Total Drama Island: Get Your Game On!
Summary: The 22 teens return to Wawanakwa for a second season, this time competing in video-game themed challenges! Of the 22 competitors, who will emerge victorious, and who will go down in defeat? Dedicated to the Kobold Necromancer.
Season Note: Since we in America have yet to see all of Total Drama Action, this will be a "second season of TDI fic". Which means Justin is still nice, all the couples are still together, all enemies are still enemies.
Character Note: Yes, this story does contain an OC; Myself, who I have shamelessly plugged in as an OC cohost. I did this because it's my story, and I can if I want to. And if any of you don't like that, y'all can go (Bleep!) yourselfs.
This story is dedicated to the Kobold Necromancer. You rock, dude!
Day 1, Part 1: Let the Games Begin
Chris McClean stood on the Dock of Shame, flashing his pearly whites for the camera.
"Hello, viewing world!" he said, his trademark grin growing wider. "Welcome to another exciting season of Total Drama Island! I'm Chris McClean, famous host of Total Drama Island!"
" 'Infamous' would be a better word to describe you, Uncle Chris."
A sixteen-year old boy joined Chris on the dock. His long hair was wild and reached his upper back. He wore thin glasses, ratty blue jeans, black sandals, and a t-shirt that depicted Iron Maiden's mascot, Eddie the Zombie, flipping you off (which had to be blurred out, of course-BoO).
Chris's smile dropped. "And this is my nephew, Jacob. My whore of a sister dumped him on me while she's off on her 19th honeymoon." He breifly turned from the camera to talk to his nephew. "By the way, how long do you think this one will last? I give it a month."
"I think she'll be married to a different guy when she comes back from Paris," Jacob said simply, staring up at the blue sky.
"As I was saying," Chris turned back to the camera. "This season, all twenty-two original campers will be returning here to Camp Wawanakwa to compete for the grand prize of one million dollars! With that amount of cash, we're sure to see some serious drama!"
The first boat pulled up, dropping off everyone's favorite jolly giant.
"The first camper to arrive is Ow-AGH!" Chris screamed as he was wrapped in one of Owen's famous bear hugs.
"Chris McClean!" Owen screamed, hugging the host harder. "It's so awesome to be back! This whole season's gonna be awesome! Right, Chris?!"
"Right... Owen... Ack!" Chris chocked out, turning blue from lack of oxygen. "I can't... breathe...!"
"Whoops!" Owen dropped the host and chuckled in embarrassment. "Sorry." He joined Jacob at the end of the dock as Chris staggered to his feet and another boat pulled up.
"Glad that's over," Chris muttered, dusting himself off. He noticed a new camper had arrived and smiled. "The next camper his Ev-AGH!" Eva shoved Chris off the dock as she walked by. Owen and Jacob burst out laughing as Chris floundered in the water. The two offered Eva high fives, but a growl from the fitness buff made them back off.
"Aw, come on!" Chris groaned as he tried to pull himself up from the water, right as a third camper arrived. "What is this, 'Wail on Chris' day?!"
"It's 'Wail on Chris' day?" Gwen asked, a rare smile on the goth's face. "Sweet!" She raised her foot and smashed Chris's hand. The host wailed in pain and let go off the dock, falling back into the water. Jacob and Owen burst out laughing again, and Gwen returned their high fives. Eva simply nodded in approval. Chris managed to pull himself back onto the dock before the next camper arrived.
"Welcome back to camp, Ezekiel," Chris said, trying his best to look professional, which is hard when you're soaking wet with a swollen hand. Ezekiel nodded and looked at the other campers nervously. Chris noticed this and grinned. "Afraid that the girls are still mad at you?"
"A little," Zeke admitted, receiving glares from Gwen and Eva.
"Too bad!" Chris grinned wider and shoved Zeke toward the others. And unfortunately for the prairie boy, he was shoved right into the arms of one of the most dangerous females on the island.
"Uh... H-hi, Eva," Zeke said nervously. Eva growled at him, and Zeke let out an "Eep!" and darted behind Owen.
"Ten minutes in and we've already got some tension between campers," Chris said to the camera, the grin not leaving his face. "I love it!"
Another boat pulled up, delivering everyone's favorite Napoleon Dynamite parody.
"Welcome back, Harold!" Chris said, shaking the nerd's hand.
"Good to be back, Chris," Harold said. He looked around nervously. "Courtney's not here yet, is she?"
"No. Why, is she still mad at you?"
"Oh yeah," Harold nodded solemnly, before joining the other campers. Jacob patted his back.
"Don't worry, dude," he said with a smile. "I got your back." Harold returned the smile.
Romantic music could be heard as the next boat arrived. All the girls (and Owen) stared as Justin gracefully lept off the boat, his short black hair whipping in the wind...
"Good to have you back, Justin," Chris said, eagerly shaking the model's hand. Justin smiled and joined the other campers. He pulled out a dollar and handed it to Jacob, who was holding up a boom box.
"Thanks for the mood music," he said in a rare speaking moment. Jacob took the dollar and nodded.
"Anytime, dude," he said, turning off the boom box off. He noticed the next boat coming and frowned. "Speaking of mood music..." he pressed another button on the boom box. But instead of music, it played loud boo-ing and jeering.
"Hey everyone, it's Heather!" Chris said as the queen bee stepped off the boat, adjusting her wig. Jacob turned up the volume on his boom box, and the other campers joined in with the boo-ing and jeering.
"Get bent, you immature dweebs," Heather snapped, crossing her arms and turning away from the others. Jacob's boom box hit her on the back of the head, knocking her into the water.
"Nice shot, Gwen," Harold remarked. Gwen smiled proudly while everyone else laughed at Heather's expense.
LeShawna was next to arrive. "What's up, y'all? LeShawna's in the house!" The sister exchanged a fist bump with Gwen and Owen. When she saw Harold, she wrapped her arms around him and lifted the lanky nerd off his feet, giving him a big kiss. Heather managed to pull herself onto the dock as this happened.
"Oh, great," she groaned. "The big-mouth, fatass, ghetto punk is here!"
The others gasped. LeShawna stopped kissing Harold and glared at Heather. Surprisingly, there was no snappy comeback. Instead, LeShawna snatched Heather's wig right off her head and threw it in the lake.
"My wig!" Heather screamed, jumping in after it. For the second time in less then a minute, everyone laughed at Heather's expense.
"EEEEEEEEEEEE!!" The squealing of two girls could be heard as the next boat pulled up.
"Katie, Sadie," Chris greeted with a smile, though his hands were covering his ears. The girls squealed as they lept off the boat, and squealed when they saw Justin. They ran towards him and hugged his muscular arms.
"Omigosh, he is so handsome, Katie!" Sadie said.
"So handsome!" Katie agreed.
"Girls, girls!" Justin said with a chuckle, pulling away from the wonder twins. "Relax, there's plenty of me to go around!" He flexed his muscles, making the girls (and Owen) swoon.
As Chris watched this scene unfold, he heard growling coming from behind him. He turned to see Noah, glaring at the male model.
"Keep it up, Anti-Me," Noah muttered, still glaring as he joined the others, who had yet to notice him. "One day, your narcissism will be your downfall."
"Anyways..." Chris said, wanting the camera back on himself as a new boat pulled up. "Next up is... Uh..." he didn't announce the next person to arrive, because there seemed to be no one on the boat. Heather, who had finally retrieved her wig and climbed back onto the dock, noticed this dilemma.
"I think I know who it is," Heather said, before she yelled; "Hey you two! Stop sucking face and get down here!"
Bridgette and Geoff popped up, their clothes and hair messy, and Geoff's hat on Bridgette's head. Both flustered with embarrassment as some of the others laughed at them. The pair hopped off and joined the others. Gwen sighed, looking downtrodden.
"You miss Trent, girl?" LeShawna asked, noticing that Gwen was upset.
"Yeah," Gwen admitted, looking down at the dock. "I wish Trent would get here soon."
"Ask and you shall receive, my dear Gwen," a familiar voice said. Gwen looked up, and a pair of lips connected with hers. Gwen was startled at first, then melted into the kiss as Trent wrapped his arms around her.
A few people "Awwed!" at this. Wanting to join in on the fun, Bridgette and Geoff started kissing again, followed by LeShawna and Harold.
"Ahh, young love," Chris mused.
"Gag me," Heather said with a roll of the eyes.
"Oh, come on. Don't be like that, Heather." A friendly voice said. The two turned to see the recently-arrived DJ, holding his pet bunny, Bunny, in his arms.
"Awwww!" Katie and Sadie said, taking their eyes off Justin for the first time, running over to DJ, or more specifically, Bunny.
"He's so adorable!" Katie cooed, petting bunny.
"So adorable!" Saide agreed, also petting the happy rabbit.
The three girls and DJ joined the others as the next boat pulled up. Duncan hopped off, wearing his usual scowl.
"Welcome back, Dunc-AAANN!" Chris yelled as he was shoved off the dock for the second time. The campers laughed as Duncan smirked.
"Oh, come on!" Chris groaned as he tried to pull himself back onto the dock, right as another boat pulled up. "I was just starting to dry off!"
Lindsay stepped off the boat, cheerfully waving at everyone. When she noticed Chris, she became concerned. "Do you need some help, Carl?" She asked.
"No thanks, I'm good," Chris said as he pulled himself up, shaking off the excess water. "And it's Chris!"
"Then who's Carl?" Lindsay asked, looking very confused, as usual. Chris, Jacob, and several other contestants face-palmed.
"Why are the pretty ones always so dumb?" Jacob asked himself as Lindsay joined her fellow campers.
Beth was dropped off next, smiling widely.
"Welcome back, Beth," Chris said, before he noticed her smile. "Say, did you..."
"Yup!" Beth said cheerfully, showing off her bright, brace-less teeth. "I finally got those stupid braces off! I can finally talk without that freakin' lisp!"
"Congratulations," Heather said sarcastically. "You managed to knock a single point off your ugly rating." Heather was forcefully shoved off the dock by both Gwen and LeShawna.
The next boat pulled up, dropping off the ladies' man himself, Cody.
"What's up, Code-meister?" Chris asked, exchanging a high five with the tech geek. "Have any luck on the girlfriend front?"
" 'Fraid not," Cody admitted, rubbing the back of his head awkwardly.
"Think you'll have any luck this season?"
"I think I have a shot," Cody said, giving all the ladies a sly grin (or, at least he thought it was sly). Some of the girls couldn't help but giggle, while others (Heather and Eva) rolled their eyes.
The next boat was coming up rather fast. Behind it was Tyler on water skis.
"Oh, boy," Duncan groaned. "Better have an ambulance standing by!"
Surprisingly, Tyler didn't lose his footing and go flying, like a last season. Instead, he hit a conveniently-placed ramp and went soaring gracefully though the air. All the contestants "Oooohhed" at this impressive display.
"Well, well, well," Chris said with an amused chuckle, as he followed Tyler's path through the air. "Looks like someone's gotten better-"
Crash!
Tyler crashed into the dock, face-first. The others "Oooohhed" again, but this time, it wasn't a "Wow, that's amazing!" ooh, it was an "Ouch, that had to hurt!" ooh.
"Uh, never mind," Chris added.
"Omigosh, Taylor!" Lindsay screamed, running over to aid her boyfriend. She picked him up and shook his shoulders. The jock looked dazed. "Taylor, are you okay?! Speak to me!"
"But mommy, I don't want to go to shkool today!" Tyler whined, still dazed and confused. He latched onto Lindsay, who was confused by what Tyler called her. "I want to shtay home and bake cookies with you!"
"Eh, he's fine," Chris muttered, right as the next boat pulled up. "Next up is Courtney!"
The C.I.T. jumped off the boat, glaring at a certain glasses-wearing nerd. She pointed an accusing finger at him and said in anger, "YOU!"
Harold let out an "Eep!" and ran into the campgrounds, Courtney chasing after him.
"C'mon, Courtney!" Harold whined as he pumped his skinny nerd legs. "I already said I was sorry! Can't you give me another chance?!"
"Oh, I'll give you a chance, alright!" Courtney screeched. "When I throw you off the 1000 foot cliff, I won't aim for the sharpest rock!"
"Oh, no no no!" LeShawna said, chasing after Courtney. "You lay one finder on my man and I'll rip that big mouth off you and shove it up your scrawny ass!"
"Hey!" Duncan said, chasing LeShawna. "You touch Courtney and I'll rearrange your face, ghetto trash!"
Izzy, who had just arrived, grinned madly as she watched the scene unfold. "Cool, is this a chase scene?!" She asked, her trademark grin growing bigger. "I love chase scenes!" She cackled and joined in, chasing after Duncan, who was still threatening LeShawna, who was threatening Courtney, who was threatening Harold, who was trying to apologize to Courtney.
Chris gave a sharp whistle, and all five stopped the chasing. "Enough!" he said. "As much as I love watching you guys kill each other, you need to save it for the challenges! Now, meet me in the mess hall so I can explain how this season will work.
Confessional Cam - Woohoo, first appearance!
Gwen: Wow, this place is somehow crappier then it was a few months ago. Still, it's nice to see Trent again. (she blushes and smiles)
Courtney: Harold had better watch it! (she punches her palm) He cost me victory last season, and now he's gonna pay!
Harold: What does it take to get Courtney to forgive me?! Gosh! I've apologized to her a thousand times already! (he sighs)
Bridgette and Geoff: (they are making out)
The twenty-two campers had gathered in the mess hall, sitting at their team tables from last season. Chris stood on his podium, a large curtain behind him, and Jacob next to him.
"Welcome to another exciting season of Total Drama Island!" Chris said, throwing his arms up as if to celebrate. No one shared his enthusiasm. "This season-
Roar!
Chef Hatchet was thrown out the kitchen door, hitting the opposite wall. A large tentacle came bursting out after him, and a menacing growl was heard. The host, cohost, and campers screamed in terror.
"Holy moly, eh!" Ezekiel screamed, clinging to Eva (who was too freaked out to care). "What is that?!"
"That's your dinner, maggots!" Chef snarled, pulling out a cleaver. He gave a battle cry and tackled the tentacle, knocking it back into the kitchen. Sounds of struggle were heard as the campers stared.
"Anyways..." Chris said, getting back on track. "This season, you'll all be competing for the grand prize of a million big ones! It'll work like last season, with two teams competing every three days in intense challenges. The winners receive a reward. The losers send one of their own down the Dock of Shame. When we're down to enough campers, the game will become a free-for-all."
"Now, this season is going to be special," Jacob said, sharing his uncle's grin. "For you see, this season's official name is Total Drama Island: Get Your Game On! The reason for this is that you'll all be competing in video-game themed challenges!"
Some of the contestants (Cody, Noah, and Harold) looked thrilled. Others looked mortified (Heather and Courtney). Others looked indifferent.
"To compete in these unique challenges," Chris continued, walking over to the rope connected to the curtain. "You'll be using this baby!" He yanked the rope, and the curtain pulled back. The campers were faced with a strange machine. It's main component was a large machine with a big screen, a keyboard and microphone beneath it. Connected to it were several glass pods, with goggles, headphones, boots, and gloves sitting inside, hooked up to wires.
Harold, Cody, and Noah gasped. Everyone else looked unimpressed or confused.
"Is... Is that... ?" Harold asked, raising a shaking finger to point at the machine. You could see the sparkle in his eyes.
"Yep!" Jacob said, tapping one of the glass pods. "It's the V-Reality Computer 8000, the world's greatest virtual reality breakthrough!"
"It's... It's beautiful..." Cody said, getting up to get a closer look, which Noah and Harold did as well. "If this machine were a woman, I would marry her."
"And I would jeopardize our friendship by have sex with your hot wife," Noah said, staring at the machine with equal joy.
"For those of you who don't know," Jacob said to the other nineteen campers. "Virtual reality is the science of amercing yourself in a computerized environment. In this environment, you can't get hurt, and you can do incredible things. Psychologists have recently been using VR to help patients overcome fears in a virtual environment, which prepares them to face their fears in the real world."
"But rather then hearing about virtual reality," Chris interjected, walking over and turning on the machine. "I think the campers would like to see a demonstration." He pressed some keys on the keyboard, and the pod closest to him opened up. "Jacob, if you would be so kind..."
Jacob stepped into the pod, and it closed behind him. He put on the boots, then the gloves, then the headphones, and then the goggles. Chris pressed another button, and the bottom of Jacob's pod began glowing white. The computer screen flickered to like, revealing a pure white screen. A shape materialized on screen, and it formed into Jacob.
"Hi, everyone," he said, waving at the screen. The other contestants gathered around Chris to watch.
"I've got a camera programmed into the environment, so he knows where to look to talk to us," Chris explained. He spoke into the microphone. "Hey Jacob, show everyone how you move around."
Everyone looked over to Jacob in the pod. He was moving his legs and swinging his arms. On screen, Jacob was walking forward, swinging his arms. In the pod, Jacob jumped. On screen, Jacob jumped.
"Impressive, isn't it?" Chris asked with a chuckle. He typed something into the computer. On screen, an environment began to materialize around Jacob, and he was suddenly standing in a forest. "I've got hundreds of environments programmed into the computer. From the woods..." he typed in something else, and the forest environment disappeared, and a beach setting appeared. "... To a beach..." he typed in something else, and Jacob was standing on a golf course. ".. To a golf course! And I can also alter the characters on screen! Watch!" He typed in something else, and Jacob's entire body vanished, leaving only his head. Jacob's body reappeared, now dressed in golfing clothes, holding a golf club. A golf ball appeared at his feet.
"Hey, Caddyshack!" Jacob said with a smile, raising the club and hitting the ball off screen. "Na-na-na-na-na-na!"
Chris could tell that the campers, even Courtney and Heather, were impressed. He chuckled evilly. "If you think that's something, watch this!" He started typing, and Jacob's body disappeared again, leaving only his face this time. Flower petals appeared around his face, a purple dog body formed from his neck down, and his tail stood strait up, with the Canadian flag attached.
The campers stared at him, then burst out laughing. Jacob heard this and grimaced.
"Oh crap, what did he do to me?" He asked with a scowl. A mirror materialized next to him. He looked at himself, then glared at Chris, crossing his arms. "I am not amused!"
"Ha ha ha!" Chris joined in the laughter. "Ain't I a stinker? Hehe! (1) Okay, time to come out!" He turned the machine off, and the screen went dark. Jacob's pod opened up, and he stepped out after removing the boots, gloves, and headgear.
Confessional Cam - Hahaha! Stolen Jokes! Hahaha!
Cody: YES!!! (he pumps his fist in the air) This is great! Virtual reality is every game nerd's dream, and now the entire season's going to be based around it! (he does an air guitar) This contest is mine!
Noah: (he smiles confidently) This is perfect. I spend most of my free time at home playing video games. In Call of Duty, I can snipe a moving target from 300 yards. I can own the Elite Four in Pokemon, and my gnome warrior is at level 80 on Warcraft (2). (he crosses his arms) This contest is mine.
Harold: (he pushes his glasses up against the bridge of his nose) I've got lots of mad skills, but video games are something I truly excel at. Couldn't exactly join a sports team or club, so I had to find something to do with my time. (he smiles) This contest is mine!
Heather: (she face-palms) Ugh! I cannot believe Chris is going to base the entire season on something as pointless and lame as video games! (she sighs) Still, with that much cash on the line, I guess I shouldn't be complaining.
"Alright, listen up," Chris said, climbing back onto his podium and pulling out a clipboard. "When I call your name, come stand on my left side. Cody, Tyler, Beth, Katie, LeShawna, Trent, Harold, Sadie ("EEEEEEEE!!!" the BFFs cheered.), Justin ("EEEEEEEEE!!!" the BFFs cheered again), Gwen, and Izzy." The eleven teens stood on Chris's left side. He tossed them a rolled-up red banner, which was caught by Cody. "From now on, you guys will be known as..." Cody unrolled the banner. In the middle was a white circle, and within the circle was a red silhouette of a certain iconic plumber. "Team Mario!"
"Yes!" Cody and Harold cheered, pumping their fists in the air. "Team Mario, awesome!"
"That means the rest of you..." Chris began, turning to the other eleven campers. "Noah, Courtney, Duncan, DJ, Geoff, Bridgette, Lindsay, Owen, Eva, Ezekiel, and Heather." He tossed them a rolled-up green banner, which was caught by Noah. "You guys are now..." Noah unrolled the banner. In the middle was a white circle, and within the white circle was a green silhouette of a certain iconic plumber's brother. "Team Luigi!"
"Sweet," Noah said, smirking his famous smirk.
"Alrighty then," Chris turned on the VRC 8000 again. "Would you all kindly step into the pods, so we can begin the first challenge?"
The twenty-two teens entered their own pods, putting on the gear. Chris activated all the pods, and the screen flickered to life...
In the virtual world... (3)
Cody found himself in a world of nothing. All around him, their was nothing but endless white. He looked down, and saw nothing but white. He could feel that he was standing on a solid surface, he just couldn't see it...
A floating camera floated up to Cody. Must be the camera Chris mentioned earlier, the tech geek thought.
"Campers!" Chris's overly cheerful voice boomed. It sounded like it was coming from everywhere. "Welcome to your first challenge here on Total Drama Island: Get Your Game On! Don't worry about not seeing your teammates; their just so far away that you can't see them. Anyways, for you first challenge, I thought I would give you something easy..." an environment began to form around Cody. Within seconds, he found himself in a strangely familiar abandoned shopping mall. "But then I decided that it would be a lot more fun if I gave you something totally brutal!" Dozens of shapes appeared around Cody. As they began to take form, Cody's heart began to race as a thought occurred to him.
Oh, no way! he thought, starting to freak out as the shapes began to look recognizable. There's no way Chris would put us in that game!... Right?
In seconds, the forms had taken complete shape. And Cody's suspicion had been confirmed. The tech geek found himself surrounded by hundreds of zombies.
"Welcome to Dead Rising!" Chris proclaimed.
To Be Continued...
(1) A classic Bugs Bunny gag, for those who don't remember the old cartoons.
(2) Kobold, if you're reading this, yes, that was a reference to your Warcraft character. You rock, dude!
(3) Like transitions to the Confessional Cam, I'll use these transitions to separate virtual reality from actual reality.
Mwah ha ha ha! You thought the campers would get off easy for the first challenge, didn't you? Ha ha ha! WRONG! Next chapter, the challenge begins, and will feature humans killing zombies, humans killing humans, and a Star Wars parody! Stick around!
Also, if you don't know what Dead Rising is, Google it, or wait for the next chapter, where Chris will explain it.
Peace out!
