Author Note - Alright, Paintball Deer Hunt! Honestly writing this is going to be interesting as its the furthest I've made in any of my shuffled stories, but hey I did say this series is ending and I intend to keep it that way!


Reviews

WarriorTwin - cool cool cool cool

Mystique Monroe - Glad you're enjoying the story! Leonard coming back, now that would be an interesting turnaround that for obvious reasons I can't rule out entirely. Who knows :)

Guest - Thank you, I also thought Dave would be a pretty nice touch to have a scene like this, this episode did allow for a lot of character interaction which I think was needed since it's been very challenged orientated for a while. As for Scott and Julia, the big bad has definitely been an ongoing question, but I can say we'll definitely have the answer before the merge :)

The StoryTeller993 - Yeah I'm noticing it might become a running joke how often Chase is in thin ice and is saved because someone on his team screws up or they end up winning the challenge, but this laxadasical attitude from him is how I'd imagine he'd act in a 24 episode length season, glad I surprised you with the elimination!


Remaining Campers:

Screaming Gophers: Cody, Scott, Zee, Damien, Beth, Priya, Jasmine, Zoey

Killer Bass: Chase, Dave, Courtney, Julia, Dawn, Eva, MK


(Episode Fades In)

"Last time on Total Drama Island...both teams set out on a canoe trip to Boney Island. Cody made some strange moves that actually worked for some reason, and Courtney had a heart to heart with Dawn that made her think there's more to life than just winning. There were winners, and there were losers, also known as, the Gophers. With Sam's lack of usefulness along with his gaming fatigue, it was enough to make him the next camper to rock the Dock of Shame. Scott finally got his wish as his team lost, and with Beth picking the creepy tiki doll, that may continue in the next few challenges. Will The Gophers finally start crumbling after this loss? And can my teeth possibly get any whiter? Find out here on Total...Drama...Island!" Chris introduced from the dock as per usual

(Theme Song Plays)

The episode opened with Chris flying above the camp in his helicopter, flashing a smile at the camera before it panned to the Bass cabin where Chase gasped and went to the floor curled in a ball. "Oh god no, they finally found me!" He screamed as Dave looked at him, before sighing and getting out of bed.

The camera cut to the Gophers side as Priya, Zoey and Beth exited the cabin. "What's he doing now?" Priya groaned.

"Even I'm starting to reach my limit." Zoey added as Beth nodded.

The girls suddenly turned to the side as Jasmine jumped down from the tree and joined them.

"Crickey, he really loves one upping himself doesn't he." Jasmine commented as they stared at the plane going by off screen.

"Oh, morning Jasmine." Beth waved.

"Morning Beth, what's say we break the duck and win today's challenge ey?" She rustled with Beth's hair and walked off, as Priya and Zoey looked at each other.

"It's been a while since we lost a challenge," Zoey began in the confessional. "I think Jasmine's learned from last time and it'll be a better experience at least, I really hope to keep her as a friend."

The camera returned to Cody, Scott, Zee and Damien as they suddenly looked up after hearing the feedback from the loudspeakers. "I hope you're ready for the most challenging challenge yet! Breakfast in three minutes at the campfire pit." Chris informed.

"Doesn't he basically say something similar every time?" Cody asked the boys as Zee and Damien nodded, whilst Scott scoffed.

"Well let's hope Jasmine is as on our case as she was in the last challenge." Scott mentioned.

"Yeah, I guess it was pretty annoying last time." Zee added, stroking his chin.

"Hey it's not so bad, she just wants to win like the rest of us, so let's go make it happen." Damien smiled, as the boys looked surprised before following.

"I already mentioned this show was nothing like I was expecting when I signed up for it right, but hey after the craziness we've been through in the last through challenges, I don't see how much worse it can get." Damien confessed.

The scene returned to the remaining campers at the campfire pit, Chris at the lead. "Are you ready for today's extreme max impact challenge!" Chris asked excitedly.

"I'd say no, but we'd probably have to do it anyway." MK muttered, as Chris ignored her and continued.

"Incoming!" Chris informed as he threw a can of beans over the campers, MK flinched before Cody caught it and handed it to her, earning a surprised blush from MK and an eyebrow raise from Jasmine. "This, is breakfast." Chris continued as he threw a bunch of can of beans from a box at the other campers.

Julia caught hers and gave a confused look. "This is a pretty loose definition of breakfast." The girl said, with her hands on her hips.

"You know what they say about beans bruh!" Zee said next to her, "The more you eat the more you-" The Pothead was caught off guard as a can hit him on the head causing him to fall onto the ground.

"Today's challenge is about survival. We're going hunting!" Chris suddenly pulled a green paintball gun from his back.

"Okay, now this is gonna be fun." Chase grinned.

"Wait, isn't that a paintball gun?" Dave asked.

"Why yes Dave, it is." Chris said as he hit Dave square in the chest, knocking him off the screen.

"Oh come on! This was my favourite vest!" He whined.

"And the winner of the dorkiest thing said on reality television award goes to..." MK smirked as Eva chuckled.

"So we won't be hurting mother nature in any way today?" Dawn asked with a hopeful look on her face.

"Negatory Dawn, this is the first ever Paintball Deer Hunt! I'll announce the teams once we get into the woods so...finish brekky." Chris informed.

He lost his smile as Zee burped off screen and everyone turned to look at him surrounded by empty cans of beans. "Damn that hit the spot." He chuckled, as he let out a fart. "That can't be good..."

The camera flashed and returned to the contestants now in the woods. "And now for the team breakdowns. The Killer Bass hunters are: Dawn, Chase and MK. Locked and loaded with Bass blue paint. And with orange paint are the Gopher hunters: Scott, Zee, Beth and Zoey." Chris threw each of them a respective gun.

"Awesome!" Chase grinned as he stared at his gun.

"Are we really sure giving Chase a gun is a good idea?" Dave queried, "even if it is just a paintball gun."

"Gotta give the people what they want Dave." Chris responded, firing finger pistols. "You'll also get these styling glasses and wicked camo caps! The rest of you are now deer. Here are your antlers, noses, and little white tails." Chris showcased all the outfit attires as a few looked on in discontent.

"You can't be serious right?" Damien groaned.

"There is no way I'm a deer!" Eva hissed.

"You can take them off if you want to, but then your team is toast." Chris informed them, as Eva sighed.

"You guys better be a good shot." She said turning to the Gopher hunters who gulped.

The camera flashed and returned to Dave, Courtney, Julia and Eva walking in the woods.

"Well at least we get a head start." Courtney said, breaking the silence.

"Yeah, probably a better idea if we split up and separate." Julia added, as she took Eva by the hand and walked further ahead.

"Well...guess that leaves us." Dave chuckled nervously, as Courtney smiled nervously before they both sighed as they continued walking in a different direction.

The camera flashed once more to the Gopher deer's, where Cody, Damien, Jasmine and Priya were walking.

"Could this get any lamer right now?" Jasmine sighed.

"Would've been so much better to be a hunter." Damien added as the two nodded in agreement.

"Oh come on, it could be fun." Cody said from the back of the pack before stopping as he noticed the three looking at him with their arms crossed. "Okay...catch you later!" Cody said before running off in another direction.

"I was so psyched to be a deer." Cody confessed. "I'm small, but I'm quick. Lot's of practice from dodging spit balls in math class."

The scene returned to Damien and Priya walking in before turning back to notice Jasmine looking around.

"Jasmine, are you not coming with us?" Damien asked

"Don't worry about me mates, a challenge like this I'll work better alone." The girl brushed off, before jumping high up into the trees.

"She's on a level we can't reach isn't she?" Priya turned to Damien who nodded as the two looked awestruck.

The camera flashed and returned to the Bass hunters, with the three having their hands in a huddle

"Alright, let's do this!" Chase said as he cocked his gun.

"Now you're speaking my language." MK chuckled in agreement, before turning to see Dawn looking somewhat nervous. "Okay, Dawn, you know this is all pretend right, we're not hurting any real animals."

"I guess..." Dawn sheepishly responded.

"What if you see this less as a paintball game, and attack anyone who gives you bad or creepy vibes?" Chase suggested, as the pair looked at him in confusion.

xxx

"Chase actually just said something not stupid..." MK told the outhouse. "I guess the Mayans were wrong and the world is ending way earlier than 2012."

xxx

Dawn looked at the gun, before smiling slightly, and running forward, the two following with smiles.

xxx

"Most people on the island have very reasonable auras, well with two exceptions. One being Scott on the other team, unfortunately he's a hunter. And the other being one on my team I feel I need to keep a further eye on..." Dawn admitted.

"Start your paintballs, game on!" The camera returned to the loudspeakers as Chris spoke over them.

"Alright, lets go hunt some deer!" Beth excitedly said.

"Yeah, right on sister!" Zee said high fiving the girl, as Zoey and Scott nodded.

"Um, do you guys smell that?" Scott said, suddenly breaking the moment.

"Oh this? I hid my scent earlier by rolling around in that mud pile over there." Zee told his team. "Smart right?"

"Zee, we're hunting other people, not actual deer." Zoey told him. "Also...that's not mud."

Beth suddenly looked at her hand with widened eyes. "I have to go wash my hands quickly..." She said before running off.

"Yeah...why don't I go with Beth and you two go...anywhere that isn't here?" Scott said before slowly walking after her.

"After you." Zee shrugged, Zoey smiled, before pinching her nose and leading the way.

xxx

"Wow, losing this challenge is going to be wayyy easier than I thought." Scott chuckled in the outhouse.

The camera returned to Jasmine jumping into one of the trees, before crouching as she heard a rustling in the bushes. She sighed a relief when she saw it was only Zee, and jumped down. "Oh Zee, thank god it was only you."

"Hey Jasmine, you seen any of the Bass yet?" He asked looking around.

"Nothing from me mate, been moving from tree to tree." The smile wiped from her face as she began sniffing, "Um, not to be rude but is that smell coming from you?"

The two stood in silence, as a cricket chirped before Zee broke the silence "Oh hey, um look! A distraction!" The Pothead pointed behind her, before running away, farting off camera.

Jasmine sighed, before jumping back up into the trees.

The camera flashed, and returned to a scene of Priya and Damien walking, before cutting to Chase's eyes in a bush.

"Alright...time to aim and fire..." The Prankster

"Um, Chase-" Dawn started before he shushed her.

"Don't interrupt, I got a clear shot."

"But you do know you're in a thorn bush right?"

Chase paused, before taking his hand out of the shot and noticing the red marks, and screaming. Priya and Damien noticed him and began running.

"My arms! My beautiful arms!" Chase yelled off camera.

"This...might be harder than I thought." Dawn sighed.

The scene changed to Jasmine jumping through trees, as MK was on the ground chasing her, shooting paintballs that kept missing

"Okay seriously, how did I get paired with you!?" MK called out.

"No idea, but seems you're out of you're dept-woah!" Jasmine taunted before falling to the ground as she failed to realise there were no more trees, she quickly got up and ran along the rocks on the water, as MK attempted to follow before slipping on a rock and falling into the water.

"Oh come on!" The Schemer complained, spitting water out of her mouth.

"Wow, looks like you're in a painful situation." Cody chuckled as he appeared on screen, before hitting the ground as a paintball got him.

"Okay, not a total waste." MK smirked, as the camera faded to black.

The scene faded back in, as Eva was walking through the woods this time, Zee attempting to sneak along the tree line.

xxx

"Hey, if it can work for Jasmine, it can work for me." Zee told the outhouse

xxx

He paused, as he realised he farted, the camera panning down to Eva who began sniffing. "Is that...beans?" She told herself before looking up. "Nice try Zee!" She called out into the trees before running away, as Zee farted once more, before falling out of the tree.

"Darn it..." The Pothead groaned in pain, as he fell into the bush.

The scene flashed, and returned to Dave and Courtney, still walking together before they heard a crash, panicking and running into each other.

"Wha? I can't..." Courtney began to say as she was trying to pull herself away.

"Oh great, the antlers are intertwined." Dave sighed.

"Well now what do we do? We can't take them off, Chris might disqualify us!" Courtney exclaimed, before turning away as she realised how close her and Dave were to each other.

"Okay, how abou-" Dave began before he was hit by a paintball off camera. "Ow! Where did that come from?" He asked terrified.

The camera panned to show Zoey behind a bush, aiming her gun at the pair. "Oh, sorry!" She said before running away after firing one more to which Courtney was heard going 'ow!' off screen.

xxx

"You know, I can't tell if that was a good or bad situation." Dave told the outhouse, before pausing. "No, definitely a good one." He said dreamily.

xxx

The scene returned to Jasmine now pausing as she began to pant besides a tree. "That was a close one." She sighed in relief, before being hit by a paintball. "Ow, what!?" She exclaimed.

"Crap! Sorry Jasmine, I thought you were one of the Bass!" Scott said, as he and Beth walked over.

"Seriously? How many other women this tall are on the island!" She called back out at him, grabbing his gun and then firing it at him.

"Hey now Jasmine, it was an honest mistake!" Beth tried to reason, before the idol from Boney Island fell out of her pocket.

"Wait a second," Jasmine said kneeling down and picking it up, "where did you get that?" She said, now turning her attention to The Wannabe.

"Oh, I found this on Boney Island, why?" She innocently replied.

"The island where Chris told us specifically not to take any of the items?"

"Wait, what?" Beth said turning to Scott in confusion, as he just shrugged.

"Oh, I should've known it was you!" Jasmine was about to say more, before being hit by a paintball, as were Beth and Scott.

"Yes, nice one Dawn!" Chase told The Moonchild, as the camera cut to the two of them.

"Well, I can feel a little less bad since their colours were getting very ugly." Dawn told him, as he then grabbed her hand and the two ran away.

Jasmine, Scott and Beth were about to continue before the feedback on the loudspeaker went off.

"Attention human wildlife and hunters! Please report back to camp! It's time to show your hides and tally up the scores!"

The camera flashed, returning to the campers by the starting point with Chris walking back and forth in shame.

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Chris said disappointedly, as the campers were now back by the starting point. "Excessive grossout humour, arguing and attacking your own teammates, contestants sneaking off to God knows where. Do you know what I see here? I see a very undisciplined group. I see a disgraceful mess. I see a massive waste of paint product! And I have to say...that was awesome! When you guys started shooting each other? Wicked TV guys!"

"Speaking of sneaking off, has anyone seen Chase and Courtney?" Julia asked.

The two suddenly came into view, their antlers still intertwined together.

"Oh now this is priceless." MK smirked.

"Dave, didn't know you had it in you man." Zee said, toasting a soda in his honour.

"Oh come on guys, we just didn't want to be disqualified!" Dave reasoned, as the two were very clearly blushing.

"Yeah, tell that to your insanely red faces." Scott chuckled.

"Well...since four members of the Gophers are dripping in paint, and some of them aren't even deer...I think we have a winner!" Chris announced as the Killer Bass began to cheer. "You're off to a hunting camp shindig! Gophers...I'll see you at the campfire ceremony...again."

The camera flashed to Zoey, Priya and Jasmine having their meeting outside of the cabins.

"Okay guys, Scott or Zee have to go after today's challenge." Jasmine told her alliance members who looked a little off. "Okay, come on, spit it out."

"Well...Beth was the one who grabbed the cursed idol from Boney Island." Zoey began to reason. "So why wouldn't we vote her off?"

"Oh come on, Chris was just trying to scare us with that curse stuff, you don't actually believe in that hoo haa do you?"

"Hey, it's not hoo haa! There's a lot of science that still can't be explained you know." Zoey frowned in response.

"Okay okay, my apologies. Look, I didn't mean to offend, but I really don't trust Scott, and Zee screwed the pooch today, I'm just saying."

"Yeah, I guess..." Priya added, a little lost herself.

"We'll just take out any of those two, how's that?"

The two just looked at each other, before the camera faded, returning to the elimination ceremony. "Twice in a row guys, we really got to step it up in the next challenge. Especially if any of us are still here after." Jasmine added the last part, glaring at Scott who glared back.

xxx

"Am I a little nervous this time around? I'd be lying if I said I wasn't. But hey, we're getting later in the game, and it's time to start gambling a little." Scott confessed.

xxx

"Man...I really didn't know who to vote for today..." Damien rubbed his head. "Beth broke the rules, but Jasmine and Scott shot their own teams and Zee kind of cost it today. It's going to be tricky."

xxx

"Gotta say, I've never felt so safe, basically spent the whole challenge hiding in the woods and came back to total chaos!" Cody confessed

xxx

"When I call your name, come up and claim your marshmallow. The camper who does not receive a marshmallow must-" Chris started before being cut off.

"Yeah yeah, dock of losers, boat of shame, can never return, we know the drill." Scott eye rolled.

"Fine, whatever, spoil the moment." Chris sighed before clearing his throat. "Zoey. Priya. Damien. Cody." Chris listed off the names as the four came up.

"The rest of you, all have a good reason to be going home tonight. But it won't be...Beth, or Zee." The two sighed in relief and came up to join the other four.

"The final marshmallow goes to...Scott." A few gasps were heard, especially from Jasmine

"You guys voted me off? Me!?" Jasmine said in surprise. "But..I was our leader, our strongest player!"

"You also went kind of...I don't know...slightly insane today on Scott and Beth." Damien added.

"Bu-bu-" Jasmine wanted to continue before Chris stopped her.

"Yes yes, you were wronged and deserved better, welcome to reality television. Dock of shame is thataway." Chris told her, as the girl stopped her protests, looking back at her team longingly and leaving.

xxx

"And it finally happened. Today's challenge with everyone screwing up was the perfect time for me to get a few votes on Jasmine. And now with sympathy on my side, there's nothing stopping me from finally taking control of this team. This game is finally mine." Scott confessed, whittling away and chuckling in confidence

Author Note

- Gotta say, this is the first episode I just kind of followed where the plot took me and deviated from the typical canon type of setting, but I really enjoyed writing this. Felt like it was a genuine toss up for who was going to be eliminated, but Jasmine is the one who bites the dust. I will admit Jasmine originally wasn't meant to go home here, and it was meant to be in two episodes time but as I was reading the plot points for the next three episodes, this did feel like the best place to drop her out instead of who was originally meant to be going home, and leaves her on a note where she was more so in the right, but eliminated due to her teammates personalities and trickery, which I think is a better way for her to go out!

And with this, we finally have the reveal for the main antagonist this season, it is indeed Scott :) Hope you all enjoyed this, and toodles!
