20	In this story, ever since around the 12th Century, five girls, called "Keepers" are chosen to manipulate the Five Elements: Water, Fire, Earth, Air and Energy. Since then it has been going down the lines until the responsibility falls on five of the ''Total Drama'' girls, Bridgette, Izzy, Heather, Lindsay and Gwen. Problem? There's an evil immortal wizard named Radcliffe who wants to get rid of them and thus be able to take over all of existence. Their trainers [[TheSmartGuy Marissa]], [[TheHeart Aideen]], [[TheLancer Deanna]], [[TheBigGuy Akari]] and [[TheHero Vesta]] respectively are going to have quite the handful!

27	----
28	!! This story shows examples of:
29
30	* AliensSpeakingEnglish: On all the planets except for Spectra, the inhabitants speak English as either a first or second language.
31	* AmazonBrigade: The Keepers are all female, and so it has always been.
32	* AnotherDimension: The various [[{{Planetville}} other worlds]] in the story are separated from Earth by dimensional barriers, not astronomical distance.
33	* BadPowersGoodPeople: Queen Tiana and Marcus have {{Necromancer}} abilities, but are generally nice people.
34	* ColorCodedElements: Energy Keepers wear silver, Water Keepers wear blue, Fire Keepers wear red and orange, Earth Keepers wear green, and Air Keepers wear white.
35	* CosmopolitanCouncil: The First Keepers, assembled in the 12th Century, consisted of Ichigo (Asian), Madeline (white), Amora (Latina), Marjani (black) and Anacaona (Arawak).
36	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: The normally dimwitted and inoffensive Lindsay is likely to mop the floor with anyone who hits her BerserkButton. Eva [[LampshadeHanging Lampshades]] this after Lindsay wins a fight with Courtney.
37	--> '''Eva''': Talk about a secret badass!
38	* ADayInTheLimelight: Two chapters explore the history of the Old Keepers.
39	* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:Courtney]] offers to serve Radcliffe in exchange for powers of her own so she can get revenge on [[spoiler:Gwen.]]
40	* EarthShatteringKaboom: The evil [[BigBad Radcliffe]] blows up the planet Zenith by taking out its central power core.
41	* ElementalPowers:
42	** Gwen controls the Energy Element which includes: PureEnergy, [[ShockAndAwe Electricity]], [[ThePowerOfTheSun Solar Energy]] and [[{{Lunacy}} Lunar Energy]].
43	** Bridgette controls the [[MakingASplash Water Element]], including [[AnIcePerson Ice]].
44	** Izzy controls the [[PlayingWithFire Fire Element]].
45	** Heather controls the [[DishingOutDirt Earth Element]], including [[GreenThumb Plants]] and [[ExtraOreDinary Metal]].
46	** Lindsay controls the [[BlowYouAway Air Element]], which also gives her sonic powers.
47	* ElementalPunch: Augmenting physical attacks with the power of their element is part of any Keeper's arsenal.
48	* ElementalShapeshifter: All Keepers can transform into the Element they keep.
49	* EvilTowerOfOminousness: As with any self-respecting EvilSorcerer, Radcliffe's Lair is a forbidding tower.
50	* ExtraOreDinary: An Earth Keeper's powers extend to metals, presumably because that's where metals originated.
51	* GratuitousPrincess: Marina and Magalie are princesses of the Aequori [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent mermaids]]. [[spoiler:Sierra]] is Princess of Nadir. Why must they be princesses? Because one doesn't find many constitutional republics in {{high fantasy}}.
52	* GreatBigBookOfEverything: The Elemental Books are {{downplayed\|trope}} examples. Each Book deals with only one Element, but contains everything there is to know about that Element and the spells pertaining to its manipulation.
53	* GreenThumb: Power over plants is part of an Earth Keeper's portfolio.
54	* HumanAliens: With few exceptions, residents of the magical planets Alma, Spectra, Erendor, Wispera and Nadir closely resemble humans.
55	* LivingADoubleLife: The new Keepers have to balance training their new powers and saving the world with finishing the current season of Total Drama World Tour.
56	* MagicalGirl: Bridgette, Gwen, Heather, Izzy and Lindsay become Magical Girls after being recruited to be the new Keepers. Courtney becomes a Magical Girl after making her DealWithTheDevil to obtain elemental powers in her quest for vengeance.
57	* MagicalLand: The planets Alma, Spectra, Erendor, Nadir, Wispera and Zenith are explicitly magical places.
58	* MultinationalTeam: The five Keepers in each generation traditionally come from five different countries. This is true of the Old Keepers but not the ''Total Drama'' Keepers, who are all from Canada.
59	* NeverMessWithGranny: The [[AmazonBrigade Old Keepers]] may be getting on in years and may have felt the need to [[PassingTheTorch step aside for successors]], but their ElementalPowers still make them formidable in a fight.
60	* {{Omniglot}}: Fluency in multiple languages is a secondary ability of all Keepers.
61	* OurFairiesAreDifferent: Keepers can assume fairy form, [[VoluntaryShapeshifting among others]].
62	* PassingTheTorch: When each generation of Keepers reaches a certain age, they recruit and train successors, then step aside.
63	* {{Planetville}}: Alma, Spectra, Erendor, Nadir, Wispera and Zenith could as easily be towns or nations as planets without having much impact on the story.
64	* PowerGlows: Magical beings often glow when casting spells. In the case of Keepers, these glows are typically {{colour coded\|for your convenience}} according to [[ColorCodedElements the Keeper's Element]].
65	* PsychicLink: All Keepers are psychically linked to their predecessor and to the other Keepers of their own generation.
66	* PsychoRangers: The JAAD'S, a group of four guys with powers over fire, water, earth, and wind, with [[spoiler:Anti-Keeper Courtney]] as their leader.
67	* RedRightHand: When [[spoiler:Courtney]] agrees to join Radcliffe in exchange for fairy powers of her own, she gets very faint grey markings/symbols on her skin.
68	* TheReveal: Samuel is revealed to be none other than [[spoiler:Chef Hatchet, your mean chef throughout the entire Total Drama series.]] The baldness must have been a good disguise.
69	* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Queen Tiana is the most prominent example. She has been Queen since the age of fifteen and has been balancing school and her royal duties pretty well, even going on to university to study Mechanical Engineering. She also has her own motorcycle track on the palace grounds which is where we first see her in a race with her new boyfriend, [[spoiler:Carlos]].
70	* ShoutOut
71	** Queen Tiana is named after the titular princess in ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog''.
72	** Keeper Forms come from ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub''.
73	** The talking portraits come from ''Literature/HarryPotter.''
74	* SparedByTheAdaptation: Gwen gets further in the ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama World Tour'' season than her canon counterpart did.
75	* TakeThat
76	** To ''Series/JonAndKatePlusEight''
77	---> '''Deanna''': Yep. My boys Tony, Adrian and Eric are identical triplets. After that experience, what sane person would want more?
78	---> '''Heather''': Jon and Kate?
79	---> '''Deanna''': Like I said- what ''sane'' person would.
80	* TokenMinority:
81	** Marissa is black and Akari is Asian, with the rest white, in the group immediately before the ''Total Drama'' Keepers.
82	** Among the ''Total Drama'' Keepers, Heather is Asian and the rest are white.
83	* TookALevelInBadass: All the new Keepers level up, simply because it's hard ''not'' to when one gains ElementalPowers.
84	* TookALevelInJerkass: Courtney starts off as her usual bossy, sometimes-jerkass self, but levels up when she makes a deal with Radcliffe to get powers of her own so she can get revenge on Gwen.
85	* TookALevelInKindness: In contrast, Heather starts to grow into her role as a Keeper and actually bonds with the other girls, even her former ArchNemesis Gwen.
86	* UrbanFantasy: This fantasy story is set in 2009, the year ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama World Tour'' aired.
