Well, now that I've gotten back to writing stories (for now), I decided to go with my personal best one so far, out of a few other ideas I came up with.
First order of business, is that this particular story MIGHT contain the usual pairings of DuncanxCourtney, TrentxGwen, GeoffxBridgette, etc. Or, it may not. You'll just have to wait and find out.
Second, I would just like to say that this story was partly inspired by Rex Blazemen's Total Drama Heroes story, so it's not completely original. However, I have my own plot, so it's not some cheap knockoff either.
Third, I do not own TDI, or its characters. But, I do own the future Harold, Ezekiel, Duncan, Gwen, Izzy, and Eva, as well as other minor characters thought up of by me.
Fourth, Chris and Chef may or may not appear in this. Once again, we'll just have to wait and see.
Lastly, some characters may be OOC. Now then, happy friggin' reading!
UNKNOWN CITY- 5 YEARS IN THE FUTURE
Four teens were walking through the remains of what used to be a city. All over the world, there were many wrecked areas such as this one. Wrecked, and empty. Mankind had long been slaughtered, and the teens could only assume that they were the last of the rebels in the world.
"You're sure he's here, Zeke?" one of them asked, lighting the way with his pyrokinesis as the group searched for something. The pyro was named Duncan, sporting a green mohawk, spiked dog collar, skull shirt, and many piercings. Anyone would mistake him for one of the villains, but only if they didn't know.
"Of course I'm sure, eh! Were Owen's powers ever wrong before? Err, sorry, Izzy," the accused quickly added. Zeke, or rather Ezekiel, wore a dark blue torque that he seemed to wear at all times, covering his vast amount of dark brown hair. His green hoodie sweatshirt and baggy jeans had many rips where scars could be seen, many obtained from his risky spy missions.
"It's alright," Izzy replied to Zeke's apology, waving her hand at him. The group knew that Owen was Izzy's fiance before he... passed on. Even after then, she still wore the engagement ring to give her the strength to go on. Izzy wore a dark green trench coat to cover her signature green shirt that barely covered her stomach and long yellow skirt that had long been ripped. She also wore yellow wrist and ankle bands, and wore her long, messy orange hair in a ponytail. Her forest green high heels clicked in the quiet night as the group continued on, when the fourth teen pointed out something.
"There! See the light?" Gwen explained. Gwen looked to be in the best condition of the four teens, but that was because she was indestructable, as the many rips where wounds once rested showed. Her shoulder-length hair still held the teal streaks that she put in her hair years ago. Gwen, too, had suffered the fate of losing a loved one, wearing her engagement ring as well.
The group headed for the light that Gwen had spotted, and they entered a small and dirty, but somewhat homely place. A lone man was staring out of a makeshift window, his back to the group. He spoke without turning to face them.
"So, you've come." Zeke walked forward, staring at the young man.
"I take it you were expecting our presence, eh?" he stated. There was a short chuckle from the man.
"Of course. I am a master of timer afterall. I know so far that you will ask me to go back and change the future for the better, correct?" the man inquired, turning to face the group for the first time with an eyebrow raised in an amused way. The group finally saw the legendary man that their rebel group had searched for for years. He wore a red shirt with a clock on top of a faded gray shirt, along with green baggy jeans and worn out light gray shoes. The man also wore green tinted glasses, and had a long mane of dark red, slightly untidy hair.
"Th- that is true," Zeke replied, a little surprised just how blunt the man had been. Duncan stepped forward, eyes narrowed and a hint of hatred behind them.
"So, are you going to help us or what?" he asked, a little more hostile than he had wished. The man's smirk disappeared, and he looked at Izzy and Gwen with hard eyes.
"... I'm afraid not. The future is horrible, yes, but changing it could be disasterous. Even I barely travel to different periods, and only observe, not interfere. Furthermore, I've returned to my proper time period when finished," the man added to his defense. Unfortunetely, the pyro wasn't ready to stop there. He stepped forward and grabbed the man by the shirt, lifting him to come face-to-face with him.
"Look man, you haven't seen what we have. People dying, towns destroyed. This is a future that needs to be changed, and you're gonna do that!!!" Duncan ordered, shaking the man for emphasis occasionaly.
"Duncan, put him down!" Zeke shouted. Duncan looked murderously at Zeke, but sighed and put the time traveler down, who proceeded to dust himself off. Duncan returned to Izzy and Gwen's side, and watched Zeke walk up to the man in hopes of convincing him again.
"Look, I understand your concerns completely, but we believe that we really need to change the future, whether you want to accept that or-"
CRASH!
Zeke was cut off as a monsterous looking girl broke into the small house, being sent to stop the group from traveling back in time to save the future.
"Eva!" Gwen shouted, angry and frightened at the same time. Duncan took an opportunity to throw a fireball at Eva, who merely brushed it away, smirking. Izzy noticed Eva was standing on a piece of wreckage, and used her telekinesis to move it and cause Eva to fall onto the ground. Eva growled as she stood up. Gwen tried to run at Eva to tackle her, but Eva grabbed the girl, and threw her into some wreckage. Duncan jumped, and tackled Eva instead. Zeke and Izzy ran to watch the fight. Duncan lit himself on fire, and continued to pummel Eva with a few punches and kicks. This seemed to be working, until Eva grabbed his arm, and threw Duncan at a wall. Eva jumped in front of him, and kicked him into another wall nearby. Duncan groaned, extinquished himself, and struggled to move, when he heard a hysterical voice.
"DUNCAN! LOOK OUT!" Duncan barely looked up in time to see the metal beam come down and smash his skull. Duncan laid on the ground, blood pouring out of his head. His eyes were half-way closed, his arms limply under his body, and his legs crossed. Eva smiled, and dropped the metal beam beside her. She suddenly remembered the others, and turned around. They were nowhere to be found. Eva let out a roar, and began storming through the city.
"You can't hide from me! I'll find you, and snap your necks in half!" Eva threatened in a rather demonic yell.
Hiding from the furious Eva were the four survivors, who were now surrounding the time traveler.
"You still think this is a future that doesn't need changing?!" Gwen asked in a whisper at the man, tears in her eyes. The man remained silent, looking in the distance where Duncan had recently fallen. He could barely hear Zeke trying to call him back to here and now.
"... Dude, DUDE!" Zeke nearly shouted by accident. The man looked at Zeke, and then slowly faced the others.
"Fine, I'll do it," the man finally answered. The others merely nodded, but they were all secretly screaming with joy on the inside. The man walked in the middle of the group, and looked at each of them again before speaking.
"To travel back with me, you have to be touching me," he explained. Gwen and Izzy each took one of his hands, while Zeke stood behind him, touching his back. The man began to concentrate on the destination where he was heading. He began to envision five years ago, and was ready to head there, ready to change the fu-
"Wait," Zeke suddenly spat, breaking the man's concentration.
"What?!" the man shot, a little annoyed. Zeke looked taken aback, but shrugged it off.
"What's your name anyway, eh?" he asked. Gwen and Izzy looked to the man as well. The man made sure that everyone was still touching him before he began his concentration once more.
"My name............ is Harold," he answered. A split second later, the group of four disappeared from the spot.
Will the four heroes save the future? Who sent Eva to stop them? Why are our heroes different from the teens we knew and adored? And who was Gwen's fiance? You might find the answers to these questions in the future, you may not.
In the meantime, I have a little challenge for you guys (geez, I sound like Chris now): All 22 campers from TDI have their own specific powers. I have hinted for a couple campers already. See if you can name each camper's power. There's no real reward for this, but it'll be a little thng to do inbetween chapters (BTW, the next one might be up this weekend).
R&R!
