Disclaimer: This is the edited version of the first chapter. I fixed the errors in this. I've also thought about what challenges to do. I want to be able to do all of the suggested challenges I got (which I plan to do). I think the next one might be the first one I was suggested, but I plan to do all of the suggested ones, just at different times. Thank you for reading and I apologize for the horrible quotation errors. I'll be sure to start getting into what the contestants think about each other and their challenges because I was told that I should do more of that and less dialogue. More character development is what I'm gonna try to do.
Chapter 1: Welcoming Party
"Welcome audience to another season of Total Drama!" said an enthusiastic Chris. "With the smashing success of Pahkitew Island, I decided to immediately begin a new season, and since Pahkitew Island didn't blow up, why not reuse it?" "I've selected 22 contestants from all the contestants we've had and put them on this cruddy island." "They would normally not do this again, but the allure of one million dollars and the fact that they're still under contract says otherwise." "But enough talk; let's begin the next season right here on TOTAL…DRAMA…REDUX!"
[Opening Theme]
"Welcome to Total Drama Redux, I quickly want to say that I guarantee that this season is going to be the most dangerous season of…" said Chris. He was interrupted by a call from his cell phone. He talked for about 10 seconds and when he got off the phone, he looked dissatisfied.
"The producers say that these dangers have to be legal, but they barely watch the show, so what they don't know won't hurt them!" he said cheerfully. "Now let's see who are contestants are!"
[On Chris's New Zeppelin]
"Hey Dave." said Sky.
"Oh hey Sky." said an angry Dave. Sky took a seat right next to him.
"Are you still mad about the finale?" she asked.
"Well gee I don't know, how would you react to finding out that the girl you've been fighting for this entire season was taken?" he said sarcastically.
"Look, I'm really sorry about that, I wanted to tell you sooner." she said.
"Just forget it…where are we going anyway?" he asked.
"I don't know." she said with a sigh. Shortly after she said that, the door went barging open and more people were shoved into the gondola. Seven of these people Dave and Sky recognized.
"Oh why hello my friends!" said Ella cheerfully.
"Hi Ella, do you know where they're taking us?" asked Sky. But before she could answer…
"One can clearly guess from observations that we're most likely being taken somewhere we're all too familiar with." said Scarlett. Some of the contestants gasped upon hearing and seeing Scarlett.
"What're you doing here, you're a psycho and you threatened to kill all of us if you didn't get the million!" yelled Sky.
"You don't have anything to worry about Sky; I've changed for the better. I saw the error of my ways and how childish it was, you needn't worry about that ever happening again." she said. Sky gave her a dirty look but knew not to cause a scene on the zeppelin.
"If I use a foreseeing spell, then I will know where we're going." said Leonard. He pulled out his trusty spell book and begun to search for a spell.
"Ugh, why is Samey here, I don't want her here." said Amy angrily.
"Amy stop it, you're always making scenes out of everything." said Samey.
"I want to do this one, leading unsuspecting teens to some random place, just like Chris…that sounded better in my head." said Topher as he noticed that everyone gave him a weird look. Sky wasn't very much interested in hearing all this, so she began to walk over to Shawn, who happened to be sitting in the corner by himself.
"So Shawn, what are you gonna do with your million?" asked Sky.
"I've already split the money with Jasmine; I owe it to her for everything she's done for me last season. She's already starting to build her flower/cage fighting shop back in Australia. As for me, I have to cut back a little on my zombie bunker, but if I win here, hey I'll have even more money to put into that." said Shawn. As soon as he finished saying this, the door swung open and more people were shoved in.
"Who are you guys?" asked Dave.
"Brick, reporting for duty." he said.
"Sha-bam, Lightning strikes again!" he yelled.
"Your name is Lightning?" snickered Dave.
"Watch it pipsqueak, I could easily snap you in half." said Lightning.
"I bet Chris has something to do with this." said an angry Jo.
Mike didn't say anything; he just got up and took a seat.
"Hello Mike." said Dawn. Mike jumped out of his seat a little.
"Oh hi Dawn, you scared me a little." said Mike.
"I sense a clear aura from you, you got control of your personalities?" she asked.
"Oh yeah during All Stars… Zoey, Cameron, and Gwen didn't want to do another season of Total Drama, so it's just me here." As he finished saying this, the last of the people were thrown into the gondola. Chris soon walked in.
"Welcome all!" said Chris.
"See, what did I tell you, what do you want Chris?" said Jo.
"Well I'm glad you asked, because if you haven't noticed yet, I've brought contestants from just about every season of Total Drama." said Chris.
"No…you couldn't possibly be doing that." said Dave.
"Oh but it is, another season of Total Drama!" said Chris happily.
All the contestants groaned (all except one of them).
"Well I'm certainly glad to be back." said Courtney. Chris gave her a very angry look.
"You're only back because I can't afford another lawsuit." said Chris.
""The power of the legal system never fails me." said a cheerful Courtney.
"Yeah." said an irritated Chris. "Anyway, you 21 contestants and Courtney have been chosen to participate in the next season of Total Drama, down there on Pahkitew Island!"
"It can't be worse than Camp Wawanakwa." said Trent.
"Oh Trent, this island is much worse and much smellier than Wawanakwa." said Chris. The original 8 contestants and 5 contestants from Revenge of the Island groaned.
"Wow Chris, you must really enjoy having us on." said a sarcastic Noah. No one listened.
"So…you two are athletes huh, yeah I'm an athlete myself." said a very arrogant Tyler.
"Sha-what, you an athlete?" said Lightning?
"You want to prove it?" said Jo. Tyler hesitated.
"Oh sure… but not right now." said a reluctant Tyler.
"My question is who let crazy girl back in, she should be in an asylum." said Heather as she pointed to Izzy.
"There's someone crazier than Shawn?" asked Dave.
"Hey." said Shawn.
"So, are you ready to get to the island?" said Chris.
"Oh you know it Chris." said Topher.
"Watch it Topher, I'm still angry with you trying to steal my job, you try that stunt again and I will personally send you off. Now are you all ready?" asked Chris as he was putting on a parachute.
"Chris, why are you putting a parachute on?" asked Bridgette.
"This is why…Chef, you can stop flying this thing now." said Chris with a wicked smile. As he said this Chef came in with his parachute. "See you guys at the bottom…if you live that is!" he yelled. Then they jumped out of the zeppelin.
"Oh no, not again!" yelled Dave.
"Where are the parachutes!?" yelled Sky.
"Over there!" yelled Shawn as he pointed to a crate. Everyone then began to hurry to them. They quickly hurried to jump out of the zeppelin. Some of the contestants landed on the beach and others into the water. Tyler had the misfortune of landing face first into the water.
"Ooo, that's gonna leave a mark." said Chris to Chef.
"Chris, you really should be more original." said Topher.
"Shut up Topher." said Chris. He then turned around to see Dawn and Ella completely unscathed.
"But…how…I mean...but how?" said a stuttering Chris.
"The birds came to me after seeing me falling to my death. I sang to them and they helped me down to the ground." said Ella. She then began to start a song about how she came down safely.
"Stop, no singing, there's no need to sing." said a now annoyed Chris. "And what about you Dawn." he asked. She just shrugged.
"Okay then, well all of you that landed on the ground will be the first team, everyone who landed in the water… and in the case of Tyler completely going face first into the water will be the second team. Ella, Dawn, Courtney, Mike, heather, Bridgette, Leonard, Shawn, Brick, Harold, and Scarlett, you will be the Screaming Maggots. Noah, Tyler, Jo, lightning, Dave, Sky, Topher, Samey, Amy, Izzy, and Trent, you will be the Killer Rats." he said.
"Gee Chris, I wonder where you came up with those names?" said Noah sarcastically.
"No appreciation at all…now get out of the water and get with you team here." said Chris. They quickly swam out of the water.
"Are you ready for the first challenge?" asked Chris. The contestants let out a groan.
"That's the spirit, now all you have to do for this challenge is find a key." said Chris.
"Simple enough." said Tyler.
"You wish it was that easy, but there are over a hundred keys laid out across the island, I'm not going to tell you what it looks like so you'll have to bring me as many as you can find, but if you bring the right one, your team wins immunity and a reward. The losers will be faced with elimination. You will have one hour to do all this, come to the other side of the island once you have acquired a key. Now go!" he yelled. He pulled out his blow horn and pressed it so it would make a sound.
[Screaming Maggots]
"So you're a wizard huh?" asked Harold.
"Yup, I have my book of spells right here, and this is my magic wand." said Leonard as they started walking into the forest.
"I think we should split up." said Courtney.
"What makes you say that." asked Mike.
"If we split up, we maximize our chances of finding more keys, which is obviously more efficient than staying in one large group." said Scarlett.
"You do have a point, so who are the groups gonna be?" asked Bridgette.
"I can take Brick and Shawn." said Mike.
"Urgh." said Shawn nervously.
"Is something wrong there?" asked Brick.
(Confessional)
"Look I know there's safety in numbers in a zombie apocalypse, but these two are complete strangers to me…how do I know if they haven't already been bitten?" – Shawn
(End of Confessional)
"Oh no nothing wrong." said a nervous Shawn.
"I can go with Heather." said Scarlett. Everyone gave a shocked face, even Heather did.
"Scarlett is it, are you sure you want to do that?" asked Bridgette.
"It's fine." said Scarlett.
(Confessional)
"I've heard all about the things that Heather has caused and such…, certainly nothing that compares to what I've done." – Scarlett
(End of Confessional)
"I'll go with the wizard." said Harold. No one seemed to care.
"Let us be off!" yelled Leonard. They both ran off into the woods.
"Dawn, would you care to join?" asked Ella.
"I'd love to." she replied. Then they began to leave.
"Well that just leaves you and me Bridgette." said Courtney.
"Well that won't be so bad." Bridgette said. They were the last two to leave.
[Killer Rats]
"Alright guys, so I think that we should split up into small groups." said Topher.
"No one orders Lightning around sha-bam!" he yelled.
"Yeah who died and made you leader?" said Jo.
"Yeah because we're gonna start taking orders from someone who idolizes Chris." said Noah sarcastically.
"Hey guys, don't be so hard on him." said Trent.
"Whatever." said Amy.
"Stop being so mean, you always do this to people." said Samey.
"You're only a follower, your views mean nothing." said Amy.
"Whoa guys, we're a team…we can't start fighting now, come on we can do this." said Sky.
"Hey I think I see a key I think." said Izzy. She then ran off into the forest by herself.
(Confessional)
"We're doomed." – Sky
(End of Confessional)
"Oh no, Lightning ain't gonna be beat by a crazy girl sha-bam!" he said.
"Oh you aren't gonna beat me!" said Jo. They both then ran into the forest as quickly as they could.
"Hey…wait up guys!" said Tyler. He then began to run after them.
"Come on Samey, I need someone to get these keys, and it isn't gonna be me." said Amy.
"Ugh, alright." said Samey.
"Topher, Noah, let's go." said Trent.
"Hold on a minute…no bars…alright let's go." said Topher as he put his phone away. Trent gave him a weird look.
(Confessional)
"Okay, so maybe I'm still trying to get Chris's job. This time, I looked up the executive producer's number after I was eliminated on my phone, so now I'm waiting for the call." – Topher
(End of Confessional)
'I guess that just leaves you and me Dave." said Sky.
"Oh." said Dave.
"C'mon Dave, we can win this, I'd rather not have to eliminate someone." said Sky.
"Yeah." he said. They began to all walk away after that to look for keys.
[Screaming Maggots]
"Dawn, may I ask what it was like on Wawanakwa?" asked Ella.
"It was fun, toxic, but fun…until Scott decided to trick me and make me look like a bad person." said Dawn.
"Oh, I am so sorry to hear that." said Ella.
"It's alright, he got what he deserved at the end, getting hurled off with Fang was that thing he deserved." said Dawn.
"Who's Fang?" asked a curious Ella.
"A mutated shark." said Dawn.
"Oh wow." said a surprised Ella.
"Do you mind if I read your aura?" Dawn asked.
"Oh sure, I think." said a confused Ella. Dawn then looked her in the eyes to which Ella didn't know how to react.
"You have a very pink aura. I can tell that you are a very positive person, and seem to get along with just about everything." said Dawn.
"Oh I'm so glad to hear that, people seem to like me, and animals love me. I try to keep positive and make friends with everyone." said Ella.
"I think we're going to be great friends." said Dawn.
"Oh I do very much agree so, let me sing about how great of friends we'll be!" said Ella. As soon as she begun to sing, animals from all around the forest came to hear her sing, including a bear that happened to have something around its neck.
"Ella, keep singing, that bear has a key around its neck." said Dawn. Dawn then began to make her way to the bear. The bear paid her no mind because it was entranced by Ella's singing.
"I got the key, let's start making our way back." said Dawn.
"Oh yes let's!" said Ella. They then began to run off to the other side of the island with several animals following them.
"So tell me, why is it that you wanted to come with me four eyes?" said Heather.
"I've studied you extensively, everything from your less than complex schemes and alliances, to your backstabbing motives, and I'm not impressed in the slightest." said Scarlett.
"You think that you're more evil than I am?" said Heather obviously offended. Just then a monitor popped out from a nearby bush.
"Trust me Heather, she's about a hundred times more evil than you, I had to bring her back because her family is terrified of her." said Chris. The monitor then went back into the bush.
(Confessional)
"Normally, I would never EVER let that psycho back on, but her parents paid me a lot of money to let her back." – Chris
(End of Confessional)
"So you've actually managed to scare Chris?" said Heather.
"Yes, but then again, it was rather elementary to do so." said Scarlett.
"I'm impressed." said Heather. Scarlett paid no attention to her comment.
"I have a proposition to make if you're willing to listen." said Scarlett.
"Alright, I'm listening."
"I propose that we form an alliance of sorts. With my intellect and your to do attitude, I believe that we could make it to the final two."
"I like the way you think, I'm in." said Heather after hearing Scarlett's proposition.
"Let me just tell you one thing though, if you ever even fathom the idea of addressing me as an inferior such as calling me…sidekick…, you'll regret it." said Scarlett with a harsh tone.
"Alright alright, now let's get going." said Heather.
(Confessional)
"I have no intentions of letting a neanderthal like Heather come with me to the finals, once she outlives her usefulness, I'll make sure she's eliminated." – Scarlett (wearing an evil grin on her face)
(End of Confessional)
"Bridgette, we're still friends right?" asked Courtney.
"Yeah." Bridgette replied awkwardly.
(Confessional)
"I know that Courtney is in it to win it and would risk losing her last friend to do this. I don't know if I can be friends with her. I mean she's not exactly the most trustworthy person on this show." – Bridgette
(End of Confessional)
"I just… you probably saw what happened during All Stars… I didn't mean any of that you know that, right?" asked Courtney.
"Yeah." said Bridgette starting to get annoyed.
A pause came onto the TV screen.
"Yeah this is really boring, and where is Shawn, Mike, and Brick?" asked Chris. "I can't find them anywhere with any of the monitors." Chef just shrugged his shoulders. "You can switch it to Leonard and Harold." said Chef. They both began to laugh after Chef made that suggestion.
"Well, looks like the Maggots are doing dreadful, but how are the rats faring compared to them? Find out when we come back on Total…Drama…Redux!" said Chris.
[Killer Rats]
"Sha-bam, Lightning takes the lead!" yelled Lightning as he grabbed his second key.
"Look again." said Jo as she showed that she had three keys.
"Oh no, I'm not gonna let some guy beat me sha-bam." said Lightning.
(Confessional)
"How many times do I have to say it, I…AM…NOT…A…GUY!" – Jo
(End of Confessional)
"I finally caught up with you guys!" said Tyler.
"Oh, it's what's his face." said Jo.
"Sha-beat it before you get hurt." said Lightning.
"Pft me, get hurt, as if." said a very confident Tyler. Just as he said that, he went face first into a tree.
"Sha-later loser!" said Lightning laughing.
"So…you tried stealing Chris's job as host?" asked Trent.
"Not necessarily stealing…more so replacing." said Topher.
"Why do you idolize him, if it isn't obvious he has no concern for any of us and has to be the most narcissistic person on the face of the Earth." said Noah.
"I know." Topher said in admiration of Chris.
(Confessional)
"Why do I even bother?" – Noah
(End of Confessional)
"Hey I think there's a key." said Trent." He pointed out a key which made them all happy…until they saw that it was in a mud puddle. A monitor popped out of a tree close to the puddle.
"Yeah, might want to be careful about that puddle." said Chris.
"Why?" asked Trent.
"That puddle was used for part of our finale for last season. It's 8 feet deep, so someone is gonna have to get on someone's shoulders and grab the key." said Chris.
"Won't that person on the bottom just suffocate?" said Noah.
"We got hoses around when we last did this, use those." said Chris.
"Chris, you aren't being original with repeated material. Maybe it's time to go with a younger more original host?" said Topher.
"Hey Topher, why don't you zip it before I eliminate you right now." said Chris. The monitor then disappeared.
"So who's going to carry who?" asked Trent. Topher and Trent then looked at Noah.
"What?" questioned Noah. Next thing he knew, he was preparing to submerge himself with Trent on his shoulders.
"This is what I get for being a team player." said Noah.
"Dude, it'll be fine, now stick this hose in your mouth and go." said Trent. Noah did this and hurried to get this over with. Luckily, Trent got the key quickly so they were able to get out not too soon after they started. Topher then grabbed Trent and Noah out of the mud puddle.
"You owe me for this." said Noah.
"Yeah yeah, now let's go." said Trent. Then the three of them started making their way to the other side of the island.
"Hurry up Samey; gosh you're so slow." said Amy.
"Shut up Amy." said Samey.
(Confessional)
"Last season was the first time that I stood up for myself against Amy. I want to keep that going. Amy will control my life no more!" – Samey
"It was a phase, nothing more. I'll be able to control my sister now like I did on the island and like I do back home. She's nothing without me. – Amy
(End of Confessional)
"Don't tell me to shut up Sparemey." said Amy.
"I just did, what're you going to do about it?" said Samey.
"I'm gonna tell everyone about how lazy and useless you are, then you'll be voted off." said Amy.
"No you won't, because I won't let you. If you do, one day, when you're eating breakfast…I might sneak a special kind of something that will cause you to not speak. I already did it once so you should know I'm not bluffing. Now go look for a key Amy." said Samey. Amy gave a worried glance and started walking forward in search for a key.
(Confessional)
"Eeee, that felt great! I'm getting the respect from I've always wanted." – Samey
"Dave." said Sky.
"Leave me alone, just because I'm paired up with you doesn't mean I have to like it." said Dave.
"Dave, you need to get over it already." said an irritated Sky.
"Get over it…GET OVER IT!?" yelled Dave. "All I did was care for you and I loved you, then I find out that you have a boyfriend back home, and to top that off, you didn't even win the money!" he continued to yell.
"And you don't think I know that!?" "I'll have to live with what happened, you don't think I feel bad about all this?" said an angered Sky.
"No, I don't think you do know it." said Dave.
(Confessional)
All that can be seen is Sky crying.
(End of Confessional)
(The Other Side of the Island – One Hour Later)
"Teams, your time is up, now anyone with a key, come forward starting with the Maggots." said Chris. The only three that stepped up were Shawn, Dawn, and Scarlett.
"Where in the world were you Shawn?" asked Chris.
"Oh I was back up in my tree and I didn't notice that there was a key there until like five minutes before the challenge ended. That's why you couldn't find me. I don't know about the other two. They weren't anywhere around me." said Shawn.
"Okkkayyy then." said Chris a bit weirded out. "But seriously Maggots…three keys?" "I put out over a hundred keys on this island and you couldn't even find like ten?" Chris was angered by this but became even angrier when he looked at Ella.
"ELLA, what did I say about you singing!?" questioned Chris. He could tell that she had sung because of the amount of animals that had followed her and Dawn out of the woods.
"Oh I'm so terribly sorry Chris, I just couldn't help myself." said a very sincere Ella. Chris was in such a foul mood with the Maggots, that he named the Rats the winners of the challenge.
"Hey you can't do that!" yelled Courtney.
"Oh yes I can, and you can't do anything about it, because I'm not breaking any of the rules." said Chris.
"So Chris, what's our prize?" asked Tyler.
"I'm glad you asked, this key unlocks the house from All-Stars, and before you say anything, yes we were able to get it from the wreckage, I was just living in it on this island because I was waiting for my new cottage to be built." said Chris. He then pointed to this house which looked exactly as it had from All-Stars considering it had been repainted and repaired and such. The Rats began to cheer.
"Hey what about us?" asked Bridgette.
"You get a cave, said Chris as he pointed to the cave where the Wanihtam Maskwak stayed after their failed Wizard Tower." said Chris obviously taking shots at Leonard's horrible idea. The Maggots groaned…all except Shawn.
"Well you guys can have the cave, I got my old trusty tree to sleep in." said Shawn.
"Oh and by the way, you should all decide who you plan to vote off the island today because I have a surprise for you guys on how you'll be leaving." said Chris.
The Maggots groaned even more.
(Elimination Ceremony)
"Welcome to the first elimination ceremony of the new season." said Chris. No one said anything.
"Geez, well you guys will definitely love the means of how I'm gonna get you off this island contestants…this is the slingshot of shame." said Chris." He pointed to a huge slingshot where the cannon of shame used to be in. The Maggots all gasped.
"Now then, you know how this goes, I call your name, you get a marshmallow, if you don't get one, you get to test out the Slingshot." said Chris. "Mike, Brick, Harold, Ella…Scarlett…, Dawn, Shawn, Bridgette, and Leonard, you're all safe." he said as he threw marshmallows at them. "Heather, no one likes you, and Courtney, no one likes you, so it's a win win for me." he said happily.
"Just get on with it!" yelled Heather.
"Alright sheesh, and the last marshmallow of the night goes to…
…
…
…
…
Heather."
"What… NO, I'm not leaving, I didn't even get a chance to do anything." said Courtney.
"Wait Chris, how did this even happen, a majority of us agreed that we would vote off Heather, not Courtney." said Bridgette. Scarlett gave a devious look to Heather, to which Heather returned the look.
(Voting Confessional)
"Heather is going to owe me for a long time." – Scarlett. It can be seen that she is switching out the votes so that it says Courtney instead of Heather. She then pulls out a match and burns the votes for Heather while giving an evil grin.
(End of Voting Confessional)
"I don't care at all, I just want to see someone launched from this thing." said Chris. He then called Chef to grab Courtney and take her to the Slingshot.
"You'll be hearing from my lawyers!" said Courtney.
"Go ahead and call them, I'm not afraid." said Chris. He then pressed the button on his remote and Courtney went flying into the air.
"One down, twenty-one more to go, who will be faced with elimination?" "Will it be the Maggots for the second time, or will the Rats taste defeat for the first time?" "Find out here on the next episode of TOTAL…DRAMA…REDUX!" yelled Chris.
Remaining Contestants:
Screaming Maggots: Mike, Heather, Bridgette, Brick, Harold, Leonard, Shawn, Ella, Scarlett, Dawn
Killer Rats: Noah, Jo, Lightning, Izzy, Samey, Amy, Trent, Dave, Tyler, Sky, Topher
I hope that you all enjoyed this. This might be on hiatus for a little bit because I need to think up challenges for the next couple weeks. Feel free to PM me or review suggestions of challenges or what I can do to make this the most enjoyable reading for you guys. Chapter 2 will start being made as soon as I get some suggestions on what I can do next or I think up something.
