Previously on, Survivor,
Stryker knew he was on the hot seat, so he tried his best to fit in, and win challenges for his tribe. He eventually found the hidden immunity idol.
At Outworld, Kano's outburst made Limberg and Sindel nervous about Sektor having the hidden immunity idol. This made Limberg suggest voting off Sheeva as a diversion, and hopefully have Sektor waste the idol. This only made Sindel more nervous and suspicious of Limberg.
At the Redemption Island duel, Kenshi won his second duel, and sent both Kabal and Kano home.
Back at Earthrealm, Stryker decided to get in good with his tribe, showing them the hidden immunity idol. He wanted to use it for the sake of defeating Outworld. Nightwolf, however, had other plans. He secretly convinced Stryker to trust him and give him the idol, and in return, Nightwolf would fight for Stryker to stay. Stryker was hesitant, but decided to do what Nightwolf suggested.
Sindel later told Sheeva about what Limberg wanted to do. This aggravated Sheeva greatly, but Sindel soothed her down, telling her that Limberg would soon find his end. Confusion revolved around Sektor, as he took turns staying in the forest, and turns hanging around camp. No one knew if he had the idol, and Jade was heavily concerned about him.
At the immunity challenge, it came close, but Outworld edged out Earthrealm to win another immunity challenge.
Before tribal council, Nightwolf spoke with Raiden and Angry Video Game Nerd about blindsiding one of the two Lin Kuei ninjas; Sub-Zero or Smoke. Raiden thought it was a little too early for betrayal, but he considered it.
At tribal council, Nightwolf voted to keep Stryker in and casted a vote towards Smoke. However, it wasn't enough, as Angry Video Game Nerd and Raiden both voted for Stryker, sending him to Redemption Island. 11 are left, who'll be sent to Redemption Island tonight?
Earthrealm: Angry Video Game Nerd, Nightwolf, Raiden, Smoke, and Sub-Zero
Outworld: Ermac, Jade, Limberg, Sektor, Sheeva, and Sindel
Redemption Island: Kenshi and Stryker

Redemption Island Night 14
Stryker walked into Redemption Island, shaking his head in disbelief. He saw Kenshi by the fire, and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Got duped!" chuckled Stryker, "I had the idol, and I gave it up, hoping to trust Nightwolf!"
Kenshi raised an eyebrow, looking at Stryker, "Seriously? I wouldn't think Nightwolf would do such a thing."
"I think he meant it though, just wasn't enough persuading on his end..." shrugged Stryker.
"I'm out of the game, and on Redemption Island, ready to face Kenshi in a duel. Not sure what it'll be, but I'm ready to get back in this." - Stryker
– – – – –
Earthrealm Day 15
Upon return to camp, Smoke was still a little surprised to see his name written down twice.
He looked over at Sub-Zero, "Did you hear anything about voting me out last night?"
Sub-Zero shook his head, "Not that I was aware of... that deeply concerns me."
"Last night at tribal council, Smoke got two votes. Obviously Stryker voted against him, but who was the second one? Someone attempted to break the alliance, and on Lin Kuei terms, that is unacceptable." - Sub-Zero
"What can we do now?" asked Smoke, "Those three are a tight group. We were doomed from the start."
Sub-Zero sighed, nodding, "I agree. I think we should've aligned with Kabal and Stryker. At least with them we would be even 2-2. The odds are stacked against us."
"I think... it was Raiden." replied Smoke.
"As Nightwolf told us, Raiden was weary to trust myself and Sub-Zero. He is the likely suspect for the second vote, based on what we know." - Smoke
"We cannot lose this next challenge," said Sub-Zero, firmly, "If we lose, Outworld will be one up in numbers, and that spells disaster for Earthrealm, especially if we combine into one."
Smoke nodded, before getting into a Lin Kuei pose, bowing, "Be stealthful as the night."
Sub-Zero also got into pose, and bowed, "And deadly as the dawn."
"I will not allow Raiden to interfere. If we can just win one more challenge... then the merge will be just around the corner." - Sub-Zero
Meanwhile, Nightwolf, AVGN, and Raiden were talking around the campfire.
Nightwolf looked at the idol in his hand, before placing it in his leather jacket, "At least we still have the idol. That will be our advantage against Outworld."
"And a #$%#ing great one at that," commented AVGN, "But we have to be careful. That god damn puppet mouse might have one."
"Having the idol is one of the greatest things in Survivor. The downside is that we could probably waste it. But..." (points at himself) "...THIS $#%#ing nerd knows his stuff, and Outworld will eat our dirt!" - Angry Video Game Nerd
"I don't want to lose anymore," explained Raiden, "I look like a fool walking out to a challenge with only five Earthrealm warriors. I can't imagine four."
AVGN shrugged, "We'll kick their asses, Raiden, no worries!"
"Do not get overconfident, Angry Video Game Nerd. Overconfidence could bring us down." warned Nightwolf.
"My alliance has the hidden immunity idol, and if ever we were to lose another challenge, one of the two Lin Kueis will be going to Redemption Island." - Nightwolf
– – – – –
Outworld Day 15
Sheeva, Jade, and Sindel were all hanging out in the forest. Sheeva was reading the clue to the hidden immunity idol that Sindel gave her.
"This confuses me," commented Sheeva, scratching her head, "There isn't much information regarding its location..."
"Or maybe because you aren't as bright as we are, shokan." smirked Jade, teasing Sheeva.
Sheeva growled, "What was that, human?"
"Stop. No time for petty jokes or fights. Come, we must get our hands on that idol." said Sindel, walking away, snatching the clue right out of Sheeva's hand. Both Jade and Sheeva followed her.
"Sektor better have that idol, because that will make for a great excuse to vote off that mouse. I don't trust him one bit after he suggested voting Sheeva off. I will not deal with backstabbers." - Sindel
All three women started to individually search for the hidden immunity idol. Sheeva was digging through dirt with all four hands, Sindel was looking through trees, and Jade was peering through bushes.
"It's a rough job, looking for the hidden immunity idol. I wish it didn't have to be this hard, but this is Survivor, so... expect the rough nature of the game." - Jade
Eventually...
…
…
…
...Nothing. Sheeva had dug up 5 different holes, and found nothing.
"See? I told you that that clue wasn't enough." sneered Sheeva.
"Perhaps not," smirked Sindel, looking to Jade, "But perhaps we can get it from Sektor..."
Jade blinked, crossing her arms, "Yes, my Queen?"
"If we cannot get the idol with only one clue, we can get another from Sektor. Fearing a Lin Kuei usually will not do much... but I have a way." - Sindel
"Scare Sektor into giving you a clue to the hidden immunity idol," explained Sindel, "If you tell him that the three of us are planning on voting Limberg out instead of him, we could get the idol before he does."
Jade nodded, "Alright but... what if Sektor has the idol?"
"Then Limberg leaves the game. Could care less really. If he's willing to show us the clue, then we're good." confirmed Sindel.
"My Queen set forth a brilliant plan. She wants Jade to get the clue from Sektor, and use it to get our hands on the idol before he does. If Sektor already has it... goodbye Limberg." - Sheeva
But behind one of the trees, someone was listening in, and he did not say a word to them or anyone at the moment...
– – – – –
"Come on in guys!"
Both tribes had to send in 2 people from their tribe to come and watch the duel at hand. Earthrealm chose Sub-Zero and AVGN, and Outworld chose Ermac and Sektor.
"We'll now bring in the competitors for today's duel."
Kenshi and Stryker both walked out into the duel arena.
"Welcome to Redemption Arena. Sub-Zero, Angry Video Game Nerd, Ermac, and Sektor have all come to watch you compete in the challenge."
"At this point, it doesn't really #$%#ing matter who returns to the game. Kenshi is 100% on our side, and I think Stryker might be convinced to return." - Angry Video Game Nerd
"It is a good feeling watching Earthrealm warriors partake in kombat. We get great pleasure watching the other tribe suffer." - Ermac
"This is it. One shot to stay in the game. Winner stays and the loser is out for good. Here's how the challenge works: you each will have 4 pucks in the middle of the board. Each round you will use a separate puck to try and knock off your opponent's pucks. First person to knock out all four of the enemy pucks, stays alive in this game. Loser is out for good. This is it, one shot to stay in the game. Let's get started."
"Another Earthrealm competitor today. Just like with Kabal, it will be a hard battle for me. However, I am not ready to give up. I may be blind, but I'm not a quitter." - Kenshi
"Shuffleboard was a common activity for policemen to settle down and play around with. I was fairly good at it, and I feel like this is my chance to shine." - Stryker
Kenshi had red pucks, while Stryker had blue pucks.
"Stryker won the rock paper scissors, and will go first."
Stryker threw the puck hard into the center, separating all eight pucks out onto the board with the force of his throw.
Kenshi went next, and aimed his next shot perfectly towards one of the blue pucks. With ease, Kenshi forced Stryker's first puck off the table.
Stryker wasn't nervous, and aimed for a red puck. He barely missed it.
Kenshi aimed for another one of Stryker's pucks. He misplaced a shot, and actually sent one of his own pucks off the edge, and another puck just barely hanging.
"That isn't good.." noted Sub-Zero, watching closely.
Stryker smirked, and aimed for that hanging puck. While he did knock the puck off the edge, he accidentally knocked one of his own pucks off the board, evening up the scores.
"Very close right now." commented Ermac.
Kenshi wiped some sweat off his forehead, and aimed for another blue puck. This time he was more successful. Stryker only had one puck left.
Stryker was a little nervous now as he aimed his next target. He knew his last puck was near the edge, and one push would send it into the deep and he's out. Stryker wanted to find a way to prevent Kenshi from making that move. He made his shot... and missed.
Kenshi knew what his next move is, and he...
…
…
…
…made it.
"And with that, KENSHI STAYS ALIVE!"
Everyone clapped for Kenshi.
"Once again, Kenshi, you seized the moment, and you are still in this game. Sadly, Stryker, the game is over for you. You can take off your buff, and throw it into the urn."
Stryker sighed a little as he took his light blue buff off his arm, tossing it into the fire before leaving.
"Kenshi, you may return to your camp and await the next duel. As for the others, you may return to your own camp. I'll see you at the immunity challenge."
– – – – –
Stryker's Final Words
"I came out here to win, and bring home a victory for Earth. Sadly, I didn't do as well as I thought I could of, and I made some big mistakes. If I had a second chance, I would find that idol, and NEVER give it up, even to an ally. No one can be trusted in Survivor."
– – – – –
Earthrealm Day 16
Sub-Zero took Nightwolf into the forest to discuss a few things.
"I wanted to suggest something to you, because I am unsure of my current status." said Sub-Zero, carrying wood in his arms.
Nightwolf nodded, "That is unfortunate, Sub-Zero, but it is also true."
"That is why I seek your help, Nightwolf," said Sub-Zero, looking over at him, "If we take Raiden out before we combine with Outworld. He is too powerful."
"I made my plea out to Nightwolf, as out of the other three I trust him the most. I heavily believe that he can probably save myself and Smoke." - Sub-Zero
Nightwolf shook his head, "Raiden would be a big mistake. If you want to guarantee yourself more days in this game, you need to rally votes to get Angry Video Game Nerd out. He isn't as powerful as Raiden."
"I know that, but he has experience with this game," replied Sub-Zero, "Raiden does not. What if the Nerd goes, and we end up falling to Outworld?"
"Then it was meant to be." said Nightwolf rather solemnly.
"I will never turn my back on Angry Video Game Nerd or Raiden. However, I want to make Sub-Zero and Smoke feel more comfortable rather than be paranoid. It will be a hard task, but I believe it can be done." - Nightwolf
Nightwolf sighed, "I don't want to worry about this, Sub-Zero. We need to win this next immunity challenge. If we don't, Outworld will have more warriors to face. We stand no chance."
Sub-Zero agreed with him, nodding a little before leaving the forest with him.
"Nightwolf's right. If I want to secure my place in this game, we need to win this next challenge. If Earthrealm loses, that could be the end of me." - Sub-Zero
Meanwhile, Raiden and AVGN were having a chat in the shelter.
"I don't know what you know about me," explained AVGN, "But know this, I don't betray people. I am not Limberg. He is the $#%#ing betrayer."
"Did he do that to you?" asked Raiden, curiously.
AVGN shook his head, "Oh no, he just #%$#ing switched the vote up and got someone to use the idol against me. Damned mouse..."
"I keep having visions about losing to Limberg again. I don't $#%#ing want that this season. Regardless if I win or not, I want that mouse to be eliminated before I am. I will be #$%#ing PISSED otherwise." - Angry Video Game Nerd
– – – – –
Outworld Day 16
Jade decided to follow Sektor into the forest this morning. He was out searching for the idol, as he normally did daily.
Sektor scanned out the location with his sensors, trying to find anything unusual.
"Some of the instructions the Grandmaster gave me regarding the hidden immunity idol included searching in suspicious areas. I need that immunity idol, it's now or never." - Sektor
Sektor walked over to a tree hole, and reached his arm up the tree, but found nothing. That was when Jade interrupted him.
"Well, well, well... what do we have here?" smirked Jade, "A cyborg looking for something in a tree?"
Sektor wasn't startled by Jade, but surprised to see her, "What are you doing, human?"
Jade crossed her arms, "Nothing antagonistic, believe me. I was wondering if we could cut a deal?"
"Yesterday, Queen Sindel asked me to interrogate Sektor, and get our hands on a clue to the idol. However, if memory serves me right, he burned the clue. Hopefully, he'll just tell me the clue verbally." - Jade
"A deal? Of what kind?" asked Sektor, already suspicious.
"First off, I'll be honest, the three women, myself, Queen Sindel, and Sheeva, all want Limberg out of here," explained Jade, "We do not trust him, and we think it's for the best that he leaves. Also, I'm sure looking for the idol isn't enough just by yourself."
Sektor was interested, but still kept his guard.
"Jade, Sheeva, and Sindel apparently want to keep me around, and vote off Limberg. I'm still not convinced I'm safe. The idol guarantees my safety, and Jade is correct. More help would be appreciated. But... she won't need to." - Sektor
Sektor crossed his arms, "I can sense you are being sincere. Then I will be too. I already have the idol."
Jade blinked, raising an eyebrow, "Really now? Interesting. Any reason why you're still out here appearing to be searching for it?"
"Can't let you think I have it, now can I?" replied Sektor.
"According to Sektor, he already does indeed have the hidden immunity idol. This takes... things into another level. Sindel says that's the end of Limberg, but part of me wants to test Sektor's honesty." - Jade
"You have a point..." noted Jade, "Well then, guess I'll be on my way then. You know who to vote for."
With that said, Jade walked away. Sektor then turned around and kept looking for the idol once Jade was out of sight.
"Jade believed my lie, and if she's being honest, Limberg will be voted off if we lose the challenge. That gives me more time to actually find the idol." - Sektor
Meanwhile, Limberg was lying in the shelter, pondering things.
"First time I played the game, I played a very cutthroat game, and I stabbed people in the back if they posed as threats to me, squinky. This time around? My third time out here? I got to be careful. What I did to others in Distant, could happen to me out here on Edenia." - Limberg
– – – – –
"Come on in guys!"
Both tribes entered the challenge area.
"Guys ready for today's immunity challenge?"
Everyone nodded.
"I'll take back immunity from Outworld.
Ermac did so.
"For today's challenge, three tribe members will assemble a wheelbarrow, and load it up with coconuts. Once the wheelbarrow is assembled and filled with coconuts, you will maneuver it through obstacles. Once you've finished that, the other two tribe members will take the wheelbarrow apart, and use the parts to create a slingshot. Using the coconuts, you will launch them into three targets. First tribe to knock all three targets down wins immunity and reward.
"For your reward, you will leave here, and be taken to a waterfall, where you will enjoy a nice picnic lunch. Should be a great afternoon. Let's get started."
Earthrealm
Building: AVGN, Smoke, and Sub-Zero
Shooting: Nightwolf and Raiden
Outworld
Building: Limberg, Sektor, and Sheeva
Shooting: Ermac and Jade
"Survivors ready? GO!"
Both tribes got to work assembling the wheelbarrow. AVGN rolled pieces into place while Sub-Zero and Smoke held it together. Sheeva easily got the wheelbarrow assembled with Sektor's help, while Limberg tried to help, but Sheeva did her best not to allow him to. Either way, both tribes finished their wheelbarrows, and got off to an early start.
Throughout the course, both tribes were even throughout the obstacles. Smoke and Limberg were nimble enough to help pull the wheelbarrow through tight places. Both tribes managed to get their wheelbarrows to the two shooters.
Raiden and Jade assembled the wheelbarrow into a slingshot, and both Nightwolf and Ermac took the first shots.
…
Nightwolf connected, while Ermac's slightly flew off course. Raiden and Jade went up next to shoot.
…
Raiden connected, while Jade's coconut smashed into the bottom part of the target, chipping it but not breaking it. Nightwolf and Ermac went up again.
…
…
This time, Ermac connected, while Nightwolf's was just a little short. Raiden and Jade went up to shoot their coconuts...
…
…
…
…
...Both coconuts hit their targets, but Earthrealm had all three targets broken.
"RAIDEN DOES IT IN! EARTHREALM WINS IMMUNITY AND REWARD!"
All of Earthrealm hugged and cheered.
"Great work, Earthrealm! It came close, but overall, you were better overall at shooting, and you are all safe for the night. Along with immunity, you also win reward. You all may head out on your reward. As for you, Outworld? Nothing much to say, tribal council tonight. Another tribe member will be leaving and sent to Redemption Island. See you all tonight."
– – – – –
Reward Day 17
The Earthrealm tribe arrived at the waterfall, smiling at the nearby picnic lunch.
"Now this is what we've been fighting for the last few days!" wooted AVGN, taking a seat next to the picnic basket.
"Good job today," smiled Nightwolf, looking at all of his tribe members, "We were strong today, and tonight another Outworld warrior will leave."
"Today at the challenge, Earthrealm pulled through, and got a victory. A well needed one at that. No one will be leaving the tribe tonight, and that is a blessing." - Nightwolf
Everyone sat around the picnic and started feasting on the many sandwiches, wine, fruits, and nuts within.
Raiden held up a glass of rare red wine, "To Earthrealm."
"To Earthrealm." said the other four tribe members, before clinking their glasses with Raiden's.
"Winning the challenge meant more to me then just winning. If we hadn't of won, I would've been voted off tonight. I needed to prevent that." - Smoke
As they were eating, Raiden's pure white eyes got the attention of a note inside the picnic basket. He figured it was a clue to the hidden immunity idol.
"Nightwolf already has the idol. It does not make sense for anyone to have their hands on the clue that supports finding it." - Raiden
Just then, Raiden lifted a finger, and shot a bolt of lightning from it, zapping the clue and making it evaporate. Everyone was startled at the action.
"Whoa! What the #$%#, man!?" freaked AVGN.
Raiden held a hand up, "Calm down, Angry Video Game Nerd... it was only an ant."
AVGN blinked before rolling his eyes, and started to eat his lunch again.
– – – – –
Outworld Day 17
Limberg, Sindel, Sheeva, and Ermac were gathered around the shelter, discussing the vote.
"I mean... it is pretty clear who's leaving tonight," said Limberg, "Sektor's got to go. It's sort of pivotal, squinky."
Ermac nodded, "We agree. Perhaps we could convince him that we're only voting him out to have him defeat the human on Redemption Island?"
"I did have the idea to vote Sheeva off to avoid having Sektor use the idol, if he had it, squinky. However... it just doesn't seem like he has it. It doesn't add up at all." - Limberg
"That could work," nodded Sindel, "That way, should he come back, he thinks twice before siding with Earthrealm."
Limberg sighed, "We needed to win, squinky. We were so close. If we had won, we could've gotten the upper hand at the merge."
Sheeva nodded, looking at Limberg.
"I haven't forgotten what my Queen told me about Limberg. The women of Outworld will discuss this privately before we head to the council. The mouse will think twice before messing with the shokan." - Sheeva
A little while later into the day, Sektor and Ermac were talking.
"We want to tell you this now, before you get surprised," explained Ermac, "The tribe will be voting you out tonight, but not because of alliances or personal reasons."
Sektor crossed his arms, "Then why?"
"We want you to go and defeat the human at Redemption Island. Once he's gone, we can destroy Earthrealm!" smirked Ermac.
"Ermac told me that the tribe will be voting me off tonight. They want me to defeat Kenshi. At this point... I could care less at this point. As long as the two tribes combine and I'm there... my mission will be complete." - Sektor
Sektor nodded, "Very well. If that is my fate, then so be it."
Ermac bowed in front of Sektor for a moment before floating out of the area.
Later into the day, moments before tribal council, Jade, Sheeva, and Sindel were planning for the vote.
"I spoke with Sektor," explained Jade, "And he told me that he has the hidden immunity idol. So I didn't bother getting the clue."
Sindel nodded, "Then this is what we'll do. If he wants to stay, he will play that idol. If he does, Limberg will leave. That way, we won't look like backstabbers."
"I have the slight suspicion that if Limberg is voted off, and he returns from Redemption Island, he will be coming after us. If Sektor does the dirty work for me, and Limberg returns, the mouse goes back in my pocket." - Sindel
"So write Sektor's name down?" asked Sheeva.
Sindel nodded, "Correct. It's a simple execution."
Both Jade and Sheeva bowed to Sindel before the three women left to go get their torches.
– – – – –
The Outworld tribe arrived at tribal council.
"It's been a few days since a member of Outworld was voted out. Sindel, how has Outworld improved since Kano was voted off?" asked Jeff.
"It has improved a lot. We are now more unified, we are more confident. We have what it takes to eliminate Earthrealm." replied Sindel.
"Jade, you seem to be fitting in quite well with this group. Tell me, are you safe tonight, in your mind?" asked Jeff.
Jade nodded.
"Very safe, Jeff. I've been doing my fair share of the work at both camp and in the challenges. Earthrealm will be disappointed in themselves for not keeping me." replied Jade.
"Ermac, how are you voting tonight?" asked Jeff.
"There is that human on Redemption Island. We want the strong to eliminate him, and give Outworld a chance to take over come merge." replied Ermac.
"Okay, it is time to vote, Limberg, you're up."
– – –
Limberg's Vote: What's done is done, squinky. Adios. (Sektor)
Sektor's Vote: (says nothing) (Limberg)
– – –
"If anybody has the hidden immunity idol and you would like to play it, now is the time to do so."
No one did anything. Sindel smirked.
"Okay, once the votes are read, the decision is final. Person voted out must leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes."
First vote, Limberg. (He shrugged.)
…
Sektor. One vote Sektor, one vote Limberg.
…
…
Sektor. Two votes Sektor, one vote Limberg.
…
Sektor. That's three votes Sektor, one vote Limberg. (Sektor grabbed his things.)
Seventh person voted out of Survivor Edenia, Sektor. That's four, and it's enough. You need to hand me your torch.
Sektor said nothing as he collected his things, and gave his torch up.
"Sektor, the tribe has spoken."
He snuffed out his torch.
"But you will have a chance to reenter the game. Take your torch, and head on over to Redemption Island."
Sektor nodded, grabbing his torch, and used his jetpack installed on his back to fly out of the area.
"Another tribe member is gone, and now you are even in numbers with Earthrealm. If this is the time to fight in challenge, now's the time to start. Grab your torches, and head on out. Goodnight."
– – – – –
Redemption Island Night 17
Sektor landed at the Redemption Island camp, and looked around as he set his torch next to Kenshi's.
Kenshi noticed the cyborg, and greeted him, "Welcome, Outworlder."
Sektor didn't greet back, instead saying, "You will be facing off against a powerful and fiercesome member of the Lin Kuei, clan of assassins."
"I'm ready for anything." smirked Kenshi, bowing to Sektor.
"All I need to do is defeat Kenshi and anyone else that enters this camp. Once I have returned to the game, my mission will begin, and it won't take long." - Sektor
VOTES
Limberg – Sektor
Sektor – Sheeva, Ermac, Jade, Limberg, and Sindel
Next time on Survivor, the last duel of Round 1 of Redemption Island is about to begin, and either Kenshi or Sektor will return to the game, and merge with the other 10 players.
But what quickly starts as celebration, turns dark in a matter of days. Someone leaves the island without anyone's knowledge, right before a challenge. And then... things get worse for a member of Earthrealm, who is abducted by an unknown force.
Get ready for an intense episode of Survivor: Edenia.
Also, Survivor: Destiny Isles is up and ready for anyone to read. Now, the season won't start until Edenia is complete, but there is a cast list and preview. Enjoy!
