Note: Well, I love Total Drama Island and Total Drama Action so much I decided to do my own alternate universe of season two! I understand that over fourteen episodes of the real TDA have already been aired, but it doesn't really matter to me. So please, review, and I hope you enjoy!
Total Drama Action: Day 01 Part 1: Curse of the Gilded Chris
Chris Maclean stood in front of a large movie lot with a large smile on his face. "Welcome everyone!" he greeted, looking at the camera. "We're about to launch the second season of television's favorite reality show, Total Drama Island!"
The camera's view widened so the whole set could be seen behind the self obsessed host. "It's only been a week since the first season's end and our fourteen lucky contestants are ready to return to fight for some more cash!" Chris continued happily. "Here's the deal, our fourteen contestants will be competing in movie based challenges, against each other for the prize of one million dollars!"
Chris raised his hands in the air for effect. "Who do you think will walk home with the money?" the host asked the viewers at home. "Will it be Goth girl Gwen, overeater Owen, queen bee Heather, bad boy Duncan, loud mouth LeShawna, party boy Geoff, the crazy girl Izzy, gentle giant DJ, dumb blonde Lindsay, surfer girl Bridgette, cool guy Trent, the dork Harold, geeky girl Beth or male model Justin?"
Chris lowered his hands as he listed this season's contestants. "It could be any of them, but there's only one way to find out," he said excitedly. "Grab a snack and a drink, a comfortable spot on that couch and stay tuned for the beginning of…Total….Drama…ACTION!"

So pack your bags. Cause' I've already won.
Everythin' I proved Nothin' in my way,
I'll get that one day,
Cause' I wanna be famous.
Na na nanana na na na na nana na na nana na na
Na na nanana na na na na nana na na nana na na (I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous)
Na na nanana na na na na nana na na nana na na (I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous)
(Whistling till' the end)

A large bus pulled up in front of a huge, but abandoned movie back lot. The bus came to a stop and the door opened. Then, fourteen familiar teenagers stepped out and looked at the large film set.
"Oh my gosh, I'm going to be a movie star!" Lindsay squealed to her new best female friend, Beth. She started to jump up and down.
"I can't believe we're being forced to do another season of this," Gwen sighed to her boyfriend Trent and her best friend LeShawna. Regardless of making it far in Total Drama Island, Gwen was probably the contestant who hated the show the most.
"Try looking on the bright side," DJ said, the gentle giant was always the one to make peace. "The prize this time is one million dollars! That's some serious coin!"
Everyone began to talk about the prize money and what they would do with it. It was ten times more than the initial prize on the island. Owen, the large, but lovable winner of season one exclaimed how he would throw an even bigger party than he originally planned to if he won again.
"The money could get me out of Juvy for a few years," Duncan, the criminal of the group thought out loud. One million dollars could bail him out for quite some time.
"Lindsay and I are going to be the Queens of France!" Beth exclaimed, smiling, revealing her pearly white teeth, her braces had been removed just two days before the new season.
Geoff, Bridgette, Gwen, Trent and LeShawna gasped happily at Beth's new teeth. "Oh my goodness girl, your teeth are looking fine!" LeShawna complimented her friend with a fling of her wrist.
"You look awesome little dudette!" Geoff agreed. He then looked into Bridgette's eyes and smiled. "But you look even better." The blonde couple then began another session of kissing.
"They're right," Gwen spoke up making Beth blush.
"You were right Lindsay," Beth happily told her best female friend. "I am a lot prettier with my braces off." The two girls then began to jump up and down again.
Just then, a long tram car pulled up, with Chris Maclean driving. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked over at the sadistic host that all fourteen of them hated so much.
"Welcome to the set cast mates!" Chris greeted the fourteen teenagers happily. "This is where you will spend the next six weeks! Now, everyone hop in so we can take a quick tour of the area!"
Everyone got into the tram kart and sat down in the seats made for two. Geoff and Bridgette sat together, Duncan and DJ, Lindsay and Beth, LeShawna and Justin, Owen and Izzy, Gwen and Trent and Harold sat alone.
It took Heather a long time to find a seat as no one offered to share with her. She walked all the way to the back until she approached Harold. "You can sit with me, your highness," Harold offered as he moved to the right making room for Heather.
The popular, but currently bald girl looked around and after realizing there wasn't anywhere better to sit, sighed and took a seat next to Harold, her only friend. "Thanks," Heather grumbled as Chris started driving.
Chris began to take a tour of the set, showing the cast mates different movie sets. All the cast mates were excited to see sets looking similar to the old west, New York City, space, a large jungle, a huge fish tank and others.
"Wow, Chris, it seems like you went all out this time," Justin, the beautiful male model who rarely talked spoke up. Chris smiled at the compliment.
"Thank you Justin, but I didn't buy all this stuff," Chris told Justin and all the other teenagers. "Believe it or not, this film lot was abandoned after some difficulties with the set and all the props."
"Oh my gosh, did they have bad quality makeup or something?" Lindsay gasped. Chris turned and narrowed his eyes at the blonde beauty.
"No!" he snapped. His expression then lightened. "Anyways, we'll be using these sets during the movie themed challenges and you'll be staying in these cast trailers." On cue, Chris drove by two trailers and everyone turned to take a look at them.
"Hey, they're better then the cabins back on the island," Trent said.
"And instead of the confessional outhouse, you'll be using the confessional dressing room!" Chris announced as he drove by a trailer that would be used as the confessional.
(Confession Dressing Room)
Lindsay: "Oh my gosh, this is way better than the outhouse!" \Lindsay looks at all the makeup on the counter and squeals\ "I'm really going to love this season!"
Gwen: "Okay, the quality of this season looks like it'll be a little better…Chris still sucks though."
"Now our there any questions?" Chris asked the group as he stopped the tram and turned to face them. Everyone seemed satisfied, but then Harold raised his hand. "Yes Harold?"
"Well, all the stuff looks awesome, but are we going to have a challenge today?" Harold asked, eager to get the game started.
Chris scratched his chin in thought. Everyone was hoping that the host would say no, but most of them knew Chris better than that. After a few moments, Chris smiled sadistically at the fourteen teenagers.
"Well, I was going to give you this day off, but excellent idea Harold!" Chris exclaimed happily. "Today we'll have our first challenge! So get settled in your trailers, girls in one, guys in the other and meet me in the lodge in a half an hour.
All the cast mates got off the tram and headed towards their trailers, glaring at Harold the whole way.
"What, can you kill me for asking, gosh!" Harold snapped at the group.
After exactly a half an hour, the cast mates had gotten settled and were all sitting at tables in the lodge. Most of them were upset to hear that Chef Hatchet returned to make the food and some of them were attempting to stomach his gross food now.
"Where's Chris?" Gwen asked as she pushed a bowl of a muddy looking substance out of her face.
"Yeah, it's not like Chris to be late," Bridgette pointed out as she separated her lips from her boyfriend to take a sip of her water.
Everyone began to worry that Chris had something really dangerous planned for them. When Chris wasn't around to explain the challenge, usually bad things happened.
"Hey, no Chris, no challenge, that's fine with me," Duncan shrugged as he took a bite out of his bowl of mud and then attempted to swallow it down.
"Argh ye land lubbers, prepare for a challenge that'll take ye to the high seas!" a voice came from the entrance of the lodge. Everyone turned to see Chris, standing in a pirate costume, complete with a hat, eye patch and fake parrot on his shoulder.
"I thought you tried this look last season," Heather snapped bitterly as she adjusted her wig.
"Ye best be shuttin' your mouth missy," Chris warned the bald queen bee, still using his phony pirate accent. "Now, today your challenge will be based on the pirate genre. All of ye land lubbers will be dressing as pirates and go on a treasure hunt!"
Duncan rolled his eyes. "Wow, how original," he said sarcastically.
Chris ignored Duncan's comment as he continued to talk. "Now, somewhere on this marooned movie set lies a treasure chest full of cursed gold. The first pirate to return it to Captain Chris will gain quite the bounty!"
LeShawna scowled at Chris. "How buddy, how about repeating that in English?" LeShawna suggested quite rudely. She wasn't the only one who couldn't understand the host. The only ones who seemed to get it were Izzy and Harold, both of them nodding.
Chris glared at the sister with attitude and sighed. "Fine, there's cursed treasure hidden somewhere in the pirate set," Chris explained, using his normal voice. "The first person to find it and bring it back here wins a reward, okay?"
(Confession Dressing Room)
Izzy aka E-Scope: "This challenge will be a synch! One time, I spent a summer with my uncle on his boat in the Caribbean and one day we acted like pirates and ran through the nearby town! I swear it was like I was Johnny Depp or something!"
All of the cast mates stood outside the lodge, dressed as pirates with accessories to match. Duncan wore an eye patch, while all the other guys wore pirate hats. The girls wore bandannas and fake golden hoop earrings.
Izzy was the only cast mate to wear a peg leg. Owen looked at her confused. "Izzy, that peg leg will just slow you down," he told her. Izzy turned to glare at him and Owen realized he forgot to call her by her new name. "Sorry, I mean E-Scope."
E-Scope instantly smiled. "I see the peg leg as a challenge, if I can win with a peg leg, I'll be the queen of all pirates or something!" Izzy explained in a fast tone, talking twice as fast as a normal person.
Then, Chris walked up and all the cast mates turned to face him. "Alright, you guys look awesome," the host chuckled, pointing a few fingers at some of the teenagers he thought looked the funniest.
"Save it," Duncan snapped at the host, taking offense to the comments.
"Okay, fine, anyways, remember, the treasure is hidden in the pirate movie set, first person or group to bring it back wins the challenge," Chris reminded the contestants. "And, Chef Hatchet and a few interns have taken to being pirates too, they'll be protecting their treasure, if they catch you, you'll be eliminated, but, you can fight them off."
Everyone seemed to be a bit worried about having to face Chef. He was pretty good at hunting them down and working them hard. The only people who didn't seemed worried were Izzy and Duncan, both had past experience facing Chef.
"Alright, lights, camera, action!" Chris yelled raising his hands in the air.
None of the cast mates moved, they sat there, looking at Chris as if he was crazy. Chris lowered his hands, realizing the moment had been ruined. He glared at the fourteen teenagers.
"That means go," he told them bitterly.
Then, all the cast mates rushed off towards the pirate set they had seen earlier while on the tour to win the challenge. Chris chuckled as he headed back to the lodge to monitor the challenge. "I really love this show," he said to himself as he went.
Most of the cast mates paired up in groups of two or three to find the treasure, most of them were afraid of going against Chef alone.
Trent, Gwen, Harold and LeShawna were one group, Geoff and Bridgette decided to "work" together, DJ tagged along with Duncan, Owen followed E-Scope while Lindsay and Beth followed Justin, leaving Heather to work alone.
Trent, Gwen, Harold and LeShawna were the first group to reach the pirate set. It resembled a village from the eighteen hundreds, with a fake dock and a large pirate ship near it. Nearby, appearing to be on the outskirts of the fake town was what looked like to be a cave.
"Where could you hide a treasure chest in this place?" Gwen asked. The Goth girl looked around, observing all the areas where Chris could hide a treasure chest.
"I say we try that cave over there first," Trent suggested, pointing to the cave. Gwen and LeShawna nodded, but Harold shook his head in disagreement.
"That's where Chris would expect us to look," the dweeb stated. "I bet he has some kind of trap set up there, he's waiting for us to fall right into it!"
LeShawna looked between Trent and Harold, considering the possibilities. It seemed like something Chris would do, but sometimes, the sadistic host could be plain and simple with challenges.
"Chris could go either way," she replied. "I say we search the town and head to the cave last, that way, we can cover more ground first!"
"Sounds like a good idea," Gwen nodded as she turned to follow LeShawna.
Trent sighed and reluctantly followed his girlfriend, followed by a happy to follow LeShawna, Harold.
(Confession Dressing Room)
Trent: "Is it just me or does Gwen not listen to my opinion sometimes? I know it's probably all in my head, but I can't help but think she doesn't notice me sometimes." \Trent slaps his forehead\ "It's just my imagination, I know it!"
Harold: "I really admire LeShawna. Not only is she like a beautiful goddess, but her brain and leadership skills never cease to attract me to her! How can anyone, not love that kind of woman?"
Justin, Lindsay and Beth were next to arrive at the pirate movie set. Gwen, Trent, Harold and LeShawna had already run off, leaving the three all alone to figure out the way themselves.
"Alright, I'm really confused right now," Lindsay admitted, scratching her head. "If this is a pirate movie set, where are all the pirate ships and Orlando Bloom?"
"Oh my gosh, I love Orlando Bloom," Beth squealed and her and Lindsay had a squealing fest, similar to Katie and Sadie. All of the squealing was almost enough to drive Justin insane, but he wouldn't get very far without help.
"Girls, can we please focus on finding the treasure?" Justin asked with a smile, trying to get the girls to shut up.
Beth and Lindsay turned to Justin, completely forgetting about Orlando Bloom when they saw the male model. The group of three began to look around trying to find some kind of clue or hint that would lead them to the treasure.
Lindsay turned around and gasped happily when she saw the giant, but fake pirate ship. She jumped up and down and pointed at it.
"Guys, I bet the treasure is in the ship," Lindsay exclaimed, still pointing at the ship. "Let's go see."
Lindsay ran off, followed by her best friend Beth. Justin shrugged and followed. "It's a pirate ship, how bad could she screw this up?" he asked himself as he followed the two girls.
Little did the three know, that they had been spied on the whole time.
Hiding, in two barrels was none other than Izzy and Owen. Izzy opened the top of her barrel and jumped out with ease. But, she had to help Owen squeeze out of his. It took the two a few minutes to finally get Owen free.
"Great peter pumpkin eater," Owen sighed with a chuckle. "I've got to lay off the potato ships." Izzy glared at Owen and he quickly stopped chuckling, getting serious.
"I saw we follow the evil pretty boy and his minions to the pirate ship," Izzy said with a bit of a different accent. "Maybe if the treasure is really in the ship, we can get there before they do!"
Owen smiled and nodded. The loveable oaf loved the idea of going along with his girlfriend's plan.
"That's a great idea Izzy!" Owen agreed happily.
The insane redheaded girl then smacked Owen lightly on the back of his head. Owen groaned and rubbed the back of his head.
"Ouch, why did you do that?" he moaned.
"It's E-Scope!" Izzy snapped as she ran down the street after Justin, with Owen followed closely behind.
