Well, here's another new story. It's sort of a special AU. A new Total Drama story I've had on my mind for some time. This is mostly Mike's POV. This is very similar to Sly Cooper, but I decided to change a few things. What if instead of thieves, Mike and his friends were renegades or vigilantes causing trouble for evildoers while trying to find the Fiendish Five? Even finding clues or old data files instead of stealing back the pages of the Thievius Raccoonus? This first chapter will just be just Mike's past with no one else saying any lines.

I'm Mike Cooper. It was another ordinary summer day for me. I got up early preparing for the exciting day ahead. I rushed downstairs before my parents noticed. Then I noticed my parents coming down. Things were great for us. Being only thirteen at the time wasn't bad. At that time, I didn't think about the life hidden in darkness I have now.

You see, not many people acknowledged me or even knew who I was. I was labeled a head case because of my MPD or Multiple Personality Disorder. Four other people who look like me share the inside of my head and come out in different situations, or so I thought it was just four.

There's Chester, an old timer who goes on about how things were way back when. One of them is also a girl who's a Russian gymnast named Svetlana, who shows up when I'm faced with an athletic or acrobatic obstacle. Next is Vito, this tough guy who either picks fights with other guys or is trying to flirt with anyone possible. Manitoba Smith is probably the one personality whose appearances come in handy in the most dire of times. He's an adventure seeking survivalist and shows up if I wear a fancy hat called a fedora.

Mom and Dad did what they could to make sure I turned out okay. Somehow, they knew I'd be able to pull through even with my disorder. Even if I was having a rough time like being pummeled by bullies or getting shut out by everyone else, they'd always turn it around.

Since it was still summer, that meant I was safe from callous peers for a while longer. But, that also meant fireworks and possibly finding someone who won't think I'm a freak. I enjoyed holidays the most. Unfortunately, the day after Canada Day was when tragedy struck.

That morning was ordinary enough. Trying to look forward to the time when maybe just one other person wouldn't see me the way I was seen by others. That evening, five mysterious figures ravaged the neighborhood. People were either fearful or up in arms. My parents knowing my disorder could possibly trigger because of this, decided it would be for the best if I steer clear of them. But that's when I recognized them, a group of offenders who had made news headlines for some time.

Fearing for my parents' safety, I couldn't stay hidden. In the rowdiness and confusion, I suffered a head trauma, knocking me into my own subconscious. I was greeted by my other personalities, but couldn't help but think. If all five of us are here, who's controlling my body? I didn't realize it at the time, there had to be a fifth personality I was just finding out about.

After the chaos died down, my eyes were readjusting. I looked around and saw nothing for a while. Unexpectedly, I wound up cuffed down for something I didn't do. Why didn't my parents say anything? Where were they, even? I know I didn't cause any of this. I had woken up in the back of a squad car, in my mind I was at wit's end. Was it the fifth personality that did this? It didn't matter. The five who were responsible just disappeared.

I had arrived at my new home for the next two and a half years. Yes, I was now a juvie kid. I trembled thinking about how I was gonna survive. Maybe Vito would have my back, he's pretty tough. Or Manitoba would come through considering survival was key. What I didn't expect was the supposed 'evil' personality instantly took control when I was in danger. The others spent most of the time in my head, and that's when I learned my new enemy's name, Mal.

Shortly after I arrived and Mal was practically running the place, I noticed new people coming in, and one of them had very unusual hair. That got me thinking, what if he was the one from the raid? I remembered one of them had wildly colored in a crazy style. But I decided not to approach.

By the time I was released, I had already in enrolled at a local high school. People there didn't know who I was, so I thought of it as a perfect chance to start over. I only ever reached out to my two new pals, Cameron and Brick. Cam was a formerly known bubble boy, and is now a bit of a bookworm and enjoys gathering new information. Brick is very strong, and can tear through any physical obstacle due to his soldier background.

When they learned of my MPD, they were totally cool with it. I couldn't tell you how psyched I was. I finally found friends who see me and not someone evil like Mal. Cameron even comes with ways for me to be able to control my disorder. After he viewed the original four, he discovered their triggers; frustration, acrobatics, removing my shirt, and wearing a fedora. But Cameron or Brick knew how to instantly pull me from my subconscious. I didn't want to tell them about Mal just yet.

Then, disaster struck again. A few years later, somehow, the five who landed me in the big house separated and are causing trouble in random areas throughout the country. That was when my friends had to know the truth about my past. It turns out, they were also affected by the Fiendish Five, their new name after making themselves known again. Together, we decided to spend most our looking for answers about that day, maybe even find traces of my missing parents. When we graduated, we finally knew our next move. Track down the five and stop their evil reign.

I knew I was about to go into deep waters by doing this. But I was wrongfully locked away and separated from the only family I know, something had to be done. In the time we spent preparing, our skill sets greatly improved. Brick can handle obstacle courses better out of the three of us. Cameron can take almost any random object and use to make the most of current situations. And I learned to utilize my multiple personalities, and make make the best use of their abilities, yet I still couldn't completely control them. It was time for a new adventure.

A pretty good prologue, I'd say. If this gets enough reviews, I'll do a very special chapter later on. I already have two of the Fiendish Five picked out from Total Drama villains. But I need three good choices to fit Raleigh, Mz. Ruby and Panda King. I already know who Muggshot and Clockwerk will be. Make sure you follow and review. Peace out everybody!
