Jeff was standing on a piece of old ruin in the middle of the ocean.
"Survivor loves traveling to exotic places all over Mobius. This time, we picked the Aquatic Ruins. We have 18 of them ready to play!"
2 boats, each carrying 9 people, were traveling towards their tribal camp.
"Even though they've never spoken to one another, first impressions are already forming!"
"So... we have this old fat dude on our tribe. He looks cheerful and all... but he really doesn't seem like a strong competitor in my book. He should go first if he isn't good enough." - Chris
"The Bluebell engine is on our tribe, Stepney, isn't it? Always happy go lucky. If he gets on my bad side, he's going home. No doubt." - Sweet Tooth
"I know the great Survivor strategist Ben Tan. Hell, he even gave me some tips before I went out here. In terms of first impressions... eh, I like that blond girl over there, but that's pretty much it." - Stephen
"Everyone has a past to be ashamed of. Like me. I went onto Survivor to escape my past for 39 days, and to play a good game. On the tribe, we have a long haired guy in dark clothing. Is he similar to me?" - Dexter
"It's the ultimate challenge! 18 people, forced to work together in order to create a new society. They must learn to adapt, or they'll be voted off. In the end, only one will remain to claim the million dollar prize! 39 days! 18 people! 1 Survivor!"
Savaii (Reals): Archer, Dexter, Harry, Ling Ling, Metal Mario, Soubi, Stepney, Sweet Tooth, and Twilight
Upolu (OCs): Brandon, Bruce, Chris, Erin, Frank, John, Mikayla, Paige, and Stephen

Savaii Day 1
The 9 red-buffed Survivors arrived at their nice camp site.
"Ruins are everywhere..." announced Harry for no reason whatsoever, "Perfect place for an abduction..."
"It's nice to be back in my human body for a change. For those who don't, I'm an alien. I finally get to tell people that and not be afraid of being prosecuted!" (claps) - Harry
Archer, Soubi, and Dexter dragged the tribe's crate onto shore.
"Little help would be appreciated." yelled Archer.
Metal Mario walked over to them, "Let me handle that."
Metal Mario picked up the crate with one arm, and walked away. This left Archer speechless.
"Then why didn't you do that in the first place!" freaked Archer.
"Oh man. Day 1 of Survivor. Well, from what I understand, we're going to be kicking some asses in the next 39 days. So let's go. Game on!" - Archer
Metal Mario placed the crate near the Savaii flag, and smashed it open with one hand. Stepney and Dexter started taking things out of it.
"Wow... you're so strong, Metal Mario..." smiled Twilight.
"I am in no relations to that Mario character from SEGA All Stars and Keelhaul Key. I am my own man. I'll be playing a much cleaner game then he did." - Metal Mario
"We've got flint for fire already," noted Dexter, spinning it by its string, "Amazing..."
Sweet Tooth lent his hand out, "I'll handle fire. I've got a knife in my back pocket."
"You carry a knife with you everywhere?" asked Dexter, confused.
Sweet Tooth nodded, "I'm a serial killer, mind you."
Dexter watched Sweet Tooth walk away with the flint.
"Sweet Tooth is a serial killer... much like myself. No one heard him but me. It'll be our little secret. But how long will that secret last? Will the others care?" - Dexter
Meanwhile, Twilight, Ling Ling, and Metal Mario were out searching for wood.
"There isn't much wood out here for fire," noted Twilight, "It is a ruin after all."
Metal Mario was carrying what wood they've found, which wasn't very much.
"Ling Ling no need fire! Ling Ling only need stone and fire power!" shouted Ling Ling.
Twilight sweat dropped, "Well, maybe that works for you Ling Ling. But we can easily make fire using the flint."
Ling Ling growled.
"Ling Ling want to cause big explosion! Ling Ling want fire! Ling Ling want sexy ladies after winning million dollar!" - Ling Ling
Once they returned to camp, Metal Mario threw the one log he found near Sweet Tooth and Dexter. Sweet Tooth had a raging fire on the go.
"That's all we could find." said Metal Mario.
Dexter shrugged, "No matter. The Aquatic Ruins aren't known for being a forest."
"The Savaii tribe should have a large upbringing at the first immunity challenge. I don't know if Upolu can keep up with us or not. We'll have to wait and see." - Metal Mario
– – – – –
Upolu Day 1
The 9 blue-buffed Survivors entered their new home for the next 39 days.
Brandon started to clap, "Well done, folks. We've completed Round 1 of our Survivor journey!"
All of Upolu gathered 'round, and chanted 'Upolu' over and over.
"1, 2, 3, UPOLU!" ended the chant.
"Oh man... where do I begin? This adventure is already turning out fantastic. I'm already in love with my tribe, Upolu. We can do so much together if we work hard enough." - Bruce
John spoke up, "I don't mean to be imposing or anything, but should we get started on fire and shelter?"
Frank looked up at the sky, "Yeah, man. I agree. It might start raining any minute."
"But we can't build a decent shelter!" complained Erin, "We're in the Aquatic Ruins, there isn't enough wood for a shelter."
John thought about it, "Well... then we're gonna have to find a lot of wood."
"Or maybe we could just live in the ruins not too far away from here..." muttered Stephen, pointing in the direction of said ruins.
"Shelter shouldn't be a big deal out here! We've got ruins everywhere! Just find something to pose as a tarp, and we're set!" - Stephen
John looked over at the ruins, "Good idea Stephen! Let's check it out."
"I didn't want to be the leader... but I figured... man, we have a lot of young people on this tribe, and they can't really lead." - John
Out in the ruins, Bruce, Paige, and Mikayla were searching for wood for fire.
"The shelter works well," noted Paige, "I just hope it doesn't rain at all."
Bruce nodded, "Well, get ready for some, sweetheart. Cause rain is to be expected on Survivor. I'll protect you in a thunder storm."
Mikayla sort of giggled, but Paige didn't find it very funny.
"I'm an athlete. I can hang in with most of the boys. Bruce, I can handle myself thank you! You may be a gentle giant, well, so far, but I don't trust you enough to cuddle with you!" - Paige
Sooner or later, the three came across the first tree in about 10 minutes of walking.
"Finally!" sighed Mikayla, "You think this'll be enough?"
Bruce shrugged, "Maybe, but we can always find more."
Paige rolled her eyes, "More? That might be the last tree out here!"
Bruce shrugged.
"Paige was getting... a bit on edge with me. She's not giving me a good impression of her, and it's making her a target in my eyes." - Bruce
– – – – –
Savaii Day 2
Dexter and Sweet Tooth both woke up from a short nap. They didn't sleep as much as the others do.
"You said you were a serial killer, right?" asked Dexter.
Sweet Tooth, sharpening the knife as Dexter spoke. This didn't bother Dexter very much.
"Well... I'm one too." continued Dexter. He explained his entire process.
"I wanted to tell Sweet Tooth about my killing ways, in order to gain his trust. Maybe that's why he told me, to gain my trust. I hate to admit it, but it did." - Dexter
"I had that vibe that you were a killer," explained Sweet Tooth, "Killer instincts, I guess."
Dexter nodded.
"Are you looking for an alliance, just say so." continued Sweet Tooth.
Dexter held out his hand, "Would you be interested?"
Sweet Tooth nodded, and shook it, "You have my word."
"So I'm working with another serial killer, Dexter. I'm going to work with him majority of the game, and then betray him. Let's face it boys and girls, a man has to have better options at later times." - Sweet Tooth
Meanwhile, Harry and Twilight were in a nearby river. On each side of the Savaii camp were rivers. One river was used for water, and the other was used for swimming.
"Wow, Harry!" smiled Twilight, "I didn't know you were great with hair!"
Harry was cleaning Twilight's mane, "That I am, Twilight. That I am..."
"You know ever since the Big Giant Head stole my girlfriend... I've been a little desperate. So desperate that I'm looking into..." (begins to wail) "A PONY!" - Harry
"Are you seeing anyone back at home?" asked Twilight, almost covering her mouth, blushing.
"Depends on what you mean..." wondered Harry, continuing to comb her hair, "Back at home-home?"
Harry whispered into her ear, "Or... Survivor-home?"
Twilight giggled.
Not too far away were Soubi and Metal Mario, cleaning pots.
"Is it that obvious?" asked Soubi.
Metal Mario shrugged, continuing to clean his pot.
"Relationships can hurt a Survivor's game. Both Harry and Twilight have to keep their little 'friendship' hidden or they will be split apart." - Soubi
– – – – –
Upolu Day 2
Bruce woke up from a nice nap. There was no rain, no thunder, no nothing. Bruce was very cheerful because of it.
He sat down next to Brandon and Stephen.
"That has to be the best night of my life!" cheered Bruce.
Stephen shook his head, "Not to me it wasn't. Too much moving around in the shelter."
"I don't know about you, but when you're in between two large guys, such as Bruce and Frank, you sort of get... squished. I was between them... and ugh, I hated it." - Stephen
Brandon smiled, "Everything is going fine so far. We've got a clean shelter. We've got a fire going..."
"And tomorrow," continued Bruce for Brandon, "We're gonna win immunity! Right?"
"Let's hope so." replied Stephen.
"I like Bruce, and Stephen too. They sound like really nice guys, and I see myself aligning with them, and going far." - Brandon
"I trust the two of you," explained Brandon, "the most out of everybody here. I think we can do well together."
Bruce nodded, "You, me, and Stephen? Oh hell yeah. Everything will go down fine. I'm in."
Stephen looked up from opening a coconut, "I'm in for sure."
"Sweet!" clapped Bruce, "It's gonna be awesome, the three of us. We have a good leader in you, Brandon. We have me, the strong guy. And we have the smart asian guy, Stephen!"
"Do you automatically assume I'm smart because of my race?" asked Stephen, chuckling.
Bruce shrugged, "It's not that. You look like a sharp dude, from my standpoint."
"I'm trying to hide the fact that I am friends with Ben Tan, and was tutored by him. If people find that out, they might think... 'Hey, this kid can't be trusted.'. Ben taught me a lot, and I'm ready to play." - Stephen
Meanwhile, Paige, Mikayla, and Chris were all hanging out. They were all giggling like school girls.
"Brandon and John?" asked Paige, "Like, totally! Brandon's super hot!"
"I know right?" laughed Chris.
Mikayla nodded, "And ugh, I cannot stand Frank! He's ugly! Plus, he looks like someone who can lose us a challenge!"
"Myself, Chris, and Paige were all hanging around, talking about boys and the game. Quite honestly, I'm voting for Frank if we lose. He looks way out of shape, but who knows... I could be wrong." - Mikayla
"I know right?" noted Paige.
"But what if he proves useful?" asked Chris, "Could be worth a lot to have if he's actually strong."
Paige shrugged, "He does have a point, Mikayla."
"I don't know what to think of my tribe so far. I've bonded with the ladies, but the men don't feel too fond with me, especially Bruce and maybe John. Just because I'm different doesn't mean I'm not one to talk to, honey." - Chris
– – – – –
"Come on in guys!"
Both tribes entered the challenge area.
"Guys ready for your first immunity challenge?"
Everyone nodded.
"OK, for today's challenge, 4 tribe members will begin far out into the ocean on a platform. At the edge of your platform will be a wall. Climb the wall, and dive into the water. One tribemember must then unhook the raft underwater, so that you may ride it across the ocean. Once you are back at shore, you must send 2 of the 4 tribe members to do a puzzle. First tribe to finish the puzzle wins immunity for tonight."
Jeff reveals a immunity idol, which was a golden statue of Knuckles the Echidna.
"Win immunity, and you are safe. Lose, and you go to tribal council, where one person will be voted off. Also, winning tribe gets to sent one person to Exile Island. Whoever gets sent cannot go to tribal council, and therefore cannot be voted out. Let's get started."
Savaii
Raft: Archer, Dexter, Harry, and Metal Mario
Unhooking the Raft: Metal Mario
Puzzle: Archer and Dexter
Upolu
Raft: Brandon, John, Mikayla, and Stephen
Unhooking the Raft: Mikayla
Puzzle: Brandon and Stephen
"Survivors ready? GO!"
Both tribes began to tackle the wall. Metal Mario went first, climbing up the edges of the wall, with assistance from all three tribe members. At Upolu, John got on top of the wall, and then lifted members up and over it.
Savaii took an early lead as Archer and Harry climbed the wall with ease, followed by Dexter. John was having difficulty pulling Brandon up.
After Savaii got over the wall, Metal Mario sunk to the very bottom, and unhooked the raft. During the whole raft process, he simply walked under the raft, since he was way too heavy to swim. Jeff made no calls whatsoever. Upolu got up and over the wall, and got Mikayla unhooking the raft.
Mikayla unhooked the raft quickly, but Savaii was almost to shore. Upolu needed to make up for lost time.
Once at shore, Archer and Dexter went to work on the puzzle. Upolu was trying their best to clock in on time.
But it wasn't enough.
"That's correct! SAVAII WINS THE FIRST IMMUNITY CHALLENGE!"
All of Savaii hugged and cheered.
"Congratulations Savaii! You've won immunity. Now, first order of business: Which member of Upolu will go to Exile Island for the night?"
Savaii talked about it.
"We'll send John." stated Dexter.
John nodded, and got a map from Jeff.
"John will return in the morning. Upolu, I will see you tomorrow night at tribal council, where one of you will be the first person voted off. See you then."
– – – – –
Exile Island Night 2
John arrived at Exile Island, and started working on shelter.
"I'm not surprised they sent me here. I'm betting Savaii believes that I'm the leader or something. Fine by me." - John
John built a good shelter, and found an urn somewhere near it.
"Hmmm?" he wondered. John stuck his hand in the urn, and found a piece of paper.
John smiled, "A clue to the hidden immunity idol. Awesome."
"Finding the idol would be helpful to me. It's a little something I might need later on in the game." - John
– – – – –
Upolu Day 3
The Upolu tribe was in poor spirits after the immunity challenge.
"We weren't good enough..." muttered Bruce.
Stephen shrugged, "They are actual characters in various forms of media. Why wouldn't we be good enough?"
Frank had heard enough whining.
"John wasn't here... and these kids were just... oh my God. Shut up! We will beat those guys! You just need some self-confidence!" - Frank
Frank spoke up, "Gather 'round, folks. I gotta say something!"
Every member of Upolu joined around Frank, as he began to speak.
"I don't want to hear whining from most of you," said Frank, "I know we can do better. Savaii got off to an early start, and they got away with it."
Most of the tribe members nodded.
"You have a point." noted Chris.
"We'll lose someone tonight," explained Frank, "But next challenge, we've got this!"
"I gained a little more respect for Frank after that speech. It made him seem less of a crotchety old man, and more of a motivated player. Still, that doesn't mean he's safe tonight." - Chris
Chris, Paige, Erin, and Mikayla were talking.
"Frank is the weak link," noted Paige, "It's not worth waiting to see if he performs well or not."
Mikayla nodded, "I'm down with that."
"Tonight, I'm voting for Frank. Simply because he could be weak in challenges just by looking at him. He did tell us he's 51 years old." - Mikayla
"We should talk to Stephen," said Chris, "That could give us a numbers advantage over anything Frank might have, if any."
Paige nodded, "He's a good choice. I trust Stephen with this."
"I don't think Frank should go home. We shouldn't just go ahead and vote him off just because he doesn't look fit. I don't know who should go in his place, though..." - Erin
Meanwhile, Stephen, Brandon, and Bruce were talking.
"Just hear me out for a minute," said Bruce, "How about we vote Paige off tonight. I just got a really bad vibe off her."
Brandon thought about it, "She isn't really all that strong... what's your vibe?"
Bruce cleared his throat, "Well, she acts like some beauty queen out on vacation or something. She, Mikayla, and Chris have done nothing around camp so far. They've been damn lucky no one has noticed but me."
"You think Frank would be more useful then her?" asked Stephen.
"It's worth trying, man," noted Bruce, "We need to give Frank the chance to compete, before we send him home."
"Bruce brings up a good point about Frank. I like Frank, he's a good man with a good heart. He deserves to stay in a little longer. I'm voting Paige with my alliance." - Brandon
Before tribal council, Chris, Erin, and Stephen were talking.
"It's the right move, dude," noted Chris, "He's not capable of doing those challenges with us."
Stephen sighed, "I'll think about it."
Chris nodded, shook Stephen's hand, and walked away. Erin shook her head.
"I'm not sure on what to do..." complained Erin.
Stephen smiled at her, "Vote for Paige tonight. That's the best move to make right now."
"If I vote for Paige, she more-then-likely goes home. If I vote for Frank, there could be a tie! Oh man... I wish I wasn't in this predicament..." - Erin
– – – – –
The Upolu Tribe entered tribal council.
"Behind each of you is a torch. Grab one and dip it in the fire. Fire represents your life in this game. If your torch is gone, so are you."
Everyone sat down.
"Welcome to tribal council! So, Bruce, how have the first 3 days gone by?" asked Jeff.
"It's been good. We're living in the ruins, we've got fire. Thanks by the way, for the flint." replied Bruce.
"Mikayla, tonight, someone goes home. How do you make it so that it's not you?" asked Jeff.
"For now, my strategy is to win challenges, work around camp, and just try and make myself useful for Upolu. I'm not the one to vote off tonight." replied Mikayla.
"Chris, do you consider yourself an odd man out?" asked Jeff.
Chris nodded.
"Definitely. My sexual orientation might make some people think differently of me, but I'm trying my best to fit in." replied Chris.
"Paige, how do you vote tonight?" asked Jeff.
"I'm voting for the weak. Right now, we need to win challenges, not lose them." replied Paige.
"Brandon, how about you?" asked Jeff.
"I agree with Paige, mostly. But my theory is a tad different. I think the vote tonight should not focus on weakness, but heart. If you have heart, I think Upolu will do better in challenges." replied Brandon.
Paige shrugged.
"Ok, it's time to vote, Brandon, your up."
– – –
Bruce's Vote: No offense, but you have to go tonight. (Paige)
Erin's Vote: Sorry! (?)
Paige's Vote: I think you are a sweetheart, but you are not cut out for Survivor. (Frank)
– – –
"Once the votes are read, the decision is final. Person voted out must leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes."
First vote, Paige. (She nodded.)
…
Frank. One vote Frank, one vote Paige.
…
…
Frank. Two votes Frank, one vote Paige.
…
Frank. Three votes Frank, one vote Paige. (He wasn't too happy.)
…
…
Paige. Two votes Paige, three votes Frank.
…
Paige. Tied three votes Paige, three votes Frank. (She was now confused.)
…
…
Paige. Four votes Paige, three votes Frank.
…
First person voted out of Survivor Aquatic Ruin, Paige. That's 5, it's enough, you need to hand me your torch.
Paige shook her head, "What did I do?"
"Paige, the tribe has spoken."
He snuffed out her torch.
"Time for you to go."
Paige turned around, "Hope your happy." And left.
"John will be waiting for you in the morning. Will he take Paige's elimination kindly? Or not so kindly? You'll soon find out. Grab your torches, and head on out. Good night."
– – – – –
Paige's Final Words
"Who would've thought that I would've been the first person voted off? That's just absurd! Frank was clearly 3 times weaker then I am. He should've been the one to go home. I'm rooting for the two people who likely voted with me; Chris and Mikayla. Good luck!"
VOTE
Frank – Mikayla, Paige, and Chris
Paige – Bruce, Frank, Stephen, Erin, and Brandon
