Author's note: So I've read most of the season 5 fanfiction on this site but never really found anything I liked. So I decided to try to write my own. A couple things I want to go over before I start. First off pairings; whenever I see a season 5 story it's always gwen/trent and duncan/courtney being brought back so I'm here to tell you before you start reading that neither of these will happen. I haven't completely decided on the pairings but they'll definitely be some fanon.

Also I think it would be best to remind everyone what is canon as of this season: Gwen/Duncan, Tyler/Lindsay, Geoff/Bridgette, Mike/Zoey, Sam/Dakota are already in a relationship when this starts. They may or may not remain. But Owen/Izzy and Harold/Leshawna are broken up, also Cody/Sierra and Alejandro/Heather are not in a relationship. Hint all you want but neither couple actually got together.

BTW season 5 has been confirmed for anyone who didn't know yet. Almost no details known but yeah...it'll happen.

Total Drama Ultimate

Four seasons…

Thirty eight contestants…

One host…

It all started on an island. Out of twenty two teenagers only one would claim victory. Then we went to the movie studio with fifteen of them. That didn't go as well as we hoped but we made up for it when we went around the world. Seventeen of the teenagers including two new ones traveled and competed to be number one. Ultimately our producers found the ending less than satisfying so we went back to the island but this time we brought new teenagers. Thirteen to be exact. And these thirteen competed against each other until only one remained to claim his prize.

So here we are.

Interest in Total Drama is wavering among the public but still high. The producers have decided to go all out with one final season of our favorite reality show. This last season will bring contestants both new and old together for one final showdown. The location: a mystery. The prize: unknown. The only thing the public knows is that it will once again be hosted by none other than Chris Mclean!

A close-up of Chris is shown. "That's me!" The narcissist host smiles. "So get ready, because it's time for the first episode of Total Drama Ultimate!"

*The opening plays*

A shot of the city of Ontario is shown. Then you see a large building with over thirty floors. It starts at the top where you can see the words Total Drama then slowly goes down to the bottom where you can see a man standing in front. The camera gets closer to reveal that man to be Chris Mclean. He smiles his ultra white teeth at the camera while his well gelled hair blows from the slight breeze.

"Welcome Total Drama fans!" He announces. "We're back for our fifth season! I'm Chris Mclean; though I'm sure you haven't forgotten." He gives a small laugh. "Like always I'll be your host for our most exciting season ever. And when we say exciting, we mean it! As this will be our contestants last shot at winning any money you can bet they'll work their butts off for it! What season is this you say? Well we like to call it Total Drama Ultimate!"

"Now let's go inside shall we?"

It cuts to the inside of the building where we see Chris standing in front of a reception desk. The room is empty besides a few chairs and a couch. "Now Total Drama just wouldn't be the same without our favorite teens and that's why this time we've brought the new in with the old."

"The difference is this time we gave them a choice! Yes, I'm serious; we upped the anty for prizes but we didn't force anyone to come. That's why our thirty contestants at least sort of want to compete. So why don't we greet them huh?"

The camera turns to the revolving doors that are the entrance. "First up welcome back Gwen!" The show's favorite Goth girl walks through the doors with a frown on her face.

"I can't believe I'm back on this crappy show again." She sighs loudly. "Am I really so predictable?"

"Yes," The host answers her smiling. "But at least you'll have company. In fact I think our next contestant is here already. So hello to Owen!"

"Oh boy!" A fat blonde boy with a leaf on his shirt just barely squeezed through the revolving doors. "I know I was supposed to wait Chris, but I couldn't help it! I just missed this show so much!"

Chris was helpless as Owen picked him up and hugged him tightly. "Alright that's enough Owen!" Chris said pushing his hand into the boy's smushed face.

"Sorry!" He laughed. "I just can't wait to see everyone!" He turned to Gwen. "Hi Gwen!"

"You don't happen to have any friends outside this show do you Owen?" Gwen asked.

"Well no," he shrugged. "Why do you ask?"

"No reason," she shrugged back.

"Alright guys let's get back to introductions." Chris said. "Because here comes Beth!"

The short, geeky girl with glasses walked in smiling. "Hi guys!" She waved. "It's so nice to be back isn't it?"

"Yes!" Owen agreed.

"No!" Gwen said at the same time. Beth looked confused by their opposite reactions.

"Next up we have Izzy!"

But no one walked through the doors. Chris looked annoyed and was going to announce her name again when the redhead suddenly leapt through the nearby glass window.

"Banzai!" She yelled as she stood up. Noticing a piece of glass stuck in her elbow she pulled it out with little concern. "That was fun!" She laughed.

"Izzy!" Chris face palmed. "Now we have to pay for that window to be fixed!"

"But it was so much fun!"

"Anyway…" Chris said annoyed. "Next up I have to introduce another redhead…Harold."

The lean geeky teen with glasses walked through the door the normal way. "Hey Chris," he said breathing loudly. "Is this an old hotel? Judging by the wood it was built back in the forties…"

"No one cares Harold," the host put his hand over the nerd's mouth. "You know who really doesn't care? Heather. Because she's up next."

The queen bee walked into the building with her arms crossed looking extremely cross herself. "This better be the last season Chris." She said poking the host in the chest with a finger. "Got it?"

"Sure Heather," He nodded. "This is the last season…probably."

"What was that?" She glared at him.

"Nothing! Nothing!"

"It better be nothing…" She muttered to herself.

"And next up…Duncan!" The punk with the Mohawk walked in looking tough.

"This better not suck Mclean," he said as he walked past the host. "Hey Gwen," he said walking over to his girlfriend.

"Took you long enough," Gwen said smiling for the first time since she got here.

"Sorry I'm late, I ran into some trouble with the paparazzi outside. You know how it is."

"That sounds like you," Gwen said giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. Meanwhile Heather was pretending to stick her finger down her throat and gag at the scene though Harold was the only one paying any attention.

"That's right, love it up boyfriend stealer." Everyone turned to the door to see Courtney standing there with her arms crossed. The former CIT was frowning but did not look seething mad. "But just remember," she said getting up in Gwen's face, "you're going down!"

"And…that was Courtney." Chris said laughing awkwardly. "Let's move on shall we? Ah I think I see Cody!"

The short brunette tech geek did indeed walk through the doors next. "Hey guys, how's it going?" he nodded at Chris. "Hey Gwen!" he waved at the Goth, but she looked away. Frowning he walked over to where Harold was standing near Heather.

"Hey Cody."

"Hey Harold." Cody said to his friend. He then turned to Heather. "Hey Heather." The queen bee nodded at him but said nothing.

"And look who finally made it to her second season: it's Eva!" Chris announced. The buff dark haired girl walked in looking even tougher than Duncan.

"That's right, I'm back." She said in a serious tone. "And this time I don't plan to lose so easily so watch your back!" She said to everyone in the room. Then she walked off to a corner by herself.

"Dramatic, and just a little frightening." Chris chuckled. "How about something more light hearted? It's Tyler time!"

The revolving doors began to spin rapidly but no one came out. Then suddenly a red blur shot out and hit the floor. Tyler's face tasted carpet as he lay on the ground. "Oww…"

"Oh my gosh, Tyler!" Suddenly the dumb (yet highly attractive) blonde Lindsay ran into the building. Rushing to her boyfriend's side she tried to offer him aid. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," he said getting to his feet. "No big deal. It happens all the time."

"Lindsay!" Chris looked annoyed. "You're supposed to wait for me to announce you!"

"Sorry Chip," she apologized. "But Tyler was hurt!"

"Oh let her be." Noah the egghead said as he walked in. "It's not like you can control someone as dumb as Lindsay."

"I'll agree with that." Heather said out loud.

"Noah you too?" Chris said outraged. "Does my line mean nothing to you people?"

"Apparently not," he shrugged. "Plus I was getting tired of standing out there."

The host took a deep breath. "Let's just move on. Next up is Trent!"

The dark haired musician walked in with a cool air about him. But if anyone had looked closely they'd have noticed rings under his eyes. "Hey Chris," he greeted the host. "Nice to see you again man."

"How you been Trent?" Chris asked smiling evilly. "I've heard you've had some problems after that last incident on stage. You know, the one where you got booed by that girl…"

"Hey she had it coming!" Trent said angrily. He then noticed everyone was looking at him strangely. "What I mean is…it was all just a misunderstanding."

"Right," Chris said sounding totally not convinced. "Well I think we better introduce Leshawna before she decides to make her own entrance."

"What's that supposed to mean?" The large black girl asked. "Wait was that a big girl joke?"

"Was it?" Chris pondered. "I wasn't trying to make one…"

"Never mind about that!" She said. "I'm here to win a million dollars and nothing's standing in my way this time!" And with that she went and stood next to Gwen and Duncan.

"Next up is our number one loser Ezekiel!"

But no one came through the door. They waited a few seconds but nothing else happened. "Hey Zeke get in here!" Chris yelled.

A few more seconds passed. "C-Can I come in now?"

"Yeah Zeke," Chris said annoyed. "Preferably sometime today."

A few seconds later Ezekiel walked through the doors, but it wasn't the Zeke they knew. He was no longer a monster; he had gotten help. But he wasn't completely back to normal either. He had lost all of the hair on his head and instead wore his hood over it. His skin was still very pale and he seemed very jumpy.

"H-Hi g-guys," He said meekly.

"Hey Zeke is back to normal!" Owen said.

"Normal-ish" Duncan murmured.

"I g-got myself s-some help." The homeschooled kid told them.

"Why is he stuttering like that?" Tyler asked Chris.

The host shrugged, "The doctors say it'll go away eventually. But that's enough about him. Now say hello to Katie!"

The thin, tan girl with pigtails also seemed nervous as she came into the building. Some of the others looked confused to see her alone. "So where's Sadie?" Leshawna asked.

"She…didn't want to come." Katie answered looking at the ground. "She said one season was all she needed but she wanted me to try again. I admit I feel rather lost without her here…"

"Like part of you is missing?" Chris asked. "An especially large part of you?" He laughed.

"Hey!" Katie glared at the host. "Don't be mean to Sadie!"

"Yeah yeah," Chris waved her off. "I still need to introduce Alejandro."

Like Ezekiel, Alejandro had gotten better. He was no longer in his robot suit. But better wasn't perfect. The Spanish teen had various scars all over his body including the top of his head. There also was not a single hair on his head. He was completely bald and had no facial hair.

He walked in trying to look dignified but was instead laughed at. Shocked he realized it was Heather who was laughing at him the hardest. "That's right!" he yelled at them. "Laugh while you can! But if you think you can reduce me to nothing more than a laughingstock then you'll be sorry!"

Everybody shut up when he said that and switched to glaring at him. Courtney rolled her eyes, "Drama queen."

"Now that's how you introduce yourself!" Chris said rubbing his hands together. "And now for the last of the old cast let's hear it for our stalker Sierra!"

The tall girl rushed inside and everyone could see her purple hair and grown back to its original length. "Oh my gosh it's my first return season! Eeek! How exciting!"

Noah rubbed his forehead. "Please tell me she's not going to be this excited the entire season…"

Just then Sierra spotted a certain short brunette. "Cody!" She ran over to the boy she was obsessed with. Picking him up off the ground she crushed him into a hug. "I've missed you so much! Did you miss me?"

Cody gasped as he forced his head out of Sierra's breasts. "…yeah I guess. I've been lonely at least." He shrugged.

This caused Sierra to squeeze him even tighter. "Oh poor Cody-kins! I'll make sure you're never lonely again!"

"Chris can we get a move on?" Leshawna asked impatiently. "Some of us would like to win a million dollars."

"Keep your pants on." The host told her. "Some of the fans like Sierra's disturbed Cody stalking so we usually give her a minute." He then glanced at the watch on his wrist. "But I guess we should introduce our returning contestants from season four. The new cast! Except they're not so new anymore. What do we call them? I have no idea. So say hi to Sam!"

A redhead wearing glasses and playing a handheld game casually walked inside. "He he hey guys!" he greeted them warmly. "What's up?"

"Are you still playing video games on my show?" Chris frowned. "Give me that!"

The host tries to rip the game out of Sam's hands but the gamer was too quick and ducked. Chris grasped only air as Sam moved out of harm's way. "Too slow Chris! I've been playing games that test my speed in order to quicken my reflexes."

Eva scoffed. "That would never work."

"It already has," Sam answered.

"Next up let's welcome the only contestant to have never spoken a single word: B!" Chris announced. The big guy himself walked inside wearing his trench coat and snapping his fingers. He waved at the other contestants but (obviously) didn't say anything. "Well he may not be interesting but at least it's one less annoying voice I have to listen to." Chris admitted unashamed.

"Anyway next up we have Zoey!"

But it wasn't just Zoey who walked inside. Mike walked in with her holding her hand as they both smiled at each other. "Hey everybody!" Mike said tearing his eyes away from Zoey to look at the others.

"It's nice to meet you all!" Zoey said doing the same.

"Hey hey! I only wanted Zoey!" Chris said angrily. "Wait your turn Mike!"

"But Mike didn't want me to have to go into a room full of strangers alone so he came with me." Zoey stated. "Isn't he sweet?"

"Yuck," Heather stuck out her tongue. "I think I just got diabetes from all that gooey lovey-dovey crap."

Cody laughed. "Jealous Heather?"

"As if!" She glared at the nerd.

Mike turned to briefly look at the host. "Oh hey Chris I think you should call Jo in next. She's looking ready to rush in anyway if you don't."

Chris sighs. "Fine, whatever! Just walk all over my schedule why don't you?" He takes a deep breath. "Next up…Jo."

The jockette wearing a grey gym suit had her arms crossed as she walked inside. "That was the worst intro I've ever heard. Do it again!"

Chris rolled his eyes. "Why?"

"Because I'm going to win this season! You think I'd get a better intro than that!" She told him.

"No," he told her plainly. "Now go stand with the others." Jo glared at him but took her place beside Eva. "Next we have the guy who almost won a million dollars…Lightning!"

A tall broad-shouldered black guy ran in before skidding to a stop right in front of Chris. "Sha-bam! Lightning is ready to regain his spot as number one!"

"Not likely muscle head!" Jo laughed cruelly.

"Hey just you wait! Lightning will show everybody!"

Chris looked bored. "And while Lightning does that I'm going to introduce Dawn. Come on in and save us from these two idiots."

The short girl with light blonde hair and an air of something otherworldly floated inside. "Greetings Chris. You know this building is giving off a very strange aura. I don't believe it wise for us to linger here."

"Well that's too bad cause we're not leaving." Chris smirked. "I'm far too busy introducing Brick."

And as he said that the cadet with a crew cut rushed inside and stood at attention in front of the host. "Brick McArthur reporting for his second season sir!"

"Yeah yeah, at ease or whatever." Chris sighed.

Brick went to stand next to Sam. "Greetings Sam."

"Hey Brick," Sam said momentarily looking up from his game. "How's it going?"

"Not so good." He admitted. "I got a lot of flak from the other cadets back in military school for not winning last season."

"Well I'm sure you'll do better this time." The gamer reassured him. "I've been training myself in survival games so I know I will."

"Sam!"

The gamer knew that voice and looked up to see his girlfriend Dakota come inside after Chris announced her. She had gotten help after season four and was now mostly normal. However she wasn't completely the same. Her body was exactly the same size now but her skin was still slightly orange and they hadn't been able to do anything about her spiky green hair so that was still there.

On the bright side this only made her more attractive to her boyfriend. "Over here Dakota!" He said waving her over. She skipped over to him and lightly kissed him on the cheek.

"Hey Sam!" She smiled brightly. "I missed you!"

Sam chuckled as he felt the spot on his cheek where she had kissed him. "I missed you too Dakota. It's great that we both made it on this season."

"Alright only two left so let's hurry this up." Chris said impatiently. "Next up is Anne Marie! Get in here!"

The girl with the fake tan and poofy hair walked in carrying her favorite hair spray. "Hey guys! Guess whose back?" At this Jo, Mike, and Zoey all groaned. "Yeah whatever. You're all just jealous."

As Anne Marie got out of the way Chris called in the last contestant. "So last and maybe least we have Scott!"

The redheaded antagonist with freckles was no longer in a robot. He had gotten out and appeared mostly normal however he did have various scars across his body. But that famous sneer still adorned his face.

"I can't believe I have to do another season with you losers!" He gritted his teeth. "This sucks. Just kick me off now Mclean and save me the torture."

"No can do," The host smirked. "You signed a contract saying you'd come back if we paid for your medical bills."

"Like I had a choice! I'm dirt poor." He admitted.

"Hey Chris I thought you said everybody got a choice to come back." Mike spoke up.

"Well mostly," he scratched the back of his head. "Some of you we did more than suggest you come and some of you we told not to come back. We didn't even send an invitation to Staci." At this the teens and host all shared a laugh.

"So why didn't the others come?" Leshawna asked. "Where's Geoff and Bridgette?"

"Geoff's got his own show now." Chris informed her. "I hear he's doing well. As for Bridgette, well she said she'd had enough drama for one lifetime. DJ said almost the same thing only it was worded about not hurting animals or something."

"What about Cameron?" Zoey asked. "Where is he?"

"Cameron won last season so we told him he didn't have to come." Chris told the redhead and her boyfriend. "He turned it down since he already won and didn't want to use his remaining money to pay medical bills."

"That's too bad…" Zoey said looking disappointed.

"What about Justin?" Beth inquired.

"Didn't want to injure his face." The host answered. "Said his modeling career just couldn't handle any more injuries. Now can I move on or is there anymore?" Everyone shook their heads. "Good, now I can explain the rules of this season."

"First off you should all be excited because the prize money has been doubled to two million dollars!" He said this very dramatically hoping to get a response but he was disappointed as no one looked terribly surprised. "What's wrong with you guys? That's a lot of money!"

"Only if we manage to keep it!" Heather said bitterly. "Oh money, I was so close!"

Chris rolled his eyes. "Then maybe you'll like part two. Second place gets a prize of one million dollars!"

"Second place?" Sierra gasped. "But Total Drama has never had a prize for second place!"

"That's not all! Third place will get half a million dollars!"

"What's the catch?" Jo asked suspiciously. "No way are you giving out all that money for no reason."

"Hey it wasn't my idea!" Chris told her. "If it was up to me I wouldn't give you any money at all but the producers thought this would be better motivation. Go figure."

Noah looked slightly interested. "So three of us will get paid at the end instead of just one? That certainly is better odds. Almost enough to make me want to try."

Chris rolls his eyes. "I'm glad it's piqued your interest Noah. But now let me explain the rest of this season's rules. Your probably all wondering what we're doing in this building."

"Yeah," Duncan said. "Shouldn't we be on your stupid island or something?"

"Not this season. This season will take place entirely inside this building."

"In here?" Lindsay said surprised. "But there's not enough room!"

"There are more than thirty floors to this building." Chris explained. "After the first three, each floor will be the arena for a single challenge. Some of the challenges however will merely take place in virtual reality on that floor. This will happen when there is not enough room. Where we are now is the bottom floor and after today you will only come here if your team is facing elimination. If you are eliminated you will walk out of the door of losers and can never come back."

"Understand? Good." Chris pulled out a bottle of water and took a drink.

"You still didn't really tell us what the challenges will be." Gwen commented.

"It's a surprise Gwen." The host answered her after he finished drinking. "Now that that's covered let's go over teams. When the producers asked me what I thought I told them I wanted two teams. I wanted it to be winners verse losers but they didn't like that idea." He frowned.

"They said they wanted three teams and that it wasn't nice to call a team 'losers'." Chris rolled his eyes. "So it was decided the three teams would be the winners, the underdogs, and the wild cards. You will be put into a team based on your personality and your history in this show."

This surprised a few people as it was far different than anything that had been done before in regards to teams. Without knowing what the teams would be like the teens could not say it sounded good yet but at least it seemed better than a random selection.

"The first person I pick for each team will be that team's captain." Chris explained. "When your name is called stand behind one of the three lines based on your team's color. Red is for the winners, blue for underdogs and green for wild cards."

"Let's start. The first person for the winners is…Heather."

The raven-haired girl smirked as she stepped forward toward her line. "Good choice," she told Chris, "After all someone like me should be the leader of the winning team."

"Moving on, the first person for the underdogs is…Cody."

"Who me?" The tech geek seemed genuinely surprised to hear this. "I'm team leader? That's great!" He said stepping forward. "I've never been leader of anything."

"Yay Cody!" Sierra could be heard cheering from the crowd.

"And the first person joining the wild cards is…Izzy!"

"Heck yeah!" Izzy back flips onto her team line. "I'm a great leader! This one time I got lost in the forest with a girl scouts troop and they made me their leader. We were lost in there for five days and when we got out it was just me and one little girl who had to go to extensive therapy." She laughed.

"About being team leaders…" Chris chuckled. "Being the leader doesn't actually give you any privileges nor can it save you from elimination. If anything it just paints a target on you." Heather glared angrily at Chris while Cody suddenly looked worried.

"The second person on the winner's team is…Alejandro."

The bald Spanish teen didn't seem surprised at all and stood very close to Heather. "Together again, Senorita?"

The queen bee made a disgusted face. "Not on your life!" She pushed him away.

"The second person to join the underdogs is…Ezekiel."

The homeschooled teen scurried forward quickly and hid behind Cody. "You know Zeke," Chris said. "We considered making you leader of the underdogs since you're the ultimate underdog but changed our mind as you have no leadership qualities."

"But whatever. The second person for the wild cards is…Harold."

The redheaded nerd walked over toward Izzy and nodded. "Wise choice; my unpredictability and quick thinking made me the valuable team player I am today."

Chris rolled his eyes. "No one cares Harold."

"Gosh!"

"Next for the winners is Gwen."

"Me?" The Goth asked giving slight surprise. "I always thought of myself more as an underdog."

This statement caused Chris to burst into laughter. "With your track record?" He laughed some more. "Dress like a loner all you want but you still have to join the winners' team."

Gwen grumbled something indistinguishable as she stood next to Alejandro and Heather. The two girls glared angrily at each other. "Again?" Heather sighed. "Can't I go one season without being on your team?"

The Goth gritted her teeth. "You took the words right out of my mouth."

Chris was announcing the next person. "So Beth, join the underdogs."

"But I got second place in TDA!" She told the host. "I almost won!"

"But you didn't, did you?" He looked down on her. "Now get over there!"

The short brunette with glasses walked over to her team. "Hi Cody, hi Zeke."

"Hey Beth," Cody said giving the girl a short wave. Ezekiel merely gave a meek nod.

"And joining the wild cards is Sierra!"

"What?" The tall girl screeched. "But I want to be on the underdogs with my Cody-kins!"

"Sorry but you're waaaaay too crazy to be on any team but the wild cards." Chris told her.

"Okay fine…" The stalker pouted as she went to stand beside her team.

"Back to the winners we've got Duncan."

"Oh yeah!" The punk high fives his girlfriend as he joins the team. "Miss me babe?"

She smiles at him. "You wish."

"And the underdogs are stuck with Zoey."

The redhead frowned. "What's that supposed to mean? I'm a good competitor…"

Mike put his hand on her shoulder. "Don't let it bother you Zoe, Chris is just being Chris." Feeling cheered up Zoey nodded and walked over to her team. "Don't worry; I'll join you in a minute!" Mike called out to her.

Chris smiled, "That reminds me Mike. It's time for you to join your team…the wild cards!"

Zoey gasped. "What?" Mike asked. "But I wanted to be on the same team as Zoey!"

The host sighed. "Mike you have multiple personalities, how did you think this would go?"

Mike frowned and walked over to his team. "It'll be okay Zoey!" He reassured his girlfriend.

"How touching," Chris rolled his eyes. "But this is taking too long. So starting now I'll announce three of you at once! Starting with team winners: Lightning, Jo and Scott!"

"Whoo!" Lightning cheered as he ran over to his team. "Lightning is a winner! Take that Dad!"

"Looks like you got something right Mclean." Jo said smirking.

"Why am I on this team?" Scott asked. "I spent all of last season trying to make my team lose."

"Yes," Chris nodded. "But just think how far you'd have gotten if you tried to win instead!"

Scott shrugged. "Whatever."

"Now for the underdogs: Tyler, Lindsay, and Sam!"

"Yay!" Tyler and Lindsay said together as they walked over to their team. The blonde seemed even more excited when she realized she was also on the team with her BFF Beth.

"Whoo!" Sam raised his arms up in the air sounding mildly excited. "Underdogs are cool. I play the underdogs in a lot of video games so I'm pretty knowledgeable."

"And for the wild cards: Noah, Dawn and Trent!"

Noah rolled his eyes. "Sure, whatever, just put me with all the weirdos."

"Yay Noah!" Izzy said suddenly jumping on his shoulders. "We're on the same team again! Aren't you excited?"

Noah could not hold his balance with the redhead on top of him and soon fell on his back. "Oww! Yeah Izzy, real excited…"

Dawn's wide eyes carefully looked over all her teammates before nodding. "This team should suit my needs just fine."

Trent on the other hand was not feeling the same way. "What? Wild cards?" He turned to the host. "Chris there must be a mistake! I should be on the winners…with Gwen!"

"Ha ha!" Chris ruffled the musician's hair. "You wish you little psycho! Now get to your team and stop holding up the episode." He waited until Trent walked over to his team before continuing. "And now the last three for the winner's team: Courtney, Leshawna and Owen!"

"Took you long enough to call my name." Courtney huffed. She had her arms crossed over her chest as she walked over impatiently to her team.

Leshawna meanwhile stood beside Gwen. "What's up girl? It's been a while."

"Nothing much," the Goth shrugged. Leshawna gave her a look but said nothing.

Owen seemed uncomfortable standing next to the winners. "Umm Chris am I on the right team? Wouldn't I be better suited to the underdogs or maybe with Izzy? Everyone on this team is so scary and serious."

"No dice Owen my man." Chris answered rather sick of this question. "You were way too successful on seasons one through three to be on any other team. So let's get to the underdogs. The last three are Brick, Katie and Anne Maria!"

Brick walked over and gave his new teammates a smile. "Nice to meet you all! I'm honored to share a platoon with you."

"Hey Brick!" Zoey waved at her former teammate. Brick waved back and stood next to her.

"Oh great, I'm on a team with Red again." Anne Maria sighed.

"Are you sure she's supposed to be here Chris?" Zoey asked.

The host shrugged. "We didn't know where else to put her."

Katie walked over to Lindsay and Beth. "Umm…Hi?"

"Hey…" Beth said awkwardly. Lindsay just stood there blinking.

"And now finally the last three," Chris sighed in relief. "I think you know where you're going. Eva, B, and Dakota join the wild cards."

B didn't say anything but walked over and stood next to Dawn. Eva clenched her fists and muttered darkly under her breath but resisted the urge to clobber Chris Mclean. "Must…resist…violent urges…"

"Hi Eva!" Izzy giggled as she jumped on the weightlifter's shoulders. "You're on our team too! Yay!"

Eva gritted her teeth. "Must…resist…resist…"

"Awww!" Dakota pouted. "But I wanted to be with Sam! This sucks…"

"Enough already," Chris sighed again. "I'm sick of all this whining. There's just one more thing about the teams." He turned around and yelled at a door on the far side. "You can come in now!"

The door opened and Chef and Blaineley walked in. "Hey everyone!" Blaineley waved. Chef just grunted. They walked over to Chris.

"What's this about?" Gwen asked.

"Nothing much," Chris had his hands behind his back. "Just a little bet."

"A bet?" Jo repeated.

"On you guys." Blaineley explained. "Each of us bet on one of your teams to win."

"I bet on the winners of course!" Chris said with a duh.

"I think it'll be the underdogs," Chef said looking at the team. "SO DON'T MESS UP YOU HEAR ME?"

"And I think I'll bet on the wild cards." The former co-host smirked.

"Yeah, I hate to tell you guys, but only one person can win." Heather rolled her eyes. "The teams will be finished long before then."

"But we're not betting on who will win the competition." Chris explained. "The bet is for which team will have the most members when we have to dissolve the teams. The winner will get a large amount of money which is none of your business and some other favors from the losers."

"Why do we care?" Duncan asked.

"No reason," Chris shrugged. "But it might come up later on. Better safe than sorry right? Now before I forget the confessionals are back for season five. Make sure to tell everyone at home what you're really thinking. Or just complain like you usually do."

*Confessional*

Sierra: Yay! First person to use this season's confessional! I'm so excited! I hope Cody and me go far again!

Lightning: This season, that two million has Lightning's name all over it! Sha-bam!

Heather: How many more times must I play this game? I want out!

Ezekiel: I'm gonna get eliminated first again this time! I just know it!

Beth: I'm so happy to be on another season with Lindsay! This'll be so much fun!

Alejandro: I will get revenge total drama losers! You hear me? Revenge!

Dakota: Sam! I miss you!

Cody: No Sierra on my team? This season is starting to look up. Maybe the Codester has a chance after all.

Owen: Hello? Is there any food in here? I'm starving.

*End Confessional*

Chris smiled at the camera. "And when we come back our three teams will compete in their first challenge of the season. On the next episode of Total Drama Ultimate!"

And that is episode 1. Some reviews would be cool. If your into that. If you have suggestions for challenges, pairings, etc tell me in a review, but don't get mad if I don't do exactly as you want.
