Pre-author notes: It's a weird title, but it'll make more sense when you're done reading this chapter. There are going to be lots of non-author cameos in this chapter, not only the Simpson guest, but characters from Invader ZIM, Pokemon, and Digimon Tamers. You're also going to hear the survivors' theories as to what the crystal subplot is. In case you haven't noticed, the challenges are slowly becoming more original and not completely ripped off from the real thing. Hopefully by the merge, the challenges will be completely original. Speaking of the real thing, has anyone been watching Survivor Africa? It hasn't been getting as good ratings as the previous two, but in my opinion it's getting better, especially the part way back when the six people switched tribes. This episode, there WILL be asterisks in front of every interview (The italics showed in ep. 3, so I didn't use asterisks in ep.4, and then the italics didn't show.) Well, enough with the endless babbling and on with the fic.

David: Welcome back, faithful readers. According to the (completely hypothetical) polls, last episode was the best so far. Probably because there was no crystal subplot. Well, you're going to be seeing a lot more of NOT seeing it (If that makes sense). It will be doing two things. 1: Heal any contestants when they suffer a major injury. 2: Play a huge part in the reward challenges, making it harder for the tribes to win the reward, and the beauty of it is I will be the only person knowing what the subplot actually does in the challenge. How will I know? Because I'm the author. I know everything about this fic.
Anyways, in this episode you'll find the answers to many questions about the American alliances, and you'll see the Japanese getting into the alliance game as well, with a good old-fashioned "Star Otaku"-like Digi-Poke rivalry. Of course, we'll be having some original stuff to prove this isn't a complete copy of other survivors…
(Rob comes running up to David)
Rob: David, a giant Sandiramon is attacking the Americans, and we never planned any attack.
David: Which one's a Sandiramon?
Rob: The deva from Digimon Tamers, the…um…big-ass snake!
(David sighs at the irony of it all)
David: Perfect timing. Why don't we check up on the Japanese first.
Japanese tribe day 13(Richie and Todd are alone talking)
Todd: Okay, I'm gonna be very straightforward about this and get right to the point. Want to form an alliance?
Richie: Sure, why not?
Todd: Great! I wonder why we didn't think of this sooner?
Richie: Actually, we both voted for Misty.
Todd: But we didn't plan on it.
Richie: Alright, now that we have an alliance, we need to target someone.
Todd: That's obvious, even for me. One of the digimon kids. I'm thinking Cody. We need Ken for the next few challenges so we don't have to go to council, but if we did go to council, Ken wouldn't have an alliance anymore, and we can easily vote him off once we've gotten rid of the Americans.
Richie: Your plan is easier said than done. We'd need to prevent Sora from joining their alliance, and get either her or Duplica on our side.
Duplica: Ooooh, alliances. Those are fun. Can I join?
Todd: Where did you come from?
Duplica: Just on my morning eaves…jogging.
Richie: Of course you can join. We're voting for…
Todd: (finishes his sentence) someone who we'll hate in three days. Now could you please leave us alone?
Duplica: Okay, bye. (She jogs away)
*Todd: I wasn't born yesterday, I don't quite trust her. That's why I can't let her know who we're targeting until I'm positive she won't mess up our plans.
*Duplica: I wasn't born yesterday, I know Todd's really voting for Cody. I may look stupid, but you gotta get up really early in the morning to pull one over Duplica Imite.
(Jogging back to camp, Duplica trips over a well-placed rock. Zak walks by.)
Zak: Did I get up early enough?
Duplica: That wasn't very funny.
Zak: Funny is in the eye of the beholder. Anyway, what are you doing now? Trying to be the "dark horse" by saying you are in Todd's alliance and then say you are in Ken's alliance, then purposely lose immunity and blame it on the Americans, so you can actually vote for Sora at tribal council?
(Duplica stares at him oddly)
Duplica: When did you have the time to think that up?
Zak: Actually, stuff 10 times as complicated as that has happened at the American tribe.
Duplica: Wow, I wonder what's going on there right about now.
Zak: Yes…it would be very…nice…to know…what…is going on…at the American tribe…right now.
Duplica: (Monotonous) Yes…it would…be very nice…(In aloud voice) IF THE PEOPLE READING WOULD BE ABLE TO KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON AT THE AMERICAN TRIBE.
Cameraman: Yeah, I wish there was some person who could, I dunno, video-tape what was going on at the American tribe so we could all find out what's happening. Too bad there's no cameraman or anything around…hey wait a minute.
Zak: How much is David paying these people?
American tribe day 13(Ace is making a chart in the sand, much like what Tai did in Animation survivor)
Ace: Let's see, I voted Bart. I don't see Bart's alliance breaking anytime soon, which means they all voted for Emmitt. Knowing Reggie, she probably voted Bart. That leaves Edd voting for either Bubbles or Amy. But how can I find out which one if he flipped a coin to decide. This will take some thought.
(Cut to Ace, 10 minutes later, flipping a coin.)
Ace: Tails. That means he voted Amy. So…who won?
(Ace goes over to Edd.)
Edd: By looking at your facial expression, I see you figured out who I for. So from now on you're going to trust my strategies?
Ace: What are you talking about, Amy didn't get kicked off. We're using my strategy.
Edd: Well, Bart didn't get voted off either…wait a minute…(Having realized something, he is ecstatic) BART DIDN'T GET VOTED OFF EITHER!!
Ace: I can't wait to hear what you're about to say.
Edd: It happened yesterday when we had finished talking. I was walking away, and then I heard Reggie and Emmitt.
Ace: So.
Edd: Think Ace. Two people alone…no one is there. Wait, I really should rephrase that. 2 people alone THE DAY OF TRIBAL COUNCIL.
Ace: An alliance.
Edd: Bingo. And I heard them talking about something called Triple B.
Ace: A code of some sort. But what does it mean?
Edd: It took me a while, but with my code decipherer luxury item…
Ace: Aren't you only allowed to bring one luxury item?
Edd: Yes, so?
Ace: (To himself) I guess this show needs a lawsuit to match with Utonium vs. AA. (To Edd) Never mind, continue.
Edd: I found out BBB is an acronym for…Bye-bye Bart. So then, I was almost positive I was going to lose the bet, but then Emmitt or Reggie voted for Bubbles! Can you believe it? I mean, they were swearing they wouldn't break the alliance, then one of them does. They're so stupid. But they helped me, because now we're using my strategy.
Ace: (Thinking) Edd, Emmitt voted for Bubbles and I don't think he did it on purpose. It was a huge mistake and I can prove it. C'mon, we have to talk to Reggie.
*Edd: I have no idea what Ace is talking about, but if he can prove it was all a mistake, that's bad for me. He just doesn't understand the fact that Bart is not a threat yet. He's powerless without Bubbles and Amy, and if I can vote off his partners first, my chances of winning will greatly improve. Breaking the alliance with Ace is the last thing I want to do, but as the merge gets closer, I feel like I'm caring more about myself than my friends.
(As they walk out of the camera's view, Rob commentates.)
Rob: If I didn't know what was going to happen next, I'd be as confused as hell. And from what I've heard, hell is very confusing. But everything will eventually tie in, and everyone in the tribe will be greatly affected in some way. And throughout all this confusion, there will be something in the tree mail that brings a lot more confusion.
Let's go to the Japanese's reaction.
Author's note: What's the tree mail about? Cough…READ INTRODUCTION…cough…TRIBAL MESS-UP…cough.
(Japanese tribe. The digidestined castaways are checking for tree-mail.)
*Richie: They're doing more than checking for tree mail, that's for sure. They're most definitely forming a counter alliance. The most us pokemon trainers can hope for is that they don't know they have anything to counter.
Ken: So are you in or not?
Sora: I don't really like the idea of a feud between our show and theirs. Why don't we just vote for who we hate?
Cody: Because we hate the pokemon kids. Besides, it'd be great to have a winner from our show.
Sora: I've won, Tai won, Kari won 2nd place, TK won 3rd, that's about as good as you can get for one show.
Ken: Well you can't just give up, what happened to the optimistic Sora who convinced everyone they'll do fine?
(Sora is obviously upset by this whole discussion.)
Sora: She's on the other side with the Pokemon kids.
(Not wanting to talk anymore, Sora runs away.)
Cody: Is Sora against us?
Ken: I don't think she wants to be, but she is. In AS1, she was trying to help Serena survive, even though Serena was the weakest link at the time.
Cody: So, who's she trying to help survive now?
Ken: Duplica.
Cody: So you're saying she cares less about us, the people who were with her in saving the world, than Duplica, her opponent who she's known for less than two weeks?
Ken: I have no idea. She probably wants to befriend everybody, so no one votes for her.
It may have worked once, but trust me Cody, it's not going to work again.
Cody: Well, why not?
Ken: It'll work for a while. She'll make it to the merge. But what happens when it's just us Japanese left after the merge? It's a no-win situation. Say Pokemon has the advantage against us. She's not in our alliance yet, and they'd make sure of it by voting her off. But say she joins up with us, and it's you, her, and me in the final three, and you win immunity and cast the deciding vote. Is it for me, the person who helped you get this far and have a chance at winning, or her, who has befriended everybody on the jury and will have a 95% chance of winning?
Cody: Her.
Ken: Exactly. And that's why she can't and won't win, I guarantee.
(They see mail with a map.)
Cody: Hey, we do have mail, how do you know exactly when to check?
Ken: My sundial wristwatch that I invented out of seemingly useless junk. Here, read the mail.
Cody: From your tribe, you must select three.
They must follow the map which leads to me.
I will then explain all you need to know.
Just make sure you bring your survivor logo.
The rest is a secret, I'll tell you no more,
Except it's something that's never happened on survivor before.
Ken: What could it be?
Cody: I don't know, you're the genius.
Ken: I'm gonna see what the others think of this letter. Maybe they have ideas.
(Cut to the rest of the tribe with Ken and Cody looking at it.)
Richie: What do they mean by survivor logo?
Sora: It might mean our flag.
Duplica: Hey, maybe it's a three-on-three game of capture the flag.
Todd: Yeah, a reward challenge.
Ken: Well I don't have any better ideas. So let's assume Duplica's right.
Duplica: I love that game, I win all the time.
Cody: How?
Duplica: It's a secret, but it always works. I should be one of the three people to go.
Ken: I'm fast and agile, I should go also. Who wants to be the third person?
Todd: I will.
Sora: Sounds like a winning combination.
Cody: Now go out there and win whatever the reward is.
(They all cheer and high-five, then Ken, Duplica and Todd, walk off screen.)
Cody: You know there's no way Duplica's right.
Richie: Of course.
Sora: It was just for morale, I'm sure Ken and Todd know it's something else. Duplica is a tricky person, but after 12 days with her, you'd have to be an idiot to fully believe what she says.
(Todd comes running back.)
Todd: We forgot the flag. Good thing I just remembered. (He runs away.)
Sora: Well, he's not a complete idiot if he at least remembered it.
Todd: (VO, to himself) Now where should I hide the flag, maybe under a rock…nah that wouldn't work.
Sora: I stand corrected.
Richie: A-hem.
(Sora silently hands over a 10 dollar bill.)
Sora: Stupid Hobbes.
Richie: Yeah, you never learn when to quit those betting hobbies do you?
Cody: Richie, I think you're gonna make a million dollars even if you don't win.
Richie: They don't call me Richie for nothing.
(American tribe. Bart and Bubbles are looking at the note.)
Bart: Do they mean real survivor, or survivor knockoffs?
Bubbles: Maybe both?
Bart: Well, that narrows it down. But I still don't know what it could be?
*Bubbles: Bart thinks it's a reward challenge, which makes sense because there's always a reward challenge around this time. But it's going to be something else too, that will mess up the whole game. Maybe the three people will have to switch tribes until the merge. But that's a dumb idea. That won't happen.
Bart: Alright team, Bubbles should go, because she's good at physical challenges.
Bubbles: Um…Bart?
Bart: Not now, Bubbles. Ace should go because he's good at mental challenges.
Bubbles: Bart!
Bart: Please, Bubbles, be quiet. And Reggie should go, because her team spirit will surely lead us to victory.
Bubbles: BART!!!
Bart: (aggravated) Bubbles, how can I rally the troops when you're constantly interrupting?
Bubbles: There are no troops to rally.
(We see no one is there.)
Bart: Heh-heh. Just practicing for when they get back. A team leader has to plan everything ahead of time.
Bubbles: (To herself) Including excuses for messing up.
(So where is everybody. Well, Amy and Reggie are in the woods, arguing.)
Amy: LIAR!
Reggie: Amy, will you chill out, I do not break promises and I didn't this time.
Amy: Oh, really? Then how come I got a vote? No one has anything against me except you.
Reggie: I didn't vote for you, I voted for Bart.
Amy: You promised you wouldn't vote for me, and then you go break your promise like it never happened.
Reggie: Amy, you're not listening…
(As they continue to bicker, we see Ace and Edd are listening, because they were looking for Reggie, and accidentally stumbled upon this argument. They are unnoticed for now.)
Edd: Ace, this is not good, not good, this is DISASTROUS!
Ace: Quiet, Edd.
Edd: But what if they both find out that I voted for Amy? Everyone will be against us.
Ace: I think they're almost done arguing, just let me do the talking and try not to panic.
(Back to Amy and Reggie.)
Amy: …so you better watch out Reggie, because I'm in an alliance. And it just so happens that Bart doesn't like you very much. If I were you, I'd try to win immunity, or you'll be off Australia faster than you can say "futurama".
(Amy leaves, angry and confident.)
Reggie: I am in soooo much trouble.
*Reggie: I didn't realize this until now, but Amy has a dark side. And I'm going to have do everything I can to keep that side from emerging again.
(Ace and Edd walk up to her.)
Ace: Reggie, about your alliance with Emmitt…
Reggie: How did you find out?
Ace: Edd overheard you talking about it.
Reggie: I guess I can talk to you about it, since it doesn't matter anymore.
Edd: So what happened?
Reggie: Emmitt backstabbed me by voting for Amy, and it must have backfired, because he got voted off. I don't see how though. Amy told me she would vote for me along with Bart and Bubbles. She must have changed her vote to Emmitt, but why would Bart go along with it? Even though I didn't get voted off, with Emmitt gone, I have no chance of winning, because Amy doesn't believe me when I said Emmitt voted for her.
Ace: Reggie, there's something you need to know. It'll explain why Emmitt betrayed you, or rather you betrayed him.
Edd: (Quietly) Ace, that's enough, she's going to find out.
Reggie: But I didn't betray him. I voted for Bart, just like he said.
Ace: Did he say it?
Reggie: Hey, you're right. He never said Bart specifically, he just said returning champion, but since Triple B stands for "Bye-bye Bart", who else could it be?
Ace: Bart's not the only contestant who has a "B" in their name.
Reggie: (Astonished) You're right. Bubbles! He voted for Bubbles!
Ace: From what I can tell, you thought the B meant Bart, and Emmitt thought the B meant Bubbles. And they're both returning champions. In fact, right now, Emmitt is thinking you betrayed him.
Reggie: So why did Bart and Bubbles vote for Emmitt.
Ace: I don't know.
Reggie: There's still a piece missing in this puzzle. If Emmitt voted for Bubbles, who voted for Amy?
Edd: (sighs) That'd be me.
Reggie: So it's your fault I'm going to be voted off.
Edd: Ace, it's all over. I don't have a prayer.
Reggie: I guess I owe you one for helping me understand a few things. I know what we can do. Let me join your alliance.
Ace: You know what? That would work.
Edd: Yeah, we have no votes against us.
Ace: You're in, Reggie.
*Ace: Our chances for winning have improved once again.
(As the three enter camp, Bart is waiting impatiently.)
Bart: Took you long enough, we got reward challenge mail.
(10 minutes later, we see Bubbles, Ace, and Reggie are arriving at the location on the map. Duplica, Ken, and Todd are there also, as well as David and the Simpson guest, the Comic Book Guy {CBG}. You should know CBG is a comic book fanatic and computer nerd, as well as a trekkie. He is overweight and always speaks with a tone of sarcasm in his voice.)
David: Hello, castaways. Before we start, I'd like you to meet our Simpson guest, the Comic Book Guy.
CBG: Oh, hello there, little starving people. You know, David, I find your selection of contestants quite absurd. I mean, why put a superheroine on the team, she can just use "super light speed" or something to escape from this place and bring back any necessary equipment and food.
David: Not without being disqualified she can't.
Ace: How come we never thought of doing that.
Bubbles: I don't know, you're the genius.
David: Just be glad you didn't think of it. Now, about why I summoned you here. Any idea why? Japanese?
Japanese: Capture the flag.
David: Americans, any idea why?
Americans: No.
David: I'd give that round to the Americans.
Todd: That was the challenge?
David: No, but if it was, no answer would be better than your answer. You're here for two reasons. First reason, tomorrow's reward challenge. You have the rest of the day to build a stretcher. If you don't build it, you forfeit the challenge. Which brings me to the second reason. I'll be taking both of your survivor flags.
(They hand the flags over)
CBG: Hold on, just wait a minute. I'd like to explain something to the readers out there. You may have been watching survivor: Africa a few weeks ago. While I encourage you NOT to watch it, if you have, you'd know about six people switching tribes in episode 5. While it looks like this is going to happen right now, it is NOT. It is a fate much, much worse.
David: Well put, CBG. LAND THE HELICOPTER.
(Rob and Zak are piloting a helicopter, and they land it in front of David.)
Zak: Are you sure we don't need a license for this?
David: Of course not. Americans meet your new tribe member, Professor Nucleus Membrane, from the show Invader ZIM.
Membrane: (VO) Actually, it's Nicholas, but Nucleus sounds much more scientific.
(Professor Membrane steps out of the helicopter. He is wearing a huge lab coat that goes just below his eyes, which are obscured by goggles. He is bald except for a long, thick, black zigzag spike of hair in the middle of his head. He is wearing rubber gloves.)
Americans: Huh?
David: Professor Membrane will be part of your tribe from now until the immunity challenge is over on day 15. You must provide him with food and shelter. In return, he will help you in building the stretcher, since you don't know jack about how to build one.
I've explained to Membrane everything he needs to know.
Membrane: That's right. Now you have to…OH, DEAR GOD. (He looks at Bubbles.) A flying demon! (Then Reggie) Purple haired monster! You didn't tell me my partners are FREAKS.
David: They're just from parallel universes.
Membrane: Oh, OK. Come then freaks, and show me your freakish ways. Goodbye David and strange fat yellow man.
(The Americans walk back to camp.)
David: Wait, you forgot the flag.
CBG: And I'm not strange.
David: Some tribal leader, he forgot to take the dumb flag. Then again, maybe the Americans are better off without him being the leader.
Todd: Excuse me, but is that what you called us here for? To watch the Americans get a new tribe member?
David: Well, you get one also. Japanese, meet your new tribe member, Dr. Proctor, from Pokemon.
(Dr. Proctor steps out of the helicopter. There is nothing unusual about him, but he is wearing a lab coat, which contains many types of medicines.)
David: Dr. Proctor will assist you in building the stretcher, and you will assist him in surviving in the outback. As a bonus, I have allowed him to give each of you medicine to prevent malnutrition.
Duplica: Cool! What's malnutrition?
Ken: Same thing as starvation.
Duplica: Oh, okay. I think you're too late doc.
Proctor: Don't worry, you'll be fine. Here, I'll give you the first shot.
(Proctor takes out a hypodermic needle from his lab coat.)
Duplica: AAAAA. I hate shots. Get away from me.
(She kicks him away, and he accidentally stabs himself with the needle.)
Proctor: Ow. I'll be okay.
Ken: I don't think that stuff prevents malnutrition.
Proctor: (Looks at the needle) You're right, I took the wrong one.
Todd: So what medicine did you just have injected in yourself?
Proctor: I think it's anesthetics. I'll just be asleep for a few hours or daaaays…ooorrrrrrr…
(Proctor falls asleep)
David: Oh that's the third time this week. Well, here's your substitute tribe member, Nurse Joy.
(Nurse Joy steps out of the helicopter.)
Joy: Trust me, I won't be joyful when I'm through playing this game. But I'll try.
Todd: So are you the Viridian Joy, or the Fuchsia Joy?
Joy: I'm neither.
Duplica: You must be either the Olivine Joy, or the Goldenrod Joy.
Joy: Guess again.
Ken: Based on their answers, you must be a Chartreuse Joy or a Rhododendron Joy.
(Everyone stares at Ken oddly.)
Ken: Is there something I'm not understanding?
David: Yes, and to settle things, she's an Australian Joy. Understand? We're in Australia. Now go to camp and get to work. You have less than 24 hours left. This time, don't forget the flag. (David hands the flag to Joy) You are now the Japanese leader. But you can't just boss them around, because they control the food supply. Good luck.
(The Japanese walk off into the distance.)
CBG: Does my appearance have any significance in this plot?
David: I promised you that holofoil Tyranitar card.
CBG: (embarrassed) Shhhhh. I laugh at the kids who buy those, I have a reputation.
(At the American tribe)
Membrane: … that is why aliens will eventually capture our planet and throw it into their huge green sun.
Reggie: And we just got rid of Emmitt.
(Bart, Amy, and Edd see Membrane and are surprised)
Bart: What the hell? Who's the freak?
Membrane: More freaks? Where?
Bubbles: This is Professor Nucleus Membrane.
Edd: What kind of name is Nucleus?
Membrane: Actually it's…OH I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE. Nucleus isn't my first name and neither is Nicholas. MY LIFE HAS BEEN A LIE.
Amy: So what is your first name?
Membrane: PROFESSOR. It's awful. I didn't want to be a scientist, but my parents named me professor, I had no choice.
Amy: Oh, I know you. You're famous in the year 3000.
Membrane: You're a future girl? I never thought I'd see one. How am I famous?
Amy: Your TV show "Probing the Membrane of Science" greatly advanced our technology. That's how the future is so futuristic. You have the longest running prime-time series ever, 1,010 seasons and counting.
Bart: Well, there goes my lifelong dream.
Membrane: You mean I'm still alive in the future?
Amy: Your head is.
Membrane: Oh.
Edd: So why are you here?
(Bubbles, Ace, and Reggie explain the situation.)
Bart: So if you're the new tribe leader, where's our flag?
Membrane: No one told me about any flag.
Ace: That means you're not the leader.
Bart: (to himself) Thank God.
Membrane: Well, we should get started. I made some grayprints.
Edd: Don't you mean blueprints?
Membrane: It's only blueprints if it's printed on a blue object. The grayprints are on that 2-ton boulder near your camp entrance. (Pointing to Bubbles) Why don't you get it, cute little freak?
Amy: Does it matter who gets it?
Membrane: Yes, she's the only one who can bring it back.
(Bubbles flies off to get it.)
Bubbles: (VO) I see the boulder bur I can't find the grayprints.
Membrane: They should be written right on the top, I hope they weren't erased.
Reggie: You literally wrote the grayprints on a two-ton rock?
Membrane: I had no paper.
(Bubbles is struggling to bring the rock)
Bubbles: This…is…heavy.
(She drops it on the shelter accidentally. She quickly picks it back up. Surprise…the shelter is intact.)
Membrane: Is that shelter glued together?
Ace: Yes.
Membrane: Hmmm…that glue is strong. Maybe I'll feature it on my next show. Of course I'll take the credit for inventing it.
Ace: (Sarcastic) It'd be an honor.
*Bart: I can't say much about Membrane. He's a weird character, but I think he at least knows what he's doing.
Reggie: What is up with that guy?
*Edd: Professor's smarts, combined with my common sense, may lead us to victory in the challenge.
*Bubbles: I think Professor Membrane is doing his best, but I think he hates us. He called me a freak, for crying out loud. (On the verge of tears) I'm not a freak, am I?
*Ace: He offered to feature my super gloppy glue on his show.I remember something like this happened on an episode of "Seinfeld". Not a happy ending.
*Amy: He seems crazy right now, but he'll get surgery a few centuries in the future.
*Membrane: How can I work with these kids when I can't accept the fact that they're not freaks?
(At the Japanese tribe, Sora, Richie, and Cody have been explained to about the challenge, and have been introduced to Nurse Joy.)
Joy: I'm sorry that I don't know much about how to build a stretcher, but I promise to put in my best effort. First, what is the stretcher supposed to be holding?
Richie: Did David tell you?
Todd: He didn't mention any thing except we had to build a stretcher.
Sora: I bet we have to carry our tribe members to a finish line or something like that.
Joy: I like that idea. We'll have to design something to carry the heaviest person on our tribe. I can come up with something good enough, why don't you kids go collect the necessary materials. (She hands them a list) Here's a list of what to get that I made in advance. Now hurry, time's a wasting.
(The Japanese each run off in separate directions.)
*Joy: I know we can win this challenge. Everyone here seems cooperative and teamwork is what helps you get farther in a reality show. Except "The Mole". That's why I wasn't a cameo on that show.
*Cody: I don't understand why Joy and Sora assumed we're going to have to carry tribe members on the stretcher. We assumed this was going to be capture the flag and look what happened.
*Todd: There's only one downside to having Joy around. It's much harder to talk about alliances. Maybe she's also supposed to eavesdrop on alliances and tell the info to other alliances. It would definitely affect tribal council, and she can't even get voted off, so there's no way of threatening her.
*Ken: Todd told us about his theory, and although it does seem like something David might do to mess us up, I think he's just being a little paranoid.
*Duplica: It's too bad Joy isn't a permanent tribe member, she'd be great to have in an alliance with me and Sora.
*Sora: I don't really have much to say, except she's certainly doing her job as a tribe leader.
*Richie: From what I know about all the Joys, they don't seem to have that many special talents that could help us, but from I've heard about the new American tribe member, normal is better. And since when are there pokemon centers in Australia?
(At the American tribe, Everyone is helping build the stretcher; except Bart. Is he being lazy? Quite the opposite.)
Bart: Why can't I help, Membrane? You're making me look bad. Do you know what Reggie's going to be doing when she finds out I'm not doing any work?
Membrane: Listen Simpson, it's not my fault you're not super.
Bart: What do you mean?
Membrane: Well, Bubbles is helping lug around the equipment, because she has SUPER-powers. Edd is concentrating on the design because he has SUPER-smarts. And Ace is constructing the stretcher with his SUPER-glue.
Bart: So what is Reggie doing there?
Membrane: She's boosting team spirit. She's got SUPER-stamina.
Bart: (Not believing him) Uh-huh. And Amy?
Membrane: She's there to tell her wacky adventures in the year 3000. She's got SUPER-future predicting powers.
Bart: Man, that is the lamest excuse. But let me ask you this. If Edd has the smarts, where do YOU fit in?
Membrane: Oh, I have the most important job of all. Working all day tends to make you hungry, so I've been making some food for those hard working freaks. SUPER-toast.
Bart: That's just the same mushy rice we've been having for the past two weeks.
Membrane: SUPER-mushy rice in the SHAPE of toast. You wanna help? Go get me some syrup.
Bart: (Angry) You are so damn lucky you don't have to go to council.
(Bart storms off)
Reggie: Hey Membrane, what's with Bart?
Membrane: He's just mad because he wants to help so he won't get voted off. I wouldn't let him.
Edd: That was a very unkind thing to do Professor, and furthermore…is that SUPER-toast?
Membrane: Want some? It's fresh.
Edd: It smells heavenly.
(The castaways eat as Bart looks on.)
*Bart: David planned this. Membrane's real purpose is to try to make someone's stay in the outback a lot shorter. Why did it have to be me?
*Membrane: Too bad Bart doesn't know I'm allowed to hear his supposed "personal" confessions. Actually, I'm just doing this because it's fun. And purple hair is much better than yellow skin.
*Amy: How did he get mushy rice to taste so good?
(Later at night, the Japanese, including Joy, are sitting around the fire, eating and having a good time. A completed stretcher lies a few feet away from them.)
Joy:… From what my 3rd cousin told me, Chanseys were everywhere, it was not a pretty sight. And as they were all rounded up, it turns out the Chansey that started it all was a ditto in disguise. They could tell because it still had that tiny Ditto face on.
(Everyone laughs, {even the Digidestined, who have been explained to about pokemon centers} except Duplica.)
Richie: Come on, Duplica, don't you think that's funny, being a ditto master and all.
Duplica: (Hesitant) I…guess so.
Cody: Wait, you don't mean that…
Duplica: Um…of course not! My ditto is perfectly capable of doing a complete transformation. (Under her breath) Thank God Misty's not here. Thank God Misty's not here. Thank God Misty's not here.
Sora: On a different topic, do you think our stretcher is good enough to help us win?
Joy: It's hard to tell, we may not even be using it to carry something.
Todd: Well, I think we'll be ready for whatever David throws at us.
Ken: Forget David, we have to worry about the crystal subplot. Remember, it's supposed to play a major part in the reward challenge.
Joy: What's the crystal subplot?
Cody: That's what we've been trying to find out. Some of us agree that it's Johnny, that kid who attacked us on our fourth day here.
Todd: That's what I think, he seems possessed.
Duplica: Yeah, well I think it's the chickens. It'd be too obvious to be in human form.
Ken: I agree that it can't be human, so I think it's Kang. We'd least suspect it because it seems so obvious that a conquering alien is the subplot. But it could even be Membrane, he seems kind of weird.
Richie: I don't mean to insult you Joy, but it could even be you. I've never heard of a Pokemon center in Australia, yet it'd be a great alibi that most non-pokemon trainers would believe.
Joy: I assure you, I'm not the crystal subplot, whatever it is.
Ken: Let's just not worry about it. Chances are we'll be screwed and there's nothing we can do about it.
Joy: Don't talk like that. We're going to win this, all we have to do is have teamwork and confidence. We can do this, for the good of the team.
Todd: Nurse Joy, did you ever take French in school?
Joy: No, it was never required in order to be a nurse, why do you ask?
Todd: Oh it just cleared up something.
Joy: What?
Todd: Well since you never took French, it's obvious you've never heard of the word "cliché".
Joy: Yes I have. Look, my name is Joy, I'm supposed to be optimistic. Would you let me?
Todd: Of course. Actually, I agree with you.
Cody: So do I.
Sora: I think I speak for all of us when I say "I agree too".
Duplica: Of course.
Ken: Even I agree, I just didn't want to go through the clichéd episode 5 pep-talk.
Richie: Don't ruin tradition, Ken.
(Soon after, they all go to sleep. At the American tribe, everyone is asleep except Bart's alliance.)
Bart: Guys, listen.
Bubbles: You mean, girls, listen.
Bart: Who cares, this is important. I think Membrane is here for a reason other than stretcher building and super-toast chef. I think he's trying to get me kicked off by making everyone hate me.
Amy: He wouldn't do that, he's too weird. Look at him.
(Membrane is sleep-talking.)
Membrane: I don't have time for that now, maybe next year.
Bubbles: What is he talking about?
Amy: It's a very sad story, but I think now is not the time to be dramatic. It's time to talk about alliances. Bart, I promise you I will not betray you because of something Membrane says.
Bubbles: I won't either.
Bart: Thanks, guys.
Bubbles: Girls.
Bart: Okay, thanks, girls. I'm just used to my best friends being guys. And I really don't think we should talk about alliances while Membrane is here, he might tell Reggie and the others our plans.
Amy: But I have one question? Why am I still in the alliance? I thought I left it to vote for Emmitt?
Bart: The truth is, we followed you. I'll do anything to keep this alliance together, even if it means not being the leader, because I want to win.
Bubbles: But Bart, no returning champion has ever even made the merge before.
Bart: That's about to be changed. There are three returning champions left, and two more councils until the merge. That means at least one will make it. Man, I hope that one will be me. Or you, Bubbles, but I'd prefer me.
Amy: You could both make the merge.
Bart: Possible.
Amy: I think we got sidetracked. I am now the leader of the alliance?
Bart: Sort of. We have to all agree, so I don't think it matters who is the leader. But, you can be the leader.
Amy: Cool.
*Amy: That was really nice of Bart to do that. And that's why I'm suspicious.
Bart: So no more talking about alliances until Membrane leaves. Spread the word to the others as well, I don't want Membrane ruining their alliances, it wouldn't be fair.
*Amy: Now I'm really suspicious.
*Bart: There's only one upside to Membrane being here. As annoying as he is, he built us one hell of a stretcher.
Bubbles: We should rest now. Tomorrow's reward challenge could be very important.
Bart: Meeting adjourned.
(The three go back in the shelter and eventually are peacefully sleeping.)
Membrane: (sleep-talking) Next time on "probing the membrane of science": My secret recipe to super-cinnamon-toast. And if there's time, the cure for cancer.
Plateau of rewards Day 14
(Both tribes, as well as the hosts and CBG are at the plateau of rewards, for the reward challenge.)
David: Welcome to the magical plateau of rewards. Due to budget cuts, we can't just use any part of the outback we feel like, so I magically designed two pieces of land that can morph into any necessary scenario for challenges, using my author powers.
Membrane: I've always wondered about those. How do you get them?
David: Well, it's a very complicated process. See, first you have to become an author. Second, you can't be fictional. And the powers are only limited to the stories you write. None of you are non-fictional, therefore, you can't get them.
Todd: So just make more money.
David: Todd, it's not that simple. You can't ALWAYS do what you want. Ever heard of editors?
CBG: Can we please get on with the challenge, my brain is already filled with useless facts, I have no need of more.
David: Yes, why doesn't Rob announce it.
Rob: Well, it's obvious you have to carry something on your stretcher. These remote controls I have will activate lights on the things you will be carrying, located 1,000 feet away. The Americans must retrieve the object with the blue lights, Japanese, red lights.
First tribe to make it back with the object ON the stretcher wins the reward, which is…the object you will be carrying. The winning tribe may keep it until the merge. Now to make the challenge harder, I have inserted a marble into each object, entirely made of dark matter, a very heavy substance mentioned on "Futurama". That little amount of dark matter will add a lot of extra weight to the object. Any questions?
Edd: Where does this dark matter come from?
Rob: I know, I'm sure Amy knows, David knows, and I think it's best the rest of you not know. One more thing, Membrane and Joy will not participate in this challenge, except they will have the remote controls to activate the lights. By now, you should be ready.
(They are) Remember, the object must be ON the stretcher. Now GO.
(The tribes run off, but the camera focuses on Membrane and Joy.)
CBG: Here are your remotes, the bottom button activates the lights.
(They both press the buttons, and they can see the blue and red lights in the distance.)
Joy: But what do the other buttons do?
CBG: That's for me to know and you to find out. (CBG walks away.)
Membrane: There's only one way to find out.
Joy: I'm not gonna touch it, it could be a trick.
(Meanwhile, the Japanese have made it to the object. It's a small robot with blinking red eyes.)
Ken: That's what the lights were.
Cody: It's a little robot.
Sora: Put it on the stretcher and let's head back.
(But they can't lift it.)
Duplica: This dark matter is really heavy.
Ken: This must weigh tons. I wonder if the Americans can lift it?
(No they can't)
Bart: Why won't this move?
Bubbles: Even I can't lift it.
Amy: I told you guys it was heavy.
(Membrane and Joy can see the tribes in the distance.)
Joy: They're both struggling to lift the object.
Membrane: Let's see what this thing can do.
(There are two other buttons on the remote, a red and a blue. Membrane pushes the red.)
Reggie: Listen you dumb robot, if you don't jump into that stretcher right now, I'm going to kick your metal…
(Suddenly, the robot's eyes turn from blue to red and it stands up.)
Robot: Yes, master. I obey.
(It jumps into the stretcher.)
Reggie: That was weird.
Ace: Let's lift it now.
(They slowly lift up the stretcher, Bubbles' strength makes them able to carry it.)
Edd: It's gonna be a long walk back.
(Joy sees the Americans are moving back)
Joy: They have the object. The remote! Membrane, what button did you press?
Membrane: Why should I tell you, you red-haired oddly animated character?
Joy: You pressed the red button?
Membrane: I didn't say that, I said you're a red-haired…
Joy: But you did press the red button?
Membrane: Yes, but what I said was…
Joy: Thank you! (Joy pushes the red button)
Membrane: Curses! Outsmarted by a freak!
(Cut to the Japanese.)
Duplica: Hey, how did the Americans lift their robot thingy?
Ken: I just wish ours would carry itself to the finish line.
(The robot stands up)
Robot: Yes master. I obey.
(Two extra robot legs pop out of its back and it starts running away.)
Cody: no come back!
Richie: What's wrong?
Cody: If the robot isn't on the stretcher, it won't count as a win.
Ken: We have to catch it.
(The Japanese start running after it, they pass by the Americans.)
Reggie: They're beating us.
Ace: Yeah, but the robot isn't on the stretcher. We're still winning.
Bart: We better hurry before they pick it up.
(Back to Membrane and Joy.)
Membrane: You're a cheater. Give me that remote.
Joy: You'll never take it from me, spiky haired freak.
(Membrane is outraged.)
Membrane: Nobody…but nobody…calls Professor Membrane a FREAK. You think you're soooo smart. Well, I happen to have a few tricks up my sleeve. You know what would happen if I said "Dumb joke with an even dumber pun"?
(Joy sweatdrops.)
Membrane: AH-HAH. No anime character can resist sweat-dropping. But do you know what happens if I said " THE DUMBEST JOKE IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE WITH THE LAMEST, ABSOLUTE WORST PUN?"
(Joy understands Membrane's plan)
Joy: (struggling) No…must…resist.
Membrane: (demonically) You can't resist. NO anime character can resist it. Do not attempt to resist it.
Joy: Can't…resist…anime instinct… too...powerful…I musn't…FACEFAULT!!!!!
(But no anime character can hear a really lame joke with a lame pun and not facefault. And Joy does, and the remote slips out of her hand, right into Membrane's.)
Joy: That was the dumbest joke ever. I can't get up.
Membrane: Looks like you won't be winning. I don't need these anymore.
(He tosses the remotes away. Alas, they both land on the blue button, activating the robots' GIR mode. Both robots' eyes turn blue and stop what they are doing.)
Robots (GIRs): Where am I? Oh well. (Both start running around insanely, causing chaos.)
Bart: What just happened?
Amy: It's gonna kill us.
Edd: We have to catch it.
Ken: The robot's running towards us.
Japanese GIR: I wanna cupcake.
Sora: The finish line is that way, you dumb robot.
Duplica: Who cares about winning this thing, I want to forfeit.
Bart: Not if we forfeit first.
Japanese: What?
Bubbles: You think we want these things? We'll forfeit, you can keep them.
(Back to Membrane, Joy and the hosts.)
Membrane: Whoops.
Rob: David, both tribes want to forfeit.
Zak: What do we do?
David: I'm not sure what to do, but you can blame it on Membrane for turning the SIRs into GIRs.
Zak: What are GIRs?
David: They are the invader ZIM cameos I was talking about. GIR is ZIMs idiot assistant. He's supposed to be a competent SIR unit, but ZIM doesn't exactly get dibs on the best robot. He got junk. Watch the show if you really don't understand.
Membrane: They're the cameos you were talking about? What about me? When you watch that cartoon, you should pay more attention to ME rather than those dumb robots.
CBG: Now that you've gotten your obvious advertising out of the way, I suggest the LOSER gets to keep this quote GIR unquote.
David: Brilliant idea. Hey you people, the LOSER has to keep the robot, not the winner.
(By now, the survivors are very close to the finish line, so they can hear David.)
Bubbles: We better hurry, our sanity depends on it.
Ken: We can't lose this.
(In the end, the Japanese reach the finish line about 5 seconds before the Americans do, but both GIRs are not on the stretcher. Since both tribes want to lose, neither one is attempting to pick up the GIR.)
David: I can't take much more of this. Membrane, Joy… press the red buttons on your remotes. That'll turn the GIRs into SIRs and will finally end the challenge.
Membrane: I can't do that. First of all, Joy hasn't recovered from that facefault, and when I threw the remotes, I kinda accidentally sorta maybe broke them beyond repair.
Zak: Well that was dumb.
David: Don't worry, I have a plan B. CBG, give me those cupcakes. (CBG hands them over). Now, Americans, Japanese…you can bribe the GIRs with these cupcakes.
Bart: Yeah, except I don't wanna win.
Todd: Me neither.
David: Fine, then bribe the GIR that is not yours to go in the stretcher that's not yours. This way, the opposite tribe will win, and you lose.
(Both tribes agree that this plan will work, and the Japanese end up winning, which means the Americans lost.)
Reggie: YES!!! We lost.
Ace: Let's celebrate.
Sora: I can't believe we won.
Cody: Those Americans seem to have all the luck.
Ken: We can do whatever we want to with this GIR right?
David: Of course.
(Using his soccer skills, Ken kicks the GIR over the horizon.)
Ken: That was very refreshing.
Amy: Thanks Membrane, if you hadn't messed up, we would've won.
Membrane: It was nothing, future girl. How about some Super-toast, on me?
Bubbles: Yay.
(The Americans, happy for losing, walk back to camp.)
Sora: Looks like we will be needing this stretcher after all.
(The Japanese walk back to camp, carrying Joy on the stretcher, who still hasn't recovered from that facefault.)
Cody: Anyone want to comment on the irony of this?
Joy: NO.
Japanese tribe Night 14
(The pokemon survivors, excluding Joy, are talking about alliances)
Todd: So I think we should not talk about alliances while Joy is around, she could tell Ken and the others our plans.
Author's note: Sound familiar?
Todd: I just want to confirm something. Duplica, are you in?
Duplica: I'm not sure. See, I'm also in an alliance with Sora, and she's also my best friend.
Richie: She can join the alliance, but she'd have to be willing to vote for Cody.
Duplica: I don't think she will though. I'll have to think about it. Hopefully we'll just win immunity.
Todd: We can't take any chances. If you're not sure, we're declaring you out of the alliance until you are sure.
Duplica: Fine.
*Duplica: I'm in a very sticky situation here. Who do I make a commitment to, my show…or my friend?
Richie: Maybe we should check up on Nurse Joy. I think she's almost fully recovered.
Todd: Anyone want to comment on the irony of that statement?
Duplica: Um…it's very ironic (Which she stupidly pronounces EYE-ER-NEE-ICK. Todd and Richie, being anime characters have no choice but to…facefault. They are both able to stand up after a few seconds.)
Richie: Try not to tell lame jokes like that again, or someone will get really hurt.
Duplica: Joke?
(Richie and Todd facefault again.)
Todd: Medic!
Duplica: She's injured too.
(Meanwhile, Cody is checking for tree mail.)
Cody: Nope, there isn't any.
(He then walks back to camp)
*Cody: What, you think the only time we get tree mail is when the camera is watching us?
American tribe Day 15
(Bart and Membrane are checking for tree-mail. Membrane finds six letters. As he reads them he throws them away.)
Membrane: Bill…bill…bill…bill…immunity challenge notice…bill…Woo-hoo, mask of the month club.
Bart: You idiot, you threw away the immunity challenge notice.
(Membrane has a Bart Simpson mask on.)
Membrane: Don't have a cow, freak.
(After some searching, Bart finds the note.)
Bart: In this challenge, you'll find out that,
It's not fun being in a maze, trapped like a rat.
To make matters worse, there's an extra rat too,
Making it easier for the other tribe to beat you.
Use the deva to your advantage and avoid the vote.
There's no crazy robots and no dumb remote.
Membrane: What's a deva?
Bart: So the professor isn't so smart after all.
Membrane: Well, since I'm wearing a Bart mask, I'm trying to act like him.
Bart: Enough with the mask!! Let's just tell the others, like we do for every challenge.
Membrane: They should just all come with us.
Bart: We did that the first 7 times you checked this hour.
Membrane: Well, I wanted that mask.
Plateau of rewar immunity day 15
(This time, the plateau has a giant maze made out of wood constructed on it.)
David: Welcome back for your immunity challenge. Japanese, I'll take the idol. This is a simple maze challenge. You have to have to go in…grab your colored flag…and get back out. The first tribe with all their members and the flag wins. Membrane and Joy, you must participate in this challenge. Have you recovered from that facefault Joy?
Joy: I think so. It seems like it happened just a second ago.
David: That's because there's been about only one page between then and now. Now about the deva. For those of you who don't know, a deva is an ultimate digimon from season three, based on an animal of the Chinese zodiac. A few days ago, Sandiramon, the snake, attacked the Americans. I was able to make a deal with Kumbiramon, the rat, to get rid of the snake. Ironic isn't it? In return, I let the relatively little guy be a cameo in this challenge.
(Kumbiramon steps out from the maze. He looks like a white rat, except he is much bigger and has more than four legs, either 6 or 8, I don't remember.)
David: Aside from being half-rat and half-spider, he also has this handy little ability to clone himself. Demonstrate.
(kumbiramon successfully makes 5 clones of himself, that are identical in every way.)
David: Here's the catch. These 6 Kumbiramon will be in the maze. They can help and hinder you. If you see one, you have the option to ask it for help. If you do, and it is the real Kumbiramon, he will move your opponents' flag to a different location or steal it from the opposing tribe and put it back to where it was. If you ask a clone for help, he will move your flag, or steal it from you if you already have it. Once a clone is asked for help, it will disappear once it has hidden or stole the flag. Understand?
(The survivors nod)
Ace: Wait, what color is our flag?
David: The Japanese has a red flag, the Americans…well we used your own flag since Membrane never took it.
Membrane: Whoops again.
David: Kumbiramons, go in the maze.
(The 6 rats scatter themselves throughout the maze.)
David: Bubbles, no super speed and no super strength for killing clones. Survivors ready? GO.
(Both tribes rush into the maze. Bubbles abruptly stops.)
Reggie: Bubbles, what are you doing?
Bubbles: David just said no super speed and strength. He said nothing about other superpowers. (Bubbles uses X-ray vision to locate the flag.)
Bubbles: We have to make a left.
Ace: That was some quick thinking Bubbles.
Bubbles: Thank you.
(The Japanese are unsure where they are going, but they run across a kumbiramon.)
Cody: Should we ask it?
Joy: There must be some way to find out if it's a clone or not.
Ken: We can't spend time thinking about it, we won't ask it, to be safe.
(Thanks to Bubbles, the Americans easily find their flag. They then run into a Kumbiramon.)
Edd: I'm gonna ask it for help, we have nothing to lose. Hey, can you help us?
(It turns out to be a clone, so it steals the flag and puts it where it originally was…5 feet from where they are standing. The clone disappears.)
Edd: See, we had nothing to lose.
Membrane: I'll take the flag.
(The Americans start running off. The Japanese have gotten lucky. They found their flag. They later find the real Kumbiramon, but they don't know it.)
Joy: We should ask it for help.
Ken: Not yet, we could be far ahead of the Americans.
(They then see the Americans rush by them.)
Bubbles: We're almost there, guys.
Ken: Okay we need help. Kumbiramon, help us.
Kumbiramon: Gladly.
(The rat dashes after the Americans and quickly catches up.)
Amy: Oh-no. We're doomed. And we're so close. I can see the finish line.
Membrane: Yes, me too. Purple-haired girl, go long.
Reggie: What?
Membrane: Like in football.
(Reggie understands. She runs outside the finish line where the hosts are watching.)
David: I understand the plan. Kumbiramon can't leave the maze.
(Membrane throws the flag…Reggie catches it outside of the maze. Kumbiramon can't steal it! The Americans quickly run to the finish and win.)
David: Americans…you have won immunity and your flag back. Japanese, Kumbiramon…you can come out now.
(The clones disappear, but the real Kumbiramon has gained so much momentum that it can't stop itself as it runs out of the maze…and crashes into CBG. The Japanese then exit.)
Sora: Hey, we tried.
Todd: But we were so close, too.
Joy: I'm sorry I couldn't help you as much as Membrane helped the others.
Richie: Don't blame yourself, we would've lost even if you weren't here in that situation.
Ken: We're just going to have to vote someone off. I don't want to, but it's not your fault.
David: Japanese, Americans…you have 5 minutes to say goodbye to your temporary tribe members before they leave.
Cody: Goodbye Nurse Joy.
Todd: It was nice having someone new to talk to after being here for two weeks with the same people. I hate being alone. You couldn't pay me $999,999.99 to go on this show.
Ken: So David threw in one cent and you agreed?
Todd: Pretty much
Cody: But you said you travel alone most of the time.
Todd: No I don't, my friends are the pokemon.
Duplica: You've been hanging around with Ash too long.
Todd: Only three episodes. Don't you love your ditto?
Duplica: Well, I have other human friends as well.
Joy: Please, I don't want to leave while you're fighting. Put aside your differences for now.
Duplica: Whatever. Good bye, Joy.
Sora: Thanks for helping us win the reward, even though we didn't want it.
Joy: Goodbye.
(As Joy leaves, Membrane says goodbye to the Americans.)
Amy: You did great in that challenge.
Reggie: I didn't think you even knew what football was.
Edd: You were a great addition to our tribe, Professor.
Membrane: It was nothing. I'm feeling awful funny right now. This must be what they call…emotion. You are the best and only friends I've ever had. I thank you for that.
(Everyone is shocked)
Bubbles: Membrane…you didn't call us freaks!
Membrane: And I'm not ashamed to admit it.
Bart: I guess you're not such a bad person after all, Membrane. I apologize.
Membrane: Apology accepted. Here's a parting gift.
Ace: Hey, your super-toast recipe. Thanks.
Membrane: It's a secret. Between us 7, okay?
Americans: Yeah.
(There is assorted goodbyes from both tribes as Membrane and Joy leave.)
David: Let's also say goodbye to CBG.
CBG: Being knocked on the ground by a spider-rat, I have nothing to say except maybe you could help me get to a hospital.
David: Americans, you are safe for three more days at least. Japanese, you have to go to tribal council in a few hours.
(The tribes both leave.)
CBG: What about me?
Japanese tribe Day 15
(The digidestined are talking once again about alliances.)
Ken: We haven't had much time to discuss this, but we need you in our alliance, and we know you don't want Duplica to be voted off. Why doesn't she join our alliance. This way you can join too, and we promise not to vote for Duplica until it's necessary. So will you help us?
Sora: You pretty much answered any question I was about to ask, so yes.
Ken: Good, now here's the plan.
*Cody: With 4 people in our alliance, I don't see how we can lose.
(Cut to that night, the Japanese are at tribal council.)
David: Welcome back. This is your third council. We'll start it by me asking questions. Did any alliances and strategies change because of Nurse Joy's appearance.
Todd: Not at all. I wanted to prevent that from happening, so we all agreed to not talk about alliances while Joy was here. We were hoping to just win the challenge, but we didn't.
David: Okay. Does anyone here feel confident that they won't be voted off tonight?
(Only Cody raises his hand)
Cody: I don't think I've done anything to make anyone want to vote for me, so I see no reason why anyone would.
David: Sounds reasonable. Cody, you'll be the first to vote.
(Shot of Cody voting RICHIE)
Cody: It's digimon vs. pokemon, and he's in an alliance against ours.
(Aerial shot of Ken voting. Shot of Todd voting CODY)
Todd: Looks like you spoke too soon, Cody.
(Aerial shots of Richie and Sora voting. Shot of Duplica putting her vote in the urn, we can't see who she voted for.)
Duplica: This ought to scare Todd straight.
(Duplica exits the voting booth. David takes the urn.)
David: I'll tally the votes. First vote…Richie. Then, Cody.
(They are both surprised, but stay calm.)
David: Richie…Richie…then Cody. That makes three votes Richie, Two votes Cody. Cody it looks like you aren't so confident now. If this vote is for you, we'll have a tiebreaker vote. The final vote…
(Both Richie and Cody are extremely nervous.)
David: …is for Richie.
Richie: I don't believe it.
David: I never expected that coming. I'm afraid I'll need your torch.
(Richie sadly brings it up.)
David: Richie…the tribe has spoken. (David extinguishes the torch) It's time for you to go.
Richie: Goodbye everybody.
(Richie walks away.)
David: I've decided not to toy with your heads like they did in survivor: Africa. In 4 days, there will be a merge, and one more person will be voted off the outback. You may head back to camp now.
(Meanwhile, CBG and Kumbiramon are alone on the plateau.)
Kumbiramon: I said one word, how dumb is that?
CBG: At least you weren't hurt, this ruins my chances of future cameos.
(Suddenly, the GIR Ken kicked in the air lands on CBG's head.
CBG: Worst cameo ever.
Last words
Richie: Well, I was really hoping to do better than this, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. I had made a bet with Ash that I could do better in this than he did in the original Animation Survivor, and I was so close to winning, but it ends up being a draw. I'm not even sure I have to pay him, but if I do, I'll need to use all that money I made off of Sora. I was really hoping to walk away with at least that small cash prize, but I had a great time, and I hope Todd or Duplica win this for me, Misty, and the rest of our show. Good luck.
Voting Summary
Richie (4): Cody, Duplica, Ken, Sora
Cody (2): Richie, Todd.
Next episode
Todd always seems to be in trouble, can he survive when everyone is against him.
A very interesting immunity challenge- the survivors test their theories to guess THE ORIGIN OF THE CRYSTAL SUBPLOT.
And another Survivor first- for both real and knockoffs.
Post Author Notes
Like usual, it took a long time to write this, but this is one of my longest chapters yet, 23 pages on Microsoft word. It's just in time for Christmas, and for Jewish people like myself, it's posted on the last day of Chanukah. Please review, I want to know what you think of the new tribe members, and if it was a good idea. I loved writing Professor Membrane, he's a very funny character. If I have time, I'm considering writing a digimon tamers parody as well assurvivor, they would both be unrelated. Review if you think it would be funny to have a Tamers parody featuring.
Rika Bennice
Takato Costanza
Kazu Kramer
Kenta as Newman
And of course, Jenrya Seinfeld
Jenrya: What's up with the digital world? We seem to be having enough trouble taking care of one world, why do we need another? And you'd think they'd get rid of all the glitches before giant powerful monsters start attacking us.
Does it sound funny? Review if you think it does, if no one likes it, I probably won't write it. Have a Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Kwazy Kwanzaa and a Solemn Ramadan. And for all you Canadians, Australians, as well as people from the UK and New Zealand, have a happy Boxing day.
