Author's Notes
Hi all. I'm back.
This chapter arrived much faster than expected, because I had a lot of fun writing it.
Well ... I think there is nothing more to say, so we are going to answer the reviews of the previous chapter:
Guest 1138: In fact Mortal Kombat and Injustice: Gods Among Us also served as inspiration for that chapter. Rita's purse was just one of the many references in that chapter, but I'm not going to write them here, because it would be too long.
Gucci Mane LaFlare: I'm glad you liked them. I must admit, I had a lot of fun writing the battle scenes, while imagining them in my head. I was always someone who used to write things in detail.
ZNBT: Actually, I watched that movie. That was one of my favorite scenes, and I wanted to do something similar in my story.
Now to the chapter!
Total Drama: Enchanted
Chapter 9 - Brawl in the Waterfall
It was another sunny day on the island. A night's rest was what everyone needed after all the beatings everyone received in yesterday's challenge.
To everyone's surprise, Chris appears to have been merciful to them, as they had all just woken up around noon, and the sadistic host didn't show up to suddenly wake them up in the morning as he usually does.
Rita had gone to the dining room, smiling cheerfully, and went to get her lunch, which was burnt green chicken. She eats her food with glee, disregarding the awful taste.
Confessional
Rita - "Now that Clover is gone, I am finally free! I have never felt so much happiness since I won my first Nobel Prize when I was 7 years old."
Pearl and Nigel were outside the dining room, where she was teaching him some tricks with the yo-yo, but he always ended up hitting his head.
"I still don't understand how you handle yo-yos so well" Nigel commented.
"Years of practice and fun" Pearl replied with a smile. "Besides, I'm sure you'll be able to handle them in no time."
"Thanks for your compliments, Pearl" said Nigel. "You're very kind".
They both go into comfortable silence, until Nigel speaks again.
"And… how is your team doing lately?"
"It's hard to explain," said Pearl. "Yesterday we voted for one of our best players because of a misunderstanding, and it seems that the team is very distant from each other."
"That's a real shame, considering they have four members less than us."
"Well, we're still a great team," Pearl commented confidently.
"I don't doubt it," said Nigel. "It seems like you guys are a bit… messy though."
"Yes, that is very evident" she commented. "Agatha has anger problems, Rita is not very social, besides she was the one who convinced us to vote for Clover, Diego is more of an animal than a normal person, and Julien is very distracted and…"
"Explosive?" Nigel laughs.
"Yeah" she laughs too. "Speaking of Julien, it seems like he started keeping an eye on a girl…"
"Really? Who?" he asked with great interest.
"He seems to have a crush on Karen."
"What a surprise. It's certainly something interesting" said Nigel, before getting up. "Well, I have to go to the bathroom. See you later?"
"Anytime" said Pearl.
Nigel walks away from the place, smiling, not with joy, but with evil.
Confessional
Nigel - "Do you want to know my plan? Ok, I'll tell you. My plan is to use Pearl to have eyes on the other team. I acted like a gentleman, and she, being the most social of her team, gives me everything kind of information she has on her team. Plus, she'll also act as bait when things start to get out of hand."
Nigel makes it to the bathroom, but walks further behind the structure, as someone emerged from the shadows.
"What news do you have to tell?" Karen's soft voice asked.
"It seems like the other team is very distant from each other" Nigel said. "Clover left because Rita made everyone believe that she was the mole."
"Well, it was something that could have already been expected. A secret agent in the cast is already something that can get anyone's attention" said Karen. "Anything else?"
"Agatha becomes increasingly grumpy, Rita stays away from her team, Diego still needs a leash, and Julien seems to have a crush on you."
"Uh, that's interesting…" Karen said with a smile. "I must admit that your strategy is very clever, Nigel. Get on with yours, while I use this information to come up with a plan" Karen ordered, and after sending him a hand kiss, she withdrew.
Nigel just stood there, not understanding.
Confessional
Karen - "So Julien likes me… Good. I can use that to my advantage. It will be a lot of fun to crush and break the heart of that aspiring Michael Jackson."
Nigel - "I still don't understand Karen's plans, and my intuition keeps warning me that I shouldn't trust her. For now I'll just play her game, and when I get tired, I'll get rid of her."
Before reaching the dining room, Karen had run into Julien, who had some fireworks and some spark sticks.
"Oh, hi Julien" Karen greeted with a smile.
"Hello Karen!" Julien greeted happily, as he lit another firework, which shoots up and explodes in the sky.
"Now that I met you, I want to confess something to you. I must confess that… I am… very attracted… by your explosive attitude" she said, blushing.
"Really?" Julien asked blushing.
"Of course. I also enjoy fireworks" she said, holding out her hand. "May l?"
"Yeah sure" Julien answered, handing her a stick of sparks from him.
She changes the position of some explosives, and then makes them all explode together. They all shoot up and fly through the sky, before exploding into the shape of a heart.
"Wow. You are really good at this" Julien smiled.
"Speaking of bombs… do you have any cherry bombs you can lend me?"
"Of course. I have plenty of it" Julien said, taking some cherry bombs from his pocket, and handed them to Karen.
"Thank you very much Julien. See you later" she said, sending him a kiss with her hand and leaving, leaving Julien, who catches the "kiss" in his hands.
Confessional
Julien - "I never thought I'd be attracted to anything other than explosions, but Karen shares the same tastes as me. Finally, someone I can be with without her threatening to call the police."
Karen - "Julien is one of the strangest and most annoying on this island. I have a hard time putting up with that lunatic ... However, some cherry bombs could be very useful, and he is the only one who can deliver them to me without asking questions and without suspect".
Karen had joined Sonya and Maggie to chat in the dining room.
"How is your head?" Maggie asked, handing her a bag of ice.
"I still have a headache, but I'll be fine" Sonya said. "But seriously, the other team has to get rid of Agatha soon. I don't think she was kidding about the beating she gave me."
"With all the defeats they are suffering, it is likely that she will be leaving soon" said Karen.
"It's amazing how lucky we are," said Maggie. "It's been a week, and we've only lost one member."
"It's a shame it was Chantal and not Hunter," Sonya added.
"Definitely. That hunter has to leave soon before he destroys us all," Maggie said. "I suggest we vote for him the next time we lose."
"That plan rocks!" Sonya smiled.
The three of them get up, going to the exit, but they run into Felix, who pushes Maggie, and knocks her to the ground.
"Move over, cowgirl. You're in the way" said Felix, sitting down at his table, continuing with his reading.
"Hey! That's not very nice" Sonya said, helping Maggie up. "Are you okay girl?"
"Yeah thanks" Maggie said angrily. "That boy has to go too."
Confessional
Maggie - "Felix is too arrogant and authoritarian, always believing himself superior to everyone, and knocking down whoever is in front of him. He has to learn to calm down a bit, or it will be his turn at the slingshot."
"Just ignore him Maggie" Sonya said. "We have to take advantage of the rest of the day, while Chris hasn't called us yet."
"Break's over campers! Report to the highest mountain on the island in an hour!" Chris's voice called over the speakers.
"You had to open your mouth, right?" Karen moaned.
They had all climbed the mountain, and found what appeared to be a huge waterfall. Chris and Chef were there, holding a series of oars.
"Welcome campers to Pahkitew Falls!" Chris said, smiling.
"I don't remember seeing these falls here before," Rita commented.
"Because they weren't here before" Chris replied. "I remind everyone that we are on a mechanical island, and anything can happen here."
"Why did you bring us here?" Otis asked.
"Are you going to make us jump from here?" Pearl asked, scared.
"That would be really funny, but no" Chris replied.
"What are those oars for?" Julien asked.
"What do you think they are for, Einstein?" Rita said.
"Chef Hatchet, lead us to the canoes!" Chris asked.
"Canoes?" Nigel said in a small voice. "A-A-Are we…"
"You are going to race these waters!" Chris exclaimed.
"Nooooo!" they all yelled at once.
"Oh yeah!" Raymond exclaimed.
"Do you love putting your life in danger?" Nigel said dismissively.
"Rowing down a waterfall! That's brutal!" Raymond smiled.
"Do you know that there is a high possibility of dying if you fall through a huge waterfall?" Rita questioned.
"Precisely" said Chris. "So this challenge will be fun, because you will be rowing for your lives."
"What do you mean?" Pearl asked.
"Well you see, it wouldn't be funny to do a race where most of the work would be done by the river current, and a race against the current would take too long and get boring quickly" Chris explained. "So I made some adjustments for this race."
"Surprise us…" Otis groaned.
"In today's race, the one who finishes last will win!" Chris announced. "You will have to fight for victory against the current! The last team to fall through the falls will be the winner."
"So the two teams will have to row a canoe as a group?" Ginger asked.
"Nah, that would be too simple and boring" Chris denied. "Everyone will have to paddle a canoe in pairs. There will be a canoe for two."
"That is very unfair!" Agatha exclaimed furiously. "It would be three canoes against five! We have less chance of winning!"
"You guys must have thought about that before you fell like flies" Chris teased. "Come all. It is time to form pairs."
"Can we form them?" Sonya asked.
"No need. I already took care of pairing you" said Chris with a smile. "Don't worry. I made sure to give you good company."
Confessional
Maggie - "I've seen enough of this show to know Chris is going to pair me up with someone I hate."
Chris pulls a sheet of paper out of his shirt pocket. "The couples will be: Diego and Pearl. Raymond and Yoshi. Ginger and Karen. Agatha and Otis. Hunter and Lucas. Sonya and Nigel. Julien and Rita. Felix and Maggie."
"What a couple rubbish," Hunter complained.
Confessional
Lucas - "Why? Why with that grumpy tiger? What have I done to deserve such karma?"
Karen - "I would have preferred to go with someone who is useful, oh well ..."
Nigel - "Ok ... I must confess that I have a fear of heights ..."
Diego - "I am a champion of races against the current. Of course, I had to sacrifice the lives of my former teammates to win, but hey, that's life!"
Rita - "Very uneven couples. I just hope that lunatic doesn't make me explode."
Maggie - "Of course they put me together with that pompous boy. I just hope he has the strength to row, or I'm going to use him as a row."
Felix - "The cowgirl ... Ugh. What a stroke of bad luck."
The contestants had put themselves in pairs and took the eight canoes that the Chef had offered them. Attached to a rope, they had jumped into the river mounted on them.
"Remember, eight couples, only one winner. The last canoe to fall will take the victory for its team" Chris explained again. "The water moves at a speed of ..."
"Cut the crap!" Nigel said, gripping his paddle tightly and looking scared.
"Ready! ... set! ... row!"
Chef Hatchet pulled out a sword and cut the eight strings. The canoes began to advance, dragged down the river. The contestants began to row in the opposite direction, trying to advance against the current, but the force of the river was too strong, preventing them from moving in that direction.
"Agatha and Otis are in first position!" Chris announced over a megaphone, pointing at the couple.
Indeed, Agatha and Otis were the couple furthest from the waterfall, which left them first. Both managed to maintain good progress due to being the ones with the most strength to row.
A couple of canoes away, Diego and Pearl were having a good lead, taking third place.
"Yes! We are going to win!" Diego exclaimed, and began to row with all his might.
"Wow, it looks like I'm not going to have to try too hard with you, Diego" said Pearl, looking at the competition behind, or in front of her, and saw that Sonya and Nigel were behind them, even though Nigel was rowing in a very agitated, shaking the canoe.
"Take it easy, Nigel!" Sonya exclaimed, trying to keep her balance. "If you keep paddling like this, you're going to drop our canoe!"
But Nigel wasn't listening to her. He just kept paddling hurriedly, with a panicked expression, doing his best to get away from the waterfall.
Hunter and Lucas were in last position, but it was for a funny reason.
"How is it possible that we are last?" Hunter growled, turning to see his partner, and realizing what was happening.
Lucas was paddling in the direction of the waterfall.
"Idiot! You're paddling backwards!" Hunter yelled, taking Lucas's oar and hitting him over the head. "Can you be more foolish? This is something that has no name!"
"Yes, it does, it's called an oar" Lucas said, pointing to the oar that Hunter had in his hand.
Hunter sighs, trying to stay calm. "Lucas, when you can, send me an invitation the day you finally start using your brain."
Lucas was silent. "I won't answer anything because I don't understand what you said."
"I know you don't understand…" Hunter replied. "You never understand."
"Wait a minute…" Lucas narrowed his eyes. "Are you calling me silly?"
"Wow, until you finally understood!" Hunter said with mock surprise. "It's amazing that they left me with you. As always, I will have to do everything myself."
Hunter throws the paddle at Lucas, hitting him in the face, and continues to paddle, but then watches Lucas throw his paddle into the canoe, folding his arms.
"Row, you idiot!" Hunter yelled. "We are going to lose this race because of you!"
"No! Not until you start being nice and treat me with respect!" Lucas said.
"Lucas, for God's sake, you're going to kill us!" Hunter said desperately. "And what's worse… we're going to lose the challenge!"
Back in first place, Agatha and Otis still held first place, with neither of them showing any signs of exhaustion.
"Keep it up, Otis!" Agatha ordered. "At this rate, we will defeat them all!"
However, Otis managed to notice that Agatha's gaze was constantly wandering to the canoe behind them.
Near them, in second place, were Raymond and Yoshi, working as a team. However, Yoshi couldn't help noticing that Agatha was looking at him suspiciously.
"Do you have any problem?" Yoshi called.
"Yes, you are my problem" said Agatha. "Don't worry, I'm already planning my revenge."
"Revenge? Why?" Yoshi asked concerned.
"You ruined our chances of winning" said Agatha.
"Get over it girl" Raymond said. "He beat you because he's a better fighter than you. You have to cool down."
"Listen, Agatha, if you think about attacking us, it will be your team that will suffer the consequences" Yoshi said.
"They are right, Agatha…" Otis stated.
"You don't scare me! I'M THE CAPTAIN!" Agatha yelled, and began to laugh hysterically.
Confessional
Yoshi - "That girl is starting to freak me out…"
Felix and Maggie struggled to get ahead of the others.
"Look Maggie, we are going to establish a series of rules" said Felix. "First: Felix is NOT looked at. Second: Felix is NOT spoken to. Third: Felix's challenge is NOT spoiled ... Got it?"
Maggie groans angrily. "Ok, Fel… Augh!" she is silenced by a paddle stroke from Felix.
"You have broken the second rule!" cried Felix. "And now row harder!"
After a while of racing, Agatha and Otis remained in the first position, but the other couples managed to keep up with them and stay close to them. They were followed by Raymond and Yoshi, Diego and Pearl, Sonya and Nigel, Felix and Maggie, Ginger and Karen, Julien and Rita, and finally Hunter and Lucas.
While rowing, Rita decides to start a conversation with her partner.
"Hey Julien. Who are you planning to vote for if we lose?"
"I'm not interested in who is leaving. I'm only interested in explosions!" Julien said, pulling a hidden grenade from his pocket.
"Why do you have a grenade here!?" Rita yelled.
"Because I love explosions!" Julien exclaimed, unlocking the grenade.
"Julien! NOOOOOOOOOO!" Rita yelled desperately.
BOOM!
The grenade exploded and gasps were heard. Julien and Rita's canoe was destroyed in the explosion, and they were both catapulted into the air. The two landed a few meters from the falls and, within seconds, they both fell through it.
"Julien and Rita eliminated!" Chris announced over the megaphone. "The Raptor Falcons have only two canoes left."
"Curse you, Julien!" Agatha said furiously.
Confessional
Rita - (She was full of wounds and covered by bandages) "That kamikaze is going to pay."
"Oh my. I feel sorry for them" Lucas said as he saw the two campers fly away. "That fall could make anyone dumb."
"Or MORE dumb, in your case," Hunter said wearily. "And since you don't row, we're going to have the same fate as them!"
"Row harder, team!" Agatha yelled.
"Do you always have to yell?" Raymond said.
"Shut up, punk!" Agatha yelled at him.
"What an insult to someone whose hair looks like a wet mop!" Raymond scoffed.
Agatha has had enough and breaks her paddle in half. "You guys have already fed me!"
"Agatha, wait!" Otis yelled, but it was too late.
Agatha jumps out of her canoe, and lands on the boys' canoe, destroying it and throwing the three into the water. Under the water, Agatha was beating the two boys mercilessly.
The current dragged the three contestants into the fall, and all three fell down the waterfall, emitting a scream of panic.
"Raymond and Yoshi eliminated! And Agatha is down!" Chris announced.
"Did she really leave all the work to me?" Otis groaned, paddling harder. "Paddle harder guys! We're at a disadvantage!" he told Diego and Pearl.
"Do not worry my friend!" Diego said. "I can go on like this all day!"
However, Pearl saw that Nigel was paddling in a hurried and agitated manner, threatening to pull his own canoe.
"Diego, can you come closer to that canoe?" Pearl asked, pointing to Sonya and Nigel's canoe.
"As you order, my friend" Diego said, starting to row to the side.
Confessional
Pearl - "I had to help him. If they lost, they could blame him for their fear of heights."
"Lucas! Row! Row! Roooooooooow…!" Hunter yelled, but it was too late. The two fell down the waterfall, screaming in despair.
"Hunter and Lucas eliminated!" Chris announced.
Ginger and Karen were making good progress, but both of their arms were getting tired.
"Come on Ginger, don't give up now!" Karen said.
"I'm trying Karen!" Ginger replied.
Felix and Maggie were still paddling, but they weren't in sync, causing the canoe to move and shake several times.
"You're doing it wrong, Fel…!" Maggie was again silenced by another paddle stroke from Felix.
"Do I have to remind you of the rules, cowgirl?" Felix said, rubbing his rulebook on her face, but at that moment, she catches the book in her hands and takes it from Felix.
"This is what I think of your rules!" she screams, and throws the book into the river.
Felix screams in horror as he sees his precious book being carried away by the current. He tries to reach it, but the book is already too far away. He glares at a smiling Maggie.
"You are going to pay me for this!" he exclaimed, raising the oar threateningly.
"I can't take you anymore ...!" Maggie said, fed up, as she got up.
"What do you think you're doing? Sit down!" Felix ordered.
"You've been treating me like an old rag doll all day!" Maggie said. "Let's see if you can win this without me!"
And with that said, Maggie jumped out of her canoe into the river, letting the current carry her, until she fell over the waterfall.
"Maggie, you are going to pay!" cried Felix.
"Maggie eliminated!" Chris announced.
Diego and Pearl managed to get close enough to Sonya and Nigel's canoe.
"Sonya, can you row by yourself for a moment?" Pearl asked.
"Are you really going to help us?" Sonya asked, incredulous.
"Helping is my pleasure" replied Pearl with a sincere smile.
"Alright. Just make him stop" Sonya said, pointing at her agitated partner.
Pearl pulls her paddle out of the water. "Forgive me for this Nigel" she hits him on the head, causing him to stop with his paddling.
"Augh! That hurt!" Nigel groaned.
"Nigel, listen to me," Pearl called. "I have seen that you are afraid of heights, but there is nothing wrong with that. It is okay to be afraid. In fact, the fear is not even real. All of that is just in your mind."
Nigel was still shaking. "I remind you that we are about to fall down a waterfall who knows how many meters high!"
"Just stay calm. It's just a jump into the water. You won't get hurt," Pearl assured.
"Unless Chris prepared some sharp rocks at the end of the fall ..." Diego commented, not realizing that it made Nigel freeze again in fear.
"Or a safety net to prevent our fall!" Sonya added, to prevent Nigel from freaking out again.
"Listen, Nigel. Let's do a quick little exercise to keep calm" Pearl explained. "Just breathe with me. Just inhale and exhale. Inhale and exhale…"
Nigel takes Pearl's advice, and inhales and exhales. At first he did it quickly, but with each breath, he became increasingly slower and calmer. After a minute, Nigel manages to calm down completely.
"Are you better now?" Pearl asked.
Nigel exhales one last time and nods. "I'm fine now."
"Good, because now we must…" Pearl is silent, when Nigel had quickly risen from his canoe and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Thanks for everything, Pearl" Nigel smiled.
Pearl is stunned by the kiss and falls, completely forgetting that she was in a canoe. She accidentally throws the canoe and Diego into the water, letting the current carry them away, and after a while they were already victims of the falls.
"Diego and Pearl eliminated!" Chris announced. "Only Otis remains rowing for the Falcons victory!"
"What was that?" Sonya said, frowning.
"A kiss of thanks, of course," Nigel said. "Now keep rowing, this race will not be won alone."
Confessional
Sonya - "I don't know what to think about that scene. It's okay for Nigel to thank Pearl for her help, but his nonchalant attitude when pulling her out of her canoe makes me wonder if that was a sincere act, or a strategy."
As they paddled, Fang suddenly jumps out of the water, his jaws open, ready to attack the two contestants. The attack destroys the canoe, and sends Sonya and Nigel being swept away by the current, and eventually falling down the waterfall.
"Sonya and Nigel eliminated! There are only three canoes left paddling for victory!"
Otis was concerned. There are still two canoes from the other team, maintaining good progress, and he was alone in the canoe. So all hopes of winning were pinned on him.
He thinks, running a hand over his bag of tools. Suddenly a spotlight went on over Otis's head as an idea occurred to him.
He takes a rope and a hook out of his bag, and arms them. When finished, he throws the hook into a tree near the river, and it gets stuck in a thick branch. Otis ties the other end of the rope to his canoe, holding it and stopping its advance.
"Nooooo! That's against all the rules!" Felix yelled furiously as his canoe came dangerously close to the finish line.
"Sorry, Felix, you no longer have your rule book to do whatever you want," Chris laughs.
"Curse you, Maggie!" was the last thing Felix said before falling over the waterfall.
"Felix eliminated! There are only two canoes left, one from each team!"
Confessional
Karen - "I had to think of something fast. I was not interested in my team being exposed to elimination, but I would be risking losing Nigel because he has made a fool of himself with his panic at heights. A sabotage was the best decision"
Karen pulls out a slingshot and a cherry bomb, and takes aim at the rope that tied Otis to the tree.
"Remember, Ginger. You must keep rowing. Don't take your eyes off the road" Karen pointed out.
"Got it, Karen," Ginger said, focusing entirely on rowing.
When Ginger wasn't looking, Karen took the opportunity to fire the bomb. It hits the exact spot where the rope was tied to the canoe, and it explodes instantly, breaking the rope and part of Otis's canoe while it was moving again.
"Otis's rope broke!" Ginger said, looking away for a moment. "How did that happen?"
"I think the current was too strong…" Karen said, hiding her slingshot.
"It hasn't been broken… She has broken it…" Otis whispered, looking suspiciously at Karen.
Unfortunately, even though Otis was ahead of them and was able to paddle harder, the explosion had caused his canoe to sink slowly, until Otis fell completely into the water, and shortly after, over the waterfall.
"Ginger and Karen are the victors! The Raptor Falcons will have to face the elimination ceremony! Well… that is if they survived the fall from the falls" said Chris.
"Yeah! We won!" Ginger celebrated, letting go of the paddle and hugging Karen.
"Idiot, don't stop rowing!" she exclaimed, horrified.
Their canoe came perilously close to the fall of the falls and in no time the two of them were thrown down the falls, screaming in horror.
Only Rita and Julien were injured, and it was from the explosion rather than the fall. Unlike Diego and Sonya's predictions, at the end of the falls there was nothing at the bottom, it was just a free fall into a lake, something that made Nigel quite happy.
On their way to the elimination ceremony, the six members of the Raptor Falcons were demoralized. They already have five losses out of six.
"What are we doing wrong?! Whaaaaat?!" Agatha said furiously.
"Okay, let's review ..." said Otis. "Julien put a bomb in his own canoe, Pearl was stunned with Nigel, and you left me to go fight with Yoshi and Raymond. That's what we do wrong. "
Pearl was crying, embarrassed. "I'm sorry ... I'm embarrassed, I ..."
"What about you? You didn't win either!" Agatha said, crossing her arms.
"They sabotaged me, I already explained it to you!" Otis exclaimed.
"Yeah, yeah, Karen's story…" Agatha said, incredulous.
They had all reached the campfire area and settled into their places. Chris was waiting for them there, with a plate of five marshmallows.
"I already save the explanation about how the elimination ceremony goes. You already know that more than enough" said Chris, laughing.
Confessional
Otis - "Agatha is getting out of control. Better get rid of her now."
Agatha - "The idiot bomber, his days are numbered."
Pearl - "I'm so embarrassed… I got carried away by Nigel… It can't be repeated, and it won't be repeated"
Julien - "I already know who to vote for. I don't like being ordered around!"
"Wow. I can tell there's a lot of hatred between all of you" Chris commented. "Which is fun."
They all look at him with hatred.
"You already know the exercise. I call your names, and you receive a marshmallow. Whoever does not call will leave this island ... forever."
"The following campers are safe ..."
...
...
"Diego"
...
...
"Rita"
...
...
"and Otis"
The three campers catch their marshmallows, leaving Agatha, Pearl, and Julien without one.
"The three of you are in danger for being the ones with at least one vote against him," Chris explained. "Today, one of you three will leave us never to return ... ever."
Agatha shot her two companions a warning look. Pearl kept crying. Julien just smiled, not worried.
"The next marshmallow goes to ..."
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
"Julien"
Julien happily catches his marshmallow, while Agatha and Pearl looked at him in surprise and nervousness.
"And the last marshmallow goes to…"
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
"Pearl"
"Nooooo!"
Surprisingly, the one who had screamed was not Agatha, but Pearl. She hadn't caught her marshmallow, and had gotten up from her seat and was staring at Chris blankly.
"How is it possible? I have voted for myself!"
"And that's the only vote against you, Pearl," Chris said. "I have two votes for Julien, and three for Agatha."
However, there was still the worst: Agatha was assimilating the news of being eliminated. Everyone on the team and Chris braced themselves for the Russian girl's reaction.
"GRRRRRRRRRR! HOW COULD YOU HAVE VOTED ME, TRAITORS! I AM THE CAPTAIN!"
Chef Hatchet and some interns came and put a straitjacket on Agatha, and they took her and quickly placed her in the Sling of Shame.
"I WAS GOING TO TAKE YOU TO VICTORY! YOU'RE HAVE NO CHANCE WITHOUT ME!"
"Agatha, you've been eliminated from Total Drama: Enchanted. It's time to go."
"Knet! This isn't going to stay like this! I'll be back!" Agatha yelled, just before Chris pulled the lever, shooting Agatha away from the island.
Pearl looked up at the starry sky. "I deserved to be eliminated ..."
"Don't torture yourself, my friend" Diego said. "That girl was crazy."
"Definitely. She deserved to go," Otis agreed. "Although without her ... we are left without a leader."
"Otis, you should be the captain" Rita said. "I can see you as the most qualified for that position."
"Yes, I agree. You are the one to lead us to victory" said Pearl.
"I can put up with you, unlike that crazy woman" added Julien.
"You are the strongest and most resourceful of our team, and you care about others. The role of leader is perfect for you, my friend" clarified Diego.
Otis smiles, grateful for all the compliments from his teammates.
As everyone retired to rest, Chris turns to the camera. "This was an interesting outcome. Now Otis is the leader of the Raptor Falcons, and the Rabid Rabbits are beginning to distance themselves from each other. Will Otis manage to be a suitable leader, or will he fail big? The new rivalry between Maggie and Felix will it end up separating the team into different camps? And who will be next in the slingshot? Find out next time at… "
"Total! Drama! Enchanted!"
CONTESTANTS
Raptor Falcons: Diego, Pearl, Julien, Rita, Otis.
Rabid Rabbits: Felix, Hunter, Ginger, Karen, Raymond, Lucas, Maggie, Sonya, Nigel, Yoshi.
Eliminated: Bianca (Raptor Falcons), Isaac (Raptor Falcons), Erika (Raptor Falcons), Chantal (Rabid Rabbits), Tony (Raptor Falcons), Clover (Raptor Falcons), Agatha (Raptor Falcons)
And Agatha is gone. Congratulations to Guest 1138 for guessing that Agatha would be the next to go, and even, in part, the reason she was voted out.
Agatha was already starting to get out of control, and was getting more and more violent, so it was time for her to leave, before I ended up overexploiting her.
This chapter was full of interactions between the contestants, compensating for the lack of these in the previous chapter.
Here is born another rivalry: Maggie and Felix. The two of them had the least participation so far, and finally a plot with them begins.
Nigel and Karen seem to be starting to take control of the whole situation in this game, with Pearl and Julien as their "minions".
Karen is back with her tricks, but this time, Otis was a witness. Could it be that he will begin to suspect?
Here we meet a small weakness in Nigel: fear of heights. Originally I planned not to use that, since it cluttered the plot of the episode a bit, but I managed to put it to use, and that served for Nigel and Pearl to be closer, and for Nigel to have more control over her.
What do you think the kiss that Nigel gave Pearl means? Was it for a thank you, or just a strategy?
Now there are only five members of the Raptor Falcons left. Could it be that they even managed to reach the merge?
Did you enjoy the challenge?
Do you like this new rivalry between Maggie and Felix?
