A few shots panned around the now rebuilt Pakhitew Island. Despite it's mechanical und3erbelly, natural wildlife was frolicking across the screen. Rabbits, deer and even a bear. Fang poked his head out of the water for a few moments, but only smirked and dropped back in.

The shot moved around to the two cabins, now synonymous with the Total Drama name. Ina blinding flash, a pile of white coulds covered the area, before clearing to reveal one Chris Mclean with a jet pack.

"Welcome back Drama fans, to another season of Total Drama! It's been a while, but we had to take some time to rebuild Pakhitew island, after SOMEONE messed it up."

He eyed some interns off screen. It wasn't their fault, but he blames them for everything.

"Anyway," Chris continued, as he walked to the dock, "We thought that in order to bring the show back, we would bring 24 fan favourite contestants from across the seasons to play again for a prize pool of 1 million dollars!"

"So, lets give up for a BETTER anothology season! Get ready for Total!

Drama!

ReDux!"


The opening ran across the screen, before fading back into Chris on the dock. "Welcome back to Total Drama Redux. When we left off we anounced that 24 contestants from previous seasons would be coming back. So lets introduce them! From Revenge of the Island!"

A ferry parked on the dock and let off 5 contestants, "Zoey, the Indie Chick!"

Zoey came off, smiling wide as always, with her bright red hair tied into two short pigtails. "Good to be back, I guess." She smiled through the uncertainty of her choice.

"Farmer Boy, Scott!"

Scott came off in his trademark vest and jeans, scowling at everything. "Hey, Mclean, did you get rid of the, toxic waste stuff?"

"Why yes, but I cannot guarantee your safety from sharks." Chris leaned in and emphasised that last word. Scott Shivered.

"The hippie freakshow, Dawn!"

Dawn didn't walk off the boat. Everyone was confused until the blond clad in green appeared behind Chris and said "Hello Mclean."

"Aaaagh...! Oh Dawn, welcome back."

"Pleasure as always." And with that, she stood next to her competitors

"The Schizo Man, Mike!"

Mike was walking down the ramp waving at his friends and Chris, "Good to be ba- WOAH!"

Much to the dismay of the girls and the hilarity of the males, Mike fell down and rolled the rest of the way down the ramp. Upon hitting the floor, he shot with a gasp and yell, "Damn boats these days! Making my back ache!"

Chris was visibly confused. "Wait, I thought he'd snapped out of the D.I.D. stuff?"

Zoey giggled nervously, "He had, but only for a few weeks, hehe..."

Mike gasped and snapped back to himself, "Sorry 'bout that guys." He rubbed the back of his neck nervously and joined the group.

"The Independent Jock, Lightning!"

Lightning didn't come down the ramp, but instead jump straight of the boat and landed on his feet. "Sha-lightning is back baby!"

Everyone face palmed as he came over.

"That does it for revenge of the Island contestants," Chris monologued to the camera as the the first ferry drove off, "Now for returning contestants from the first season! Starting us off, The Guitar Playboy, Trent!"

A second ferry rode in and dropped its ramp, letting Trent walk down with his guitar case strapped to his back with an ever present smile on his face. "Heeey, Chris. Good to be back man."

"Good to have you!" Chris just smiled at Trent as he walked over to the others, "Hehehe, good indeed... Up next" Teh Loud C.I.T. Courtney!"

Scott visibly paled as Courtney came over the ramp, somehow smiling despite what happened the last time she was competitng. "Whats got you so happy?"

"I'm just glad I got another chance you know? To win I mean."

"Fair enough."

Courtney joined the group, but as far away from Scott as possible. He audibly sighed at this.

"The hardened Criminal, Duncan!"

Duncan came off the boat, now with an additional bracer around his neck. " I still don't see the point of the necklace Mclean."

"Oh, well remember my cottage?" Duncan laughed whilst Chris stared on unamused, "Well, if you do anything that I deem bad enough for your parole officer to be involved again, that bracer will send a signal and they'll swoop in to get you."

"Hahahahaha, okay, sounds fair dude!"

Duncan went over and ended up standing next to Courtney. Neither of them batted an eye at each other.

"Next, Surfer Chick Extraordinaire, Bridgette!"

Bridgette came off in her classic blue hoodie with a surf was lookig at at the water when she walked past Chris, "Better water than on Wawanakwa, might catch some better waves."

"Well then, next we have the Braniac of Doom, Noah!"

Noah exited the boat, made no comment towards anyone and just joined the group.

"Talkative aren't we? Next up, the Muscle Mass with heart of Gold, DJ!"

DJ came up to Chris and gave him a brofist, "Hey Chris, good to be back man. Can't tell you how long it's been since I saw everyone!"

"Believe me, I know bro. I know."

DJ went over to join the others, as Chris made a statement, "Now, technically there's two more contestants from the original cast but due to weather, one of them isn't getting here until after everyone else is here. The other one is part of the first challenge, believe it or not."

The original cast members knew who was part of the first challenge after all the group chats, but they weren't aware of the other one. "Um, I thought it was us and the one doing the challenge?" Courtney inquired.

Zoey knew Gwen was coming back, but didn't say anything as if Gwen hadn't shared, she obviously didn't want to.

"Well that was the plan, but last minute contract acceptance. We couldn't turn them down, despite how late on they were. Anyways, now we move onto the Pakhitew cast! Give up for Zombie nut, Shawn!"

"Shawn didn't descend from the boat, but ascended from the sea. "Cmon, Chris, a boat! Thats just begging for Zombies to attack you!"

"Soo, you swam? Hardcore dude." Shawn joined the others. "Anyway, onto the outback Survivalist, Jasmine!"

Jasmine came off the boat, "Never thought I'd be back here, mate."

"Well, money, y'know, hehe..." Jasmine gave Chris a look of contempt.

"Onto the Nice Twin, Samey!"

"It's SAMMY!" The blonde cheerleader yelled as she came off the boat. "At least Amy's not here this time..."

"Yeah, I'm with you there." Chris didn't like the other twin. "Anyway, next is the human Beatbox Machine, Beardo!"

Beardo came off the boat, made a clapping and celebration noise and then joined his contestants.

"Next, the Future Olympian! Sky!"

Sky was looking skittish as she came down,"Oh yes, so... happy to be back."

"Yep. Great to have you. Let's hope Keith isn't watching."

Sky visibly darkened. "Next, the Disney Princess, Ella!"

Ella wasn't paying much attention to her fellow contestants, but more on the bird perched on her finger. "Oh wow, that's so interesting! Do tell me more!"

"Never fails to weird me out that one. Kay, lemme do a quick head count, 2,4,6,8... right, there is one more Pakhitew Island camper, but like the other one is actually a part of the first challenge. So, we actually have 4 contestants from the Ridonculous Race!"

As if on cue, a Chris that startlingly look like Topher appeared. "This is Don, Noah you'll remember him."

"Clearly." Noah's first words were almost spat. Overall his experience on the race wasn't the best thing in the world.

"Well, I'm here to help co-host this season, now for the first of my competitors, the Fun Loving Sister, Kitty!"

A girl with two pigtails and a red sweater came of the boat waving enthusiastically at everyone, especially Noah. "Hey Noah whats up?"

"Not much, just back in this Hell for more cruel and unusual punishment."

"Dry as always."

"Ahem," Don interrupted, "Next, the De-gothed Goth, Crimson!"

Contrary to what was said, the girl to step of was wearing black all over, had the palest face ever and dyed her hair with a red streak. No one was saying this girl wasn't a goth.

"Following her, its the Kid with the Most, Junior!"

A young man walked out, feeling rather annoyed with everything, "My dad's not here, just call me Dwayne man."

"Um, Chris, isn't he a bit, young?" Zoey chimed in.

"Well yeah, but given his performance on the Ridonculous Race, we made an exception for him. Now, last one Don."

"Right away Chris, our last competitor is Half of the Adversity twins, Mickey!"

A young boy stepped off with a helmet around his head. He was pale, freckled and the most nervous of anyone who stepped off the boat. He didn't really look around until he heard Kitty shouting, "Mickey! Hey, long time no see!"

He smiled weakly and waved back before joining the other contestants.

"Well those are my contestants, now you're handling the day one challenge yeah? Cause I need to go reapply my tan."

"Take all the time you need Don." With that, fake Chris disappeared.

"Now, that should; be everyone for the first challenge for no- oh hey! Earlier than predicted."

Another ferry docked and a ramp dropped down. "Campers, this is the final contestant that will be joining us for the new season. By the way, what was the late reply all about, Gwen?"

Several of the first cast murmured as the blue haired goth came down to the dock. "You think I'm ever gonna be eager to come back here Chris?"

"True, but come on. That was the last possible day. We'd already finalised promos!"

"Yeah, not my problem." Gwen strode past the host and stood next to Zoey and Mike. The entire first season cast, except for Duncan, was thrown off by that.


Confessional

"We can use this already yeah? Everyone was a bit surprised Gwen went over to the new people, but I don't blame her." Duncan wasn't looking at the camera, but was instead sharpening a stick he'd found. "It's not like she's had the easiest time with us on the past seasons. Zoey's probably been the nicest to her for the longest anyway."


"Anyway, challenge time. This will determine the teams that you're split into."

"Wait, you're not assigning teams? I though that's how you did it?" Mickey asked shaking.

"Well yeah, but also, Nah! So, the first challenge is to find the two remaining contestants. And don't worry, no one will be eliminated this evening."

A collective sigh of relief rattled across the contestants. "Your mission is to find these two guys, from the first cast, Owen the living fart engine!"

Everyone on the first cast and ridonculous race dry heaved. They knew the stench.

"The other person you're going to find from the Pakhitew Island cast is the clean freak, Dave!"

Sky, Ella and Shawn gasped loudly, but for different reasons.


Confessional

Sky was curled up in the confessional, pulling her legs into the fetal position. "I'm not sure how I feel about this. On one hand, I can apologise and hopefully mend things with Dave, but on the other he did try to kill me at the end of last season."


Confessional

Ella was practically squealing. "Another season with my prince! Yay!"


Confessional

"This is good," Shawn was leaned forward towards the camera, "If I can calm Dave down from where he was last season, then I'll have a friend to hang with. Also, alliance later on and he'd make good Zombie bait, but mostly BOOM, MY BUDDY IS BACK!"


"Now this is a race. The first person to find either of the contestants becomes team captain. The team captain will immediately get the player they found and also be the one to draft out their team. The two winners will also be granted immunity for the first challenge, regardless of whether or not their team wins.

You have until sundown. If you can't find them before then, I will draft the teams myself and no one gets immunity. Maps of the island and a trail of clues to their locations are at the Campground. This is, The Ridicu-Chris Race!"

No one laughed. Gwen coughed, "Was that meant to be funny?"

"No, but it loops continuity easily. On your marks, get set..."

"Hang this is going too fast, could you repeat..."

Mickey was cut off, "GO!"

All 22 campers ran out to start their first challenge.
