Klaas and Wyatt's interviews/Rank-Em-Bank-Em written by Zoryan El Muerto
Becky's interview/Will's scene/Challenge and Popularity Vote written by FreshmEn
The guitar riff began to play as the letters 'TDSA' appeared on the screen before showing the previous four eliminations.
"Oh well," Klaas scampered off, stepping into the cage before it was hauled off into the ocean.
"At least I get something..." Wyatt mumbled.
As the island and Kodi became smaller and smaller in Will's perspective, the twin blushed as he looked down at the mask...
Becky then went over to the floater and stayed silent as she floated away from the island.
The screen cut back to the letters before showing a shot of Alex, May, and the previous losers in the aftermath studio, with the subtitle 'Total Drama Sakamannano Aftermath' above them.
Intro Start
Multiple cameras popped out from surfboards, tiki torches, statues of Drew, and other objects on the island. The camera then flew past Drew, Pamela, and Hack, with the former two arguing about something and the latter drinking from a barrel of rum.
"Dear mom and dad I'm doing fine, You guys are on my mind." The Camera went up the dead volcano, revealing Kaito setting up some of his stargazing equipment, and Vanessa helping him out.
"You asked me what I wanted to be, and now I think the answer is plain to see." The camera jumped down into the volcano, where Timothy was listening in on Kaito and Van's conversation with a radio. In addition to Timothy being there, Wane was checking the cages of shame for any lost coins or valuables.
"I wanna be famous." Wane dusted off one of the cages, revealing that Alex somehow got trapped inside. Wane tipped the cage over and kicked Alex out, before hopping inside of it to search for valuables.
"I wanna live close to the sun." The camera then made a cut to inside the mess hall, where Kodi was teaching Will how to play Chambers and Beasts at a table, with Will shaking his head and pretending to understand how to play the game.
"So pack your bags, 'cause I've already won." The camera moved outside where Melissa and Beatrice were chatting together.
"Everything to prove, nothing in my way." To the left of Melissa and Beatrice, May was walking until Paige jumped out of the bushes, scaring the daydreamer.
"I'll get there one day." The camera moved towards the nearby Hilahala hut, where Wyatt and Flora were both petting Spirit's belly.
"Cause I wanna be famous." On the other side of the area where the Haaheo mansion was, Klaas and King were playing a match of poker, with almost all of the chips being on King's side.
"Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na." Moving away from the hut and the mansion, Persephone and Sasha could be seen arguing about something.
"I wanna be, I wanna be famous." The camera jumped over to the beach of the island, where an oil-covered Brandon could be seen fixing up an old boat. Behind him, Elizabeth was pretending to be a scarecrow.
"I wanna be, I wanna be famous." Finally, the camera moved over to Becky, who was writing down song lyrics in a notepad. Becky turned around and noticed the camera, elbowing it to the ground for privacy. The shot was then cut to Buck, Mitch, Carlton, and Billy, who all set the camera down for the final shot, as they got the camera in position they ran behind Drew, causing the camera to flash and take a photo of all of everyone previously seen. The screen moved back to show the photo on a postcard that read 'Aloha from Hawaii!" with whistling accompanying it.
Intro End
The lights were bright as the second aftermath of the season started, the same stage was set up with Persephone and Kaito in the peanut gallery bleachers. Persephone was holding back a fanboy with a stick in the background as the camera zoomed in on Alex and May as a voice announced, "Welcome back to the Total Drama Sakamannano Aftermath, here are your hosts... Alex Parker and May Summers!"
The hosts waved to the cheering crowd, well Alex did while May was zoned out. Alex then snapped his fingers to snap his cohost out of her daydream, "May, we're on."
"Oh sorry." She shook her head, "Aloha people in attendance...and viewers at home. We've reached the midway point of this season... and boy what a wild ride the...zzzzz... last few episodes have been."
"Indeed May, we've had ATV races, the interns taking up hosting duties, and Becky's secret getting exposed to the world." as Alex said this, everyone heard a loud crash followed by a heavy metal death scream. "She's still not happy about that."
"Has Becky ever been happy on this show?" May asked.
Alex shrugged, "And last, an actual real-life shark fight. Anyway, we have a huge night planned for this show, with so much in store for y'all."
May stands up in serious mode, "Interviews with the gambling guru Klaas, bear-taking park ranger Wyatt, Alex's brother Will, and of course the hotheaded metal musician Becky. Along with a new addition of 'OWIE WOWIE', a new segment called Rank Em, Bank Em where we each of the contestants' probability of winning the million dollars based on you guys' responses to a tweet sent out by our head producers, and lastly we determine not one, but two members of the peanut gallery that will get one last chance to vie for one million dollars. One via a popularity poll we started yesterday, and one via a redemption challenge at the end of the night."
Alex chuckled at May, "That's right May, it's going to be jampacked. So, let's get started on our first interview of the day, he was a boy from Amsterdam that became one of the high-ranking players of poker in Europe. Give it up for Klaas Driessen."
The crowd clapped as Klaas walked on stage, sitting down on the interview chair.
An audience member asked the person next to them, "Is his name spelled with a C or a K?"
The other audience member answered, "Honestly I completely forgot who he even was. Was he the one with the bear?"
Klaas rolled his eyes as he sat down, "Thank you for having me, guys." Klaas shook hands with Alex and May.
"You're welcome Klaas, so how's it been going since you got out?" Alex wondered.
"Oh it's been... something. Not proud that I got out early, but it just makes me want to play harder and plan for the next season that could potentially come around." Klaas chuckled as he winked at Persephone, who looked away with a frown.
"Already, let's get onto our questions," Alex looked to his side as a fan came up to a microphone.
"So um, Klaas was it?" the fan questioned, "So... what did you plan on doing with the money after you won?"
Klaas chuckled, "Well, I haven't put that much thought into it. But probably go to either Vegas or Monte Carlo, I hear they have intense poker tournaments."
"Are you sure?" Alex wondered.
"Positive, I've got it down to a science," Klaas pulled out a deck of cards. "The key is to find the perfect poker face, which isn't an easy feat."
"And what face would that be?" May asked the poker player.
"You don't want your face to have too much confidence, that will give the impression you have a great hand. Until your four kings are trounced by four aces, you also don't want to show too much fear." Klaas leaned forward a little, "The best players can practically smell it." He then sat back as he shuffled his cards, "You want a medium of sorts, not too much of either."
"Interesting, moving on," Alex pulled up another question. "This one is from a guy in Sweden, Klaas. Does it bother you that some people see you as the 'Who is that' guy?"
Klaas smirked, "No... it doesn't bother me in the slightest... it's rather convenient."
"Wha?" Alex and May questioned.
"What?" Klaas repeated, causing the two to shrug.
"Moving on," May pulled up another question, "Here we have one from LordGemini, 'Who was your favorite teammate and who did you hate the most?' I've got a pretty good guess on who's the worst."
Klaas rubbed his forehead and sighed, "Ugh, that Wane fellow is truly something else, I can't think of anyone I dislike more than him. But as for my favorite, I suppose I'd say Sasha for her intelligence, even if she betrayed me in the ATV race."
Alex let out a small chuckle, "It's pretty funny how nobody likes Wane and yet he still remains in the game."
"Yes that is quite the feat..." Klaas put his hand on his chin, "I wonder how much longer he'll be able to last."
"Well, anyways, next up is a question from Nobody245, "I noticed you're quite the-" Alex was cut off by May whispering something in his ear, "What? Already?" Alex put the question down as May nodded and whispered something else, "Sorry Klaas, looks like our interview time has been cut down significantly to make up for everything else today."
Klaas raised an eyebrow, "I've only answered two questions, I feel like this could go on for longer."
May shrugged, "The producers decided you'd make the least interesting interview so they gave you the... shortest one, sorry..."
Klaas groaned as he got up to sit down with the rest of the peanut gallery, "Judging on what her question most likely was, it seems more convenient for me..."
"So what are we doing now?" Alex asked May as she pointed up at the screen, "Oh I see... Well folks, it looks like it's time for part two of 'OWIE WOWIE', so let's go over to that now!"
The crowd cheered as the screen switched to show the footage of contestants being injured.
OWIE WOWIE
The first scene showed Wane setting up his ship's cannon, he put the cannonball in and lit the fuse. He covered his ears as he waited for the boom, but there was no boom. Confused, he checked the inside of the cannon, which went off and sent Wane overboard into the water.
The second scene was during the ATV challenge, where Elizabeth and King were waiting for their rides. The scarecrow then asked King, "Hey, wanna see a trick?" she pulled out five potatoes and tried to juggle them while moving, only to trip on a rock and fall over. The potatoes then hit her on the head, except for one that landed on King's head, which lead to him letting out an annoyed groan. Elizabeth got up and dusted herself off, "I really need to find time to practice that in between scarecrow shifts."
The third scene showed Wane carrying a load of metal beams for his part of the bunker during that challenge, only for him to drop them on his foot "OWWOOWOWOWOWWOWO!" he hobbled on his one foot "MY &% FOOT! WHAT &%&% GENIUS PUT A *(& ROCK IN MY * PATH SO I CAN DROP THE &$* BARS?! DON'T YOU SEE I HAVE A # FOOT! *%*&*&*%&*#& I #Y# GRABBING *#%*#&*#& ROCK #*#&*#!" The chickens, the frogs, the hosts, and the interns were all staring at Wane during his swear-filled rant.
The segment ended with Timothy stepping away from Kodi and Flora with the fishing rod in his hand, he went to try and fish for the shark. But the hook latched onto his belt loop, and he pulled so hard he ended up throwing himself off the boat and into one of the lifeboats. He wrestled with the fishing line until he wounded up getting all tangled in the up in fishing line, "THIS IS YOUR FAULT MELISSA!" Timothy cried, the sports girl rolling her eyes at the childish words from the snooper.
We return to the hosts as they prepared to introduce the next guest, "Those were some rough spots." Alex said, "Anyway, time for our second guest of the aftermath. This guy had his pet bear stowed away with him, and was disqualified after it caused panic during the trivia challenge. Give it up for Wyatt and Spirit the Bear!"
The crowd cheered as Wyatt walked on stage, followed by Spirit crawling behind him and lying on Wyatt's lap as he sat down. The crowd cooed at the little ursa as he cutely growled, "Awwwwww." Wyatt patted Spirit's head as the bear nuzzled into Wyatt's lap.
"Well Wyatt, can't say we've ever had a situation like yours in a Total Drama season," Alex said.
"Well, there's always a first." Wyatt rubbed Spirit before Spirit sadly purred as Wyatt told his pet, "Buddy, you know I don't blame you for costing me the season."
"So Wyatt, after several episodes of... trying to hide Spirit, things went sideways for you." May stated before she dozed off, Alex shakes her back into reality "Why were you trying to hide him anyway?"
"Well, I was worried that any outside critters would have been against the rules." Wyatt looked down at Spirit as he scratched his belly. "I swear I have no idea how this little guy escaped his bear sitters."
"Even though you do know that you're on a reality show with several hidden cameras that document everything that goes on, even with what goes on with Spirit right?" Alex questioned.
This made Wyatt and Spirit go wide-eyed, "You mean... Drew-"
"Knew all along, thought your little... hide the bear routine made good comedy gold... Though you guys do owe money in...property damage for what Spirit did at the host mansion."
Wyatt looked down at Spirit who somehow was able to make a whistling sound, "I swear one of these days I'm gonna have to get a leash for you." Spirit lowly growled at the notion.
"Anyway, let's get on with the questions." Alex pulled up a fan question, "Okay this first one is from Alexneushoorn, 'Wyatt, do you hold any resentment towards Beatrice for causing you to get disqualified? What will you say to her once you meet her again?'"
Wyatt sighed, "Starting off with that huh?" The park ranger scratched his head, "Look, what happened is no one's fault. I'm sure Beatrice didn't mean to get me axed from the season; I know bears can be scary when they're all grown up and try to steal your picnic baskets. If I see her again, I just hope we can clear any potential animosity. Tell her I don't blame her." he looked down at Spirit, "And I don't blame you either." Spirit gave Wyatt a guilty hug, which Wyatt returned.
"Awww." May smiled as she grabbed another question, "Moving on, from Nobody245. 'Wyatt, How much faith do you have in Paige to win the game?'" she asked.
Wyatt chuckled, "Uh, plenty. Have you seen her stealth? Not only that but she's also a really great friend, I can see her winning it all."
"Nyohoho, you must think of Paige very highly, hmmmmmmm?" wondered the girl with the heart sweater from the previous aftermath as she stood behind the couch and the hosts looked at her.
"How did you get back here?" Alex questioned.
"Well, sure. She helped keep Spirit entertained in between challenges, and we get along great." Wyatt answered the question while Alex and May looked at the fan in confusion.
"So did you two ever-"
"No." Wyatt interrupted the fan, "We're just really good friends, that's all we'll ever be. Besides, she told Spirit that she's not looking for a partner."
The fan snapped her fingers before running away from the security that went after her, the hosts watched her escape "Well that happened." Alex watched the sight before grabbing a question, "Anyway, another question from fans. Wyatt, have you taught Spirit any tricks?"
"I may have taught him a few things during work." Wyatt held up Spirit, "Ready to show em Spirit."
"Rawr." Spirit roared before Wyatt sat him on the floor.
"Spirit, stand," Wyatt called, Spirit stood up on his hind paws. "Shake." Wyatt held out his hand, which Spirit shook. Wyatt took out a water bottle and a cup, Spirit then grabbed the bottle with his teeth before pouring it into the cup. A stagehand then brought over a barrel, which Spirit rolled across the stage. Wyatt then went over to a net that a different stagehand set up, which Spirit climbed up to reach a bell at the top, with Spirit finishing the trick by slapping the bell to ring it. The crowd applauded this feat.
"Give it up for Wyatt and Spirit everyone!" Alex stated as Wyatt waved to the crowd and he went over to the peanut gallery with Spirit on his back. "Well folks, that was some interview. I can bear-ly contain my excitement!" Alex joked, only to be met with the sound of crickets and silence, and an annoyed growl from Spirit.
Wyatt deadpanned at Spirit, who cutely growled at him. Wyatt sighed, "He finds bear puns to be demeaning."
"Noted." Alex winced as he scooted sideways, "Well it's time for Will's interview right?"
May shook her head, "Well... we have to announce our sponsor first."
"Another one-" Alex slapped his face and groaned.
"Pr. Squatch..." May announced as the screen displayed a bar of soap with a sasquatch smoking a pipe on the cover. "The next innovation in personal hygiene!" May tried to look excitement before she and Alex were now in a shower, with all of their normal clothes on.
"How did-" Alex wondered as May continued holding up a Pr. Squatch bar.
"Pr. Squatch soap is in made entirely of all-natural ingredients for a fresh and clean experience," May said as she started to scrub Alex's shirt with the soap.
"Uh I'm pretty sure this isn't how it works." Alex worried as May kept scrubbing as suds began forming.
"Most other soap brands and body wash contain harmful chemicals that can dry out your skin, this Summer Citrus bar is made with olive, sustainable palm, and coconut oil, shea butter, natural lemon fragrance, lemon essential oil, pumice powder, annatto powder, kaolin clay, and sea salt." May listed off the ingredients, "You know you should really... try helping out with the ad by taking off your shirt and rubbing it on your body..."
"Wait wha?" Alex looked at May before he got a whiff of the soap smell, "Huh... not bad."
The camera cut to Alex and May who were now in towels... that were still over their normal clothes, "Get that and the Summer citrus deodorant for extra smelly areas." May added as she rubbed the deodorant under Alex's armpits. "Pr. Squatch has dozens of scents, Pine Tar, Coconut Castaway, Bay Rum, Cool Fresh Aloe, Alpine Sage, and... Fresh Falls, and that's not even going into their seasonal bars like the... Bricc of the Dead during Halloween. And the Christmas season's Snowy Pine and Frosty Peppermint."
"Could be useful for all the mud puddles and dumpsters that I fall into on the regular," Alex deadpanned as he grabbed a bar.
They returned to the stage, though Alex was covered in soap bubbles, "And they have loads of bundle plans if you ever want more, go to the Pr. Squatch site and use the promo code SakaSquatch for 40% off with free... shipping and handling." May announced
The screen now had all of the information including the website and how to pay with the promo code, "That's SakaSquatch to get 40% off on your order..." Alex finishes off the ad. "Now please can we get to our next interview?" Alex suddenly got a call on his headset, "He's what?" he looked to May, "Uh give me a minute, can you do... Becky's interview while I take care of this?" he then went off backstage as May looked at the crowd.
"Um... looks like next up is a band member, a local Timothy... hater, and someone who's probably way too angry to talk right now... it's Becky..." May announced nervously as she waited for Alex to return.
"Oj god oh god oh god oh god!" Will paced around a room he and Becky were in with a worried look on his face, "They're gonna ask me what happened during the show, and I can't deal with answering that right now, and then I'm gonna have to try explaining it while Alex is watching and I don't think I can do that, what do I do Becky!?"
"Relax already weak blood." Becky rolled her eyes as she heard May calling her to the stage, "Ugh, let's get this over with." Becky walked out of the room while Alex walked into the room to see Will's worried face.
Alex waved at Will to get his attention, "Hey Will..."
Will gave a very forced smile, "Oh-uh-um hey Alex! Long time no-" Will was cut off by Alex pulling him into a huge hug, "I...'
Alex teared up as he kept Will next to him, "I'm sorry Will..."
"Sorry? I should be the one apologizing to you!" Will told Alex and returned the hug, "I should've been playing to win for your sake but the moment you left I just sat around and did nothing!"
"I never noticed how you were like this Will. I always took for my brother who was happy twenty-four seven and I never actually looked deeper to see that wasn't the case." Alex apologized, "But you know... I'm proud of you for pulling yourself out of it... that you got to start being happy again without relying on me."
Will teared up as well, "I screwed it all up though, I lost my cool at the end! How can you be proud of that."
Alex pulled himself back, "I know it was a messy thing that happened, but I think you needed to let out that frustration. Maybe it cost you the game, but it was the last step to being yourself again. I wish you could have one more shot at the competition Will, so you could go back and play like how you wanted to originally..."
Will lightly smiled, "Maybe I can't go back... but... at least I can finally relax a bit... I was so worried about how you'd react to everything after I got eliminated... I didn't think this would happen."
"I'd never be mad about this Will, you're my brother." Alex wiped his face off, "...Let's get back to the stage now, they're probably getting worried about us."
"Yeah..." Will followed Alex as the two headed back to the aftermath stage.
Becky walked onto the stage with a very angry look on her face as May prepared to question her, "Hey... Becky... how's it going?"
"Get... on with this..." Becky ordered May, who grabbed the questions and immediately began to ask Becky her questions, "From lordgemini, we have a few, like... 'whose your favorite band member? Olive or Ivy? You can't say both'.
Becky snarled, "Piss off, I'm not choosing between my bandmates just because you said I should."
"Ok..." May yawned as she read the next question, "They also... ask 'Do you have anything to say to Sasha?'"
Becky took a deep breath, "Sasha... I've dealt with people that try and pry into my personal affairs. Heck, I've had to deal with Timothy on a daily basis. But what you let out on national television for millions of people to hear, led to me being swarmed by those invasive sheeple called the paparazzi that make Timothy look like a gentleman. I'm not mad, I just leave you this message. From now…. Lock your doors and windows, keep a bat on hand, and never fall asleep."
May nervously laughed, "F-Funny... joke Becky."
"That wasn't a joke," Becky replied.
"W-Well the final question from gemini says 'Who is your favorite... boy and why is it Timothy?', yeah... that's a... good..." May stopped to see Becky giving the most horrifying glare known to man, "I-I'll... move on. From Nobody245 we have 'Did anything happen to you after you were eliminated? Specifically... anything about the info revealed on the show?"
Becky crossed her arms, "I already said those dickheads in the paparazzi won't leave me alone now... what else do I need to add?"
May looked at a different question and read it, "Well... here's one from... Alexneushoorn, it says 'Is perhaps your anore-"
"No. This interview is over." Becky got up and walked away right as Alex and Will returned to the stage.
May sighed in relief. "Oh thank... goodness you're back, unfortunately, there's... not enough time for Will's interview."
"I'm okay with that." Will assured as he calmly sat down in the peanut gallery, where he was given back pats and words of encouragement from Wyatt.
"Anyway, now we move onto a new... segment of the Aftermath we like to call... Rank Em, Bank Em!" May announced as game show music played as the graphic appeared on the screen.
"Last night the producers sent out a tweet that asks you the viewers to rank who of the remaining twelve you think will win the million from most to least likely." Alex explained, "And boy did you guys send a bunch of rankings, some with the islanders in varying placements." he said as a stage worker brought out a metal rectangular machine.
"We've put them all into this machine and it calculated the averages of each islander's odds of winning." May explained as she yawned, "For this we're going to go from least likely to the most likely, let's start off with our first predicted loser." The machine made some boops and beeps as on the bottom screen displayed Wane's image of hoarding gold coins, "Wane." The crowd made noises of agreement and non-surprise.
"Honestly, I'm not at all surprised. He was dead last in all the rankings we received." Alex said, "He's rude, lazy, and has barely any allies. Why did he stay over the outed chickens is what I wonder?
Persephone scoffed, "Because they're too busy listening to S-"
"Enough already!" the losers exclaimed to Persephone.
"Don't talk to the queen like-" a fan was about to throw a chair before Persephone glared at the fan to stop before they do something they'll regret. The fan put the chair down before Persephone sighed.
"Anyway, in second to last we have..." the machine then shows Melissa playing basketball. "Melissa," Alex says.
May looked at the result and then back to the audience, "Might seem... surprising." May yawned, "But lately Melissa has been getting a little too caught up in the competition, plus her rivalry with Timothy... has gotten kind of old at this point. Even after Tim's... yaaaaawwwwwwwn... cut back on his snooping, so she's not ranking up any popularity points."
"And as an athlete, she'd be a target," Alex added.
A random fan got up and shouted, "TIMOTHY IS KING!"
"Right." Alex let out before continuing, "Anyway, coming in collective tenth place is..." the machine showed Sasha in the 10th lowest screen, "Sasha."
"Sasha is not only a 'drop-dead hottie', but she's got the IQ of a rocket scientist. Which has to be labeled a threat..." May nearly dazes off, "She's also been seen consorting with her former teammate Brandon, and... with what went down...in the last elimination, pretty sure she's lost most of her connections to the other Chickens..."
The machine then displays Timothy's face in the ninth lowest screen, "Following Sasha, we have Timothy, though he started off as the guy who has little to no understanding of respecting people's personal bubbles. Has helped his team win challenges and might of made a real friend in Flora. Though some may wonder if it's too little to make a real argument for the win."
The machine then places in eighth place... "King, the collective eighth place finisher in this ranking." May says, "Where to start with this guy."
Persephone growls as she glared daggers at the stone-cold narcissist that never bat an eye to her, Alex then stated "King, said in his application to be the personification of perfection. Not at all showing any generosity and humility, King has made no attempt to make any connections on the show. Friends, enemies, nothing. And he rarely if ever contributes to his team's challenges."
"EXACTLY! HE DOESN'T DO ANYTHING OR FEEL ANYTHING!" Persephone yelled, "He literally got this far by being lazy!"
"YEAH!" the fans of Persephone voiced their agreement.
Alex began to whisper to May, "Not sure if they're saying that because it's sort of true or because Persephone said it."
"Maybe it's both?" May shrugged, "But after his excursion facing a shark, his time is under some discussion should his injuries get exasperated." The machine then gave the seventh most likely winner, "Coming in seventh... we have Beatrice, a girl who's been... mostly in the background, she's a friendly girl that has connections to her teammates, especially Brandon, and a knowledge of... ocean fauna. Let's see how she does."
Alex then sees the middle screen display Flora's face, "Right in the center we have Flora."
"That's the queen's pick!" A Persephone fan cried.
May analyzed the result, "Flora is considered by many fans a dark... horse... pick, where she lacks in physical prowess she makes up for it immensely with her ability to befriend almost anyone. Her friendship with Timothy is proof of this..."
"Flora winning is not likely to happen, but we've seen odder winners during Total Drama's run time." Alex spoke as the machine showed the fifth most likely winner, "Brandon is our first in the top five likely winners, and for good reason."
May cracked her neck, "Connections on both sides, fairly fit, and a swell guy. Although... his budding romance with Sasha has raised some... concerns from a certain few of the islanders. Especially Melissa."
The fourth highest screen displays an empty screen, "Is it broken-" Alex says as interrupted by a chibi Paige popping on screen, "Never mind."
May looked unsurprised by this result, "Paige is not only a physical... threat and a very stealthy lady, but she's also... fairly social. With those she's bound to be one of the most consistent girls in... TD history. She'll be one to look out for in merge challenges."
The third highest screen displayed Van taking a selfie, "Getting the Rank Em, Bank Em bronze is our lovely social media star Van. A master of social game and the only one to get Kaito to leave his room." Alex says as Kaito smiled at seeing Van so high.
The second to last screen showed Kodi as his knight persona, with some fan girls and fan boys squealing at how cute he looked. "The second favorite to win is Kodi." May says "This kid is perhaps the Cinderella story of this season, his innocence shines... brighter than a star, and his friendly nature... makes him a social cinnamon bun."
"I know he can win this!" Will clapped for Kodi as the final result was displayed.
Alex and May saw the top screen display, "And what do we have here, the favorite to win is none other than our resident living scarecrow Elizabeth." Alex said as May stood up in serious mode.
"Elizabeth Mikeston started off as a young farm girl that was tasked with keeping the crows from her family's corn supply, nothing else. But her time in the island has morphed her into a social, strong, and stern but fair leader. She's led her team into battle and onto a fairly long win streak, she's kept her eyes set on making sure all the wheels are turning on the Frogs' tractor, and with her recent decision to walk away from Melissa against the raid against Timothy, can she pull of the biggest win of her life?" May nearly passed out from going for so long without dozing off, "Who knows?"
Alex got up and brushed off his hair, "Well, this ranking wasn't the only thing we asked you guys to send in," Alex held his arms out as an intern walked on stage and handed him a piece of paper with all the eliminated contestant's names on it, "We also had you all vote for a contestant you'd like to see return."
"Yeah... a little popularity contest..." May added on as Alex looked at the paper.
"Now then... the contestant who got the most votes to return to the island was none other than..."
Persephone and Klaas looked confident with who it was gonna be, Wyatt seemed slightly confident in his chances, Becky knew she wasn't winning any time soon, Will looked hopeful at the chance to return and make things right, and Kaito looked like he already knew he was going to lose.
"Kaito Kiyora! With an astounding two hundred-twenty-eight thousand, two hundred, sixty-seven votes!" Alex announced as Kaito looked surprised by the outcome, "Your sister really wanted you to go back to the island man."
Kaito looked at the other contestants, "Well, I, didn't think I'd be going back anytime soon... I suppose I can use this chance to make things up to Van..."
"RIGGED!" A Persephone fan yelled as the two aftermath hosts ignored them.
May got up as an intern brought over a baby pool with a bunch of plastic fish in it, "Now... we have a redemption challenge planned for another contestant to return... here in this pool we have a special fish with a small metal coin in its mouth, whoever can find the fish with the coin will be... rewarded with returning to Sakamannano Island..."
Alex grabbed a few fishing rods and started giving them to each of the contestants, "You'll be allowed to start on the count of three..." Alex finished giving everyone their rods, "One..." The losers got ready to send their lines out, "Two..." The audience was dead quiet to see who could get the right fish, "Three!"
The contestants wasted no time looking for the right fish. Immediately, Persephone pulled a fish and checked to see if it was the right one, but there was no coin in its mouth, "Agh!" Persephone tossed the fish away and went back to looking for the right one.
"Right... here!" Wyatt pulled a fish up as Spirit happily watched him play, "Nope, nothing."
"Is this it?" Will got a fish and was disappointed to find it was not the correct one.
Becky quickly grabbed a fish and wasn't surprised to see it was incorrect.
"It should be..." Klaas analyzed each fish before picking one, "Here!" Klaas was wrong as the fish he pulled wasn't right.
Kaito watched the five go at it while he waited to see who would be returning with him. Everyone was pulling fish and tossing them away, slowly making the pool less filled with the wrong fish.
"I think..." Someone pulled a fish and looked inside its mouth and found the coin, "I got it! I got it!" The person yelled out as Alex went to see if it was true.
The aftermath host looked at the fish and sure enough, it had a coin in its mouth, "We have a winner!" Alex yelled out, causing everyone to stop, "Congratulations to Will Parker for winning the redemption challenge!"
Will jumped with joy and tossed his rod away, "I'm gonna make up for what happened Alex! Just watch me!" Will told his brother and went to join Kaito.
"Dammit." Persephone set her rod down before sighing, "Oh well... I can still root for Flora from here..."
May got up and sat with Alex, "Well... there you have it folks... Will and Kaito are gonna be our... returnees for the merge... Join us after the next six episodes to see which losers join us... until then... I'm May Summers."
"And I'm Alex Parker..." Alex added.
"And this was Sakamannano Aftermath!" The two announced as the camera zoomed out to show all the losers and the hosts on the stage.
After the aftermath was long done, Alex collapsed on the couch and panted, "Hey May... did you see where that Okana sheet went? I looked for it earlier but couldn't find it."
"I think an intern has it..." May sat on the couch and leaned against Alex's shoulder, "Nice job rigging that challenge though..." May pointed over at Will's rod, which had a magnet attached to it
Alex lightly laughed, "If Drew wants to abuse my brother's emotions for views then I'm allowed to control who returns."
"Yeah..." May yawned and began to doze off, "It'd be nice if he could pull off a win too..."
Alex smiled, "It sure would..."
FreshmEn: So since this is a triple feature, there's no need to put an author's note on this chapter. The only thing I wanna mention here is that minis from now on are gonna be one per episode and not two. Also I know this aftermath was kinda short, but we didn't really have enough questions to stretch out the runtime like last time.
