Chapter One: Let the Games Begins…


Dramatic music starts playing as the show starts. The host, Don, walks into camera view with his usual smile, as he stood in front of a train station in New York City.

"Welcome, viewers. For those of you who have just started watching this show, let me fill you. This is the reality TV show, Total Drama, and I, am the new host Don. I am also the host of the 'Ridonculous Race,' the spin-off of this show. I was asked to be host of this show as well, as the old host Chris McLean was let go, in favor of me. But enough about me, let's talk about this season of TOTAL. DRAMA. CHAMPIONS!

"All Eighty-Four contestants that have ever competed in Total Drama AND the Ridonculous Race will be competing this season for a chance to win a huge prize of ten million dollars!

"Now, let's meet our competitors who will be fighting it out to the death!" However, as he said the "death" part, a voice coming from his earbud spoke up.

"…Oh, it's still not to the death?" The voice spoke again to give his response. "…Gotcha." Don said as he finished his chat with the man on the other line. He then smiled back to the cameras. "Now, let's meet the competition."

A train pulled up, and out came a blend of fourteen people varying from big and tall, to small and scrawny.

"Folks, meet our first 14 contestants, Ezekiel, Eva, Staci, Silent B, Beardo, Rodney, Gerry, Pete, Devin, Carrie, Beth, Lindsay, Tyler and Brick." Don said introducing the first of the contestants. "Now," Don said as he cleared his throat. "Go to the Don Box at the starting line and wait for me to introduce the other 70 contestants."

As instructed, the contestants went to the starting line and waited. As they did so, another train pulled into the station. Fourteen more people came out.

"Here, we got, Dwayne, Junior, Tom, Jen, Cody, Sierra, Harold, Leshawna, Katie, Sadie, Lightning, Justin, Sky and Topher." Don said, introducing them. "Now, go to the starting line with the others." As they did so, a third train pulled into the station. Don opened his mouth to say something, but stopped when the door opened and 13 of the 14 people on the train ran out either screaming or gagging as a wave of noxious fumes came out of the train car.

One of the passengers, Emma, finally regained enough composure to speak. "Thank God, it's over. Owen's been "cutting the cheese" in there for the past twenty minutes!" As she got done saying it, Owen walked out of the car, chuckling as usual.

"What? Come on, it's not that bad."

"YES IT IS!" The 13 passengers yelled at him, making him flinch a little.

Don, who was just confused by this, decided to go on. "Um...okay? Anyways, folks here we have Owen, Emma, Noah, Kitty, Stephanie, Ryan, DJ, Scott, Dave, Leonard, Tammy, Taylor, Kelly and Blaineley." As he got down with this group's introduction, his eyes widen, as he took a whiff of the air. "Ugh, that's pungent. You know what? How about you guys just go to the starting line and away from me before my nostril get inflamed." The 13 contestants glared at Owen and they walked towards the starting line, with him trudging along last.

A 4th car pulled into a station. But as the doors open a manically laughter was heard. "It is time for evil to- Hey wait, what are you simpletons doing- unhand me at once- WAH!" Suddenly contestant—Max—went flying through the door and landed on the platform, face first. Another contestant, Scarlett walked out brushing her hands off. The others on the train also exited, with an annoyed look on each of their faces.

"And that's for talking and bragging non-stop about how you're 'winning' this season with your 'evilness'."

"Folks, here's competitors Max, Scarlett, Amy, Samey, Gwen, Courtney, Jacques, Josee, Heather, Alejandro, Duncan, Anne Marie, Jo and Sugar." Don introduced.

As the 4th group walked to the starting line, a 5th train pulled up.

"Okay, everyone, meet Trent, Dakota, Sam, Mike, Cameron, Zoey, Lorenzo, Chet, Rock, Spud, Dawn, Ella, Crimson and Ennui." Don introduced as each person walked passed him and to all the other contestant. Finally, a 6th and final train pulled up. Don smiled. "Our last train contains the contestants- Sanders, MacArthur, Ellody, Mary, Mickey, Jay, Izzy, Shawn, Jasmine, Geoff, Brody, Bridgette, Laurie and Miles!" The last of the contestants went to the starting line.

Don walked over to the contestants. He cleared his voice. "Everyone, you all know why you're here." He started, but was cut off by Courtney.

"Because our contracts legally binds us for whatever show Total Drama has in mind?"

"No." Don continued, "For the chance to win $10,000,000.00!" He exclaimed. The announcement of the prize was enough to get most of the contestants' attention and send them into a frenzy. Don put his hand up and everyone immediately came to silence. "Now, here are the rules.

"All 84 of you will take a Travel Tip from this Don Box. Each tip will have a logo from six different teams from Total Drama history printed on it. There will be six teams of fourteen. All right, Ready?" As he said this, people got ready to race to the Don Box. "Get set…GO!"

Suddenly, it was stampede as everyone ran towards the Don Box…accidentally trampling Don doing so.

"Watch the face, not the hair! Not again!" Don said laying on the ground in pain.

Everyone got to the Don Box and pressed down on the button on the top, and tips came sliding out of the mouth. There were 3 different colors to it. Green, Red and Yellow. After a while, everyone had gotten a tip.

"Ugh…" Don groaned as he picked himself up off the ground and brushed some dust off his clothes. He regained his composure and smiled. "Now that everyone has a tip I will now announce the teams.

"Please take notice of the monitor on the wall behind me." Don said. The contestants looked to see there was indeed a monitor behind him. "Everyone who got a red card with a fish on it, please come up."

People looked at their tips, and the ones who had the red card with the fish on it walked up. Sanders, MacArthur, Gerry, Pete, Crimson, Ennui, Topher, Beardo, Rodney, Kelly, Taylor, Lorenzo, Chet and Amy came up to the monitor. Suddenly, the monitor turned on and the same red fish came up on the screen.

"You fourteen will be, from now on be…The Killer Bass."

No one really had anything to complain about, in fact, one contestant, who goes by the nickname Samey, had a look of delight on her face.


(Samey's confessional)

"YES! Amy and I are FINALLY on different teams! Now I don't have deal with her making me look bad in front of my own team!" Samey exclaimed, with a smile plastered on her face.

(End of confessional)


"Now. Everyone who received a green tip with a lightbulb with crossbones on it, please, step up." Don spoke up.

The other 70 contestants looked at their tips. One of the contestants, Dave, looked up at his tip and saw the corresponding symbol on his tip. He smiled and walked up to monitor.


(Dave's confessional)

"After my um…'outburst' over Sky on the Pahkitew Island, I had to go see a psychiatrist for a few months. But I am all better now, and the chance of me and Sky being on the same team again is a 1 out of 84 chance." Dave explained with a relaxed look.

(End of confessional)


Dave stood with the others with the same symbol as him. He continued to smile. He then felt someone tap his shoulder. His smiled faded and he turned around to face the person trying to get his attention…and say Sky, smiling,

"Hey Dave." She waved at him.


(Dave's Confessional)

"…God damn it." Dave said with an annoyed looked.

(End of confessional)


"So, looks like we're on the same team again?"

"Yup." Dave replied, rolling his eyes in annoying and faces away from her, making her feel guilty.


(Sky's Confessional)

"Dave looks like he's doing much better than he was on Pahkitew Island.

"I think he still upset with me for how things ended between us, but who knows? Maybe I'll be able to patch things up with him, AND win the money this time!" Sky said with her usual look of determination on her face.

(End of confessional)


Don began speaking again. "Anyways. Trent, Owen, Noah, Emma, Kitty, Geoff, Bridgette, Brody, Shawn, Dave, Carrie, Devin, and Sky. You will all be known, from hence forth, The Screaming Gaffers." Don announced as the green lightbulb with crossbones came up on the monitor. "Any complaints?"

Dave raised his hand. "Uh-"

"No complaints? Good!" Don exclaimed, ignoring Dave, and rushing the Gaffers away from the monitor. "Now, our will everyone who has a yellow tip with a trophy on it please come on up to the monitor?"

The following people; Heather, Alejandro, Jacques, Josee, Scarlett, Max, Gwen, Lightning, Jo, Courtney, Ryan, Stephanie, Justin and Scott, walked up.

"You people will be Team Victory." Don announced to the contestants at the monitor, which showed an image of a yellow trophy on it.

Two contestants, the Ice Dancers Jacques and Josee, who were always smiling for the cameras, smiled and glares sinisterly.


(Jacques and Josee's Confessional)

"Team Victory." Josee said with a pleased look on her face. "Gold. It suits us."

"Technically our team is yellow." Jacques stated.

"Does it matter?" Josee said, giving an annoyed look to her partner. "And if any of 'teammates' get in our way, we'll crush them!" Josee exclaimed. She and Jacques then laughed sinisterly.

(End of confessional)


Team Victory walked away from the monitor and to the sidelines along with the Killer Bass and Screaming Gaffers.

"Okay. Will everyone with a green tip that has a mutant rat with four arms please walk over?"

The other half of the contestants that weren't on teams yet looked at their tips to see if they had the symbol. Fourteen more people walked over.

"Ezekiel, Eva, Brick, Dakota, Jay, Mickey, Ellody, Mary, Tom, Jen, Anne Marie, Staci, Spud and Rock. From now on, will be known as…the Toxic Rats." Don declared as a green mutant rat popped up on the screen.


(Ezekiel's Confessional)

Ezekiel, who sat in the confessional, looked like he did before he was feral. He wore ton of makeup to hide his green skin, which made him look like he had his white skin tone back, and he wore a fresh set of his regular clothes that he always wears. And under his toque was a special wig he bought in the shape of his of normal hair style.

"Alright, I'm a Toxic Rat!" Ezekiel exclaimed. "During my time as a stowaway on World Tour after my elimination, I even homeschooled with the rats on the plane!" Ezekiel explained. He smiled for a few seconds and then frowns at the camera and crossed his arms.

"Don't judge me, eh." He said.

(End of confessional)


The Rats then took to the sidelines along with the others.

"Now. Will everyone with a yellow slip and a picture of an innocent looking hamster with a halo, please step up?"

The final 28 people looked at their tips. The ones who had the corresponding tip walked up. These people were; Zoey, Mike, Cameron, Sam, Dawn, Ella, Dwayne, Junior, Beth, Silent B, Laure, Miles, Samey and Duncan.

"You 14 will be known as…the Heroic Hamsters!" Don told them. Most of them seemed really pleased with them…with the exception of Duncan, whose eyes widen in dismay.


(Duncan's Confessional)

"A Hero again?!" Duncan yelled in frustration "Is this Don's idea of a sick joke?! I am NOT a stupid hero!" He screamed, then took a deep breath. "Well, just because I'm on the hero team again doesn't mean I'm going to become all sweet and soft again, like last time…right?" He questioned himself in a worried tone.

(End of confessional)


Don then looked at the last fourteen contestants; Leshawna, Harold, DJ, Blaineley, Leonard, Tammy, Sugar, Cody, Sierra, Tyler, Izzy, Lindsay, Katie and Sadie. "Looks like you fourteen will be…the Confused Bears!" A picture of a red bear with a confused look and a question mark above its head pulled up on the screen.

"Alright!" Harold said, pulling out his favorite nunchucks and started flailing them around, causing his entire team to step away from him…before the nunchucks end up whacking him in the crouch, causing him to fall to the ground. Before anyone else could react, Duncan walked forward and helped Harold up.

"Thanks Duncan. That was pretty cool of you." Harold complimented. But to Duncan, he had widened eyes from realization from what he just did.


(Duncan's Confessional)

Duncan gasp in horror, realizing he was just kind to the guy he bullied for years.

(End of confessional)


Don got everyone's attention by clearing his throat. "Okay. Now that I have gotten everyone's attention, and divided them on equal teams, I will now explain some rules.

"We will be traveling around the world, just as we did in the Ridonculous Race and World Tour. Each team must go to each location and find the Don Box and complete the challenge on the tip. They will have to do this three time at each location and race to each Chill Zone. AND, the teams who come in 1st, 2nd and 3rd will get a fabulous prize. 1st place team, will get to spend a night at a local mansion this show has set up at each location. 2nd place gets to spend a night at 5-star hotel and 3rd place gets a regular local hotel.

"But teams who get 4th place, 5th, and 6th place, will be facing elimination and crappy living commendations. 4th place must send one person home an spend the night, at a local house, 5th place must send two people home and sleep in a local motel, and 6th place must send home three members from each team and sleeps at a local homeless shelter for the night."

Most of the contestants shuttered at the shelter part. Don chuckled. "Pretty cool, right? Now," Don started as he pulled out six regular purple Travel Tips and passed them to Heather, Sanders, Trent, Ezekiel, Leshawna and Duncan. "Here are each teams Travel Tip. Read it quickly and get to the location quick, or face elimination…" Don said walking off leaving the teams to huddle in with their perspective groups.


(With Team Victory)

Heather, who was holding the tip, tried to look at it and read it to her team, but it was snatched out of her hand by Jo. "Hey!"

"Sorry, but the team captain gets to read the tips." Jo said holding the tip with a proud look. Heather however, just scoffed at that remark and rolled her eyes. "Yeah right. If we'd let you be in charge, we'd be in last place." She remarked yanking it out of Jo's hand, who yanked it out of her hand again. It soon began a wrestling fight between the two as their teammates watched with annoyed looks. Soon, the fight caused them to lose hold on to the tip. Josee and Jacques took the tip from the ground, and read it out loud to their team, ignoring Jo and Heather's quarrelling.

"We are going to…" Jacque began, and was the cut off by Josee. "…Eygpt! Team Victory, to the gold!" She said as she led the run to the airport to book a flight to Eygpt.


(With the Screaming Gaffers)

"Alright Gaffers, looks like our first trip is to Egypt." Trent said with a cool and confident smile. "Let's go!" With that, the Screaming Gaffers were the second team to leave for the airport.


(With the Killer Bass)

"Egypt." Sanders announced.

"Let's hustle, everybody!" MacArthur demanded, and she picked up her partner and carried her over her shoulder as she usually did, as the rest of the Bass followed.


(With the Toxic Rats)

Ezekiel, who was holding the tip, was having trouble reading it. "Ugh, whoever wrote this tip put the words upside down!" One of his teammates, Ellody, walked over to him and flipped the tip around, as it was upside down.

"…Oh. Thanks." Ezekiel said. "Er…Eygpt! Toxic Rats, away!" The Rats left for the airport.


(With the Confused Bears)

"We're going to Egypt everyone!" Leshawna announced. "Come on!" She led her to the airport.


(With Heroic Hamster)
"Egypt. Let's move!" Duncan commanded, trying to sound as fierce and tough as possible to assert his bad boy status. Nobody from his team took it badly, and the Heroic Hamsters left.

With the last of the teams leaving, Don came back into camera view. "What a delightful group of people.

"Anyways, who will win the competition? There's only one way to find out! Keep watching, Total. Drama. Champions!" Don said signing off the show.
