Total Drama X: Hotel Rockies
Episode 3: A Very Rockie Climb

What else I can say other than Rebecca and Luigi doesn't deserve that and there's already some business going down here, maybe it's because second chances helps or because the challenge was wild like that or really, sometimes people get lucky.

That's what happening in this long delayed episode.

Besides, it's a simple challenge today, my dudes albeit with some more setup for how this season goes from the characters and the more interesting stuff!

Also, aside from the cooks, the interns won't show up a lot just because the canon show kinda did that and which interns I picked would be able to stay in the background. Most of the time.

Goodguygary's clone: Yeah, I'm not gonna eliminate Eris just because of the anime's weird implications. Mushoku Tensei's great and that's about it. (i haven't watched season 2, whoops)

Memeking: Sorry for the (Discord-exclusive) tantrum, I was frustrated with the lack of feedback. Glad you liked it, though.

Ginrai12: Gonna be honest, thanks for the review! It was kinda hard to catch but it's called the Anti-Hero Alliance (that it might fit both definitions as the story goes on) and yeah, Rebecca was my favourite in Edgerunners mostly...so that's why she went. (Tough choice, honestly.)


"Last time on Hotel Rockies, our 82 or so contestants played hide and seek with some squid kid gunners in a massive hotel that may or may not be suspicious and weird! There was really a lot of fun to truly be had and a lot of ridculous eliminations along the way! Some contestants even become gunners and some got immunity and uh, Jack Horner really seeked everyone else and was one of them!"

"Tigress, Parvana and Goldilocks were the best hiders of them all and got some special prizes, Tigress getting to be a future team leader, Goldie getting a double vote that she didn't use yet, Parvana getting a clue to an idol! That kinda has nothing to do with the elimination since Luigi and Rebecca got voted off, one due to alliance and the other due to being a mid-game veteran, so that's it!"

"Wonder what we've got in store for this one? I bet it's gonna be a tough climb, today on Total Drama X: Hotel Rockies!"


There was many reason why someone like Chloe would survive, where as Luigi couldn't, like being an easy opponent to defeat, alliance fodder or getting lucky.

She definitely got lucky last episode, which somehow went to her head.

Ah, good times.

"No way, I actually survived that elimination! I'm looking good today!" Chloe shouted.

"Uh, don't get too excited." Clover said. "You survived because you're just lame enough."

"Excuse me, my butt survived by two votes."

"That means people don't really hate you enough! You were almost first out!"

"So, gimme me a second chance and buzz off!"

"Okay, like, I will."

Chloe huffed away from Clover, as they were done eating their pretty solid food that came from the cooking crew, while the other girls are doing business.

"Yeesh, she almost gets eliminated and gets like this?" Chika asked. "So dumb."

"Believe it or not, she wasn't that different." Mako answered. "She was this mean last time."

"Oh, so she's just like that!" Chika whispered to Mako.

"Yeah, it's not that crazy, though." Mako whispered back.

Chika still looked surprised, as Mako and Clover looked at each other with relability.

*Clover's confessional*

"I don't even get it. She, like, barely got a marshmallow because Luigi can jump like crazy and kinda OP, but she acts like she's queen of the hotel." She complained. "Luigi's awesome."

*Confessional cut*

Speaking of kinda overpowered people, Master Tigress had a hard job ahead of her, especially since she wanted to decide what kind of people would fit the hard-knock team she wanted.

That being said, she had better things to do thanks to the unique (and misplaced) gym equipment allowing her to further her kung fu journey and also, Dachun and Jam weren't busy doing random stuff.

The invincible virgin was clearly trying his best to learn the new style, while Jam was following her steps closely enough in solid fashion.

"So, who would you pick for your team?" Dachun asked. "I hope there's no killers."

"I don't know there might have to be killers in order for there to be good team." Jam answered.

Tigress definitely noticed the conversation.

"I would be against it."

"Sorry Dachun, there would be killers no matter what."

Tigress took a breath.

"There doesn't have to be killers in our team. What our team needs are reasonable people who do reasonable things." She confidently spoke. "Though the process won't be easy, nothing ever is, especially with some of the people in this game."

Jam and Dachun nodded to that.

"Neither is Kung-Fu."

Dachun looked determined, as Jam sighed.

"That is right! Being manly never stops!" Kirishima shouted, lifting his weights. "Just like Kung-Fu!"

Kirishima got up confidently with a sincere smile.

"Don't worry, I don't mind being on your team."

"Good, don't be scared." Tigress told him.

"Yeesh, I wasn't scared once!"

Kirishima waved goodbye to the Chinese trio, as a certain set of dudes arrived in the game them being JFK, Leorio and Shingo Yabuki with confident smiles.

*Kirishima's confessional*

The red-haired hero was having a great time.

"Honestly, if I had to choose between everyone for a team, I'm pretty sure that those four and the manly dudes of Mr. Gar and Shingo are gonna be in there. Or maybe not."

*Confessional cut*


As for Daisy, she was very mad at a decent amount of people which included Damien and Zee for voting off her long-time boyfriend and Damien was starting to get a little scared.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Damien asked scaredly.

"Because you voted Luigi off! He's my Luigi!" Daisy yelled.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, he's just had a great run last season."

"What about Chloe, huh?! Didn't she suck last season?"

"I dunno, second chances could absolutely change someone!"

Daisy calmed down realising that Damien couldn't handle her hits, as she sighed.

"Maybe you're right." Daisy said. "Sorry for almost beating you up."

Damien practically guarded himself.

"It's okay, I couldn't handle it."

"Whoa, dude, you can't just say stuff like that. I still don't know why Luigi's green, man!" Zee said, somehow being completely off-base. "Chloe's mean!"

"That is true, she is one mean bean. Don't exactly remember her being likable." Daisy remarked.

"I feel like talking trash about her isn't the way to go." Zee stated. "She seems chill."

In the background, Chloe was bragging to a confused Silver for obvious reasons.

"Uh, sure?" Daisy stated.

And in other news, there was a little something brewing between the villain, girl scout and black sheep trio that carried themselves to immunity.

"Hey, girls, watcha doing?" Isabella asked.

"I'm just being myself and Goldie's planning the entire game." Mirabel spoke, as though Goldie didn't shoot a look at her.

"That's kinda nice." Isabella whispered. "Though I don't know if I want to be in an alliance."

"Maybe it's just a bunch of friends supporting each other through the game."

Goldilocks got into whispering space.

"That's still an alliance." Isabella whispered.

"Oi, that's a real smart move. Though I ain't letting just anyone into this alliance." Goldilocks said. "Dark-skinned girl basically said no and I don't know about Eris, she seems..."

Everyone now looked at Eris Greyrat.

"I seem like what, Miss Goldilocks?"

"You seem like a brat." Goldilocks finished it.

These four were back together.

"You dare call me a brat?"

"Yeah, can I not call ya that?"

Eris looked incensed, but she calmed down.

"No. If this is an alliance, then at least call me by my name." She quietly demanded.

"Yeah, that was a bad guy move there." Mirabel stated. "It's Eris, right?"

Goldilocks shrugged.

"Well, I don't know if it's that. Mostly because there are a lot of people could hear us."

The four of them could see more than a few people around, but not as many as Goldilocks would have expected.

"Oi, where the hell is everybody?!" Goldilocks shouted.

"Making alliances for sure." Isabella remarked. "Nobody knows which team they're gonna be in."

The Teenage Squad (name tentative) were seeing that there wasn't a lot of people having interesting conversations and a lot of people trying their own hand at strategy.


Dedede and The Queen of Hearts smacked right into each other in one of the hallways and the last challenge really did something to them.

"You better apologise for losing us the challenge, I had more than a few votes aimed in my direction for an unsuitable reason!" The Queen shouted.

"You got those votes because you're just loud and not a genius unlike me, where I've got smarts." Dedede replied. "But we've got a bigger problem."

"I can't believe they won't allow me to chop heads off."

"Because they're gonna die, Queenie and uh, there are bigger problems right now!"

"Well, an alliance obviously is needed!"

"Yeah, well...what?"

These two did have the same idea.

"Wowie, an alliance between royalty! That would be quite the alliance." Papyrus shouted. "And right now, I don't know if people like you that much to not vote you out."

"Thank you, but our alliance is exclusive. Me, Papyrus and hopefully Shrek are in it to win it." Dedede boasted. "Hopefully, he said he was busy right now and..."

Papyrus looked worried and Queen of Hearts looked quite smug, as Dedede sweated.

"...Uh, there's a spot open for you!"

"I'll gladly take it." The queen bowed. "And where's-"

Papyrus saw Shrek came in.

"-Ah, the green ogre."

"Oh, hello, Shrek, we were just about to..." Papyrus waved to him, before noticing Shrek's having a staring match with the queen.

Dedede and Papyrus understood what was going down, mostly.

"Aw no, Shrek!" Dedede whined.

"Come on, I might as well join in." Shrek remarked. "Bet I could arm-wrestle Her Highness easy."

"Really, now?! Since I can't cut off heads, I'll make sure that I have the surperior hand."

"Well, you ain't no ogre no matter how loud you get."

"That's quite the rude response-"

Papyrus high-fived a thoroughly flabbergasted Dedede twice.

*Shrek's confessional*

He grinned.

"I thought it was going to be some rinky-dink alliance with eliminating a couple fellas, trying to sabotage some challenges, scary people, you know that type of stuff, but you guys should know that I love stickin' it to some royals."

*Confessional cut*

As for other people, they were really busy doing things that actually exist.

Asahi and Mob especially so.

"So, how's your home life?" Mob asked.

"I don't have one." Asahi answered abruptly.

Asahi basically glared at Mob.

"And I'm gonna assume that your family's not great."

"Yes!" Asahi insisted. "Sorry, Mob."

"That's okay, I should be sorry." Mob answered.

Silver floated in carrying some granola.

"So, when do you think's the challenge-"

"Alright, guests, meet me at the entrance, where most of you met each other sort of!" Topher announced. "The challenge won't start there I promise and some of you are gonna like it."

Silver smiled, as the other two looked confident in the challenge.

"Oh, wow, I bet it's going to be a nice one!" Silver beamed.

"Hopefully it's something good." Asahi said. "Could really use a good challenge."

*Mob's confessional*

He put on a stoic face.

"I heard from my master that most of the challenges were either challenges to find legal ways of torturing or trying to get someone killed. Still though, I do have some friends already go through the dangerous challenges."

*Confessional cut*


Somehow everyone was at the front of the hotel and you could really tell that it was previously used for some very legal activties that the police really liked knowing about.

AKA it was simulteanously classy, scruffy and ridiculous

"Yeesh, I thought this place looked cool!" Scudworth shouted.

"I don't think it ever looked cool, man." Cuphead said. "Saw a place just like this, got my soul ripped out."

"Oh yeah, I got that feeling sometimes! Blast the guys that picked red."

Cuphead wanted to say something, but Topher had a loud whistle so loud, literally no-one could hear each other hear it.

"Guys, we have a bus and it can carry all of you and much more!" Topher announced, pointing to the double-decker coach. "You know, since we're not at the challenge, we gotta drive!"

Scudworth and Cuphead respected the bus, in spite of having Chris all over it, even including a emblem of his face with the show's name on both sides and the rest really didn't.

"Oh my god, who's allowed to drive this thing?!" Kitty (not Katswell) complained, seeing the door open. "No way, Owen!"

It was Owen with a fully beard and a bus driver's uniform over his iconic shirt, but it was still him.

"Oh hello, Kitty! And the guys from Ultimate Island!" Owen shouted. "Hop in, we're gonna go and climb a mountain!"

"You revealed the challenge?!" Mai shouted.

"That's what I should be saying! Everybody, meet Owen, though you probably know him from him eating out the multiverse or Total Drama...and who shouldn't REVEAL CHALLENGES!" Topher introduced Owen passive-aggressively.

Owen was sad, as everyone hopped into the double-decker bus.

"I'm sorry, Topher." Owen apologised. "I was just so excited."

Topher couldn't say mad at an almost-crying bus driver.

"Apology accepted."

Everyone then decided to hop on the bus to a journey to a beautiful place, some of them truly deciding to take the top bus and some of them enjoyed the scenery of the Albertan Rockies, others decided to hang together and the rest wondered why Owen would be excited.


The coach arrived at the mountain that Total Drama could legally put explosives on and everyone that didn't watch it realised that it wasn't a challenge you could get excited about, stepping off to their inevitable explosion.

Owen tried to stepped off before Topher glared at him and he didn't.

"Everybody, this mountain didn't have a name until today! Today, you guys are going to be climbing up Mount Drama to the summit! First one to the top wins the chance to select their team!" Topher announced. "Though the many explosives and other stuff may not help you get there! By the way, you can't fly or teleport or jump for more than ten seconds, simple as that."

"Well, that's fair." Goldilocks said. "Can't 'ave any cheaters on here."

"Last two to reach the top gets eliminated, booted, simple as that!"

Jack Horner scoffed at that notion.

"You can't just do that!"

"Bruv, I don't see ya winning any time soon!" Goldilocks mocked him. "Ain't that right, Mirabel?"

Mirabel and Isabella winced there, as Eris laughed.

"Bugger seeing you in first."

The eighty contestants looked at the massive start-line and the kinda wide path with all of the random explosives on it, trying to get a good headstart and-

"GO!"

Almost everybody ran or jogged onto the path, besides a few stragglers.

"Hold up, how is this legal?" Damien asked. "You can't just put a few explosives onto a national monument."

"There's almost definitely some kind of thoretical loophole, I wouldn't get too caught up in the legalities." She-Hulk said. "Topher, you can't just destroy the rockies."

"It's only made to blow the contestants up! We tested it and you two should not be trying to get eliminated." Topher smugly stated, as Damien and She-Hulk rolled their eyes.

*She-Hulk's confessional*

"I still don't really know why half of all Total Drama challenges seem to be legal ways of torturing people through whatever sense Chris wanted to assault that day."

She then looked around.

"Still think I could easily get top twenty without trying. Hope you could remember that, thenewsubwayguy...damn it, I'm not gonna have a scene until-"

*Confessional cut*

As for the top dogs, it was really obvious.

"Tangle, slow down please!"

Tangle ran as fast as she could.

"I'd like to be team captain!" Sora yelled, currently on a wall.

"Nope, I'd be awesome as a team captain like Sonic would be." Tangle proclaimed.

"Nuh-uh!"

Daisy argued that while jumping over a few explosions.

"What do ya mean, nuh-uh?" Tangle asked.

These were top three rushing into action against the much faster and smarter runners that were waiting for the many explosions and random shit that lay around this course of poorly constructed mountain path.

And there was more.

"He means nuh-uh in a nuh-uh way!" Angelia proclaimed. "You stupid brutes."

"Why are we running so fast right now?" Cuphead said. "Why are you so fast?"

"Because of my power."

"Oh, yeah!"

Cuphead got thrown up into the air, as Angelia, Tangle, Sora and Daisy were in some kind of hectic race to the summit despite the fact that the fact it was a mountain path.

In spite of his explosion, Cuphead recovered like a pro and landed on top of Sora.

"Can you put me down?" Cuphead asked.

Sora then put Cuphead down running.

"Thanks, smell ya later!"

They both ran at equal speed, making each other mad by existing and they saw Angelia sail past them with no friction, glaring at the young angel.

"I don't need to fly!" Angelia proclaimed, speeding through the path.

*Angelia's confessional*

The overconfident child floated in view.

"I mean I have to keep it consistent, but that's not a problem for me. Plus I haven't hit an explosion just yet, though I could easily erase it."

*Confessional cut*

Daisy breathed consistently, as Angelia floated past.

"Why are you so weak?" Angelia mockingly asked.

"Why are you so hecking strong?" Daisy angrily asked back.

Angelia moved on ahead with her ether intact and she didn't-

*BOOM*

-look before she ran and got blown up completely, as Tangle looked right back at her and then she got knocked down quite the distance, basically dropping down halfway down the leaderboard.

She landed right on a running Dachun.

"My apologies-"

Angelia screamed like no-one else screamed, as Dachun was confused.

*He Dachun's confessional*

"I completely understand why she did the scream after losing a lead, but she should be able to get back to the top

*Confessional cut*

"Dang, from second to middle of the pack, Angelia's got it rough!" Topher felt a little something pass him by. "Tangle, Daisy and Sora's the new top three!"

"Let's go guys, we're never going to drop down in position!" Daisy shouted.

"Yeah, we're in this for the long haul-"

Tangle and Daisy subsequently got blown up by something in front of them, completely blown back and there was a little bit of a hole.

"Fuck." Daisy spoke.


The four smartest people in the season were slowly jogging up and saw Angelia catch up angrily with Silver finally on the chase.

"Heh, that little girl got owned." Scudworth commented. "So, it's official."

"What's official? We're kinda in a situation where a lot of people could hear us." Reagan said.

"Well, look around lady, there isn't much competition around here." Scudworth remarked.

There was Lusamine and that was it for about a hundred meters.

"Weird. Then let's just make this thing official." Reagan stated. "Especially since Lusamine's giving me the look."

"Well, I was interested and just happened to be in-"

"Yeah, yeah, let's do this."

NEW ALLIANCE!
Reagan, Scudworth, Snively (or Colin), Lusamine & Olivia...

These five were on each other, not noticing somebody.

"As long as Scudworth can't name it, I'm fine with it." Snively spoke up.

"Hey, he could have a great name for all you could know." Olivia defended him.

Scudworth grinned, as someone else came up to the group of science-lovers and havers and heard this name.

"...the Straight Science Squad!" Scudworth shouted. "How do you like that name."

"Not a bad name." Snively added. "Time to-"

The Straight Science Squad turned to see Pannacotta Fugo and they all looked at him suspiciously.

"How much did you hear?" Snively questioned Fugo.

"I heard enough. The Straight Science Squad isn't a bad name, simply average." Fugo said. "And you people have met before, so this is an alliance."

The six of them kept on running, thinking about their future within the game.

"You want in? Since I heard you're smart." Reagan said with a smile.

"Yes, might as well join this." Fugo said, sighing. "Okuyasu's way ahead of us."

"That's great, I really don't care!" Reagan shouted.

Reagan, Scudworth, Colin (or Snively), Lusamine, Olivia & Fugo as the Straight Science Squad!

'

Wasn't there supposed to be explosions?

*BOOM*

"Did he really decide to start this when we got comfortable?!" Mai Shiranui shouted.

"Be honest, are you comfortable around this guy?" Juri asked. "Scratch that, you're probably comfortable around him."

"Hey, just because he looks nice doesn't mean anything."

"You said it not me."

Juri and Mai were running quite a distance, a little miffed at the-

*BOOM*

-explosions that dotted the now somewhat broken up path, which was a problem for unwise Okuyasu in particular.

"Hello, ladies, there's rocks ahead!" Okuyasu shouted. "They are big ones, too!"

He got completely ignored, as the twin rivals basically got to dealing with the rocks.

"Hold on, there's big rocks!"

Roxanne made a passing glance at the guy, also dealing with the rocks and Dedede glared at the teen's stupidity as he passed him by.

"Daaang, Okuyasu's willingly dropping places to warn the other contestants! About the explosions that everyone can kinda hear!"

*Okuyasu's confessional*

"Man, I wanted to warn them. Tried using my stand and couldn't break those rocks."

*Confessional cut*

The twin ladies hopped over the rocks, still in the top 20, ensuring their own victory through some more measured running and there was other players that weren't doing that much better.

"Oi, these bombs better stop happening." Goldilocks remarked, climbing another rock.

"I know, right, these bombs will never stop." Mirabel complained, easily slip through

"Well, I've seen a lot of stuff like this." Isabella casually stated.

"What do you mean by that?" Mirabel asked.

Isabella jumped down from the rocks, as Goldie and Mirabel finally got down.

"I've been on a lot of fun things just with my friends." Isabella explained nervously. "And that's all I'm going to say."

"Makes sense, your friends' probably do crazy stuff!" Mirabel quipped, as Isabella sighed.

"Eh, what kind of stuff?" Goldie asked.

"Building things in the backyard." Isabella said, trying to not reveal too much.

Goldie, Mirabel and Eris (who successfully got over it quickly) accepted the explaination, probably because when Isabella's friends get caught, the world usually goes to shit.

And as for other people, they had better ideas on how to jump across small gaps.

"Uh, Topher likes blown up paths." Jam remarked.

"I could tell." Tigress said.

Like the Kung-Fu duo were confidently in the top ten (along with Silver, Tangle, Angelia, Sora, Roxanne, Cuphead and She-Hulk AKA Jennifer), but they could also see how much stuff could pile down onto the mostly nature-made path.

She-Hulk and Roxanne were looking at each other as strong women that could run, which made Angelia's sudden speed all the more surprising.

"And just like that, Angelia's desperate for that team leader position! Without really breaking the rules at the moment!"

"Haha!" Angelia chuckled.

"Good one, kid." Roxanne complimented Angelia's lack of friction. "Damn, she's fast."

*Roxanne's confessional*

"Damn, I don't have a lot of screentime for being number one. I should be able to change all that, just not this challenge."

*Confessional cut*

As Jen and Rox were competitively dealing with each other bottoming out the top ten, Silver saw Tigress and Jam effectively slip around the newfound obstacles that peppered down the path.

It wasn't like he didn't want to lift the rocks, but he ran around them quite easily as well.

"Well, I hope Mob's doing much better." Silver wondered aloud. "And how did Angelia come back so quickly?"


Mirabel, Eris, Goldie, Isabella, Juri, Mai, Clover, Dark Pit, Asahi and Kitty Katswell were also pretty close to the top ten as the top twenty that did their business.

Mob (or Shigeo) wasn't even fucking close to that or the Straight Science Squad that did fine.

"I mean, I get the approach, but why?" Damien asked. "You have superpowers."

"I don't want to rely on those superpowers so much." Mob said. "Mostly because those superpowers would probably break the rules."

"Nah, that's cool. Sometimes you gotta make your moves without the scary powers."

"Mmm, yeah."

These guys were walking both around the bottom 20, as the other fellas were looking a little mad.

"Why are you two staying down here? Why aren't you two running?" Chika asked.

"Have you looked up there recently?" Damien reasonably shouted.

Chika literally looked up to see a thing fall down right next to her, that thing actually being Roll coming from the sky.

"Honestly, second worst thing I've done today." Roll got up easily. "Hello, you people."

"Wait, did you forget my name?" Chika asked.

Roll rolled her eyes, as Mob and Damien surprised.

"You would think I would forget you, Chika Fujiwara?" Roll said.

"Oh." Chika just got to going.

"Hahahaha, Angelia's right back into the top 5 with her angel powers! This only means one thing, contestants!" Topher announced.

*Chika's confessional*

"You know what, I may just be a normal student, but I'm going to do stuff like helping people in love!" Chika shouted.

*Confessional cut*

As for other alliances, there was a couple royals and a skeleton that were doing surprisingly well in the race of random explosions and random interns that were throwing down stuff awkwardly.

"BACK OFF!"

Dedede swung a rock out of his way again.

"These guys really don't let up, huh?"

"I heard that they don't get paid much! Sad!" Papyrus yelled, punching another rock.

"That sucks, but they betta stop doing this stuff!"

Dedede and Papyrus, despite swinging pretty hard, were clearly lagging behind the Queen of Hearts (out of all contestants) with her being really able to do one more thing.

"More fun obstacles and more explosions, as if there wasn't enough!"

Queenie (I'm gonna call her that in a short hand.) dealt with the announcement with a simple huff.

"My my, this guy think he is the top of the game! Well, he can't top me!" She declared.

"Yes, you can't be topped at the moment!" Papyrus backed her up.

The Royal Trio (working name) were working their butts to rise up the leaderboard which wasn't that hard when a lot of the people had the sense to keep it slow.

Amelia and Judy Hopps ran together at least.

"I find it pretty crazy that I'm keeping up with you." Judy said. "Since you're taller."

"That does not matter, since you're turning out to be quite the competitor. This challenge is quite a banal one." Amelia remarked.

And they saw debris from some random explosion nearly fall down on them and fall down on someone else very confident in their head.

"This challenge!" Falco yelled.

The blue bird basically ran with a head bump.

"I do agree on that." Amelia said.

"Yeah, yeah."

Falco looked at the two ladies, who were running together, with some suspicions, but he just shrugged it off.

And that was right before the Royal Trio sped on by with only their feet, sweat and pure determination and the three veterans looked on baffled.

"Well, well, well, the royals are trying to get that team leader position

*Captain Amelia's confessional*

"So, in spite of this challenge's notable length, those three are really trying to run forward and considering the state of those three, I doubt that their results are really going to be worth their haste."

*Confessional cut*


"Hey, I wouldn't do that if I was you, but I'm not into that kind of business."

"Honestly, it's my fault that I work as hard as I do, but I don't mind this challenge."

The working men, Larry and Vinny, were moving up the leaderboard climbing stuff.

"Really, you don't mind climbing a mountain that could explode at any time?" Vinny asked.

"Yes, I do mind, otherwise I'll get eliminated."

"Wow, you two are solid fellows! Hahaha!" Dr. Livesey grinned, easily climbing the rocks. "They can't stop us."

The black-clothed duo wondered how a simple doctor could be so strong and mirthful, right before realising that it didn't matter that much really since they were about in the Top 30.

More importantly, Scout and Banjo were stuck in a comedy skit rising up the leaderboard with Satsuki doing some literal running commentary.

"Where ya going, bozos!" Scout called out, ready to swing his bat. "I came here to talk."

"With a bat?!" Banjo shrieked.

"Yeah, found a new way of talkin'."

Kazooie was basically held back by the backpack, as Banjo was desperately running and Satsuki was watching it happen.

"Damn, Boston's truly got the fastest American in this season or he's very dumb." Satsuki said, making sure that she wasn't heard. "Anyways-"

She got completely blown upwards, emphasis on upwards, towards a very interesting place, as Scout and Banjo almost fell off due to a narrow path.

"Congratulations, Satsuki, you're in first place! This means you get to experience the explosions live and on air!" Topher announced, as Satsuki got up near instantly.

Satsuki just saw a bomb explode in front of her.

"Is this what that Parvana lady really felt?!" Satsuki shouted. "Afganistan's wild!"

"Hold on, what's a Afganistan?"

Angelia was literally flying for some reason.

"Uh, how come you're flying like a bitch?"

"Because it's faster, dummy!"

Topher just chuckled, knowing that he had a good moment coming.

"Well, Satsuki's still going strong and way ahead of nearly everyone else, minus maybe Sora!" Topher announced. "Still though, Angelia's first."

Sora literally ran up to where Satsuki was on the walls.

"I heard you got lucky." Sora remarked, as Satsuki just shrugged. "I'm Sora."

*Satsuki's confessional*

"Goddamn, he's really overpowered, like someone put an anime guy into a Disney movie and decided, this is very cool and makes it great!" Satsuki practically shouted into the ether.

*Confessional cut*

As for Daisy, Tangle, She-Hulk, Cuphead, Roxanne, Mirabel, Goldilocks, Silver and Tigress, it was only getting more explosive in the literal sense.

"She's legging it, Mirabel!" Goldilocks literally pointed to Daisy. "She is legging it!"

"Okay?!" Mirabel was just confused. "Is that-"

And she got flipped over, allowing the others to pass her by and getting back up.

"Hey, how are ya?" Silver asked.

"Could be doing better for being blown up." Mirabel casually remarked, which blew Silver's mind.

"I can't believe you just said that so casually."

"Hey, can't let the challenge let me down."

The top 15 was chock full of people that could easily deal with an explosion, even Cuphead and Roxanne managed to fly through an explosion and the rest always weren't that.


As for the "first place" angel, she had the wise idea of just flying because no-one would properly check the challenge cameras for her flying, which Topher was about to laugh at her about.

She just angrily went up to the finish line.

"How could you put me through a challenge like this?" Angelia asked. "Is this fun for you?"

"I have to tell ya, something, Angelia! You're disqualified or up for a vote!" Topher couldn't stop smiling. "And I'm surprised that it took this long, too!"

"Do you think this is a fun challenge?"

"You did sign up for this season and I did manage to see you fly!"

Angelia sat down to think about what she had done.

"Shouldn't you announce this to every one of those guests down there?"

"Nope!"

As for others, they were making use of being really annoying, like usual.

"Oh my god!"

Chloe was an expert in this, as Clover.

"Do you know how bad I look?" Chloe asked.

"I don't want to tell you because you know already." Kitty responded, all despondent. "Besides we're supposed to be not getting eliminated!"

"I'm trying, okay. It's just that-"

Chloe and Kitty saw another bunch of rocks fall down from bombs.

"-stuff won't stop falling down!"

Clover literally kicked it away.

"Like, this can't get any worse?" Clover asked.

Clover, Chloe and Kitty decided to book it, as they were aware that they were near dead last besides the hilarious duo of Roll and Glendale.

"So, you're a talking robot that just cleans stuff." Glendale stated. "Kinda weird."

"Actually, I do all that because Mega Man does all of the hard work. I'm pretty capable myself!" Roll said.

"Oh yeah, I know what it feels like to be useful for stuff."

"No seriously, I can fight pretty good. There's just no need for it."

Glendale looked surprised, as Roll nodded seriously.

"Nice, uh, what do we even do?" Glendale questioned.

Glendale and Roll were casually dealing with rocks.

"Not much right now." Roll muttered.

*Chloe's confessional*

She smugly grinned at something.

"Uh, like, I've got an good opportunity at eliminating two somebodies by just pushing them off! But I'm going to make it not obvious since I'm not getting eliminated today?!"

*Confessional cut*

The bottom 5 were full of people that weren't excited to be there, but then again, that was a good summation of the entire race since shit was blowing up all around the place and the fight of the top 20 was wild to witness minus one.

Satsuki had a relatively relaxing jog.

"Is this what second place feels like?" Satsuki asked. "Because I feel like a villainous influencer! Or just an influencer."

Anyways, she was jogging, while the rest of the top 20 were going butt wild on each other.

"I wasn't expecting to have a rematch so soon." Tigress stated. "Over brushing up on someone."

"I bet wouldn't let that slide, lass!" Goldilocks said.

Tigress didn't care to shake her head, as she was more focused on deflecting Goldie's stick swings with only precise parries and forgetting the-

*BOOM*

-many explosions were dotting the course with random obstacles that were as disruptive as they were numerous.

Tangle really loved this stuff, literally running up a rock that Cuphead kinda struggled to get over.

"This is my kinda challenge!" Tangle shouted. "Cuphead, you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm over the rock!" Cuphead was kinda pissed.

Tangle ran away from an angry Cuphead, as they were doing their own race and the musclebound ladies were casually doing their own thing climbing some more rocks.

"Come back!" Cuphead shouted. "If you're cool!"

Roxanne and She-Hulk shrugged.

*Roxanne's confessional*

"I like to be the number one guy and I don't mind dealing with kids. Dealing with 25 people all trying to be the best or some sabotaging players is why I'm not super pumped to be first, which feels wrong!"

She looked towards the sky.

"I'd rather be a favourite than be voted out early, basically!"

*Confessional cut*


There was many contestants that haven't had some screen time just yet like these pretty few.

"Man, this challenge can go blow itself up." Denji stated.

"Shut up, er-uh, dude. This is my kinda challenge!" JFK proclaimed.

"It's just blowing up a mountain."

"So, my abs could blow up a mountain!"

A few of the others were astounded by that stupid statement.

"What does that even mean, JFK!" Kitty shouted rhetorically, as JFK pointed to his abs. "Yes, I can see them!"

JFK huffed and kept to running uphill, as the rest of the top whatever squad wasn't having a fun time climbing up an path that was dangerous as it was rudimentary.

Like the group of five that were all young women.

"Okay, how is this even legal?" Meilin questioned. "Like the weird orange guy said, it's just blowing up a mountain."

"It's legal because it's Total Drama!" Katie Mitchell shouted. "Makes sense?"

Meilin looked like she was about to swear.

"Yeah, I know it doesn't either." Katie finished.

"Sweet, maybe we should try and team up into a strategic group of women. Because we're all women." Esmeralda explained herself, almost coming out of nowhere. "And it's going to be really hard to vote someone off without-"

"What?! Sabotage, doing villainous stuff!" Katie basically accused the gypsy lady for no apparent reason, as Esmeralda looked baffled. "Yeah, that's right!"

Esmeralda breathed in.

"There's exactly eighty people and I doubt they'll agree on two different people." Esmeralda stated.

Katie looked sad.

"There, there, never jump to assumptions." Yor stated. "But who should we vote for, miss Esmerelda."

"Probably someone powerful like Gru. Or someone else."

The five of them kept on running near the middle of the pack, not knowing that Denji and JFK were a little more wary of them or Olivia Octavius of the triple S squad realising their potential game.

*Mei's confessional*

"Honestly, now that she mentioned it, there's a lot of grouchy people who are either socially adept, wise with strategies or just kinda strong and it's definitely hard to pick who to vote for at the moment, nevermind considering the wisened-up veterans! Basically, there's no consensus right now."

*Denji's confessional*

"I still know how I'm grumpy! This challenge kinda sucked, but on the other end, these guys can legally blow up a mountain!" Denji grinned. "That's got to mean something from me."

*Confessional cut*

As somebody like Parvana somehow stayed in the top 30 consistently with her crawling skills...


...Kirishima, Mr. Gar and Jack Horner were back together and it wasn't a particularly warm welcome, since they were around the 40th-49th area and it was getting real crowded.

"How long are you going to keep up this charade for, I have people to pass!" Jack Horner shouted, slightly out of breath.

"I don't know, however long it takes for your villainy to stop." Mr. Gar stated. "Kid, you better stop him from teleporting."

"Why would I do that-I wouldn't do that!" Jack complained, as Kirishima stared at him.

The trio then noticed something that was very apparent and also flying, stopping to stare at the rule-breaking Dedede doing something.

"Ahahahah, I found a way around the rules, guys!" Dedede declared, landing in between them. "I can kinda fly around the mountain."

Kirishima and Mr. Gar were sceptical.

"How do you know you're not breaking the rules?" Mr. Gar got up in the king's face.

"Because he hasn't told me!" Dedede shouted. "Anyways, see ya fellas later."

Dedede then "flew" up a rocky wall, as the trio were baffled.

"No fricking way am I holding myself back." Jack Horner just got into his bag. "I got a shield thing in here!"

Kirishima and Mr. Gar kept on jogging up the hill trying to watch Dedede and ended up bumping into Dachun, who was doing the same thing.

*Dachun's confessional*

"If I'm right, then Topher will only tell people if they've broken the rules if they have reach the top which is very wrong. I'm disappointed in you, Topher." He said, crossing his arms and being kinda mad.

*Confessional cut*

Dedede was doing the tricks of climbing up a wall and then all of a sudden-

*BOOM*

-his grip on the wall got blown up and luckily, he could fly and he hoped that it wasn't over ten seconds and the wall besides him got blown up, but he at least got back on.

"Oh, how long was that flight?!" He freaked out, basically. "That Topher better not disqualify me!"

"Finally we've got some interesting strategies for making it to the top! Honestly, you could even get first that way!"


Meanwhile in better and higher pastures, Satsuki, Sora and Daisy (the true top 4) were nearing each other and they could all smell the air and each other's determination.

"Please, please, don't run up walls!" Satsuki shouted. "Or something funny like that!"

"Hey, thanks for the tip!" Sora remarked.

"I'm being serious!"

"See ya, Satsuki."

Satsuki, Tangle and Daisy watched as Sora put the flow in his motion and carefully ran up the walls and these ladies realised that they gave a free win to a sixteen-year old.

*Daisy's confessional*

"If there was a elimination ceremony thing, I would've just voted for Satsuki because she gave someone else a free win by accident!" Daisy basically squawked..

*Satsuki's confessional*

"Fuck, I shouldn't given an anime protagonist a great idea." Satsuki couldn't help but look down. "They always pull a win outta their asses."

*Confessional cut*

While Sora was legally cheating in this race, there was more than a few people that were getting passed by a certain eloquent captain and her mobility skills.

"No way!" Roxanne just saw Amelia hop over her. "Great move."

Captain Amelia just kept on going.

"Yeesh, she's kinda rude."

"Well, we're racing. That's really about it." She-Hulk casually told her.

And they both had the same idea, looking up at the rocky, bomb-covered slope that more than a few people saw Sora kinda run up on.

Along with more than a few people that wanted in on trying to beat Sora, ready to slip and slide while the boy with the massive fucking key swiftly bypassed several sections without breaking any rules.

Besides that, Sora managed to turn that four-hour challenge into a much shorter one and he managed to do one thing.

"Sora, you are the next team leader right next to Tigress, who won the last challenge!" Topher announced. "Gotta be honest, you did it so much faster than everyone else it's kinda unfair!"

"Uh, yep! But it's actually pretty unfair." Sora said.

"That's right, dude."

Sora slowly became more disappointed.

"So, what are you going to do about it?"

"Good question, but I'll let the rest of the guys find that quick way to get up here." Topher told him. "Besides, you lit a fire under everyone's butts with that one move."

Sora and Topher watched the seeming cacophony of explosions and falling contestants with some kind of fascination, though the former is horrified.

"I feel like I'm gonna regret this." Sora remarked.

"Don't kid. You're gonna probably do worse stuff!"

*Sora's confessional*

"I mean Donald and Goofy may basically help me with fighting, but I can lead a team with only my own skills! Now where's the door..."

*Confessional cut*


Speaking of top ten, things got much funner to some people once they realised that climbing a mountain was a very viable strategy and Tangle was finally outmatched.

"Come on, come on, come on!"

As the second fastest contestant, she didn't have that much of a problem keeping it consistent within the top 5 (Silver wanted to be there for his friend.), but she couldn't get first anymore.

She just wanted to be the fastest.

"Whoa, calm down, there's no need to be like that!" Daisy shouted.

From up on a wall.

"I know. I just wanted to be the fastest mountain climber." Tangle said. "Besides, I think only the last two or three campers to reach the top would be eliminated."

"True." Daisy looked at her. "How the heck are you not tired of this challenge?"

"It's an awesome challenge!"

"I know, right! See ya later."

"Bye!"

Daisy and Tangle went on their seperate paths, as the top ten was now entirely different thanks to everyone being a literal mountain climber.

Goldie and Mirabel weren't even close now, while Isabella, Captain Amelia and Asahi were in the running for the second leader's spot thanks to their unique skills.

"Seriously, why are you two so good at this?" Isabella asked.

"I don't really know. I wouldn't tell you anyways." Asahi answered.

Isabella kept on climbing, as Asahi, Amelia and several others were taking the hard way and blowing themselves up in the process and while all of the simple stuff was happening, things were infinitely more complicated down in the middle thanks to a certain alliance with a mediocre name.

"Everybody's trying to climb." Reagan commented, seeing Mr. Gar fall down. "And failing at it, unsurprisingly."

"You know what's surprising?" Scudworth was on a rock wall. "You don't have a thing to help you climb."

"Scudworth, look up at everybody that's doing the same thing as you! They're 100% more likely to even get whatever secret prize Topher has. Plus I do have a little something!"

"I've got my bare hands of evil."

Scudworth fell down, as Reagan activated her hand-shaker thing and tried to modify her hand-shaking backpack quickly.

"My hand shaker probably could carry me to the finish line." Reagan said. "Just me, though."

"Well, that is fine. I wonder if my Milotic would be useful." Lusamine easily suggested, as the whole alliance looked at her for answers. "It's quite the beautiful snake but it might not be able to climb on this mountain."

"Anyone else got something?" Reagan asked.

Olivia thought of something and then quietly reconsidered it, as Regan and Snively looked at her with suspicion.

"I don't have anything." Olivia piped up. "Really!"

"Well, my solutions are back at the hotel, so I don't have anything either." Snively explained himself.

Lusamine managed to pull out Milotic without a problem, as Olivia wiped some sweat off her brow with Reagan just staring right at her.

*Reagan's confessional*

"I know for a fact that she's definitely another Dr. Octopus! I think I did a little bit of research and well, she's a scientist in New York dealing with a company that just happens to be antagonistic to Spider-Man and unless the name's a coincidence, yeah she's hiding her probably real tentacles for strategic reasons!"

She was stone-faced.

"But I'm not gonna reveal it to the world 'cause she's in my alliance."

*Confessional cut*

Olivia, Reagan and Lusamine were all riding on the very pissed off bear, all bearing equally mean faces or attempts at one in Olivia's case, but that left the men with a problem.

"How do we not lose?" Scudworth asked, down from his second attempt.

"We move!" Fugo shouted. "What other choice do we have?"


As for Dedede, he was arguably the angriest out of all the climbers despite passing many other contestants quite easily with well-timed jumps and wall grabs to not get disqualified or to make up for his "explosion flight."

Unsurprisingly, he looked like he was in an action movie as the badass villain and landed right in front of Parvana, who looked at him.

"Can I just pass?" Parvana asked.

"Yeah, but I'm about to be second place!" Dedede shouted. "Watch out, lady!"

"I'm not going to stop you."

The Afghan then saw Dedede fly for a few seconds, before grabbing onto a wall and exploding as she kept on moving.

*Parvana's confessional*

"I'd rather cheer for the people that aren't doing unholy things to win a challenge, which are many. That being said, I don't mind not winning this challenge, just as long as I don't get eliminated."

*Confessional cut*

Dedede kept on going and saw a surprising appearance of Mei, who had the same exact strategy and looked at him with disgust.

"Why are you so fat?" Mei genuinely asked.

"Because I like food, nothing to it." Dedede replied back snottily.

The competition got a little too hot for each other's briches, each climbing faster and getting more blown up by the minute and many-a challenge climber kinda watched in awe as two beasts were climbing explosive rocks.

Oh, man, were those rocks ever explosive.

"OH NOOOO!" Cuphead basically fell down to the path.

"Cuphead, mate, you better-"

Goldilocks got blown down to the same place.

Luckily for Meilin and Dedede, they weren't the only great climbers that get to skip the path, as Captain Amelia and Tangle were both making it work albeit more awkward.

"Hey guys, what's up?" Tangle asked.

"Trying to beat you, nothing that serious!" Meilin casually remarked.

Dedede kept on climbing fast and getting burnt and Captain Amelia was shocked at the king's appearance, but she kept on going.

*Captain Amelia's confessional*

"The weight of that penguin doesn't seem to stop him from climbing at a rapid pace and honestly, I think there is a lot to said king. Even if his attitude is immature at best."

*Confessional cut*

"Finally, I thought nobody would've climbed on the walls! Well, everybody's doing it and everyone's about to get blown-"

Daisy's screams interrupted Topher.

"-Yeesh, Daisy really got the bad end of it! Tangle could actually win this, but Dedede and Amelia are practically neck and neck with her! Top 5's looking weird today!"

Topher definitely had another surprise come his way.

"-Stupid thing, always working when I don't want it to!"

Jack Horner and Spamton were in front of Topher and nervous.

"Go join Angelia in the disqualifiction corner, you two, that's just cheating!" Topher announced. "Actually three, because I can see you, Fenneko."

Fenneko was indeed holding a glowing key.

"Jack, I just wanted to hold this key." Fenneko said. "Don't blame me."

"Why shouldn't I blame you, you fox?!" Jack Horner shouted. "You were holding it."

"Because I wanted to hold [the key] because it looks cool! And a [sale opportunity]!" Spamton declared, Jack Horner trying to reach for him. "Why don't you calm down [with a special deal]!"

Fenneko and Jack glared right at this guy.

*Fenneko's confessional*

"There is no way that he's making it past the next episode if he keeps on doing stuff like this and I will be sad. Mostly because I'd like to see how a car salesman deals with this!2

*Confessional cut*

Still on that mountain top, the race to be second place was down to Dedede, Meilin and Amelia finally landing on the last section of the path and running without any hesitation.

"That's the new top 3 right there, Captain Amelia, King Dedede and Meilin Lee, doing their thing! It could come down to one swing!" Topher announced.

Dedede confidently swung at Captain Amelia, who side-stepped it, not realising that the king was decently ahead now.

Still though, it was a real close call.

"And it looks like King Dedede got a legit second place! You won the chance to be the leader of the third and final team!" Topher announced. "Congratulations! Also, Amelia and Mei Mei, you got 3rd and 4th! Tangle, got 5th."

Tangle pulled herself to a dismayed Mei and impressed Amelia.

"Uh, what did he say?" Tangle asked.

"He said Dedede's also a team leader now. The third one." Mei answered.

"Aw, man." Tangle said. "I would've made a good team leader!"

"So would I." Mei said wistfully.

Dedede still celebrated, as more contestants came up smoking and tough and clearly, they were a little surprised at his conitnued celebration and the top ten was set.

That obviously included Roxanne, She-Hulk, Daisy, Kirishima and Shrek, who looked at the disqualified people.

"Why are ya guys so mad?" Shrek asked Jack Horner.

"Because I teleported because of a puppet!" Jack seethed.

Spamton popped up.

"Well, hello there, puppet man."

"[Do you like great deals and prizes?]" Spamton quickly spat out.

Shrek and the other disqualified contestants that were sitting in a random corner of the summit gawked at the puppet's desperation.

"Yeah, but I ain't buying your stuff." Shrek remarked, as Spamton slumped over.

The top 25 had girls like Mirabel, Isabella, Goldilocks, Tigress and Parvana and guys like Dark Pit, Asahi and Silver, who were enjoying a nice day inside the building that was just there at the top of the mountain.

"So, you're telling that you just jumped from near the bottom to the top with one climb?" Asahi asked.

"Yeah."

"Crazy."

Asahi and Kirishima were drinking some damn good tea and uh, not much happened except for one thing.

"So if they're disqualified, what does that mean?" Kirishima asked.

"Apparently we'll have to vote for one of them to be eliminated." Asahi said.

"Hopefully it means that there's going to be three losers eliminated today, since this show ain't fair!"

Dedede got Kirishima and Asahi readying themselves by hardening.

"Hey, hey, red kid, you're freaking me out!"

"Sorry, you just kinda spooked us."

Larry was the next arrival and he directed his look towards the smug and striking host, as he was kinda covered in a little bit of cold.

"How long do you think it's going to take for everyone to get here?" Larry asked.

"Hopefully not too long because we don't have infinite time to film and also because we've got a whole lot more bombs!" Topher said. "Guys, you won't believe this!"

Larry looked at him incredulously.

"I believe this, I got blown up several times-"

"I was talking to the audience."

Topher glared at him and the challenge kept on going with 55 contestants still unaccounted for and Mai and Juri trying to not murder each other in the background.

That wasn't really that important, honestly.


The sun started to go down and the majority of the remaining contestants couldn't help but bask at the sight of the setting sun right on a slightly destroyed mountain and a path that was as stable as a bad Total Drama season.

"Serious question? What the fuck is this mountain?" Trevor Belmont asked.

"A mountain that kinda blows up a lot." Esmeralda said. "Funny how that's supposed to work."

Trevor and Esmerelda kept on running despite being in the bottom half of the leaderboard.

"There is no way that monsters exist."

"Well, they do and they're demonic assholes. How the hell do you not have monsters."

"I don't really know and the only one who could even come close was only a man."

"Well, I know a few guys like that."

Trevor and Esmerelda finally caught to the surprisingly fast pair of Kaiji and Kate Alen, who didn't want to be near to each other but couldn't exactly take another path.

"Okay, what is your problem?" Kate asked. "Let's just get this race done."

"I don't care who you are, but you've gotta take me seriously!" Kaiji shouted. "Let's team up."

"For the last time, I'm sorry, but I can't."

Trevor, Esmerelda somehow left Kaiji in the dust, as they managed to pick up Kate in the process, though they all just wanted to get outta here and he screamed to the sky.

"Oh my god, what is my problem?" Kaiji shouted to the sky.

Kaiji just kept on walking, as Shermie and Chika skalked on by with smiles.

"Hold the hell on, you were almost last place!"

"Well, I've gotta carry my fellow ladies up. Plus she did want my look!" Shermie casually remarked. "Well, gotta go!"

"Wait!"

Shermie and Chika kept on going, as Leorio ran up as well.

"I'm gonna climb!"

"Finally, you should've done that as soon as possible!" Leorio jumped onto the wall.

*Leorio's confessional*

He looked scruffed up.

"You know what, it's definitely worth the climb right now since I arrived at the same time as my guys Shingo and JFK!" He declared. "Woo, we're doing this together!"

*Shermie's confessional*

"Aw, it's kinda cute how I can get most of these guys to follow my command even though I'm a bad girl doing the usual stuff. Too bad Shingo's got a read on me!" Shermie smiled the entire time. "He's just Kusanagi's errand fighter boy."

*Confessonal cut*

Speaking of random stuff, the majority of the cast were watching the sun fall over Mount Drama and enjoying themselves, while a certain trio from earlier on were talking about something.

By the way, there was 65 people at the summit

"I think leading a team with you people as my teammates would be great. You all are pretty strong and not to mention, surprisingly good at working as a team." Tigress told them. "So, it would be fair if I picked you fellow martial artists."

"Thank you." Dachun replied, dropping a cup of hot chocolate. "I will honour your word."

"Yeah, your word's awesome!" Kirishima cheered her on, getting his right foot in that hot cocoa. "I can tell you've got a great commitment."

"Good because I don't know how we'll pick the teams." Tigress stated. "And I don't think we even get the chance to."

"Aiya, that sucks. Red-haired kid, your foot's in the hot choc!" Jam told him, as the hero in studying just shook the hot liquid off his foot. "No way, don't-"

That cocoa went right onto Eris' hair and it got ugly fast, as the ladies who may or may not have family troubles were giving a look towards the kung-fu heroes that wasn't too friendly.

"I'm sorry for that mistake, please understand." Kirishima spoke curtly.

"I know it was a mistake, I won't hold it against ya!" Mirabel exclaimed.

"Yeah, you kinda just dropped some hot chocolate by accident. That's terrible." Isabella added on.

"I know."

*Goldilock's confessional*

"What kind of muppet would drop hot chocolate? I bet he's up to some business because no idiot would even think of doing such stupid stuff and that business is being bare stupid!"

*Confessional cut*

"As 70 people have already made it to the summit with a trio of people trying to dance even with their energy all wiped out-"

Dedede and Papyrus were taking a breather, as the Queen of Hearts chastised them for being weak at dancing despite her dancing energy being nonexistent.


"-like the remaining ten are intensely looking at the night sky or wondering where in their life stuff went wrong?"

Kitty Katswell finally pulled herself out of a hole to meet the social media-loving girl with the same name.

"What happened to you?" Kitty asked. "You flew in a hole and disappeared into the ether!"

"No, the hole was just really deep and I was really tired." Katswell explained herself seriously. "And I did not sleep."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes!"

RR Kitty balked, as Katswell then ran up the wall.

Kitty and Izzy finally met together again, as they were both learning about each other.

"How come you humans have long necks?" Izzy asked. "Since I don't know this internet thing."

"We just breathe through them." Kitty answered.

"Cool! So what about Chloe?"

"What about her?"

Chloe then came out of nowhere to basically pick up Izzy with her arms and then casually sent her down a level even with the unironic magic making it much harder.

"Well, what about me." Chloe smugly remarked.

"What about you?! Let me tell you what about you!" Kitty snapped.

Then it became a chase of sorts.

*Chloe's confessional*

"Listen if there's anything that I need to take the win is taking down nice people who aren't strong enough to fight me and Clover, because she think she's so funny!"

*Confessional cut*

As for the other bottom 10 contestants, Roll and Fred were doing some of that top tier investigating as usual, even if one half was focused on the other's lack of skills.

"Oh look, Chloe threw someone down again!" Fred shouted.

"Then we move first!" Roll said.

These two did, indeed, up their pace substantially as they didn't want to stop the one girl train that was named Chloe Bourgeois.

Fred, Roll, Katswell and surprisingly, Shigeo was definitely ahead of Chloe and trying their best to avoid getting eliminated.

Kitty and Chloe were doing the flight and fight since Izzy and Clover got their drop onto lower ground and there was the interesting trio of Glendale, Kate and Mr. Shark, three people who have no business being down there.

"Okay, so, I dressed up as the Mona Lisa, sneaked in the Louvre through a vent and man, when it was closed for five minutes, it was my time-" Mr. Shark retold the story.

"Yeah, yeah, that's great." Kate Alen said. "I don't know if bragging about crimes on international TV is something you'd like to do."

"I ain't proud of my crimes, Kate."

"I get it, but you being arrested would suck. Because you're a shark."

Glendale was trying to run with a shark and a pop star, which might have made them last.

*Glendale's confessional*

She had a bunch of stuff behind her.

"At least we're not all last, even if the girls that are in last place didn't deserve to be there either! I'm gonna fight Chloe even if it has to get bloody!" She declared.

*Confessional cut*


And soon, there was only 6 remaining contestants and even a new surprise that arrived on the doorstep of the many that had finished before the sun dipped below the horizon.

"This challenge is taking forever!" Xiaoshi complained. "I finished hours ago!"

"I know, right, it's crazy how long this challenge is actually taking." Chika said. "Geez, some people don't know how to run."

Shigeo and Chloe arrived, as Kitty looked quite pissed.

"Like him!"

"He did try his best, Chika." Xiaoshi suddenly defened Shigeo.

"And then there was five! Clover, Izzy, Glendale, Mr. Shark and Kate Alen and two of them will be sent home!" Topher announced. "Which one will end this long, long challenge!"

Shigeo got some respect by his friends and Dark Pit, while Chloe only got leers from the other contestants that had waited hours for the end of this challenge.

"What, I made it past the first three episodes!" Chloe shouted.

"I mean that's pretty cool, but it would be cooler if you made it to the merge, which would be pretty cool." Zee only complimented her.

And then Zee got hit with the leers.

"I mean, that would be a thing, I can't hate on her."

"She was fighting with Clover non-stop and kicked Izzy down!" Kitty shouted. "And no-one likes her and she is dumb!"

"Hold on, like you're any smarter than me!" Chloe shouted back.

"Like, find a lane and stick yourself in it because you're gonna be eliminated next episode!"

"Well, I'm not."

Zee got punched in the shoulder by Kazooie, as the two ladies were having a problematic situation and then he got hit again.

"I still can't hate on her, though!" Zee said.

"Well, your vibes are gonna be stupid if you keep that up!" Kazooie was trying to swing, as Banjo was trying to hold her back.

"I don't know, bird dude, you can't control a vibe."

*Juri's confessional*

"I don't know if the guy's worth beating up since he does have the right vibe going on. I would watch that fight, though, Zee seems like he can take a swing or two at the bird guy."

*Confessional cut*

As for the two last placers, Clover and Izzy, they were not smiling at all and were in fact climbing through the explosions.

"I can't believe she would do that!" Izzy shouted. "She's just a mean girl."

"Actually, I can. She was, like, on the same season of this show as me and nobody still liked her!" Clover complained.

"Oooh. Maybe she needs a good friend."

"Ew, I hope not!"

The two ladies kept on climbing because of their contrasting attitudes, avoiding getting themselves blown up because of a combo of unicorn magic and "interesting" gadgets.

They were well aware of the odd trio of Glendale, Mr. Shark and Kate finally booking it up Mount Drama, but they didn't stop for anything not even a bomb that blew up in their own faces.

Mostly because Izzy looked quite frizzy from the bombs.

"Oh my god, I'm sorry!" Clover freaked out.

"It's okay, I kinda don't mind my hair like this-"

These two finally reached the top and accidentally fell over a rock, as they looked estatic at their potential safety and decided to run towards the summit finish line.

Except when they arrived, they forgot about the odd trio.

"Hey, guys, so-"

Glendale realised that something.

"-wait, how many people are here?"

"I think it's kinda everybody! Man, did you two get safety?" Mr. Shark asked, oblivious to Glendale and Clover being in a state of panic.

Izzy walked up to Mr. Shark, very much trying to not cry.

"Aw, kid, sorry that she had to ruin your run!"

"No, it's okay, Mr. Shark guy, I learned a lot of stuff and I wanted to learn more!" Izzy shouted, letting the tears flow. "But I still had a fun time here."

Topher finally got out of the building to see the works of his hosting skills, as he had one thing to announce.

"Glendale, Kate and Mr. Shark, you are the last ones to be safe in this challenge! Izzy and Clover, sorry to say this, but you're booted from the game." Topher announced. "You two were definitely some big personalities!"

Glendale and Clover's panic into a maddening state of frustration.

"Can Chloe do that stuff?!" Clover shouted. "That's so unfair!"

"I know. That's Total Drama for you."

"But that's so messed up and kinda useful, but still messed up!" Glendale whined, as Clover looked mad.

"Clover, Izzy, it's time to leave the show! But you're going to be joined by one more person during the disqualification vote! It's down to Jack Horner, Angelia, Spamton and Fenneko

Clover and Izzy looked quite surprised.

*Glendale's confessional*

"If I can't vote off Chloe, then I gotta make her feel bad or hurt her!"

She looked at the camera to whisper.

"I know how to do both."

*Jack Horner's confessional*

He was steaming red.

"I can't believe that I might go home this early in the game all because the puppet guy teleported me up there! But you know what, I might need him for something and those two ladies aren't worth anything yet!"

*Confessional cut*


The 73 safe contestants were having a late night voting session and it was between Jack Horner, Angelia, Spamton and Fenneko which was going to be pretty awkward to say the least.

If only because Fenneko was chilling in her seat.

"Uh, you might get eliminated today if you keep this stuff up!" Katswell shouted.

"I don't know about that since I've definitely noticed that the other three are more annoying personalities, especially since Angelia looks and acts like she's 9." Fenneko said. "Not to mention, Jack Horner is very much insecure and Spamton's a car salesman of the sleaziest kind and did an accidental sabotage."

"So, what you're saying is that you think this will be easy."

"I'm just saying that I didn't piss anyone off here except maybe Jack Horner."

Fenneko and Katswell were relaxing together, both wearing shades of grey in very different ways, one in a spy suit and the other in sweatpants, wonder if they made the right choice for the game.

Sometime had passed, thoujgh.

"You wanna vote for Spamton?" Katie Mitchell asked.

"Yeah." The fox and cat both said.

'

Judy wanted to wave at Shigeo for completing the challenge, but Dark Pit and Asahi looked at her with some misplaced disdain.

"Yeesh, tough challenge." Judy spoke to herself, before composing herself.

Everyone, no matter if they were eliminated, safe or got voted for, paid attention to Topher walking up with confidence.

"Welcome back to the elimination space, campers! Has a whole different vibe after getting some good exercise on top of Mount Drama, huh? Besides, the other cooks cooked up something!" Topher announced. "A box of chicken nuggets that you can eat."

Topher saw that Mr. Smee ran in with the boxes with each having a missing nugget.

"Three boxes for three safe contestants! The one with the most votes will get sent down the Rockslide of Shame because every one of you guys have at least five votes!"

Mr. Smee held the nuggets in an awkward manner, as Schnitzel walked up in a grumble, as the two older chefs were just standing there.

Spamton's teeth were shaking in his arm stubs, Jack Horner looked ready to explode and Angelia crossed her arms like a proper spoiled brat.

Fenneko, though?

"Fenneko, you got those five votes because apparently you're smug."

Fenneko got thrown some chicken nuggets and looked offended.

"Crud, I sullied myself."

"Jack Horner, Spamton and Angelia, somehow all of you have at least ten votes, which doesn't surprise me."

Schnitzel then talked his talk.

"Rada rada rada rada."

Jack Horner just huffed.

"People just don't like the way that I live as a bad guy is all."

"Rada, rada rada rada rada."

Spamton deflated.

"Oh. My time's here [half off]."

"Rada rada, rada rada rada!"

Angelia looked extremely displeased.

"Do you think that I'm going to let a living rock get to me? No, because I'm not worried!"

"Spamton G. Spamton, you got about 15 votes!"

"Yeah! Holy [Cungadero], I got a good second chance!" Spamton shouted, basically holding the box of nuggets like a prized treasure. "I bet these taste good!"

Jack Horner scoffed at the crowd, as Angelia looked quite shocked.

"This man is a self-proclaimed supervillain, how am I getting so much lacklustre reception compared to a man like him?" Angelia asked, as the crowd of guest gave her a serious look.

"Wait, no, she's actually right. She's just a spoiled brat." Jack Horner casually stated. "With ridiculous powers and kinda cuteeeeee."

"Argh, shut up, Mr. Horner-"

"Enough! Believe it or not, it was way closer than you'd think! One of you has 4 less votes, which means a lot when there's 60 votes left to deal with!"

Jack Horner grabbed his box of nuggets with some trouble, but Angelia looked just about ready to kill everyone with her disbelief.

"Told your ridiculous powers would get you into trouble." Jack Horner said. "Even if it was a few seconds ago."

"No, you will join me in due time! This is quite a ridiculous result." Angelia huffed and puffed all over.

"Jack, you got 28 votes, it's not that ridiculous! Still impressed that Angelia has 32 of them, though." Topher announced. "Sorry, Angelia, you're going to join Clover and Izzy on the slide!"

Angelia was deliberately charging her up power, before getting hit by a chemical ball that stopped her power in her tracks.

"Honey Lemon, thanks!"

Angelia could only shout.

"Why me? Why does it have to be me? Jack's a worse person!"

The many people that voted for the being that was basically a child for all intents were feeling a little guilty, but Angelia was kinda whisked away off-camera.


Before Clover sighed and decided to cut her losses, Angelia and Izzy got to talk to each other with sheer fascination.

"I voted for Jack Horner because he's a villain." Izzy remarked.

"Well, me too." Angelia replied. "I can't believe how cute you are!"

"Well, I cannot believe how cute you are!"

These two snuggled with each other.

"At least I learned a lot about this weird world that I got sent to and I learned about what necks do!" Izzy shouted. "Plus maybe you're not so bad."

"Thank you. I got to show off my awesome power at least."

Angelia and Izzy saw Clover slide down the rocky place towards the bus that would send each of them home and Topher had to do one more thing.

"Why does it feel like this one took a long time to come out? Well, whatever, three people got eliminated and just about everyone got familiar with some explosions, just another good episode of Total Drama! Stay on the channel for some more Hotel Rockies!"


Holy shart, this challenge was basically like trying to pull something out of a hat but it's an actual hat with water inside! Not as hard as you'd think, but not really conducive to make an lean chapter which is kinda like the previous two chapters!

I still have no idea StaticShock01's so punctual with his 20,000 word chapters (930,000 word total as for 14th June 2024) and I have no idea why he's easing up on the eliminations unlike this one!

Realistically speaking, it should have taken quite a bit less time, but I do tend to not use the computer as much and Winter Warriors takes up a fair bit of my fanfiction writing energy.

From literally being first place to getting eliminated, Angelia Avalone may not have been one of my favourite fufilled requests in the game, but she's definitely enthusiastic and curious spoiled brat since she's a very powerful child. Basically, cannon fodder in a way that kinda sucks.

As for Clover, Chloe only had a few episodes to her name while Clover has a boyfriend, a whole arc and an awkward relationship position that wouldn't really benefit her here since Rock isn't in this season.

Clover and Rock will defeat an intergalactic war lord, break up and become edgy assholes in their next season (as usual for every other TD crossover, which I don't know why it's like that.)

And finally, Izzy Moonbow's basically an analogue to Raggedy Ann in Homespun, too nice to not be villain bait and though she has some good magic, she's also pretty clumsy. (Even if Chloe made her falling down too obvious)

Goshdarn, Chloe's a little shitter today and will she be more of a shitter when there's actually teams in the next challenge? Yeah, definitely.
