Hello! I'm Isanity, a very huge fan of Total Drama! I've written some Total Drama stories in the past, but have never been able to finish them and ended up deleting them. But now, it'll be different. I'm gonna be starting fresh as a writer. I think I'm gonna be having a lot of fun with this! I've improved on my writing and all that as well! Without further ado, let's get on with it!
Total Drama Return of Wawanakwa
Episode 1: We Return Once Again!
"Welcome back, Total Drama fans!" Chris shouted, standing on a dock connected to a familiar looking island. "Does this place seem familiar to you? Well, that is because we are back at where this whole journey started! Camp Wawanakwa!" Flashbacks were shown of the island sinking at the TDAS finale. "As you may recall from 2 seasons ago, someone… who I still prefer to remain nameless, accidentally destroyed the whole island." The camera cut to another flashback. This time of Pahkitew Island events. "Forcing us to host the next season on a completely different island! Which… was man-made, and went completely haywire." He laughed sheepishly.
The camera cut back to Chris. "And now, after some long hard work, we're back! Wawanakwa's as good as new! Aside from some things we couldn't recover. Like the cabins and the spa hotel." He chuckled. "On top of that, we've brought back 20 competitors from every season to battle it out once again for the grand prize!" As Chris spoke, Chef walked onto the dock, holding a briefcase. He opened it, revealing a load of cash inside. "One! Million! Dollars!" Chef closed the briefcase and held it to his side. Chris grinned. "Ah, it's great to be back! We'll know you'll like this season! So buckle up! This is Total! Drama! Return of Wawanakwa!"

(The theme song plays. Maybe I'll come up with one in the future. For now, use your imagination)
—
After the theme song, the camera cut back to Chris on the dock.
"We're back! It's time to reveal the returning contestants! And here they come now!" He says, as a giant boat approaches the dock. Slowly, a platform comes out of the boat and onto the dock, allowing the contestants to walk onto the dock safely.
"From our first ever cast, please welcome back…" As he spoke, 3 contestants stepped off the boat and onto the dock. "Gwen, Duncan, and Courtney!"
Gwen immediately glared at Chris as soon as she saw him. "Ugh, I said I didn't wanna come back!"
"True! But the audience wanted you back!" Chris pointed finger guns at her. "Be happy you have fans rooting for you!"
Duncan chuckled. "Aw yeah. Where it all started. This'll be a piece of cake, just like last time."
"Yeah, just like old times." Courtney smiled, but it faded once she received a glare from Gwen. Who then turned her head and walked away to the other end of the dock. Courtney sighed as she and Duncan followed. However, Duncan was stopped by Chris.
"Listen here, dude." He looked at him with a serious expression. "Destroy my stuff again, and back to jail time for you. You hear me?"
Duncan shrugged. "Jail wasn't so bad."
"Oh really?" Chris smirked. "Cause last time I heard, you were cellmates with one of the toughest prisoners."
His eyes widened a bit, then he sheepishly scratched the back of his head. "Oh yeah… forgot about that part."
Gwen couldn't help but start laughing a little bit. Courtney eventually did too, but Gwen took notice of this and immediately stopped. Courtney simply looked down. Being on good terms with Gwen again won't be too easy it seems. Duncan went over and stood between the 2 girls, smiling at them. Though his smile faded once he realized neither of them were eye contact with him.
"Ooh, tension already. I like it." said the next person who walked off the boat.
"Heather!" Chris grinned. "Welcome back! Did you recover from being robbed of a million dollars? You know, again?"
Heather glared at him. "Ugh! Shut it, you." She was already getting annoyed by Chris's presence.
He chuckled. "Yup. She's back! Followed by her rival, Alejandro!"
She gasped as she looked behind her to see Alejandro walk off the boat. "My dear Heather, it is certainly a pleasure to be seeing you once again."
"You shut it too." Heather groaned. "I came back for the million this time."
Alejandro raised an eyebrow, then smirked. "As did I. I wish you the best of luck, señorita." He walked past her to the other end of the dock. Heather took a moment to process that before shaking her head and following him.
"And the final contestant from the original cast," Chris started. "Season 1 finalist, Owen!"
As said, Owen jumped off the boat and onto the dock. "Woohoo! Yes! Oh yeah it's great to be back!" He shouted with energy. "I missed this place! Woo!"
"Yo! Owen!" Chris high fived him. "Great to have you back man! Wish you coulda been on All Stars."
"Oh, yeah. Why wasn't I on that season?" Owen asked curiously.
Chris was silent for a moment, as he didn't know how to answer that. "That… isn't important. Just go see your friends again."
"Oh, okay!" Owen ran to the other end of the dock. "Hey everyone! It's great to see you all again!" He immediately hugged Gwen and Duncan tightly, making them feel crushed a bit.
Chris chuckled lightly as a second boat approached the dock. "And now for our Revenge of the Island cast!" 2 people walked off the boat and onto the dock as he was talking. "The power couple and All Star finalists, Mike and Zoey!"
The couple smiled and waved at everyone. "Hey! It's great to see everyone again!" Zoey said.
"I see you both are in a good mood." Chris grins. "Can't wait to ruin it…" He muttered under his breath.
Mike then frowned. "Sucks Cam couldn't make it though. Really wish he did."
"It's fine, Mike." Zoey put a hand on his shoulder. "At least he's safe at his home. And we'll be fine."
Mike looked at her for a moment, and then smiled. "Yeah, you're right Zoey." The couple walked to the other end of the dock.
"What a happy couple." Chris chuckled. "Next up! Revenge of the Island finalist, Lightning! And dirt farmer and challenge thrower, Scott!"
"Sha-yeah!" Lightning had jumped off the boat, doing a front flip onto the dock and landing perfectly on his feet. "Lightning is back to win!"
"Oh brother…" Scott muttered as he followed Lightning onto the dock. He didn't exactly like the guy all that much due to how arrogant and annoying he was. He then looked at the other end of the dock and saw Courtney. He smirked and walked over to her. "Hey Courtney."
"Huh?" Courtney turned her head to look at him. "Oh! Scott, uh… nice to see you again."
"Nice to see you again as well, beauty." He winked at her, which she noticed and chuckled. Duncan looked at them and raised an eyebrow.
"One of Lightning's biggest rivals, Jo!" Chris announced. Jo had walked onto the dock and just walked past Chris, not saying anything to him.
She looked at the cast and noticed Lightning. "Oh brother. Him again."
"Heh, that's what I said." Scott smirked, knowing he wasn't the only one who thought Lightning was annoying.
"Lightning has no idea what you 2 are talking about!" Lightning says before he started kissing his muscular arms.
"Bleh." Jo rolled her eyes. "At least that little maggot isn't here to sabotage me again."
"You mean Cameron?" Scott groaned. "Yeah, that guy was a pain. He used me as shark bait for an engine!"
"Hey! Don't say mean things about Cameron!" Zoey defended. "He was only trying to be a hero, Scott!"
"Yeah right!"
"Okay, enough!" Chris shouted. "No arguing until introductions are over!"
"You say that, yet your aura clearly says that you're enjoying the rivalry between them." A girl's voice said.
Chris flinched, then turned around. "And our final Revenge of the Island contestant… Dawn! Back from being framed for stealing by Scott!" Dawn glared at Scott, who grinned in return. She shrugged it off and walked over to stand by Mike and Zoey.
"Hey Dawn! It's been a while!" Zoey smiled. "How's it been?"
"I've been fine." She answered. "Your aura says that you've been great, especially with Mike. And just Mike now."
Mike giggled. "Yep! Everything's been perfect!"
"Glad you all are getting along!" Chris grinned. "Because now you're going to meet 8 Pahkitew players! Players you all have never played with before!" As he said that, a third and final boat approached the dock.
"Psh, please." Heather rolled her eyes. "They'll all probably be eliminated early. One by one."
3 players walked off the boat and onto the dock. "Here are our first 3 competitors! Shawn, Jasmine, and Sky!"
"Wow…" Sky stared at the island. "I've always wanted to be here!"
"I didn't!" Shawn yelled. "This place looks like it would have more zombies than the other island!" Jasmine just giggled at Shawn.
"Yup. They're back." Chris chuckled. "The power couple, and Sky. Who used someone in the finale."
Sky's eyes widened. "What? I didn't-" She stopped herself. "I…" She sighed. "Chris, I'd rather forget about that…"
"No promises! After all, Dave's right behind ya!"
Sky gasped, as she looked behind her to see Dave walking off the boat, hair completely grown back again. He gave one look at her, before ignoring her and walking past her silently. He clearly had an angry expression though.
"Hey, Dave." Chris smirks at him. "Excited to be back?"
"No!" He glared at Chris. "I didn't wanna come back! Especially after you all left me behind!"
Shawn's and Sky's eyes widened as Jasmine winced. Chris just chuckled sheepishly. "Right… but hey, you can get your revenge on Sky this season!"
Dave looked back at Sky once again, but then looked forward again and walked to the end of the dock. Not saying a word and standing with the other competitors, who had been watching the tension and not knowing what to think about the whole situation. Shawn, Jasmine, and Sky eventually went to stand with the cast as well.
"Hehe, I missed them." Chris looked forward again.
"The next returning player is the amazing Topher!" Chris looked forward, seeing Topher introducing himself to the camera as he walked off the boat. Everyone just looked at him weirdly.
Chris groaned. "Listen, Toph! Don't try and steal my phone OR my job again! Or else you will automatically be cut from the competition! Got it!?"
Topher shrugged. "Whatever you say, Chris! But I will become the host of this show one day! Just you wait!" He walked over to the other end of the dock, standing with everyone.
"Hm, now that that's out of the way…" Chris shook his head. "Our final 3 contestants are Ella, Max, and Samey!"
"It's Sammy!" Samey screams as she walks off the boat.
"Whatever. You went by Samey last season. And you're sticking with that now!"
Samey sighs. "At least Amy isn't here this time…" She slowly walked to the other end of the dock.
Max laughs evilly. "This will be the season I will get my revenge! Bwahahahaha! Time to evil!"
Ella completely unintentionally ignored him as she sang and danced to the other end of the dock. "Hello everyone! Hope we can all get along well!"
"Psh, a princess?" Duncan couldn't help but laugh. "We've already had one here."
"Ooh! Where?" Ella looked around, believing him. Courtney facepalmed, knowing Duncan was talking about her.
"Hey! Don't ignore me, you fiend!" Max ran over to the end of the dock.
"Alright! That's everybody!" Chris announced before turning around and facing everyone. "Welcome back to Total Drama! Excited to be back?"
"NO!" Most of them said. Though of course, that didn't affect Chris at all.
"Perfect!" Chris chuckled. "As most of you know, this is Camp Wawanakwa. The place that started it all. To celebrate its return, this season will have a lot of returning challenges from past seasons!"
—
Confessional: Gwen
"I know I'm a good competitor, but I really didn't wanna come back here. Gosh, I hate Chris so much!" She sighs. "May as well try to win, I guess."
—
Confessional: Courtney
"I'm the only one out of the returning players from the original cast that hasn't made it to the finale! I don't get it! How haven't I made it to a finale yet!? I'm a much better competitor than Owen, Gwen, even Duncan!"
—
Confessional: Dave
"Last time, I had my eyes set on a girl the whole time. I'm not gonna make the same mistake again." He clenched his fist. "I'm only in it for the money this time! No girls!"
—
Everyone now stood at the area the cabins would normally be at.
"Where are the cabins?" asked Heather. "Don't tell me we have to sleep outside."
"We'll get into that in a moment." Chris answered. "For now, let's get into the teams. Which have already been decided. This season will be…" He paused as the camera zoomed closer to his face. "Beauties versus Beasts!"
Most of the contestants gasped. "Ooh! I love Beauty and the Beast!" Ella exclaimed. Everyone stared at Ella, who just sheepishly blinked twice.
"No one asked, Ella." Chris said, annoyed. "Anyways… Beasts go to the left, Beauties go to the right."
—
Confessional: Alejandro
"Beauties versus Beasts? I mean, I could go either way." He took out a mirror and grinned at himself.
—
"Gwen, you're on Team Beauty." Chris started. "Duncan, Team Beast."
Duncan smirked. "Later beautiful." He said to Gwen before walking over to the left. Gwen just rolled her eyes as she went to the right.
"Courtney, you're on the Beasts."
"What!?" Courtney looked shocked. "Why am I not a Beauty!?"
"Based on your performances from previous seasons, I've decided that you're more of a Beast than a Beauty." Chris answered. "So, go join Duncan."
Courtney just groaned as she walked over and stood next to Duncan, who she avoided eye contact with.
"Heather, Alejandro, you're both on Team Beauty." Alejandro offered to hold Heather's hand, but she just walked past him and stood next to Gwen. He shrugged it off and stood next to Heather. "And Owen, you're on Team Beast."
Owen smiled as he ran over to Courtney and Duncan. "Aw yeah! This'll be awesome!"
Chris chuckled. "Mike, Zoey, you're both on Team Beauty. Lightning, Jo, you're both on Team Beast." The 4 walked to join their teams, Mike and Zoey holding hands while Lightning and Jo avoided eye contact with each other.
"Scott, you're a Beast. Dawn, you're a Beauty." Dawn sighed in relief, knowing she wouldn't be on the same team as Scott again.
"Aww. Are you scared of me?" Scott asked her with a smirk. Dawn just turned her head away from him and walked over to her team. "Hah. Maybe she is." He smugly walked over to join his team.
"Shawn, Jasmine, and Sky, you're all on Team Beast." The trio walked over to join their team. "Max, you're also on their team."
"Perfect." Max smiled evilly. "Evil does not accept the title of beauty." He walked over to join his team.
"Uh, right." Chris scratched his head. "Dave, Ella, Topher, and Samey, you're all on Team Beauty."
The 4 walked to join their team. Samey took one glance at Jasmine. She sighs and proceeds to join her team.
—
Confessional: Samey
"I'm glad Amy isn't here. But…" She looked worried. "Jasmine was the one person I wanted to be on the same team with. Now… I have to survive without her!"
—
"And we have our teams!" Chris announced. "Gwen, Heather, Alejandro, Mike, Zoey, Dawn, Dave, Ella, Topher, and Samey. Your team name is…"
Music plays as the team icon pops onto screen. "The Beautiful Reindeers!"
Everyone was silent for a moment. "Reindeers? Really?" Heather raised an eyebrow.
"What? I thought it sounded nice." Chris just smiled. "Now for the other team." He turned his attention towards the other team. "Duncan, Courtney, Owen, Lightning, Jo, Scott, Shawn, Jasmine, Sky, and Max." He called out. "Your team name is…"
Once again, music played and the team icon rolled onto screen. "The Beastly Buffaloes!"
"Buffaloes? Alright!" Owen cheered.
"Buffaloes?" Jasmine questioned. "Ah well, I guess they are pretty tough."
"Bleh. Buffaloes are not evil enough for me." Max exclaimed.
—
Confessional: Duncan
"Most of the people on my team look strong. Well, besides Max. Wouldn't be surprised if he got booted early."
—
Confessional: Sky
"I feel confident about my team! I think we'll win a bunch of challenges together!"
—
Confessional: Dawn
"I sense a slight disturbance amongst the opposing teams. With people like Courtney and Gwen. Dave and Sky too. I haven't played in a season with any of them, but I do sense some darkness in Gwen's and Dave's auras. I just hope nothing bad happens."
—
"Now that the teams are settled, there's some things I should go over." Chris announced. "Due to the island sinking, we weren't able to save much. A lot of stuff was destroyed. Including the cabins and the McLean spa hotel." The contestants groaned after hearing this news. "Now now, don't worry. Just like Revenge of the Island, we have a backup cabin." As if on cue, a helicopter flies into the scene, holding a cabin. It drops it right in between the contestants, making them flinch a bit. "Unfortunately, we only have one backup cabin. So the cabin will be for the winners only."
"Oh great. It'll just be like last time if we lose." Dave said, visibly annoyed.
"Don't worry, my prince." Ella smiled at him. "If we lose again, we can find a nice cozy cave again to call home."
Dave raised an eyebrow at her. "Um… right."
"Some other things I should point out," Chris started. "Due to the ratings and complaints of fans, this season will have absolutely no cheating or BS eliminations. Everyone will be eliminated fair and square."
—
Confessional: Courtney
"Thank goodness for that. I still can't forget the first season when I was unfairly voted out by Harold rigging the votes! I could've won that season too!"
—
Confessional: Ella
"Yay! Maybe that means I'll get to sing freely now!" After saying that, she heard someone knock on the side of the confessional.
"Just don't be annoying with it, alright!?" Chris yelled from outside the confessional.
"Yes Mr. McLean!" She replied.
—
"Now with that out of the way…" Chris grinned. "Let's get on with our first challenge! Returning from last season, it is…" Chef pushed in a wheelbarrow full of balloons. "Doom Balloons!"
Some of the Pahkitew cast looked a bit scared. "Yes!" Sky cheered silently. "I can redeem myself from last time!"
"Rules are simple. You have 10 seconds to collect a bunch of balloons filled with surprises! Surprises that you won't like!" Chris grinned. "If you're hit with any balloons content by any means, you are out! The team who manages to eliminate the other team wins!"
"Psh, just sounds like a boring ol' water balloon fight." Duncan said.
"Oh, it's much worse than that." Jasmine said to him. Duncan didn't believe it though.
"Once you grab your balloons, there will be a 1 minute grace period." Chris explained. "You will be allowed to throw your balloons at each other when I blow the air horn." He pulls out a whistle. "Your challenge starts…" He blows the whistle. "Now!"
Everyone quickly ran to grab balloons. After that, they ran off.
—
Confessional: Sky
"Now that Dave's not on my team, I won't be distracted!" She grinned, though quickly faded when she realized something. "Though, it'll be pretty awkward if I did run into him during the challenge…"
—
The air horn was blown as Sky sneaks around, making sure not to make any noise. She looks around, hoping to find someone on the opposite team. She then sees a bush rustling and prepares to throw a balloon at it.
"Calm down. It's just me." A voice said, as Jo emerged from the bush.
"Oh," She lowered her balloon. "Jo, right?"
"Yup." Jo approached her. "Now listen here, shorty. I'm the team leader. Got that?"
"What?" Sky raised an eyebrow. "Who said you could be team leader?"
"Me." Jo scoffed. "Now come on. I'm pretty sure I saw a Reindeer over here somewhere." She started walking away.
"Wait!" Sky paused for a minute, then sighed and began following Jo.
—
Confessional: Jo
"I don't care what anyone thinks. I'm the most fit to become this team's leader. It didn't work last time since I got booted off early." She scoffed.
—
Courtney was walking around the forest with Duncan following slowly behind. She groaned and turned around to face him with an irritated expression. "Why are you following me?"
"Chill, Princess." Duncan simply walked past her. "This is the way I'm going."
"No." Courtney then went in front of him and pushed him back a little. "This is where I'm going. Go somewhere else!"
"Well excuse me! I-"
Courtney looked past Duncan, and her eyes widened. "Look out!" She interrupted him.
Before Duncan could react, he was hit in the back of the head with a balloon. "Agh!" He was covered in green slime now. Courtney quickly ran away.
Gwen laughed as she walked over to Duncan, revealing she was the one who threw a balloon at him. "Next time, pay attention, bad boy."
Duncan just stood there, frozen, thinking about what just happened as Gwen ran off, still laughing.
—
Confessional: Duncan
"Seriously!? I got taken out by Gwen of all people!"
—
Confessional: Gwen
"I was kind of hoping to hit Courtney, but hey, Duncan isn't so bad." She giggled.
—
"And it looks like the gorgeous Topher is sneaking around the forest…" Topher narrated himself once again. "He looks around, not yet finding anyo-"
"Shut it!" Someone was right next to him. He turned his head to see Heather.
"Hey! Someone needs to narrate all of this!"
"No! No narration is needed!" She glared at him, which made Topher look a bit scared. "Now come on. Let's actually get some people."
Elsewhere…
Dave and Ella were quietly walking together. Well, more like Dave was sneaking around while Ella was dancing and humming along.
"Ella, what are you doing!? Someone could see you!"
"Oh, sorry!" She immediately stopped and looked at Dave.
Dave sighed. "It's fine. Just… Please don't blow our cover. I really do not wanna get covered in whatever's in these balloons…" He was shivering a bit just thinking of what he could possibly get covered in.
"I see…" Ella nodded. "Then it will be my job to protect you, my prince! I can be your knight in shining armor for this challenge!" She exclaimed happily.
"Umm… thanks?" He scratched the back of his head. "I just hope I don't run into Sky."
Ella looked at him in confusion. "Why? I thought you liked Sky."
He sighs. "I'm assuming you haven't seen the rest of the season after you were booted off."
"Nope! But you could fill me in if you'd like!"
Dave thought about it for a sec, but then shook his head. "Maybe after the challenge." Ella nodded.
—
Confessional: Ella
"Prince David has been acting a bit weird lately… whatever it is, I hope he feels better!"
—
Dave continued to sneak around, hiding behind trees occasionally. Ella, on the other hand, was just walking peacefully until…
"AH!" She screamed. Dave quickly turned his head to see Ella covered in a white powder-looking substance. He looked around quickly, then looked up. Unfortunately for him, it was too late. A balloon fell and popped on his head.
"Ahhhh!" He panicked. "I'm covered in- in-" He then realized. "Oh, it's just water… phew." He sighed in relief.
Suddenly, Lightning jumped down from a tree, landing right next to Dave. "Sha-boom! That's 2 for the Lightning!" He quickly celebrated and ran off.
Dave rolled his eyes before looking over at Ella, who was itching herself a lot. "Ohhh… you got itching power."
"Y-yup!" She was too busy itching herself to say much. "C-can you help me, P-Prince?" Dave simply blinked at her.
Meanwhile…
Max was setting up something between 2 trees, grinning as he did. Scott eventually found him and went over to him.
"Hey!" His sudden presence made Max jump.
"Gah! What is it!? Can't you see I'm busy!?"
Scott groaned. "Yeah yeah whatever. What are you making?"
Max's grin came back after Scott asked. "Well, if you must know, I'm setting up a wire between these 2 trees. Once someone runs over, they will trip and fall, along with all of their balloons! So they'll be taken out by their own balloons! Mwahahahaha!" He laughed maniacally.
Scott raised an eyebrow. "That's it?" He then facepalmed. "Chances are nobody will even go through this area. You need a bait or something."
Max gasped. "I got it! I'm gonna put a bait over the wire so that they'll be lured to their boom!" He laughed evilly. "I'm a genius."
Scott groaned in annoyance. Suddenly, a bush rustle was heard before Mike and Zoey quickly popped out of a nearby bush and each threw a balloon at Scott and Max.
They both gave a yelp as they were hit. Scott was seen covered with a brown substance, while Max was covered in-
"SPIDERS!" Max screamed in fear as he quickly tried getting the spiders off of him.
"Sorry!" Zoey yelled. "But, not that sorry."
"Shoulda been quieter." Mike said before he and Zoey ran off.
Scott facepalmed. "You've got to be kidding me…"
"Ahahaha!" He stepped on the spiders he got off of him. "Take that you fiends!"
Suddenly, another voice was heard. "Sha-boom! Sha-bam!" It was Lightning's voice. "Sha-" Before he finished, he was caught by Max's wire and he fell forward, balloons popping on him. His shirt was covered with a blue stain. "Ow!"
"Ooh! And Lightning has tripped out of the challenge!" Chris said from the intercom.
"What!?" He stood up. "But nobody hit Lightning!"
"True, but your own balloons popping on you count! So, you're out!"
Lightning stomped the ground in anger. "Stupid wire!"
Max couldn't help but laugh. "You fool! You have fallen for my trap! I knew it would work! Bwahahahaha!" He laughed, but stopped laughing after seeing Lightning's death glare. "Uh oh."
—
Confessional: Scott
"Man did that guy just dig his own grave." He chuckled.
—
Jo was walking and looking around while Sky was simply following her with an unamused look.
"You know, maybe we should split up." Sky suggested. "So we could actually cover more ground, you know?"
"No way." Jo declined. "Chances are we'll meet a pair. Like Prince Charming and Princess Loser."
Sky raised an eyebrow. "You mean… Dave and Ella?"
"What? No. I meant Multiple Mike and Redhead Zoey." Jo facepalmed. "I barely even know the newbies."
Sky sighed. "Right, um," Suddenly, they heard big footsteps. Jo was quick to notice where it was coming from and dragged Sky into a bush. "Woah-"
"Shh!" Jo shushed her. "On the count of 3, we jump out and attack.
"But what if-" Sky was interrupted.
"1…" Jo started. "2… 3!"
Both girls jumped out of the bush and prepared to throw their balloons until they realized who was the one making the sound.
"Wha?" Owen looked at the girls in confusion. "Oh! Hey! You're on my team!"
"Quiet down, big guy." Jo quickly shut him up. "Have you taken anyone out yet?"
"Uhh, nope!" He answered. "Haven't seen anyone yet besides you 2."
"Great." Jo rolled her eyes.
"Hey! Maybe we can go look for them together!" Owen suggested.
Jo shook her head. "Sorry big guy. You'd blow away our cover big time." Owen looked a bit offended by that comment.
—
Confessional: Sky
"What is Jo's problem? She needs to show more respect for our teammates!" She shook her head.
—
Sky shook her head and started walking away. "I'm going on my own."
Jo turned to see her. "Hey! Get back here!" She yelled. Though suddenly, both her and Owen got hit with a balloon.
"Hahaha!" Alejandro came out from behind a tree, revealing he was the one who threw the balloon.
"Gh… this wouldn't have happened if Lion's Mane didn't leave." Jo groaned.
"Oooh! We're covered in chocolate!" Owen got excited while Jo rolled her eyes once again.
—
Confessional: Jo
"You know, for a team full of 'Beasts', I thought we'd have this challenge in the bag."
—
Samey was walking around silently… looking a bit worried. "I'm not with Amy anymore… Why am I still so worried?"
"Cause you think you're still gonna mess up?" Dawn suddenly appeared behind Samey, making her jump in fear.
"Ah! Wh-where did you come from…?"
Dawn simply shrugged. "I was reading your aura. It's quite… interesting. You're relieved your sister isn't here to bully you again, but also scared you're still gonna make a fool of yourself to everyone."
"I…" Samey was speechless for a bit, then sighed. "Yeah, you're right… it's just, even without Amy, her words are still stuck in my head."
Dawn grabbed Samey's hand with both of her hands. "Try not to think about her. You're finally away from her. This is your opportunity to make yourself look good to everyone." She gave her a small smile.
Samey stared at her for a bit, then smiled back. "Yeah…"
—
Confessional: Samey
"I'm excited now. I'm finally away from Amy and I can actually try and win this season without her ruining everything for me!"
—
"Th-thank you."
"It's no problem." Dawn replied.
Suddenly, Jasmine swung from a vine and dropped balloons on Dawn and Samey, who were caught by surprise.
"Sorry Samey!" Jasmine yelled as she swung.
Samey frowned. "Jasmine…?"
"Don't worry. She still considers you a friend." Dawn assured her. "She's just playing the challenge."
"O-okay…"
—
Confessional: Samey
"I really hope being on different teams won't affect my friendship with Jasmine. She encouraged me to stand up to Amy!"
—
Confessional: Jasmine
"I feel bad for hitting Sammy with that. But our team was down a lot of players anyway. Hope she doesn't think any differently of me after that…" She felt really guilty.
—
Jasmine swung from the vine and eventually let go, landing near Shawn who was poking his head out from behind a tree.
The intercom turned on. "The Buffaloes have 4 players remaining while The Reindeers have 6! Can the Buffaloes come back from this?"
Shawn looked up at Jasmine. "Who'd you take out?"
"Dawn and… Sammy." She winced. "They have 2 more members still in. We gotta be careful."
Shawn nodded. "Wanna go through the trees?"
Jasmine smiled. "Of course I do."
Shawn smiled back and they both climbed the trees, getting a good overview of the forest.
—
Confessional: Shawn
"I'm gonna be using the same strategy I used in Pahkitew. I mean, I don't see why not? It got me to the finale last time."
—
The couple swung through trees, looking around to find anyone. But suddenly, a balloon hit Jasmine's back. "Ah!"
Shawn turned his head to see Jasmine covered in blue paint. "What the!?" He looked down, and saw a balloon coming at him. He quickly jumped down the tree to dodge.
A laugh was heard before Shawn saw Alejandro running away.
"Hey!"
"See ya later amigo!"
"Oh no you don't!" Shawn ran to chase him. He threw balloons at him, but Alejandro proceeded to dodge his throws.
—
Confessional: Alejandro
"All a part of the plan. Get the man's girl, and the man has the thirst to avenge the girl. Ah, what an amazing couple those 2 are." He chuckles. "Not as amazing as Heather and I though."

Sky was sneaking around, going from bush to bush. "Seriously, where is everyone…?" She looked down, though looked immediately back up once she heard something.
"Welcome back to Total Drama!" She heard someone shout. And she knew exactly who it was. She went in the direction of the voice and eventually found Topher, practicing his speaking. "Who will be the next to take the cannon of shame!?"
"Finally…" Sky smirked to herself.
"Find out next time! On Total!" Sky grabbed one of her balloons. "Drama!" She prepared to throw it, until…
Heather had snuck up behind Sky and threw a balloon at her. "Ah!" She was caught by surprise and turned around to see her. "What!?"
"Sorry newbie." Heather grinned as she walked past Sky. She went over and high fived Topher.
"And that's how you fall for the Topher experience." He had a smug expression.
—
Confessional: Topher
"Heather, one of the best Total Drama players, asked me to be a distraction. I couldn't say no to her!"
—
Confessional: Heather
"Topher's annoying, and he doesn't seem smart at all. Though he does listen well." She thought to herself for a moment. "He could be put to good use."

Courtney was running through the forest, being chased by Gwen. "Leave me alone, Gwen!" She yelled at her.
"No!" Gwen shouted back as she continued to chase.
Meanwhile, Shawn was still chasing Alejandro. "Get back here!"
Both pairs were running. Alejandro looked forward and saw Courtney running in his direction. He made sure to time it well and quickly jumped to the side before he and Courtney ran into each other.
Courtney screamed as she ran away from Gwen, but wasn't looking forward and accidentally ran into Shawn. "Agh!" They both fell to the ground and groaned in pain.
"Now!" Alejandro yelled.
Shawn and Courtney both quickly went back to their feet. But once they looked around, they realized the situation they were in.
They were surrounded by Gwen, Alejandro, Heather, Mike, Zoey, and Topher. All armed with balloons.
"Aw crud…" Shawn said before him and Courtney were pummeled with balloons.
"And the Beautiful Reindeers win this challenge!" Chris shouted through the intercom.
The 6 Reindeers in the area cheered. Mike and Zoey hugged each other. Alejandro and Heather hugged each other. Gwen and Topher saw this and looked at each other.
Topher smiled and put his arms out for a hug. "Erm… no thanks." Gwen said to him, looking away.
"Oh, uh, alright." He awkwardly put his arms down.
"Beastly Buffaloes," Chris started. "Not so beastly now, are we? One of you is going home tonight. I'll see you at the Elimination Ceremony."
—
Confessional: Courtney
"Well that totally sucked." She shook her head.
—
The Beastly Buffaloes were grouped up in front of the cabins, discussing to each other.
"So…" Owen started. "Who do we vote out?"
"Let's make this easy." Jo crossed her arms. "Which loser here got hit with a balloon first?"
"That would be… Duncan." Courtney answered.
"What!?" He shook his head. "That was only because you were in my way, Princess!"
"What? So it's my fault now?" Courtney glared.
"Woah, woah," Jasmine got in between them. "No fight is required."
Sky spoke up. "We should vote for the person who doesn't seem like they'll help us out in later challenges."
"Yeah," Shawn agreed. "Maybe Duncan can be useful in other challenges."
"Well I nominate the little guy!" Lightning pointed at Max.
"What!?" Max looked at him angrily. "I had an amazing trap set out that you ruined!"
"Yeah! Getting out your own team member! Some trap!"
Some members sighed, knowing the vote could go in any direction.

Elimination Ceremony
The Beastly Buffaloes sat on logs in front of the campfire. Some of which were exchanging glares with each other. Meanwhile, the Beautiful Reindeers were sitting in the Peanut Gallery.
"Welcome back to the Elimination Ceremony!" Chris stood in front of the campfire, holding a tray of marshmallows. "Something you're all familiar with. Anyways, Beastly Buffaloes, you lost. Time for you to vote off a member of your team."
—
Confessional: Jo
"Our team was pathetic today. I'm stuck between like, 4 of them!"
—
Confessional: Lightning
"You mess with Lightning, you're gonna pay." He glared.
—
Confessional: Max
"Bleh, my plan should've worked. We would've won it for our team if it did!"
—
"The votes have been cast," Chris stated as he held his tray of marshmallows up. "If I call your name, you're safe."
The Beastly Buffaloes waited for the results. Some of them already had an idea on who was going. Others had little to no idea.
"The first camper safe is… Jasmine."
She smiled, as she caught her marshmallow.
"Shawn,"
"Jo,"
"Scott,"
"Courtney,"
"Owen,"
"Sky,"
"And Lightning."
He tossed everyone their marshmallows. "You're safe. Which leaves Duncan and Max. Duncan, you were the first one to get hit with a balloon. Pathetic, given you're supposed to be a beast."
"I was distracted!" Duncan yelled. Courtney couldn't help but chuckle a bit, which earned a glare from Duncan.
"And Max, you took out your own teammate. Yeowch."
"Hey! That imbecile was dumb enough to fall for it!" Max snarled.
"What did you call me!?" Lightning death glared at him.
Chris simply chuckles. "The last marshmallow goes to…"
He stared at both Duncan and Max, who both had angry expressions for different reasons. They waited for the results.

"…Duncan."
Duncan scoffed. "Yeah, thank goodness." He said as he caught his marshmallow.
"Wh-what!?" Max shouted. "Revenge! This is unacceptable!"
"Max, you are eliminated!" Chris announced. "Which means, you'll be the first to try out our new elimination method!"
Minutes later, the contestants plus Chris find themselves standing on the dock, in front of the new elimination Chris mentioned.
"The Slingshot of Shame!" At the end of the dock was a large metal slingshot, where Max was put onto the leather pad. The contestants gasped at the sight.
"Any final words, Max?" Chris asked.
Max had his arms crossed, an angry expression forming on his face. "You all will regret ever voting for me! I will be back to bring chaos upon you all!" Chris then pulled out a remote, and pressed a button.
SLING!
"REVEEEEEEEEENGE!" Max screamed as he was slung into the air. Everyone had watched with their eyes wide open.
"I will not miss him." Chris grinned at the camera.
—
Confessional: Courtney
"It would've been funny to see Duncan go home first." She chuckled a tiny bit, then her expression turned serious. "But I need to focus this time. I'm gonna need allies after what happened in All Stars."
—
"One down, 19 more to go. Who's next to take the slingshot of shame? And what sort of drama will we encounter this season? Find out next time! On Total! Drama! Return of Wawanakwa!"
—
Everyone was seen walking away from the campfire ceremony. Courtney sighed, being the last one to leave. She found a log and sat down on it, just thinking to herself.
"Hey Courtney." She looked up to see Scott walking towards her with a smile. He sat down next to her on the log. "What's up with you?"
"Scott? Um…" She looked down. "Not much. Just thinking about… stuff."
"Stuff, huh?" He smirked a bit. "Right… say, why don't we team up this season? You know…"
Courtney was a bit taken aback by this. "Really? I mean, sure!" She smiled and nodded.
"Great!" He smiled.
Her expression then turned serious though. "On one condition. You listen to me. Got that?"
Scott snickered a bit. "Whatever you say. I love me a bossy lady." He winked at her before getting up and leaving.
"I-" That caught her off guard. She blushed a tiny bit, then shook her head. "Gh… well, at least I know I have an ally now…"
Votes:
Duncan: "I'm voting Max cause he seems weak. I better not be voted out first!"
Courtney: She crossed out Max's picture. "You're getting off this time, Duncan."
Owen: He scratched his head, confused on who to vote for. He just picked up Max's picture and crossed it out.
Scott: "Max seems weak, which is why I wanna keep him. I'll vote off Duncan." He snickered. "He's also Courtney's ex so why not?"
Lightning: "No one takes out the Lightning! Sha-bye bye, Max!"
Jo: "I'm just voting for the person who seems like dead weight." She shows off the picture of Max.
Shawn: "Never liked Max in Pahkitew, so… yeah. My vote's obvious."
Sky: She crossed out Max's picture without saying a word.
Max: "I'm voting the imbecile who was stupid enough to fall for my trap!" He showed a picture of Lightning. "It was meant for the other team!"
Jasmine: She shows a crossed out picture of Max. "No surprise here."
Final Tally:
Max - 8 votes (Eliminated)
Duncan - 1 vote
Lightning - 1 vote
Placements:
20th - Max
And that's the first episode finished! Woo! It feels great getting back into writing! Oh yeah, I should probably mention that I'm very sorry for not continuing my other past stories. It would just feel weird for me to continue them after such a long time. Also, it felt foolish of me to write 2 stories at once. I've learned to stick with one project first before starting another one. But anyways, I really hope you enjoyed this first episode!
Max's Elimination: I will say, I have seen Max get first out in multiple other stories I've seen. To be honest, I'm not surprised. I did see Max as funny at times, however I feel like he should've been eliminated much earlier than he should. He should've gone home in episode 6, but was only saved due to Ella's unfair elimination. So yeah, I'm not a total fan of Max.
Thanks again for reading! I'm going to work hard on this story! I'll also be sure to reply to reviews if I get any! But anyways, see you all next chapter!
