Alright, this is a story that I already posted before, but it was in the script style so not many people read it. So this is going to be me redoing it in the novel style. Not only will it probably be more popular, but I will be changing a lot of things like adding scenes. Maybe working on some plots. And most importantly, there is a location change, and it will no longer be at the old location that it was in the first place. To find out where it is this time, stay tuned and read. So basically what this story is is that Chris brought eight characters from each generation (RR does not count), and they are all participating in advanced virtual reality challenges. All based off popular video games from all genres. Now, you may say something along the lines of "Well that's not much work put into the challenges then" I'll have you know for each challenge that I spent a shit ton of time solely on research for games So yes, I devoted a lot of time to this story and I hope that you all enjoy it. Without further ado, let's get started with the introduction episode
.
.
The scenery was nice, and the birds were chirping. The animals were running around peacefully among one another. There was a school right in the background where this fair story shall be taking place, and it was a pretty decent school too. It was mostly made out of pale brown bricks,similar to beige but maybe a little darker. However, what really stood out was the school entrance. The entire part of the school entrance was sort of like a circle that had been cut open with its core exposed. The best part? It was completely made of a mosaic sort of glass. In front of the school was a singular windmill and a cube that was probably made in art class. All of it looked beautiful. On top of the school were several solar panels and the school itself was in the middle of a field on the edge of town. It was truly amazing. [1] Nothing could ruin this mome- Oh shit, Chris is here…

Episdoe 1
The New, the Old, and the Newer.
.
Chris walked up to the front of the school; a small breeze blew his hair a little. He had a big grin on his face.
"Hello there once again viewers! We are starting off another season of Total Drama! I am your host! Chris McLean! Now, you might be wondering what type of cast I have in store for you all this time. Is it new people? Is it old people? Who knows? I do of course! This time we are bringing back people who have already participated! Exciting, right? Now, I decided to choose eight people from each cast to be fair. Although if you were part of the second cast, you had more chances of being picked… But besides that, we better start introducing the contestants! Starting, with the third cast! And here they come now!"
A school bus pulled up with presumably eight people in it that were very unlucky to be here. And the first person to walk out was… Samey! [2]
Samey walked out of the bus and looked around, smiling at Chris and the cameras. That was before she was shoved out of the bus by Amy
"How come SHE was introduced before ME" Amy asked in a fit of rage.
Samey had fallen on the ground and one of the three suitcases she had been carrying opened, revealing that it was full of rocks "Huh… Amy…" she groaned out, "why are there...rocks in one of your...suitcases?"
Amy looked over at her and smirked "Oh? That? Well I wanted you to carry a bunch of rocks for no reason"
Samey managed to get up and slowly walked away. She felt someone pat her on the back;
It was Jasmine.
"Don't let er botha ya too much" She said as she gave Samey a warm smile.
Samey smiled back at her, "Thanks Jasmine."
"Ain't that cute! Samey's first friend. I never thought I'd live to see the day" Amy smirked some more as she teased her sister.
This season's confessional will be in the school's janitor closet. It's small, cramped, and there's probably a bucket of urine. Samey looked around the confessional booth tentatively before sighing.
"I thought that standing up to her last season would make everything better for me; b I got in trouble with my dad for getting her voted off! Now this hasn't resolved ANYTHING!"
The next returning camper to get off the school bus was the 'evil' 'genius'... Max! He looked around the place.
"So," Max said, "you mean to tell me this season will be happening at a… school?"
Chris looked at Max "Yup!"
Max thought for a few moments before smirking ever so evilly. "Perfect! This will be the best place for a secret lair! MUHAHAHAHA-" he started to cough "Hmm... I thought I perfected my evil laugh. Nonetheless, I have all season to make my villainous laugh a MASTERPIECE!"
"Did someone say piece a cake?" The next contestant asked, walking out of the bus… It waaaas… Sugar… Dammit…
Max turned to look at her and sighed "No… I said masterpiece! Once I take over, you are the first one to go" He walked away from her to go stand beside the other contestants
Dave walked out of the bus next, not looking the happiest he could have been. He doesn't say much and moved over to the all the other contestants, trying not to talk to anyone.
A boy ran out of the bus next and walked around like he owned the place; more like he wanted to own the place. He headed over to Dave, "Hey Dave, what's wrong? Are you still bummed out about last season with the whole Sky thing?" The voice said to Dave.
Dave looked up to see who it was and was surprised to see it was Topher. He hadn't really paid attention to anyone on the bus besides Sky.
"Don't worry man, it's not like anything bad happened," Topher patted his shoulder, "Except maybe a girl turning you down on national television! But that happens all the time" He brought Dave closer and made him face the camera, "Now smile for the camera!" After a few seconds of staying in the same position he walked over to Chris "So, I heard you might need a co-host soon."
"Yeah, I still have yet to lay my eyes on someone qualified," Chris told him.
"I'm qualified!" Topher replied back.
Chris ignored him and started to count the remaining contestants "Wait…that's only seven…where's the last one?" He asked looking around.
"Ya mean Sky?" Jasmine asked, "I'll go get her" She turned around and walked into the bus and looked around for Sky. Walking all the way to the back, she found her sitting in the back seats.
"What's bothering ya, mate?"
Sky slowly looked up to Jasmine and sighed "It's Dave. I just don't want to be around him after what happened last season…"
"Ya can't let that keep eating ya up like dat. What happened, happened." Jasmine tried to reassure her, "Now come on, we gotta go."
Sky sighed again, eventually getting up and following Jasmine out of the bus.
Chris saw Jasmine and Sky leaving the bus and grinned, "There we go! All the people from the third cast!"
Topher popped up right beside Chris, "After this small commercial break, we will bring you the people of the second cast!"
Chris looked at Topher angrily, "That's my line! Now go join everyone else!" He turned back to face the camera "But yes, we have a small commercial break, and then we will be right back!"
((A commercial for Fancy Feast plays)) [3]
Chris was standing in front of the eight contestants that have already been introduced. "Now, it's time to get on with the second cast. Speaking of which! Here's the second bus!" Another school bus stopped beside the first one and the door opened. "And the first one introduced is…" There was an awkward long silence as no one got out of the bus "Huh… Maybe they-"
"I said wake up!" A female voice yelled and the sound of kicking was heard.
A boy was kicked out of the bus and hit his head against a pole. He stumbled around a bit "Duuuuur" It was Brick. After stumbling around for a bit, he collapsed on the ground.
"IIIIt's Brick!" Chris said.
Instinctively, Brick stood up and saluted Chris "Sergent McArthur reporting for duty! Sir!"
"Shut up soldier," said the feminine voice that belonged to the kicker. The person who exited the bus revealed themselves to be none other than Jo.
"Yes ma'am…" Brick said before walking to go join the contestants from the other cast. "Although I don't know why I was asleep. I had set my alarm clock to wake me up early…"
Another girl walked out shaking a can, "Oh? Dat? Yeah, I broke it!" Anne-Maria said.
"What? Why?" Brick asked confused.
"Ya think I would let dat ruin ma beauty sleep? Puh-lease! We left 'round midnight last night. I need ta rest!" She rolled her eyes, "And how could you even sleep with miss liar over hur' yapping all night?" She addressed the person behind her, who turned out to be Staci.
"My great great great great grandfather invented alarms. Before that, people just had to wake themselves up" She said with a smile; she honestly thought she was telling the truth.
"Just shut up already!" Anne-Maria had turned to face Staci, "Ya drivin' meh crazy!"
Someone else had made it off the bus; it was Scott. He glanced over at the people he was used to seeing with a blank expression, but had a confused one when he looked over at the contestants from the third cast, "I don't remember these people ever being on TV."
"We were right after All-Stars," Sky informed him.
"Eh, I stopped caring when I wasn't on the next season," Scott remarked as he joined the others.
"Aww man…" a male voice trailed off; it was Sam. He trudged out of the bus holding a 3DS and sighed, "Does this place have anywhere I can charge this? It died on the trip he-" He peered over at the school "Hey, what gives? I thought we were going to another island, not a school…"
"Yeah, our producers felt like the islands were getting boring and suggested a school, for some… reason" Chris replied with a cheeky grin.
Sam merely shrugged and headed over to the rest of the contestants.
"Don't worry Sam," a sweet, dreamy voice said, "I think you'll have fun this season without your game."
Sam turned to face the girl who had spoken, "What do you mean Dawn?"
She smiled softly, "You'll see soon. You'll enjoy this season; trust me."
"Alright…" Sam was skeptical at first; but then again, when had Dawn really been wrong before?
Finally, the last person from the second cast was a big man. A man of very few, better yet, no words.
"Welcome back B," Chris replied with a wave. B returned the gesture by waving back at him.
"Good to have the silent genius back!" Chris said with two thumbs up.
This had earned someone's attention. Max walked over to B and looked up at him, which was rather comical considering their height differences. "There can only be one genius around here! And that's me!" Unbeknownst to them all, due to them paying attention to Max's declaration, the third bus had arrived and stopped.
Scott snerked [4] and rolled his eyes, "Don't flatter yourself."
"You're one to talk," came a sarcastic voice that was exiting the bus. "You probably flatter yourself as much as pretty face over here," Noah said.
"Yeah, self flattery is my thing," Justin said as he poked his head out of the bus window.
"Because people don't flatter you as much," Noah rolled his eyes.
"Hey! I still get tons of flattery," he replied with a frown.
"Right," Noah scoffed, "half from yourself. The other half is from your reflection, though technically those are the same thing," He smirked. A few laughs were heard from the bus.
Justin lowered his mirror and glared at Noah, "At least I get flattery," he said turning his nose up.
Noah had blank expression, "I don't really care about flattery."
Justin smirked, "I can tell. You look terrib-"
"Just shut up already!" A girl demanded. She had grabbed Justin's legs and shoved him through the window. When he landed on the ground, his glass in his mirror shattered.
Eva stomped out of the bus and looked down at Justin with glee at the prospect of destroying his precious mirror.
Justin looked at his broken mirror and kneeled next to it, "My mirror, my beautiful reflection is gone," he whimsically stated with a look of horror on his face.
Noah had a smug expression on his face and glanced at Justin, crossing his arms, "And there goes 50% of your daily flattery. Now how will you ever live?"
"How am I going to check to see if I have wrinkles!?" Justin questioned with wide eyes.
"Dude," the next person voiced ",You're 19. You aren't getting wrinkles any time soon," Trent said as he stepped out of the bus.
Justin quickly turned to look at Trent "Are you sure?"
Noah had gotten an idea, "I've heard stressing out makes you lose hair."
The model was even more worried than before, "W-What!?"
((In the confessional booth))
Justin was the most worried so far "Is this...stressing out?" A singular strand of hair fell from his head, "AH!" He covers his face "Don't look at me! I'm hideous!"
((Back outside the school))
Samey's eyes lit up when she saw Trent, "It's Trent! I really love his music as well as the Drama Brother's! Hi Tr-"
Amy shoved Samey out of the way, "I loved his music first!"
Samey fell onto the ground "But… but you told me you hated his music."
"Yeah! But now that he is here, I might as well start pretending to like it," She smirked at Samey.
"You do know… I can hear you right?" Trent was standing close by to them.
Amy was thinking of something to say and turned towards Samey, "Stop lying about liking his music! See! He can hear us!"
Samey glared at Amy, "You were the one lying!"
Trent walked over to stop the fight, "Leave the girl alone."
Amy grinned victoriously and acted all proud, "See? Trent agrees with me."
"What? No I don't," He walked over to Samey and extended a hand, "Need a hand?"
Samey blushed slightly and grabbed his hand "Yeah,"
He pulled her up back onto her feet.
Chris looks over at them and smiles "Aww… touching," Chris rolled his eyes and made a gagging noise, "Next!"
Lindsay slowly walked out of the bus and waved at everyone "Hello Cres," She smiled at Chris.
"It's Chris…" He corrected her.
She put a hand in front of her mouth "It is?"
Chris slowly nodded at her "Yeah…"
Lindsay playfully looked up "Ohhh!"
"Hey, Lindsay! I'M GOING TO JUMP OFF FROM THE TOP OF THE BUS AND MAKE A KILLER LANDING!" A voice yelled.
Lindsay turned around and looked up "You can do it Tyler!" she cheered.
Trent walked over to Chris "How did he get up there?"
Chris was looking up at Tyler, "No clue, but this should make for ratings."
Tyler lifted his arms in the air and started running towards the edge of the bus. Instead of jumping, he simply slipped and landed on the ground. Now one would normally go ouch. But he landed on his head. This is when you yell OUCH! But to make matters worse, he landed on the rocks that were from one of Amy's suitcase "OOOWWWWWW" Was all he could manage to yell.
Amy turned to Samey and glared at her "SAMEY! WHY DID YOU LEAVE YOUR ROCKS LYING AROUND!"
"But they're your rocks!" She replied back to her.
"Now when it needs to be moved around," She grinned evilly.
"Ladies, you both need to stop fighting. Can't you two just get along?"
"I'm not sure who's more annoying. Da girl dat keeps talkin' lies. Or da girls dat keeps fighting" Anne-Maria rolled her eyes.
A small boy ran out of the bus and hid himself behind B.
B took a peek at who had hidden behind him and realized it was Cody.
Cody looked up at B "Oh… Sorry… I hope you don't mind me hiding behind you…"
He simply gave Cody a thumbs up.
Suddenly, a fan girl came running out of the bus "Oh Codykins! Where are you?"
Dawn walked over to Sierra "I haven't seen him.. Maybe he somehow stayed in the bus?"
"Really!?" Sierra's eyes lit up as she ran back into the bus.
Dawn turned to Cody and gave him a thumbs up.
Cody politely returned the favour with a big smile.
((Confessional booth))
Noah had his arms crossed as he looked at the camera "This is only day one, and I can already tell this is not going to end well…"
((Back outside))
"Actually! Sierra! He's out here!" Chris yelled out.
He turned to look at Chris "Why!?"
Sierra ran out of the bus and looked around "Where is he?"
Chris smiled and pointed to B, "Behind him."
She squealed, ran towards B, and grabbed Cody, sucking him into a big hug "Why didn't you wake me up when the bus got here?"
Noah looked over at the school "So… what? We have a higher budget?"
Chris glanced over at Noah, "Yeah! Way higher than before. And the producers actually wanted you guys to stay in a nice building for once. Since they really liked it in TDWT and AS. At least the winners will be staying in the nice part of the school. Now, if everyone could follow me into the school, that would be great" He entered the school by it's front entrance.
All twenty four contestants followed him into the school. He let them through the main place of the school which was a round circular spot that lead to various locations, like the cafeteria, an elevator, the library, and one that lead to a hallway. The hallway is where they were going.
"So what part of the school are we going to see?" Sierra asked Chris while still holding Cody's hand.
"We are heading towards the gym," He replied to Sierra. A distinct "Yeah!" could be heard coming from Tyler.
"Ugh… not the gym," Sam said, "I hope we don't have to run for our first challenge"
"Well… there will be some sort of running involved. But not the kind you think" Chris said as they eventually arrived at the gym. He opened the gym doors to what look like a luxurious place. This was probably where the winners were going to be able to sleep.
"Wow… this is actually really nice" Sky smiled.
"My great great uncle invented the gym. Before him. People couldn't-" Staci started to say but Anne-Maria had hit her over the head with a her hairspray.
"This is obviously were the winning team will be staying." Chris said as he turned to face everyone. "Now if you can follow me to the next one" He walked over and opened the door that let to the other part of the gym. This one looked really bad but actually. It was pretty liveable.
"This isn't that bad" Scott said. "My house is worse than this"
Chris turned to look at Scott and grinned mischievously, "Oh, you think so? Well we have one more on the list. So if you could all follow me…" He walked over to another door and opened it. Leading to the last part of the gym. This one was complete shit. Spiders and rats were roaming around and Cody could have sworn he saw something similar to Ezekiel out of the corner of his eyes.
"Huh… Chris? Why are there three places?" Sam asked, looking around.
"Obviously it means that there is three teams!" Topher told everyone. "Chris is becoming too predictable."
"Topher, shut it! But yes, there are three teams. And I will name them right now. On the first team… We have… Eva."
Eva released a low grunt.
"Jasmine."
She simply looked at Eva and gave her a small smile, but it wasn't received well.
"Justin, Noah."
A synchronized "Oh no" was heard from both of them.
((Confessional booth))
"Why him?" Justin was getting mad.
~static~
Noah sighed and rolled his eyes "I would rather have Ezekiel than him" There was silence. Noah looked up and saw something that looked similar to Ezekiel and started to freak out.
((Back in the gym))
"Sam, Scott, Staci, and last but not least, Topher. You guys will be known as the Virtual Conquerors."
"Virtual Conquerors?" Sam asked. What an oddly specific name.
Chris coughed to get everyone's attention again "Next tea-"
Topher snatched the paper he was reading off, "Team two will be Amy, B, Cody, Dawn, and Max."
"So far so good…" Cody said.
"Samey, Sierra" Topher continued, while Chris tried to get the paper back from him.
Samey froze. She ended up to be on the same team as Amy, again!
"No! Not S-" Cody started but he never did get to finish before he was squeezed into a hug.
"EEEE! We're on the same team! Isn't that amazing?" Sierra said while hugging him.
"Yeah… totally" Cody said, still getting squeezed.
"And finally… Trent" Topher finished.
Samey gave a small smile. At least he's on the team, she thought to herself.
"You guys will be known as the Gam-" Topher started but Chris snatched the paper away from him.
"You guys will be known as Gamer Gang," He sent a glare towards Topher. "As for the last team… It will include Anne-Maria, Brick, Dave, Jo, Lindsay, Sky, Sugar, and Tyler! You will be known as Pixel Perfect!"
"Alright!" Sam said "What's with all these references to-"
Chris turned towards Sam "Zip it! And follow me again. Everything will be explained" He walked out of the gym. Everyone looked at each other before following him. He took several turns and eventually went upstairs where some of the classrooms of the school were. He lead them into the classroom. "Everyone! Take a seat!"
"Are we going to be learning stuff? Tyler asked as he took a seat
Everyone else followed suit and did the same.
"No, you wished this was how they taught" He grinned and suddenly. No one could see anything.
.
.
((Somewhere))
Trent opens his eyes and starts to look around "Where… are we…?
Cody was beside him on the ground. He slowly got up, clutching something in his hands "It looks like… we're…" He cut himself off when he noticed what he was holding "Is this… a gun?"
A voice came booming over in the sky "Hello everyone! You might be wanting an explanation. Well, it's simple! Really. This season's theme is… VIDEO GAMES!:
((With Virtual Conquerors))
"VIDEO GAMES! YES! I GOT THIS ONE IN THE BAG!" Sam cheered out in excitement.
Scott simply looked at him and glared.
((Confessional booth))
Scott was leaning back in the chair in the janitor closet "I can't have Sam winning all of our challenges. He'll be impossible to take out in the merge! Hmm...:"
((Back in the game))
Sam took a look at his gun "So… what shooting game is this? There's so many at this point it's hard to tell…"
"This game is going to be Call of Duty!" His booming voice spoke again "But first, you must be having some concerns on how this is safe. You will only feel a moderate pain if you get hurt in here. And besides from that. It's pretty safe. In the event that we all get trapped here in some bad SAO rip off. The machine is equipped to keep you sustained for a few weeks...probably"
((Back with Gamer Gang))
"Wait… we have to kill people?" Dawn was very against the idea.
"It's only virtual killing! It's not like they will actually die. Although they will feel the pain!" Chris's laughter could be heard in the background.
((With Pixel Perfect))
"Hmm…?" Jo thought for a few moments "A military game? This should be easy! I nominate myself as team leader!"
Sky lifted up her hand "Wouldn't Brick make a better lead-" She was quickly cut off.
"DON'T SPEAK TO YOUR LEADER LIKE THAT!" Jo yelled at the poor girl "Now! Everyone! Follow me!" She starts heading in a direction while holding her gun.
"MA'AM! YES MA'AM!" Brick yelled as he started to run behind her. Everyone else just shrugs and follows them.
"The goal this time! Is to get the most kills! Good luck teams!"
((In the real world))
Chris was looking at multiple screens showing various angles of the games. "With that twist!" He turned to face the camera "Which team will win? Which team will send someone home? And which team will neither win, nor send someone home? Find out next time on Total! Drama! VIRTUAL! REALITY!"
Chef was standing beside him "Is that really want you are going to name this season?"
"Huh… yeah? What?" He crossed his arms "got any better ideas?"
Chef thought for a moment before shaking his head "No, I don't."
"That's what I thought."
[1] This is totally not my school. You have no proof.
[2] Deal with it.
[3] Of course I'm still going to include that commercial.
.
I hope you enjoyed this episode made by yours truly. I think it turned out two times as better as the original episode and there's just so much more added to it. Not to mention the creativity I placed into some stuff. The confessional booth was a much needed improvement and Ezekiel even makes a cameo. Which makes Noah's line about Ezekiel even better. I like the fact that I used the gym as the team dividers. It feels more spacious than the busses that they originally had. And also, the Blockbuster building was probably the stupidest thing I've ever written in a story. And I've been writing for 3-4 years. So that's saying something. I'm going to tone down Sierra a lot and not make her 100% Cody crazy because I don't believe that's what her character should be like. I'm going to try and make sure I write more lines for Sugar and Lindsay and maybe even give them a plot. And I'm going to try and give Jasmine a decent plot. I'm going to not rush a few plots and actually give them time to. And most importantly. I'm going to fix that damn Call of Duty episode. Worst episode I wrote because I was just didn't know what to do. And the elimination cause was pretty stupid. So here's to a great remake!
