Introduction chapter! These chapters are always the most boring to write and read, but it needs to be done. Just try to enjoy and the competition part of the story will begin in no time!

Like in Total Drama Kingdom, I've decided to write what happens in the theme song. It's mostly to hint some drama and the couples. Probably will only appear in this chapter.

Chris: *Walks out in front of the Arena* Welcome back for another season of Total Drama! Last season on Total Drama Kingdom, twenty-four contestants competed in a Medieval/Fairytale themed season full of drama! Christian, the Cynical Villain of the season became the winner of the one million dollar grand prize! Now twenty-four new contestants are going to compete for another million dollars in the toughest season yet. This is Total Drama Arena! This season will take place in Total Drama City, the location of a previously failed season… This season also has a major twist! The Arena!

*Arena*

Chris: Normally on Total Drama, if you get voted out, you're out of the game, and you can never come back! Ever! *Laughs* Like we've ever actually followed that rule. Anyway, this season, eliminated players will have a chance to earn a place back into the game here in the Arena! First player to get voted out of the game will be sent here, where he or she will live by their selves until, the next player is voted out. Anytime there are two or more players in the Arena at a time they will compete in a duel to stay in the game. Winner gets to stay alive for another day, while the loser will be sent home for good. At a predetermined point in the game, the last person left in the Arena will be given a second chance and will return to the normal game and continue competing for the million dollars. Welcome too Total… Drama… Arena!

*Arena Roof*

Chris: Welcome back to Total Drama Arena. It's time to meet the lucky twenty-four contestants who will be competing this season. They will be arriving via helicopter, and will be dropped on the Helipad here on the roof of Total Drama Arena. Here comes the first helicopter now!

*A helicopter lands and a boy with brown mop hair wearing a pair of black jeans, a red button up shirt over a white tank top, and black and red bulky Osiris skate shoes gets out of the helicopter*

Chris: Our first contestant Vinny, the prep!

Vinny: Hello Chris. It's great to be here on Total Drama! *Looks around and sees no other contestants* So I'm the first one to arrive?

Chris: Yup. The others should be here soon, assuming the helicopters don't crash or anything like that…

Vinny: *Sees a helicopter approaching* Looks like somebody else made it here.

*The Helicopter lands and a girl with very long brown wavy, chocolate brown hair wearing black pants, a black shirt and black boots gets out of the helicopter*

Chris: Contestant number two, Mirra, the Fighter!

Mirra: Yeah, that's me. *Stands next to Vinny* So you're my competition?

Vinny: Yes I am.

Mirra: *Laughs* If the others are anything like you, this season will be a piece of cake!

Vinny: We'll see who walks away with the million bucks!

*Another helicopter lands and a muscular boy with long blond hair with a stars and stripes bandana on his head wearing a red shirt, black vest, blue jeans, black boots gets out of the helicopter*

Chris: Everyone meet Logan, our American obsessed contestant!

Logan: U-S-A! U-S-A!

Mirra: Oh yeah, piece of cake.

Logan: *Walks up to the others* I want to win this reality show in the name of the United States of America!

Mirra: You do know this show originated in Canada?

Logan: That doesn't matter. An American is taking the million this season!

Chris: We can continue this America VS Canada battle, after we meet our next contestant!

*A Helicopter arrives and a girl with her hair in a ponytail wearing brightly colored Aeropostale shirt and skinny jeans with glasses and a heart necklace gets out of the helicopter*

Chris: Our next contestant Zanna, the bubbly flirt!

Zanna: *Walks up to the others* Hi everyone! I'm Zanna! It's nice to meet you all! *Shakes Mirra's hand*

Mirra: Hi, I'm Mirra.

Logan: *Walks up to Zanna* Do you live in America?

Zanna: Uh, yes. I've lived all over the country.

Logan: We've got to make sure an American wins this season!

Zanna: Yeah, we should…

*A Helicopter arrives and a boy with a dark brown faux hawk wearing a white v neck t-shirt with a black leather jacket over it. Gray jeans and black high top sneakers steps out of the helicopter*

Chris: Meet Bryan, the Daredevil!

Bryan: *Runs to the edge of the building* I could do some great stunts off of this!

Logan: So you do extreme stunts?

Bryan: All the time! I love the rush!

Logan: One of the greatest American heroes was a Daredevil.

Bryan: Who was that?

Logan: Evil Knieval. He's a pretty good American hero, but the greatest American hero is Hulk Hogan!

Bryan: Oh yeah, he's pretty great American hero…

*A helicopter lands and a girl with straight long black hair wearing bubblegum pink button-down shirt with it tied up under her breasts, sea green khakis and flip flops gets steps out of helicopter*

Chris: Everyone say hello to Fauna, our Vegan Girl!

Fauna: Hello everyone. I'm Fauna. It's nice to meet you all.

Vinny: *Walks up to Fauna* Hello Fauna, I'm Vinny.

Fauna: Hi Vinny. It's so exciting to be here on Total Drama! *Walks and almost falls off the roof* Whoa… That was a close one. Isn't it kind of dangerous having us all up here, on the roof?

Zanna: It is going to get pretty crowded up here pretty soon.

Fauna: Aren't there usually between twenty and twenty-four contestants? That's a lot of people to have on the roof…

Chris: Twenty-four this season, but I'm sure we'll be fine! Hey, it looks like our next contestant is here.

*A boy curly brown hair wearing a red T-shirt with the Coca-Cola logo printed on the front worn over a long black sleeved shirt, a ball cap, dark blue jeans, a white hoodie tied around his waist and white sneakers gets off the helicopter*

Chris: Everyone this is Coop, the Soda Addict!

Coop: *Take a big drink out of a Root beer bottle* Hey, I like soda but I wouldn't say I'm addicted too it… You guys do have soda here right?

Chris: I've got a supply of soda for me and Chef. I don't know what you'd going to do…

Coop: Luckily I brought some soda with me.

Chris: You mean that six pack of Vanilla Coke? You don't get that unless you get sent to the Arena.

Bryan: Arena?

Chris: I'll explain to new twist once the rest of the freaks get here. Hey, here comes the next freak! *Points to a helicopter*

*A helicopter lands and a girl with long red velvet hair wearing shorts and tank top walks out of the helicopter*

Chris: Meet Sami, the Performing Arts Girl!

Sami: Hi everyone! I'm looking forward to getting to know you all.

Zanna: This season is going to be so fun!

Sami: I can't wait! I hope that we can be friends.

Zanna: Oh yeah, I'm sure we'll be really great friends!

*Another helicopter lands and a boy with dark brown hair wearing a snow white hoodie with pink and lime green stripes, jeans and black Addidas running shoes gets off the helicopter*

Chris: Everyone meet Michael, the Awkward Mathlete!

Michael: You have to point out that I'm a Mathlete? I just got here!

Sami: *Smiles at Michael* Uh hey Michael! I'm Sami!

Michael: *Walks up too Sami* Hi. I'm Michael, but you already heard Chris say that…

Sami: Yeah… It's nice to meet you.

Michael: Nice to meet you too… I hope we're on the same team…

Sami: Yeah, me too…

Vinny: Looks like you two have got the hot's for each other!

Michael: No we don't! I don't like her… I mean she's pretty but…

Sami: Yeah, what he said! He's cute, but we just met…

Michael: Yeah, that's it. We just met.

Vinny: Whatever. I'll be watching you two.

*The next helicopter lands and a girl with long wavy black hair wearing black graffiti baseball cap, gradient dyed camisole, open pink and blue striped hoodie, black shorts, white flip flops gets out of the helicopter*

Chris: Everyone, meet Ivy, the prankster!

Ivy: Chris! Why did you tell them I'm a prankster! So much for the element of surprise! *Stands with the other contestants* Hi, I'm Ivy!

Bryan: Bryan.

Ivy: *Shakes Bryan's hand and shocks him* I got you, didn't I! *Laughs*

Bryan: Hey, that was a good one. The buzzer on your hand. You really got me.

Ivy: Oh yeah, I'm going to get you a lot more before the season over. *Pulls out a pack of gum* Want one?

Bryan: I'm not falling for that trick!

Ivy: Suit yourself. *Takes a stick of gum and starts chewing it*

*Another Helicopter arrives and a boy with short black hair wearing a short sleeved white shirt with navy blue shorts gets out of the next helicopter*

Chris: Everyone meet Camden!

Camden: Hello everyone. I'm looking forward to competing with all of you.

Camden: You guys can just call me Cam. I don't mind.

Fauna: Nice too meet you Cam.

Camden: *Stands with the others*

*The next helicopter lands and a girl with straight long blonde hair wearing a red button up shirt, black skintight jeans, blue sandals jumps out of the helicopter*

Chris: The Karate Expert, Christina!

Christina: Thanks for the introduction Chris. *Laughs* Chris and Christina. My name is like a girl version of your name.

Chris: It is! You're much happier to share a name with me than a certain contestant last season. *Looks directly at the camera* Yeah, I'm talking to you Christian!

Christina: *Walks up to the other contestants* So you guys are the competition? *Punches Logan in the arm* It'll be fun kicking your butts!

Mirra: You seem like a worthy competitor. I look forward to competing with you.

Christina. Yeah, I can't wait to compete with you either.

*The next helicopter lands and a girl with tan hair in a spiky bun wearing a black t-shirt with the "Mr. Smith's" brown coffee cup logo, khaki capris, black ankle socks and black sneakers gets walks out of the helicopter*

Chris: Everyone, this is Deborah, the Workaholic Barista!

Deborah: Hi everyone. I'm Deborah, but I am not a workaholic! Sure I work a lot, but It's not like I need to work all the time…

Vinny: She sounds like a workaholic too me.

Deborah: How do I sound like a workaholic?

Vinny: You sound like you're stressed

Deborah: Well I'm not! *Stands with the others*

*A Helicopter arrives and a boy with black hair in a short faux hawk with red tips wearing a pair of steel toe black boots, a pair of black and purple Tripp bondage pants, and a black "Linkin Park" band shirt gets off the helicopter*

Deborah: *Stares at Gary*

Gary: Can I help you?

Deborah: No, no. I'm just fascinated with… your look! You have an interesting look…

Gary: I know what you're really thinking. You think I'm a freak.

Vinny: Of course she does! Look at you! Your voice… It's so…

Gary: *Glares at Vinny* I get it. You preps judging everyone on their looks. I look goth, doesn't mean I'm a bad person or a Satan worshiper or anything like that.

Vinny: That's not what I meant.

Deborah: You think I'm a prep?

Gary: I knew you both were thinking it. I know you all were thinking it.

*The next helicopter arrives and a girl with blue hair in puff ponytails wearing a bright Pink Tee with a panda on it with blue skinny jeans and black platform shoes with two big shiny wristbands gets out of the helicopter*

*A helicopter lands and a girl with fiery orange hair wearing a red tank top with a black leather jacket, denim shorts and black combat boots gets out of the helicopter*

Sol: *Sarcastically* It's going to be so awesome!

Luna: You don't have to be so negative!

Sol: Sorry. I'm only here because you dragged me along with you.

Ivy: That's cool you guys are twins. You don't look that much alike. I mean he's blonde, and you've got black hair.

Luna: Yeah we get that a lot.

Ivy: My brothers are twins. Ed and Al.

Ivy: That's okay. Nice to meet you. By the way, I'm Ivy. *Shakes Luna's hand*

Gary: *Too Sol* Sisters can be annoying can't they.

Sol: Tell me about it. My sister is always so cheery… It's so annoying.

*Another helicopter arrives and a boy with brown hair combed back wearing a gray tee shirt, a dark brown sweater, blue jeans, and white shoes gets out of the helicopter*

Leo: Hey everyone. Looking forward to competing with you all. *Stands in the crowd*

Mirra: You're a fighter? So am I!

*A Helicopter lands and a girl with auburn hair pulled back into a ponytail wearing a light brown suit shirt with rolled up sleeves to elbows, black tie, black gloves, light brown mini skirt, black belt and black boots gets out of the helicopter*

Chris: The Kind Hearted Rocker, Jaxon!

Jaxon: Hey everybody. What's up? *Stands next to Yuki*

Yuki: Hello.

Jaxon: Hey, I'm Jaxon.

Yuki: I'm Yuki.

Jaxon: I like your hair.

Yuki: Thanks.

Zanna: Nice guitar.

Jaxon: Thanks. Maybe I can play for you guys some time.

Zanna: I think that would be really cool.

*A helicopter arrives and a girl with straight black hair wearing short-sleeve white shirt that say Fun-Sized with red skinny jean and black converse shoes with paint splatters on it gets off the helicopter*

Chris: Our final contestant has arrived. Candy, the Crazy Funny Rebel Chick!

Candy: Hey guys! I'm Candy! It's so awesome to meet you guys!

Coop: You seem really excited.

Candy: Why wouldn't I be excited? I'm on Total Drama!

Chris: Now that everyone is here we can start the tour of this seasons location.

Candy: Oh yeah. Where are we anyway? *Looks around*

Deborah: I was wondering that myself, and why are we all at the top of this building?

Chris: The location of this season is Total Drama City! A small gated city full of random skyscrapers and various other buildings.

Jaxon: This place looks really familiar… Like I've been here before…

Chris: We'll start the tour here, on the roof of the Arena. This is where all elimination ceremonies will take place. If your team loses a challenge, you will be forced to come up here vote off one of your own. Voted off players will walk down the staircase of losers and enter the Arena of Shame.

Mirra: You said you were going to explain the Arena too us.

Chris: If you all follow me down the stairs, I'll explain the Arena to you.

*Arena*

Fauna: What is this building for anyway?

Mirra: Why's it called the Arena?

Chris: The Arena is a new twist for this season. On past season of Total Drama, once a player is voted their out of the game for good! This season, if a player wants to return to the game they'll have to earn their way back in the game.

Gary: I still don't get it.

Chris: I wasn't done explaining! Once a player is voted out of the game, they will be sent here to the Arena, where they will live by themselves, until, another player is voted out and sent here. At any point where there are two or more players in the Arena they will compete in a duel. The winner of the duel gets to stay in the game, while the loser is out of the game.

Michael: That sounds a lot like Redemption Island from Survivor.

Camden: This wouldn't be the first time the show stole ideas from other shows.

Chris: Speaking of ripping off Survivor, we have another new twist this season. *Pulls a wooden 'Chris' head out of his pocket* This is the McLean Brand Chris Head! I'm going to hide this baby somewhere in the city. Any player who manages to find this will become the strongest player in Total Drama History! If you find this, you can save yourself or any other player from elimination.

Gary: So it's basically a hidden immunity idol.

Camden: Can't they come up with an original twist for once?

*Chefs Diner*

Chef: This is where you will eat all your meals! This looks like a diner but it doesn't operate like one! Everyone gets the same food, and you will all eat it! Got it?

Sami: Yes Chef…

Vinny: This place doesn't look half bad. It's like an old fashioned diner!

Christina: Better than where the contestants have had to eat in past seasons.

*Intern Building*

Claire: Hello everyone. My name is Claire and I'll be in charge of the interns this season. Last season I was the manager at Playa de Losers, but the drama was too much for me… Now this season, I've been put in charge of you interns. I'll have job assignments for all of you in the morning.

Joshua: Hey Claire, there's only five of us.

Samantha: Yeah I know. Aren't their usually more interns than this?

Claire: We have other interns, but most of them are in the hospital.

Anna: Is that why you're using us rejected contestants as interns? Because the others are in the hospital?

Omar: The voices in my head say you're using us.

Samantha: Yeah, this is ridiculous! We don't even get paid!

Sloan: Come on guys! Look on the bright side. We get to spend a whole summer on the set of Total Drama and we don't have to worry about drama, and voting people off.

Samantha: I'd rather be on the show competing for the million.

Joshua: Yeah me too.

Sloan: Come on guys!

*Café*

Chris: Now this is the Café. Here you can hang out, relax and drink some coffee if you'd like.

Leo: What if we don't drink coffee!

Gary: And who makes the coffee?

Deborah: I could do it. I worked at Mr. Smith's Coffeehouse back home.

Vinny: You're definitely a workaholic.

Chris: Actually we've already got that covered. One of the interns is going to be running this coffee house.

Deborah: Well whoever it is, they don't have the experience I do.

*End Confession*

*Confessional*

Deborah: First confessional of the season! This confessional kind of sucks, but it's still really cool to be here, and have a chance at the million.

*End Confession*

*Confessional*

Vinny: Chris is a really annoying in person. I guess I'll just have to put up with him if I want to win the money.

*End Confession*

*Apartment Buildings*

Chris: As you can see behind me, there are three buildings. These buildings are where you'll be living for the next eight weeks.

Jaxon: So who stays in which building?

Chris: Each team will get their own building. That means this season there will be three teams!

Michael: How are we going to be divided?

Chris: The teams will be chosen by the winners of this season's first challenge!

Angelica: What's our challenge going to be?

Chris: You just have to wait and see, next time! Be sure to tune in. The drama has just begun, right here on Total… Drama… Arena!

Next Time on Total Drama Arena-

Chris: The winners of today's challenge will be able to pick their teammates. The first challenge of the season is a game of Musical Chairs!

Gary: Seriously?

*Static*

Chris: *Plays the Hokey Pokey over the intercom*

Mirra: He keeps on picking the worst songs… Make it stop!

Chris: *Stops the song and everyone rushes towards a chair*
