There was a train chuffing down the track. Jeff Probst hung his head out the window of one of the coaches.
"Welcome to the Ruins of the Marble Zone! I've been on this train for nearly 5 hours. Why is this such the occasion? Because we're coming here to play the ultimate game of Survivor."
"People have told me, 'Enoch, this is so you. You gotta do this!'. So, yeah, I'm here to try my best, and win a million dollars." - Enoch
"I may be old, but I can be a mother if I have to. Maybe even step into a grandmother role. (chuckles)" - Diane
"I'm not really a fan of Survivor, I'm just here to make friends, and just earn the cash prize. With it, I can buy new DLC on Halo Reach!" - Kyle
"Why is a city girl model like myself out here? Not only to find a guy to treat me well, but to get far and prove myself." - Angela
"But we're about to stop at a local station, to start our first twist! It'll be a battle! 39 days, 16 players, 1 Survivor!"
– – – – –
All 16 survivors entered the station.
"Welcome, to Survivor Marble Zone."
Everyone cheered.
"Ryne, how do you feel about everyone?" asked Jeff.
Ryne chuckled.
"Their all taller then me, that's for sure!" replied Ryne.
"Since I was born, I was diagnosed with dwarfism. That means I'm short, like this. But they better not underestimate me." - Ryne
"Robert, how do you think about everyone?" asked Jeff.
"We seem to have a lot of people who look like they might be tough competitors." replied Robert.
"Blanca, do you feel like you need a leader for your tribe?" asked Jeff.
"Well, when we get one, sure." replied Blanca.
"With that said; there are 2 leadership necklaces hidden in the train station. One green, one black. If you find one, and you take it with you back to me, you'll be a leader."
Everyone got hyped.
"You can go whenever you like."
All 16 ran off in different directions.
Angela, Ashton, and Erik searched the drawers.
"It's gotta be somewhere!" complained Erik.
"I want this necklace SO BAD! No one is a qualified leader like myself. That's for sure." - Erik
"Yo, dude," asked Ashton to Erik, "Wanna work together to find these stupid necklaces?"
Erik nodded quickly, "Yeah! Let's go!"
Both men split off, leaving Angela behind.
"Yo! Wait for me!" called Angela.
"I don't even know this guy, Erik, but I need someone to accompany me to my necklace." - Ashton
Diane and Kyle were searching under and above each side table.
"Man, this is tough!" complained Kyle.
Diane nodded, "Well, it's not here."
"Keep searching!" encouraged Kyle.
Just then, Karrington came careening towards them, shoving Kyle to the ground.
"Ouch!" yelled Kyle.
"Hey! Be careful!" yelled Jeff.
"Sorry!" said Karrington uncaringly.
"I want that necklace dammit! Where is it!" - Karrington
"Karrington did not have to shove me to the ground like a ragdoll. He'll pay for that..." - Kyle
Somewhere else, Jett and Jacob were searching in a closet.
"This is the only spot I haven't checked yet." noted Jett to no one in particular.
"I haven't either." noted Jacob.
Jett turned around, and looked at Jacob weirdly, "How old are you?"
"Sixteen." smiled Jacob.
Jett was amazed.
Whilst their talking, Blanca was searching in the closet.
"I saw those two guys not searching in the closet, when I saw the green necklace! They weren't thinking!" - Blanca
Blanca snatched the necklace and ran off back to Jeff.
Meanwhile, Shohn was walking behind the station, and he saw a large boulder.
"Hmm..." thought Shohn. He pressed his back against the boulder, and attempted to push it.
"Damn. That there boulder was large, maybe too large for me. Luckily, though, two more people came by to help." - Shohn
Robert and Rebecca were helping Shohn push the boulder to reveal a secret passage.
"Wow! Shohn, you found something!" admired Rebecca.
"Yes, well, it was all thanks to you too." smiled Shohn.
Both Robert and Rebecca thanked Shohn for the compliment.
Shohn left to his own devices, considering the passage was just for show.
Rebecca found something sparkling.
"Ooh!" she said.
She grabbed it, and it was the black necklace.
"Omigod. I found a leadership necklace!" - Rebecca
Rebecca ran back to Jeff, and with that,
"THE SEARCH IS OVER! BLANCA AND REBECCA FOUND THE NECKLACES!"
Everyone soon arrived back at the front of the station.
"Alright, Blanca, Rebecca, you both now have the leadership necklaces. You must now pick your tribes. Blanca will choose first, and then Rebecca, and so forth."
After picking, Blanca picked: Ashton, Robert, Erik, Ryne, Mime, Enoch, and Kyle.
Rebecca picked: Jett, Diane, Shohn, Karrington, Jacob, Patrick, and Angela.
Jeff tossed green buffs to Blanca's tribe.
"Your tribe is Corr, and you'll wear green."
Jeff tossed black buffs to Rebecca's tribe.
"Your tribe is Tomqi, you'll wear black."
Everyone placed their buffs on.
"Now, before you leave, Blanca, Rebecca. You have a choice. If you want to keep the necklace, you may. Or, you can hand it off to another player of your tribe. Would you like to?"
Both girls nodded quickly.
"Alright then, without telling me, hand it off to someone."
Blanca handed it off to Enoch, and Rebecca handed it off to Shohn.
"Alright Enoch, Shohn, come on up."
Both guys went up in front.
"Here's what the necklace does for you; it gives you control over who does what in challenges, and with these necklaces, you are safe until the merge."
Everyone was surprised.
"Oh my god, I knew right then I screwed up. But I didn't want to lead either..." - Blanca
"That's a bunch of horse#$%#, their safe, and I'm not! Man, I'm gonna have to work hard in order to stick it out!" - Ashton
"Doesn't matter if their safe or not, they won't win. Leaders generally do not last long in this game. If they do, it's because their a part of a strong alliance." - Jacob
Jeff handed off maps to both Enoch and Shohn.
"Here are your maps, lead your tribe, and have a fun 39 days."
Corr: Ashton, Blanca, Enoch, Erik, Kyle, Mime, Robert, and Ryne
Tomqi: Angela, Diane, Jacob, Jett, Karrington, Patrick, Rebecca, and Shohn
– – – – –
Corr Day 1
All 8 members of Corr entered camp.
"Well," started Enoch, "I'm happy to be your leader, and I hope I come of great value!"
"I'm sure you will!" smiled Blanca.
"I gave the necklace to Enoch for a reason. Not only is he a lot stronger then me, but I want to gain part of his trust." - Blanca
Ashton, Erik, and Enoch set out into the woods, trying to find wood.
"Man, sucks we're not on a beach." chuckled Erik.
Ashton nodded, "But hey, at least we're living within the ruins of the Marble Zone."
"Who cares about the beach? We're living in the ruins of old society. Isn't that much more exotic?" - Ashton
Enoch saw a bunch of wood stacked off in the corner.
"There! I see wood!" called Enoch.
Erik and Ashton ran over to where he was, and helped him carry it.
"Thanks home boys." thanked Enoch.
"I wish I was leader, I wouldn't do anything at all, and just tell people what to do. I mean, what are they gonna do about it?" - Erik
Meanwhile, Kyle and Blanca were taking a walk.
"Nice scenery." noted Kyle.
Blanca nodded, "Indeed so."
Up ahead, they saw Mime struggling with a log.
Mime saw them, and waved his arms in distress.
Kyle and Blanca ran over.
"What is it?" asked Blanca, worriedly.
Mime gestured at the log, and motioned a carrying motion with his hands.
"You need help?" asked Kyle.
Mime nodded.
Kyle smiled and helped him with the wood.
"I'll handle it for you." noted Kyle, as he picked up the log, and dragged it to camp.
"Mime is so cute, but I just wish that he would speak more often, and stop acting like a mime 24/7." - Blanca
– – – – –
Tomqi Day 1
All 8 members of Tomqi gathered around, as Karrington led his tribe in a chant.
"No matter what, we're gonna kick some Corr ASS!" yelled Karrington.
"1, 2, 3, TOMQI!" they all chanted.
"Karrington led us in some sort of chant, which was nice, considering that we're gonna be stuck together for the next many days." - Shohn
Patrick, Rebecca, and Angela were walking behind the ruins.
"I trust you two girls," noted Patrick, "And my first targets will be the strong guys."
Angela was worried, "But dude, you gotta realize we can't vote Shohn out."
"Yeah," smirked Patrick, "But not Karrington."
"My strategy is to eliminate the strong guys from the game, and then with that done, I'll be the strongest left in the game. Karrington is my only threat on this tribe, so he's gonna be the first from this tribe to go." - Patrick
Rebecca sighed, "But I don't want him to go! We're just gonna suck, and besides, after he's gone who's next?"
Patrick shrugged, "Pretty much anyone who questions me."
"Patrick is not thinking straight. He wants to eliminate the strong guys, and make us weaker. That's not playing smart." - Rebecca
Meanwhile, Jacob and Jett were talking.
"I still can't believe your sixteen years old." said an amazed Jett.
Jacob nodded.
"I may lie a lot, but my age is the truth. I am honestly the youngest person to ever play Survivor. I just hope they don't underestimate me." - Jacob
"Say," noted Jacob, "Did you know I lived in North Carolina?"
Jett shook his head.
"Well, it snowed really bad one night, and I was snowed in for 2 weeks!" said Jacob.
Jett was amazed, "Are you $#%%ing me?"
"Jacob is quite the character, man. But he's got a lot of balls too. He may only be sixteen years old, but that makes him a huge target." - Jett
– – – – –
Corr Day 2
Ryne was trying to start fire with 2 sticks, and failing.
"Agh! Man, this is so difficult." complained Ryne.
Kyle, nearby, was watching.
"Ryne is a midget. I'm sorry, he's a midget. Nothing personal, but he's a midget. I hope he isn't a liability." - Kyle
"Need help there?" asked Kyle.
Ryne pushed back away from the fire, "Go crazy."
Kyle took the sticks, and collected one extra stick from the ground.
"Watch." instructed Kyle.
Kyle stabbed the one stick into the pit, and rub the two other sticks against it as fast as possible.
Soon, a fire ignited from the pit.
"Holy %#%#!" said Ryne.
Kyle nodded, and walked off.
"That's what it was made for." chuckled Kyle.
"Kyle tinked with the fire, and actually made it. Wait...tinked...tink...Tinker...you know what, I'm calling Kyle 'Tinker' from now on. What a great nick name, for such a dorky kid!" - Ryne
Meanwhile, Robert, Ashton, and Erik were talking.
"I don't like this tribe," noted Ashton, "We have this dorky kid, and a mime who blatantly refuses to speak."
Erik nodded, "What can we do, we'll most likely be winning this challenge, anyway."
"Kyle and Mime, in my opinion, should be the first two members to go. Their both weak, and not worth keeping for my game." - Ashton
Robert spoke up, "What are we going to do with Enoch?"
Erik shrugged, "I don't know. He's safe, so there's not much we can do."
"We could try to trick him into giving up the necklace to one of us." noted Robert.
"While I'm not quite sure if Enoch can give up the leadership necklace, I think it's worth a shot. If he can give it up, we need to get it to Ashton or Erik. I honestly think their worth being leaders in my opinion." - Robert
Ashton smirked, "That, my friend, might just work."
"Me and Erik have to align with Enoch, and get him comfortable enough to give up being leader. After that, we'll blindside him! Hey, being leader will kill you in this game." - Ashton
– – – – –
Tomqi Day 2
Diane, Shohn, and Rebecca were sitting around the shelter.
"You kids sleep well last night?" asked Diane.
Shohn nodded, "Kind of. Damn shelter wasn't big enough for some people though."
"We didn't build a good enough shelter. As a result, Patrick and Jacob had to sleep outside last night. I know their pissed at me." - Shohn
"They'll get over it though," giggled Rebecca, "We just need to make some fixes."
Shohn nodded, "I'll tell Karrington later that he'll need to fix the shelter. But now, it's way too early to do anything."
"Shohn, in my opinion, is a good leader. I'm glad Rebecca chose him to lead Tomqi. I also think I can trust the two of them." - Diane
Meanwhile, Patrick and Karrington talking behind the ruins.
"Man, this spot feels warm and cozy!" commented Karrington for absolutely no reason at all.
Patrick changed the subject, "I think that you should be watching your back."
"Why?" asked Karrington.
Patrick picked up a rock, and began scratching the ruins with it, "Just cause I heard your name pop up yesterday."
"Who'd be thinking about the game now?" wondered Karrington.
Patrick shrugged, "Boy, Shohn told me that, as did Angela. You'd better watch your back."
"Patrick was scaring me. He told me that my name was brought up by both Shohn and Angela. Should I trust Patrick? Yes, because I have no one else to trust!" - Karrington
Patrick smirked.
"I made that up, so that Karrington would get on Shohn's nerves, and maybe Angela's. The more people I have against Karrington, the better." - Patrick
Karrington confronted Shohn.
"Did you bring up my name for elimination?" asked Karrington, paranoid.
Shohn shook his head, "Nah man. I haven't really thought about the game much. Who told you that?"
"Patrick."
Shohn nodded, suspicious.
"I don't know where Patrick got that from, but I am not going against Karrington. I think the dude is strong, and we need him to beat Corr." - Shohn
– – – – –
"Come on in guys!"
Both tribes entered the challenge area.
"Guys ready for your first immunity challenge?"
Everyone nodded.
"Leaders, you will pick 5 people to push a large, heavy cart, from start to finish. Along the way, you must light 5 different torches along the way. First tribe to reach the finish, wins immunity."
Jeff revealed the idol, which was basically a small silver Barack Obama statue.
Corr
Pushing the crate: Ashton, Erik, Enoch, Ryne, and Blanca.
Lighting the torches: Blanca
Tomqi: Shohn, Karrington, Patrick, Angela, and Jett.
Lighting the torches: Angela
"Survivors ready? GO!"
Both Corr and Tomqi raced out evenly, but Corr pushed ahead, when Ryne, slowing down, jumped on top of the cart, giving Corr more of an advantage.
Corr lighted their first torch, with Tomqi a tad behind. But Shohn and Karrington got a huge amount of energy, and literally shoved their cart far. Angela was lucky enough to light torch.
With Tomqi catching up to Corr, Corr tried to get away from them. But Tomqi once again fell short, when Corr took their long lead again.
With Corr having lit 2 torches, Tomqi looked dead. But Karrington wasn't done yet. With one large push, he once again pushed the cart forward again. Angela, again, was lucky to light the torch.
But no matter what, Corr would always have the lead over Tomqi. Blanca continued forth, lighting the third torch for Corr.
But then, Corr got stuck in the mud. Enoch and Ashton tried to push it out, but it was useless. Tomqi pushed forward, lighting their third torch.
Soon, Tomqi was back up with Corr, actually passing them! Angela lit the fourth torch for Tomqi.
Erik was cleaning off the wheels of the cart quickly, and before anything could happen, Corr was back in it! Blanca quickly lit the fourth torch for Corr.
It was neck and neck...until...
…
…
…
…
…
"CORR WINS IMMUNITY!"
All of Corr hugged and cheered.
"Epic, yet close comeback Corr. Tonight, and for 3 more days, you don't have to go to tribal council! But, for Tomqi, one of you will be the first person voted out of the tribe. See you all tomorrow night."
– – – – –
Tomqi Day 3
Shohn was disappointed about the loss.
"We lost the challenge. It sucks when you thought you had a good tribe, to realize we're just not good enough. Hopefully, tonight, we'll change all that." - Shohn
Shohn, Rebecca, and Diane were all talking in the shelter.
"I trust the three of us," noted Shohn, "As long as we stick together, we can go far."
Diane nodded, "You have my word, Shohn."
"Me too!" smiled Rebecca.
"Tonight, I think Patrick should go first," noted Shohn, "He's trying to get Karrington out. I can feel it."
"Karrington is paranoid that he's going home tonight, but he's not. Patrick is. He's spouting paranoia in his tiny head, and it needs to stop." - Shohn
"That's okay with me." noted Diane.
"Me too." nodded Rebecca.
Meanwhile, Patrick was speaking with Angela.
"It's gotta be Karrington tonight." noted Patrick.
Angela sighed, "Dude! Snap out of it! Karrington is carrying this tribe right now! Literally!"
"I don't care," snorted Patrick, "It's my turn now."
"It's official. Patrick's lost it. I mean, what is the guy smoking?" - Angela
After Patrick left, Rebecca went to speak with Angela.
"What's up chick?" asked Angela.
"I'm voting Patrick tonight, sorry if your not going to, though..." sighed Rebecca.
"Oh no, I'm fine with it." chuckled Angela, "He's getting on my #$%#ing nerves."
"I'm glad that other people feel the same about Patrick. My god. I'm so glad he's leaving tonight." - Angela
– – – – –
The Corr tribe entered tribal council.
"Behind each of you is a torch, grab the torch, dip it in, and get fire. This is your life at tribal council. If that fire goes out, you go home."
Everyone took a seat.
"So let's talk about the first 3 days. Jett, how did your tribe fare at camp?" asked Jeff.
"We have a lot of colorful personalities, but I think some are just a wee bit too fishy to me." replied Jett.
"Angela, does anything seem too fishy to you?" asked Jeff.
"I agree with Jett. There are definitely some people who are just way too threatening at this point." replied Angela.
"Karrington, are you worried?" asked Jeff.
"I did at first, but after some conversations back at camp, I feel safe now." replied Karrington.
"Rebecca, how do you think the vote will play out?" asked Jeff.
"It'll probably be a blindside to the person leaving, but to everyone else, not so much." replied Rebecca.
"Ok, before we vote. Shohn, you are the leader of this tribe. If you wish, you may give up being leader, and give it to someone else. You want to?"
"No thank you. I'll keep it." replied Shohn.
"Alright, you may not vote for Shohn. Time to vote, Angela, your up."
– – –
Karrington's Vote: You can't be trusted. (Patrick)
Patrick's Vote: I know I'm going home tonight, after some words said tonight. I hope this message gets across and sends you out next. (?)
– – –
"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, Patrick.
…
Patrick. 2 votes Patrick.
…
Patrick. 3 votes Patrick. (He nodded.)
…
…
Jacob. 1 vote Jacob. (Jacob was slightly surprised.)
…
…
Patrick. That's 4 votes Patrick.
First person voted out of Survivor Marble, Patrick. 5 votes are enough, you need to hand me your torch.
Patrick got up, "Well. You saw my vote. He's gotta be the next to go! I mean it!"
"Patrick, the tribe has spoken."
He snuffed out his torch.
"Time for you to go."
Patrick left without a word.
"With the loss of Patrick, you now gain the power to make fire. Take this flint, make fire, and eat your rice. Grab your torches, and head on back. Good night."
– – – – –
Jacob – Patrick
Patrick – Rebecca, Angela, Jacob, Diane, Shohn, Karrington, and Jett
