Previously on, Survivor,

With John voted out, the remaining Upolu members knew that the idol needed to be played at the next tribal council, and on the right person. Bruce decided to be a complainer, in order for the votes to go in his direction. Meanwhile, Stepney considered going to the end with Metal Mario.

Sweet Tooth was concerned about the idol, now that Savaii knew about it thanks to Ling Ling. All 3 Upolus were dangerous in some aspect of the game. They had to be cautious about the vote.

At the reward challenge, the team of Brandon, Sweet Tooth, and Stephen defeated the others to win breakfast in bed. Stepney was the one sent to Exile Island. Before they left, Metal Mario made an offer. He offered to swap his reward ticket with Mikayla's challenge suspension. Jeff agreed, and Mikayla was able to go on reward.

Back at camp, the four savored the reward. While they ate, Sweet Tooth thought about Metal Mario's move, and considered taking him out after Upolu was out of the picture.

At the immunity challenge, Mikayla beat out Stephen to win immunity.

Before tribal council, major planning was conducted on both tribes. Upolu tried to figure out which person to play the idol on, while Savaii tried to figure out who to vote out.

At tribal council, Stephen played the idol on himself, but Savaii voted someone else. Brandon received the votes, and he became the first member of the jury. Tonight, two people will be sent packing! 8 are left, who'll be voted out tonight?

Final 8: Bruce, Harry, Ling Ling, Metal Mario, Mikayla, Stephen, Stepney, and Sweet Tooth

Jury: Brandon

Cact-X Day 25

Stephen slumped into camp, and crashed onto his side of the shelter. Bruce joined him.

"We're done, dude." complained Stephen, "There isn't a way we can go about getting past them."

Bruce shook his head.

"Stephen's ready to lie down, and allow Savaii to run us over. I'll say 'hell no' to that! We still have challenges in our way, and we can WIN them!" - Bruce

"We still have challenges, man," reminded Bruce, "Rely on my strength and your brains to get us past Savaii."

Stephen looked at Bruce with a angry expression, "Dude! They have strong competitors on their side! Metal Mario! Sweet Tooth! Ling Ling! I mean, yeah, we'll try, but my hopes aren't up."

"No idol to save us now. Bruce and I may as well just give up now. I didn't want my Survivor experience to end this way at all. I wanted to stand out like Ben did. Now I look like a failure of a strategist." - Stephen

"Rise those hopes, dude," replied Bruce, "I'm not giving up period. Savaii is bound to crack."

Stephen nodded, "I'll try my best dude. Good night, man."

Meanwhile, Sweet Tooth and Mikayla were sitting near the edge of the river.

"I have to say," noted Sweet Tooth, "Never thought you would've jumped ship in the first place."

Mikayla smiled, "Heh. Well, sometimes, you need to do what's in your best interest, right?"

Sweet Tooth nodded in agreement.

"I'm using this time to get Mikayla on my side more. Usually, most people just throw away the flipper once the enemy tribe is gone. Not me, because I see how valuable the flipper is to anyone wanting to go to the Final 2." - Sweet Tooth

"Would you like to go to the Final 3," asked Sweet Tooth, "With me and Harry? If you go with, say, Stepney or Metal Mario, they will win no matter what."

"Wouldn't anyone beat me in the end?" asked Mikayla, "I did betray Upolu when they needed me most."

Sweet Tooth raised a finger, "Not quite. I will have to betray most of the Savaiis in order for us to get to the end. You have a chance, my dear."

"Still, she doesn't stand a chance in hell. My Silent Betrayal will do most of that work." - Sweet Tooth

"Well," replied Mikayla, "I don't see why not. I mean, you sure you're not making a mistake?"

Sweet Tooth shrugged, but didn't respond.

"Sweet Tooth has helped me get to where I am so far, but I don't really just the guy. You cannot see his expressions under his mask, and it just... makes me wary of him." - Mikayla

– – – – –

Cact-X Day 25

Ling Ling, Metal Mario, and Stepney were chatting in the shelter.

"For 25 day, Ling Ling playing for Savaii. Ling Ling have no alliance to end! Call Ling Ling crazy, but Ling Ling ready for real deal." - Ling Ling

"What next after Upolu destroyed?" asked Ling Ling.

Metal Mario shrugged, "I don't know, exactly. Probably game on from here."

"Ling Ling interested in forming pact," offered Ling Ling, "Ling Ling have no allies."

"Ling Ling's been on the outskirts of Savaii, and to this day, he hasn't figured that out. Which is good, in a way. I would love to help him get far, but sadly, once Upolu and Mikayla are gone, Ling Ling will be the next to go." - Stepney

"Who would you target first?" asked Metal Mario.

"Biggest threat in whole game! Sweet Tooth!" replied Ling Ling.

Stepney nodded, "I've had my eye on that dude for a while now, mate."

"Ling Ling wants to take Sweet Tooth out once we're at the Final 5. If he had said Harry, I probably wouldn't of agreed. But... if I want to make it to the end, taking Sweet Tooth out will help a lot." - Stepney

"Sweet Tooth reminds me a little bit of the Angry Video Game Nerd," replied Metal Mario, "If not in a sweary sense. He's a great strategist, and his moves have helped Savaii get this far."

"Right behind me, Sweet Tooth is the largest competitor in the game. I know I made a deal with him, but I think taking him out would be beneficial." - Metal Mario

"Not now," replied Ling Ling, "Wait until Upolu eaten alive. Then we take out clown!"

Stepney nodded, "Right."

"Still, I have to think, Sweet Tooth did save me when Dexter got voted out. I owe him a lot. Do I really just throw him in the trash?" - Stepney

Meanwhile, Sweet Tooth and Harry were talking.

"Soon, Bruce and Stephen will be gone," explained Sweet Tooth, "And then we start pulling the strings; you, me, and Mikayla."

Harry rubbed his hands together evilly, "Ooo hoo... this will be fun!"

"Wow... my High Commander would never allow me to have this much power. I wonder if he's gonna scold me when I return to my planet..." - Harry

"Here's the deal come Final 6," continued Sweet Tooth, "We take out Metal Mario ASAP. He will dominate in the challenges if we don't do something about it."

"What about Ling Ling?" asked Harry, worriedly.

"That's our swing vote, Harry," replied Sweet Tooth, "That's been his job from the beginning, swinging the votes one way or another."

"Come Final 6, we need a fourth vote. Ling Ling might be our only option, as Stepney seems too close to Metal Mario." - Sweet Tooth

"Just keep your trap shut about this," warned Sweet Tooth, "If we turn against eachother now, Bruce and Stephen will just fly on by and win, just like Raine did."

Harry nodded.

– – – – –

"Come on in guys!"

The remaining castaways entered the challenge area.

"Guys ready for today's immunity challenge?"

Everyone nodded.

"I'll take back immunity from you, Mikayla."

Mikayla did so.

"For today's challenge, you will be running in groups of four, which will go into our twist at the end of the challenge. Rules of the challenge, we are going back to the past. One person will be suspended via a rope above the ocean. The others will try and hold onto them for as long as possible. Every 30 minutes, one person must drop out. Last team standing wins immunity and reward. One note; Metal Mario, you will compete in this challenge, as reward is up for grabs."

"Before I get to the reward, the losing team will be the only ones going to tribal council tonight. Only 4 of you will see me tonight. The winning team will spend tribal council night in a luxurious mansion, watching videos from home. However, Exile Island will come into play. I'll get into that after the challenge. Let's pick teams!"

Team 1: Harry, Mikayla, Stepney, and Sweet Tooth

Team 2: Bruce, Ling Ling, Metal Mario, and Stephen

"Alright, we have our teams! Harry and Ling Ling are respectively the suspended tribe members. The others must hold on for dear life! Challenge has begun!"

– 30 minutes in... –

Everyone was doing well so far. Team 1 seemed to have the upper hand during this challenge.

"Another 30 minutes, and you will drop out one person."

– 1 hour in... –

"Ok, it's time to drop out one member from your team."

Bruce and Sweet Tooth let go of their ropes. Bruce's dropping out made Team 2 really slip on the rope, but they kept focused on holding onto Ling Ling.

– 1 hour, 30 minutes in... –

"Ok, it's time to have one more person drop out."

Metal Mario and Mikayla dropped out, leaving Stephen and Stepney in charge on holding on. However, this sudden lost of strength made one team drop their suspended tribe member...

"Ling Ling is in the water! THE TEAM OF MIKAYLA, STEPNEY, SWEET TOOTH, AND HARRY WIN REWARD AND IMMUNITY!"

All of Team 1 hugged and cheered.

"Great job, Team 1! None of you will experience tribal council tonight, and instead you'll spend the night in a nice mansion. However, only one of you will not have that luxury. Instead, you will go to Exile Island, and then report to tribal council, immunity in hand. While you're still safe, you won't have a family video to watch. Team 2 is picking that person. Who will it be? Stepney, however, is not an option."

Bruce, Ling Ling, Stephen, and Metal Mario discussed it.

"Mikayla must go!" replied Ling Ling.

Mikayla tearfully nodded, and took a map from Jeff.

"Mikayla will arrive at tribal council tonight. In the meantime, the four of you will return to camp, and plan the vote out. For you three, enjoy your night in the mansion, you earned it. See you all later!"

– – – – –

Exile Island Night 25

Mikayla slumped into camp, sort of depressed.

"Why did they have to pick me of all people to be sent to tribal council tonight... I wanted to see my family..." - Mikayla

Mikayla started her fire, and covered up in a blanket near it.

"But they didn't have a choice in the matter. I'm just glad we ended up winning, or I could've been the one going home. I had no guarantees with no votable Upolu members." - Mikayla

– – – – –

Reward Night 25

Harry, Sweet Tooth, and Stepney entered the mansion. The mansion had a ton of stuff inside. Double beds, bathes, showers, pools, hot tubs, food, food, and more food.

"This is an aliens dream come true..." (sobs uncontrollably) - Harry

Immediately the three raced into the showers to clean off 25 days of dirt and filth.

"This feels so good..." smiled Sweet Tooth, feeling great.

"I hear that!" agreed Stepney.

"The shower was excellent! When you feel clean, you feel GREAT! I wish Survivor allowed showers back at camp." - Stepney

With the showers out of the way, and food soon in their bellies, the three reward winners sat down near a giant tv screen.

"Nice..." smirked Sweet Tooth.

Stepney placed the video inside, and the first thing it showed was a creepy looking bald guy. One eye of his was sunken in.

("Hello there... Needles..." said a sinister voice, "Surprised to see a video from me?"

"In case you don't remember me, I am Calypso," he said, "Host of Twisted Metal. I do hope you win the million dollars, maybe with that you won't need Twisted Metal to grant your wishes. If you don't, well, see you in next years contest!")

The next video showed an orange diesel engine.

("How are you doing Stepney?" smiled the diesel, "It's me, Rusty! The little engine who saved you from scrap!"

"The Bluebell Railway is doing fine without you," continued Rusty, "But we miss you a lot. Please come back a million dollars richer!")

The last video showed three purple tubed-like aliens.

("Hey look!" shouted the tall one, "It's Harry!"

"Hiya Harry!" smiled the girly one. The older one glared at her.

"Listen, he won't know who we are unless we say it!" he scolded, "So Harry! Glad to see you've return to Earth. I'm Tommy!"

"I'm Sally!" smiled the girly alien.

"I'm your High Commander, Dick Solomon!" shouted the tall alien, "I'm glad you entered Survivor, but please, don't do something stupid. You'll ruin the Solomon name!")

"Seeing my alien family made me stronger. They call me idiots and what not, but I don't care. I know what I'm capable of." - Harry

"If it wasn't for Rusty, I probably would've been killed long time ago. I owe it to him, to Thomas, to Duck, to everyone who made my life happier back on Sodor." - Stepney

"That Calypso fellow is one strange dude, so is the Twisted Metal contest. All I do in that competition is kill, kill, kill. Nothing different from my day job." - Sweet Tooth

– – – – –

Cact-X Day 26

Bruce and Stephen were watching the sunset.

"Dude, this might be my last day," replied Bruce, "There's 3 Savaii people against us at tribal council. Most likely I'm going home."

Stephen shrugged, "Maybe. Perhaps we can sway Mikayla into our vote, since Ling Ling and Metal Mario were somewhat behind her being sent to Exile Island."

"I do have hope in this vote, with at least 3 Savaii members being absent from the vote. Mikayla might've wanted to see her family video, and she might want revenge." - Stephen

"I'd say vote for Ling Ling tonight," ordered Stephen, "Whoever stays MUST fight to stay, or even stir up trouble."

"That might be you, dude." chuckled Bruce, patting Stephen's back.

Stephen nodded, "Yeah, well, I'll be prepared. I'm in a much better mood then yesterday morning.

"I'm probably the one going home tonight, since I am a larger threat then Stephen in terms of physical strength. Uh, Stephen's got quite a challenge coming for him, but I think he's ready for it." - Bruce

Meanwhile, Ling Ling and Metal Mario were discussing the vote.

"Which one should go tonight?" asked Metal Mario.

"Up to you man. Ling Ling don't care." replied Ling Ling.

"Tonight, we have the numbers, and one of Bruce or Stephen will be voted out tonight. Should we focus more on Bruce's strength, or Stephen's strategic mind?" - Metal Mario

"Mikayla shouldn't be pissed at us," hoped Metal Mario, "So just as long as we all vote the same, we'll be fine."

Ling Ling nodded.

– – – – –

The remaining members of Cact-X entered tribal council.

"We'll bring in the first member of our jury,"

"Brandon, voted out at the last tribal council."

Brandon was wearing some glasses, and a fancy looking outfit. He looked surprised to see half the tribe at tribal council.

"We'll now bring in Mikayla, returning from Exile Island."

Mikayla joined the others, torch in hand.

"So this twist has half the tribe has tribal council, and then Mikayla was chosen to not partake in the reward, but still have immunity. Bruce, does this make you feel better with a smaller vote?" asked Jeff.

Bruce shook his head.

"Technically, it's still Savaii vs Upolu, and with Mikayla's vote, it's still 3 against 2. I don't see it changing just for tonight." replied Bruce.

"Stephen, if you go home tonight, what will Bruce have to do in order to win?" asked Jeff.

"He will have to win those immunity challenges, and just try to fit in with the dominating Savaii members." replied Stephen.

"Metal Mario, any thought into tonights vote?" asked Jeff.

"My only opinion about this vote is... well, which Upolu member to take out now, and not have to worry about later." replied Metal Mario.

"Ok, it's time to vote, Metal Mario, you're up."

– – –

Metal Mario's Vote: Sorry man, but this is for the best. (?)

Stephen's Vote: If Mikayla decides to randomly jump back to Upolu, you're the most likely person she'd vote for. (Ling Ling)

– – –

"If anyone has the hidden immunity idol, and you want to play it, nows the time to do so."

No one did anything.

"Ok, 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, Ling Ling. (He nodded.)

Ling Ling. Two votes Ling Ling.

Bruce. One vote Bruce, two votes Ling Ling. (Bruce nodded, not surprised.)

Bruce. Tied two votes Bruce, two votes Ling Ling, one vote left. (Stephen looked at Mikayla.)

Eleventh person voted out of Survivor Aquatic Ruin, and the second member of the jury...

Bruce. That's 3, it's enough, you need to hand me your torch.

Bruce nodded, bro-hugged Stephen, and grabbed his torch, "Be safe, y'hear?"

"Bruce, the tribe has spoken."

He snuffed out his torch.

"Time for you to go."

Bruce pumped his chest with his fist, and he left.

"Another Upolu down, one to go. This will be interesting to see if Stephen can make it past all the Savaii members. Grab your torches, and head on back. Good night."

– – – – –

Bruce's Final Words

"Man! I almost had it! But... it had to be ruined by being a simple minority tribe member. I bet if my alliance had made it to the end, I might've been able to win the million dollars, because everyone loves ol' Brucie, and I think I had the charm."

VOTE

Bruce – Mikayla, Ling Ling, and Metal Mario

Ling Ling – Bruce and Stephen

– – – – –

Cact-X Day 27

Sweet Tooth, Stepney, and Harry were already back at camp when the others returned from tribal council.

Sweet Tooth nodded, "Only Stephen remains..."

"Myself, Harry, and Sweet Tooth were able to enjoy a nice day in a mansion, and enjoy family videos. This has been the only time in the game where I didn't care what happened, as either Bruce or Stephen would go home. Bruce is gone, and now Stephen is the next to go." - Stepney

After a while of settling in, Stephen was sitting on a rock with Mikayla.

"Mind if I share some Intel with you?" asked Mikayla.

Stephen shrugged, "Does it matter, I'm going next anyway."

"True, but you can never be too careful." replied Mikayla.

"This morning, I talked with Stephen about what Sweet Tooth promised me. I feel like if I get Stephen's trust, then I can be prepared in case something comes up." - Mikayla

Mikayla turned to Stephen, making sure no one was listening, "Sweet Tooth wants to take me to the end, and says he's willing to betray the Savaii members to do that. Something tells me I can't trust that."

Stephen raised an eyebrow, "It's up to you whether or not you trust him. Why come to me?"

"Because," explained Mikayla, "If I catch word that I'm going home instead of you, then I need to start spreading rumors."

"Mikayla, why are you coming to me? I'm, like, the most untrustworthy person right now in the game! Why? Because if you come to me about something you want to keep secret, then I'm telling others." - Stephen

"I wouldn't mind trying to take Sweet Tooth out," replied Stephen, "He is a large threat. Not as large as Metal Mario, though."

"True..." replied Mikayla, "Oh, and by the way, Metal Mario has an idol."

Stephen's eyes widened, "Oh wow... That's bad."

"Again! Why are you telling me this information? Mikayla, don't trust me to keep this in the dark, girl." - Stephen

Stephen and Mikayla spoke for a little while longer, and then shook hands.

Meanwhile, Sweet Tooth, Harry, Metal Mario, and Stepney were talking.

"Wow..." said Harry, "After last tribal council, our alliance holds strong to the end."

Stepney nodded, "I'm happy for that too! Let's keep Savaii strong at 5 as a whole."

"The four of us made a promise to make the Final 4 together. While I am having doubts over keeping Sweet Tooth and Harry together, I'm having a problem committing to it." - Stepney

"Stephen goes out next," explained Sweet Tooth, "followed by Mikayla and Ling Ling. If you think about it, nothing stands in our way."

Harry nodded proudly.

"I'm playing it up for now, since only Harry and I know of the real plan. We cannot mess up now." - Sweet Tooth

– – – – –

Cact-X Day 28

Stephen and Sweet Tooth were sitting near the river.

"Game is gonna get intense after I'm gone." noted Stephen, "Only Savaii members left."

Sweet Tooth chuckled, "Boy, you haven't even seen intense once you've met me."

"Oh," replied Stephen, "Is that why I'm hearing a whole lot of interesting stuff?"

Sweet Tooth looked at him weirdly.

"Mikayla gave me a lot of information, and I'm going to use that against her in order to save myself." - Stephen

"Explain." replied Sweet Tooth, interested.

Stephen cleared his throat, "Basically, Mikayla told me that she doesn't trust you, and she also told me Metal Mario has a hidden idol."

Sweet Tooth was pissed, but of course Stephen couldn't see it.

"Does she now?" noted Sweet Tooth.

"Mikayla, why are you doing this to yourself? You know you had a decent future if you had stuck by me. But, you had to screw it up." - Sweet Tooth

Stephen nodded, "But... she doesn't want to do it until I'm gone. She, in her own words, said 'only if I somehow get on the chopping block'."

Sweet Tooth nodded, thinking hard.

"Just thought you want to know." noted Stephen, leaving the area.

"Here comes the age-old question; who is lying? Stephen, trying to save himself, or Mikayla, trying to blindside me? Interrogation might come in handy right now." - Sweet Tooth

Sweet Tooth left, and went to go talk with Mikayla. She was sitting in the shelter.

"Mind if I ask you something?" asked Sweet Tooth.

Mikayla shrugged, "Go ahead."

"Stephen told me some... interesting things," explained Sweet Tooth, "He said you're trying to take me out. Is that true?"

Mikayla swore to herself in her head.

"Dammit. This is my own fault. Why did I even trust Stephen with this information! Doesn't matter, I think Sweet Tooth would believe me over someone on the outside." - Mikayla

"Sweet Tooth," explained Mikayla, "Why even believe anything Stephen is trying to tell you? He's on the outside. Outsiders will try anything to get the main alliance to turn on eachother."

Sweet Tooth nodded, "You have a point."

"We have a deal, man," noted Mikayla, "I'm wanting to honor that deal. You did a lot for me."

She held out a hand to Sweet Tooth, and he shook it.

– – – – –

"Come on in guys!"

The remaining castaways entered the challenge area.

"Guys ready for today's immunity challenge?"

Everyone nodded.

"I'll take back immunity from you once again, Mikayla."

Mikayla did so.

"For today's challenge, out in the ocean, is a puzzle board. Swim out, and study the puzzle board. Once you think you can remember it, swim back to shore, and start working on the puzzle. If you are wrong, you are forced to go back and check the board again. First person to get it right wins immunity. Metal Mario, this is your last suspension from immunity challenges, come take a seat."

Metal Mario took a seat behind Jeff.

"Before we begin, I'm going to make an offer. If you feel like immunity isn't important right now, I want you to move off your mat, and come stand next to me."

Stephen's feet stayed glued to the ground. Harry and Stepney were the only two to join up with Jeff.

Jeff turned around, and pulled off some covers, revealing cheeseburgers.

"Sweet!" cheered Harry. He and Stepney sat at the table to begin feasting.

"That means, Stephen, Sweet Tooth, Mikayla, and Ling Ling will be the only competitors in today's challenge. Sort of a deja vu from that obstacle course. Let's get started."

Everyone got ready.

"Survivors ready? GO!"

Everyone ran out to the ocean, and began swimming over to the answer board. Ling Ling spent very little time before speed-swimming back to shore. A few minutes before he made it back to shore, Sweet Tooth left his post. Mikayla and Stephen took their times.

Ling Ling worked on his puzzle, but barely remembered anything from it. He immediately raced back out into the water. Sweet Tooth got to shore, and spent some time on the puzzle. Eventually both Mikayla and Stephen were swimming back to shore to start their puzzles.

Sweet Tooth continued to work, replacing pieces he thought didn't fit. Mikayla worked a little too fast with the puzzle. She thought she had it.

"Jeff?" called Mikayla.

Jeff ran over to check out.

"Wrong! Mikayla, you must go back!"

Mikayla groaned, and ran back out. Stephen continued to work hard on his puzzle. Sweet Tooth was almost close to having it.

Both Sweet Tooth and Stephen called in at the same time. When Jeff checked their boards, he only noticed one was right...

"Sweet Tooth, you are wrong. STEPHEN WINS IMMUNITY!"

Everyone clapped for Stephen.

"A former Upolu member may not be going home tonight, as you, Stephen, are safe tonight at the vote. One of you six will be sent to the jury tomorrow night. See you then."

– – – – –

Cact-X Day 29

Mikayla was pouting to herself alone in the shelter.

"With Stephen winning immunity, I HAVE to get Sweet Tooth out of this game. With the plan he gave me, I could potentially get a large threat out of the game." - Mikayla

Mikayla left the shelter, and went to go chat with Stepney and Metal Mario.

"Guys," noted Mikayla, "It sucks that one of us has to go home tonight, but if Sweet Tooth doesn't go tonight, one of you will be going home tonight."

Stepney was confused, "What's going on?"

"He wants to take me and Harry to the end. He thinks he can beat us, I think." replied Mikayla.

Metal Mario wasn't buying any minute of Mikayla's words.

"With Stephen having immunity, it marks Mikayla up for elimination. Everything she said so far has been pure BS in my opinion. She's trying to break up the Savaii tribe as a whole." - Metal Mario

Stepney was going to say something, but Metal Mario spoke first.

"I appreciate your concerns," replied Metal Mario, kindly, "We will discuss them, and think about it."

Mikayla nodded, and left.

Metal Mario turned to Stepney, "Vote for her tonight, as planned. I don't buy anything she said."

"Mikayla told us Sweet Tooth wants to take her to the end along with Harry. Metal Mario doesn't believe it, and says she's trying to save herself by spreading rumors. Rumors that she probably made up." - Stepney

Metal Mario left Stepney alone, and went to warn Sweet Tooth.

"Mikayla wants you out tonight," warned Metal Mario, "Says you're trying to take a former Savaii out tonight."

Sweet Tooth shook his head in anger, "She's wrong. For that matter, it makes tonight's vote even easier. There's nothing now she can do to save herself. Even if she gets Stephen's vote."

"What Metal Mario told me, just ended Mikayla's life in the game. I wanted to help her, but she didn't accept, and for that, she must go home tonight." - Sweet Tooth

"Trust me, Metal Mario," soothed Sweet Tooth, "I have your back. You will go to the Final 4. You, me, Harry, and Stepney."

Metal Mario nodded, and shook Sweet Tooth's hand.

– – – – –

The Cact-X tribe entered tribal council.

"We'll bring in the members of our jury,"

"Brandon,"

Brandon was wearing a purple turtleneck, an black trousers.

"And Bruce, voted out last tribal council."

Bruce was wearing a black sweater, blue jeans, and a purple scarf. He, along with Brandon, was happy to see Stephen immune.

"With Stephen immune tonight, the big alliance of 6 must turn on one of its own. Stephen, happy to have that immunity?" asked Jeff.

"Well let me think about that... yep! I am happy to have this immunity! Because, if I didn't have it, I would be out of the game. No questions asked." replied Stephen.

"Ling Ling, is tonights vote easier said then done?" asked Jeff.

Ling Ling shook his head.

"Ling Ling don't think so." replied Ling Ling.

"Stepney, do you regret not competing in today's challenge?" asked Jeff.

"Not at all. I enjoyed the food I ate, as did Harry. I don't think my inclusion in the challenge would've changed who won." replied Stepney.

"Metal Mario, how do you vote tonight?" asked Jeff.

"It's all about the numbers here." replied Metal Mario.

"Ok, it's time to vote, Metal Mario, you're up."

– – –

Mikayla's Vote: Hopefully, the rest find out you are a scoundrel. (Sweet Tooth)

Sweet Tooth's Vote: You had my full support, but you ruined it, and you must go home. (Mikayla)

– – –

"If anyone has the hidden immunity idol, and you want to play it, nows the time to do so."

No one did anything.

"Ok, 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, Sweet Tooth. (He nodded.)

Mikayla. One vote Sweet Tooth, one vote Mikayla.

Mikayla. Two votes Mikayla, one vote Sweet Tooth. (She rolled her eyes.)

Mikayla. Three votes Mikayla, one vote Sweet Tooth.

Twelfth person voted out of Survivor Aquatic Ruin, and the third member of our jury, Mikayla. That's four, it's enough, you need to hand me your torch.

Mikayla wasn't too happy, but accepted it. She handed her torch to Jeff.

"Mikayla, the tribe has spoken."

He snuffed out her torch.

"Time for you to go."

Mikayla left without another word.

"Looks like the Upolu who jumped ship just got the boot. I'm looking forward to the end of the game. Grab your torches, and head on back. Good night."

– – – – –

Mikayla's Final Words

"I know this whole thing was my own fault, but I think it was coming anyway, since I was a former Upolu member. Sweet Tooth's playing a damn good game, and hopefully someone can take him out before he reaches Final Tribal Council."

VOTE

Mikayla – Ling Ling, Sweet Tooth, Stephen, Metal Mario, Stepney, and Harry

Sweet Tooth – Mikayla
