Well, that was fast. It hasn't even been a week since I finished Total Drama Losers. I already did have a lot of what I was going to do planned out in my head so I guess it figures. Also, you do not have to have already read my previous fanfic to get what's happening in this one as I will try to avoid referencing events that happened in that story. Anyway, I know this is kinda soon for the new story but I hope you like it anyway. Let me know if you think it's too rushed.
On an early morning in Toronto Chris McLean stood in front of the gates to a familiar looking movie studio with his trusty co-host, Chef.
"Hey there folks! Welcome to yet another season of Total Drama!" Chris announced. "As you might remember last season we brought back some of this show's biggest losers to fight on Pahkitew Island. Well, right now we're bringing back eighteen of our biggest winners to fight it out at the old abandoned movie studio from season two for a grand prize of one million dollars."
"So it's like All-Stars?" Chef asked.
"No, this is totally different." Chris denied. "We're at a film lot… Mostly because Pahkitew Island is under construction right now."
"It sounds exactly the same." Chef told his co-host.
"Okay, fine, it's pretty similar." Chris admitted. "But I made an effort not to invite the same people back… Mostly. You'll see what I mean in a moment. We're about to get things started right here on Total. Drama. Winners!"
(Theme Song)
The scene faded in on Chris and Chef back in front of the gate to the movie studio.
"What was with that?" Chef asked. "Ya just paused for like, five seconds."
"I was pausing for the intro. You've been here for years. You should know this by now." Chris told him.
"Jeez, sorry." Chef replied.
Chris looked away from his co-host and back to the camera.
"You all know what time it is." Chris said to the audience. "Time to meet this season's batch of contestants!"
A tour bus pulled up to the gate of the studio.
"First, let's meet season one finalist Owen!" Chris announced.
Owen enthusiastically stepped out of the bus.
"Woo! It's so cool to be back for another season!" Owen cheered.
He went over and hugged Chris.
"Easy there…" Chris uncomfortably remarked. "This is getting a little too friendly."
"Oh, sorry." Owen apologized as he let go of Chris. "I just haven't been on this show in a little while."
Owen stepped to the side of Chris.
(Confessional: Owen)
"Being back here is awesome!" Owen exclaimed. "The film lot was probably the favourite place Chris took us because it was the least dangerous."
"Next up, it's season four finalist with a permanent bleach hairdo: Lightning!" Chris announced.
Lightning jumped out through the buses front door and struck a dramatic pose.
"Sha-blam! Nobody'd better mess with Lightning!" Lightning proclaimed. "Where's the challenge at?"
"It hasn't started." Chris told him. "Just wait next to Owen for now."
"Oh, all right. That's cool." Lightning replied before moving over to where Owen was.
(Confessional: Lightning)
"Lightning ain't gonna be taken down this season." Lightning told the audience. "These guys are bowling pins and Lightning's the ball that's gonna knock 'em over… Hmm, that was smart. Lightning needs to start sayin' more things like that."
"Up next, it's Pahkitew Island finalist: Sky!" Chris announced.
Sky stepped off of the bus.
"Wow, it's good to be back." Sky remarked. "I'm going back to the finale again."
"Don't get too ahead of yourself." Chris told her. "Hopefully you won't make anyone else lose their mind."
"Okay, that wasn't my fault." Sky defended as she took her place with the other two.
"Whatever." Chris said. "Don't really care."
(Confessional: Sky)
"Last season ended on a bit of an… Awkward, note for me." Sky admitted. "And it's all Dave's fault. Hopefully, I can put that all behind me and win this time."
"Next is someone who hasn't been with Total Drama since the last time we were at this film lot: Geoff!" Chris announced.
Geoff got out of the bus and looked around.
"Dude! This is gonna be super cool!" Geoff cheered. "It'll be so weird to be here after the race though."
"What race?" Chris asked.
"I was on the Ridonculous Race. Pretty sure it's on the same channel as this show." Geoff told him.
"How do ya not keep up with this?" Chef asked Chris.
"I'm not obsessed over reality TV unlike some people." Chris answered.
"Dude, you host reality TV." Geoff pointed out.
"Shut up." Chris told him.
(Confessional: Geoff)
"It's gonna be weird to not have Brody or Bridgette here." Geoff remarked. "He's my best bud, and she's my girlfriend. I'm always around at least one of them. At least I got people I know like Owen here."
"Let's get back to the rest of these contestants. Next, it's someone who's done pretty good in both her seasons: Zoey!" Chris exclaimed.
Zoey stepped out from the bus and waved to everybody.
"Hi there." Zoey greeted the others before looking around. "Wow, I can't believe I'm at the season two movie set."
"That's nice Zoey. Please go join everyone else." Chris instructed her.
"Uh, I wasn't finished." Zoey told him.
"Too bad." Chris replied. "We've still got other people to introduce."
Zoey walked over to where the other contestants were standing.
(Confessional: Zoey)
"I like to consider myself to be pretty humble." Zoey remarked. "But… I just have to say it. I'm very confident in my chances this season. I got third place in season four, and the season after that I made the finals. I think it's safe to say I'll at least make the merge."
"Next, it's one contestant who suffered of the Total Drama curse of going bald at some point while here: Dave!" Chris announced.
Dave got out from the bus.
"Hello, Chris." Dave greeted Chris, sounding slightly angry.
"What's the matter? You sound upset about something?" Chris asked.
"I was almost killed by a psychotic robot bear thanks to you." Dave reminded him.
"Oh yeah, what fun times." Chris reminisced in a sarcastic fashion. "Anywho, have a good stay here and try not to go nuts and attempt to murder anybody again."
"Okay, first off, I wasn't trying to kill anyone, and two, it wasn't my fault." Dave defended.
"Don't care." Chris said as shoved Dave away towards the others.
(Confessional: Dave)
"Look, I get it. I did look sorta… Insane, during my last appearance on the show." Dave admitted. "But none of that would have happened if it wasn't for Sky. Whatever, this time, I'm hoping I can just forget about that and win."
"Anyway, next it's the only first generation contestant who was in All-Stars that I'm bringing back here: Lindsay!"
There was a pause as nothing happened.
"Lindsay! That's your cue!" Chris shouted into the bus.
Lindsay stepped out of the bus.
"Oh, sorry Chad." Lindsay apologized. "I didn't realize."
"How does Chad even sound like Chris at all?" Chris asked.
"What are you talking about?" Lindsay replied.
"It doesn't matter, just wait with everyone else." Chris instructed her.
(Confessional: Lindsay)
"Wow, I can't believe I've been on this show five times." Lindsay commented. "That's so cool! I hope I do better than last time though. I remembered the difference between pushing and pulling between seasons."
"After her, we've got Revenge of the Island's other, more competent jock: Jo!" Chris announcend.
Jo climbed down the stairs of the bus and looked around.
"Hmm, so this is the competition." Jo remarked. "This shouldn't be too tough."
"Getting cocky already, eh. That's never a good thing to do." Chris told her.
"Shut up, McLean." Jo replied. "What are you, my dad?"
(Confessional: Jo)
"I was taken out embarrassingly early last time I was here." Jo recapped. "But this time, things are gonna be different. I'm gonna make it to the finale, I'm gonna get that million dollars, and most importantly, I'm finally gonna get that walnut brained idiot Lightning to realize that I'm a girl!"
"Next, from Pahkitew Island, it's the nuttiest contestant this side of Izzy: Shawn!" Chris announced.
Shawn got out from the bus.
"Actually, I try to look at thing's semi-rationally now." Shawn stated.
"George Romero." Chris said
"Where?! Get away zombie lover!" Shawn exclaimed. "Uh… That didn't happen."
Shawn walked over to the others.
(Confessional: Shawn)
"Ever since I started dating Jasmine I've began loosening up about the whole zombie thing." Shawn explained. "I got rid of most of the land mines in my front yard, I threw out all the excess locks in my house, I even started eating my emergency apocalypse goods as just regular food… But I still like to keep my guard up. Just in case."
"Next, it's the nerdiest contestant to ever participate on Total Drama: Harold!" Chris announced.
Harold stepped off the bus.
"I really consider myself more of a geek." Harold commented.
"Guess what, nobody cares." Chris told him.
"Gosh, no need to be so abrasive." Harold remarked before walking over to the others.
(Confessional: Harold)
"After voluntarily quitting last time, I want to prove that I can handle myself this time." Harold said followed by a short pause. "If they didn't confiscate my nunchucks on the bus, I'd show you a cool trick right about now."
"Next, it's an All-Star finalist: Mike!" Chris announced.
Mike stepped out of the bus.
"Hey there." Mike greeted them.
"So Mike, what's it like now that you haven't got all those guys running around in your head?" Chris asked.
"Uh… It's all right." Mike replied before going over to the others.
(Confessional: Mike)
"This is the first time I've been on this show without my personalities." Mike said. "I'm going to be honest, I'm not sure how pressing a button inside my head got rid of them. But since I was chased by mutant monsters the first time I was on this show, I just learned to accept it."
"Next we got Australian outdoors survivalist: Jasmine!" Chris announced.
Jasmine ducked down to avoid hitting her head on the way out and got out of the bus.
"Well, 'ello there everyone." Jasmine greeted. "It's good to take a gander at the competition."
"Good to have you here too." Chris told her. "You freakishly tall Bee Gees fan."
"Hmm, never 'eard that stereotype before." Jasmine remarked before going over to the rest.
(Confessional: Jasmine)
"I think my time in the spotlight was cut short last time." Jasmine remarked. "This time, no overweight pageant queen's gonna get the better of me."
"Our penultimate first generation camper is a girl with an affinity for fruit themed shirts: Leshawna!" Chris announced.
Leshawna got out of the bus.
"Ya gotta problem with my shirt?" Leshawna asked.
"I just think it's a little weird that you always wear the same fruit shirt." Chris told her.
"How 'bout you just mind your own business?" Leshawna suggested to him.
"Fair point." Chris admitted.
"Good." Leshawna said before going over to the other people.
(Confessional: Leshawna)
"I was not happy at all with my elimination back in World Tour." Leshawna stated. "This time whatever happened to me then ain't happening."
"Next, it's Total Drama's favourite, and only, dirt farmer: Scott!" Chris announced.
Scott down from the bus.
"Hmmm, this'd better go better than the other times." Scott remarked.
"Don't worry, this studio is mostly shark free." Chris told him.
"Mostly?" Scott confusedly replied.
"Relax, you'll be fine." Chris said. "Probably…"
"Well, this is probably a bad way to start." Scott remarked.
Scott walked over to the other contestants.
(Confessional: Scott)
"Things are gonna be different around here." Scott told the camera. "I'm going to make it to the finale. This season needs a villain, and it's gonna be me."
"Our next contestant is someone who probably shouldn't have made it as far as she did." Chris said. "Sugar!"
Sugar got out of the bus.
"What'd ya say 'bout me!" Sugar shouted at Chris.
"Nothing." Chris quickly replied.
"Oh, all right." Sugar said.
(Confessional: Sugar)
"Can't believe they didn't like my country rap last time. Well, that ain't happenin' again." Sugar stated. "I ain't gonna get eliminated at all."
"Our final first generation contestant is someone who I'm not really sure how to introduce." Chris admitted. "It's Beth!"
Beth enthusiastically got down from the bus.
"Wow, it is so cool to be back here." Beth remarked.
"Uh… What's she doing here?" Leshawna asked.
"How's she a winner?" Jo asked.
"I was a season two finalist, remember?" Beth reminded them.
"Hmm… Musta forgot." Leshawna remarked.
(Confessional: Beth)
"Well, being forgotten probably isn't a good start." Beth commented. "But on the bright side, it can only be up from here."
"Next, is the last contestant from Revenge of the Island: Anne Maria!" Chris announced.
Anne Maria stepped off the bus.
"Okay, why's she here?" Scott asked.
"Hey! Ya gotta problem with me?" Anne Maria angrily asked.
"Well, we didn't wanna invite all the Revenge of the Island guys from All-Stars back. So to keep it different we brought in Anne Maria since we already used Brick and Dakota last season." Chris explained.
"What? Ya didn't tell me I was the backup." Anne Maria said. "Man, this already blows."
Anne Maria went over to the other contestants.
(Confessional: Anne Maria)
"'Kay, so I learned my lesson from the last time I was here." Anne Maria told the audience. "No matter how big or shiny they are, don't pick up any diamonds and quit 'cause of them."
"And last but not least we're about to meet the most evil, most dangerous, most psychotic contestant to every be on Total Drama…" Chris began. "Is what I would say if we got permission to release Scarlett from prison. Instead, here's Max!"
Max stepped down from the bus.
"Haha! Yes! Tremble before me!" Max commanded.
"Why doesn't the little guy have a neck?" Lindsay asked.
"I was just gonna say the same thing." Geoff remarked. "It's freaking me out."
"How dare you insult me!" Max exclaimed. "You'll be the first to die when I take over the world!"
"Max, you can talk later." Chris told him.
"Hmmph…" Max grumbled.
(Confessional: Max)
"They may mock my lack of a neck and purple hair now… But soon, I'll be the one laughing as they grovel at my feet!" Max declared before he began evilly laughing.
"So, we've got everyone now." Chris told the contestants. "I'm going to split you all up into teams in a moment. But first, let's have a change in setting."
Chef drove up to the contestants in a touring vehicle.
"All aboard!" Chef announced to the contestants.
The contestants got into the touring cart and took a seat. Chris climbed into the tour vehicle with them.
"All right Chef, take 'em away." Chris instructed his co-hist.
Chef nodded and started driving.
"Please take in the scenery." Chris told the contestants. "It's where you'll be staying for a good while. On the bright side, instead of the usual slimy outhouse confessional, you get the noticeably less slimy makeup room confessional."
"Ooh, this is already a great start." Lindsay remarked.
"Now, before we get to the teams it's time for me to explain more things." Chris said before turning away from the contestants. "Intern! My notepad!"
An intern went over to Chris and handed him a notebook.
"Here you go sir." The intern replied.
"Thank you." Chris said before turning to the contestants. "First news, the good old Chris McLean Invincibility Statue is back."
Chris flipped to a drawing of a bust of him made of wood in the notepad.
"If you get it, you can't be eliminated. If it looks like you're about to get the boot, just take this baby out and you get to stay for at least one more day." Chris explained. "But there's more."
He turned to a page in the notepad which featured what looked like another bust of him, this one made of stone.
"This is the Stone McLean Statue." Chris explained. "If you find this it gives you the ability to block somebody else's vote. If you think you can stay if it wasn't just by one vote, then whip this thing out. But take care, if you make a bad choice on who to block, you could still get eliminated. But wait, there's still more."
He flipped one more page to reveal another bust in his likeness. This time, made of gold.
"And finally, we have the Gold McLean Statue." Chris went on. "It gives you the ability to vote twice one time. Again, us this one carefully. Because if you use it unwisely, you might still get eliminated. Well, that's everything."
Chris threw his notepad off the vehicle.
"Ow!" Someone exclaimed from off camera. "Watch it!"
"Sorry!" Chris shouted to them. "Just remember I can probably fire you at any time!"
Just then, the vehicle came to a stop.
"All right everybody, get out." Chef told everyone.
The contestants and Chris got out of the touring vehicle in front of two trailers.
"This is where the two teams are staying." Chris explained.
"Hmmm… I've seen worse." Jasmine remarked.
"So, you're all probably wondering what the teams will be at this point, right?" Chris asked.
"Uh, I guess so." Dave replied.
"Great." Chris said. "We will be determining the teams in a captain based system. Since Lightning and Owen were the first to arrive, they get first pick."
"Oh, cool." Owen remarked.
"Sha-awesome!" Lightning cheered.
"Oh great, we let lard tub and no-brain choose teams. What could go wrong there." Jo commented.
"Not cool." Geoff told her. "And I'm not even one of the guys you just insulted."
"Anyway, once they make their first choices, the people they chose get to pick the next person for their team and so on until we run out of contestants." Chris continued to explain. "Owen, you may pick first."
"Hmm… I think I'll pick someone I know." Owen remarked. "Someone like… Harold."
"Yes." Harold quietly cheered to himself before walking up to Owen.
"Lightning, you're next." Chris told him.
"Cool." Lightning replied. "Hmm… Lightning picks Jo. Bros gotta stick together."
"I'm not even going to bother correcting you this time." Jo told Lightning as she walked over to him.
"Harold, Jo, since you've just been chosen you get to pick who comes on your team next." Chris explained to them. "Harold you go now."
"Awesome." Harold remarked. "I choose the lovely Leshawna."
"Thanks a lot." Leshawna replied as she walked over to him.
(Confessional: Leshawna)
"Seems like Harold's still got a thing for me." Leshawna remarked. "I guess I don't mind it. I just want him to know we ain't gettin' back together."
"I get to choose now, right?" Jo asked.
Chris nodded.
"Okay… Who'd be the most athletic…" Jo pondered. "I pick the tall chick with the accent?"
"You mean me?" Jasmine asked.
"Yeah." Jo replied.
"Arright." Jasmine said, walking over to her.
"Hmm, if I gotta choose next, I pick the pale freckles boy." Leshawna picked, pointing to Scott. "He looks like me might be good."
"You won't regret this." Scott told her.
(Confessional: Scott)
"She's a pretty bad judge of character if you ask me." Scott remarked. "I don't even trust me sometimes."
"Well, if I'm supposed to pick next I choose Shawn." Jasmine decided. "Is that okay?"
"Of course it is." Shawn replied before walking over to her.
"Hmm… I pick Dave." Scott decided. "He looks smart."
"Thank you very much." Dave replied.
Dave walked up to his new team.
"I think I choose Sky." Shawn decided. "I know her, and she's athletic."
"I'm just glad I don't have to share my team with Dave now." Sky commented.
"The feeling's mutual." Dave told her.
"Hem… Awkward." Chris remarked. "Uh, Dave, who do you choose?"
"Uh, Zoey." Dave picked. "She looks like she'll be good at challenges."
"How nice of you." Zoey remarked as she walked over to join her team.
"Uh… I think I'll pick Mike." Sky said. "He looks the most useful. No offence to anyone else."
"Wait what? Did you say my name?" Mike asked.
"Yes." Sky replied.
"Oh… Uh, I sort of wanted to be on a team with Zoey." Mike told her.
"Yeah, I was planning on picking him." Zoey added.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't realize that was your plan." Sky apologized.
"It's totally fine." Mike replied as he walked up to his new team. "Me and Zoey can spend some time apart. We're not one of those couples that's always keeping tabs on each other or anything."
(Confessional: Zoey)
"Obviously I can get along just fine without Mike." Zoey said. "It's just nice to have your boyfriend on your team with you. We've always sort of had an alliance together. Well technically it was mostly Mal in All-Stars… I'm getting off topic. The point is I miss him."
(Confessional: Mike)
"Being away from Zoey won't be so bad." Mike told himself. "We'll be able to talk to each other if we reach the merge. And until they I have all sorts of other people to talk to."
"All right, since I can't choose Mike I'll go for Anne Maria." Zoey picked. "At least I know her a little."
"Sheesh, It's about time somebody 'round here picked me." Anne Maria remarked as she went up to Zoey. "I've been waitin' forever."
"Well, out of everyone left I guess I choose Lindsay." Mike chose. "I sorta met her in All-Stars."
Lindsay ran up to her new team.
"Wow, it's so great to be here Mitch." Lindsay told Mike.
"Uh… It's Mike." Mike corrected.
"Oh, whoops. Sorry." Lindsay apologized.
Anne Maria looked at the remaining contestants.
"This is what I'm workin' with?" Anne Maria remarked. "Jeez, this ain't easy."
She continued to look over the remaining contestants.
"You, fat girl, what's your name?" Anne Maria asked, pointing to Sugar.
"Who're ya callin' fat!" Sugar shouted. "I'm plump at most! Get over here ya fake tanned floozy! I'll punch yer stupid face in!"
"Hmm… Like the attitude." Anne Maria remarked. "'Kay, you're in."
"Wait what?" Sugar confusedly replied. "All right."
Sugar walked up to her new team.
"Ooh! Ooh! I pick Beth!" Lindsay enthusiastically exclaimed.
"Wow, thanks!" Beth cheered as she ran up to Lindsay. "This'll be great!"
"Sugar, you now have to choose between Max and Geoff." Chris instructed her.
"I pick the short guy." Sugar decided. "I 'member that guy was hilarious!"
"How dare you laugh at evil!" Max exclaimed as he went over to his team.
"Geoff, that leaves you with the other team." Chris told him.
"I'm cool with it." Geoff replied. "I don't mind it."
"All right everyone, time for team names." Chris informed the teams. "The team consisting of Owen, Harold, Leshawna, Scott, Dave, Zoey, Anne Maria, Sugar, and Max is now known as... The Raving Writers!"
A red circle containing a quill and pen crossed with skull on top of them appeared above the new team.
"Why are you pausing?" Scott asked.
"So the editors can add in your logo in post." Chris replied. "I really thought you'd have gotten this by now."
Chris turned his attention to the other team.
"Lightning, Jo, Jasmine, Shawn, Sky, Mike, Lindsay, Beth, and Geoff. You are now... The Angry Editors!" Chris announced.
An orange circle with a strip of film being slashed through by a pair of scissors inside of it appeared above the new team.
"So, you've all been divided up." Chris said. "I'll give you all a few moments to get to know each other a bit better."
The camera focused itself on Raving Writers.
"So, this is who I'll be commanding for the next several weeks." Max remarked. "Not what I would have chose but I suppose it shall do."
"Shuddup ya muchkin!" Anne Maria yelled at him. "Your voice sounds like a cheese grater to the ear and you were chosen second to last."
"You shall be the first to fall." Max proclaimed.
(Confessional: Owen)
"Max sure is… Well, he's interesting. That's for sure." Owen remarked before giggling a little bit. "I think I'll like him after a little bit."
(Confessional: Max)
"My team seems to have very little respect for me right now." Max remarked. "I'll be sure to make them pay for that."
"You know, I think I'll end up liking most of you." Zoey commented.
"Whadda ya mean most of you. Were ya talkin' about me?" Sugar angrily asked.
"Uh, no, I was talking about Scott and Anne-" Zoey began before realizing what she was saying and throwing her hands over her mouth.
"You don't need to do that. I'm okay with it." Scott told her.
"Well I sure ain't." Anne Maria remarked.
(Confessional: Leshawna)
"I ain't really a fan of a lotta these newer guys." Leshawna admitted. "Most of 'em seem to be pretty cocky. I'll stick to the guys I know for now. Who knows though, maybe they'll grown on me."
(Confessional: Harold)
"I've weighed the strengths and weaknesses of both teams against each other." Harold stated. "We seem evenly matched but I think my team is slightly better."
(Confessional: Dave)
"I may have to put up with Max and Sugar but on the bright side I don't have to deal with Sky." Dave said.
The camera moved over to the Angry Editors.
"Hmm… So this is my team… This isn't gonna be fun." Jo remarked. "At least the midget and the giantess look like they can hold their own."
"You realize we can all hear you, right?" Beth asked.
"Oh… that was supposed to be in my head." Jo realized. "Can you all ignore that."
"It's kinda hard to, dudette." Geoff told her.
"Hang on, why should I ignore that?" Lindsay asked.
"Wait, am I the midget?" Sky asked. "I'm not that short, right?"
"It doesn't matter what I said." Jo replied. "Let's just move on."
"Sha-yeah! Let's move on like we're gonna move straight through the other team!" Lightning cheered.
"What does that even mean?" Mike asked.
"Dunno, Lightning just thought of it now." Lightning replied. "Pretty cool, right?"
"Uh… I guess so." Mike replied.
(Confessional: Jasmine)
"Being at this movie set sure is different than roughin' it out on an island." Jasmine admitted. "I'm not letting my guard down too much though."
(Confessional: Shawn)
"With me and Jasmine on this team I think we've got a pretty good shot at not losing." Shawn remarked. "I don't even know what the first challenge is and I'm already confident in saying that."
(Confessional: Mike)
"Not only do I don't have my other personalities, but I also don't have Zoey. This is pretty new." Mike admitted. "I think I can handle it though."
The camera zoomed out to show Chris between the teams.
"All right, that's enough of that stuff." Chris told the competitors. "One last thing. The trailer to the left is the girls trailer, and the trailer to the right is the boys. Understood?"
A general murmur of agreement came from the contestants.
"Great. I'll give everyone here a few moments to settle in to your living quarters." Chris told them.
(Confessional: Geoff)
"Coming back to this film studio place was kinda weird." Geoff remarked. "'Specially 'cause last time I was here I did badly. Like really, really badly. I'm hoping to do way better this time."
The scene changed to later with the girls entering their trailer.
"Wow, I forgot how nice this place is." Lindsay remarked. "Well… In comparison."
"Yeehaw! Now this is how a pageant queen lives!" Sugar cheered. "Way better than livin' in a cave."
"Oh yeah, now this is where I deserve to stay." Anne Maria said.
"I call top bunk!" Beth exclaimed. "I'm not sure which one. I just want one of them."
(Confessional: Jo)
"A lot of the girls seemed to be pretty happy with the trailer." Jo remarked. "Well, on one hand it's good to have a nice place to live. But on the other hand it'll make them become soft and less likely to take the game seriously."
(Confessional: Jasmine)
"Look, I'm arright with living in a trailer like this." Jasmine told the audience. "But I feel like my survival skills are wasted at this place."
The camera focused on Leshawna and Sky talking over by one of the beds.
"So whadda you think of this place?" Leshawana asked.
"It's nice." Sky replied. "I'm real glad I don't have to share a team with Dave."
"What's goin' on with you two? I feel like I missed a whole lotta stuff." Leshawna remarked.
"I don't wanna get into it too much." Sky replied. "The short version is, he had a thing for me, I had a boyfriend, and he didn't want to hear about it until it was way too late."
"I'm sure you'll both get over it." Leshawna told her. "Teen drama stuff doesn't last forever."
The camera moved over to Anne Maria putting some of her luggage away.
"Hmm… I hope I packed enough hair spray." Anne Maria remarked.
Lindsay and Beth approached Anne Maria from behind.
"Hey there Ally Mara." Lindsay greeted.
"Well… That's kinda close." Anne Maria remarked. "Whadda you two want?"
"Uh, I just wanted to say that your hair is really pretty." Beth told her. "I was wondering if we could be friends."
"Um, can ya both let me unpack?" Anne Maria asked. "I need my personal space, 'kay?"
(Confessional: Anne Maria)
"Just gonna say it, I ain't really sure why Beth's here." Anne Maria admitted. "She ain't that strong lookin', smart lookin', she ain't even that pretty either."
(Confessional: Beth)
"I don't wanna sound self centred or anything, but I think I can win." Beth said. "I mean, I already got to the final two once."
Elsewhere in the girls' trailer, Zoey was lying down on her bed.
"Hmm… I think I can get used to this." Zoey remarked.
Before Zoey could say anything else Sugar went over to the bed and sat down.
"Howdy, how're you doing?" Sugar asked.
"Uh… All right." Zoey replied. "What's your name again? I don't really think we met?"
"I'm Sugar." Sugar answered.
"Is that your real name, or is it a nickname?" Zoey asked.
"I dunno." Sugar admitted. "I can't really remember. I'll have to ask my ma."
"How do you not know your real name?" Zoey replied.
Sugar shrugged.
(Confessional: Zoey)
"Yeah… Sugar's weird." Zoey remarked. "She's also a little scary and I can't pinpoint why."
(Confessional: Sugar)
"I ain't here to play around." Sugar said. "It was way too embarrassin' to go home third place last time. I'm gonna win and I'm gonna use my… What's that thing called? Oh yeah, my brain."
Meanwhile, the male contestants had arrived in their trailer.
"Dude, this place is pretty sick." Geoff commented. "By this show's standards at least."
"Hmm, where's Jo?" Lightning wondered. "Shouldn't he be here?"
"He? You do realize Jo's a girl, right?" Harold questioned.
"Man, you need to get your eyes checked." Lightning told Harold. "Who'd name a girl Jo? It's like naming a boy Leslie."
"It's probably just short for Josephine or Joanne." Harold replied. "Possibly Jolene. Although that name is statistically less popular."
"Hey, nerd, it's not worth arguing with him over." Scott told him.
(Confessional: Owen)
"All the other guys seemed pretty fun." Owen remarked. "Even the ones I hadn't met. I've never really had a strategy before so I'll just stick to having fun."
(Confessional: Shawn)
"The beds look nice and cozy. But me personally, I saw a tree outside the girls' trailer that'd be nice to sleep in." Shawn admitted. "That way if anything bad happens I can grab Jasmine and get out of here."
(Confessional: Max)
"Most of my comrades seem to have skulls thicker than…" Max began, struggling for a comparison. "Something really thick… I know! A Chicago pizza! Wait… What was I talking about?"
The scene changed to Dave in a corner of the trailer by himself.
"Well… These people may not be that smart… But it could be worse." Dave commented to himself.
Just then, Mike walked up to where Dave stood.
"Hey there Dave." Mike greeted. "Why are you all the way back here?"
"I'm just waiting for everyone else to finish unpacking." Dave explained. "There's less chaos that way."
"That makes sense." Mike remarked. "Hey, I have a question that I hope isn't too personal. What was with you and Sky?
"I don't like talking about it." Dave replied. "I was sort of in love with her, she already had a boyfriend, and she never told me until it was way too late."
"Wow, I am glad me and Zoey never had to deal with anything like that." Mike remarked.
"Can you not talk about your perfect relationship in front of me?" Dave requested.
"Oh… Sorry." Mike apologized.
The camera moved to elsewhere in the trailer with Max sitting on his bed.
"Those fools… Idly sitting by while I devise a plan to destroy them all!" Max said to himself before he began laughing maniacally.
Max's laughing was cut off when Owen walked up to him.
"What do you want?" Max asked.
"Just curious if I can sleep above you." Owen explained. "Uh, all the other beds are taken. Heh heh."
"Hmmph, you had better not cross me, oaf." Max told him.
"Aw, you're so adorable when you talk like that." Owen remarked.
"Take that back!" Max snapped.
(Confessional: Owen)
"I don't know if I should be afraid of Max or not." Owen remarked. "I'm going for not."
The camera cut to a close up of some loud speakers on a long pole.
"Okay ladies and gents! That's enough getting settled!" Chris announced through the speakers. "Meet me and Chef inside the building marked number eight!"
The scene changed to the inside of an empty warehouse with Chris and Chef being the only inhabitants. The two teams entered the warehouse.
"Welcome to your first challenge teams." Chris greeted them. "Enjoying the accommodations so far?"
"OMG, It's way better than I was expecting." Lindsay remarked.
"Meh, I've seen better." Scott remarked.
"Well, despite your differing opinions, it's time for the first challenge to begin." Chris told them.
"I don't see anything in here though." Mike pointed out.
"Yeah, shouldn't there be, like… Stuff?" Geoff asked.
"Oh, you'll see." Chris replied. "Chef, my remote."
Chef handed his co-host a remote control.
"Thank you." Chris said.
Chris pressed a button on his remote. Eighteen panels in the ground near the walls of either side of the room opened up. From each panel rose a metallic chair with a large helmet with glasses resting on it. A tube connected the helmet and chair together. A larger panel in the middle of room opened. From that panel a giant metallic box with various buttons, switches, and screens on it rose.
"What the heck is this?" Zoey asked.
"It all seems very sci-fi." Shawn remarked.
"Behold, the Total Drama Virtual Reality System!" Chris announced. "All of our challenges are going to be taking place inside this machine. You strap on the helmet and are transported into whatever setting this thing is programmed to take you."
"This whole thing sounds ridiculous." Harold replied. "Yet intriguing."
"I'm not too sure about this." Beth admitted. "Isn't this whole thing kind gimmicky and silly?"
"Beth, sweet innocent Beth. You haven't been here in a while, have you?" Chris asked. "Between flying a practically broken plane, radiating an entire island, and letting a super villain run around on a mechanical island this is normal by comparison."
"Why thank you for the mention." Max remarked.
"I wasn't talking about you." Chris told Max. "Anyway, my point is this is just a stepping stone in the wall of madness that is this show."
"Okay, jeez, I got the point." Beth replied.
"Yeah, that got kinda over dramatic at the end." Jasmine added.
"Who uses stepping stones to build a wall?" Lindsay asked.
"Fine, I got a bit carried away." Chris admitted. "Long story short, I blew a lot of this season's budget on getting this machine and it's where every single one of our movie themed challenges will take place. Now, all of you get into those chairs and put on those helmets."
The contestants complied to Chris' orders and sat down in the chairs before placing the helmets on their heads.
"Lightning don't get it, is something supposed to happen?" Lightning asked.
"Give it a second." Chris told him.
Chef walked up to the machine in the middle of the room and pulled a lever sending the contestants into a virtual world.
(Confessional: Jo)
"I had no idea what to expect with that machine." Jo admitted. "All I was hoping is that it would send me somewhere full of adventure and danger."
(Confessional: Zoey)
"All I really wanted from that machine was it to take me somewhere nice and safe. Like an island resort." Zoey said.
All the contestants awoke inside the dining hall of a giant cruise ship wearing formal clothing and sitting at the tables in the room. There appeared to be no staff on the ship and in the centre of the room was a stage.
"A cruise ship? Why would Chris send us here?" Sky asked.
"Eee! My wish came true!" Lindsay squealed.
"Mine too!" Beth cheered.
"What movie is he trying to do here?" Owen wondered.
The door to the dining hall opened and Chris entered the room dressed like a ships captain.
"Hello there, passengers!" Chris greeted as he walked up to the stage.
"Why are you in here?" Leshawna asked.
"I transported myself in here to explain the challenge." Chris explained. "There's an extra seat just for such an occasion."
"So, what challenge is this?" Mike asked.
"Yeah, what movie takes place on this swanky cruise liner?" Zoey questioned.
"Have any of you seen the film The Poseidon Adventure?" Chris asked. "Maybe the 2006 remake?"
"Hmmph, I've never heard of this film." Max replied.
"Sounds familiar… I don't think I saw it though." Scott said.
"Oh no… I saw the movie… I know where this is going." Harold realized.
"What's gonna happen?" Sugar asked.
"Yeah, now I'm curious." Beth added.
"Well, for those of you who don't know, it takes place on a cruise ship. Just like this." Chris told them.
"'Kay, I like where this is going." Anne Maria remarked.
"Said cruise ship is then flipped upside down by a giant tidal wave and all those trapped inside must escape." Chris continued.
"Oh… Dammit… I take it back." Anne Maria said.
"Pretty soon, you're all gonna get flipped over." Chris explained. "Whichever team escapes the shipwreck first wins the challenge. Another way to win is if the other team is killed off entirely."
"Uh, I'm sorry, did you say killed off?!" Shawn asked, sounding panicked.
"Don't worry, if you die in the game it just takes you out of the simulation." Chris told them. "Also, unfortunately, there is no way for you to feel pain since this is all virtual. So if you get impaled it will just look awful instead of feeling awful."
"Well… This is a horrible way to start." Zoey remarked.
"Heh… Maybe it's not as bad as it sounds." Geoff hopefully suggested.
"Anywho, that wave should be here any minute now." Chris told the teams. "I'll be going now. Chef should be taking me out of the game right about… Now."
Chris was engulfed in sky blue light before disappearing entirely.
"Huh… Well we're all pretty much screwed." Jo remarked.
Well, there goes the first chapter. I still feel a little weird about coming up with this new chapter so fast. Please be sure to let me know what you think of this new series so far. If you have any predictions on who will be eliminated first or who will win let me know too. I love to hear those. I hope you like the cast. I originally wanted to include characters like Gwen, Courtney, and Alejandro but I worried that would make this cast too similar to All-Stars. I tired to avoid including All-Stars contestants as much as possible. But it was pretty much impossible for Revenge of the Island due to the small amount of characters to choose from. At first I was a little hesitant to use virtual reality in this season. It's been done in several other stories and did feel a bit too unrealistic. But after thinking about all the weird unrealistic things that are already in Total Drama. I feel like virtual reality fits in fine. But you can let me know what you think of that too. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the first chapter. I'll try to put up the next chapter soon so that I don't leave you all hanging for too long.
