To get a future he desires, he must participate in various movie-themed challenges, but not everything is the same... Also, if you've seen this story before, but made by someone named "ninlympics", then don't be confused- I'm the same guy as him, I swearsies. I was locked out of that account, so... my bad. Hehe...

Pairings: Read, bucko.
And with that, let's get started!
Chapter 1-
Lights, Cameras, Action!
I woke up with a start. The smell of rubber burning against asphalt filled my nose. My legs were sore and my back was in pain.
'Must not have gotten a good night's sleep" I thought. I rubbed my eyes and sat up, looking around. Instantly, I regretted it.
I was on a bus, with several other teens. And not a school bus. A tour bus. Outside, I could see a city. The bus drove by many buildings. I had no idea where I was... until I saw the kid next to me. He was big, muscular and black. DJ? No, that couldn't be... we went our separate ways after Total Drama...
That's when I realized something. 'One final test' MATT had said.
I was on my way to compete in Total Drama Action.
NO! NOT AGAIN!
Wait. I never competed in Total Drama Action the first time around. Then what was I doing here?
I guess I was panicking a lot, because DJ was giving me a worried look.
"You okay, man?" He asked. I hadn't realized it, but I was looking around frantically.
"I'm fine. Just... a nightmare." I lied. I wasn't any calmer, but the big teen seemed to be reassured. He looked out the window, solemnly.
I did a quick head count. Fifteen others, aside from me. Wait, FIFTEEN?! Weren't there only fourteen contestants the first time around? I scanned each person, seeing who else didn't belong. In the front row sat Gwen and Trent on one side, and Duncan and Heather on the other. Behind them were LeShawna, Harold, Geoff and Bridgette. Behind them were Owen, Izzy, Lindsay and Beth, and next to me was DJ. All of them were supposed to be here, except one person was missing...
Justin! The pretty-boy wasn't here! Had I replaced him? I hoped so. But that left two odd ones out. I scanned the seat next to mine.
There, Tyler and Katie sat, behind Lindsay and Beth. Wait. Lemme back up... TYLER and KATIE?! What were THEY doing here?! They COULDN'T be here! Yet there they were, conversing with Lindsay and Beth. Astonishing. I wasn't the only non-original competitor. Which meant things were going to play out VERY differently.
I was about to stretch my legs when I realized that my feet were buried under a duffle bag. I unzipped it and looked at the contents inside- some spare clothes, my bathing suit, some toiletries and two books. Also inside was note. It read 'From your pal, MATT. Good luck, Noah!'
Great. Just great. My final test was to compete in a season I never competed in before. How joyous. So many questions scrambled in my head. Why were Katie and Tyler here? How were they here? What happened to Justin? (As if I cared) Why was Izzy sitting with Owen and not me? I knew I wouldn't get answers, so I did my best to create a logical explanation.
During Total Drama, Drama, Drama Island, I must've teamed up with Izzy and Eva again, but this time instead of Justin being dragged into the lake, I was dragged instead. And Katie and Tyler... Tyler had been on the diving board with DJ, Owen and Cody, so he must've been knocked off with DJ and Owen. And Katie... I'm pretty sure she was chased into the lake by a bear? I couldn't recall any details. Maybe MATT decided to punk me and drop me into a different universe... again.
Whatever the case, I had to compete. There was no other choice anymore.
The bus stopped and the driver told us that we arrived.
"Um, where ARE we?" Trent asked. I looked outside. We had parked at the gates of an old movie lot, complete with fake settings, trailers and sheds. The driver didn't answer, so we decided to exit the old, rickety bus. Duncan was the first one out, taking in the smell of the city, LeShawna and Harold followed him. Gwen and Heather got stuck in the doorway together and argued with each other. Heather still had her wig on, much to my amusement. They growled at each other until Heather shoved Gwen out, which caused her to fall into Harold, who fell into LeShawna, who wasn't even fazed.
The rest of us got off, and the bus drove off.
"Where IS everybody?" LeShawna asked.
Gwen was the first to respond, "Uh, maybe we got off at the wrong stop?"
"That bus only had one stop." I said. Heather scoffed.
"I'm not hanging around HERE." she said.
"YOU'RE gonna give up the chance at a million big ones?" LeShawna retorted. "That's a lot of hair weaves!" A few of us snickered, myself included. Heather decided to stay, and put on her wig. Drat. I was hoping this season would be quiet without her around.
I looked over at Izzy, who was too busy ignoring me. And not just the I'm-not-paying-attention-to-you type, the I-hate-you-so-much type. That made me nervous. What went down between seasons?
I turned my attention back to the conversation. Trent had just noticed that Beth got her braces removed. Gwen, Lindsay and LeShawna all complimented her while Katie squealed annoyingly.
"You look SOOOO cute!" Katie complimented. Jeez, I had already forgotten she was here. Lindsay claimed that she was going to move to Paris once she won.
"And I'll take the two most important people with me!" The bimbo cheerfully... cheered. "Beth and Tyler!" Tyler cheered at this.
"We're gonna rock the socks off this season, right babe?!"
"Who are you again?" Was the blonde's response, causing the sporto to frown.
"I'm Tyler!"
"No, Tyler's my boyfriend. I don't know who you are, though." Tyler just groaned in defeat. Great. I thought Tyler was dumb, but boy did Lindsay meet new levels of stupid. I glanced at Izzy, who was talking with Owen.
Seriously, why wasn't I with her on the bus? We were together, right? Isn't it a rule that couples must always sit together? Before I could ask her however, a loud horn blared and we all turned our heads to see Chris McShchmuck drive towards us in a golf cart dragging a trailer with seats on it.
"Dude, it's about time!" Duncan said.
"Hop on, everyone!" Chris shouted, with his fake smile. We grabbed our luggage and jumped on the trailer. "C'mon, people! Sheesh, we haven't got all day!" Yep. Just as whiney as ever.
As soon as everyone got on, he drove off. I sat down next to Tyler. I looked at all the competitors... wait, one of us was missing.
"Izzy, run!" Owen called. But the crazy girl just stood at the gates, whistling like she hadn't heard him.
"What's her deal?" I asked Tyler.
"She's YOUR ex, you tell me." He responded.
My WHAT?!
"I mean Kaleidoscope!" Owen called. She quickly caught up, cackling and beating her chest like Tarzan.
She's my EX?! But we were dating two days ago, weren't we?! What the hell happened between seasons? MATT, you better not have punked me!
"Welcome to the set of Total! Drama! Action!" Chris shouted. We all looked around, weirded out.
"Um, Chip, why'd you do that?" Asked Lindsay, but he was already in a rant of how the new season would work. When he announced that we would compete in an abandoned film lot, Lindsay asked if we were going to be in movies, but Chris quickly shot her question down before poking her on the nose.
"Hey, I'M the only one who can do that!" Tyler shouted at the metrosexual host.
Lindsay was dumbfounded. "Um, actually TYLER is the only one who can do that."
"I'M Tyler!"
"No, you're Cody, right?" The rest of us groaned in frustration. Great, now we had to suffer Dumb and Dumber again.
"Back to me!" Chris whined angrily. Of course he wanted all the attention. "You'll be spending the next six weeks here, competing against each other in challenges and for rewards, and a chance to win some Monster Cash!" Owen immediately started cheering until Chris shushed him again. Owen pretended to zip his lips and throw away the key. "Like last season, one team will win, and the other team will watch one of their own make their way down the dreaded walk of shame to the Lamo-sine!" He quickly rolled up some windows on his car as we passed by an old limousine. It sputtered and shot out gas worse than Owen's farts, causing us to cough wildly. I coughed into my fist, trying to get all the dust out of my lungs. Ugh, stupid Chris already up to his antics. The only ones not affected were Bridgette and Geoff, who were too busy making out.
The host continued as he rolled down his window. "Now, since we don't have the outhouse to dump your deepest, darkest secrets in, you'll dish the dirt in our new make-up confessional!" We passed by a makeup trailer. It didn't look too bad. Well, not as bad as the outhouse, anyways. "All right, peeps! Mandatory confessionals, starting with Beth! Hit 'em!" We all groaned.
"Mandatory confessionals AGAIN?" Beth asked. "We just GOT here!"
But Chris didn't seem to care. "I SAID, mandatory confessionals, starting with Beth! MOVE!" Beth groaned, but went to the trailer. After she came back it was Bridgette's turn. After Bridgette, DJ. Looks like they were using the alphabetical order again.
"Noah, you're up!" I entered the trailer and immediately gagged on the scent of perfume.
"Lindsay!" I cursed. "Not even three seconds in and you're stinking up the confessional again?!" I growled but regained my composure. "So, yeah. New season. Just my luck. But here's a fun fact- Izzy and I aren't dating anymore, which means I have no one to talk to... other than Owen, maybe. In any case, Chris is more whinier than ever, Heather is STILL a total bitch, Lindsay and Tyler are stupid as always, and Katie and Beth are even more annoying than usual." I held up two thumbs. "Perfect!" I exited the confessional, and Owen went in after me. When Tyler and Trent finished, we moved to a tent.
"To your left is the Craft and Services tent, catered by Chef!" Loud crashes were heard inside until Chef ran out the tent door, chasing a raccoon with a butcher knife. Lindsay tried to snap a picture, but Chris floored the gas, causing her to fall over. "IF you survive Chef, you'll have to make it through our dramatic award ceremony!" We rolled up next to a giant wooden stage, shaped like a stage of the Oscars. "Where all but one loser will receive a gilded Chris award!" Golden statues of HIMSELF?! Of course, why not?
"A GOLDEN Chris statue?" Gwen questioned. "How narcissistic can you get?" We all looked at her. "Don't get me wrong, I still want one."
"You done now, dude?" I was surprised to hear a complaint from GEOFF of all people. He normally was pretty chill with everything, even Chris. I guess he was just mad that he lost out on his original money, IF he decided to give it up in this universe.
What was I saying? of course he did. We wouldn't be here if he hadn't. If only I were there for the last episode of Total Drama Island. I could've warned him not to go for the million. But thanks to MATT and his time powers, I was stuck with yet another season of this crap.
I realized I wasn't paying attention to Chris. Wait, why would I be? We passed by a space themed setting, which Harold gawked at.
"Whoa..." The nerd said. He asked if it was a dream, which Chris answered by telling him that he'd wish it was.
"A few months ago, this lot belonged to a high-budget monster movie!" The host explained. "Until the star began experiencing some... ah... uh, difficulties?" This caused people to become uneasy, including myself. But I knew what he was REALLY talking about.
Lindsay gasped. "Did she have, like, a mental breakdown?"
"Actually, the star wasn't a HER... it was an animatronic monster!" Only then did we notice the clues around the set. Fake buildings with chunks missing, most likely chewed off by something big. Giant dinosaur-like footprints cracked into the asphalt. Most of us became REALLY uneasy by this point.
"What happened to it?" Gwen asked. No, Gwen! You never ask what happened to a giant, animatronic monster! You never want to know the actual answer! Suddenly, a loud roar cut through the conversation. The roar was so loud that even Izzy covered her ears.
"C'mon, dudes!" Duncan shouted over the noise. "He's yanking our chains!"
"I don't have any chains!" Tyler complained.
"Weird, neither do I!" Katie said. Okay, make that Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest.
Suddenly, loud metallic stomps could be heard. Whatever was chasing us was very close. In fact, it was right in front of us! It swished its tail and knocked down a fake tower... in our direction! Several contestants screamed before it landed inches in front of the cart. Only Chris was unfazed.
"Since we're on a film lot, this season's challenges will be based on movie genres!" Chris said. "Today's genre-" The monster roared loudly. "The monster movie! Duh!" He laughed evilly as the giant animatronic walked by us. It was ten stories high, almost as high as the buildings. It had green, scaly skin and orange fins. It was so scary, that even Duncan looked nervous. DJ was so scared that he fainted right then and there. Chris poked his chest with a stick, but he didn't move.
"Down for the count. For your first challenge, everyone must get from here to the cast trailers while our state-of-the-art monster prevents your every move!" He snickered evilly. Was it just me, or was he more evil this season? "Chef has kindly offered to control the beast." Oh, yeah. He was DEFINITELY more evil. "AAAAAAAAAAAND... ACTION!" No one moved. "Uh, that means go."
Almost immediately everyone fought each other to get out of the trailer. I was about to exit when Heather yanked me back and got out instead. Then Trent shoved her. Then Harold karate chopped Trent. Then Duncan threw Harold. I picked myself up and jumped off the side of the trailer. Chris was just smiling. The more drama we made, the more money he got. I hated how unfair he was.
But I couldn't focus on that now. I had other problems and questions at hand. Like how are Katie and Tyler here? What happened between me and Izzy? And lastly, WHO THE HELL MAKES THESE CHALLENGES?! I had no time for answers as we all ran to the beach, screaming, the monster on our tails.
Noah Carter, welcome to your new hell.
And that concludes this chapter! Sorry we're not going into the challenge, but that'll be the focus on the next episode. In the meantime, enjoy this fabulous contestant chart I made!
