Chapter One - Level Up

As the episode opens up, the camera shows Chris McLean wearing sunglasses, lying on a Adirondack chair, shirtless, and drinking what seems to be a pina colada. The camera zooms out, revealing the background - a giant arcade. Chris looks up from his sunglasses, and smiles. "Oh, we're rolling?" The camera moves up and down, most likely meaning that the cameraman is nodding.

Chris removes his sunglasses and stands up. "The thing about Total Drama is that it never ends. I'm your host, Chris McLean, and after a pretty long hiatus, we're finally back with another awesome season of Total Drama!" The camera begins showing parts of the building inside, and it is confirmed that the building is an arcade, because of all of the arcade machines. "You see, with the help of my lawyer, we were able to completely destroy this boring old arcade, and replace with a new mega arcade. Behold, the Chris M'cade! Get it? Like arcade? M'cade? Heh. Anyways, we've gathered twenty brats, I mean, teenagers, to battle it out against each other in arcade related challenges, for a quarter of a million dollars, the most money we've ever offered in a show. Every day, three teams will win immunity, and one team will be left to vote off one of their members. This keeps on going to the merge, where the teams will be dissolved, and it's every man for themselves. Only one will win the grand prize!"

Chris winks at the camera. "So, looking for something awesome to kick off your Summer? We've got it right here, right now on... Total. Drama. Arcade!"

Once the theme song finishes playing, the camera shows Chris McLean smiling with a teal bus next to him. "Our first player is right in here. Let's meet him, shall we? Now, he might be a little odd, but that's just because he's from the jung-"

Chris is interrupted with a boy busting open the bus doors and sniffing Chris loudly. The boy has long, dark brown hair, and wears large leaves instead of pants, and no shirt that reveals three scars on his chest. He also has a necklace made of two sharp jaguar teeth. The boy licks Chris's hair. "What shampoo use you?"

Chris raises an eyebrow. "Um, Brendan is it?"

The boy nods and mindlessly scratches himself. He ignores Chris and walks to the side of the arcade, licks it and smiles. "Taste good!" Chris rolls his eyes, and sighs a breath of relief as the next bus comes.

A girl walks out, with long black hair and purple lipstick. She wears a pale blue tank-top, with a striped blue sweater over it, and silver-blue shorts. She walks over to Chris, and Chris smiles at her. "Any first words?"

The girl looks around and finally back at Chris. "You're really ugly."

Chris frowns and glares at her. "Natasha, right?"

The girls rolls her eyes. "No, my name is Sarah and I'm a young Christian looking for love."

"Yeah, yeah, just stand over there," Chris says with a frown, pointing to Brandon.

Natasha walks over to Brendan and raises an eyebrow, possibly due to his eccentric wardrobe. The two stare at each other in silence, when Brendan suddenly breaks the ice by jumping forward and licking her elbow. Natasha quickly moves her arm away from Brendan and scoffs in annoyance. Chris smirks and says, "Oh, I'm sorry, did I forget to mention that Brendan has lived in the jungle all his life, and was raised by wild animals?"

"So, your mother raised him?" Natasha retorts.

"Ooo," a voice is heard behind Chris. "I think you need some ice for that burn."

Chris looks behind him, and realizes that he was too caught up talking to Natasha to realize that the next bus had arrived, and that a boy has already emerged from it. The boy has long, layered hair rounded around his face, with heavy bangs covering his forehead. "Eddie," Chris smiles. "Hope you're a little more normal than these two," Chris says as he points to Natasha and Brendan.

"Your mom is a little more normal than these two," Eddie says as his pupils dilate and he smiles mischievously. Chris rolls his eyes and points to Natasha and Brendan, signaling that Eddie must walk over to the rest of the competitors. Eddie follows Chris' hand, but says, "Your mom points," as he walks.

"How in the world do you do that with your eyes?" Natasha asks while Eddie shrugs.

Brendan walks to Eddie and smells his pants. All Brendan says is "cheese," before walking away slowly.

Eddie reaches Brendan and Natasha with a confused expression as the next bus arrives. Chris sighs and prepares for the worst. "Hi," a soft feminine voice is heard. "I'm Zoey." The girl walks out of the bus, revealing her long, flowing brown hair. The girl wears a sleeve-less top that sparkles, and pale blue jeans. "Nice to meet you."

Chris smiles. "Zoey! Welcome to the show." Zoey smiles and begins to walk out, only for her sandal to get caught in one of the steps, causing her to violently fall down and onto the pavement. Chris laughs. "Thaaaat's gonna leave a mark."

Zoey picks herself up and glares at Chris. She walks to the other contestant and smiles. "Your mom smiles," Eddie says as he runs around the arcade screaming the word 'burn.'

"Is he always like this?" Zoey asks with an eyebrow raised. Natasha nods, when suddenly Brendan runs to Zoey, and rips a chunk of her hair out. He ignores her shriek and runs away smelling it.

Zoey's shriek, however, is no match for a loud shout that comes from another bus. Everyone's eyes dart to a bus that has just arrived, when suddenly a boy with long, spiky blue hair and white armor jumps out of the bus, shouting loudly and stretching his neck out. The boy kneels and begins shouting even louder, and faces his head upwards. He begins screaming so loud, that his voice starts to strain. The boy then stops and punches the ground while gasping for air.

"Are you constipated?" Natasha says, breaking the silence.

The boy glares at Natasha. "For your information, I'm trying to turn Super Saiyan, okay? I'll turn into one someday, mark my words. And, then, I'll blast each and every one of you into oblivion!"

"Gavin, yeah, quit the role-playing, it's freaking me out," Chris says, motioning Gavin to the rest of the competitors. Gavin scoffs, but walks to everyone. His eyes somehow meet with Zoey, and he begins walking towards her with a seductive look on her face.

"Well, hello there," Gavin flirts. "How would you like to be my Bulma? I'll be your Yamcha any day, girl."

"Oh, please," Zoey says, rolling her eyes. Gavin sighs and accepts his failure. As we walks away, Zoey suddenly says, "Everyone knows Bulma should be with Vegeta." Gavin stops in his tracks quickly turns around, only to see Zoey smiling. The two run up to each other and hold hands while jumping up and down, screaming words that are too mumbled to be identified.

"Oh, look who decided to turn on the crazy switch," Natasha scoffs.

"Ohmygawsh, Rexie, where ya' going?!" A high-pitched voice says from a bus that has just arrived. Suddenly, a boy kicks open the bus doors, and runs out. Along with a spiky black mohawk that is dyed red at the tip, the boy wears a red sweater over a black shirt, and dark blue shorts.

The boy runs over to Chris and drops to his knees. "You gotta help me man, you gotta. That girl in there, she–"

Suddenly, a girl with a purple shirt and skirt, long black hair with purple highlights, and black leggings leaps from the bus and tackles the boy to the ground. She ignores his shriek and begins kissing him on the lips multiple times. He manages to push her off of him, and run away behind Chris.

"I just love a little romance," Chris smirks.

The boy glares at Chris. "You put us on the same bus on purpose, didn't you?"

"Maybe I did, maybe I didn't," Chris shrugs. "But, anyhoo, let's give a warm round of applause to Rex and Skyla." As Skyla is distracted, Rex slowly walks to the other contestants, in order to escape from Skyla's clutches. He manages to reach the other contestants, and positions himself next to Zoey.

"Oh gosh, she seems a little... off, don't you think?" Zoey whispers to Rex.

Rex sighs. "Yeah, she's my ex, but she won't go away. She's totally nuts for me, and to be perfectly honest, I wish she'd just leave."

"Why don't you just tell her to give you some space?" Zoey asks.

"I can't do that," Rex says. "She'll go totally crazy if I say something like that, just like she did when I broke up with her." Suddenly, Skyla leaps on Rex and begins licking his nose, but he manages to push her off just before the next bus arrives.

A short boy opens the door, revealing his curly, brown hair. He wears a teal shirt with the words Aero '87 written on the side in dark blue letters, dark blue jeans, and brown shoes. He speaks, revealing his deep voice. "Yo."

"Whoa," Gavin says with wide eyes.

"Why do you have the voice of a black man?" Natasha says with an eyebrow raised.

The boy shrugs. "So, where are all the hot girls at?" He looks around, until he finally sees Zoey. He smiles, and walks over to her. "Hey, girl, do you work at Subway? Because you're giving me a footlong."

The boy immediately gets slapped in the face by Zoey, causing him to fall backwards, and then onto the pavement. "What, baby, am I too much for you to handle?"

"Ah, Enrico, harassing young girls again," Chris smiles. "Just what I expected from you."

"Hey, man, what's that supposed to mean?" Enrico frowns. "You're just jelly that I get laid a lot."

"Your mom gets laid a lot," Eddie shouts. "By me, hehehe."

"Um, has anyone seen beast boy?" Zoey says with her eyebrow raised. "Brandon? Something like that." Suddenly, a loud howling is heard from above Zoey. Everyone looks up, only to see Brendan on top of the arcade. He jumps down, lands on Zoey, rips a chunk of her hair, and runs away sticking it up his nose.

As if on cue, a bus arrives, carrying the next contestant. "Finally, what's the matter with these slow bus drivers? It's not that long of a drive, only like, 10 miles or so," Chris says with a frown.

"Because that's so short," Natasha says.

"That's what she said," Eddie shouts.

A girl opens the door, revealing her long, red hair. She wears a light blue blouse, and long tight, black pants that end at her ankles along with pink ballerina slippers. She smiles, showing off her dimples. "Ahahaha, I can't believe I'm actually on Survivor," she cluelessly says.

"Uh," Chris says with an eyebrow raised. "You're not on Survivor, you're on Total Drama." The girl raises an eyebrow, causing Chris to facepalm.

"It's like a cheaper version of it," Natasha says, while Chris glares at her.

"Hey, wowza, you're really pretty girly-girl," Enrico says.

"What's that supposed to mean?!" The shouts, while sobbing loudly. Chris points to the other contestants, to which the girl stops sobbing, and walks to the others with a smile on her face. She makes it to Zoey, and they both smile, and simultaneously say, "Hey!"

The two raise an eyebrow at the same time, and simultaneously say, "Stop copying me!" They look at each other in awe, and say, once again, at the same time, "How are you... how did you... who are you...?"

"Uh, I'm Zoey," Zoey states.

"Caterina," Caterina says. "Just call me Cat, though."

Brandon appears behind the two, puts his hands on both of their heads, tightens his grip on their hair, rips it out into two large chunks, and runs away sticking it up his nose as the two of them scream in agony.

"So, is this gonna be like a running gag or something?" Natasha says. Brendan shrugs as the next bus arrives.

"Ugh, finally, someone new," Chris says. "You guys are really boring." The bus doors open, only for a slim man to walk out. His hair is finely cut, and his clothes are nothing spectacular, only a red shirt and blue pants. He wears a plastic smile on his face, and walks up to Chris.

The man maintains his smile and in a monotone, says, "Hi, how are you?"

"Oh, God," Chris says. "Jim, welcome to the show."

"Yeah, you're right, Chris," Natasha says. "We're boring. Yep."

As Jim walks to the contestants, he says 'hi, how are you?' to everyone he meets. He eventually goes behind everyone, and disappears with the crowd, which is quite possibly the shortest introduction ever.

"Well, that was odd," Rex says.

"Your mom is odd," Eddie says while jumping into a pile of mud and squirming like a fish out of water.

A new bus arrives, and a boy steps out with messy black hair. He wears a messy dark green coat and black cargo pants. However, the most obscure thing about the boy is his light green skin. The others raise an eyebrow as we walks out. "Well, hello, there."

Chris smiles. "Herbert the troll, welcome to Total Drama Arcade!"

"Troll? I prefer the term 'vandal', thank you very much," Herbert says. "Trolls are those ugly short things who live under bridges."

"If that's what a troll is, then I think the term fits perfectly," Natasha says. Herbert sticks his tongue out at her and blows a raspberry. Natasha rolls her eyes at his petty comeback.

Herbert walks to the other contestants and pushes Chris to the floor when he passes him. Chris screams as he falls, and Herbert walks away giggling.

"Well hello, there," Herbert says as he nears Zoey. "Somebody call Heaven, because you're the only ten-I-see," Herbert says with a flirtatious smile, when he realizes what he had just said. "Oh, uh, I mean, are you from Tennessee? Because I just found an angel." Zoey raises an eyebrow, and Herbert walks away while muttering something to himself.

Zoey and Caterina smile at each other, when Zoey asks, "Hey, Cat, so, when the competition starts, you wanna be in an alliance together?" Caterina looks at her with a confused expression. "That means, like, we vote together." Caterina still looks confused. "Oh dear, this'll take a while."

Another bus arrives, and Chris sighs, probably because he believes that the contestant will be boring, like Jim and some of the others. A girl slowly opens the door, and she is immidiately gulfed with sunlight. She covers her eyes and walks out of the bus. Her curly blonde hair falls to her shoulders. She wears a red shirt that has a watermelon on it, light purple pants, and colorful shoes. She clears her throat and walks down the steps, and her first words will forever haunt the contestants. "Hey."

"Mariah," Chris smiles. "Finally, someone worth watching."

Mariah rolls her eyes, when Enrico walks up to her. "Gurl, you got the smallest boobs I've ever seen."

She widens her eyes and slaps him across the face. "Excuse me," she shouts.

"What, girl, don't be hatin', I'm just telling the truth," Enrico says. "And I like feisty girls. Rawr."

"Ugh, all men are the same," Mariah says, rolling her eyes. "Except for my sweet, sweet Kyle." Mariah takes out a folded picture that was inside her pocket and unfolds it, revealing a large picture of a boy with messy, brown hair, which is most likely her boyfriend. Mariah rubs the picture on her cheek and purrs.

"Wait, wait, Kyle? Kyle Cameron?" Enrico asks.

Mariah raises an eyebrow. "Yeah... but... how do you know him?"

Enrico walks closer to Mariah and smells her hair deeply. "It seems that we are closer to each other than we think. Me gusta mucho."

Mariah flinches and quickly walks to the other contestants. She reaches Zoey and smiles at her. "Hi, there, Zoey is it? I'm Mariah." Zoey nods. "So, I was wondering, would you like to vote together? I think we'd be an awesome team, don't you think?"

"Sure, I'd like that," Zoey agrees. "But one thing: Caterina has to join us, alright?" Mariah nods as Zoey points to Cat happily spinning around chasing a loose string on her blouse.

Another bus arrives, and a boy with a bright orange and glasses arrives. He wears a lime shirt and navy blue pants, but other than that, he has nothing really spectacular about his image. Instead of talking to anyone, he walks over to Jim. "I knew you were over here."

"Hi, how are you," Jim asks.

"I'm doing good," the boy asks.

"Hi, how are you," Jim asks.

"I'm doing pretty well," the boy replies again.

"Hi, how are you," Jim asks.

"Very well, thank you for asking," the boy replies.

"Nice job, Chris, your contestants are so intense, I'm like in total awe after meeting these totally interesting characters," Natasha says as Chris glares at her.

"Reuben," Chris says, still glaring at Natasha. "Welcome to the show."

Gavin then begins screaming and shouting loudly. He punches the wall behind him and begins to grind his teeth together. When nothing happens he stops, and looks around. "Why is everyone staring at me?"

Another bus arrives, and the doors are quickly opened. A boy runs out with a microphone, jumps off the bus, and begins rapping. "Whaddup, ladies and gentlemen, the name's Epic Lloyd. And anyone who's a big jerk will have to get destroyed. My raps will have your mouth hanging open like a fish, and even though I'm a thug, I can still make a diss. Peace!" Everyone, including Natasha, look at the boy with wide eyes.

"That was... that was amazing," Rex says with awe.

"You're amazing," Skyla says with a smile as Rex rolls his eyes.

Lloyd shrugs. "No biggie."

"No biggie?" Gavin asks. "No biggie? Are you kidding? That was amazing! That was... that was spectacular! That was stunning! That was... um," Gavin then takes out a thesaurus and flips a few pages. "Oh, yeah, that was extraordinary. Nice job -"

"Lloyd," the boy says. "Call me Lloyd."

Instead of the usual bus, a limo drives up to the arcade and parks in the middle of the sidewalk. The driver door opens, and a boy with messy brown hair and glasses wearing a black arcade shirt gets out, and opens the passenger door. A girl with her straight, black hair in a ponytail gets out. She wears a purple shirt and dark purple shorts. She kisses him on the cheek. "Aw, thanks Jacob."

The boy gets back in the car and drives away. The moment he leaves, the girl shouts, "Ugh, he's such a crappy boyfriend and he never gets me anything! I just wanna lock myself in my room and cry!" The contestants look at her with an odd expression.

The girl looks around and spots Mariah. "Mariah? I went into granite to raise you, did you drink? Has God swallowed like gumdrops your oracle eyes? Did the Morpheus blind you like Oedipus? When will we say our goodbyes? I staggered there, melting the rain, did you dry? The sphinx mocked with elegance my ragged woes, do the poles sunk beside you chat very much? Why did we plant you with those? How can I dwell by your graveside? No air, Mausoleums made fossils of spirit, unbreakable teeth gag decay. Why does the stone village hold you? Why don't you chip it away? Who bore you to depths that do not rock you? I curse them, the ocean-still beckons to you. Antigone dances the salt press, caressing our bonds grey and blue, she fires your bones with water, births our defiance anew."

"What?" Mariah asks. "Alyxandra?"

"It means I've missed you, silly," Alyxandra smiles. "And, yeah, it's me."

"What in the world did just say?" Skyla asks.

"It's an original poem made by me," Alyx says. "Would you like to hear some more?"

"Not really," Chris says, pushing Alyxandra off screen.

Another bus arrives, but, unlike a regular bus, it's bright pink and has sparkly letters on it, spelling the words 'Tiffany'. The bus doors open and a girl walks out. Her long blonde hair drops down to her waist, and her pink clothes make her look extremely bright compared to the other contestants. The girl removes her sunglasses and smirks. "Hello, losers."

"Losers?" Mariah says with a snarl.

Tiffany rolls her eyes. "Yeah, you heard me. I bet you losers can't even afford a car. Shame."

"Actually, I have a car," Zoey says. "I drive it pretty well and -"

"Um," the girl says with a confused expression. "Who asked you? Does it look like I care?" Zoey glares at the girl. Tiffany smiles. "That's what I thought."

Mariah growls as the girl walks over to the rest of the contestants. "Tiffany," Chris calls out. "Thanks for being here." Tiffany rolls her eyes and scoffs, as if Chris is less important than her. Chris sighs and sarcastically says, "Thanks for being so considerate."

Natasha frowns. "Hey, dude, sarcasm is my thing."

The next bus arrives as everyone frowns at Tiffany's poor attitude. A girl walks out of the bus carrying an electric guitar. The girl has straight, blonde hair with a pink streak in her hair. Her shirt is white, and semi-ripped, and has small black circles around it. She also wears ripped jeans and blue and red sneakers. She looks at the contestants. "This is the cast, huh? Not bad, not bad."

"Ashlee, welcome to the show!" Chris greets. Ashlee nods and walks to everyone else.

"Hi," Zoey says, holding out her hand. "I'm Zoey.

Ashlee smiles. "Ashlee. Why is everyone so mad?"

Zoey frowns and points to Tiffany. "That person right there."

"Let me guess, bad attitude, and she's a spoiled daddy's girl?" Ashlee asks. Zoey nods and Ashlee raises an eyebrow. "Well, I guess we'll need to do something about that," she says with a smirk. Zoey nods and the two of them glare at Tiffany.

The next bus arrives, and a short boy walks out. His hat covers his eye, and an orange 'Q' is sewed into it. He wears a simple black shirt, and light grey pants. As he walks out, instead of saying anything, the boy just stand there. Everyone stares at the boy, when Rex finally speaks up. "Who's that?"

The boy points to the letter 'Q' on his hat, meaning that is possibly his name. "Q, glad you could make it," Chris confirms. "Thought you were gonna disappear or something."

"Q's a mystery cat: he's called the Hidden Paw," Q speaks. "For he's a master criminal who can defy the law. He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair: For when they reach the scene of crime - Q is not there." The contestants look at Q, baffled when Alyxandra yawns.

"You're nothing special, Q," Alyxandra says. "It's obvious that your 'poem' means that you're just really mysterious and all. And the only reason you act mysterious is because you want to appear as a rebel and impress us all, because you have no friends at home. Yawn."

Q lifts his hat, showing blue eyes for the first time. He frowns at Alyxandra, and then hides his eyes once again.

The next bus finally arrives, and this time, a girl with straight, blonde hair that end at her shoulders walks out. She has an orange shirt that says 'it's over 9000', similar to Gary's shirt. Her pants are light green, similar to Kavren's pants, and they are sagged to her ankles, a style that is done by Devin. She has a tattoo of three dots on her arm - a famous saying that was said, or, not said, by PJ. Her hairstyle is similar to Chrissy, and her hair color is similar to Helga. Her shoes are exactly the same as Manty, and her belt is the same as Donny's. In addition to all these similarities to past contestants on Toad-al Drama, the girl tops it all off with Octavia's wristband.

"Like, oh my god," the girl shouts. "I just love Total Drama School! It's like, totally the best show out there! Did you know that Helga's birthday is August 23rd, and that she shares it with Trick from Total Drama Revolution? Haha, but Helga is three years older. And did you know that Alex has a nipple on his back thigh? It's like, so interesting, and like, that's why he can't wear short shorts. But can you imagine a guy wearing short shorts? Haha, oh my god, that's so roll on the floor laugh out loud! Haha, laughing out loud."

The contestants stare at the girl dumbfounded as she continues. "Did you know that Devin's favorite song is Low? He got that apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur! Hahaha. Laughing out loud, like a bau5."

Chris raises an eyebrow. "Yeah, um, welcome to the show Kathie. Aren't you obsessed with that show that I used to host? The one with all the dweebs in it?"

"But those dweebs are my life! I literally have fanfictions and blogs all about the characters. I mean, no joke, like everyday my stalker cameras catch something they do, and I just need to blog and tweet all about it!" Kathie shouts, taking a phone out of her pocket, and typing something unknown.

Kathie looks up from her phone and smiles. "So, yeah, I totally can't believe I'm on Total Drama. The Total Drama!" Kathie scans the contestants and gasps once she sees Herbert.

"You."

"Me?" Herbert asks.

"Oh my God, you're that freaking noob who vandalized the Total Drama School Wiki! You're my worst enemy! I wanna kill you! All the sevens of users on the wiki wanna kill you! Oh my God, I cannot believe it is really ou! You do not know how much I wanna kill you! Get the hell out my sight! Oh my God," Kathie shouts, tackling Herbert and punching him in the face. "I hate you so much, I wanna kill you!"

"Please don't hurt me," Herbert shouts. "I only vandalized because I had nothing better to do!"

"You expect me to believe that?" Kathie shouts, her face red with rage. "You posted nine naked pictures of the beloved Sharissa from Total Drama School! You posted foul language on all of our beloved pages! You took a sweet administrator like Margaretcat07, and wrote a horrible story about her getting eaten by trolls! Then you messaged me and told me to -"

Two large bodyguards interrupt the fighting by pulling Kathie off of Herbert, lifting the two, and placing them into a small room, seemingly so they can fight without annoying any of the other contestants. "Um," Alyxandra speaks. "What just happened?"

Chris shrugs. "Don't know, don't care."

The final bus arrives, and Chris smiles. "I think you'll all like this one."

A girl walks out of the bus, revealing her straight, long, black hair. She wears a purple tank top with ruffles, tight magenta pants, and light purple shoes. Her red pupils, however, seem to stand out more than her odd wardrobe. "Yeah, ah-ah-ah, oo-ooh-ooh-hoo yeah, yeah," the girl sings. "Seven a.m, waking up in the morning, gotta be fresh, gotta go downstairs, gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal, seein' everything the time is goin', tickin' on and on, everybody's rushin', gotta get down to the bus stop, gotta catch my bus, I see my friends..."

The girl smiles and takes a microphone out of her pocket. She walks out of the bus and begins singing very off-key. "Kickin' in the front seat, sittin' in the back seat - gotta make my mind up, which seat can I taaake?"

The girl stops singing for a moment, looks at everyone, then starts singing extremely loud and off-key. "It's Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday, everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend, weekend -"

"Um," Skyla says with an eyebrow raised. "It's Saturday."

The girl glares at Skyla. "Oh my God, duh, of course I know that, like, it's a song, haven't you heard of my hit song 'Friday'? It got like, over a million views, gosh."

"Hold on a second," Zoey asks. "You're Friday Brown?"

"Your music sucks, girl," Enrico says, causing Friday to glare at him.

"Friday," Chris says. "Welcome to the show. You're our final contestant."

"Well, you know what they say," Friday says while flipping her hair. "They save the best for last."

"But you suck," Tiffany says with a scowl.

The bodyguards that were shown before come back, this time, with Herbert and Kathie. The two are thrown onto the pavement, and the bodyguards leave. Chris smiles, "Welp, that's everyone. Alright, now, some of you may be wondering what'll be happening for the next month or so. Well, it's simple. The twenty of you will be split up into four teams, and each team will have their own dorm on different floors of the arcade. Every morning, at about, 7:30 or so, you guys will have to wake up and go to the mess hall, which is on the second floor. It's the only room there, so you can't really miss it. Unless you're Brendan, that is."

The camera then switches to the third floor of the arcade, where everyone is staying. "Every three days, the teams will compete in an arcade related challenge. Three teams will win the challenge, and those three will all get immunity. Immunity allows you to be safe from elimination that night. The team in first place will win a special reward, however. Only one team will lose, and that'll kinda suck, because you're gonna have to eliminate someone. Elimination ceremonies will be on the roof of the arcade, and whover is eliminated will have to go down on this really unstable elevator, go on a bus, and leave Total Drama Arcade forever. No returning, no second chances. Now, for teams. When I call your name, stand near that blue door right there."

Chris thinks for a moment. "Q. Mariah. Eddie."

Chris thinks for a moment and then smirks. "Rex and Skyla." Skyla jumps up and down and leaps on top of Rex, kissing him on his forehead. Chris smiles. "You guys will be known as 'The Skee-Balls.' That blue door is the entrance to your dorm, don't forget it."

"Next team. When I call your name, stand next to that green door."

Chris thinks for a moment. "Brendan. Jim. Natasha. Ashlee. Tiffany."

As Tiffany walks over to the green door, Ashlee glares at her. Chris smiles and says, "You guys will be known as the Crane Machines, and that green door is the entrance to your dorm. Don't forget it."

Chris collects his thoughts. "The next team will stand next to that orange door."

"Alyxandra. Friday. Gavin. Caterina. Reuben." Chris nods. "You guys will be known as, 'The Whac-a-Moles.' That orange door will be the entrance to your dorm. Like I said before, don't forget it. And now, for the final team. You guys, stand near that purple door."

"Zoey and Enrico. Lloyd. Kathie and Herbert."

Chris begins laughing loudly at his choices, knowing the conflicts the team will have. "And you guys will be called... Team Zoey is Really, Really, Really, Really Hot." Zoey widens her eyes and Chris shrugs. "Enrico suggested it, blame him."

"Now," Chris speaks. "In every floor and dorm, there will be a black door with a TV on it. That will be the confessional. The confessional is basically a sound-proof bathroom where you guys can just speak your mind. You can say whatever you want, it doesn't matter, it will not be released to the other contestants, just the audience. Whatever is said in the confessional is completely confidental, so don't worry about anyone gaining that knowledge but me and the fans at home. Give it a try."

Alyxandra (CONF): Man, I effing love unicorns. They're so awesome. Ew, what am I saying? They're horrible. Lost. Lost my soul. Can anything save it. Does anyone know. Lost my heart. As I slowly watch my world fall apart. And lost one child's innocence. From this world its left to surrenederence. Ashlee (CONF): I guess this won't be too bad. The contestants seem pretty easy to beat. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to win. That Tiffany girl, though, she rubs me the wrong way. I'll make sure she's out first. Brendan (CONF): (looks at camera blankly, then sniffs toilet paper and eats bar of soap) Yum, yum, yum in my tum, tum, tum. Caterina (CONF): Ahaha, this is such an awesome experience, ahaha, I can't believe I'm actually on here, and ahaha I really... is that a spider? Ahaha, I love spiders. Eddie (CONF): Your mom speaks in the confessional. Enrico (CONF): Ey, this place has a lot of hot girls, and I know they can't resist me, I'm just too sexy. That Friday girl hurts my ears, though. Friday (CONF): Everybody's looking forward to the weekend, Friday, Friday, gettin' down on Friday - Gavin (CONF): I guarantee that by the end of this competition, I'll be a Super Saiyan. I like most of the contestants here, especially Zoey... oh, man, Zoey... she's really pretty. Herbert (CONF): (has scars and cuts everywhere on his face) That Kathie girl needs to girl, she's hurting me too much. I'll just keep trolling her until she's gone. Jim (CONF): I like puppies. Kathie (CONF): Oh my god, I cannot believe Herbert is here, I'm gonna kill him if he doesn't go home first, he has to be gone, like oh my god, I hate him so much. Lloyd (CONF): Bein' a good amount of years older than everyone else, I do believe I can win this. I just gotta be cool. Mariah (CONF): Zoey and Caterina actually think I'm gonna take them with me to the finals. Ha. As if. I'm just using them for votes. I'm going to rule this game, and if anyone gets in my way, I'll make sure they're gone. These losers will never know what hit them. Natasha (CONF): Well, my team sucks, so I guess it's up to me to win challenges. I guess winning the money would be nice, and I'm positive I'm gonna win, but there are some people who I have to keep an eye on. Tiffany and Mariah mainly. Q (CONF): There once was a man in Peru, whose name was most definitely Q. He went to a show, and said that he'd know, that everyone else would just looo...se. Reuben (CONF): I know everything, and I know I'm going to win. Rex (CONF): Oh my gosh, I cannot believe Skyla is here. Ugh. I'm pretty sure she still loves me, and by the end of the competition, she better hate my guts and leave me alone. Skyla (CONF): Oh my gosh, I cannot believe Rexie is here! Eee! I'm pretty sure he still loves me, and by the end of the competition, he will be mine! Tiffany (CONF): Ugh, these people seem so stupid. I'm totally gonna win, they should just give me the money now, it's not like any of these losers stand a chance, anyways. Zoey (CONF): Wow, I can't believe I'm actually here. I think I'll do pretty good, thanks to Mariah. She seems really trustworthy, and I really think Cat and I are gonna be good friends! So far, so good.

Chris smiles. "It's time for the first challenge. Everyone, follow me." The contestants follow Chris to a large navy blue room. The walls have many twists and turns, and there are four large bodyguards in different colors, light blue, pink, yellow and red. On the floor, there are small yellow pills. The camera zooms out, showing how large the room, is, and in birds-eye view, it is revealed that the room is a large maze, and that it is a parody of the popular game Pac-Man.

Chris laughs as the contestants realize that Chris will show no mercy just because this is their first challenge. "Who will prevail? Who will fail? Find out next time on Total. Drama. Arcade!"
