Nicktastic- Oh, trust me when I say there are no promises there.
tranquoc2004vn- Like I said in the last Post-Script it wasn't "technically" one of the new episodes. I just felt I had to completely remake the whole episode from the ground up since it was completely abhorrent. Possibly even more than the bike challenge, and Sundae Muddy Sundae combined. Also as for Caleb and Lauren, they both have important places in this rewrite and I thought a team swap would also mix things up, as neither of them were here at this point originally.
It opened on several raccoons sitting on lounge chairs on the beach.
(Narrated by Chris McLean)
Last time on Total Drama Island! After having a quaint breakfast, both teams were challenged to do some good old fashioned summer activities. Making sandcastles, surfing, and racing through freezing cold obstacle courses for invincibility!
The Frogs of Death won part one due to Emma, Wayne, and Raj goofing off the whole time. The Ferocious Trout won part two on account of Zee's ability to chill through any dangerous situation. And nobody won part three, hence a double-elimination occurred!
At the ceremony, it was Caleb and Scary Girl that didn't receive a marshmallow of delicious safety. But got ya, it was a team swap! So now they're competing against the people that voted them out.
Bet you're wondering what mischief is going to happen? Well stop worrying and start watching Total…Drama…Island!
(Cut to Intro and Back)
It faded into a shot of the Mess Hall, where both teams were eating what appeared to be breakfast burritos. "So, how's it feel to eat at the "cool" table?" Emma asked, nudging Lauren. "It's…something." She answered.
"Hey, if Emma's cool with you, then you're cool with us. Welcome to the Frogs, Lauren." Raj greeted. "It was nice having the mostly peaceful cabin while it lasted…" MK sighed. And Bowie just shrugged, meanwhile Wayne was over at the Trout's table…up in Chase's face.
"Oh you think you may be hot stuff, but I am…the big cheese." Wayne said with an intense gravely whisper. "Dude, this concerns me and Emma, not your third-wheeling ass!" Chase answered back.
"This goes for you and those other two guys in that beach house, you ain't nothing. And I am the cheese, and the cheese will rise to the top!" Wayne pulled out some cheese slices from his jersey sleeves to add to his point…and sounded like he was about five seconds from bursting through the wall and advertising beef jerky.
"That's it, this conflict is getting too weird for me. I'm tapping out while I still can." Axel shook her head. "Yep, ditto to that." Damien agreed.
(Confessional)
Emma- "So yesterday Raj warned me that Wayne was going through something. And my rattled self expected him to be cold, intense, and a complete 180 of the person I know…instead he's acting like…Macho Man Hogan or something?"
Caleb- "My team voted me off at the last ceremony. I expected this from Bowie, MK, and MAYBE Emma…but the Hockey guys!? This whole thing feels worse than Blueberry-Rhubarb Cake!"
(Confessional End)
It cut to Caleb angrily slamming the Mess Hall door open. "Hey Caleb, where've you been?" Bowie asked with a smug grin. "Getting saved by a second team swap?" Bowie began to laugh, before Caleb swiped Bowie's burrito and hit him with it.
"Up yours, Bowie." Caleb angrily said before walking to his new team's table. "*gasp*" "Oh wow." "Glad he's on our side now." Emma, MK, and Damien all reacted.
Wayne walked up to Caleb and tried squaring up to the larger boy. "You can't just slap a guy with a burrito! That's a penalty for you, bub!" He exclaimed.
"Out of the way, Wayne…" Caleb glared deep into Wayne's eyes. This briefly snapped Wayne out of his intense state. "I think I'll do just that." Wayne shuffled back to his team's table.
"Guys…what happened?" Wayne asked, suddenly very woozy. "Oh, you tried squaring up to Caleb because you were all roided out about Chase." MK answered. "Chase…that's right!" Wayne remembered.
"I'm confused and yet intrigued." Lauren commented. Suddenly the camp loudspeaker went off, cutting off any other potential conversations.
"Attention campers, finish up your brekkie and report to the field in twenty minutes. Because it's challenge time!" Chris exclaimed. "Good, these burritos suck anyway." Chase grumbled. "You're just a ball of sunshine, aren't you?" Caleb asked with a raised eyebrow.
(Confessional)
Chase- "You people on the forums may be slandering me, bashing me, and wondering why I'm not just quitting if I'm complaining so much. Well I'm not going out like that, I'm taking down Emma on the way out!"
(Confessional End)
It cut to the Frogs of Death all walking through the woods. "We really need to win this challenge. As much as I hate to admit it, Caleb was our strongest player, and now he's on the other team." Bowie said.
"And speaking of teams, where are the Hockey Bros.?" Emma asked. "Wait up, team!" Wayne shouted, he and Raj dashing to everyone. "Sorry guys, we wanted to wear our lucky playoff beards for this challenge." Raj explained.
(Confessional)
Wayne and Raj- [Wearing fake beards] "When your team's in the playoffs, it gets all stressful. So stressful that shaving is seen as bad luck." "So everyone ends up with beards." "We can't grow 'em yet…but one day we'll be able to grow luxurious face-manes, and scare the competition sideways! OHHH YEAHHH!"
(Confessional End)
"Wow, no fake beards? However shall we win without them?" MK sarcastically asked. "I feel you both…I still haven't found my contact lenses." Lauren added, pointing to her glasses. "Thinking about it, my heart sunglasses disappeared a couple days ago." Bowie pondered.
"Hmm…maybe I ate everything in my sleep! Lemme check…cat style!" Wayne suggested, before getting all fours and attempting to hack up the items in question.
"Wayne's REALLY good at this. One time he brought up three hockey pucks, a bottle of syrup, two rubber ducks, and a map of Northern Saskatchewan." Raj explained. "Aww, I always wanted a cat." Emma said, clasping her hands together.
"I have one, he's the greatest." Lauren smiled.
(Confessional)
MK- "Yeah, I took their beards, Scary Girl's contacts, and Bowie's sunglasses. I'm thinking about auctioning them off when I get home. Come on, who wouldn't pay some serious coin for stuff previously owned by TD contestants?"
(Confessional End)
It cut back to Wayne, who had coughed up a hockey glove, a hockey puck, a wallet full of money, a garage door opener, and an old membership card to Taj Mahome Video. "Huh, nothing in here." He scratched his head.
"I'm just gonna…" MK quickly snatched the wallet. "Ooh, can I have that? My brother collects old stuff like that." Lauren pointed to the video store card.
"Go ahead, I think that place closed down like twenty years ago anyways." Wayne shrugged before Lauren snatched the card.
"Seriously, there's a kleptomaniac on this island. I think I even overheard Damien say something about a medallion." Bowie was very confused. "And just this morning my hairbrush went missing, I can't compete with a bedhead!" Emma exclaimed.
"Hey, don't worry. You don't look that bad with messy hair." Wayne said, easing up a bit. "*sigh* I really appreciate the sentiment…but I still like my hair smooth." Emma pouted.
It now cut to the twelve campers standing by a catapult. The Frogs of Death all wearing blue helmets, and the Ferocious Trout wearing light gray. Chris and Chef were also there.
"Good day, boys and girls. Today's challenge is one we like to call "Stranger Flings", and no this has nothing to do with the paranormal." Chris clarified.
"Each team gets their very own state-of-the-art medieval catapult. Meant to fling your teammates as far as you possibly can." Chef explained.
And to demonstrate said explanation, Clyde stood over by a second catapult, and pulled the lever. It launching Alexandria straight through the air, screaming her lungs out. "I just tested them and they work!" He called out.
"U-U-Uh what now? Hold on a minute, doesn't this seem a little hardcore?" Chase began stuttering. "Your goal is to get your teammates into one of three high-value targets. Land in the first one, that's one thousand points. The second one is two thousand, and the third…you get it." Chef continued.
"What's with those big holes in front of and behind the targets?" Damien asked. "Ah, those are full of dangerous and painful penalties." Chef answered.
"We were a little busy coming up with the catapult thing, so we left it up to our wholesome Head Intern." Chris motioned over to Clyde, who was waving at everyone with a smile that puts canon Scary Girl to shame.
"If you overshoot or undershoot your target, you'll land in there. As for what awaits you in there…hehehe." Chris chuckled. "If you land in a points section, then come out the door and return to your team." Chef instructed.
"Chase, are you alright?" Chris asked. It panned over to Chase, who was quietly laughing while in the fetal position. This action got a very satisfied smirk out of Emma.
(Confessional)
Emma- "Chase never did ANY of his own stuff, and the stuff on his channel he did do was secretly done in blender. However one time he was forced to go on the Slingshot ride at Six Flags, and he passed right the hell out before the ride started!"
(Confessional End)
"I just, I um, you know…how about I work the catapult? I'm used to being all lowkey and working the equipment anyway." Chase fumbled. "Nope! Every team member must take a turn before anyone goes twice. If you don't, then the challenge doesn't end." Chef shut down that idea.
"First team to reach twelve thousand points first will win. And since we felt kinda bad about the hot tub, the winning team's reward will be some high quality blankets, pillows, and sheets for their cabins." Chris announced.
"Okay, now those I seriously need." Caleb said. "I'm a survivalist, I've slept in the woods hundreds of times…but I would also appreciate the extra comfort." Axel nodded. "Boy, I may be trying my hardest not to have a panic attack, and those comfy things may help drastically." Damien gave his two cents.
"Last summer my parents sent me to catapult camp, so now I know all about torque, tension, and angles." Priya shared. "Huh, that's great to know." Caleb complimented. "Heh, thank you." Priya blushed a bit.
(Confessional)
Priya- "You know, I never realized how hot and nice Caleb is. He just makes me wanna…ooh."
Caleb- "See? A few nice words and she's already like clay in my hand."
(Confessional End)
"In fact, maybe you should lead us in the challenge today?" Caleb suggested with a smile. "Now hold on, pretty boy! I'm the Team Captain here, and based on the hierarchy I naturally take the lead in challenges." Axel explained.
"And don't bother suggesting Co-Captain…because that's me." Damien puffed out his chest. "Damn right he is!" Axel shouted. "It was just a suggestion." Caleb backed off.
(Confessional)
Caleb- "Okay, integrating myself into this team may take a little work."
(Confessional End)
It cut to Chris and Chef sitting on a tall wooden platform. "Ready…set…START!" Chris blew an airhorn. It first cut over to the Ferocious Trout. "Alright, I'm going first!" Axel ran up to the catapult. "Cool, I'll look busy." Chase said.
"Like, are catapults actually made of cats, bro?" Zee asked, genuinely curious. "Yes Zee, they're made of so many cats that they turned into wood…" Damien sarcastically rolled his eyes.
"...Cool." Zee smiled and nodded. "Hey chica, you said you're great with catapults? Well get over here and work this thing!" Axel ordered. "You got it!" Priya ran over.
(Confessional)
Priya- "I still haven't forgiven Axel for those things she said about my entire existence. But holding grudges like that will only hinder myself in this competition…that's what the Merge is for."
(Confessional End)
It cut to Priya drawing equations and diagrams in the dirt while most of her team was gathered around. "So the angle, distance, and trajectory have to be perfectly in sync. Otherwise things will-" "What's this thing do?" Zee interrupted Priya by pulling the lever, sending Axel flying.
"Zee!" Priya shouted. "And Axel is the first one sent hurtling from the bucket! And lucky for us, it was an accident." Chris announced.
Axel flew threw the air screaming, undershooting the first target and falling into a penalty pit. "Ooh, swing and a miss! Chef, tell her what she's won." Chris turned to Chef.
"Axel has landed in a very crabby crab colony!" Chef exclaimed as it cut to Axel getting pinched by a couple dozen crabs. "Ouch! Gah! Stupid crustaceans!" She angrily cried out.
It cut back over to the Frogs of Death. "Damien get in, I'm getting you over to the third target. "Whoa whoa whoa! I may be more confident, but not THAT confident in things!" Damien shook his head.
"Come on, we need this for the win. You want to prove yourself as the best Co-Captain possible…right?" Caleb asked. "...I know you're coaxing me, but dammit you're right!" Damien reluctantly admitted.
"Don't worry about it, I've made all the necessary calculations. And if I'm right you should soar right in." Priya assured. "What do you mean IF you're right!?" Damien backtracked to being nervous.
(Confessional)
Damien- "If I want to actually get far and not voted out for being a liability, I actually gotta step up. Damien Matthews ain't going down as a cowardly liability!" [Shaking a little]
(Confessional End)
It now cut to the Frogs of Death, where Wayne and Raj were preparing the catapult. "Break the wheel! Break the wheel!" Wayne chanted. "So uh, who's up first?" MK asked. "Come on people, we got a challenge to win!" Bowie clapped his hands.
"Fine, I'll go…" Lauren volunteered. "Here, hold these." She took her glasses off and gave them to Emma, before getting into the catapult. "Ready to get launched?" Raj eagerly asked. "LET'S GET 'ER GOING!" Wayne slammed down the lever and sent Lauren hurtling.
"Ahhh! Ahhh…heehee! WEEEEE!" Lauren began laughing as she flew through the air. And soon she ended up landing in the two thousand point goal, inside were a bunch of mattresses and pillows.
"So dizzy…yet so fulfilled." Lauren commented. It cut back to Wayne and Raj who pumped their hands in the air. "GOAL!" "Yeah, nothing but net!" They both shouted.
It briefly cut up to Chris and Chef on the platform. "And the Frogs of Death are first on the scoreboard, rocketing ahead with two thousand points!" Chris announced as the scoreboard changed to show two thousand to zero.
It cut to Lauren leaving the goal, completely dizzy. "Hehe…but I don't wanna leave my room, Mama…" Lauren woozily said as she walked straight into a penalty pit.
Lauren landed near a few barrels, and looked up to see an angry bull staring at her. "Ooh, I was hoping this would happen! Especially since Scary Girl already looks like a clown." Chris jabbed.
The bull charged at Lauren, and then she proceeded to stand up, put on her "Scary Girl smile", and roar like Godzilla at the bull. The bull was so scared it literally regressed into a calf, like one of those 1930s cartoons.
It cut to Chris and Chef, who were flabbergasted at what just happened. "Uhh…that was unexpected." Chris said. "Please remind me to never get on that girl's bad side." Chef added.
It then cut back over to the Ferocious Trout, where Damien was preparing to get launched. "Remember to tuck on your descent. You've got this, Damien." Priya said before pulling the lever, and Damien's deafening screams being heard.
"AGHHHHHHH!" Damien screamed the whole time, almost high enough to shatter glass. "Man, Damien's got some pipes on him." Chris chuckled.
"Damien, tuck now!" Priya tried shouting at the screaming boy. But he didn't hear and fell straight into the three thousand point goal, a crashing sound being heard. "OOH!" The members of the Ferocious Trout cringed.
(Confessional)
Priya- "And this is why I said to tuck!"
Damien- [trembling] "Don't quit…n-not never quit! I'm a brave boy!"
(Confessional End)
"And the Trouts are ahead of the Frogs by one thousand points!" Chris announced, right before cutting back to the Ferocious Trout, where Wayne and Raj were both sitting in the catapult.
"We're ordering a double-double!" Raj exclaimed. "Double points! Double threat! Double pain!" Wayne intensely added. "Well, don't you two look cozy." Bowie commented. "W-Well I mean…we're teammates." Raj nervously smiled.
"No no no!" Chef's voice shouted from offscreen. "Safety first, boys. One at a time, we learned that the hard way." Chef explained.
It proceeded to cut to the Medical Tent, where two Interns wearing full-body casts were laying. And then Clyde walked in carrying a clipboard. "Boys, I know this may be a bad time…but you're fired." Clyde taped two pink slips to their foreheads.
It cut straight back to Wayne and Raj, where Raj climbed out of the catapult. "You got this, Wayner…but just remember this isn't the rink." Raj tried calming down Wayne's condition.
"A challenge is a challenge, Rajie!" Wayne exclaimed as Emma pulled the lever, and Wayne flew away. "Check it out, I got the sun in my hands!" Wayne posed, looking as if he were holding the sun.
But then he hit an eagle, falling at just the right angle where he fell into the one thousand point goal. "Hey, that bird was offside! But on the brightside, accidental goal!" Raj celebrated.
Wayne excitedly exited the door of the goal. "Woo! I did it I did it!" Wayne clapped his hands and…began doing Emma's victory dance. Emma looked simultaneously flattered, yet super embarrassed at all the looks she was getting.
"And the Ferocious Trout tie things up at three thousand all!" Chris announced. "That…goober." Emma couldn't help but smile as she put her elbow on the catapult's lever…and accidentally sending Raj flying.
"Ooh, that might be…" Chris began. Meanwhile Raj was screaming due to the sudden fling, and ended up falling into the penalty pit behind the three thousand point goal. "Too far!" Chris finished.
"Hey, since you're doing…I'm just gonna come out and say it…HORRIBLY! Maybe someone else should take a turn?" MK suggested. "Okay, it's all yours." Emma offered. "Wait, I didn't mean…" MK tried refusing, but before she knew it she was already in Emma's position.
"Hey is this my team or the other? Oh wait, there you are!" Lauren squinted. "Oh, here you go." Emma handed Lauren her glasses back. And then it cut over to Raj, who was trapped in a pool of some sort of sticky substance.
"Huh? Ugh, I think I landed in barf!" Raj began panicking. "You're very close, Raj. You actually landed in…Tapioca Pudding!" Chris explained. "The evilest pudding of all!" Bowie shuddered. "The only pudding worse than Rice Pudding…" Lauren whispered intensely.
It panned back to Raj struggling in the pit of pudding. "Guys help me! I got a cramp! I can't…I can't keep floating much longer!" Raj cried out, grabbing the attention of Wayne. "Rajie…? Oh no, hang on buddy!" Wayne broke out of his Hockey-itis before starting to run to the pit.
"Quick, put me in the pudding." Bowie got into the catapult. "If by put into the pudding you mean the goal in front of the pudding, then sure thing!" MK said before trying to flip the lever, but it being too sturdy for her noodle arms.
"Come on…flip, damn you!" She struggled. "Just let me!" Emma stepped forward and flipped the lever and sent Bowie flying. He did lots of flips, poses, and other things in the air. "Look, Bowie's gonna make it!" Emma exclaimed.
(Confessional)
Bowie- "You think Priya was the only one who trained for this? Baby, I am mind and body fierce."
(Confessional End)
"And Bowie's going to score another three thousand points for the Frogs!" Chris announced as Bowie did just that. "And Bowie doubles the Frogs of Death's score, extending their chance of victory even further." Chris continued.
"We are so totally sucking right now!" Priya shouted, looking as if she were about to pull her hair out. "To that I agree a thousand percent!" Axel exclaimed, having arrived back. "We need points ASAP, Chase get in the…" Priya trailed off as Chase was nowhere to be found.
"Where'd Chase go?" Priya asked. "Uh, I think he said something about previous engagements…didn't know the guy was married." Zee answered. "Eh, close enough." Priya shrugged.
"To what…?" Zee asked as Caleb picked him up and carried him over to the catapult. "Whoa whoa easy…no need to be so rough." Zee said, protecting a can of soda from spilling.
"Remember to tuck!" Priya exclaimed as she pulled the lever, and Zee flew away. "Ahhhh-haaaa!" Zee screamed, quickly finishing his soda and dropping the can. "Recycle yourself, little can!" Zee called out.
But Zee began quickly losing altitude. "Zee's falling! Why's he falling!?" Priya worriedly exclaimed. "...His prosthetic leg! The metal is weighing him down!" Damien explained.
"And Zee comes up short, falling into a penalty pit before he can even reach the first hole." Chris commented as Zee did just that. Zee sat up in the hole full of crabs that Axel landed in earlier.
"Crabs? Aww, don't take my money, dudes." Zee took another can of soda out of his pocket and cracked it open, the sound waking up the giant mutated crab from Season 4, which emerged from the sand.
"AHHHHH! Super crab!" Zee ran around as the giant crab slowly waddled after him. "Stay back, I'm…I got plenty of raccoon friends!" Zee made a lot of snappy hand gestures to the crab.
But the crab misinterpreted what these gestures were, and returned them by snapping its claws…before gaining a toothy smiles and hearts in its eyes. "Uh-oh…" Zee gulped. "We'll check on Zee later, in the meantime let's- whoa!" Chris was interrupted by Priya getting launched by the catapult.
"WOOOOO!" Priya cheered as she soared through the air, before landing in the three thousand point goal. "And Priya ties things up at six thousand all!" Chris announced, the scoreboard coming up and showing both teams at six thousand points.
(Confessional)
Priya- "I'm not gonna lie, I never thought that catapult camp would ever come in handy. But it once again goes to show that my parents are always right about everything!" [Gives two thumbs up]
(Confessional End) and (Cut to Commercial)
It opened back to Raj struggling in the pit of Tapioca Pudding. "Help, I can't keep this up for much longer!" He desperately shouted. "Hey there…" Bowie said, floating behind Raj in the pudding.
"Bowie! What're you doing here!?" Raj exclaimed. "I'm here to save you, silly." Bowie answered, causing Raj to blush.
"Now come on, we gotta-" But Bowie couldn't finish, as Raj suddenly leaned forward and kissed the other boy, Bowie slowly reciprocating the kiss. And then it panned upwards to show Wayne looking into the pit, looking completely shocked.
(Confessional)
Bowie- [blushing] "Okay…that was interesting."
Raj- "That felt…great."
Wayne- "So I go running over full speed to help my bud and what do I see? Raj kissing Bowie! I couldn't believe it…and yet the signs were there! Aww, I've been so wrapped up in all this Emma and Chase stuff, that I've stopped noticing what's happening with my best friend! Ohh…to heck with my Hockey-itis, my noggin is spinning in circles."
(Confessional End)
It cut back to Bowie and Raj, who broke away from the kiss. "That was…I'm sorry, but I've been thinking about kissing you, and…" Raj nervously said, before getting shushed by Bowie.
"It's okay, let's talk about this after we get out of this pudding pit." Bowie added before pulling Raj by his jersey towards the ladder leading out of the pit.
It cut back over to the Frogs of Death, who were loading Caleb into the catapult. "Okay, if all goes according to plan you should go straight into the two thousand point goal." Axel explained, using Priya's methods.
"Well you're the captain, and I trust your judgement." Caleb smiled, causing Axel to look away, a tad red in the face.
"Just go!" Axel pulled the lever and Caleb soared through the air. "Heh, check this out." Caleb began flexing, posing, and even tore his shirt off while flying through the air.
"Oh wow…" "So…damn…hot…" "Gotta look away, just…look away." "He's got me AND my alter-ego drooling." Axel, Priya, MK, and Lauren/Scary Girl all reacted. But Emma didn't seem to be affected, looking in the direction of Bowie, Raj, and Wayne returning.
It cut back to Caleb, who tuck and rolled straight into the two thousand point goal. "And that stunning performance by Caleb extends the Trout's lead to eight thousand points!" Chris announced, the board showing 8k to 6k.
And then it cut over to the Frogs of Death, who had already loaded MK into the catapult. "Now just imagine you're a bird…a short, lightweight, snarky bird." Lauren said. "Yeah, that was VERY helpful." MK rolled her eyes.
Emma pulled the lever of the catapult and MK was quickly sent hurtling through the air. "GAH!" MK soared at lightning speed, her beanie also flying off her head.
"She's going…she's going." Chris leaned forward in his seat at MK approached the three thousand point goal. "She's still going…still going…" Chef added, as MK passed the goal and crashed somewhere in the forest.
"Ooh!" "Even I felt that!" "...Wait, where am I?" Lauren, Bowie, and Wayne all cringed, Wayne having fully recovered from the effects of his short-lived condition.
It then cut back to Chris and Chef sitting on the platform. "Just about everyone on both teams has gone, and the score is eight thousand for the Trout, and six thousand for the Frogs. Do you know what that means?" Chris turned to Chef.
"We're almost done?" Chef responded. "Nope! Attention campers, it's time for the lightning round! Or as a previous contestant would say, the Sha-Finale!" Chris announced through a megaphone.
"There is now a twelve thousand point goal that just opened up on the complete opposite side of the island. Land in there and it's an insta-win for your team, and we'll also throw in a complimentary awards basket…just a little more incentive." Chris explained.
It briefly cut back to the Frogs. "A new target? But the only person who hasn't gone is…" Emma's eyes widened in terror. And then it panned over to the Trout, where a screaming Chase was being led onscreen by Clyde.
"I found him hiding in the Communal Washrooms, the challenge ain't over until EVERYONE gets a go at the catapult." Clyde shoved Chase towards his team and walked away.
(Confessional)
MK- "Emma and Chase…how climactic."
Emma- "Oh no…I mean…oh God."
Chase- "Okay, I need to conquer my fear, and finally show why I was the dominant one in the relationship!"
(Confessional End)
It first cut to Chase reluctantly entering the catapult. "When I win this for us, you'll all see why I'm a valuable teammate!" Chase exclaimed. "Yeah yeah, actions speak a lot louder than words." Axel had her arms crossed.
It panned over to the Frogs to show that Emma was shivering, and had backed away from the catapult. "Guys I'm sorry, but a target that far…I can't." She lowered her head.
"Can you maybe act cowardly AFTER we win!?" MK exclaimed. "MK's right, you're our last hope. You need to show some spirit, and bring us to the winner's circle!" Bowie tried to be encouraging, only for Emma to keep shivering.
And just then, Wayne slowly stepped forward and placed his hands on Emma's shoulders. "Em…I can tell this ain't about the flight, but about Chase. You still got those nervous feelings…but you're one of the strongest, most sweetest girls on this island. Don't let some arrogant DOUCHEBAG ruin your life!" Wayne shouted.
Emma slowly looked up at the Hockey Bro. "Wayne…you're an idiot…but you've helped so much more than you can imagine." Emma hugged Wayne and stepped forward.
"Alright, let's freaking do this!" Emma shouted with vigor.
(Confessional End)
Bowie- "What…was that? Wayne giving a speech? I guess I gotta give that man some credit."
(Confessional End)
"So the target is worth twelve thousand points and is twelve thousand feet away!" Chris began. "All you have to do is fly through a bit of an electrical storm, as well as keep your altitude steady." Chris finished.
"You got this, girl!" Lauren patted Emma on the back as she climbed into the catapult, to which Wayne and Raj were cranking the wheel as far as physically possible.
And then it panned over to the Ferocious Trout. "As much as I hate putting my faith in Chase of all people, this is the only way we can win this in one shot." Axel said. "And I have the calculations that will guarantee a straight shot." Priya added.
"Hello, kinda waiting in this bucket!" Chase impatiently said. "Fine, you want to try redeeming yourself for everything you've done for the past…sixteen years give or take? Start with winning this challenge." Axel put her hand on the lever.
"Wait, who said anything about redemp-AHHHH!" Chase was interrupted as he got flung. "Hurry, launch me!" Emma exclaimed. "You got it, Em!" Wayne saluted as he pulled the lever, flinging Emma as well.
"I can't watch, tell me what happens." Chef covered his eyes. "And they're off!" Chris exclaimed through his megaphone.
It cut to both Emma and Chase, both flying through the air beside each other. "Well lookie here! Looks like the universe has brought the both of us together once again." Chase smugly taunted.
"Chase, leave me alone, I'm not coming back to you! And i'm also beating you for a second time, the first time was from my body…this time it's out of my mind!" Emma shouted at Chase.
They both continued to fly through the air, Chase looking to be on the edge of fainting the whole time. And then both of them flew into the lightning storm…one of them with higher altitude than the other.
"*gasp* Oh no, Emma's dropping!" Lauren exclaimed. "Ah-ha, of course your tubbiness would weigh you down! I always told you to cut back on just about everything!" Chase kept taunting.
But Emma paused, not at all phased by what Chase said. "A couple of months ago I would've felt guilty after hearing that…but now all I hear is nothing but the ramblings of a fame-hungry boy." Emma reached up, pulled Chase's leg, and elevated herself higher while pulling him down.
"Wait, what!?" Chase shouted. It briefly cut over to Damien. "Umm…that's not how the laws of physics work." He pointed out.
And then it briefly panned to Lauren. "I'm confused as to what just happened…so are the readers no doubt." She broke the 4th wall.
It then cut back to Chase, who was falling fast. "No, wait, get back here!" He angrily shouted, before being struck by lightning, and then crashing into a tree on the way down.
"While Chase uses a tree to break his fall…" Chris began, the shot cutting to Chase crashing into several trees before hitting the ground with a thud. "Emma continues through the storm clouds searching for a victory for the Frogs." Chris finished.
Emma squinted her eyes through the cold, dense clouds. Until she could just barely make out the goal through an opening in the storm. "There it is! Just gotta hope and pray on this one…" Emma tucked and rolled, slowly falling until…
She fell straight into the goal, landing on several mattresses and pillows stacked inside. "Ugh…did I…I did it!" Emma exclaimed.
"The Frogs of Death win the challenge, plus a whole bunch of rewards!" Chef announced. "Woohoo!" All right!" "Go Emma!/Go Emma!" Lauren, Bowie, Wayne, and Raj all celebrated.
Meanwhile, it cut to Zee in the crab pit. Who was being snuggled by the giant hermit crab, and looking very scared. And then a recolor of the Drone of Despair came down and grabbed him, pulling him away from the crab's clutches.
(Confessional)
Zee- "I'm bummed that I had to break that crab dudette's heart…but I'm not ready for a long-term relationship. Especially one with a giant mutant crab with a couple dozen kids…also we lost the challenge, that's kinda bad.
(Confessional End)
It cut to Chris facing the Ferocious Trout (minus Chase). "Ferocious Trout, I'll see you tonight at the campfire. One of you is going home tonight, and no team swaps to save you this time, this is for real!" Chris clarified.
And then he pulled out a megaphone and turned around. "Hurry it up Chase, we don't got all day!" Chris exclaimed, panning over to a battered, electrified, completely rattled Chase.
It cut to later in the day at the Trout cabin. "I lost us the challenge? I only competed at the end, if anything Priya's BS logistics lost it!" Chase argued, everyone gathered in one room.
"That's a very convincing argument, one that we'll consider greatly." Damien made a crude gesture afterwords. "Well, how about the new guy?" Chase accused Caleb.
"Caleb actually did good today, and actually contributed something." Priya defended. "Thanks, you guys. If we're all in agreement, I'm taking a shower." Caleb said as he exited, and revealed Lauren at the door.
"Well look who it is, you do remember that you were voted out?" Chase asked. "I know that…" Lauren responded. "Hey look, you may be a little strange…but I can assure you that me, Axel, and Priya didn't vote for you." Damien assured.
"That's all in the past, I'm just here to grab my bowl." Lauren took the stone bowl that she brought a couple days ago, then promptly left. "Good riddance." Chase huffed.
It then cut to Caleb, who while walking to the Communal Washroom bumped into MK. "Well, if it ain't the guy who got switched to the losing team." MK snarked. "Ha ha, just wait until the next challenge." Caleb rolled his eyes.
"Oh yeah, I bet you all do worse then a steaming plate of blueberry-rhubarb cake." MK laughed as she walked off.
(Confessional)
Caleb- "If there's one person on the team I don't miss, it's definitely that…wait a second, blueberry-rhubarb cake? The only time I've heard those specific words uttered were earlier today…in this Confessional…by me! Some shenanigans are going on, and they involve MK and this Confessional, and I'll find out what.
MK- [Watching the confessions] "Might of gotten too overconfident on that one."
(Confessional End)
It then cut over to an angry Chase leaving the cabin, mumbling to himself. "This whole challenge was stupid...probably gotta rig that box again." Chase grumbled before bumping into someone. "Hey, watch where you're..." Chase looked up to see Wayne staring at him.
"Ah, just the guy I wanted to see..." Wayne was grinning...his Hockey-itis having seemingly returned. Now, Chase having been met with someone stronger than him, faster than him, and pissed off at him. He did the completely logical thing and...
"Beat it, Wayne!" Chase shoved Wayne. "You know, brother...I was hoping you would do that." Wayne cracked his neck, before grabbing Chase by the back of the hoodie and dragging him towards the Frog's cabin.
"Let go of me you psycho! I said let go!" Chase struggled and kicked. And then it cut to the inside of the girl's side of the Frogs of Death's cabin. "And...there." Lauren neatly put the stone bowl by the door.
"Huh, it does sort of bring things together a little more." Emma commented. "Come to my colorful home on Jellybean Row sometime, we have all sorts of little things like this." Lauren extended an invite. "You know what? If things work out well, then...maybe I will." Emma nodded graciously.
And then a huge commotion was heard coming from outside, along with lots of stomping on the wooden porch of the cabin. "What's going on out there?" Emma asked. "Probably some roughhousing from a couple of the guys." Lauren guessed...before the door burst open, revealing Wayne holding Chase.
"What in the name of Mike!?" Lauren screamed. "Wayne? Chase? What's happening!?" Emma also screamed. "Now then...apologize." Wayne held Chase's head up so he was facing Emma. "I...what?" Chase confusingly asked.
"I promised this lovely girl here that by the end of this contest I'd get an apology out of you for all the horrible things you did to her. So you better say it before you get carried off!" Wayne exclaimed. Chase was now looking even more angry, and...slightly fearful.
"I have nothing to...nothing to..." Chase's bravado was quickly crumbling as the scene was now starting to dawn on him. "Okay I...I...I'm sorry! I'm sorry for all those derogatory remarks about your weight, about the "pranks", about almost killing your Mom with that tree stunt, ruining a bunch of your stuff, abusing your attachment issues, and especially about cutting the brakes on your car, almost killing you, and causing you to have to pay like a boatload of cash to the pet store and to fix your car!" Chase apologized, now in tears.
Emma was completely slack-jawed at what she just witnessed, and so was Lauren...moreso the fact it was happening at all. "Good, now scram!" Wayne released Chase and he got out of the cabin, still crying on the way out.
"Ugh...ohh..." Wayne began to once again snap out of his condition, looking around with confusion. "Oh, hey Em...hey Lauren. Do you happen to know why I'm standing in here?" He asked, genuinely confused.
Emma took a second to compose herself, before responding. "Wayne, this may sound weird to you right now...but please keep being you." Emma said, walking out of the cabin to go watch the elimination. "Uhh...okay, I will." Wayne scratched his head. "She's right, you really are something..." Lauren commented.
It cut to the six members of the Ferocious Trout walking towards the fire pit, most looking certain, Caleb looking skeptical, and Chase looking frazzled. It cut to the six arriving and sitting on the tree stumps, Chris and Chef standing there, Chris holding the voting box.
"Trout, welcome to the elimination ceremony. And tonight is a special ceremony for the drama factor." Chris began. "Oh no, is it an actual double-elimination!" Priya exclaimed. "No, but I like your thinking." Chris continued.
"Last night the voting box was broken into, and so we can make things more secure this time…tonight's votes will be VOCAL." Chris announced with a grin. "Uh-oh…" Chase gulped, his eyes shrinking.
"But first…Chef, if you would?" Chris turned to Chef. "Zee, if we didn't get you out of that hole you'd probably be on a date with that crab right now." Chef began.
(Confessional)
Zee- "No offense to the crab, but I don't really plan on settling down for quite a while…I have plans for taking my sweet van where the road takes me and living the Nomad lifestyle, yo."
(Confessional End)
"And Chase…I really don't want to be in your burnt-up shoes right now." Chef finished, earning a scared look from Chase.
"Now, let's start in alphabetical order…Axel." Chris started. "I vote for Chase." Axel answered. "Caleb…" "I also vote for Chase." Caleb said, most likely voting with the numbers. "Chase…" "I vote…Priya." Chase nervously answered.
"Damien…" "Chase a thousand percent." Damien said, smugly looking at Chase who looked petrified. "Priya…" "I obviously vote Chase." Priya glared at Chase. "And finally Zee…" Chris finished.
"Uhh…I guess Chase?" Zee gave the final vote. "Well, that's five votes for Chase, and one vote for Priya. Chase, I think a LOT of fans will be happy to hear me say…you're outta here!" Chris announced.
"I…what…?" Chase was dumbfounded. "YES!" An excited voice that sounded suspiciously like Emma's exclaimed from behind some rocks. "I can't…this isn't supposed to happen! I can't go out like this!" Chase was freaking out.
"You're right…you can go out like this." Chris snapped his fingers, and suddenly several police officers surrounded the fire pit. "What in the hell!?" Axel exclaimed. "Whoa, I didn't do anything officers!" Damien put his hands up.
"Chase Halloway, you are under arrest for the attempted murder and multiple counts of abuse towards Emily Carmichael. As well as numerous counts of trespassing, assault, and the various other things you claimed to be "pranks". Anything you say or do can and will be used against you in a court of law." The Head Officer said as Chase was apprehended and put into handcuffs.
"Wait, you can't do this to me! I'm…I'm rich! I can't be arrested! I'll sue, I'm gonna sue!" Chase shouted as he was dragged away and put on a police boat, it driving away and disappearing over the horizon.
"What just…happened?" Caleb asked, shocked to all hell. "There was an arrest warrant put out on Chase when he openly confessed to cutting Emma's brakes, but I made a deal with the boys in blue to allow him to stay until he was voted out normally…apparently Chase has been on their radar for quite a while." Chris explained.
"Umm…okay." Damien responded, still feeling uncomfortable about seeing someone arrested in such an abrupt manner. "Don't worry, we'll use cgi and sound-alikes to make his elimination look legit. Just like we did with all that Mike and Mal stuff we did in season five." Chris assured.
"Now if you'll all excuse me…" Chris cleared his throat and turned to the camera. "After that thrilling elimination, what more awaits our campers? The only place to find out is right here. On Total…Drama…Island!" Chris exclaimed.
But it briefly cut over to the Frogs cabin, where Emma was walking back as if a massive weight had been lifted. And as she approached the front steps she bumped into Wayne.
"Oh…hey Wayne." Emma's voice was shaky, but the good, happy kind. "Hey Em…I didn't get to say this earlier, but you did so awesome in the challenge today! Everyone was all like "Oh no, she's falling!" but I wasn't panicking because I was like "Nah, that's Emma. She can do anything she wants!" and then you-" But Emma suddenly kissed Wayne on the lips, silencing him.
"Wayne, I would've gone crazy had I not met you…thank you." Emma smiled before walking into the girl's side…Wayne stuttering, and Raj secretly having seen the whole thing, a parallel to earlier that day.
(Confessional)
Raj- [Tearing up] "I got my first kiss today, and Wayne did too!? Oh my God, I'm so proud of my buddy!"
Emma- "Did I just do that!? Oh my gosh I just kissed a guy like it was no big deal. But it was…it was…oh God I like Wayne."
Wayne- [Blushing intensely] "That felt…great."

Author's Note- Post Script
And there was the chapter. It was slightly shorter than the last few, but that's mostly due to all the mentioned rewrites.
So, Chase's elimination. With that the Emma-Chase relationship drama "arc" comes to an end, and Chase got arrested on International TV.
Which fun fact, in an old story of mine "Total Drama Action: 2023 Season", before its cancellation Chase was going to get arrested during his elimination. I have had this idea for years, so I thought "What the hell?" and utilized it here.
Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed the chapter despite all the rewrites. And like I always say, look out for more!
