Survivor - Kodai Island
Chapter 37 - Day 29
(Alright, this chapter was supposed be to be posted yesterday, but then this chapter ended up way longer than I thought, so sorry for the delay, but it's here now for you all to enjoy.)
Alright, time to get ready for vote off number eleven (AKA, the fourth member of the jury). Targets at the moment are Bowser and Wii Fit Trainer, both having Secret Advantages. However, Wii Fit Trainer can not even play her Legacy Advantage unless she gets to the final six. Bowser on the other hand could use his extra vote if he's in trouble as people say, but that wouldn't be enough, because if those six stay solid, it's a 6-5 vote with Bowser's alliance still being in the minority, so it basically doesn't matter. All this means that something big needs to happen. Again. But if that's the case, then what?
Other than me announcing the next two competitors for "Emperors vs Knights", I can not wait to have you guys read what happens in this chapter. So with that being said, enjoy!

Day 29
"Come on in, guys!"
Ten down, ten to go.
It was not uncommon for fans to be excited about the fact that there were only half the players remaining in Survivor. They typically thought of the first episode representing the first day of the season to seemingly be released just the day before with twenty castaways from the beginning, and then there were ten. The game was not exactly reaching the end, obviously. Ten happened to be still a big number in a game like Survivor.
"Alright, you guys ready to get to today's immunity challenge. This challenge is somewhat different than the last three immunity challenges. For today's challenge, you will all compete in a series of rounds. For the first round, you will each dig for a peg and navigate it through a table maze."
He held all five fingers up. "The first five people that finishes move on to the next round, where you will then use four pegs to climb up an inclined wall. The first two that finishes will move onto the final round where they will then solve a slide puzzle. First person that finishes win immunity, guaranteed a one in nine shot at winning this game. Losers, Tribal Council where someone be the eleventh person voted out of Survivor where they will become the fourth member of our jury. We'll draw for spots and we'll get started."

"Alright, here we go. For immunity, survivors ready?"
Each individual of the Senshi tribe all stood behind a rope, getting into their own running position for a quick head start.
"...GO!"
And they were off, dashing to the individual, color coded flags for each person, signaling them where their pegs were. Almost immediately, Bowser had his.
"Wow!" Master Hand could not have helped the fact that he was amazed.
"Good thing I have claws..."
"Bowser already has his peg and he's moving onto the table maze!" Master Hand called. "...Wolf has his! They're both getting a good head start on that maze!"
The other eight knew that they needed to push themselves to their limit, especially at a challenge were castaways had to be eliminated to allow others to proceed. Lucario managed to get his peg moments later, followed by Mario, Ike, Sonic, and Link.
"Bowser and Wolf are about halfway through!"
"Got it." said Wii Fit Trainer, sprinting as fast as she could, Mewtwo and Pit quickly becoming frustrated.
"...Finally."
"...Whew, about time!"
"Everybody working on the table maze, now!"
"Come on, come on…" Bowser said working aggressively through the maze.
Within the next ten seconds, the koopa pulled it through and finished. He smashed the large green tile that was in front of him with his peg.
"Bowser moving on!"
O'Donnell then did the same.
"Wolf moving on!"
Unlike Bowser, Link's best interest was to keep his composure until the job was done; not panicking always played a part to his advantage, so it was no different for that particular challenge. However, by the time he made it, Ike had already beaten him to it.
"Ike and Link moving on!" Master Hand called. "One spot left!"
And that seemingly belonged to Lucario, since he managed to make up some time that was loss by not being one of the first to start on the table maze. He was getting close, and he eventually made it through and smashed his tile.
"Round one is over! Bowser, Wolf, Ike, Link, and Lucario are all moving on!"
"Is there at least a losers bracket?" asked Pit.
"Nope."
"Aw…"
"Alright, second round. Survivors ready? GO!"
Dashing forward, the five remaining players used their pegs to begin to make their way up the wall.
"There are holes that can guide you through this part of the challenge. Remember, you don't have to use all four of them... You don't even have to use any of 'em..."
"Like that's possible..." Ike mumbled under his breath. He, Link, and Wolf were the three that were in the lead initially. However, Link just had to make a mistake. He forgot about one of the pegs that he previously used to get up higher. Unfortunately for him, he had to backtrack.
"Oh darn…" There went his chances of moving onto the next round. Yet, at least he wasn't Wolf O'Donnell who ended up sliding down a little bit.
"Wolf is having trouble. Ike getting very close."
And he was getting closer and closer by the second, and ended up being the lucky winner of round two.
"Ike moving on! We're looking for one more!"
Suddenly, Wolf and Link's chances of making it to the final round with Ike came back, due to Lucario taking his time to get something going, and the possibility of Bowser messing up. Though the further he went up the inclined wall, the further his chances of slipping up decreased. And unfortunately, for the other three, it was simply too little, too late.
"Bowser moving on to the final round!"
"Oh no..." Pit stared mumbling.
"That's what I thought!
Wolf facepalmed with a sigh shaking his head. "Stupid… I could've made it..."
"Alright, let's move on to the final round." Master Hand announced. "Ike versus Bowser. Let's see how bad each of them want immunity. Here we go. Survivors ready? GO!"
They ran right to the puzzle to begin work promptly. Neither were used to doing slide puzzles at all, due to one simply not having enough (or any) experience, and the other simply having no interest in doing so. Thus, an inference could have been made that there was a fair chance of either of them winning the challenge.
"Ike and Bowser. Both have yet to win immunity, and clearly neither of them plan to go home tonight."
"Sure don't…" Bowser refused to take his eyes off his puzzle.
"Come on Ike..." Pit's eyes remained focused as well, yet at the competitor and not the actual puzzle of course. It was literally impossible for him to even see it judging by where he was sitting.
"This is going by really quick. It's gonna be close!"
"..."
"..."
"...Done, done, done! I'm done!"
"BOWSER WINS INDIVIDUAL IMMUNITY!"
"YEAH! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!"
Back on the very first sit out bench, Mario facepalmed in reaction.
"Wow…" Ike stared with a gradual head shake with hands on his hips. "I think I only needed a couple moves, and I would have gotten that necklace."
After the sigh, to prove his good sportsmanship, he made his way over to Bowser to shake hands. "Good game, man."
-/-
"Bowser, come on over."
With others clapping, Koopa did the same with a large smirk as he made his way over to turn around, allowing the host to confirm him being immune from the vote by hooking it around his neck.
"Bowser is safe tonight and guarantees himself a one in nine shot at winning this game. Losers, after twenty-nine very hard days, somebody will be voted out and will become the fourth member of our jury." He took a moment to look at Bowser and patted him on the shell. "It will not be you. Congrats."
"And here we have the worst case scenario. We really did not want Bowser to win individual immunity. Bowser winning immunity changes everything. Our next chance of getting rid of him has gone out the window and now we have to target somebody else!" A disappointed Pit stated.
Senshi
Day 29
"Of all the days here, at long last I feel one hundred percent comfortable. This takes a whole lot of crap off of my plate. Now I'm the king of the castle, hahaha!"
"Bowser winning individual immunity changes everything." Wii Fit Trainer explained. "It completely changes our team plan, and now we have to target somebody else from his alliance, which is probably Mario at this point. That's our next biggest threat. However, we have to make sure he doesn't do anything sneaky and pull anybody in. Bowser himself has tried getting rid of him before mulitple times according to him and it backfired twice."
"Okay, lemme get in the hammock. Nobody get in the hammock but me." The dragon-like turtle leaped right in, it being lucky enough to not fall down. "If anybody needs me, talk directly to my face. Other than that, I'm laying down until Tribal Council."
Mario rolled his eyes.
"I've won some things in this game before, but this thing right here…" He took a moment to use all of his fingers to tap the necklace. "...this thing right here hits the spot. All this long time and I finally get the chance to catch a break. I am one hundred percent making it through Tribal Council and coming back here in one piece. So guess what? I'm not bringing my stuff tonight. Nope."
Yet he sighed. "...Of course, as much as I want to just relax and chill for the rest of the day, which I will do, I'm still on the bottom. My alliance clearly has to get something going. Since Mewtwo flipped, Mario, Sonic, and Wolf are on the chopping block."
-/-
Instead of being in his usual comical, witty mood, Sonic the Hedgehog was instead worried and anxious, mainly in his eyes. He sat down in his usual spot in the shelter with a fist beneath his chin.
"Okay, so here's the thing. Bowser won immunity, so he's safe. He's one hundred percent not going anywhere. He needed that necklace since he was clearly getting the axe tonight. But then he won. Now there's a one in three chance that I could be going home tonight, even though I'm not the obvious target thanks to Mario. I bet my rings on him being the one to have his name written down by him being part of the original Sumasshu tribe and him being seen as the next big threat right behind Bowser since Kong left. But anything can happen in Survivor, so the last thing I wanna do is quit... I have to talk to him."
-/-
"...So it's me?"
"You surprised?"
"No I'm not, but it's me?"
"Yeah, I'm afraid..." Sonic shrugged his shoulders with a slight head shake. "Sorry, bro. It's just that your name has been written down so many times, the Tatakai Alliance finds it to blatant to ignore."
Mario still could not believe it. Of all the Tribal Councils he attended, his name always popped up at least once with the exception of the last tribal. It was as if the world was out to get him at that point. "...Okay, I'm not that mad or anything… even though I should be… But, what I have done to make me a big threat in this game? I have been thinking about this for the longest time. What have I done? All I did was try to convince Pit to flip a long time ago and that couldn't even happen because my team kept winning immunity. Even when we swapped for the second time. You were even there."
"I understand where you're coming from." Sonic nodded. "If it was me I would have said the same thing."
"I mean, I already had to deal with Bowser talking about me every five seconds back in the early days. Now even when we both work together I'm still public enemy number one? Ridiculous! Like I said, I'm not trying to get too angry but it's really irritating. Every time I turn around I always have to stay on my toes or else I'll be voted out. Look at Wolf. He flipped on them too! How come no one's even looking at him?" Mario just had to ask. "Mewtwo was not the only one that flipped in that Ganondorf vote."
"Maybe because they actually wanted to continue to work with him because for some reason they still find him to be trustworthy... or at least to an extent... But that's just my theory." Sonic lifted the palm of his hands up to the shoulders. "It's the only thing I can come up with. But I still believe he's definitely a threat, and the fact that not one person is after him is beyond me. We could try to throw him under the bus, but obviously we can't do that unless we just want to think about the next Tribal Council only. He put his tail on the line for us so it would be wrong for him to do him dirty. But other than him, there's me. I'm not the obvious target and I'm the least likely to go home in regards to the three of us, but that doesn't mean that I can't do anything."
"Mewtwo is not hopping back to our side, so he's out of the loop. I doubt Lucario will do anything. Mario doesn't think Pit will flip, so that leaves Link and Ike. ...But mainly it's Link that I needed to talk to. He did say that he apparently wanted to get rid of Ganondorf and was kept out of the loop. Sure, he could've just said that just to get rid of Ganon only to have himself stay with his old tribe, but then that would never have came out of his mouth. So maybe this is his chance to prove himself? Well, let's see..."
"Hey, before you go, who are we trying to get rid of? Is it still Wii Fit?"
"It's still Wii Fit." Sonic nodded in confirmation. "We want that advantage gone."
-/-
"You think we should get more firewood right now so that we won't have to worry about getting it later?"
"That seems like a smart choice, Sonic, but I'm already about to head back into the woods to get more coconuts for everyone, anyway."
Link and Sonic were now interacting as they were away from the camp, walking along the pathway through the woods. Luckily for the former, he caught the latter wandering off to explore. He wished he would have dashed right to him, but he could not have afford to gain any more attention to himself.
"So, where's Ike?"
"Not sure. I think that it's his turn to tend to the fire." Link suddenly stopped in his tracks. "Why?"
"...Okay, I'm just gonna get straight to the point." Sonic placed a hand on his head, only to lift it to face Link. "Mario's the one that's going home, right?"
"Actually, yes. Thanks to Bowser." Link shook his head at the thought. "Maybe we should have gotten rid of him in the pre-merge and instead be stuck with Fox. Now we gotta deal with him for at least one more challenge…"
"Yeah." Sonic smirked with hands on his sides. "I guess I can understand how it feels. Your number one enemy is now safe and you just can't get rid of the guy, huh?"
"Exactly. It's very annoying. I mean, do I really think it is necessary to just let Bowser have his way by winning his way to the final Tribal Council? Perhaps if I was with him it wouldn't have been a problem. But we're not. We're in two different alliances and now he can't leave..."
"...Here's my only question. Why aren't you guys targeting Wolf?"
"We would target him, but the thing is, me and Ike haven't been strategizing with him much until we swapped because on day one on Tatakai. The plan was to have everyone vote for Wii Fit Trainer, except for Wii Fit Trainer of course, but our tribe won the first two immunity challenges. We couldn't vote somebody out if we already won. So, we figure that in the future, we could hopefully have trust with him again."
Sonic blinked. Inside, he could not have believed that he was one hundred percent correct. Such a theory was not a theory any more, but a straight up fact. "...What about your alliance? Anyone you think you can't beat? Wii Fit Trainer does have the Legacy Advantage which everyone knows about, and we have Mewtwo the flip-flopper."
"And I think you're right." The pointy-eared survivor agreed. "In fact, me and Ike have been talking about Mewtwo and Lucario interacting with each other a lot more these days. Ugh… It's definitely something to look out for because he could flip again… No one will be surprised if he does, but it's when he will flip. That's where I get concerned."
"You thought of getting rid of him?"
"Of course." He had no shame in nodding his head. "We don't want him having as much power as he could possibly get. But, the one reason on why I wouldn't do it right now is because if Bowser keeps winning immunity, then it could be great danger for my game… But then Mewtwo could be even more risky. ...Ugh..."
"I mean, sometimes you gotta be risky on your decision making." He reminded watching Link facepalm himself. "I would be frustrated as well if I was in your shoes, but like I said, being risky is what you gotta do sometimes. Mewtwo on the other hand takes it a bit too far..."
"I know. This game is hard, and this is one of the many reasons."
"Yeah..."
"..."
"..."
"...You know what, I guess I could try to get something going with you, Sonic…"
"Really?" His eyes immediately widened.
"Me and Sonic had a one on one conversation in the woods, and we could both see where the other person is coming from. He's a good person to talk to. We discussed about the pros and cons of Bowser winning immunity and Mewtwo backstabbing every remaining player in this game. Unlike Sonic, I gotta deal with both of them. I was afraid of Bowser possibly winning even more individual immunity challenges, but it's nothing compared to how afraid I am of Mewtwo. At least Bowser does not flip-flop every time his name is tossed around. If he can be loyal to Mario, Mewtwo has no excuse."
"Really. One thing I will not allow someone to do is to dictate my game in the future just because of someone not thinking twice." Link raised a finger before folding his arms. "If I actually have a decent shot at making it to the end, I'd rather not have Mewtwo of all people being in the way. I could use him as a goat, but if he flips again, anyone could be targeted for whatever reason including me."
"I don't want to go against him so that he loses any trust he has with me, or the alliance in general. However, keeping Mewtwo could actually be a bad thing for me, because you never know with him. He says one thing and does the exact opposite. Yes, I could worry about him later just to avoid having a target on my back, but then I thought of one past reward challenge in particular. That 'Knowing When to Pull the Trigger' phrase lit a fire under me. If I'm gonna pull the trigger, ...that could very well happen. And if I have to jump ship just to save myself in the long run, then I have no other choice."
"You know what, at this point, I think now's the time to strike first. But, who's the one you guys want out now?"
"Right now it's best for us to stick with the vote for Wii Fit Trainer just because of that advantage. We don't think Mewtwo would flip immediately, so just write down Wii Fit Trainer, and talk to Ike to see what he thinks about it."
"Very well. I'll talk to him." He began to wander off. "It takes six votes to do it. Thank you for that conversation, Sonic."
-/-
"I'm sorry, but I don't think that's the right choice to make tonight."
"...What?"
When Ike was informed by Link about the option he had to make something big happen in the end, to his immediate surprise, it was rejected. Immediately.
"I'm sorry. I honestly would flip with you. Trust me, I really would. But right now, I'm a threat, you're one of my allies, and at this moment the best decision for me is to continue to fight for my friends. In this case, it's you, Pit, Lucario, and even Mewtwo and Wii Fit Trainer."
Link sighed. "You're actually right…"
"I know I am." He nodded. "Not trying to sound arrogant here, but my name have been tossed around a lot lately, and the last thing I would want is to dig my own grave by making myself appear even more a threat to the other alliance."
"Darn it…" Despite understanding his reasoning, Link was still disappointed. "I finally want to make a move in this game, but when I have the chance, Ike absolutely refuses to flip because he doesn't want to become a bigger target. Now, I have to come up with a different strategy to somehow get a person in my alliance to flip. Even though Ike was to me the most likely person to flip, it doesn't mean I don't have any other option. I have to do something. Me, Ike, Wolf, and Bowser all meshed together quite well back on Tatakai. ...And all four of us are conveniently still here. ...Hmm… Perhaps that could be good for my game?"
-/-
Link was then seen drinking from a coconut talking to Bowser, who was still in the hammock. Yes. When he said that he was going to spend more time in the hammock, he really meant it.
"Okay, so here's what happening with me lately. I'm trying to save your entire alliance right now, and I plan on jumping ship." He explained. "But there are ten people, and at least six has to have the majority. I want to flip, but I can't do that without Ike."
"..." All Bowser did initially was stare.
"...Uh..." He nervously scratched the back of his head. "Perhaps I should have worded it differently with much better buildup. Sorry..."
"...Link? ...Flipping? ...What? I... Alright, then. ...This day keeps getting better and better!"
"I don't know what's gonna happen tonight, but we should at least try to do something. Look, I'm speaking player to player here. I have went after you, and tried to get you out of this game multiple times." For Link's game, he figured he needed to be as honest as possible. "I know that. But, forgive me. I need you here, and I need Ike and Wolf here as well... For a while..."
"...What do you mean?" Bowser lifted his head.
"Okay, does anyone in your alliance have an idol?"
"Not that I know of..." He looked off to the side for a quick moment.
Link sighed. "Well, you and Wolf are at the bottom, and my alliance is not targeting him at the moment. But peoples' minds could be easily changed eventually when it comes to him. Even if I'm unable to get another person to flip, at least none of us four are walking tonight. We need to make a plan."
"..." Now Bowser Koopa had completely sat up with a single blink. "...Us four?"
That was when Link formed a large smirk. "What if we... could have a final four,... with you, me, Ike, and Wolf?"
"Now people are promising final four deals with me? Today must be my lucky day! Everything's going my way, which is exactly the way I want it to. Mario may be the typical generic underground hero out here, but I became the underdog on day one, got saved multiple times by Wolf, won immunity today, someone's flipping to my alliance, and now I suddenly have a big shot at making it to the end because people are trusting me even though I'm at the bottom of the moment. And most of all…"
Bowser smirked back. "I don't think we need Ike or anybody to flip. You're all we need."
"...How come?"
"Because…" His grin became evil within a split second. "I'm about to change the game."
"How?"
"Bowser Koopa is attacking tonight, people! Hold onto your kids because this is not going to be a smooth ride! Bwhahahahahahaha!"
Tribal Council
Night 29
Mario, Bowser, Sonic, Wii Fit Trainer, Ike, Wolf, Pit, Mewtwo, Lucario, and Link. Ten down, ten to go. Ten people left the game, now the ten people that were wandering in the tribal remained. Whatever emotion they had, they knew they had to be ready for it. It was Survivor for a reason. One million dollars was a lot to every last individual, so they had no choice but to give it their all every single day.
"We'll now bring the members of our jury…"
They all turned.
"Ganondorf, Bayonetta,... and Donkey Kong voted out at the last Tribal Council."
Mario looked at him with a warm smile, while Mewtwo had the nerve to not even face him, much to peoples' face, obviously including Donkey Kong himself. Typically in Survivor, whenever one turned on an ally, they faced each other straight in the eyes to own their decision making. Mewtwo of course, did the exact opposite like there was nothing wrong.
"So, we now have exactly half the players gone from the game, and we now have ten people left that have a shot to win a million dollars." Master Hand observed. "Ike, have the stakes been raised?"
"Absolutely." Ike agreed. "The stakes have already been raised since the merge, and people are all over the place trying to stay in the game as long as possible due to all the chaos happening. I was on the chopping block, Wii Fit Trainer got votes, Mewtwo flipped, and now the pecking order has once again changed."
"And speaking of Mewtwo and Wii Fit Trainer," Master Hand said. "they're both hot topics at tonight's tribal. Wii Fit Trainer let's start with you first. You were the one that got votes last time. Why was that?"
"Well, after we came back to camp that night, we were wondering whatever the heck happened, and Wolf revealed that I had my Legacy Advantage because he thought he had to right to just go through my bag like a cop."
Wolf rolled his eyes.
"And as you say, Wolf is already annoyed that you even brought it up."
"I mean, master, she doesn't know what Survivor is." O'Donnell defended. "You wanna know as much stuff as possible, and Wii Fit Trainer didn't have her bag with her, so I took the only opportunity, and me and my alliance that remained tried making the move, but it didn't work because someone's ego is almost as big as this entire island."
"Mewtwo, he's gotta be talking about you." Master Hand held a hand out. "I don't know whatever conversations occurred out on the island, but you were the one that flipped."
"Clearly." He nodded. "The thing about myself is that even though my name was tossed around, even though it was never their intention on getting rid of me, it is still best for oneself to have the desire make a move in order to remain in the game safely."
"But the keywords were 'it was never their intention'." Bowser butted in raising a finger. "It wasn't our intention blindsiding you. When we were trying to get Bayonetta out, what made you think that you were the target? Weren't you the one that helped getting rid of Ganondorf?"
All three members of the jury were locked onto what Mewtwo had to say.
"I am playing my game, you are playing your game. We have different gameplay styles, so we have to own up to it. It was my own desire to fight for my spot in the game, and I am confident about my place in it, now. I might have already been in a good position in this game, but it was necessary for me to make sure that I was even in more of a good position in this game."
"..."
"...?"
Literally no sound came from anyone, since each and every single person within the entire Tribal Council area all had their eyes on Mewtwo, even in his own alliance, including Lucario himself.
"...Thank you for proving my point." was all Bowser could say.
"When you are playing a game for a prize, you can not just advance yourself to the next Tribal Council. You have to advance yourself to the point where you think you have a pretty decent shot at winning."
"I think what Bowser is trying to say is that there are ways that you can advance yourself further in this game without just worrying about what's going to happen right afterwards, without doing what you thought was necessary." Mario said. "You didn't have to flip just to avoid having your name written down."
Bowser still never looked at his old tribe member. "Thanks... I guess..."
The plumber immediately rolled his eyes. "Wow, Bowser… We argue so much even if I'm on your side, you're still hostile with me."
"It is what it is. We'll never get along, and that's simple as it gets. I'm just glad that I have immunity today because I definitely would have got votes tonight. So if I'm not going because of it, and Mario might be, at least it's him. Don't think that I'm going to cater to you just because we're now in the same alliance. No, that's not how it works in my book."
"But you do realize you have to be at least civil with him, right?"
His head slowly turned to Sonic as if he had another. "...What?"
"You have to have genuine conversations with him in order to be you know, social." He elaborated. "If you don't, it's gonna make Mario not trust you. We're already in the same alliance together and we can't afford to mess up at a time like this. That is why... DK over there brought us all together and help each other take out a threat."
"And I might not be in the same alliance as you Bowser, but if I was in your shoes (which I know you do not wear), I would be rather um... elated to work with Mario, just because of the situation the two of you are in, no offense or anything."
"Whatever." He simply shrugged it off. "Whether you're right or not, it still doesn't mean that I have to like him. For all we know, after this we could very well never see each other again. We can come up to each other to have strategic conversations all we want and it could mean nothing outside of the game. I'm not gonna suck it up and start take a liking to him now."
"..." The plumber himself heaved a heavy sigh. "Well, at least we got somewhere..."
"So Bowser, like Mario, you are also at the bottom." Master Hand brought up. "Is Mewtwo perhaps running the show at the moment?"
"Probably so." He nodded. "He flipped on Ganon, and now he flipped on Donkey Kong. One was his ally and one was planning something to avoid a deadlock vote, but he flipped just for the sake of it, which I absolutely can't stand. But since Bowser Koopa won the challenge today, Mario is the secondary target and will most likely gets votes tonight."
"Again?"
"Yes." Mario nodded again. "Every Tribal Council I go to (except one), my name has always been thrown around for pretty much no reason. I didn't do much to make myself a target. Bowser was the first to toss my name out because he thought I was taking control of everything. Now we're working together and unfortunately this might be my last night unless people have other plans."
"And that's exactly what you want." Master Hand pointed.
"Exactly is right, master. I think to myself every single day, 'Mama Mia, what is it that I'm doing so wrong? Am I that much of a threat? Do they think I might get every jury vote or something?'"
"But in regards to other plans, that would basically mean that someone, including Mewtwo, would have to flip again." Wolf presumed.
"Once again," Mewtwo's annoyance level was beginning to rise. "you require as much security you can possibly get. I know I am a threat, so each day I have to give everything a hundred and ten percent. If that includes flipping repeatedly, then that is exactly what is necessary for you to do."
Bowser all of a sudden made a motion to Wolf to lean closer, to which he did since he was directly in front of the anthropomorphic turtle. Covering both hands, Bowser began whispering, much to literally everyone's astonishment..
Bayonetta had her hands over her mouth, while Donkey Kong uttered a few words. "Let the games begin..."
Wolf then got up, walked past Pit and then bent down to match the same height Sonic's, to which the hedgehog then whispered to Mario, completely disregarding Lucario in the process.
Mewtwo just folded his arms and shook his head with his eyes pointing at the sky, signaling that he did not even care anymore.
Sonic then hopped up to head to Ike, causing the rest of the human's alliance to watch.
"Are you voting with us tonight?" Sonic spoke with him face to face.
"Are you sure on this? Are we changing it or not?" Mario talked lowly with Bowser..
"Do you think we have enough votes, though?" Sonic all of a sudden was now with Wolf.
"Bowser just told me to stick to the plan." He promptly answered. "That's all he said. I don't know anymore. We're just gonna go up to the urn and vote to get it over with. Let's just sit down."
Right when Mario was seen being the last person heading back to his seat after Wolf and Sonic, Pit out of nowhere got up and wandered to Ike.
"What did Sonic tell you?"
"He just told me that I was safe tonight. Just stick to the plan and vote off Mario."
Lucario then got back up along with Mewtwo, who finally wanted in on the conversation. "I'd like to know what is going on…"
"Bowser's just getting desperate. Don't worry." Pit waved both hands in front of him, yet Lucario could see his anxiousness clearly.
"What if one of them has an idol that we don't know about?" Lucario asked. "Is that why this is going on right now?"
The dragon, turtle-like create was still murmuring to Wolf to reassure everything.
"Okay,... now Bowser's still talking." Pit pointed. "Should we change the plan? Save Mario for later and vote for somebody else?"
"If we are, then I would not mind doing that." Mewtwo sighed. "We can not even sit down for a simple tribal discussion. This is ridiculous..."
With a few more seconds passing, everybody finally ended their whispering conversations and were now all back in their original seats.
"...Wow." was all the host of the show could say. "Ike, what just happened?"
"From what I saw, Bowser got annoyed and started scrambling, and then it was all just total chaos." He chortled a little.
"What's wrong with whispering?" He asked. "Other people have done it."
"The thing is, you are already on the bottom. I figured that there would be no point." Lucario said. "Even though you currently have the individual necklace which you are one hundred percent not giving away, there is no need for you to scramble."
"Well, since I'm already on the bottom, I still think that we should send a message. There are a lot of threats out there, so everyone needs to continue targeting them unless you want your game to be messed with. Kill or be killed..."
"What do you mean by that?" questioned Wii Fit Trainer.
Eye roll. "...Master, we should vote."
"Definitely."
"Yep."
"Let's get to it."
"I'm ready."
"Come on!"
"Yeah, let's get this over with."
"...Alright." It was his turn to laugh. "All of a sudden it's a crazy tribal. Let's see how this is gonna play out. It is time to vote. Pit, you're up."
As the current three jury members all eyed Pit as he got up from his spot, he sighed shaking his head multiple times. Link, Bowser, Mewtwo, and Wii Fit Trainer all followed one-by-one.
"I don't know what just happened, but I think people should just calm down and have a cup of hot tea with honey."
Afterwards it was Wolf, Ike, Lucario, Mario, and then Sonic.
"I'm sorry, but you have to go. I feel that no matter happens, with you being in the game, it could cause some serious damage to my gameplay. I wanna win."
Once the anthropomorphic creature sat down, Master Hand 'nodded', concluding the voting session. "I'll go tally the votes…"
"Master,"
All eyes suddenly locked themselves onto Bowser, him standing on his two feet before pulling something out of his shell.
"I found this thing right here on day whatever, and I think now is the perfect time to use it."
"Okay. What do you have?"
"I have an extra vote."
That blew the minds of everyone except Link, who was simply watching.
"...What?" Pit was speechless.
"You're gonna cast it tonight?"
"I am."
"Alright." Master Hand 'nodded' once more. "Bowser has an extra vote, which means that he can vote twice at this Tribal Council. Bowser, you're up."
Walking past the stunned jury, he grinned proudly as he marched right back up to the voting urn to vote for a second time. Upon returning, the smirk on his face wouldn't let go.
Mario kept on staring. "Seriously?"
All he received was a rapid head shake. "I ain't playin'..."
"I'll go tally the votes…"
Wolf turned around to speak with Bowser briefly. "Where'd you find that at?"
"In the tool box."
The white large hand came back to place down the urn. "If anybody has a hidden immunity idol and you wanna play it, now would be the time to do so."
Moment of truth.
"..."
O'Donnell was the one that actually answered it with his head shaking.
"..."
Lucario watched everyone to see how everyone was going to react.
"..."
Mewtwo decided to simply stare at the ground with crossed arms, greatly annoyed at what just occurred. All he cared about at that point was going back to camp. ...If he survived, that is.
"...Okay." He said. "Once the votes are read, the decision is final. Person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes."
Opening the urn, Bayonetta grabbed Donkey Kong's shoulder with a grin of excitement.
"First vote…"
Sonic bit his lip.
"...Mario."
His head went back as he stared into the sky with a heaved sigh. Pleased, Ike nodded as he continued to wait for the rest of the votes to be read.
Mewtwo simply shook his head.
"...Wii Fit Trainer."
She threw her hands up in disbelief and annoyance.
"All that whispering for nothing, I guess…" Donkey Kong said.
"Mario's gone." Ganondorf hypothesized.
"What about the extra vote?" Bayonetta recalled.
"Mario."
"Wii Fit Trainer. Two votes Wii Fit Trainer, two votes Mario."
"Mario. Three votes Mario."
Lucario blinked and his eyes shifted to the plumber.
"We're tied. Three votes Wii Fit Trainer, three votes Mario."
"Keep on reading…" Wolf murmured to no one in particular.
"Mario."
"Tied again. Four votes Wii Fit Trainer, four votes Mario."
Mewtwo rotated his head all the way to Bowser's, who only glared in return. Mario slowly rocked himself side to side in his seat in attempt to relieve his nervousness, but no matter how hard he tried, his level of nervousness was still shown in front of everyone.
Link had a finger beneath his chin.
"Wii Fit Trainer."
Her mouth fell to the floor. Pit and Lucario glanced around at certain members of the tribe constantly, Mewtwo beginning to lower his head.
"Is she really...?" Bayonetta was near at a loss for words.
"Tied again."
At that point in time, Mario's eyes completely widened. Sonic was frozne still with Wolf, yet Bowser slowly lifted his head up with his evil smirk.
"Five votes Mario, five votes Wii Fit Trainer, one vote left…"
Ike all this time had remained silent.
"...Wait, so that means…" Sonic trailed off.
"Eleventh person voted out of Survivor and the fourth member of our jury… Wii Fit Trainer."
At least that extra vote was more fancy than usual. Bowser's clapped loudly. Wolf chose to do the same out of complete relief.
"You need to bring me your torch."
"Wow…" She slowly stood up. "You guys have just shown the jury that you all have absolutely no boundaries at all. Whoever flipped, I wish for you to be voted out next."
Pit took a glance at Mewtwo, who glared back at him harshly, causing him to promptly look back at Wii Fit Trainer.
Link just sat tall and straight as if he had no regrets.
"Wii Fit Trainer, the tribe has spoken."
Watching her torch being snuffed, she stared at it before shaking her head in great disappointment. Her new fellow jury members saw that, and it made Bayonetta whisper only so that DK and Ganon could hear.
"We are going to be one big happy family soon..."
"Time for you to go."
With that, she left down the stairs and out of the Tribal Council area.
"Well, I guess that's what you call unpredictability." Master Hand concluded. "I can tell that there's gonna be a lot of shocked reactions and a lot of confusion back at camp. Grab your torches, head back to camp. Goodnight."

10th Place: Wii Fit Trainer
"I had a great time here. I was not supposed to go home tonight, but somebody from my alliance flipped on me, and then there was the extra vote, which means that someone planned for this entire thing to happen. I don't know who did it because I don't wanna jump to conclusions and assume it was Mewtwo, but whoever did it, I find it to make no sense at all. When I find out who flipped when I come back as part of the jury, I'm not gonna give them my vote if they even make it to the end. Hey, at least I finally get to relax and perform my workout routines at Ponderosa. I have the Legacy Advantage, but I obviously can't use it anymore and I need to give it to someone else. So, because of him being one of the few people that I actually like and respect, I'm going to will my Legacy Advantage to Pit."
Castaways Remaining:
Mario, Bowser, Link, Mewtwo, Lucario, Wolf, Ike, Pit, Sonic
Wow...
Well, there's a couple things I can say. Gotta give credit to Sonic, Bowser, and Link. And also, at long last, after twenty-nine days, Wii Fit Trainer has finally left the game. So for those of you who were never a fan of her, hope you feel relieved that the great thorn in your side has been removed because of this lol. Sonic managed to convince Link to flip, and despite Ike not wanting to go with his plan at all, he still blindsides Wii Fit Trainer thanks to Bowser's extra vote. To me this has to be the most exciting vote off since Ganondorf!
Even though it seemed as if Bowser didn't need to win immunity, I'm now starting to think that he kinda did. If he didn't, Link would have been one hundred percent set on getting rid of him, and he would have been sent to the jury. So I believe Bowser won immunity at the absolute perfect time! I can't believe he has even made it this far despite being on the bottom since day two!
So anyway, I hope this late chapter was worth the wait! Now it's time to reveal the next two castaways that are set to appear in "Survivor - Emperors vs Knights". I hope you are all familiar with Luigi (LOL). He is set to appear and will be on the Knights tribe.
Now for the Emperors tribe, it's time to reveal the first wildcard castaway to appear, explaining the reason to why it's gonna be a crossover between Super Smash Brothers and Game X-over Fanfictions. ...Meet Freddy Fazbear from the Five Night's at Freddy's series. ...Yep.
I can tell that you all have quite a lot of questions. You can ask me in the reviews and I will reply to you either via PM or in the next chapter. All I can say is that Freddy will be an anthropomorphic character and not a robot animatronic.
Questions:
1. This first one is rather simple. Did the vote surprise you in anyway? Who did you expect to go home?
2. What do you expect to happen right after the castaways return to their camp?
3. What do you think of Wii Fit given her Legacy Advantage to Pit?
4. What are your thoughts on the latest revealed castaways?
Wii Fit Trainer's chapter for "Kodai Island - Ponderosa" will be released next Thursday. Vote on my poll if you haven't already of your top five players so far and I will see you all next week!
