Hello guys! Welcome to my second Total Drama competition story in my trilogy (Yep, you heard that right, trilogy)! In this story, we will introduce a brand new cast. If you haven't yet seen them, the link is here:
And now, without further ado, let's begin! I hope that everyone enjoys!
Chris stood on the dock, his shiny grin reflecting on the water.
"Hello viewing world! Welcome to the eighth season of Total Drama!" he said, "It's hard to believe, I know, but we've already completed seven seasons of the show!"
Chris began to walk across the dock, "Here's how it goes: twenty-four teenagers, divided into two teams, volunteered to spend three weeks on this crappy island. Each day, we'll have a dangerous challenge. The team that loses the challenge will be sending one of their members home. Does this all sound familiar? It should!"
"Here's the twist," Chris smiled sinisterly as the camera zoomed out to reveal a large, dark jungle, "This island has never been inhabited by humans before! Consider it a little...experiment," Chris cackled evilly.
"Throughout the course of this season, the contestants will have to face off against man-eating plants, jungle cats, giant bugs and a horde of other fun surprises!"
"Who will survive? Who will wish they didn't? Find out right now on Total! Drama! Survival!"
Chapter 1: Survival of the Fittest
Chris stood on the dock, waiting to meet the new contestants for the season with his trademark smirk.
A beautiful blonde girl walked off the first boat. She wore a blue denim jacket and long, brown boots.
"Hi, Chris!" the girl politely greeted the host despite her knowledge of his past crimes.
"What's up Allie?" Chris asked, "Do you plan on playing or just looking beautiful?"
Allie narrowed her blue eyes, "I'm not just a pretty face. I'll prove a worthy competitor. Just watch," She flipped her long blonde hair as she sat on one of the chairs Chris had set up.
"Darn," Chris said to her, "When we picked you, we thought you were going to be a Lindsay 2.0. That's why we picked you, you know."
"Not on your life, McLean," Allie rolled her eyes.
The second boat pulled up. A short boy with a mullet and a fierce looking face hopped out of the boat and clenched his fists, sneering at the host.
"Hey, Dennis," Chris greeted the short newcomer.
"What's up, Chris?" Dennis replied.
"So, I'm the second contestant to come here?" Dennis asked, arrogantly striding up to sit next to Allie, "I hope the rest of the contestants are like her," Dennis grinned seductively as Allie rolled her eyes. She would have none of that.
The next person to arrive on the boat was a blonde boy with blue eyes that were constantly alert. He looked around before getting off of the boat.
"Hey, Thomas!" Chris put his hand on the boy's shoulder.
"Don't touch me!" Thomas flinched.
"Sorry, dude," Chris shrugged.
Thomas sat on the far end of the chairs, away from Allie and Dennis, eying them suspiciously as if they were criminals.
A fourth boat pulled up to the dock. Out jumped a slim redhead girl with vivid green eyes and a wide smile on her face.
"Hey Chris!" the newcomer said.
"Sydney," Chris greeted back, "nice to see you!"
"So, are there any characters I should play for this show?" Sydney asked, batting her shoulder-length red hair.
"Um, not that I have in mind," Chris responded, raising an eyebrow.
"But this is a show! Sydney protested, "Surely there's some character you want me to play!"
"Um, yeah," Chris said, "It's a reality show, you play yourself."
"Aw, but my real self is so boring! Surely I could liven it up a little! For good TV's sake? Please?"
"Fine," Chris rolled his eyes, "Go liven yourself off over there," he jerked his thumb over to the twenty-four chairs.
Sydney looked at the chairs. She saw a short boy with a mullet flirting with a girl who looked disgusted by his obvious seduction. On the other end, sat a blonde boy who looked around him, twitching nervously.
"Fun group," Sydney shrugged.
Chris stood to greet the next contestant. He was a tall, lean boy with short brown hair and a devious smile on his face. His eyes shone mischievously as he walked onto the deck.
"Ted! Welcome to the show!" Chris greeted.
"Thanks, man," Ted replied, "It sure is great to finally be competing."
The next boat pulled up to the dock and an Asian by wearing a ghi and a red headband walked out.
"Daiskue, welcome!" Chris greeted the newcomer.
Daiskue tied his black belt and walked to sit with the other contestants.
"Seems you're a man of few words," Chris told the newcomer.
"Yes, I am," Daiskue replied, "The tongue can make one deaf. It is what sensei told me."
"Whatever, bro," Chris said.
Daiskue walked up to the chairs, "So these are my rivals?" he asked Chris.
"Yeah, we pick 'em well, don't we?" Chris responded.
Daiskue rolled his eyes.
Thomas saw the nunchucks in Daiskue's pocket and flinched.
"What's the matter?" Daiskue asked.
"Y-you're not going to use those on me, are you?" Thomas asked, still flinching.
"No, unless you play dirty," Daiskue said in a matter-of-fact way.
"I-I don't intend on it," Thomas said, twitching.
"Good! Then we won't have problems," Daiskue said.
The next arrival was a girl with a cheerful face and bright blue eyes. Her blonde hair was tied back into a ponytail.
"Hi, Chris!" she greeted the host with a high-five.
"Hi, Jessica!" Chris high-fived back, "Think you're gonna meet some dudes this season?"
Jessica blushed, "Um, I don't know," she said, flipping her hair back, "Maybe..."
"Whatever," Chris said, "Just sit down with the other contestants."
Jessica took a seat next to Ted.
"Hey Jessica," Ted sneered, "want to hear a blonde joke?"
"Um, no, I'm good," Jessica giggled.
"I hope you're not implying that all blondes are dumb," Allie, who was sitting close by interjected.
"Not all of them, just most," Ted said casually, earning a glare from both of the aforementioned blonde girls.
A handsome young man with a light purple collared shirt and deep brown hair was next to approach the host.
"This is Eric, everyone!" Chris announced.
"It is a pleasure to meet you," Eric told Chris as he walked up to sit next to Dennis, who was still hitting on Allie.
"Hm, I sense chemistry," Eric said to the two.
"Between me and him?" Allie raised a slender eyebrow.
"Yes," Eric replied, "I see it. What are your names?"
"I'm Allie," the blonde said awkwardly giggling.
"Name's Dennis," the shorter teen said, clicking his tongue.
"Allenis, no, Alnis, no Denallie," Eric thought out loud as Allie rolled her eyes again.
The next boat pulled up and a boy dressed in all khaki jumped out. He tipped his cowboy hat and greeted the contestants.
"Hey, mates!" the boy said in his Australian accent, "Ready for an awesome season?"
He got a bunch of blank stares and awkward looks.
"Um, yeah," the Australian said embarrassed, "Um, I'm Jared and-"
"And I'm supposed to be introducing the contestants," Chris interjected, "But, yes, this is Jared."
"Cool," Jared said, regaining his composure, "We staying in the jungle?" he asked.
"You are," Chris responded, "That won't be a problem, will it?"
"No way!" Jared said, "I can't believe it! I've never stayed in an actual jungle before! Woohoo!" Jared went to sit down.
"Um, yeah," Chris said as the next contestant left the boat.
He was a scrawny boy, with a sleepy look in his eyes. He wore clothing that had obviously been worn as they were pretty tight. His brown hair was messy and unkempt.
"Gregory, how's it going?" Chris asked.
The newcomer yawned, "I'm pretty tired. I think I need a nap."
"That won't be allowed until later," Chris informed.
"Aw, come on!" Gregory whined, "I've only gotten 12 hours of sleep!"
"Sorry, it ain't happening!" Chris said.
Gregory pouted and sat down with his fellow contestants. He began to doze off in his chair.
"I hope I don't get him on my team," Ted whispered to Daiskue, who nodded.
Gregory was just about to drift off when another boat pulled up to the dock. Out stepped a dirty-blonde girl wearing a pink sweatshirt and light gray leggings. She had a relaxed expression in her gray eyes and a friendly look on her face.
"Angie, welcome!" Chris said.
"Angie," Gregory swooned, now fully awake.
"Hi, Chris," Angie greeted. Her voice was soft, but she spoke with conviction.
"I think somebody's in love," Eric said, jerking his finger at Gregory.
"It's so cute!" Jessica cooed
"Love is a beautiful thing," Eric corrected, "To call love 'cute' is a disgusting understatement."
"It's just infatuation," Ted said, "When we get into the competition, they'll be at each others' throats. I wouldn't fall...for...a..."
A girl with a deep red blouse and light brown hair exited the next boat. She was quite small in stature, being slightly shorter than Chris, and her kind eyes sparkled in the sun.
"Hello, Claire!" Chris said to the new arrival.
"Hello, Chris," Claire said, "I hope my arrival was on time. I can't abide by tardiness."
"You were fine, now go sit down."
Claire walked over to sit down.
"So what were you saying about love being dumb?" Jessica smirked at Ted.
"It's just..." Ted stuttered, "I didn't really..."
"It's ok to be in love," Eric said, "One of mankind's greatest gifts is the ability to love."
"Ugh, it's not love," Ted protested, "I...she's just really pretty."
An overweight boy with messy black hair walked off the next boat.
"What's up, Lucas?" Chris asked.
"I feel like the rebels did when they finally overthrew the galactic empire!" Lucas said in his deep voice.
"I didn't see all of the Star Wars movies yet!" Chris complained, "Thanks for spoiling the ending!"
"Well, the last movie has been out for, like, ten years. It's your fault for not watching it," Lucas said.
Chris twitched an eye. He didn't like being blamed for things.
Nobody was too eager to sit next to Lucas. He sat down on a chair.
"I feel sorry for that chair," Ted said, not quiet. Lucas rolled his eyes.
"That's a little rude," Claire redirected Ted from the other side of the chairs.
"I'm sorry," Ted raised his hands in surrender.
"You want her!" Jessica cooed, "Don't deny it! You're in love!"
"I'm not in love," Ted insisted.
"Yo, who's ready to party!" A black boy with a ponytail jumped out of the boat. He wore a leather jacket and baggy jeans.
"Manny!" Chris greeted, "Welcome!"
"What's up Chris my man?" Manny said back to Chris, straightening out his jacket.
"Haven't seen anyone that enthusiastic to be on Total Drama!" Chris replied, "Are you masochistic or something?"
"Massa-what?" Manny asked, scratching his head, "No, I just like having a good time! Rock and Rolling all night, partying every day, it's just what I do!"
"Um, alright," Chris said, "Just sit down, dude."
Manny sat down next to Lucas, "Are you ready to party?" Manny asked the Sci-fi geek.
"Party?" Lucas asked, "A jedi warrior does not party."
"What's a jedi?" Manny asked Lucas.
"You don't know what a jedi is?" Lucas asked incredulously, "A jedi is a master of the force. He can move things with his mind! Haven't you ever seen Star Wars?"
"Can't say I have," Manny said, "Can you tell me about it?"
As the two unlikely friends talked, another boat pulled up.
Out jumped a redhead girl with light blue eyes and a silver stud in her nose. She did not have any luggage, she just had a cooler. She opened her cooler and took out a Pepsi and began to drink.
"How's it hanging, Tori?" Chris asked.
"How's it...what?" the girl asked. She appeared loopy.
"Still having a caffeine buzz?" Chris asked.
"A caffeine what?" Tori asked, "I'm just drinking my soda. I've only had, like, six today."
"Whoa!" Jessica said to Allie, "I'd like to be able to stay slim and drink that much soda!"
"I don't drink soda," Allie said, "With all of the chemicals and substances factories put in it, soda is pretty much a slow-acting poison."
"To each her own, I guess," Jessica shrugged.
The next girl calmly stepped out of the boat. She had a pink sweatshirt and blue jeans. She was tall and appeared strong. Her deep blue eyes appeared relaxed and her brown hair was tied into a tight bun on the back of her head.
"Hello, Sophia," Chris greeted the contestant.
Sophia smiled and nodded, but said nothing to the host. She went to sit down by herself on one of the chairs behind Chris.
"What's up with that girl?" Manny asked Lucas, "She scares me."
Sophia looked at the two boys, "What's wrong with you two?"
"Um nothing," Manny stuttered.
"Am I intimidating you?" Sophia smiled kindly.
"Hah! No!" Lucas tried to seem tough.
"You know, Sophia," Sydney interjected, "Once I played a woman who never talked! I had to communicate with exaggerated hand gestures and other stuff!"
"Interesting," Sophia said, listening.
"That's nothing," Jared said, "Once, when I was out in the jungle, I got my tongue stung by an ichimonian wasp! It turned out that I was really allergic, mate, and my tongue was swollen up for a month! I had to communicate by writing everything I wanted to say on a whiteboard!"
"Really?" Sophia asked.
"Yeah!" Jared said.
As Jared and Sydney blabbed on about things that may or may not have been true to Sophia, another boat pulled up to the dock.
A girl with a green tank top and purple shorts stepped out of the boat. She was a pretty girl with deep brown hair tied into a ponytail. Her kind green eyes appeared to reflect the hot sun of the jungle island.
"Peyton!" Chris greeted the girl, "What's up?"
"Hi, Chris," Peyton responded.
"Excited to be on Total Drama?" Chris asked.
"Yeah!" Peyton responded, looking at the contestants sitting on the bench, "Are these my fellow competitors?"
"Yes!" Chris smiled sadistically.
"Awesome! I can't wait to work with everyone!" Peyton smiled.
"Really?" Chris asked, "Some of these people are really weird."
"Oh, I don't really care," Peyton said, "They all seem nice enough!"
Peyton went to sit down next to Thomas, making him flinch.
"W-what do you want with me?" Thomas asked Peyton, terrified.
"You're funny!" Peyton laughed. "I'm Peyton! What's your name?"
"I won't tell you! What if you're an identity thief?"
"I'm just asking your name, not your SS number!" Peyton punched Thomas in the arm playfully.
"I-I'm Thomas," Thomas told the new girl, eyes wide.
"Thomas," Peyton parroted, "Nice to meet you!" Peyton put out her hand.
Thomas looked at the hand, scared to put his hand in hers.
"Shake?" Peyton asked.
"I-I don't know!" Thomas stuttered.
"It's just a handshake," Peyton said.
"That's how they tried to kill Kim Jong Un in The Interview!"
"I'm not going to hurt you!" Peyton smiled warmly.
Thomas reluctantly put his hand in hers and shook it.
The next boat chugged up to the dock. A boy stepped off the boat. He had very large muscles revealed by his tight gray muscle shirt. He carried a barbell in one hand and three bags in the other.
"Draden!" Chris told the muscular boy, "Why'd you bring that?" He asked, looking at the barbell.
"If I don't exercise, I get kind of...irritable," Draden said with his gruff voice.
"Ok, I guess OW!" Chris screamed as Draden dropped the weight on his foot.
"Sorry," Draden smiled at the host. It was clear he was not sorry in the slightest. He picked up his weight with one hand as Chris hobbled on his uninjured leg.
"How much does that thing weigh?" Chris cried, holding back tears.
"I don't know," Draden said, "200, 300, maybe."
"Well it hurts like Hell!" Chris screamed.
"So it seems like the season has had its first injury!" An obnoxious voice sounded, "And it was hilarious!"
The voice belonged to a boy with greasy brown hair and an obnoxious, evil smile. He stroked his stubble as he strutted over to Chris.
"Drake!" Chris hobbled, "I'm not the one who's supposed to be getting injured! You are!"
"I know, but it's funny nonetheless!" Drake laughed as the next person stepped off of his boat. The boy wore a tacky plaid shirt and very thick glasses. His pants were pulled up very high.
"Hey!" Drake noticed, "A nerd! I love nerds!" He punched said nerd in the gut, making him recoil in pain.
"My...name's...Melvin!" the nerd said as he slumped.
"Hah! You guys make the funniest noises when you're in pain!" Drake cackled as he walked to sit down. When he walked up to the chairs, he noticed there were very few open chairs.
"Hey!" Drake yelled at Thomas. "You're in my spot, skinny boy! Scram or I'll murder you with my fists!"
Thomas ran away, screaming.
"So," Drake sneered, "What's your name, beautiful?"
"Get bent!" Peyton rolled her eyes. The bully didn't scare her.
"Shh...Drake put his finger on her lips, don't ruin it, gorgeous. I just want to love you all season long."
A boy with black hair and a smug smile was the next contestant to walk off of his boat. He scratched his stubble as he walked off.
"Daniel, what's..." Chris heard a high-pitched scream. By the time he turned around, he noticed Peyton with her arm protectively over her breasts. Drake was the one screaming, with a black eye, courtesy of Peyton.
"Second injury of the season and it's still hilarious," Peyton smiled, smugly.
"Note to self," Chris thought, "Don't piss off Peyton too much..."
Daniel looked smugly at Chris, "I'm too awesome to piss someone off."
"Um, yeah," Chris said, "We all know you love yourself."
"What's not to love?" Daniel grinned, "I'm just awesome!"
"Yeah, Mr. Awesome," Chris rolled his eyes, "Why don't you sit down while we wait for the next contestant to arrive.
"Awesomeness does not take orders from the non-awesome," Daniel said.
"I know," Chris said, "but I am awesome, so just go and sit down."
Daniel went to sit down next to Claire.
"Hey! Did you hear about how awesome I am?" Daniel asked Claire.
"Um, yeah, I did," Claire responded casually.
"Are you prepared to handle the sheer awesomeness of my awesomeness?" Daniel asked.
"I think I can handle it," Claire smiled.
The next contestant to arrive was a large, butchy girl with an unflattering outfit and short, brown hair. She had a lot of makeup on her face, making her look quite weird.
"Emma!" Chris greeted, "Are you stoked about being here?"
"What's the point?" Emma asked, "People like me never win these games. The physical challenges are tailored toward men."
"Um, brah," Chris said, "You know last season's winner was a girl, right?"
"Yes, but Samey wasn't a strong, upstanding woman like I am. She was a practical slave to 'the man!' Did you see how she acted around Dave?"
"Just go sit down," Chris instructed.
"Oh," Emma said, "So you think that just because you're a man, you can tell me what to do? I don't take orders from you misogynistic pieces of crap!"
"No," Chris said, "I think I can order you around because I'm the host!"
"Well, I refuse! I am a strong-willed woman who refuses to take orders from the likes of sexists like you, McLean! I ought to sue your show for discrimination! Mom's a civil right's lawyer! She can ruin your life!"
"I bet she can't beat any of my lawyers if this does go to court," Chris said, non-chillantly.
"Oh, now you're saying that your lawyers are better because they're all men?" Emma's face turned red with fury.
"First of all," Chris said, "I have a bunch of female lawyers. Second of all, I'm pretty sure they're more qualified than your mom is. So just sit down like the rest of the contestants!"
"What's her problem?" Said a valley girl-esque voice.
"Hanna, welcome to the show," Chris greeted the newcomer. She was a girl with blonde hair. She would have been pretty if she wasn't wearing loads of makeup.
"I wasn't done talking to you!" Emma screamed, "You can't just cut to the next contestant!"
"Well, I'm done talking to you," Chris said, "So that's what matters! Sorry about that, Hanna."
"It's, like, no big deal," Hanna said, "I'll just go, like, chill with the other contestants."
"So I think that's everyone," Chris said, counting twenty-three contestants.
"Not quite," came a sugary sweet voice.
The voice belonged to a beautiful young lady. She had piercing green eyes and a near-perfect figure. She flipped her silky brown hair behind her as she walked to sit with the contestants. She walked with her nose so far in the air that she could drown in a rainstorm.
"Kellie!" Chris said to the final contestant.
"He-llo!" Kellie cooed at the host, "It's a pleasure to meet you," she said sweetly.
"Want!" Dennis exclaimed.
"Need!" Manny swooned.
Kellie turned around to face her fellow competitors, "It's very nice to meet you all!" she greeted.
Most of the boys were swooning by this point.
"And now we can really begin!" Chris announced, follow me!
Chris led the teens to a large, luxurious resort-like building.
"This is the newly-renovated McLean Spa Hotel! Even more amazing and luxurious than last time! You want to sleep here, don't you?"
The contestants all nodded.
"Well, not all of you can!" Chris announced, "The Spa Hotel is for winners only! Guess where the losing team has to sleep?"
"Let me guess," Hanna said, "A crusty, crappy camp cabin."
"You wish!" Chris grinned evilly, "The losing team has to sleep out in the wilds of Kumba Island, where you may be devoured by jungle creatures at any moment! Hope you can sleep with one eye open!" Chris cackled.
The contestants' looks of delight melted into looks of terror.
"Hah! Priceless!" Chris laughed, "But there is one silver lining," Chris explained, "The producers thought it would be too 'dangerous' to make you sleep out in the wild without anybody keeping watch, so we hired an animal control specialist in case of emergency!"
The contestants breathed sighs of relief.
"Hey, animal control specialist," Chris yelled, "Come meet the victims whose lives are in your hands!"
The animal control specialist could not be further from what was expected. In place of a big, burly man with a net and a tranquilizer gun, a young girl about the age of the contestants entered the scene holding no weapons.
The girl had light blonde hair and mystical gray eyes that one could get lost in. She had very elfin facial features, but was beautiful. She was diminutive in stature as well.
"Nice sweater," Emma said snidely, referring to the girl's modest clothing, "Covering up your body, bowing down to our male overlords!"
"I understand that your notion of our societal inferiority comes from your inner lack of confidence with yourself. You feel as if you must demean men to feel superior yourself," the girl spoke with a sweet voice. It was a voice so beautiful that a person could listen to it recite dictionary entries and not get bored.
"What makes you say that, punk?" Emma said, blushing as she knew everything the girl said was true.
"It's all over your aura, Emma."
"How do you know my name?" Emma asked, "I've never introduced myself."
"This," Chris announced, "is Dawn."
Dawn waved.
"As most of you probably know, Dawn was a contestant on a previous season of Total Drama!" Chris explained.
"Um," Jared said, "No offense, mate, but shouldn't we have gotten a stronger person, who could, maybe save us if we had a problem!"
"Dawn is much more useful than the typical animal control specialist," Chris said, "She has the ability to commune with animals! Plus, she was the cheapest person we could find! She's working for less than our interns!"
"I told you Mr. McLean, money is not important to me," Dawn said.
"Then its a win-win!" Chris said, "I don't lose money and you don't get angry!"
"Oh, would it be a problem if I take my meditation break now?" Dawn asked.
"You have to take pills?" Chris asked.
Dawn giggled, "Not medication, meditation! I do it to get in touch with my spiritual self. It really relaxes people. You should consider it, Mr. McLean. Obviously you have some stress that needs to be worked out."
"It does work," Daiskue said, "I meditate every day to sharpen my martial arts skills."
"Yeah, I'll pass on that," Chris said, "I'll tell you what, since you're working for such little pay, I'll allow it!"
Dawn sat down and crossed her legs, closing her eyes.
"Anyways," Chris said, "While Dawn does whatever she's doing, let's get you guys into teams. The first team will consist of Ted, Emma, Drake, Daiskue, Gregory, Angie, Allie, Sophia, Dennis, Jessica, Draden and Melvin! You guys will be known as Team Simba Hatari, which is Swahili for Lethal Lions!"
"The rest of you guys get over there. Kellie, Daniel, Manny, Eric, Claire, Peyton, Tori, Lucas, Hanna, Thomas, Jared, and Sydney, you guys are Team Daravana Bagha, which is Hindi for the Terrifying Tigers!"
"And now," Chris smiled evilly, "For the first challenge!"
To be continued...
