Total Drama X: Ultimate Islands!
Episode 29: Haywire Hoverboards
Part 3: Floating Through The Competition
I would copy and paste the last pre-intro intro, but there's only 15 people that don't want to be last or to be knocked out of their boards by their competitors!
So that means they're going to be knocking their opponents butts, no regard for the contradiction or their chance to not finish and yeah, there's two other eliminations...
...meaning that this episode might get a bit dicey with the eliminations, aside from a potentially obvious player.
Memeking: Uh, you should have told me because it's not the worst of it! Terry Bogard apparently rolled the dice and simultaneously got lucky and very unlucky...read the chapter to see what I mean.
"Welcome to the Chris McLean hoverbike race of the episode! And of Ultimate Islands, the most...season of them all! A month and a half ago, 126 people came in with the intention to win and two more showed up later to try and collect a few million dollars! Four million to be exact!"
Sandy Cheeks just dusted her cheeks through.
Joseph, Sokka and Lowain all looked at each other, considering that they were originally part of the same kind of alliance or very close.
Dante and Bayonetta gave each other's smug looks.
Pit and Miko awkwardly looked at each other, since they were in almost love.
And the rest just wanted to not get eliminated through being stunt people.
"26 people are still here, 3 of them having their comeback era and only 17 of them have the chance to take a double vote and a reward for them and their friend!"
Every camper was preparing their own Extreme Gear.
"And we-ugh, the producers..."
Everyone just heard Chris dock his pay a little bit.
"...This race is gonna determine who's up for the vote, who's out of the game already and who's safe! Funny how that works! For the record, for Terry and Nobara, someone thought that they needed a second chance!"
Deadpool just casually chilled in his own seat.
"And that someone thought he could get back into the game!"
"Subwayguy, help me!" Deadpool got shoved back into his portal. "I've been in every Total Drama fanfic-"
"Yeah, I know."
Crimson just casually stood still, as the countdown finally started independent of any sexy men and hosts with the most and she made sure to look at the electric fence that was the start line.
Half of the racers were unscathed and the other half gained electric resistance.
15 guys and girls hovering a few meters above the ground would make a great race wherever they were just floating or struggling to control their Extreme Gear and not that many people did bad with their EX Gear control, though it was still an awkward challenge.
As shown by Dante being last.
"No way I'm last!" Dante complained. "How the hell are all of these guys not in last?"
"You got shocked!" Nobara butted in, slightly burnt. "Nice."
Dante then got back into being overpowered, as he sped up and Nobara just looked at his speed and him hitting Muscle Man with ease and quite easily, she got into his corner.
And whispered.
"How do we beat him?"
"I'm here to not lose, you can't beat him!"
Nobara then sped off.
*Muscle Man's confessional*
The green man laughed.
"Bro, I'm not about to sabotage people, but I'd have to sabotage to beat the coolest guy in this season! Everyone knows that I can't do that in this challenge, so I'm just going to try and not lose!"
*Confessional cut*
Nobara was definitely looking for a chance to beat the demon hunter, even if he was grinding like there was only one lap to be done and immediately Muscle Man sped off.
"Seriously, no loyalty between alliance players...damn green man." She said, now having a chance to not get knocked off. "Do you think that-"
She got blown up, courtesy of a misplaced spring that had a mini-bomb on it and right now, she was lying down on the safe and kneaded ground with the chance to be up for elimination.
"I'm not instantly eliminated...I just got damn embarrassed."
She accepted her defeat, as the next last place player was having their own trouble with handling the board and also, by the far, the angriest.
"Stupid board." Nicole grumbled, charging the board on the pressurised air port. "I swear I crouched down high enough!"
"Oh, Nicole's getting mad in last place...which is fair! That being said, she's changing her game literally!"
Chris could definitely see that Nicole was flying through the rings like she was dealing with Lex Luthor or she had a pilot's license, practically being graceful with her anger.
And she crashed right onto the track in between Mai and Squirrel Girl, who were both spooked and Mai Shiranui knew to throw her...ink shooter cannon and blew it up on Nicole.
"Can't believe we made her look cooler." Squirrel Girl said, while crouching.
Nicole used that thing as war paint, as she decided to basically put the girl of squirrels everywhere out of comission with one single chop that sent out of the immunity race.
Though, Squirrel Girl hung on for dear life on the board with a nut in her own hand and she threw it towards Mai Shiranui, who bounced it back to Nicole and you can guess what happened next.
"Squirrel Girl gets blown out of having to finish already!"
Mai and Nicole were going to have a fight on the Extreme Gear.
*Nicole's confessional*
The blue-furred mom was teeming with anger.
"Sorry Mai, but I'm tired of losing and something tells me that Azula will not hesitate to find a way to vote me off if I even get third! So, I will not hesitate to injure!" She growled.
*Squirrel Girl's confessional*
The ginger Canadian wasn't even mad, moreso dour with that chance.
"If there's one thing going in my favour, it's that I'm well-liked, I have a good temper, I'm the only original Canadian left and my pants are looking good! Sorry, Monkey Joe, these guys probably don't care about cute squirrels!"
*Confessional cut*
Speaking of Extreme Gear, first and second place was having a bit of altercation about half a lap ahead of everyone else, thanks to sheer skill and their somewhat friendly rivalry.
"Knock it off, Bayo, I can tell you're loving me."
"Face it, Dante, I do not like you like that, but you do motivate me to win a million dollars!"
That was so, as their cornering was on point and they got the hang of the drift boosts, leaving Pit and Miko with their own smoke in the rings for the former and through the rocks for the latter.
Dante may have been smirking, but he was aware of another threat to his epic game, as through perfection and hatred, Azula managed to get third place with only her speed.
Bayonetta watched as her alliance's leader looked like she got rid of her problems and was weaving the corners wtih ease, seeing an opportunity to prove Sokka's uselessness.
They all hit a ramp.
And they all did their tricks, though Azula used her flames to land faster and secure only a decent amount of Air and Dante went for style to bring that substance into his Extreme Gear.
"Later, miss!"
"And alredy, Dante's on the second lap and wow, it's looking really close! Bayonetta and Azula making up the rest of the top 3! And there's about...4 really close riders around them!"
It was extremely apparent that the faster riders were making quick work out of the other players, currently being on the second lap and even Sokka and Lowain were officially done with the second lap.
"Seriously, though Sokka, Lowain, Pit and Miko aren't in the top 3! They're looking for that immunity!" Chris announced. "Chef, you got anything to say!"
"Nah, but I can tell that this race ain't gonna stand friendly for much longer." Chef said. "Did you get Deadpool outta here?"
"Yeah!"
The two men of the water were grinning at each other.
"Lowain, for your game's sake, let's not meet up anymore. Azula might murder you!"
"Yeah, I'm not looking to get rotisseried by a kid at the moment."
Lowain's sly grin, as he sped up on that same first straightaway.
Current Positions as of Lap 2:
1st: Dante (Redgrave?)
2nd: Bayonetta
3rd: Pit
4th: Azula
5th: Miko Kubota
6th: Lowain
7th: Sokka
8th: Mai Shiranui
9th: Nicole Watterson
10th: Muscle Man
11th: Crimson
12th: Joseph Joestar
13th: Terry Bogard
14th: Pinstripe Potoroo
15th: Kugisaki Nobara
DNF: Doreen Green AKA Squirrel Girl
*Pinstripe's confessional*
The mean potoroo was growling at the camera with a scowl.
"I'm trying to be a good fella and it's kinda hard to be a good fella when if you mess up intentionally, you get eliminated instantly for some reason and being last means you're eliminated! I'm stuck in some shitty lose-lose situation!"
And that scowl turned into a sneer.
"So, it's time to make myself look like a hero."
*Confessional cut*
"Goddamn it, I'm last!" Nobara shouted. "And there's guys throwing bananas!"
Indeed, there was since they were on a straighter section of smooth corners that hid the bananas well and it was obvious that one of them would make a slip.
Someone almost did with Crimson stiffly sliding around and getting passed by the two of 'em.
"Hopefully, there's no squeaky wheels in this bidness!"
On the second lap, things were not friendly at all and it wasn't really surprising that it was between an kid angel and a young villainous princess, who pulled out their powers.
"I'm trained in hand-to-hand combat!" Pit declared.
"That means nothing!"
Azula then threw a fireball at the now-guantlet wearing Pit, leaving the angel to deflect it towards someone else and Bayonetta wisely ignored it, as she was sliding towards the flying rings with ease.
That fireball exploded on the sea, dissapating all of its energy in one go.
These two were now focused on each other, as Miko casually kicked the ground and boosted on through towards the witch that was currently in the lead.
"No way, Dante's actually in third! Miko boosted her way into second, behind the consistent witch!"
To be fair, he did slip and slide for a second and led himself into third.
Miko and Bayonetta shared a not so serious glance, as they led themselves towards the same shortcut and in those rings, there was some uncertain bumps and a few misses, but they both came out of unscathed.
"What kind of games are you playing?" Bayonetta cheekily asked.
"The kind of games that make me win."
Bayonetta boosted on ahead.
*Bayonetta's confessional*
The black-haired Umbran Witch looked a bit surprised, albeit calm.
"Finally, there's some competition other than an annoying demon and it's coming from the game-playing girl of all places...and I bet there's a secret that I'd rather not uncover." She said. "She's my problem now."
*Confessional cut*
As the witch, the gamer, the demon and the angel were all going toe-to-toe...
...Azula and Lowain had a bit of a problem with each other.
"Good news, it looks like the competition is actually heating up! And by that I mean, it's getting much closer than usual!"
One of them definitely have caught wind of the other's deception and Lowain had a look of total fear.
"Uh, staying ahead of, um, Sokka is real nice!" Lowain sputtered out.
"It sure is. Especially your plan is so obvious." Azula called him out.
"My plan to help our alliance! Realio dealio."
"Good...now you don't mind if I do this."
"Man, that move-"
Lowain got a fireball thrown in his face, as he at least stood up and rode just as strong as ever and Terry Bogard and Sokka knew that some jig was up, but maybe not his.
"I think she figured you out." Sokka told Lowain.
"Yeah, she knew the scoop." Lowain said weakly.
That being Terry Bogard was the one to manage to catch up to the fire princess, now officially being in sixth places, thanks to Miko's return to being fourth place.
"Whoa, whoa, he's...a guy!"
Terry easily dodged the next fireball that went his way, not having a good argument.
Other than purely beating her, as he sped up to be match with Azula's performance.
These four or five, since Mai Shiranui crept back into everyone's view and the ninja wasn't about to make herself a background character...especially with her speed kinda pushing through Sokka's weird taligating strategy and a fan that was made to disrupt.
Hilariously, the fan that she thew towards Sokka managed to splash a little bit of that black gold on him and Lowain would have thought that it would have done nothing.
It only made him look cooler, copying Nicole's war paint down to the messed up streaks and the knock towards Lowain did something odd to the competition around him.
"Azula, it's time to fight!"
"And there's still like five people fighting each other for fifth place and Azula's still holding it tight! But there hasn't been a lot of mess ups in this place!"
Sokka heard that announcement and Azula hilariously ended up ahead of him through focus and all of that, though Lowain finally managed to meet the exact same fate as he did in the practice test.
He got blown up through some epic shenanigans from Nicole, who shot some dust towards the blonde surfer man.
"AHHHHH!"
"And there goes Lowain with the power of dust from Nicole! And holy shart, dude, Nobara ended up with the slip and slide of a lifetime and-"
The brunette jujutsu sorcerer ended up quite the sticky situation on a halfpipe, the Extreme Gear riding off without her own self and Pinstripe Potoroo being blatantly aware of being in last place on the second lap.
"At least I'm not going to be last place!" Nobara spoke through gritted teeth.
Pinstripe Potoroo, still starting Lap 2, was being shot with some bombs that came from some random people that people shouldn't really care about and he kept on moving differently.
Crimson, even though she wanted to avenge someone...
...managed to get hit with the bombs and even had a dull scream that made the potoroo laughed at, still making his way in last place.
"This race is trying to mess with me!" Pinstripe shouted. "The two people who should be in last just explode out of nowhere!"
Though he was a puncher type of male, that didn't stop him from making the near ultimate comeback from being in last and distant from the chaotic action that was the bottom four.
To being just in the bottom four with the rest of 'em, a weirdly underperforming Joseph, a slightly struggling Terry Bogard and Muscle Man, a friend in the game.
Even if it was a beat down to not be last place and seeing his options, Terry Bogard was about to be a tailgater to a unusually obstructive mobster, though they were doing much better.
*Pinstripe's confessional*
He was tired of this shit.
"I would lie and say that Terry Bogard is someone worth keeping around in my book except he ain't compared to these two! Joseph wakes up every day and decides to be a funny badass and Muscle Man was alliance partners, so I'm just hanging back to stop the bum from getting ahead!"
*Confessional cut*
"Okay, I can't blame you! Two can play at that game!" Terry smirked.
"The two last placers, Pinstripe and Terry are about to hit each other, wherever with fists, weapons or even some pocket sand! You know, they know, last place goes!"
Chris' comment stoked something in the fire out of the duo and additionally, Muscle Man and Joseph Joestar.

Current Positions as of Lap 3:
1st: Dante (Redgrave?)
2nd: Pit
3rd: Bayonetta
4th: Miko Kubota
5th: Azula
6th: Sokka
7th: Mai Shiranui
8th: Nicole Watterson

DNF: Lowain

DNF: Doreen Green AKA Squirrel Girl
The top four were both back on track with wrecking the game into pieces and also somehow being able to fight each other with arrows, random things that didn't come out of a bracelet and fake bullets to scare the shit out of each other.
Needless to say, it both didn't work and made the front pack sound like a PTSD montage (which is basically "I served two tours in Iraq gun and missile montage" from the movies), but it was still absurdly close and slowed the race a bit.
"Okay, you should stop because I've fought gods before!" Pit shouted.
"Damn, that is crazy."
Dante then sped up faster.
The brown-haired angel and the white-haired demon signified the tempo of the race, the two of them willingly went board-to-bike, drifting like two badasses that didn't have someone waiting in the wings.
To be fair, it was only because she was punching through into the lead, albeit only slightly.
"YAAAAA!"
Miko's scream rung through the two guys' ears.
"And Miko comes into the lead during the last moments of this race! And someone else implodes during that same exact moment!"
Muscle Man was definitely on fire.
"Muscle Man got hit by the fire and the flames! Ouch!"
He kept on rolling, as his Extreme Gear was stuttering and it still had some flames.
Though Muscle Man was out, the race wasn't stopping for anything but the finish line flag, which was finally in sight of the top four players, Bayonetta having the chance to...
...slap Pit in the face, though it didn't faze the angel.
"Fair point!" Pit shouted.
Everyone of the top four crouched on the ramp quite easily and they all went for their own style.
Dante kept on rocking it, spinning his board around at speed.
Miko basically spinning around like she played a ridiculous amount of snowboarding games.
Bayonetta danced on it like she was trying to earn some money.
Pit, lastly, spun the board under him like an anime protagonist.
Hilariously, Miko was way faster than Dante for seemingly no reason and in this game, that is all you need and it was a real close finish, the four of them finished all within a second of each other.
"Oh man, that's a photo finish and Chef, you've got a good eye for seeing who's in first place!" Chris announced. "But it is clear that Bayonetta's third and Pit's fourth!"
"Alright, Chris."
There was a series of photos that showed that Dante boosted...
...almost back into first place, but Miko's lean led to the lead.
"Miko won this challenge and she has won...something really cool! The chance for someone else to be immune from the campfire! Dante gets second!"
Dante just raised a fist, finally having a win on the witch.
"How's that for a win?" He smirked.
"Honestly, not bad. Just need a few more and then I'll be impressed."
"You're just saying because you lost."
"You're acting like that there is not a decent amount of challenges remaining!" She smiled. "At least I didn't join a terrible alliance."
Dante just gave the angriest grin, before going away to see Pit fly with his board.
*Miko's confessional*
She was grinning.
"Oh, finally, I've always wanted to see another fun girl be left in this competition! Plus she's part of the cool people on the worst team ever...not really the Foxes! Just so much the foxes!"
She almost backflipped, but realised that she was in a shit-box.
"Someone put in a mushroom, because I'm only going to get faster from here with Pit by my side...doing things!"
*Confessional cut*
Final Positions as of the end of the race:
1st: Miko Kubota
2nd: Dante
3rd: Bayonetta
4th: Pit
Azula was shooting fire at Sokka, as the latter was deflecting the fireballs with some kind of season and she did manage one thing with her consistent fireball spam.
She could do the flips and Sokka really couldn't that many flips without falling over, though it was another counter-alliance win for the fire princess.
5th: Azula
6th: Sokka
"Nooooooo! Not today!" Sokka shouted.
"Today, it is this challenge and tomorrow, your elimination will be assured as a ship firing at your bow." Azula said. "And I have immunity."
"Did you think I would forget that?!"
Sokka shrieked, as Mai finished quite easily and...Joseph used his Hamon to clutch himself out of the bottom 3 and they both heard his screams of regret alright.
"Sokka got sixth and Azula got fifth, proving that fire does beat water! Also Mai got seventh and Mr. Joseph got 8th!"
7th: Mai Shiranui
8th: Joseph Joestar
"How did you pull that off?!" Mai shouted. "You were almost last!"
"That's just the power of the Hamon! I put some life in this Extreme Gear and it was like it was a part of my body!" Joseph explained, tussled by the possibility of being last. "Bet you didn't think of that?"
"...Maybe you just suck." Mai taunted.
"Hey, there's a first time for everything!"
Joseph wasn't shaken by the comments.
DNF: Muscle Man
DNF: Lowain
DNF: Crimson
DNF: Kugisaki Nobara
DNF: Doreen Green AKA Squirrel Girl
"Look, I would say that the final four are close, but I would be understating! There's no way to tell who's going home and who isn't! Aside from some dirty moves1"
With five more people up for elimination and the final four set for the future, Sandy wasn't about to let this opportunity slip away from her once again and she was up against the most competitive mother, a mobster weasel-lookalike and a chill fight known for his win in another universe.
It was kinda obvious what the options were for the squirrel.
"Sorry, Terry, I can't let ya win! Some other guy that was you...already won!"
Sandy finally created a tornado to slow him just enough to let the other two through and Terry Bogard might have blasted through it, but he lost enough speed.
Just enough for him to be last by a short distance.
"Goddamn it, man!" Terry shouted. "Nah!"
"Nicole did the dirty to avoid being in last place and yes, that means that everyone that finished the race except Terrence Bogard of the art of being sent home!"
9th: Nicole Watterson
10th: Pinstripe Potoroo
11th: Sandy Cheeks
12th: Terry Bogard (goner man)
"I didn't need the save." Nicole tutted at the squirrel. "But thank you!"
"Shut up, miss."
"Damn, Terry Bogard wasn't really the least of them nor the last of 'em! But he doesn't get a marshmallow!"
Sandy could see an oddly smug smile from someone that almost disappeared, as Nicole noticed the squirrel's inquisitive look and shifted her smile of relief.
"Don't worry about it! I'm not mad and we've been at it for nearly two months...and I got the short end of the stick! 24th out of 126 isn't that bad, when you get down to it!" Terry shouted. "Man, I almost had it!"
"I can't blame ya! Just...somethin' about it...seems weird."
Terry put his fist and did the legendary frustrated fighter pose.
"Maybe another day and another time."
"Yeah, nuthin' you can do! And it makes sense, but...something tells me that you got set up! At least I'm still in!"
"Congrats to ya."
These two on the same team shared a fist bump of condolences and the other two players weren't that surprised at the move that Nicole did.
"For someone who's playing to win, that doesn't seem like a major game-playing! Like taking-away girlfriends or smashing your enemies!" Pinstripe just commented with a grin. "And I'm now pretty close to ya."
"I don't necessarily have enemies! Just people to overcome and beat with my bare hands." Nicole stated, almost weightlessly. "Just need to take the lead."
Pinstripe Potoroo gritted his teeth.
"...Good! Azula won't like that."
Nicole just...rubbed her forehead.
"Never mind, it was a waste of time."
*Lowain's crusty confessional*
He woke up, dusty and his hair somehow hiding the dirty stuff...and he wasn't pleased.
"Unless some angel or Sokka's alliance pulls out the big guns, I'm going to get shot outta yacht, man! Imagine having your other alliance essentially putting the pressure on you to...exist." Lowain said. "All because Azula probably wised up thanks to my girl and the oldest looking dude to be evil! Alright, it's 'Waining time!"
*Azula's significantly less crusty confessional*
She looked at the camera like she had an killing intent.
"Of course Sokka's immune! Fortunately or unfortunately for him, I have a much better target in mind...someone who might not be in the alliance, but someone that will easily beat my fire if I let him win!"
*Heavy, no wait, Mikhail's confessional*
The big man was mad.
"I will be safe because I don't need big strategy or big sabotage! I have big enough arms for my people, five million dollars and tonight's stupid, stupid vote!"
*Confessional cut*
One thing was kind of true, as these players and the guys were in the
The votes were definitely stupid, mostly because Miko was oscillating up and down rapidly at the power of giving immunity to some rando' and also because Terry Bogard wondered what kind of bullshit would go down with a 16-year old.
"Please don't choose Yumeko." Pit whispered, almost unaware of her surroundings. "She creeps me and a lot of other people out."
Yumeko just rolled her eyes at the angel's...lack of awareness.
"Okay!" Miko shouted. "Chris, when do I get to save someone with immunity?"
"Right now, actually! Once again, you can't choose Terry Bogard because he's gone from this season forever! 13 dudes can be chosen and they're all qualified-"
"Lowain!" Miko shouted. "For reasons."
Chris just furrowed his eyebrows angrily.
"-They are all qualified to be Sling-Yacht'd AKA they could potentially be eliminated tonight, so this choice is between a potential enemy in the game or a friend who's suffered too much, which is nobody! Because you guys have 28 episodes worth of drama, so, Miko, you make your choice!"
Miko just looked at everyone like she didn't just make that decision and that Azula wasn't sure what kind of assassination technique she was about to put on Lowain.
"Lowain and I'm not elaborating! He's cool!"
*Lowain's confessional*
He tried to turn on the rizz, putting his hands on his back and his arms were stretched as far as he could.
"Damn, I guess I am too damn attractive for this game of teenagers!" He smirked. "Kat, you should find a amazing partner 'cause I'm an amazing partner to Yumeko, the bae of...all time!"
*Confessional cut*
The purple-haired gamer just casually shrugged.
"Okay...you guys need to meet me at the Boney Campfire, which is protected against the wildlife of this hellish island, to figure who else is joining Terry Bogard on that Sling-Yacht!"
In the now well-protected cafeteria of Boney Island, it was apparent that the food had gone back to the classic "very normal" food that Chef Hatchet was bringing onto the tables and in particular, Yumeko asked something.
"This food's not the best anywhere-"
Joseph defended himself using the "food" and his Hamon to protect himself from the knives.
"Y'all glad that he ain't here, but when I cook, suddenly y'all ain't glad!" Chef commanded. "Besides, you guys are strong enough!"
"Strong enough to stomach this, I bet." Mai said, trying to not vomit.
"I took it easy on you people!" Chef shouted, from the kitchen towards the ninja. "Now, it's gourmet!"
Mai Shiranui pushed her plate towards the surprisingly ravenous Muscle Man, who was in the same place of trying to not vomit.
"How are you okay with this?" Mai asked. "Since you-"
"Yo, you don't just know me that well!" Muscle Man shouted.
Mai slowly walked away from the already smelly man with the disgusting eating habits and she crawled her way towards a very interesting pair of people and it was mostly because they would never go into an alliance.
Tanjiro Kamado and Ochako Uraraka, who was still acting like it was Deer season.
"Hey, do you guys want to talk about crazy stories?" Mai asked. "Or crazy votes."
"Actually, I don't mind talking about either of them." Tanjiro confidently answered, as though Uraraka and Nobara were having at him to stop. "...Wait, do you think-"
"No, no, not really! Just...who would you think would go home?"
"...Maybe...actually, I can't tell."
As a ninja, she figured that it was one of those moments, as she slightly invaded his personal space.
"Really? Then what's your vote?"
"Yumeko scares me." Tanjiro spoke quietly in a way that his whole table could hear.
All three on the same table nodded, knowing that there was probably bigger targets that were now immune and that Yumeko was...something else.
*Kugisaki Nobara's confessional*
The proud feminine fighter made it loud.
"Cassie's steamrolling all of us without even an alliance! She didn't join a single one and plus she's been really good at a lot of these challenges, so I'm not gonna blame her for having my potential vote! Scott Pilgrim, though, sucks a bit more."
*Ochako Uraraka's confessional*
She was steeled her confidence.
"Finally, I can vote for Yumeko and if you want to know why...I definitely can remember and hopefully, uh, you've seen the reasons on the screen! She kinda broke the game and defeated Coachman sort of! What I mean is that, she's scary and hopefully Azula gets eliminated in the next challenge because she's also scary!"
*Dante's confessional*
The demon hunter had a queasy smile.
"I'm voting for Tanjiro if only because he's a nice guy, a strong guy and everyone likes him! Honestly, I'm only saying this because he feels untouchable even though you could just hug him easy!"
And then he threw up on the floor.
"Goddamn Chef."
*Confessional cut*
In the classic game of Total Drama, the campfire would normally signify whoever was in the reputational bin, who was an easy target for elimination and who was down here for sucking at the challenges in spite of his well-liked reputation.
Kugisaki Nobara, Yumeko Jabami, Muscle Man and Tanya von Degurechaff (The Drama Berets & Fire Ladies) were all looking at each other, knowing of each other's now somewhat related alliances.
Scott Pilgrim and Reigen Arataka were two-thirds of the Boomerang Crew and it looked one of them would instantly be sent back to the Hotel McLean Muskoka, but there was something.
Mikhail (The Heavy), Crimson, Squirrel Girl, Cassie, Uraraka, Reg and Tanjiro were all...not in the best of moods.
"Hahaha, finally, we've got a dramatic elimination! Well, a more dramatic elimination at least, since there have been votes thrown all around! Two of you will join Terry Bogard! Only three of you have no votes to your names and once again, it's surprising! No Chris Head?"
"No, I don't really need. I think I'll be quite safe."
The rest of them, including Lowain and Sandy Cheeks, were at least nervous at who would be eliminated.
"That being said, the immune people all share their marshmallows!"
...
...
...
...
"Mitch aka Muscle Man, Nobara and Ochako Uraraka! Y'all got no votes, you're all good!"
Muscle Man raised his fist.
Nobara and Uraraka both simply caught their marshmallows with relief.
...
...
...
...
"Four dudes got the majority of the votes! Whoever I call out has only one vote to their name..."
Reigen Arataka and Reg, for some reason, crossed their fingers at the same time.
"Tanjiro, Reigen, Mikhail, Reg and Doreen AKA Squirrel Girl are safe!"
"Yes!" Tanjiro celebrated.
"Hey, don't celebrate too hard." Reigen said. "We're safe only for today."
"I know!" Tanjiro suddenly shouted.
...
...
"Scott Pilgrim, Yumeko, Tanya and Cassie, all four of you have the entire rest of the votes and coincidentally, two of you are only safe by one vote! One of you got blown out, though!"
Tanya was plain shocked, as Cassie Cage raised her eyebrows.
"I didn't know you could do that!" Scott exclaimed in surprise.
"Chef, do the thing!"
Chef Hatched rolled his own eyes.
"Scott Pilgrim, some people say that you're carrying a lot of knowledge about the game! Somehow!"
"That's very believable." Scott answered, clearly mad. "And very reasonable!"
"Tanya von Degurechaff, you just...scare the crap out of people and those people also think that you definitely have an alliance!"
"You don't say, but that is the name of the game." Tanya dismissed the concerns. "My alliance would be composed of stronger people."
"Yumeko Jabami, you started Coachman's downfall, you gambled a lot of pants away, broke two alliances at the same time and you creep me-I mean, the other players out!"
"Norbert Hatchet, you've got me figured out! Playing that way's fun for me!"
Chef Hatchet just got the chills from that answer.
"Cassie Cage, you're probably the safest and most consistent player in here AKA a massive threat!"
"Even if I go home mad and get screwed over, you picked a good choice!" Cassie angrily spoke. "Fuck, I'm already mad."
"Cool, thank you, Chef! And the first one home is..."

"Tanya Von Degurechaff, you're out of the game and..."
Tanya just crossed her own arms.
"...Yumeko Jabami, you're safe by only one vote compared to..."
Yumeko had a sigh of relief.
"...Cassie Cage, who's eliminated with six votes!"
"Imagine getting voted out because you're playing too well! Thought it couldn't happen to me, but how is Yumeko still safe!" Cassie shouted. "Chef practically explained and she scares the heck out of you!"
"Nah, it's because you're like here for the game of it and even Yumeko's probably super evil, she's nice to talk to...sometimes! Plus you remind people too much of Samus!" Sokka explained himself.
She took a breather once she realised that she was being compared to the most badass bounty hunting miss.
"...Considering who Samus is, I'll take that compliment."
"Yeah, she's cool! Anyways, I hope you, uh, save your world!"
"Eh, I already did!"
Cassie just walked away.
Tanya was less amicable, which the rest of the cast witnessed.
"I can't believe that my alliance couldn't save me from elimination and it's not that surprising, since this elimination was came from nowhere all because I apparently scared a lot of people and something tells me that this thing is all Azula's fault. For could only be described for strategic reasons, she came up to about my safety in the game and like a strategic princess, convinced a lot of people to vote me off because they weren't sure who to vote off!" She explained angrily. "Azula, great game!"
"Good games to you. At least, you know how to play the game." Azula answered with an evil smile. "But I was born in it."
"You'd crumble with Lowain in there, I can tell."
"That is cute. Fortunately, I have him under my watch!"
Lowain awkwardly laughed, as Tanya just huffed towards the Sling-Yacht and so did Cassie, albeit with a wave.
Terry Bogard was all smiles and Cassie Cage had her game face on.
"Hey, we both played good!" Terry grinned.
"You too." Cassie answered.
Tanya Degurechaff glared right into Azula's soul, as the firebending princess turned away and the child soldier just prompted the boat driver towards wherever it was going to.
The Sling-Yacht sped off, of course, towards Resort McLean Muskoka
"And that was the dramatic elimination! You guys watched it and I made it! Tune more for more dramatic eliminations and challenges that require a bit of racing since we've got the drama on..."
"...TOTAL DRAMA: ULTIMATE ISLANDS!"
To be continued in Episode 30, finally there's only 23 players left and all of the returning players are still in the fold, Crimson's long-term revenge plan is getting started (which is just winning the competition) and Lowain is in quite the situation (not of randomness) of being torn between two alliances, mostly due to Azula!
By the way, the Drama Berets were weirdly minor league probably because of the way that the challenges work and the next challenge is all about doubling (or tripling) up to do a race! Not really a three-legged race, but the race does require some teamwork!
Like the strategy for next episode, since it really is cold-blooded!
Will Pit and Miko survive the next one intact?
Will Azula finally get the fire over Sokka, burning through his will to compete and his chances in the game or will Sokka bring a wave of destruction, the likes of which his oppressor consistently brung during the war, back to Azula
Realistically speaking, the only way that Tanya von Degurechaff would have survived would be if Yumeko got eliminated and honestly, she doesn't have much of a social game! Just great military training and gunmanship, which doesn't matter that much here!
Terry Bogard's another Ryuko case, but he still played the game rather well here and I really like this guy's vibe, but being in Infinite means that it ain't his game to win right now! Also, he's strong!
Cassie Cage (I know RikkiSnake might be mad) is one of those people who got shafted by bigger personalities and people played bigger games, seeing as she got eliminated by one vote! She also played a good game, though in more of a stoic way compared to Terry's big smiles!
Either way, these three were not playing around and their eliminations means that it's now a different kind of serious!
