Update, whoo! Now let's see where are our 27 contestants going first. (I DO NOT OWN ANY SONGS USED IN THIS CHAPTER OR THE REST OF THIS STORY)

Chris sat in the cockpit of the plane with Chef, Chris was wearing an old fashioned pilot uniform while Chef wore a more modern one.

"Last time on Total Drama World Tour, the season has officially begun! While I did say this season would have twenty-four contestants, three contestants just had to be included. What can I day, there are some real wacky people out there. Anyway, with twenty-seven teens competing this season, it's sure to be awesome! Johan got a blast from the past in the form of Tina, I wonder how they know each other. What do you think of the newbies Chef?"

"I already don't like that French kid..." Chef answered, his face contorted into a look of disgust.

"Who? Sylvain? Yeah, you did seem pretty miffed at the fact that he called you 'Not-A-Chef', hehe. Anyway, today we head to our first destination. What kind of challenge will our contestants do, and what will the teams be? Find out right now on Total Drama World Tour!"

The 27 contestants were eating their breakfast, which was the usual gruel Chef served.

"Even though it's been a year, I'll never forget how gross Chef's food is." Dutch joked.

"Don't call him a chef. Real chefs cook food, this is... I'm not sure." Sylvain responded, his accent showing a bit.

"You think you could do better?" Darby asked.

"Of course!" Sylvain responded with a confident tone.

"Can you really cook? I would kill for some French Toast right now!" Jenna exclaimed. Sylvain rolled his eyes, ignoring the energetic girl's statement. Janet fell asleep as she was eating, making her fall face first into her breakfast, prompting a few of the others to laugh. Ben helped her back up, only for her to fall back onto her food.

Chris turned on the plane's intercom system, which caused some feedback when it turned on due to the volume Chris had it on.

"Attention contestants, I need all in the cargo hold immediately. If you're not there, you'll have to deal with Chef."

Everyone entered the cargo hold, Chris wasn't there yet. A piano and various other instruments were there.

"So why did Chris ask us to come in here?" Blake questioned.

"You don't think he called us in here just to throw us out of the plane?" Miles asked with an unsure tone.

"I'd love to, but I'm not doing that yet." Chris said as he entered the room. "I called you all here for two reasons. Firstly, we're heading to our first destination, and second..." The Song Alarm went off. "Get ready to sing the first song of the season. And remember, you don't sing, you don't compete!"

"But what do we sing about?" Roth asked.

"Why don't you sing about what you're all playing for. The million dollars!" Chris replied. Ciana walked towards the piano and began to play it, the others also picked up instruments and began to play.

Garret (main singer) and everybody else (chorus)

The best things in life are free

But you can give them to the birds and bees

I need money (that's what I want)

That's what I want (that's what I want)

That's what I want (that's what I want)

That's what I want (that's what I want)

Money don't get everything, it's true

But what it don't get, I can't use

I need money (that's what I want)

That's what I want (that's what I want)

That's what I want (that's what I want)

That's what I want (that's what I want)

Money (that's what I want)

Aha ha ha ha ha (that's what I want)

Woah yeah (that's what I want)

Give me money

Lots of money

That's what I want!

"Bravo! I'm actually kind of impressed!" Chris praised.

"I never knew you could play the piano Ciana!" Nikki noted.

"Yeah I know how, but I don't like it..." Ciana replied.

"Hey Chris, what are we gonna do about teams?" Matt asked.

"Teams will be decided during the challenge today. Speaking of the challenge, you might want to hold on to something." Chris answered. Knowing what was about to happen, the teens all hung on to someone or something as the plane began to descend. Once the plane had finally came to a stop, everybody exited the plane only to be welcomed by intense heat.

"Welcome to Egypt, home of the Pyramids!" Chris announced.

"We could've gone anywhere, but you chose to bring us here..." Vicky said, wiping her forehead. Chris just shrugged at her statement.

"Since we're in Egypt, the challenge is pretty obvious. Find your way through the Pyramids." Chris explained. "Now go!"

"Wait, what about the teams?" Miles asked.

"Don't worry about it!" Chris said, hurrying him into one many entrances to the pyramids.

Blake, Dutch, Viola and Ciana were together in a group, they were talking about the new contestants.

"I mean Vicky seems like a b*tch, but hopefully she gets voted off before she gives us any problems." Ciana scowled.

"Don't worry about her, let's just focus on getting through here." Dutch said.

"Alright fine... but what about you guys?" Ciana said.

"I think some of them are pretty ok." Blake answered.

"Yeah, they aren't bothering me." Dutch added.

"Well I am keeping my eye on Tina." Viola admitted. "She seems to know Johan from somewhere and it might cause a strain on his relationship with Nikki."

"Speaking of relationships, didn't you say you wanted to start looking for a boyfriend Ciana?" Blake asked.

"I think she mentioned something about Garret earlier." Viola added.

"S-shut up!" Ciana snapped, blushing a little bit.

"Alright, we'll let you think about your crush in peace." Blake joked.

"Look, I see light over there!" Ciana said, sure enough there was a light at the end of the path they took.

*confessional*

Ciana: Geez, can't they just keep their mouths shut!

*end confessional*

Matt, Gary and Tristan were in a group, Gary chose to do the challenge with Matt because he believed Matt looked like a smart guy. Tristan just tagged along with them...

"Yo this place is creepy dude." Tristan said uneasily.

"Just don't touch anything." Gary replied, rolling his eyes.

The boys came across some hieroglyphics depicting several monsters. One looked like a large moth with several intimidating patterns on it, another looked like a humanoid shadow with wings, one was a large lizard-like being, the shortest one looked like some sort of lizard with a shell similar to that of an armadillo, but it had spikes on it. The one leading these four monsters was an being that looked rather angelic, it had a snake-like head with several spikes protruding from its shoulders. The five monsters seemed to be facing off against a large demonic creature that had had a face that was similar to a tribal mask. In between them all was a crystal being held by a human with five other humans by the monsters. Some words were beneath the picture, which intrigued the boys.

"Yo, I don't know what this is bit it's dope af." Tristan noted.

"Did you just physically say 'af'?" Matt asked.

"Matt you're a smart guy, right? Can you translate this?" Gary asked.

"What the hieroglyphics? Child's play." Matt said confidently. He took out his PDA and scanned the hieroglyphics with it. "The spirits of the beasts lie within the crystal. He who sins shall be tormented by The Punisher. He who is punished under false pretenses or fights for the good of mankind will be aided by the Golden Hero. Alongside the Hero is the Hunter, the Renegade, the King, and the Sky Queen. If the crystal were to be taken, the demon will have the opportunity to strike."

"Look at this thing!" Tristan said, pointing out the crystal that was shown in the picture. Tristan began reaching for the crystal before Matt smacked his hand away.

"Don't be an idiot, let's just keep moving." Matt said. The three of them kept moving, but Gary ran back and took the crystal without the other boys knowing.

*confessionals*

Tristan: Dang, he didn't have to be so rough...

Gary: I don't know if the crystal really does have the power of monsters inside of it but hey, it looks cool. Plus if it is real then I can get a threat out of my way.

*end confessionals*

Tina clung to Johan the entire time they went through the pyramid. Johan himself was holding Nikki close and tried to shake Tina off, but it didn't work.

"So why haven't you told Nikki about us Jojo?"

"Us? You mean you two..." Nikki began before Tina cut her off.

"Dated? Yup! But Jojo just stopped talking to me for some reason!"

"Now you know that's not true Tina. You cheated on me with about three or four other guys and a girl too. After that you constantly sent me letters, texts, emails and calls practically begging for me back while you continued to be unfaithful to the other people you were dating at the time." Johan explained.

"Wait, so..." Nikki tried to say before Tina ran away with Johan. She ran with Johan until they reached a split path. Before Tina could go any farther, Johan managed to break free.

"Let go of me! Tina, I broke up with you. You chose not to be faithful so I called it off. I have a girlfriend now, so enough with this. Just go away and leave me be." Johan exclaimed. Tina pouted and took one of the paths, Johan shook his head and took the other. Nikki ran towards the split paths but she didn't see who took which path, so she just took the path that Tina took.

*confessionals*

Nikki: Wait, so Tina and Jojo use to date? Well Johan doesn't have any feelings for Tina anymore... does he?

Johan: If you're wondering if I still have feelings for Tina, absolutely not. She broke my heart, Nikki put it it back together. I like her and only her.

Tina: Johan still has feelings for me, and even then there's a ton of cute guys here.

*end confessionals*

About a half hour later, Chris was waiting for the contestants to exit the pyramid. He was beginning to grow inpatient when Darby, Vicky And Elsa all exited the pyramid first.

"Well here's something I didn't expect. Looks like you girls managed to actually beat the veterans." Chris said. "Now I need you to stand on the left mat."

The three girls went over to one of three mats that was behind Chris. Soon, Tina exited the pyramid with Nikki not too far behind.

"Good to see you girls. Join the others behind me."

As soon as Chris finished talking, Ciana's group exited the pyramid out of one exit while Stephanie came screaming out of another exit, she was brushing spider webs off of her. Once she had all of the webs off of her, she stopped screaming and tried to catch her breath.

"Very smooth Steph. Anyway you and the girls can join the others on the ma, except for you Dutch." Chris said. "You can go on the second mat."

"Is there really a difference?" Dutch asked.

"You'll see, just step on the mat." Chris replied. While they continued waiting for anybody else, Darby decided to talk to Elsa.

"Hey, didn't you say you were a musician or something?" She asked.

"Yup, but I'm known by my stage name; Kayla Storm." Elsa answered.

"That explains it, I've heard your music before, it's pretty awesome." Darby said. While they continued to converse, Gary's group and Johan exited the pyramid.

"Guys, what happened. Literally nine girls and Dutch beat you here." Chris teased. "Hehe I'm kidding, just stand with Dutch."

As soon as the boys joined Dutch, four more boys left the pyramid. Miles, Timothy and Sylvain came out of one exit in a group, while Hayden came out of another by himself.

"Well that's convenient! Guys, stat with the other guys." Chris said. Slowly but surely, the last nine contestants came out of the pyramid. "Really? It took you that long to get out of the pyramid?"

"Chill Chris." Anthony pleaded.

"Whatever. The nine of you just go stand on the empty mat." Chris said. Each mat now had nine teens standing on it.

"Now here's the deal, this season will have three teams with nine contestants in each team. But for an added treat, this time you get the opportunity to name your own team. And since the all girl team arrived first, they get to decide first." Chris announced.

"I got one! How about The Savage Squad." Ciana suggested.

"If we're going to choose our own team name, it needs to be something that sounds nice yet intimidating." Viola stated. The girls thought for a moment before Nikki had an idea.

"How about, 'The Femme Fatales'."

"That actually sounds pretty sick!" Vicky acknowledged.

"Hot damn! Call the po-lice and the fireman!" Ciana added.

"So it's settled then, from now on your team is known as the Femme Fatales." Chris announced. Their team symbol was the female gender symbol in a ruby red color.

"Next is the guys team, do you have your name decided yet?"

"Yes we have. Our team name will be the Philosophes." Sylvain proclaimed.

"Don't you mean Philosophers?" Chris asked.

"No, Philosophes is the French term for Philosophers." Sylvain answered. Chris glared at Sylvain for a moment. Their team symbol was a bronze thought bubble with a question mark inside of it.

"Moving on... team three?"

"Oh oh oh! I know! How about 'Team Fluffy Pandas'!" Stephanie suggested.

"Ohmygosh I love it!" Jenna praised, the others didn't have a chance to object before their team symbol appeared. The symbol was a panda with fluffy fur inside of a black circle.

"Great, now that the teams have been decided, we can start the second part of today's challenge. The three teams will navigate their way to the Nile River and build rafts to cross it. The first team to cross the Nile wins, the second teams is safe for tonight and the losing team sends someone home. I'll see you there." Chris explained, getting into a helicopter and flying away in the direction of the river.

*confessionals*

Viola: If I'm going to make this team work, I'll have to help them get along and cooperate. It won't be easy but I'll have to make it work.

Johan: Man it sucks that I'm not on the same team as Nikki, I just hope having Tina around doesn't ruin my relationship with her...

Anthony: Why did my team have to be called the Fluffy Pandas. Granted I didn't have any suggestions but anything would've been better than that!

*end confessionals*

The Fluffy Pandas were already having a few difficulties. Janet fell asleep, leaving Ritchie to carry her. Jenna was on Anthony's shoulders tapping his head, suddenly she jumped onto Garret's back. Not wanting to deal with her, Garret grabbed her and set her onto the sand.

"We don't have time for games, we need to win the challenge." Garret said seriously. Janet began to wake up and Ritchie helped her to her feet.

"I feel asleep again didn't I. What did I miss and what are we doing?" Janet asked.

"We need to get to the Nile River or we lose the challenge and vote someone off." Ben explained.

"Can you help us?" Isabel asked. Janet looked around for a bit until she saw a wild camel weakly walking along the sand.

"Follow that camel, it looks like it's thirsty, meaning it's going in the direction of the river. If we follow it then we should be able to get there rather quickly." Janet announced.

"How do you know?" Ronnie Jay asked.

"I'm studying zoology so I know a lot about animals." Janet replied before falling asleep again. Ritchie picked her up again as the Pandas began following the camel. Jenna ran up to the camel and jumped onto it's back, causing it to collapse.

"Whoo!" She cheered.

"What are you doing?!" Ben snapped.

"Trying to help our friend get some exercise! More weight means more muscle! Come on big guy, keep on moving!" Jenna exclaimed. Garret lifted Jenna off of the poor animal and Roth helped it back to its feet. Jenna climbed onto Garret's shoulders again, rolling his eyes Garret and the rest of his team pressed on.

The Femme Fatales and Philosophes were both following Chris' helicopter. Eventually, Elsa tripped and fell face first into the sand.

"Eww... gross... wait up girls!" Elsa said, spitting sand out of her mouth, Darby helped her back up.

"You alright?" Darby asked, Elsa nodded.

"Hey! Pick it up you slackers!" Vicky hissed the rest of the Femme Fatales stopped to see what was happening, giving the Philosophes a bit of a lead.

"Oh hush!" Darby argued.

"Girls, we have no time to argue, the other teams are going to beat us at this rate!" Viola said. The girls saw the boys getting ahead of them and ran after them almost instantaneously.

After about twenty minutes of following Chris helicopter, the two teams reached the Nile River. Chris landed back down onto the ground and gave the teams their insturctions.

"Smart move following the heli, now there are piles of materials that you can use to build a raft to cross the river. The first team to reach the other side wins and gets to stay in first class. The two teams began building their rafts, once they each had about a fourth of their rafts done, the Pandas finally arrived.

"Better kick it into overdrive Fluffy Pandas, or else you're sending someone home." Chris teased. After another forty five minutes, the two teams in the lead had finished their rafts and were paddling across the river with the Femme Fatales slightly ahead of the Philosophes. Some of the Pandas looked rather anxious about their situation.

"Come on guys we can't lose the first challenge!" Anthony exclaimed.

"Please, we're going as fast as we can!" Stephanie pleaded.

"Finished!" Ritchie exclaimed, the Pandas quickly pushed the raft into the water and started rowing, but as soon as they were a third of the way through the river, Chris announced something.

"And the Femme Fatales take the first victory. The Philosophes take second place, leaving the Fluffy Pandas as the first losers. Get ready Pandas, because you're sending someone home, as for the ladies, you get to enjoy first class. The boys will have to stay in the Economy Class with the Pandas."

Later that evening, the Femme Fatales were enjoying first class. Ciana was sitting in one of the seats getting ready to take a nap when Tina approached her.

"Hey Ciana, can you keep a secret?" She whispered.

"Uh, sure. What's up?" Ciana responded, Tina pulled out a large bottle of Bacardi from behind her back.

"I swiped this from the bar, you want some?" Tina asked.

"Nah, I'm good. You should put that thing back though." Ciana replied. Suddenly they heard shouting from the cockpit.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE BACARDI'S GONE!"

It was Chef, who sounded furious. Amy literally jumped out of the cockpit in fear of Chef's wrath.

"I didn't do anything!" Amy pleaded. "Samey! What did you do?!"

"It wasn't me! I swear!" Sammy answered.

"Perhaps you misplaced it?" Dawn suggested. Tina ran off to avoid getting caught.

At the barf bag ceremony, the nine members of Team Fluffy Pandas were seated on the bleachers. Some of them were glaring at Jenna, Janet was asleep, Jenna was humming 'I Wanna be Famous', and a few others were nonchalant.

"Fluffy Pandas, here's how the voting works. You'll enter the confessional and stamp the passport of the person you want gone. Understood?" Chris explained.

*voting confessionals*

Garret: You need to learn to calm down.

Anthony: I don't wanna sound mean, but this team would probably work better without you.

Roth: *she silently stamps one of the passports*

Isabel: What you did to that camel was so mean!

Ben: I don't want to sound mean but you're kind of annoying.

Ritchie: You need to take a chill pill!

Ronnie Jay: *the room is full of smoke* Anybody else see the giant bug monster?

Janet: *she stamps one of the passports, causing a solid thumping sound. Then she falls asleep again, causing her head to plop down onto the passports causing a similar sound*

Jenna: You need sleep little lady! Maybe going home is good for you!

*end confessionals*

"Well I gotta say I am definitely not surprised at the votes." Chris said. "If you're safe, you get this barf bag filled with complementary peanuts. The first of which goes to Garret."

"Jenna."

"Aww, but I was having so much fun! Oh well, have fun guys!" Jenna said cheerfully. She took the parachute Chris gave her and leaped out of the plane.

"And so were down to twenty-six. Will the Fluffy Pandas bounce back after their first loss? Find out next time on Total Drama World Tour!" Chris signed off.

Later while everyone was asleep, the crystal that Gary took began emitting an eerie red glow in the form of a mist. The mist seemed to have a demonic face in it.

So what did you think? Where are the contestants going next? Only time will tell...
