Previously on, Survivor,

Deadpool knew he needed to make a new strategy to save himself, and that strategy was to pretend to not exist for the rest of his time in the game. As he did this, Serena and Glaceon talked strategy and planned to bring in Martian Manhunter and Zatanna once Deadpool, Issun, and Toadette are gone. Meanwhile, Toadette was told by Issun to try and save herself.

So taking Issun's advice, Toadette spoke with Martian Manhunter and Zatanna, and suggested to them making an alliance with them, Issun, and Deadpool. They planned to send Deadpool to Exile Island so that he could get an idol. Meanwhile, the alliance of Gadget, Felicia, and Hyde planned to keep Toadette, and gun for Serena and Glaceon after Issun and Deadpool are gone.

At the reward challenge, the team of Issun, Martian Manhunter, Gadget, Felicia, and Glaceon completely dominated the challenge, and they sent Hyde to Exile Island.

While the reward winners enjoyed their reward, and read their letters from home, Hyde managed to find the hidden immunity idol, grateful to grab it before Serena did.

Back at camp, Toadette brought up to Serena and Zatanna that perhaps Hyde would be able to get the hidden immunity idol simply out of being sent to Exile Island twice. Toadette's suggestion seemed to be working for her, since they considered it. However, Serena was a little worried.

At the immunity, Gadget, Zatanna, and Orbb made it into the final round, and thanks to Gadget's pre planned strategy, she overtook both Orbb and Zatanna to win immunity once again.

Before tribal council, the pairs of Issun and Toadette, and Martian Manhunter and Zatanna were planning to side together in order to break up the main Maochong alliance, and hopefully using Serena and Deadpool to get what they want. Upon speaking with Serena, Zatanna learned that maybe pulling a move now would be a little too early.

At tribal council, Deadpool's invisible strategy didn't work for him, and he became the second member of the jury when Serena wouldn't commit. 10 are left, who'll be voted out tonight?

Final 10: Felicia, Gadget, Glaceon, Hyde, Issun, Martian Manhunter, Orbb, Serena, Toadette, and Zatanna

Jury: Trevor and Deadpool

– – – – –

Jiamaoru Day 25

With Deadpool out of the game, Issun felt a little bit betrayed by those who had promised him that Orbb was going home.

"Last night, I thought that for sure Orbb was gonna go... but in the end it ended up being Deadpool. Makes me so frustrated that Serena wants to stay loyal to the majority alliance. An alliance that WILL take her out once they can. It's just... so insulting." - Issun

Issun sat down next to Toadette, shaking her head, "Well... I think we're the next to go. I think Serena got into the heads of Martian Manhunter and Zatanna, and got them on board to boot Deadpool."

"I'm just so confused... how can they not see that Gadget, Felicia, and Hyde are going to run away with the game?" wondered Toadette.

"They are blind," replied Issun, "They are probably promised deals to the Final 3 that of course won't be kept. Seems like the only solution at this point."

"With Deadpool gone, myself and Issun are likely the next two out the door, and... if we can't find a way to stay, we're both going home, and that won't be a fun end to Survivor for me." - Toadette

Issun wrapped an arm around Toadette, "For now... you still need to save yourself, because let's face it, I'm going before you, babe. Listen, I came out here for Ammy and Chibi's sake. She ain't doing this again. Sure, I'm an asshole, but I'm a lovable asshole. But if I can't win, I want you to win."

Toadette smiled at him, and hugged him back, "Aw, thanks Issun... I'll do my best to please you, my family, and yours as well."

"Toadette's my only friend in the game. My only real friend. That's saying a lot, considering all the hell and back we've been freaking through! I wanted to control this game, but we ended up as the underdogs of this game! Not how I planned it, but what's done is done." - Issun

Meanwhile, down by the beach, Serena was talking with the likes of Martian Manhunter and Zatanna by herself.

"I wanted to make the bold move last night," commented Serena, "But... I didn't want to keep Deadpool around to do so. He's too much of a snake."

"And I agree with you about him," agreed Martian Manhunter, "But it is now or never. The two of us, you and Glaceon... and bring in the Maochong outsiders. With that power, we can go up against those three."

"I'm glad J'onn has his head back in the game. I think going on the reward gave him purpose, and I think he's ready to play the game to win, rather then to let someone else win. Which is always helpful, because the more energy we have, the more chance we have to win." - Zatanna

Serena nodded, "I agree but... I don't trust Issun or Toadette right now. Especially Issun. I think he'll be gunning for me now that we didn't let him in on booting Deadpool."

"Don't worry about him," replied Zatanna, "We'll just have Toadette be the messenger girl to him. As long as he doesn't screw this up, we'll be in the majority. Just need to deal with Hyde's possible idol."

"Since Hyde was sent to Exile twice, the first to do so, I think it's possible that he has the idol, or at least someone in that alliance if he gave it away. If they catch wind about this plan, we need to be on the offensive." - Serena

Martian Manhunter was silent for a while, thinking in his head, while Serena spoke, "That's true. I feel like I need to be sent to Exile Island next... but I don't know if I'll be picked."

"Maybe there could be another way around it?" suggested Martian Manhunter.

"What do you mean?" asked Zatanna.

Martian Manhunter looked over at her, "Since they would suspect that you already had the idol and used it... you wouldn't be able to find it a second time without new clues. Since Maochong and Ruchong clues are completely unique from eachother... Serena could share her clues with you, Zatanna."

"Do you... think that could work?" asked Zatanna, a little worried that it wouldn't work.

"J'onn tells us that maybe if Zatanna goes to Exile Island instead, people won't suspect she'll find the hidden immunity idol again. But if I share my clues with her, clues that she hasn't even seen, being a Ruchong member, maybe she'll be able to surprise them." - Serena

"My theory could be put to the test right now," replied Martian Manhunter, turning to look at Serena, "Serena, do you still have the clue from the advantage from the Triple Twist?"

Serena nodded, and pulled it out of her skirt pocket. She then handed it over to Zatanna.

Zatanna read over it, and nodded, "Yep... J'onn's right. My clue was different from yours."

"Mhm.. and if I remember what my first clue was from the first time I went..." remembered Serena, explaining to Zatanna was she remembered.

"If the next reward challenge is in teams, we are prepared for it, I would think. Serena has enough clues to potentially find it, and now so does Zatanna. I am predicting Zatanna will be sent over Serena simply because I would think they would think she can't find it again." - Martian Manhunter

– – – – –

Jiamaoru Day 25

Deep in the jungle, Toadette was out filling canteens by herself. A few moments later, Zatanna and Martian Manhunter approached her from behind.

"Excuse us, but could we have a quick word with you?" asked Martian Manhunter.

"Sure, go ahead." nodded Toadette, not really looking at them.

Zatanna sighed, "Look, we voted Deadpool out last night not because we're lying, but because he was such a loose cannon and wild card that we couldn't take the risk of keeping him. With you and Issun, we know where you stand, and if we bring you in alone, we'd be better off."

"We had to do a little damage control with Toadette just to get her to trust us again. If that majority alliance sticks together, they'll be gunning for Issun next, and then her, so it's in her best interest to join up and take them out before they take her out." - Zatanna

"Could of still told us, though," shrugged Toadette, "I mean, like, we didn't care if Deadpool left, so... we would have joined you."

"That was poor judgment on our hands, and we apologize for that," replied Martian Manhunter, "We will be sincere with you both from here on out."

Zatanna nodded, "Yeah, we will promise you that right now. It's a decision of leaving in 6 days, or going to the Final 3 with us. How about that deal?"

Toadette perked up at the offer, nodding her head, "Hmm... well, I guess I can't deny that offer, huh?"

"Being offered a Final 3 spot with J'onn and Zatanna makes me feel a little better, but not entirely. I just wish they would have more faith in Issun and I, you know? We have votes too." - Toadette

Zatanna smiled at her, and shook her hand, "Good to hear that. Listen... the plan is to get me to Exile Island and attempt to find a hidden immunity idol. We suspect Hyde has one already, so if they catch wind, we have a back up on our hands."

"True enough," nodded Toadette, "Listen, I'm down for anything that's going to happen, as is Issun."

"Good to hear. Also, Serena and Glaceon will be likely joining us," explained Martian Manhunter, "Do not tell Issun that, because we do not trust him to keep it to himself, knowing he's playing a personal game in our eyes."

"Very well." nodded Toadette, sighing to herself.

"I do trust Issun the most out of anyone, but J'onn is absolutely right. Issun's downright upset with Serena for double crossing us too many times, so like... if he has an opportunity to blindside her, he'll take it, no doubt." - Toadette

Meanwhile, in the shelter, Hyde, Felicia, and Gadget were discussing what to do next in the game.

"Let me ask you this, Hackwrench," said Hyde, "are we still too early if we make a move now?"

Gadget shook her head, "Well... maybe, but not really. I feel like it's safe to just vote off Issun next, and be done with him once and for all."

Hyde nodded, "Figured. Why bother giving him more of a free ride when he's had one long enough, man?"

"Issun's next on the cutting block, and I think he knows it too. There isn't really much to worry about right now. I have the idol, everyone aside from Toadette and Issun has my back, and... couldn't be in a more better position, man." - Hyde

"Then it's Toadette right after him, right?" asked Felicia.

Gadget shrugged, "I don't know... I've been thinking. If we take them out next... if the other four are smart enough, we could be walking into a 4-4 tie vote."

"What are you suggesting then?" asked Hyde.

"Well... once Issun's gone, Felicia could bring in Toadette," explained Gadget, "And bring her into the Final 5. We'll say Final 4, and tell her Orbb will go at five, but that will be false, obviously."

Felicia nodded, "Oh! I like that idea! Toadette will be alone without Issun, making us the best choices to bring her to the end!"

"I've grown a good bond with Toadette during our days on Maochong post the triple twist, so I feel like bringing her onto our side after voting off Issun won't be that hard! We have to play smartly, and bringing her in as a fifth vote is absolutely smart." - Felicia

Gadget smiled at her, "Good. For now, just stick to the plan, and we should be fine. If something does happen, I just hope we can get the hidden immun-"

"Got you covered." smirked Hyde, pulling out the hidden immunity idol from his pocket. Both Gadget and Felicia smiled gleefully.

"The fact that Hyde has the hidden immunity idol makes me a tad bit comfortable. I won't lie, until we're in a position where there's absolutely no way we can be broken up, I'm always worried we're going to be blindsided at any moment. We're not invincible. Not yet at least." - Gadget

– – – – –

"Come on in you guys!"

The remaining players arrived at the challenge area.

"Guys ready for today's reward challenge?"

Everyone nodded excitedly.

"For today's challenge, once again you will team up into two teams of five. The lightest member of your team will be hoisted up in the air, being held up by the other four players of the team. Every ten minutes, one player will drop out, leaving the last and strongest member holding up the light player. The last team left standing will win reward."

"For today's reward, you will go on a plane trip around Singapore. You will be dropped off at a water slide made specifically for you guys! Not to mention you'll get a nice little lunch. And as usual, one player will be sent to Exile Island. Let's divide up into teams, and get started."

Team A

Lightest Player: Toadette

In order of strongest to weak: Zatanna, Gadget, Orbb, Issun

Team B

Lightest Player: Serena

In order of strongest to weak: Hyde, Martian Manhunter, Felicia, Glaceon

"Alright guys, Serena and Toadette are locked in, and we're on."

Team A felt a little out of place, since they had most of the weaker players in the tribe. Zatanna was their strongest member, and going up against a super hero and a physically fit young man was not going to be easy for her.

– 10 minutes in... –

"Okay, it's been ten minutes in. Glaceon. Issun. Time to drop out, boys."

Both players dropped out of the challenge, leaving more weight for their team mates. The only advantage for Team A was that Toadette was MUCH lighter then Serena. In fact, most of Team A's players were the lighter players.

"Gonna be very fun out here, man!" remarked Hyde, wiping some sweat off his brow.

"We can beat you!" replied Zatanna, chuckling, "Sometimes the turtle can beat the rabbit!"

Orbb's legs were wobbling as it struggled to hold on.

– 20 minutes in... –

"Okay, we're twenty minutes in. Time to drop out Felicia and Orbb."

Both players dropped out, with Felicia and Orbb joining up with Issun and Glaceon. Hyde and Martian Manhunter didn't look all that weak quite yet. Gadget and Zatanna were now starting to struggle.

"I just hope I don't drop out, man," whispered Hyde to Martian Manhunter, "I don't know if I can hold Serena for long. We have the strength, but they have the lighter weight."

Martian Manhunter nodded, keeping focused on the challenge.

– 30 minutes in... –

"Okay, we've reached the thirty minute mark. Martian Manhunter, Gadget, it's time to drop out. It will be down to Steven Hyde and Zatanna Zatera for the rest of the challenge, both fighting for reward."

Martian Manhunter have Hyde another nod, before letting go of the rope. Gadget smiled warmly at Zatanna as she let go, leaving Zatanna and Hyde to battle it out until the end.

"This will surely be the true brains vs brawn." commented Ben.

"Brains don't come out here in play, Tan." snarked Hyde, tightening his grip on the rope supporting Serena in the air.

"Don't get too cocky." smirked Zatanna, knowing she had the lighter player. Still, she was thinking about what Serena told her, and the clues she was given. She considered throwing it, and pray she was picked.

– 40 minutes in... –

Both Hyde and Zatanna were holding on for dear life, with Hyde holding up a lot of weight, but having a lot more strength, and Zatanna holding up a little bit of weight, but being weaker then Hyde.

In the end...

...Zatanna let go of the rope, unable to continue.

"Zatanna drops out. HYDE WINS REWARD FOR HIMSELF, J'ONN, SERENA, GLACEON, AND FELICIA!"

All of Hyde's team mates hugged and cheered for him.

"Great job and great efforts to Team B. You certainly had a handicap having a heavier player to hold up compared to Team A, but in the end, you managed to outlast Zatanna and her players. As a result, the five of you will be enjoying a plane ride, a built in water slide, and a picnic lunch. Before you go, someone needs to go to Exile Island. Who will it be?"

After some thought and persuasion...

"Zatanna, Ben." confirmed Serena.

Zatanna nodded, keeping her smile to herself as she took a map from Ben.

"Zatanna will return in time for the upcoming immunity challenge. In the meanwhile, J'onn, Hyde, Serena, Felicia, and Glaceon? You will be enjoying a great reward. Plane will arrive to pick you up soon. For the rest of you, got nothing to say, so head on back to camp, and I'll see you all at the immunity challenge, folks."

– – – – –

Exile Island Night 25

Zatanna arrived back on Exile Island, and took the clue given to her there. Last time she found the idol with Orbb's help. This time, she was entirely on her own.

"Orbb and I bonded when we searched for the hidden immunity idol together, and while that idol didn't do what I had originally intended, thanks to Trevor, I feel like I wouldn't of found it without its help. Now, I need to remain calm, and find that idol." - Zatanna

Zatanna grabbed the shovel, and started to follow the clue given to her by Serena, and the clue she got today. She barely remembered when Serena told her about the first clue she got.

"Okay, so... ten steps forward from the forked tree... yep, definitely not where the first idol was hidden..." noted Zatanna to herself.

After following the new clue a little bit more, she placed the shovel in between two trees, one of them being the forked tree.

"If this idol isn't here... then I either messed up, or Hyde took the one here." commented Zatanna, before beginning to dig in that location.

Digging and digging...

….moving rocks and twigs...

….until...

"Yes! Aha!" cheered Zatanna, pulling out a wrapped object; the second hidden immunity idol. Her second one of the season.

"Not many players get two idols in one season, but I'm just one of those players, I suppose. So let's recap... two visits to Exile Island... two idols found. I'm either just lucky or... just working hard to stay in this game." - Zatanna

– – – – –

Reward Day 26

The five reward winners boarded the plane, and made their way to the location of the water slide.

"I keep imagining myself on a magnificent jet plane as I become a Broadway music star! I can see the paparazzi, the fans, the autographs, and all the model shoots in the world! Of course, it's still a work in progress, but I can wait!" - Felicia

"It was amazing to see the breath taking views of Singapore as the plane flew through the sky. It's completely different to the landscape of Kalos, I'll say that much, but it's just as beautiful too. I'm really glad I got to go on this reward." - Serena

Eventually, the plane landed, and dropped off the winners. Before them was a water slide built near a waterfall and a picnic basket nearby.

"First one to the slide is a rotten egg!" giggled Felicia, dashing off towards the water slide, and belly flopping down it and into the water.

Hyde chased after her, "And that won't be me!" And he followed suit down the slide. Martian Manhunter, Glaceon, and Serena didn't join them right away, as they wanted to eat before play.

Martian Manhunter grabbed a sandwich, and flew up into the sky to take in the beautiful view of Singapore, leaving Serena and Glaceon by themselves.

Knowing this was the best time to bring up the plan to him, Serena spoke up quietly to Glaceon, "I think it's time to make a power move at the next vote."

"What you mean?" asked Glaceon. Serena proceeded to tell him everything Zatanna, her, and Martian Manhunter spoke about.

"Serena's been a little on and off about making big moves, so I'm not too convinced she's totally going along with the plan J'onn and Zatanna offered. I think it's the only chance we got to make a bold move, and I think we should take it." - Glaceon

Glaceon nodded, eating his sandwich quietly, "I think it's a good plan, Serena. Final 4, you and me, J'onn and Zatanna. It would be a fair fight, and if that doesn't settle well with you... we could bring in Toadette and take her to the Final 3."

Serena sighed, "I just don't trust Issun at all... he's ready to send me out the door the minute he gets a reason to do so in order to get votes."

"From what you're telling me, I think they have Issun under control," replied Glaceon, "So don't panic, okay? You're fine... I'm fine... we'll be in the Final 6 if it all works out."

"Okay.. you're the only one I trust 100% Glaceon," smiled Serena, "As long as you and I stick together, we can't lose this."

Glaceon nodded, smiling warmly, and he shook her hand firmly.

"Glaceon's my only true ally in the game, but I am willing to trust J'onn and Zatanna right now in order to take control of this game. Hopefully Zatanna does get the idol, and it'll give us a little more of an edge." - Serena

Meanwhile, down in the water fall, Felicia looked over at Hyde, "Umm.. quick question, was it wrong to agree on Zatanna?"

"Hmm? Going to Exile?" replied Hyde, before shaking his head, "Nah, man. I doubt she'd find two in a row."

"I was hesitant on sending Zatanna, but the more I thought about it, it just settled well with me. She can't find an idol back to back after already having gotten one. It's unheard of, man. There is a second idol there, but I doubt she'll find it." - Hyde

– – – – –

Jiamaoru Day 26

Issun and Toadette were talking to one another in the shelter, planning ahead for the next vote.

"We have it totally under control," explained Toadette, "Hopefully Zatanna finds the idol, and then you, me, her, and J'onn will take control and eliminate a huge competitor."

Issun nodded, "That's pretty sweet! Are you sure they have our backs? I just don't feel 100% comfortable, especially after being lied to about the Deadpool vote."

"I don't exactly trust anyone right now, outside of Toadette. She can say we have a good deal with Zatanna and Martian Manhunter, but at the same time, they promised us safety last time, and Deadpool got blindsided. So whatever, I don't feel safe no matter what." - Issun

Toadette shrugged, "They have to make a move eventually... and I think they're pretty sincere this time."

"Again, hard to believe, babe." sighed Issun.

"You have to trust me on this one, Issun," pouted Toadette, "The four of us are together, and if Zatanna has the idol, I think she WILL use the idol to save you. Okay? Just trust me."

"...Fine. I can't deny it sounds enticing, but... won't get my hopes up." replied Issun.

"Hopefully Issun will be back on his feet, and ready for anything after the next vote. Because I'm hoping to shock everybody with this move. Nobody seems to be expecting it, and probably not predicting that I'm one of the key players leading the charge!" - Toadette

Meanwhile, in the boat, Gadget and Orbb were busy fishing for lunch. She had just finished telling it about the plan to bring in Toadette after booting Issun.

"Sounds good to me," agreed Orbb, "I just hope we can trust her. After all we never were close to her."

"Felicia was," replied Gadget, "And as long as Felicia keeps her under wraps, the five of us have a clear spot to the end."

"Right now, there isn't much to worry about. For one, Issun's on the block, and many are ready to see him go. He's been lucky to make it to the Top 10. Golly, probably even the luckiest Survivor ever. Then, once he's gone, we'll pull in Toadette, and go from there." - Gadget

"Okay then. Who would be the first to go after Issun?" asked Orbb.

"Probably Martian Manhunter for being the biggest threat of the other four, or Serena for being a little untrustworthy. I think we'll save Glaceon or Zatanna for last, depending on who's more of a threat in competitions." explained Gadget.

Orbb nodded its eyeball, "I would like to keep Zatanna for last. We did make a deal while on Exile Island, and I would like to honor it."

"I helped Zatanna find the hidden immunity idol before the merge. Without me, she probably wouldn't of made the merge in the first place. I'm not saying we should go to the Final 3 together... just saying that she should go farther then the others." - Orbb

"We'll see what happens, Orbb. No promises though." replied Gadget, smiling at it as she reeled in a fish.

Orbb nodded, and continued to focus on fishing.

"I'm lucky to have gotten this far into the game. I've got a great alliance, have some perfect side allies to rely on just in case, and I have the brains to back me up in challenges. Overall... I'd say I have a fair shot to win this whole thing if I keep this up." - Orbb

– – – – –

"Come on in you guys!"

The remaining players arrived at the challenge area.

"We'll now bring in Zatanna, returning from Exile Island, as well as the reward winners, returning from their reward."

All six players arrived and stepped onto the big brown mat.

"Guys ready for today's immunity challenge?"

Everyone nodded excitedly.

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

Gadget did so.

"For today's challenge, you will each earn a stone which you will use in a slingshot to break a tile. Each of you has three tiles, but only one shot. For every tile broken, that player will receive one arrow to be used in the final round. So you can go from having 1 arrow, to 2 arrows, or even all three arrows. In the final round, the person closest to the center of the target wins immunity, and is safe from the vote. Losers, after 27 days, someone will be going home. Let's get started, okay?"

Everyone grabbed a stone and a slingshot, and awaited Ben's command.

"Survivors ready? GO!"

Felicia hit Toadette's first tile. Toadette earns one arrow.

Gadget hit Glaceon's first tile. Glaceon earns one arrow.

Glaceon hit Issun's first tile. Issun earns one arrow.

Hyde hit Orbb's first tile. Orbb earns one arrow.

Issun hit Martian Manhunter's first tile. Martian Manhunter earns one arrow.

Martian Manhunter hits Orbb's second tile. Orbb earns a second arrow.

Orbb hits Glaceon's second tile. Glaceon earns a second arrow.

Serena hits Orbb's third and final tile. Orbb now has all three arrows for the final round.

Toadette hits Gadget's first tile. Gadget earns one arrow.

Zatanna hits Serena's first tile. Serena earns one arrow.

"Okay, Gadget, Issun, J'onn, Serena, and Toadette each have one arrow. Glaceon has two arrows, while Orbb was lucky to earn all three arrows. Felicia, Zatanna, and Hyde were not hit during the challenge, and are out of the challenge."

Hyde, Zatanna, and Felicia all sat down near Ben, a tad disappointed.

"Okay, we'll start with Gadget. Here's how the final round works. You must hit the closest to the center of the target. Black is bulls eye, followed by red, orange, yellow, green, and blue is the worst you can score. Go ahead Gadget."

Gadget aimed her shot, and it landed in the green area.

"Gadget holds the record right now in the green area. Glaceon, you're up."

Glaceon aimed his arrow, and it landed in the same area as Gadget.

"On closer inspection, Gadget is still the closest. Glaceon still has one more shot left, but his turn will wait until everyone else has gone. Issun."

Issun aimed his shot, and he bested Gadget, landing in the orange area.

"Issun takes the lead, and eliminates Gadget from the competition. Martian Manhunter is up to shoot!"

Martian Manhunter threw the competition, and landed his arrow in the green area.

"J'onn is out of the challenge, Issun still has the mark to beat. Orbb is up next."

Orbb has three shots, so he did have room for error. His shot landed in the orange area.

"On closer inspection... Issun still has the closest mark! Orbb still has two shots left, his turn will wait. Next up, Serena."

Serena aimed her shot, and it landed in the yellow area.

"Serena didn't make the target, and she's out of the competition. Next up, Toadette!"

Toadette aimed her shot, and took precise aim before letting go. Her arrow landed in the orange area.

"Wow! Toadette bests Issun just barely! Toadette takes the lead, and Issun is out of the competition. Comes down to three more shots. 1 from Glaceon, and 2 from Orbb. Glaceon, take your last shot."

Glaceon didn't want to win the challenge, and knowing that Toadette had the best mark, he mis-aimed his shot, landing in the blue.

"Glaceon messes up, and he's out of the challenge. Down to Orbb and Orbb alone. Go ahead."

Orbb took a deep breath, and aimed its shot. It landed in the green area.

"Ooh, not good. Okay, Orbb, don't panic, just one more shot left. You need to be in the red or black area, or just inside Toadette's hit. Otherwise, she wins immunity. Lots of pressure."

Orbb blinked, and aimed his shot one more time...

...and it landed in the green again.

"Not good enough. That means TOADETTE WINS IMMUNITY!"

Everyone clapped and cheered for Toadette.

"Great job today! You certainly proved a lot wrong today that even though you're the youngest one out here, you're still a viable competitor and are here to win a million dollars. You now have a 1 in 9 shot of winning this game. As for the rest of you, somebody will be going home and joining the jury. See you all tonight, guys."

– – – – –

Jiamaoru Day 27

After Toadette won the immunity challenge, Serena, Glaceon, Martian Manhunter, and Zatanna all spoke in the forest away from everyone else.

"I'm so glad she won immunity today," explained Zatanna, "Since she has it, there's more of a chance we can get one of those four out tonight. Question is... who?"

"We can't do Hyde, since he has the idol, most likely. That would be the easy choice, and he will just easily pass it along to someone else if he did have it. We need to make someone else the target." replied Martian Manhunter.

"I agree with you on that." nodded Serena.

"Hyde is the biggest threat right now, but we have a suspicion he has the hidden immunity idol. Knowing that if we blindside him, and he goes home, he'll easily just hand the idol to someone else. We know he has it, that means we can keep tabs on him." - Serena

"If that's the case," replied Zatanna, "Who do we vote? I would say Gadget or Felicia, they're his biggest allies. Orbb's just the side guy. That much is obvious."

Serena shook her head, "Orbb can't be trusted. I think he's playing both sides of the tribe, and I think... making him the target isn't so bad. That would be out of nowhere."

Martian Manhunter thought about it, and then nodded, "Doesn't sound that bad of a deal. Not to mention if they somehow catch wind of this strategy... they will not use an idol on him."

"Serena brought up voting out Orbb tonight, and after thinking about it, it made plenty sense. He is the least likely player to get a hidden immunity idol from Hyde... and he would be an out of nowhere choice to shock them." - Martian Manhunter

"I'm down for that." nodded Glaceon, "How do we tell Issun and Toadette?"

"I think Zatanna will tell Toadette, and she will tell Issun. Again, I don't want Issun thinking I'm in this for my own safety. Please understand." replied Serena.

Zatanna sighed, and nodded, "Yeah, just leave it to me, guys. I'm down for it."

"I don't really want to vote off Orbb. I mean, it gave me the idol practically, and I owe him a lot in this game. Voting him off would pretty much lose his vote if I make it to the end. We're at the point where one wrong move could cost you a million dollars." - Zatanna

After agreeing to the plan, the four players split off to go do different things, with Zatanna going off to tell Toadette everything she needed to know.

The main Maochong alliance was talking to one another in the shelter, planning for the night.

"Issun tonight?" asked Orbb.

Gadget nodded, "Pretty much. I mean, I think he's overstayed his welcome, don't you think?"

"Yeah, he has. I mean, like, he's gotten a lot better! But... he's still only here by chance." agreed Felicia.

"Issun has gotten a lot better since the beginning, but it's his time to go. He doesn't deserve to be here because he's been given a ride all the way here, and I think it's time that ride kicked him off at the jury house." - Felicia

"I think we got the numbers man," replied Hyde, "But if I catch word we're in trouble, we'll have to pull out the idol. I hope we don't. I mean.. I don't expect the big moves to pile in until Issun's out the door."

"Yeah, I agree with you on that." nodded Orbb.

"Tonight, we're voting off Issun. Pretty simple vote, but it'll be the last one we'll have for a long time. Because I'm expecting this game to turn ugly quickly after he's gone. And golly, I hope I'm not caught in that mess." - Gadget

Minutes before the tribe left for tribal council, Serena and Zatanna were talking about the vote.

"How comfortable are you about keeping Issun tonight?" asked Zatanna.

"Not very comfortable," sighed Serena, "I mean, yeah, we'll be getting rid of someone strong from the majority alliance. But like.. Issun is still in the game, and completely gunning for me."

"Issun is the target tonight for Maochong, and like... I do have a chance to eliminate him if I so want. Zatanna is also iffy about voting off Orbb, since she owes it a lot for helping her finding the idol." - Serena

"You know.. it's not like we're totally screwed if Issun goes home tonight," smirked Zatanna, taking off her top hat, and pulling out her hidden immunity idol, "I'm only going to tell you and J'onn. No one else."

Serena smirked, and high fived Zatanna, "Awesome! That's great news, Zatanna!"

"You know... we should form a partner ship to the end," suggested Zatanna, "I would love for the Final 3 to include both of us. What do you say to that?"

"Totally yes!" agreed Serena, shaking her head, "And like... I know this sounds goofy, but we should have like a nickname for our partnership. Like... Nikennef!"

Zatanna didn't understand the reference, but then got it and nodded her head, "Ah... and no worries, not goofy at all."

"Serena is a highly intelligent woman, and she's also young too, like myself. Tonight, doesn't matter who goes. Orbb could go, or we can flip the script and just send Issun home. We have the idol. We can lose Issun if we want. Just a friendly reminder that we will have Nikennef branded on tonight's vote." (She giggles) "Just saying." - Zatanna

After agreeing on a target, the tribe left for tribal council.

– – – – –

The Jiamaoru tribe arrived at tribal council.

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

"Trevor,"

Trevor was wearing womens clothing, and looked clearly drunk from the previous night.

"And Deadpool, voted out at the last tribal council."

Deadpool had a dirty white shirt, and blue jeans over his red and black outfit. He was cosplaying as Trevor.

"So the last two tribal councils sent home two members of the former Ruchong tribe. Now there's only two left, and my guess is that they're staying. Toadette, are my guesses true or false?" asked Ben.

"I think they're pretty true, Ben. I mean, it's been me and Issun on the block since the merge, and since Trevor and Deadpool are gone, I think we're next." replied Toadette.

Issun nodded, glumly.

"Glaceon, I'm assuming that if nothing has changed tonight, that it will be Issun going home tonight, since Toadette has immunity?" asked Ben.

Glaceon nodded.

"Pretty much yeah. I mean, no offense Issun, but you've been so lucky this entire game. The luck has to run out eventually." replied Glaceon.

Issun rolled his eyes, but knew it was true.

"Orbb, has there been talk about the hidden immunity idol since the merge?" asked Ben.

"There has been back and forth talk, of course. I mean, it's a constant thought on everyone's mind. If it's not on your mind, you need to get a reality check in the game." replied Orbb.

"Gadget, being one of the more intelligent players left in the game, when do you think the game will begin to twist and turn?" asked Ben.

Gadget thought about it.

"Golly Ben, you got to give us the hard questions now. But um... I think it'll be after this vote. We're getting close to the 30 day mark, and that's when the game gets serious." replied Gadget.

"Issun, if you go home tonight, what advice do you give Toadette?" asked Ben.

"I'd rather not say anything Ben. Let's just get tonight over with." replied Issun.

"Well okay then. With that said, it's time to vote. Serena, you're up first."

– – –

Felicia's Vote: It has to be this way. The ride is over, Issun! (Issun)

Hyde's Vote: Never liked you once. Don't like you now. Buh bye. (Issun)

Issun's Vote: Hah! I totally faked my emotions tonight. Finally, you're going home, and Shuichi will be avenged. (Orbb)

Serena's Vote: It has to be this way, no hard feelings, just better for my game if you leave. (?_

– – –

"Okay, if anyone does have the hidden immunity idol and you would like to play it, now would be the time to do so."

No one did anything.

"Okay then, once the votes are read, the decision is final, person voted out must leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes."

First vote, Orbb. (It nodded, not surprised.)

Orbb. Two votes Orbb.

Issun. One vote Issun, two votes Orbb.

Issun. Tied two votes Issun, two votes Orbb. (He nodded, shrugging in defeat, still putting on a show.)

Issun. Three votes Issun, two votes Orbb.

Issun. That's four votes for Issun, two votes for Orbb. (He looked over at the other players, crossing his fingers.)

Orbb. That's three votes Orbb, four votes Issun. (This was when eyebrows raised.)

Orbb. Tied again, four votes Orbb, four votes Issun. ('Whoa now.. what?' remarked Hyde, confused.)

Orbb. That's five votes Orbb, four votes Issun, one vote left. (Orbb shook its eyeball in defeat.)

Eleventh person voted out of Survivor Singapore, and the third member of our jury, Orbb. That's six, and that's all we need. You need to bring me your torch.

Orbb was in complete shock, as well as the rest of his alliance. Gadget was trying to add up what went wrong as Orbb gave up its torch.

"Orbb, the tribe has spoken."

He snuffed out its torch.

"Time for you to go."

Orbb nodded, and walked out of the tribal council area without much left to say.

"As I predicted... blindside and a Maochong boot. That's why I call myself the Asian Surpreme. I'm just that good at Survivor predicting. Eh whatever, that was a poor way to end tribal council. Regardless, how will Orbb's blindside impact the game? We'll see soon enough. Grab your torches, and head on out. Good night."

– – – – –

Orbb's Final Words

"I will say I did not see this one coming from a mile away. I felt comfortable, and just as they say... get comfortable one time in this game, you'll soon find yourself gone from the game. I do feel like I played hard, and fought to be here. I only hope the best for my alliance as they try to dig out of this pickle."

VOTE

Issun – Felicia, Orbb, Hyde, and Gadget

Orbb – Serena, Zatanna, Toadette, Glaceon, Issun, and Martian Manhunter

So now I guess I'm going to reveal the next two members of the Bikal tribe. They are LINK, and DANIELLE!

Link was a fan favorite from Kattlelox Island who fought hard from an ailing Nintendo tribe, and manged to get close to the Final 3. Danielle is one of the sweethearts of the series with a heart of gold, and a perky, peppy attitude about life.
