Total Drama Rebirth
Ep. 1 Part 1: Their Baaaaaaaaaaaack
Welcome to the first chapter of Total Drama Rebirth. Usually I will write important stuff at the end of each chapter, but I thought it might be nice going into this story with a bit of background and set up. So here you guys go.
Reasons for writing this story: I was bored. I love watching TDI. I wanted to write a story.
Inspirations: The Kobold Necromancer (since he basically inspires every TD writer)
Starting time of story: Three months after Total Drama Island (This is a parallel universe to the regular universe)
Current pairings: Bridgette/Geoff, Gwen/Trent, Duncan/Courtney, and Tyler/Lindsay. Before the season is over, here will be more pairings and some heartbreaks.
Personal note: This is my first fan fiction. It might be good; it might be sloppy. Either way, reviews would be helpful while making this story. Remember: Be brutally honest.
It had been three months since the new, hit reality show Total Drama Island stormed North America and other developed regions. The 22 contestants who fought for glory, fame, and a small fortune became instant celebrities. Well, most of them. The contestants, most tired and battered, were ready to move on with their lives. Unfortunately for them, Chris Maclean had other ideas.
Unknown to the contestants, the contract they signed entitled them to 5 total seasons. When they discovered this secret, they quickly sued the crap out of Chris.
All of them lost their cases.
So now, the 22 unfortunate contestants are sitting on twenty-one separate boats, heading back to Camp Wawanakwa. Here is their story.
Chris Maclean stood on the dock, a huge grin on his face. Today couldn't be a better day. The sun was shining. The birds were singing. The 22 contestants from season one of his hit reality show were returning to the island to make a second season and increase the mountain that was his paycheck.
Truth be told, the gorgeous host needed this second season. Despite winning all of the lawsuits from the contestants, the huge amount of them drained Chris' cash. And anyone who messes with Chris Maclean's money messes with him. Unknown to the contestants, Chris planned to make this second season a living hell for the contestants.
Either way, Chris still had an intro to do, and he wasn't going to spoil this season just to get petty revenge. He was going to get full blown vengeance.
With a quick tug of his collar and a flash of his smile, Chris Maclean stepped into the only location suited for him: in front of the camera.
"Welcome back to Camp Wawanakwa," he opened, "somewhere in Muskoka, Ontario.
"Our previous season, Total Drama Island, put 22 contestants up against intense drama, revolting food, crazy opponents, and a lot of pain.
"Since this is our second season, I can personally promise that all of that will be doubled this season. More pain, more romance, and a ton more drama! Right here, on Total... Drama... Rebirth!"
(Cue new intro)
The intro begins with the same camera pan until it hits the water.
It shows Owen underwater where he releases a giant fart bubble.
The camera moves just above Owen where Justin is sitting in between Sadie and Katie. As the two talk to him the fart bubble hits the surface, grossing all three out.
A wave then washes them away. On top of the wave are Bridgette and Geoff surfing. Just below them is Izzy trying to teach Ezekiel how to surf. He falls of his board as it goes flying towards the beach.
The board lands right next to DJ, who panics and begins running across the beach, kicking sand into Noah's face. Frustrated, Noah throws the book he was reading into the forest.
The book lands on top of Cody's head, causing him to fall into Eva's arms. He gives her his usual sly grin, preceding her to chuck him to a different edge of the island.
The geek lands face first in the dirt, causing Tyler, who is in the middle of a jog, to trip and fall right behind Duncan.
Duncan is revealed to be holding an enraged Courtney back from Harold, who is busy chatting with Leshawna. Courtney furiously screams, causing a frightened bird to fly across the screen.
The camera follows the bird until the camera finds Trent playing a song for Gwen on his guitar. Gwen sees the camera and uppercuts it into the sky.
As the camera is in midflight, the day turns to night, and the camera lands in front of Heather, who is in between a chatty Beth and Lindsay. As the two friends talk, Chef and Chris jump up in between the girls, scaring all three of them. The camera pans out to reveal the other 19 campers just staring at them and whistling. Just above them is the same sign from Total Drama Island, just with a nailed in wooden plank that say "Rebirth" over the part that says "Island".
(End new intro)
Chris paced around the dock, waiting for the contestants to return. Before long, the roar of an engine was heard. The boat took a quick stop to let off its passenger, and then flew off screen.
"Eva!" Chris opened. "Welcome back to season 2. I hope you plan on making your stay here longer…"
Chris was stopped dead short as a giant fist hit him in the gut. Eva, the owner of the fist, began walking away from him, only managing to mutter, "I intend to."
As Chris regained his composure, the second boat pulled up and out came Gwen.
"Gwen." Chris greeted. "Good to see you again. How's life…"
Chris was stopped short again as a second fist hit him in the abdomen. Gwen, the owner of the second fist, trudged over to the other side of the dock, only muttering, "Eat it, McClean."
"Man," Chris thought to himself, "next time we do a season introduction, I need to remember to put on some body armor."
As Gwen and Eva gave Chris the death stare, a much nicer contestant arrived.
"Yeeeeeeeeessssssssss!" screamed Owen. "I'm back baby. Chris, it is so awesome to see you again."
"Oweeeeeeeeeeeeeen!" replied Chris. "Good to see you to buddy."
"I'm so happy to see you guys again." Owen continued. "I'm so happy, I could just hug you!"
Before Chris knew what was going on, Owen pulled him into one of his good-old bear hugs. Due to the strong nature of these hugs, the receiver tends to be suffocated. Gasping for air, Chris managed to mutter, "Alright, Owen. You can let go now."
Owen quickly obeyed, released a blue-skinned Chris, and moved over to where the other two contestants stood.
"Gwen!" he yelled.
Gwen was quickly wrapped up in one of Owen's hugs. She couldn't help but smile at the large teenager. She thought Owen was one of the sweetest guys on the island. That and he nearly choked Chris to death, an act that earns instant respect from Gwen.
Owen quickly released her and moved over to Eva.
"Eva!" he said.
Eva quickly gave Owen a glare that caused the big guy to scream and jump off the bridge. Eva watched him fall into the lake then quickly looked back at the other end of the dock to await the rest of her competition.
As Chris caught his breathe, the fourth boat pulled up. Katie and Sadie quickly ran off the boat to greet the other contestants.
"Oh my god! Sadie, look! We're back!" Katie started.
"Oh, I know, right? This season is going to be so much better." continued Sadie.
"Especially since we are both going to win!" they screamed simultaneously.
"Oh, no," muttered Gwen.
Eva, Gwen, and Chris all clasped their ears shut. Owen resurfaced just in time to hear the two BFFFL's make their loudest squeal. As the two finished, Chris reopened his ears.
"Alright, you two. Just go and join the other contestants," he directed.
The two walked over to the others as the fifth boat pulled up. DJ quickly jumped off the boat and scanned the surrounding area.
"Is everyone alright?" he asked. "I heard screaming."
Chris gave a quick point to Sadie and Katie, causing the gentle giant to sigh in relief.
"Good to have you back to the island buddy," Chris added.
"Yeah," DJ replied uncertainly. "Good to be back."
After a quick high five with the host, DJ joined the other contestants. He quickly noticed a dazed Owen floating in the water.
"Is he alright?" DJ asked Gwen.
"I don't think he covered his ears in time," replied Gwen.
"What?!" screamed Owen.
"Help me get him out of the water?" Gwen sighed.
DJ gave a quick nod to Gwen, and the two began pulling the large teen out of the water. As they struggled to pull him out, another boat pulled up, and a concerned Cody hopped out.
"Ladies," he panicked, "are you all right? I heard screaming."
As she finished pulling Owen up, Gwen gave a quick jerk of her thumb over to the two in the matching uniform. With a quick nod of understanding, Cody quickly put on his usual smirk and began strutting down the dock.
"Chris, man. How ya doing?" he said as he walked past the host.
"Fine, bra," Chris replied.
Cody continued down the dock.
Cody continued with his introductions: "DJ. Owen. Good to see you guys again."
DJ gave Cody gave each other a quick high-five while Owen, still deaf from the screams, coud only say, "What?!"
Cody continued down the dock to Sadie and Katie give each of them a quick point and click of his tongue. The two girls giggled as he made his way over to Gwen.
"So, Gwen," he pried, "how are things with Trent?"
Gwen replied with a death stare that appeared to have unfazed the geek. Nevertheless, he walked off without an answer over towards Eva. Before he could say anything, Eva gave him her death glare, finally shutting him up.
As Cody got comfortable, a new boat pulled up. Inside was the lovely as ever Lindsay.
"Hey, Chip," she said, managing to once again butcher the host's name.
Chris appeared untouched by the screw up: "Welcome back, Lindsay. I can say with much sincerity that the guy contestants and audience are glad to have you bad."
Lindsay, oblivious as usual, ignored the remark and went to join the other contestants.
"Hi everybody!" she said. "It's so good to see you all again. Is Taylor here yet? I've been waiting to see him again."
"You two didn't see each other at all during the off season?" Gwen asked.
"No," replied a worried Lindsay. "I gave him my phone number but he hasn't called or texted me at all."
"Well, I'm sure he's OK," Cody reassured. "He probably just lost the paper."
Lindsay seemed pretty content with this answer and joined the other contestants.
Another boat pulled up and out hopped Geoff. Unlike some of the others, the party animal looked stoked to be back.
"Woooohoooo!" he screamed. "It's so great to back!"
"Geoff, dude," Chris replied. "Good to have you back."
Geoff shared a quick fist bump with the host and ran over to hug DJ and Owen.
"Good to see you guys again" he continued.
As DJ smiled at his friend, Owen could only scream, "What?!"
Eva finally lost it and gave Owen a hard slap across the face.
"Owwwwwww!" he wailed. He then quickly realized his hearing came back and said, "Thanks," to Eva.
Another boat quickly pulled up and out stepped Harold. Harold scanned his surroundings and gave one of his signature sighs.
"Same deal as last season?" he asked the host.
"Yup," the host answered with a satisfied grin.
With another sigh, Harold walked to the other side of the dock, sharing a quick high-five with Cody.
The next boat arrived and Bridgette stepped out, carrying her surfboard.
"Bridgette, glad to have you back dudette," the host greeted her.
"Yeah, cool to be back, I guess," she replied.
She quickly made her way over to Gwen. The two friends smiled at each other's company. Geoff very quickly ran over and started trying to make out with her. Bridgette quickly shoved him back much to his disappointment.
"Not right now, Geoff," she told him. Geoff, defeated, sighed in disappointment. Bridgette quickly gave him a playful smile. "Although, you can come see me when the cameras are off."
Geoff's smile quickly returned as he hugged Bridgette. The other guys, Sadie, Katie, and even Gwen laughed at Bridgette's remark.
"Sorry, Bridgette, but the cameras never go off," interrupted Chris, ruining the fun.
A new boat pulled up and out stepped the man of words himself, Justin. Justin gave a quick nod at Chris, high-fived the guys, and basked in the attention of the ladies.
"So cool," thought Chris.
As everybody was busy taking in Justin's eye candy, a new boat pulled up with Duncan on it. He hopped of the boat and smiled at his surroundings.
"Ah," he sighed. "My favorite part of the year; the part where I'm not in juvi."
"Couldn't agree with you more," added Chris.
Duncan walked over, high-fiving everyone except Harold. Duncan stared at the nerd for a second, put on his sinister grin, spit in his hands, and high-fived the nerd the hardest he could. As he laughed at his own joke, all Harold could manage to mutter was his signature, "Gosh!"
As Duncan continued laughing, Noah's boat pulled. The antisocialist stepped off the boat, emotionless.
"Season 2 of this crap," he said. "Because one season wasn't enough."
He walked past Chris without recognizing Chris, which got on the host's nerves. Noah joined the other contestants without saying a word, opened his book, and read. Unknown to him, someone was actually very happy with his return to the island.
The next boat showed up and out hopped Beth. She looked very excited to be back, even more than Geoff.
"Oh my god," she said. "It is so great to see you guys again."
She rushed over to her friends, completely ignoring Chris which did not please the host.
"How have you all been? It's been far too long since we last talked," Beth continued.
"Hey, Beth, where are your braces?" Gwen asked.
"No more braces for this girl," Beth proudly replied. "I'm a changed woman."
Most the girls smiled at Beth's triumph as her best friend, Lindsay, hugged her in joy. Beth embraced the hug for a second before her facial expression went from a delighted smile to total fear. The others turned around to notice what had Beth so terrified. What they saw horrified and (in the case of Gwen) disgusted them.
Heather stepped off her boat, glaring at the other contestants. Her glare was met by 14 more glares (Noah was too intrigued with his book to be a part of the glare-off).
"What are you all looking at?" Heather questioned.
"The first contestant who will be voted off," Gwen shot back.
"I highly doubt it," Heather rebuked.
"Do you honestly believe you'll be here long?" added Beth. "No one here likes you. We all know you can't be trusted. The moment you don't have immunity, you'll be gone."
As the other contestants agreed with Beth, Heather stormed off to other end of the dock, making the ignored host feel quite angry.
As the contestants continued their stare off, a familiar voice cut through the intensity.
"What's up all my homies?" interrupted Leshawna. "How you been?"
Everybody quickly gave up of the stare contest to go greet the newest arrival. Harold, who recognized the voice first, sprinted over to hug his "chocolate goddess".
"How you doin' sugar baby?" Leshawna asked the lanky nerd.
"Fine, love of my life," he stated. "Did you miss your man much?"
"Easy there, boy," Leshawna said. "Look, you're cool and all baby but I'm not quite sure if a relationship is what I need right now."
As Harold tried to think of what next to say, he was quickly shoved over by an enthused Gwen. Bridgette quickly helped Harold back onto his feet then joined Gwen in hugging their favorite sister.
"How you doing white girls? Leshawna missed y'all," the large sister continued.
"Just fine," Gwen answered. "I could do without the show, though."
"Agreed," added Bridgette.
The three friends released their grasp of each other and moved towards everyone else, sharing high-fives with her old teammates and friends.
"Why are they taking all of my spotlight?" Chris thought to himself, annoyed that the contestants had chosen to forget him.
As Chris watched the other contestants, a new boat pulled up next to the docks. Courtney stepped off the boat and began looking at the contestants as if there was someone she was looking for specifically. Duncan was the first to see Courtney and quickly made his way over to her.
"Hey there, princess" he began. "You've been distant lately. Have you been trying to avoid me?"
His taunting was met with a quick slap across his face.
"Back off you Neanderthal," Courtney replied. "I've just been a bit preoccupied."
She stormed off towards Bridgette as Duncan just stared. DJ and Geoff went over to cheer their friend up until they realized Duncan was still smiling.
"She still digs me," he reassured his friends. The three snickered and high-fived each other.
Courtney joined Bridgette and gave her a quick hug.
"How have you been?" asked Bridgette.
"Fine, I guess," Courtney responded.
That's when she noticed it, the reason she came back to the island. A frown crept up on her face, catching Bridgette's attention. Before Bridgette could figure out what Courtney was staring at, Courtney looked away and went back to talking with her friend.
As the contestants got pretty settled, Gwen and Lindsay remained on high alert for their boyfriends. After a few minutes of waiting, another boat and Tyler hopped out.
"What? No water-skiing?" taunted Chris.
"Not now, dude," replied Tyler weakly. He had an uncharacteristic frown on his face.
"Come on," continued Chris. "Work with me here. People love seeing you fail- err, perform stunts."
"Just back off, dude," Tyler insisted, casting an angry glare at the host.
He walked down the unenthusiastically, catching the attention of some of his former teammates.
"Do you think he's alright?" Harold asked Geoff.
"Can't tell," was all Geoff could say.
Tyler kept walking until someone blocked his path. He took a glance upward to find his girlfriend standing in front of him. She reached out and hugged him as tight as she could, causing Tyler's frown to change back into his usual smile.
Most of the worried contestants were relieved by this and went back to what they were doing, although Harold still looked concerned.
"Where have you been?" asked Lindsay.
"Something happened over the midseason that had me... preoccupied," he responded.
"You know you can talk to me if you have an issue, right?" she continued.
"Yeah," he replied. "I just don't think I'm ready to talk about it yet."
Lindsay appeared hurt by her boyfriend's words, but nevertheless, she stopped prying him for information.
The next boat pulled up, and much to Gwen's delight, Trent stepped off, carrying his guitar as usual. She quickly ran over and began hugging her boyfriend.
"So," piped up Leshawna, "I guess you're midseason dates went well?"
"About as well as they could have gone," Trent replied.
Gwen eventually let go and the two joined Bridgette, Leshawna, and Courtney.
"How's everyone doing?" asked Trent.
"Fine, Music Man," Bridgette joked. "How 'bout you?"
"Just great, Surfer Chick," Trent shot back.
As the girls laughed at his joke, Trent gave Gwen one last hug before heading over to join some of the guys. The girls stood and watched him go and went back to talking.
A few seconds later, a massive explosion went off and something was hurled into the water in front of the docks. Chris and the other contestants gathered in front of the impact zone and stared down at the water.
"Do you think it's a piece of debris," asked Beth.
"Too big," replied Harold.
"Maybe it was a UFO." said Cody.
"Too small," replied Harold.
"Think it was a human?" Duncan joked.
"Come on Duncan, be serious..." Harold started to say.
He was quickly interrupted as a redheaded female leaped out of the water and shook herself dry.
"Wow," Izzy said. "That was quite a head rush. Can I do that again?"
"Damn it, Izzy," Heather screamed. "You gave us all heart attacks!"
"Just what exactly were you doing, white girl?" added Leshawna.
"Well..." Izzy started. "I felt like my boat was moving a bit slow, so I decided to give it a bit of a boost. Guess I over did it a tad."
Izzy chuckled at her own mistake, but the laughter died down as she noticed that the other contestants, except for Owen didn't look, amused, though her smile remained planted firmly on her face.
"So..." she said, "How's everyone been?"
The others, except for Owen, all decided to ignore the crazy girl and continued with their personal conversations. Izzy joined the other contestants as they all waited for Chris to move them along. Eventually, they grew impatient.
"Are we going to start this sometime today, Maclean?" Eva threatened the host.
"We have one more contestant left," he replied.
"Who could possibly be left?" asked a confused Courtney.
Suddenly, the final boat arrived at the docks. The contestants all stared at the boat with curiosity and anticipation. Just when they started thinking it was all just a prank, a small boy wearing a dark green toque was chucked off of the boat and on to the docks.
"You let him come back?" Courtney screamed.
Ezekiel quickly got to his feet. He looked terrified, especially with every girl competitor giving him the death stare, except for Izzy (who wasn't insulted by Ezekiel's previous comment) and Lindsay (who couldn't remember him). Ezekiel glanced back at the boat, hoping to use it to escape, but the boat was already heading off into the distance.
Before Eva or anyone else could make a grab for him, Chris put his arm out to halt them.
"Easy now," the host warned. "Ezekiel has a contract for five seasons, just like the rest of you. You wouldn't want to go and break that contract, now would you?"
The female contestants, remembering their first battles with Chris' lawyers, gave up the attack and turned away, much to Ezekiel's relief.
"But," Chris added menacingly, "He's fair game once the contest starts."
Ezekiel gulped nervously at the sight of every single one of his attackers' evil smiles.
"Enough with the reunion," Chris ordered. "Everyone head over to the good ol' bonfire site so that I can explain the changes for this season."
Chris suddenly began laughing maniacally at the thought, scaring some of the contestants. Chris' laughter cut off when he noticed that the competitors were still standing on the dock.
"Move it people," he commanded. "We still have a lot left to do today."
With that in mind, the 22 competitors all trudged over to the bonfire.
What's the deal with Tyler?
Who was spying on Noah?
Will Ezekiel survive the first day?
What did Chris mean by "changes"?
What is going to be in store for the next chapter of Total Drama Rebirth?
Up next: New rules and a whole lot of drama
This has been chapter one of my brand new Total Drama fan-fiction. Remember this is my first story, so it will be a work in progress to start with. Nevertheless, I hope you all enjoyed it or at least believe that it has a good future ahead. Chapter 2 should come out relatively quick, especially since my summer break is just about to kick in. Usually I will have a cheat sheet at the bottom for you guys to look at in case you are confused. I also will have a category called the "Song of the Chapter". The Song of the Chapter will be a song I recommend you, the reader, to listen to, especially if you reread the chapter. The song will have some relation to the story such as theme (sad chapter=sad song), an event (fight music for a fight scene), or a song resembling someone who gets eliminated. Since this is the first chapter, and I couldn't think of any song to relate to this chapter, there will be no song this time. Sorry.
