Total Drama X: Ultimate Islands!
Episode 26: Count The Dares
Part 4: Daring To Be Eliminated
Six eliminations, a few notable ones and the votes to make the notable eliminations more than one, especially with the on-edge situation with the previous few dares...in spite of one team's win, also MERGE AFTER THIS CHAPTER, LET'S GO!
Fiery Foxes: 27 dares.
FIRST STRIKES (FF): Rock, Mai Shiranui, Basil and Crimson
SECOND STRIKE (FF): Coachman & Mystique Sonia
Chill Capybaras: 22 dares.
FIRST STRIKES (CC): Tanya Degurechaff, Samus Aran, Scott Pilgrim, Kyo Kusanagi, Samurai Jack, Muscle Man and Reg
1602jaw: Yeah, that was one of those chapters where the action gets happening...also, glad you agree
Memeking: These guys know that their butts are grass if they get too comfortable or too stuck in their comfort zone and plus, even the weaker contestants (like Coachman and Basil, hilariously enough) can survive some ridiculous stuff! And that endurance will eventually wear down here.
MidnightSavvy: I'm glad you're looking forward to reading these 600k words and some chapters are worse than others, but I hope you enjoy it anyways! (Please don't read the rest of this chapter, tho.)
Mystique Sonia was just getting her hat cleaned up, as Uraraka, Mai and Squirrel Girl were genuinely worried about her chance in the game, the hero herself not that displeased.
"Yaksha, I swear you're going to get treated well!"
The pink spiky hat made some pleased noises.
"Don't worry about it...at least you're going home with him potentially!" Yumeko commented.
"...Do I look like I want to?"
Yumeko agreed to that, as the four ladies were planning something.
"Yeah, that would be hellish especially in his current state."
"We're definitely going to win this thing...but I'd also like to not be eliminated and plus I'm pretty sure that Deadpool's going to do something." Mystique Sonia answered. "To make himself lose."
"Yeah, somehow he'll figure that out...somehow." Mai answered, as she looked suspicious at Deadpool.
While these four were having their mostly hidden discussions, a certain sexy man was shaking in his own spandex suit at the realisation that Mai knew something and that also...
...He and Pinstripe were trying to keep the peace in here, as Chris just "coughed" very loudly.
"Come on, enough already, someone please get eliminated by these awesome dares! I'm being serious, guys!" Chris shouted in annoyance. "Okay, since certain people haven't done a dare in a while, Rock gets up!"
"Good luck to us Foxes! Badadababow!"
Rock may have done a mock guitar solo, but he wasn't on the hardest part yet, as Riley Freeman finally got his dare up on the board.
"Okay, what crazy thing do I have to do to win?" Rock had a smile in his face.
...
...
...
Wait...
...
...
Rock was immediately greeted by some black man with big hair with ludicruously big spaceballs, more than two chains and looked like he didn't mind Obama with the white wifebeater and jeans.
"Can you write a bar, nigga? It ain't that hard, all you have to do is do that, nigga!"
"Don't worry...Thugnificent, writing a good line takes some time!" Rock shouted, writing his best line. "Man, this line is going to have you saying...something."
"Nah, I understand this show's crazy...not in a good way as well."
He read the line...looked at the scoreboard and looked real surprised, as Rock just nodded with a smile.
"Is it good?"
"Bruh, if I said it, that guy would be on your ass right now...shit, it could be way worse, though."
...
Rock walked back in with a point and Deadpool was looking to do the same, in spite of his fourth-wall breaking abilities technically being found out by one person, as he strolled in to see...
...Harley Quinn grinning.
"Yo, Marvel's got the best shows, the best movies...and the best superhero in the world, me...along with ones that are better than you!" Deadpool had to brag, practically doing an ad.
"...Do you even have a license to do shit like that?" Harley could see the ad from a mile away.
"No way, but anyways!"
Deadpool immediately got a beat down from Harley, the jokes stopping and the pain already multipiled from the skydive without a parachute, but he.
Just.
Kept.
On.
Sitting.
There.
"Look, I think you're good for a point, those two are trying to cut me off from going all the way-" Harley stated, as Chef just waving at them for obvious reasons.
"-Nah, I can heal it in no time!"
"...My bat also broke-" Harley said.
"I knew."
Deadpool then got stomped.
...
"And that's how those Fiery Foxes have 29 points to the Capybaras' 22, who's going to be raised up by some fellas in the wings!"
"I'm a fella, but I don't have wings!" Kyo boasted. "Hahaha, who wants some, now."
Deadpool was still beat up to all hell, but that's not really important.
...
What mattered was that Kyo needed to break a window with one strike, courtesy of Lynn Loud and her own suspersition and he didn't really care, as he had a flaming hand and a smirk.
And a window that got broken through, the glass splashing out onto the stage and his hand not feeling great.
"Seriously, though, I'm trying my best." Kyo just groaned out.
...
Heavy was back in business, putting a ton of meat in between his own hands and crushing into a good shape for the mincers to use, as the points for him were to smash it into shape and then throw it as far as he could into a bin.
"Put the meat into the bag!" Joseph declared.
"...Oh, the meat is in there!"
Heavy kinda realised the innuendo a bit too late because he threw it with ferocity and the wanting of his gun back.
"Heavy's got a point and yeah, the meat's secured."
"Hahaha, it is!"
...
Mai Shiranui had to do something kinda crazy, which was basically to handstand for at least 30 seconds and she definitely did just that, but the real problem was...
...you know, her things were hanging out upside down and her butt was also hanging down in there.
And when the time was up and someone whistled to signify that, mostly Chris.
"Okay, the Fiery Foxes have 30 and honestly, Mai's giving a little performance for everyone out there!"
Chris managed to duck a fan from Mai Shiranui, who ninja'd her way into there.
...
"Hahaha, please tell me I didn't get cursed!"
Mystique Sonia shouted that, as she had to deal with...
...Joseph's dare, which was to dump sewage on the head, with some random intern lifting a whole vat of...sewage stuff that had a smelled that stunned the most steadfast of contestants.
"Okay, you have to let yourself get dumped with this poisonous sewage!" Chris announced, as Chef chuckled. "Look, you can back out and get eliminated or take it and get treated!"
"Uh, what do you mean treated?" Mystique Sonia asked.
"He means whatever disease you're gonna get at the end of this." Chef answered, as Mystique Sonia genuinely feared for her life.
Uraraka, Mai, Yumeko and Squirrel Girl definitely feared for her life too.
Azula looked interested for obvious reasons.
*Azula's confessional*
She sighed.
"There goes another one of my competition and honestly, she would be a strong player once the post-merge hits, whatever that means." She said. "But this does mean that this thing is slightly easier...slightly."
*Confessional cut*
Mystique Sonia smelt it and immediately her eyes watered, she cringed up and Yaksha was one of them, the hat protecting her.
And a drop burned her dress, as she saw it burn her leg too, taking in the pain.
"Look, I can't even do that! I don't care if I get eliminated, look at what it just did!" Mystique Sonia shouted. "Sorry, guys, I can't do this and I'm pretty sure-"
"FINALLY, Mystique Sonia's out and man...you'd be toast...but you'd still be in!" Chris announced, as the whole team groaned and the ladies just cried, 'sides Yumeko who just 'hmphed' at her. "And also, the Fiery Foxes are still winning."
"I'm glad that I did that, but whatever that sewage is...it could kill."
Mystique Sonia was stuck in the gallows, as she was out of both the challenge and the game, as her teammate waved at her.
"So, that's why it's a throwback to Say Uncle!" Pit shouted. "That's messed up, Chris."
"Dude, people like the fact that this challenge's messed up, so don't worry about it!" Chris angrily shouted. "Anyways, let's just get back into it!"
"Guys, just win this one for me...and also, for him becuase he needs it." Mystique Sonia could definitely point to Coachman, being sincere in her words. "I'm being serious, he's not likely to win."
"Yeah, real fucking team spirit there. Anyways, wish me luck, guys." Iori jumped in.
...
Iori Yagami stepped right in there where Mystique Sonia genuinely left off, as he wasn't scared at all and then he got dumped in the thing, practically writhing around in some kind of pain, even if the eyes were completely fine.
He even got reduced to rolling around to get off the sewage and it was genuinely doing some weird things to the stage floor, but he was fine and along with the stage floor was fine.
"Oh man, Iori, I wish that was not you!" Kyo cringed.
"And the Foxes have 31 now!"
*Samurai Jack's confessional*
He looked towards the side
*Confessional cut*
...
Tails quite literally got sent towards the second dare, as Tanya definitely didn't want to do this specific dare and it was very good and this time around, he had to do it perfectly.
"Okay, so, I just have to balance these rocks all in a row?"
"In 30 seconds, yeah!"
Tails was panicking because none of the rocks even looked somewhat stackable and he had no plan, but he had two tails...
...even for a fox genius, he only managed to stack three of the rocks by the time the clock was up.
"Oh no..."
...
Tails was followed up by Joseph casually carrying out the next dare, which was to down a whole bottle of champagne and immediately, things got hilarious on his end.
"You think you can just casually skip out on a challenge?" Joseph shouted at him. "No way, you're going to kick some ass."
"...I did." Tails answered nervously, seeing some obvious problems.
...
Reg wasn't down and out, as the robot kid was just casually carrying some very hot stuff and sure it was causing him pain and Tails was grimacing at his hands feeling all of the heat.
But he wasn't doing that bad for carrying it for 30 more seconds and-
"Reg, you got a point."
Also, Sol Badguy gave that one.
...
Coachman almost had no chance to lose in spite of Mystique Sonia's sudden exit...but that was not what he thought because he had a good idea at how fucked he was when Jack Horner, without any prompt, warning or even Chef's approval hopped onto stage and called him out.
"Gonna be honest, I've been waiting a long while for this! No, Chef, he's not gonna kill Coachman!" Chris declared with glee, as Chef was confused. "Also, believe it or not, this was one of Tendo's dares."
"Yeah, I believe you." Chef flatly replied, not into Chris' bullshit.
For the record, it's only because they are kinda similar...the best kind of similar, as Coachman had to ask something.
"Huh, I thought I was going to see you in the next...of whatever...this ridiculous thing is." He didn't even care to call his name.
"Yeah, Big Jack Horner's going to try to make you lose big!" Jack Horner shouted. "...Look, I care about the gold, so give me it?"
"...Eh, you could if you tried."
The weird combination of the nonchalance of Coachman and Jack Horner's generally comedic nature really meant that the dare was being put off, as there was a odd smell coming from a pie that was being cooked and it has become really obvious.
"All you have to do is eat this pie!"
"Yeah, thanks, Chris, I was going to say that." Jack stated, as Coachman...looked at the pie. "...But there might be something wrong with it."
"Well, I wouldn't be surprised."
And he ate the pie.
He ate some more pie.
Some more plum pie.
And yet more pie.
"Big" Jack Horner, Chef Hatchet and Chris were genuinely surprised to see that the whole pie was done and he was pleased.
"I am surprised, there's really nothing wrong with that...must be some weak poison, huh?" Coachman shrugged. "Wait, you must be the Little Jack Horner-"
"BIG JACK!"
Dante and Azula were both pissed and his teammates were...pleased?
Moreso content really.
"Bro, how the hell did he do that?" Muscle Man asked.
"Why are you even asking that question...it's really obvious." Tails answered.
"Anyways, bro, you've gotta beat that guy with your own dare."
"I got my first strike a minute ago!"
"I'm being serious, wherever you're eliminated or not, I'm going to focus on the competition, Tails...I'm kinda used to do surviving alone and plus, I've got a strategy!" Reg basically reassured the two-tailed fox. "And also, you're strong enough to not get eliminated!"
"...Yeah, you're right! This challenge isn't going to be my end..."
Tails had a nervous smile up on realising his dare.
He had to fight Ryu, who was definitely in a mood for a fight, practically his default state.
"Let's do this!"
Tails was genuinely smashed by Ryu's Shoryuken since he just flew over the martial artist and Ryu was really feeling his strength.
...
Tails just looked a little worse for wear, as Ryu was genuinely feeling his pain.
*Muscle Man's confessional*
The green-skinned man.
"Oh fucking no, bro, he's going to be eliminated! I mean it's good, but the dude's getting embarrassed out there...and I haven't got a strike!" He declared.
*Confessional cut*
"You know who got beat up and still got back up?" Muscle Man asked.
Tails, Reg and Nobara was anticipating the answer.
"MY MOM! You gotta be like her, bro!"
"...What?" Tails weakly asked.
"What he's saying is that, you should be kicking ass instead of getting your ass kicked basically." Kyo remarked. "So, go out there and kick ass!"
"That I can agree on!" Tails' smile was still intact.
...
Basil of Baker Street had to lift a pile of bricks, courtesy of Piccolo, sure he couldn't really do that all that well, but he just had to do it and he definitely did it...somehow.
His arms genuinely hated him for it, but it did count and his screams suggested that this came out of nowhere, because...
...his arms were moving awkwardly.
"I hate this competition." He stated.
"Well, me too." Rock whispered. "Hurts bad, man."
Iori scoffed.
...
Terry Bogard just had to scoff down a long subway sandwich, courtesy of Owen, and honestly he had a pretty fun time in contrast to the mostly miserable set of contestants.
He definitely was talking in between bites.
"Seriously, I get a really big sandwich and half of my team gets tortured...man, you're not okay in the head, Chris." Terry remarked, before chowing down on another bite.
"It is true." Samus added, even though she wasn't injured.
"Look, I have enough people already telling me that as an insult. Also, this challenge is awesome!"
Samus and Terry just shrugged, as he wiped himself and cleaned himself up after the sandwich.
"Wait...shouldn't there be another one?"
"Nah...don't have one for some reason!"
Chef got a suspicious look, while Terry threw his hat.
"We're one step closer to...winning, hopefully!" Terry proclaimed.
...
*Squirrel Girl's confessional*
She was pissed.
"I wish we had that attitude because it's miserable on our team and we're winning! We should be eating good, eating nuts, flipping tables, all of that awesome stuff...but it's just a team divided into teams of teams and they all feel weird for some reason."
*Confessional cut*
Dante, Deadpool and Azula were giving looks towards Pinstripe and Coachman.
Basil and Rock were not liking this, but at this point, they couldn't care less and Iori was pleased.
The ladies were actually all united minus the previously mentioned Azula.
And that...had nothing to do with Tails' fourth dare of the day, given to him by Tanya Degurechaff, who had a very specific purpose with the usage of this dare.
*Tanya's confessional*
She didn't really have a smile, moreso a stone face.
"Being a child soldier means that you learn along the way who's worthy of being on the team and who's worthy of being cut...and since everyone is enemies from now on, me and two others basically helped Tails to his elimination! It almost feels bad that I sent him home."
*Confessional cut*
The two-tailed fox had to deal with.
Owen's bellybutton "enhanced" jelly.
"Okay, just imagine it as normal jelly, that doesn't have odour, stink or Owen's signature random stuff, this shouldn't be hard!" Tails declared. "Please."
"Nah, dude, it's too rank." Chris announced. "But I'm not eating it!"
Tails just scooped up the jelly and it was this greenish-black colour, as he took one bite of it, tasted it and swallowed it.
It landed in his stomach.
"Tails, don't be scared, it's not that scary!" Reg shouted. "Uh...kick the jelly's butt."
He slowly ate...and then it happened.
Like clockwork, he vomited out the jelly and his better breakfast, as he was left with an mostly empty stomach by the end of the vomit and Chef also barfed out.
"Sorry, Reg, I couldn't do it." Tails answered. "Do I have three strikes?"
"Yes, you do! But there needs to be one more before this challenge is over!" Chris announced, making sure that everyone heard it and that Tails certanly did.
*Tails' confessional*
His mouth was still barf covered.
"Wow, three dares and I'm actually out of the game...what did I do?" Tails asked. "Apart from being a threat in the Survvior sense, what did I really do...yeah, I know I got set up by Tanya, but that's moreso the type of thing you would here. Besides...I made it to Episode 26, Sonic, which you're just going to have to deal with."
*Confessional cut*
"Tails, I'm going to finish it for you because we need some points!" Terry said. "No hard feelings to you."
"I feel the same way...but I'm going to miss him most of all." Tails pointed to Reg, who was trying to hold back some tears.
"Aw, that's cute...and I'm gonna avenge you!"
"...Thanks!"
Terry Bogard didn't stop for anything, as he choked down the jelly and subsequently made the giant sandwich a bit worse, but he could not be stopped.
The jelly was finished when Terry slammed it down.
The whole team cheered.
"OKAY!"
...
Dante had one more spin on him (which was a lie, because he could do a hundred dares and still be alive...pissed off, but very alive.) and this time, he only had one thing to do.
Because the team wasn't really in the mood for more Coachman, said man would be terrible to live with past the merge and this time, a lot of people didn't like him.
"Easy peasy, all whoever wants this dare has to do is..."
Dante wanted Chris to finish that sentence.
"...B has a mean one, Dante! You sure you don't want to do...stacking a bunch of totems in elimination order for your team?" Chris asked.
"No way...I think Coachman's got a great mind for that kind of stuff!"
Dante smiled like he never smiled before, as Coachman swiftly made his shrug known.
"Come on, you've got the mind to..."
"Your original team! Like, Rhino dudes or whatever."
Dante just laughed, as Azula glared at him and half the team just looked at him.
*Azula's confessional*
The black-haired Firebender just made a silent chuckle.
"Believe it or not, I know most of the members who left, but there has been at least twenty people that have been eliminated on different teams...I doubt that he would remember."
*Confessional cut*
In hilarious fashion, "Big" Jack Horner was just there, as Coachman just ordered the heck out of the set of eliminated contestants and he...realised something very obvious with some of the statues, as he just kept on figuring out that he wasn't supposed to stack all of them.
Also, there was very hot water that spilled after a wrong answer and also, elimination, but he clearly was thinking about that, as the order was wrong.
He definitely knew where some of them and some of them weren't, but that wasn't exact order of original team, some of them even being swapped around twice.
"...I should know this...I think I eliminated some of them."
"...Yeah, no shit, bro." Muscle Man quietly remarked.
No-one's going to ask how he's going to do it in a minute because a minute is 60 seconds and 60 seconds is no time and an untold 60 seconds means that someone's wish is finally coming true...and someone also got tinnitus.
"Well, congratulations, Dante, you got what you wanted and honestly, maybe it is because my game is weak and more importantly, is that you're a traitor and a jackass of a demon." Coachman almost calmly explained. "Also, you made your alliance with me all those episodes ago because your game wasn't strong enough."
"Uh, that was...twenty challenges ago and also, you're not the one-"
"Okay, the challenge isn't over..."
Dante was still standing up, while Coachman stood up, as Chris-
"...okay, now the challenge is over and while those Fiery Foxes may have had two eliminations, they get a straight shot to the merge!" Chris announced. "Coachman, dude, you didn't even make it there and plus, I'm pretty sure that the ratings find that you suck."
Chris just tried to block off Deadpool.
"He means reader numbers...and it's twenty-two episodes ago, Dante...but, uh, you're going to have to explain." Deadpool explained, as Chris walked away.
"Chill Capybaras, you only get to vote off three different people instead."
Deadpool stood still. "What about-"
"No spoilers, Deadpool, or else I'm going to make it two and you're going with Coachman! And also, the Foxes can also vote for these Capybaras!"
"Yeah, no merge returns at all."
Dante just huffed at him, as Coachman just shrugged right back with that act of treachery.
*Mystique Sonia's confessional with a pillock*
The hero wasn't pleased with her situation, but Yaksha was there to support her.
"Holy shoes, Dante was part of the evil alliance for...that time when Pepper Ann got eliminated or something. I'm starting to think that he might be a bad guy." Mystique Sonia shrugged. "Or that he got played because that Coachman's an evil smart guy."
*Confessional cut*
'
Back in the cafeteria, things were very not fine...for one team in particular.
"I'm being serious, I joined it in the third challenge and after ten challenges later, after I realised that he kinda scares the shit of some kid, I left because I realised he was a bad guy." Dante explained like a champ. "Sooo...what's up?"
"What made you think that he was even remotely a good guy, man?" Rock asked. "He...uh...always seemed like a creepy guy."
"It was Episode 4, Rock, you never know how guys turn out. Fuck that guy."
"What kind of guy essentially robs people of their point?" Rock asked. "...A robber, wait, he doesn't even seem that...that's heavy."
"To be fair, he was a ass. Maybe it's the merge getting to everyone."
"I'm extremely sure that it is what it is." Iori made a random coment, as Rock and Dante just looked at him differently. "Anyways, I think Kyo's going to be eliminated."
"Dude looks like a rockstar, so I doubt it." Rock shrugged, as Dante and Iori gave an incredulous look.
Somehow that arguement wasn't the most odd conversation, strangely enough it was the original very odd fighting duo of Coachman and Basil, who were fighting for personality sake.
"My strategy is air-tight...when I hade it anyways and honestly, you would never appreciate it!" Coachman boasted. "Plus there is money to be made in everything."
"...That is stupid, so I'll leave."
"GOOD POINT!"
Unsurprisingly, we have better things to talk about...like who's getting eliminated this week, as aside from maybe some obvious target like Kyo, who the heck knows who else is going to be eliminated?
Deadpool's just talking about random stuff and like usual, no-one knew what meme of the day he was talking about, but the majority of the former Foxes were having a good time not realising that stuff was craziness.
*Deadpool's confessional*
"You know what I think is the reaction to that?"
He then looked slightly upwards to his right, giving a slightly displeased face of completely calmness.
"Anyways, I'm gonna team up with Dante, Pinstripe and Muscle Man and make the best bro-band of all time on Total Drama...which there hasn't been many! I'm gonna be original!"
*Confessional cut*
Kyo was getting a bunch of weird looks.
"I don't get what's going on?" Kyo asked. "What's with the weird looks, I'm pulling my butt into winning mode!"
"But we didn't even win!" Ryuko shouted. "Your ass is grass either way, if you don't pull out some incredible argument!"
"I'm the coolest and I handle fire like a champ." Kyo stated, as Tails wondered...
...he only said the facts, but he did say something stupid.
"Holy shit, no-one cares!" Ryuko was tired.
"Guys, guys, we shouldn't succumb to our emotions...Kyo sucked in this challenge, too." Samus answered. "He got a strike and he's not been the hottest teammate."
Ryuko was spiced up from losing the challenge and that couldn't even compare to Nicole, who was steaming with hidden intent and sabotaging energy.
Which was why she was silent.
*Nicole's confessional*
Her pure frustration came out.
"I can't believe this, we lost again and at this point, there are really easy target that don't deserve to be eliminated...but essentially have to be in a Survivor season or this. Oh no, I bet mom's smiling at me right now!"
*Confessional cut*
For the record, they were still disappointed...but her mom and dad felt something different, anyways...
...The samurai felt that something was going to drop on him, even having that one strike on him, as Tanjiro and Scott was just watching him take his own last meal, aware of the weight of his loss.
"Look, Jack, you're still very kickass and plus, no-one's going to be gunning for you!" Scott Pilgrim shouted. "Seriously, you're unstoppable for this team."
"Yeah, your honour's second to none and uh, aside from the Sephiroth thing, you're the coolest man who wields a sword that I've met." Tanjiro added quite loudly and awkwardly.
"Thank you...but I sense a lot of votes coming my way."
The other two swordies felt the odd aminosity coming from Nicole and a few others, as the strategy was being talked.
...
Other people were actually talking some strategy.
"So, we're gonna vote Samurai Jack because he's mad broken. Do you wanna do that?" Squirrel Girl asked, coming in with Pit.
"Uh, no, he's the coolest samurai I've seen in real life..."
Squirrel Girl and Pit watched Miko having a mini-panic attack.
"...which the first samurai I've seen...ever!"
"Then who are you going to vote for?" Pit asked. "Maybe, the evil kid, maybe the mean weasel guy or maybe, Samus who scares me for some reason?"
"...Yeah, Samus. She's a super badass and I kinda don't want to vote for my team and honestly, she looks like a ripoff." Miko answered. "Plus she's a real strategy player."
Squirrel Girl and Pit saw that Samus was just looking angrily out of the window and wondered...is she a shooty bang bang woman or a real bounty hunting lady.
*Samus' confessional*
The blonde bounty hunter wasn't really pissed, moreso ready to state the facts.
"Well, I don't mind that Samurai Jack and Kyo being sent home, they are both strong players and the samurai guy is one great man with only just his sword and I did come here to win. Kyo's practically eliminated with that terrible speech...or terrible explaination, but he's gone...and I still don't know who the third eliminated contestant is."
*Confessional cut*
The fire, the marshmellows, the many seats and finally, the 36 remaining and the 3 eliminated campers that all had their spots on the seat, even if three of them are guaranteed to not get marshmellows.
Besides, there's three more that aren't going to get marshmellows and they're all on the Chill Capybaras and surprisingly, everyone was there.
"Campers, the final merge's ahead of the people who didn't bomb the challenge at random and these marshmallows represent their 30 of you that made it to the final merge! For obvious reasons, Mystique Sonia, Tails and the man, the myth and the lawsuit generator, Coachman, don't get marshmellows!" Chris announced. "Foxes, you guys are gonna watch three dudes get eliminated from the other team!"
"That's a bit messed up, guy! I'd rather know the day after!" Pit shouted.
"...That's still a bit messed up, friendo." Lowain shrugged. "Well, I've gotta get my rep up."
"True, dude...and make that your votes don't do the same! Anyways, all the Foxes minus the eliminated ones get marshmallows!"
True to his word, the former Foxes all got the marshmallows and the first of the Capybaras managed to get them as well, hilariously, them being Terry Bogard and Ryuko Matoi, weirdly enough.
"And also, Terry and Ryuko, who have no votes and honestly, there wasn't many people with votes...but..."
Lowain caught one, as he just got it caught in his mouth.
Heavy genuinely ate one, as it was caught.
Joseph just caught it with ease and shouted "Nice!"
Cassie got a whole other marshmallow that had some crackling energy in it.
Tanjiro got a good lick on the thing and finally, Bayonetta just stretched herself as she got another no-vote ceremony...along with a somewhat surprised Nobara, who realised something important.
"Whoever among you has marshmallows aka Lowain, Heavy, Joseph, Cassie, Bayo and Tanjiro, share having no votes with Terry and Ryuko! Nobara, Nicole, Samurai Jack, Kyo, Sokka, Tanya, Samus, Reg and Muscle Man aka Mitch, three of you are toast!"
"Bro, who voted for me!" Muscle Man called out.
"Someone definitely did." Nobara remarked. "Which was not me."
"...Uh-huh." Muscle Man dismissed her.
...
...
Chris was getting tired of all the interruptions from the many players.
...
...
"Reg and Nobara only have one vote to their name because they don't suck majorly!"
"That's a compliment, I guess?" Reg asked, quite mad at the backhanded insult.
"You made it with 30 other people. You don't need a compliment!" Nobara got hers elated.
...
...
Samus wondered what just happened.
...
...
"And Tanya and Nicole have only two votes to their name!"
...
"I don't get it, but why two?" Nicole asked. "Is it because of my competitive to crush everybody!"
"I don't know where that came from, but that doesn't help." Tanya answered with a smile. "I'm more surprised that I made it."
...
Samurai Jack remained stead-fast.
Kyo was genuinely shocked at how he could've messed up this challenge and Samus wasn't really shocked at all.
...
...
Muscle Man was sweating-
"Muscle Man has three and we're down to our final four! Take it away, Chef!" Chris just let Chef have the stage on this one.
Chef Hatchet wasn't really steaming and he was even content with this one.
"Samus, people think you're way too threatening with your game and you don't come off as a nice person to even be around and plus, you messed up today."
"Those are all good points, but that is literally Tanya did." Samus answered, as Tanya raised an eyebrow. "Trust me, she would throw people under the bus like it was nothing."
"Kyo...you made some major mistakes in this challenge like leading your team into a ditch and being a dingus and not doing super great in other challenges."
"...Yeah, but can someone summon fire?"
Kyo just got a dismissive nod from Chef.
"Samurai Jack, you're mad strong...I mean, strong even compared to the crazy people of this cast! Deadpool wouldn't even win against you!"
Samurai Jack affirmatively nodded, knowing of his strength and...his status in this game.
"And...Sokka...I have no idea why you're here, probably because fire girl hates you and also, you didn't lead your team this challenge1"
"That's what I'm asking! What's your deal, Azula?" Sokka complained.
...
...
...
...
...
...
"Unsurprisingly, Sokka survives for obvious reasons!" Chris announced, as Sokka grinned.
"YES, YES, YES, no offense, Kyo, but you're a dingus." Sokka made a comment that would...
...end up with Kyo having some fiery hands.
"So, that was you?"
"Yeah and...you messed up, so accept it."
"What did I mess up?!"
Samurai Jack sighed standing up to the Dock of Shame with...two of the eliminated contestants, as he didn't care that much and Samus just punched the wood in half before getting up to also join her compadre.
"Kyo, Samurai Jack and Samus join Mystique Sonia, Coachman and Tails in the Sling-Yacht of Shame and these guys are gonna hurl-" Chris stopped his comment to see something not that surprising.
Coachman had gone to the toilet.
"-Considering what's been going down all season, Chef's gonna find him!"
*Tanya's confessional*
The teen soldier looked quite pleased with herself.
"You know, you may not have joined my alliance and you didn't even survive your elimination, but I know what happened to make me survive, so thank you, Coachman for propping me up for obvious reasons."
*Dante's epic confessional*
"I don't really have an epic eulogy, but this should be close enough!"
Dante had a smirk.
"Damn, all that stupid stuff, all the evil moves and you even burnt down the voting booth and still couldn't make it to the merge! Don't know what that means other than you suck at this game, so I don't have any regrets for betraying you, old buddy!" He bragged. "Anyways, I'm gonna eat whatever bullshit Chef has!"
*Pinstripe's confessional*
The angry potoroo just slammed down his gun.
"My butt got scared of telling that he's been playing like a damn idiot and look at him, now, couldn't even make the final merge. I kinda hate that demon hunter for the way he's playing because he's playing like a fucking idiot." Pinstripe remarked. "Geez."
*Confessional cut*
He was smoking his pipe, walking out like he actually won the challenge in spite of Dante essentially reading his mind and Azula sabotaging him several times after the first merge and he probably could figure out that it was his time.
"You know, maybe I shouldn't have gone after Dante...but at least, he's going to get paid what he deserves-"
Coachman definitely bumped into someone who he didn't care to meet, as he looked slightly up to see that (Big) Jack Horner was also here for no reason other than one thing.
"Ooh, you might you want to stop saying that because he beat you!" Jack Horner shouted. "Also, can you give me your gold?
"You know what, you are a donkey too and more importantly, someone has already it and I don't think it is you!" Coachman implusively shouted, as there was
"...Yeah, I don't really care that much about that gold? I've got something better to do, since you really can handle a beating!" Jack was charging up something epic on his staff.
"WHAT-"
Coachman got blown the fuck out, luggage and all still unharmed, as Chris just grinned at him completely landing in the Sling-Yacht of Shame with the other five eliminated contestants, who all just laughed at him.
For the record, Jack couldn't really shoot to deal him going directly to the Losers' Resort, he just charged it up to make his journey more painful because he was the coolest villain (according to himself and accredited hype man, Deadpool.)
"No way, look at him! He really did get blown up by his own folly...and the other five people just got eliminated wherever through votes or not, didn't make it to the merge! Along with him!" Chris announced, as the host was just smiling. "No last words because this episode's too long! Who's going to be hit by the merge! Who's going to be boned!"
Chris just got a serious look from Chef and Dante, who was just here for posterity's sake.
"Okay, who's going to get hit with the boney classics? Next time on..."
"...TOTAL DRAMA: ULTIMATE ISLANDS!"
To be continued in Episode 27, where things are not only about to get dry and exciting, but there's also a new home for the campers that they don't like and an island that's definitely Pahkitew with a lot of sand.
Yeah, I know, Mystique Sonia's not the greatest elimination to be happening at this specific time, but she's a bit like Uraraka and as much as that makes no sense, her girly girl-ness kinda messed her up...even if the sewage would burn like crazy! Also, she'd play it serious.
As for Tails, gotta be honest, it kinda hurt to do the thing, but someone has to recognised the fact of his absurd potential and plus, Pit's already defining the "short king" archetype along with being the equilvalent of 12-year olds and honestly, I really like Tails...but Reg's gotta stand out from his shadow...sorta.
(And Reg's a solid character)
Kyo Kusanagi, I don't like him as much and plus, Iori's just happened to be on the winning team, quite literally saving his chance in the game and more importantly, he can be an asshole when he can and this episode, he was one of them.
(Also, Terry Bogard is real cool.)
Samurai Jack, genuinely got blindsided by some people that technically aren't on the same former team and much more importantly, he too stronk and I don't know him that well.
Also, Tanjiro's entirely the reason and plus, the other players really need some spotlight.
Samus got blown the heck out and as much as she isn't really similar to Cassie, Cassie's practically going to ape her strategy if she stays on and honestly, I don't even mind her that much.
Just she doesn't have the craziest personality and Cassie had some personality, so that's really it. Can't hate on her for that.
...
Coachman needed to be eliminated for so damn long and I'm genuinely complicated on how I feel about this guy in general, as I genuinely hate him for hopefully obvious reasons and for some reason, he's in this season and I loved writing him as what he would be in some Disney Rennisance movie, a very evil man with dry wit, trickery, some kind of villain hating, strategic and drop his plans when the main hero gets real.
In retrospect, he's kinda like Jack Horner except he's not in canon, just odd how that happens in life...and it's weird how the main hero is Dante, a man with a whole-ass bootleg redemption arc.
Yeah, it do be like that! WOOO, MERGE HAPPEN!
