tranquoc2004vn- I'm glad you're looking forward to more. And yes, this challenge is in fact an original challenge.
blee7442- I won't spoil what else I plan to change, but to answer your question, I do plan on doing Season 2 if this goes well.
It opened on a duck floating down a waterfall.
(Narrated by Chris McLean)
Last time on Total Drama Island! Our teams faced off in a cabbage battle at sea, and it got crazy! Ripper and Axel fought over the Captain's hat, resulting in a pretty one-sided power struggle, which coming from Ripper…is not surprising.
Emma was more focused on Chase than the enemy ship, but that focus gave Wayne the idea of taking out the other team's players before sinking the ship. It actually worked in the long run, proving obsessing over someone is the healthy thing to do!
Everything came to a close when both Captains Axel and Wayne rammed their ships into the other, and finishing things off with a pirate duel. Axel may have won the duel, but she was too distracted to realize that her team's boat…sank like a rock.
Ripper became our second camper to walk the Dock of Shame, which is ironic considering he's supposed to be a "Sigma Male" or whatever they call it. I just see a guy who's never getting kissed in the foreseeable future.
Who's getting kicked to the curb this week? The results will definitely shock you! Stay tuned and find out here, on Total…Drama…Island!
(Cut to Intro and Back)
It opened on a shot of Emma, Wayne, and Raj all surrounding Nichelle. "That scene in Lobsters on a Train, where you kicked that guy off the caboose and into the mouth of the giant Monster Lobster, was so sick!" Wayne exclaimed.
It cut to a scene from said movie, where Nichelle was angrily standing in front of a man in a business suit. "Boil this, sucka!" Nichelle kicked what was obviously a ragdoll off a moving caboose. And a poorly green screened version of the man fell into the clutches of a giant lobster with HORRIBLE CGI.
It cut back to Nichelle at the cabin, eating up the praise. "I always love getting to kick stuff, they even let me drive the train afterwards!" Nichelle exclaimed. "Or in Letters to Myself, where you get that rejection letter on the beach." Raj added.
It next cut to a movie scene of Nichelle reading a note on a beach. "...Oh man!" Nichelle yelled. "Oh God oh man!" Nichelle began spinning around for some reason. "Oh God oh man, oh God oh man, oh God!" Nichelle gave a half-assed performance.
It once again cut back to present day. "That scene was SO emotionally draining on me…I cried during a few takes." Nichelle said. "Oh, this isn't a movie, but that one interview where you completely gave that interviewer the business…magical." Emma's eyes sparkled.
It cut to an interview being held on live TV, Nichelle was bawling her eyes out. "I need somebody to help me, i'm fighting for my (bleep)-ing life…ya'll killing me!" Nichelle shouted as loud as she could.
It cut back to the present, and Nichelle didn't look happy. "Hey! That wasn't a good performance, you try getting humiliated in front of millions and holding it in!" Nichelle huffed and walked away.
"Yeah…imagine…" Emma's eyes stopped sparkling, and she put her head down. A few seconds later she felt a supportive pat on her back, when she looked back she saw Wayne.
"Aw don't worry, prolly just Actress stuff that's got her all wound up." Wayne theorized. "It's true, eh. The acting world ain't one I wanna touch with a twenty foot pole." Raj added. "...Yeah…maybe you're right." Emma immediately started feeling better.
(Confessional)
Emma- "Those two hockey guys are dumb as bricks, but they're also…very nice. One of them even said they liked my dancing…nobody's ever said that before."
(Confessional End)
It proceeded to cut to the Mess Hall, where Priya was doing some training exercise while eating a bowl of what seemed to be gruel. "Um…what're you doing?" Millie asked. "Oh hey, don't mind me, just training! Always training!" Priya explained.
And then Axel walked onscreen, joining in on this conversation. "That's what I like to see, never let your muscles get tired!" Axel complimented. Millie and Axel sat down, as Priya continued to train.
"You know you're taking this pretty far, I guess winning Total Drama is your ultimate dream?" Millie asked. "*panting* Nope, it's my parent's dream! But if I win, they may let me go to Med School, and get my degree." Priya explained.
"Wait, LET you go to Med School?" Millie was confused. "Chica, that's some backwards-ass logic if i've heard it." Axel agreed. "What's not to understand? They want me to win here, then take on the entire Reality-TV Circuit!" Priya began bench pressing the whole table.
"That's their dream for you!?" Millie exclaimed. "The original Total Drama series ended fifteen years ago…though it feels like less for some reason. When did your parents start training you?" Axel asked.
"Since the day I was born, why do you ask?" Priya kept benching the table, unintentionally revealing that she was fourteen-to-fifteen years old, in a game full of sixteen year olds. "Dios Mio…i'm staying out of this." Axel slowly got up and left, and Millie ferociously scribbled in her notebook.
"What are you writing?" Priya stopped doing her exercises. "*gasp* Is it a biography about your experiences on Total Drama Island?" Priya asked. "Uh…yeah, something like that." Millie nodded.
(Confessional)
Millie- "Priya wants to go to med school, so she has a plan for where she wants to go in life. But her parents…yeah, there is SO MUCH wrong in that department. I basically need to devote a whole chapter to them in my book."
Scary Girl- "It's been fifteen years since Total Drama ended? And here I thought we existed in a moving timeline, and only half a decade passed…oops!"
(Confessional End)
It cut to Zee, having told a story to Damien and Chase. "And that…is how I lost my leg." Zee said with the tone of a storyteller. "So yeah, never bungee jump from an old helicopter, into the Amazon, while there's a windstorm, into a lake of piranhas, while wearing a suit made of meat…lesson learned, yo." Zee said.
"Dude, that was hardcore!" Chase exclaimed. "Why in the Nine Spheres of the Netherworld would you do that!?" Damien worriedly shouted. "I mean if you ignore everything BUT the piranhas…which is something I never thought i'd say, bungee jumping is something suicidal people do to give themselves a rush! Not a teenager with lots of years left!" Damien explained.
(Confessional)
Zee- "I've never done ANY of that stuff! My leg…I was actually born like this, but I know anybody who's anybody would want to hear a cool story. So yeah, it was ripped off like a band-aid."
(Confessional End)
It next cut to Bowie and Caleb walking towards a table. "If Chris thinks the challenges are tough, then he should try this breakfast!" Bowie slammed his tray down then began pouting. "That…is something we can actually agree on." Caleb nodded, a hint of tension between the two.
It panned to the right to reveal Raj sitting there. "Eh, i've eaten worse. One time I swallowed three teeth and half a mouthguard, two of the teeth weren't even mine." Raj spoke up. "*laughs* Okay, explain." Bowie leaned forward, while Caleb was more focused trying to stomach his breakfast.
"Last year's Regionals, total dog show. Me and some dude totally crossed each other when-" Raj began explaining, when his spoon of gruel flung itself onto Bowie's shirt. "Oh! Sorry, that was an accident!" Raj sheepishly admitted.
"Maybe if I…" Raj tried rubbing the mess off Bowie's shirt, accidentally making it worse. "Oh…or maybe…" Raj licked his finger and then tried wiping off the stain. Bowie then grabbed Raj's hand in his, stopping him from making it worse.
"It's fine…it's fine, thank you." Bowie said. "Oh, you're uhh…welcome." Raj nervously rubbed the back of his head. "Alrighty boys!" The offscreen voice of Wayne interrupted the moment.
"Let's dump these carb-loads into our faces before challenge time, eh?" Wayne set down a tray with several bowls of gruel onto the table, also getting Caleb's attention. "Nope, i'm tapping out." Bowie stood up.
"For serious? Can I eat yours too?" Wayne asked. "Knock yourself out." Bowie walked away. "Score!" Wayne pumped his fists. "See you later Bowie." Raj said. "I bet I can finish two bowls before you finish one, Rajie!" Wayne put on a bib and grabbed two spoons.
"Ohh, you're on!" Raj picked up his bowl and began dumping the gruel into his mouth. "Hey! That's cheating! You're cheating!" Wayne exclaimed while eating two bowls of gruel. This interaction didn't go unnoticed however, as Caleb was observing…from a few feet away.
(Confessional)
Caleb- "I may have lost to Bowie yesterday when he snatched that ex-obsessed girl from me…but I think I found two more candidates for my new alliance."
(Confessional End)
It cut to the outside loudspeaker. "Campers, it's challenge time!" Chris' voice exclaimed. It faded to the fourteen campers, now at the iconic Camp Wawanakwa Amphitheatre. Both teams sitting in both sets of bleachers.
"Ferocious Trout, Frogs of Death, today's challenge will be a good old fashioned scavenger hunt!" Chris announced. "Phew…something safe. Wait, there's nothing dangerous about this challenge, right!?" Damien exclaimed.
"It all depends really…it really does." Chris answered vaguely. Chef then proceeded to walk onstage, pulling a wagon filled with giant, different colored coins. "These are the items you will be scavenging today!" Chef held up a blue coin and a white coin, which had Priya and Wayne's respective faces designed on them.
"Whoa…my face is on money!" Wayne exclaimed. "I always knew you could do it someday!" Wayne and Raj fistbumped. "Everyone here has a coin that's designated to them, it has a unique color and design representing you in particular." Chef explained.
"Huh, I guess we're all special…" MK rolled her eyes. "Your challenge is to look all across the island until you find all your team's coins, then return here for your reward." Chef continued.
"Your reward will be that you can exchange your coins for anything…in here!" Chris pulled back on a curtain to reveal a big vending machine full of snacks, soaps and shampoos, and other random junk that someone may want.
"Ooh…shiny." Scary Girl said regarding the vending machine. "Huh, I could really use some REAL shampoo." Caleb rubbed his scalp to prove his point. "Oh…so many snacks." Emma's eyes were sparkling. "I know, so many delicious choices!" Wayne added.
"Come up and memorize your token, then after everyone has memorized them, the search will begin." Chef instructed. Both teams proceeded to head onstage to the wagon of multicolored coins, observing them closely.
By the end of the memorizing, here's what the assigned colors were. For the Ferocious Trout, Priya had light blue, Millie had brown, Damien had dark blue, Chase had red, Zee had yellow, Axel had green, and Scary Girl had purple.
As for the Frogs of Death, Caleb had pink, Bowie had violet, Nichelle had mint green, Wayne and Raj both had white, but Wayne had eggshell while Raj had ivory, Emma had orange, and MK had maroon.
"Now, since the boring memory stuff is out of the way…let's get this challenge started!" Chris took out an airhorn and blew it. Immediately the fourteen campers rushed off the stage and split up, searching all around the island.
It cut to the first group, consisting of Wayne and Raj. "Alright bro, we're looking for two shiny white coins the size of frisbees!" Raj said, the duo running through the forest. "Can't be too hard to find, there's lotsa green around us!" Wayne added.
The Hockey Bros. stopped as they approached two different paths. "Okay, left or right, Wayner?" Raj asked. "Let's see…who're the Maple Leafs playing in their next Away Game?" Wayne scratched his head, using his own logic for this one.
"Hey guys!" A voice from behind exclaimed. The camera panned behind the duo to reveal Caleb approaching. "Oh, what's up, Caleb?" Raj waved. "Eh, not much…I just thought i'd come over and help you guys search for those tokens." Caleb put on the charm.
"Really? Thanks bud!" Wayne held out his fist, and Caleb reluctantly fistbumped the Hockey Bro.
(Confessional)
Caleb- "If I need to stomach two people's worth of stupidity to ensure I don't go home anytime soon…I guess i'll make that sacrifice."
(Confessional End)
"So, where were you headed?" Caleb asked. We're thinking…that way!" Wayne pointed to the path on the left. "Then lead the way." Caleb followed the duo, as it cut over to another group, consisting of Priya and Millie.
"So then when I was eight, I spent two weeks surviving in the middle of a desert by myself. By the way, did you know that scorpions are a good source of protein?" Priya went on while Millie kept writing.
"I may have to write a whole other book…" Millie whispered. "Write another book?" Priya asked. "Huh!?" Millie began sputtering. "No, I said I may have to fight a whole other look!" She quickly said.
"Huh…that's a weird thing to randomly say in the middle of a challenge." Priya said before continuing to go on about her life. "Phew…that was a close one." Millie sighed in relief.
It then cut over to another team, this time being Bowie and Emma. "Orange and violet…orange and violet…that doesn't seem too hard." Emma said. "You'd be surprised, we do have to search the whole island after all." Bowie reminded.
"True, but i'm laser-focused today! No distractions to be had! I don't know anyone named Chase, i've never even dated before!" Emma exclaimed. "Girl, you just went from confident to desperate. Are you sure you don't want to spill the tea on what happened between you two?" Bowie prodded at the situation.
"I can't hear you! La la la!" Emma covered her ears and began shouting, leaving Bowie with a grimace.
(Confessional)
Bowie- "This is SO MUCH harder than I thought it'd be! I've determined that Emma may have some genuine trauma over what happened between her and Chase, or is just really stubborn when it comes to relationships. Either way…it's driving me crazy not knowing what it is!"
(Confessional End)
It cut to the next team, which was more of a super-team. Consisting of Axel, Damien, Zee, and Chase. "And then that guy totally backhanded both of my buds! But the footage was awesome and netted in so much cash!" Chase eagerly told a story of a past video.
"And where were you when this "prank" went down?" Damien raised an eyebrow. "Me? I was in the bushes with the camera, like I would risk harming this amazing face of mine." Chase smiled.
"*groans* You give more reasons to hate you each and every day, Chico." Axel groaned with disappointment. "That stuff in the vending machine looked so righteous…I wonder what i'll get?" Zee pondered, focusing on something entirely different.
"I'm just glad we got a relatively safe challenge for once. My nerves have been shot through the roof as of late, and this is definitely what I need." Damien shared. "Don't even think about getting complacent! An attitude like that could give you a one-way ticket to the loser's cabin!" Axel scolded.
"...I was just…saying…" Damien backed away from Axel. After that it cut over to MK, who was searching on her own. "Run…run…jump…dodge!" MK was announcing her movements as if she were in a video game.
"Now if I were as predictable as Chris and Chef, where would I hide a token relating to a lovable kleptomaniac such as me?" MK wondered. She made her way through the forest of Camp Wawanakwa, until she came across a large tent in the middle of a clearing.
"Craft Services, a place full of goodies to steal…perfect for little ol' me." MK laughed as she creeped closer to the tent.
(Confessional)
MK- [Eating a piece of cake] "Did I mention I love causing mischief? And my small size helps me move quickly and quietly like a shadow…of course I also get called "Gremlin" a lot. But pros and cons, sticks and stones, yadda yadda blah blah."
(Confessional End)
It cut to another person working solo, this one being Scary Girl, and she was in the Communal Washrooms…with a lot of different cleaning chemicals. "Heehee, my school says I can't make mustard gas in the bathroom anymore…but not here!" Scary Girl giggled.
"Mmph…erg…ugh…oh that's it!" Scary Girl shuffled around before pulling a mint green coin out of her dress pocket. "You're bugging me so much, Mr. Coin!" She exclaimed before opening the bathroom door and throwing it like a frisbee.
"Oh Lauren, this won't backfire in the slightest…my ideas are always amazing!" Scary Girl hyped herself up. After that…thing, it cut to the final camper, Nichelle, who was walking through the campground alone.
"They expect me to walk around the whole damn island to look for a rinky-dink coin? I don't think so!" Nichelle huffed. "Although, I have been on pretty thin ice with my team, so maybe showing a little effort wouldn't be too bad…" She pondered the possibility.
But suddenly, with comedic timing, the coin Scary Girl threw landed right in front of Nichelle, it being her coin. "Huh…that was easy!" Nichelle picked up her coin and headed to the Girl's Cabin to relax a while.
It then cut back to Caleb, Wayne, and Raj, who were still searching. "So guys, I just had a thought." Caleb said. "A thought? I hope it's the good kind! Because those are the best thoughts." Wayne interjected.
"Uhh…yeah, of course it is." Caleb slowly nodded. "What if the three of us…cool guys…formed an alliance?" Caleb forced himself to get on their level. "For real? Like, a real alliance?" Raj asked.
"Of course, I help you and you two help me. Pretty sweet deal, huh?" Caleb raised an eyebrow. "You betcha! I'm in on that." "So am I!" Wayne and Raj agreed. "That's great to hear…really great." Caleb smirked.
(Confessional)
Caleb- "Mission accomplished, now I just need one more and i'll have the majority. I am about to RUN this game!"
(Confessional End)
It cut back over to Priya and Millie, who had now begun searching by a river. "And the wolves stood no chance!" Priya finished telling another life experience. "...That's great." Millie wasn't even paying attention anymore.
"But enough about me, let's talk about you!" Priya said. "Wait what?" Millie snapped out of her daze. "What's your story? What do you like? What's your strategy to win this game? How'd your parents train you?" Priya asked super quickly.
"...Uh, I guess I just like...writing?" Millie tried dodging the question. "Aw come on, there's gotta be more!" Priya prodded at the subject. "Well...hey, look at that!" Millie pointed at something shiny hidden in some bushes.
The duo investigated said object and it was revealed to be a pink, frisbee-sized coin with Caleb's face engraved in it. "It's a coin...but not one of ours." Millie pointed out. "I see that." Priya looked around before picking up the coin and getting ready to throw it.
"Priya?" "They never said anything about sabotage." The two briefly conversed, until..."Attention campers!" Chris' disappointed voice said through the camp loudspeaker. "Chef has graciously reminded me to tell you all that any attempt to sabotage the other team will result in a penalty." Chris said.
"Damnit!" Priya shouted before dropping the coin. "Hey, let's just keep searching." Millie tried to calm down Priya. "Okay then, let's get searching!" Her mood did a 180.
After that it cut back to Bowie and Emma, trekking up the 1,000-foot cliff. "Bowie...not that I don't appreciate the workout...but why are we climbing this giant cliff?" Emma tiredly asked. "Because I theorize that each coin is hidden based on the personalities of the individual." Bowie explained.
"And since I consider myself a peak individual..." Bowie trailed off as the two reached the top. And sitting right there was a violet coin with Bowie's face on it.
"It'd be atop the tallest peak." Bowie finished. "Whoa...that's smart." Emma said in amazement. "Now we just need to find yours. Perhaps it has something to do with that thing you're keeping to yourself?" Bowie leaned forward.
"Or maybe...I like to consider myself a people person, so it's probably where a ton of people usually are!" Emma concluded. "Are you certain?" Bowie asked. "Definitely, abso-positively." Emma nodded before the two began making their way back down,
(Confessional)
Bowie- "...Not even gonna complain."
(Confessional End)
It cut back to the super team, who were quite literally turning over every stone. "Search over there! Now over there! We already searched back there!" Axel was barking orders.
Aw man, I think my fingers are crying for help." Zee held up his hands. "We have been searching a little intensely. They say overdoing it with physical activity can cause the body to shut down." Damien said.
"I hate to agree with anyone, but i'm not used to getting down and dirty." Chase agreed, fanning himself with a red coin. This caused his teammates (minus Zee) to just stare at him.
"Chase...where'd you find that?" Damien slowly asked. "This? We passed a whole bunch of them, but this had my face on it, so I grabbed it." Chase explained.
"And exactly which colors were the ones we passed?" Axel was shaking. "It's crazy, there was a green one, a yellow one, and a dark blue one...sort of like the clothes you guys always wear." Chase explained ignorantly.
"YOU MOTHER-!" Axel lunged at Chase and tackled him to the ground. Meanwhile Damien and Zee were watching from the sidelines.
"Uh...should we do something?" Zee asked. "I feel like we normally should, but I love my life. And would rather prefer to continue living." Damien explained.
After that it cut to MK sneaking through Craft Services, dodging several Interns while doing so. "Let's see...it's not on any of the food tables." MK whispered. I don't see a back room of any kind..." MK looked around before seeing an interaction between two Interns.
"Your job is to hold this coin until she finds you. Got it?" A white boy with short brown hair and wearing a green Intern shirt handed a maroon coin to the second Intern.
"But, why me exactly?" The second Intern asked. They being a teenage girl with tan skin, poofy brown hair, and wearing a red hat and purple shoes.
"Because i'm the Head Intern, Alexandria. Meaning i'm the Third-In-Command on this island. Now hold the damn coin or you're fired!" The Head Intern exclaimed before walking away.
"Hmph, hardass..." Alexandria huffed. Afterwards, MK poked her head out from her hiding place. "Hey, Intern girl." She said. "What the...? Oh, it's you. I'm not gonna ask how you snuck in here." Alexandria said.
"I overheard that you had my coin. Can I have it?" MK asked with fake politeness. "Look, i'm only doing this because my parents urged me to get a summer job. Just take the coin and leave." Alexandria tossed MK the coin and walked away.
"Hehe...jackpot." MK held up her coin as it cut to a shot of the Communal Washroom. It lingered for a few seconds before the door opened, and a cloud of mustard gas released from the building.
And out from the washroom walked Scary Girl, who was perfectly fine. "Hm, that was fun, now what was I supposed to be doing?" Scary Girl wondered.
"Oh yeah, coins or something. Now where would I find mine...? Which spot really screams "I'm a scary coin, please come find me!", and purple, don't forget purple!" Scary Girl thought out loud.
"Hmm...if I was gonna be a coin, where would I hide myself?" Scary Girl searched the inner machinations of her mind. "Aha! I think I know where..." She looked towards one of the cabins.
It briefly cut to the Girl's side of the Frogs of Death's cabin. Where Nichelle was listening to a fancy-looking iPod. "Ooh...yeah...spin that stuff!" Nichelle was making a motion in the middle of the room.
"HERE IT IS!" Scary Girl slid out from beneath a bed holding her coin. "AGGGGHHHHHH!" Nichelle screamed for a comically long time, until Scary Girl slowly stopped smiling. And began looking at Nichelle with a blank expression.
(Confessional)
Scary Girl- "*shrugs* How was I supposed to know she would scream like that? I do that to my brother all the time...if anything i'm the one who screams half the time."
(Confessional End) and (Cut to Commercial)
It opened on Chris and Chef playing cards in a camera room. "So Chef, how're the campers doing?" Chris raised an eyebrow. "Let's see..." Chef looked away for a minute, and Chris switched out some of his cards.
"Looks like the Frogs of Death have found three coins, while the Ferocious Trout have found two...not bad." Chef answered with a nod.
"You know what else isn't bad?" Chris asked with a smirk. "What might that be?" Chef responded. Chris proceeded to lay his cards on the table. "Four Aces, I win!" Chris exclaimed.
"What the- how!?" Chef stuttered. "Pay up...Norbert." Chris grinned. It then cut over to Wayne, Raj, and Caleb. "You guys see anything?" The trio were searching the beach.
"Nothing but sand...same as before." Wayne answered. "Maybe we need a new approach, some new way of looking." Raj suggested. "You know what? You're right, I think maybe we should-" "Everybody shplit up!" Wayne interrupted Caleb, talking like a cowboy.
"Great idea, Wayner! We can search three places instead of one!" Raj exclaimed. "Woo, high five!" The Hockey Bros. high fived each other.
"Great, I can get some peace and quiet." Caleb muttered. As the trio split, it cut back to Priya and Millie. "*growl* Need to find it, need to win, we have to win!" Priya shouted.
"Priya, you need to calm down! Just because we haven't found our coins yet doesn't mean everything is lost." Millie assured. "Night in the woods when I was nine..." Priya was about to tell another story.
"Okay, I get the picture!" Millie stopped her. "But still, you're a strong player, you'll find your coin eventually." Millie said, before tripping on something brown and shiny.
"Ugh...hey, my coin!" Millie held up the object with her face printed on it. "That's...great." Priya's eye twitched. And then the camp megaphone turned on again.
"Campers, I told myself I wouldn't spoil the challenge or anything. But the scores are now tied up!" Chris' voice announced. "Tied!?" Priya exclaimed.
(Confessional)
Priya- "My parents always taught me, if you aren't winning at any point, even tied...you'll always be a loser."
Millie- "Yep...definitely have to write a whole other book."
(Confessional End)
It cut back over to Bowie and Emma, one of which was enjoying the other's company more than the second. "And then, you-know-who ate my french fries! He didn't even ask, he just swiped half the carton off my tray!" Emma angrily recounted
While Bowie was debating whether to give up on Emma, or suck it up and stick it to his "Alliance Mate". And then Bowie happened to catch a glimpse of that person in particular...with the Hockey Bros...splitting up from the beach. "What do we have here?" Bowie asked himself.
"Pardon?" Emma quizzically asked. "Uh, I was thinking...what if we split up? We can cover more ground, find more coins." Bowie suggested.
"But, you already have yours. Unless...oh, I get what you're doing." Emma nodded. "Something tells me you don't..." Bowie put on a fake smile. Now Bowie and Emma split up, Bowie heading in Caleb's direction, and Emma heading towards the fire pit.
It cut back to the super team, who were backtracking on account of Chase's past actions. "I said I was sorry." Chase now had several bruises on his face.
"Apology accepted, bro." Zee took a sip of soda. "Two-thirds majority, apology isn't accepted." Axel said. "Yeah, there's a chance we could be done right now." Damien had his arms crossed.
"You know, i'm surprised we haven't run into many wild animals. A bear attack would've made for a killer clip for a TDI compilation video." Chase said.
"Is everything in that brain of yours fame-related?" Axel asked. "And don't mention wild bears!" Damien exclaimed. Suddenly, a nearby bush began rustling.
"W-What's that?" Damien began panicking. "Fall in, Men." Axel ordered. "Ooh, this is gonna be great." Chase slowly stepped behind everyone. "..." Zee just smiled and continued drinking his soda.
The bush shook faster and faster, until...a raccoon popped out. "...Phew, it's only a raccoon." Damien sighed in relief. "Aw what? Total letdown and a half!" Chase shouted.
"Aww, you're a cute little thing. Aren't you?" Zee bent down and pet the raccoon. But this caused the raccoon's eyes to go from black to orange, and it scurried back into the bushes. "What in the hell?" Axel asked in bewilderment.
And then a loud thud began echoing around the area, and some nearby trees began getting knocked down. "Uhh...raccoon?" Zee fearfully said to the trees. And at that moment, a bipedal monster made out of raccoons stomped out of the foliage, and let out a Godzilla roar.
"...Got a scientific explanation for this?" Axel looked at Damien. "I...do not." Damien responded. "RUN!" Chase exclaimed, as the four campers booked it out of there.
(Confessional)
Axel- "I don't run from fights, and I don't run from wild animals...HOWEVER! A thirty foot tall mini-kaiju raccoon wasn't covered in my survival training."
Damien- [In the fetal position] "Looks like my blood pressure shot way the hell back up!"
Chase- "That was pretty cool, i'm probably gonna be in plenty of Total Drama edits for that."
Zee- "I wonder if the creature is as soft as a million balls of fur?"
(Confessional End)
It cut to the recently split up groups from the Frogs of Death. First it went over to Caleb, who was enjoying the peace and quiet. "*sigh* Finally away from those two loudmouths...I can finally think." He said with a smile.
"I wouldn't count on that, big boy." Caleb turned around and saw Bowie approaching him. "Well, if it isn't my main alliance member...what brings you here?" Caleb asked. "Come on, we may be an alliance publicly. But here, we're rivals...and I saw you with the Hockey Bros." Bowie stated.
"Wow, turning on me already? For shame Bowie, for shame...but admittedly you are right. You stole Emma from me, so i'm taking those dumbasses before you can get your perfectly manicured hands into them." Caleb explained.
"Well that's just petty...also thank you for noticing." Bowie held out one of his hands. "I don't like you, but handsome recognizes handsome." Caleb complimented. "But mark my works, you're not going to win this thing. The villain NEVER wins Total Drama." Bowie explained.
"Well you're not exactly a saint yourself, I'd give you late Pre-Merge tops." Caleb taunted. "Oh, we'll see about that, lazy eyes." Bowie taunted back. And then it cut over to the fire pit, where Wayne was turning over everything there.
"Coin, ya there?" He looked under the oil drum. "Anybody see a white coin with my face on it!?" Wayne looked around in case anyone appeared with an answer. "World, if you're listening...give me an answer to my problem." Wayne asked the sky.
"Hello? Is someone else here?" It panned over to show Emma entering the area. "...That was fast!" Wayne looked up and thanked the sky. "Oh, it's you...Wayne, right?" Emma asked. "Yep! And you're...Emma?" Wayne also asked. "Yeah, that's me...Emma." She awkwardly introduced herself.
"So uh, you also lookin' for your coin thingy? That's why i'm here too, but no luck, eh." Wayne explained. "Yeah, no luck for me either. But I had a feeling about this place, and I know i'm right on this one!" Emma said with confidence.
"Whoa, that sounds awesome. Where do ya think it is?" Wayne asked. "Well, I consider myself a people person. And the elimination ceremonies take place here, where a lot of people gather. And during our team's elimination ceremony, I sat on that stump over there...so it should be near that stump!" Emma explained her logic.
"That's..." Wayne was trying to find the words. "*sigh* I know, it's...dumb. I probably should've tried to convince Bowie to let me stay with him." Emma sadly said. "That's brilliant reasoning!" Wayne finally exclaimed. "Wait what?" Emma did a double take.
"I never woulda thought of that! Great dance moves, a great brain, you've gotta be a genius, Em!" Wayne clapped his hands. Meanwhile Emma had turned into a blushing mess. "U-Umm...thank you." She finally said, before slowly walking over to the tree stump, looking behind it, and grabbing an orange coin.
"*gasp* I was right!" Emma shouted with a big smile. "Woo-hoo!" Wayne cheered. "Say, how about I help you find yours now?" "Whoa...that's so awesome of you to do. Let's do it!" Wayne and Emma proceeded to leave the fire pit, in search of Wayne's coin.
(Confessional)
Emma- "Why am I so giddy? I haven't felt this happy since...before I met Chase."
Wayne- "I want to get to know all my teammates. And if every encounter goes as good as that one, then i'll be friends with everyone just like I am back home!"
(Confessional End)
It then cut to Raj, searching on his own. "Alright Raj, you're on your own. Imagine it's sudden death, ten seconds 'til the final horn. Wayner is charging to the right, Elliot is open on the left!" Raj was hyping himself up. "And Benji is blocking pucks left and right, the BearKats, are raging like a bunch of toddlers!" Raj continued.
"So whaddya gonna do, Raj? You're not just going to finish this challenge, you're gonna beat it into the barrier!" Raj shouted to the heavens. And then he walked up and grabbed the camera. "GO SNOW OWLS!" Raj then proceeded to hoot, before running off.
...And then promptly crashing into a tree. "Oof!" Raj fell on his back. "Ugh, that smarts..." And then an ivory white colored coin fell and hit him on the head. "Mission...accomplished!" Raj woozily exclaimed.
Right after that it cut to a shot of some trees, followed by a monstrous roar. And then the sight of Axel, Chase, Damien, and Zee running through the forest. "Run, run, run, jump!" Axel ordered. "I can be a backpack while-" "SHUT UP!" Axel interrupted Chase.
The raccoon monster was shooting actual raccoons from its arms like some sort of rejected Ultraman monster. "Now I know how that Duncan guy felt." Axel commented. "Guys, I think we're going at this the wrong way." Zee tried to say, but was drowned out by the noise.
And then the group ran straight into a cliff, cornering them. "No no no no!" Damien was panicking. "Chicos, looks like we have to fight." Axel cracked her knuckles. "Great, now my face is gonna get even more messed up." Chase grumbled.
"WAIT!" Zee finally got everyone's attention, and then he casually walked up to the beast. "Hey, raccoon-monster...we're looking for a bunch of coins with our faces on 'em. There's a yellow one...a green one... a...blue one." Zee thought as he said his sentence.
The monster was quiet for a bit, before it slowly disassembled itself until it was back to being a bunch of regular animals. And then a few of the raccoons scurried up with Axel, Damien, and Zee's coins, holding them up to the campers.
"Thanks, animal dudes!" Zee thanked as the raccoons all ran away into the woods. Leaving Axel, Chase, and Damien with gaping mouths. "What...are...you?" Axel asked in sheer awe. "I think i'm a person." Zee casually took out a soda and cracked it open.
It cut back to Caleb and Bowie, still arguing about something. "Alejandro, he made it to the finale." Caleb said. "But he lost in the end." "Because he decided to choose some overrated, ugly-haired wench over a million dollars. He could've BOUGHT so many women's love with that money." Caleb and Bowie conversed.
"So you have a problem with winners?" Bowie raised an eyebrow. "I do actually...like Cameron from Season 4, in no way did he deserve to get that far. And Lightning deserved the win way more, there were Superbowl Rings on the line! I don't watch American Football but still." Caleb stated.
"Wow...so looks like I know the kind of shallow person I saved from elimination." Bowie walked ahead of Caleb. "Oh please, like that hippie girl would've been useful." Caleb argued back.
"You know this "alliance" really has been one big cluster- waugh!" Bowie tripped over something, losing his train of thought. "What happened?" Caleb caught up. "Ugh, I tripped over some stupid..." Bowie trailed off as he held up Caleb's pink token from earlier.
"Well, ain't karma something?" Caleb gave Bowie a smirk. And once more the loudspeaker went off. "Attention campers! It's down to the wire, as of right now only one person from each team has yet to find their coin...meaning victory is literally a 50/50 shot!" Chris announced.
It briefly cut to side-by-side shots of Priya and Wayne, who began screaming in terror. "I'm the only member of my team without their coin!?" Priya shouted. "Oh no, it's the Semifinals against the Bobcats all over again!" He panicked.
"Millie, move it into gear, because we need to triple time this!" Priya ordered Millie. "*gulp* Y-Yes ma'am." Millie slowly saluted. "Emma, really concentrate. Where would my coin be?" Wayne asked.
"Uh, you're pretty tough, a sports guy...but also not the smartest." Emma honestly analyzed. "So maybe it'd be somewhere nobody..." "A normal person wouldn't think of looking!" They both determined.
"Sorry for calling you dumb...it's just-" "Aw, no offense taken, eh." Wayne waved away the accidental insult. And then it cut back to Priya and Millie, who were sprinting.
"Where...*pant*...are we going!?" Millie was panting. "The middle of the island, of course they would put mine in the center of the competition!" Priya exclaimed.
"Are you-" "I am certain!" Priya desperately shouted. Meanwhile, Wayne and Emma arrived at the spot nobody had attempted to check...the starting line at the Amphitheatre.
"The two coins that they showed at the start..." Emma said as she and Wayne climbed the stage and approached the wagon from earlier. And lo and behold, Wayne's and Priya's coins were in there. *gasp* We...we did it." Wayne slowly picked up his coin.
"Campers!" Chris' voice called out one last time. It seems that the Frogs of Death have found all their coins, meaning that they're the winners of today's challenge!" Chris exclaimed. And at this news, every member of the team cheered for their victory. Before cutting back to everyone at the Amphitheatre.
"Frogs of Death, looks like you're on your first winning streak, lucky you." Chris announced. "Woo!" "Noice!" Wayne and Raj fistbumped. "And as promised, you can trade those coins for stuff in this vending machine...or keep 'em, they're yours now." Chef added.
"Ferocious Trout, i'd go ahead and decide on who you're voting out." Chris said, as every member of the Ferocious Trout began looking at each other. "Is what i'd NORMALLY say if this weren't a reward challenge!" Chris exclaimed.
"Time out...nobody's going home?" Damien asked. "Not today, we were feeling generous. Also gives the losers some time to soak in their personal failures." Chris explained. "Ah I see, that makes sense." Zee shrugged.
(Confessional)
Priya- [Head in hands] "I blew it...so hard today. Mom, Dad, I am SO sorry! W-We hadn't done scavenger hunt training since I was four...UGH!"
Emma- "I can't say I didn't enjoy today's challenge. I have...no idea why I sort of opened up to some guy I barely know, maybe it's because of all the Chase stuff going on. But I genuinely felt happy around that Wayne guy...who knows, maybe the whole thing was just in my head though?
(Confessional End)
It cut to Chris standing on the Dock of Shame. "Well, no elimination today. But will the next episode have one in store? Stay tuned to find out on the next episode of Total...Drama...Island!" Chris exclaimed.

Author's Note- Post Script
So no elimination this time, which may be a bummer due to how long the wait was. But I wanted there to be some "filler episodes" where the characters get a little more screen time in general.
But this chapter definitely laid the building blocks for some future plot points, and others...I'll save for later. But as I always say, look out for more!
