Author's Note: This story's structure is based on a video game series. Because of this, there are many potential choices that will not be published in the story. For this reason, there are three uses of reviews for this story: the first is the standard; giving feedback. The other two can also be discussed in the PMs, and they are "Please Send Me Goodies" and Q&A.
"Please Send Me Goodies" function: At the end of each chapter there will be an author's note detailing some extras that I can send to anyone who asks for them. You may shop from the list, or ask me to send you everything for the chapter. You may also subscribe to any specific one of them, which will mean that I will send you those goodies after every chapter they are available.
Q&A: I am well aware that many of the people in this fandom have not played Fire Emblem and may find themselves confused. Don't worry. If you are confused by something, send me a question and I will explain it to the best of my ability. By the way, a "vulnerary" is the standard unit of medicine.
Total Drama Emblem
Prologue: Awakening
Chris McLean was one of the most influential men in Canada. He was famous and wealthy, but also very evil. One day, by complete accident, he stumbled upon an item that granted him enough power to take over the world. The world run by Chris was desolate and dark. There was only one group that could stand up to him; those whom he had tormented before. After the turn, they began training in order to restore the world to its former glory, all except for Courtney.
Courtney had spent the last few weeks in a coma, because she dared to attack Chris when her power was low. She had intended to stop him before he grabbed the item, but she was too late. She had not learned that the world had been taken over, so when she woke up, she was in for quite a shock.
She looked around her, and saw that she was in the middle of a field. She stood up, and noticed that everything around her was quiet. "What… what's going on?" she asked in a panicked state.
Chris looked at Courtney and said, "Well, what happened was… the world is mine." He laughed.
Courtney said, "No! It can't be."
"Oh but it is!" Chris said. Then he fled, shouting, "See ya, Courtney!"
"The world… is his…" Courtney said, not quite believing it herself. She slumped over.
A new intern, who was just starting to work for Chris, appeared. He was carrying a satchel and an axe. The satchel contained a book, a bow, some arrows, and a vulnerary. He told Courtney, "Bridgette left this here for you," and handed her the bag.
"Bridgette?" Courtney asked, "Is she okay?"
"That's not important right now," the new intern said, swinging his axe around, "Anyway, Chris told me to stop you from doing anything funny."
Courtney equipped her bow, and then said, "Not if I have anything to say about it."
She approached the new intern, and the new intern approached her.
Courtney asked, "What is going on here?"
The new intern responded, "Don't worry about it, Courtney. Chris isn't the worst overlord in the world."
"Yes, he is!" Courtney corrected.
"If you think so," the new intern warned, "Then you have to fight me."
She shot him with an arrow. He got closer to her, and swung his axe in her general direction, but she dodged the attack. She opened the book, and managed to cast a spell, which caused a ray of light to hit the new intern. He hit her with his axe, which wounded her. Her light hit the new intern again, which caused him to drop dead.
He said as he fell, "Such force… maybe you're right."
"Oh my god," Courtney said, "I just killed a man." From weakness of heart and body, Courtney fell back down.
"Courtney?" someone asked. "Courtney?"
It was Alejandro, who was now riding on a steed. He picked Courtney up and carried her out of the vicinity.
