"Last time on Total Drama Sakamannano Island," The camera opened up on Drew getting a tan, "We had a fun little birdwatching challenge, one that would normally would've let our contestants take a breather for once... if we didn't tell them THE ISLAND WAS GONNA EXPLODE!" Drew snickered, "With the rush to win the challenge many completed in it in different ways, King aimed for perfection and ended up being impressed by Brandon's 'skill' at photography, Kodi got kicked by an ostrich and managed to get his picture that way, Will and Sasha talked about their alliance, and Beatrice warned Kodi about Sasha. Lots of stuff going down as we reach our final seven, but someone has to go before we can make it there! Who's it gonna be? Find out right here on... Total... Drama... Sakamannano Island!"
Intro Start
Multiple cameras popped out from surfboards, tiki torches, statues of Drew, and other objects on the island. The camera then flew past Drew, Pamela, and Hack, with the former two arguing about something and the latter drinking from a barrel of rum.
"Dear mom and dad I'm doing fine, You guys are on my mind." The Camera went up the dead volcano, revealing Kaito setting up some of his stargazing equipment, and Vanessa helping him out.
"You asked me what I wanted to be, and now I think the answer is plain to see." The camera jumped down into the volcano, where Timothy was listening in on Kaito and Van's conversation with a radio. In addition to Timothy being there, Wane was checking the cages of shame for any lost coins or valuables.
"I wanna be famous." Wane dusted off one of the cages, revealing that Alex somehow got trapped inside. Wane tipped the cage over and kicked Alex out, before hopping inside of it to search for valuables.
"I wanna live close to the sun." The camera then made a cut to inside the mess hall, where Kodi was teaching Will how to play Chambers and Beasts at a table, with Will shaking his head and pretending to understand how to play the game.
"So pack your bags, 'cause I've already won." The camera moved outside where Melissa and Beatrice were chatting together.
"Everything to prove, nothing in my way." To the left of Melissa and Beatrice, May was walking until Paige jumped out of the bushes, scaring the daydreamer.
"I'll get there one day." The camera moved towards the nearby Hilahala hut, where Wyatt and Flora were both petting Spirit's belly.
"Cause I wanna be famous." On the other side of the area where the Haaheo mansion was, Klaas and King were playing a match of poker, with almost all of the chips being on King's side.
"Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na." Moving away from the hut and the mansion, Persephone and Sasha could be seen arguing about something.
"I wanna be, I wanna be famous." The camera jumped over to the beach of the island, where an oil-covered Brandon could be seen fixing up an old boat. Behind him, Elizabeth was pretending to be a scarecrow.
"I wanna be, I wanna be famous." Finally, the camera moved over to Becky, who was writing down song lyrics in a notepad. Becky turned around and noticed the camera, elbowing it to the ground for privacy. The shot was then cut to Buck, Mitch, Carlton, and Billy, who all set the camera down for the final shot, as they got the camera in position they ran behind Drew, causing the camera to flash and take a photo of all of everyone previously seen. The screen moved back to show the photo on a postcard that read 'Aloha from Hawaii!" with whistling accompanying it.
Intro End
As the sun rises on the shores of Sakamannano, not a creature was stirring. Except for one archer, who was shown sprinting through the forest as she aimed her arrows at various targets. Landing each of the various targets that were scattered during her parkour training, Paige leaped and bound before she finished off her morning training with a long-ranged attack on an empty can of beans.
She wiped her head from the sweat that had arisen during her run, "I think that's enough for one day." Paige takes a whiff of herself "Ooo boy, looks like I've been hitting it too hard. I need a shower."
Confessional: Paige
"After Van was booted last time, I'm all out of allies that I can rely on. And at this stage, the only sure fire way to live another day is if I win immunity. So I've been doubling up my training to keep myself in tip-top shape. Course I can't work myself too hard, don't want my body to just collapse before I cross the finish line. Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa for all those summers we spent training, those army guys won't know what hit 'em when I show up."
Confessional Over
Paige wasn't the only one training, as outside the old chicken mansion was King. Who stared down a practice dummy, which he glared flaming machetes at because he taped a picture of his father on the head. "Looks like the worthless welt forgot how the world works." King sliced the dummy to pieces in split seconds. "So annoying."
Just then he heard a twig snap before he threw his fencing sword. Which barely missed Brandon and impaled itself into a tree "ZOINKS!"
"Ah, Brandon." King went over and pulled his sword out of the tree "My apologies, I mistook you for one of the insignificant insects that plague this season."
"Um... Kay. What's with all the..." Brandon gestures to the broken dummies.
King lightly scoffed, "Hmph, I figured someone of your skills could understand that perfection doesn't just happen naturally."
"Well, I give you that. It took me a few months before I restored my first Prius." Brandon replied.
Watching this from inside the mansion, Sasha took notes of their talk "I will never get used to King acting so 'social' and talking like a normal person."
Confessional: Sasha
"As we near the end of the game, you need as many allies as you can get. With the chickens' alliance reduced to one girl who I can easily bring over to my side, the strongest alliance so far is the frogs." Sasha stopped, "But if they stay the way they are in the final six and one of mine is eliminated, they'll be unstoppable." Sasha sighed, "I swear being the brains is exhausting."
Confessional Over
After a few minutes, Brandon met up with Sasha at the front of the mansion. "How'd it go honey?" She asked Brandon.
"It was... fine. But I'm still not sure he's gonna be inclined to work with us." Brandon shrugged as he explained how things were with him and King.
"Even so, I'm still impressed you made such progress in breaking through King's cold emotionless walls." Sasha told him as she leaned against his side, "But then again, you did have a decent relationship with Wane. And he's the worst."
Brandon laughed, "He is a handful."
Sasha also laughed, "Regardless, I'm sure you'll get him to come around eventually." Sasha told Brandon as the pair headed off for breakfast.
At the mess hall, it was Hack's turn again to cook food for the contestants. Kodi and Beatrice were first in line, "Remember, whatever Hack makes. Just smile and thank him." Beatrice told Kodi.
"Yeah, I don't wanna hurt his feelings. Even though his cooking is a little..." Kodi gave an 'iffy' hand motion.
Kodi set his tray down, "Dar she blows!" Hack exclaimed as he plops down a stack of pancakes shaped like Moby Dick. "Fresh off the grittle."
"Woah Hack! These look..." Kodi took a small bite, "and taste delicious!"
"Arrg, I be takin a couple lessons from Ms. Pamela in land cooking," Hack replied as he uses a spatula hand attachment to plop some whale pancakes on Beatrice's plate.
"That's very nice of her." Beatrice smiled as she and Kodi get glasses of orange and apple juice respectively.
Meanwhile, Hack flipped over some more pancakes as Will comes in and takes some. "Ooo, flapjacks!" Will cheered as he went over and sat with Kodi.
Confessional: Will
"I want nothing more than to get me and Kodi to the final two, with Flora and Beatrice by our side, Sasha and her giant brain allying with us, and with Brandon's well-balanced skills as well, it's basically assured... But our obstacles are King and Paige, they're both physical giants and can get by if the rest of the eliminations are challenge-based." Will gulped, "I'm gonna have to rely on a lot of luck to keep going through the game."
Confessional Over
Flora headed towards the mess hall for breakfast, until she was stopped by Paige popping behind her. The pacifist yelped before Paige grasped her shoulders, "Don't make a sound. But I come bearing a warning, be wary of Conroy." She whispered into Flora's ear.
"Brandon's girlfriend?" Flora wondered, "But she seems so nice."
"She's also a master of convincing and a stellar strategist, a deadly combination in a competition like this one." Paige reminds her, "Remember you're still competing for a million dollars, and when it comes down to it some people will try any means to claim that money."
Flora shivered, "Sounds dirty."
"It can be, but when all your friends are gone and only you're left. What are you gonna do?"
She then disappeared as Flora tried to see where she went. Flora scratched her head, "What did she mean by that?"
During breakfast, the kids ate, talked, strategized, or stare off in the distance. Things were peaceful, but like all peaceful things, they don't last.
Thump
Thump
Kodi and Flora were tossed lightly in the air, glasses of juice had ripples.
THUMP
THUMP
"Uh, anyone else think something's wrong here?" Beatrice questioned.
Will looked down, "Must be an earthquake."
"Well Hawaii does experience earthquakes due to eruptive processes within the active volcanoes or by deep structural adjustments due to the weight of the islands on Earth's underlying crust." Sasha stated, which made Paige fall asleep. "But given that the two volcanoes on this island are currently dormant, it seems unlikely."
"You think we're being attacked by bloodthirsty dragons!" Kodi fearfully questioned.
CRASH
The kids jumped in fright when a long slimy tongue burst through the roof, latching onto Hook "Not again." Hook was then pulled out the hole "YAAAAAHOHOHOOOOOO!"
The kids ran out and gasped as Hook was on eaten alive by a beak. "WHAT THE-" CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW RIBBIT! The monster roared over half of the contestants' proclamations. The monster revealed itself to be sixty stories tall with the lower half of a frog, the tail of a chicken, the upper half of a chicken, one eye a chicken's while another a frog's, a beak, and a frog tongue.
"I have so many questions!" Sasha cried.
"Am I going crazy!" Paige said exclaimed.
"Aloha malihinis!" The kids heard Drew's voice on the loudspeakers, "It's your friendly neighborhood host, Drew Jones. I'm sure you're all acquainted with this monster that has arisen from the Saka forest, the Fricken. Half frog, half chicken, all powerful.
.
.
.
... survive." Drew's voice cut out shortly after saying that message.
King humphed as he stepped forward, "As if that sad stone-brained stooge thinks perfection would be scared of an abomination of nature."
King drew his sword at the fricken, Brandon went up to him, "I don't know if that's a good idea."
"If I can kill a great white, this won't be a problem," King told Brandon before King's sword was tongue-grabbed and swallowed, "Hmm, maybe it is indeed as dangerous as he claims."
"AAAAAGGGHH!" The other kids screamed as they ran away, with Brandon pulling King by his hand as the fricken leaped high into the air and came crashing down on the mess hall before letting out loud thunderous KAAAAW that sent shockwaves through the surrounding area before going ribbit.
"Let's go!" Will grabbed Kodi as he dragged his boyfriend across the island as the contestants got a really good view of the Fricken.
Kodi shivered as the two continued to run away from the monster, "Drew's finally lost it! I thought he lost it last episode but this takes the cake!" Kodi complained as the two made it to the forest, keeping them out of the line of sight of the monster.
Will pulled Kodi behind a tree as the Fricken's giant footsteps could be heard passing by the forest, "Ok... looks like we're good for now." Will took a deep breath as the two realized they were safe from the Fricken for now.
Kodi panted as the two reveled in their safety, "How are we supposed to stay away from that for an entire challenge?" Kodi asked as the footsteps could still be heard in the distance, "That thing looks like it could crush is with one step!"
"I dunno," Will shook his head as he looked around, "But we should try sticking to this forest for cover, and hopefully we can regroup with Flora." Will took out his phone and started texting Flora to see where she is.
"There was a cave underneath the island that I found last challenge," Kodi told Will, "Maybe we could try finding that? I know it was somewhere here in the forest."
Will rubbed Kodi's head, "Great thinking Kode, let's go find those tunnels and hide out down there with Flora!" Kodi blushed as Will rubbed his hair.
"Y-y-yeah..." Kodi was red in the face the whole time.
Meanwhile, Brandon and Sasha were sneaking around the host house, with no Fricken in sight... yet anyway. "Looks like we're safe for now." Brandon sighed in relief, "Now, have any ideas how to take that thing down?" Brandon asked his companion
"I'd assume some sort of trap would be the best idea," Sasha suggested, "I doubt Drew will give us immunity for just hiding from the monster, he probably wants us to act like an action hero and take it down." Sasha rolled her eyes.
Brandon listened out for the Fricken, "Yeah, that does seem like something he'd do to us. But how are we gonna trap a monster of that size?" Brandon questioned, "I don't think there's anything on the island that could keep that in place."
"Perhaps if we tricked it into jumping into the dead volcano, it would get stuck since its body is too wide to fully fit inside the hole." Sasha thought of a plan, "Or maybe we could lead it to the ocean and it would have a harder time moving around?"
"Good ideas, let's go with the-" Brandon was cut off by the Fricken jumping up behind both of them, causing him to go wide-eyed as Sasha store up at the monster in shock, "It's... right behind me, isn't it?"
Sasha slowly nodded before yelling "Run!"
The two attempted to run away from the monster... but like, come on, the monster has a super long tongue and they can only run so fast. The Fricken spat its tongue out and grabbed Sasha before pulling her into its mouth, "Sasha!" Brandon yelled out as she was taken away by the Fricken. The Fricken then tried to spit its tongue at him, but Brandon was able to just barely dodge it, causing the tongue to get stuck on the ground.
"Give her back!" Brandon grabbed a large rock and slammed it against the tongue, causing a small bit of electricity to spark out as the tongue was hit by the attack. The Fricken screeched before running away from Brandon. Brandon tried to chase after the beast, but it's giant size allowed it to get away from Brandon before he could make any major distance towards it.
Brandon panted as the Fricken stomped away, "Dangit... Sasha's been captured, and I can't get her back!" Brandon punched a nearby tree in frustration.
"You seemed to hold your own against the beast pretty well." A voice called out from the nearby forest.
"Who is it?" Brandon groaned as King emerged from the trees.
King brushed a few leaves off of him, "I must say, my expectations with you are raised more and more with each passing day." King actually had a slight smile on for once, "You've beaten me multiple times on this show now. The virtual reality challenge, the photography, and now in harming the beast." King clapped his hands, "I gotta say I'm impressed that I found gold within all of this rubbish."
"I'm not in the mood for a competition right now, King." Brandon replied, "I gotta rescue Sasha!" Brandon passed by King, pretty much ignoring him completely.
"I'm not suggesting a competition for us, that can come in the finale," King shook his head, "I propose we work together in this challenge."
Brandon stopped for a moment, "Is this a joke, is there a camera somewhere?"
King crossed his arms, "You should count your stars that I'm suggesting this idea to you, I could just as easily take down this monster all on my own, but I'd like to see how you perform in this challenge so I can assess how much effort I'll need to put in when we have to face each other for the final time."
Confessional: Brandon
"King has been pretty strange lately, I dunno, seeing him... smile... is kind of unsettling." Brandon shivered, "But I guess if he drops his guard around me I'll be able to help Sasha get him out, or join the alliance, who knows?"
Confessional Over
"You know what King, sure, let's go work together in this challenge." Brandon shrugged, "As long as I can get Sasha back."
King scoffed, "You really shouldn't worry about that piece of garbage." King rolled his eyes while Brandon just glared back at him, "But I suppose I'll agree to those terms for now... let's go kill a Frog-Chicken." King put his hands behind his back as he headed off with Brandon to go hunt down the Fricken.
"Find a cave tunnel somewhere in the forest." Flora looked down at her phone as she was heading in a random direction in hope's of finding Will and Kodi, "I hope they send me some landmarks, that could be anywhere." Flora scratched her head as Beatrice popped out of a nearby bush and jogged past her, "Hey Beatrice!" Flora waved to the mermaid fanatic.
"Hey Flora, sorry can't talk right now, trying to make it over ot the beach without being seen!" Beatrice replied as Flora turned to her.
"The beach?" Flora tilted her head a bit, "Why there? It's super wide open and the monster can see you super easily."
Beatrice stopped and shook her head, "it might seem that way, but by the elimination floater, there's a little patch of rock that's just barely big enough to fit a person in, easy to see when you're down on the beach, but hard if you're super big and stuff like that looks like ants to you. Where are you headed?"
Flora smiled, "Gonna meet up with Kodi and Will at some cave underneath the forest here! No way will the monster see us when we're hidden down there!" Flora confidently stated.
"Sounds like a good hiding spot, good luck with getting away from that thing." Beatrice told Flora as he prepared to leave, "And by the way, after the challenge, I think I know who you guys should vote for. But I'll wait to see who's immune today before I jump the trigger, good luck!"
"Bye Beatrice!" Flora waved the other former Frog off as she disappeared into the forest, "Now how do I get to those caves?" Flora looked around as she heard loud footsteps approaching. Flora's eyes went wide as she gulped, "Uh... oh..." Flora began to run to find a spot to hide as the Fricken made it's way through the forest, though, it hadn't noticed her just yet.
"Just... be quiet..." Flora whispered to herself as she slowly and silently snuck away from the Fricken, and all was going well until she accidentally stepped on a tree branch, causing it to snap and make a loud noise, "...Crud."
The Fricken turned its head three-hundred sixty degrees before looking down at Flora and making it's signature screech.
"Uhh..." Flora backed a way as she noticed a very sharp-looking broken tree nearby, "I got an id-" Flora was cut off as the Fricken grabbed her with its tongue and swallowed her whole, stopping her from putting any plans into motion.
Flora fell through a dark and narrow corridor before landing in a prison cell with a very soft floor for landing, and also with Sasha sitting inside as well, "Caught you too, huh?" Sasha asked as Flora nodded.
Confessional: Flora
"Dangit!" Flora snapped her fingers and groaned, "I could've sworn I had a genius plan, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be..." Flora sighed.
Confessional Over
Paige used her stealth skills to her benefit in this challenge, hopping from tree to tree in the forest, with her goal being to scale the monster and kill it. "I'm gonna get you Frog, Chicken, thing!" Paige grinned as she crawled up a tree to get a good view of the area. Her inspection revealed that Brandon and King were going to the living area, Kodi and Will were still walking aimlessly through the woods, and Beatrice was going over to her hiding spot, "Looks like it's too busy searching for the others right now to catch me!" Paige grinned as she went back to the top of the tree and jumped to another one.
The archer made her way through the forest with speed before stopping to get a good view of the Fricken, "Hmm, pretty large size, lot's of room for scaling... but how am I gonna take this guy down?" Paige questioned as she observed her surroundings and noticed a loose telephone pole nearby, "I got an idea." Paige smirked as she snuck over to the pole.
Once Paige made it to the pole, she clapped her hands before shouting out, "Hey Frog thing! Come and get me!" Paige taunted the Fricken, which then turned around and shot its tongue at her before she dodged, causing it to grab the telephone pole instead. The tongue pulled the pole out of the ground, leading to the Fricken smacking itself in the face with it before being electrocuted.
The Fricken screeched as Paige attempted to jump onto it, only for it to swat her away, "Augh." Paige groaned as she hit a nearby tree, "Well... that was worth a shot, at least..." Paige pulled herself up and fled from the monster as it freed itself from the telephone pole, "Oh well time to flee and make a plan B!" Paige yelped out as the Fricken began to give chase, though its tongue was still stuck to the pole.
While Paige was being chased by the giant beast, Beatrice made her way to the beach successfully and was about to go into the water as she noticed the Fricken running, "Huh." Beatrice noted before she hopped into the water.
The girl then swam over to the patch of rocks and got ready to hide from the monster, "Alright... just gotta wait for immunity for staying safe..." Beatrice looked around, "For... however long that takes."
Brandon and King made their way through the main part of the island, sticking close to buildings to ensure they wouldn't be spotted by the Fricken, "So..." Brandon asked, "Any ideas on how you wanna kill this thing, because we've been walking around aimlessly for, like, three minutes now."
King looked around, "I would assume to take that hideous overgrown beast down we'd have to play strategically. I noticed you hit its tongue earlier, so our best bet is to destroy the tongue to capitalize on its faults."
"Yeah I mean that works, but we have to lure it into a trap first, and even then hope what we have is enough to keep it occupi-" Brandon was cut off by Paige running past the two.
"Coming through!" Paige yelled as the Fricken was hot on her tail, though now it turned its attention to King and Brandon.
Brandon groaned, "...Or we can just have it come to us."
King cracked his knuckles, "Well, looks like it's time to improvise-" The Fricken suddenly tossed the telephone pole at the two of them, causing them both to drop to the ground, "Ok... that's... something." King straightened his tie.
Brandon pulled himself off the ground, "But now's our chance, let's get it!" Brandon ran over to the fallen telephone pole to try and do the same trick Paige did before him, but this time the Fricken focused its attention on King instead of trying to fall for the trap.
The Fricken shot it's tongue out at King, who barely managed to dodge the hit as the tongue flew towards him. The tongue got stuck on a building, leaving it open for an attack, "King, give me a hand here!" Brandon began to lift up the pole.
"Not a bad idea for someone lesser," King smirked as he helped Brandon lift the telephone pole up before they both tossed it at the Fricken's tongue, causing it to fall off.
"We got it!" Brandon watched the tongue hit the ground as the Fricken screeched out from the attack. The Fricken then tried to peck at the ground to grab the two that way, but Brandon narrowly dodged the attempt on capturing him, albeit at the cost of getting smacked in the back by the beak. "Ag..." Brandon fell to the ground as the Fricken focused on trying to capture the not-injured member of the pair.
"Come on!" King taunted the beast as it tried to peck at him as he dodged, but like Brandon, his dodge left him injured as the Fricken opened its beak as it hit the ground, sending King backward. King groaned as he got up from the ground and the Fricken was about to capture him. King snarled as he knew there was no running away from the giant robot and was ready to be captured as the Fricken pecked at him again, but this time it stopped before it's beak could fully reach the ground.
"Huh?" King looked over to see Brandon managed to keep the beak open by holding a boulder above his head, using it as a makeshift carjack.
The two didn't take any chances as they both rolled away from the Fricken, right as it choked on the boulder and spat it out.
"How are we gonna kill this thing?" Brandon panted as the two made their way to the trees of the forest for protection.
"That rock left the fowl Chicken stuck in place for a little while, all we need to do is capitalize on that." King brushed dust off his suit, "Urgh, I would've preferred to keep this clean for the challenge." King commented on his dirty suit, "Though I'd have to admit, I'm glad I chose to follow you on this little adventure, I actually have something to look forward for now."
Brandon panted as they heard the Fricken searching around for them, "I would focus more on taking that thing down than wanting something to challenge your ego."
King gave a light laugh, "You're earning praise from the winner of this show, I'd be a little more grateful with that."
Brandon just rolled his eyes before snapping his fingers, "Wait! I got an idea on how to beat this thing!"
Beatrice yawned as she was still waiting at the rocks, "Any minute now..."
"I can hear it! Get down Kodi!" Will hid behind a tree as Kodi followed suit, the two then waited for the Fricken to pass by.
Kodi held his breath as the Fricken walked right over the area they were in. The Fricken looked around for any stragglers nearby, but was unable to find the couple, "I think we're safe." Kodi sighed in relief as the two got out of their hiding spot.
"That was way too close." Will brushed himself off as he noticed the cave that Kodi fell into last challenge, "Hey look! There it is!" Will pointed over to the cave before running over to it.
"Let's go then!" Kodi smiled as his happiness was cut short... by being snatched around the leg and pulled up into a tree thanks to Van, Kaito, and Paige's traps that were set up all the way back in the hot pineapple challenge, "Oh come on!" Kodi complained, "Why is it only me!? And how many of these things did they set up!?"
Confessional: Van and Kaito
"I believe it was... forty?" Kaito questioned.
"Yeah that sounds right." Van nodded.
Confessional Over
"Kodi!" Will ran over to his boyfriend, "Hold on, I'll-" Will was then swallowed by the Fricken, which overheard Kodi being lifted up into the air by the trap.
"Will!" Kodi reached out as the Fricken lifted its head out and carefully watched him, "Uh... good... monster...?"
The Fricken responded by pecking at the ground over and over, making sure to draw out Kodi's capture, "Oh just get on with it!" Kodi winced at every peck the Fricken did.
The Fricken walked closer and closer to the DND nerd as he struggled to release himself from the trap, still pecking at the ground.
"Almost..." Kodi fiddled with the knot.
"Got..." The Fricken was getting closer and closer.
"It!" Kodi released himself right as the Fricken slammed caught him in its beak, sending him down to the prison where the rest of the losers were waiting. Kodi fell down to see the rest of the prisoners, "Will!" Kodi jumped up and hugged his boyfriend before noticing Flora, "It got you too?"
"Yeah." Flora sighed.
Sasha looked around, "I'm still trying to figure out how they got a giant robotic frog-chicken hybrid so quickly."
"Yeah, they must've planned this challenge out way in advance." Will replied.
Confessional: Drew
"Hah, planning in advance... that's funny." Drew laughed
Confessional Over
"Seventy-two, seventy-three, seventy-four... seventy-five?" Beatrice was counting a nearby school of fish that was swimming by, "Can't tell if I counted that last one twice or not." Beatrice scratched her head, still sitting in her hiding spot.
"Where are we going, exactly?" King asked as the two ran to the island's garage.
"The garage, I've got something there that might be able to beat this Frog monster!" Brandon ripped the door open to find Paige searching the building for tools,
Paige dropped a wrench she was holding before looking at the two, "Uh... this is awkward."
"Look at who we have here, the piece of trash who tried to get us captured by the-" Brandon stepped in front of King to shut him up, "That doesn't matter right now, King, we gotta put this plan into action."
Paige perked up, "Ooh a plan? Do tell!"
King glared at her, "Like we would let you have immunity after yo-"
"We're gonna use my ATV to try and brute force through the head of the chicken while it's down!" Brandon told Paige as he ripped a tarp off a nearby vehicle, unavailing Brandon's masterpiece,
The Brandmobile!
Brandon searched through a drawer and took out the keys to the ATV before twirling it around his fingers, "Let's go." Brandon ordered the two.
"We're not tak-" King started.
"I. Said. Let's. Go." Brandon snarled as Paige hopped in the back of the ATV, while King's eye ever so slightly twitched, very clearly annoyed by being ordered around by someone, even if he had the littlest bit of respect for him.
The trio hopped into the ATV, ready to take on a Fricken.
"Alright let's get a good plan going," Brandon looked over at the two, "I'm gonna drive the ATV and help one of you distract the monster while the other uses a rock to keep it in place. The mountain should give us a good spot to use as a ramp too."
King scoffed, "Stopping that oversized dinner plate won't be that hard."
"Guess that leaves me on distraction duty." Paige shrugged as the Brandmobile drove through the forest, eventually causing the Fricken to notice them.
"Get ready!" Brandon told the others as the Fricken began to chase them through the forest before he drove the Brandmobile in the direction of the mountain path.
"I wonder if anything interesting is going on right now." Beatrice yawned as she was still sitting in the same spot.
The trio drove up the mountain path with the Fricken hot on their trail. Paige took a look at the Fricken as they reached the top of the mountain, "We're gonna need a lot of luck for this."
"We can do it..." Brandon quickly stopped, allowing Paige and King to jump out of the Brandmobile as he turned around to help Paige with distracting the Fricken.
"Come and get me!" Paige laughed as Brandon drove past her and slowed down just enough for her to hop into the Brandmobile. Paige then blew a raspberry at the Fricken as it's head briefly got stuck in the ground when trying to catch them.
While the other two were distracting the Fricken, King was looking around for a sizable rock that could be used to stop the Fricken in place. The Prince family member gave a quick whistle to catch the beast's attention as he picked up a large boulder, "Come on you hunk of garbage!" King grinned as he was ready to take the Fricken down.
The Fricken tilted its head as it looked at King, before suddenly turning around and kicking the Brandmobile over, leaving Brandon and Paige stuck upside down.
"Augh..." Paige groaned as the Fricken walked over to them and used its beak to flip over the Brandmobile again.
"Move." Brandon ordered as he and Paige both got out of the vehicle before the Fricken can eat them.
Paige dodged a few pecks from the Fricken as Brandon ducked a kick before he made his way back to the Brandmobile, "Come on..." Brandon restarted the vehicle before driving it straight into the Fricken's leg, keeping it in place for a moment, "Come and get me!" Brandon yelled at the Fricken, who screeched at him in response.
Brandon tried to lead the Fricken over to King, only for it to screech at him before pecking at Paige and swallowing her. "Crap!" Brandon groaned as the Fricken then turned it's attention to him. Brandon carefully drove the Brandmobile forward as he passed by King, "This better work!" Brandon yelled at the perfectionist.
King tossed the rock forward and ran to it to lure the Fricken into a false sense of security. The beast leaned over and tried to swallow him, only for him to make it over to the rock just in time before he shoved it into the Fricken's mouth, causing it to choke on it, leaving it open for an attack.
Brandon revved the engine of the Brandmobile as he grinned, "Take this!" Brandon drove the Brandmobile off a nearby overhand on the mountain, leading to the Brandmobile driving straight through the head of the Fricken, causing electrical parts to fly everywhere, and for the four interns to fly out of the robotic monster.
Brandon took a deep breath as the Frickem's body fell to the ground.
"Nooooo!" Buck cried out, "All of the engineering, wasted!"
Mitch just put his hand on Buck's shoulder to comfort him.
Drew's voice came in on the intercom, "Well, looks like Brandon, King, and Beatrice win today's challenge!"
As Drew's announcement was playing, the stomach of the robot burst open, freeing all of the trapped contestants, who were still covered in fake frog saliva.
"Congratulations to King and Brandon for taking down the Fricken, and to Beatrice for staying hidden the whole time! The rest of you... well, you'd better get ready for one of you to go home tonight..." Drew laughed as the losers of the challenge looked at each other, "You have two hours to cast your votes!"
While everyone else was at the top of the mountain for the end of the challenge, Beatrice overheard the announcement from the rock hiding spot, "Ha! I knew this place would work!" Beatrice laughed at her victory.
With one hour before the elimination ceremony, Paige was shown drying off her hair after she washed herself of the robot chicken frog saliva. A tower wrapped around her as Sasha entered the scene in a purple bathrobe, "Think I got it all out of my hair." Paige looked at her hair, which looked clean enough.
"Hope I have enough body wash to remove the smell," Sasha gagged as she approached the shower curtain, but before she enters. "You didn't get this from me, but a certain froggy group are preparing to vote you out tonight."
"Pardon me?" Paige asked Sasha.
"Think about it, without the other chickens you have no security in the votes." Sasha reminded her.
"How can I trust you?" Paige narrowed her eyes.
"Believe me it's not easy to know who you can truly trust this late, but I'm asking you this." Sasha challenged the archer, "Can you brute your way through a three on one situation should there be an elimination-based challenge? Or if it gets to votes, you think King is gonna wanna vote anyone besides himself?"
Paige looked down at the floor, she was strong of course. But she knew that with her friends gone she was at a disadvantage numbers wise, but she also got another idea from Sasha, "So if I were to join you for this vote only, who did you have in mind?" Sasha inwardly sighed in relief.
Confessional: Sasha
"Well, that's my safety net, but you never fully know for sure. But I think I managed to give Paige enough reason to vote out one of the frogs. And I'm sorry Will, but of your party, you're the biggest threat in most of the scenarios I've drawn up. It's nothing personal if you see this." Sasha shrugged.
Confessional Over
Confessional: Paige
"I'm well aware of Sasha's schemes, but I'm not worried. With her constantly making plays, chances are she's gonna end up getting herself out. All I have to do is try and do good enough in the challeges that I don't go home. Wyatt and Spirit give me strength." Paige looked at the ceiling before letting out a small 'eeee' noise, "But goodness me, Sasha needs me to progress further! I'm in a good spot now!"
Confessional Over
Sasha exits the confessional, not noticing Beatrice listening in. "I knew it." Beatrice hopped away to warn her old teammates.
"No way!" Will shook his head as Beatrice informed the trio of Sasha's plan, "Why would Brandon and Sasha work with Paige against us?"
Kodi grabbed his boyfriend's arm, "Yeah, Paige is much more of a threat than we are, physically anyway."
"That's the point!" Beatrice replied, "Paige is only a physical threat, but you guys have a blatant three-person alliance, and can control any future votes! Sasha is trying to take care of any future threats, so taking you guys' out is her current order of business!" Beatrice looked to Kodi, "Kodi, remember when I told you we need to get rid of her in the bird challenge? Now's the time to do so!" Beatrice then looked to Flora, "And remember the other day when I asked for your with a vote? Now's the time for you to help me!"
"I figured you meant voting for Paige or King, not for our own friend!" Flora denied Beatrice, "Beisdes Brandon is our friend too, and he'd never just vote us off!"
Beatrice stopped for a moment, "Y-Yes he would! He's practically dating Sasha at the moment and he most likely wants to go to the final with her, I know him really well, and while he's a nice guy, he's more likely to choose Sasha over us! You're all putting too much faith in her right now, just listen to me and vote her off before she gets one of you!"
Will sighed, "Ok, ok, Sasha, we'll think about it." Will told the mermaid fanatic, "Just... give us a moment, ok?"
"Ok, I will." Beatrice shook her hands, "Just... listen to what I say. I promise it's either you or Sasha..." Beatrice left the group to make their decision.
At the elimination ceremony, many of the kids had some scratches and light bruises. Pamela told them that they'd be fine by next episode, Drew cackled "Oh man, that has to be the wildest challenge had all season! Ooo boy, the producers outdid themselves with this."
"Get on with it you dimwitted donkey!" King ordered.
Drew rolled his eyes, "Sheesh, tough crowd. Alright, you've all placed your votes, and we've gone over them numerous times to make sure we didn't miscount them, one of you is heading on home."
"Sasha." Pamela stated, "You're a smart girl with backup plans for almost anything, and some find that to be dangerous."
"I gathered that." Sasha said.
"Paige, you're fast and nimble. Truly one of the strongest challenge-based contestants, which can also be feared by others." Hack stated, Paige gulped.
"For tonight, the symbols of safety are these tiny fricken action figures, now available wherever toys are sold." Drew held up an action figure. "First up we have our challenge winners, Brandon and King for taking down the fricken."
Brandon and King caught their action figures, the latter patted the former on the back with a smirk.
"And Beatrice for succeeding in evading capture." Drew tossed the mermaid her tiny plastic plaything.
"Sweet." Beatrice cheered.
"Now for the losers without votes. Kodi and Flora." Drew tossed the two their toys, which the happily took.
"As for you three." Drew pointed to the remaining players, "With one vote, staying is...

Will twiddles his fingers.

Sasha prayed to the heavens.

Paige sweated as she anxiously stomped her foot.
.
.

.

... "Sasha."
Sasha caught her safety symbol, "Phew."
"And as for you two." Drew pointed to Will and Paige, who waited to hear which of them was safe...
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
... "You two are tied in votes."
Will gasped as did his teammates, Paige gave off a sigh. Beatrice quickly shot a worried look to the Frogs. Drew then announced "Which means it's going to a tie breaker. Pamela, if you will."
Pamela took the podium as the interns grabbed Will and Paige and brought them to the center, "For today's tiebreaker, you two will be taking turns putting ceremonial floral leis, the contestant with the most leis on stays in the game." Carlton rolled out a cart of leis. "Any questions?"
"No ma'am." Will and Paige stated.
"Alright, we'll go alphabetical. So Paige gets the first lei." Pamela stated as Buck draped a blue lei around Paige's neck. "Next up is Will."
Mitch gave Will a red lei, "This shouldn't be too hard." Will stated.
"Famous last words." Mitch remarked as Carlton draped a purple lei on Paige, and then Billy put a black lei on Will.
"This will go until either of you give up, or drop to your knees." Pamela told the two as a montage accompanied by dramatic music showed Will and Paige getting progressively more leis as the transitions passed.
Kodi crossed his fingers that Will survives, Sasha watching carefully as who loses can dictate what her game plan going for is, Brandon massaging his girlfriend's shoulders to alleviate the stress.
As time moved on both competitors were at forty-eight leis each, and the accumulated weight of the flowers began to come into effect as Will's neck started to crane.
Paige meanwhile took in deep breaths as she bared the increasing weight of the flowers. A few more rounds later one of them dropped down from the weight of the leis, that being...

... "Sorry Will, but looks like you're done." Drew announced as Will dropped.
The Parker twin shook off the leis as he got to his knees, Kodi running over and hugging him tightly. Will chuckled as he patted Kodi, "Don't worry Kode, I had a good run."
Paige then tossed down her leis before approaching Will, "Hey, good game." Paige held out a hand, which Will accepted.
"Thanks, good luck in the competition." Will told her before he got up and looked at Kodi, "Thanks for being there for me Kodes, walk me to the cage?"
"Gladly." Kodi grabbed his hand and walked him to where cage of shame was waiting.
"The rest of you, head on to bed," Drew told the kids. The kids left, another elimination in the books, "Looks like another lover has been eliminated from Saka! Now that Will is gone, will Sasha catch onto Beatrice's betrayal? Will Brandon and King become the ultimate rivalry? And will Kodi ever emotionally recover from today's elimination? Who knows? Find out next time on... Total... Drama... SAKAMANNANO ISLAND!"
FreshmEn: Finally we have returned. Mostly just a huge writer's block from me preventing me from finishing these two episodes that Zory had ready back in, like, June. It was pretty fun to revisit them, though, and hopefully, this reignites my spark as a writer and gets me back into the grove, especially since the faster this is done the fast we can get to Dramatic Convergence (Assuming we haven't already planned some things out for the season winky face). Also probably after this episode you're gonna notice the tense change from past tense to present tense, since that's my preferred writing style right now. I just don't feel like editing the older episodes to fit this lol.
Zoryan El Muerto: Becaaaaaaaaaaaaaw ribbit!
Reasoning For Elimination: Another sadly early returner boot, but this was another case of not really having any reasonable way to stay around, especially since Will is least passive of his alliance and is actually capable of fighting back. We decided he would go here to show how much control Sasha is now getting in the merge, and it looks like things may stay that way... but who knows? You'll only find out once the future episodes come out, won't you?

Voting Confessionals:
"Sorry Will," Brandon rubbed the back of his head, "But I gotta... do what I gotta do, you understand right?" Brandon paused, "Yeah there's no way to justify this..."
"Please listen to me..." Beatrice prayed as Sebastian Jr voted for Sasha for her, "Vote for Sasha and we can win this whole game!"
"Paige came to me earlier about Sasha too... but I feel like she's trying to play some mind game on me to get the others eliminated!" Flora gripped her head.
You already know how this goes, King goes in, votes himself, and leaves.
"Beatrice really has something against Sasha." Kodi rubbed his head, "But Will told Flora and I about how she told him she wants to work together in the bird challenge!"
"Hopefully this works." Paige votes for Will.
Sasha sat back, "Four votes Will, too easy." Sasha smirked.
Will shook his head, "No way is Sasha working against us, we had a good time during the bird challenge together!"
