I still don't own TDI or Xiao Lin Showdown. I'm sure you recognize that our known characters that are from Xiao Lin Showdown are all older, and I did this on purpose. There will be showdowns, but that will all be later down the road - much later down the road. I'm still working out the plots, and as of Chapter 25 I still haven't been able to work in the Shang Gong Wu yet.
"Welcome back to Total Drama Island!" Chris said happily, his excitement more than evident in his voice and posture. "It's time to meet our campers, all of whom will be dressed as TV show or movie characters of their choice over the course of their stay. We told them they'd all be staying at this five-star resort, so if they seem a little TO'd, that's probably why."
He watched as a yacht drives by and drops off the first camper, a geeky-looking boy with chocolate brown hair that was in a tousled but trained mess. His eyes were blue yet hidden behind large square glasses and he was about five foot four, and Clay estimated that he was about one hundred to one-hundred and forty pounds. The boy wore a green T-Shirt, blue jeans, an Adventure Time backpack, and an Adventure time hat, and he even had an Adventure Time sword on his waist. Jack now noticed that the brown-haired male had braces, and also was a bit of a geek like Sarah had been at that age.
"Bartholomew! What's up?" Chris asked.
"Oh my gosh! Chris, it's so good to meet you! What time is it?" he asked excitedly as he hugged the show host.
"Um… Adventure Time?" Chris guessed as he cringed from the contact, and the young teen beamed.
"Yes! Thank you! You're so awesome! How are we going to be sorted into our cabins?" the boy rattled quickly just before getting off of him. "Wow, you're a lot shorter in real life."
"Uh… thanks?" Chris guessed as he began brushing himself off.
The second boat drove off just then, revealing a female who stood at five feet, had on an orange shirt with the words "Holy Hippogriffs" on it, blue jeans, a large black jacket, and some sneakers. Her hair was in dozens of tiny braids as only African Americans can do while putting it up in a high ponytail and still having the braids fall down to the middle of her back. She carried two duffel bags over to Chris before putting both down.
"DJ!" Chris greeted with a wave.
"Yo! Chris McLean! How's it going?" she replied hitting high-fives with him. "You sure you got the right place here? Where's the hot tub at?"
"Yo, dog, this is it: Camp Wawanakwa!" Chris smiled while doing the classical pointing down for emphasis.
DJ frowned before picking her bags back up and trudging over to Bartholomew and putting her things down next to his.
"Hm. Looked a lot different on the application form," she muttered.
"Hey, Edward!" Chris greeted as the camera showed a boy with jet-black hair with strange streaks of a dark grey in them, with his skin a slight cocoa color. His face resembled that of a hyena somewhat, and his bag was packed for one, naturally. It had leopard skin on it, to Clay's interest and amusement, and the boy himself had eyes that were a hazel that resembled that of a feline's yet a canine's as well. His fangs were longer than most people's, and his ears were pointed like an elf's, giving Chris the strange sensation that he was in front of a human version of the Egyptian god Anubis. Clay was smirking in pride at the newcomer, and Kimiko was gasping in shock as she saw the young man.
"You mean we're staying here?" he asked Chris as he stepped over.
"No, you're staying here," Chris said pointing to him. "My crib is in airstream with AC, that-away."
"I did not sign up for this," Edward growled angrily, reminding Chris even more of Anubis.
"Actually, you did," Chris said holding up a copy for the forums. Edward takes it and tears it multiple times into a bunch of different pieces. "The great thing about lawyers is – they make lots of copies!"
"You can forget this! I'm not staying here!" Edward growled as he picked up his things to leave.
"Cool. But I hope you can swim, cause your ride just left," Chris said as the camera showed a boat going towards the shores.
"Jerk," Edward muttered, playing the I-hate-the-world card that he had planned to do.
The next one to arrive was a female who was having a great time and partying on the boat ride to the island. Her hair was a dark orange and almost red or brown, and she wore a blood-red cowgirl hat. Her clothes were the human personification of Jessie from Toy Story 2, and Chris was smirking as she did a couple of flips off of the boat. The suitcase was thrown off next to her, and she held up a thumb.
"Chris McLean!" she smiled. "It's an honor to meet you!"
"Jessie," he smiled making fake guns. "Or should I call you Bazooka Jane? Welcome to the island, man."
"Thanks, man," she smiled back as she held up a thumbs-up sign.
"They say 'man' one more time, I'm going to puke," Edward growled with his arms crossed over his chest. DJ and Bartholomew were silent as Edward silently fumed and Chris and Jessie hit another high-five.
"Everyone, this is Logan," Chris said holding an arm out to the newcomer.
This male was in brown cowboy boots, skinny blue jeans, a brown shirt, a red undershirt, had a red bandanna across his neck, and Clay noticed that this newcomer was about seventeen years old, and had a sort of blank look in his eyes.
"Hey," Logan greeted. "Dude, you look so familiar."
"I'm Chris McLean," Chris said putting his wrists on his hips, and the blonde got a confused look in his eyes. "The host of the show!"
"Oh," Logan said still mildly confused as he walked off to the others, who now realized that he was the human incarnation of a much younger Stinky Pete from Toy Story 2.
"Haden," Chris grinned as Bartholomew ran up to him.
This newcomer was wearing dark sunglasses, had black messy hair, and wore average teenage clothes, yet behaved like a stuck-up brat. His eyes were also hazel, and he reminded the others of a strange combination between Edward Cullen and Count Dracula.
"Hey! Looks like we're your new friends for the next eight weeks!" Bartholomew greeted excitedly, accidentally sending a small amount of saliva out because of his braces. Haden simply cringed away in disgust as much as humanly possible before a new sound was heard, one of a rock and roll song.
Another boat arrived, this one carrying another female onto the island. She had long black hair with a large amount of neon green highlights. Her eyes were a piercing blue even in a glare, and she had three piercing on each ear, a piercing on her lower lip, her left eyebrow, and her nose. She wore a spiked collar, and an extremely dark glare as she held one foot on an amplifier that the music was coming from, leaning onto the raised knee with the elbow of the same side. She wore a black T-shirt with a white skull on it and a white long-sleeved shirt underneath that, blue jeans, and red sneakers. The glare on her face was obvious from miles away, and it was clear that she wasn't one to cross as she threw her duffel bag onto the dock. But on her waist was what was clearly a sword, and the others swallowed wondering what she was supposed to be cosplaying.
"Delilah, dudette!" Chris greeted, sensing what was coming even though he had a smile on his face. "Nice costume off of Bleach, even though you could work on it a little, though."
"I don't like… surprises," she said darkly as she held up a fist.
"Yeah, your parole officer warned me about that, man. He also told me to give him a holler anytime and have you returned to Juvie," Chris said holding up his index fingers and pointing at him before crossing his arms and looking at her warily.
"Okay, then," she smiled calmly after taking a deep breath, and she then walked calmly over to the others. "Meet you by the campfire, handsome."
"Drop dead, you goob!" Haden said in disgust. "I'm calling my parents! You cannot make me stay here!"
A boat honked a few times, and the others turned to find a female surfing behind it happily.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Tyler!" Chris announced, gesturing towards the new female.
She wore all red, had chocolate brown hair, and was waving just before she lost her balance as a result. She tripped, fell, spiraled three times before ramming against the dock, flying over the heads of all but one of the other arrived contestants, and doing a nosedive into the pile of luggage. A suitcase went flying upwards and landed in the lake, getting Haden soaking wet.
"Oooh!" he growled angrily. "My shoes!"
"Wicked wipeout, man!" Chris yelled.
Tyler moved her fist out of the top of the luggage and held up a thumbs-up sign as a slight trumpet fare started playing. The other females on the island smiled and did happy thumbs-up in return, smiling at their fellow woman's antics against the male. Chris started snickering and trying not to laugh just before a loud rasping sort of sound was heard, and the others turned to find a female with long black hair, glasses shielding emerald eyes. She carried a piano, two bags, and wore a green T-shirt underneath a red one with a lion on it and Khaki pants.
"Welcome to camp, Harriet," Chris smiled holding out his arms.
"So you mean to tell me that camp is really at a yucky summer camp and not some big stage or something?" she asked.
"you got it," Chris said pointing at her with a smile.
"Yes! That is so much more favorable to my skills!" Harriet smiled as she fist-pumped calmly, and Chris only grimaces as she walks over to the others.
"Contestant number nine is Trinity," Chris said gesturing towards a female who was walking onto the docks.
She had long dark hair that was a strange combination between black and shiny dark-green that was almost black. In fact, it swirled outwards every so often like her father's did, he noticed, and he also noticed that she was wearing the armor that her father had gotten her when she was young, but simply updated and upgraded. Apparently he knew where to find her to send the updates, and it was now that Chris noticed the guitar in her right hand, her saber on her left hip and her nun chucks on her right hip.
"Nice to meet you," Trinity smiled evilly, showing a mouth full of pearly-white teeth and canines that resembled both Edward's and an alligator's somewhat. "I saw you on that figure skating show. Nice work."
"Hey, thanks gator," he smiled as they hit each other's fists together in greeting. "I knew I rocked that show!"
"I saw that!" Bartholomew laughed. "One of the guys dropped his partner on her head!"
"I wish someone would drop me on my head," Logan said wistfully, and Chris and most of the others snickered and sweat-dropped at the same time as Harriet began to pick her nose while she thought nobody was looking.
"Alright, our surfer boy," Chris greeted as a male stepped off the boat. "Brett!"
This new male carried a red surfboard covered in Pokemon with a completely different set of pokemon on the back. he wore a cap just like Ash's from the original Kanto region, and he even wore the matching green gloves to go with it. he wore a black T-shirt underneath a blue jacket that had white short-sleeves, blue jeans that were cuffed at the bottom once, a belt to hold it up with six dots on it as if to hold pokeballs on it, and he even had a Pikachu doll with him.
"Nice board," Delilah scoffed. "this ain't Malibu, buddy."
"I thought we were going to the beach," Brett shrugged, and Chris noticed that the young man's hair was jet black and poking out from underneath the hat that he wore.
"Alright! That makes-!" Chris began loudly and happily, but was cut off by Brett's surfboard conking him in the head. "Ow! Darn it! that hurt!"
"Hey! I'm Jessie," the young cowgirl said smiling at him.
"What's up?" Brett asked as he swung around to face him, and the others had to dodge backwards or down to avoid from being hit as well.
"Watch the board, Ash Ketchum!" Harriet snapped angrily as she pointed a fake wand at the fake pokemon trainer.
"Hey, I'm Bartholomew," he said waving, and Brett turned to the other male, swinging his board yet again and forcing the others to dodge again.
"Our next camper…" Chris winced as he continued rubbing the sore spot on his head, "Is Misty!"
"Did you get my memo about my life-threatening allergies?" she asked as she carried a red bag on her back, a bag at her side, and a Togepi doll ahead. Her hair was orange, and she was in a perfect Misty Cosplay aside from the fact that her shirt and shorts were longer than the character's in order to keep herself completely modest, as well as her red suspenders were handing on her legs instead of holding the shorts up.
"I'm sure someone did," Chris said shrugging.
"Good," she said as she walked over. "Fancy meeting an Ash Ketchum here. Where's Brock?"
"No clue," Brett smiled as he shrugged. "Have you seen any other cosplayers from Pokemon?"
"Believe it or not, I am," Edward said shrugging, and they turned to him with raised eyebrows. "You'll see what I mean if you're a reader."
"Ah, Anubis," Brett said nodding. "So, you're cosplaying Jessie off of Toy Story, right?"
"What are you talking about? I always look like this, ever since I was in diapers," Jessie said confused. "I don't even know what you're talking about. They have stories about toys?"
"Oh god," Haden said face-palming.
"What's up ya'll?! DeShawn is in the house!" an African American male yelled from the boat with his arms in a triumphant Y shape.
DeShawn was bulky and muscular, but his hair was hidden by a bandana. He wore a white plad T-shirt with red stripes, blue jeans, and sneakers. His things were in large leather suitcases. He hit a high-five with Chris as he passed, and Harriet stared at him in shock and awe.
"I've never seen someone so big and loud as you before," she said awed.
"Excuse me?! What did you just say to me?" DeShawn demanded, "Oh no you didn't! I'll show you big, cause you have not seen anything yet!"
