THIS TOOK TOO LONG FOR ME TO WRITE. But i think this is one of the better chapters. Hopefully next chapter will be up a lot quicker.
Previously on Survivor
Tragedy struck at the Magma camp
"Holy crap," Candice shouted. In front of the camp was a giant horned pokemon. "That's a freaking Nidoking." The purple pokemon that resembled a rock dinosaur proceeded to walk around the camp. Blaine, Candice and Surge cowered far away from it as it tore the shelter to shreads.
But they no longer had to live at their broken camp when the two tribes merged.
David nodded and threw a package of light green buffs in between the two tribes, "There are no more Magma and Aqua. You are all members of Emerald."
Archie caused many problems and was wanted out by Cynthia and Flannery
"Look at me, I'm sandman," Archie yelled as he ran up and grabbed Flannery around the waist. Flannery screamed and punched Archie away. Seeing this Surge went up and held back Archie as Cynthia and Candice confronted the scared Flannery.
But Norman decided to change it up
Norman shook her head, "No one likes Archie, so we would be able to be able to get him out at any time." He then suggested who should go next. "Brawly is a likeable guy, and also strong… he should leave."
Cynthia Confession, "I don't trust Norman, he is a snake. I have a secret alliance with Brawly… but I didn't want to betray Magma yet."
In order to save himself… Brawly won the first immunity challenge
Brawly stepped down at … 59 minutes and 17 seconds." Brawly fist pumped knowing he had done great.
"BRAWLY WINS IMMUNITY!"
Cynthia was forced into a difficult decision.
"If it sounds like Archie is going we will vote for him with you," Brawly shrugged, "We don't want to be in the minority."
"I don't know," Cynthia responded, "Surge and Blaine are tight… I want Surge gone."
But in the end Archie's aggressiveness at tribal council cost him his game.
"They are voting me off because they are scared of me," Archie confessed.
"We're not scared of you… it is the smartest strategic move," Surge defended.
"Then man up and lets have a fire making challenge," Archie challenged, "loser goes home. Just throw your vote away."
There was silence for a few seconds. "That's what I thought," Archie muttered.
"Eighth person voted off the island…"
"And first member of the jury…"
"Archie."
"DAMN!" Archie shouted causing a few people to jump. He brought his torch up to the host. Flannery, Norman, and Cynthia high fived in the background.
Eight are left… who will be voted out tonight
EMERALD CAMP – DAY 25
Archie's departure from the game brought a better attitude to most of tribe.
"I've waited 24 days for this morning," Brawly laughed, "The first morning without Archie. I'm making breakfast to celebrate."
He had collected fruit and was boiling rice with some fish he caught earlier.
Norman Confession: "Even though he is our biggest threat… Brawly can cook a good meal. It may be worth keeping him around a little longer."
Everyone gathered to eat breakfast except one member of the Emerald tribe.
"Cassidy has taken it hard," Candice shrugged, "Archie was her only friend."
The camera went to Cassidy who was lying in the shelter…
"Whatever," Blaine snorted, "She knows she is going next anyway."
Later in the forest Cynthia and Brawly were talking.
"Sorry about last night… Archie's tribal speech made me realize he needed to go," Cynthia confessed.
"It is cool I guess," Brawly sighed, "Just would of preferred a heads up or something."
Brawly Confession: "Candice and I aren't looking very good right about now. We are definitely on the outs of the tribe."
The camera spans to a tribe gathering in the camp area.
Cynthia Confession: "So near the end of the day we were bored and we had finished all our jobs so we decided to have a dance contest."
Norman laid down a beat as Flannery and Candice began to dance. While Candice was great at the traditional dance moves, Flannery pulled out all the stops including the worm.
"Dang girl you are on fire," Brawly laughed. The rest of the tribe laughed as well including Cassidy who seemed to even be enjoying herself.
Next up were Blaine and Cassidy. Blaine did what I guess you could call dancing… it was pretty bad. Cassidy was a surprisingly good dancer. Norman finished up and she did a bow.
Cassidy Confession: "Some of these guys aren't that bad… I don't know they still annoy me though."
The final round was Brawly, Cynthia, and Surge. Norman decided that he'd just be the beat master.
Brawly grabbed his leg and put it behind his back, he used the other arm and put it behind his head and started hopping around. Everyone laughed at his failed attempt to dance. Surge kind of just stood there awkwardly and Cynthia was just an above average dancer.
Blaine Confession: "As cool and useful as he is Brawl has got to go… he once again proved that he is so well liked that he could easily sway people's votes in the later stages of this game… and is a lock to win in the finals."
The camera fades out with Brawly laughing with Norman, Flannery, and Candice at his failed attempt to dance.
REWARD CHALLENGE – DAY 26
The eight remaining castaways walked into the challenge area. There was a puzzle board at the end of a grueling obstacle course
"Welcome to your first individual reward challenge," David smiled, "You will start on the floating platform 50 meters away. You will be attached to a rope which is weaved around a series of underwater obstacles. At the shore remove yourself from the rope. There are a series of 3 of slanted hills that you will have to get over followed by a belly
crawl under the bars. Once you complete the course you will find 3 bags of puzzle pieces. First person to assemble the puzzle wins reward…"
The competitors attempted to take all that information in.
"Want to know what you're playing for?" David asked. The players nodded.
"A feast," David revealed, "You will go up to the site of Old Cinnabar gym, inside the volcano for a huge meal. You will spend the afternoon in the famous hot springs."
"I want this so much," Flannery drooled in hunger.
The eight survivors swam out to the starting platform and were attached to the ropes.
"Survivors Ready," David asked, "GO!"
The eight castaways dived into the water. They all dove under and began to make their way through the elaborate obstacles.
Surge quickly made it through the first half of the obstacles. Norman and Flannery struggled to keep up. Candice was a second behind them. Cynthia took her first breath and was definitely still in the race. Brawly had gotten tangled up in the first obstacle and had lots of ground to make up. Cassidy and Blaine were both struggling with holding their breath.
Surge arrived at the final and most difficult obstacle; the rope wrapped around a log five times. He took a breath and dived to the ground. He quickly made it past and walked on the shore with a huge lead.
Norman fought hard to come back completing many obstacles in just one breath. Candice and Flannery had yet to give up however they were five seconds back from second place Norman. Brawly had caught up to the girls and aimed for a comeback. Cynthia, Cassidy, and Blaine had kind of given up.
Surge ran up the first hill easily and started on the second hill. Norman arrived at the final obstacle with Brawly nearing him and Candice and Flannery stayed in it about seven seconds behind.
Surge emerged from finishing the belly crawl and opened the puzzle bags. He was greeted by about 60 square pieces, which were supposed to make up the merge tribe flag. Since a lot of pieces were similar he had a lot of trouble starting it.
Norman and Brawly arrived on the shore and ran up the first hill. These hills, being sand were incredibly hard to balance on. At the top of the second hill Brawly slipped giving Norman second place. As Norman dived onto the belly crawl and Brawly started carefully running down the last hill, Candice made it to the shore shortly followed by Flannery. Blaine and Cynthia finally made it to the final obstacle as Cassidy had just dived down.
Norman arrived at the puzzle and noticed Surge had made little progress. Seconds later Brawly joined the puzzlers ready to complete his comeback.
Because of her fatigue Candice was struggling with the hills while nimble Flannery quickly made it to the belly crawl. Cynthia arrived at land followed by Cassidy and then seconds later by Blaine.
Surge, Norman, Brawly and now Flannery were all battling for the reward. Surge had a huge time advantage, however, had only completed two-thirds of the puzzle. Norman completed about half, while Brawly was close behind him. Flannery, who got a lucky start was already a quarter done.
Dramatic music continued as Surge continued to struggle with the final few pieces and the others battled to come back. Two puzzle boards are shown, one with bigger hands, and the other smaller, both with only a couple pieces left.
The bigger hands struggled to flip the pieces and put them in right spot where the other one quickly finished the puzzle.
"I'm done," Norman shouted and lifted his hands.
"Norman wins reward!" David shouts.
Norman was given highfives as Surge lowered his head in defeat.
"Norman, pick 2 people to join you," David said.
Norman thought for a second… "I choose, Flannery and Cynthia." The girls smiled and ran over to hug and thank him.
"Now pick someone to go to exile," David demanded.
"Sorry Surge," Norman shrugged. Surge held his head and walked to the boat to transport him to exile.
"Brawly, Candice, Cassidy, and Blaine," David concluded, "head back to camp, I'll see you tomorrow."
REWARD
Norman, Flannery and Cynthia were in the helicopter flying to the volcano. Flannery looked out the window wide mouthed. "This is so cool.
Flannery Confession: "I've always dreamed of going to the original cinnabar island gym, it's a fire trainers dream."
They landed at the platter of chicken wings, potato skins, coke, and beer, and most importantly an ice cream machine. "This is freaking amazing," Cynthia cheered. They pigged out and stuffed themselves silly.
The camera returns seeing most of the wings gone and a pile of empty beer bottles. The three walked to the hot springs.
"This is so relaxing," Flannery said lying in the springs.
"It sucks having to go back into the game." Cynthia sighed, "But I think this will help me push through till the end.
"Totally," Flannery smiled. "Us three will definitely be the last three."
Norman smiled, "Definitely girls!"
Norman Confession: "I just hope Blaine is planning my downfall back at camp."
The three got back on the helicopter and headed back.
EXILE ISLAND
Surge arrived to exile to find a clue lying on a log. He read the clue and began to look for the coveted immunity idol.
Surge Confession: "I really need to find this idol. While I am guaranteed final five I am definitely the first one out. So this idol is incredibly important."
He searches for a while and then heads back to the little camp he made. The sun was beginning to set and he called it a night.
"What a fail," He groaned, "Hours of searching for nothing." An idea seemed to spark in his head. "I need to atleast make them believe I have an idol to keep me in the game."
Surge began constructing an idol made out of the things he found around his miniature camp. "Always been good at crafts." Surge laughed, "Growing up with older sisters will do that to you."
He placed his idol on top of the log where the clue was originally placed. "No one votes out someone with an idol," Surge laughed, "It is too risky."
EMERALD CAMP – DAY 26
Brawly, Candice, Blaine were standing around the fire by the camp.
"Missed out on a great time," Brawly sighed.
Blaine agreed, "Sure feels like crap, you know being on the outside."
"Now you know how I have felt this whole game," laughed Brawly.
"I think if Cassidy goes next, me, you, Surge, and Candice can be four," Blaine said in a scheming tone.
Brawly Confession: "Most people don't think rewards matter, but the people left behind our hurt. And feel betrayed."
The sun set and then rose again, indicating the next day.
EMERALD CAMP – DAY 27
Norman, Flannery, and Cynthia returned from the reward.
"Welcome back guys," Candice smiled giving the returning survivors a hug, "How was it."
"It was nice," Cynthia replied being modest, "I would of preferred something more cool and refreshing then a hot springs." The four of them left. Norman looked around as if waiting for someone else to greet him.
Norman Confession: "It was kind of discouraging that Blaine didn't greet us. I'm worried he might be planning something."
Norman, Cynthia, and Flannery were talking just outside the camp.
"We many need to reorder who goes next," Norman explained.
The two girls looked confused at what he was meaning.
"I don't trust Blaine, and I think to keep him in control we need to get rid of his biggest ally," Norman explained. As he was explaining a figure walked and approached them. "Hey just the girl I wanted to see," Norman smiled, "Are you interested in voting Surge?"
"Why?" questioned an intrigued Candice.
"There is no way he will lose any physical challenge," Cynthia explained.
"I will betcha a million dollars that he has the idol," Flannery tells Cynthia and Candice.
Candice Confession: "No one has any idea that I have the idol… it is perfect."
Cassidy was in the shelter holding the flint.
"I've had it with these people… they voted off the only cool person here and now they are going to pay," Cassidy laughed evily.
She used the machete to hit the flint creating sparks… she made a small fire and placed it on the fishing equipment.
"Lets see Brawly catch fish without these… then I will be really impressed." Cassidy laughed.
IMMUNITY CHALLENGE
The 7 competitors walked into the challenge area there was a target, a set of bow and arrows. In another part of the challenge area, there were six sided blocks. Some sidIes showed the letters "A,B,C,D" and others showing the words, "True and False."
"Welcome to your next immunity challenge," smiled David, "Bring in Surge returning from exile island."
Surge entered from the forest and greeted the rest of his tribe.
"Lets get to today's challenge," David began, "First things First… Brawly." Brawly nodded and handed him the immunity necklace. David placed it on the stand. "Immunity it back up for grabs."
The contestants were ready for Jeff to explain the challenge.
"This challenge is broken into 2 rounds. The first round will test your archery skills. You will each get one shot with the bow and arrow. There are three parts to the target. The center most will give you four extra chances, the middle will give you two extra chances and the outermost will give you one extra chance."
A video demonstration of someone shooting a bow and arrow is shown.
"The second round is a series of questions about different kind of pokemon found on Cinnabar Island. If you get a question wrong you lose a chance. When you are out of questions your platform will drop and you will be out of the game. Last person standing wins immunity… and has a one in seven chance at one million dollars."
The contestants clapped from excitement.
"The one twist… I will not reveal the answers to the questions so you will not know how well you are doing and if you are about to fall off or not," David added, "Also everyone will start with one chance in case you miss your shot."
Round One began with Cassidy shooting. Cassidy wound up and fired an arrow. It missed the target to the right.
"Cassidy misses," David recaps. Brawly walks up and aims as well. He hit the middle ring.
"Brawly will get two extra chances for a total of three." Candice shot next and hit the outer most section, followed by Norman who also hit the outer most section. Blaine missed the target. Flannery hit the middle section, while Cynthia missed the section.
Lt. Surge was the last person up. He shot a perfect arrow right into the bulls eye.
So going into the questions Surge has five chances, Flannery and Brawly have 3 chances, Norman and Candice have 2 chances, Cynthia, Blaine and Cassidy only have 1 chance.
"Lets start the questions," David smiled. All eight contestants were standing on platforms that are held up by springs. A video is shown of David pushing a button and a challenge inspector tumbling into the water.
"First question… true or false… the Cinnabar Volcano has erupted in the last fifteen years?" The contestants fumbled around with there blocks and tried to answer. Cassidy and Surge put false while the rest of the players put true.
David pulled some of the switches and lowered the incorrect peoples number of chances. Someone fell into the water.
"Damnit," Cassidy groaned as she found herself in the water. She picked herself out of the water and sat on the bench.
"Second question… how many species of pokemon can be found on Cinnabar Island?" David asked, "A is 39, B is 51, C is 57, D is 62."
The contestants scrambled to pick a letter, while David repeated the choices.
Norman put A. Surge put B along with Flannery and Candice. Blaine put C. Cynthia, Brawly put D.
David began pushing buttons and Cynthia was the second person to fall in.
"Next question guys, what does Magmar require to evolve into Magmortor. A) certain level. B) Magmorizar C) Mortor Stone D) Fire Stone
Surge and Candice put A, Blaine and Flannery put B, Norman and Brawly put D.
David pushed buttons two people fell into the water.
Candice and Norman got out of the water. "We are down to four," David smiled.
"Next question, true or false, Growlithe is natives to Cinnabar Island," David asked. The contestants shuffled to find the true and false parts of their six sided blocks.
Surge and Brawly put True, Flannery and Blaine put False.
David pushed some more buttons as another player fell in. "Brawly is out…" David said as Brawly found himself in the water, "Blaine is still in even though he started with one chance."
"Next question, which of the following pokemon can not be found in Cinnibar Island. A) Magmar B) Slugma C) Growlithe D) Charmander," David asked.
Blaine and Surge put B and Flannery but D.
"This could be it," David said as he pulled the switch. Two of the three people fell into the water leaving one person standing on the plank.
"Flannery wins immunity!" Flannery cheers as Blaine and Surge get out of the water.
Flannery walked over to David who put the necklace around her. "Congratulations Flannery, you now have a one in seven shot at winning the game." He then turned to the rest of the tribe.
"For one of the seven of you, tonight will be your last day. Head back to camp I will see you tonight," David warned.
EMERALD CAMP – DAY 27
Brawly and Candice, stood in the forest and sulked. "I want to give you the idol," Candice revealed. Brawly shook is head.
"We are two," Brawly shrugged, "It will do no good for me, I'd just be gone next you need to keep it."
"Its my idol, I can do what I want with it." Candice snapped.
Brawly Confessional: "I really hope Candice doesn't make a bad decision."
Norman, Blaine and Surge were talking, "Brawly tonight?" Surge asked.
Blaine replied, "Yeah dude he's too big a threat." Norman just started in the distant.
"Norman?" Surge said getting his attention.
"Oh definitely dude, Brawly is great so we need him out," Norman stuttered.
Norman Confessional: "I honestly do not know what to do tonight. I could get rid of Brawly, who not only is a physical threat but also a definite social threat. We all know he needs to go soon. Surge on the other hand could very likely have the idol."
Brawly, Cynthia and Norman were talking. "Surge tonight right," Cynthia nodded to Normans question.
Cynthia Confessional: "I'm not exactly sure what is happening tonight. Personally I would like Cassidy gone because she is a terrible person but Norman wants threats out… so we will see."
TRIBAL COUNCIL
The final eight walked into tribal council.
"We will now bring in the member of the jury," David smiled. Archie walked in wearing a black polo and khaki shorts.
"Okay… First question, Cynthia. Does the game change now that it is in the jury stage?" David asked.
"Not really, I guess you just have to be a little bit nicer," Cynthia laughed.
"Brawly original aqua is done five members to three, worried it could be you tonight?" David asked. From the jury bench Archie grinned at this question.
"I would definitely not be surprised," Brawly shrugged.
"Norman…" David began, "How big is this vote tonight."
"It will give me a one in seven chance at winning," Norman replied, "So its pretty big."
"Okay… it is time to vote, Cassidy you are first."
Cassidy walked up to the voting area, wrote down a name and then returned.
Norman was next up, he walked up to the voting area scribbled down a name and held it up. The camera switched to his back so you couldn't see whom he voted for.
"Sorry… this is the best move for me." He folded up the vote and placed it in.
Brawly walked up wrote down a name and returned to the tribal area.
Cynthia walked up, voted and walked back to the rest of the tribe.
Candice arrived at the voting area, she wrote down a name and held it up. It read "Surge"
"Sorry dude, game over."
Blaine was the next person to vote, followed by Flannery.
Surge was the final person to vote, he arrived at the booth and wrote down "Brawly".
"You are a fierce competitor man, it has been an honor."
David walked up to the voting area and grabbed the votes.
"Once the votes are read the decision is final… the person voted off will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately." He paused for a second. "If anyone has the hidden immunity idol now would be the time to play it."
Norman and Cynthia glanced at Surge and when he didn't move looked down at the ground.
Candice looked at Brawly he shook his head subtly and she obeyed.
"First vote…"
"Surge"
"Second vote…"
"Brawly"
"Third vote…"
"Surge"
2 votes Surge, 1 vote Brawly. Surge glanced at Brawly and Candice, knowing them two had voted for him.
"Fourth vote…"
"Brawly."
"Fifth vote…"
David paused building suspense.
Candice help her breath.
Blaine glanced up at Norman.
Cassidy lay back knowing she had been spared.
"Brawly."
Brawly cursed under his breath.
Candice shook her head in frusteration.
Blaine smiled.
Cynthia looked at Norman who nodded.
"Sixth vote…"
"Surge"
Surge gulped getting a third vote but hoped that it was just from Cassidy.
3 votes Brawly,
3 votes Surge,
2 votes left.
"Seventh vote…"
David paused to add continued effect.
Archie loved that is two rivals were both on the block.
Norman smiled knowing he was in complete control.
"Surge…"
Surge knew he had been betrayed.
Blaine shook his head and stared angrily at Norman.
"Eighth vote…"
"Ninth person voted off of Survivor Cinnabar Island…"
"LTS"
Surge picked up his stuff and headed to the voting area. As he walked by he grabbed his fake idol out of his pocket and threw it in the fire. He put his torch up to David.
"Surge, the tribe has spoken… it is time for you to leave." He placed the snuffer over his torch and Surge exited the building without saying goodbye.
"Well… from Surge's reaction I am pretty sure that was a blindside… head back to camp I'll see you tomorrow."
Votes For
Surge: Brawly, Candice, Cynthia, Norman, Flannery
Brawly: Surge, Blaine, Cassidy
Next Time on Survivor:
A Survivor First send the castaways to tears.
Cynthia Confession: "This was not an accident."
Brawly Confession: "I can't believe… this happened."
And a challenge will prove to be the breaking point.
(All black just voices).
"Ahhhh" a girl voice screamed.
"STOP," David shouts, "BOTH OF YOU OUT OF THE CHALLENGE."
Another voice, "If you kick me out of the challenge I quit."
Final Words Surge
"Well I should of seen it coming but I didn't… the reason I threw my idol into the fire is because I want to think that I had it. I believe right now Candice has the idol and hopefully them thinking that the idol is gone will help her win the game. I had a great experience and can't wait to talk some smack in the final tribal council."
