(Papi Tribe)

The newly-formed Papi tribe went back to their camp with mixed reactions about the vote. Tigerlily and Red were leading the pack.

"Thank you for agreeing to vote with me, Red." Tigerlily thanked. "I know you hated her but I can assure you that this was the best move we could make.

"Yeah, yeah." Red scoffed.

"I was the swing vote tonight. However, it wasn't supposed to be like that. Tigerlily seemed so intent on keeping Karen and making our tribe strong." Red grumbled. "I refused multiple times trying to convince her otherwise but in the end, I gave in to those kitty-cat eyes of her. Ugh… I hate it when people pull that on me. There should be a law against it."

Karen then ran up beside the two.

"I am so glad you two realized how important it was to keep our tribe strong." The brunette smirked.

"Hey. It is just as you say. Even though we were at odds, we still faced off against the Papi tribe." Tigerlily shrugged. "So any idea of who to target next?"

"Not at the moment. But either way, it really doesn't matter. They are both gone anyway." Karen said bluntly.

"Well, I admit I had my doubts but I had convinced Tigerlily and Red to vote with me and get rid of Papi's leader. Now seeing Vincent gone would concrete the spiralling demise of the Papi tribe." Karen said with a smirk.

Meanwhile, Amanda glared onwards as the original Mano members went back to camp.

"Unbelievable. Simply unbelievable." The nurse said shaking her head. "They voted out a stronger player just so they could have a majority."

"Tonight sucked so hard. We lost Vincent, who I don't like anymore because he was the one who decided to keep Stinky. What annoys me is they actually decided to keep that spoiled brat, Karen." Amanda growled. "Why is everyone protecting the people that the majority wishes to go and die somewhere? What is worse, now with him gone, my only ally is… Ugh, Wally."

The beauty sighed. "Great… Now we are stuck with each other."

Amanda waited for an answer. However, she never got it. Raising an eyebrow, she turned her head.

"Hey, Wally. I am actually talking to you." She growled. "Don't blow it. Again!"

Suddenly, she noticed that Wally was still thunder-struck by the vote. His eyes were as wide as saucers as his brown fur had slightly paled over. Amanda raised an eyebrow.

"Hey, Earth to Wally. Come in, Wally!" Amanda said getting annoyed.

"Vincent… Is gone." The kangaroo said slowly

Amanda blinked twice. "Come again?"

"Vincent… Our leader… Our heart… Is gone." Wally said as if he was a daze.

Amanda blinked twice before walking over to Wally and waving her hand in front of his face. He didn't looked fazed at all.

"Um, Wally?" She asked actually sounding concerned.

"We… Are doomed. Papi… Is done." The boxer said before stalking off.

"Vincent was our leader and acted as the heart of our tribe. But now he is gone. Just like that. He was screwed by a twist." Wally lamented. "Now how am Ah, heck the rest of the Papi tribe supposed to survive like this?"

Amanda watched as the young man walked still looking like he was in a daze. She blinked twice before narrowing her eyes.

"Pfft. He deserved it."

(Day 19, Mano Tribe)

"WHAT?"

Allison's eyes bugged out as she sat on a log opposite from Stinky at the fire pit.

"It is just as I said." Stinky sighed shaking his head.

"You mean you are willing to backstab Greg just like that?" Allison said in disbelief.

"Hey, it is a package deal. Schokolade backstabs Franklin, we backstab Greg." Stinky insisted. "Besides, he was on the outs of our alliance before all of this happened."

Allison bit her lip not liking how things were going.

"Greg and Stinky both approached me saying that they each made a deal to vote off of the original Mano members in return, they would turn on each other." Allison exclaimed. "WHY? We are already down in members compared to Mano! Why decrease them by going after each other?"

"But Stinky, even though he is an outsider, he is still our tribe-mate." The alligator reasoned.

"Yeah, but if we stick together, we would just be in a 4-3 minority." The skunk shrugged. "Besides, I think Greg is most likely going to backstab me, anyway. He been gunning for me for a while now."

"But can't you make a truce?" Allison pleaded.

Stinky let out a mirthless laugh. "Are you kidding? He hates me! He would never make a truce with me! And frankly, the feeling is starting to get mutual."

"But… But…" Allison sputtered.

"The tribe is divided, plain and simple. Normally, you would think it is because that it is a Tribal War but no, I am aligned with Schokolade and Tea to go against Greg, Franklin and Becky." Stinky explained. "However, there is one more person and her name is Allison. We need to get her to align us to further our stay in the game."

Meanwhile, Greg, Franklin and Becky watched from afar as the two anthros talk.

"So how did your talk go with Allison?" Franklin asked.

"Not good." Greg sighed shaking his head. "She didn't like the fact that us Papi members are going at each other's throats like this."

"I could imagine…" Becky muttered.

"The plan is to get Allison to vote with us. However, she doesn't like either scenario. I know that we would end up backstabbing our allies in the end but we have to." Greg said. "Besides, the Mano tribe are willing to do the first backstabbing to secure our trust."

The strongman sighed as he shook his head. "We need to convince Allison that Stinky is not worth trying to protect."

Franklin put his finger to his chin as he rubbed it. Suddenly, a smirk came across his face.

"Don't worry." The Medieval man said getting their attention. "I got an idea."

"Seriously?" Greg asked with a raised eyebrow.

Franklin nodded as he walked forward. "Leave everything to me."

"It seems that Stinky's outburst a couple of nights ago did not open Allison's eyes to the real him. It seems that I have to take matters into my own hands to reveal the delinquent that is Stinky." Franklin said before smirking. "In order to do so, I need to provoke him. One of my comrades is ironically a cat burglar so I know exactly how to do it. Besides, I got a lot of steam to vent out."

"Excuse me, Stinky." The knight said walking up to the two teenagers.

"Um, yeah?" The mechanic asked raising an eyebrow.

"May I speak to you about something?" Franklin asked crossing his arms.

"Um, sure. Shoot." Stinky shrugged.

"Do you remember the Day 14 Challenge?" Franklin asked.

Stinky's eyes widened at this.

"Ah, I see you remembered. I see you also remembered that you pulled a cheap move to win." Franklin said.

"You are STILL going on about that?" Stinky asked in disbelief. "That was a few days ago."

"People don't forgot these kinds of things on Survivor." Franklin said narrowing his eyes.

"Hey, come on! I already told you! If I didn't do that move, you would had won!" Stinky insisted.

"Oh, so you admitted that you resorted to cheap blows to win." Franklin said.

"Hey, who would had won in a fight? A knight from a fighting game or a scrawny teenaged mechanic?" Stinky said getting annoyed.

"I seem to recall Dormie winning her fight against Red." Franklin mused. "And she won it fair and square."

"She only won it because that big oaf charged himself off of the platform!" Stinky growled.

"Why are you yelling? I was just stating a point." Franklin said.

"I am yelling because you don't know when to let things go!" Stinky snapped. "You are arguing about something that happened days ago!"

"I am "arguing" because you took advantage of my honour." Franklin said.

Stinky growled as he stood up. "Look, we were behind 2-0! We needed a win and soon!"

"Even still, that didn't justified your action." Franklin said sternly. "What you did was cowardly and had only proven smaller people could only defeat their opponents by cheating."

"Well, how else I was supposed to push you off!" Stinky growled.

"There you go yelling again." Franklin said rolling his eyes.

"Now, look here, iron-head. I am tired. I am stuck in a Tribal Swap. I am with a brute that hate my guts so if you know what is good for you, back off!" Stinky snapped.

"Oh, aren't we arrogant?" Franklin said.

"Okay, here I am trying to get Allison to vote with me only to have Franklin come out of nowhere and confront about using a cheap trick in the Challenge." Stinky said annoyed. "Which was DAYS ago! I don't know if it's because Franklin has a fragile ego but I don't care! I already have an Alpha Male breathing down my neck. I don't need another one!"

The two then continued arguing. Allison watched the exchange of insults. She then shook her head before getting up and walking away. Everyone else watched the whole scene.

"Well… THAT could had gone more smoothly." Tea said flatly.

"Okay, seriously? Why is it no matter what, fights always appear every three days?" Tea asked in disbelief. "Seriously, we already had enough tension before the Tribal Swap. We don't need cross-tension!"

(Papi Tribe)

Wally laid on his back inside of the shelter staring at the top. He had seemed to got over his daze but was still upset by the events of last night. Amanda, Tigerlily and Red watched from the fire pit.

"Poor Wally haven't left the shelter since last night. He just stays there staring at the ceiling. Well, at least he was better than last night." Tigerlily said with a sigh. "He had that look like just living is painful and the only way to end it… Well, let's not get too dark."

"Dang! Is he still shocked over last night?" Red asked.

"Hey, cut him a break! He just lost his best friend out here!" Tigerlily scolded before looking to the side. "I know how that feels."

Amanda merely scoffed. "Well, I do too. And that is why I don't feel sorry for him at all."

Tigerlily winced at this. "How could you say that?"

"Because he helped his backstabbing friend vote out four good people!" Amanda growled. "Plus, now he knows what it is like to have a close ally voted out."

"Even still, you are being way too harsh." Tigerlily scolded. "I mean aren't you two allies?"

"I could ensure you that being on the Papi tribe is the ONLY thing we have in common." Amanda said darkly.

"But you are his only ally here. If you are not there to comfort him, who will?" Red asked.

Tigerlily and Amanda's eyes widened before they looked up at Red. The demon's eyes bugged out before he realized what he said. He then quickly turned away while crossing his arms.

"Not that I care or anything. I was just stating facts." He scoffed.

Tigerlily shook her head getting out of her daze before looking back at Amanda.

"Look, Vincent's last words was for you and Wally to make up." The young woman said.

Amanda raised an eyebrow. "And why should you care? We are on opposing sides."

Tigerlily sighed as she shook her head.

"You're right. We ARE on opposing tribes." The tigress said. "This situation changes nothing about the voting order."

She then looked up with a glare.

"But you cannot deny that you need Wally right now. And he needs you." Tigerlily said.

Amanda blinked twice before looking away with a sigh.

"Why should I feel sorry for Wally? Just because he is my ally? When he wasn't riding on the coattails of Vincent's overpriced fabric, he was being an annoying, idiotic pervert!" Amanda said looking uncertain. "Besides, what made him the most annoying with that happy-go-lucky attitude of him. It is good to see him knocked down a few pegs. Right?"

Meanwhile, Tom was sitting alone on the shore with a mango in his hand. He looked at the ocean.

"When Vincent went home last down, Wally fell into a funk. Usually he is this peppy go-getter who makes the tribe laugh. But now, he lost his spark." Tom said slowly. "Instead of stalking around the camp speaking with a grin, he is staying in the shelter feeling that all hope is lost. And it happened… Because of me."

The producer then looked down at his feet.

"Wally… The reason he is so down is because my decision." Tom said quietly. "My decision to vote Vincent caused such a fuss. It was all caused because of me."

With that, he looked down at the mango in his hand inspecting it closer.

"The tears… The sadness… The tension…" He said. "All because of me."

The man stared at the mango for a few seconds. He then squeezed the mango tightly. Soon, he crushed it along juice to pour from the fruit onto his arm.

He then gotten a dark smile on his face.

"Bryan was right. Being aggressive and taking charge is great! I would always apologize if I think I did something wrong but now not only do I do not care but I actually enjoyed it! Seeing Wally's miserable state was more fun than I ever imagined!" Tom said grinning like a maniac nearly giving the cameraman a heart attack. "And I want more! I want more people to trample over and leave in the dust! Karen is the only exception since she is my only concrete ally right now but I am not stop now."

The middle-aged man smirked evilly as he continued to watch the juice pour.

"Squeeze it until the blood pours down your arm."

With that, he chuckled. He then put his tongue to his arm licking the juice. Nobody knew that there was a new Tom.

(Day 20, Mano Tribe)

"Seriously, man! Get away from me!"

"Never! You had sullied my honour and instead of apologizing, you give snarky comments!"

"Well, like heck I am going to apologize to you NOW, ironhead!"

"There you go with the insults again!"

Greg, Allison, Becky and Tea watched the fight from aside with bored looks.

"Ugh… How long are they going to keep fighting?" Tea groaned.

"I don't know, Tea." Greg said shaking his head.

"I am still amazed that this whole thing happened." Allison groaned while shaking her head. "Franklin doesn't seem the person to dwell in the past."

"Yeah, he is one of the last people out here I expect to have ego issues." Tea shrugged.

Becky and Greg looked at each other before looking back at the anthro girls.

"Your guess is as good as mine." Becky shrugged.

"The plan is Franklin to continue provoking Stinky over his cheap move at the Challenge. That way, it would show that Stinky isn't that all nice of a person and hopefully gets Allison to flip." Becky sighed. "I hope Allison realizes that soon. I don't like fighting. Especially the kind which gets repetitive after a while."

"To be fair, Stinky DID do a cheap shot on him." Greg shrugged.

"Even still, that was a long way back." Tea said. "There are better reasons to hold a grudge for that long."

"But Stinky never apologized or admitted his way was wrong." Greg said. "Instead, he just complained and argued back."

"I guess…" Tea shrugged. "Still I hope that the rivalry ends sooner or later. Their fights are getting on my nerves."

Meanwhile, Schokolade walked up in front of them with a letter in her hand.

"Everyone. Get ready. We have treemail." The soldier instructed.

"Oh goody-goody. Challenge time!" Becky smiled.

"What does it say?" Allison asked.

"It states "How well can you manoeuvre in the dark?" Schokolade read.

"What does it mean by that? Are we doing the Challenge at night?" Allison asked raising an eyebrow.

"If I am not mistaken, then our Challenge will be a blindfolded one." Schokolade reasoned. "Those types of Challenges are quite common."

"Living life with an eye-patch gives you an interesting perspective of your vision. I am half-blind so in terms of eyesight, I am completely oblivious to the left side." Schokolade explained. "However, I had been trained to be wary of my surroundings even with a handicap. Depending on the Challenge, I should do well in it."

"All right. Somebody separate the two new best friends and get…" Tea started.

"AAAAAUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHH!"

Everyone's eyes widened before turning to the direction of the scream. Suddenly, they smelt something horrible instantly making their plug their noses.

They then noticed Franklin walking over with a giant stench line around his body.

"I assume that it is time for the next Challenge." Franklin said flatly.

"…Um, yeah." Greg said still plugging his nose.

"Good. Hopefully it is a water Challenge." Franklin said before walking off.

The others stared at the retreating knight. They then turned to see Stinky walking over whistling a jovial tune. The skunk opened his eyes with a surprisingly happy look on his face. However, it vanished when he found everyone was glaring at him.

"What?"

(Reward Challenge)

The Mano tribe walked onto their tribe mat as always. Tiny couldn't help but notice that not only Franklin had the stench line around him and everyone was comically standing a good feet away from him.

"Um… What happened?" Tiny asked.

"I had found a new person I dislike." Franklin growled glaring at Stinky who whistled innocently.

"Riiiight. Anyway, let's bring in the Papi tribe." Tiny said as the other tribe walked in. "Vincent voted out at the last Tribal Council."

"What!" Stinky exclaimed as Allison gasped in horror and Greg's eyes bugged out to the fullest.

"Hmm… A big reaction from the original Papi members." Tiny said. "Anyway, let's get to today's Challenge. Take a look."

The two tribes looked ahead. There they saw a wooden platform with four sticks connecting to it. A few feet away was a table and in the opposite direction of it was a bunch of strings with pieces attached to it.

"One of you would sitting on a platform hoisted by four blindfolded tribe-mates. You would have to guide them through the beach while avoiding the other tribe and collecting ten puzzle pieces of your tribe colour. After you get the puzzle pieces back to the table, you can give them to the final tribe-mate where they would figure out the puzzle." Tiny said. "Whoever gets their puzzle done first wins Reward. Want to know what you are playing for?"

Everyone nodded.

"A pizza party at your camp. With all different types." Tiny smiled. "And while you enjoy the party, you will read letters from home!"

Everyone immediately brightened up upon hearing this.

"Looks like it is safe to say that it is worth playing for!" Tiny smirked. "Okay, Mano, you got one extra member. Who would you be sitting out?"

"Stinky." Schokolade said.

"All right." Tiny smirked. "I will give you a minute to work out the order."

(Later)

It didn't took long to pick the order. Becky and Karen were chose for the leaders with Tea and Tom as the puzzle solvers.

"All right for Reward! Survivors, ready! Go!"

"Everyone! Forward!" Karen shouted.

"Forward, guys! The first piece is ahead!" Becky yelled.

The blindfolded people nodded as they proceeded to move forward to get their respective pieces. Papi's platform was a little faster as they reached their first puzzle piece first.

"Okay, now hold it perfectly still." Karen ordered as she grabbed the piece as she untied it. "All right, I got it!"

Meanwhile, Mano's platform was making their way towards their first piece at a steady pace. Suddenly, Allison stumbled nearly falling over causing the platform to tilt and Becky to nearly slide off.

Thankfully, everyone recovered in time before the girl scout could fall off.

"Sorry about that!" Allison apologized.

"It is all right, Allison. Just relax." Greg said.

"Yeah and it is too dangerous to go too fast." Becky nodded. "Just continue onwards."

The four nodded as they proceeded to the first piece.

"Okay, just a few more steps… And stop!" Becky yelled before grabbing the piece on the string and untying it. "All right! I got it!"

"Understood. Where is the nearest piece now?" Schokolade asked.

"Just left of here. Just move slowly." Becky instructed.

Tiny, Stinky, Tom and Tea watched as the two platforms went around the beach collecting puzzle pieces. They all noticed the two were slowly picking up their progress and getting in the swing of things.

Tiny then looked at Stinky. "Stinky, do you think your tribe is going to win?"

"I dunno. The formation we have with Allison isn't that good. They can't go too fast or else Allison would trip and send the entire platform going down." The skunk reasoned.

Tiny raised an eyebrow. "Then why bring her into the formation at all?"

"Are you serious? We literally didn't had a choice!" Stinky scolded. "She was way stronger than Tea, Becky AND me!"

Tiny blinked twice before shrugging. "Can't argue with logic like that."

Meanwhile, Karen had untied the fifth puzzle piece.

"All right. We are doing well." The teenager smiled. "Now go 3 o'clock!"

Everyone did what the aristocrat said. Except for Wally who left the other way. The platform shook a bit causing Karen to nearly lose her balance and drop the pieces. After everyone recovered themselves, Karen glared at the guilty party.

"Hey! I don't know how you guys tell time in Australia but 3 o'clock means go to the right!" The brunette yelled.

"Oh! Ah am sorry, Sheila!" Wally said apologizing quickly.

Mano's platform then went under their third puzzle piece.

"Okay! Stop! I am right under it!" Becky commanded as she grabbed the piece.

"We seem to be doing well." Greg mused.

"Yeah but I think we are behind." Allison frowned.

"There is nothing we can do about it right now except continue onwards and hope that the other tribe would mess up." Franklin said.

"I am more concerned that your smell doesn't make us pass out." Schokolade said making the knight growl.

The Challenge continued onward. Both tribes had shown no difficulty manoeuvring around and collecting puzzle pieces. Papi's platform was in the lead since they were moving a little faster.

"All right! That is our eighth one! We just need to two more!" Karen smirked. "Go forward."

Everyone nodded as they did what they were told. Wally on the other hand stayed in his place as if he didn't heard Karen.

This caused Wally's part to slip right out of his arms. This resulted in it slamming onto the ground making Karen and on the other puzzle pieces slide off towards him

CRASH!

Everyone winced as Karen fell onto the stunned Wally knocking both of them to the ground. Red, Amanda and Tigerlily immediately dropped the platform.

"You idiot!" Karen yelled. "You made the entire platform crash!"

"S-Sorry!" Wally said.

Becky saw this and her eyes lit up. "Hey, guys! They dropped their platform!"

"That means there is a chance for a comeback!" Franklin grinned.

Everyone nodded their heads as they continued what they were doing as Karen frantically picked up the rest of the puzzle pieces.

"All right! I got them!" Karen yelled. "Perhaps we are still in this!"

However, the main problem was now trying to get four blindfolded people to get to lift the platform back up and they were learned this the hard way. Tom couldn't help but slap his head as Stinky and Tea smirked.

Meanwhile, Mano's platform managed to get the rest of the puzzle pieces they need.

Becky just untied the last one. "That's it! That's all of them! Now back to Tea!"

Everyone nodded as they followed the girl scout's orders back to the hybrid girl. Thankfully, they didn't had to rush knowing that their opponents were down. Soon, they arrived in front of Tea's table as they rested the platform down.

"Nice one, guys! Now give me the puzzle pieces and I would do the rest!" Tea nodded.

Everyone obliged as the four people rested down the platform. Becky handed them to Tea as she ran over to the table to start doing the puzzle.

Karen shook her head as she finally managed to get the platform back up. "It's all over now…"

Everyone watched in anticipation as the hybrid girl easily worked out the puzzle.

"All right! I think I got it!" She yelled.

Tiny went over to check. He then nodded.

"MANO WINS REWARD!"

The majority of Mano took off their blindfolds as they cheered on while Tea smirked. The Papi tribe looked defeated.

(Later)

"Congratulations, Mano! You won Reward! The pizza and letters from home will be waiting for you from back at camp!" Tiny said before turning to Papi. "As for you, Papi. I got nothing for you. You may head back to camp."

(Mano Tribe)

Everyone sat around the fire pit happily eating their pizza. Well, mostly everyone. Franklin was sitting a good distance away from everyone because he still smelled bad.

"Oh… My… Gosh!" Tea said happily. "These pizzas are so good!"

"And it is nice to hear from our families and friends after so long!" Becky smiled. "My family is doing fine and so are the Planeteers!"

"My friends are doing well also!" Tea beamed. "Crash is just as wacky as ever!"

"Everyone at Twilight Town seems to be doing well." Greg noted.

"Yeah, so is everyone at Station Square." Allison added.

"All of the Champions are doing well!" Franklin yelled.

"What about you, Schokolade?" Tea asked. "How are your folks doing?"

"I would tell you but this letter contain secret information and if I tell you guys any of it, the Tan Army may come after you and…" The soldier started.

"Okay, you know what? I don't want to know." Tea said quickly as everyone else agreed with her. Schokolade couldn't help but smirk.

"It is always nice to get letters from home from you are away for so long. It not only takes away most of your homesickness but it makes you remember that all of your friends are cheering you on." Becky grinned. "I want to show the Planeteers that I could be one of them too so I have to do well here!"

"How about you, Stinky?" Tea asked.

"Hm? Oh, yeah. They are doing fine…" The mechanic said immediately retracting his letter back.

Franklin noticed this while sitting a good distance away and raised his eyebrow.

Stinky smiled as he looked down at his letter while holding a slice of pepperoni pizza in his other hand. He was quite happy to hear from his friends. Suddenly, he smelt something foul. Raising an eyebrow, he turned around.

Only to have his letter taken by Franklin.

"Hey!" Stinky snapped. "Give that back!"

"In a minute." Franklin said sternly before reading the contents of the letter.

"Not in a minute. NOW!" Stinky growled trying to take the letter back while ignoring the stench.

Schokolade rolled her good eye. "It's Bryan and Red all over again."

"Dear Stinky, I must say that I am quite impressed with you still being in the game. I thought for sure that you would make everyone mad at you and gotten yourself voted out." Franklin read. "But yet you are still there."

"Hey, that is personal!" Stinky growled.

"Anyway, everyone is doing fine. Nothing really changed." Franklin continued. "Except that most of the people are happy that you are not bugging them. Especially Leon."

Stinky's eyes widened in horror as everyone looked confused.

"Leon?" Tea asked.

"Isn't a Leon in StarFox…?" Greg asked before trailing off.

"Anyway, we are still butting heads with Star Fox as always. I expect a lot from you considering how much you been bragging." Franklin read. "Signed… Wolf O'Donnell."

After the knight finished reading the letter with a smirk, everyone stared at Stinky who looked stunned by what just happened in the short period of a minute.

"Stinky… You work for StarWolf?" Allison asked slowly.

Franklin then glared at Stinky. "I knew that you weren't a good person when I heard about how you made Allison cry and used a cheap trick against me."

The mechanic blinked twice before looking around at everyone. He then growled.

"Okay, you know what? I totally lost my appetite!" Stinky snapped.

With that, he stormed off with Franklin looking triumphantly.

"I did it. I unveiled a villain to the entire tribe. And he wasn't even part of Schokolade's conspiracy. When I saw that he was so protective of his letter, I knew something was up with Stinky." Franklin smirked. "Now that I revealed who he really was, Allison has no choice now but to join our alliance."

Stinky growled as he sat on the shore angry by Franklin's actions. He threw a rock into the water.

"It's over. I am screwed. There is no way that I would gain anyone's trust knowing that I am from StarWolf. And it's all that ironhead's fault!" Stinky said. "Now how I am going to convince Allison to join up with me now?"

(Papi Tribe)

"Well, we just lost our second Challenge in a row. Which totally sucked because after we all dropped our platform, we just couldn't get back our momentum," Red sighed. "What is it with the Papi tribe never always being able to get ahead in Challenges? Does "Papi" stand for "Eternal Failure" or something?"

Karen growled as she laid against a palm tree with Tom watching.

"We had it, Tom! We were in the lead and that idiot, Wally ruined it!" She growled.

"I know. We had such a big advantage over the other tribe." The producer said shaking his head.

"Ugh… Words cannot describe how much I hate him right now." Karen growled.

"Well, then you would like how I was thinking." Tom said.

Karen raised an eyebrow. "Come again?"

"Well, Wally is still pretty devastated about Vincent leaving." Tom said before smirking. "But a wise man once said you can never be too careful."

"I got another good idea. I know that Wally is in a pretty bad situation seeing that his only ally hates his guts. However, if he even the little bit determined, he could pull off a Hail Mary. Ace is a prime example of this." Tom explained with a smirk. "So the plan is to brutally verbal assault Wally so much that he would lose all hope of surviving and maybe even quit the game."

"We cannot afford for Wally to get even a little determined." The producer said. "Those kind of people tend to overcome impossible odds."

"So you are saying that we are going to kick the kangaroo while he is down." Karen said stunned.

"More or less." Tom said with a carefree shrug.

Karen blinked twice at the man's sudden attitude.

"I don't know what came over you recently…" She said before smirking. "But I like it."

Tom chuckled.

"I don't know where Tom got his new amount of confidence from but I am liking what he was doing with it. Instead of being a stereotypical underdog hero, he actually uses it to good use." Karen smirked. "I especially loved his plan. I have a lot of anger towards Wally right now so I am more than happy with the plan."

Karen and Tom then saw Wally sitting a good distance away on a log.

"Are you ready?" Tom asked.

"Of course. I hated that guy for costing us the Challenge." Karen said. "Let's go!"

With that, the two of them walked towards camp.

"Ugh! I can't believe we lost the Challenge!" Karen growled. "Do you know how much I wanted to eat decent food and hear from my family?"

Tigerlily rolled her eyes. "Well, we did. We just had bad luck, that's all!"

"Shut up, Tigerlily! Luck had nothing to do with our loss!" Karen snapped before glaring at Wally. "It was YOU! You cost us the Challenge!"

The kangaroo immediately shrank back. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Ah didn't mean ta cost us the Challenge!"

"Well, I don't care! We wouldn't had dropped our platform if you wasn't staring off into space!" Karen growled.

"Agreed. All you had to do was follow a simple command." Tom said adjusting his glasses with a frown.

Wally looked a little taken back by Tom's response. "Look, Ah am sorry. Ah just wasn't focused! That's all!"

"That is no excuse!" Karen said crossing her arms. "You should give a hundred percent in a Challenge!"

"Hey, come on! Ah was going through some issues!" Wally insisted.

"So your best friend got voted out? My best friend here got voted off as well!" Karen huffed.

"Are you really that dependant on him that you can't even do simple things?" Tom said adjusting his glasses.

Karen scoffed. "I am not surprised. From what I saw, he had been riding on Vincent's coattails since the start. Can't you play the game for yourself?"

Wally looked down at the ground. "Um, well…"

"Ah-ha! That proves it! You had been absolutely useless through the entire game!" Karen scoffed. "Seriously, have you did anything game-wise?"

"Um, not really…" Wally said.

"Exactly. All you did was replied on Vincent for the entire game." Tom said narrowing his eyes. "Now that he is gone, you are moping around as if your life lost meaning. Even though it didn't seemed like it has meaning to begin with."

Wally was not the only one shocked by Tom's statement. Amanda, Tigerlily and Red stood slack-jawed.

"Tom used to be a cute meek geek but now… I honestly don't know what he is now." Tigerlily frowned. "I DO know that this was a result of him hanging around Bryan and Karen too much. I knew those guys were a bad influence but still I am shocked at what he become."

"Tell me. Is punching out other people's brains is the only thing you can do?" Karen asked.

"Hey! It gets food on the table fer me!" Wally snapped.

"Even still, all you had demonstrated so far that you are an annoying clingy coattail-rider." Tom said shaking her head. "Without Vincent, you are just an old puppet with no soul."

Wally winced as he looked down.

"Good to see you finally realize how pitiful you are." Karen smirked.

"Karen! Tom! Stop it!" Tigerlily demanded.

"No! He deserved it!" Karen snapped. "Now look here, you punk!"

Amanda suddenly got up as she walked forward. "Tigerlily is right. That is more than enough. Wally already got enough problems to worry about."

"Why should you care?" Karen snapped. "You kicked down a tree with Wally in it!"

"Even still, this is too much! Blaming Wally will not change the fact we lost!" Amanda scolded.

"Well, it makes me feel better!" Karen scoffed before glaring at Wally. "You had failed in every single thing you ever done!"

"Hey! I said that is enough!" Amanda said getting more angrier by the minute.

"Well, I don't care! I'LL say when I am done torturing him!" Karen snapped. "Besides, you are all going down anyway! Your tribe is the worst tribe in Survivor history!"

Amanda's face slowly turned red. "Say… That… Again!"

Karen smirked as she walked up to the older woman's face.

"Your… Tribe… Is… The… Worst…" The aristocrat said as if she was talking to an idiot.

That was it. That was all Amanda could take.

Surprising everyone, she leapt at Karen knocking her to the ground. The tribe gasped as Amanda started to slap Karen's face.

"Karen!" Tom gasped.

"AMANDA! What are ya doing!" Wally shouted in disbelief.

"Teaching her not to mess with you!" The nurse snapped slapping Karen again. "Her father should had done this a long time ago!"

"Amanda, stop it!" Tigerlily said before turning to Red. "Red, do something!"

The large man nodded his head before he ran over to the two human females. He then grabbed Amanda and lifted her up in the air letting Karen go. Tom immediately ran to his ally's side as he crouched down.

"Dear Karen! Are you all right?" The man asked concerned taking her hand.

"She hurt me! She hurt me, Tommy!" The girl said with tears running down her stinging face putting a hand on her face. "She could had permanently scarred my face! I'm done! I'm done! It's over! My life is ruined!"

She then growled as she glared at Amanda through misty eyes.

"That woman is an animal! She assaulted me!" Karen yelled. "I want this woman arrested! I want this woman shot! I want this woman EXPELLED!"

Wally's eyes widened in horror before he looked over at Amanda. "Expelled?"

(Soon)

Tiny stood in front of Amanda who looked down at her feet. The host crossed his arms and shook his head not happy by Amanda's act."Not good. Not good at all." Tiny scolded. "You know that assault is frowned upon on Survivor!"

"Hey! Karen and Tom were both bullying Wally!" Amanda insisted. "I had to do something!"

"That still doesn't justify your actions!" Tiny scolded. "If we can vent out all of our anger by punching everyone, then the show would be a lot more messier."

The other Survivors looked at a good distance away. Wally and Tigerlily frowned not liking where this was going. Karen and Tom on the other hand couldn't help but smirk.

Tiny sighed as he shook his head. "I don't know how this whole thing started or whose fault was it but you do NOT assault someone! No matter how much they tick you off. I really hope that we never have to come to this."

With that, he snapped his fingers. A man walked over to the dark-skinned boy with a flaming torch in his hand and the infamous snuffer in another. A few people gasped at this. The man put the torch in front of Tiny and gave him the snuffer. With that, he walked off.

"Amanda, you are the first person on Survivor: Xover Version to ever get excluded from the game." Tiny said grimly. "You are officially the eighth person voted out of Survivor."

With that, he put his snuffer over the torch extinguishing it. Amanda looked at the whole scene in horror not believing this was happening."All right. Before if you take away to the Loser's Lodge, you may say your Final Words." Tiny said.

Amanda was still stunned by what had happened. However, after accepting her fate, she nodded before she turned to the others.

"All right. I will do my best." Amanda agreed before turning to the others. "Karen, you are without a doubt the worst person I ever met and considering that they are a lot of jerks from my node, that is saying a lot. Tom, I actually used to feel sorry for you but obviously now, I feel nothing for you. Tigerlily, Red, make sure these creeps don't get out of hand."

With that, she looked at Wally who looked the most upset.

"And Wally… Don't let those guys get to you." Amanda explained. "I am still mad at you but I want to do well for the sake of Papi."

The kangaroo weakly nodded not looking to sure.

"Well, that is it. With Amanda being excluded from the game, Ah am officially in a 4-1 minority. If we lose the next Challenge, Ah am going home, no doubt." Wally lamented. "A part of me want ta takes Amanda's advice and stay strong but it is hard ta stay strong when we got 4 original Papi compared ta 8 Manos?"

"All right. Now it is time to go." Tiny said sternly. "Your ride to the Loser's Lodge awaits."

Amanda nodded as she followed the host out of camp with everyone staring at her. Nobody saw the tears flowing down Amanda's face.

"As much as that brat deserved it, looking back I realized what I done was stupid. Being on Survivor was one of my biggest dreams and I just messed it up by letting my temper get the best of me." Amanda said wiping away her tears. "If I cooled myself down, I would definitely had gone a little further. As much as I hate to admit it, I feel horrible for leaving Wally alone to fend for himself."

(Day 21, Mano Tribe)

Stinky walked over to the treemail box with his head hang down still upset over what happened yesterday.

"Hey, Stinky!"

The skunk winced before slowly turning around. He then found Allison walking over.

"What? You finally came to add your two cents about me? Well, hate to break it to ya, toots but Franklin already covered everything to say!" Stinky said rolling his eyes.

Allison held her arm. "Actually… I just wanted to ask if you are all right."

Stinky was completely threw in a loop by this. "What?"

"Yeah… You just seemed very upset when Franklin revealed to everyone that you was from StarWolf." Allison nodded.

Stinky scoffed as he looked to the side. "That's because I wanted to keep it a secret."

"Why?" Allison asked.

Stinky looked back at the alligator with wide eyes. "Are you serious! Would you honestly trust a guy who work for one of the most dangerous mercenaries in the Nintendo universe?"

"So? That Xigbar man from last season was one of the most notorious villains in Kingdom Hearts and most of the cast seems to like him." Allison shrugged. "I don't think you should based your opinion on someone just because of who they work for."

Stinky blinked twice before raising an eyebrow. "And why do you care?"

"Because… I thought what Franklin did was kinda mean. Taking a letter addressed to you alone and all and reading it out to everyone." Allison said.

Stinky stood in stunned silence. "So… You aren't going to judge me?

Allison shook her head. "No.

"I know Stinky is not the nicest person here but I just know that he isn't a monster. He is just a grump. Besides, I felt sorry for him being all alone like that." Allison sighed. "Especially since I always isolating myself so I kinda know how he feels."

Stinky blinked twice before scratching the back of his head.

"I don't know… Um, what to say…" The mechanic said. "But, um, thank you…"

Allison giggled a little. "No problem."

"I still don't believe it… Out of all of the people to comfort me and make me feel better is the person who I brutally verbally attacked on Day 8." Stinky mused before looking to the side sadly. "I must admit that I apologized to her to save my tail but I truly do feel bad for what I said. If I was in her shoes, I wouldn't even give the time of day."

Stinky then went into the treemail box and pulled out a letter.

"Looks like we got another Challenge." Stinky mused. "Let's hope we can continue our streak."

Allison nodded. "Let's go tell the others."

The two anthro teenagers then went back to camp to relay the message to everyone.

"Hey, guys? We have treemail." Allison said.

"Sweet. What we got this time?" Tea asked.

"It just says… "Have you ever wanted to be a waiter or waitress?" Stinky read.

Everyone blinked twice as they looked around.

"I must admit. I am at a loss as to what the clue is about." Schokolade said scratching her head.

"Yeah, that is confusing, even for them." Tea nodded.

"Since when does working at a restaurant has to do anything with Survivor? I know that the clues are always vague but they don't give us much to assume." Greg frowned. "All we could can do is prepare for anything."

(Immunity Challenge)

Both tribes walked onto their tribe mats. However, the Mano tribe was quick to notice that they were one short.

Greg looked around for a moment. "Amanda?"

"Gone, mate." Wally said shaking his head in despair.

"Amanda had assaulted on the other tribe-mates and got herself excluded from the game." Tiny explained. "Let this be a reminder for not only you but future Survivors. Violence is never the answer on Survivor."

The Mano tribe, especially the original Papi members looked shocked and horrified that another Papi was lost even though she never had a single vote against her.

"Now, let's get to our next Challenge." Tiny said. "It is quite simple. You would be holding up a tray with one hand. On them would be four wine glasses stacked on top of each other. You have to hold them like that for as long as possible. If you drop them, you are out. If the opposing tribe loses all of them members, you win Immunity for your tribe."

Everyone looked at each other knowing this was a test of balance and concentration.

"Now, Mano, you have two extra members. Who are you sitting out?" Tiny asked.

"Allison and Becky." Tea said.

"All right. Girls, come sit with me. Everyone else get into positions." Tiny said.

(Later)

It took a while but everyone had managed to get into positions.

"All right! For Immunity!" Tiny said. "The Challenge is now on!"

Everyone looked determined. They all seemed to be doing quite well for the first while.

However, two minutes later, Wally accidentally tilted his tray dropping the glasses down.

"Wally is out!"

"Aw, nuts…" The kangaroo frowned before walking off towards the girls.

"All right. Let's see how everyone is doing?" Tiny asked. "Tea, you are the smallest person here. Do you think you would be at a disadvantage?"

"Hey, just because I am a kid doesn't mean I am a pushover. Sure, I am not as strong and fast and the others but I can still do things just as good as adults." The young girl smirked.

"Greg, what is going through your mind right down?" Tiny asked.

"I just want to keep completely focused to keep my balance." The large man explained.

"Red, what is your strategy?" Tiny quizzed.

"Um, well. I…" The demon started before he tilted his tray by mistake dropping his glasses. "Oh, look what you made me do!"

Tiny blinked twice as he watched Red storm off. "Um, Red is out."

The Mano tribe smirked happy that they were two up already. However, they knew that they had to be careful.

It had been another five minutes before Tiny decided to ask questions again.

"Karen, I have to say this. I am surprised that you are still in." The host said. "I mean you definitely don't seem like the type to do this kind of work."

The girl couldn't help but smirk. "My parents had taught me everything about proper poise and posture. In fact, I could balance one book on my head for a whole day."

Tiny looked a little stunned by this. "Riiiiight. How about you, Tigerlily?"

The tigress just smirked. "I always wanted to be a waitress. This is without a doubt my favourite Challenge so far!"

"So Schokolade. What is going through your mind right now?" Tiny asked.

"How distracting your annoying banter is." The soldier said simply.

Tiny blinked twice before looking away. "All right. Fault a guy for doing his job."

Suddenly, something tickled Stinky's nose. He then realized that he was going to sneeze.

"Oh no… I… Ah… Ah… Achoo!" The teenager said before sneezing on Schokolade's back taking her by surprise and making them both dropped their glasses.

"Stinky and Schokolade are both out!" Tiny shouted.

Schokolade then glared at Stinky who wiped his nose.

"Sorry…" The skunk apologized.

"You have no idea how you lucky you are that we are allies right now." Schokolade said darkly as the two walked off.

"All right… Seeing that it is safe now." Tiny said. "Tom, I am impressed that you still in."

"Well, let's just say I am a little bit more confident now." The producer smirked.

"Franklin, how are you doing?" Tiny asked.

"Just fine." The knight smirked. "This type of thing will help me becoming a Champion."

"Um, right." Tiny asked looking at Allison and Becky. "I have to ask. How long do you girls think you would had lasted."

"Not too long. My nerves would lost me the Challenge in the first minute." Allison said shaking her head.

"Yeah and I have a hard time standing here in one place for so long as I would be out early too." Becky shrugged.

Red looked at the opposing tribe while thinking about something. Suddenly, he smirked evilly.

"Hey, Schokolade! Why are you heading towards Tiny in a suspicious manner like that?" The demon shouted at the top of his lungs.

Franklin's eyes bugged out before he whirled around. "Unhand that host, you villain!"

However, not only did not over his own glasses, he accidentally struck Greg in the chest making him stagger back dropping his glass. Tea screeched realizing he was heading towards her. With a yipe, she dove out of the way ditching her tray all together.

Tiny blinked twice before speaking. "All right. I guess that everyone was Mano is out. PAPI WINS IMMUNITY!"

The Papi tribe cheered for the win as everyone glared at Franklin who looked down in shame.

(Later)

"Good work, Papi on winning Immunity and your first Challenge as a tribe." Tiny said as Red smirked before the former turned to the Mano tribe. "As for the rest of you, you got a date with me with Tribal Council. You may head back to camp."

(Mano Tribe)

"We lost the Challenge today which is never fun. Thankfully, I think we have a concrete alliance now and will be able to turn the tables around." Becky explained. "Hopefully revealing Stinky to Allison that he is from StarWolf would convince her to vote with us."

Stinky stood in front of Schokolade and Tea.

"All right. It is all or nothing now. You have to talk to Allison one more time about convincing her to vote with us." Schokolade said crossing her arms.

"Yeah, this could be our only chance for us three." Tea nodded.

"Way to lay the pressure." Stinky muttered before speaking up. "Don't worry, I think I would be able to convince her."

With that, the skunk walked off with the two girls watching them."Are you sure that it is okay to leave our fate in the game with Stinky?" Tea asked.

"We unfortunately don't have a choice on the matter since Stinky been with Allison more than us." Schokolade explained.

"True." Tea frowned with her ears drooping.

"This is it. Whichever side Allison chooses to vote with would decide the majority for this tribe. I must say, I am really nervous here." Tea frowned. "I don't like it when my fate is on the line and I have little to no control over it."

Meanwhile, Greg, Franklin and Becky were talking with each other. The former had his head down.

"Are you all right, Greg?" Becky asked concerned.

"…I-I am just so shocked that Amanda would throw away her game like that." The large man said shaking his head sadly.

"When we came to the Immunity Challenge, I learned that my only ally pre-Tribal Swap had assaulted somebody else and got herself kicked out of the game." Greg said in disbelief. "I knew that she had a short temper but never had I imagined that she would let it ruin the game for her."

"Yes, your elimination was quite the shock." Franklin frowned.

"I don't know which fate is worse." Becky winced. "Dormie's or Amanda's?"

"Both are equally terrible. However, Dormie had no control over her fate." Franklin sighed. "As harsh as it sounds, I thought she was a better player than that."

Greg sighed.

"Anyway, I know that you are mourning your loss of your ally but may I have your attention for a minute?" Franklin asked.

"Um, sure." Greg said.

"I know we have an agreement but we need to change targets." Franklin said narrowing his eyes.

"Come again?" Greg said surprised.

"It was already proven that Stinky could not afford to be trusted." Franklin said sternly. "We need to get rid of him ASAP."

Greg raised an eyebrow. "You distrust him more than Schokolade?"

"As much as I hate to admit it, yes." Franklin sighed. "Besides, she is next, anyway. Also, this gives Allison a great reason to vote off Stinky."

Greg looked to the side. "I guess…"

"So can we count on you?" Franklin asked.

Greg nodded. "I'll see what I would do."

With that, he walked off.

"Do you think we got this?" Becky asked.

"Of course." Franklin smirked. "I am sure of it."

"I don't see any reason Allison would keep Stinky after I had revealed the villain beneath. After all, would you trust an accomplice to a wanted criminal?" Franklin said crossing his arms. "After we vote him out, we could focus on Schokolade."

Meanwhile, Stinky walked over to Allison who was sitting at the fire pit.

However, he quickly noticed that she was crying again. Stinky then walked over.

"Hey." Stinky said getting the alligator's attention.

"Oh, hi, Stinky." Allison said wiping away her tears.

"What's wrong?" The mechanic asked.

"It is… Just that… This is the third Papi member we lost in a period of five days!" Allison frowned.

"Yeah, that is seriously messed up." Stinky frowned.

"In less than a week, we kept losing our members. First, I lost my best friend out here. Next, I lost our leader. And now we lost ANOTHER member without her ever going to a Tribal Council." Allison said drying her eyes. "When are we ever going to get a break? When would things would ever look up for us?"

"I am sorry… This is just so hard…" The teenaged girl sighed.

Stinky blinked twice before looking around trying to figure out what he should do. He was actually conflicted about what to do. He then sighed before sitting down next to Allison.

"Normally, I would straight up say that crying would not help us out in our predicament. However, I thought against it." Stinky said before looking to the side. "I dunno. I just don't want to bring down the only person who actually talked to me."

"Listen, I know this look grim but we still have hope." The skunk reassured.

"R-Really?" Allison said weakly.

"Yeah, Schokolade actually gave us the option to stay with her." Stinky reassured. "She says that she was willing to vote out not only the opposing alliance but also vote off Karen and Tom as well."

"What about Greg?" Allison asked.

Stinky's eyes widened before he looked away. "Um, well…"

Allison sighed. "This is what I am talking about. Where you two are at each other's throats even though you had just witnessed three of our original tribe-mates got voted off! This is just going to decrease our chances."

"Well, I know you don't want to hear this but there is nothing we can do about that…" Stinky frowned.

"Not necessarily."

The anthros' eyes widened before they turned to see Greg walking over.

"Greg? What are you doing here?" Allison asked.

The strongman sighed as he looked at the ground. "I got something to talk to you about."

The two looked at each other wondering what he wanted.

(Tribal Council)

The newly-formed Mano tribe made their way to Tribal Council for the first time where Tiny was waiting..

"Welcome, Mano tribe." Tiny said. "Please take a seat."

Everyone nodded as they sat down.

"So Greg, how are you fitting in within your new tribe?" Tiny asked.

"Pretty good. The Manoers were very open to us and shown us around." The spiky-haired man explained.

"So you are all getting along?" Tiny asked.

"Um, I wouldn't exactly say that." Greg said.

"That is NEVER a good answer." Tiny frowned. "Tea, do you have any idea what Greg means?"

"Well, ever since the Tribal Swap, the tribe had now been divided." The hybrid girl explained.

"Between Mano and Papi?" Tiny asked.

"Um, no. Between me, Schokolade and Stinky and Franklin, Greg and Becky." Tea shrugged.

"Really? Schokolade, how things became that way?" Tiny asked.

"Well, Bryan's alliance had always been at odds with us and apparently so had Stinky and Greg." The one-eyed woman shrugged.

"I think I heard about the conflict between your alliances but the Stinky and Greg rivalry is news to me." Tiny said. "Stinky, care to elaborate on this?"

"Well, Greg had always been gunning for me since Day 8." The young man said crossing his arms. "This is proper self-defence."

"You know fully well why I been gunning for you." Greg said without turning his head.

"Hey, at least I apologized for it!" Stinky snapped.

"Now, now." Tiny scolded. "If from what is said is correct, Allison, then you are the swing vote, right?"

"Right. This is the second time I am actually in a position like this." The alligator said. "However, I don't like it one bit. I mean we already lost three Papi players. One of them never even had a single vote cast against her! And now we are going against each other."

"I see. Franklin, how did you enjoy the pizza and letters?" Tiny asked.

"Oh, I quite enjoyed them." The knight said with a smirk. "Especially since we learned a little something about our new tribe-mate."

"What was that?"

"This ironhead took my letter and read it to everyone that I am from StarWolf!" Stinky snapped. "And here I thought you had a sense of honour."

"Even having honour has limits when it comes to revealing villains like you to the world." Franklin said narrowing his eyes.

"Um…"

Everyone then looked at Allison.

"Can I say something?" The girl said.

"Of course." Tiny offered.

"Are you going against Stinky because he is from StarWolf?" Allison asked.

"But, of course. That mercenary group are three of the most vilest enemies of justice in the universe!" Franklin said crossing his arms.

"Okay, here is another question." Allison asked. "Is some of the champions an assassin and a cat burglar?"

"Um, yes." Franklin said.

"And do you always judge them that they are evil even though the Eternal Champion had chosen to be Champions." Allison said.

Everyone looked stunned at this.

"You had been bugging Stinky ever since you revealed to everyone that he was from StarWolf. Which by the way was totally mean!" Allison said narrowing her eyes. "Also, you cost us the Challenge because Red said that Schokolade was doing something sneaky."

Franklin sat in stunned silence not believing his ears.

"For these last three days, you been annoying us non-stop purposely provoking Stinky so you two could fight." Allison said crossly. "I am sick of tired of this and I think that even though we all are at odds, we can all agree that this has to end tonight!"

Everyone looked at the woman with slack jaws not believing that Allison actually said all of those things. However, Stinky suddenly smirked.

"Wow… What a way to end the questions." Tiny said slowly. "All right. It's time to vote. "

The muscular man nodded as he got up and went over to the voting table. However, as he did so, he had his head down low.

Becky walked over to the table. Giving a deep breath, she took the pen and wrote down a name. "You are a very mean and grumpy person." She said holding up "Stinky" to the camera.

Tea casually walked over to the table before skipping up the stool. She quickly voted down a name, put it in the urn and bounded off.

Stinky smirked as he whistled a jovial tune making his way to the voting area before grabbing a pen. "Oh man, I couldn't thought of a better demise for a deluded idiot like you!" He laughed holding up "Franklin" to the camera.

Allison walked over to the voting table knowing exactly who to vote for. She actually looked quite satisfied as she voted down a name.

Franklin marched over looking a little worried about the vote. Taking a deep breath, he grabbed the pen. "Hopefully, Allison's outburst was just a warning not to be so forward." He said holding up "Stinky" to the camera.

Schokolade made her way into the voting table looking just as content as Stinky and Allison. With a smirk, she wrote down a name. "Well, I believe it is safe to say that this is the final nail on your coffin." She said holding up "Franklin" to the camera.

She then made her way back. Tiny then got up.

"I'll get the votes." He said.

Everyone was looking forward to the votes as he made his way back with the urn.

"I'll read them out. Remember, whoever gets voted out has to leave the Tribal Council area immediately."

"First vote, Franklin."

Franklin crossed his arms.

"Second vote, Franklin. Two votes, Franklin."

Franklin narrowed his eyes knowing that this was it.

"Third vote, Stinky. Two votes, Franklin. One vote, Stinky."

"Seriously?" Stinky said in mock surprise as Franklin rolled his eyes.

"Fourth vote, Stinky. We are tied at two votes each with Franklin and Stinky."

Stinky merely smirked not looking nervous at all.

"Fifth vote, Franklin. Three votes, Franklin. Two votes, Stinky."

Franklin nodded hoping for the best.

"Ninth person voted out of Survivor AND first member of our jury… Is Franklin."

Franklin and Becky both looked thunder-struck at this. Greg looked away sadly as everyone else looked satisfied by the vote.

"Franklin, you need to bring me your torch."

The knight stood up and looked at Greg with an indifferent stare who continued to avoid eye-contact with him.

"Et tu, Greg?" He said before taking his torch and looking at Becky who was still stunned. "Stay strong, little squire."

With that, he walked over to Tiny and placed his torch in front of him.

"Franklin, the tribe has spoken." Tiny said putting his snuffer over the torch extinguishing it. "You may now go."

"I will redeem this shameful failure on the jury." Franklin said walking off.

Tiny watched the knight left before turning to the others. "Well, it looks like Franklin never saw that coming. Perhaps the alliances aren't as concrete as everyone seems. Let's hope that he doesn't stay bitter when he gave his jury question. You may head back to camp."

Everyone grabbed their torches and walked out. Most of them looked quite happy with the vote. However, Becky brought up the rear looking like she was about to have a mental breakdown.

"I am confused as to what just happened. I thought that revealing Stinky that he was from StarWolf would convince Allison to vote with us and concrete Greg's hatred of him but no. BOTH of them voted me off. WHY?" Franklin said flustered before shaking his head. "At least I made jury and is given the power to vote for a deserving winner."

RESULTS

Amanda: N/A

Franklin: Allison, Greg, Schokolade, Stinky, Tea

Stinky: Becky, Franklin

And there is it. A double-boot episode. Amanda was always going to leave the game via being excluded for hitting someone who was being a jerk. I know that she is one of the biggest characters of the series and a three-dimensional but I knew that I had to do this to make sure boot more surprising.

As for Franklin, he was simply put as a filler character for Bryan's alliance. However, as I was writing for him, I really liked his character despite he acted like a deluded man with a very poor judge of character.

Note: Amanda was a very old character of mine who actually works for Stewart. She wasn't always so short-tempered but she definitely had her hot-headed moments.

Note2: Franklin was always an Eternal Champions fan-character. A Medieval knight would fit right in the series, wouldn't it? The only main difference was he was a teenager of the "Cute Shotaro Boy" variety.
