Author's Note: Hello. This is my first story I've ever written on this site. Please enjoy Total Drama All-Stars Redux!
"Hello and welcome to Total Drama All-Stars Redux!" Chris said to the camera in an upbeat tone. "I'm doing this season again due to the massive complaints like 'wasted characters' and 'rushed/wasted story-lines,'" he grimaced slightly while saying those last few words.
"Anyway," he continued, ignoring that laps in his friendly/sadistic persona. "I'm changing a few things: there are no Total Drama Revenge of the Island campers. Not to mention a whole 26 episodes this season. That's right, I'm going for the whole she-bang, and you're coming along for the ride too! Without further ado, let's meet our All-Stars!"
Right as he said this one of the veteran contestants arrived.
"Hello Bridgette!" She looked up at Chris, eyes widened, and immediately tried to swim back to the boat. She was stopped only by two beefy interns.
"Hi Chris," she spat. "I was told that I was staying for a surfing competition."
"There's a beach," he responded, remembering fondly to when she first arrived in season one. "Anyway, please stand on the left of the dock."
"Right." She then resignedly walked over to where Chris had told her to stand.
"After that cheerful reunion," Chris paused, waiting for the laughs at home. "I'd like to have you meet one of the contestants from All-Stars: say hello to Sierra!"
The hyperactive fan girl leapt off the boat, past the two interns, and went straight up to Chris.
"Sierra, back away."
"Oh, sorry Chris," she said giggling, "I'm just so excited to be here! How thrilled were you when you found out, Bridgette?"
"Enthralled," Bridgette deadpanned.
"Oh," Sierra responded sobered. "Is Cody going to be here? It's been a whole two days! I sure hope so since half of the cast for All-Stars is being replaced by veterans!"
Chris seemed hesitant to answer Sierra's question. "Sierra please stand on the right side of the dock. In the meantime, I'd like to introduce our next camper, Noah!"
Noah stepped off the boat in a timely, bored manner. "Hi."
"Hey Noah!" Sierra replied zealously.
"Way to vamp up the energy, dude." Chris said, annoyed.
"Whatever."
"Noah, just go stand next to Bridgette."
"After that exciting return," Chris looked at the camera saying this. "Let's give a hearty welcome to a hearty guy, to say the least. Say hello to Owen!"
"Hi guys! It's so great to be back."
"I can understand it with Sierra, but how can you say you're glad to be back?" Bridgette asked in pessimistic awe.
"I just have such great memories-"
"Like that time you got kicked out of a plane?" Noah interjected
"Noah! It's so great to see you, man!" Owen flashed over to Noah and gave him a rib crushing hug.
"Great to see you too, please let me breathe!" Noah wheezed.
"Owen please stand next to Sierra." Chris interrupted.
"Okay!"
"Alright, let's say hello to one of our most villainous contestants in Total Drama history! Say hello to Heather!" Chris motioned toward the approaching boat.
"Ugh, it's you." Heather looked at Chris in disgust. "I suppose those two interns are going to keep us from escaping?"
"That, and your contracts." Chris smiled at Heather. "Now, please go and join Bridgette and Noah."
"No!"
"Why, Chris, why?"
"Gee, thanks for the warm welcome."
"Alright then," Chris went on, amused at the three's bickering. "Another one of our former All-Stars is on the horizon!"
Gwen had arrived at the dock. She saw Chris and the other contestants. She was then forcibly removed from the boat.
"No way, lying about this being an art convention is a new low for you, Chris." Gwen looked at her fellow campers and sighed.
"Oh, Gwen it's like you don't know me." Chris was smirking at her misfortune. "Please join Sierra and Owen."
"Could be worse," Gwen responded as she headed over to her new teammates.
"On to our next returnee; let's welcome our resident delinquent, Duncan!"
"Hey Chris." Duncan said irked.
"Doesn't it feel great to be back?"
"I'm only here because I'd go back to jail otherwise."
"Noted, please join Bridgette's team."
"Alright, we've introduced half of our campers and-"
"Hi Chris!"
"Oh, uh, hi Lindsay."
"It's just so great to be back, hi guys!" Lindsay waved to everyone with varying reactions: Owen waved enthusiastically back while Heather scowled.
"Lindsay, please join Sierra's team."
"Okay!"
"Ahem, after that, er, sudden arrival," Chris was still pondering how Lindsay managed to show up. "I'd like to introduce our lovable, animal-killing friend DJ!"
"Hey guys." DJ said nervously.
"Don't worry DJ, we don't have any animals here for you to slaughter," Chris said mockingly.
"Shut up man, that was a long time ago."
"Whatever, go join Bridgette's team."
"Alright."
"Next up, say hello to…Harold!"
Harold, having heard his introduction, asked "What? Why don't I get anything to describe me?"
"I thought you wouldn't hear, and I don't care."
"Gosh! Thanks for being considerate, Chris."
"You're welcome Harold, now please join Sierra's group of freaks."
"Hey!" Everyone on Sierra's team shouted.
"Next up is possibly the most hated contestant out of the veterans-" Chris began.
"It's Courtney." Gwen interjected, annoyed. Clearly she was still upset how Courtney threw away their newly found friendship in an attempt to win the last All-Stars.
"You're correct Gwen, now stop interrupting me." Chris frowned at Gwen.
Courtney, as if cued, had stepped off her boat and trudged to Bridgette's side.
"Uh, Courtney? I haven't given you your team yet." Chris told Courtney, confused.
Courtney turned, in a slow, depressed state, to Chris. "Isn't it obvious? You're doing heroes versus villains again, and I'm a villain."
Confessional #1
"I have to admit, I was glad to see Courtney all depressed and beaten. After everything she put me through, she deserves it."—Gwen
"Wait, does this mean I'm a villain?!" Bridgette and DJ sked simultaneously.
"Yep! Bridgette, you cheated on your boyfriend on international television while DJ and had an illegal alliance with Chef and killed multiple animals!" Chris sadistically took delight in describing their faults.
"I made up with Geoff!"
"I was coerced into that alliance and haven't harmed an animal since season three!"
"Yeah, yeah we ran out of 'villainous' contestants, okay?"
"Ugh."
"Fine."
"Moving on, let's say hello to our biggest and loudest veteran, LeShawna!"
"Hey, everybody!"
Confessional #2
"Yes! LeShawna's back. This is the perfect opportunity to get her to fall for me! I've waited so long for this day!"—Harold
"LeShawna, you can join Sierra's team."
LeShawna walked over to her new teammates. She stopped next Harold.
"Hey LeShawna." Harold said blushing.
"Hey Harold. How have you been?" She looked at him amused.
"Oh, nothing much."
"Hmm."
"Right everyone, we only have two contestants left," Chris seemed to be relieved with this news. "I'd like everyone to welcome our possibly perfect male veteran, Alejandro!"
"Fuck!" Bridgette shouted. "Fuck you Chris!"
"Bridgette, shut up."
Alejandro had arrived at this point. He took a quick survey of the crowd, and lit up when he saw Heather.
"Hello Heather." He smiled at her. He looked at Bridgette, frowning. "And others."
"Go away, prick." Alejandro merely looked with distaste at Bridgette before asking Chris: "So, which team am I on?"
"Well, since you and Bridgette are so chummy—"
"Shut up Chris." Bridgette spat at him.
"You're on the same team!" Chris theatrically grinned at everyone. Bridgette and Alejandro merely glared at him.
"Any who, after that cheery reunion I'd like to everyone to say hello to one of our more forgotten contestants—"
"Then why are they on the show?" Lindsay, surprisingly intelligently, inquired.
"Because I said Lindsay, now shush!" Chris regained his composure before addressing the camera once more. "Say hello to Trent!"
Trent hopped off the dock, wearily passed the neglected interns, and stopped by Chris.
"Hey Trent, how's it hanging?"
"Pretty good, Chris." Trent looked at his fellow campers. "Hey Guys."
"Hey Trent." Most responded.
"So, what team am I on?" Trent sized up each one with an interested eye.
"Oh, you can go and stand right next to your good old pal Gwen." Gwen and Trent rolled their eyes.
"Please Chris," Gwen stated tiredly. "You can't any more drama from us. We're just friends."
"Well Gwen, that is true," Sierra interrupted. She, along with most of the other contestants had been quiet. "However, I've observed your recent on-screen and off-screen interactions with Trent and my analysis states that you two act somewhat awkwardly around each other." She finished off her thought with a little nod.
"Thanks Sierra, that's…worrying." Trent said, wondering what she meant by "off-screen".
"Alright then, let's move over to the mess hall." Chris said, trying to get the show along.
Confessional #3
"I'm so excited to be back! I'm going to prove the other veterans that I'm smart. I'm also not going to get kicked off first!"— Lindsay
Confessional #4
"I hate that I was tricked into coming back for another season! Fuck Chris and this show. All it's given me is a shitload of grief and an awful reputation."—Bridgette
The campers poured into the mess hall. Naturally, they divided into their teams. Looks of hate and animosity littered the air.
"Hey campers!" Chris shouted as he walked in. Everyone stayed silent. Unfazed, he went on with his spiel. "Let's start out with team names, shall we? Sierra, Owen, Gwen, Lindsay, Harold, LeShawna, and Trent you guys are the 'Heroic Hawks'!"
Confessional #5
"It's better than Hamsters."—Sierra
"On the other side of the coin, Bridgette, Noah, Heather, Duncan, DJ, Courtney, and Alejandro are once again the 'Villainous Vultures'!" No one seemed to react to this, so Chris just told everyone to meet him at the cliff in about fifteen minutes.
As everyone left the mess hall, Courtney tapped Gwen on the shoulder. "Hey, Gwen—"
"Fuck off, Courtney."
"Oh, okay." With that she dejectedly headed off to the villains' cabin.
LeShawna, who'd seen that little exchange walked up to Gwen. "Gwen, why are you still sore with Courtney? It was a year ago."
"Look LeShawna, imagine someone who shoved you off a plane for kissing her boyfriend made up with you only to toss you aside for money came crawling up to you asking for forgiveness. Would you take them back?"
"Well Gwen, when you put it like that —"
"Exactly."
"Well cheer up, girl. She's on the other team. Maybe she'll be the first they vote out."
"Yeah, maybe."
"Come on, let's go pick bunks."
Meanwhile, in the female's side of the Villainous Vultures' cabin, Heather was analyzing Courtney and Bridgette's behavior.
Confessional #6
"What is up with Bridgette? She's generally such a laid back push-over. And Courtney's acting, like, so depressed and everything. What gives?"—Heather
"So guys, what's up?" Heather asked Bridgette and Courtney.
"Well, pretty much everyone here hates me, or is at least weary of me. I wouldn't of even shown up if wasn't for that contract we all signed in season one." Courtney tiredly responded.
"You're spot on Courtney." Bridgette told her. "Do you want to know why I'm acting so aggressively?" Bridgette directed this at Heather, but Courtney responded.
"Alejandro."
"Again, spot on Courtney," Bridgette replied. She then turned towards Heather. "Your boyfriend is a complete asshole."
"Well, if it makes you feel any better, we've put our relationship on hold during competitions. It takes a lot of stress off of us." Heather told Bridgette.
"Whatever, let's head up to the cliff. With luck, I can shove that bastard off."
"Less competition for me,"
"You're so caring Heather."
"Thanks, Bridgette."
Confessional #7
"Yep. We definitely belong on the villainous team."—Courtney
While this was going on, Owen was lamenting to Trent about a little crisis.
"Dude think about it," Owen told Trent. "I've been in almost every season, yet I'm the fat guy who always makes fart jokes. Then look at Heather, she went from being really mean, then to sort of mean, and then not very mean. Heck, we even rooted for her in season three!"
"Yeah man, it must suck being viewed as a stereotype." Trent patted Owen on the shoulder. "Hey, at least everyone likes you."
"Yeah that's nice."
"Well, we might as well head up to the challenge." With that, Trent and Owen began to walk up the cliff.
Back at the villains' cabin, Noah was quietly discussing with DJ about whether or not the two should form an alliance.
"I don't know man," DJ rubbed his neck nervously. "It's a risky move, especially early on."
"Look DJ, Alejandro and Duncan were just now walking out as though they were best friends. They could easily be in an alliance. What's more, it would take the two of them five minutes to get Heather and possibly Courtney on their side. Then, they'd have the majority and would get rid of us and Bridgette in a flash." Noah finished with an expectant look on his face.
"Alright, I'll consider it." DJ quickly left Noah for the cliff. With a shrug, Noah followed him.
At this point almost everyone had reached the meeting point for the challenge. That was everyone except for Sierra and Lindsay.
"Uh, Sierra?" Lindsay asked hesitantly. Sierra had been poking through Gwen and LeShawna's bags. "I don't think that the two of them will be happy to find out you've been messing with their stuff."
"Relax, it's only to help me with the game," Sierra impatiently told Lindsay. "I think it's safe to tell you that."
"Wait, you use looking at and analyzing everyone's belongings as a strategy?" Lindsay looked both confused and disturbed, and then she realized something else. "Wait, you think it's safe to tell me?"
Sierra had been expecting this comment to fly over her head. Thinking on the spot, she stated: "Yeah! I was wondering if you wanted to be in an alliance."
"An Alliance!" Lindsay was about to jump at the offer, until she remembered what Heather did to her in season one. "You're not going to make me into your personal slave and eliminate me when you don't need me anymore, right?"
"Don't worry Lindsay, I'm not Heather."
"Well then sure! I'd be happy to join."
"Good, I guess. Let's head up to the challenge: I think we're late." Sierra, slightly surprised with what the conversation became, and Lindsay pleased with the turnout walked towards the cliff.
Chris then appeared in a camera room. He paused Lindsay and Sierra on the monitor and turned towards the camera.
"Well! That was one heck of an episode. Gwen hasn't forgiven Courtney which is partially why Courtney is acting so depressed. Bridgette's changed quite a bit, still bitter over what Alejandro did to her in season three. Meanwhile, Owen seems tired of being known as 'The Fat Guy'. This isn't to mention Noah trying to convince DJ to team up with him in an alliance after seeing Alejandro and Duncan acting chummy. Finally, Sierra and Lindsay accidentally formed an alliance! Who knew? See how all of this and more plays out next time on Total Drama All-Stars Redux!
Author's Note
Tumble1980: Well, that's episode (or chapter) one of my first fan-fiction! I'm proud to announce that fact. I'm glad that this will be twenty six episodes (chapters). I'll have a lot more time to focus on character and story arcs. Hopefully, all of these characters will have some sort of development before they get eliminated. Thanks for reading and please review. Any type of praise or criticism is helpful!
