Video Game Survivor Redemption Island Episode 7 A threat like that could remove you from the game
Last time on Survivor…James and Astrid got into a heated argument however James also created a side alliance with Jolteon and Ishi and hoped to add Grayson and Scyther. Scyther defeated Mercer in a come from behind victory to stay alive. In Nightingale Tribe Lucario found the hidden immunity idol but decided not to tell his alliance. Nightingale lost immunity and we sent back to tribal council where Lucario received two more voted but Surge was voted out in a 5-2 vote. Who will be sent to Redemption Island next?
Redemption Island Night 16
Surge walks in and throws his torch on the ground.
"Those jerks better vote out Lucario next." Surge said
"Have some issues with him?" Scyther asked
"Yeah, he backstabbed me and took out Brock and Mercer." Surge said laying in the shelter.
Surge's Confession: I think Mercer underestimated Scyther but I won't. He beat two good players already and I know that he will be tough so hopefully I can take him out and complete my revenge.
"Just don't let it get to you. I am hoping to take out Astrid." Scyther said calmly.
Scyther's Confession: No surprise that Surge is here. He is a tough challenger however his anger for Lucario can be his downfall. But it can work against me too it could motivate him to win.
"Well if I lose I hope that either you are Jolteon win. Someone from our world has to win." Surge said.
Rebellion Tribe Day 17
Astrid was up early fiddling with a machete and looking at James who was sleeping.
Astrid's Confession: Being in the Dark Brotherhood I am trained to kill and I have dozens of kills. Killing James would not make a difference. I would have no regret except that I could possibly win more money. I once had two members of my Dark Brotherhood question and challenge me for leadership. I sent one out on a fake mission to get him killed and I personally killed the other one. I am so tempted to add James to that list.
Nighteye walks over.
"What are you doing?" Nighteye asked carrying a gun.
"Nothing. What are you doing here?" Astrid asked
"I saw your confession. A threat like that could remove you from the game and to be honest you may lose more than money. You do this again and you will be removed from the game…and your world." Nighteye said walking away as someone in the shelter was watching.
"Bastard" Astrid said as the tribe starts to wake. Immediately Jolteon started to talk to the tribe.
Jolteon's Confession: This morning I saw Nighteye the host talking with Astrid on what she said in a confessional. This might be the final nail in her coffin.
Jolteon goes up to Alyx after she wakes.
"I saw something interesting this morning." Jolteon said
"Oh what?" Alyx asked
"Nighteye he came in to talk to Astrid. Something about removing her from the game." Jolteon said
"Oh that is interesting." Alyx said
Alyx's Confession: So now Astrid is not only our next target she is someone that needs to go right away or else she could potentially kill one of us. I hate to do it but if we had a challenge we might just throw it to get rid of her.
Jolteon then went over to tell James and Ishi.
"So that's what I overheard them saying" Jolteon said
"That bitch is gone." James said upset
"I know." Jolteon said
Ishi's Confession: Astrid is no longer my ally official. There has been times in which I wanted and almost killed Grayson but I stopped myself and Astrid wanting to kill one of us is too much. She is done.
After talking with the two Jolteon skips away.
Jolteon's Confession: For over two weeks I really have not played the game. I followed in Scyther's and James's shadow and even though this is a small move since Astrid is already a target but it could show them that I can play the game and not some cute thing that just acts all cute and innocent.
Nightingale Tribe Day 17
Grayson was alone in the tribe.
Grayson's Confession: So I lost Surge last night and it sucks because I am the last left of my alliance. Brock, Mercer, and finally Surge. Mother*beep*ers got us good but I can still do some damage.
Mercer goes up to Revan and Lucario.
"Hey I need to talk to you two?" Grayson said running over
"Yes?" Lucario replied
"I was thinking…well I know that I am next and after I am gone who will be next?" Grayson asked.
"You do have a point but what about the merge?" Lucario asked
"I have Ishi to join us. Listen I don't know where Ishi stands but Ishi will stick by me and I need a couple of allies with me as well." Grayson proposed
"We will think about it" Lucario said as Revan stayed silent.
Revan's Confession: Grayson is on the defense and he is willing to do anything and say anything. Lucario is willing to have his options open but I am not. I need to stay with my goat Miranda.
"Well thank you for listening." Grayson said as he walked away.
"Do you think we should flip?" Revan asked
"No, I think we are solid right now" Lucario said "No need to flip"
Revan's Confession: Lucario is loyal so far. However I am willing to take him out. His game improved greatly since he last played. He is more likeable and despite what Surge says his strategy is better.
Nearby Camp Mordin is talking with Samara and Miranda.
"Was thinking. Lucario and Revan after Grayson is gone and merge does not happen. What to do with them." Mordin said
"Well I like Lucario's attitude this game. And even though he betrayed the alliance in the first vote he stayed loyal and continued to show loyalty while I have no idea where Revan's loyalties lie once Grayson is gone" Samara said
"Well I think we should keep Revan. He never betrayed an alliance." Miranda said sternly.
Mordin's Confession: Grayson is out next target. Once he is gone we need a new target and without anyone left we have to look at the two outsiders. Lucario and Revan. Would not be wise to vote them out but we have no choice.
"Revan is a Sith Lord. In his universe he is the bad guy." Samara said. "It's like us brining in a Reaper into the alliance."
"But he says that he is not all bad. He was betrayed…" Miranda started as Mordin interrupted her.
"We will talk about this more later. The more we talk the more we grow suspicion." Mordin said as the three headed back to camp.
Miranda's Confession: I do not care what Samara thinks. I think Lucario is less loyal than Revan. Revan has no one while Lucario could join up with Jolteon and Scyther if he makes it.
Redemption Island Challenge Day 18
Both Scyther and Surge entered the arena as Alyx and Ishi were representing Rebellion Tribe and Miranda and Mordin were representing Nightingale.
Scyther's Confession: I defeated both Brock and Mercer but Surge is the strongest of the 3 so this will be a bigger challenge but I will win.
Surge's Confession: I have a lot of respect for Scyther if I lose then I lost to a good player but I want to win to get revenge on Lucario.
Alyx's Confession: I really want Scyther to win and come back. I could use him in my alliance and he got screwed over by an idol.
Miranda's Confession: Surge has to lose today. I do not want him to come back and rejoin Grayson.
"Welcome to redemption island. Today's challenge will have you building a massive 500 piece puzzle. However there are 550 pieces so 50 will not be used. In the end the puzzle should look like our logo. Winner stays for another few days and loser goes home for good." Nighteye said pointing to 3 big bad. "So Survivor's ready…go!"
Both Scyther and Surge ran over to the bags and open them up and started on the puzzle.
"*beep* me I hate puzzles. But it annoys others who come to my gym" Surge said dumping a bag out a Scyther just slices them open with his scythes.
10 minutes pass and the puzzles were just starting as frustration is setting in for Surge.
"What the hell made this!" Surge yelled slamming down his table.
"Surge is frustrated already while Scyther is staying silent" Nighteye said
"Complicated puzzle but found pattern. Easy to solve after that" Mordin said whispering to Miranda.
30 minutes into the challenge. Scyther had a small pile of pieces he thinks did not belong as Surge was way behind.
"Surge is struggling with the puzzle and Scyther is making progress." Nighteye said
"Shut up!" Surge yelled at Nighteye.
"And Surge is angry at me. Not my fault. I don't make these things. I just host them" Nighteye joked.
1 hour into the challenge Scyther was half way done as Surge was only a quarter done.
"You have to stay calm!" Alyx said to Scyther.
"I know. Patience is the key!" Scyther said back agreeing with Alyx.
"And Scyther says his first words since the challenge started" Nighteye said
2 hours into the challenge. Scyther only had a few pieces left as Surge was only half way done.
"This challenge seems to be over…" Nighteye said as Scyther puts in the last of the pieces.
"Scyther stays alive!" Nighteye yelled as Surge flips over his table in anger. "Scyther you get to choose someone to have the hidden immunity idol clue."
"Alyx" Scyther said handing the clue to Alyx.
"So Surge anything to say before heading out?" Nighteye asked him.
"Well I am glad to lose to Scyther. And Scyther keep Jolteon safe because if an electric Pokemon does not win I hope you do" Surge said "I am a competitor but if I lose I take it with grace with I respect my challenger and Scyther has my respect. I have hoped to face Lucario but unfortunately I could not. Good luck." Surge said burning his buff and walking away.
"Okay so head back to your camps and see you at immunity" Nighteye said
Surge's Final Words: I was hoping to last a bit longer and make it to the merge. Unfortunately I could not. Lucario I hope you lose and good luck Grayson. You need it.
Rebellion Tribe Day 18
Alyx and Ishi returned to camp.
"So who survived?" Farkas asked cutting a coconut.
"Scyther. Surge is out." Alyx said.
"Good thing to. I want him back." Ishi said "I had it with Astrid."
"Had it with me?" Astrid said coming from the shelter.
Farkas's Confession: Since this morning Astrid has been hiding and plotting. I am just here to keep the peace because if she goes on a kill spree only I am strong enough to take her out. Remember I am a werewolf.
"Listen I like you but ever since you took control you have been acting crazy." Ishi said
"Crazy? I just wanted to win." Astrid replied upset
"So far we have lost half of our challenges and we lucked out a couple of times." Alyx said "We lost Scyther who was essential to winning."
"He was weak" Astrid said
"Not at all challenges. And he's been kicking ass in redemption." Farkas butted in.
Astrid's Confession: If the tribe will turn against me then I will cause chaos. If we lose immunity I will give them a reason to vote me out and I will cause that target to be taken off my head. I will create a fake idol and threaten to play it and take out a strong player or hope that they think I will.
Astrid stormed off as James and Jolteon came back from gathering water.
"What did we miss?" James asked
"Astrid acted like a little child and stormed off. Scyther survived" Farkas said not looking up from his work.
"Yes!" Jolteon cheered
James's Confession: Having Scyther coming back is crucial to my alliance. I know that I have an alliance with everybody here but my main alliance is with the Pokemon. Strangely enough. I thought I was going to ally with the rest of the crew from my world but this alliance works out well.
Astrid was in the forest carving an idol out of wood and using some decorations that she found or acquired.
"This will make them think that it is real" Astrid said.
Astrid's Confession: I have made a fake idol and if we lose immunity the camp will burn…actually I hope it does. I cannot stand any of them and when the merge hits I will flip.
Nightingale Tribe Day 18
Miranda and Mordin came back.
"Surge is out" Mordin said as Grayson walks away hearing the news.
Grayson's Confession: Hearing that Surge was eliminated did not sit well. I know that I am next and I doubt that Lucario or Revan will flip. However unlike some other contestants in previous seasons I will not cause drama or destruction.
Grayson kicked a tree which caused it to fall onto the shelter.
"*beep*" Grayson said seeing what he did by accident.
"Damn it Grayson!" Miranda yelled.
"Don't worry we can fix it" Samara said
Samara's Confession: Grayson will be a liability in the merge. He is the outsider and I know that he will join Ishi and the other tribe. Miranda had some doubts about Lucario but I believe that Lucario will stick with us.
Lucario and Mordin went out of camp together.
"Listen I think that I can possibly bring in Jolteon and Scyther if he makes it to the merge." Lucario told Mordin.
"Interesting proposition. What if Jolteon is part of an alliance?" Mordin asked
"Well at least Scyther might have a reason to come over. He was voted out." Lucario said rubbing the back of his head.
"We will see. I am hoping that they will join so we can have the majority" Mordin said
Mordin's Confession: Being a scientist I have to look through all the possibilities and having the Pokemon join us will benefit us for a few tribal councils but that also gives them a chance to take the Mass Effect Alliance out to. I need to weigh the cause and effects.
"Well just think about it. I want to get farther because I know that I am target in the first merge tribal council. I want to last longer." Lucario said
"Understandable." Mordin said walking away.
Lucario's Confession: As the merge creeps up I grow more and more nervous. I am set to last through the pre merge but when the merge hits it's going to be chaos. So I am a bit freaked out about leaving again. At least we have Redemption Island and I found something a few nights ago but I never showed anyone. I have the idol.
Immunity Day 19
Both tribes entered immunity. It was the same obstacle course only with signs that say "No Grayson".
"Welcome to immunity. As you see we made the obstacle course again. We changed a couple of things this time but it is the same. The tribe will be tethered together with rope and has to go through the obstacle course. There are five obstacles. The first one is going over a balance beam. If one person falls the entire tribe goes back. Second is using two planks to get your tribe across a moat with various islands. There are multiple paths but the islands may not hold everyone. Next is going over and under some logs. Then you have to crawl under some wire in the mud. Finally it is a mile long foot race to the finish. First team that crosses the finish line wins immunity. However only five members can compete and Grayson you are sitting out. Rebellion tribe who will sit out?" Nighteye asked
"I will my balance is not the best" Farkas said
"Okay Farkas take a seat on the bench with Grayson and let's get started" Nighteye said
"Wait what about reward?" Alyx asked
"No reward. We spent that rebuilding this challenge." Nighteye said as the survivors got ready and tired a rope so they were tethered together.
"I am not throwing this" Ishi whispered to Alyx
"I know, we will try" Alyx said back
"Here is the plan. I will bring up the rear with Jolteon on my back. I know Jolteon can do this challenge but 4 of us tethered is better than 5." James said picking up Jolteon and putting her on his back.
"Survivors ready…go!" Nighteye yelled as both tribes starts across the balance beams. No one struggled or slowed down as both tribes got to the second obstacle. Mordin looked over the planks and started to come up with a strategy as Rebellion Tribe started doing trail and error.
"I have it. Give me the planks I will get us across" Mordin said as the two tribes continued to go across the second obstacle. Despite Rebellion Tribe's efforts Nightingale Tribe made it across second obstacle and headed to the logs. As Nightingale was half way across Rebellion Tribe made it across the islands.
"We have to make up time!" Ishi yelled as they got to the logs. Jolteon jumped off of James knowing that she could get past the rest of the obstacles.
"They are catching up! Keep pushing!" Lucario said looking behind him as he was leading Nightingale. Nightingale headed to the wires and started to crawl under them as Rebellion Tribe made up some ground and headed under the wires as well as Revan slowed down Nightingale.
"We got them!" James yelled pushing his body across as fast as he could as Jolteon simply ran under the wires being small enough.
Both tribes emerged from the wires and started running for the finish line. At the finish line Nighteye waited. Soon both tribes ran to the finish line and only one made it across slightly faster.
"Nightingale wins immunity! They are safe!" Nighteye yelled as Nightingale cheered for their victory. "Unfortunately Rebellion Tribe I have nothing for you. See you at Tribal Council" Rebellion Tribe headed back to camp.
Rebellion Tribe Day 19
The tribe came back to camp as Astrid gathered the rest of the tribe.
"Well I know that you are all targeting me. But I can tell you that I am no threat. I have no one. Ishi you are a backstabber. Farkas you are spineless. Alyx you are a terrible leader. And Jolteon you do not have a strategic bone in your body you play too nice." Astrid said
"What about me?" James asked
"You are just a muscle head. Now my vote is going to Jolteon. If Scyther gets to the merge. Him, Jolteon, and Lucario will join up and win this game." Astrid said before walking away.
Astrid's Confession: I plan on doing a few other things but I laid my vote and reason out and hopefully they will heed my warning or else they are all doomed when the merge hits.
"So I guessing that we are still voting out Astrid?" Jolteon asked not intimidated at all.
"Yes, we do not need her staying around." Alyx said
Alyx's Confession: I do not care what Astrid says she is going home. Yes there is a chance that the pokemon could ally together but I trust them more than her and Astrid will switch if she gets to the merge.
"Good, because I am not voting for Jolteon" Farkas said yawning. "Now if you excuse me I need a nap." He continued going towards the shelter. When he got there he found it on fire. "What the hell!?" Farkas yelled running to the shelter.
Farkas's Confession: When I got to the shelter it was on fire. Astrid is burning down the camp. She knows that she is going and will do anything to hurt us.
The rest of the tribe runs up and sees the damage being caused.
"What the *beep*!" James yelled as he went to get some water followed by Ishi and Alyx. Farkas growled.
"Do not turn!" Jolteon said trying to comfort Farkas. "We can not afford to lose you and keep Astrid." She said as Farkas did not turn.
"Thanks, I try to keep my emotions in check." Farkas said the fire was put out but the shelter was ruined.
"Well I guess there is nothing left but to head to tribal council." Alyx said packing up her stuff. "We can rebuild it tomorrow" she said to Farkas as Astrid walked over.
"If you vote me out I will come back in and flip…however if Jolteon goes or if it's a tie I will join you and not flip. You have my word" Astrid said starting to head to tribal council.
Alyx's Confession: I am sure that Astrid will go home however me and Farkas are having second thoughts now. We could flip and vote out Jolteon and possibly take out a threat down the road. If we vote Astrid she could very well come back and take us out. It is better to think of the risks involved in both options.
Tribal Council #7
"Welcome to Tribal Council. Take a seat and let's get started." Nighteye said as the tribe took a seat. "So I am guess we have a lot to talk about with what happened the last few days."
"Yes, well I saw Astrid planning on killing James and you talking to her. So of course I told the entire tribe." Jolteon said
"That was you! You little bitch!" Astrid yelled upset at Jolteon.
"Do not blame me if I need only four hours of sleep." Jolteon said back sticking her tongue out at Astrid.
"So what else happened Farkas?" Nighteye asked
"Well someone, most likely Astrid burned out shelter. I think that she is trying to create chaos and is trying to weaken us if she goes." Farkas said glaring at Astrid.
"Oh please, I am tired of making you guys stronger. Only reason I tried at the challenge is because I am in danger." Astrid said
"Alyx with redemption island in effect this season do you think the returnee would join the other tribe or stick with you." Nighteye asked
"There is no telling what side the returnee would go. I assume that the returnee would flip but then again Scyther was taken out by an idol and if he returns he would join back with us." Alyx replied
"James, as the merge is coming closer. Do you feel that you could be a target?" Nighteye asked
"Yes, me, Farkas, and Ishi are the three strong males on this tribe and I know that we would make good targets." James said
"With that it is time to vote. Alyx you are up first." Nighteye said as Alyx went up and wrote a name down followed by Farkas. Astrid then went up and wrote down Jolteon's name.
"Nothing personal. I rather have James leave but you are my best chance at staying" Astrid said
Jolteon then went up and wrote down a name.
Astrid
"This is for Scyther" Jolteon said. After Jolteon voted James and Ishi votes.
"I will read the votes." Nighteye said getting the urn. "First vote…"
Jolteon
Astrid
Astrid
Astrid
Seventh person voted to Redemption Island…
Astrid
Astrid sighed and brought her torch up. "Astrid the tribe has spoken." Nighteye said as Astrid's torch was snuffed. "But you will have a chance to get back into the game." Astrid walked away.
"Seems like a predictable vote but hopefully it will not come back to bite you when the merge hits. Head back to camp." Nighteye said as the tribe headed back to camp.
Redemption Island
Astrid walks in and laid down in the shelter as Scyther noticed her but did not say a word.
Astrid's Confession: I was voted out which I expected but I will defeat Scyther and win this next duel. I will return and take out everyone from Rebellion Tribe.
Voted for Astrid: Jolteon, James, Ishi, Alyx, Farkas
Voted for Jolteon: Astrid
Next time on Survivor one final duel will determine who will come back into the game as the merge hits. Will Astrid come back to have her revenge or will Scyther come back.
Notes on the booted. Surge was kind of a hard character to write for since I needed someone to oppose Lucario but I also wanted him to have some respect and appreciation towards other Pokemon. Since Brock was voted out early and the others were on the other tribe it was difficult until this episode. But he made for a pretty good character.
So thanks for reading and do not forget to leave a comment.
