Mara Tribe: Night 4

Mara arrives back to camp, each leaning their torch on a nearby tree. Price has a permanent smirk on his face.

Price: All that talk, and we still smacked him down. Not worried about him anymore because now that he's gone, everyone is looking for a bulletproof vest.

As for Toad's "number one" ally in Wesker, he has no identifiable emotion on his face approaching the shelter.

Wesker: I see a divide coming. There has been some strategy over the past few days and I see it: Armed Forces versus Women Empowerment. My neck won't on the line, so I'm going to let them cannibalize each other.

Mara Tribe: Day 5

It's early noon for Mara. Ms Pac-Man and Dylan have buckets in hand with fish inside. They watch as T'Challa approaches the sea.

Ms Pac-Man: The fishing was…eventful.

Immediate cut to a little shark wiggling near the shore! T'Challa grasps it as Ms Pac and Dylan frantically speak!

"Bring it here!" (Ms Pac-Man)

"Oh my god!" (Dylan)

"Here! Here!"

"You're so close!"

Dylan holds his bucket out, T'Challa quickly approaching! He drops the shark in, and comes to a stop. He peers into the bucket.

"Nice work." says the Wakandan, wiping his hands. "Didn't let him nip me." Smiles are on their faces after that scene.

Dylan: I'm a happy camper…besides the constant fight for survival. Honestly I'm probably just going to get with T'Challa. Someone voted for me which was weird, and I think I'll feel safe knowing he has my back.

Meanwhile Peach and Ripley are breaking branches apart, when the topic of alliances comes up.

"There's three of us already. Toad's not here anymore and we need at least two more to be safe." states Ripley. She turns to Peach, a question in mind. "Who do you think we can get?"

For Peach, it doesn't take too long to consider. "Price and Snake helped us last time. But if we have to go back, I don't know if they'll do it again." That answer gives Ripley room to interject. "Wesker hung around Toad and sold him out. We can't trust him either, so that just leaves us with Dylan and T'Challa. Our best bet is Dylan."

Ripley: Ms Pac and Dylan hang around. He could be closer to T'Challa, so we have to be careful with this.

Peach considers that point. "She (Ms Pac) can try to get him in. We just have to have faith."

Peach: Being on the bottom after Toad left wasn't what I wanted. But sitting here and whining about it won't do me any good!

Vulsa Tribe: Day 5

On Vulsa, it's cloudy. Zelda and Wade sit by the firewood. Zelda drinks coconut juice, while Wade consumes nothing.

Wade: I did some thinking last night. So here's the summary: Slade hates me, Skarlet hates Penelope, and Wario and the Trainer haven't fought today. I tried to at least be optimistic but the hammer came down on me: I'm next.

Wade goes on about strategy to the Legend of Zelda character.

"We should think about idols. We can dodge votes with it aaaand…maybe save P." That gets Zelda's attention, stopping her drinking. "I understand that, but even if we work together we still won't have the numbers." she states. "Well, that's why I'm thinking about idols. We could save ourselves and just take one of them out!" Zelda sighs. "We would still be down in numbers." Wade pulls a bit on his mask. "Slade doesn't like me. Guess what? After he takes both of us out, you're next."

"The alliance isn't sustainable."

"No but we can't just sit around. CONSIDER the idol play Z. We can get Penelope here and have a whole search party, and when we get that idol, we have control. Bluff one week, use it the other, how about it?" Zelda shakes her head, with further frustrates DP. "If we bluff, this plan could still fail. The majority aren't dumb, they got their way last time and could get it again." Wade runs a hand over his "mouth."

"We just need another opinion. That's all."

—

Immediate cut to the two roaming in the forest with Penelope, the whole plan being told to her.

"An idol could make it easier. I mean, we have three and they have five. Even if they vote weird at least we have a fighting chance." she says. "Wario hasn't had a fight today so I think they already solved that little thing." Wade groans. "I hope we can get somewhere because as long as Gramps (Slade) is here we can't do much to break them up." Zelda gives her two cents. "He and Dante may be merciful. Skarlet is not, so if you do find the idol, the votes must go to her."

The purple Yoshi shakes her head. "We have two days, maybe four to find the idol. The sooner we start, the better." she says.

Penelope: I need that idol now! It's better that I have people that ACTUALLY want to help me, but we can't get ANYWHERE without it! If even one of us gets it, we can crack the big guys!

Mara Tribe: Day 5

Back on Mara, Price, Snake, and Wesker surround themselves by a patch of bushes. Low enough on the ground to where they can't be seen clearly, they have a strategic discussion.

"We can agree that the women on this team could get close." says Snake. "We just need T'Challa and Dylan to stop a future threat." Wesker nods along, and Price interjects. "Peach, Ripley, Ms Pac. If they are our targets, we need to win this tug of war." Snake shoots back instantly. "Deciding who to vote for will help us. We need not only one of them, but the weakest in challenges. We can preserve strength and take out a target at the same time."

Price moves a leaf to the side. "Ripley's the better one at puzzles. It's looking like Peach or Pac." He and Snake turn to Wesker. "What do you think?" asks Price. "As long as one goes, I'm good with the plan."

"Alright. We gotta reach em before the women do." says Price, turning his shoulder to the men. "Have faith. We'll get 'em."

Price: The women aren't going to consider us their end game, so we won't consider them in ours. Votes are valuable, and we need all the value we can get.

Vulsa Tribe: Day 5

The clouds are still out at Vulsa. Wade is on the branch of a tree, shaking it as the leaves move back and forth. Nothing comes out from the leaves, and he just smacks the branch!

Wade: Looking for a little trinket shouldn't be this hard! Oh but Russell Hantz can find fifty of them no problem!

Cut to Wade digging into a hole in a tree. He feels something in his hands, and pulls to himself…

…it's a rock. Wade facepalms. "You've gotta be £¥(|£ing me!" He drops the rock down, and turns around…to see Slade staring right at him. "Look…we're all in it for ourselves." The DC villain looks him up and down. Seeing no lumps in his pockets, he just walks off. Wade watches his every step, and when he is out of view, Wade breaths in relief.

Wade: If my rep might be in the $#(!£R, it might as well be now. I just need that sweet sweet safety in my pocket, because they'll just cut my head off anyway.

Slade: He can't be molded for my alliance. He's not cutthroat like Skarlet. relaxed like Dante or Zelda, easy to manipulate like Wario or the Trainer. He is a wildcard. One that I won't have a problem exterminating.

He pulls the immunity idol from his sleeve!

Slade: I found this in the morning. It took me a few tries but I finally found it near a cave. Had he found this a wrench would have been thrown into my plans. Zelda is more useful than he is, so this idol will make it easier to take him out.

—

As for Penelope, her idol hunt isn't going super well either. She's digging through sand next to a palm tree, with no results. She gets to her feet with a groan. "Come on…" she says under her breath. She turns away from the tree and continues to make her way down the shore.

A figure steps out right in front of her though! Red hair, red attire, it's Skarlet. She gets close to Penelope, who stands her ground. "Idol hunting? You do understand the mistake after all."

"I'm not stupid."

"If you were smart then you would have voted with the majority."

"Classy."

Skarlet scoffs. "Make fun of me. It won't make a difference." she says. That doesn't calm down the Yoshi at all! "Why are you rubbing it in my face? I'm on the bottom, I can idol hunt, period!" She walks right past the kombatant, who watches her leave.

Skarlet: She made an enemy out of me, and when you make an enemy out of me you don't come out safe and sound.

The episode was definitely short today. I'm going to be busy today and wanted this episode out before I go. It would have been longer if Vulsa had more of a divided tribe, but instead there seems to be only a few targets. Also, to the Dante, Wii Fit, and Wario fans, they'll get a little bit of content in 3B. All had decent visibility in the past couple of episodes, so I figured I'd give 'em a break for at least this part.

Anyways we got lines forming on Mara, and scrambling on Vulsa. It seems Penelope and Wade are in trouble, and T'Challa and Dylan are swing votes if the time comes again for Mara to vote. Which tribe will lose another castaway? Find out in Episode 3B!
