So, welcome everyone to the (second) reupload where the Act series all began! Keep in mind that this story is five years old so expect it to be very cringe. But if you came here to see how the Act series is like, (especially if you came here from Act V due to wanting to know its origin) well here it is! I'm cringing with this fic on my part, but it's getting a remake (Act V) so I guess I shouldn't worry about it. T_T
Day #1 – Musimental Theater
It was a beautiful day at Musimental Island, a quite peaceful island that was located in the sea between Europe and North America. Both Candela and Don were at the backstage of the Musimental Theater in the island's small city while Chris and Chef were out on the streets waiting for the contestants. Chris and Chef were both dressed in a black shirt, black pants, and black shoes.
"Tell me, why do I always have to be with you?" Chris asked. "And in fact, this is the most ridiculous costume I've worn since the previous three seasons!"
"Chill your jets, Chris. You're still a host anyways. Candela just sounded a bit goofy in the casting call." Chef patted him in the back. "And besides, you've got me, Don, and Candela with ya."
Chris scoffed at his last comment.
"Let's go see how the other two are doing.
Meanwhile, in the theater, Don was peeking out from the curtain. The seats were all occupied as he gasped in shock.
"Where are those people?" Don asked. "The show starts in fifteen minutes and we're gonna be late!"
"Who knows, they're coming here right now." Candela replied and exited the room.
The co-host wore the same costume as the other two but Candela had on the same black shirt, a black skirt that reached above her knees, black leggings, and black flats. Her black hair was also tied up in a messy low bun.
The door opened.
"Where are the contestants?" Don asked. "They should be here by now!"
"They're not here yet." Chef answered. "Maybe the bus got caught in traffic."
"And Candela?"
"I thought she was with you." Chris said.
"Oh yeah, she went to the stage."
At the stage, Candela arrived and was now busy entertaining the audience.
"Good morning, everyone!" Candela greeted. "I'm Candela Monsoon and here we are starting up the first episode of my fourth season, Total Drama: Musical Impact!"
A wave of applause was heard. Candela gave a signal to the tech crew at the back and a large screen appeared behind the female host.
"We are now ready to witness the arrival of our contestants!" Candela declared. "…and performers…"
The screen turned on, showing the view outside the theater.
Episode 1: Rising Stars
"I'll be up there before anyone knows about it."
Outside the theater…
The camera was placed on a bush so that no one could see it. After a few minutes, a bus came to a halt. The first contestant came out, which was a female. She wore blue jeans, red t-Shirt, black sweater over her T-shirt, and black shoes.
"Wow, this is great!" she squealed. "Being in a Total Drama show which doesn't require you to survive in the wild is actually great for a first impression."
"Yeah it is." says the next contestant who came out of the bus. He was slim and looked pretty athletic, judging by his clothing. He then reached for the girl's hand to shake hands with her. "I'm Solomon, but you may call me Sal."
"Oh, nice to meet you, Sal!" The girl shook his hand. "I'm Olivia."
"So, you've been in Total Drama before?" Sal asked. "I haven't. This is my first time."
"Same here."
Another girl came out of the bus and began looking at the place. This girl was fairly shorter than the two. Her icy blue eyes looked around frantically around until she spotted the other contestants. She had curly jet-black hair that was held up in a mid-ponytail, and wore a plaid green shirt, blue shorts, and green sneakers.
"Hello!"
She ran up to the two.
"Hi, there!" Olivia smiled. "I'm guessing you're Meredith, right?"
The girl, presumably Meredith, smiled back at her.
"Yep!"
"Nice." Sal nodded.
Another boy came out of the bus. He wore a long trench coat which reaches his knees, but he buttons down to his waist. He wore a black shirt underneath and black, fading ripped jeans. Lastly, he wore black shoes on his feet.
"Hi!" Sal waved. But the boy scoffed and went to a nearby bench and played his phone as soon as he got it out.
"Hm, not the type to meet people I guess." Meredith remarked.
Suddenly, Chris went out of the theater.
"Where are the others?" he asked. "And why is Clayton alone over that bench?"
Clayton, the fourth contestant, looked up to him.
"Clayton, why don't you go chat with the others?" Chris told him.
"Hm, I'd rather not." Clayton spoke, not even looking up from his phone. "Besides I'd rather save my voice for whatever performance we might do."
"Good point." Chris responded.
At the same time, another girl came out of the bus. This girl looked rebellious, considering all the piercings and tattoos on her and she looked around everyone with evil in her eyes.
"Hi Vivianne." Chris greeted.
"Pfft." Vivianne rolled her eyes.
"Very well, ViVi Venom." Chris said sarcastically and headed for the building. "Just wait with the other pathetic losers."
"Alright."
"Did he just call us pathetic losers?" Olivia raged.
"Presumably, yes." said the sixth contestant who was taller than Olivia, had pale skin, short dark green hair gelled back, and eyes that matched his hair. He wore a white dress shirt, black slacks, and black dress shoes. It was also noticeable here that there was also a scar on the side of his neck. "Just because you guys must be too stupid to join this show."
"Shut up, Mr. Fancy Guy." Vivianne spat. "I don't care about your opinions."
"Alright, then." the boy smirked. "I wouldn't want to talk to a gorgeous girl like you anyway."
"I said shut up…" Vivianne hissed. "…Spear."
"Oh don't worry," Spear chuckled formally. "I already have a lover."
Sal, Olivia, and Meredith began whispering.
"I think they're a threat." Meredith whispered.
"Who?" Sal looked puzzled. "Spear? Vivianne?"
"No, both of them." Olivia answered. "And yes, they do."
"Oh alright."
The seventh contestant came out of the bus. It was another girl who appears to be Swiss with chocolate brown hair reaching just below her shoulders. This girl also had pale skin and had on a plain yellow shirt, skinny denim jeans and yellow sandals. Her sunglasses were also placed on top of her head.
"What a dump." she murmured. Chef came before her but heard her words.
"What was that, Felicity?"
"It's Faith, Chef Hatchet." the girl snapped. "And I just said that this is a dump."
"It's not a dump because there was a lot more money spent here than the other seasons." Chef spats. "Besides, Chris isn't the one who spent it anyway. And by the way, your nickname is way far from your real name."
"Well, whatever." Faith flipped her hair. "It's not like I care anyway."
Vivianne looked at her.
"What?"
"Let's form an alliance." Vivianne smiled and held out her hand.
"You're on." Faith smirked and shook it.
Spear however, looked at the two girls as if he had a plan, since he was rubbing his hands vigorously.
"Hehehe…" he chuckled. "That'll work."
After for some time, the eighth contestant came out of the bus, it was another boy with dark skin and messy red hair.
"Wow…" he stared. "There's a lot of hot chicks here, ain't that right, uh…"
He looked to the girl behind him, who was the ninth contestant.
"Amanda." He read the girl's name from the tag of her bag. Amanda wore a black skull shirt, blue jeans, and high heels.
He fiddled her hair playfully.
"Yuck! Get away from me!" Amanda ran away towards the other contestants.
"Fool!" Oli shrieked.
"So be one!"
As soon as the two ran away, the twelfth contestant exited out of the bus. He was tall and had a muscular build.
"Oh, hello Evander." Chef waved.
"Hmph." the boy, Evander, scoffed in response. He looked at the outside of the theater. "This show looks like it's for babies."
"No, it doesn't." said the eleventh contestant who was right behind him. "I just hope that where we're about to sleep on won't be like a garbage dump or out of the wild."
"Stop talking, Kimmie." Evander scowled crossly. "Please?"
"Okay." Said the girl who was obviously Kimmie. She wore a yellow sweater with a light blue button-up shirt underneath it, black jeans, and blue sandals.
"That's what my family and friends call me anyways."
"I said– "
"Okay, sheesh!" Kimmie said and went off to a corner only to bump into Amanda.
"Hi, Man– "
"Move outta the way." Amanda ordered fastidiously. "And what did you just call me, a man?"
"No, you interrupted my sentence!" Kimmie protested opposingly. After that, Amanda ran off. "What with teenagers these days…"
"Sorry 'bout that." Oli apologized and got out a mini slingshot. "Hehehe…"
"Oh please, Oliver." Evander rolled his eyes as soon as he saw the slingshot. "If you shoot that I swear you'll be the first one out!"
"Nah, I don't care."
The tenth contestant soon exited out of the bus. He looked around the place with concern. He had short puffy brown hair and dark blue eyes.
"This looks scary." he whimpered. "I hope I won't get stage fright."
"Nah, it doesn't look scary enough, Xavier."
The boy jumped up. He turned back to see the thirteenth contestant, which was a girl. She was tall, with a lean build and long honey blonde (which kinda looked like light brown) hair that reaches to her waist. She wore a dress shirt which was pure white at the top gradually becoming a dark shade of blue with the sleeves reaching to the tip of her elbows, navy denim shorts which matches the bottom rims of her shirt, and blue sneakers over white ankle socks.
"Really, Kimberly?" Xavier asked. "You don't get stage fright?"
"Nope." She shook her head. "And just call me May. There's another contestant with the name Kimberly."
"Oh. Okay." Xavier nodded. "Nice eyes by the way."
May's eyes were quite noticeable since the left one was blue and the right one was green.
"Oh, that's just heterochromia." May shrugged. "I was born like that, much like my siblings."
"Neat."
The fourteenth contestant came out of the bus. He was tall, much like most of the boys. He had short black hair with bangs covering part of his forehead, black eyes, and pale skin, with a rather lean build. He wore a white shirt under a black leather jacket, black jeans, and black sneakers. A guitar was also in a bag behind him, strapped on his back.
"Wow, this place looks amazing!" he smiled. "Much more than the western environment I've lived in."
May turned back and widen her eyes.
"Samuel?" she exclaimed. "What in the world are you doing here?"
"Of course, I'm competing," Samuel smiled. "…my high school rival."
"Wow, heh." May snickered. "Right after you broke my sister's heart."
"Who? Lucette? Ha!" Samuel pouted. "She didn't choose me over that… oh well. Let's just say that she's a pathetic little moron-princess like you."
The figure skater grabbed him by the collar.
"If you call me a princess one more time," she tightened her grip making Samuel yelp. "I will make sure you're the first one out of this game."
"Fine." the guitarist smirked. "But if you're the first one out, I will do something to you that you will never get it out of your head for the rest of your life."
May let go of his collar.
"I don't know what that is but deal." She looked directly at him.
"I guess I'll just…" Xavier walked. "…be right by the bench."
After a while, contestant number fifteen came out. It was a tall girl with her blue hair in a ponytail. She looked everywhere excitedly. Then, she just went and stood off to the side. Afterwards, she stared at Vivianne intently.
Vivianne saw this and approached her.
"What are you looking at, moron?"
"Nope. I'm not a moron." the girl replied. "I'm Arreis. Nice to meet you."
Arreis held her hand for Vivianne to shook but just swept it away.
"Stay away from me, Arreis." Vivianne sneered rudely. "I don't want to see a duplicate of another person like you anyways."
"Um, okay." Arreis shrugged. "Wait, what did you just called me?"
"Nope." Vivianne crossed her arms.
Soon after all the commotion, contestant number sixteen came. It was a boy with brown eyes and hair and lots of freckles in his cheeks. He went out of the bus stood off to the side.
"Hi." Said the boy. "I'm Robert."
"Robert? Nice name." the outcast replied. "I'm Xavier."
"You got the guts to sing huh." Robert smirked.
"Who, me?" Xavier chuckled sheepishly. "Um, yep."
"Whatever." Robert left.
"…That was weird." Xavier scratched his head. "I thought I made a friend."
After that another boy came, who was obviously the last male contestant. He had hazel eyes and back medium length hair and wore a black t-shirt with the word "Savage", dark jeans, white sports socks and black Reebok tennis shoes. Right as he got out of the bus, he just sat on another bench.
"Uh, hello." He greeted Robert who was standing near him. "What can I help you for?"
"Hi." Robert greeted back in a plain manner. "Who are you?"
"I'm Gabe but you may call me Gabox." Gabe smiled. "What's your name?"
"I'm Robert." Robert said.
"Nice." Gabe nodded. "Can I call you Rusty?"
This made Robert mad.
"Look, I'm not some metal bike or whatnot that got stuck out in the rain for a couple of years so don't call me that junk!" Robert yelled which made Gabe back up a little.
"O-okay…"
After all the eighteen contestants have arrived, Chris came in and joined Chef.
"So, let's see if you're all here…" Chris counted all the contestants to see if everyone was present.
Or not.
"Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen… hey, where's the last one?" Chef asked the contestants.
Everyone looked around their surroundings to see if contestant number eighteen was there. But a girl stepped out of the bushes unexpectedly. She was presumably the last female contestant and was in a preppy outfit. She also had long ash blonde hair.
"Oh, there you are, Mairead." Chris said. "Why'd you wanna play hide and go seek?"
"I'm not trying to play hide and seek, Chris." Mairead replied. "I just went to go see… something."
"And what's that something?" Chef asked quizzically.
"Eh, just looks like a camera." Mairead shrugged. "I don't know why is it there anyways."
"Alright, since we are all eighteen then, let's head in the theater."
All eighteen contestants followed the two hosts inside. As soon as they entered, they were now in the lobby. The lobby looked huge and all floors were in red carpets. The walls were painted in a light gold color which gave the whole place a fanciful look.
"So, this here is the lobby." Chef told them. "You'll be going here once you are eliminated. Because, when you're eliminated, you'll still be doing some performance on stage so this is where we'll meet you."
The contestants nodded in response as soon as Chef turned back to them, later on, pointing to a door.
"This is the confession room." Chef pointed "For this place only though. There are also confession cabins all over the island since most of the challenges aren't in the theater."
Afterwards, they went to the second floor.
"Right here is the way to enter the balcony of the auditorium so yeah, expect a lot of people watching inside." Chris mentioned. "And there are bathrooms in there as well so let's head onto the third floor now."
All of them entered the third floor.
"Here are the bedrooms, where you'll guys be sleeping." Chef told them. "These nine bedrooms are for the contestants. The hosts though will be in the other side of the hall."
All the contestants, nodded. Again.
"Before we head on to another place in this building," Chef stated. "We'll divided you into pairs to see who sleeps in which room."
Some of the contestants looked pleased with this. The others looked nervous.
"I have a question." Oli raised his hand. "Are we sleeping girls with girls and boys with boys or the weird way?"
"The weird way." Chris smiled maliciously as everyone groaned for they knew what Oli meant. "So, for pair number one we have…"
He got out a piece of paper with the contestants' names on them.
"Olivia and Solomon."
"Nice!" Sal smiled and shared a high-five with Olivia.
"Pair number two, we have… Spear and Vivianne."
"Oh, how niiiiiice…" Vivianne said sarcastically. "I have a pathetic roommate."
"Pathetic you say?" Spear had a malicious grin on. "Heaven knows what'll happen to– "
"Oh, shut up!"
"Yeeeaaaahhh do what the girl says and shut up." Chris glared. "Pair three are Gabe and Meredith."
Both contestants just shrugged.
"Pair four are Samuel and Amanda." Chef mentioned.
"Pfft." Amanda rolled her eyes.
"Pair five, we have Xavier and Felicity."
"H-hello." Xavier waved. Faith grinned maliciously in response making Xavier gulp.
"Pair six, we have Robert and Kimberly."
"Which one?" Kimmie asked.
"May." Chris says.
"Oh. Yay." May shrugs.
"Pair seven, are Oliver and Kimmie."
Oli furrowed his eyes at Kimmie and smiled. Kimmie just smiled back.
"Pair eight we have Clayton and Arreis."
Both exchanged glances but Arreis just smiled at Clayton, who just looked at the ground.
"And pair nine are Evander and Mairead."
Evander got mad again while Mairead waved.
"Very well, let's head on back to the first floor."
Confessional: Wouldja Like To Be My Roommate?
Amanda: Ugh. Great. Just reeeaaally great. First off in my arrival, I had to deal with an awkward guy who flirts a lot with girls. Now I must deal with some random western guy being my roommate for the entire season. Oh, what joy and happiness would I get from here?
Sal: Yes! Olivia's my roommate! Now I can easily have a potential ally in this game of wits. Or survival. Well, if she's on my team per say. If not, then *sighs* where else would I go? And if you're wondering, no, I do NOT like her like that, okay?
Faith: I've got this weird feeling that Xavier might backstab me during the game. Heaven knows what's he's hiding under that innocent face of his. If this ever happens, I'll have to be on a good look-out for anything suspicious, then the game would simply just be like a pancake flipped to perfection.
Evander: I can't say that I'm going to be good roommates with Mairead. Judging by her looks, she looks like someone I would never get along with. Oh well. Let's just see what time will bring, come forth the challenges.
Vivianne: Crap. Just pure crap. I don't know how will I deal with this nuisance.
End confessional
They went back to the first floor. Upon reaching there, they walked to the backstage hall which was located on the other side of the building.
"And here are the backstage rooms." Chef and Chris said in unison. At the same time, Candela came out of the auditorium with two girls. One of them was a dark-skinned chubby female, with short black hair in a bob hairstyle, with black eyes. The other one was a skinny Caucasian skinned female with long black hair reaching her mid back with bangs on her forehead also with black eyes with black square framed glasses. They both wore the intern uniform.
"Oh, hello everyone!" Candela greeted. "So here are my three secretaries–"
Chris and Chef looked at her suspiciously.
"I mean, interns. Yes, interns. Because I'm gonna need help on rearrangements. Anywho this one here is Amaya." She referred to the dark-skinned one. "She's very skilled in designing and picking in costumes and whatnot, but I call her Maya for short. Er, a letter short."
"Hello, failures." Maya greeted evilly. "Hope you'll enjoy your show… hehehe."
Confessional: Amaya will make me fail
May: This Maya girl looks like a freak. Or rather, she acts like a freak. I thought interns are supposed to be nice unlike the contestants, but, I guess they're just the same. The only difference might be that they work for a different task but we just compete.
Xavier: I don't like this person. At least I'm a guy so I don't need to worry about her.
Oli: Phew. It's a good thing I'm a guy. Not a girl. I don't regret my decision. *smiles*
End confessional
"Yeah… right… She talks like that…" Candela then looked at the other girl. "And here is Marabel. She's an expert in hair design. But for short, I call her Mara."
Mara just waved at the contestants in response.
Confessional: The only thing that can help me now is a Mara-cle
Evander: The only thing I could say is that, she's weak. At least she's just an intern.
Kimmie: I hope I can make friends with her. She sounds nice.
Robert: Yeah, for a second there, I don't think she's mute. I think that petty girl is just trying to hide her voice or she will sound as ugly as a train horn about to blow up into a million pieces and fall off from the sky. Okay, I said too much.
End confessional
"So um, wait, where's Louiza?" Candela looked frantically for the missing intern.
"Present." The last intern said. Louiza was a tall girl, wearing the same outfit as the other two, with long blonde hair and blue eyes and was slightly tan.
"She's new so I… don't know much about her… well anyway! While the audience is watching a really long movie in there… hehehe." Candela cackled and at the same time, there was loud cheering coming from the auditorium, followed by a bunch of ooh's. "We'll get you dressed up one by one. Hm, since I'll be doing the girls, I'll do…"
She looked at all the females in the contestants.
"You first." She pointed at Kimmie.
"Ooh, goody!" Kimmie clapped and stayed behind Candela.
"Hm, I'll do this girl over here." Maya pointed at Faith.
"Don't mess up my looks." the percussionist sneered. Vivianne in the background however, smiled at her.
"I won't." Maya told her with an evil grin.
Meanwhile, Mara whispered something in Candela's ear. After that, the female host nodded in response.
"Okay Amanda, you'll be going with Mara." Candela told her.
"Fine." She nodded.
As the girls left to three of the rooms, Don came out of the auditorium.
"For boys, we'll do this three at a time." Don remarked. "I'll take the… uh, you."
He pointed to Spear.
"Exciting!"
Don went in a fourth room and Spear followed suit.
"Now, it's my turn to pick." Chef said to the contestants who were now sitting in nearby sofas. "I choose you, Clayton."
"Okay." Clayton said and followed him to a fifth room.
"And lastly, it's my turn." Chris smirked. "Come with me, Evander."
"Alright." Evander followed the arrogant host in the sixth room. The rest of the contestants waited with Louiza.
Once everyone was out and ready, the hosts ordered them to line up since they'll be entering the stage one by one.
"Maya, Mara, go and assist the contestants waaaaaaaaaait, where's Louiza?!" Candela asked.
"In the bathroom." Maya answered.
"Oh. So anyways," Candela continued. "Us hosts have to be in the stage now. And all the contestants, while waiting, practice your performance that you'll be doing."
"What?!" everyone gasped.
"Ugh, just get this piece of paper!" Candela scoffed and gave the paper to Maya. The latter looked happy but Mara still looked sad from all her crying.
"Ooh, the song you bitches will be singing is called–"
The scene quickly cuts as the camera pans to the four hosts going to the front stage.
As soon as they got there, Chris held up a sign that would tell the tech team to stop the movie. A wave of awwwww!'s was heard in the background. The four just stood at the stage.
"And now, the moment you've all been waiting for," Don began. "We're here to introduce to you our cast of…"
"Total!" Chris and Chef yelled.
"Drama!" Candela and Don followed.
"Musical Impact!" They all said in unison in which the audience roared with applause while the theme played in the screen.
*Opening Theme*
(Edited some words here and there; hopefully it's not too bad. I just want to fit it with the theme)
(Another note: I hope it's not a pain to put the theme all the way here…)
Dear mom and dad, I'm doing fine
We get an overview of the theater which showed Candela, Chris, Don, and Chef bowed as they finished a performance. The crowd applauded as well.
You're always on my mind
The scenes changes to the lobby, where Oli was flirting to Amanda and Vivianne but eventually receives a slap from both of them. The two girls left instantly while the boy just shrugged.
You asked me what I wanted to be
The camera then pans out to the backstage where Mairead was busy reading a book. Arreis then comes out of nowhere and scares the preppy girl, causing her book to fly towards the camera.
And now I think the answer is plain to see
The book hits the camera and falls off, revealing the scene to be outside the theater. Clayton is seen sitting on the bench playing his phone and Xavier sitting distantly from him. None of the two were making interactions until they both left.
I wanna be famous
The camera heads for a challenge location, Musical Valley, where Sal, Olivia, and Meredith were flying a kite. The kite then hits a tall tree and gets stuck, making the three frown.
I wanna be a rising star
The scene changes to Instrument Hills and Kimmie is seen sitting down on the grass, enjoying the view she got. In less than a second, Faith accidentally bumps her as she was getting away from Evander who was chasing her. The three all fell and rolled down the hill.
Go pack your bags, I've already gone far
The camera pans out to Harmony River where Samuel, Spear and May were arguing. Later on, a bird hits May's head making her gasp in shock and falls into the rushing water. Samuel grabs her hand to save her but fails and falls with her. Spear however, just cackles but lost his balance and fell as well.
Everything to prove, what can you say?
Later, Gabe was now seen resting on a rock in Clef Cave but Robert accidentally trips over him. Unfortunately for them, a horde of bats start to chase them, making the two run out of the cave for their lives.
I'll be there one day
After a few minutes, Gabe returned on the cave with Samuel, Faith, Evander, Kimmie, and Olivia. They all attempted to make a fire but failed since the bats came back. They all ran away in horror.
'Cause I wanna be famous
Mairead, Clayton, Vivianne, Xavier, May, and Robert were now seen having a picnic on Instrument Hills but it suddenly rained and the six ran away, leaving everything behind.
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na!
The camera pans back to Musical Valley, where Arreis, Oli, Meredith, Amanda, Sal, and Spear were running away from a pack of wolves.
I wanna be a star, I wanna go far, I wanna be famous
Fast clips of the contestants one by one can be seen. The clips show them waving at the camera or doing their respective poses in various places.
I wanna soar high, and reach for the sky, I wanna be famous
The hosts can be seen arguing until a spotlight hits them, making them realize that they were on the stage. Luckily though, no one was there except for them.
*whistling in tune*
After a few minutes, all twenty two characters can be seen on the stage for their cast picture. When the camera flashes, the logo of Total Drama: Musical Impact can be seen with a white glow behind it and several musical notes around it. The blurred cast picture served as background.
*End opening theme*
"Now, before we show you the real contestants, every episode in this season, we'll have four special guests joining us." Chris announced. "They are from…"
"Total Drama: Evergreen Expedition," Candela began.
"Total Drama: Youth Generation," Don continued.
"Total Drama: Elemental Charge," Chef added.
"And the seasons I've hosted in the past such as Total Drama Island, Revenge of the Island, World Tour, Action, Pahkitew Island, and Ridonculous Race, in which they'll also be the judges of the performances the contestants will do and decide who takes home the Advanced Note, and the Noisy Note." Chris concluded.
"Hey, I hosted Ridonculous Race!" Don protested. "RiDONculous Race!"
He emphasized his name over exaggeratedly.
"Well who cares!" Chris said.
"Plus, you're forgetting All Stars." Chef pointed out.
"Yeah." Candela nodded in agreement.
Confessional: Dearie Me
Chris (host): These co-hosts of mine are embarrassing me. *glares at the camera*
End confessional
"So, our first guest is from my very first season, Evergreen Expedition." Candela started. "You've seen him from Team Eversmile, getting the boot in 'Episode Two: Step On It!' but he is here, being the die-hard Star Wars fan, he always is! Everyone, please give it up for Adam Smith!"
Adam went in the stage causing loads of people to clap their hands in excitement. He wore something formal for the show, a suit, matching dress pants, and some dress shoes. Candela handed him her microphone to make a speech.
"Good morning everyone!" Adam waved.
"Whoooooooooooooooooo~!" the audience chanted. "Adam Smith! Adam Smith!"
Confessional: Not Relatively
Arreis: If you're asking me, nope. That person is not related to me. Smith is just a very common surname.
End confessional
"Wow, I have so many fans after being the first boot." Adam chuckled sheepishly. "Anyways, I'm very glad to be here a year later since Evergreen Expedition began. Good luck to all the contestants and stay cool everyone!"
During a round of applause, Adam gave the microphone back to Candela. After that, he went to sit in the judges' seat way in the front row.
"Next, we have our second guest from Candela's second season, Youth Generation!" Chef announced. "You've seen her on round one, leading the Freezing Blizzards during 'Episode Two: Do You Sea It?' and stays a valuable player throughout but today, you'll be seeing her here. Please welcome, Caroline Grove!"
Caroline entered the stage and waved to the audience. She wore a simple orange dress with matching heels and had her hair up in a ponytail. Chef gave her the microphone for her speech.
"Hello everyone!" Caroline smiled. "Thank you all, for supporting me so much in Youth Generation! I'm extremely happy! Now do me guys a favor and show all your unconditional love and support to the cast of Musical Impact! Let's give them all the love we've got!"
"Ca-ro-line! Ca-ro-line!" the audience cheered as Caroline gave her microphone back to Chef and took her seat in the judges' row.
"Now, our third guest! From Elemental Charge, Candela's third season!" Don said. "This dude caused a lot of mayhem in Outstanding Oxygen back in 'Episode Two: Be Straight or Learn a Lesson', gosh why is everything from episode two?!"
Everyone fell silent at Don's complaint.
"Carry on! Chop chop!" Candela mouthed.
"…due to the fact that he tries to get revenge on his best friend which made his team fall apart. Introducing, Regie De Goitia!" Don applauded as well as the audience as Regie entered the stage. He wore a white dress shirt, khaki pants, and brown shoes. Don gave him the microphone afterwards.
"Hello, fans of Total Drama!" Regie waved. "Man, this feels great to see you've got lots of supporters. Hope you guys support these incoming participants in their performances! I'm wishing all you guys the best of luck this season!"
"Yeah!" a random guy shouted from the audience.
"Shut up!" a woman yelled who (kinda) sounded like Eva.
As soon as Regie finished his speech, he handed the microphone back to Don and a round of applause was heard again.
"Last but not the least," Chris announced making the audience fell silent. "Our fourth special guest for this morning, we have our classic Total Drama competitor, *not* everyone's favorite queen bee of the Total Drama series. Please give a round of applause for Heather!"
Heather went on the stage, wearing a red long dress, with an evil grin on her face.
"What's up Total Drama fans!" Heather yelled making the audience clap the loudest. "Heather here, making another appearance again! I've been enjoying this show ever since. So good luck as well to those fellow next losers, I mean winners, and keep on tuning in!"
The audience applauded again.
"Thank you, Heather!" Candela smiled. Where the other contestants are, Louiza, Maya, and Mara went behind them and motioned the group behind the curtains since they are about to close.
"And with all our 18 contestants here on the stage," Chris began as the curtains close behind him. "They will now be doing their performance!"
Bells can be heard ringing from the background.
"That's the cue for them to start." Candela told the audience. "Without further ado, let the show begin!"
Don and Chef raced in the stage, carrying three microphones, and adjusted them to the proper height. Once that was done, the four went on ahead and sat in the front row where the guests were.
The contestants were now on the stage. Some of them looked nervous about what they were about to do.
…And the music starts with a piano and a few string instruments playing in the background. Olivia took a deep breath since she'll be singing the first line.
"I'm not a stranger to the dark"
Everyone forms into a huge half-circle, with Olivia in the middle. Oli followed her as well as he sang his line calmly.
"Fly away, they say. Cause we don't want your broken parts"
As soon as Oli was now in the middle, Mairead followed him as she was next and sang a bit shakily for that matter.
"I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars"
As Mairead sang her line, Sal followed her gracefully.
"Run away, they say. No one will love you as you are"
More instruments began playing in the background as Meredith sang next, followed by Spear and Kimmie respectively.
"But I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious"
Xavier built up his courage and went in the middle and sang. Faith followed right after him but lost her voice in the middle of her line.
"When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood *clears throat* gonna drown them *coughs* out"
"Shit." She muttered as Evander sang, followed by May.
"I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I meant to be"
Everyone sang and clapped once at the same time after this line.
"This is me"
Samuel took a deep breath and sang next.
"Look out 'cause here I come"
Arreis then sang after him with a smile on her face.
"And I'm marching on to the beat I drum"
Clayton and Vivianne sang after her, respectively. Clayton however, had a bit of trouble as he was approaching the middle to join the others.
"I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies"
Everyone sang again, but this time, stomped once after.
"This is me"
Everyone continued singing, snapping their fingers lightly to the beat.
"Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh"
Gabe began singing as the music become even more lively. The rest sang as the second voice.
"Another round of bullets hits my skin (Hey)"
Amanda then followed after the latter.
"Well fire away (Oh) 'cause today (Hey)
I won't let my fate give in"
Robert then followed, confidently.
"Be a burst into a barricade (Oh-oh)
And reaching for the sun"
Everyone then sang happily.
"We are warriors
Yeah, that's what we've become (Yeah, that's what we've become)"
Everyone continued to sing lively as the music continues.
"I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious"
They all clapped and danced to the beat as they enter the chorus. The boys sang as the second voice.
"When the sharpest words wanna cut me down (Hey, hey, hey)
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out (Hey, hey, hey)
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I meant to be
This is me
Look out 'cause here I come (Hey, hey, hey)
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum (Hey, hey, hey)
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies
This is me"
They all waltzed with their respective partners (roommates) as they sang, alternatively by boys and girls.
"Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh
This is me"
"Oh-oh-oh-oh"
"And I know that I deserve your love"
"Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh"
"There's nothing I'm not worthy of"
"Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh"
"When the sharpest words wanna cut me down"
"I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out"
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I meant to be
This is me
Look out 'cause here I come (Look out 'cause here I come)
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum (Marching on, marching, marching on)
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies
This is me
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm gonna send a flood
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Gonna drown them out
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh
This is me
Everyone ended with a pose with their partners.
A huge wave of applause was heard as the contestants bowed. Even the hosts and the judges/special guests stood up and clapped in amazement. Once the applause stopped, the contestants remained standing there since it was the cue for the special guests to give their comments.
"Alright, splendid performance!" Chef complemented. "Any thoughts, Adam?"
"It was great." Adam remarked satisfyingly. "I enjoyed watching them."
"Nice!" Candela smiled. "What about you Caroline?"
"Loved it." Caroline squealed. "Although I did saw someone went off tune. Don't know who that is. Otherwise, it was awesome."
Confessional: Splendid
Meredith: Excellent job on ruining this one, Faith. If I were in your team, I'd vote for you.
Faith: Dammit, she noticed it! *slightly loses voice* How stupid of me!
Clayton: I don't mean to criticize this place or anything but I think the floor was slippery.
Gabe: Clayton here needs shoes with more friction. *crosses arms*
End confessional
"Nice comment." Chris smirked evilly. "Words on the performance, Regie?"
"I saw someone slipped a bit." Regie said. "And like Caroline a heard an off tune voice. Despite that, it was great. I'd give a safe seven for now."
Clayton felt a little bit uneasy but Faith scowled. Everyone else looked a bit nervous.
"Heather?" Don asked.
"Well, there wasn't enough emotion. Er, the expressions on their faces wasn't enough." Heather remarked. Most of the contestants groaned quietly at her comment. "I wasn't satisfied enough so I guess 50-50."
"Nice comment, Heather." Chris smiled deviously. "Alright, now we'll give time for the judges to score you. Judges, you'll each give a score to all of them as one group. Hosts, we'll be scoring them one by one. After that, the calculation process will occur by simply inserting your piece of paper to this machine right here."
He showed them the machine off to the corner which hold resemblances of a printer.
"Alright, let's get to scorin'!" The hosts yelled in unison. Respectively, the hosts began giving scores for each of the contestants one by one with the special guests giving scores to them as a whole.
After a few minutes…
"And the scores are up!" Candela finally announces for what seemed like five million decades. "The contestant with the highest score wins the Advanced Note; a not-so classic thing that you'll be using to resist all votes casted on you during elimination, plus gives you and your team an advantage in challenges."
Don on the other hand, holds up a black eighth note shaped figure.
"Next, we have the Noisy Note." Chris says. "The Noisy Note, when received, will give you disadvantages on your performances and your challenges. So if you receive this note when you perform, your score will be decreased by 25. Example: if your score is 75, your score will be 50. In challenges, instead of receiving your first point, you won't!"
Don holds up another figure, almost the same as the first one but instead of it being black, it was red.
"Aww!" Arreis wined.
"Shut up!" Vivianne hissed.
"And without further ado, we'll be giving the Advanced Note!" Chef announced. "This is always given to the performer with the highest score. So, with a score of 85 over a hundred, the Advanced Note goes to…"
…Sal! Congratulations!"
Chef happily gave the Advanced Note to Sal. The boy was surprised to see that he was the one who earned it.
Confessional: I Knew I Could Do It
Sal: I actually got the highest score! Wow! What a great start for me. *smiles*
End confessional
"Now with the Noisy Note… with a devastating score of 37 over a hundred… the Noisy Note goes to…"
…Faith and Clayton!"
Both contestants groaned.
"But unfortunately, we can only have one recipient." Don announces. "I'd like for the two to step forward."
The two did so.
"Candela here will hand you an envelope." Don began. "Open it up. If the paper inside is red, you'll be the recipient. If it's green, you're safe. Ready?"
Candela handed them an envelope.
"Open it up!"
Two cameras panned to both of them as they opened their enveloped. On the left TV, it shows Clayton while the right one shows Faith.
"Yes!"
"Ugh!"
"And the Noisy Note recipient is…"
…Faith. Clayton, you're safe."
"Yes!" Clayton jumped up happily for a rare time.
"Shit!" Faith cursed under her breath.
"If anyone else is curious about their scores, here are the scores you all get from highest to lowest!" Candela said as the TVs revealed the score of the others. "Also, those who got a low score, expect to perform on the next episode, especially the recipient of the Noisy Note. Other than that, you're good!"
–Scores: Performance #1–
1 st : Sal – 85 – Recipient of Advanced Note
2 nd : Amanda – 82
3 rd : Robert – 80
4 th : Evander – 73
5 th : Spear – 72

17 th : Clayton – 37
18 th : Faith – 37 – Recipient of Noisy Note
The screen showed for a good minute until Chris comes up again on stage.
Most contestants groaned but the others have huge smiles plastered on their faces.
"If you hear your name, please go stand on my left." Candela instructed and put out a piece of paper. Evander tried to peek but failed as Candela swiped it off. The rest of the contestants backed up.
"For team number one," the girl host began. "We have Samuel, Olivia, Kimmie, Gabe, Faith, and Juel!"
The six went on the girl's left.
"Juel?" the ballerino blushed.
"What about it?" Candela snarked. "It's shorter than your other name!"
"Team number two, please stand on my right. Okay we have," Don began. "Mairead, Xavier, Vivianne, Robert, May, and Clayton!"
The next batch of six contestants all stood to Don's right.
"For the last team, please remain in the back." Chris said. "That means all of you. In other words- er, names, Spear, Sal, Oli, Meredith, Arreis, and Amanda."
Everyone all stayed in their designated places.
"Those who are standing in Candela's left are…" Chef announced. "The Beat Breakers!"
The audience applauded.
"Next, the ones who are on Don's right are…" Chef announced again. "The Harmonious Heirs!"
The audience applauded again, but not as loud as before.
"Last, the ones who are in the back are The Rhythm Repeaters!"
Confessional: New Season, New Teams. Yeah, Right.
Amanda (Rhythm Repeaters): I don't know what to say with my team. The team names sound cliché, but my team is… well… not really what you call average. I can't say who's gonna be a threat yet since I need to know more about them, but I also don't know who to be teammates with. Oli doesn't sound like good news because of earlier but I might even get him to be on my side soon before things shimmy up. I don't wanna sound too bad on this.
Arreis (Rhythm Repeaters): One thing for sure is that I can't say that my team is good. Because there are two people that can be a threat: Spear and Amanda. Although I can sense Amanda's good side and she might become a great ally. I just hope she'll understand. But I also can't say that my team is bad as well. You've got me, sure, but I think I might get along with Meredith, Oli, and Sal. We'll just wait and see, folks. *grins widely*
Clayton (Harmonious Heirs): Ahem… I think it's fairly right to just go with the flow with this new team. Hopefully no one will be stupid. So far, I'm not sure yet. Xavier looks easy to get along with, Vivianne might be a problem, Robert is… alright I guess, and May, well honestly, I have no idea. But hopefully they'll become great allies on the show. Who knows? Maybe I might even get immunity on the next round because I'm sure to perform again after miraculously breaking the tiebreaker with Faith!
Evander (Beat Breakers): *glares on camera* My team is madness. Really. I've got two 'good girls' named Kimmie and Olivia, a guy named Gabe who has the word 'box' in his nickname, a pathetic guitarist named Samuel, and a percussionist named Faith who went off tune. No one on my team is strong enough! Plus, someone here has the Noisy Note. Ugh! I think I know who I'll be voting for now.
Faith (Beat Breakers): Wanna know what happened to me today? First, a host spat on me for accusing this place as a dump. Second, I met someone who I thought would be my friend but ended up being on a different team. Third, a pathetic intern just called me a lot of shit. Fourth, I made us mess up. Fifth, I got the Noisy Note. And last, my blasted team will blame on me because of my fifth reason. Mom, dad, take me home 'cuz I'm gonna have the worst summer in my life.
Gabe (Beat Breakers): I sure hope my new team won't be messing up on this next chapter of my life. I'm making a prediction that we will be the first team to go to elimination. *whispers* I have to think of my vote fast or else I might get the chopping block. I'll just try to make an alliance. Maybe my vote should depend on the challenge we're about to do. Ah, I don't know. My mind's full of crazy nonsense that I do not wanna think about right now but still. I gotta stay put.
Kimmie (Beat Breakers): I hate my team. Well, half of my team. Olivia and Gabe look easy to get along with but other than that, nope. Why? One of my teammates told me to stop talking a while ago, another one just made us get a disadvantage, and the last one, judging by his personality, I don't know where to begin with. Hopefully I can get along with them soon or I'll be in a pickle.
Mairead (Harmonious Heirs): We were this close to getting the Noisy Note! But miracles happen so we were saved! Phew. I think I'm gonna like my team. Everyone's great so far. Do I have to elaborate each and every one of them? Nah, I'll do it later. It'll take me forever if I do it. So in return, I'm gonna be giving my all so we don't lose the challenges. It's gonna be pretty hard to vote someone in the team off the game but, what can I do?
May (Harmonious Heirs): Wow. I don't know where the heck should I begin with. The fact that I've met my sophomore rivals, or the fact that I just ended up on a team that got pretty lucky since we don't have the disadvantage. I'm kinda glad that Spear and Samuel aren't on my team, or even Kirsten's sister. But I still hope to win that deal and get rid of Samuel fast. I have no idea on what was he talking about doing 'something to me that I will never get it out of my head for the rest of my life.' *shudders*
Meredith (Rhythm Repeaters): I've got a wonderful team with me. Spear and Amanda aren't that bad I guess, and I get to be teammates with Sal! Plus, Oli and Arreis don't even look or sound like unwelcome news but I think Oli and Amanda are gonna fight a lot judging by what happened earlier. Either way, I sure hope that we can cooperate well! Good luck to you and your team, Olivia.
Oli (Rhythm Repeaters): Ahahahaha… *starts laughing harder* AHAHAHAHA! Oh more fun for me… I don't really have a strategy in mind in doing all this crap but who knows? Maybe I'll think of a plan soon. I'll probably just try and do my best next performance so I can get the Advanced Note too. But we get the advantage, thanks to Sal! He might even become a potential ally on this doo-hickey but let's just wait and watch the show. Or in my case, see it.
Olivia (Beat Breakers): Oh no oh no oh no oh no ohhhhhh nooooo… I'm doomed! I'm not in the same team as Meredith and Sal plus we got the disadvantage! Honestly, I don't know what should my first move be. Any suggestions? No? Oh well. I guess I'm on my own now. I'll just try to make allies and hopefully some more friends along the way. More allies, less enemies. *shrugs*
Robert (Harmonious Heirs): I don't really care about my team right now. They all look like… meh. Let's just see how far I'll go in this already chaotic lubber. *chuckles* Heck, I might even get to be the white sheep of the team if I do things right. But for now, no targets. Unless someone here goes 'beyond the belt' on the challenge, I'll place a strategy to put them aside.
Sal (Rhythm Repeaters): I'm having a pretty good day! I won the Advanced Note since I got the highest score. Also, I get to be on the same team with Meredith! Oli, Arreis and Amanda seem fine but, I feel bad for Olivia. I don't think she likes her team right now, but I hope she'll succeed on whatever plan she may be up to. And some more sad news. There's an assumable threat on my team whose name is a weapon. And I know that you know what a spear is.
Samuel (Beat Breakers): Lots of coincidences here. I've met two of my high school rivals; one of my arch-nemeses and my ex-girlfriend's sister. And not to my surprise, when I heard Faith's last name in her audition, I remembered something: I was schoolmates as well with who I think it's her sister, Kirsten. And man, she is a lot like her, but without the cheating part. Why? We'll lose because of her! Hopefully I can get Gabe, Olivia, and Kimmie to vote her off but Evander might be a second problem. Honestly, I don't know what to do.
Spear (Rhythm Repeaters): Ahaha, just as I was expecting. Everyone sees me as a threat because of how I communicated with others. What, you think I'm not trustworthy because of my rivalry with Samuel and May? Well, well, well. What about you folks? You see me as a villain or a hero? Or even somewhere in the middle…? Ah, shit. *slams table in front* Who knows.
Vivianne (Harmonious Heirs): At first, I hoped that I was gonna be teammates with Faith since we formed an alliance. Turns out, that alliance is crushed into a bunch of tiny pieces. Well on the bright side, these little peeps look fine. I don't know how this will turn into. Maybe I can convince them to be aligned with me until merge? Oh wait, then I should think of a target. I'll see to it later.
Xavier (Harmonious Heirs): Everyone here is great! 'Cept for maybe Robert because of what I saw with him and Gabe. If he does that again to someone else, I'll make him my target. But if he's a potential ally then, *yells* ARGH! This stinks! It's just the first round and I don't know what to do! Hopefully I can be in an alliance eventually before I become the lowest level. At least I'm in one with Mairead. I just need to get the others to do the same before things get out of hand.
End confessional
"That's it for the program folks!" Chris waves to the audience. "See you all in the next performance of…"
"Total!" the hosts shouted.
"Drama!" the contestants yelled.
"Musical Impact!" everyone waved at the camera.
"And stay tuned in your televisions for the challenge will start soon!" Candela said.
After that, the audience left. The contestants, hosts, and interns were now left on the stage.
"So we're done?" Gabe asked, feeling quite happy that the performance is done.
"Nope." Don shook his head. "You still have a challenge to do. Now change your clothes and get back here."
The contestants nodded and rushed for the dressing rooms.
"Oh and, Louiza, you're coming with us." Chef said.
"Alrighty." Louiza nodded and went with the hosts.
After half an hour…
Everyone was now back at the stage.
"Okay everyone, let's go outside!" Chef announced and everyone boarded the bus.
"Where are we going?" Vivianne asked, crossing her arms. After so, the bus's engine started and they were off.
"We're going to Windpipe Scarp for your first challenge." Chris told them. "It's the tallest and fattest pole here on this island."
"Windpipe Scarp?" Amanda chuckled. "Why can't they call it Windpipe Pole? Windpipe Scarp sounds like we're heading for Faith's trachea and landing on Clayton's foot."
The contestants laughed at Amanda's words. Clayton just scoffed and shrugged but Faith got pissed off, again.
"Hey!"
Everyone looked at the percussionist.
Except for Clayton since he was surely expecting that to happen.
"I just got the Noisy Note because of my voice but that doesn't mean you have to accuse me." she raged. "And Beat Breakers, if you're gonna vote me off should we lose tonight, I won't allow it."
"Shucks to you, weaky." Evander laughed. "Heck, you might even be the first person to lose in the challenge."
"I-…"
The girl just shrank back to her seat.
"Are we there yet?" Olivia asked from the back row, loud enough for everyone to hear. "It's getting boring now."
"I don't think so." Mairead responded, who was sitting right next to her. "I mean, we just got out of the theater a few minutes ago right, Xavier?"
Xavier was just sitting across from her but nodded.
"Um, yeah…"
Mairead was silent for a while, then transferred to the seat next to the outcast. "Say, what's gotten into you being so quiet?"
"Um, it's just my thing." Xavier rushed. "I don't want to say anything so no one would get mad at anything I say."
"Ah, I see." Mairead nodded. "Well, since we're in the same team…"
Xavier widened his eyes as if he knew what Mairead was about to say.
"Wanna be friends?"
"…S-sure." he finally said.
"Great!" she piped up. "So if we're ever to lose, who should we vote for?"
"I don't know, really." Xavier frowned. "Any suggestions?"
"…Now that you mention it…" Mairead looked at the ground. "We'll let it depend on the challenge."
"Sounds like a plan."
"Aw, bloody crap!" Robert yelled as he hit the seat in front of him since the bus came into a sudden halt. "Ow, my head!"
"Why'd we stop?" Candela asked the driver. The driver just abruptly pointed at the stoplight. "Oh."
After a few more minutes…
"Finally!" Don sighed as he opened the door and quickly exited out from it. "We're here!"
Everyone exited out of the bus and looked at…
…Windpipe Scarp.
Challenge #1 Location – Windpipe Scarp (Day #1)
"Welcome to Windpipe Scarp, everybody!"
The place called Windpipe Scarp looked like a really, REALLY tall, and skinny mountain. More looked like a fat pole that reach about forty feet with a thin wooden platform surrounding it as well as the top of it. Surrounding the bottom platform was water about nine feet deep.
"You call this a mountain?" Sal narrowed his eyes.
"Well, typically, not a mountain." Candela rolled her eyes. "That's just what the people called it."
"How weird." Clayton shrugged.
"You can say that again." Samuel responded.
"I'd rather not."
"Okay, so here's the challenge." Chris spoke loud enough for everyone to hear. "Each team will pick a representative."
"Wow, who could it be?" Meredith asked. "I wanna try!"
"Hell no, why would anyone pick a wimp like you?" Amanda scoffed.
"I'm not a wimp!" Meredith yelled and she was about to slap her when…
"Oh for goodness' sake!" Candela shouted. "Would everyone please listen to your hosts?"
"Yes, Candela." Oli, Xavier, and Evander said at the same time.
"Everyone quiet now? Good!" Don smiled. "Those three will climb this pole, er… mountain up. If anyone falls off and into the water, that person will be out. We'll be repeating this until all players are done."
Everyone groaned.
"Those who reached the top will stay up on the platform for the next round and get a point for their team or if they're the last one on the pole." Candela finished. "Alright, pick your first representative!"
All teams huddled up.
The Beat Breakers seem like they all want to go first.
"I'll do it!" Olivia volunteered. "I've always wanted to climb something this high."
The rest of her teammates looked at her.
"Not gonna happen." Samuel declined. "I'll do it."
"Nope. I'll climb." Faith pointed to herself. "I do rock climbing when I was a kid."
"No way, weakling." Evander pushed the latter. "Someone strong like me is gonna do it."
Kimmie however just backed away from her teammates. "I'll give this one a pass."
"Eh, let me know when you're done arguing." Gabe said and sat on the ground. "Or we'll do it this way."
The Breakers formed themselves into a circle and Gabe placed a water bottle. He spun it and it stopped on…
…Kimmie.
"Seriously?" Kimmie scoffed. Evander glared while Gabe chuckled. "Okay! Okay! I'll do it!"
"Good luck!" Olivia said. The dreamer just shrugged in response.
Confessional: Why me?
Kimmie (Beat Breakers): Out of all the people in the team, why me?
End confessional
However, the Harmonious Heirs are completely the opposite.
"Not me." Mairead backed up.
"I'm so not going first." Vivianne rolled her eyes. "What about you, Xavier?"
The aforementioned shook his head no.
"Who'll do it?" May asked. "Robert?"
"Nope." Robert answered.
"Oh." May looked down. "Clayton?"
"Nah." he answered.
"I don't want to do it either." May declined. "So now what?"
"Fine." Vivianne stood. "I'll do this piece of crap and get over with it."
They smiled.
"But if we lose, my vote's going on you." the girl pointed at the skater.
"What?"
"…Never mind."
Confessional: Why can't you do it?
Vivianne (Harmonious Heirs): May is such a coward. And that's why I'm voting her when we lose.
End confessional
In the Rhythm Repeaters, they are somewhere in the middle.
"I'll go first." Amanda offered willingly. "I can climb faster than you know it."
"No, I should do it." Oli opposed. "I love adventuring and climbing's got to be my thing."
"Oh no," Spear went in between them. "Let the monsieur do it."
"No way, freak." Meredith told him.
"Oh so, you'll do it, Meredith?" Spear asked as he moved closer and closer to her.
"I… uh…" Meredith stammered as both of their foreheads touched. "N-no."
Spear quickly moved back. "Very well. Who's not going to do it?"
"I'll pass." Sal said and stared at his Advanced Note.
"Yeah, let him pass." Arreis defended. "Besides, he's done a lot so our team wouldn't lose."
"You mean so he wouldn't lose?" Amanda corrected in a mean tone. "The advantage doesn't affect the whole team but the disadvantage does."
"It does have an effect, you idiot!" Sal protested and folded his arms.
"Oh please!" Oli rolled his eyes sarcastically. "Who knows, maybe we could be the worst team in here."
Amanda left the group.
Confessional: By Hand
Oli (Rhythm Repeaters): On second thought, *pauses* never mind.
End confessional
"You done?" Candela called out. "Finally!"
Don sighed tiredly. "So we have Kimmie forthe Beat Breakers, Vivianne forthe Harmonious Heirs, and Amanda forthe Rhythm Repeaters!"
"Round 1!" Chris called out. "Position!"
Amanda, Vivianne, and Kimmie all positioned themselves distantly from each other on the platform.
"Oh boy…" Kimmie whispered nervously.
"This'll be a piece of cake." Vivianne smiled.
"I'll be up there before anyone knows about it." Amanda muttered.
"Ready…"
Everyone got ready.
"Set…"
"GO!"
The three girls were now climbing up the pole.
Round 1: Kimmie (BB) vs Vivianne (HH) vs Amanda (RR)
Confessional: Good Thing
Kimmie (Beat Breakers): On the bright side, it's not as slippery as it seems.
End confessional
Amanda was up on the lead, followed by Kimmie. Vivianne however, was having a pretty hard time trying to catch up with the other two.
"Ugh!" Vivianne yelled as her left hand slipped off.
"Go ViVi Venom!" Mairead cheered.
"How did you know my nickname?" Vivianne shouted from above.
"I learned it from someone!" Mairead smiled.
"Augh!" Amanda yelped as she fell off the pole and into the water.
"And Amanda is out!" Chris announced and jumped up in excitement.
Kimmie miraculously climbed close to Vivianne and decides to make a move but Vivianne kicked her leg.
"Ow!" Kimmie shouted and tried to step on Vivianne's foot.
"No way I'm letting you do that." Vivianne smirked and grabbed the dreamer's arm.
"Ugh!" The dreamer yelled and shook it off but failed and fell to the water.
"And Vivianne wins round one!" Don said. "One point for the Heirs!"
The Heirs cheered as Vivianne made her way to the platform at the top.
"Round two!" Chef announces. "I'll be picking this time."
The contestants waited nervously for Chef's word.
"…Gabe for the Breakers, Mairead for the Heirs, and Oli for the Repeaters!"
Confessional: Oh no
Gabe (Beat Breakers): I don't know why the hell did I signed up for this heck.
Mairead (Harmonious Heirs): I'm not entirely happy that I'm going in second but hey, at least I wasn't the first.
Oli (Rhythm Repeaters): *shrugs and leaves confessional*
End confessional
Round 2 – Gabe (BB) vs Mairead (HH) vs Oli (RR)
The three climbed but looked like they choose brawl instead of a race as they are all trying to kick one out.
"Take that!" Gabe shouted as he threw a rock to Oli's head but missed failingly. "Aw, drat!"
"Ha!" Oli taunted as he made his way up faster than the other two.
"Oh yeah?" the preppy girl smirked and climbed faster than Oli, making him second.
"No wait! Aaaaaaah!" Oli yelled and fell into the water making a big splash.
"EW!" Olivia yelled from the bottom. "I'm soaking! Ugh!"
"Argh!" Gabe grunted as he tried to beat Mairead but failed as the girl successfully reached the platform.
"YES!" the Heirs cheered as Gabe made his way up as well.
"Gabe and Mairead are qualified for the next part of the challenge but only the Heirs get the point once again!" Chris said.
"Whoo!" Xavier and Clayton cheered in unison.
"No fair!" Gabe crossed his arms.
"Alright, round three!" Candela yelled making the remaining contestants stood up like an army of soldiers. "It's my turn to pick!"
"…Evander for the Breakers, Robert for the Heirs, and Spear for the Repeaters!"
Spear just shrugged in annoyance while Robert didn't have an expression on his face. Evander however, was smiling at the fact that he got picked.
Confessional: In The Bag
Robert (Harmonious Heirs): I'll see if I could get another disgusting point.
Spear (Rhythm Repeaters): I'll be sure to win this endeavor. This round will be in the bag and Meredith here will be going bye-bye. *waves smoothly at the camera*
Evander (Beat Breakers): I can't believe she picked me. *grins*
Candela (host): Y'know, I hate the fact that three of the contestants are crushing on me. I'm just an ugly loser! *smacks the table*
End confessional
Round 3 – Evander (BB) vs Robert (HH) vs Spear (RR)
"GO!" the hosts shouted in unison as the three boys made their way up the scarp.
Or pole.
Or whatever you call it.
"Haha!" Robert cackled as he kicked Spear's shin.
"Ouch!" Spear yelped and kicked it back.
"Ah!" Robert squinted but fell to the water.
Splash!
"Robert hits the water!" Chef announces. "Who'll get the last kick?"
"Aw, come here you!" Spear shouted as he climbed faster to reach the beefhead.
"You're not strong enough." Evander grunted and stepped on the other teen's hand.
"Ow!" Spear yelped in pain.
Confessional: Ow!
Spear (Rhythm Repeaters): First my shin. And now my hand!
Robert (Harmonious Heirs): That loser. *scoffs*
End confessional
Evander made a face and made his way up.
"Stupid hand!" Spear yelled and fell to the water.
"And that's one point for the Breakers but it doesn't count!" Candela said.
Evander gasped. "Why?"
"Because," Candela began. "Blame your teammate who has the Noisy Note."
The Breakers gave the percussionist a death glare.
"Round four! Will the Repeaters catch up?!" Don yelled. "Faith for the Breakers, Xavier for the Heirs, and Meredith for the Repeaters."
"Uh-oh." Xavier gulped.
"I'll be sure to not mess this up." Faith said in determination.
"Says the girl who made our team lose a point." Samuel deadpanned.
"Geez…" Meredith gulped.
Confessional: Messing up
Faith (Beat Breakers): If I mess this one up, I'm dead.
Xavier (Harmonious Heirs): I can do this. I can do this. I can do this.
Meredith (Rhythm Repeaters): Ohhh no, I'm gonna get voted off soon… I'd better pack up my stuff…
End confessional
Round 4 – Faith (BB) vs Xavier (HH) vs Meredith (RR)
"Ready, set, go!" Candela yelled in one second.
"Can you be patient next time?!" Chris demanded.
"Sorry no can do." Candela shrugged. "I just wanna wrap this up so I can go home and play my 3DS."
The trio was now their midway up at the scarp.
"Left… right… left…" Xavier muttered to himself as he kept moving upward.
Unlike the other nine contestants earlier, they were not trying to make contact or they'll fall off.
"Almost there…" Meredith grunted. "Waugh!"
The historian fells into the water.
"That's not getting you another point, Repeaters." Chris smirked at the said team. Amanda rolled her eyes in disgust.
"YES!" Xavier shouted in delight and made his way up.
"Hey, I made it too!" Faith smiled. The two roommates shared a high five. "Do I get a point?"
"No!" Don shouted. "Only the Heirs get a point!"
"Yep." Mairead nodded. "We're winning, alright!"
"Round 5, we have…" Chef takes out a paper from nowhere. "Olivia for the Breakers, Clayton for the Heirs, and Arreis for the Repeaters!"
"What joy." Clayton rolled his eyes sarcastically.
Confessional: The Reason Why I Have an Idea
Clayton (Harmonious Heirs): Just kick their feet and the game will be my trophy.
Arreis (Rhythm Repeaters): Oh my gosh, I am so gonna die here! *runs away*
Olivia (Beat Breakers): Heaven knows who'll win, that's for sure.
End confessional
Round 5 – Olivia (BB) vs Clayton (HH) vs Arreis (RR)
"G-"
"Go like there's no yesterday!" Don cut off Chris.
"Whoopee…" Chris rolled his eyes.
As planned, Clayton kicked Arreis's foot and in less than ten seconds, the girl fell to the water.
"That was like, so lame!" she yelled.
"Holy crap." Olivia looked at the ground to see she was already high up. "Oh jeez!"
She yelled as the emo kicked her arm.
"Look, Clayton." Olivia narrowed her eyes. "This isn't a game of soccer so stop kicking everyone!"
"Oh yeah?" Clayton sneered. "Oh- whoa!"
The emo lost his grip and fell.
"And Olivia wins just like that!" Chef applauded.
"YAHOO!" Gabe shouted.
"GOOGLE!" yelled Faith.
"BING!" shouted Samuel.
"MOZILLA FIREFOX!" Kimmie screamed.
"What the heck was that for?!" Evander glared.
"Sorry!" the dreamer shrunk. "Was that too awkward?"
"Okay, stop saying anymore search engines and let's get onto the final round!" Candela snapped. "The three who are left, position!"
Round 6 – Samuel (BB) vs May (HH) vs Sal (RR)
"Readysetgo!" the hosts shouted in one breath.
"Ugh!" the cowardly figure skater lost her grip and fell.
"Really?" Candela said sarcastically. "You're my personal favorite in my OCs yet you failed me. Bravo."
"But-" May was about to say something but nothing came out.
"And the two guys reached the top at the same time!" Chris said. "I need my phone!"
"Ehrm..." Don muttered. "What?"
"VIDEO FINISH!" the other three hosts yelled.
"Oh!" Don widened his eyes. "Yeah, right… Wait, I didn't film it!"
"Idiot…" Chris muttered. "Never mind. Sal wins this round."
"Yeah!" Sal grinned.
"What?!" Samuel shrieked. "That's not fair!"
"If you have the Advanced Note, it is." Candela snapped again. "Now, here are the points so far:"
Beat Breakers: 1 point (originally two but one was point deducted due to Faith's Noisy Note)
(Gabe, Evander, Faith, Olivia, and Samuel will proceed to next round)
Harmonious Heirs: 3 points
(Vivianne, Mairead, and Xavier will proceed to next round)
Rhythm Repeaters: 2 points (originally one but an additional point was added due to Sal's Advanced Note)
(Sal will proceed to next round)
Out: Amanda, Kimmie, Oli, Spear, Robert, Meredith, Arreis, Clayton, and May
Confessional: I Can Do Better Than That
Samuel (Beat Breakers): If we lose, my vote goes to Kimmie since she's the only one who's not up here in our team.
Mairead (Harmonious Heirs): Half of us made it, and that's good. Plus we're in the lead!
Sal (Rhythm Repeaters): I'm the only one left? Ugh! How'll I do this myself?
End confessional
"Now the… nine… of you… have to…" Chris grunted as he made his way up the scarp but lost his grip and fell off. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Everyone watched and laughed as the poor host landed to the water.
"AND CHRIS LOSES A POINT!" Chef laughed. "What a shoe. I'll go up myself."
Chef Hatchet grabbed a hook out of nowhere and made his way up.
"Part one of episode one wraps up from here." Candela said, crossing her arms confidently.
"Is this even a clever way to end the first part?" Don baffled.
"Yeah, for me anyway." Candela shrugged. "What will happen in part two of the challenge?"
"What will happen in part two of the episode?" Don asked.
"That's literally the same thing!" Candela smacked her forehead. "You just ruined the outro!"
"Whatever…" Don rolled his eyes. "See you next time on…"
"Total!" the hosts yelled.
"Drama!" the contestants shouted.
"Musical Impact!" Louiza shouted from behind.
"Oh my gosh, I completely forgot you were here!" Candela smacked her forehead again. "Hey, is the camera still on?"
"Yup." Louiza answered.
"Turn it off!" Don yelled.
Louiza ran to the camera but failed to turn it off.
What an epic fail.
"Does the camera man even know how to turn off this thing?!"
"1% battery remaining."
"Did the camera just talked?" everyone asked in unison.
Before you know it, the camera shut down by itself.
