Chapter 11
The Walls Were Closed on Me
Previously on… Survivor…
The Allies all agreed to vote out Liechtenstein…
"Let's all come to a consensus," China says. "Who are we voting out?"
"Liechtenstein," Russia responds.
But China wanted to vote out Prussia…
"But Liechtenstein is no threat!" China exclaims. "Wait until this challenge – if Prussia does really well at it, but fails to win, we may have to vote him out instead."
In the end, Russia got what he wanted, and Liechtenstein was voted out of the game. Now the only original Axis tribe member in the game is Prussia. Six are left. Who will be voted out tonight?
Day 31
World Tribe
"Well, that's that for the Axis," America remarks.
"You are forgetting someone," China replies.
"Oh, right, Prussia!" America exclaims. "I've sort of considered him part of our tribe."
"Well, he's not!" China retorts. "And that means he's got to be the next to go!"
"I cannot believe that everyone in my alliance fails to see the threat that Prussia presents," China says. "He could ruin all of our games, the same way he ruined all the games of the Axis."
Prussia, meanwhile, discusses his chances in the game with Canada.
"Do you think that your friends will keep the awesome me around even longer?"
"I don't know, Prussia. I don't think China is very fond of you."
"You mean China does not realize my awesomeness?"
"I'm afraid not."
"I can't believe that there is a country out here who does not recognize how awesome I truly am!" Prussia says. "I am utterly shocked!"
Later, all six members of the tribe meet together to discuss their plans.
"Prussia, I'm sorry to say this," England states. "You are going to be the next one voted out of this game."
"And why is that?" Prussia asks incredulously.
"You were not one of the original Allies," England replies. "We Allies are going to stick together to the end."
Prussia frowns, not knowing what to say.
"I thought I was in charge, now the walls were closed on me," Prussia says. "This is not a situation I have been in for a very long time."
"What are we going to do after Prussia is voted out?" Russia questions.
"We'll worry about that when we get to that point," England replies.
"There is no reason to panic," England says. "As long as we prevent Prussia from winning immunity, we five Allies will represent the final five in this game."
Day 32
World Tribe
That morning, the six remaining countries are greeted by Ancient Rome.
"I have a surprise for you!" he tells them.
"You're going to pay off my $15 trillion debt?" America pleads.
"No, not that," Ancient Rome replies. "I have a real treat for you!"
"What kind of treat could this be?" England wonders.
"All of you are very close to other countries, whether you want to admit it or not," Ancient Rome states. "So here's a chance for you to spend some time with them, after you have missed them for so long. China, I want you to meet Hong Kong!"
Hong Kong comes rushing out to greet China, and the two share a warm embrace.
"It's so good to see you, Hong Kong," China says. "I don't have many friends out here."
"Russia, here's someone who really wants to be with you," Ancient Rome states. "Meet Belarus!"
Belarus rushes out and immediately glomps Russia. Russia is completely embarrassed.
"Will you marry me, brother?" Belarus asks.
"Ha ha ha… let's not get into that right now," Russia replies.
"England, for you we have Scotland!"
Scotland runs out to meet England. The two of them are very happy to see each other.
"What have you been doing while I've been away?" England asks.
"Just playing some golf," Scotland responds.
"Next, it's Prussia's turn… here's Spain!"
Prussia meets Spain and the two share a hug.
"Aren't I so awesome to still be out here after all these days?" Prussia asks Spain.
"Indeed you are," Spain replies.
"Okay, now it's time for Canada's friend… here comes Cuba!"
Cuba rushes over to Canada and immediately begins bashing him over the head.
"America, what is your problem?" Cuba complains.
"I'm not America," Canada shyly replies, to no avail.
"Finally, America."
"I wonder who it could be?" America asks.
"There were no countries that wanted to see you," Ancient Rome states. "But we have found you one friend… meet Tony the alien!"
Tony runs over to America, and the two celebrate with each other.
"So good to see you, Tony!" America exclaims. "I knew there had to be someone who respects me for who I am!"
"Here's a twist," Ancient Rome announces. "You will get time to spend with your loved ones, until tomorrow's immunity challenge, which you will participate in teams of two. You and your friend will work together in the challenge. I'll see you then!"
Ancient Rome disappears, and the countries begin talking with each other.
"Spain, you won't believe it!" Prussia exclaims. "I am running this show here!"
"Oh, I can believe it," Spain replies.
While China and Hong Kong have some rice together, Russia talks strategy with Belarus.
"If we work together, we could win this game," Russia states.
"And how so?" Belarus replies. "You're the only one officially playing."
"Don't worry, you'll get some fame and fortune if I win."
"You mean you'll finally marry me?"
"I wouldn't say that…"
England also discusses his plans with Scotland.
"First we're voting out Prussia," England says. "Then we probably take out Russia and China."
"Don't you think America is dangerous?" Scotland asks.
"America is dangerous, but I think he's not as dangerous as either China or Russia."
"I must make sure to be smart about my moves down the stretch," England says. "There would be nothing worse than screwing up right now."
Day 33
World Tribe
The countries continue to talk with their friends, including Russia going over his plans with Belarus.
"It is clear at this point that I must focus on eliminating players who would be likely to receive jury votes at the end," he states.
"So who should you vote out?" Belarus asks.
"England seems like a very likable guy," Russia continues. "I think that he may be a threat in that category. We must vote him out after we get rid of Prussia."
"Of the remaining players, I find England to be my biggest threat," Russia says. "We must make sure that he does not gain too big of a foothold with America."
While Cuba continues to bash Canada over the head, Prussia tries to explain to Spain why he flipped to the Allies.
"I thought this would be my best chance at proving my awesomeness," he explains. "Now all the Axis know how awesome I truly am!"
"But they also think you're a real jerk, don't they?"
"That doesn't matter! As long as they know that I am here to stay and not going away, that's all that matters!"
"I might have to prove how awesome I am in this challenge," Prussia says. "Because if I lose, I may be out of this game."
Immunity Challenge
"Come on in, guys!"
The players as well as their friends all enter the immunity challenge area.
"First things first, I will take it back."
China hands the Flying Mint Bunny over to Ancient Rome.
"Thank you. Once again, immunity is back up for grabs. For this challenge, you and your partner will have your legs tied together, as this will be a simple three-legged race. The first pair of you to complete the course wins immunity and a guaranteed 1-in-5 shot at winning this game. Make sense?"
The players nod in agreement, and then they get their legs tied together.
"For immunity! Survivors ready? Go!"
The countries take off, with America immediately tripping and falling down, having trouble getting used to Tony's small stature. Canada and Cuba take a lead in the race, with Prussia and Spain as well as China and Hong Kong chasing closely behind them.
"This course has quite a few bends in it!" Ancient Rome announces. "Watch out that you don't get tripped up going around a curve!"
As soon as he says this, Prussia trips, bringing down Spain with him. This enables England and Scotland to pass them. Meanwhile, Russia and Belarus are struggling badly, falling behind even America and Tony.
"Canada and Cuba holding the lead at the moment!"
As Canada and Cuba reach the halfway point of the race, they hold a significant advantage over China and Hong Kong.
"Make sure not to go too quickly, or you'll bring down your partner!"
England and Scotland try desperately to catch up, but in speeding up, they end up crashing to the ground. Prussia and Spain pass them up, still finding themselves quite a ways behind the leaders.
"Canada and Cuba still in the lead, about 2/3 of the way through the course!"
China and Hong Kong begin to make up some ground on Canada and Cuba, and they are all the way caught up to them at the ¾ point of the course. Prussia and Spain are a distant third, with the others still struggling to figure out the challenge.
"It's neck-and-neck as we get close to the finish line!"
Both the Canada-Cuba team and the China-Hong Kong team try going just a bit faster to gain an edge, without losing their balance. They begin going around the final turn, ready to finish the race, when Cuba suddenly trips, bringing down Canada with him. But as they trip, they also fall into China, who brings down Hong Kong as well.
"Big crash!"
Prussia and Spain desperately try catching up as they see the others on the ground. They end up passing them just as both teams pick themselves up.
"This will be a close finish!"
All three teams reach the finish line at practically the same time. However, Ancient Rome is able to see who finished first.
"Prussia wins immunity!"
Prussia jumps into the air in celebration, bringing himself and Spain crashing to the ground. They congratulate each other as they lay on the ground in a tangled mess.
"Congratulations, Prussia, this is for you."
Ancient Rome tosses the Flying Mint Bunny to Prussia, who squeezes it to his chest.
"Now it is time for all of you to say good-bye to your friends."
The countries all hug their friends good-bye, then get ready to go back to camp.
"Tonight is Tribal Council, where one of you will be sent home."
"Very interesting situation with Prussia winning immunity," England says. "I don't know who we will vote out now."
World Tribe
"Well, that ruined everything," Russia complains.
"Who would have thought that Prussia would win immunity?" America says.
"Now who will we vote out?" England asks.
"It's every country for himself now," China comments.
"I warned everyone that Prussia was dangerous, but no one believed me," China says. "Now he is going to stay around, while we are in trouble."
Prussia talks with Canada about his voting plans.
"I am planning on voting out Russia," he tells Canada. "That would be a really big move and keep me on the map!"
"No," Canada replies. "I think it's more important to vote out England at this point."
"Why England?" Prussia asks.
"He seems to be a friendly enough guy that he will get a lot of support at the final Tribal Council, if he makes it that far."
"I see your reasoning. Still, I think it makes sense to vote out Russia at this point."
"Russia or England?" Prussia says. "I really don't know."
Russia pulls China aside and tells him of his plan to vote out England.
"I like it," China responds. "You are finally thinking ahead in this game."
"This is the way to go," Russia states.
"If we vote out England at this point, we will be in good shape, and still be able to take out Prussia later," China says.
England also has a plan, as he talks with America.
"Russia seems quite a bit dangerous," he tells America. "We should vote him out."
"Fine with me!" America replies.
"This is going to be an interesting Tribal Council," England says. "The balance of power in this game will swing one way or the other."
Tribal Council
The six remaining countries walk into the Tribal Council area, taking their seats across from Ancient Rome.
"We now bring in the members of our jury. Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, and voted out last Tribal Council, Liechtenstein."
The jury members walk into the Tribal Council area and take their seats.
"We're getting close to the end here. Every one of you must feel like you are in some sort of danger, right?"
"Absolutely," China replies. "Anything could happen at this point. We thought we were all safe for at least one more vote, but then Prussia won immunity."
"So you planned on voting out Prussia?"
"Prussia was not part of the original Allies," China states. "Yes, we planned on voting him out."
"How does that make you feel, Prussia?"
"Not awesome, that's for sure," Prussia replies.
"Well, you're safe for this vote. How safe do you feel, Canada?"
"I think I am very good at flying under the radar," Canada responds. "I think that will continue to help me here."
"America, you have to consider yourself a big target, don't you think?"
"Of course!" America replies. "Russia, China and I are very big targets, and we all feel some sort of danger."
"Do you feel the pressure mounting, Russia?"
"Yes, I do," Russia responds. "It hasn't always been easy for me out here, but I continue to survive, and I hope to continue to do so."
"What about you, England? Do you feel like you are in danger?"
"I think that all of us besides Prussia are in danger tonight," England states. "I don't know how this vote is going to go."
"One thing's for sure, Prussia will not be going home tonight. You cannot vote for Prussia, everyone else is fair game. It is time to vote. America, you're up first."
The theme "Marukaite Chikyuu" plays as the countries go to vote.
America goes to vote.
Canada goes to vote.
China goes to vote.
England goes to vote.
"My vote is for you, Russia," England says. "Hopefully I'll get enough help for you to go home."
Prussia goes to vote.
Russia goes to vote.
"England, I am sorry to say, but I must vote for you," Russia says. "I only hope to keep on surviving."
"I'll go tally the votes."
Ancient Rome gathers the votes, then returns to the players.
"Once the votes are read, the decision is final, and the country voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes."
He pulls out the first vote.
"England."
He takes out the second vote.
"Russia."
Both England and Russia look on nervously.
"Russia."
Russia begins to get even more nervous.
"England. We're tied, two votes England, two votes Russia, two votes left."
England and Russia both feel very worried at this point.
"England. Three votes England, two votes Russia, one vote left."
Ancient Rome pulls out the final vote, opening it extremely slowly.
"Eleventh country voted out of Survivor: Axis vs. Allies, England. That's four, that's enough. You need to bring me your flagpole."
England curses under his breath as he goes to grab his flagpole. He brings it over to Ancient Rome.
"England, the tribe has spoken. It's time for you to go."
Ancient Rome takes down England's flag and hands it to him. England then leaves the Tribal Council area.
"Only five of you remain. At this point, you must expect the unexpected. You can head back to camp."
The countries go back to their camp.
"I can't believe I was voted out," England says. "I never did anything to hurt any of these countries! I can't understand why I was chosen to be voted out here. At least I can say that I beat France."
Who voted for whom:
America – Russia
Canada – England
China – England
England – Russia
Prussia – England
Russia – England
Scenes from our next episode:
China plans to vote out Prussia:
"No matter what, in the next vote, we must vote out Prussia," he tells them. "I told you he was dangerous, and that's why he must go."
But Canada begins to feel some concern:
"I have no choice," Prussia states. "I must show off my awesomeness and win immunity."
"But if you win it, don't I get voted out?" Canada wonders.
"Don't be silly!" Prussia exclaims. "America would never turn on you!"
And it all comes down to one vote, decided by one hero:
"I'm in a sticky predicament," America says.
