As some of you may know, my rewrite stories are on a hiatus. It just wasn't as fun as it used to be so I'm on break from them for the next few months . However, I have a lot of new ideas I want to try and I'm going to be starting this new series over the hiatus. I was planning on a new non-rewrite fanfic since early August I wanna say and I have asked around about some of my ideas. I originally had something much bigger in mind. However, I went over a lot of a ideas and in the end I decided on this one since it was the least elaborate. Since this is the first non-rewrite story I'm doing I want the simplest idea. Also, just a heads up, the way I write confessionals is slightly more stylized now. Let me know what you think of that. Anyway, enjoy reading.


The episode opened up in the underground control room of Pahkitew Island. Someone was sitting in a chair with their back away from the camera. The chair pivoted around to reveal the host Chris McLean sitting in it.

"Welcome back Total Drama fans!" Chris announced. "It's been a few months since you've seen us. We've had time to repair the damage Scarlett had done and we even got Dave off the island... Yeah, let's just say he was a little ticked off about us letting him get attacked by the bear."

Chris awkwardly tugged at his collar.

The camera cut to Chris sitting on a large rock by the beach.

"Just like last season we don't have those nice cozy cabins most of our competitors are used to." Chris said. "But due to some angry parents complaining about how leaving teenagers out in the woods might be considered "Child endangerment", we have some living quarters. But more on that later."

The scene once again changed to Chris walking through the forest.

"Now, you're probably wondering how we selected the contestants for this season." Chris said. "In this show there have been great physical players..."

Footage of Lightning on Boney Island hitting a fish into the air when it jumped out of the water during the second episode of All-Stars was played.

"Ha ha! Fish, you've been struck by Lightning!" Lightning said.

"Great brainy players..."

The footage changed to Scarlett standing in front of a tree full of monkeys and talking to her team during the sixth episode of Pahkitew Island.

"Our best chance to find out which one of them has the coin is by conducting a neuroscientific experiment." Scarlett said. "I mean, it's no secret that there's hyperactivity in the mirror neurons in primates, right?"

"And players that are just fun to be around."

Footage of Owen arriving at Camp Wawanakwa in the very first episode of the series was shown next.

"Chris! What's happening!" Owen exclaimed. "Ha ha ha! This is awesome! Woo-hoo!"

"But on the other hand, we've had players who suck at challenges..."

The footage cut to Tyler strapped to a torture rack in the London episode of World Tour with Noah and Owen standing near him.

"Stop! Oh stop it's too much!" Tyler begged.

"You realize we haven't started yet?" Noah asked.

"Players who are as dumb as a box of nails..."

The camera cut to Ella activating her parachute as she fell towards the ground in the first episode of the previous season. A toy stuffed bear with a parachute on their back came out of her parachute.

"I'm glad you're safe little bear." Ella said as she continued to fall.

"And players who couldn't socialize to save their life."

The footage switched over to Dawn talking to Zoey on the beach during the first episode of Revenge of the Island.

"Your soul reads like an open book." Dawn said as she grabbed on to Zoey's hands. "You had such lonely childhood."

Zoey jerked her hand away from Dawn.

The camera cut back to Chris walking along the beach.

"That's right folks, eighteen of our worst placing competitors are coming back." Chris said. "In fact, only one of them has made ever made the merge... And even then it barely counts. So stick around to see which of these rejects becomes the big winner. Right here on, Total. Drama. Losers!"


(Theme Song)


The scene faded to Chris standing on the beach with Chef next to him.

"Welcome back." Chris said. "Our eighteen competitors are on their way back right now. We're seeing which one of these idiots has what it takes to win the grand prize of... One. Million. Dollars!"

Chef took out a briefcase and opened it to reveal the money inside.

"Man, that's a whole lotta cash." Chef remarked.

"Stick to the script, Chef." Chris said.

"Sorry." Chef said.

"Anywho, these eighteen bozos are on their way right now." Chris said. "In fact, here comes one of them right now."

The shot cut to a speedboat driven by an intern out on the water approaching the island. Sitting in the passenger seat of the boat was Eva who menacingly glared into the camera.

"First up, it's generation one competitor Eva. Who we already gave a second chance by letting her return at the merge. But she totally blew it." Chris narrated.

The boat arrived on the shore and she stepped off of it.

"I'll have you know that I was only voted off because that dirty no good lowlife Heather cheated!" Eva snapped at Chris.

"Or maybe, you've just got a horrible personality." Chris said.

"Take it back!" Eva yelled. "I have a great personality!"

Chef ran over to Eva and held her back.


(Confessional: Eva)

"Uh... I might have some minor anger issues I need to go over." Eva admitted. "But I'm trying to work on it. So I guess that counts for something."


Another boat was scene approaching the island. This time with Rodney riding in it.

"Next, it's last seasons red haired farm boy, self proclaimed ladies man, and weirdo: Rodney!" Chris announced.

Rodney's boat docked and he got down from it.

"Wow, sure is nice to be back here." Rodney said.

"Nice to have you too." Chris said. "Just do us a favour and don't be all... Weird." Chris said.

"Weird? I don't know what you're..." Rodney began before he trailed when he saw Eva.

He stared at her with a blank look on his face and his mouth open.

"Yo, Rodney, you in there?" Chris asked as he waved his hand in front of Rodney's face.

"Do you see flowers and angels?" Rodney asked.

"No. Nobody does but you." Chris said. "In fact, you might wanna get that looked at."

"Why?" Rodney asked.

"Just get out of here." Chris said.

Rodney nodded and walked up to Eva.

"Hi." Eva said as she extended her hand to him. "I'm Eva."

"Hello name my- Is name- I'm Rodney!" Rodney stuttered.

"Well... I already hate you." Eva said.


(Confessional: Rodney)

"Eva seems pretty nice." Rodney said. "She's not like my previous girlfriends. Except for maybe Sandy. Or Christine. Or Avery. Or-"


The third boat sailed towards the island. This time carrying Dawn on it.

"Next up, it's freaky hippie girl: Dawn!" Chris announced.

Dawn daintily stepped off the boat once she arrived.

"Thank you." Dawn said to the driver before the boat left.

Chris walked up to Dawn.

"Dawn, I'm going to be nice to you just for now. Wanna know why?" Chris asked.

"Well, I am rather curious." Dawn said.

"You see your a fan favourite." Chris explained. "But you're also shy, creepy, and nonathletic. Meaning you're the opposite of reality TV material."

"I don't get it. What are you trying to say?" Dawn asked.

"I'm saying that you've got a zero point zero shot at winning." Chris said. "I just wanted to break that to you in a polite way. But try and entertain the fans at least."

"Okay." Dawn said before she walked to the other two. "However, only time will tell how well I shall perform."


(Confessional: Dawn)

"I was very shocked to hear that I'm a fan favourite." Dawn said. "I don't watch very much television so I was unaware of this. It is quite the pleasant surprise and it really gives me motivation to do better."


The fourth boat with Tyler aboard it arrived at the island.

"After being outsmarted by a chicken and then by an alien, Tyler's back!" Chris announced.

Tyler tried to step down from his boat only to trip over and smash his face into the sand.

"Gah! I think I bit my tongue!" Tyler exclaimed.

"Can somebody help him out?" Chris asked.

"I'd do it but I don't feel like it." Chef said.

"That's fair..." Tyler weakly said.

Dawn walked over to Tyler and tried to pull him up from the ground but was unable to.

"My, you are quite heavy." Dawn commented.

"It's all muscle. I swear." Tyler said.

She managed to finally pull him up from the ground.

"Thanks a lot lady." Tyler said. "I'm Tyler by the way."

"Pleasure to meet you." Dawn said as she shook his hand. "I'm Dawn. Mind if I read your palm?"

"Uh... No thank you." Tyler said.


(Confessional: Tyler)

"I've got this reputation of being a jock who can't play sports." Tyler said. "I wanna turn it around this time. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad people have something to laugh at. I just want it to be not me."


Another speedboat, this time carrying Topher, approached the island.

"Next it's my super annoying superfan: Topher!" Chris announced. "... I can't be unbiased all the time, okay."

Topher stepped off the boat.

"Chris, Chris, Chris, it is a wonder to see you once again." Topher said. "You look different. What is it? New hairdresser? Plastic surgery?"

"Y'see, this is why I don't like you." Chris said.

"Too afraid of being replaced?" Topher asked.

"Didn't we go over this last season?" Chris asked. "I shot you out of a cannon."

"Oh I remember. And I will learn from those mistakes and then walk out of here with that million dollars." Topher said.

"Whatever." Chris said.

Topher walked over to the other contestants.


(Confessional: Topher)

"I've learned a thing or two from my time on here previously." Topher said. "I'm focusing less on getting rid of Chris and focusing more on getting that prize money. So watch out everyone else because the Topher Experience is about to take you all down."


A fifth ship with Staci aboard it neared the island.

"And here comes nobody's favourite contestant: Staci!" Chris announced as the boat stopped.

Staci got down from it.

"Did you know that those little plastic things on the end of shoelaces were invented by my great aunt Vera?" Staci asked. "Yah, before her shoes were way harder to tie."

"How is this relevant to anything?" Chris asked.

"It's not." Staci said. "I just like telling people about my family."

"Please move over to the others." Chris said.

"But I'm not done talking." Staci said.

"Trust me, you're probably going to be doing a lot of that." Chris said.

Staci walked over to the others and stood next to Topher.

"Hi! I'm Staci." Staci introduced herself as she forcefully grabbed Topher's hand and began to shake it.

"Yeah... I remember you. From Revenge of the Island, right?" Topher asked.

"Mmhmm, yep. Glad you recognized me. Lotsa people aren't able to for some reason." Staci said. "Weird, right?"

"Can't imagine why..." Topher said as he tried to pry his hand away from Staci's grip.


(Confessional: Staci)

"I'm really exited to be back here." Staci said. "Yah, I come from a family of winners. Not a family of people who get voted out first. I'm gonna do a good job this time."


The next speedboat approached with two people aboard it this time: Katie and Sadie.

"Let's give it up for the inseparable duo of Katie and Sadie!" Chris announced.

The two best friends jumped down from their boat once it had stopped.

"Eee! I'm already having so much fun!" Sadie cheered.

"I know, me too." Katie said. "This new island looks so cool."

"That's 'cause it's mostly artificial." Chris interjected.

"Wait, what?" Sadie asked.

"You'll see." Chris said.

"Ooh, sounds like fun." Katie said.

"It won't be." Chris siad.

"Aw... But I like fun." Sadie said.


(Confessional: Katie and Sadie)

"Me and Katie haven't played in like, forever." Sadie said. "But we think we've got a pretty good chance."

"Yeah, we do everything together. As long as we don't get in a fight again we'll do fine." Katie said.

"You think we can both make it to the finals together?" Sadie asked

"OMG! That would literally be the best!" Katie cheered.


The following boat also had two contestants aboard it. This time it was Amy and Sammy.

"And now, it's the duo that wishes they were separated: Amy and Samey!" Chris announced.

The two girls got off their boat after it arrived.

"I'll have you know I don't want to be separated from Samey... Well, most of the time." Amy said.

"And I want everyone here to know my name isn't Samey." Sammy said. "It's-"

Chris suddenly put his hand over Sammy's mouth.

"Nobody really cares." Chris said. "Now, you and your big sister go join the others."

Sammy removed Chris' hand from her mouth.

"She's not even older than me by that much. It's only seventeen minutes." Sammy pointed out. "That's like, less than half-an-hour."

"Once again, nobody cares." Chris said.

The two of them went over to the others. Sammy stood next to Topher and tapped on his shoulder.

"Hey Topher. Remember me? From last season?" Sammy asked him.

"Oh yeah, you were the twin without that thing on your face. I'm totally blanking on the name. Is it Sarah?" Topher guessed.

"Close enough." Sammy said before abruptly changing topics. "So have have things been since I saw you last time?"

"To be honest, I hate small talk. Mind if we do this some other time?" Topher asked.

"Oh... Yeah, sure." Sammy said.


(Confessional: Sammy)

"I feel a lot less insecure since the last time I was on here." Sammy said. "I've grown as a person and I've made a lot of great memories. Especially with Jasmine. Also, one of the greatest moments of my life was when I poisoned Amy... Out of context that made me sound awful. But trust me, she got what was coming to her."


Another boat with Brick inside it was seen coming towards the beach.

"Next, it's the slightly cowardly army boy, Brick!" Chris announced.

Brick hopped off his boat and saluted Chris.

"Brick McArthur reporting for Total Drama duty! Sir!" Brick announced.

"Glad to see your enthusiasm." Chris said. "That'll be gone soon."

"Good to know..." Brick said as he cautiously walked over to the others.

Brick stood next to Eva and extended his arm to greet her.

"Hi, nice to meet a fellow athlete." Brick said.

"I don't like shaking hands. Got it?" Eva said.

"Yes ma'am. I understand." Brick said. "I'm Brick by the way."

"I heard you when you left the boat." Eva said. "Everyone did."

"Oh..." Brick trailed off. "So what's your name?"

"Please stop talking to me." Eva said.


(Confessional: Brick)

"Eva seems like someone I'll either get along with or fight with a lot." Brick said. "She reminds me of a girl on the other season I was on: Jo. I feel like things will go well for us."


The tenth boat with B inside it went over to the island.

"Say hello to silent genius Beverly! AKA B!" Chris announced.

B got down from his speedboat and waved at the other contestants.

"So Bev, got anything to say?" Chris jokingly asked.

B shook his head no and then walked to the contestants.

"Yeah... He's a little quiet." Chris said to the camera.

The camera moved out to the water with the next boat going towards the beach. Aboard said boat was Noah.

"Say hello to one of our biggest fan favourites... Noah!" Chris announced.

Noah stepped down and looked at the cast.

"Hmm... So this is it." Noah said. "Well, Eva's here so that's a plus."

"Isn't it fun to be back here?" Chris asked.

"Not really." Noah said. "I've been on way better reality shows than this one."

"Oh yeah, I saw you on that racing show." Tyler said. "Nice work bro."

"Hmph, traitor." Chris remarked.

"I think you're overreacting a little." Noah said.

"I'm not overreacting." Chris denied. "Now go over to everyone else. Traitor."

"Whatever, weirdo." Noah said.

Noah walked over to the contestants already on the beach and stood in between Amy and Sammy.

"Mind if I stand here?" Noah asked.

"Nope." Sammy said.

"I do mind quite a bit." Amy said.

"Don't really care." Noah said.

"I'm Samey by the way." Sammy said to Noah. "I mean Sammy! You know what, either one works. Nobody remembers the right name anyway."

"Oh... Uh, okay then." Noah said. "I'm going to move somewhere else."


(Confessional: Noah)

"I didn't really pay attention to any of the seasons after the last one I was in." Noah admitted. "But judging from the twins, that weird unibrow guy with the dog tags, the redheaded muscle man, and that hippie looking girl with the long hair... Chris certainly chose some bigger personalities to be on the show. To say the least."


A boat with Ella in the back of it sailed towards the island.

"Hello everybody!" Ella exclaimed as she waved to the people on the island.

"It's queen of unnecessary songs: Ella!" Chris narrated.

Ella's speedboat stopped and allowed her to get down from it.

"I am so glad to be back on the show, and I hope I am not the first to go!" Ella sang.

"Ugh... Right, you still love to do that I see." Chris said.

"I live for it." Ella said as she clasped her hands together.

"Well lucky for you you're still allowed to do it. Y'see some of the other producers said something about it being "Unfair" to disqualify you for singing." Chris explained. "So you can sing to your hearts content. Just preferably not in front of me."

"Oh hooray!" Ella cheered.

She skipped away from Chris and over to the other competitors where she stood next to Dawn.

"Hello little person, I am Ella." Ella introduced herself. "How do you do?"

"I can sense a lot of positive energy in your aura." Dawn said.

"Oh... Is that a good thing?" Ella asked.

Dawn nodded.

"Okay then." Ella said.


(Confessional: Ella)

"I hope to make many friends this time. Just like I did with Sugar." Ella said. "Dawn already seems very nice. Even if I don't understand what auras are exactly. Oh, and that very muscular woman with the mole seems nice too. I haven't talked to her yet but just judging from appearances I like her."


The thirteenth boat was seen coming towards the island with Sam on it.

"It's failed All-Star and avid gamer... Sam!" Chris announced.

Sam's boat docked on the shore and he got off of it.

"Heh, cool, this is the new place." Sam said as he looked around.

He took out his Game Guy and began to start it up.

"Not so fast Sam." Chris said. "I'm taking that."

Chris grabbed Sam's console out of his hands.

"Hey!" Sam exclaimed. "Not cool man."

"Sorry bro, rules are rules." Chris said. "Just don't go into your weird hallucinating withdrawals thing. Okay?"

"I'll try my best." Sam said as he walked away and stood by Tyler.

"Hey man, what's up?" Tyler asked.

"Well my only form of entertainment was taken away. So there's that." Sam said.

"Man that must suck." Tyler said. "Do you play any sports? That could keep you entertained."

"Uh... Do virtual sports count?" Sam asked.


(Confessional: Sam)

"Y'know it's a little embarrassing to be on an All-Stars season and then get immediately switched over to the losers season." Sam said. "But whatever. I'm not gonna let it bother me that much. I never really cared about winning to begin with. I just wanna have fun... Still wish I had my games."


The next speedboat with Beardo on it was seen heading towards the island.

"And here we have last seasons first boot: Beardo!" Chris introduced. "Hopefully he'll do better this time."

Beardo hopped off his boat.

"Hey, Beardo, try and actually be useful to your team this time and you could actually win the prize this time." Chris advised.

Beardo's eyes lit up and he made the sound of an opening cash register.

"Yeah, that." Chris said. "Good luck."

"Uh... Thanks man." Beardo quietly said.

Beardo walked away from Chris and stood next to Brick.

"Yo. What's up man." Beardo said.

"Waiting for everyone else to arrive, sir." Brick answered.

"Oh... We don't got much in common do we?" Beardo asked.

"I'd have to agree with that." Brick said.


(Confessional: Beardo)

"The reason I didn't do well last time is 'cause I didn't make any friends." Beardo said. "I'm tryin' to work on that this time. I don't think it's doin' so well."


Chris faced the sixteen contestants that were already there.

"Now, these next two contestants are very special." Chris explained. "In fact, they've been ineligible to compete for the past several seasons."

"Why's that?" Rodney asked.

"Remember Ezekiel?" Chris asked.

"Ugh! I hate that little punk." Eva said.

"Didn't he like become a zombie or something?" Katie asked.

"He went a little bit... Feral." Chris answered. "But after All-Stars we were able to capture him and then after some extensive rehabilitating we got him back to normal... Well, normal for Zeke."

"Why is he back?" Noah asked. "If I went through all of that I'd never want to come back."

"Oh trust me, he doesn't want to be here." Chris said. "But his parents were threatening legal action. So we cut a deal. He comes back, their son gets to make new friends, visit new places, and get exercise for free, and this show doesn't get shut down."

"Is this safe?" Tyler asked.

"Meh. Maybe, maybe not. We'll have to see." Chris said. "Anyway, here he comes now."

The camera moved out to the water where Ezekiel was seen sitting in the back of a speedboat.

"Hey, does this thing go any faster, eh?" Ezekiel asked the man driving.

"Be patient. We're almost there." The driver replied.

The boat stopped and Ezekiel cautiously got down from the boat. He took a look around at the new island and the people who were there before him.

"So Zeke, what do you think?" Chris asked.

"I don't wanna be here, eh. I told that guy on the boat but he kept driving." Ezekiel said.

"Well tough luck, you're stuck here for the rest of the season." Chris said. "Unless you get voted out first again."

"I wouldn't mind it, eh." Ezekiel said.

"Just go." Chris said as he shooed Ezekiel away.

Ezekiel nodded and moved over to the other contestants.

"So who's this other special contestant?" Topher asked. "I'm so exited."

"She went from snobby, to freaky, to relatively normal. It's Dakota!" Chris revealed.

"Sweet!" Sam exclaimed.

"Wait, last time I checked she was a giant orange mutant." Brick said. "What happened?"

"She's got a rich family. And recently they sent her to a lab for treatment for a few months." Chris said.

"Oh, that's where she was." Sam said.

"She's your girlfriend. How did you not know that?" Staci asked.

"I dunno. She told me she'd be going away for a few months over the phone and then I didn't really see her since then." Sam explained.

"Well here she is now!" Chris announced as he gestured out to the water.

Dakota was seen sitting in the front of a boat approaching the island. She seemed to have mostly reverted from her mutated her state. The only major difference is her height. Dakota seemed to stand at around six or seven feet tall rather than the height she stood at before her mutation.

"Guess science can't fix everything." Chris remarked from off screen.

Once the boat stopped Dakota got down from it.

"Dakota!" Sam happily exclaimed as he ran over to her.

"Oh my gosh, Sam! It's so good to see you." Dakota said.

Sam pulled Dakota into a hug.

"Okay, break it up." Chris said. "Let's keep it professional."

"Sorry." Sam said as he let go of his girlfriend.

"It's so nice to be back. Now I can get the screen time I was robbed of." Dakota said.

"Y'know Dakota, I was expecting you to be shorter." Sam said.

"Yeah, I wish was the fashionable "Cute" height right now. But at least being like, seven feet tall beats being ten feet tall." Dakota said.

"Dakota, you're the final member of our cast." Chris said. "You and your boyfriend please join the others."

Dakota nodded before walking to the other along with Sam.


(Confessional: Dakota)

"I'm not exactly used to being back here yet." Dakota said. "I haven't had much social interaction since I left the lab. And when I was in there the scientists only talked to me. But I think I can get back on my feet."


"Okay campers, now you're all here." Chris said to the cast. "Before we go on to splitting you up into teams. I have an announcement. For those of you unaware, just like the previous season, there are no cabins."

"Uh... So where do we stay?" Sadie asked.

"We've decided to be somewhat charitable this season." Chris said. "We've set up a modest camp with some tents and a fire pit. Other than that you're on your own."

"Can I go through my luggage first?" Sammy asked. "I want to pick out a shirt that doesn't expose my midriff."

"Sorry Samey, no luck for you. The only supplies you're allowed to keep is whatever you've got on you right now." Chris said.

"Ha! Bet you feel like a real idiot now, Samey." Amy said.

"Shut up." Sammy said. "It was your idea to wear this stupid uniform."

"It's scientifically proven that people think twins in matching outfits are adorable." Amy stated.

"What scientists are you talking about?" Sammy asked.

"Ladies, that's enough." Chris said. "Now, let's split you up into teams. Chef!"

Chef walked over to Chris holding three rolled up mats under his arms. He unrolled each mat and placed it on the ground. The first mat was blue, the second was red, and the final one was yellow.

"Time for the teams. When I call your name please step over to the yellow mat." Chris said. "Okay? Good. Our first team shall have Brick, Tyler, Eva, Dakota, Beardo, and Ella. Get over there."

The six new teammates walked to the yellow rug.

"This is going to be so fun!" Ella chirped.

"I can hardly contain myself." Eva stoically said.

"Aw yeah! My team is awesome!" Tyler exclaimed as he pumped his fists into the air.

"I kinda wish Sam was here. But other than that I'm okay." Dakota said.

"Ma'am, I hope you feel welcome on the team." Brick said.


(Confessional: Beardo)

"My team's all right." Beardo said. "I can't remember anybody's name but they still seem good. That dude in the track suit, the military looking guy, and the big woman with the mole and the unibrow look like they'll be good in challenges. I never watched the show before I came on so I don't know who they are. It was just a way for me to try and meet new people."


(Confessional: Brick)

"With the exception of maybe Eva, my team looks very friendly." Brick said. "I think we'll be able to work together very easily."


(Confessional: Tyler)

"Not sure what to make of the new guys." Tyler said. "Ella seems like she has a few screws loose and I don't even know what to say about Dakota. Eva's always scared me but who knows. She may've changed after being away from the show for such a long time."


(Confessional: Dakota)

"I feel a little out of place." Dakota said. "I guess a lot changes if you've been a mutant for like, a year and a half. But I don't know. The only person on this team I recognize is Brick and we never really talked that much during our first time around."


"Yellow team, from now on you are known as... The Berserk beavers!" Chris announced.

Their team logo of a gold circle with a angry beaver baring its teeth inside of it appeared above their heads.

"So... Like... Is something supposed to happen?" Dakota asked.

"We'll edit your logo in during post." Chris explained.

"That makes sense." Ella said.

"Okay, now for the next team." Chris said. "The next group of people I announce shall step over to the red mat. We clear? Good. Our next team consists of Ezekiel, Rodney, Staci, Amy, B, and Katie!"

"What?!" Katie exclaimed. "Me and Sadie are on different teams!"

"No! My worst nightmare is true!" Sadie cried as she hugged her best friend.

"Chris, can me and Sadie please be on the same team?" Katie asked.

"I caved into your demands before and I won't do it again." Chris stated.

"Just so we're clear, me and Samey are also on opposing teams?" Amy asked.

"Indeed you are." Chris said.

"Okay." Amy said.

Katie suddenly latched on to Amy and pulled her into a tight hug.

"Don't worry! I know your pain!" Katie melodramatically cried.

"Please stop." Amy flatly said.

"Hey red team, move it." Chris said.

The six members of the red team moved over to their mat.

"I wish Sadie was with me..." Katie mourned.

"Oh shut up." Amy said.

Ezekiel looked over at B.

"So what's your name, eh?" Ezekiel asked. "You've been pretty quiet."

B opened his mouth to say something only to be cut off by Staci.

"That's Beverly." Staci said. "But he likes to be called B."

"I dated a girl named Beverly once." Rodney said. "She was pretty... She wore a lot of my makeup..."

"Makeup was invented by my great, great, aunt Muriel." Staci said. "Yah, before her people were ugly all the time. So sad."


(Confessional: Katie)

"I hate being on this team by myself." Katie said. "The only person I know is Ezekiel... And he's super weird! I just want Sadie to be here."


(Confessional: Amy)

"To be honest, I kind of wanted Samey to be on my team." Amy said. "I mean, hello, how is that idiot going to survive without me? She's socially inept, has the IQ of a fence post, and is a total klutz. That loser won't survive a day without me."


(Confessional: Rodney)

"I am a bit upset that Eva isn't on the same team as me." Rodney said. "I guess it was more of a crush than true love. But the worst part is now I have to be on the same team as Amy. And she's my bitter ex girlfriend. I mean, I know she's my ex. Not so sure about the bitter part. But she usually seems mad at something so I'm assuming she's bitter."


(Confessional: Ezekiel)

"I really don't wanna be here right now, eh." Ezekiel said. "I barely remember anything that happened in the past... Year? I can't even remember how I long it's been. I'd rather be at home with my mom and dad, eh."


Chris looked over at the newly formed team.

"Red team, you are from now on known as... The Manic Muskrats!" Chris announced.

The Muskrats' logo of a dark red circle with the outline of a malicious looking muskrat inside it appeared above them.

"What's the difference between a beaver and a muskrat?" Rodney asked.

"We don't have enough time for your questions." Chris said. "We still have one last team."

The host turned to the six people without a team.

"Dawn, Sam, Noah, Topher, Sadie, and Samey. You are our final team." Chris announced. "Please step over to the blue mat."

All the mentioned competitors except for Sadie walked over to the blue mat.

"Uh, Sadie, you're on this team." Sam said.

"I know." Sadie said. "But I don't want to be there if Katie can't be there."

"Well too bad 'cause that's what you've gotta do." Chris said. "Understand."

"No. I refuse to move." Sadie proclaimed.

"Okay. No problem." Chris said before looking of screen. "Chef! Take care of this!"

"You got it boss." Chef said as he walked over to Sadie.

Chef picked up Sadie and placed her down with her new team.

"Thank you Chef." Chris said.

"Anything for you. Mostly 'cause you give me my paychecks." Chef said.

The camera moved over to the new blue team.

"Can somebody please hug me?" Sadie asked. "I need it."

"Eh... I could... But I won't." Noah said.

Dawn approached Sadie and put her arms around her.

"Sadie, I assure you that everything will be okay." Dawn comforted.

"Aw... That's cute." Sam said.

"Okay... I feel better." Sadie said.

"See, stay calm and make sure to breathe." Dawn said.


(Confessional: Noah)

"I don't like this team to be honest." Noah said. "Sadie won't stop crying, Topher and Samey both look like airheads judging from my first impressions, Sam looks lazy, and Dawn is just odd. I'd prefer to be with Eva right now. But I'll just have to make do for now."


(Confessional: Topher)

"As a fan of all things Chris McLean I've seen every season of Total Drama." Topher said. "Right now, my strategy is to be in an alliance with Noah. He's currently the smartest player on the team, barring me of course."


(Confessional: Dawn)

"I feel that a large reason I did badly during my time here previously is because I failed to make any social connections." Dawn said. "But this time, I believe I'll do better. I can sense plenty of good auras on my team."


"Now, blue team. Your official name is... The Deranged Deer!" Chris announced.

Their logo of a light blue circle with a sharp toothed scowling deer appeared above them.

"Awesome name Chris, stellar work." Topher said.

"Shut up." Chris said.

"I also like the name." Dawn said. "Well, minus the "Deranged" part."

"One last thing. The McLean Immunity Idol has returned." Chris said. "You've gotta search all over the island and try to find it. But, if you've got it you can't go home. If you play it when it looks like you'll be voted off we'll just eliminate the person with the next amount of votes."

"Aw yeah. This season's gonna rock." Tyler said.

"All right teams, now that you've been divided up you get a chance to relax." Chris said.

Chef threw a rolled up map at each team.

"Those are maps to your camp sites. You've got an hour to relax and then it's challenge time." Chris explained.

Brick looked at the map and turned to his team.

"Follow me soldiers." Brick said.


(Confessional: Eva)

"The whole thing Chris said about not having cabins was something I wasn't expecting." Eva said. "But I can handle most things. So this shouldn't be too hard."


(Confessional: Staci)

"I am so happy to be here. I never thought I'd ever be able to come back." Staci said. "And thanks to my totally real advanced survivalist skills I'm gonna win this year."


(Confessional: Sam)

"I don't think I've got a good reputation in terms of being useful." Sam said. "I mean, people like me, but I'm not exactly athletic. Well this season I wanna prove them wrong."


Later the Muskrats were seen arriving at their camp by the beach. There was a fire pit with two tents nearby it.

"Ugh, this place is disgusting." Amy commented.

"I've been in tougher situations." Staci proudly said.

"Sure you have." Amy said as she rolled her eyes at her.

"Aw man, I wanted to at least live at a nice place, eh." Ezekiel said.

"I think it'll be fun." Rodney said. "Me and my brothers go camping almost every summer."

"Sadie loved camping..." Katie lamented. "We could've made friendship bracelets together."

B patted Katie on the head to try and comfort her.

"Th-thanks." Katie managed to stammer.


(Confessional: Katie)

"I'm glad B's being empathetic towards me." Katie said. "Staci and Amy only care about themselves and Rodney's just in his own world. Zeke's having just as bad a time as me so he's not much of a help. But I'm glad at least one person likes me."


"So how are we gonna split this up?" Staci asked as she gestured to the tents.

"Three people in each tent makes sense, eh." Ezekiel suggested.

"Girls on one side, guys on the other." Amy said. "Sound good?"

B nodded.

"Yah, good idea." Staci said.

"I don't care." Katie said.


(Confessional: Ezekiel)

"I'm startin' to get worried about our team, eh." Ezekiel said. "We don't have a real leader. That cheerleader seems opinionated which could be good. But she also seems like she does't know what to do. That big quiet guy could be good if he ever talked. Honestly, I don't really care, eh. If we lose I'll probably just ask to be voted off, eh."


Later the guys and girls on the Muskrats had split off as per Ezekiel and Amy's suggestions. Inside the girls tent Katie was curled up on the ground with Staci sitting in front of Amy trying to talk to her.

"And scissors were invented by my great, great, grandmother on my fathers side." Staci explained. "Yah, before her people had to rip paper into shapes for arts and crafts. It was so inconvenient."

"Kill me." Amy quietly muttered.

"What was that?" Staci asked.

"Nothing." Amy quickly said.

"Okay. So anyway, peanut butter was invented by my great, great, great, great, great, uncle Jacob." Staci babbled.

"Wow that sure is..." Amy said before trailing off and abruptly changing subjects. "I'm gonna leave now."

Amy crawled over to where Katie was lying on the ground.

"Hey there. You still crying?" Amy asked.

"Life is so unfair." Katie complained.

"I'm going to tell you what ever I tell my sister when she feels down." Amy said.

"Oh really? What's that?" Katie asked.

"You're a pathetic loser for crying so much. Cut it out. It's not gonna solve your problems so just grow up." Amy told her.

"Okay... Not exactly what I expected..." Katie said.

The scene changed to the guys in their tent. Rodney was crouched down due to his large size while talking to Ezekiel. B was off in a corner reading out of a booklet.

"So... You also grew up on a farm. What's that like?" Ezekiel asked Rodney.

"Well, you'd probably know since you did too." Rodney said.

"Oh... That's true." Ezekiel said.

"So what do you think about the girls here?" Rodney asked.

"Staci's a little weird, eh." Ezekiel said. "I feel a little bad for Katie and Amy's kinda mean."

"Yeah, Amy's my ex girlfriend. It's a little weird to have her on my team." Rodney said.

"Really? She doesn't seem like your type, eh." Ezekiel said.

"That's why we broke up." Rodney said.

"Oh, that makes sense." Ezekiel said.

Ezekiel looked over at B and waved at him. B looked up and waved back.

"Hey, come over here." Ezekiel said.

B nodded and went over to the two other members of his team in he tent.

"So... Why's your name Beverly?" Rodney asked.

B shrugged.

"Did you never ask your parents or something?" Ezekiel asked.

B nodded.


(Confessional: Ezekiel)

"Y'know, the only person I really, really, respect on this team is B." Ezekiel said. "He seems nice and if he talks our team could do all right. That gives me a little hope for me. I'm still not that enthusiastic yet, eh."


Meanwhile, the Beavers had arrived at their camp site over on a different part of the beach. It was identical to the other camp with two tents and a fire pit.

"Aw yeah! We made it!" Tyler cheered.

"Hmm... It's better than I expected." Brick said.

"I've never been camping before." Dakota said. "Will I have to get all dirty?"

"Duh. It's pretty obvious, rich girl." Eva said.

"Uh, I've got a question." Beardo spoke up. "There are six of us and only two tents. How do we do this?"

"Girls in one tent, boys in the other tent. That's kinda like how Chris split it up when I was first here." Eva said.

"Does anybody here know how to start a fire?" Tyler asked.

"I do." Brick said.

"Oh goodie, I was starting to get cold." Ella said.


(Confessional: Ella)

"I am so excited to be here." Ella said. "Everyone on my team is so nice. People always tell me I think very optimistically. Frankly, I don't see any reason to not be optimistic."


The scene had changed to later where the Beavers had a small fire going in their fire pit. The six team members gathered around the fire.

"This is such a lovely fire! It will keep us warm as long as we require!" Ella sang.

"Hey, is there a chance of anything catching on fire?" Dakota asked.

"Nope, it's very safe." Brick reassured.

"Oh, good." Dakota said.

"I can just tell that all of us are going to get along just fine." Ella said. "Especially with you in charge, Eva. You're so strong looking."

Ella put her hand on Eva's shoulder.

"What are you doing?" Eva asked.

"Being friendly." Ella said.

"I agree with Ella." Beardo softly said.

"What was that?" Tyler asked.

"I said, I agree with her." Beardo repeated. "I think we've got a lot of friendly people on our teams."

"Well that's nice and-" Eva began before realizing Ella's hand was still on her shoulder. "Ella, what the hell are you doing."

"Sorry, I got distracted." Ella said as she moved her hand.

"I like you guys." Dakota remarked.


(Confessional: Dakota)

"I feel like I can make friends on this team." Dakota said. "So far the only people I like are Tyler and Brick. Beardo and Ella are weird and Eva's a little mean. But it seems like things will get better. I still need to get used to being human. This island is the first place I've been to since the lab."


"Does anyone have any food?" Dakota asked.

"I had some pretzels in my pocket but I think I ate them on the way over here." Tyler said.

"Uh, when I was here Chris said we had to provide for ourselves." Beardo said. "'Course, I got kicked off first so I never did any of that."

"Well I did." Ella said. "It was lots of fun."

"Does that mean you know what kind of food is safe to eat?" Brick asked.

"Sort of." Ella said. "I learned from re-watching the season when it was over that you should't eat any apples here."

"Why's that?" Tyler asked.

"They're all poisonous." Ella stated.

The other competitors exchanged confused glances.

"Uh... I think it's just one type of apple." Beardo corrected.

"Close enough." Ella said.

The scene changed to later with the Deer arriving at their camp at the beach with a fire pit and two tents.

"Wow, I love how out in the open this place is." Dawn said. "It's so nice."

"I hope there aren't any bugs out here." Sam said.

"I quite like bugs." Dawn said.

"Well, not everyone grew up in a hippie trailer park." Noah said.

"Actually, my family moved out of the trailer park when I was nine." Dawn said.


(Confessional: Noah)

"I don't like Dawn." Noah said. "I've never really been a fan of those weird new age types. One of my closest friends, Izzy, is borderline insane but you build a tolerance for that. But Dawn... Let's just say she'll take a while to get used to."


"I've got to give props to Chris. This place isn't that bad." Topher said.

"Didn't he humiliate you on international TV?" Sammy pointed out.

"You see Samey, that's what makes Chris so great." Topher tried to explain.

"Okay, how does a super fan like you not know how to pronounce my name?" Sammy asked.

"Oh, I know. I just don't care." Topher said. "It's also easier to remember."

"How?" Sammy asked. "I have literally never met anyone named Samey. How is that easier to remember?"

"I don't have to tell you." Topher said.

"Wait, your name's not Samey?" Sam asked.

"It's Sammy. Short for Samantha." Sammy explained.

"What a pretty name." Dawn said.

Sam looked over and saw Sadie standing over by one tent.

"Hey! Sadie! You okay!" Sam called over to her. "You're pretty quiet."

"Hmm... I guess I'm okay." Sadie said. "I just wish Katie was at this camp."

"Well she's not. So suck it up." Noah said.

"I'll try to." Sadie said.

"You can go lie down in the tent if you want to." Sammy suggested.

"I think I'll do that." Sadie said.

Sadie went inside one of the tents.


(Confessional: Sadie)

"I am under a lot of emotional stress." Sadie said. "Katie's like the sister I never had and being away from her is so crazy. I thought I handled it okay last time... But I haven't been here in ages! I just want to be at home with her."


(Confessional: Topher)

"Sadie will not stop crying." Topher said. "If we lose a challenge I swear, she's the first to go. I mean, she probably wouldn't even mind being kicked off anyway."


(Confessional: Sammy)

"It sucks that Sadie and her friend are separated." Sammy said. "But on the other hand, I don't have to put up with Amy. You have no idea how great this is for me. She has tormented me every day of my life since we were both like, eight. I mean, on one hand I guess it makes me feel kinda lonely. But then I realized, It's Amy, I'm not missing out on much."


Later, the Deer were just seen aimlessly sitting around camp. Sam stood and looked at a squirrel up in a tree, Sammy sat near down against a tent and poked at the ground with a stick, Noah read as he leaned on a nearby tree, Dawn sat in a meditative position near the unlit fire pit, and Topher was sitting next to Noah. Sadie was nowhere to be seen but her crying could be heard from inside the tent.

"So Noah, what are you reading about?" Topher asked.

"Why do you want to know?" Noah asked.

"Just curious." Topher said. "You know, you and I have a lot in common."

"That's a lie and you know it." Noah said.

"True. Very true." Topher said.

"Can you go away?" Noah asked. "Like... Now."

"Nah. I like the shade." Topher said.


(Confessional: Noah)

"I know Topher's type." Noah said. "Young, power hungry, and smarter than they look. I definitely don't want that type of guy to hang around for too long."


"Everything's so unfair!" Sadie cried from inside the tent.

"Should we do something about that?" Sammy asked.

"Her aura tells me that she needs some time to herself." Dawn said.

"Uh, yeah, what she said." Sam said. "It's probably better that we don't get involved anyway."

"Oh... Okay. If you say so." Sammy said.


(Confessional: Sammy)

"Okay, now I feel really bad about her." Sammy said. "I'd hate to be separated from someone that close to me. But, I'm sure she will get over it soon. Right?"

After a brief pause Sammy frowned.

"She's not gonna get over it." Sammy said.


The camera cut to a close up of the islands loud speakers.

"Attention campers!" Chris announced through the speakers. "Meet me and Chef out in the clearing! Your first challenge will be starting very soon."

The scene changed to the Beavers still sitting around the fire at their camp.

"Ooh! What do you think the first challenge will be?" Ella asked.

"It's probably gonna be hard." Eva said. "As in, not fun for you."

"I have fun with everything." Ella said.

"We could tell." Brick said.

The camera cut to the three teams entering a clearing where Chris and Chef already stood. Behind the host and his assistant were three tables.

"Ah, glad you could make it." Chris said. "Tell me, how's your experience so far?"

"Awful..." Katie said.

"I'm having a good time sir." Brick said. "Thank you for asking."

"Still a little miffed about the whole no cabins thing." Noah said.

"Good glad to see you're all enjoying yourselves." Chris said, ignoring the complaints.

"So what's this first challenge going to be about?" Sammy asked.

"Yeah, I was wondering that too, eh." Ezekiel said.

"And what's with the tables?" Beardo asked.

"Ooh, I bet it's gonna be something good." Topher eagerly said.

"You have strange reactions to things." Chris said. "Anyway, I'll show you what were' doing.

Chris looked over at Chef.

"You know what to do." Chris said

"You got it boss." Chef said.

Chef walked off screen.

"Where's he going?" Rodney asked.

"You'll see." Chris said. "Just be patient."

Chef walked back as he held a heavy looking iron orb that was just a little bigger than a Bocce Ball.

"In this first challenge you will be using many metal balls just like the one Chef currently has." Chris explained.

"Psht, doesn't look that heavy." Tyler said.

"Oh really..." Chef said. "How 'bout now!"

Chef tossed the ball at Tyler. He was able to catch it but was weighed down to the ground immediately.

"I take it back..." Tyler said.

"Oh dear god I am not prepared for this..." Sam said.

Sammy nodded.

"Ha, I know, right?" Chris said with a sinister grin on his face.

Chris turned to the camera and smiled.

"Other than these heavy balls what else is in store for this next challenge?" Chris asked the camera. "Which of our teams will fare the best and which one will be unfortunate enough to send one of their own members home? Stay tuned to find out very soon, on Total. Drama. Losers!"


And that was the first chapter. I hope you enjoyed it. On the off chance you were confused, this story is not connected to the rewrites and takes place on the canon timeline. I will be continuing this when my rewrite series' start up again. I had a lot of fun coming up with the cast for this. I wanted to make sure each character was definitely an underdog and not someone who did well in one season but poorly in a later one (Like Trent or Jo for example). With the main exception being Noah who got his own story arc in the Ridonculous Race. However, I selected him going by his performance in the main series. Also, I couldn't think of a TDI character that could be considered a loser to replace him.

I know that these "Underdogs" types of fanfics are a bit overdone within the Total Drama fandom. However, I want to try and keep mine unique. I'll try and update this soon since this is a two parter and I don't wanna leave you hanging. Anyway, please try and leave a review. I would really appreciate it if you told me what you liked and didn't like about this chapter. It's pretty much the best way for me to improve my writing. Thanks for reading.
