A camera showed a bird's eye view of Kikai island, and quickly zoomed downwards to reveal the host Gregory.
"Welcome to Total Drama: Roulette the greatest reality show out there! I'm your host Gregory Milton, and we're about to meet our new contestants. Hell, I can already see their boat."
The host pointed towards a yacht containing thirty different contestants for the season, some of the contestants looked excited while others seemed more cautious about the game that was about to begin.
Gregory turned the camera back to him and simply said "Let's see how long they last…" with a grin on his face.
As the opening starts multiple cameras appear out of different places on the island while a moving camera zooms past Gregory, who pulls a lever on a machine with multiple challenges listed on, and up a hill.
"Dear mom and dad, I'm doing fine" The camera passes Adison and Laura who are working on building some sort of structure with Lana closely watching them making sure neither of them gets injured during the construction process.
"You guys are on my mind" The camera stops moving to show Zeke and Nicole who are arguing about whether or not it is ok to eat animals.
"You asked me what I wanted to be and now I think the answer is plain to see" The camera moves to the side to show Gabe and Wendy who are watching the previous two argue while they are planting strawberry seeds in the greenhouse.
"I wanna be Famous." The camera goes down the hill to show Blake telling multiple jokes to Christian who is visibly annoyed with the former's horrible attempts at comedy as the camera fades out to a different scene.
"I wanna live close to the sun" A new camera zooms in on Cody who is relaxing in a lawn sunbathing chair, as he notices the camera he winks at it and the camera moves away
"So pack your bags 'cause I've already won" Una is shown setting off a log trap that just barely misses Mia but instead crashes into the boy's bathroom where Christopher is putting on face paint.
"Everything to do, nothing in my way, I'll get there one day" Trinity is trying to clean the kitchen with little to no results.
"Cause I wanna be famous." Piper is seen on the other side of the kitchen pulling a gold coin out of the wall, after she inspects the coin, to make sure it's real, she shoves it into her bag
"Na na na na na na na" In the castle Xavier is trying to Antonio about a new horror movie but the latter ignores him by locking himself in a prop iron maiden, with a lamp and a manga book, so he can read in peace. Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, Michael is creating Origami when he accidentally rips a part of the dragon he was making, frustrating the artist.
"Na na na na na na na na" The camera zooms away to show Andrea, Bella, Al, and Violet who are all trying to fix a broken computer in the computer lab when suddenly Lucifer pops out of the closet scaring the group.
"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous" Cora and Lance are having a ride on their respective bikes with Joseph trying to catch up with the two and Emily cheering him on.
"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous" The camera is covered by dust from the three's race and when the dust settles it reveals a man who smiles at the camera and sprays paint over it. Another camera turns on and shows Javier and June about to hold hands when they're suddenly interrupted by Jaxon. Who pops between them smiling, and with his left eye twitching. The camera finally pulls back showing all of the contestants whistling the tune while around a "campfire"
The boat finally docked at the Island allowing all of the contestants to take in their all-new environment. Some contestants looked worried about the island's advanced nature while others saw it as an opportunity to experience some thrills.
"Well well, welcome campers if you follow me I'll take you to the center stage where we will take an attendance call." As soon as Gregory said that, he started to lead them to a giant musical stage that seemed to be used for all types of performances.
Multiple contestants were murmuring about their surroundings when suddenly a kid with a Mocking Bobsponge shirt spoke up. "Ayo I thought Chris was in charge of the island, where is he?"
Gregory's eyes turned red as he started to speak "Ah yes Chris… well he's not allowed to use these mechanical islands anymore after the Scarlett incident. But why would you want someone who isn't me, honestly you should be grateful that you didn't get stuck with Magazine, she made people fight in mechs or something." [1]
The kid responded to his comment "Ok but shouldn't there at least be a chef or something? This island seems like a lot of work for one person, wouldn't it be preferable to have a cohost?"
"You see that's what makes me better than Chris, he relies on help while I don't need a Co-host to torture all of you" Gregory gave an evil grin towards the kid "Anyways I'll start with the attendance before explaining everything else *ahem* Adison?"
A muscled girl stood up and shouted "Yeah I'm here." she seemed to be extra alert due to her almost instant response.
Gregory's eyes brightened "You see that's the type of response I'm looking for, Michael?"
A pale man raised his hand and whispered "here…"
"Alrighty how about the returning Total Drama veteran, Cody!"
The entire crowd stopped talking as soon as they heard that a past competitor was actually with them when suddenly Cody dashed through the crowd "Oh yeah! The codemeister is here and he's here to win"
"Awesome man, now how about everyone's favorite weirdo Gabe?"
A kid in a white sweatshirt glared at the host and snapped "I'm going to make you wish you'd never called me that." only to be held back by two muscular men one of whom who had face paint and the other, was rocking a shirt covered in spirals. [2]
"Yeah Christopher and Antonio I'm not exactly afraid of a 16-year-old boy but thanks for showing me that you're here," Gregory said towards the two
The man in the spiral shirt, Antonio, replied: "Heh it was still fun to hold this baka down."
"I'm sure it was, Mia?"
A girl, with a boyish appearance, rushed to the front of the crowd and shouted "Yeah of course I'm here, I wouldn't miss this for the world!"
"Alrighty, well we already know Blake is here because of him asking a question sooo…. Una."
A girl in a Loki-themed shirt smiled and said "Kehehehe, I'm glad you decided to have me on the show."
"After you is Lucifer."
A tall man with a black face mask stood up, in addition he was wearing a black leather jacket with the collar torn off, and simply said "I'm here." Everyone looked at him, some with visible fear.
"Woah, cool someone else who wears a mask?" Lucifer turned to see a girl in a golden outfit with a golden mask over her entire face.
"Yes Piper it is very cool, anyways, Zach are you here?"
When Gregory called out for Zach he got no response, signaling to him that Zach may be absent. Gregory said Zach's name again but still didn't get a response.
"No Zach? Alright then, Javier." Gregory seemed disappointed at the missing contestant.
A man in a basketball outfit jumped up excitedly "Yeah that's me, the best basketball player around!"
"I doubt that, because I'm the best basketball player around," A girl with blue hair said to Javier.
"Who do you think you are challenging my skills? I am a true unit in basketball!"
"I-" before the girl could finish she was cut off by Gregory.
"Ok June and Javier I'm sure you would love to argue over who's the better player but we have to get this wrapped up so, Zeke!"
A man walked to the front of the crowd in his hands were multiple animals, he simply looked up and calmly said "Present"
"Did you have to bring those things with you?" A girl far in the back said to Zeke with rage clearly visible on her face.
"Nicole it's really not-" Gregory tried to defuse the situation but Nicole refused to listen, and she started to scold Zeke.
"Do you have a problem with me bringing animals?" Zeke asked calmly as ever.
"Yes, I have a problem! Animals are horrible disgusting creatures!" Nicole snarled at Zeke.
"*AHEM* I am trying to do my job so if you could shut up that'd be great, Cora"
A girl with a blue and silver ribbon on a black and white shirt stepped up and said "Uh yeah I'm here!"
"Alright, Lana you're up."
A girl with a nurse hat stepped up and softly said "Yeah that's me" her voice was soothing.
"Ok now is Joseph here?"
A man with dark blue hair ran up and said "Yeah I'm Joseph but my friends call me Broseph!"
"I doubt that," Gregory said slightly entertained at the skateboarder's ridiculous nickname "Andrea"
A girl in the far back raised her hand slowly and meekly said "yeah I'm…. here"
"Ok… Bella what about you?"
A girl just stared blankly at the host before realizing her name was called "... OH! I'm here" she blushed at her mistake
"Well, I think I know who's going out first, Al?"
A man in a robot shirt nervously said "Wow- I think I've underprepared myself. Everyone else has multiple bags of luggage while I only have this duffel bag.
"Eh I'm sure you'll do fine, Xavier, are you here?"
A slightly fat man walked up and said "I see dead people… pfft I'm just kidding! I'm just your average horror movie lover!" When he brought up horror movies Piper seemed to move away from him a bit.
"Up now is Wendy" Gregory seemed to be getting tired from saying random names.
A girl with a bandana raised her head and said "Yes?"
"Let's that leaves seven people left,," Gregory's eyes turned a deep shade of purple "Violet are you here?"
A girl in the back was listening to music so loud it got to the point where she hadn't even noticed that her name was called.
"Violet?" Gregory repeated himself to make sure she's not here.
"Hmm? Oh, wait sorry! I'm here!" Violet quickly yelled out, clearly embarrassed.
Gregory's eyes turned to a dark red "Ok…. Laura?"
A girl in overalls grinned and shouted out "Yeah that's my name don't wear it out!"
"Alrighty, now Trinity are you here?" Gregory's eyes turned back to blue.
A girl in a broom-themed t-shirt was frantically cleaning off her bag when Gregory called her name "Yes I'm here… so dirty…" she went back to cleaning her bag.
"Well that was weird, Christian you're-"
"Up? I know. I plan on being ten steps ahead of everyone else in this game." A man in a tuxedo interrupted Gregory which caused his eyes to turn back to a dark red.
"I like the enthusiasm but don't interrupt me. Now onto Emily are you here?."
A girl with a brown jacket brushed off her shoulders and then said "Y-eah I'm h-ere I'm r-eally e-xcited a-bout t-his c-ompetition"
"Well I guess that's good to hear," Gregory said, his eyes turning a bright pink "second-last is Lance!"
A ginger-haired man in a coat smiled and said "Yep I'm here!"
"Now, I present last but not least, Jaxon!" Gregory pointed towards a man with unbrushed hair and a basic white shirt.
"Yes.. yes… yes…." Jaxon repeatedly said looking at the ground.
"Ummm Ok? Everyone except for Zach is accounted for so I can start to explain everything this'll be long so make sure you're listening," Gregory started as he pulled out a button "Everyone move 4 feet apart! This won't work otherwise."
All of the contestants moved away from each other when suddenly a smaller pillar appeared in front of them containing a phone labeled "Roulette Guide".
"This Roulette Guide contains a map of the island so you know where to go, it also has your key for your apartment that each of you will be living in," Gregory started to explain, "It's pretty self explanatory so i'll move onto the rules. Rule number one: each challenge will be part of the categories 'Contestant, Intellectual, Physical, Team, and Trust' and the challenges will be randomized by the pull of this here lever," Gregory went over to a lever and pulled it, causing a digital screen to generate the word "TRUST" he walked back over to his podium "It seems today we'll be starting with a trust challenge, this'll be interesting. Rule number two: failure to show up to a challenge will lead to an instant elimination no ifs ands or buts. Rule number three: Every day your teams will be randomized equally by the lever from earlier, refusal to accept that team will result in instant elimination Finally we have Rule number four: under no circumstance are you allowed to critically harm another contestant, doing so will result in elimination and probably an arrest. Got all of that? Good, now go to your apartments and be back by 3:00 sharp."
The host shot off a blank gun scaring the other contestants into going to their apartments, after a while each of the contestants got to their apartments there were exactly 31. The camera jumped up to the top floor, the only one with 7 rooms. It showed Antonio who immediately locked himself in his room.
"I guess they're putting all of the anti social people up here." Gabe sighed with relief knowing that he wouldn't have to interact with anyone else that much
"Yeah…" Michael mumbled while staring at his apartment, "I don't really wanna talk so i'm going to see what the challenge is." He walked down the stairs whilst looking at his map's marker.
"Gee I guess that's a relief" Andrea shyly said straight to Emily, ignoring the recluse to her right, "I'm not really that good at talking to others."
"A-w c-ome o-n i-t's n-not t-hat b-ad a-ll y-ou g-otta d-o i-s j-ust c-oncentrate o-n w-ho y-ou're t-alking t-o a-nd i-t g-oes b-y e-asily" Emily said smiling at the computer nerd, she then turned to Al and said "I d-oubt b-eing u-nderprepared w-ill b-e a f-actor h-ere i-t s-eems t-hat e-verything i-s t-oo r-andom t-o p-repare f-for."
Al looked down at the other apartments "Are you sure? I feel like it would've been a good idea to at least bring something."
Emily just smiled and responded with "I'm p-ositive i-t's n-not l-ike w-e c-ould u-se o-ur s-tuff i-n c-hallenges a-nyways"
Gabe, who hadn't been paying attention to the conversation next to him, turned to see the other contestants only for him to look away when he saw Emily.
Confessional Start
"She…. looks just like… No no no she's gone Gabe she's gone…" Gabe said, looking terrified.
Confessional End
"I… gotta go. I'll see you guys later." Gabe said as he rushed by Cody, whose room was also up on the top floor.
"What was that all about?" Cody asked, confused about Gabe's sudden exit.
"Um... I don't know it seems he just wanted to get to the new challenge or something" Andrea said while avoiding eye contact.
Al looked at Cody a bit puzzled on the returning camper, like something wasn't right.
Confessional Start
"Why does his head shape and height look different? It hasn't been that long since he was on the show so he shouldn't have grown or anything." Al pondered
"I wonder what's wrong with Al, he just kept staring at me for no real reason." Cody said, confused.
Confessional End
Going down a floor the camera revealed Nicole who was already bugging Zeke.
"I just don't understand how you could like those… pests." Nicole said berating the animal lover.
"Because animals are innocent creatures that shouldn't be disturbed… They are not pests…" Zeke, still calm as ever, responded.
"Can you guys keep it down a notch please? Me and Javier over here are trying to figure out who's the superior basketball player." June said, with a slight bit of annoyance in her voice.
"Yeah you guys have just met and you're already arguing, if you're gonna have an argument at least be civil like me and June, though I know for a fact i'm right because I am a pure basketball machine!" Javier said excitedly
"I don't know what that would even mean but, you're on! After today's challenge, you and me will face each other in a basketball game at the…" she looked down at her guide "Sports arena!"
"That is quite the strange definition of civil, you guys aren't exactly being super friendly either." Zeke said still super calm.
"HEY we are no-" Nicole was cut off before she could finish.
"OH MY GOD! Can you guys shut up?" Laura shouted startling all four of the contestants.
Adison suddenly burst out of her door when she heard the yelling "What happened? Why is everybody screaming?"
"These guys won't be quiet, it's so annoying." Laura said angrily.
"Speak for yourself, you just shouted your lungs out." Zeke simply put.
"Yeah because you guys wouldn't shut up about your stupid animal arguement!" Laura said angrier
"I don't have time for this stupid arguement i'm going back into my room" Adison said as the camera went down to the third floor.
"Ok I got this joke for ya tell me if you've heard it before!" Blake said super excitedly to Christian.
"Please go away, you're super annoying." Christian responded with annoyance in his voice.
"What has four eyes but can not see?" Blake said, ignoring Christian's comment.
"A blind person with glasses?" Christian said, as he already knew the punchline.
"A blind person with- How did you know that one?" Blake said with his face blank.
"Because it's the most predictable punchline in the history of punchlines!" Christian noticed Wendy leaving her apartment "Hey Wendy! Take this annoying guy off my hands!"
"I don't wanna listen to his 'Jokes' either he told me, like, eighteen of them on the boat. I am not sitting through that again." Wendy quickly said as she went down the stairs so Blake couldn't follow her.
"Yeah kid, your jokes are awful." Christopher said as he walked up the stairs "Just give it a break for now."
"Fine! But i'll be back later with new and better material! You can count on it!" Blake said going into his apartment
"What's going on out here?" Lucifer said, as he left his apartment while almost hitting his head on the door frame.
"Just some idiot failing at basic comedy, I have better places to be so i'll be on my way." Christian said, still annoyed.
"Yeah we should probably go to the challenge. It's 2:45 and I don't wanna be late." Christopher said, while looking at his watch. "See ya there!"
"I'll be right behind you, I'm just making sure everyone leaves their apartment." As soon as Lucifer said that Xavier exited his room and yawned.
"Hey you're that Lucifer guy right? I'm Xavier it's nice to officially meet ya!" Xavier extended his hand for Lucifer.
"Oh thanks I was just about to leave, because the challenge starts soon, are you coming with me?" Lucifer said while watching the people above him walking down the stairs to go to the challenge.
"Oh it's 2:47 already?" Xavier glanced at his watch "Yeah I'll go with you we gotta hurry c'mon!"
Xavier rushed down the stairs with Lucifer following close behind
On the second floor Mia was talking to Cora regarding Jaxon "That Jaxon guy was kinda weird right? He just kinda chanted to himself when Gregory called on him."
"Obviously he's weird, but who would I be to talk? I'm quite the case myself," Piper pulled a gold coin out of the wall "I think we all have something that makes us weird."
"I guess, but he seemed way off compared to everyone else." Mia said with a hint of worry in her voice
"Kehehehe he might have the right strategy in mind," Una said appearing to the side of the duo "Making everyone think he's insane would be an excellent strategy, people would try to keep him around because they'd think he's an easy target kehehehe."
Bella walked into the conversation "Aw c'mon he's probably just freaked out being on a robot island."
"Kehehehe you mean a mechanical island?" Una slightly smirked while saying that
"Ehh potato potahto." Bella said while looking off the balcony.
Confessional Start
"Kehehehe she won't last long, she's clearly not bright enough." Una said while smiling
Confessional End
Cora walked up the stairs while limping her leg "Sorry can I go through? I gotta go to my apartment for something."
"Yeah sure, we were just talking about how weird Jaxon is." Mia responded
"I doubt he's that weird, we haven't even gotten to-" Jaxon appeared right behind the five before Cora could finish.
"Oh? You think I'm weird? Heh that's perfect," Jaxon said, smiling ear to ear "I swear I'm not normal in any way, shape, or form."
Confessional Start
"I HATE being normal, yet everything I do just ends up being average. It's a relief that somebody just thinks i'm weird instead of someone who's average at anything they try." Jaxon said with a small frown.
Confessional End
"I just need to grab something from my apartment. I'll be out of your hair soon enough…" Jaxon smiled and walked into his room.
"I take it back, he's definitely weird, well I gotta grab something from my apartment too so I should get going." Cora limped into her room after telling the others this.
"Kehehehe, we should probably get going to the challenge before we're late." Una said while looking at a clock on the wall.
"Yeah we wouldn't wanna be terminated!" Bella said while rushing down the stairs.
"It's eliminat- oh who cares?" Piper said following them close behind.
On the first floor Lance is talking to Violet "Sooo you're an actual Witch streamer? That's really cool!" Lance asked excitedly
"Yeah! It's a pretty fun gig to work with, one day I hope I'll become famous enough to get to meet my idol Teddy." Violet said with her eyes lighting up. [3]
"Yeah I'd love to meet any famous motorcyclist, I don't really have a specific one though." Lance replied, he was about to place his hand on the railing when suddenly Lana ran up and stopped him.
"Oh watch out! There's a loose piece of metal right there and you might cut yourself!" Lana said while removing the piece of metal from the railing.
"I'm sure I can handle a small cut on the hand but ok." Lance said, trying not to undermine Lana.
"Alright all four of you off this floor!" Trinity shouted while holding a spray cleaning bottle, "There are so many germs I'm going to take care of that very railing!"
"Ok that I'm really certain won't matter." Lance said, partially annoyed that Trinity was kicking them out of their own apartments.
"Ehh I'm sure it won't matter after all, we've got- wait five minutes to get to the challenge!?" Violet said while jumping up and running down the stairs.
"Hey wait! You'll hurt yourself from running too fast!" Lana ran after violet, but stopped to check where to go.
Joseph exited his apartment, after hearing all of the commotion "What's going on?" he asked, unaware of the time.
"It's time to get to the challenge." Lance said quickly as he turned to Trinity, "Are you coming with?" Lance asked.
"So I'm not eliminated? Yes I will go with you." She placed the bottle down, and followed Lance to the challenge.
"Hey! Wait for me!" Joseph said, while running after them.
Despite cutting it close all of the contestants made it to the stage for their first challenge.
"Jeez you guys didn't listen to me when I said be here by 5:00 sharp, well it doesn't matter because now it's time for your first challenge!" Gregory gave a huge grin
Confessional Start
"Seeing him grin like that tells me that this isn't going to be a fun challenge. Yare Yare Daze" Antonio said while sighing.
"What does he have planned?" Mia asked nervously "Nobody just grins like that."
Confessional End
"Today's two-part challenge is very simple, but since it's part one let's start with that shall we?" Gregory pulled out a remote which caused two podiums, facing each other, to appear on the stage "On your podium there's a button, once pressed it will give you a two pieces of paper, one with your name and your deepest secret on it, and the other with your opponents name and deepest secret on it. You earn points depending on what you say when you push the button on your podium"
"Wait WHAT?" Blake said, taken aback by the host's invasion of privacy.
"The game will go to five points, when you say your secret out loud you score a point for your team."
"And if we say our opponent's secret?" Christian asked without a drop of nervousness in his voice.
"Then your team loses a point, but you keep your secret safe. It's really simple so we'll start after we have today's teams, let's see what the randomizer has for us today…" Gregory pulled the randomizer's lever "Alright for today: Violet, Gabe, Blake, Zeke, Javier, Jaxon, Cora, Emily, Christian, Laura, Lucifer, Joseph, Mia, Al, and Xavier you will be 'The Random Ligers'!"
The Ligers gathered around together and made sure it was just the 15 of them.
"And the rest of you: Cody, Michael, Christopher, Antonio, Lance, Una, Adison, Lana, June, Trinity, Andrea, Bella, Nicole, Piper, and Wendy you will be 'The Mixed Griffons'!"
The remaining 15 gathered in their own area to prepare for the challenge.
"I assume you all know each other by now so let's just start the game!" Gregory said as he pulled the lever down to show that the first round would be between Jaxon and Trinity.
"Well it seems you two are up! Now go over to the podium with your team's label on it so we can start the match. I wonder how bad your secrets will be?" Gregory said while grinning.
Confessional Start
"Hmm this challenge will be a great way to manipulate people into eliminating tough opponents, all I gotta do is get my hands on those papers…" Christian smirked.
Confessional End
As soon as the two contestants got up to their podiums, two pieces of paper slid out of a slot on the side of the podium
"Now before you guys grab your papers does anyone have any questions?" Gregory asked, still keeping his smile.
"Yeah what if someone says something that isn't true?" Antonio asked, "They could just lie to earn points."
"If they do lie then this happens," Gregory pressed a button which caused everybody's guides to shock them violently. "The guides know your secrets so if you try lying you'll end up with a pretty painful shock."
"What the hell? I didn't sign up for this!" Laura shouted at the host.
"Too bad, so sad. You should've read the terms and conditions." Gregory shrugged "Now let's begin this match!"
The host pulled a lever which played an airhorn sound effect, immediately Jaxon pressed his button and shouted "Bwahaha, you think my koinophobia is a secret? I thought it was pretty obvious!"
Gregory's eyes turned a dark blue "Wow! I was not expecting the game to start off so boring, oh well next two." Gregory pulled the lever again which revealed the next two contestants would be Javier and Wendy.
"Alright you two get off the podium! Javier and Wendy you're up." Gregory pointed at the basketball player and botanist.
Wendy and Javier passed by Jaxon and Trinity, the latter of whom was shocked at how insane the former must've been to shout something so personal out so fast.
"We're only down one let's see if Wendy can do this." Christopher started, "The problem is, some people have secrets that aren't that embarrassing compared to others."
"Or you could just grow a pair and live with five seconds of humiliation that works too." Antonio put simply.
"Yeah… it's not like this is that important in the long game…" Michael softly said, while staring at the ground.
"Y-yeah it's not like these secrets can ruin our lives or anything, right?" Lance asked, sounding extremely nervous.
On the other side of the stage was The Ligers who were congratulating Jaxon on the point.
"Good job! You seem to be more useful than we gave you credit for!" Piper laughed.
"All we gotta do is get a few rounds like that again and we win!" Xavier said while smiling
"T-his c-an s-till b-e h-ard f-for s-ome p-eople, I m-ight n-not h-ave a-ny e-mbarrassing s-ecrets b-but t-hat d-oesn't c-over e-veryone h-ere!" Emily said, while looking at her teammates.
"That's true not all of us will be able to instantly win, in fact this point might be more of a curse than a blessing, due to the fact that we lost our easiest point." Al said while drawing a point counter into the ground. "If they repeatedly get people who do the same as Jaxon then we'll be in trouble."
"We also can't risk losing any points, or this point will have no effect on our chances of winning." Zeke said, without a hint of any lost calmness "We have to all agree that no matter how bad the secret is we'll say it."
"That's easier said than done, I know for a fact that I wouldn't want people to know my secrets and I doubt we'll all be able to follow this rule you've set up Zeke." Lucifer said, while watching the other team.
"Well we don't have any better ideas so we'll have to hope everyone here can go with it." Zeke replied
Gregory started the next round, and much to his surprise neither contestant was willing to say anything.
"Oh! Did I mention every minute you two don't say anything, both of your teams get shocked?" Gregory said while holding the shock button "You'd best get to talking!"
Confessional Start
"It's so unholy, so sacrilegious…" Javier said while curled into a ball.
"How? How did he even find out about that?" Wendy said with a look of anger on her face.
Confessional End
"I'm…." Javier started but couldn't bring himself to finish
Wendy gathered the courage needed to say her secret "M-my parents are divorced!"
"And that's a point for The Griffons! Javier you really should've just dealt with the embarrassment man, I thought you were supposed to be an unstoppable machine?" Gregory shouted.
"Good Job Wendy!" June shouted towards the botanist.
"Kehehehe yes we only need four more points to win" Una smirked. "I would assume the rest of you are as tough as the botanist girl kehehehe."
Gregory pulled the lever again, "Next up Mia and Lance!"
Mia ran up to the stage excitedly, while Lance gulped and slowly walked to the stage, everytime he took a step he grew more and more shaky.
"We have this one! Look how nervous Sir Lance-a-lot looks!" Blake said, laughing at his own joke.
"What if it's a facade?" Christian wondered "Something to catch Mia off guard, so he can quickly get a point."
"There's no way! I've seen enough horror movies to know when someone looks like that, they're feeling pure fear! He knows he can't say his secret!" Xavier said while grinning "We have this round in the bag, Woozah!" Xavier earned a few confused looks from his team.
Meanwhile at "The Mixed Griffons" Antonio took one look at Lance and knew he was going to lose, "We lost this round, Lance looks like he's planning on keeping his secret while Mia looks confident." Antonio sighed "He can't take the heat."
"It can't be that bad, right? What could someone be so scared of?" June asked with a look of concern.
"Who knows? All I know is that if I was up there we would've gotten another point!" Nicole bragged.
"Alright round three shall beg-" before Gregory could finish Lance shouted.
"Mia once broke her hand while working on a car!" The motorcyclist shouted while sweating heavily.
"See that's what I want! People who value their secrets more than being on the show!" Gregory smirked. "Congrats Lance you've made your team lose a point!"
"Lance what the hell?!" Adison shouted "You should've let her have the point! Why did you make us lose a point?"
"I- I'm sorry…" Lance said while looking ashamed.
"Sorry, doesn't give us our point back!" Nicole said angrily "You're next to useless!"
"Now- there's no reason to be hostile, everyone, let's just calm down!" Cody started "It's only one point! I'm sure we can get it back!"
"Fine but if we lose because of him, he's out of here!" Nicole said, still angry.
"Now hold on, what if it was something awful like a death in the family?" Andrea shyly said "I wouldn't want that to be public knowledge."
"Exactly everyone has a reason to do what they do, so we shouldn't be too mad at Lance for this!" Cody responded
"No we should totally be mad! Every point in this game counts and that Gesu yarō cost us one!" Antonio said, sounding angry.
"I'll have to agree with Antonio, letting the opponent gain a point would be more preferable than losing a point, if we run out of people to play then I assume Gregory will give the win to the team with the most points! It's just a poor strategy!" Christopher said, with anger in his eyes.
"... It was only one point…" Michael said silently.
"Aw it's no big deal we only need four points to win!" Bella said, not aware that they lost a point.
"Did- Did you listen to the rules?" Adison responded "When you lose a point, you lose a point!"
"Ohhhhh, eh I'm sure it's no big deal." Bella replied.
"We aren't getting anywhere by arguing, I agree that Lance messed up but there's no changing that now!" Piper said with her eyes full of determination, "We can do this!"
"Piper's right, but we have to agree not to lose a point again." June said, while biting her thumb "We can't take risks like that!"
"Jesus christ… It's only 0-1… we're not even close to losing so stop making a big deal out of this!" Michael mumbled.
Lance just cured up into a ball and stayed on the floor.
Over on the Liger's side Al crossed out the point that the Griffon's had
"And that makes it one less for them." Al said while putting the cap on his marker. "Not sure why Lance was willing to sabotage his own team."
"Obviously to keep his secret!" Xavier said confidently, "Also why are you drawing the points on the ground when it's only to five?"
"I wanna make sure that Gregory doesn't try to cheat and change the points! You can never be too ready for something like that… or at least I think, I don't know man I'm just trying to be useful" Al replied.
"I doubt the host will try to cheat, only an idiot wouldn't be able to keep track of the points!" Laura shouted.
"Alright! Next up is," Gregory pulled the lever, "Zeke and Piper!"
"This shouldn't be too hard." Zeke calmly stated, "I can't even think of a secret I have that's embarrassing."
"Yeah! You got this knock-off Dawn!" Blake gave Zeke a thumbs up.
Both contestants walked over to their podiums, and they both looked confident.
As soon as their papers came out of the slots they grabbed them and pressed the button at the same time.
"I won pets of halloween types!" They both shouted, their words mixing together.
"Ummm... Tie? I guess you both get a point? I didn't expect anyone to say their secret at the same time as someone else." Gregory scratched his head.
Piper ran back to her team, which started with Wendy giving her a high five "Good Job saying your secret so fast!"
"If only that stupid pet lover didn't say his at the same time, then we'd be a tie game right now." Nicole snarled.
"I… really don't understand why you dislike him so much." Andrea mumbled
"Because animals are pests and should be treated as pests!"
"Still, you should respect someone else's opinion." June said while Lance was still curled up in a ball next to her "Can someone help me calm down Lance? He seems to be really upset about something."
"Yeah I suppose I can help him out" Christopher walked over to Lance.
"Seriously he should get off that floor! You never know what germs people have on their shoes!"
"Or you could hurt yourself by getting a sliver of metal in your leg!" Lana added to Trinity's statement
Over on the Liger's side Al wrote down two points for the teams now setting the score to 2-1.
"Well that was… something…" Xavier started "I'm not really sure what happened."
"I didn't expect two people to say their secret at the same time" Christian smiled, "It was quite fun to watch."
"Yeah I was sur-" Violet was cut off by an airhorn
"Violet and Antonio it's your turn to go up for the round!"
"Wish me luck!" Violet said while running to the stand.
"Good Luck" Mia shouted to the streamer.
Both Antonio and Violet stepped up to the podiums and received their secrets but neither one of them was saying anything.
Confessional Start
"Oh god! This is pretty embarrassing to who I am…" Violet said while biting her nails.
"Ok it was one time!" Antonio said while reading his two-piece manga, as he flipped the page he ripped the corner "SON OF A-"
Confessional End
"Finally some tension! Who's gonna tell their secret first? Will it be Violet or Antonio?"
After a minute everybody, except for Gregory, received a minor shock that took them off guard
"Remember the shock I mentioned earlier? That was it!" Gregory's eyes turned Orange
"Ok I'll say it! I…." Violet was struggling to say the words "I only get 12 viewers per stream!"
"And that's a point for the Ligers! Antonio your's wasn't even that bad and you still decided to be a let-down.
Violet ran back to the Ligers, she was partially shaking.
"3 - 1, right? Can you write that down Al?" Violet asked
"Y-yeah of course, why do I feel so much pressure to keep track of score now?"
The camera panned over to the Griffons and a few of them were giving Antonio a glare.
"You're quite the hypocrite aren't you?" Wendy asked "You acted all high and mighty when Lance didn't reveal his secret but couldn't even reveal your own."
"Nani? Hypocrite? I didn't lose a point for the team."
"... no you just stood there and did nothing…" Michael glared at Antonio.
"As much as I would love to watch you fight, we're running out of time for the episode so… Gabe and Nicole you're up!"
Gabe looked at the ground and mumbled something to himself. Nicole, however, looked pretty confident.
As soon as the round started Gabe pulled out a pack of cigarettes, pressed the button and said, "I smoke even though I'm sixteen."
The Ligers waited for a ding but instead got a shock, one that took everyone off guard.
"Nice try lying your way through this Gabe, did you really think I wouldn't remember your secret?" Gregory asked.
"More-so of hope, but I guess you're just too much of an asshole to let this one slide." Gabe said while lighting one of his cigs and avoiding the button.
Nicole pressed her button immediately "Oh come one Greg, this isn't even a secret! I hate animals!"
Confessional Start:
Zeke pulled out a picture with Nicole's face on it and drew an "X" over it. "You're done for lady."
Confessional End:
Nicole ran back to the Griffons "I told you it would be no sweat." She gave them a look of pride.
"You might be right about the animal thing, There are tons of animals that can be very dangerous." Lana pipped in.
"Yeah, I don't agree with you about the animals, but I'm glad you scored a point" June said, trying to give a smile.
Over at the Ligers, Emily walked over to Gabe to try and ask him what's wrong. All she got in return was her hand being hit away.
"Don't you dare try to speak to me." Gabe growled, while glaring at his team.
"Um… Ok ok, It's uh…. 3 - 2 right now" Al said, trying to defuse the situation.
Christian ignored everything that was going on between the team and kept his eyes on the podiums.
"Alright now up is, Christian and Bella!"
Confessional Start
"That's all I needed" Christian smirked
Confessional End
"Huh, what do you mean I'm up?" Bella asked
"I mean go onto the stage!" Gregory's eyes turned blue
Both of the contestants went to the stage, but before the game could even start Christian pressed his button and said "I get overly angry when I mess up while playing the piano."
*Ding* it was another point for the Ligers.
"Huh, you know what? This game is pretty boring now that it's 2 - 4. So I'll compromise and say if the Griffons score a point next round it will count for three points. And the people going up will be..." Gregory pulled the lever "Joseph and Christopher!"
Joseph and Christopher both had a determined look in their eyes as they passed by their teammates, as soon as they got to the podiums, they both prepared to press the button.
"3… 2… 1… Go!" Gregory started the round.
"*BEEP* I dyed my hair for a cancer awareness charity!" Joseph said, while pressing the button repeatedly
"And the Liger's have won the first part of the challenge!" Gregory shouted.
"Great job Joseph, I didn't expect that final round to go so fast!" Lucifer shook his hand.
"Thanks but it's not over yet right? he said this challenge was two parts?"
"Yes I did and for this part of the challenge you'll be having a one-legged race with two of your teammates competing. Let's see who's going up…" Gregory gave the lever a hard pull "For the Ligers your racers will be Gabe and Blake while the Griffons get Antonio and Christopher!"
"Wait what? Gabriella and I are super small and not muscular like Weeb and Private Ryan over there! This isn't fair!"
"Oh yes it is! Since the ligers won you guys will only be tied together with a rope but since the Griffons lost you guys have to be tied with this…" A ball and chain popped up out of the ground in front of Christopher and Antonio.
"Err I guess that makes things a bit easier, alright Gabriella let's do this!"
"I swear if you call me that again, I'm gonna break one of the rules!" Gabe snarled at Blake.
"Alrighty guys come with me to our local field!" Gregory called to the teams.
"Yeah, just one second I gotta use the bathroom." Christian said while holding his legs together
"Fine but be back in seven minutes" Gregory and the contestants went out to the field.
"Oh it won't take long" Christian went to the stage and broke open the podiums, after that he grabbed the paper slips and stuffed them into his pockets.
The camera cut to the field where Gregory and all of the contestants had just arrived while Gregory was getting everyone ready for the race the camera cut over to the field, revealing a snare trap in the middle.
"Alright you guys should be ready by now!" Gregory said as he finished tying the four contestants into two teams. "Are you ready? Cause you're gonna go on the count of three"
"Alright we'll go on my signal 1 and 2, got it?" Christopher whispered to Antonio, who shook his head yes in response
"Just don't get in my way." Gabe whispered to Blake, who just smiled at him.
"Three… Two… One… GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Gregory shot off a blank gun.
Gabe and Blake started to struggle to move forward, due to their lack of teamwork and it allowed Antonio and Christopher to get a huge lead.
"Oh for the love of god Blake, one leg at a time you idiot!" Gabe said while pushing Blake.
Blake and Gabe continually struggled to go forward due to them moving at different times.
"They're struggling, we can do this!" Christopher said to Antonio, not even noticing the trap he avoided.
Unfortunately for Antonio he wasn't as lucky as Christopher and his foot landed right in the middle of the trap, he heard a noise at his foot and looked down in horror as he noticed what he was standing.
"Yuganda sekai ni dandan boku wa sukitōtte mienakunatte Mitsukenaide boku no koto o mitsumenaide" Antonio said to himself [4]
"Hmm why'd you-" Christopher looked down "Oh shit…"
Suddenly both Christopher and Antonio were lifted up into the air by the trap, the ball and chain attached to the team suddenly jerked downwards and hit Christopher right in the face, knocking the soldier out.
"Hmmm? Hey hey hey! Gabe! Look!" Blake pointed towards the hanging Antonio.
"Heh suckers!" Gabe shouted to Antonio "C'mon we don't have time to waste."
Gabe and Blake were finally able to move forward, albeit it was a struggle for both of them to cooperate to get to the finish line.
"C'mon c'mon c'mon" Antonio was desperately pulling at the rope to untie it. He had no luck and watched on as Gabe and Blake passed the finish line.
"We did it! Now please untie me from this kid!" Gabe shouted, though you could hear a bit of excitement in his voice.
The Ligers all ran over to Gabe and Blake and untied them both.
"Congratulations Ligers you've won the first challenge, how does it feel?"
"I thought we were dead when I saw Gabe and Blake fighting but they still got lucky and won! Wowziewooie!" Xavier shouted.
Una and her fellow Griffons walked over to the hanging Antonio where Una attempted to untied them.
"Kehehehe This knot was tied very well, I can only barely get it unstuck." Una said while untying the knot.
As soon as Una untied the rope, Antonio and Christopher fell straight to the ground.
"Hey Griffons!" Gregory threw a key at the Griffons "Use this to unlock Christopher and Antonio, then head to the 'bonfire' for your first elimination ceremony."
The Griffons looked at Antonio and Lance, both of whom had guilty looks on their faces.
The camera cut faded out and cut to the Griffons all sitting in front of an obviously fake fire.
"Well well well, it seems you guys just weren't good enough to win the first challenge here. Before you I have a plate of Marshmallows, I'm certain you're familiar with how this goes, but I bet you didn't expect this twist, I also had you vote for who you felt was the best player on your team in this challenge. Whoever was voted the best gets the Golden Marshmallow." Gregory held up a plate of marshmallows with one golden marshmallow on it.
"When I say your name and give you a marshmallow you're safe, but if I don't call your name you're out. Forever. I hope you keep this in mind."
The Griffons looked at each other, some more nervous than others.
"The person voted best on the team for today is… Piper!"
Gregory tossed the golden marshmallow to Piper who gleefully caught it.
"Now onto the safe people. Nicole, Mia, Trinity, Andrea, Bella, Una, Wendy, Michael, Cody, Adison, and Lana obviously you're all safe" Gregory quickly tossed the Marshmallows to each contestant.
"My my my… Two marshmallows left and Three people remain… Who will it be? I'll tell you who it's not, Christopher you're safe…"
"Thanks mom, I'm gonna sleep now" Christopher passed out on the ground, clearly still dazed from his injury earlier.
Lance and Antonio looked at eachother, both of them were nervous. Lance was burying his head into his arms and Antonio was praying to the anime gods.
"And the last marshmallow of the night goes to…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
...Lance."
Gregory tossed the marshmallow at Lances head who was in shock.
"T-thanks guys, I really messed up didn't I? I thought for sure you wouldn't want me around."
"Nani? Bakana! How did the guy who made us lose a point stay safe? Look how scrawny he is compared to me!" Antonio objected.
"Sorry anime boy, into the Hyperloop of Failure you go!" Gregory made a gesture towards a pipe sticking out of the ground.
"You'll regret this! Your future team's will be nothing without me! You all are Bakas!" Antonio said as he jumped into the hyperloop.
"And that's one down twenty-nine to go. Will the next teams perform better than the Griffons did today? Will Lance be voted out tomorrow? Find out next time on Total! Drama! Roulette!"
...
The camera cut to Lance who was walking back to his apartment only for Christian to stop him from going to the building.
"My my, you're something aren't you?" Christian said while pressing up against the wall
"Um, what do you want?"
"Well I want you to help me sabotage anyone of my liking."
"What? No! I'd never do that."
"Yeah… I thought you'd say that. It's just too bad for you that I know what your "dirty secret" is. I guess I'll just tell everyone now."
"Wait no! That's… not necessary, look I'll help you out but please, promise you'll never tell anyone!"
"Perfect…"
…
Gregory was waiting for all of the Griffons to leave the bonfire, as soon as everyone was out of sight he called over to the 'trees'.
"So how much money did you make today?"
A man walked out from the trees, but still stayed in the shadows so he was barely visible.
"Four thousand dollars."
"Seriously? I didn't expect the first episode to give you so much. What boosted the bets?"
"When I placed the net down, people started to bet like crazy on who was gonna step in it. A lot of people expected it to be Gabe and Blake, with some choosing Christopher."
"So that's two thousand for me I assume?"
"Hmmm? I said I earned four thousand dollars, we've already paid you the four thousand you're owed. We made eight thousand total."
"Better than I expected."
"Yeah, one guy even paid five hundred dollars to bet Zeke being first eliminated."
"Zeke? He did well in the challenge. Why him?"
"I'm not sure, I think they really just disliked Zeke. They kept going on about Titans or something." [5]
"Still, eight thousand is quite the amount to make in one day… I can't wait to see how big you make it by the end of this…"
"As do I my friend, as do I…"
