DISCLAIMER: I do not own Total Drama

Arc 1 Chapter 1 Part 1: Getting to Know You part 1

A/N: Well, as they say the third time's the charm, hehe, sense this is the third time I published this story, and I hope you enjoy it. In this story everyone looks the same as their original selves in their first intro (Except Beth does not have her braces still and Lightning still has white hair). This is the fifth season and everyone who got injured on Total Drama eventually sued Total Drama and back to normalcy, for the most part. This is season 5 since the finale and plot lines ruined my plan of the season.

So without further adieu...

Static played on the screen. The camera turned on soon after to reveal a man wearing cargo shorts and a blue button down shirt. He was standing on a dock in the middle of the afternoon with an almost evil smirk.

"Welcome back to another exciting season of Total Drama!" exclaimed Canada's most egotistical TV show host on the now famous Dock of Shame. In the water on his right was a huge red and white inflatable target.

"Now that I'm done spending my time in "rehab", we're back for another exciting, spine tingling, show stopping time at Camp Wawanakwa with some old, and fairly new, friends. Yep, that's right folks, you heard it correctly. Both casts from the past four seasons are coming back together for the amazing fifth season with all thirty eight competitors! It'll be the BIGGEST battle yet for the grand prize of TEN... MILLION... DOLLARS! And since this season is going to be the most amazing yet, with me, Chris McLean. It will be called... Ultimate Drama Island!"

An airplane engine was heard in the afternoon sky as the host chuckled. "You see, we wanted to pick them up via plane, but, haha, we don't have enough fuel for landing and to go back so they each have to jump from thirty thousand feet in the air and land on the inflatable target for safety!"

Several screams were heard overhead. "Looks like we got the first ones here!"

A black boy in a blue shirt with the number one inscribed on it and white hair did a perfect hand stand on the target and flipped in the air onto the dock. "Sha-first!" was his only response while Chris took the opportunity to introduce him. "From season four, It's Lightning!"

Two figures in matching striped outfits and pigtails hugging a Hawaiian model in a green shirt and jeans landed on the bullseye. "It's Katie, Sadie, and Justin!"

All three had to jump in the water to avoid the next couple that also landed in the bullseye hugging each other for dear life. The first figure, in a blue shirt with a hamburger and jeans, hugging a darker female companion in a yellow shirt with kumquats at the collar and jeans as well, yelled, "Curse you for not hiring a pilot with a sense of aerodynamics, gosh!"

Chris ignored this and just introduced them. "From season one, it's Harold and Leshawna!" He then looked up at the sky to hear a horde of screaming. Everyone still in the water swam for their lives as it rained teenagers. Several people landed on the target, two landed in the water, while one landed on the plank right next to Chris, right as the couple jumped off.

Chris looked at the white figure in a red track suit that landed next to him with a wince and a laugh. "From season one, it's Tyler!" His attention was now on the two in the water trying to swim towards the dock. The chubbier one had curly, sandy hair with a white shirt and orange stripes; his face sported glasses. The scrawny one, also wielding glasses was wearing an odd mix of a red hoodie with incredibly short shorts. Both were struggling, but managing, with swimming to the shore. "From season four, it's Sam and Cameron!" Chris finally looked at the many competitor on the target, which some were already jumping down.

On the right upper hand side of the target were two boys and four girls. The largest boy of the two had a green shirt with the letter D, blue jeans shorts, and a white beanie on his head. The male next to him wore an all black shirt with a white skull on it. His hair had a bright green mohawk with a spiked dog collar on his neck, and he also had blue jeans and black shoes. One of the four girls was dressed in almost all black and blue with blue highlights; she grew a slight grin when the green-haired boy helped her up. Another female was staring with jealousy and was wearing a brown and white outfit which matched her brown skin. A blond girl in all pink jumped off as the same time as a raven haired girl in all blue.

Next to that section was the upper left quarter holding three teenage boys. While one was wearing a red sweater vest and cargo shorts while being helped up by someone wearing layers of white shirts with the outside shirt having two stripes, one green, one red, the other was only wearing a wife beater and jeans.

Directly diagonal were two different couples from different generations. The interracial couple had a Latino male wearing a red button down shirt helping up an Asian girl in a skimpy maroon tank top a short cargo shorts. Next to them was an indigenous brown boy in a blue t-shirt and jeans holding hands with a paler girl in mostly red as they jumped into the lake.

Because there was no one who made the bull's eye, there was only four contestants left currently on the target the next corner over. One was wearing nothing but pink and purple on her outfit while the other was wearing green and blue. A petite girl had on pink and green and glasses. Only green and black was from the final one.

"From seasons one, three, and four, it's DJ, Duncan, Gwen, Courtney, Dakota, Eva, Noah, Cody, Scott, Alejandro, Heather, Mike, Zoey, Staci, Ezekiel, Beth, and Trent!"

When they saw the next figure cannonballing down everyone, even the ones on land, swam (or ran) away as the figure missed the target and hit the water, causing a massive water explosion that got everyone, even Chris, soaking wet. "From *cough cough* season one it's *cough cough* Owen!," said the host as he tried to clean himself up.

After the boy in a white shirt with a maple leaf swam to the beach, two figures slowly floated down. One was being carried by doves by her green sweater, while the other one was was wearing a propellered jet pack over his coat. He had an orange backwards baseball cap. The couple descended on the dock together. The doves flew away while the jet pack automatically detached from his back and folded up mid air only to fall in the boy's hand. "Hi Chris, I see that your aura is a black as ever [1]," said the pale girl to which Chris responded, "Thanks, from season four, its Dawn and B!" Before anyone could say anything else a yellow and purple object landed on Cody, who was now on the dock. "From Season three, it's Sierra!" was Chris' response. Sierra got off of Cody only to give him an enormous, bone crushing hug when he got up.

The next person slammed down head first on the bullseye made the target pop with their enormous, purple hair. "Anne Maria, you popped my target, thats money out of my hair gel account!" Chris whined. Everyone laughed at him as the figure emerged out, unfazed, to swim with to the rest.

Four figures splashed into the ocean. Each figure seemed to have a major color scheme as one wore blue, another pink, the next green, and the final one gray. With coughs and wheezes from the figures, Chris introduced them. "From the first and last season, it's Bridgette, Geoff, Brick, and Jo!" Chris' smile faded as he took a head count and pulled out a walkie-talkie from his back pocket. "Chef, it looks like the last one has refused to jump."

Lindsay looked confused at his statement. "Umm... Chip, I counted 37 when we left."

"There she is!" yelled Chris as he ignored the bombshell when he heard a scream from overhead.

A flash of red hit the ocean soon afterwards. The woman swam to the cast and pulled herself up. Everyone could see her blonde hair, red dress, and golden hoop earrings. "It's Mildred!" screamed Chris as she was muttering curses under her breath.

Her response was giving him a death glare followed by a cold, "It's Blaineley."

Chef's voice rang from the walkie-talkie in Chris's hand that somehow remained dry while he was in the lake. "Girl was trying to hide in the cargo. Had to drag her out of the plane myself."

The host with the most turned to the camera. "Now that everyone is here, who will lose? Who will love? Who will die!?" Some people were disturbed by this, but Chris ignored them. "Find out right after the break! On Ultimate... Drama... Island!

Opening Music

A camera pops out of the ocean, a fire pit scaring Geoff and Bridgette making out on a log, and a cabin window.

Dear mom and dad, I'm doing fine

Mike and Zoey are sitting on the dock of shame when they saw Cameron, Sam, and DJ paddling on a raft away from Fang. They are shocked to see a random intern pop up behind them and and clap a slate board over their heads.

You guys are on my mind

B and Dawn are sitting on a log with animals in the background in the forest when Izzy carrying a scared Noah in her arms riding a giant boulder makes the couple and animals run for their lives.

You asked me what I wanted to be

Lightning, Tyler, Jo, Brick, and Beth are at the starting line of a race with Chef pulling the trigger for them to start.

And now I think the answer is plain to see

Beth reaches the finish line first unfazed as the rest are out of breath. Courtney and Duncan could only stare wide eyed.

I want to be famous

Leshawna and Heather are about to fight with Alejandro and Harold trying to hold them back. Soon, Owen walks by and farts so bad he knocks everyone out.

I want to live close to the sun

Dakota is posing for pictures with cameras flashing when Blaineley knocked her out of the picture and does the same thing.

Well, pack your bags 'cause I've already won.

Staci is talking to an annoyed Scott on the Dock of Shame next to a giant yellow disk. Scott gets annoyed and pushes Staci in the water.

Everything to prove nothing's in my way

Katie and Sadie are looking at Justin with hearts for eyes as he stands shirtless in knee deep water in the ocean.

I'll get there one day

Gwen is drawing in a tree when she is splashed by water overhead. She looks up to see Chris in a jet pack and an empty bucket.

Cause I want to be famous

Anne Maria is spraying hair spray in Lindsay's and Eva's face. Eva grabs the can and throws it away. Anne Maria is mad and the two get in a slap fight.

Na na na na na na nana nana nana na nana nana na

Cody is being chased by a crazed Sierra in the forest when an unknowned figure swings on a vine and captures Sierra.

I wanna be, I wanna be; I wanna be famous

Ezekiel and Trent are running from an angry Sasquatchanakwa when Sierra fell from the sky, with her hair messed up, in the beast's arms. Everyone is looking startled and confused.

I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous

Day turns to night as Geoff and Bridgette are about to kiss when Sierra interrupts them with a flash from her phone.

[Whistle]

"Now that we're all here, if you want, you can have your say in the classic Confessionals about the new season," cried Chris.

Confessionals

Beth- This is going to be so great to be reunited with all of my friends again!

Noah- *He is talking sarcastically.* Great, another season with these maniacs, can my life get any better?

Lyndsay- Yay, I can finally hang out with Bertha again. I just wonder If Tyler is in this season.

Dawn- If I could win that much money I could save the entire Rainforest!

Lightning- Sha-bam! Lightning is going to sha-win this game to take all of the sha-money!

Gwen- I have a bad feeling about this season.

Geoff- I have a great feeling about this season! The ten mil will be all mine!

Katie and Sadie-*Katie* Like, ohmygosh we'll, like, have so much fun together this time. We might even win! *Sadie* Yeah, I know, right. *Katie* We are, like, so going to win the money this time! *together* Eeeeeeeeeeeee!

Harold- Last summer I went to Amazing Steve's Agility Camp, so now my mad skills are awesomer.

B- *He gives a thumbs up sign.*

Cody- Yeah, I feel the ladies just jumping on me now that I am more famous from season three. Maybe Gwen will be with me if I won this season. Hehe.

Staci- ...great, great, great grandfather Charlie invented Confessionals, before that people kept things bottled up inside them and it wasn't healthy for them. And my great, great, gre-

Alejandro- After being in that suit for a good part of a year I had time to reflect on my past actions and I now want to start fresh with the ones I have hurt.

Sierra- *She's looking at a phone in her hand.* From all of my blogs it appears that the viewers have made the new couples to be B and Dawn, Alejandro and Heather, duh, haha, and Courtney and... Scott?

Heather- I don't care what anyone says, I do not like that dumb Justin wannabe. Or the way his eyes sparkle when he speaks. Or when... *She thinks for a moment.* Chris you better edit that out!

Staci- ...great aunt Jackie's pet turtle invented the water slide. Before that people couldn't have as much fun in the pool. And my great great great...

Ezekiel- I'm just glad that I'm back to no'ormal, eh. This time I will not lo'ose first!

Owen- Back for season five! Yeah baby! Woohoo!

Lashawna- Y'all betta watch out 'cause you're gonna see me win, baby!

DJ- After a talk with Mamma I realized that the curse was in my head, so I know I have nothing to fear this season. *He does a fist pump in the air which smashes a fly on the bottom of the ceiling.* Oh man...

Staci- ...great great great great uncle Sam invented freedom. Before that people had to stay in cages all the time. Yeah. *She nods her head.*

Dakota- I hate Chris so much! It was because of him that the paparazzi have been trailing me and making me into a monster! *Her skin starts to turn orange and she grew a few inches. She noticed this and took a few deep breaths. She soon goes back to normal.* Phew, much better.

Justin- Nothing can stop me from winning with my good looks. All the ladies will be putty in my hand. *He chuckled slightly.*

(End of Confessionals)

"Now that we go that done," Chris exclaimed as Chief walked into view, "Chef will show you your first challenge". Chef came into view with a map of the island on a digital board. "Alright maggots, here how things will go down. There are six cabins that can hold six people." Six dots appeared on the map of the island on the board. "Y'all need to go be one of six people to enter the cabin. When all of the cabins are filled up the last two without a place to stay will get the boot off the island."

Chris continued from there, "If you would, please turn to look at the podium with the fish bowl on it by the Dock of Shame."

Sure enough, there was a fishbowl with paper standing on a podium. Next to it was a box with a pile of handcuffs. "I will randomly choose two people from the fishbowl, once you and your partner's names are called both of you will be hand cuffed by your wrists and will have to find a cabin by walking down the paths in the forest. When you enter one of the circles surrounding the cabin the handcuffs will automatically open. Once you handcuff is open you are safe for another day, but if you are the fourth pair to enter a cabin's safety zone you will have to find another one since it's only three groups per cabin. And choose wisely because those people you will be staying with will be your team. And you might want to hurry to find a cabin, because you won't be fed until you get to one. Haha.

"Now that that is out of the way, the first group is..." Chris dug his hand into the fishbowl. "Eva and...". Once again he chose another name in the bowl. "...Tyler!"

He then called the rest of the pairs. "DJ and Cameron; Dawn and Trent; Sierra and Gwen; Harold and Sadie; Mike and Dakota; Leshawna and Alejandro; Bridgette and Lightning; Zoey and Noah; B and Heather; Ezekiel and Anne Marie; Scott and Courtney; Katie and Justin; Beth and Lindsay; Cody and Duncan; Jo and Izzy; Sam and Blaineley; Brick and Owen; and Staci and Geoff!" As he called the names some interns got the pairs together to be handcuffed by the wrist.

Oh, and one more thing, if you're the unlucky pair not to find a cabin you'll have to find a way to get your handcuffs off at Playa des Loser, because as you can see, there isn't a keyhole in those cuffs. Just more inspiration to find the cabins." Everyone looked more nervous than they already were.

Confessionals

Heather- What is Chris's deal. He has to add more drama than needed just to get ratings. Uggg!

Cody-*He gulps.* Ok, I can work with this. I only punch Duncan in the face and now I'll be attached to him alone... in the woods... OK, maybe I'm dead.

Cameron- From my calculations, the way these handcuffs work is by the magnetic sensors in the handcuffs which are compatible to a magnetic field that's emitted from the circle's surrounding, therefore unlocking the handcuffs. Eureka!

Jo- Great, just great, no matter what I have little miss crazy on my hands.

Lindsay and Beth- *Lindsay* Yay! We get to be on the same team again! I hope Tyler will be with us on our team. *Beth* I know right! *Together* EEEEEEEEEE!

(End of Confessionals)

Forest (Eva and Tyler)

"I'm telling ya, I saw smoke coming from over there," yelled Tyler as he was running with his partner in the middle of the woods. It has been around forty minutes since the competition started, and the duo rushed when the host sounded the air horn.

"I hope you're right. I don't want to lose this-" Eva was cut off mid-sentence with the sound of something clicking. Looking down she realised she was inside of a circle looking at a cabin, and the cuffs were free.

"Yes I did it! I'm first! I'm safe!" yelled Tyler as he jumped up and down.

"Sorry to disappoint you but you are not the first ones here," said a high pitched voice that was not of that group. The duo looked shocked to suddenly see someone that had blended in for a while.

Forest (B and Heather)

"Ugg... why is this taking so long! I am tired and I want to find a cabin NOW!" yelled Heather for the millionth time. She was riding awkwardly on B's back as he was walking down a path she chose. B just rolled his eyes as as he trudged under the Asian's weight.

As the couple strolled down towards a river, they noticed they had to cross it to go over. B looked at his surroundings and when he saw a pile of wood near the river, he created a raft with a motor out of nothing but the surrounding the branches and water. When B stepped in and started the engine, Heather scoffed and said, "Finally, we get to take a brake."

Confessionals

Heather- What is taking him so long to find that stupid cabin!

B-*He rolls his eyes.*

(End of confessionals)

Forest (Jo and Izzy)

"...And that was the time I ate a shark with nothing but but bunny claws," concluded Izzy.

Even though she was annoyed that the crazy kept on using incomplete thoughts to break the silence, Jo had decided to stop trying to reason with the crazy long ago. The challenge has been happening for almost two hours and there was no updates on anyone whereabouts.

Soon, without any warning, they came across a duo that both of them recognised personally, Brick and Owen; to be honest, it was more of a run in into the lovable oaf.

As the girls recuperated from being ricocheted on to the rough ground their facial expression could not be any more different. Excitement and joy was plastered Izzy's face as irritation was more of Jo's forte.

"What do you think you're doing!?" shouted the jockette. "We were here first!"

"Sorry ma'am, but last time I checked this was a free road," was Brick's response; his face was blushing though it was not clear on what caused it. "But now that we're here, would you like some help."

The strong girl stood still, almost considering it before she shook her head as if getting rid of an annoying thought. "Please, I rather eat cactus thorns and walk on a bed of nails before I did anything with you!" With that Jo dragged off Izzy in a huff in the direction they were headed, leaving the boys somewhat confused. By the time they were out of earshot, Izzy decided to interrogate the girl in grey.

"I knew you liked him… but dang, I didn't know it was that bad! With the shouting and the staring and the insulting, you might as well go ahead and make out! "

A blush was starting to form on the Jo's face herself. "Wh.. wha… wha… SHUT UP!"

With that, in a huff, Jo made both the of them walked faster. After a while of walking, Izzy started to chant, "Jo and Brick sitting in a tree K-I-S-S- OW!" After that she was holding her arm in pain.

Forest (Geoff, Staci, Bridgette, Lightning)

"Lightning is so sha-mazing that Lightning could win this challenge with his eyes closed!" Lightning yelled.

"It has been almost two hours, how long until we find something, or make him sha-be quiet," whined Bridgette. The challenge had been going long enough time that almost everyone had lost count of how much time has passed, but the sun setting gave an indicator as of what time it was.

"Did you know my great great great great great uncle Bob invented the idea of closing your eyes, before that, no one could sleep. And my gr-" Staci was cut of as Geoff covered her mouth while he looked at her and shook his head, signaling her to be quiet.

"Hey sha-look over there! Lightning sees some smoke." He ran off, dragging Bridgette, while Geoff tried to follow pulling Staci babbling about her fake ancestors that invented various items.

Confessionals

Lightning- Ever since Lightning was sha-little he always had a good eye for details.

(End of Confessionals)

Unknown Camp (Eva and Tyler)

They looked at the figure who spoke. Dawn was sitting on the ground in Indian style on the grass with her eyes closed. Without opening her eyes she continued to talk. "You are the second team to get here. Trent is currently putting up his stuff in the boy's side of the cabin. Apparently our luggage came in when we entered." Both of the athletes could do nothing but stare at the statue of a girl. Shrugging, the duo sat down is silence while waiting for something to happen.

Confessionals

Eva- OK, I know she's the nature type but how did she get here so fast. I mean we were there in thirty minutes.

Dawn- In response to Eva's question I just followed the road that the monkey told me about. And to answer your's, the viewer's question, I read her aura and saw her's.

Trent- OK, Dawn maybe a little bit weird at times, but she sure is smart.

Dawn- Awwww. Thanks.

(End of Confessionals)

As soon as Trent came back, and the four talked together for about ten minutes about trivial topics that they would soon forget about in the near future. That was until they heard rustling from the bush outside the circle. Soon Lightning, dragging Bridgette was rushing in as Geoff and Staci ran a little slower towards the circle.

The foursome ran to the circle. Staci, Geoff, and Bridgette saw the number of people and tried to turn back, but Lightning didn't noticed. He dragged his partner across the line into the circle, and soon they were free from each other. `

"Lightning sha-wins again!" he yelled.

Bridgette's eyes widened when she saw what happened. "Maybe... maybe I can just switch with someone, so me and Geoff can be together." A crackling noise was heard overhead, followed by Chris' voice. "Just a reminder, if you get put on one team, you can't switch, and with that in mind it's time to show who where with who!:

Cabin 1 is full with Bridgette, Dawn, Eva, Lightning, Trent, and Tyler!

Cabin 2 is one third there with B and Heather!

Cabin 3 in one third there with Alejandro and Leshawna!

Cabin 4 has Izzy and Jo!

Cabin 5 is... empty.

And Cabin 6 is also empty.

Just more inspiration to find a cabin. McLean out!"

The first thing Bridgette did after hearing that was going to her boyfriend and squeezing him. "Don't worry dude, me and Stace [2] will find another cabin, and we'll just last to the merge and meet up there."

With a sniffle Bridgette let go, gave Geoff a semi-long kiss, and watched her boyfriend run off into the forest.

Confessionals

Bridgette- I just hope Geoff makes it safe.

Geoff- Sha bra, I have no problem that I'll find a cabin.

Leshawna- Uggg! I'm just glad I'm free from Alejandro! All he did the whole way was apologize'n and call me beautiful... I mean it was sweat and all, but brotha boy over here needs to know when to shut up!

Heather- It took him long enough to find a cabin for me.

(End of Confessionals)

Forest (Courtney and Scott)

"We've been walking for at least 3 hours and we still have not found anything! One cabin is already filled up, and if we lose I am personally sueing you, do you understand me!" screamed the C.I.T.

"Yeah, yeah, I know you've said that before about five minutes ago. Trust me, Pappy taught me how to hunt pigs when I was younger. I think the same principle applies to cabins," replied Scott.

"Well... you better be right or else you'll hear from my lawyers."

After a few minutes of looking through a bush, Scott dragged Courtney through a circle in the ground and their arms were free from each other.

"Told ya so," was Scott's only reply as he strolled towards the boy's side of the cabin with Courtney having a face plastered with shock at the farmer's ability to find a cabin. She soon rolled her eyes and muttered a, "whatever".

Forest (DJ, Cameron, Mike, Dakota, Zoey, and Noah)

The darkness was quickly approaching as the group try to decide where to go in a two-sided fork in the road. In between was a large bush. Since Mike, Zoey, and Cameron were friends they decided to go together, as the others had no complaints (Sam was dragged off before Dakota could get to him, and Noah didn't care.). As the group stood stood still deciding, DJ shook his head as if trying to shake off something. "OK, what smells like honey because the scent has been following me the past three miles."

Noah sighed before responding, "One of my older brothers made me wear his honey cologne right before I got on the plane because, and I quote, 'I am one of the few losers on this show that is still single'."

"Umm... guys," said Cameron who was leaning against DJ drowsily, "You do realise that a bear can smell two thousand one hundred times better than a human can. If he were to sent Noah than he would stalk you until it thinks it's safe and no predators are around."

Just as if the god of cleshé moments heard them, a bear popped out from a bush that was farther down but still between the two roads and slowly approached them.

Acting on reflexes Cameron jumped into DJ's arms as DJ ran to the left fork, and sensing the danger, Mike took a deep breath and Svetlana appeared and did a perfect jump past the bear with Dakota still attached, running to the right. Zoey and Noah were left with the bears focus solely on them. The couple backed up until they were against a tree. Noah closed his eyes and braced himself while all Zoey could do was stare wide eyed for the mauling they were about to receive.

Confessionals

Noah- Well, Joseph, I hope you're happy now.

A/N: Well, hopefully this will be the first time I actually publish the second chapter. Who do you want to be the first to be eliminated? Of course it would be pointless since I already wrote the next chapter, but it's still nice to know. I'm not to sure about the ending though, it's the helps with the first of many important events in the first arc, which plays a semi-important role in the next arc.

[1] In all three forms of this publishing this, this is the only line I kept through all the version.

[2] Stace (-ace is spelled like ace the card) is the nickname he gave her. I know how to spell her name!
