Day 10

**Scene: The Kucha Camp: Enjoying the morning: 10:00 A.M.

"Well, things are going well this morning," Blink said.

"Yeah, no more work to do," Husk sighed. "Well, at least not as much."

"No one here to boss us," Monet said.

"Why is Monet siding with them? Ah thought they got into a fight," Rogue thought silently. Monet glanced over at Rogue. Rogue pretended she wasn't listening to the conversation.

"Um, everyone? Ah'm gonna take a walk," Rogue said as she started to stand up.

"Oh come on, Rogue. Stay. We were all going to head towards this little spring area. The water is so nice there. Don't leave," Scarlet Witch said.

"Ah'm sorry. Ah'll catch up with ya'll later," Rogue walked away with a lot of things on her mind. "Last game, if Ah'm not mistaken, Monet and Husk pretended to get into a fight. Later, the tribe discovered they still had an alliance. Hmm...Ah'm not surprised."

"Hey, Rogue. What are you thinkin' about?" Monet asked.

"A lot of things. Ah miss home," Rogue lied. "Ah miss the X-Mansion. Ah miss-"

"Cut the bull," Monet said. Monet moved away from the trees she was hiding behind. "I know what you are thinking. And, I know I can't fool you. After all, you and Storm were the final two last game. You were close to becoming the soul survivor."

"Yeah-"

"I know you know Husk, Blink, and I have an alliance. There's 3 of us, Rogue. I'm going to give you the chance to join our alliance," Monet said. "Either that, or you're the next target. And, don't try to go to Scarlet Witch or Quicksilver for help, Rogue. They'll think of you as a threat. Maybe Moonstar and Gambit will join you. After all, you three were in the Final Four last game. So, what will it be?"

"Ah'm not joinin'."

"Your choice," Monet walked away. Rogue sat down on the beach. "What am Ah gonna do now?" Rogue buried her face in her hands. "Mah alliance with Gambit and Moonstar is to not discuss who we want off. We have a non-voting alliance. What good does that do for me? Ah'll be voted off next if Ah'm not careful."

**Scene shifts to the rest of the tribe in the water

"Husk. Blink. Rogue refused to join," Monet said telepathically to her alliance.

"What? You told her we had one?" Husk thought.

"She knew all along," Monet said with her thoughts. "Before the others are aware of my concentration to talk with you two telepathically, I'm going to break the connection." Monet opened her eyes and ducked into the water. "This game is getting harder and harder," Monet thought.

**Scene: The Ogakor Camp: Sitting by the river fishing: 11:05 A.M.

"Well, here we are," Polaris said. "We're fishing."

"Yeah...what's your point?" Shadowcat asked.

"This is my point. You, Rachel, and I are fishing. Beast and Marrow are trying to move camp so the river doesn't destroy it. Cecilia and Psylocke are boiling water to clean our eating utensils, and then there's Skin and Sunspot," Polaris pointed to the two splashing each other in the water.

"They're becoming friends," Rachel said.

"That's not the point, Ray. They aren't helping out," Shadowcat sighed. "Well, you can't have a tribe with all workers. You have to have some goofs."

"I guess," Polaris said. "At least they do well in the Immunity Challenges."

"Yeah," Rachel said. "How many more Tribal Councils do we have to go through before the two tribes merge?"

"5," Shadowcat answered.

"5?!" Rachel placed her hand on her forehead. "Good grief."

Day 11

**Scene: The Kucha Camp: Preparing for the Immunity Challenge: 10:09 A.M.

"Everyone, head to the Tribal Council area," Storm flew down to the Kucha Tribe. "We will have poor weather tomorrow. So, the Immunity Challenge will be today."

"Why can't you just make the weather nicer tomorrow?" Blink asked.

"I won't use my powers to interfere with mother nature during the duration of this game," Storm flew off to tell the Ogakor Tribe the news.

**Scene: Survivor Outback: The Immunity Challenge: 11:48 A.M.

"Hello everyone," Storm said to the two tribes. "Since we will have bad weather tomorrow, Survivor is going to get you prepared. There are several arrows placed around this beach. All the members in both tribes, except for one Ogakor member, will go on a scavenger hunt. You will each be given a piece of paper requesting umbrellas, blankets, etc. There is one of each in the area. There are border lines marking the boundaries. When I yell time, everyone will report back here. The tribe with the most items wins Immunity. Not only that, both Tribes get to keep what they find. Ogakor, who will sit out?"

"Sunspot."

"Survivors ready?" Storm yelled. "Go!" With 15 minutes to spare, the survivors scattered in different areas grasping their request papers tightly.

"Water proof matches!" Husk said reading the paper. "An arrow with fire drawn on it. It tells me to head left! That must be where the water proof matches are!" Husk ran left. Near her was Rogue flying right.

"What's that Quicksilver found?" Rogue flew towards him.

"Rogue! I can't get this treasure chest open!" Quicksilver yelled. Rogue flew down towards the chest and grabbed it tightly. It popped open due to her super-strength. Inside were blankets. Before the survivors knew it, 15 minutes had past. Everyone met back up with Storm.

"Lets see here," Storm said. "Kucha's got the blankets, water-proof matches, and an extra tent. Ogakor's got blankets, an extra tent, umbrellas, and ponchos. Ogakor won Immunity again. Congratulations. Tomorrow Kucha, you will have to hike up to the Tribal Council area no matter rain or shine."

**Scene: The Kucha Camp: The long, depressing walk back to camp: 12:06 P.M.

"Another Tribal Council?" Scarlet Witch asked herself. "That's two in a row."

"This sucks," Husk said.

"Tell me 'bout it," Rogue mumbled.

"Well, lets not get all bent out of shape about it!" Moonstar said. The tribe just stared at her blankly. They eventually continued to walk ahead. 10 minutes later, they finally arrived back at camp. Rogue and Gambit walked over to the water.

"Remy, do you remember what happened last year when Monet and Husk got in a fight?"

"No, chere."

"Ah do. They pretended to hate each other when they still had a secret alliance. Being that Cable is a telepath, they might have seen him as a threat...because...he could read their minds and find out the truth. Ah bet Monet, Husk, and Blink have an alliance. But, before we jump to conclusions, lets try and find out for ourselves."

"Sure, chere. Shouldn't we let Dani know."

"Yeah, we should," Rogue said. Rogue called Moonstar over and told her the whole story.

"Too bad my telepathy is on the fritz. My mutant powers keep evolving as you know," Moonstar said. "Well, it looks like we have to find out the truth the old fashioned way." Moonstar and Gambit walked away. Monet came up from behind.

"Did they buy it?"

"Yep. All of it."

"I'm glad you decided to join our alliance, Rogue," Monet said. "Right now they think we have an alliance. That's great! If you get them to vote for one of us, they'll think you'll be voting against us also. That's when we'll surprise them. It will be their two votes against our four votes."

"Yeah. Ah'm going to take a swim, Monet," Rogue said diving into the water. Rogue then thought, "Ah'm not voting against Gambit and Moonstar! Ah'll let her, Blink, and Husk think that. When Monet's asleep, ah'll tell Gambit and Moonstar the truth. Hopefully, Monet won't be able to read mah mind."

**Scene: The Ogakor Camp: Eating dinner: 4:36 P.M.

"I'm so hungry!" Sunspot said as he got his rice.

"Yeah, well, you earned this meal," Shadowcat said with a smirk.

"Really? What did I do to earn it?"

"You did nothing," Shadowcat answered. Sunspot sighed as he continued to eat his rice. After taking a bite, he noticed fish eyes, and a fish tail in his rice. Skin had the same exact thing.

"What's the big idea?" Skin asked.

"You two wouldn't help around camp, so, we did some tinkering with your dinner," Rachel answered.

"Ah gross!"

Day 12

**Scene: The Kucha Camp: Sneaking out of the tent: 1:06 A.M.

"Quietly," Rogue whispered. Rogue, Gambit, and Moonstar tip-toed out of the tent.

"They have an alliance," Rogue whispered. "They think Ah'm part of it. When ah told you we had to do our own investigation, Monet was reading mah thoughts. Ah decided to tell you know while she was asleep."

"Okay," Moonstar whispered back. "So, one of them has to go. Either Blink, Monet, or Husk."

"Ah'm thinking Monet. She seems to be the leader of the alliance."

"Fine then, Monet it is," Moonstar answered.

"Lets get back into the tent before anyone sees, okay cheres?" Gambit suggested. But it was too late, Quicksilver was listening to the entire conversation. In the morning, he had some news to tell Scarlet Witch.

**Scene: The Kucha Camp: Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver talking in the lake: 8:16 A.M.

"Wanda. Last night, I overheard Gambit, Rogue, and Moonstar talking. They're going to vote off Monet," Quicksilver whispered.

"It's still early, no one is up. You don't have to whisper," Scarlet Witch said. "Anyway, if they're voting for Monet, then we should, too."

"Why? Shouldn't we vote for Gambit, Rogue, or Moonstar?"

"Monet's alliance was responsible for Thunderbird's leave. Right now, Monet, Husk, and Blink are the stronger alliance. We should break them down first, and then go after Gambit, Rogue, and Moonstar," Scarlet Witch suggested.

"Fine. So, we'll vote for Monet?"

"Yes."

**Scene: Tribal Council Cliff: Tribal Council: 8:09 P.M.

"Hello everyone. You're back already for another Tribal Council," Storm said. "Since we have some extra time, I'm going to ask you a few questions. Moonstar, has the game changed at all from the way it was played last year?"

"In some ways yes, in some ways no. With alliances, it hasn't changed. But, the game is getting harder," Moonstar answered.

"Do you have an alliance?"

"In a way, I think everyone here has an alliance. An alliance doesn't have to be a voting one, an alliance can be one or two people you trust."

"Monet, last year you were caught in a serious alliance, and you hated every minute of it. Are you playing the game differently?" Storm asked.

"I guess so," Monet answered. "Well, when you are in this game, your back can be stabbed faster than you can blink. You have to make sure you trust people in this game. I know I have bonded with Rogue and Moonstar. I trust them."

"But, what about Husk and Blink?"

"I had."

"With that, it's time to vote," Storm answered. "Blink, you're up!"

**The Voter's Choices

Blink votes Moonstar. Blink's reason: "Now that Rogue has joined our alliance, Moonstar is the biggest threat."

Gambit votes Monet. Gambit's reason: "It's time for her and her attitude to go."

Rogue votes Monet. Rogue's reason: "Well Monet, it was your mistake to trust me. And, you lied to everyone and said you didn't like Blink and Husk anymore when you still have an alliance. Ah'm not the stupid gal you think Ah am."

Quicksilver votes Moonstar. Quicksilver's reason: "My sister can vote for Monet. But I still think Moonstar should go."

Scarlet Witch votes Monet. Scarlet Witch's reason: (no comment)

Husk's vote is not shown.

Monet's vote is not shown.

Moonstar votes Monet. Moonstar's reason: "I voted for her last time, I'm voting for her again."

Storm walked over to the bucket and read the votes, "first vote: Moonstar. Second vote, Monet. Third vote, Monet. Fourth vote, Moonstar. Fifth vote, Monet. Sixth vote, Moonstar. Seventh Moonstar. Eighth vote, Monet. 4 votes for Moonstar, 4 votes for Monet. We have a tie. Everyone will vote again except for Monet and Moonstar. You have to choose one of them. Blink, you're up."

**The Voter's Choices

Blink votes Monet. Blink's reason: "I decided. I don't like playing the game this way. The guilty should leave. I am the guilty, Husk is the guilty, Monet is the guilty. We're playing this game with an alliance. It's a mistake. I know I'm going to regret it later. I know it isn't like me to stab my friends in the back, but out of Moonstar and Monet? Moonstar should stay. She's playing the game fairly. Monet's the one that isn't. Please forgive me Monet."

Gambit votes Monet. Gambit's reason: "I don't want to see Moonstar take the walk. I hope someone changes their vote to Monet."

Rogue votes Monet. Rogue's reason: (no comment)

Quicksilver votes Moonstar. Quicksilver's reason: (no comment)

Scarlet Witch votes Moonstar. Scarlet Witch's reason: "I guess no one wants Monet on anymore. So, if Quicksilver and I can get rid of Moonstar now, getting rid of Monet should be easy. I know Quicksilver voted for Moonstar last time, because there were 4 votes each. I hope he doesn't change his vote.."

Husk votes Moonstar. Husk's reason: "Monet will not leave."

Storm walked over to the bucket and read the votes again. "First vote: Monet. Second vote: Monet. Third vote: Monet. Fourth vote: Moonstar. Fifth vote: Moonstar. Sixth vote: Moonstar," Storm sighed. "Another tie. At a situation like this, previous Tribal Council votes will be counted. Moonstar you have had 2 votes in the past, and Monet, you have had 2 votes in the past. Everyone, you'll vote again. Moonstar and Monet are Immune to any votes. You cannot vote for them during this Tribal Council. Blink, you're up."

**The Voter's Choices

Blink votes Husk. Blink's reason: "If Monet's Immune, I'm going to vote for the other one in the alliance. That other one is Husk."

Gambit votes Husk. Gambit's reason: "She's the second most powerful of the alliance. I'm voting Husk off."

Rogue votes Blink. Rogue's reason: "If Monet's won Immunity, I'm going to vote off the one I don't trust the most. And that's Blink."

Quicksilver votes Husk. Quicksilver's reason: (no comment)

Scarlet Witch's vote is not shown.

Husk's vote is not shown.

Monet votes Gambit. Monet's reason: "He's the only one left before we move onto Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch."

Moonstar votes Husk. Moonstar's reason: "You're in the alliance, that's why you're getting my vote."

"Again. First vote: Husk. Second vote: Husk. Third vote: Blink. Fourth vote: Husk. Fifth vote: Husk. Sixth vote: Gambit. Seventh vote: Gambit. Eighth vote: Husk. 5 votes for Husk, 2 votes for Gambit, 1 vote for Blink. Husk, please bring me your torch," Storm put the fire out. "Husk, the Tribe has spoken. It's time for you to go." This left the entire Tribe in complete surprise. Last year's survivors never witnessed anything like this before. Three ties, and you win Immunity? Odd.

TO BE CONTINUED

Scenes from the next 3 days:

"Blink, why were there only two votes for Gambit?" Monet asked. "They're should have been four. I didn't really trust Rogue, but I trusted you."

"Well Monet, I don't like playing with alliances anymore," Blink answered. Monet walked away without saying a word.

"Monet! Come back! Monet!" Blink yelled.
