Total Drama: Ultimate World
The Prologue
SIKE, THIS AIN'T NO JOKE, THIS IS A WHOLE NEW FIC!
THE THIRD SEQUEL TO ULTIMATE ISLANDS FEATURING THAT WEIRD, WEIRD CAST AND a decent bunch of newcomers
BUT STILL, YEAH, ANOTHER ONE WHERE YOU CAN SUBMIT YOUR OWN CHARACTERS and have them accepted alongside the "acclaimed" UI veterans that span all sides of the morality spectrum!
please no big list, there's only like 16 or 18 newcomers.
5th July 2023, almost America's birthday, Chris and Chef were indeed back in the plane that fell apart and got cleaned up by Don at a currently unspecified place in Canada
"Rada rada rada rada!" A rock guy complained.
"Hey, hey, I don't mind being on television. Just wondered why you would want me back for my cooking." Soma stated.
"You three can cook, right?" Chef commanded.
Scott and Soma nodded, being two parts of the S-named cooking trio and the "rock guy" also nodded.
The rock guy was Schnitzel, a rock man with an apron and an mean mug.
"Good, because we're gonna need all hands on deck for this season, these assholes are a wild bunch."
Schnitzel, Scott Pilgrim and Soma could only salute.
"Rada rada rada!" Schnitzel could only notice in surprise.
"Those teens are a relief after dealing with all of those wackos." Chef sighed. "I'm not gonna miss that."
"Oh, you mean Co-"
"DO NOT UTTER HIS NAME IN MY PRESENCE!"
"Yeah, he was a scary-ass dude." Scott remarked.
Chef clearly had some hold over trauma from the UI Experience, as some people would call it, but there was another surprise in the wings that the cooks and Chef had to deal with.
Chris had to deal with a guy with a nicer temperament than the host with the most, a guy who knew his way around races around the world and a guy that didn't mind stealing Chris' job.
"Honestly, are these two gonna get along?" Soma asked.
"Come on, you know the answer to that. Ain't much co-operating to be done." Chef remarked.
As for the host with the most and his temporary co-worker, they were in the middle of something very important.
"For the last time, Chris, you do not look that different that it requires making this plane a trainwreck." Don explained, looking at the slightly improved plane. "You're lucky that the teens didn't sue to death."
"Don, I'm sure that you would understand how much it takes to look this good. It can't come out of my generously slim salary!" Chris whined, looking at himself in the mirror.
"Trust me, I know it's not a lot."
"What about the extra tub of hair gel?! What about that, huh?"
Don was starting to realise why nobody wanted to deal with billionaire Chris, which he wisely stayed away from for a good amount of time, but somebody had to stop the "McLean Experience" from happening.
"For the record, the plane upgrades have already been paid off, you don't even need to do anything." Don insisted. "It's fine."
"Oh yeah, I forgot. Why are you even here, Don?" Chris dismissed his fellow successful host.
"Too bad I came onto here to help give your challenges a little more authenticity, so thank the network." Don told him. "Besides I've got my own show to run."
"Cool."
"Good."
Don and Chris shared some antagonistic glances, which definitely made the three "junior" cooks a little concerned about the season's workflow.
"There is no way that this show isn't going to suck." Scott said.
"Shut up, cook of little faith. This guy hosted the damn season you were on, you best believe that he's got something great cooking in his mind!" Chef scolded Scott. "Call me sir."
"Sorry, sir, I was just thinking about stuff."
This season was going to be a little bit different from your average plane-travelling, multiverse-trawling, anime villain-killing thing.
TO BE STARTED RIGHT AFTER WINTER WARRIORS' END and way more chapters of CT and hopefully, a much better writing process compared to those two.
Like most of the major notable seasons like Infinite 2, Everything 2 and several others with a returning cast, there's only so many roster spots to make a group of 45 or 48 and like many of the World Tour-based seasons, there's going to be three teams!
Unlike those, there's no songs because I'm not exactly willing to write songs and we're not travelling into the multiverse because look at the title of the season.
A true world tour without songs, a world-ending threat or just Chris, just the UI cast and your best "epic" submissions and to those who already know, this basically replaces Hotel Rockies timeline-wise.
Here's the properly finalised timeline if you're a nerd like me.
S1: Crossed Trees, spring 2021 (Episode 3 in the works, 51 contestants)
S2: Into The Multiverse, fall/autumn 2021 (to be written eventually, 50 contestants)
S3: Ultimate Islands, summer 2022 (completed, 127 or 128 contestants)
S4: Ultimate World, summer/fall 2023 (submissions open, 48 contestants)
S5: Winter Warriors, winter 2024 (to be finished before this, 36 contestants)
S6: Hotel Rockies, summer/fall 2024 (to be redone eventually, probably 60 contestants)
