Alright so this is a reboot of my second story, Total Drama Forgotten Island. I felt like some things needed changes and it became apparent that these changes are drastic and required a reboot in order to make it all fit. While I'm at it, I decided to tweak a few things while may or may not induce long term changes. However, for milestone purposes, the original Total Drama Forgotten Island will not be deleted so anyone may look at it for reference and may compare to the current version. I hope you all understand and will still read my stories. That is all and thank you. :) -XBloodLegendX
The camera shows an aerial view of a medium sized island in the middle of the ocean near Greenland. It was mostly green, with large shores and two hills at the center. There are only a few animals that inhabit the island but it is clear that nature thrives in the place. The camera pans towards the docks where a man and a woman stands there at the end. The man is wearing an open crimson trench coat over a long sleeved polo shirt and maroon neck tie, and for his bottom he wears black denim jeans with a belt and a buckle with a daturas nightshade design, and silver combat boots. He has flowing jet black hair that reached until his lower back, sharp on the ends and his front bangs are held back by a hairpin that had the design of a skull with diamonds for eyes. He wore dark shades but took them off to reveal his sharp silver eyes as he gave a knowing smile at the camera. The woman is wearing a short red dress, red hoop earrings, and red heels. She had straight dyed blonde hair and a smile on her face as well.
"Welcome, dear viewers!" The woman started as she stepped forward. "I'm Blaineley Stacey Andrews O'Halloran, former host of Celebrity Manhunt and Total Drama World Tour Aftermath."
"And my name is Valnoir." The man said afterwards with a bit less enthusiasm as the first host. "We're your hosts for this season of Total Drama, called Total Drama Forgotten Island."
"Come on, show some spirit." Blaineley scolded her partner. "Ugh, if only I was the main host and not just some newbie's co-host."
"Watch what you're saying, Mildred." Valnoir smiled. Blaineley's eyes widened in shock when she heard him say her real name. "We still have a show to host." He added.
"Okay okay. Just call me Blaineley." Blaineley conceded.
"Very well." Valnoir chuckled. "Now, you must all be wondering why the title is called Total Drama Forgotten Island."
"There's actually a very simple reason for it." Blaineley added.
"This island is yet to be inhabited by any humans." Valnoir explained. "That means that nature here has yet to be tainted by humanity's cruel needs for their everyday life. That being said, there aren't many animals here that can destroy our campers either." He slightly frowned.
"We can get the interns to ship in more wild ones." Blaineley waved him off. "What's important now is that the campers are coming here in two yachts that will also determine their teams."
"Saves us the trouble." Valnoir nodded. "I heard Chris made the contestants do a challenge in order to determine their teams."
"Is that the cast from Sci-Fi Showdown?" Blaineley asked. "Don't worry, our season will definitely be better than that!" She insisted with confidence.
"Isn't it still ongoing?" Valnoir asked her. "I know they have already reached the merge."
"Well, yes, but we still gotta be positive that our season will be much better. After all, it has me in it." Blaineley winked and smiled at the camera. Valnoir just rolled his eyes but his smile never left his face.
"Well that aside, the yachts might take a while to arrive here." Valnoir noted. "I wonder what the campers are doing. Let's hope it's something camera-worthy."
A large white yacht is currently sailing towards the forgotten island in a steady pace. It looks luxurious and grand, almost Titanic sized. The camera zoomed in on the upper deck, where a small pool is located as well as a few lawn chairs and folded umbrellas. A tall girl stood near the edge, gazing out over the ocean and towards their destination. She has long flowing auburn hair, and light red eyes that depicted a calm demeanor. She wears a red dress shirt under a white cravat, flowing knee length red lacy skirt and short black boots. Holding a parasol in one hand to shield her from the rays of the sun, she breathed in the fresh sea breeze.
"It is quite a sunny day." She remarked to no one. "It is the perfect season to hold a Total Drama season, if I do say so myself." She continued to monologue.
"I agree completely, milady." A masculine voice came from behind her. She turned around and saw a tall, well dressed dark-skinned man with brown eyes walking towards where she is. He wears a silver suit and black neck tie, black pants and gray leather shoes. "A sunny day like this should create enough adrenaline to either make or break a team in challenges."
"You seem to know much about this competition, despite us not even starting yet." The girl noted.
"I have watched the past seasons in my spare time. And milady, we are already starting." The man replied. "My name is Quincey. May I have your name?"
"I am Jeanette Flora Hawthorne." She answered him with a curt bow and a smile.
"That name sounds familiar." Quincey looked down in thought.
"It should be." Jeanette held her head up proudly. "My mother owns one of the newest fashion lines in the fashion industry, Superbia."
"Now I remember." He snapped his fingers. "The Hawthorne family of the fashion industry. I heard your mother is going to America to showcase it. I do wish her the best."
"Thank you." Jeanette gave a small smile. "I figured I would board the same plane as her in order to get here."
"Efficient and effective." He nodded in acknowledgement. "I have not asked about your talents yet despite you already knowing about how well informed I am about this season. Perhaps you'd like to share?"
"I'd like to say I'm good at being a strategist. That is to say, a strategist in challenges." She twirled her parasol a bit.
"A strategist in challenges, huh?" Quincey repeated. "If that is so, then you are going to be a great asset to the team you end up in."
"There are quite a few of us on this boat." Jeanette noticed. "I suspect we are already in a team."
"Then it is great to have you as a teammate." Quincey turned to walk away. "I am not much for conversation, but you will find that my skills can help in physical challenges, enough to keep me around until the merge I would hope."
"You held a proper conversation with me. That alone is improvement on your part." Jeanette called out to him as he walked away. "And worry not, I think I may help you get far if you stick with me."
The camera then pans out and in on a room by the lower deck. It is a recreational room filled with board games and other toys that would mostly appeal to a child. Sitting on a small chair is a boy of average height, scratching his head in a stressed manner as he was looking over some newspaper cut-outs. He wears a short sleeved gray shirt and green camo pants and boots to match. He also wears leather gloves on his hands and shin guards hidden in his pants. He has blond hair with blood red highlights and tan skinned. What stood out the most was his headgear, as it is a large tinfoil hat.
"I swear the government is screwing us over. I just know it!" He snarled with a paranoid expression as he pushed aside a few cut-outs to make room for the rest that were underneath it. "But I'm prepared for it, yes indeed!" He gave a small, dry laugh as he said that part a bit too loudly.
"Prepared for what?" Another person approached him from the doorway. This one wears a light blue sleeveless hoodie with a white tank top underneath, jean shorts with ripped designer ends and normal low brown boots. Accessories include earrings, a red ruby ring, and a dark blue collar with a dark blue gem. This person has wavy silvery gray hair done up in a high ponytail with two long strands down the sides of the face, and red eye color. "By the way, I'm Alysson." The person greeted with a wink.
"What? What do you want?" The boy that's sitting down whipped his head back to face the newcomer. "I don't wanna talk right now." He said quickly and irritably. "Not even to girls like you. So go away."
"Well sorry for being an intruder. You look like you needed company." Alysson said smoothly while getting closer to the boy and looking over at the newspaper cut-outs. "What's all this? Mind telling me?~" Alysson asked in a sweet tone.
"It's me trying to see what the government has planned for us." The boy answered with a sigh before turning back to the stuff in the table. "But it's none of your business so go run along now. I hate being distracted like this."
"You're not even going to give me the pleasure of your name? Isn't that rude?" Alysson said with a short giggle and small pout, leaning over the table to meet his gaze.
"It's Keith." He answered nonchalantly. Alysson reached out to get a cut-out but Keith slammed his hand down on it to protect it. "Don't touch my stuff!" He yelled.
"I was just curious." Alysson defended innocently. "Maybe you're grumpy because you have no company here."
"I'm fine! Just go already and stop distracting me!" Keith said exasperatedly and pushed Alysson towards the door. "Go before the government targets you too. Trying to do you a favor here."
"Sheesh. Alright." Alysson said with raised hands while still being pushed away. "I'll leave you alone if-" Alysson didn't get to finish as Keith slammed the door shut and went back to his cut-outs.
The camera now panned to the room beside it, which is a theater. A horror movie is playing on the big screen and the only person watching it is a short girl with curly cherry pink hair and emerald green eyes. She wears a pink sunday dress with leaf prints and knee high boots. She was watching the movie in a very quiet and intent manner when someone burst open the door and went inside. It was a tall boy wearing an eccentric-looking jester outfit in the colors red, blue, and yellow. He had small ruby earrings on, a jester hat on his head, and a cape attached to his clothes. His face is all smiles, with a blue tear tattoo under his right eye.
"What a scary film! Why would they show this to the people on the yacht? They should show something funny or maybe a documentary on how to survive or win this thing, am I right?" He laughed loudly which made the short girl looked over her shoulder at him.
"Could you please keep it down?" The girl said softly and shyly. "I'm watching the movie."
"Oh my! There's an audience of one here!?" The man gasped and covered his mouth. He skipped over to her and sat down beside her. "Hello there! I'm Jackie."
"My name is Beatrice and could you please use your indoor voice?" Beatrice pouted. "This part is getting good, even though I can already predict what will happen next."
"Oooh, are you like a fortune teller? Or a prophet?" Jackie exclaimed happily. "I'm a jester if you couldn't tell. I bring joy and laughter to the masses!" He exclaimed proudly with his hands on his hips, his voice almost competing with that in the movie.
Beatrice just sighed to herself and tried not to look annoyed. "I expected someone to visit me, but why you?" She muttered to herself.
"What was that, darling?" Jackie leaned his face closer to her, making his ear face her. "I couldn't hear you."
"It's nothing, really. I just think it's nice of you to think of others like that." She lied with a shy voice, getting uncomfortable with how close he was getting. "Sorry, I'm not good at talking to strangers." She admitted with a slightly flustered face.
"Oh no worries, darling! I was once like that too!" Jackie grinned. "But my papa used to tell me that the world smiles at those who smile at it!"
"That's an actual quote?" Beatrice tilted her head.
"Nope!" Jackie exclaimed without feeling any shame or guilt. He momentarily looked at the horror movie and gasped in shock when a gruesome scene took place. Beatrice made a confused face at him which he did not see.
The camera switched scenes to show the gym area in the yacht. It is shown that all the equipment is brand new and well maintained and organized. Using the treadmills are two girls who seems to be chatting. One has straight jet black hair that reaches down to her upper back, light red eyes, and tan skin. She wears a red shirt with the design being that of the goddess Aphrodite, pink short shorts, and white sneakers.
"Sometimes I wish he would just go out and make new friends." She rolled her eyes. The other girl nodded in agreement. This one has shoulder length dark brown hair, and mocha skin. She wears the green team jacket of the Green Bolts, and a forest green short skirt with white knee high socks and open leather shoes. She seems to be fairly shorter than the former.
"I agree! Being fit can help you in life." The mocha skinned girl said.
"Totally. Hey Abby, wanna be partners in crime?" The other girl asked as she stopped the treadmill.
"You wanna be a criminal?" Abby looked confused as she stopped hers as well. "Gabriella, I thought you were better than this."
"No, silly. I don't mean it like that. Plus you barely know me." Gabriella countered with a carefree grin. "What I mean is, we should have each others' backs! Like a team within a team!"
"I don't like having mini teams." Abby shook her head. "I want the entire team to get along and work together. Together we can accomplish anything with teamwork."
"Sure that works too but come on! It'll be fun!" Gabriella insisted as she used her towel to wipe off some sweat.
"I don't like to think about it for now." Abby dismissed. "We should primarily focus on doing our best for the team."
"Then I really hope I can be in your team. You're a cool person, Abby." Gabriella grinned.
"Whoa! What a cool place!" The two of them turned their heads around to see another girl in the gym with them. She has long flowing black hair that reaches until her behind, with the end tied up, but the most noticeable part being the single white streak in her hair. She wear a thin blue dress with a long skirt with extensions showing all the right places yet not showing much of the private parts.
"Hey you." Abby called out to girl. "Wanna exercise with us?"
"No thanks. I'm looking for the place where I can eat." The girl answered.
"I remember the canteen below deck." Gabriella recalled. "So what's-"
"Thanks! Bye bye!" The girl sprinted off out of the gym avoiding all the equipment that were in her path and even doing parkour over them.
"That girl is fast." Abby remarked as she blinked. "And skilled by the looks of it."
"Yea but she didn't introduce herself. How rude." Gabriella pouted a bit.
As Nymeria reached the canteen, she found only one person in the place with her. It's a tall boy with hazel colored eyes and short silver hair spiked backwards. He wears a plain green sweater, blue baggy pants, and sneakers. His eyes were closed and his arms were crossed, not noticing the hyper yet innocent girl walk in. Nymeria noticed there was a crow perched on his shoulder, looking intently at her.
"Hello there, mister crow." She waved at the animal, which kept staring at her. She slowly put her hand down while blinking at it before finally shrugging and going to the counter to order some food.
The boy opened his eyes a moment to glance her way before closing them again, his crow tilting its head in a confused way.
A black colored yacht can be seen sailing far behind the first one, also ferrying people towards the island. The camera panned in on the bar inside it, showing a man drinking a bottle of sake by the counter. He has light green eyes, chin length brownish black hair, and a fixated frown on his lips. He wears a zipped down blue and red jacket over a plain white shirt, brown shorts, and blue sneakers.
"Someone is enjoying himself over here." A voice called out to him. He turned around to see a smiling girl with ivory skin, long olive green hair and honey amber colored eyes. She wears an long sleeve shirt, black shorts, and stockings. Around her neck is a black choker and she also wears a pair of black leather gloves. "Drinking so early in the afternoon?"
"I'm trying out an experiment or sorts." Kazuo smiled. "Call it a butterfly effect thing I want to try out."
"A...butterfly effect thing?" Eliza inquired.
"Yeah it's when every choice has a consequence and this process goes on and on that revolves around that one choice you made back then." Kazuo explained. "That's the easy way to explain it. Cause and effect basically."
"Yeah okay. And let me guess, you wanna start the first challenge while drunk?" Eliza guessed. "That's kinda crazy even for me."
"You think so? Then this will be even more interesting." Kazuo chuckled. Eliza just shook her head and went off to another side of the bar where a dartboard is hanging on the wall along with some darts to accompany it.
"Guess I'll just pass the time with this." She smirked to herself and attached a picture of Nicholas' face on the bullseye part of the dartboard. "Gotta stay sharp to avoid any regret soon." She said in a slight dark tone as she picked up a few darts and throwing it at the board, with one of the three managing to hit the bullseye and Nicholas' picture.
Kazuo peeked at what she was doing, already tipsy from drinking his sake. "Oooh, sounds fun~" He chuckled.
"Hmm?" Eliza raised an eyebrow as the boy picked up a dart and wobbled over further from where she stood. "What are you doing?"
Kazuo waggled the dart in front of him. "Watch and learn missy." He wobbled a bit as he tried to aim and soon made the shot, the dart sailing past just inches from Eliza's face and hitting the bullseye right at the center, piercing Nicholas' nose in the picture. "Hey who is that dude anyway?"
"It's...it's none of your business." Eliza huffed and continued to ignore him as she got the darts again.
Meanwhile, two people were playing a video game in the arcade room, sitting beside each other while they played the game intently. One is a chubby boy of Hispanic descent with mocha skin and short brown hair. He wears a golden colored shirt with Chris' face printed in the middle, blue jeans and brown sandals. He also wears a necklace with Blaineley's smiling face on it and a bracelet that had the words, 'I love Blaineley' on it.
His opponent is a taller girl that looks British. She has light violet eyes and jet black hair done up in a single ponytail that reaches until her upper neck. She wears a blue police uniform minus the hat, and two badges are attached to it.
"I win again!" The boy cheered at his victory in the video game.
"Aw, I lost again. You're pretty good, Tom." The girl sighed in defeat as she pouted. She then smiled and laughed. "But it was a fun game either way."
"Yeah, it's better than fighting the locals from where I come from." Tom said with a slight Mexican accent.
"Then you should ask the others on this boat to play against you. Maybe one of them can beat you." The girl smirked.
"Sorry Jamie, but I don't intend to lose that easily." Tom smirked back. Just then, someone else walked inside the room and went to where they were. It looks to be a person of average height wearing a full body stormtrooper armor and holding a realistic looking blaster rifle. The two looked on and blinked as the stormtrooper took off the helmet and revealed the face of a girl with brown eyes and chin length black hair.
"I see there's already some people playing this game." The girl noted. "I'm Silvia, by the way. Resident cosplayer and nerd." She introduced herself as she put her gun down on a nearby table.
"Nice to meet you." Jamie said to her with a smile. "I'm Jamie and this is Tom. I'm kinda surprised you're proud to be called a nerd. Most people I've met are closet nerds actually."
"It's no use hiding it. My outfit gave it away anyway." Silvia shrugged. "Are you guys gonna play more?"
"Yeah, we're just about to start another round." Tom motioned towards the tv screen where the character select screen can be seen. "Wanna play? By the way, I love the outfit. The gun looks especially realistic." He remarked.
"Thanks. I had my girlfriend help me with it." Silvia smiled. "And sure, I'll play." Jamie moved so she can have some space in between them.
"You can take my spot. I lost to that guy." Jamie smiled sheepishly. Silvia took the controller and began selecting her character just as Tom selected his.
"Who knows? Maybe you'll beat me." Tom said as Silvia chose the stage and the game started.
"I don't like underestimating or overestimating my opponents." Silvia said. "It's not a good habit to pick up. I kinda learned that the hard way." She moved her character well and delivered a few good moves that all connected.
"Assuming what the opposition will bring isn't always a bad thing, but it's not the most reliable thing either." Jamie agreed as she watched the fight and saw that Tom had lost the first round and then the second one afterwards.
"You're actually really good." Tom remarked as he started to play more intently.
"Thanks. You're not so bad yourself." Silvia gave a slight smile as she easily won the last round.
"No way." Tom blinked as he realized he had lost the match. Jamie patted his back as if to comfort him.
"Well that settles it. Someone in this boat really did beat you." Jamie laughed.
"I can accept that loss." Tom shrugged and he shook hands with Silvia.
"It was a good game." Silvia returned the gesture. "Now, how about we go play billiards?"
The camera panned to the boutique in the yacht, where an energetic girl is pacing around the place and looking at all the clothes with a big grin on her face. She has shoulder length platinum hair, light brownish skin and a clean face, almost resembling that of a porcelain doll. She wears a strapless diamond studded cyan cocktail dress and stilettos, along with pearly bracelets on both her arms and a pearly necklace around her neck.
"Ohmigosh! This is the dress that was on limited sale last week! I'm totes buying this." She exclaimed as she held up a designer dress. She turned and exited the aisle only to accidentally bump into another girl. "I'm so sorry! I didn't see you there." She quickly apologized.
"It's alright. My camera isn't damaged so all is good." The other girl said. They were nearly the same tall height, and she has crystal blue eyes and short auburn hair that ends in slight curls. She wear a long brown overcoat, a vest over a white blouse and dark brown skinny jeans. "Say cheese." She prepared her camera.
"Oh!" The girl put back the dress in the rack then posed and smiled for the camera. A flash shone through, signaling the photo was taken. "By the way, my name's Winona." She introduced as she got the dress again.
"And I'm Caitlyn." The other girl introduced. "I'm just a normal photographer." She grinned. "I plan on taking pictures of the cast for the memories. Oh and I like your dress. Really chic."
"Thank you." Winona giggled as she twirled around a bit. "I'm a fashionista, so it's only right that I dress nice for this show!" She exclaimed.
"Well then I look forward to working with you and taking more pictures." Caitlyn said. "I should go look at the other rooms. Don't wanna miss out on anything before we leave this yacht."
"Okay! See you at the island!" Winona waved goodbye to her as Caitlyn took her leave, looking at the photo she took from her camera with a side grin as she went.
"I'll get a big scoop from this show or my name isn't Caitlyn Malcolm." She muttered to herself with conviction in her eyes.
The camera switched to the middle deck, where an Asian looking man is looking out into the ocean, admiring the dolphins that passed him by. He has an average height, fair skin, light red eyes and straight jet black hair that reaches down to his upper back done up in a ponytail. He wears a blue shirt with the design being that of Izanagi, brown shorts, and white running shoes. He also wears a golden bracelet on his left arm. He continued to watch the dolphins when someone approached him.
"Did you know that dolphins are mammals and not reptiles?" The newcomer said. The former turned and saw that it was another guy. He has tan skin and short blond curly hair with a chubby build. He wears a red shirt with blue and yellow stripes, black shorts, and Converse shoes. The word 'falso' is tattooed on his left wrist.
"Everyone knows that..." The other boy said with a roll of his eyes. "Look just leave me alone already.." He droned on.
"You look like a dumb person who needs some trivia to help increase whatever low IQ you got there." The blond haired man smirked. "I'm Antoine, the best trivia master around!"
"Gabriel..." The ponytail guy introduced. "And nobody told you to drop trivia like that unto me..." He slightly glared at him.
"What's wrong? Too prideful to admit you're dumb?" Antoine smirked again as he turned around. "Whatever, catch you later dumbass." He laughed as he walked away.
"Hmm.." Gabriel thought to himself while glaring after Antoine. "I can already tell who my first vote will be if he ends up on my team..."
The door to the boiler room suddenly opened and out walked another boy. He has chin length light brown hair and tan skin, and wears a black shirt under a short sleeve jacket, ripped jeans, and hiker boots. He also wore metal vambraces on his arms. What really stood out though was a tattoo mix of Deathstroke and Punisher logos with a sword and gun behind it on his right shoulder blade. He whistled to himself as he walked past Gabriel, with the latter noticing him pocket what looks to be metallic gears and pieces.
"These parts will be useful to me, yeah." He muttered to himself in an excited tone as he went on his way.
"I wonder..." Gabriel muttered to himself as he watched the mysterious boy go to the opposite direction of where Antoine had gone.
The white yacht arrived at the dock first, the backside opening up the walkway to let the contestants go down. The two hosts waited at the end of the dock, staring up at the walkway to see who would go down first.
"There you have it folks, you're about to see the contestants coming out of this yacht! Let's go meet them, shall we?" Blaineley said with a big smile at the camera.
"I'm pretty sure the audience met them already. We do have cameras inside." Valnoir reminded her with an amused chuckle.
"Quiet, you!" Blaineley snapped. "It's catchy, okay?"
"It's overrated and especially unnecessary now." Valnoir rolled his eyes.
The first one out of the yacht is Quincey, who walked down with confidence and purpose. He did not seem fazed or frightened at the water below and did not even look down at the walkway, simply walking straight with his head held high.
"Good afternoon, sir and madam." Quincey greeted them both with a slight bow. "You two must be the hosts."
"Quincey!" Valnoir grinned. "Just Valnoir and Mildred would be alright."
"Blaineley." Blaineley corrected with an irritable glance at the main host. "Call me Blaineley."
"Very well. Valnoir. Blaineley." Quincey regarded the two hosts as he went to stand over at the side to wait for the others.
"Huh. And he didn't even need to be told to do that." Blaineley blinked.
"At least another person here has common decency." Valnoir smiled which made Blaineley scowl. But before she could say anything, the unknown girl with the white streak of hair bounded down the walkway excitedly and skidded to a stop right in front of the two hosts, grinning innocently.
"Hey there!" She waved at them. "I'm ready to play!" She said excitedly.
"Hello, Nymeria." Valnoir smiled down at the girl.
"Nymeria? What a weird name." Blaineley remarked as Nymeria went over to Quincey to say hi to him as well.
"Is this coming from someone who isn't proud of her own?" Valnoir raised an eyebrow at her.
"Will you just shut up?" Blaineley groaned. "The next contestants are here."
Sure enough, Jeanette went down the walkway along with Alysson and Jackie.
"Good afternoon, Total Drama!" Jeanette exclaimed with a perfectly executed smile as she waved her hand with grace.
"Hello, viewers! It's Jackie the Jester!" The jester said as well as he somersaulted down at the end of the dock.
"It's great to be here." Alysson chimed in with a wink to the camera as the three of them made it down safely. "I especially hope the male viewers out there would be glad to see me play."
"I don't think you'll have the same comment after a few weeks here." Valnoir smirked.
"We'll see." Alysson winked at him just as Jackie started juggling behind them.
"Look at me everyone!" He said with a grin. Nymeria looked amazed and watched him juggle while Jeanette just sighed and rolled her eyes.
"I hate the jester." Blaineley cringed at the sight.
"Well too bad. I accepted his application." Valnoir smirked.
"I also don't wanna know why you accepted the application of a female pokemon trainer." Blaineley pointed at Alysson.
"At least it's a diverse cast." Valnoir simply shrugged. "Speaking of diverse, Daniel is here."
The tall man with the crow perked on his shoulder stepped down the yacht, glancing at all the present contestants as he did so. He did not say anything to them, just giving a short nod to the hosts before standing in a far corner away from his fellow campers.
"So that's his name." Nymeria nodded in understanding. "I saw him at the cafeteria earlier."
"Might that be his pet crow?" Quincey inquired.
"It is." Blaineley affirmed. "Another weirdo Valnoir selected." She sighed.
"Don't worry, the remaining people left in there are normal." Valnoir chuckled.
"Is the government here!? I bet they're here to ambush us!" Keith ran down the walkway in a panic and tripped near the end, causing him to tumble the rest of the way down, his tinfoil hat falling over the edge and into the water. "Noooooo! My only means of protection against their mind-controlling ways!" He exclaimed in despair.
"Is he alright?" Nymeria asked in concern.
"He's like that in the yacht when I met him." Alysson said nonchalantly as they saw Keith get back up and rummage through his things for some tinfoil.
"It's great to see you too, Keith." Valnoir laughed at the boy's misfortune.
"You said no more weirdos." Blaineley glared at Valnoir.
"He isn't weird, just overly cautious." Valnoir corrected.
"Which is still weird!" The co host insisted.
"So, no government here?" Keith asked as he rubbed his head.
"That's correct. This place is a government-free zone." Valnoir answered while spreading his arms to emphasize his point. "Even underage kids can drink alcohol if they want to."
"How unruly." Jeanette frowned.
"How predictable." Quincey remarked.
"How awesome!" Nymeria grinned widely.
Valnoir looked up at the walkway again and saw Abby and Gabriella jogging down together.
"We're here!" Gabriella announced with a huge grin as she and Abby stood in front of the hosts.
"Where are our teams?" Abby asked.
"Slow down there, girls." Blaineley pointed to the gathered contestants behind them. "Go over there first and wait for further announcements."
"Oh, well that's alright too." Gabriella grinned as she went over to go talk to the others with Abby trailing behind her.
"Are we done with this yacht yet?" Blaineley asked impatiently.
"Not so. There is still one more camper in there." Valnoir told her. "Hurry up, Beatrice!"
The short girl revealed herself at the top of the walkway and began descending down. "I'm sorry." She muttered shyly as she continued walking down slowly.
"Let me help you!" Jackie skipped over back at the walkway to hold her hand and help her get down faster. "I gotta introduce you to Nymeria and Alysson!" The jester exclaimed.
"Slow down a bit, will you?" Beatrice pouted a bit as she was being dragged down by Jackie.
"Well that's all from that yacht." Valnoir remarked just as the white yacht left the dock. He could see the black yacht approached the dock in exchange.
"Is that another boat?" Jeanette asked as she squinted across the sea.
"It seems the other contestants have arrived." Quincey remarked.
"Cool! I wanna see what the guys are like." Alysson gave a small giggle.
"You here for love?" Abby asked.
"Maybe." Alysson answered slyly.
"That's fine. Just hope that it doesn't affect team performance, wherever you may end up." Abby shrugged.
"I just hope the government isn't on that other yacht." Keith muttered in anxiety. "It's black after all. Just like their cars and their shades and their suits and everything."
The walkway of the second yacht dropped down into the dock to allow passage. Antoine and Caitlyn walked down first.
"...And that's how cameras were invented." Antoine said matter-of-factly. Caitlyn just rolled her eyes and yawned.
"Yeah that's great and all but I know about that story, not to mention you got some details wrong." Caitlyn said dismissively as they both got down.
"What are you talking about? It's the right trivia!" Antoine said, almost indignantly.
"Caitlyn, Antoine, welcome!" Valnoir greeted the two.
"Can I be placed in a team without this guy?" Caitlyn sighed. "He's ruining the good mood of this place and I can't take photos with him around."
"We'll see. Go stand with the others first." Blaineley ordered. Caitlyn nodded and went to join the bigger group, completely avoiding Antoine as he continued to express anger over the trivia.
Gabriel went down the walkway alone, looking over at the contestants before him as he did, almost as if he's studying and analyzing them. He saw Gabriella widen her eyes at the sight of him but didn't bother approaching him.
"Liking the competition so far, Gabriel?" Valnoir interrupted his train of thought with a smirk.
"I guess..." Gabriel answered plainly as he stood to the side, evidently not wanting to continue the talk.
"Would you like me to take your picture?" Caitlyn offered. Gabriel simply shook his head and looked away.
"Finally a quiet one." Blaineley sighed in relief.
"Daniel is a quiet one too." Valnoir pointed out.
"But he's weird. People with pet crows are weird." Blaineley said irritably.
Tom, Silvia, and Jamie went down the walkway together. Everyone looked their way, clearly surprising with what Silvia is wearing.
"That's right, we got out very own stormtrooper." Tom announced with a proud smirk. Jamie laughed beside him.
"Wrong show! The Sci-Fi Showdown cast is that way!" Antoine called out while pointing out across the sea.
"Impressive." Caitlyn beamed and started taking pictures of Silvia. The stormtrooper realized she was being pictured and decided to do a battle pose for her.
"You seem used to this." Jamie remarked.
"It's more like my instinct now." Silvia said as they joined the cast.
"Are you one of those soldiers from Star Wars?" Jackie exclaimed as he skipped over to them. Caitlyn joined them as well.
"Yeah, I'm a stormtrooper." Silvia said as she took off her helmet. "Thanks for taking my picture, by the way." She turned to Caitlyn.
"It was simply marvelous. I like how you handled the pose. That's one for the papers." Caitlyn beamed.
"Thank you. This is my first time cosplaying a Star Wars character so I was afraid I wouldn't pull it off." Silvia admitted.
"The gun is fake, yes?" Jeanette asked Quincey.
"Indeed. It looks realistic, but it is fake." Quincey nodded.
"Oh my god! I can't believe I get to see THE Blaineley with my own eyes." Tom gushed as he excitedly jumped up and down while approaching the two hosts, specifically giving his attention to Blaineley. "You smell just as great as I imagined!"
"See? A normal one." Valnoir mocked with a side smirk.
"Uh yeah." Blaineley said, clearly weirded out by Tom's enthusiasm. "Look can you just stand over there already?"
"But I want an autograph from the greatest hostess everrrr!" Tom whined.
"But she's just my co-host. I'm the main host of this season." Valnoir smiled, almost evil in nature.
"What!?" Tom looked shocked to hear it. "A newbie is the main host!?"
"I'm as shocked as you are, kid." Blaineley shook her head. Valnoir rolled his eyes.
"Just go stand with the others." He glared at the boy, who immediately rejoined the others but not before glaring at Valnoir and sticking his tongue out.
The boy with the metal vambraces walked down the walkway next, inspecting a metal gear and a cog.
"What should I make first?" He said to himself.
"Welcome, Caleb!" Valnoir exclaimed a bit too loudly. This caused Caleb to lose his focus and get startled, accidentally dropping what he was holding into the water below.
"Nooo!" He cried as he kneeled down at the edge of the dock and peered down. He saw the pieces fall deeper into the water.
"My bad. Pardon me." Valnoir laughed sadistically.
"You might actually be good after all." Blaineley nodded in acknowledgement.
"I'm not, Mildred." Valnoir smirked at her, causing her to roll her eyes.
"Hey everyone!" Winona called out from the top of the walkway as she strutted down. "The fashionista has arrived!"
Caitlyn took a few shots of her, with Winona doing a different pose each time.
"So fashionable!" Nymeria exclaimed as she clapped.
"I do admit her clothing is something to behold." Jeanette nodded in appreciation.
"But it's not fit for the outdoors though." Gabriella frowned a bit.
"Nice entrance, Winona." Valnoir complimented as Winona joined the rest of the cast.
"I try." The fashionista giggled.
"We're down to our last two campers." Blaineley announced. "Just where are they?"
As if on cue, Kazuo and Elizabetha walked down the walkway. The former making uneasy steps going down while the latter just smiled and walked a bit faster, not bothering to help him.
"Is he drunk?" Jamie gasped.
"Yes he is." Eliza affirmed. "It's apparently an experiment of his."
"An experiment that involves getting drunk before the game starts?" Abby raised an eyebrow skeptically.
"He isn't that drunk..." Gabriel interrupted. "I think he can manage..."
"And how do you know that?" Abby glanced his way.
"Observations..." Gabriel said simply with a wave of his hand.
"Yo, we gonna get this thing started or what?" Kazuo directed his attention towards Valnoir and Blaineley while giving a laugh.
"Yes, you both are the last ones." Blaineley nodded, a bit weirded out.
"Welcome, Kazuo and Elizabetha." Valnoir greeted with a smile, clearly amused with Kazuo's tipsy state. "Looks like you're starting this season off with a bit of a...handicap." He looked at him.
"No no no. It's an experiment." Kazuo corrected with a wide grin. "I'm gonna do the first challenge while tipsy. I wanna see where it leads me."
"Pretty sure you're gonna get eliminated early for that." Silvia pointed out.
"Or you know, die trying." Antoine rolled his eyes. "Such inferior human beings."
"I like your clothes, Elizabetha." Winona complimented.
"Why thank you. Oh and just call me Eliza." Eliza smiled with a short giggle.
"Well either way, it amuses me." Valnoir chuckled. The black yacht left the docks soon after. "Now that everyone is here, let's all group up together for a picture."
"Yay! Group picture!" Nymeria cheered. The crow on Daniel's shoulder made a sound, which startled her a bit.
Caitlyn handed her camera to Blaineley before joining the cast and getting into position with them. Most of them had smiles on their faces, others did poses along with it and a few had neutral looks.
"I'm not even gonna bother counting this off." Valnoir shook his head and just motioned for Blaineley to take their picture.
"What a boring host." Blaineley rolled her eyes. "One...two...three!" She counted off and snapped the picture.
"I wanna see it!" Winona exclaimed as she went over to check on Caitlyn's camera. "I love my pose here." She squealed.
"It's just a picture." Antoine rolled his eyes. "Not that it matters."
"A picture contains a thousand words. How's that for trivia?" Caitlyn smirked.
"But that's a quote!" Antoine retorted.
"That's enough! We still have a challenge to do." Blaineley interrupted.
"It is actually quite simple." Valnoir said. "There are two cabins located around the island, and the two teams must race to either one in order to win the challenge. Remember, all members must be present in that one cabin for it to count as a win. There are no other rules aside from the obvious ones in the application." He chuckled.
"Okay so what are the teams then?" Abby asked.
"I'm glad you asked." Valnoir laughed. "Remember, the people who went down with you on the same yacht?"
"Yeah of course." Jackie grinned widely.
"Wait, I think I know where this is going." Jeanette realized.
"Your teams are the same people from that yacht!" Valnoir announced. This was met by collective gasps and groans from the contestants.
"Yes!" Jamie pulled Tom and Silvia into a group hug. Alysson winked at Keith, who didn't notice as he was busy making another tinfoil hat.
"No..." Gabriel sighed as he risked a glance at Antoine, who smirked at him. He groaned and just shook his head. "Just my luck..." He griped.
"Now for the team names." Valnoir snapped his fingers and an intern went to him and gave him and Blaineley a banner each. "Those who rode the white yacht, this is yours." He tossed one to Quincey which he caught easily. "From now on you will be known as the White Stallions!" The banner was unfurled to reveal a galloping horse with a white background.
"Not bad." Beatrice said softly with a smile.
"I like horses." Gabriella said. "They're beautiful and majestic." Gabriel rolled his eyes when he heard her say that.
"This one is for the one who rode the black yacht." Blaineley announced as she tossed the banner to Jamie, who also caught it with ease. "You guys are known as the Black Knights!" The police officer unfurled the banner to reveal a knight in black armor wielding a greatsword confidently.
"Sounds medieval." Caleb grinned.
"The armor looks so fashionable. Was it a trend back then?" Winona asked.
"Maybe. I mean I always thought their armor looks relatively the same." Silvia shrugged.
"Quiet! The challenge is gonna start soon but first we want to know your thoughts about the season." Blaineley said. "There are confessional outhouses everywhere so just go to one and tell the audience what you think or anything personal you want to share."
"With that said, your challenge starts..." Valnoir paused for effect. "Now!"
Everyone began sprinting in various directions, some of them desperately trying to find their team and follow them while others trying to take the lead.
~Confessional~
Quincey: The cast looks decent enough, and I like to think I have a good chance at winning this. Granted, I'm not financially struggling per se but it would be nice to play the game for the experience.
Nymeria: Everyone looks so cool and awesome! Except maybe a few others who aren't exactly too positive like that meany Antoine or the quiet Gabriel and Daniel, but still! I can't wait for the next challenges already.
Jeanette: This season will surely be full of surprises. But whatever those surprises are, I will be there to help lead my team to victory by carefully planning out perfect strategies. They will see me as an asset, and it will be a free merge pass for me. *she smiled confidently*
Alysson: This is actually working out for me. I'm gonna admit something to you guys. *there is short pause* I'm not a girl. I'm a guy! Surprise! I was told that I kinda look like a girl so I'm gonna use that to its full advantage in this game. So far, things are going great. Well, except for things with Keith though. But I swear I'm gonna charm my way through this competition. *he giggles cutely*
Jackie: I promise to bring as much joy as possible in this show! I heard it could get really messy and cutthroat in here but I just wanna have fun and make friends. Beatrice is already my friend ever since I talked to her in that theatre and I wanted to be friends with that stormtrooper but there is just one problem. *his face suddenly turns deathly serious* She is in the other team and therefore someone I should defeat in order for my team to win.
Daniel: *He is just staring at the camera for a short while. He glanced at his crow and it let out a sound*
Keith: *he continues to make a tinfoil hat* I am not letting my guard down. Not even for a second. Not even when I sleep! I know the government preys on weakness and ignorance and so I will remain vigilant and strike at them the instant they try to make their move to disrupt the show or its contestants! *he wears the finished tinfoil hat*
Abby: I'm a soccer team manager, so it's my job to look after the players and make sure they are all fit and healthy and ready to play at any given notice. I want my team to be in top shape always so i hope that gives them a reason for me to stay.
Gabriella: I didn't know Gabriel would be here. *she sighs* Well I guess you guys should know. He's my younger twin brother who is so introverted that I honestly don't like it anymore. He needs to go outside more and socialize and get some fresh air and sunlight and all that. Live the teenage life you know. Not just get cooped up in a room doing whatever.
Beatrice: Jackie is a bit...overwhelming but nothing I can't handle. I suppose I just a shy girl around strangers so I do hope I can get comfortable around my teammates soon. I don't wanna be left out and end up getting eliminated for it. *she shudders*
Antoine: Every person here isn't really as smart as me. They're all dumb compared to a trivia master like me. *he smirks* And I'll show that by taking control of the team and being the leader! Yeah that's right, I'll be uncontested!
Caitlyn: I'm gonna admit something here, I'm not actually just any photographer. I'm a journalist, and I plan on getting a big scoop here in this season. Isn't this great? I wonder what secrets this island holds. I wonder what secrets the other cast members hold. Stay with me everyone because Caitlyn Malcolm will uncover it all!
Gabriel: So my twin sister is here?...Not a big deal for me. I came here to win through logic and expert masterminding...to show her that even though I don't go out much, I do not have the weaknesses of a sheltered boy...
Tom: Okay so the newbie host isn't so bad but I still think Blaineley should be the main host! She's the veteran one. I can't stand this disrespect! I demand Blaineley be the main host this instant!
Silvia: I got excited to audition after I found out Nelly signed up for Total Drama Sci-Fi Showdown. It may not be sci-fi themed here, but hopefully my cosplay can somewhat endorse it.
Jamie: I don't have much to say actually, but I guess I wanna give a shoutout to my family back home. I know my brother, Nicholas, is on a different season but I'm excited to win this one. Seriously though, will Kazuo and Eliza be alright? Maybe I should keep a close eye on them.
Caleb: Damn, why did I have to lose those parts? Now I need to find new ones if I'm ever going to make something out here. Not to mention we're surrounded by so much nature so it could be difficult.
Winona: I can't wait to get started! I heard that fashionistas don't often go to reality shows that tend to get messy and I can understand that. So I'll try extra to keep these amazing clothes safe while still doing my best. *she giggles*
Kazuo: *he sways a bit as he looks at the camera* So far so gooood~ Hehehe, I wonder what the butterfly effect has in store for me in this first challenge.
Eliza: That Kazuo is one weird guy, and Jamie looks familiar somehow. I don't know, maybe it's just me. Anyways, I watched a couple of seasons and even watched the Sci-Fi Showdown one because my cousin Nataline is in it so I know how this game works. All I can say is, I have a pretty good idea what my game plan will be. *she smiles evilly*
~End Confessional~
The camera now showed a nearly empty dock, with only the two hosts present.
"The teams have been decided and now the challenge is underway." Valnoir announced with a grin.
"Will the White Stallions make it to the cabin first, or will the Black Knights seize the day?"
"The cast has been introduced and now it's time to see them in action as their leadership skills and teamwork will be tested." Valnoir added. "Find out next time on Total..."
"Drama..." Blaineley chimed in.
"Forgotten Island!" They both finished in unison.
This is my second story, everyone. Please do not worry as I have not abandoned my first story, which is the Total Drama Sci-Fi Showdown. I merely posted this so that all of you will be aware of my next project afterwards. I'll still give heavy focus on the merge phase of the first story but I'll be posting bits of this one too in the process. So tell me what you think of this cast by leaving a review and I will see you all next time! :) XBloodLegendX
