Previously on, Survivor,
With Pit gone, Shantae had no idea who to trust anymore. But Bayonetta was able to convince her to stick with the Ta Keo group, as otherwise she would be screwed over. Meanwhile, Sans promised Toriel that he was on her side, and would help Bayon. Secretly, Sans just wanted whatever was best for him.
Over on Bayon, Snap and Papyrus made an alliance with Tremor, trying to keep the numbers over against Lemon and King Dedede. However, despite Tremor's new alliance, Sasha made an alliance with Lemon. She also made a fake Final 3 between the two of them and Nah. However, Sasha meant nothing by her alliance, as she just wanted Lemon's loyalty.
At the reward challenge, both Ta Keo and Bayon were even, but it was Snap who beat out Shantae to win a coffee machine for the Bayon tribe!
Back at camp, Sasha told Nah and Tremor about the deal she made with King Dedede and Lemon. However, Tremor was very annoyed that Sasha went behind his back and against his wishes. He had the power, after all. Meanwhile, Papyrus met Bob the temmie, who later revealed that Trinity could, indeed, talk.
Back over on Ta Keo, Frederick, Celeste, and Toriel were discussing all the matters on who to vote off next. Their targets in mind were Shantae and Red. Frederick later told his alliance about the sole vote he possessed in his pocket from Exile Island. Later, Red and Bayonetta hoped that Sans would get Toriel on their side, but Sans was playing coy the entire time.
At the immunity challenge, it was once again a close race between Bayon and Ta Keo. In the end, Red Forman scored the winning point for Ta Keo, earning them immunity. Nah was sent once again to Exile Island, where she found yet another advantage, but this time it was an immunity advantage.
Before tribal council, Sasha told Tremor that she was going to vote out Papyrus, in fear of an 'Undertale Cult'. Tremor thought of the idea as preposterous, and didn't like it at all. After speaking with Snap and Papyrus, Papyrus brought up wanting to vote out Sasha over Lemon, which turned the tables on Sasha. However, Trinity's loyalty was still unknown at this point, and with King Dedede and Lemon trying to get her vote, nobody knew what she would do.
At tribal council, Trinity sided with Tremor, Snap, and Papyrus, and voted out Sasha in a 4-3 decision, once again leaving Lemon and Dedede on the outside. 14 are left, who'll be voted out tonight?
Bayon: King Dedede, Lemon, Nah, Papyrus, Snap, Tremor, and Trinity
Ta Keo: Bayonetta, Celeste, Frederick, Red, Sans, Shantae, and Toriel

Bayon Day 18
Nah was tending to the fire, and relaxing back at camp while she waited for the Bayon tribe to return from tribal council.
"I don't know what happened last night... for all I know, Tremor did something stupid." sighed Nah, having some rather good instincts.
"Last night, I don't know what to think. I knew Tremor did not like Sasha's idea to work with Lemon or King Dedede, but... I don't know. If he turned on us, then I'm really screwed. In fact, I have a pretty good feeling that we are screwed. I'm just going to have to play it nice and cool and relaxed..." - Nah
Nah's suspicions were confirmed when the six members of Bayon returned from the vote without Sasha with them. She rolled her eyes, but wasn't surprised she was right.
Lemon was very irritated that Sasha was gone, as well as that she was once again on the bottom of the pecking order.
"I just don't know why I keep getting thrusted into these positions, dude! Like, why am I back at the bottom? Ta Keo came over and was willing to help Dedede and I out here! Sasha's gone, and now I don't know who to trust! Is it just gonna be me and King Dedede from here on out, man?" - Lemon
"So! Tremor! What little secret was Sasha talking about anyway? Was it a personal secret?" asked King Dedede, clenching his hammer a little.
Tremor shook his head, "I don't believe you're in a position to ask me that."
"Then I will tell everyone what it is," sighed Nah, "He's got the power to cast the sole vote of the night. He quickly turned on Sasha, and I bet you 100% he'll turn on anyone else."
Tremor raised an eyebrow, "You're quick to judge, knowing that this sole vote will simply just negate any power you may have."
"I voted Sasha out last night because she was not respecting my wishes. You are either going to play with me, or against me. Nah is safe if she keeps her mouth shut, and doesn't do anything stupid. Otherwise, she may just buy Lemon Zest two more days of safety. That wouldn't be good." - Tremor
"Yeah, sure, vote me out next if you want," muttered Nah, "Just know that the next tribal after you're public enemy number one, and that's a fact, Tremor."
"WAIT A MINUTE! WHY WOULD I VOTE OUT MY BEST BUDDY TREMOR?" asked Papyrus, "WITHOUT HIM, I WOULD NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY AGAIN!"
"Yeah, because he's a gigantic idiot," sighed Nah, before continuing her speel, "In addition, don't trust Papyrus. You wanna know why no Bayons were voted off at Ta Keo? Sans. He was always fishy on the old Ta Keo tribe, and with Toriel there... there's gotta be something going on between Sans, Papyrus, and Toriel."
Snap perked up a little at that comment.
"Where the hell did that statement come from? And where did you even come up with such bullcrap anyway? I suppose it could be true, but hey, you're throwing Toriel's name under the bus, and I ain't happy about that. Call out Sans if you must, but not my own alliance buddy, ya hear?" - Snap
Papyrus blinked, "JUST BECAUSE WE ALL COME FROM THE SAME WORLD DOES NOT MEAN ANYTHING, YOU WEIRD HUMAN GIRL!"
"At least you admitted to being from the same world as them. I believe my work here is done." grinned Nah, before walking away from camp.
"YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS MADNESS!" declared Papyrus, crossing his boney arms.
"I don't care if I make a stir around camp. I'm here to play the game and to win. Tremor's absolutely right. He has the power to send me home if he wants to. Which means my immunity advantage is going to help me out big time. But... I needed to call them out. I need everyone to target them." - Nah
A few minutes later, down by the stream, Nah was speaking with Lemon and King Dedede.
"Listen, it's not over for us yet," explained Nah, "I can buy us more time if we need it. I have the immunity advantage from Exile Island. Tremor gets to put the first laugh in, we can't risk that."
King Dedede grinned, "Excellent timing Nah! You will be far more loyal then that horrid Trinity girl! I can't believe I trusted her with my own eyes!"
Lemon rolled her eyes, "It's my fault. I'm the one who gave Trinity far more credit then we thought she had."
"This game is far from over! We can crawl back to the top, and with the brainy Nah on our side, nothing will stop this trio! Like I once said before, we are the underdogs! The underdogs will get a win in at some point! Tremor and Papyrus may have power, but not for long! Bwahaha!" - King Dedede
"Speaking of which... where is Trinity right now?" asked Nah, looking around camp.
"Last I saw, she crawled underneath the shelter, and then some bright lights started coming from underneath," shrugged Lemon, "So I dunno, probably having a rave party or something, dudebro."
"That seems... very odd." noted Nah.
Both Lemon and King Dedede shrugged their shoulders, and eventually the topic of conversation switched to something else.
– – – – –
Ta Keo Day 18
Sitting inside the shelter, Shantae, Red, and Bayonetta were having a talk with one another.
"Alright, I'm just going to come out and say it right now; I don't trust Sans at all." said Red.
Shantae shook her head, "I don't either. I told you two days ago I didn't trust him at all, and now look at what you're thinking now."
"We seem to be going back and forth on this matter. Two days ago Red said he could trust Sans, and now he's suddenly come to the conclusion that he doesn't trust Sans at all now. Kinda odd if you ask me. Problem now is that if Red himself doesn't trust him, what do we do now, huh?" - Shantae
Red shook his head, "You know what Shantae, a lot of thoughts can change your mind in this crazy game they call Survivor."
Bayonetta grinned, "Well then, if you cannot trust Sans, then maybe we... fish for some information."
"What do you mean?" asked Red, raising an eyebrow as he looked at Bayonetta.
"Someone's gotta be hiding some secrets," replied Bayonetta, "We can assume Toriel and Sans know eachother in real life... so what exactly are Celeste and Frederick hiding, per chance?"
"This is the fun part of Survivor; finding all the juicy secrets, and using them to your advantage. I would say that I'm quite good at getting information out of people when I so need to. I don't know if it's my looks, or my charm... but I think once I start talking, they'll just... tell me everything." - Bayonetta
"What secrets could they possibly be hiding from us?" asked Red, "Celeste is a bounty hunter. We already know that. The only secret I can think for her is that she's probably some sort of alien whore or something."
"Well, what about Frederick then?" asked Shantae.
Red looked over at Shantae, "Well, now that I think about it... know how Nah would talk about her father? Frederick somewhat reminds me of the man she describes. Orderly, stern, tall and handsome, as she would put it."
"Back on old Ta Keo, during down time, we would tell eachother stories about our lives. Nah talked about her human father a lot, and how he acted and whatnot. I won't bore ya with the details, but Frederick sort of... fits the description of Nah's father. Probably a long shot, obviously, though." - Red
Bayonetta grinned, "Bingo. That's the information we need. Even if it's a lie, it's still good to catch people on their tippy toes, wouldn't you agree?"
"What are you planning to do, Bayonetta?" asked Shantae.
"Why try to scare Frederick of course," smirked Bayonetta, "Tell him that I know one of his secrets... he'll obviously look at me like I'm crazy, but... a few threats go a long way in this game."
"Bayonetta is willing to put herself in the line of fire just to spread paranoia about some weird lie. The lie is this; Frederick is Nah's father, as she fits the description of her human father. I hate doing this to Nah, and throw her under the bus, but we can't trust Sans any longer. We have to act now." - Shantae
Meanwhile, Frederick and Celeste were talking to one another down one of the many corridors near camp.
"I don't know about you, but... do you trust Sans at all?" asked Frederick.
Celeste shook her head, "Well, without Toriel's calm demeanor, I would say not at all."
"Sans is a strange little skeleton. He makes a lot of funny puns, and walks around not caring at all about what's going on. But... without Toriel around, I wouldn't trust him at all. He's a completely different person when Toriel isn't with him. I feel like he's letting on less then he knows." - Celeste
"Sans is pure Ta Keo, after all, and he does have a relationship with Toriel it seems from his life," noted Frederick, "I'm sure we can trust him... but once we merge... keep an eye out on him. Maybe Toriel as well."
Celeste nodded, "Indeed. I would love for our Final 3 alliance to consist of you, me, and Snap in the end. Toriel is sweet, but... everyone loves her."
Frederick nodded, shaking Celeste's hand firmly, "Glad we had this talk, Celeste. We're in this together, and once we're back with Snap, we will make it official."
"Celeste is a strong, independent woman. I would love to be sitting next to her at the end, because I would feel like the two of us would square off perfectly against eachother. Toriel.. I know I cannot sit next to her. Everyone loves the old, kind motherly type. Just look at Marge Simpson." - Frederick
"Just.. keep an eye on Sans, whatever you do," warned Frederick, "He can be... a bit of a bonehead sometimes."
Right on cue, Sans poked his head out from around the corner of the corridor, carrying a trombone in his hands. He blew into it three times in a "Wah wah wahhhh" kind of tune. He then winked, and went away.
"...I rest my case." sighed Frederick.
Celeste giggled softly, and along with Frederick they left the corridor to go do other things.
– – – – –
Bayon Day 18
Nah was sitting down in the shelter, minding her own business. A few minutes later, Tremor approached her for a quiet chat.
"Listen, I understand what you are trying to do," said Tremor, "But you must understand, do you really want to be on my bad side? Knowing I have this sole vote?"
Nah sighed, "Yeah... I may have gone a little too far... but I have to play my cards where they lie. You know that."
"I had to speak some sense into Nah. I need her in this game. She may not trust me, but she knows that I can easily send her home at the next tribal council. Having a dragon on my side would be very useful, and... I am the only one on this tribe that is aware of her true form. She should know that." - Tremor
"You also know I'm the only one on this tribe that knows you are a dragon, correct?" reminded Tremor, "Not only can I send you home, I can expose your secrets just like you did mine."
"OH crap, yeah, I forgot about that... crap!" muttered Nah, "Look Tremor.. I was just frustrated. First Pit leaves, and now Sasha? You gotta understand I'm on thin ice as it is!"
"Yet unlike them, you have the brains to work yourself out of this position you are in," explained Tremor, "I can see your concerns about Papyrus. However... he's controllable. Lemon and King Dedede are not as controllable as you and Sasha think they are. They are arrogant."
"I had a talk with Tremor this afternoon, and... I was convinced that I made the wrong choice this morning. Listen, he's right. He has all the power to send me home, and expose my secret as a dragon. Ta Keo saw me as useful... but Bayon on the other hand might send me home immediately!" - Nah
"Yeah, even Sasha said that she didn't like or trust Lemon despite everything they talked about," shrugged Nah, "I'm just worried about the merge. If those three come together, we're all goners."
Tremor nodded, "I am aware of that. But, is there anything to be worried about? You and I both know Sans is useless... Papyrus is also useless.. and I believe Toriel's a smart woman. We can easily beat them, and eliminate them when the opportunity arises. Right now... we need Papyrus."
Nah nodded softly, "I know. Just be ready to take a few shots once we merge. You know you're the biggest threat out of all of us Ta Keo members."
"We can only hope Trinity is viewed as a large enigma." noted Tremor.
"I believe I got through to Nah, and I hope she's on my side for this upcoming vote. I do not trust Lemon at all, and King Dedede is going to be a large threat once we merge. Lemon's more dangerous, however, due to her will and adaptability. King Dedede, I believe, has neither of those." - Tremor
Meanwhile, down by the stream, Snap was plastered onto the wall, while Papyrus watched a few things float by in the stream.
"What can you possibly be waiting for?" asked Snap.
"NOTHING RIGHT NOW SNAP! JUST WASTING TIME! THERE'S NOTHING TO DO AS WE WAIT FOR TREE MAIL!" replied Papyrus.
"SURVIVOR REALLY GETS BORING AFTER A WHILE. YOU SIT AROUND DOING NOTHING, AND THE GREAT PAPYRUS DOESN'T LIKE TO SIT AROUND DOING NOTHING! THE GREAT PAPYRUS LIKES TO DO THINGS, AND MAKE SOMETHING OF MY POOR SELF!" - Papyrus
A few minutes later, Trinity walked over towards them, and sat down next to Papyrus. What she did next surprised them both.
"WEll! THa FiRES UNDER conTROl! tRIn fOR a brEAK!" said Trinity.
"Oh hey Trinity," yawned Snap, before blinking and moving away from the wall, "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Wait! Trinity! Did you just... did you just freaking talk!?"
"YES!" replied Papyrus, "WHY WOULD THAT SURPRISE YOU SNAP? SHE WAS JUST SHY! I TOLD YOU SHE WAS A TEMMIE FROM DAY 1, AND I WAS RIGHT!"
Trinity smiled dully, looking at Papyrus, "Trin? n! TriN AM nOt TEM! TRIN Am TriNIty!"
"Okay... there's been a few things I've been shocked about. Mr. Krabs saving me from death... Ducky basically being told to quit the game... uhhh... Trinity freaking talking!? Like, I think that breaks the record for me! All this time, Trinity's been quiet, creepy, and just... uber strong! What a twist!" - Snap
"Wait, wait, why are you talking all funny, then? Is what Papyrus said true? You're a temmie?" asked Snap.
"SNAP! I JUST TOLD YOU SHE'S NOT A TEMMIE!" snapped Papyrus, "HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!"
"OPE! bOb Is A Tem! tRIn aM NOT A TEM!" explained Trinity, "TriN AM a..! UHH..! tRIN foRgOT WhAT TRIN aM!"
A few minutes later, Bob the temmie approached the three, yawning a little, "Yeah, yeah, we're still working on coming to terms with what you are, Trinity. At least I got her to talk. The others will be happy."
Snap rubbed his forehead, trying to process nearly everything going on, "...I think I need to lay down. Our camp has been overrun by weirdos." He then left the area to go lie down.
"tRIN LEARNEd HoW TO TAlK thIS MORnINg! bobS SUCh a GOOD TEAcHER! TRIN STilL DOnt KNOw A LOT oF WORdS! but BOB IS TRYIng TEmS bEst!" (She does a small little dance; the Shrunk Funk Shuffle.) "JEFF wIlL bE SO rOuD Of tRIN!" - Trinity

Ta Keo Day 18
Sitting around the fire, Celeste and Toriel were watching Shantae make a few little headdresses using some various materials found around the caverns.
"You seem like a very talented young woman, Shantae," smiled Toriel, "That talent you have is quite something."
Shantae smiled back at them, "Thank you, I just wanted to find time to bond with the girls of this tribe, you know what I mean?"
"Honestly, anything can happen in this game. Right now, I just want to make sure that I have a one step forward ahead of Red or Bayonetta. By bonding with Celeste and Toriel, I think I might be able to buy myself more time in the game. I'm just trying to stay in the game as long as I can." - Shantae
"It is rather nice to bond over usually girly matters, isn't it?" noted Celeste, "Quite unlike my usual life as a bounty hunter."
"Yes indeed. I believe this is a great opportunity to take our minds off the game, and just relax." smiled Toriel.
Shantae finished the first headdress, and handed it over to Celeste, "Okay! I finished one, so Celeste, go ahead and try it on!"
Celeste nodded softly, taking the headdress from Shantae, and fitting it on top of her head, minding her alien horns. She looked up and smiled a little, "How do I look in your eyes?"
"Very cute!" smiled Shantae.
"Shantae is a very sweet, young girl. She's full of bright ideas, and is very friendly. I can't say the same for either Bayonetta or Red Forman. Red is rather blunt, and demanding in his ways, and Bayonetta.. I just do not trust her at all. At least with Shantae, she's very nice to talk with about stuff." - Celeste
"I'll be working on the next one," continued Shantae, "And I hope to finish headdresses for me, Bayonetta, and you as well Toriel!"
Toriel nodded, "Also, if I may ask Shantae... what's your opinion on Bayonetta? She hasn't really spoken a whole lot since we came over from Bayon.."
"Oh, don't mind her," laughed Shantae, "She's generally quiet. She's mostly just taking in her surroundings, and just assessing the situation at hand. I don't mind her all that much. I think in a few days she'll be more open to talk."
"I see..." replied Toriel, nodding her head.
"Bayonetta has always struck me as the... suspicious manipulator of the tribe. She hardly speaks a word, and according to Shantae, she's assessing the situation, and learning her surroundings. Something doesn't settle well with her, and I want to get to the bottom of it before it's too late." - Toriel
Meanwhile, far away from camp, Bayonetta and Frederick were having a small little talk.
Bayonetta placed her hands on her hips and faced Frederick, "Alright Frederick, it's time we have a little talk, shall we say..."
Frederick raised an eyebrow, "I don't like where this is going... what's going on around here?"
Bayonetta giggled a little, before beginning to walk around Frederick like a hungry shark, "Well.. I've been listening to a few people... maybe even a confessional or two.. and may I just say... you can't hide everything."
"I may lie a few times, but my goal is to scare Frederick into thinking I know a secret. This could go very wrong, or very right depending on how this all works out. I know my methods usually work, but with Frederick, someone so bold, he may not fall into my trap, which could be bad." - Bayonetta
"What are you going on about, woman?" asked Frederick, getting a little concerned.
"Ohh... nothing much, dear Frederick," grinned Bayonetta, "It's just that... because of all I've done... I've figured out your secret."
Frederick blinked, "W-what.? What do you... what?!"
"Yes, I... I imagined this would be your reaction," remarked Bayonetta, a little surprised Frederick was freaking out, "I know everything, dear Frederick... it would be a shame if Celeste or Toriel knew..."
Frederick sighed a little, closing his eyes.
"How did... how did this woman figure it out? She knows that my daughter is Nah..? Or is she making me fall into a trap... no no, that's not it. She's been quiet since the day we arrived from Bayon. She's probably figured it out by now. Lying to her would only make it worse... damn it all." - Frederick
Frederick sighed once more, opening his eyes, "So... you know that my daughter is Nah, huh? Well, I'm glad you figured it out... but do you really think the others would believe you?"
Bayonetta blinked once again, taking a while before she responded. She was not expecting Nah to really be Frederick's daughter, so she was caught a little off guard.
She eventually regained her composure and grinned, "Well... how about this then. I can benefit your game in ways you cannot even begin to imagine, dear Frederick... if you keep me in this game... you have my vote and loyalty. Otherwise... your secret will come out. You will lose all trust."
"That was... quite a surprise honestly. Red said it was all but a lie to him, but apparently, Frederick admitted to Nah being his actual daughter. The pieces all fit into place... and now I have him directly where I want him. If he keeps me in the game... he's got my loyalty. Otherwise... his loss." - Bayonetta
"...You tread these waters with risk, Bayonetta," replied Frederick, crossing his arms, "You may just get your wish granted... but you better swear to keeping your word. Otherwise, I will make you pay."
Bayonetta shrugged her shoulders, "Don't go around making wishes you can't grant, my dear Frederick. We shall see where this goes from here."
The two players then shook hands. Frederick was completely torn at this point.
"I don't know what to make of what Bayonetta's doing. I don't trust her at all, but I had to admit the truth to her. Otherwise, she would have called me out immediately, and my game would have ended right there. I hate to do it, but I have to play Bayonetta's game to keep us both safe." - Frederick
– – – – –
"Come on in guys!"
Both tribes arrived at the challenge area.
"Ta Keo, getting your first look at the new Bayon tribe; Sasha voted out at the last tribal council."
Shantae frowned a little, now realizing it was now down to her and Nah for Pit's Angels.
"Guys ready for today's immunity challenge."
Everyone nodded excitedly.
"I'll take back immunity from you, Ta Keo."
Red did so.
"For today's challenge, you will rank your tribe from strongest to weakest. Depending on the order, you will be squaring off against someone on the other tribe in an endurance styled battle. You will place yourself between two walls, and you must keep yourself hanging between them for as long as you can. If you drop out before your rival, they score a point for their. First tribe to four points wins immunity. Losers go to tribal council where there will be a price to be paid."
Jeff then pulled something out of his pocket; a glass bottle.
"In addition, losing tribe will also have to take this to tribal council. This bottle can contain something good... or something bad. That will be discovered tonight."
Just then, Nah stepped forward, pulling out the immunity challenge advantage, handing it to Jeff. "Listen, I don't want to risk anything tonight. I'm playing this for Bayon."
Jeff nodded, taking the advantage from Nah, "Alright then. Nah is playing the second and last immunity challenge advantage of the season. Bayon, each member will now have TWO chances to defeat a member from Ta Keo. If you drop twice, you're officially out of the challenge. Let's get started."
The match ups were as following: Celeste vs. Trinity, Frederick vs. King Dedede, Bayonetta vs. Tremor, Shantae vs. Lemon, Toriel vs. Nah, Red vs. Snap, and Sans vs. Papyrus.
"This challenge is now on..."
– 10 minutes in... –
Immediately out of the gate, Frederick, Celeste, Shantae, King Dedede, and Snap were doing fairly well. The former four were holding themselves nicely, while Snap was leaning against the wall lazily, as for the first hour, they were allowed to lean against the wall.
Red, being a trained army veteran, was doing decently as well. He was older, but he was hanging in there with the rest of them. Trinity was also biding her time, knowing she could never get tired from hanging between the walls.
Sans looked over at his brother Papyrus, and waved casually at him. Papyrus didn't wave back, too focused on winning immunity for Bayon. Lemon and Nah were also doing okay.
Bayonetta looked over at her opponent in Tremor, and noticed that he was using his rock powers to bind him to the wall. Bayonetta rolled her eyes, knowing there was no way in hell she was beating Tremor. Toriel also found it a little difficult to find her groove and balance.
"Don't lose your concentration. Remember, you're still in a tribe. This is not individual. If you fall, you risk sending your tribe to tribal council." warned Jeff.
– 20 minutes in... –
Two people dropped out early...
…
…
It was Bayonetta and Nah. Nah's footing slipped a little, costing her her first try at the challenge. Bayonetta, on the other hand, dropped out early knowing that she was never going to beat the rocky Tremor.
"Nah and Bayonetta both drop out. Nah gets a second chance, but Tremor scores the first point for Bayon! Bayon leads 1-0!"
Tremor released himself from the walls, nodding his head. Bayonetta shrugged her shoulders as she took a seat on the Ta Keo mat. Nah climbed back up to give the walls another try.
Frederick, Celeste, and King Dedede were still doing the best so far, holding strong against the walls without any sign of quitting in them. Red was also finding his groove, closing his eyes, and relaxing.
Papyrus was also focused, which felt strange just looking at him. Sans nodded his head, proud of his brother for trying to defeat him in the immunity challenge. Trinity was still not moving a muscle.
Shantae and Snap were beginning to shake just a little bit, as was Lemon, but Lemon was hanging in there a little better then they were. Toriel, meanwhile, was doing a little bit better then before, but was still struggling a little, but she knew she could beat Nah, who already dropped out once.
– 30 minutes in... –
Soon, four people dropped out of the challenge.
…
…
…
It was Nah, Sans, Snap, and Lemon. Nah and Lemon slipped from the wall while they were not paying any attention. Snap also slipped when he lost focus, and Sans just dropped out for no given reason.
"Sans and Nah are out of the challenge, and they both allow Toriel and Papyrus to score a point each for Ta Keo and Bayon! Bayon still leads 2-1! Snap and Lemon each get one more try, though!"
Both Toriel and Papyrus dropped out of the challenge, feeling happy that they were able to defeat their rivals. Sans nodded his head at Papyrus as he sat down next to Bayonetta. Nah shook her head, a little upset she wasn't able to pull through for Bayon.
King Dedede looked over at his opponent in Frederick, and grinned a little. He was always ready for a challenge, and wasn't ready to give up yet. Especially to defeat Frederick, someone he didn't like from the old Bayon camp. Frederick looked back over, and glared at him a little.
Celeste looked over at Trinity, and grew worried when she realized Trinity was barely moving a single muscle. Celeste knew she was strong, but could she even defeat Trinity by herself?
Red and Shantae's muscles began to tire out just a little bit, but they still wanted to defeat Lemon and Snap, as Ta Keo needed the points to defeat Bayon at this point.
Lemon and Snap both climbed back onto the walls, hanging on for dear life. They weren't ready to continue, but Lemon was moreso ready to face off against Shantae then Snap was against Red.
– 40 minutes in... –
Two more people dropped out.
…
…
It was Snap once again, followed by Shantae, who couldn't hold on any longer.
"Snap and Shantae are both out! Red scores for Ta Keo, and Lemon scores for Bayon! That's why you never give up in this challenge! Bayon still leads 3-2! One more point, and immunity is theirs!"
Both Red and Lemon slid off of the walls, and were happy to have won a point each. Everyone was extremely proud of Red for doing so well in this challenge. Lemon high fived her tribe one by one in excitement. Snap was a little annoyed, but didn't feel too bad. Shantae was just worried about losing immunity.
Now it was down to the big four brutes of the season; King Dedede, Celeste, Frederick, and Trinity. King Dedede felt like he had a lot of bulk on his side to defeat Frederick, while Trinity was feeling a little confident about beating Celeste. Both Celeste and Frederick did not want to lose the challenge, and they both knew one falls, and they lost the challenge by default.
– 50 minutes in... –
While the four players were hanging out on the walls, Celeste was analyzing a few things. She was wondering who Bayon would send to Exile Island if they won the challenge. She realized that since Shantae was sent already, she figured another Ta Keo might get sent once again.
Feeling confident for Bayon's survival, Celeste dropped out, knowing full well defeating Trinity was never going to happen given that the girl BARELY MOVED a single muscle in the last 50 minutes.
"Celeste drops out, and this challenge is officially over! BAYON WINS IMMUNITY!"
All of Bayon hugged and cheered.
"Another strong performance by you, Bayon! That advantage especially worked out for you, so once again, congratulations! You are all safe tonight at the vote, but before you leave, you need to make a decision; who's going to Exile Island from Ta Keo? It cannot be Shantae, given she was just there."
…
…
"Alright, we're gonna switch it up. We're sending Sans over!" confirmed Snap.
Sans grinned a little, waving casually back at his tribe before leaving for Exile Island, refusing the map Jeff offered him.
"Sans will be back after the Ta Keo tribe has returned from tribal council. Sadly, Ta Keo, tonight's not gonna be fun. Tribal council tonight, where somebody will be voted off. In addition, you have a bottle to open when you get there, so be aware of that. See you all then."
– – – – –
Exile Island Day 19
Sans arrived at Exile Island, and read the note for the advantages twist.
He shrugged his shoulders, "Eh, I'm not in the mood to go find anything today."
"Tribal council is going to be interesting. Guess what, I won't be gaining any LOVE today. It's three against three, meaning it will come down to rocks. That's my favorite aspect of Survivor; the luck. Nothing will be blamed on me tonight, so I'll be looking forward to tomorrow morning." - Sans
Sans looked around, feeling a little bit bored.
Suddenly, he got an idea, "Hmm... well since nobody else is around, I can exploit my powers, and put them to good use. Everyone thinks I'm useless... well... they're only half-right. I'm only useless when I want to be."
"I wonder what Jeff has in his tent..." murmured Sans to himself, before teleporting out of Exile Island in a flash. Nobody knew where he went.

Ta Keo Day 19
Without Sans around to make the vote more interesting, the three former members of Ta Keo were convinced they were going to be drawing rocks to determine who goes home.
"Sans is a lucky son of a bitch," said Red, "He gets off scot-free, and now we have a 50% chance of this purple rock screwing us over."
Bayonetta shrugged, "Ohh.. I don't think it's that bad, honestly. You worry simply too much, Red Forman."
"Learning the information I did yesterday, Frederick would be such a dear if he would put my name down tonight for the purple rock. That way, I do not go home at all, and either Red or Shantae pay the price. Remember... I'm a woman of my word. I go home, the whole tribe knows his secret." - Bayonetta
"Even more important then that is the fact that we have this glass bottle," noted Shantae, holding it in her hands, "What do you think this is? Early merge? Two boots? Free reward?"
"If it's two boots then we're about to have either a great time, or we're going to suffer." sighed Red.
Shantae nodded, "Yeah, I really hope it doesn't come down to that. They're obviously going to put Red's name down tonight, and put Bayonetta and I up for elimination. Then whoever doesn't go home will go home second."
"This night is the biggest night of the entire season! If one thing goes wrong for Ta Keo, we're all going home! Sans isn't even here, and this whole tribal council is still as crazy as ever! We just need to pray, and hope to the Gods themselves that we manage to beat Bayon in this purple rock festival." - Shantae
Red nodded a little, leaning his head on his hand, "Yeah... damn it all to hell. Ah well, buckle up and enjoy the ride while it lasts. Vote for Frederick. He's not as strong or as smart as the women. Then we do whatever the hell we want in the second vote, if it comes down to it."
Shantae nodded, "That's what I was thinking. Celeste is very dangerous, so she has to go eventually. Toriel... I hate to do it for Sans, but she's definitely a smart and intelligent woman. Wise as ever, you know?"
"Then I suppose we're all settled then?" grinned Bayonetta, "Well then, let the festivities begin."
"There's no way in hell I'm going home tonight. I'm the weakest member of Ta Keo right now, so of course they're going to put my name down, and hey, we vote off two members... I'm still not the target! Shantae and Bayonetta will always go home before me, and you know... that's great for me!" - Red
Meanwhile, down one of the many corridors, Celeste, Frederick, and Toriel were discussing the vote.
"I apologize, but I threw the immunity challenge today," explained Celeste, "Beating Trinity was out of the question, but I had suspected they would send someone from Ta Keo to Exile Island."
"And just our luck, they did. Sans is out of the picture. Now it comes down to us, and I guess you can say we have a cheat code." replied Frederick.
"Throwing the immunity challenge is something I wouldn't dare of doing before today. But... I had to. Frederick has the sole vote, and I knew they were going to send a member of Ta Keo over. It just made sense to me to drop out, and give us numbers by using the sole vote to our advantage." - Celeste
"The problem I have though... is who are we sending home, and who are we keeping here?" asked Frederick, "This bottle twist is most certainly a double boot. Not the first time it's happened."
"That's certainly a big issue," agreed Toriel, "Honestly, I would say keeping Red would be a mistake. He's truly not as threatening as the women, but he'll never be loyal to our alliance. He'll be ready to take us all out, and since we're nearing the merge... we have to start thinking logically."
"I would agree on that, but I think it's safer to get rid of Shantae. She's the sweetest one by far, but she could potentially turn into a big threat once we go deep enough into this game. Not only physically, or mentally, but also socially." suggested Celeste.
Frederick nodded, "I was thinking more along the lines of Bayonetta. She's sneaky, she can be a manipulator, and nobody trusts her. But... I will go along with whatever we come up with tonight."
"We have many hours to plan our moves before we head out tonight." reminded Toriel with a smile.
"Tonight, two members of the original Ta Keo tribe are going home. You could say it's unfair, but in Survivor, nothing is fair as they claim it to be. Bayonetta does know my secret... so I still don't know if I should send her home tonight, or keep her around for the sake of my game as a whole." - Frederick
The Bayon trio spent quite some time figuring out who to send home, before finally coming to a conclusion. They picked out the first boot for Frederick to send home with the sole vote, and then planned a second boot in the event the bottle twist was what Frederick suggested it was.
– – – – –
The Ta Keo tribe arrived at tribal council.
"Hasn't been too long since you last came here to vote somebody off! Forman, what do you think is the vibe of the tribe tonight? Three Bayon, three Ta Keo, are you feeling the heat?" asked Jeff.
Red nodded a little.
"Oh absolutely. Obviously, we're walking into a purple rock situation, and then you have that damn bottle over there... yeah, this is pretty crazy Jeff. Hope this isn't my final night." replied Red.
Frederick looked over at both Celeste and Toriel, nodding his head.
"Celeste, if what Forman said is true, how do you determine who to vote for, because somebody has to be safe tonight from the wrath of the purple rock, and it's gonna be whoever you vote for?" asked Jeff.
"Precisely the matter, Jeff. We have to pick based on preferences, as well as who can we take with us into the merge. We may like several people, but we have to vote them out eventually." replied Celeste.
"Toriel, if you leave tonight because of the purple rock, where do you go from here in life?" asked Jeff.
Toriel smiled a little.
"I will return home to return taking care of various monsters that need my assistance. But I am not ready to go home yet. I want to stay as long as I can in order to make my life better." replied Toriel.
Frederick nodded a little, rubbing Toriel's back a little.
"Okay, it's time to vote, Forman, you're up."
– – –
Frederick's Vote: This is the only vote that will count tonight.. I hope we made the right choice. (?)
Red's Vote: You're a good man, but you're not as dangerous as the women. No offense, alright? (Frederick)
– – –
"Once the votes are read, the decision is final. Person voted out must leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes."
Before Jeff could read the votes, Frederick sighed, standing up, and walked forward with the sole vote advantage in his hand. The former Ta Keos were confused.
"Here you go Jeff, I just hope it was worth the trouble." remarked Frederick, handing Jeff the advantage.
"Frederick is playing the sole vote advantage. This means, Frederick, you now get to make the sole vote of the night. Meaning, you get to decide who goes home tonight. Make your decision now."
Red, Shantae, and Bayonetta all looked shocked, and now completely nervous as Frederick stood in front of them. Jeff took the urn full of votes, and pitched them into the fire.
"Alright, it's been a long time coming for this advantage. I didn't want to have to use it like this, but it's the only way we can survive tonight's dangers," explained Frederick, "So with that... I choose to send home..."
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
"...I'm sorry, Shantae. You're the biggest threat out of the three. I'm sorry, but I choose to vote you out tonight."
Shantae nodded sadly, gathering her things, and saying her goodbyes to the others.
"It's official Shantae, you are now the eleventh person voted out of Survivor Waterfall. I need you to hand me your torch. Frederick, go take a seat."
Shantae whispered, "Good luck!" to both Red and Bayonetta as she walked up to give her torch over to Jeff.
"Shantae, for tonight, Frederick has spoken."
He snuffed out her torch.
"Time for you to go."
Shantae nodded, waving goodbye as she walked out of tribal council.
"With that all said and done, Shantae is now out of the game. But we're not done yet, are we? Bayonetta, if you would, please open the bottled note, and read it aloud."
Bayonetta smashed the bottle onto the ground, and picked up the note that fell out of the bottle. She opened the note up and read.
"'Congratulations on making it to the Final 13. Be ready to soon make it to the Final 12. One more player will leave the game tonight'." read Bayonetta, rolling her eyes at the last bit of words.
Red lowered his head down, shaking his head. Frederick, Toriel, and Celeste all felt a little better about being prepared for the vote.
"That means, you're now going to vote off one more player tonight." confirmed Jeff.
Red spoke up before Jeff could continue, "Hold on, Probst. Listen, Bayons, one of us is going home, we get that. Between Bayonetta and I, I'm far more useless in challenges. You can't trust Bayonetta, no matter what she does."
Bayonetta grimaced a little at Red's last minute pleas, but then spoke up herself, "Very well, Red Forman. Then I shall tell you this; Red will never be loyal to you. If you vote me off, you will sorely regret it... won't you Frederick? Who knows.. maybe I'll be loyal to Bayon if I stay?"
Both Celeste and Toriel looked at Frederick a little, who didn't change his expression at all.
"Interesting last pleas, we'll learn who had the better plea in the end. It's time to vote, Forman, you're up."
– – –
Frederick's Vote: I just hope this was the right decision in the end. I don't want to regret this. (?)
Red's Vote: Yeah yeah, you got one laugh out of me. That will be the one free laugh you get. (Frederick)
– – –
"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, Frederick. (He nodded a little.)
…
Frederick. Two votes Frederick. (Red and Bayonetta looked at one another.)
…
…
…
…
Red Forman. That's one vote Red, two votes Frederick. (Bayonetta grinned, while Red rolled his eyes.)
…
…
Red. Two votes Red, two votes Frederick, one vote left. ("You've got to be kidding me..." muttered Red.)
Twelfth person voted out of Survivor Waterfall...
…
…
…
...is Red Forman. That's three, it's enough, you need to hand me your torch.
Red shook his head, grabbing his things as well as his torch, slamming it in front of Jeff.
"Forman, the tribe has spoken."
He snuffed out his torch.
"Time for you to go."
Red nodded, looking back at his tribe, "Good luck with her." He then left the area frustrated.
"Well, as it turned out, there was no need for a purple rock at all. Some may find it cheap, some may find it cheating, but I find it to be part of the game. You need to be ready for anything, at any cost. Grab your torches, and head on back. Good night."

Shantae's Final Words
"I'm extremely sad that I was voted out right before the jury, but you know what, I had such a blast on Survivor! Everyone was so nice, and I think I made some good friends to last a lifetime. Frederick and Bayon needed to do what was best, and I think voting me out was the best move for them. Good luck!"
VOTE
Frederick – Bayonetta, Red, and Shantae (Never counted.)
Shantae – Celeste, Frederick, and Toriel (Only Frederick's counted.)
Red's Final Words
"Of course, the one night I felt super comfortable in ends up being the night I actually end up going home! What a load of crap! Whatever.. at least I got to 13th place, so that's all fine and dandy with me. It's just the way I went out pissed me off. More opportunities lay around the corner for me anyway."
VOTE
Frederick – Bayonetta and Red
Red – Celeste, Frederick, and Toriel
Time for the merger next episode!
All wiki pages minus the Waterfall page will be updated later today! The secondary polls will be up soon on Last Chances' page, and I will post the rules of each poll again on that page!
Right now, since I can only post 30 options on Strawpolls, I have to kick one person off on both men and women polls. That means... Jake from Yoshi Desert and Jess from Green Hill, the most voted man and woman, will automatically be safe and move on to the Final Polls! The other 58... I just hope the readers like you enough, lol
