Welcome to the first Episode! Thanks to everyone who submitted an OC.

Anyway, let's get right into it.

Episode 1: Coming from the Sea Down Under, Part 1

Chris stood in a sailor's hat on top of the submarine. He was wearing his proud smile. "Welcome back to season eight of Total Drama!" he announced. "We have a brand new season to do this time, and we'll be spending our time in the Official Total Drama Super Sub!" The window beneath him cracked a bit as he said it. He turned down to observe it. "Can we get an intern on that?" A few interns went to go address the situation. "While we're at a new spot," he continued, "things still go the same."

"Who's going to take it all?" Chris asked the camera. "Will it be a newbie? A vet? We will see who will win, or lose today, on Total! Drama! Suuuuubmeeeeeeeerged!

Opening Sequence

{The intro music plays as multiple camera pop out from random places. The first emerges from the ceiling in the control room, a second from a bowl of fruit, and a third one from a escape hatch.}

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doing fine

{The camera quickly goes through the Super Sub until it hits the sleeping chambers. It moves out the window until it reaches Gretchen, barely swimming underwater. Meanwhile, Juan is pressed up against the wall, trying to avoid Hannah. Juan is unable to escape. Sybil stands on the side and smiles evilly.}

You guys are on my mind

{Ethan and Quaoar both have dueling sticks, but they appear to be evenly matched. Brook shoves Quaoar into water below him, while Ethan passes his dueling stick to Mag, who throws it at Jonathan. Jonathan also falls into water.}

You asked me what I wanted to be

{The camera zooms to the mess hall, where Chef throws food at Damien and Ezekiel. Iris walks over to them, holding one of Quaoar's swords. She makes a threat to the two boys and walks off.}

And I think the answer is plain to see

{Norm sits in his bed as Sheldon begins blabbing off to him. Norm has zoned him out and begins thinking about other things. Luna growls at him in the back, while Adrian overlooks this, laughing.

I wanna be famous

{Flora, Lavender, and Mackenzie are looking at fish out the window. Paul walks over and taps Flora on the shoulder. She gets up and hugs Paul.}

I wanna live close to the sun

{Eden pokes her head out as she watches Juan and Sebastian form some sort of deal. She scowls}

Go pack your bags, cause I've already won

{Kara pokes at an escape pod near some benches. One of them shoots off, startling the girl.}

Everything to prove, nothing in my way

{Aaron and Sebastian are seen arguing in front of their team. Meanwhile, Eden in looking for something.}

I'll get there one day

{Ezekiel is now seen with Ethan, who is teaching him something.}

Cause I wanna be, famous

{Kayla writes on a white board while Sheldon observes. Basic social manners can be seen on the board.}

Na na na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na na

{Madison walks away from Sybil, who was being weird. She grabs a dueling stick to face off with Hannah.}

I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!

{Sets of two face off similar to the season five intro. Ethan and Jonathan, Eden and Marty, Madison and Hannah, Quaoar and Iris, Angie and Paul, Therion and Adrian are all facing off.}

I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!

{In the center of them all, Chander is seen spinning fire. He sends one though the middle.}

Whistling- I wanna be famous

{The mess hall zooms out to see all thirty contestants. In the middle, Jonathan has flowers for Kayla, who walks away from it.}

He stepped off the submarine and walked onto the beach. "Before we see who's coming in hot for their first time, let's take a gander at our returning contestants. First up, the apathetic academic, Norm!"

Norm walked over and took a look at the Sub. "Yeah, no."

"Come on," Chris said, "this won't be so bad!" Norm just rolled his eyes. Chris continued. "Norm's ex, spooky psychic, Luna!" Luna glared at the host, then walked over to Norm.

"Don't get any ideas," she said.

"Trust me," Norm said, "I wasn't."

Chris went on while they glared at each other. "Phone fanatic, Hannah!"

Hannah ran over. "Are you guys ready? I'm so excited!"

"You don't remember all the suffering from last season because you were eliminated fifth," a boy said to her.

Chris was angry at the boy. "Paul, you were supposed to wait for your cue!"

Paul shrugged. "Uninterested."

"Speaking of uninterested," Chris said, "Hannah's dream guy, Juan!"

Juan tried making it there quietly but was intercepted. "Juan! I'm so glad you're here!" she said, hugging him.

Juan shoved her off. "Never, do that, again." His voice was more intense. He looked at the host. "Chris, where's that confessional?" he asked.

"Just over there," Chris said. Juan made his way over as Chris went on. "Silent sweetheart, Madison!" Madison just walked over and waved. "Poisoning pushover, Jonathan!"

"It was one time!" Jonathan complained. "Wasn't Juan here?" he asked.

Juan: The confessional is in the submarine, with a grey metal wall behind him and to either side. He groans. "The longer Hannah's here, the more miserable I am." He changes to a smirk. "So, I'll make this one easy on me by taking her out. If she dies in the process, I think I'll manage."

Chris continued announcing. "Tiring Twins, Kayla and Kara!"

"How are we tiring?" Kara asked.

"How is Chris not?" Kayla added.

Chris ignored this and went on. "Menacing manipulator, Ethan!"

"No thanks," he said. "Clean slate, remember?"

Jonathan scoffed. "That won't last long."

"I doubt you will be any nicer," a girl said.

Chris sighed again. "Angie, you missed your cue also?"

Angie smiled and nodded. "Yep, and I don't care."

Angie: She remained calm, leaning against the submarine wall. "So after my somewhat early departure last season, I found out I had a sister. I don't know how to deal with that, especially considering I might never actually see them. Whatever, I'll just win this season and be happy."

Chris continued. "Clumsy klutz, Gretchen, and nerdy narcissist, Sheldon!"

"Narcissist hardly accurately describes me in this current-" he started only to be shoved over by Gretchen, who ran into him accidentally.

"Yay!" she said. "Isn't this exciting? I get to be with all my friends, like Angie, and Ethan!" The two mentioned exchanged odd looks.

Ethan: He shook his head. "So after taking her out last season, she thinks we're friends. Not complaining, but she really needs to get a grip on the game if she thinks she can do well."

Chris announced the final competitor. "Finally, kind and caring, Flora!" Flora walked over and waved to everyone, then ran over to Paul and gave him a hug. Chris still kept talking. "Now, for our new competitors!"

"Yo, Chris!" Someone called out. "You forgot to introduce me! Again!"

Chris deadpanned. "No longer nuts, Ezekiel."

Ezekiel: He's evidently angry. "Chris thinks he can just get rid o' me first again. Not this time! I'm totally gonna win this thing!"

"Now," Chris said, "for the new competitors! He's nuts, he's got swords, and he was formerly inside last season's winner, Quaoar!" Quaoar was wearing a dark jacket and pants, with his black scarf around his neck. His hair was also black, but evidently dyed.

"Here to show you all what I could have done!" he said. "Look out, because I'm not going easy on anyone!" Ethan rolled his eyes.

Chris went on. "Next, she's also nuts, and insists that someone here, by that, everyone, is out to get her, Iris!"

A girl with brown hair with blue streaks came up. She had a blue top and jeans, with a white jacket over it. She was also carrying four backpacks. "Oh yeah, like they're gonna get through me."

Juan: He was smirking, leaning against the metal of the confessional. "She's insane. Luckily, I can make her paranoia her downfall." He chuckles.

"Up next," said Chris, "is a guitarist and cover artist. You might know her as SilverSinger5427 on YouTube! Here to take out the lying cheaters," he said this part right at Ethan, "Mackenzie!"

Mackenzie was a girl of average height, wearing a blue chiffon tank top, blue jeans, white socks, and white running shoes. Her brown hair was tied in a waterfall braid. "Good to see all of you!" Everyone was nice, except for one person.

Iris: Her arms were crossed and she was scowling. "No one here is actually nice. By chance we be on the same team, she will not be in an alliance with me. Actually, no one will."

Chris went on. "Next, he's a party-going and party-hosting daredevil who's ready to bring the fun into this game, Aaron!"

Aaron approached all of them. He had brown hair and wore a green t-shirt, black shorts, and black tennis shoes. "He's not wrong," Aaron told them. "If I win, party's on me!"

"I look forward to an exciting time," Flora said.

"Oh, it'll be exciting," Aaron confirmed. Flora, still oblivious, smiled.

"Now," Chris said, "he's a combat-trained leader who grew up on a survival camp, Sebastian!" Sebastian walked over. He was wearing a slightly ripped, thin maroon-colored workout sweater with dark gray workout joggers. He completed his outfit with Nike sneakers and wore a maroon, tie-back headband.

"A survival camp?" Gretchen asked. "They have those? How do I get one?"

Sebastian shook his head. "My father was obsessed with survivalism. You don't just get onto a camp." He turned to Chris. "Is it true we're singing?"

Chris smiled and nodded. "Sure is. And up next, we have a one-eyed wonder who loves flowers and nature, Lavender!"

Another girl walked up to them. She had evidently dyed purple hair, a violet in her hair, and a lilac over one of her eyes. She is wearing cargo shorts and a light green t-shirt. She also has a survival backpack on. "Can we not mention that, please?" She asks nicely.

Iris looks at her. "I see someone else decided to come mildly prepared."

Iris: "Of course she looks nice. It's everyone's game plan. Look nice, crush later. I have my eye out on her." She stops, and thinks about what she said. "Oh hold on-"

"After her," Chris says, "is a theater nut who has a sense of superiority, Adrian!" Adrian approaches the rest of them. He has black slacks, black dress shoes, and a red button-up shirt that's French tucked into his slacks. He has a red scrunchie is around his wrist. His blue hair goes just below his shoulders.

"Yo homie!" Zeke calls out to him. Adrian simply scoffs at him and moves on.

"Next," Chris continues, "a stealthy agent who is ready to show her stuff, Eden!"

"Hi guys," she says. She looks over at the Karon Island competitors, who are all talking and ignoring the newbies. Only Juan is carefully watching them. Eden is wearing all black with a black choker as well.

"Hi!" Mackenzie says back.

"Okay!" Chris says. "No fun! No laughter and happiness! That's not what this show is about!" He smiles again. "And speaking of the lack of all of that, allow me to introduce Sybil!"

Sybil was wearing a black turtle-neck sweatshirt with an image of a pink skull on it, a short, dark grey skirt and black stockings. For shoes she wore black loafers and had a pink bow. "Um...hi," was all she said. Madison poked her head around and looked at her.

Madison: "I see a bit of myself, in Sybil," Madison admitted. She then cringed a bit. "There is something...off, about her though."

Chris introduced the next person. "Next up, a vengeful girl who wouldn't admit to us why she failed to fight a raccoon, Miranda!"

A girl stepped forward, wearing brown straight hair that reaches her waist, with turquoise bangs. She was wearing a red tank top covered with a black three-fourth sleeve off the shoulder see-through top, black skirt with a false gold zipper on the left side, and black ankle boots with one false gold buckle on each boot. "Uh, just Mag is fine," she says awkwardly. She then notices someone. "You!" She called out to a Karon Island contestant. She charged at Jonathan.

Lavender and Sebastian managed to pull her back at the last second. Jonathan stood there confused.

Jonathan: He's still confused about the ordeal. "So, that was...something. No matter, I don't plan on the newbies being a problem this season. I don't plan on anyone being a problem this season." He chuckles to himself.

"Moving on," Chris says, "someone who specifically said she didn't want to win, Brook!"

A girl stepped out with brown hair, a black hoodie, a white t-shirt, a pair of dark blue jeans, and black sneakers. "Hi!" she says kindly. "I hope you didn't actually take that seriously!"

"Oh, we didn't," Adrian tried to say as nicely as possible.

Adrian: He's trying not to laugh. "This is perfect!" he says. "Assuming she's on my team, I can keep her around. Then, I take out the real threats, and win easily." He stops and looks around. "This confessional is disgusting..."

Kayla: She's scowling and kicking the confessional wall. "Ugh, this place is nasty. " She turns to the camera. "Anyway, remember last season when I said I can read people like a book? These newbies are no exception, and I don't like the spooky and evil vibes I'm getting from them." She sighs. "Hopefully I don't blow it like last season. I'm here to win, and with all these evil wannabe's in the sub, I'll look like a saint!"

"Hey!" Angie called, "do we get a break from these introductions! I forget half these people's names!"

"Yeah, me too," Gretchen said. "I can't win if I'm not friends with everyone!" A few people stared at her. "Most people?" she tried correcting. A few shook their heads. "Oh."

"Up next," Chris says, "he's, as his audition tape suggests, a 'lost poor soul looking for his calling in life,' Marty!"

Marty smiled and waved to everyone. "Hi all!"

"Hi!" Gretchen said, excited. Marty simply smirked at her and kept moving.

Marty: He's snickering. "Way to go, Chris. Yes, that was in my audition tape. I then mentioned how I was lying. These people aren't gonna know what him 'em!" He slammed his fist into his other hand.

"Now, to our third-to-last competitor, a quiet gamer who shares native ties with another person here, Therion!" Therion walks over to them and waves. He has long black hair and is wearing a black and red hoodie, black sweatpants, and prescription glasses. Juan cunningly smiles at him.

Juan: He's staring blankly at the camera. "What?" he asks, "You think because we can speak the same language I'm gonna go easy on him? Not a chance."

"And now," Chris says, "to our penultimate contestant-"

"Excellent word selection," Sheldon compliments.

Chris rolls his eyes at him. "Didn't ask," he responds. "A spooky prankster who loves messing around, Chander!" Chander walks over to them, holding batons and fire starting material in his arms. He was wearing a white shirt underneath his large dark purple trench coat, and he had black leggings on underneath.

"Is that, stuff for fire?" Mackenzie asked. Chander nodded.

Sybil smiled at this. "Someone could get seriously hurt," she commented.

"I'm not concerned," Chander answered.

Chris smiled. "Finally, to our last contestant, an antisocial writer to challenge even Norm's apathy." Norm looked over, half falling asleep. "Damien!"

Damien simply walked over and waved, even the wave was lazy. He had red streaks in his brown hair, and wore a black hoodie over a red shirt, jeans, and sneakers. Norm looked at him and simply walked away.

Norm: "I was hoping I could at least make a friend," he admits. "With Ethan on redemption mode and myself fresh off a breakup I was brutal with, I'm sort of out of allies." He shrugged. "But that? Yeah, no. I'm not making friends with that."

Chris walks over to everyone. He lifts up a sheet to show four mats behind him: red, blue, purple, and yellow. "So, with thirty people," he explains, "we are going to have four teams. Once we split you up, we will do the challenge, and then we will get onto the sub."

"The challenge is on the beach here?" Lavender asks, "And not on the sub?"

Chris frowned. "That's what I said, was it not?" He turns to everyone again. "I will be splitting the teams like this," he explains, "vets and rookies, along with good and evil." Commotion started, but Chris took care of it quickly. "Rookies, you will be judged by your audition tape alone, vets by past performance." He then made a dark grin. "However, to keep things on edge, one member of each team, who I will not disclose, will be misplaced. A fish out of water. You will be the odd one out. Try not to be found out."

Juan: "I'll be on the hero team," he says. "No one knows a thing about me yet."

Jonathan: He laughs. "Hero team, that's me," he says. "I'm the only one who tried to stop Ethan!"

Ethan: He sighs. "I'll probably be on the villain team. Unless I'm misplaced."

He walks over to the red mat first. "Team 1!" he says, "Consists of the following: Norm, Gretchen, Angie, Luna, Flora, Madison, Kara," he sighs, "and Ezekiel!"

"Yo! Huge team!" Zeke exclaims.

Norm raises his hand. "Yeah, I know this won't happen, but I'd like to switch with someone on, uh, not this team." He shot daggers at Luna.

"I second that," Luna says.

Chris laughs. "I put you two on a team for a reason. You'll notice Flora and Madison are split from their respective boyfriends. We're keeping things for the ratings!" All six veterans who were referenced to groaned. "I'm also not telling you which team that is, but it shouldn't be hard to figure out."

"Hey!" Jonathan called. "Where's my spot on the hero team?"

"Yeah!" Juan called. "You misplaced me."

Chris keeps walking. "Juan, you know why, and Jonathan, you're kidding, right?" He steps on the blue mat. "Team 2 consists of Ethan, Sheldon, Juan, Jonathan, Paul, Hannah, Kayla."

"Saw that coming," Kayla grumbled.

Hannah ran over to Juan. Juan sidestepped her before she got a chance to do anything. She fell into the sand face first. "Yay, me and Juan are together again!" she cheers from the sand.

"Now where we get interesting," Chris says, moving to the purple mat. "Let's see if any of you know what you're up against."

Kayla: "I already know," she says. "I know where the evil people are, and frankly, whatever team Lavender and Mackenzie are not on is the evil one."

"Team 3," Chris says, "is made up of the following: Chander, Quaoar, Adrian, Marty, Brook, Therion, Mag, and Iris." Everyone went over to the purple mat who was called. "Good to see all of you," Therion says.

Quaoar and Iris scowl at them. "Villain team," Iris mumbles so only Quaoar hears her.

Quaoar slowly nods. "Yup, I knew it'd be wherever I was. We have to take everyone out."

Iris punched him subtly. "No alliances. You think I'm an idiot?" She walks away and Quaoar is left standing there.

Quaoar: "So," he says, "that was my first interaction with a girl who isn't Madison. I guess psycho Ethan didn't like her too much, because even though I was part of Ethan, I don't like anybody here. That's gotta be a first."

Chris now stood at the yellow mat. "The final team, if you couldn't figure out, is Mackenzie, Lavender, Aaron, Sebastian, Sybil, Eden, and Damien." They all went over and started greeting each other excitedly.

Sybil: She stares blankly at nothing. "Interesting..." she thought out loud. "Either I was the one misplaced, or there are some very evil people on the other team. There's no way these happy people are villains."

Chris stood at the sub, which was about 200 feet behind all of them. There were four rafts, each representing a color of each team. "Your challenge," he began, "is a dash to the sub. "You must all get your entire team on to your rickety raft, and the next person can't start moving until the previous gets on. Oh, and if your raft tips over, or someone falls off the raft, you must start over completely. Then, take your raft to the sub. First full team at the sub has immunity." He then turns to them and laughs. "Oh, and second place also has immunity. This season, while fourth is guaranteed to send someone to elimination, third place better hope for luck, because they could be sending someone home." Commotion started up again.

"Two people almost each day?" Therion questioned. "That's brutal."

"Now," Chris said. "We're going back to the roots for this one. You guys have two minutes to think of a team name."

After two minutes, the red team went first. "Team Fire!" they all called out. A red logo appeared on the red circle behind it.

The blue team was still heavily discussing. Ethan walked away from them. "Team Alpha," he said calmly. A blue alpha symbol appeared on the screen.

Everyone from his team turned to him in disbelief. "Are you insane?" Sheldon asked him. "It's quite common knowledge that the teams that name themselves after winning statuses are bound to lose!"

"I have faith in my leadership," Ethan said.

Juan scoffed. "Just know that it might cost you."

The purple team went next. "Team Friendship!" Marty said. A few people looked at him. "Well, it's settled." A purple logo of two hands shaking appeared on the screen.

"It will be quite the opposite," Adrian muttered to himself. Therion took note of what he said.

Therion: He's scowling at what he heard. "So I've been misplaced," he muses. "It will be my goal to take out all of these villains. There will be war."

The yellow team went last. Damien went to announce it. "Team, uh, I don't know, how about-" A yellow logo with a question mark popped up.

"That's just...wonderful," Sebastian muttered.

Sebastian: He's clearly angry at his team name. "If they think they can slack off and keep us in the game, they have another thing coming. I will make sure that anyone who is a liability to the team pays."

The four teams have now lined up to get ready. On Team Alpha, Hannah was up first. Juan glared at her. "If you blow this challenge for pictures again," Juan tells Hannah, "I will personally end you."

Hannah laughed. "Aww, that's funny! I know we would never break up."

Juan went wide-eyed. "Break up? We're not-" An air horn went off.

"Go!" Chris called. Hannah surprisingly ran, and at a decent speed too.

On Team Fire, Luna was up first, Aaron for Team I Don't Know, and Brook for Team Friendship.

Chris took the time to face the camera. "Who will win it all? Who will get out much earlier than expected. My money's on Zeke. Find out next time on Total! Drama! Suuuuuubmerged!"

Team Statuses:

Team Alpha: Ethan, Hannah, Jonathan, Juan, Kayla, Paul, Sheldon

Team Fire: Angie, Ezekiel, Flora, Gretchen, Kara, Luna, Norm, Madison

Team Friendship: Adrian, Brook, Chander, Iris, Mag, Marty, Quaoar, Therion

Team I Don't Know: Aaron, Damien, Eden, Lavender, Mackenzie, Sebastian, Sybil

So, there it is, the first chapter.

Besides your own OC, if you submitted one, who's your favorite so far?

Again, please let me know how I did with your OC. Chris's introduction does not necessarily mean my opinion on them, but it was more part of Chris's personality. I know most characters had a few lines at most, but from what you saw, that'd be good.

The opening sequence has a lot of character arcs revealed, and shows some mended friendships. See what you can predict from that.

Now, eliminations. When I wrote Karon Island, I built the plot around eliminations. I mapped out the game before the characters. With some like Ethan and Gretchen, I knew what I was doing, but characters like Sarah didn't get built in until the chapter 1 rewrite I did. Here, I have no idea what's going to happen, except the first elimination ceremony. Heck, I don't even have the finale, well, finalized.

I know who my main antagonist is going to be though. Others will make it far, but they will best out all the other 'villains' on the sub. Well, except maybe one...

Now, with thirty people, I am going to have large plot for a lot of characters, and very little for some. Expect a few shocking early eliminations of people who appear to be prominent players.

Singing- It's still happening, expect some in the next part. This is a two-part chapter.

I'm sure I forgot something, but give me your overall thoughts (a little more than a fluff review would be nice, but I can't stop you) on the story, and I'll see you next time!
