Previously on, Survivor,
With Maxwell gone, Meloetta and Marge knew their alliance might be in trouble once the merge got underway. Meloetta told Marge that it was willing to throw immunity challenges in order to become that meatshield to protect its alliance. Meanwhile, Yuki told Zoe about Shinnok being involved in the alliance, and told her not to worry about him.
Meanwhile at Brio, Dark Pit, Shinnok, and Inkling planned out the future of the game. They had Nigel, Zoe, and Mangle waiting for them on the other tribe, so they believed they had the numbers. Meanwhile, Dr. Mario warned Erron Black and Pikachu that Dark Pit was trying to get him to flip, but told him he would use it to his advantage to gain information.
On Day 18, the two tribes finally merged into a single tribe. They would live at the Cortex camp, and become the Electroshock tribe.
The new merged tribe learned of a hidden immunity idol hidden back at their camp. It was confirmed to be a classic idol, and not the special idol. Meanwhile, at night, Erron Black and Dr. Mario claimed their Chosen One's Alliance reward; two immunity challenge advantages.
Clearly, the alliance between Dr. Mario, Erron, Pikachu, Marge, and Meloetta all felt on the outside of things, and knew that Yuki would be key to get to flip. Meloetta also encouraged its allies to win immunity at the next challenge. Meanwhile, the Zim Invaders were reunited and discussed plans for the future. Zoe and Mangle told Inkling about the Final 6 alliance offered by Nigel and Yuki, and Inkling immediately agreed to it.
At the immunity challenge, Dr. Mario and Marge held on the longest in order to win individual immunity. Although both were given their wins after Dark Pit and Meloetta dropped out to give them an edge.
Before tribal council, Meloetta told Dr. Mario and Erron Black to work their magic to get information and get allies. Their target was Shinnok, and they hoped to either send him home, or force the purple rock. Erron and Yuki had their talk, and after Yuki agreed to the plan, Erron made a secret deal with him to have an alliance when it was most convenient.
Later on, Dark Pit finally managed to get Dr. Mario alone and drunk, telling him all the secrets he needed to know for the time being. He told him that Meloetta was the target, or Erron Black if something changed. After getting his mission done, he told Nigel and Shinnok that they were set for the night. Minutes before tribal council, Yuki and Nigel spoke about Erron Black's offer, and while Nigel wasn't all for it, but gave Yuki an idea to think about.
At tribal council, Dr. Mario was totally drunk and let loose so many secrets. He revealed the Chosen One's Alliance, and exposed everyone in it as best as he could. Because of this, Shinnok subtly changed the vote from Meloetta to Erron Black; a player listed in the alliance. With Yuki throwing a hinky vote to Shinnok, and Dr. Mario casting a vote towards Erron, Erron was blindsided in a 7-5 vote, becoming the first member of the jury. 11 are left, who'll be voted out tonight?
Final 11: Dark Pit, Dr. Mario, Inkling, Mangle, Marge, Meloetta, Nigel, Pikachu, Shinnok, Yuki, and Zoe
Jury: Erron Black

Electroshock Day 21
Meloetta and Pikachu helped bring Dr. Mario back to camp after he passed out at tribal council.
Marge shook his head, "Just leave him there for now.. once he's sober we'll talk some sense into him. I can't believe he did what he did."
"Last night was just... unbelievable to my eyes. Dr. Mario was not himself, and it just really confused me as to why he was. Maybe that was a side I never knew about him, but right now it's not looking good for us. Erron Black is gone, and we're up a creek without a paddle." - Marge
"But how did he get drunk?" exclaimed Pikachu, "We never got beer as a reward! I mean.. yeah.. when we went to a breakfast barbeque we got beer but... Dingodile kept it out of our hands."
"Perhaps he stole it behind his back?" wondered Marge.
Meloetta sighed a little, "I know the truth, but I'm going to wait for him to find it for himself. Perhaps once he does, he might feel horrible about what he has done."
"I'm beyond upset that I wasn't voted off last night. I think I was going home until Dr. Mario revealed the Chosen One's Alliance. Then they voted off Erron instead. What a shame, because he wasn't the biggest threat. I do believe if I'm not voted off next, I'll give them more reason to." - Meloetta
"What do we do now?" asked Pikachu, frowning a little.
Marge shook her head, "I don't know hun... I just don't know."
"Well, wasn't there a fifth vote for Shinnok last night...? It clearly was not Dr. Mario's vote. Perhaps someone will be in trouble on that other alliance." noted Meloetta quietly.
"Then we'll have to figure out who it was." replied Pikachu.
"I should already be a threat to everyone here because I am a psychic legendary pokemon. Shouldn't that be enough to make me the biggest threat here? I'm not entirely pleased about that, in all honesty. Although... I do have my Relic Song... and if push comes to shove... I'll use it." - Meloetta
Meanwhile, instead the cave, the rest of the players were in there, consisting of Shinnok, Dark Pit, Nigel, Yuki, Zoe, Mangle, and Inkling.
Shinnok was pacing back and forth in the shelter, shaking his head, "So if Dr. Mario cast that seventh vote... someone here care to explain who cast that fifth vote for me?"
"Wasn't me darling... that was most complexing to be honest." replied Zoe.
Inkling nodded, "Yeah, I agree dude. That means someone in this group is lying about being loyal right now."
"So Dr. Mario clearly states that his vote was meant to be cast towards Erron Black. But there was still a fifth vote written down against Shinnok and he wasn't happy about it at all! I know it wasn't me, Zoe, or Mangle. The three of us are going to remain loyal to the end. So if it's not us... then..." - Inkling
Yuki shook his head, "I'm all new to this thing, so it wasn't me."
Nigel nodded his head, "I can attest to Yuki's claim. He voted for Erron last night."
Shinnok nodded, ignoring them, "Well then... if that person speaks up now.. you will be forgiven, but not forgotten. However... lie about it... and you will be voted out immediately."
"I want to lead my alliance to the end of this game for as long as I can. However, if there are people who want to play like fools, then they shall end their game like the fools that they are. Nobody wants to step up to tell the truth, so someone is lying right to my face, and it's going to blow up." - Shinnok
"So wait, you're going on a witch hunt?" asked Yuki, "But... we don't have the numbers to risk one, Shinnok."
"Then I suppose it's not my fault somebody wanted to make a foolish mistake, now is it? I'm playing to protect myself, and the people in my alliance." replied Shinnok, grimly.
"It might put someone's game in jeopardy if you target the wrong player." reminded Yuki.
"That shouldn't be a problem at all, Yuki. For I will not target anyone until I have reasonable evidence. Believe me, I will not miss my target." grinned Shinnok.
"Shinnok preparing for a witch hunt worries the crap out of me. I know I'm the low man on the totem pole over here, and he's smart enough to sniff me out as the hinky vote. My and Nigel's plan worked out, but now I fear it could backfire on me, if we're not too careful." - Yuki

Electroshock Day 21
Marge was sitting down inside the cave later that day, next to a sleeping Dr. Mario. He had yet to wake up after his drunken antics the previous night.
Marge looked over at him, and sighed, "It's not your fault Dr. Mario. At least I sure hope it wasn't."
"Dr. Mario should be more responsible than what we give him credit for. I have no idea how or who gave him beer to drink, but I believe depending on the situation, he may be devastated by what he did. Knowing my husband, I'm sure Dr. Mario will come to his senses just like Homer does." - Marge
Couple of minutes later, Dr. Mario woke up groggily, wobbling a little, suffering from a hangover, "Ughh... what day is it...?"
"Day 21." replied Marge, looking down at him.
"Whoa wait... what..? Then... then I missed tribal council... or wait... it happened..?" muttered Dr. Mario, trying to keep himself steady.
Marge shook her head, "No, it has happened. Erron was voted off last night. Our plan failed, and it was your fault."
Dr. Mario blinked, "What..? What did I do...?"
"You were drunk last night, and you apparently voted against Erron which was enough to send him home 7-5." explained Marge.
"I have no idea what happened last night... but Marge was happy to fill me in. Can't believe I got drunk last night... but how? I barely remember anything that happened yesterday or even last night... hell... I forgot I even won immunity. I just hope there's more to this story." - Dr. Mario
Dr. Mario shook his head, "No... no #%#%... did I really?" When Marge nodded her head, Dr. Mario sighed deeply, "Damn it... I #%#%ed everything up..."
"Do you remember anything yesterday..?" asked Marge, "How did you even get beer?"
Dr. Mario gave it some thought, "Well... I do remember leaving to get information from Dark Pit... Dark Pit... oh #%#%. I remember him... grabbing a bottle of something..."
"Ah, so Dark Pit had beer on him. From what, can you recall?" asked Marge.
"I believe there was some from that... that barbeque we went to for reward... can't believe he was able to smuggle it." replied Dr. Mario.
"Eventually I was able to learn that Dark Pit had beer on him, and I bet you anything he wanted Dr. Mario to drink it so he could spill out his guts on everything in the game. Well I can tell you that he succeeded, and it was a dirty little trick. Dr. Mario is a victim here, and it's not right." - Marge
Marge placed a hand on Dr. Mario's shoulders, "You still have your advantages... use them, and teach that Dark Pit a lesson, okay? He's responsible for sending Erron home, and we will get back at him."
Dr. Mario nodded, coughing a little as he rubbed his head, "Right... okay. Thank you Marge... glad you're not pissed off at me."
Marge chuckled, "Well now that I know what happened, I'm not disappointed in you. I'll go clear your name to Meloetta and Pikachu for you. You just lay here and get some rest, okay?"
Marge smiled at him, and left after Dr. Mario nodded softly.
"Dark Pit took advantage of my low tolerance, and I can't let him get away with it. I'll play coy with him... make him think we're still good... and then he's going to pay for what he did. I really hate being taken advantage of, so Dark Pit, you messed with the wrong doctor." - Dr. Mario
Meanwhile, Yuki and Zoe were relaxing by the oasis, speaking about the proposed witch hunt that Shinnok started.
"I don't like what Shinnok is doing," said Yuki, "I know he's going to target me first, being the new guy in the alliance."
Zoe nodded, "Maybe so, darling. But you weren't the one that voted for Shinnok were you?"
"I'll be honest with you, yes I was. I wanted him to freak out and lose his footing in the game," explained Yuki, "Clearly wasn't the best idea, but I'll take what I can get."
"Nigel and Zoe are my best two allies in the game. I do worry that Zoe has more loyalty to the girls rather than myself. However, seeing that she's a romantic and smitten with me... I might be able to bring her over onto my side if I try hard enough. After all, I need her with me." - Yuki
Zoe nodded, "Well dear, I can give you my word that I will not write your name down, and will convince Mangle and Inkling not to either."
Yuki raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure about that? You don't think Inkling's found new friends in Shinnok and Dark Pit, being on the Brio tribe?"
"Oh well... uh... maybe? I don't know, darling, I think she'll remain loyal to us." replied Zoe.
"Inkling's smarter than she looks. She knows she'll stand a better chance against those guys, and Mangle is her little pet. Mark my words Zoe. You will get burned if you stay with them." warned Yuki.
"I trust Yuki a lot. Possibly a lot more than I trust Inkling. True he has turned his back on me during the Yuffie vote, but I know his intentions are genuine. I cannot let Yuki down, nor allow him to be voted off at this point. But... turning on the Zim Invaders... I can't think about that now." - Zoe
– – – – –
"Come on in guys!"
The remaining players arrived at the challenge area.
"Guys ready for today's reward challenge?"
Everyone nodded.
"For today's challenge, you will be split into two teams of five. You will be running an obstacle course, passing a torch to reach player as you complete the obstacles. First player will run through a hay stack, grabbing the torch after getting out. Second player will climb up a rope crawl, and pass the torch on. Third player will swing on a rope across a gap to the other side, passing the torch on. Fourth player will have to climb underneath a crawl through, trying to keep the flame going as best as possible. Fifth and final player will have to break down a brick wall, and eventually light the burning man on fire. If your torch goes out, you must start over from the beginning of the obstacle. First team to finish wins reward."
"For your reward, you will get to go hang gliding across Dingo Canyon. Once you land at the end, you will enjoy a barbeque feast and return full of energy and ready to play in the immunity challenge. Let's get started."
TEAM A
In order: Inkling, Nigel, Dark Pit, Mangle, and Dr. Mario
TEAM B
In order: Meloetta, Shinnok, Pikachu, Zoe, and Marge.
"Yuki was not selected to participate in today's reward challenge, and instead will join the tribe he's rooting for on reward should they win. The team he chose is Team A. Survivors ready? GO!"
Inkling and Meloetta barged into the hay stack, and tried to wiggle their way through the heavy load of hay. Meloetta was the first one to get out of it, grabbing the torch on the other end, and passing it on to Shinnok.
Shinnok summoned a bone hand to hold the torch for him as he climbed up the rope net. Once he was up, the bone hand handed the torch back to him as he handed it off to Pikachu. Meanwhile, Inkling made it out of the haystack, grabbing the torch and passing it off to Nigel, hoping for him to make up loss time.
Pikachu swung on the rope, but missed her mark, falling onto the net below, forcing her to start over. Nigel climbed up the rope net, being careful with the torch as he passed the second obstacle, and passed the torch on to Dark Pit.
Dark Pit took only one swing of the rope to get over the gap, while Pikachu failed a few times over and over again. However, Pikachu managed to get the hang of the rope swing, and got over the gap. Mangle and Zoe were the next two up to clear an obstacle.
Luckily for Zoe, she was small enough to go through the crawl through. However, carrying a torch wasn't easy for her, and she kept getting it put out time and time again, forcing her to start over and crawl back out numerous times. Mangle had no trouble with the crawl through, and made it out without losing her flame. Dr. Mario was up next to finish the course.
Because Zoe was losing so much time at the crawl through, the challenge was practically over by this point. Dr. Mario punched through the brick wall easily, and ran through it to light the burning man on fire, clearing the course for Team A.
"It's over! DR. MARIO, DARK PIT, MANGLE, INKLING, AND NIGEL WIN REWARD!"
All of Team A hugged and cheered.
"Great job to everyone today! All of you worked pretty hard, and you will be enjoying an amazing reward today! Yuki, since you were rooting for this team, you will get to join them on reward. Hang gliding, barbeque, and more await you. Go on and enjoy! Shinnok, Zoe, Pikachu, Marge, and Meloetta? Got nothing for you, head on back to camp. I will see you all at the immunity challenge."

Reward Day 22
The six reward winners arrived at the hang gliding location. This took place on a pretty steep cliff overlooking Dingo Canyon.
Inkling laughed, "I think we were the best team suited for this reward. Most of the girls on the other team are cowards when it came to this stuff anyway."
"Dude, I got to hang glide today! Most of my time back home is spent fighting in Turf Wars, and exploring Inkopolis! Something like this makes my blood pump, and my adrenaline flowing! I'm glad we went on this reward, man, because I don't think the other team would have liked this part." - Inkling
Dark Pit scoffed at the hang gliders off to the side, letting his black wings extend behind him, "Forget that. I'm going to glide on my own." With that said, he jumped off the cliff, and started to glide down towards the location marked on their map.
Dr. Mario rolled his eyes, mumbling under his breath, "Show off..."
Inkling and Dark Pit were already gliding off the cliff, heading down to the barbeque location. Yuki and Mangle decided to share a glider, while Dr. Mario and Nigel went on their own.
"I'm not fond of heights really, so I decided to go with Yuki so that I wouldn't be entirely alone going down. It was exciting to be honest, but really I wouldn't want to do that no matter how badly my Fredbear wanted to. Let's just say I'm fragile, after all." - Mangle
Eventually, everyone landed near the barbeque location, and sat down around the table, awaiting the delicious food.
"Now this is what I needed after 22 days!" boasted Dr. Mario, "A big meal, and people to share it with, for the most part."
"Maybe this will get your mind off of all that beer you had." joked Inkling.
Dr. Mario rolled his eyes, "Don't remind me."
"I don't really have anyone to share this moment with. All my allies are back home eating... well whatever it is we eat on Survivor. Rice, beans, all that boring crap. I don't like Mangle, can't stand Inkling, and I hate Dark Pit even more after what he did to me. So yeah... great reward.." - Dr. Mario
Dark Pit smirked, "Know what I need after 22 days? Some relaxation. Being around you losers is hard enough."
Inkling laughed, "Oh you secretly love us, Pittoo! Don't even deny it."
Dark Pit rolled his eyes, "Didn't I tell you not to use that nickname, Juli?"
"Of course not, but," snickered Inkling, before leaning in to kiss Dark Pit on the cheek, "You won't care if I use it from time to time."
Dark Pit grumbled softly with a blush on his cheeks from the kiss.
"Listen, I hated coming into this game because I knew the social aspect was going to be rough. But you know what... 22 days out here... I think I've seen enough. Time to put up with being a social butterfly and suck up. I need the money anyway, so I better just deal with it, and make it big." - Dark Pit
Later on, Nigel noticed a note on the table, and grabbed it, "Hey guys, look at this. It's a note. More then that.. it's a clue to the hidden immunity idol."
Yuki noticed it, a little surprised that Nigel showed everyone rather than keep it secret. Nigel then proceeded to show the clue to everyone.
Afterwards, Yuki whispered to Nigel, "The hell? You didn't sneak the clue away?"
"Dr. Mario had his eyes on it all afternoon. I couldn't allow myself to swipe it and get away with it." confessed Nigel.
"If I can get my hands on the hidden immunity idol, I can prepare myself for Shinnok's inevitable witch hunt against me. I'm pretty sure he's coming after me once the numbers are right, so if I can get the idol, I can protect myself. With Nigel on my side, he can keep me in check and prepared." - Yuki
– – – – –
Electroshock Day 22
Down by the oasis, Pikachu, Marge, and Meloetta were having a talk about a few things going on.
"So what did Dr. Mario have to say for himself?" asked Pikachu.
Marge smiled warmly, "Well, I can only say that he's completely sorry about what he did, and that it wasn't his fault. Dark Pit got him drunk, from what Dr. Mario could remember."
Pikachu was surprised, "Wait, really? Do you think that's what happened when he left to go talk with him that day? Wow! Pika!"
"I was mad at Dr. Mario for voting out Erron, but now I feel a little sorry for him. He let his ego get the best of him, and Dark Pit managed to use his low tolerance against him, and I just don't think that's right at all, pika! While Dark Pit deserves to go for that alone, he's not the biggest threat." - Pikachu
"So he's not going to do anything stupid again?" asked Pikachu.
Marge shrugged, "It's really hard to tell, but I know for sure he's going to vote with us at the next vote. Now we just need to figure out who that fifth vote was."
"I highly suspect it to be Yuki. He does seem like the odd one out of that group of players." suggested Meloetta.
"You look at the alliance, and you see Shinnok, Dark Pit, and Nigel as a trio. From experience, I know that Inkling, Zoe, and Mangle are together. So, it just seems obvious to me that Yuki is the odd one out. He has his relationships with the others, but he's definitely the most obvious fifth vote." - Meloetta
"If it was Yuki, we'll have to see if he'll vote against Shinnok a second time at the next vote, pika!" replied Pikachu.
"But that'll still be five votes. Majority will be six." reminded Meloetta.
Marge nodded, "Hmm... well, I think Yuki was pretty close with Nigel, but then again if what we know is true, Nigel might be close with Shinnok, and that's no good."
"We'll just have to see what happens when we all regroup for tomorrow's vote!" smiled Pikachu.
"I do intend on trying to win individual immunity today. But not for me. I'll be winning it to ensure someone from my alliance is safe should they not be able to win it themselves. Pikachu might be the biggest threat if I'm safe so... if I win today, I'm giving my immunity to her before the vote." - Meloetta
Meanwhile, sitting down in the cave, Zoe and Shinnok were talking about Shinnok's witch hunt plan.
"So uhh... oh boy... Shinnok?" asked Zoe, a little nervous about approaching him at first.
Shinnok looked down at her, "What is it, pup?"
Zoe rolled her eyes a little, and spoke, "You know darling... have you figured out who might be that fifth vote against you? I can assure you that it wasn't myself.. Inkling... Mangle.. or even Yuki. Perhaps you're just... paranoid."
"You cannot be blind. There were five votes, and I know Nigel and Dark Pit wouldn't put my name down on the parchment. It was clearly one of you." replied Shinnok rather sternly.
Zoe nodded, "Well... what if I told you that it was Nigel, darling...? I wouldn't lie about that."
"I need to save Yuki from Shinnok's wrath, and since I could care less about that dastard Nigel boy... I threw him under the bus! That will teach the boy a few manners in telling this doggy diva what to do! After all, with Nigel gone, Yuki will have no choice but to trust me the most, and not him." - Zoe
Shinnok blinked, "Speak, pup."
"Oh well, Nigel was talking about how he wanted to throw some suspicion your way, and make you squirm," grinned Zoe, "Now, that doesn't sound like a loyal ally to me, dear. Who knows if he's really loyal to you or not.."
Shinnok squinted his eyes a little, trying to comprehend what Zoe was telling him, "You really have the nerve to tell me one of my close allies might be coming after me?"
"The nerve? Oh of course not, dear! I wouldn't dare tell you this unless I had a good reason to." smiled Zoe cheerfully.
"I won't take Zoe's warning seriously unless I have good reason to suspect Nigel of casting a vote against me. From looking at the boy, he doesn't seem like he would be the one to make a move this early in a game like this. If anything, Zoe could be covering her tracks.. or someone else's." - Shinnok
– – – – –
"Come on in guys!"
Both tribes arrived at the challenge area.
"We'll now bring in the reward winners, returning from their reward."
Yuki, Inkling, Mangle, Dark Pit, Dr. Mario, and Nigel all walked out from behind a few rocks, and onto the yellow mat.
"Guys ready for today's immunity challenge?"
Everyone nodded.
"I'll take immunity back from both Dr. Mario and Marge."
Both Dr. Mario and Marge did so.
"For today's challenge, I will show you an order of five different cards. Once I've shown the order, I will then ask for a certain card in the order, and you must show it to me. If you're right, you move on. If you get it wrong, you're out. Last one standing will win individual immunity, and be safe from the vote. Losers go to tribal council where the game will end for someone."
Dr. Mario stepped forward, "Hey Jeff, do you mind if I use one of my challenge advantages on this one...?" He reached into his pocket, and handed Jeff one of the tickets he had from the Chosen One's Alliance reward.
Jeff nodded, and took the ticket from him, and didn't explain it's purpose as Dr. Mario revealed everything at tribal council and what he earned from it, "Of course you can. Here's your advantage; if you get a wrong answer, you're still in the game. Get the next one wrong, you're out for good. You have an extra life, whereas everyone else only has one life. Let's get started."
Everyone got situated with their cards, and waited for the first order.
"Okay guys, here's the first order; Pill, Lightning Bolt, Bow, Ribbon, and Book. I want you to give me the third card shown."
…
…
"Everyone's right except for Inkling, Shinnok, Nigel, Yuki, and Zoe. All five of you said Lightning Bolt, but that is wrong. We're down to six."
Inkling, Yuki, and Zoe were the only ones who legitimately got it wrong. Both Nigel and Shinnok were trying to throw it, unconcerned about winning immunity.
"Here's the next order; Sunglasses, Book, Necklace, Lightning Bolt, and Microphone. I want you to give me the fourth card in the order."
…
…
"Dark Pit, Pikachu, and Dr. Mario all got it wrong, because it wasn't the Necklace, it was the Lightning Bolt. Dark Pit and Pikachu are out, but Dr. Mario gets a second shot with his advantage. We're down to four."
Pikachu sighed a little as she sat on the bench with the others. Dark Pit could care less, and stood off to the side.
"Here's the next order; Relic, Necklace, Ribbon, Demon, and Book. Show me the fifth card within that order."
Meloetta and Marge were next to eachother in the challenge, and Meloetta whispered something to Marge. She nodded at whatever she said, and looked at her cards. Mangle was fumbling around a little, while Dr. Mario was confident.
…
…
"Only one of you got it right, surprisingly."
…
…
…
"...and that person is Dr. Mario. That means, DR. MARIO WINS IMMUNITY FOR THE SECOND STRAIGHT TIME!"
Everyone clapped and cheered for Dr. Mario.
"You had a pretty bad tribal council, but you know what Dr. Mario, you definitely proved your worth today, and gave the others a reason to remember you're still a competent player in this game. You're safe tonight, and are not going home. As for the other ten of you, someone will be saying goodbye to their hopes and dreams of winning Survivor. See you all tonight."
– – – – –
Electroshock Day 23
With another big vote coming down in a matter of hours, there was a lot of talk for the minority alliance to figure out a plan.
"I'm 100% on board with voting out Shinnok tonight guys," explained Dr. Mario, looking at his three allies, "Like, I have no reason not to. If it gets me closer to sending Dark Pit to his doom, then that's what I'll do."
Pikachu smiled, "Cool! Pika! We should go talk with Yuki now, and see if he'll join us in the vote again!"
Meloetta nodded in agreement, "Indeed. Although should our plan not work I am prepared to be going home tonight."
"Dr. Mario won immunity, so I am alright with that. Tonight, I should be expecting my name written down at least five or six times. If I do not get votes, then I am not proving myself to be a threat and the meatshield like I have insisted on being. But..." (it giggles) "I doubt I'll need to any longer." - Meloetta
"We'll just tell the nice man that we're four votes going to Shinnok, and if he can get another vote we can send that mean demon lord home." said Marge.
"We just gotta be careful though, pika," warned Pikachu, "Cause like, what if we're wrong about Yuki being the one to cast that hinky vote? But I think Meloetta's predictions are very well true."
Marge, Dr. Mario, and Meloetta all nodded in agreement, and split up along with Pikachu to begin their plan.
Meanwhile, the big alliance of seven was talking about the upcoming vote tonight.
"So we're finally going to stick to the plan and vote out Meloetta tonight?" asked Dark Pit.
Inkling nodded, "Yeah dude! I mean, like, we gotta get it out now! We should have done that anyway instead of taking out Erron!"
"Voting out Erron Black was a mistake, but it's not like it mattered all that much. Meloetta just got like three extra days to lay around and do nothing, y'know? I think Shinnok won't do anything crazy tonight, and we'll just send the legendary pokemon back home where it belongs." - Inkling
Nigel looked over at Shinnok, "Are you good with that, Shinnok?"
Shinnok nodded grimly, "...of course I am, boy. That legendary pokemon has been the bane of my existence since the game started. At the end of tonight, one God shall fall."
Inkling snickered, "That's the spirit dude! We're seven and they're four! We cannot screw this up!"
Yuki nodded in agreement, keeping quiet the whole time.
"While I have my suspicions about certain players within my own alliance; such as Zoe, Yuki, and Nigel, I will not act on those suspicions quite yet. There isn't enough evidence, and I will not make a foolish move and betray someone so clear as day. That would be the Quan Chi way." - Shinnok
"So we're all on board tonight?" asked Mangle.
"Sounds about right, darling." smiled Zoe.
Dark Pit yawned a little, "Cool. Meloetta goes tonight, then we focus on getting the other losers out. Pikachu, Marge, Doc. All in that order. Sure Dr. Mario is a threat, but he's a joke as a player."
"Not sure if Dr. Mario has figured out what I've done. If he has, so what? We have all the cards and numbers right now, and we'd be morons to throw it all away. So... there's no point in worrying about what Dr. Mario could do to stop me or my alliance. What's the worse that can happen?" - Dark Pit
After agreeing to the plan to vote out Meloetta, Yuki stayed behind in the cave as he weighed out his options. A few minutes later, Marge and Pikachu approached him.
"Heya Yuki!" smiled Pikachu brightly, "We were wondering if we could talk about stuff."
Yuki leaned up a little, "Well, I'm all ears then. What's going on?"
"I'm still on the fence of whether or not I should betray Shinnok now, or wait for it. Sure, tonight he's putting Meloetta out of the game. But what comes after? Are we going to pagong the other three? Or will Shinnok blindside me any day after? It's a hard read, but I just have to go with my gut." - Yuki
"Listen, we were wondering if you would be willing to vote out Shinnok tonight," asked Marge, "He's an awfully bad man, and this game could use a little less villainy, and more good morals."
Pikachu nodded, "Besides, Shinnok doesn't have much use for you. Like, you're a Veteran's Island winner! You'll be gone the minute he doesn't need ya, pika!"
"And you haven't thought I'd be thinking about that already?" asked Yuki.
"Having spoken with Yuki, it seems like he's on board, or was already on board with voting out Shinnok! This is such a good thing for us, but we still can't be too careful! Because Yuki is still a fifth vote. We need at least six, and I can't think of anyone else who could flip..." - Pikachu
"Just know this, you have my vote. I'll talk with one of my trusted allies, and we'll get to the bottom of this whole thing." explained Yuki, offering a hand out to shake.
Marge nodded, shaking Yuki's hand, followed by Pikachu, "Very well, Yuki. We're glad you're joining us and helping us from being voting off in record time."
Yuki rolled his eyes, "It's still a game, miss. I haven't made up my mind about working with you. But this little deal could help."
Both Pikachu and Marge agreed with Yuki, and the trio eventually split up.
"Now that we have Yuki's vote, we just have to remain cautious of what he might do to try and get another vote. I haven't the slightest idea whom he may speak with, but I'm going to guess Nigel, since the two boys were friends on the Cortex tribe. I just don't know if we can trust Nigel yet." - Marge
Hours before tribal council, Yuki was speaking with both Nigel and Zoe down by the oasis, discussing the plan to vote out Shinnok.
"Listen, you two can make any decision you want tonight," explained Yuki, "But I am voting against Shinnok. He's smart enough to know I'm the one who cast a fifth vote, and I will not let him mess my game up."
"Listen, I get what you're saying, and I won't stop you from doing it." replied Nigel. Zoe nodded in agreement with him.
"Yuki's definitely paranoid about Shinnok voting him out, but come on, do you not see that we're voting out Meloetta tonight? He's not coming after you, and even if he was, I would find out about it! If he wants to vote against Shinnok again, I won't stop him, but I fear it's not smart." - Nigel
Yuki sighed, "Listen, both of you think you have trustworthy allies in our alliance. Dark Pit, Inkling, whoever... but do you really think they'll keep you safe? Ever since we've merged, those two have been kissing his ass. Who knows if it was going down over at Brio."
"What do you possibly mean, dear?" asked Zoe.
"Zoe, why do you honestly think Inkling made an alliance with you?" asked Yuki, "Just because you two could be besties as they call it? You two seem like the most polar opposites, it's insane to think you're working together just because of common interest. She's using you as a pawn."
Zoe gave it some thought, never thinking about it like that.
"Yuki did give me a lot to think about tonight. He brought up something I've never really pondered before in this game. Inkling and I aren't really best friends. We're just... allies brought together by an alliance she made up as the Zim Invaders. Could I really be a pawn in her grand plan?" - Zoe
Yuki then turned to Nigel, "And you, Nigel. You and Dark Pit might have run the scenes on the old Cortex tribe, but now I'm not so sure you do any longer. Dark Pit knows he can beat Shinnok, but he can't beat you. Once it's down to just us, you're going home first. I guarantee it."
Nigel crossed his arms, "Now wait a damn minute, Yuki, I've spoken with Dark Pit numerous times since we've merged. We're the ones keeping Shinnok under control tonight!"
Zoe looked away from them, before confessing something to Nigel, "...not to make you any angrier, darling, but I did throw you under the bus to protect my darling Yuki.. so I say Yuki's claims are right."
"Why would yo-!" snapped Nigel, before pulling himself together, sighing deeply, "Damn it all Zoe..."
"Zoe threw my name under a random bus. For what purpose, I haven't the slightest idea why! But she's ruining my good standing within that alliance, and now I might find myself in trouble for something I told Yuki to do! I wasn't planning on making a decision now, but... this changes it." - Nigel
Yuki looked at Nigel with a sincere look in his eyes, "Trust me, you won't regret it. Just.. let's vote Shinnok tonight, and we'll be good to go. To be honest... Final 3 with the three of us doesn't seem like such a bad idea."
Zoe's eyes glimmered a little, "Oooh! I can get behind that darling!"
Nigel didn't say anything as the three of them agreed to a Final 3 deal, simply shaking both Zoe's paw and Yuki's hand.
"I still don't know what I'm going to do tonight, and I'm not sure if Nigel is either. While I love the idea of this Final 3, I can hardly stand Nigel with that dastardly, dominating attitude he has. I made my first Final 3 with the Zim Invaders, and I do not intend on backing out yet... but... gosh this is hard!" - Zoe

The Electroshock tribe arrived at tribal council.
"We'll now bring in the first member of the jury,"
"Erron Black, voted out at the last tribal council."
Erron was wearing his cowboy hat, was shirtless, and had dirt covered blue jeans on. His mask was missing, exposing his scruffy face to everyone.
"The last tribal council was... certainly a tribal council this show will never forget. Dr. Mario, are you sober for one night tonight?" asked Jeff.
Dr. Mario laughed a little.
"Hah! I'm fine now, Jeff. I was drunk one night, and now... it's time to crack down, get serious, and fight to the last breath to stay in this game." replied Dr. Mario.
"Nigel, clearly a lot of secrets were revealed at the last tribal council, but which one stuck out the most to you?" asked Jeff.
"Probably the Chosen One's Alliance he spoke about. Never thought about it like that. I suspect that since he was drunk, it could be fake, but I think he was telling the truth." replied Nigel.
Dr. Mario nodded in agreement, as did Pikachu. Neither one was bothering to hide it anymore.
"Yuki, how do you think the vote will go down tonight?" asked Jeff.
Yuki gave the question some thought before he answered.
"I think the vote will show who feels safe in their alliance, and who doesn't feel safe. This is Survivor, so you shouldn't feel safe at all." replied Yuki.
Both Shinnok and Dark Pit eyed him strangely.
"Zoe, last vote seemed to be a free night for the ladies when compared to the men. Will tonight be different?" asked Jeff.
Zoe shrugged a little.
"It's really hard to tell, Jeffrey. I mean, I feel safe, but that's just how I personally feel, darling. I do think that tonight, anyone can be going home. Man, woman, legendary." replied Zoe.
Meloetta nodded, with a slight smile on its face.
"Mangle, the last person voted out appeared to be one of the strongest men left in the game. Do you think tonight will continue the trend of eliminating the threats?" asked Jeff.
Mangle nodded.
"I do believe that to be the case. This is the merge, and anyone who's a physical, mental, or social threat is bound to be nervous at some point." replied Mangle.
"Pikachu, are you nervous tonight?" asked Jeff.
"Of coursed I'm nervous. Although I'm more nervous about things going my way tonight as opposed to being the one voted off. I do not think I'm going home tonight, pika." replied Pikachu.
"Okay, it's time to vote, Yuki, you're up."
– – –
Inkling's Vote: You're one of the strongest beings in this game. I cannot let you stay. (Meloetta)
Nigel's Vote: Damn it all... whatever. (?)
Yuki's Vote: You will find out soon that I was the one who cast the vote. I cannot let you ruin my game. (Shinnok)
Zoe's Vote: I'm terribly sorry darling, but I'm just doing what's best for me in this game. (?)
– – –
"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, Shinnok. (He nodded.)
…
Shinnok. Two votes Shinnok.
…
Shinnok. Three votes Shinnok.
…
…
Shinnok. Four votes Shinnok. (He looked around, not surprised, grinning a little.)
…
…
Meloetta. One vote Meloetta, four votes Shinnok. (It smiled, expecting the votes.)
…
Meloetta. Two votes Meloetta, four votes Shinnok.
…
Meloetta. Three votes Meloetta, four votes Shinnok.
…
…
Meloetta. We're tied four votes Meloetta, four votes Shinnok, three votes left. (Marge and Pikachu took deep breaths.)
…
…
…
Meloetta. Five votes Meloetta, four votes Shinnok. (It nodded a little, giving reassuring smiles to its allies.)
…
…
Shinnok. Tied again with five votes for Shinnok, five votes for Meloetta, one vote left. (Yuki looked over at both Nigel and Zoe. Shinnok grumbled a little.)
Eleventh person voted out of Survivor Dingo Canyon, and the second member of our jury...
…
…
…
…
…
…
...is Shinnok. You need to bring me your torch.
There was some big shock in the room when the final vote was revealed. Erron was smirking, satisfied. Inkling, Mangle, and Dark Pit looked very shocked. Zoe looked a little guilty while Nigel tried to look as innocent as possible. Yuki nodded as Shinnok angrily grabbed his things and slammed his torch in front of Jeff.
"Shinnok, the tribe has spoken."
He snuffed out his torch.
"Time for you to go."
Shinnok turned around to face the others, "Now that makes two of you that betrayed me. You'll be fools to trust Eiri Yuki. As for the other, find him or her." He then teleported away, likely to the jury house.
"Now that is what I call a classic Survivor blindside. The ruler of the Netherrealm, fallen Elder God Shinnok has been eliminated from the game. Now what happens after that, I cannot even predict. Grab your torches, and head on back. Good night."
– – – – –
Shinnok's Final Words
"What bastards! I knew that once Yuki spoke those words at tribal council, he was the true culprit, but now there appears to be another traitor in the mix! I know it can either be Zoe or Nigel, and I'm leaning more towards Zoe, for her insistent attitude about Yuki being good on his word. Hmph. What liars.."
VOTES
Meloetta – Mangle, Zoe, Inkling, Shinnok, and Dark Pit
Shinnok – Meloetta, Marge, Yuki, Nigel, Dr. Mario, and Pikachu
Sorry for the long wait, I promise the long waits will stop!
I just had a lot I wanted to do this week. Buying amiibos, going to the county fair, and playing a male file of Fire Emblem Awakening.
I also want to discuss something regarding non canon seasons. I apologize for not updating Hyrule or Mushroom Gorge. In fact, I highly recommend for future and current non canon season writers to update the wiki page for me. I do not have the time I once had to mess around on the wiki in my spare time, so if you writers could update your own wiki pages, that would be great. And hey, you can make your own style in designing the voting table, game table, and contestants table! :D
If you enjoyed what you read, why not follow me, or write up a review about the episode or predictions about what might happen next? Every review helps me learn who is well liked, who is hated, and what the general consensus is. I try my best to update regularly, so if you enjoy my Survivor series, follow me for more adventures.
