Previously on, Survivor,
Bayonetta wanted to make sure the triple idol was no longer in the hands of Frederick and Nah, and created a plan with Tremor, King Dedede, and Sans in order to make it work. She would scare Nah into giving her one of the idols in exchange for Tremor's safety.
Meanwhile, Celeste tried to maintain her old alliance with Toriel and Snap, wanting to distance herself from the pair of Frederick and Nah. Toriel came up with a plan to blindside Nah, and bring Frederick slowly back into the fold. However, Celeste felt a little suspicious, as she didn't think Frederick would like the gesture at all.
At the reward challenge, the team of Bayonetta, Toriel, Trinity, Celeste, and Frederick ended up winning a spa reward. However, Bayonetta gave up her reward to Tremor, as she had plans back at camp to deal with. Snap was sent to Exile Island.
During reward, Celeste and Toriel separated themselves from Tremor and Frederick to talk strategy without them interfering. Celeste still showed concern about the blindside in planning, but Toriel told her not to worry about it, as she believed Frederick would understand.
Back at the Ta Baykor camp, Bayonetta put her plan into effect. She got Nah to make an alliance with her, creating a 6-man alliance between them, Frederick, King Dedede, Sans, and Tremor. This would leave Toriel, Snap, Celeste, and Trinity on the bottom. But in exchange for the alliance, Nah had to allow Bayonetta to unlock the third idol in the triple idol. Meanwhile, Sans continued to scare Bob into thinking he messed up Trinity.
At the immunity challenge, despite Sans efforts to make Trinity fall off the platform, it was to no avail, and Trinity won immunity for the third straight time.
Before tribal council, Sans cooked up another giant scheme, one that he promised would cause megalovania. After telling Bayonetta the plan, he leaked to Celeste, Toriel, and Snap that Nah had a hidden immunity idol, and that she had no idea she was in any danger. Meanwhile, Bayonetta would tell Nah and Frederick that Sans and King Dedede were planning a coupe and would vote Nah off. This would get Nah to play her two triple idols, and expose Sans for the liar that he is. She would hope that it would put all the pressure on Sans, and send him home.
At tribal council, Nah played her two special idols from the triple idol, and used them on herself and her father Frederick. Afterwards, she went on a spiel against Sans, exposing his lies, and telling everyone he was playing both sides of the fence. Sans seemed to not care that much, which is when all hell broke loose.
He would tell everyone that he broke into production camp, and stole personal property of the host. This would be enough to get himself ejected from the game, which in turn nullified both idols played, and wasted. With Sans out of the game, where do Frederick and Nah go from here? And just what the heck is going on with Trinity? 9 are left, who'll be voted out tonight?
Final 9: Bayonetta, Celeste, Frederick, King Dedede, Nah, Snap, Toriel, Tremor, and Trinity
Jury: Papyrus, Lemon, and Sans

Ta Baykor Day 28
As the tribe was returning from tribal council, something odd just happened. One moment, Trinity was still with them, carrying her torch. The next, she completely glitched out and disappeared from the world.
"Uhhh... what the heck just happened with Trinity?" asked Snap, looking around, "I already have a lot of questions tonight, but this is something different. She just disappeared!"
Toriel had noticed it too, "I agree... tonight was not a good night, but now there seems to be more questions then answers to all of this.."
"It wasn't a good night for me. My good friends Sans took himself out of the game... I wouldn't call it an ejection. I call it a quit. He knew what he was doing, and he just wanted to leave. I don't know if he wanted to spite the others... or if he knew he was going, and he didn't want to leave that way." - Toriel
"Well, maybe Bob knows what's going on!" replied Snap, placing his torch with the others, and looking underneath the shelter, "Bob? You ther-" He looked underneath, but he found nobody there, other then the stuff that works with Trinity's amiibo, including the amiibo itself.
"Okay, now this is news to me," noted Snap as he pulled everything out from underneath the shelter, "Uhhh... is this one of those amiibo thingies?"
King Dedede noticed it, "Ahaha! It appears to be a Villager amiibo! I never thought I'd see the day where I would fin- Wait a minute..." The pieces all started to connect to King Dedede, "Trinity was an amiibo!?"
"Today was the most interesting day I've ever been on Survivor! I'll tell you all that much! Not only did Sans create so much chaos in one night, but we also learn about Trinity's true identity; she is an amiibo! Was she being trained by temmies all this time? I would have never guessed!" - King Dedede
Snap shrugged his shoulders, and tapped the amiibo onto the platform out of curiosity. The screen on the device nearby stated, "AMIIBO NOT SUPPORTED".
"Hmm... Sans was always going under the shelter lately," noted Toriel to herself, "Is it possible he knew all about Trinity's secrets?"
"That's probably why he said right before he left that 'he would see Trinity soon'," replied Snap, "Whatever he did, he probably did this. That would explain why he quit... got ejected... whatever he did."
"Okay, so let's get all of this straight, just so we're all on the same page here, alright?" (He takes a deep breath) "Sans gets ejected for stealing personal property from Jeff, then we get back from tribal, and Trinity disappears, only to learn she's an amiibo figurine... did you get all of that?" - Snap
"Bob's gone too," noted Toriel, looking around, "He probably got scared of being caught, so he ran away back to Temmie Village."
"If that toy is Trinity, then we can end it right here and now by destroying it." threatened Tremor.
Snap shook his head, "Oh no no no no! Don't do that Tremor! We need to give this back to Jeff. He might know what to do with it!"
Tremor crossed his arms, "Even then, it would be the only way to dispose of her."
"Trinity has been the biggest threat since this game has begun. She was dominant from start to finish, and now we have a chance to dispose of the girl before she gains her power back. They build or craft another one of her, can they not? I don't see what the big deal is about this toy..." - Tremor
Meanwhile, while all the commotion was going on, Nah, Bayonetta, and Frederick were all discussing last night's events.
Nah shook her head, "Okay... Sans really pissed me off last night. Maybe I shouldn't of played those idols. We would still have them, Sans probably wouldn't do anything crazy, and we could have just told Tremor to use his sole vote."
"What's done is done Nah, there's no going back on it now." sighed Frederick, holding his arms behind his back.
"My father and I had the most powerful idol to ever exist in the game's history, and thanks to Sans, it's been reduced to almost nothing now. Bayonetta now has the last one, and... I feel like a total idiot for giving it to her. Still... without her, I would probably be sitting on the jury right now, so..." - Nah
"Well, don't you two worry a thing about it," explained Bayonetta, "I think I can manage King Dedede and his loyalty. If Trinity's weaker now, she'll be easy to get rid of next. Then... we're down to eight, and Dedede will not go the route of a tiebreaker. I can promise you that."
"I don't really trust King Dedede right now, either," sighed Nah, "I mean, yeah, he's a big buffoon, but he'll do whatever he wants because he thinks he can make something great happen."
Bayonetta shook her head, "I don't think you have to worry about what he'll do. Just leave him to me, alright? I will put all the blame on myself if he doesn't vote with us."
"I hold all the cards right now, and it's a very delightful little feeling might I add. Nah and Frederick's precious idols are out of their hands. I now have the third special idol, and... it's time to break up the darling family duo once and for all. I will need to make sure Tremor does not interfere." - Bayonetta
"Very well Bayonetta... what an odd friendship we just made, huh?" giggled Nah, shaking Bayonetta's hand, followed by Frederick doing the same thing.
"Yes, a very odd one... yet nobody suspects a thing." grinned Bayonetta.
The trio then returned to camp to go do other things for the time being.
– – – – –
Ta Baykor Day 28
Not much was going on during the mid hours of Day 28. Nobody seemed to care very much that Trinity still hadn't reappeared yet, and nobody seemed too concerned. It was very clear that this was what they all wanted to have happen.
Eventually, a canoe rode up along the stream, being piloted by a ghastly figure. With him, was Jeff Probst, and he was carrying Bob the temmie by the cuff of his striped sweater.
"Can I have everyone's attention, come over here guys!" called Jeff.
Everyone saw Jeff, along with Bob, and everyone made haste over towards him. He had a very stern look on his face.
Snap ran over to Jeff, and handed him all of Trinity's supplies, "If you're here for Trinity, well... we found these underneath the shelter."
"Thank you Snap, and yes, that's exactly why I'm here. Care to explain, Bob?" asked Jeff.
Bob sighed, "Yes, well... Sans and I were talking for awhile now, and he told me that I could save Trinity by resetting the system and potentially teach her more things. However... well... it reset the entire amiibo. Trinity's data was wiped clean."
Jeff nodded, "Yeah, Trinity was a very special amiibo. She had a special .EXE file installed inside her that allowed her to co-exist in the real world. Of course, when Bob reset the amiibo, the .EXE file was wiped as well."
Everyone nodded their heads and listened carefully.
"Didn't Sans say my amiibo was defective or something?" asked King Dedede, out of nowhere.
"That's because no amiibo can work on that program without the .EXE file," said Jeff, "Your amiibo wasn't defective. Sans probably was trying to scare Bob. Clearly, it worked."
"So what happens to Trinity? That's all we really want to know right now." said Tremor, crossing his arms.
"Well... thankfully, Trinity's data has been saved and recovered at Dr. Solus' lab on Sur'Kesh," explained Jeff, "Dr. Solus, as you may remember, is a former Survivor winner, and he offered to help me on the Trinity project. However, it wasn't... perfect, to say the least. Obviously, Trinity maintained her strength as a level 50 amiibo, but she didn't have the social skills. She was obviously learning them, but... of course, through a temmie instead of a human."
Bob sighed a little. He had already told Jeff about how the temmies stole Trinity's amiibo out of curiosity.
"Bob did do one thing right," continued Jeff, "He was saving Trinity's data, and we did block any future data from being saved, as we had no idea what was going on. However... to get all of that data back will take several days. Sur'Kesh is in a completely different world, after all."
"So what the heck does that mean?" asked Snap.
"It means that we have no choice but to pull Trinity from the game," sighed Jeff, "It's a shame to admit it, but you are out of the game if you're out of it for longer then 24 hours. That's why back in Edenia, we considered Sektor a quitter."
Everyone nodded their heads, some pleased Trinity was out of the game for good, but others were upset that this is how Trinity ended up going down.
"Since she was last saved on Day 23 of this game, the day before we blocked saving, she will still be able to return as a member of the jury," said Jeff, "But... she will not be here until maybe after the next tribal council. During her time on the jury, I will try my best to re-teach her how to speak like a normal human... but other then that... you're all down to eight people left."
Everyone nodded once again, looking at one another.
"We will cancel today's immunity challenge, so you can all get a break from the game for several days. Then on Day 31, we will come back together, and compete for immunity. One more person will leave that night. Have a good day."
Jeff then looked down at Bob, "As for you, you're going back to Temmie Village, and you will stay there, are we clear?"
Bob whimpered and nodded his head. Jeff then turned around and climbed back onto the canoe, allowing the ghastly figure to row them out of the camp area.
"Trinity was worthy competition, but man... it got boring with her winning every single challenge! At least she's out of the game now, and we don't have to put up with her any longer. She wasn't annoying, but... she was just a dumb little pawn. Always was, and would always be one! Time to move on." - Snap
"With Trinity out of the way, we can focus on more important things. It's a shame she went out in the way she did, but... in the end, someone else can win immunity, and it will not be her. Immunity will become important as we approach the last ten days of the game. It's all or nothing." - Frederick
– – – – –
Ta Baykor Day 29
Sitting inside the shelter, Nah, Frederick, and Tremor were discussing the game as it's been lately. Nah had just finished telling Tremor about her idol clue, since she and her father already knew.
"It's been such a crazy adventure, wouldn't you say?" smiled Nah, putting the clue away, "I mean... what happened yesterday... everyone early on getting sick... and of course all the crazy votes."
"Yes, it has been pretty crazy lately," replied Frederick, "I'm just glad with all that's happened, we've been managed to stick it through."
"I never would have imagined making it to Day 30 with my daughter in the game of Survivor. I would have predicted our split much earlier. Whatever it takes to get us to the end of the game... that's what I want to make happen. It's in our sights as we speak, and I... I cannot see us not making it." - Frederick
Tremor crossed his arms, "Lately... for such dangerous conditions, they've really worked their best to prevent another medivac from occurring."
"Yeah, I think we would have been losing a lot more had they not taken more precaution after Ducky and Peter Sam left in the ways that they did." sighed Nah.
"You could say Trinity was the final victim of this, wouldn't you agree?" asked Tremor.
Nah nodded her head, "Maybe so. I guess she really was a medivac, huh? That's still a mystery to wrap my head around.. but at least it's over now."
"Finally, Trinity's out of the game, we now can focus on what's really important; making it to the end of the game. I want to take my father and Tremor to the Final 3, because I feel like... no matter what, the winner will be between me or my father. I adore Tremor, but I don't see him winning." - Nah
"So what happens now, Nah? I suppose we have our Final 5 alliance mapped out, correct?" asked Frederick.
Nah nodded her head, "Yes, yes absolutely. As long as Bayonetta can keep King Dedede on a tighter leash, we should be able to take out Toriel, Celeste, and Snap one by one. If not.. well... we'll just try to find that idol on Exile Island."
Tremor nodded his head as well, "Indeed. I rather not use my sole vote until we have no other choice. It's not life or death, after all. There's still a chance of a tiebreaker challenge."
"Fire making... which honestly, Tremor or I can easily win in, there's no hassle!" grinned Nah.
"Actually, now that I think about it, I don't even care if King Dedede votes with us or not. I know I'm the biggest target right now, so go ahead and vote for me! I will simply just do this!" (She pulls out her dragonstone, and transforms into her dragon form.) "And there you have it! An easy win!" - Nah
"Just do not get over-confident, Nah," sighed Frederick, "Anything can change. We still don't know if we can trust Bayonetta."
Tremor closed his eyes, "I believe after all she's done, I believe we can fully trust her. It's the king that I would be more concerned over."
"I suppose you're right, Tremor," replied Frederick, "But there's still just... something about her that doesn't settle well with me."
"I don't really care if Bayonetta's been helping us lately. I still think she's up to no good. I trusted the witch once before, and she blew our entire cover-up. I'm a little surprised Nah's putting so much faith into her, when you would think she would figure out her rubbish immediately." - Frederick
Meanwhile, Bayonetta and King Dedede were talking down one of the many corridors.
"I just want to make sure we're going to be solid together, King Dedede," asked Bayonetta, "Because believe me, you and I are going to be the key swing votes at this point in the game."
King Dedede grinned, "Ah yes! Absolutely we will be! Bwahahaha! They have to get our votes if they so wish to stand a chance in this game!"
"Ahahaha! It feels beautiful enough to know that I, the King of Dreamland, will be the one who decides who lasts longer in this game! Lemme tell you something, it's a powerful position to be in, and hey, I'm a king in my world! I know how to make important choices, so leave it to me!" - King Dedede
Bayonetta nodded her head, "Yes, quite... the biggest problem is going to be Nah and her father... Nah's smart enough to figure things out on her own. Once she's gone, we can focus on eliminating the threats such as Celeste and Toriel.."
King Dedede blinked, "But... Bayonetta? Don't you see? We have Tremor don't we? Why not take Nah and Frederick to the Final 5? We can simply vote those two off! They aren't challenge threats, after all!"
Bayonetta crossed her arms a little, "Hmm... you know, that's quite the observation coming from you, Dedede. I hadn't even thought about that myself. Still... I don't know if we can risk it."
"We have many options right now. Without a simple little amiibo to worry about any longer, the biggest priority right now is splitting up the father and daughter pair. However... King Dedede made quite the point by saying that they are only two people... we outnumber them. Still though..." - Bayonetta
"Then I suggest we continue playing both sides! See what deals the other group of three can make! Who knows, maybe they're all ready to turn on eachother!" suggested King Dedede.
Bayonetta nodded her head, "...very well, Dedede, we'll play it your way. Tomorrow morning I will see what the group suggests to do. For your strange competence... here's a part of an immunity idol clue Nah told me about."
King Dedede grinned as Bayonetta told him everything he needed to know.
"This king is more aware of what's going on then what meets the eye! Numbers are a very important thing after all! 3 beats 2, but 3 cannot beat 3 without a tiebreaker! None of those three will break apart, like the heroic losers they are! So... we stick with father and daughter, we win!" - King Dedede
– – – – –
Ta Baykor Day 30
Sitting around the camp fire were Bayonetta, Celeste, Snap, and Toriel. There was a lot of planning going on before the immunity challenge was to take place.
"Alright, so let's start this whole thing off by me telling you all about the location of a hidden immunity idol on Exile Island!" began Snap, sharing his clue with all three of his allies.
"The last couple of days have been so crazy, man, it's been like a tornado raced through here and scrambled our brains around!" (He shakes his head.) "Oh well, I think the worst is all over.. now we just have to worry about the strategy! We're going to have to find that immunity idol." - Snap
Celeste sighed, "Well... it's pretty clear that there's a pair that needs to be split up. Whatever Sans did at the previous tribal council, he must have baited out their idols. Now they have nothing."
"The only thing they have is Tremor's sole vote," reminded Toriel, "But still... that's about the only thing they have. We should vote him out first... but we have no idea what's going to happen next after he's gone. That's why we need to separate Nah and Frederick immediately."
"Oh I tend to agree on that claim," replied Bayonetta, "I wouldn't quite worry about Tremor's sole vote or him in general. He's on my side, and I'm on your side."
"Sure about that? He hangs out a lot with Frederick and Nah." replied Snap, tilting his head a little.
"He's keeping them calm and collected," replied Bayonetta with a grin, "Wouldn't want them fighting back now would we? Let's strike when they least expect it."
"King Dedede's words still ring true in my head after yesterday, but I need to touch base with these three before we can make the final decision. After all, I managed to get an idol clue from Snap out of it. That's really all I need... but I'll humor them for right now, and see what goes from here." - Bayonetta
"King Dedede is the only problem I would say we have," remarked Celeste, "Sans said he was on our side, but... I just don't know. He can be very power hungry."
"I think as long as we keep our five votes locked in on Nah tomorrow night... I don't think there's anything to worry about." smiled Toriel.
Celeste nodded, "I suppose so... I do think though, this is our best Final 4 right now. The four of us. Other then Frederick, I wouldn't want to see any of the others win the game. They've done... little to nothing to deserve it."
"After the last tribal council, I put myself back into the good hands of my former alliance. While I cannot speak the same for Frederick... he will have to pay the consequences of choosing to abandon a former alliance for whatever his daughter may want instead. That's his loss, and my gain." - Celeste
"Oh I wouldn't say it like that, Celeste," smiled Toriel, "I personally believe the only person who didn't deserve to win just left a few days ago. Everyone else here, on Day 30, deserves to, and can win this game."
"Even King Dedede?" asked Snap.
Toriel nodded her head, "Of course. He must have done something right to still be here, right? Trinity was just... I don't know... she just felt like she wasn't even here to play."
Bayonetta shook her head, "Well... regardless I do hope we all make the right choice moving forward in this game. Regardless of what happens after father and daughter are gone... fair enough?"
The other three players nodded their heads, and shook hands with one another.
"I still don't entirely trust Bayonetta, nor do I trust King Dedede, but... sadly they're the only ones who seem to want to split up the family pair right now. Between the two, I trust Bayonetta a lot more then King Dedede. I don't entirely know where he stands right now, so... he's a mystery to me." - Toriel
Meanwhile, down near the water well, Tremor and King Dedede were filling up all the water canteens, while discussing a topic.
"Well! You do realize those two are going to kick your butt in the Final 3, right?" asked King Dedede, referring to Nah and Frederick.
Tremor nodded his head, "I am aware of that already. But why bring it up to me?"
"Because you hang out with them too much!" replied King Dedede, "What's to say you will not go to the Final 3 with us?"
"I don't trust Tremor at all right now! Never have since the Sasha vote, and I don't think I ever will! The more and more he hangs with Nah and Frederick, the less likely he will be willing to make a move against them! He's going to the Final 3 with us, not them! So what gives, Tremor?!" - King Dedede
"I know you may not see it, king, but I already know that I cannot go to the end with them," replied Tremor, "I have zero intentions of helping them win this game. Now for you... maybe we can cut a deal."
"Ahaha! You're such a darling aren't you, Tremor!" laughed King Dedede, "Tell me, how does Kano's boot taste? Tastier then Bayonetta's?"
"You tell me, seeing as though you glue yourself to her ever since Lemon Zest was voted off." remarked Tremor.
"King Dedede is a massive fool of a king. I still do not know the reason he is a king to begin with. But for being a massive fool... he's quite the talker. Most of it is just bragging.. but that makes him a perfect finalist for someone like me. That makes my work to win this game far less complicated." - Tremor
"You want to go to the Final 3 with me, fine," continued Tremor, "But if you ever doubt my trust, I have a sole vote that could potentially ruin your chances of at least third place. I don't think you would like that, would you?"
"Of course not! Especially since I'm going to win against you and Bayonetta! Who the hell have I stabbed in the back? I've been the underdog since the early days of Bayon!" declared King Dedede.
"It's not a matter of who you stabbed in the back, king. It's more of a matter of what have you done to deserve the money?" replied Tremor, "If you wish to win... you might need to make a big move."
King Dedede's eyes lit up, "Yes! Yes! Absolutely! How could I have forgotten about that little detail?! Thank you so much Tremor!" He shook his hand hard and ran off, leaving Tremor to finish filling the canteens.
"...dumbass." muttered Tremor to himself, channeling former ally Red Forman.
"Right now, I'm playing two different sides. I have Nah and Frederick on one end... Dedede and Bayonetta on another. I believe my odds of winning this game will be far superior against Bayonetta and King Dedede compared to the father and daughter pair. Still, anything can happen." - Tremor
– – – – –
"Come on in guys!"
The remaining players arrived at the challenge area.
"Guys ready for today's immunity challenge?"
Everyone nodded excitedly.
"I'll take back immunity from you guys, retrieving it from the now eliminated Trinity."
Bayonetta did so.
"For today's challenge, you will balance your feet on a small stump, while using your hands to hold ball against a piece of wood. Using a small pole, you will use it to press the ball against the wood, and you will have to balance yourself for as long as you can. If the ball falls off, or you fall off the stump, you're out of the challenge. Last person left standing wins immunity, guaranteed a 1 in 7 shot of winning this game. However... there's a few twists to this challenge."
Jeff revealed a second immunity necklace.
"Two winners will win immunity. One man, and one woman. Be the last man or last woman standing, and you will win yourself immunity for tonight's vote. And.. to make it a little more interesting... another twist."
Jeff walked over and revealed a huge feast of food.
"We were going to use this in the last immunity challenge, but due to Trinity's exit, we postponed it to this one. So, if you feel like immunity isn't important tonight... I want you to step off the mat, and come take a seat over here."
King Dedede did not waste any time in running over to the feast. He didn't even wait for Jeff to tell him to start eating. Snap also shrugged his shoulders, and walked over. Nobody else gave up immunity.
"King Dedede immediately forfeits and takes the food! Snap, second challenge in a row, also chooses to sit this one out. This time, it's on his own call, not our own. That means, for the rest of you, let's get started."
All six competitors got prepared to compete.
"This challenge is now on, and Dedede and Snap... NOW you can start eating..."
– 10 minutes in... –
Right out of the gate, Toriel, Celeste, Nah, and Tremor were looking pretty good. Tremor and Celeste both had their eyes closed, focusing on solely winning individual immunity for the night.
Toriel was focused, but wasn't asserting all of her energy into the challenge yet, but still holding strong. Nah was just determined to win immunity, and not give up yet.
Bayonetta had the special idol in her pocket, and also felt safe going into the vote. She just didn't feel like eating at all. She yawned a little, wondering when she should drop out of the challenge. She looked over at Frederick, and he wasn't doing good at all right now. He was struggling to keep his balance.
"31 days in, nobody wants to go home right now. A couple want to eat, but more want to stay alive in this game. With two men already out, that means... one of you fall, Tremor or Frederick, the other wins immunity."
– 20 minutes in... –
Two people dropped out of the challenge...
…
…
…
...and it was Bayonetta, who dropped out immediately after Frederick did. Frederick shook his head a little.
"Frederick is out of the challenge, followed directly by Bayonetta. That means TREMOR WINS IMMUNITY FOR THE MEN!"
Everyone clapped and cheered for Tremor. Tremor would then drop out himself.
Both Celeste and Toriel were doing very well in the challenge early on, and both were fighting well and hard.
Nah looked over at both of them, wondering how she was going to be able to outlast them. However, her one train of thought left the station, and she lost focus as her ball slipped out.
"And just like that, Nah's out of the challenge. It comes down to Celeste and Toriel for individual immunity for the women."
Nah shook her head, sitting down next to her father, who wrapped an arm around her.
– 30 minutes in... –
Celeste and Toriel were both doing extremely well in this challenge. Neither of them seemed ready to give up now. This meant it would have to come down to a deal between the two allies.
"Who do you think is more likely to be targeted tonight?" whispered Toriel.
Celeste shrugged her shoulders, "Whoever doesn't win between us... I think... I think I have a better chance of survival..."
"Maybe you're right... drop out?" asked Toriel, still being quiet.
…
…
…
...and just like that, Celeste dropped out of the challenge.
"Celeste is out of the challenge, that means TORIEL WINS IMMUNITY FOR THE WOMEN!"
Everyone clapped and cheered for Toriel.
"Congratulations, Tremor, Toriel! For once, I'm putting immunity necklaces around someone other then Trinity for a change! Great performances, neither of you are going home tonight. As for the rest of you, tribal council tonight. After 31 days, one of you will be voted out. See you all tonight."
– – – – –
Ta Baykor Day 31
With tribal council looming around the corner, there was a lot of discussion going on right now for the upcoming vote.
Tremor, Nah, and Frederick were talking inside the shelter about the vote.
"Okay... I think we should have the numbers tonight," explained Nah, "The only concern I have is King Dedede. Even if he flips, the vote should be against me tonight, and I'll beat whoever we face off against."
"We are left between voting for Celeste or Snap... of course, I don't think that's a question to even consider." replied Tremor.
Nah shook her head, "Oh, absolutely not. We're voting for Celeste tonight. She's the biggest threat between the two. Snap's hardly a threat right now... although it won't be long until he is."
"Tonight, between Celeste and Snap, Celeste is the one we have to vote off tonight. She has a lot of endurance, she's strong, she's confident, she's definitely someone who can win this game. Snap... really isn't. Although, it won't be long until Snap does indeed become a threat. He is very likable..." - Nah
Frederick nodded his head, closing his eyes, "I would hate to do it to her... but this is a game. I won't let personal friendships made along the way get ahead of me. If Celeste has to go home tonight, so it shall be."
"It's clear she would rather go to the end with Toriel and Snap," replied Tremor, crossing his arms, "That's a dangerous road for her anyway. She can't win against them. It would easier to send her home now, and save her the embarrassment."
"I blame Sans for that. After he told Celeste what we were doing, I think we lost her trust." shrugged Nah.
"Celeste was once my closest ally in the game. But now it has come down to me voting her off. It's not a good feeling, but it has to happen. In the end though, the only person that matters to me is my own daughter. As long as she's safe, and has a winning chance... I would go down just for her." - Frederick
After the trio agreed to vote for Celeste, they split off to get ready for tribal council.
Meanwhile, down by the stream, Snap, Celeste, and Toriel were talking about the vote as well. Snap was plastered onto the cave wall during the talk.
"So what's the deal here? Are we a strong group of five?" asked Snap, "Or is there still distrust in the air?"
Toriel shook her head, "Well... if you were to ask me... I would say we have at least four votes. Bayonetta seems to want to target Nah tonight. King Dedede... I don't know what he wants. As for Tremor, I don't think we have him at all."
"It's certainly going to be a big night for our alliance. We have four guaranteed votes, but the one vote I am concerned about is King Dedede's. Bayonetta claims he'll get him on board, but I don't know if she will or not. Like we've known, King Dedede feeds on power, and he wants power." - Toriel
"Four votes against four votes will surely end in a tiebreaker, wouldn't it?" asked Celeste.
Snap nodded his head, "Yeah! Fire making challenge! Now that I think about it... why the hell are we voting for Nah? If we tie, she's going to be a dragon and smoke us! We vote Frederick... we stand a chance."
"I... I don't feel comfortable voting for Frederick," sighed Toriel, "I don't want to have to come down to that just to split him and his daughter up."
"Toriel, it might be our only chance to ensure we split them up in the event we tie," warned Snap, "I know I don't do our strategizing often, but for once, listen to me!"
"Nah's a fire breathing dragon. That just says that if we tie, she's going to win hands down. I don't think Toriel or Celeste are really thinking that right now. They just want to appear to be good for Frederick so we can earn his vote back. Girls... he's never coming back to us. Give it up." - Snap
"I just don't know if Bayonetta wants Frederick to go before Nah," replied Celeste, "That's my only concern. If we tell her it's Frederick, she may not be on our side any longer. She'll join them to target us. She does seem like the type to want what she wants, lest she betrays you."
Snap shrugged, "Then hey, that's her loss, not ours! I just feel like it's better for us to target Frederick over Nah. If we tie, we stand a chance."
Toriel sighed, clasping her hands together, "Well now.. let's just give it a little more thought before we make our decision."
"Anything can happen tonight. I don't really want to vote against Frederick, but if it so happens to be our only choice, then so be it. I came 31 days from my home planet to play a game about strategy and manipulation. I believe you need to start somewhere, after all. This is just part of the game." - Celeste
After a lot of discussion, the alliance of three agreed to target one of Nah or Frederick.
Meanwhile, hours before tribal council, Bayonetta and King Dedede were talking down one of the many corridors of Waterfall.
"Tremor's locked in to vote Celeste tonight," replied King Dedede, "So it comes down to us! Like I already told you, Bayonetta, it's safer to take those two to the Final 5!"
"Yet I don't trust them for a single second. We need to do something about this little predicament of ours..." noted Bayonetta to herself.
"I find Nah and Frederick far more threatening then someone like Celeste for the simple matter that those two have influence. They can gain sympathy for their relationship, and use it to their advantage. And, unlike say Celeste or Snap... if Nah or Frederick go on a winning streak, we're done." - Bayonetta
Bayonetta continued to talk, "You and I can beat Celeste and Snap in a Final 3 situation. Snap's done nothing, and Celeste... she's just been kissing up to Toriel this whole time. Frederick and Nah? Pure sympathy. If we can't win the challenges, we need to take people that we can beat in the end as opposed to those we cannot beat."
King Dedede shrugged, "Although... why don't we just tie it up? Let them decide how it all works out? I vote with the family pair, you vote with Toriel's group... and let a fire making challenge occur! No blood gets on our hands in the end!"
"Hmmm... a realizable cause, King Dedede, but... I would much rather we come to an agreement then split it off," sighed Bayonetta, "Although... the idea isn't half bad."
"Aha! Tying up the votes, now that's something you wouldn't see coming! Both sides expect us to be on board five strong, so we throw a curve ball at them, and boom! Tiebreaker! Nobody's prepared for it! Bwahahaha! Great idea, King Dedede, you've definitely outdone yourself today!" - King Dedede
After agreeing to a plan, the duo shook hands and split off. Both of them were then told the plans of both sides, later on. Some were happy with the plans, others were not. We shall soon see what happens at tribal council.
– – – – –
The Ta Baykor tribe arrived at tribal council.
"We'll now bring in the members of the jury,"
"Papyrus,"
Papyrus was wearing the same things as before. He waved at everyone with a happy grin on his face.
"Lemon,"
Lemon wore an orange jumpsuit with her green hair loose and flowing down her back.
"And Sans, ejected at the last tribal council. Trinity, who will also become a member of the jury, still hasn't had her data imported over yet. She will be here at the next tribal council."
Sans wore a red sweater and black pants, whistling his main theme tune as he walked in.
"So it's been such a crazy last couple of days. Sans gets ejected, Trinity gets erased, and now we're getting closer and closer to the final days of the game. Snap, can you feel the money getting close as you approach Day 39?" asked Jeff.
Snap nodded with a grin.
"Hell yeah! I mean, it's still a long way to go, but come on, we're all feeling the pressure here, so I'm ready for anything thrown my way!" replied Snap.
"Celeste, there's definitely been a lot of power shifts since we've merged. Do you think tonight will bring another power shift?" asked Jeff.
Celeste nodded softly.
"I wouldn't be surprised if there was a power shift tonight. I firmly believe everyone left in the game is playing hard, and... I wouldn't be surprised if there's a blindside tonight." replied Celeste.
"Toriel, how do you vote tonight? With so much on the line, there's got to be a lot of things going through your mind." asked Jeff.
"Oh absolutely. We need to vote out the players that could grow to be threats, and we need to plan the votes carefully. We don't know what could happen tonight. I'm just glad that I'm safe tonight." replied Toriel.
Both Papyrus and Sans smiled happily from the jury.
"King Dedede, you look very giddy tonight. Tell me what's on your mind." asked Jeff.
King Dedede laughed a little.
"Well! Just wait and see what's going to happen tonight! I think you'll be very impressed!" replied King Dedede.
Toriel and Celeste looked a little worried, as did Nah. Bayonetta closed her eyes, pushing her glasses up a little.
"Okay, it's time to vote, Celeste, you're up."
– – –
Bayonetta's Vote: Hmph.. this is your loss, after all. (?)
Frederick's Vote: I have a lot of respect for you. If I had my choice, it wouldn't be you. (Celeste)
King Dedede's Vote: Bwahahaha! Tiebreaker time, here we go! This is going to be fun! (Celeste)
Toriel's Vote: I believe you're one of the kindest players in the game. But it's your turn... (?)
– – –
"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, Celeste. (She nodded, clasping her hands.)
…
Celeste. Two votes Celeste.
…
…
…
Frederick. That's one vote Frederick, two votes Celeste. (Nah was shocked, as was Frederick.)
…
Frederick. That's two votes Frederick, two votes Celeste. (He sighed, looking down. Nah was upset.)
…
…
Frederick. That's three votes Frederick, two votes Celeste.
…
…
Celeste. Tied again, three votes Celeste, three votes Frederick. (She took a deep breath.)
…
…
…
Celeste. That's four votes Celeste, three votes Frederick, one vote left. (Bayonetta closed her eyes, while Dedede had a big grin on his face.)
…
…
…
Seventeenth person voted out of Survivor Waterfall, and the fifth member of our jury, Celeste. That's five, that's enough, you need to hand me your torch.
Celeste closed her eyes, and sighed, giving hugs to Toriel and Snap, and shaking Frederick's hand. She then brought her torch up.
"Celeste, the tribe has spoken."
He snuffed out her torch.
"Time for you to go."
Celeste nodded, waving goodbye to the others as she left the tribal council area. King Dedede was very surprised a tie did not happen.
"Another big power shift in the game of Survivor. Who would have predicted that? But I can already say that it won't be the only power shift left in the game. There's still eight more days to go, after all. Grab your torches, and head on back. Good night."
– – – – –
Celeste's Final Words
"Well, that didn't go according to plan, sadly. I should have expected that King Dedede and Bayonetta would turn on us. I don't exactly know Bayonetta's true motives, honestly. She's been talking for days about splitting the pair up, now she goes against that motive? Truly, she's playing hard, but messy."
VOTE
Celeste – Bayonetta, King Dedede, Nah, Frederick, and Tremor
Frederick – Celeste, Toriel, and Snap
Trinity's story as an amiibo came late into development before the season began. I got the idea when I got a Villager amiibo for Christmas. I believe I posted it on Twitter before the season began with a Matrix quote attached to it.
Then I threw in the temmies to throw people off of the amiibo trail. If I kept Trinity in the game, there was literally no way she would be voted off, so... she had to be erased, and that's what Sans' purpose was in the merge, and he accomplished that. That said, Sans was supposed to leave after Trinity, as opposed to before.
Anyway... loved ones are coming in Episode 14! Too bad we won't get to see Celeste's... it would have been the male protagonist of HuniePop. I would have named him "Noble". Get the reference? ;)
