New Season

It is evening again in the city of Toronto. For most people, it was just another regular day where they do their daily routines: work, eat, play and sleep. But to a certain host living in a luxurious penthouse, this is a day he revealed something special.

"The producers want you to host another season" the ex-military man turned cook Chef Hatchet said to his best friend whilst cooking barbecue for both of them, wearing the same indifferent expression he has since the first season.

"Y~up! Actually they gave me the contract just a month ago" the ever-casual host of Total Drama confirmed as he continued to rest in the lounge chair beside the grill, wearing nothing but swimming trunks.

It's been six months since Pakihtew Island ended, everybody returned to their normal lives. The Host with the Most has since been longing to be able to torment them all again when he received the call.

"And why didn't you inform me until now?" Chef asked with a frown, clearly disappointed that his friend hid this information from him.

"Well… I wanted it to be a surprise" Chris' immediate reasoning replaced his friend's current expression with a satisfied smirk.

The cook refocused his attention back to the grill "So when does it start?"

"Sunday of the next month" Chris replied before taking a drink.

"Who's competing?" the first batch of finished barbecues has been placed on a plate

"The producers wanted this season to be special so~~~ they decided to bring back all previous contestants"

"Really!" Chef replied, shock evident in his face along "That's about… 52 contestants"

"Oho-ye~ah!" Chris sits up with an excited grin "It's gonna be the biggest season yet. Plus we have 22 newcomers thrown into the mix as well" this shocked Chef even more.

"Then that makes it 74"

"Which means more campers to terrorized" Chris gave a short summary before drinking again "To make things more interesting, it's not going to take place on an island" Chef was about to speak but Chris raised his hand "and neither any place"

The cook raised an eyebrow "So where?"

Instead of replying, Chris just pointed his finger to the sky. Looking up, Chef could only gasp in amazement as he finally got the answer.

From what the ex-military man remembered, some european trillionaire announced to the media his sponsorship for the construction of the world's first space habitat a few months ago. Many people, especially the G20 leaders, voiced their criticism that such project is not only impractical, but also very expensive and time consuming. The trillionaire continued otherwise, using his very powerful industry as the tool of his endeavour. Months later, the space habitat has been completed.

And it was the one Chef is looking at.

"Y-You're not saying that" Chef stammered upon returning his gaze back to Chris.

"Oh-I am" the host gave his friend a smug look "Apparently the trillionaire is an avid fan of Total Drama to the point that he approached the producers to become its benefactor" he paused "Then they struck a deal to set the next season there to give it much more recognition"

"I'm excited" the cook admitted with a big anticipating smile "I can finally fulfill my childhood dream - going to space"

"So am I! My friend" Chris gave the same admission "By the way, the contestants don't know about this, I told them that we'll just compete in another crappy island, which is actually the Canadian government's disguised spaceport we're going to use to get up there"

Chef began chuckling "That'll be a good twist"

"Also, with the trillionaire's aid, the producers raised the prize money. The contestants won't be competing for one million dollars anymore; they'll be competing for ONE BILLION DOLLARS"

"WHOA!" Chef was so surprised that he nearly dropped the second batch of barbecues.

"Which means a more intense competition" Chris watched as Chef placed the third batch to the grill before he remembered something "Speaking of intense… I recall that Cody asked you to 'toughen' him up"

"Yeah he did" Chef replied nonchalantly yet his positive expression visibly disappeared

"Do you have any idea why would he make that kind of decision?" Chris' inquiry caused Chef to narrow his eyes.

"I was driving over a meadow when I found him; lying on the ground… barely conscious and severely beaten, he suffered bruises all over his body, even burns. I took pity and took him to the nearest hospital I can find before informing his parents, who were equally horrified as I am. A few days after the doctor's let him out, he went to my house, asking me to train him so he wouldn't be weak anymore. I tried asking who did 'that' to him but he just kept his mouth shut, so I just gave up and trained him"

"Wow…" instead of pity, Chris wore an unsympathetic smile instead "The kid's been through a lot"

"Yeah" Chef admitted "Whoever did that was very sick, Cody would have died if it weren't for me"

Thirty-minutes later, all barbecues are grilled and ready to be eaten.

"A toast!" Chris raised his glass of soda, prompting Chef to do the same.

"TO THE NEW SEASON" Both men cheered as they clanged their glasses before gulping it to the last drop.

Chef looked at the host "I forgot to ask… What are they calling it?"

Chris just smiled "Total… Drama… Apogee"

AN: That's it for the prologue everyone, I hope this'll be a good impression because this is my first Total Drama fic, just watched all seasons last month and i am really hoping for another.

'~' - this refers to the trailing off or accentuation of the last syllable. So instead of 'Nooooooooooo' we simplify it into 'No~~'. One '~' means it lasts for a single second.

As you have read, I am accepting OCs. I only need 14 since I already have 8 of my own and the one is Brady (Beth's BF). OCs must be submitted on PM's only; I will never accept those sent on reviews.

Here's my OCs:

Wilbur "Waffle" Milton "The Silly Imbecile"

Victoria Emeralds "The Gothic Beauty"

Selina Corpora "The Hot Chick"

The ones below are the main antagonists of this fic. They are of different nationalities that are given after their names:

Damian Balor "The Heartless Mastermind" – British.

Lukas Kliesen "The Lone Wolf" – German.

Julien Rousseau "The Evil Genius" – French.

Elias Acosta "The Harsh Giant" – Spanish.

Hiro "Raiden" Kirigaya "The Supersonic Marksman" – Japanese.

For appearances, MiguelAmshelo's following artworks in Deviantart could serve as a basis for your character's body figure (Head, torso and legs): Total Drama~Boy Base andTotal Drama~Girl Base (Hyperlinks on my Profile) figures are numbered from left to right. Voice actors are required for the OCs to be more realistic.

Example for the body figure: Head 1, Torso 2, Legs 8

The reason for this is that OCs are very difficult to visualize, even with a given description there are still missing components.

Without further ado here are the given descriptions:

Name and Label:

Personality:

Clothes:

Hobbies:

Appearance:

Skin tone:

Interesting Note/s:

Voice Actor:

Here's an example with the antagonist Damian Balor:

Name and Label: Damian Balor "The Heartless Mastermind"

Personality: Calm, Manipulative, Perceptive, Cruel, Merciless, Exploitive

Clothes: A black unzipped hoodie with red trim revealing a same-colored T-shirt. Black pants and rubber shoes of the same color with red a secondary color.

Hobbies: Observing the surroundings, psychologically tormenting other contestants.

Appearance: Head 7, Torso 1, Legs 7. black shaggy hair similar to Ben 10 in both Alien Force and Ultimate Alien. Red colored eyes

Skin tone: Very Light (can be considered near-pale)

Interesting Note/s: Rumored to possess supernatural abilities.

Voice Actor: Greg Ellis; Squire from Ben 10: Alien Force.

I am in need of voice actors for my OCs with the exception of Damian and Wilbur. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Chapters are placed in three categories and will be published in order:

Abstract – The upcoming chapter's summary, basically this is the bolded paragraph you when you view an episode in the wiki itself. I turned summaries into stand-alone chapters in order to promote more suspense to all readers, in which you would post several theories and other ideas on the reviews.

Episode – This is the actual episode, challenges and eliminations takes place here. These chapters' are Chris' only appearance, Chef couldn't leave because no one would serve food to the contestants.

Interval – As you have read in the wiki, challenges happen only once per three days. This kind of chapter covers the 'vacant' days of the contestants, where they relax after enduring Chris' ridiculously harsh challenges and do other stuff. This features a lot more interactions between contestants than the Episode chapter.

Since this just the prologue, the next chapter would be an Abstract.

Before I finish, this fic will feature a CodyxDawn pairing because I ship it. Those two are a perfect match for each other; both are good-hearted and compassionate. Well, the relationship would not be easy considering the presence of an uber-fan.

See you all soon!
