Previously on, Survivor,
Raine discussed with her alliance about voting out En-Tee-I out instead of Hartman. Ren had a problem with it, but according to Raine, it was the right idea. She wanted to make sure that Kazooie was out of the game period.
At Nokowawa, Rainbow Dash considered making an alliance with Kratos, should her alliance with JD and Bambi fall apart.
At the first Redemption Island duel, Kazooie narrowly defeated Muraki, sending him out of the game for good. This angered Ren.
Following Kazooie's win, Raine knew it was crucial that a strong player has to go. At this point, she wanted En-Tee-I to go home, thinking his huge intellect would help him beat Kazooie. She also joined up with Regal and Fluttershy as a side alliance.
Back at Nokowawa, JD proposed to Sam and Banjo to keep Bambi and take out Niko as he, like Raine, had a sudden interest to make sure Kazooie lost the next duel.
At the challenge, Hapino defeated Nokowawa by a long shot.
Before tribal council, the alliance of JD, Sam, Banjo, and Kratos agreed to vote out Niko at tribal council. Kratos then told Niko about his boot, and told him to beat Kazooie, as it was the reason he was going. Niko wasn't happy with it, but agreed.
At tribal council, as planned, Niko was sent to Redemption Island. 15 are left in the game, who will be sent to Redemption next?
Hapino: Bomberman, En-Tee-I, Fluttershy, Hartman, Raine, Regal, Ren, and Squidward
Nokowawa: Bambi, Banjo, JD, Kratos, No-Face, Rainbow Dash, and Sam
Redemption Island: Kazooie and Niko
– – – – –
Redemption Island Day Night 8
Niko walked into Redemption Island, with a goal in mind.
"I was voted out last night, and I have a reason to be here. Kazooie, man... that bitch is going down tomorrow. When Niko Bellic has a goal, he gets it done." - Niko
Kazooie watched him walk in, and smirked, "You must be Niko Bellic?"
Niko didn't greet her, which ticked Kazooie off.
"Fine, be that way. You won't be here long." replied Kazooie.
Niko rolled his eyes.
"I've won one duel so far, and I plan to win them all. Niko looks easy. I hope that we get a brain challenge, cause I don't think he's that bright." - Kazooie
– – – – –
Nokowawa Day 9
JD walked into camp, and crashed himself right between Rainbow Dash and No-Face on the wooden bench.
"Well, that was fun wasn't it?" chuckled JD, "Let's never go back there again!"
Kratos nodded, "With hope, Niko will beat Kazooie. Then... well, the game really begins."
"I sincerely hope we do not go back to tribal council. I want this tribe to enter the merge strong and with numbers. If Hapino beats us every time, then we won't make it far." - Kratos
"Aren't you afraid that Kazooie might go home?" asked Bambi to Banjo.
Banjo shook his head.
"Nah. I'm not. Kazooie would've been more of an obstacle then an ally anyway." confessed Banjo, trying to lie.
JD laughed for no reason. He was really nervous right now.
"There is a reason why I don't want to return to tribal... because there is a high chance that I will have to turn on one alliance. No-Face is the only one not involved with me, and he's valuable right now. Agh!" - JD
No-Face noticed this, "You aiight JD? I don't think that needed a laugh."
"Don't worry!" smiled JD, "I'm super!"
JD thought of something quickly, "Boy am I tired. I must go to bed!"
He ran off to bed, gathering a lot of weird looks.
"JD is really acting strange... stranger then normal. Somethings fishy around here..." - Rainbow Dash
Dash was soon left alone with Bambi by the beach.
"Are you worried about JD?" asked Rainbow Dash.
Bambi nodded, "He was acting a bit weird."
Dash shook her head, "Not just a bit... VERY weird..."
"You wouldn't think..." wondered Bambi.
"I don't want to think..." sighed Dash, "I just want to get some sleep."
Bambi nodded, still thinking about what Rainbow Dash said.
– – – – –
Hapino Day 9
Bomberman, Squidward, and Ren were talking. Well, rather, Squidward was laying down next to them, not listening.
"So what's going on around here?" asked Bomberman.
"I'm not the one to be asking." replied Ren, "Just focus on winning right now."
Bomberman knew better, judging by Ren's current attitude.
"You can tell when Ren is trying to be subtle. He doesn't look at you, nor does he even want to be talked with. He wants to win, win, WIN! Heh, he isn't that great at it..." - Bomberman
"Tell me, Ren," sighed Bomberman, "I won't tell anyone you told me."
Ren sighed.
"The chance to blindside En-Tee-I must be between me, Squidward, Raine, and Regal. If anyone catches word... then En-Tee-I will find out!" - Ren
"Maybe if we lose the challenge, then I'll tell you." replied Ren.
"So it's not going to be Hartman going home?" smirked Bomberman.
Ren looked back at him, "How'd you find that out!"
"Cause you just told him 'you eediot!'." mocked Squidward. Ren growled at him.
"Shut up!"
"So who is it?" asked Bomberman.
Ren growled, "Like I said, IF we go to tribal council! Jesus!"
Bomberman shrugged, and walked off.
"I think Ren is trying to get rid of me... but I could be wrong. I always have to look out for myself." - Bomberman
Meanwhile, Regal and Fluttershy were returning back to camp with treemail.
"Oh... I hope they took out a strong man to fight Kazooie..." worried Fluttershy.
Regal nodded, "We can only hope. That would mean the other tribe is helping us take out Kazooie."
Fluttershy smiled lightly, "It's like 16 vs. 1..."
"True." replied Regal.
"Today, we have the duel, and right now I'm not interested on what goes on there." - Regal
"You should go to the duel," suggested Fluttershy.
Regal nodded, "I have seen many duels in my past just like Redemption Island. I would like to go."
When they got to camp, Regal handed the note to Hartman.
"People going to the duel," stated Hartman pointing at the two members, "Regal and Bomberman."
"Why am I going?" asked Bomberman, confused.
Hartman snarled at Bomberman, "I gave you an order!"
Bomberman sighed, walking off with Regal, "We're not in the military."
"Redemption Island... another day, another duel. All I can say is... I hope Kazooie goes home." - Bomberman
– – – – –
"Come on in guys!"
Both tribes had to send in 2 people from their tribe to come and watch the duel at hand. Nokowawa chose No-Face and Kratos, and Hapino chose Bomberman and Regal.
"We'll now bring in the competitors for today's duel."
Both Kazooie and Niko walked out into the duel arena.
"Welcome to Redemption Arena. No-Face, Kratos, Bomberman, and Regal have all come to watch you compete in the challenge."
"I have faith in Niko to pull this one out. If he keeps his composure, he will be fine." - Kratos
"I'm surprised Niko Bellic was the one voted out. Nevertheless, I think it was a smart idea if they wanted Kazooie out." - Regal
"This is it. One shot to stay in the game. Winner stays, and the loser is out for good. Here's how the challenge works: You have a bunch of stone dominoes. You must stack them all the way from start to finish. You may not place any dominoes past this white line. If done correctly, you will set off a crash course, and a button will be pressed. If your flag raises, you stay in the game."
"This will be a cakewalk, just like the first one. Bellic's going DOWN!" - Kazooie
"Man... I hate dominoes. I'll have to take my time on this one... Dammit!" - Niko
"Survivors ready? GO!"
Kazooie grabbed a stack of dominoes and stacked them up along the line. Niko was taking his time, and he was behind Kazooie in terms of how long the line was.
Kazooie, however, was going too fast, and not paying attention to how the crash course would turn out. She knew Niko wasn't going to win, so she being a bit cocky.
"I'm ready Jeff!" called Kazooie, knocking the first domino down.
The crash course went along its way...
…
…
but stopped in the middle.
"Not good enough." called Jeff.
Kazooie growled, and started to fix her mistakes. Niko was slightly catching up. With only 60 dominoes to spare, he had to use some space or no space at all between the dominoes.
"Go too fast, lose your concentration." muttered Regal to Bomberman.
Niko looked over at Kazooie, and smirked. He knew if he had a chance of winning, he'd have to hope Kazooie screws up again.
Kazooie called for Jeff a second time. She pushed the first domino over and...
…
…
…
…
It stopped just barely before the last hill. Niko smirked, as his chances just rose.
"Okay Jeff, take a look at this one!" yelled Niko, pushing his domino block over.
It...
….
….
….
….
…
….
Succeeded.
"Dammit!" swore Kazooie. Niko, meanwhile, did an arm pump.
"NIKO WINS AND STAYS ALIVE!"
Everyone clapped for Niko, including Hapino. Kazooie glared up at her former tribe, but Regal and Bomberman shrugged back at her.
"Congrats, Niko. You've won the duel, and stay alive to fight another day. As for you Kazooie, the game is officially over for you. Pull your buff off, and leave Redemption Island."
Kazooie angrily walked over to the fire pit, and threw her green buff violently into the urn.
"Tell Banjo that I want him to win this!" yelled Kazooie as she left.
"Niko, you may return to your camp and await the next duel. As for the others, stay here for a moment."
– – – – –
Kazooie's Final Words
"I'm not happy to be out of the game this early in. I wanted to actually make the jury or even Final 2 or 3! Damn! I wanted to actually play the game with Banjo, since he would be easy to beat in the end, since he barely does anything to help himself..."
– – – – –
As Niko left, Regal, Kratos, Bomberman, and No-Face looked at Jeff weirdly.
"The twists are just happening."
"Oh no." muttered No-Face.
Kratos shook his head.
"Drop your buffs."
All 4 of them dropped their buffs; some mad, and some surprised.
"Come and collect your new buffs."
Both No-Face and Kratos got a green Hapino buff, while Bomberman and Regal got a purple Nokowawa buff.
"One last order of business. New Hapinos, choose someone from Hapino to join Bomberman and Regal as a new member of Nokowawa, and vice versa."
All of them talked about it and thought about it.
The New Hapinos decided to send Ren to Nokowawa, and the new Nokowawas decided to send JD to Hapino.
"That's settled then. They will be alerted by a cameraman right now. I'll see you all for the next challenge."
Hapino: En-Tee-I, Fluttershy, Hartman, JD, Kratos, No-Face, Raine, and Squidward
Nokowawa: Bambi, Banjo, Bomberman, Rainbow Dash, Regal, Ren, and Sam
Redemption Island: Niko
– – – – –
Nokowawa Night 9
Bomberman and Regal arrived at the new Nokowawa camp. Ren was already there, and pissed off at them. He had lost his old green buff, and now is sporting a purple buff on his head.
"Did you send me here?" he shrieked.
Regal shook his head, "Kratos and No-Face did. We have nothing to do with you being here. Trust us."
Bomberman nodded.
"Suddenly, I find myself on Nokowawa, a tribe that I do not trust what so ever. The only good thing that happened today was Kazooie losing the challenge. That and I also got away from the drill sergeant." - Ren
Ren growled, "Well, we'll have to make due with what we can find here. Alliances, deals, whatever we need! We have to stick together."
Regal nodded, as did Bomberman, albeit a bit worriedly.
"The tribe knows right?" asked Regal.
"Told them already," muttered Ren, "They were a bit surprised, but whatever. Do what you need to do in order to stay alive."
"I'm glad Ren is also here with me. Unfortunately, we lost Fluttershy, Raine, and Squidward. But, I have plans to help us in the game." - Regal
Meanwhile, Banjo and Sam were talking to eachother.
"That twist sucked." sighed Sam.
Banjo nodded, "You always have to prepare for twists, even if they're early ones."
"After the twist today, we lost 3 strong guys, and we gained only 1 strong guy. The other two aren't that strong. This will hurt Nokowawa a lot." - Sam
"Any good vibes?" asked Sam.
"Bomberman seems sane, along with Regal," noted Banjo, "But Ren, well, he's a bit crazy."
"I don't trust him a bit." noted Sam.
"Kazooie's gone, so I have decided to stick with Pajama Sam, and JD and Kratos if they make it. I have doubts they will, but who knows." - Banjo
"Should we add those two into the alliance for now?" asked Banjo.
Sam nodded, "Doesn't matter, unless we find out they can't be trusted."
"Who would we vote out?" asked Banjo.
Sam thought about it, "Either Ren or Bambi. Depends on what goes on if we lose."
Banjo nodded.
– – – – –
Hapino Day 10
JD was patiently waiting for Kratos and No-Face to join the tribe.
"Congratulations," smiled JD, "You gave us a reason to win challenges now!"
Kratos sighed, "Not our faults."
"The old Hapinos chose you to join to this tribe," explained No-Face, "We had no idea the whole thing was coming."
"Well, what can I say about the twist. Well, for one thing it's 5 against 3 right now, with either myself, JD, or Kratos being the next to go." - No-Face
"I know one person on this tribe," explained Kratos, "Raine Sage. We journeyed together during Tales of Symphonia. If I can get her on our side, we might have a chance."
JD sighed, "Hopefully we'll get them to blindside Sergeant Hartman. He's annoying as all hell."
Kratos nodded, "If what you said is true, then we have a chance."
"Right now, we're in the minority, but we have two options that can help us. We can get Raine to trust us, and we can get them to vote Hartman out, I think." - Kratos
"Just stay calm," suggested No-Face, "and we might be able to get through this."
Meanwhile, Raine and Fluttershy were talking. Fluttershy was a bit down since Regal was no longer in Hapino.
"Nothing is over yet," reminded Raine, "We have many days left in the game, 29 to be exact. You and I both might make it!"
"What about Regal?" asked Fluttershy.
Raine sighed, "I don't know, Fluttershy. For all we know, Nokowawa will knock him out of the game, along with Bomberman and Ren. But, then again, maybe they won't."
"I lost Regal, but I gained another ally; Kratos. Hopefully, he'd be interested in helping me in the game. I just hope he's okay with maybe taking out the other Nokowawas." - Raine
– – – – –
"Come on in guys!"
The tribes entered the challenge area.
"Guys ready for today's immunity challenge?"
Everyone nodded.
"I'll take back immunity from Hapino."
Raine did so.
"For today's challenge, you will be running an obstacle course. The first half of the challenge will include only one person. You will use this axe to chop through 4 ropes, and once that's done, it'll drop your tribe colored flag. Take the flag, and pass it on to two other tribe members. Those two will climb up and over a wall. Once you both have climbed up the wall, you will pass the flag to another member. This member will start a fire using husk and a bunch of other supplies, in order to burn through a rope. If done correctly, a key will drop down. The last 3 tribe members will attempt to solve a puzzle using the key. There are 50 different key locks. Find the one that has the correct key lock. Find the right key lock, and place the flag in its stand. First tribe to complete this, wins reward and immunity."
Jeff revealed a grill, and a bunch of different kinds of spices and meat.
"Time for a feast that you'll enjoy! Got some ribs, steak, pork, and a bunch of unique spices. I doubt you will go hungry after this. Let's get started."
Hapino
Leg 1: Hartman
Leg 2: No-Face and Squidward
Leg 3: Kratos
Leg 4: En-Tee-I, JD, and Raine
Nokowawa
Leg 1: Banjo
Leg 2: Rainbow Dash and Regal
Leg 3: Bomberman
Leg 4: Bambi, Ren, and Sam
"Survivors ready? GO!"
Banjo and Hartman raced out to the ropes, and started chopping through them as fast as possible. Banjo was a wee bit ahead of Hartman. Banjo cut through the ropes, and released the flag. He ran after it, grabbed it, and handed it off to Dash and Regal.
But Hartman wasn't far behind, chopping through the last rope just as Regal and Dash were beginning to climb the wall. Hartman shoved the flag in Squidward's face.
"Sheesh!" scoffed Squidward, running alongside No-Face towards the wall. Meanwhile, Regal and Rainbow Dash had a clever plan. Dash was carrying Regal over the wall, using her ability to fly.
"Jeez, man! You're a heavy guy!" complained Rainbow Dash, struggling to keep a hold of Regal. They flew up slowly, but surely. No-Face tossed Squidward up in the air to catch the edge of the wall. Squidward pulled himself up and over, and then helped No-Face over the wall.
Eventually Dash and Regal landed over the wall. Both tribes were neck and neck as Kratos and Bomberman began making fire.
But while Kratos was using a legit way to make fire, Bomberman took the easy way out, by just placing a bomb on the husk. Bomberman ran away.
"Is that even allowed?" complained JD.
The bomb blew up. While it didn't make a fire, it DID release the key needed for the puzzle. Jeff didn't speak up, which meant it was allowed. The Hapinos weren't happy, since Nokowawa had mostly cheated due to their tribe member's abilities. Jeff was allowing all of it.
Bomberman handed the key off to Ren. Ren began working the puzzle with Sam and Bambi.
"Leave it to me, you two!" smirked Ren arrogantly. Sam wanted to intervene, but he decided that since Ren would only hurt himself if he failed, he would stay back.
Kratos eventually got fire started, and gave the key off to Raine.
"Let's not screw up again Raine..." muttered En-Tee-I.
Raine nodded, and sighed, "Be quiet En-Tee-I, and find some locks!"
Both tribes were going at it...
…
…
…
…
…
Ren broke the lock on the right one, and placed the flag in it's stand.
"NOKOWAWA WINS IMMUNITY AND REWARD!"
All of Nokowawa hugged and cheered.
Jeff handed the grill and all of the food over to the waiting hands of Nokowawa.
"With your powers combined, you've worked together to win yourselves a feast, and immunity. Good job! As for you Hapino, you have to attend tribal council, where one of you will be sent to Redemption Island. See you then."
– – – – –
Nokowawa Night 10
Regal and Bomberman helped carry in the grill.
"That was a spectacular win!" cheered Ren, "It feels good to win a challenge!"
"I was the star, baby! WOOO! I showed that eediot drill sergeant whos boss! My stock just went up from being at the bottom! Now I see a purpose to stay in Nokowawa!" - Ren
"We clearly have a weaker team," noted Bambi, "But we have teamwork, I believe."
Regal nodded, "I think you're right, Bambi."
Regal took the grill and started to set it up. As he opened it, he noticed a piece of paper where the coal is.
"Another clue?" whispered Regal to himself. Luckily he thought he was by himself, so he snuck his second clue into his pocket.
"I have now 2 clues to the hidden immunity idol. If I can find this idol, then I can do some serious damage to the original Nokowawas in order to save myself, Ren, and Bomberman." - Regal
However, he was being spied on, by a certain teal pegasus.
"As I was flying around camp, I noticed Regal alone by the grill. I took a gander above him, and I saw him sneak something into his pocket. I believe he found the idol clue. I can't let him get away with that!" - Rainbow Dash
– – – – –
Hapino Day 11
En-Tee-I, Squidward, Raine, and Fluttershy were talking with one another.
"We have to make an important decision," explained En-Tee-I, "Tonight, we should either vote out Hartman, or trust him and take out one of the Nokowawas; preferably JD."
"We've lost the challenge, and since Kazooie's gone, we don't have to blindside En-Tee-I like I planned. So tonight, we have to make a decision on whats going to help our tribe." - Raine
"Take out Hartman," muttered Squidward, "I'm tired of him and his sorry behind."
Fluttershy nodded, "While I know that Nokowawa might try to gain numbers... um... Hartman is kind of mean."
"So... Hartman tonight?" wondered En-Tee-I, "Because I don't want to be the one crying if Nokowawa gets the advantage at the merge."
"I'm concerned about numbers. While Hartman is annoying and bossy, numbers mean a lot in this game. I would much rather vote JD out." - En-Tee-I
Meanwhile, Hartman was talking with Kratos and JD.
"Listen up scumbags," snapped Hartman, "You want to stay in this game, your sorry asses can place a vote for Squidward!"
Kratos was taken back a bit, "You want him out, why?"
"Because he's a filthy scum! He cannot be trusted whatsoever!" snapped Hartman, most likely making sure everyone in the tribe could hear his voice.
"Squidward stabbed me and Kazooie in the back when he voted her out! I can't let that by without a punishment. His punishment will be a boot in the ass!" - Hartman
"If it means helping us, then... sure!" smiled JD, putting on his poker face.
"That's more like it!" smiled Hartman, "Rely the info to No-Face, would ya?"
He left the area, leaving JD and Kratos alone.
"What should we do?" asked JD, "Have you spoken to Raine, yet?"
Kratos shook his head, "Not yet. I guess I should go do so now, hmm?"
Kratos also left the area.
"Right now, I will be voting for either Hartman or Squidward. I don't care which one goes, but I prefer the choice that says 'JD stays another 20 days in the game'!" (laughs) - JD
Kratos and Raine began talking by the beach.
"It's been a long time, huh." noted Raine. Kratos nodded.
"It has."
"Kratos went to talk to me about the vote. I figured this is the best time to ask him about joining forces with me." - Raine
Raine looked at Kratos, "I saw Sergeant Hartman speaking with you and JD. What did he want?"
Kratos raised an eyebrow, "And you want to know why?"
"Well," said Raine, slyly, "We were thinking about voting him out of the game tonight..."
"Apparently, Raine and other Hapinos want Hartman out of the game. Looks like we have no other choice but to do the same." - Kratos
Kratos sighed, "He wants Squidward out." He explained why.
Raine rolled her eyes, "Typical of him. Well, Squidward's not going anywhere."
"You have my word that Hartman will be going home tonight." promised Kratos.
Raine shook Kratos' hand, and walked off.
– – – – –
The Hapino tribe entered tribal council.
"With the first of the two returning castaways already gone from the game, No-Face, how has this game changed?" asked Jeff.
"I would say that she was apparently everyones target. No matter what happened at Redemption Island, she would've not made it far into the game, I'll give you that. First it was 'Operation: Kazooie', now it's 'Operation: Who Gives a Crap'." replied No-Face.
"Fluttershy, is No-Face right, does the vote no longer matter?" asked Jeff.
"Of course it matters, Jeff. But, um, we're not as strategic as we once were after she was voted off. It's like she was never even in this tribe." replied Fluttershy.
"Raine, with 3 original Nokowawas and 5 original Hapinos, will this vote go in the favor of the Hapinos?" asked Jeff.
Raine shook her head.
"We can't make any guarantees Jeff. You might think one thing, and then another thing comes out of nowhere. You have to adapt." replied Raine.
"Hartman, if you were to go home tonight, what will happen to Hapino." asked Jeff.
Hartman was silent for a bit, thinking.
"Well, they'd be weaker, that's for sure. They'd lose a valuable leader, and provider. I may be 56 years old, but I can hang in there with the fittest of them." replied Hartman.
"Ok, it's time to vote, Squidward, your up."
– – –
En-Tee-I's Vote: Last minute decision for me. No hard feelings. (?)
Hartman's Vote: Scumbag. (Squidward)
JD's Vote: This is the option that will help me, John Dorian, come closer to the million dollars. (Hartman)
– – –
"Once the votes are read, the decision is final, person voted out must leave the tribal council area immediately. I'll read the votes."
First vote, Squidward. (He rolled his eyes, knowing who made that vote.)
…
Hartman. One vote Hartman, one vote Squidward.
…
…
Hartman. Two votes Hartman, one vote Squidward. (He shook his head.)
…
Hartman. Three votes Hartman, one vote Squidward.
…
…
Hartman. That's four votes Hartman. (He growled quietly.)
Fourth person voted out of Survivor Redemption Island, Sergeant Hartman. That's 5, it's enough, you need to hand me your torch.
Hartman got up quietly and gave his torch to Jeff.
"Sergeant Hartman, the tribe has spoken."
He snuffed out his torch.
"But you will have a chance to reenter the game. Take your torch, and head on over to Redemption Island."
Hartman turned around, "At ease, troops." and he left the tribal council area.
"It was definitely a quiet exit from the drill sergeant. I wonder if he's holding his anger at you until he returns to the game. We'll soon find out. Grab your torches, and head on out. Good night."
– – – – –
Redemption Island Night 11
Hartman entered Redemption Island, where Niko was taking a nap.
"I was surprised that I was voted out tonight. If they aren't lucky, Nokowawa will take over Hapino, and eventually the whole game. I hope that isn't the case... actually, screw that. Screw you Hapino." - Hartman
Hartman sat by the fire, tending to it, while Niko napped.
"Big day tomorrow..." said Hartman to himself.
VOTES
Hartman – JD, Squidward, No-Face, Raine, En-Tee-I, Kratos, and Fluttershy
Squidward – Hartman
