval and a carved inscription that said, "Use this to save yourself from elimination." Bloo quickly realized what this meant and stashed it away. He then continued to run back to the starting area.
Several minutes had passed and finally, Bloo arrived.
"Welcome back, Bloo," said Chris. "Unfortunately, your team lost 10 points, but I see you have a Mad Milk, so your total is now 47."
"Where were you?" asked Biscuit.
"I got knocked out ok," Bloo replied. "It wasn't my fault!"
Finally, Courage arrived, but he was being followed by the bear he met.
"Hey look it's Courage!" exclaimed Numbuh 3. Her eyes shot wide open after she said that. "AND HE BROUGHT A BEAR!"
"Courage, what are you doing!?" Chris yelled.
"Don't worry, I'll take it down!" Buttercup got ready to attack until Courage jumped in the way.
"No wait!" Courage immediately jumped in front of the creature. "Don't you see!? She doesn't want to be here! She must have been taken away from her family and is probably scared. Someone had to help her!"
"I see," Mandy said while walking over to him. "But did you forget about the challenge? Thanks to you, we lost 10 points."
"I didn't, but I couldn't just leave," Courage responded, holding up a can of Atomic Punch.
"Well, your team now has 43 points," said Chris. "But that's still not enough, so the Whoop Butt Squad wins!"
The Whoop Butt Squad shares a collective cheer.
"It's alright Courage, what you did was brave and noble," Jack reassured.
"Yeah, too bad you blew it," Sasha remarked.
Courage looks down, ashamed at what he caused.
"Soldier, have you gotten all the animals?" said Chris, speaking on a cellphone. "What do you mean the panther is dead? Oh well, it happens; c'mon campers let's go."
Sasha releases a sigh of relief. The last thing she wanted to face was legal charges.
"Hold on Chris!" Sam blurted out. She had wanted to say something to him for quite a long time. "You've abducted animals, allowed them to get harmed, and you think you did nothing wrong?"
Chris looked slightly puzzled. "Um, no? I paid for the right to use them."
At this point Sam was furious. "That's animal cruelty!"
"Alright, alright, you treehugger. I'll see what I can do."
XXXXXXXXXX
Once all the campers got on the boat, it finally made its way to Camp Mahpee. The scene gradually changed to night and the White Lotus was sitting at the campfire this time. Chris walked up with a plate of 10 marshmallows.
"White Lotus, welcome to your first elimination ceremony! When I call your name, I will throw your marshmallow at you. The camper that does not receive a marshmallow must go to the dock of shame, catch the boat of losers, and leave the island… and you cannot come back. Ever. The first marshmallow goes to Flame Princess." Chris begins to toss marshmallows to each of the campers he calls out.
"Goku."
"Mandy."
"May."
"Gumball."
"Jack."
"Mordecai."
"Abby and Kuki, or better yet Numbuh 5 and 3."
Courage begins to shake, while Sasha remained confident.
"Campers, only one marshmallow remains. The final marshmallow goes to…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"… Sasha."
Chris tosses the last marshmallow at Sasha, while Courage looks down.
"Courage, your team has spoken. If it makes you feel any better, that bear will probably go back to its family due to angry e-mails."
Courage smiles a bit and begins to walk over to the docks. The other campers, except for Mandy, waved goodbye to Courage.
"Bye Courage," said May.
"Sayonara, friend," Jack said, as he waved.
Courage got on the boat, and waves back before the boat drives off.
"20 campers remain, who will get the boot next? Find out next time on Total. Drama. NEO!"
The scene switches to the forest. The elimination ceremony ended an hour ago, and Mandy is shown to be waiting for someone. Gumball then appears and walks up to her.
"So, have you gained their trust?" Mandy asked.
"They seem to like me," he replied. "But they didn't tell me about any alliance. Are you sure this is a good idea? This doesn't feel right."
"Gumball, you have to make some difficult decisions if you want to win. If you are unwilling to do so, you can just give up on winning, because there will always be someone who can."
"Well... ok then." However, he was still unsure of whether he should follow Mandy's orders.
And that's the end of it. Now the first thing I want to do is make an announcement.
I want to be more active in making my story and with my readers. This is why I'm announcing a spin-off story to go along with Total Drama Neo. "Total Drama Neo: Aftermath."
If you have ever watched Total Drama Action or World Tour, then you should know about the aftermath show that is put between episodes. These basically serve to allow fans to see cast members who were eliminated or didn't make it to the show. Total Drama Neo: Aftermath will serve the same purpose, and I'll be introducing several elements for my readers to be able to interact with as well.
First off, fan mail. Readers can PM me any questions they may have for cast members who were eliminated from the game or any other character that appears in the aftermath story. You can also send fan questions through the comments, though I prefer PMs.
Second, is the jury. The jury will be 12 fictional characters suggested by you guys that you can request in the comments or through private messaging. These characters will interact with the cast, giving their opinions on each of eliminated contestants. These characters must be animated, fictional characters. They can come from cartoons, video games, comics, manga, anime, live-action shows, etc. I may not know the character you requested, so be prepared for me to ask you for character details such as personality traits, things they may have in common with characters on Total Drama Neo, etc.
Finally, you can suggest challenges for the cast to compete in. Think of them like game show challenges, so don't request anything too large scale.
As for everything else, Geoff and Bridgette from Total Drama will be the hosts. You are also free to send questions you may have for Vegeta, Courage, Geoff, and Bridgette.
Recently, I've put up a new poll on my profile. You can select 3 of your favorite contestants. I'll also be selecting a fan-requested challenge for the next chapter. Also, the commercial was quoted directly from an actual TF2 comic, The Insult That Made a "Jarate Master" Out of Sniper. Check it out if you enjoy visuals as well.
If there are any other questions, feel free to ask. Well, this was MonkeyBot54, and I'll see you next time.
