The moment you've all been waiting for... it's the first chapter of Total Drama Destino! Hopefully it was worth the wait and the time it took to find the perfect OCs. Fun Fact: Destino is Spanish for "Destiny" Anyway, have fun reading!
Chris is sitting in a chair, enjoying the sunlight, and turns to look at the camera.
"Oh hi! I didn't see you there. My name's Chris McLean, 134 time Gemmie winner, and owner of the world's best face," he says, grinning and showing off his perfectly white teeth.
He grunts as he gets up from the chair, and stretches. "But what I'm most known for is hosting a special show called Total Drama. Recently, I was told my producers that my show was "Too dangerous" for any known country in the world." He pulls out a map, and points to a barely visible speck. "But since this island hasn't been claimed by any country yet, I was told that I could host Destino Island here. So get ready for the biggest, baddest reality TV comeback you've ever seen, because this is: TOTAL! DRAMA! DESTINO ISLAND!" He yells, his voice echoing over the entire island.
Chris walks to an large open field, where he continues explaining the game.
"For this season, I selected 24 contestants to compete for a large prize of 1 million dollars," he says, pulling a shiny metal briefcase from behind his back. He pops the lid of the case, showing off countless stacks of money. "Each of these contestants is coming here expecting to achieve something, whether it be winning the million, hooking up with someone, or just making a few friends. Speaking of the contestants, here they come now."
Just as he said, a large black jet descends from the sky, landing gracefully in the field next to Chris. A ramp opens up from the bottom, landing on the ground with a soft thump. "One at a time, all of you!" Chris calls up.
The first down the ramp is a slightly muscular boy who stands a bit taller than Chris. He has black hair and light skin, and is wearing a green shirt emblazoned with the words "I don't care" in yellow.
He looks around. "Well Chris, you've lied to us yet again. I liked the free jet ride though."
"Thank you, John," Chris says, a bit annoyed. "Yeah. Well, see you," John says. He makes a move to go back in the plane, but Chris grabs him by the back of the shirt and pulls him onto the field. John crosses his arms and waits for the other contestants to be introduced.
Another teen comes down the ramp. This time, it's a Japanese-American girl wearing a plain white T-shirt with a plaid one over it, and jeans that looked like they had been ripped up. She has dirty blonde hair, some of it which is covered by a red cap.
"Hey Chris!" She smiles, and Chris high-fives her. "Welcome to Destino Island, Kylie," he says, and Kylie walks past him to join John.
"Pretty nice place, huh?" She asks. John shrugs. "There's no hotel, and a one in twenty-four chance of winning the million. We might as well just fly home already."
Confessionals:
Kylie: "What a downer! Nobody joins Total Drama thinking they're not going to win."
John: He shrugs. "I've seen reality TV before. Normal people like us never get far."
A tall, Australian teen walks down next, almost hitting his head on the bottom of the jet. "Nice place," He comments, looking around.
He's wearing a gray muscle tee and black cargo shorts, and his black hair is styled into a short ponytail.
"Ace! My man!" Chris greets, shaking hands with the new arrival.
Ace slightly smiles, and he walks over to join Kylie and John just as the next teen leaves the jet.
It's a Spanish-Canadian girl with dark brown hair that goes down to her shoulders. She's wearing a light-blue dress shirt, and khaki capris. She looks at all the contestants, then pulls out a small notepad and writes a few things.
"Sarah! How are you?" Chris asks, smiling. "I'm good. Thanks Chris," She says, slightly returning the smile.
Ace stares at her, but when she notices he quickly averts his gaze.
Confessionals:
Ace: "Man, Sarah is hot! She's got great eyes, and she seems pretty smart." He chuckles.
Sarah: "I'm doing this show to help out my family. I have a boyfriend and a kid, and we could use a little extra money. I figure since I know every strategy in the book, I've got a pretty good shot at winning!"
The five turn their attention to the next contestant, a very short American girl with blonde hair. She's wearing a blue hoodie and grey cargo pants.
She looks around. "This is Total Drama, right?"
Chris lets out a small laugh. "Yes Tod, it is."
"Well, where's the mansion then?" Tod asks.
Chris is about to answer, but John gets to it first. "There isn't one. As usual, Chris lied to his contestants in order to earn money."
The host shoots John a glare, but eventually nods.
Just then, a girl is pushed out of the jet, stumbling a bit before she regains her balance. She has long brown hair in a side plait, and is wearing a black five nights at Freddy's T-shirt along with denim jeans and black converse shoes.
"H...hi guys. I'm Evie," she says softly. Nobody pays attention to her. "I...I guess I'll just go stand over here then." She walks past Chris and joins the others, standing next to Ace.
A guy comes down next. He's wearing a black and white striped shirt along with completely black pants and a top hat with a skull pin in the middle.
Chris looks at a card, then back at the newcomer. "Zero? Is that seriously your real name?" The teen just nods. Chris just sighs and points to the growing group of contestants.
Zero attempts to stand next to John, but the latter just pushes him away. "Jeez, they allow everyone on Total Drama now, don't they?" He mutters, not caring if anyone hears.
The next one to step out of the jet is a guy with shaggy green and black hair that covers his eyes. He's wearing a baggy black hoodie with ripped jeans and black high top tennis shoes.
"Adam!" Chris smiles. "What's up, my man!" He holds up his hand for a high five, but Adam ignores it and walks past him to join the group.
Confessionals:
Adam: "Alright. Let me tell you something right now. You can call me a rebel, a punk, a criminal. But you cannot call me a Duncan clone. I will kill you if you compare me to that softie." He growls, clenching his hand into a fist.
Tod: "My strategy on this show? Simple. Find the best player and stick with them throughout the season. They'll carry me to the top." She says confidently.
Another contestant steps out. This time it's a girl with black hair in a ponytail, and a tank top that's equally dark. She's also wearing gray jeans and black boots.
"Hey Katarina! How was the flight?" Chris asks. "Don't act like you actually care, Chris." Katarina says, kicking the ridiculously photogenic host in the shins.
She goes to stand with the others, but they quickly step away from her. "What? Am I too hardcore for you?" She growls. She shoots them all a menacing glare, and they back away even further.
The next person to come down the ramp is a messy, ash blonde haired guy. He's wearing a brown hoodie, dark blue jeans, and white and blue tennis shoes.
He sees the already divided cast and sighs. "I guess this season is already off to a great start." John chuckles, and the newcomer walks over to him. "Name's Graham." He says, high-fiving John.
"Thanks a lot Graham! You just ruined my introduction! Happy?" Chris scolds, staring at the teen. Graham smirks, and Chris turns away to see yet another person walking down.
This one is a Hawaiian guy with red, wavy hair, who has on an olive green shirt and blue jeans. He also has a camera strapped around his neck, which he immediately uses to take a picture of Chris.
"Hey Chris! Smile!" He says, snapping another picture. Chris smiles for one more picture, then points to the group of contestants. "Marc. Over there. Now." He demands.
Marc reluctantly walks over to the crowd, where he stands in anticipation for the next contestant.
Fortunately, he doesn't have to wait long, as a slim girl with silvery-blonde hair sets foot on the island, taking in her surroundings. She is wearing a long sleeved white top, short shorts, and hot pink shoes.
"This is it Chris? I expected a mansion," She scoffs. "We're on a budget here, Cindy! Do you know how hard it was to find an island that wasn't inhabited by flesh-eating cannibals?" Chris yells.
"Whatever," Cindy says. She attempts to join the group, but is quickly blinded by a flash from Marc's camera. She walks over to him and smacks the camera out of his hands. "Jeez! I didn't even have my makeup on yet!" She protests.
Confessionals:
Cindy: "Yeah. Unauthorized paparazzo? Not exactly my favorite thing in the world.
Marc: "She better have not damaged the lens."
Marc picks the camera off the ground and sweeps the dirt off of it as the next contestant arrives at the bottom.
This one is an African-American girl with thick, messy black hair that comes past her shoulders. She is wearing an aqua T-shirt with high-waisted shorts. She also has black vans with white ankle socks.
"Hi Chris! Great to be here!" She says, smiling. Chris beams. "Thank you, Petunia. You can go stand over there" He says, pointing to the group behind him. Petunia walks in and stands with the cast as another teen comes out of the plane.
She has long, curly brown hair, and is wearing a green long sleeved shirt, blue skinny jeans, and black sneakers. She looks over the contestants, shaking her head at them.
"Melissa! How was the trip?" Chris asks. "Horrible. Just like you." She says, walking past him and joining the group. "What's with all the hate? It's not like I've done anything wrong." Chris says, looking confused.
He looks back to see an American guy carrying a surfboard. The teen has short blonde hair, an open light blue T-shirt, and dark blue shorts. He also has a tattoo of a broken heart on his inner wrist. He walks up to Chris, and the two shake hands. "It's awesome to be on Total Drama, Chris," He says. "Awesome to have you here, Liam." Chris says. He points Liam to the contestants, and the surfer joins them.
The next contestant is a guy who has short black hair and glasses hanging around his neck. He's wearing a dark green shirt with the omega symbol, and dark blue denim pants along with black converse shoes. "Hey Norman! How was the trip?" Chris asks. "Good, thank you." Norman says, slightly smiling.
He joins the others and stands next to Kylie. "Nice to meet you." He greets. "Are you flirting with me?" She asks. "No. I'm just interested in making acquaintances and broadening my horizons." He says.
Confessionals:
Petunia: "I mean, I'm just honored to be on the show! I can't believe I was picked out of so many different people!"
Liam: "Chris is actually kind of cool when you meet him. I just hope he doesn't go too hard on us."
Another teen comes down the ramp. This one is a slightly chubby guy who has short, light-brown hair and glasses. He has on a black Star Wars shirt, blue basketball shorts, and black sneakers.
"Tim, right?" Chris asks. The newcomer nods. "Niiiice," Chris says, smiling.
Tim moves past Chris and stands with the new cast as another contestant comes out of the jet.
She is a Hispanic girl with long, black, wavy hair. She's wearing a large red sweater and a plain black shirt with leather shorts and black combat boots.
Chris looks up at her, then down at a sheet of paper. "Ty-Tyrla? Is that how you say it?" He asks. Tyrla gives him a thumbs up, then moves to the back of the group.
The next one to come out is a girl with dark purple hair who slides down the ramp, laughing. She gets up, cheering. "Woo! That was fun!" She says. She has a lot of piercings, and is wearing a long-sleeved black crop top, dark blue denim short shorts, and boots. "Hey dudes! Farrah here!" The girl greets.
"Whatever, just stand over there," Chris says, pointing to the ever growing conglomeration of contestants.
Yet another girl comes down the ramp. She has platinum blonde and green hair, and has on a white shirt with the radioactivity symbol on it, a black beanie, skinny jeans and red converse shoes. She's also carrying a suitcase containing a bass guitar.
"Laurie! How are you feeling?" Chris asks. "I'm good, thanks you." Laurie smiles. "Okay. Just stand over there," Chris says, motioning behind himself. She joins the group, and a guy walks out next.
He has black hair, and is wearing a black jacket, blue shorts and pants alike, and gray Adidas shoes. "Hello, fellow Total Drama fans," He says. "My name is Nathan, and I am please to make your acquaintance. I hope we can all have an enjoyable time on this island, and best of luck to you all."
He squirms his way into the group, where he waits for another teen to arrive.
Confessionals:
Tim: "My forte is programming. I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do on an island with no technology, but I better prove myself to my team."
Farrah: "I just love the wilderness. I feel like it's calling me, you know?" She lets out another laugh.
Another contestant comes out, looking around. She has short, curly blonde hair, and is wearing a white dress with cherries printed on it.
"Hi Chris!" She waves, smiling. "Hi Willam," Chris mutters, looking uncomfortable. He simply gestures behind him, and Willam starts to mingle with the cast.
Meanwhile, Sarah beckons to Katarina, and the bully comes over. "Yeah? What do you want me for?" Katarina asks. "I'm just suspicious. Willam is a guy's name, isn't it?" Sarah whispers. "So?" Katarina responds. "I'm just saying, I don't think Willam is a girl at all. I just wanted to confide in you because you seem like the most trustworthy person right now."
Confessionals:
Sarah: "No way do I trust Katarina. Her huge temper does put a target on her back, and she'd be a good vote shield. Whatever helps me stay longer." She shrugs.
Katarina: "I think Sarah has a point. Besides, I've got her trust already. Allies are pretty useful in this game."
A girl walks out this time. She has long brown hair in a low ponytail, and is wearing a dark gray hoodie along with a navy blue T-shirt, flare denim jeans, and white sneakers. She is also carrying a suitcase full of books, and she stops by Chris to greet him.
"Hey Brooke! Welcome to the island!" Chris says, holding up his hand. Brooke high-fives him, then joins the group as the final contestant exits the jet.
He is a Spanish guy with spiky dark black hair and a lip piercing. He's wearing a red shirt that says "Lone Wolf," along with dark black cargo shorts and white and black sneakers. He enters the crowd, then turns towards Chris.
"That concludes your introductions!" Chris announces, having made sure the jet was empty. "Now, I'm going to explain the rules of the game. Every day, you campers must compete in a challenge, of which there is a wide variety. If your team loses the challenge, they will have to vote out one of their members. Who can never come back. Ever!" He says, throwing his hands up in the air. "To win the million, you have to be the last contestant left standing."
He pulls a table out in front of him, which has 3 golden statues modeled to look like him. "These are the immunity statues. They will nullify all votes against you, forcing the person with the second most votes to go home. However, you can only play this before the results of the votes have been revealed. No more of that last minute stuff. People get bored of that." He finishes.
"Now then. Any questions?" He asks. The teens just stare at him.
"Okay then. Your first challenge is to find the center of the island. There you will be separated into teams. Chris looks around. "The center is about... there!" He says, pointing North. "Now go!" He yells. The contestants run forward, some at the front, and some stragglers left in the back. Chris chuckles. "Just like old times."
As soon as they enter the forest, John slows down and grabs Graham's arm.
"Why'd we stop? We had the lead!" Graham asks. "Because now is the perfect time to talk strategy. Alliances are important in this game." John responds. "Besides, you're probably the only normal person on this island besides me." "That's true," Graham smiles, and the two laugh.
Sarah jogs past the two, with Ace following her. He finally catches up and runs beside her. "Hey." He greets. "...Hello?" Sarah says, raising an eyebrow.
Confessionals:
Ace: "Dang it! I'm gonna have to step up my game if I want to score."
Tod notices Cindy in front of her, and moves ahead to talk to her. "Cindy... I was wondering if you wanted to be in an alliance?" Tod offers.
"And why exactly would I want to team up with you?" Cindy asks.
"Because you need me. You wouldn't last a day against these people," Tod reasons, pointing to Katarina.
Cindy pretends to consider. "Okay," She finally agrees.
Confessionals
Cindy: "This is great. It's only my first day and people are already begging to be with me. Just the way it should be.
Marc notices Petunia walking next to him, and he moves closer towards her.
"Want me to help you carry that?" He asks, gesturing to Petunia's luggage.
"Sure," She says, handing him her bag. "But why?" Marc shrugs. "I guess I'm just a nice guy."
He keeps his pace with her, and the two start to talk, occasionally laughing.
Meanwhile, Timothy is lagging quite a bit behind, and Willam easily passes him. "Come on! Move it!" She encourages.
"I...can't," He pants. "I'm too tired."
"Oh come on! You can do better than this!" She says. taking Timothy's hand and pulling him forward.
They move past Tyrla, who has long since given up running and is now content with walking at the back of the pack. Evie strolls up, and Tyrla turns to her. "Wait!" Tyrla shouts. Evie turns around and comes back to Tyrla, walking with her.
"What is it?" Evie asks, looking around.
"I...I need a friend." Tyrla says.
"What are you talking about? Nobody put you up to this, right?" Evie responds. She looks left and right again, just to check.
"No! ...No. I just wanted to be friends with you. Isn't that what people do? They ask to be friends?" Tyrla asks.
"Well, I'm just as clueless as you are," Evie admits.
The two girls laugh, and continue walking together.
Norman runs after Kylie, struggling to keep up.
"Please consider my offer!" He pleads. Kylie just looks ahead and keeps running, while Norman stops to catch his breath.
Confessionals:
Norman: "I really want to make her acquaintance. I really do. But she keeps on turning me down."
Kylie: "I feel bad for doing that. What if he really did want to be friends?" She shrugs. "Better safe than sorry."
Brooke steps into a clearing to see a large TV screen, and Chris smiling.
"Congratulations, Brooke! You have reached the center first!" He says.
"I...I did?" She asks, smiling.
Zero rushes in next, looking up at the TV then down at Chris.
"Zero! You've reached the center second! You've... almost won..." Chris says.
Soon after, Sarah and Ace reach the center, followed by Adam and Katarina. "Aw, what? I didn't get here first?" Adam says.
"No." Chris plainly states.
Farrah, Kylie, and Norman also reach the middle, where they are greeted by Chris, who looks back to see Petunia, Marc, and Liam trailing close behind.
Willam drags Timothy into the clearing, the latter sweating heavily. "Please... don't make me do that ever again," Timothy pleads.
Melissan, Nathan, and Andrew also reach the center, along with Laurie, Cindy and Tod.
Following those four are Evie and Tyrla, who look disappointed that they came so late.
Finally, John and Graham reach the middle. "John and Graham, you two have arrived last." Chris says dramatically. "Does that mean we're eliminated?" Graham asks, a hint of worry in his voice. "No. It means you'll be shamed by your friends and family for the rest of eternity. You get to stay on the island though."
Confessionals:
Graham: He shrugs. "Works for me."
"Now that you're all here, I'm going to introduce the teams." Chris says pulling up a small remote and pressing a button on it.
The huge screen above him powers on, and six boxes appear on it, pictures spinning rapidly inside. A smaller box appears above, spinning slightly slower. "There will be four teams, each with six of you. These will be determined by the random number generator on that large television. The teams will also have an equal number of boys and girls, but the leader of the team will be highlighted in yellow. Any questions? No? Let's begin," Chris finishes, pressing the button again.
The boxes slow down, and the first six appear with a picture of a volcano above them.
"Sarah, Ace, Melissa, Andrew, Willam, and Tyrla. You are now Team Volcan!" Chris says. Sarah's picture is highlighted.
Ace elbows Sarah. "Pretty cool that we're on the same team, right?" He asks. She just pushes him away, leaving him confused.
Chris picks up the remote again, and the boxes become a blur once more. Finally, they stop, with a picture of a tidal wave above them.
"Petunia, Brooke, Zero, Katarina, John, and Marc. You have become Team Marea!" Chris announces, with John's picture highlighted.
Again, the boxes become a blur, the remainder of the contestants looking on in anticipation. They stop, and the six are shown with a hurricane above them.
"Cindy, Tod, Adam, Laurie, Liam, and Nathan. You have been selected to become Team Huracan." Tod's picture is now filled with yellow.
Confessionals:
Tod: She is hyperventilating. "I can't be leader! I have NO idea what to do! This is why I was going to follow Cindy!"
Chris presses the button a final time, and the boxes instantly switch, showing the final six with a picture of an earthquake above them.
"This leaves Graham, Farrah, Norman, Timothy, Evie, and Kylie to become Team Terremoto," Chris finishes. Timothy's picture is yellow.
"Now let's get to the beach. It's time for your first challenge," Chris says.
Teams:
Team Volcan: (Ace, Andrew, Melissa, Sarah, Tyrla, and Willam)
Team Marea: (Brooke, John, Katarina, Marc, Petunia, and Zero)
Team Huracan: (Adam, Cindy, Laurie, Liam, Nathan, and Tod)
Team Terremoto: (Evie, Farrah, Graham, Kylie, Norman, and Timothy)
And that's the character introductions! (Sorry if they seem a little rushed.) School is kicking my butt, but I'm doing my best to update. Tell me how I played your character, and who you like and dislike! (You don't have to if you don't want to) Also, don't worry if I haven't set up anything yet. Relationships WILL develop over time. But yeah! That concludes the first episode, and I hope you enjoyed it!
