I'm sorry it took a month for me to update this story, work and paying for college has taken up a lot of my time. Thankfully I've gotten a lot of that taken care of so hopefully I can update more often. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the beginning of this new story. Cheers!
Chris McLean stood in front of the closed gates of a large manor in the mountains of Georgia.
"What is up Total Drama fans! This series had been going on for a long time now. This show has currently been going on for four years and this new season's marks a very special milestone for the Total Drama crew, it being our eighth season! Now we've had our previous season's take place at summer camps on lone islands, an abandoned film lot, a radioactive island, an artificial island, an island with artificial weather, and even around the world the whole world!" Chris began.
The camera panned out to get a full view of the front of the mansion.
"Now as with the previous season, we've brought in an entirely new cast of contestants to compete in this new season! And the first contestant should be arriving any minute now..."
Just as Chris said, a bus carrying the competing contestants pulled up. A young man stepped off the bus, we was of Japanese descent, and he looked similar to Asuka from the previous season. He had dark brown hair that was neatly combed into a buzz cut and he wore a blue shirt with grey jeans and green cam sneakers.
"Kenji, nice to meet you!" Chris greeted. Kenji gave the host a suspicious look before shaking Chris' hand.
"I saw last season McLean, my sister was able to go far in the game. But now that I know your tricks, I won't fall for them." Kenji said.
"Hehe, whatever you say Kenji." Chris chuckled.
A girl stepped off the bus after Kenji, she wore a white tunic with lace, flowered white tights and a blue flashy skirt and blue sneakers. She also had half of a silver necklace that was in the shape of a heart.
"What's up Emma, is your sister here too?" Chris asked. As if on cue, a girl who looked very similar to Emma stepped off of the bus. She wore nearly the exact same clothes as Emma, though they were a slight bit darker.
"You rang?" The girl asked.
"So you are here! Glad to have you, Felicity." Chris greeted.
"Glad to be here!" Felicity replied.
A boy stepped out of the bus after Felicity. He was tan and muscular, he had a pencil mustache and he wore a tight purple shirt that had a massive V-neck, tight black pants and designer shoes, he also had gold rimmed sunglasses.
"Santiago! What's up man? You like the mansion?" Chris asked.
"Not much." Santiago replied, he put on his sunglasses and looked at the sisters. "And I definitely like what I see."
Kenji knew exactly what Santiago was doing and glared at him. But Santiago was suddenly pushed forward by a girl with pale skin, red contacts, a fishnet t-shirt with a small black vest that bared her midriff and arms. She also wore a long black skirt that went down to her ankles, and long boots that went up to her knees. Additionally, she had several ear piercings, one of which connected to a piercing she had on her nose and another connected to a piercing she had on her lip.
"You can't just stand here all day." The girl hissed.
"Nice entrance Hester!" Chris praised.
"Whatever, can we just get this over with?" Hester replied.
"Sure. Brian, can you come out next?" Chris asked. A boy stepped out of the bus next. He wore a black hoodie over a dark green t-shirt, dark grey ripped jeans and blue sneakers along with black framed sunglasses.
"What's up guys and girls?" Brian greeted, standing with the others.
"It's nice to meet you Brian." Kenji greeted shaking Brian's hand, Felicity waved at him, giving Brian a friendly smile. Emma on the other hand was a bit more quiet.
"Next up is Cherry Ash!" Chris announced. A girl stepped off of the bus this time. She was wearing a cropped and ruffled tank shirt, a blue and green skater skirt and blue sneakers. Her blonde hair that was done in pigtails and ocean blue eyes seemed to give off an innocent demeanor.
"Hi!" She greeted cheerfully, waving at the arrivals. Her eyes immediately took notice of Santiago, who she then began to converse with.
Another girl followed Cherry out of the bus, she looked almost exactly like Asuka, though she didn't wear makeup, unlike Asuka. She also seemed to have a similar facial structure to Asuka. She wore a light orange Furisode and Jean shorts that went down to her kneecaps. She also wore a floral hairclip and traditional wooden sandals.
'So, Sister, you've finally arrived." Kenji said.
"It seems so, Brother." The girl replied.
"Glad to have you here. Ladies and Gents, this is Toshiko, Kenji and Asuka's sister." Chris explained.
Nice to meet you Toshiko." Felicity greeted, Emma even waved to her as well.
"Nice to meet you! Do you mind if I call you T?" Cherry greeted, hugging Toshiko, surprising the Japanese girl.
"It's nice to meet you all." Toshiko returned the greeting, bowing politely. "And you may call me whatever nickname you like. Though I do hope you refrain from calling me an insulting name."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's great. Anyway, here's our next contestant for the season. Everyone give a warm welcome to Shawn!" Chris announced.
"Wait? Shawn?! As in Runner Up of Pahkitew Island, Shawn?" Kenji asked.
"Nope! It's not him. But I will say that it was purely coincidence that the two of them share the same name. In fact, I honestly forgot about that Shawn." Chris admitted.
Everyone was interrupted by Shawn, who had neatly combed brown hair and icy blue eyes. He was wearing a black t-shirt underneath a black sleeveless vest, black dress pants, dress socks and dress shoes. The only clothing on him that wasn't black was grey suspenders.
"Dude, what's with all the black clothes?" Santiago asked. Shawn just shrugged with a grin. He didn't seem to mind at all.
"May I exit now?" A female voice asked.
"Feel free Nanette. You're next up anyway." Chris answered. The girl, Nanette, stepped off of the bus. She was a petite girl that had curly blond hair, light skin, and green eyes. She wore a black beret, a Navy blue blouse with a royal purple skirt, black leggings and navy blue designer shoes.
"Are these the ladies and gentlemen I will be competing against? Well I must say that it is a pleasure to meet you, now while some of you do appear to be a bit uncouth, I do hope we will get along. My name is Nanette, Nanette Manoir." Nanette greeted, doing a polite curtsy and smiling at the teens.
"Yup, she's a prep." Hester sighed quietly.
A boy followed Nanette out of the bus, he wore an unzipped tan trench coat that showed a black dress coat with a red tie, black dress pants, dress shoes and gloves, and he even wore a fedora.
"Here he is, the big man, Mr. Benjamin Vescovi!" Chris greeted. Ben shook Chris' hand and joined the others. He stood farther away from them and remained silent, despite some of the others trying to talk to him.
Meanwhile, the others seemed to be getting along a bit. The sisters were having a casual conversation with Kenji, Toshiko, Nanette and Shawn. Nanette seemed to be praising Toshiko's traditional clothing. Santiago was flexing for Hester and Cherry, while the latter seemed to be impressed, the former was texting on her phone, not even caring.
"Ok people, settle down!" Chris announced. "Here's our next contestant, meet Clara!"
A tan girl came out. Her hair was blonde and went down to her shoulder. Her eyes were sky blue and she was skinny, yet also curvy. She had a blue headband, white shirt and blue skirt with pink leggings, and black knee high boots.
"Hi everyone! It's nice to meet you!" Clara greeted, she went to go join the others. Nanette was quick to notice her outfit. Clara seemed to notice Nanette's inteuige.
"What?!" Clara asked.
"Your clothes. If I had to describe your clothes, I'd say it makes you look like..." Nanette began, Clara looked suspicious, wary of what Nanette was going to say next.
"Creme brulee." Nanette finished.
"What?" Clara asked, she and some of the others were clearly confused.
"You look like creme brulee with blueberries and some strawberry halves with some whipped cream. A very classy meal if I do say so myself, it's one of my favorites! ... Oh, I apologize if I confused you all."
"O...kay? Moving on. Here's our next contestant; Adrian!"
A young man wearing a Navy blue buttoned shirt, black dress pants, black converses and a trench coat stepped off of the bus. His eyes were calm, yet determined.
"Hi Adrian! Nice to meet you dude!" Shawn greeted! Adrian raised his hand to return the greeting, but he didn't smirk or smile...
"Alright, next up is... Jason! Jason, can you come join us please?" Chris asked. Another boy stepped out, he wore a plain grey t-shirt under a black leather jacket with a skull in the back covered in flames with the words 'The Lost and Damned' on it., tattered grey jeans and brown sneakers. His hair was a shaved light grey and his eyes were brown. He was also a little bit pale and he had a few scars on his face.
"What's up?" Jason asked.
Hester looked up from her phone when he stepped off the bus, she raised her eyebrow for a moment and then went back to her phone.
A girl stepped out of the bus next. She wore old, ratty jeans, a faded and oversized blue hood with the Captain America logo on it, and black/white sneakers with neon orange laces. She also wore glasses.
"This is Charlotte." Chris announced.
"She looks like a... pomme de terre..." Nanette said sourly. "How very uncouth..."
Most of the others didn't seem too bothered by Charlotte's appearance. Though there were a few raised eyebrows at Nanette's comment.
"Anyway, moving on, we have our next contestant. Please step off of the bus!" Chris said. A boy hopped off of the bus. Kenji and Toshiko looked shocked to see the boy. He looked very similar to Kenji, though he had a scar on his right cheek. His hair was black and rather messy, he wore a grey t-shirt with a red and black dragon on it, black jeans and purple and black sneakers. He was holding a rather large and lumpy duffle bag with him
"This is Kazuki." Chris said.
"So this is my conpetition." Kazuki said, getting a good look at everyone. "This will prove to be... interesting. But for now I'd say it's good to meet you all. My name is Kazuki, you may address me as such or you can simply call me Kaz." Kazuki explained, he sounded stern and his face was cold and unflinching, which caught Ben's attention. He went to go join his siblings.
"Ah, Kenji, and Toshiko too. It's good to see you two." Kaz said with a smirk.
"Y-you actually sent in an application?!" Kenji said, his new friends noticed his voice cracking a bit. Even Toshiko, who was calm before this was shivering a bit.
"Why Kazuki? Why did you come onto this show?" She asked.
"I came to do what Asuka could not; win. I know it won't be easy, especially when I am competing against you two. But I know that my time here will prove to be... exhilirating!" Kaz answered. Hester looked away from her phone when she thought she saw some rustling coming from Kazuki's bag, Charlotte and Emma seemed to notice this as well.
"Ok everyone, here's our next contestant. Meet Josh!"
Josh stepped off of the bus, he wore a white shirt with a rose on it that was covered by a black leather jacket, a necklace of the Celtics Cross, black sweatpants with red stripes, and black sandals. His long black hair blew by with a small gust of wind.
"Hey guys and girls, guess we're gonna be living the good life for the next few weeks." Josh joked. He went to join some of the others, almost immediately hitting it off with some of the more extroverted contestants. He even made a joke that made Adrian chuckle a little bit.
A girl stepped off of the bus, she wore a white wife beater underneath an unzipped leather jacket with black pants and black combat boots. Her skin was rather pale, her eyes were hazel and her hair was black and a bit messy. She looked a bit bored, as if she didn't really want to be there.
"Hey!" Chris called out, getting everyone to be quiet. "Everyone, this is Chelsea. Chelsea, meet your competition."
Chelsea glanced at everyone without saying a word, she sat away from everyone and began to read a book. Cherry went to go talk to her but Chelsea only gave her a look that seemed to say ' leave me alone'.
"Come on Chris, aren't you going to introduce the next winner of Total Drama?" A boy said as he hopped off of the bus.
The boy wore a dark blue t-shirt with a yellow diagonal line that went from his right shoulder to his left hip, dark green jeans and black/white sneakers. He also had a watch on his left hand and a silver necklace that was connected to a dark blue carving of the number 24.
"Well David, you'd have to beat everyone else to be the winner. But sure, I'll introduce you. Everyone, this is David." Chris replied. David was still getting a few glares from his introductory statement. David went to join the others, purposefully stepping on Chris' foot as he went.
"Gah! ...Jerk..." Chris hissed.
"Um... are you okay?" A girl asked.
The girl wore a white buttoned down shirt that was tucked into a pair of jean shorts, shear black floral patterned tights, a light blue cardigan and light blue sneakers. She was lanky and a bit tall but her height was mostly consisting of her legs and she was also rather boney. Her hair was dyed blue, though you could still see her natural brown hair coming from her roots. Her skin was pale and she had freckles on her nose and shoulders.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Oh yeah, guys and girls, this is Andromita, but you can just call her And I for short." Chris said. And I waved to the others, getting some waves back. As she went to go talk to the others, she tripped and accidentally stepped on the same foot David stepped on earlier.
"Oops! Oh my gosh, I'm sorry!" Andi apologized.
"No. No. It's cool, just go join the others." Chris said, taking deep breaths. A few of the teens laughed at his reaction. "Next contestant please..."
The next contestant was a teenage boy that wore a red hoodie with a gold crescent with the point facing downwards on the center. He also had a baseball cap that was the same color and had the same symbol. Aside from that, he wore dark blue track pants and red running shoes.
"Mr. Andrew Quill, good to have you here!" Chris greeted.
"Good to be here." Andrew returned the greeting, he shook Chris's hand. Andrew himself seemed to have a noticeable pride in his voice.
"And last but certainly not least, we have our last contestant. Edward, please come join us." Chris said. The last contestant stepped off the bus, allowing it to drive off immediately afterwards.
Edward himself was pale and he had black, slicked back hair. He was thin, but with an athletic build. He wore a green military jacket with synthetic black sleeves, the jacket was unzipped, revealing a black shirt with a playing card on it, dark blue jeans and black converses. He also had two necklaces, one was an aluminum necklace with a whistle attached to it and the other was a Shamrock necklace.
Edward took a good look at the others, some gave him friendly smiles, others gave him a nonchalant look or a competitive glare, or they paid no attention to him.
"How you doin' Eddie?" Chris said, patting Edward's back.
"Fine." Edward responded, not taking his eyes off of the others.
"Well, that's everyone! Now let's-" Chris began before an unknown voice interrupted him.
"Hey, can we get out now?"
The voice came from Kazuki's bag, causing him to worry. Nanette look absolutely shocked.
"That voice... it couldn't be..." She said.
Nanette opened the bag, revealing two girls. One was African American and the other was Caucasian.
"January?! Karlene?! What are you two doing here?!" Nanette exclaimed.
January was the African American girl, she wore a purple blouse and navy blue designer jeans with royal purple shoes, her hair and eyes were chocolate brown. Her hair was put up in a bun that she was currently fixing from the time she spent in the bag.
"We couldn't bear to see you on Total Drama without us, it looked like fun!" January admitted.
"And Daddy wouldn't let me use his camera to make an audition, so we asked Kazuki to help us get in." Karlene added.
Karlene wore a green blouse with khaki pants that reached her ankles. She had emerald designer shoes and her hair was light brown and curled into neat waves.
"You could have spoken to me about this first!" Nanette replied. "My dad could have helped you. Besides what would... Chris... think..."
Her words trailed off, she and everyone turned to Chris, who was absolutely stunned. It took a few moments for him to regain his composure. Chris sighed before announcing what he would do.
"Alright. We'll just continue as normal. Chef and I will call the network and we'll see what happens from there. For now though, let's head inside the manor, I'll show you around."
The twenty-four teens followed Chris inside the mansion, the sky was already turning orange because of the setting sun.
From the basement of the manor, Chef and an intern went to check out the basement. They couldn't take too many steps before they saw what looked like a white face staring back at them. As soon as they saw it however, the the face immediately vanished into the darkness. Chef was about to follow him when he was stopped by his walkie-talkie going off.
"Chef, I need you in the office, we have a bit of a problem."
Again, I'd like to apologize for how late this chapter was to come out. But I'd like to know what you all think.
Also, should January and Karlene be allowed to stay and compete on the show? Or would you rather not have them be there?
Stay tuned for the next chapter.
