The Third Disclaimer – I do not own any of the Total Drama characters, episodes, seasons, or anything that's related to the show. They belong to Teletoon, Fresh TV, Cartoon Network, and all those associated with the show. The rights of Total Drama also belong to Tom and Jennifer, the two creators of the entire franchise. Also, I do not own any of the contestants that'll be competing in this story, as they belong to their respective creator. And do not try any of what you read here at home! Seriously, you can get really messed up.
The Review Responses – It's time to respond to the reviews! Now, I am aware that there were more reviews added to the first chapter. Once the story progresses, any reviews posted in any of the old chapters will still get a response! I can be on chapter 20 and I'll still respond to any new reviews that are posted for chapter 2 or 3! So, with that situation being explained, let's get to the responses!
01. The Brightsteel Brothers – I'll do my best to ensure that your character makes it far! Even if he doesn't, at least he'll definitely make his wife proud! I agree that the cast seems interesting!
02. Isanity03 – Yes, your character is there! Don't worry, I won't reveal who your character is either! Let's hope that your character will make it far and win!
03. T20n00 – I'm glad that the trailer made you excited and hyped for the story! It's also great to hear that your character is being portrayed accurately, even if it's just one line of dialogue. As for his storylines, you'll just have to read and find out!
04. Korean Gosu – Well, unfortunately for you and all of the other readers, you'll have to keep on being curious until that scene happens! Only I know the answer! Yeah, I intended to reveal only a small bit of every characters' personality. Thanks for liking my trailer, and even I'm surprised that I completed it within a short period of time! And I hope you had a good New Year!
05. Candela Monsoon – I'm glad that one of the characters made you laugh! Well, you have to understand that it's North Korea they're gonna land in. It is one of the most dangerous locations on Earth, and if I went there, it would be game over for me instantly! I apologize if the second quote you mentioned confused you, but I did intend to write it like that. At least you got that good nap, though! I'm curious about which characters you've seen before.
06. Xmon323 – Thanks for the compliment! I apologize for not letting you finish your character, but I'm really happy that you're still gonna read this!
07. Obsidian Champion – I'm glad that the trailer made you shook! Be honest, if it wasn't interesting, would you still continue reading the story? Yeah, it's a little too early to predict some locations, but it doesn't hurt to still give your opinion! Thanks for the support as well!
08. ThatSmashBrosFan – I'm glad that you liked the trailer! I wanted to create something interesting and unique that would hype up the readers and reveal the characters, and a trailer was the best answer for me!
09. Galaxy842 – I'm glad that you liked the trailer! I know it was short, but if I made it any longer, it would result in some characters having more of their personality revealed than others, and that wouldn't be good.
10. Xtremexavier15 – Yes, all of the scenes will occur later on in different, future chapters. Now, the scene and dialogue that occurred in the trailer won't exactly be the same upon reaching the actual part of the story. The scenes that will happen later on were modified for the trailer to avoid revealing any spoilers or big surprises.
11. Ergo Glast – Thanks! That was my whole plan for the trailer; reveal all of the characters, but not too much of them. Trust me, once more of their personality gets revealed, you'll be more entertained with the story!
12. Gucci Mane LaFlare – Well, luckily for you, the next chapter is here! No, thank you for creating such an interesting and realistic character for me! As for the love interest part, you'll just have to read and find out!
13. Shianen – I'm really happy that you enjoyed the trailer idea, and it's great to hear from many people, which includes you, that revealing all of the characters with a part of their personality was widely praised! Well, the scenes and dialogue that took place in the trailer won't exactly be the same once we get to those actual parts. I am curious about the Total Drama Island Courtney part, and how the trailer relates to it. Maybe you can answer it through private messaging or in this chapter's review section? I'm not really a big fan of reusing challenges from previous seasons, so don't expect that to happen in this story! Thank you for also liking the idea of breaking each episode down into three parts!
14. Space Zodiac – Nah, you haven't missed much of the story, though. I'm glad you're liking it, though! And I'm also excited to see you and other fans of this story pick favorites already!
15. GirlsWorld2019 – Glad to see that another person got hyped up because of the trailer! That would be a dream come true, but I highly doubt they'll take an idea from some 18-year-old college student. I'm also excited to write your character as well!
16. Dogtimus – Thank you very much for the compliment! Hopefully, you'll like this chapter as well! I'm glad that your character is being written fantastically, as that's the best type of feedback I could ask for!
The Opening Note – Welcome to the third and final chapter of the preface, fellow reader! Now, I know you were expecting the first part of the first episode, but unfortunately, you'll have to wait a little bit more. Don't worry, the wait will be worth it! If you're disappointed, then I won't get mad at ya!
Anyways, as for this chapter, now that I've revealed the characters, what more is there to show for the preface episode of the story? Well, there is one answer to that question. The Total Drama opening for this season! That's right, rather than revealing the opening intro in the first episode, I'll just reveal it in this chapter! Will it be similar to the World Tour opening? Well, you'll have to read this chapter and find out!
And lastly, just know that all of the upcoming chapters after this one will be around 10,000 words at minimum. If you're not a big fan of long chapters, then this story isn't for you. Once the competition gets down to its last few competitors, the chapter length might go down, but not significantly.
Well, with everything out of the way, for now, let's get to the chapter! Enjoy
Chapter 03 – That Sexy Opening
Similar to many of the other seasons of Total Drama, the opening scene starts off with a spotlight coming into view. One pops up next to the L.A.X. Airport, another one pops up through the San Juan beach water, and a third one pops directly through a gambling table, creating a hole in the middle.
From there, several cameras appear out of strange places in the jumbo jet. Two of them appear from the business class bar, knocking over a couple of glass cups. Another one pops out from a large crate that's located in the cargo hold, and one more pops out from the tiki hut that's located next to the Drop of Shame, knocking Sasquatchanakwa out of the plane without a parachute.
From there, a clapperboard clamps down, indicating that the lyrics were about to occur.
Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine,
The camera begins rushing through the jumbo jet's economy class, which features a small, gray rat running by with cheese. It then passes through the first class section, as Chris gets startled by the moving camera. From there, it passes through the cockpit and Pilot Hatchet, and out of the plane's window.
You guys are on my mind!
After flying through the crowd of civilians with luggage in their hands, the camera goes over the CN Tower, leans down, and drops from the top of the structure to the bottom of Lake Nicaragua. Before dropping to the bottom and into the water, a blue canoe can be seen nearby with nobody onboard.
You asked me what I wanted to be,
Tommy is seen underwater, getting into a fist fight with one of the bull sharks. As he was about to knock out the shark, Therion passes by him in a terrified and rapid manner. Then, after seeing what Therion was swimming away from, Tommy immediately followed suit after seeing a familiar mutant shark with a couple of friends beginning to target him.
And now I think the answer is plain to see,
As the camera moves out of the water and onto the surface, Esmeralda can be seen water skiing on the lake without any difficulty.
I wanna be famous!
The camera moves to the right a little bit, and Annabelle can be seen trying to talk to Danny, who was attempting to stay focused on driving the motorboat. It was obvious that he didn't want to have a conversation with her, and when he turned his head to say something, they go off-screen and the screen briefly shakes, implying a crash.
As the camera pans over to the right once more, it shows that the motorboat had crashed into a new, brown dock. Abby can be seen standing on the broken dock while glaring at the two drivers, implying that she may have almost been hit. Unfortunately, for her, she never expected Esmeralda to fly across the motorboat and land onto her with a thud.
I wanna live close to the sun,
The camera then goes up to the sun, a bright flash transitioning from the motorboat scene to the top of the Stratosphere Tower. Marion can be seen climbing up to the top with immense difficulty, and it appeared that he was about to fall off. That was until Renge came by and pulled him up to the top. Before he helped Marion, Renge gave his baseball bat to Assala, who took it upon his request.
Go pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!
As the camera pans a little more to the right, Assala hands over the baseball bat to Krystal, who decided to run towards the edge of the tower. Upon reaching the edge, she kneels down and smashes a window that's right below her.
Right behind the smashed window was Mason, who decided to take a glass shard piece and inspect it. After that, he did the unthinkable and licked it! Of course, he held his tongue in pain.
Everything to prove, nothing in my way,
As the camera moves downward, the scene changes from the Stratosphere Tower to a popular concert stage in an unnamed location. There are a lot of people at the location, cheering on for the performers, which turns out to be Jasmin and Faith. The former was in the front, singing for them, and the latter was in the back, playing the drums.
In the front of the large crowd stood one familiar contestant. As the camera rotated 180 degrees, Nikolai can be seen standing around and getting bumped accidentally by the other people near him. Although he was getting knocked around consistently, he was still analyzing his surroundings to his best efforts.
I'll get there one day!
After Nikolai got knocked onto the ground, the camera rushes through the exit door and the scene changes to a different location, which is the destroyed, Pahkitew Island. Kyle can be seen trying to look through the destroyed environment for a particular object when he suddenly ends up getting close with a black bear.
As the bear roars, Kyle screams and runs off-screen, leaving behind the animal, as it pulls off its head to reveal Chander, who was in a costume the whole time. As he laughs, he turns around to see another black bear confronting him. Rather than attack him, the bear simply gave him a fist bump instead!
'Cause, I wanna be famous!
Elsewhere, on a beach of an unnamed location, both Violet and Alicia are sitting on a beach chair. The former appears to be looking around, and the latter appears to be writing in a notebook. Suddenly, a volleyball strikes Alicia on the side of her head. Seeing an opportunity, Violet picks up the ball and looks at Alicia with a smile on her face. Her response was simply a confused expression.
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na!
The next scene shows Carter walking by himself with the Eiffel Tower in the background. From a nearby distance, Brianna is also by herself and tries to get close to him. However, upon seeing her walk towards him, he immediately runs away off-screen, leaving a saddened and confused Brianna behind.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!
The camera then cuts to the first class section, where all of the contestants are seen dancing, possibly to the theme song. Then, the jumbo jet is shown flying through three different locations, such as Norway, North Korea, and Japan. Each of them has its own unique scene.
For Norway, Jonas can be seen attempting to catch some fish when the Total Drama Jumbo Jet passes by, creating a strong wind to hit him and the water so hard, that some fishes flew out of the water and landed on his face.
For North Korea, a familiar leader can be seen drinking some tea with his guards when the jumbo jet flew by, startling him and the others. As a result, he managed to spill the tea on himself. Just as he was about to do something dangerous, Saran, who was disguised as one of the guards, managed to calm him down.
For Japan, Kayla can be seen going through an intense training routine, as she is currently meditating under a waterfall with the other trainees. The jumbo jet flies by, and none of them lose their concentration, despite the dangerous and loud distraction.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!
The camera cuts back to the first class section, where all of the contestants are still singing the lyrics of the theme song and dancing to the music, with Carter trying to stay away from all of the other people, Mason accidentally bumping into other people with his terrible and clumsy dancing, and Abby holding hands with Brianna as they dance together.
Then, the jumbo jet begins to suddenly shake vigorously, implying that a crash had occurred. As the camera cuts to the cockpit, it is shown that Chef had mistimed the landing, leading to him and Chris jumping out of the jumbo jet with their own parachute bags. Cutting back to the first class section, the emergency exit opens, and all of the contestants jump out of the jumbo jet. Some jumped on their own, and others were forced out in groups.
Thankfully, all of them used working parachutes and land safely into an unnamed body of water below. While all of this was going on, a group of paparazzi photographers pulls up in a motorboat in an attempt to get some pictures of Helena, who greeted them with a friendly wave.
Suddenly, the jumbo jet lands directly behind the group, creating a huge wave that sends the motorboat flying away off-screen. The season's logo was on a piece of metal on the side. The impact of the landing causes it to shift and fall out of place slightly. From there, all of the contestants showed a shocked expression from seeing the photographers get washed away, and then the theme song ends
The Closing Note – And there you have it! I hoped you enjoyed the official opening for this season! For the record, it took me around a total of nine hours to create this entire intro, so I hope that those four extra hours will pay off!
Like the last chapter, my goal was to be able to put all of the contestants into the chapter in a way that reveals a bit of their personality. Hopefully, with the trailer and theme song chapters being able to showcase each of the contestants, you should be able to form a first impression opinion for each of them. And also, a few more locations have been revealed, so that's another big step for this story!
As for this chapter itself, I did incorporate a few parts from the World Tour opening, but I changed up the scenario to fit the people that were gonna be in those specific scenes. The rest of it was all created by me, as I wanted to be as original and creative as possible. But the most important thing that I hope goes right, and gets appreciated by you, is the detailed imagery. My description of settings isn't really the strongest, so I'll do my best to definitely improve on that component!
And lastly, I did say that the first part of the first episode was gonna be uploaded before the first week of January ends. Well, unfortunately, because of college class and work, I'm sorry to say that the first part won't be uploaded until around Friday or Saturday of this week. I hope you're not too upset about the one week delay!
Well, I guess I'm all done with this closing note, so I'll see you in the next chapter! Take care, reader!
