Hi all! I've decided to start up a new fanfic for the Total Drama fandom as I deleted my old story; the writing was honestly awful. Hopefully I've improved somewhat. This will likely be a fairly long story bringing back all original 21 contestants from TDI (minus Ezekiel) plus Alejandro and Sierra. They're back at Camp Wawanakwa, free of toxic waste and the plan is a classic, simple (yet drama-filled!) season of Total Drama. I'm going to have three smaller teams instead of two, in TDWT style as I really enjoyed the close interactions Team Amazon and Team Chris is Really Really Really Hot showed throughout the season (sorry, Victory!).
In this universe, Owen won TDI, Duncan won TDA, Heather won TDWT, and Cameron won ROTI (although that has no effect on this story). Think of this as the replacement to TDAS. Obviously, this is very much not an original idea but hopefully it can pull through. Feel free to provide challenge ideas and/or constructive criticism! Thanks for taking the time to read and review. Let the drama...commence!
Chris Mclean stood on the dock that had sent so many losers home. He flashed a cheesy grin at the camera.
"Welcome back to the most awesome-est TV series ever, Total Drama! I'm Chris, THE most handsome and hilarious host that ever did host. I know, I'm pretty awesome!" He proclaimed.
He walked along the dock, "This season, we invited back all of the original cast for one more shot at the grand prize, 2 million dollars! Yeah, we got the budget this time around. Of course, most of it went to my luxury cabin. Tanning beds, widescreen TVs, and saunas don't come cheap! Anyways...what with the drama and history these people have with each other, it looks like we're gearing up for the perfect season of Total Drama - full of drama, challenges, and fun! Well, fun for me! Welcome to: Total Drama: All Out!"
*Theme Song*
"Let's start by introducing two of our most well-liked contestants: Owen and DJ! Welcome back guys!" said Chris.
DJ and Owen, both grinning, walked onscreen, bumping fists with Chris and looking around at their old stomping grounds.
Owen hugged DJ and with enthusiasm, yelled: "Oh yeah! I'm here to win it, Chris! Remember when I won and then.. I didn't? Cause I gave up the money for more money, and then didn't get that money? Kind of a bummer." He said morosely. "But it's all good! Plus I get to see some of my old friends again!"
DJ agreed. "Yeah, totally! But I'm also here to find love. Ever since World Tour, I realized how lonely I am since I moved out from my mama's house. I know there's lots of mixed-up feelings in this group, but maybe I can find someone who's super chill and into me!"
"Ok, well, that's great and all guys," complained Chris, "But keep it movin', 'kay? We don't have all the time in the world! I'm not even sure we'll get to the teams at this point! Geez!"
DJ and Owen frowned but moved to the side. Chris smirked and said, "Ok, well, let's welcome back three more...controversial opponents for some well-needed drama! Haha..hahahaha! Here's Heather, Alejandro, and Courtney!"
The three walked towards Chris. Alejandro and Heather were holding hands and laughing, obviously together. Courtney looked especially ticked off.
-Confessional : Heather and Alejandro
Heather is sitting on Alejandro's lap, looking smug.
"Well, we're back here. Yay.. I guess. But I don't even care that this camp is as gross as ever," Heather smirked. "We fully intend to be running the game by next week. Together, we're unstoppable! Obviously, no one will trust us at this point. We've played our hands, and it worked out for one of us!"
Alejandro's eye twitched.
She continued, "So our strategy? Work hard each week to ensure our team doesn't lose, and if that fails, we make sure to turn our teammates against someone who we can scapegoat! Right, Alejandro?"
"Yes. She is right. It may be tough, but we're cunning enough to ensure our eventual victory. I plan on crushing the competition...of course, not you, chica!"
Heather and Alejandro grinned deviously at the confessional camera.
-Confessional : Alejandro
"Well, Heather may be completely entranced in my dashingly good looks." He chuckled. "I can't blame her! However, I plan to ditch her right away by convincing the others to vote her off at the merge. Sure, I'll keep her on my side while I'm vulnerable. But once I can gain allies from the rest of the campers, I'll be on my way to the 2 million. Heather, meanwhile, who CHEATED me out of my rightful prize two seasons ago, will be at Playa Des Losers, bathing in her loss!"
Alejandro chuckled again. "She'll never see it coming."
"Chris, are you kidding me?! Why am I being introduced with these two... these two..villains! I'm an honest contestant!" complained Courtney.
Chris laughed at her. "Well, I knew you'd be ticked off by it, so...why not! It's fun to see you squirm!"
Courtney growled and stomped off to stand next to DJ and Owen. Alejandro and Heather stood together, staring into each other's eyes.
"Hey Courtney! How have you been?" DJ asked, ever the peacemaker.
Courtney glanced at DJ and seemed to decide that making friends was better than causing strife. "Hello DJ. Hmph...I guess I've been fine. I got accepted to my dream college, so that's pretty amazing, I guess!"
"Wow, that's so awesome for you! Congrats!" He patted Courtney on the back.
-Confessional : Courtney
"Listen - I'm not planning on making too many friends this time around. Last time I tried that, Gwen and I totally hit it off! Until she STOLE my boyfriend." Courtney sniffed and continued on her tirade. "I'm sure you remember that fabulous number I performed, Boyfriend Stealer. But! I don't really think I have many friends left on the island. And to be honest, I'll take any allies I can get! DJ is a good one, as he's athletic, level-headed, and friends with everyone! Maybe I'll get some of his friends on my side! But that's all these people are - allies. Not friends. I intend to make it all the way, and making friends will make it harder!"
She looked down and sniffed again.
"And here's our geeks, nerds, wimps, ehhh. Whatever you wanna call 'em." Chris snickered. "Harold, Noah, Cody, and by association, Sierra!"
The group walked on to the dock. Noah looked supremely ticked off. And for good reason, as Harold was chatting his ear off about Leshawna.
"Yeah, my luscious lady and I are finally dating!" Harold bragged. "We got together after I honorably sacrificed myself on World Tour. She saw my mad skills and afterwards we reconnected."
Noah sighed and said sarcastically, "Cool, Harold. Really awesome. Unbelievable. Amazing. Perfect. Chef's. Kiss." He looked at the camera.
-Confessional : Noah
"YOU try having Harold telling you all about his love life. I'm all for love and happy endings...I guess, but this is too much. If it wasn't for the money, I'd have quit by now. A person can only take so much." Noah complained. "At any rate, I'm not quitting. I did abysmally in the first season, and due to that slimy eel Al, World Tour was barely better. I'm optimistic that this season I'll have progressed even further."
Sierra was, surprisingly, acting normal. And Cody seemed...happy?
"Wow...hey guys. Cody..Sierra! Where's the manic mentality from Season 3? Did somebody get hit on the head? Or undergo a brain surgery?" Chris joked.
Cody and Sierra looked sweetly to each other: "Well, actually, we're dating!" Cody said. "I decided that after all Sierra had done for me, it would be rude to ignore her. We're a happy couple!"
"Eeeeeeeeeee! Codykins! I can't believe you just said that! We just went public! Yesssssss!" Sierra squealed.
Everyone was shocked. Nobody knew what to say. Well, except for Courtney. She always had something to say.
"Well. I'm glad to see that SOMEBODY got something good out of Team Amazon! Congrats, you guys!" She smiled amicably.
-Confessional : Courtney
"Again. No friends. Just preparing for later."
Sierra ran over and squeezed Courtney. "Wow, thanks Courtney! That means so much! Eeeeeeeeee!"
Chris groaned, "Enoughhhhh! That's enough! Moving on! Please welcome back some of our favorite girls: Bridgette, LeShawna, Gwen, Beth, Lindsay, Sadie, Katie, anddddd...Izzy!"
Bridgette, LeShawna, and Gwen high fived as they walked together towards the rest of the campers. Lindsay and Beth giggled and skipped after them. Suddenly, Izzy appeared out of nowhere and hopped onto Chef's head, who was standing nearby.
"Hahahaha! Izzy's back and she's ready to play Win the Million Dollars! Hehehhehehehe!" Izzy cackled.
Katie and Sadie followed after the rest. Curiously, they were not squealing, jumping up and down, or being generally annoying. Once again, everyone was at a loss for words.
-Confessional : Katie and Sadie
Sadie giggled and said, "We decided that we're going to take this chance more seriously. I mean, we haven't competed since Season 1! Might as well make this one worth it."
Katie nodded at her best friend. "Hopefully we'll make it pretty far. Maybe even the Final Two! Eeeeeeeeeee!"
Chris smiled at the newly introduced contestants. "Hey, ladies! How are we doing right now? Excited? I hope you are!"
"As if. This is so sucky already. Nothing new. Same old, same old. Same people, same camp, same stupid host." Gwen complained. "Soooo unoriginal."
"Hey! I could kick you out if I wanted to! It's not hard! I'll just bring Zeke back!" Chris frowned. "I know you all want him back on the show!"
Bridgette scratched her head. "Wait, why isn't Ezekiel coming back? What happened?"
"Uhhh, duh. He went feral during World Tour. Were you just not paying attention?" said Heather.
Lindsay nodded happily, "Yeah, Britney! Ezekiel went crazy and turned green! It was kind of scary," she added, wide-eyed.
"Ohhhh, right! Sorry guys, I've just been totally caught up in Geoff! I must have forgotten!" Bridgette explained. "We're just so happy together! We bought a house on the beach and we go surfing everyday...it's so romantic! Sorry, what were we talking about?"
"Uh, Ezekiel." reminded Beth.
Chris interrupted: "And finally, hepre's, uh- I don't really know, I guess the leftovers? I kind of forgot about these guys. Pretty forgettable. Trent, Justin, Tyler, Geoff, Eva, and Duncan!"
-Confessional : Eva
"He's calling ME forgettable?! I'll show him how to forget!" she growled. "These morons better watch out. I'm here to beat them all."
Geoff and Duncan strolled towards DJ and Bridgette. As Duncan passed by Courtney, she frowned at him and started muttering to herself.
"He's gonna get it...must make him pay...stupid delinquent...loser...moron!"
Bridgette and Geoff reunited while DJ and Duncan fist-bumped. Tyler and Lindsay hugged and immediately began making out, while Katie and Sadie ran to Justin to fawn over him. Only Trent had not greeted anyone yet, prompting Chris to walk over.
"Listen, dude, it's not like I care, but you good?" Chris asked him.
Trent sighed, "Yeah, I'm fine. Just...looking forward to the competition, I guess."
-Confessional : Trent
"It's just tough seeing Gwen again after everything that happened between us during Action. At least she and Duncan broke up, so it's not totally awful," Trent said, "but I'm not feeling so hopeful about my chances. I'm kind of alone, seeing as Gwen and I aren't a thing anymore and I never really had that many friends to begin with."
-Confessional : Izzy
"I felt kind of bad for the guy."
Chris turned to the campers, "Anyways, now that we're all acquainted and ready to stir up some drama, let's discuss the challenge!"
"Woohoo! A challenge, yeah!" Owen yelled.
"Huh? Whaddya mean, Chris? What about the teams, the cabins, the settling in?!" LeShawna demanded.
He chuckled, "Patience, LeShawna, patience. We'll get to all that after the first challenge. And, by the way, this very special challenge will be a double elimination! Yeah, I know, shocker! And it won't be a voting elimination. You'll have to actually, ahem, perform in the challenge to make it through!"
Harold and Cody gulped and looked at each other.
Heather demanded: "Well, are you even going to TELL us about the challenge? Or are we just going to stand here like statues until you die of old age? Oh wait, that won't take long, ahhaha."
Chris glowered at the queen of mean.
"Well, with that outburst, it looks like we're out of time for this episode. I was right - we didn't even get to the challenge! Lame! See you next time on! Total! Drama! All Out!"
Sorry that this is so short. To be honest, I would have kept going with the chapter and done the challenge but I didn't have any ideas! It'll probably be something physical though, so Harold and Cody have reason to be concerned. I hope this is a competent first chapter and entices someone to read the rest of the fic. What with this quarantine stuff going on, this story should be updated fairly often. I already have most of the elimination order laid out, which makes it much easier. However, that's subject to change. Feel free to leave me a review. Thanks!
