Previously on, Survivor,
Kasumi and Samara added Presea to their alliance, and were planning to create a possible tie at the next tribal council. Presea wanted to target Zola, seeing as though she was a threat.
At Volt, the tribe was eating well, and getting along well. After Mossono voted Jack out, Volt had been succeeding in everything.
At the reward challenge, Jeff announced a double tribal council, with two players going home. Volt, yet again, won the challenge. Duck and Zola were the ones sent to Exile Island.
Both Duck and Zola each got a clue for the hidden immunity idol. Duck believed he had everything he needed to go searching for the clue, given Jiro's clue from before.
At Mossono, Kasumi targeted Applejack for elimination, believing her to be a jury threat. Presea, however, did not agree whatsoever.
At Volt, the alliance of Zaeed, Yuri, and Russia planned to split the votes between Jiro and Duck. Zaeed believed that one of them would have the idol used on them. When Duck returned to camp, he and Jiro found the hidden immunity idol.
At the girls' tribal council, Presea sided with the Zola/Applejack/Derpy alliance, and voted Kasumi out of the tribe. She gave immunity to Jiro of Volt.
Due to Jiro's now sudden safety, Yuri and Zaeed changed their votes onto Russia, believing him to be the next weakest after Duck. Duck used the idol, and negated 2 votes against him. 3 votes were casted at Russia, and he was sent packing. Applejack received the immunity. 10 are left, who'll be voted out tonight?
Mossono: Applejack, Derpy, Presea, Samara, and Zola
Volt: Duck, Geno, Jiro, Yuri, and Zaeed

Mossono Day 16
Samara was quite unhappy to see her ally leave tribal council last night.
"Kasumi was a slick individual. Her actions speak for themselves. If I were not aligned with her, I too would've voted for her. It's still okay, though. I have immunity." - Samara
Samara sat by herself near the fire, continuing to alienate herself from the tribe.
Applejack, Zola, Presea, and Derpy were watching her.
"...she's lucky she has immunity around her neck..." noted Presea.
Zola nodded, "Sucks, too. She's such a strong, formidable woman."
"Samara would be on the chopping block, being Kasumi's ally. However, that immunity keeps her safe. This leaves myself, Applejack, and Presea up for grabs should we ever lose a challenge." - Zola
"Ah like Samara and all," replied Applejack, "But ah think she's not going to stay loyal to the girls. Ah just don't think she tries to fit in."
"No," said Presea, "It's possible her justicar code might not allow her to betray us."
Zola shook her head, "I still don't understand the Justicar Code."
"Everyone's worried that Samara will betray the tribe at the first chance she gets. I... don't think she will. From what she's shared with us, her justicar code is very strict on betrayal. Despite her position on Mossono, I think she'll stay loyal." - Presea
Presea turned her backs on the others, "If we lose the challenge... I'm gone."
"What makes you say that?" asked Derpy.
"You all have an alliance, right?" wondered Presea, "You'll all keep Zola and Applejack in over me."
No one made a response.
"Myself, Derpy, and Zola all have an alliance. Samara would be the next to go, but she has the darn immunity. That means, sadly, we have to vote poor Presea out next time we lose. Ah... ah don't want to think about losing another member! We're losing enough as it is!" - Applejack
"Don't think negatively sugarcube," smiled Applejack, "Ah don't think we will lose anytime soon. Ah actually think we're merging any day now!"
Presea slightly smiled, "I... hope so."
"My position on Mossono... isn't good. The individual immunity sort of makes the next vote very predictable." - Presea
– – – – –
Volt Day 16
For once in the game, Zaeed wasn't feeling arrogant nor pissy as he usually was.
"Last night was a tough one for me, personally. Russia was a loyal ally, and I hated to have to vote the poor bastard out. But, if we didn't, Jiro and Duck would've made us weaker, and take Geno out instead." - Zaeed
Yuri and Geno were speaking with Zaeed in one of the maze areas.
"Can I speak to you two?" asked Geno, "It's important that I clear the air."
Both Yuri and Zaeed nodded.
"With my ally gone, I needed to find a new alliance. Knowing that both Yuri and Zaeed are safe until the merge, aligning myself with them might help me out in the long run." - Geno
"Russia and I were in an alliance since maybe... Day 4?" explained Geno, "And now that he's gone, I'm alone in the game. I wanted to clear the air, so that you could possibly trust me."
Zaeed was confused, "Wait... so Russia was your ally?"
Geno nodded.
Zaeed was now pissed, and his opinion of the last vote soon changed, "Well then, screw Russia. 'Cause guess what, Geno? The sly bastard was with me and Yuri."
Geno was surprised, "Really? He didn't say anything about you two."
"Now I understand what, 'Become one with Mother Russia' means. He wanted EVERYONE to become one with him. I don't feel remorse for voting him out anymore. In fact, I'm glad I did." - Zaeed
Yuri shook his head, "Damn. I trusted Russia too. Well, Geno, I trust you. Do you trust us?"
"I will stay loyal to both of you," agreed Geno, lending out a hand.
Yuri shook it, followed by Zaeed.
"We should've recruited Geno into our alliance from the beginning. He is strong, he is loyal, and he's not making multiple deals with everyone in the tribe." - Yuri
"As far as I know," planned Zaeed, "You and Duck are the only members who can be voted off. In that case, we vote Duck off. Got it?"
Geno and Yuri both nodded.
"I trust both Zaeed and Yuri, and I believe we'll do well in the long run. We're 16 days into the game, and we have 10 players left. I'm feeling a merge soon." - Geno
– – – – –
"Come on in guys!"
Both tribes entered the challenge area.
"Mossono, getting your first look at the new Volt tribe. Russia voted out, last tribal council."
Most of the women weren't that surprised.
"Russia had to give away immunity to someone over at Mossono. He chose Applejack to have immunity."
Applejack was happy that she had immunity now. However, Jeff wasn't holding a necklace in his hands.
"However, immunity is no more. Everyone who has it, I need them back now."
Everyone nodded, believing it was merge time. Zaeed, Yuri, Samara, Jiro, and Derpy each gave their necklaces back to Jeff.
"Let's have a little fun for right now. I want each tribe to rank your tribe members in any way you want. I'll give you some time to figure it out."
Mossono was ranked: Zola, Samara, Presea, Derpy, Applejack
Volt was ranked: Yuri, Geno, Zaeed, Duck, Jiro
"Today, you guys are going on a date with someone from the opposing tribe. I have some picnic lunches for each group of 2; 5 total. To decide which tribe picks first: Yuri, Zola, rock paper scissors."
Yuri chose scissors, Zola chose rock. Zola won the right to go first for the girls.
"Zola, pick a guy to share lunch with."
Zola smiled at Jiro, "I'll take Jiro."
Jiro also smiled, and joined up with Zola off to the side.
"Yuri, your turn."
"Hmm... how about Presea?" asked Yuri.
Presea nodded her head, and joined Yuri off to the side.
"Samara's turn."
Samara scanned her options, "Duck."
Duck smiled brightly as he joined Samara off to the side.
"Geno."
Geno looked at the two ponies, "Applejack will be with me."
Applejack nodded, and trotted over to where Geno was.
This left Derpy with Zaeed, neither of which was happy with the other.
"Ok, so our pairs are: Jiro & Zola, Presea & Yuri, Duck & Samara, Applejack & Geno, and Derpy & Zaeed. In the order I called you out in, grab your numbered lunch, find a nice spot, and enjoy your meals."
– – – – –
Jiro & Zola
Zola opened up the lunch to reveal chicken, wine, and two brownies.
"This looks delicious!" smirked Jiro, grabbing one of the chicken wings.
Zola poured wine into the two glasses that came with the lunch.
"Cheers to the Final 10!" smiled Zola. Jiro clinked his glass with hers.
Jiro looked at her, "You doing well?"
Zola nodded, "Never better, old friend."
– – – – –
Presea & Yuri
Yuri opened up the lunch. Inside was some cheeseburgers, two Diet Cokes, and a note.
Yuri read the note aloud, "Swap your buff with your partner. Once your lunch is over, you must join the other tribe..."
Presea was shocked to know that she was moving over to the Volt tribe. She shyly traded buffs with Yuri.
"Now this lunch doesn't feel good at all..." muttered Yuri, "I just wonder if anyone else got this note."
Presea nodded, "I... think so."
– – – – –
Duck & Samara
Samara opened up the lunch to reveal the same contents as Yuri and Presea's. The only thing missing was the note.
"Yeah! Burgers!" cheered Duck, "I've been wanting one of these since the beginning!"
Samara shrugged, grabbing a diet coke, "I rather not eat one of those. You can have them all, if you want."
Duck smiled, "Thanks Samara!"
"My pleasure, friend." replied Samara.
– – – – –
Applejack & Geno
Geno opened up the lunch. Inside the lunch were 4 hot dogs, 2 water bottles, and a note.
Applejack took the note, and read it, "Swap your buff with your partner. Once your lunch is over, you must join the other tribe..."
Geno wasn't happy whatsoever, "Damn."
"Ah hate this... ah was sort of expecting a swap when we haven't merged yet," replied Applejack.
"Let's just hope everything goes well for those who do switch tribes," noted Geno, "This could be bad for us."
– – – – –
Derpy & Zaeed
Zaeed opened the lunch, which was identical to the lunch Geno and Applejack had, minus the note. Zaeed gave 2 hot dogs and a water bottle to Derpy, and started to chow on his own food.
"Not gonna talk?" asked Derpy.
"Nothing to say..." replied Zaeed, gruffly.
Derpy was a little worried, "You aren't a hater... are you?"
Zaeed sighed, "No, Derpy, I am not a hater, goddammit. I don't understand why people would be hating on you anyway. Hasbro has to be the haters, way I see it..."
Derpy smiled a little.
– – – – –
Everyone finished their lunches, and returned to their tribe-colored mats.
"Welcome back, guys."
Everyone soon noticed the new buffs on Yuri, Geno, Applejack, and Presea.
"Dammit." muttered Zaeed.
"Ugh..." sighed Zola.
"You may have noticed a... change in your tribes. Two men, and two women have swapped tribes. Let's see how this plays out. Return to camp, get to know one another."
Mossono: Derpy, Geno, Samara, Yuri, and Zola
Volt: Applejack, Duck, Jiro, Presea, and Zaeed
– – – – –
Mossono Day 17
Geno and Yuri were talking to one another, away from the girls.
"I really worry for Zaeed now," worried Yuri, "If Duck and Jiro are smart, they'll side with the girls and take him out."
"Or not, because we need to be strong against the original Mossono members. The more men, the better." reminded Geno.
"Apparently, several tribe members were moved over to the other tribe. Luckily for me, I still have Yuri with me. All we need to do is find a crack, and dig deep." - Geno
Yuri scratched his head, "Problem is, who's aligned with who? I mean, there's not much we can gather other then the fact that they've been together for 16 days..."
Geno nodded, "Zola seems like the most level-headed woman on this tribe. Samara is too quiet to even trust, and Derpy is... well, 'derpy'."
"I'm worried about tribal... because I don't have immunity around my neck. That might mean I'm vulnerable if we lose the challenge..." noted Yuri to himself.
"Well damn... I had immunity since Day 9, and now it's gone. Sucks for me since I'm on the losing side of the cards, but whatcha gonna do? I'm gonna fight like a man in order to help Geno and myself survive!" - Yuri
Soon, Samara joined them.
"My name is Samara," she greeted, "an asari warrior."
Geno looked at her, "Aren't you a justicar?"
Samara nodded, "Indeed I am."
"I'm bound to an alliance with Duck, Jiro, and Kasumi. Kasumi is gone for good... so now I have to make some deals in order to save myself. If I don't get Zola out of power, she's going to run away with the win." - Samara
"I am here to make a deal with you," offered Samara, "The lady with the bandanna, Zola, is in control of the Mossono tribe. I need your help to take her down."
Yuri looked at Geno, smiling.
"We'd love all the help we could get," smiled Yuri, "We were afraid we were the targets to begin with."
Samara nodded, "You probably are, but if you side with me, you won't any longer."
"Samara made a deal with me and Yuri about blindsiding Zola at the next tribal council. We would be fools to say no to her." - Geno
– – – – –
Volt Day 17
Zaeed was working at the fire alone. He was rather disappointed to be away from his alliance.
"This goddamn twist sends my plan into submission. If we win the challenge, very well likely we will, then Geno or Yuri will be sent packing. That just pisses me off." - Zaeed
While he was working at the fire, he noticed Applejack trot his way.
"Howdy partner," she greeted, "Mind if ah help you there? You look like you could use some help!"
Zaeed looked up at her, wanting to shoo her away, but decided against it, and nodded.
"I could definitely use it right now..." muttered Zaeed.
"I never thought I would come to respect a pony. Applejack is a hard worker, she's friendly, and she's also competitive. Something this tribe might need with Yuri and Geno gone." - Zaeed
Applejack started to help Zaeed out with the fire, trying to make sure it stayed lit.
"How did stuff like this go down at your own camp?" asked Zaeed.
Applejack shrugged, "Well, ah think our tribe was mighty fine when it came to shelter and camp life. Probably the reason we sucked at challenges..."
Zaeed nodded, "Probably. But that's in the past, and now we're gonna kick Mossono's ass!"
Applejack chuckled to herself.
"Zaeed's got quite a mouth on him, but he's a strong fellow. We need him to win Volt some dang challenges. Ah reckon we've got Mossono tied up." - Applejack
"What's your opinion of the pink haired girl?" asked Zaeed.
"Presea?" asked Applejack, "She's a strong competitor. Believe me on this sugarcube. That girl can wield an ax."
Zaeed was surprised, "Damn. I've got faith in her now after hearing that. Honestly speaking Applejack, I think you two are more worth my time then Duck or Jiro."
Applejack was surprised, "Are you saying what ah think you're saying?"
"About voting one of them off? Hell yeah, I am. But only if we lose... which I highly doubt." muttered Zaeed.
"Ah'm honestly shocked to hear that Zaeed would betray the men, like that. Ah wonder if he was on the chopping block before the switch occurred." - Applejack
– – – – –
"Come on in guys!"
Both tribes entered the challenge area.
"Guys ready for today's immunity challenge?"
Everyone nodded excitedly.
"I'll take back immunity from the Volt tribe."
Presea did so.
"Before we get to today's challenge, I would like to explain a major twist."
Everyone started to focus on Jeff.
"Tomorrow night, one more person will be voted off and sent home. This next vote, if your tribe is sent to tribal council, no one is safe. No one has individual immunity. Everyone is up for grabs in terms of elimination. This is because the day after tribal council, those who were rewarded with individual immunity will get a chance to compete against one another for a chance to bring someone back into the game."
Everyone was shocked to hear those words.
"Samara, Derpy, Yuri, Zaeed, Jiro, Applejack, if you win that challenge, whoever gave you immunity back when they were voted off, will reenter the game and become a part of your merged tribe."
Everyone nodded, focused.
"Alright, so onto today's challenge. For today's challenge, you will choose 3 people to shoot a slingshot to break through colored tiles. Each tribemember has 3 tiles each. Once all 3 of your tiles are broken, you score a point for your tribe. But be careful, the wind is pretty high, so if you want to do well in this challenge, your gonna have to time well, or else your enemy will get points. First tribe to have all 3 tribe members break all their tiles, wins immunity. Let's get started."
Mossono
Shooting: Geno, Yuri, Zola
Volt
Shooting: Applejack, Jiro, Zaeed
"Survivors ready? GO!"

"VOLT WINS IMMUNITY!"
All of Volt hugged and cheered.
"Great job, Volt! None of you will be going to tribal council tonight. Unfortunately, Mossono, one of you will be voted out tonight, and will be sent home. No immunity to hide behind. It is anybody's game. I will see you all tomorrow."
– – – – –
Mossono Day 18
Geno and Yuri weren't too happy about losing the challenge. They were off talking in one of the maze areas.
"I don't know Geno... for some reason I just feel like it'll be one of us going home tonight..." worried Yuri.
Geno nodded, "It's hard to believe that Samara might actually help us out. But she's our only hope tonight."
"Yesterday, Samara made an alliance with me and Yuri to take down Zola, who she says is the leader of the Mossono tribe. This is our only hope, and it might be worth our time doing." - Geno
Yuri shrugged, "I'm following my gut, Geno... and my gut is telling me to trust Samara for now."
Just then, Samara entered the area, looking at the two men.
"Greetings, gentlemen..." she nodded at them.
Geno nodded back, while Yuri gave a light wave, sighing, "We're probably voting with you tonight..."
Samara nodded, "I'm glad you see things my way. However, I think we shouldn't vote for Zola tonight. There is a good reason for this."
"Yesterday at the challenge, Jeff explained that one of the 6 voted out contestants will return to the game. In order for one of them to return, the person who won immunity from them, must win a future challenge. If they win, that survivor returns. I would love very much for Jiro, who got immunity from Kasumi, to win, as this will bring my alliance back up to strength." - Samara
"What's up, then?" asked Yuri.
"Remember Jeff's words at the challenge," reminded Samara, "Those who had immunity will compete in a challenge, and if they win, the person who gave them immunity returns to the game. Voting Zola out will do nothing, whereas voting Derpy out, will. She has the chance to bring Wooldoor back into the game."
Geno scratched his head, "And why should we worry about seeing Wooldoor return?"
"Wouldn't you like an ally to return to the game?" asked Samara. Both Geno and Yuri nodded, as Geno lost Russia, and Yuri had lost Judith.
"Samara wants to vote off Derpy instead of Zola, saying that she is one more person that can compete for individual immunity. While Zola is more of a threat, voting Derpy off might help Judy return to the game." - Yuri
Yuri nodded, "Yeah, actually. I see what you mean."
Samara held out her hand, "Do we have a deal here?"
Both Geno and Yuri shook her hand, and nodded.
"While I'm not going to help Yuri or Geno any further after this tribal council, I need their votes for tonight. Voting Derpy off is the best move right now, if my 4-person alliance has any chance of staying together." - Samara
Later in the day, Zola and Yuri were talking in the shelter.
"I'm gonna tell you something," said Zola to Yuri, "And you may not believe me at first, but I suggest you do..."
Yuri looked over at her, "Well, I'm listening."
"Both Geno and Yuri are safe tonight, in my book. Honestly compared to someone like Samara, they aren't threats. Samara is a powerful biotic, and she could possibly out strengthen even the men." - Zola
"You aren't going home, and neither is Geno," explained Zola, "Instead, Derpy and I are voting for Samara tonight. Believe me, she's a large target."
Yuri nodded, listening in.
"Apparently, these girls have bigger problems then just taking out the men one by one. Samara wants to take out Derpy, and Zola wants to take out Samara. Samara is a big threat, I agree. It might be worth taking her out." - Yuri
"I'll talk to Geno about it," nodded Yuri, "I do think it's a great idea, though."
Zola nodded, "It's certainly worth your vote tonight, Yuri. Believe me."
"I hope the boys make the right move, and take Samara out tonight. I can't be too sure for certain, though. Remember, Samara might be trying to take me or Derpy out tonight. Perhaps her offers are more valuable." - Zola
– – – – –
The Mossono tribe entered tribal council.
"Tonight, immunity is gone, and nobody is safe tonight. Zola, with 3 girls, and 2 boys, it seems easy to say that the two boys aren't safe tonight, right?" asked Jeff.
Zola shrugged.
"In my eyes, it's a free for all, Jeff. I would love to keep all the girls loyal, but sometimes, you just can't. That kind of sucks." replied Zola.
"Samara, does what Zola say worry you a little?" asked Jeff.
"Yes, it does. However, she's absolutely right in that it's a free for all right now. A girl might go home tonight, or even a boy." replied Samara.
"Geno, it's got to make you a little happy knowing it's not between just you or Yuri right now." noted Jeff.
"Yeah, you have a point. I'm still a bit nervous, though. I've been told one thing from one, and another thing from another. Makes it kind of hard on who to trust." replied Geno.
"Ok, it's time to vote, Derpy, you're up."
– – –
Samara's Vote: This is a strategic vote. I apologize deeply. (Derpy)
Yuri's Vote: Nothing personal, just making the right move for my game right now. (?)
Zola's Vote: You are the largest threat right now. We could've been great allies, if we had talked more. (Samara)
– – –
"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, Derpy. (She nodded.)
…
…
Samara. One vote Derpy, one vote Samara.
…
Samara. Two votes Samara, one vote Derpy. (Samara nodded, before turning to look at Geno and Yuri.)
…
…
…
…
Seventh person voted out of Survivor Forest Maze, Samara. That's 3, it's enough, you need to hand me your torch.
Samara's face was emotionless as she collected her torch, and gave it to Jeff.
"Samara, the tribe has spoken."
He snuffed out her torch.
"Time for you to go."
Samara turned around to give a small glance at the four others, before leaving the tribal council area, glowing a bright blue.
"You guys voted out the asari justicar Samara, a strong force in competitions. One more thing, you guys will not be returning to the Mossono camp."
Everyone was surprised when Jeff tossed Yuri a bag full of blue buffs.
"You will be merging with the Volt tribe tomorrow morning. The game will be changing by the minute now. Grab your torches, and head on over to your new home. Good night."
– – – – –
Samara's Final Words
"I have no one to blame but myself for not making better decisions. I should of made better relations with Zola instead of going straight to the men for a deal, because if those two got a better deal, they would've jumped on it immediately. I plan to return to my duties, now that my game is over."
VOTE
Derpy – Samara
Samara – Zola, Yuri, Geno, and Derpy
Holy crap... it's been awhile, huh?
Well, just to give most of you an update on what I've been doing, I've been RPing on a My Little Pony website called Ponysquare. If you ever wish to roleplay with me, I go by Hurricane Flurrie on that website.
It's been a whole lot of fun, actually. I've been using that site to train up on my romance skills, writing skills, and social skills. Even though I'm a female on that site, I actually do a damn good job at it. ^^
I do a lot of... uh... NSFW stuff on that site... yeeahh... um... (coughs)
Anyway, who do you think will return to the game? Wooldoor? Jack? Judith? Kasumi? Or Russia? (Barney is no longer a possible candidate, because Samara was voted off)
Find out in the next episode!
