[New fic time! ^~^ This one is going to be an ode to one of my favorite reality shows of all time. It's called 13: Fear is Real. Thirteen people go around the country, going to the scariest places in America. One of them gets their hands on a special box, claiming themselves as the "killer". The killer can eliminate anyone of their choosing three times. All they need to do is find a way to be alone with them, and "kill" them with whatever weapon is in the box. In this one, they'll be using the TD Plane, and will be going all around the world! More details will be told as the show goes on, but I'm really excited for this fic. Hope you enjoy it!]

Chris stands in front of the Total Drama plane, formerly used on Total Drama World Tour. He stretches his arms up, shouting to the audience. "Last season on Total Drama; We had our contestants in Alcatraz! They were prisoners, going through a series of challenges, ending in an escape! Dawn won, Mike almost died, and another million was rewarded! It was our best season yet, but I'm prepared to top it! This season, we'll be going to some of the creepiest, most horrifying places on earth! Ghosts, murders and pitch black nights! Time to get our thirteen contestants spooked! This is Total Drama Fear is Real!"

The theme begins to play. As the normal song goes, the thirteen contestants are shown in flashes of twelve different places. Among the places in the opening song are a dark island, an abandoned-looking school, a hospital, and a small cabin in a field.

"Welcome back!" came the host's voice. He is now standing next to a darkly colored bus, looking directly into the camera. "We're about to meet this season's thirteen contestants! They're boxed into the bus, and can't even see each other! I have them blindfolded! Mehehe... But first, let me explain how things are going to work!"

After this sentence, he grabs a microphone. He explains that what he says will now be heard by the contestants in the bus, and then proceeds.

"Hidden on the plane somewhere is a box! This box contains three items that can be used to kill any contestant of their choosing! The killer, who's going to be one of the thirteen you'll see now, will be hidden from everyone, including you at home, until I decide you should know who they are! He or she will have the ability to kill off a contestant of their choosing, but should be careful to do it alone, and not tell anyone! If they are found out, they're automatically sent to the Execution Ceremony! If the accuser gets it wrong, they are sent! That's where we decide who will be leaving. Each episode, we'll be at a new, terrifying location! There will be a challenge, and the two losers will be sent for execution! The loser of the ceremony's challenge will be killed off!"

The door to the bus creaks open, and Chris grins. "First, I'll be introducing the members of our original cast that'll be joining us! Tyler, Courtney, Geoff, Justin, Lindsay and Izzy! C'mon out!"

The six aforementioned veterans of Total Drama walk out of the bus, towards the plane. Chris walks around, removing their blindfolds.

"Welcome back to the game, guys!"

Tyler's face brightens happily as he sees his girlfriend. "Hey, Lindsay! You're here too?"

She blankly looks at the boy, tilting her head. "Oh, hey Duncan! Nice to see you!"

The male teen blinks, shaking head. "No, babe! It's me! Tyler!"

In return, she gasps. "Tyler is here?! Where?!"

Chris is laughing at this, looking back to the bus. "Next, one of the two characters that were introduced in Total Drama World Tour! Alejandro!"

The Latino steps from the bus, and Lindsay, Courtney and Justin all look at him.

Lindsay blushes, folding her hands. "Oh, I remember you... Alejandro..."

Courtney looks at him for a split second, before looking away. "Hmph!"

Justin blinks, tilting his head slightly. "Wow, someone who's almost as hot as me... Almost."

Alejandro looks at the male model, shaking his head. "Almost, mi amigo? I agree. You are quite the charming young man."

"Flattery..." came the response. "I like it."

Chris watches as more teens exit the bus. "Now, from Revenge of the Island! Scott and Lightning!"

Taking off their blindfolds, the two look at the revealed contestants.

"Not a bad cast," said Scott, admiring the competition. "I might have fun here."

"It don't matter! Y'all are gonna get struck by The Lightning! Sha-Bam!" came the jock's overconfident speech.

"From Pahkitew Island, Scarlett, Max and Sugar!"

The announced teens walk from the bus.

Max whimpers at the sight of Scarlett, backing up. He then straightens himself up, clears his throat and says his catchphrase. "Ah, this is an easy season for me to win! Prepare to evil!"

The female rolls her eyes, smirking at the *evil genius*. "Calm down, Max. I have gone through forced therapy, and am not evil anymore. There is no reason to fear me."

"Fear you?" came Max's reply. "Last season was a rouse! I would have won, if not for you! I am merely keeping my distance for my own sake!"

"And lastly, a returning contestant from Total Drama Haunted Horror! It's Amber!"

The dark haired, relatively new contestant walks into the crowd of twelve, making it thirteen. She smirks, shaking her head. "Good to be back, Chris..."

"No zombie man? No wizard? At least the evil genius is back! I hope I'm on his team!" said Sugar as the final contestant walks from the bus.

"Woah, woah!" said Chris, shaking his head. "Who said anything about teams?! This is a free-for-all season! Of course, walking in packs of two or three is suggested, because this is going to be the most intense season yet!"

"Chris?" came Courtney's voice immediately after. "While we were on the bus, you mentioned how we would be killed..? You didn't mean literally... Did you?"

The host rolled his eyes at the naive girl. "Do you guys actually think I'm coldhearted enough to kill you? As much as I would like you, deaths mean no paychecks, and more lawsuits! So, no. No real dying."

The questioner takes a breath of relief at this.

"Now, onto the plane! We'll be taking off within the hour, and we still need to get the killer system set up! I wonder which one of you it'll be..."

Moments later, the cast is walking their way up into the plane.

The interior is much different from how it looked in World Tour. Everything was more darkly themed, and it seems to be in more disrepair than it was before.

The camera switches between different parts of the plane. Behind the counter in the former first-class area, a small box is seen. It's noticeable quite easily, as it was planned by Chris.

The host leads them through the plane. "I'm sure you all either remember this from being in the season or watching it. I don't think I'll need to remind you of how it works. Except this time, there is no first class. Because you won't be sleeping on the plane! Every time you sleep, it will be in one of our locations!"

This issues a few complaints from the contestants, but this is swiftly interrupted by the sound of the plane's engines. They have taken off, and are going towards their first destination.

Chris sends the thirteen teens on their way to explore the plane.

Amber quickly walks up to Courtney. "Court... Hey. Look, I want to apologize about what happened between Gwen and I in the haunted house..."

Surprisingly, the response was warm and caring. "Don't worry about it, Amber. The betrayal was Gwen's. Not yours."

Amber smiles, leaning in closer and whispering. "Look... Chris himself said we should stick together. Would you like to be in a small alliance with me..?"

Courtney raises a brow at the suddenness. But she nods. "I would love to. As long as... We get one more girl in on it. If you become the killer, it'll be far to easy for me to be taken out."

The girl looks down, shrugging. "That sounds like a plan, then. But who..?"

The two girls think about this, and the camera switches to the area where the box was hidden.

The camera zooms into the box. It's been opened, and it is void of any contents. Someone had opened it.

Confessional - Killer: "This was way too easy! It was just left there, and breaking the lock was easy as pie!"

Back in the common area, Amber and Courtney walk towards Lindsay.

"Hey, girl..." said Amber, somewhat flirtatiously. "We have a proposition for you."

"A what?" cluelessly asked the blonde. "Is that some sort of fish? I'm sorry, I don't eat vegetables."

"We want you to join a pack with us. If we stay in a group of three, there's no way the killer can get to us!" came Courtney's confirming speech.

The dumb blonde nods, looking at the pair. "Uhh... Okay! As long as I don't have to eat any vegetables!"

Amber and Courtney look at each other, hoping they made the right choice.

In the room over, Justin and Alejandro sit on the coach benches, talking strategy.

"Amigo, I watched you in Total Drama Action. Absolutely your best performance. Sad that you were betrayed by Courtney."

"And I watched you in World Tour. Very impressive." came Justin's reply.

"I do believe we would make a good team..." said Alejandro.

"A team of two? Is that a smart idea? What if one of us gets the box..?"

Alejandro reaches his hand to Justin, taking a gentle breath. "I have been known for many things on this show, but never have I lied. And I promise you, if I get the death box, I will not kill you, as long as we are in an alliance."

Justin hesitantly shakes the hand, looking his new partner in the eyes. "And I swear the same."

Tyler sits in the other coach bench across the room. He looks to his left, seeing Max and Lightning.

"You know, you would make an amazing evil sidekick!"

"Lightning doesn't do evil! Or side kicking! I kick in the front, or not at all! Maybe kick some butt, while I'm at it!"

Max gives him an odd look, raising a brow.

To Tyler's left, Izzy is seen hanging from the ceiling of the plane, talking to Scarlett.

"So, you're evil, huh? Fun! Hehe..." said Izzy to the other, smirking.

"No, I am not evil. But you are very crazy..." Scarlett replied.

"I know, right? I'm crazy good at this game! Two seasons in a row, I came back after being eliminated!"

The genius girl pulls on Izzy's arm, and she falls to the floor. "Beat it, psycho."

Into the room comes Sugar. She's frantically looking around, seeming to be panicking. "Awh, man!" she said, crossing her arms. "No wizard?! But I need him to help me this season! He and I would make the best team!"

Coming from the other side, Geoff and Scott walk into the room. They look pale, as though they're utterly terrified.

"Guys..." began Geoff. "This is totally not cool..."

"What's not, bro?" asked Tyler, tilting his head in a stupor.

"Someone took the box!" yelled Scott loudly, panting.

"Someone.." started Courtney, looking around at everyone in the room as she enters with the other two girls in her alliance.

Geoff scans the room firmly, looking everybody in the eyes before walking right to the middle of the room. "I have my eye on each and every one of you..." he mumbled, looking around the room one last time, before meeting eyes with Alejandro.

The Latino gives a light grin, raising a brow. "Be careful, Geoff. Acting so strong is a sure way for the killer to think you're up to something..."

Just then, Chris' voice blared over the intercom system of the plane. "Attention, passengers! We are now descending into our first destination. Poveglia, Italy! An island off of Venice, which has been closed off from the general public for years! It is said that over one hundred thousand people died here! Mehehe..."

The intercom cuts out, and the contestants are left to themselves.

"Did he say... One hundred thousand?" asked Courtney, shaking lightly.

Scott nodded, walking over to her. "Yeah, he did..."

Lightning shrugged, walking out of the room. "Oh well! Lightning's got to get ready for this. It's gonna rock!"

Alejandro rolled his eyes, watching Lightning go.

Confessional - Alejandro: "Rule one of a horror movie, mi amigo... Never go alone."

The camera follows Lightning, as he walks to his bag. He grabs a tub of protein powder, and turns around.

Someone is facing him, but they are hidden from the camera's view.

"What are you doing here?! C'mon, we need to go!" said Lightning.

Immediately, the jock's eyes widen. He backs up slightly. "No way... You?! You're..?!"

A quick yell of pain is heard from Lightning. A needle is seen in his arm, most likely knocking him out. He is then left there, and the door to the room is closed.

From the cockpit, Chris is chuckling and watching the cameras. "Man, I never thought they would use the first one that early! And on an idiot?! Really?! Oh well! That's all we have time for in this episode! Meet us back here next week on Total Drama Fear is Real!"
