EPISODE 1: THE NEW WAWANAKWA PART 1
The camera opens on the sun rising over the cliffs of Camp Wawanakwa, panning down slowly to show Chris McLean standing on the dock beside the Wawanakwa sign, smiling his trademark smile.
"Wawanakwa, the island that started it all. Years ago, we saw twenty-two teenagers come to this island to compete for 100,000 dollars Canadian! Fortunately, the fans couldn't get enough of it and we had torture ideas to spare so we went on to take over a film lot, travel the world, create a nuclear wasteland, clean that wasteland and use it again, and build an entirely new island! Unfortunately following the events of Total Drama All-Stars, Wawanakwa was destroyed. We moved on to Pahkitew Island but what can I say? I'm sentimental! Since all of our incredible design team was building a new state of the art facility for the new season, complete with all the latest technologies and safety features, I decided that I wanted to honor the spirit of the show, cancelled that project, and had them build a perfect recreation of Camp Wawanakwa. And not a minute too soon, I might add. Since we're celebrating everything Total Drama, what better place to hold the biggest, deadliest game yet? Every winner Total Drama has ever had is contractually obligated to face off with 18 newcomers for one million dollars! They're all about to show up, and when they do they're going to face off against the most dangerous challenges, the most dangerous alliances, and the most shocking surprises ever as we celebrate everything that's come before. And it's all right here, right now, on Total… Drama… LEGACY!"
*cue theme song*
Chris grinned into the camera. "Welcome back to Total Drama Legacy. We're just getting ready for the first of our twenty four competitors to arrive." The sound of helicopter blades picks up as a prison chopper lowers down to the dock. "Here's our first competitor! You know him, you love him, three-time competitor and winner of Total Drama Action… DUNCAN!" The choppers doors open and Duncan is thrown off. Duncan crashes on the dock as his duffel bag is thrown on top of him. "Duncan, my man! Welcome back to the outside haha," Chris said with a grin. Duncan jumped to his feet and grabbed Chris by the collar.
"YOU! I got thrown in prison because of you!" Duncan snarled. Chris grinned.
"Dude, you burned down my cottage. YOU got you thrown in prison. But it's cool, brah. I worked out an early release with your warden. It turns out that they think this show is worse punishment than prison. Just remember that we share the same parole officer, I know who to call if you get out of line." Duncan growled under his breath and dragged his bag away. As he did, a boat pulled up and dropped off a busty young woman with swirly white hair, a white dress shirt with the top button or two undone, a short black skirt, a red collar bow-tie, and black dress shoes and thigh high socks, as well as a blue jacket over her shoulders. "Welcome to the island, Lain!" Lain smiled and high fived Chris.
"Hey Chris, what's up?"
"Nothin' much! Likin the hair. How long did it take to get that windswept look?" Lain laughed.
"Just lucky I guess." She picked up her bag and walked over beside Duncan, who raised an eyebrow at her.
"Seriously? Which magic show did you just get fired from?" He asked, arms folded. Lain's smile immediately faded as she crossed her own arms and furrowed her brow.
"Is the ex-con really making an escape joke right now?" Lain growled. Duncan was quiet for a moment before grinning.
"Fair enough, magic girl, respect," he chuckled. The boat pulled up again and dropped off a short, muscular man with dark blue jeans, black sneakers, and a gray t-shirt under a burgundy button-up shirt.
"Steve, my man, what's good?" Chris grinned, fist-bumping him as he passed by. Stepping off the next boat after Steve was a tall, pear-shaped young woman with pink hair streaked with yellow tied up in two ponytails, wearing a black tube top, skinny jeans, a red hoodie, and pink heels. "Ruby! Welcome to the island!" Ruby smiled.
"It's a pleasure to be here, Chris," Ruby said sweetly as she passed. Hearing her accent, Duncan grinned.
"An English chick? Sweet. I've always dug that accent." Steve grabbed Duncan by the collar and pulled him to eye level.
"Watch it, mohawk," he snapped. "She's a person who deserves respect. Show it." Duncan shoved him off.
"Alright, Tiny, chill. I've been to prison, you're not the worst thing I've ever seen."
"I guarantee you that anything you've seen in prison is way worse than anything on the streets of New York, thug life," Steve barked back. The camera pans back to Chris, who's laughing.
"Oh man, I knew this season was gonna get dramatic but I had no idea it would happen this quickly!" Another boat pulled up and dropped off a young man and woman, about the same age and size. The girl, with long pink and green hair and wearing a red and black polo, black shoes, and black slacks, raced off the boat.
"This is it? Are we finally at Wawanakwa? YES! I'M SO PUMPED!" She cheered. The guy, with a brown buzzcut and wearing an identical outfit, stepped off behind her with their bags.
"Relax, Mary, we're one of the first ones here. Nothing's happened yet," he droned in a calm monotone. Chris chuckled as they walked past him.
"Mary, Paul, good to have you. Hopefully you guys have a better bond than the last pair of twins we had."
"Didn't the last pair of twins on this show hate each other?" Ruby asked.
"Yeah, Amy and Samey ended up cheating each other out of the game and haven't spoken since Pahkitew Island… it was AWESOME!" Chris laughed. "Speaking of Pahkitew, here comes our next returning competitor! Winner of Total Drama: Pahkitew Island, it's Sky!" Sky stepped off the boat and looked around, letting out a sigh of relief.
"Well, at least I don't have to live in a cave this time," she said with an optimistic smile.
"As someone who's on his third sentence in this shithole, trust me. The cave was probably better," Duncan quipped as Sky walked over to join them. Another boat dropped off a young man with glasses, sandy blonde hair in a wolf-tail and a sandy blonde beard, and wearing khaki shorts, sandals, a tie-die bandana, and a metal band t-shirt.
"Josiah! Welcome bro!" Josiah grinned, slung his messenger bag over his shoulder, and high-fived Chris as he walked to join the others.
"Chris, what's good bro! Good to be here!" He walked over to the other campers as a tall, tan girl with spiky blonde hair, a leather vest over a gray sports bra, skinny jeans, and boots stepped onto the dock.
"Oh my god, it looks horrible! Wasn't this island JUST built? Why does it look so run down?" She asked, disgusted. Chris just smiled proudly.
"What can I say, Isabella? We were going for authenticity!" She rolled her eyes and pushed past him.
"Whatever, just don't touch me."
"Oh great, Heather 2.0," Duncan said with a groan, rubbing his temples. The next boat let off an incredibly pale young man with black hair, clad in nothing but a tattered brown robe.
"Froth… dude…" Chris started hesitantly. "Did you lose your real clothes or something bro?" Froth goes to run off the boat but trips and tumbles onto the dock. He gets up and excitedly shakes Chris's hand.
"Hi! My name is Froth!" He chirped, grinning happily.
"Um… Yah… I know…" Froth then ran to the other campers, turning first to Josiah and extending his hand to him and repeating the same greeting.
"Hi! My name is Froth!" He piped again. Josiah grinned and wrapped Froth up in a big hug.
"What's up, dude? Name's Josiah!" As Froth began repeating the same greeting with everyone, Chris turned his attention to the short, pale, freckled brunette girl that just stepped off the next boat. She's wearing a Kingdom Hearts t-shirt, sweatpants, and sneakers.
"Sophie! Welcome!" Chris greeted. She nervously offered a weak smile before grabbing her bag and joining the other campers. She turned away shyly at the site of ex-con Duncan and muscular Steve, but Ruby gently laid a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't mind them, Steve seems alright and Duncan's all bark and no bite. I'm Ruby." Sophie smiled gently at her and was about to speak before being interrupted by the sound of loud party music from the next boat. Duncan grinned.
"Oh I know what that means!" He laughed.
"I do too!" Chris laughed. "Everybody, the original champion and the initial winner of Total Drama Island, it's Owen!" Owen launched himself off the boat and landed on the dock, immediately pulling Chris into a tight hug.
"WOOOOOOOO! BACK AT WAWANAKWA THIS IS AWESOME!" The lovable giant cheered.
"Yeah… good to… have you… now let me go…" Chris wheezed. Owen laughed and dropped Chris before running to greet the other campers, immediately reuniting with Duncan and befriending Froth and Josiah. "Ah geez… Owen's a great time but I just got over the last season he competed on…" Chris lamented, a hand on his sore back.
"Oh my gosh, are you okay?" A sweet voice asked. The next contestant, a young hourglass-shaped woman with long, wavy brunette hair, wearing a white, purple, and black plaid button-up opened over a white t-shirt, black tights, and running shoes asked as she placed her hands on Chris's back. "Does your back hurt? Perhaps some muscular distress? I might have some ibuprofen in my bag!" She began digging through her back before Chris held up a hand to stop her.
"It's cool, Shae, really. Appreciate the whole nurse-in-training thing you got going, but it's cool. Now hands off the merchandise." Shae smiled and nodded before walking past him to the other campers. "Geez… some of these campers… Well at least they can't get any odder…" The next girl to step onto the deck is a young woman with peach-colored hair done up in loose twintails, wearing a maroon-colored maid's outfit, with striped stockings and a frilly white apron. "…I stand corrected… welcome to camp, Lucy!"
"Thank you, Chris!" she said happily. She smiled excitedly at the other campers as she walks over. "Hello everyone! I'm so excited to be friends with all of you!"
"It's about time Chris hired someone to clean the cabins," Duncan whispered to Owen. The two snickered under their breath before Duncan received a swift elbow to the ribs from Steve. "Hey what's your damage?"
"What did I say about respect?" Steve and Duncan got up in each other's face before a familiar voice reached Duncan's ears.
"Come now, Duncan, the game hasn't even started and you're already fighting someone? Are you still so set on proving your villainous side?" Duncan's eyes widened as he turned to the newest arrival.
"You…" Chris laughed.
"Yep! Him! The winner of Total Drama World Tour, it's Alejandro!" The handsome Spaniard stepped off the boat and strode over to the others.
"Hola, friends. It's an honor to be playing with you all. Duncan, Owen, it's wonderful to see you again!" Alejandro said with a sly smile. Owen gave Alejandro a bone-crushing hug.
"HEY, AL! It's great to see you!" Owen cheered happily. Duncan narrowed his eyes.
"Yeah, Al, it's good to see you again…" the delinquent sneered. The next to arrive was a tall, lanky girl with a large gray t-shirt, black shorts, sneakers, and a black headband holding back her long blonde hair.
"Joy!" Chris cheered happily.
"There is none," Joy droned as she stepped off the boat and walked straight past Chris.
"…I hate it when they come pre-broken," Chris grumbled, furrowing his brow. Joy was followed by a young man with spiky black hair and a green t-shirt with a microphone on it, tan shorts, and sandals. "Bruno, my man! What's up?"
"Yo Chris, what's up? It's good to be here!" Bruno grinned. "Wow look at this place! Great place to work out some new material!" He grinned, his green eyes sparkling. He jogged over to the others as the next boat pulled up. This next camper was a very thin girl with pale, almost white skin and lavender hair almost down to her waist, curling at the end and clipped on the left with two black hair clips. She was wearing dark purple gloves, a gray blazer, and a black skirt, with stockings and gray Mary Janes.
"Tsuki! Welcome!" The girl smiled nervously and moved her mouth, but no sound seemed to come out. "Did you say something?" She did the same thing and a very weak voice was heard, but not loud enough to be understood. "Okay I know you're shy but you gotta speak up a bit. You're on TV for Christ's sake."
"I said it's nice to be here…" Tsuki finally mustered, biting her lip in frustration as she pushed past him. Another boat pulled up and another returning contestant showed up.
"And here we have two-time contestant and winner of Total Drama All-Stars*, it's Zoey!" Zoey smiled. "Hey Chris! It's good to be back!" She walked over to the other campers and started introducing herself, ending up beside Alejandro.
"Zoey," Alejandro said with a smile.
"Alejandro," Zoey said flatly.
"How's loverboy? Still keeping Mal away?" Alejandro grinned. Zoey didn't even dignify that with a response. He just grinned and shrugged. "Hopefully that showed you I'm not always looking out just for me." The next boat arrived and a muscular young man with a black hoodie, jeans, running shoes, and a ball cap with a white maple leaf on it showed up.
"Hey Chris! Nice place here!" He said politely. Chris grinned.
"Thanks, Reuben. Glad someone thinks so," Chris jeered, shooting a glare at Isabella. After Reuben came a redheaded woman in a Nirava t-shirt and cargo shorts.
"Sup y'all!" She cheered as she jumped off the boat.
"Roxy! Good to have you!" Chris chest-bumped her as she passed him.
"Yeah bro! What's up dudes?" She shouted as she joined the others. A boat dropped off a man in a blue hoodie, jeans and tennis shoes with shaggy hair and freckles.
"Hudson! Art bro! What's happening man?" Chris greeted before another boat dropped off a young man with a black hooded jacket, blue t-shirt, ripped skinny jeans, and running shoes, and a black beanie. "Gabriel, dude. Good to have you!" Gabriel stood up straight and smiled.
"Good to be here, Chris, and I look forward to serving my teammates and my constituents well," he said with a smile.
"Um… cool? I don't know who your constituents are but whatever sinks your boat bro." Gabriel joined the group as the last boat pulled up and dropped off the smallest competitor, the last returning contestant. "Hey Cameron! Winner of Total Drama Revenge of the Island! Nice to see you in one piece, dude! Not gonna lie, didn't think you were gonna make it after All-Stars, dude."
"Uh, thanks Chris… that's very encouraging…" Cameron said meekly, pushing his glasses further up on his nose. He walked past Chris and joined the group, standing beside Sophie. Chris grinned.
"Alright, looks like that's everyone! In a moment we're gonna pick teams, but in case you don't remember if you need to vent at any time, the outhouse is the Confessional, where you can confess your deepest darkest secrets for the entire world to see. Just figured I'd remind you all. Time to discuss teams. When I call your name, go stand on the beach to the left of the dock." Chris hummed to himself as he thought. "Let's see… Duncan, Steve, Roxy, Froth, Paul, Mary, Cameron, Isabella, Sky, Gabriel, Lain, and Sophie." The group all moved and Chris threw them a rolled up flag. "You guys are one team! From this moment forward, you will be known as the Slammin' Salmon!" Froth unrolled the flag to see a large red fish and smiled from ear to ear.
CONFESSIONAL
Froth: Is this some kind of game? I've never played camp games before! This will be so fun!
Steve: It's looking like a good team so far. A bit eccentric but I'm feeling good about it. The only person I'm wary of is Duncan. I don't trust him one bit.
Duncan: Could our team be any weirder? Between robe boy, gamer girl, and magician's assistant we look like a circus show! And I'm gonna deck that short guy, mark my words. By the way what's with Chris and fish?
Sophie: I mean I guess this is okay…
Froth: Can you hear me? Am I being loud enough? *gets close to the camera* CAN YOU HEAR ME OUTHOUSE?
END CONFESSIONAL
Chris grinned, pulling out a rolled up blue flag. "So that means Alejandro, Joy, Josiah, Bruno, Hudson, Shae, Lucy, Ruby, Owen, Zoey, Reuben, and Tsuki, you guys will be the Battlin' Beavers!" Reuben unfurled the flag to reveal a blue beaver with boxing gloves.
"Alright! A team flag!" Reuben cheered.
CONFESSIONAL
Duncan: Seriously he just barely changed the original team names… I'm starting to think literally anyone would be a better host than Chris
Owen: YES! Beavers! WOO-HOO! This is gonna be awesome!
Alejandro: This should be fun. The team seems filled with competent enough competitors that seem just feeble enough to play like a guitar.
Zoey: I like our team, it should be fun! I don't trust Alejandro, though, I have to keep an eye on him…
Joy: I mean, the team is okay, I guess. Not like any of this matters. It is kinda cool to be on the same team as Alejandro, Zoey, and Owen. I don't trust Alejandro, even though he was right about Mal controlling Mike for most of All-Stars… how did they get the scenes inside Mike's head?
END CONFESSIONAL
"Alright campers, you have your teams," Chris spoke, glancing between the teams. "Now head on over to the cabins and unpack. The cabins are divided in two, girls on one side, guys on the other. Salmon in the East cabin, Beavers in the West!" The campers didn't move. "Like, now. Come on, guys, your first challenge begins in 30! Move, move, move!" He laughed as the team frantically grabbed their bags and made a break for the cabins. "Now the fun part begins… hehehe."
SALMON CABIN – GIRLS SIDE
Sophie nervously stood by the door, watching as her teammates began deciding bunks and talking with one another. Lain saw her from one of the top bunks and waved her over. "Sophie! Over here!" Sophie nervously walked over. "Don't worry, we don't bite," Lain giggled as she jumped down from the top bunk.
"Sorry…" Sophie murmured. "I don't really do well in social situations…" Lain nodded gently, her energy falling gently.
"Yeah I know what you mean, it can be kinda scary… it is a bit nerve wracking…" Lain shook it off. "But that's why we make friends right? Wanna be bunkmates?" Sophie seemed a bit taken off-guard by this. "Oh uh… sure, I guess… I don't really sleep much, I'm usually up playing my 3DS…" Lain shrugged.
"No worries. To each their own." Lain smiled, finally coaxing a smile out of Sophie. Isabella watched this from her top bunk, rolling her eyes.
CONFESSIONAL
Isabella – Look at them all, making friends and trying to be happy. You don't win a game like this by making friends, you have to play dirty… *looks around the outhouse* although I don't ever wanna play THIS dirty.
END CONFESSIONAL
SALMON CABIN – BOYS SIDE
Froth excitedly chatted with Cameron and Steve as he unpacked what few articles of clothing he brought with him. "This is going to be so fun! I've never been to summer camp before! My mom and dad didn't let me go to camp before so I'm excited! I love making new friends!"
"Yeah, it's gonna be a fun time, dude!" Steve said with a smile, claiming the bunk above Froth. "I mean it looks rough on TV but how bad could it be?"
"We're on TV?" Froth asked, confused.
"Yeah… you didn't know?" Cameron asked, confused. "It's a reality show… we're competing for a million dollars…" Froth didn't seem to register this at first.
"It's a big game, buddy," Steve said calmly. Froth's eyes shot open happily.
"Games? I LOVE GAMES!" Duncan rolled his eyes as he unpacked his bag.
CONFESSIONAL
Duncan – I swear to god if it's not one dweeb it's another. This Froth kid looks a few cards short of a full deck, and between him, bubble boy, and mini-muscle I'm gonna snap before the end of this season.
END CONFESSIONAL
"Give it a rest, dude," Duncan sighed as he kicked back in bed. "This isn't a fun game, it's the worst. The only reason any of us are here is for the money. Hell, the only reason I'm here is because I was sent to prison and the warden saw this show as a worse sentence."
"Dude, what the hell happened to you? Why do you have to be such a bully?" Steve asked with a snarl.
"What can I say? I'm a realist, bro." Duncan laced his hands behind his head as Steve jumped down from his bunk and stepped towards Duncan, hand curling into a fist. Gabriel grabbed Steve by the arm, holding him back.
"Come on dude, deep breaths. He's not worth it, getting into a fight this early." Steve closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "I know Duncan can be a bit… abrasive… but falling apart this early on can't be good for our team. We have to stand united."
CONFESSIONAL
Steve – I gotta hand it to Gabriel, dude's a good conflict manager. No one's ever been able to talk me out of a fight before.
Gabriel – The key to good leadership is being calm under pressure and being able to diffuse the situation. If this team wants to be successful we have to work together as a well-oiled machine. A house divided cannot stand.
Froth – The scary guy with green hair is kinda mean but WE GET BUNK BEDS!
END CONFESSIONAL
BEAVER CABIN – BOYS SIDE
Alejandro ran to the cabin before his allies got there, scoping out the cabin and strategically picking a top bunk. "Now if I really want to win this, I have to be where I can see and hear everything." As soon as he placed his bag down, the door swung open and Bruno jogged in. "Hola, amigo!" Alejandro greeted pleasantly. Bruno grinned, throwing his bag on the bunk beneath Alejandro's.
"Yo, Alejandro! What's up, buddy?" Bruno began unpacking as he chatted with Alejandro. "Mind if I take the bottom bunk?"
"Mi casa es su casa, Bruno." Alejandro said with a smile. Bruno grinned.
"Awesome, man! You're not as bad as the shows make you seem sometimes." Alejandro suppressed the urge to scowl and kept up his smile.
"I'm glad someone finally sees it! They like to edit me to be some villain but I'm not that bad! I just play the game, that's all."
"Hey I hear you, man, totally."
CONFESSIONAL
Alejandro – Bruno seems easy enough to play. Might be a smart alliance partner down the line.
Bruno - *shrugs* Yeah I trust Alejandro about as far as I can throw him. But you know, keep your friends close and your enemies closer, you know?
END CONFESSIONAL
Their conversation was interrupted by Owen barreling through the door. "WOO HOO! Alright Beavers! Awesome!" Josiah raced in behind Owen, cartwheeling and backflipping onto a bunk.
"Damn right it's awesome!" Josiah cheered, relaxing in the bunk. "This is gonna be an awesome party!"
"You get me!" Owen grinned, pulling Josiah into a tight hug. "I feel awesome about this!"
"Right on, man!" Bruno grinned. "No Salmon can stop us now!"
BEAVER CABIN – GIRLS SIDE
Shae hummed to herself as she unpacked her copious amounts of medical supplies, setting up a small medical station in the Beaver cabin. Joy rolled her eyes as she walked past her to an open bunk. "What's with the medical junk? It's not like any of this matters. Injury is inevitable." Shae hesitated before smiling and turning to Joy.
"I don't think "inevitable" is the right word," Shae retorted quietly. "I mean sure Chris is a bit sadistic but I have faith that it'll be okay!"
"Such naivete will be your downfall," Joy lamented as she unpacked her bags. Zoey playfully hip-bumped Shae as she climbed up on the bunk above Shae.
"Don't mind her, she'll come around," Zoey chirped. "Trust me, this always seems crazy at first but it gets a lot better. But for real though, that's a lot of medicine." Shae blushed.
"Sorry… I want to be a nurse in the future, and with this show I figured it could be good practice!" Shae giggled nervously.
"Don't they have a medical team here?" Ruby asked from her bunk.
"Uh… kinda?" Zoey replied, seemingly trying to convince herself as much as Ruby. "They have a tent, a rusty first aid kit, and Chef in a nurse's outfit… it's not pretty but I guess that's technically medical." The girls collectively shuddered at the mental image.
FLAGPOLE OUTSIDE CABINS
A warning klaxon sounded throughout the camp moments later, prompting the 24 campers to run out of the cabins. "Time's up, campers!" Chris's voice echoed from the speakers atop the flagpole. "Time for your next challenge! Get changed into your swimwear and meet me at the top of the hill in five!"
"The top of the hill?" Sky asked.
"Our swimwear?" Hudson asked.
"Yeah… did I stutter?" Chris asked via intercom. "Time is wasting, campers." Chris's voice faded as they all looked at each other nervously.
"You think it's gonna be like before?" Owen asked, knees shaking. Duncan rolled his eyes.
"After all this show has put us through, this is nothing if it is." Duncan disappeared into the cabin to get changed.
"What do you mean?" Lucy asked Owen. Mary and Paul walked up behind her.
"You don't think it's gonna be dangerous, do you?" Paul asked nervously, glancing at his twin sister.
"I hope it is!" Mary cheered. "Come on, Paul, live a little!"
"Oh trust me," Owen urged. "You don't want to go through what we went through."
"What did you go through?" Sophie asked nervously.
FIVE MINUTES LATER – TOP OF THE CLIFF
All twenty-four campers were gathered at the edge of a cliff overlooking shark-infested waters, with a proud looking Chris standing before them. "Good timing, campers!" Chris greeted with an evil grin. "Since this is a celebration of Total Drama, I figured I'd tweak the first ever TDI challenge. Who's up for cliffdiving into a sea full of hungry sharks?"
TO BE CONTINUED IN CHAPTER TWO
AUTHOR'S NOTE: And here we have it! Total Drama Legacy has begun! Sorry to cut the first "episode" in half but the introductions alone were five pages in Word, so I'm gonna get into the first challenge, first bit of drama, and first elimination ceremony in the next chapter. Congratulations to everyone who got in and to everyone who didn't I apologize. There were a lot of great applicants, so if you didn't get in it's not because I didn't like your character. To those who did get in, if you have any issues with the way I've portrayed your characters please let me know in a PM. But for anything else if you liked it, leave a favorite and a review. Positive or constructive criticism? Leave it in a review Thank you all for reading, thank you again for the submissions, and stick around to see how I can warp the original shark-diving challenge in the next exciting chapter of Total Drama Legacy. Also forgive me if your character spoke very little or not at all, it's difficult to fit everyone into one introduction chapter. I promise everyone will get their spotlight in turn. Scouts honor!
*- I know Zoey isn't technically the "canon" winner of Total Drama All-Stars and that Mike won in the original release of the show, but I personally like Zoey a little bit better, and I feel that there's not much I can do with Mike following the arc with his personalities and Mal coming to an end in All-Stars. That and if I just went with the "canon" winners there would be five guys and one girl, so figured why not?
