Total Drama X: Ultimate Islands!
Episode 30: Jungle Team Business!
RikkiSnake on AO3: Not gonna lie, I won't blame you for that move. Cassie Cage is still a massive problem, though and let's just say that Nicole's here for the longest run!
I find it kinda funny how the guy on AO3 has the first review, anyways, there's a stupid amount of trouble within these solid group of competitiors and I won't elaborate further than that!
Anyways, here's another remix of a challenge that may or may not have appeared several times on All-Stars and yeah, there's going to be 20 people at the end of this episode.
"Last time on Total Drama: Ultimate Islands, everyone was like Marty McFly, riding a hoverboard away from their enemies or competition on Boney Islands and causing trouble to each other's games!"
The classic montage of Extreme Gear being flipped, blown up and looking all stylish with these contestants.
"It got real dramatic, but a lot of people exploded...and there was a lot of explosions, traps and whatever else fun stuff that hit all of the campers in some way! That being there was a lot of immune people riding those boards to the finish, Miko brought Lowain into the immunity group, which made Azula angrier...if that's even possible!"
Chris chuckled.
"Sokka and some other people may have been targets, but they're immune and there was slim pickings for some reason! Terry and Tanya aren't that surprising, but Cassie Cage? Really got the short end of this yacht-thing!"
The epic eliminations of three people with nothing in common were shown, as Chris and Chef were basking in the sunrise of the island, though it was probably not a challenge day.
"Alright, the sun's nice and trust me, it's not as terrible for this camera, as the challenge is for our campers and no-one's playing around for the game! Only for themselves and for the ultimate prize on...TOTAL DRAMA: ULTIMATE ISLANDS!"
Azula was little bit tired of this game, which someone picked up on quite immediately and the other three people in the earliest alliance to survive definitely noticed.
Since they were all in the same set of beds, the fire princess woke up late...and ready to burn Sokka to a crisp, as Nicole just felt to wisely move away from her.
"I'm glad you're up." Nicole said seriously. "...You should-"
Azula, of course, looked like total shit.
"-get yourself prepared for our alliance meeting mins Lowain, because I have a feeling that he's playing both sides to come out on top. I would do that, but I'm in this alliance."
"Good call, I suspect that our little princess is angry that her two targets are immune and probably working together." Bayonetta casually dropped, as Nicole raised an eyebrow. "...I can't believe you all forgot that."
"Now, it checks out." Nicole said, still in a ridiculous serious tone.
The now all-ladies alliance took some time for their young leader to get up, get herself prepared and looking positively steamed, as they were back in the bedrooms with some people trying to not get themselves killed from the presence in the face of three angry ladies and Yumeko.
"Oh, I'm so glad that my boyfriend's in another alliance...so what she should we do to crush that and make sure he's in this alliance." Yumeko casually answered.
"That's the thing. I'd rather that he understands that you two aren't in a relationship in this game rather than some situation where through burning enough fiery bridges." Azula answered with a smile. "He will understand or you'll break your own relationship."
"I would that not like for him to hate me, but I'd still be fine with it."
Azula smiled, realising the reason why Yumeko was still allowed to even do all of her bullshit and the black-haired student just playfully sat down.
"That being said, having Sokka out of the game would make it much better for us to rule and for Lowain to accept you into his fold considering your intelligence and odd set of skills."
"Come on, I know he's a bit of a big-hearted idiot and more importantly, Yumeko's only kind of friends with you." Bayonetta casually spat out. "This is an alliance."
"Meaning?"
"We're just playing the game, nothing more, nothing less and this game doesn't have you being favoured."
Bayonetta was already tired of the relatively short tyrant, as Yumeko was offended and Nicole was a bit pleased by the minor takedown and Azula wasn't fazed by the snide comments.
"At least you understand the game, though fear's a powerful weapon."
"Doesn't hurt to have someone like you."
"...Good, hopefully you understand that this meeting's over."
"That's fair, you probably would have blasted the other people in here."
Azula and Bayonetta just left the room, preparing themselves for whatever wacky challenge that Chris had cooked up for them and it left Nicole, Yumeko, Squirrel Girl and Nobara in the fold, wondering why the alliance basically revealed themselves to the other ladies.
Why did the alliance decide to have it in the girls' room?
Mostly because it was only the four of them at the room when the meeting started and Nobara and Squirrel Girl agreed on a little something to basically overhear the meeting through some kind of bed-hiding method.
*Nicole's confessional*
She sighed.
"I hope that she know that it's not going to work. Sokka may not have an formal alliance, but a lot of people like him and Lowain's better at making speeches." Nicole answered. "...Hold on, this is literally how Coachman went down! I think Bayo tried telling her, Yumeko warned and I tried to tell her!"
She confidently crossed her arms.
"Funny how this universe's Total Drama works."
*Squirrel Girl's confessional*
Monkey Joe was chittering to the brown-haired Canadian.
"I may not be the last Canadian standing, but Crimson came in halfway through this thing and Scott was eliminated once, so I'm technically the last Canadian that lasted through this competition."
She noticed.
"And if I have to stop Azula to be on Sokka's side to last longer, that's what I'm gonna do! And thanks to my squirrel friend, it's not impossible for Yumeko to betray Azula apparently because she's the type of people that she would fight against!"
Monkey Joe corrected her.
"Yeah, but every gamble could be a fight!"
*Nobara's confessional*
"You know, I would actually be in her alliance but she basically outed my alliance leader and something tells me that I would be cut as soon as she doesn't like!" She confident showed her hammer. "Also, a lot of people don't exactly like her, so that's all of the more reason why she'd be eliminated."
*Confessional cut*
In the cafeteria, Tanjiro's sword was covered with plant good and he looked like he had fought some demons, having his clothes scratched and even having holes in a few places, but he kept the cafeteria open...
...hilariously, he was the only one that was damaged by the entire Boney Island madness, but mentally everyone had felt the effect of the still well-lit, yet strangely foreboding place where Chef put in his usual trash into the food and thanks to timing, the majority of the ladies were not eating at the same time as the men or the boys.
The boys were having a conversation about some mean girls.
"So, what's happening?" Reg started. "Since we all kind of agree about who to vote off once she isn't immune and she's mean enough."
"Mean enough?" Sokka said. "Azula is that and Yumeko is even more of that, but...other than that, I can't say who I would really vote for."
"I'm only saying kind of because she looks like she's playing too strong and Yumeko broke an alliance and unintentionally, she's just one of those people who would do anything."
Reg just left it at that.
"Anything for what?"
"That's the scary thing, he doesn't know! But I definitely know, because she does it for the thrill of life and maybe for her friends...and let's hope for that it's just for fun, because she's enough of a weirdo." Joseph butted into the situation, as the brown-haired hero just pulled up with a seat slide. "Anyways, you want to talk about Azula?"
"I want to vote her off, is that good enough for you!" Sokka screamed, attracting...
...the attention of the rest of the room.
"Yeah, just don't kill me." Joseph quietly stated. "Okay, do you want to talk about something else."
"Yes!"
*Sokka's confessional*
The Water Tribe warrior was putting on war paint.
"It's war, Azula, mostly because you have your alliance that does do things." Sokka said. "Either way, you're not going to win with your messing with people! And scaring people unlike me!"
Because of his war paint.
*Confessional cut*
The other boys were having a slightly better time talking about their futures in the game, as Lowain was shaking in pure something and the rest were not shaking at all.
"Come on, she legally can't kill you!" Pinstripe said. "You've got two knives for the sauce's sake!"
"Azula might not kill me, she might just injure me out of the game, Azula's definitely that type of person, bruh! She's my ick!"
"Ick? You pick icks!"
"...Dunno about that, weasel bro." Lowain said. "Yumeko's probably gonna trash me forever!"
"And she was always trash! I hate seeing ya like this!"
Pinstripe slammed the hand on the table, as Lowain and Heavy was looking at him like he had a problem and the potoroo got his hand back off the table.
"Bruh, you ain't had someone lit your heart up! Being with someone wild's lit, big man!" Lowain shouted. "Also, Azula's-"
The dude with the furry ears got the look of plain war.
"-Azula's doing that to me and I think my babe's tied with her."
Pinstripe just shrugged, as he sighed.
"Love's as cruel as the bus that it was brought on and Yumeko really appreciates ya, but she's trash."
"...Ay, bruh, you're trash as well."
"Yeah, I am!"
These two may have shared an awkward moment with each other, as Joseph and Sokka silently observed a snapshot of the new villains' alliance's chincanery...
...but they weren't on super great terms, just not hating each other with Lowain just getting up with a nervous grin.
"I wonder if it's because my bros are getting hurt by Chef." Lowain commented. "But my mojo gone like off the grid, bro, guy who literally slid into the conversation."
"Come on, I sense a problem within you and uh, your game being worse would make this season worse!" Reigen spoke. "If you want my opinion, you've got to find your mojo and bring into your body."
"Yeah, just let me get to it, fake psychic."
"W-w-why would you think that?!"
Lowain just grinned.
"Nah, just joshing with ya."
*Reigen's confessional*
The psychic was clapping his hands like a supervillain.
"If I can work my way into his good graces, hopefully that means his vote will be secured to not vote me out. Isn't it weird how a lot of the people are cordial with each other, despite the fact that they've been through 29 challenges...though, I'm sure Crimson doesn't care!"
*Mikhail's confessional*
He grinned, sure of his positiong within this long game.
"I can say blonde man's fake because he doesn't have powers. But I have no strategy and I stop caring about being in this baby game!"
*Confessional cut*
Speaking of the other girls, Sandy Cheeks, Doreen, Crimson and Mai were all somehow in the same exact place thanks to the power of Larry's sixth son that was just in the mood of scaring the shit out of the ladies in the weird jungle, that same jungle with a lot of the sun flitered down onto the ground.
In spite of the place, Crimson wasn't that scared, being the only one that was very close to the plant's sixth son.
"This is a great plant! If I could kill my enemies with it, I would." She stated.
"Only you could say that? It is dripping on my hair because of your de-odourant!" Mai complained, holding her fans in both hands.
"Well, like, it's whatever." She said. "None of you are goth enough."
"Great, so try and get this plant out of here."
Squirrel Girl and Sandy obviously were on high alert as was Mai, being the receptor of the spitting plant monster without any anger.
"...But why, it's not like this place is our habitat and the plant has been standing there for 40 minutes wondering what we're doing here!" Squirrel Girl shouted. "My squirrel told me AKA Monkey Joe!"
"Actually listen to Monkey Joe." Sandy added. "This big weirdo's just hanging around."
Crimson was standing strong, hanging around the casually standing, still mutated plant and she didn't look impressed at Mai Shiranui putting back the fan and glaring at it.
"Like, it doesn't care."
"I don't care either!" Mai said. "But something about it tells me that it's not here to have fun and it looks like one of those things were it just does whatever it wants."
"It's standing there." Crimson remarked with impressive force, in spite of her soft voice.
"Look I'm gonna give it its space and if it fights, then I'm not holding anything back."
These four were about to share something, since one of them was in an alliance, one was here for revenge and the other two were part of the same team during the two-team stage and they all were hanging out in the forest for strategic reasons.
Not because the plant was just intimidating them into getting them into the same area, as Squirrel Girl got slapped back into her seat and Sandy also got her lasso slapped.
"Can you understand us?" Crimson asked, as Mai threw her fans at it.
Sure enough, the plant didn't have enough time to react mostly because of one thing that everyone regardless of the competitors heard.
"Guys, I don't care where you guys are or what you people are doing! It's time for an awesome challenge!" Chris announced. "No, Chef, it's not-"
The plant seemingly made a sigh gesture and let them go, as these four were sprinting all of the way towards the same cafeteria.
"Do you think we're going to meet that plant again?" Squirrel Girl asked. "If so, I'd like to see what that plant's deal was!"
"Yeah, fuck that giant flytrap!" Mai declared. "...Didn't we come to talk about alliances?"
"Honestly, no, but I swear Chris was controlling that plant."
"Uh, that's stupid!"
*Sandy's confessional*
The squirrel scientist was frustrated.
"All of them besides Crimson are such nice fellas and they could probably out fight everyone else! Like, sure, I've already got a good set of players in the Comeback Alliance, but us other people are on the short end of the stick! I've seen two different alliances happen on my screen and it just being the three of us ain't enough, you know." She explained.
*Crimson's confessional*
The goth girl just casually sat down staring into the camera.
"I don't even hate it, but like, going into another alliance as some follower sucks. That being said, this Comeback Alliance thing...I can tell that they've had some life experience and not just fake happy people." She remarked.
*Confessional cut*
All twenty-three of the campers were sat back down near the cafeteria in an open area with a crate on another crate and the two hosts trying to not laugh at the "epic" challenge that awaited all of the contestants.
Though there was another short fence that stopped a lot of the plants that was on the border of some deep "Fun Zone" forest and grass that was unnaturally absorbent of the water though it was plain dry.
"Okay, I swear only nineteen of you are here and oh, look, four latecomers! Hello, campers, I heard all of you are enjoying your stay at this epic habitat of slightly radioactive animals and clean ground! You people have witness the best of what nature has to offer..."
The forest screamed a loud noise out of nowhere.
"...I would say that, but these things are still filled with radiation and other freaky stuff that tourists that didn't! Though it's not ready for tourists, you guys are going to see all of the Boney Habitat with these cameras!"
Dante got thrown some tough camera, the red version of the safari ones from the Ridonculous Race.
"All you have to do is to team up with some friends or enemies to take some photos, extra points if it's artistic, no points if it's blurry and more points if those pictures have plants or animals that might show up in your nightmares! I'd rather see you guys in pain, though don't get radiated!"
Chef and Chris shared a laugh.
"Come on, you guys have been long enough to not turn into mutants! That being said, these plants ain't nice, so you better make sure that your camera doesn't get melted or eaten or else, you can't get more points! The two mini-teams with the most points will be safe and the rest will not! Finally...please don't kill the animals! It won't earn you any points, but it does save me from getting sued again!"
"Don't worry, I'm sure that you're not going to get sued again!" Dante held the camera. "Anyways, how the heck are the teams gonna be organised...since you know, there's 23 people!"
Chef just facepalmed, as he started speaking for the not so sly host.
"Chris already put y'all into teams! Long story short, first and second place from the last challenge are the only duo taking pictures!"
Miko fistbumped Dante.
"I bet you can't keep up with me!" Dante remarked with a sincere grin.
"Well, I can, but it's complicated and very normal!" Miko sputtered, struggling to not reveal her Glitch Tech-ery.
"Well, I'm no photographer, but I'm an expert in making things look good!"
"If ya say so." Miko shrugged. "Sorry, Pit, I've gotta make awesome pictures!"
"Pit, Sokka and Joseph make up Team 2. Sandy, Reigen and Crimson are Team 3. Scott, Tanjiro & Azula are Team 4. Lowain, Yumeko & Nobara are Team 5. Mai, Nicole & Bayonetta are Team 6. Pinstripe, Heavy & Squirrel Girl are Team 7 and the rest of y'all are Team 8!"
Scott and Tanjiro wisely looked at Azula's well-placed grin and realised that she had something on her own mind and said mind may be a little bit...off.
"Uh, Azula, we're a team that does things like teams do! Being badass and kicking butts like no tomorrow!" Scott shouted. "Only doing it together!"
"Good. Then follow my lead." Azula answered. "Or you will feel the force of the boat out of a slingshot?"
"Uh, I don't know-" Scott dithered on Azula's judgement.
"Yes, miss, we will not let you down!" Tanjiro just shouted to Scott's dismay. "Please don't eliminate me!"
Scott Pilgrim was going to say anything, but he was on the wrong end of Azula's gare and it whittled down his responses to an approving nod.
"Random question, what's the general direction we should go?" Nicole asked. "Since you know, there's stuff all around the island?!"
The Umbra Witch just looked towards the forest where a weird animal was peeking at her, uh, general physique.
"Northwards since that's where we came from." Bayonetta answered sardonically.
"Actually, just any place that's away from the camp areas! You know, bedrooms, food place, toilets and a confessional!" Chris shouted, just to make sure that he caught people off-guard. "Okay, GO!"
*Joseph's confessional*
He just held the orange camera like he was about to post some crazy shit and he even laughed like it.
"I'm going to score all of the points for my team and prove that I'm a serious guy with some serious plays! Though, I swear there's also some other freaky animals in here! Doesn't matter, I've got my skills!"
*Yumeko's confessional*
The ravenhaired gambler looked intrigued.
"I've gotta solve this love situation with Lowain, but at the same time, I do have to play the game and if he ends up the target of Azula, I can't help him." She stated. "Hopefully, he understands."
*Lowain's confessional*
He wiped the sweat off his head.
"Man, my game's about to look as good as Yumeko does! That's right, I said it, she looks good and she's playing good as she looks...hopefully that means I'm by her side gambling together and winning this whole thing and taking most of the money! Life's definitely a gamble without Azula around!"
*Confessional cut*
Team 1 (Red): Dante & Miko
Team 2 (Orange): Pit, Sokka & Joseph
Team 3 (Yellow): Sandy, Reigen & Crimson
Team 4 (Green): Scott Pilgrim, Tanjiro & Azula
Team 5 (Cyan): Lowain, Yumeko Jabami & Kugisaki Nobara
Team 6 (Blue): Mai Shiranui, Bayonetta & Nicole Watterson
Team 7 (Purple): Pinstripe, Heavy Weapons Guy (Mikhail) & Squirrel Girl (Doreen)
Team 8 (Pink): Ochako Uraraka, Reg & Muscle Man (Mitch)
All of the teams spread out from the camp zone with all of the ultilities and they were going into the awkward unknown with cameras that could actually do several things at once.
Like have screens that didn't have trouble reading the situation, though the return of the indestructible watches did alleviate the trying to figure the animal points situation, though one team didn't really care about that.
"Eh, you guys are real bold! Considering that we're in some kinda fucked up position, going after the big fry!" Pinstripe declared, running towards a certain point.
"We've been here several times, hell we've lived here for a little bit! I doubt that we'd just forget freaky animals that quickly!" Squirrel Girl shouted.
"Yeah. We need weapon, though because I like not dying. Then we go and fight!" Heavy said. "And make 'em ugly!"
"Good call, though, Chris didn't give us weapons."
"That is okay! I had sandwich today, so it's fine."
"Don't underestimate Canadian sandiwiches!"
Team 7 may have been purple in terms of the mood with the colour, but they were purple in the same way that Prince was purple, since they were not wasting any time on proving that messing around was not an ability that they had.
*Mikhail's confessional*
He had a grin.
"If I win money, my sisters back home are getting some and my friends! My friends will have money with me doing stuff with my lot of money! Finally...more bullet. Don't need to be smart man, just bullets man."
*Confessional cut*
These three were going hog wild by going north, which was not a particuarly special direction on that day.
Even if there was a lot of animals, simple and extremely complicated embedded within the wildest habitat that an island could contain and none of them were super sneaky besides Pinstripe Potoroo.
That was reduced to taking some disgusted glances at the weird animals from the sneakest guy in here.
"Geez, I'm really seeing a buncha freaks in here."
"Weasel man, you're another freak. Stop crying and start picturing." Heavy answered.
"Okay, but-"
Squirrel Girl knew how to be a squirrel and took advantage of it by going into the laser squirrels' area and having the skills to have a little talk-to-talk with the other ones.
"Hey, cute little guys, how are ya?" She politely asked the squirrels, who were peeved at this interloper. "Uh, I must have jumped in on your."
The squirrels learned how to swear apparently, because-
"The heck did I even do to you?"
Mikhail and Pinstripe just tried to wave away their teammate, but Monkey Joe had some squirrel words to say to the leader of this pack of laser squirrels and it became a full on argument.
"Monkey Joe, stop it, it's not worth it!"
The squirrels were squeaking about something ridiculous.
"I'm sure that his mom's really respected! Okay, Monkey Joe!"
"Shut up, lady! I'm not scared of squirrel!"
Heavy ran in and took a few pictures as he was running, as Squirrel Girl pulled Monkey Joe away from the now hostile laser squirrels and these three had some trouble.
"We got 7 points, thank me." Mikhail commented.
"You might want to-" Squirrel Girl and her gang of squirrels didn't get to finish that sentence.
Because the laser squirrels were trying to end their challenge early and these two were running.
*Pinstripe's confessional*
The brown-furred legend wasn't in the mood.
"Goddamn it, Squirrel Girl, I swear we didn't have trouble before!"
*Confessional cut*
The one couple that was still together in a team were just looking at each other, as they had a dent that was forced in by Azula's own influence and these two were something ridiculous together and it didn't exactly help that Nobara was staring down the both of them.
"Calm down, witch, it's not that big of a deal!" Lowain shouted. "I'm talking about sorcery, not the-"
"I KNOW!" Nobara screamed.
Yumeko was unusually relaxe at the situation, mostly because there was way scarier things on the horizon.
Like Nobara.
"Uh, just ignore Azula because she's a bitch."
"Dang, you really went out and said it." Lowain said.
"Great...you two to need to sort out whatever your problems are."
Nobara just let the two have their space, even if they were both taken aback by her rudeness in the more junglier parts of Boney Island.
Hilariously, Yumeko spat out something epic.
"Why are you scared of Azula?"
"Why aren't you scared of Azula!" Lowain just said. "She might kill me in my sleep!"
"No, she'll just eliminate you and I'll pretend that I don't like you."
"That's the craziest situation that I've been in with a girl. Do you know how many girls I've flirted with and ended up with? Zero."
"Aw, that's cute! How's your flirting?"
"Uh, babe, that's what I'm trying to cook up! My moment."
Lowain realised how unfunny the flirt was and quickly got ashamed.
"Bummer, I was just getting started and dropped a real doozy on ya!"
"You really did try, even if it sucked!" Yumeko replied with a cheeky smile.
"I know, right? Man...how do I even beat Azula at her own game and still make sure that Sokka wins this one 'cause Chris did say that only two teams could have immunity and that guy's probably miles away." Lowain explained, still sure about the threat.
"Really? Life's a gamble, so if you go all-in on trying to help Sokka gain victory then I can do something to Azula...hopefully!"
"Nah, miss, we've gotta kick butt with hope!"
During that conversation, one surprising thing happen that had Nobara mostly speechless towards the newest couple in the game and it wasn't really that surprising.
Just so that the couple didn't hear.
"Speaking of kicking butt, have you seen what's behind you?!" Nobara shouted. "Goddamn slapping plants!"
"Wait, do they slap butts?"
Lowain subsequently got slapped twice in a row and was now on the end of his girlfriend's short-lived wrath, as Larry's seventh son with the intent to cause trouble and stop them from getting points.
"And did you take a picture?" He asked, much more wisely.
"Yes, no thanks to you!"
"By the way, Team 7 has 8, Team 5 has got 12 and Team 1 has 16 and it's only been an half-hour into this several hours long challenge!" Chris announced. "Being first place must come to those guys naturally!"
*Lowain's confessional*
The blonde boy was tired.
"Another doozy keeps on slipping from my mouth! Seriously, I have to try and make sure that I don't get voted off which is pretty high since Azula's one mean teen with a passion for fire!" He shouted. "How does Sokka do this rival alliance thing so easily?"
*Confessional cut*
In other news, Dante and Miko were working very well together to hunt down and get some pictures for the Boney Island brochure by going northwest and they were just making a killing in the game thanks to one thing.
Moreso two entirely different things that coalesced into one thing, as Miko was riding Ally and Dante was being his usual overpowered self and they used this to their advantage.
"Yeehaw, you'd definitely make a good cowboy!" Dante shouted. "Go winners' team!"
"Go winners' team! My pet, Ally, is kicking the butts that you've left behind!" Miko said. "Once this challenge is over, I might never talk to you!"
"Fair point, so I'm going to teach the tools of the trade of winning reality TV."
"Nice...but with Pit-"
These two got stopped by a wall that was entirely made of flora and flowers, grass covered and in spite of not being bamboo, wood or anything else that was hard, Ally's nose didn't go untouched.
Dante took the picture, once he realised that Ally was going to move all around in pain.
"Who do you think's on the other side of the wall?"
Miko may have asked, but...
...there was another team that wasn't even close to being as lucky as Team 1 or even Team 7, coming in with no points and a long trip towards the forest that took nearly 45 minutes and cut down their time of checking stuff severely.
"I can't take it, there's nothing here!" Sokka complained. "All there is a weird well that you can't just push through!"
"Dude, I can't believe you just said what you said without realising that this isn't nature! Well, it is weird nature, but it's not normal!" Pit exclaimed in relief.
Team 2 had finally discovered something...Boney.
"Uh, then take a picture!"
"My camera's in my pocket that I don't have-"
While the two of them were arguing, Joseph took it quite easily and groaned at Pit's pockets that were barely attached to his toga of sorts.
"Guys, Miko is definitely on the other side! Maybe we could figure out how to team up!" Joseph shouted with a grin. "Dante, as a fellow badass, can you find a way to pass this wall."
Pit and Sokka just groaned at him, probably thinking that Joseph wasn't looking at a very pleased Miko and a smug Dante, who could only barely fit a wave into the thing.
"Dude, we're fighting each other right now." Sokka huffed, crossing his arms. "Can't you say your new super secret super-alliance partner for later."
"Use your eyes, dumbass!"
"My eyes are-"
Dante and Miko were clearly seeing an pissed off Sokka and a grinning Pit.
"-working."
Sokka finished that sentence in confusion.
"Miko!" Pit shouted.
"Pit!"
Though the love was starting, so was the challenge.
...
Chris and Chef were in a slightly protected booth.
"Aw yeah, putting a little bit of love in it now! Urgh, can't believe it! You'll just have to figure it out after the break because apparently this airs on cable! Weird!"
And there it was, some love being shared between a wall that looked like it was moving, Pit and Miko separated by the boundaries that were thickening by itself.
"Pit!"
"Miko!" Pit called out in concern. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, duh! I got Dante by my side and we beat up a bunch of stuff!" Miko declared with a grin. "Pit, how's your team!"
The angel obviously knew that this demon hunter who looked like he'd willingly listen to Maroon 5 (sorry Kat) wouldn't really hang with her like that, but he tried to cut down the thickening wall.
"Yeah, it's going great! Greater than yours!" Pit futility trying to cut the barrier was definitely heard.
"Dude, it's okay! We're hanging out together." Miko replied, all chill. "Baging points."
Pit then calmed down, as he felt weird about getting angry at the coolest demon in the season about having a chance at Miko, as the two other dudes had.
"Okay, Team 2 you have 5 points, finally! Team 1 still has 21 points, so if you want to fight 'em!" Chris interrupted the touching moment. "...By the way, fight like you mean it!"
The plant wall disagreed with that assessment, as it shifted to get around the angel, the Hamon legend and Mr. Boomerang, who wisely ran backwards from the wall that was sliding forwards towards the three of them.
Dante and Miko just casually ran towards the orange team, who were about to be trapped in some kind of epic plant fuckery.
"Oh my god, the wall moves like Sonic!" Miko yelled. "Pit, be careful, you might die!"
"Cool, I like not dying!" Joseph shouted, taking the time to Hamon-ise his hands.
Joseph handled it like he usually did, using his hands to basically stun the wall for a second as the two groups of photo-takers ran far, far away from said wall that wasn't stopping for them and rolled downhill like it was nobody's problem.
The five of 'em had one thing to do.
"Do you want to have immunity?" Dante asked.
But before Pit was given the chance to answer, the demon hunter opened his mouth again.
"Then stick with me!"
"I don't mind it!"
"I do mind it, though." Sokka huffed quietly.
*Joseph's confessional*
"I would give him some tips on how to get girls, but he's already got a woman. As a man with a lady, I respect him!" He grinned while saying this. "Though someone should teach him some moves like me!"
*Miko's confessional*
She was already mid-jump in the confessional.
"LET'S GO, IMMUNITY!" She screamed.
*Confessional cut*
Teams 1 and 2 were both sequential in the order and in their tasks right now, just trying to find something good after six minutes of finding nothing, walking with the intent to take some pictures.
"You ever thought that this island could be normal?" Joseph asked.
"No." Sokka answered.
"Good point."
"But I was going to explain it!"
The quintet was having trouble finding stuff.
In the opposite end, Team 4 was very much not feeling the green of the other two team members, but the red of the self-appointed team leader that was doing two things that should be total opposites.
Azula glared at the casturarys with no problem, putting some fire in her hand to show that it was fucked, as Scott took the picture without Azula no problem.
"Hey, uh, what did it even do to you?!" Tanjiro complained.
"Nothing, it was just in my way." Azula answered, as the casturary slowly backed away. "And we shall move on."
"Scott, didn't you hate her?"
"She's making us win, so I don't mind at all!"
Tanjiro was completely freaked out at Scott's moral nonchalance, as the other two were immediately speeding out of that exact location with the demon slayer not that far behind.
Team 4: 9 points
"So, wait, you're just-"
Scott was looking at him annoyed.
"-going to let her be like this?"
"Have you tried asking her?" Scott suggested sardonically.
Team 4 then found something a little bit different in the middle of the nuclear jungle, that being an ordinary giant rabbit that stumped all three of them...for a second.
Scott and Azula agreed on a little something, though Tanjiro jumped in to create a good picture situation without any knowledge of photography, but he did have carrots.
"What are you-"
Azula then saw Tanjiro calmly looking at the bunny and soothed the hell out of it.
"I'm helping the team out." Tanjiro said. "I don't know if being mean to animals helps with the challenge."
A carrot slices that were thrown later and Scott took a picture.
Team 4: 15 points.
Tanjiro and Scott smiled, as Azula scowled, almost frowning at them for their softness, but they just kept on going.
"Azula, you want to win, don't you?" Tanjiro said.
"Yes, I do, but your softness towards animals is not necessary for a challenge like this." Azula answered. "Scott understands."
"Guys, guys, we should be focused on winning!" Scott shouted. "And right now, we're doing good! So, let's win some more and we can talk about that!"
"See he understands my argument!"
Tanjiro was shocked by Scott's position apparently, as Scott just shook his head.
*Scott's confessional*
The scuffed Canadian man looked confused.
"No way, Lowain's existence made her lose her mind! Now, this is good for my alliance because unless she goes home, we're kinda toast and I'm not a strategy man!"
*Confessional cut*
These three were awkwardly running all over the place, though they were aware of the game that was right in front of them.
Unlike a certain trio that somehow got themselves stuck on the mountains and all three of them knew that they were on snap away from getting a rare animal photo, even if they alone could take that snap real easy.
Then again, the pterodactyl would be rare, regardless wherever they were and having a few points to their own name would still suck on the oddly snowy mountains.
"Come on, ladies, we have a fucking job to do, no matter how far it takes us up a mountain!" Bayonetta shouted.
"At least it's good exercise! When are you guys going to get up here for fun?" Mai beamed. "Wait, hold on, I see wings!"
"And we're short on pictures, so let's take it before we get called failures!"
Nicole may have been out of pocket for that, but she was completely right.
An eagle may have been flying for no reason, but it absolutely got caught in the picture that Nicole and Bayonetta both took in the slightly foggy conditions.
Team 6: 7 points.
"Nice and we didn't even get a living fossil!" Mai smiled. "Okay, we should be-"
"-Trying to find some other animals and then prove that the living fossil should be dead because clearly it heard us!"
"Then shut up."
The ninja girl knew one thing about Total Drama.
You don't make a dinosaur who was flying right behind them angry, because it would be curtains for your chances in the challenge and for animal rights activists.
Bayonetta wasn't in the mood to get her camera broken, using some witch time to avoid that fate and though there was something very hilarious.
Even the pterodactyl saw that shit coming and ended up catching the camera in the witch's hand with its mouth and though she was mid-flip when that camera got eaten, it at least took a picture inside of the dino's guts.
"Goddamn." Bayonetta said. "Ladies, that living fossil heard us loud and clear and for one, let's make it dance!"
In classical lady fashion, these three were on a 'dactyl chase going out of the way and in classic Total Drama fashion, someone actually beat them to the thing albeit in the funniest way possible.
Yes, it was only one person, but...
*Crimson's confessional*
The black-haired goth grinned before she stopped that grin.
"If you saw me smile, then you will see my soul."
She stared.
"Now you will swear on my soul that you did not see me smile! I respect that beast of nature."
*Confessional cut*
Sandy and Reigen were genuinely pleased by the stealthiest move, as these three not only had 15 points to their name, but they also managed to gain a little something for their plan.
Crimson casually showed up showing a great shot to the camera.
"How in the hay did you manage to survive that encounter with a picture?!" Sandy asked, popping up from a bush.
"We shared a moment. It was scary." Crimson basically led the team out.
Sandy nodded to that, as Reigen was grappling with having an animal escape him and having some scratches.
"Yeah, scary, don't lie to a psychic."
"Did ya watch the Ridonculous Race or did you not?"
Reigen's mouth was suddenly as locked as Area 51, as the other two ignored him for his scratches.
*Mai's confessional*
She breathed in, being the angriest that she could be at the moment in this challenge, especially with Crimson actually promising a comeback and her teammate having her camera eaten.
"FU-"
Due to a random flashbang, she got spooked.
That was it, no trouble happened, lmao.
*Confessional cut*
"Okay, Jesus, I can't believe that just happened to the confessional! Anyways, onto funnier situations, Teams 1, 3 and 4 are the top three, having at least twenty points to their name! The rest kinda suck!" Chris announced, as the ladies were sprinting near him with a pterodactyl that was messing with them. "Team 6, still trying to meet that pterodactyl!"
"Chris, I will meet you in a-" Nicole screamed, ready to tear a lot of people in half.
"Sorry, guys, I'm too busy watching..."
Chris McLean had the luck of watching the oddly unlucky Team 7, unlike in Naruto, only had the one win to their name and were currently fighting a whole bunch of sand raptors.
"I'm tired of these motherfuckers throwing sand! Do they have pockets or something!" Pinstripe carried a wooden plank.
"Oh, man, rest in peace. They look like they have pockets to handle sand!" Squirrel Girl shouted, throwing Pinstripe off.
Pinstripe was so taken aback that he threw the plank at the raptors without trouble.
"What do ya mean rest in peace."
"King of The Hill? You know, Dale, cool guy, into conspiracies and whatnot."
Heavy then threw some punches at the raptors, definitely remembering one thing.
The raptors even got stunned by said camera.
"Finally, I got the picture and it took too long to take!"
"Team 7, you've got fourteen points, keep up the entertainment! Heavy, those raptors don't like camera flashes!"
Mikhail, Doreen and Pinstripe were a little faster on the uptake, due to actually being with those mad, mad raptors and having to sprint out of that situation.
Obviously, Heavy got stomped down by the raptors due to his lack of speed.
"ARGGGHHH!"
Doreen leapt with Pinstripe in her hands, squirrels intact and they all narrowly dodged being directly hit by the raptors, but the raptors had a great counter to that.
"IT'S ALWAYS POCKET SAND!"
Like in Naruto, these guys always had trouble on their end.
"Man, Chris, I love some lawsuit-free suffering in the morning!" Chef Hatchet said. "or at lunch because I'm hungry for lunch!"
"Yeah, it's great that you get Totsuki's leftovers because even these guys' leftovers are crazy good, Chef!" Chris said, earning a suspicious look from Cef. "Which might be end today."
"...Chris, did you warn 'em about the big point monsters and maybe even Zeke?"
"Chef Hatchet...these guys are good at discovering stuff, so it'll probably come up!"
Team Lowain had PDA, a rabbit and a misshapen squirrel and only five points to their own name, as they were adventuring quite deep into the darker forest with nothing else to show for it.
"Hey, uh, if you want to eliminate Azula, then stop kissing! It's getting old!" Nobara complained. "We need to find some animals for real, this time!"
"We are."
Nobara stopped being pissed off.
"I'm just following Yumeko's totally not wacky advice!"
Nobara went back to her previous state, as Yumeko rolled her eyes.
"Are you serious, Lowain! That was stupid and more importantly, the second best accidental sabotage." Yumeko honestly said. "That's not quite what I meant, if there's a great opportunity to gamble, then gamble is what I meant."
"Oh, thanks, Yumeko! You're always good with surprising advice!" Lowain shouted. "So, anyone wants to find something spooky, something messed up or even the gnarliest thing you could imagine!"
"I don't want to imagine it right now." Nobara crossed her arms, as a deep roar could be heard.
"It sounds like we don't have to imagine." Lowain's fair could be heard.
"Good, finally some action!"
"We've got a decent amount of points, we could absolutely got killed by whoever made the roar!"
"And we signed up for this, so let's go!"
These three were going to deal with the roar, Lowain's blades being that tough, Yumeko being in another situation she had no reason to be in and Nobara preparing her real hammer for either Plant Zeke or something slightly worse.
As they trawled through the new Fun Zone, they all wondered something.
This was Total Drama, it was definitely something slightly worse and in a hilarious twist, there was another two teams coming on their parade with grins that showed that they were going for that roar.
Team 2: 22 points
Team 1: 29 points
Team 5: 14 points
Nobara, Dante, Joseph and Sokka were all miffed with each other going in the same exact place, the quartet all going begrudgingly to the main event of the season.
Pit, Miko, Lowain and Yumeko had more interesting things to do, like try to bring themselves a whole bunch more points or talk about love, an underrated option.
*Pit's confessional*
"I bet you're wondering, 'Pit, why are you going with these guys' and I don't really have a good reason, just wanted my friends to be immune and Lowain's playing a dangerous game!"
*Lowain's confessional*
He was shallowly breathing.
"Guys, I'm a cook, sure I've been through crazy stuff, but that roar's definitely a tombstone writer if there is any!"
*Dante's confessional*
He whistled.
"Azula sucks and probably would like pineapple pizza!"
*Confessional cut*
The eight players were slowly crawling through, some people stealing some points that were reserved to no-one by taking photos of odd animals, freaky things and an unaware bear.
Even if Dante could cut it into pieces, he didn't really care that much.
"No frickin' way, that high of a score! That's not possible where I'm from!" Pit shouted.
"Well, yeah, we're from different dimensions! Have you forgotten!"
Pit may have been embarrassed, but Yumeko and Lowain were in this weird dead space where a lot should happen and yet it doesn't.
Bayonetta, Nicole and Mai were all on pterodactyl watch (I would say smoking on that ptero-pack) in the less mountainous and more hilly parts of Boney Island, which was chock-full of woolly mammoths and other stuff that they were not interested in.
Nicole was intensely angry, enough for Mai to hold her back literally and still struggle to not get shifted forward.
"Other ladies, this pterodactyl is going to pretend that we together are weak. Let's prove her wrong with our two cameras!" Mai declared.
"I agree, so me and that pterodactyl are having a date of sorts. Since...no cameras." Bayonetta remarked. "And like my angels, it's just waiting to be sliced into bits."
"Well, don't slice 'em into bits, you know. Just distract it."
Bayonetta heard it loud and clear, as the pterodactyl seemingly had the same thoughts as the witch.
It was ready to dance.
"Let's dance, dino!"
Bayonetta swung around the pterodactyl, circling around the now flying dino and they were both having a bit of dance, the witch shifting around the leaping dinosaur that suddenly wasn't flying at all.
But that was only because the pterodactyl flew once again, almost faster than it originally flew when the team originally saw it and these ladies wasted no time...in the photo-taking department.
Nicole and Mai weren't running for no reason, their cameras were out and incredibly reactive to a great shot and dealing with a witch that was trying to do a crazy jump.
Nicole actually managed to do that one jump with the camera real easy and she...finally took the picture and gained the team
"Not gonna lie, it's been a while! Three and a half hours have passed us by and finally, Team 6 is in with 32 points, gaining that awesome second place! Team 3's still slightly ahead with only an hour to go!"
Nicole landed with the camera...looking a little worse than it did before that jump, as it was a little crisp.
"I can't believe that it still takes pictures!" Nicole shouted.
"Why do you have that much power-" Mai declared.
Mai now was getting flown by a pterodactyl towards wherever its nest was, the ladies obviously following them.
"As for Team 8, they need to be in something crazy, but oh wait, I heard that they're having trouble!" Chris announced. "Can you switch to that?"
Team 6 might not gain any more points for the challenge, though Team 8 was hilariously stuck up on the tree for no reason at all, not caring that much about the monkeys they were actually chilling right on the bottom of the platform.
No seriously, the monkeys and other wacky animals genuinely were fascinated by the trio's lack of getting down from the absurdly tall tree.
Or rather, it was strategic due to one thing.
Team 8: 19 points
"How are you allowing this to happen! We're stuck on a massive tree and you guys could use my quirk to float down! I've vomited from worse things, guys!" Uraraka shouted. "Though, this is working for our team!"
"For the record, you can blame the robot kid! I wanted to get down hours ago, but it's earning us too many points and oh look!" Muscle Man shouted.
Reg took another picture with ease and it was of a pterodactyl with a ninja.
"Haha, suck on that, lady ninja!"
Uraraka just touched the two dudes and they all slowly floated down.
*Uraraka's confessional*
She was having a bit of a panic.
"Do you want to know why I was up for the past half hour! I swear a whole ghost just climbed up out of nowhere and these two were probably seeing it too, so I floated up towards this massive tree with some confused monkeys and we took a lot of photos! Enough to put us into fourth, I think!"
*Confessional cut*
"Yeesh, that is boring!"
The three teams were going monster huntin' in the now somewhat impossible forest with the space that it occupied, looking for that damn roar and they were all both excited.
And after that short blip of no stuff being found, Teams 1 and 2 were back to taking up the top 2 and Team 5 was now solidly taking pictures of those repeated squirrels or birds that shoot fires at cameras.
Long story short, Pit had one camera down and said bird didn't want to deal with the now very apparent roar and his perspective wasn't that important for one reason, comedy.
"Wait, Palutena, how come you chose this time to talk, I'm in the middle of trying to find Nergigante or whatever monster Chris has!"
No-one was listening to him having an episode of Palutena's confessions.
"Oh yeah, how, though? We've all gotta take a picture of the same guy and whoever it is must be in a fighting mood!"
Miko smiled because she knew who Palutena was and that she was not a pale tuna.
"That makes sense, alright, being right under our noses!"
Pit just huffed.
"What do you mean it's literally right behind us, that kinda doesn't make sense."
Joseph slowly turned around to see whatever Pit was talking about and the angel quickly turned around, these two were aware that it was definitely an old friend that looked tired of their shit.
Even if they did nothing to a good chunk of the players.
"Finally, the return of excitement to the TV! And Plant Zeke as well!"
"Why are you even able to clone him?!" Miko shouted, dodging Zeke's kick.
"The better question is how did he do that!" Joseph threw some clackers.
Even with the effort of seven people or six because Sokka got kicked out of the general vicinity of the battle with the plant man that was attacking all of them at once.
Pit was reduced to shooting arrows, because Dante was keeping him distracted with his attacks and the other four were doing some impossible acts
"You guys have 30 minutes, by the way, you guys try and defeat the undefeatable Plant Zeke! That's not even the monster that roared, though!" Chris announced.
"I don't care, just-"
Miko was slapped through her whole being, as Plant Zeke slashed her out of the way and made her and Ally get thrown back a ridiculous distance.
To be fair, Yumeko was still trying to get a great shot, it was a little hard with Miko and Ally landing right next to her and her photography skills were not great.
"All we have to do is put some space in between us and fake Zeke!" Miko shouted. "And I can't do it!"
"Really, though?" Yumeko asked, the camera still flashing. "I can't get a clear shot of him!"
Joseph was really the only one that was even hitting him for good reason, Nobara wisely taking the time to shoot through some improvisation with powerful rocks and Dante and Pit were getting a few hits in that did not do any damage.
At some point Plant Zeke would have to let up, but because he was made entirely out of fauna, giving a shit about being hit would be a problem.
Miko and Yumeko were trying to take some pictures for the team, Lowain being knocked out instantly.
*Lowain's confessional*
The blonde boy was in here.
"I never stood a chance against bogus Zeke. Apparently, so did plant bro!" He said in a pained fashion.
*Confessional cut*
"Twenty minutes left and Plant Zeke's still proving that he is not playing around! And I have no idea why he's beating down on our opponents!"
It was really obvious that Chris was being really suspicious about that stuff, because no-one was taking pictures on that and Joseph was knocking the plant teen back quite a distance.
"Take a picture, take a picture!"
"No time!"
Yumeko may have been scared out of her mind, but she was also out of her mind in general and Joseph was pissed that out of all of 'em
Team 5: 44 points
"Pit, you better be taking a picture!"
Pit finally pulled it out and he basically dodged out of the way onto a vigilant Plant Zeke, who was on watch for anyone that did not like Chris and in this forest, he knew better than to take anything for granted.
Hilariously enough, it worked perfectly and it ended up taking a picture that looked like a cryptid sighting.
Good enough to certainly tear through the camera.
"Long story short, Team 2 may have a broken camera...and spirit, but they have 67 points to their name! The Zeke picture was wild!"
*Joseph's confessional*
He had a smirk on top of a whole lot of pain.
"Goddamn Pit comes through for us again! Really, if I were to bring to the finals, I would be in trouble for actually having to try and stop him! Though it ain't much, I might not get that big money!"
*Confessional cut*
Dante and Miko were far behind in sixth place, apparently, since Teams 3, 4 and 6 were working their way through the challenge without that much trouble and without that much interesting sights that Chris wanted to show anyways.
Team 6: 42 points
Team 3: 47 points
Team 4: 40 points
Team 1: 33 points
"Wait, we're that low?!" Dante complained.
"Uh, yes." Miko said, unable to take the metaphorical wheel.
Plant Zeke was standing there, seemingly smug about doing his master's work and these two were looking at their watches with displeasure even with them learning something.
"Miko, we've got five minutes! Chris is probably going to say it!"
"Uh, Dante, stop stealing my lines! Everybody, there's only five minutes left in the challenge and yeah, get some good pictures because once those five minutes are up, those cameras will not send anything!"
"Well, then, my team is going to sort out finding freaks in the rest of the forest and catch some stray points!" Pit shouted. "Suck on this, Lowain!"
"Calm down, you're like a 12-year old despite living a whole 1000 years ago!" Lowain trashed with impunity. "My team is gonna do the same thing 'cept with lit-ness and three cameras!"
Teams 2 and 5 were out and it was up to two players (and Pit
Dante was too mad to have a witty reply, but he did have something...actually a lot of things he didn't care enough to use until this moment.
"Cool, do you have any super broken abilities that could confuse Zeke?" Miko asked.
"Say. No. More."
The demon hunter threw Miko his camera.
"Anyways, you're good with cameras!"
"Don't care!"
Dante then went up to Plant Zeke with some serious attitude and a glare at the plant man with Miko in the background, making sure that the demon hunter wasn't in the shot.
Zeke growled in his face.
"Finally, a demon with good breath!" Dante shouted, as Plant Zeke summoned vines from the ground to slip him up.
With some of the minor slippery liquid on the ground, Dante just kept on going with his powerful attacks, slapping him with steel that did not hurt that much to the plant and he only had speed on his side.
Incredible, incredible speed that swung on the plant man wannabe with stabs that may have stumped it and swings that were only to scare it and yet, with Dante even wielding a fake gun that stopped The Zeke right in its tracks.
*Miko's confessional*
The purple-haired gamer
"Hold on, there's two minutes and so far, Dante's having the time of his life, but how am I going to get Plant Zeke alone and down for the count! Ally's out for real and this girl doesn't have super broken and powerful abilities waiting in the wings!"
*Confessional cut*
"One minute left, it's getting real rough! And entertaining from one team in particular, trying to come back possible. But I like seeing guys in pain and Team 1 is in pain!"
Dante wasn't tired or scared, just really annoyed by Plant Zeke's evasiveness and arguably, Miko moved like a proper cameraman on crack, rolling and jumping without a problem.
She was bad at taking pictures, which wasn't surprising, but in here?
Fuck, she needed to not be bad and those vines may have not reached her, but falling down a few times doesn't help anyone in that case.
It had to be a co-operation between two people who haven't done that before this season, Miko getting up and moving like she had Glitches to kill and Dante finally providing the kick that she had been waiting for.
Do get some points or die on the campfire, either way...Miko saw Plant Zeke get thrown back a considerable distance.
"I'M TAKING THE PICTURE AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME!"
Miko screamed while taking the picture and Dante smirked at his seeming victory, the two of them had taken a picture of Plant Zeke on all fours and ready for her eyes.
"This Zeke's in 4K!"
"Wow, that was something! Team 1 gets 20 points for that gnarly picture which means they're in fourth place, which is really funny!"
Miko was getting mauled by Plant Zeke, even if she managed to run back a decent distance.
"Fun fact, all of the teams have at least twenty-three points and fun fact, I'm glad that you guys aren't photographers because you would make me look ugly! And you know, I don't like looking ugly!"
Miko was being held back by Dante.
"Like I said, Team 1's in fourth place with 52 and uh, Team 4's in seventh with 45 points and wow, your teams sucked today!"
Team 4 looked like they had fought the Avatar, as Azula glared at Tanjiro's fully mad face and Scott Pilgrim looked like he had to explain Knives.
"But since the losers really matter know aside from those two, we're calling everybody out for how much
"Team 3, mostly consisting of returning losers, has a grand total of 55 points!"
"Goddamn, we played too safe." Sandy complained.
"And you didn't get to see the giant monster!" Lowain mocked.
"Team 6 hasn't got that many points, being 50, enough for being fifth place!"
The three ladies all shared looks of regret.
"Team 7 barely got sixth place with a whole 46 points due to some animal chases!"
"You could say that again!" Heavy complained. "So many rhinos!"
"Hilariously, Team 8 stayed up on a tree for no reason to get 35 points only!"
Reg and Muscle Man looked at each other, an acknowledgement of men that wanted Uraraka gone for some reason.
"And in second place, obviously, Team 2 with Pit, Sokka and Joseph having a total of 70 points! Zeke scored you guys the big one for immunity, dudes!"
"What does that mean?" Pit said. "Wait, I know what it means!"
Sokka and Joseph scoffed angrily.
"Team 5, through slight luck and sheer determination, has gotten 101 points exactly! They actually made Sasquatchanakwa look good with that alone, probably winning the challenge!"
"Oh, look what we did last minute!" Lowain shouted. "Big 'squatch was looking to get a new pic and we were boned! So we took it!"
Sasquatchanakwa was giving the chill thumbs up for any lady sasquatches watching.
"Yes, it's over!" Nobara proclaimed. "You guys want to say something!"
"You only got that win through luck and because I suck at taking pictures!" Miko yelled. "Nooooo!"
"It finally feels good to win on my own...and with these two dorks loving each other!"
Lowain and Yumeko made a look towards Azula, who was positively steaming at this point and well, you can't stop love even when you're in the same alliance.
*Yumeko's confessional*
She had some serious concerns, judging by her cringing.
"Lowain might need to write his will."
*Azula's confessional*
She was pissed and focused on what needed to be done.
"If there's anything good today is that Tanjiro fears me! Good, he understands the consequences of his actions. Lowain should learn that."
*Lowain's confessional*
He had a nervous smile.
"Azula has a great campaign to avoid getting voted off, gets angry at our existence and is more focused on breaking us up than winning or she gets voted off! Either way, I need to stay a mile away from crazy chicks. Especially crazy chicks that might make me lit...in the literal sense." Lowain said.
*Confessional cut*
Uraraka, however, had some convincing to do since she was in last place completely and Reg wasn't willing to help her out.
"So, how about Azula! She actually got second-last today and more importantly, is both a major threat and really scary to be around!" Uraraka spat out. "I'm sorry, Azula."
"Don't apologize, you have consistently performed worse with an incredible power to float. Your game would have massively improved if you floated more or had better strategy." Azula said.
"That I can agree with!"
Uraraka was definitely scared of being voted off, though it wasn't like Azula wasn't flummoxed by her voting situation and Reg knew that he was in trouble.
"I'm just doing this for Tails, nothing more."
And he said it like he meant it.
Time for the classic campfire jamboree with 23 players in here and this time around, it was a sure guess who would get eliminated aside from some of the fodder.
Reg was, understandably, accepting of whatever fate he got and Uraraka very much was the opposite and the rest of the cast were either pleased with their position (of having immunity) or trying to gauge others reactions.
"Hahaha, I actually love today's votes because the challenge really did put into perspective who's in the metaphorical doghouse! Trust me, some people's immunity made their votes rather dramatic!"
Azula, Dante and Heavy huffed at each other as a slight suggestion.
"But today, I'm gonna keep it simple since first off, Pit, Sokka, Joseph, Lowain, Yumeko and Nobara are all immune from getting sling-yacht'd out!"
"In your face, Azula!" Sokka bragged, unintentionally giving Joseph another marshmallow.
"And the people with no votes to their name? Tanjiro, Mai Shiranui, Nicole, Miko, Squirrel Girl, Heavy, Reg and Sandy!"
"Yee haw, love's staying strong today!" Sandy shouted.
"Yeah, I'm a Plant Zeke survivor!" Miko screamed in the squirrel's face.
Azula, Scott Pilgrim, Reigen, Pinstripe, Crimson, Dante, Muscle Man and Uraraka were the seven that were up for some votes and all of them knew that they all had a fair share of reasons for their votes.
"The rest of you have at least one vote and the three who are gonna get voted today share twelve votes between them!"
Dante just took a small breath.
"Believe it or not, Dante, Pinstripe and Scott all have one vote only!"
Muscle Man had the "HUH" face down, as Azula knew that she didn't just get a lot of votes and Crimson's aura was well into the angry phase of existence.
...
...
"Weirdly enough, all of you have at least two votes to your names and only one of you has that many votes! Uraraka, you've got those two votes!"
"What, why?!" Muscle Man screamed.
"Ask your colleagues, they didn't like you a lot! Chef, give him an explanation!"
Chef sighed.
"I don't know why you got so many votes, Muscle Man! Maybe because people found your real name's Mitch!"
"I don't see that as a good reason for being voted off, your Chef-ness." Reigen stated.
"Reigen Arataka, you're definitely one of those psychics who lies for a living! Some people might accuse you of being a scam artist!"
Reigen sputtered, as Muscle Man just smirked.
"Crimson, you're just scary and probably spook the heck out most of these guys, also you came in Episode 18."
Crimson blinked, probably getting those kind of comments very frequently.
"And Azula, you're probably the strongest threat on today's chopping block, winning challenges, having a serious alliance before the merge, being socially terrible and being all kinds of OP!"
"Thank you, Chef, you finally got it right! Besides..."
Crimson didn't care.
Reigen was sweating buckets, as Azula just rolled her eyes and Muscle Man was feeling like something went wrong.
"...Reigen Arataka..."
The rest of the contestants were anticipating his elimination.
"...is safe today, also with two votes!"
"Of course I knew, my sweat was just a bluff for this elimination! Sorry, Muscle Man." Reigen casually remarked.
"Bro, I know you're in some kind of alliance! You just look like a wimp and the type of guy to have one!" Muscle Man screamed. "Why are you still here?"
"That's a good question. As a psychic, I could help you with that."
"SHUT UP!"
Muscle Man got held back by Chef, as Azula was looking at Lowain and Yumeko like they were colluding.
*Yumeko's confessional*
The gambling girl was genuinely surprised, albeit a little bit pleased.
"Another strategic vote is done and yet, I doubt that Azula will see it that way! Do you know how many people I tried to convince to not vote for her! More than you would think, but I'd rather gamble on the possibility of her elimination! Lowain, you owe me a gamble! Put it this way, I would never vote for Azula, especially because of what Chef stated!"
*Confessional cut*
Azula lept towards Sokka, Lowain and Yumeko who all coincidentally sat next to each other and she was definitely about to make them aflame.
Unsurprisingly, someone stopped her.
"I'm not surprised that so many people other than me would vote for you. It would be an obvious choice if there weren't two other better options!" Bayonetta said. "Miss, the game was stacked against you!"
"I know, but-" Azula's hand burst further into flames.
"But leave before you embarrass yourself!" Bayonetta sardonically said. "Trust me, you went out on top."
Azula quickly realised that she was about to prove someone right, as Sokka crossed his arms.
"Believe it or not, I voted for Reigen! Guy's definitely lying!" Sokka added.
Azula finally stopped trying to kill, as Crimson rolled her eyes.
"Then you will go down right after me. Because your threat level is quite high right now and if you're not immune, I will be sure to temporarily make your life worse."
Azula walked to the docks.
No last words, as all three of them were steaming, Crimson much less so.
"I guess my presence was too much for these fake happy people."
The Sling-Yacht slingshotted right towards the new Playa Del Losers 4 (2 and 3 weren't in a hotel and Chris was trying to get into the real estate business)
"Alright, Azula blew up at her elimination as expected and I wasn't expecting her to go home! The other two were kinda obvious, so for less obvious eliminations and more multi-island action stick for more..."
And for emphasis.
"...Total Drama: Ultimate Islands!"
To be continued in Episode 31, where the 20 remaining contestants finally get to grips with the one thing that everyone hates in this kind of season!
Eating food of quality that breaks the senses in half and probably would taste bad, though when you add a little bit of heat and a little of leftover drama from all of the set-up alliances, the challenge starts to seem a little hotter than it should!
Alternatively, these tough cookies eat some food that is as tough as them on a bad day, breaking the senses in opposite fashion by being some kind of disgusting.
...
...
...
Nah, it's both.
For Azula, it's not really that surprising. She didn't do good this challenge, her social game's terrible and she's one of the two people that scare people with her presence and even if she beat Coachman by a mile, it was only an mile! That being said, this was a long time being planned!
For Crimson, if Mikasa was here, someone else wild would be leaving, but she did manage to do slightly better than Mikasa with two more episodes of survival...just ignore the seventeen episodes that she wasn't in! The fact that she's scary means that she's actually cannon fodder like a certain scary girl!
And for Muscle Man, I can't hate him too much, he seems like quite the cool dude to be here, but at the same time, I don't have the greatest of knowledge of him!
He ain't going home because of that! He's going home because two entirely different alliances accidentally teamed up against him!
