Hello and welcome to my story! This is Total Drama: The Island Awakens. This story comes from my desire for a new season so I just want to go ahead and write my own. I've been planning this story for awhile and I hope everything comes together the way I see it in my head.
A middle-aged man pops in front of a camera that is currently aimed at a dock that's clearly old and rickety. He had stylish jet black hair and was dressed in clothes that were definitely not made for the outdoors. In the background there is an island which looks familiar, but much worse and run down than previously seen.
"Welcome!" the man announced excitedly. "We're coming at you live from our newly ex-submerged Camp Wawanakwa for our newest season of the best reality show - Total Drama!" He said this with more enthusiasm and excitement than most people in their older years can muster. "I'm your host, Chris McLean, ready for the heavily speculated seventh season of the greatest reality show on television, ever."
The music changed to something a little dark and dramatic. "For anyone tuning in for the first time, Total Drama is a reality, competition show where we force money hungry teens to survive with nothing but their minds, well, and physical strength of course! They endure our terrible conditions, awful food provided by our co-host Chef, dangerous wildlife, which is sometimes mutated, each other, and most importantly me!" the man finished, smiling.
"Now, don't expect any of our winners to be returning." Chris began to explain, "Owen, from the original crappy Island." Clips of Owen battling through Total Drama Island and eventually being crowned the winner was shown.
"Duncan, our resident bad boy who happened to beat fourteen other suckers in our abandoned film lot in our second season Total Drama Action." Clips of Duncan were shown.
Chris grinned, "My personal favorite season and winner, Heather from Total Drama World Tour." The clip of Heather kicking Alejandro and shoving him down the volcano was shown.
Chris got a grim look on his face, "Now we move onto our less well-received seasons. Cameron, from Revenge of the Island beat out twelve other brand new contestants and survived mutated creatures." Clips of Cameron were shown.
"Moving onto my least favorite season, we have Zoey who won Total Drama All Stars." Clips of Zoey barely beating Mike were shown.
Chris grinned again, "Last, but not least because like I said All-Stars blows. Shawn was the winner of Total Drama Pahkitew Island!" Clips of Shawn were shown.
Chris walked to the edge of the dock at a leisurely pace as he continued talking, "This season had so many guesses as to what it could be. All-Stars 2, Underdogs, or another all new cast were all speculated. However, none of them were correct! This season's theme is redemption. We're bringing back twenty-four contestants who either did terribly, or came oh so terribly close to winning a season. Pretty much, people who need more screen time or hasn't got their justice yet."
A blimp floated above the water from where Chris was. Chris smirked before speaking, "From our original cast - clumsy surfer, who kissed a metal pole, Bridgette!" Bridgette appeared in a door in the blimp looking terrified before being shoved, "Alejandro tricked me!"
"The jock who isn't good at sports - Tyler!" Tyler was thrown from the blimp looking angry, "I so am good at sports, dude!"
"Forgotten finalist - Beth!" Beth cannonballs down screaming, "Am I really forgotten?"
"Crazy lover-boy - Trent!" Trent is thrown out of the blimp, "Dude, what about my guitar?" His guitar is thrown after him.
"Spanish Manipulator - Alejandro!" Alejandro gracefully dives down into the water without saying anything.
"Love-able idiot - Lindsay!" Lindsay falls and shouts gleefully, "I'm flying... again!"
"Lazy loser who's never made merge and has never even gotten a symbol of immunity - Noah!" Noah flails as he falls, holding a book, "Tyler's never made merge either!"
"Last and certainly least, everyone thinks she deserves to win a season - Courtney!" Courtney falls from the blimp, "Of course I need to win a season!"
/
The generation one contestants are gathered on the dock. Chris beckons to them all, "Original campers, who are you surprised at being here or who do you think shouldn't be here."
Most of them point at Noah. Noah glares at them, "What? Come on! What have I done to most of you?"
Trent speaks up to Noah, "It's not about what you've done to us, it's the opposite. You just haven't done anything, dude."
Noah sighs.
Bridgette points to Alejandro, "I really wish Al wasn't here. No one even likes him!"
Tyler begins to speak as well, "Yeah! He ruined everything back on the plane!"
Alejandro grins and responds politely, "Look how far it got me though," before transitioning into saying something fairly rude, "Most of you will never amount to anything. Tyler and Noah has never made merge. Beth is completely forgotten, Trent is a psychopath, Lindsay is an idiot, and Bridgette is too clumsy! Courtney is the only real competitor here."
Everyone, but Courtney, glares at him. Chris laughs, "Well said Al! Good to have you back, sadly we must introduce everyone else now."
/
"From Revenge of the Island we have scaredy-cat Brick!" Brick dives out of the blimp saying nothing.
"Blabbermouth - Staci!" She does a cannonball as she is speaking, "Did you know it was actually my great great great aunt who invented cannonba-" splashing into the water before she can finish.
"Silent genius - Beverly!" He jumps from the blimp giving a thumbs up on his way down.
"Rich wannabe - Dakota!" Dakota jumps from the blimp, "I am not a wannabe!"
"Idiot runner-up Lightning!" Lightning dives, "This is the season of sha-lightning!"
"Dirt eater - Scott!" Scott falls as he smirks, "I'm winning it this time!"
"Jerky jock-ette - Jo!" Jo jumps from the blimp, "I'm going to beat you McLean!"
"And finally, creepy aura reader - Dawn!" Dawn gracefully floats down, "Now now, Chris. You don't need to be rude because of what happened with your parents when you were younger."
/
The second generation was all gathered on the dock. Chris grins at them all, "Same question that I asked the others - who do you not want to be here right now." Most point at Scott for his devious ways in the past.
Lightning and Brick point at Jo. "He just isn't a cool dude." accused Lightning.
"Hey idiot! How can you not realize I'm a girl at this point?" glared Jo.
Scott speaks up, "Personally I wish people like B and Dawn weren't here. It's been over a year since Revenge of the Island and I've grown as a person. So now I feel bad for doing what I did to them"
Dawn looks at Scott, "I can tell from his aura that he's telling the truth."
Beverly offers a fist bump to Scott which he takes.
/
"From our most recent cast - Heart breaker - Sky!" Sky dives from the blimp, "He deserved it!"
"Heart breakee - Dave!" Dave trips and falls out of the blimp, "That's so not nice, Sky!"
"Good and Bad Twins - Amy and Samey" They both jump and Samey holds Amy's mouth shut as she yells, "It's Sammy!"
"A person who I didn't want to invite back - Topher!" Topher jumps, "I'm actually playing this time!"
"Another person I don't want here - Scarlett!" Scarlett jumps out and yells, "Don't worry I'm in therapy now!"
"Idiot farmer - Rodney!" Rodney clumsily cannonballs down, "Don't worry I've changed, man!"
"And last placer soundboard - Beardo!" Beardo jumps out of the blimp as he makes the stereotypical cartoon sound of someone falling.
/
The third generation cast is gathered on the dock in front of Chris. "Same question as the other two, if anyone of this cast could not have been here, who?"
"Sky, easily." Dave opens up, "All she had to do was say she had a boyfriend. She used me just to get money! Then she just was fine with leaving me stranded on a dangerous island!"
Sky opens her mouth to begin to speak, "Alright, but you're no saint Dave. You didn't want to listen to the but and you just kept insisting on dating me!"
"You could've just said it anyways! I might have been dumb for listening but I can't control what you say!"
They begin arguing as the the twins point at each other. Topher jerks his thumb over his shoulder towards Scarlett and says, "Personally, I don't feel safe with her being here."
Scarlett sighs, "Look I have anger issues and I might be morally grey, but I don't think I'd ever try to harm you guys... again."
/
Chris now has the entire cast gathered in front of him, "Alright everyone! Welcome to Total Drama: The Island Awakens." He gestured for everyone to follow him, "We have the mess hall back." He pointed to a mess hall that an exact replica of the mess hall from season one, but completely rebuilt. Then he gestured to either side of the mess hall where two cabins stood. "There's cabins for the losing teams. Keep the boys and girls separated still, of course." He continued walking as everyone followed him before stopping in front of a huge mansion, "This is where the winning team will be staying during the off days. I'll also be staying with them! Lucky them!" everyone groaned in response to this.
Finally Chris got to the campfire, "This is where we'll be doing elimination once again. Smores for everyone who is safe, nothing for the one who is eliminated. That's pretty much it. Meet me back at the cabins for your teams."
Once there Chris begins speaking again, "Alright now you must be wondering what the teams will be. Heroes VS Villains again!"
Dawn raises her hand, Chris nods at her to speak. "Uh, Chris you said two losing teams. Heroes and Villains are only two teams."
Chris smirked, "I was just getting to that! On the heroes team we have... Bridgette! Noah! Brick! Dawn! Dave! Samey!" Amy gasps at this before Chris begins again, "Tyler! and Dakota!"
Amy marched to Chris, "HOW is SAMEY a hero, but I'm not?" Chris laughed at her, "You're the evil twin!" Amy pushed Chris, "Samey cheated!" Chris shrugged, "I don't care."
"Now for our Villains... Courtney! Alejandro! Lightning! Jo! Topher! Amy! Scott! and Scarlett!" All of them nodded and murmured agreements with their positions.
Chris walked over to the eight that remain, "Now you guys will be what I call "Neutrals." None of you were really villains, but you weren't really heroes either. Beth, Trent, Beverly, Staci, Beardo, Sky, Rodney, Lindsay."
Sky gasped, "How am I not a hero?"
Chris looked over to her, "You used Dave, but it was kinda justified so you're neither a hero or a villain. Lindsay you would be a hero, but you broke up with Tyler and we needed an eighth member of this team."
"The outhouse is the confessionals once again. Alright everyone, hang out, do whatever, tomorrow is your first challenge."
Bridgette is sitting in the outhouse, "I don't know how to feel about most of my team. I only know Noah and Tyler." she shifts her position before continuing to talk, "Noah has never been the most helpful member on any team and Tyler, while he has a good heart, is more clumsy than I am. Brick, Dawn, and Samey all seem nice though."
xx
It is now Noah sitting there. "I'm not going early this season. I'm tired of losing. I plan to scheme as much as I can and take out anyone who gets in my way." Noah smirks, "I've had the brains to do it this whole time. Now I have the motivation."
xx
Brick, "My team seems to be made up of strong cadets like myself."
xx
Dawn, "I sense some dark auras this season. I worry for Dave. The villains team is full of dark energy, except for surprisingly, Scott."
xx
Dave, "I will make sure Sky doesn't make it far this season. She will pay for almost killing me."
xx
Samey, "I'm free of my sister this season! I can finally be my own person!"
xx
Tyler, "Lindsay broke up with me. I don't know what I'm going to do now! She was my world!" He begins sobbing.
xx
Dakota is the final hero to do a confessional, "Well guys, I'm back on another season! My daddy paid for me to go back to normal. I just need to make sure I have enough screen time to get my own spin off!"
xx
Scarlett, "I promise I'm better this season. Sure, I might have tried to kill people, but after seeing what happened after I did that I would never do that again. I still plan on winning though. Alejandro will be my first target."
xx
Scott, "I've really changed guys. After All-Stars where I was just kinda there and not scheming I realized how fun it could be to be friendly with people. Courtney is still on my mind, but if we can just be friends that would be great."
xx
Amy, "Why the hell did Chris bring Samey back? She's just a stupid wannabe. I'm the real star of the family."
xx
Topher, "Chris brought me back after I tried to steal the show.. I'm honestly very surprised. I'm going to try to win normally this season. Of course that means playing as dirty as necessary."
xx
Jo, "Why did Chris have to bring back Lightning? I honestly can not tell you how much I hate that kid, however I sure can try. Lightning is by f-" She's cut off by the footage speeding up for a good 30 seconds and we hear her finish off with an "IDIOT!"
xx
Lightning, "This season is about to be struck by sha-lightning!"
xx
Alejandro, "Everyone knows what I'm up to now. I've had two seasons on this show. There's no way to hide so I'm just going to have to make myself useful."
xx
Courtney, "Everything bad happens to me. I deserve a win. I'm not going to be robbed this season."
xx
Beth excitedly makes her first confessional since Action. "I can't believe I'm finally back! After almost winning Total Drama Action I thought I was going to become popular, but people just seemed to forget about me completely! I'm back this season to remind people that I exist! Including my friends and family who just barely talk to me now!"
xx
Trent sits in front of the camera, "I can't believe how long it's been since Action. I promise that I'm not crazy like season two portrayed me as. I'm just here because I'm forced to be, man."
xx
Beverly sits there silent. He seems to be lost in thought before he opens his mouth and a very soft spoken voice comes out, "Hey. It's good to be back. I still have trouble talking in front of people, but I can at least speak in confessionals... I-I just get really scared and talking to a camera is a lot different than talking to actual people. I saw that I had fans and I really appreciate it."
xx
Staci, "Oh my god I can't believe I'm back! My great great great great gre-"
xx
Beardo, "Yo guys it's good to be back!" He makes a cash register noise, "I'm here for the money. Also to try to be less shy."
xx
Sky, "Of course Chris brought back Dave. He's still mad at me! I can't believe him!"
xx
Rodney, "I'm not going to fall in love with anyone this season. I promise."
xx
Lindsay, "Yay!"
The shot cuts to The Heroes sitting in the mess hall. Noah is sitting all on his own, Brick and Dave come over and sit with him. Brick opens his mouth first, "Soldier, I can't help but notice you sitting here all on your own. That is no way to make friends and you need friends to make it far in this competition."
Noah sighed, "I guess that's why you came over here." He gestures towards Dave, "What do you want?"
Dave and Brick sit down and Dave begins to respond, "Well, you just seem like the most normal guy on this team and I can't handle freaks and wackjobs."
Noah smirked, "Perfect, what do you two say to an alliance?"
Brick looks unsure, "An alliance seems unfair and dishonest."
Dave looks to Brick, "Well, think of it this way Brick. We're all friends and it's keeping your friends safe. Plus it's not like we're lying to anyone? We just aren't telling them about the alliance. Besides, I can guarantee all of them are going to be making alliances too."
Brick smiles, "Well when you put it like that, sure let's make an alliance!"
/
Dawn walks over to Samey. "Hey Sammy."
Samey smiles at her, "You got my name right!"
"Of course I did, I know how much Amy's teasing bugs you. I thought you could use a friend."
Samey smiles again, "You want to be my friend?"
Dawn nods and sits down, "I'd love too. Your aura is a beautiful shade of lilac."
/
Bridgette and Tyler are talking. "I'm sorry to hear about your breakup with Lindsay."
Tyler begins sobbing at the mention of Lindsay. Bridgette pats his back, "Geoff and I don't really have many issues anymore so if you ever need advice or anything I'm here for you buddy."
/
Dakota looks around and decides she doesn't want to talk to anyone on her team and goes over to the camera. "Hello viewers!" she does a cute little wave and smiles, "I'm Dakota Milton and I'm here to win the million! Well, not really. I'm pretty stinking rich already. I'm just here to get screen time and get my own spin off show so I can be famous! Just you wait until my show begins airing: Total Drama Presents: Living With The Miltons."
/
The shot cuts to Staci trying to find a friend. Beverly turns away from her. She tries to talk to both Trent and Sky and they get annoyed and leave. Beth and Beardo walk up to her.
Beardo begins speaking first, "Hey, Staci right? Are you alright?"
Staci turns around and looks at him with a tear rolling down her face, "No one wants to talk to me."
Beth quickly hugs Staci, "I'm Beth and they're just jerks!"
Staci smiles and hugs back, "Ya know, my great great great great uncle invented hugging."
Beardo looks concerned and makes a bell noise, "Hey Staci. You don't need to lie to us! We want to be your friends no matter what, just be yourself. People probably get annoyed because all you do is lie."
Beth nods.
Staci considers this, "Well I guess.. I just.. I don't have any friends at home so I try to make myself as interesting as possible so people listen to me."
Beth pats Staci on the back, "You don't need to do that for us, you're plenty of interesting."
/
Trent wanders until he finds someone he wants to get to know and he comes across Sky.
"Hey- I don't think I ever caught your name."
Sky looked up and began to respond, "Oh hey- you're Trent, right? I'm Sky."
Trent sat down next to her, "It's nice to meet you."
Sky smiles and nods.
/
Rodney instantly gravitates towards Lindsay who is asking Beverly questions about a project he's working on. "What does this do?"
Beverly sighs and doesn't respond.
Rodney walks up, "Hey guys, I'm Rodney it's nice to meet y'all." Beverly simply responds with a thumbs up.
Lindsay jumps up and marvels at Rodney, "Wow! You're so big, you look so strong!" Rodney suddenly slouches staring at Lindsay.
"I- uh, the stars and the sky can not beauty you're the moon and me." Rodney stutters out.
Lindsay smiles, "Aw that's so sweet Rover!"
Beverly raises his eyebrow at the camera.
/
Courtney walks over to Topher and drags him over to Scott. "Alright you two, you're working with me."
Topher raises his hand which Courtney glares at, "Give me one minute Topher. Alright, Scott we're friend-ish and I want to work with you."
Scott mutters out, "Yeah I'd be happy to!"
Courtney looks over to Topher, "Go ahead."
"Why me? Like, out of everyone why'd you choose me and Scott?"
Courtney groans, "Well obviously Scott and I have history and you just seem the least offensive and most easy to get along with."
Topher smiles, "Fair enough, I'd be glad to be in an alliance with you guys."
Courtney smirks and puts her hand out in the middle which Topher and Scott put theirs on top of hers.
/
Alejandro walks up to Jo and begins to talk, "Senorita. I know we have our differences, but I think you and I could be a strong team."
Jo ponders, "You know what Alejbarfo? You're right. I hated your guts back in All-Stars, but you and I could be a strong team. Of course I'll be taking you down in the finale."
Alejandro shakes her hand, "It'll be my pleasure."
/
Lightning is running and he bumps into Amy. "Hey watch where you're sha-going!"
Amy punches him, "I was standing still moron!"
"Ouch! You sha-punched me! I dig a girl who can stand up for herself. Plus Lightning needs himself a cheerleader."
Amy smirks, "Is that so?"
/
Scarlett is seen spying on Jo and Alejandro. She marches up, "I want in."
Jo and Alejandro share a nervous glance.
Jo opens her mouth up first, "Look, I don't trust you, psycho."
Alejandro also speaks up, "I'm inclined to agree."
Scarlett shoots back, "I guess I just have to tell the whole team about this little alliance."
"Fine, you're in." Jo states annoyed.
/
The shot finally cuts to Chris standing on the dock. "Well, well, well! What an exciting start to an exciting season! Next episode we'll get around to doing our first challenge and first elimination. Until next time, this has been, Total! Drama! The Island Awakens!
Next Time On: "Total Drama: The Island Awakens"
The contestants begin their first challenge, a rivalry forms, a romance forms, and someone is the first person to use our newest elimination method.
Heroes: Bridgette, Noah, Brick, Dawn, Dave, Samey, Tyler, Dakota
Villains: Courtney, Alejandro, Lightning, Jo, Topher, Amy, Scott, Scarlett
Neutrals: Beth, Trent, Beverly, Staci, Beardo, Sky, Rodney, Lindsay

Hello everyone! Thank you so much for reading this first chapter of my fanfiction! I've attempted to write fanfictions in the past, but this one is one I really am excited for. I just really hope you guys like it. Let me know in the reviews what you think is going to happen. Any plot lines you think will happen or want to see. Also predictions for first boot and maybe an entire elimination order would be fun to see.
