Author's Notes: Welcome to my very first fanfiction on this site. I wanted to make this redux version of Action and try to fix the problems with this season. I also added a few more characters to make it more interesting. But for this to work, I need to go back to the Total Drama Drama Drama Drama Island Special. For my fanfiction to work, I need to make sure that the characters who never made the cut be eligible to compete in this season.
Disclaimer: I do not own Total Drama, all rights go to Camp TV Productions Inc. and their respective owners. Now without further ado, let's begin.
Prologue:
It has been many hours since Chris McClean announced the suitcase hunt. Just previously Owen choose a chance to win a million dollars and gambled his 100k in order to get bigger earnings. Each contestant broke into pairs or groups to look for the money. Most of the contestants have already found the briefcase and attempted to claim the prize money. But most of the time it gets lost or stolen by another group.
Right now the briefcase is being held hostage by Courtney who is in a hot air balloon with the team of Cody, Owen, DJ, and Tyler hanging for near death. Why you may ask, well there happens to be a bear on a rope attempting to maul them. Out all of them, Cody was the most scared because after being mauled by a bear earlier in the season, getting sent back to the infirmary was the last thing on his mind. Owen is screaming his lungs out for dear life because of his anxiety while DJ and Tyler are in a worse predicament since the bear was near their rears.
"We're going to die, save us Courtney." Owen screamed as he was dangling. "No way, I'm almost close to winning a million." Courtney said as she was trying to grab the briefcase. "Girl, you cannot be that cold." DJ said in his serious voice. "How are you guys not surprised, she's been like this since day 1." Tyler said as he was avoiding getting his butt chewed. "Courtney, if you save us will split the money with you." Cody said trying to avoid conflict. "What, no way are we splitting the money with miss J.I.T.(Jerk In Training)" Tyler yelled. He apparently hasn't gotten over his elimination when they chose to keep her instead of him on the team. Courtney now offended but what she is hearing, throws any chance of saving all 4 of them from falling by increasing the helium and positioning the balloon towards the trees of Wawanakwa. All of them start feel the spikes of the trees and get hurt during the process.
Suddenly the bear got closer and was wanting a buffet with all four of his victims. "AHHHHHH, COURTNEY SAVE US." Cody screamed with his high pitched voice. Followed by a chorus of screams from Owen and Tyler. DJ, the man who is already had enough of this situation climbs the hot air balloon with brute strength and determination. It is obvious that he doesn't want it to end this way after endearing Chris's bullshit throughout the season. He climbs the rope without acknowledging the pain and manages to read the top. Courtney sees this and tries to switch to Plan B. Her plan is having a hostage and making sure she gets the money no matter what. The person she managed to grab was Cody since he was the closest one in the hot air balloon. "All right if you don't hand me the prize money, I will personally throw the "Codemeister" off this hot air balloon. "Girl have you lost your mind, I thought you were scary but now you're taking this a bit too far." DJ said as he attempted to save Cody from her clutches. "I don't care, this show has made a mockery out of me. When I was unfairly kicked off, I lost my chance of winning the money. And there is no way I'm letting a chance like this get away from me." said Courtney as she tightly kept her firm grip on Cody's neck. "Well no offense Courtney but you would've been voted off in another episode, no one liked you that much." Owen said in an honest way. This offended Courtney and made her even more angrier.
But the worst part came when the bear that was on the rope reached the top of the hot air balloon. This caused them to freak out and scream as it approached them. Cody managed to get his grip and jump off the with his teammates. Tyler accidentally dropped the briefcase and let Courtney grab it by mistake. Courtney like the idiot she is, forgets that the bear was still on the hot air balloon and was trying to kill her. She coward and jumped off the hot air balloon. All five of them managed to land on a diving board. Courtney now still terrified, realizes that this is the same area where the green jelly hot tub is located. Cody and Tyler attempted to grab the case but she held it up high so she could not lose it.
Meanwhile most of the contestants are preoccupied with something. Gwen, Trent and Leshawna are still driving the ATV they stole from Chef. Lindsay, Beth, and Ezekiel were walking toward the communal bathrooms. and Harold and Heather are walking towards the campus. Leshawna sees this and decided to get revenge on Heather for what she did to everyone. Gwen and Trent decided to jump because they knew this would get ugly.
"Heather, don't think you haven't learned your lesson yet." Leshawna said as she proceeded to drive the ATV towards her arch enemy. Heather and Harold see this and run towards the dock. Heather screams and manages to jump off the dock with Harold. Followed by Leshawna crashing the ATV in the lake of Wawanakwa. "Woohoo, that's how I roll." Leshawna said as she reached the surface. "THAT WAS AWESOME." Harold said as he turned towards Heather. "Are you kidding me, we almost died right there." Heather said not wanting to continue this hell any further.
Just then Duncan came to the campus and manages to encounter the moose that was chasing Geoff and Bridgette earlier. "Oh Crap, just what I needed after getting ditched." Duncan says as he runs to the mess hall to get away from the moose. Luckily for him he grabbed a mouse head that was hanging from the mess hall and charged towards the moose. "Yeahhhhh, who's the tough guy now." Duncan mocked.
After a while, Geoff and Bridgette decided to climb up the ladder and get the prize money from the diving board. Followed by a returning Leshawna who just came out of the water. "Ain't no one getting that money besides me." Leshawna says as she climbs the ladder. It turns into a tug of war with Courtney preventing them from getting the briefcase. Leshawna grasps the prize and manages to slip out of her hands. This causes the briefcase to roll towards the communal bathrooms.
Lindsay, Beth and Ezekiel are walking and see the briefcase on the spot. "There it is, the one million dollars" Beth said pointing at the prize money. "Hooray we did it" Lindsay said as she jumped up and down with excitement. But suddenly a handsome devil jumps out of an airplane that looked like it belonged to the producers of the show. That man happens to be Justin and he parachuted towards Lindsay. The parachute lands on Beth and Ezekiel which made it better for him to manipulate her. "Lindsay, give me the money, you know it would go to a better cause." he says as he smiles at her. Lindsay now mesmerized with Justin's hotness, forgets that the money is important.
Suddenly that backfired because Team E-scope locates their enemy. "Not so fast pretty boy. you think you're getting away that easily." Izzy says as she makes a grand entrance. This shocks Justin but didn't look above him. Eva and Noah were practically on the roof and armed with fish buckets. "Fire in the hole" Izzy directed Team E-scope as they followed orders. The rotten fish gets thrown into Justin and starts to have an emotional breakdown. "Ah my hair, my beautiful hair." Justin screamed as he dropped the briefcase. Izzy took this opportunity to steal the money and bolted towards the dock. But she tripped and the briefcase once again escapes. Eva and Noah managed to get off the roof while Justin was blinded and gets caught in the rope from the hot air balloon.
As soon as that happens, the diving board from the green jelly hot tub breaks and causes the contestants to fall. DJ, Cody, Owen, and Tyler pushed since they were still tied to that rope earlier in the challenge. This also causes Courtney, Bridgette, Leshawna, and Geoff to get caught in the Mix followed by Duncan, Justin, Beth, Eva and Lindsay. The hot air balloon proceeds to slide towards the dock and gets Gwen, Trent, and Izzy caught into it. Owen sees what's coming and warns everyone about the hazard. All of them get dumped into the lake of Camp Wawanakwa. As soon as everyone recovered from painful incident, they see that the briefcase is still floating. "Guys the briefcase, it's still there." Owen said but his hopes were gone because the prize money got swallowed up by an alligator. Everyone who was floating saw this and proceeded to groan and get frustrated because all their time was wasted for nothing.
Chris walks down the dock and looks ashamed at his victims. "Campers, what happened." he said. "WHAT HAPPENED, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED. ALL OUR HARD WORK WAS WASTED FOR NOTHING AND I MADE A FOOL OUT MYSELF ON NATIONAL TV." Courtney yelled as she vent out her frustration. "Actually Courtney, It's International TV. Total Drama is seen all over the globe." Harold said but was caught off when Courtney proceeded to choke him. Both Geoff and Bridgette were pulling her off the poor guy. "Chill Princess, he may be a dork but you shouldn't try to kill him" Duncan said as he was getting sick of her antics. After getting what she did to him, it's obvious that he shouldn't let his guard down around her.
So what happens now, what's going to happen now that the money is gone" Gwen said as she probably wants to go home after this challenge. "Oh about that you see since nobody actually completed the objective, it turns out that everyone still has a chance to get the prize money." Chris said excitedly as he heard a chorus of cheers from the contestants who were still soaked. "In Season 2!" Chris said as he pulled out a contract. "Say want now" Leshawna said.

Confessional End
"So after messing with our heads for the whole summer, you expect us to do it all over again." Heather said wanting to strangle him. "Yay were staying for another season." Lindsay said estaticly. "Well my brethren, it looks like we get it another chance, come here." Owen says as he grabs Tyler, Cody and DJ and proceeds to kiss them on the cheek. Everyone just looks at him with disgust even Chris. "What" Owen said but Tyler cut him off with "I like girls". "Wait what about the rest of us, don't we get another chance" Noah as he, Ezekiel, and Katie and Sadie walk towards the dock.
"Sorry dude, guess you and the others are sitting out." Chris said with no care whatsoever. This caused him to roll his eyes and get annoyed. "Also, I believe that I certain camper stole one of my hot air balloons" Chris said in an annoyed voice. He glared at Courtney who sunk in the lake because she was given glares from certain contestants even her own boyfriend. "He he, no hard feelings right guys" Courtney said as she started to feel regret after what she did. It really isn't her day when comes to a popularity contest.

Confessional End
What will happen in the next of Total Drama. Will everyone be able to withstand this handsome face. Does Owen and Gwen have a chance of making it far. And will Courtney stop digging her own grave. "I heard that" Courtney screamed at Chris. Find out next time on TOTAL DRAMA ACTION Chris announced as he pulled out an action filter.
Author's Notes: I decided to pick Eva, Cody, and Tyler for this redux version of action. The reason I picked them is because I feel they have the most potential this season and would make characters like Beth and Justin not look out of place. Just in case if I don't continue this fic, here are some plans for these characters.
Eva would serve as a fierce competitor and will make the show a bit interesting. I plan on making her a secondary antagonist and have her in a feud with Leshawna to give her a role on the show. But she would put her differences aside and tone down her temper. After all, she must cooperate to stay in the game longer.
Cody will benefit the most out of this since he isn't tied to Sierra and wouldn't be held down like he was in the Amazon's. I plan on making him prevent the Gwent breakup and be neutral player in the Screaming Gaffers. I like the idea of having a Cody/Heather friendship where Cody manages to pull her out of her cold shell. He will also have a strong friendship with Harold because I think they have a destined bond when they were in the Drama Brothers. Also might have a Cody/Duncan friendship/rivalry.
Tyler will be able to stand out since he was the contestant that wasn't given the spotlight for World Tour. I feel that he was done dirty and didn't get a chance to shine. For a storyline, I'd have him be in an alliance with Justin, Beth, and Lindsay since this will give him a role. I also plan on giving him an arc where eventually stops getting injured. Thought it would be a chance for him to prove that he isn't a liability.
I was considering adding Courtney in the halfway point of the season but I decided to have her compete in the beginning. I for one didn't enjoy her character change and thought it ruined the second half of Action. This time however she will lay low and try not use her antics because she already exposed herself and doesn't want to get kicked off. Basically she will revert back to her season 1 self until the merge.
This is the direction I'm going with and I hope you guys stay tuned for a future chapter. If this doesn't work out then someone can use the idea down the line. And I hope you guys have wonderful day.
