Chris' Recap: "Last time on Total Drama Universe! Our two teams were thrown into another Dodgeball challenge, there were many balls thrown and many people hit for my amusement. The Flames lost yet another challenge as they had it with Lynn's over-competitive nature as well as her annoying superstitions about good luck, so the Flames bid farewell to Good Luck Lynn. Can the Flames finally get a win or is their flame gonna die out? Find out today on...Total...Drama...Universe!"
*Theme Song*
In the forest, Father was having a meeting with Jack Spicer and Prince Charming.
"Okay Father, what's the plan now?" Charming asked. "We've already lost two challenges, I think it's high passed time those Foxes got the taste of defeat."
"You're right." Father said. "Which is why we're gonna focus on taking out the other team starting now."
"Now we're talking." Jack smirked. "Finally some evil action."
"Depending on the challenge, we're gonna start with taking out Josuke." Father said. "His bizarre abilities could be a threat to us if the Foxes let him stay longer."
"Agreed." Charming said before smirking. "Also he hit you in the face pretty hard in the last challenge."
"Oh, shut up." Father glared. "Now, we'll meet here again after the challenge is over, we gotta head back before the team realizes we're gone."
They nodded and walked back to the cabins, but Charming just looked at Father.
*CONFESSIONAL*
"Now, I know what you're probably thinking: 'Charming, why are you working with Father, the man with anger issues and low patience." Charming asked himself. "It's part of my own strategy, lay low and let Father make himself a bigger target by using him to pick off the bigger competition, before the team picks him off when I expose him, that would be one villain gone and one less obstacle between me and the million. Jack's a pushover, but I'll let him stay around a little bit longer, he might prove useful to me."
*CONFESSIONAL*
While they were walking back, Diane still watched them.
*CONFESSIONAL*
"Those three are definitely trouble." Diane said. "But it's mainly Father I'm concerned about, so I think it's time I made my own alliance to counter their plans and stop them. And I think I know a good member to start with."
*CONFESSIONAL*
In another part of the forest, we see Sasha practicing with her twin swords on trees and wood dummies.
Sasha was getting tired as she was finishing up her training, and soon she heard some clapping as it was Diane.
"Good swordsman skills." Diane said. "How did someone as young as you know how to use those?"
"That's a long story." Sasha said. "What are you doing out here, Diane?"
Diane soon began to think and decided to tell Sasha the reason.
"Okay, it's Father." Diane said. "I was spying on him and he's formed an alliance with Jack and Charming, they plan to eliminate the biggest threats of their competition."
"Really?" Sasha asked. "That guy can barely keep his cool, so he can he keep an alliance in check."
"Which is why I plan to make my own alliance, and I would like you to be a part of it." Diane said. "What do you say, Sasha?"
"Well..." Sasha said thinking. "Okay fine, but we're gonna need more allies than just us."
"Agreed." Diane said. "We'll use the next challenge to decide our new members, and we can't tell anyone unless it's someone we can fully trust."
They soon nodded as the loudspeaker was turned on via horn.
"Attention campers! Meet me at the new Pahkitew Ampitheater for today's challenge!" Chris said.
"Alright, we'll discuss this later." Diane said to Sasha as she nodded to the fox and walked to the new ampitheater.
Soon both the Foxes and Flames gathered at the new theater where Chris was waiting for them.
"Hello campers." Chris said. "Today's challenge is another TDI classic...The Talent Contest! Like last time, both teams will have three representatives from their teams as they will have to perform the talent they have. Anything goes, as long as it's family friendly." Chris added giving an "I'm watching you" hand signal to Loona, who just growled at anger.
"They will be judged on a scale of 1 to 10 by Chef as well as two former Total Drama contestants, come on out guest judges."
Soon two familiar women appeared, one was a girl with black hair as the other had brown hair and freckles.
"No way, it's Heather and Courtney!" Jack said.
"Let's get this over with." Heather rolled her eyes. "These are the losers I'm supposed to judge? They barely look like they have talent at all."
"I hope you all don't disappoint me." Courtney said. "I'm not going easy on you just because of you being first-timers."
"Yep, they'll be judging you." Chris said. "The team with the most points wins, and the losing team will be sending someone home tonight...and Flames, I sure hope it isn't you again, starting to get bored of you losing. You have one hour to decide on your reps. Oh, and one more thing."
"Yes?" The contestants asked.
"The voting will be only between the three representatives in the talent show." Chris said. "Now, get picking."
*CONFESSIONAL*
"Heather and Courtney, of all the former contestants to be guest judges...this challenge is gonna be harder than I thought." Father said annoyed."
*CONFESSIONAL*
"You think I could put a smile on their faces with my Dueltaining?" Yuya asked. "Oh, who am I kidding, Heather and Courtney are the meanest of the mean."
*CONFESSIONAL*
"Finally, a talent contest." Squidward said. "I'll be sure to blow them all away with my clarinet skills"
*CONFESSIONAL*
Meanwhile, the Foxes were at they're cabin deciding who should go in the Talent Show.
"Alright." Diane said. "Who should represent us in the challenge."
"Say no more, Diane." Squidward said. "With me and my clarinet skills, we'll be guaranteed victory in this challenge."
"Since when did you care about a challenge?" Josuke asked.
"This one involves talent," Squidward said. "I happen to be an excellent painter and musician."
"Why do I doubt that?" Sasha asked as Squidward gave her a glare.
"Me and Piplup could be in the talent show, I am a Pokémon Coordinator." Dawn said as Piplup nodded while he was held in her hands..
"Hmm, very well then." Diane said. "Show us what you have."
"Gladly." Dawn said. "Piplup, Bubble Beam!"
"Piplup!" It said as it jumped and spun around making bubbles which soon burst and released sparkles.
"Wow." Vert said. "That's pretty cool Dawn."
"Yeah." Yuya smiled. "You should total represent us."
Meanwhile, the Flames were listening to Hector playing the guitar while singing a song, who seemed to be very good at it for a skeleton, and soon he stopped as most of the Flames clapped for his performance.
"Fine, sign him up." Father said as he didn't look to amused.
"Wow, you sure can sing for a dead guy." Lilac said to hime.
"Thanks." Hector said as he finished playing his guitar.
"And I'll be going in the talent show to with my talent." Fahter said.
"What, getting angry?" Loona snarked as Father soon growled at her.
"Show some respect to the team captain!" Father said as Loona just texted on her phone.
*CONFESSIONAL*
"That hellhound is getting on my last nerve with that rebellious behavior of hers!" Father yelled. "IT JUST MAKES ME WANNA...!" Father yelled but a bucket of water was poured on him. "Wh-what the?!"
"Sorry Father, that was a precaution to make sure you don't burn down our confessional." Chris said mockingly and added a laugh at the end.
*CONFESSIONAL*
"Yeah...that man is seriously starting to piss me off." Loona said annoyed. "If I could kill him, I would."
*CONFESSIONAL*
"Look." Father said before calming down. "I can produce fire and throw it at something or someone."
"I guess that's a talent." Luz said.
"Good, then it's settled." Father said.
Back with the Foxes we see Yuya putting on a performance with his Performapal monsters and finished it off with Odd-Eyes making a grand finale move with a Spiral Flame which soon turned into fire works.
Yuya soon bowed as the Foxes gave him a huge round of applause.
"Definitely a good choice for the contest, sign Yuya up with Dawn." Diane said.
"Alright, so that's Dawn and Yuya." Vert said. "Who's gonna be our final one?"
"Ahem." Squidward said.
"Okay fine, Squidward." Diane rolled her eyes. "What are your talents."
"Glad you asked." Squidward said. "I happen to be quite talented with interpretive dance, sculpting, painting, and playing the clarinet."
"Well you're only allowed to do one talent." Josuke said. "So which is it gonna be?"
"Clarinet, obviously." Squidward said.
"And something tells me, you're not gonna take no for an answer are you?" Sasha asked as Squidward nodded arrogantly.
"Are you gonna at least play for us first?" Diane asked.
"No, I'm good." Squidward said which had all of them role their eyes.
"Ugh, fine." Diane said. "We have our three representatives: Dawn, Yuya and Squidward."
*CONFESSIONAL*
"Prepare to be amazed by my musical talents." Squidward as he began to play his clarinet which he of course, played terribly.
*CONFESSIONAL*
"I have a bad feeling about this." Sasha said.
*CONFESSIONAL*
"Look, I know Squidward's bad at his 'talent'." Diane said doing finger quotation gestures. "But I'm not too worried, with Dawn's Pokemon and Yuya's dueltaining, we shouldn't lose that much."
*CONFESSIONAL*
"Alright Piplup." Dawn said to her Pokemon partner. "Let's give Chris and the others a good show."
"Piplup." It said smiling.
"I'm only doing this show with Piplup." Dawn said. "Mainly because I left my other Pokemon at home, didn't wanna get them hurt."
*CONFESSIONAL*
"Alright, time for me to swing into action." Yuya said.
*CONFESSIONAL*
Back with the Flames, they were still looking for a last talent.
"Look I could show my magic skills if I could." Luz said. "But my magical glyphs don't work in the human world."
"That stinks." Blossom said.
"I'll go in." Sash said. "I'm pretty skill in Martial Arts thanks to the Red Scarves, I won many tournaments too."
"Really now?" Father asked.
Sash soon nodded and began to prove it by doing practice moves which they all saw and were impressed with.
"Well?" Sash asked Father.
"Well, we're low on options, so fine. It's me, Sash, and Hector. Any objections?" Father said.
The Flames all shook their heads.
*CONFESSIONAL*
"I just HOPE we can win this challenge, I don't wanna lose again." Sash said.
*CONFESSIONAL*
"I hope these fools have at least some talent in what they can do." Father said.
*CONFESSIONAL*
"Don't worry mi familia." Hector said. "I plan to win this thing."
*CONFESSIONAL*
Soon the teams returned back to the theatre as the judges were now ready.
"Welcome to the Total Drama Universe Talent Extravaganza!" Chris said. "We've got our six competitors for this Talent Show! We've gotten word of their talents and I think we'll be in for quite a show. Alright, Foxes you're up and your first performer will be...Dawn!" Chris said as he drew a name from a hat.
Dawn soon came on stage wit Piplup who looked very confident.
"Alright." Dawn said. "I'm Dawn and I'm here to show off what Piplup can do."
"Just get it over with." Heather said rudely.
"Alright." Dawn said. "Piplup, use Bubble Beam!"
Piplup soon jumped in the air and spun as it shot out bubbles which created a circle of bubbles around himself. When the bubbles explode, sparkles from the glittering water surround Piplup which made most of the cast amazed.
"Amazing." Chris said. "Judge's, your scores?"
Soon Chef put up a 6.5, Courtney gave her a 6 and Heather gave a 6.
"So that gives the Foxes 18.5 points, so let's see if the Flames can beat that, Sash, your up.
Soon Luz and Blossom set up wooden dummies for her as Sash came up on stage, and soon she began doing some martial arts moves on the wooden dummies as they broke upon her hand and feet strikes, and some of the members looked amazed at her physical combat and soon she managed to take down all of them.
"And that does it for Sash's martial art skills, judges, your scores?" Chris asked.
"It's okay, but not that impressive," Courtney said. "I'll give you a 6.2."
"Alright." Heather said. "I guess I'll give you a 6"
"Not bad, but I've seen better fighting." Chef said as he held a 6.8
"So the Flames have a 19" Chris said. "So you have the lead for now, next for Foxes will be Yuya Sakaki.
Yuya soon came on stage and was ready to perform.
"It's showtime!" Yuya said as he soon began to activate his duel disk. "Ladies and Gentlemen! may I present you this crowd's entertainment by starting off with Hippo Carnival!" He added as he placed a Spell Card on his duel disk. "Get hopping, hippos."
Soon three hippos, one colored blue, orange, and yellow wearing carnival-like dresses appeared and began dancing for the crowd, this left the crowd in complete confusion while Diane looked interested in him.
*CONFESSIONAL*
"Uh...what?!" Sasha asked in confusion.
*CONFESSIONAL*
"Well...he does have charm." Katara said.
*CONFESSIONAL*
"As funny as he looks, he looks like he could be a good ally." Diane said. "With those monsters he can use depending on what challenge Chris can allow them in."
*CONFESSIONAL*
Soon Yuya summoned more of his monsters and danced with the hippos.
"Okay...this is something..." Meg said.
"And now for the big finale!" Yuya said and summoned his favorite monster, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon which roared. "Odd-Eyes, show off your Spiral Flame Strike!" He yelled as it soon blasted a spiral burst of energy into the sky and soon it exploded as glitters fell from the sky which bowed down.
The crowd looked shocked before soon most of them clapped and cheered.
"Alright, judges your scores."
"Okay, I hated the goofy animals but loved the dragon in the end." Chef said. "So I'll give you an 6."
"The animals made me cringe so bad, especially the hippos, I'll give it a 4." Heather said.
"Well I wasn't that impressed, but I guess you did make a good finale." Courtney said. "So I'll give a 5 as well."
"So Yuya got the Foxes 33.5 points, so they're in the lead." Chris said.
The Foxes cheered for Yuya as he headed back stage.
"Yuya, that was amazing!" Dawn said.
"Thanks." Yuya smiled. "I liked your Piplup's performance too."
*CONFESSIONAL*
"Yuya and I aren't so different." Dawn said. "He likes to perform with Duel Monsters, and I kinda do the same with my Pokemon."
*CONFESSIONAL*
"Dawn's pretty okay, she seems to be quite experienced with putting on a show." Yuya smiled. "There is something about her voice that's kinda familiar...eh, probably just my imagination."
*CONFESSIONAL*
"Next we have is Father." Chris said as he soon came up on stage. "And uh, try not to burn the stage down."
"I can't promise that, McLean." Father said.
Soon the interns set up some targets for Father to use his flames on, but these cutouts looked like most of the Kids Next Door operatives.
"Oh no." Sasha said.
"He's not gonna..." Diane said.
"Alright." Chris said. "Go!"
Soon Father formed fireballs in his hands and soon threw them at the dummies which ranged from balls of fire, blasts of fire and other fire-related attacks and soon 5 dummies which looked like the famous members of Sector V from the Kids Next Door, and without hesitation Father threw balls which burned them as he smirked at the thought of destroying those kids.
And that made most of the contestants feel very uncomfortable with him
*CONFESSIONAL*
"He's actually willing to harm children..." Diane said. "It's official...He's. Gotta. Go."
*CONFESSIONAL*
"He's more of a violent person than I thought." Prince Charming said. "He better keep his cool, otherwise it's gonna be his downfall."
*CONFESSIONAL*
"Okay..." Chris said also himself feeling a bit scared. "Judges, you're scores."
"The fact that he's happy with the thought of harming children, that only makes me give him a 2." Courtney said disapproving his pleasure at the sight of KND's cutouts being burned.
"Even I'm not that cruel." Heather said. "I give him a 3."
Chef just simply gave him a 3 score card.
"WHAT?!" Father yelled in anger. "WHY I OUGHTA!" Soon Chris came with a fire extinguisher to put him out.
"Please don't kill the judges, last thing I need is Courtney filing another lawsuit on me for endangering others." Chris said. "The Flames now have a 28.5 which is no where near the Foxes, you better hope Hector can beat Squidward...or else, I think we know who'll be sent home if the Flames lose again, cause wow...having cutouts of kids as your targets...that's kinda messed up dude."
"This coming from the guy who had his contestants carry sleeping babies through a death course last season?" Sasha asked him with a deadpan look.
"Anyway." Chris said changing topic. "Squidward, your up."
"Alright." Squidward said with confidence. "Alright judges, time to show you my musical talents."
Squidward soon began to play his clarinet and soon everyone began to cover their ears at how terrible he was playing but soon Chris put on noise cancelling headphones to block out the awful sounding music he was playing.
And after a few minutes of playing, Squidward was soon done.
"So, how was that?" Squidward asked arrogantly.
Soon all the he judges gave him a zero.
"0?!" Squidward asked offended.
"That was some of the worst music I've ever heard." Courtney said.
"For once, I agree with Courtney." Heather said.
*CONFESSIONAL*
"I can't believe they gave me a zero!" Squidward said. "They don't know a good musical performance when they here it."
*CONFESSIONAL*
"I knew letting him perform was gonna go badly." Sasha said. "But what choice did we have?"
*CONFESSIONAL*
"Thanks to Squidward, the Foxes' score is still the same." Chris said. "Now time for our final act of the challenge, Hector!"
"Let's hope he can do better." Courtney said to Heather.
Hector soon came up to the stage with his guitar.
"Alright, amigos." He said. "This song I'm about to sing was a song I made for someone very special to me."
That soon got the judge's attention.
He soon began to play his guitar and sing.
Remember me
Though I have to say goodbye
Remember me
Don't let it make you cry
For ever if I'm far away
I hold you in my heart
I sing a secret song to you
Each night we are apart
Remember me
Though I have to travel far
Remember me
Each time you hear a sad guitar
Know that I'm with you
The only way that I can be
Until you're in my arms again
Remember me
The crowd looked in shock at how a skeleton was able to sing so well, and both sides began to clap applause to him, even the judges clapped for him.
"Wow, what a good show!" Chris said. "Judges?"
Soon all the judges gave him a score of 9.
"And that means the Flames now have 55.5!" Chris said. "So that means the Raging Flames win!"
Soon the team cheered as they soon carried Hector out while cheering for him.
"Nice singing, dude!" Luz said as they celebrated their first win.
"So that means the Foxes have suffered their first loss." Chris said. "So, pick your favorite camper to boot."
Soon the Foxes looked very disappointed as they now had their first loss of the season.
"First loss, this sucks." Josuke said.
"Yeah, and it's all thanks to squid dude over there." Vert pointed at Squidward.
"How could you possibly blame me?" Squidward asked. "They did not know true effort and talent when they saw it."
"Do you even listen to yourself when you play?" Sasha asked. "You were horrible."
"Well, that's your opinion." Squidward said to her and just simply walked away leaving the Foxes to glare at him.
*CONFESSIONAL*
"After reviewing our member's performances in the challenge, I say either Yuya or Dawn could be a good candidate for the alliance." Diane said. "I'll try to talk with Yuya."
*CONFESSIONAL*
Soon Father, Jack and Charming met back in the woods, like they promised.
"So we finally got our first win." Father said. "It's about time."
"But didn't you technically make us lose the first challenge to eliminate Eddy?" Jack asked but soon gulped when Father looked at him with anger. "Not that there was anything wrong this that! Please don't hurt me!"
"Whatever." Father said. "But we do know that the Foxes finally lose a member."
"So what members can we pick off on the Foxes while we're on the subject of that team?" Charming asked. "Of course there's Josuke, but the challenge proved Dawn and Yuya proved they can be a major threat with their skills."
"Let's not forget some of their other members." Jack told him.
"Agreed, Spicer." Father said. "So, starting now let's go fox hunting."
The other two members agreed to this.
"Good." Father said. "You two can do whatever you want."
Jack was about to leave before Charming stopped him.
"Hold on, Spicer." Charming said. "I need to tell you about something."
"What do you want, pretty boy?" Jack asked.
Charming soon came to Jack's ear and began to whisper
"Let's vote out Father if we have the chance." Charming smirked. "You've seen how he is, he let's his anger get the best of him and how can an alliance function with a leader like that?"
"Hmm, I'm listening." Jack said.
"My plan is to let Father pick off the competition for us, and when the time is right...we'll pick him off leaving the both of us to head into the final two." Charming said before leaving his ear.
"How, evil." Jack smirked. "Well count me in."
"Excellent, I knew you'd see it my way." Charming said.
Later on in that day, we see some of the Foxes discuss who to eliminate.
"Alright, let's get rid of Squidward." Sasha said. "It's clear he's too pessimistic and arrogant to care about things."
"I agree." Diane nodded. "Not to mention that he cost our team the win."
The other Foxes gathered agreed to this and soon left, and before Yuya could leave, Diane grabbed his hand.
"Hey Yuya, got a second?" Diane asked.
"Uh...sure, what is it?" Yuya asked.
Soon he was lured out with Diane and Sasha.
"Alright." Diane said. "I want to vote out Father and stop him from making his move on the game, so I want you and Sasha to join me in making sure that doesn't happen."
"Me? In an alliance?" Yuya asked.
"Yeah." Sasha said. "We could have use for your talents, plus after seeing how violent Father is today...we need to get him out, and his allies."
"Alright." Yuya said. "Count me in."
*CONFESSIONAL*
"Diane and Sasha seem like nice people." Yuya said. "I'll gladly help em out with Father. Because from what we saw in the Talent Show challenge...he's already made himself a threat
*CONFESSIONAL*
Later on that same day, the Cunning Foxes were at the Elimination Ceremony.
"Foxes, welcome to the Elimination Ceremony." Chris said. "Good to see some refreshing faces, after dealing the Flames two times already. So you already know the rules, if you get a marshmallow, you get to stay another day, if not your out. The following Foxes are safe are Diane, Sasha, Vert, Katara, Josuke, Webby, Meg and Flint since like I said...the voting is only between the three competitors that represented you in the Talent Show." Chris said.
Soon the only contestants left were Dawn, Yuya and Squidward.
"Alright, you three competed in the Talent Show so the voting was just between you three, and let me tell you it was a very clear vote...the first marshmallow goes to...Dawn." Chris tossed the Pokemon Coordinator her Marshmallow. "Now it's down to the Dueltainer, Yuya, and the Clarinet Player, Squidward." Chris said. "Yuya could go home for his dueltaining and very confusing performance, Squidward could go home for his very crappy clarinet skill. But either way...the last marshmallow goes to..."
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"This is quite predictable actually...Yuya." Chris tossed Yuya the marshmallow.
"What?!" Squidward said. "You chose circus boy over me?!"
"Well Squidward, you had to see this coming." Chris said. "You kinda sucked compared to Yuya and Dawn."
"Whatever, I don't care." Squidward said. "You just lost one of your most talented members on your team."
"Keep telling yourself that." Sasha said.
*CONFESSIONAL*
"At least he got our team some points, while you didn't Squidward." Katara said.
*CONFESSIONAL*
"That music made my ears hurt so much." Vert said rubbing his ears.
*CONFESSIONAL*
"Kinda the only option to vote for." Flint shurgged.
*CONFESSIONAL*
Soon Squidward was loaded into the cannon along with Courtney and Heather.
"WHY ARE WE GETTING SHOT TOO?!" Courtney yelled.
"Why not?" Chris smirked as he pressed the button.
"I HATE CHRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" Heather yelled as she, Courtney and Squidward were shot off the island screaming.
Chris was laughing at seeing the three get launched out of the cannon.
"Finally, they're gone. Now with the Flames finally winning a challenge, and the Foxes' first elimination ceremony, 19 players remain!" Chris said. "Who will get shot out of the Cannon of Shame next? Fine out next time on Total...Drama...Universe!"
