Previously on, Survivor,
Pac-Man was told the truth about the idol moments after Annette was voted out of the game. He vowed to tell nobody, but his best ally Aladdin. Knowing that he needed to branch away from Chrom and Samus, Aladdin also vowed to not tell them. Meanwhile, knowing he was on the cutting block, Brian needed to find a crack somewhere.
Over at Gorunia, Ghirahim asked Sheegwa about the hidden immunity idol, and Sheegwa did not tell him a thing. Then Ghirahim told Sheegwa how much of a pair Braixen and Greninja were, and that they needed to be split. Sheegwa agreed, but saw no advantage to going with Foxy and Ghirahim.
On Zoruto, Shulk showed his clue to Lucina, choosing not to tell Sheik as he had lost his trust in her after what Jackle had said about her. He also told Lucina of the plan Jackle offered. At this point, there was no agreement on who to go with; Jackle or Sheik?
At the reward challenge, despite little enthusiasm during the challenge, Waluigi gained the momentum to win reward for his tribe; earning his tribe three chickens. Chrom and Ghirahim were then sent to Exile Island. On Exile Island, Chrom gained the clue and chose not to share with Ghirahim. He was surprised to learn that the idol was actually back at camp as Annette was telling the truth.
Back at Zoruto, the tribe savored their victory, and Waluigi felt like a king for once in the game. He believed that there would be no way Zoruto could lose after this amazing victory.
On the other two tribes, Brian devised a plan to play both sides. He knew that Pac-Man and Aladdin were a duo, and that Chrom and Samus were another. He said that Chrom might be a threat and get the idol. Meanwhile, Sheegwa ratted out Ghirahim to Braixen and Greninja.
At the immunity challenge, in one of the most intense challenges yet, Kokoria easily won first place with no problem. But due to knot untying issues with Shulk and Greninja, the other two tribes slowed down. But in the end Foxy and Braixen won immunity for Gorunia, sending Zoruto to tribal council.
Before tribal council, Shulk and Lucina were caught in the middle between their alliance with Sheik, and a potential new alliance with Waluigi and Jackle. Fearing Jackle, Sheik targeted him, while the wannabe villains targeted Sheik.
At tribal council, after much thought, Shulk and Lucina voted for Jackle, sending the nightmaren home in a 3-2 decision, leaving Waluigi with not much hope. On Veteran's Island, Chun-Li came out victorious over Maxwell, earning a spot in the game. 15 are left once again, who'll be voted out tonight?
Gorunia: Braixen, Foxy, Ghirahim, Greninja, and Sheegwa
Kokoria: Aladdin, Brian, Chrom, Pac-Man, and Samus
Zoruto: Lucina, Sheik, Shulk, and Waluigi
On Veteran's Island: Chun-Li

Zoruto Day 12
After tribal council had ended, Waluigi was not happy with the results, although he showed no pity for Jackle's elimination.
"Waahh! Jackle made himself too obvious, and got himself voted out! But Waluigi all alone now, and it's disgusting! Waluigi win chickens for tribe, tribe shows no gratitude? Wahhh! What a bunch of losers, that's what they are!" - Waluigi
As Waluigi stomped off away from camp to go hang with Lobo and complain to him, Sheik turned to look at Shulk and Lucina.
"Hmph. What cowards. Trying to make up such a lie as be being the Princess of Hyrule." muttered Sheik.
"So, you're not Zelda?" asked Shulk.
Sheik shook her head, "No. I do know the woman, but I am not her."
"Jackle needed to go before he blew my cover, and he was coming very close. Such a pity that he had to be taken out of his misery. My reasoning is clear. I rather not have a target on my back from the beginning." - Sheik
"For now, I need some rest after that pointless vote. Take care you two." continued Sheik, before returning to camp for a nap.
Shulk turned to look at Lucina after Sheik left, "I don't buy it for a minute, Lucina. There's just too much evidence at this point."
"Right before leaving for tribal council, I looked into the future using my Monado sword." (He holds up the blade) "And... it told me that if I sent Sheik home... I would lose Lucina. But if I sent Jackle home, I would lose Sheik. Whatever the meaning is... I've yet to know." - Shulk
"It would make sense Jackle would know this knowledge," explained Lucina, "I mean.. I owned up to being a princess.. why can't she?"
"It must be her strategy," remarked Shulk, shrugging, "Doesn't matter.. the only one whose loyalty matters is you. As long as the two of us stick together, the future is ours to decide."
Lucina smirked, "I'm okay with that."
"I don't trust Sheik anymore. I think she should come clean and just tell us the truth, because otherwise it will be hard to trust her. At this point, I'd rather take Waluigi all the way since we hold his fate in our hands. He knows that if he messes up, he's dead." - Lucina
"So for now, Sheik will be the next to go," confirmed Shulk, "But if Waluigi becomes out of hand, we send him home. Oh, and don't tell anything to him. Otherwise he might blow our plan up."
"Agreed." nodded Lucina, shaking Shulk's hand.
"I'm setting myself up well for the next couple of days. We need to stop losing, and start winning before we become dead meat at the merger. I've yet to check if that's the case, but I want to change the future as best I can so that it plays out in my favor." - Shulk

Kokoria Day 12
Deep in the forest, Chrom was talking with Aladdin and Samus about the clue he got on Exile Island.
"We were all assuming Annette was lying but... but now... she was right all along." noted Chrom, showing both of his allies the clue to the idol.
"So it's located around here, guess that's something we don't need to worry about." smirked Samus.
"Chrom was sent to Exile Island, and he revealed to Aladdin and I that the idol was located here on our island. We all assumed Annette was lying to us about that, so we never thought otherwise. Now that we know for sure... we're set." - Samus
"Hey, the best part is that Brian's been the one who's focused on the idol being on Exile Island. Let him think that, and he'll never find the idol." remarked Aladdin.
"As long as he's never sent to Exile Island, he won't know," reminded Chrom, folding the clue up and placing it in his pocket, "Oh... and no telling Pac-Man. Keep this clue between us."
Samus nodded, "Sounds fair."
"I don't exactly trust Pac-Man 100%. He's one of the nicest guys on the tribe, but he's playing the game too, and my gut is telling me not to trust him. He was close with Annette, and who knows what Annette told him but not us." - Chrom
"Good with that, Aladdin?" asked Chrom.
Aladdin nodded, "Oh, yeah, of course! Pac-Man's my bud, but you're my alliance."
"Right." nodded Samus.
"Of course I'm telling Pac-Man about this. What kind of sleazeball would I be if I didn't tell him what they told me? I don't want to be in that situation where I don't have a tight ally when I desperately need one. Chrom and Samus have eachother more then they have me, so..." - Aladdin
Meanwhile, back at camp, Trevor was eating fish with Pac-Man and Brian for the time being, wondering what was coming up.
"I have a feeling we'll be mixed up today," noted Brian, "Just a small feeling. We can't be three tribes forever."
"And dissolve Zoruto? I'll be glad if that happens. One less psycho coach for me to deal with. That's my job." laughed Trevor.
"If we mix up, oh my God, that will be the best thing ever for me. I'm at the bottom, and I need a miracle to save me right now. I don't care if the producers are doing it for me or not, I just want to make it to at least Day 20. Is that too much for?" - Brian
Pac-Man smiled, "We'll just have to see what happens. For all we know, we may never swap."
"If that's the case, don't lose any challenges, got that?" replied Trevor, "We already cut the dead weight. There ain't none no more."
"You can say that again." laughed Brian.
"Of course, if we swap and it screws me over, then yeah that's a chance too. I don't know, I've been dreading the day we go back to tribal council, because without a doubt I'm going home. Time for the game to be changed up, and fast." - Brian

Gorunia Day 12
It was early in the day, and most of the players on Gorunia had woken up early for breakfast. Sheegwa was still napping, Ghirahim and Sweet Tooth were eating freshly caught fish by Greninja, and Foxy was watching them, being unable to eat.
A little while ago, Greninja and Braixen went out into the forest together. This made Sweet Tooth a tad curious.
"Hmm... what have they been up to, I wonder." the clown pondered.
Ghirahim shrugged, "Whatever it is, it's nothing good I'll tell you. Those two have been acting weird with one another the last couple of days.
"I was unable to keep an eye on Sheegwa when I was on Exile Island, so I have no idea what went down while I was away. However, seeing Braixen and Greninja wander off into the forest, I have a slight feeling that Sheegwa told them everything. Just a hunch... and I know she was lying to me about the idol." - Ghirahim
"The l-l-l-landlubbers think they- think they have all the p-p-p-power!" remarked Foxy, pointing his hook hand at the forest, "Fishing or-or-or-or killthemall- or fire, they believe th-th-th-they have- they have immunity!"
"Precisely my animatronic fellow," grinned Ghirahim, "Greninja can fish, but can't talk... Braixen can bring us fire... but like Jeffy said... flint can't be voted off. Quite the offer shall I say?"
"Don't do anything stupid, Ghirahim," replied Sweet Tooth sternly, "You know who the dead weight is."
Ghirahim rolled his eyes at him.
"Sweet Tooth has been hounding me to not vote off either of the pokemon. Hmph! What a jerk. Telling me what to do. Clown boy needs to learn his place. He's my coach, not my leader. What I say goes.. not he." - Ghirahim
Meanwhile, deep in the forest, Greninja was leading Braixen deeper and deeper into the forest.
"Greninja... where are you taking me...?" asked Braixen, a little confused.
"Ninja. Nin!" replied Greninja, still not being specific.
"After doing his routine fishing this morning, Greninja took me out to the forest, without really giving any rhyme or reason as to why. I think he wants to show me something but... not sure what. Hopefully whatever this is... I can learn something about the frog." - Braixen
After arriving near a waterfall, far away from where the Gorunia camp was, Greninja walked forward towards it, crossing the arms.
"What's up with you today, Greninja..?" asked Braixen.
Then Braixen heard something strange come out of Greninja's mouth, "...had to get you away from camp to tell you. Nobody else needs to know."
Braixen's eyes widened a little, "You... you do speak English.."
"Of course I do... what pokemon doesn't speak English besides the wild ones?" remarked Greninja, turning to look at Braixen, "I trust you the most out here... so I figured you should know."
"My strategy coming out for Survivor was to pretend to be a wild pokemon. Even in casting, I acted like a wild pokemon. No English, no nothing. Given my skills and abilities, I believe it would be easier to trust me.. and rely on me." - Greninja
"I knew there was something about you... but I'm very honored to have gained this much trust from you." smiled Braixen brightly.
Greninja nodded, blushing a little, "And I will admit... I have been developing feelings for you. It's odd for me.. having a crush on someone of the same gender."
Braixen blushed as well until Greninja spoke the latter part, "Wait... you're a girl?"
Greninja nodded, "Always have been.. you just all assumed I was a boy because I can't clarify."
"So Foxy was right..." remarked Braixen to herself quietly.
"I'm just... a little happy and surprised all at the same time, really. First, Greninja can speak English... then I learn that she has a crush on me... and then I learn she's a girl? Too many emotions going through me right now, and... I quite like that." - Braixen
"Please keep this between us," explained Greninja, "I will do it on my own when I'm ready, clear?"
Braixen nodded, smiling at her, "Promise."
The two pokemon then embraced near the waterfall.
– – – – –
"Come on in guys!"
All three tribes arrived at the challenge area.
"Kokoria, Gorunia, getting your first look at the new Zoruto tribe; Jackle voted out at the last tribal council."
Nobody was surprised to see the nightmaren gone.
"Alright guys, today we have a big day, so let's not waste anytime in getting through it all, okay?"
Everyone nodded, curious as to what Jeff had to say.
"First off... it's time to reveal one of the major twists of the game; Veteran's Island."
Everyone was confused at the name, and listened closely.
"Veteran's Island is a twist was recycled from Survivor: Ultimates, and reused out here. There, it had Will, Angry Video Game Nerd, Robert, and Limberg. The winner would then enter the game and become a player. Out here... we had four newbies on Veteran's Island, and this morning we had our winner. Bring her out now!"
Everyone turned their attention to a boat coming in. On it was Chun-Li, the winner of Veteran's Island. Everyone applauded on her arrival and she waved at them with a smile.
"Please introduce yourself."
"Hi guys! I'm Chun-Li, I'm a fighter from China, and I was able to win my way through difficult challenges in strength, mental, and endurance. If I join your tribe, you have a worthy competitor." she smiled.
"Chun-Li will be joining a tribe eventually... but first we have some changes to make."
Everyone got excited, hoping for a swap to be coming.
"Coaches. As you all know, you've been leading your tribes for the last 12 days, and will continue to do so. Might I up the stakes a little? The coach whose player wins the title of Sole Survivor... will earn $10,000, just like Jade did in Survivor: Destiny Isles!"
Lobo, Sweet Tooth, and Trevor loved those odds, clapping and hooting afterwards.
"So... Lobo! I know you love your tribe, and you've had a rough road so far, with two losses. It's time to play a little game of luck. Is your luck on you, buddy?"
Lobo smirked, "Give it to me, Probst! I'm ready for it!"
"Okay then... pick one player on your tribe that you want to give up. Someone you have no faith in winning the money, or someone that you think will bring down your tribe. Time for the Coach Roulette."
Everyone was shocked to hear that, and some were worried that they would be picked off immediately. Trevor and Sweet Tooth smirked, already planning their picks.
Lobo laughed, "Hah! I thought it was going to be a big decision. Come on, Sheik! Get the hell off my tribe. Nobody should trust you, if you're willing to hide secrets."
Sheik rolled her eyes, and threw her blue buff off and to the side, walking over to stand next to Chun-Li.
"Sweet Tooth! Your turn! You and Trevor will have to make the same decisions as Lobo, but this time you must pick two players. Make your selections."
Sweet Tooth looked over his tribe. Ghirahim was begging for him not to screw up his game, but Sweet Tooth seemingly ignored him, "Tell you what Jeff. I have a lot of dead weight I want off. Sheegwa and Foxy. I have no faith in them."
Sheegwa was saddened, while Foxy seemed irritated at the decision, his head twitching a little. Ghirahim was pissed. Both of them dropped their red buffs and walked over to join Sheik and Chun-Li.
"Okay, last but not least, Trevor! Who do you no longer want on Kokoria?"
Trevor smirked, crossing his arms, "Look Jeff, I'm the coach and leader, and I think we need to cut off the attitudes, and cut those who try to take over my role as leader. I select Samus for her bad attitude and Chrom for trying to run my tribe."
Samus wasn't surprised she was picked, but Chrom was shocked. He thought Trevor would take Pac-Man off instead of him. Both players dropped their green buffs, and walked down to join the others.
"Okay, in Survivor, you sometimes have to play the lottery, and today that's what will be happening. You six will reach into here, and pick out a numbered stone. That will be the order in which you pick out new buffs. You might end up back on the same tribe you were kicked off of."
After drawing rocks, the order was Chun-Li, Foxy, Samus, Sheegwa, Sheik, and Chrom.
"Okay, Chun-Li, you're first! Reach into the urn, and determine your fate."
Chun-Li closed her eyes, and reached into the urn... and pulled out the first red buff.
"Chun-Li will become a member of Gorunia, go join your new tribe." smiled Jeff. Chun-Li smiled, and ran over to join her new tribe. Ghirahim looked sick to his stomach.
"Foxy, your turn!"
Foxy reached in with his metallic hand, and pulled out a green buff, the first one.
"Foxy will now become a member of Kokoria, go join the tribe." replied Jeff. Foxy nodded, clankily walking over to greet his new tribe. They didn't look entirely thrilled, but Pac-Man smiled and greeted him.
"Okay Samus, your turn."
Samus reached in and mixed around the buffs inside a little. She pulled out a blue buff.
"Zoruto! Samus becomes a new member of Zoruto, go join your tribe." smiled Jeff. Samus walked over and shook the hands of all three players, ignoring Lobo.
"Sheegwa, you're up next!"
Sheegwa reached into the urn with her paw... and was the first player to draw the same colored buff as before.
"Sheegwa will rejoin her old tribe Gorunia! Go join them, and Gorunia is complete at five members." smiled Jeff. Sheegwa leaped into Braixen's arms, and hugged her, happy to be home.
"Okay Sheik, one of two things will happen. You will either send you and Chrom back to your old tribes... or you will be in a new tribe. Draw now."
Sheik reached in...
…
…
...and pulled out a green buff, sending her to Kokoria, and Chrom to Zoruto.
"Okay, that settles it. Sheik will join Kokoria, and Chrom will join Zoruto. Go say hello to your new tribes." replied Jeff. Sheik didn't seem to greet her tribe right away, irritated at being kicked off of her old one. Chrom was happy to be on his new tribe, being able to be with his daughter and Samus.
"Tomorrow will be the immunity challenge, so I suggest you make good use of your new tribes, and be ready for anything. See you then!"
Gorunia: Braixen, Chun-Li, Ghirahim, Greninja, and Sheegwa
Kokoria: Aladdin, Brian, Foxy, Pac-Man, and Sheik
Zoruto: Chrom, Lucina, Samus, Shulk, and Waluigi
– – – – –
Zoruto Day 12
Upon returning to camp, Chrom and Samus introduced themselves to the other players.
"Nice to make your acquaintance," introduced Samus, "I'm Samus Aran, bounty hunter. No idea why the two of us were abandoned by Trevor but whatever."
"I expected him to pick Pac-Man, but... eh, I can deal with it." smiled Chrom, shaking Shulk's hand as they met.
"Once I heard Jeff say that the coaches would be picking players off the tribes, I knew Trevor would be picking me. We never got along since Day 1, and since we have no dead weight on our tribe I knew he would kick me off. I'm just lucky I ended up with Chrom, an ally." - Samus
"Glad to have to both here." smirked Lobo, "From what I've observed, you both kick some major ass, and the main man likes that. Lose the attitudes and you'll be fine in my book."
"Whatever." muttered Samus, choosing to ignore Lobo once again.
Chrom watched her walk away and shrugged, "Samus doesn't really like the coaches. She doesn't think they'll help her at all. She's a more lone worker."
"That won't help us here, no sirree!" replied Waluigi, cackling a little.
"I guess I have to thank Trevor for one thing. He got me onto a tribe with my daughter, Lucina. Now, I have no idea what she's been up to in this game, but I can only hope that she's in a good alliance and that I can get into it. Samus is nice, but it's do or die, and she's not helping my case." - Chrom
Waluigi, Lobo, and Samus wandered off to go do their own things. Despite their bad start together, Lobo was showing Samus some nice fishing skills.
During all this time, Shulk, Lucina, and Chrom were talking by themselves in the shelter.
"So father," began Lucina, "I want to let you know that I've been taken good care of out here. This man over here, Shulk? He's been my ally out here."
Chrom blinked, "Wait.. you told everyone about us..?"
Lucina nodded, "Yes. I assume you never told your tribe?"
"Nope.. not at all. Not unhappy about that, don't get me wrong," replied Chrom, "Just a little surprised."
"Now that my father is here on my tribe, I believe now I'm sitting in a good spot right now. Samus and Waluigi are the next two to go in some order, and with Shulk on my side as well, we are sitting in a good seat right now." - Lucina
Shulk smiled, looking at both of them, "Look, I think we're gonna take Samus out before Waluigi. She's not showing good morale right now.. and we need a team. What do you think about that, Chrom?"
Chrom bit his lip, "Well... I don't know. I was aligned with Samus back on Kokoria. But if I need to advance further in the game, I guess it's time to cut bridges."
"We were going to do the same to Sheik before the roulette happened," replied Lucina, "So it makes no difference with us."
"I do think Waluigi is weaker then Samus," explained Chrom, "But whomever you want, I'm going to vote for that person."
"It does hurt to vote off one of my best allies from the original Kokoria tribe, but I did come out here to play the game with Lucina, and concerning my situation right now, it makes more sense for me to vote Samus out now. Still... I have to think about what's right for me and Lucina." - Chrom
– – – – –
Kokoria Day 12
Sheik and Foxy arrived at their new home with the old Kokoria members in Brian, Aladdin, and Pac-Man.
"Welcome to camp Kokoria!" welcomed Pac-Man, showing Sheik and Foxy around, "We got fishing gear... and that's about it for right now. No chickens, or comfort but... it's home!"
"Aye, thank ye y-y-yellow boy." noted Foxy, "This o-o-old pirate will-will-will like it here!"
"The c-c-c-coach kicked me off! When I s-s-s-see- when I see the l-l-l-landlubber again, he sh-sh-sh-shall walk the pl-pl-pl-plank! But f-f-for now, ol' F-f-f-f-Foxy will make d-d-d-do! Just g-g-g-gotta keep the pirate's pr-pr-pr-promise!" - Foxy
Sheik nodded, "As long as we win challenges, we'll show that moron he made the wrong choice in getting rid of me."
"That shouldn't be a problem!" reassured Pac-Man, "I mean, yeah we lost some muscle, but I think if we keep a good attitude, we'll win!"
"Aye, leave th-th-th-that to me, laddie!" replied Foxy, raising his hook hand in the air, "A p-p-p-pirate is strong, sh-sh-sharp, and confident!"
As Foxy, Sheik, and Pac-Man spoke, Brian turned to look at Aladdin with a big smile on his face, "My words cannot express how happy I am right now."
Aladdin chuckled, "I'm sure you are!"
"Oh my God! Thank God for Trevor, man. He got rid of Samus and Chrom; two people who wanted my hand on a silver platter, and where the feelings were mutual. Now I have Pac-Man, who I know I can trust, and if we get Aladdin, that's three, boom." - Brian
Brian looked up at Aladdin, "So... sticking together all Kokoria..? I mean, Sheik can't be trusted, and Foxy is just a living prop to me."
Aladdin nodded, "Oh yeah, that much is certain."
"So today, Chrom and Samus were removed from my tribe, and both were put on Zoruto. At this point, I guess now is the time to branch out, bring in Pac-Man, bring in Brian, and let's do it. I'm ready to play and control the votes! As long as Kokoria sticks together, we'll be absolutely fine." - Aladdin
"Good to hear man," smirked Brian, fist pumping with Aladdin.
Back with Pac-Man, Sheik, and Foxy, they sat down in the shelter for another chat.
"Save that an-an-anger for the ch-ch-ch-challenge, lassie!" explained Foxy, looking at a rather irritated Sheik, "It sh-sh-shall- it shall be y-y-y-your energy."
"What he said." smiled Pac-Man.
Sheik nodded, "I know. Thank you."
"Lobo made the wrong mistake in removing me from the tribe. Just because I can't be trusted? Give me a break. Waluigi has done far more untrustworthy things then I have, and yet he stays? That can't sound right to me." - Sheik
– – – – –
Gorunia Day 12
Sheegwa didn't want to look at Sweet Tooth, for he had just kicked her off of Gorunia. But for now, Sweet Tooth didn't seem that upset about the roulette.
But the one who was most irritated was Ghirahim, who felt like his entire game shattered because of his coach.
"Agh! What an idiot! What a despicable, moronic, selfish bigot! Choosing your team over someone as fabulous and as wonderful as me? I lost Foxy, and Sheegwa's back on this tribe. Now I have to do damage control, and I don't like that! Waste of time, I say!" - Ghirahim
"Well.. I'll try to forgive Sweet Tooth," sighed Sheegwa, "But... at least this tribe hasn't really changed all that much."
Chun-Li nodded, "Yep! All you really got was me over that broken looking animatronic. Good trade, guys?"
"I do say so myself that it was a good trade," smirked Ghirahim, putting on a show, "I for one am glad Foxy is gone."
"And I bet we'll be even stronger with you, Chun-Li." smiled Braixen.
"So the tribe I ended up joining was Gorunia, and I actually like this tribe! The two pokemon seem to be very likable players. Ghirahim is a little creepy but he seems to mean well. Sheegwa is cute and nice, but I know that if there is any weak links, it's her." - Chun-Li
Sweet Tooth walked up to talk with the group, "I just want to say, especially to you, Sheegwa, that I was merely choosing the two who were the weakest links. You cannot deny that, you know."
Sheegwa nodded, looking away, "Yeah.. I suppose.."
"But you are far more useful then Foxy ever was," continued Sweet Tooth, "So be glad for that."
"Sweet Tooth did pick me to leave the tribe and I found it very awkward to walk back into camp with him. However, he did come clean and told me what his reasons were, and I do forgive him but... it's still kinda awkward for me. That's all." - Sheegwa
A little while later, Sheegwa, Chun-Li, and Sweet Tooth left the area, and Ghirahim walked over to talk with Braixen and Greninja.
"I just want to let you two know that I meant it when I said that I would vote Foxy out next. Just be aware of that." explained Ghirahim.
"Then... why did Sheegwa tell us that you wanted one of us out instead of Foxy?" asked Braixen, studying Ghirahim's body language.
"Oh that? Hah ha!" chuckled Ghirahim, "I was merely only telling the kitty cat what she wanted to hear... she believed she was the next to go, the poor thing."
"The lies spew from the demon's mouth horribly. While I do not trust Sheegwa any more then I do Ghirahim, I know what he's saying is false. He knows he's been playing a very villainous game, and I believe Foxy being removed exposed him for the liar that he is." - Greninja
"Ninja?" asked Greninja, wanting to know if Ghirahim was telling the truth. Braixen looked at Ghirahim, "Is that the truth?"
"Of course," nodded Ghirahim, "Foxy was always going next... and then I was going to hold my promise to you both. I would never break a promise. Believe that." He grinned at him, flicking his long tongue out.
After a little more discussion, Ghirahim left the two pokemon be.
"I've done my work, and I shall continue to make them see the truth. Was Foxy next to go? Only if Sheegwa turned her back on me, I would hold true to that promise! Otherwise, it would have been Greninja out the door. Bahh.. if I'm the next to go, I will hold Sweet Tooth responsible." - Ghirahim
– – – – –
"Come on in guys!"
All three tribes arrived at the challenge area.
"Guys ready for today's immunity challenge?"
Everyone nodded excitedly.
"I'll take back immunity from both Kokoria and Gorunia."
Aladdin and Braixen both did so.
"For today's challenge, each tribe will have one player wrapped around a pole. With two opposing players on each tribe, the opposing tribes will attempt to drag you off the pole, and across the finish line. This will get very physical. First tribe to score earns two points, second tribe to score earns one point. By the end of three rounds, the tribe with the least amount of points loses immunity, and goes to tribal council. Coaches, you will be in charge of choosing who does what, okay? Let's get started."
Kokoria
Offense: Foxy and Pac-Man
Defense in order: Aladdin, Sheik, Brian
Gorunia
Offense: Braixen and Sheegwa
Defense in order: Chun-Li, Greninja, Ghirahim
Zoruto
Offense: Lucina and Waluigi
Defense in order: Chrom, Shulk, Samus
"Okay first off! Aladdin, Chun-Li, and Chrom are the first ones to go for defense! Kokoria will go for Chun-Li, Gorunia against Chrom, and Zoruto will try to pry off Aladdin. Survivors ready? GO!"
All six players on offense ran out to try and pull the players back across the starting line. Chun-Li was able to use her strong legs to pin Pac-Man down from grabbing her. She did not think about Foxy however, as his hook grabbed her arm and pulled her away from Pac-Man. She tried to pin Foxy down after. Despite having worn out machinery, he was still made of metal, and Chun-Li found it hard to take Foxy down.
Chrom easily put up a good fight against the weak Sheegwa, and Braixen didn't have much luck trying to beat him either. Either way, Chrom was putting up a strong fight against Gorunia. For Zoruto, Aladdin also put up a good fight against Waluigi and Lucina.
In the end, Foxy dragged Chun-Li across the finish line, earning Kokoria two points. Second place...
…
…
...went to Zoruto.
"Kokoria scores two points! Zoruto earns one point, while Gorunia trails with zero. Move onto round 2!"
Chun-Li wasn't happy that she was bested by an animatronic, not knowing that Foxy has had no trouble in dragging humans to kill in the past. Braixen and Sheegwa knew they needed to make the next round worth it.
"Up next for defense we have Sheik, Greninja, and Shulk! This time, Kokoria will go for Shulk, Gorunia will go for Sheik, and Zoruto will go for Greninja. Gorunia, if you come in last again, the challenge is over, you go to tribal council. Survivors ready? GO!"
Once again, Foxy proved to be an asset in this physical challenge. The grip he had on his hook hand, and given how heavy he was proved to be a major asset. Shulk did give him more challenge then Chun-Li, but with Pac-Man's help, Shulk stood no chance to stop Kokoria.
For Gorunia, they needed to drag Sheik back, or else tribal council awaited them. Compared to Chrom, Sheik was lighter, and easier to fight back. Sheegwa pulled hard on Sheik, while Braixen tried to keep Sheik's arms from gripping the pole again.
For the Zoruto group, Waluigi had a clever plan to put Greninja in pain, and step on her tongue. However, Greninja anticipated this, and grabbed Waluigi's foot just as it was about to step on her tongue. Greninja fought back harder then Aladdin did for Zoruto.
Kokoria easily dragged Shulk to the finish mat, while second went to...
…
…
...Gorunia.
"KOKORIA SCORES AGAIN! NO WAY THEY CAN LOSE, KOKORIA WINS IMMUNITY!"
All of Kokoria hugged and cheered.
"Gorunia stays alive, and now we're moving onto the final round where we will have one winner and one loser. Let's get set up for the final round."
Ghirahim and Samus were next up to be on defense.
"Ghirahim and Samus are up for defense, with Gorunia going for Samus, and Zoruto going for Ghirahim. This is it! Survivors ready? GO!"
Braixen, Sheegwa, Waluigi, and Lucina raced out to begin prying off the players from their poles. Both Ghirahim and Samus fought very hard. Ghirahim was able to break free from Waluigi's lanky grip every time, while Samus was able to kick Sheegwa away every time she tried to pull on her feet.
While both players fought hard, only one tribe was able to drag one to the finish...
…
…
…
…
…and it was Gorunia who managed to get Samus across before Zoruto.
"SAMUS IS ACROSS! GORUNIA WINS IMMUNITY!"
All of Gorunia hugged and cheered.
"Kokoria, you continue to dominate in challenges, congratulations! Gorunia, you continue to be second best, but here that means no bad and you're safe as well! Zoruto, sadly, you've got a date with me at tribal council, and someone will be going home. See you then."

Zoruto Day 13
With tribal council looming, both Chrom and Samus were feeling on the outside, being newcomers to the Zoruto tribe.
Samus looked up at Chrom, "I know exactly how we can save ourselves. We need to split up Shulk and Lucina. Waluigi is the clear swing vote. If we vote the moron off, it'll be two against two."
Chrom nodded, leaning against a tree, "I suppose so... Shulk then?"
Samus shook her head, "No. It has to be Lucina. She's weaker then Shulk as it is, and we need Shulk for challenges."
"Chrom and I are on the outside, and we need to find a crack to stay alive. Waluigi seems like an easy vote, but we need him. We need him on our side in order to prevent a 2-2 vote. Also, I have a feeling there's something between Lucina and Chrom, and I want her out before anything can happen." - Samus
Chrom bit his lip and looked away, "Uhh... I guess so. Do you think we can trust Waluigi to, well... keep his mouth shut?"
"He has to, or he'll be the next to go. Look, I know you're concerned, but trust me. If I go home, you're following me out the door. We need to work together." explained Samus.
"I know... and yes, we need to." agreed Chrom, shaking Samus' hand, but still having second thoughts.
"Would it be a big move, voting off my own daughter? Or should I vote off one of my closest allies so far in this game? I have no idea and I probably won't know until I write down a name at tribal council. This will likely be the hardest vote of the game." - Chrom
After splitting up from Samus, Chrom wandered off back to camp, and sat down in the shelter. A few moments later, Shulk and Lucina showed up.
"I'm going to warn you both now... Samus wants Lucina out." explained Chrom.
Lucina shook her head, "Whatever.. then that means she's going home then. What, does she think she can get Waluigi on board? Not happening."
Shulk nodded, "Yeah.. he doesn't like Samus one bit from what I can tell."
"So Chrom told us that Samus is voting off Lucina, and I can't let that happen. Originally, we were split between Samus and Waluigi, but now we need to take action and vote Samus off. At least it's competition we won't have at the merge." - Shulk
"Is that fine with you, Chrom?" asked Shulk, "Willing to vote off Samus? Waluigi is next, so don't feel like this will be a mistake, okay?"
Chrom nodded, "I know, Shulk... thank you."
"My father is a complicated man at times, but I know he's reasonable and makes good decisions. I know he had an alliance with Samus, but now's the time to make a change, and move on from old allegiances. Especially for me, his daughter." - Lucina
Before leaving for tribal council, Chrom walked down to the beach, and noticed Waluigi. He shook his head and approached him, "Say... Waluigi? Could we talk for a moment?"
"Ehhh, what do you need?" muttered Waluigi, looking over his shoulder.
"I don't want to lose what I've made with Samus, but I don't want to lose Lucina either. So tonight... I have to drop one loyalty. Having my daughter in the game could be my downfall... but maybe it won't be. Whatever the case, I need to make it happen now." - Chrom
– – – – –
The Zoruto tribe arrived at tribal council.
"Seems like no matter who's on your tribe, you seem to be on the short end of the stick. Samus, coming from a tribe that has dominated for most of the game, how does it feel to be on Zoruto?" asked Jeff.
"Not fun at all. I love winning, not losing. Especially since I'm not an original member of Zoruto, so of course I'm feeling the pressure." replied Samus.
"Shulk, Zoruto will be back to only four players after tonight, so what do you do to prevent a fourth loss?" asked Jeff.
Shulk thought about it.
"Well Jeff, we need a strong tribe, and a united tribe. If we're not either, then we're toast once it comes down to the serious parts, which will be in several days from now." replied Shulk.
"Chrom, how do you vote tonight?" asked Jeff.
Chrom took a deep sigh.
"With my gut, Jeff. That's what I have." replied Chrom.
Samus looked over at him, as did Lucina.
"Okay, it's time to vote, Samus, you're up."
– – –
Chrom's Vote: I'm sorry... (?)
Lucina's Vote: It's you or me, and I much rather it be you. (Samus)
Samus' Vote: I hope Chrom doesn't flip... I have a feeling there's something he's hiding. (Lucina)
– – –
"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, Samus. (She nodded, crossing her arms.)
…
Lucina. One vote Lucina, one vote Samus.
…
…
Samus. Two votes Samus, one vote Lucina. (Chrom looked away, while Samus looked over at Waluigi.)
…
…
Fifth person voted out of Survivor Lake Hylia, Samus. That's three, that's enough. You need to hand me your torch.
Samus rolled her eyes, and grabbed her things and her torch without a word.
"Samus, the tribe has spoken."
He snuffed out her torch.
"Time for you to go."
She nodded, leaving without much else to say.
"Well, like she said in the beginning of tribal council, it seemed likely that the old Zoruto tribe would stick together, and it certainly did. We shall see if it stays that way. Grab your torches, and head on back. Good night."

Samus' Final Words
"With only one vote for Lucina showing, that means Chrom betrayed me, and of course he will feel karma when he's the next to go. I don't feel like I did a good job in the 13 days I've been out here, as it feels too soon to go home. Whatever, at least I don't have to hear Lobo's voice anymore. Thank God."
VOTE
Lucina – Samus
Samus – Lucina, Waluigi, Shulk, and Chrom
For Greninja's reveal, I understand that there was a character named Hash in Survivor Fan Characters 13 that had a similar reveal. However, Hash's reveal was more centered on the fact that she was a girl. Greninja's was centered on the fact that she can speak English.
Next episode is a double boot! Who will survive, and what tribe will be spared from the dreaded double boot?
