Here's Chapter 11! Enjoy!

(Day 28)

Xigbar, Lilo, Fuuka, Hank and Swiper were talking inside the shelter.

"Man, that was some fright we all have yesterday!" Xigbar said.

"I know, I am still shaken by all of this." Lilo frowned.

"Yesterday, Xigbar, Mark and I came to the Immunity Challenge only to find that there IS no Challenge because Clover has to be carried about of the game." Lilo said to the camera. "That stinks because being taken out of the game due to being sick is worse than being voted out."

"Listen, guys. Don't worry, she will get better. She is tougher than she looks." Swiper reassured.

"I guess that's true." Lilo said.

"I just hope she'll be all right." Fuuka sighed.

"Well, can't stand around moping all day, we got chores to do." Hank said getting up and stretching. "Come on, Swipe. It's our turn to fetch fruit."

"K." The fox said before he got off as well and walked off with the dog.

"Wow, those two are really becoming close." Fuuka said.

"Yeah, I guess…" Xigbar said.

"You guess?" Lilo asked with a raised eyebrow. "What do you mean by that?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Fuuka agreed.

"Oh, nothing. It just that they been buddy-buddy and talking to each other since we kidnapped Swiper." The Nobody noted.

"Maybe they just enjoy each other's company." Fuuka shrugged.

"Maybe, Fu. But seeing Swiper get to Hank to temporarily be nice to Hank makes me wonder." Xigbar mused. "What can he get Hank to lighten if he only knew him for a couple of days?"

"Don't forgot, the Kongs kidnapped Hank on Day 12. So they could have known have talked to each other then." Lilo explained.

"I guess so. It's just that those two are in an alliance of their own…" Xigbar said stroking his chin.

"You mean they planned to backstab everyone from the start?" Lilo asked with wide eyes. "Meaning that Hank was willing to backstab Augie pre-merge!?"

"Hank, you traitor! You were going to backstab us from the start?" Lilo asked the camera in anger and disbelief. "We're your own tribe-mates for Pete's sake!"

"I don't know for certain but it's definitely possible." Xigbar nodded.

"S-So what do we do?" Fuuka asked.

"Play along with their little game for now. After all, Mark and Ace are much bigger Immunity threats then them." Xigbar explained. "We'll vote Hank and Swiper out after we get rid of those two."

"I guess that makes sense." Fuuka shrugged. "I mean, it's not like they are going to switch back."

"I don't know how for sure but Swiper plans to take Hank to the Final 2 just like Lucy did." Xigbar said to the camera. He then smirked. "Well, I hate to break it to you, fox-dude but all you are getting is a Final 5 pass and that's it!"

Meanwhile, Hank and Swiper were walking along the beach talking.

"So Mark is next right?" Hank asked with hope.

"If he doesn't win Immunity. If he does, we'll just vote off Ace." Swiper shrugged.

"Okay, my plan had a hit a small snag. We were supposed to vote off Mark or Ace depending on who win Immunity." Swiper said to the camera. "But with Clover getting sick, that means Ace and Mark have to stay. Not to say if given the choice to keep her, I would. I may be a backstabber but I wouldn't go that far to keep a sick girl just to get worse."

"I really wanted to get rid of Mark yesterday but with Clover getting sick, it can't be helped." Hank shrugged.

"Now, now. Just wait a couple of more days." Swiper reassured.

"If you say so." Hank sighed. "I hope he loses Immunity."

"Yeah but I hope he wins Reward." Swiper said.

Hank's eyes bugged out as he turned to his fox friend. "WHAT!? Why?"

"Because of the Immunity Idol." Swiper said.

Hank then remembered. "Oh, yeah. I almost forgot about it. But what does Mark winning Reward have to do with it?"

"Elementary, my dear Hankie." The purple-clad schemer smirked. "For one thing, Mark isn't the brightest bulb in the box."

The brown cow-dog rolled his eyes. "Tell me something I DON'T know."

"Well, if I get Mark to send to Exile Island, I could find the Immunity Idol." Swiper explained.

Hank realised something. "That way, if Fuuka doesn't join us, we will still have a back-up plan."

"Right! If we play the game carefully and sneakily like this, we will get to the Final 2 no problem!" Swiper smirked.

"Sweet! But why you? Knowing that cat, he would want to send ME to Exile Island more than you." Hank explained. "If that happens, couldn't I find the Idol for the both of us?"

Swiper sweat-dropped. "Um, I just think I would have a better chance of finding it."

Hank shrugged. "No argument there but I just feel I could find it. I am smarter than I look, you know!"

With that, he gave a cheesy grin. Swiper simply shook his head in hopelessness.

"Riiiiight…"

"Let me ask you this. If you have a huge plan and it needed to go perfectly, would you give THIS guy a big part?" Swiper said to the camera.

Suddenly, Hank noticed something. Ace and Mark sitting on opposite logs talking to each other. Seeing this, he smirked evilly.

"Speaking of the devil…" The brown dog said before turning to Swiper. "I'm sorry, Swiper but I am going to find a completely and utterly ridiculous and un-rational way to verbally assault and hopefully, completely demoralise Mark so he will hopefully quit from the game."

With that, he ran off leaving the fox alone.

"Okay, I guess I just wait here." Swiper shrugged.

He then crossed his arms and starting to tap hiS foot. He then adjusted his shades a bit before looking at the waves of the beautiful ocean and looking at the bright hot sun.

Suddenly, it hit him.

"Wait, what?"

"Now it is time for everyone's favourite time of the day!" Hank said to the camera with an evil smirk. "Mark-abuse time!"

Ace gave a deep sigh.

"Still worried about her, eh?" Mark frowned.

"Yes..." Ace said.

"Don't worry. Clover will be all right, hopefully." Mark reassured.

"I know… But I kept remembering how she collapsed in my arms…" Ace said. "I tried to ignore but it kept flashing into my mind."

"Ace…" Mark frowned.

"Clover is Ace's closest friend here and seeing her leave the game really upset him. He is usually calm." Mark said to the camera in sympathy

"Come on, Ace. Clover wouldn't want to see you moping like you this." The cheetah said. "She would want you to fight on."

"I… Know. My boss would probably smack me if he sees me like this." The mercenary sighed. "Thanks, Mark."

"No prob. Aside from the fact you are one of my closest friends, you're my ONLY ally." The young feline chuckled.

Ace chuckled as well. "I guess that's true."

"It is just me and Mark against the Kremlings and that traitor, Swiper." Ace said to the camera. "It won't be easy but we are planning to make it to the Final 2 together."

"So what's the plan, Ace?" Mark asked.

"I don't know, kid. I may think of something but I don't know what." Ace shrugged.

"Well, I hope we do succeed. If both of us get voted off, it will be impossible to make it to the finale." Mark said.

"Yes, as long as we keep each other's backs, we'll find a way." Ace explained.

"I sure hope so. But if we don't make it to the Final 2, I would at least be happy to be voted off before Hank and Swiper." Mark said.

"OH REALLY?"

This made the two jumped in shock. They both turned to the direction of the loud shock to see Hank glaring daggers at Mark.

"Sooo… Winning the game isn't enough for ya, eh? Would prefer just to outlast me, eh?" The dog said in disgust. "Haven't you thought that each and every one of us came here to win? People like you make me sick!"

"Look who's talking." Ace said narrowing his eyes.

Hank then smirked not taking his eyes off Mark. "There you go again, Mark. Hiding behind your friends like the coward you are!"

The young man frowned at this.

"Hey, lay off!" Ace smirked narrowing his eyes.

"Tsk tsk tsk! You are only proving my point! Mark is a wimp! He always has been and always will be!" Hank smirked. "Always finding behind his friends."

Mark looked down at the ground with the visor of his hat covering his eyes.

"Mark…" Ace said feeling sorry for him.

"Aw, did I hurt the poor kitty's feelings?" Hank said in a babyish tone. "Or maybe you have come to reality that you ARE a wimp?"

Ace got up angrily. "I SAID enough!"

"Hey, my beef isn't with you, Ace. It's with that useless ball of fur!" Hank said.

"Well, I don't know care! Mark is my friend if you mess with me, you mess with me!" The brown-haired man snapped.

Hank rolled his eyes. "Aw, come on, Ace, quit lying."

Ace raised a confused eyebrow.

"That you don't really like him."

Ace and Mark's eyes bugged out.

"Oh, I just KNOW he didn't just say that!" Ace said to the camera in anger.

"Admit it. Mark is nothing more than an extra vote to you." The cow-dog smirked.

"That's not true! Mark is one of my closest friends!" Ace snapped.

"Yeah, right." Hank said. "Admit it, you are only using Mark. That's why you saved him on Day 18."

"Not true!" Ace snapped.

"It is. And you know why that is?" Hank asked.

"No. Why?" Ace asked on his last strand of sanity.

"Because Mark is a loser! And nobody likes a loser! Sure, he is an asset at Challenges but that's about all he's good!" Hank said cruelly. "Heck, the only people who like him are either idiots or cats! But let's face it! All cats are idiots! Especially that girlfriend of yours!"

Mark was thunder-struck at this. "W-What?"

"You heard me! She must be the most stupid cat in the universe to go out with YOU!" Hank smirked. "Even more stupid than Nermal and Mignon!"

"Now that's a low blow!" Ace scolded.

"It's the truth though! I mean what kind of woman would go out with him? She was probably a gold-digger." Hank said.

"H-hey! That's not nice!" Mark sputtered.

"Well, she's mostly likely was. Or at least as dumb as a rock!" Hank smirked.

"S-Shut up..." Mark said getting up looking a bit angry.

"Or maybe she's a bigger loser than you, unable to get a date!"

"I said shut up!" The cheetah said raising his voice.

"Oh, what? You cry like the baby you are?" The dog said in a babyish tone. He then smirked evilly. "Face it. You are the second biggest loser in the universe! The first, being your so-called girlfriend!"

Mark gritted his teeth as he balled his hands into fists. For once, his fangs were showed.

"M-Mark?" Ace asked wanting to put a comforting hand on his shoulder but thought against it.

"You… You…"

"Are the better species! Why, thank you! I am glad you finally realised that you and your kind are like a zit on the face we call "life"." Hank smiled.

Mark's eye started to twitch.

"SHUT…"

Swiper's eyes bugged out.

"THE…"

Xigbar, Lilo and Fuuka looked up in shock.

"HECK…"

Birds flew away all over the island.

"UP!"

Hank and Ace stood horrified by Mark's outbreak.

"I am SOOO glad I am way over there at the time." Swiper said to the camera.

"E-Excuse me?" Hank asked surprised.

"YOU HEARD ME! I BEEN LISTENING TO YOUR LOUD MOUTH SINCE THE MERGE AND I CAN'T TAKE ANOTHER SECOND OF IT!" Mark shouted angrily.

"Who…" Hank said before he narrowed his eyes. "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE YELLING AT ME LIKE THAT, YOU WORTHLESS CAT?"

"I AM SICK AND TIRED OF YOU ALWAYS BEING SO MEAN TO ME JUST BECAUSE OF MY SPECIES!" Mark shouted.

"AND I AM SICK AND TIRED OF YOU BREATHING THE SAME AIR AS ME!" Hank shouted back.

"OH, DON'T YOU EVEN SHUT UP!?"

"DON'T YOU!?"

"ME!? YOU NEVER SHUT UP! I'M SURPRISED YOU MADE MERGE!"

"BECAUSE I AM A VALUABLE PLAYER!"

"VALUABLE PLAYER! YOU ALMOST KILLED EVERYONE ON DAY 17!"

"WELL, I AM IN THE MAJORITY!"

"YEAH, BUT YOU COULD BE IN THE MAJORITY WITHOUT BACKSTABBING ANYONE!"

Xigbar, Lilo and Fuuka walked in to see the shouting battle with Ace too stunned to move and needless to say that they looked shocked.

"I recognise Hank but is that Mark shouting?" Fuuka said surprised.

"It is!" Swiper said just as surprised.

"Whoa! It looks like little Markie have grown a BIG backbone!" Xigbar noted.

"AND THAT'S WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN VOTED OFF LONG AGO!" Mark snapped.

"OH YEAH, WELL YOU ARE… ARE A LOSER!" Hank shouted.

"OH, NICE COMEBACK!"

"HEY, DON'T INSULT ME!"

"NOT AFTER YOU KEPT INSULTING ME FOR THE LAST 12 DAYS!"

"WHAT HAVE I EVER DONE TO BE STUCK ON THE SAME ISLAND AS YOU!?"

"WOW, FOR ONCE I ACTUALLY AGREE WITH YOU!"

"WHY DON'T YOU GO HOME!? NOBODY WANTS YOU HERE!"

"YOU ARE ONE TO TALK!"

Hank and Mark started to pant heavily glaring daggers at each other. Everyone stared at the whole thing stunned their shouting battle.

"Whoa… Just whoa…" Xigbar said to the camera.

The two animals glared at each other for what seemed like an eternity.

Then, Mark broke the silence.

"Hopeless… You are completely hopeless…" The cheetah said walking off.

"M-Mark!" Ace said running after him.

Hank smirked before he walked off. "Humph. I scared him off."

Suddenly, he noticed Xigbar, Lilo, Fuuka and Swiper. The former two was not happy.

"What?"

"That was the first time I ever yelled at somebody like that." Mark said sadly to the camera. "But what Hank said was just horrible. He really stepped over the line this time."

"Can you believe that cat actually talked back to me? ME!?" Hank said to the camera in anger. "Did he forget that he was in the minority and yelling at me will hurt his chances of staying? Not like they are that big to begin with."

"After seeing Mark and Hank's shouting battle, it only made me more determined to take Mark to the Final 2. Mainly because even though Hank deserved each and every word he got, I could tell Mark was regretting saying those things." Ace said to the camera. He then sighed. "I swear Hank is a demon in dog form."

(Day 29, Reward Challenge)

All seven contestants walked onto the mat where Tinyrocket was waiting.

"So how are you guys going?" The host asked.

"Still a bit bummed about Clover." Xigbar said before the others nodded.

"I could understand that but remember, we are in a middle of the game." Tinyrocket explained. "After all, Clover wouldn't want to see you unhappy like this."

Everyone gave muttered agreements.

"Anyway, here is your next Reward Challenge." Tinyrocket explained. "It is a test of luck. You will go up to the top of a hill where you a giant maze going downwards. Also, up there are barrels. The aim of the game is simple, pick the barrel you think will be get you to the bottom fastest. Whoever does that win Reward."

"A-Are you serious?" Fuuka asked surprised.

"That CAN'T be safe." Ace said shaking his head.

"Actually, it is. This Challenge is based off of Mario Party 7." Lilo explained.

"That's right, Lilo. If they can do it, so can you!" Tinyrocket nodded. "The reward is a trip to a snowboarding lodge."

This made bewildered everyone. "SNOWBOARDING?"

Suddenly, Lilo realised something.

"DK's Snowboard Summit from Mario Kart Wii!" Lilo realised.

"That's right! Whoever wins Reward gets to go up in there to the snowy mountains!" Tinyrocket nodded. This created a lot of excited murmurs. He then held up some straws. "Done, let's draw straws whoever picks the longest one gets to go first. Whoever gets the second longest one gets to go second and etc."

"Okay, got it." Mark nodded walking forward.

"Out of my way, fuzzball!" Hank shouting stepping forward.

"Um, Hank, hello? You are technically a fuzzball too!" Mark said as if he was talking to an idiot.

"I don't care! I get to pick first!" The dog shouted.

"Now, now. There are enough straws to go around!" Tinyrocket said trying to calm them down.

Later, everyone picks straws. Then, everyone picked a barrel and got into it.

"Is everyone ready?" Tinyrocket asked. Everyone nodded. "All right for Reward… Survivors in 3, 2, 1, GO!"

Everyone poked their heads into the barrels and started to roll their barrels down the paths into the maze. A few seconds after the Challenge started, a barrel rolled down a path and crashed into another barrel.

"Ow! That hurt!"

"Hey! What's the idea of putting trucks in the maze!"

"Oh, one more thing! For those who don't play Mario Party 7, then you should know the barrels will occasionally bump each other." Tinyrocket said.

"Why you little… OW!"

"Hey, be more careful!"

"How can I be careful when it is spinning out of control!?"

"Whoa, my head's spinning!"

"This is a bit too much!"

"Feels good!"

"OW! Mark, that was YOUR barrel, wasn't it? Don't deny it!"

"Always quick to blame others, eh, bone-breath!"

"SO IT WAS YOU!"

Tinyrocket couldn't help himself. He held his sides while laughing hysterically.

Suddenly, he noticed a barrel rolled out of the maze. Said barrel slowly rolled towards the young host. Then, the person inside the barrel poked his/her dizzy head out.

"HANK WINS REWARD!"

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?" Mark's voice shouted from somewhere in the downwards maze.

"I won!?" Hank said snapping out of his dizziness. He then smirked. "YEE-HAW! I won! That means I am better than Mark! MUCH better! I am invincible! Invincible! In…"

That was all he got out before Fuuka's barrel rolled into his.

Later, Tinyrocket and Hank stood in right of everyone.

"Congratulations, Hank. You won the Reward!" Tinyrocket smiled.

"I heard of dumb luck but sheesh…" Mark said crossing his arms.

Ace put a comforting hand of the cheetah's shoulder. "Just ignore him."

"Anyway, you will be going on a snowboarding trip. But you can also bring another person with you to the trip. Who is it?" Tinyrocket asked.

"That's a no-brainer!" Hank smirked before turning to the others.

To see Swiper waving his hands in front of his face and shaking his head frantically. As if he doesn't want to go.

The dog caught his drift. "Um, Xigbar?"

"Really?" The one-eyed man asked surprised as well as everyone else.

"Yep!" Hank smiled.

"Um, okay, thanks…" Xigbar said walking over.

"Also, you can choose my person to go to Exile." Tinyrocket said.

"And, of course I'll choose…" Hank smirked.

"Me." Swiper piped up.

This surprised everyone.

"Really?" Hank asked surprised.

"Yes." Swiper nodded.

"Well, if you say so, pardner." The dog said before turning to Tinyrocket. "I am sending Swiper."

"Okay, then. Swiper, the boat for Exile Island will be waiting for you. Hank, Xigbar, you both got a date at the snowboarding trip. As for the rest of you, I got nothing for you. You may all leave."

(Exile Island)

Swiper wasted no time darting into the cavern after being dropped off at Exile Island. After reaching the cavern, he got on all fours and shook his fur dry.

"Well, that was a sunny welcome." The fox said sarcastically.

"Hank is a good example of dumb luck as he won Reward. I asked him if he can send him to Exile Island and he did." Swiper said to the camera. "To confirm our Final 2, I need to find that Immunity idol."

He then read the sign. "Now let see what we got here."

"I read the three clues that was on the sign. At first, they made little sense to me then I started to think about it logically."

Outside the cavern in the eternal rain, he went over to a spot. "Now, let's see here. According to the clues, it should be right here."

He then started digging.

"I was digging at that spot for what seemed like an eternity. I was starting to think that I was in the wrong place."

"Hmm… What's this? Could it be…" He said coming across an item.

He then grabbed it and gave it a big tug. He pulled so hard, he landed on his behind.

"Ouch, that smarts!"

Swiper then looked at the item in his hand. His eyes widened when he saw that it was the Immunity Idol. There was a note attached to it.

The schemer wasted no time taking the note and reading with a huge smile on his face.

"Congratulations, you have found the Immunity Idol. This will protect you from one Tribal Council. This item becomes useless at the Final 3."

As if on cue, thunder crashed in the background.

"I did it. It wasn't easy but I did it. I have gotten the Immunity Idol. The way I see it, I got this game in the bag!" Swiper said to the camera with a smirk.

(Snowboarding Trip)

Xigbar and Hank stood in amazement clad in winter clothes they got when they came to the resort. They were staring at a snowboarding resort and that only a helicopter ride away from the hot and scorching island that they are on.

"Whoa…" Xigbar said in awe.

"Took the words right out of my mouth." Hank said.

"Well, shall we?" Xigbar asked looking down at his friend.

"Let's!" The brown dog smirked.

With that, the two ran off t

"I won the Reward today. I am invincible." Hank said to the camera smirking. "I wanted to bring Swiper with me and send to Mark to Exile Island but Swiper wanted me to send him to Exile Island instead. Which is fine with me. It gives him a chance to get the Immunity Idol and I am still away from that fuzzball."

Xigbar and Hank stood on a large snowy hill. The former was holding a giant inner tube.

"Are you sure you don't want to snowboard with the others?" Hank asked.

"No. You are the reason I am even here. And I know for obvious reasons, you stink at snowboarding." Xigbar smirked. "Besides, I prefer surfing. Come on, let's have fun together."

Hank gave a small smile. "Thanks, pardner…"

"No prob." Xigbar smirked as he put the tube down.

He and Hank then climbed in the tube.

"Ready?" Xigbar smirked.

"Ready!" Hank said smirking back.

"GO!" The two shouted as they raced down the hill together in their inner tube darting straight down the hill.

"YEEHAW!"

"BOOYA!"

The two started to sled down the hill going faster and faster.

"Watch it, Xig. We are heading towards that ramp." Hank warned.

"I know." The Nobody smirked.

Hank's eyes widened. "WHAT!? You are not seriously going off that thing, are you?"

"Oh, yeah!" Xigbar said with a glint in his eye.

"Somebody call the asylum!" Hank shouted to the camera. "I think Xigbar is crazy!"

The dog closed his eyes in fear. "I can't look!"

The tube continued to speed towards the ramp. Soon, it flew off it sending them flying through the air.

"WHEE-HEEEE!"

"MOMMYYYYY!"

The tube then landed on the ground making a big thud in the snow. It then slowly skidded to a stop.

Xigbar laughed heartily. "That was almost as much fun as my fight against Sora! What do you think, Hank?"

The dog said nothing.

"Hank?" Xigbar said with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah… Fun…" Hank said. His fur then turned as white as the snow before fainting onto it.

Xigbar blinked twice. "Okay…"

"How Hank is the head of security back at his node I will never know!" Xigbar said to the camera.

"There are only two things I am afraid of! Snakes and Heights!" Hank said to the camera in anger.

Later, Xigbar and Hank went back up the hill, the latter still a bit spooked and very vex.

"All right, all right! From now on, no more ramps!" Xigbar said rolling his good eye.

"Well, you better!" Hank snapped.

"I know for a fact that Lilo would LOVE to do something like that." Xigbar muttered. "So why did you do it?"

"Hm?" Hank asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Why did you ask me to come with you either of Swiper?"

"Hank and I may be tight but he is tighter with Swiper." Xigbar said to the camera. "I was confused for a minute but then Swiper volunteered to go to Exile Island, I got suspicious. Heck, who didn't?"

"Why not? You are my bud!" Hank said.

"I know but you are closer with Swiper!" Xigbar said with a raised eyebrow.

Hank nervously sweat-dropped at this. "Um, well, the thing is…"

"Hoo boy. Here am I supposed to be relaxing but instead, I have to deal with a tricky situation!" Hank said to the camera. "I literally have to pull out an excuse out of my bag if I want my Final 2 deal with Swiper to be safe"

"Swiper has a huge fear of snow." The cow-dog lied.

Xigbar blinked his good eye twice. "You're kidding!"

"Y-yeah! He told me that one time, he went to a hotel with some of his friends and his tail got caught in the freezer!" Hank said. He then winced. "And believe you me, getting your tail frozen is NOT a good experience."

"Ow!" Xigbar cringed.

"Yes, and the reason he didn't wanted to tell anyone was because it was a VERY traumatizing and embarrassing situation." Hank said. "In fact, I'm not allowed to tell anyone so let this me between you and me, k?"

"K. I understand." Xigbar nodded.

"Good." Hank smiled. "And come, let's ride some more and no more ramps!"

With that, he walked off.

"Yep, when I am good, I am really good!" Hank said to the camera smirking. "The lie was a little messy but I think I did a bang-up job of having Xigbar fall for it."

As the arrogant canine walked up the hill, Xigbar narrowed his good eye.

"What? Do you think I am born yesterday? Nobody would be stupid enough to fall for an excuse like that! Heck, I'm surprised Hank actually thought it will work! It's plain obvious that Swiper asked Hank to send him to Exile to get the Immunity Idol!" Xigbar snapped at the camera. He then smirked "Well, that's all right! Because if he DID found the Idol, we will vote it out and it will backfire on either Mark or Ace. It depends on who wins Immunity."

(Tribe Passion)

Ace and Mark both sat inside the shelter looking content. Mark had a wide grin on his face.

"Ah… The sound of silence…" The cheetah sighed.

"Yeah, it is a lot more quieter without you-know-who!" Ace nodded.

"Well, we lost the Reward but that's okay because the only people here are the girls aka the quieter ones." Ace said to the camera with a smile. "Xigbar and Hank are at that snowboarding trip and Swiper is on Exile Island meaning that we get to rest for a while."

"Which reminds me…" The brown-haired man spoke up.

"Yes?" Mark asked with a raised eyebrow.

"You know when Swiper asked to sent to Exile Island?" Ace asked.

"Yeah." Mark nodded.

"I think it was because he wanted that Immunity Idol. I'm sure of it." Ace said.

Mark said. "Gee, what happens if he finds it?"

"Nothing, now. But if he votes us off, he will be a target and most likely uses it on Xigbar, Lilo or Fuuka." Ace shrugged.

Mark frowned at this. "So basically if that happens, he basically has the Final 4."

"Yeah…" Ace sighed.

"B-But how do we know that he will find the Idol?" Mark asked.

"Because Swiper's right, he only has three clues but that is more than enough." Ace noted. "I guess we just have wait until tomorrow!"

"I hope we at least outlast Hank and Swiper."

"Me too, kid. Me too."

Meanwhile, Lilo and Fuuka walked by.

"I still can't believe Hank took Xigbar instead of Swiper!" Lilo said amazed.

"I know! I mean, aren't they supposed to be very close?" Fuuka agreed.

"At the Reward Challenge, Swiper didn't take his best friend to the Reward with him." Lilo said to the camera. "And what is even more amazing that Swiper asked to be taken to Exile."

"Do you think Swiper wanted the Immunity Idol?" Fuuka asked.

"I don't see any other reason to go there, Fuuka." Lilo sighed.

The green-haired girl frowned. "Oh, dear. What happens if he finds it?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, surely Xigbar thought the same thing and thinking up of a plan." Lilo reassured. "Till then, we just mingle."

"Y-Yeah. I suppose that is all we can do so far." Fuuka nodded.

(Day 30, Immunity Challenge)

Ace, Mark, Lilo and Fuuka stood on a mat as Tinyrocket walked up to them.

"All right! Let's bring in Xigbar and Hank from their Reward!" Tinyrocket announced.

Said two walked in.

"Yo!" Xigbar smirked.

"Howdy, y'all." Hank nodded.

"And we bring in Swiper from Exile Island." Tinyrocket said.

Said fox walked by.

"Hey, guys. Miss me?" Swiper said cheerfully.

"Like a slow-healing scrab." Ace said flatly.

"Oh, don't be a hater!"

"Now, now. Anyway, here is your next Immunity Challenge." Tinyrocket explained he motioned behind him. "Behind me is a panel of 21 tiles. Each one has a letter on it. Each letter is the first of your name, therefore these tiles represent you. Everyone will throw balls at the tiles. You will have three tiles and if they are all gone, you are gone. Last person standing wins Immunity. Now, Mark, the necklace?"

The cheetah nodded before walking over. "It's right here."

Tinyrocket smirked as he got the necklace. "All right, Immunity is back up for grabs! Now, let's figure out the positions."

Soon, everyone got into positions.

"All right! For Immunity on the line, contestants ready?" Tinyrocket asked. "First round, go!"

All seven contestants threw (or in Hank's case spat) a ball at the tiles.

SMASH!

Ace has hit Swiper's target, Fuuka has hit her own tile, Hank has also hit his own tile, Lilo has hit Fuuka's tile by mistake, Mark has hit Hank's tile, Swiper has hit Lilo's tile by mistake and Xigbar has hit Mark's tile.

"All right!" Tinyrocket announced. Swiper, Lilo and Mark has lost one tile. Fuuka and Hank has lost two tiles. They are on the bubble. Round 2 go!"

SMASH!

Ace has hit Swiper's tile yet again, Fuuka has hit Ace's tile, Hank has hit Lilo's tile, Lilo has hit Fuuka's tile yet again, Mark has hit Hank's tile, Swiper has hit Hank's tile by mistake and Xigbar has hit Mark's tile.

"All right!" Tinyrocket announced. Ace is now to two tiles. Swiper, Lilo and Mark are now to one. Hank and Fuuka are now out."

"Oh, well…" Fuuka frowned.

"Dang it!" Hank snarled.

"Okay, Round 3 go!"

SMASH!

Ace has hit Swiper's tile, Lilo has hit Ace's tile, Mark has hit Xigbar's tile, Swiper has hit Xigbar's tile by mistake, Xigbar has hit Mark's tile.

"All right! Lilo, Mark and Swiper are out. Ace and Xigbar both have one tile each." Tinyrocket said. "It is now a sudden-death tiebreaker."

"Aww…" Lilo lamented.

"Hoo boy…" Mark frowned knowing that he is next on the chopping block.

"Oh, well…" Swiper shrugged.

Ace and Xigbar glared at each other determined to win Immunity.

"All right, for Immunity, 3, 2, 1! GO!" Tinyrocket shouted.

SMASH!

"Xigbar hits Ace's tile while Ace misses him. XIGBAR WINS IMMUNITY!" Tinyrocket shouted.

"Booya!" The sniper smirked.

A few minutes later, Xigbar was standing in front of Tinyrocket as you put the Immunity Necklace around his neck.

"Congratulations, Xigbar, this is the second time you won Immunity with a 1-in-6 chance of winning."

"Sweet!"

"As for the rest of you, the game is over for one of you. You have this afternoon to figure out who. You may return to camp."

(Tribe Passion)

All seven contestants walked back to camp.

"Congrats of winning, Immunity, Xigbar." Lilo smiled.

"Thanks, Lil' Lilo!" The gunner smirked.

"I won Immunity today. I feel like a king today!" Xigbar said to the camera. "At first we were all going to vote off Mark but I been thinking a lot of the snowboarding trip."

"Well, Mark lost Immunity and unless I do something, he's doomed." Ace said to the camera. "Don't worry, I have a plan but it is very risky. If it fails, Mark and I are done for."

The mercenary then coughed a bit. "Um, guys?"

Everyone else stopped walking and turned towards him.

"Yes, what is it, Ace?" Mark asked.

The brown-haired man gave a deep sigh. "I want you to vote me out tonight."

Everyone gasped at this.

"No way!" Hank snapped narrowing his eyes in hatred.

Ace rolled his eyes. "I had a feeling that you would be against that request."

"Ace, no!" Mark cried.

"It's okay, Mark." Ace reassured. "I'll be fine."

"I swear if Ace goes home today instead of me, I will NEVER forgive myself." Mark said to the camera sadly.

"Well, tough luck, Acey!" Hank snapped. "We have already decided that Mark will go home if he doesn't win Immunity!"

Mark jerked his head towards him. "You don't get to decide that!"

"Actually, we did!" Hank smirked.

"We?" Xigbar said with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, we all decided to vote off Mark first!" Hank nodded.

"When was this?" Lilo quizzed.

"Now." Hank said quickly.

Everyone sweat-dropped at this.

"That's... Kinda unfair." Fuuka said.

"Aw, come on! Admit it! We would have gotten rid of Mark if Ace didn't step up!" Hank scolded. "Admit it!"

Xigbar nervously scratched the back of his head. "Well..."

"Ah ha!" Hank smirked. "Admit it, Mark is a goner."

Xigbar then started to think for a minute.

"Um, Xig?" Hank asked looking nervous.

"Are you sure you want to go, Ace?" Xigbar asked.

"I'm positive!" Ace nodded sternly.

"Huddle." Xigbar said.

He, Lilo, Fuuka, Hank and Swiper got into a huddle.

"So, what should we go?" Xigbar asked.

"What do you mean what should we do!?" Hank snapped. "Mark is a bigger Immunity threat than Ace is! HE should go!"

"Oh, you're just saying that because you hate him." Xigbar said rolling his good eye.

"Um, duh! Didn't these 30 days out here teach you anything?" Hank said.

"Hank DOES have a point. Ace may be a skilled mercenary but he still outrun a cheetah." Swiper noted.

"That may be true but even though he isn't more of a threat than Mark, he is still an Immunity threat." Fuuka noted. "He DID almost beat-off Xigbar-san for Immunity."

"But I hate him…" Hank said sounding like a spoiled brat.

"Oh, grow up, dude!" Lilo said rolling her eyes.

"Hmm… Are you sure you can okay with this? If Mark wins Immunity…" Swiper mused.

"We'll take our chances." Xigbar said. "So we are all in agreement?"

"Yeah!" Lilo, Fuuka and Swiper said.

"No!" Hank snapped.

"Well, screw you." Xigbar said before breaking the huddle looking at the two remaining loyal Kongs. "All right, Ace. You win. Mark is safe for tonight."

The brown-haired man gave a deep sigh of relief. "Thank you…"

"Ace, no…" Mark frowned.

Hank was angry for a bit but then, he smirked evilly. "And once again, one of Mark's allies goes because of Mark."

The cheetah turned to him with a peeved look on his face. "SHUT UP!"

"Make me!" Hank smirked.

Mark was going to yell again until Ace held his shoulder.

"Forgot him, Mark. Let's go back to the shelter!" The mercenary said.

Mark growled before shooting the arrogant Hank one final dark look before the two went off.

"Man, I can't tell you how upset I am when Ace volunteered to be voted off saving Mark!" Hank said to the camera before smirking. "But with Ace gone, poor Markie Warkie will be all alone!"

"Wow… Ace must really be close to Mark to throw away your game like that…" Lilo said impressed.

"Yeah…" Hank sighed shaking his head. "Too bad. I liked him."

Xigbar and Lilo glared at him.

"What?" Hank said.

"So it seems that there is no need for strategy so we can just relax till Tribal Council." Swiper said. "Come on, Hank! Let's go for a little walk!"

"K." Hank said. He then turned to the others. "See you guys in a bit."

"Cool." Xigbar shrugged.

With that, the two walked off.

"Well, what should we do now?" Lilo asked.

"You two can do whatever you want." Xigbar said. "I'M going spying."

"Spying?" Lilo asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I don't know for sure but I think he has the Immunity Idol." Xigbar said.

"Yeah, we think so too." Fuuka nodded.

"Yeah but we will never know until I find out for myself." Xigbar smirked. "Stay here."

And with that, the Nobody walked off leaving the two girls.

"I am as sharp as a knife so I know when something smells fishy and dude, Swiper and Hank smell like they just came out of a fish market." Xigbar said with a smirk. "Thankfully, I am known for my sneakiness so I should be able to eavesdrop on them without them knowing."

Meanwhile, Swiper and Hank were walking along the beach.

"So, any luck?" Hank asked.

"Hmm?" Swiper asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Um, I mean with the Immunity Idol." Hank said.

"Immunity Idol?" Swiper asked confused. Hank's eyes widened at this. "Oh, you mean… THIS?"

With that, he casually got out the Immunity Idol.

"Y-You got it!" Hank smiled.

"Was there any doubts?" Swiper smirked.

"No doubts at all!" Hank beamed.

"With this Idol, our Final 2 deal is set. All we have to do now is vote off Ace and Mark before the grand moment!" Swiper said to the camera with a smirk. "Hopefully, if Fuuka decides to join us, I won't have to use it at all. But for now, I am safe."

"Sooo… are we basically in the Final 2." Hank said.

"Yep. All we have to do is keep shut!" Swiper said.

"You got it, pardner!" Hank smirked. "Believe me. Nobody will be the wiser!"

Unknown to them, Xigbar was watching them from the bushes smirking evilly.

Meanwhile, Mark and Ace were talking to each other.

"Ace, why?" Mark asked. "Why do you have to throw away your game like that?"

"Well, aside from the fact you're my friend, I couldn't stand the thought of Hank outlasting you." Ace frowned.

"Ace…"

"Hey, don't worry! It's a slim one but I think we'll both be safe." The mercenary reassured.

"Really? How?" Mark asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, first, we…" Ace said.

He then noticed that Xigbar, Lilo and Fuuka walking over.

"Oh, hey, guys!" Ace smirked.

"Hey." Lilo said.

"What is it, guys?" Mark asked. "Tribal Council already?"

"No, nothing like that." Xigbar said shaking his head. "Just came here to tell you something."

"Really? What's that?" Ace asked with a raised eyebrow.

"That Swiper is going to get the most votes tonight." Xigbar smirked.

Ace and Mark's eyes widened.

"R-Really?" Mark said not believing what he was hearing.

"That's right. We been talking and we decided to vote off Swiper!" Xigbar nodded.

"T-That's… That's awesome!" Mark said still in disbelief. "But why?"

"Because Swiper can't be trusted to keep safe today." Xigbar explained.

"Darn straight!" Ace nodded.

"T-Thank you, guys! T-This means a lot to us!" Mark nodded.

"You welcome." Xigbar said.

"What's that?" Mark asked.

"DON'T tell Swiper or Hank about this." Xigbar instructed.

"Don't need to tell us twice!" Ace nodded.

Xigbar chuckled a bit. "All right, then it settled! It is 5-2 for Swiper! Come on, girls!"

With that, the three walked leaving Ace and Mark.

"Wow, can you believe it? They are actually keeping you and getting rid of Swiper!" Mark smiled.

Ace thought for a moment. "I don't think that's the case."

Mark frowned at this. "What do you mean?"

"Listen, there is something I want you to do." Ace said.

Meanwhile, with Xigbar, Lilo and Fuuka.

"Gee, Xigbar, I don't feel right about lying to them like that." Lilo said.

"Well, technically, we didn't lie. We DID say that we were going to vote off Swiper!" The Nobody said.

"Yes, but keeping them in the dark about this still makes me feel bad." Fuuka frowned.

Xigbar simply shrugged. "Hey, Ace DID say he wanted to leave before Mark so…"

Lilo looked appalled. "Xigbar!"

The sniper sighed. "I know it's harsh but we can't afford to keep Swiper's Immunity Idol tonight."

"True…" Fuuka said.

"And if we didn't "lied", then they will most likely target Hank and it will end up in a tie." Xigbar sighed.

"But basically unless we want our game to be done, we have to mislead them like that?" Lilo asked.

"Yeah…"

"This stinks…"

(Tribal Council)

The remaining seven contestants carried their torches to Tribal Council Cave where Tinyrocket is waiting.

"Welcome back, you may sit down. We now bring in the jury!"

Ace's face instantly shot up hoping to see Clover but instead he found Eduardo wearing his trademark pants plus a grey jacket with a white skull on his back.

"Eduardo voted off at the second-to-last Tribal Council." Tinyrocket said.

Ace's face fell. "She's still not better…"

Mark put a sympathetic hand on his shoulder.

"Now, Ace, judging from your reaction, you were expecting to see Clover?" Tinyrocket asked.

"Yes, ever since I saw her leave the game, I kept worrying about her safety." The mercenary frowned.

"Senor Ace…" Eduardo frowned.

"Lilo, you looked shocked after finding out Clover was taking out of the game." Tinyrocket said.

"Of course, I like most of the people here and hearing Clover leave the game was horrible." The Hawaiian child said sadly. "I know I would hate it to leave the game like that."

"I see, pardon me to change the subject, what was your reaction to Eduardo being voted out?" Tinyrocket asked.

"I was and still am shocked at the vote! I didn't expect him to go!" The cheetah said surprised. "I thought I could trust my alliance but I was wrong!"

Eduardo nodded.

"Swiper, do you have any idea who flipped?" Tinyrocket asked.

"Well, Hank and I did." The purple-clad fox said sheepishly.

"I knew it." Eduardo said narrowing his eyes.

"Why?" Tinyrocket asked.

"Because the alliance I used to be in has a muscle-bound creature, a mercenary AND a cheetah." Swiper explained. "There was no way in heck I would win Immunity with them there. So I switched the other side because the only Immunity threat is Xigbar."

Ace narrowed his eyes.

"Hank, what about you? Why did YOU switched?" Tinyrocket asked.

"Like I said at the last Tribal Council, I only wanted to get rid of Augie." The cow-dog scolded. "You actually think I'll keep that worthless ball of fur without a good reason!"

Eduardo gritted his teeth in anger at this.

"Worthless?" Mark asked.

"Yes, worthless!" Hank snapped.

"At least I am a threat at Immunity Challenges!" Mark snapped. "Being a quadruped, you messed up most of the Challenges you are in!"

Eduardo's eyes widened at this.

"Hey! I been kept around because a strong asset to the team!" Hank snapped.

"No, Zoro got voted out because he was lazy, Nermal got voted out because he was weak and Lucy got voted out because she was… Lucy!" Mark scolded. "The only reason you made merge is because those people overshadowed you! And don't say loyalty because Xigbar, Lilo and Fuuka could say otherwise!"

Eduardo smirked before he crossed his arms. "Senor Mark is all grown-up."

"Shut up, fuzzball!" Hank snapped.

"Or what? You are going to vote me off twice?" Mark smirked. "Or are you going to breathe your bad breath on me!"

Ace covered his mouth. It was the only way to avoid laughing like a hyena.

"The only thing about Ace volunteering to be voted off is that I get to watch you fall on your face!" Mark snapped.

Eduardo's eyes widened in horror.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. What was the last part?" Tinyrocket asked.

"Oh, yeah. Ace told everyone he wanted to be voted out." The young man frowned.

"Ace, why?" Tinyrocket asked.

"Because I don't want to see Hank outlast Mark." The brown-haired man explained.

"Well, tough luck, pardner! Mark is going after you!" Hank snapped.

"Shut up, you sheriff-wannabe!" Mark snapped.

Hank's eyes bugged out. "WHAT DID YOU CALL ME, PRETTY-CAT!?"

"Now, now! Now, does Ace choosing to leave the game changes anything, Fuuka?" Tinyrocket asked.

"Well… Not really even though Mark is a slightly bigger threat." The high-school girl explained. "The only difference is the noise."

"One more question before we go to the votes, Xigbar, how do you votes are going to go?" Tinyrocket said.

"It will be go as everyone planned." The Nobody said smirking cockily.

Ace and Mark smirked as well. Lilo and Fuuka looked guilty. Hank seems peeved and Swiper looks neutral.

"All right, voting time! Xigbar, you got Immunity, you want to give it up?" Tinyhammer asked.

"Nope." The Nobody said casually.

"All right then! You cannot vote for Xigbar. Speaking of which, you're up!"

Xigbar nodded before getting up, cracking his knuckles and walked into the cave knowing exactly who to vote for.

"Sorry, little fox dude. But you have the Immunity Idol and we can't afford to let you keep it. Let's talk it over at camp." Xigbar said holding up the name "Swiper" to the camera.

Next was Mark. He jogged into the cave feeling just as excited as Xigbar.

"After all the stuff you did and said to you, are you really surprised I am voting for you?" Mark said holding up the name "Hank" to the camera.

Next was Hank. Still a bit let-down after what Mark said, he stormed into the cave grumbling.

"Should I or shouldn't I?" Hank said.

Next was Ace. Getting up and rotating his neck, he walked into the cave to write a name.

"This blindside is going to go down in Survivor history." Ace said.

Next was Lilo. She wasn't any excited as the men about the vote as she slowly walked in.

"Xigbar's right. This is the smartest move. Right?"

Next was Swiper. He whistled while putting his hands behind his head and casually walked into the cave.

"I'm voting for you… because you asked me to." Swiper said holding up the name "Ace" to the camera.

Last was Fuuka. She gave a deep sigh before walking into the cave to write down the final name.

"This is going to go crazy…"

She then rushed back and sat back down in her seat. Tinyrocket then got up.

"I'll get the votes."

Tinyrocket then walked in and got the box of votes.

"All right, I'll read them out." The host said. "First vote, Ace."

Ace doesn't look surprised at this.

"Second vote, Mark. One vote, Ace. One vote, Mark."

Most of them looked surprised at this but then they realized who cast the vote.

"Hank…" Xigbar groaned slapping his forehead.

"Third vote, Hank. One vote, Ace. One vote, Mark. One vote, Hank."

Xigbar, Lilo and Fuuka looked confused.

"Fourth vote, Hank. Two votes, Hank. One vote, Ace. One vote, Mark."

"Yeah, well, let me return the favour at the next Tribal Council!" Hank snarled unaware the horrified looks on his fellow Kremlings' faces.

"Don't worry." Swiper reassured.

"Fifth vote, Swiper. Two votes, Hank. One vote, Ace. One vote, Mark. One vote, Swiper."

Swiper and Hank's eyes went beady.

"Wait, what?"

"Sixth vote, Swiper. Two votes, Hank. Two votes, Swiper. One vote, Ace. One vote, Mark. One vote left."

Ace did his best not to laugh.

"Tenth person voted out of Survivor and third member of the Jury…"

The majority looked uneasy.

"…Is Swiper with three votes."

"YES!" Eduardo cheered.

Swiper and Hank's jaws hit the floor. They both looked around to see Ace and Mark smirking while Xigbar, Lilo and Fuuka were stunned by what happened.

"Now, unless you have the Immunity Idol, you have to bring me your torch." Tinyhammer said.

Swiper sat in his seat not really knowing what to do. He looked at Hank who looked worried. The fox then sighed.

"Sorry, Hank."

With that, he got out the Immunity Idol and walked over to the host with his ears dropped. Eduardo stared at the scene surprised that he had the Immunity Idol. He then handed it Tinyrocket.

"Yes, this is definitely the Immunity Idol no doubt." Tinyrocket nodded. "All votes against Swiper are negated!"

Hank's eyes bugged out in horror knowing what's coming next.

"Which means… With two votes, Hank is the tenth person voted out and the third member of our jury. You need to bring me your torch!"

Eduardo shrugged. "Oh, well. I am happy either way."

"Dude, I am sooo sorry…" Swiper apologized sadly.

"We all are." Xigbar frowned.

"Well, it looks like I out-last you after all." Mark smirked crossing his arms.

Ace, on the other hand fell off his chair laughing.

"I… I…" Hank said before narrowing his eyes. "I DEMAND A REVOTE!"

"Sorry, Hank. You know the rules. After the votes are read, the decision is final!" Tinyrocket said.

"But… But… They cheated!" Hank shouted angrily.

"It isn't cheating in this game!" Tinyrocket explained.

"But… But…" Hank said before he looked at Mark who was simply smirking at him.

The dog growled narrowing his eyes in pure hatred.

"You are NOT winning this game, cat!"

"Maybe… But at least I played better than YOU did!" Mark smirked.

This made Hank angrier before he grabbed the torch with his teeth and walked over to Tinyrocket. Ace continued to laugh unaware that Xigbar was casting him a death glare.

"Hank, the tribe has spoken." Tinyrocket said before putting his giant spoon on the flame extinguishing it. "You may now go."

Hank turned to Mark. "I am going to bite your neck off at the Juror House, loser!"

"Okay! But till then, deflate that giant ego of yours!" The cheetah shouted.

Hank growled.

"I said you may now go."

"Whatever…" Hank scoffed walking off.

"I think it is safe to say that nobody saw that coming. Just goes to show that you are NEVER safe at Tribal Council." Tinyhammer said. "You may now leave."

Next Time on Survivor…

We now see Xigbar yelling at Ace.

"You tricked us! You freaking tricked us!" Xigbar shouted angrily.

"Just like you tricked us?" Ace asked with crossed arms and a raised eyebrow.

Everyone demands answers for last night's vote.

"Okay, seriously, what the heck? What was THAT about?" Swiper asked angrily.

We now see Tinyrocket talking to the contestants.

"Today's Challenge is going to be played in pairs!" Tinyrocket announced.

And a Reward Challenge brings surprise to everyone.

"Ooh, can I team up with Xigbar?" Lilo piped up.

"What? What about me?" A voice said from the bushes.

We now see a slow-motion shot of Lilo's eyes widening.

"I can't tell you how angry I am! The only reason I got voted out is because my so-called friends backstabbed Swiper and caused him to lose his Immunity Idol! And now, our Final 2 deal is ruined! And what's worse, I lost to Mark!" Hank said before sighing. "Well, it was fun while it lasted. Swiper, it might be tough but please win Survivor for me. As for you Mark. BURN. IN. HADES.

Swiper: Xigbar, Lilo, Fuuka. (N/A)

Hank: Mark, Ace

Ace: Swiper

Mark: Hank

There's Chapter 11! Ah, so Hank finally goes down in flames. He was a good negative character to use for the show. At least, my story actually has Lucy really making merge and made her the main OTTN (Over The Top Negative) Character but since I scrapped it, Hank took her place. And I must say, he done his friend's spot justice. Anyway, review away if you are still reading this.
