Total Drama X: Ultimate Islands!
Episode 25: Your Average Camp
Part 1: Tent It Up
Welcome to uh, Survivor? What do you call that show other than the show Chris is jealous of and more importantly, what this challenge is all about!
It would be another classic from Total Drama Island...except thanks to all of the wild stuff surrounding this challenge (other challenges included), you know the context of why this challenge is here!
...
...
...
Enjoy the bootleg Survivor episode, which since I've seen two series of fanfiction based on it and...one episode, it should be very good!"
G-man 2.0.: As much as the very apparent spotlight on the trio that are shared in this fic is definitely a criticism, it's moreso important to the story of that episode about rivalries and how far is too far. I wouldn't like to just clog everybody from Everything (which I wasn't trying to do) in this specific crossover...even if the implementation wasn't the best.
1602jaw: I'm glad you liked the multi-parter crossover...which is only a little bit longer than a regular episode. Also, finally, the merge will come in one or two episodes depending on how Azula's feeling...I think I hined a bit too much.
Chris was back in it as usual.
"Last time on Total Drama X: Ultimate Islands, we had another crossover with yet another season and this time, we put them all into the supermarket...and there was a lot of confused people to shop with and shop against from Total Drama Everything...long story."
"With whole other universe against 'em, our 44 guys went shopping with gusto, weapons and the best shopping list to trip people up in the weirdest Walmart you've ever seen and there was a lot of fights..."
"...like, an unreal amount of fights, especially between the two Bayos and two Dantes who had serious beef each other and Sebastian, the butler would beat up Coachman badly! And a lot of destroyed stuff on that shopping list!"
"But, of course, still being a better team, the Chill Capybaras finished more of the shopping list and the Fiery Foxes literally did more to lose...for the third time! In the end, someone had to be cut and Rapunzel, Leshawna and Clover were cut...and Shego got blindsided by the Coachman guy."
"Yeah, that's over and we're back to the regular outdoors challenge...there won't be any crazy plants, crazy animals or even crazy dudes on this episode of..."
You know what, I don't want to do the intro.
"...TOTAL DRAMA: ULTIMATE ISLANDS!"
Back after the votes, there was a vote of the main dudes...and Mai for some reason, but there were indeed eight people to deal with and eight people to get each other on the same table.
Mostly due to Coachman's very apparent shenanigans with Shego and there definitely being two idols in his possessions.
"The only reason that you're still here is because strangely enough, you're fucking important to the team anyways. Just barely, since you're obviously behind messing with Shego." Dante growled, as the white-haired demon was starting to get some ideas inspired by his cockier counterpart. "...and the idols thing."
"Don't forget about the idols." Basil said. "What he really means to say is that you're both a detriment to the team sometimes and other times, you're the reason that this team wins. And we still can't vote you out."
"...So, we're stuck with you." Dante said through gritted teeth and a smile. "And you really should be the reason your team wins more often."
"Pretty much." Mai Shiranui wanted to talk, even if she had nothing to say...in her ninja uniform. "I don't care what your excuse is, you literally have blood on your head."
Coachman was just rolling his eyes at the...revealing...lady on the table...and the other two that had their fair share of issues.
"...Ah, good points all around, I really should make this team the great team that it could be thanks to you, Dante, son of Sparda and you wouldn't even know if I have those idols." He stated with a dismissive grin. "So, you didn't try to vote me out."
"I mean, I did, but-" Dante stated.
"I knew."
"Of course, you did, so be a team player or get the fuck out."
There was a crying Rock, an sleeping Iori, a very surprised Deadpool and a very unsurprised Pinstripe Potoroo, as the four of them were about to see the average demon conversation.
Dante's smile was as fake as Coachman's smile at this point, since the tension in the air became ridiculous.
"...This is getting old, you know that I've done nothing but benefit the team and if you drop me, you will lose thanks to your reputation."
"You reputation follows you like a stink-cloud and you agree on being a team player. Jackpot, you lose."
"...And you should stop being a cocky fool, but I guess that's what happened when you're key to your team."
"Fuck yeah."
And immediately, despite the words stopping and this episode's problems talked away, the air somehow got a lot more tense for no apparent reason...mostly because Iori woke up.
"...I'm glad we talked about our problems? Rock, you got a problem?" Deadpool asked, sensing the feelings. "What happened?"
"Why didn't you guys vote off someone else?." Rock was genuinely crying. "I'm a womp womp now."
"Gonna be honest, you can't convince Azula of anything, but she convinced us of her hiding stuff. Besides, you've got your boy Iori and me to rock out with!" Deadpool shouted, slowly going towards the two rockers.
And then he hugged them together, waking u
"Thanks, man, but I'm a sad rock now."
Coachman didn't care that much, Pinstripe just felt the man's pain a bit too much to hear the one-liners and Dante was trying to keep a cool face.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Iori wasn't your average guy, which prompted the fair amount of looks. "He just kinda dropped some funny as hell one-liners."
"Stop being a dick, Iori, this is older than the two old guys fighting over dumb stuff." Mai told them, as Rock just put his face down. "...I can't believe you thought, this would be productive."
"A man's gotta try to be relevant to the story." Deadpool stated. "Forget that part, I'm trying to work with my dudes."
"...These dudes should just cut this thing." Mai answered, as Dante nodded to that.
"Honestly, let's just sleep on it." Dante stated. "This is ridiculous."
"Yeah and that's why this show is kinda awesome." Deadpool said, as Pinstripe just growled. "Come on, it is."
"I feel like that Truman guy except I've been watching Truman."
"TRUE!"
And the meeting was over and uh, it was productive.
*Coachman's laughing confessional*
And he kept on doing it.
"...Well, then, I will be the best team player they have seen!"
*Pinstripe's confessional*
The bootleg weasel just shrugged.
"This team has some weird ability to make something suck midway through. I don't know wherever it is because Coachman is that evil, Deadpool is the wrong kind of crazy or because this is a show where teenagers go crazy for some money. Money for thought, guys." He explained, just as tired of the shenanigans as most of the campers were.
*Rock's confessional*
The rockstar guy was contemplative
"...Man."
He, at least, wiped his tears before this.
"...She did good in the challenge."
*Confessional cut*
...Only thanks to Shego's sudden elimination make the other team realise something obvious, since it was just people hating on each other at the time.
"Why the hell can he do that?! That's some A-grade bullshit right there!" Ryuko shouted, holding her blade out.
"Because he can...probably." Nobara said, sure of the sabotage. "His team doesn't like, so he goes and does stuff like that to avoid elimination. And it's not even working."
"That's damn right."
"Yeah, look at his team. It just doesn't make sense why he's still here...shouldn't Chris get it by now?"
Ryuko and Nobara then looked at Cassie Cage, who wasn't that interested in this show.
"This is the same guy that sent us to ridiculously dangerous challenges because we could handle it and the same guy that let Coachman get away with the Kipo incident. He's definitely a ratings guy." Cassie stated. "Which makes sense."
"...Does it, though? A guy like that can't be good for viewers." Nobara said. "...Actually, I'm just pissed about Shego getting messed up."
"AHHHHH, me too! She was kinda bad." Cassie stated. "An actual supervillain, mind you."
"I'm pretty sure that we still have one...or two." Ryuko said, calming down a bit. "At least they're on the right team."
These three mostly angry ladies were sure that they had a good cushion, since they were trying to get a sense for the room that they inhabited...which was loud on one end and less loud on the other end, which didn't help the strategy.
Guess which end was the loud one and guess what mercenary with sexy qualities was pondering about the meeting that was made a whole challenge ago.
"...What are they talking about?" Deadpool asked. "Because I'm all in on it!"
"At this point, it's like they're trying to make rival gangs and Chris is the head gang guy, so they couldn't. Point is they're talking about alliances." Pinstripe explained oddly quietly.
"Oh, then I don't have one, then." Deadpool said. "You want to talk about American Psycho?"
"No...because what do you do work?" Pinstripe asked. "What does an outta ya mind guy do for work?"
"Honestly, a lot of mercenary work with my friends, Cable, Domino...the entirety of the X-men, Wolverine especially and you know what, we save the world sometimes, other times we nearly die, so I'd like to think that my life is really good. Also, also, I like trying to get the nerve of thenewsubwayguy, he's really cool too-"
"That's enough." Pinstripe just said, as he looked interested. "You're kinda like me except a good guy."
"...Yep, I always try to get my friends good." Deadpool was relaxing on the stools and the wall. "Which I kinda forgot-"
"That's okay. Those two genuinely hate each other for good reasons, actually." Mai butted into the conversation, as these two didn't mind. "Dante the guy's alliance and Coachman's a horrible person."
Mai's contribution made for a bit of an awkward, quieter conversation, but hey, this was Deadpool.
"I kinda knew that, so no biggie." Deadpool said. "But how did you know."
"So, the ninja thing was no lie...but don't tell them." Pinstripe threatened Mai slightly, who nodded to that. "Good."
Pinstripe and Deadpool had a bit of a curious look to them, as Mai anticipated whatever question was put down and then there was a bit of a curveball coming from her fellow KOF contestant.
"Heheheheh." Iori knew the future sort of.
"So, how's your boyfriend?" Deadpool asked.
Mai looked offended, as Iori just laughed.
*Mai's confessional*
She was plain mad.
"So, you're telling me that people didn't vote Iori off for some reason! What did Azula have on him and more importantly, the heck kind of alliance do they have?" Mai shouted. "Me and Andy are gonna get married someday!"
She practically huffed.
*Confessional cut*
As for Dante, Coachman and Azula, it was bizarre for Sokka to see that the 15-year old tyrannical Firebender to be the one mediating against two much older people...and that was if he didn't have a can of cream on his head.
"Muscle Man or Mitch! These three should be in an alliance together and they're definitely not...which is weird." Sokka said, seeing that Azula was wielding her fire. "I'm just hoping she loses."
"Bro, same! You know who else doesn't like her-" Muscle Man shouted.
"-Your mom?" Sokka sniggered right before that. "Dude, it gets old."
"Bro, what is your problem?"
"You kinda have the same joke. I like creative people."
Muscle Man was tired of the swordsteen's bravado about jokes, as he just grumbled about him being a "boomerang man" and and Sokka just smirked at his very questionable comeback towards Mitch.
Long story short, Azula was starting to get angry and when she gets angry, she makes some good decisions for herself only, as Dante and Coachman got their fair share of charred skin.
"Don't stop the discussion too soon, I was just getting started on the talk. I was about to insult his grandma...or something." Dante boasted, as Coachman looked displeased from a distance.
"Really?" Azula asked. "That's a not a discussion, that's the start of warfare, the likes of which will sink this team...again...and again...and again. You two should know."
"And he has contributed to it." Dante said. "Meanwhile, I've been kicking ass since forever ago and he does that only sometimes!"
"That is true. You always try to instigate him, though, which is not a good team player move and for someone who understands what he is doing. And like anyone, you could be eliminated with one swift move considering what your votes were."
Dante was taken aback by the Azula's strong words, as Uraraka, Mystique Sonia and Squirrel Girl was genuinely spooked by the even-tempered tone...besides the hero-in-training.
"Can we agree that Dante may be mean to him, but he's only mean to him." Uraraka said. "Also, I'm starting to think that you're a villain."
"I'm not interested in the discussion." Azula casually stated.
"...I wasn't even talking, I just wanted to know."
The other players did notice three things, Pinstripe included.
*Squirrel Girl's confessional*
The squirrel-getting superhero was looking really interested.
"This team could actually win a lot if we just get our shit together a little bit more because a good chunk of the team has broken abilities up the butt, while the other team is mostly strong sword guys, strong fighters and maybe a few guys with martial arts for real." She said. "No offense to them, because I'd rather be on that team."
*Confessional cut*
Mikasa was sitting on the beach with Crimson, who was trying to up her own game with motivation and her goth gusto, even being lonely at the moment...which also reflected in Mikasa.
"Like, it's crazy that you've never seen the beach in 17 years, but this beach is ain't it." Crimson told Mikasa. "It's the bad kind of ugly."
"It definitely is." Mikasa stated. "But this is the best place that I've been to because I doesn't have Titans."
"..Sure...like giants?" Crimson said in a monotone manner. "Like, real giants?"
"Yeah, pretty much."
Crimson may have looked not that interested, but she was shocked inside, as Mikasa just shed a tear seemingly out of nowhere.
"Oh shit."
"Oh shit indeed, but that's how life runs on my world."
These two were somehow appreciating the deer skull that just washed up on shore, since it just happened.
"We share, like, the darkness we've got inside, so that's-" Crimson took the skull into her hand.
And just like that, there was an incredible amount of unease in the air, as the third person that was missing from the cafeteria showed up and looked them with insincere intentions.
"Hello, ladies, nice to have a beach day in here." Coachman said. "A good day to have a fair competition, really."
"Uh, get out of here. A deer skull washed up and we're talking about it." Crimson said through gritted teeth. "Get lost."
"...What the fuck are you talking about?" Mikasa asked, as Coachman was thinking about it. "You are half the reason our team sucks right now."
"Well, then, I plan on turning that around as of right now...you ever heard of an alliance? You ladies may not be realising how perilous our team's position is." Coachman explained in a strangely dupilicitous manner. "Sure, I've got problems on my end, but with you two and Pinstripe in this alliance of mine, you'll have the chance to get to the final eight or something. And I'll guarantee you will get some money."
Crimson and Mikasa were still very much pissed at him for hopefully obvious reasons and a deal that suspicious...
"No way." Crimson stated. "Frauds happen that way."
"And you're making stuff up on the spot, which would be awesome in whatever stupid challenge we have, but it's not happening here." Mikasa answered.
"...Actually, I could eliminate you. Right here, right now and you would not stand a chance since I do have a lot under my belt." Coachman casually stated with a honest smile. "How do you think I'm here?"
"Shenanigans." Crimson made her intent clear.
"Pretty much." Coachman shrugged. "So, do you want to lose with me or get a guaranteed bonus."
Crimson and Mikasa in the end, understood why people didn't fuck with him.
"Fine, but I don't want to be around you. Ennui would kill you with a stare, so like, get real."
"Oh..."
Coachman put up the finest glare.
"...I am getting real."
With all of that being said, it wasn't like there was two very important ladies that were in the middle of doing some bootleg espionage AKA enjoying the beach and giving the odd glance towards the trio.
"Wow, food's so bad, we're going alliance watching? Good call, actually." Squirrel Girl said.
"There's no Wolverine, so you're the next best thing." Deadpool whispered. "Subwayguy, you're gonna need this."
*Deadpool's confessional*
"HEY YOU!"
(What, dude?)
"YEAH, YOU!"
(okay lmao.)
"I'M ABOUT TO DO WHAT NO OTHER DEADPOOL DOES...FOR HIS FRIENDS! Seriously, you probably should have put in more of the previous chapters, I would've been all like 'Cable, I'm sorry' in that bitch."
(Bruh, my writing was a bit worse back then, chill.)
*Confessional cut*
In better news, we finally focused on the surprisingly "air-tight" Chill Capybaras, who were actually doing better stuff with Ryuko trying to cull her anger, Tanjiro's spark being lit, Samurai Jack cutting with confidence, Nicole being stuck in Resident Evil, Scott being the fourth wheel swordwielder.
And then there was Kyo Kusanagi, who had one problem.
*Kyo's confessional*
The guy was mad.
"I'm pretty sure Iori's alliance is some badass mofos waiting for the chance to pounce like a dumb tiger and my alliance has one sad guy, one mad guy and a few guys high off their win. I'm not saying because my alliance lost two members in one go..."
Kyo was pretty much in denial.
"...which is total ass, but my alliance is gonna be sick as hell. Probably, even the sickest."
*Confessional cut*
He was definitely sitting in the right place to witness a meeting of the swords, as there was a lot of wood that was just left over and a lot of them to be cut...and so far, Scott Pilgrim...
"That was just a starter cut!"
...was having a hard problem with it.
"I don't think it was, but this is not about who has the hardest cut." Samurai Jack said. "This is about swordsmanship and raising team spirits."
"Look, I've got plenty of team spirit, samurai guy!"
For some reason, the ginger Canadian didn't care that much, as he made his next swing and it finally cut the piece of wood.
"That's not what it means, though! He's talking about moods or something..." Tanjiro tried to explain. "...just because we win together doesn't mean we're the best team ever!"
"I know, but we're still winning." Scott Pilgrim remarked with an angry face. "And those guys on the other team could beat me up."
"Then do not be scared of them."
"Cool, but I'm not."
Ryuko was definitely steaming for some reason, as she was cutting log after log and even doing a whole lot more than that thanks to the raw effort to shake the ground her own Scissor Blade...which everyone felt.
"What...why are you so mad at this time, though?" Nicole asked. "Aside from Shego's well-earned elimination."
"Because of that...and other stuff...and the other stuff that Coachman did, okay! Sure, our team's fine, but the other guys aren't good."
"..Let's just worry about whatever challenge Chris has cooked up."
"It's probably some bullshit-"
"Remaining campers, meet me on the beach for your next awesome challenge! For the record, it isn't some BS!"
Ryuko just growled, as Nicole just looked at her seriously.
*Nicole's confessional*
"I don't know who her mom is and I know that her dad essentially got killed, but I hope whoever she has at home helps her to not be super angry and just be swinging her sword at anyone and anything...mostly thanks to Coachman."
A flash of anger went on her face.
"...How is he able to do that and still lose so many times!"
*Samurai Jack's confessional*
He sighed.
"This team is a good one, but I can sense that this challenge is going to test everybody in here and I would like that. If there's no random twist, but purely a test of skills."
*Ryuko's confessional*
She was tired of being mad, which was still being mad.
"I don't know why, but I don't think it is just some bullshit. It's definitely worse than that since Chris hates us." Ryuko said. "At least our team's solid."
*Confessional cut*
All forty of them were and some were less excited for the challenge than others for one notable reason, since they were the same kayaks that carried people to and from Boney Island, even down to the damage.
"Alright, who's ready to get back to the very outdoors that have the weirdest set of animals, plants and the place where you guys got your bowls!"
"ME!" Pit and Deadpool shouted.
"Good because you're going to be camping on that island for two whole days! That's right, campers, there's another challenge on Boney Island and dudes, calm down...it's not nearly as dangerous as in the bowl challenge."
The uproar wasn't really stopping any time soon, as the word "Boney Island" brought back some weird memories for some of the contestants and other contestants that weren't Pit, Deadpool, Miko, Bayo and Dante didn't care for another dangerous island.
"So, we could die more than usual...what's the difference?" Tails asked.
"You guys are gonna get some survival experience and also make some great TV...come on, what's not to love! Especially since the merge is in two or three challenges, so you should really get skills up, dudes!"
There was a lot of whispering around the general area of the docks, as why else would he say.
*Miko's confessional*
She was in a boasty mood.
"Okay, so the merge is definitely coming and this time, I have a boyfriend and he is very cool and normal, take that Mitch Williams and some other people!" Miko shouted. "Even if he is an angel."
*Pit's confessional*
"Man, the merge isn't that far away and yet, it seems like it is really far away...actually, I don't know how I'm gonna get there, but I know that I'm going to get there!" He exclaimed with confidence. "This is my first time having a girlfriend with my epic bow-sword combo!"
*Confessional cut*
The host was smiling about the anticipation of fights between teammates.
"I could learn a bit more about the outdoors and the rancid things on that island." Bayonetta easily stated.
"Cool, but be careful you don't trip up on your words, babe." Dante remarked.
"...Watch your mouth."
"Hey, I said what I said for a reason."
Chris finally got that thing full prepared and what was that thing?
"Don't pick up anything from Boney Island, the stuff there acts strange in terrible ways! Anyways, GO, GO, GO!" Chris said through a megaphone that only served to get some people tinnitus. "By the way, the campsites are in the middle of the island!"
"The hell do you mean the middle?" Catalina asked.
"He said what he said, nothing to it." Cassie said.
In the middle of that kayak trip, some people decided to say some wild shit and those people were predictable in the middle of something.
"Ayo, I know that some of us aren't playing to win games, I just wanted to say that shit on record!" Riley shouted. "Now that we're on the same level, fuck Chris."
"I agree with hating on Chris, but where is that coming from? We're kicking their asses...easy." Cassie replied, being right next to him.
"I'm just this team ain't united and y'all about to do some backstabs like that." Riley said.
"Shut the fuck up please..." Catalina whispered to the kid.
"Nah, Catalina, I need to say what needs to be said!"
Cassie just rolled her eyes, as Heavy and Kyo was genuinely starting to pay some attention.
*Riley's confessional*
The gangsta 9-year old was excited.
"I've seen a lot of things go crazy in Woodcrest and it's not like shit like Shego's elimination is anything different...but I don't see her burning down the voting place on her own. I'm just saying, my alliance and the team is being fucked around with!" Riley exclaimed.
*Confessional cut*
The Capybaras' boat riders were seeing the classic fog that dropped down on them suddenly that distracted from the stuff that Riley brought up, as Catalina looked at it.
"How the fuck is it so foggy?" Catalina asked.
"Trust me, it's probably impossible to know. But we've got this challenge in the bag with..."
Kyo wanted to finish that sentence, but the Foxes finally got their things together and all rowed with notable effort to make their way to the island.
Catalina just scoffed.
"...these guys probably screwing up. How did they not vote off that guy?"
"Same thing here, he seems like one of those assholes!"
They agreed on one thing, that these Foxes weren't going to last forever.
...
...
The Fiery Foxes were actually the first ones to reach the shore of Boney Island, as the remaining campers weren't wasting any time of finding a bunch of stuff on the shore of the island...
...ridiculously quickly, since the most sensible campers were digging for a map with passion and Mystique Sonia wasn't actually one of them with her tongue fan thing.
It blew the sand away and also blew a few minds, as the hat-wearing hero wiped her tongue off to see-
"-Not that much! Some guy just left a compass!" She shouted. "Which is good enough for my tongue."
"I don't even want to say anything...but that is some tongue!" Deadpool exclaimed, as Sonia was a bit put off.
"Thank...you?"
"You're welcome."
*Confessional cut*
...with a compass on lock and the Capybaras getting a-
"We got the map! This challenge is gonna be easy, niggas!" Riley shouted.
"...Do-" Nicole now knew better. "-you know what, we have a map and that's good enough."
This challenge was about to be interesting.
To be continued in the second part, where camping goes crazy, goes stupid and goes a little bit wild in Boney Island for obvious reasons and honestly, I'm kinda expecting some things to be different.
Especially for certain people like Ryuko and Riley Freeman in the business.
