Code Total Drama Reality Revised
Summary: After Season 4 of Total Drama the cast both old and new generations are roped into another season. This time however the competition takes place on the digital plane. At the same time two years have passed since Jeremy Belpois and the others shut down the supercomputer after they thought they destroyed XANA. But they were wrong and now XANA has returned more powerful than ever. France has now become a battlefield for the fate of the Earth.
Episode 1: Origins
He remembered a city laid out before him.
Skyscrapers opening out like shells of blue ladybugs. Roads open, ribbons of color intertwining between the towers. Ships and vehicles moved about but aside from that; a tranquil quietness fell over the city.
He took a form, a form of a young boy.
This form had been made for him, he remembered that much.
Made by someone who wanted to show him what it meant to be…real.
He appeared out of nowhere, the air becoming dense where he appeared the only sign of how he had appeared.
He flexed his fingers and then shot off into the air, gathering speed before he was so above the city it almost looked like he was about to break the atmosphere before his flight turned into a dive. He fell back towards the city, but a smile remained on his face, somersaulting and landing perfectly fine on the ground before coming face to face with the Wall.
He ran because he was expecting someone…
Someone who loved coming here and loved to see all the new and amazing place he would find and show her whenever she visited.
Who was she?
He knew she was someone important.
Someone who was supposed to help him but he couldn't remember why.
She liked coming here, he knew but he once remembered her saying the city felt so empty.
Why would she say that?
There was himself, the Professor and the other but admittedly limited people here that kept him company.
He stopped before the Wall and gazed at it, expecting it to open soon.
He knew she would come.
He knew….
And just like that, the Wall opened and he waited with anticipated glee.
Only she wasn't there but something else came out.
A black mist shot towards him, engulfing him before he could even let out a scream.
Aelita opened her eyes as she fell out of the air, her senses returning as she actually landed on her feet instead of landing on her butt like most of the Lyoko warriors had done when they were first virtualized in the future. Looking around she saw herself not in the lab anymore but in a forest with floating trees surrounding her, a narrow path with a soft green grassy ground. Looking down at her hand she gasped as she noticed her hand looking...different. She also noticed the clothes she wore which were different from the ones she wore when she stepped into the scanner.
She noticed a small puddle and walked over to it, bending over to look at her reflection. She gasped as she saw her appearance, taking notice of the pointed ears with an earring hanging from her left ear.
"Aelita?"
"AH!" Aelita jumped and spun around when she heard her father's voice.
What she saw was a group of white luminous orbs that floated around her.
"Daddy?"
"Yes, it's me, Aelita." Her father's voice came from the largest orb. "Are you all right? Do you feel anything wrong with your body?"
"...No, but what happened to you?" Aelita shook her head.
"Perhaps it takes time for older people's digital bodies to take form." Waldo guessed. "I am sure my body will form in time."
"Is this that place you told me about?" Aelita asked as she walked over to a tree and placed her hand on it.
She could feel how it felt from touching, just like how a real tree felt.
Aelita heard a mechanical clicking sound from behind her and turned to see group of small strange mechanical creatures approaching her with metallic brown colored bodies shaped like roaches except they had four small legs, a red circle on the abdomen, and an eye like symbol on their heads.
"Daddy, there are some strange creatures-"Aelita was cut off as the red marks glowed bright red.
"Aelita run!" Her father shouted as they fired lasers at her.
Aelita screamed as she started running, feeling a laser hit her in the knee making her scream louder. She didn't feel any burn, but her knee was sparkling from the hit. The white orbs that made up Waldo's digital form floated behind her, shielding her from more lasers as the Kankrelats pursued her.
"Aelita, head for that tower!" Waldo cried.
Looking up ahead Aelita saw a tower and she ran for it like her father said. She in front of it as she looked at it.
"I don't see a way in!" She cried.
"Don't worry about that!" One of the white orbs pushed her into the tower and she fell forward.
She expected to hit the tower but instead she fell through and landed face first on something smooth and bright. Looking up she saw herself on a platform with the wall around it covered in data screens.
"Wh-Where am I?" She looked around.
"Inside the tower, where you will be safe." Waldo said as his form materialized inside the tower.
"Daddy?" Aelita walked over to the orbs. "Daddy, what's going on?"
"Stay here, Aelita. I'm going to try and talk to XANA." Her father said.
"Who?"
"A multi-agent program I created to run Lyoko and the Supercomputer. Stay here." Her father flew through the wall.
"Daddy, wait!" Aelita cried.
Aelita sat in the tower and waited for her father to return like he had told her to. Even though she was starting to get worried since he hadn't come back she had to believe he knew what he was doing. After all, he was able to create a digital world for them to hide in so there shouldn't be any trouble at all, right? Still, he had been gone a long time to talk to, who was it again?
"XA-NA." Aelita slowly remembered the name of the program that supposedly attacked her.
How much trouble could it be if it was a simple computer program?
'Probably a simple glitch that he went to correct,' Aelita thought to herself. 'He should be back in a few minutes.'
Still, she was getting anxious from being all alone in the tower. She hated enclosed spaces without someone to keep her company. Looking at the walls lined with blue screens and data streams she was getting restless. She needed to get out and see what was going on outside. Maybe the monsters had gone away, and the danger was over.
Walking across the platform with the giant Eye she walked over to the wall, looking at it for a second. Placing her hand on the wall she gasped as light exploded around her hand. She remembered her father carrying through the wall, but she still found it hard to believe she could pass through the wall of the tower like a ghost. Taking a deep breath she stepped through the wall, seeing only a flash of light as her feet stepped onto the soft grassy ground of the strange forest in the digital world her father had named Lyoko.
The second she was out she gasped as she saw something terrifying. Her father was being surrounded by three large insects resembling hornets that were shooting him with lasers!
"Daddy!"
"Aelita, you must get back into the tower now!" Waldo shouted, straining from the pain of each laser that hit him.
Luckily for Aelita, the Hornets didn't bother to turn to face as her as they continued to bombard Schaeffer with lasers.
Daddy, what's going on?" Aelita shouted when she realized the monsters were not paying attention to her.
"Aelita, I must shut down the supercomputer to stop XANA, he's become a threat to mankind." Schaeffer said as the Hornets continued to fire at him. "I'm sorry for this."
"Daddy?" Aelita asked, stepping back in fear.
"Aelita, run back into the tower now! It'll keep you safe!" Her father shouted.
Aelita ran forward while Yumi, Ulrich, and Odd battled the Creepers behind her. Yumi blocked the lasers from all sides while Odd kept on ducking and firing laser arrows. Ulrich ran up close and slashed the Creepers apart with his digital saber. However, for every Creeper they destroyed more came upon the bridge.
Aelita ran towards her lost memories where when she stopped, coming upon a gap in the path. Looking back, she watched as her friends took out the Creepers only for another batch to come right at them.
"We better not hang around here." Yumi said as she took off for Aelita with Odd and Ulrich following close behind.
The Creepers fired at them, one hitting Odd in the back, causing him to tumble forward. Rolling on his hands and feet he looked to the others as they stopped.
"Go on!" He shouted, his hand shooing at them.
They turned and continued running while he turned back and faced the Creepers. He ran at them on all fours to take them out, but a Creeper shot him in the head, causing his body to change into a wireframe and vanish. Ulrich, Aelita, and Yumi watched with concerned looks as the Creepers slithered after them. They stepped back from the gap, Ulrich and Yumi on either side of Aelita grasping her arms.
They ran and jumped into the air over the gap. Yumi and Ulrich tossed her forward and she landed on the other side safely. She turned back and looked to see Ulrich holding onto the edge with one hand while holding Yumi with another. However, he didn't have to hold her for long as a Creeper shot her and she vanished into a shower of pixels and wires.
The Creepers then fired on Ulrich but now that he didn't have to hold Yumi anymore he pulled out his sword and blocked the lasers.
"Jeremy, Yumi and Odd are down."
"I know. Get Aelita's fragment."
That was when Jeremy had more bad news.
"The whole room is falling apart! Run for it!"
Ulrich and Aelita watched in horror as the bridge began to fall apart.
"Uh no!" Ulrich shouted as they turned and ran.
Barely avoiding falling with platforms they were just on. However, their luck did not last. Aelita slipped and Ulrich stopped to pull her up when the platform fell, and they fell with it. They screamed as they fell into the digital abyss below when they landed on something. Looking down they saw they were on Flying Mantas.
"Jeremy, it's getting worse."
"Oh no it it's getting better."
Ulrich did not understand what he meant by that.
"You're crazy! What's going on?!"
"It's Franz Hopper's who controlling the Mantas."
The Manta Ulrich was on dropped him at the bottom of the stairs while the one Aelita was on flew her up to the top where her fragment resided. Stepping off the Manta, Aelita walked towards the shining ball of light that had a miniature version of herself. Reaching out, she grasped it in her hands, eagerly waiting to be free . . .
When it shattered.
That was when the entire chamber started to collapse. Ulrich looked up in horror as large falling blue blocks fell, crashing anything that was in their way. Including himself. Aelita looked around in horror as the blue blocks avoided hitting her but taking out anyway of escape. The path and the Mantas Franz Hopper controlled were crushed leaving her all alone.
"HELP ME!" She screamed with all of virtual lungs.
"Aelita behind you!"
Aelita turned and her eyes grew wide in horror as the monster known as the Scyphozoa hovered just behind her, reaching out with its tentacles to take all of her memories.
"I don't believe it!" Jeremy exclaimed.
The entire group watched in horror. Ulrich came out of the elevator with a defeated look.
"There wasn't anything I could do."
The Scyphozoa had already captured her and began to drain her memories.
"NO!" Jeremy screamed.
That was when the Scyphozoa dropped her back on the floor, her eyes all wide but now lifeless. Her hand lifted for a second and then fell still and her eyes closed.
"Aelita's...dead!" Jeremy cried, looking down at the floor with his hands on his face.
That was when the entire chamber began dark along the rest of Sector 5. The darkness engulfed the entire sector and one by one all the towers of Lyoko turned red.
"What's going on?" Yumi asked.
"XA-XANA got what he wanted. He has the Keys to Lyoko. He'll be able to get out of the supercomputer." Jeremy replied, crying.
At the same time, XANA shot a specters to the sky, creating a storm to signify his victory. In the dark chamber a shining sphere of light engulfed Aelita. That was when she began to see things before her father took her into Aelita. Her eyes opened, her virtual soul slowly coming back to life.
That was when she devirtualized, leaving behind a reawakened Lyoko.
XANA basked in his victory, watching the gate to the digital sea open. He flew through it and out of Lyoko.
Freedom.
He was free.
He was invincible.
Despite all the efforts of his enemies he had won. XANA surveyed the Worldwide Network he was now in. What a strange and yet fascinating world it was.
An upside-down city that seemed to be endless.
How can he use it in a way to aid the conquest of the human world? Despite his victory there was still a lot of work to do. First, he needed to study the new environment he was now in and see what could benefit him.
Time to explore.
In the following months, XANA learned that he could not survive for long in the Digital Sea due to the overwhelming energy and information. Using the Keys to Lyoko he took from both his creator and Aelita, XANA managed to create exact copies of sectors of Lyoko that connected with a supercomputer, allowing XANA to access systems and facilities outside of the factory in France. XANA was able to infest the entire network, creating more and more Replikas and while they only had one sector each, they were able to provide him with greater power than the one original supercomputer that held Lyoko. It was during his period of investigating the network that a strange signal had been found, something similar to Lyoko.
XANA followed it, finding what appeared to be virtual world in the same shell that suspended Lyoko but was deactivated.
Another virtual world?
XANA would get to the bottom of this.
Nearly a Year Later
Mantas continued firing, circling around the sphere of light like vultures, raining down lasers on it without end.
She conjured a pink orb of energy and tried throwing it but her arm shook, causing it to go wide.
The Mantas continued firing at the glowing orb…
Until it shattered.
"NO!" The poor girl screamed in absolute horror and anguish.
She slammed her hand down on the translucent screen, specifically on the command labelled 'ENTER' causing streams of light to shoot out and destroy the monsters.
But it was too late.
A dense wave of liquid energy poured out of the core and spreads through Sector 5, deleting the Mantas as they tried to flee. And then, it spread to the other sectors of Lyoko, flowing in each direction. An unstoppable tide. It flooded the mountains, the digital trees, the rocks of the desert sector and the frozen lakes.
It was a tidal wave that was hunting XANA down, following its tracks and traces. The white liquid became a mass of tentacles that were released in search of new fragments, possible new hiding places. All the Lyoko monsters, as soon as they were touched by the spheres of white dissolved one by one into colorful bubbles.
Then it entered the Digital Sea, tracking down the Replikas and destroying them one by one. Without the Replikas to sustain him, XANA was left to be crushed by the unlimited information and energy of the Digital Sea. XANA struggled to properly maintain its structure but having been spread out across the Network to create the Replikas had left him vulnerable now without the
When it was finally overcome by the sea of energy, XANA let loose a scream of rage and frustration, while his digital body was destroyed piece by piece.
In the old factory, William Dubar too let out a howl of pain, bending over until he was doubled in on himself. His head tipped towards the ceiling and from his wide-open mouth there gushed a dense smoke, black as pitch, which twisted into wide circular coils, before disappearing into nothingness.
"Aelita, we've done it. XANA's been destroyed. I'll bring you home now."
Aelita barely heard Jeremie's voice, kneeling on the floor as she stared at where her father had been previously…
Before he had sacrificed himself.
XANA was dead but it didn't matter.
Daddy was dead and wasn't coming back with her.
"All in favor of shutting down the supercomputer?"
Four hands went up, followed by his own. He smiled and flipped the switch to off and with that the gentle hum of the massive machine before them died down. It then descended down into the floor that was then closed by a set of steel doors, ensuring that nothing would reawaken it.
The children turned to the elevator and pressed the up button, taking one last look before they finally left the computer along with the factory for good.
Months Later
Audition Tape 1
"Is it on?" Ezekiel asked and then smiled at the camera. "Okay, watch this, guys. I'm gonna bag me a big ol' moose."
He played a kazoo and heard rustling in a nearby bush. He took out a bow and arrow and without aiming, shot an arrow with a satisfied look on his face.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" A woman screamed off-screen.
"Mom?" Ezekiel asked with a horrified face and ran out of sight of the camera. "Oh shoot! I'm sorry!"

"Fifty-Seven, Fifty-Eight, Fifty-Nine, Sixty." Eva got down off the rail, facing the camera. "You see that? I'm the only girl in school who can do more than ten pull-ups. Whatever you throw at me, I can handle it. Bring it-"
A basketball suddenly hit her in the face in mid-sentence.
"Hey!" Eva barked and ran off-screen. "You're dead! You hear me?!"
(Static)
Eva walked back into view of the camera. "So, if you want a really strong competitor who gets along with everyone. Pick me." She leaned forward and whispered. "You can edit this right?"
The camera went up and down, signaling a nod from the person holding it.
"Awesome, thanks." Eva crossed her arms.
Audition Tape 3
"Hey, I'm Noah." Noah introduced himself with a confident smile. "You may not know me, but you will because I'm going places. See, I got a plan…"
"Hey, Noah." Someone called off-screen. "Way-to-go on winning class president. You deserve it, man."
"Thanks, Joey." Noah said with a wave of his hand before facing the camera. "See, I got smarts and that's what wins in the end. Trust me, I got this in the bag."
Audition Tape 4
"Justin."
A black and white video of Justin holding a washed up starfish played, letting the water drip on him.
"Justin."
A dolphin washed up next to him.
"Justin."
Audition Tape 5
80's techno music began to play as two girls, Katie and Sadie came into view, dancing to the music. Things went well until Katie spun a bit too fast towards the camera, knocking it down.
Audition Tape 6
The video started with Tyler standing on a football field. "What you need on this show is a real athlete and I'm your man. Yeah baby! Catch this action!"
He tried to throw a football but dripped over his duffle bag. Next, he tried to do a high dive into a pool, only to belly flop. Finally, he tried to do a slam dunk but instead hit the pull and the basketball landed on his head.
Audition Tape 7
"Okay, so there are some things you should know about me." Izzy started. "Um, I'm really loyal and I'm like so smart you have no idea. Maybe even a genius. And but the thing I'm best is…I'm awesome at twirling fire batons!"
The camera zoomed out, showing Izzy in a parade outfit with a tiara as she twirled a fire baton in one hand. "Okay, you ready."
She tossed the baton in the air, catching it but caused fire sprinklers above to go off.
"Oops." Izzy chuckled nervously. "Okay, should not do that indoors. Sorry, Mom!"
Audition Tape 8
After checking to see if the camera is on, Cody went over to an electric keyboard and did what only could be described as a horrible rendition of a rap song. "Girl, you know it's true. You make me feel so blue. When you don't come around, I was lost and now I'm found."
"Cody!" A man's voice shouted off-screen. "What did I tell you about making all that noise?"
"Sorry, dad!" Cody apologized but turned to the camera with a smile. "He just doesn't get it. I'm going to be a super-star one day. Even bigger-"
(Static)
Audition Tape 9
The audition started with Beth holding a microphone, dancing to a musical tune. "Get her, boy are cool. Yeah, yeah, want to be with you, yeah, yeah. Can you, ha, call me, cuz I'll be here for you. Call me…uh, you yeah, and when you call me-"
"Beth!" A voice shouted off-screen, making Beth cover her microphone and turn off the music. "Beth, what's all that racket up there?"
"Nothing." Beth hid the microphone behind her back and then whispered to the camera. "One day, I'm going to be a star. You'll see, they'll see."
Audition Tape 10
Sadie picked the camera back up as the music started back up. She and Katie (who, by now, has regained consciousness) do a mock pillow fight. Katie knocked Sadie lightly, and they shared a laugh. Sadie accidentally knocked Katie unconscious again, and she realized what she had done and turns off the camera.
Audition Tape 11
"Vote for Courtney! Hi, vote for Courtney! Oh," Courtney turned to the camera. "Hi, so as you know, I'm running for student council president and if I win, I will be the youngest one ever at this school"
(Take 2)
"If you pick me for your new show, I promise I'll conduct myself with integrity, honor and," She held up two fingers. "I'll get two new pop machines for the cafeteria…Oh (bleep)! I just mixed up the two speeches. Can we start over?"
The camera shook.
"What do you mean 'no'?" Courtney scowled.
"I mean, I've got to get to gym class." The person holding the camera answered.
Courtney narrowed her eyes, leaned forward and grabbed the camera. "You promised you'd tape my audition for Total Drama Island, Tom!"
The camera was pointed up into the sky as Courtney continued to berate Tom.
"Look just give me the camera. Give it to me!"
(Take 3)
"Ugh, you are so not going to be my secretary if I win." Courtney grumbled before facing the camera with a smile. "Vote for Courtney!"
Audition Tape 12
In his audition tape, Harold is standing in his room wearing a possum scout uniform. "I've got badges in bass fishing, basketry, Farm mechanics, model making, rabbit raising and stamp collecting with a master badge in compass reading." Harold exhaled deeply as he brought over a keyboard and starts to play it, but it fell over.
The screen then has static and fades to black, ending the video with only Harold's wheezing being heard.
Bonus Clip 1
The clip shows Chef Hatchet in the cafeteria, cleaning up a rather disgusting mess. "They done took this far man. Mama was right, I should have become one of them charting accountants but nooooo, I got to go into the business, be a big star."
Bonus Clip 2
"Yeah, it was like this miracle." The clip opens with a pair of drink cups being filled up with a strange sap. "I was escaping the RCMP on a felony charge when I came across this abandoned barge off the shores of Lake Huron. Inside was a cargo of maple syrup and these cheap plastic souvenir beavers made in China. One look at them and presto: Izzy's happy sap was born!"
Izzy held up the canteen that she had used to pour the sap.
"You can buy them everywhere. I'm a zillionare!" Izzy declared proudly before holding up a picture of Justin. "That's when I started dating Justin. He's a model now, you know."
She suddenly ripped the picture in two.
"But we broke up cus I found out he's a liar and if there is one thing I can't stand that's a liar!" Izzy snapped.
"Oh, I hear you, Iz." Chris said, the came zooming out to show him sitting behind a desk next to Izzy. "If there's one thing I can't stand: it's phonies and liars."
"That's two things." Izzy pointed out, picking up her cup. "Here's to being famous."
The audience clapped as Chris and Izzy enjoyed their drinks.
Audition Tape 13
"I'm just a man," In his audition, Trent sang a song about 'that one girl,' while playing the guitar in a recording studio. "Just a one-woman man. Yeah, that's all I am and if I can I want to find that one woman-"
A string suddenly broke.
"Aw crap."
Audition Tape 14
"Okay, Bridge, we're rolling."
"All right!"
"Go for it, Bridge!"
"Show what you got, babe!"
Bridgette in her one-piece swimsuit posed confidently with her hands on her hips next to her surfboard. "Kay, here goes."
Bridgette then started whistling 'Yankee Doodle' through her nose, stopping midway. "Okay, I know I suck but I am a real friend and an honest player and if you pick me, I promise to either win with integrity or leave with my head held high."
Audition Tape 15
"The audition says to list my best qualities but there's so many." Lindsay is sitting on her bed with her dog, listing all of her qualities and talents. "I'm pretty and smart and I get along with everyone, even ugly girls." Lindsay nodded. "Hm-hm. I love camping, even though I've never gone. I have bikinis for every season, even the ones not listed on the calendar and I'm bi-languagable. I speak fluent English and American."
Audition Tape 16
DJ set his camera up before running into the middle of his room. "Hey dawg, DJ here. I think I'd be a good contestant for Total Drama Island because I'm kind and courteous, I work well with others and I'm strong and well, I was raised right." DJ held up a picture of his mother. "Thanks, Mom. Actually, my mom's the reason I want to win. She taught me I could be anything I want…" DJ suddenly broke down in tears, holding the picture. "I love you, Mom. That's it, thanks for listening. Bye."
Audition Tape 17
Izzy is shown again, hanging upside down on monkey bars. "Izzy is name my, freaky being enjoy I."
Izzy somersaulted off the monkey bars and landed perfectly on the ground. "Whoa, okay-okay! Here's what I can do. I can roll my eyes all the way back in my head."
She rolled her eyes up into her head to demonstrate.
"I can also double-joint both of my elbows. Okay, catch an eyeful of this." She literally double-jointed her elbows to prove her claim. "And oh, I can wrap my tongue around my head like a turban."]
The camera fell to the ground just as she stuck her tongue out, but she picked it back up a few seconds later. "Okay, so let me be on Total Drama Island. Boring will never be it…"
"Izzy."
"What Mom?!"
Audition Tape 18
In his audition tape, Geoff is relaxing in a beach chair, with a drink next to him. "Mhm, just a typical night with me and my buds, just a couple hundred of us and sixty or seventy party pizzas." Geoff then high-fived one of his buds. "Whoo! See, is like," He snapped his fingers. "That, man. You don't stop and have a party every Monday or uh…every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, you're going to regret it. So, peace, chill out, party, it's all good my friends."
Geoff put his hat over his head and lied back on his beach chair, relaxing.
Audition Tape 19
"Hey y'all! LeShawna in the house, big, bold and boo delicious. I'm giving a shout-out to my TDI crew, if you want a sister who's straight up large and in charge then give a holler back 'cause I'm all that and a bag of chips." She held up her cellphone, expecting a call.
A call that never came.
"Well, what you waiting for, fools? I ain't got all day."
Audition Tape 20
The next audition tape showed only a coconut with red lipstick drawn on it, sitting on a beach chair and a drink resting on the armchair. The coconut suddenly fell 'face' first into the ground.
Audition Tape 21
Duncan is seen climbing down the wall of the juvenile delinquency hall he was staying at. "Hey, Duncan here, but then you probably know me since I'm somewhat of a local celebrity around these parts. Yeah, photographers are taking my picture all the time. It's because of my charm and good looks and the fact that I live in a big house with tons of security cameras and guard dogs. If I had to pick my best quality, I'd say I'm resourceful.
"Yeah, I'm pretty quick on my feet." Duncan let go of the rope and landed on the ground he gets hit by a search light; the alarm goes off with dogs barking.
"Well, it's been nice chatting with you, but I really got to run." With that, he took off, running away from the guard dogs.
Audition Tape 22
Heather walked out of the shower with nothing on but a purple towel, and a second one on her head. "Will I be nervous if I am chosen to be on the show? No, why should I be? I am extremely comfortable being on live television. I know I look good; some girls may have issues with their bodies but maybe they just aren't as pretty as I am. Pick me and I promise high ratings."
She then threw off her towel, off-screen.
One Year Later
In the depths of the rainforest, they scuttled through the forests. Chittering sounds could be heard as they moved. They stopped, hearing something and 'looked' up to see a giant aircraft flying over the forest and was seemingly landing nearby.
They moved in the direction of the craft.
"Welcome to Lima Peru, the birthplace of the mighty Amazon River! This challenge is called the Am-AH-zon Race. Teams must hike along an ancient Inca trail through the Peruvian jungle all the way to Machu Picchu. Hidden somewhere amongst the ruins of Machu Picchu a golden treasure awaits discovery. Find the gold then your team wins first class seats to our next destination. Last team who makes it will be sending someone out the door of the plane. Oh and be careful, this jungle contains many vicious bugs out here." Chris snickered. "Bloodsuckers, stingers, and yes poisonous ones."
Cody raised his hand, but Chris waved him off. "Yes, Cody, the legal department made me aware of your deadly allergies and we supplied you with an epipen. " Chris held it out and Cody tried to grab but Chris stopped him. "Wouldn't make sense to give it to the person who has the allergies. What if you need an injection and your unconscious?"
"Oh, oh! Me!" Sierra waved in her hand to volunteer.
"Who can we get to carry this?" Chris 'wondered' with a smile.
"Oh, Chris! Chris! Chris!"
"Uh..." Cody looked over to Gwen.
Gwen herself did not like the idea but sighed when Cody was giving her the puppy dog look. "Fine, I'll take it." She then whispered. "Damn look."
"What?!" Sierra cried. "No! I'm the only one who knows what sends Cody into anaphylactic shock!" She then started counting. "Black ants, brown ants, red ants, bugeo bees, wolf spiders, katydid crickets, the clear winged Sutherious Perenna butterfly and goat saliva!"
"Goat saliva? Must make dating a little tough, huh Cody?" Chris tossed the epipen at Gwen. "Here you are, Gwen!"
Gwen gasped, catching the epipen but noticed Sierra glaring at her, causing her to look around nervously while Cody pumped a fist in the air.
"Also in the jungle are the Zings-Zings, a native tribe who have never encountered modern man and they are not about to. If you spot a Zing-Zing, do NOT make contact." Chris finished, holding up a picture of men wearing tribal clothing and masks. "They-"
BANG-BANG!
Chris scowled and turned around. "Will you stop that?!"
Chef was banging his hands on a drum as soon as Chris started talking about the Zing-Zings.
"How are far is it to mucky pitchy?" Owen asked.
"Machu Picchu is a a hop, skip, and a jump from here eighteen-hours." Chris answered, earning a series of groans from the contestants. "The jungle is too dangerous at night, so teams will break it at dusk and camp along the trail until the sun rises."
"And I assume there are no tents right?" Alejandro asked.
"Correctamundo. Now, because the playing area is vast and dangerous, each team will have a walkie-talkie that can only be used in emergencies." Chris looked over at Izzy. "Teams, I wish you all good luck or at the very least, a lack of death."
With that said the challenge started but the teams first had to decide which path they were going to take.
"Okay...Eenie, meenie, miney left?" Lindsay pointed to the left path.
DJ, and Bridgette had no objections and followed her down the left path.
"So, you guys think left? Yeah, left! Left is a good idea!" Tyler said, trying to not show he just wanted to follow Lindsay.
Team C didn't really care as they followed Tyler into the woods leaving Team Amazon alone.
"Maybe we should go right?" Gwen asked aloud. "No guarantee that the same path they are taking is right."
"No, left! Even if its wrong, at least everyone else will be wrong!" Sierra objected.
As the teams walked along their respective routes, no one noticed that they were being watched. Actually, they knew they were being watched but unaware of the extra set of 'eyes' on them, spying on not just the contestants but Total Drama Jumbo Jet.
Gwen and Cody were at the very back of the team and Cody decided to strike a conversation with her.
"Hey, thanks for holding my epipen." Cody started.
"No problem." Gwen nonchalantly replied.
"You know how to use it, right?"
"Not a clue."
"If I get bit," Cody whispered into her ear. "You jam the needle into my butt."
Gwen recoiled in disgust and handed it back to Cody. "You're on your own."
Cody sighed, putting the epipen into his pocket. Bugs started flying around him and he waved his hands around to make them go away.
"Hey, bug off!" A giant mosquito flew in and picked him up. "Help! Help!"
A rock shot up and hit the mosquito on the face, causing it to drop Cody who landed in Sierra's arms.
"I'm the only one who will be there for you, Cody!" Sierra said, carrying him over her shoulder. "Always!"
Cody just groaned. "I'm doomed."
As the challenge dragged on, no one noticed something slipping onto the Total Drama Jumbo Jet. In the cargo hold, a certain home prairie boy heard a scuttling sound and immediately took cover. Peeking his out, he spotted what looked to be large…spiders scuttering along the cargo hold of the Jumbo Jet. They were metallic, silver and black and were eating at pieces of metal along the walls.
Ezekiel had no idea what was going on and he trembled while struggling to remain still and silent. The spiders continued to 'eat' away at the metal before stopping and moving along. Ezekiel remained still as the spiders scuttered past him, apparently not seeing him. The spiders made their way into the jet's engines, biting away at anything metal all over the place before they had enough and left the way the came.
Ezekiel was still hiding and shivering when they left.
"Work you little-" Chef grunted, trying to start the Jumbo Jet's engines.
No good.
The engines were stalling, and he even spotted smoke rising from one of the turbines.
"Leave it to Chris to pick a flying junk heap that stops working in the middle of a season." Chef muttered to himself as he grabbed his toolbox.
"What's taking so long to take off?" Chris complained to Chef who was working on the turbines.
"Something took a bite out of the turbines!" Chef shouted as he jumped down. "I've been replacing half-eaten parts for the last hour! And some sparts are missing!"
"What eats an engine?" Chris raised an eyebrow.
"Don't ask me! We're in the Amazon, fool! Who knows what monsters are out there?" Chef exclaimed, gesturing to the forest and then down on the ground. "Best I can tell, it was a bunch of them."
Chris looked down and saw dozens of tracks made by some kind of animal he more than likely had no clue what it could be. "Well, we can't stay on the ground here forever. I'll round up some interns and maybe some contestants to check out what that animal might be and see if they can get back the stolen parts."
"Could be dangerous." Chef pointed out, a small smile forming on his face.
"Yeah." Chris grinned. "For them."
"I can't believe Chris expects us to go looking for some dangerous animal while he tries fixing that rust-bucket." Heather complained to herself and flinching in disgust from the golden tooth that had been inserted in her mouth by those actors.
Gwen in the meantime was still nursing a headache from the adrenaline rush that Cody's epipen had given her. She might need to consult a doctor to make sure there weren't any long-lasting effects from being injected. All she wanted to do was lie down and sleep, but they couldn't until the Jet was repaired and that meant finding any missing parts.
Since Team Amazon and Team CHIRRRRH(She is never saying anything with the words 'Hot' and 'Chris' in the same sentence) were the losers of today, they were being sent out to look for these so-called metal eating animals and any stolen parts. It was in the middle of the day so they had a few hours before they would be forced to head back to the plane before it would take off with or without the contestants and missing parts. Gwen would have been nervous about being voted off if she hadn't already talked Cody, Courtney and Sierra into voting off Heather this time.
Right now, she just wanted to find whatever stupid parts might be lying around and get back on the Jet. So she did her best to block out Heather's complaining and just look around. Nearby, Izzy was sniffing the ground, following the tracks as they led deeper into the forest. However, the tracks became harder to follow as they led deeper into the jungle.
"Are we sure we should go any further?" Cody shivered. "The deeper we go, the greater the chances we might run into something."
"I will protect you, Cody." Sierra gushed from behind him.
Cody shivered again but Gwen paid no attention. She had enough of Cody after the stunts he pulled with the epipen and the X-Ray glasses.
"Oh man, can't we just go back." Owen collapsed on the ground. "I haven't eaten anything since yesterday. I feel thinner than a flagpole."
Funny, he didn't look even half as thin as he claimed.
Noah in the meantime just casually looked around, not really taking the 'job' Chris had given them seriously. "Just take five, big guy. There are no cameras on us."
Izzy suddenly perked up and looked up at the trees with an excited smile. "I hear something. We're getting closer."
"By all means, lead the way." Alejandro gestured.
Izzy shot forward and jumped over a downed tree. "Oh wow! No way! Check this out!"
The two teams climbed over the downed tree and followed Izzy's gaze to see…
"What in the world?" DJ asked.
Before them was a large complex of some kind with fences and radio towers.
"Looks like a research facility." Cody offered. "Probably top secret."
"Then we better go." Courtney suggested. "I doubt it would be good for us if we're caught trespassing here."
"Fine by me." Heather shrugged and turned around, walking back the way they came.
Most of the others did so but Gwen suddenly stopped and noticed something. Something was moving under the cover of some nearby bushes. Eyes widening, Gwen froze with worry that a predator was hiding in those bushes. She stayed still but was ready to run at a moment's notice as she carefully staired at the bushes.
A slight movement caught her attention, and she took a step back. "Hello? Is someone there?"
No answer.
Maybe she was imagining things.
She then noticed lying near the bushes. "Wait, is that…"
It appeared to be a piece from one of the Total Drama Jet's turbines. Gwen walked over and knelt down to get a better look.
"Well, I guess this is the best Chris will have to settle for." Gwen muttered as she grabbed the piece…only for something to grab on from the other side. "Huh?"
She pulled with more effort but something pulled even harder and she was pulled right into the bushes.
"GAH!" Gwen wildly thrashed her arms and leg as something pinned her down.
All she could remember was looking at something…
A robot?
Eight legs…
A spider robot.
Black eyes…
And something else, a strange eye on the spider's forehead.
That was all Gwen would remember as she blacked out.
…
…
"…n?"
…
…
"...G-en?"
…
…
…
"Uh…" Finally, her eyes opened, and she looked around. "Where?"
"Hey, Gwen." She looked up to see DJ staring down at her with concern. "Are you okay?"
Upon further inspection, Gwen could see she was in DJ's arms as he carried her back to the plane. "I…think so. What happened?"
"We were hoping you could tell us." Heather rudely said as she walked up behind DJ. "What did you do? Did you go wandering off into that place?"
"I…" Gwen trailed off. "I thought I saw something…I remember seeing what looked like a part and then…nothing."
"We came back and found you on the ground, nothing else." DJ replied. "Just glad whatever you saw didn't hurt you."
"…Yeah." Gwen nodded.
Later, after the Elimination Ceremony that turned out to be an be an award instead, thus saving Heather from elimination much to Gwen's disappointment the goth girl was staring down at her notebook as she tried to remember what had happened to her.
She thought she saw a spider…A big one.
A big robotic one.
And then there was something else.
Her artist eye for detail allowed her one important detail about the spider that stood out in her mind.
Two circles surrounding a single dot with a single bar sticking out from the top and three more at the bottom.
There was something about this eye…symbol…thing that really stood out in her mind.
Something that made her feel really nervous.
As the Total Drama Jumbo Jet left the Amazon Rain Jungle behind, deep in the research facility, the sound of gears and sparking could be heard if anyone was present. They moved with the parts and pieces they had 'eaten' and applied them to a damaged supercomputer, slowly repairing it for the day when it would be reactivated.
Weeks Later
In a cold, snow filled area, a girl happened to be running for her life. Behind her was a large, Siberian Brown Bear, snarling and growling as it chased after her.
She screamed as she ran, catching the attention of several people up ahead.
"Bridgette? What are you doing here?" One of them asked. "We were expecting Blainley-"
"Talk later! Run now!" She shouted, running past them.
They turned and saw the bear coming, letting out startled screams. She looked back and to her horror saw the bear pounce on one of the interns, crushing him to death. She gasped in terror but couldn't do anything to help as she and the other intern continued running.
Music played in the background as the title of the show appeared:
TOTAL DRAMA
WORLD TOUR
AFTERMATH
The audience cheered as the lights swirled around the stage.
"Attention, Total Drama fanatics, forget the Aftermath. This is Total Drama After Mayhem." The host walked onto the stage, earning more cheers from the audience. "I'm your co-host Geoff and this is…weird because Bridge is supposed to meet me up here."
By which, he meant his girlfriend Bridgette.
Geoff, the Funniest Guy Around as he was labeled by the show simply shrugged. "But maybe she's going to surprise me. Makes sense, this whole show is full of mega surprises. But first, no one's going to get an allergic reaction to these nuts." He pointed to the right. "It's the peanut gallery!"
Following his finger, the light shined on the eliminated contestants from the current season of Total Drama and the ones who did not qualify for this year's season.
LeShawana, the Sister with Tude.
Harold, the Uber-Geek.
Beth, the Wannabee.
Justin, the Eye-Candy.
Trent, the Cool Guy.
Lindsay, the Dumb Princess.
Izzy, the Psycho Hose-Beast.
Eva, the Female Bully.
Katie, the Sweet Girl.
Sadie, the Sweet Girl's friend.
And DJ, the Brickhouse with Heart.
They all either waved, smiled or just glanced in the direction of the audience in reply to the cheers.
"And get this, our own obnoxious, self-centered, rude reporter Blainley is finally roving." Geoff announced, earning even more cheers. "Like way far from here!"
Lindsay and Izzy clapped the most happily at the news.
"Yes, Blainley's off on a Total Drama tour to potential new franchise locations and she's meeting with one Total Drama super fan contest winner in each country." Geoff explained as a map shown to highlight Blainley's locations and travels was shown. "Stay tuned because apparently this super fan is Blainley obsessed."
Geoff paused to consider what he had just said. "Wow, never thought I'd say that." He turned to the right side of the stage. "Take it away, Bridge."
Strangely, Bridgette the Surfer Girl did not come out with only a janitor being shown, scratching his rear end to which he glared at the cameraman for filming.
"Where's my tofu-angel at?" Geoff wondered as Lindsay waved at the camera.
"Here's a hint: they eat a lot of red meat there." A voice said and everyone gasped as a woman with long blond hair and wearing a red dress strolled onto the stage.
"You." Geoff gaped and pointed at the woman who was in fact Blainley. "You're supposed to be-"
"Well said, Geoffy boy." Blainley cut him off, hands on her hips and a smile on her face.
Geoff narrowed his eyes. "What did you do with her?"
"Oh, Geoff. How Bridgette left doesn't matter." Blainley shrugged. "What matters is that she did leave and I'm officially back in my co-host seat."
"But I thought you wanted out of your contract so you could-" Geoff began skeptically.
"Bail on this dork train before my career is flushed down the bathroom confessional toilet of life?" Blainley finished for him. "Hmph, turns out if the live show runs long I don't get paid and if I try to leave the show for any other reason than being fired or accidently killed on set by a falling light, I'll get sued."
Geoff looked up and noticed one of the lights over Blainley's head dangling a bit. "Come on, come on."
"Nice." Blainley simply said, catching Geoff's hopes that the lights would fall on her head, likely killing her. "Almost makes me wish the producers had set me on the tour instead of Bridgette." She smiled. "Almost."
"The producers sent her away?" Geoff mumbled, bringing a finger to his ear where a small earbud could be seen. "Huh? Really?"
"Okay." Blainley stood up and walked forward. "On with the show."
"Not so fast." Geoff grabbed Blainley by the arm. "As far as my producers know, you're standing by with our super fan right now in…" Geoff tapped his earbud again. "The frigid mountains of Siberia? Siberia? Where is Siberia? We've got her on the feed?" Geoff asked anxiously. "Put her up!"
The large TV screen above showed a nearly white background with barely a dark outline that could be made out.
"Oh, come on." Geoff groaned. "It's all static."
"I'm pretty sure that's a blizzard." Blainley corrected, arms crossed.
The dark outline came closer to the camera, revealing it was Bridgette wearing a light blue winter coat and gloves though that didn't seem to protect her very much from the cold.
Geoff narrowed his eyes at Blainley. "You did this. But how?"
"I just took Bridgette to the airport-"
She put Bridgette in a potato sack when she wasn't looking.
"-to shoot a special report."
She then threw the sack holding Bridgette in the back of a truck but she fell back out.
"Slipped my passport and ticket into her purse-"
Blainley carried the sack up to a rather rusty looking plane, throwing her on the slamming the door on her.
"-and helped her on the plane right before takeoff." Blainley calmly answered.
By this point, Geoff was trembling with anger at the smug looking woman. "Must…resist…urge…to murder-"
"GEOFF!" Bridgette's voice cried over the speakers.
Geoff looked up with a surprised face. "Hey baby. You okay, Bridgy Bear?"
That was likely meant to calm Bridgette down, but it had the opposite effect. "Bear? Is the bear back? We've already lost one intern."
That was when seemingly an avalanche of snow fell right on top of her, causing her to scream before the live feed was cut.
"Bridge! Bridge, Bridge, Briiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidge-"
As the show continued, Bridgette and the intern managed to escape the bear, coming upon the house of the super fan.
Sniffling, Bridgette walked up to the house and knocked on the door that was then opened to reveal a large Russian man wearing a heavy fur coat.
"Who are you?" The man asked in a thick Russian accent.
"I am Bridgette from Total Drama, here to int-" Bridgette stated but was immediately cut off.
"Total Drama? But you are not Blainley." The man, turning out to be the super fan immediately got angry. "WHERE BLAINLEY?!"
The man started throwing anything he could pick up at her and the interns, causing her to dock while the interns took off, running random directions and leaving her alone with the big angry super fan.
That was when she noticed the camera was back on.
"So, Bridge," The annoying voice of that woman who stranded her out here came over the speaker. "Last time you were this cold, you made out with a pole."
"Bridge, talk to me." Geoff's voice asked anxiously.
"Ssss-uper fan's mad I'm not Blainley." Bridgette stuttered, her teeth chattering from the cold, ducking under a baby seal that was thrown at her. "WILL YOU STOP THROWING THINGS AT MY HEAD?! OOF!"
A sausage hit her in the stomach, and she immediately threw it back.
"What does he want?" Geoff asked.
"Is he hot?" Blainley's voice asked next, clearly not caring that she had almost gotten Bridgette killed. "Like pole hot?"
Oh, she just had to go there.
"Boyfriend and Drama Brothers sing traditional Russian song to Blainley." The super fan answered Geoff's question.
"Aw, tell my super fan I think he's super fantastic." Blainley replied.
Unfortunately, Bridgette didn't have to listen to whatever song that was being played as the big bear had found her again, swatting the camera aside.
"Oh no, Bridgette! She's going to be buried alive!"
"Odd, will you turn off that TV? It's fake."
"How do you know that?"
"All reality shows are fake. Plus, how would someone literally kidnap and send all the way someone to Siberia and not be charged with kidnapping or attempted murder. It's all fake."
"I don't know, Jeremy. This all seems to real to be fake."
"They're actors, they paid to make it look real. Trust me, your favorite 'surfer' girl is not in any danger."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Bridgette screamed and immediately started running, the bear hot on her tail.
Luckily, from being Total Drama for three seasons, Bridgette had actually become very athletic and was able to actually outrun the bear but just barely as she took cover in a cave only for the bear to corner her.
She was trembling now, her life flashing before her eyes and she wondered if she was going to die here.
The bear was about to creep forward…until it let out a howl of pain. Bridgette paused and watched as it held up its paw and revealed an extremely large sliver embedded in it. Bridgette let out a gasp of empathy, unable to help herself as any animal in pain would be enough to make her feel sad.
So, taking a deep breath, she took a step forward towards the bear that immediately growled at her.
"Easy, easy." She held up both hands in a placating gesture. "I'm not going to hurt you."
The bear's growling slowly subsided, possibly seeing that she wasn't a threat, and the pain was too much for the animal.
"Shhhh, it's okay." Bridgette softly said, taking the bear paw in her hands.
The surfer softly grasped the splinter and with some effort, removed it.
"I have some first aid with me for emergencies." Bridgette took out some bandages and wrapped them around the injured paw.
"I have to stay until Bruno gets better!" Bridgette said on-screen.
"But Bridge," Geoff started with a disheartened face. "You can't stay…What about the show? What about me? You can't leave me with this…" He gestured to Blainley who scowled. "Thing. Bridge!"
The TV went static again.
"See, Odd. That's how you know it's fake. No bear would just stop to attack just because it was injured, and no human would stick around to try tending to the bear. Completely fake."
"There you go." Bridgette said softly to the bear she had named Bruno who let out a pleased snort and licked her across the face. "Aw…Thanks. Now I just need to find my way out of here."
Unfortunately, Blainley had taken her passport and wallet when she kidnapped her and thus until Geoff sent someone to get her, she was stuck in Siberia. As much as she used to being in extreme weathers, she couldn't wait in a bear's cave for help to come. Luckily, the interns had left behind a detailed map of Siberia so if she could make it to the camp site the interns had set up, she could wait until help arrived.
"Guess I need to find shelter now." Bridgette sighed, looking at the cave entrance. "I just hope the plane comes back soon."
She knew she needed to get moving soon or the weather out there would get worse. She took one last look at Bruno who calmed down since she had bandaged his wound. Despite losing an intern, Bridgette knew that Bruno was only an animal that needed to eat to live. Unfortunately, interns dying was by this point the norm for Total Drama, especially when working for people like Chris and Blainley. Bridgette only hoped that someone would tell the families and they could find some form of justice.
"Well, Bruno." She said, causing the bear to look at her. "I have to go now. I need to find my way back home."
Bruno seemingly understood her and let out a whimper.
"I know but I can't stay here. I have family back home waiting for me." Bridgette patted the bear on the head. "I just hope I can find my way back."
Giving Bruno one last pat on the head, Bridgette turned and walked out of the cave, pulling her hood over her head and began her trek into the cold, snowy land. It was a rough trip and Bridgette didn't have anything to show her where the plane would be landing.
No compass.
No GPS.
Not even a phone.
She wondered if she had been crazy to leave the cave, but she couldn't stay there. Even if she had bandaged Bruno's paw, he was still a bear, and bears could be aggressive when they were hungry. So she set out into the cold land with snow and wind making it very difficult to see and she could feel her face going numb from the cold temperature.
She heard snorting and turned to see… "Bruno?"
The bear walked up behind her but instead of attacking, it rubbed against her leg.
"You're…coming with me?" Bridgette asked, almost speechless.
Bruno just rubbed against her leg again.
"Okay…But please don't attack the interns." Bridgette reluctantly agreed, knowing she couldn't just refuse a Siberian Bear.
So, the two walked off together, trying to find the landing area where the pick-up point. However, it was hard to tell if they were even going in the right direction.
'I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to even stumble upon an abandoned cabin all the way out here.' Bridgette thought to herself.
Just then, she thought she saw something in the distance. She squinted her eyes, making out some kind of building.
"Maybe that's the pick-up point!" Bridgette smiled brightly. "Come on, Bruno!"
The bear quickly followed her as she ran in the direction of the building but the closer she got to the mysterious structure, the more detailed the strange building seemed to be. There was a large satellite dish with what looked like a radio tower.
"I don't think this is the pick-up point, Bruno." Bridgette came to a halt and looked around. "Looks more like a…military base. I hope I don't get arrested for trespassing."
That was the absolute last thing she needed right now.
Still, it was freezing cold and maybe the military could help her if she managed to explain herself right and promise she wasn't trying to sneak in. So, with that in mind, she took a walk around the base to see if anyone was there. She even stopped by a security camera and waved her hand at it, hoping for some kind of reaction.
"Hello?" Bridgette called out. "Anyone here?"
The sound of the wind was the only answer to her question.
"I guess it's abandoned." Bridgette mumbled to herself and Bruno who stayed close to her. "Maybe we can find a way inside to get away from the cold."
She didn't like the idea of trespassing, but it was freezing, and she didn't know how long it would be before anyone found her. She found the main entrance and looked for some sort of door and found one a few minutes later. It looked like an electronic door meaning she needed some sort of key or passcode to get in.
"Rats." Bridgette grumbled, banging against the door. "Can't get in."
Bruno looked between Bridgette and the door, sniffing at it for a moment before letting out a soft growl.
"Bruno?" Bridgette stepped back and watched as the bear stood on his hind legs and began clawing and smashing at the door. "Whoa!"
CRASH-CRASH-CRASH!
SMASH!
The door gave way, falling to the ground and revealing a darkened entrance with a hallway leading both left or right when entered. Bridgette swallowed and slowly stepped inside, exhaling softly as she took her first steps inside. It was cold inside but not as bad as the outside. At least she could see clearly and wasn't in danger if being buried alive in snow.
'It's definitely a military base but there's no soldiers around.' Bridgette thought to herself as she looked around.
Deciding to just go left, she started walking with Bruno right behind her. She came down a set of stairs and walked, coming down to a large room and at the bottom of the stairs were…
"Whoa!" Bridgette gasped, seeing lines of giant robots lined up. "What in the world?"
The robots were humanoid, at least six feet tall. On their left arm was some sort of cannon with a standard hand on their right arm. They had six 'eyes' 'in two sets of three per head and their heads had two antennae. On their panel was a strange eye symbol that gave Bridgette the creeps.
Bruno let out a snarl, as he came next to Bridgette.
"We got to leave, now." Bridgette said, getting a very bad feeling just standing there.
Luckily, the machines didn't seem to be active which was fine with Bridgette as she and Bruno ran back to the door they came in.
Just as they made it outside, a light shine on her, making her cover her face.
"There you are!" She lowered her hand to see it was a Total Drama Intern, lowering his light. "We've been looking all over for you."
"You have?" Bridgette asked, breathing a sigh of relief. "Sorry, I got lost on the way back and tried looking for shelter. I found this place."
"It's not any of the maps we got. Probably some military base that got abandoned." The intern said, gesturing for Bridgette to follow.
Bruno growled but Bridgette calmed him with a pat on the head. "Easy, Bruno. He's friendly."
"You actually tamed the bear?" The intern asked with an awestruck face.
"He's not so bad when he's not hungry, angry or hurt." Bridgette replied, following the intern. "But he seems to have bonded with me."
The intern simply stared but jumped when Bruno snarled at him. "Yipe!"
"I don't think I can leave him behind." Bridgette said sheepishly. "Got room for two on the plane?"
The intern just stared, shaking his head before following. Just as he stook several steps forward, he stopped and looked at the facility Bridgette and her bear had been in.
He took out his radio and switched to a special channel. "Chris, we've found Bridgette…And maybe something else."

"Yeah, I'm going to win Total Drama: Revenge of the Island." Staci said confidently, pointing, with a stick, to a board that has pictures and text about her relatives. "Cuz, I come from a long line of people who think outside the box. Like my great-grandfather Dave who invented forks, before him, people would just shove food into their mouths with strips of bark. Yeah, and my great-great aunt Lois invented plates, before her food just sat on the floor getting stepped on, so sad. And my great-great-great-great Uncle George, he invented floors, before him the only way you could have a carpet was if you let grass grow on the inside of your house."
The camera zoomed back, showing Staci. "I can't wait to tell everyone about my family. I just know they'll be impressed."

"Hi, my name is Dakota, future reality show Mega-Star fashion model and eventually movie actress." Dakota proudly declared. "Ooh and maybe pop-music star too if I have the time. You might want to preserve this recording for prosperity. People are going to look back on this audition and see where my path to stardom began. That's right, when I'm done on Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, I'm going to be the biggest thing ever!"
Audition Tape 23
B's audition begins with him riding into a room on a mechanical chair. He pressed a button and a hand appeared from the chair, brushing his teeth, cleaning his shoes, and putting on his cap for him. He then tried to speak, but his mechanical robot came in, asking him a question, which B seemed to allow it to do. He then tried to speak again, but the battery in the camera died, ending the tape before he can talk.
Audition Tape 24
"Greetings citizens of the universe. I am Dawn and I am recording this for the purpose of participating in Total Drama: Revenge of the Island." Dawn stopped as a squirrel jumped on her hand. "Oh, hello there, blessed little one. I read my tea leaves this morning and they said that the show would make me a lot of money. Well, money's not important to me, nature and my animal friends are. It's by channeling their harmony that I will win Total Drama and donate my money to help Mother Earth."
Suddenly an eagle swooped down on them, taking the squirrel, scaring her, which ends the audition.

Sam is shown playing video games next. "Yeah, I've got a pretty strict morning routine warm up with a little game blob, then hit it hard with the SED. Yes, got the Sorcerer's Medallion and punched out the Ninja Overlord! All in a gamer day's work."
The power suddenly went out.
"Oh man. Blew a fuse again?" Sam chuckled. "That's cool."
Audition Tape 26
"Private Brick MacArthur, reporting for duty." Brick saluted the camera. "Permission to explain why I would be a valuable asset to Total Drama."
As he spoke, the camera slowly angled downwards.
"As a military cadet, I have the advantage of razor-sharp senses from years of training. I can take anything you could throw at me and believe me when I say nothing gets past me, I mean nothing."
He walked over, never knowing the camera had angled down towards his feet, catching them as he walked off-screen.

Anne Maria cleared her throat. "Hi, I'm Anne Maria and I am so going to win this show. Okay, I never really watched Total Drama Rama whatever until my girlfriends made me sit through one of those singing episodes and right away, I knew the show needed me. Check it."
She then started to sing badly, and when she hit a high note, the camera lens cracked, ending the audition.
Audition Tape 28
Mike's audition took place in what appears to be his room. "Hi, Mike here, to explain why I would be great for the next Total Drama. For one, I have a lot of different talents to offer."
He took a ballerina like pose.
"I can be agile, yet graceful."
He made a few air punches.
"But also, tough and scrappy. With the keen sense of a wilderness survivor, I'm ready to win this season. I don't care what my doctor says. Um…" Mike's eyes widened. "Did I say 'doctor'? I mean psychiatrist-Ah, no I mean do over!"
He went to turn off the camera, but trips and knocks the camera over.
"No…"

"To the producers of Total Drama," Like Eva, Jo was in the middle of a room filled with workout equipment. "You WILL choose me as a contestant for the following reasons: I am the best, I am the strongest, I am the smartest and by extension the meanest. I WILL win the million dollars which you WILL give to me in small, unmarked bills…On second thought you WILL hand the money over to me right now because nobody can possibly be better than me. That is all."
Audition Tape 30
"Camera on, Pappy?"
The camera shifted up and down, 'nodding' to Scott.
"Okay, good. For my audition I'm going to demonstrate how my Pappy taught me to hunt for kitchen rats."
A rat appeared, running past Scott who got out a baseball bat to hit him.
SMASH!
The sound of the bat sitting something was heard and food scattered across the floor. A second rat appeared, and Scott chased it.
"There's another critter."
SMASH!
Scott chased a third rat but stopped to look at the camera. "How do you like my moves, Chris? Call me, your little island won't know what hit it."
SMASH!
Audition Tape 31
Zoey's audition tape began in her room. "I want to be on Total Drama because I want to meet other teens outside my small town that go to Indie theater and wear retro clothes and wear horn room glasses."
A loud cheering noise and the honking of a car is heard, and Zoey sighed. "Every Saturday night, the town jocks drive up and down Main Street, cheering for the football team. Seriously, if I get on the show, my worst nightmare would be to get voted off by a jock." Zoey chuckled. "But what are the chances of that?"

Lightning was sitting on a punching bag in a football field. "Man, Chris should have let Lightning be a team of one. Lightning's used to carrying his teams back home, but at least those guys can actually play the game." Lightning crossed his arms. "Not like this bunch of losers. But if Chris is trying to make Lightning look bad, he can't think again. Lightning never gives up and never surrenders. Sha-Lightning!"

"I'm what's known as a 'Bubble-Boy'. Growing up, my mom was REALLY overprotective, so I've never gone swimming before. Up until six hours ago, I've never done anything before except read and sigh a lot." Cameron sighed but quickly crossed his arms, trying to look confident. "But that doesn't mean I'm not a force to be reckoned with."
A monarch butterfly then flew into the room, which fascinated Cameron.
"No way, Daus Plexus. The monarch butterfly?" The butterfly landed on his head. "Gah! It's so heavy!"
He fell onto the couch and tape ended.
