Jeff Probst was seen walking along a few rocks near the beach.
"Welcome to Castaway Bay!" he called, "Castaway Bay is home to various party games, board games, and is considered one of the more exotic locations in the Mario world!"
Ten different boats were speeding along the waters from different locations. Each boat contained two people.
"For an exotic location, comes an exotic twist and season!" continued Jeff, "This season, for our 21st season ever, we will be taking returning players, and pitting them against their loved ones! We have brothers, dating couples, and even some parents and their children! It will certainly be a season to remember!"
"Yay! I'm so happy I'm back on this island! Well, okay not exactly this island, but this game in particular!" "Anise really got excited for this game, so when her parents couldn't make it, she was really upset." "But I'm so glad you got to make it here, Fon Master! Hooray!" - Anise & Ion; Survivor: Virmire
"My dad is definitely one of the more influential people in the world! Although when I was a kid, he never let up on me being this tech geek." "Matthew knows this game inside and out, and even if I'm this old geezer in the family, I think I'll do fine. Isn't that right, son?" "We'll just have to find out, dad!" - Matt 'Farmer' & Christian ; Survivor: Emerald Hill
"Bah, last season was such a big joke. This time, I decided to bring along a little extra help to get me along in this game." "My beloved Queen truthfully is the best player to ever play... and we're here to prove it to everyone here. I'll do anything to help my Queen." "And that's why I love you the most, Lucian." - Cynthia & Lucian ; Survivor: Packers
"This year has been one big celebration, and it's specifically for me!" "Well, what did ya expect, darling? You're Mario's brother, and you get little attention! You deserve some attention. Especially from more then just me!" "I know, Daisy, I know, and I'm loving it so far." - Luigi & Daisy ; Survivor: Reals vs. OCs
"I'll be the first to admit this, but uh, who'd ever expect us to be together, huh?" "Well, I wouldn't really say that. I think our friends tried to pair us up many a time." "But I loved their suggestions, heck even the pretend wedding they threw for us before we got together. Hehe! Anyway, thanks to your help, Sunil, I think we're prepared for this season!" - Pepper & Sunil ; Survivor: Prison Island
"Ten seasons ago, I was the King. Now, I think that title has been long lost for me. But I'm coming back with a game plan, and here to help me, is my beautiful fiancée Katherine." "Will taught me everything I need to know about this game. I don't put up with any bull, and these guys better think twice about lying to me." "That's my girl!" - Will & Katherine ; Survivor: Green Hill
"My duties as Queen have usually kept me away from doing Survivor a second time. Luckily for us I happened to find the time to make it." "My mother isn't the evil Queen to me as the audience might think. She's very protective of her family and home." "You mess with Edenia or my daughter, you mess with me, and I'm not a woman to be messed with." - Sindel & Kitana ; Survivor: Edenia
"I've played very emotional games the last two times I played this game, in order to protect those I care about. Here, it won't be any different." "Please, Mom! You'll be able to vote me off when ya have to right? ...Actually, please don't remember I said that." "Don't worry, Danielle. I would never vote off my baby girl, and I won't let you get into any trouble if I can help it." - Lady & Danielle ; Survivor: Cuties
"Huh... do you mind if I call you Adrian at all during the game?" "Oh don't you dare! Everyone will know that my true name is Gage, and I'm one tough, mean mother#%$#er. You may be my little brother, but I'll mess with you, if I get the chance." "We'll see about that, Gage. Honestly, I think we'll kick some serious ass regardless." - Sabastian & Gage ; Survivor: Green Hill
"I never expected to get the call to return to the game! It's seriously an honor, and more of an honor to spend 39 days with my sweet girlfriend Dixie Kong!" "Yahoo! Seriously, I'm so excited for this game to begin! I mean, I watched Diddy two seasons ago, and he rocked!" "More like messed up, but I've learned from my mistakes, and I'm going to correct them." - Diddy & Dixie ; Survivor: Prison Island
"While these ten pairs think they will be working together, they unfortunately will not," confessed Jeff, "As we will have loved ones taking on returning players, and already ten minutes into the game, we will have a huge twist! 39 days, 20 people, 1 SURVIVOR!"
Duos: Anise & Ion, Cynthia & Lucian, Diddy & Dixie, Lady & Danielle, Luigi & Daisy, Matt 'Farmer' & Christian, Pepper & Sunil, Sabastian & Gage, Sindel & Kitana, and Will & Katherine
– – – – –
"Come on in guys!"
All ten duos eventually arrived on some unknown beach.
"Welcome to Survivor 21... Blood vs. Water!"
Everyone cheered wildly.
"Lady, it's certainly been a long while since we've seen you here. What's it like being back for your third time?"
Lady smiled, "Survivor has been a wonderful journey for me, even if it brings out the worst in people. I'm just glad I'm allowing my daughter to have a chance."
"Indeed so. Danielle, being the youngest one out here, I'm sure that doesn't scare you at all."
Danielle shook her head. "Nuh uh! I'm ready for anything out here! I actually like being in the outdoors. I feel like my sisters don't know what they're missing!"
"Well, I'm sure we're all very excited to get started, and we're going to. Right now, we're going to compete in our very first immunity challenge."
Everyone was surprised, and got ready.
"Each duo will select one person to go into the forest behind me, and search for a hidden immunity idol. Yes, they are back in play this season, but this one is not for keeps. This is for immunity for both you and your partner, and it'll certainly come in handy in a few minutes. We'll get to that later. First player to find the idol, will earn a special advantage, along with their partner. Let's get started."
Going out to find the idol are Anise, Cynthia, Daisy, Danielle, Dixie, Kitana, Matt, Sabastian, Sunil, and Will.
"Survivors ready? GO!"
All ten players raced out into the jungle, while their loved ones cheered them on. Daisy, Dixie, and Danielle were all searching in one area together, around a series of bushes. Cynthia stayed back and watched Sabastian and Sunil dig, hoping to swipe in and steal it if she saw it. Kitana was climbing up trees, looking through and inside trees.
Dixie eventually split on off away from Danielle and Daisy, and started to rapidly dig through dirt, in particularly between a triangle of trees, thinking that looked symbolic. Sunil noticed Cynthia looking over his shoulder, and he squeaked, running away to find another location. Nevertheless, Cynthia followed him, figuring that Sabastian wasn't having any luck. Anise and Matt were having zero luck whatsoever, while Will was soon in the bushes with Danielle and Daisy.
Matt and Sabastian eventually gave up, having zero luck whatsoever, but still trying to look, but not as hard as they once were. Kitana saw where Dixie was digging, and nodded to herself, hopping down off a tree to dig near her, thinking she had the right idea. Sunil eventually joined them, with Cynthia slyly watching from afar.
The idol was indeed in the area where Dixie, Kitana, and Sunil all were, and they were digging rapidly, and quickly. In the end...
…
…
…
…
...Dixie found the idol, and grabbed it, and quickly hopped up in the air when she saw Cynthia dive face first towards her. She giggled mischievously, and clambered towards Jeff.
"Dixie has it! Dixie has won the first challenge, and keeps herself and her boyfriend Diddy safe!"
Everyone clapped for Dixie, while Diddy gave her a soft kiss on the lips.
"Congratulations Dixie! You, and your boyfriend Diddy, are safe... for at least ten or so minutes. Because it's time to change the game up."
Everyone was confused.
"Returning players, yellow mat. Loved ones, red mat. Collect a buff once you get to your colored mat."
Everyone was shocked at the news that they would be facing off against their loved ones. Some were sad and upset, but others were excited, and looking forward to the competition on the other tribe.
"Returning players, you are the Galang tribe. Loved ones, you are the Tadhana tribe. But we just aren't done yet. Oh no, we got plenty more to do."
Everyone was confused, and then surprised when Jeff started to hand out parchments and pens.
"You guys are going to make the first votes of the game, as you will each vote off one player from your tribe, and send them out of the game."
Everyone grew very nervous, except for Dixie and Diddy, as of course they had immunity.
"Because Dixie has immunity, she and Diddy are both safe from the vote, and only this vote. Everyone else? Completely vulnerable."
"Well, this was complete and utter crap. I was looking forward to kicking my brother's ass in the challenges, but it looks like he might be in trouble. He doesn't make good impressions that's for sure." - Sabastian
"I think Luigi will be safe, but I gotta worry about me right now. No sense in worrying about Luigi if I can't do anything about it. I need to think hard about this vote. Who do I not want to deal with for 39 days? That's my criteria." - Daisy
"Queen Cynthia... I wish I could save you right now... she's definitely not in the best position right now... she doesn't think she'll be out now, but it's Queen Cynthia here... she'll be out in a heartbeat, and that's unfair." - Lucian
"If this was season... I don't know... 11? Maybe I would be the person they'd vote off first, and in fact they did! But with all of these big threats standing around me? Y'know... Sindel, Cynthia, Anise..? I think I'll squeeze by this vote." - Will
"Alright, it's time to make that vote. Find a small spot away from others... and write down the name of the person you do not want to see again."
Everyone walked off, and started writing down a name on the parchment. Most of their hearts were beating heavily.
After all twenty votes were sent to Jeff, he read them to himself, before nodding.
"Tadhana, we'll start with you. With a vote of 5-3-2..."
…
…
…
…
…
"...Ion, Tadhana has chosen to vote you off the tribe."
Ion nodded, seemingly okay with the vote, and didn't look surprised. He walked off the mat, and joined up with Jeff. Anise gave a death glare to the other tribe.
"Ion, how does it feel to be the first person voted out of Survivor?"
Ion sighed, "It's not the best feeling in the world, but I think my tribe would be better off without me, honestly speaking. I think they made the right choice, and I have to live with it."
"Anise, what are your thoughts on this?"
"It really annoys me that I couldn't save Ion from being voted off!" whined Anise, "I'll get back at them for it, Ion. Trust me!"
Ion smiled warmly at Anise.
"And Galang... in a pretty clear 9-1 vote..."
…
…
…
…
…
"...Cynthia, Galang has chosen to vote you off the tribe."
Cynthia was very angry at the thought of her tribe voting her off. Still, she walked off her tribe mat, and stood on the other side of Jeff.
"You don't look happy at all Cynthia." noted Jeff.
"Well, how can I be?" snapped Cynthia, "Galang just so happened to vote off their strongest member. Tadhana made a good choice, but with every good choice comes a bad one, and Galang made it. Expected better of returning players."
"Lucian, how hard is it to see your woman out of the game?"
Lucian frowned, wiping his long purple hair aside, "It's very sad, and now I feel alone without my dear Queen by my side. I will fight for you, my Queen!"
Cynthia gave no reaction to Lucian, just nodding.
"Well... I do have some good news. Ion, Cynthia...? You are NOT out of the game just yet. Instead... much like with Survivor Edenia, you will be sent to Redemption Island."
Ion nodded, smiling a little more. Cynthia shrugged it off, having been through a similar season. As for their loved ones, Anise clapped her hands excitedly, while Lucian fell to his knees, thanking Arceus.
"However, before I send you on your way... Anise, Lucian... how much do you value your loved ones? Is it worth giving up your spot in the game? Because, if you want, you can swap places with your loved ones, and send yourself to Redemption Island, and have your loved one take your spot on your tribe. Anise, you first."
"Please Ion! I know I'm greedy, but I'm your guardian!" demanded Anise, "If I die, I want to die knowing I saved your life!"
Ion shook his head, "I'm sorry Anise, but I want you to stay on Galang. All I'll be is a distraction for them, and probably lose them a challenge. I don't want that burden."
"But..."
Ion gave her a stern stare, "Anise, please. I want you to stay."
Anise pouted, before nodding, "Okay."
"Looks like Anise is staying on Galang. Lucian, what about yo-"
Lucian was already walking off his mat, towards Cynthia.
"...you? Well, looks like you want to give up your spot for Cynthia's, is that correct?"
Lucian nodded, "She would've wanted me to anyway. She's my Queen, and I serve her with all my heart."
"Very well then, Lucian, you are now on Redemption Island instead of Cynthia. Cynthia, you are now a member of the Tadhana tribe. Drop your buff, and come take a red one."
Cynthia smirked evilly, and gladly took her red buff, joining the Tadhana tribe. They didn't look pleased at all.
Jeff then tossed maps to Matt and Kitana.
"Galang, Tadhana, your business here is done. You guys can follow your maps to your new homes, and enjoy the next 39 days. Ion, Lucian, please make your way to Redemption Island, where you will await your first opponent. See you all later."
Galang: Anise, Diddy, Lady, Luigi, Matt 'Farmer', Pepper, Sabastian, Sindel, and Will
Tadhana: Christian, Cynthia, Daisy, Danielle, Dixie, Gage, Katherine, Kitana, and Sunil
Redemption Island: Ion and Lucian

Galang Day 1
As soon as the nine yellow buffed returning players arrived at their beach, Will placed his bag near the Galang flag, and raised his arms up.
"Glad to be back finally!" cheered Will, "It's been way too long, and thank God Cynthia isn't here!"
"It's been a decade since I've played Survivor, but I've been watching every season outside of mine, and I have to say... these players have gotten better. That's for sure. I mean... Sindel and Anise are two really threatening women. We got rid of Cynthia, sure, but who's next?" - Will
Sindel shook her head, "Truthfully a disgrace of a Queen, and it sickens me she's still in the game. Just now with all of our loved ones."
"I think Gage will smack her, honestly," shrugged Sabastian, "He's a womanizer, yeah, but Cynthia will get on his nerves. Trust me."
"Hah! Kitana won't put up with her for one second. Rest assured that my daughter will take her out in a heartbeat." smirked Sindel.
"Kitana is the Princess of Edenia, my humble daughter to be more specific. We've ruled Edenia ever since her father died, and we've been doing a fine job ever since. I have no worries about my daughter. She's tough and she very well knows it." - Sindel
Pepper snickered, "As if Cynthia thinks she'll control any of our loved ones. Although I'm just worried poor ol' Sunil will fall for her tricks. He's uh... bit of a coward, to put it lightly."
"Hey, who freaking cares about stupid Cynthia?" snapped Anise, walking forward, "We need to worry about us, the Galang tribe! We're going to win, right!?"
Everyone nodded, and agreed with her, going off with her to get camp set up and ready.
"Ion may be on Redemption Island, but please! They always say the "strong" will survive Redemption Island. But it's just stupid puzzles back and forth that the physically strong will falter! Ion is more a thinker, so I think I made the right choice in staying." - Anise
A few minutes later, everyone was out doing their own thing. Matt, Pepper, and Will tried to make a fire with Sindel's help, while Lady, Luigi, and Diddy were out getting wood to build a shelter.
Luigi placed some wood in Diddy's arms, turning to face Lady, "I must ask you... why didn't Tramp come along with you?"
"Tramp wasn't interested in playing. He didn't like all the strategy and manipulating," explained Lady, "He would've come if it was more for adventure."
"Back home, I have four children; one son, and three daughters. I decided to bring my youngest, Danielle, along because I knew she was going to have fun no matter what the outcome, and that's what I want her to have. Fun the whole way through." - Lady
"Hey, I came out for the adventure," replied Diddy, "But I enjoyed myself. Dixie herself also wants the adventure. It's not how you place first or last. It's about enjoying yourself, and playing the game."
Luigi nodded, "I'd say Daisy's going to be very competitive. She's definitely not a princess type, much like Mario's girlfriend. I have all my faith in her."
"Alright, Luigi, get your head in the game. You came out here for a third and final time to show Daisy how much of a man you are! Show your brother that you are the number one, rather then number two. Yeah.. I'm definitely ready for the game. Bring it-a on!" - Luigi
– – – – –
Tadhana Day 1
Cynthia was smirking the whole way to the Tadhana camp, watching Christian, Daisy, and Kitana guide their tribe.
"I knew that Lucian would switch with me once Probst explained the twist. It was near perfect for me, really, and now I'm with newbies. They will allow me to be Queen, and take them through this game." - Cynthia
As soon as the nine red buffed players arrived at camp, they started to hug and cheer, greeting everyone. Cynthia, however, was not interested, and spoke up.
"Listen, mortals," she called, "I am your beloved Queen Cynthia, and as long as you bow before me, I will take you far into this game!"
Gage immediately gave her the finger, "Oh $#%# that #$%#. You ain't gettin' nothing!"
"We lost two pathetic guys... and got an even more pathetic woman who lives in her own fantasy world. Listen, I ain't no Survivor guru, but I know who the $%#$ this woman is." - Gage
Christian shook his head, "That won't be working with us, Cynthia, and you should know that. We may be new to the game, but your stunts aren't going to work. Not with me, especially."
"In fact, you're the first one getting voted off if we ever lose!" declared Kitana.
Cynthia smirked evilly, walking up to Kitana, "Hmm... just as worthless as your mother."
Kitana shoved her away, "You don't even know my mother!"
"All I do know is that she is a failure at this game, and I've already mastered this game by making it to the end. She never did, now did she?" laughed Cynthia, sinisterly.
"Cynthia's not going to rule this camp the way she did before. I won't allow it, and I believe the rest of the loved ones know the same deal. There's little she can do to hurt us, so I'm not concerned. If we ever throw a challenge, she'll be gone immediately back to her boy toy." - Kitana
"Now now," spoke up Christian, clearing his throat, "It's only Day 1, yes? The sun is shining for now, and we need to get camp started. Cynthia, please, let's just keep things civil?"
Cynthia rolled her eyes, and wandered off into the jungle, "Whatever." Christian shrugged, and he and the rest of the tribe went to work on camp.
"Cynthia is never going to fit in with that attitude of hers. But... we made our team stronger by voting off Ion, and then losing Lucian afterwards. Cynthia is herself good at challenges. Depending on how she does, it could be worth keeping her around for challenges. Rest assured though, she won't last long." - Christian
So soon the eight loved ones were hard at work. Christian, Gage, Katherine, Kitana, and Sunil were busy with the shelter, while Daisy, Danielle, and Dixie were tying together palm fronds for the roof.
"So I gotta ask, ladies," asked Daisy, "Who'd y'all vote for?"
"Gage. I'm sorry, but he creeps me out on first glance." shrugged Dixie.
Danielle blinked, "Wait, seriously? That's what I did!"
"Gage just looked very mean to me. I know he looked strong, but he's just not someone I wanna trust, y'know? But now we got Cynthia, and boy, is our tribe in trouble or what? At least my Mom doesn't have to deal with her!" - Danielle
Daisy giggled, "Three in the same, it seems. But now there's someone even worse then Gage, and that's Cynthia, the self righteous Queen. God she's so annoying!"
"Why is it that so many Queens are just straight up evil?! I mean, I'm a princess, and my mother is one of the nicest queens I know! Maybe Cynthia and Sindel had rough childhoods or something like that." (shrugs) "I dunno, all I know is that Cynthia is so screwed." - Daisy
Dixie bit her lower lip, "Umm... is it wrong if I say I wanna throw a challenge just to vote her off?"
"Nahh, it's not wrong," giggled Danielle, "But I'm not throwing any challenges! I wanna impress my Mom, and I'm sure you both want to impress your boyfriends! We need to show them that we're tough, right?"
Both Dixie and Daisy nodded, smiling happily.
– – – – –
Redemption Island Night 1
Both Ion and Lucian were sitting in the shelter, looking out at the pitch black sky, watching waves as well.
"That didn't seem like a big choice for you," noted Ion, "Are you worried about Cynthia?"
"Well what do you expect? I'm her loyal love and slave. If I didn't do it then, she would've asked." replied Lucian.
"Queen Cynthia is my love, my lust, my soul. Everything I do is completely in her honor. I would fall on the sword for her, and in fact I've already done it... twice! She's really good at the game, but she catches very unlucky breaks, is all." - Lucian
Ion nodded, "I see. Well, I just hope Anise doesn't get into too much trouble on her tribe. But I didn't want her here, because I knew she wouldn't get very far on Redemption Island."
"If there's one thing I know about Redemption Island, it's that no matter what, brains beats brawn by a long mile. I'm nothing special in the strength department, and I can get sick easily. But Anise and my other allies tell me that I'm a smart thinker, so I think I'll be able to beat Lucian in any puzzle." - Ion
Ion stood up, and looked around the island, arms behind his back, "Hmm... do you think we're not dueling until a third person shows up?"
Lucian nodded, "Seems to be that way. There was no note that there was a duel tomorrow."
Ion nodded in reply to Lucian, before going back into the shelter, and laying down.
– – – – –
Tadhana Night 1
The tribe was sound asleep in their newly built shelter. Cynthia was the only one not in with them, as she was sleeping in the forest, much like last season in the beginning.
"Last season, I got help, and I think I'll be getting help once again, but... it doesn't seem to be looking that way just yet. Well then, if that's how they want to treat their precious Queen, then they will soon learn their lesson!" - Cynthia
Cynthia slowly sneaked into camp, watching the others sleep. She then took two of the three bags of rice they got in the beginning, and poured all of the rice into the fire, which they got without flint thanks to Kitana.
After she poured out all the rice, she took the only other bag of rice, and took it into the jungle, keeping it for herself.
"They will beg for my leadership. They will want me to show them the way to victory. Without food in their bellies, they cannot compete, and will look to me for guidance" - Cynthia
– – – – –
Galang Day 2
It was an early morning for the Galang tribe. Matt looked outside of the shelter, and yawned to himself, slowly walking out.
"In Survivor, I've stepped out of challenges for cheeseburgers. I've made a fantastic purple rock maneuver. I think I've defined myself to be this Survivor fanboy. In the real world, I'm a geek, no kidding, right? But with my dad on the other tribe, this might be a little more difficult then I thought it'd be." - Matt
He took a seat on a log near the fire. Just like Tadhana, they also had fire, thanks to Luigi's fireballs. Diddy and Luigi were sitting nearby, eating rice.
"Where is everyone today..?" asked Matt, still a little tired.
Luigi shrugged, "Well, I know Sindel, Pepper, and Lady went out for fruit.. and Sabastian and Will are in the boat setting fish traps. Anise is still sleeping in the shelter, as were you until you woke up."
Matt nodded, "True enough."
"I don't know who I'd want out first should we lose the first challenge. I don't want to think about it either, because it could very well be me! The best bet would be Anise, as she's not helpful around camp, and her loved one is on Redemption Island, but there hasn't been much talk." - Luigi
Diddy shook his head, "I didn't sleep much last night. I just can't help but wonder what Cynthia's doing to Tadhana right now. I swear if she hurts Dixie..."
Luigi shivered, "I'm just glad she's not on our tribe... even Sindel's been calm so far."
"Sindel's going to be help in challenges," replied Matt, "But I think we need to worry about Will and Sabastian."
"Even if Cynthia was here on this tribe, I would be more concerned about the duo of Will and Sabastian. Last time I played, they were responsible for my elimination, and of course, I need to take them out. I need to strike first this time around, instead of being blindly loyal." - Matt
"I know exactly what you mean," nodded Luigi, "Thick as thieves those two.. not to mention Sabastian's tougher looking brother."
"See, I don't know what they're planning yet, but I think it could be against me. I'm not the strongest, so they could make that argument and send me home first." worried Matt.
"Well don't worry about that, Farmer," smiled Diddy, reassuring him, "I have no intentions of voting you out first."
"I don't think Farmer is the weakest link. Right now, it's probably between Pepper and Anise for who's the weakest, but Pepper has been boasting she's trained lately, and she was doing yoga on the beach early this morning. We'll have to see to believe, y'know?" - Diddy
Meanwhile, out in the boat, Will and Sabastian were talking about the game, while Sabastian set up various fish traps.
"Listen, I know it puts a huge target on our backs," explained Will, "But the thing is, we have no options. Even if we weren't together, they would suspect of being together anyway. Besides, we got far in All-Stars despite the big target."
Sabastian nodded, "Oh yeah, that's true. But Will, just trust me, dude, we gotta get the numbers. There ain't no Curtis or Kevin around out here."
"Last season, Heroes vs. Villains, I went in completely unprepared, and got voted out first as a result. Out here, I think I can get myself in a good spot if I play my cards right. Sabastian is on my side. Katherine, if she survives, will be on my side. If we can make a few more friends, we're set." - Will
"I think Pepper's pretty chill, ya know?" noted Sabastian, "I think we've had some great conversations, and I can trust her."
Will shrugged, "If Pepper's shows weakness, she's out early, guaranteed, but we'll see what happens. Gahh... you know..? I think we might need Sindel. Just a thought."
"You always come up with the crazy ideas..." groaned Sabastian.
"I don't tend to like strong willed women, especially in the game of Survivor. Sindel has proven to be a strong willed woman, and that worries me just a little bit. If I get her on my side, and I still end up going early, I'll regret voting Cynthia out." - Will
– – – – –
Tadhana Day 2
Cynthia was finished doing most of her sabotaging of the morning, having burned all but one bag of the rice, and burying all of the fishing traps. Her only thing left was the boat, but she decided to wait until they had flint. She was soon in the jungle in her own make shift shelter, resting for the day.
Sunil was the first to wake up at the loved ones camp, and went to go grab Kitana's fan blade to start a fire.
"Survivor is definitely one of the hardest things to do in this world. I mean, you have to wake up early in the mornings, and I am definitely no morning mongoose. You can definitely ask Pepper about that." - Sunil
Kitana left her fan blades for anyone to use, in the case the fire went out. When Sunil went to go get them, not only did he realize they were gone, but so were the rice bags. Sunil eventually went into freak out mode.
"It's happening! Eeek!" screamed Sunil, pacing back and forth in a little bit of a panic mode. This eventually woke everyone up.
Kitana spoke up angrily, "What is the matter with you, you little vermin!? Waking us up like that?"
Sunil pointed to where the fan blades and the rice once were, and everyone was shocked. Kitana was even more pissed off then before.
"This morning, Sunil woke us all up in a frenzy, screaming and hollering. At first, I thought he was having a heart attack, but then I realize our stuff was missing. There's only one person we can put the blame on for all this." - Kitana
Christian and Dixie searched around the camp, but of course, didn't see anything. Christian then looked down at the fire, and saw a few bits of unburnt rice laying there in the dirt.
"Of course," he muttered, before calling everyone over, "Everyone, it looks like we have a saboteur in the tribe."
"Well who else could it be?" shouted Kitana, "It's obvious Cynthia did it!"
"Thanks to Cynthia, we have absolutely no food, and we will be slowly but surely grow weaker by the day. Not a great start to a game such as Survivor. I just hope Cynthia has a good reason for burning our rice. Knowing her, I doubt it." - Christian
"Calm down Kitana," soothed Dixie, "Let's just go and see Cynthia about it. Perhaps she'll have an explanation."
"Let's just skip the explanation, and go to kicking her ass!" growled Gage.
"Damn it! Without food in our bellies, we're definitely going to start to fall apart! We already have weaker players like Danielle, Sunil, and Christian who are weak to begin with, but now we're all going to be weak because of scum like her!" - Gage
A few minutes later, Gage, Kitana, and Christian all walked into the jungle, and found Cynthia laying on her makeshift bed.
"What did you do with our food, you little bitch!?" shouted Gage.
Cynthia laughed evilly, "Seems like it grew legs, and walked away. Or even committed suicide. After all, it was a message... a message that meant that you should be bowing before me."
"You think you're so clever, don't you?" replied Kitana, crossing her arms, "Well you aren't. We will be defeated in the immunity challenge, and you will the one going home."
"Oh I wouldn't be so sure about that..." snickered Cynthia.
"I'm glad Jeff Probst revealed to us that the hidden immunity idol is back in play. It'll definitely be out in the woods, and I'll be spending day and night to find it. I know I'm definitely their target, but if I can scare them..." (laughs evilly) "This won't be as hard as I thought." - Cynthia
"What? You think Probst will rig it so that you stay?" growled Gage.
Cynthia shook her head, "No, because one, Probst doesn't stoop that low, and two, there are idols out here, and I already have it."
All three of them were shocked, and grew nervous.
"Then show it!" shouted Gage.
Cynthia raised an eyebrow, "Do you think I'm an idiot, mortal? If I show it to you, what are the odds that one of you would steal it from me?"
Before Gage could retaliate, Christian spoke up, "Listen, Cynthia, please, sabotaging the tribe is not the best idea. You're in this to win, right? You aren't doing yourself any favors."
Cynthia shrugged, before waving him off, "Whatever. Begone with you all. If you don't want my help, suffer all you wish."
With that said, Kitana, Christian, and Gage all left the jungle, with Gage still ticked off.
"Cynthia won't listen to reason, so she'll have to learn the hard way. But at the same time, if she does have that idol... any one of us could be going home, so it might be beneficial to vote someone else off so that her idol ends up being a waste." - Christian

"Come on in guys!"
Both tribes arrived at the challenge area.
"Guys ready for your first immunity challenge?"
Everyone nodded excitedly.
"For today's challenge, three members from each tribe will race out into the ocean and over a set of two obstacles to your tribe colored boat. Once there, one tribe member will dive down, and release the boat, untying a series of knots. Once it's free, you will paddle the boat back to shore, and deliver a chest, which is on board the boat, to three other members of your tribe. Inside the chest are puzzle pieces in the shape of a ship's wheel. First tribe to complete the puzzle, and spin the wheel to raise the tribe flag, win immunity and reward."
Jeff pulled out flint from his pocket.
"Some of you may have fire, but like I always say on Survivor, flint can never be voted off the island. It stays with you permanently Win immunity, you win this. Let's get started."
Galang
Swimmers: Diddy, Luigi, and Will
Puzzle: Lady, Matt, and Sindel
Tadhana
Swimmers: Daisy, Dixie, and Kitana
Puzzle: Christian, Katherine, and Sunil
"Survivors ready? GO!"
The six swimmers dove out into the ocean, and started to swim over towards the boats. The two obstacles in their path were one, a wall climb, and two, a climb up a steep ramp. Tadhana took an early lead, with their swimmers being stronger and faster then Galang's swimmers. Cynthia's efforts hadn't paid off just yet, it seems.
Diddy was the most athletic swimmer on the Galang tribe, and he was leading the charge for the tribe, clambering up the wall, and helping Luigi and Will over the wall, while Dixie had a little difficulty pulling Kitana up the wall. Nevertheless, the two tribes were soon even again, with Dixie slowing Tadhana down a little at the wall.
Luigi was quickly getting worn out from all the extra swimming, haven't not done this in quite a long while. Both Diddy and Will helped him through the challenge, but it caused Tadhana to get their lead back. Eventually, Daisy, Dixie, and Kitana were at the boat, and Kitana swam underwater to untie the knots keeping the boat there.
With Galang really starting to slow down, Tadhana paddled their way towards the beach, with Daisy being the main voice in the paddling, encouraging them to not give up. Eventually, Tadhana arrived at shore, and Christian, Sunil, and Katherine started work on the puzzle.
The Tadhana puzzle people needed some time to figure out what they needed to do, and during that time, Galang arrived at their boat, and Diddy untied the knots down beneath, and they started to paddle to shore to make up for lost time.
With Christian's strong leadership at the puzzle, Galang's weaker swim team was just not enough to help win the challenge.
Katherine placed in the final piece, and along with Sunil spun the completed wheel to raise their flag.
"TADHANA WINS IMMUNITY AND REWARD!"
All of Tadhana hugged and cheered.
"Great work today, Tadhana! You worked well as a team, and you just showed your loved ones how great you really are. Sadly, Galang, bad news. Tribal council tonight, and one of you will be voted off first, and sent to Redemption Island to face off against Ion and Lucian. See you all tonight."
– – – – –
Tadhana Day 3
The tribe returned from the challenge, feeling both happy and sad at the same time. Only Cynthia showed no emotion, walking back into the jungle.
"Give them a few more days. They will be withering away, wanting my forgiveness, and wanting my leadership. You will see how badly they need their Queen." - Cynthia
No one paid much notice to Cynthia, as Danielle spoke up, "Would you guys consider this a bittersweet victory?"
Daisy nodded, "Duh, of course. Man, I think Luigi really messed up today. I saw him today, and he struggled."
"It's only Day 3, and if you are not pulling your weight in challenges, I think you won't last long. Luigi, sadly, didn't do very well, and I hate to say that. I really hope he'll find a way to stick it in!" - Daisy
Gage scoffed, "Please! I say, screw immunity, let's just go to tribal council, save our loved ones, and vote that bitch off!"
"I think that would be a terrible idea, Gage. We must keep our morale high, after all." replied Sunil, crossing his arms.
Christian nodded, "Yes. I'm with Sunil on this one. Gage, I think we shall wait until we actually lose a challenge. After all, she might have that hidden idol, and one of us go home. It's a perfect set up."
"We've proven so far that Cynthia's methods of weakening us are futile. However, it's only Day 3, but give us three... five... eight more days? We will start to weaken, unless we find something to eat." - Christian
– – – – –
Galang Day 3
The tribe returned to camp, and everyone was a little down about losing.
"Guys, I'm really sorry about the challenge today," sighed Luigi, "If it's my time to go, I accept it, and don't worry about me going to Tadhana. I'll stay and fight."
Diddy patted Luigi's back, "It's no one's fault, really. Did you see our girlfriends today? They were just amazing, weren't they?"
"Them and my daughter, especially," smirked Sindel, crossing her arms, "Kitana has been trained for these sort of competitions, anyway. We may be veterans, but our loved ones are just as good as we are."
"Kitana is one strong woman, and who could expect otherwise, being the princess of Edenia, a true warrior? I and many others have trained her to be a skilled, combative ninja. Win or lose, I know my daughter will be safe for many days out here." - Sindel
Will was listening in on the conversation, whistling softly, nodding along.
"Last time I played, I was the first one out, and I'm determined to keep my name off the parchment tonight. I don't want to work with Sindel, but she's definitely a strong asset, and a bigger threat. You gotta keep those guys around so that the target stays off of you. Definitely something I failed to see in all three seasons." - Will
Matt, Anise, Luigi, and Diddy were sitting around the fire, cooking rice for the night. Matt looked over his shoulder, and saw a glimpse of Will and Sindel walking off into the jungle. He grew a little worried.
"Something on your mind, Farmer?" asked Anise, wondering what he was looking at.
"It's just.. I'm a little worried that Will will be throwing my name up for elimination. Our history isn't very great," sighed Matt, "And he currently talking to Sindel as we speak. Probably Sabastian as well."
"Right now, I need to save my own skin, because I'm sure Will might be gunning for me. After all, I'm not the strongest, not the best in challenges, and I'm opposition for him. There's plenty reasons for him to gun for me." - Matt
"Well it's a given that Will and Sabastian are connected at the hip," replied Diddy, "Maybe their loved ones as well, which is something to consider. But it's too easy... maybe they aren't the ones we should vote for tonight..."
"What are you suggesting?" asked Anise, curiously.
"We vote for Sindel tonight. If what Farmer saw is true, then she might be working with Will's team. Plus, she's a tough woman, and she could do the honorable thing, and take Cynthia out for us when Tadhana votes her off." explained Diddy.
"Right now, Ion and Lucian are the only two players on Redemption Island. They don't seem that strong from my point of view. However, should Sindel go there, I think she'd do very well, and with Cynthia counting her days, we need her out ASAP. Plus, we could potentially weaken Tadhana, and get Kitana to swap with her." - Diddy
Both Matt and Luigi nodded, with Luigi saying, "I'd be down with that, but I'm worried voting off Sindel would be a mistake. I still think that... well... nevermind. Yeah, Sindel tonight."
As the boys shook hands, Anise didn't like the plan to oust Sindel.
"As intimidating as Sindel is, I don't want Ion's chances to lower! Who knows what Sindel or Kitana are capable of out there on Redemption Island? I know it's mostly puzzles, but what if an endurance challenge comes along? Ion might not be strong enough to outlast them." - Anise
Meanwhile, Will and Sindel were talking in the forest. Joining them were Sabastian and Pepper, discussing the future.
"Listen," explained Will, "I think it's a no brainer for us to work together. We have the right team of brains, brawn, and social skills. Trust can be an issue dealt with throughout the game."
Sabastian nodded, "Yeah, but," He turned to Sindel, "I'm not calling you Queen Sindel. I'm not a servant of yours, just saying."
Sindel shrugged, "I could care less. The honorary title is nice, but not needed for everything you say."
"Will made an alliance with myself, Pepper, and Sindel, and I think we will work out very well together. I'm worried about Pepper being a liability, but she hasn't gotten a chance yet, so give her time. I'm patient about these things." - Sabastian
Pepper hopped up onto Sabastian's shoulder, carrying a mango in her tail, "So uh, any idea on who we're voting first? Are we basing it on who's weak or... something else?" She took a bite out of the mango.
"Luigi might've sucked today, but to be fair," replied Will, "I think we would've lost no matter what. Tonight... I want Farmer to go. I just don't trust him whatsoever. I could care less if his dad swaps with him, I just want him out of here."
"If Farmer goes to Redemption Island tonight, my mind can rest at ease. I know that he might be coming after me tonight, and I need to make a move on him. It's not like Galang would be screwed without Farmer. So I'm not concerned whatsoever." - Will
"I'm good with that idea," nodded Sindel, "But what about a fifth vote? We're not exactly majority, you know?"
Will nodded, "I know I know, jeez, I'm getting to it. I say we tell Anise what we're doing. She knows she's not in a good spot being a weak player, so she'll hopefully vote with us to keep herself safe."
All four of them shook hands, and went their separate ways.
"I'm feeling quite great with this alliance! It ain't no Bad Girls Syndicate, but it'll do for now! Ya got Will, leading us. You got Sabastian, the sidekick, and you got Sindel, the queen. I guess you can consider me the fourth wheel of the bunch. But I'm not useless to them." - Pepper
A few minutes later, before tribal council started, Pepper was talking with Anise and Lady. She was the one to ask Anise about voting Matt.
"Well, that's a much better choice then Sindel!" remarked Anise, "And yeah, I know that's who Matt, Luigi, and Diddy all want out! I was right there!"
Lady shook her head, "I don't think Sindel is the right choice, either Anise. As much as I think Matt is a good person to keep around, it needs to be done to keep Galang strong."
"Pepper told me and Anise that there was a plan to vote Matt out, and I think it was a good idea. But there is a part of me that wanted to go with what Luigi and the rest said about voting Sindel off. The weaker we are, the chances of Danielle staying are higher. But I... haven't made a decision yet." - Lady
"So are you girls in or not," asked Pepper, "After all, we gotta head to tribal council soon."
Both Anise and Lady agreed with Pepper, and shook her paw. Anise, though, was still thinking about the vote.
"I mean, yeah, Cynthia being gone would be excellent! But I don't want to worry about Ion on Redemption Island. So... uggghhh! This vote is so hard! The first vote can always be hard, depending on how you wanna play the game. I wanna play it straight to the point, and for Ion's sake. So that's how I'll vote. Who can Ion beat?" - Anise
– – – – –
The Galang tribe arrived at tribal council.
"Behind each of you is a torch. Grab one and dip it in the fire. As I'm sure you all know, fire represents your life in this game. If your torch is gone, so are you. With of course, a slight exception this season, with Redemption Island."
Everyone did so, and then sat down.
"So we had a very exciting, and maybe emotional start to this season, and it's been an interesting first three days. Luigi, you came into this game, ready to play with Daisy, and then boom, you're on separate tribes. Today, you lost to her at the immunity challenge. Thoughts?" asked Jeff.
"Daisy is an amazing swimmer, so uh, I'll say that much. I failed today, and I apologized to the tribe, and that's all I can do at this point." replied Luigi.
"Sindel, your daughter, Kitana, did just as well if not better in the immunity challenge. Do you think you'll be a threat simply because of your daughter?" asked Jeff.
Sindel nodded.
"Of course! I'm already entering this game with a target on my back, so it's going to be all the more difficult for me to get through this game. I played Edenia with no knowledge of how to play the game, and now that I do, it'll be interesting to see what I've learned." replied Sindel.
"Lady, you played this game with Eevee, who is now a very happy Flareon. You shared a mother daughter relationship out here, so do you think this game will be easier or harder with your real daughter, Danielle, here?" asked Jeff.
"A lot harder, Jeff. Eevee was vulnerable and not the healthiest one out there, so I took on a mother role. Danielle is my blood, my heart, and my soul, as are all my children." replied Lady.
"Pepper, what does the vote tonight bring us? Will it be based off who's loved one is on the other tribe? Or will it be keeping the tribe strong?" asked Jeff.
"It's a mixed blessing really. I want the tribe to be strong, but if we start winning, our loved ones will be put in danger. I don't want to play it like this, but we have to, and we're each preparing for the inevitable when our loved ones get voted off." replied Pepper.
"Sabastian, if it's you tonight, do you think your brother will save you?" asked Jeff.
Sabastian shook his head.
"Oh hell no! Gage'll be like... 'Bro, you gotta fight to stay! I ain't saving your ass!'. We love eachother, but we're not going to save eachother, because it's not our battle." replied Sabastian.
"Okay, it's time to vote, Anise, you're up."
– – –
Anise's Vote: So sorry! I gotta play this for Ion! (?)
Diddy's Vote: Nothing personal, but if you go, you could defeat Cynthia when she comes. (Sindel)
Matt's Vote: I hope this isn't a big mistake... (Sindel)
Sindel's Vote: A pity you could not have lasted longer. (Matt)
Will's Vote: Sorry bud, but I know you are never going to be on my side, so it has to end. (Matt)
– – –
"If anybody has the hidden immunity idol and you would like to play it, now would be the time to do so."
Nobody did anything.
"Okay, 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, Sindel. (She raised an eyebrow.)
…
Farmer. One vote Farmer, one vote Sindel. (He had a bored expression on his face.)
…
…
Farmer. Two votes Farmer, one vote Sindel.
…
Farmer. Three votes Farmer, one vote Sindel. (Matt shook his head, looking at Will.)
…
…
Sindel. Two votes Sindel, three votes Farmer.
…
Sindel. Tied three votes Sindel, three votes Farmer. (Sindel wasn't too pleased.)
…
…
Farmer. Four votes Farmer, three votes Sindel. (Anise twiddled her thumbs.)
…
…
First person voted out of Survivor Blood vs. Water, Matt Farmer. That's five, and it's enough. You need to hand me your torch.
Matt sighed to himself, "Good game guys. I wish you luck." He gave them a small nod before giving his torch up.
"Farmer, the tribe has spoken."
He snuffed out his torch.
"But you will have a chance to get back in this game, grab your torch, and head off to Redemption Island. Good luck."
Matt nodded, grabbing his torch, and leaving the area with no more words.
"Congratulations, you all survived the first vote, but I know it won't be the last. After all, with Redemption Island in play, anything can happen, and who knows. Maybe Farmer will find himself back in the game? Grab your torches, and head on back. Good night."

Redemption Island Night 3
Matt arrived at the Redemption Island camp, seeing Ion and Lucian sitting around the fire.
"Make way for the third evictee!" laughed Matt, setting his torch to the side.
Ion shook Matt's hand, "It's unfortunate to see you here, Matt. But I'm glad Anise is safe."
"She went along with Will's plan," shrugged Matt, "He's definitely running the show right now."
Lucian brushed his hair aside, "What a pity. He has to go up against a tribe lead by Cynthia, and I know very well she's leading Tadhana to victory."
Matt and Ion ignored Lucian, and began to talk about random things.
"It's sad to be the first one out of the game, really. I wanted to go so far into this game! I was eighth place both times I played, and I come so close to the money, but it's just not in my favor now. Redemption Island is just another chance to prove myself." - Matt
