Chapter 21: Tenth Tribal Council
Soul Tribe…
The Soul Tribe trudged back to camp, their minds already turning to the tribal council later that evening. One of them would be taking the flying leap into the tree, a trip none of them really wanted to take. That meant that a lot of B.S.ing, lying, cheating, and double-crossing was in their near futures.
And so our intrepid cameraman once more braves the horror that is the Soul Tribe in order to complete his job and pick up the six figure paycheck we promised him. The first one he corners is Gin, who just happens to still be suffering from amnesia after that nasty fall off the platform earlier.
(GIN ICHIMARU – Soul Tribe)
"Ah…well…that guy with the hat and black jacket and clogs is rather annoying." He scratches his head a bit. "But that orange haired chick, Orihime I think her name is, is just beyond annoying. She's also really bossy."
The cameraman next corners Ulquiorra.
(ULQUIORRA SCHIFFER – Soul Tribe)
"Since Gin is currently unaware of his surroundings it might be beneficial to eliminate Soi Fon from the game."
The cameraman next corners Grimmjow. It should be noted than since removing his jacket and wandering around bare-shirted, his fan base has gone up by 50 and the show's ratings have jumped by 64.
(GRIMMJOW JAEGERJAQUES – Soul Tribe)
"Well I'm not too sure who to vote for. Ulquiorra and Inoue are still very annoying, what with that whole 'couple' thing going on. I still don't care much for Soi Fon." Grimmjow pats his penguin plush toy 'Pingu' while pondering the ramifications of this vote. "I'm just not sure."
The camera returns to passive mode and finds Gin and Soi Fon sitting near the campfire discussing the future vote.
"Now Gin, that's you, who is it we don't like?" Soi Fon asked.
"Ulquiorra and Inoue?" Gin looks slightly confused.
"Very good." Soi Fon smiles happily and throws her arms around Gin's neck, and kisses him. "That's my good little snookems."
In an effort to keep this program viewable by the general public and pay our bills…here's a commercial!
Commercial…
"Do you feel tired, irritable, rundown? Just don't have the energy to get up and slay those pesky hollows that have thus far eaten your husband, brother, and dog? We have the solution for you…Adravil."
"Adravil will give you that extra boost of energy everyone needs when dealing with Hollows. Not only that but Adravil has been recommended by nine out of ten soul reapers."
"Trust a name you know, trust Adravil. Brought to you by Gotei 13."
"Gotei 13, always making the world peaceful every day."

Tribal Council Area…
Aizen looks particularly happy about this particular tribal council. This could be attributed to the fact that he simply adores suffering of any kind, but we're pretty sure that isn't the case this time around. We're positive it has something to do with what happens after the tribal council. No, not him being able to throw someone into the tree, although he does enjoy that immensely. No, his happiness is directly linked to what will soon turn the Survivor game upside down. However, we can't reveal that secret now, you'll have to wait until the next episode. Yes, we're sadistic bastards. Why do you think we hired Sosuke Aizen in the first place?
So while Aizen contemplates the secret that will be taking place tomorrow morning, the Soul tribe walks in and quickly takes their seats. Aizen smiles happily. As stated many times before this is one of his favorite parts of the game. The agony, the suspense, the crushed hopes of some unlucky victim. It's enough to make a treacherous bastard cry with joy.
"Alright Soul Tribe, you know the drill. Who is going to take a trip to the tree? Cast your votes."
Gin is the first to vote. He scribbles out a name and holds up the card.
"Um, sorry Ulquiorra, Soi Fon told me you were evil. Nothing personal."
Gin takes his seat and Urahara is next to vote. It quickly writes out two names and holds up the card, both names are the same.
"Inoue. You are a sadistic bitch. I do not like you, I never will like you. Go away."
Urahara takes his seat and it's Grimmjow's turn. He writes out a name and holds up the card.
"Ulquiorra, the whole Inoue thing is just sick and wrong. Take your sick sexual fantasies somewhere else."
Grimmjow sits down and Soi Fon takes her turn. She writes out a single name and holds up the card.
"Ulquiorra, don't like you, never will. Go away."
She drops the card in the vase and takes her seat. Inoue is next. She scribbles out the same name, four times and holds up the card.
"As I've stated before there is only room enough on this island for one kind and caring person. And since Rangiku is out, then I'm now voting for you, Urahara. So Urahara, you have to go, you're cramping my style."
Inoue drops the card in the pot and takes her seat. Ulquiorra is the last to vote. He scribbles out a single name, five times, and holds up the card.
"Soi Fon, you have outlived your usefulness."
He drops the card in the pot and takes his seat.
"I'll read out the votes." Aizen said. He then retrieves the pot, puts the pot in front of the tribe and quickly counts the votes.
"In order to speed things along I'm just going to announce that Soi Fon is tonight's loser. So Soi Fon…you are the tenth person voted out of Survivor. Bring me your torch and don't even think about flouncing or shaking your booty at me, it won't work."
Soi Fon sighs heavily, kisses Gin goodbye, and takes her torch over to Aizen. "Soi Fon, tribe has spoken." Aizen said. He puts out the torch with his ladle, picks her up, and tosses her over the railing. There is the sound of breaking twigs and a very loud OWWW then silence.
"Soul Tribe you may return to camp."
Aizen then breaks out into highly evil laughter as he thinks about the surprise tomorrow's episode will bring.
The laughter only causes the Soul Tribe to move out of the tribal council much faster…
In the Tree…
We find poor little battered and bruised Soi Fon tied to the same branch Toshiro was tied to before. It would appear that Soi Fon fell on Haruhi's injured leg when she was thrown into the tree and that Haruhi's retribution was swift and incredibly violent. This display of a very Aizen-like reaction has caused the others in the tree, with the exception of Szayel who is still calling her Mommy and Byakuya who now finds himself even more in love with her, to stay far from Aizen's niece.
Next Time On Survivor…
