36 days ago, 18 video game characters began the adventure of a lifetime. They were separated into three tribes based on their origins; Nintendo, Sega, and Capcom. They would be stranded in Kattlelox Island, home of Mega Man Volnutt.
The Nintendo tribe followed under the lead of Bowser, who was not making life easy for those he cared little for. He made an alliance with Link and Marth, and easily took out the weakest link, Pichu. Rosalina, who was aligned with Pichu, thought it was the end, but Link and Marth promised to take her far into the game, and the next to go was the wild card Falco.
The Capcom tribe was built under the alliance of Phoenix, Mega Man, Amaterasu, and Jill. This left Dante and Morrigan on the outside, and they tried to get them to vote Jill out, seeing her as a threat. In the end, the lazy Dante was voted off. Morrigan was almost the next to go, but when Phoenix caught Jill trying to end the alliance, he easily saved Morrigan, and voted off Jill.
The Sega tribe had a lot of drama in and out of their camp. Vyse, a natural born leader and pirate, made a strong alliance with Wave, Gum, and Reala. This left the mysterious Joe Musashi and annoying Pudding on the outside. However, one of the game's biggest strategical players, Reala, caught onto Vyse's true plans, and managed to flip the entire game on it's end, getting Gum, Musashi, and Pudding on his side, leaving Vyse little clue as to what was really happening.
When a tribe dissolving left the Capcom tribe no more, Phoenix, Amaterasu, and Mega Man joined Nintendo, while Morrigan was left as the sole member for Sega. Reala quickly got Morrigan on his side, and together with his new alliance, he managed to get Vyse out once and for all, leaving a shocked Wave by herself and questioning her loyalty to Sega.
The main alliance almost took a beating, when Pudding selfishly quit the game, wanting to beat her rival, Ulala, and get a nice vacation.
The new Nintendo tribe was paired off four against three, but when Bowser was sent to Exile Island, a new alliance was born; the Captendo 5. Leaving it up to fate, the purple rock sent Mega Man out of the game, while a new alliance consisting of Phoenix, Link, Marth, Rosalina, and Amaterasu was born. They wanted to throw a challenge in order to eliminate Bowser, but afraid of Sega's numbers, they chose not to, and Sega eliminated the lonely Wave.
On Day 20, the two tribes merged into one; the black Segcomendo tribe. With six Nintendos taking on four Segas, it seemed like a forgone conclusion for Sega. However, Bowser didn't see that Phoenix and Amaterasu were on their side, and foolishly aligned with Sega to eliminate them, despite Link, Marth, and Rosalina's wishes. With Joe Musashi using a hidden immunity idol to save Gum, Phoenix was blindsided and sent to the jury.
However, with Amaterasu willing to jump ship, the Sega alliance saw no need to keep Bowser's word any longer, and started to systematically pick off the Nintendos one by one. Rosalina, Marth, and Bowser all met their untimely fates, leaving Link by himself.
Link, however, had some signs of survival. First, he found the hidden immunity idol, and there was a plan hatched by Musashi and Reala to blindside Gum who they saw as a potential jury threat, but Link knew little of it.
Last episode, as part of the plan, Amaterasu proposed a Final 3 deal with Link that would also include Morrigan. Link trusted Amaterasu, but not Morrigan, and made a plan to find a way to trust her, and vice versa.
At the reward challenge, Morrigan easily won, and took Reala with her on reward. Amaterasu also used her reward card. On reward, they spent time with their loved ones. On Exile Island, Gum was given a similar reward, meeting up with her boyfriend Beat, who was also the winner of Survivor SEGA All Stars.
At the immunity challenge, Link edged out Gum and Reala to win immunity and guarantee a spot in the Final 5. With Reala and Musashi's counter vote slightly ruined, they needed a back up.
Not trusting Amaterasu, they, along with Gum, agreed to vote for Morrigan, and try to get her to get Link's immunity idol in some shape or form. Much to Morrigan's surprise, Link was willing to hand her the idol as a form of trust, believing that Gum was leaving in a 5-1 vote, and there was no need to use it. Amaterasu considered trying to stop Link, but figured it was too late.
At tribal council, Link snuck Morrigan the idol, but Morrigan used it to get rid of it for good. To Link and Amaterasu's surprise it was a 3-3 vote, but Morrigan's canceled out votes caused Gum to get the boot instead.
Now, only 5 remain!
Reala.
Joe Musashi.
Link.
Morrigan.
And Amaterasu.
Tonight they will compete in their final immunity challenges. Three will move on to face the jury, but only one will outlast all the rest and become the Sole Survivor!
Final 5: Amaterasu, Joe Musashi, Link, Morrigan, and Reala
Jury: Wave, Phoenix, Rosalina, Marth, Bowser, and Gum
– – – – –
Segcomendo Day 37
After a successful blindside of his former ally, and seemingly without her really knowing, Reala felt accomplished with what he's done.
"Gum was going to be a threat to win... everyone wants the good guys to win. This time, they won't be so lucky." (snickers) "Once Amaterasu and Link are gone, I believe this game will be mine once and for all... but it's not over yet. There is still work to be done." - Reala
Link, meanwhile, was greatly confused over the whole vote. He gave his idol to Morrigan, she used it against his will, and she was spared a tiebreaker against Gum.
"Last night... either I got played, or Morrigan knew more then I did, because she saved herself the trouble of doing a tiebreaker against Gum. But... regardless what her intention was, I'm idol-less, no trust in anyone... I can only really win immunity to guarantee my safety." - Link
As he sat down by the sidelines, sharpening the red machete whilst everyone was napping, including Reala, Amaterasu came over to talk to him. Issun bounced over in front of him.
"Link, we're really sorry... we wanted to warn you, but... we knew it was too late, ya see!" said Issun, explaining himself from Amaterasu's view.
Link shook his head, "I wish you did... I mean... I thought it was 5-1 for Gum, not 3-3?"
Amaterasu barked, with Issun shaking his head, "We didn't either! We were told everyone was voting Gum. Did they... I mean... Morrigan knows more then she let on!"
"We knew Link was going to get played, right Ammy? But what did Morrigan not tell us?" (Amaterasu barked before growling.) "That sexy rotten bitch! We knew she was going to play Link, and we let her get away with it. Well... our fault, Ammy." - Amaterasu via Issun
Issun explained a little bit more, even telling Link that Morrigan had zero interest in working with them to the end.
"She's greedy, that's what she is." explained Link, shaking his head, "That's why she sold you and Phoenix out at the merge. She wants to go to the end and win, thinking she can beat Reala and Musashi."
"With that kind of attitude she won't win period!" snapped Issun.
"It's cool if you want to win the way you want to. It's another thing to get someone's hopes up and only dash them moments later. For me, that's not cool. I genuinely trusted Morrigan, and she let me down after coming off so nicely to me. She will have to work extra hard to earn my vote, if she makes it." - Link
"I'm gonna have a talk with her later today," explained Link, placing the machete to the side, "With any luck, we can get her back on board, and surprise Reala and Joe with something of our own."
Amaterasu barked happily, wagging her tail. Issun just nodded, "Ammy likes that idea, but I ain't too keen on it. Just do what you have to do, okay? At this point, I think it's you and her walking out one by one."
Link nodded, and left to go do something else, a mission on his mind.
– – – – –
Segcomendo Day 37
Everyone by this point was up and about, preparing for the immunity challenge later today. Link went up to the pool where Morrigan was relaxing.
"Hey, Morrigan, mind if we have a talk?" asked Link.
Morrigan shrugged, "Sure, why not. Figured you have a lot to say after last night.."
"Heehee... last night worked as planned. Link no longer has his idol, Gum is gone, and I have a guaranteed spot in the Final 3 with Reala and Musashi. At this point, I could care less what Link does, because as long as he doesn't win immunity, he's going home." - Morrigan
Link nodded, slipping into the pool with Morrigan, "Yeah... did you know you were in trouble? Or is there something I don't know?"
Morrigan smirked, "I knew I was in trouble... and even if I wasn't... I would use it anyway. Your own fault, Link."
Link blinked, "What are you saying?"
"Why did you even consider trusting anyone with your idol," asked Morrigan, rolling her eyes, "It's your own fault for trusting me... you were a mere pawn in Reala's plan."
"Reala's plan?" wondered Link.
"Just like I expected, Morrigan was greedy, and basically used my idol to ensure that I no longer had it, and only helped in... what I learned today was Reala's plan to blindside Gum. Honestly, I feel used, and it hurts. It hurts to be used and to have your entire game trashed in mere moments." - Link
Morrigan shrugged, but didn't respond. Link spoke back up, "So you're saying Reala told you what to do?"
Morrigan shrugged again, "He might of. He might not of. Why does that matter?"
"Because if he did, that means you can't think for yourself, and he deserves all the credit." replied Link, shrugging.
Morrigan glared at him, before shaking her head, "Just know this Link, you and Amaterasu need to win immunity. Otherwise you're both going home. It's too obvious at this point. You were just slow in realizing that. You're so naïve."
Link rolled his eyes, and climbed out of the pool, "Fine. Have it your way then. When you aren't sitting on Day 39 with a million dollars, you'll look back on this, and say 'Wow, I messed up'." With that said, he left back to camp.
"Link can say what he wants. Even if that's one vote against me, I can still get more. People know how much of a snake Reala is, and how quiet Joe Musashi is. I've fought to the bone to stay here, and if I don't get awarded for that, I will be furious." - Morrigan
Back at camp, Joe Musashi was by himself, eating a bowl of rice. He was by himself, yet he still spoke out loud.
"There is no room for error. We must defeat Link today." said Joe Musashi, looking down at the red pot boiling the rice.
A voice perked up, "Perhaps if you stopped throwing challenges, you'd win."
Joe Musashi nodded, "True enough. You are correct... Reala."
"This next immunity is important for the alliance. We cannot let Link win this one. If he does, we will need a quick back up plan. There is no room for error. If Link wins the last two challenges, he will win the game, very easily." - Joe Musashi
– – – – –
"Come on in guys!"
The remaining players arrived at the challenge area.
"Guy's ready for today's immunity challenge?"
Everyone nodded excitedly.
"I'll take back immunity from you, Link."
Link did so.
"For today's challenge, it's a simple one. You will be doing a word search on a chalkboard. On the board are eighteen names of all eighteen players who competed this season. Each board is large, and unique, so finding each name will be time consuming. Once you find all the names, you must then find the secret word using the intersecting letters. First person to get that word right, wins immunity, and has a spot waiting for them in the Final 4. Let's get started."
Everyone was assigned a station and awaited Jeff's orders.
"Survivors ready? GO!"

It came down to Joe Musashi and Link as to who would find the mystery word first, and in the end...
…
…
…
"I have it." called Joe Musashi, stepping back. Jeff ran over to check it, while Link started to panic.
"Immunity is the word, and immunity you have won! JOE MUSASHI WINS IMMUNITY, GUARANTEED A SPOT IN THE FINAL 4!"
Everyone cheered and clapped for Joe Musashi.
"When you need it, you certainly deserve it. Musashi is safe from the vote, and will be going to the Final 4. Link, Amaterasu, Reala, Morrigan. One of you is going home tonight. See you all then."
– – – – –
Segcomendo Day 37
Upon returning from the immunity challenge, Link was in the shelter, packing up his things. Without an idol to use, he knew he was pretty much toast.
"Man.. I was this close to getting to at least fourth place." (sighs deeply) "At least I can say I made it farther then any other Nintendo player, which is something to be proud of. I'm still going to fight to stay, but I don't see myself staying tonight." - Link
Amaterasu walked up to him, whining softly, with Issun saying, "Well... what do we do now? Ammy won't write your name down, so..."
Link shrugged, "I'm gonna try and get Morrigan out. If Reala and Musashi see how greedy she is, maybe there's a slim hope they'll vote her off."
Amaterasu barked in agreement, with Issun replying, "It's a long shot, but it might just work."
"I'll say it. Morrigan's a hot babe with big boobs. And... that's the only reason why I would keep her around. But it ain't my game! It's Ammy's!" (Amaterasu barks, nodding.) "Yuppers! So she's gonna stick by Link's side. I don't know if they think we're still with them or not... but who cares? If Link goes tonight, we're next without immunity." - Amaterasu via Issun
"I would try and gun for Reala," said Link, "But I think he's using his idol tonight, so there's no point in targeting him."
Amaterasu nodded in agreement. Link patted her head softly, smiling, "If I go tonight, please try your hardest to win. Everyone on the jury, no doubt, will be rooting for you."
Amaterasu barked happily, wagging her tail. Issun saluted Link, "Will do!"
"I think the jury is going to be looking for a winner that played the best game. If Ammy or I don't make it, there's not really a 'good' person in the bunch, socially. The villains dominated this season, and not the heroes. Not fun for me." - Link
Link noticed Morrigan was off on her own, relaxing in the pool, clearly feeling comfortable. He rolled his eyes, and walked into the jungle. He noticed Reala and Joe Musashi out there, and approached them.
"Look guys... it might be my last night, but I gotta make my case, if that's all right?" began Link.
Reala shrugged, "Might as well.. I have the time to listen."
"Tonight, Link is going home, and he has no shot of changing anyone's mind. Call it whatever you will... but I'm not taking my hidden immunity idol with me tonight... it'll be a nice way to remember this experience, win or lose." - Reala
"Morrigan had her chance to flip," explained Link, "But she's only going with you guys because she thinks she can beat you. That's what I sense. She cares little about you, and only wants the money."
Reala nodded, turning his head to look at Joe Musashi, who calmly just shrugged. Reala spoke up, "It is rather surprising you try to arrange Morrigan's ouster... shouldn't you be going to her, rather?"
Link shook his head, "After what she did... or rather what you told her to do... I can't trust someone like her. I have to go with the next best option."
"It does not matter how she plays her game," explained Joe Musashi, "But because her actions have benefited those aligned with her, we are grateful."
"It isn't surprising to hear what Link had to say about Morrigan. It is in Morrigan's best interests to go to the end with Reala and myself, because going with Link would ultimately end her game quickly." - Joe Musashi
"I'm just saying... I think you'll make a lot of people happy if you take her out tonight. Regardless, hope everything goes well." smiled Link, before leaving the area.
Reala and Joe Musashi waved him off, and continued doing what they were doing, really not thinking about what Link said.
"The farthest Link can get with his votes is 2. I will not be surprised if Amaterasu joins him, because she's the next to go after he leaves. If either of them make it to the end, they will win hands down. The only way I have a decent shot is if both of them leave." - Reala
– – – – –
The Segcomendo tribe arrived at tribal council.
"We'll now bring in the members of the jury,"
"Wave,"
"Phoenix,"
"Rosalina,"
"Marth,"
"Bowser,"
"And Gum, voted out at the last tribal council."
"Last night a lot of things happened, and it resulted in one of the dominant Sega players leaving the game. Morrigan, there would have been a tie had you not used that idol. Did you know you were in trouble, or just a risky play on your end?" asked Jeff.
"I knew I was in trouble. When the minority wins immunity, you just have to go with your gut, and I was right about my instincts." replied Morrigan.
Link rolled his eyes.
"Joe Musashi, with Gum gone, does it effect how you play the last three days, or will tonight's vote just be a simple pick off of the last Nintendo?" asked Jeff.
"Seems that way, for many. But Survivor is not a game to predict. Survivor is a game where you must think hard about each and every decision. Should we vote Link off..? Or is there an alternative?" replied Joe Musashi.
Link nodded in agreement.
"Link, you seem pretty expressive tonight. If it is your last night, how do you see the Final 4 playing out?" asked Jeff.
"Well... it was a good run of 37 days, and I'd hate for it to end now. But if I go home tonight, if a certain someone doesn't win immunity... they're the next to go. All I'm saying." replied Link.
Amaterasu nodded, looking in his direction.
"Okay, it's time to vote, Reala, you're up."
– – –
Link's Vote: I have nothing to say. You'll have to try really hard to earn my vote if I'm gone. (Morrigan)
Morrigan's Vote: Thank you for the idol, Link... too bad you can't stay a little longer. (Link)
– – –
"If anyone has the hidden immunity idol and you want to play it, tonight is the last time you can do so."
No one did anything.
"Okay, 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, Link. (He nodded.)
…
Morrigan. One vote Link, one vote Morrigan.
…
Link. Two votes Link, one vote Morrigan. (Link sighed, knowing his fate was up.)
…
…
Morrigan. That's two votes Morrigan, two votes Link, one vote left. (Morrigan rolled her eyes, knowing Amaterasu made that vote.)
Fourteenth person voted out of Survivor Kattlelox Island, and the seventh member of our jury...
…
…
…
Link. That's three, it's enough, you need to hand me your torch.
Link nodded, grabbing his things, and giving up his torch, patting Amaterasu on the way over. "Play safe, play fair, think about what I might say on the jury."
"Link, the tribe has spoken."
He snuffed out his torch.
"Time for you to go."
Link nodded, and walked out of the tribal council area.
"The last Nintendo leaves the game, and now we're down to the Final 4. Two Sega... two Capcom... can't get any better then this. Prepare for the final immunity challenge, because it will be a big one. Grab your torches, and head on back. Good night."
– – – – –
Link's Final Words
"I regret a lot of things in this game, but you know what? It's all good. I got pretty far into the game, and fifth place is not that bad of a finish. I just wish things had went a little better for me in the end, because now I have to probably hand a million dollars to a bad guy. Ammy, I'm rooting for you!"
VOTE
Link – Reala, Joe Musashi, and Morrigan
Morrigan – Link and Amaterasu
– – – – –
Segcomendo Day 38
Despite Link getting the boot at the last tribal council, Morrigan was slightly disappointed in Amaterasu for voting against her.
"I didn't expect to see my name written last night, but to see it happen, and twice for that matter didn't sit well with me. Amaterasu's at the bottom, and I don't think she stands a chance to make it to the end, just as long as she doesn't win immunity." - Morrigan
"Was that really needed, Amaterasu? That vote, I mean?" asked Morrigan.
Amaterasu growled a little, with Issun responding, "Ammy wanted to stick with Link and go to the end with you and him. Besides, why stick with a group that's not even going to keep us?"
Morrigan shrugged, "And lose? No thank you."
"Morrigan's turned into a real bitch lately!" (Amaterasu barked, followed by a growl.) "Yeah really! The power's going to her head. She knows she's locked in a spot without Gum around, and we're the cannon fodder just to give them access to the Final 3." - Amaterasu via Issun
"There is no point in arguing about it," interrupted Joe Musashi, "At this point, we made it to Day 38... this is a big accomplishment."
"I guess you're right.." noted Issun, laying down on Amaterasu's nose. Morrigan just shrugged, and sat down by the fire.
A few moments later, Jeff Probst arrived at their camp.
"Anyone home?" he called.
"Oh, fancy meeting you here, Jeffrey," greeted Morrigan, "Would you like a dip in the pool?"
Jeff laughed, "Nah, not right now. Maybe once the game is over, but I have some news to bring you."
"I can only assume the rites of passage, yes?" asked Joe Musashi.
"Exactly my train of thought, Musashi. You will go down the trail, and find the 14 torches of the 14 people voted out. Remember them, and all that good stuff. I'll be waiting for you, and we'll start the final immunity challenge."
Everyone started to walk down the trail.
"Since the beginning, I have been running the show, and that is no understatement. Getting rid of Vyse and Wave was the first big step... and since then I've controlled everything. While I would like to say the game is entirely mine, there is still more left to go. Pleasing the jury is one, and beating Amaterasu in immunity is the other. But... it should only be a matter of time." - Reala
"Being a ninja, I entered this competition studying up on my fellow competitors, and learning their strengths, their weaknesses. Even if I haven't spoken with most of them, I know most about them. Some may call it stalking. I call it studying. A ninja is always ready to tackle any situation head on. If I explain well to the jury if I make it... they might see it my way." - Joe Musashi
"Wow... how far have I really come? Since being at the bottom of the Capcom tribe with Dante, to being in the power position on the Sega tribe. I have come this far into the game, and I am not going out without a fight. I will be leaving here with the million dollars, and probably the biggest underdog story this game has ever seen, in my mind." - Morrigan
"Here we are, Ammy... Day 38. Did you think we would have made it this far?" (Amaterasu barks a little) "Hey! I find that offensive. I am not that annoying... well maybe I am at times. But that's besides the point. This is your game to win, Ammy, you can do it. All we have to do is win one more immunity challenge, and we've got this. No pressure... okay, maybe a lot of pressure." - Amaterasu via Issun
– – – – –
Rites Of Passage
They arrived at the first torch, Pichu's.
Morrigan frowned a little, "Aww... poor thing. I believe she had a lot of spirit."
"The weak do not last long in Survivor," noted Joe Musashi, "She was one of many who couldn't handle it."
They then arrived at Falco's torch.
"Such a brash attitude... glad he didn't stay long." noted Reala.
Joe Musashi nodded, "He was not meant for this game, so it seemed."
They came across Dante's torch.
"He was lazy.. he was obnoxious.. he put little effort into everything." muttered Issun, with Amaterasu barking in agreement.
Morrigan smiled, "Do you see how far I've gotten, Dante? All just for you."
They came across Jill's torch.
"She was too dangerous to keep around. We knew well of that Wesker fellow." noted Morrigan.
Reala shrugged, "She might of been fun to have around... interesting is something I like."
They came to Vyse's torch.
"He was a good pirate," noted Joe Musashi, "But he was not a good leader. Too naïve."
"Vyse knew little about how to play the game... hopefully he's learned from his mistakes." smirked Reala.
They came to Pudding's torch, laying on the ground, as she had quit.
Morrigan laughed a little, "What a child she was. Quite a fitting end for her, I'd say."
"Well, Ammy and I never knew her... but she could tell she was a bitch." shrugged Issun, with Amaterasu agreeing with him.
They came to Mega Man's torch.
"So he was eliminated by the rock?" noted Joe Musashi, "I wonder how things would have ended if he stayed."
"Who knows, but he was one of their strongest. I believe it was good that he was gone then." replied Reala.
They came to Wave's torch.
"Had Wave stayed, she would have no doubt joined your tribe in eliminating the Sega alliance." noted Joe Musashi.
Amaterasu barked, with Issun replying, "Yeah, I know... quite a shame for her. At least she made the jury."
They came to Phoenix's torch.
"Ahh, Phoenix," smiled Issun, with Amaterasu wagging her tail, "He was smart, but a little out there."
Morrigan giggled, "I still say he's the dumbest lawyer ever, though. Just being honest."
Then came Rosalina's torch.
"She was very beautiful, I have to say." smiled Morrigan.
"Rosalina had a certain aspect about her that made her stand out amongst the Nintendos. Hence why we agreed to take her out first." explained Joe Musashi.
They came to Marth's torch.
"He may have offered me a lot of deals... but it's too bad it takes a lot to sell me deals." smirked Reala.
Amaterasu barked, with Issun nodding his head at what Amaterasu said, before blinking, "Wait, Marth's a guy?!"
Bowser's came next.
Reala shook his head, "It is no mystery why Mario defeats him all the time... he's a pathetic villain."
Joe Musashi nodded, "Agreed. Although his leadership is quite remarkable, I must admit."
Then came Gum's torch.
"This vote. This one vote!" exclaimed Issun, "This could have changed the game! Stupid Morrigan..."
Joe Musashi ignored Issun, "This was a calculated move, and I believe it was made at the right time."
Lastly came Link's torch.
"Remember, Ammy... Link wants us to win for him," reminded Issun, bouncing on her head, "Do your best!"
"Well then... good luck with that, Amaterasu." smirked Morrigan.
The Final 4 then arrived at the final challenge.
– – – – –
"Come on in guys!"
The remaining players arrived at the challenge area.
"Guys ready for your final immunity challenge?"
Everyone nodded excitedly.
"I'll take back immunity from you, Musashi."
Joe Musashi did so.
"For your final immunity challenge, you will be tackling a maze. In the maze are four stations with ladder rungs. You must navigate through the maze, and find the four stations containing the ladder rungs. Once you have all four rungs, you must then put them together to build a ladder to the top of the tower. The first person to the top of the tower, wins immunity, and earns themselves a spot in the final tribal council. Losers go to tribal council, vote off the final member of our jury. Let's get started."
Everyone got ready to begin.
"Survivors ready? GO!"
All four players raced out into the maze, all desperate to win this challenge, and walk away with immunity. Especially Amaterasu, who needed to win, or else she knew she was toast. She got off to an amazing start, finding her first ladder rung. Not far behind her were Reala and Morrigan, who also had their first rungs. Joe Musashi was taking wrong turns on purpose.
Reala slowed down a little, taking way too many wrong turns, and decided to trace his steps through the maze. Amaterasu and Morrigan, on the other hand, did not slow down, and were neck and neck as they each found their second ladder rungs, while Musashi finally got his first one.
Both Capcom girls were on a role, both wanted to beat the other, in hopes of surviving this vote, as if one won, the other was probably going home. By this point, they each had three ladder rungs. Reala finally managed to get back on track with his second rung.
When it seemed like there was no stopping Amaterasu, things went a little bad for her. Each time she arrived at a station, it was one she had already been to, making her waste more and more time to find her last rung. Morrigan, on the flip side, had been tracing her steps, and easily found her fourth and final ladder rung. All she had to do now was return to the center, and build her ladder. Reala, meanwhile, found his third rung, and Musashi his second.
Amaterasu heard Jeff call out Morrigan getting her fourth rung, and desperating sprinted around the maze trying to find her final ladder rung. As Reala passed Amaterasu, collecting his final rung, Morrigan made it into the center, and started to assemble her ladder. All Amaterasu could do was listen to Jeff call out every rung Morrigan placed onto the ladder.
"And as Morrigan gracefully climbs to the top, MORRIGAN! WINS THE FINAL IMMUNITY CHALLENGE!"
Everyone clapped and cheered for Morrigan.
"Congratulations, Morrigan! You have won the final immunity challenge, and with this win, you have guaranteed yourself a spot in the final tribal council, and a 1 in 3 chance of winning this game. As for the rest of you, someone is going home, and becoming the eighth and final jury member. See you all tonight."
– – – – –
Segcomendo Day 38
With no shot of safety tonight, Amaterasu pretty much knew her fate was out of her hands. Issun was by her side, and consoled her.
"Hey.. you did your best. That damn maze though... it must of been confusing as hell." frowned Issun.
Amaterasu nodded, whining softly.
"Well, we pretty much know we're going home, I mean... Morrigan's safe. She's the only one who we could potentially get voted out at this point. Can't break Musashi and Reala apart... so... it's out of Ammy's paws tonight." (Amaterasu nodded her head.) "We tried, though." - Amaterasu via Issun
Morrigan passed by her, and looked down at her, "We might have our differences... but I just wanna say, you did well today. You should be proud."
Amaterasu nodded, resting her head against her paws. Issun looked up at Morrigan, "It's all in good spirits."
"Amaterasu put up a good fight in today's immunity challenge, but in the end, I came out victorious, and I'm the one wearing this beautiful necklace tonight. Tonight, little Ammy goes home, and it'll be the end of the game. It's going to be glorious." - Morrigan
Meanwhile, Reala and Joe Musashi were sitting around the fire, doing some small talk.
"I don't know about you," muttered Reala, "But it's been a boring last few days, quite frankly. It was much more fun when you had worthy opponents trying to come after you."
Musashi nodded, "It's what one would expect at this stage in the game. Amaterasu knows she's going, so of course she won't put up a fight."
"After beating both Link and Amaterasu in immunity challenges back to back, they don't have the fight in them to continue, which makes it easy on us to vote them off, but it's not as fun for me. I love a good blindside, and ruining their hopes and dreams in the end." - Reala

The Segcomendo tribe arrived at tribal council.
"We'll now bring in the members of the jury,"
"Wave,"
"Phoenix,"
"Rosalina,"
"Marth,"
"Bowser,"
"Gum,"
"And Link, voted out at the last tribal council."
"So now it's down to four, made up of two Capcoms, and two Segas. Musashi, what are the odds that a tie could potentially occur?" asked Jeff.
"The odds are real, yes. In fact, if a tie were to happen, Reala and I would be at risk of drawing a purple rock, so we are hoping that is not the case tonight." replied Joe Musashi.
"Morrigan, you're safe tonight, so there's no chances of the rock picking you. Do you risk it tonight, or is it so long for Amaterasu?" asked Jeff.
Morrigan shook her head.
"Sadly, it's good bye for Amaterasu. She put up a good fight, but she's scary in front of a jury. Sure, she joined our alliance, turned on her own, but she's still liked. That's something to think about." replied Morrigan.
Amaterasu nodded.
"Okay, it's time to vote, Reala, you're up."
– – –
Morrigan's Vote: You played hard, so good luck. (?)
Reala's Vote: I thank you for flipping over, but your time is done. (Amaterasu)
– – –
"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, Amaterasu. (She nodded. Issun sat on her nose.)
…
Amaterasu. Two votes Amaterasu.
…
Reala. One vote Reala, two votes Amaterasu, one vote left. (He looked over at her, and nodded.)
…
…
Fifteenth person voted out of Survivor Kattlelox Island, and the final member of our jury, Amaterasu. That's three, plenty for tonight, you need to bring me your torch.
Amaterasu nodded, and made a small little howl up to the night sky, grabbing her torch, and bringing it up.
"Amaterasu, the tribe has spoken."
He snuffed out her torch. Issun bounced up on her nose, "Hey, what about me?!"
"Maybe if you apply for the show on your own, I might get to say that to you. Time for you to go."
Issun pouted, laying down on Amaterasu's nose as she ran out of the area.
"Well, congratulations to all three of you; Morrigan, Musashi, Reala. You have gone as far as you can go in this game. The power now shifts to the jury, eight people you have voted out. They now hold your fate in their hands. You have one last night out here on Kattlelox Island. Enjoy it to the best of your ability, get a good night's rest, and I'll see you back here tomorrow night for the final tribal council. Grab your torches, and head on back. Good night."

Amaterasu's Final Words
"I'm proud of you, Ammy! You made it to Day 38! Might not be Day 39, but hey, it's good nonetheless! Survivor was an amazing adventure for us, and even though I didn't get to play the game, it was fun watching Ammy play it! This is Issun the Wandering Artist signing off, good luck to the Final 3!"
VOTE
Amaterasu – Reala, Joe Musashi, and Morrigan
Reala – Amaterasu

Segcomendo Day 39
As soon as the Final 3 arrived back at camp, they started to celebrate.
"Woo hoo!" cheered Morrigan, holding up a bowl of fruit and rice, "A toast to us, for making it to the Final 3, and Day 39!"
Reala and Joe Musashi clinked their bowls against Morrigan's and started to eat their last meal on Kattlelox Island.
"This whole game was just amazing... to start from the bottom, and not only rise from the ashes but gain a position of power? That's just amazing luck right there, and I'm going to prove to the jury that I am a Survivor. They may not like me, but I know they see it how I see it." - Morrigan
"It was fun while it lasted," agreed Joe Musashi, "I believe if not for the three of us working together, we would not be sitting here. I say it was a mission success."
Reala smirked, eating the last of his fruit, "Couldn't of put it any better myself."
"As the game slowly entered the 30 day mark, I stopped hiding in the shadows, and made myself acquainted with the other tribe members. The jury may see me as a follower of Reala, which I was, but we worked together. If not for me, Reala would not be here, and the same applies the other way around." - Joe Musashi
After finishing his meal, he started to pack his things, including the painted objects. Joe Musashi turned around to look at him. Morrigan wasn't paying any attention as she herself was gathering her things. Musashi spoke up in a whisper, "So... are you going to reveal your secret..?"
Reala nodded, "Of course I am. It's about time they learn the truth."
"Aside from Musashi walking in on me... I've managed to keep this secret of mine... a secret!" (smirks evilly) "Usually that's quite difficult to do in Survivor, and I managed it with ease. Once the jury sees how I gained information, and used it to change the game, they will respect how I did it and how I managed to get away with it." - Reala
Once everyone gathered their things, Morrigan powered up one of her many attacks, "Soul Fist!" She threw a shadowy-like fire ball at their shelter, and it slowly disintegrated piece by piece.
"A fitting end to a crazy season." noted Reala, watching the shelter disintegrate.
Morrigan smirked, and nodded, "Well then, shall we be on our way?"
Both Musashi and Reala nodded, and all three players made their way to the final tribal council.
– – – – –
The Segcomendo tribe arrived at tribal council.
"We'll now bring in your jury..."
"Wave,"
"Phoenix,"
"Rosalina,"
"Marth,"
"Bowser,"
"Gum,"
"Link,"
"And Amaterasu, voted out at the last tribal council."
"Welcome to your final tribal council, in which your jury will vote for one of you to be the Sole Survivor, and win 1 million dollars. We'll start out with opening statements. Say what you want, and then the jury will ask you questions or give statements. Morrigan, you can go first." explained Jeff.
"Well, it's certainly a big surprise to be here, honestly, and some of you might even agree. I started from the bottom of the Capcom tribe, and then ended up at the top of a Sega alliance, and the rest is history. What I want to say to you is that I played the game my way. Not Reala's way, not Musashi's way, my way. I got here because of me; Morrigan Aensland. If that costs me your vote, so be it. I believe I made good moves, and I think I deserve to be the winner.." pleaded Morrigan.
"Joe Musashi, you're up next."
"The art of the ninja was never easy to replicate in this game. At the beginning, I was the odd man out. But then Reala and I formed a strong trusting bond, and we worked well together to take control of the Sega tribe. If you think I simply did what Reala said, you'd be mistaken. I do not play someone elses game. The best thing for my game was to study you all, and learn everything I could. That's what being a ninja is all about; knowing your opponent better then you know you." pleaded Joe Musashi.
"Reala, close us up."
"I'm going to start off this debate, and just say that I played like a villain. I won't lie and say I didn't. You see... previous villains come in too strong, and either get blindsided, or get to the end only to be embarrassed. I needed to set a precedent and show them how a good villain would play. For example... you know the weirdly painted machete and pot..?" explained Reala.
Reala then stood up from his seat, and clasped his hands together. In a cloud of red dust and smoke, in his place was the red pot. Everyone, including Jeff, and expect for Musashi, was shocked. The red pot even spoke in Reala's place.
"It took years to master the art of transforming. Every nightmaren learns how in his or her lifetime. Using this tactic, I managed to learn of things that not even I knew of." After saying that, Reala poofed back into his normal self, and sat back down. "Every move I made was calculated, and made with risk. If need be, I will explain more, and... in fact I want you to ask. I'm ready." finished Reala.
"Well, that's probably one of the most interesting opening statements we've had in 22 seasons. In a minute jury, you'll go up and talk to Reala, Musashi, and Morrigan. Think about it for a while."
– – – – –
"Alright jury, it's now time to address the Final 3. We'll start with you, Rosalina."
Rosalina nodded, and floated on up to speak to the finalists.
"It is very nice to see you all after all this time," smiled Rosalina, "Congratulations to all of you. I really do not know how I am voting, so I'm going to ask a simple question. What was the biggest move in the game for you?"
"Biggest move? Voting you off. It was a risk choosing you over the much stronger Link and Marth," explained Reala, "But once we had Amaterasu on our side... we didn't need to rely on Bowser's stupidity any longer. No one saw you as a threat, but ultimately that DID make you a threat."
"It's silly to say, but it was using Link's idol to get Gum out," explained Morrigan, "That easily cemented my slot in the Final 3 with these two. It's an act of deception that I had very little trouble in doing, and I think it helped a lot."
Joe Musashi took some time, "The whole Gum vote was my plan. By setting up a counter vote, and ridding Link of his idol in one full swoop, we managed to take out a series of threats afterwards."
Rosalina nodded, "Thank you all." She smiled before taking her seat.
"Wave."
Wave smirked, walking on up to address the finalists.
"I would say great job, but you know what? None of you deserve a 'great job' or a 'congrats'. You all lied, cheated, and back-stabbed your way through this game," scolded Wave, "I told myself that I wouldn't be voting for a Sega to win, but Morrigan, that doesn't exclude you. Tell me one good reason why I shouldn't vote for you."
Morrigan shrugged, "Because I'm plain and simply a bitch? That's all I got really."
"Good enough for me." shrugged Wave, taking her seat back on the jury.
"Marth."
Marth walked on up to talk to everyone.
"Well Reala, you were certainly an... interesting player to watch this season, both as a player and as a juror. But remember what me and Link said?" said Marth, "About giving you our votes if you made it to the end, and Bowser went out before us? What happened to that?"
"Ah yes... I needed to isolate Link, but I was tempted to vote Bowser out, I really was," replied Reala, "But it was not the right time, you see. Had I kept you and not Bowser, there would be a tighter bond between you two, so I couldn't have that."
Marth nodded, "I see. Morrigan, you made a lot of enemies, and made some Nintendos look like idiots. Maybe not me, but definitely Link and... I think Bowser as well? I'm not too sure. Why should anyone from Nintendo vote for you?"
"Because I was playing for me," explained Morrigan, "You can say all you want that it wasn't nice, or unethical, but it's a game. I made Link look like a dummy, but I did it to advance my game, and purely my game."
"Alright, cool," nodded Marth, "As for you, Musashi, I totally see how you played this game. You certainly have more honor then either of these two, but I sadly cannot give you my vote, since I never got to know you on a personal level. Otherwise it would be a no brainer for me. Sorry."
"Understood." nodded Musashi.
Marth nodded, and took his seat.
"Link."
Link walked up to talk to the finalists, hands on his hips.
"I'm just... I'm kinda shocked that this is our Final 3. Two villains, and the sole ninja who hid for most of the game, and for good reason," began Link, "Morrigan. You lied, you cheated, you gave too many of us big hopes of staying, only to let us down in the end. I want to vote for you, but my gut is telling me no."
Morrigan rolled her eyes.
"Reala, you played a hell of a game. Your ability to get information, and leave us all unaware... you deserve a lot of credit. However, my values and my integrity lead me... not wanting to vote for a villain. But you still have a chance to earn my vote." continued Link.
Reala raised an eyebrow.
"...and that's if Musashi fails my question," said Link, turning to look at Musashi, "Joe Musashi, the famous ninja. I think I was one of many who saw that you were a dominant force in the strategy department. I think you were an amazing duo that worked together really well. My question for you is what is one thing you wish you can change about the game?"
"One thing I would change... that's a difficult question," commented Musashi, "I wish that the Gum blindside didn't need to happen. I planned it all out, but Reala was the one who wanted it to happen. I would have wanted all Segas in the end. Pure unity."
Link nodded, "Alright then. Good luck." He sat back down.
"Gum."
Gum nodded, doing a few spins on her skates as she stood in front of the finalists.
"Wow. Uhh.. I'll start off by saying that you all deserve a congratulations, since you made it to Day 39, and outlasted us all." smiled Gum, "Umm... Reala. First off, give me a good reason to vote for you. Same with you Musashi, because we had an agreement to go to the end together."
"First off," snapped Reala, "There was no agreement to the Final 3 between the Sega tribe. That was all in your head, Gum. It's one thing to assume, but it's another to assume and think it's real without asking."
"Didn't think there was a need to ask." shrugged Gum, "That's all I wanted to hear from you. Musashi, forget answering that. Morrigan, you have a great shot to earn my vote, but... you need to start owning up to anything you've done. You have broken bridges on the jury, girlfriend."
Morrigan nodded slightly as Gum sat back down.
"Bowser."
Bowser grumbled as he stomped up to face them.
"FIRST OFF!" shouted Bowser, clearing his throat before speaking, "I am the true winner of Survivor Kattlelox Island! But since I am not eligible for the prize, that won't happen. THAT'S TOO BAD! REALA, YOU WERE A BACKSTABBING JESTER! MUSASHI, YOU WERE AN INVISIBLE MORON! MORRIGAN, YOU WERE A SLUTTY, SLUTTY WITCH!"
AT this point, everyone was holding down their ears, since Bowser was shouting very loudly.
"So you know what? I ain't even going to question any of you. A number. Between 1-10. Now. Guess my number, or come closest wins my vote." ordered Bowser.
Musashi said 2, Morrigan said 3, and Reala said 8.
Bowser nodded, and stomped back over to the jury seat.
"Amaterasu."
Amaterasu ran up from her seat to address the jury, with Issun proudly bouncing on her muzzle.
She barked quite a few times to make her points, before Issun spoke, "Ammy's proud of all three of you, and heck so am I! So she has a question for all three of you. Two traits that define your game the most. Go!"
"Manipulative, intelligent." replied Reala.
"Beautiful, manipulative." replied Morrigan.
"Honor, loyalty." replied Joe Musashi.
Amaterasu barked in confirmation, and sat back down.
"Phoenix Wright, finish us off."
Phoenix smirked, and walked on up to address the final three.
"It's time for me to shine where I do best, and that's debates!" smirked Phoenix, "Alright. This may not be a courtroom, but I have the stand here. Morrigan let's start with you. You and I had a few... misunderstandings here and there in the 22 days we knew eachother. However, to watch you play the way that you did, making deals only to break them? I need a good explanation."
Morrigan nodded, "Phoenix, you screwed yourself. I had a great opening for you in the Sega alliance. If we stuck together and went with Nintendo, guess what? They'd find a way to get rid of me, and maintain their numbers. You could try all you want, but they'd probably get their way."
"Hmm... true enough. What about the whole deal with Link?" asked Phoenix.
"Link was a bad social move for me, but let's face it, we needed that idol out of his hands, and I needed to do it, or else a tiebreaker would happen," continued Morrigan, "I do not regret it though. I made decisions to benefit me."
Phoenix nodded, "Fair enough. Reala, it's your turn. I have to say, I may have only spent 3 to 4 days with you, I never expected you to actually be getting information the way you did. Give me three prime examples how you used your ability. This could be a million dollar answer. Go."
Reala nodded, "Certainly. Let's see... the first one was learning that Vyse and Wave were planning on replacing me with Pudding in the original Sega alliance. That helped turn the tide quickly. Second? That was learning that Gum was the target when you went home. Without that little tidbit, the game might of changed drastically. As for the third... hmmm... I guess it would be me finding out Link had the idol. He and Bowser were talking, and he told him. Simple as that. I used everything I could to help me and my alliance through this game. It was a villain method, and I will own up to it. I am, after all, playing for your vote."
Phoenix nodded, "Thank you Reala. Thank you Morrigan. Joe Musashi, good luck to you."
He then sat back down.
"Okay, jury. You'll get to vote. You're voting for the person you want to win, not to lose. Time to vote, Wave, you're up."
– – – – –
After the votes were casted.
"Thank you for being here with us. Now I'm gonna return to the states and read these out loud. See you there."
– – – – –
Finally! Survivor Kattlelox Island is all said and done for! We will have a new winner soon! For the first time in a long while, it could be a villain winner. You will have to wait and see in the final votes!
Survivor: Unfinished Business is the next season! Premiere? No idea quite yet, but maybe in a week? We'll see! :D
