Hey, Campers! Welcome to the first chapter of Total Drama Accel! Before we begin, let's go over a few things, shall we?
1. There are ten pairings. Eight of them are on the same team (Four Screaming Gophers pairings and four Killer Bass pairings) while two pairings are Gopher + Bass like Tyler/Lindsay and Harold/LeShawna. For the people who didn't choose who they wanted to be paired with, I asked for help from my personal friend and matchmaker: Savannah! The following are the pairings.
Jun and Steve (Not picked by Savannah)
Luna and William (Not picked by Savannah)
Krystal and Long (Not picked by Savannah)
Chelsea and Oliver (Picked by Savannah)
Amy and Seth D (Picked by Savannah)
Jenny and Andy (Picked by Savannah)
Riley and Eric (Picked by Savannah)
Leilani and Matt (Picked by Savannah)
Diane and Ryan (Picked by Savannah)
Demi and Seth F (Picked by Savannah)
Gabe is not paired
Bella is not paired
2. All eliminations are randomized so everyone has a good chance at winning.
3. Even if your character is eliminated, please continue reading. Because, there are special things that involve the eliminated contestants. For example, the chapter Back in Black, two of the eliminated contestants will be randomly selected to return to the competition. Also, in the chapters After the Dock of Shame and Fool Me Once Shame on Me, all eliminated contestants will return to eliminate of the final five, much like Haut Campture in Total Drama Island. And if this story goes well, there will be a sequel where sixteen of the twenty-two will be randomly selected to return. The six contestants who are not randomly selected will be interns for Chris.
4. Do not hesitate to give me suggestions on scenes and scenarios for your character (and interractions with other characters). That is greatly appreciated. If you have any ideas for scenes in the story, please let me know.
5. There will be around sixty chapters in this story, just to let you know.
6. Seth Fujimoto will be known as Seth F. throughout the story. While the other Seth will be known as Seth D.
7. Any questions? Just ask 'em and I'll answer them in the next chapter!
Speaking of questions, here's our first question for the Q&A session!
Jynxite asked, "From the opening, I'm guessing that Gabe and Luna are going to become friends?"
Answer: Yes, Gabe and Luna will become friends sometime in the story.
Now, with no further adieu, here is chapter one of Total Drama Accel!
Day 1, part 1: Just the Twenty-two of Us
The island holding Camp Wawanakwa came into view, showing the sadistic host of Total Drama Island: Chris McLean! The host grinned and began his beginning of the season monologue.
"Hey there, viewers!" Chris flashed a smile at the camera and winked. "Welcome to Total Drama Accel! On this show, we will be pitting twenty-two brand new teenagers in challenges from the first two seasons of the Total Drama Series: Total Drama Island and Total Drama Action!
"As you see, they will be competing back where it all began: Camp Wawanakwa in sunny Muskoka, Ontario!"
The host walked up the dock of shame, the grin not leaving his face. "The twenty-two teams will be split into two teams of eleven, where they will eat food prepared by Chef Hatchet, compete in challenges, and have elimination bonfires every night for twenty-three days! In the end, only one person can win, and bring home a great check of one million dollars!"
The camera zoomed in a little closer to Chris for dramatic effect. "Which camper will reign victorious? Which campers will fail terribly? Will romances blossom? Will friendships be forged? Will enemies be made? What about those dramatic alliances? Find out right here! On Total Drama Accel!"
~Cue theme song~
Chris smirked as he watched the first boat drop of the first contestant for Total Drama Accel. The guy was about five foot, eleven inches, and his skin was fairly tanned, but still could be considered as white. He had brown eyes, dark brown hair, and an average build. He was wearing glasses, an unzipped black long-sleeved jacket, a red t-shirt underneath, blue jeans and white sneakers.
"Steve, welcome to Total Drama Accel, bro!" Chris greeted the first contestant.
"Hey, Chris," Steve replied in a laid-back tone. "What? You couldn't even fix up the place since season one?"
"Nah," Chris shrugged it off and grinned. "We're on a budget here, bro. I'm not gonna pay money for luxury! Except for me and Chef's trailers, of course."
Steve just rolled his eyes and rolled his suitcase over to the far end of the dock of shame as the next boat came to drop off it's contestant. It was another guy, reaching at five foot, nine inches, with tan skin, brown eyes and a brown mullet. He looked quite muscular, which reminded Chris that he was a karate kid. He was wearing a red t-shirt, blue jeans and white sneakers. As the Japanese-Canadian walked off the boat, his eyes was glued on the newest volume of the Bleach manga.
Chris grinned at the next guy. "Welcome aboard, Seth!"
"Hey, Chris," Seth looked up from his manga and grinned back. "'Sup man?"
"Getting ready for the best season yet, of course!" Chris replied, obviously bragging about this season.
Steve raised an eyebrow at the host and chuckled. "You're taking challenges from the last two seasons. Is it really that different?"
"Eh," Chris shrugged at the teenager. "with brand new contestants comes brand new excitement! The ratings will sky-rocket with this brand new cast of teens!"
"I can't wait to meet everyone!" Seth grinned, putting his manga away for now.
The next person to arrive was a slightly tan colored girl that was about five foot, seven inches. Her hair had bangs and the hair itself was tied in pigtails and fell down around her shoulders. She also had orbs of a nice shade of brown for her eyes. When she stepped off the boat, she began running to meet Chris and the two other boys, but tripped about half-way there.
"Ooh, you alright, Diane?" Chris winced at the sight of the spill.
Diane hoisted herself back up, dusted herself off and smiled. "I'm fine, Chris! But thanks, anyway!"
"Nice to meet you, Diane." Chris smirked, shaking the girl's hand.
"Nice to meet you too!" Diane smiled back, shaking the host's hand.
Diane walked over to join her new rivals, as Seth was already trying to befriend her and Steve. Steve reluctantly shook his hand and Diane smiled sweetly as she shook the karate kid's hand. Meanwhile, the next contestant got off of her boat. The girl was Hawaiian with long dark brown hair, big chocolate brown eyes and light brown colored skin. She stood at five foot, two inches with an hourglass body frame and a little muscle. She was wearing a tight-fitting blue spaghetti strap tank top that revealed her midriff, a red and white flowered sarong tied around her waist with black shorts underneath and a pair of blue flip flops.
"Lei, welcome to TDA!" Chris grinned at the Hawaiian girl.
"Thanks, Chris!" she gave a grin to the host. "I'm so happy to be here!"
"I see," Chris chuckled and gave a sly look. "Did any guys 'get lei'd' on the way down here?"
Lei looked embarrassed and gave an annoyed sigh at the host. "No, Chris. Do you have to bring that up? That is not what I'm all about."
Steve, Seth and Diane exchanged confused glances as Lei joined them, pulling her suitcase behind her. Seth was the first person to speak up.
"What's this lei'd thing about?" Diane asked, cocking her head to one side.
Lei shook her head and smiled. "Just forget about it, um…"
"Diane." the girl extended her hand and Lei quickly grinned and shook it.
The next person to arrive was a girl with light tanned skin and dark brown eyes. She was around five foot, six inches and had waist-length light brown hair with a blue streak running through it and her body figure was hourglass shaped. She was wearing a sky blue shirt with the word "HOLA" on the front in midnight blue letters, black khaki shorts and white sandals.
"Hey there, Krystal!" Chris greeted, grinning his trademark grin.
"Hi, Chris!" the girl walked over and shook his hand. "I'm so glad to be here!"
She quickly went over to join the others, and quickly began a conversation with Lei. She also spoke some to Seth, Steven and Diane, quickly giving off a friendly persona to the four other contestants.
"She sure is nice." Seth grinned, nodding.
Steve nodded and smirked. "Agreed. Very friendly."
As if a thunderstorm had come up, a loud rumble exploded into the air. The six people on the dock watched as a motorcycle went flying off of one of the boats and was going right towards them! The six scrambled to get out of the way, but the motorcycle flew over them and landed in a patch of grass. The rider lifted his helmet, revealing bright blue hair and bright blue eyes. The motorcyclist was wearing a black leather jacket with a black sleeveless tee underneath and black jeans.
"Nice moves, Oliver!" Chris chuckled and complimented the rebel.
"Heh, thanks man." Oliver walked over to the others, smirking. "I thought it would be better not to run over you guys. Guess I chose the right thing, huh?"
Krystal raised an eyebrow at the new guy. "You were actually thinking about running us over?"
Oliver gave out a small chuckle and shook his head. "Just some humor, babe. Don't mind it, 'kay?"
"Okay?" Krystal smiled, but really didn't get his little "joke".
Before anything else was to be said, the next contestant did a flip off the boat and performed a few somersaults before landing on the dock, on his stomach. The dude moaned as he stood up and shook his head. The guy was around five foot, eight inches tall, with slightly tanned skin, brown eyes and spiky brown hair. He was wearing a red button-up shirt, blue jeans, red boots and red gloves with a sapphire gemstone embedded into the right glove.
"You alright, Matt?" Chris chuckled sadistically at the jock.
"I'm alright," Matt held onto his head. "I kind of missed where I was going to land."
"Good, because between you and Diane, I don't want to do too much first aid." Chris chuckled as Matt walked over to the others.
"Oh yeah, that makes us feel optimistic." Steve widened his eyes at Chris.
"Don't worry, I have a first aid kit in my luggage," Krystal reassured with a nod. "If anyone gets really hurt, I'll take care of them!"
Matt's luggage was tossed onto the dock and the jock walked over, picked them up, and stood between Steve and Lei. He gave a grin to the two and nodded.
"Sup, dude and dudette?" he asked with a strangely happy tone.
"Nothing much, 'dude'." Lei returned the smile at the jock, while Steve just waved, smirking.
The eighth contestant walked onto the dock, luggage in hand, and stood in front of Chris, smirking. He was pretty skinny with blue-gray eyes and a red mustache and beard. He was wearing a white t-shirt under a black button-down shirt, black jeans and black shoes.
"Welcome aboard, Ha-- Gabe!" Chris grinned at the nerd as he sat his luggage down. "I read your application. We'll keep an eye out for an asthma attack."
"Thanks, Chris." Gabe grinned at the host and joined the others. "But, I'm still going to rule this competition!"
"Wait, Chris being nice?" Seth asked, chuckling. "Well, we're all doomed. It's the end of the world."
Chris rolled his eyes. "I can be nice… sometimes! When I feel like it! Oh, whatever."
Several giggles and chuckles came out of the contestant's mouths at Seth's remark, which irked Chris quite badly.
Gabe shrugged and grinned. "Maybe it's a once a year type thing."
Giggles and chuckles turned into straight out laughter, thanks to Gabe's follow-up remark. Meanwhile, the next contestant literally hopped off of her boat and smirked at her rivals for the next three weeks. She was just below average height, with lightly tanned skin, dark brown eyes and bleached blonde hair in a messy pixie-cut. She had two piercing on each ear and wore a slightly long black t-shirt with a white skull and crossbones on it, jean shorts, silver sneakers and a white fedora on her head.
"Hey there, Jenny!" Chris smirked, as he high-fived the bad girl.
Jenny rolled her eyes at the sadistic host and smirked. "Hey there Chris McSadist."
"Ouch, harsh!" Chris feigned hurt before grinning once again. "But I'm over it!"
Jenny just scoffed, shrugged and walked over to the rest of the contestants. "Whatever."
"Hi, Jenny, I'm Diane!" Diane extended her hand to the new girl.
"Yeah, hi." Jenny rose an eyebrow before shaking the sweet girl's hand.
The next person to arrive was a guy about five feet, seven inches with his skin the color of a farmer's tan. He had light blue eyes and unkempt light brown hair. He was wearing a green Ireland soccer t-shirt, blue jeans and black tennis shoes. He was reading the book Dune as he stepped off of the boat.
"Hey there, William!" Chris greeted the new guy.
"…Hi, Chris." William shyly looked up from his book and smiled slightly.
"Oh come on, we won't bite much!" Chris chuckled as he grinned at the shy bookworm.
"…Right." William nodded and trudged over to the rest of the contestants.
Seth grinned and put a hand on the bookworm's shoulder. "Sup, buddy?"
"…Nothing much." William looked up from the book at the karate kid.
"Chillax, dude." Matt grinned at the bookworm. "Don't be so shy, bro. You're in it to win it, right?"
William was silent for a second before a determined look appeared on his face. "Definitely."
The next guy to show up was pretty much the tallest guy on the island, maybe even a little taller than Chef Hatcher! Reaching up to six foot, six inches, the guy really looked like a brick wall. His skin was pale, he had dark green eyes and black hair that was somewhat in his face. He was wearing a green t-shirt, blue jeans, red tennis shoes and goggles, for now resting on top of his head.
"Sup?" The guy got off of his boat, luggage in hand, grinning.
Chris smirked at the giant. "Welcome aboard, Seth!"
Seth stood there for a good five seconds like he was staring into space before he finally answered. "Thanks man!" This received a few blank stares from his fellow contestants and he made his way over to the others.
"Since we have two guys by the name of Seth, the first Seth will be called Seth F.," Chris began, chuckling slightly. "While big guy here will be known as Seth D."
"Sure." Seth F shrugged as Seth D nodded in agreement.
Before anything else was said, the next boat dropped off the next contestant. The guy seemed to be a mix of African-American and Asian. He was five foot, seven inches and looked pretty muscular, to be honest. He had lonely dark eyes, black hair tied in a pony-tail that was covered by a blue do-rag, some peach fuzz on his chin, a purple dragon tattoo on his upper right arm and an orange fox wrapped around his neck. He was wearing a large black pullover hoodie with the words "Nothing is Normal" written on the front in large white letters with a yin/yang symbol on the back, faded denim blue jeans and a pair of white and black Nikes. He pulled out a white baseball cap and plopped it over his do-rag and rolled his eyes at his competition.
"Hey, Long!" Chris tried to greet the new guy, but Long just walked past the sadistic host and stood by the rest of his competitors. As he stood by Krystal, she watched the fox around his neck move slightly.
"What a cute fox!" Krystal gushed over the creature. "That is so cute! What's his name?"
Long raised an eyebrow as if he didn't expect anyone to speak to him. "Kitsune."
"Aw, such a cutie!" Krystal reached over and scratched behind the fox's ears, the orange creature enjoying this greatly. "I love animals!"
Long shrugged. He didn't mind her petting Kitsune, as he actually enjoyed people who cared for animals. A scowl spread across the lone wolf's face as the next person stepped onto the docks.
She was the stereotypical queen bee, the group could tell that by the way she walked. She was a Brazilian girl with dark tan skin, brown eyes and long black hair going down her back. She was around five foot, six inches in height and was pretty skinny, part-way leaning on an hourglass figure. She was wearing a white t-shirt which she tied a knot in the back to show her midriff, acid wash black jeans that revealed her knees, black flip flops and a red hair band.
"Welcome aboard, Hea-- I mean, Bella!" Chris let out a snicker at his mistake.
Bella rolled her eyes and walked over to her competition. "Whatever, Chris. You just watch. I'm going to do a lot better than that Heather bitch."
William looked up from his book, a little concerned. "Wow, that was foul."
"Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?" Matt added, crossing his arms.
"Like it matters." the queen bee rolled her eyes once again. "It's a reality show! There's sure to be a lot of foul language before this is over. So, move over, bookworm! You too, jocky-boy."
Matt was about to say something else until Lei and William shook their heads at him, trying to keep a fight from breaking out. Meanwhile, the next contestant walked onto the island. She was about five foot, five inches with a body type that wavered from hourglass to athletic. Her hair was silvery shiny and in a braid, her skin was smooth and peach colored and her eyes were almond shaped and a silvery-grey color with a few specks of sky blue in them. She was wearing a black, armored, ninja-like top with short sleeves that revealed her midriff slightly, black armored ninja like shorts with a sheaf in them and black ballet flats.
"Hey there, Luna!" Chris greeted the strangely dressed girl.
Luna was quiet for a second before speaking to the host in a foreign accent. "Hey, Chris."
"I like your…outfit." Chris pondered on just what exactly the girl was wearing.
Luna smirked for a second and nodded. "I put a lot of thought into it. They're my favorite clothes."
"…Okay." Chris nodded, still not knowing what to think about the girl.
Luna made her way to stand with the rest of the group and stood on the other side of William. The bookworm looked up from his book at her again, and saw a slight smile on her face, making him smile back at the girl.
A loud yee-haw resounded in the air, leading everyone's eyes to the newest guy to step onto the docks. The guy was around five foot, eleven inches with a farmer's tan and brown eyes. He had messy red hair covered by what seemed to be the stereotypical cowboy hat. He was wearing a brown shirt with a black cowboy vest over it and black jeans.
"Howdy, Eric!" Chris greeted the cowboy as he strutted over to the others.
"Howdy, partner!" Eric replied, grinning. "I'm honored to be here, Chris!"
"That's great, dude!" Chris smirked as the cowboy took his belongings and walked over to where the rest of the contestants were.
"I'm honored to be competing with you guys and gals!" Eric exclaimed as he joined the rest of the crew.
"You sure do speak funny, dude." Seth D blinked a few times at the cowboy. "Are you from another country or something?"
"Nah, partner, just from good ole Texas!" Eric grinned and looked up at the taller guy.
Seth D looked at him for a second before digging around in his luggage. He pulled out some weird looking machine and started scanning Eric like he was some other kind of life form. Meanwhile, the newest girl stepped onto the dock, smirking. The girl's had pale skin, green eyes, black hair down to her waist and reached to five foot, six inches. She was wearing a black t-shirt that said "I Love Vampires" under a black jacket, black jeans and black sneakers.
"Sup, Demi?" Chris greeted the goth girl as she joined the others.
"Nothing much, except for having to stay here and get tortured for three weeks." Demi rolled her eyes and walked over to the other group. She stood over by Seth F, who grinned at her, but she rolled her eyes in return. When he looked away, she smiled slightly at the karate kid.
The next person startled Chris, as he disappeared from one end of the dock and appeared right behind Chris like he had transported or something. Like Demi, Ryan had pale white skin, bright green eyes and was around five foot, six inches. His hair was blonde and fashioned in a bowl shape around his head, some of the hair covering his green eyes. He was wearing a black sleeveless shirt, blue jeans, a purple scarf and brown sandals.
"Jeez," Chris jumped, startled. "Don't do that, Ryan!"
"I-I'm sorry." Ryan looked down at his feet, shyly.
Chris rose a brow at the shy guy. "Why are you sorry?"
Ryan said nothing more, picked up his suitcase, and made his way over to the contestants. He took a spot next to Diane who gave him a cheery smile, but he responded by looking down at the dock below once again.
The next person to arrive on the docks was the delinquent of the group, even more so than Oliver. She had dark brown layered hair to the middle of her back with bangs hanging on the left side of her face dyed red with the tips yellow. Her eyes were a shade of dark brown that could have been mistaken as coal black. She was tan skinned, was around five foot, nine inches in height and was quite athletic. The girl had tattoos and piercing several places on her body. Her wrists had tattoos and for piercing, she had a spiderbite piercing, a belly button piercing, and an eyebrow piercing; the belly button piercing and eyebrow piercing with a flame design. She was wearing a tight black unzipped hoodie with the words "Plays with Fire" on the back, a tank top with a strange design on it, DC's with drawings all over it and fingerless gloves.
"Chelsea!" Chris greeted the pyromaniac delinquent. "You talked to Duncan lately?"
"Yep, and he told me to do this." Chelsea smirked, lit a match and before long, the shirt Chris was wearing was on fire!
Chris yelped, took off the blue shirt and tossed it into Lake Wawanakwa. "Not cool, dudette!"
"Very cool." Oliver nodded, smirking.
Most of the contestants cheered at the delinquent, minus Bella who seemed to always have an attitude. The pyromaniac walked over to the others and began playing with a Zippo lighter.
Before long, music filled the air of the island. The music was the song Circus by Brittney Spears and was being blasted by the next contestant, who was still on her boat. This girl was five foot, seven inches with an athletic body that had curves in just the right places. She had shoulder length black hair, golden eyes and ivory skin. She was wearing a black t-shirt with a white kitten on the front, black skinny jeans and black converses. Chris walked over to help the girl down, and by that time the song had ended and she flashed a smile to the rest of the contestants.
The guys smirked at the eye candy, especially Steve, while most of the girls rolled their eyes at the new girl.
"Campers, this is Jun." Chris introduced the newest contestant with a grin.
"Hey there, guys!" Jun smiled and walked over to the rest of the contestants. As she stood by Steve, the lazy guy actually gave time to talk to her and introduce himself.
The next person to arrive was a short girl that was around four foot, eleven inches tall. Her skin was light colored, her eyes was a mix of light blue and grey, and she had blonde hair that resembled Bridgette's from the first season only with curls. She was wearing a light blue short-sleeved shirt, khakis with lots of pockets, red flip flops and a necklace with the Chinese character for horse.
"Sup, Amy?" Chris greeted the shorter girl.
"Hey, Chris!" Amy spoke in a German accent. "How are you?"
"Quite good, my friend." Chris nodded, as the girl walked over to join the rest of the contestants.
Amy stood beside Gabe, and quietly watched the rest of her competition, seeing just exactly whom she would be teamed up with and, later, fight against.
The next guy to show another tall guy, not as tall as Seth D, but tall nevertheless. He had white skin, hazel eyes and spiky black hair. He was wearing a cerulean t-shirt with white long sleeves attached to it and brown khaki shorts.
"Andy, my man!" Chris high-fived the strategist as he walked towards the host.
"Hey, Chris!" Andy grinned as he returned the high-five. "This is going to be awesome!"
Chris nodded and chuckled almost sinisterly. "Sure is, bro!"
Andy nodded and made his way to the rest of the campers, deciding to stand by Amy for now. The strategist did a quick head count of who all was here, seeing that only one person was left to arrive.
The last girl gave out a laid-back smile as she stepped onto the dock. Her skin was pale and her eyes were bright and blue. She was around five foot, ten inches and had black hair with a lone silver streak in it that reached her mid-back. She was pretty thin, but she had a few muscles, regardless. She was wearing a black t-shirt with random artistic designs on it, baggy blue jeans, and a pair of black, silver and green Nikes.
"And last but not least, Riley!" Chris grinned as the last contestant walked down the dock.
"Where'd you lose your shirt, Chris?" Riley replied and snickered as she stood in the last spot on the dock by Eric.
Almost everyone chuckled at this, except for Bella who was still acting stuck-up and Seth D who was still "scanning" Eric. Chris rolled his eyes before smirking at the twenty-two.
"So, everyone's here, eh?" he addressed all of the contestants with an almost irritated tone. "I guess it's time to unveil a Total Drama favorite… the confessional cam! Use the confessional outhouse at any time to vent any time in the game!"
*Confessional*
Seth D- *grins at the camera for a few silent seconds* I am so in it to win it! No one knows it yet, but I'm a building genius! There's no way I can lose!
Long- *petting Kitsune* …This will be interesting.
Gabe- I think I'm gonna do well. As long as my asthma doesn't act up.
Krystal- Long's pet fox was so cute! *sighs* And he wasn't bad looking either.
Bella- Just you wait, viewers of Total Drama Accel! I am going to win this thing! Even if I have to cheat, beg, borrow or steal.
Diane- *opening the door to the confessional, accidentally stumbles for a second* Hehe, I'm fine! This is gonna be so fun!
"Now," Chris began, smirking. "It's time to split you guys into your two teams. Let's head for the campfire pit, shall we?"
The twenty-two did as they were told, talking amongst each other. Some of the more impatient and rebellious people led the way such as Oliver and Chelsea, while people such as Steve and Jun were in the back carrying on a conversation. Chris watched as the twenty-two moved for the campfire and smirked at the camera.
"How will our campers fare?" he asked. "Find out after this commercial break on Total Drama Accel!"
What did you think? I hope I did well with the introductions. Give me suggestions for scenes in upcoming chapters and tell me what you thought in a review! The next chapter will be up either tomorrow, Tuesday or Wednesday.
Signed,
Hour of the Raven
