Author Notes:
Another chapter done, 15 to go.
Oh I'm also promoting my new series Total Drama Low-Budget.
I know I said I wouldn't do two series at the same time but I thought this would be fine since there are only 13 episodes instead of 26.
Killer Bass: Bridgette, Cody, Duncan, Katie, Owen, Tyler.
Screaming Gophers: Courtney, Geoff, Gwen, Izzy, Justin, Lindsay, Trent.
-CJ
No Pain No Game
"Last time on Total Drama Island… An escaped psycho killer terrorized our campers with his meat-mangling hook and his mega murderous chainsaw. There was a large amount of screaming, especially considering the whole thing was really just an elaborate punk. Ooh, ooh, ooh! I love this part! Izzy was the only one to psych out the psycho! But ultimate victory went to the Bass thanks to Duncan, who somehow ended up in the kitchen with an actual psycho, which left Beth the detective wannabe to float the Loser Boat home. Only thirteen campers remain. Who team will win? Who will lose? Discover all those answers in Total Drama Island."

Main theme (sing it in your head)
Dear Mom and Dad I'm doin' fine,
You guys are on my mind.
You asked me what I wanted to be
and now I think the answer is plain to see,
I wanna be famous.
I wanna live close to the sun,
Go pack your bags, 'cause I've already won,
Everything to prove, nothing in my way
I'll get there one day.
Cause, I wanna be famous!
Na na na na na na na na na na na na!
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
(Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na!)
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
(Whistling in tune)

The scene begins with Trent and Bridgette emerging from the water. "Wow, that was amazing," Trent said excitedly.
"I told you surfing was great."
"I guess it's because I had a good teacher," the guitarist smiled flirtatiously.
"Thank you," the girl said, somewhat blushing.
"I'm going to change and relax for a while, do you want to come?"
"Sure"
The scene cuts to show the two arriving at the cabin area, Courtney was there sitting on the Gophers' stairs. The girl's eyes lit up when she saw Trent.
"Hey Trent i-" The boy ignored her and entered the cabin, leaving Courtney with her head down and letting out a sad sigh. Bridgette who stopped before heading to her cabin to change approaches the C.I.T.
"Hey," the blonde greeted. Courtney raised her head but her face was still sad. "What?"
"I guess they haven't spoken to you yet."
"Yeah…, I have tried to explain to them that I had nothing to do with the robb of Eva's MP3 but they keep avoiding me" Courtney puts her face between her legs and gets into the fetal position hugging her legs.
"Look, I don't think that's the reason they're distant," Bridgette sits next to the girl.
"Then why?" Courtney was exalted.
"Well… you were in alliance with him, it's obvious that they don't trust you, and you didn't tell them that you were in an alliance with him, don't you feel that it's suspicious?."
"Well… I…" Courtney was speechless. "I guess you're right"
Bridgette put a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Hey, I'm sure you three will figure it out. You just have to start the conversation differently. Don't try to excuse yourself. Apologize."
Courtney looked at her for a few seconds. "How do you give such good advice?"
Bridgette laughed quietly, "I don't know, I guess I just put myself in other people's shoes." Not long after, she got up and headed to her respective cabin.
The scene changes to show Gwen sitting on a log writing something in her journal.
"Hey, can we talk?" Gwen raised her head and the camera focused on Courtney who seemed nervous, something unusual for the girl. Gwen didn't say a word, the goth got up and closed her diary to leave. "I came to apologize." Gwen stops and turns to look at the brunette.
"Ok, first I wanted to apologize for not having told you about that alliance I had with Justin, if I had known what he did I would have walked away immediately, I regret not having told you before, I guess I didn't see you as an alliance and more as a friend."
Gwen stood there without responding for a few seconds. "...Look, I'm not that angry with you, but I do feel betrayed in a way."
"Then what can I do?" the C.I.T. asked desperately.
"I don't know but I just need to know that you won't do the same thing again and I don't know how you would prove that." Gwen finally leaves, leaving the girl with a sad sigh.
/
Justin was in his bathing suit and was nervous about entering the jacuzzi more than anything because of one person in particular.
Geoff, Izzy and Lindsay were in the hot tub, they all seemed to be laughing at a joke Geoff told. That atmosphere is cut when Justin enters the jacuzzi and receives judgmental looks from Izzy and Lindsay.
"Geoff, can we have a talk?"
There was silence as Geoff thought, the girls giving the model dirty looks.
Geoff sighs "Okay" The girls give the party boy a look, he just nods his head. The girls get up and leave the jacuzzi.
"Look, I know you're angry at me-"
"Angry! Oh I'm beyond angry, YOU USED ME, I thought we were something but you're just a traitor!"
Justin was speechless and embarrassed.
BZZZZT
"I can't believe I did that to Geoff, I thought it was the best option, no one would suspect the MP3 was in his pockets, but I ruined it, and I also ruined a great relationship with a great guy.
BZZZZT
"I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have done that to you, I ruined everything" Justin was devastated and desperate. "Yes, you did," Geoff replied coldly, the party animal got up and left, leaving the model in the jacuzzi.
/
The scene cuts to show Owen entering the Bass boy´s cabin.
Tyler and Cody were inside playing cards, but when Owen entered the boys' attention focused on him.
"Uh… do I have something on my face?" the blonde laughed nervously. "Really dude?! How could you do that? Steal?!"
Owen looked away embarrassed "I didn't know he wanted to steal the MP3, he told me Eva lent it to him and asked me to look for it when she left the cabin." the blonde excused himself.
"You didn't think it was something suspicious?" Cody asks.
"Honestly… No, I was distracted by his eyes," Owen confesses.
Cody and Tyler look at each other and nod in agreement. "Well, you're right about that, his eyes are dreamy, but that's no excuse," the jock said.
"I know…" the crestfallen blonde said embarrassedly.
"Well look that doesn't matter now, we need a way to vote for Duncan if we lose today's challenge." Cody commented. "Why?" Owen asked.
"Well first he's not a team player, you saw how he didn't stop any of us when we separated from the others in the previous challenge, besides being mean to most of us, remember how he treated us when we were in his alliance" Cody explained.
"Ok… that's fair" Tyler says. "Yeah… I think it is" Owen replied.
/
The change zooms out of the cabin to show Duncan listening to this conversation. His face was one of annoyance.
BZZZZT
"The good thing about when you are a criminal is to always be aware of everything, to make an escape plan, or in this case a salvation plan"
BZZZZT
Duncan was on the stairs of the Bass cabin, the boy was carving a piece of wood with his knife when Owen came out of the room, "Hey big guy, how are you doing?" Punk asked the blonde kindly.
"Oh… Duncan… How are you?" he responded nervously.
"Well, I wanted to ask you if you wanted to form an alliance with me, Tyler and Cody are very close, they will soon eliminate the others, and they also get along well with Bridgette which means that after me you and Katie are clear targets." Duncan continued carving the piece of wood, Owen seemed nervous at this. "Uh… I guess so…" he replied.
"Well, you know I'm always open for an alliance." The punk said, leaving the blonde in doubt.
/
Katie was sitting on the dock, looking quite sad and sighing.
BZZZZT
Katie was in the confessional with "When three days ago Beth was eliminated, Gwen and Trent told everything she said at the bonfire ceremony, at first I couldn't believe that Owen would do something like that but when he confirmed it himself it was... disappointing" He finished his confessional with a sigh.
BZZZZT
"Hey, are you okay?" a familiar voice called her, the camera focused on Bridgette in her normal outfit, Trent was next to her.
"Not…. Not really" Katie let out another sigh "I don't know what to do, Owen… Argh… why did he do that?"
"Well he told us that he was hypnotized. I know it's not an excuse but I guess it's an explanation" Bridgette responded.
"It's just that I... Argh, I don't know why I'm so angry."
"I guess it's jealousy," said the blonde.
"What- how did you know" Katie asked surprised.
"It's kind of obvious, honestly," Trent chimed in, scratching the back of his head.
Katie sighs again "I know that shouldn't be the reason why I feel angry but I can't not feel angry…"
"Look… your feelings are valid… Did you talk to him about this?" Bridgette asked, she had put her arm around Katie for comfort.
"No…"
"Well, try to talk about it. It's better to try to clear things up." Bridgette gave the girl a comforting smile. "I guess you're right. Thank you"
"It's no big deal"
"No really, thank you for not pushing me aside even when you knew what I did" Bridgette makes a confused face at this. "When I voted for DJ I thought you wouldn't come any closer"
"Oh Katie… don't really worry, as much as I felt bad I can't control who you vote for and I have to respect that" Katie gives the blonde a hug and gets up.
"Thank you again, bye," the girl says goodbye to the couple.
"You're great, you know that right?" Trent says when they're alone.
Bridgette blushed at this comment. "Don't exaggerate, I just like to help."
"That's what I like the most about you."

The footage cut back to the thirteen campers on the amphitheater stage, sitting in three tiers with makeshift desks in front of them and a varied assortment of chairs. The highest tier was reserved for the most of the Gophers, with Gwen, Trent, Lindsay and Justin. The middle one with Courtney, Izzy, Geoff, Katie and Owen. while the rest of the Bass, Bridgette, Duncan, Tyler and Cody had the lowest row to themselves.
"Welcome to your next challenge!" Chris told them from off-screen. "The time-honored game of torture: Say Uncle!" He slid into view from the left, facing the camera with his usual grin.
"You are all about to be put through tests of endurance," the host continued, "so insane that some of 'em sent our interns to the emergency room." Each row of campers was shown looking shocked, scared, or simply wary. "If you back down from the challenge or do not last the required ten seconds," Chris explained as a scowl formed briefly on his face, "you will be eliminated! The winner the last standing"
"What kinds of torture?" Cody asks concerned.
""Why don't you ask my lovely assistant!" Chris told him jovially, motioning to Chef who stood nearby in a hockey mask with a butcher's knife in his hand. "Alright," the host told the campers once they calm down a little bit, "let's do this!" The camera panned across the teens, then cut back to the host as he moved next to a large wooden wheel that stood upright and divided into sixteen sections, each with a small picture near the rim.
"Courtney, you're up first! Let's spin the 'Wheel of Misfortune' to select your torture!" Chris gave the wheel a spin, and a tune reminiscent of a game show theme played in the background. The arrow landed in an image of an eel. "Electric eel!" Chris announced excitedly.
The footage advanced to show Courtney in a reclining chair looking visibly nervous.
"All you have to do," the host told Courtney "Is to resist 10 seconds being electrocuted by these eels" Chris explained, The camera focuses on Chef at the mention of the eels.
Another flash forward shows the C.I.T being electrocuted. Little complaints could be heard from her but Courtney stood her ground and didn't back down.
"And Courtney moves on to the next round!" Chris announced. "Isn't this fun?"
"Yes, a lot of fun." The girl said sarcastically.
"Whoa, that looked pretty tough," Tyler commented to Cody, "Yeah, I hope at least we get something less painful than that." replied the geek.
"Next up," Chris announced as he walked past the wheel, "Duncan! Your torture is..." He gave it a spin, and the game show tune began again. "The Bees torture! Duncan, You'll have to let this hive of bees get on your body."
Duncan snorted "Whatever, child's game" said the punk trying to hide his fear.
The images advance to show Duncan with a worried face while the bees land on his chest and shoulders. An alarm sounds indicating that 10 seconds have passed.
"Wow dude, that looked uncomfortable," Geoff said to Izzy. "I know right" Izzy replied excitedly.
"Well done, Duncan. Since you didn't even complain once, you get to choose who goes next."
Duncan looked at the seated teenagers from the other team. "Izzy" he finally said to the surprise of several.
"Yes, bring it in." Izzy exclaimed, jumping from her place doing a pirouette to land next to Duncan.
"Another thing, if your victim can last ten seconds without saying uncle, you get eliminated instead" announces Chris. Everyone gasps at this. Duncan looked worried for a moment.
The scene cut to show the red-haired girl eating ice cream, "Yummy, taste like ice cubes" but before she could continue she froze and fell to the ground.
Duncan let out a sigh of relief.
"Sorry Izzy," Chris told her, "but I'm afraid 9.99999 seconds just doesn't cut it! You're out, and can return to your new seat." The chair in the middle of Courtney and Geoff was instantly swapped out for open stocks.
The wheel spun again, landing on a picture of a skunk. "Katie, you're next!" Chris announced, and the footage skipped forward to the sweet girl jumping an alternating line of small rocks and skunks. She was nervous but in the end she was able to do it, her teammates cheered for her and some others were surprised.
"¡Yes! I did it" the girl screamed excitedly.
The spins and challenges began to alternate. Owen went first and looked terrified when a woodpecker started pecking his wooden pants. Cody was seen screaming when melted marshmallow was put on his face. Then we cut to Trent who had big headphones on, his face was a desperate one.
The wheel was spun again, landing on what appeared to be several ants. "Our next challenge will be," Chris announced, "The Ant torture"
The camera focused on Chef who had an ant nest in a glass box. "Trent endured the torture of 'New Age music' like a champ so you decide who does the next challenge."
BZZZZT
"But at what cost" Trent said in the confessional with a traumatized face, as well as cringe at the memory of the music. "Definitely not my kind of music."
BZZZZT
"Well… I guess… Tyler?" the guitarist said uncertainty.
BZZZZT
Duncan was in the confessional with his legs spread and arms crossed. "I thought he would choose me but I guess he didn't want to take the risk and decided to go with someone easy."
BZZZZT
"Me WHY?!" Tyler wondered in the confessional.
BZZZZT
The scene cuts to show Tyler terrified and shaking with nerves, the timer showing 2 seconds left. Sweat could be seen coming out of his skin and when the counter reached 10 seconds the boy began to scream and try to get rid of the ants that were biting him.
"Well," Chris announced as the bell rang, "looks like Tyler managed to hold on after all! One bad choice on Trent's part, and it cost him the game!"
Trent and his seat disappeared below the makeshift tables, only for the boy to pop up moments later in stocks. He groaned.
"Now, let's see who showed less courage than Tyler and cried 'Uncle'!" Chris said with a grin.
Several clips flashed by.
Chef forcefully pulled out Bridgette's nose hairs while she suffered in the same reclining chair Courtney used. "A little personal hygiene never hurts," the host mocked.
The next Clip showed Lindsay in a barrel full of leech, "A barrel of leeches a day is good for the soul" Chris said, she was trying to hold on but 3 seconds before overcoming the torture the blonde jumps out of the barrel with a scream.
Justin being strangled by a giant snake. "Looks like Justin is having trouble with his new friend," Chris taunted again.
The next Clip showed Cody rolling with a bear on top of a log in the water. "Molotov the Bear performs with the Russian national circus and has been the European log-rolling champion for the past twelve years."
Cody fell into the water after a few seconds.
"Unfortunately for the Bass Cody did not complete his challenge."
"Gwen it's your turn, oh well it looks like you'll have to spend ten seconds in a wooden box with the Sasquatchanakwa."
"Sasquat-What!" she asked in dismay.
Gwen gulped as she was going to enter the box but before opening the door a voice called her "Wait! I want to take her place." Courtney stood up from her seat, many of the others let out gasps of surprise.
"Courtney I don't need-"
"Gwen I know you don't want my help but you won't stop me, I can do this."
"Well, if you insist, I don't see why not, I'll enjoy it anyway," Chris said.
Gwen returned to her seat, Courtney inhaled and exhaled before entering. "Hey, can you say hi to him for me, I haven't seen him in days!" Izzy shouted excitedly. Courtney just shook her head and ignored her.
When the C.I.T entered the box, shouts were heard, "Oh don't even think about it, you hairy monster! I'm in charge here!" Noises of the Sasquatchnakwa were also heard. But after 5 seconds Courtney breaks the box due to a punch she received. The girl falls to the ground, her hair is disheveled and her chest is in great pain. She left a hole shaped like her body in the box.
Everyone gasped in surprise and fear at this "Court!" Gwen shouted worriedly, the goth ran towards the brunette and knelt down to grab her in her arms, "That was stupid, thank you."
Courtney only moaned in pain in response. Gwen helped her up and walked to her already changed seat.
A shot from a distance we can see that only Duncan, Tyler, Geoff and Gwen were left standing, everyone else was there.
The next Clip was shown, Duncan was the goalkeeper of a net while Chef threw turtles at him, one of which hit the lower part of his pelvis, making the punk scream in pain.
Another Clip showed Geoff in a chair terrified before the Chef who was trying to cut his hair with a chainsaw. The partygoer ran to his chair before the Chef began.
"After so many rounds of torture, we're down to two steely competitors and the sudden death round." The host announced.
BZZZZT
"Well, I guess since I've come this far, I have to win for my team," Gwen commented in her confessional.
BZZZZT
It was Tyler's turn "Woohoo!, That's what I'm talking about bro, I knew I would go far, I have received many pain in my life, I can withstand several things"
BZZZZT
"Gwen , it's up to you. Your final challenge is… The Poison ivy spa treatment"
"THAT! But-" Gwen was clearly nervous.
"You don't have to do it Gwen, it's okay really," Trent told her.
"What he said," Courtney said breathlessly.
The camera focused on Justin who swallowed nervously.
The camera focused again on the gothic woman, she was indecisive, the sweat could be seen from afar. "I…" She started nervously, everyone was waiting for her response, "I accept." Several gasps of surprise were heard, especially from the Basses, who several thought that the girl was not going to do it.
In a flash transition, Gwen is seen leaning on the chair previously used by Courtney and Bridgette.
The host smiled as the Chef brought out a cart with a bowl of leaves. When the timer started, Chef got to work wrapping her face in the poisonous leaves. The Chef walks away when he finishes and everyone watches her attentively, small moans are heard. In a suspenseful shot, clips alternately focus on the chronometer and Gwen, and the others watching her in suspense.
"And Gwen wins!" Chris announced as the timer reached 10, the bell rang one last time, and triumphant music rose in the background.
All her teammates cheered, when Chef removed the poison ivy the cheering stopped, the teens faces became worried when they saw what the gothic girl's face looked like.
Gwen's face was swollen and red from poison ivy. "It wasn't worth it," the Goth said painfully.
/
The scene changed to show Tyler, Cody and Owen at the lodge, "Well… It's decided then, we'll vote for Duncan tonight" Cody said.
"I don't know, he's good at challenges…" Owen said as he scratched the back of his head nervously. "He has a point, Cody," Tyler said.
"So who should we vote for, we all get along," Cody replied.
"Not everyone… Katie sure won't want to talk to me anymore, I ruined things with her." Owen said sadly.
"Sad to hear that dude"
"Okay, I'll go for a walk, I ran out of food" Owen stood up, leaving the two boys.
Owen walked a few steps out of the lodge until he met Katie.
"Oh… Katie…." Owen was nervous, he didn't know what to do in this situation.
"Owen… I was looking for you," the girl began nervously.
"Oh really?"
"Yeah!" replied Katie "Well… I think we need to talk about, well you know what."
"Oh… sure"
/
The scene cut to show Bridgette helping Trent by putting cream on Courtney and Gwen's wounds. They were on the stairs of the Gophers' cabin.
"Well at least there weren't more serious injuries" Trent joked nervously. The girls looked at him indicating that the joke didn't go down well. "Or maybe not."
"Don't worry Courtney, you didn't get a contusion or anything… well just a black eye but nothing extremely alarming" said Bridgette, who was bandaging the girl's left hand because she was injured when she fell. The C.I.T also had a bandage on her head. "Thank you Bri-bri."
"You definitely need to rest." Bridgette helped her to get up and they entered the cabin together.
"Well what Courtney did today…" Gwen commented as Trent finished applying ointment.
"Yes I guess… Do you think she's trustworthy?"
"We can't be sure but I think I have faith that she is sorry."
"I think you're right"
Bridgette came back and sat next to Gwen. "I think we should put you in bed too, you need to rest," Bridgette takes Gwen's arm but she gently removes it. "Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'm not blind," she said as kindly as she could, although being her it was a bit difficult.
Bridgette watched her enter the cabin to make sure she was okay, when she turned to talk to Trent she noticed that he was opening and closing the ointment container repeatedly.
"Uh… what are you doing?" The surfer asked, confused.
Trent startled when he heard the surfer's voice. "Hey... I... well... I was just bored and well, I played with this, I didn't think it was forbidden."
"No, that's not what I meant, I just thought it was something strange."
"Yeah… weird…" Trent looked away.
"Well, it's getting dark, I have to go to the elimination ceremony."
"Good Luck!" Trent raised his hand to high-five the surfer.
"Thanks" Bridgette high-fived him and left.
/
"Wow, well I guess it's good to know you didn't want to do it."
"Yes… I never thought that Justin would lie to me to steal."
"Well, I wanted to explain to you why I have avoided you" Owen became attentive to this. "Well… I was kind of jealous of the situation," Katie said. Owen was left with a confused expression.
"I know it sounds silly but I guess I felt jealous when I found out that Justin flirted with you to manipulate you, I'm sorry." explained the sweet girl.
"Oh… Wait! That means that you, like me?."
"Yeah…wait, aren't you mad about the ridiculous jealousy I had?" Katie was incredulous.
"Why would I be? You like me! And I like you"
"Oh really? "I thought there was another girl."
"You're the girl!" the blonde said excitedly. Owen hugged Katie and lifted her up in celebration. This celebration ended when they heard a fake cough coming from Duncan.
"Hey, congratulations, I guess that confirms that Bridgette will be gone in a few days," Duncan said with a smile.
"What are you talking about, I would never vote for Bridgette, she is my friend." Katie says.
"Yeah, she is so nice." Owen intervened.
"Well you'll have to vote for her or one of the two idiots, you know because if you don't the next time you lose one of you will be voted for, of course if Bridgette doesn't choose you but I'm sure she will, unless she still remembers when. You helped me vote for DJ, but well, I guess maybe I'll forget now…" Duncan mocked.
Katie and Owen looked at each other. "Oh you always have the option to vote for Cody or Tyler and make sure neither of them are in danger" After this comment Duncan walked away. Leaving the couple speechless.
BZZZZT
"I Know Bridgette doesn't hold any gruoches but it is still true that we can be the next ones out" says Katie in the confessional.
BZZZZT
/
"Okay. So first up, we ran out of marshmallows." announced Chris.
"Noooooo!" Owen screams in pain.
"This ceremony will be different," Chris pulls some small sheets of paper out of his pocket. "I will count the votes that everyone got."
Several seemed nervous at this.
"Those who did not receive any votes and are safe tonight are…." The tension music was heard sooner than usual.
"...Bridgette, Katie and Tyler. They are safe" The three let out a sigh of relief but remained expectant for the others.
"the votes are divided 3-2-1, the camper who received one vote was…"
"..."
"..."
"...Owen" The boy let out a sigh like the rest.
"And with 3 votes the person eliminated is…"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"¡Cody!"
Bridgette, Cody, and Tyler gasped in surprise at this. "But-! I… Argh"
"Bye bye geek, it would have been better if you didn't leave my alliance, maybe you would still be here" Duncan mocked him. Cody, fed up with the punk, hit him in the face with all his strength, making him fall.
"Well… that was satisfying," Cody scoffed.
The scene cut to Cody saying goodbye to everyone on the dock, "No holding any grouches" said the geek giving everyone a fistbump.
"Just promise something, don't let Duncan win."
To this he received several nods and thumbs up. Tyler seemed sadder than the others.
"Hey dude its fine, i'm sure you will get far" Cody and Tyler hug each other.
The scene cuts again to show Cody going away on the boat of losers.
/
Justin was on his bed watching Geoff and Trent talk about today's challenge.
The model looked sadly at the blonde, who glanced at him for a brief moment before refocusing on Trent. Justin sighed and turned away.
Authors Note:
And with that episode 11 is done, this episode was something strange to write, is shorter than normal but that is because in this canon episode almost half of it is the introduction of the returning competitors, I did not extend the challenge but I did put it an extra challenge to make it sixteen and even.
Cody was definitely a character that I didn't know how to integrate 100%, he did have good connections and his rivalry with Duncan was fun to write but I think I could do a little more with him although I always have that feeling when someone is eliminated.
Well with this chapter published I recommend you wait for the second chapter of my new Total Drama Low-Budget series.
