(Day 0)
A lone, deserted island sat in the water as a helicopter made a few fly-bys of it. The mainland was a ways away from the island, and even then the mainland was a series of (more-populated) islands to begin with. After the helicopter made a few overhead shots of the forested jungle island, a blonde man was seen walking along a beach, still wearing the red shirt and vest from previous seasons.
"Welcome to the sixth season of Survivor: Central Hub. I'm your host, SSBFreak." The man said to the cameraman. "This season, we have a group of all-new players ready to outplay and outlast each other to win the coveted million dollar prize and avoid getting voted out of the game. We're going to have a tribe of ten players go against a team of ten special guests, but we'll get to that in a bit. What matters is that each and every one of these twenty people will be vying for that coveted title of Sole Survivor."
Continuing his walk down the beach, SSBFreak continued. "Over the next thirty-nine days, these people will be pit against each other in team-based challenges, where the losing tribe will be forced to vote someone out of the game, the one situation no one wants to be in." He explained as he came upon a dock. "After almost everyone has been eliminated from the game, one of these twenty people will be awarded the million dollar prize and will be declared the winning of this season. With that, it's time to meet the players wanting this chance to win the big money…"
The first contestant to come down the dock was a short, and somewhat chubby, green cat wearing a chef's hat, yellow shirt and an apron. She walked down the dock without showing much emotion other than a flat look in her eyes.
COUSCOUS – VILECHEESE
CHOWDER
"Well, Couscous, from what I hear, you're a chef." SSBFreak said.
"And a great one at dat!" Couscous interjected, giving off what sounded like a Bronx accent. "Give me anythin' ta werk with and I'll turn it into a frickin' masterpiece!"
"You think your cooking abilities will make your tribe want to keep you?" SSBFreak asked.
"Course they would! Wiffout me ta cook up my dishes, they'd just be eatin' crap fer thoity days!"
"Okay. If you're that sure of yourself." SSBFreak shrugged as Couscous walked past him. "Just wait at the end of the dock for now, okay?"
Couscous waited at the edge of the dock, standing at her full height (which, to be frank, wasn't that high anyway) and waiting patiently. The next person to come down the dock was what looked to be a pale-skinned young man with ghostly-white hair, dressed in a dirty red shirt and a pair of ripped jeans.
ROBIN – LALLAMA12
SILENT HILL
"Welcome to Survivor, Robin. I'm actually surprised you were able to get out of Silent Hill, if I'm being honest." SSBFreak noted.
"Yeah…Yeah, I was able to get out." Robin said, forming a light smile. "I've got a lot of determination."
"So what do you think you can bring to the table?"
"Well…I'm good with my hands and I've got great survival skills." Robin admitted with a shrug. "I think I may be able to…Do well if I'm given the chance."
"Okay. Go over there for now and wait for the others."
Robin walked over to Couscous, whose eyes widened at the sight of the scrawny boy. "G-Good grief, boy! Do you even EAT?!" She demanded. "Yer practically just skin and bones!"
Robin looked away. "Something like that." He admitted.
"Don't worry. If we're on the same tribe, I'm gunna whip up somethin' fer ya!"
The next person coming down the docks was a young man with black hair, wearing a red shirt with a big M on it. He seemed to have a look of anticipation on his face and had a bit of a confident smirk as he walked forward.
MATT – MATT THORNDARK
MARIO SPORTS
"You look confident, Matt. You expecting this to be easy?" SSBFreak asked, an eyebrow lifted.
"Of course not; I've done something like this before." Matt handwaved the comment off. "Of course, that just means that I've got some experience now and I know what to look for in games like this."
"You already have an idea on how you're going to play?"
"I'm getting there. I haven't decided yet." Matt said as he walked by. "I'll just have to wait until we start to figure out what I'm going to do."
Matt approached Couscous and Robin and greeted them. Couscous seemed a little uninterested while Robin seemed apprehensive about him at first (in fact, Robin was already standing a few feet away from Couscous). At this point, the next person was coming down the docks, revealing a red, female alien with short, rainbow hair wearing a tank-top and shorts. She appeared to have a layer of muscles on her.
YORGUE – CHARLOTTE REDMOND
FUTURAMA
"From what I hear, you're one of the doctors on the Planet Express, Yorgue." SSBFreak said. "I…Would HOPE that you're at least better than Zoidberg."
"Don't say things like that about Zoidberg. Even if his skills are always in question, I've known him to at least put his heart into everything he does." Yorgue scolded. "And he's had me as the second-in-command for as long as I can remember."
"It's Zoidberg. He needs all the help he can get." SSBFreak rolled his eyes.
Yorgue stared flatly. "If you injure yourself out here, don't come crying to me." She said as she walked by.
"Yer a doc, eh?" Couscous as as the much-taller Yorgue walked over. "Not bad. What's yer specialty?"
"I can handle any sort of ailment." Yorgue nodded. "Point me at an injured person and I'll nurse them back to health personally."
"Better practice than Mario, anyway." Matt rolled his eyes. "All HE does is throw multi-coloured pills at everything."
The next contestant came walking down the dock, revealing what looked like a green-skinned anthro being with messy, purple hair, a torn green shirt and ripped jeans. There was also a visible flower bulb sticking to his back. Like Yorgue, he looked muscular.
SAUR – PUNX193
POKEMON
"So let me see if I got this right, Saur…You're a…Um…Anthro Pokemon?" SSBfreak asked.
"Yeah. A Bulbasaur, to be precise." Saur nodded before flexing his arm. "The muscle of my team and the most-athletic by a country-mile."
"Hopefully, that strength of yours will come in handy." SSBFreak said.
Saur smirked. "With muscle like mine? No one can even TOUCH me in the strength department." He assured as he walked by.
Yorgue turned from Couscous and saw Saur coming over. The red alien turned around to show Saur that she was just as ripped as he was. Saur paused for a few seconds.
"…Okay. Maybe SOME people can touch me in the strength department." Saur blinked.
"Are you talking to me?" Yorgue asked.
The next contestant to come down the dock was a young half-Chinese girl with brown hair. She wore a blue headband, a yellow shirt and a green skirt and looked eager to start.
KATHY – MYSTERICWONDER
LIAR GAME
"Looks like you're ready to start the game anytime, Kathy." SSBFreak noted.
"You bet I am! I can't wait to get started!" Kathy nodded.
"I hope that you'll surprise us out here, because this eagerness may not last very long with your competition." SSBFreak smirked.
Kathy smirked right back. "In that case, I'll be sure to deal with that issue when it arises." She said as she walked past the host.
Seeing that Robin was still off to the side, eyeing everyone suspiciously, Kathy made her way over. "Hey, there. You looking forward to this?" She asked.
Robin looked Kathy over a few times. "Yeah…Sure." He said, still a little uneasily.
Kathy scratched her head in confusion before Matt looked at her. "Don't bother trying." He warned her. "He's not opening up that easily."
Coming down the dock next was a tall, blue, female rat wearing what looked like a secret agent uniform. There was a tuft of light blue hair on her head and she seemed to be giving a light smirk as she walked down the dock.
ARIANNA – REIN-MAN
GEX
"Welcome to Survivor, Agent Arianna. I trust that you're looking forward to playing the game with the others?" SSBFreak asked.
"You can say that." Arianna assured. "I've got my sights set on a few people already and I'm sure I can dig up a few things on them."
"Good to see that you'll have your head in the game." SSBFreak nodded. "Go over there and wait for the others, okay?"
"Of course." Arianna said as she walked over to where the others were gathering.
"That fur colour of yours doesn't look healthy." Yorgue pointed out.
"Yeah, I tend to get that a lot." Arianna rolled her eyes. "Besides, you don't see anything wrong with the green CAT?"
"Ey! Leave me outta this!" Couscous snapped.
The eighth contestant to arrive walked down the dock, revealing a somewhat-lanky young man with dirty blonde hair, a white jacket opened up to reveal a blue shirt and a pair of brown pants. He had his hands in his pockets as he walked down the dock.
MITCHELL – TOUILEASASO
WARIO WARE
"I have to say that I'm surprised, Mitchell." SSBFreak said. "For a guy from the world of Wario Ware, you seem kinda…Normal."
"Believe me, it's a chore to remain normal in a place like Diamond City." Mitchell rolled his eyes. "Especially when you consider the garlic-obsessed lunatic I WORK for."
"Well, I hope that your level-headedness translates well into the game." SSBFreak said.
"I think it will. I just need to align with the right people and cut the creeps." Mitchell said with a smirk as he walked past the host.
Mitchell saw that Robin was still by himself and made his way over. "People not really talking to you, kid?" He asked.
"It's not that." Robin said with a shrug. "I just…I just don't trust people that easily…"
"How does he expect to last out here if he can't trust people?" Saur asked aloud.
"Watch your mouth." Yorgue warned.
The next contestant was a small and young girl with pink hair that went past her shoulders and drooped over her left eye. She wore a green dress with a belt draped diagonally over her shoulder, which had a few badges on it.
MONNA LISA – ERDJAY
PSYCHONAUTS
"You're our youngest player this season, Monna Lisa." SSBFreak explained. "You think that'll come back to haunt you?"
"No way! I'm a Psychonaut-in-training, after all! I can totally handle things out here on my own!" Monna Lisa said with a reassuring smirk. "And anyone that says otherwise can answer to my telekinesis!"
"Just remember that you can't use any of your powers in the challenges or to cheat in the game at camp." SSBFreak said. "If you want to use your powers for something to do, that's fine, but don't abuse them out here."
"Wasn't planning on it, anyway." Monna Lisa shrugged as she walked over to the others.
Couscous was the first person Monna Lisa saw and her eyes widened in slight surprise. "Whoa. I thought I'd be the shortest one here." She noted, seeing as how she was still a bit taller than Couscous.
"Don't push yer luck, kid." Couscous warned.
"Someone's not a happy camper." Arianna noted, an eyebrow lifted.
"We know who to go after first, at least." Matt shrugged.
The tenth contestant walked down the dock, revealing a tall man wearing a suit. He had slicked, short black hair and people saw that he had a small chain wrapped around one of his wrists underneath one of his sleeves.
JERICHO – CRAZYKID9219
INCEPTION
"You looking forward to starting, Jericho?" SSBFreak asked.
"Indeed. I can see that this game is going to be interesting and I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of ways I can shake it up." Jericho nodded. "So when do we begin?"
"Fairly soon. Just step over there for now."
"If you say so. You're the boss." Jericho smirked as he walked over. He saw the others and greeted a few. "Ladies." He said.
Yorgue looked away, trying to hide a blush (although it would have been hard to tell because of her already-red face). Arianna and Kathy seemed interested in Jericho's handsome face. "Uh…Hey." Kathy said.
Couscous rolled her eyes and looked at Saur. "Ah alreadeh hate dat prick." She said.
"Okay. So far, ten people have arrived on the beach. You ten will all be on the same team and be one of the two tribes in this game." SSBFreak explained.
"So…Who's on the other tribe?" Mitchell asked.
"Glad you asked, Mitchell." SSBFreak explained. "We have a special guest tribe coming in to be your opponents. This tribe is coming from a place where they all have some experience in a game like this: the world of Total Drama."
"We're facing a team of Total Drama Island characters?" Matt asked.
"Not official ones; fancharacters." SSBFreak explained. "The ten people on the opposite tribe will be from the popular 'Total Drama Letterz' spinoff series, five players from each of the two seasons."
The ten players exchanged glances, knowing that the game could get interesting depending on which players they would be facing against.
"Let's start bringing them out, okay?"
The first of the ten guests was a tall young woman with blonde hair done into braids, although her bangs obstructed any view of her eyes. The notable feature about her was the Viking helmet on her head.
XYLY – THE VIKING
LETTERZ 2
"You think you're ready for the big time, Xyly?" SSBFreak asked. "Survivor's a huge step up from Total Drama."
"Please. Xyly is as ready as she'll ever be!" Xyly said. "She is looking forward to fighting against the other team like any good Viking should!"
"Good to see that you're as energetic as ever about this." SSBFreak said. "Go over there for now, alright?"
Monna Lisa blinked as Xyly came over. "What's up with the third-person speak?" She asked.
"Xyly is of Viking descent and proud of it." Xyly smiled down at the young, pink-haired girl.
"Hmm…She could be a challenge threat…" Matt muttered to himself.
The next person coming down the docks was an orange-haired man with a mustache that looked like it came straight off an old-school villain's face. He wore shades, a dark shirt and vest and a tie.
WALLACE – THE "DIABOLICAL VILLAIN"
LETTERZ 1
"Welcome to Survivor, Wallace. You think you have what it takes to last out here?" SSBFreak asked.
Wallace gave a smirk. "You are asking ME, the evil genius himself, if he's ready for a game of backstabbings and betrayals?" He quizzed. "That's like asking me if I remembered to brush my teeth this morning!"
SSBFreak blinked. "Uh…Did you?"
Wallace was silent for a few seconds. "Um…No." He finally admitted as he walked past the host.
"I THOUGHT I smelled garlic." SSBFreak shook his head.
Couscous looked up at Wallace. "Did you seriously just state outright that yer an evil mastermind?" She asked flatly. "Way ta cover up yerself, buddy."
"Hmm…A talking cat with green fur…" Wallace said. "Are you by any chance a lab experiment gone wrong?"
Couscous' eye twitched. "SAY THAT AGAIN, PUNK!" She yelled.
As Jericho and Matt held Couscous back from tearing the now-terrified Wallace a new one, the next contestant came down the docks, revealing another blonde girl, this one with twin ponytails and wearing a blue shirt with wave-like patterns on it. She seemed to be in a cheerful mood.
YESSICA – THE SWIMMER
LETTERZ 1
"I'm assuming that you want to make the most of this second chance to play a game like this, Yessica?" SSBFreak asked.
"Yeah. I hope to make the most of it since I didn't do that well in my first attempt." Yessica shrugged. "So when are we starting?"
"As soon as we introduce everyone, so go over there for now."
"Sure. I can wait." Yessica nodded.
Yessica walked over to the gathered contestants and started talk with Kathy and Yorgue. Jericho looked at her and smirked.
The next contestant was a tall young man with dark hair, although a tuft of his hair at the front was coloured orange. He wore a dark shirt with a flame imprint on it and his sideburns were also similarly-coloured.
RHENEAS – THE PYRO
LETTERZ 2
"I hope that you can keep your pyrotechnics under control out here, Rheneas." SSBFreak said. "The last thing we want is an accident."
"Hey, I'm not a crazy pyro. I'm just a guy that's into fire." Rheneas assured.
"Just making sure. You can't be too careful in a game like this." SSBFreak said. "So what's your gameplan out here?"
"If I told you, then I'd be shooting myself in the foot, wouldn't I?" Rhenease asked with a smirk as he walked past the host.
Xyly greeted Rheneas first. "Greetings, Rheneas. Hopefully, Xyly will be able to join forces with you when we start." She said.
"Good to see you as well, Xyly." Rheneas nodded.
"Already they've got alliances going." Mitchell muttered.
"They WERE on Total Drama. The probably know each other." Kathy shrugged.
The next contestant was a raven-haired girl wearing a beige jacket and pants. She looked rather emotionless with a flat look, bored eyes and an unmoving mouth that didn't go into a smile or a frown.
HELEN – THE DEADPAN
LETTERZ 2
"I'm surprised that you accepted the invite, Helen." SSBFreak said. "I thought you hated stuff like this."
"I do. Survivor as a whole is far too exciting for me to like." Helen deadpanned. "I just want to go into this game and win the money at the end."
"How will you do that if you're not enjoying the experience?"
"Because I'll help my team win. I just won't be having any fun along the way." Helen replied as she strode past and walked over to the others.
"Man. Real life of the party, aren't you?" Saur asked, an eyebrow lifted.
Helen stared at Saur for a bit. "Your look is far too loud for my tastes." She said. "Those rips on your clothes and the colour of your skin and hair make you too edgy."
Saur paused, then looked at Matt. "Was…Was that a compliment or an insult?" He asked.
"Probably both." Matt rolled his eyes.
Coming down the dock next was a brunette girl with long hair, wearing a skirt and a red sweater. She had a brush in her hand and was running it through her long hair as she walked.
NAKIA – THE HAIR-OBSESSED
LETTERZ 1
"I still don't know why you decided to bring a hairbrush as a luxury item, Nakia." SSBFreak scratched his head.
"Too bad, because your hair is in dire need of some fixing up." Nakia noted casually. "I can already tell that there's little hope for you if you don't fix your hair."
SSBFreak rolled his eyes. "Just go over there, will you?" He said.
Nakia shrugged as she walked over to the others. She froze when she saw Monna Lisa and narrowed her eyes. "Oh, ew! That hair of yours is absolutely repulsive!" She said.
"Excuse me?" Monna Lisa asked, an eyebrow lifted.
"That hair of yours is a disgrace!" Nakia said. "Unless you want to stay a complete reject your entire life, you need to change it!"
"Hey! Leave the kid alone, will you?" Mitchell asked.
"Like you're a fine person to tell me what to do with that filthy hair of yours!" Nakia scoffed.
Most people were paying attention to Nakia isolating herself that they didn't notice the next person coming down the dock, revealing a dark-skinned young man with black hair and a bowtie. He seemed to be cheerful.
YANNIS – THE MUTE
LETTERZ 2
"I hope that the fact that you can't talk won't get in the way of your game, Yannis." SSBFreak explained. "Are you worried at all?"
Yannis shook his head and gave a thumbs-up and an encouraging wink. That seemed to tell SSBFreak all he needed to know.
"Good to hear, Yannis. Don't be afraid to use your notepad if you want to communicate with people out here, though." SSBFreak nodded.
Yannis fished his notebook from his pocket and showed it to the host, as if to show him that he indeed had it on him. Yannis walked past the host and joined the others.
"Can't talk, huh?" Arianna asked. Yannis shook his head. "Is it hard to live like that?"
Yannis shrugged and waved his hand back and forth, as if to say 'sometimes'.
"I kinda like 'im." Couscous mused. "The fact dat he can't talk means he ain't gunna annoy meh."
Everyone watched as the next person walked down the dock, revealing a short young man with dark hair and a striped shirt. People saw that he could easily pass for a kid at first glance, even though he was affected by dwarfism.
DONNY – THE SHORT GUY
LETTERZ 2
"Well, Donny, here we are; Survivor." SSBFreak said. "Do you think you can keep up with everyone else in this game?"
"Oh sure, because the fact that I'm short TOTALLY means that I'm handicapped." Donny rolled his eyes. "Look, sunshine, I'm just as capable of a player as anyone else here. I just need the right moment to show it."
"I wasn't saying anything. I was just saying that because you aren't as strong or athletic as the others are…"
"Don't judge me until we start, mac." Donny warned as he walked by. "Just you watch me."
Jericho couldn't help but smirk as Donny came over. "That's cute." He mused. "He could be a fun one."
Matt seemed to be in agreement. "Looks like he's got a short temper as well." He nodded.
The penultimate contestant came down the docks, revealing a thin girl in a black shirt with a dollar sign on the front. She had short, messy brown hair and had a tiny dollar sign tattoo under her right eye.
ZITA – THE THIEF
LETTERZ 1
"I know you have your klepto tendencies, Zita, but try to keep them under control out here." SSBFreak warned. "On Total Drama, you may not get penalized for stealing, but on Survivor, that's something we frown upon out here."
"Don't worry. My hands are in my pockets." Zita assured. "I'll make use of my abilities some other way."
"Such as?"
"Like I'd say that here. I wasn't born yesterday." Zita smirked as she walked by.
Wallace was quick to greet Zita. "Ah, milady! Such a glorious morning, is it not?" He asked, trying his hardest to sound like a gentleman. "I trust that you are looking forward to-"
"Just so you know, Wallace, that act isn't going to win me over." Zita teased.
Wallace pouted and went back to twirling his mustache in thought.
"So you're a bit of a pickpocket, are you?" Arianna asked with a smirk. "I guess that means that you're sneaky."
Zita gave a shrug. "I suppose so." She said whimsically. "Why?"
"Oh, it's ON."
The final contestant came strutting down the dock with a cocky smirk and causing the other Total Drama players to moan. The final contestant had a blue Mohawk and a goatee, had multiple eye piercings and was wearing a red shirt and vest.
KASIMAR – THE BULLY
LETTERZ 1
"Looks like you know how to choose a contestant in bringing me here." Kasimar said.
SSBFreak looked unamused. "Believe me, I REALLY didn't want to bring you on board." He said. "The production crew just thought that you'd be entertaining until you get eliminated."
"That's not happening, mac." Kasimar smirked. "With what I'm going to do to this game, I'm going right through to the end."
SSBFreak got in Kasimar's face. "Listen, Kasimar. You try ANY of the dirty tricks you did back on Total Drama and we'll expel you on the spot and send you back to the prison we had to temporarily pull you out of." He warned.
Kasimar scoffed. "Whatever." He said as he walked by.
Kasimar scanned over the players and smirked. "Okay. This is going to be good." He said as he looked at Robin. "You're going to be a fun one to torment, basket-case." He said, cracking his knuckles.
Robin, although not looking intimidated, backed away from the bully, not wanting any part of this. Yorgue was instantly in front of him and standing tall, at least a foot taller than Kasimar. "Keep this attitude up and I swear that your tribe will boot you first." She said.
"Like I'll be threatened by someone that frankly belongs in a circus sideshow." Kasimar scoffed. "Watch your back, freakazoid; I'll slit your throat when you least expect it."
Monna Lisa lifted an eyebrow as she stood aside. This individual looked relatively interesting…
"Okay, that's all twenty of you. Before we begin, I'd like to congratulate you all…Well, most of you, anyway…For getting onto this show. In a moment, we will begin the adventure and start the game, but first, we must split you into teams." SSBFreak said. "Even though you all know what tribes you'll be on, follow me to the tribe mats."
The twenty players walked along the shore of the island and up onto the grass, where two mats were sitting on the ground, one silver and one brown.
"Okay. The silver tribe will consist of Kathy, Yorgue, Jericho, Monna Lisa, Matt, Mitchell, Saur, Robin, Arianna and Couscous." SSBFreak said as the ten players in question walked over to the silver mat and stepped on. "You ten will be the Harrack Tribe."
"Kinda weird name." Kathy lifted an eyebrow.
"Could be a lot woise." Couscous shrugged.
"That leaves the brown tribe to consist of the ten Total Drama players: Yannis, Zita, Wallace, Kasimar, Donny, Yessica, Xyly, Rheneas, Nakia and Helen." SSBFreak continued as the ten Total Drama players walked over to the brown mat and stepped on. "You ten will be the Gonaza Tribe."
"It's good that we're on the brown tribe." Helen shrugged. "Both silver and brown are not exciting, but brown is definitely the less-exciting of the two."
"I figured you'd probably like it." Donny muttered.
"Here are some maps to your new tribes, and I'll give you all a tip to go with them." SSBFreak said as he handed Jericho and Rheneas the tribe maps. "There is an Immunity Idol hidden at each camp, and they will be replanted every time they are used until the merge. I'll leave you two yourselves for the first few days before contacting you via treemail in a few days about your first challenge. I wish you good luck, because this game is going to be a long, exciting road for us to take to the finals."
With that, the two tribes turned and walked into the jungle, starting their trek towards their camps and starting the contest. Once they were gone, SSBFreak turned to the camera.
"39 Days…20 Players…And One Sole Survivor!"
