A/N: Hey guys! I'm finally doing a sequel to TDIC! Obviously it takes place in the same universe, so, as with last season, some parts of canon apply and some do not, though I'll try not to exclude bits of canon on purpose anymore. That said, enjoy Total Drama Revenge of the Crossover!
"What is happening, dudes!" A medium-height young man stood in the middle of an island. He had medium-length blond hair and wore a pink polo shirt, khaki pants, and beige sneakers. "I'm Geoff Phillips, coming at you live from Pahkitew Island, here to give you the latest season of Total Drama. In just a few minutes, our twenty contestants, all from past seasons, will arrive, all ready to kick some butt. This will be an epic season, filled with tough challenges, harsh elements, and a million dollar prize that will make it all so worth it!"
Just then, a large cargo helicopter flew just above Geoff.
"And here come our contestants now!" Geoff announced. "By the way, I have no idea who got picked for this season, so if I seem a bit surprised by some of the contestants, that'd be why."
A door on the side of the helicopter slid open. Someone jumped out and deployed a parachute.
"And here's our first contestant of the season!" Geoff announced as the contestant descended.
The contestant was a Caucasian young man who had short, spiky, brown hair and wore a red-and-white track uniform with black sneakers that had white soles.
"Awesome! It's great to be here!" the boy exclaimed.
"Tyler! Glad you could make it!" Geoff greeted.
"I'm totally gonna dominate this season, bro!" Tyler announced readily.
"Cool. Go tell it to the confessional," Geoff suggested as he gestured to an outhouse that was closeby.
Confessional:
Tyler: It's great to be back in this game! I've competed before, but I wasn't on my A-game. This time, I'm going all in! Call me 'California 1849', because I'm going for the gold!
Another contestant descended from helicopter. This one was a pale-skinned girl with back-length, dark-brown hair and relaxed eyes. She wore a dark-green tank top along with dark-grey jeans and black, close-toed flats.
"Gwen? Is that you?" Geoff asked.
"Yes, Geoff, it's me," Gwen confirmed.
"You look so… different," Geoff admitted.
"I'm over my goth phase. It brings back bad memories of those four awful seasons I spent on this show," Gwen explained.
"So what's going to make this season less awful for you?" Geoff asked.
"First thing's first, no boys," Gwen explained. "All my troubles in this game have come from me thinking with my heart and not my brain."
Gwen noticed Tyler looking strangely at her.
"Well you're fine, Tyler. You already have a girlfriend," Gwen said. "I have no reason to worry about you screwing with my game."
"WHEW!" Tyler breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Confessional:
Gwen: My strategy in this game will be to get rid of all the single boys on my team first. I don't need to get attached to a boy and have it bite me in the butt later.
Tyler: Even though Gwen said I wasn't a target, I'd still rather not end up on a team with her. She's too serious, man.
The next contestant to descend was a short Indian boy with neat, dark-brown hair. He wore a red polo shirt, dark khaki pants, and brown shoes.
"And it's everyone's favorite, Noah!" Geoff announced.
"Everyone but the contestants, it seems," Noah remarked. "I've played this game three times and I haven't even come close to the merge."
"You were kinda close in World Tour," Tyler said.
"Kinda close doesn't win you the prize money," Noah responded. "My goal is to make the merge at least."
"Hey, that's my goal too!" Tyler smiled.
Confessional:
Noah: In Island Crossover, I made two major mistakes: I played too hard too quickly, and I underestimated my teammates' ability to stab me in the back. I think this season I'll go with a combination of my first two strategies: lay low like I did in Island, and only try as much as I need to like in World Tour.
Gwen: I'm still not sure if Noah's gay or not, so I don't know if I should worry about being distracted by him. Actually, no, I'm not going to risk it. He's a single guy, and therefore a threat.
The next to descend was a tall, muscular, Pacific Islander with chin-length, dark-brown hair. He wore sunglasses, a purple shirt with a dark beige vest over it, light khaki pants, and dark green sandals.
"Juuuuustiiiin..." Gwen swooned as soon as she saw the boy. She shook her head as she snapped out of it. "No! Bad Gwen! No boys!"
"Hey, Geoff, what's happening?" Justin greeted. "You the new host?"
"Right you are, my man," Geoff confirmed. "How does it feel to be back in the game after so long?"
"Feels great. There's only room for one pretty boy in this game, and I'll make sure it's me," Justin bragged.
"Looks can only get you so far," Noah remarked. "I'm sure you recall from Total Drama Action."
"Maybe… but I have a secret weapon," Justin replied.
Confessional:
Justin: I don't have a secret weapon. I don't really have a game plan at all besides make an alliance with a bunch of girls who are attracted to me. Matter of fact, the only reason I'm here is so I can rub it in Alejandro's face when I win a Crossover season after he failed the last one.
Gwen: If he and I are on the same team, he'll be the first to go.
"Wooooooooooohooooooooooo!" A voice from the sky called as another contestant fell out of the helicopter. This one forgot to deploy their parachute, however, and ended up crashing into the sand.
"Ahhhh!" Justin screamed as he fainted from shock.
"Well that's one way to eliminate your competition," Noah remarked. He noticed Tyler and Gwen glaring at him. "What?"
"Ohhhhh man, that hurts. But oh MAN that was fun!" The contestant hopped out of the whole in the ground she created. She had curly orange hair that reached down to her upper back. She wore a pair of pilot's goggles on her head, as well as a lime green sweater, blue jeans that were rolled up above the ankle, and brown sandals.
"Classic Izzy," Geoff chuckled. "You do know that wearing those goggles doesn't give you the ability to fly, right?"
"I know," Izzy smiled. "But I was so distracted by how cool it would be if I could fly, and I kinda forgot to open the parachute. My bad!"
"Is flying going to be your gimmick this season?" Noah asked.
"Probably not," Izzy said. "I just needed something crazy and loopy to wear. Everyone else got a redesign, so I needed one too."
"What do you mean by 'redesign'?" Gwen asked.
"Oh, would you look at that, I've said too much," Izzy chuckled. "Hey, look! There's the next contestant!"
Confessional:
Izzy: Oh my gosh, guys, I just realized something. People have called me 'psycho hose beast' before, right? I should totally become a firefighter! Then I could go all rogue with the firehose and start spraying people for fun! Then I'd be a real psycho hose beast! Only I'm pretty sure that's illegal. I can't do another nickel, guys.
Tyler: Did you guys see that wipeout?! Only Izzy could eat it that hard and still get up to tell us why fish sticks are some of the funniest things in the world.
"Get it? Because 'fish sticks' sounds like…" Izzy told the others.
"Hey, who is that?" Justin, having come to, asked as he pointed to the next contestant.
This contestant was a short, overweight, Caucasian girl with chin-length black hair. She wore a blue dress with tan trim and buttons, and black close-toed flats.
"Uh, have we been on a season together before?" Geoff asked the girl. "I'm not sure I recognize you."
"I don't see why you would," the girl responded. "After all, we only shared a team for half a season. The only team either of us have ever been on, mind you."
Geoff racked his brain for the answer. He looked surprised as he came to an answer. "Sadie?"
"Yes, but I go by Sarah now," Sarah confirmed.
"Is Katie okay with… all this?" Tyler asked as he gestured to Sarah's outfit.
"I honestly couldn't care less what Katie thinks," Sarah replied curtly. "I only care what smart, friendly people think of me. Katie is neither of those things."
"I'm liking this new Sarah already," Noah quipped.
Confessional:
Sarah: Needless to say, I'm not talking to Katie anymore. The why of it isn't really relevant. What matters is that, now that the skank and I are no longer friends, I can become my own person.
Gwen: Good for Sadie, er, Sarah, for becoming a strong, independent woman. I can see the two of us becoming friends.
The next contestant was a tall, muscular young man with red hair that was concealed by a straw hat, as well as a short beard of the same color. He wore a dark green jacket over a white shirt and faded blue jeans over brown boots.
"Okay, I definitely don't recognize you," Geoff said.
"My name's Rodney. I was on the Pahkitew Island season," Rodney explained.
"Nice to meet you, dude!" Izzy greeted as she shook his hand with both of her hands.
Rodney's eyes went big and he had a big smile on his face.
"Well I, with the parachute, ginger, and the island, and…" Rodney stammered.
"I like this guy!" Izzy proclaimed. "Coffee machines! Bedspread! Printers! Look, I'm doing it too!"
"Soccer balls! Jerseys!" Tyler added. "Uh, those big forky things in the grass! You know, the football ones. The endzone-types."
Noah mimed shooting himself in the mouth with his fingers.
Confessional:
Rodney: I've never met a girl like Izzy before. She's so… amazing. But I have to tell her. For real. That was my main problem last time, and it cost me the game pretty early. I have to let her know how I feel.
Justin: Honestly, he can have Izzy. That girl is nuts. Don't let her looks fool you, she'll destroy you if you make her mad.
The next contestant seemed to be a fair bit older than the rest of them. She had shoulder-length, dyed-blonde hair, and she wore a purple dress with matching high heels.
"And she's here!" the woman announced. "The diva of deviousness. The bitch of backstabbing. The idol of alliances. B-B-B-Blainerific!"
"Mildred. Great," Geoff sighed.
"That's Blaineley Stacey Andrews O'Halloran to you!" Blaineley snapped. "But Blaineley's fine. Or Blainerific. Whichever you prefer."
"Delusional as ever, it seems," Sarah remarked under her breath.
"Now, since I'll be winning this season, I'll be generous and let you volunteer to be in an alliance with me," Blaineley told the others.
No one said anything.
"That's okay. We can talk later. Wouldn't want to be too open about the alliance. Then people will see us as a threat," Blaineley said with a hint of annoyance.
Confessional:
Blaineley: Obviously these kids are intimidated by me. They know who I am. I was in Season 3. Of course, I didn't join the game until it was too late. Now that I'm here from the start, I can establish an alliance early and dominate the game from there.
Noah: I would say that nobody can really be that delusional, but this is Total Drama we're dealing with. The same show that had Heather, Courtney, and Lightning. I pray none of them make it on this season. The last thing we need is three overinflated egos on this season. Justin and Blaineley should be torture enough.
The next contestant was an overweight Caucasian girl with shoulder-length brown hair. She wore a blue hoodie, white pants, and light-grey sneakers.
"Looks like I confessed too soon…" Noah muttered.
"Staci!" Geoff announced. "Er, you're here."
"Yah, it's good to be here, Geoff. Thanks for having me back," Staci replied.
"So, which of your relatives invented parachutes?" Noah asked sardonically.
"Well, I wasn't going to bring it up, but since you asked…" Staci started.
"That was a joke. I don't care," Noah interrupted.
"Well that's rude," Staci frowned. "Yah, if anything I should be mad at you. You're the reason I was the first voted out for the second time in a row."
"Are you sure you had nothing to do with that?" Blaineley remarked.
"Look, I'll try not to bring up my family again unless you ask me, okay," Staci defended sadly. "It's obvious no one cares. So can't we just start again? Please?"
Confessional:
Staci: Yah, the last two times I played, I thought I'd impress everyone by telling them about how successful my family's been. It hasn't worked out. This time, I'll try and leave the family out of it.
Sarah: I admit, I see a lot of myself in Staci. We're both on the larger side, we were both ostracized by our teammates, and we're both looking for a second chance. I'll give her one if she gives me one.
The next contestant was one anyone could recognize. He had a few piercings and a soul patch on his face, and his black hair was very short aside from the bright green mohawk. He wore a brown suede jacket over a black shirt, a black leather belt, blue jeans with a pocket chain, and black combat boots.
"Great! It's Duncan!" Geoff announced excitedly.
"Great. It's Duncan," Gwen muttered.
Duncan snorted as he looked at the others. "So, this is my competition?" he asked rhetorically. "Looks like getting that second win won't be so difficult after all."
"Psh. Talk about conceited," Blaineley remarked.
"Gwenny Gwen. It's been a while," Duncan said as he approached the pale girl.
"Not going to happen, Duncan," Gwen said coldly. "No boys for me this season."
"Well what a coincidence," Duncan grinned. "I was just thinking the same thing."
"Were you planning on having boys before?" Gwen asked suspiciously.
"What? No!" Duncan growled. "I meant with girls."
"Good. Then we have no reason to continue talking," Gwen told him.
"Fine," Duncan agreed.
Confessional:
Duncan: You'd think after being in four seasons of this show, people would remember all the awesome strategic moves you made, right? Nope. All anyone ever asks me about is that stupid-ass love triangle. This season, I'm going to make moves nobody will ever forget.
Tyler: I'm not exactly enthused about Duncan being here. He cost me the last game I was in, plus he's made the merge four times already. Leave some room for the rest of us, man!
Next out of the helicopter was a pale-skinned girl with disheveled, black, chin-length hair. She wore a black-and-white-striped t-shirt along with tight black pants and black high-heeled boots.
"Ooo oooooo! Ooo ooo ooo ooooooo!" the girl sang as she descended.
"Guess this must be another Pahkitew contestant," Geoff shrugged. "I knew I should have watched that season."
"You recognize her, Rodney?" Justin asked.
"I recognize the voice, but I think she was on the other team," Rodney admitted.
"Indeed, I was on Team Maskwak, while he was on Team Kinosewak," the girl confirmed as she landed. "My name is Ella. I'm very pleased to meet you all."
"Oh, that's right, you're the princess girl!" Rodney remembered. "You look different."
"That's because I'm all about rock and roll now," Ella told him. "The princess thing was fun, but it was a phase." She cleared her throat. "Life is too short, so why waste, precious tiiiiiiiime?" she sang.
"Well, she has a nice voice, I'll give her that," Geoff said with a smile.
Confessional:
Ella: Singing has always been a passion of mine, and that will never change. But as I grow older, my outlet for singing may change. A few months ago, I heard a rock and roll song with a soprano singer, and I knew right then and there that rock would become my new outlet.
Staci: Yah, my older cousin was in a rockband once. That's not even a lie. Sadly it broke up because the drummer got into a car accident and died. My cousin's fine though.
The next contestant was a muscular Caucasian young man with a green beret over his black crew cut. He also wore a dark green jacket over a white dress shirt and a black tie, as well as navy blue pants with black boots over them.
"Brick! My former teammate! How's it goin'?!" Geoff greeted.
"It's going fine, Geoff," Brick said readily. "I get the feeling that this season will be my season."
"Dude, nice army getup," Duncan complimented. "Does a member of your family serve?"
Staci looked like she was about to say something, but she kept quiet.
"Actually, I'm training every day until I'm of age to join," Brick said. "This uniform is just for show. For now."
"I've always been interested in the military. Maybe you and I should talk sometime," Duncan grinned.
"Sounds good, private," Brick nodded.
Gwen pulled Brick aside.
"Don't trust a thing he says. He's not as nice as he seems," Gwen whispered. Tyler nodded in agreement.
"Um, I can hear you," Duncan frowned in annoyance.
Confessional:
Brick: I've seen the past seasons. I know Duncan's one of the meaner contestants. But on the battlefield, nice and mean are irrelevant. What matters is getting your soldiers through it alive. If Duncan and I are on the same team, I'll do everything I can to save him, mean or not.
Justin: I have to say, for someone interested in something as barbaric as the military, Brick chose a nice outfit. Fits the military motif, but still fashionable. As a supermodel, I must say I approve.
The next to descend was a tall, thin, tanned girl with messy black hair that reached to her shoulders. She wore a revealing red tube top, very short jean shorts with a brown belt, and black, open-toed high-heel wedges.
"Well look who just arrived," Sarah sneered.
"I could say the same," the girl responded.
"No, you couldn't. You just arrived. I arrived a while ago," Sarah said pretentiously. "Therefore, you couldn't say the same!"
"Yeah, well… you're fat!" the girl retorted.
"Ooh, the originality of that insult is just crushing!" Sarah mocked dramatically.
"Uh, I guess this is Katie," Geoff said as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"Actually, it's Kate now," Kate corrected. "I'd rather not have my name rhyme with that cow's!"
"For your information, I go by Sarah now," Sarah told her. "And I did that long before you stopped going by Katie."
"You can't prove that!" Kate shouted.
Confessional:
Kate: I'm glad Sadie and I aren't friends anymore. She's just a jerk who thinks she's way smarter than she really is!
Duncan: (he is covering his ears) Ugggh! I can't believe I'm saying this, but I liked them better when they were squeally best friends!
Next to arrive was a red-haired boy with slicked-back hair and a chin beard. He wore a red flannel shirt, dark blue jeans with a dark grey belt, and brown shoes.
"Aw man," Staci said disappointedly.
"Can't say I recognize him," Geoff admitted.
"That's Scott," Brick told him.
"He's a dick," Gwen added.
"Oh ha ha," Scott laughed sarcastically. "When was the last time I did anything remotely mean?"
"Well, there was the time in All-Stars where…" Gwen racked her brain. "Actually, you weren't so bad in that season."
"Exactly. I'm a changed man," Scott said.
"I don't know…" Brick thought aloud.
"I wouldn't expect you to believe me right away. I'll just have to prove myself," Scott smiled.
"That's very kind of you," Ella complimented.
"Thanks," Scott replied.
Confessional:
Scott: Bahahahaha! I can't believe they fell for it! All-Stars was an awful season! I put the scheming aside for once, and all I do is get injured. I'm not letting that happen again. I'm back to my old ways… not that they need to know that.
Blaineley: Scott seems pathetic. I don't know how he even heard of this show – he's probably so poor he can't afford a television. I'll be sure to let him know who's in charge around here.
The next contestant to arrive was a Caucasian young man with messy dark hair and a chin strap beard. He wore a grey t-shirt which had a black number 9 design with a white circle in the middle, as well as blue jeans and black sneakers.
"Trent! Dude! It's been a while," Geoff greeted.
"Sure has," Trent nodded. "How have things been since we last saw each other?"
"Can't complain, can't complain," Geoff replied. "How about you? What's new with you?"
"Well, I'm not sure if you heard, but I've been diagnosed with OCD," Trent said. "That's what the whole 'nine' thing was about. Not to mention my obsession with Gwen."
"How does OCD result in you becoming obsessed with me?" Gwen asked.
"Oh, Gwen. Didn't see you there," Trent said nervously. "Well, I mean, it is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, so that's the cliffnotes version of it."
Trent nervously tapped his side nine times.
"Heh. You and Izzy could become crazy buddies," Noah remarked.
"Cool! Crazy buddies!" Izzy cheered.
"Uh, yeah. Sure," Trent said nervously.
Confessional:
Trent: I'd really prefer not to be called crazy, but I don't expect anyone here to sympathize. Everyone treated me like a freak back in Action for it, so why should that change? I'll try not to be too bitter though, since I'll need allies in the game.
Gwen: I'm not getting a good reading on Trent. I can't tell if he's still into me, or if he's over me. I think he'll be someone I'll have to watch out for. He could be dangerous to my game.
The next contestant to descend was a pale-skinned girl with platinum-blonde hair done up in a ponytail. She wore a black cardigan over a red shirt that revealed her midriff, as well as a matching red miniskirt and black, low-heeled sandals. She also had a noticeable beauty mark on her right cheek.
Rodney looked terrified as the girl landed. She took immediate notice of this.
"Oh, great, Rodney's here," the girl complained.
"And you are…?" Scott asked.
"Amy. And don't you dare forget it," Amy said.
"Judging by his reaction, I'm willing to bet the two of you didn't get along," Trent said as he pointed at Rodney.
"No, Rodney's just weird," Amy sneered. She slapped him across the face. "Snap out of it! You look ridiculous!"
"Y-Yes Amy," Rodney apologized.
"She seems almost as bad as Sadie," Kate remarked. Sarah gave her a dirty look.
"No! Amy's a perfect angel," Rodney insisted as he began to blush.
"If you insist," Tyler shrugged.
Confessional:
Amy: Don't worry everyone, it's just me this time. My awful sister won't be competing in this season because she felt so guilty about ruining the last one for me and everyone watching at home.
Rodney: Oh no. How am I going to break this to Izzy? Amy and I have always had something special! But I have to do it. I can't get eliminated again. I have to stay faithful to Amy. (He swoons)
Next to arrive was a Caucasian young woman with dark hair pulled back into a ponytail. She wore a grey tank top that cut off at the abs, as well as grey athletic shorts, grey sneakers with white soles, and white knee socks with grey stripes.
"Hey, everyone! It's Eva!" Geoff announced. "Aren't we all happy to see her?" he asked nervously through his teeth as he forced a smile.
"I don't care if they're happy to see me," Eva told Geoff. "I'm here whether they like it or not. And if they don't like it, then they're going to have to deal."
"I admire your tenacity, soldier," Brick complimented. "It would be an honor if we were on the same team."
Eva looked at Brick in disbelief. "Clearly you don't know who I am. If you set me off, you can bet you'll be singing a different tune."
"Uh, Eva, you guys were on the same season in the last Crossover game," Sarah pointed out. "You were just on different teams."
"I know that!" Eva snapped.
"Okay. Geez," Sarah said defensively.
"Hey, let's not fight," Ella suggested. "We should be friendly. After all, weeeeeee belong! We belong, we belong togeeeetheeer!"
"Pat Benatar? Nice," Trent remarked.
"Oh get a room," Eva snarled.
Confessional:
Eva: My performance last season was PATHETIC! I was voted out for an injury! I was eliminated over Sierra, Dawn, and Cody! That's unacceptable. This time, if anyone THINKS about pitying me, maybe they'll be the ones being voted out for an injury!
Duncan: Well then. It's nice to see Eva's the sweet, friendly girl we all remember her to be. Tch. Is it any wonder she's always the first to go on whatever team she's on? It'll probably happen to her again this season if she keeps that attitude up.
The next contestant to come out of the helicopter was a larger black young man with shoulder-length dreadlocks and a beard that covered his face. He wore a black t-shirt and baggy jeans that covered his shoes. Interestingly enough, as he fell, a whistle sound effect could be heard.
As he landed, he made a ta-da sound effect.
"Beardo!" Ella exclaimed. "It's nice to see you again. Remember me? Ella? I voted you off Team Maskwak. Oh, probably shouldn't have mentioned that part. Sorry."
Beardo gave Ella a forgiving pat on the shoulder as he joined the others.
"Uh, hey, guys," Beardo greeted quietly.
"Did he say something?" Tyler asked.
"No, he just beatboxes and junk," Amy told them. "I don't think he said one word last season."
"Oh, uh. Sorry… for that. I. Will try. A bit harder… this time," Beardo said, this time a bit louder.
"Do or do not. There is no try," Izzy said with a Yoda impression.
"Alright then," Beardo said shyly.
Confessional:
Beardo: Last time. I. Did what I. Always do. I didn't talk. I didn't converse. I didn't even drop a verse. I just made those noises and sound effects. This time, I. Will try. To open up a bit more. Get a better score. Maybe win some dough. For I am… Bee. Air. Doh. (He makes some record sound effects as he mimes using a turntable)
Trent: Beardo's… confusing. Ella told me he was the first one voted out of that season, and I don't doubt her. He might just be shy, but knowing this show, anything's possible. Maybe he's secretly plotting to take over the island. (He chuckles) Like that'd happen.
The next contestant was a pale young man with medium-length, messy, brown hair as well as a goatee of the same color. He wore a purple hoodie jacket over a brown shirt with a golden letter Z design, as well as blue jeans and brown hiking shoes.
"Yo yo! Zeke is back in the house!" the boy announced.
"Ezekiel!" Geoff greeted. "Glad to be back?"
"Totally," Ezekiel replied. "I know I can win this one, eh."
"What makes you so sure?" Amy sneered. "You don't look like much."
"Hey, if Owen and Cameron could win, anything goes, eh," Ezekiel responded.
"Nope. Sadie can't win because she's too fat," Kate said.
"Um, did you miss the part where Owen won?" Sarah snapped.
"Well you're even fatter," Kate told her.
"What happened to them, eh?" Ezekiel asked as the girls continued arguing.
"They're not getting along anymore, it seems," Justin answered.
"Okay, so they're not down with each other no mo'?" Ezekiel asked. "They don't chill in the same 'hood? They don't-"
"Please stop," Justin interrupted.
Confessional:
Ezekiel: I know I've had bad luck in this game before. Really bad, DNA-altering luck. But that's all over now, eh. I can win this, I don't care what anyone says.
Tyler: Ugh, why did Zeke have to come back? In case you at home forgot, he totally convinced Lindsay that he was me back in Island Crossover. And it worked! And now she's convinced there never was a Tyler! My girlfriend won't even talk to me and it's all his fault!
The last contestant to arrive was a Caucasian girl with short blonde hair. She wore a loose pink t-shirt that revealed black bra straps on her shoulders, as well as jeans with the legs ripped off to turn them into shorts, and brown sandals.
"Bridgette, hey," Gwen greeted.
"Hey, Gwen," Bridgette greeted back. She looked around. "So, where's Chris?"
"Uh… Chris… isn't hosting this season," Gwen said nervously as she gestured her head towards Geoff.
"Oh!" Bridgette gasped as she noticed her ex-boyfriend. "Hey… Geoff…"
"Bridgette," Geoff nodded professionally. "I see you've been chosen as a contestant. I wish you the best of luck."
"Y-Yeah…" Bridgette replied awkwardly.
"Hey, I just realized," Scott said. "I saw the last Crossover season. Didn't Chris ban you from this game after you quit being a contestant and an intern at the same time?" he asked Geoff.
"He said he would 'exclude me from any future seasons,'" Geoff said. "Of course, Chris isn't here, so I don't think that rule applies, especially since I'm not competing."
"Why isn't Chris here?" Izzy asked. "I bet he was abducted by the orange sparkly coconut aliens from Planet Mushroom-VII. It happens all the time."
"…Let's go with that," Geoff agreed confusedly.
Confessional:
Bridgette: Well, I guess someone should bring it up. In the last Crossover, Geoff completely forgot about me and hooked up with Dakota, who apparently forgot about her boyfriend, Sam. So the fact that Geoff is hosting this season… well… it's going to be kind of awkward, I'm not going to lie.
Geoff: Okay, whose funny idea was it to cast Bridgette in this season? Huh? Of all the people you could have cast… Why not Zoey? Everyone loves Zoey!
"Okay, so, I think that's everyone," Geoff said as he noticed the cargo helicopter flying away. "Now we can get started with your first challenge!"
"Seriously?" Kate asked. "We, like, just got here."
"Maybe you did, but some of us had to be more patient than that," Sarah quipped.
"Ladies," Geoff said loudly to bring their attention back to him. "Don't worry, this challenge isn't hard at all. All you have to do is search the island for coins. There are fifteen coins in all: five bronze, five silver, and five gold. The coin you get determines which team you are on. The five of you who don't get a coin will also be on a team, but they'll have to go to the elimination ceremony tonight."
"Whoa. That's harsh," Tyler commented.
"You won't find any of them underwater or underground, so don't bother looking there. Anywhere else is fair game. Oh, and one last rule: you can't carry more than one coin at the same time. Are you ready?!" Geoff called.
"Yes!" Brick replied.
"No," Amy replied.
"Maybe?" Noah shrugged.
"Then… GO!" Geoff called. The twenty contestants all split up in different directions.
Confessional:
Ezekiel: My strategy for this challenge is to find a gold coin no matter what, eh. Not only will it keep me safe from elimination, but it'll make some sick bling, too.
Scott: I'm thinking I should stick with someone who only sees the best in people. The kind of person who'll believe me when I say I've changed. Ella seems like a good candidate, and I'm not ruling out Brick either.
Beardo: First thing. Is first. I. Need to find. An ally. Someone I. Can talk to. All through. The entire game. But who. Should I choose?
Izzy ran up to Noah.
"Heeeeeey, Noah!" Izzy greeted. "Noah, old buddy, teamie! We should work together!"
"Sure, why not?" Noah agreed somewhat reluctantly.
"Awesome sauce!" Izzy cheered. "Hey, Eva, you wanna join us too? It'll be like old times!"
"Pass," Eva replied as she went her own way.
"Izzyyyyyy!" Rodney ran up to Izzy dramatically.
"Oh, hey Rodney. What's up?" Izzy asked.
"It's just, you see, the cheerleader, and the Kinosewak, and…"
"Well, nice to see your syntax has improved," Noah remarked.
Rodney took a deep breath. "Izzy. I have to break up with you. There's someone else."
"Aw, but we were getting so close," Izzy pouted.
"Rodney!" Amy called as she grabbed him by the ear. "You're helping me find a coin. Pronto!"
"Y-Yes, honey!" Rodney agreed as Amy dragged him away.
Confessional:
Izzy: (she is tearing up) I can't believe Rodney would do this to me. After all the time we've spent together.
Amy: Since Spareamy isn't on this season, I need someone to do all the dirty work for me. Rodney probably still has that weird crush on me from last season, so it'll be him.
Scott had grabbed Ella and Brick aside.
"Hey. I was wondering if you two wanted to work together," Scott told them.
"Ooh. Sounds fun," Ella agreed.
"I don't know," Brick said.
"I was thinking we could all try for the same kind of coin," Scott said. "Then we could all be on the same team."
"We could be a team of friends!" Ella cheered. "We will be invinciblllllllllle!" she sang.
"Scott, I'll be honest," Brick said. "I don't entirely buy your claims to have turned over a new leaf. You can work with Ella, but I'll have to pass."
"Aw, Brick, don't be like that," Ella said as she put a hand on his shoulder. "I'm sure Scott's seen the error of his past ways."
"Yeah. I was loads more popular when I was nicer in All-Stars," Scott said. "Why would I want to lose that?"
"I suppose you have a point," Brick conceded. "In that case, let's begin searching."
"Excellent," Scott smiled.
Confessional:
Scott: I might let Brick stay around, if only because he'd be a physical asset on our team, but if he doesn't trust me, I may have to let him go early. Ella, on the other hand, is perfect. She's naïve enough to believe I've changed, and I'm loving it.
Brick: Scott wasn't the most mentally stable fellow in either season. I don't know how his mind works. He might be telling the truth, but he very well may be lying as well. That said, I'll do everything in my power to lead my teammates to victory, whoever they may be.
Ezekiel walked up to Beardo.
"Yo, yo, dawg!" Ezekiel greeted. "Yo, we should work together. We could be, like, hip-hop brothers."
Beardo gave him an odd look. "Er, why don't we. Get Staci. And be. A group. Of the first boots?" he asked.
"Even better," Ezekiel agreed. "Yo, Stace. Wanna join our group?"
"Uh, sure," Staci agreed.
"Sweet. Now we're the first boot alliance!" Ezekiel cheered.
"Hey, what about Bridgette?" Staci asked. "Yah, she was the first one voted out of Total Drama Action."
"Ooh, good call, yo," Ezekiel nodded.
"Uh, guys?" Beardo pointed to Bridgette, who was talking to Gwen and Sarah.
"Bridgette, you should join our group," Gwen told the surfer girl.
"Sounds good," Bridgette smiled before sighing. "But do I even want to do this?"
"Is this about Geoff?" Sarah asked. "You shouldn't let that get to you. I'm playing to win, even if that skank is still here."
"That's different, though," Bridgette said. "You're the one who ended the friendship, right? Geoff broke it off with me. It's awkward to be around him."
"Chin up, Bridgette," Gwen encouraged. "I won't let either of us be distracted by boys in this game."
"Alright then…" Bridgette said with a weak smile. "You're right. I should forget about Geoff and his golden hair, and… toned arms, and…" Bridgette frowned again.
Confessional:
Beardo: I. Have to deny. Ezekiel's self-proclaimed street cred. However. I. Have an ally. Two, actually. It's pretty sweet.
Gwen: I know it sounds selfish, but I need Bridgette to get over her thing with Geoff. I speak from experience when I say that heartbreak makes you do stupid things, and I need her to be level-headed if I want her to stay loyal.
Justin approached Kate with a smile on his face.
"Hey, Kate," Justin greeted.
"Hey, Justin," Kate greeted back as she stared into his eyes.
"I just wanted to say that I'm totally on your side in the 'you vs. Sadie' argument," Justin said. "She has no idea what she's saying."
"Like, you're telling me!" Kate agreed. "She's being so selfish and stupid!"
"I was thinking the two of us should team up," Justin proposed. "Two good-looking people, sticking together all the way to the final two."
Kate smiled. "I like the sound of that!" She jumped into his arms. "Let's be on the same team as Sadie! Then we can vote her out personally!"
"Sure…" Justin said, weirded out that Kate had jumped into his arms.
Confessional:
Justin: Kate is easily the best option I have for an ally. She's hopelessly in love with me, she's dumb as a post, and she can't think for herself, so there's no chance in her backstabbing me. It's perfect.
Kate: Ha! Take that, Sadie! I'm teamed up with Justin, the hottest guy we've ever met, and you're not! Who's the smart one now?
Duncan approached Trent.
"Trent. Buddy," Duncan greeted. "I know we've had our differences in the past, but I feel like you and I could have something in this game."
"Are you... asking me out?" Trent asked, confused.
"What?! NO!" Duncan said angrily as he facepalmed. "I'm talking about an alliance!"
"So you, the guy responsible for Gwen dumping me and my friends ostracizing me, are offering an alliance with me?" Trent asked.
Confessional:
Trent: Duncan's probably the last person I'd want to work with. Ever. That said, he has made it to the merge four times. That's more times than some of us have even played this game. He could be useful. But still, there's the whole Gwen thing…
Before Trent could answer Duncan's question, Blaineley pulled the guitarist aside.
"Trent, we're both world-renowned and famous," Blaineley told him. "We'd make a perfect alliance."
"I wouldn't really say world-renowned, but-" Trent said.
"Hey, blondie," Duncan said threateningly. "Trent's my alliance partner. Now get your hands off of him."
"Quite the charmer you are," Blaineley remarked. "It's no wonder you and Courtney got along so well."
"I'll have you know Courtney and I are finished. Done-zo. Splitsville," Duncan insisted.
"I honestly don't care. And I hosted Celebrity Manhunt, so me not caring about your relationship drama is saying a lot," Blaineley replied. "Now. Trent. You and me. Challenge. Let's go." With that, Blaineley dragged the guitarist away.
Duncan looked around to find that Tyler was the only one left. The jock was looking around for a partner.
"Hey, Tyler! Wanna team up?!" Duncan called.
Tyler turned around and noticed Duncan. "Uh, I'll pass. Say, I think I saw someone going this way. I'll, uh, go over there." Tyler ran off into the forest.
"Great. Juuuuust great," Duncan griped.
Confessional:
Duncan: Honestly, who cares if I'm alone? I'll just form an alliance once the teams are all together. These groups are temporary anyway. Sure, people could look for the same kind of coin, but the odds that they'll all pull it off is next to none. Heck, for all Blaineley knows, Trent could end up on my team while she has to find a new partner.
"It looks like everyone's off to search for hidden treasure!" Geoff told the camera. "Who will come back with a coin, who will be left with nothing, and who will be sent home? All these answers and more, next time on Total! Drama! Revenge of the Crossover!
A/N: So that's Episode 1. I'll try to get Episode 2 out soon. :)
