A/N: Welcome to the serengeti. We're so close to the finale. Like, after this there's only five more episodes. I can't believe I'm actually going to finish this trilogy!
The recep opens with a shot of the great wall of China. "Last time on Total Drama World Tour." Jo is shown hitting a clay mine, followed by Eva and Noah seeing the explosion from a distance. "Thanks China we had a blast!" Noah is shown trying to stop his runaway donkey, then Brick and Anne Maria are shown hitting the gong at the end of the race.."Just not the kind associated with fun."
Everyone is shown eat the table of the restaurant. Then Alejandro is shown ducking under the table, Xena is shown beating Jo, and then she's is shown in the confessional popping a breath mint into her mouth. "In a competition to eat all the of the grossest chinese food some cheated and other cheated better! Xena nice!"
Anne Maria is shown taunting Eva, then taking the drop of shame. Followed by Noah taking the phone from Chris and the host making the big announcement. "Anne Maria's taunting of Eva caused her to take the drop of shame, and thanks to Noah working with the producers, there are no more reward challenges and a double elimination!"
Chris is in the cockpit to end the recap. "We're down to the final seven, who won't make it to the final five? Who will face our double elimination? Find out, 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 begins in economy class Alejandro, Noah, and Eva are on one bench and Jo is on the other, with Topher. "Ugh! Xena's in first class with Brick and I'm stuck back here. He's too naive, Xena's totally going to try and use him!"
"And you care why?" Noah smirked.
"I don't! It's just that we're working together! I don't want him betraying me!" Jo explained.
Alejandro smirked. "Methinks the lady doth protest too much."
"Oh can it Al! We're down to the final seven and there's no way I'm letting your little posse make it further!" Jo said.
"True, with a double elimination on the line, if your group all makes it to the next challenge you'll have majority." Topher explained, a cruel smirk growing on his face. "And a friendship finale is the last thing anyone wants out of Total Drama."
[confessional]
Topher: For optimum drama we need to get rid of at least one of Alejandro's alliance, if not two. Brick and Jo have their little will they won't they thing going on and Xena's starting to act villainous.
Static
In first class Brick is sitting in a chair eating a sandwich. Xena is across from him reading. The cadet looked a little suspicious. "So, you're the logical sort. There must be some reason you invited me up here?"
"Of course there is, but there's no logical reason to tell you what it is." Xena told him.
Brick sighed and continued to eat his sandwich.
[confessional]
Xena: Sure I could try to convince Brick to turn against Jo, but that would put him against me. Rather the plan is simple. I do absolutely nothing except invite him up here. With Jo's paranoia she'll surely not believe him when he tells her. Thus throwing her off for the challenge and creating more friction between them.
Static
The plane is shown to have landed in a grassland. The six remaining contestants stand side by side waiting for Chris to show up. Chris joins them soon after. He's wearing an orange robe and a bald cap.
"Finally gave up on that wig you call hair Chris?" Noah smirked.
"It's traditional Maasai warrior garb and it came with this." Chris smirked, holding up a spear and throwing it at him, he managed to dodge.
"Maybe don't taunt the guy with a spear?" Brick told Noah.
"Trust me. That's the least dangerous thing that'll happen to you today," Chris chuckled. "Welcome to beautiful Tanzania home of the Serengeti plains and over seventy different kinds of animals that can kill you."
"You said the same thing in Australia and we're still alive." Eva pointed out.
"Yeah, it's not even surprising anymore." Jo agreed.
Chris frowned at them all. "Whatever."He brought out his host smile. "Okay, challenge time!" The host continued leading them to a large rectangular dirt arena with four decorative statues in each corner. At the end was a large box of plums and several small wooden pillars with a gourd atop each. Chef stood behind these. Chris held a soccer ball in his right hand and a cricket bat in his left. "Part one combines two of Africa's most popular sports. Soccer and Cricket. I call it sock it to me the me being you of course." Chris explained.
"Oh no. Not more sports." Noah groaned.
"Well I don't mind." Jo smirked.
Topher winced. "Sweat is such a bad look for me, but at least I know I won't be last." He smirked looking at Noah.
"Each player must run one at a time from the starting line to that pile of African Safou plums. Grab as many as you can carry and run back, and you'll be doing all of this while your fellow competitors pummel you with soccer balls." Chris explained.
"Ooh a soccer ball, I'm so scared." Eva said. Chris kicked a ball into her face. Eva didn't even flinch. "I could crush it with my bare hands if I wanted."
Chris gave her nervous look. "Next, take the plums you brought back and whack them with the cricket bat to crack those gourds open. Like this." Chris threw the plum in his hand into the air and hit it with the cricket bat. It struck Chef in the forehead causing him to fall over.
"Whoever cracks their gourd open first wins a reward that will be muy helpful in the next challenge. Now positions people. Brick you're up get ready." The host ordered them.
/
The kickers are shown on either side of the obstacle course. Alejandro, Noah, and Eva on one side. Jo, Xena, and Brick on the other. Topher stood at the start of the course. "Just try to avoid the face okay?"
"Ready, steady, Serengeti!" Chris called, blowing a whistle. Topher began to run down the stretch of dirt. Noah attempted to kick his ball at the blonde but it didn't make it far. Xena's ball hit him but so lightly it didn't do anything. Brick hit him in the shins with his ball. Topher fell over but managed to get back up and grab an armful of the plums from the crate. As he ran back he was hit in the legs by Alejandro's ball. Then both Eva and Jo's headed for his head. The blonde gasped and dropped all his plums, covering his face.
"Not the face!" Topher screamed as both balls hit. He fell to the ground completely unconscious.
Chris laughed. "That was awesome! Top that Eva!" He blew his whistle.
The iron woman took off. Noah didn't even bother to kick his ball. Topher was still knocked out. Xena once again hit but without enough strength to do anything. Alejandro missed and hit Jo instead.
"Ow! That was on purpose!" The jockette glared.
Eva reached the plums and began to run back suddenly two balls hit her in the head. It did nothing. Brick and Jo gave each other surprised looks. "What is her head made of?" The cadet asked.
Eva made it back with all of her plums.
"Nice! Brick! Your go!" Chris blew his whistle.
Brick began to run down the path. Topher had finally recovered, but still missed his shot. Noah tripped over his own ball, and Xena's hit as usual but wasn't strong enough to actually throw Brick off. Eva's hit him square in the jaw causing him to fall over.
"Get up! You're not giving up on me now! I won't work with a quitter!" Jo encouraged.
Brick got back up and Jo shot her ball, but missed. Likely on purpose. Brick grabbed and armload of plums and began to run back. About halfway, Alejandro kicked a ball in his direction. It missed.
"Strange, Alejandro's been hitting his mark every time." The cadet noted.
The ball hit the ground and doubled back hitting Brick in the head.
"Whoa. Harsh dude, but hilarious." Chris smirked.
The cadet did manage to get up and bring most of his plums back.
/
Jo was next, and she looked confident. Chris blew his whistle and she rushed down the track at top speed. She easily dodged Topher's shot. Per usual Xena's hit its mark but wasn't strong enough to phase Jo. Noah somehow managed to kick his ball into his own face. Brick didn't even shoot.
Jo grabbed her plums and began to run back, she was then hit by two balls in the chest and back area. While it did cause her to drop a third of her plums, she still made it back.
"Xena go!" Chris blew his whistle. She dodged Topher and Brick's balls. Noah's ball completely missed and hit Chris instead.
"Hey! Watch it!" The host snapped.
Xena got hit by Jo's ball but managed to roll into a crouch and continue running. She grabbed her plums from the crate and headed back being hit by Alejandro's ball, knocking some plums out of her arms. Then Eva's ball hit and Xena dropped all but three. She did get to the finish with those.
"Bring it on Alejandro!" Chris declared, blowing his whistle for the final time. Three balls headed towards him at once, but Alejandro easily kicked them back. Brick, Jo, and Xena were hit in the face. He easily grabbed his plums, dodging any and all balls kicked at him on the way back. He kept all of his plums.
(Confessional)
Alejandro: My brother Carlos is a professional soccer player.
Static
"Last and definitely least, Noah." Chris smirked.
Noah sighed as the host blew his whistle. He began to run across the track. Jo aimed her ball and kicked it at him, but instead of hitting Noah her ball was blocked by another. The focus zoomed out to show Alejandro as the one who kicked it.
"Hey, is he allowed to do that?!" The jockette snapped in Chris' direction.
"I don't see why not." The host said.
Brick shot his ball and Eva followed Alejandro's lead and blocked it with her own ball. Noah finally reached the plums, shoving several into his pocket and holding the rest. He began to move back and Topher's shot missed. As he neared the end of the track Xena shot her ball, as usual it hit and for once was enough to trip up the runner. Noah fell on and crushed all of his plums as he reached the finish.
/
The contestants are all lined up the starting line with cricket bats. "Remember, the first person to smash through gets the advantage. Go!"
Topher swung at hisplum and did manage to hit it, but he hit Chef's nuts rather than his gourd.
"Ouch that's gotta hurt!" Chris chuckled. "Didn't you lose all your plums?"
"Brick gave me a couple." Topher smirked.
"It'll be more exciting if you stand here." Chef muttered. "Stupid show."
Jo hit her gourd but only managed to crack it. "Hey, soft fruit isn't the best ammo."
Brick cracked his gourd as well. He went to hit a second plum and missed hitting it into Jo instead.
Chris laughed. "Oh yeah, they're meant for each other."
"Shut up Chris!" Jo snapped.
Eva growled as her plum missed her gourd. Noah pulled out a plum from his cargo pants pocket and attempted to hit his gourd but the plum fell to the ground a couple feet away. Alejandro missed his shot as well.
Xena threw her plum into the air and hit it with perfect timing, cracking her gourd. In quick succession she threw up another one and hit her gourd perfectly, breaking her gourd open completely.
And the winner of our first challenge is Xena!" Chris declared
[confessional]
Xena: As you saw with my football kicks, my aim is impeccable. It's my strength that is lacking.
Static
"The rest of you have ten seconds left to crack your gourd, and trust me you want what's inside." Chris told them
Alejandro cracked his gourd open quickly. Then Jo and Brick got theirs open. Topher managed to hit his a couple times to get it open. Eva gave up on using the plums and just threw her bat at the gourd, breaking it open.
Following the iron woman's lead, Noah hefted the cricket bat into his hands, swung around and threw it with all his strength. Somehow it missed entirely and hit a barely recovered Chef in the nuts again. He passed out.
"Broken but not a gourd." Chris chuckled. "No success for Noah will make it a lot harder to deal with this!" The host pointed at a large crate that was moving.
"What exactly is in that there?" Brick asked nervously.
" You should be scared." Chris told them. "Part two of our challenge is a genuine African safari. And the prey..." Chris knocked on the crate which made more noise in response. "Why only the most dangerous animal of all."
An intern opened the crate with a crowbar, revealing a female intern in an ill fitting red shirt uniform. She had black hair in a ponytail and black eyes. She was short and pale with a unibrow. She looked crazed. "A desperate intern." Chris chuckled. "I told her if she could catch you all I'd let her out of the contract she signed."
"No more working for Chris!" The intern snapped. "No more mush that barely passes as food! No more long work hours with no pay!"
"Wow. Chris, that's really messed up." Brick said.
"Honestly, I'm not surprised." Noah said.
"So it's your job to bring her down." The host continued. "Whoever does wins invincibility, and first class seats to our next destination with the player of their to your gourds and check inside. They contain what you'll use to hunt with."
Xena reached into the gourd and pulled out a slingshot. "Perfect. I'm an expert shot."
Jo pulled out a pocket and belt. "What's this for?"
Chris pulled out a pink ball. "Tranquilizer balls! Fling them with enough velocity and they burst on contact. Numbing the area and releasing a hearty dose of sleepy time goodness. Watch as this intern demonstrates." The blonde intern in the blue shirt seen before was shot by Chris. He passed out.
" It's like paintball only with naps!" The host explained. "And that's not all. Not only will you be voting on who you want to leave, but you'll all be judged by how well you do. Whoever does the worst according to Chef is eliminated automatically."
"Now stand back, people. We're gonna give the freedom hungry monster a head start. Hey Chef!" He called."Release the beast." Chef did so, and the intern ran off immediately.
"Wow. She really wants to get out of her contract." Topher noted.
"Why wouldn't you?" Brick said.
"Okay, since Xnea won the first challenge, she gets six tranq balls." Chris said, handing them to the overlogical girl. "Alejandro, Jo, Brick and Topher you cracked yours open so you get three." the host handed the balls over to the four. "Eva you get two."
"I cracked my gourd!" She pointed out.
"Technically you hit it with a cricket bat, and Noah since you didn't break your gourd you get one tranq ball and no slingshot." Chris said, handing him one.
"Well this is promising." The Cynic snarked.
"You're just gonna have to throw the balls hard enough to make them burst. Which will be hilariously ineffective I'm sure. And-" Chef blew a large horn. "Go!"
/
Eva, Noah, and Alejandro are somewhere in the grasslands talking. "We have six tranqballs between us. That's problematic."
"Yeah." Jo chuckled from a spot nearby. "I've got half of that, and I'm only one person."
Alejandro walked over to her and slung an arm over her shoulders. "Perhaps you would be willing to work with us?"
Jo pushed the arm off of her. "Please I'm not gonna fall for your sweet talking." She turned to Brick. "Hey Private Pushover! Let's move out!"
Brick ran after the jockette. Eva turned to Alejandro. "Why on earth did you offer her to work with us?!"
"It was a ploy." Noah smirked, looking at the Spaniard expectantly.
A match smirk grew on Alejandro's face as he opened his hand to reveal all three of Jo's tranqballs. "She'll have a hard time without these."
/
Jo and Brick are walking around when they come across a moving bush. They both nod and sneak up. "I get first shot," The jockette said, reaching into her pouch. "What the? My Ammo! Al! Brick, give me yours!"
"I think we have bigger problems." the cadet said as the lion stepped out of the bush and roared.
"Oh crap!"Jo exclaimed.
The lion roared at them again and they ran off with a scream Brick fumbling around in his pouch as the large feline followed in hot pursuit.
Chris popped up to transition to commercials. "Who will survive? King of the jungle? Or our erstwhile rivals? Find out right after this, on Total Drama World Tour!"
/
The sun glares down on two contestants. Xena and Topher are walking through the plains. The overlogical girl raised a brow at him. "Is there a reason you're following me?"
Topher smirked. "I just wanted to see how you would handle this challenge."
Xena sighed. "Well if you're going to follow me you're going to help. Position your back against mine so we have as close to a three hundred and sixty degree view as possible."
Topher did so and the two of them began to walk back to back slingshots at the ready. Eventually Topher pointed at something. "Xena, I can see some shoe tracks."
"Small tracks." Xena noted as she turned to look at them briefly. "I believe the only person other than the intern we seek to possibly have such small tracks is Noah, but his hiking boots are larger than this. Plus these tracks were clearly made by a sneaker."
"So it's probably the intern?" Topher asked.
"I'm ninety nine percent certain of it." The over logical girl replied.
They continue forward, still standing back to back. Then Xena stops. "Perhaps we should set a trap for her?"
"I'm good at setting people up." Topher smirked. Little did either of them know that they had started to sink in the sand beneath them. "One time I kept leaving fake secret admirer notes in this girl's locker and then I told her to meet me on the football field. You should have seen the look on her face when no one sh-" Topher frowned as paused in his story. "Am I getting shorter?"
Xena sighed. "No, we appear to have stepped into quicksand."
/
Meanwhile Noah, Alejandro, and Eva were walking through the plains together. Noah sighed, lifting up a forked stick. "It's not great, but it'll do. If Alejandro has an extra hair tie?"
"Of course I do." The Spaniard said, handing a hair tie over.
"Thanks." Noah walked over to a very leafy tree. As he began to work, the focus moved up the tree. Max poked his head out of the leaves. He smirked, and pulled out a banana. "Luckily I have a large target." He cackled as he dropped the banana, where it landed in Noah's open cargo pants pocket. Then he withdrew into the leaves of the tree again.
[Confessional]
Max: I saw some monkeys nearby. So I took a banana from first class. Maybe this will make them attack!
Noah looked at the makeshift slingshot in his hand. "Well that's about as good as it's gonna get."
"Great, can we get going now?" Eva complained.
/
Topher and Xena are still sinking in quicksand. The former is screaming and flailing while the latter remains still and calm. "Stop moving. The more you move the quicker you sink. Act as though you are in a swimming pool attempting to float on your back."
"What swimming pool is made of deadly sand?!" Topher panicked.
"Well, well, well, What do we have here?" A low female voice could be heard. Entering the area through the nearby bushes was Jo.
"Jo, I would appreciate it if you helped me." Xena said.
"Us! She means us!" Topher said
"What advantage will that give me?" The jockette asked.
"It'd impress your boyfriend." Topher smirked. "Speaking of which, I thought you two were getting some alone time?"
"Not my boyfriend! Also we ran into a lion and got separated." Jo huffed. "Now why should I help you?"
"I am willing to offer a boon." Xena said. "I was the one who won part one of the challenge. Should you agree to help me, I will give you two of my six tranquilizer balls."
Jo scoffed, though her face gave the game away. "Why would I need that?"
"It gives you more chances to capture the intern?" Xena pointed out.
Jo rolled her eyes. "Fine." She pulled Xena out. Both girls turned to leave.
"What about me?!" Topher complained.
"Why should I save you?" Jo asked.
"Because…I'll vote out whoever you want." The blonde smirked.
Jo turned back and grabbed Topher, pulling him out as well. "Now come on Slowpher! We've got tracks to follow!" The jockette smirked.
/
Back with Alejandro, Eva, and Noah, they are looking around. "Not too many signs of her." Noah sighed.
"Perhaps we should search elsewhere." Alejandro said.
"Well-" Eva began, then a loud scream rang through. "What the?" That was when Brick ran right into her. Both of them reeled back.
Alejandro looked on in concern. "Eva? Are you alright?"
"I will be as soon as I strangle whoever ran into me!" Eva growled.
"I'm sorry I was running from a lion!" Brick said.
"Didn't you go off with Jo?" Alejandro asked.
"We got separated trying to get away." Brick admitted. "Though we might have had more of a chance if someone didn't steal all of Jo's ammo!"
"Oh? Someone stole Jo's ammo?" Alejandro asked.
"Don't play innoce-" Brick began but he was cut off by a high pitched scream. Everyone turned around and saw Noah was in the arms of a Mandrill.
As the monkey ran off, Noah screamed. "At least take me to dinner first!"
"We should go after him." Brick said.
"Or we could-" Alejandro began, but some nearby bushes rustled. "You hear that?"
"Could be the intern." Eva smirked. They both headed in that direction, slingshots at the ready.
"What about Noah?" Brick asked.
"After we check this out." Alejandro said. Brick sighed and got his slingshot ready as well.
They ran out of the grass to see Jo, Topher, and Xena. With everyone on a hair trigger they ended up launching their shots too quickly. All six contestants fell to the ground unconscious.
The musical note appeared with its usual ding. "It's song time!" Chris called as the focus moved right to show Chris, anc Chef in a jeep. "Hello?" The screen goes black as someone's eye is opened to reveal Chris above them. "Hey! Anybody home?!" The angle changed so we can see Chris is holding Eva's eye open. "Were you the one who beat that kid up?"
"He deserved it!" Eva snapped her eyes shooting open.
Chris stood up. "Half an hour of you guys sleeping?!" The host snapped. "Oh yeah that's gonna be great for ratings! I want a song pronto! No matter where the tranqballs hit you, and how groggy you might be now sing!"
(Song Twenty Four: Wake Up)
Topher started to sing. He was moving his arm in an attempt to regain movement. It ended up on his face instead. "Well, it's a beautiful day on the Serengeti. The perfect time to snag a pup. I'll find that intern and win this whole game, as soon as my leg wakes up."
Xena turned to him as she sang. "Following me around was quite sad and pathetic but that's always been the case."
"Hey!" Topher protested.
Eva huffed, shaking her arm as she sang. "We teamed up to look for an intern. There hasn't been much of a trace."
Jo was moving her shoulders. "Teamwork, gets you nowhere around here, you're a loser trio that's all!"
Alejandro smirked as he pulled himself closer to her. "Loser is what the lion called you, when you couldn't find your balls, tranq balls that is. I wonder where they went?"
Brick stood up and fell back down, before standing up unsteadily again. "I've been ordered to sing, and I can't go against command." He touched his face. "I gotta stay in." He fell over again and began getting back up. "Jo? Jo, are you here?" He touched his face again. "My movement's been compromised! Call for backup! Jo? Jo?"
Xena slowly stood up on her left leg before gingerly placing her right foot down. It collapsed under her. "Well the weather's fair, on the Serengeti, though this song hopes to interrupt. I'll catch that intern, and win this whole game, as soon as my foot wakes up. My foot."
Everyone is revealed to have stood up as they list off the body parts that are most asleep.
Alejandro:My hand
Eva: My arm
Jo: My shoulder
Topher: My leg.
Brick: Ugh. My face.
All six are shown stretching on last time over a blue and white starburst background to end the song. ""Wake uuuuuuu-uh-uh-uup! Wake uuuuuuuuuuuuup!"
Chris looked irate from his position on the jeep. "Someone had better catch her fast, cause you only have one more hour until we take off."
The host smirked as he turned to Chef. "Wanna watch the tranq ball massacre on the wide screen." Chef nodded and started the truck, driving off so quickly Chris fell host ran after him. "Hey get back here! And stay away from my hot tub!"
Eva and Alejandro turned to each other. "Should we go look for Noah?" Eva asked.
"I mean, we should, but if we do, we almost certainly won't win. We could very easily be voted out under those circumstances." Alejandro frowned.
Eva nodded. "Fine. Let's do both. You look for that intern, I'll rescue Noah. I can handle a couple of monkeys."
Alejandro nodded. "Indeed."
Meanwhile Jo turned to Brick. "Good. Now that you're here we can catch the intern!"
"Actually, Noah was kidnapped by a monkey. I feel like I need to help." Brick said.
"What?! Brick, are you cracked? We have an hour to catch that intern! We don't have time to play around with Noah and his monkey's. Besides, Al, and Eva are allied with him, so let them chase him down."
"Jo…I can't do that. I don't leave people behind. Besides, who's to say the intern isn't there?" Brick said.
"What! You are not looking for someone in an enemy alliance!" The jockette said.
"I have to." Brick told her.
As he began to walk off Jo snarled. "You go off and you can forget about us working together!"
Brick paused, looking hurt, but he steeled himself. "I like you Jo, a lot, but I'm compromising my morals for you." With that he walked off.
"Fine! Whatever! I don't need you!" The jockette yelled. A couple tears slid down her face. "I don't."
The focus shifted to Topher and Xena. "Listen, I know we have our differences, but I think if we work together we can win this challenge."
Xena pursed her lips. "Logically I should work with you considering our lack of time… very well then, but this is a temporary alliance."
"Of course. Now, do you have any ideas of how to catch her?" Topher asked.
"I was thinking we could perhaps, follow one of the more physically adept players, let them wear her down, and then shoot." Xena said.
"Kill stealing? I like it." Topher smirked.
Jo stormed off with Xena and Topher following her.
Alejandro smirked. "Let them do as they wish. I'm going to find the nearest watering hole. Surely, the intern will need to quench her thirst."
/
Noah is sitting on a stump with the mandrill from earlier holding him, and running its fingers through his hair.
"Noah! You're here! Are you okay?" Brick asked as he arrived.
"Oh sure, I love being groomed by a monkey with a crush on me." Noah deadpanned.
"Oh, do you…want me to leave?" Brick asked.
Noah scowled. "No you idiot! Get me out of here!"
Brick nodded and walked over. "Excuse me ma'am?" The mandrills turned to him. "Could you let my friend go?"
The mandrill yowled loudly, and several more mandrills arrived, all looking ready to 'protect' the newest member of their horde.
"Uh-oh" Brick swallowed. As one of the mandrills was about to hit him, someone punched the monkey away. The cadet gasped and turned to see Eva.
"Stop gaping and help me kick monkey butt!" Eva declared.
The two strong teens stood back to back as they began to take down monkeys with kicks, punches, and in Eva's case the occasional headbutt. Eventually the action shots stopped and the focus zoomed out to show the two of them surrounded by unconscious monkeys.
"Now give me the nerd or I'll pound you to a pulp!" Eva roared. Terrified, the monkey ran away. Noah opened his mouth to say something snarky, but didn't get the chance before Eva flung him over her shoulder. "Come on! Maybe we can catch the intern too!" She said, running off.
Brick looked around and all the unconscious monkeys. "Sorry, you attacked first." He said before running after the other two.
/
Jo was walking through another part of the plain when she tripped over a rock and fell into a bush of red berries. "Aw crud!" She sniffed. "Ugh. That smells awful." She stood up. "Whatever. I'm kind of thirsty." She headed off.
Topher turned to Xena as the two of them reached the bush. "Jo was definitely here."
"Indeed, and we can see she's gone in that direction. And Believe me we want to be there. That is a bush of Serengheti blood berries. They smell like fresh blood. The intern may want to check to see if Jo is injured."
"If she's nearby anyway." Topher said.

At the nearest watering hole the intern snuck out of the nearby bushes looking around nervously. As she was about to drink Jo arrived. The intern screamed. "You're not taking me back!" The intern leapt at Jo and the two began to fight. Sadly the intern was small and weak, so even running on desperation and adrenaline she quickly realized she was outmatched.
The intern went to run away when Jo moved to leap at her. "Oh no you don't! I don't need tranquilizers to take you down!"
Before Jo could grab the intern she was hit by a pink ball. "A tranquilizer?!" The focus became first person as the jockette looked over to see a blurry blob of maroon. "Al? You big je-" she passed out.
Once again in third person, Alejandro smirked and got his own slingshot ready. He shot towards the intern only for his ball to hit another ball. The focus moved out to show Xena had been the one to take the shot. She readied a second one and as it reached the intern it hit Topher's ball causing both to burst. When the dust settled the intern was passed out.
Chris, and Chef arrive in a jeep. "Congrats Topher and Xena! You are on your way to first class!"
"Both of us?" Xena asked.
"Well it was the dust of both your balls that got her." Chris shrugged.
Brick, Eva, and Noah arrived. "We just missed it." Brick sighed.
"Chef, get that intern." Chris ordered. The cook slung her over his shoulder. "Now let's get going."
"What about Jo?" Brick asked.
"You can carry her if you want." The host shrugged.

On the plane Alejandro is talking to Noah. "Do you have any idea why those monkeys grabbed you?"
"Yeah. I found a banana in my pocket. I have no idea how it got there," Noah said.
"You know, my skateboard was sabotaged last challenge. I think someone is setting people up." Alejandro. "We can discuss it after the elimination."
/
At elimination Chris begins his specheal. "Hmm tensiony. " He chuckled. "Alright before we count the votes Chef will be revealing who he thought did the worst today."
Chef Hatchet stepped forward. "I thought about it. You all did badly, but the worst has gotta be scrawny." He pointed at Noah. "You failed the first challenge and got captured by Monkey's during the second!"
Noah groaned. "I'm taken out by Chef again?!"
"That is ironic." Chris smirked. "So Noah's vote doesn't count. That being the case, barf bags go to Topher, Xena, Brick, and Eva." He tossed bags to each of them. "Jo? Alejandro? This is the final barf bag."
The focus shifted between the two rivals "and the final barf bag goes to…
The focus shifted between the two faster and faster until…
"...
…
…
…
… Jo." Chris smirked, throwing the last bag to her.
"What?! I lost both of my allies?!" Eva gasped.
"Yeah, kind of sucks for you eh Eva?" Chris chuckled. "By the way? I only have one parachute. You guys shared in London right?"
Both guys scowled as Alejandro put on the parachute and Noah allowed himself to be picked up.
"We'll be rooting for you Eva." Alejandro said.
"Yeah, you deserve the win." Noah smirked.
As they were about to jump Chris called out. "Oh and Noah? The position as my PA is open for you if you want it."
Noah smirked. "Only if I get a raise and a new contract."
"We'll draw one up after the season." The host said.
Alejandro turned to everyone. "Someone on the plane is sabotaging the contestants. Be on your guard."
With that Alejandro jumped out of the plane with Noah.
"Well Topher, Xena looks like you get to be in first class alone. Isn't that fun?" Chris smirked.
Xena's face didn't change but the aura of distaste coming from her made it clear she did not agree.
Topher chuckled. "I'm looking forward to it."
Topher: Xena's the villain of the season and I love to work with a villain. I'll bring it up to her later. . Plus Brick and Jo obviously need to be in economy together for the sake of drama.
Chris popped into the confessional.
Chris: Things are getting crazy! Thirteen down and only five remain. Who will almost die next? Find out right here on Total Drama World Tour!"
A/N: And so Alejandro and Noah leave. I wanted them both to leave at the same time because it ties off their rivals to friends arc well. In season one Noah beat Alejandro. Season two Alejandro beat Noah. And here in season three the two tie. Symbolically putting them on the same level. Because of this I needed the double elimination to have a sudden death aspect so Noah could be eliminated with Alejandro, rather than someone like Jo or Topher.
The intern replacing Ezekiel was a good idea in my opinion. I could see working for Chris driving you a little crazy. This particular intern is seen often in seasons four and five.
I also couldn't help but put Noah in the monkey situation. Side note the wiki refers to them as baboons but they have colorful faces so I think they're actually Mandrills. Which is why I referred to them as such. It was funny in canon and I thought it was funny here. In a different way, as Noah keeps his passive aggressive sarcasm intact. And it was really fun to have one final episode where we watch Noah fail at sports.
It also leads to the conflict between Brick and Jo. As Brick cannot leave Noah with the monkeys and Jo sees this as a betrayal. And their rift will be playing a huge role next episode and likely the episode after that. Let's just say Eva's about to end up in the middle of things.
Meanwhile Topher and Xena are starting to form an awkward duo. Something that will come into play next time.
