Chris stands by the front of a large metal gate with chain fencing spreading in opposite directions along the side of the road. Chris gave the camera a welcoming smile as it closes in on him. "Welcome dear viewers to the first official episode of Total Drama: Dungeon Hunters!" Chris soon gestured behind him. "Beyond this gate lies where our contestants will stay for the rest of the season." The camera soon pans towards the sides to reveal a massive forest just behind the fences. "We'll soon give you guys a detailed tour about the place but for now let's wait for our contestants. Oh, I think that's them right now."
Off into the distance was a yellow ordinary looking bus quickly approaching to where Chris was standing. As the bus stopped right in front of him, the doors soon slid open prompting a few foot steps to be heard from inside the bus.
"Welcome!" Chris announced as the first person got off the bus. The first person who got off the bus was a young girl who looked to be of average height as she walked up towards Chris smiling. She had long honey brown hair with pink colored tips and pink heart shaped pins at the ends. She wore a plain white tank top with a pink mini skirt to match. She stared at Chris with her blue eyes before speaking up.
"Hi Chris! It's a pleasure to meet you." The girl gave Chris a toothy grin before extending her right arm towards him palms open.
"Likewise." Chris replied shaking the girls hand. "You must be Lucette am I correct?"
"Yup, you sure are."
"Great. Now go stand over their while we wait for the others to come out." Lucette soon proceeded to stand by the front gate all the while humming to herself.
The next person to step off the bus was a tall boy, around near six feet in height, making his way towards Chris. He wore a white dress shirt underneath a blue dress jacket slightly opened with similar colored dress pants. His dark blue hair was flowing gently as it caught the wind causing some of his bangs to cover his face. He also appeared to be wearing rectangular shaped glasses over his black eyes.
"Welcome! You must be Clint? How are we doing today." Chris smiled. Clint just gave Chris a long look before heading towards where Lucette was standing. "Not much of a talker huh? Whatever."
"Heya! My names Lucette! What's yours?" Lucette introduced as she gave Clint a sweet smile. Clint however just ignored her and walked passed only to lean on the fence to mind his own business. "Okay..."
The next person to step off the bus was another boy only this time he was shorter than Clint, shorter than Lucette even. He wore a plain white t-shirt underneath a brown jacket barely zipped up. He also wore faded blue jeans that either looked like it has seen better days or was intentionally designed to look that way. He had neatly trimmed black hair in the style of a bob cut. Slung around his neck was a pair of red headphones seemingly attached to something in his right pocket.
"Derek I presume?" Chris motioned for a handshake but was aptly ignored by the young boy. Derek then walked towards where Clint was leaning up against and decided to stay their as well while listening to his music. Both boys didn't even bother to even look at each other. "Geez...rude much."
Another contestant soon hoped off of the bus only this time it was a girl. She wore a stripped red and white shirt underneath a grayish black hoodie with four diamond shaped buttons. She also wore a plain black short skirt with a leather belt outlined by a metal chain strapped to her waist. Her knee high socks were barely poking out of her knee length high heeled boots making her look a bit taller. The most eye catching thing about her was her ginger colored hair cut just above her shoulders framing her face perfectly for both of her ears and some parts of her freckled cheeks were covered up.
"Let me guess, you're Ginger aren't you." Chris said with a smirk as the girl approached. "I could tell mostly because of your hair."
"Well given that smug look of yours you must be Chris." Ginger countered. "I could tell based of off that." She snickered. Chris looking pretty much unamused by her statement just held back a bit for his right eye brow was already twitching.
"Go stand over their by the others." He motioned for her towards where the other three were standing. Lucette waved back at Ginger while the two boys just minded their own.
"Hmm interesting crowd. Good luck to those who gets to be in a team with those two." She pointed towards Derek and Clint before walking to where Lucette was standing.
"Hi! My names Lucette." Lucette introduced once more as she kept up her sweet smile.
"Nice to meet you. The names Ginger." Ginger said smiling back.
"Ginger...the name suits you." Lucette said sweetly.
"Umm thanks. Haven't heard a compliment in a while." Ginger replied almost blushing a bit.
As the two were busy conversing another contestant soon got off the bus. The person who got off the bus was a boy wearing a zipped up white and red jacket with brown pants a blue sneakers. He has chin length brownish black hair in which swayed gently as he walks up to greet Chris. Staring at the host with his light green eyes he paused for moment before continuing on with his greetings.
"Good day to you Chris. You look the same as ever." The boy greeted with a nod of his head.
"Ah, Kazuo. Nice to meet you as well." Chris replied. "So, you have anything to say about the current line up we have?" Chris gestured towards the other contestants. The two girls were having hearty conversion for they were notably giggling while the two guys just stood by their lonesome.
"Hmm I wonder what the butterfly effect has in store for us." Kazuo stated before heading towards where the other contestants were.
"Okay...good luck with that." Chris says as he trails Kazuo with his eyes. "Weirdo." He said once Kazuo was out of ear shot
As soon as Kazuo left a female contestant soon got off. She wore a long and brightly colored dress coupled with a pair of flat shoes. She had golden wavy hair that reached her mid back and crystal blue eyes. On top of her head lies a small silver tiara encrusted with a couple small jewels.
"Phoebe! Glad you could make it." Chris says smiling.
"Um, th-thanks Chris." Phoebe said meekly giving off a small smile. "S-so umm where are we s-staying exactly?" She asked while staring at the dense forest right behind the fences. Her face looking a bit terrified.
"Don't worry to much about it. Go stay by the others for now while we wait for the other contestants to arrive." Chris motioned for the doll faced girl towards the gate. As Phoebe cautiously approached the front gate, eyes still locked on to the forest, Kazuo soon took notice of her and gave of a sly grin as he had an idea. Walking up to meet her half way through, Kazuo soon spoke up.
"Hey their short stuff. The names Kazuo." He introduced a bit flirtatiously.
"Eeeek!" Phoebe backed off a bit. "Oh umm I-I'm sorry. I'm Phoebe."
"Okay, so tell me Phoebe, what's with the worried look?"
"Oh umm I-I'm worried that th-their m-might be a monster in their." Phoebe replied, her voice trembling a bit."
"Hmm I see." Kazuo nodded. "Well, I hope we could get along real well." He winked.
While the two were talking another male contestant got off the bus and looked to be having an argument with Chris. The guy was much more powerfully built and taller than Chris was along with having ash-blond hair and sideburns. He wore a simple black t-shirt with a red demonic face printed in the middle and faded jeans with silver-and-black tennis shoes. Hanging from his right shoulder was his black leather hooded jacket. His dark blue-green eyes were staring down at Chris the entire time.
"What do you mean give up my knife? If I'm going to survive here I'm going to need it." He said assertively. His voice was loud enough for the others to hear.
"Listen Leonard, It's for safety purposes and besides you will all have better weapons during the challenges anyways." Chris argued back with his arms crossed. Leonard, still glaring at Chris, soon took notice of the others staring at him. Giving up with his stand, he soon reached inside of his pocket and fished out a flip knife.
"Fine. You better return it to me once were done here." Leonard handed Chris the knife. "Oh and by the way, I go by Jag."
"Don't worry, I don't like keeping memorabilia's that are not me." He pocketed the knife. "Now go wait by the others." Leonard soon went towards where the others were standing.
"Move it kid." Leonard said as he walked in-between Phoebe and Kazuo.
"Eeep." She shrieked slightly as she backed off shakenly. The other contestants also took notice as they eyed him down. Whispers started going around as Leonard stopped to stand by Clint, who was also staring at him as he approached.
"Hmm what's wrong with him?" Lucette whispered to Ginger.
"I don't know but I would suggest staying away from him for now." Ginger whispered back.
"Agreed."
"Hmm what if he brought a gun instead of a knife." Kazuo pondered. Phoebe hearing his statement just started shuddering in fear at the thought of their being a gun. Kazuo taking notice just let out a small chuckle. "Don't worry, I doubt he's that extreme."
As all the commotion died down another male contestant got of the bus. He wore a gray shirt underneath a pitch black jacket with red outlines, regular jeans and hiking boots. His black hair had textured spikes with white as snow tips. Though his hair was eye catching, what the others paid more attention to was his eyes, one eye being pure white with a black pupil while the other was the reverse being pitch black and a white pupil. His porcelain white skin almost gleaming as he walked under the sun's rays.
"Everyone, meet Nathan." Chris announced for everyone to hear. Nathan just gave everyone a shy smile and a wave before proceeding to wait by the others, albeit farther away.
"So, what's with the interesting get up? You don't even look or act edgy." Ginger teased. "Oh and the names Ginger." She says extending her hand forward for a shake. Nathan just backed up slightly in response.
"No thanks." Nathan says with his hands up defensively.
"What? Are you a germaphobe or something? Don't worry I'm clean." Ginger ended with a grin
"Oh no, it's just that I'm not really fond of physical contact is all." Nathan replied a bit apologetically. "Now please, I rather be alone for a while."
"Okay." Ginger says as she returns to Lucette's side. "Man, what is up with the guys being loners." She says to Lucette once she was out of ear shot.
"Well, not all guys. Look at those two getting along." Lucette pointed towards Kazuo and Phoebe chatting. The Later though looking a bit terrified with one hand covering her mouth while the former was silently laughing to himself.
"Yeah, I guess so."
The next person to step of the bus was a girl of medium height and ivory skin. She wore a bright red Lolita dress with both the hem of her skirt and wrists were ruffled. Her long reddish brown hair reached the end of her back and tips slightly curled. Her olive green eyes scanned around the crowd as she gave everyone a soft smile.
"Everyone, this is Paris. She's a famous ballet dancer from Poland." Chris introduced. Paris just gave everyone a courteous bow.
"It's a pleasure to meet you all." She says while bowing. "I hope we would all get along very well."
"Okay princess, go stand over their by the others. We're still waiting for a few more contestants." Chris pointed her towards the front gate in which she obliged.
"Will do." Paris soon moved towards where the others were. As she approached the other contestants she soon noticed one of the guys still eyeing her. "What? You like what you see." Paris teased as she approached Leonard
"Don't get your hopes up." He said dismissively with his arms crossed. "Now go away, I hate small talk."
"We'll see." Paris replied before breaking away from Leonard and proceeding to stand underneath the shade of the front gate just behind Leonard. Everyone else just kept their eyes on her all the while.
"Man, she's really playing with fire." Kazuo said to Phoebe as his eyes were still locked on Paris. "Hmm I wonder if their interaction will have an effect later on." He soon gave off another sly grin. "Yeah...maybe that would happen."
"Um, Ka-Kazuo...p-please tell me you're not having a-any unpleasant th-thoughts." Phoebe says looking a bit shaken as she caught Kazuo's malicious look. Kazuo chuckled slightly as he petted Phoebe's head.
"Oh little Phoebe, I wonder how you would act if I didn't talk to you first." He continues to mess with her golden hair. Phoebe just gave him a terrified look.
After a while the next contestant that got of the bus was a fairly tall male with pale skin. He wore a red shirt with black splotches, blue cargo shorts, and white and red nike shoes. His blonde hair was swept to the right side of his face to give him that semi-emo look. His piercing chestnut brown eyes scanned the current crowd as he had a mischievous look on his face.
"I wonder who would be my potential victim hehehe" He silently laughed to himself. As he scanned around the contestants he soon looked towards Lucette giving her a wicked smile. "Perfect hehe." As he was about to approach the two girls Chris soon stopped him by grabbing him on the shoulder.
"Hold it Blake." Chris says as he pulled Blake back. "I suggest you save whatever it is you're planning for later."
"Heh. Fine. Gives me more time to plan my pranks out." Blake soon pulled his shoulder free from Chris' grasp. As he freed himself he continued on to stand by waiting with the rest of the contestants, not bothering to even strike up a conversation with anyone.
The moment blake left a female contestant got off the bus which caught almost everyone's attention due to her glowing white skin. She wore a black sleeveless top with a plain white cardigan over it and black pants. She's shorter than most of the female contestants but what made her stood out the most was her perfectly white hair with ash highlights matching with her skin.
"Hi everyone!" She exclaimed happily while bearing a huge grin.
"Hmm I like this girl. She looks fun to be around." Paris said to no one in particular. "You agree?" She looked towards Leonard.
"No." Leonard replied without even bothering to look back.
"This here is Laren. You could say she's a ball of positivity." Chris said looking a bit disgusted.
"Hey their Chris. I bet this season would be great!" Laren exclaimed.
"Let's see how long your positivity will last." Chris laughed sadistically. Laren just tilted her head slightly with a confused look.
The next contestant to step of the bus was the complete opposite to Laren. She wore a navy blue plaid button-down shirt with sleeves rolled up to her elbows and a white thin-strapped tank top underneath. She also wore dark washed tattered jeans with a couple small tears on both her thighs and knees and has flat hi tops on as well. Her hair is black and reached up to her mid back with her bangs slightly cut just above her brows. She had a much more intimidating aura in comparison to Laren's more Positive one.
"Hi! My names Laren!" She beamed with excitement. "What's yours?" The girl just gave Laren a cold stare with her deep green eyes as if signaling for her to back off. Laren, completely oblivious, just stood their smiling with her head tilted a bit. "So, what is it?"
The girl finally spoke up. "Fuck off already." She said plainly before brushing passed her. Laren, still quite interested with her, just followed her. "Go away, shoo." Alice said as she took notice. Laren just stared at her cutely with a small smile. Letting out a sigh Alice just continued to head on towards the other contestants with Laren following.
"Well, the potty mouth you all just witnessed is Alissa..Alilisasa...uhh..Alisalis...Alilessudrovak!" Chris said finally. "Man that was hard to pronounce. I wouldn't be surprised if I somehow butchered it. Anyways, she'll also go by Alice if anyone is interested." As both Alice and Laren cut through the contestants, Paris decided to tease Leonard once more when both of them passed by.
"So Leonard, is she your type? You both look edgy and have matching green eyes." She snickered. Leonard just looked back and gave her a sharp glare promptly making her raise her hands up in surrender. "Oh c'mon, lighten up. I was just teasing you."
The next one to get of the bus was another male contestant who looked to be about six feet tall. He wore a long sleeved blue undershirt underneath an unbuttoned black polo, Black cargo pants, and black combat boots. He has near shoulder length black hair with his bangs barely covering his crimson red eyes. He looked like to be the easy going type of person for he was much more laid back and looked much more calmer then the other contestants
"Meet Dylan everyone, our much more hardcore gamer." Chris said with a smirk as he eyed Clint. Clint didn't give much of a response for he just stared at the newcomer.
"Oh Chris, you flatter me. It's not like I'm consistently in the top ten ranking of ALL online games." Dylan bosted heavily. Everyone didn't give him much thought except for Clint who gave him a long look. Dylan catching Clint's gaze just gave the guy a smirk.
"What's this? Do I sense a rivalry brewing up already?" Chris says with a grin. "The challenges haven't even started and yet bloodlust is already in the air."
"Blood isn't the only thing I'm lusting for." Dylan stated calmly before making his way to stand to where Clint was, all the while eyeing each other as he approached.
"Don't let your arrows lose to quickly." Clint finally spoke up. "Unless you're ready to pick up your knife"
"Don't you worry about that, for I always hit my mark." Dylan boldly replied. Clint just let out a small smile as if accepting a challenge.
The next contestant to step of the bus was a girl of average height with long black hair that reached down to her back and curves around her face. Her skin was lightly tanned and has brown colored eyes to match. She wore a purple blouse underneath a black cardigan with plain jeans and black shoes. Like Dylan, she looked a lot calmer then the others for she had a small smile looked at everyone with an easy gaze as she neared the the others.
"Hello, everyone. I hope we have a memorable time together." She said in a soft even voice.
"Welcome, Janet." Chris smiled at the girl. "Go stand by the others while we wait for the remaining contestants."
"Will do, Chris." Janet soon made her way to stand with the others just behind where Ginger and Lucette were. Lucette and Ginger taking notice, they soon introduced themselves
"Hi! My name's Lucette." Lucette introduced herself with a smile.
"And my name's Ginger." Ginger introduced herself as well. "Janet right?"
"Yup, pleased to meet the two of you." She said smiling.
"So, any guys you currently like here?" Lucette suddenly asked.
"Umm, isn't that a bit to sudden? I mean we haven't even properly met the others yet." Janet replied trying to dodge the question.
"Still though, they say that the first impressions will leave the biggest mark." Lucette remarked. "So who is it?"
"If that's the case then wouldn't that mean you're leaving a bad impression for acting a bit to rash." Ginger teased as she turned Lucette's words against her.
"Oh c'mon, it's not like you didn't answer it when I asked you the same question a while ago." Lucette said grinning as if she pulled out a trump card on her.
"I-I was just merely humoring you is all." Ginger replied looking a bit flustered. Janet just silently laughed at the two.
While the trio were having their fun another female contestant got off the bus. The girl was short in stature with dark brown hair tied into a French braid with light brown skin and hazel colored eyes. She wore a gray long sleeved shirt with the words "Seize the Day" printed in bold across her chest, skinny jeans, and gray high-tops. Strapped to her waist looked to be a green colored hoodie and a green knitted cap on her head.
Some noticeable features about her was her near heart shaped face and slightly pointed ears.
"Hi." The girl waved. "I'm so glad to be here." She smiled.
"We'll see if you would still feel the same once we get started." Chris laughed sadistically. Kali just gave Chris a confused look in which Chris just waved his hand dismissively. "Never mind about the details. Welcome to the show either way, Kali."
"Umm...thanks." Kali replied looking a bit skeptical.
"Now move out of the way, we still have..." Chris trailed off as he counted the contestants that were already out. "Three more contestants to go." Kali soon started moving towards where the other contestants are. As Kali was walking, she soon took notice of Dylan who was eyeing her with an intrigued look. When she approached Dylan soon spoke up.
"I didn't know we had an elf within our ranks." Dylan said while slightly laughing. Clint just rolled his eyes while shaking his head.
"Don't worry, I can assure you I'm human." Kali replied softly.
"Well that's sad, we could have gotten a skilled archer or swordsman." Dylan slightly pouted. Clint just gave an amused grin hidden from the two.
"Hmph, we'll see." Clint said from under his breath.
"AAAH!" Phoebe suddenly screamed. As everyone looked to where Phoebe was afraid off they all soon were taken aback to what they saw as well.
The thing Phoebe got scared by was the next contestant who was a tall intimidating looking man for everyone fell silent the moment they noticed him. He has long black hair tied into a pony-tail with tan colored skin. He wore a black t-shirt with blue overalls and black sneakers but what made everyone feel uneasy was the black eye-patch on his right eye. His only good eye was a clean shade of silver which made him look even more intimidating. As the guy had a worried look on his face for nearly everyone looked to fear him, Chris soon spoke up.
"Everyone, before any of you say anything, I did not accept an ex-convict." Chris defended. "His name is Tristan and he's just as friendly." Chris rolled his eyes, clearly wishing that Tristan was a convict.
"Yeah, I'm sorry if I scared any of you guys." Tristan apologized. "I didn't intend for this to be my first impression but theirs really nothing much I could do."
"Explain yourself later, we still have two more to go." Chris soon gestured for Tristan to stay by the front gate.
"Okay." Tristan replied before making his way towards the others. As Tristan was passing by Phoebe and Kazuo, Kazuo soon took notice of Phoebe's shaken disposition as she was looking straight at Tristan. With a curious look, Kazuo soon called over Tristan.
"Hey Tristan! Why not spend time with us for a while?" Kazuo called out. Hearing Kazuo's call Tristan decided to walk up to them. With a shaken look, Phoebe just hid behind Kazuo as Tristan was approaching.
"Umm are you sure you want me to be here?" Tristan asked as he took notice of Phoebe. "She doesn't look comfortable around me."
"Oh don't worry about her." Kazuo waved him off dismissively. "She's just nervous to meet people is all. Isn't that right Phoebe?" Phoebe just cautiously peeked her head from behind Kazuo.
"Hi their." Tristan said in a friendly tone with the warmest smile he could manage.
"H-hi.." Phoebe replied sheepishly. Kazuo just chuckled slightly from the outcome he got.
"Well anyways, my name's Kazuo." He finally introduced. "I hope things go smoothly for us once the challenges start."
"Likewise." Tristan nodded.
"Here comes our last male contestant!" Chris announced. And like he said, another male contestant soon got off the bus. He was about above average with cream-colored skin and was fairly skinny. He wore a blue and red buttoned up shirt, tan cargo shorts, and black-and-grey checkered patterned skate shoes. He has dark-brown hair in a corporate cut and oval rimmed glasses covering his hazel eyes.
"Everyone, this here is Estwynn. Our neighborhood weab." Chris smirked.
"Hey! I'm not a weab, I don't even look like one." Estwynn said abruptly to defend himself. "Just because I placed in my app that I like Japanese heroes that doesn't make me a weab automatically."
"Whatever weab, go and wait by the others." Chris kept up his smirk. Glaring back at Chris, Estwynn soon stormed off with his arms crossed.
"Maybe I will." Estwynn said before walking away from Chris. Estwynn just stood next to Nathan who just gave him a shy smile. Estwynn taking notice just slightly nodded his head at him.
"Okay, time for our final contestant!" Chris exclaimed but no one came. "I said it's time for our final contestant." Chris repeated himself but was to no avail. "Hold on." He said before entering the bus. After a few seconds of waiting, Chris soon got of the bus dragging a girl with long brown hair with him. With her and Chris now out of the bus, the bus soon drove off.
"Okay, okay. You didn't need to drag me out ya'know?" The girls said with both her hands on her hips. She wore a thin blue dress with a long skirt, White stockings, and white doll shoes. She was just barely above five feet and looked to be younger then she appears to be.
"Well you took to long and I didn't want to drag this on longer then it should be." Chris said with his arms crossed. "Now go stand by the front gate with everyone else, Gelsey." Chris pointed towards the gate.
"Ugh, whatever. This is totally killing my mood." Gelsey soon marched towards the front gate and stood right next to Paris. Paris just smiled and waved before speaking up.
"Hi, my names Paris." She introduced with a smile.
"My names Gelsey. Nice to meet you." Gelsey smiled back.
"Everyone, may I have your attention!" Chris announced as he was already by the front gate. Everyone looked towards him. "Now since all of you are finally here, I think it's about time we get this show on the road." He soon turned around and the gates automatically opened up. As Chris went through, everyone followed in as well with some of them looking around the dense forest surrounding them.
Leonard, Paris, Gelsey, and Derek were at the front of the group with the two girls busy talking to each other as they walked.
"Interesting place to set up todays season." Gelsey said as she looked around. Paris just nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, I wonder who would be our teammates though?" Paris pondered.
"As long as no one gets in my way I don't care who they are since I would be carrying them all the way." Leonard said defiantly. Derek just shrugged in response.
"Bold statement." Blake said from behind them. "But remember, everyone here would be getting powers and weapons. It's not like you'll be the only capable one here."
"Shut your mouth kid, otherwise I might pummel you down first." Leonard glared while cracking his knuckles.
"We'll see about that hehe."
Alice, Laren, Phoebe, and Kazuo brought up the rear of the group with everyone else were in the middle.
"Ooooh, this place looks interesting." Laren said completely amazed by the scenery. "Don't you aggree Alice?" She smiled.
"Stop talking to me." Alice replied with her eyebrows crossed.
"Eeeep." Phoebe jumped a bit as she herd a twig break. Kazuo seeing Phoebe's reaction couldn't help but laugh a bit.
"Man, you sure are afraid of every little thing aren't you?" Kazuo asked while grinning.
"I t-try n-not to be." Phoebe replied meekly.
Chris soon stopped right in front of large camp site with a big fire pit in the middle. Further ahead of them was the giant oval shaped building where the challenges would take place.
"Everyone, this campsite here is where all the eliminations will take place and inside that building over their is where all the challenges would be held." Chris explained as he held his arms out dramatically. "Over to my right, you would see where you all would be staying for the rest of season." He gestured towards the nine seperate wood cabins. Ginger suddenly raised her hand.
"Wait, their are only nine cabins and theirs eighteen of us, wouldn't that mean one cabin will have one boy and one girl?" She asked looking a bit skeptical with the set-up. Chris just waved his hand dismissively
"I'll explain how it will work out later, for now their are a few more things I need to explain." Said Chris in response. "Now, to my left is where all your food will be served." Chris gestured towards a huge green tent in where Chef was standing right outside giving them all a salute. Most of the contestants just groaned in response. "Okay, now follow me everyone for the last bit of our tour so that the first challenge can finally begin." Chris soon lead them inside the massive building.
As they all approached the building, Chris soon pressed a button on the side of the building causing the double-doors to slide open. When they all got in most of them were amazed to what they all saw. Inside was a very spacious room with multiple neon lights flashing inside. At the very end of the room lay a control panel with many blinking lights and above it was a massive flat screen. Placed on each wall were nine human sized pods all with green lights signifying that no one was inside. The contestants were all already awe struck with some already roaming around the place.
"Wow...are we seriously going to use all this!" Laren exclaimed excitedly as she was frantically pacing around the room.
"Damn, I did not expect such a killer set up such as this." Dylan said clearly impressed. "This so beats my triple-monitor PC set up at home." He boasted a bit.
"Hmm I wonder what sort of machinery is running this place?" Tristan said quite intrigued by everything he saw.
"Everyone, can I have your attention?" Chris announced suddenly as he was standing by the control panel. "It's time we start the first challenge that will decide what you will be on. Here are the mechanics." Chris pressed a blinking blue button on the panel. The large screen soon turned on to reveal an aerial view of a massive maze surrounded by a dense forest. "The area shown in this screen is where the challenge will take place. Each of you will enter a pod each and will be spawned just outside of the maze scattered around the forest. Your job is to make your way to the front entrance of this maze before we could start. Once their, you will enter by pairs to find three colored gems; red, blue, and yellow." The screen flashed three shiny gemstones. "Take note that each gem is generated at random so their is a good chance that your partner will also be your future teammate. Any questions?" Phoebe raised her hand.
"A-are their g-going to be a-any monsters in their?" Phoebe reluctantly asked.
"Good question, Phoebe." Chris answered with a grin before pressing on another button. The screen soon flashed nine different silhouettes of unrecognizable creatures. "These monsters on screen will serve as the guardian of sorts protecting the gemstone. Only one will spawn per pair to make things a bit more interesting."
"Are we supposed to kill them?" Clint asked from the middle of the group as he was analyzing each creature.
"The depends on you guys if you want to kill them or not." Chris answered. "I generally don't care how you finish this challenge to be honest."
"Are their going to be any eliminations after this challenge?" Kali asked from behind everyone else.
"For the sake of this challenge their isn't going to be one. So no need to worry yourselves about that for now." Chris answered as well. Various whisperings started happening. "Any more questions?" No one raised their hand. "Good, now onto the pairings, also to make thing quick, your pair is also your cabin partner." Some of the contestants just groaned in response.
"Okay, the pairs are as follows." Chris pressed a green button on the panel to reveal each pairing. "Leonard and Phoebe." Chris named each one.
Leonard just gave a skeptical look while Phoebe just shook in fear.
"Kazuo and Nathan."
Kazuo and Nathan just gave each other a nod.
"Derek and Janet."
Janet tried to wave at Derek but the later just ignored her
"Ginger and Lucette."
Both of them just high-fived each other while sporting huge grins
"Alice and Laren."
Laren just jumped in joy, Alice on the other hand wasn't too fond of her partner
"Paris and Blake."
Both just looked at each other not giving the other much thought.
"Dylan and Clint."
The former gave of a smirk while the later nodded
"Kali and Gelsey."
Both girls just gave the other a sweet smile
"And lastly, Estwynn and Tristan."
They both shook the others hand.
"Now, get in the pods now so that we can begin." Each contestant got into a pod with some of them entering in the pod next to their partner in hopes that they would spawn together. As each one them entered their pods, the glass panes closed in on them locking them in.
While inside, a complex helmet with tubes and blinking lights was soon lowered onto their heads with all of them having the sudden urge to sleep. As the last contestant succumbed to the sleepy sensation the large monitor soon showed an aerial view of where the contestants were all waking up with surprised looks on each of their faces.
Chris, still standing by the control panel, turned to face the camera bearing a huge grin. "Well, their you have it folks at home. Our eighteen contestants now have stepped into virtual reality to determine which team they will belong in."
On screen shows Leonard and Ginger arguing about where to go while Phoebe was cowering right behind Ginger. Another scene soon flashed to reveal Blake and Paris walking side-by-side in a different part of the forest. One last scene was shown with Derek walking on his own. All of the contestants that were shown all wore a multitude of different outfits and armor far different from the ones they came with along with bearing an assortment of weapons.
"Will they be able to make it to the maze? Will they ever survive what the maze has in store for them? And Clint prove that he's the ultimate gamer? Find out next time on...Total...Drama...Dungeon Hunters!" Chris exclaimed with both his arms raised.
Authors note: Well, here you go, the first official chapter of Total Drama: Dungeon Hunters. I hope you all liked my portrayals of your OC/s, if not well tell me through PMs on where I should improve upon. Also for those who missed my update on the cast list I would like to apologize once again for not accepting them. Also lastly I would be leaving a question in the end of every chapter for all of you who submitted to answer. I'll be doing this so that I can know how each of your OCs would react to certain things I'm going to add later on during the story.
Okay, onto the question: If a bonus challenge were to be given that your OC can take on at any point during the contest that would grant them an instant pass to get into merge at the cost of being eliminated instantly upon failure, will they take the risk? Send me you answers through PM. Well anyways, until next time. Icathius, out.
