Total Drama Island: Return To Wawanakwa

Episode 19: The Final Countdown- Final Challenge Pt.1

"Welcome back to the finale of Total Drama Island: Return to Wawanakwa!" Chris welcomed, "Before the break, the final two were re-introduced to the eighteen eliminated campers, each backing up a finalist of their choice. With the final challenge soon to begin, let's get down to the action!"

--------

"Alright, it's time to introduce the final challenge of the season, humbly named: The Total Drama Gauntlet," Chris declared, "This challenge is separated into five different stages. In the first stage, known as the 'Shovel Sprint', you will have to run down a forest path in order to obtain three shovels at the end. While doing this, you must do your best to avoid a few traps set up, including a crossfire of arrows, wrecking balls, and spikes."

"And...this is where we die," Rhythm rationalized.

"Don't worry, because of the lawyers, none of these traps can actually kill you. They may hurt you, but they won't kill you," Chris assured, "After getting three shovels, you must head to the 'Cube Minefield' on the beach, where you must dig in designated spots in order to find a cube with your colour in it. But beware: there are more traps hidden in the sand, ranging from a punching glove to a bag of hot trash."

"Just like the beach challenge in All-Stars," Amalia recalled.

"Correct," Chris agreed, "In the third challenge: The Manual Motor Mayhem, you must pedal a specially-made car through the forest all the way to the Wawanakwa mountain. In addition, you will be able to use paintball guns to shoot your opponent in order to make them crash."

"Pedal cars?" Rhythm asked again.

"We were informed before the season that not all contestants have their driver's license, so we can't legally allow you to drive real cars. Anyways, it's much harder this way," Chris rationalized, "For the fourth stage, you must run up the mountain while Chef will attempt to hit you with his meatball gun."

"Figures," Amalia remarked, recalling the third challenge of the season.

"Once you reach the top, you must take your cube and place it into the beacon, which will project a wide beam of light into the sky, sealing your victory," Chris finished, "Any questions?"

"Yes: why do we need three shovels?" Rhythm asked, "We can't use three shovels at once."

"You can if you have people alongside you," Chris noted, "Per the lawyer's request, you will each be able to choose two campers from your 'cheer squad' to help you during the challenge. They will not be able to win, but they can help in any way that they can."

With that, the two finalists turned around to look at their set of bleachers. For Amalia, her choice was easy; although, granted that she only had three people to choose from, she didn't have much of a choice with who to pick. Conversely, Rhythm had a plethora of people to choose from, and wasn't certain over who would help her the most.

"Amalia, who would you like to choose?" Chris asked.

"I'll pick Ellie and Callie," Amalia declared.

"Yay!" Ellie cheered as she ran over to hug Amalia.

"Yeah..." Callie interjected, much less enthusiastically than Ellie.

"I'm not too thrilled with being thrown into the most dangerous challenge of the season, but if Amalia wants me to compete with her, I'm going to do all I can to help her win."- Callie

"Rhythm, who will you pick?" Chris asked.

"I'd like to volunteer!" Daniel declared as he stood up from his seat, "I've got something to prove."
