Previously on, Survivor,

Zod called NiGHTS out, and told her that she was likely to be the next to go. However, Olivier and Stryker believed someone else was a bigger target; Quan Chi. Olivier planned to use her relationship with Zod to sway him to blindside Quan Chi.

At the La Flor camp, Galaxo brought up voting off Sabrina, since Fluttershy was safe from the first vote. Christian was okay with it, and they agreed to work together, and find two other players to join them. Meanwhile, Jack made a deal with Kitana and Sabrina, hoping to cover her ground.

At the reward challenge, La Flor once again pulled ahead of Espada, and won reward. For their reward, they won fishing gear.

Back at camp, Mega Man, Garrus, and Javik all went out looking for the ocean. Javik was a little paranoid about Mega Man, not being fond of synthetics in general. Despite his concerns, Mega Man found the ocean easily for them. Meanwhile Galaxo found his two players when Kitana offered to join him, Christian along with Garrus.

Back at Espada, Olivier brought up voting out Quan Chi to Zod, but Zod had other motives. While he had said NiGHTS was the next to go, he wanted to eliminate any future competition, like Vyse and Stryker. Olivier was in the middle about it, but gave her word regardless. Meanwhile, Bree and Lobo spied on Vyse, NiGHTS, and Stryker talking about voting out Quan Chi.

At the immunity challenge, Espada defeated La Flor in a big upset, when Jack and Kitana slowed La Flor down, giving Espada it's first victory.

Before tribal council, Jack lashed out at her tribe, a little infuriated that they had to keep their weakest player, Fluttershy. When Javik brought up voting out Mega Man, Jack and Sabrina agreed to the plan, while Kitana and Garrus were uneasy. Garrus then took Javik aside, and tried to talk him out of voting Mega Man out for now, and promised Jack would be the one going.

At tribal council, Fluttershy played her one use only immunity idol, but she received no votes, and Jack ended up going home in an 8-1 vote. 16 are left, who'll be voted out tonight?

Espada: Bree, Lobo, NiGHTS, Olivier, Quan Chi, Stryker, Vyse, and Zod

La Flor: Christian, Fluttershy, Galaxo, Garrus, Javik, Kitana, Mega Man, and Sabrina

La Flor Day 7

Sabrina was a little giddy about the last vote, as she had just survived her very first tribal council.

"Heehee! I can't believe it! I finally made it through one single vote! Why don't you take that ego of yours, Cynthia, and go cry in your little corner. This might be a good sign to come for me, as it might be a sign that I'm going far." - Sabrina

"Well, I guess it was Jack's turn to not survive a single tribal council," laughed Christian, patting Sabrina's back, "How'd you feel?"

"I feel fantastic. Heck, I could care less if you vote me off next, because I've made it through my one goal." joked Sabrina, laughing.

Javik perked up, looking in her direction. He nodded his head, before walking off to gather more wood.

Once Javik was out of sight, Mega Man spoke up, "But... what did Jack mean? Javik doesn't like me?"

Garrus sighed, "That's Javik for you. He doesn't trust anything that's a robot, AI, or whatever in between."

"Javik did vote Jack out, but I don't really exactly know if he's still wanting Mega Man out, or if he's on board with whatever I want. I think it is Javik's best interest to stick with me, and not be a loose cannon." - Garrus

"Pay him no mind, Mega Man," reassured Garrus, "You're too valuable to lose, and I think he knows it. Hence why he didn't write your name down."

Mega Man nodded, smiling softly.

"I am not created for evil purposes. I was made for the good of mankind. Garrus did say that Javik's race was wiped out by robots, so I can completely understand where he's coming from. Heck, I think all I need to do is just one on one talk with him, and I think we can clear the air." - Mega Man

Meanwhile, Kitana, Galaxo, and Fluttershy were talking down by a field of mushrooms.

"Were you really that worried that you were going home?" asked Kitana, looking at Fluttershy.

"Oh, um, well.. kind of. I just.. well, wanted to feel safe." said Fluttershy, softly.

Galaxo shrugged, "If you feel that insecure about your position, it won't be easy trying to find people to trust you."

"Fluttershy has been useful so far... in the camp life of the game. In challenges... it's easy to find the most mundane things for her to do. We're giving her a chance, but she's not going to have much playtime. I know... I played with an eyeball on my tribe, physically the WEAKEST player ever." - Galaxo

Fluttershy nodded, "I know.. but the least I can do is, um, be helpful around camp. I really don't know much about the.. game, really well. I just do what everyone tells me.."

"It's better to be a pawn, then to not do anything at all." nodded Kitana, smiling at her.

"Strategy? Well, um... I don't really have a, err, strategy. I just want to have a good time, and, um... be helpful to my tribe, and make friends. I tried my hoof at strategy in, um, Redemption Island, but I didn't really do so well." - Fluttershy

– – – – –

Espada Day 7

Bree was sitting next to an ill-looking Lobo in the shelter. She looked concerned, but Lobo didn't seem to have much worry on his face at all.

"I told you not to eat those mushrooms, man," shrugged Bree, "Now look at you."

Lobo rolled his pure red eyes, "I told you already, babe, I'll be fine. Let me rest for a few hours, and it'll go away. Can't die anyway."

"Eh, the effects of eating those poisonous mushrooms seem to be kicking in right about now. But what do I care? Unlike most of these guys, I'll just beat the symptoms in a few hours. Not a huge deal for the Main Man." - Lobo

"Huh, is that so? I figured that you die, and then come back to life just like that." replied Bree.

"Much more complicated then that. Heck, I got sick in Prison Island after eating raw fish. Still survived to kick ass, didn't I?" smirked Lobo.

Bree nodded, "Fair enough.. so what's the plan? There's a plan to oust Quan Chi. I don't think we'll have the numbers, dude."

"Listen, Zod's getting Olivier with us. He'll be safe in no time at all." shrugged Lobo.

"At this point, I could really care less if Quan Chi or Zod get a blindside, but really, that will effect me in the long run. Lobo and I might need to jump ship if we get caught ON the sinking ship." - Bree

Bree nodded, and left the shelter to leave Lobo by himself to recover. Meanwhile, NiGHTS and Vyse were out on a fishing hunt. While they didn't have all the stuff to fish, they did have a spear hand made by Zod and Olivier.

"Are you feeling good about the plan we made?" asked Vyse.

NiGHTS shook her head, "Not really, more that I think about it. While it's good to take out the villains, it keeps people in the that, otherwise, would be against us if not for them. I mean, what are the odds that Stryker and Olivier won't stick with us after they're all gone?"

"A tribe swap is likely coming down the road. While not as often as my season was, a tribal swap can change a lot of loyalties. I think it's more likely the villains will be messed up by the swap, but Olivier and Stryker? They might make it to the merge with new allies, and that worries me." - NiGHTS

"I have my faith in Stryker, but Olivier I'm not too sure about," replied Vyse, "The thing is, I don't think we should keep Quan Chi and take one or the other out. He has to go no matter what."

NiGHTS, "No, I agree about that, I'm just saying after he's gone, you know? I might just be freaking out a little, since we started off on the wrong foot, but... well, you know."

"Stryker did have a small bond with Garrus prior to the pick 'em at the beginning of the game, so there is a slight chance Stryker could go over to Garrus if he's not feeling comfortable with us. Olivier has Zod, so she's a huge wild card right now, compared to Stryker." - Vyse

"I'd say, for now? We keep to the plan, vote Quan Chi, and hopefully we don't get any major surprises." smiled Vyse, giving her a thumbs up.

NiGHTS smiled back, before looking back towards camp, "I just hope we can manage to hang in there. We've lost two challenges already."

Vyse nodded, and the two of them continued their trek to get some fish before the challenge.

– – – – –

"Come on in guys!"

Both tribes arrived at the challenge area.

"Espada getting your first look at the new La Flor tribe. Jack voted off at the last tribal council."

They were quite shocked to see her leave so soon. Lobo laughed.

"Guys ready for today's reward challenge?"

Everyone nodded excitedly.

"For today's challenge, five tribe members will be hooked together, carrying heavy bags of sand. You will be running around a small circular track in the water. At any point in the race, you can go and drop out, and let your tribe move on, but you must give your weight to someone else. Your goal is to catch up to the other tribe, and knock them over. First tribe to do so, wins reward."

Jeff revealed pillows, blankets, tarp, and a hammock.

"Comfort items! Always a blessing to be warm at night, and out here, despite the mushrooms acting as a canopy, a tarp would be even better. Let's get started."

Espada

Running: Lobo, Zod, Stryker, Vyse, and Olivier

La Flor

Running: Mega Man, Garrus, Kitana, Javik, and Galaxo

"Survivors ready? GO!"

Both tribes starting running off around the track. The water up to their knees would slow them down, but with enough determination, they would be able to make it. Espada had the bigger, stronger guys hauling their tribe, while La Flor had to compensate for losing Jack at the last vote, who would have no doubt helped them here.

Espada was making some ground when the first two people dropped; ironically both the leaders. Kitana was strong, but she could not keep up with the rest of her tribe. She gave her weight to Mega Man. Zod's old bones were not adjusting well to the weight, coupled with the knee high water, and he was not helpful. He gave his weight to Lobo.

Despite their removals, Espada was still gaining more and more ground over La Flor. Mega Man and Garrus were working the best they could to catch up. The next two to drop out were Olivier for Espada, who gave her weight to Stryker, and Javik for La Flor, who like Kitana gave his weight to Mega Man.

Mega Man kicked on his jet boots again, and helped Garrus and Galaxo catch up to Espada, at least half way through. Espada was amazed at how well La Flor was doing to catch up. Lobo would not give up, and called all the shots to ensure a win for Espada. Another two players dropped out; Mega Man did not like the water, and despite his work, could not focus after a good amount of jetting. He gave all three weights to Galaxo. For Espada, Stryker could not hold on any longer, and gave his weights to Vyse.

Both tribes did their best to catch up to the other. Garrus and Galaxo had an upper hand thanks to Mega Man, and for Espada, they were trying their best to catch up.

In the end...

...Mega Man's work paid off when Garrus tackled Vyse from behind.

"LA FLOR WINS REWARD!"

All of La Flor hugged and cheered.

"Another excellent come back from the La Flor tribe, and yet again, it was all thanks to Mega Man. He's pulled you guys out of a lot of bad spots. Thanks to your win, you will have a nice night of comfort, and maybe a good night's sleep to go with it. Espada, nothing for you tonight. Grab your stuff, and head on back to camp. See you all for the next immunity challenge."

– – – – –

La Flor Day 8

Jeff was absolutely right, for the previous night was one of the best nights for the La Flor tribe in eight days. Christian woke up, and stretched out his limbs after he woke up.

"Best night in the Mushroom Hills since we got here, and I have to tell you, it was great. We pulled out yet another win, and I think we're proving to be the underdogs in this battle between us and Espada. They have the stronger guys, and we have the weaker guys here." - Christian

Javik and Garrus were tending to the fire, and Garrus watched Mega Man walk out towards the ocean trail to go get fish. He nodded, and looked at Javik, "You see how impressive Mega Man was today, didn't you?"

Javik didn't respond, simply nodded his head.

"Perhaps you should go and give him a good pat on the back," suggested Garrus, "It'd be good for the team morale. Not to mention, it'll clear the air between you two."

"La Flor really doesn't have many problems... Javik and Mega Man are really the only problem I can think of. But the more and more Mega Man wins for our tribe, the more I think Javik will learn to respect him. That's just how he works." - Garrus

"There was never anything between us," replied Javik, "He is simply a synthetic. But if it pleases you, I will go and talk to him. Besides, if we were to lose right now, he would not be the one I put down on the paper."

"Who would that one be?" asked Garrus.

"The psychic. She has given up. It clearly showed after we returned from the tribal council." replied Javik.

"When we returned from the tribal council, the psychic, Sabrina, announced that she was fine with getting voted off, since she had accomplished her goal. If that is her way of telling a joke, it may just cost her a million dollars." - Javik

"Well, I won't lie to you, but I think Sabrina's name has been thrown around, so that might happen.." shrugged Garrus.

Javik nodded, and left the area. He followed down the ocean path, and caught up to Mega Man, who had his harpoon arm out and ready to fish with.

Javik spoke up, which caused Mega Man to jump a little, "Your skills are way beyond normal human or alien capacities, synthetic."

He looked behind him, and was relived to see it was Javik, but still a little worried, "Huh..? Oh, well, um... thank you. I actually did want to talk to you."

"As did I. If it seemed like I was after you, you can rest assured I am not." confessed Javik.

"Oh... well that's good to hear." smiled Mega Man.

"Javik came over, and made me feel a little comfortable about where he stood in the tribe. It's good to see him say that, but do I trust it, not so sure, really." - Mega Man

"You have proven to be a warrior in challenges, and in desperate times, you will be needed," explained Javik, "We do need the likes of the pony and the psychic gone soon."

Mega Man nodded, "Yeah, I mean, like Fluttershy and Sabrina, but there's... really no one we can vote off to make the team better, you know?"

"The psychic did say she didn't mind being voted off... is that a sign she's ready to go home?" suggested Javik.

Mega Man nodded, "Sounds like it, almost."

"I made my amends with the synthetic, but we must eliminate him once there are few targets left to go. The ones I have in mind are the psychic, the pony, and then the old man. Once they are all gone, surely they will recognize the synthetic as a threat." - Javik

Meanwhile, back at camp, Sabrina and Fluttershy were separating all the mushrooms into the non-poisonous and poisonous categories.

"You seem to know so much." smiled Sabrina.

"Oh, um... it's just what I do. Nature is my thing. Animals, plants, but mostly animals." smiled Fluttershy, shyly.

"Fluttershy is one of my only allies in the game, along with Kitana. Kitana's not entirely fond of keeping her around, which I totally understand. I can sense, as well, that I could be a target just as well. I just want to make the merge phase. There I can make my best moves." - Sabrina

– – – – –

Espada Day 8

Behind one of the giant mushrooms, Quan Chi, Zod, and Lobo were having a chat about the one use idol Quan Chi had.

"Weren't we like... just going to use it to trick someone?" shrugged Lobo, yawning.

Quan Chi nodded, "Yes, but... didn't you tell us that there's a power struggle going on right now?"

Lobo nodded, "Yeah, what of it?"

"There's really no way for me to play this game without a target constantly following me everywhere I simply go. Lobo told us that he and Bree had... overheard a conversation that involved voting me off. Because our position is being threatened, our strategy has to change." - Quan Chi

Zod looked at Lobo sternly, "Have you no mind of your own? If we don't do anything, Quan Chi will be the target. We do have Olivier and Bree, but I am worried, because Olivier wants you to go."

"I figured as such. She was never too fond of me at the beginning." replied Quan Chi, not surprised.

"How come I'm the only one that finds someone loyal, meanwhile, you guys just find people willing to slay the rest of us?" muttered Lobo.

"So there's one side of the tribe that wants Quan Chi out, and that would be Stryker, Vyse, NiGHTS, and Olivier. The rest of us dweebs are stuck on the other end. The Main Man knows what this means. We either tie, and risk it, or someone flips." - Lobo

"If we lose today's challenge," explained Zod, "Bring that idol to tribal council. Scare them into not voting for you. It's your only hope."

"Yet we only have one chance. The minute I do not use it, they will know I'm merely bluffing." replied Quan Chi.

Zod shrugged, "So what? Who cares? If someone flips, then you're safe. Simple as that!"

"And then they flip the vote and point the shotgun at me or Zod. Game over." snarked Lobo.

"These people aren't dummies, and yet that's what Zod thinks. I get the whole 'they'll kneel before us' schtick, but it gets old after saying it day after day, and nothing changes. Come on, you bastiches. Use your brains. You got this far in your life using them, as it is." - Lobo

Meanwhile, back at camp, Stryker and Bree were laying down in the shelter, taking a break after working.

"What's up? Haven't really gotten a chance to talk to you yet." said Stryker, looking over at her.

Bree shrugged, "Just haven't had to time, dude. Usually my time is just... hanging out with the bad boys, and trying to fit in."

"I get along with everyone on this tribe, man, I mean.. I feel like the only people I haven't really gotten to know well are Stryker, Quan Chi, and... I guess NiGHTS. We've only had like... one conversation. So it's whatevs." - Bree

"Well, gotta get in close to make it far," laughed Stryker, before clearing his throats, "Look... I understand where you're coming from. But I think most of us are voting Quan Chi if we lose."

Bree nodded, "So I've been hearing."

"So... if you stick with the villains, it's 4 against 4. If you flip, you can avoid being in the minority if the tiebreaker goes against you." offered Stryker.

"Bree's the wild card. She's pretty much been Lobo's sidekick since the game began, and that's all she's done. At this point, she can save herself by turning on the villains, and avoid being picked off." - Stryker

Bree sighed a little bit, nodding her head, "I can see the disadvantages and advantages... I mean, the tiebreaker is fire making, I'm sure. Too early for that purple rock."

Stryker shrugged, "I ain't much of a risk taker, I'll say that much. But... just think about it, Bree. Your fate is in your hands after all."

Bree nodded, agreeing with his words.

"Do I flip? Do I betray the Main Man? Dude, I have no idea at this point. I hope we win immunity, because I want to wait on this decision just a little bit longer. Hey, this is my first time, sort of, playing the game. Don't blame me for newbie mistakes, man." - Bree

– – – – –

"Come on in guys!"

Both tribes arrived at the challenge area.

"Guys ready for today's immunity challenge?"

Both tribes nodded excitedly.

"I'll take back immunity from you, Espada."

NiGHTS did so.

"For today's challenge, one player will be lifted into the air, hanging out in the ocean. You should pick your lightest player. Four other tribe members will be holding onto a rope that keeps that player up in the air. Every 30 minutes, you must drop someone out until we're down to one player. First tribe to let go, loses immunity, and the other tribe wins immunity. Let's get started."

Espada

Hanging out at sea: NiGHTS

Holding the rope: Lobo, Stryker, Vyse, and Zod

La Flor

Hanging out at sea: Fluttershy

Holding the rope: Garrus, Javik, Kitana, and Mega Man

"This challenge has begun..."

– 30 minutes in... –

Everyone was holding on as best as they could. NiGHTS and Fluttershy really didn't have to do much in this challenge, and simply just hung on in the air while their tribe members worked.

"Immunity is no joke, everyone is in it to win it. But sadly, someone has to let go now."

For Espada, Vyse let go, while for La Flor, Javik decided to let go.

Javik letting go made La Flor lose a lot of strength. Fluttershy was heavier then NiGHTS was, and for that reason, it gave La Flor more of a challenge. Espada was also struggling, but Lobo and Stryker were hanging in there.

– 1 hour in... –

"Time to let someone go now."

The next two to drop out were Zod and Kitana, leaving Lobo, Stryker, Garrus, and Mega Man doing all the work for their tribes.

Mega Man and Garrus pulled a little bit harder, and they were managing a little bit better now that Kitana left. As for Espada, they were now the ones struggling. Stryker was not as strong as either Garrus or Mega Man.

– 1 hour, 30 minutes in... –

"Choose wisely now. Someone has to let go, and it'll all come down to the final person."

Stryker and Garrus were the ones to drop out, leaving it solely up to Mega Man and Lobo now to win immunity.

Lobo's muscles were straining big time, but he showed no signs of giving up. Mega Man was strong, but not by physical standards. He relied on his gadgets more, so it was going to really show if he was strong enough to beat one of the strongest players in the game.

In the end...

…Fluttershy was the one who fell into the water.

"Mega Man lets go! LOBO WINS IMMUNITY FOR ESPADA!"

All of Espada hugged and cheered, while Lobo shouted out, "ALL HAIL THE MAIN MAN, BABY! WOOO HOOO!"

"Great job for Lobo! You managed to win immunity for the Espada tribe, and I think they all thank you for it. Good job guys, no tribal council. La Flor, another loss, another vote. Someone is going home. I'll see you all at tribal council."

– – – – –

La Flor Day 9

After losing their second immunity challenge in a row, the alliance of Kitana, Garrus, Christian, and Galaxo all had to decide who was leaving tonight.

"Mega Man's not going anywhere," explained Garrus, "So we're keeping him. So.. it's between Javik, Sabrina, and Fluttershy tonight. Who can we afford to lose?"

"At this point, there's me, Kitana, Galaxo, and Christian. We all formed an alliance, and we agreed to stick to it as much as we can. With Mega Man being our strongest and needing him, it comes down to the other three." - Garrus

"Like I said before, I think our best bet is Sabrina," replied Galaxo, "Being a psychic, she'll be able to predict our moves at the drop of a hat."

Christian nodded, "I like that idea, but I think, two immunities in a row? Gotta say Fluttershy tonight. She's helped us so far in camp, but when we get down to fewer numbers, she'll have to compete. That might not be good."

"Right now, I'm sticking to my guns, and staying with this alliance of four. I know a few roadblocks might come down the line, but right now, it's us four to the end. The problem is just... figuring out who to cut next?" - Christian

"Both are good options tonight," agreed Garrus, before turning to look at Kitana, "What do you think?"

Kitana looked up at his alliance, "I think the best option would have to be Javik. He's one of the oldest, very set in his ways... we're not at a point where Fluttershy could be a waste of space, so... just throwing in my two cents."

"My real reason for targeting Javik is to eliminate any potential relationships between him and Garrus. While I trust Garrus immensely, I do want Javik out of the way so that he's not worrying about anything on the side." - Kitana

Christian nodded, "I can see that. But hey, that makes me the oldest guy here." He laughed in a teasing manner.

"I see your point, Kitana," nodded Galaxo, "I'm all for it. Should be Sabrina, but I'll go with the team if it's for Javik."

Garrus didn't say anything, but he nodded his head in agreement. After agreeing to the plan, Kitana went off to go tell Sabrina and Fluttershy.

"Damn it. I wasn't really expecting to have to vote Javik out this early. I did offer him my word, and it doesn't look like I'll be able to turn it around. Well this will be one of many broken promises anyway, so... time to play the game." - Garrus

Meanwhile, sitting around the fire, Javik was tending to the fire, minding his own business. Mega Man walked up to greet him, sitting down from the opposite end of him.

"Anything you need, robot?" asked Javik, not looking up to see him.

"I really appreicate Javik and I clearing the air, and he's respected my power. However... I think it's best for the team he leaves tonight. I mean, I need to watch for my back, and he's the only one that might be after me. Clearing the air doesn't exactly mean we're not allies in the game." - Mega Man

Mega Man sighed, "You know, I just wanted to tell you that it was good to settle our differences for now, but... we lost two in a row. I need to look out for my best interests, so..."

"You are voting for me, tonight?" asked Javik.

Mega Man nodded, "Yeah... I'm sorry. I'm only telling you this because, I heard from Sabrina that it's close to majority."

Javik caught attention of that quote, and shook his head in slight disappointment.

"The robot had the nerve to tell me that I was the one going home. Mistake if I ever believed one. Synthetics are only out for themselves, no regards to the ones that built them. It will be one final stand, but I will do whatever it takes to beat him." - Javik

"Sorry.." frowned Mega Man, looking up at Javik as he got from his seat.

"Do not worry. It is not your fault. Your programing merely tells you to be honest. Too honest." replied Javik sternly, before leaving the area. Mega Man sighed, and continued stirring the rice that Javik left unattended.

A few minutes later, Javik and Garrus were talking behind one of the giant mushrooms.

"Tell me, turian," began Javik, "Is my name up for the tribal council, tonight?"

Garrus nodded his head, sighing a little, "And I hate to be the one to tell you. If it's majority, I can't really turn the tribe around."

"So I confessed to Javik about the fact that he was likely the one going home tonight. Dang did I feel like a jackass, but there was no secret hiding it. I rather be the one to tell him, rather then it being at tribal council." - Garrus

"So you go back on your word?" asked Javik.

Garrus shook his head, "No, Javik, I... damn it. Look, there's nothing I can do. If I vote to keep you, I look like a moron. I'm sorry, your fate is out of my hands."

Javik stood there in silence, his four eyes staring at Garrus sternly, before walking off, "Very well, then."

"You cannot tempt your fate, you can only decide it. Tonight, it appears I stand no shot at surviving. However, I will do what I can at the tribal council to get the robot out. It will be my last stand." - Javik

– – – – –

The La Flor tribe arrived at tribal council.

"Another loss, another day at tribal council. Sabrina, how did it feel to finally survive your first ever tribal council?" asked Jeff.

"Jeff, you have no idea what the feeling was like. Part of me was like... 'Suck it Cynthia!', and another part of me was... 'Now what?'. I made it pass vote number 1. Now can I make it to the Top 3? We'll see." replied Sabrina.

"Javik, last tribal council, Jack got voted out. Did her leaving put this tribe in a bad spot?" asked Jeff.

Javik nodded.

"You could say so. She was strong, but her mind said otherwise. We would have won the last immunity if we had her, but we must pay for our consequences." replied Javik.

"Christian, being one of the oldest here, how concerned are you that it could be you tonight?" asked Jeff.

"There's always this part of me that thinks that the tribe will turn around and blindside me. I'm the old man, but as you and my son know, that's far from the truth." replied Christian.

"We believe in you, Christian." smiled Fluttershy, softly, looking at him.

Christian nodded, smiling back at her.

"Garrus, tough vote tonight?" asked Jeff.

Garrus sighed.

"One of the first, Jeff." replied Garrus.

Javik's expression twitched.

"Okay, it's time to vote, Sabrina, you're up."

– – –

Garrus' Vote: Sorry, old friend, but I have to go with the tribe. (Javik)

Javik's Vote: (says nothing as he votes) (?)

– – –

"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, Mega Man. (He nodded, looking over at Javik with a frown.)

Javik. One vote Javik, one vote Mega Man.

Javik. Two votes Javik, one vote Mega Man. (He nodded his head, arms crossed.)

Javik. Three votes Javik, one vote Mega Man.

Javik. That's four votes Javik. (He was grabbing his things, no point in waiting.)

Third person voted out of Survivor Unfinished Business, Javik. That's five, that's enough. You need to bring me your torch.

Javik nodded, bringing his torch over to Jeff without saying much of anything.

"Javik, the tribe has spoken."

He snuffed out his torch.

"Time for you to go."

Javik nodded, giving a nod to his former tribe before leaving the area.

"Another simple, easy vote. How many losses will it take for the La Flor tribe to make a big move? The time is only shortening, and I'm sure, sometime down the road, the stakes will triple. Grab your torches, and head on back. Good night."

– – – – –

Javik's Final Words

"The chance to play this game again only came to be because I was searching for new opportunities. I do not believe the La Flor tribe has the strength to win the next competition. Perhaps they would be holding strong if they sacrificed the weak. I now return to my home, and continue surviving."

VOTE

Javik – Kitana, Sabrina, Christian, Mega Man, Galaxo, Garrus, and Fluttershy

Mega Man – Javik

So the next episode will make the triple twist happen. So how will it work?

Well, the name says it all. The tribes will triple up. Three tribes will be competing against eachother after Day 10.

How does that come to be, well, Kitana and Zod will have to choose 2-3 players (2 for La Flor, 3 for Espada), to go to an island for some 'negotiations' for a supposed reward challenge.

Ultimately, it only makes a third tribe out of the players chosen, making it 5 vs 5 vs 5. Kitana and Zod cannot be chosen, so they will stay on their tribes. The only confirmed player I will say, at this point, that will be on the new tribe, is Stryker.
