Chapter 22: That’s Off the Chain

"Last time on Total Drama Island…" Chris began the recap of the day! "In a challenge of hide-and-seek, campers had to avoid capture by Chef 'It', or join his guerrilla tactics to tag fellow campers. Some had weak hiding spots while others won invincibility. Meanwhile in a surprise twist of events, Duncan managed to convince both Owen and DJ to form a dude's alliance but kept Lincoln out of the loop. But the alliance wasn't as testosterone filled as one would think as it turns out Courtney was a secret member working as a double agent to spy on the girls. And so with her help, the guys were successful in banishing Bridgette. Will the guys be able to dwindle down the girls more? Will the girls form an alliance? Will I be stuck hosting reality TV for the rest of my life? Find out on this episode of Total. Drama. Island!"

It was a sunny day on Camp Wawanakwa. The campers were deciding to use the down time to have some fun amongst themselves on the beach. So a majority of the campers were enjoying a good old fashioned game of frisbee. Meanwhile Dawn, Lincoln, and Edward were laying on a beach towel and soaking up the rays of the sun with Dawn laying on top of Lincoln with the Loud boy's arms around her waist.

And sitting away from everyone on the Dock of Shame was Lindsay and Heather. With them a fly was buzzing around them so Lindsay took it upon herself to try and kill the little bug with a fly swatter while Heather was trying to get some shut eye by laying on the dock.

At least that was the plan. During Lindsay's attempts to kill the fly with the swatter she accidently hit Heather in the face with it. This got a low growl out of the queen bee as she rose up her open hand. "Can I see that for a sec?" Lindsay happily gave Heather the fly swatter…that the mean girl used to smack Lindsay across the face a few times. "Now make yourself useful and clip my toenails!" Heather then put her foot in front of Lindsay making the blond cringe at the disgusting toenails.

But just then a ball of sand was thrown right at Heather's face. The queen bee screamed as some of the sand hit her eyes with some also getting in her mouth causing her to both spit the sand out and rub it out of her eyes. "WHO THREW THAT?!" Heather demanded to know. Many of the campers on the beach stopped playing frisbee to laugh at Heather with the queen bee's eyes suddenly coming to a certain egg laying mammal. "YOU!"

Currently, Edward was giving a shit eating grin with his bill with his tail raised up high and covered in sand. Sure, the platypus could have gathered up sand in his tail. And he might have aimed it at Heather. Plus he possibly launched the gathered up sand on his tail by using his beaver-like tail as a catapult.

But he totally did.

"HEY! LOVE BIRDS!" Dawn and Lincoln sighed as they were forced to sit up so they could give a deadpanned look to the sand covered queen bee. "WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT KEEPING THAT FREAK OF NATURE ON A SHORT LEASH?!"

Both Dawn and Lincoln looked to Edward and saw that the Australian Mammal was fast asleep on the sand. "We don't know what you're talking about." Lincoln stated in a blank tone. In truth, he knew exactly what Edward did and couldn't be prouder of the platypus. He and Dawn just knew saying this would get on Heather's nerves even more. "He's just a platypus Heather. They don't do much."

Heather's eye twitched, and not because of the sand this time, and she was about to yell something but was swiftly cut off by feedback coming from the loud speakers. "Morning, campers!" Chris' voice was heard through out the camp. "Your next challenge awaits you at the Arts and Crafts Center!"

ARTS AND CRAFTS CENTER

When they reached the arts and crafts center the campers were…underwhelmed to say the least. "Welcome to the Arts and Crafts Center." Chris greeted all the campers as he gestured to the area. Which was pretty much just a shack.

"More like the Arts and Crap Center." Duncan explained the area the best, getting a few chuckles.

"Yeah." Chris has to agree. This place was kind of a dump. "It used to be an outhouse, but now it's where Chef parks his road hog." Everyone watched as Chris kicked down the door to the shack and revealing a pretty cool looking motorcycle as well as a whole bunch of mechanic tools and such. "Which brings us to your challenge. Building your own wheels!"

"Hot rods! Yes! Awesome!" Owen was quick to cheer and held his hand out to Duncan for a high five. "Gimme five! Woohoo! Woohoo. Woo…" The big guy was not met with a high five from the delinquent.

"You'll find all the parts you need in our bike depot." Chris then kinda brought down the hype of the challenge a bit by gesturing to a pile of bicycle parts. Not motorcycle.

"Bicycles…" Owen tried to keep up the hype but one could tell even he was dwindling a bit on this challenge now. "Less awesome, but still good. Right?"

"Once you've collected the basics, you can trick 'em out any way you want using props from the Arts and Crafts Center." Chris explained the first part of the challenge. "Best design wins! And…to prove I'm a nice guy, I'll even throw in a bike manual."

Chris then threw the campers a manual…which was covered in mold. "Eeeeew!" Heather, the one to catch the manual, let out in disgust. "It's furry!"

Heather was quick to throw the old and moldy book away with Izzy quickly catching it. "Coooool!" The psycho hose beast let out as she examined all the moldy spots the book had. "Mold spores!

"Freak." Heather sighed out before looking to the guys and saying. "We get first dibs!"

CONFESSIONAL DUNCAN

"Finally, a challenge I can get behind." Duncan stated with a grin on his face. One could even say he was a bit excited for this. "I used to build bikes back home with my brothers all the time…okay, so I used to steal them from the dweebs down the street and crash them into the school wall, but point is, this is something I know."

CONFESSIONAL LINCOLN

The white head looked in the camera as he scratched the back of his head with an unconfident expression on his face. "I'm bad with building stuff…"

"Welp, gotta at least try." Lincoln said as he went over to the pile and started taking random parts with no clue on what to do with them. To say Lincoln was a bit overwhelmed with was an understatement. "Ah geez where the heck do these all go on a bike again?"

"Brbrbrbr."

Looking behind him, Lincoln saw Edward approaching him. Only the Platypus' face was hidden behind the biker helmet he was wearing. "You stole that from the shack didn't you?" Edward gave a nod in response making Lincoln chuckle and roll his eyes. And as he was rolling them, he spotted Dawn heading into the woods. "Hey where you going beautiful?"

Dawn turned her head to her boyfriend and answered. "I'm just heading into the woods." Dawn explained to the Loud boy. "Just gonna get some stuff for my bike!"

"Alright stay safe out there!" Dawn giggled a little before reassuring her boyfriend that she would be fine. Once his girlfriend was in the woods looking for things to add to her bike, Lincoln went back to salvaging and trying to figure out how he was even gonna start building his bike. "Alright now let's see here…"

"Having a bit of trouble?" Walking up to Lincoln was Courtney. The CIT had her hand full with various bike parts and she couldn't help but be curious about Lincoln and how he seemed to look a bit confused.

"Yeah this challenge is gonna be a hard one for me." Lincoln said as he grabbed something that looked like a pedal. "Let's just say building and crafting was never my expertise. Should have seen this stool I made in 5th grade…though calling it a stool is a bit too generous. Seems like you know what you're doing though."

"Hehe, yeah. I actually built my first bike. It was a kit." Courtney explained getting an impressed nod from Lincoln. He didn't even know those kinds of kits existed. "I guess after that I always enjoyed building my own bikes. Just buying one premade felt kinda boring. But don't worry I'm sure you'll get something done."

"Well that makes one of us that thinks that." Lincoln let out a bit of a chuckle as Courtney laughed a bit herself before walking away.

"Hahahah!" On the other side of the pile, Owen and Duncan were gathering up parts with the former letting out an excited laugh as he grabbed some handle bars. "I'm gonna make my dream bike!"

"Oh my gosh, me too!" Walking up to Owen was Lindsay who heard what the big guy said and was also planning on making her dream bike. "Every year at Christmas, I asked for a Sunset Sally bike but never got one."

This story quickly saddened Owen. "Really?" The big guy even started to tear up a bit. "Santa never brought you, your…Christmas wish?"

"Man that just ain't right." DJ teared up a bit too as he put a hand on Owen's shoulder.

"Guys, this isn't a Christmas wish contest." Duncan quickly got in between the two guys before they could start crying over some stupid fantasy. "If we want to vote the chicks out, then our bikes have to kick butt. Capiche?"

"Kick butt." Owen sniffled a bit before getting back on the alliance train. "Yes! Let's do it!"

"Guys' alliance…" DJ let out rather weakly for two reasons. One, he was still a bit shaky about the whole guys' alliance thing. Second, he was scared as crap for this challenge. "Woohoo…" Meanwhile, hiding behind the other side of the shed and listening in on the guys was the queen bee herself.

CONFESSIONAL – HEATHER

"The guys think they're so stealthy, building their little alliances." Heather smirked as she rolled her eyes, not afraid of the team the guys formed at all. "It's kinda cute, really. But why work on your own bike when you can get someone to do it for you."

"Dang girl." Meanwhile over by the table, Leshawna, Lindsay, and a few other of the girls watched as Courtney got to work on building her bike. And she was making good progress as the bike was about halfway done. "Never knew you were suck a grease monkey."

"There's a lot of things you don't know about me." Courtney grinned a bit as she tightened up some bolts on her bike.

"You're a monkey?" Lindsay questioned Leshawna, gaining quite a few deadpanned looks from everyone. "Then where's her cute little tail."

Before anyone could say anything, Lindsay's arm was grabbed by Heather with the queen bee quickly pulling her away from the rest of the girls. "Could I just borrow her for a sec?" Heather said before quickly dragging Lindsay to the front of the shack and handing Lindsay a big wrench. "See that motor thingy with all the fancy exhausts? Dismantle it. And make it fast, before Chef gets back."

"Uh, but what about my bike?" Lindsay frowned a bit as she's done something she's never really done before. Question Heather's authority. Normally the dumb blond did whatever the queen bee told her but recently Lindsay began doubting some of Heather's decisions. "I wanna win, too."

"And you should." Before Heather could quickly shoot Lindsay's idea down, another voice spoke up. Glaring at the direction of it, both girls saw it was Lincoln who was carrying a bunch of bike parts away so he could start and try to build his bike. "Take my advice Lindsay. Heather's no good, you're better off without her."

"Shut…the (BLEEP)…up!" Heather quietly yelled at Lincoln through her teeth. The queen bee was already infuriated enough with Lincoln. From his stupid platypus, to his relationship-alliance, and just how meddlesome he can be. But she was not about to let him ruin her alliance! "Just ignore him Lindsay, he doesn't know what he's talking about."

"But…" Lindsay let out before Heather covered her mouth. Lincoln glared at the back of Heather's head before sighing and walking off. With any luck Lindsay will be able to break away from Heather on her own.

"Listen, I get that you want to win. Really I do." Heather spoke to Lindsay with that innocent tone she always used to persuade Lindsay into doing stuff for her. "But look at it this way. How else can I save your butt if I don't win? We're BFFs, remember? Would I steer you wrong?"

CONFESSIONAL – LINDSAY

"Okay, maybe I'm navy, but Heather's always been trustworthy to me before." Lindsay said…before a doubtful look came to the dumb blond's face. "That I know of."

Heather then proceeded to push Lindsay into the shack and quickly close the door so no one can see the blond doing Heather's bidding. When the other girls began to walk to the shack, Heather quickly stopped them by stepping in front of the door. "No, uh-uh. We're going in first." Heather said firmly as she crossed her arms. "You'll just have to wait your turn. Or you could save yourself the effort and not even bother."

Immediately after saying this, a seagull that was perched on top of the shack proceeded to poop, with the bird do-do landing right on Heather's head. "Gotta love karma." Gwen grinned as Heather ran away screaming.

And so the building truly began. All the guys were hard at work building their bikes, or in DJ's case building armor, and the girls weren't far behind. At least, most of them. "Where does this go?" Leshawna asked Gwen as she held up a pedal to the goth.

"That's the pedal." Gwen answered as she rose a brow at Leshawna. "Haven't you ever ridden a bike before?"

"Of course I've ridden a bike before!" Leshawna rolled her eyes. "I've just never built one from scratch. That's all. There's too many pieces."

"Well, you better start reading the manual because the guys have an alliance going and it looks like Heather and Lindsay are still sharing a brain, which means it's us against them." Gwen informed Leshawna before carrying off a box of bike parts. But from the corner of her eye, Gwen spotted Lincoln working on…something that definitely couldn't be labeled as a bike. "Although…looks like we might not need to worry about Lincoln this round."

"Come on…come on…" Lincoln was as steady as he could have been as he was tightening the bolt on his hodgepodge of random parts…only for it to quickly fall apart as he tightened the bolt. "Dang it…"

"Yikes, poor q-tip." Leshawna said with a bit of a sympathetic tone. But a grin quickly came to Leshawna's face as she looked at the pedal in her hand. "But I'm sure I can do better than that. How hard can it be?"

"Woohoo! Hey, Leshawna!" Calling out to the girl with a tude was the orange head Izzy…sitting on a completely finished and rather decent looking bike. "Come with me, kay? I've already built my bike!"

"How'd you do that so fast?" Leshawna asked with a surprised tone as she walked towards the psycho hose beast.

"Oh, my brother was a mechanic before he got run over and developed a fear of motor vehicles." Izzy explained with a laugh before patting the handle bars of her bike. "Come on! Let's take it for a test drive! Woohoo!"

"Alright." Leshawna agreed with a smirk. "You're on."

CONFESSIONAL – LESHAWNA

"That girl might be crazy, but I wasn't about to pass up an opportunity to win this race." Leshawna stated as she put her hands to her hips. "Her bike looked fine."

And so Leshawna took up Izzy's offer. The seat was somewhat bigger enough for the both of them with Leshawna in the front and Izzy sitting right behind her. "Sweet!" Izzy cheered as Leshawna adjusted herself on the bike. "Your extra weight will totally help out with our speed!"

"Uh, I'm gonna take that as a compliment." Leshawna said with a small glare. She honestly doubted Izzy was actually calling her fat or anything like that, but still couldn't help but feel a little agitated at the orange head's choice of words.

"Okay!" Izzy cheered before putting her feet on the pedals and going as fast as she could. Leshawna quickly started screaming as Izzy went full speed and sent the two of them forward…and pedaling down a steep inclined that only sped them up more.

"Woah!" As they sped down, they ended up passing by Dawn who was able to dodge the two. The nature lover had her arms full of natural material from moss, to flowers, and leaves. "Oh my goodness! I hope they'll be ok." But Dawn couldn't worry about that for long. She had a bike to make!

As Dawn went to go build her bike, she received a glare from Heather who was leaning next to the door to the shed. Just then the door opened with Lindsay stepping out. "Hey, look. It's an ugly doll with pretty hair just like you!" Lindsay showed Heather a ragdoll with hair similar to the queen bee's. "I'm gonna use her for my bike."

CONFESSIONAL – LINDSAY

"I think sometimes I say the wrong thing." Lindsay explained as she had a feeling she accidentally insulted Heather. "One time, I told my math teacher that his new hairpiece looks like my dog's butt. But he totally took it the wrong way. My dog has the cutest curly little butt! It was a compliment!"

"Ahahahah. Cute." Heather let out hollowly. The queen bee having to resist yelling and insulting Lindsay at this. "Just don't forget to build my bike first so I can protect you from the vote."

CONFESSIONAL – LINDSAY

"This other time, I got caught in a three-way calling attack and I told one friend that the other was cheating on her boyfriend or something." Lindsay began telling another story. "And anyways, she totally got dumped that day. It was so random. I wonder if it had something to do with the call."

And so bike after bike was made and completed. Nearly all the campers having something ready for the challenge. And after a certain amount of time passed, "Campers! Time to judge your bikes!" Chris announced through the loud speakers, announcing to everyone that it was time to stop constructing their bikes. "Put your pedal to the metal and meet me at the Crafts Center!"

And so every camper did as Chris instructed. With the exception of Izzy and Leshawna, all campers gathered up where Chris instructed with their bikes. "Well, campers, we gave you the parts. Let's see what you came up with." Chris said as he walked up to the first camper, that being Heather. "Excellent aerodynamics, Heather."

Heather's bike, with Lindsay having built it with no help, was just as Chris said. Aerodynamic as well as light weight along with the engine to Chef's now dismantled motorcycle attached to it with a red button on one of the handle bars. "It only weighs two ounces." Heather bragged with a smirk.

"Like her brain." Gwen spoke up getting Heather to glare at her.

This got Chris to move onto Gwen. The goth's bike was more bulky then Heather's with bigger wheels, a wider frame, and decorations added to it such as a pair of bat-like wings attached to the sides. "Spooky, yet practical. Well done." Chris complimented before moving onto the next camper, being Duncan.

Duncan's bike looked like something out of an apocalypse movie with a skull ornament in front and barbed wire around some of the parts. "Wicked Mad Max-mobile, dude." Chris said while giving Duncan a thumbs up.

Next up was Courtney who had a bike that resembled a Hybrid Bicycle. The seat was high up along with some sturdy wheels fit for all terrain. "Lacking in creativity." Chris stated as Courtney's bike didn't have anything too truly make it stand out. "But looks versatile and built for speed."

"Function over style if you ask me." Courtney said as she patted her bike's seat. Courtney chose not to make her bike flashy. Flashiness doesn't win a race after all.

The next bike up for show was Lindsay's. The dumb blond's bike had a bell, some frills attached to the handle bars, a cute pink horse mask in the front, and a broom attached to the back. "Go ahead. Ring her bell." Chris proceeded to do just that with the bell making the sound most bike bells made. "The real bike has sound effects like this, nyaaaaah! Nyaaaah!"

Next up was DJ and…it was easy to see DJ worked more on his own protection then his bike. DJ was covered head to in makeshift armor, even wearing a medieval style helmet, and his bike was a four-wheeler of all things. "Dude, seriously?" Chris questioned as DJ lowered his armored covered head a bit. "This is lame."

After DJ was Dawn. "Hmmm, interesting design choice." Chris stated as he looked over Dawn's bike. Nearly all of Dawn's bike was covered in the decorations she gathered in the woods. The top part of the bike, including the seat, was covered in moss. A large flower was in between the handle bars, tulips attached to the middle of the wheels that spun around with them, and a large maple leaf acted as the flag for the bike, "I'd expect nothing less from you moon child."

"I call it, The Earthly Chariot." Dawn said as she gently patted her bike.

Next up was Lincoln and…Chris was certainly speechless at the sight. "Dude…what the heck even is this?" What Lincoln presented could be called many things. But Bike certainly wasn't one of them. It was pretty much a random assortment of parts bolted, glued, or taped together. The host wasn't even sure you can sit on it without causing major behind damage.

"Uuuuuuh…" Lincoln let out nervously. "Modern art?"

"Riiiiiight…" Chris let out with a raised eyebrow. Chris then started to shake his head at Lincoln. "Yeeeeeah, yeah you're out dude."

Lincoln sighed as he sat down on the ground. "Yeah that's fair…" Lincoln glumly let out as he rested his cheek on his fist.

As Chris went to go judge the last camper that was actually there Edward, still wearing the biker's helmet, waddled up to Lincoln and crawled up on his lap with Lincoln instinctively petting the egg laying mammal. Just then the Loud boy felt a peck on his cheek and looked to see his girlfriend smiling at him. "You gave it your best shot." Dawn reassured Lincoln as the aura reader patted his shoulder. "Don't worry, I'll win this for both of us."

"Heh, thanks." Despite not even getting past the first part of the challenge, Dawn just instantly lifted Lincoln's mood. "And hey, this just means me and Edward can sit on the sidelines and cheer for you."

"Brbrbrb!" Edward supported with Dawn giggling in response.

"Owen, nice job!" Chris complimented the last bike present which was from the big guy himself. Owen's bike perfectly fitted and supported him. Plus it was a recumbent so it would do wonders on his back. Just then Chris looked around and found that two of the eleven campers were missing. "Hey, where's Izzy and Leshawna?"

Currently they were doing a wheelie down a hill.

"Oh well. Their loss. Cause this is where it gets good." Chris began to explain making a few of the campers grow excited over this. "We're gonna race these babies, hard!"

"Ha, awesome!" Heather said with nothing but pure confidence. "Because my bike is built for speed, right, Lindsay?"

"Totally!" Lindsay confirmed for the queen bee.

"Yeah, unfortunately, you won't be riding it, Heather. You'll be switching bikes." Chris revealed a surprise twist that caught everyone off guard. This got many gasped and/or surprised expressions from the campers that Chris couldn't help but give a quick laugh at. "Yeah. Cruel twist, huh? Alrighty then. See you at the beach!"

CONFESSIONAL – LINCOLN

"Ya know, we really should be expecting this kind of thing by now." Lincoln stated as everyone on the island really should suspect Chris to put in some sort of weird or cruel twist to a challenge. But then the Loud boy sighed as he lowered his head. "Or I guess I should say they should have all been expecting it…but what did happen to Izzy and Leshawna anyway?"

And so everyone made it with their bikes to the beach. Chris was in his ATV while Chef was in front of a starting line with a red flag and reading a book. Meanwhile Lincoln and Edward were sitting on the grassy area that led to the beach looking down at all the participators of the second round with Lincoln having a little flag with Dawn's name on it with Edward having a similar flag taped to his tail.

"Okay, here's how it works. Everyone picks a name out of the helmet to see whose bike you're riding." Chris explained the rules of round two as he pulled out a bike helmet full of folded pieces of paper. "If your bike makes it across the finish line, then you get to ride it in the final round for invincibility."

Everyone proceeded to pull out a piece of paper to see who's creation they would be riding. When Heather looked at hers, she quickly growled and crumbled it up. She probably got the worst possible bike of the bunch, DJ's. "Hey, lookie." Speaking to Heather with an excited tone was Lindsay as she showed who's bike she got. "I got your bike!"

"Excellent!" Heather said as she put an arm around Lindsay's neck and pulled the dumb blond close so only she could hear her. Lindsay was definitely the best one for her bike to end up with. Heather figured everyone else would have just destroyed her bike on purpose. "If you cross the finish line on my bike, then I get to ride for invincibility. So, if it looks like you're losing, just press the red button."

With that information in Lindsay's head, everyone got ready as they boarded the bike of another camper. Heather was on DJ's bike, Lindsay on Heather's, Courtney on Gwen's, Duncan on Lindsay's, Gwen on Owen's, DJ and Dawn's, Owen's on Duncan's, and Dawn's on Courtney's. "Now, before we start, has anyone seen Leshawna or Izzy?" Chris asked one last time to see if it was possible for any of those two to show up.

Currently, Izzy was pedaling so fast she and Leshawna were biking up the river.

When everyone simply shrugged, showing that they didn't know where either was, Chris simply shrugged and decided to get things started. "Okay, racers!" Chris called out to as he rose a hand in the air. "On your marks, get set…paramedics on standby…and…tread!"

And just like that, all the campers took off as quickly as they could. Well, all except Owen who didn't know how to start going because of one key feature on Duncan's bike. "Hey! Where's the pedals?" Owen tried to call out to Duncan so he would know how to move this thing forward.

But Owen wasn't the only one who was struggling to get things going. Heather was also having a tough time to get DJ's bike to move forward. No matter how hard she pressed down on the pedals, the bike remained stuck in place. And when she tried to kick it forward, she was met with a horrible stubbed toe.

When it came to the other campers, they all had various degrees of control over their bikes. With Gwen having Owen's bike, the position of the seat and the pedals meant she had to lean down rather far to actually pedal the bike forward which resulted in getting a bunch of blown sand in her eyes. Making it difficult to see forward.

With Duncan, he had to admit it, "Okay, this is messed up, but yeehaw, this is one movin' ride!" The delinquent let out as Lindsay steered toward him.

"I know, right!" Lindsay said, a bit proud of herself for making her dream bike and making it a good one.

With DJ, the brick house was pretty scared at first. He's ridden bikes before, but usually at really low speeds so that way he couldn't injure himself. But this was a race. Meaning he had to go fast. And it didn't help that he overheard some rather gruesome and gory stories from the campers about their first bike rides. But thankfully, Dawn's Earthly Chariot seemed to be working well for the brick house.

All except for one thing…

The bike was build for someone of Dawn's weight. Light and fast. But DJ, well needless to say the amount of muscle he had made him just a bit heavier than the aura reader. Enough so that Dawn's bike started to break apart a little bit.

"AAAAAAHHHH!" DJ screamed as Dawn's bike finally broke apart due to his weight. DJ skidded on the sand a bit as Dawn's bike parts scattered around the area DJ crashed at. And coming right up riding Gwen's bike was Courtney.

"Oh-no! Oh-no! Oh-no! Oh-AAAAHHHH!" Courtney tried to steer away, but she didn't know how to properly control Gwen's bike. This let to the CIT riding right through all the broken parts of the Earthly Chariot resulting in her crashing and breaking Gwen's bike and landed right next to DJ on the sand.

"Forgot…to wear…chalk." DJ let out as he and Courtney groaned in pain.

And then Heather, who was pushing DJ's bike, proceeded to crash right into them resulting in the scattered parts of three bikes.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Just then they swore they heard Owen screaming as a blur passed by them.

Needless to say Owen passed through the finish line first. Soon followed up by Lindsay on Heather's bike, Duncan on Lindsay's bike, Gwen on Owen's bike, and finally Dawn on Courtney's bike.

After Dawn passed the finish line, Chris drove up on his ATV with a grin on his face. "Yes! We have three awesome wipe-outs by Heather, Courtney, and DJ!" Chris said to the camera with a hyped-up tone. Nothing gets the ratings up like some good old-fashioned race crashes. "Five invincibility race winners! Owen's fun machine, Heather's speed machine, Lindsay's Sunset Sally. Courtney's hybrid, and Duncan's Lethal Weapon!"

All bikes were present for this…except for Duncan's whose bike was still zooming around the island with Owen holding on for dear life. "How do I stop this thing?!" Owen screamed as he started to close in on everyone.

"Slam the hood ornament!" Duncan yelled to Owen.

"Okay!" Owen quickly did as Duncan said and slammed the hood ornament. Thankfully this did stop the bike, but the sudden stop also launched Owen right off it and causing the big guy to crash face first into the sand…and Chef. "Ochie…"

"Awesome finish, Owen." Chris laughed at the big guy's crash before looking to the camera. "It's time to head over to the TDI Motocross."

As Chris drove off on his ATV, Lindsay walked over to Heather and asked. "Is this the part where you help save my butt from being voted off?"

"Not yet." Heather whispered back to the dumb blond. Couldn't risk anyone over hearing and messing up her plan. "We have to make sure we win this part of the challenge, too. So get your A-game on!"

A quick update on Izzy and Leshawna, the two were currently biking through a thorn bush.

And now it was time for the final part of the challenge. Participating in the last race was Heather, Lindsay, Owen, Courtney, and Duncan. They were all just waiting for the race to start. "Wow." Owen said to Lindsay as the big guy looked at her bike. "Sweet wheels!"

"I know right?" Lindsay smiled in response as she looked at Owen's bike. "And P.S. I love yours."

"Oh, me too." Owen cheered as he chuckled a bit and squeezed the handle bars. "It's so much fun to ride."

Just then Owen's ear was harshly grabbed by Duncan. "Dude, I've got one word for you. Focus!" Duncan whispered harshly to the big guy. "Or I'm gonna kick your butt into next week!"

"Focus, right." Owen nervously let out. Duncan really knew how to strike fear into the large goofball. "Negatory on the fun! Done!"

Meanwhile Courtney gripped the handle bars of her hike tightly before glaring at Heather. "Hope you're ready to lose sand face." Courtney told the queen bee, making a remark of the sand thrown in Heather's face that morning.

"In your dreams C. !" Heather yelled back at Courtney making the CIT growl at her.

Finally Chris drove up to the campers on his ATV and was ready to get the challenge started. "Campers, welcome to the…Moto, Moto, Moto Cross, Cross, Cross Challenge, Challenge, Challenge!" Chris announced, giving himself an echo which simply got confused looks from both the racers and the spectators. "Using your own bikes, you'll race the course, avoiding hidden pitfalls. Cue the death traps!"

Looking forward at the course, the campers saw that there were three main parts of the course. "There's dodging the land mines." Chris pressed a button on a remote to make a few explosions go off. "Maneuvering through the oil slick." After the mines was a large area completely coated with oil. "And finally, jumping the piranhas!" Last up was a large rectangular body of water filled with a bunch of small but deadly fish.

"Oh and one more thing. Campers…welcome to the second sudden death round!" Chris revealed making all the racers gasp, with some even putting on a fearful look. "Here's how it works, the last one to cross the finish line automatically gets voted off the island. No bonfire, do not pass go, do not collect a marshmallow."

"So the answer is simple." Courtney stated with a confident tone. "Don't come in last place. And I don't intend to do that!"

As Lindsay gulped in fear, Heather proceeded to whisper into the dumb blond's ear. "Okay, so here's our strategy." Heather began as Lindsay had an unsure look on her face. "We have to stick together so that we can win the race. So, you go first and clear a path through the mines."

"Uh-huh…" Lindsay let out, not liking this plan so far.

"Then go through the oil slick so I can see how to get through it." Heather continued with the plan.

"O-Okay." Lindsay stuttered, liking the plan less and less.

"If you make it through those two parts, then the third part is easy." Heather 'reassured' the dumb blond. "Just keep the piranhas busy while I speed through."

Lindsay flinched a bit as she swore, she could hear the piranha bites. "W-Wait, then you'll win, not me." Lindsay pointed out. It seemed like she was doing all the work for this one, both in the first and this round, shouldn't she be the one to take the win?

"Exactly." Heather smirked.

For the first time, Lindsay didn't want Heather to get the gold on this one. "I was thinking it would be really fun if I won a challenge for myself for once." The dumb blond told the queen bee. She respected and liked Heather, but so far Lindsay hasn't really gotten a single win so far. Even during the hide and seek challenge last time Heather hogged DJ and Owen to herself leaving her without invincibility.

"Yeah, that's a great idea in theory." Heather was quick to get Lindsay off this state of mind. She didn't need the dumb blond to suddenly gain individuality and stray away from her. She needed her pawn. "But then who would come up with all the new strategies to get us through the next week?"

"Mm, right." Lindsay seemed to see the logic in Heather's words and nodded. "Okay!"

"Don't worry." Heather told Lindsay as she looked forward towards the course. "If the piranhas don't eat you, then you'll definitely be second, which means Owen, Courtney, or Duncan gets last and we make it through another challenge."

CONFESSIONAL – LINDSAY

"Heather's really smart!" Lindsay said with a big smile on her face. "I'm lucky to have her as a friend."

CONFESSIONAL – HEATHER

"I have no way of knowing if she'll come in second." Heather immediately stated, not even caring if Lindsay got second or not. "The only thing that's really important is that I come in first. This challenge will be mine!"

"Racers!" Chris called out as he rose a gun to the sky. "Take your positions…making sure there are no birds this time…..go!" Chris then shot the gun into the sky, after making sure he wouldn't hit anything, and started off the race.

And with that the racers were off! With the exception of Owen nearly all of them were neck and neck. With Owen, the big guy's size and weight did a number on his speed. That and the fact that he had to bike up hill didn't really do him any favors. But he didn't have to worry about that for long.

When the big guy made it to the area where the mines were at, he quickly triggered one. Owen was sent up into the sky with his bike quickly being destroyed from the explosion. Owen was about to crash into Chef yet again, but the camp cook managed to duck before the goof ball hit him…and then proceeded to have one of the tires to Owen's bike land on his head.

Heather, Duncan, and Courtney managed to either dodge the explosions or out speed them. But Lindsay actually used one to her advantage as one went off behind her and gave her a boost forward.

When they reached the oil spill, Courtney managed to get through it by hitting the breaks on her bike and drift forward and lessening the affects the oil had on her wheels. Her boyfriend wasn't so lucky however. Duncan's Lethal Weapon was built for speed, and oil was the natural enemy of speed. This lead to Duncan quickly crash into the oil and coloring most of his body black with his bike soon falling apart.

But once again Lindsay proceeded to be a surprising MVP in this obstacle. Doing a wheelie, Lindsay managed to go through the oil in a straight line with the broom attached to the back of her bike absorbing the oil Lindsay passed and creating an oil free path for Heather.

Due to Courtney losing speed, Lindsay was able to catch up to the CIT. Both were neck and neck with each other as they approached the last obstacle. The piranha pit. Lindsay's fear took over her for a bit leading to the dumb blond to hit the brakes and start skidding on the water. Meanwhile Courtney decided to do the sensible thing…and go around the piranha pit.

CONFESSIONAL – COURTNEY

"Why do I feel like I'm the only one to think to go around the pit of killer fish." Courtney deadpanned into the camera.

Meanwhile Chris was watching this happen with binoculars and frowned a bit at Courtney's move. "Ya know…" The host let out. "Probably should have done something to keep them from doing that."

"Oh boy." Lincoln let out as he and everyone else watched with growing anticipation. "This is gonna be a close one."

"Wait…" Gwen narrowed her eyes at the scene as she looked at Heather who was closing in on the piranha pit. "What's that little monster up to?"

Heather was grinning. This was perfect. She'd be able to win, and get Courtney back a little. And so when the queen bee reached the piranha's…she pressed the red button on her bike. Just then the engine she had Lindsay take from Chef's bike started off and Heather's bike proceeded to out speed the wind. So much so that the queen bee managed to completely jump over the pit of killer fish.

"Come on…" Courtney let out as she got closer and closer to the finish line. "Come on! Come on! Come-"

CRASH!

"AAAAAAHHH!" Courtney screamed as she was sent into the air. Unfortunately for the CIT, Heather was making sure no one else but her would take first place. By any means necessary. And so with her bike going faster than any bicycle should, Heather rammed right into Courtney. Breaking her bike and launching the CIT right into the lake.

And finally, crossing the finish line.

"AH COME ON!" Lincoln and Dawn stood up in frustration. The other spectators weren't all too happy either. "HOW DOES THAT (BLEEP) KEEP WINNING?!"

CONFESSIONAL – DAWN

"Dear Mother Nature…" Dawn growled a bit in frustration as she glared into the camera. "What is taking karma so long to strike?!"

"Yay! You won!" With her bike covered in piranha's, Lindsay soon crossed the finish line herself. She then proceeded to give Heather a hug that the queen bee wasn't all too happy in getting. "We did it! We're safe!"

"That's not exactly true." Chris suddenly said getting Heather to grin and for Lindsay to frown a bit as the queen bee pushed her away. "Heather is safe because her bike crossed the line first, but since Duncan, Courtney, and Owen wiped out and didn't complete the race…they technically didn't cross the line at all. Which makes you the last one to cross the line. Which means it's Dock of Shame time, baby."

Everyone watching gasped at the information. That…was such a technicality! And worst then that, Heather looked happy about this! Despite everything Lindsay did for Heather, the queen bee was more then happy to see the dumb blond off. "Okay, I'm so confused." And poor innocent Lindsay couldn't even keep up with what was going on.

"It means the rule of sudden death has spoken." Heather told Lindsay with an evil grin on her face. "Sorry, but that's just how the cookie crumbles sometimes. Nothing I can do about it. Oh well, I'm sure you understand."

Heather was about to walk off to enjoy a victory shower, but was stopped by Lindsay grabbing her wrist. "But I won." Lindsay stated as Heather quickly glared at her. "I even built your bike."

Heather laughed nervously as she yanked her hand away from Lindsay. "I don't know what she's talking about." Heather quickly denied as Lindsay frowned sadly. "You should just leave with your dignity intact. It will make you seem much more cuter in the instant replays."

This quickly got everyone to gasp and glare at Heather. Just when they thought the queen bee couldn't get crueler, she gets crueler. "But we were going to the final three together." Lindsay stated, but all Heather did was shrug and said they simply weren't with no empathy at all. "Aren't you even sad? We're BFFs"

"Yeah, for the contest." Heather grinned and crossed her arms at Lindsay. "I mean, it's not like we're gonna be best friends for life or anything."

CONFESSIONAL – LINDSAY

"I can't believe she said that!" Lindsay gasped out. Heather…betrayed her. She didn't even care!

"I can't believe you just said that! But we pinkie swore!" Lindsay stated with a gasp. Just then the dumb blond started giving a deep hate filled glare at Heather. "You mean, I've been helping you all this time and you didn't even like me?"

"Uh, truth? Not really, no." Heather didn't even hesitate to reveal this. Meanwhile Lindsay felt like crying right now. Heather noticed all the death stares she was receiving from the spectators above, Dawn being the one to give surprisingly the most frightening one, to the wiped-out campers, even Chef was shaking his head at Heather. "What? We're not here to make friends, we're here to become celebrities, remember?"

"Ooh, that's cold, brah." Duncan stated as he and Courtney walked out of the oil and water respectively and glared at Heather.

"Oh, like you're such a team player." Heather scoffed with Courtney visibly restraining herself from strangling Heather. "All you do is go around scaring the crap out of everyone."

"At least I'm straight with people!" Duncan yelled back. He'll fully admit to not being a good person, but not even he would stoop to Heather's level.

"And does all of his challenges!" Courtney claimed as she crossed her arms. "If it wasn't for her, you'd be eliminated weeks ago! And good luck finding an ally now!"

"Pfft, whatever. It's a sudden death round." Heather claimed, not at all taken back by their claims. "No one can touch me."

"This week." Gwen growled as everyone glared at Heather.

"You really are mean!" Lindsay yelled as her anger started to over flow out of her. It was something she's never felt before. "And all that bad stuff people say about you is true. Like how you're a two-faced, back-stabbing lying little (BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPP!)"

And just like that, Lindsay gave probably the longest swearing rant in reality TV history. And with a middle finger to boot! Everyone couldn't believe their ears. Except for Dawn whose ears were quickly covered by Lincoln. Owen, Chef, and Courtney's jaw dropped; Gwen smirked as DJ silently 'Ooooooh'd'.

Even Heather had a look of stunned horror on her face at Lindsay's words. "I always told them they were wrong. I stood up for you because I thought we were BFFs! But they're right! You really are a two-faced, back-stabbing lying little(BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPP!)"

Chris grinned with a face that showed exactly what he was thinking. 'I'm gonna get views today!' Even the animals around the island felt stunned from this profanity. Although Edward took advantage of this and pulled out a tape recorder to record the whole thing.

"And guess what? I don't wanna be BFFS anymore!" Lindsay yelled right into Heather's face. "I'd rather spend the day staring at Owen's butt than shopping with you. And P.S. Your shoes are tacky!"

Heather gasped as everyone either cheered for Lindsay or laughed at Heather. "Oh, go jump in the piranha pool!" Heather yelled at Lindsay and was about to walk away…until some screaming was heard. For the first time since this morning Leshawna and Izzy finally returned with both of them still on Izzy's bike. The two suddenly crashed right into Heather and sent the queen bee flying into the piranha pool.

"…Hey Chris I found em!" Lincoln yelled to the host with a grin.

CONFESSIONAL – LINDSAY

"I don't know what came over me." Lindsay stated before a large grin came over her face. "Oh, wait, yes I do! Heather's a total (BLEEEEEEE-)

CONFESSIONAL – LINCOLN

"Well…" Lincoln slowly began. "I've learned some new swear words."

THAT NIGHT

There was nothing any body could do about it. Lindsay was gonna have to leave the island. Everyone gathered up at the dock to see the dumb blond off as she carried her stuff. "Thanks for all your support, Greta." Lindsay told Gwen with a hug and, in true Lindsay fashion, got her name wrong. Lindsay then gave a hug to Leshawna. "I love you, Laquisha."

"Take care, girlfriend." Leshawna hugged Lindsay back. "If it makes you feel better, we would've kept you on."

"Really? Thanks." Lindsay said with a grateful tone before walking forward. "Kick Heather's butt for me."

"My pleasure." Leshawna chuckled.

"Bye guys! See you at the finale!" Lindsay gave everyone her goodbyes. She then went up to Dawn and gave her a hug. "Bye Lincoln." Dawn chuckled a bit at Lindsay calling her the name of her boyfriend. Lindsay then gave Lincoln a hug. "By Dawn."

"Um, Lindsay I'm-" Lincoln was about to correct Lindsay on his name, but given everything today as well as her leaving, simply gave the blond a soft expression and another quick hug. "Gonna miss you."

"I'll miss you too." Lindsay patted Lincoln's back a few times before moving onto Owen who looked like he was about to cry. "Aww, I think I'm gonna miss you the most."

Owen finally broke down in tears and hugged Lindsay tightly. "ME TOO!" Owen cried and squeezed Lindsay a few times before letting her go. "BYE!"

And then Lindsay came across the last person on the dock. Heather. Lindsay narrowed her eyes at the queen bee and smirked. "Good luck, Heather. I hope you get everything your karma owes you." Heather simply scoffed at the dumb blond's words before storming off. "Okay. I'm ready."

And with that, Lindsay got on the Boat of Losers and was brought off the island. And with the loss of a great and lovable camper came the end of another episode of Total. Drama. Island.
