"Ahem," Chris Mclean, the host of all the Total Drama seasons, said. "Welcome back to the newest season of the hottest reality show there is, Total Drama… Rebound! We're back in Pahkitew Island, though, there have been slight changes made to this place," he said, while walking through the forest. "But, that's not important. Since the last couple of seasons haven't been getting exceptional ratings, I've decided to let, you, the fans, decide on who should be returning."
"25 contestants from previous seasons have been chosen by you all to participate. Although, there will be a few new faces showing up. They will be taking the place of contestants who've bailed on me, and have said they're too 'busy' to try and fight for the chance to gain the 1 Million bucks that we're offering. But, whatever, their loss."
Chris looked up to see a jet, high up in the sky, possibly carrying all of the contestants. He hastily ran to the beach area of the island, to give them a 'warm' welcome to the island. "Welp," he said. "Looks like they're all here. Let's introduce them, shall we?"
Heather jumped out of the jet, with a parachute. Gwen, Owen, and Alejandro, were seen jumping off, afterward. They were all followed by Courtney, Duncan, Cody, and Sierra. Right after them came Trent, Izzy, Justin, Lindsay, and Eva. The second generation of Total Drama contestants who were returning, would all jump out of the jet, after the first. Zoey and Mike jumped off, holding hands, while Anne Maria went after them, glaring at them the entire time.
Right after them came the winner of Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, Cameron. Following him was the runner up, Lightning. Brick and Jo went after him. After those two, Max and Sugar, of the third generation of Total Drama contestants, jumped. Everyone either landed on the sand, close to Chris, or landed in the water, already getting wet, before any of the challenges even started.
"Now, it's time for us to introduce our new faces for this season!"
Two new people jumped out of the plane… both of them were goths.
"Welcome Ennui and Crimson to this series, everyone! You may recognize them from that one other reality show. Ridonculous Race, or whatever it was called."
The two landed on the sand and walked up to Chris, not saying anything. "So… uh… are you two going to say anything?" The couple looked at Chris, in dead silence, as if they were bored. "I'll take that as a no. But, anyway, here comes our final new challenger!"
A blonde-haired girl jumped out of the jet.
"Everyone welcome Carrie! Like the goths, she was also apart of that reality show, where she ended up in 5th place, with her best friend, Devin. But, will she be able to rank higher than that, on this show? Who knows!" Carrie landed on the sand. She made her way up to Chris. "Thank you for accepting me to join Total Drama! You'll definitely be pr—"
"With our new contestants out of the way, I'll let you all know that everything else is still the same. You all will be in a team, do challenges to win immunity for your team, or lose them to get voted off, use the confessional, etc. and etc. Rinse and repeat until there's one person left. Now, with that said, does anyone have any questions, or shall we continue onward?"
"Um, Chris," Heather said. "Will I be able to handpick my team, this time?"
"No, but on that topic, your teams have already been chosen!"
Everyone seemed a bit confused by this. Was he going to do teams based on personality, like when he did the Heroes vs. Villains theme in Total Drama: All-Stars, or was he going to do something different?
"Everyone who landed in the water go stand over there."
Everyone that landed in the water, did exactly what Chris told them to do and stood in the area he directed them to stand in. Everyone being: Gwen, Owen, Duncan, Izzy, Heather, Cameron, Jo, Lightning, Mike, Zoey, Sugar, Max, and Sierra. "Now, you all are apart of the team, 'Killer Gophers.' Everyone else, you are now apart of the team, 'Screaming Bass'. Make sure to get along, okay?"
The Screaming Bass members consisted of, Courtney, Leshawna, Anne Maria, Alejandro, Justin, Eva, Trent, Scott, Lindsay, Carrie, Cody, Crimson, Ennui, and Sky. "Wait a second," Sierra interjected. "Cody and I aren't on the same team?! This has to be a mistake! Chris, this is a mistake, right?"
Confessional: Cody
"Although I do like Sierra, I feel like us being on different teams will be beneficial towards both of us. Y'know, so neither of us get distracted."
"I agree with crazy girl," Alejandro stated. "I demand to be on the same team as Heather," he said, with his arms crossed. He winked at Heather, who responded by giggling.
"No, this is not a mistake. All teams are final. No amount of begging can change my mind. Just deal with this formation until the merge and then you can do whatever you want, with whoever you want. Now, follow me. I'll show you around. This is a new island, for most of you, after all."
Sierra was on the verge of tears, hearing the fact that her and her crush will be on opposing teams, until further notice.
"Not fer me!" Sugar said to herself and giggled.
"Yes, yes, now let's hurry along. Evil does not have all day," Max said.
"I agree, little man, let's go!" Lightning commented.
Confessional: Gwen
"Wow, okay, I told myself that I wouldn't come back to this show. I guess a million dollars can really affect how someone's thinking, huh?"
Gwen sighed. "I see that Trent's also back… I'm honestly just glad we're both on opposite teams, everything'll be less awkward for the both of us. But did you guys see those new goths?"
Confessional: Trent
"So, uh, I see that Gwen's back," Trent said, awkwardly scratching his head.
Confessional: Lindsay
"I heard that Chad wasn't able to make another season of this show for a long time because he was stuck in Summer Camp. I wonder if it's true."
Confessional: Eva
"The last time I competed on this stupid show was the first season. My idiotic teammates voted me off early, but that won't happen this time." She clenched her fist. "This time, I'm in it, to win it."
Chris led everyone to an area with four cabins. "Remember when I said there have been slight changes to this island? Yeah, well the producers didn't like the contestants making their own shelters, so we were forced to provide for them. The two cabins on the left are the Screaming Bass', while the other two are the Killer Gophers'. This goes for both teams; one cabin will be for the girls, while the other will be for the boys."
"Oh yeah, sure," Jo said, irritated. "Let the girls live with the girls, don't allow any diversity."
"I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want creepy, old Duncan over here staring at me, while I sleep," Courtney responded. "Hey!" Duncan yelled. "Ooh, Chris," Owen yelled while raising his hand. "Do we still have a Main Lodge or will we have to find food by ourselves?" He put his hand on his belly. "My tummy's aching for food!" As soon as he said that, his belly began to rumble, not because he was hungry, though. Soon after, he released a fart, causing all of the campers around him to start coughing and gagging.
Anne Maria used her hair-spray and angrily sprayed Owen with it, as some sort of retaliation, making him cough and gag. This backfired, as Owen farted more, causing everyone to cough and gag… once again. Anne Maria fell down while coughing. "Need any help?" Justin asked her, offering to help her get up. She blushed slightly at this.
Confessional: Anne Maria
"Wow, what a gentleman. Mike and I are over!"
"Yes, there is a Main Lodge, Owen. That's not important, though. Why? Because we'll be starting the first ever challenge of this season! The rules are simple. Follow the rules of this challenge. The winning team will gain immunity, while the losing team will have to attend the bonfire ceremony and vote off a member of their team. Sounds good? Good. Now go put your things inside the cabins, and meet me here in five."
Once everyone did what Chris told them to do, they met up with him. They all stood there, waiting for Chris to announce what the challenge would be. Minutes would go by and he wouldn't say anything. "So, uh, what's the challenge, Chris?" Mike asked. "Yeah," Zoey said in agreement. "we've been waiting here for a few minutes." Everybody seemed to agree with her. "Sheesh, teenagers sure are impatient. But, I'm getting tired of waiting too. Chef, hurry up with setting up the challenge, already!"
"We finished setting it up before the contestants even arrived," Chef said, walking up to Chris. "Oh," Chris said, before he chuckled. "I'll explain the challenge to you all, now."
Chris led them to a spacious area. "Okay, so, we've gathered a bunch of logs and placed them over there, some sharp shark teeth, as well as some small sticks inside that cave. There will be three stations. The first station will carve a sculpture from the log of their choice, with the shark teeth. After the sculpture is finished, they will run over to the cave, and tell the members of their team that are stationed there, to make their way outside. The stationed members must make a torch out of one of the sticks. The person holding the torch has to walk five steps and pass it to the member next to them. If the torch's flame is extinguished, you must go to the back of the cave, make a new torch and restart."
"What about the third station? You said there would be three stations," Heather interrupted.
"Let me finish, Heather," Chris said, while Heather rolled her eyes. "Once the second station in the team is outside, they must pass on their torch to their team members in the third station. The person holding the torch must walk five steps and pass it onto the member next to them, and make their way up to the wood sculpture. Once again, if the torch is extinguished, the second and third stations must restart. However, if the torch doesn't extinguish, the member holding the torch must set the sculpture on fire. First team to do this, wins the challenge."
"Ooh, me!" Izzy yelled while waving her hands up in the air. "I'll be apart of the first station! I've made my fair share of wood sculptures."
"Actually, Izzy, we've already chose who'd be in what station. The members of the Screaming Bass that are in station one are as followed: Courtney, Ennui, Crimson, Sky, and, Trent. The people that are in station two are: Eva, Alejandro, Leshawna, Scott, and, Carrie. Finally the people that are in the third station are: Anne Maria, Cody, Justin, and, Lindsay."
He turned to the other team. "As for the Killer Gophers," he said. "The ones that'll be in the first station—heh, did you see what I did there?—will be Zoey, Mike, Sugar, Cameron, and, Gwen. Max, Sierra, Brick, and Owen, will all be in the second station, while Duncan, Heather, Izzy, Jo, and, Lightning, will be waiting for them, in the third station. With that said, everyone, get to your stations!"
"Guess we're on the same team and in the same station, huh. Don't mess this up for me," Eva told Leshawna. "Girl, you better back off, or I'll beat you, like I did to Heather, in World Tour," she responded. Heather squinted her eyes at Leshawna, angrily.
"I'm glad I'm not on the same team as them," Cameron muttered. "Ugh, tell me about it," Heather said.
"You two, follow me, we'll try finding a good log," Courtney said, pointing at Crimson and Ennui. "And, you two," she continued, pointing at Trent and Sky, this time. "Get some shark teeth, try to come up with a design we can carve."
"Make sure you think of something cute like maybe a rotting skull," Crimson told Sky and Trent. "I agree," Ennui stated. "Think about a killer rabbit, or something." Both of them spoke in a slow, enigmatic voice. "Sure, sure, now let's hurry up!" Courtney grabbed Crimson's hand and ran towards the logs, while Ennui followed them.
"So," Trent said, trying to find a sharp shark tooth. "I watched last season of Total Drama. You want to be an Olympian in the future?" Sky picked up a tooth. "Yeah, I do," she stated. "It's because my sister is my role model and she almost made it onto the Canadian Olympic team for rhythmic gymnastics. You want to become a musician, right?"
"Yup. I'm guessing you watched the previous seasons?"
"I did. A couple of my friends were obsessed with you, haha. But, anyway, what made you decide you wanted to be a musician?" Sky asked.
"Well…" Trent said.
Gwen unwillingly eavesdropped on their conversation. She seemed a bit irritated.
Confessional: Gwen
"Okay, first day back on this stupid show and Trent's already flirting with another girl?!" She then realized how mad she sounded and blushed out of embarrassment. "Uh, I mean, I don't care that he's flirting with someone, it's just that he's doing it on the first day."
She pretended to act shocked and gasped. "Oh my god, could they be starting an alliance? I can't believe them," she said, while trying to act mad about that.
"Gwen," Mike said. "Stop looking at the other team and help us look for a log!"
"Oh, alright!"
"Who will be the first person to be eliminated in this season? Which team will win this challenge? Who will win the million dollars? Will Gwen regret breaking up with Trent in Total Drama: Action? Stay tuned to find out what happens next time, on Total Drama: Rebound!"
