Chris: "That's right, it's the final season of Total Drama, folks! After Total Drama:Revenge of the Island, I decided to bring everyone's favorite campers back for one more run. This season, thirty-eight veterans and two newbies will be battling it out, not only on Camp Wawanakwa, but at the abandonded film lot and even around the world n my newly-built jumbo jet. This time, the prize is one BILLION dollars. With the stakes raised, the gameplay is raised as well. In this all out brawl, every contestant intends on making it all the way to the final three. With two final additions, things begin to heat up. The gorgeous genius Suki and the villanous Joe both join all our favorites for this last round. Team members begin turning on each other, friendships are pushed to the limit, and an attempt at permanently eliminating someone, if you catch my drift, puts all the contestants into shock. Relationships will end, relationships will form, and betrayal is eminent. At the end, all the contestants, Chef and I will realize we have to stick together, when one of our own takes finding a winner in the finale into his/her own hands which could pull the plug on one of the finalists.

Chapter 1: Welcome Back to Wawanakwa- Part 1
The fifth season of Total Drama, folks! Three months after the completion of the fourth season, Chris decided to renew Total Drama for one final season. This big bang season would take place not only at good ole Camp Wawanakwa, but also around the world and even back at the abandoned film lot. The prize? One. Billion. Dollars. A giant expensive yacht pulls up to Camp Wawanakwa, which has a fresh coat of snow covering the island. Chris McLean, the "host with the most" is the first person to step off the yacht. He stands on the beloved Dock of Shame, and stands waiting for all the other contestants to load. It took him a while to track them all down. Ezekiel, now normal again, had slunk away to his farm, and Eva definitely did not want to be found. However, with Chris being Chris, he managed to round up all thirty-eight old contestants, and even two new contestants that would push all the veterans to their limit. "Welcome to Total...Drama...Explosion!" Chris cheers with his hands in the air, "This season, Chef and I will be pushing all of our favorite contestants to their limits, even adding two new players to the mix!" Chris, wearing a large jacket, paused and shivered. "Yes, this time around it will take place in the winter!" Chris explained. "Alright, let's meet our players."

The first contestants to step off the boat were the contestants who competed in not one, not two, but three seasons. Chris introduced them as they step off the yacht. Owen, DJ, Heather, Gwen, Bridgette, Leshawna, Harold, Duncan, Lindsay, Courtney and Izzy all waved to the camera as they walked off. Gwen whispered a comment to Bridgette and Leshawna and all three laughed and shot a look at Chris. Chris looked at them warily, and looked back at the yacht.

"Alright, those are our mega players, next up are some more returning favorites who didn't get a chance at all three seasons, but...just two...Noah, Tyler, Justin, Beth, Trent, Cody, and Ezekiel!" The contestants stepped out as Chris said their names, like before.

"I can't believe you convinced me to come back here," said Noah in an exasperated voice.

"I agree, this show did nothing but harm my beautiful facial features," agreed Justin.

"Oh, stop complaining," replied Gwen, "You only competed in two of these seasons, I was stuck in all three!" Leshawna, Heather, Bridgette, and Duncan, who were all standing behind her, nodded in agreement. Justin looked away, angry, as Chris began to introduce the next contestants. "Alright, next up are the contestants who only got to compete in one season, so they have some experience under their belt, but compared to the others, not a lot. First, our Total Drama World Tour additions Alejandro, Sierra, and Blaineley!" said Chris. The three stepped off the boat. Sierra's hair had grown back, and Alejandro was no longer a robot. Blaineley was finally out of her full body cast.

"Wait, WHAT?" exclaimed Heather angrily. "Blaineley is back? She's, like, one hundred years old!"

"Deal with it, sister," replied Blaineley with a smirk, "Not only am I competing this season, but I am in it to win it!"

Chris glared at Blaineley, remembering her remark about him back at her elimination in China. "Well, next up are Katie, Sadie, and Eva!" exclaimed Chris. Katie and Sadie squealed as they ran down the ship's ramp and onto the dock.

"It's SO great to see everyone!" said Katie excitedly.

"So, so great!" followed Sadie.

"Great, tweedle dumb and tweedle dumber are back in the game," said Duncan.

"Hey, that's like, so mean," replied Katie.

"So, so mean!" followed Sadie.

"But that's ok, because we are like, super excited to be back for another season!" replied Katie. The two began squealing.

Chris covered his ears as he began to announce the next contestants. "Alright these contestants also only got one season under their belt, they are our Season Four competitors! Anne Maria, Zoey, Dawn, Mike, B, Cameron, Sam, Dakota, Jo, Staci, Scott, Lightning and Brick!" said Chris. The thirteen Total Drama: Revenge of the Island contestants stepped off the yacht as Chris said their name, like all the previous contestants. "Great, I get to do this... again." said Scott. "As if once wasn't enough in one lifetime." Scott had recovered from his injuries in the previous season.

"Hey, at least we get to meet all the veterans!" exclaimed Zoey, excited.

"Yeah, woopity doo." replied Scott while rolling his eyes.

"Man, I miss when you were a robot and couldn't talk," replied Lightning.

The contestants began walking to the cabin area before Chris interrupted them. "Stop!" yelled Chris. "Hello, where do you all think you are going?"

"Uh, don't we go put our stuff down?" asked Duncan, fists clenched.

"No. One, you don't even know your teams, and two, we haven't introduced all of the contestants." said Chris.

Harold stepped out in front of the crowd. "36… 37… 38..." Harold counted, "No, that's everyone."

"Mr. Know-it-All, there are new contestants this season. They were in hidden rooms on the yacht!" said Chris. There was a collective gasp throughout the contestants.

"Great, more newbies." said Heather sarcastically.

"Eeh, Katie, we can make even more friends!" squealed Sadie. Katie squealed in response.

"Hush!" said Chris, which quieted the squealing girls. "First, we have the quiet Suki, who has silently slid through life, until finally she stepped up to join you all for your last run," continued Chris. A medium-sized, gorgeous, asian girl walked off the ship. "Suki may be silent, but she has a few secrets up her sleeve, and I will leave those for you all to discover!" said Chris. Suki appeared among the other contestants without saying a word, startling many of them.

"Hi everyone." she said shyly, waving at all the contestants staring at her.

"Hi nice to meet you!" says Heather, with her "nice girl" face on. "Us Asian girls have to stick together, right?" Leshawna pushed Heather out of the way.

"Yeah, you don't want to get in that business." said Leshawna, wrapping her arm around Suki.

"Yeah, I've seen Total Drama before, don't worry." said Suki, as she warily looked at all the players. The contestants looked nervous.

Duncan (CONF):These newbies have such an advantage! They have watched all of our past gameplay. They know our every move. Chris is just trying to make it as hard as he can and he is going to get it!

"Next is our villain! That's right, he is not even trying to hide it a little bit. He is athletic, brilliant, and very persuading, Joe!" said Chris. Joe walked down the ramp, looking extremely confident. He did not say a word to any of the other players, as if he knew he is going to beat all of them and they did not deserve his words. Alejandro, Scott and Heather all immediately glared at Joe.

Alejandro (CONF): Another villain? Having to deal with Heather was enough in the third season, now not only do I have Heather, but also the newb antagonist Scott, and then ANOTHER one? Ai, Ai, Ai.

Heather (CONF): Hmph, that guy thinks he is all that. He can bring it.

"Alright, so the teams will be determined simply." said Chris. "I will choose them to keep things spicy!" The contestants groaned. "Alright, If I say your name please walk to my left... Alejandro, B, Bridgette, Cameron, Courtney, Dawn, DJ, Duncan, Gwen, Harold, Heather, Joe, Katie, Leshawna, Lightning, Lindsay, Scott, Staci, Trent, and Zoey!" The contestants who were called all slowly walked to Chris's left, staring each other down. Scott and Heather were locked in a glare, and so were Duncan and Trent.

Gwen (CONF): Seriously Chris? Putting me on a team with Duncan AND Trent? I thought Duncan was the one for me, but I don't know, and us all being together definitely is not helping! And Courtney being on our team is definitely NOT going to help...and Heather... really... like, really...*blows hair out of her face*

Zoey (CONF): B-But what about Mike? That means "Vito" and Anne Maria are on the same team... this is horrible!

Geoff (CONF): *wailing* Bridgette! She is on team one with that jerk Alejandro, what am I going to do!

"I name your team, the Fiery Phoenixes!" says Chris. He then points to his right. "You all are team two, or should I say, the Frozen Foxes!" Both teams didn't seem too upset with the team names.

Beth (CONF): Better than being called a Grip.

Anne Maria (CONF): or a Maggot.

Scott (CONF): or a Rat.

"Alright, so your first challenge will be to get all the way to the top of the cliff!" began Chris. "That's right, it's the opposite of the very first challenge of Total Drama." The contestants groaned, and began the climb, starting what was to become the most intense season of Total Drama... ever.

To Be Continued...

Chapter 2: Welcome Back to Wawanakwa- Part 2
"Last time on Total, Drama Explosion!" began Chris, "The forty contestants were re-aquainted with their favorite place on the entire planet, Camp Wawanakwa! Our two new contestants already stirred up some drama with our favorite villains Alejandro and Heather, and two teams of twenty were formed, man we have a lot of players this time. These contestants need to be ready to bring it for the first challenge of many, if they want a chance to be the ultimate camper and come out on top in Total...Drama...Explosion!"

The first scene showed the giant cliff looming over the bunch of nervous contestants.

Bridgette (CONF): I can't believe Chris is making us climb up the cliff, I mean jumping off wasn't too bad but climbing up?

Anne Maria (CONF): That's it, now that Chris raised the stakes I gots to get my head in the game! And if Red thinks she is going to swoop in and take my Vito, she has another thing coming

"Alright teams you ready for your first challenge?" said Chris, earning some glares, "But a twist, like in the first challenge, you can choose not to take the climb and wear a chicken hat. Also, if you fall off the cliff and into the water you are out of the challenge! The team with the most successful climbers will make it to the top...and GO!" The contestants began sprinting towards the wall, well two of them did. Jo and Eva were determined to carry the Foxes all the way to the top.

"Can you Maggots get a move on?!" yelled Jo at her team, as she began climbing the wall.

"Yeah, you don't want to make me angry, You wouldn't like me when I'm angry" followed up Eva. Jo shot a brief glare at Eva.

"I'm leading this team soldier, and don't you think for a second otherwise" replied Jo angrily.

"Hmm sorry I don't seem to see your captain's arm band butt-less" replied Eva.

"Guys stop fighting!" yelled Beth from below, beginning her climb. Others began slowly moving towards the cliff as well. Noah began slowly climbing up the cliff, however his lack of arm strength did not play in his favor. Heather and Gwen began climbing too and were head to head with each other, glaring the whole way. Noah saw no one else climbing from his team and got an idea.

"Hey, this would be easy for world class gymnast champion…" started Noah.

"Svetlana!!" replied Mike (Svetlana). Mike as Svetlana began bounding up the cliff.

Noah (CONF): I saw Cameron use that trick last season, gotta take what you can get

"Hey that's my thing!" said Cameron, also struggling with his climb. Joe was busy antagonizing the other Phoenixes. "Hello, why do I only see three teammates climbing? They have four already on their way up!" said Joe angrily.

"I don't see you climbing twinkle toes," replied Duncan.

"I am not someone you want to mess with you wannabe punk rocker," said Joe, "Having a face full of metal doesn't make you cool." Promptly after this was said, Duncan lunged at him and tackled him to the ground. Duncan rose smirking, and began climbing up the cliff.

Joe (CONF): Hey whatever works. These losers think they know this game, just because they have played before. Well I have gotten to watch the whole thing, they know nothing. One by one they will fall, and one by one I will get closer to claiming the prize that is rightfully mine.

In the meantime, Anne Maria decided to begin the climb, as did Bridgette. They began equal, but Bridgette quickly out-climbed Anne Maria. By this point, Jo and Eva had both reached the top. Heather and Gwen reached it right after they did.

"Take that foxes" cheered Heather, "look likes the phoenixes are going to fly right past you. V-I-C-T-O-R-Y."

"More like B-I-T-C…" started Jo.

"Hey none of that," said Beth, just reaching the top. Mike as Svetlana was not far behind. When Zoey saw Anne Maria climbing and Mike at the top, she was inspired to begin the climb as well.

Zoey (CONF): I do not want Ms. "Poof" up there alone with Vít- I mean Mike. I do believe Mike has gained control of the personalities...Really I do! *nervous chuckle*

The rest of the contestants were still debating whether or not they wanted to climb, when the giant cockroach from back in the fourth season returned. This freaked out Leshawna and Lindsay, so Lindsay quickly jumped on Leshawna's back, and Leshawna began to climb frantically up the cliff. "Hello friend!" said Dawn, stroking the cockroach's head. It motioned for her to get on its’ back, and it began taking her up the cliff.

"That can't be legal!" said Alejandro, beginning his climb. Courtney followed. Jo and Eva were hollering at the top of the cliff when they realized a lot more Phoenixes were climbing than Foxes. So far there were four Foxes at the top (Eva, Jo, Beth, and Mike) and two Phoenixes (Gwen and Heather). Bridgette, now far ahead of Anne Maria, was close to the top.

"Come on surfer girl, I don't see you rocking this challenge like you did in the first season" said Eva with a glare, "traitor." She then kicked a rock over the side of the cliff, causing Bridgette to lose her grip.

"Bridgette!" yelled Gwen, reaching down to try and grab her hand. She missed it barely and Bridgette fell into the water below, eliminating her from the challenge. Heather turned to Eva, who was being high-fived by Jo.

"Seriously psycho chick, you need to check into anger rehab soon before the crazy police come and catch you in one of those giant nets" said Heather. This prompted an angry Eva to charge at Heather, but when trying to punch her she accidentally hit Mike. This turned Mike into Vito, and with perfect timing, Anne Maria arrived at the top.

"Vito baby!" said Anne Maria.

Anne Maria (CONF): I'm so glad my Vito is back in the game! Mike may have gotten some control over those little characters of his, but Vito loves me too much to stay down *swoons*

"With five Foxes, and only two Phoenixes done with the climb, odds aren't looking good for the Phoenixes- Wait! I spoke too soon" said Chris. A stream of Phoenixes all began arriving at the top. First up was Duncan, followed by Joe, Leshawna, Lindsay, Dawn, Alejandro, Courtney, and Zoey. This meant there were now ten Phoenixes as opposed to the Fox's six.

"Almost...there" said Noah, breathing heavily. He then lost his grip slightly and began falling to the bottom, "Ahhhhhhhh!!!"

Noah (CONF): *soaking wet* Perfect

"Alright well no one else seems to be climbing, so I am only giving fifteen more minutes until this challenge is officially over!" announced Chris. Izzy, out of no where, began charging towards the cliff climbing and screaming. She bounded up the cliff and was up to the top in about a minute. The remaining contestants on the ground stood there gaping.

Scott (CONF): Alright well she has got to go

Cameron (CONF): Its's times like these where I miss my bubble *shivers*

"Now that Lightning has let the others have their shot, it's Lightning time. Sha-CLIMB!" said Lightning, as he began up the cliff. Others began slowly following him. Time began counting down, as Lightning, Scott, DJ Katie, Sadie, Dakota, Trent, Tyler, Cody and Geoff all started their climb. The contestants standing at the top of the cliff were looking over nervously.

"Woo! First place! Sha-LIGHTNING!" said Lightning cheering as he reached the top.

"Uh, I'm not good at math, but he got here after like sixteen people," said Lindsay, "I'm confused, how did he get first?"

"He didn't braniac" replied Gwen, "he just has an ego the size of Eva's thighs."

"Excuse me?" said Lightning, "Last time I checked creepy girl 2.0 we are on the same team!"

Lightning (CONF): The nerve of some people!

"Hmph, whatever" replied Gwen. Next to arrive at the top were DJ and Katie. DJ got to the top first. Just as Katie was climbing over the side, she slipped. DJ was the closest to her, so he dove and caught her hand. Sadie arrived right after the two, and also slipped, but DJ and Katie were too busy looking at each other to notice.

"T-Thanks DJ!" said Katie blushing.

Katie (CONF): *jumping up and down* Eeh DJ is so cute!

Sadie (CONF): *soaking wet* Great, just great

"DONE!" yelled Chris through his bullhorn, ending the challenge before anyone else could get to the top, "Looks like the Phoenixes flew WAY above the Foxes in this challenge. Foxes, I will be seeing you all at elimination!." Eva and Jo yelled in frustration.

"My team is absolutely useless!" cried Eva.

"Ha, I actually agree thunder thighs" said Jo.

The scene then switched to the contestants eating dinner in the mess hall, and the Frozen Foxes were discussing who to eliminate.

"I wish my Great-Great-Great Uncle Martin was here," said Staci, with her tray in hand, "He invented elimination." She then walked over to sit with her fellow Phoenix's. The Foxes sat there trying to figure out what she had said, when Jo finally spoke up.

"Alright, I think we should eliminate that bag full of crazy Izzy, I mean, look at her" she said, pointing at Izzy. Izzy's tongue was wrapped around her head and she was laughing hysterically about it.

"No not Izzy!" intervened Owen, "She's so sweet and will definitely be helpful later in the game!"

"Team before relationships chubbo," replied Jo.

"Well if your so intent on the team, why don't you eliminate someone who actually doesn't help, like Ezekiel?" replied Blaineley. Tyler and Sadie nodded in agreement.



Blaineley (CONF): I got this game in the bag, these losers aren't going to know what hit them. World Tour was just a warm up, just to get a feel for the tension between the contestants

"Yeah, and like, Ezekiel is like really sexist" agreed Sadie.

"I don't know, I feel bad for the little dude," said Geoff, "I mean, he was a monster for a while because he got eliminated.

"Yeah, why me homie?" said Ezekiel, glaring at Owen.

In a shy voice, Suki suddenly spoke up. "I don't know, I think whatever keeps our unit strong will be for the best." said Suki. The contestants all looked at her, shocked that she finally spoke.

Justin (CONF):´This girl is not letting on how smart she is. I like that, I like that a lot.

Over at the Phoenixes table, they were laughing and having a good time, well most of them. "Guys, we need to stay focused on the game" said Joe angry, "Were not here to be friendly."

"Well sugar, you should just be happy you are here for another three days." said Leshawna, "If you keep acting like this and we lose, your sorry butt is out of here."

"Yeah, for once, I agree with loud and proud," replied Heather. Joe looked annoyed and slunk away.

Joe (CONF): I am on a team, full of idiots. Do they not realize this is a competition?

Night fell on Wawanakwa, and snow began gently falling. The fire lit the campfire grounds, and the Foxes were sitting there anxiously. The light of the fire exxagurated the fear the contestants had. Chris arrived with his plate of marshmallows, the first of the season. "One of you will not survive tonight's elimination," began Chris, "and unlike previous seasons, the eliminated camper truly won't return to the camp...ever." The contestants gasped.

"Tonight, I have nineteen marshmallows on this plate. These marshmallows once again represent your safety in this game. The first of these marshmallows goes to...Sierra." said Chris.

"Eeh!" said Sierra, as Chris tossed her the marshmallow. She turned to Cody grinning and pointing at the marshmallow, in return Cody smiled.

"The next three safe are Anne Maria, Mike/Vito/Whoever you are, and Geoff." said Chris.

"Yeah dude!" said Geoff happily, eating his marshmallow happily. Anne Maria hugged Mike causing him to look confused, but then smiled after realizing he was safe for another three days.

"Owen...Blaineley... Brick... Beth..." said Chris, "You four may enjoy the delight that is safety."

"Woohoo!" said Owen, high fiving Blaineley and farting happily.

"Good to know you losers know who's helpful around here!" said Blaineley, brushing herself off.

"Thank you all very kindly," said Brick, saluting his team.

"Also safe is newbie Suki!" said Chris. A smile formed on Suki's face as she silently caught the marshmallow.

"The following are also safe, Eva, Sadie, Sam, Dakota, Noah, Tyler, Cody, and Jo." said Chris. Eva and Jo both sighed in relief, and then quickly glared at each other. Sam hugged Dakota, who at first looked grossed out but then smiled, and Sadie squealed. Noah and Cody high-fived, and Tyler tried to join the high-five but missed and fell on his face. This caused Sadie and Dakota to chuckle at Tyler. "Out of you three who all received votes, the one that is avoiding the bottom two is Justin," said Chris. Justin looked angry as he caught his marshmallow.

Justin (CONF): Someone voted for me? Oh they are so going down. Anyone who tries to harm the beautiful pays the price

"Only one of you is safe tonight" said Chris. Ezekiel and Izzy both looked extremely nervous. "The last marshmallow on this plate is going to…

"Sorry dude, you are out first….again…." said Chris.

"We will miss you!" said Sadie, waving.

"You knobs, well at least I get to hang at that awesome resort, eh?" said Ezekiel. Chris nodded, and Ezekiel walked down the dock to the Boat of Losers. The scene zoomed out of the campfire, ending the first episode of Total Drama's final season.

Chapter 3: Capture the Mascot
"Last time, on Total, Drama, Explosion!" began Chris, "Our favorite thirty-eight veterans were brought back along with two newbies, Joe and Suki, and were split into two teams, the Fiery Phoenixes, and the Frozen Foxes! Our contestants had a fun first challenge, well, fun for me to watch, in which the Phoenixes burned down the competition after the Foxes all got annoyed at Eva and Jo. Despite this, it was Ezekiel who got the boot for not being a useful person to have on the team. Shocker right? This time our contestants will be pitted against each other in an intense game of capture the masco- I mean flag. Who will win? Who will lose? Will Scott ever grow a heart? Find out on Total...Drama...Explosion!"

The contestants were sleeping soundly when Chris did his thing and blew the ever-popular wake up horn. In the Phoenixes cabin, the boys were not amused.

"Ah I'm so tired of Chris!" said Harold, yawning, "Don't you agree B?"

B nodded in return.

"I mean, it's so irritating, what did you think of him last season?" follwed up Harold.

B shrugged in response.

"Uh...Well did you like the other contestants that you competed with?" replied Harold.

B shrugged again.

"Alrighty then..." said Harold, backing away.

Harold (CONF): .....Uh?

Duncan came up and put his hand on Harold's shoulder. "Aren't you glad were teammates again buddy?" said Duncan grinning.

"Uh...no" replied Harold.

"Well you should be, I have a proposal" said Duncan, leading Harold out the cabin door.

Duncan (CONF): Do I like Harold? Meh, so-so, but an alliance is an alliance

Scott and Joe were whispering about Duncan. "He has got to go" said Scott. Joe nodded in agreement.

Joe (CONF): The key is to let Scott think he's in control, then blindside him. Easy.

At breakfast, the contestants were eating when a giant bird swooped in through the ceiling, and a fox came sprinting through the doors. Both halted and turned to look at the open front door. Chris walked in with a big grin on his face. "Hello contestants, It's time for today's challenge. Each of you will have to protect your own mascot, while attempting to capture the other team's mascot! The island is divided in half. The side with the Dock of Shame, the cliff, and the beach is Phoenix territory, the side with most of the woods and the cabins is Fox territory. If you get tagged in the other team's territory then you are out and cannot be saved! Ready.......Go!" said Chris.

"Let's move!" said Jo, fox in hand and sprinting out the cabin. The Foxes were following her, and Sierra did not look amused at Jo's orders.

Sierra (CONF): Ok, Jo thinks she knows what shes doing but I'm the one who knows everything there is to know about Total Drama.

Sierra scoops Cody up over her shoulder. "There you go best friend, I wouldn't want you to have to run on those tiny legs of yours" she said. Cody looked embarressed, and Noah looked on a little bit sad.

Noah (CONF): What is the deal with Serra and Cody. I mean, not like I care

"Let's hurry guys!" said Alejandro to his fellow Phoenixes. B had managed to secure the bird, and they began sprinting out to the campfire grounds.

"Alright, I propose we split into offense and defense" said Courtney.

"Who gave you the crown your highness?" said Duncan, rolling his eyes.

"No it's a good idea Courtney!" said Gwen, earning herself a glare.

Gwen (CONF): Ok, I try to support her and she still glares at me! What am I supposed to do!

"Gwen is being sincere" said Dawn, "Really, I can tell by her aura." Courtney looked at her with a worried face.

"Uh...alright..." replied Courtney, "So anyways, on offense we will need some athletes, so Bridgette, Katie, Heather, Lightning, DJ, Alejandro, Scott, and myself will be on offense." The eight nodded in agreement.

"Gwen, I'm leaving you in charge of team defense with B, Cameron, Dawn, Duncan, Harold, Joe, Leshawna, Lindsay, Staci, and Trent." said Courtney.

Gwen (CONF): She's giving me the position of being in charge! Wow maybe we really are becoming friends again

Courtney (CONF): I only gave her that position so if she loses we can blame her and vote her off. It's all strategy.

Joe (CONF): *chuckles* I can't WAIT to watch goth girl fail and get the boot. That's an easy threat gone.

Back at the Foxes in the woods, Jo and Brick were leading the Foxes further into the woods.

"Were lost. Great job," said Noah, rolling his eyes.

"Look scrawny, just cause Man-lady and Brick house are leading us into the depths of the unknown, doesn't mean you have to be all negative" said Anne Maria, spraying her hair. Noah glared in return.

"Ok, let's just chill out" said Geoff, "We will split into teams. I will lead Sierra, Tyler, Mike, Beth, Eva, Dakota, Jo, and Brick on team offense. As much as I hate to say this, Blaineley, you lead Anne Maria, Cody, Izzy, Justin, Sam, Noah, Owen, Sadie, and Suki on defense. We have to focus on defense if we want to win dudes! We can do this!" Geoff rose a fist in the air, and the fellow Foxes did too, all but Jo.

Jo (CONF): I am captain of this team, if happy-go-lucky thinks he can just come in with his charm he's got another thing coming.

A montage followed of both offensive teams sneaking into the other team's territories. The camera then zoomed over to the Phoenix's offense. "Alright let's go" said Courtney, whispering to her teammates, "I think I see Sadie over there." Katie began to squeal but Lightning quickly put his hand over her mouth.

"Are you crazy girl?" said Lightning, "Don't you dare blow the challenge for us!"

Katie (CONF): Lightning is like, so right, I have to focus

Lightning (CONF): *facepalm*

On the offensive Foxes team, Geoff was slowly urging his team forward when they come to a split in the path. "Alright dudes, I say we go right to the campfire grounds, that's probably where they are," whispered Geoff.

"No, they are definitely left. The cliff is a much better defensive area than the campfire grounds" replied Jo with a hushed voice.

"Uh well I d-" began Geoff.

"Look muscles, I am captain of this team, and I say we go left," said Jo, walking down the left path. The Foxes began following her.

Sierra (CONF): This is what I mean, I mean, I don't remember holding captain elections and if we did she would definitely NOT have won

"Is anyone else worried we haven't seen anyone yet?" said Cameron, biting his nails. The Phoenixes were sitting on the logs of the campfire ceremony, and Dawn was holding the bird and petting it.

"I'm sure they are planning a sneak attack," said Harold.

"I have an idea, Why don't we form a circle around the bird all facing out? That way they can't get to it?" said Trent. They all began forming a circle around the bird.

"Good idea Trent!" said Gwen. Trent blushed, and Duncan growled at Trent. Joe had an annoyed look on his face.

Joe (CONF): How am I supposed to take out goth chick with wanna-be pop sensation giving out good ideas? He has got to go to. The list just keeps growing

"So like, what do we do now?" said Lindsay.

"We just sit here, and enjoy the breeze," said Trent cooly. The contestants faces slowly shifted from relaxtion to paranoia.

Over at the Foxes camp, the defensive team was not getting along well.

"Look sister, Geoff left me in charge, ME! Not you! So keep your bad ideas and your hair spray to yourself," said Blaineley angrily to Anne Maria.

"It's not a bad idea grandma. Foxes enjoy fake tan, and some camoflauge would help us win and protect Foxy D here," replied Anne Maria.

"I have an id-" began Suki, causing both Blaineley and Anne Maria to turn and growl at her, "Nevermind."

"I don't see why you have to fight, I'm sure we will win this challenge," said Owen happily. This also caused Anne Maria and Blaineley to growl, but this time at him.

"EEEEEEEEH IT'S KATIE!" yelled Sadie, spotting Katie in the distance. This alarmed the fox and caused it to sprint out of Sam's hands and towards the Phoenixes.

"Go go go!" yelled Courtney, prompting the entire offensive team to sprint towards the fox.

"I got it!" said Bridgette, scooping up the Fox in her hands. They turned around and began to sprint away with the Foxes in hot pursuit. The Phoenixes were sprinting away, as Bridgette tripped and the Fox got free.

"Quick grab it!" yelled Heather.

Blaineley quickly came over and tagged Bridgette, eliminating her from the challenge. "That's revenge sister," said Blaineley.

"For what?!" replied Bridgette, but she was too late, as Blaineley had already begun sprinting after the other Phoenixes. She managed to also tag DJ and Scott.

"Crap!" said Scott, kicking the dirt.

Scott (CONF): After my strategy last season I am so tired of losing. This is not what Pappy would have wanted. But I have a team full of threats so I guess I could still play this to my advantage...

Alejandro charmed the fox into jumping into his arms.

"Yes! Good work!" said Heather. He turned to look at her and she blushed. Justin and Izzy managed to tag Courtney and Katie, as Alejandro and Heather sprinted away with the fox. They both arrived at the mess hall, fox in hand.

"And the winners are...the Fiery Phoenixes!!" said Chris.

"Crap!" said Blaineley, picking up a chair and throwing it into the wall.

Owen (CONF): And I thought Eva was the psycho angry chick. At least Blaineley likes me...well at least I think...*farts*

"I will see the Frozen Foxes at elimination!" said Chris, this time not only to the campers in the mess hall but also over the intercom.

At dinner, the Foxes are discussing who to eliminate.

"Err I think it has got to be Sadie, she cost us the challenge" said Sam.

"No, I know who it should be" said Sierra, "Her". She scowled and pointed at Jo.

"What? What did I do?" said Jo defensively.

"You lead the offensive team all the way up the cliff! And the Phoenixes were at the campfire grounds just like Geoff said." replied Sierra.

Sierra (CONF): She thinks she knows what she is doing, but she is going down!

The contestants sitting at the Foxes table looked split. Over at the Phoenixes table they are celebrating their victory.

"Thanks for leaving me in charge Courtney, that was actually...really cool of you." said Gwen with a smile.

"Uh...thanks!" said Courtney rubbing the back of her head, "any time!"

Courtney (CONF): Ok maybe I feel a little guilty, but goth girl deserves it for being a boyfriend stealer

"Did you know my great-great-great-great-great twice removed Uncle Eugene invented leadership? Uh-huh, before him, everyone just scrambled around everywhere going AHH" said Staci, throwing her hands in the air. This caused all the Phoenixes to laugh and temporarily broke the tension that was cursing their team. "What's so funny?" said Staci confused. This caused all the Phoenixes to freeze and look at Staci confused.

Lightning (CONF): Sha-Crazy!

Zoey looked down as the others began talking.

"What's wrong Zoey," said Dawn in her sweet voice.

"I just, I want to make more friends, but I can't stop worrying about Mike and Anne Maria being on a team together." said Zoey.

"I'm sure Mike will keep Vito contained," said Dawn.

"Yeah!" said an eavesdropping Cameron, "Mike likes you a lot Zoey, you don't have to worry."

"Thanks guys," said Zoey with a faint smile. At the elimination ceremony, all the Foxes were looking nervous as ever. The contestants were shivering in the cold of the night, and all of them were covered in a combination of snow and dirt from the trudge to the elimination grounds.

"Alright, time for the results!" began Chris, "You have all voted and one of you will be taking the dock of shame and will never come compete in a Total Drama game ever again...ever." The contestants looked around at each other worried. Owen put his arm around Izzy for comfort, and she looked hesitant at first but put her arm around him as well.

"And the first marshmallow of the night goes to...Geoff." said Chris. Geoff happily caught his marshmallow.

"Alright!" said Geoff, fist in the air.

"The next one goes to Suki," said Chris, tossing her a marshmallow.

"Thank you guys," said Suki shyly, nibbling on her marshmallow.

"The next safe are, Izzy, Beth, Anne Maria, Mike, Tyler, Owen, Cody and Noah!" said Chris. He tossed out marshmallows to all of them, and all but Noah caught theirs. They all cheered happily.

"Wooohooooo!" said Izzy, "Three more days of Izzy-time!"

Izzy got up and hugged Owen, causing him to smile with glee. Noah glanced over at Cody with a smile and Cody smiled in return.

"A place at the table!" said Tyler, putting his arms around Noah and Cody happily.

"Alright, and now marshmallows for Brick, Justin, Blaineley, and Sam" said Chris.

"Woo, level up!" yelled Sam.

"Affirmative," said Brick with a smile. Right after Justin caught his marshmallow he glared at Sadie. In the meantime, Blaineley was glaring at Jo.

"The next too safe are Dakota and Eva," said Chris, tossing them their marshmallows.

"You all are lucky!" said Eva angrily.

"Yay!" cheered Dakota.

"And the person escaping the bottom two is...Sierra!" said Chris, tossing her a marshmallow.

"Smiley face!" said Sierra, catching her marshmallow.

"One of you two is going to be eliminated," said Chris. Jo looked steaming angry and Sadie was crossing her fingers.

"The person who is receiving this last marshmallow, and is safe for another three days is...

......................................Jo!" said Chris. Jo calmed down and caught her marshmallow. Sadie looked really said and without saying anything ran crying down the dock of shame.

"Good thing you guys didn't eliminate me, or some heads would have rolled," said Jo.

"Will Jo ever forgive her team? Will we ever find out Suki's secret? Will Joe end up ruling the island? Will Anne Maria ever let go of her hair spray? These questions answered and more next time on Total...Drama...Revenge of the Island!" said Chris

Chapter 4: Don't Be Afraid of the Dark
"Last time on Total Drama Explosion!" began Chris, "The contestants competed in a capture the flag challenge, but instead of flags they used their deadly mascots. Haha, Fun right? Both Jo and Joe seem to be butting heads with everyone, and although Gwen is trying to bury the hatchet with Courtney, Courtney still holds a grudge against her for stealing her boyfriend. In the end, Sadie cost the team the challenge after seeing Katie and squealing causing their mascot to run away, and this lead her to being the second voted off the final season of Total Drama. This time, the contestants will be pushed to their limits in another fear challenge. Who will win? Who will lose? Find out right here on Total...Drama...Explosion!!"

Theme Song plays

The camera panned to all the contestants in their cabins, sleeping peacefully. Until Chris blew his beloved air horn of course. The contestants screamed and ran out of their cabins.

"Leshawna don't do early" said Leshawna, "If you don't stop with the air horn you ain't gonna like it."

"I agree with home-girl gone horrid," said Heather, earning a glare from Leshawna.

"I thought we were friends?" said Leshawna.

"Do friends jump off of platforms and sacrifice challenges just to beat the living crap out of eachother? No, didn't think so," said Heather, remembering their time back in the Alps.

"Quiet you," said Chris, "So you all are familiar with the show not as popular as ours, Fear Factor, correct?" Most of the contestants nodded.

"Well basically, you are going to have to face your fears again...but you thought the first time was bad." said Chris.

"Ha, good thing I got over my fear of flying right guys?" said Owen, laughing nervously.

"Oh, just you wait." said Chris, "So we will take this a couple at a time, first up on our list...our buddy Owen!" Owen looked extremely nervous.

"Your challenge is that you aren't allowed to eat...for the rest of the night," Chris said with an evil laugh.

"WHAT?" said Owen, "No eating, b-but I can't survive! Did you missed what happened back in Total Drama Action?"

"No, it was hilarious, but you are going to have to survive. You will be watched the whole challenge by Chef, and if you eat one thing, you will be out of the challenge." said Chris, "Moving on, Cameron, you have a very special date, one with Izzy, the giant spider."

Izzy began clapping her hands happily, and Cameron looked terrified.

Cameron (CONF): I-Izzy? But what if she kills me! And she's going to be dressed as the spider?!

"And Trent, you enjoy Mime parties right? Where there is not one, but seven mimes copying your every move? And their make-up is water-resistant. All you have to do is stay at the party for ten minutes," said Chris.

Trent (CONF): Crap

Trent was lead into a cabin full of mimes. "You have ten minutes to do this bro, don't mess up!" yelled Chris into the cabin. The rest of the contestants looked worried, since the first three fear challenges were so harsh.

"Alright next up on my list is...Bridgette! I'm pretty sure you have a date with the lonely woods. You must stay in there for six hours." said Chris.

"What? How is that any harder?" said Eva, still holding a grudge against the surfer chick.

"Why is this harder you ask? Well two reasons, one it is in the middle of the night, and two the island still maintains some of its' radioactive charm, so survival chances are slim" said Chris, "So Bridgette, have fun!"

"Uhh Awesome!" said Bridgette nervously.

Bridgette (CONF): I am so terrified. Chris is such a jerk

Bridgette started to walk into the woods. She froze as she was about to enter and turned around. She shot Geoff a look of worry, which was returned with a look of pity. The two smiled at eachother and Bridgette turned back around and walked into the woods.

"Well we have four challenges in the works! This is fun right?" said Chris, "So this time, we won't give Courtney all the pressure, she will get to go now like everyone else!"

"Oh...great!" said Courtney with fake enthusiasm.

"So you have a green jelly hot tub waiting for you, oh and warning, some of the green jelly mutated so there might be a green jelly mutant in there," said Chris. He lead the remaining contestants to a giant pool of green jelly. "Here is your stop!" said Chris.

Courtney looked horrified, when Alejandro came up and put a hand on her shoulder.

"You can do it chika! You are much stronger than a gelatanous desert." said Alejandro. Courtney smiled and slowly slipped into the green jelly.

"My great-great Aunt Matilda invented green jello," said Staci.

"You have ten minutes, starting now!" said Chris, ignoring Staci's interruption.

Alejandro (CONF): I plan on not losing a challenge until the merge. I couldn't let Courtney cause us a loss and then be sent home! I need my allies. And I also love to see Heather's reactions to when I flirt with Courtney

Heather (CONF): What?! I thought Alejandro's little "fling" with Courtney was over? Like...not that I care...but like...GAHH

"Alright, we currently have five challenges going! Think that's enough for now?" asked Chris. The contestants all nodded their heads yes. "Good, I didn't think it was enough either!" said Chris in devious voice. He pulls out a clipboard and goes down the list. "Alright, next up for us is...Eva! Your challenge? You must be followed around by paparazzi without going crazy the rest of the challenge" said Chris. Eva began steaming.

Eva (CONF): Ok, so I wasn't scared about the challenge until now, I mean what do I have to fear. Maybe my anger goes a bit too far sometimes

A horde of paparazzi appeared and followed Eva off into the distance. She was screaming and running.

"Where are my paparazzi?" asked Dakota, "After my poor treatement last season I should at least get some of the action! If you don't remember I was a monster, a real Godzilla-esque monster, it took forever for that to wear off!"

"Actually Dakota, that brings me to your challenge. You must stay isolated in the cabins for five hours, with no interaction with anyone. No paparazzi, not even other contestants." said Chris smiling evilly.

Dakota (CONF): Nooooooooooooooo

The challenges began going downhill, as two ended as Trent ran out of the cabin screaming, followed by Courtney who climbed out of the pool shivering and covered in green jelly. The two were panting with their hands on their knees, when Chris walked up.

"Disappointed, thought you two would do better. That is so far zero out of two for the Phoenixes!" said Chris. Courtney growled and Trent looked disappointed.

"GRAWR" said Eva off in the distance. She was chasing the terrified horde of paparazzi with a giant log swung above her head like a battle gladiator. The contestants all stared at her with fear-filled eyes.

"Alright then, looks like Eva loses too!" said Chris.

"What? No way!" said Eva.

"Well you are attacking the paparazzi...with a giant log...so yeah..."said Chris. Eva glared at him and walked over to the "already-went" bench, with a soaked Courtney and trembling Trent.

"Alright that's three losers so far...and we've only started seven challenges...dissapointed." said Chris, "Let's see how Cameron's date is going!" The scene shifted over to the Mess Hall, where Cameron and Izzy were chatting away about spiders. It turns out that was a common interest between the two.

"Oh my gosh I know!" said Izzy, "Tarantulas are soo overrated."

"I agree!" said Cameron, "Ever since you got me over my fear of spiders, I learned to love them, but tarantulas are way more hyped then they should be."

"Alright, well looks like point for the Pheonixes!!" said Chris. The Phoenixes still standing with Chris cheered.

"While Bridgette chills in the woods, Owen starves, and Dakota experiences the horrors of loneliness, we will get this show on the road. Brick, if you can make it ten minutes in the pitch black of night by yourself, you will get a point for the Foxes, understood?" said Chris. Brick gulped and saluted at him.

"Yes sir!" he said, walking into the woods.

Brick (CONF): Dark? The dark? Again? *a sprinkling noise is heard*

"And also let's take a shot at our newbs," said Chris, turning over to look at Suki and Joe. "Suki, your biggest fear? Being put on the spot. So you will be delivering a speech about one person on the island! And...go!"

"Uh...um..." started Suki, "so Chris McLean, he is fantastic and effervescent and the best host reality TV could ask for. His brilliance shines through the challenges and his magnanimous attitude lifts the melancholy spirit of the island."

The rest of the cast looked at her gaping.

Noah (CONF): Ok, Suki used some words that even I don't know

Joe (CONF): So new girl can speak. She's intelligent too. Looks like she is added to my list

The Foxes started cheering and high-fiving Suki while Chris wiped a tear from his eye.

"That was brilliant, really, fantastic," said Chris, "You weren't as scared as I thought you would be, but hey, you rocked it. Point Foxes!" While Chris pondered the next challenge, the scene shfiter to Bridgette sitting alone in the woods.

"Come on Bridge, you got this, the only reason you failed the first time was Cody," she said, trying to reassure herself. She heard a growl behind her and turned around. A mutated bear with three eyes and spikes growing out of its' back was standing behind her looking down at her.

"...Alright, slow and steady. I just need to stay in the-" she began, before the bear went ballistic," Ahhhh!!!!" Bridgette began sprinting towards the cabins, knocking Brick over in the process prompting a scream from Brick.

"Ahh!" he said, as he saw the bear, and the two ran out of the woods, where Chris was looking over his clipboard.

"I was wondering how that was going," said Chris, "Bridgette, Brick, you both fail." Brick walked over to sit with Suki and Eva on the "already-went" bench, while the shaken-up Bridgette goes to join Cameron, Courtney and Trent. In the meantime, Dakota and Owen weren't doing any better.

"Why me!" said Dakota, "I don't deserve this lonliness, where is Sam?!" She pulled out her favorite perfume, strawberry scented, and spritzed it on.

"I-Is that strawberry?" said Owen to himself from outside the cabin, the worn out, starving boy slowly made his way up the stairs to the front door of the cabin, and before Dakota could stop him he busted open the door.

"Noo! All that alone time for nothing!" said Dakota angrily, "Owen!" But Owen couldn't hear her, he had gone into his "hunger hulk" phase, he barged back out the door and towards the mess hall, where he began eating everything in sight.

"Wow...just wow," said Chris, "looks like Dakota and Owen also both lose." Four interns drag Owen over to the bench, and Dakota walks over as well. "So far only Cameron and Suki have scored points. Next on my list of rejects is Lindsay, I believe you have a make-over waiting." He gestured over to Chef who was standing there with a pair of scissors and an evil smirk. Lindsay began backing away but Heather pushed her forward.

"Come on Lindsiot, take one for the team," said Heather angrily. Chef took a step towards her and she bolted for the woods.

"Alrighty then, no point there, next up is Scott, who needs to face his fear, Fang." said Chris.

Scott went pale at the sound of the name, he collected himself and stepped forward.

"You just have to hug him," said Chris. Fang stood there teeth bared with an evil look on his face.

Scott stepped forward, but Fang made a growl and Scott turned around and made a run for it.

"You all are such-" Chris began before his phone rang.

"What? Hm? What do you mean there is no time to finish the challenge? So what if it's just 22 minutes? Mmhm. Fine" said Chris, talking on the phone with the producers. "Apparently, I don't have enough time to scare the living crap out of all of you so...the Frozen Foxes win!" he said.

"What?" said Courtney angrily, "We were tied 1-1!"

"Yes, that you are, but you, Scott, Lindsay, Trent and Bridgette all didn't complete your challenge. For the other team, the only ones to fail were Eva, Brick, Dakota and Owen." said Chris.

"That's because we had more challenges!" said Courtney.

"You are going to have to deal," said Chris, "have fun at your first elimination!"

At dinner, the Phoenixes were all discussing who to eliminate. Well, more like listening to Lightning rant.

"...and just when Lightning thought Lightning was not on a team of losers," said Lightning.

"You didn't even have to try and face your fears," said Courtney, pulling a glob of jelly out of her ear.

"That's cause Lightning is scared of nothing!" said Lightning confidently.

"That's not what your aura says," said Dawn, appearing next to Lightning.

Lightning (CONF): Sha-creepy

"I say we eliminate Scott," said Zoey, "no offense but you are kind of mean."

"I didn't see you competing in today's challenge little miss perfect," retorted Scott angrily.

"Fine, who do you think should be eliminated then," replied Leshawna.

"Obvious choice, a big threat that can be done without, B," said Scott.This prompted B to spit out his food.

B (CONF): *angrily shakes head*

"No!" said Dawn, sticking up for her friend, "you are the traitor, the liar, it should be you who goes. Alejandro, Joe, and Heather are enough, we don't need more negative aura on this island." Dawn and Scott locked in a glare.

"Guys, we don't want to begin a losing streak," said Bridgette, "and if we fight like this then we will."

"Good point Bridgette," said Gwen, putting her hand on her shoulder.

"No, I think that was a good point Bridgette," said Courtney, putting her hand on Bridgette's other shoulder while glaring at Gwen. The two also locked on a glare, with Bridgette stuck in the middle.

"My great-great Uncle Marshall invented glaring. Before that, if you were mad at someone you had to just punch them in the face. How do you think boxing was invented" said Staci matter-of-factly.

Scott (CONF): Alright, I need to save my butt

"Staci, your lies are getting really irritating," said Scott.

"Lies?" said Staci, looking confused.

"You can't think that we believe all of what you say is true," said Trent. Scott smirked at his result.

At the elimination ceremony, the Phoenixes sat there nervously, particularly Staci. Dawn was still glaring at Scott, and Duncan and Gwen were holding hands prompting Courtney to try and unsuccesfully cuddle up with Trent. This earned her a smirk from Gwen and a look of terror from Trent. Bridgette shook her head in disappointment.

"Alright Phoenixes, your first loss. Let's see who is safe and who is gone! The first marshmallow of the evening goes to Lindsay!" said Chris. Lindsay stood up, walked over to the campfire pit and grabbed her marshmallow.

"Eeh!" she said, as she went to stand beside Chris, "This is so awesome."

"The next safe are Katie, Trent, and Harold!" said Chris.

"To no surprise," said Harold. Katie and Trent high-fived causing DJ to have a worried look on his face.

"DJ! You are also safe buddy, as are Cameron, Alejandro and Zoey." said Chris. Zoey hugged Cameron and both went to receive their marshmallows, as did DJ and Alejandro.

"Next are Dawn, Duncan, Heather, Leshawna, Gwen and Lightning." said Chris. The six cheered as they walked up to get their marshmallow. Duncan grabbed Gwen's hand and Leshawna came over and gave Harold a big hug.

"Bridgette, Courtney, and Joe." said Chris. Bridgette and Courtney smiled at eachother and walked up, and Joe looked angry.

Joe (CONF): No one better have voted me, if they did they are going down

Cameron (CONF): I hope Joe doesn't realize I voted for him. He is meaner than Jo and Scott put together! I would never let him in my bubble

"Now you three all racked up a lot of votes," said Chris to Staci, B, and Scott, "and one of you is going home tonight. But that person is not.............Scott." Scott let out a sigh of relief, and he smirked at Dawn as he walked up to get his marshmallow.

"Staci, B, I hate to inform you that one of you will be eliminated tonight," said Chris, "and the final marshmallow of the evening goes to...

"Bye bye Beverly" said Scott, waving.

Scott (CONF): Even I didn't see that coming. It must have been due to Heather or Joe. But if those two think they can out-villain me they are wrong, because you think I was bad last year? That was nothing, this time I am showing them whose really boss. Chris thinks he can just bully me with Fang? Well he has got another thing coming, everyone does

Chapter 5: Return of the Film Lot
"Last time on Total...Drama...Explosion!" began Chris, "38 competitors remained in our phobia challenge. We had some success, but lots of hilarious failures. In the end, the producers wanted me to end the challenge due to each episode having to be a 'certain length', so the Frozen Foxes were deemed the winners...finally! The Phoenixes had to boot someone, and although it looked like Staci was getting the boot, it was Beverly who ended up being the third loser in our final season. This time, a whole new twist will be introduced, adding to the epic-ness that makes this the best season, ever! Stay tuned, on Total...Drama...Explosion!"

Theme Song Plays

"Why are we on this nasty bus?" asked Dakota, finding a sweaty sock attached to her back.

"That is the question," said Heather. She made a grossed out face at the sight of the sock.

"I think it's obvious. He's going to take us downtown to an abanonded ware house and just kill us," said Izzy, "Like in Murder-house Four, when the psychotic reality show host tricked the contstants into following him to the beach before they were viciously murdered." She began chuckling. "Ahh good movie."

"Uh huh, my great-great grandfather invented warehouses, before that people just had to store things in the woods." said Staci.

"No way! But yeah, I saw in my horoscope something bad would happen today," said Izzy, pulling a finger across her throat and making a cutting noise.

Courtney (CONF): Alright, I see why compulisive liar chick was voted out first last time, but how did Izzy make it so far in the first season? I'm starting to wish the plane had finished the job back in season 3

"Well if Chris has any suprrises, he is going to have to deal with me personally," said Duncan. Bridgette pointed out in the distance that she saw something familiar. It was the abandoned film lot.

Joe (CONF): Things just got interesting

The bus pulled up and standing there was none other than Chris McLean.

"Welcome contestants!" said Chris.

"Are we switching sets?" asked Suki in a quiet voice.

"Well Ms. 'shy'," said Chris, putting air quotes around shy, "Yes and no. This season, we are having a rotation. To get the best of all the seasons, every three challenges we will switch locations. That means..."

"Three island, three movie set, and three world!" said Beth.

"Correct!" said Chris, "But interrupt me again and a certain nerd will not be making it to the first travel phase! As I was saying, every three challenges, we will change the theme, and the cycle will go on. Island, Movie Set, World, Island, Movie Set, etc..."

"Wow, what a great idea," said Noah sarcastically. He rolled his eyes as Chris glared at him.

Justin (CONF): I don't want to be back here! This cursed place almost wrecked my looks. It was so bad I was almost...*gulp*...ugly

Bridgette (CONF): Being back here makes me appreciate the fact that Geoff and I are on different teams. I can't get distracted this time.

"So today, our movie genre is...Adventure!" said Chris. He tossed swords to all the contestants and lead them to the a giant fake mountain.

"How did we not notice this before?" said Harold.

"This looks just like the mountain course in Mario Kart Swii!!" said Sam.

"I love that game!" said Harold, high-fiving Sam.

"Great, because one nerd wasn't enough." said Duncan.

"Alright, so your guys goal is to get to the treasure somewhere deep insid- I mean on the mountain. There will be lots of obstacles along the way so don't expect this to be easy." said Chris.

"What's with the swords?" said Duncan.

"Oh you will see," said Chris.

"My great-great-great-great-great uncle twice removed invented seeing, before that, people just bumped into eachother all the time and went like this," said Staci, sticking out her arms and waddling around.

Sierra (CONF): Ok, so maybe I am not a fan of all the Total Drama contestants...

"And...go!" said Chris. The contestants all ran towards the mountain set and began their trek up. The path quickly came to a split.

"Come on team, we are going left," said Joe.

"Who put you in charge?" asked Zoey defensively.

"Listen Red, you guys need someone who can keep you organized. Type A Crazy, Scott, Heather and Ale-whatever all aren't up for the job, you need someone with a brain," said Joe. This prompted the rest of his team to glare at him.

The Frozen Foxes chose right and began running down the path past the arguing Phoenixes.

"Guys, I think we should like, go right. I mean remember what happened in the Amazon? If they are wrong at least were both wrong," said Katie.

"Who knew you actually had a brain!" said Joe, "I thought Sadie had that. But no we are going left, because they are ahead." Katie began crying at the thought of Sadie, because she had been previously eliminated, and Courtney put her hand on Katie's shoulder to comfort him.

Trent (CONF): This guy is a jerk

Cameron (CONF): I feel like some higher being just threw together Scott and Jo and Joe was the result

Leshawna (CONF): If this jerk thinks he can treat us this way, he is going to be the first to go next vote

The Phoenixes began running to the left, and in the meantime, the Foxes came across their first obstacle. There was a large gap in the set, with a vine.

"Alright, we will have to swing across," said Jo, grabbing the vine, "I will take the lead." She took the vine and swung across the open gap. She tossed the vine back to Eva who also swung across.

"Hmph you call that a swing?" said Jo with a smirk.

"You know what you Sue Sylvester wannabe? I am not someone you want to mess with so lay off," said Eva fuming. One by one the contestants all swung across. When Tyler stepped up to the vine and swung across, the vine broke and he fell through the set to the ground below. Beth and Izzy both hadnt't swung yet, and looked at each other worriedly.

"Tyler, no!" said Noah and Geoff in unison. The two ran to the side and looked over to see Tyler being dragged away by an unknown source.

"What are we going to do?" said Cody.

"It's ok Cody, I'll comfort you," said Sierra running up and pulling Cody into a tight hug. Cody looked up.

"Sorry, this isn't really best friend behavior," said Sierra. She loosened her grip, causing a slight smile to form across Cody's face.

"What about us?" said Beth, standing with Izzy.

"We are NOT leaving them behind," said Brick.

"We can't stay, the Phoenixes are on the move as we speak," said Blaineley.

"They are people, we gotta respect that and help em out," said Anne Maria.

"We're leaving and that is final," said Jo, and the team reluctantly continued running. In the distance, the Foxes heard Beth and Izzy scream.

"We gotta go see if they are ok!" said Mike. Brick nodded in agreement and the two ran back to Beth and Izzy gone.

Mike gasped and became Manatoba Smith at the site of his missing friends. He ran back to his team.

"Come on Sheilas, we gotta get a move on. Some oogity boogity's out there are out to get our teamies, we gotta get on the move," said Mike in his Austrlian accent.

"...What's with him?" said Eva.

"You get used to it," said Jo. The Phoenixes were not having much more luck.

"Uh I told you guys, I like don't think this is the right way," said Katie. Lindsay nodded in agreement.

"Uh-huh, yeah, I mean this color scheme is all off, that green definitely does not go with that brown, so we can't be going the right way!" said Lindsay. Courtney face-palmed at the blonde's remark.

Courtney (CONF): You know, maybe this could work for me...if we lose, and everyone aims their votes at Lindsay, I could persuay enough people to blindside Gwen!

Gwen (CONF): I am so glad Courtney and I are beginning to be friends again

As they continued, they came across a steep downward hill. They began trekking down the hill when Lightning stepped on a switch hidden in the ground. Behind the Phoenixes, a giant boulder dropped down and began rolling down after them. The Phoenixes began sprinting down the hill.

"Uh-uh, Lightning don't do rocks," said Lightning.

The contestants were sprinting down the hill, when Dawn saw that Joe was about to intentionally trip Leshawna.

"Leshawna, look out!" said Dawn, speeding up and tackling Joe.

Dawn (CONF): And I thought Scott had a bad aura. I have had enough of these traitors!

The two stumbled on the ground and got caught in a rut on the path. The two were about to be crushed by the boulder. The Phoenixes heads turned, their friends were about to be crushed by the giant rock. Their eyes widened, and they lost site of the path. This caused Staci, who was in the back, to trip and stumble over the rest of the contestants. They all tumbled to the bottom of the hill. A ramp suddenly rose out of the hill and the rock shot off into the distance. The contestants stood up and brushed themselves off.

"Oh that's it, scrawny evil wannabe is gonna get it," said Leshwana, pushing her sleeves up. She turned around to march up the hill, but Joe and Dawn were nowhere to be found.

"Dawn? Dawn?!" yelled Zoey, running up the hill. The other Phoenixes minus Heather, Scott, and Courtney followed.

"We need to get going!" said Scott, "I'm tired of being on the losing team."

"It was your fault!" said Cameron in retaliation.

"I agree with ginger over there, she is creepy anyways and he is annoying," said Heather snobishly.

"There's nothing we can do guys, they are dead, we are just going to have to accept that and move on," said Courtney. The other contestants turned to her gaping.

"What! I only said what everyone else was thinking," said Courtney. The Phoenixes reluctantly continued down the path. The two paths merged and led to the entrance of a temple. The Phoenixes and Foxes arrived at the same time.

"Great, we lost our lead, good going guys!" said Jo.

"Hey uggo, this is a team we are all responsible," said Blaineley, glaring at Jo.

"Well what do we do now?" said Sierra, walking up to the temple door.

"Hey look, something is written on the wall!" said Gwen, running up and dusting off the wall next to the door.

''"To open the temple and claim the treasures, you will have to go through extreme measures, Pick your three strongest players and one you can spare, and the door will open so you can go in there." ''said Gwen.

"Who can we spare?" said Manitoba Smith, "Fattie over there isn't much of a help." He pointed at Owen.

"Hey! I am very helpful!" said Owen,.

"I agree with Mike," said Jo, "As for strongest, myself, Geoff, and Sierra will go," she said. The three nodded heads and stepped forward.

"Hello? Have we all forgotten that I won season one?" said Owen.

"That was lucky chubs," replied Jo. Owen turned and sadly walked towards the temple door.

"Well it's obvious who is to spare on our team," said Scott, pointing at Staci.

"What?! My Great-Great-Great Aunt Tallulah invented temples! Uh-uh," said Staci.

"No way!" said Lindsay, "That is so cool!".

"Too bad, you are our one who we can spare," said Scott, "as for strongest, let's pick some people who haven't really contirbuted to the cause yet, DJ, Zoey and Duncan, you three are going in.

"What? Me?" said Zoey.

Zoey (CONF): I got picked! As a strong player! This is so exciting, I love having friends

DJ and Duncan fist bumped. The eight chosen stepped forward, and the temple door opened. After they entered, the door shut behind them and closed.

"Alright, now what?" said Jo impatiently.

"Cool it girl, we don't want to anger any temple spirits in here," said DJ. He started shivering.

"Look, a sign!" said Geoff, pointing in the distance. The sign stood between two pedastals.

"Put those you wish to spare on the platform, and see how the path ahead will transform" read Geoff. Staci and Owen stood on their respective platforms, and the floor under them dropped and they dissapeared screaming. The path ahead, that was previously blocked by a landslide, was suddenly clear.

"Alright...that was creepy," said Duncan.

"Let's move!" said Jo, grabbing Sierra and Geoff and beginning down the path.

"Yeah guys we have to go!" said Zoey. They ran down the path and came across the treasure room. In the middle of the room stood another sign.

"''For the treasure to be revealed, you must compete and do not yield, otherwise the one you chose will soon be filled with saddened woes. The one you spared will not appreciate, for that is who the loser eliminates." ''read Zoey.

"So that means were all safe!" said Sierra. The six began cheering.

"Poor Owen though," said DJ. Suddenly, platforms began sticking out of the walls of the treasure room all the way to the top where the immunity treasure lied.

"I guess that means we compete to get the treasure, and either Staci or Owen will be eliminated based off of who doesn't get it." said Sierra.

"Genius," said Jo sarcastically, "now let's move!" The six started bounding up the platforms. Jo and DJ immediately took the lead for each team, with Zoey, Sierra, Duncan, and Geoff close behind. They jumped from platform to platform. They were getting pretty high up when Geoff slipped. The only other person on the platform was Duncan.

"Help me bro!" said Geoff, "I'm going to fall!"

"You know, if we were on the same team maybe, but..." said Duncan.

"I can't believe you!" said Zoey, turning around and jumping back to the platform Geoff was hanging off of. She ran over and helped him up.

"Wow...that was not cool bro," said Geoff.

"Hey, some of you people seem to forget this is a competition," said Duncan. This prompted Zoey to shoot him a dirty look.

"Hey, it's not like when you went crazy you wouldn't have left Cameron in a hearttbeat," he continued.

Duncan (CONF): Ok so maybe I feel a little bad about not helping Geoff, but hey, it's a game, there is a winner

Jo managed to reach the treasure first, once DJ began to slow down due to his fear of heights. Jo grabbed the treasure, winning another challenge for the foxes. "Woohoo!" cheered Jo, waving the treasure in the air. Suddenly, the temple set began crumbling and the six made a run for it. The scene the flashed to the Gilded Chris ceremony.

"So what happened to Dawn, Joe, Izzy, and Beth?" said Bridgette.

"Oh there was a trap door that Dawn and Joe fell down, and Chef kidnapped Izzy and Beth," replied Chris.

"Ok now that's just cruel," said Heather.

"Well, I'm not sure if DJ, Duncan and Zoey conveyed this to you yet, but the one you chose to spare is the one not receiving a Gilded Chris tonight! That's right, Staci is eliminated!" said Chris.

"B-but...I..." began Staci.

"Walk of shame for you!" said Chris, grinning evilly. Staci sighed as Chef threw her into the Lam-o-sine.

"That's four competitors down, a ton more to go! What will be next week's movie genre? Will Zoey forgive Duncan for almost letting Geoff fall? Will Cody ever actually love Sierra? All good questions, that probably won't be answered next time on Total...Drama...Explosion!!!!!!" said Chris.

Chapter 6: Puzzle it Up
*Note: this chapter is to be written by my assistant writer Jax as a test*

"Last time on Total Drama Explosion," began Chris, "Our remaining contestants moved to cycle two out of three, the film lot. They had to face an adventure set challenge, where they continuously lost players throughout the challenge. It was shown that Zoey's grudge against Scott holds strong, and the classic competitors got a look at Manitoba Smith, one of Mike's multiple personalities. Joe and Scott both are gaining lots of enemies. Will they survive long enough to even be classified as villains? Will Owen forgive his team for calling him weak? Will Suki ever speak? You can maybe find this out in this episode of Total...Drama...Explosion!"

Theme Song

The campers were seen eating in the mess hall after the theme song ended. Zoey was seen glaring at Scott on the Fiery Phoenixes’ table. DJ, Dawn, and Gwen were all talking and laughing together. A butterfly landed on Dawn’s shoulder and she greeted it. Her facial expression suddenly went from laughing to troubled. “What’s wrong?” asked DJ.

“The butterfly told me that great danger will come to one of you! I don’t want one of my dearest friends to have to endure anything negative!” said Dawn.

“Uh..hey, don’t worry about it. I mean, what would a butterfly know, anyways?” challenged Gwen.

“You would be surprised...” trailed Dawn, worried. A cockroach scrambled across the floor as a transition to the Frozen Foxes’ table.

“Alright, Foxes! There’s one way to win this game, and that’s to play hard, and play dirty! We did a good job of that the past two challenges, and we are going to keep our streak going,” commanded Jo, standing on the table.

"I disagree, Ma'am. The only way to win this game is with integrity and honor. It’s not worth winning if you don't do it right!” said Brick, standing up.

“Yeah wrong. Sit down,” said Jo.

“You are not the leader of this team,” argued Brick.

“Excuse me, General Wet-pants?” retorted Jo. The team began to laugh, and Brick took his seat in humiliation.

“No, Brick’s like...right!” said Dakota, standing up. Brick smiled in approval. “It’s clear that I’m the leader of this team!” Brick’s smile turned to a scowl.

Suki looked like she was about to say something, but before she could, Geoff stood up and said, “C’mon guys! We don’t need a leader. The best team is, y’know, a team. I say we hold a team party in order to get to know each other better.”

“Parties are lame,” said Eva.

“It’s cool. Just an idea,” said Geoff, taking his seat again. At this, Chris made his entrance to the mess hall. “Welcome to day two of the film lot, suckers—I mean, contestants.” he said.

“I like cherry suckers!” said Lindsay.

“Right. Well, meet me at the puzzle movie film lot in 15 minutes, starting…now!” said Chris, looking at his

watch and then driving away.

“Lightnin’s gonna be the first one there!” said Lightning, running out of the mess hall.

“Oh, no, he won’t.” said Eva and Jo at the same time. They glared at each other and followed Lightning out of the mess hall. There was then a cutaway to the puzzle movie lot. Chris was standing by himself. He checked his watch and looked up.

“What’s taking them so long?!” Chris wondered aloud. At this moment, a cloud could be seen in the distance, coming towards Chris. When Chris realized the cloud was Eva, Jo, and Lightning in a footrace. He began to run too, but it was too late, Chris got run over.

“Yes! Lightnin’ wins! Sha-booyah!” said Lightning in triumph.

“No way, I won!” yelled Eva.

“It was clearly me. You two were miles behind!” said Jo. They began squabbling until Chris broke them up. The other campers slowly filed in until everybody had arrived.

Joe (CONF): Eva, Jo, and Lightning are all too obsessed with each other and their own physical abilities to even think about the game. This is good. I can exploit that.

Joe walked up to Lightning and pulled him aside. “Listen, Lightning,” said Joe in an innocent voice. “I’ve seen you fighting against Eva and Jo a lot lately, and I always think it’s so unfair to see two against one.”

“Lightnin’ can handle it! He can take anything!” said Lightning.

“I’m sure you can, but wouldn’t it be nice to have an ally?” said Joe.

“Lightnin’ can TAKE it! Did you hear him? Lightnin’ doesn’t need NOBODY,” said Lightning, pushing Joe aside and walking away. Scott was spying on the two the whole time.

Scott (CONF): Crash. And. Burn. (laughs)

“Alright contestants! Ready for your challenge? Good! Today, as you know, will be a puzzle movie theme. Similar to “Outception” or “Sherlock Bones”. Your challenge is a scavenger hunt! Each team will get a list of ten items they need to find around the film lot. At the end, you will use all of your pieces of evidence---items on the scavenger hunt list---to determine the criminal. And yes, the criminal IS one of the contestants! Get going, this challenge starts now!” said Chris. He gave a list to each team.

“Hmm…let’s split up into pairs. Zoey with Trent, Scott with Lindsay, Lightning with Leshawana, Katie with Joe, Harold with Heather, Gwen with Duncan, Dawn with DJ, me and Cameron, and Alejandro with Bridgette,” said Courtney.

“That’s only nine pairs,” said Zoey.

“Well, Cameron and I can take two,” said Courtney. “Let’s go! We are not losing to these stupid foxes again”

In the meantime, the Frozen Foxes were not getting along as well.

“Every man for himself!”

“Buddy system!”

“Throw the challenge! It’s too harrrrrrrd!”

“Let Lightnin’ take it all!”

“FOXES!” yelled Jo. Everybody stopped talking. “Remember what I said at the mess hall. Play hard, and play dirty. Break!”

“Ugh. I don’t do scavenger hunts,” said Dakota.

“It’s pretty easy, princess,” said Noah.

“You think I’m a princess?! Thank you thank you thank you!!” said Dakota. “In fact that reminds me, I think I’ll call the paparazzi right now!” She pulled out her cell phone and called Celebrity Manhunt. Afterwards, she ran off happily.

“Did somebody say paparazzi?” said Justin. Geoff pointed in the direction Dakota ran off, and Justin followed. Dakota was shown posing for the paparazzi. Justin arrived, pushed her out of the way, and started posing. The paparazzi started to take pictures of him. He removed his shirt and poured water down himself.

Dakota (CONF): Are you kidding me?! Those are my paparazzi! NOBODY takes my paparazzi. NOBODY. (growls)

Dakota tried to turn the attention back to her, but they were more interested in Justin. Humiliated, she stormed away. She pulled Cody, Mike, and Owen aside while they were looking for items on the scavenger hunt list. She posed before telling them what she was there for. “Listen. As you all know, I am the beautiful and photogenic Dakota, made for beauty and goddess of the camera. I’m giving you three boys a BIG opportunity. How would you like to…wait for it…be in an ALLIANCE with the star of the show?!”

“I don't see Justin?” said Owen.

Owen (CONF): Okay, it slipped.

“No, you tub of lard! It’s ME!” Dakota growled.

“Hey, I’m in!” said Cody.

Cody (CONF): Since CLEARLY the flirting and the I’d-do-anything-for-you didn’t work with Gwen, my new plan is to get with Dakota and make her jealous….then get her when she’s tender! (chuckles) I am SO good with girls. I just hope it doesn't end in Sierra murdering Dakota

“Sure, I’ll do it,” said Mike.

Mike (CONF): I miss Zoey

“Alright! First alliance of the season!” said Owen.

“Good! Your first order of business is to get everyone to eliminate Justin,” said Dakota. The guys looked at each other warily. There was then a cutaway to a montage of everybody finding their pieces of evidence. Afterwards, each team only had to find one last piece: a fingerprint. Everybody was turning the film lot upside-down looking for it.

“C’mon, it’s gotta be here somewhere,” said Blaineley.

“Great observation,” said Noah sarcastically. Dakota pulled Owen aside.

“How’s mission take out the hottie going?” she asked.

“Great! Between me, Cody, and Mike, we have half the team against Justin,” said Owen.

“Good, good. My paparazzi will be back to me soon enough,” Dakota said. The camera then showed Dawn and DJ looking together.

“I’m still worried about what that butterfly told me,” said Dawn.

“Maybe he’s just joking around. What’s the worst that could happen? Butterflies aren’t fortune tellers!”said DJ.

“Oh, but they are! Once, when I was in second grade, I—“ said Dawn, before she was interrupted by a cry from the other team.

“Guys! Guys! I found the fingerprint!” yelled Izzy. “C’mon, let’s get it!” The Frozen Foxes ran to get the last piece of evidence.

“Come on! Now the other team is ahead! This is, like, SO unfair,” said Katie.

“Pick it up, men!” said Brick, looking under a couch cushion. Trent picked up his guitar to play a song, when he noticed something stuck to it.

“Hey! I found our fingerprint!” said Trent. “It was stuck to my guitar.”

“Woohoo! You go, white boy!” said Leshawna. Both teams were seen putting together their puzzles, trying to figure out the mystery.

“Hey, where’s Justin?” said Beth.

“Off with MY paparazzi,” said a bitter Dakota.

“I’m sure he didn’t mean any harm! Maybe he just wanted a little time to be famous, too,” said Beth.

“Yeah, well, he didn’t have to take it from me!” said Dakota, angrily storming away.

“Touchy!” said Anne Maria, looking at herself in a mirror, "I don't need paparazzi to know I got the goods."

“I think I’ve got it!” said Suki, surprising everybody.

“What’d you get?” said Sam.

“I think Scott committed the crime!” she said. Suki continued to explain each piece of evidence in turn. This made sense to her teammates. They all nodded in agreement until Noah chimed in. “I think it was Sierra,” said Noah.

“Why? Suki’s idea makes more sense,” said Cody. Noah explained one crucial fact that Suki was missing; however, there were some holes to Noah’s idea, too.

“Hey! My buddy Noah’s always right! Let’s just go with his!” said Owen. The team came to an agreement.

Suki sank into her chair in embarrassment. The other team quickly found Scott guilty of the crime.

“Alright contestants, time to give me your accusations!” said Chris. Each team presented their ideas. “Well, one of you is wrong, and the other is right. Shocker, huh? Anyway, the winner of the challenge is…The Fiery Phoenixes!” The Phoenixes cheered while the Foxes glared at Noah, who looked dismayed. There was a cutaway to the Gilded Chris Ceremony.

“Well, you guys sucked! How’d you get Sierra? That doesn’t even make sense!” laughed Chris. “Well, one of you will be walking the dock of shame, and will never be able to come back. EVER. Fortunately, that person is not Blaineley or Izzy. It’s also not Brick, Cody, Dakota, Jo, or Tyler. Geoff, you’re also safe. Sam, Beth, Anne Maria, Gilded Chris's for you too. Mike, you will also be getting an award. Suki, Eva you’re safe, too. And……Sierra. Owen, Justin, Noah, one of you is going home tonight. That person is not…Owen. Justin, Noah, this is the final Gilded Chris of the night. Whoever does not receive this Gilded Chris will have to immediately walk the walk of shame and never return. Ev-er. The final Gilded Chris Award goes to

Noah. Justin, time to go,” Chris said.

“What? But…I’m beautiful!” said Justin.

“Too beautiful for your own good, buster. NOBODY takes MY paparazzi,” growled Dakota.

“See ya, wouldn’t wanna be ya! Huh huh,” said Sam.

“Bye Justin!” said Beth. Justin hung his head as he boarded the boat of losers.

Chris then closed the episode, saying, “What a shocking elimination ceremony! Who will Dakota’s alliance eliminate next? Will Brick and Jo ever settle their conflict? Was the butterfly Dawn talked to telling the truth? Find out all this and more, next time, on Total! Drama! Explosion!”

Chapter 7: Harry Potter and the Gilded Chris Award
"Last time on Total Drama Explosion!" began Chris, "The contestants had their minds bended in the Puzzle genre challenge. Suki finally tried to benefit the team, but sadly her correct theory about the criminal was rejected by Noah. Despite Noah costing the Foxes the challenge, it was Justin who went home after Dakota got angry at him for stealing her paparazzi. In the Wizardry movie genre the contestants will see what it's like when they are truly pushed to their limits. Who will win? Who will lose? Find out on Total...Drama...Explosion!"

Theme Song

The boys woke up in the guys trailer cramped.

Trent (CONF): Ok, not that I don't love being around my boys, the cabin was a LOT roomier back in Total Drama Action.

Owen was talking to Cody and Mike about their decision to ally with Dakota.

"I feel bad voting off Justin," said Owen, "I mean, that guy is smoking."

"Yeah...uh-huh..." said Cody. Cody had an awkward glance at Noah, but he didn't notice. Mike was too busy staring out the trailer window to participate in the conversation.

Mike (CONF): Zoey...

In the meantime, most of the other guys were watching Scott and Joe go at it.

"I'm new, you're used, get over it," said Joe.

"You know, when you get voted off, and that is going to happen soon, I'm going to throw a party, and everyone will be invited, even scrawny boy Cameron over there," replied Scott.

Cameron (CONF): Woo party!

Joe (CONF): I don't care what they think, I can wrap them around my finger like that -snaps- I will do anything to win this game...anything

Scott (CONF): Pappy always told me to keep your friends close and your enemies closer, but I am keeping that new guy Joe as far away as possible

In the girls cabin, they weren't getting along any better.

"Seriously, you girls are a bunch of fru fru wimps," said Jo. Eva nodded in agreement.

"Look man-ladies, you aren't even on our team, so back off," replied Heather, one fist balled up.

"Guys, can we please just get along?" asked Gwen.

"Leshawna is sick of you two," said Leshawna, "Y'all are just mad you lost the last challenge."

"Oh really is that it homegirl? That's it, you are dead," said Eva. Her and Jo began advancing towards the Phoenix girls just as Chris blew the challenge horn.

"Thank goodness!" said Zoey, rushing out of the trailer. The other girls followed.

Courtney (CONF): One Eva was bad enough, but Jo is just Eva with some social skills, having both them here might make me go insane

Heather (CONF): Man-lady is going down

The contestants walked outside their trailers to see Chris standing there dressed as a wizard.

"Hello Contestants! Today's genre is Wizardy! I'm sure you have all seen the Mary Potter movies," said Chris, before he was interrupted by Harold.

"Oh my gosh are we getting magic powers? Just like in Samurai Sword 4: When Worlds Collide?" asked Harold excited.

"No way! I beat that game like three times!" replied Sam. The two high-fived, and Duncan walked up and gave both of them wedgies.

Duncan (CONF): Hey, twice the nerd, twice the fun

"No Harold, remember we have a budget, and most of it is used on me," began Chris, "anyways, today's challenge will be called Castle of Terror. Your challenge is to look in the haunted castle, used in the Mary Potter movies, to find your team's crest. If any team member leaves the scary castle, they may no longer participate. Be warned though, Chef is in there." The scene shifts and shows Chef dressed as Voldemort standing in the castle.

"Alright losers, get ready and...go!" said Chris. The contestants all ran into the castle.

"Alright I say we go downstairs," said Courtney, "this is Chris we are talking about, he will probably put it in the most cliche spot, the dungeon."

"Good plan Cour-," began Gwen, before she was cut off by Courtney's angry glare.

"Sheesh," replied Gwen, blowing her hair out of her face.

"Well I also agree with Courtney," said Bridgette. The two shared a smile, and the team headed down the stairs. The Foxes on the other hand weren't having an easy time agreeing on which way to go.

"I say the only way to go is up. It makes sense I mean...winners end up on top, and like we are winners," said Anne Maria, spraying her hair with hairspray.

"Yeah, because that makes sense," said Noah sarcastically.

"I say we take this hunt systematically," said Suki quietly. The Foxes turned their attention to her.

"We split up, in groups of three to avoid anyone getting captured," said Suki.

"Good idea mousey," replied Jo.

"Actually-" Noah began cynically before he was interrupted by Jo.

"Hey, we listened to you last time and lost the challenge smarty pants, so this time you can keep it quiet," replied Jo.

Noah (CONF): Hmph, Whatever *rolls eyes*

Back with the Phoenixes, they were systematically searching the downstairs when something went wrong.

"Uh...like...where is DJ?" asked Katie. The contestants looked around to find DJ nowhere to be found. They split up among the various corridors of the dungeon to try and find DJ, which was a fatal mistake. Voldemort Chef appeared at the end of a corridor where Leshawna and Lindsay were headed.

"Uh huh, Leshawna don't do nose-less freaks," said Leshawna. She and Lindsay screamed as the screen went black.

"This doesn't feel right, the vibe is all wrong," said Dawn as she was leading Gwen and Katie down a different pathway. "I keep getting this 'crest-y' vibe and it's getting in the way of DJ's aura."

"Wait like team crest?" asked Gwen excitedly, "Oh yeah! Lead us there Dawn."

"Not until we find DJ," replied Dawn. Katie looked on jealous.

"Oh yeah well...I can feel DJ's aura too, uh-huh," said Katie. Dawn's eyes widened with excitement.

"You are an aura reader too?" asked Dawn.

"Uh...yeah...sure..." replied Katie. Gwen snickered which earned her a glare from Katie. As Dawn lead the girls down the corridors, something lurked behind them in the shadows. Back up with the Foxes, one team of three, Anne Maria, Blaineley and Tyler were not having much luck finding anything.

"Ugh, I hate this stupid challenge, on this stupid show, on this stupid film lot, in this stupid castle..." ranted Blaineley, as she walked up the spiral staircase.

"Quit complaining blondie," replied Anne Maria non-chalantly.

"Yeah, we are here to win it!" yelled Tyler, "Oh yeah!" The three get to the top of the staircase and enter a room, that turns out to be a maze completely full of mirrors. Blaineley and Anne Maria get distracted by their images, leaving Tyler to trudge on into the maze alone.

"Oh yeah baby, look at all that," said Anne Maria.

"Yeah uh...no thanks," replied Blaineley, "quite frankly that should never be seen by anyone who still wants to be able to see." The two began cat-fighting when Voldemort Chef swooped down from the ceiling scooping both girls up in his bag. He grinned, and showed that Leshawna and Lindsay had been caught as well. He held up the number five to the camera, which Tyler saw in one of the mirrors, and left the room searching for more victims.

"Uh oh, this is bad," said Tyler to himself, "He's got my Lindsay!" Tyler begins heading after Voldemort Chef for revenge. Another group of three is also not having much luck.

"...and that is why on my fifth birthday I got banned from Chook E. Cheese's, and..." rambled Sierra, with an annoyed Noah and Cody walking behind her.

"How do you put up with this?" whispered Noah to Cody.

"Eh...you get kind of used to it," replied Cody in a hushed tone. Noah motioned for Cody to sneak away with him through a different corridor, and Cody first looked at Sierra who was walking away, then at Noah, and decided to join him. Sierra walked a bit further until she realized she was alone.

"AHH!" she screamed, "OMG Chris this is so not cool." Voldemort Chef appears from another door in the hallway, and quickly bagged Sierra. The Foxes were still searching the dungeon, split up among the long corridors of cells. Bridgette walked down one with Heather, Courtney and Joe.

"You think your sooooo cool," said Heather to Joe. He rolled his eyes and continued to ignore her.

"Like for example, you waltz in all 'I'm not even going to pretend I'm a good guy' and expect to make it far. As if, you are so dead," continued Heather.

"Yeah, like what kind of strategy is that?" followed up Courtney.

Bridgette (CONF): Ok, I may have picked the wrong group to walk with

They continued down the corridor, when they saw the crest in one of the cells.

"Oh yeah! Phoenixes rule!" cried Bridgette. But before they got too happy, Voldemort Chef appeared from one of the other cages.

"Great," said Joe, "as if being stuck in this stuffy hallway with Asia McBossy wasn't enough." Voldemort Chef slowly approached the group of four, when the crest suddenly dissappeared. Izzy appeared holding the crest over her head, and began running down the corridor.

"Oh yeah! Izzy wins!" yelled Izzy in glee.

"Izzy that is the wrong team's crest," said Eva.

"Um, excuse me, last time I checked I was the leader of Team E-Scope, not you," replied Izzy. Eva grabbed the crest from her and out of anger chucked it at Voldemort Chef. He ducked, causing the crest to fall into Bridgette's hands.

"Quick let's move!" said Courtney, and the four began sprinting through the corridor of dungeons.

"Thanks man-lady!" said Heather as she was running away. Eva went crazy and began bending the bars of one of the cages.

"Eva it's ok, everyone makes mistakes," said Izzy, placing her hand on Eva's shoulder. Eva's fiery eyes died down.

"Uh...thanks...I guess..." replied Eva.

"Team E-Scope?" asked Izzy, holding her hand in the air for a fist bump.

"Team E-Scope," replied Eva, responding with a fist bump.

Eva (CONF): Wow I actually...calmed down...I hope the guys at the gym don't rag on me for it. Who knew nut ball wasn't crazy?

The contestants re-convened at the front of the castle, after Chris announced over the mega phone that the Fiery Phoenixes won. Standing there already were DJ, Leshawna, Lindsay, Sierra, Blaineley and Anne Maria.

"I still can't believe you only caught six people," said Chris angrily to Chef, "like really man?"

"Hey, why don't you go wander through a dark scary castle looking for a bunch of snot nosed teens, see how you like it," replied Chef angrily.

"Whatever," replied Chris, "So anyways, the Fiery Phoenixes win! Frozen Foxes, I will be seeing you at the Gilded Chris ceremony tonight where someone will be going home.

"Great job new girl," said Jo, "your splitting up was such a great idea." She began advancing towards Suki.

"Hey, let's all just chill out," replied Geoff, stepping in front of Suki.

"Yeah besides, Eva was the one who gave the other team their crest," said Izzy, but she quickly covered her mouth after she realized her mistake.

"Oops," she followed up, "I probably shouldn't have said that."

Eva angrily glared at Izzy.

"Ooh, I love the smell of tension in the evening, well let's go to elimination!" said Chris. At the elimination ceremony, everyone on the stands was tense. Some votes were shown.

"Who gives up the crest?" said Mike, clicking Eva.

"You think you are so smart," said Noah, clicking Suki.

"I don't really want to have an alliance with you," said Cody, clicking Dakota.

"I can't believe you ditched me, and brought my BFFL with you," said Sierra, clicking Noah. Chef appeared carrying a tray of Gilded Chris awards, and Chris walked up to the podium.

"Tonight, there are seventeen of you, soon there will be only sixteen. Whoever leaves will not be coming back...ever, and lose out on the chance at one billion dollars, let's get to the votes. The first Gilded Chris award goes to Tyler."

"Boo-yah!" said Tyler, catching his award, "safe again!"

"Also safe are the show's two least favorite females, Blaineley and Jo!" said Chris. The two caught their awards with glares plastered on their faces.

"Cody, you are also safe for tonight, as are you Anne Maria, Izzy and Owen," said Chris. The four caught their awards with smiles. Owen scooped Izzy into a hug, as Chris continued calling out names.

"They also go to Beth, Sierra, Geoff, Mike, Sam and Brick," said Chris.

"Thank you sir!" said Brick, saluting before he was hit by the Gilded Chris award. Mike was also hit with one, causing him to gasp and turn into Chester. He silently grumbled under his breath about 'old person' problems.

"Oh yeah!" cheered Beth and Sam in unison, they high-fived which earned Beth a glare from Dakota.

"Eva, Suki, Dakota, Noah, you four all received votes tonight and one of you will be eliminated from the game. That person will not be Noah," said Chris, tossing the award to Noah. Sierra glared at him in return.

"That will also not be Suki," said Chris, tossing another award to Suki.

"What?! Why me?" asked Dakota. Eva smirked at Dakota.

"The final award of the evening goes to

...Dakota. Eva, time to go," said Chris. Dakota squealed, but it was interrupted by Eva.

"WHAT? No way!" yelled Eva in anger. "Crazy girl, I am coming after you," she said threateningly.

"Oh chef," sang Chris. Chef carried Eva down the walk of shame to the lam-o-sine.

"Another down, that makes six, but we still have a lot more to go, thirty-four to be precise. Stay tuned for another exciting episode of Total...Drama...Explosion!" said Chris.

Chapter 8: Remember That Big Plane?
"Last time on Total Drama...Explosion!" began Chris, "our favorite competitors competed in the Mary Potter challenge, with the Fiery Phoenixes coming out on top...again. That's right, the Frozen Foxes are seriously struggling this season. Eva...Eva, Eva, Eva, she managed to get herself voted out pretty early again, due to her temper and costing her team the challenge. Finally one of our villains takes the plunge. This time, we are introducing the third leg of the competition, the world leg. Will Owen's aerophobia return? Will Suki ever be listened to? Will Katie survive any further without Sadie? Find out, right here, right now, on Total... Drama...Explosion!"

Theme Song Plays

"We have to go on that giant floating piece of death...again? I was hoping Sierra's bomb cake permanently destroyed this scrap pile," said Courtney, standing at the airport with the other remaining contestants. Sierra looked at Chris worriedly, hoping he didn't still hold a grudge against her for destroying the plane. He tended to mess with the game a bit in favor of those he liked and against those he didn't.

"Don't complain, Lightning don't do complaining, besides, why don't you try running an obstacle course filled with killer mutant animals while wearing grandma glasses," replied Lightning.

"Oh that is nothing!" replied Gwen, "try doing the truth or dare wheel of death, and you will see how lucky you were to have just run an obstacle course."

"Or jumping of a 1000 foot cliff," chimed in Bridgette.

"Or being forced to break into song at various places around the world," added Noah. This quieted Lightning up, causing him to step back into the group.

Lightning (CONF): They think they better than Lightning, I'll be laughing when I kick their sorry butts off the plane, sha-toodles!

"Alright, so as you guys can tell, our third leg is going to represent the world-wide portion of the Total Drama series, so I hope you guys have fond memories of this plane. It's also funny that you mentioned song Noah, because the third season wouldn't be complete without...

Gwen (CONF): Oh no, just...no

Duncan (CONF): Please don't say it, please don't say it

Heather (CONF): This cannot be happening

Alejandro (CONF): Again, Seriously? Aye Caramba

Courtney (CONF): Woo!!

...some music! This season however, you will be singing popular songs that everyone knows, that way everyone can download them on utunes," said Chris. The contestants all began to groan. "Anyways, lets get this show on the road," said Chris.

"Oh my gosh, I get to ride in the jumbo jet with my BFF Lindsay, eeh!" squealed Beth. She and Lindsay begain jumping up and down and squealing. Beth was excited, because she didn't qualify for the third season. Katie frowned.

Katie (CONF): I am like, so happy Lindsay and Beth are best friends...but it really rubs in that like, Sadie isn't here anymore

"Wait...if there has been an Island, an Action, and a World portion, does that mean there will also be a radioactive portion?" asked Zoey worriedly.

"Sadly, we can't do that again after my run in with the coppers last season, so no," replied Chris. The contestants cheered, but their cheer was muffled by the sound of the jumbo jet starting up.

"Well looks like it is time to go! We are going to stay pretty nearby for our first destination. I hope you all like it. Phoenixes you get first class first for winning the last challenge, have fun in economy Foxes!" The contestants all boarded the plane, worried about their first world challenge.

"Ok that's it, way too many people, I am going to Chris's quarters, I am a host after all," said Blaineley. She began to barge through the door before she was stoped by two interns with Chef standing behind them.

"Sorry sister, you get equal treatment, have fun with all the rats in economy," said Chef. He and the two interns left giggling, and Blaineley was fuming with anger.

"Hey blondie, you need to learn that you are no better than the rest of us," said Anne Maria. Blaineley turned and started charging towards her before she was held back by Brick.

"I am in agreement with Anne Maria m'am," said Brick, "We can't have people thinking they are any better than anyone else. We are a team, we are in this together." His statement ended with a brief glare at Jo.

Jo (CONF): What was that for? I dont't think I am better than everyone else, I just am! They just need to accept that and move on

"Yeah, military guy is right, we need to like all be on the same level so we can finally win another challenge and party!" said Geoff. The others cheered, but Blaineley and Jo both did not look amused. In the meantime, Tyler and Sam were both chuckling, as they made a game out of throwing small wads of paper at Cody. In first class, things were going smoother. Dawn was sitting with Gwen, DJ and Bridgette in one set of chairs.

"I can't believe I am back at this place," said Gwen, "I loved always getting first class...oh." She then remembered that Bridgette and DJ both rarely got first class in the first season. She quickly apologized, but Bridgette and DJ still looked down.

"It's ok, it was my fault, if I hadn't gotten that animal curse our team wouldn't have been totally destroyed," said DJ.

"You never really had a curse," chimed in Dawn, "when I watched the third season, I could see your aura and it was your own mind that was making the curse come to life."

"Yeah, besides I probably would have fallen for Ale-jerk-dro anyways," continued Bridgette.

"No one is to blame," said Dawn, "I am still worried though." She got up and walked away, leaving Bridgette confused.

"Uh what was that about?" asked Bridgette.

"She thinks something bad is going to happen to one of up, and I am wigged out," replied DJ.

"Don't worry Deej, I am sure it is nothing too horrible," said Gwen.

Gwen (CONF): Sure I am worried too, but I can't have another superstition getting to DJ's head and causing us to begin losing challenges. Besides, last time I checked butterflies do not communicate with human beings

The first destionation of the world portion was none other than Arizona's grand canyon.

"So, I have good news and bad news, the good news is that we are right above the grand canyon! We are flying in circles right now to maintain above the canyon, which leads me to the bad news, there is nowhere for us to land. So you will have to each get in your team's raft for our white water rafting challenge! Your challenge is to white water raft all the way to the finish line, and make it there first ok? Fun! Here are your rafts," said Chris. He pointed over to where the drop zone was. Sitting there were two dingy beat up rafts that were big enough for about sixteen people. They were going to have to squeeze.

"What is with you and dropping people off things," asked Beth, "that is not very nice."

"Pssh Lightning can handle big drops," replied Lightning.

"Yeah, piece of cake," added Tyler. Lightning glared over at him, earning a confused look from Tyler.

Lightning (CONF): I cannot believe that Tyler considers himself an athlete, it's sha-barrasing

"Err...I dont do drops very well," said Sam. His face began to turn green.

"Just pretend you are making the jump in Tonic the Porcupine Three: Aerial Battles," replied Harold. The two smiled at eachother, before Joe interrupted the nerd moment.

"Don't help the other team," said Joe, "Idiot."

Harold hung his head and walked over to the raft. "Hey man, only I get to pick on that dweeb," said Duncan. Joe rolled his eyes and walked over to the raft.

Duncan (CONF): Ha, that guy is so gone

Once all the contestants had loaded onto the raft, the floor beneath them opened up. The contestants all yelled in terror as they dropped from the plane in the dingy rafts. Mysteriously, Harold managed to be knocked off of the Phoenix's raft. He began to scream loudly, which caused his team to notice.

"Guys we have to help him," cried Bridgette.

"Harold baby, reach for my hand," said Leshawna. She reached her hand out of the falling raft, but he was just out of reach. The ground below was approaching very quickly, and Harold was not in line to land in the river with the rafts. Thankfully, Zoey reacted to the situation quickly. Realizing she was taller than Leshawna and the closest to Harold, she reached out to grab his hand. At the last second, he was yanked back into the raft by Zoey. The rafts then splashed into the water and began shooting down the river.

"Thanks sugar, I owe you one," said Leshawna to Zoey, "Anyone who helps out my homies is a friend of mine." Zoey blushed in response.

Zoey (CONF): Yes! More friends! But what if I do something wrong? What if I lose them? I hope Leshawna meant what she said

Harold had passed out, so the truth of what happened couldn't be revealed. The contestants were immediately thurst into the challenge. They shot down the river, and both teams were paddling hard.

Bridgette (CONF): Water sports? Right up my alley, this white water rafting challenge is totally cool

Katie (CONF): I wish Sadie was here to share this opportunity with me, DJ is soooo sweet though it kinda keeps me distracted

"Stroke, Stroke, Stroke," yelled Jo. She was sitting at the head of the Foxes raft with a megaphone.

"Um, I think it would be better if we took longer, harder strokes," said Suki.

"No, faster is better, full speed ahead soldiers," replied Jo. Suki sank back into her seat on the raft.

"Jo, you have to listen to everyone's ideas, sometimes it is the unexpected ideas that save a squadron's life," said Brick. Jo did not take the feedback well, sticking her tongue out at Brick and returning to shouting at everyone to stroke. The Phoenixes had a tense raft.

"Harold is absolutely no use to the team, I mean look at him, he is passed out," said Joe angrily.

"You know, I don"t think anyone would notice if we were missing Joe, I vote we throw him off the raft, all in favor?" asked Heather. Most of the contestants raised their hands.

"Come on guys, we can't be dumb about this, as much as I want this jerk off we don't want any sort of challenge penalty," said Trent.

"Yeah, my calculations say the extra strength Joe gives us would benefit more than throwing him off," added Cameron. Joe stuck his tongue out at Heather, and she returned the notion with a snarl.

Heather (CONF): Did I give that string bean permission to talk? No, no I didn't. Cameron is last season's winner, that could pose a big threat to me...it's time to strategize

The teams were neck and neck, rafting down the river with the walls of the Grand Canyon looming over them. A montage of the contestants rowing and a few of them sweating was shown. Jo continued to shout orders, as did Courtney for the Phoenixes. The result was that each team reached the finish line at the exact same time.

"Well...this is awkward...," said Chris, "I guess we will have to go to our tiebreaker." He brought all the contestants up to the top of the grand canyon. It had changed though, it now had a tight rope stretching across the width of the canyon.

"Oh no," said Cody, "This can't be good."

"I agree," said Beth. She leaned in closer to Cody causing him to lean away.

"Wha-" began Noah and Sierra, but were interrupted by eachother's voices.

"Anyways, I will need every member of both teams to cross this tight rope, whoever has the most succesful walkers wins," said Chris. He yelled go and the contestants started across the rope. Cameron was right behind Heather, and was the last contestant to get on the tight rope due to his anxiety problems. Right as he stepped on, the musical chime rang. The contestants all groaned again.

"Dang it, I though he forgot," said Leshawna.

"Ooh danger, E-scope likes," said Izzy, "time to bust a move." She began dancing causing the rope to bounce up and down. The contestants began wobbling, trying to maintain balance on the rope and not fall into the canyone below.

"Alright, your song for today will be Edge of Glory, by Lady Gaga, so have fun, and go!" said Chris.

Song 

Once the contestants were done singing, a majority of them had already finished. Very few had fallen off. Tyler was the first to fall off, taking Jo down with him. Jo was not happy about that.

Jo (CONF): Headband thinks that he is an athlete, then goes and throws me off a cliff! Not cool

Gwen and Courtney got into another brief fight, causing both to be sent off the side of the tight rope. Bridgette tried to save both of them, but couldn't, and almost ended up falling herself. Thankfully, Alejandro was there to catch her.

"Uh...thanks I guess," said Bridgette.

"No problem, I would never let such gorgous-ness fall," replied Alejandro. Geoff, who was on the tight rope as well, saw the interaction.

"Stupid Alejandro and his stupid perfect hair and his stupid spanish and..." rambled Geoff to himself. Bridgette shot him a wink, but Geoff ignored it.

Geoff (CONF): I hope Bridge is still as in to me as she used to be, I mean, we don't even make out anymore, ok well sometimes but not always like we used to. It sucks man

Heather put her plan into action when she noticed Cameron having slight issues crossing the tight rope. As he was stumbling, she "helped" him up, but actually knocked him over the side. He screamed as he took the plunge. Everyone else had finished, and since the Foxes had more finished they finally won a challenge.

"Way to go scrawny," yelled Heather over the side of the cliff.

"Yeah, way to cost us the challenge," added Courtney.

At dinner, the Foxes finally had a chance to kick back and relax, but Jo took this as an opportunity to officially become captain.

"...and I'm smart, and goodlooking, and that is why you should vote me for captain of the Foxes," said Jo. Once she finished her speech, she bowed and sat back down.

"I am pretty sure we don't have captains Jo," said Sierra angrily, "besides, even if we did the choice would be obvious, Cody." Cody blushed, but quickly stopped when he realized that Noah, Beth and Sierra were all staring at him.

"Uh...no thank you," said Cody.

"Yeah, scrawny couldn't lead a group of kindergarteners to the playground, let alone a whole team," said Jo.

Cody (CONF): I am pretty sure I got third place in a group of seventeen and she got fifth in a group of thirteen...just saying

In the meantime, the Phoenixes were arguing over who should be eliminated. The main names thrown out there were Cameron and Joe. Things seemed to be leaning towards Joe though.

"Hey, at least I helped out in the challenge, Nerdling #1 was passed out the whole time from his accident, and Nerdling #2 cost us the win," said Joe.

"Hey, I got pushed," said Cameron, "Heather."

"I have no idea what you are talking about," replied Heather.

"I still think it should be Joe, I mean if you look up evil in the dictionary there is probably a picture of his face there," said Leshawna. Joe glared at her but she didn't care. Suddenly, the scene cut to the first barfbag ceremony of the season.

"I have seventeen barfbags on this plate, and there are eighteen of you," began Chris, "Let's get the ball rolling, the first barfbag of the season goes to...Bridgette." Bridgette walked up and proudly claimed her barfbag. She remained standing at the front as Chris continued to call names.

"Leshawna, Trent, Lightning, you three are also safe," said Chris. The three also walked up to claim their barfbags. Bridgette high-fived Trent and Leshawna, and they joined her standing. Lightning went for a high-five, but Bridgette didn't noticed so Lightning got angry and went to stand by himself.

Lightning (CONF): I have had enough of these "veterans" thinking they are better than Lightning, Lightning will strike them so hard they won't even know what him them

"Also safe, Zoey, Courtney, Duncan and Gwen," continued Chris.

"Oh yeah!" replied Duncan. He got up to claim his barf bag. Zoey cheered as well, and put one arm around Courtney and one around Gwen.

"I am so glad we are all friends," said Zoey. This prompted Courtney and Gwen to glare at eachother, and for Zoey to back away nervously.

"The next bags go to Heather, Alejandro, Katie, DJ and Lindsay," said Chris. Lindsay squealed, and Dj and Katie hugged. Alejandro and Heather hugged as well, but quickly realized what they were doing and stopped.

"The last two vote-less wonders are Dawn and Scott, bags for both of you," said Chris. Both walked up and joined the rest of the contestants smiling.

"Joe, Harold, Cameron, one of you is going home tonight, but that one of you is not Joe," said Chris. He tossed him his barfbag, and Joe caught it with a smirk.

"What? No way!" said Duncan angrily.

Leshawna (CONF): *laughing* I knew Duncan would come through for Harold one day, it's kind of funny to watch him finally realize it though

Duncan (CONF): No, I wasn't upset because dweebling Harold was in the bottom two, it was because Joe wasn't, that guy irks me

"The final barfbag of the night is going to...

"What? Why me?" asked Cameron.

"Yeah, why Cameron?" asked Zoey. She looked at her friend sadly.

"You cost us the challenge, toodles," said Heather waving.

"Sha-bye bye," added in Lightning.

"Well bye guys, it was a fun sea-" began Cameron, before Chris pushed him off the plane.

"Man I missed doing that," said Chris, "with one of our four winners gone, are the other ones safe? And what actually happened to Harold? Find out next time on Total Drama Explosion!"

Chapter 9: Vegas Baby
"Last time on Total Drama Explosion," began Chris, "Our remaining competitors battled hard during their first world leg of this competition. We visited the sunny Grand Canyon, and the contestants had a ton of fun rafting, crossing a tightrope, and yes, singing. The songs are back! Isn't that exciting? Anyways, things are pretty tense right now with the Phoenixes. The villains seem to be causing a ton of problems for them, with Heather throwing the challenge to boot last season's winner. Bye-bye Cameron! This time, we will be flying to Viva Las Vegas, to see how the competitors manage the world portion of this game, and eachother. Who tried to end Harold? What is Suki's secret? Will Dawn continue to talk to butterflies? Find out, right now, on Total Drama Explosion!"

Theme Song

The episode opened up with the Fiery Phoenixes sitting in Economy class. The loss did not go over well with many of the contestants on the team.

"I'm telling you, I was pushed!" said Harold.

"Harold, we all know your clumsy, but do you really need to make up a story for it?" asked Gwen.

"Yeah man, I mean that's not cool," added Trent. Gwen blushed at Trent, causing both Courtney and Duncan to shoot her dirty looks.

Duncan (CONF): If Gwen picks that pop sensation wannabe over me...

Gwen (CONF): Great, just what I need, Trent causing both Duncan and Courtney to be upset with me, perfect

"Well I believe Harold," said Leshawna, "I mean, how do you just fall out of a raft? It's not natural."

"Leshawna is right," said Dawn. The other Phoenixes looked at her as if she was going to continue talking, but she returned to her meditating. In the meantime, Katie and DJ weren't paying attention to everyone else. They were sitting in the corner laughing.

"No way, like you really did that?" asked Katie.

"Yeah, momma thought it would be a good idea, but man was she wrong on this one," said DJ. The two began chuckling.

"Excuse me, does this look like happy fun time? Need I remind you that we lost?" said Courtney. The three began fighting aimlessly before it was interrupted by Bridgette.

"Guys, if we want to get back to our winning streak, we need to stick together," said Bridgette. Silence followed, but fighting broke out again shortly. Bridgette sighed and the scene transitioned to Geoff sighing in first class.

"Seriously guys, this is so not a party, we can't have all this fighting," said Geoff.

"Yeah hear that sister? Shut up," said Blaineley. Anne Maria snarled and took a dive at her. The two began fighting before Sierra broke it up.

"Ugh, I am definitely like, uber gen one contestants," said Sierra. Her team turned to look at her with confused looks on their faces.

"I mean I like the first generation cast...duh," said Sierra.

"Hey that's not ver-" began Mike, before gasping. Mike's body began contorting, as his left eye began to shut and his spine began to bend. His face scrunched up and a groan similar to that of an old man's came out. Chester had returned.

"You young whipper-snappers really need to calm down," said Mike (Chester). Chester began aimlessly babbling about how they didn't have fancy airplanes in his day, and how they should go back to the horse and buggy system. In the meantime, Cody was trying his best not to feel uncomfortable. Beth, Sierra and Noah were all staring at him, and Cody was trying to pretend he didn't notice.

"Hey there big boy," said Beth, scooting towards him. She pulled out her chicken perfume and spritzed it on. Cody laughed nervously and scooted away from her.

Cody (CONF): Sure I like Beth, but not like that.

"Don't you have Brady?" asked Cody.

"He doesn't have to know," said Beth. She proceeded to awkwardly wink at Cody.

"Well this is reality telivision..." said Cody, but Beth didn't seem to care. Thankfully, by the time Chris arrived at economy class Mike had reverted to his old self.

Mike (CONF): Why? Why? First Zoey and I get separated, and second my personalities begin to take control again. Maybe it has something to do with Zoey...

"Hello players, please meet me in the mess hall in five," said Chris. The contestants all followed him into the mess hall where the Phoenixes were already sitting.

"What messed up place are we going next?" asked Duncan.

"Oh you are all going to like this one, we are going to Vegas, baby!" said Chris, throwing his arms in the air. His announcement was met by silence.

"You do realize that we are only nineteen right? We can't get into any casinos," said Jo.

"Ha. Sucks to be you guys because I am old enough," said Blaineley.

"Oh yeah I forgot you were a grandma, my bad," replied Jo sarcastically.

"You won't be so hot from the outside of the casino," said Blaineley. She stuck her tongue out at Jo.

"Shush you two, who said anything about going in the casinos? You guys will get to experience the chilly winter nights here in Las Vegas as you complete today's challenge," said Chris, "Vegas attracts some pretty weird people, your challenge today will be to find those weird people and snap a photo with them. Here is a list." Chris handed Bridgette the Phoenix's list and Sierra the Fox's.

"But we are going to start with a song!" said Chris, "Once we land, I want you to give the streets of Las Vegas a performance, something poppy, something techno-y, something hip." The contestants meet this announcement in the usual way, with a groan.

"I think I know just the song," said Zoey, "it's not too mainstream but also not too in the dark."

The plane lands, and the contestants break into the song Titanium.

Song 

The song is met with roaring applause from the thousands of people wandering the streets of Vegas looking for night life.

"They love me, they love me!" said Courtney, bowing.

"Eeh!" squealed Dakota, "This is amazing, talk about fame booster. Oh yeah!" She pushed Courtney out of the way and began posing. Gwen went to help Courtney up, but ended up earning herself a scowl as Courtney used Bridgette's hoodie to pull herself off the ground.

"What was that about?" said Bridgette, turning around.

"Sorry, I didn't want goth-itis," said Courtney. She and Gwen broke into another one of their many fights, causing Bridgette to sigh walk away.

Gwen (CONF): I just want to make up with her

Courtney (CONF): I just want her gone

"Alright, and go," yelled Chris through a megaphone from aboard the plane. The contestants all sprinted off the stage and both teams ran off into the crowds on the streets of Vegas. The screen flashed white and changed to the Phoenixes wandering down the Las Vegas Strip, the main street of Las Vegas.

"This is what I'm talking about," said Duncan, looking around at all the casinos and women.

"Well, it fits a pig like you," said Courtney as she picked up a banana peel off the ground and threw it into a nearby trash can.

"So what's first Bridge?" asked Zoey.

"It says someone with a big mo-hawk, p.s. Duncan does not count," said Bridgette.

"Crap," said Duncan, snapping his fingers.

"Alright, we are in Las Vegas, how hard could it be to find another punk wannabe," said Scott.

"Hey," said Gwen, Duncan and Courtney at the same time. Courtney quickly looked embarrassed, and walked away.

Duncan (CONF): So princess still isn't resisting the D-Man...interesting...I could use that

"Come on guys, we are not losing this, we will fight and we will come out on top," said Alejandro.

"Save it Ale," said Lightning, "we all know your tricks."

"Yeah, it's not like we didn't watch Total Drama World Tour," said Joe.

Alejandro (CONF): That is such an unfair advantage! How am I supposed to manipulate people when they know that I'm doing it? Now I can't gain anyone's trust...I am going to have to kick it up a notch

"So Katie, your still upset about Sadie's elimination aren't you?" asked Alejandro. Katie nodded sadly.

"Well, how about I help you avenge her and we form an alliance," said Alejandro.

"But like...didn't you manipulate all those people two seasons ago?" asked Katie.

"Trust me, I want you to succeeed," said Alejandro, pulling Katie into his arms. She turned red and began giggling.

"Ok," said Katie, swooning. DJ watched the whole thing go down, warily.

"She doesn't actually like him" said Dawn, appearing beside DJ, "she is just playing along, I can tell by her aura." The two looked over and Katie kissed Alejandro.

"I don't want to hear it," said DJ. He out-of-character walked away as Katie stood giggling in Alejandro's arms.

"But..." began Dawn, before she realized DJ was too far away to listen. She hung her head sadly and continued walking with the team. Heather was taking the situation much differently.

Heather (CONF): Excuse me? Did Alejandro just kiss Katie? Oh she is so done, and so is he. Not because that happened, because they are a threat now...seriously...*screams angrily and kicks the confession cam*

"Look over there," said Harold, pointing off to someone walking by with a mo-hawk. Zoey ran over and snapped a photo of the punk before he could notice, then turned around and ran back.

"Got it," she said, as she arrived back to the group.

"Nice job Zoey!" said Bridgette, high-fiving her. That earned a point for the Phoenixes, however the Foxes seemed to be doing this challenge a lot better.

"Alright so we have the mo-hawk, the couple kissing, the person dressed as a cowboy, and the person wearing a Total Drama shirt," said Beth, "we are so getting first place!" The other Foxes cheered.

"It's thanks to my overwhelming fame, people were rushing just to come see me, I'm sure that made it easy to find all the people," said Blaineley.

"Sure blondie, whatever you say," replied Anne Maria.

"So we have two left," said Beth, "we need someone with bright neon colored pants." She had taken the list for her team and the reigns for this challenge.

Jo (CONF): Sure I don't like it when others lead, but nerd-ette is the only member of our team that has ever reached the final two. That's got to count for something. Besides, if she fails, bye-bye nerd

"There," said Suki, pointing at someone with neon-colored pants. She grabbed the camera from Beth's hands and ran over to the guy with the pants. The contestants watched as she took a picture of him. Suddenly, the guy and his group of friends looked excited to see Suki. One of them took a picture of Suki posing with the group. Once that was over, she warily looked over at her team and returned.

"What was that about?" asked Sierra, as they continued to find the final person on their list.

"Oh it's nothing," said Suki.

Suki (CONF): Alright, I might as well tell the viewing audience, I have a secret...I am sort of an internet celebrity. Only sort of though! I only have like ten million subscribers on my YouBox channel, if anyone else found out though I would be kicked off for sure, besides, I don't have the confidence to be dealing with people in real life. It's much easier responding to comments on a screen

The scene flashed back to the Phoenixes, who hand't made much progress.

"Come on, there has got to be someone dressed as a cowboy," said Bridgette, looking at the list. Right when they spotted someone dressed as a cowboy, Bridgette's cell phone rang. She answered, and it turned out to be none other than Chris.

"Alright, come back to the plane losers, the Foxes are already done," said Chris. Bridgette hung her head and told the rest of her team. They all headed back to the plane to find the Foxes there cheering.

"Foxes rule, baby" said Anne Maria, throwing her hands in the air.

"Oh yeah," said Cody, high-fiving Owen.

"We rock!" he said in reply. Owen gave Dakota and Sam a crushing hug, and Sam gigged with delight.

"I can't believe we lost...again," said Courtney.

"Ha. Sucks to be you guys," said Chris. The scene flashed to the mess hall, where the contestants were eating dinner. The Phoenixes were really tense.

"Easy, I think Ale-jerk-dro needs to go," said DJ.

"I second that," said Heather, immediately after DJ said it.

"No!" blurted out Katie, getting up out of her seat. She quickly blushed and sat back down, and Alejandro shot her a dirty look.

"Why Katie? Is there something your not telling us?" asked DJ angrily, "Don't pretend you don't know. I thought we were tight." Katie looked away in shame.

"Don't blame the lady DJ, you must act with honor," said Alejandro.

"Oh don't even talk to us about honor buddy, you left me stuck to a pole...in the arctic," said Bridgette.

"Yeah, and you are like...really mean," said Lindsay.

Joe (CONF): This is PERFECT! But it is not Alejandro's time, time to put my plan into action

Alejandro (CONF): Crap...

"It's time," said Joe, to a group in the dark.

"Ok," replied a number of unidentifiable voices. The scene then flashed to the elimination ceremony.

"Alright, you know the drill. There are sixteen barf bags on this plate, and seventeen of you. One of you will be going home today, and you will never return...ever," said Chris.

"The first marshmallow goes to...Bridgette," said Chris. She caught her barf bag and sighed with relief.

"Also safe tonight, Courtney, Heather, Gwen, our Amazonians," said Chris.

"Ugh, she is safe...again," said Courtney, referring to Gwen. Gwen sighed, but not with relief.

"DJ, Katie, the lovebirds may celebrate the joy that is safety," said Chris, tossing DJ and Katie their barf bags. That made the atmosphere of the room even more awkward than it was before. Both caught their barf bags in silence, and DJ looked at Katie sadly. She rpelied with another look of shame, and quickly turned away.

"Well...that was awkward...so anyways, Joe, Scott, Lindsay and Lightning, you four are safe as well," said Chris.

"Sha-booyah!" cheered Lightning as he caught his barf bag. Lindsay squealed and Scott and Joe both had a look that said that they knew they were going to be safe.

"Dawn, Zoey, Duncan, Trent and Leshawna, you five are also safe," said Chris. He panted and put his hands on his knees. "Man this is hard, there are so many of you."

"Yeah baby," said Duncan, as he caught his barf bag. Dawn and Zoey hugged, and Trent shot a look at Gwen, but she looked away.

"Alejandro, Harold...one of you is going home tonight, the last barf bag goes to....

........................................................................Alejandro," said Chris.

A look of confusion swept across the contestants holding their barf bags.

"What?" asked Harold, "but how?" Even Alejandro looked confused. He didn't even catch his barf bag he was so shocked.

Alejandro (CONF): Uh...all part of the plan?

"But....." said Harold.

"How did this happen?" asked Leshawna.

"Yeah, honestly though," followed up Duncan.

"I don't get it," said Bridgette.

"The aura of this situation is all wrong," said Dawn, glaring at Joe.

"Well I guess it was a good run, there is one last thing I need to say, last challenge, I know who pushed me off the raft, it was-" began Harold, before Chris shoved him out the plane.

"Well looks like there is another one gone, good night everybody," said Chris.

-This clip is shown exclusively to the viewers-

Joe (CONF): Ha. Good thing I came prepared with these extra passports, *holds up seven Harold passports* Lightning the halls are clear right? Good. Scott, I want you making sure no one enters through that way got it? *stamps multiple Harold passports and puts them down* I can't have anyone know it was me who tried to push you off, plus you are a threat, plus...I just don't like you, that's right, karma, have fun taking the drop of shame. I know I could have used up these extra passports on anyone, but it was worth it, and now you are gone. The first of many.

Chapter 10: Baby It's Cold Outside
"Last time on Total Drama Explosion, our competitors got to have fun in Las Vegas, and finally got to have a crowd for their musical performance. Our players navigated through the crowded streets of Las Vegas to try and photograph all the weirdos that were on their list. Ultimately, the Phoenixes began to butt heads even more than the Foxes, costing them the challenge. In a shocking twist, Joe showed a personal vendetta against Harold, sending him home by rigging the voting system. We probably shouldn't have let that happen but hey, I'm sure ratings are up. That won't happen again though or someone is going to get it. This time, our players are being taken to the frozen plains of Vancouver, for a snow-filled challenge. It's time to finish our first full cycle, who will win? Who will lose? Find out right now, right here, on Total...Drama...Explosion!" said Chris.

Theme Song

The episode began with the Phoenixes sitting back in economy class. Things were not looking any better than they were at elimination.

"I can't believe y'all voted off Harold," said Leshawna angrily.

"Calm down Leshawna, we didn't, we have to be smart about this," said Courtney, "besides, it's not like Harold was that useful anyways." Leshawna stood up, rolled up her sleeves and began walking towards Courtney before Bridgette and DJ held her back.

"Alright let's do it this way, if you voted Alejandro, raise your hand," said Gwen. Zoey, Bridgette, DJ, Dawn, Gwen, Courtney, Leshawna, Trent, Lindsay and Duncan all raised their hands. Gwen began counting all the hands.

"Alright, with Harold that makes eleven out of the seventeen votes directed at Alejandro, no offense," said Gwen. She glanced apologetically at Alejandro.

"Heather, you didn't vote for me?" said Alejandro, ignoring Gwen's notion.

"Uh...pssh yeah I did," said Heather, slowly and awkwardly raising her hand.

"But you didn't raise your hand," said Alejandro, in his seductive voice. Heather turned bright red, and stuck her tongue out at Alejandro.

"Hey!" said Katie, but Alejandro ignored her. He leaned in and kissed Heather. Katie started crying and ran out of economy class. DJ looked reluctant at first, but eventually decided to run after her.

"I have a sneaking suspicion what happened..." said Dawn, glaring at Scott, "I thought you had changed." Scott looked ashamed for a brief moment, before he became defensive.

"I didn't do anything nature freak," said Scott, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Well maybe Joe could tell us," said Dawn. Everyone's attention turned to Joe, who was sitting in the corner.

"You know what I find funny? How you guys continously threaten to vote me off, and yet after four eliminations I am still here," said Joe, "You are running out of time, tick...tock...tick..."

"That's only because you are almost slightly useful to the team, just you wait the first chance we get when we don't need you," said Courtney. Joe's face slowly turned red with anger, and the scene flashed to first class where the Frozen Foxes were staying. Blaineley was sitting in one of the chair sets, with Anne Maria, Jo, and Sierra.

"Alright sisters, I need to get far in this game, being the mega popular contestant I am I wouldn't want to displease any fans," said Blaineley.

"I haven't seen any Blaineley fansites," said Sierra quietly to herself.

"I am just going to ignore that, and move on," said Blaineley angrily, "So we are the four strongest females on this team, so I am giving you three the lucky chance of allying with me, Blaineley Stacey O'Halloran."

"Don't you mean Mildred blondie," said Anne Maria. She began chuckling, but stopped when she realized how red Blaineley was turning out of anger.

"Ally, us four? I don't know," said Jo.

Jo (CONF): I could use some allies, and some people to manipulate into feverishly obeying me...This could work

"Actually, I am in," said Jo.

"Good, what about you two other lovely ladies?" said Blaineley, but Sierra saw through her manipulation tactics.

"I don't know, I mean without Cody..." said Sierra.

"You are going to have to move past that sister, have you seen that boy's advances on Noah?" said Blaineley. The scene flashed back to the Foxes sitting in first class in the previous episode. Cody and Noah were both sitting at the mini-bar, and they both reached for the same drink. Their hands stayed their briefly until both pulled back embarrassed. The scene flashed back forward to the ladies in the chairs.

"That boy is playing for the other team," said Blaineley.

"That's not true," said Sierra, clearly in denial, "But in case it is, I guess I can join your little alliance."

"I am in too, you guys could use some hott-ness," said Anne Maria, "And we all know I gots the goods."

The four put their hands in the middle and broke. In the meantime, Dakota and Sam were sitting on the couch.

"So er...I never got to officially ask you out, you know...as Dakota, so-" began Sam, before he was interuppted.

"Of course Sam, besides the paparazzi, and the screentime, and the popularity, and the..." she rambled.

"Uh is this going somewhere?" asked Sam.

"You are almost the best thing that has ever happened to me on this show," said Dakota.

"I am cool with that," said Sam blushing. They were about to kiss, when Chris's voice boomed over the intercom.

"Meet me in the Economy Class in five," he said. Five minutes later, all the remaining contestants were standing in economy class. Suddenly, the plane started shaking violently.

"Oh no not again," said Leshawna, her voice shaking from the heavy turbulence.

"Sorry, snowy environments do that to the plane," said Chris. Suddenly, the plane landed, jerking all the contestants off their feet. The plane halted to a stop, a couple feet above the ground.

"Alright guys, remember the Yukon, one at a ti-" began DJ, before Lindsay bumped into him knocking him off the plane. One by one, the contestants hopped out the door into the snow, ending in a giant dog pile. The contestants slowly struggled to climb out of the big pile, with Chris watching amused. They gathered around Chris, who had put on winter gear.

"Alright, our coats had to have arrived," said Courtney.

"It's been over a year," said Bridgette.

"Wait, we don't get coats?" said Anne Maria, "that's ridiculous!"

"Didn't you watch last season?" asked Beth.

"No, I didn't watch Total Drama Blama until the end of the third season," said Anne Maria.

"So where are we anyways?" asked Beth, this time directing her question at Chris. He finished sipping his hot coffee very slowly before answering her question.

"Good question Beth, we are in Vancouver," said Chris.

"We haven't even left the western hemisphere yet," said Noah, "maybe if a certain host still had a certain assistant we would be somewhere cooler..."

"Shut it, before I personally kick you out of the game," said Chris angry.

"Can we get on with it? I'm itching to break out my mad skills," said Tyler.

"Agreed, this cold weather is pumping me up, as long as we don't have to go anywhere...dark," said Brick with a gulp.

Tyler (CONF): It's crazy that I am still the least talked about contestant on the fan blogs. Still. I have less play then all the season four contestants, and they have only competed in one season so far, this is my challenge, I can feel it

"Anyways, back to the challenge..." said Heather.

"Right, the challenge, your challenge today will be a massive snowball fight! That's right, you guys remember dodgeball all those seasons back?" said Chris. The scene flashed back to the dodgeball game. It showed Owen going crazy and throwing a ton of dodge balls, and Courtney, Katie, Duncan, DJ, and Geoff using Duncan's strategy to take out the Gophers. "We will be doing five on five snowball fighting!" said Chris.

"Oh yeah, I am so good at dogdgeball," said Tyler, cheering. This caused the veteran contestants to bust out laughing.

"Good is definitely not the word that I would have used there," said Heather.

"Hey, that was all bad luck," said Tyler.

"Whatever you say," said Heather. Chris then motioned for the contestants to follow him, and brought them to a giant battlefield. There were lines drawn out, forming what looked like a dodgeball arena in the snow. Each side had two piles of pre-made snowballs for the contestants to use.

"Alright here we are, I am going to skip the rules, because I am sure you all know them, and during the beginning of the challenge, guess what is going to happen?" asked Chris.

"Crap," said Duncan.

"Yes," said Courtney, at the same time as Duncan's "crap".

"That's right, it is song time, this time you will be doing a mash-up" said Chris. The musical chime rang overhead, and the contestants began their song, Hit Me With Your Best Shot/One Way or Another.

Song 

The song consisted of a montage, which showed three rounds. The Phoenixes sweeped the first round, but the Foxes retaliated and took the next two. In the fourth round, it was Bridgette, Lindsay, Dawn, Scott, and Trent against Tyler, Brick, Jo, Blaineley, and Cody. Tyler immediately scooped up three snowballs and chucked them at Dawn. As they were about to hit her, she side stepped and all three whizzed past her.

"Good moves," said Scott, "but watch this." He picked up two snowballs and lobbed one up in the air. As Tyler ran to catch it, Scott pelted him in the stomach with the second snowball, eliminating him.

"That was a dirty trick, but your aura says your intentions were good so...," said Dawn, and using Scott's strategy took out Cody.

"Ooh, Ooh I want to play," said Lindsay.

"Lindsay, you are playing," replied Trent.

"Yay!" cheered Lindsay. She ran, scooped up two snowballs, and weakly threw them at Jo. They both fell short, prompting Jo to laugh at the attempt. As Jo was laughing, Bridgette launched a snowball at her eliminating her from the challenge.

"Alright dude," cheered Bridgette. Her and Lindsay high-fived and the girls retreated to the back of the arena.

"Guys, we are seriously sucking right now," said Blaineley. She looked over at Brick, who was awaiting orders.

"Let's go military man, time to kick some butt," said Blaineley.

"Affirmative," said Brick. He immediately scooped up two snowballs, and strategically threw them at Dawn and Scott, eliminating the two from the challenge.

Brick (CONF): I didn't want the other contestants to know that I have a powerful arm, all those years at military boot camp really toughened me up, it was all strategy, if the Phoenixes knew at the beginning they would have tried to take me out first

"All right!" said Blaineley, "That is what I call team work."

"You did nothing," said Joe blatantly. This prompted Blaineley to throw a snowball at Joe, who was sitting on the bleachers.

"Hey, he is out, I would never throw it at someone who was on the bleachers," said Heather.

"What about th-?" began Lindsay, before Heather glared at her.

"That was an accident," said Heather, although she obviously didn't believe what she had said.

"Drama diva is out," said Chef, who was refereeing the match.

"What? How?" said Blaineley. Chef glared at her and pointed to the bench. Blaineley stuck out her tongue, but complied to Chef's call and stepped off to the sidelines. Chef glared at Blaineley, remembering the torture he had to endure in Africa due to Blaineley smooth talking him into an alliance. In the meantime, Brick scooped up another snowball and lobbed it at Lindsay, taking her out. This left Trent and Bridgette against Brick. All three contestants were on their toes, squatting, and bouncing back and forth, as if preparing for a volleyball game. Trent was the first to make a move. He grabbed a snowball and chucked it at Brick.

"Take that," he said, as the snowball left his hand and whizzed towards the military man. Bridgette took the oppourtunity to sneak to the side of the court, and throw another snowball from there. Brick easily dodged Trent's snowball, before getting pelted in the side by Bridgette's. Chef then blew his whistle, indicating he was out of the challenge.

"Round four goes to the Phoenixes," said Chef, as two of the rounds were shown in the montage, "This last round will determine the winner." Both teams huddled up and began deciding who to send out for the final round. The Phoenixes huddle was going fairly smoothly.

"If you don't remember, Harold won us this challenge last time, so good job booting him," said Courtney annoyed, "but I say we stick with some Bass members." The other contestants seemed hesitant at first, but eventually nodded in agreement.

"So let's do this, let's send out me, Duncan, Bridgette, Katie and DJ," said Courtney.

"But Lightning is an athlete, I should go too" replied Lightning angrily.

"Overruled," said Courtney. Alejandro, Lindsay, Dawn, Zoey, Joe, Scott, Trent, Heather, Gwen, Leshawna and Lightning stepped off to the bleachers, leaving the five Bass members to take the stage in the final round. The Foxes were also huddled deciding on who to send.

"Obviously we don't send book worm, or couch potato, or sweat band," said Jo, referring to Noah, Sam and Tyler, "but I surprisingly quiet girl throws pretty well, so I say we send her."

"Also Owen, he dominated one of the rounds last time, we just have to unleash him," said Cody.

"Alright good, of course I myself will go, but who else?" asked Jo to her team. The huddle looked around nervously at eachother.

"I'll go dudes," said Geoff. Jo glared at the party-er, annoyed how the contestants seemed to like him as a leader more than her.

"Alright, happy-go-lucky can go too, that leaves one, I vote either Cody or Sierra," said Jo.

"I will do it," said Cody and Sierra at the same time. Sierra snarled at Cody, which was returned with a confused look. Cody took a step back and Sierra stepped into the arena.

Sierra (CONF): I'm not going to pull a Courtney and try and throw the challenge. That got like, so badly reviewed on my fan sites, but if we lose today's challenge, this girl is making sure Noah goes home at the next elimination

"You got this guys," said Trent from the sideline.

"Yeah, do it," said Gwen. The two smiled at each other, which distracted Duncan. What Duncan didn't know, is that Chef had begun the round already, and Owen used the opportunity to take out Duncan. Duncan was on the ground rubbing his head, but still looking at Gwen. He went over to the bleachers and distanced himself from both Gwen and Trent.

"Oh yeah," said Owen.

"Come on let's show some effort," said Heather, clapping her hands. Katie and DJ teamed up and took out Owen. Their chemistry seemed better again, but still something was off between them.

Katie (CONF): Ok, so maybe I was like, really not smart for falling for Alejandro, but he is sooo cute, I just want DJ to forgive me though. I like, think it's really hard going without Sadie, but DJ almost makes me forget that...oops, sorry Sadie

"That's what I'm talking about," said Heather. Courtney threw a snowball at Sierra, but Sierra ducked under it. Sierra then fired a snowball straight at Courtney, but Bridgette dove right into Courtney pushing the two out of harm's way.

"Thanks Bridgette," said Courtney smiling, "that is how teammates and friends should treat eachother." She shot a glare a Gwen, per the usual.

"Look out," said DJ, throwing a snowball over the two fallen girls and hitting Jo, who was about to take the two out.

"I got this next one," said Courtney, line-driving a snowball straight at Geoff. It nailed him directly in the face, prompting Bridgette to run to the line separating the two sides.

"Geoff," she said, worrying for his well-being. While she was distracted, Suki threw a snowball at Bridgette's side, eliminating her from the challenge.

"Way to go surfer girl," said Heather sarcasitcally.

"It's ok Brianna," said Lindsay, who clearly still was having trouble with names, "I think it's cute." The two shared a smile, and Bridgette went to sit with Leshawna and Gwen on the bleachers.

"Alright Courtney, DJ, Katie it's up to you," said Bridgette.

"Right," said the three at the same time. Katie managed to throw out Sierra, before also getting thrown out by Suki.

"You can do it sister," said Blaineley, "Ra Ra!" Suki picked up another two balls and used Scott's strategy to take out DJ.

Scott (CONF): Hm that quiet girl seems to know her stuff, she picked up on my strategy pretty fast, if she makes merge she will have to go

Courtney and Suki had an epic showdown. It seemed to be going nowhere, before one of the girls made a mistake. Suki tried to use Scott's strategy on Courtney, who was waiting for that to happen and used the opportunity to sidestep and launch a snowball at her from the side. This caught Suki off guard, eliminating her from the challenge and giving the Phoenixes the win.

"And the Phoenixes win our Vancouver challenge," cheered Chris, throwing his arms in the air. The Phoenixes all got up and cheered. The scene then flashed to the mess hall in the jumbo jet, where the elimination was being discussed.

"Alright girls, move one, we take out Beth," said Blaineley. The other three girls looked at her confused.

"Why Beth?" asked Jo.

"Uh duh, she slipped all the way through to the final two last time," said Sierra, pretending to go along with the plan, but she had a different plan in mind.

"Alright, sounds good, she is a pimple on our beautiful team anyways," said Anne Maria. The four put their hands in the middle and broke. Despite agreeing, Sierra had other plans. She went off and began trying to convince the contestants to vote off Noah. Cody overheard Sierra talking to Izzy about the elimination, and when he heard Noah's name, he quickly tried to retaliate by finding out who else was being targeted. Blaineley, in an effort to collect more votes against Beth, brought Cody in and told him who they were planning on eliminating for being a threat.

"Alright," said Cody, agreeing with the plan. He then went to Mike, Owen and Dakota, re-grouping the ex-alliance.

"Alright guys, Beth is seriously creeping me out," said Cody, making up an excuse.

"More than Sierra?" asked Mike.

"More, and besides, she made final two back in Action, if we let her get far, who knows what would happen," said Cody.

Owen (CONF): I'm a little worried because I won the first season, does that mean people will target me?

Things were undecided when Chris called the Foxes into the elimination room. A few of the votes were shown to the viewers.

Sierra (CONF): And this is for trying to make my Cody play for the other team *stamps Noah's passport*

Cody (CONF): Please go home, please go home, please go home *stamps Beth's passport*

Geoff (CONF): I guess the little guy really doesn't do much *stamps Noah's passport*

Anne Maria (CONF): Bye-bye pimple *stamps Beth's passport*

Chris then pulled out his tray of barfbags filled with airline-issue peanuts.

"As you know, I only have fifteen barfbags on this plate," said Chris, "so one of you will be taking the drop of shame, and never returning...ever. This time though, that person will not be, Sam." He tossed a barfbag to Sam.

"Sweet," said Sam, looking at Dakota happily.

"Oh yeah that's right, Dakota, you get one too," said Chris, tossing one to her.

"Oh yeah!" she cheered.

"Also safe, Geoff, Brick, Jo, Suki, and Anne Maria," said Chris.

"Alright!" said Geoff, throwing a fist in the air. The five caught their peanut bags happily.

"And Sierra, Cody, Blaineley, Owen and Izzy," said Chris. Izzy began chuckling happily and caught her barf bag. Sierra squeezed Cody tight, and Owen wrapped Izzy and Sierra into one big hug.

"Oh yeah, we get to be together for another three days!" said Owen.

"Whoop-di-doo," said Blaineley, but she was still smiling due to her immunity.

"Beth, Tyler, Noah, the three of you all got votes against today, the only one I can really guess is Tyler, I mean really dude? You weren't exactly the best, lucky for you that didn't seem to matter, because you are also safe," said Chris, throwing him a bag.

"Beth, Noah, one of you is going home tonight, the final barf bag of the evening goes to...

...............................Noah," said Chris. Beth looked down sadly.

"Why me?" the sad nerd-ette asked.

"Threat, sorry girl," said Blaineley.

"I-I am a threat? No way!" said Beth, her sadness turning into excitement.

Beth (CONF): Hear that mom? I got eliminated because I was a threat, that's right, boo-yah! I would be sadder I guess, if I didn't have a big hunk of hottie to go home to, that's right Brady, I'm talking to you *winks at the camera and waves*

"I had a lot of fun, I am going to miss you all though, Tyler, tell Lindsay that I will miss-" began Beth, before she was also shoved out of the plane by Chris.

"Ahh that is always satisfying," said Chris, with an evil smirk, "that is all for this week, tune in next time to find out what will happen, on Total Drama Explosion!

Chapter 11: Lost in Wawanakwa
"Last time on Total Drama Explosion," said Chris, "our remaining thirty-two contestants battled it out in a giant snowball fight in Vancouver. The Phoenixes finally got their mojo back, and thanks to Courtney beat the Foxes in three out of the five rounds. Sadly, that meant bye-bye for one of our former runner-ups Beth, who was booted for being a threat. That leaves six out of our eight formal final two members still in the game. Are they safe? Is anyone safe? Were back at the island for thrills, drama, and excitement, right here, on Total, Drama, Explosion!"

Theme Song

"So why are we in the cargo hold?" asked Noah, clearly annoyed. All the remaining contestants were sitting on the floor of the cold, dark room.

"Not like it's any better than that crappy Economy Class room, my butt is aching," said Anne Maria.

"Thanks for that," said Blaineley, with a straight face.

Blaineley (CONF): Ok so maybe I picked the wrong people to ally with, but I have to stick with them, I am so making it to the end of this loser fest

"This reminds me of the situation in that song, Trapped in Reality by the Metal Crushers," said Gwen, "That song was awesome".

"I love that band, I knew them back when they were underground," replied Zoey.

"No way," said Gwen, "that is actually pretty cool." Zoey was about to reply before she was interrupted by Tyler.

"I'm sorry guys," said Tyler loudly, and suddenly, "I didn't mean to do badly in the snowball fight."

"Aww it's ok Tyson, you didn't do that bad," said Lindsay. Tyler blushed and Lindsay kissed him on the cheek.

"Still with the enemy I see," said Heather.

"No it's not what it looks like," said Lindsay, trying to cover it up.

"By the way Linds, Beth said to tell you she says bye to you, and wishes you luck in the competition," said Tyler.

"Uh why?" asked Lindsay. She then realized Beth was no longer with the group, which caused her to scream.

"Didn't you notice her gone?" asked Courtney, "Idiot. Besides, you can't trust that little nerd-ette anyways."

"Hey, that's like, not nice," said Katie, trying to cover for Lindsay, "I know what it's like to have your best friend eliminated." Courtney seemed taken aback by Katie's sudden outburst. An awkward silence followed, as Chris walked in the room.

"So I am guessing we are heading back to Wawanakwa right?" asked Gwen.

"Very good Gwen, that is true, we have completed one full rotation, with three island, action, and world stages, congratulations on completing rotation one. After rotation two, there will be a lot less of you sitting with me in this room, nine less to be precise, one of which will be going home today."

"So why are we in here?" asked Trent.

"Good question Trent, you are in here because- NOW CHEF," yelled Chris. The floor opened up beneath all the contestants and they fell down into the ocean on the far side of Wawanakwa.

"Good luck getting back to camp," yelled Chris from the jumbo jet, that was flying away.

"I hate him so much," said Heather. The contestants were all treading water.

"Ok I am getting serious de ja vu," said Jo. She looked to her left and saw Lightning swimming past her.

"Sha-stroke, sha-stroke," he said, each time he took a stroke.

"Oh don't think you are a faster swimmer than me," said Jo, who quickly darted after him.

"Charge ahead soldiers," yelled out Brick, as he began swimming as well. The other contestants all followed behind, and eventually they all reached the shore.

"Seriously, if Chris makes us swim one more time," said Anne Maria. She was panting out of exhaustion. The contestants were sitting there for a few minutes, before they realized nothing was happening.

"Where is Chris? Where are the mutant animals? Where are the sharks?" asked Gwen, smirking. The contestants all chuckled at Gwen's comment, but eventually those smiles turned into frowns, as they realized Chris wasn't coming for them.

"He seriously meant we were finding our way back to camp?" asked Joe.

"Haven't you watched this show?" asked Trent, already walking towards the woods. Joe looked ready to retaliate, but chose not to and followed behind.

"So what is our plan captain, I mean you are the one with the brains" said Scott, obviously sucking up to Joe. Lightning chuckled at Scott's attempt, but Scott ignored it and looked at Joe.

Joe (CONF): Just because Scott could persuade Zoey and some other generation two contestants so easily, doesn't mean he can manipulate me, but I'll let him think he can

"I say we take out Dawn," said Joe. Scott froze, looking a little hurt. He quickly swallowed the paralysis away, and sped up to catch up to Joe again.

"What? You falling for creepy girl?" asked Lightning, "This is a man's game, Lightning's got no time for romance."

"Who even said that I liked her? You're crazy grandpa," said Scott, mocking Lightning's white hair. Both teams seemed to be sticking together, but as they progressed further into the forest the Foxes seemed to be going at a quicker pace.

"Full speed ahead team," said Jo, leading the pack, "we ARE getting back to camp first." The Foxes followed close behind Jo.

Blaineley (CONF): Alright, psycho jock has to calm down, because if she gets booted that leaves me a man down, literally

"How are you doing dude?" asked Mike, putting his hand on Tyler's shoulder. Tyler seemed surprised by this notion, noting he hasn't spoken with many of the new contestants since the start of the final season.

"Er, good, thanks bro," said Tyler, rubbing the back of his head. The conversation took an awkward turn, since neither had anything else to say, and Mike slowly sped up to walk with Brick. Anne Maria was busy checking out Mike, which was noticed by Zoey, who was leading the Phoenix pack.

"No good, over-tanned, poofy haired..." mumbled Zoey.

"What's wrong?" asked Dawn, appearing next to Zoey.

"I know this is dumb, but it's Mike or I mean, Vito and Anne Maria, I know he can't help it, but I can't stop myself from-" began Zoey.

"I get it, but Mike is gaining control again, after what made him lose control again," said Dawn. The two locked eyes, seemingly having a silent conversation about what had apparently happened to Mike. This was all overheard by Scott.

Scott (CONF): Alright, do I tell Mr. Know-It-All about this new information about Mike? Or do I help Dawn? Not because I like her or anything, that's gross, but you know...for gameplay

"Alright, it's getting dark, I say we set up camp," said Bridgette.

"The other team is getting ahead though!." exclaimed Courtney.

" Bridgette is right, there is no point walking through the dark," said Trent, "besides, we could all use some rest, it has been a long day."

"Well what do we use as a tent?" asked Zoey. The contestants began to look around for shelter-like materials, as the scene panned to the Frozen Foxes. The Foxes had also decided to set up camp for the night, but they were doing much better than the Phoenixes.

"And that is hwo the army sets up a tent," said Brick. He had Dakota, Tyler, and Sierra helping him set up the tent. The three were looking over their work, when they were distracted by a bright light.

"Fire is ready," said Izzy. She cackled at her job well done.

"Nice work crazy girl, that was surprisingly useful of you," said Jo, who was currently collecting firewood.

Jo (CONF): Eva being gone makes it much easier for me around here, I don't need another person trying to shine in my spotlight, I am leading this team all the way

"This is awesome," said Anne Maria, who was lounging on a log, "This is a nice crib we got goin' on here."

"Yeah, I wonder how our food team is doing," said Jo. The scene flashed to Noah, Suki, and Blaineley. They were walking in the woods, scavenging for any food they could find. Eventually, they bumped into a wall.

"Wait...I know this wall...this is the wall Courtney found back in the special," said Suki.

"She had climbed over it to get that hot air balloon, that means civilization on the other side," said Noah.

"Civilization? Sounds good to me, let's go," said Blaineley. She lifted up Suki, who lifted up Noah, allowing him to get on top of the wall. He struggled, but managed to pull Suki up, and the two pulled Blaineley up together. While sitting on the top of the wall, they realized they were right next to a fast food place. They hopped over, and began walking towards the restaurant, when a slender, asian man got out of his car. He approached the group excitedly, and speaking poor English asked for an autograph. Blaineley, assuming it was her began to respond to the request, when he pushed his pen and paper to Suki. Blaineley had a look of confusion on her face, and the scene flashed to Duncan there with a confused face.

"Is that a couch?" asked Duncan, indicating the orange couch sitting there in the woods. In the surrounding area was bricks, chairs, and other various lobby-like items. A single sign stood, that said "Chris's Bed and Breakfast."

"Another one of Chris's crazy projects I see," said Heather. The two looked on the rubble and established they could use this to set up for the night. They called over their teammates. The contestants approached and began to make work of the area, turning into a fairly nice campgrounds. Bridgette began to work on the tent with Geoff and Courtney, while Leshawna and Heather worked on making a fire.

"Try not to burn down any tents this time surfer girl," said Heather. Bridgette shot her a look, but continued setting up the tent with Geoff and Courtney.

"Ignore her, she is a total pain," said Courtney.

"Thanks," said Bridgette, smiling in return. In the meantime, Katie was still trying to make amends with DJ.

"Thanks for like, comforting me the other day," said Katie.

"It's all good girl," said DJ. He put his arm around her, but the look on his face showed he hadn't fully forgiven her yet.

"Aww," said Lindsay, "That is so cute." She was watching the whole thing, as she picked up firewood for Heather and Leshawna.

The scene flashed to the Fox's food team, with Blaineley, Suki and Noah walking back to their campgrounds with their hands full of fast food.

"Hey Suki, why don't you speed up and get to camp quicker? That way they don't worry about us being lost," said Blaineley. Suki nodded her head and quickened her pace. Soon she was out of sight, and Blaineley took this as an opportunity.

"Look scrawny, something is up with that quiet girl, no one goes up and asks her for an autograph with yours truly standing right there," said Blaineley, "the season hasn't even aired yet."

"And you need my help why?" said Noah, in his usual condescending tone.

"I need you to help me figure out this girl's secret, you in or out nerd boy?" said Blaineley. Noah looked like he was about to refuse, before being intimidated by Blaineley.

"In," said Noah, losing his feeling of superiority. Blaineley smirked, and the two headed back to camp. Back at the campgrounds, the Foxes were surrounding the fire.

"No way," said Tyler.

"True story, I almost lost my arm that day," said Brick, revealing a scar on his arm.

"Ew, that is so gross," said Anne Maria.

"Like, totes gross," followed up Dakota. She made a gag noise, that caused the other contestants to laugh, even Jo. Suki was still holding her bags of fast food. The three handed out the fast food and the Foxes began chowing down.

"Fast food? Thank you," said Owen, his eyes twinkling. He quickly shoved the fast food into his mouth and made a farting noise that made the fire temporarily grow bigger. The Foxes all began saying ew as the scene flashed to the Phoenixes.

The Phoenixes were having a bit more trouble with food, but that didn't dampen their spirits. All of their spirits at least.

"Lightning need protein, this aint no protein," said Lightning.

"Oh hush up and eat," said Leshawna. She had gone out in the woods with Zoey to retrieve food, but all they could find were some berries.

"I like them," said Dawn, appearing between Lightning and Leshawna. Both their eyes widened, as Dawn conitnued nibbling her berries.

"Alright men and women of our mighty team, when the sun comes up tomorrow, I suggest we race to the finish, catch those rodents off guard," said Alejandro, using his "inspirational speaker" voice. The contestants began laughing.

"Look dude, we aren't going to fall for your 'we are one' act, I watched World Tour," said Zoey, giggling.

"No, I think that is actually a good idea," said Trent. The contestants looked at Trent shocked, paritcularly Gwen. Alejandro grinned, hoping that Trent sticking up for him raised people's trust in him. Joe sat in the back watching the whole discussion. He decided laying low in this challenge was his best bet. There was enough conflict already planted from the previous four seasons that if he stayed out of it he would make it far enough to truly make a move. He notioned that Scott come over and join him, but Scott, who was now sitting next to Dawn, pretended not to see him.

"Look creepy girl, I shouldn't be telling you this, and it is purely gameplay, but-" he began, before Joe came and dragged him away.

"What do you think you are doing?" said Joe.

"What do you mean?" said Scott, trying to sound innocent.

"What did I tell you about feelings? You cannot let them get in the way of the game," said Joe. Scott ignored him and walked back to the fire, which caused anger to visibly take over Joe.

Remember, stay low, thought Joe to himself. The scene flashed to the other Jo, who looked equally as angry.

"You ate the rest of our food?" said Jo, anger seething from her voice. The rest of the contestants were all shooting Owen except for a few.

"Look how big the guy is, what do you expect?" said Geoff.

"But I didn't eat the rest of the food I promise," said Owen. He then burped, which definitely didn't help his case.

"I believe Big O, I mean one time, I was being chased by the RCMP right? And I had to live off of berries for like, three straight days, and when I finally found food I chowed down, but the restaurant owner got mad at me because I 'couldn't pay', but I..." rambled Izzy.

"And how is that related?" asked Tyler.

"Well Owen didn't eat the food!" said Izzy. The rest of the contestants stood there looking confused, as Izzy's story made zero sense.

"You are dead fatso," said Anne Maria, glaring at Owen. The contestants all settled down to go to sleep, as did the Phoenixes. In the early morning, Duncan woke up and woke the rest of the Phoenixes up.

"It's time, let's do this y'all," said Leshawna. The contestants all began sprinting in the direction of the camp. They sprinted right through the Fox's campgrounds, waking up all the Foxes. In a startled state, the Foxes got up and began sprinting as well. It was an all-out foot race back to camp, with the Phoenixes pulling ahead and getting the win.

"And the Phoenixes win!" said Chris, raising his hands in the air.

"Foxes, see you at elimination," he followed up. The day continued as the Foxes all discussed who to eliminate. There was a montage of different alliances speaking (namely Dakota's and Blaineley's), as well as other contestants nodding their heads and speaking about elimination. Finally, night fell, and the elimination ceremony was held.

"Alright, as you all know, I have fourteen marshmallows left on this plate. There are fifteen of you, and one of you will be going home tonight. Our first safe is, Dakota," said Chris. He threw the marshmallow to Dakota, who caught it.

"Booyah!" cheered Sam, and Dakota blushed.

"Thanks for that Sam," said Chris sarcasitcally, "but sadly you are also safe."

'Double boo-yah!" cheered Sam again. He caught his marshmallow happily.

"Jo, Brick, you two faux love-bird enemy couple whatever you are, you are also safe," said Chris. Both looked ready to protest, but stopped when Chris continued.

"Blaineley, sadly you are also safe, as is Anne Maria," said Chris, tossing the two ladies their marshmallows.

"That is what I'm talkin' about, gimme that," said Anne Maria, arms stretched as she caught her marshmallow. Blaineley just sat with her legs crossed, smirking.

"Tyler, Cody, and Noah, you three are also safe," said Chris.

"Yes!" cheered Cody.

"Oh yeah!" followed up Tyler. Noah just smiled as the marshmallow landed in his lap.

"Sierra and Geoff, you two giraffes are safe as well," said Chris.

"Sweet," said Geoff calmly. Sierra grabbed her marshmallow and then rushed over to give Cody a crushing hug. Cody was suffocating, causing Noah to chuckle.

"Mike, you are the last of those who didn't receive votes, congratulations," said Chris, throwing Mike his marshmallow.

"Yes! I can see Zoey again," said Mike.

"Typical," said Anne Maria, blowing the hair out her face.

"Suki, Izzy, Owen, the three of you all received votes tonight. Lucky for Suki, she didn't receive enough to be in the bottom two, here is your marshmallow," said Chris, tossing Suki a marshmallow. She had transformed from visibly nervous to calm once Chris announced that.

"Owen, Izzy, one of you two is going home tonight. The final marshmallow is going to...

...................................................Izzy," said Chris.

"Not Owen," said Izzy, upset.

"Wha-, Why?" said Owen, clearly in shock.

"You ate all of our food bud," said Mike, "we didn't have much of a choice."

"Even you guys voted against me?" asked Owen, directing the question to Dakota, Mike and Cody.

"Sorry," said Dakota, only half interested.

"I didn't even eat the food," said Owen. Blaineley sat there smirking at Owen.

"It- It was you?" said Owen.

"Me? That's ridiculous," said Blaineley.

"You stole the food, it was you," accused Owen.

"He's crazy," defended Anne Maria.

"I-" began Owen, before Chris, Chef and three interns took him down the dock of shame.

"I didn't get to say my goodbyes! Goodbye Izzy, I'll miss you! And my little buddy Noah, and Mr. Coconut, wherever you are, and-" rambled Owen, as he was tossed into the Boat of Losers.

"I'll miss you big guy," said Noah, standing at the edge of the dock with Izzy and Geoff.

"Sorry dude, you definitely will be missed," said Geoff. Izzy just waved, as the boat took the first ever Total Drama winner off into the distance. It began to snow heavily, so the contestants were brought back to the cabins.

Blaineley (CONF): Yes! *punches fist in the air* My plan worked, I am so owning this game. Beth and Owen gone, easy as pie. Cameron is gone from the other team too. That just leaves Lightning, Duncan, Heather, Gwen and Alejandro. Anyone who made it to the final two is obviously who you go for first. Bye-bye suckers

Chapter 12: The Blizzard
"Last time on Total Drama Explosion, our remaining campers were dropped off in the middle of the forest with no supplies, their goal was to find their way back to camp. Lucky for the Foxes, they found our secret wall, someone is going to have to pay for that, but anywho that means they got food, also the Phoenixes found my construction site, so they hit the jackpot as well. In the end, Blainely framed our buddy Owen, causing him to get the boot. Now, with a quarter of our contestants gone, things are going to be stepped up, will our contestants make it? Find out right now on Total Drama...Explosion!" said Chris. He was standing outside of the cabins, bundled up in winter clothes, as a brutal wind whipped snow everywhere.

"I can't believe this is the last Total Drama season, in the back of my mind I always figured there would be more, ever since Total Drama Action," said Trent, "it's totally a bummer."

"A bummer? Ha. It's a bummer I'm cramped up in this cabin with you people," said Scott.

"Feel free to go outside the," said Lightning, opening the window. A squirrel completely encased in ice flew through the window. As it hit the ground, the ice broke, and the squirrel scampered back outside. Lightning tired to close it, but couldn't due to the intense winds, so the other male Phoenixes went to help him out.

"This is ridiculous," said Duncan, pulling down on the window with all his strength, "I already won a season." Finally, the boys managed to close the window.

"But didn't you end up using all your money on that Brittney case?" said Trent, snickering.

"Don't even," said Duncan. The scene flashed to the girl's side of the cabin, with Zoey holding up Leshawna's bra.

"Um, I am guessing this is yours," said Zoey, holding it by the tip and covering her nose with her other hand.

"Thanks homegirl," said Leshawna, grabbing it and stuffing it into her suitcase with her other clothes.

"Duh it's hers, Leshawna's the only one who could fit her junk into that giant bra," said Heather.

"Don't be jealous of my lucious lady lumps," said Leshawna. Courtney, Gwen and Bridgette all snickered as Heather turned red.

"Heather, I really think it's time you stop being mean to LeFawnduh, like, it's like, really mean," said Lindsay.

"Shut it, Lindsiot," said Heather. Lindsay looked discouraged, but Bridgette put a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't listen to her, she is just bitter that she lost her money from World Tour to Ezekiel," said Bridgette.

"Don't even bring that up," said Heather, immediately turning around after hearing Bridgette's consolence, "That money was mine, I won it, for once fair and square."

"She is genuinely upset, I can tell by her aura, let's just focus on getting along and not losing any more challenges," said Dawn. The girls came to a silent agreement, as the scene flashed to the girls in the Fox cabin.

"And three and four and..." said Jo, as she was doing jumping jacks.

"Why are you working out psycho?" asked Anne Maria.

"Well let's see, you got what place in the competition last time? Yeah, that's what I thought," said Jo. Dakota was sitting on her bed texting, and Sierra was typing a tweeter update on her laptop.

"Chris let you bring a laptop?" asked Dakota, surprised, "last season, he took everyone's electronics."

"Err well, he doesn't really know it's here," said Sierra. The scene flashed to Chris sitting in the warmth of his cabin. His phone buzzed, as he had wired all tweeter mentions of him to go directly to his phone.

Sierra (Tweeter Update): Chris Mclean doesn't even know my lap top is here. LOL. Wish me luck guys. #TeamCody

"Sierra..." said Chris, his face steaming red. Back at the girl's side of the Fox cabin, they are sitting there talking when Chef bursts through the window. He grabs Dakota's phone, and Sierra's laptop, and sprints back towards the window. Izzy tries to stop him with a karate chop, but Chef avoids the swing with a sommersault and dives back outside.

"Well, those didn't last very long," said Izzy. She began laughing hysterically, and the other contestants looked worried.

Sierra (CONF): I love Izzy and all, I mean if it wasn't for her allowing me to swap teams, I totally wouldn't be BFF's with Cody right now, but I'm scared

"So what is-" began Dakota, before abruptly stopping as the earth shook. Suddenly, the lights and heat went off in both cabins. A montage of the contestants looking around their cabins for the source of the problem was shown, but none of the contestants came up with anything.

"Lightning don't do cold, it makes my muscles stiff," said Lightning, frantically rubbing his muscles.

"Yeah this is not cool," said Trent, wrapping his arms around himself. Duncan pulled out his lighter and started a small fire in the middle of the room.

"Ooh nice job deliquent boy, now we can all catch on fire, smart one," said Joe, stepping on the fire. The fire was crushed under Joe's shoe.

"That's it," said Duncan, standing up. He dove at Joe, but DJ and Trent came and separated them.

"Y'all need to calm down," said DJ, "let's just go figure out what is up." The Phoenix boys walked out of their cabin and over to the girl's side. By the time they got over there, they were all shivering violently, with pale blue faces.

"What happened to y'all?" said Leshawna.

"Don't go outside," replied Trent.

"Chris won't actually leave us here to die will he?" said Bridgette.

"He came close with that radioactive mine," said Zoey.

"Good point," replied Bridgette.

The Fiery Phoenixes huddled together for warmth, but it wasn't helping their scenario.

"Alright, I say we go get the Foxes," said Courtney.

"What? Let those losers handle themselves," replied Heather.

"No she is right, I can sense their auras, they are in danger as well," said Dawn. She was curled up next to Scott, who seemed to constantly switch between enjoying it and warily eyeing Joe, who openly dissaproved. The scene flashed to the girl's side of the Fox's cabin. The boys on the Frozen Foxes had a similar idea to the boys on the Phoenixes, as they had come over to huddle together for warmth on the girl's side as well.

"Can I just say our team name is really ironic right now," said Sam. Dakota was huddled up next to Sam on one side, and Izzy was on the other side.

"Thank you captain obvious," replied Noah. He was next to Cody, grabbing onto eachother with Sierra grabbing onto them both.

"I gotta see Bridge," said Geoff, "I can't die without seeing her again."

"No way soldier, too risky," replied Brick.

"I agree with Captain Sprinkle over there, no way jose," said Jo.

"I have to," said Geoff through chattering teeth.

"I agree, I have to see Zoey," said Mike.

"But you have me here baby," said Anne Maria, snuggling closer to Mike.

"I have-" retorted Mike, before he was interrupted by another shake.

"What the?" said Suki. As she said that, Blaineley shot her a look, which Suki was oblivious too.

Blaineley (CONF): I will figure out what she is up to, it's just a matter of when

"Alright contestants," said Chris, coming over an intercom system, "I don't have much time, as you can tell, the power is out, this intercom is running on our one back-up generator, it is for emergencies, and the loving audience of Total Drama hearing my voice is definitely an emergency. This is not a challenge, you are-" The intercom went silent. The scene flashed to both teams looking at the silent intercom speaker in their respective cabins.

"Was that straight up?" asked Leshawna.

"I can't tell, I am not near enough to Chris," replied Dawn. A third shake followed.

"Alright it is settled, we are going to get the Foxes," said Courtney.

"And who decided that princess?" asked Duncan. Courtney immediately turned and got right in his face.

"If you think you have any right to call me princess you are strongly mistaken," said Courtney. Gwen looked on with a look of guilt on her face, and Heather looked on with a smirk.

"Alright guys let's just take it easy," said Bridgette. She began to walk over to them, but tripped and fell on top of Alejandro.

"Well hello," said Alejandro, who was holding Heather in his arms. Heather stared angrily at the surfer girl.

"Oh don't even," said Bridgette, quickly getting up and sitting over by Lindsay. Heather closed her eyes happily, but quickly realized it was Alejandro she was cuddling up to and jerked away.

"I think Courtney is right, like, what if I don't get to see Beth before I die," said Lindsay.

"Beth is eliminated, remember?" said Trent. Lindsay had a sad look in her eyes, so Trent halted any follow up comments.

"Beth is gone, Tyler is gone, this is horrible," said Lindsay.

"Tyler is still in," replied Gwen.

"Wait, I'm confused," said Lindsay.

"I can't take it! I would rather freeze to death then sit here with you people," yelled Joe. He got up and stormed outside. Courtney got up and motioned for the contestants to follow. As they were walking outside, they saw the Foxes walking towards them.

"Bridgette!" said Geoff, in unison with Mike.

"Zoey!" said Mike, in unison with Geoff. The two ran over and hugged their respective girlfriends. Tyler came over and hugged Lindsay, who had a puzzled look on her face, but then remembered it was Tyler and smiled.

"Tyson!" said Lindsay, "I am so glad you returned to the game." Anne Maria ran up and hugged Mike and Zoey. The two looked angry, but Anne Maria was not going to let the two have a moment.

"Alright, why is she in our alliance again?" whispered Sierra to Jo.

"Your what?" replied Noah.

"Uh...nothing," said Sierra, "oops." Jo face palmed, and Sierra walked over and hugged Cody nervously.

"Help me," she said, with Cody tight in her arms.

Cody (CONF): Ok, so sure Sierra is creepy, a stalker, and kind of weird, but she has always been there for me, so if she needs help I am willing

"So please fill me in more about this little alliance of yours," said Noah, stepping up to Jo.

"As if I'm going to tell you scrawny," replied Jo. Noah turned around, as if preparing to make an announcement to the whole team until Jo picked him up by his collar.

"Alliance or not, you spill this to the team and I will make sure you are the next to go," said Jo. Noah whimpered, and reluctantly motioned he would keep his mouth shut. The contestants all formed one big huddled as the blizzard intensified and the temperature shot down.

"Alright we have to h-help them," said Chris, from inside the craft servies tent. His eyes were locked on the thermometer. He was huddled with Chef and a few interns.

"Since w-when do you care?" said Chef.

"I d-don't, but I don't want little miss l-lawsuit to strike again," replied Chris. The two reached a silent agreement and headed out into the storm to save the contestants.

"Alright as a CIT I know exactly what to do in t-this situation," said Courtney. She began drawing in the snow a gameplan for them, that surprisingly made sense.

"S-since when did you actually know what you were doing?" said Leshawna.

"O-oh this was in a horror movie, what we need to do is form a r-ring facing out, not only for warmth but in case whatever is causing that shaking c-comes a-after us," said Gwen.

"Let's do it," said Bridgette, in Geoff's arms. She took a deep breath and stepped out of Geoff's arms. Zoey soon followed. The two coralled all the contestants into a circle. DJ kept the smallest contestants, Cody, Suki, and Noah, close to him, since he had the most body warmth. The huddle slowly but surely followed Courtney's plan, and headed towards the craft services tent.

"Why don't we just go back to the cabin?" asked Noah.

"Because w-we don't want to die there," said Lindsay.

"Blondie is right for once, we need to find Chris and demand he h-help us," said Courtney.

"Look over there," said Scott, pointing to a huddle approaching in the distance.

"Thank g-god you are alive," said Chris.

"Thanks," replied Lindsay.

"Not you, C-courtney, I wasn't about to have another lawsuit," said Chris.

"Feeling the love Chris, feeling the love," said Jo. The giant huddle of all the TD cast slowly moved back towards Chris's quarters. They stumbled upon a luxurious cabin, that had power. They all quickly rushed through the door and immediately ran to the fireplace.

"Your place had power?" said Brick, "Why didn't you share any? It was dark."

"Well about that, I had Chef set off some bombs to destroy the generator's connection to your cabins, and redirected it to mine so I would be warmer, and your challenge would be harder," said Chris.

"Well then why did you come and save us?" asked Heather, smirking. Chris looked stumped by this question, so he moved on.

"Anyways, since it was Phoenix's that created and executed the plan that got you out of the blizzard, they are tonight's challenge winners," said Chris. The Phoenixes all cheered except for Joe, who was looking forward to putting his alliance into action and voting off one of the stronger Phoenix members like Courtney, Gwen or Heather.

"That's how we roll," said Leshawna, hugging Bridgette and Gwen. She looked over and saw Zoey by herself, so she pulled her into the hug. Eventually, it lead to a group hug with all the Phoenixes except Scott, Joe, and Lightning.

"Ew, way too mushy for us manly men," said Lightning.

"Agreed," said Joe. Scott looked over and saw Dawn happily between Courtney and Alejandro in the hug and looked a little upset.

"Isn't that right Scott?" asked Joe.

"Yeah, yeah super mushy," said Scott. In the meantime, the Foxes had time to discuss elimination.

"So it's gotta be Sierra," said Noah, who was sitting with Cody by Chris's fireplace. "She clearly has some sort of alliance going."

"It can't," said Cody, with a surprising amount of force in his voice.

"Why not? Is your little crush becoming something more?" said Noah jokingly.

"I don't want to be in this game without Sierra," said Cody. Noah seemed a little upset, and the two made awkward eye contact.

"Pssh whatever, we can go for Anne Maria then, it seems like she is in on it too," said Noah. Cody grinned at him but Noah walked away.

"Yo Tyler," said Noah, "Help us?" As Noah worked on Tyler, Cody went to his former allies Mike and Dakota. They agreed on Anne Maria.

"Alright, it has to be Sierra," said Blaineley, to Jo and Anne Maria.

"You're right, if she goes blabber-mouthing about our alliance we are screwed," replied Anne Maria.

"Oh Brick," said Jo, turning around and walking away from the three ladies. Anne Maria went to talk to Izzy as Blaineley went to work on Suki.

"So girlfriend to girlfriend here, who are you voting for tonight? Because I heard that Sierra is trying to eliminate you," said Blaineley, putting her arm around Suki.

"U-uh I was thinking Anne Maria actually," said Suki.

"Ha. That's funny, Anne Maria was the one who told Sierra to not vote you off," said Blaineley, "just think about it." Blaineley walked away leaving Suki something to think about. The scene flashed to that night at the elimination ceremony. The blizzard had finally lightened up, but snow was piled high.

"Toasty," said Chris, finishing a cup of hot cocoa.

"You know what goes well with hot chocolate? Marshmallows, and I only have thirteen of them right now on my plate. Too bad that there are fourteen of you," said Chris, "but lucky for Brick and Jo, you two are safe." He tossed the two marshmallows.

"Thank you sir," said Brick.

"Cody, Noah, Suki, you three are safe as well," said Chris. He tossed the three marshmallows, and Suki seemed confused.

Suki (CONF): Blaineley had to have been lying, good thing I voted the way I did, if she had been telling the truth I would have at least been in the bottom five or six

"Tyler, Geoff, Mike, you three love birds are safe," said Chris.

"Yes!" all three cheered in unison. They had a group high-five and walked up to claim their immunity.

"Dakota, Sam, Izzy, you three are safe as well," said Chris. The three caught their marshmallows exicitedly.

"Finally Blaineley, sadly you get one of these," said Chris. Blaineley smirked and caught her marshmallow.

"You aren't getting rid of me anytime soon McLean," said Blaineley, lounging back and tossing the marshmallow in her mouth.

"Anne Maria, Sierra, one of you is going home tonight, the final marshmallow of the night goes to...

"What?!" said Jo, Anne Maria and Blaineley in unison. All three had gotten up off their stumps at the same time.

Sierra shot Cody a grateful look, but the looks Blaineley and Jo were shooting her were definitely not grateful looks.

"Looks like you are out girlfriend," said Chris.

"Goodbye Vito," said Anne Maria, running and jumping in Mike's lap.

"Come with me," she said.

"As if," said Mike. He stood up causing her to fall out of his lap.

"Well it's been fun everyone," said Anne Maria. She walked down the deck and hopped in the Boat of Losers.

"I will take boat over catapault any day," said Anne Maria, as it pulled away.

"Well that was a lame elimination, way too peaceful," said Chris, "but will it stay that way? Find out next time on Total, Drama, Explosion!"

Chapter 13: The Great Sled Race
"Last time on Total Drama Explosion, our contestants got all mushy and 'worked together' to save eachother from the blizzard, well most of them. Boring. Sure they managed to get out of the blizzard alive, but hey, a couple of casualties definitely would have boosted our ratings. Will these happy times continue on? Of course not, or I wouldn't be Chris Mclean. Find out right now on Total Drama Explosion," said Chris.

Theme Song

The scene flashed to the contestants standing at the top of the cliff. Snow was piled high due to the previous blizzard, and the contestants were all shivering.

"Why, why do you have to wake us up early," said Leshawna.

"Because, it's fun," said Chris, "so are all of you guys ready for today's challenge?"

"Yes. Woohoo," said Noah sarcastically.

"Glad to hear it," said Chris, ignoring the sarcasm, "Remember that bike racing challenge all those seasons back? That ended up booting the beautiful Lindsay?"

"Yeah that wasn't very fun," said Linday.

"Well we will be recreating that challenge, however this time we are using sleds. See your teams? For this challenge they are no longer," said Chris.

"So like, we are merging already?" asked Lindsay.

"No, no we aren't, I said for this challenge, got it Lindsay? You will return to your team in the next challenge should you still be in the game," said Chris. She nodded her head.

Lindsay (CONF): Oh my gosh, I cannot believe I made the merge

"Lightning don't get it, so we aren't merged, but we don't have teams just for this episode? That's just dumb," said Lightning.

"I think Chris is running out of ideas," said Gwen, "next thing you know we will all be voting for a Head of Household." Trent snickered, but stopped abruptly when he realized Chris and Duncan were both staring at him.

"Anyways, you will be building a sled, and racing it down the cliff. Last person to cross the finish line, regardless of the team, get's eliminated. If you get first you get a special reward," said Chris.

"So like, a merged reward?" said Lindsay. Chris face-palmed and just continued.

"You will be using the parts from this junk pile, good luck," said Chris. He motioned to a large pile of junk behind him, and the contestants headed towards it to start building their sleds. Duncan however, had a different idea.

Duncan (CONF): These losers are all taking their time with their sleds. Hello? Why not just grab something flat and go

"See ya," said Duncan, running towards the hill. He jumped up, slid the sled under him, and shot down the hill. He didn't make it very far, as he immediately crashed into a tree. Courtney burst out laughing as Duncan trudged back up the hill, head to toe in snow.

"Excuse me, did I say go?" asked Chris.

"Whatever," said Duncan, walking past a chuckling Courtney.

Zoey (CONF): There are so many people in this individual challenge, and I don't want any of the Phoenixes to go home. Well except maybe Scott or Joe. What worries me the most though is, what if Mike loses?

"Need help Zoey?" said Mike. He was holding two boards, some rails, and a rudder that lookes like it could be used for steering.

"Don't you need those?" said Zoey.

"No, you can use them," said Mike. Zoey blushed and took the supplies.

"See Zoey, you had nothing to worry about last season," said Dawn.

"Well you don't either, I saw you with Scott," said Zoey. Dawn seemed taken aback by the comment.

"I don't know what your talking about," said Dawn. She immediately gathered some junk lying nearby and walked away. Zoey sat there looking confused, but then went back to building her sled. In the meantime, DJ was approaching Katie.

"Wanna team up for this challenge?" said DJ, walking up to Katie.

"Is that like, even allowed?" said Katie, with a hint of hostile in her voice.

"He never said it wasn't," said DJ. The two continued working, but Katie seemed held back.

Katie (CONF): I am like, so ashamed. I ignore my like BFFFL's elimination for DJ, then ignore him for Alejandro, and I'm now accepting his help. This is like, so not what I wanted to happen

Leshawna was helping Lindsay with her sled.

"Look girl, we need to ally up," said Leshawna.

"Those didn't work so well for me last time," said Lindsay, remembering her time back on Total Drama Island.

"I understand, but that was Heather, and Heather is evil, and that is why we need to ally. Sooner or later she will be gunning for both of us," said Leshawna, "and she is the least of our worries, we are on a team with Joe, Alejandro, Duncan, Scott and Courtney. I wasn't worried before because we had such a big team, but we are already four members down."

"I guess," said Lindsay. The two fist-pounded. "Don't we need like, more people though or something?"

"See girl, I knew there was a brain up there, easy, we just need enough to take out one of the five villains on our team," said Leshawna, her voice still lowered to a whisper. In the meantime, some of the Foxes were teaming up as well.

"This is so sweet of you," said Dakota. She was sitting on a rock as Sam built two sleds.

"Anything for my lady Dakota," said Sam. Dakota blushed, and Jo gagged.

"Please, be a little more gross," said Jo. She was assembling a super-sled. Blaineley in the meantime, was trying to find someone to build her sled for her.

"Look scrawny, we need to be on one sled so we can spy on Suki," said Blaineley. She was trying to find an excuse to not have to build a sled.

"How dumb do you think I am?" replied Noah. He walked away and continued building. He blushed as he saw Cody working on building a sled next to him.

Blaineley (CONF): Noah and...Cody? What? There are so many juicy secrets waiting to be uncovered on this team. I love it!

Suki in the meantime, was easily building her sled. It was fairly large, slick, and looked built for high speeds.

"Ok how have those losers not voted out asian chick yet?" said Scott, talking to Joe. The two were building sleds side by side.

"Why?" said Joe, seemingly uninterested.

"She is a genius, athletic, and likable," said Scott.

"Well, you seemed to have missed this last time, but you need those players if you want your team to win. The more you put your own team at risk, the better chance you have of getting eliminated yourself. Even if you made merge, the chances the other team would ally up and take you out would be high. Your strategy was so flawed last season," said Joe.

"I...I had my plan, hey I got fourth," said Scott.

"That was pure luck, you were lucky for that team switch. You were lucky Dawn didn't out you before she got eliminated. You were lucky Lightning didn't win that car racing challenge, because then Mike, Zoey and Cameron would have easily taken you out," said Joe. Scott didn't seem to have a reply, and the two went back to building their sled in silence. Lightning, who was near the two, heard the whole thing.

Lightning (CONF): That Joe guy is harsh, I mean sure Scott is a jerk, but sha-dang, Joe says it how it is

"Ha, I know right," said Izzy, interrupting Lightning's train of thought. He looked over to see the crazy ginger seemingly talking to herself. Her sled looked like a death trap.

"Uh look crazy girl, you do know there is no one else over there?" said Lightning.

"Oh yeah I was talking to the sled," said Izzy, "yeah, one time, I was sled racing, and my sled started talking to me. It was like that movie with the talking car but with a sled. It was so cool."

Lightning (CONF): There are some people I just can't WAIT to be eliminated *begins counting on fingers* both Jo and Joe, Bossy brunette, Bossy asian, Crazy girl...

"So need help? Because if your lucky I will help you out," said Heather. She was walking up to Alejandro. She had her sled under her arm. Like Suki's, it was slick, but not as big or impressive.

"Ha. As if," said Alejandro. He went back to building his own sled.

"Come on, you know you want to," said Heather, placing her sled down next to his.

"What so you can vote for me again? Or maybe push me down another volcano?" said Alejandro.

"Hey I didn't even get my million thanks to Ezekiel," said Heather, "I am so glad homeschool is already out of here."

"Hey Alejandro, why don't you come help me with my sled," said Courtney. She waved. Heather laughed, as if the idea was impossible, but Alejandro smirked, stood up, picked up his sled, and walked over to Courtney.

Heather (CONF): Oh no. This means war

"Sure Trent I'll help you," said Heather, loudly enough for Alejandro to hear.

"With what?" he replied, confused.

"Oh you are too funny," said Heather. A look of confusion swept over Trent's face, but he went back to building his sled.

"I know you are worried babe, but it's nothing," said Bridgette. Geoff was following her as she walked to the junk pile for more sled parts.

"But he is so just...good looking," said Geoff.

"What exactly do you want me to do?" said Bridgette.

"Vote the jerk off," said Geoff, "I mean it was his fault you got booted back in the Yukon."

But we have bigger problems," said Bridgette.

"Like who?" said Geoff. His usually laid back features seemed tighter, and his facial expression seemed almost as if it did back when he hosted the Total Drama Action aftermaths.

"Well let's see, Joe is like Alejandro but without any sort of heart, then add Scott on top of that, and Heather," said Bridgette, "besides, he is useful to the team."

"Oh so now you are on his side," said Geoff, starting to tear up.

"I am not on anyones side," said Bridgette, but it was too late. Geoff had walked away.

Bridgette (CONF): Why doesn't he understand? There is no one pure evil on his team. I just hope he isn't angry

"Alright everyone, it is time," said Chris, "everyone line up." One by one the competitors placed their sleds on the starting line, which was a line drawn in the snow with a stick.

"Remember, first place gets a prize, last gets the boot. There has never been an individual challenge with so many competitors before so...good luck," said Chris, "and go!" The contestants all ran and jumped on their sleds. They shot down the hill, but some didn't make it far.

"Oomf," said Tyler, running into a tree almost immediately. "Stupid wildlife." He got back on the sled and shot down after the others.

"Oh yeah," said Courtney, who was in the lead. She stopped cheering though when she looked to her right and Suki shot past her.

"What the-" began Courtney, before running head on into a tree.

"Hurts doesn't it princess?" said Duncan, zipping past her. Alejandro skidded his sled to a stop and helped her up.

"Thanks," said Courtney, brushing herself off.

"Try not to get eliminated," said Heather, riding past Alejandro.

"Mike this is so awesome," said Zoey. The two were in the middle of the pack, shooting down the hill side by side.

"I know righ-" said Mike, before a stick caught his shirt, tearing it off. He gasped, quickly becoming Vito.

"Yo, where is Anne Maria?" said Vito, "And what am I doing on this piece of junk?"

"It's just a character, keep it together Zoey," murmered Zoey to herself. She then had an idea.

Zoey (CONF): I remember Cameron said something about me being in danger

"Help Mike," said Zoey, faking a cry the best she could. Vito quickly snapped back into Mike.

"What's wrong?" he said, barely managing to maintain balance on his sled.

"Oh it's better now," said Zoey. The two locked eyes lovingly, before quickly realizing they were in the middle of a challenge and re-focused on the hill. Dawn whizzed past the two, and Scott whizzed right after her.

"Come on aura girl, show me what you got," said Scott. He leaned forward and sped up, so that their sleds were side by side.

"Your aura is a white-ish color right now, probably because you are going to eat my snow," said Dawn. She also leaned forward and sped up. She wasn't paying attention though, and ran into a mutated squirrel scampering across the hill. She quickly halted to a stop and got out.

"I am so sorry," said Dawn, "you poor creature." She held the mutated squirrel close.

"Dawn, you are going to get eliminated," said Scott, who had also stopped his sled.

"I deserve it, look at the poor thing," said Dawn. The squirrel had comical x's across its' eyes.

"That is ridiculous," said Scott, "don't you need the money for some nature foundation? Why stop because of just one animal when you could be helping millions."

"You are right," said Dawn. She got back on her sled, and the two continued down the hill. Joe had witnessed the whole interaction.

Joe (CONF): Our plan was to get rid of Dawn anyways, why would Scott help her? Do I have to do everything around here?

"This is just like SSX Swii Edition," said Sam. He was giggling as he weaved through trees.

"I know right," said Tyler, who was next to him, "level up." He leaned forward and went faster. Sam laughed harder and also leaned forward.

"Video game fan I see?" said Sam.

"Totally, sports games are my thing," said Tyler.

"Come on soldiers, I don't want any Foxes getting eliminated," said Jo.

"M'am, for once I agree," said Brick, who was right behind Jo. Jo growled back at Brick, but Brick ignored it.

"No man left behind," said Jo. Her and Brick nodded at eachother and continued down. The scene flashed to Sierra, who was towards the beginning of the pack.

"OMG," yelled Sierra, ducking below a branch. She was weaving in and out of trees, when she spotted Cody ahead.

"Eeh Cody," said Sierra. She sped up to be next to the computer geek. Cody blushed, but matintained focus on the slope ahead.

"Good job little dude," said Trent, who was on the other side of Cody. Sierra, Cody, and Trent weaved in and out the trees, and suddenly crossed the finish line.

"Congratulations, you three are our winners," said Chris throwing his arms up in the air.

"First place," squealed Sierra, pulling Trent and Cody into a hug.

"I never thought I would win a challenge against so many competitors, sweet," said Cody.

"Oh yeah," said Trent, fist-bumping Sierra and Cody. "That doesn't make sense though. Weren't Suki, Alejandro, Heather, Courtney, and Duncan ahead of us?"

"I am sure they will finish soon," said Cody. Suddenly the three were blinded by a spray of snow.

"Done," said Leshawna happily.

"Oh yeah," said Lindsay, who was right behind her.

"Five safe, twenty-four to go, this should be interesting," said Chris. He had a giant parka on and was sipping hot-chocolate. Meanwhile, the scene flashed back to the mountain.

"What is that?" said Geoff, pointing to what looked like a pile up.

"Not sure," said Dakota, "doesn't look good though." The scene flashed back to the bottom of the mountain.

"Woo-hoo," said Geoff, pounding a fist in the air as he crossed the finish line.

"I would like to thank the little people," said Dakota, already starting her victory speech as she crossed the finish line.

"How did everyone get so spread out?" asked Cody, "this doesn't make sense." The scene flashed back up to the mountain, where Jo and Brick were standing by two broken sleds.

"I can't believe you made us stop," said Jo.

"We had to help Suki, and we did," said Brick.

"Yeah, you also managed to help Duncan and Courtney, who happen to be on the other team. And you also broke our sleds in the process," said Jo. There was a brief flash back to Courtney, Duncan, Alejandro, Heather, and Suki getting into a huge crash. Brick noticed, and asked Jo to stop. She refused, so he slammed his sled into hers and they went over. He dug out Suki, Duncan and Courtney, but Alejandro and Heather weren't in sight. The scene flash forwarded to the present.

"Well Chris never said snowboarding was illegal," said Brick. There were some long stretches of wood, "No man left behind remember?" Meanwhile, back at the bottom of the hill.

"Sick, high-score," said Sam, crossing the finish line. Tyler and Gwen crossed soon after.

"Wow, I actually didn't die, and that was actually kind of fun," said Gwen. Tyler reached up for a high-five, but Gwen just looked at it.

"Let's not go too far," she said. She went to go stand by Leshawna.

"Alright let's see," said Chris, counting the contestants, "that is ten, looks like we are waiting on nineteen contestants. Come on Chef you call that a foot massage?" Chef was massaging Chris's feet.

"What is that for?" said Leshawna.

"I caught Chef helping Blaineley with her sled.

"Seriously, you tried to cheat again?" said Trent.

"Oh shut up," said Chef under his breath.

"Awesome ride dude," yelled Bridgette, as she crossed the finish line.

"Oh yeah girl, you go," said Leshawna. The two high-fived, and Gwen gave Bridgette a hug.

"Done and done," said Duncan. Who was right behind her.

"Alright did we seriously lose to scrawny over there?" said Duncan, referring to Cody.

"Don't you talk about Cody like that," said Sierra. Meanwhile, on the mountain.

"Look we are lost, admit it," said Alejandro. He and Heather were walking down the hill, but seemed to go diagonal so lost where they were going. The two were cold, and it was hard to walk through the snow.

"We are close, I can smell Chris's nasty McLean brand hot chocolate," said Heather.

"Have any contestants not passed us?" said Alejandro, as Blaineley and Noah slid by.

"I haven't seen Izzy, Scott, Dawn, Mike or Zoey. But thanks to someone's awful steering, everyone else is ahead of us," said Heather.

"Are you crazy? It was you who ran into me," said Alejandro. The scene flashed back to something causing Suki's sled to become off balance and knock into Courtney's, which then knocked into Duncan's, Heather's and Alejandro's.

"Whatever," said Heather, the two continued walking down the hill. The scene flashed to Izzy, who was by herself in the back of the pack.

"Oh I know, those were the good days, but then I had to return to the game because Chris said I was a 'fan favorite' or something," said Izzy, "crazy I know." She was talking to a family of beavers that were trying to hibernate in a tree.

"I should probably get going, bye," said Izzy, hopping back on her sled and continuing down the hill. The scene flashed back down to the finish line.

"Thank you so much DJ," said Katie, wrapping DJ in a hug, "I like, can't even thank you enough."

"No problem girl," said DJ. The two were standing by their sled on the other side of the finish line.

"Wait you two rode together? Is that even allowed?" said Duncan.

"Eh, I never said it wasn't," said Chris.

"You really have to work on your rules," said Courtney, who was getting off of her sled.

"And you really need to work on not being such a stickler to them," said Chris, causing Duncan to burst out laughing. Gwen looked angry at Duncan for laughing, and Trent looked angry at Gwen for looking angry. Bridgette sighed at the situation.

"Alright fourteen of you are done, fifteen of you left," said Chris. "I really should have put cameras on the mountain." Chef was giving Chris a shoulder massage now.

"Mama always says you get what you deserve," said DJ.

"Just wait mama's boy, just wait," said Chef under his breath. He dug really deep into Chris's shoulder, causing him to cry out in pain and the contestants to laugh. The scene flashed back to the hill.

"Alright this isn't working," said Lightning. He was stuck at the top of a tree, and coudln't seem to get down.

"Think Lightning, think, trees make steak, Lightning eats steak, so maybe Lightning eats the tree?" said Lightning.

"You're stupidity is physically painful," said Joe, who was on the branch next to him.

"Maybe if you hadn't spent all that time sabotaging that asian girl, you could have built our sleds better," said Lightning. There was another flashback, to the building on top of the cliff. Joe loosened some of Suki's bolts, as well as tried to damage some of the parts she hadn't put on yet. It then flashed to the crash scene, showing Suki's wooden bolts loosening causing her to cause a huge crash. Back in the present, Heather and Alejandro finally spotted the finish line.

"It looks like almost everyone is there," said Heather, "looks like one of us is going."

"Dibs not," said the two at the exact same time.

"You won the other season," said Alejandro.

"Fine," said Heather, seemingly giving in. Alejandro grinned at his victory, and began taking the lead towards the finish line. Suddenly, Heather shoved him to the ground and began running.

"Sorry but I told you, I lost the money," said Heather.

Alejandro (CONF): Heather has betrayed me...again, Jose is going to shove this in my face just like last time

"Yes, looks like you are eliminated Ale-jerkdro," said Heather. Alejandro crossed the finish line and sighed.

"Uh, hate to burst your bubble here, but there are still twelve people that need to cross," said Chris.

"Oh," said Heather, awkwardly chuckling. "Yay."

"Yes," said Alejandro, throwing his hand in the air, "Uh Chef...what are you doing?" Chef was now giving Chris a hand massage. Instead of giving him an answer, Chef just shot him a look.

"Looks like you guys are stuck with me for another three days," said Scott, as his sled rode across the finish line. Dawn's followed right after. The day went on, and the only others to cross were Mike, Zoey, Brick, Suki and Jo. That left Joe, Lightning, Izzy, Blaineley and Noah. Suddenly, night fell, and only Blaineley and Noah had crossed.

"I can't believe you," said Noah, angry at Blaineley for unknown reasons.

"It's a tv show, the audience will eat this up," said Blaineley. Noah looked unamused. Cody shot him a smile, but Noah ignored it.

"Finally," said Lightning, who was walking with Joe, "the finish line. Looks like we are the last two. Sha-later." Lightning began running, but Joe tripped him.

"Hey that is unfair," said Lightning from the ground.

"I didn't say anything about being fair," said Joe. He ran to the finish line, upset to see Suki there.

"I...can't...believe you...sha-cheater...," said Lightning, panting.

"You people seriously need to learn to count, you two weren't the last two," said Chris.

Lightning (CONF): Note to Lightning, don't trust people with the name Joe

"Which means," said Chris, as Izzy finally crossed, "Izzy is out of here."

"Out of where?" said Izzy, "Sorry for costing us the challenge guys, time to vote someone out."

"No, not time, this was an auto-elimination remember E-scope/Izzy/Explosivo? You are gone," said Chris. A couple of the contestants cheered silently, which Izzy was obvlious too.

"Oh, bummer," said Izzy, "it's been fun everyone." She screamed and ran into the woods.

"Is that normal?" asked Zoey.

"You get used to it," said Gwen.

"Am I upset Izzy is eliminated? No! So what did Trent, Sierra and Cody win? Find out next time on Total Drama Explosion!" said Chris, "faster Chef." The camera zoomed out as Chef was giving Chris a piggy back ride back to the cabin.

"I hate this show," said Chef, as the screen faded to black.

Chapter 14: The Revengers
"Last time on Total Drama," said Chris, "our contestants were on their own for a sledding challenge. Some did well, but others didn't. Particularly Izzy, getting herself eliminated. Relationships were strengthed, and relationships were weakened. Trent, Cody and stalker girl ended up getting the win, and we are back at the movie set for our fifth game phase. Who will be around long enough for the sixth? Find out right now on Total Drama Explosion."

Theme Song

"Great, we are going back to the movie lot," said Duncan, who was sitting in the back of the bus with Geoff and DJ.

"Better than crappy old camp," said DJ.

"True," said Duncan.

"I love the movie set, I need to get used to it since I will be a mega star," said Dakota. She opened a compact and began checking her make-up. She was in a seat with Sam.

"You already are my mega-star," said Sam, blushing. Despite the awkward-ness of the statement, Dakota squealed with delight and pulled Sam into a hug.

"This bus is headed to barf city, population me," said Jo.

"I think it's cute soldier," said Brick.

"That is definitely not cute," said Jo, motioning towards the two. Sam and Dakota had begun making out.

Bridgette (CONF): I feel bad for Dakota and Sam, rookie mistake, relationship are too complicated in the world of Total Drama, I just hope Geoff understands

"Yeah girl, it happened," said Leshawna. She was in a seat next to Gwen, and the two bust out laughing. Bridgette and Courtney were sitting across from the two. Courtney heard Leshawna and Gwen laughing, and began a loud, fake, laugh in return.

"Bridgette you are too funny," said Courtney, nudging her.

"I don't know what your talking about," replied Bridgette.

"Ha. Stop it hurts," said Courtney, continuing the laugh. Leshawna and Gwen looked over, and continued talking about whatever they were talking about.

"Smooth," said Heather, from the seat behind Courtney. She was sitting by herself.

"Don't listen to her Courtney, she just is upset she doesn't have anyone to sit with," said Alejandro, who was sitting with Tyler.

Alejandro (CONF): I can't help but constantly make Heather jealous. Besides, Courtney is still wrapped around my finger, I don't know how, but hey, I'm not complaining.

"...and that's when I learned I could read auras," said Dawn. She was sitting next to Zoey, but Zoey was busy staring out the window.

"What's wrong?" said Dawn.

"I don't know, I miss Mike I guess," said Zoey.

"But he is still in the game," said Dawn, confused.

"But on a different team, so it's not the same," said Zoey.

"Well we never know what's going to happen with Chris as host, he switched Brick over, Scott and Jo, even I can't predict his actions," said Dawn.

"Thanks, that means a lot," said Zoey.

"Alright everyone listen up, time for me to tell you today's challenge," said Chris.

"So what's our prize," asked Sierra excitedly, rising out of her seat. Cody shot her a let him talk look, and she sat back down.

"Patience my child, you will see. So anyways, today's challenge is the superhero genre," said Chris.

"Haven't we already been there done that?" said Duncan.

"Yeah, that is when y'all turned my boy Harold against me," said Leshawna, referring to Duncan, Courtney and Harold voting Leshawna off back in the second season.

"Strategy," said Courtney, who was typing away at her PDA.

"Why do you let her have a PDA, but not me have a cellphone or Sam have his video games?" said Dakota.

"Because, Courtney is still laser focused on the game with it, you two get distracted," said Chris, "anyways, Frozen Foxes, you all will be the villains, Fiery Phoenixes, you will be the heroes."

"Oh yeah, team villains," said Jo.

"They are the heroes," said Blaineley, who burst out laughing.

"Hey, they are ratings heroes, as opposed to you boring group of losers" said Chris.

"Wait, I'm like, confused" said Lindsay.

"Today's challenge is simple, follow me to the city set," said Chris, ignoring Lindsay. the scene flashed to the city set back in the first episode of the first seasn. There was a new addition though, a giant skyscraper loomed in the middle of the set. It was real as opposed to the flat cardboard cut outs that represented the other buildings.

"What up with the upgrade?" asked Duncan.

"It's sick," said Tyler. he was staring up at it as they walked, and ran into one of the cardboard tree cut outs.

"It's for today's challenge," said Chris.

Zoey (CONF): Ok, does anyone else find it suspicious where Chris gets all this money from? Enough money to build a skyscraper, a sports car, a mansion, and get all those crazy animals he uses in the challenges.

"Heroes, your mission is to break into that building and get all the way to the top floor to save the damsel in distress," said Chris. He pointed to the top of the skyscraper, where Chef was wearing a little girl's outfit and waving a tissue at the competitors below.

"No season is complete without Chef crossdressing," said Chris, "Villains, your goal is to stop them. You will find your 'powers' in this pile." A giant pile was next to Chris, with assorted weapons such as a marshmallow gun, a plastic sword, a bow with plunger arrows, and boxing gloves. "It is first come first serve, you have ten seconds to get your powers, go." The contestants all sprinted for the pile. A montage was shown of a few of the contestants weapons. Zoey managed to snag the bow with plunger arrows, and Jo grabbed a foam bat. Duncan got a water gun filled with glue, and Brick got a marshmallow gun. The scene flashed to the contestants standing in a clump around Chris again, with their 'powers' in hand.

"All right," said Chris, "Heroes, you must start at the outskirts of the set. Once you hear the horn, you may begin. Villains, do your best to stop them. If you can protect the damsel you have kidnapped for fifteen minutes you win the challenge." The scene flashed again, this time to all the heroes lined up on the outskirts of the city set.

"Let the battle begin," said Chris, blowing the airhorn. The heroes began running towards the skyscraper in the middle of the "city".

"Take this," said Leshawna, who hit the unsuspecting Tyler over the head with a rubber chicken.

"No not Tyson," said Lindsay, running to his aid.

"Lindsay, focus," said Leshawna, swinging her rubber chicken at Mike, "This is actually kind of fun". Mike ducked, gasped and became Svetlana. He bounded back in the building, leaving the other contestants confused.

Scott (CONF): That is so unfair. Svetlana basically has superpowers. Mike shouldn't be allowed to have a weapon

"This is so cool, I feel like I am in Call of Shoot-y," said Sam. He had a machine gun, but instead of bullets it was loaded with little smoke pebbles.

"Take that noobs," said Sam, jumping out of the entrance of the skyscraper and shooting pellets all around. That left a smokescreen surrounding most of the skyscraper.

"You're going to have to do better than that," said Courtney, pulling out a giant fan.

"That is your weapon? A fan?" said Duncan, cracking up.

"Focus on the challenge Duncan," snapped Courtney, "at least I cleared the fog."

"That you did princess, and I applaud you," said Duncan. Courtney made a face at him, and Gwen began to get angry. She took her rubber duck cannon and shot angrily towards the door, knocking out Tyler for a second time.

"Lightning strike," said Lightning, running past the unconscience Tyler and bounding up the stairs.

"Take that," said Mike (Svetlana). He bounded up the stairs past Lightning and landed a kick square in the chest.

"No fair," said Lightning. He shot a brief bolt of electricty from the weakly powered taser he got. It hit it's mark, and shocked Mike (Svetlana) back into Mike. "Sha-sweet." He barreled up the stairs and took out Mike like a linebacker. Meanwhile, there was still a brief war going on outside the skyscraper.

"Take cover," said Dakota. She pulled the pin off one of the stink grenades she got and threw it at the Phoenixes.

"That's right," she said, as it exploded. Courtney immediately retaliated with the giant fan again, giving Duncan time to shoot glue at the feet of a few of the Foxes.

"No fair," said Tyler. He was about to strike an unsuspecting Bridgette with his plastic sword, but Leshawna jumped in the way with her rubber chicken causing Tyler to shriek and curl up into a ball.

"Thanks," said Bridgette.

"No problem girl," said Leshawna, and the two fist-pounded.

"Let's do this guys," said Zoey. She shot a plunger arrow up to one of the open windows.

"Where did you learn to do that?" asked Dawn.

"That last season did some weird things to me," said Zoey. Her and Dawn began climbing up the rope towards one of the upper levels of the skyscraper.

"Alert, alert," said Sam, his feet still glued to the ground. Jo looked out the window from the top of the skyscraper.

"What is it soldier?" she asked.

"Zoey and Dawn are climbing up the rope," said Sam, "and I am all out of ammo."

"I'm on it," said Jo. She popped her head back in the window where Sierra, Blaineley, Suki, Cody, Noah, Brick and Geoff were standing.

"Nerd boy, Party guy, you two go stop those intruders," said Jo, "Quiet asian chick, Scary stalker, you two take care of jockstrap who is charging up the stairs."

"Got it," said the four. In the meantime, Gwen, Duncan, Courtney, Bridgette, Alejandro, and Trent had managed to catch up to Lightning, while the rest of the Phoenixes were behind, making sure they didn't get ambushed from the back or sides. Zoey and Dawn were almost at the top of the line Zoey had shot.

"Sorry dudes," said Geoff, appearing in the open window. He used his scissors to cut the rope the two were climbing.

"Seriously Chris? Scissors?" said Zoey. The two girls began falling before Dawn pulled out her weapon, a propellor attached to a leafblower allowing them to boost up.

"How is that even possible?" said Cody, as the two shot past the window and to the top of the skyscraper.

"Oh no, this isn't good," said Geoff, "we have to warn Jo." The two began running up the stairs, when they heard a scream.

"SHA-LIGHTNING," said Lightning, using his weakened taser to stun the two boys.

"Sorry amigo," said Alejandro, using his rope to tie up the two.

"That was surprisingly useful," said Bridgette, giving Alejandro a high five. Geoff looked annoyed at first, but then Bridgette kneeled and gave him a quick kiss.

"Man are you lucky," said Cody, as the Phoenixes continued on. "Bridgette is such a babe."

"Yes, five minutes to spare," said Courtney, as their team reached the top. The unsuspecting Foxes began arming themselves.

"What happened to Suki and Sierra?" said Blaineley. The scene flashed to Sierra frantically untying Cody as Suki watched trying to urge her to move on and try and stop the Phoenixes.

"Cody, My poor Cody," said Sierra.

"Sierra, shouldn't we be trying to stop the Phoenixes?" said Suki. Her voice was timid, but there was a hint of agression lying underneath.

"Not until we save my Cody," said Sierra.

"Hello dudes, what about me?" said Geoff.

"Cody," said Sierra, ignoring Geoff's pleas. The scene flashed back to the top of the tower.

"You guys are outnumbered," said Duncan.

"We are still in this," said Jo.

"Get ready soldiers," said Brick. Suddenly, Dawn and Zoey appeared behind the three Foxes. They were now surrounded, with the damsel in the middle.

"So Courtney, are you going to just blow them away with your fan?" asked Duncan.

"Why?" asked Courtney, "Why do you insist on driving me crazy. Don't you hate me?"

"Yeah Duncan," said Gwen, "I thought you hated her."

"Look babe, you know I'm done with Courtney," said Duncan.

"Look," said Gwen.

Gwen (CONF): I hate to do this, I hate to, sorry to all those Gwuncans out there

"I can't date you anymore," said Gwen.

"What? Why?" said Duncan.

"For Courtney," said Gwen. Everyone the top of the building gasped, including the Foxes.

"He-" began Brick, before being stopped by Jo.

"Let them waste time," she whispered.

"Kissing you while you were dating Courtney was wrong," said Gwen, "it's plain and simple."

"Yo-" began Duncan, before being interrupted by Gwen.

"I'm sorry, there is no changing my mind," said Gwen. She walked over to Courtney, and Courtney looked bewildered.

"Are you crazy? You have Duncan all to yourself and you just throw him away like that?" said Courtney.

"Friends?" asked Gwen in a hopeful voice. Courtney looked hesitant, and fist-pounded Gwen without making eye contact.

Trent (CONF): No. Way.

"This is crap," said Duncan. He charged at the Foxes, knocking the three over. He quickly grabbed Chef, and began yelling for Chris out the window.

"Sorry," said Chris, who jet-packed in through one of the other windows, "but check the time." The giant scoreboard read 00:00.00.

"Foxes win, finally," said Chris. The Foxes cheered, including the ones glued to the ground back at the base of the tower and Geoff who was still tied up while Sierra was clutching onto Cody and Suki was gleaming.

"Phoenixes, I will see you at elimination," said Chris.

"Please," said Duncan. The scene had flashed to Gwen and Duncan sitting on a bench outside the craft services tent. "You are like, the coolest chick I know."

"You are meant for Courtney," said Gwen, "You always had feelings for her didn't you?"

"No of course I didn't," said Duncan, his face turning bright red.

"I knew it, I couldn't date someone who had so much baggage," said Gwen, "besides, Courtney would have come after me with an angry mob of lawyers eventually. I had to retaliate." The two laughed, and Duncan sighed.

"Well this sucks, I'm going to m-" said Duncan, before being interrupted by Gwen kissing his cheek.

"Save the pookums," said Gwen, winking. The two walked back into the craft services tent, where elimination was being discussed.

"Alright I say BFF part two is the one who should go, she probably wants to be with Sadie," said Heather.

"No," said Katie immediately. So immediately that the rest of the Phoenixes turned to her in surprise. "Not that I don't like, love my BFFFL, it's not my time to go yet."

"I think it's time," said Joe, "we eliminate aura reader."

"What? Why me?" said Dawn.

"You can read auras, you know how much of a threat that makes you?" said Joe, "come on Phoenixes, Dawn is the obvious choice." Dawn looked pleadingly at Scott, who looked like he was about to protest, but he couldn't manage to spit out any words. They heard Chris over the intercom call them to the elimination ceremony, and began heading to the Gilded Chris area.

"I hate to say it, but jerk-face is right," said Leshawna, who was walking with Lindsay and Bridgette, "Dawn is kinda spooky too." The two girls nodded, which worried Dawn who was walking behind them with Zoey.

Once the Phoenixes had reached the Gilded Chris area, something surprising awaited them. Standing on the stage were Trent, Cody and Sierra.

"What are they doing here?" asked Heather in her I am disgusted by their presence voice.

"They won last episode remember?" said Chris, "and their prize, is that they are the only ones who get to vote on who goes home."

"What?" said Joe, in sync with Scott who yelled "yes".

"And you didn't tell us," said Bridgette, speaking to Trent.

"Chris said I couldn't," said Trent.

"So without further ado, the first one safe today is Katie," said Chris. Katie squealed with delight, and caught the Gilded Chris award.

"Also safe, Heather and Courtney," said Chris.

"Yes," the two said in unison, as they caught their awards. They quickly glared at eachother, as Chris continued.

"Bridgette, Lightning, Scott, Alejandro, you four are also safe," said Chris.

"Sha-oh yeah," said Lightning. Scott's award hit him in the face, because he was too busy waiting for Chris to call out more names, hoping Dawn would be one of them. Fortunately for him, he was right.

"Dawn," said Chris, "Zoey, you two may enjoy the delight that is safety. Obviously Trenty-boy here too." He tossed the three their awards, and Dawn gasped loudly in relief.

"DJ, Lindsay, Leshawna, Gwen, you four are safe as well," said Chris. Leshawna and Gwen high-fived while Lindsay hugged DJ.

"Alright, that means either Duncan or Joe is going home tonight," said Chris, "and the final award goes to...

.................................Joe." said Chris. A collective "what" came from the Phoenixes sitting in the bleachers.

"Ha." said Joe.

"You guys booted Duncan over Joe?" said Courtney, standing in outrage.

"I didn't know you cared princess," said Duncan.

"Aren't you upset that you are leaving?" said Courtney.

"Eh, I already got my million, I knew I had it coming," said Duncan.

"How can you be so calm about this?" said Courtney, "You just lost your chance at one billion dollars."

"That you did, sorry dude," said Chris. He snapped his fingers and Chef came over and helped him drag Duncan down the walk of shame. Duncan made a "call me" sign to Courtney, who blushed at first, but quickly made a face once she realized the others were watching.

"Were gonna miss you Duncan," said Gwen, waving.

"Adios amigo," said Alejandro.

"See you guys," said Duncan, as the lame-o-sine sped away.

"That was a surpsingly calm elimination, especially since it was Duncan. Boring. Well, looks like another one bites the dust, who will it be next? Find out next time on Total Drama Explosion."

Part 1:
"Last time on Total Drama Explosion," began Chris, "the twenty-eight competitors still in competed in a superhero challenge, with the Phoenixes acting as the villains and the Foxes acting as the heroes. Chef played our damsel in distress, and the heroes had to rescue him. Sadly, they failed their mission after another Duncan and Courtney throwdown. Despite that, the elimination was a toss up since last week's winners Cody, Sierra, and Trent got to pick the person going home. They chose the deliquent, and despite being a powerful player in his previous seasons, he got sent home. Sucks right? Who will get booted next? Find out right here, right now, on Total, Drama, Explosion."

It was night-time on the film lot, and the contestants were getting ready to go to bed. "It's kind of weird being here without Owen, Duncan, Justin, or Harold," said Trent, who was sitting on one of the bunks in the boys trailers. "They made it so far in this season."

"Yeah well fattie only made it far because he got brought back, pretty boy because he was on a team full of so many losers that there was always one to eliminate, and nerd boy because he happened to be on the winning team," said Scott.

"I was on the 'loser' team," said Trent.

"Yes, that you were," said Scott, ignoring the resentment in Trent's voice.

"So, Gwen's single huh?" said Cody, nudging Trent, "you going to tap that?"

"I don't even know man," said Trent.

"At least she is on your team," said Mike, sighing.

"Dude, Zoey is on the other team, we get it, now get over it," said Joe.

"Hey back off," said Tyler. He walked up to Mike and put a hand on his shoulder. "It's ok dude I feel you. Linds hasn't been on my team ever, and we have been in three seasons together."

"Thanks," said Mike.

Mike (CONF): I have a good team. Sure I'm sad Cameron is gone, but I have Brick and Tyler, and don't have *begins counting on fingers* Scott or Joe or Heather or Courtney or Alejandro. I just miss Zoey

The scene flashed over to the girls cabin. It flashed to Gwen looking out the window, and sighing hard.

"Nothing good ever comes out of the film lot," she said, to Bridgette who was on one side and Leshawna who was on the other.

"I agree, I mean I got voted out first here, you know how embarassing that was? The guys back home never let me forget it," said Bridgette.

"Mmhm, I know right girl, I mean my home-girls back in the projects wouldn't let me forget my whole 'crying for the reward' ploy. Like they would have done any different," said Leshawna.

"Yeah, and first I lost Trent here and now Duncan," said Gwen.

"You did end it both times though," said Bridgette.

"Yeah I guess, I don't know, I like them both a lot, I just don't even know sometimes," said Gwen. Their conversation was interuppted by a loud squeal. The three turned around to see Lindsay in the corner of the room, her face pale. She was pointing to the other window, but nothing was there.

"Calm down," said Zoey, "what did you see?"

"There was a masked man in the window," said Lindsay, "and his fashion sense was horrible."

"I'm sure it was nothing," said Heather, filing her nails. "Do you not remember in Season One when Chris had Chef run around in a hockey mask?"

"Do you also remember there being an actual serial killer?" said Gwen.

"She has a point," said Jo, "and honestly, as the seasons go on Chris just gets crazier. You never know what will happen next."

"I sense a negative aura," said Dawn, feeling the walls, "all around the film lot. Normally I can't feel auras from far away, but I sense a large negative energy in that direction." She was pointing towards one of the walls.

"So what next? Do we like, go see it?" asked Katie.

"You go sister, I prefer my beautiful bod in one piece," said Blaineley.

"I think we should all go, strength in numbers," said Courtney. Gwen looked at her, but Courtney avoided making eye contact. Suddenly, they heard the guys scream and run out of their cabin. The girls ran out to see what was wrong.

"What's wrong? The darkness getting to you?" said Jo, taunting Brick.

"No, there was someone at our window," said Brick. He curled up into a ball and began rocking back and forth.

"Some military man," said Jo, "Alright here's the deal. I say we go towards whatever Dawn was feeling back in the trailer."

"What do you mean?" asked Geoff.

"Dawn said she felt a negative energy coming from that direction, I say we follow it, fifty bucks says it is Chris," said Jo. The contestants followed Dawn to the source of the energy.

"Urgh, I hate horror flicks," said Sam, "I really hope this isn't horror movie week."

"I agree," said Brick.

"Oh man up," said Jo. Just then, an owl cawed and Jo and Brick both jumped.

"This is like, so not ok Chris," said Dakota, "no one can see my looks in the dark, and the lighting for my paprazzi is all off."

"There aren't an-" began Noah, before being blinded by various camera flashes. Dakota shoved him out of the way and started posing.

"Alright, well that was interesting," said Noah. His hands were stuck out in front of him, and he was stumbling into others.

"We're here," said Dawn, approaching a giant house.

"Ok, how did we just miss these in the second season? First a sky-scraper, now a giant mansion," said Leshawna. The contestants approached the two giant doors, and immediately they swun open. Lindsay screamed, as did Brick.

"Welcome contestants," said Chris, who hopped out wearing a vampire costume, "to our Halloween special!"

"Wasn't Halloween like, two monthes ago?" said Jo.

"Yes," said Chris, "but I've always wanted one, so deal with it. Your movie genre this week is in fact horror films. Your challenge is to escape from this mansion, but it is haunted."

"Won't we know how we got in?" said Courtney.

"Not if you are wearing these," said Chris, pulling out blindfolds from his cape. "First team to get their entire active team out of the mansion, wins today's challenge."

"What do you mean 'active'," said Geoff.

"Active as in still on the team right? Not active as in like, dead," said Katie.

"Active as in still with the team, and not captured," said Chris. The contestants all took a step closer together in fear. "Or dead."

"Ha, cheap trick Chris, next thing we know lightning will strike and someone will dissappear," said Heather, "this isn't some Halloween movie from the 90's people, we are all perfectly safe." Suddenly, lightning flashed and the porch lights went off. When they flickered back on, Heather was gone.

"One down," said Chris, giggling maniacly, "oh and by the way, you have all been assigned costumes to wear, since it is Halloween." He passed out costumes to the remaining contestants.

"Why am I an apple?" said Joe.

"Better than mine," said Trent. He was dressed just as Chris.

"This is awesome," said Sam. He was dressed in a Call of Duty four army outfit.

"Good luck," said Chris. He threw a can of knock-out gas, causing all the contestants to collapse. "Yeah I lied about putting blindfolds around them." He began laughing, as he and Chef dragged the contestants into the mansion.

"Where are we?" said Noah, rubbing his head. He, Cody, and Sierra all awoke in a dark room.

"Mike? Tyler?" called out Noah, but he didn't receive a reply.

"I guess it's just us three," said Cody. Sierra was dressed as a diva, Noah as a book, and Cody as a giant piece of candy.

"Perfect," said Noah sarcastically. Suddenly, the door across the room creaked open.

"Hello?" asked Noah, the fear in his voice apparent. They approached the door, and it slammed shut again. The viewers could see something standing in the shadows in the corner of the screen, as the three inspected the door.

"Alright, well who wants to open it?" asked Cody.

"I uh can't, I am allergic to doorknobs," said Noah, rubbing the back of his head. Cody chuckled, and Sierra looked angry.

"I'll do it," she said, marching to the door. She opened it, and there was nothing on the other side.

"Well, that's creepy," said Cody. Suddenly, it went from dark to pitch black, causing Sierra to scream. The scream became Zoey's scream, as the scene shifted.

"This is so scary," said Zoey. She had ended up with Mike and Dawn. Zoey was dressed as a Native American girl, Mike as a race car driver, and Dawn as a vampire. "I mean, that's what you all think right?"

"This was the source of the negative aura," said Dawn. She was even paler than usual. She looked through Zoey and Mike, as if she was staring at something behind them. Her eyes were struck with fear.

"Why did I end up with you two?" said Mike, "we are on different teams. I mean, not that I'm complaining."

"That is pretty weird," said Zoey, "so let's try to get out of this night-mare." The three of them were in the attic, which was at the very top of the gigantic mansion.

"There's the door to the mansion, I guess we need to venture inside," said Dawn.

"Ready?" said Mike.

"Ready," said Zoey and Dawn in unison. The three opened the door and continued into the mansion. The scene then shifted to four dark figures looking at a different door.

"This is horrifying," said Tyler. He was dressed as a football player. "I guess this leads to the rest of the mansion."

"I agree," said Lindsay, who was dressed as a cowgirl. "Like, sometimes I just don't get why Chris is so mean." Suddenly, lightning struck causing Lindsay to scream.

"So what do we like, do next?" asked Katie. She was dressed as Sadie, so as herself. Suddenly the three heard a scream. They turned to see DJ, who was pale.

"What is wrong?" asked Tyler, "pull yourself together dude."

"I-I can't," said DJ, "there's something there man. There's something there." The chef-costume wearing jock pointed to the corner of the room. Lindsay, Tyler and Katie turned around to see what DJ was pointing at, but there was nothing there.

"Come bro, stay strong for Katie," whispered Tyler in DJ's ear.

"You're right, I can do this," said DJ. The four turned back around and opened the door. Suddenly, a giant quake shook the entire room, and all the mansion's lights went out. A collective scream was heard.

"Chris you are so dead," said Jo, who was in Brick's arms. The two had ended up with Suki, and were walking out of the room they had started in. Jo donned a Sue Sylvester costume, Brick was a flashlight, and Suki wore a bee costume.

"Quiet girl if you tell anyone about this you are so dead," said Jo.

"Be nice soldier, she is still a newb here," said Brick.

"I won't tell anyone," said Suki shyly.

"But I might," said Blaineley, stepping out from the other side of the door. She had started there alone, and was dressed like a witch.

"Hello, we are allied," said Jo, "but that costume is appropriate."

"You are what?" said Brick, stepping away from Jo.

"Oh nothing," said Jo, "you wouldn't."

Suki (CONF): There is an alliance on our team? That concerns me. Maybe lying under the radar isn't the most potent strategy

"Wouldn't I?" said Blaineley, "you know how I love drama."

"When I get my hands on you," said Jo, slowly approaching Blaineley.

"Girls calm down, we are all on the same team, we need to get out of here. Right Suki?" said Brick. He turned to see that the shy girl was gone.

"Suki? Suki?" called Brick, "no, another man left behind."

"Forget about her, what about us," said Jo. The walls of the room they had been standing in began closing in. The two doors were locked. In the background, a figure was seen standing in the shadows, but the three were oblivious to it.

"What the?" said Blaineley, "You are dead McLean." The three began screaming, and the scene shifted to what looked like a library. It was still pitch black, as Lightning, Leshawna and Alejandro awoke. Leshawna was dressed as a spider, Alejandro as a police man, and Lightning as a ghost.

"Ew, a library? Lightning don't do libraries," said Lightning.

"Yeah, and Leshawna don't do dying, so let's get out of here," said Leshawna.

"I agree," said Alejandro. There was something off about the normally-perfect stance and facial expression the latino normally had,

"What's wrong with you?" asked Leshawna.

"So dark, and so-so cold," said Alejandro.

Alejandro (CONF): Ever since Chris shoved me in that stupid robot, I have hated the dark. Of course I couldn't let my competitors know that. Why give them the upper hand?

"Nothing," said Alejandro.

"Whatever you say," said Leshawna.

"Let's move," said Lightning. The three headed towards the door when a scream was heard. The scene flashed back to DJ, Katie and Lindsay.

"Where is Tyler?" said Lindsay, "he got eliminated again?"

"No Linds," said DJ, "I'm sure he's fine."

"He was like, just standing here," said Katie. The three competitors began inching closer together, as they continued on through the mansion. The scene flashed to a master bedroom.

"This just screams lawsuit," said Courtney. Gwen and Trent were on the floor next to her. Gwen and Courtney were dressed as each other.

Gwen (CONF): Ok, of all people to end up with, it's Courtney and Trent? And I look ridiculous.

"Wait what's that?" said Trent, pointing to the door. There was a body that was halfway through the frame of the door. It was lying on the floor, non-moving.

"I think that's Sam," said Gwen. The three approached the body, and right when they got there it got yanked away. Suddenly, the two doors slammed shut and a click was heard.

"What is going on?" said Trent. He ran to the door Sam had just been pulled through, and it was locked. Courtney ran to the other one which was also locked. Gwen checked the window, which wouldn't budge. The three gathered around to formulate a plan.

"Alright, we need to get out of here, not just to win the challenge, but knowing Chris, to live, what's the plan?" said Gwen.

"I say we bust down one of those doors. It's Chris were talking about, the locks can't be that nice," said Courtney. The three proceeded to search around the room, as the scene flashed back to Zoey and Mike.

"Dawn, Dawn," called out Zoey.

"Dawn's been gone for a while now, I don't think she is coming back," said Mike.

"That's two teammates gone, first Heather and now Dawn," said Zoey.

"The only two that you know of," said Mike. Zoey shot him a look. "Sorry, not helping." The two were walking down a long hallway, when suddenly, a giant spider dropped from the ceiling and shot a web directly at the two. Mike gasped.

"And flip," said Mike (Svetlana), as he flew over the web. Unfortunately, this left Zoey vulnerable and she got caught.

"Well done crazy," said Scott. He stepped into the hallway, with Dakota and Joe behind him. He wore a rat costume, and Dakota was dressed as Dakotazoid.

"Scott? Where did you come from?" said Zoey.

"What's more important, is that Mike over there just ditched you," said Scott.

"He didn't ditch me, Scott I'm not falling for your tricks anymore," said Zoey. "I know you're just a jerk. I don't know what Dawn sees in yo- crap." She quickly put her hand over her mouth.

"What?" asked Scott and Joe at the same time.

"That explains everything," said Joe smirking.

"Oh no," said Zoey. Suddenly, Mike came running back down the hallway.

"So are you normal Mike or unfair-ly advantaged Mike?" asked Joe. His apple costume took away from the intimidating front he was trying to put on.

Dakota (CONF): I am so glad I am on the Frozen Foxes, if I was on the Phoenixes I wouldn't get any spotlight because they are all crazy

Dakota began to sneak away from the group, when suddenly she screamed.

"Dakota?" called out Scott. Mike freed Zoey, and the two and Scott started searching for her.

"Why do you care? She is on the other team," said Joe, "we need to get out of this mansion before were next." The group continued down the hall, when the spider returned, they all screamed as the scene switched to Geoff, who was dressed as a mummy. He woke up with Bridgette, who was wearing a black cat costume.

"Bridge babe, where are we?" asked Geoff.

"I think we are in some sort of kitchen," said Bridgette.

"We are alone you know, and it's dark," said Geoff.

"No, I can't," said Bridgette, "we are on different teams, if we get caught one of us will for sure be eliminated."

"It's not like our relationship is a secret," said Geoff.

"Let's just get out of here," said Bridgette. Suddenly, knives from the knife rack began flinging at the two. The two began swiftly avoiding the knives. "These can't be real knives. That would be crazy." Suddenly, a giant knife came flying at the two. Geoff pushed Bridgette to the ground, and the knife barely zipped above both of them. Suddenly, all the cabinet doors opened, and then shut at the same time.

"That was too-" began Bridgette, before the floor opened beneath Geoff and a hand dragged him through. Bridgette looked scared, as the scene flashed to the library, where Lightning, Leshawna and Alejandro still were.

"Alright, Lightning hates libraries, isn't this where like, nerds come to die or something?" asked Lightning. Leshawna and Alejandro both looked at him with confused looks. "What?"

"This is hopeless," said Leshawna.

"Maybe one of these books is a switch," said Alejandro. The two began pulling out books when they heard Lightning scream.

"We're not in here alone," said Alejandro.

"Duh, that jock with the big ego is with us," said Leshawna.

"Not anymore," said Alejandro. The two turned around and Lightning was gone. Suddenly, a shadow moved from the far aisle of the library. Suddenly, the house began to shake, and every door in the entire mansion flung open. The contestants began sprinting out of their locations towards the foyer. The two doors were wide open, where Chris was standing grinning. The contestants all reconvened in the foyer, and just as they moved for the front doors they slammed shut. Chris's face turned pale. Standing with him outside were Lightning, Suki, Dakota, Sam, Geoff, Tyler, Dawn and Heather.

"The aura in that house has darkened," said Dawn. The scene flashed to inside the foyer.

"What do we do?" asked Cody.

"It looks like we are down eight players," said Courtney, "let's try not to lose anymore." Bridgette was crying due to Geoff's dissapearance, and Lindsay was still looking for Tyler.

"Tyson," called Lindsay, "Where are you?"

"Look there is nothing we can do now," said Gwen, trying to comfort Bridgette. Suddenly, the foyer lights flickered on, and there was a hooded figure at the top of the staircase.

"Goodnight," said the hooded figure, "forever." The floor beneath the players dropped, and they fell through two floors to the second basement.

"Where is Blaineley?" asked DJ, "I am freaking out."

"And Cody," said Noah, "Cody is gone."

"How? Weren't we all here when we fell?" asked Trent. The other contestants nodded. "Well I guess we have to figure out how to get out of here."

"We have to get them out of there," said Chris. He was on the phone with one of the producers. "This was not planned. This could be great for ratings, but horrible for lawsuits."

Part 2:
"So what do we do?" asked Bridgette.

"I say we get out, as fast as possible," said Brick, he was shaking because of the dark.

"Pull it together, we will need everyone if we want to escape this creep-fest," said Jo. Suddenly the hooded figure appeared again, amongst the contestants.

"Good luck...it begins," said the figure. The already dark room got even darker.

"I am seriously freaking out," said DJ, "Chris if this is a joke this is not funny."

"I think I found stairs," said Lindsay. The sound of heels going up stairs was heard, and the contestants followed it. The contestants trekked up the stairs, careful to watch their step, and all of them had made it out except for Leshawna and Brick, when another disaster struck.

"Good work Lindsay," said Leshawna. Suddenly, she screamed, and her and Brick went tumbling back down the staircase. It is revealed that the staircase had become a ramp, and the door slammed shut. The last thing the contestants saw was the look of pure terror on Brick and Leshawna's faces. Katie grabbed DJ's hand, and Sierra began to hyperventilate.

"We're going to be fine," said Scott, "this is obviously a trick." Suddenly, a little child's laugh was heard, and a small shadowy figure ran amongst the contestants before dissapearing into another room.

"Do I have to bring up the psycho killer with the hook that tried to kill me again?" asked Gwen. She shivered at the memory.

"Gothie has a point, we don't want to take any chances," said Courtney, "So we know that twelve of our teammates are gone, four of them dissapeared after what appeared to be a lock down of the mansion. That leaves fifteen left."

"Fourteen," said Trent. "I only count fourteen."

"Let's see, me, gothie, dumb blonde, poser musician, surfer chick, momma's boy, jerk one, jerk two, uptight girl, red head, stalker chick, BFF, that spanish dude and Mike," said Jo, "Where is braniac?"

"Noah?" called out Katie, "Noah?" The others continued, but their cries were unsuccesful.

"How did that even happen?" asked Bridgette, "I swear we were all here a second ago."

"Everyone pair up, and do not lose your partner's position," said Courtney, "that way no one ends up alone at any point." The groups were Mike and Zoey, Scott and Joe, Katie and DJ, Bridgette and Lindsay, Courtney and Alejandro, Sierra and Jo, and Gwen and Trent.

"This is solely because there was no one else to pick from," said Gwen.

"I'm fine with that," said Trent.

"Alright, so do not lose your partners position," said Jo, "ever."

"Um, like has anyone seen Bridgette?" asked Lindsay. The contestants looked around and Bridgette was gone. Courtney face-palmed. The lights in the area flickered on temporarily, before shutting off again.

"Great, thanks hooded one, take one of the only sane ones left," said Courtney to the hall.

"Lindsay, join DJ and Katie, let's move guys before anyone else get's taken," said Gwen. The thirteen contestants found themselves in a maze of halls in the basement. Suddenly, a loud scream came from behind the contestants.

"What was that?" asked Mike.

"What was what?" asked Zoey.

"Didn't you hear that?" asked Mike. The other contestants nodded in disagreement. "I swear I heard a scream coming from behind us." The contestants turned to see an empty hallway.

"Should we investigate?" asked Sierra. She was gripping onto Jo tightly, which Jo did not seem to appreciate.

"Let's do it," said DJ, "In case it's one of our friends."

"Mama's boy grows a spine, that's a new one," said Scott. The scene flashed to the contestants who were outside with Chris.

"You have to connect me to what is going on in there," said Chris over a walkie talkie. There was a TV in front of them all, but it was static.

"This is bad, this is very bad," said Dawn. She used an ominous voice that freaked out the other contestants.

"My Linds is in there," said Tyler.

"And Bridge," continued Geoff.

"Hey on the bright side, it looks like we are the final eight," said Lightning, "Sha-Oh yeah." The other contestants shot him a glare. "What?"

"This is so unfair, why do they get all the attention?" asked Dakota. Suddenly, the TV flashed on before anyone could answer.

"Yes," said Chris, "we are saved."

"Um, how are we saved?" said Sam, "They are still trapped in there."

"Now if anything bad happens, at least we will have a ratings booster," said Chris. Suki looked scared, but the other contestants reacted as if Chris had told them something totally normal. The screen showed the thirteen contestants walking along.

"Thirteen? We are definitely missing some," said Chris, "Let's see, Blaineley, Bridgette, Cody, Noah, Brick and Leshawna are all gone."

"No, not Bridgette," said Geoff, "No!" He fell to his knees.

"Oh calm down, this is Chris were talking about here," said Heather, before pausing "Oh that is concerning."

"Are they seriously stuck in there?" asked Suki.

"This isn't good," said Dawn. She still had a trance-like look on her face.

"Six contestants, gone," said Chris.

"What's that?" asked Sam. He pointed to one of the TV screens. An evil looking red face had froze on the moniter, causing the contestants to scream. The scene flashed back to inside the mansion, where the contestants were searching for the origin of the scream Mike had heard.

"Nothing over here," said Alejandro. Him and Courtney were searching one of the bedrooms towards the end of the hallway.

"This is like, empty too," said Katie. Her and DJ had been looking across the hall. They were holding hands, but the other contestants didn't seem to notice or care. The rest of the players were standing in the middle of the hall, waiting for their two scout teams to return.

"Why are we listening to him? He has multiple personalities for heavens sake, there is no way his sanity is completely in check," said Joe.

"Hey, back off," said Zoey.

"Yeah, we would trust his word over yours any day," said Trent.

"Hmph, whatever," said Joe. He began walking down the hallway by himself.

"Hey, we have to stick together," called out Gwen, "Scott, do something." Scott was frozen with fear for an unknown reason. Gwen decided not to ask further.

"Good luck on your loser hunt," said Joe, ignoring Gwen's comment. He dissappeared at the end of the hallway.

"Great," said Gwen, "this is like the horror challenge all over again. I don't even have Duncan and Leshawna here with me this time." Trent looked hurt by the comment, but Gwen ignored it.

"Let's go," said Alejandro, "Lindsay, your with Scott now, let's keep moving. We need to find the others." Right as Alejandro said that, a TV screen fell from the ceiling. On it was none other than the hooded figure. In the background, the kidnapped contestants were shown tied up with ropes.

"Help," screamed Leshawna, "I'm too beautiful to die." She was right behind the hooded figure.

"Give it up Chris," said Alejandro.

"We know it's you," followed up Mike.

"Do you know?" asked the hooded figure, "you have twenty minutes to find me, or one of your own will be eliminated...permanently." The screen faded to black.

"A few years ago, I always wished I was in a scary movie...yeah I take that back," said Gwen. The remaining twelve continued walking along the path. Courtney looked like she was in deep thought.

"I think he's in the attic," she said finally.

"Why?" asked Sierra.

"Cobwebs, brown background, far from where we are, it makes sense," said Courtney. "If you don't remember, it was I who figured out Chris's message back in the second season."

"Yeah, that was back when Chris wasn't completely insane," said Gwen.

"Wait, why wasn't Joe with the other contestants?" asked Scott.

"He wasn't?" asked Zoey, "that could be a problem."

"Look a ladder," said DJ, "Finally we can get off this creepy floor." The contestants walked over and crawled up the ladder to the main foyer back where they had fallen.

"Alright, we don't have much time," said Courtney, "are we sure everyone is here?"

"Were down another blondie," said Scott, almost too casually.

"Scott, you were Lindsay's partner, you were supposed to make sure she made it here ok," said Trent.

"Hmph, what's it to you pretty boy? I'm surprised you care, it's not like goth chick got stolen," said Scott.

"Break it up," said Mike, "This isn't a challenge on the line, this is someone's life." All of a sudden, the chandelier fell from the foyer's ceiling, and the contestants all dove out of the way. Unfortunately, the glass sliced up DJ, and Mike's shirt got caught on one of the shards, so when he pulled out his shirt ripped off.

"Yo, what's going on?" asked Vito.

"Oh no, not now," said Zoey, "Mike, you have to snap out of it." She grabbed his shoulders and began shaking him, in the meantime, the other contestants were tending to DJ. Katie was crying, right by his side.

"I'm fine," said DJ, "just a little cut up."

"Omg, that is so not cool," said Sierra.

"That must of been a sign we need to hurry up," said Jo, "according to my watch it's been ten minutes." Jo's voice shook uncharacteristically. She was concerned for Brick, and the feeling of fear was foreign to her, causing her to shiver.

"Crap," said Alejandro, "Let's get moving then." The contestants walked up the main stairs, which lead to a hallway. Once again they were faced with a maze of halls.

"We don't have time for this," said Gwen, "we need to get them out of there."

"Tick tock," said a voice from an unknown location. The contestants looked around but could not identify the source.

"Was that over an intercom, from nearby, or have I just completely lost it?" asked Jo.

"I think it came from through here," said Courtney. She lead the contestants into a bedroom. Suddenly, the floor dropped from underneath Gwen and she fell down a few floors. She screamed, but her screams were muffled, and the sound of her being dragged away resonated throughout the room.

"Gwen, no," said Trent. He ran over to the hole in the floor but it had closed. "This is your fault. It's you isn't it?" He pointed at Courtney. "You hated her so much you were willing to sacrifice her."

"Are you crazy?" said Courtney.

"You did like, lead us in here," said Katie.

"You guys actually think I would do this? I am not heartless, maybe a little ruthless, but definitely not heartless," defended Courtney.

"Guys, stop pointing fingers, we need to find Bric- I mean the attic," said Jo.

"Look, a chord is hanging from the ceiling," exclaimed Alejandro. DJ ran over and pulled it, causing another ladder to drop down.

"Let's hurry," said Courtney. The remaining ten climbed up the ladder, to find their captured friends.

"I see you made it," said the hooded figure, "congratulations."

"Give us our friends back," said Trent. He looked over to see Gwen had joined the group of tied up contestants.

"Maybe..." said the hooded figure. "Or..." He pulled a scythe out from under his robe.

"Who carries around a scythe?" asked Jo. Suddenly, the mysterious figure lunged forward and swung his scythe, causing the rescue group to duck. Suddenly, they split up and a fight ensued. The mysterious figure kept swiping at the contestants, however the scythe was long and awkward, and the contestants were so used to the crazy challenges that they dodged the scythe without fear.

"Don't you hurt my Cody," said Sierra. She jump kicked the hooded figure.

"This is for Gwen," said Trent, following behind Sierra, he took a swing at the hooded figure.

"You messed with the wrong people," said Jo, picking up the figure, and throwing him at DJ.

"And now you're done," said Mike, "Joe." He pulled off the hood, but the figure was not Joe. Joe was in fact with the contestants but tied up in the back. His face immediately darkened. The hooded figure was none other than the psycho killer with a chainsaw and a hook.

"You again?" said Gwen, however it sounded more like "Phew Fafain" through her gag. DJ and Katie worked on freeing their friends, as Jo interrogated the hooded figure.

"What is wrong with you?" asked Jo.

"I...I am so ashamed," said the killer, putting his hands over his face. He accidentally poked himself with his hook, causing him to cry out in a mixture of pain and embarassment. The scene then flash forwarded to everyone standing outside the mansion, with the police carrying away the psycho killer.

"And with that, the Phoenixes win," said Chris. He raised his hands in the air.

"What? The challenge isn't cancelled?" asked Jo.

"Why would the challenge be cancelled?" asked Chris, "The show must go on!"

"He tried to kill us all," said Jo.

"Well...sucks," said Chris.

"Well why did they win?" asked Mike.

"Because, I said however many could succesfully make it out of the mansion, succesfully as in not get captured by me, or a psycho killer, that left seven Phoenixes and three Foxes," said Chris.

"That's crazy," said Cody.

"Well...too bad," said Chris. The scene flashed to dinner, which was just piles of halloween candy. Cody was practically in heaven. Joe in the meantime, was still angry from the accusation. He decided to try and take action.

"It's the only thing that makes sense," said Joe, talking to Blaineley "Mike's Svetlana is an unfair advantage, what if he learns to bring her out at will? At the merge, we will be screwed."

"Juicy," said Blaineley, "I'm in." Joe smirked and walked away, and Blaineley called her allies over.

"Alright Sierra, Jo, our next target is Mike," said Blaineley. Her two allies nodded, and began working on turning the team against Mike. Outside the craft services tent, Mike and Zoey were sitting under the stars, still in costume.

"That was brave what you did back there," said Zoey, "pull off the killer's hood like that. I would have been way too scared."

"No way," said Mike, "anyone sane who can shoot arrows at chef without getting killed is definitely brave. I'm sorry we haven't gotten to spend much time together."

"It's ok, we are on different teams," said Zoey, "besides, now I can make some more friends. Speaking of which, we should probably go back inside." Suddenly, Mike leaned in and kissed Zoey.

"Our first kiss," said Mike, "perfect." Zoey blushed, and the two stood up.

"Try not to get eliminated," said Zoey, as she entered the tent. Mike chuckled and walked back over to his table.

"Code red," said Cody, approaching Mike just as he walked in. Although the two weren't in an official alliance anymore, they still looked out for eachother. Dakota and Sam walked over as well. "News from Dakota says that people are throwing your name under the bus."

"What, why me?" said Mike.

"Your personalities," said Sam, "People um think Svetlana is kind of unfair."

"I can't control that," said Mike. "What do we do?"

"I say we take out Sierra," said Sam, "she is a pretty big threat."

"No," said Cody and Dakota at the same time.

"Why do you care?" asked Mike.

"Sierra runs like, the most succesful fan blogs ever, if I can get in good with her my popularity will skyrocket," said Dakota, "how about Blaineley? She is pretty annoying."

"Yeah, agreed," said Cody, remembering back to the camping challenge. Him and Noah had been briefly holding hands, he wasn't quite sure how it started, but it abruptly ended once Blaineley intervened upon the two. "Blaineley can be done without. Besides, I like living, and she will kill us eventually." Suddenly, the Gilded Chris music started playing and the contestants rushed to the Gilded Chris area. Chris was standing there dressed as a vampire, and all the Gilded Chris awards were dressed as vampires too.

"Welcome losers, I have eleven awards on this plate, and there are twelve of you," said Chris. "Our first one goes to Jo." He tossed the award to Jo.

"That's right, first!" she said. She threw a fist in the air.

"Brick, Suki, you two are safe as well," said Chris.

"Thank you sir," said Brick, catching his award. Suki caught hers silently, per the usual.

"Sierra, Noah, you two may enjoy safety as well," said Chris.

"Eeh," squealed Sierra.

"Meh," said Noah.

"Sam, Dakota, Tyler, here you go," said Chris, throwing the three their items of safety.

"Booyah," said Tyler. Sam snorted happily, and Dakota seemed to find it cute.

"Cody, you received some votes, but not enough to get you kicked off," said Chris, throwing an award at him. "Which leaves Blaineley and Mike. One of you will not be surviving the night, this last award goes to...

...............................Blaineley," said Chris.

"What?" said Mike, clearly surprised by the elimination.

"Sorry," said Blaineley, "had to be done." She was filing her nails, and didn't even look up when speaking to Mike.

"Can I at least say goodbye to Zoey?" said Chris.

"Hm let me think about that...no," said Chris, "Chef!" Chef came over and dragged a protesting Mike into the Lame-o-sine.

"Cody, watch your back bud, and tell Zoey I miss her," said Mike, as he was being thrown into the Lame-o-sine. It sped away, and the scene flashed back over to the elimination ceremony.

"So what was up with all those shadowy figure Chris?" said Jo.

"And that face," said Sam.

"And the child laughing," followed up Brick.

"I don't know what you are talking about," said Chris, "I'm sure it was nothing." The contestants returned to their trailers, and Chris returned to his luxury cabin. He held in his hand the tape to the footage on the various monitors. In various scenes, there was a shadowy figure in the background, and the film ended with a face popping up on the screen causing Chris to squeal with terror. The scene flashed back to the mansion, and as it zoomed out, a figure passed by the window, and the scene faded to black.

Chapter 16: You Can't Stop the Heat
"Last time on Total Drama Explosion," began Chris, "Our remaining castmates fought it out in our Halloween special! That's right, our first ever Total Drama holiday special. So it wasn't Halloween, so what? The contestants still got the chance to undergo chills and thrills, each of them even got their own costume! Their challenge was to escape the haunted mansion, but it was brought too far when our friend the psycho killer with a chainsaw and a hook came back to permanently take out the contestants. Mike upset Joe when he accused him of being behind the murderer, causing him to turn around and get the Foxes to take out Mike for his unfair persona, Svetlana. Sadly for him, Joe was succesful and Mike got the boot. This week, let's see how our twenty-six contestants do to win the grand prize of one billion dollars. Don't miss Total, Drama, Explosion!"

Theme Song

The scene started out with the girls in the girls trailer.

"No, no way, not again," said Zoey, her hands on her head. She was sitting on the bottom bunk, upset about Mike's elimination. "I thought things were going to be great this season, we were going to make merge, Anne Maria was going to be gone."

"It's ok," said Bridgette, trying to console her.

"No, it's not ok," said Zoey. Her "commando-Zoey" voice was slowly emerging.

"It's bound to happen, I mean only one of us is going to win," said Jo.

"How would you feel if Brick got eliminated huh?" snapped Zoey.

"I would celebrate, because there would be one less weenie for me to beat," said Jo. The tone of Zoey's voice angered Jo.

"Guys let's take it easy," said Bridgette.

"Yeah, will all be eliminated at one point, I mean hello, you are looking at the season three winner right here," said Heather.

Zoey (CONF): I don't know if I want to go on without Mike, but I know I have to, for Cam, for us

In the meantime, Sierra was analyzing the game with Suki.

"According to my fan blogs, this season is the hardest ever, because everyone knows eachother's gameplay. The polls say that now that Mike is gone, Zoey is bound to go soon," said Sierra.

"Why?" said Suki.

"Easy, something I like to all 'Just-Lost-My-Partner-Crazy-Syndrome', happened to Gwen in Total Drama Action, Bridgette in Total Drama World Tour, Zoey in Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, it's bound to happen again," said Sierra.

"Hm, I didn't realize you could psychoanalyze the Total Drama franchise in such a way, I guess you could cross reference the bodies and figure out everyone's playing style," said Suki.

"Interesting," whispered Blaineley to herself, who was sitting on the bunk to the left of the one Suki and Sierra were on.

"He was a good soldier," said Brick, as the scene transitioned over to the guy's trailer.

"Hello, he cheated, he had that Svetlana persona at will," said Scott, "it was like he got superpowers."

"Er I wouldn't call that at will," said Sam.

"Whatever," said Scott.

"You know, Dawn wouldn't appreciate that," said Sam. Scott immediately jumped Sam and put Fang's tooth to right under his chin.

"What do you mean gamer boy?" asked Scott.

"I may be a gamer, but I have played Harvest Sun and Animal Glossing, I have courted many women in those games," said Sam proudly, "they like it when you give them gifts, and be a gentleman."

"...Yeah ok," said Scott, backing away, "Maybe you aren't completely useless."

"Thanks!" said Sam, more excited than one probably should have been. In the meantime, Trent was sitting with DJ, Cody and Tyler.

"You have to go for it man," said Cody, "Duncan is gone."

"Yeah, it's time to go in for the kill," said Tyler.

"No, Gwen wouldn't go for it, I went totally crazy in Total Drama Action, I don't know what went over me," said Trent.

"Yeah, what was with that sudden nine obsession, you didn't have it in Island," said Cody.

"Yeah, you went a little crazy," said DJ.

"I don't even know man," said Trent, "I don't even know." Joe was on the bed above the one the four were sitting on, and he scoffed.

Joe (CONF): This is ridiculous. These contestants spend more time trying to match eachother up than competing in the stupid game. Hey, makes it easier for me.

Joe jumped off the top and began walking to the door, when suddenly, Chris yelled at the contestants through his megaphone loudly.

"Seriously, I don't know why I agreed to a second round of this," said Alejandro. He was trying to regain the ability to hear in his left ear.

"Good morning contestants! You are going to love today's genre, please meet me at the alien movie set in five," said Chris. The boys and the girls groaned and walked over. The screen suddenly flashed to black, and then flashed to the contestants standing outside the alien movie set. "So since I know you guys love breaking out into song, this week's genre is the musical genre!"

"The second world phase is like, next, couldn't you wait one more episode for a song?" said Heather.

"And why are we at the movie set? Lightning don't get it," said Lightning.

"Shocker," said Noah.

"You wan't a piece of this scrawny?" said Lightning. Noah squealed and backed away from a growling Lightning.

"Ah Lightning, so good at making friends, and Heather then one of you would have to miss out," said Chris, "wouldn't want that now would we?"

"So like, what exactly do we have to do?" asked Katie.

"I haven't said that yet, but interrupt me again and maybe you won't be the one making it to the next phase," said Chris.

"Hey man, chill," said DJ. Chris glared at him, causing DJ to immediately back down and add a timid "sorry."

Katie (CONF): It has been a long time since I have like, seen Sadie, BFFFFL's need to be together or else we like, die. But I have to do this

"So anyways, before I was so rudely interrupted, back to today's challenge. Your challenge is hide and seek. The Phoenixes are seeking, and the Foxes are hiding. Every ten minutes, the music chime will ring, and you will all have to sing a song. There are hidden cameras in each set, so we will see who is singing and who isn't. If you don't sing, you're out. Your lines in the song must reflect the theme of the set that you are at." said Chris.

"So how do we win?" asked Jo.

"You guys need to hide through three songs," said Chris, "So thirty minutes."

"What do we do if we find them?" asked Zoey.

"You have to tag them, thanks to our hidden video cameras, we will send over a team of interns to escort the player away," said Chris, "fun right?"

Bridgette (CONF): Oh no, not another hide and seek challenge, please don't let there be skunks. I am staying away from the animal buddy set

"So how are we all supposed to sing the same song, if we are on different sets?" asked Courtney.

"You guys ask way too many questions," replied Chris, "you parody the song to fit the area you are in. Got it?"

"Wait bu-" began Lindsay, before she was interrupted by Chris with a loud "GO!" The Foxes all sprinted away and the Phoenixes all closed their eyes and began their count. One three minutes had passed, the Phoenixes were off and the challenge had begun. A few of the Foxes had made their way to the Wild West set.

"Hm, that's weird, we don't have any Total Drama Action contestants left on our team, they were a bunch of losers anyways," said Jo.

"Um, excuse me? I competed," said Geoff.

"Oh you don't count," retorted Jo quickly. She began making kissy noises causing Geoff to turn red.

"Don't listen to her, I think you did fine," said Brick. Geoff smiled, but Jo just scoffed.

"I think I hear someone coming," said Jo. The three hid behind a mechanical bull.

"I think I heard some footsteps this way," said Bridgette, who was walking with Leshawna and Lindsay.

"Bridg-" began Geoff, before Jo quickly covered his mouth.

"Are you stupid? Come on party boy," whispered Jo.

"Woah, heavy," whispered Geoff, "let's just chill out. I just wanted to see my babe."

"Well your 'babe' is trying to eliminate you from the challenge, so wait until later big guy," whispered Jo.

"What are we going to do?" whispered Brick. Leshawna, Bridgette and Lindsay were all standing right in front of the mechanical bull.

"Idea," said Jo. She flipped the ON switch of the bull, causing it to go crazy. It startled Leshawna, Lindsay, and Bridgette, allowing time for the three foxes to slip away. They kept running, and ended up at the prison set. They ran through the courtyard, dodging obstacles left and right, and straight into the prison, where they found Sierra and Dakota.

"Really, this is such a good hiding spot Sierra, like wow," said Dakota. The two were crouched behind a table.

"Uh thanks?" replied Sierra.

"What's up guys," said Geoff.

"Like, Gwen and Trent ran through here earlier, but we haven't seen any other Phoenixes since," said Dakota, "there better be hidden cameras here so the audience can see my brilliant strategizing."

"Yeah, brilliant," said Sierra, the sarcasm in her voice apparent.

Dakota (CONF): Getting in good with Sierra is hard, I mean, can you say psycho? But she could be that popularity boost I need for total stardom!

Suddenly, Gwen and Trent came back, this time with Bridgette, Leshawna and Lindsay. The five Foxes dove back under the table, as the scene shifted to the Kung-Fu movie set.

"So why are we following quiet girl?" said Noah.

"To figure out all her juicy secrets," said Blaineley, "that girl is hiding something, and Blaineley Stacy Matthews O'Halloran always finds out."

"Oh, yeah that clears things up," said Noah sarcastically.

"Besides, you don't want me sharing your little secret do you?" said Blaineley.

"No thank you," said Noah nervously.

"Then let's move scrawny, we have a secret to learn," said Blaineley. The two followed Suki from a respectable distance. Every so often she would turn around and suspect someone was there, but shook it off and kept walking. Suddenly, Lightning, Scott, Zoey and Dawn came shooting out from behind a tree. Blaineley and Noah dove into the bush, but Suki wasn't so lucky.

"Oh yeah, Lightning strike!" said Lightning, tagging the quiet asian.

"Crap," whispered Blaineley from behind the bush. Suddenly, a group of interns scurried onto the scene, scooped up Suki, and scurried away. Cody suddenly popped up between the two.

"What's up guys?" said Cody.

"What are you doing here pip'squeak?" asked Blaineley.

"Well, not only am I hiding from the Phoenixes, I'm hiding from Sierra, I think she is going crazy again," said Cody, "so here I am."

"Well now that you're here," said Blaineley, but the scene was cut off and it switched to the mystery movie set. Tyler was crouching alone as six Phoenixes searched the perimeter.

"I swear I saw Tyler over here," said Courtney.

"Why do we need all six of us for one person?" said Heather.

"No one is forcing you to be here," said Alejandro.

"You all are a disaster waiting to happen," said Joe, causing the three to glare at him.

Heather (CONF): New guy clearly does not know how things work around here...

Courtney (CONF):...he totally thinks he rules this game, hello can you say....

Alejandro (CONF): ...wrong? What a poser

"Guys I think I see something," said Katie. She pointed over to behind a bush where red was sticking out.

"Good work amiga," said Alejandro. The Phoenixes ran over, but it turned out to be a chicken.

"A wild chicken? In Muskoka?" said Courtney.

"That gives me an idea," said Alejandro. Suddenly, the musical chime rang overhead. Chris's voice boomed throughout the film lot.

"Your song parody will be of the summer hit Call Me Maybe," said Chris, "remember, it has to reflect the area you are in."

Song 

"Bridgette," said Geoff, calling from his cell.

"What did I say about calling for Bridgette," said Jo, "if she comes here, we lose."

"I think it's sweet," said Brick.

"Hmph, whatever," said Jo. Suddenly, the five heard footsteps, and dove to the ground. The four Phoenixes ran by, but missed the Foxes who were on the ground of the cell.

"You are so lucky," said Sierra.

The scene flashed to the Mystery Set, where Courtney was holding Tyler by the arm triumphantly.

"Your welcome team," said Courtney.

"Thanks," said Heather sarcstically, "you found Tyler, real challening."

"Hey," retorted Tyler, but Heather ignored it. Suddenly, a group of interns sprinted in, knocked over Courtney, grabbed Tyler, and sprinted away.

"Well that was odd," said DJ, "Mama always said it's not nice to plow into strangers. Where to next?"

"I think this set is clear," said Joe.

"Yeah, let's move," said Courtney. The six jogged away, as the scene flashed to the Beach set. Where Blaineley, Noah and Cody had just entered.

"It's not even a r-real beach, and it's f-freezing in here," said Cody.

"Yeah, I know you two h-have eachother to cuddle up, but I don't do freezing," said Blaineley.

"This is k-karma for sending poor Bridgette to Siberia," said Cody.

"Whatever," said Blaineley. The three hid behind the fake pool, when Dawn, Scott, Zoey and Lightning entered.

"I swear I heard them come this way," said Zoey.

"Their aura is present," said Dawn, "this way." She pointed to the area around the fake pool.

"Nice work Dawn," said Scott, "those loser Foxes make it too easy."

"Yeah creepy girl," said Lightning. Suddenly, there was a sharp temperature drop in the room. Lightning ran to the nearest door to find it locked.

"What is up with Chris and cold this season," said Zoey. The four contestants huddled together, as did Noah, Cody and Blaineley behind the fake pool. In the meantime, the five Foxes had finally managed to break out of the cell.

"See were out, did you really need to freak out?" said Geoff.

"I will show you freaking out if we don't win this challenge," said Jo. Suddenly, Bridgette's voice was heard faintly in the distance.

"Did you hear that?" she asked Leshawna.

"I think it came from over here," said Trent. Footsteps began coming down the hall, approaching the five Foxes. They quickly turned and bolted out of the jail, running towards the disaster movie set.

"Quick, into the submarine," said Jo. The five hopped in and Jo locked the hatch.

"Perfect," said Chris, who was sitting in the control room monitering a ton of screens. With him were Tyler and Suki. He pressed a button that caused the submarine to begin filling up with water. The five foxes began to panic.

"OMG, I totally remember this happening in season two," said Sierra, "does like, anyone have any bendy straws?" The five patted their clothes but each had nothing. Sierra, Brick and Jo tried yanking at the hatch, but it wouldn't budge.

"I really hope that hatch up there is open," said Jo, the five looked up to see the hatch above.

"I guess we'll find out," said Geoff, as the water began to float the contestants slowly towards the top. Suddenly, the musical chime rang.

"Seriously?!" said the five at the same time.

"Ha, I love this game," said Chris, he pressed the button that turned on the intercom "You all will be singing the song No Air."

Song 

Once the song was over, Bridgette, Lindsay, Gwen, Trent and Leshawna had reached the beach set. Leshawna tried to bust the door open, but it wouldn't budge.

"That's sketchy," said Gwen.

"Agreed, let's investigate," said Trent. The five began going around the outside of the building, looking for a way in.

"Guys, I like think I found something," said Lindsay. There was a stack of crates that lead to a small window that was wide-open.

"Good work Lindsay," said Leshawna. The five began climbing up the crates, as the scene switched to the submarine. The water had nearly reached the top.

"Ok, I am seriously starting to freak out," said Geoff.

"Don't be ridiculous, Chris wouldn't let us die," said Jo.

"Um hello? Obviously you didn't see season two episode ten, Chris almost let them die there," said Sierra.

Sierra (CONF): I am like, Total Drama's biggest fan, being on a second season is absolutely amazing, these newbies though...

"Alright, well what do we do?" said Dakota, starting to hyperventilate. As the water rose, fear swept over the contestant's faces.

"So, so dark," said Brick, trembling. He grabbed Geoff and pulled him into a tight hug. Sierra and Dakota joined in on the hug too.

"Ick, lovey dovey stuff," said Jo. Despite that, Geoff pulled her in anyways. Suddenly, the light stopped flashing, and the water went down to the bottom. In the control room, Chris was laughing hysterically. This time, he actually could control the flow of water, and wasn't actually going to let them die. The hatch of the submarine popped open. The five sprinted out of the submarine, getting as far away as possible.Eventually, they ended up at the Rock n' Rule set. Suddenly, the two traveling groups were both running towards the set from each side, and Lightning, Zoey, Dawn and Scott had joined the group.

"How did you guys do?" asked Courtney.

"Three more down," said Scott. The scene flashed back to the other Phoenixes breaking into the building, and capturing the freezing Noah, Cody and Blaineley.

"We just need to get them before the last song end-" said Courtney, when suddenly, the musical chime rang overhead.

"Crap," said Heather, "Let's find them, quick!"

"You will be singing the classic You Can't Stop the Beat from Hairspray, good luck Phoenixes, if you don't find them by the end of the song the Foxes win," said Chris.

Song 

"And the Foxes win!" said Chris, raising his hands in the air. Geoff pulled Brick and Sierra into a hug, and Jo and Dakota both cheered.

"About time," said Jo.

"Phoenixes, I will see you at the Gilded Chris ceremony tonight," said Chris, "the last one before we move on to the next phase."

"Come on guys, we could hear them singing and we still didn't find them," said Heather.

"Well, we still like, had to sing," said Katie.

"Thanks for the memo, I wasn't aware," said Heather.

"Guys, the challenge is over," said Bridgette, "let's all calm down." The scene flashed to the craft services tent, where the contestants were enjoying dinner.

"I am telling you, I will lead this team to victory," said Jo.

"What are you trying to accomplish? You realize if you are captain and we lose, you would be to blame, can you say elimination?" said Sierra, "it's simple Total Drama logic."

"Which is exactly why we want her captain," whispered Cody into Sierra's ear. Noah, who was on the other side, heard Cody's statement to Sierra.

"Hmm, I didn't know there was a brain up there," said Noah playfully. Cody blushed, and Sierra growled. Nevertheless, she agreed, and stopped protesting about Jo's requests.

"That settles it, if no one opposes the idea, I am officially team captain," said Jo.

Geoff (CONF): Man, things are getting so heavy, electing a captain? I bet the Phoenixes aren't this crazy

"Yes, it is you who should be going home," said Heather demandingly, as camera panned to the other side of the tent where the Phoenixes were eating.

"Why?" responded Courtney, "you are the one who is prone to making people hate you."

"You are the one who lead us astray in the challenge," said Heather.

"I agree with Courtney, it shouldn't be her," said Bridgette, earning her a rare smile from Courtney.

"For once, I agree with Heather," said Leshawna. Courtney shot a look at Gwen, a sort of you owe me one look. Gwen looked away at first, but eventually turned and faced the arguing girls. She was about to say something when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned to see Dawn.

"You don't want to get involved with the negative aura," said Dawn, "it will lead to unforeseen consequences. I don't want the butterfly's omen coming true." DJ, who was on the other side of Dawn jumped a little.

DJ (CONF): Alright, Dawn seems really chill, but her talk about this omen is giving me the creep outs

"So like, who are we voting for?" asked Katie.

"I don't know," said DJ, "well let's see, we want to keep Bridge, and Leshawna, and Lindsay, Dawn, Zoey, and Trent, do you think it's time we try and boot Joe?" Scott perked up right as DJ said that.

"I will help," said Scott. DJ and Katie looked at him with confused looks on their face. "Just trust me." Katie and DJ both looked skeptical, but agreed to trust him. Suddenly, the Gilded Chris music started playing, so the contestants walked over to the Gilded Chris area.

"Alright, everyone grab your electronic voting devices," said Chris, "you know what to do." All the contestants put in their votes.

"The votes are in," said Chris, "the first Gilded Chris goes to Bridgette."

"Sweet dude," said Bridgette, catching her award.

"The next ones go to Leshawna, Zoey, Trent, and Lightning," said Chris, "enjoy the reward that is safety." Leshawna and Lightning high-fived, while Zoey and Trent both caught their awards.

"Alright, next, let's hit up Gwen, Lindsay, DJ, and Katie with their safety," said Chris.

"I like the lingo Chris, it really makes you seem cool," said Gwen. She snickered as she caught her award.

"Anyways, Alejandro, Dawn, and Scott are all safe as well," said Chris, tossing the three their awards.

"You three all got some votes," said Chris, referring to Heather, Courtney, and Joe, who were all sitting there without awards, "but Joe didn't get enough to send him home...again. Really people?" Joe smirked as he caught his reward, and DJ shot Scott a look. Scott returned with an I didn't know look, but DJ still seemed annoyed.

"Heather, Courtney, Total Drama's famed alpha females, one of you will be eliminated tonight," said Chris, "and that person will not be...

......Heather," said Chris, "Courtney, time to go."

"What?" said Courtney, "this can't be right."

"Sorry, but it is, bye-bye, no law suit can get you out of this one," said Joe.

"Sorry girl," said Bridgette. She and Courtney hugged, and once Bridgette walked away, Gwen walked up.

"You know what gothie? I forgive you," said Courtney. Everyone on the stands gasped, since Courtney just showed an act of kindness. "And I pity you, I mean, if I looked like that I would want to get anyone who liked me too." The contestants all exhaled, since that was the Courtney they knew.

"Thanks, kind of," said Gwen, "but hey, you get to see Duncan at Playas Des Losers, go get him tiger." Courtney smiled, and her and Gwen fist-pounded.

"Bye-bye Courtney, don't let the door hit you where-" said Heather, before she was cut off by Chef, who covered her mouth.

"Watch it girl," said Chef.

"Bye Colleen," said Lindsay, waving.

"We'll like, miss you," said Katie. In the meantime, Joe just sat there smirking. The lame-o-sine drove away, and the contestants returned to their trailers, all but Joe and Scott.

"You owe me," said Scott, "I saved your butt, Katie and DJ are liked by all these losers, they could have easily gotten you booted, so you know the terms, you don't boot Dawn."

"Hmph, whatever," said Joe, "but everyone has to go eventually. Courtney was too full of herself, that was her downfall, don't make the same mistake. But now I know someone who is targeting me, bye-bye DJ."

Chapter 17: Sydney or Bust
"Last time on Total Drama Explosion," said Chris, "our remaining players got a chance to shine during our musical genre challenge, rounding out our second film lot phase. The Frozen Foxes had the whole set to hide from the Phoenixes. They narrowly dodged the Phoenixes during the last song, giving them another win. Scott proved to be the same old guy, when he sold out DJ to Joe, saving Joe from elimination. In a shocking twist, power player Courtney got sent packing for the last time, and no amount of law suits will bring her back. Finally we get to go back on the plane, personally my favorite spot, and we are taking the contestants to Sydney, Australia. Let's see how our contestants hold up on Total, Drama, Explosion!"

Theme Song

The episode opened with the Phoenixes sitting in Economy Class.

"I can't believe you guys voted off Courtney," said Bridgette, "I mean, she was a valuable player."

"She was also Type-A crazy," said Heather, "besides, she has had enough time on Total Drama."

"By that logic, so have you," said Leshawna, causing Heather to immediately regret what she said, "you won for crying out loud."

"I deserved that money, but no, Ezekiel had to go all ballistic and throw my winnings into a volcano, I do not call that winning," said Heather.

"Ladies, ladies, calm down, you are all fantastic," said Alejandro, "and we are not losing to those stupid Foxes one more time." Heather rolled her eyes.

"Ugh, give it up, you think you are such a charmer, but we know your tricks now," said Heather. In the meantime, Zoey and Dawn were talking to DJ and Gwen.

"So has this mysterious butterfly talked to you again?" said Gwen.

"No," said Dawn, "but I fear something bad is coming. I can't feel exactly when, but you and DJ are in danger."

"What is she talking about?" asked Zoey.

"Dawn thinks we are going to experience something traumatic," said Gwen. She motioned a choking noise and fell over, which caused Zoey and Dawn to chuckle, but DJ was not amused.

Gwen (CONF): We do not need another curse going through DJ's head. This could be bad.

The group was interrupted by Chris, who was speaking from the intercom overhead. "Our next destination will be the lovely, Sydney, Austrlia," said Chris, "We will be landing in a few."

"Who is Sydney?" asked Lindsay, causing the Phoenixes to groan as the scene transitioned to economy class.

"Ugh, of course we lose the challenge that gets us stuck back here," said Blaineley, "typical."

"You know, I just came to a giant realization," said Jo, the sarcastic tone in her voice eminant, "I don't like you."

"Wow, thanks," said Blaineley, in a Blaineley-esque manner.

Geoff (CONF): The girls on our team really need to chill out, and I thought Courtney was uptight, I miss my Bridgey-bear

"Yeah that was the coolest part!" said Tyler. He and Sam were talking about a recent game they had player. Sam chuckled, causing him to snort a little which made Dakota giggle.

"I know right? Who knew Kink, the Legend of Melda good have another great swii game?" said Sam.

Sam (CONF): It's nice to have someone to relate to on my team, and it's even nicer to not have Scott or Lightning on it

Blaineley (CONF): Ok, everyone knows friends is just another word for allies in all reality television shows, if Tyler, Sam and Dakota went three-strong that could threaten my chances of getting my money...hmm...

Blaineley pulled Noah into the hallway outside of first class.

"Alright, let's get straight to the point scrawny, I know about your little thing for Cody," said Blaineley, "and I am right now down an ally, with Anne Maria out of here, so you get the blessing of joining me in an alliance."

"Err..." said Noah rubbing the back of his head.

Noah (CONF): I'm not stupid, I know my lack of allies is what got me eliminated so early in previous seasons, so, what the heck? She will think she is playing me but I will be playing her

"Whatever," said Noah, shaking Blaineley's hand.

"Alright, competitors, we are now landing in Sydney, Australia," said Chris over the speaker system. The scene flashed to the remaining competitors, Chris, Chef, and a few interns standing at one end of the Sydney Bridge. Chris was dressed in what looked like an Indiana Jones costume. "Your challenge will be to climb over the Sydney Bridge, and make it over to the opera house. There, the two teams will put on a performance to be judged by none other than moi, and my lovely assistant chef. The first team across the bridge gets an extra three points added to their score."

The contestants all lined up at the starting line, and each assumed a track-like starting position. Chris blew the airhorn, and the contestants were off. After approximately ten minutes, the contestants hadn't made much progress, having not even reached the halfway mark of their upward climb.

"Catch me if you can," said Brick. He, Jo, and Lightning had pulled ahead of the pack, and as usual were all competing for that coveted number one spot.

"No one is faster than the Lightning," said Lightning, as he strided past Brick.

"Yeah, no one is more annoying either," said Jo, as she ran past the two. "Let's do this Brick."

"Yes m'am," said Brick. The two both began pushing harder, and their pace increased causing them to start to distance themselves from Lightning.

"Hey, what?" said Lightning, confused. Behind those three, were Bridgette, Alejandro, Heather and Sierra.

"What...is with...all these physical...challenges," said Bridgette, panting. Alejandro looked as if he was about to give words of encouragement, but Heather shot him a look.

"Chris is like, uber annoying," said Sierra. Her long legs proved to give her an advantage in the climb.

"Come on surfer chick, we are not losing another challenge to those losers," said Heather.

"Hey!" replied Sierra angrily, but Heather ignored it. Behind that group, were Noah, Tyler, Suki, DJ and Katie.

"This is...exhausting," said Noah.

"I gotchu dude," said Tyler, scooping Noah over his shoulder. He continued bounding ahead, with Noah trying not to fall off. Suki chuckled, and managed to keep pace with the jock.

"This is like, so pretty," said Katie, looking over the side of the bridge as she ran.

"I know right," said DJ, "you know who it reminds me of?"

"Who?" said Katie, blushing.

"Momma," said DJ, admiring the view. Katie immediately got embarrassed for assuming it was her, and chose to remain silent. Jo and Brick managed to reach the top first.

"This is awesome," said Brick, looking over the side.

"Yeah, it's great," said Jo, but nothing in her tone indicated she actually enjoyed it. "Let's get moving before Jockstrap comes. I think I lose brain cells when he is around." The two began on their journey back down, with Lightning not far behind. After another fifteen minutes, the rest of the contestants are on their way down as well. Behind the beginning bulk of contestants were Dawn, Zoey, Trent, Dakota, and Joe. Their pace was much slower than that of those ahead.

"Running is so mainstream," said Zoey. She looked over to see that Dawn wasn't tired at all. In fact, her feet were almost levitating."Uh Dawn?"

"Yes Zoey," said a startled Dawn, her feet immediately returning to the ground. Zoey gave her a look and increased her pace. In the meantime, Joe was running silently, plotting in his head revenge against DJ. Behind them, were Cody, Lindsay, Gwen, Scott, and Blaineley.

"This is just like the good old days eh?" said Cody, who was running between Gwen and Lindsay, "I'm brought back to our marathon around Lake Wawanakwa."

"Uh...right," said Gwen. She tried to sound like she cared, but it wasn't working very well.

"When was that?" said Lindsay, confused. Scott laughed at Cody's awkward failure, causing Gwen to turn and glare at him.

"Good job dork," said Scott, hitting Cody as he increased his pace and sped by him. Rounding out the group was Leshawna and Sam, who were both struggling.

"Leshawna don't do running," said Leshawna. Despite Leshawna's exhausted apperance, she was in much better shape than Sam, who had begun crawling.

"Level four, level five," muttered Sam as he crawled. Leshawna looked back with a scared look, but Sam ignored it. Ten minutes had passed, and everyone had finished but Leshawna and Sam. Leshawna's drive was more than Sam's, which allowed her to increase her pace just enough to beat Sam, giving the Fiery Phoenixes a one up in the performance.

"Congratulations contestants," said Chris, appearing in front of the exhausted contestants. All of them were dripping in sweat, and panting, "you just ran over the Sydney bridge. And for twenty-four of you it meant nothing!" Heather and Leshawna shot Chris a look, but he continued.

"Your performance tonight is a good one, it will be Firework by Katy Perry, you probably want to prepare for this one," said Chris. In the meantime, Chef was passing out the lyrics to everyone.

"Wow, we actually get the lyrics?" said Gwen, "that's a step up."

"What can I say? I'm feeling kind today," said Chris. Next, Chef came through passing out ridiculous costumes. "Or maybe not." Chris snickered, and Gwen groaned at the sparkly outfit she was holding in her hand.

"Uh-huh, Lightning don't want to look like no fairy princess," said Lightning.

"Oh man up It's just a costume," said Leshawna, "we all know the hunk under it." She winked at him, causing him to look confused, but eventually begin to put on the costume.

Leshawna (CONF): Wow, I just used flirtation as a gameplay move, and it actually worked. Lightning could be a good ally

"Oh this is perfect," squealed Dakota, hugging her outfit.

"Yeah, perfect, that was the word I was looking for," said Noah sarcastically. Eventually, once all the contestants had their costumes on, the rehearsal began. They were practicing the choreography for the song.

"Thank the lord little miss 'CIT' isn't here," said Scott.

"Hey, that's not cool," said Bridgette, who was standing in the line in front of him.

"Question," said Cody, "why aren't we performing in the Sydney opera house?"

"I don't want to talk about it ok," snapped Chris. Cody silently returned to trying and following the steps.

Cody (CONF): Hostility

In the meantime, Suki was performing excellently, with Chris having given her a big part. She looked as though she was a natural performer.

"You are like, really good," said Katie.

"Yeah girl, you got it going on," said Leshawna.

"Oh it's nothing," said Suki. Her face turned bright red. Everyone nearby was startled by the fact that she talked, nothing that she hadn't done so in a while. Noah witnessed the whole interaction, and shot Blaineley a look, silently asking for confirmation if she had seen it as well. She nodded 'yes' in return.

Blaineley (CONF): Autograph, natural performer...Nothing evades the queen of gossip, I am co-host of a talk-show for crying out loud. Did Sakura Yamimato, famous Japanese pop singer, really think she could just slip past me? Ha. Now how to use this against her...

After half an hour of performing, Chris had returned. By this point, the sun had gone down, but the town was still lit up with lights, particularly the spotlights coming from the Sydney opera house.

"We have a little surprise," said Chris. He pointed to a bunch of boats on the river, where various interns were preparing a fireworks display.

"Is that safe?" asked Trent.

"No, no it isn't," said Chris, "but hilarious." The contestants were given mics, and suddenly, a crowd had started to form.

"All these people, here to see me?" said Dakota. She squealed, as the other contestants got nervous.

"Total Drama was huge in Austrlia," said Chris. Suddenly, the music started playing. It was soft at first, but slowly built as the contestants all ran out onto the makeshift stage in front of the Sydney opera house. The first firework was shot, causing that boat to catch on fire and sink, while the panicked intern hopped overboard and began swimming to shore, and the song began.

Song 

By the end of the performance, there was a large crowd in front of the stage, cheering.

"The name is Dakota Milton, remember it," said Dakota, winking as she signed someone's paper pad.

"I can't help that I'm so popular," said Heather, talking to three awe-struck girls, "it just comes naturally. Some people have it, some don't. Like I can tell you, you don't." The three ran away crying, but Heather didn't seem to care. Not all the contestants could handle the temporary fame.

"Friends!" said Zoey. She was excited for the attention, but it began to stress her out. "So, much, mainstream." She began slowly slinking to the ground, and as she was being mobbed by more fans, the scene shifted to Brick.

"No, the dark doesn't scare me, that was a rumor," said Brick, sweating. A group of girls was giggling as they continued to taunt him.

"Hey, hop off," said Jo. The girl in the front seemed surprised that Jo had stepped in. "That's right, shoo."

"Yeah, I bench 225," said Tyler, as the camera panned over to him flexing for a group of people. Suddenly, a giant bear ran through the audience, causing the whole crowd to flee in a frenzy. In the meantime, the competitors re-grouped at the entrance of the plane.

"Aww come on, you couldn't have give us like three more minutes? I was like, totally rocking it," whined Lindsay, blowing a kiss to the frenzied audience.

"I'm ready to leave, this isn't some stupid popularity contest. It is a contest, for a prize, and the longer we are here, the longer it takes to get into the elimination room and kick off another one of my loser teammates," said Joe.

"Oh lighten up man," said Geoff, putting his hand on Joe's back. Joe scowled, causing Geoff to back away slowly.

Geoff (CONF): Man these new guys are intense. Scott, Jo, Lightning, other Joe *counting on fingers* It's hard to keep track of

The contestants were brought into the mess hall.

"After some long deliberation, we would like to announce the winning team now..." said Chris, "The Fiery Phoenixes!" They cheered as the Foxes groaned.

"What? No way!" exclaimed Jo.

"Sorry, their +3 gave them the edge over you," said Chris.

"You are dead gamer boy," said Jo. Sam, cowered back in fear. At dinner in the plane's mess hall, the contestants were all discussing elimination.

"He lost us the challenge," said Jo.

"So? Like, we have all lost some challenges," said Dakota. She was trying to protect Sam, but wasn't doing a very good job. In the meantime, Blaineley pulled Noah and Cody aside.

"Alright you two, I have other plans as to who is taking the drop, hear me out..." she began, as the scene shifted back over to the table. It had gone from a calm discussion to a full fight.

"It's not my fault I can't run," said Sam.

"But what if we have another physical challenge? How are you going to help our team?" asked Jo.

"I think that he deserves a second chance," said Tyler, "Come on man, lighten up."

"I am a girl," snapped Jo, right in Tyler's face.

"Chill he knows, it's just what headband says," said Geoff, putting his hand on Tyler's shoulder. The contestants broke out into another argument as to whether or not to keep Sam, when Blaineley, Cody and Noah returned to the table. Cody whispered something in Sierra's ear, which made her go quiet. Noah in the meantime, whispered something in Suki's ear, which made her face turn pale.

Suki (CONF): How did they know? Crap...

The contestants were in such a heated debate, that they didn't notice Blaineley pull Sam and Dakota aside.

"Look, I am going to help you save your butt, but your going to have to do exactly as I say, this is how the voting is going to go..." said Blaineley. The scene switched to the barf bag ceremony. Chris walked out with ten barf bags on his plate.

"Hello contestants, and welcome back to the elimination room," said Chris, "may the voting...begin!" A montage of the contestant stamping people's passports followed. Then, it switched back to all of them sitting back in the bleachers.

"Alright, time for the results," said Chris, "this first barf bag will be going to...Dakota." She was too nervous for Sam to cheer as she caught her immunity.

"Jo, Blaineley, Noah, you three are also safe," said Chris.

"Obviously," said Jo, as she caught her bag. Blaineley and Noah rolled their eyes at the jock-ette.

"Cody and Sierra, you two may enjoy safety," said Chris.

"Sweet," said Cody. Sierra squealed, at the oppurtunity to stay with her favorite people longer.

"Suki, Brick and Tyler, you three are also safe," said Chris. He tossed the three of them their items of safety. The scene panned over to Sam and Geoff, both looking extremely nervous.

"Geoff, Sam, one of you will be going home tonight, and that person will not be...

......Sam," said Chris.

"What?" said Geoff, "how?"

"Sorry dude, you got the most votes," said Chris, "by one." The gamer boy sighed in relief.

"Sorry bro," said Sam, putting his hand on Geoff's shoulder.

"Can I at least say good-bye to my Bridge?" said Geoff.

"Of course you c-" said Chris, before suddenly shoving a parachute in Geoff's hands and shoving him over the side.

"Bridgette," cried Geoff, as he fell, "bummer man."

Blaineley (CONF): Ha. There we go. If there was a jury vote, Geoff would definitely win, and it was a matter of time before Geoff's little grudge against me for *putting up airquotes* sending his girlfriend to siberia *putting down airquotes* would come to pass and he would try to eliminate me.

Chapter 18: It's a Merry Chris-mas Day
Chris was sitting in the pilot seat next to Chef in the jumbo jet. Chris was wearing a santa outfit, while Chef was dressed as a reindeer. A bunch of interns were milling around the control room, dressed as elves, each of them performing different tasks, from useful ones such as manning controls and decorating, to trivial ones such as drinking hot chocolate.

"Last time, on Total Drama Explosion," began Chris, "our remaining players were brought to Sydney, Australia, to make me money for their performa- I mean for their challenge. Thanks to their edge in part one, the Fiery Phoenixes flamed through to victory, leaving the Foxes to yet another elimination ceremony. Despite the general idea it would be gamer boy getting the boot, it turned out that our resident faux host Geoff got the boot, after Blaineley determined he was a threat. Sorry big guy, but there's only one host the most, and you can see him in action, right here, on Total...Drama...Explosion!"

Theme Song

The scene shifted to first class, which was fully decorated for Christmas.

"Someone is sure in the holiday mood this year," said Heather, slapping away an intern who tried to put reindeer antlers on her. She was sitting in one of the sets of chairs with Dawn, Gwen and Scott.

"I hate Christmas, all the cheery-ness, the warm fuzzy feeling you get, it's gross," said Gwen. Dawn looked at her with a quizzical look. She looked as if she was about to say something, but held it back.

Dawn (CONF): Her aura clearly states she likes this time of year, you can tell by the purplish pink, I don't know why she would want us to believe different, I am still worried about the great disaster that might befall DJ and Gwen...*puts her hands on her temples*

"Pappy used to get me the coolest knives for Christmas," said Scott, "but nothing as cool as this." He pulled Fang's tooth out of his pocket.

"You kept that?" said Gwen, "didn't that shark almost kill you?"

"Well it's cool," said Scott, who was admiring it.

In a different set of chairs sat Leshawna, Bridgette, Lindsay and Zoey. Zoey had donned a christmas sweater given to her by one of the many interns milling around first class, while Lindsay, Bridgette and Leshawna all sported holiday outfits as well.

"Yeah," said Bridgette, "and then he asked for another 'accident." The four girls bust out laughing as Bridgette continued to recall her time in the Yukon.

Bridgette (CONF): Things get easier when you laugh at yourself, I learned that from...Geoff *begins to briefly cry but stop* Get it together Bridge, you can do this

"The best part was when you couldn't speak at your elimination," said Leshawna, laughing. Bridgette began to mock the event, babbling as if she had a pole stuck to her tongue. The confessional was shown to be also decked out in Christmas decorations.

Bridgette (CONF): I almost feel free-er now that Geoff is gone, I- I *begins to cry* miss him so much

"It's ok girl, at least you didn't vote yourself off," said Leshawna, nudging Lindsay.

"I like, don't remember that happening," said Lindsay, causing the other three to laugh again.

"Hey didn't your audition video say you were terrified of getting eliminated by a jock? And didn't Lightning eliminate you?' said Leshawna, to Zoey.

"Hey! I couldn't do anything about it," snapped Zoey. There was an undertone of anger in her voice, similar to commando Zoey. Leshawna looked as if she was ready with a retort, but held it back.

"Hey let's just calm down," said Bridgette.

Leshawna (CONF): If homegirl is going to freak out like that, I don't know if I want her as one of Leshawna's homies

Zoey (CONF): With Mike gone, I find it harder to laugh at things, I really gotta work on that, at least Dawn seems to be helping though

At the mini-bar sat Alejandro, Joe, and Lightning. Lightning's white hair fit with his Santa Clause outfit.

"Amigos, brothers, we are the strongest three players in the game, if we could-" began Alejandro.

"No," said Lightning and Joe in unison.

"Lightning aint falling for your tricks," said Lightning. Despite talking to Alejandro, he was looking through him to Leshawna.

"I can help you win over the lucious Leshawna," said Alejandro, "especially with Harold gone."

"Really?" said Lightning, getting up out of the stool. He was quickly pulled back down by Joe.

"Calm down lightning dolt," said Joe, "gameplay first, and we are not trusting this guy."

Alejandro (CONF): Ever since World Tour, no one trusts me, sure I told a few lies now and then, and maybe betrayed a couple people, and got most of the World Tour cast eliminated, but I mean...forgive and forget right?

Economy class was also decorated for Christmas, and also had many "elves" roaming about. Dakota was sitting on Sam's lap, much to the disgust of Jo.

"I definitely don't want that for Christmas," said Jo.

"My polls say that you are bitter just because you crave a partner but can't find a man," said Sierra, "just saying." She was hugging Cody, but not as stalker-tight as she used to. A friend hug, which made Cody smile due to the warmth, and made Noah uncomfortable. Sierra shot Noah a haha Cody is mine look, but Noah just rolled his eyes.

"I can too get a man, anytime I want," said Jo. She awkwardly tried to sit on Brick's lap, who seemed startled by the attempt.

"Um hello soldier," said Brick, "may I ask what you are doing?"

"Oh forget it," said Jo, getting off Brick's lap and storming away. Tyler was chatting with Noah and Cody, and Blaineley was sitting with Suki.

"I hate Christmas, it's just a bunch of losers celebrating some fat old guy," said Blaineley, "where's the fun in that? Where is the juicy gossip?"

"I like-" said Suki, but she was cut off since Blaineley began to continue.

"I mean, what is so special about giving everyone gifts? I give everyone gifts too! The gift of knowing me!" said Blaineley.

"Yeah but-" said Suki, before she was cut off again.

"Here is how it works shy girl, I know your secret, so you vote with me, kapeesh?" said Blaineley. Suki just nodded, having given up on trying to say anything. Chris walked into Economy and told the contestants to meet him outside. They did as they were told, and found out that the plane had landed in New York City again.

"New York? Again?" said Heather, "can't you do anything original Chris?"

"Hey, don't complain, it was either this or Siberia, you guys got lucky," said Chris. They were at Battery park, a park in southern Manhattan.

"I am like, so not complaining, we can finally go shopping," said Lindsay, squealing.

"I am like, so happy I get to be on this season," said Katie, "I was so jealous when you guys got to like travel the world. And now I'm in New York City!" She squealed as well, and Lindsay joined in. Scott nudged Joe.

"I'm sure you could win Katie over from DJ, she is a babe," said Scott.

"Oh yeah, I'd hit that," said Joe.

Joe (CONF): With my car

"Hey, it's strategy, you saw how easy she fell for Alejandro, and everyone knows he's evil," said Scott.

"He is not evil, he is just pathetic," said Joe, scoffing in the oblivious Alejandro's direction. Chris continued on with the New York challenge.

"Alright, your challenge is to collect stamps from three land marks. The first is the five-story Macy's, the second is Rockefeller plaza, and the third is Times Square. You must do so in that order, got it?" said Chris. The contestants nodded, and Chris handed Heather and Jo stamp cards. "Good luck with your tasks, go!" The contestants all sprinted down the subway, to catch the train to the Macy's. It was about a ten minute journey, eventually, the contestants got out at the subway stop a few blocks down from the giant Macy's.

"Let's go amigos," said Alejandro. The contestants had trouble weaving in and out of the massive crowds. The Phoenixes seemed to be faring better, especially when a group of Japanese tourists mobbed Suki.

"We love you," screamed one of the girls from the crowd.

"What is going on?" asked Tyler.

"Oh nothing," said Blaineley, scooting her team along, "probably just, her family." Blaineley dove into the crowd, and viciously pulled Suki away.

Blaineley (CONF): I can't have the team find out her secret just yet, how am I supposed to use it to manipulate a vote if they know?

Heather and Alejandro had managed to reach the Macy's first. It was completely decked out for Christmas as well. The Foxes had gotten caught behind waiting for Blaineley and Suki, so the Phoenixes were the first full team to arrive.

"Like, now what?" asked Lindsay.

"Over there, an intern," said Gwen. She pointed to the middle of the store where one of Chris's interns stood staring at them. The Phoenixes ran over, and managed to all get there before the Foxes arrived to the Macy's.

"Welcome Fiery Phoenixes," said Chris. He was speaking through a speaker that was planted on the intern's chest. "Your first task will be to find the Christmas present with the Phoenix stamp hidden in it. It is somewhere in this store, good luck." The speaker cut off and the intern ran away before the Phoenixes could ask anything further.

"Great, this store is huge," said Bridgette," where are we even going to start."

"Easy," said Dawn, "I can sense Chris's negative aura from the package, follow me friends."

"Way to go Dawn," said Zoey, "we are going to crush those Foxes. Crush them." The contestants followed Dawn up the stairs as the Foxes arrived on the scene.

"Over there," said Cody, pointing at a different intern. They received the same message from Chris about finding their first stamp somewhere in the Macy's.

"Well this is a problem," said Sam, "how are we going to find it?"

"Leave it to me," said Jo. She climbed up one of the clothes racks, and yelled for everyone in Macy's to be quiet. The entire store immediately hushed.

"Hey, you all know Blaineley from Celebrity Manhunt right? You want a chance to get her autograph? Find a light blue present somewhere in this store and that is just what you will get," said Jo. In the meantime, Dakota was sneaking behind Jo posing, when an embarrassed Sam dragged her away.

"Hey, that's cheating," said Brick.

"Did Chris say 'no exploiting Blaineley's confusing popularity?' Didn't think so," said Jo. The store broke into a frenzy, looking for the turquoise present. The Phoenixes, who were on the third floor, looked over the railing.

"Crap," said Heather, "who cares about Mildred?"

"Apparently a lot of people," replied DJ.

"Do you not remember she sent me to Siberia," yelled Bridgette over the railing, but she was ignored by the crowd. They were laser-focused on finding that present and getting that autograph.

"Got it," said Dawn, who was sliding out from under a clothes rack, with a fiery orange present in hand.

"Way to go creepy girl," said Lightning, grabbing the package and ripping it open.

"Here," said Leshawna, grabbing the stamp card from Heather and tossing it to Lightning. He quickly stamped the first slot on the card, it was an outline of Macy's with a Phoenix overtop of it.

"Now how are we going to get through that?" said Bridgette, pointing to the mad rush of people below.

"Leave it to me," said Zoey. She grabbed a large spool of ribbon that was part of the Christmas decorations, and using an empty wrapping paper roll and a string made a makeshift bow. She grabbed Fang's tooth from Scott, tied ribbon to one end, and shot it across the store. It stuck in the wall, and gave them a zipline straight to the exit.

Lightning (CONF): Sha-what?

Zoey took charge and slid down the line using her pant's belt. The contestants followed suit, and the ones without belts held onto those with them.

"This is actually kinda fun," said Leshawna, as she held onto Lightning and zipped down over the crowd below.

"You know, maybe you aren't a loser," said Heather. She had stolen Alejandro's belt and used it for herself.

Once all of the contestants reached the end, they dashed out the door and began heading towards Rockefeller plaza. In the meantime, someone had finally found the present.

"That is how you do it soldier," mocked Jo at the visibly uncomfortable Brick, "let's move team." The Foxes ran out of Rockefeller plaza, and also began heading towards Rockefeller Plaza. It was hard for the Foxes to manuever the crowds, especially with various people trying to stop them for autographs, notably Suki and Blaineley. About twenty minutes passed until the Phoenixes reached the Rockefeller Ice Rink, the location of their next stamp. Standing in the middle of the rink was another intern with a speaker attached to her.

"Hello Phoenixes," boomed Chris.

"Where did that come from?' said Gwen. The contestants all looked around confused until they finally found the intern in the middle of the rink. "To earn your second present, containing your second stamp, you must have a team of two boys and two girls succesfully beat a team of skaters in a 4 x 4 relay. I told these guys not to go easy on you so...good luck!" The intern motioned to the starting line, where four experienced skaters were standing. They were stretching, and grinning at the Phoenixes. They looked much more intimidating than the rag tag group of competitors wearing Christmas apparel.

"Alright so who's going in?" said Heather. She pulled the Phoenixes into a huddle.

"I'm sure Alejandro's eigth cousin twice removed was a speed skater," Leshawna, mocking Alejandro's constant mentioning of his relatives in the third season.

"Actually I-" began Alejandro, before he was cut off by Heather.

"Save it, you're going in. Who else?" said Heather.

"No one beats the Lightning," said Lightning.

"Alright that's two, what two girls?" said Heather. The girls looked around nervously at each other.

"You all have seen how clumsy I am on land," said Bridgette, "Why don't you do it Heather?"

"Ugh do I have to do everything myself? Fine, I'm in, who's with me?" said Heather. Katie shyly raised her hand.

"Like, I-I can do it," said Katie, "Sadie and I skate all the time." Without Sadie by her side, Katie was having trouble being as confident as she usually was.

"I don't know, I think Zoey would be the safe choice," said Gwen, "no offense Katie, but I never really took you as the athletic type." Katie seemed hurt by this comment, but refrained from saying anything.

"I could, but I don't want to let everyone down," said Zoey.

Dawn (CONF): Not only is Zoey showing mood shifts, she also is suddenly caring about how others see her. She wants them to see her as a...how you say "hipster?" I can tell by her aura. I hope this newfound popularity doesn't go to her head.

"Well, Katie it is," said Bridgette, "you can do it."

Lightning was first, and right as Chris blew the airhorn he took off. By this point, the Foxes had arrived. They were told the challenge by means of another speaker, and had to wait until the Phoenixes were done with their first try before they got a shot at it. With Lightning speed-skating in the background, Jo decided to pull her team into a huddle to decide their four racers.

"Alright, obviously I will go in," said Jo, "but which one of you girly-girls is with me?" Suki was beginning to raise her hand, but Sierra butted in before she could.

"I can do it," said Sierra.

Sierra (CONF): *squeals* Ice skating in New York City on my favorite TV show ever. I love this show!

"So which males want to step it up?" said Jo.

"I will," said Tyler.

"No," replied the Foxes in unison. By this point, Lightning had tied the first skater, leaving Heather neck and neck with the second skater.

"Alright gamer boy is out, scrawny one and two are both also out, that leaves us with headband being our only option," said Blaineley, "assuming wets his pants is going in."

"I'll do it for the team," said Brick saluting, and ignoring Blaineley's comment.

"That makes it me, Jo, Tyler and Brick," said Sierra.

"If you mess this up," said Jo, getting in Tyler's face. Cody sighed.

Cody (CONF): You know, it's times like these I miss Geoff. Times when I feel like Jo is going to personally murder each and every one of us

"Go Henna!" cheered Lindsay, with the scene switching over to the Phoenixes watching Heather race.

"Go!" cheered Gwen. Heather barely inched ahead of the skater, when she used her skate to spray ice in her opponent's face. This gave Alejandro a brief lead, and Alejandro proved early on to be a strong skater. Alejandro was seemingly doing well, however one of his skates twisted him causing him to come crashing down to the ground.

"That's right!" cheered Jo, throwing a fist in the air.

"Your going down Ale-mean-dro," said Sierra, grabbing onto the railing and leaning over slightly. By the end of the lap, Alejandro left Katie with quite the gap to close. Katie proved to be an excellent skater, almost immediately closing the gap between her and the final professional speed skater.

"What?" said many of the Frozen Foxes in unison, as Katie sped by them, accidentally showering ice over the gang. At the very end Katie inched ahead and ended up clearing the challenge for the Phoenixes.

"First try," said Bridgette, "that's awesome!"

"Way to go girl," said Leshawna, high-fiving Katie. She was bright red, and exhausted.

Heather (CONF): Who knew Katie was so valueable? I guess it's been a while since she has played, but without Sadie, Katie could prove to be a good ally...or a threat

"You did awesome," said DJ, scooping Katie up into a hug, earning an 'aw' from Lindsay. A montage followed of the Frozen Foxes skating against the group, now angry due to their loss. The Phoenixes headed to Times Square to attempt their final challenge. The montage switched between the Jo, Tyler, Sierra and Brick skating, the Phoenixes running, and the rest of the Foxes cheering on their competitors.

"You better not screw this up," shouted Blaineley from over the railing.

"Take it easy," said Noah. He meant to say it to himself, but unfortunately for him Blaineley overheard.

"Excuse me?" said Blaineley, turning to Noah.

"Ha-ha nothing," giggled Noah nervously.

Thankfully, the sound of the other Foxes cheering drowned out Blaineley's following insults, as Brick had just inched out the last skater and cleared the challenge for the Foxes. Noah turned away from Blaineley, cheering for Brick with the rest of the team, and hoping that would provide a distraction for the hot-headed ex co-hostess.

"Let's get a move on," said Sierra.

"Sierra is like, so right," said Dakota. She inched closer to Sierra, and Sierra gave her a confused face.

"Purple hair is right, we are not losing to those loser birds again," said Jo. The Foxes arrived at Times Square at the same time as the Phoenixes.

"I told you we shouldn't have stopped," said Heather, "you all are hopeless." Chris suddenly jet-packed down from the sky in front of all of the contestants, still sporting a Santa costume.

"Hello players, did you enjoy your tour of New York City?" asked Chris.

"It was great," said Bridgette panting.

"Well I have a surprise...Merry Christmas," said Chris, throwing his hands in the air. Unfortunately, the announcement was rather anticlimatic.

"...and?" said Gwen, "no mutated animals? No psycho killers with a chain-saw?"

"Oh I forgot the announcement," said Chris, "this whole challenge...well...it was for nothing, because everyone is going to elimination tonight! Merry Christmas from your host with the most! All twenty-four of you will be eliminating one contestant."

"So we are merged?" said Leshawna.

"Merge?" said Lindsay, "Eeh!"

"Woah slow down, there are still a kajillion of you, no merge, just...special elimination!" said Chris, "oh and by the way, have fun with your musical performance."

"What musical per-" began Gwen, before she was cut off by the sound of the musical chime. Chris began laughing hysterically at their situation and flew away. The contestants sang Extraordinary Merry Christmas.

Song

A few moments after the end of the song, a ladder dropped from the jumbo jet for the contestants to climb.

Jo (CONF): Chris is losing his edge...or mind...or both

At dinner, all the contestants were sitting at one big table.

"So I think we should like, all agree on someone to eliminate together," said Lindsay. The rest of the table bust out laughing.

"Alright," said Heather, "there are way more of us, if we team up against Blaineley she is so gone."

Heather (CONF): This is perfect. A chance to eliminate Queen of Mean during the team stage? And I'm not even on her team? Yes *throws fist in the air* 

"Alright minions," said Blaineley. She was talking to Noah, Suki and Cody, who did not appreciate the new nickname. "Heather, Bridgette and Alejandro are all on the opposing team, which means yours truly is at risk, which is why we need to make sure their vote is split so we can come in and pick off one of the Phoenixes."

"Which one?" asked Suki.

"Here's what I'm thinking," said Blaineley, and she began whispering.

"So ...what's the plan teammies," said Jo. She and the other Foxes were ignoring Blaineley's conversation with Noah, Cody and Suki. Jo didn't want to draw attention to her ally's planning.

"We have to stay as a team," said Brick, "I think it's that weasel Scott's time."

"I think we can take out a threat, an un-likable one, like Alejandro or Heather," said Sierra.

Sierra (CONF): This is the first time in Total Drama history everyone has voted together during the team stage, eeh I'm making hitsory on my favorite show ever!

Blaineley pulled Scott, Joe and Lightning into the hallway, and the three began whispering about an unknown subject. This was noticed by the Phoenixes at the table.

"That cannot be good," said Leshawna.

"I say we stick together against Blaineley," said Bridgette. Despite her kind-hearted nature, there was still a sliver of grudge left from her forced expedition to Siberia. She put her hand in the middle of the table. Alejandro, Heather, Katie, DJ, Lindsay, Leshawna, Dawn, Zoey, Gwen, and Trent put their hands in as well.

Dawn (CONF): I have a bad feeling...it's coming *rubs her temples*

The scene shifted to the elimination ceremony.

"You guys know the drill," said Chris, "stamp the passports blah, blah, blah." The scene shifted to various contestants in the confessional, stamping their choice.

"Interesting," said Chris, "very interesting, well it's barfbag time." Time fast-forwarded, and everyone had a barf bag in hand except Joe, Blaineley, Gwen, Trent, Heather, and Lightning.

"Lightning, you are the next one safe," said Chris. Lightning let out a squeal, a manly squeal, and grabbed his barf bag.

"Trent, Heather, you two are staying as well," said Chris.

"About time," said Heather, as she caught her barf bag.

"Sweet," said Trent. His confidence didn't back up his voice though. He was still nervous for Gwen, who had yet to receive her sweet bag of immunity.

"Joe, somehow you manage to stay in this game yet again," said Chris, "which leaves Blaineley and Gwen." Both looked extremely nervous, and Blaineley periodically shot glares at Noah and Cody. Chris drew out a brief silence, before continuing his announcements.

"Well, I guess the only thing left is to hand out the final barf bag, and it's recepient will be...

.................................................................Blaineley," said Chris.

"No. way." said Bridgette and Leshawna in unison.

"What?" said Gwen, "it's over?"

"Friend," said Dawn. She ran over to Gwen and handed her a small Christmas present. "I know you like the holidays, embrace it."

"Thanks, that's actually pretty cool," said Gwen. Bridgette and Leshawna ran and wrapped Gwen in a hug.

"Girl I'm going to miss you so much," said Leshawna.

"Totally," agreed Bridgette. In the meantime, the emotional Lindsay burst into tears, realizing this will be the last time she is competing with Gwen.

"Well I guess my time on Total Drama is over," said Gwen, "before I go..." She turned to the Phoenixes. "Be careful, the worst has yet to come, I can feel it." She shot a look at Scott and Joe, who were sitting there smirking. She was about to jump out of the plane when Trent rushed over to the door.

"Wait, Gwen, I need to-" said Trent, before he was cut off.

"Not now," said Gwen, "just...not now." With tears bulging in her eyes, she jumped out of the plane for the last time.

"Gwen, no," said Trent. He stuck his head out the window to see Gwen plummeting to the ground.

"Sorry dude," said Chris, "but it's great for ratings, so actually not that sorry. See you guys next time."
