(Shokan Tribe)
The anthros made their way back to camp looking content about the vote. Especially Tigerlily.
"Tonight I was spared because the Papi members came to me and told me that to keep me safe, vote for Tom." Tigerlily said delighted. "I am more than happy to vote him off because ever since we voted out Vincent, he turned into a smug snake."
The tigress leaped at Wally and wrapped her around him.
"Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Tigerlily said happily.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Sheila." Wally said. "Don't thank me. Thank Stinky!"
"Hey, hey. It was from just my idea to vote off Tom." Stinky reminded. "Wanting to keep Tigerlily had been YOUR plan from the start!"
"Oh, right." Wally said before grinning. "Does that mean Tigerlily could still keep hugging me?"
"Well, sure, handsome." The blue-clad woman smirked.
Stinky rolled his eyes at this. "Tigerlily, it is not good to spoil him."
"Come on, Stinky. Let him have his hug." Allison giggled.
"Allison, we have to be consistent with him." The mechanic said speaking like a stern father.
"The main reason I wanted to vote off Tom over Karen was because I saw Tom as a far bigger threat because he made more moves." Stinky said with a grin. "Think about it. It was TOM who pitched the ideas to vote off Vincent, verbally harass Wally and forced a revote with me as the target. Consider it sweet, sweet revenge."
Tigerlily broke the hug much to Wally's dismay.
"So what now?" Tigerlily asked.
"Hey!"
The anthros turned to see Karen storming over with Becky walking over behind looking down.
"Now we have our ears bleed." Stinky said flatly.
"Tonight was supposed to be simple. Vote off Tigerlily aka the only outsider but NO! For some hair-brained reason outside of the logic on my part, those freaks of nature voted out Tom." Karen growled. "Why? Tom wasn't an Immunity threat. Tigerlily was! Am I only the only smart one still in the game?"
"Seriously, what happened back there?" The young woman asked. "Why did you voted out Tom?"
"You should had seen it coming, Karen." Stinky said crossing his arms. "You guys voted for me even though we were voting with you."
"Well, just let me say that…" The brunette started.
"You deserved it…"
Everyone then looked down at Becky who still had her head down.
"Um, come again?" Allison asked.
Becky looked up with fire in her eyes. "You deserved it! You deserved to go home if Tea played the Idol!"
Everyone jumped at this.
"I beg your pardon?" Stinky said stunned.
"You heard me. You are a grumpy, loud miserable person who should had been voted out a long time ago." Becky snapped. "In fact, you should had been voted out after Franklin revealed that you was from StarWolf!"
"I…" Stinky said before narrowing his eyes. "Hey! I thought we all agreed that we were going to judge me on that!"
"All agreed? I never recall ever saying something like that." Becky said crossing her arms. "You may had convinced everyone else but you didn't convince me."
"Becky, please…" Allison said.
"No, Allison! You are aligned with a villain and helped him vote off nothing but good people!" The girl scout growled.
"Good people?" Wally said in disbelief. "Tom and Karen verbally attacked me!"
"What? Karen and Tom said that it was pure strategy." Becky said.
"Becky, PLEASE don't tell us you expect us to buy that." Stinky said crossing his arms.
"Oh, what do you know? You work for a blood-thirsty mercenary." The bespectacled girl snapped.
Tigerlily walked over to Becky and crouched down putting her hands on her shoulders. "Becky, please… Listen to yourself."
The teenager stepped back. "No! You had betrayed me and Karen! You didn't threw the Challenge and nearly sent me home! You are not a good person! I hate you guys and I hate this game! Why are all the undeserving people making it to the Finals?"
With that, she stormed off gritting her teeth in rage. The others watched her leave with wide eyes and slack jaws. Karen then broke the silence by turning to the others.
"Um… What she said with a cherry on top." She said before walking off.
"I hate those guys so much right now! They voted off a perfectly good person because we caused a revote with Stinky even though if he did left, nobody would miss him." Becky said wiping away her tears. "Why is everyone keeping the bad people? Don't they want someone deserving to win?"
(Day 34)
The anthros were talking to each other.
"Are you serious?" Tigerlily said in disbelief.
"Yep. We are willing ta help ya vote off Karen and Becky." Wally grinned.
"We all talked about it and we all agreed." Allison smiled.
"Oh, thank you guys!" Tigerlily smiled.
"We all talked about it a lot and we all agreed that we will vote off Karen and Becky off before Tigerlily." Wally said with a grin. "Ah couldn't care less that Karen is the perfect goat. We just didn't voted out her out because Tom is a far bigger threat."
"All we have ta do is make sure one of those girls don't win Immunity." The boxer said.
"Should be easy with Karen." Stinky chuckled.
"What about Becky?" Tigerlily asked.
"Oh, she is pretty agile and competent but I think we all could take her on." Stinky explained.
"No… I mean I am worried about her." Tigerlily said holding her arm.
Wally's ears drooped. "Ah can see your concern. She isn't the same sweetheart that skipped down the dock on Day 1."
"While this game can change people for the better, it could also change for the worse. Ever since Franklin got voted out, she had been quite bitter to those who betrayed her." Allison frowned. "I know that we had made moves that worked against her favour but it was to further ourselves in the game."
"One of the main reasons that I am worried for is because Bryan and Karen had been playing her like a fool." Tigerlily explained.
Stinky merely shrugged. "Yeah, we kinda figured that after we saw how close she was to those schmucks."
"…I just want to convince that Karen doesn't like her before it is too late." Tigerlily said shaking her head.
"That is real nice of you, Tigerlily even though how she been treating you ever since the double Tribal Council." Stinky said.
"Hey, in a way, I kinda deserved it." Tigerlily sighed.
Meanwhile, Becky laid on a log with her glasses off putting her hand on her forehead with Karen sitting on an opposite log.
"You okay there?" Karen asked.
"No… Two good people are stuck in the minority while four undeserving people have the majority." Becky groaned.
"Tell me about it." Karen said rolling her eyes.
Becky then sat up and put back on her glasses. "What are we going to do? Those guys care too much about the game for us to get them to flip!"
"Right again." Karen sighed while shaking her head. "Fortunately, the hidden Immunity Idol is still in play."
"Yeah… But we don't have any clues…" Becky lamented.
"That may be true but we still got a couple of Reward Challenges coming up." Karen said. "All you have to do is win Reward."
Becky raised an eyebrow. "Why me?"
"Huh?" Karen asked.
"Why do I have to try to win it alone?" Becky asked. "I mean I am up against a boxing kangaroo and a tiger! I can't beat them on my own!"
"W-What are you implying?" Karen asked.
Becky narrowed her eyes. "Karen, I need as much help as I could get. If we want to survive, you have to TRY at the next Reward Challenge."
"TRY!" The older girl gasped. She could had sworn she had heard dramatic organ music.
"Karen, please. I know that you are not at good at Challenges but I need your help." Becky frowned. "If it is a physical one, I could try to do it myself but we need to work together!"
The aristocrat gulped nervously not liking where this was going. She then let out a small sigh.
"All right… All right… You win…" Karen said in defeat. "I'll do what I can."
Becky smiled at this. "Thank you! And don't worry, I will try my hardest! Now come on! Let's go show those anthros that good will prevail."
Karen smirked and nodded. "All right."
"After Bryan got voted off, I was in a funk and thought that our alliance would be done for but being with Franklin helped me realize that I am not alone and this is a prime example." Becky smiled. "Karen is much more nicer than everyone gives her credit for. She would look out for me just like I could look out for her."
"Becky… She is an okay girl but not the type I would hang around with after the game. Despite her recent attitude, she is far too sunny and perky for my taste." Karen said crossing her arms. "Unfortunately, you can't choose your favourite allies on Survivor. Still, if things don't turn out in our favour, I may have to rally the freak-shows to vote off Becky instead of me."
(Day 35)
"We should have a Challenge today and our main goal is to make sure Karen and Becky doesn't win it. It should be easy. I take them on any day over Tigerlily and Tea." Allison said. "Still, we mustn't get cocky. Determination could do wonders for a person."
Everyone watched as Karen and Becky went to get treemail.
"What kind of Challenge do you think it is going to be?" Allison asked.
"However, something physical because we could all easily cream them in it!" Wally said with a smirk.
Stinky merely rolled his eyes. "Oh, you just want an excuse to show off that Outback six-pack!"
"Hey, come on!" Wally grinned holding his arm. "It is not mah fault that Ah am the strongest person left in the game!"
"One of mah favourite things ta do is ta show off my stuff ta everyone. However, if Ah do that standing next ta Greg or Red, people would just laugh at me." Wally sighed. "Believe me… It happened a lot. Now that they are both long gone, Ah am now the king of the muscle here. Ah just won't that mah alliance stays loyal ta me."
"Well, just so you know that there are several types of Challenges that aren't physical." Stinky scolded. "You also still got to deal with five other people."
"Aw, don't be like that." Wally said.
"In any case, I just we could at least beat two other people." Allison shrugged.
They then noticed Karen and Becky returning.
"Gather around, fuzz and scale balls." Karen said holding her letter. "We got a Challenge today!"
"All right! What does it say?" Tigerlily asked.
"It just says… "Are you ready for Final Reward?" Karen read.
Everyone's eyes bugged out before they looked at each other.
"Final Reward? FINAL REWARD! That means that Becky and I NEED to win this next Challenge because if we don't, it would go to those furries!" Karen said holding her head. "Why is this happening? Why is good things are happening to bad people and vice versa!"
(Final Reward)
The six remaining castaways made their way onto the mat.
"Welcome, Shokan to your Final Reward!" Tiny said with a smirk. "Now before we could go to the Challenge, we need to sort out the teams."
Everyone looked confused at this. Tiny just chuckled.
"Confused? Well, don't worry. It would all be obvious soon enough." He said before turning around. "All right! One by one, guys!"
After he said this, a figure walked into the Challenge area. She was a teenager with blonde hair tied in a ponytail and dressed like some kind of explorer. Becky gasped as her eyes widened in shock.
"Linka?" She said stunned.
"Hello, Becky!" The woman said cheerfully in a Russian accent.
"Yes, it is Linka from Captain Planet!" Tiny grinned. "Congratulations, everyone! You had all made the Family Visit!"
"Ooh, Linka! I am SO glad to see you after all so long!" Becky said happily holding Linka's hands.
"Same here. I am quite impressed that you made it this far." The Planeteer smiled.
"I had a little help." Becky giggled.
Then, the next person came out. This time it was an anthro male. He was a green crocodile with headphones and a gold chain necklace.
"And here is Vector The Crocodile from Sonic The Hedgehog!"
"Vector! You actually came!" Allison said holding her hands happily.
"Of course! I have to see how far my protégé is doing in her training!" The crocodile chuckled putting his hand on her shoulder.
Allison gave a small smirk. "You'll be surprised."
Next came a large overweight human clad in overalls and red boxing gloves. Despite he was completely bald, he had a brown beard with a matching patch of hair on his chest.
"Here is Bear Hugger from Punch-Out!"
"BH! All right!" Wally said ready to give a high-five.
However, Bear Hugger then reached down and gave him a big happy big hug. "Oh, I am so happy that you made it this far, eh!"
"A-Aye, same here." Wally said weakly. "So how about helping me make it ta the end in one piece?"
The next person was a anthro tiger without any clothes of any kind of with beady eyes.
"Here is Hobbes from Calvin and Hobbes!"
Tigerlily gave a smirk. "I have to ask. How Calvin took the news that I was in the Final Six?"
"He kicked a soccer ball so hard, it ricocheted around the room until it flew into his head." Hobbes said returning the chuckled. "Classic."
Coming out of the bushes was a grey-furred anthro wolf dressed in a futuristic get-up. He even had a cybernetic eye-patch."
"Here is Wolf O'Donnell from StarFox!"
Stinky's eyes actually lit up in excitement. "Whoa, boss! You actually came!"
"Hey, I have to see for myself that you are still in the game." Wolf said before looking around. "Speaking of which, the others don't seem too surprised that I am here."
"Well, it is a long story." Stinky chuckled.
The last visitor came into the area. It was a young blonde man who clad in what looked like a mix between a school uniform and a suit.
"And Tamaki Suoh from Ouran Host Club!"
Karen's eyes lit up at this. "Finally! Someone on the level as me!"
Tamaki casually walked over to Karen and pulled out a rose. "Fair maiden, Karen. You had surprised everyone by making this so far."
Karen chuckled as she accepted the rose with her eyes closed. "Well, it is nice to see that there is some people with some manners."
She then opened her eyes to reveal that Tamaki wasn't with her anymore. She turned her head to see her visitor standing in front of Linka with a rose.
"And you… Your beauty had already took my breath away." Tamaki said with a seductive smile.
Linka blinked twice before narrowing her eyes and gently shoved him away.
"Please… Go away!" She snapped.
Tamaki's eyes widened in shock as his jaw dropped to the floor. He promptly dropped the rose in his hand.
"Go… Away…?" He said weakly.
Everyone watched as he walked off a bit and crouched down drawing circles on the ground. They all looked at each other.
"Is he always like that?" Becky asked Karen.
"Only when he gets rejected." The aristocrat said throwing her rose over her shoulder while rolling her eyes.
"Um… If Tamaki feels better, can we start the Challenge?" Tiny asked.
The blonde man slowly got up and weakly walked over to Karen still stunned by the rejection.
"All right. Here is your next Challenge. Either you or your visitor would hold up piggy-back the other person while the former is blindsided. You have to navigate around the area trying to find balls of a certain colour. After you collected all three balls of your colour, you have to go to the finish line." Tiny said. "First pair makes it to the finish line wins Reward." Tiny said. "Want to know what you are playing for?"
Everyone nodded.
"A nice trip to a restaurant where you would enjoy lots of food." Tiny smiled.
Everyone looked excited at this.
"Now, I'll give you a minute to figure out who is carrying who." Tiny said.
(Later)
The choice wasn't even hard. All of the visitors opted to hold the fan characters.
"All right! For Reward! Survivors and their visitors, ready!" Tiny said. "GO!"
All six pairs made their way through the area.
"So we are going to find some red balls, eh?" Bear Hugger asked.
"Aye…" Wally said looking around. "The first one is forward ta the right!"
"Gotcha!" Bear Hugger grinned before lumbering over.
"Okay, where is the first yellow ball?" Hobbes asked.
"Quite a bit away." Tigerlily said. "Just keep going forward and I will tell you when to turn."
Hobbes nodded as he jogged off.
"That's it, boss. You are right in front of the first blue ball." Stinky instructed. "Now crouch down and pick it up."
"Okay." Wolf said as he obliged. "So where is the next ball?"
"It should be…" Stinky started.
Suddenly, a pair bumped into them nearly making them fall over.
"Hey! Watch it, you Sunday Riders!" Stinky shouted angrily shaking his fist at the guilty party.
"You are so lucky I am blindfolded right now!" Wolf threatened after remaining his composure.
Karen glared down at Tamaki. "You nearly made us crash into another pair!"
"S-Sorry, my lady but you kept yelling at me to go faster!" The president of the Host Club apologized.
"Bah! Whatever! The first purple ball is close up anyway!" Karen huffed. "Just keep going forward."
"Yes, Karen." Tamaki sighed as he ran past Allison and Vector nearly colliding into them.
"Hey! Please be more careful!" Allison scolded.
"Is she always like this?" Vector asked.
"Well, I admit that she mellowed out a bit recently but yeah… Pretty much…" Allison sighed.
"Humph. Forgot about her." Vector scoffed. "Am I still in line for the orange ball?"
"Yes… Just keep going forward." Allison nodded.
Becky smiled as she watched her friend pick up a green ball. "Good work, Linka! That's our first one!"
"All right! So what position to you think we are in so far?" The Russian woman asked.
"Hmm… I just saw Stinky and Wolf pick up their first one and…" Becky said before she noticed something. "Oh no! The tigers and boxers just picked up their first ball as well!"
"Well, we better pick it up!" Linka said. "Where is the next ball?"
Vector crouched down and picked up their first ball. "All right! I got it!"
"Good because I think we are a little behind right now." Allison said.
Karen watched as the two reptiles tried to make up for loss time. She then growled.
"Tamaki! Everyone already have their first ball but us!" The young woman scolded.
"I am sorry, Karen but I kept missing the ball because you kept treating me like a horse!" The aristocrat apologized.
"Even my horses are more responsive than you!" Karen yelled. "Just be glad that we are not allowed to use horsewhips!"
"Okay, boss. The next ball is just up ahead." Stinky said. He then noticed something. "Oh, wait. Stop!"
The wolf did what he was told. Suddenly, Wally and Bear Hugger ran past them shouting at the top of their lungs.
"Keep going, big guy! The next one is just up ahead!" Wally shouted.
"Got it, eh!" Bear Hugger nodded.
"Should be glad that I am blindfolded right now?" Wolf asked.
"Pretty much." Stinky said rolling his eyes.
"All right, Hobbes. You are coming up to the second ball." Tigerlily said.
"All right." The male tiger nodded as he gave his way over. When Tigerlily gave the word, he crouched down and picked up the ball."Awesome! We are in the lead!" Tigerlily said looking around.
Meanwhile, Linka picked up their second ball.
"Okay! We just need two more!" Becky smiled before turning. "And we better go fast! Not only are the tigers are in the need but StarWolf is catching up!"
"All right!" Linka nodded.
Suddenly, Karen and Tamaki ran past them with the former shouting at the top of her lungs.
"You just missed the ball AGAIN!" Karen scolded.
"I-I am sorry, my lady!" Tamaki said. "I am trying the best I can!"
"Well, try harder!" Karen scolded. "We are the only pair so far who DIDN'T get a ball! Now rush forward!"
"A-All right!" Tamaki said as he dashed forward.
However, Karen suddenly noticed that he was running towards Wally and Bear Hugger. Her eyes widened in horror knowing that there was no time to stop.
SLAM!
After colliding with 440 lbs at a rushing distance, the two aristocrats were sent flying through the air screaming in terror with Tiny and the contestants gaping in shock. Soon, the two fell like stones into the ocean making a big splash as they did so.
Everyone stood stunned at what just happened.
"Hey, what just happened, eh?" Bear Hugger asked.
"Um, nothing." Wally said with a small smirk. "Just keep going…"
"All right, eh." Bear Hugger scratching his head.
Suddenly, a pair went over to their final ball.
"T-This is it! This is the final ball!" The contestant said excitedly.
"All right! Where is the finish line?" The visitor asked.
"Just on the right!" The contestant yelled. "The path is clear so just run!"
The visitor nodded as they ran towards the finish line knowing that victory was in their grasp. They soon crossed it.
"BECKY AND LINKA WINS REWARD!"
Linka happily took off her blindfold and turned around to hug Becky in joy.
Allison suddenly chirped up. "So is anyone going to save Karen and Tamaki?"
(Later)
"Congratulations, Becky and Linka on winning Reward. But why should you two have all the fun? You can bring one contestant and their loved one with you." Tiny smiled.
Becky looked up at Linka. "May I choose?"
The Russian woman giggled. "Of course! You know all of these people more than I do."
"Okay, then." Becky smiled. "Then I choose Karen and Tamaki!"
Linka's smile vanished in surprise. "What?"
The other guests looked surprised as well. However, the contestants simply rolled their eyes.
"Seriously?" Tamaki asked.
Karen smirked as the two walked over.
"All right, Becky and Karen, you get to spend the day with your loved ones at a nice restaurant. You would also get a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol." Tiny said before turning to the others. "As for the rest of you, you can show your visitors the camp. You may now go."
(Shokan Tribe)
"It is always nice to know that you made the Family Visit. Seeing your nodal companion here makes you forgot about the game and gets rid of most of your stress." Tigerlily said in relief. "Hobbes had been one of my flirting buddies ever since we first met."
"I am so proud that you made it this far." Hobbes smiled. "I knew that you would do better than Calvin."
"Of course! It is not hard to last six days out here if you make nice with the right people." Tigerlily said.
"And Calvin abused the right people and got himself kicked out of the game." Hobbes said as the two laughed.
"Last season, I never really had any expectations for Calvin. I know that he is my friend but even best friends have limits when you are cheering for someone flat out says he would start an anti-girl alliance." Hobbes said. "Tigerlily on the other hand… Not only she knows how to play a strategic game but a social one as well."
"Seriously, Hobbes. I am so happy you came." Tigerlily said looking down. "This game is a lot more stressful than it looks."
"Really? What's wrong?" He asked.
"It is a long story. To put it short, every single one of my allies got voted out because of me in one way or another."
"Seriously?" Hobbes said surprised.
"Yeah. I threw a Challenge to get rid of a pest and I caused the first one to voted out instead, the second one got voted out because I DIDN'T throw a Challenge, the third one got voted out because I threatened someone and the last one got voted out because I won Immunity." Tigerlily sighed.
"Ouch." Hobbes winced.
"Yeah." Tigerlily said. "Thankfully, I am finally in the majority but I am the fourth wheel of it."
"Maybe you can convince them to keep you by saying that you got no locked jury votes." Hobbes offered. "How many of your allies made jury?"
"Three." Tigerlily said flatly.
Hobbes cringed as he nervously rubbed the side of the kick.
"Wow… Well, hang in there. You made it this far, anyway." The feline said putting a comforting hand of his shoulder. "Besides, Calvin and I are rooting for you."
Tigerlily blinked twice at this. "Calvin is rooting for me? He wants a piece of the money if I win, don't he?"
"Well, duh!" Hobbes said rolling his eyes.
Meanwhile, Wally, Bear Hugger, Allison and Vector were talking to each other.
"So this is your campsite, eh? Pretty sweet digs!" Bear Hugger grinned.
"Hey! And the shelter looks amazing!" Vector added.
Allison giggled. "Yeah, we all liked it!"
"I have to say Wally. A lot of the boxers back home was pretty shocked that you are still in the game, eh?" Bear Hugger grinned.
"Yeah, Ah admit that Ah lucked out on some cases here and there." Wally smirked. "Speaking of which, does the guys miss me?"
Bear Hugger's grin vanished.
"Um, well. Glass Joe is missing you because all of the boxers' rage get forwarded towards you. Aran missed teasing you about being the only critter in the boxing circuit and…" The Canadian said before trailing off. "Well, my critter pals said hi, eh?"
Wally looked annoyed as Allison and Vector looked at each other.
"I don't see why most of the boxers dislike Wally. Sure, he is clumsy around the mouth but he is a great pal to be around, eh. Especially at parties." Bear Hugger shrugged. "He and I get into a lot of antics together, eh."
"Anyway, I am just as impressed that you made it this far, Allison." Vector chuckled.
"I am far more than impressed than you, Vector." The pink-scaled woman giggled.
"Vector is my hero. He just strikes me as the mix of the heroes from various detective novels I read. I knew that if I joined the Chaotix crew, they could help with my dream job." Allison smiled. "Thankfully, after leaving this, I could have a much better chance of being a detective."
"Allison is what you may say… Is my protégé. Along with Espio, we are helping her become a detective. However, one major flaw is that she is far too shy and unconfident." Vector explained. "I think that she had really come out of her shell here and gotten more confident in herself and her skills."
"So how are you doing on your mission?" The detective asked.
"Oh, I don't know if my skills had gotten much better but my confidence had improved." Allison nodded.
"No. I mean your OTHER mission." Vector said raising his eyebrows.
Allison's eyes widened as she blushed. "Well, I admit that it took a long time but in the end, I had finally found someone."
"Who is it?" Vector asked.
"Well… Let's just say he is someone that I had NEVER thought of being with on the first week." Allison shrugged hugging her knees.
Wally and Bear Hugger blinked twice before looking at each other.
"What are they talking about, eh?" Bear Hugger asked.
"Must be a reptile thing." Wally shrugged.
Lastly, Stinky and Wolf were walking around the beach.
"So need any advice on the game?" Wolf asked.
"Not right now. In fact, I am in a good position." Stinky said. "I am in a 4-2 majority and I am close with two of the people there."
"Heh. I must say that you are surprising me. I would had assumed that you would be the outsider of your tribe." Wolf stated.
"Let's just say that a series of huge events caused me to mellow out a little." Stinky said with a sigh.
"I am so glad that Wolf is here. I look up to him so much. In fact, I was just a second-rate mechanic until he saw my potential." Stinky said looking surprisingly happy. "I know that I hidden the fact that I am from StarWolf from everyone but he is not a monster. Or at least how Franklin tried to make him out to be."
"So you are saying that your secret had been revealed because this deluded knight showed your letter from home to everyone?" Wolf asked.
"Yeah… And he tried to get me voted out because of it." Stinky said rolling his eyes.
"Humph. What an moron." Wolf scoffed.
"Yeah, but thankfully most of the others saw past that and Allison even helped me realize that I shouldn't feel like a target because of who I work for." Stinky shrugged with a smile. "I guess that is why I truly started to shape up on my attitude."
Wolf blinked twice stopping in his walk. "Stinky."
The skunk in question turned around. "Yeah, boss?"
"You are aware that Panther tries to get a lot of "girlfriends", correct?" Wolf said narrowing his eye. "However, he is not allowed to bring them into the base for obvious reasons. And I expect YOU to do the same!"
Stinky's eyes widened to the fullest.
"Boss… Do you think me and Allison…?" The skunk sputtered. "No, no, no, no! You totally misunderstand! Allison and I are just close because we had been working together to avoid being Ulonged. That's all."
With that, he marched off with his face red in anger and embarrassment. Wolf gave a small smirk.
"Bull… What Stinky said is complete bull." Wolf said crossing his arms with a wide smirk.
The mercenary was about to follow him until…
"Oy, Wolf!"
The canine's good eye bugged out before he turned to see Wally running over with a grin.
"What?" Wolf asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Can I ask a question?" Wally asked.
Wolf merely shrugged. "It better be good."
Wally put his hands on his mouth trying to stifle a chuckle.
"Okay, you know Tiny, right?" The boxer asked.
"Right…" Wolf said wondering where this was going.
Wally then grinned widely.
"What does the scouter say about his power level?"
Wolf's good eye widened to the fullest as his pupil turned into a grain of rice. He then narrowed it.
Wally sat in front of the camera wielding an unsightly black eye. "Yeah, Ah guess Ah kinda deserved that. But come on! Who can resist a good internet meme?"
(Seafood Restaurant)
The four teenagers made their way into the restaurant where a waiter was waiting for them.
"Hi! We are with the race!" Becky said politely.
"Ah! We been expecting you." The waiter smiled. "Please have a seat."
The four smiled before making their way to a table and starting to read the menus. Karen was the most happy.
"FINALLY! Becky and her Russian friend had won Reward and took me and Tamaki on a relaxing Reward. And it is about time too! I could use a good meal." Karen smiled. "Plus, we got the next clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol!"
"I have to say, Karen." Tamaki said. "I am quite impressed that you made it all the way here."
The yellow-clad woman chuckled. "I must admit that I had grown quite a lot even since I came on the island. Oh, and I had some help as well."
"We both did." Becky said nodding her head.
"Oh, who are your allies?" Tamaki asked.
Becky's smile vanished as she looked down. "They all got voted out. Each and every one of them."
"Oh, that's terrible!" Linka gasped. "So you are in the minority?"
"Yeah, the fuzz-balls all betrayed us in one way in another." Karen said rolling her eyes.
"Seriously? They all seem like decent people." Tamaki said.
"No, they are not! They are backstabbers with only the game on their minds!" Becky said standing up surprising everyone.
"B-Becky…" Linka said surprised.
"S-Sorry…" The girl scout said sitting up. "I just can't stand anyone talking nice about them after what they done."
"W-What have they done?" Tamaki asked.
"I am so glad that Linka is here. She is always so positive and headstrong. She could give me and Karen pointers on how to survive the next Tribal Council." Becky said with a sigh. "I am just happy that Linka is nowhere near the traitors or else she would literally blow them away into the past."
"And now thanks to them, we are both stuck in the minority." The green-clad girl sighed.
Tamaki blinked twice. "Don't you think you are being a bit harsh?"
Becky looked up. "What do you mean?"
"I understand that being betrayed is not a great feeling but from what I recall, you have to backstab people to further yourself in the game." Tamaki explained.
"Yeah, but this is a social game as well. And backstabbing people is not social at all." Becky said crossing her arms.
"Becky, please…" Linka said. "Surely they had a reason for it."
"Yeah, to further themselves in the game." The youngest person said getting out a piece of paper. "In fact, let's read the clue right now so that we could plan to show those guys what it is like to be backstabbed."
Karen smirked as Linka and Tamaki looked at each other in worry.
"This is exactly what I feared would happen if Becky came on Survivor. She doesn't grasp the concept of backstabbing of the game and expect everyone to stay loyal." Linka frowned. "It is even worse than I feared. Becky had become bitter against the anthros."
Becky then read the clue to everyone.
"The Hidden Immunity Idol is down under something green and hard."
Tamaki raised a confused eyebrow. "What does THAT mean?"
"Hmm…" Becky mused. "Down under. It MUST be under something green. A bush, perhaps?"
"Bushes aren't hard." Linka said before her eyes widened in realization. "But rocks are!"
Becky caught on to what Linka was saying but Karen and Tamaki were still in the dark.
"Um, rocks aren't green." Karen pointed out.
"But moss is!" Linka smiled.
Tamaki blinked twice. "What does moss have to do with rocks?"
Linka slapped her head in annoyance.
"Personally, I would love to go to the actual campsite than a Reward . Mainly because I am eager to learn of the bizarre yet quaint stuff the commoner's world has to offer." Tamaki said scratching his head. "But now I feel it for the best. I don't think I could spend one night there."
"The hidden Immunity Idol is underneath a rock with moss on it." Becky said.
"Ah, I see now!" Tamaki said snapping his fingers summoning sparkles around himself. "This must be the truly Challenge of Survivor! A good old-fashioned treasure hunter. Perhaps I should apply for Survivor the next time it is open for canons."
The three girls blinked twice as Tamaki continued to monologue.
"Um, how did you know this guy, Karen?" Linka asked.
"Our fathers are best friends." The aristocrat said waving it off.
Suddenly, the waiter came back with four meals.
"Sorry it took so long!" The waiter said.
"Finally! Decent food!" Karen smiled before the four started to eat.
(Day 36, Shokan Tribe)
The visitors watched as the castaways gathered around a treemail letter for the next Challenge.
"Well, it was nice to relax with our loved ones but it is only a matter of time before we head back into the game." Allison said. "We have to say good-byes to our guests for the rest of the game."
"I don't suppose you guys been told anything about the next Challenge." Stinky said.
"Nope. Completely in the dark." Hobbes shrugged. "Um, Wally? Are you okay?"
"Meh. I got hit worse." The boxer said. "Ah have to say though, Wolf. Ya got one heck of a right hook. Fancy a spot in boxing?"
"I'll pass." Wolf said coolly.
Tigerlily chuckled as she shook her head. She then read the letter. "How good are you at catch?"
"Well, safe to say that it deals with catching in some way." Vector said scratching his head.
"The main thing is that we have to make sure Karen doesn't win it." Stinky said.
"I don't know what to assume but I think I speak for the collective when I say I think it has something to do with sports." Tigerlily mused. "Which is good because we are all much more sporty than Karen ever is."
"Well, make sure you don't. And after the Challenge, watch them like hawks." Wolf commanded. "I don't care you have to do it for the entire day, do it!"
Everyone winced at this.
"Sheesh, pal. You don't have to be pushy about it, eh." Bear Hugger said putting his hands on his hips.
"Pfft. I am just suggesting what I would do if I was on the show." Wolf said crossing his arms. "Besides, I literally have to be "pushy" here. Believe or not, Stinky has a very negative personality back home and has a habit of always looking at the worst case scenario for everything."
Wally gasped as he put his hands to his mouth. "Seriously?"
Stinky growled as Tigerlily and Allison giggled.
(Immunity Challenge)
The four anthros stood on the mat where Tiny was waiting.
"All right! We now bring it Becky and Karen from Reward!"
The two girls then walked in. They were quick to notice Wally's black eye.
"What happened to you?" Karen asked.
Wally just sighed. "Just met up one of mah mates' mates."
"Anyway, let's just get to today's Challenge." Tiny said. "Take a look."
Everyone saw that there were a cannon on some kind. A bit of distance away were six nets.
"The Challenge is simple. I will shoot a ball the size of a soccer ball out of that cannon. You have to catch them in your net to score a point. The first person to score three points wins Immunity granting a 1-in-5 chance of winning." Tiny said. "First things first, Wally. The necklace, please."
The boxer obliged before going back to the others.
"All right! Let's get into positions!"
(Later)
All six castaways got into positions.
"All right! For Immunity!" Tiny said. "Here comes the first ball coming your way!"
With that, he shot the first ball straight into the air. Everyone readied his nets and ran towards the ball hoping to see if they could catch it.
It came shooting down and Wally, Tigerlily and Stinky were the closest to it. Wally did a sliding catch towards it. The ball falls in his basket.
"Wally caught it!" Tiny yelled. "He now leads at 1!"
"Wow! Nice moves there!" Tigerlily said helping Wally up.
"Thanks!" Wally smirked.
Tiny readied the cannon again putting another ball in it and sending it into the air. The most athletic group ran forward. However, the ball shot them as it flew towards the others. Becky, Allison and Karen ran towards the ball with hopes of trying to catch it.
Allison and Karen both tripped. However, Becky leaped up and caught it.
"Becky caught it!" Tiny said. "She now has one point."
"Yay!" The girl scout said jumping in the air in happiness.
"Serves me right for trying to do a sporty Challenge." Allison frowned.
Tiny fired the ball as it soared into the sky. This time, it was aimed at the general area. Everyone gathered around wanting to catch the ball. It was going to be close.
Karen suddenly ran forward to try to get the ball. Becky tried to block off the others from reaching it.
Only for it to bounce off of her head. As Karen fell onto her back, the ball bounced into Tigerlily's net.
Tiny blinked twice. "Karen had it but now Tigerlily does. She now has one point."
"Karen, are you all right?" Becky said helping up her only ally.
"W-Why is this happening?" The aristocrat with tears in her eyes. "I should be sitting back watching this happen to other people!"
Tiny shook his head as he readied the cannon. Another ball was shot into the air. Everyone scrambled and rushed towards it trying to catch it.
Suddenly, Tigerlily crouched down and all fours and leapt forward. She had surprised everybody by catching in form of a dive.
"Tigerlily caught it!" Tiny shouted. "She now has two points. If she wins this next one, she wins Immunity."
"What do you expect? I am a tiger." Tigerlily smirked.
Tiny nodded before reloading the cannon firing another ball in the air. Everyone ran towards it knowing that there may be one more ball before the Challenge was over.
Stinky then ran forward readying his net. He smirked as the thought of scoring a point.
Suddenly, Wally stretched his net out of nowhere and caught it.
"Wally caught!" Tiny yelled. "He is now tied with Tigerlily and Wally at two points each!"
"Hey!" Stinky said glaring at Wally who simply stood with his tongue out and gave a peace sign with his free hand.
Tiny chuckled before readying the cannon one more time. He shot another ball straight up into the air. Everyone readied their nets knowing that was really coming down to the wire now.
Then, somebody caught it in their net. Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing knowing that the person who caught it already had two points.
"Wally caught it! WALLY WINS IMMUNITY!"
The boxer yelled in success as he pumped his net in the game.
(Later)
"Good work, Wally!" Tiny said putting the Necklace around his neck. "You just won Immunity guaranteeing a 1-in-5 chance of winning."
"Twice in a row, baby!" The marsupial grinned.
Tiny then turned to the others. "As for the rest of you, one of you would fall short of making it into the finale. You have all afternoon to figure out who. You may head back to camp."
(Shokan Tribe)
"Ah am slowly becoming the Colby of the season. Ah had won two Immunity Challenges in a row." Wally grinned. "Man, it feels great to be an Immunity hog! But now we have ta focus on making sure that Karen goes home!"
The six made their way back to camp. The humans brought up the rear looking upset.
"Hey!" Karen said getting the anthro's attention. "You are really going to vote me out?"
"Um, yeah. That is the plan." Stinky said.
"Even though we had gave you the majority that you Papi people rarely had!" Karen growled.
"We already explained it ta you, Karen." Wally scolded. "You betrayed our trust by voting for Stinky."
"I think I need a minute." Becky said walking over behind a tree and resting her head against rubbing the temples underneath her glasses.
"Becky had already explained our reasons for particular targeting him!" Karen scolded.
Allison crossed her arms. "Tell me. Did you even talked to Stinky?"
"Ew. No." Karen said sharply.
"Then, how could you be so sure that he is a jerk?" Allison asked. "You had spent so much time accusing him. He had changed now! Whether you believe him or not!"
"This is where I put my foot down. I am sick and tired of these people calling Stinky out as a bad person when in reality, they aren't any more pleasant." Allison said crossing her arms. "Those hypocritical comments had really been grating my nerves and I am going to show those two what I really thought about it!"
The alligator then stepped forward getting in Karen's face.
"You had done no work at camp. Had been mean to everyone. Verbally assault Wally. Arrogantly throw Challenges. And you have the nerve to try to use him as an Idol goat saying that he is a jerk?" She said angrily. "Okay, you know what? If you still think you are a good person, than go ahead, do it! But do it at the Juror House with Franklin and Tom but us people that are down-to-earth would like to live without your babbling."
Everyone stood slack-jawed and wide-eyed at Allison's outburst. However, Stinky gave a wide smirk. Karen was the most stunned. However, she quickly narrowed her eyes and gritted her teeth.
"You vile, disgusting beast that lives in a pink-dyed swamp!" She growled. "How dare you…"
Suddenly, she felt someone grabbed her arm. She looked down to see Becky looking up at her shaking her head with a stern look on her face.
"Don't talk back. You would just concrete your status "as a bad person." Becky said rolling her eyes.
"I should be the one using air talk." Allison said narrowing her eyes.
"It's okay, Allie." Stinky grinned. "Back off."
The white-clad girl obliged as the two girls stormed off growling.
"Man, do I love that girl! It is about time she showed selfish snob and that hypocritical brat what we all thought about them!" Stinky grinned. "It was actually BETTER than why she snapped at Franklin!"
Tigerlily watched the humans leave before turning to Allison. "What was with the Yandere moment?"
Allison chuckled as she scratched the back of her head. "Well, I had this anger growing inside of me ever since the revote."
"Well, that was awesome!" Wally grinned.
"T-Thank you… Even though I think I overdid it." Allison giggled. "But we have to get going. We cannot let those guys get ahead of us!"
"Right. We need to make sure that they don't go searching for that idol!" Stinky nodded.
"The plan is to watch Karen and Becky like hawks and make sure that they don't search for the idol." Tigerlily said crossing her arms. "That way they won't use it to vote us off OR caused us to make another revote with Becky going home. I still want to get through to her."
Karen and Becky both sat in the shelter.
"Ugh… I can't stand those freak-shows anymore!" Karen growled.
"Now, now. As much as I dislike them too, we should worry about saving ourselves." Becky explained.
"Right. We need the hidden Immunity Idol." Karen nodded. "However, those guys had been eyeing us like hawks on a hunt. They don't want us to find it."
"Maybe we don't have to find it." Becky said.
Karen raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
Suddenly, Becky held up a necklace with stones that were in the order of a rainbow.
"…Because I already found it." Becky smirked.
Karen's eyes bugged out. "W-Where did you find it? And when?"
"When you and the anthros were arguing, I noticed some moss-covered rocks at the side." Becky said. "While nobody was looking, I actually found it easily."
"I have to say… I am very surprised that I found it. I mean ever since the merge started, EVERYONE had been looking for the Idol. And it was just on the outskirts of the camp the entire time." Becky said in shock. "I still can't believe that we had all spent so much time searching INSIDE of the camp that we didn't search one bit of the outskirts!"
"T-This is splendid!" Karen smiled. "That means we could easily use it for a major blindside!"
"Yeah, but question is… Who do we vote out?" Becky asked. "I don't think it would matter if we get rid of a stronger player now and personally, I hate all of them equally."
"So do I." Karen said rolling her eyes. "We need to figure out the best person to vote out."
Becky nodded her head. "Whoever you choose, I will be with you 100%."
"Well, how do you like that? Instead of being the target, I am now officially the swing vote. Any freak of nature I choose to vote against will go home." Karen said smirking devilishly. "And the best part? Nobody knows that I am the swing vote!"
(Tribal Council)
The six people made their way to Tribal Council.
"Welcome, Shokan. Sit down." Tiny said.
Everyone obliged.
"We now bring in the members of our jury." Tiny said as the jury walked in. "Franklin, Schokolade, Greg, Red, Tea and Tom voted out at the last Tribal Council."
Everyone watched as the jury sat down. They noticed that Tom was dressed exactly like Ebenezer Scrooge complete with a top hat with black feathers and classy old-fashioned overcoat.
"Wally, apparently Tigerlily was supposed be the target at the last Tribal Council and yet you voted off Tom, why?" Tiny asked.
"We all talked about and we couldn't afford ta trust the humans so we voted off the biggest threat." The kangaroo shrugged.
"Like Tigerlily did anything trustworthy." Tom growled.
"You sound bitter." Tea said crossing her arms.
"Of course I am bitter!" Tom snapped.
"Becky, how do you respond to something like this?" Tiny asked.
"The only reason that they voted out Tom was because we voted for Stinky in the revote." The girl scout said crossing her arms. "Even though nobody would miss him."
"Oh, for crying out loud!" Allison said rolling her eyes. "For the last time, Stinky only reacted in self-defence against Franklin!"
"No, if he really did acted in self-defence, he would try to apologize to Franklin and get him to calm down but instead he kept winding him up." Becky said.
"More like the other way around." Stinky muttered.
"Shut up, Stinky." Franklin spat.
"No, you shut up." Red said flatly.
"Tigerlily, what does it feel like to reach the Family Visit?" Tiny asked.
"Oh, great! Seeing Hobbes on the island made me lose most of my stress on the island!" The tigress smiled. "Seeing a friend after so long makes you happy you are still in the game."
"I wonder which one of the idols I would had got if I made the Family Visit…" Tom mused. He then smirked. "I would had LOVED to see their reaction."
"Stinky, how does it feel that your boss could visit you here on Survivor and nobody would put it against you?" Tiny asked.
"Man, does it feel great? If you asked me that before, I could had been really worried that everyone would see me as a snake and waste no time voting me out but in the end, it turned out quite good!" Stinky smirked.
"So, Karen, I noticed that you actually TRIED today. Because you feel nervous?" Tiny asked.
"Unfortunately, yes. I am in the minority despite all logical reason." The aristocrat said crossing her arms.
"On YER part, anyway." Wally said rolling his eyes.
"Well said, Wally." Greg nodded.
"Allison, what about you?" Tiny asked. "Do you feel nervous?"
"No, I trust everyone right now." The alligator said.
"All right. It is almost time to vote." Tiny said. "Do you want to give up Immunity?"
"Aw, heck no!" Wally grinned.
"All right. You cannot vote for Wally." Tiny said. "It is now time to vote. Allison, you are up."
The pink-scaled girl nodded before she got up and walked into the voting area. She wasted no time writing down a name.
Tigerlily narrowed her eyes marching straight up to the table. She firmly grabbed her pen. "You are bringing out the worst in Becky and it is showing." She said holding up "Karen" to the camera.
Wally marched in taking the pen and writing down a name. After double-checking it with himself, he put it in the urn.
Karen smirked as she walked over to the voting table and grabbed the pen. "Get your disgusting tail off of here."
Becky skipped off towards the area happy that no matter what, her friend would be saying. "Personally, I would be happy if any of you left but this is what Karen wants."
Stinky put his hands in his pockets as he casually made his way to the table and grabbed the pen. "I am sick of using leaves to wipe the blood out of my ears."
He then ran back. Tiny then got up.
"I'll get the votes." He said walking off.
Everyone waited patiently for Tiny to make his way back with the urn.
"I'll read them out! Remember… Who…" Tiny started.
"Hold on, Tiny!" Karen smirked before holding a necklace. "I got something nice for you!"
Everyone looked wide-eyed as the teenager walked over to Tiny with it. She then gave it to him to examine.
"This IS the hidden Immunity Idol!" Tiny said. "All votes cast against Karen are null and void."
Everyone looked stunned as Karen made her way back to her seat with a wide smirk on her face. Tom then smirked.
"First vote, Karen. Does not count."
Karen flipped her hair in victory.
"Second vote, Karen. Again, doesn't count."
Becky sat proud that she had found the idol for her friend.
"Third vote, Karen. Null."
The anthros looked at each other in worry knowing one of them would go.
"Fourth vote, Karen. Void."
Karen's smirk had gotten bigger.
"Fifth vote, Allison."
Stinky's eyes bugged out as Allison hang her head.
"Fifteenth person voted out of Survivor and seventh member of our jury…"
Most were more shocked by the first non-void vote."
"…Is Allison."
"Allison?" Greg said with a raised eyebrow.
Tigerlily and Wally both looked confused as to why Allison went home. Stinky looked more shocked than confused.
"Allison, you need to bring me your torch."
The reptile shook her head as she got up with Stinky still looking stunned.
"Allison, I…" He started.
"It's all right, Stinky. It was not your fault." Allison said reaching down to the skunk and gave him a kiss surprising everyone.
"Wait! Did she just…" Tea said stunned.
"Does that mean that…" Greg asked.
"…I think I am about to throw up…" Franklin wheezed.
Allison gathered her torch and put it in front of Tiny.
"Allison, the tribe had spoken." Tiny said putting his snuffer over the torch extinguishing it. "You may now go."
"This was fun." She said walking off.
Tiny watched her walked away before turning to the others. "Allison had just got voted out by the Idol. It just goes to show that you are never safe in this game even though that you got the majority of votes. Learn this well coming into the finale. You may head back to camp."
All five people gathered their torches and made their way back to camp. Stinky brought up the rear looking down. Allison was the first one that made him feel at ease throughout the entire competition and now she was gone by two brats with an Idol.
"I think the main reason Karen used her Idol on me was because I spoke what was on everyone's minds to her and she didn't took it well obviously." Allison said shaking her head. "Oh well… I had a fun run. I had made a whole 36 days, I had grown as a person and I got a potential boyfriend. I know that I am already voting for him if he makes it."
RESULTS
Karen: Allison, Stinky, Tigerlily, Wally (N/A)
Allison: Becky, Karen
So Allison just misses out on the finale. She is one of my favourites to write for. Mainly because to act as a morality pet for Stinky and how even a shy frail-looking girl could be an asset. I wanted to do more on the romance but after seeing how everyone was saying that Violet X Bitsy was far too over-the-top, I wanted to make it subtle.
Note: Allison is one of my oldest fan-character. Her personality and back-story had changed quite a bit. However, she was always a clumsy, unconfident girl associated with the Chaotix.
Next Time… We are having our thrilling Finale! Who will win?
Becky The Naïve One
Tigerlily The Undercat
Wally The Joker
Stinky The Strategist
Or Karen The Brat?
Only The Finale Will Know The Answer!
