Hello, everyone! Thank you for reading this. This story is the not very highly anticipated sequel to my first long-term fan fiction, Unbroken Rules. I hope you all like it. After TDI went so oddly in my last story due to Chris not letting anyone break the rules, things will diverge even more in this story. Like last time, the first chapter isn't very good, but it's necessary to have it. Things diverge more in the second chapter, so try to be patient. Next chapter will be up tomorrow. For now, read on and enjoy.
Total Drama Action: Unmade Bonds
By Sandstormzach
Chapter 1: TDA, Now With 20% More Eva and Cody
After the hunt for the million dollars ended terribly, and fourteen of the Total Drama campers were forced into a second season, Chris let everyone rest for a few days before things got started again. Then, they all got on a bus and got out when they reached an old film lot. The bus pulled up to the gate and a bumper fell off of it. Duncan came out first and smelled the air. "Man, I missed the smell of the city", he said. Leshawna was next, followed by Harold, and then Gwen and Heather tried to exit at the same time. "Step off!" "You step off!" They growled at each other and both got out at once, running into Harold, who hit Leshawna. "Oww! Sorry, Leshawna", Harold said. "No harm done", she replied. Everyone else got off the bus, and it left. "Where is everybody?", Leshawna asked. "Maybe we got off at the wrong stop?", Gwen said. "But that bus was for us, it only HAD one stop", Cody said. "I'm not hanging around here", Heather said. Leshawna rolled her eyes. "You're gonna give up your chance at a million big ones? Yeah right." Heather sighed. "Guess I can stay for a bit." "Well I don't want to!", Eva yelled. "Where the heck is Chris? He was supposed to meet us here." Right on cue, Chris pulled up in a very long cart. "Dude, it's about time!", Duncan said. He and the others got in.
"Come on, people, we haven't got all day! This cart's rented by the hour!", Chris yelled. Geoff looked around and noticed someone was missing. He turned and called "Yo, Izzy!" She just stood there, whistling. "Oh, I mean Kaleidoscope!" She smiled. "No one leaves E-Scope behind!" She ran to the bus, jumped in and kissed Geoff. "Welcome to the set of Total Drama Action!", Chris said. "This season's hottest reality show will be shot here, on an abandoned film lot." Lindsay gasped. "Does this mean we're gonna be in the movies?" "No, it means you're gonna be on TV. And don't interrupt me! Ever!" He turned and flicked Lindsay's nose, then resumed driving. "You'll be spending the next six weeks here, competing against each other in challenges and for rewards, all for the chance to win some monster cash!" Owen laughed. "Yeah, baby, I'm gonna win me some moolah!" "Shush! Anyway, like last season, one team will win and the other team will watch one of their own make their way down the dreaded walk of shame, to the lame-ousine." He pulled up to the limo by a stadium, which spewed exhaust fumes at the campers. Trent coughed. "Couldn't you have sprung for a better ride?", he asked. "No. Now since we don't have the outhouse to dump your deepest, darkest secrets in, you'll dish the dirt in our new makeup booth confession cam." He pulled up to it and Lindsay hopped out.
Confession Cam: Lindsay
"Oh my gosh, a whole trailer full of makeup!" A hand appeared, offering some lipstick. "Oh, sorry, I don't use that brand."
Chris drove past some more buildings and then to a tent. "On your left is the craft services tent and mess hall, catered by Chef. If you survive Chef, you'll have to make it through our dramatic award ceremony, where all but one loser will receive a gilded Chris award." Chris smiled. "Cool, huh?"
Confession Cam: Gwen
"The gilded Chris? Ha! What a narcissist! Don't get me wrong, though, I still want one."
Geoff sighed. "You done now, dude?" Chris glared at him. "I have an eject button, and I'll use it." "Please, continue." He didn't. Instead, he drove through some fancy backdrops. "Whoa... Cool! Is this a dream?", Harold asked. "No Harold, it is not, but you may soon wish it was. A few months ago, this lot was home to a high budget monster movie, until the star began experiencing some, ah... uuuh... difficulties?" Lindsay gasped. "Oh no, did she have, like, a mental breakdown?" Chris grinned wickedly. "Actually the star wasn't a 'her'... it was an animatronic monster!" Gwen looked around. "Is that why half these buildings have bite marks on them?"
Suddenly, a loud roar was heard from nearby. "Come on, dudes, he's yanking our chains", Duncan said. He was soon proven wrong by some intense stomping and a falling phone pole. Several campers screamed, and Cody started clinging to Lindsay. Chris stopped the cart and turned to the campers. "Since we're on a film lot, this season's challenges will be based on movie genres. Today's genre: the monster movie!" Chris laughed and the giant monster walked by the cart. DJ fainted. Chris got out and poked him with a stick. "Huh. Down for the count. Anyway, for your first challenge, just get from here to the cast trailers while our state of the art monster prevents your every move."
Several minutes of this episode cannot be found on YouTube so I can't go over exactly what happened during them. Basically the monster chased them around for a while and caught some of the contestants, the next part I can get video of is when Gwen and Trent reach the beach...
Gwen and Trent ran to the beach, and the monster tried to whack them with its tail. Cody ran by, and the monster caught him. "Oh, crap..." While Trent and Gwen ran to hide, the monster carried Cody over to the bounce house, where Leshawna, Harold, Geoff and Bridgette were.
Confession Cam: Cody
"I really should've watched some of the old Kaiju movies I own before coming here..."
Later, Heather was running from the monster, and Lindsay ran after it. The monster roared at Heather. "You tell her, we don't like her!", Lindsay said. The monster turned around and scooped her up, then grabbed Heather, and dropped them in the bounce house. Lindsay hugged Cody. "Oh, I'm so glad you're safe, Brody!" "Cody." "Whatever!" Meanwhile, the monster went off to chase, Trent, Gwen, DJ and Eva. After a few blocks, Trent stopped suddenly and yelled "Everyone, follow me!"
Confession Cam: Gwen
"That's what makes Trent such a great boyfriend. He's always thinking of others. It's one of the things I love about him."
He led them into a building, but when they got through the door they were out in a clearing. "You mean everything around here is fake?", Trent asked. The monster reached over the fake building and grabbed all four of them. It walked over to the bounce house and dropped them. "I'm here for you, Gwen!", Trent yelled. But, they landed safely. "Oh... huh." Back where those four had been, Duncan and Owen came out from behind a fake car. "Haha, losers!", Duncan said. "I'm glad I'm not them", said Owen. Then, the monster tapped Duncan on the shoulder and roared at him. He grabbed Duncan and took him away. Owen tried to run in the other direction, but didn't get far. "I can't... run... any... more..." He fell over, and the monster came back to take him away. It grabbed and lifted Owen, but its arm started to break and sparks flew from it. "Huh?"
Confession Cam: Owen
"Boy, am I ever glad I didn't go on that diet! Being unhealthily fat saved my life! Pretty ironic, huh?"
The monster dropped Owen, who cheered. "Yes, I win! I win!" Chris walked up and said "Not yet, Owen my man. You still have to find the trailers." Owen groaned. "Aww, man..." The next morning, he found them. He fell over by the bounce house and broke it open with a pin. "It took you ten and a half hours to walk three city blocks? That's just sad, man", DJ said. After they got out, Leshawna looked around. "Wait, where's Izzy?" The monster walked up, crushed a nearby trailer and set Izzy down by the others. "Thanks for the date, baby!", she said. Geoff gasped. "You're cheating on me with a giant lizard?" She hugged him. "Oh, don't be silly. I was just in it for the fancy dinner. He wouldn't take no for an answer. Pretty crazy, can't even tell you guys."
Chris walked out of the other, uncrushed trailer, and looked around. "Whoa, am I ever glad I chose not to wait in THAT trailer. Well, it looks like you all made it. Guess I lose the bet... that was just a warmup. Good news is your next challenge is for a reward." The campers cheered. "It will be the boys against the girls, with the winner getting the first pick of the trailers, where you'll be living for the next six weeks. Now, off to the craft services tent!" "Yeah, baby", Owen said, "I'm starving!"
Confession Cam: Owen
"My mom says I eat when I'm upset. And happy. And tired. Not to mention bored, gassy, morose, joyous, comatose, semiconscious, avuncular... Hahaha, avuncular."
At the tent, Owen yelled "This is awesome!" "Dude, this chow looks like something out of a commercial", Geoff said. "Ooh, can I star?", Lindsay asked. Owen smiled. "Let's get this speed eating contest started! On your marks, get set, come to papa!" Owen charged at the food and started eating. Chris yelled "No, wait!", but Owen ignored him. When he finished eating everything, he collapsed on the table. "Owen, the man of many appetites. How was it?", Chris asked. "Uh, the turkey was a bit dry..." "Not surprising, since the food was fake." "Fake?" "Yep. Just props made from foam core, silicone, sawdust and wax. It wasn't a speed eating contest. It was a contest to find the key." "What key?" Owen belched and it shot out of his mouth. "Oh, you mean this key?" "That'd be the one", Chris said. Owen smiled. "Does this mean I win?" "Yes, yes it does." "Alright!" The guys cheered.
Confession Cam: Eva
"I swear, if he wins another challenge just by being a disgusting pig, I'm gonna beat the crap out of him. AND everything else in his guts!"
Confession Cam: Harold
"I could've done that, you know. I just wasn't hungry."
Confession Cam: Leshawna
"You know what that boy has? Guts. Guts full of foam core and wax, but still."
Chef got some medicine for Owen. "Don't worry", he told him, "my mom says I've got a gut like a goat... okay nevermind, call a doctor." Chef laughed. "You're gonna need it." Chris walked up chuckling. "Yeah, but since you're the winner, you need to pick your team's trailer." Everyone went to the trailers and Owen looked at them. "I choose... the squashed one!" The guys complained. "What? It has more character." The girls cheered, but then the monster walked up and squashed the other trailer. The girls groaned.
Later that night, Chef fixed up the trailers and Chris drove up in his cart. "Okay everyone, get a good night's sleep because you've got a seriously early wake up call tomorrow. Call time is: six AM! Sleep tight!" The guys went into their trailer and split up the bunks without much fuss, but the girls had more trouble. "I need to sleep on the east side so my head will be closer to the ocean", Heather said. "That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard", Leshawna told her. "We're in Toronto, we're nowhere near the ocean." "Well, what do you suggest?" "I suggest you keep bein' nice so I don't get an urge to hit you upside the head!" Bridgette whistled. "Girls, you heard Chris, we need to be on set by six AM tomorrow. Can we just settle this peacefully?" Eva groaned. "Aww, do we have to?" "We can draw straws or something", Bridgette said. "Who's got straws?" Lindsay raised her hand. "Ooh, we can use makeup brushes instead!" She got them and handed them to Bridgette. "Longest ones get the top bunks. Shortest ones get the bottoms. Shortest of all get to sleep with Heather." Heather blushed. "Um, I think you mean bunk?" The girls picked their brushes out and paired off, leaving Heather alone. "So I get two beds all to myself?", she asked. "Sweet." Gwen facepalmed. "Yeah, we've really gotta work on our math." Then, they rested up for the next day's challenge.
