Episode 11: New Guests
Previously on Survivor:
The two tribes came into their immunity challenge to hear a shocking twist in the game.
'No tribe tonight is safe from elimination tonight.' Jeff says to the two tribes. 'Which means that all of you will be attending tribal council tonight.'
With both tribes going to tribal council that night, everyone competed in their tribes for individual immunity. By the end of the challenge, both individual immunity necklaces were won by Sonic and Silver. The two then had to then battle for reward, a chance to watch the other tribe's tribal council and some food to go along with it. In the end of a very tough battle for reward, Sonic won it for Kaosu.
Back at the Kaosu camp, everyone thought they would find the decision easy, until it came down to who would go home that night, Marine or Big.
'I'm not even kidding, I will be so grateful if you keep me in.' Marine pleaded to Sonic and Amy.
This decision made the vote for Kaosu hard. But in their tribal council, after a mild debate on alliance hierarchy, Marine was sent home.
'Ninth person voted out of Survivor Soleanna… Marine.'
Back at the Tenshi camp, the original Kaosu camp were dead set on voting out Knuckles, a potential threat to their game, but original Tenshi flirted with the idea to blindside Sticks and stay as a strong five.
'We're being completely honest,' Silver told the group. 'We want to work as a five in the merge.'
Even after their conversation, Rouge, Vector and Sticks decided not to vote one of their own alliances off. But at tribal council, Shadow brought up a fact that shattered the original Kaosu alliance.
'Sticks, if you told me who the vote was, why didn't you vote with us?' Shadow asked her.
'Why would you tell him Sticks?' Rouge hissed.
'Oh, just throw me into the fire?!' Sticks snapped. 'Is that how it is? I say we just stick to the plan!'
'And what plan are you following?' Rouge replied
In the end of a long, heated debate which shocked everyone at tribal council, Rouge and Vector changed their plans and voted out Sticks.
'Tenth person voted out of Survivor Soleanna… Sticks.'
Ten are left, who will be voted out tonight?
Tenshi, Night 19
The Tenshi tribe came back from an extremely dramatic and unexpected tribal council. However, everyone was relieved with the result.
'I knew I should've voted her out.' Rouge laughed as she set her torch against a tree.
'Final five baby!' Vector exclaimed as the rest of the tribe cheered. The five made their way towards their shelter to try and rest and just talk things out amongst each other. Rouge felt her foot step on some strange, handmade item as she was making her way towards the shelter.
'What…is this thing...WOAH' she immediately got lifted by a net, placed under the sand. She felt her heart stop for a solid second as the net lifted her up in under a second. She was trapped, she could barely see around her, only the fire was in sight, but everything else couldn't be seen.
'Ugh, one of Sticks' traps!' Vector growled.
'Wait…' Silver thought out loud. 'How did she put that there without anyone knowing?'
'Oh my god! Get me down!' Rouge yelled. Knuckles seemed to enjoy the sight of the bat being trapped in the net.
'Where did she even find a net!?' Silver yelled.
'I'll get you down.' Shadow grumbled as he climbed up the tall tree to untie the rope. As he did, the net fell and Knuckles was right there to catch her from above.
'I could use a man who can carry me.' Rouge winks at Knuckles as he gags at her comment.
'Thank god we voted her off!' Knuckles exclaimed.
'Tell me about it. I feel relieved.' Rouge sighed. 'It's just us from now on. We can win this if we stick together.'
The five sealed their deal by shaking on it.
Kaosu: Night 19
The Kaosu tribe walked back to camp with their torches in hand. Not only had they enjoyed the reward of eating hot dogs and soft drinks, but they also got blown away at the other tribes' tribal council.
'That… was amazing!' Sonic laughed, shaking his head.
'I'm still shocked by that tribal council.' Amy smiled. 'The way they fought about it.'
'At least they won't have to deal with Sticks at their camp anymore.' Espio grumbled.
'And that thing about Shadow speaking up?' Sonic continued. 'Dang, never thought I'd see the day he would care for someone else.'
'We got back from the double tribal council, and a lot of information was revealed about the other tribe.' Blaze started. 'Jeff brought up the fact that Shadow saved Silver using his immunity idol. I don't know what this means for them, but I have a feeling they've formed a connection. What I'm questioning right now is, will Silver come back with Amy and I or will he stay with him?'
Kaosu: Day 20
The tribe woke up early that morning. Big had brought more seafood for the camp to eat for breakfast and Amy was cooking the rice over the fire.
'I've got tree mail you guys.' Blaze announced as she walked over to her tribe mates with a rolled-up scroll. Everyone immediately surrounded her, waiting for her to read the note. 'Congratulations castaways for surviving so long. You have all proved that you can be strong. But make your camp ready and cook some rice, make sure your new visitors think it's nice. They will be staying here for the rest of the game, while you try to fight and preserve your flame. That can only mean one thing!'
'We're at the merge!' Amy exclaimed with glee.
'Well done guys.' Big congratulated the group.
'Dang,' Sonic sighed with a smile. 'We survived ten people out here.'
'Should we have a welcoming ceremony?' Amy suggested.
'And how would we do that?' Blaze asked her with a smile.
Tenshi: Day 20
'Congratulations castaways for surviving so long. You have all proved that you can be strong.' Rouge was reading out the tree mail for the tribe, who were all sitting around her in the shelter. 'But pack your bags and leave camp behind, there's another camp waiting outside. You must bring yourselves and only you, as you greet your new camp with some food. It must be what's in this crate.' Rouge looked at the crate. She decided not to open it yet.
'We're at the merge!' Vector smiled. 'We did it!'
'Congrats guys!' Knuckles exclaimed, giving high fives to Silver and Vector.
'We need to bring all this stuff.' Shadow informed the group.
'Everyone should be responsible for these accessories.' Silver pointed out.
'No matter what, that hammock is still mine!' Knuckles exclaimed, making Rouge giggle.
Merged Tribe, Day 20
The Kaosu camp were sitting around, talking with each other about the merge. The whole tribe were very excited that they were now at the merge, but it did mean the gameplay will have to increase.
'Reaching the merge is a great thing to achieve out here, but it's also a bit awkward.' Amy started. 'You have ties with the people coming into this camp and now you just have to be in the same camp with them. What if nothing works out? As much as I'd like to trust Silver and Knuckles completely, I'm not sure if I can do it. My mind wants to, but I don't think I can.'
Big peeked his head out so he could see the end of the beach. 'Is that them?' he said.
The Kaosu tribe all stood up and saw five people walking from the end of the beach. Each we're carrying items such as comfort items, torches, the crate of food and even the Tenshi banner. Sonic waved at the newcomers.
'Hey guys!' He yelled out to the five. Some waved, some didn't due to what they we're carrying, but they all responded with a smile.
'Mind if we crash here!?' Knuckles yelled out to Sonic, carrying his hammock sheets and the tribe flag on his shoulders.
'Fine with me!' Sonic yelled out.
The Tenshi tribe made their way towards the camp, all carrying items. Some people from Kaosu quickly offered to take them, but Tenshi insisted on carrying the items themselves. As all the items were placed beside the camp shelter, the five started greeting the other five with hugs and handshakes. Most were excited to have new camp members, most were excited to play in the merge.
'Welcome to Kaosu camp guys!' Sonic greeted all of them at once with a big smile.
'Thanks Sonic!' Silver thanked him and the other Kaosu members.
Each castaway briefly caught up with one another in the group. The group mainly talked about how camp life was, how they were doing. Nothing strategical at all, not yet anyway.
'It's back to ten in a shelter.' Blaze sighed.
'It's so nice to see you all!' Rouge exclaimed.
The new merged tribe sat around together, deciding to settle down. Knuckles brought over the crate that came from the tree mail to the group for them to open.
'What's in there?' Amy asked him.
Knuckles opened the box to find an arrangement of fruits and bottles of juice inside. The whole tribe couldn't think of a time they were so happy to see a fruit picnic in their lives. They've been living on the island for 20 days now, of course they want any form of food. The picnic consisted of pineapple, fresh banana, apples, grapes and strawberries along with orange, pineapple and mixed berry juice.
'This looks incredible!' Vector exclaimed, looking at the food.
'Welcome to the merge guys!' Silver exclaimed as they all cheered for each other.
'When the Tenshi camp first arrived at camp, it was an amazing experience. Aside from the game itself, I can't wait to spend time with them and just have fun with it!' Sonic smiled.
...
'There's a note on the lid.' Rouge pointed out as she grabbed it and read the letters. 'Now that you have hopefully settled in, a new tribe name is in order. Found in a separate box will be your new buffs. Where's the other one?'
The Tenshi tribe looked around but didn't see anything, no one had brought a box in.
'Want me to check tree mail?' Sonic asked the group. 'We might've missed it this morning.'
Sonic was excused from the group as he got up and sped towards the location of the tree mail. Once he arrived there, he found a box next to the tree mail.
'This must be it.' He said to himself. He picked up the box and headed back for the tribe where the others were still sitting with each other. As Sonic sat down, he opened it and there were a bunch of black buffs there. Everyone put it on, taking off their original buffs.
'Now that we have these buffs, what's the tribe name?' Shadow asked the group.
'How about… Chaos!' Knuckles smiled. 'Get it?' everyone else looked unimpressed, all shaking their heads as Knuckles' smile disappears.
After several minutes, the tribe gave up and decided that whatever comes to mind, they'll shout it out to the whole group and see if everyone agrees with it.
…
'I knew the minute I arrived to the Kaosu camp, I really had to catch up on some things. I know that I have a deal with Rouge, Shadow, Vector and Knuckles, but I just want to know where Amy and Blaze at for now. I'm stuck between two sides right now.' – Silver
Silver sat with Blaze on the beach. The two thought that it would be in their best interests to catch up with each other. Amy on the other hand was too occupied with "helping" Sonic catch some coconuts in the trees. Ever since the two joined the same tribe, Amy has reverted back to her usual self, chasing Sonic around. But Blaze knew Amy still had strategical game, she just wasn't showing it off, which was fine with her.
'Hey Silver, how has things been?' Blaze asked Silver, both sitting down next to each other.
'Hectic.' Silver sighed, shaking his head and looking down to his feet. 'I was on the block during the swap. What about you guys?' Silver paused. 'I just want to know where you guys are at, I don't want to assume anything is happening.'
'What makes you say that Silver?' Blaze asked with a confused tone, surprisingly.
'You know… that blindside with Cream wasn't ever resolved properly, and that tribe swap didn't help either. We kinda left things on a bad note.' Silver sighed.
'I agree. Amy has been asking me a lot to see if you're still on board with us or not.' Blaze laughed a little. 'I've just told her that you would like to be with us in this game.' Silver smiled at Blaze's comment. 'I think she half believes it, but not at the same time.'
'I know, but that blindside was me thinking about the tribe. Shame we swapped.' Silver grumbled.
'I know you did Silver, and it's a common move to make. Yeah Cream was nice and all, but she never performed well in anything. I think the reason Amy is so down about it is how she wasn't warned out it. I think she feels that you could've voted her out if they were targeting her.'
Silver looked shocked. Amy would think that Silver would've betrayed her? Sure, he did vote Cream out, but that was Knuckles' suggestion anyway, and plus, he only wrote her name down in the re-vote. He had good intentions, but all these words supposedly coming from Amy really make him uneasy. Could he trust the two if they thought about him in this way?
'Where are we then?' Blaze asked him, acknowledging his shock at her comments. Blaze thought that in hindsight, it wasn't a good idea to tell him how Amy felt about Silver.
'I…' Silver paused. 'I want to be around you guys. You're all great! But I also kinda made connections with the other five, my swapped tribe.'
Blaze sat there for a second. "Am I down a number?" she thought to herself. 'I understand Silver.'
'Please don't take it personally.'
'I'm not.' She reassured him. 'I get it, you spend days with them trying to survive, it makes sense, not to mention Shadow saved you from elimination.'
'My chat with Silver today went as I expected it to. I know the five of them made a commitment to each other. I need to figure out a way to pull someone out of that alliance because I really don't want a tie in the votes. Unless there's an immunity idol and we play our cards right.' – Blaze
Reward Challenge, Day 21
'Come on in guys!'
The merged tribe made their way into the area where Jeff stood in front of one black mat. The ten stopped at the mat, all looking rather excited.
'Here we are, the merge. How are you guys finding things at camp?' Jeff asked the group.
'We're actually getting along pretty well.' Espio smiled. 'We had a great day yesterday with the fruit feast.'
'Do you guys have a name yet?'
'Jeff, we've decided to call our tribe "Tenaosu"' Amy told Jeff, the whole tribe smiled at the name. 'A combination of the two names.'
'Good choice. Okay Tenaosu tribe, ready to get into your first reward challenge as a merged tribe?'
Everyone responded with enthusiasm, all ready to do the challenge.
'Today's reward challenge is a Survivor classic. The Survivor auction!' Jeff smiled as the ten appeared very happy that it was the auction. The auction consisted of a seating bench with a surface for Jeff to auction off items.
In the auction, each person is given $500 to purchase anything that is up for auction. As a normal auction, the highest bidder wins the item. But be careful, some items will remain covered. Bidding will be in $20 increments, you cannot share your money and the auction will end without warning, so if you see something you like, bid!
Jeff took his place behind the auction desk with his gavel. Each person had an envelope with $500 inside, all eager to start the auction.
'First item… I'll uncover it.' Jeff lifts the cover off the item. 'A bowl of nachos and some cola.'
Everyone looked at the nachos in awe. Actual food! Almost too good to be true, it looked that good.
'$20!' Amy yelled.
'$60!' Silver battled.
'$80!' Amy challenged him again.
'$80, going once…' Jeff stated. 'Sold to Amy for $80.'
Amy walks over to the bowl of nachos and her mouth begins to water. 'Oh my god!'
'Take a bite right here.' Jeff offers, she does as he tells him to. She took one bite of a nacho and it felt like heaven to her.
'Oh! So good!' she mumbled among the food. Amy brought her bowl back to her place.
Jeff brought up another item, again covered. 'This item will remain covered.'
'$20.' Sonic smiled.
'$40.' Shadow raised.
'$80.' Sonic challenged.
'$80 going once…'
'$100!' Shadow challenged.
'$100 going once… sold to Shadow for $100.'
Shadow walked over to Jeff with his $100 in one hand. Everyone was eager to see what the covered item was.
'Alright Shadow. $100 bought you this…' Jeff lifted the cover to reveal the item. 'A steak sandwich, along with hot chips and tomato sauce.'
The whole tribe dropped their mouths at the sight, even Shadow had a positive reaction to the food in front of him.
'Take a bite right here.' Jeff offered as Shadow held the sandwich and took a large bite out of it. Shadow usually dislikes showing emotion through his face, but you could see the satisfaction covered in his face. His eyes fluttered at the taste of the sandwich. He took it back to his seat to enjoy.
'Next item,' Jeff took out another item. 'I'll show it to you' Jeff uncovered the item. 'A chocolate pudding.'
'$140!' Blaze exclaimed. The rest of the tribe whistled in surprise.
'Wow, Blaze jumps straight to a hundred. Going once… sold to Blaze for $140.'
Blaze walked up to Jeff with $140 in her hand. The chocolate pudding was perfectly cooked, covered in warm, melted chocolate with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
'What do you want from this pudding Blaze?' Jeff asked her.
'I just want that amazing taste of the melted chocolate. I've been craving it.' Blaze took a bite out of the pudding with a spoon, she felt like she was in heaven. From that one bite of the pudding, she felt so light and fluffy. She took it back to enjoy.
'Next item… will remain covered.' Jeff pulled out the next item.
'I'll go $60.' Rouge bided.
'$80.' Silver bided.
'$120.' Rouge bided.
'$140.' Silver bided.
'$200.' Vector bided.
'Vector with $200. Going once… sold to Vector, $200 for the mystery item.'
Vector walked up grinning with pride, holding his $200. The rest of the tribe rolled their eyes at his cockiness.
'What did I get Jeff?' Vector grinned as he handed Jeff the money.
'$200, got you… a survivor version of spaghetti.'
'Oh nice!' Vector exclaimed with a big smile on his face.
Jeff lifted the cover. 'Sea noodles, and slug guts,'
'Oh man!' Vector yelled as he covered his eyes.
'with, a little bit of cheese. To add flavour.' Jeff smiled as he added cheese to the small bowl of noodles, consisting of gross, unpleasant pieces of food. Vector tried to let out a smile but he cringed at his bowl of food, walking back to his spot. Even Rouge moved a little to the right when he sat down with his "food".
'Next item… you've all been eying the covered item to my left… a shower!' Jeff exclaimed as the cover in front dropped to reveal a private shower.
'$100!' Amy bided.
'$140!' Silver bided.
'$160!' Sonic bided.
'$240!' Silver challenged. Everyone seemed to back off seeing the huge raise in price.
'Silver with $240. Going once… a shower, sold to Silver for $240.'
Silver walked up with his money, very excited.
'Jeff, I've stunk for twenty-one days and my quills feel really dirty.' Silver smiled as he handed Jeff the money.
'Jump in the shower, clean yourself up.' Jeff smiled back as Silver made his way to the shower. He took off his shoes and gloves and quickly jumped in. The feeling of clean, pure water on his body felt refreshing, better than any food items in the auction, hands down. Complete with soap, shampoo and conditioner too!
'How does it feel Silv?' Sonic asked the hedgehog.
'Oh my god.' Silver moaned, enjoying the shower. The rest of the tribe laughed a little. 'This feels incredible.' He said as he washed his head.
Jeff went to grab the next item from the bench.
'Next item… a clue to the hidden immunity idol, hidden at your camp.'
'$300!' Rouge bided.
'$320!' Espio bided.
'$360!' Shadow bided.
'$420!' Sonic bided.
'$500!' Rouge challenged.
'$500!' Sonic bided.
'Okay, two people at $500. Here's what's going to happen. Rouge, Sonic, you'll both draw rocks to see who gets the clue. Person who gets the white rock, gives the $500 and gets the item. Come on up.'
Rouge and Sonic walk up to Jeff with their money in hand. Jeff held out a bag out, consisting of two rocks.
'Grab a rock, don't reveal it until I say so.' Jeff orders them.
The two put their hand into the bag and picked out a rock, not knowing the colour of it. The two then held their hands out but with their fingers closing in on their rock.
'Reveal.' Jeff ordered.
Sonic got the white rock, which meant he had to fork over $500 for an immunity idol clue.
'Sonic get's the idol clue. Rouge still has her $500.' Jeff announces as Sonic gives him his $500. An immunity idol in the merge was absolutely crucial. The thing is, so much damage could be done with two of them.
Rouge and Sonic sat back down at the bench, waiting for Jeff to bring out another item.
'The survivor auction is now over! Congratulations to those who bought something, as for the rest of you, I have nothing for you. Silver, you're gonna need to get out of that shower and then you can all head off.'
Tenaosu, Day 21
The Tenaosu tribe got back from the auction. Most were happy about the reward they had won, except for Vector who was still holding his sea noodle bowl in his hands.
'Do you guys have chickens?' Vector asked the group.
'Yeah, but I don't think they'd like to eat that!' Amy laughed while Vector refused to look at this bowl.
Vector threw the contents of the bowl into the forest and placed the bowl for it to be cleaned. He then pulled out two bananas from the bunch of bananas hanging from the side of their shelter and inhaled them. Espio for once, did not like this, even though there were an abundant number of bananas in the bunch.
'At the Kaosu camp, we've been rationing out our food sources very carefully.' Espio explained. 'We really only have one plantain before each immunity challenge and that's it. We never eat them in any other case. But now that the Tenshi tribe have come into our camp, they just take and eat food as they wish, and that's just not how we do it here! They just take our food and eat it as if we have an unlimited supply! I want to survive with a good ration of food and not run out.' – Espio
Just as Espio glared at Vector taking a banana, Rouge comes behind him to get some of her own, followed by Silver. The three happily ate their bananas like it was a usual day, unaware of the annoyed original Kaosu tribe glaring at them.
'Aren't you going to save some you guys?' Sonic asked the three as the original Kaosu tribe stared at them.
'What do you mean?' Shadow asked him.
'Oh, I'm sorry hun! Do you want one?' Rouge jumped, pulling off another banana from the abundant group of bananas. Espio facepalmed as Rouge stared at him in confusion.
'No, I'm fine.' Sonic smiled, trying to be polite about her offer. 'It's just, we've been rationing our food in our camp so it can last for the whole game. It's how we do things here. Don't you two know about it?' Sonic asked both Vector and Rouge, both originally being from Kaosu since day one.
'Oh, I forgot about this.' Rouge sighed.
'What is it?' Vector asked the bat.
'Don't you remember the first day when we came back with supplies and Tails brought up the idea of having very small rations of food, which meant only…'
'…one banana per person before a challenge.' Vector finished her sentence.
'Well, we're still doing it.' Espio huffed.
'Are you kidding? There's hundreds of bananas here!' Shadow exclaimed. 'It would take you centuries to finish all of this!'
'Not if you guys take five a day!' Amy exclaimed. Shadow kept his cool, trying not to lose it on the tribe.
Knuckles woke up from his nap in the hammock, obviously hearing about the banana debate. 'I agree with Shadow! There's hundreds of them!'
'That's not the point!' Espio exclaimed.
'Then what is it? Are there actually only ten bananas that are good to eat?' Shadow replied sarcastically.
'It's not just the bananas you guys.' Sonic sighed, obviously irritated by the discussion. 'Ever since you guys have arrived here, you just take food without thinking.'
'You do realise there's food here to last us over a month!' Knuckles exclaimed at Sonic.
'But if we just eat it at will with ten of us here, it won't.' Espio pointed out. Everyone seemed very irritated at the argument about bananas.
'Guys!' Silver cut in. 'We don't need to argue about this. We're sorry about the amount of food we take, we're just used to different system. I think we can all move past this and move on.'
Everyone paused, refusing to make eye contact with each other. No one wanted to admit or apologise for their actions.
'At first, I thought that the banana debate was just Kaosu trying to rub us the wrong way, but then I understood that they do things differently to us. The tension between the two tribes is so bad, we have an argument about bananas' – Silver
'There's an obvious tension between the two tribe alliances, which to be honest, I didn't expect.' Blaze started. 'You have the old Tenshi tribe who just eat anything they set their eyes on and on top of that, Espio is just being an ass towards them about it. I mean, tell them why you're mad at they'll understand eventually.'
…
An hour had passed after the argument about Tenshi and the bananas. Sonic sneaked away from the tribe and pulled out his immunity idol clue that he had bought at the survivor auction.
'I sneaked away from the group so I could read the clue that I bought from the auction, which by the way, there's so much tension around everyone. People would usually think that buying a clue in front of everyone is a bad thing to do. But now they're too scared to vote me because I might have one. And not only would I have one… but I also have the other one I found at Clash Beach. So, I'm all set.' – Sonic
Sonic unwrapped the clue in his hand and began to… view the picture?
'Hold up!' Sonic exclaimed. 'It's not a poem?'
The immunity idol clue had no lettering on it. Instead, it had various drawings of a regular shaped plant. The only thing unique about this plan was that the colour of it was dark red instead of green or yellow like most vegetation on the island.
'A red plant…' Sonic thought to himself. 'Is there an idol in a red plant? But I've been here for over twenty days, I would've seen one by now.' Sonic whispered to himself. A red plant?
'Usually these idol clues are poems, usually. But I got one with just a lot of drawings of a red plant. The funny thing is, I've never seen or noticed a red plant in the area at all! This idol is going to take some searching!'
Immunity Challenge: Day 22
'Come on in guys!' Jeff exclaimed as the Tenaosu tribe walked towards their mats on the beach.
All ten survivors arrived at the merged tribe mat.
'Welcome to your first immunity challenge as a merged tribe. Big, what's the mood like back at camp?'
'We welcomed our new guests, but I have seen a lot of distance.' Big told Jeff.
'Well it's a good thing that we are now at the merge. At this stage in the game, it's all individual. Sonic, Silver, going to need those necklaces back.' Jeff walked over to the two who handed their immunity necklaces back to him.
'I'll just set this one aside.' Jeff said as he lay an immunity idol on the ground while putting the other on the frame. 'You guys ready to get into today's challenge?'
Everyone nodded.
For todays challenge, you will be hanging onto a pole for as long as you can. Once you drop from your pole, you are out of the challenge. Last person still holding onto their pole, wins immunity, safe from the vote.
'Losers will be vulnerable at tonight's tribal council where one of you will be the eleventh person voted out of this game and the first member of our jury.'
The tribe smiles. They were now at the jury stage of the game!
'Remember, the jury will get to vote who wins at the final tribal council and decide who receives the title of sole survivor and the one million dollars that goes with it. Let's get to it.'
…
All ten tribe members were hanging on the top of their pole. All were clinging onto their pole as if they were koala's.
'This challenge… is now on.' Jeff declared. 'You are able to move up or down your pole, the only way you can lose on this challenge is if you fall or climb off of your pole, touching the ground in any way.'
Some survivors stepped down a few levels.
'Big, Vector and Knuckles are stepping lower on their poles. Could be strategy, could be that they're struggling with this challenge.'
Big stepped out of the challenge.
'Just like that, Big steps out of the challenge.'
Big made his way over to the bench.
'What happened Big?' Jeff asked the cat.
'I knew I wasn't going to win it. Not my thing.' He replied.
Vector seemed to struggle for the early part of the challenge. He found it hard to hang onto the pole and keep his feet secure.
'Vector is struggling. This challenge is not easy at all.'
Vector stepped out of the challenge.
'Vector now out of this challenge.' Jeff announced. 'We have eight remaining. Who will hold on the longest.'
Blaze, Espio and Silver seemed to be relaxed with this challenge. The three hugged the top of the pole calmly. Sonic and Amy weren't doing as well but remained to hang onto it. Rouge thought it would be a good idea to hang onto her pole lower than the other contestants, which made it easier for her.
'This challenge is for individual immunity. You are no longer playing the game as a tribe, it's just you.' Jeff explained. 'You never know what could happen at tribal council! This necklace will keep you safe, you need it. You want it.'
…
Elapsed Time: 10 minutes
'Alright, we've been out here for ten minutes.' Jeff announced to the remaining survivors.
Strong winds started to roll in from the sea, making it harder for each player, not to mention the sun made everybody very hot and uncomfortable.
'Wind is starting to appear. This makes the challenge even more difficult. If you don't think you can endure something like this after twenty-one days, then you shouldn't even be here.'
Amy started to struggle on the pole. She looked like she was clinging onto it for dear life. She then stepped down from her pole, eliminating her chances for winning individual immunity.
'Amy now out of the challenge! Seven are left: Sonic, Blaze, Espio, Shadow, Silver, Rouge and Knuckles.'
Knuckles started to move a lot on his pole. The strong gust of wind had caught him off guard, causing him to fall.
'Knuckles, falls out of the challenge. We are down to six.'
Knuckles makes his way over to the bleachers with the other survivors that are out of the challenge.
Elapsed Time: 15 Minutes.
Sonic and Blaze's poles were next to each other in the challenge. Blaze noticed that Sonic was now starting to struggle with holding onto the pole, seen by his constant movement and lack of comfort.
'We've been out here for 15 minutes.' Jeff announced. 'Sonic, now struggling on his pole.'
Sonic made eye contact with Blaze. 'I think I'm going to fall off.' He whispered to her.
'It's fine,' Blaze whispered back to him. 'You have the idol clue anyway.'
Sonic jumped off the pole.
'Sonic now out of this challenge! Then there were five.' Jeff exclaimed.
All five remaining survivors, Shadow, Blaze, Espio, Rouge and Silver all seemed to be sitting comfortably with their poles.
Elapsed Time: 45 Minutes
'Well, we've been out here for forty-five minutes now!' Jeff announced, followed by an applause from the other survivors.
Rouge started to wipe sweat off her face. The heat that was penetrating her made her feel very uncomfortable on the pole. She suddenly stepped out of the challenge.
'Out of nowhere, Rouge steps out of the challenge.'
Rouge made her way to the bleachers.
'What happened there Rouge?' Jeff asked the bat.
'Jeff, the sun was just killing me, it was becoming a lot to take.' Rouge sighed. 'It looks like those four could be up there all day.'
'With Rouge sitting down, we are down to four people. Silver, Blaze, Shadow and Espio.' Jeff announced. 'This shows how much someone on survivor can endure. This is not an easy challenge at all.'
Elapsed Time: 1 hour, 10 Minutes
The four survivors have been holding onto their pole for over an hour, and yet no movement came from any of them.
'How the heck are they doing this?' Vector laughed, followed by shrugs from the rest of the group.
Shadow and Silver made eye contact. Shadow would admit that this challenge was becoming very challenging for him. He could feel the sun hitting him hard and the wind trying to blow him off.
'I think I'm going to drop.' Shadow whispered to Silver.
Silver replied with a nod as Shadow stepped out of the challenge.
'Just like that, Shadow drops out of the challenge.' Jeff announced. 'We are down to three. Silver, Blaze and Espio. Both Espio and Blaze came into the merge from the Kaosu tribe, while Silver is the only Tenshi member left.'
Elapsed Time: 1 hour, 30 Minutes
The three were still clinging onto their pole.
'You guys have been out here for an hour and a half!' Jeff announced.
The seven on the bleachers applauded the three.
'Wow!' Sonic said in awe.
…
Silver started to move on his pole.
'Silver, now starting to lose his focus. Could this be the end of his road?' Jeff questioned.
Silver did look uncomfortable while trying to reposition himself on his pole. 'Good luck guys.' Silver tells the two as he steps off the pole.
'Silver now out of the challenge! It's down to Blaze and Espio.'
Blaze and Espio made contact with each other as they were hanging onto their poles.
'How are you Espio?' Blaze asked him.
'Quite alright, you?' Espio replied to her.
'Seems like the two are starting to chat.' Jeff points out.
The two did look comfortable on their poles.
'I'm going to jump down.' Blaze whispered to him.
Blaze made her way down her pole.
'Just like that, Blaze jumps off. Espio wins immunity!' Jeff exclaimed, raising his hands to signal the end of the challenge.
Espio jumps down from his pole.
…
'Espio, here's individual immunity.' Jeff announces as Espio walks up to Jeff. Jeff clips the immunity necklace around his neck. 'Cannot be voted out tonight. As for the rest of you, someone will be the eleventh person voted out tonight and become the first member of our jury.'
The Tenaosu tribe walk out of the challenge area. Espio has still holding onto his immunity necklace, feeling how great it felt.
'Now that the challenge is over, it's time for the knives to be pulled out. We need to get together and find a way to get to the next day out here.' – Rouge
Tenaosu, Day 22
The Tenaosu tribe arrived back from their individual immunity challenge. Espio had won the first immunity necklace of the merge, leaving nine others vulnerable at tonight's vote. As you would do on survivor, everyone scrambled with their alliances to discuss the votes.
Shadow, Silver, Knuckles, Rouge and Vector walked off together into the forest, trying their best to not be seen by the original Kaosu tribe.
'Shadow, do you think you can get Big to come with us?' Rouge asked Shadow, starting off the voting discussion.
'Yes. He's on the bottom of his alliance, he should know that after Marine was voted out.' He confirmed.
'Guys, we should vote for Amy tonight.' Rouge told the others, all nodding at her suggestion. 'If Sonic does find his idol before tonight, he definitely won't give it to her. He'd play it on him or Blaze. If we can get Big to join us, we can make this work.'
'Okay, then it's settled.' Vector smiled.
'Cool.' Silver replied, Knuckles also nodded his head.
'Tonight, it's five on Amy and five on whoever they want to vote out.' Rouge started. 'I need to make sure that as a five, we stick together so we can get through this merge. Getting Big on board will help us tonight so this game becomes a piece of cake.'
…
Amy, Sonic, Blaze, Espio and Big were sitting around in the camp area. The Tenshi alliance were out somewhere, also speaking about the votes for tonight's tribal council.
'I say we vote out Silver.' Amy suggested.
'Why him when we can take out someone strong like Shadow or Rouge?' Espio questioned her.
'Shadow might have an idol! They probably think were voting him out anyway.'
'But Silver knows his position in the game.' Espio cut in. 'He betrayed you two and left on the tribe swap on a bad note, he's using Shadow to protect him more than anything, but Shadow is the type who cares for only himself.'
'It's not like Shadow created that alliance with old Kaosu,' Sonic brought up. 'They just decided to vote Sticks off and were just like, hey! We should just stick with this.'
'Shadow doesn't care at all, you think he'd play his idol on those four?' Amy pointed out. 'Silver is a wild card out here. Shadow stays put and only defends himself with idols.'
'I don't care who gets voted out from their side.' Blaze moaned. 'Sonic, you have that clue from the auction, right?'
'Yeah, I haven't found it though.' Sonic sighed.
'Maybe you can search for it. If we can find out the boot for tonight, we'll play it on that person.' Blaze suggested.
'Easier said than done.' Espio sighed.
…
Big had spent most of the day not talking to anyone about strategical game or tribal council that day. He just wanted to go fishing and provide for camp life. He thought he stood with the Kaosu alliance, but was it better for him to go back with Shadow?
Shadow managed to catch up with Big. The two were somewhat close before the tribe swap and haven't spoken to each other since. The two were on the beach.
'Hey Shadow!' Big greeted the hedgehog.
'Hi Big.' Shadow sighed. 'I just want to let you know that I will be happy to let you back in my alliance.'
Big paused and only stared at the hedgehog.
'The Kaosu tribe are big threats in this game. If you stay with them, your time here will be limited.'
'Okay.' Was all Big could reply.
'I would like you to write down Amy's name down tonight. I hope we can stay on the same page in the future.'
'Sounds like a plan.' Big replied, however Shadow wasn't convinced that he was being genuine.
'My conversation with Big didn't bring an outcome I wanted. His responses left me feeling uneasy. I don't trust that Big will do the right thing tonight. If he does write down Sonic's name tonight, he might just be the most unpredictable person on survivor.' – Shadow
…
Amy walked along the beach with Blaze, wanting to discuss the votes for that night.
'I'm still so lost in who the vote is for tonight!' Amy told Blaze, walking next to her with a coconut in one hand.
'I say we write down Shadow's name tonight. To me, it makes a lot more sense to do that.' Blaze told Amy.
'But what if Shadow has another idol?'
'I doubt that. If he had the time to find some bond between the four of them, he didn't have the time to find an idol anywhere. We shouldn't vote Silver or Knuckles out now. If we need them in the future, we can work them.'
Amy thought about the two options for a little.
'I just recommend writing down Shadow. It makes more sense than voting out anyone else.'
'Okay then.' Amy replied.
'Amy really just needs to open her eyes and see that Shadow is still the biggest threat in this game and that he should be the priority when it comes to the votes for the merge. Voting out anyone else would keep him here, which might create dents for my game.' – Blaze
…
Shadow caught up with his alliance who were sitting around at camp.
'Did you have a talk with Big?' Knuckles asked him as he walked over to the four.
'I did.' Shadow replied.
'What did he say?' Vector asked. 'Is he going to join us?'
'I don't… know. He did say 'sounds like a plan', but it didn't feel right.' Shadow sighed, sitting down next to Silver.
'So, you don't trust him?' Silver asked him.
'No.' Shadow said bluntly.
The five paused for a few seconds.
'Did you say we were voting Amy?' Vector asked.
'I did.' Shadow replied.
'He could've told the others that Amy was the vote for tonight.' Silver pointed out.
'If Sonic has that idol, he will play it on her.' Rouge suggested, followed by a pause from the group. 'I think we should change to Big.'
'Vote out Big? Seriously?' Knuckles asked her.
'I think It's the safest vote for tonight.' Silver said to himself, loud enough so the others could hear. 'There's no way they will suspect Big to be the vote.'
'And even if he does follow our vote, there's no tie and we still have the numbers after it.' Vector pointed out. 'Voting him out will give us five to four.'
'Are we now voting for Big?' Shadow asked the group.
'Yes!' The others exclaimed.
…
Big walked up to Sonic, Amy, Blaze and Espio who were all sitting at the beach. The two alliances had been very divided, rarely talking to each other after that immunity challenge.
'What's up Big?' Sonic asked the cat as he arrived.
'Shadow told me that they're going to vote out Amy.' Big blurted out.
'What!' Amy exclaimed, standing up in an instant. 'That's ridiculous!'
'Although it does make sense.' Blaze said. 'They know Sonic has an idol clue with him. They're trying to vote someone else so Sonic will be paranoid and play it on himself.'
'Since when do you take me as someone to be paranoid?' Sonic grinned.
'What are you thinking Sonic?' Espio asked him.
Sonic stood and thought about his options. He didn't reply to the group.
'I'll see what happens.' He said after a while. 'And if I get the feeling, I'll do it.'
…
Blaze caught Silver off guard at the water well. He volunteered to fill up everyone's canteens, wanting to be alone for a little while.
'Hey Silver.' Blaze says as Silver jumps a little, not expecting her to come.
'Jeez Blaze, you scared me.' Silver sighed. 'What's up?'
Blaze wanted to see if Silver was willing to flip back to her side. She wanted to keep her alliance safe for the night, which meant someone did have to flip.
'Silver, I'm just going to be honest with you.' Blaze started. 'I want you to flip to our side tonight.'
Silver didn't say anything.
'I know, it's a big ask. But I really think that joining me will really benefit your game. Shadow is someone who only cares about himself. If he wants to vote you out, he has no problem.'
'Listen Blaze.' Silver sighed. 'I'll think about it. I really will.' Silver paused, Blaze was still silent. 'I need to think about my game tonight, because this is a big decision.'
Tribal Council, Night 22
The Tenaosu tribe walked into tribal council with their torches in hand. It was the first time coming into tribal council as a merged tribe, someone will become the first member of the jury tonight, and no one wanted it to be them.
The ten placed their torches and sat across Jeff.
'Tenaosu, this is your first tribal council as a merged tribe. You have been out here for 22 days now!' Jeff reminded them as the ten smiled. 'Sonic, what was the mood like back at camp?'
'When Tenshi first arrived at our beach, it was all smiles and the day went well. But recently, the tribe has been very divided.' Sonic explained.
'How so?'
'Well… you have the Tenshi alliance all sitting and talking with each other on one side of the camp and then the Kaosu alliance on the other. There was barely a time when the two tribes communicated with each other after the challenge.'
'Rouge, Sonic has just pointed out that the tribe is very divided because of their alliances. Would you say his statements are true?'
'Yes, absolutely.' Rouge agreed. 'We may all get along, but this is a game and we have to discuss strategy. It's the merge, the most important and crucial part of this game. It's no longer doing what's best for the tribe, it's about yourself.'
'I wouldn't say we all get along.' Espio cut in.
'Why's that Espio?' Jeff asks him.
'Jeff, ever since the Tenshi tribe came into our camp, they've been ruining how we ration the food to keep us alive. Everyone on the Tenshi camp just comes and eats whenever they feel like and how much they feel like. We have this system that saves bananas, we only eat them before a challenge. But for example, some of them ate about four bananas and it wasn't even before a challenge.'
'So, what you're saying is that the Tenshi camp has disturbed a system that has been working for the Kaosu camp?'
'Yes.' Espio replied. 'We tried to confront them about it but they all just dismissed it and didn't apologise or anything.'
'Can I defend my alliance Jeff?' Knuckles raised his hand.
'Go ahead.' Jeff allowed him.
'First of all, the highest number of bananas I saw one of my allies eat is two bananas. Have you ever consumed over two bananas? It's not a pretty feeling at all.' Knuckles pointed out. Espio wanted to speak but Knuckles proceeded to talk. 'And second, it's not like you didn't react badly to our response either. You didn't acknowledge that we've done things differently to you guys in the past and some of you just got really bitter over it for nothing.'
Jeff started to smile in amusement.
'At the end of that stupid argument, Silver wanted to make amends with the tribe, but you all just blew him off and gave us all the silent treatment.'
'Silver,' Jeff cut in. 'Is tribe unity important to you?'
'Of course.' He replied. 'If we're going to be living with each other, we might as well just get along. I don't think a dysfunctional camp will make anyone's game enjoyable and I think we all know that.'
'Amy, it seems that the tribe tonight is at a five to five split.' Jeff pointed out. 'There would've been talks about people flipping to other sides.'
'Yeah. No one wants to go to rocks tonight,' Amy sighed. 'so, the first thing you would have to do is try to get someone to flip to your side.'
'Do you think that will happen tonight?'
'I'm not too confident about this Jeff, but you never know.' Amy told him.
'Well, it seems that this tribe is very divided when it comes to the votes so I'll end the suspense here. Espio has individual immunity, cannot vote for him. Everyone else is fair game. Sonic, you're up.'
Sonic goes to vote
'To take other the pack, you must kill the leader.'
Knuckles goes to vote
Blaze goes to vote
Shadow goes to vote
Rouge goes to vote
'You're a sweetheart, but I'm here to make big moves and win this game.' (Big)
Silver goes to vote
Amy goes to vote
'I hope Sonic does play his idol on me so I can still be here tomorrow. As for you, your time is up.'
Big goes to vote
Espio goes to vote
Vector goes to vote
Vector sits back in his seat.
'I'll go count the votes.' Jeff says as he walks to collect the voting urn.
…
'If anyone has a hidden…'
'Jeff!' Sonic stands up, cutting off Jeff.
'Yes?'
Sonic stands up and pulls out an immunity idol. 'What is this, the fourth immunity idol play of the season? I would be stupid to waste this baby tonight, but I would like to play this on Amy.' Sonic announced as he gestured towards Amy. Sonic hands Jeff the immunity idol.
Rouge hid her grin.
'I can confirm that this is a hidden immunity idol. Any votes cast for Amy will not count. It's a bold move by Sonic. Once the votes are read, the decision is final, person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes.'
Sonic smiled, seeing that Amy looked very shocked but relieved while Rouge sighed, dropping her shoulders.
…
First vote… Amy. Does not count
Sonic and Amy smile.
…
Shadow.
…
…
…
Big.
Blaze and Sonic looked very confused.
…
…
Shadow. Two votes Shadow, one vote Big.
…
…
Shadow. Three votes Shadow.
…
…
Shadow. Four votes Shadow, one vote Big.
Rouge looked a little stressed.
…
…
…
Big. Four votes Shadow, two votes Big.
…
…
Big.
…
…
Big, we're tied. Four votes Shadow, four votes Big. One vote left.
Sonic's alliance looked very confused while Vector and Rouge were smiling.
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
'Eleventh person voted out of Survivor Soleanna and the first member of our jury… Big. That's five votes. You'll need to bring me your torch.'
Vector and Rouge sighed in relief while Shadow sat still, knowing that he wouldn't be going home. Sonic, Amy, Blaze and Espio couldn't believe what had just happened as Big stood up to grab his torch. Amy stood up and hugged Big, still shocked by the result.
'I'll miss you Big.' Amy whispered. She pulled away from the hug and let him grab his torch, bringing it over to Jeff.
'Wow.' Sonic mouthed.
Big stood in front of Jeff with his torch in the ground.
'Big, the tribe has spoken.'
Jeff snuffs his torch.
'Time for you to go.'
Big looks back to the Tenaosu tribe.
'Good luck guys!' He exclaimed, waving goodbye to everyone. Everyone waved back as he left the tribal council area.
'It seems to me, whether you did have past connections or not, it seems to me that you have stayed together as your swapped tribes. The question is, will these bonds last or will it break apart?'
The original Tenshi tribe smiled at their move.
'But before you guys go…' Jeff announced, getting everyone's attention. 'We have unfinished business here.'
Everyone looked very confused. Unfinished business? Someone got voted out tonight, didn't they?
'Oh my god.' Sonic sighed, very confused with Jeff.
'I would like to welcome our eliminated contestants.' Jeff announced to the group. Everyone's mouths dropped.
'Tikal.'
Tikal walked in, smiling at the group.
'Jet.'
Jet walked in, still having a cast on his leg. He didn't greet the remaining players at all.
'Wave.'
Wave walked in, also avoiding eye contact with the players.
'Dr. Eggman.'
Eggman walked in, making eye contact with Shadow, as if he was congratulating him on his efforts. The last time Eggman was in the game, Shadow was on the very bottom of Tenshi. He expected him to be voted out next.
'Tails.'
Tails walked in with a very positive manner, waving enthusiastically to Sonic. Sonic felt very ecstatic and light to see Tails again.
'Cream.'
Cream walked in, waving to everyone smiling. Everyone waved back to her.
'Fiona.'
Fiona walked in and gave everyone a menacing glare.
'Sally.'
Sally walked in, smiling to the remaining players.
'Marine.'
Marine walked into the area and was shocked to see Big gone, but still waved to the remaining players.
'And Sticks.'
Sticks walked in, avoiding any contact with the players, any camera and any producer.
'Oh crap.' Silver sighed.
'You guys have outlasted these ten faces.' Jeff said as the former survivors, now sitting at the jury bench, smiled. 'You may be wondering, what they are doing here tonight at tribal council. For the first time ever, you will vote one of these faces to be the second member of the jury.'
The nine players looked shocked and dropped their mouths. They couldn't believe it, what a twist! The eliminated players obviously knew about this beforehand, they laughed at the others reactions.
'All nine of you have outlasted these ten players. Now it's time for you to vote someone into the jury. Remember, the jury decides who wins at the end of the game, your vote tonight will be based on who would favour your qualities. It's time to vote, Sonic, you're up.'
Sonic took a deep breath and walked towards the voting shack.
Sonic goes to vote
'Buddy, you're my best friend. I know I can count on you at the end. I feel great seeing you here again, I've missed you.' (Tails)
Amy goes to vote
Silver goes to vote
Shadow goes to vote
'We haven't seen each other for a long time, but I feel that I can trust you with rewarding the true winner.' (Wave)
Rouge goes to vote
Knuckles goes to vote
Vector goes to vote
Blaze goes to vote
Espio goes to vote
Espio sits back in his place.
'I'll go count the votes.'
…
'Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The eliminated player voted into the jury will leave the tribal council area and make their way to Ponderosa where they will be the second member of the jury. I'll read the votes.'
First vote… Cream
Cream smiled.
…
Tails.
…
Wave.
Wave looked surprised.
…
Sally.
Rouge winked at Sally.
…
Tails, two votes Tails.
…
Cream, two votes Cream.
…
Sally, two votes Sally.
…
Tails, three votes Tails, two votes Cream and two votes Sally, one vote left.
Tails smile grew larger.
…
…
…
…
…
'The second member of our jury… Tails. That's four votes, you'll need to go to Ponderosa where you will become the second member of the jury.'
'Yes!' Tails shot up. 'Thanks you guys!' he said his goodbyes to everyone and walked out of the tribal council area to head to Ponderosa.
Jeff looked at the remaining nine. 'Well it seems that a majority of you feel that you have earned a vote in the finale, but only time will tell if it will work out. Grab your torches and head back to camp. Good night.'
The Tenaosu tribe stood up to collect their torches. On their way out, they waved goodbye to the eliminated contestants.
Big's Final Words
'I really had fun playing Survivor! I didn't like being voted out though, I wanted to be there longer. Shadow lied to me about the votes.
'You could flip so easy, which is why we have to vote you out.' – Silver
'But I did have fun!'
Big: Arriving at Ponderosa
Big walked out of the tribal council area. He was shocked that his name was brought up at tribal council, sending him home. Even thought he did vote with Shadow, he still had to go.
'I was just voted out of Survivor.' Big explained. 'And now I'm the first member of the jury, which means I get to choose who wins! I can't wait to eat good food again!'
Big reached a small hut with some medics and producers in it. The hut consisted of a mirror, a scale and a chair. The purpose of this hut was to measure the weight of the contestants leaving the game and for them to see how their appearance has changed.
'Hi Big!' The medic greeted him. 'You're here to see the changes that have occurred over the past twenty-two days in this game! How much did you weight before the game?'
'280 Kilo Grams.' He replied. (616lb)
Big stepped onto the weight scale, waiting for the scale to determine his current weight.
'Alright Big, you have lost about 10 Kilograms.' The medic informed him. (about 20 lbs)
Big also checked out his appearance and saw that his whiskers were significantly larger and his belly size had decreased a little.
Big arrived at the Jury Villa, also known as Ponderosa. It was a nice, tropical house with native plants. The structure was breathtaking to someone who had lived in a bamboo shelter for 22 days. He walked in to be greeted with a table of food. Big's mouth watered at the sight of the food. Pizza, hot dogs, roast chicken and a variety of drinks at the bar!
'This food looks so good!' Big exclaimed as he walked over to the table. He had eaten until he couldn't eat anymore, which was a strange statement for a Survivor player to make.
Tails: Arriving at Ponderosa
'This… is…awesome!' Tails exclaimed. 'To even be told that I have the chance to be a jury member was enough for me, but now actually being voted a member thanks to this twist… I can't believe it. I still get to be a part of this game! Even if it is to vote for a winner that isn't me.'
Tails kept on walking down the path that led out of Tribal Council.
'It was great to see them all, especially Sonic. I've missed him ever since I got voted out, it's great to see he's still surviving out there.'
…
Tails arrived at Ponderosa in a different car than Big. He stepped out and took everything in, standing in front of the mansion that was Ponderosa.
'Man, this looks amazing!' Tails sighed.
He made his way up some stairs towards the entrance of the house. It was beautiful.
'I was the fifth person voted out and now I'm the second member of the jury. My luck is starting to turn, but I think the person being voted out next owes me answers.'
Tails opened the double doors to enter the house. Walking in, he saw Big stand up, shocked to see him walk in.
'Tails! What are you doing here?' Big exclaimed.
'I got voted into the jury!' Tails told the cat.
'But you got voted out a long time ago.' Big questioned. He was still confused on the whole situation.
'I know, but the twist was that the people still there could vote an eliminated player into the jury. I got four votes.' Tails shrugged, smiling.
'Nice!' Big exclaimed as he sat back down and ate his food. 'Want anything?'
'I'll… have some pizza. I'm not as hungry as you would be right now.'
Tails grabbed a slice of pizza while Big was devouring his food.
'So, what's been going on in the game ever since I left?' Tails asked him.
Big gave him the basic rundown. How the tribe swap occurred, making Sonic on the top of the swapped tribe. Sonic's adventure with Blaze to Clash Beach and pretty much every vote out he had witnessed before the merge.
'Right now,' Big started. 'It's swapped Tenshi against swapped Kaosu. We have Shadow, Rouge, Vector, Knuckles and Silver against Sonic, Amy, Blaze and Espio.'
'Dang.' Tails replied. 'I thought Silver was allied with Amy and Blaze?'
'He was… but Shadow saved him from the chopping block on his tribe.'
…
'Just from hearing stories from Big tonight about the game, it's crazy. Ever since I left it's like hell broke loose. I really hope Sonic and Espio make it far in the game, they've been through a lot this season and they seriously deserve this!' – Tails
