A/N: Welcome to Sweden. You're in for a treat. We've got a lot of Jock, and I drew a picture of everyone in jumpsuits. Except Xena, because while I do know what she looks like I figure you've all got an image of her now and I don't want to go against it.

The recap began with a map shot of the plane heading to Australia. "Last time on Total Drama World Tour. Australia." The next shot was a pan over the out back. "It will amaze you!" Jo, Dawn, Anne Maria, and Brick are shown riding their emu's. "If it doesn't kill you first." Tyler is shown nearly falling off of hanging rock because of a dingo.. "Here, Alejandro hatched a plot to distract Jo by helping Brick with an injured Tyler" Alejandro is shown helping Tyler on to an emu.. "Which wasn't helped by Anne Maria making comments about Jo's Crush on Brick.." Anne Maria talking to go during their emu ride was shown. "Jo tired to convince Brick that Alejandro's up to no good, but he was brain hurt yet?" Jo confronting Brick on Hanging rock is shown.

"Meanwhile, Duncan made the mistake of trying a little too hard to convince Eva and Noah to get rid of Alejandro." Clips of Duncan talking to Noah and Eva in eccomy class, on their emu ride, and Eva's outburst on hanging rock are shown. "Eva didn't want to stratagize, so Noah offered to choose who to vote for her." Eva and Noah talking on hanging rock is shown.

"In the end Team Conquest lost because of finding the wrong logo on their sheep." Noah reacting to the sight of Chris' face on the sheep was shown. "And Duncan was chosen for the drop of shame." Duncan's jump off the plane is shown.

Back in the cockpit Chris wraps up the recap. "Only nine remain. Who will get the boot next? Find out now. On 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)

The episode proper starts in economy class team Chris on the left bench and Team conquest on the right. The focus is placed on Team Conquest. Eva is clearly in a good mood. "Now that Duncan's gone we can stop worrying about who to vote out and start focusing on the important thing: Winning! Thanks for choosing to eliminate him Noah."

"No problem. I was getting tired of his drama anyway." The cynic noted.

"We mustn't be complacent though. We lost our numbers advantage." Alejandro pointed out.

"Sure, but so long as we can keep the other two teams from working together, they don't have an advantage either. And with Jo's emotional repression, I doubt that will be hard." Noah replied.

[confessional]

Alejandro: Noah cannot be counted on to not vote for me, and if I get too pushy on the topic I'll drive Eva to vote against me. So the plan is twofold. Butter up Eva, and make sure Jo keeps self destructing. With luck the merge will be soon and I won't have to worry about voting out either of my teammates.

Static

The focus is now on Team Chris. "You seem to be in a much better state now Tyler." Xena noted.

"Yeah! And with me back at my best we're sure to win!" Tyler cheered.

Brick looked concerned. "Just don't overdo it soldier. You may not be completely recovered."

"I feel recovered! Don't worry about me! Thanks to the two of you and Alejandro I'm fine!" The jock said. "Thanks for that bros."

"You are very welcome." Alejandro replied from the bench across.

"I appreciate your enthusiasm, but please err on the side of caution." the cadet said.

[confessional]

Tyler: I'm glad Brick cares about me, but I'm in tip top shape now! I gotta make up for not being any help last challenge.

Static

In first class it quickly becomes apparent that Jo is not enjoying herself. "Ugh. Brick's back there with Al! What if he convinces Brick to team up with his team?!"

"Okay, Drama queen. Why don't you just admit you're concerned about Brick being taken advantage of because of your crush on him?" Anne Maria scoffed, at the moment she was getting a massage.

"I'm not crushing on him!" The jockette complained.

"Jo, all this emotional repression is extremely bad for you. There's so much stress in your aura." Dawn said.

"Yeah I'm stressed! Brick is in economy class with the most emotionally manipulative person in Total Drama history! Who knows what Al's planting in his head!" Jo snapped.

"You're worried about him cause you care." Anne Maria told her.

"I am not!" Jo told her, walked over to a plate of chocolate chip cookies and taking two of them. "I'm gonna check on him."

"And give him a cookie." The jersey reject teased.

"I just need an excuse to go back there! Besides it's a bribe!" The jockette claimed as she exited first class.

Dawn sighed. "I'm worried about her." She said as she took a cookie for herself.

"She's just being an idiot." Anne Maria said.

[Confessional]

Anne Maria: I am getting real sick of Jo's denial.

Jo entered economy class with her cookies. She sat down next to Brick. "Hey. I uh. Brought you something?" She said, handing him one of them.

"That's very generous of you Jo." Brick smiled, taking a bite.

"Yeah, well its just to make sure you don't turn against me." The jockette claimed. "So uh, has Al asked you for anything?"

The cadet sighed. "No he hasn't. It is really that unlikely that he was simply trying to help?"

"It's Alejandro. You can never be too careful." Jo said, taking a bite of her own cookie.

"I understand your concern, but I'm not sure its needed." Brick said. "Still, it's nice to know you care."

"I only care because I don't want you teaming up with him. That's all." The jockette huffed.

[Confessional]

Brick: Jo has a strange way of showing it, but its clear she does care about me. And considering where we started off, I'm very proud of the progress she's made.

Static

A short map shot of the plane in north Europe quickly transitions to the jet crash landing on icy ground. One flash transition later and all of the contestants are standing on the ice in front of Chris, once again wearing his warm much all the contestants were freezing to some extent.

"Welcome to Sweden." The host said in a terrible impression of a Swedish accent.

"Where are those jackets you said you ordered in the Yukon!" Anne Maria demanded.

"Um, I worked pretty hard on that accent. It would have been nice if someone commented." Chris frowned.

"D-dude. A-are you serious?" Tyler stammered.

"Hello! Sweden?" Chris sighed and walked away, clearly irritated.

Noah turned to Eva and wrapped his arms around her. "You're lucky it's you. I've punched people for less." The iron woman said.

"I-I f-figured you were okay with it last time. S-so…" Noah shuddered.

The focus shifted over to Jo looking at Noah and Eva. She glanced at Brick. "You know, no one would think less of you if you huddled with him." Dawn noted quietly.

"I-I wasn't thinking about that!" Jo huffed.

"Jo, you have to stop repressing your feelings. It's hurting you." The moonchild whispered.

"If you weren't thinking about that, then why are you lookin' at him?" Anne Maria asked.

"To make sure Al's not trying anything!" The jockette snapped. Storming off a little.

"Jo? Jo!" Dawn called, walking after her.

Anne Maria jumped as a hand was placed on her shoulder.

"I do apologize, but I noticed some fighting over here." Alejandro said.

"It's just Jo being stupid. Like her feelings for Brick are so obvious! I tell ya that girl is in some serious denial." Anne Maria said.

"Well, I think you're doing the right thing trying to get her to realize." The Spaniard noted before walking off to rejoin his team.

Chris returned with Chef. "The Jackets are here!" Most of the contestants cheered."In six to eight weeks." Everyone groaned.

[confessional]

Noah: I don't know why anyone thought he'd actually get us jackets.

Chris, and Chef stood on a snowy bank surrounded by ice. On the left was team Conquest. In the middle was team Chris. On the right was Team Valkyrie. Before them were three piles of random wood. "Before you is a mysterious pile of I builda tools and pieces. Your first challenge is to use allen keys, wooden sledgehammers, and your wits to turn your piles into whatever they're supposed to be when properly assembled."

"This will be easy." Alejandro smirked.

"Sadly the assembly instructions were accidently shredded when they were put through a shredder." Chris smirked. . "Anywho, first team to correctly assemble their whatchawhosit, will earn a big advantage in part two of the challenge! So go!"

/

Team Misfit are all looking at their pile of wood. "Do either of you have any idea what this is supposed to be?" Jo asked.

"I ain't got a clue. You think I'd do something that strenuous? With these nails?" Anne Maria asked, flashing her nails.

"And I'm more of a naturalist than an industrialist so I know nothing about building." Dawn explained.

Jo glanced over at Brick who is talking with his team. "Maybe we should ask Brick's team. We're still working together as far as I know."

"Please. You just want an excuse ta talk with Brick." Anne Maria scoffed. "So much for keeping your mind on the game."

"My mind is on the game! It's totally on the game! And I'll prove it by building whatever this is by myself!" the jockette declared, rushing to the wood and building.

/

With Team Conquest Noah is examining the wood. "What could this be?"

"I am unsure, but there must be some way of determining it." Alejandro frowned.

Eva scoffed. "We can't spend forever trying to figure it out! I'm getting started." she picked up a piece of wood. "Ugh. Leave it to Chris to put us in a challenge without letting us have lunch. This piece is reminding me of delicious barbecue ribs."

"Eva! You've got it!" Alejandro smirked.

"I do?" The iron woman blinked.

"Of course! We're in scandinavia! Eva, use those planks of wood and that cloth to make a partition so the other teams can't copy us." Noah told her.

"You got it." Eva smirked.

/

With Team Chris Xena is examining the pieces. "Xena, have you figured out what we're building?" Brick asked.

"I believe so." The over logical girl replied. She lifted up a round shield with a pattern of six triangles alternating between light teal and chartruse. "What does this remind you of?"

"Ooh! I know! We have to build a giant horse like those people did to get into that city!" Tyler cheered.

Xena gave him a flat look. "Why exactly would we be building a Trojan horse here instead of in Greece? No, given our location I believe we are building a means of overwater transportation commonly associated with Vikings."

"Oh! That makes sense." Brick looked over at Team Valkyrie. "Oh. I guess we don't have to tell them."

"Indeed, they seem to have already figured it out." Xena nodded.

[Confessional]

Xena: In truth I sincerely doubt Jo knows what she's doing, but if she fails to make a Viking longboat so much the better for my Team.

Static

Jo hammers in the last wooden board and pulls away from her work. "Whew! What do you think of that? I built it all by myself and faster than everyone else."

Anne Maria bursted out laughing. Dawn giggled a little, but managed to stop herself. "Jo. I don't think that's what we were meant to build." She pointed over the jockette's shoulder.

Jo turned and the focus moved out to show that she had build, a giant wooden replica of Brick's head. "Oh you have got to be kidding me!"

"Oh yeah." Anne Maria managed to say in between laughs. "That really proves you're focused on the game and not Brick!"

"Alright Valkyries. What have you got?" Chris asked as he joined them. He took one look at the head and burst out laughing. "Oh! That's too good!"

Jo picked up the large hammer. Before she could do anything however… A familiar ding went off, accompanied by the usual musical note.

"Time for a song!" Chris announced.

The jockette huffed and finally looked over at Team Chris' nearly completed boat. "We're building a boat!" She snapped.

The focus shifted over to Team conquest as Alejandro moved the partition Eva built. "I guess we don't need this anymore."

[Song Twenty: We built Brick's face]

Jo gives an exasperated look and begins the song. "Their both ahead, so how can we go?"

Anne Maria joined in, pointing to the head. " We gotta turn this into a boat, that's something I know!"

Dawn joined the group as they all looked at the replica of Brick's face "No matter how bleak things seem, "

Jo: Victory we can redeem!

Suddenly all three team members are silhouettes on Sweden's flag, when they come into focus they are all holding microphones and standing on a disco floor. Each member is wearing a jumpsuit. Dawn's is dark green, Anne Maria's sparkly hot pink, and Jo's white.

Valkyries: Oh why did we build Brick's face?

The Swedish flag fades to the replica of Bricks' face.

Team Chris' long boat crashes in front of them. Tyler and Brick pop up from behind it. The jock's in a red jumpsuit while Brick's in an army green one. Both sing the next line. "Building this boat wasn't hard to do."

Xena in a light blue jumpsuit, points to the Valkyrie's "But clearly it's too much for you!"

The Valkyrie's put their hands to their chests in an exaggerated display of hurt pride. "OOOH!"

Eva and Alejandro are shown on their boat pulling the mast into place as Noah sings. Eva's in a Black jumpsuit. Alejandro's in an indigo one, and Noah's wearing teal. "Haul up that mast!"

Team Conquest: Valkyrie will come in last, because they built Brick's face!

Team Valkyrie is shown, now dancing in a line, Moving back and forth while rolling their arms. "We built Brick's face!"

Teams Conquest and Chris are now in their own line doing the move with finger guns as they all sing. "They're gonna take last place!"

Team Valkyrie: Because we built Brick's face!

A close up of Anne Maria is shown as she sings into the microphone. "Aaaa-eee-yeah-eee-yeah!"

Jo and Dawn are shown sitting on top of Brick's face, now back in normal clothing. "We built Brick's face!"

Anne Maria does a power slide past the head. "Eee-yeah-eee-yeah-eee-yeah-eee-yeah!"

Chris approaches Team Conquest and their now completed longboat. . "Nice. Team Conquest takes the lead by a mast, and she's a beauty. Here's your reward for finishing first." The host said, handing Eva a bag.

"A bunch of rocks?! That's our reward?!" Eva snapped.

"Calm down. I'm sure they'll be useful for something. Remember the stick?" Noah reassured her.

"Now drag your ship to open water and sail north until you find Chef to receive your next instructions." Chris told them.

Alejandro nodded. "I'll pull from the bow!" He said, ripping his shirt off.

"Without your shirt?" Noah questioned.

"Questions are for later! Actions are for now! Push like the wind!" Alejandro told them.

"Sometimes he is so melodramatic." Noah sighed.

The focus shifted to show both Team's Chris and Valkyrie. Tyler and Anne Maria were both staring at Alejandro as he pulled the boat.

"Tyler," Xena frowned.

"I like girls." The jock muttered.

"Tyler." The overlogical girl snapped her fingers in his face. "We need your help with the mast."

Meanwhile with Valkyrie. "Tan in a can! Focus! We gotta figure out how to use this thing as a boat." Jo snapped.

Dawn knocked against the wooden replica. "It's hollow. Which means if we cut off the top…"

"We can ride in it like a boat! Let's get going." Jo ordered. The focus zoomed out to show both Team Chris pulling up their mast while Jo and Anne Maria worked to saw off Brick's head. Soon enough both were done.

Brick ran over to Jo. "We're still working together. Do you want help getting your sail and rudder into place?"

"Of course I do." Jo said. As Brick and Tyler went to help Anne Maria scoffed. "Oh so you can swoon over Brick but I'm not allowed ta admire Alejandro."

Jo glared and picked up the large hammer from earlier. "I wasn't swooning!" She yelled throwing the hammer at the Jersey reject. Anne Maria ducked and the hammer hit the ice further out. It began cracking. "Uh, oh."

Chris showed up. "The ice is cracking! Will Jo's anger finally kill us all? Stick around to find out. On Total Drama world tour!"

/

We return to the episode to see Jo running to Valkyrie's makeshift boat with Anne Maria in hot pursuit. Brick is just finishing attaching the rudder, the mast is already up thanks to Brick and Tyler. "What the?"

"The ice is cracking!" Jo told him,

Meanwhile Team Conquest has already gotten into their boat as they were all close by, Xena has also gotten into Team Chris' Boat. The ice cracked underneath all three boats right as everyone was in them. Thankfully all three boats float.

"Brick floats!" Anne Maria gasped. "Oh thank god."

"Excuse me?" Xena said as the focus zoomed out to show she was directly next to the Valkyrie's boat now. "I require my associates back."

Brick and Tyler move to switch boats.

/

A flash transition takes us to Team Conquest. Noah is at the rudder while Eva and Alejandro look to the horizon. The Spaniard remains shirtless. "We're currently in the lead thanks to your sheer strength and Noah's instructions."

Eva blushed. "Yeah, I hope we win. I don't want to vote out someone again."

"Nor do I. It would be hard to choose between your brawn and Noah's brains." Alejandro chuckled. "If we're fortunate enough to all make the merge, shall we continue working together?"

"I'd like that." Eva admitted.

[Confessional]

Alejandro: Obviously I can't be too overt about wanting Eva to vote out Noah so this seemed like a good compromise. If we lose I've given Eva enough compliments she'll hopefully vote out Noah, and if we win I have an alliance going into the merge.

Static

/

Teams Valkyrie and Chris are both crossing the water relatively close to one another though Chris has a slight lead. The focus is on them. Xena is at the rudder while the other two scout ahead. "Xena, how are we doing?"

"We should be on course." The overlogical girl said. She pursed her lips. "Brick? Have you considered what we are to do once Team Conquest is eliminated from the challenge? We will have no choice but to take down the Valkyries at that point. Are you prepared to do that?"

"Of course, but I'm not going to focus on that for now." Brick replied.

The focus shifted over to the Valkyries. "I'm glad I had that idea to break the ice with the hammer." Jo smirked.

"Oh please, don't act like it wasn't a reaction ta being called out by me." Anne Maria scoffed.

"It wasn't-" The jockette began.

"Jo, as much as Anne Maria is going about this the wrong way, you really do need to admit your feelings for Brick." Dawn told her.

"Ugh! Can we stop talking about my nonexistent feelings for the guy!" Jo asked.

"Girl, you built his head!" Anne Maria pointed out.

"That was a coincidence. Now stop being stupid and focus on the challenge."

/

Team Conquest reaches the dock first. Chef is standing on it holding a hat with horns. Eva jumps off the boat first, followed by Noah and Alejandro.

"What's with the hat?" Noah asked.

"You guys need to pick a captain." Chef told them.

"I think you should lead Alejandro." Eva said.

"I don't know, I think Eva could lead given the chance." Noah said.

Alejandro's eyes narrowed at Noah's words. He quickly replaces it with a look of respect. "Yes, that is exactly what I was going to say."

"Were you really?" Noah smirked.

"Of course! I have every faith in Eva's leadership abilities." Alejandro replied.

"You both love Eva, its heart warming." Chris smirked as he arrived. "Eva if this was a valentine's dance you'd have a tough choice to make. Fortunately for you it's not, You're going to war!" The host announced as Chef placed a cannon in their boat.

Eva's unsure look transformed into a smirk. "Oh I can do this."

"So the rocks we got-" Noah began.

"Are actually flint." Alejandro finished.

"Bingo dingo!" Chris said "Nuts. I should have said that in Australia." He snapped his fingers. "Anyway, to fire out of the canon, Chef's famous Swedish Meatballs!" Chef held out a plate holding three meatballs.

Eva hefted one in her hand. "Yeah, these'll pack a punch."

"To win the challenge and travel first class," The host continued. "You must use your meatballs to sink the enemy ships. Good luck Captain Eva."

Eva fist pumped at the news. "You got it."

"Uh, vikings didn't fist pump." Chris remarked as they got into the boat to leave.

"They didn't have horns on their helmets either!" Noah and Alejandro both called back as they took off.

/

Teams Chris and Valkyrie are now docked. They were clearly told to pick a captain each as both Brick and Jo are now sporting their viking helms. Chef is placing the canons into the ships.

"You have to take down both enemy ships to win." Chris was finishing explaining.

"We've got this! Our team is called the Valkyries!" Jo cheered.

"I wouldn't celebrate yet if I were you." Chris smirked as a meatball hit the Valkyrie's ship. "Did I not mention Team Chris is already out there with a canon?"

Both Jo and Brick's eyes widened as they climbed into their boats to take off. As they do the camera zoomed in on the bottom of the Valkyries boat which has a small hole in it.

/

The focus is on the Valkyries as they head for Team Conquest. "Tan in a can you set off the cannon, Tree hugger you-" Jo began.

"I refuse to take part in any kind of war. I'm a pacifist. I will steer the boat with the rudder and attempt to plug the leak." Dawn explained.

"What leak?" Jo asked. Then she noticed the boat was taking on water. "I guess we better sink the other ships quickly. Fine. You focus on that."

"And how are we supposed to light the cannon?" Anne Maria asked.

Jo rubbed a couple of sticks together and managed to set fire to one. "Any more stupid questions?"

"Yeah, how do you-" Anne Maria began.

"After Al beat me in the caveman challenge last season I decided I needed to learn how to make fires in case of another challenge." Jo replied before she finished.

The focus shifted to the nearby Team Chris ship. Xena is at the rudder while Brick sets up the cannon. "That should hit Conquest's boat."

"How do we shoot off the canon though?" Tyler asked.

Brick reached into his pocket and pulled out the watch that Max had broken so long ago. He turned it on and it began to send out sparks of electricity. Carefully he lay it against the fuse on the canon and it shot one off.

The focus shifted over to Team Conquest and two meatballs hit their ship. One breaks off the dragon shaped bow, the other hits the side of the hull. "They're teaming up against us." Alejandro noted.

"Noah is the boat still working?" Eva asked.

"The hole in our hull is high enough that we won't be taking on water, but actually steering the ship will he harder." Noah reported.

"Good enough. The Valkyrie's ship is already sinking, so we'd better focus our efforts on Team Chris' ship." The iron woman aimed the cannon, loaded it. "Alejandro, fire."

The Spaniard used the flint to set off the cannon and the focus shifted over to Team Chris as the ball ripped a hole in the sail. "Well that's not good. Tyler, take the rudder from Xena, Xena fire off our next shot." Brick ordered as he began to climb the short mast. "I'll see if I can't patch it."

Xena nodded and began to aim the cannon. The focus shifted over to Team Valkyrie, who's boat is now really starting to take on water. Jo glared. "Tree hugger I thought you were going to plug the leak!"

"I did! But now there's three more!" Dawn protested.

"Ugh! I am not going down without a fight!" Jo loaded the cannon and aimed. "Fire!" Anne Maria did so.

The focus shifted once again to team Conquest as two meatballs head for it. One of them lands in the water and the other breaks the mast in half.

"Well there goes any way of maneuvering away from the cannon balls." Noah frowned.

"Then we'll just have to put an all out focus on our attack. Starting with finishing off the Valkyries!" Eva declared, aiming the cannon.

"But we've only got one meatball left. If we use it on the Valkyries, how will we take down team Chris?" Alejandro asked.

"I have a plan! Just fire!" Eva order. Alejandro did so.

The focus shifted over to the Valkyries as the meatball broke their boat in half. The Valkyries all fall in the water. Another shift took the focus to Team Chris as they see this. Brick called down. "Tyler! Shift course towards the Valkyries!"

Xena looked confused. "But Captain, Team Conquest has fired the last of their last ammunition. We have the perfect opportunity to win if we strike now. So logically-"

"Xena I do not leave a man behind!" Brick called down as he finally finished patching the sail with his shirt.

As they went to start saving the Valkyries, Xena began to adjust the cannon to shoot from a new angle.

"I can't believe this!" Jo complained.

"Hey don't blame me, I actually helped!" Anne Maria said.

"It's not my fault the leak led to more leaks." Dawn frowned.

That was when Team Chris arrived. "Quickly, climb in the boat." Brick said. Offering a hand to Jo. The jockette took it without thinking, allowing him to pull her on to the boat. "At least you're still working-" She began before taking in Brick's current state. "Why- Why are you shirtless!"

"I had to use it to patch the sail." Brick explained.

Anne Maria is being helped in by Tyler, as Dawn climbed in the boat herself, as she did, she accidentally nudged the cannon due to their being so little room in the boat. This threw off Xena's careful adjustments just as she set the fuse alight.

Her eyes widened as the ball was set off, landing in the water near Team Conquest's boat. "My calculations!" She turned to Dawn. "That was our last ammunition and your actions have caused me to miss my target!"

"Great! Now what!" Jo complained.

"Conquest doesn't have any ammo either. Maybe Chris will decide we tie?" Tyler suggested.

The focus shifted directly to Team Conquests boat. "Are you sure about this?" Alejandro asked as Eva climbed on top of the cannon.

"Positive. Fire!" The iron woman declared. The fuse was lit and she was flown off with a scream of rage.

The focus shifted back to Team Chris as a shadow grew over their boat. Brick's eyes widened. "She's crazy!" That was when the iron woman hit the boat sinking it.

Back with Team Conquest Noah and Alejandro cheered. "We did it!" Alejandro picked the cynic up and swung him around in joy. It was only after a moment that they realized their position, Alejandro holding Noah to his still shirtless chest. Noah was quickly dropped.

Chris rode past Team Conquest on a red jet ski. "Nice work Captain Eva!"

He drove to the other seven people, who were all treading water at this point. "Team Conquest wins! And despite Brick allowing you aboard, the Valkyries' ship sank first. So sorry about it but I'll be seeing you at elimination!"

The focus shifted over to Xena. "If we had just acted logically we'd have won." Near her Dawn's eyes widened.

[Confessional]

Dawn: Something dark flickered in Xena's aura!

Static

In the cargo hold Brick and Jo are talking. "I can't believe you gave up the win for me-" the jockette cleared her throat. "My team, that is."

"It was the right thing to do." Brick replied. "Though I am sorry you must vote off someone."

"Yeah, well. The biggest problem is who to vote off! Anne Maria keeps making fun of me for- something. And Dawn was completely useless during the war, not to mention throwing off the last cannonball either of us had." Jo complained.

"Well I'm certain whatever decision you make will be the best for your team." Brick said.

Silence between them for a moment and Brick leaned forward, Jo's eyes widened as she jerked away. "So! I'd better get going then huh!" With that she rushed from the cargo hold. Brick sighed, looking more than a little disappointed.

Outside the cargo hold Jo ran into Xena. "Watch where you're going!" The jockette complained.

"I believe it is you who ran into me." Xena told her. "Regardless it is fortuitous, I have been looking for you. I was wondering who you were intending to vote off tonight."

"I don't know. Both of them screwed up today. Anne Maria is annoying and Dawn wouldn't even help us with the cannon." Jo scoffed.

"She would not?" Xena asked.

"Yeah, cause she's a pacifist or whatever." the jockette said.

"A pacifist? You don't suppose…" The overlogical girl trailed.

"Suppose what?"

"That Dawn made my shot miss on purpose?" Xena suggested. Jo's eyes narrowed in thought.

[confessional]

Xena: I saw the way Dawn looked at me earlier. I will not have such a threat remain in the game.

At elimination Chris stood at his podium and began his usual thing. "Ah, the elimination room. This is where some of you will be tossed into the darkness, to plummet out of my life, and possibly to the end of your own."

"Get on with it McLame." Jo ordered.

"Fine." Chris grumbled. "Jo's safe." He said as he tossed her a barf bag of peanuts. "And the final barf bag goes to-" Chris paused for dramatic effect, as the focus shifted between Anne Maria and Dawn quickly.

"...

…Anne Maria." The host concluded by throwing her the bag.

Dawn sighed. "I had a feeling I may go today." She turned to Jo. "Please, accept your feelings Jo. It'll be better for you in the long run." As the moonchild talked Chris placed a parachute on her. " And keep an eye out for any dark changes in our fellow competitors. Especially Xe-" before she could finish Chris threw her out of the plane.

"Hello? It's a half hour show!" The host smirked. He turned to the camera. "And with that we're down to eight. Will Team Conquest hold strong? Is Brick going to give up all his wins for other people? And will Jo ever admit her crush? Find out next time. on Total! Drama! Woooorrrrlllddd~ Tooouuurrrr~!"

A/N: It was either going to be Anne Maria or Dawn, and I have more Anne Maria ideas. Let's just say she'll interact well with the person who returns to the game.

So a lot happened in this chapter. Anne Maria made fun of Jo. Jo's repression of her crush causes her to build Brick's face. Alejandro secures some alliances. Xena gets another threat out and once the merge comes Xena will be mostly out for herself. She's a logical person, and when on a team, what's best for the team comes first. Once the teams get disbanded its different.

Also Alejandro remains shirtless after ripping it off to pull the boat. In canon he gets his shirt back, presumably they gave him one off screen, but I wanted some more consistency.

I hope you liked all the Jock, and the cannon fight. That was hard to script. I ditched the flag thing because it makes sense with three teams.
