Patriot44 - This story presents to us the idea that the 22 campers we know and love were destined to be on the island together by some unknown force. It includes concepts "borrowed" by the ABC show LOST. In this fic, Total Drama Island takes place but not Total Drama Action or Total Drama Musical, I'll explain later

A man sat alone outside on the beach at Wawanakwa Island, he was brown-haired, wearing a green tunic and eating some fish and fruit. He stared out ahead at a boat that was in the distance, he didn't do anything, just stared, he was deep in thought about the experiment he was just starting to build.
The island was notable in that there was nothing built on it; no dock, no cabins, no mess hall, it was just a natural island.
A second man with blond hair and a black tunic approached and sat down on a rock not far from the brown-haired man.
"Good morning" the blond-haired man said to the brown haired man.
"Good morning, would you like some fish or fresh fruit?"
"No thank you, I ate earlier."
The two men sat in silence for a few moments and stared at the boat.
"So..." the blond-haired man said to the brown-haired man "who are these people you called out here?"
"Contractors, they're going to develop this site."
"Developing it for what?"
The brown-haired man smiled impishly "its part of my experiment."
The blond-haired man scoffed "Oh yes...the experiment where you try to prove that humans are more than monsters who want to kill, destroy and corrupt everything?"
"That's the one; I'm going to show you that they are so much more than that, that they are capable of a sense of friendship, trust and love that you never thought possible."
"It's not possible, it's a pipe dream. If a human meets somebody outside their race, religion, caste, nationality or political ideology; their going to treat them like crap. That's how it is, that's how it has been, that's how it's going to be until the day they annihilate themselves."
The brown-haired man said nothing; instead he took a bite out of his fish, chewed for a long time and swallowed; he then said "My experiment will show that you are misguided."
"How?"
"I shall manipulate events so that one day, a group of young people will come to this island and be forced to live here and undergo trials in a quest for a fabulous reward. At times, they will act like you'd expect them too; they will form fierce rivalries with each other, they will do unpleasant things in order to further their own agendas, they will have the worst of them revealed. But I promise you, they will also do things that surprise you; they shall find friendships and romances with people they normally wouldn't have, they will rely on each other for emotion comfort, they will realize that the real reward was the bonds they made."
The blond-haired man stared at the brown-haired man for a while. "Interesting, and when will this experiment happen?"
"Not now, the time is not right, but it will happen, I promise you that, and the events will play out like I predicted.
"I'll believe it when I see it my friend."
With that said, the blond-haired man stood up. "I must go now, I'm needed elsewhere. It was good to speak to you Michael."
"It was good to speak to you too" replied the man named Michael.
The blond-haired man walks away. Michael finishes eating his breakfast, stands up and looks around at the vacant island where his noble test of humanity was to take place.

This was just the prologue introducing Michael to us. The next chapters will involve Michael meeting the contestants when they were younger and unbeknownst to them, "marking" them to be on the show when they're older. And yes, I stole this chapter's setting from the opening scene of LOST's fifth season finale. I'm a douche bag. XD
