A/N and so we reach London. The Episode I love and hate. I love everything but Noah's elimination, and of course the beginning of the love triangle. Seriously Noah works his ass off for once and of course thats when he goes home. Luckily this isn't canon, so No one is returning and there will be no love triangle. I have something else in mind.
Team Conquest is shown in first class as the episode begins. "Last time on Total Drama World Tour." The plane is shown crashing, followed by shots of the contestants panicking. "We had some mechanical difficulties." The plane is shown crash landing on the beach, followed by a shot of the waterfall they'd jumped from last challenge. "And ended up in hot water Jamaica style. No problem."
Tyler is shown crashing into the back wall of the plane, passed out in the infirmary and being taken away in the ambulance. "Except for Tyler , who's concussion was a major problem.." Chris and Chef are shown lounging as they are given water, then the race track from last episode is shown. "Stranded and without gas money, we had to improvise." Xena is shown breaking the board. Amy and Topher are shown flying through the air after hitting the broken board. "Thanks to a little sabotage from Xena Team Valkyrie lost." Amy and Topher are both shown leaving. "And thanks to a tie both Amy and Topher took the drop of shame."
the counter reaching 500,000 was shown. "But thanks to a rocking telethon that raised a tank load of cash from our viewers," The peanut gallery answering phones is shown. "Hey thanks for that eh?" The plane is shown taking off. "We're ready to get back in the air."
Chris and Chef are shown in the cockpit to end the recap. "Vacation's over! It's time for some more, Total! Drama! Woooorrrrlllddd~ Tooouuurrrr~!"
Intro
A stage light pops up in front of the CN tower, we switch to the interior of the plane as another light pops out of the ceiling, outside the plane a camera pops out of the engine startling a raccoon, we see a suitcase pop open and a clap board is used. The camera moves through first class passing a drink cart on the way and causing Chris to jump out of the aisle.
Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;
(Chef is in the cockpit, the cook gives the camera glare as it passes through. The camera moves past several baggage trucks.)
You guys are on my mind!
(The camera moves past the CN tower and dives into the water.)
Ya asked me what I wanted to be,
(Lightning is swimming in the water when he spots a shark and begins to fight with it.)
And now I think the answer is plain to see!
(Harold stands on top of the straw roof of a hut on a woven boat. An oar flies threw the air to hit him.)
I wanna be...famous!
(Amber and Topher are fighting on the boat, and it is clear one of them accidently hit Harold in the tussle. Crocodiles leap from the water snapping their jaws. The boat moves off screen and we see a crocodile wince on the word be. The camera moves back to the boat revealing it had run into an inflatable raft where Alejandro is standing. Amber panics and tries to help while Topher just laughs.)
I wanna live close to the sun!
(The camera moves to the statue of liberty, we cut to the top where Brick is offering Jo a helping hand, only for her to grab it and body slam him instead.)
Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!
(Tyler runs past the two, pushing a baby carriage holding Noah. Max is nearby and the jock trips over her, sending Noah flying out of the carriage and into a sign.)
Everythin' to prove,
(Noah lands in Eva's arms as she stands on a tundra. He gives her a grateful smile.)
Nothin' in my way;
I'll get there one day.
(We pan right where Amy rolls her eyes. A polar bear taps on her shoulder and she looks horrified, but then Dawn and Ella calm the bear and Amy smiles.)
'Cause I wanna be...famous!
(We zoom in past ice caps to see Duncan and Gwen surfing a giant wave. It seems to be too much as they are swept up in the surf.)
Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa
(Xena and Anne Maria are walking across a New York City crosswalk. They are startled as the jet passes them, sending leaves through the air. We switch to a scene of the contestants in a human pyramid atop the jet, wearing parachutes and kicking in beat. The bottom row contains Jo, Anne Maria, Harold, Max, Xena, and Brick. The first row up contains Topher, Amber Alejandro, Eva, and Noah, the next row up contains Duncan, Gwen, Amy, and Tyler, on top of the pyramid is Lightning holding Ella and Dawn on one of his shoulders each.)
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)
(The plane passes big ben,causing the clock face to pop out. It passes the arc de Triomphe causing a mime to drop his croissant. It flies past a rock balancing on.a stone pillar, knocking it off and causing it to fall in front of the camera kicking up dust)
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)
(The dust clears to show, Ella and Dawn smiling at one another, It pans to show Eva glaring, then down to Jo.)
(The lyrics end and we see Chef Hatchet glare. He turns the plane, sending all the contestants falling through the air in parachutes. Everyone but Max lands in front of a sign with the show's name on it. As the song ends Max lands face first in the middle of the group)
Intro end
We see the jumbo jet flying through the air before we focus on economy class. Despite winning the last challenge team Conquest is seated on the left bench, while Team Chris and Team Valkyrie sits on the right.
"Ugh. We won last time and we don't even get first class!" Eva complained.
"Well Chris said he needed first class for whatever reason. And you know what he needs-" Noah began.
"He takes." Alejandro finished.
The focus shifted over to the other two teams. Jo seemed really annoyed. "I can't believe this! We lost two members and all because the track was broken?!"
"I agree. It was very unfair to your team. I'm not even sure how the board got broken." Brick said.
"I don't need your pity!" The jockette snapped.
Brick looked a little upset. Dawn smiled at him. "She really appreciates it. She just doesn't want to be seen as weak because of the way people have treated her in the past."
"Dawn! Shut your mouth!" Jo said, a light blush on her face.
[Confessional]
Jo: Okay Dawn is getting really annoying. Seriously does the girl not know the meaning of private thoughts?
Static
Xena places a bucket full of a white goop next to Gwen. "Place your burnt hand into the bucket."
"Thanks." Gwen sighed happily as she placed her hand in.
"It is the least I can do. We need you at your best." Xena replied. "At least it was only your hand that was injured."
"Yeah, again, I'm sorry about that…" Tyler said.
/
Gwen is lying on a lounge chair in her bikini asleep, her sensetive skin covered by an umbrella. Tyler dives into the umbrella to catch a frisbee someone from off screen has thrown. "I've got it!" He runs off, not noticing the umbrella has tilted slightly, leaving Gwen's hand in the sun.
/
"I know you didn't mean to." Gwen sighed. "By the way, what is this anyway?"
"A healing concotion made of several ingredints. Primarily green tea and bird guano." Xena replied.
"Guano? Isn't that?" Gwen swallowed. "Poop."
"Yes, but it's helping is it not?" The over logical girl replied.
"Yes. Yes it is." The goth sighed.
The focus shifted back over to Team Conquest. "We're on a winning streak. If we keep this up we'll have no issues making the merge." Alejandro smirked.
"Just don't get too ahead of yourself." Noah scoffed from next to him. "Who knows when Chris will merge us. It could be pretty late."
The Spaniard smirked. "Why Noah, are you worried about me?"
"Please, I'm just trying to keep your ego in check." The cynic smirked.
"Worried it might overshadow your own?" Alejandro asked.
"More worried the plane will implode if it gets any bigger." Noah said.
The focus shifted over to Duncan. "Do you see how well they're getting along? You really think they're gonna vote each other out? We gotta stick together." He told Eva.
The iron woman frowned. "Whatever, I'm gonna go to the confessional."
[Confessional}
Eva: Ugh. I don't wanna do this whole strategy thing. I agreed to the alliance with Alejandro and Noah so I wouldn't have to. And now? Duncan makes a point. [ she punches the wall] My head hurts.
Static.
Eva exited the confessional to find Brick was there. "Oh, did you need the confessional?"
"Yeah, this whole Jo thing is really confusing. I can't tell if Dawn's right about her liking me or not." Brick admitted.
"Well it's all you-" Eva paused. "Do you hear that?"
Brick cocked his head. "Yeah. Chris and Chef are talking."
"We should see what's up." The iron woman said. She walked down the hallway to a set of double doors, Brick on tail.
Chris' voice is now clear enough to hear. "He's desperate. She'll take them out like a lion preying on a flock of chubby asthmatic gazelles."
The two peer into first class, both their expressions concerned. "But if she takes them out, takes them out?" Chef asked.
"Legal says we're clear, and think of the ratings! That clip will score major hits online." Chris said. Brick leaned forward to hear better and his head bumped the door. He gasped. "Did you hear something?" Chris asked. The figure turned and both tried to run away the the figure was there when they turned around. Brick screamed, as Eva looked ready to fight, and the screen cut to black.
The map transition screen is shown before quickly cutting to Chris and Chef in the cockpit. "Attention helpless passengers, we've been denied permission to land." The scene shifts to economy class. "So you're gonna hafta jump." All the contestants complained. "And Chef may have miscounted parachutes."
Chef glared. "I'm a cook not a mathematician!"
"So you might wanna light a pepper under your butts and grab one before they're gone." Chris finished.
/
The contestants are shown to have their parachutes on and are jumping from the plane one by one. All except Alejandro and Noah, who look at the one remaining parachute with a frown.
Noah groaned. "Life why do you hate me so!"
/
The viewpoint is beneath the plane as Alejandro and Noah jump out. The smaller male is screaming. We cut to the ground where all the other contestants have landed on a bridge next to a double decker bus. They have piled the parachutes in a pile.
"Oh my gosh! London. Do you know how much dark history is here?! They've got an entire museum dedicated to the ways people used to be tortured!" Gwen said.
"Yeah, it's pretty rad." Duncan agreed. "My favorite serial killer is from here."
"Mine too!" The goth gasped. "Is it,"
The goth's question is interrupted by Noah screaming as he and Alejandro finally land on the bridge perfectly fine. "You can stop screaming now." the Spaniard said.
Noah blinked. "Huh, for some reason I was sure we'd crash. These parachutes aren't meant for two people."
"You only weigh as much as half a person. So we're fine." Alejandro smirked. Noah glared at him.
/
Everyone is seated on the bus, Gwen is sitting in the back, Xena is next to her, Alejandro sits in the seat across with Noah. Ahead of them is Tyler and Duncan and across from them is Anne Maria, and in front are Jo and Dawn.
Chris stands at the front of the bus and Jo looks around. "Where's Brick, not that I noticed."
"Come to think of it, Eva's missing too." Noah noted.
Chris frowned. "Yes, where are they? The answer in a sec, but first: Gun it Chef!" The cook slammed his foot on the gas, and the bus started. "London, home to loads of wicked stuff." The host began. "Big ben, the london eye, the sandwich stuffed with french fries, known as the chip buddy,"
"Not to mention the host that never gets to the point." Jo scoffed.
Chris glared at her for a brief moment before continuing. "London's also home to Scotland yard, the world's biggest crime busting outfit, " Chris frowned ominously. "but there was one case even Scotland yard couldn't crack," At this he narrowed his eyes and smiled. " Jack the ripper!" Everyone gasped.
Chris pulled out a picture of the figure that had gotten Brick and Eva earlier. "The wacko serial killer who terrorized Victorin London. Today you'll be tracking that bad boy down," His voice took on a sneakily cautious tone. "but be careful Jack's also hunting you. That's why both Team Chris and Team Conquest are now shorthanded."
"Oh no! They got Brick!" Tyler gasped.
"What? You're telling me that pipsqueak took Eva down?" Noah rolled his eyes. "I smell a rat."
"Next stop: tower of London." Chris announced.
"You think Brick's okay?" Jo asked. "Not that I care. It's good for us, right?"
"Jo, it's okay to be worried about him." Dawn told her.
"I'm not!" The jockette protested.
The focus shifted further back on the bus. Duncan looks excited."We get to do a whole challenge based on Jack the Ripper?! Sweet!"
"I know right," Gwen said from her seat. " I know all about him. I did my grade six speech on him! The teacher said my fascination was disturbing and occasionally offensive."
"Dude never got caught by the cops. He was that good." Duncan smirked.
"You'll be hard to beat in this challenge." The goth smirked.
"Especially considering I know all about the tower of London." Alejandro bragged.
"So do I. And honestly the stuff that went down there scares me even more than the ripper. Monarchs had way too much power back then." Noah said.
"Do not count us out. I too know the tower of London." Xena said.
"Wow. So it's gonna be your dream team against mine. This could be really fun." Gwen said.
"How could you say that?! Brick's been captured!" Tyler said.
"Relax, its a challenge. He's fine." Gwen reassured him.
The tower of london is shown as Chris begins to talk again, At the base stands three British guards. They were elderly men with each wore top hats with flowers around the rim, high collars, and a red and gold uniform.
"Your challenge is to follow a series of clues through the tower complex. All the way to the ripper's secret lair." Chris pulled out a couple of burlap sacks. "Bag the criminal mastermind before he gets you, and you win." He put the bags back behind his back. "Your first clue will be found during the 'changing of the guard' and when I say change I mean change the guards."
He gestures to both the guards with his hands. ". Your clue is hidden in his uniform, so one of you has to strip him down to his gitch until you find it. " He gave them an evil look, and a gleaming smile.
"Strip a dude?! No way!" Tyler said.
"Up to you bro, million bucks that's all I'm saying. and while you're at it." The bell went off and the musical note appeared in the upper right corner. Everyone groaned
[Song sixteen Changing guard mix.]
We see a close up of one of the guards faces to start. Alejandro waves his hand in front of his face as he begins the song."It's unnerving how they stand there, and don't even blink."
Duncan wrinkles his nose in disgust. "I don't wanna see his skin all bare and pink"
Noah approached the guard from the other side. He taps him on the shoulder. "Hey buddy, can we bribe you," He made motions up and down his body. " to strip yourself down!"
Duncan holds up a fist. "I could always threaten him."
Noah rolled his eyes. "Does this look like a shakedown? "
The focus shifted over to Team Chris. Tyler shakes his head. "There's no way I can strip him. He's an old dude!"
Gwen showed her burnt hand. "And I've got my injury,"
Tyler nodded. "So you're not in the mood."
Xena sighed. "Well someone has to do this, so I guess it will be me."
Gwen looked Shocked. "Xena you'd really do that?"
Tyler smiled. "We'd be grateful see!"
Gwen:
If we're gonna find that clue,
Tyler: There's only one thing to do,
Xena walks over to the guard to begin. "I guess I have to strip him down, though I do not want to!"
Alejandro and Noah have sneaky looks on their faces..
Alejandro: If we're gonna find that clue,
Noah: There's only one thing to do,
Alejandro: Force someone to strip him down,
Both boys push Duncan at the guard as they sing. "and Duncan dude that's you!"
The focus shifted to Team Valkyrie. Jo Scoffed. "So someone has to strip him? Well I'll do so quick enough!" She walked over to the guard.
Anne Maria rolled her eyes. "I wouldn't do it anyway,"
Dawn looks nervous. "Just try not to be rough."
Jo is shown throwing off the guard's hat and collar as she sings. "Yeah we're gonna find that clue,"
The focus shifted to Gwen as a hat landed on her head. "we're doing what Chris proposed."
The focus shifted to Alejandro and Noah.
Alejandro: Force someone to strip him down,
Alejandro and Noah: cause if we don't we're hosed.
Alejandro inadvertently pushes Noah away as he spreads his arms.
Alejandro: Totally ho-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-osed!
Some time later Jo takes off the guard's shoe. The clue falls out. Dawn catches it. "Pulled taut atop a southern spire."
"To the southern spire! Hurry!" Jo insisted. Dawn barely manages to keep up but Anne Maria quickly falls behind.
Meanwhile with Team Conquest Duncan finds the clue in the breast pocket of the guard's coat. Noah read it. "Pulled taut atop a southern spire. Easy. let's go!" The cynic said attempting to lead the way. Both Duncan and Alejandro overtake him quickly, with the punk rolling his eyes and slinging Noah over his shoulder.
/
Despite leaving first all members of both teams arrive at the same time. They walk into a room with three racks, along with other medieval torture devices, including an iron maiden.
Noah and Alejandro are staring with wide eyes. "This is the room Ann Boleyn stayed in until Henry the VIII beheaded her!" They said in unison.
"Wow, underneath all that masculine charm and muscle you really are nothing but a nerd." Duncan smirked at Alejandro.
"I just wanna know what the weird tables are." Jo huffed.
Chef came into the room wearing an executioner's outfit. "This is a medieval torture rack." He told them, "Clue's inside, you need to stretch someone on it."
"Fine. Hey tan in a can, I found a job for you!" Jo said. Then she frowned. "Where is she anyway?"
"She's somewhere in the building." Dawn said.
/
Anne Maria is trying to climb up the stairs. She is clearly out of breath. "Stupid Jo. Not all of us are wearing running shoes." She takes a second to gasp. "Why did they ever make places with so many stairs?"
/
Back with Team Chris, Xena has stripped the guard down to his undershirt and a pair of boxers with a union jack on them. "I have no idea where the clue could be hiding. I suggest we search his clothes. There's no way Chris would be allowed to hide it in his undergarments."
"I'm surprised you missed it." Gwen noted.
"With all three of us looking we'll find it." Tyler said.
/
Anne Maria is still heading up the stairs when a shadow looms over her. She freezes. "Please tell me that's just team Chris." She turned and screamed as the focus shifted outside.
The figure exits the building with a large sack that looks to be full. "And then there were eight." Chris said. The view moved out to show the host. "Will anybody survive the ripper, and this show?"
"You 'd betta not ruin my poof with this kidnapping!" Anne Maria screamed from inside the bag.
"Come back after the break." Chris continued. "Where we'll try and answer at least a couple of these questions."
/
The episode returns to show Team Chris is still outside. "We have done a pretty thorough search, but so far no clue." Xena frowned.
"He's still wearing his pantyhose. Maybe it's in there?" Gwen suggested.
Xena sighed. "I was hoping to avoid that." She moved to check.
"Wait! I'll do it. You've done enough." Tyler said.
"I," Xena began, but Tyler was already moving to take off the pantyhose. With his teeth? "Tyler using your hands would be more productive."
"Oh good, I was kind of weirded out by that idea." Tyler chuckled. He moved to take off the pantyhose but his fingers were strong enough that they inadvertantly tore the thin fabric. As it turned out this was lucky as the clue flew out.
Gwen caught it and read it. "We need to go to the southern spire."
Everyone took off but Tyler tripped on the way. Before he could call out a shadow fell over him. He screamed.
/
Back in the tower Jo and Duncan are both tied down to the racks.
"I can't believe you volunteered for this." Alejandro smirked at Duncan.
"I've always wondered what it's like to be racked." The punk shrugged.
"Guess we're lucky Duncan's a freak." Noah deadpanned. Duncan opened his mouth to retort but Noah was already turning the crank.
Dawn looked nervous. "Are you sure you don't want me to do it?"
"My pain tolerance is definitely better." The jockette said. Reluctantly Dawn began to turn the crank.
Xena and Gwen enter the room and see what the other teams are doing. "Guess we're racking someone. Tyler, how flexible are you?" Gwen asked.
Xena's eyes widened as she looked around. "I believe Tyler has been captured by the ripper."
"So it's just us?'' Gwen sighed. "Fine rack me, you stripped the guard."
The focus shifted over to Dawn. Jo has a scowl on her face. "Hey tree hugger, go faster. I barely feel anything!"
"I'm sorry. Torture makes me feel so bad." The moonchild said.
"I'm literally letting you do this! Hurry it up!" The jockette said.
"You want to reach the end of the challenge as soon as you can so you can see if Brick's alright." Dawn said. It was not a question.
"What? No way! If he's captured that's good for me! I want you to hurry so we win!" Jo snapped.
/
With Team Chris, Xena has tied Gwen to the rack. "I apologize but I will not be holding back. To make up for lost time I must stretch you at top speed."
"What do you meeeeeeaaaaaaaaan!" Gwen's said her last word interrupted as Xena spun the wheel as quickly as she could. Soon enough a compartment at the head of the rack opened. Xena took the enevlope.
""If your teammate can still use her feet. Bring her down for something to eat? Must be the banquet hall." Xena noted.
"Will you please get me off this thing?" Gwen groaned.
"Certainly. I do hope you'll be able to walk." The over logcial girl said.
The focus shifted over to Team Conquest. Duncan was gritting his teeth at this point, clearly trying not to scream. One last turn and the compartment opened for them. "Okay. If your teammate can still use her feet. Bring her down for something to eat?" Noah read. "Easy."
"To the banquet hall!" Alejandro declared. They prepared to run off.
"Hey moron's you need to untie me!" Duncan snapped.
"Right. Sorry dude you got too good at being quiet." Noah smirked.
At this point Xena has untied Gwen. "Can you stand?"
"Yes, but I'm not sure how fast I'll be." The goth said.
"Very well then. As I am responible for your condition I will assist you myself." With that Xena picked Gwen up and put her on her back. "Let us leave." With that they exited.
Over with Team Conquest Duncan is still tied down. "What's taking so long?!" The punk asked.
"Someone, is too good at tying knots." Noah glared at Alejandro.
The Spaniard looked sheepish. "I always did under estimate my strength."
Noah sighed. "Even with both of us working at it, this may take a while."
/
In the banquet hall Xena sets Gwen down. She began to look through a chest. "Gold toothpick, emerald studded toothbrush, such an illogical use of precious materials." The Overlogical girl noted.
the sounds of dogs can be heard off screen. The two turned to see a pack of corgi's growling at them. Gwen seemed nervous. "Hey got anything round in there?"
Xena looked and frowned. "Negatory, the closest thing is this faberge egg," She remarked holding up a decorative egg in green, blue and gold. "But it is more ovular than round."
"It'll work! Give it to me." Gwen said, Xena did so. The goth held the egg over her head and instantly the corgi's gained playful looks and panted. "That's right follow the shiny ball," She said tossing it from one hand to another. "Now sit." The corgi's sat.
"Where did you learn obedience training?" Xena asked.
"I taught my lizards," Gwen said, spinning the egg on her finger. "I guess corgis are just as trainable and inbred." The egg popped open revealing the clue. Nice."
Xena read the clue. "The ripper's most natural place, has two levels that make up the space. Go grab your sack, to bring the guy back, at the red starting line to the race." Xena frowned. "I am not sure what this could mean. I don't think this challenge had a starting line. Nor am I convinced it's a race."
"The ripper's most natural space…" Gwen trailed. "If I remember right he did most of his dirty work in whitechapel."
"That seems a little off the beaten path, but as I have no ideas I will defer to your judgment.
/
Back in the rack room Duncan is finally untied. "About time now let's hurry!"
Team Conquest exited the room and the focus moved over to Team Valkyrie the compartment popped open. "That took way too long! We're behind!" Jo complained.
"Sorry. I wanted to cause as little pain as possible." Dawn's eyes widened. "I have to untie you!"
"Forget me! What does the clue say?" The jockette asked.
"You don't understand Jo, he's close by." Dawn said.
"Who the ripper?" Jo said.
"Yes, although that's not his true identity. It's actually-" The moonchild began but before she can spoil it for the audience a shadow falls over the two of them. They both scream.
/
Outside the Banquet hall the three members of Team Conquest stand. They look inside. "Place's ransacked. Team Chris was already here." Duncan noted.
"That could be good for us. We'll know where not to look." Alejandro said.
"That box seems promising. It looks like it's been rumaged through." Noah said.
"Great. Then you two can go get it and I'll stand guard." Duncan said.
"Duncan, are you stupid? That would leave you totally vulnerable." Noah frowned.
"And?" The punk said.
Noah and Alejandro shrugged and went inside.
/
Duncan is outside when a sound can be heard. He smirked. "I knew you couldn't resist. Who needs to follow all these clues when you can lure the killer right to you." Jack appeared next to him as though from nowhere. Duncan smirked, took out his knife and went to grab him, but Jack managed to stab his hand. The punk scoffed as he picked the ripper up. "You really think a knife is going to stop me? You barely broke the skin."
Then we see a first person shot from Duncan, his vision starts clouding over. Once we switch back to third person we see the punk begin to sway. "What the, did you coat the knife with something?" The punk fell over.
/
Inside the banquet hall Noah checked the egg immediately. "I knew it. The clue's in here."
"Excellent, read it aloud." Alejandro said from off screen.
"What did you think I was going to do?" Noah scoffed, turning toward the voice his eyes shot wide open. Alejandro is being swarmed by corgis snuggling him. "Dude. Do you just give off attractive pheromones all the time?"
"I cannot help it if animals like me." The Spaniard shrugged. "Besides, you're just jealous it's me and not you."
Noah huffed. "Whatever. The clue. The ripper's most natural place, has two levels that make up the space. Go grab your sack, to bring the guy back, at the red starting line to the race. Sure easy peasy."
"Where did we start the race?" Alejandro asked.
"On the plane." Noah deadpanned.
"No, I mean, the challenge itself. It was a double decker bus right?" The Spaniard smirked.
The cynic looked impressed, but tried to hide it. "I'm sure i could have figured it out soon enough."
"I'm sure." The charmer replied.
/
They walked back outside. "Duncan, we're pretty sure we know where the ripper is." Alejandro said.
Noah looked at the ground. "Isn't that Duncan's pocket knife?"
Alejandro picked it up. "Indeed. I think we can safely say Duncan was captured."
"Well guess we'd better finish this quickly." The cynic said. He looked at Alejandro.
/
Xena and Gwen are elsewhere in London directly outside of what appears to be a club of some kind. "I guess I forgot most of white chapel would be closed." The goth said.
"This club is open, but I do not think the ripper is there. Too many civilians." The blonde said.
"Guess my hunch sucked. Sorry." The goth said.
"It matters not. So long as one of the other teams has less members we'll be in second." Xena replied.
Gwen smiled. "Yeah. And second, it's not bad."
/
We see Alejandro and Noah have returned to the outside of the tower of london. There was a double decker bus. The two tip toed forward nervously. They opened the bus door and we see the interior. Nothing.
Alejandro moved ahead holding the bag in one hand, with Noah trailing close by. "No sign of him yet." The Spaniard noted. Behind him the ripper dropped down from the ceiling and grabbed Noah, covering his mouth so he couldn't scream.
Alejandro frowned. "You search the front, I'll search the back? " He asked, turning to see Noah was gone. "Noah?" He faced forward and gasped as he saw Noah being pushed into a glass booth at the back of the bus. His expression quickly turned from surprise to rage.
"You made a mistake grabbing Noah that way. You're unarmed." The Spaniard said.
The ripper's eyes widened in realization. He quickly began to look around. The focus shifted to show the ripper's knife embedded just behind Alejandro, where the ripper had dropped it to grab Noah. Alejandro smirked and picked up the knife. Then he pulled out Duncan's. "I was in the circus, you know." He remarked before throwing both knives at the ripper. He tried to dodge but still ended up pinned down.
Alejandro walked over and placed the ripper in his sack, returning the knives to his hands. He turned and opened the door. Noah huffed. "Show off."
"One would think you'd thank me for saving your life." The Spaniard smirked.
"Whatever. Let's just get back to the plane before he tries to escape." The cynic said.
"You're welcome."
/
The plane is shown as the sun sets. We got inside to see the contestants all standing first class, several monitors were showing places from the challenge. Gwen and Xena stood with an empty sack. Disheveled, Alejandro and Noah entered the plane with their sack.
"As expected, everyone is okay." Noah smirked.
"Yeah, you guys were so stupid to be worried." Jo said.
"I'm just mad I didn't get to be part of the challenge! I totally took that ripper guy down, but Chris said now that I knew about the challenge I couldn't participate!" Eva growled. "And you two didn't seem too concerned."
"I figured you were fine." Noah said. "So we caught the ripper type guy!" As he said this Alejandro pulled off the bag with a flourish. Everyone gasped at the person underneath. "Old man Jenkins?!" The face was that of an elderly man with a large bald spot and hair behind the ears.
Noah pulled the mask off. This time the gasps were even louder. "Max?!"
The ripper was indeed Max. He looked exactly as he had when he got voted off. "Yes, it was me! The evil mastermind Max!"
"He's been on the plane this whole time?!" Gwen complained.
"Wait! Maybe he's been the mystery destroyer of objects!" Tyler gasped.
"You know what? That would make sense. That kind of small time villainy is totally up his alley." Duncan said. "And it would explain that weird stuff on the knife that knocked me out. He probably made it himself." He picked up Max. "But you don't have it now. Time to pay for breaking shit."
"Duncan, as much as it would be fun to watch you beat up Max, you'll have to settle for him being thrown off the plane." Chris smirked as Chef grabbed Max and threw him off the plane.
"So obviously Team Conquest wins, and as the team to get captured completely Team Valkyrie loses. But you don't need to worry, because this was a reward challenge! Conquest, freshly made fish and chips await in first class, as does a hint about our next challenge so you can plan beforehand."
Team conquest cheered.

In first class Alejandro and Noah are indulging in the local food. Eva is nowhere to be seen. Duncan stretches and stands up."I'm gonna use the confessional."
As soon as he leaves, Noah turns to Alejandro. "You think he's planning something?"
"Likely. He knows he'll end up voted out next if he doesn't do something." Alejandro Smirked. "But we have a three person alliance so there's not much he can do."

[Confessional]
Eva: I can't believe I missed out on this challenge. And I can't believe Alejandro and weren't even concerned about it. I mean, I get they knew it was a challenge, but still…
[the door to the confessional opens and in walks Duncan.]
Eva: I thought I locked the door?!
Duncan: Lock's busted. Which I guess is good for me. I've been meaning to talk to you.
Eva: Are you still trying to get me to join you in an alliance?
Duncan: You saw how well they were getting along today. Who's to say they won't vote you out once I'm gone?
[Eva frowns looking torn.] Eva: I don't know. It feels wrong, but… can I think about it?
Duncan: Fine but I'd better get an answer soon.
Eva's eyes widened as she pointed outside. They exit the confessional, but at this point whoever was there is gone, a flash of red the only clue.
"Shit. If Alejandro finds out, he might be really mad." Eva frowned.
"Don't worry about it. I'll make sure whoever it is keeps their mouth shut." Duncan smirked.
In the cockpit Chris is watching the confessional with a smirk "Ooh, if they find out Eva's in trouble! Will Tyler tell anyone? Will Duncan beat him to a pulp if he does? And how will this affect Team Conquest? The answers to these questions next time on Total Drama World Tour!"
A/N: Its ironic that the episode where Noah and Alejandro have their falling out in canon has them bonding big time here. I hope i built up to it well, because them being so close was important for our replacement love triangle plotline: Duncan trying to tempt Eva into an alliance. Let's just say things won't go well when its revealed… It's kind of funny that even in this alternate timeline Duncan is the one to cause the big overarching conflict.
I am sorry I had both eva and Brick get captured. I had to. Brick needs to see Jo caring about him, and Eva would definitely take down Max, even with his little sleeping serum he coated his knife with. Speaking of Max, you'll notice he's not feral. And he's gone… for now anyway…
Gwen got to be a power player like she was with canon, but with Xena rather than Courtney. Tyler is the one who saw Duncan and Eva making the alliance. And of course Jo and Dawn are still having their plotline where Dawn can't stop revealing all of Jo's secrets.
See you in Greece. Poor Tyler.
