Well since the next chapter of Heartbreak and Triumph got deleted, because I had it stored in my mp3 player, and the thing got deleted when my mp3 player had to be formatted (As well as 190+ tracks that I love). I have no choice but to unleash the next big thing…TOTAL DRAMA BAND!!!
Copyrights-All songs belong to their respective bands, TDI belongs to Teletoon/Fresh.
Total Drama Band
Episode 1: Playing For Real
Part 1: Introduction
(A familiar dock is shown on camera, while the camera rolls around, it comes to the edge of the dock. A man, who many recognize as Chris McClean, the host of Total Drama Island/Action, walks into frame.)
Chris M. - Rock music…it's as old as time itself! And for another 8 weeks, you get to see 16 of the original 22 TDI cast members, as voted by you, the fans, try to rock n' roll. Chris McClean here, from Muskoka, Ontario, Canada at Camp Wawa…Rockwanakwa for the new season of the Total Drama Series! This year, it's not about just 16 separate "rockers" getting eliminated one-by-one, 4 bands will compete for $1,000,000, the winners will also get to tour with and open for American rock gods Aerosmith, and live the life as the greatest rock band ever! Here at Camp Rockwanakwa, the new home of drama, anything could happen. Get your music collection, because it's time for Total…Drama…BAND!!!
(The title card plays: "Superstar" by Saliva plays as four buses (with four people with instruments on each roof) head down a wide highway; one bus is knocked out when the basses' groove from the three other busses rips through the tires, another bus is knocked out when the extreme loudness of the combined vocal forces of the other busses' lead singers cracks the windshield, causing the driver to drive erratically into an old, abandoned gas station. The cameras pays their attentions to the front of the busses, panning out before the huge explosion from the gas station takes out one of the remaining busses. The remaining bus heads past a gate that's clearly marked, "FINISH LINE", the bus drives into the Air Rogers Arena™, past a billboard that exclaims "Aerosmith LIVE! With 'Winning Band' as the Opening Act." Then it cuts to the arena, packed in with fans, and the band (w/Aerosmith) playing Sweet Emotion. Then the Total Drama Band logo pops up on screen. Then it cuts straight back to Chris on the dock.)
Chris M. - We asked you, the fans, to vote for 16 of the original Total Drama Island cast, so they can compete for the grandest prize of all! We tallied the votes on the site, and I think you made some of the right picks. And… I think I see a boat now… Let's see who it is!
(The boat drops off a camper)
Chris M. - It's…Ezekiel!
(Ezekiel fist bumps Chris)
Ezekiel- What's up, Chris!
Chris M.- Nothing much man! You ready for the competition, dude?
Ezekiel- Yeah totally, dood (- is not a typo)!
Chris M. - Word to the wise, dude. Don't say anything stupid.
Ezekiel- You got it dood.
Chris M.- Go inside the mansion behind me, that's where you all are staying for the show.
Ezekiel- Wicked awesome house, man!
Chris- I know. We wasted the $100,000 that Owen traded up back at the Playa De Losers for this house. And speaking of Owen…There he is now!
(Ezekiel heads in as the boat drops off Owen.)
Chris M. - Owen! What is up, my man!
Owen- CHRIS! It's so awesome to see you again, man!
(Owen runs to and crushes Chris in a hug.)
Chris M.- (still being hugged) It's great to…ugh…see you too, Owen!
(Owen lets go.)
Owen- Hello, Camp Wawanakwa! It's so great to see you again!
Chris M. - Actually, its Camp Rockwanakwa now.
Owen- Oh... Hello, Camp Rockwanakwa!
Chris M. - God, I hope the rest of the cast get here soon. (Sees another boat) Look its Bridgette and Geoff!
(The next boat drops them off.)
Geoff- What is up Chrismeister!
Chris M. - The sky.
Geoff- Oh…yeah! HEY SKY! YOU ARE AWESOME BRA!
(Both Chris and Bridgette perform the patented Jean Luc Picard Face Palm Technique. Afterwards, Bridgette shows a shocked face.)
Bridgette- Geoff, we forgot your bass guitar on the plane!
Chris M.- Oh… you mean this?
(Chris holds up a shiny, blue Fender Precision Bass.)
Geoff- Whoa…How did you find this?
Chris M.- Oh, Chef followed all 16 of you onto your 10 separate planes.
Geoff- So Chef was that big old lady that kept kicking me in the shins every time me and Bridgette made out. (rubs a shin)
Chris M.- No, that was another old lady.
Geoff- Oh… well, let's go inside.
(The two lovebirds head in. Another boat arrives, Izzy jumps off, does a somersault and meets the dock face-first again…just kidding, she lands it perfectly.)
Chris- IZZY! It's good to see that you did get up close and personal with the dock.
Izzy- Yeah totally, I mean it was funny, but it hurt. I lost a back tooth when it happened… (Trails off as she walks into the mansion.)
Chris- And here comes the most controversial cast mate, it's Heather!
(The boat drops Heather off, almost 80% of her hair on her.)
Heather- I will win this, Chris, so why don't you just hand over the $1 million now.
Chris- (sarcastically) Oh yeah, everyone will surely forget what happened in the last two competitions.
(Flashbacks of what Heather did to everyone.)
Heather- Yeah, people can forget… (Walks off, but returns)…and word to the wise, my name's not Shirley. (Finally walks off.)
Chris- And here comes everyone's favorite cynical know-it-all, Noah.
(Another Boat drops off Noah.)
Noah- (sarcastically) Oh yay. We're going to be rockstars.
Chris- Noah, just imagine music class, but with banging drums, screeching guitars, and blistering vocals.
Noah- (again, sarcastically) Yippee. (Walks off)
Chris- And here comes another boat!
(Trent, with one hand on his guitar, and another on his bags, walks towards Chris.)
Trent- Finally! You guys actually did something right for once!
Chris- (Calm) What's that?
Trent- I mean, big house, touring 'round the world, it's just a great idea!
Chris- Actually, dude. We could only afford a trip to the Air Rogers Centre, the $1 million, some famous guest musicians, and Aerosmith.
Trent- AEROSMITH? AWESOME! (High fives Chris, then walks into the mansion.)
Chris- (sarcastically) He's really taking getting dumped really well.
(Another boat drops off Lindsay and Beth.)
Chris- And here comes Heather's ex-friends, Beth and Lindsay!
Lindsay- Chip, is there any fake tan cream here?
Chris- Sure, we saved up a lot of bottles just for you.
Lindsay- Yay!
Beth- I hope that this is better than last year, Chris.
Chris- Oh it is. Believe me!
Lindsay- So where are the cabins?
Chris- What are you saying, you guys are living in the house be behind me!
Lindsay- (exuberant) Really, Chip?
Chris- (frustrated) Just go inside.
(Beth and Lindsay go inside the house.)
Chris- And here comes the odd couple! Courtney and Duncan!
(Courtney and Duncan start walking towards Chris)
Courtney- Duncan, why are we doing this again?
Duncan- Come on, babe. Being a total rock star doesn't change your mind?
Courtney- I just don't know about this, Duncan.
Chris- Trust me, you'll enjoy it, while it lasts… Go inside, we got plenty of cool stuff.
(The two head inside, as another boat holding LeShawna and Harold, arrives.)
Chris- And speaking of odd couples…It's LeShawna and Harold!
LeShawna- Chris, do you have any food in there? There was no food on the plane, or on the boat, and I'm starving like a dog at Michael Vick's house.
Chris- Ooohhh… That had to burnt. And, yeah we got plenty of food inside.
LeShawna- Thanks. Come on suge.
(Harold and LeShawna head inside, as yet another boat arrives.)
Chris- Our next to last contestant, is been on the popularity fence for quite a while after TDA. It's Gwen.
Gwen- It seems you actually did something right.
Chris- That's what Trent said.
Gwen- I don't know, we just didn't seem to connect as we did on TDI, I just don't know why.
Chris- Well, to help someone out, we have an entire library of music in the back.
Gwen- Is there anything I would like?
Chris- Of course.
Gwen- I'm feeling kind of Smashing Pumpkins today.
Chris- We got all of their albums.
Gwen- Thanks. (Walks inside.)
Chris- As we wait for our last contestant, keep in mind, he's been a favorite by the ladies, for quite a while since losing in the most saddening matter. On TDI, he left loveless. On TDA, (I'm just guessing here) he was broken again. It's…
(The boat arrives, "Sad But True" by Metallica plays, as a figure dressed in a black shirt with a red and white stripe that has the Metallica logo on the front, and the circle logo on his shoulder, with black pants. He seems to be familiar, but he has darker hair than usual. He walks towards Chris; "Sad But True" pauses.)
Chris- Is that you, Cody.
Cody- Yeah it is.
Chris- What happened to you?
Cody- Well I thought I knew love like it was a real sure thing, but I fell and found my self in a sling.
Chris- Oh, well good luck with that.
(Cody walks off as the music returns to its regular volume.)
Chris- Man, the kid's really changed. Well I guess we can go inside.
(The camera changes to inside the huge mansion's play hall, Trent and Duncan are playing Rock Band 2, while Owen and Harold are playing Revolution X. LeShawna is talking to Lindsay and Beth, Courtney, Geoff and Bridgette are watching Trent and Duncan, Heather is watching E!, Noah is…you guessed it! Reading a book. Ezekiel is playing pool with Izzy, and Gwen is sitting in a chair, listening to the Smashing Pumpkins. All this is going on as Cody enters the room…and total silence surrounds the room, the only sounds that dare fight the silence are booing coming from the TV, Chelsea Handler on the other TV, and Steven Tyler saying "DON'T GIVE UP!" from the RevX machine. Cody walks to the most abandoned side of the room, away from all forms of human, and starts listening to his entire Metallica library on his iPod. The other 14 (sans Gwen, she's had her eyes closed while Cody walked by, enjoying the sounds of Billy Corgan))
Owen- Man, what's up with Cody?
Trent- I don't know.
Duncan- Maybe somethin' happened to him.
Bridgette- It's sad to see him act like this.
Geoff- Yeah, he usually is the party host, like me of the group.
Heather- You better not be suggesting that we help the little perv.
Geoff- I don't think he is in any mood to flirt.
Trent- Besides, he did a lot for us. Especially Gwen & me.
Heather- Whatever, I'm going back to watching Chelsea Lately.
(Heather walks back to the TV)
Trent- Any suggestions?
(Gwen opens her eyes to see the group (sans Heather) huddled up.)
Gwen- What's going on?
Owen- It's Cody.
Gwen- What about him?
Owen- Well…take a look.
(Owen points in Cody's direction; Gwen looks very shocked, in a sad manner.)
Gwen- Guys… I think it's my fault.
FLASHBACK
"Gwen, are you alright?" Cody found me crying the day before we all headed home after TDA, when Justin won it all.
"Go away, Cody." My tears dissolved. I knew what Cody was going to do, he was going to ask me out on a date, just days after Trent and I broke up; he was just going to catch me off the rebound.
"I'm just here to help. That's all." He said sincerely. But I ignored it.
"Bull****, I know why you're here, you're just here to catch me off the rebound." I said in anger.
"No, no, no, I heard you crying, and I figured that I should help you, like any friend would." The last words, I knew that they were as sincere as can be, threw me off the edge.
"YEAH RIGHT! Like I'm your friend!" I laughed loudly "Listen to me, Cody. I am not your friend. I will never be your friend. And as long as we're concerned, you will never get me. UNDERSTAND?!" I screamed loud enough to catch everyone's attention. Cody looked like he lost everyone he knew, his tears just dripped down like rain. As soon as he ran off, I finally realized what I did…
BACKFLASH
Trent- Wow, that must have hurt him really badly.
Courtney- How could you do that to a poor soul like his? He was just trying to help, and you stepped on him like a fly.
Gwen- I just…my sadness clouded my judgment.
LeShawna- Right, clouded your judgment. Sadness never clouds something like that, sista.
Gwen- You're right; I think I should at least apologize…
(The loudspeaker hits on, Chris begins to talk.)
Chris- Everybody to the auditorium, to begin the rules, and the separation into 4 rock bands.
(Everyone goes in to this big theatre like building, where they see Chris.)
Chris- Hello everybody! It's time to light this bad boy and start the competition! Now, to introduce one of our celebrities, a boy, who rising up in the rock charts, he is also a huge fan of the Total Drama Series, give it up for Nick D. of the Nick D. Project.
(A curtain rises, a big boy in a black sweater with a logo that says "Clear Fork Colts Football 2008" and green camo pants, a shaggy brown hair cut, with a Gibson SG, colored like the Cleveland Browns Helmet design, starts playing "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix. He goes up to the microphone. And starts to sing.)
Nick D- Purple haze all in my brain. Lately things just don't seem the same, I'm actin' funny, but I don't know why, 'Scuse me while I kiss the sky. Purple haze all around, don't know if I'm comin' up or down. Am I happy or in misery? Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me.
(Then a long solo plays, which silences all of the other instruments. After 30 seconds, Nick finishes off his solo, in turn ending the song. All 17 in attendance cheer at the guitar phenom.)
Chris- Everybody, Nick D.!
Nick D.- Thanks, Chris. We've brought you here because…I'm the co-host.
Chris- That's right, I'm not running the helm alone.
Owen- Where's Chef?
Chris- Duty calls. Anyway, Nick here separated all of you into 4 bands. But we will get to that after I explain the rules. As I said, we are separating the 16 of you into 4 bands of 4. The rules are as goes, Each week, we're going to have challenges, and the winners, receive immunity, and the losers, are up for elimination, and the losing team has to decide who's going out. But here's the kicker, after the challenges, the remaining teams are going to have a final showdown, when the teams will combine to make 2 teams composed of 4 rockers. So you have to be cautious on who you decide to kick out. The Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero games are here for you to have fun, and to inspire setlist songs for challenges. The winning band of the final challenge will receive $1 Million dollars cash, a opportunity to tour with Aerosmith, and the chance to become the biggest rock band of all time! Now we will separate you into teams.
Nick D.- Band 1 is composed of: Courtney, Duncan, Lindsay, and Owen.
(Confessional)
Duncan- Let's see if princess has any musical talent that involves a pick or a drumstick.
(Confessional Over)
Nick D.- Band 2 is made up of Heather, Izzy, Geoff, and Bridgette.
(Confessional)
Heather- Great! I got insane Izzy, party boy, and surf girl. I'm screwed.
(Confessional Over)
Nick D.- Band 3 is made up of Trent, Beth, Harold, and LeShawna. And Band 4 is composed of Ezekiel, Noah, Gwen and…Cody.
(Confessional)
Cody- Let the heartstring plucking begin
(Static)
Gwen- I know it's my fault, I just…(sighs).
(Confessional Over)
Chris- All right, rockers, get to your rooms, and find a song, because tonight you get to play for real!
Who will win the challenge? Will Gwen ever get the chance apologize to Cody? Find out on the next part of Total Drama Band!
P.S.: Is it overconfidence to have yourself co-host a sequal to TDA? JK.
