(Mano Tribe)

The Mano tribe went back to camp with mixed reactions. They all rested down their torches by the shelter before looking at each other.

"Well, that went well." Karen smiled. "For ME, anyway."

"Tonight, Bryan's plan actually worked. Peter was voted off instead of me." Karen smirked. "Not going to lose any sleep about it because I can't stand the abomination. One less freak to worry about."

The high-school student happily skipped off leaving the other seven contestants looking stunned. Schokolade then crossed her arms.

"What I want to know is." She said before speaking through gritted teeth. "What. Just. Happened."

"The plan was to vote off Karen in an unanimous vote. But no, instead four people were foolish enough to save her and boot out one of our stronger players." Schokolade said looking cross. "I know for a fact that Bryan was one of the traitors but I am going to find out here and now what happened."

"Karen was supposed to get eight votes but instead she got only four votes." The plastic woman said indignantly. "Anyone care to elaborate on why that is?"

"Well, don't look at me!" Red said waving his hands in front of his face. "I voted for Karen!"

"Same here..." Tigerlily said with a deadpan tone in her face.

Schokolade then looked at the others who haven't spoken up. Becky and Tom looked away while Franklin glared back at her. Bryan on the other hand simply smirked.

"What does it matter who voted for who? Peter's gone. Too bad. So sad." Bryan said. "But you know what's the amazing thing? Life goes on."

Schokolade silently growled at the man's arrogance.

"I am LOVING Schokolade's tantrum! Because for once, she wasn't the one in charge and because of that, she is completely livid." Bryan grinned. "Well, get used to it, toots because this tribe has a new leader and his name is Bryan!"

"Man, am I beat!" Bryan said. "Let's turn in."

"A wise choice of words." Franklin nodded.

Without another word, Bryan, Franklin, Becky and Tom went into the shelter leaving the remaining three people outside.

"So it seemed that those four were the ones responsible." Schokolade said narrowing her good eye.

"No duh, Schokolade." Red said rolling his eyes. "How you work that out, Miss Holmes?"

The one-eyed woman turned to the demon with a fierce glare. Red saw this and immediately returned the glare. The two people glared at each other. Then, Red scoffed before storming off. Schokolade was tempted to come after him but thought against it. She then turned around to talk with Tigerlily.

Only to find her walking off towards the beach.

Schokolade stood in place looking around at the remaining people of her tribe. She then shook her head in hopelessness cursing her luck with tribes.

Meanwhile, Tigerlily sat down in front of the beach with a depressed look on her face. She hugged her knees as tears slowly fell down her face.

"Peter... I am so sorry..."

"Peter went home tonight, which was stupid because he was a strong player and a hard worker." Tigerlily said wiping away some tears. "And to make things worse. I think it was MY fault he went home. If I wasn't so keen on voting off Karen and threw the Challenge, Peter would definitely gone further. He was too great a guy to get voted off this early."

(Day 7, Papi Tribe)

Tea watched as the Papi walked around doing chores. She couldn't help but be shocked at the unity the tribe that kidnapped her had.

"Okay, my tribe had lost Immunity and then the Papi tribe kidnapped me." Tea said before shrugging. "No biggie. Give me a chance to get away from some of the idiots of my tribe. Plus, Karen should definitely be out. I am SO jealous of how well everyone get along here."

The hybrid girl suddenly saw Stewart, Helen and Stinky walking over.

"Well, sweetie. How did you enjoy your rest here?" Helen asked.

The young child smiled. "It was wonderful, thank you. Your shelter is amazing."

Dormie giggled. "Thanks, but most of the credit should go to Vincent since he was the one designed the whole thing."

Tea blinked twice. "Vincent? Aka the anthro version of Prince Charming?"

"Yeah. I didn't expected someone like Vincent to know so well about the wilderness." Stinky shrugged.

"We had finally won a Challenge yesterday and we kidnapped Tea because she obviously looked like the weakest player. Helen and Stewart went over to talk to her to get to know her." Stinky mused. "Me? I came around because I am curious about how is going on at the other tribe. Are there any weaknesses we can exploit or potential people to kidnap?"

Tea let out a small sigh. "If only Karen was like that."

Stewart frowned at this. "Was she really that bad back at camp?"

"Horrible! She does no work around camp, mean to everyone and downright all-around useless!" Tea exclaimed.

"Sounds like a certain girl from last season." Stinky said with a raised eyebrow..

"Yeah, I don't know if I could find the patience to tolerate that girl." Helen said crossing her wings. "Don't worry, sweetie. If she is as bad as you say, she should be voted off."

Tea couldn't help but smile at this. "That's a given! Once she's gone, our camp's efficiency should improve by 25%!"

Stewart raised a confused eyebrow. "Only 25?"

Tea's smile vanished as she sighed again. "Unfortunately, Karen isn't the only problem I have at camp."

"Don't get me wrong, I never expected to be on a perfect tribe but half of the tribe are either crazy, stupid or just plain annoying." Tea groaned. "Bryan's an arrogant jerk, Schokolade's a sociopath, Red's an idiot that never accomplished anything in his life and Franklin... Well, I just don't think anyone who kept using the word "justice" in nearly every sentence should be treated seriously."

"I swear, I can't thank you guys enough for kidnapping me." The orange-clad girl groaned. "I swear, at least two of those guys fought each other every day since this game began!"

Helen frowned at this. "Poor child. Must be rough for you."

"That poor girl. I never realized how badly how problematic the tribe she is on was." Helen frowned. "If I was on a tribe like that, I would do my best to whoop them into shape."

Before anyone could say anything else, Vincent came walking up to them.

"Hey, everyone. We are all trying to make a fire. Wanna come join us?" The fox asked.

Tea smiled as she got up. "Sure, why not? I want to see how quickly you guys could start a fire so I could brag about it to Red when I get back."

The others nodded as they followed Vincent and Tea. Soon, they arrived at the fire pit where the rest of the tribe were watching Wally trying to make a fire with the flint.

"Keep at it, Wally." Greg said. "I think I just saw a spark!"

"Got it, mate!" The boxer said with a smirk.

"Ah decided ta take the responsibility of making the fire. They said that if ya are the one ta make a fire fer yer tribe, ya might go far in this game." Wally grinned. "Sure, that is just a Survivor superstition but hey, what do Ah got ta lose?"

The kangaroo continued to click the flint against the machete knowing that this was his big chance to appeal to the tribe.

"Whoa. Calm down, Wally." Stewart warned. "Getting your hand cut isn't worth fire."

"A jolly ray of sunshine as always, eh, Stu?" The young man muttered.

"No, seriously. At the rate you are doing it, you are going to hurt yourself." Stinky said crossing his arms. "And what good are you to us with only one hand?"

Helen looked at the skunk with a deadpan look on her face. "Your concern nearly brought a tear to my eye."

"Wally is a wildcard. Plain and simple. You don't know how kind of hare-brained antics he would pull." Stewart sighed. "Thankfully for him, I am a doctor but sometimes tells me that if he doesn't watch himself, he would need more than that."

"Sheesh, mates, mellow out!" Wally said as he continued to click the flint against the Machete. "Ah been doing this since Ah was in the Outback! This is no different!"

Stinky simply shrugged. "Meh. Your fingers."

Wally shook his head as he continued.

"Maybe you need more firewood." Vincent suggested putting down more branches.

"Good idea. The more wood in the fire pit, the better chance of the fire spreading." Wally said. He then smirked. "Hey, sheilas!"

"Um, yes?" Allison nervously replied.

"Let's make a deal. If Ah could make a fire, yer all have ta give me a hug!" Wally said with a smirk.

All of the girls immediately stepped back in either shock and/or disgust. Except for Dormie who simply shrugged.

"Okay. You do deserve it if you do make the fire, after all." The blonde dog said.

Amanda cast her an unimpressed glare. "Dormie, I think your version of a hug and Wally's version are completely different."

The boys simply shook their heads in hopelessness.

"Ugh... Honestly, can't you control your hormones for one day, Wally? It is obviously that he wants to get a little "friendly" with his hugs." Amanda groaned rolling her eyes. "You think about what he did to me a couple of days ago, he would had gone under the radar."

Hearing Dormie's agreement for a hug made Wally more determined than ever. Clicking the flint a few more times, he narrowed his eyes.

Suddenly, to everyone's surprise, a huge spark came from the friction and onto the wood resulted in a fire.

Wally smirked as he pumped the Machete in the air. "Heck yeah! All hail the fire king!"

"Well done, Wally!" Vincent smiled patting his friend on the back.

"Yes, most impressive." Stewart nodded as everyone else started to congratulate the boxer.

Amanda on the other hand frowned knowing that she actually had to HUG Wally. She had to find a way out of it. Suddenly, an idea popped into her mind. Walking over to Greg, she pulled on his jacket sleeve getting his attention and whispered in his ear.

Meanwhile, Wally dropped the flint and Machete. "All right, sheilas! Ah made fire! Now it is YER turn ta return the favour and give me BIG hugs all around!"

Some of the females looked hesitant at this. However, something happened that made everyone gone wide-eyed.

Greg literally came out of nowhere and wrapped his giant arms around Wally in a giant bearhug. He then lifted his tribemate off the ground and started to squeeze the life out of him.

"G-Greg..." Wally said running low on air. "W-What are ya doing, mate?"

"What does it look like I am doing?" The muscled man said simply. "I am giving you a big hug."

"Um, M-Mate, Ah actually was referring ta the sheilas?" Wally pointed out.

"Sorry but there aren't many people from my node that spoke Australian." Greg said. "What's a sheila?"

"A chick! A chick! A sheila is a chick!" Wally said now turning blue.

"Oh." Greg said. He then released his arms letting the poor kangaroo fall on the ground. Swirls replaced his eyes. Everyone blinked twice at this.

Stewart then broke the silence. "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

Greg let out a small sigh. "Amanda asked me literally at the last minute."

The beauty couldn't help but smirk as she put her hands on her hips. "Greg, I owe you big time for that!"

Helen blinked twice. "So shall we get the water?"

"Yeah. The sooner we boil it and quench our thirst, the better." Stinky nodded.

"Are you going to barbecue some fruit too?" Tea asked. "We did so at our camp."

"That's not a bad idea, actually!" Amanda smiled. "I'll get some fruit!"

"And I'll get the water!" Helen said walking off.

Everyone else started to talk happily about the now-blazing fire almost forgetting about the unconscious Wally. Except for Vincent who continued to look down at his friend before giving a small sigh.

"I am usually above things like that but in a way, Wally DID had it coming for being forward like that." Greg said with a shrug. "If one of the boys back home tried that to Olette, she would had smacked them."

Vincent sat in front of the camera. He then slapped his head. "Trying too hard, Wall. Trying too hard."

(Mano Tribe)

Bryan, Karen, Franklin, Becky and Tom were inside the shelter celebrating their victory over the "villains" last night.

"All hail to true justice!" Bryan said pumping his fist in the air.

"All hail!" Everyone else said doing the same thing.

"Last night couldn't had gone more better! We voted out an inter-galactic villain, put a monkey wrench in the works of an evil plot AND built an alliance of justice!" Franklin said with a grin. "This is EXACTLY one of the reasons I applied for Survivor!"

"We had defeated the evil that had threatened the entire competition and brought peace to the island!" The knight cheered.

Bryan chuckled a bit. "Not yet, Franklin. There are still two more villains to vote off."

Franklin's grin faltered. "Schokolade and Red."

Bryan nodded. "Their alliance is weakened but there are still a threat."

"So Schokolade is next because not only she is the weaker of the two but she is also the leader, right?" Becky asked.

"Really?" Bryan said. "I was thinking more of the lines of Tea."

Franklin, Becky and Tom looked shocked at this.

"What? But why? She is not with those villains!" Franklin said. "Why vote out a sweet, little girl when you could vote off somebody who is unfairly trying to hate the money?"

"Because if we do, we would had raised suspicion." Bryan said simply.

"These idiots are SO easy to fool. I can play them like a violin at a concert. All I have to act like is the goody-goody hero I am not to gain their full trust." Bryan said with a smirk. "Yeah. I want to get rid of the "villains" but I also want to make the tribe strong. Peter wasn't the strongest so we could afford to lose him but let's face it. Tea was the tribe's anchor the minute she was on our tribe."

"We already made them wary of us by voting out Peter. If we vote off Schokolade or Red the next time we go to Tribal Council, they will know we are on to them." The young man explained.

Franklin put his finger to his chin before nodding in thought. "Ah, I see. Any normal player would had been suspicious if one of the stronger players got blindsided like that."

"That's right. We have to act like we are playing the real game of Survivor." Bryan nodded. "We have to vote off the weakest player who isn't in our alliance and that's Tea."

"I see." Becky frowned not liking the thought of voting off an innocent girl.

"So what happens AFTER we vote her off?" Tom asked. "Do we go for Schokolade or Tigerlily?"

Bryan frowned as he rubbed his chin. "Hmm... God question. I guess we have to wait to see what the cards dealt us then."

Everyone nodded in agreement. However, Tom seemed a bit unsure.

"I honestly don't know if I should believe Bryan's story. His closest friend out here had became the target and he literally came a few minutes later telling us that we needed to band together. Including Karen." Tom said. "Sounds kinda fishy if you ask me. But then I realized something, if I joined them, I would actually be in an alliance. If everyone stays loyal to their word, I won't be targeted for a while which is good because I am one of the more weaker players."

After confirming their plan, Bryan and Karen decided to get some fruit.

"Bryan, your plan was simply lovely!" Karen smiled. "Playing the hero card to gain everyone's trust!"

The cop chuckled. "Thanks! Those suckers don't know what hit them!"

"Who are you referring to? The suckers that with us or against us?"

"Both."

The two shared a hearty laugh on this.

"Oh, and Karen?" Bryan said as the two stopped their walk.

"Hm?" The aristocrat asked.

"I know that you may not want to hear this but as long as we are in this alliance, I don't want you to talk badly to Franklin, Becky and Tom, okay?" Bryan instructed.

Karen simply sighed expecting this. "I might had figured."

Bryan then nervously scratched his head. "Yeah... Also you need to lay off Tigerlily and Tea too!"

Karen's eyes widened at this. "WHAT! Those freaks of nature! WHY! They are in the minority!"

"True but they are also "innocent by-standers". At least to the others, anyway." Bryan shrugged. "If you verbally harass either of them, it will put us "heroes" in a bad light."

Karen bit her lip not liking the options. However, she sighed in defeat.

"I suppose I could watch my tongue for a while." She said in defeat.

"Hey, don't sweat it. You can still whale on Schokolade and Red seeing that they deserved it for "going down the path of evil"." Bryan said with a smirk.

Karen giggled a little. "True."

"And think how good it would feel when we are both sitting in the finals together." Bryan grinned.

"Also true. The minority is going to have a fit." Karen smirked.

"And THAT'S if any of them made merge!" Bryan winked.

Again, the two laughed.

"I have low tolerance for commoners. Especially ones who have no right to live in society at all. But if it means going all the way to the end, I'll do it." Karen sighed. She then smirked. "Besides, I hate Schokolade and Red more anyway so I am all right with them being my only targets for a while."

Meanwhile, Schokolade sat on a log crossing her arms not happy with the results so far.

"This is NOT what I envisioned me doing on Day 7. I was NOT supposed to be blindsided on the first Tribal Council. I was NOT supposed to watch one of our stronger players get voted off." Schokolade said indignantly. "And I know, if those fools stay together, I could be in the minority. How am I supposed to explain this act of Survivor stupidity to my superiors?"

The tan-clad woman sighed as she shook her head trying to figure out a way around it. Suddenly, she noticed Tigerlily walking past her still upset that she lost Peter.

"Tigerlily." Schokolade said.

The tigress turned her head. "Hm?"

"As much as I hate to admit, I need your full cooperation." She said in defeat.

"Full cooperation?" Tigerlily asked walking over to the tan soldier.

"Yes, for some reason, the majority that voted off Peter are in an alliance." Schokolade explained. "How they are is beyond all rational thinking on my part. But they seemed concrete."

"But... It only been a week out here." Tigerlily pointed out. "Isn't it far too easy to form a steady alliance?"

"Not if you get a good idea on the people who want to align with." Schokolade explained. "But that is not the point. The point is we have a similar problem. We are in the minority."

Tigerlily frowned not liking that Bryan and Karen own the power of the tribe.

"If we want to avenge Peter and defeat those imbeciles, we need to focus on the same goal here." Schokolade said.

"But... We are in a 5-4 minority." Tigerlily pointed out.

"Perhaps but remember, kidnapping is in play." Schokolade explained. "Logically, the Papi tribe would kidnap Karen, Becky or Tom. Then, it will make it a tiebreaker."

"But to do so, we have to team up with Tea and Red." Tigerlily said.

"Tea, I have no quarrels teaming up with but I shudder at the thought of aligning with Red." Schokolade said shaking her head.

Tigerlily blinked twice before walking over to the log Schokolade was sitting on and sat down next to her.

"I don't think we have much a choice at the moment." The feline explained. "If our best chance is a tiebreaker, we need four secure votes."

Schokolade raised her eyebrow. "So does that means I could count on you?"

Tigerlily simply gave a mischievous smirk. "Yes. Let's show those schmucks they are not the king of this tribe!"

Schokolade nodded as she gave a small smirk.

"I threw the Challenge thinking it would benefit the tribe but instead, I hurt it. Especially my best friend out here." Tigerlily said looking regretful. "This is a major wake-up call for me. I shouldn't make selfish decisions on my own. I should think of the tribe and make decisions with them. If I want to avenge Peter, heck, actually manage to survive these next few days. I need to be a team player."

(Day 8, Papi Tribe)

Allison and Dormie decided that she should check to see if they got treemail so she walked over to where the treemail box was. The former one then pulled out a letter.

"Ooh, Challenge time! What Challenge do you think we will do this time?" Dormie asked excitedly.

"Hopefully, not a physical one." Allison said shaking her head. "Come on. Let's go back to camp."

With that, the two anthro girls made their way back to the others.

"Hey, everybody!" Dormie shouted as the top of her lungs. "We got treemail!"

This caught everyone's attention as they gathered around.

"Well, what does it say?" Stinky asked crossing his arms.

"It says... How good are you at navigating?" Allison read.

Stewart raised an eyebrow. "Doesn't give us much to assume."

"Hey, it doesn't sound like a physical one and that's good enough for me!" Tea said stretching out her palms.

Wally grinned as he put an arm around Vincent's shoulder. "Well, better watch out, little lady, we got a master navigator right here!"

The fox chuckled. "I appreciate the support but for all we know, the Challenge could be entirely different from map-reading."

"Navigating? Sure, I may be not much of a map-reader but compare to physical Challenges..." Helen said before laughing heartily.

"In the last three Challengers, I had shown capability as a team player but not as a solo one." Tea said crossing her arms. "Perhaps this may be my time to shine."

(Reward Challenge)

The Papi tribe walked onto the mat with Tea strolling alongside them.

"All right, Tea may rejoin her tribe." Tiny said.

"K. See you guys on the flip side." Tea smiled before skipping back to her mat.

"We now bring in the Mano tribe." Tiny said as the opposing tribe walked in. "Peter voted off at the last Tribal Council."

Tea along with the entire Papi tribe looked shocked at this.

"WHAT? Are you guys insane?" Tea asked in disbelief.

"Half of the tribe is, anyway." Schokolade said rolling her good eye.

"How did Peter got voted off?" Allison asked in shock. "Not only was he one of the stronger players of the tribe but he was also quite nice too."

"I somewhat suspect a Zoro-esque scheme going on." Vincent said crossing his arms in thought.

"Hmm... The vote-off stirred up a lot of questions here." Tiny said. "Anyway, let's go to our next Reward Challenge. Take a look."

Two tribes then noticed two big mazes in the area. However, they were the only objects around.

"The Challenge is simple but not easy. One at a time, you all have to navigate around this maze. When one person reaches the other side, the next person may now go." Tiny explained. "Basically, this continues until one tribe had all of their members past the maze. That tribe will win Reward."

Everyone looked at each other with mixed reactions at this kind of Challenge.

"The Reward you will be playing for is pillows and blankets." Tiny explained. "Definitely going to keep you warm through the freezing cold nights."

A few people's eyes sparkled at this.

"Now, I will give you all a minute to figure out the order." Tiny explained. "Then, we will begin."

Everyone wasted no time trying to figure out an order. Soon, they chose their first place to get ready to run into the maze. Schokolade for Mano and Vincent for Papi.

"All right, for pillows and blankets, Survivors ready!" Tiny announced. "Go!"

Both leaders wasted no time rushing into the mazes with their respective tribes cheering them off. Though nobody could tell, they both seemed to be doing quite well.

"This is child's play." Schokolade commented quietly. "I did training for mazes bigger than these."

The soldier's confidence was not misplaced as she came out of the maze long before Vincent.

"All right. I am out! The next player may now go." She shouted.

Tea nodded as she darted her way in. With a confident smirk, she started to make her around the maze. As she did so, Vincent ran out.

"All right! I am out of the maze! Stewart, go!" The fox shouted.

The doctor meekly nodded before jogging into the maze. While he wasn't that good of a runner, his intelligence should hopefully make up for. Everyone waited patiently as the two of them tried to manoeuvred throughout the maze.

Soon, Tea ran out with a smirk. "Record time! Now go for it!"

Tigerlily wasted no time running into the maze. Taking a deep, she ran down a path hoping it was the right one. Meanwhile, Stewart had finally made it out.

"Now..." He said putting his hands on his knees. "You may now go."

"Good. We are behind." Stinky muttered before darting his way inside the maze.

The skunk had proven to be a much better maze navigator as she managed to catch with Tigerlily.

Tigerlily ran out of the maze. "Done!"

Much to her surprise, though. So had Stinky. "Same here!"

Bryan and Helen both nodded as they ran headfirst into the maze. They both went at a steady pace though Bryan was a little faster due to him being more fitter and younger. He had proven this by coming out before the owl.

"All right! I am out! In other words, the next guy BETTER not blow our lead!" Bryan snapped.

Red growled as he ran in. "Watch it!"

Suddenly, the demon learned the hard way that the maze looked more complex it looked. For him, anyway. He already got lost in the maze. Soon, Helen ran out of the maze.

"All right! I am out!" Helen said between pants. "Go for it!"

Amanda narrowed her eyes before going straight in. Meanwhile, Red was still wondering around the maze frustrated.

"Where is the exit? Where is the exit?" He growled.

Soon, Amanda ran out of the maze. "Okay, I am out."

The Mano looked in disbelief as Greg ran inside.

"Come on, you overgrown goat!" Bryan shouted angrily. "We had a lead and you blew it!"

"Don't rush me!" Red growled. "I never was good with mazes!"

Suddenly, he noticed a doorway. "Freedom! All right! The next one may now go!"

Then, he noticed something. Karen, Franklin, Becky and Tom looked quite unimpressed.

"Um, what are you guys doing here?" Red asked not liking where this was going.

"YOU. ARE. AN. IMBECIBLE!" Karen shouted at the top of her lungs.

Red winced as he ran back inside blushing at the fact he just made himself look like a tool. Soon, Greg ran out.

"I am out!" The giant yelled.

Allison nodded her head as she ran inside.

"Go for it, Allie!" Dormie shouted.

Bryan crossed his arms with a scowl. "That loser. He is quite a muscle-bound demonic version of Gumshoe."

The two people continued to manoeuvre their way through the maze for a while. However, it was only a matter of time till one of them came out.

"I am out!" Red shouted.

"About time!" Bryan snapped as Franklin ran in from the other side.

"Hang in there, Sheila!" Wally shouted.

"Yes, you can do it!" Dormie cheered.

Unfortunately for the Papi tribe, Franklin made his way through the maze at an alarming rate.

"Success! I am out!" The knight beamed.

Becky happily nodded before coming in.

Stinky cupped his hands to his mouth. "Come on, girl! They are closing the gap!"

"Try to memorize the paths!" Stewart yelled.

"I would if I didn't kept tripping when I go around a corner!" Allison shouted.

Stinky's ears drooped. "Are you saying the reason you been taking so long was because you were tripping?"

Meanwhile, Becky ran out. "I am done!"

Karen nodded before she ran in trying not to trip over her dress. Meanwhile, Allison had finally managed to come out.

"All right." She panted. "I am done."

"Finally!" Stinky said as Dormie ran in.

While Dormie went at a faster pace than Karen, the latter already had a big lead. In fact, she managed to make it through the maze first.

"I am done!" Karen shouted. "Tom, make with the haste!"

The producer jumped before rushing inside knowing that the remainder of the match counted on him. However, after a few seconds of running inside, Dormie ran out.

"I am out!" Dormie nodded. "Wally, go for it!"

"Way ahead of yer!" Wally shouted before rushing in.

Both tribes watched in fear knowing that the entire Challenge counted on whoever came out of the maze first. All they could do was hope. Then, a man came out of the mazes.

Tom put his hands on his knees panting heavily.

"TOM IS OUT! MANO WINS IMMUNITY!"

The Mano tribe cheered at their success as the Papi tribe looked absolutely disappointed. Some of than others.

(Later)

"Good work, Mano! You won the Reward." Tiny said as he gave Tom the pillows and blankets. He then turned to Papi. "As for the rest of you, I got nothing for you. You may head back to camp.

(Mano Tribe)

"We just won Reward tonight! This is so cool! We are on a winning tribe, we are made of an alliance to foil an evil plot and I am in the majority despite being one of the physically weaker members of the tribe." Becky smiled. "This is everything I could hope for on Survivor and more!"

As Bryan's alliance proceeded to adjust the blankets and pillows to the shelter, Tea dragging Schokolade, Tigerlily and Red away not looking pleased.

"Do you guys have any idea how Karen managed to survive let alone over one of our stronger players?" The child asked in disbelief.

"That's what I want to know!" Red said crossing his arms.

"Now that we had finally brought Tea and Red together, we can discuss on our new alliance. As much as I dislike the latter, I know that we need his vote in hopes of survival." Schokolade said. "And I also need to make sure that he is with us as well."

The soldier sighed as she shook her head. "All I could gather was that Bryan had managed to manipulated Franklin, Becky and Tom into keeping Karen. Why? I still have no idea. However, I DO know that they are now a concrete alliance."

Tea's eyes widened in horror. "Are you serious? You mean that punk, Bryan and that hussy, Karen are in the majority?"

"And the ones in power." Tigerlily lamented.

"You mean the ones calling the shots are them!" Red said in disbelief.

"Everyone, calm down." Tigerlily said. "There is a chance we can get through this. Logically, the next person to get kidnapped would be one in the majority right?"

"Yeah. I already been kidnapped so logically they could kidnap Karen, Becky and Tom." Tea nodded.

"Exactly. In that situation, it would be a tiebreaker." Schokolade nodded.

She then looked up at Red.

"…However, I require the full cooperation out of all four of us." The one-eyed woman said.

"What? You want to take orders from you?" Red growled as he crossed his arms. "No way, Jose!"

Schokolade blinked her good eye twice. "Very well. Don't vote with us. Then, Bryan would be in power for the majority in the game."

Red's eyes widened in horror. To have someone like Bryan calling the shots for a while would be lost than death.

"Red, please." Tigerlily begged. "I know we all don't see eye-to-eye but we need to stick together if we all want to at least survive."

The demon bit his lip pondering the possibilities. However, he gave in with a deep sigh of defeat.

"All right, you win. I'll join ya." Red agreed. "But you better not boss me around."

"Ugh… I can't believe I am actually agreeing to align myself with a bunch of girls! Still, it was either that and be at the mercy of Bryan." Red sighed. "That is more torture than you could ever go through in Hades."

Schokolade looked down at Tea. "What about you? Can I count on your vote?"

"Of course! I am probably their next target, anyway so it would be suicidal for me to refuse." The hybrid shrugged.

Schokolade smirked as she nodded her head. "Very well. Then, it is hopefully 4-VS-4."

"When I first saw my tribe bickering at each other like chickens, I thought that this could give me an easy ride for a while. Serves me right but thinking so cockily." Tea sighed before looking determined.. "At least I am in a counter alliance now but I am . It is time to show them that I am even though I am a kid, I am NOT a pushover!"

(Papi Tribe)

A cry of anguish echoed throughout the camp. Everyone watched as a disgruntled Stinky paced back and forth around camp.

"We had it! We actually had it!" Stinky shouted. "How did we lose! The other tribe has a little girl, a girl scout and someone who looked like she never been outside of her mansion before!"

"Perhaps the other tribe was more determined." Vincent shrugged.

Stinky stopped pacing to glare at the fox. "More determined? More determined? Since when being determined helped you navigated through mazes?"

"We were in the lead! That stupid demon goofed up and practically could had given us an easy victory!" Stinky said holding his head. "But nooo! Someone just HAD to screw it up and ruin it for the rest of us!"

"I swear! Am I only one upset that we lost!" The skunk growled.

"Not much as you, anyway." Amanda said crossing her arms.

"I must admit that I understand Stinky's frustration but he is taking this way too hard." Stewart said. "If we threw a tantrum like that every time we lost a Challenge, there will be a lot of tension in the tribe."

Stinky then glared daggers at Allison. "YOU!"

The alligator shrank back as Stinky stomped over to her.

"This is your fault! We got a big lead over the tribe and you completely blew it for tripping over your own feet!" Stinky snapped.

"I-I didn't mean too. I was just born like that!" Allison said in her defence.

"It is not just this Challenge! We put you on the runners in the very first Challenge because we had high hopes for you and instead you let us all down!" Stinky scolded. "Do you know that if Tiny was more original and actually taken out that kidnapping stint, you would had been voted out unanimously?"

Allison winced at his words as she looked down. "Sorry."

"Sorry doesn't win Challenges! I swear you sucked at every Challenge so far!" Stinky scolded.

"Hey! That is more than enough!" Helen scolded.

Stinky turned to the aging woman. "No, it is not! Not only did she cost us the Challenge but she did it by also messing up a perfectly good lead! I want to show how disappointed in her we are!"

Around this time, tears started to go down Allison's face.

"Seriously, Stinky! That is enough!" Vincent said looking surprisingly angry. "Blaming Allison won't win us any Challenges!"

"Well, it makes ME feel better!" Stinky snapped before turning back at Allison. "Now you listen here!"

Amanda gritted her teeth as he clenched her fists. "Why that no-good, smelly piece of compost heap! Why, I gotta…"

She was about to get up and stomp over to Stinky until she noticed someone had already beat her to it.

"…And another thing." Stinky said still not done with his assault.

"All right."

Stinky paused before looking up at Greg who had his arms crossed.

"Helen and Vincent are right. That is more than enough." Greg said.

"…Hey, she was the one who…" Stinky started. However, what happened next surprised everyone.

Greg grabbed Stinky by his collar and pulled him to his face glaring the skunk deep into his eyes as if he was trying to make him explode with his glare.

"That WASN'T a request. Vincent and Helen made it perfectly clear. That is far out-of-line. If you want to yell at something, yell at a rock or at least something that doesn't has feelings." Greg growled. "SO. BACK. OFF."

With that, he prompted dropped the stunned mechanic on the ground. Stinky sat up looked at the angry giant in pure horror. After back-pedalling a few feet, he got up and ran over leaving everyone stunned.

"Okay, it is official. Ah do NOT want ta make Greg angry in any way!" Wally said in awe. "Seriously, Stinky did NOT see that coming! Nor they any of us!"

Greg then turned to Allison with a concerned look on his face. "Hey, are you all right?"

"Y-Yes… I am." The alligator said wiping away her tears.

"No, you are not." Helen said crossing her arms.

"I-It's all right… He's right…" Allison frowned. "I WAS the one who ruining your chances to win Challenges. I was horrible at every single one!"

Suddenly, Dormie hug her from behind.

"Don't say that…" She said concerned.

"But… It's true…" Allison lamented. "I let you guys down…"

Greg crossed his arms. "Even still, blaming you will not change anything. Stinky is just looking for someone to take his anger out on…"

"There, there…" Dormie said. "Don't cry…"

Greg looked in sympathy at the scene. He then turned to the direction Stinky scurried off to and narrowed his eyes.

"If it's one thing I can't stand is bullies. People who throw away their own weight against people who are just more younger or smaller than them." Greg said indignantly. "Granted, Stinky is two years younger than Allison but that is no excuse. He knows that she is a shy, insecure girl and yet he still verbally assaulted her like that. That kid had dug himself his own grave."

(Day 9, Mano Tribe)

Everyone woke up and gone off to do their own thing. Except for Karen was still sleeping in the shelter. She slowly woke up and sat up yawning. Bryan saw this and walked over with a chuckle.

"Morning, princess." Bryan grinned. "I assumed that your rest had been improved since these last few days."

"Yes, I am still not fond of the whole sleeping on the ground thing but yes, it definitely improved." Karen nodded. She then frowned. "Too bad I have to share it with a snoring Red."

"Ugh… Don't remind me." Bryan said rolling his eyes. "If strength wasn't the only thing he good at, I would had voted him off."

"I must admit, these last few days are going along a lot better since Day 1. That's because I have someone to tell all of my problems too." Karen said. "It helps that Schokolade and Red is in the minority pacing around like the caged animals that they deserved to be. Still…"

"I just don't get it." The yellow-clad girl said following Bryan.

"What is, Kare?" Bryan asked with a raised eyebrow.

"In my node, I am the daughter of one of the most largest companies there." The high-school student said. "My popularity is only overshadowed by Tamaki Suoh and Kyouya Ootori. And yet…"

"You are wondering how come it is all topsy-turvy here." Bryan said.

"Yes! I know that I am from another node but I thought that somebody here would respect my status and asked if they could at least stand with me but instead I get ignored and insulted." Karen said.

"Well, that's because you are outside of your home node." Bryan sighed. "You can't call your lawyers to sue them no matter how powerful your father is."

"Even still… This is very distressing." Karen said slumping her head.

"Hey, there is nothing wrong with having other people doing your dirty work for you but first you have to convince those said people by yourself first." Bryan explained.

"Come again?" Karen asked confused.

"I think I am the best example for you." Bryan said. "Now see here. I got Franklin, Becky and Tom wrapped around my finger, right?"

"Right?" Karen asked.

"Well, I actually have to do that by manipulating them." Bryan said. "I actually had to BEG them. You can't realize how nauseating that was!"

"I could only imagine." Karen said shaking her head.

"Anyway, the thing is sometimes to get people to do what you want, you have to get dirty sometimes." Bryan said before smirking. "And don't worry, that is just a figure of speech."

Karen giggled at this.

"In life, there is no chance of getting your dreams by hard work and determination. That is for losers! You have to manipulate people into helping you with your dreams until you are at the top." Bryan said with a smirk. "I mean wishing on a shooting star for strength to carry out your dream? Pfft, that is for little children whose parents spoiled them."

"Guys, we got treemail!" Becky's voice shouted.

Everyone immediately gave their way over to the green-clad girl.

"Glorious! What does the letter say, Becky?" Franklin said with a grin.

"It says… "How well is your teamwork"?" The girl read.

Everyone immediately paused before looking at each other.

"There is no way to look at this with rainbows." Tea said flatly. "We are screwed."

(Immunity Challenge)

Both tribes walked onto their respective mats ready for the Challenge. Tiny then noticed that they both looked a little nervous but then shrugged it off.

"Are you ready for your next Challenge?" Tiny asked. "Look."

Everyone then noticed that two series of obstacles in the Challenge area.

"Here is your next Challenge. When I go, one member will pull on a sled with another member on it through a series of obstacles that the others will open for you. Four tribe members will each push in a large block into a slot releasing the bars that is holding the way. However, some are bigger and heavier than others. Then, the two members will open a pair of giant sliding doors allowing access. Once the sled reaches the final door, the last member will work on the keys on the lock to open the door." Tiny explained. "Whichever tribe's sled make it across the finish line first wins Immunity and will be safe from tonight's vote."

Everyone looked at each other knowing that this would require a lot of strategy.

"All right. You can now discuss the order." Tiny said.

This resulted in a lot of discussion from both tribes. However, they soon eventually agreed on a compromise on the order. Franklin was pulling the sled with Tea on it for Greg was pulling the sled with Stewart on it for Papi.

"All right, for Immunity." Tiny said. "Survivors, ready. Go!"

Both men ran off with a good start. However, due to Franklin being more agile and carrying a much more lighter passenger, he slowly got a lead. It was only a matter of time before they reached the first obstacle.

"All right, comrades." Franklin said. "Go for it!"

Schokolade, Tigerlily, Tom and Becky slowly started to push in the blocks in that order. However, they soon realized how heavy they were as they had a little difficulty trying to push it in.

Greg had reached his obstacle.

"All right. Now it is our turn!" Vincent announced as he, Dormie, Stinky and Allison started to push in the blocks.

"Everyone, continue pushing." Schokolade said.

"What about you, Schokolade?" Tigerlily asked. "You got the heaviest one."

"Perhaps but I still think I can push it in." The tan-clad woman reassured.

Becky then pushed her block into her slot before rushing over to Schokolade and helping with her giant block making the military woman raised an eyebrow.

"I know that this is the largest to push in so I knew that you need all the help you could get." Becky said without making eye contact.

Schokolade nodded. "Well, at least you are mature enough to put away your differences for Challenges."

Allison who just pushed in her block saw this and decided to do the same with Vincent.

"Both teams are doing good so far." Tiny mused.

Soon, all of the Papi members managed to push their blocks in much quicker releasing the bars blocking access.

"Well done, everyone!" Stewart smiled as Greg ran off.

"Wow…" Dormie said to Vincent and Allison. "You guys did that fast."

Allison shrugged. "I guess Vincent is more stronger than he looks."

The fox turned to the alligator with a raised eyebrow. As he did so, the Mano tribe had finally put the blocks into the slots.

"Hurry! We are behind!" Tigerlily shouted.

Franklin nodded his head as he ran through the path after the bars opened up. However, Greg was already at the doors where Wally and Amanda was waiting.

"Guys, now!" Greg shouted.

Wally and Amanda nodded as they started to push on each of the doors.

"Man, these things lay a ton!" Wally wheezed.

Franklin just managed to make to the second obstacle where Red and Bryan was impatiently waiting.

"About time!" Red growled as he and Bryan started to push on the doors.

Seeing that Red was obviously more physically stronger than the others, he was going at a fast pace. However, Amanda had managed to completely open her door first before running over to Wally.

"Yo, thank ya, Amanda!" Wally grinned.

"Save it. I am doing this for the tribe." Amanda scolded making the kangaroo's ears droop.

Soon, Red finished with the door and ran over to help Bryan with the door.

"So, who is a loser now?" Red asked with a smirk.

"Still you." Bryan said flatly. "Muscle is the only thing you got over me."

Red's smirk faded as he snorted out steam. Despite the bickering duos on both sides, they both managed to open the doors at the nearly the same time.

"All right! Yer are through!" Wally shouted.

"Better get the lead out!" Red yelled.

Greg and Franklin both nodded knowing that this was it. One final obstacle before a rush to the finish line. Once they both arrived at the last door. Karen and Helen wasted no time fiddling with the key on the lock.

"Wow… This is really coming down to the wire." Stewart mused.

Greg nodded. "Whoever opens the door first may make or break us."

However, they noticed the ladies were having difficulty with the locks.

"Ugh… Are locks in the commoner's world always this hard to unlock?" Karen grunted in frustration.

"This thing is as stiff as a rock." Helen frowned.

"I do hope Karen will be able to open the lock in time." Franklin mused.

"Even SHE can't mess this up." Tea shrugged.

Everyone crossed their fingers hoping for the best. Suddenly, they heard a long clanging noise. Everyone looked to see a female pushing the door open after a lock had landed on the ground. Seeing his chance, the sled-puller nodded his head before running off.

The other female also finished her lock and quickly started to open the door but it was too late. The other tribe had too much of a lead on them so all they could do was watch as they cross the finish line.

"MANO WINS IMMUNITY!"

The Mano tribe started to cheer over their victory while the Papi looked devastated. Stinky couldn't take it anymore. He let out a large cry of anguish.

(Later)

"Congratulations of your win, Mano! It was very close." Tiny said. "Now before you go, you have to kidnap somebody. Remember, you cannot kidnap the same person twice so you can't kidnap Allison again."

"Stinky." Schokolade said simply causing a lot of surprise from her tribe.

The mechanic grumbled under his breath not aware that most of his tribe-mates looked furious.

"All right, Stinky will rejoin his tribe at the next Reward Challenge but until then, he will stay with you." Tiny said before turning to the Papi tribe. "As for the rest of you, you will be seeing me at Tribal Council where one of you WILL be going home. You may head back to camp.

(Papi Tribe)

Amanda cried in frustration after she and her tribe returned to camp.

"WHY did Schokolade kidnapped Stinky?" The nurse asked. "He would had been voted out unanimously if he was here!"

"Aye. That was messed up." Wally said crossing his arms. "Not only was he a jerk but he wasn't THAT weak to get kidnapped."

"Ever since Stinky's blow-up on Allison yesterday, it was unofficially declared that Stinky was the next one to go." Amanda said indignantly. "However, Schokolade kidnapped him for some reason. WHY? Does she KNOW that we hate her with a passion? That is the reason I could think of."

"Ah mean this is the second time that kidnapping stint save us from an unanimous vote." Wally snapped.

Allison winced as everyone glared at the boxer. Wally soon realized his slip of the tongue.

"Okay, serious. Were you born stupid or is that what all boxers are like?" Amanda said coldly.

"Oy, oy…" Wally said looking down to the ground.

"Well, at least we are all in agreement." Helen said crossing her arms. "That little stinker is gone next right."

"Agreed." Greg nodded his head. "I admit I had my doubts but now I am convinced. We should had kept Caroline over him."

Amanda couldn't help but smirk when hearing those lines.

"Well, at least one good thing came out of that runt's tantrum. It should exactly how much of a dislikeable punk he was and how much they were hurting by keeping him." Amanda said with a grin. "At least we would at least be away from his stench before finally getting rid of him once and for all."

Soon, everyone went their separated ways with Vincent and Wally together.

"Dang! Ah am almost tempted ta keep Allie just ta spite Stinky!" Wally said before sighing. "But Ah am afraid that her leaving is inevitable now."

Vincent merely put his finger to his mouth. "Maybe… Maybe not."

Wally turned to his friend with a raised eyebrow. "What are yer talking about, mate?

"Well, I been thinking." Vincent said. "When I was pushing my block into the slot, Allison came to help me. Suddenly, I was able to move the block better."

Wally raised an eyebrow. "Maybe yer just happened ta have some hidden strength within yer."

"There was hidden strength somewhere at that Challenge." Vincent said crossing his arms.

"I don't care how much Allison denies otherwise, the second she came to help me, I was able to move that block a lot easier. There was no mere coincidence." Vincent said. "I think Allison is much more stronger than her frail appearance suggests. And I doubt even she knows this."

Meanwhile, Dormie and Allison sat under a palm tree. The latter looked depressed.

"Well, I guess that this is it." Allison sighed. "I am going!"

"Don't say that!" Dormie said. "Nothing is certain until the votes at Tribal Council had been read!"

"But it is true. I messed up too much at the Reward." Allison said hugging her knees. "They probably plotting to write my name now as we speak."

"I don't want my friend to leave this soon. Especially not like this." Dormie frowned. "If she leaves this game after what happened to her recently, she could be scarred for life."

"Listen, we have to get at least three votes with us to keep you here." The cheerful girl said surprisingly serious.

"But HOW can we convince three people to keep me?" Allison asked.

"I think we could help."

Dormie and Allison's eyes widened to find Vincent and Wally walking over to them.

"What do you mean?" Dormie asked tilting her head.

"Just as I said." Vincent said with a smirk. "We may be able to persuade the others to keep you. Us included."

Dormie and Allison's eyes widened at this.

"Really?" Dormie asked surprised.

"N-No lie?" Allison said just as stunned.

"But of course. What do we have anything to gain by lying to you?" Vincent chuckled.

Allison's jaw dropped upon hearing this. She could not believe her non-existent ears. Dormie on the other hand was a little bit more animated with her reaction.

She quickly got up and lunged at Vincent knocking him over on the ground.

"Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Dormie said wrapping her arms around Vincent's neck.

"D-D-Dormie, please!" The fox begged as he slowly sat up.

Wally grumbled as he crossed his arms. "Lucky bugger."

It actually took a few minutes but Vincent, Wally and Allison had finally managed to get Dormie to calm down and release Vincent. The aristocrat rubbed his neck.

"I am SO pleased that you would do this for us!" Dormie smiled wagging her tail with sparkling eyes.

"Yes, I noticed." Vincent chuckled.

"Um, who are we targeting?" Allison asked.

"We agreed on Stewart." Wally nodded.

"I see." Allison nodded. "Um, thank you."

"No problem." Vincent said with a smile. "Now leave the others to be us. I am sure we can persuade them."

"Hey, so just chill out, sheilas!" Wally grinned as the two men walked off.

Dormie grabbed Allison's hand and shook it happily. "Isn't it awesome, Allison? You get to stay here for longer!"

"Y-Yes…" The alligator said looked to the side.

"I… owe Vincent a whole lot for coming to my rescue like that. I thought for sure everyone but Dormie would vote for me but no…" Allison said with a blush. "I am still here because of him. He is just like the dashing hero from some of my detective novels."

Vincent and Wally then relayed the message to Greg, Amanda and Helen.

"Seriously?" Amanda asked surprised.

"Yes, I think we should keep Allison and vote off Stewart." Vincent nodded.

"But why?" Amanda asked with a raised eyebrow. "Not to say I didn't felt sorry for Allison for what happened to her yesterday but she is too much of a liability to keep."

"Really? I was thinking quite the opposite actually." Vincent said rubbing his chin. "I think Allison is a bigger asset than we gave her credit for."

Greg raised an eyebrow at this. "Come again?"

"Trust me. I think I know what I am talking about." Vincent nodded. "So what do you think?"

Greg, Amanda and Helen all looked at each other.

"Hmm… I think it is a good idea, actually." Greg nodded. "Stewart is not that strong either."

"And to be fair, I kinda wanna keep Allison just to show him his way is not always right." Amanda said with a smirk.

"Please. Just consider me my theory for a moment." Vincent said. "I am sure that Allison is a bigger asset that everyone thinks. The Challenges she had put in had not been benefiting her, that's all."

"All right, boys. We will think about it." Helen nodded.

"Ace! Thanks!" Wally grinned. "Come see us when you came to a decision!"

With that, the two men walked off. However as they did so, Helen narrowed her large eyes.

"So Vincent and Wally just walked up to me and practically asked me to vote off my best friend out here. And I was like "No way, Jose!"!" Helen said looking determined. "I want to take Stewart as far as me as possible. Us old folk has to stick together otherwise the youngsters will walk all over us! Sorry, Allison. Don't think I am doing this for Stinky's sake."

The owl looked at the two humans beside her. "Guys, I don't think we should go along with this."

"Really?" Greg asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Of course. Vincent is just letting the emotions get the better of him." Helen said. "The only reason he said that Allison is a bigger asset than he looks was because he is still mad at Stinky for what he said to Allison."

Greg crossed his arms. "Aren't we all?"

"Even still, we have to remember that we lost four out of five Challenges." Helen said. "I know I shouldn't point fingers after what that runt said to her but she was the reason we lost two of them."

"Yeah but Vincent doesn't seem the type to lie." Amanda pointed out. "Or the type to put his emotions before the tribe."

"Yeah and what if Vincent is right? What if he saw something in Allison the rest of us didn't?" Greg asked.

Helen shook her head. "No offence to the dearie but it sounds like an excuse made up at the last minute if you ask me."

The humans looked at each other wondering if she was right.

"Look, even if you voted with me, it would still be a tiebreaker." Helen pointed out before walking off. "If you have any doubts, at least vote with me to see if I am wrong or not."

Amanda and Greg watched the overweight woman walked off before turning to each other with wide eyes.

"Wow… This is totally sudden but Amanda and I are now the swing votes here." Greg said in awe. "Should we vote with the young anthros and vote off Stewart or do we take Helen on her offer and force a tiebreaker to see which one is the bigger asset? Who could be a greater asset to our tribe?"

Helen walked over to Stewart who was sitting in the shelter.

"Hey, Stewart! How are your fire-making skills coming?" Helen asked.

The doctor raised an eyebrow at this. "Um… Coming along nicely. I made my first fire today. Why?"

"I think you are going to need them." Helen said narrowing her eyes.

Stewart's eyes widened at this. "What? Why?"

Helen sighed as she shook her head. "The younger anthros want to vote you off instead of Allison."

Stewart hang his head. "Was… I really that much of a liability to the tribe?"

"Of course not!" Helen scolded. "In fact, I managed to talk to Amanda and Greg and try to convince them otherwise. I think you may be in for a tiebreaker."

"Wow… I actually thought that the target would be Allison no question asked. That serves me right for being cocky." Stewart said with a sigh. "Now I have to fight for my right to stay in the game. Thankfully, my would-be opponent isn't that much of a threat but I dunno. We'll see."

(Tribal Council)

The eight Papi members went over to Tribal Council with their burning torches except for Allison. After seeing a lone torch, she grabbed it and put it in the fire igniting. Tiny nodded at this.

"Welcome to Tribal Council, Papi Tribe." He said. "Have a seat."

Everyone did what they were told.

"Vincent, it seems that you keep losing Challenges? This has to be horrible for you." Tiny asked.

"It is. Winning only one Challenge out of five is not a good morale booster." The young man frowned. "But we just can't sit around moping over it. After all, while the other tribe has more stronger players, they also has their share of weaker ones. There is still hope."

"Greg, do you agree with this?" Tiny asked.

"Yes, I do. Things look bleak for us but it is just going to continue to be bleak if we don't shape up our attitudes." The strongman said before narrowing his eyes. "AND working as a team."

"You seemed cross when you said that." Tiny said with a raised eyebrow. "Any particular reason?"

"Yesterday after losing the Reward, Stinky verbally assaulted Allison blaming her for loss and resorting to a lot of low blows." Greg said sounding vex. "I had to intimidate him to get him to back off."

"Allison, is this true?" Tiny asked.

"Y-Yes… But in a way… He is right." The timid girl sighed. "We had a perfectly good lead and my clumsiness kept going in the way. He had every right to be mad at me."

"That still doesn't give him the right to yell at yer like that, Al." Wally countered. "That was uncalled for."

"Helen, how would you base your vote if Stinky was here?" Tiny asked.

The owl narrowed her eyes. "I would base my vote on one of the most saddest excuses for a mammal I had ever seen. Unfortunately, Schokolade somehow wised up on this and kidnapped him."

"Stewart, do you feel nervous tonight?" Tiny asked.

"Um, well, to be fair, I got nervous the minute walked onto the dock. I was always a worry-wart." The older man sighed. "Still, I still think I have more potential than people give me credit for."

"Wally, do you agree with this?" Tiny asked.

"Well, yeah. In a way everyone has a little something in them that you don't see at first glance." The boxer said. "Little Mac is probably the best example of that."

"Amanda, if I am not mistaken. You were the only one who didn't voted with the tribe at the last Tribal Council." Tiny pointed out. "Do you feel nervous because of that?"

"I was at first but Vincent reassured that they won't be targeting me for a while." The nurse said with a sigh. "Man was I relieved."

"Why?" Dormie asked confused. "You are one of our stronger members."

"Even still, I did went against the tribe's decision." Amanda explained. "Even now if I didn't agreed with your decision to vote off my friend, I shouldn't had acted alone against it. I was happy to protect my friend but I shouldn't done so in a reckless manner."

Helen and Stewart's eyes widened at this.

"If this should be an interesting vote." Tiny said. "All right, let's get to it. Allison, you are up."

The teenaged girl nodded as she walked into the voting area for the first time looking surprisingly content as she wrote down a name. "Sorry but even though I had been an anchor to the tribe, I don't want to leave. Not this early." She said holding up "Stewart" to the camera.

Vincent put his hands in his pockets as he casually made his way to write down a name and put in it the urn.

Dormie happily skipped down the table glad at how things were about to work out. She wrote down a name as she made her way back.

Helen walked over to the voting table shaking her head with a sad look on her face. "I am sorry to do this but this had to be done."

Amanda casually made her way knowing exactly who she wanted to vote her. She wrote down the name. "Sorry. Over Stinky, definitely but I have to cut you loose."

Stewart walked over to the table with a neutral look on his face. Grabbing the pen, he got ready to write down a name. "I dunno. Because this was the plan in the face." He said holding up "Allison" to the camera.

Greg slowly made his way to the table not liking worried about the vote at all. He wrote down a name and went back.

Wally hummed a tune as he made his way to the voting area. Grabbing the pen, he wrote down a name and put it in the urn.

After he returned, Tiny got up.

"I'll go get the votes." He said before walking off.

Everyone looked in anticipation as Tiny walked back with the urn.

"I'll read them out. Whoever gets voted out has to leave the Tribal Council area immediately." Tiny said.

"First vote, Allison."

Allison looked unfazed by this.

"Second vote, Stewart. One vote, Allison. One vote, Stewart."

Stewart nodded his head.

"Third vote, Stewart. Two votes, Stewart. One vote, Allison."

Helen sighed as she shook her head.

"Fourth vote, Stewart. Three votes, Stewart. One vote, Allison."

Dormie grinned as she looked at Allison who smiled back.

"Fifth vote, Stewart. Four votes, Stewart. One vote, Allison."

Everyone looked at each other content with the vote as opposed to the last time.

"Third person voted out of Survivor…" Tiny said. "…Is Stewart."

The bearded man sighed as he shrugged his shoulders. Helen looked at him with regretful eyes.

"Stewart, you need to bring me your torch."

Helen watched sadly at Stewart got up as he grabbed his torch.

"Sorry, Stewart." Helen apologized.

"It is all right. I quite understand." Stewart reassured.

He then made his way over to Tiny and put his torch in front of him.

"Stewart, the tribe had spoken." Tiny said putting the snuffer over the torch extinguishing it. "You may now go."

"No offence taken, everyone." Stewart called out as he walked away. "Just make sure Stinky visits me soon."

Tiny watched the man leave before turning to the others. "You just voted off someone in an unanimous vote and from the looks on your faces, you have less regret about it than at the last Tribal Council. Let's see if that helps you. You may now go."

Everyone grabbed their torches and walked out of the hut feeling a little better about the vote. Allison was one of the most happy. Despite costing her tribe a couple of Challenges, she still managed to stay in the game. Hopefully, she wouldn't mess up any more Challenges for the tribe.

"Yeah. The minute Amanda gave that speech about voting with the tribe, I knew that she and Greg decided to keep Allison over me. Well, at least me leaving will result in a large hole in Stinky's ego." Stewart said adjusting his glass with a chuckle. "As for Helen voting against me, I hold no grudges against her. In fact, I am rooting for her. She could show the world that older people still got it."

RESULTS

Stewart: Allison, Amanda, Dormie, Greg, Helen, Vincent, Wally

Allison: Stewart

And there goes Stewart. I never had any ideas for Stewart to go far since he doesn't have the quirks so I just put him as an early boot.

NOTE: I actually created Stewart a long time before having this Survivor idea. However, he never got any development besides being a caring yet worrisome medical doctor.
