Total Drama X: Ultimate Islands!
Episode 24: The Two For One Special.
Part 1: Teamwork on Sale.
They've crossed with Cruise (outside of a challenge), they've crossed over with Infinite (once again outside of a challenge) and now in a challenge, they get to crossover with the original finished Total Drama fanfic series, Total Drama Everything. (Honestly, I don't mind 3 not being finished, 1 and 2 are more than enough.)
Much more importantly, Sol's elimination what's up with that? Probably should've put that into last chapter, but that really got a good chunk of the teams' goat at the moment and I should've answered both reviews from Memeking & 1602jaw in the previous chapter, but nothing like a good time to change things and plus, MasterKat herself gave me her blessings.
Put it this way, this had no chance of being finished on Episode 3 and now, it has a very likely chance of being finished, even being two years into the story and me working on an weird sequel on the side as well.
For the last part's reviews:
Memeking, I'm glad that kinda agree on the Total Drama/Survivor/Ridonculous Race/Amazing Race crossover appreciation 'cause I always like reading those kinds of fanfics.
1602jaw, uh...I don't watch One piece, but Zoro would definitely have a mini-arc about it and also I'm glad you liked Part 3's use of tension.
And for right now's reviews:
Memeking, I'm a Sol fan too, but it does make sense for the story and more importantly, I agree that Giovanni was a badass in here. (He's got a future.)
1602jaw, I tried give Giovanni something, but he's kinda elimination bait at this point and also, I can't blame for you for not vibing with Sol Badguy, Hsien-Ko and Sakura. (They're fighting game characters!)
Also...you're reading the anniversary special. :)
"Last time on Total Drama: Ultimate Islands...these guys had to climb to the top of Mount Pahkitew through awhole bunch of paths, their fellow eliminated campers and absurd obstacles and it didn't help that the Fiery Foxes were still reeling from Kipo's untimely elimination. Whatever those guys were feeling, it made their team lose both in team synergy and the challenge!"
"Seriously, during the challenge, Dante and Coachman tried to get on each other's nerves a bunch with Azula, Deadpool and Basil just being the witnesses to the craziness! Terry, Samus, Ryuko and Nicole were real mad and made their team win...along with the two alliances that were on that team...and Mr. Smee!"
"While that happened and the Capybaras with Mr. Smee enjoyed their sauna trip, the Fiery Foxes had to send Hsien-Ko, Sakura and Giovanni out and to everyone's surprise, Sol Badguy got out! Did I mention the new super-alliance called Donkey Heads? Yeah, dude, so 12 guys from both teams tried to eliminate that Coachman and uh, he survived!"
Oh crud, it's time for the lack of a recap.
"Will Coachman finally get the payback he apparently deserves? Will Dante get over him? Will the Donkey Heads achieve something else other than loss? Will Nicole, Samus and whatnot not be mad? What about the Donkey Heads, Drama Berets and the Damned Alliance? There's a lot right now on..."
Chris made sure to emphasise it.
"...Total Drama: Ultimate Islands!"
TOTAL DRAMA: ULTIMATE ISLANDS
PRESENTS...
two years of not getting this stuff finished, as there's still a lot to go through and hopefully, it'll be finished before 2024 and more importantly
TOTAL DRAMA EVERYTHING & TOTAL DRAMA:ULTIMATE ISLANDS...
...The Two For One Special.
Right after the elimination, everyone could feel the incredible amount of tension that was being very badly handled by the two rivals of the Fiery Foxes...especially the team that could feel it.
"Explain yourself, old man!" Dante shouted. "Why Sol! He's a good friend and honestly, probably doesn't want me talking to you and..."
Dante was deep in thought, as Coachman had quite the serious face.
"Is this going on too long?" Pit asked, as Deadpool leaned in. "There a problem?"
"Ah..."
Pit, Deadpool, Yumeko and Basil all looked at him expectantly.
"...no, step away from me." He whispered to them.
Dante had a moment of realisation.
"Why not Squirrel Girl?" Dante asked. "She's plenty strong, isn't hated and more importantly, can mesh with a lot of people and isn't...Sol Badguy! Why are you here, though?"
"I already told you. My apparent inconsistency is really working for me, Sol's quite lacking socially, he has absurd power especially in a fight and more importantly, he's smart enough to realise that his elimination is well-timed!" He growled, trying to hide his anger. "That is it for what I will explain to you!"
"...How?"
"...I told you."
And the two were still stewing, as the other four just looked at them...along with the rest of the team wisely staying away from the feuding duo.
"Well, that was productive." Yumeko answered. "You two can go hangout somewhere else."
"Don't worry about it, I was gonna!" Dante just got up, as Coachman just rolled his eyes. "What the hell, it's literally 10pm..."
And that was last night, which didn't provide a lot of amicable moments between those two.
*Yumeko's confessional*
The gambling girl was tired.
"Unsurprisingly, voting off Sol had the potential to do that and well, you can see the television screen or reader thing as Deadpool says sometimes. But Sol had to be voted off sometime and this wasn't his time, but he's not on the show!" Yumeko said.
*Confessional cut*
Fortunately for Chris, the situation did not improve much in the next 12 hours thanks to the rift becoming way more obvious and the team not being able to mend it through sheer...willpower?
Azula and Pinstripe looked like they had enough already for three hours and those two would not stop having a well-reason discussion with each other.
"Will you two stop going near each other?" Pinstripe asked. "It stopped be entertaining a month ago and started being...shit a bit less than that ago."
For the record, those two blocking the feuding hero and villain.
"Yes, Sol Badguy is gone, you both can complain about the consequences later. As much as you two could do incredibly well together, your conversations are...you don't need me to tell you this." Azula's frustrated tone took the both of them off-guard. "Honestly, I would eliminate the both of you if situations like keep coming up."
Dante and Coachman still retained the glare.
"Sure, you have my word. I'm also sure that he's trying to encroach on my space." Dante just shrugged.
"Well, it was just a little bit of fun, you know." Coachman casually dismissed the...thing. "Besides, we do have to win a challenge."
Azula's face didn't change from the mild rage she was holding in, as Pinstripe facepalmed.
"Well, that's it, you guys! You guys have to play nice or...die hard." Pit said. "For real."
"For real." Yumeko added onto the angel's words. "Or else we'll vote on you."
*Ochako Uraraka's confessional*
The weightless hero was trying to not float.
"It's weird how the strongest guy in the team just gets voted off and aside from him being gone and there being one less strong player in this competition, nothing's changed. The demons are fighting, Azula's definitely hiding something and my friends are trying to have a good time in a tense team." She said. "...How?"
*Mystique Sonia's confessional*
The hero with a tongue and a living hat had to say her thoughts.
"At least Squirrel Girl's still in and Sol's out. That guy was kinda scary and sure he's a bit hot, but he's also 200 years old and mean...so he kinda deserved to get out. Still don't know how Coachman's in, he's the meanest and oldest looking!" Mystique Sonia had to say. "And he also loses half the challenges unlike Sol."
*Confessional cut*
The Donkey Heads were sure of something, as these twelve guys or gals were either madly confused or intriuged by the actual upset that just happened and uh...
...thanks to nothing happening during the past four or five hours, they all got together and they were all mad, as only half of them were sure of this thing.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS DOING AND WHY ARE YOU DOING IT?" Kyo asked. "I thought it was this easy!"
"Why would you think that and also...he's quite the teammate if you don't consider his sadistic and criminal streak." Basil answered. "...Apparently, Sol's a threat."
"Uh..."
Kyo was thinking about it.
"...obviously Sol was a threat, but he ain't a villain and he cares about life."
"That is true and there's probably more than a few votes being swapped around as well." Basil said. "The general animosity of our team is still there."
"And it's because of him right?!" Kyo shouted.
Basil, Clover, Rock and Deadpool were the four from the Fiery Foxes and Kyo and Terry were the only ones from the Chill Capybaras and it wasn't that complicated.
"I guess so, but that is not entirely true." Basil answered. "With Sol gone, we only have a war criminal, the enemy of this alliance, a gangster and...honestly, the insane man."
"You know it's a bad sign when I'm a solid example of leadership! I could do that if only there was chimichanges." Deadpool practically made Basil eye-roll. "But I'm more of a guns on my hands, loyalty on the head guy!"
"...Then be the leader or something because this guy sucks a lot according to you!" Kyo yelled, as Deadpool just sighed and Basil was...confused. "You could do some crazy stuff with your random bunch of powers."
"...Uh, not to roast myself or anything, but I'm not a leader. I'm a fun guy and as a main fun guy, what would make you think I'd be a good one?" Deadpool asked. "Aside from being in every Total Drama crossover ever?"
"You wouldn't, but-"
"Dude, chill, we'll probably lose if I'm the head guy! Telling you from experience, you could kick a lot of ass!" Deadpool shouted. "If you've got the fire inside ya, then kick our butts!"
"-Alright, man, I'll go with you 'cause you won't stop talking!"
Kyo, Terry and Yuri were the only ones there from the Chill Capybaras, but they were all about the suggestion, even if the former was only by reluctantance.
"Good, I'm glad we settled the probable sabotage...because you do not look like a great leader." Basil answered.
"You're gonna eat those words, mouse man!" Kyo shouted, storming out of the abandoned house like Yuri and Terry weren't there. "Yeah!"
Yuri followed his example of being proud of the team and Terry walked out with confidence.
*Clover's confessional*
She was quite the smiling kid.
"I'm in an alliance with a bunch of cute boys that aren't Rock and wow, it's really hard to be in a relationship with all of the cute boys around...Chris, you're one sick ugly man!" Clover complained.
*Terry's confessional*
He took a breather.
"I do know Kyo that bit and if there's one thing he's good at is being really confident in himself and man, if he can put the same effort into fighting whatever demon comes in every KOF into making this team work? We're solid for the next two or three challenges!"
He paused for propsperity.
"This is still Kyo, though, he's not gonna do that."
*Deadpool's confessional*
"Do I smell a whiff of Katpool or something? Maybe it's just me, but I want to beat up an old man second and wonder what the fuck's going on this here day." Deadpool stated. "Besides, I'd probably forget about the challenge half-way through!"
You could tell he was excited about something important.
*Confessional cut*
In Azula's alliance, only about two thirds of it was in an undisclosed location and none of them clearly wanted to be there in the odd sewers that this island somehow contained.
Also known as the underground from 14 episodes ago.
"Since when he did not want to be in our alliance?" Iori asked. "He's an asshole."
"Actually he just told me that I'm worth nothing, that I'll turn into a jackass and that his alliance will be worth more than mine." Azula explained. "His words, actually."
"He couldn't even have the balls to show up?" Iori chimed in, before chuckling. "Damn...what happened?"
"Yeah, how do we kill-" Nicole started up, before Iori put his flaming hand in her face. "How do we make sure that he's gone."
"Patience, really? It even took me a long time for me to get...defeated by the Avatar's mediocre friends." Azula said. "And I doubt he doesn't have some sort of plan."
Yumeko looked at him incredulously, while Nicole and Iori looked like they were just wondering what kind of spectacular failure and a new dude walked in.
"Hold up, he's got a plan? What kind of epic plan?" Iori asked.
Lowain just looked at the alliance and wondered one thing.
"Wasn't there supposed to be an mobster and an psychopath here?" Lowain asked. "I'm only seeing a bunch of villains and the scariest mom ever."
"He kicked himself out! I don't know how he stayed in-" Iori shouted...right before stopping the shout.
Yumeko didn't look that surprised, moreso anticipating the old man's comeback, Iori looked pissed off, Nicole and Lowain shared being generally unimpressed despite their face and Azula's sudden anger couldn't really be read.
But it was there regardless, as Coachman walked with the best evil grin he could muster.
"Well, I finally showed up for the last time, really. Would be sad if I didn't say goodbye to all of you." Coachman sarcastically said. "Honestly, Lowain, you'd better off with my own alliance-"
"No, I won't!" Lowain just spat out.
And then he calmed down.
"Brah, Muscle Man, Basil and Dante are still there and your team thinks you're dooky and bruh, I bet this alliance hates you." Lowain explained. "Also, also, what's your price?"
"WHAT!" Nicole yelled, as Iori growled at the old man.
...Azula didn't say a single word, as the silence could be heard from miles away.
"A guaranteed spot in the final challenge, regardless of wherever I get eliminated." Coachman dropped his offer. "And importantly, that one thing where you...you...do the thing."
"...See ya next challenge!" Lowain shouted. "No-one here misses you!"
*Lowain's confessional*
The guy looked bemused.
"Look, I've heard of his shenanigans thanks to Yumeko doing the leak thing before getting into the alliance and first impressions of this alliance. I feel back at home on the ship...even the kid that's running everything except she's 100% evil." He explained. "The ship has 50 people on it, so one of those people are bound to be kinda like this alliance."
*Coachman's confessional*
He just grumbled. as he could sense...nothing good.
"This alliance that I'm going to be making...will have some important people, if I can even get them. Otherwise I'll have to win challenge after challenge as if I just could start winning?!" He emphasised. "Realistically, I can't really do that...so my new alliance is the only way to make it through."
*Confessional cut*
"But what about her war crimes?" Coachman asked. "Shameful if you ask me."
"You almost killed a bunch of teammates, I'd rather go with-" Lowain paused once he realised what he was going to say. "-Never mind, get out please!"
"PLEASE!" Nicole's eyes were flaming.
Coachman slowly grumbled his way out of the conversation, as the rest of the unnamed alliance just went on with it.
"Honestly, right now, we shouldn't meet together for a good while because it is not necessary with the amount of people that are left in the competition, even if there's more eliminations! I'd rather win and beat Sokka than the opposite." Azula answered. "This war meeting's over."
"We're not a war room, Azula." Iori said. "We need a name."
"We decided that this alliance was the War House for good reasons." Azula answered, as the other members went off to their own thing.
For what could only be considered for some reason...every decided to gather where Chris was for one obvious reason, as Yumeko and Lowain were the last ones to hear for the announcement about
"CAMPERS, THIS CHALLENGE HAS BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR A MONTH!"
Chris turned off the megaphone, as the contestants' hearing wasn't used to it.
"Damn, you're here early. Well, uh, this challenge should impress the lot of you, especially guys who like seeing other universes meet up and have an good old time fighting!"
Deadpool got excited and since there was a bunch of people that had inter-dimensional TV, they were really intrigued.
"Hold up, this challenge isn't on any island, so we'll get it when you guys arrive at the big store for today's big challenge!"
"OH MY GOD, shopping! Finally-" Clover interrupted Chris, as the host looked miffed. "-Sorry, Chris."
"Yeah!" Chris then looked less annoyed. "The challenge is actually simple, I've got a giant shopping list that's stuck in the store, but all you have to do is fill it all up, give to the cashier guy and win! But each team has only so many carts to carry the goods!"
"But it's shopping, how hard can it be?" Clover asked, almost on instinct.
"You forgot this entire season?" Shego wryly asked.
"How hard is it? Like I said, you're going to fight another universe's set of campers inside of a giant store for a bunch of random items, so you should watch out!"
The host shouted, as he was excited for this challenge and when he was excited, it meant that the challenge would drain the soul out of the campers.
"That's great and all, but how are we going to-" Basil asked, before...
...Chris pulled out something familiar to some people.
"HOW DID YOU GET THE PORTAL GUN!" Deadpool screamed.
"Shut up, Deadpool. He dropped it anyways, so...just jump in! Come on, campers, the challenge's awesome."
"It hasn't even started yet-" Shego got forced into the portal by Deadpool.
"Guys, are you going to pass up the opportunity for a crossover!" Deadpool shouted, as Pit, Miko and Muscle Man willingly jumped in. "Even if it's shopping."
"There better be Nikes in that shop because this challenge is-" Riley also got shoved in.
"-Chris."
Shego was the first one into what could only be described as an etheral version of a Walmart, as it both a lot bigger than any other kind of store like that and a lot weirder than that for hopefully obvious reasons...you don't just hop into an inter-dimensional Walmart without running into some other problems.
Like any three-floor big box store, there was definitely shelves and places for certain things and a certain bunch of items and unlike any of those kinda stores, even from viewing...it was apparent that there was some weird shit in here.
But it was definitely in this universe's Utah from the signage.
"Woo, Utah." Shego sardonically said.
Deadpool, Pit, Miko, Muscle Man, Riley and Ryuko arrived in that order, as there was a steady stream of familiar faces coming into the...entry vestibule...as Shego was thinking about Chris had said about there being not enough shopping carts.
"Hey, you never know when there's fashionable stuff here!" Clover interrupted Shego's thoughts. "I mean look at that, when did Gucci get here!"
"...I don't care, I just want everybody to be here!" Shego almost complained, as Clover got offended.
Soon enough, the 44 remaining campers were stuck inside of the store and locked out of the shelves for some reason and Chris McLean was actually near the till.
"Hello, campers, welcome to this weird, weird store chock full of random stuff, good stuff and the 22 or so campers from another universe! Dudes and ladies, you're going to like-"
Sure enough, there was another Deadpool and this time, there was a sign that Chris was hastily covering for our own homegrown Deadpool.
"-the mystery of who these guys are and why are they fighting you!" Chris shouted. "They're the Total Drama Everything cast, here to-"
"Oooh, I know what that sign says!" Deadpool guessed, as Kyo just looked interested. "Chris-"
"-They are here to fight you specifically, Deadpool, if you don't stop talking!" Chris yelled at the mercenary, taking everyone aback.
Before he composed himself.
"They are here to fight you two teams from completing that list that I've finally got and obviously, the first team to complete that list or has the more of the list finished when time's up wins immunity and an actual reward! Be careful because the ten shopping carts that you teams get will also mark your location to any of these guys!" Chris told them about the challenge. "Mostly due to the flags."
"Listen, I'm fighting these niggas!" Riley enthusiastically proclaimed. "I don't fuck around-"
"SHUT UP. Geez, you guys talk a lot...so, the shopping list should be on your team captain's watches, which are Azula and Sokka for obvious reasons! And you have 4 hours to finish this task, by the way!"
"Since when-"
"GO!"
And the doors were unlocked leading to another meeting of the Deadpools, as Chris just rolled his eyes at the display of fanboyism.
"OH SHIT!" Ultimate Deadpool saw the sign drop.
Katpool wasn't dead, as suggested by the sign.
"Oh crud, it's not TheMasterKat. It's...that subway guy, I think." Everything Deadpool said. "...You haven't betray your friends, have you?"
"I don't think so! I would never do anything like that unless I was in an alliance!" Ultimate Deadpool exclaimed. "Gonna be honest, meeting another me's always cool, especially the OG..."
"The original guy!"
"The Deadpool of all time! That being said, I'm pretty good!"
These two were immediately vibing.
"Seriously, thenewsubwayguy must be doing something stupid bringing those hundred and twenty people along, right?"
"Yeah, pretty much. He's a guy, if you couldn't tell."
"...Oh. You wanna support Katpool?"
"HELL YEAH!"
While the two Deadpools were having a good time and harassing a probably tired MasterKat...
...These three were rattling themselves down the store, Kyo and Sokka were practically thrust of responsibilities that they could easily handle, if they weren't up against unknown enemies and Lowain was there for fun.
"Hold up, this is like a horse cart except smaller and there's no horse!" Sokka looked on in surprise. "Can you believe it?"
"Yeah, I can, it needs no introduction." Kyo said. "Besides there's some crazy contestants you should look out for."
"...Why do you know this?" Sokka asked. "We could beat these guys easy!"
"Yeah, but, I know a thing or two...or four about underestimating bad guys and then getting my ass kicked four ways to Sunday!" Kyo proclaimed. "So, these two are-"
"-Fighting each other, got it." Lowain was riding on top of the cart.
"No, they're not!" Kyo shouted. "You just have to look."
"I'm looking and it looks like those two hate each other!" Sokka pointed out aggressively to Kyo, who actually looked down the aisle.
And saw an pretty interesting sight with Dante and Bayonetta (from Everything) duking it out in the middle of Aisle 9 and they definitely looked a bit younger than in this universe and a bit less powerful, which didn't mean much when they were throwing out their hottest non-gun moves in the store, including more than a few sword thrusts from Dante and Bayonetta pulling out Bat Withins.
"...Told you not to underestimate them."
"That's cap, you weren't even looking!" Lowain told Kyo.
The three of them hid behind the shopping cart.
*Everything Deadpool's confessional in the store bathroom*
He couldn't contain his excitement.
"As much as TheMasterKat's taking her time from writing and it's been 4 yours since our show's gotten the third episode, I'm still all for it. Even if Shkilah's mad and Wolverine, Cable and the rest of my cohorts wondering what the heck I'm talking about, Katpool's still real."
(As a guy, that dream's dead!)
"One time, Cyberpunk 2077 didn't come out and then it came out! I don't see what's the problem."
(Didn't it suck at launch?)
"Yeah, but I know how to handle myself! Hello, Ultimate fellas!"
*Ultmate Bayonetta's confessional*
She took one sniff of that confessional and almost vomited.
"He can, at the very least, clean up this confessional because it smelled like a bunch of angels went in and took out some pipes! Or Utah because that's a place where no angels come to." She answered, still trying to not get distracted from the smell.
*Confessional cut*
Sokka, Lowain and Kyo's very poor attempting was easily noticed by the two rivals from another season, as they were getting the glares from the TDE versions of their teammate and their rival team's underdog of sorts.
"Yo, what's good? Fine weather up in Chicago, man!" Lowain made some awkward conversation.
TDE Dante scoffed at him.
"Dude, I can tell a mile away from that Ultimate Islands thing." Dante said. "And I will do a better job of stopping you than the witch ever could!"
"Now, hold on, you shot at your teammates last time I checked and you won't stop bringing up Death Battle, last time I checked!" TDE Bayonetta piped into the conversation.
"If you'd stop saying it, then I would stop having problems!"
"Oh, it's a me problem, now?"
"YES...it is."
While that was happening, they noticed that the trio went into another aisle.
*Kyo's confessional*
"For real? Death Battle? Sounds like a messed up place to get killed. Like if Iori killed my ass for some reason and then I came back to life, I would be mad at him for sure!" He shouted. "Those two look like dumb guys, though unlike our show's versions of them, who are..."
He was deep in thought.
"...who are..."
And he was still in thought.
"...just good at competiting and don't hate each other."
*Confessional cut*
"And the challenge has just started with one only thing in their mind! How the heck are they going to get a beat-up 3DS?" Chris asked. "Well, that's for them to-"
Another Everything camper just showed up out of nowhere and this time, it was a raccoon dude with a blue and back beret, a blue jumper,
"-Oh dang it, missed another valuable. I'm pretty sure that it just went somewhere else." Sly said, as Chris was drawing a blank. "...Are you okay?"
"Yeah, dude, it's all fine!"
"Nice, so..."
Chris' nervous smile stayed on, as Sly looked at him.
"...what's my name?"
"Don't worry about it, racoon guy, I'm sure that I've got it somewhere."
"I already caught on to your schemes of hosting a challenge!" Sly proclaimed. "...Isn't that right, Cruise Chris!"
"I'm not even that guy, you'll have to ask him, dude. I'm from Ultimate Islands!" Chris insecurely shouted, as Sly already got the memo with a wink. "Okay, raccoon thief guy, just do your thing."
"For the record, the name's Sly Cooper."
And he went back up to the top of the ground floor, ready to catch another ailing contestant doing some stupid stuff, as Chris huffed at how this legendary thief just disrespected him.
Either way, there's going to be a lot more of that.
To be continued pretty soon in the second part.
If I kinda messed up the Everything characters, ask me everything...
...[laugh track]
I've crossed over with my original inspiration, the first Total Drama crossover I've read and the first Total Drama fic that my suggested characters got into.
That's really enough for me, but the crossover's far from over with three more parts to go before it's really over.
Way more importantly, how the fuck is Coachman going to do...whatever's he planning to do considering his unreliability & reputation and how is Azula readying herself for a major change-up in this game considering that a lot of the team don't really know that much about her?
Important questions like that will be shown over the rest of the episode. And also in this and three future episodes, the War House, Drama Berets, Donkey Heads and the newly created alliance will be happening with action in between challenges.
