Previously on, Survivor,

Banjo and Sam discussed voting out Bambi next, for he was weak at challenges, and keep around Regal and Ren for challenges.

At Hapino, Raine was concerned about her deal with Kratos, when he wanted to vote out Fluttershy over En-Tee-I. Raine knew Fluttershy would be loyal to her alliance, while En-Tee-I might betray Hapino. Later, Squidward dropped JD's plans to the rest of the Hapinos.

At Redemption Island, Niko continued his domination at the duels. Bomberman threw the duel at the end, giving Niko his third win in a row.

Back at Nokowawa, Banjo told Rainbow Dash about voting Bambi out. Dash hid her true feelings about the plan, but tried to convince Banjo otherwise. But Banjo knew she was hiding something.

Over at Hapino, Raine asked Kratos if he knew about JD's scrambling. Kratos played her up, but Raine thought Kratos told JD to talk with Squidward.

At the immunity challenge, Nokowawa dominated, and won the challenge.

At the reward, Bambi found a clue to the location of the hidden immunity idol.

Before tribal council, Kratos warned JD and No-Face that Raine could still flip back to the Hapinos, especially since she seemed hesitant to vote Fluttershy off. According to En-Tee-I and Squidward, JD was the intended target, being the weakest of the three and also scrambling to save himself.

At tribal council, Raine voted with Hapino to send JD to Redemption Island. Now Kratos and No-Face are sitting ducks. 12 are left, who'll be sent to Redemption Island next?

Hapino: En-Tee-I, Fluttershy, Kratos, No-Face, Raine, and Squidward

Nokowawa: Bambi, Banjo, Rainbow Dash, Regal, Ren, and Sam

Redemption Island: JD and Niko

– – – – –

Redemption Island Night 16

JD arrived at Redemption Island camp.

"Niko!" called JD, "Guess who?"

Niko looked up from where he was laying down. He smirked when he saw JD.

"Ah. JD. Welcome to Casa de Bellic." joked Niko.

"It was nice seeing a Nokowawa for once. I like JD. He's a good man. However, he needs to go home. I'm fighting for myself, and I won't lose to him just because he's Nokowawa." - Niko

"I want to change the name to Casa de Dorian." laughed JD.

Niko chuckled, "We'll see about that one."

"Niko's defeated easy opponents. I won't be so easy. I have an upper edge; my PhD. Wait... that's meant for something else... oh well. I'll still give him a challenge." - JD

– – – – –

Hapino Day 17

Kratos wasn't happy after tribal council.

"Raine doesn't have the heart to send her friend home. It's a game, Raine. If my son, Lloyd, was in this game with us, and he had to go home, I would gladly join in on the voting block if we weren't aligned. Friends shouldn't matter in this game." - Kratos

Kratos spoke with No-Face in the jungle.

"What's the next step?" asked No-Face.

Kratos shrugged, "I guess we have to hope that they give up. JD was an easy boot. However, voting one of us out would very well be a mistake."

"Maybe we should just give in and vote En-Tee-I..." muttered No-Face.

"Maybe if Kratos would just agree with Raine's ideas, perhaps we wouldn't of lost JD. I think Kratos cost JD the game if you think really hard about it." - No-Face

"I believe we're heading towards a merger," noted Kratos, "I think En-Tee-I should go next. Fluttershy serves no threat, while En-Tee-I does."

"I wanted Fluttershy out orginally because she was weak at challenges. Now that we're 6-6, I think at any time we'll merge and someone from Redemption Island will return. So right now, if Raine wants En-Tee-I to go, then I shall comply with her demand." - Kratos

Meanwhile, Raine, Squidward, and Fluttershy were talking.

"Um... who will be voted out next?" asked Fluttershy, "I mean... both of the outsiders are very strong."

Squidward laid back saying nothing.

"I'm not sure, Fluttershy," noted Raine, "But we might want to consider blindsiding En-Tee-I. That's who I wanted gone last tribal council, but Kratos and the rest wanted you out..."

"Oh..." replied Fluttershy.

"Last tribal council... I got votes. While I wasn't that afraid of being sent home last night, it still hurt to see my name." - Fluttershy

"Voting out En-Tee-I would be classic! HAH!" laughed Squidward, fixing his sunglasses, "He wouldn't see it coming. He thinks Hapino is super tight."

Raine nodded, "And we've been keeping it that way for him. He isn't smart enough to realize we're all aligned but him. I've been playing him into believing we're Final 2..."

"If Kratos and No-Face still want Fluttershy out... then really I have no other choice. I mean, which would we rather have? Vote out a weaker competitor? Or vote out a strong competitor. JD wasn't much anything, but both Kratos and No-Face practically CARRY us." - Raine

– – – – –

Nokowawa Day 17

Rainbow Dash and Bambi were laying around in the shelter.

"I love resting!" smirked Dash, "I do lot of stuff for Nokowawa, I always need a break or two."

Bambi nodded, "Gathering firewood can't be easy. I can only get water. Firewood is too heavy for me."

"That's why you have me, buddy." smiled Rainbow Dash.

"Since we've aligned, Bambi and I get along great. I look out for him, and he looks out for me. If we're not careful... we could be torn apart..." - Rainbow Dash

"Psst, Bambi," whispered Rainbow Dash, "I have to tell ya something."

Bambi moved closer to Rainbow Dash, "Yeah?"

Rainbow Dash told him what she heard from Banjo.

Bambi shook his head sadly, "I can understand why... but wouldn't numbers matter over challenges?"

"That's what I said," muttered Dash, "I bet he didn't listen."

Bambi stood up inside the shelter, and trotted over to the left corner. He nosed around back there, and brought the clue he found the other day to Dash.

"An idol clue?" asked Rainbow Dash. Bambi nodded.

"Found it at the reward, and snuck it into my bag."

"I was happy to see that Bambi had a clue to the hidden immunity idol. However... it's still vague to me. I don't have enough information to find it yet." - Rainbow Dash

Rainbow Dash got up, and went through her own bag.

"Could you decipher my own clue?" asked Dash, handing it over to Bambi.

"You had a clue?" asked Bambi.

Dash nodded, "Found it early on in the game. Just haven't shown it to anyone."

Bambi read it over.

"Nope," replied Bambi, sadly, "Nothing seems to fit. Great..."

"Rainbow Dash and I have to find an edge to save me from getting voted out. Our fate might lay in the hands of Regal and Ren... and I don't trust either one." - Bambi

Meanwhile, Banjo and Regal were talking.

"So what you're saying is..." asked Regal, "You'll keep us in the game. In return we vote for Bambi?"

Banjo nodded, "I hate to do it, but I don't feel a merge coming on yet, and keeping Bambi around will hurt us."

"I don't trust Rainbow Dash. For all I know, she's gonna tell Bambi what I told her. So, I think if we go to tribal council, Regal and Ren are going to be the deciding factor." - Banjo

"I think Ren will be all for it... but I'm afraid he'll think you're playing us." replied Regal.

"You believe me right?" asked Banjo.

Regal nodded, "I do."

"Banjo and Sam want to vote off Bambi to strengthen the tribe. I 100% agree with them. However... what would Ren say? He might not trust this plan to go the way we think it will." - Regal

"Talk with him," pleaded Banjo, "I think I'm going to pay for this if you don't. I'm making myself a target by doing so, but it's worth the risk."

Regal nodded, "I would also do the same if it meant saving myself from losing."

"I really... REALLY hope the Hapinos vote Bambi. If they don't... well then we're screwed. REALLY screwed." - Banjo

– – – – –

"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 Ren and Banjo, and Hapino chose No-Face and Squidward.

"We'll now bring in the competitors for today's duel."

Both JD and Niko walked out into the duel arena.

"Welcome to Redemption Arena. Ren, Banjo, No-Face, and Squidward have all come to watch you compete in the challenge."

"My alliance is down a man at the merge if JD loses this duel. I don't want to see Niko reenter the game, just because he's a wild card." - Banjo

"If JD beats Niko... my hopes will be crushed traumatically. I shot JD in the foot, and he's looking to shoot my own, I bet." - Squidward

"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: We will be playing a game of concentration. One at a time, you will go out onto the field, and uncover symbols. If those symbols match, you get a point. There are a total of 10 matching symbols, plus one instant-lost symbol. Dig that up, and you lose automatically. Whoever gets 5 correct symbols first, stays in the game."

"Okay Niko, I saw you beat all of those Hapinos, but let me tell you this; you cannot beat me; Dr. John Dorian. I will break your record and go back into the game." - JD

"Well, we're losing a Nokowawa today, and I won't let it be me. Sure, I may not be the brightest in the bunch, but I don't think JD is either." - Niko

"Alright, lets get started. JD won the coin toss, so he's up first."

JD picked up two symbols; Crazy 8 and Stimpy. Wrong.

Niko picked up two symbols; Grappling Hook and Rainbow Lightning Bolt. Wrong.

JD picked up two symbols; Golden Feather and Crazy 8. Wrong again.

Niko picked up two symbols; 2 Crazy 8s. Niko gained his first point. Everytime someone gets a point, they get to go again.

Niko picked up two symbols; Handcuffs and Grappling Hook. Wrong.

JD picked up two symbols; 2 Grappling Hooks. JD gained his first point.

JD picked up two symbols; Healing Rod and Golden Feather. Wrong.

Niko picked up two symbols; 2 Golden Feathers. Niko gained his second point.

Niko picked up two symbols; Angel Wings and Handcuffs. Wrong.

JD picked up two symbols; 2 pairs of Handcuffs. JD tied it up again 2-2.

JD picked up two symbols; Butterfly and Healing Rod. Wrong.

Niko picked up two symbols; 2 Healing Rods. Niko now had 3 points.

"Is it just going to be back and forth?" asked Squidward, bored.

No-Face was interested, "Someones oughta screw up eventually..."

Niko picked up two symbols; 2 pairs of Angel Wings. Niko now had 4 points. This worried JD greatly.

"Damn." muttered JD, awaiting his loss.

"Niko needs one more pair to win his fourth duel." called Jeff.

Niko picked up 2 symbols; Skull and Deer. Wrong.

"CHALLENGE IS OVER! Niko, I hate to say it... but you picked the instant-loss symbol." replied Jeff, sadly.

Niko shook his head in anger.

"God dammit! I thought for sure I knew where it was..." replied Niko, walking over to where he thought the skull was. He picked up the symbol, and it ended up being the second deer symbol.

Everyone clapped for JD, some surprised that Niko lost.

"JD, you stay alive in the competition. As for you Niko, after a long streak on Redemption Island, the game is over for you. Place your buff in the urn, and leave Redemption Island."

Niko threw his purple buff in the urn violently, and turned to the rest.

"Get the hell off Redemption Island, JD, and go back into the game." smirked Niko, walking out.

"JD, you may return to your camp and await the next duel. As for the others, you may return to your own camps now, and I'll see you for the immunity challenge."

– – – – –

Niko's Final Words

"So... this is how it ends? I survived on Redemption Island for 3 straight duels, and then lose to a $%##ing instant loss rule. I got too cocky for my own good, since winning that many duels can really make you think you can take on anything. I'm not really rooting for anyone right now."

– – – – –

Hapino Day 18

No-Face told Kratos the news, which made Kratos very happy indeed.

"If JD beat Niko..." thought Kratos outloud, "Then I have a different idea."

"What?" asked No-Face.

"I hate changing plans over and over, but for this occasion, I think it'll be worth it. We can get JD back into the game, along with getting Raine's trust. All it requires is her assistance in the vote." - Kratos

"I'm going to talk with Raine today," explained Kratos, "And convince her that since JD is closer to returning to the game, if you vote out Fluttershy with us, and JD returns to the game, we will convince him that she can trust him."

"But will we keep our promise to her in the long run?" asked No-Face.

Kratos shook his head, "No. I'm staying with Nokowawa afterwards. In fact, I'm gonna get you into my alliance. It's me, JD, Banjo, and Pajama Sam. I'm sure you'll be accepted."

No-Face tried to smile through his sewn-shut mouth, but failed.

"Kratos offered me a spot in his alliance with Banjo, JD, and Sam. I am honored, since I really don't have an alliance of my own. I trust Kratos a lot, along with JD. This should work out just fine." - No-Face

No-Face shook Kratos' hand.

"Let's hope this works to our favor," said No-Face, with a slight worry in his voice.

Kratos nodded, and left to go talk with Raine.

Kratos found Raine sitting alone in the shelter. Everyone else was by the beach relaxing.

"Got a minute?" asked Kratos. Raine shrugged.

"What's up? Here to complain?" asked Raine, sarcastically.

Kratos shook his head, "No... actually. Something worth hearing."

Raine looked over at Kratos, "What is it."

"Kratos hasn't spoken to me since the last tribal council. This morning, he wanted to talk. I'm thinking he's gonna try and save himself." - Raine

"Listen," began Kratos, "JD has a hidden immunity idol."

Raine's eyes were wide, but it didn't click, "But... if he had one, how come he didn't use it?"

"We went into tribal council confident you would vote Fluttershy," explained Kratos, making it up as he talked, "but, of course, we were wrong."

"I made up a lie that JD had an immunity idol on him when he got voted out. I told Raine that if she voted with us to get rid of Fluttershy, and have JD return to the game, we will share that idol with her." - Kratos

Raine thought about what Kratos just said.

"If I do this... what would Regal say? Fluttershy is Regal's closest ally, and I promised to keep her safe for numbers alone. But this offer... might be worth looking into. Remember, in the game of Survivor, you must look at every option available." - Raine

– – – – –

Nokowawa Day 18

Regal and Ren were talking about the offer Banjo made.

"This sounds compelling, Regal," noted Ren, "But... who should we trust?"

"You tell me. I figured you would be against this." replied Regal.

"Apparently, the other day, Regal was approached by Banjo with an offer to blindside Bambi and keep the team strong. I like this plan, but do you think I trust Banjo? Absolutely not!" - Ren

"I'm sort of against this," noted Ren, "I just don't want to walk into a vote expectin' to be safe, and then get my throat cut."

"Rainbow Dash might be on Bambi's side..." sighed Regal, thinking that might influence Ren's decision.

"If she is..." replied Ren, "Then, we might as well vote out Bambi. I mean, come ON! Dash is the one who tried to get rid of us!"

"Rainbow Dash is an enemy. She thinks she owns the place, and thinks she can take me down. Well, guess what Dashie? I'm not to be trifled with!" - Ren

Regal nodded, "You do have a point, Ren. I just want the option that gives both Hapinos and Nokowawas an even match at the merge. There's no guarantee Hapino will vote Kratos or No-Face out right away."

"JD's on Redemption Island right now. If we send Bambi over there, a Nokowawa will be sent home, obviously. If the merge happens right after that, then it'll be 6-6. Whoever gets the advantage should get it fair and square." - Regal

Meanwhile, Banjo and Sam were talking.

"I spoke with Regal," noted Banjo, "With any luck, he and Ren will go with us."

"I don't know, Banjo," said Sam, a tad worried, "I have a feeling the merge is coming. Keeping Regal and Ren around might hurt us..."

Banjo shook his head, "We just can't assume that a merge is coming. Remember that Redemption Island might play a factor into when it begins..."

"Originally, I wanted Bambi to go, but after thinking things through... I think Banjo is making a mistake by voting Bambi out. I mean, we could have a 7-5 advantage if we vote Ren out, and JD beats him. Banjo doesn't think a merge is coming. I think it is..." - Sam

"Bambi's loyal to Nokowawa, Banjo. He would've never betray us!" persuaded Sam.

Banjo nodded," I know he is... but he's weak at challenges. If a merge never shows up in the next 3 days, and we still have Bambi, that will hurt us."

Sam sighed.

"Sam's a little hesitant on some things. I hope he takes this plan seriously, because think about it. Vote Bambi out, JD wins automatically, and rejoins our cause. JD is our ally. Bambi is not." - Banjo

– – – – –

"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 Nokowawa."

Rainbow Dash did so.

"For today's challenge, one at a time, you will slide down this oily course, retrieve a numbered ball, and attempt to shoot the ball into the basket, first one to shoot it in scores. First tribe to get 4 shots in, wins reward and immunity."

"You will leave here, via helicopter, and be taken to an inactive volcano off the coast of Treasure Trove Cove. You will proceed to a picnic lunch; hot dogs, soda, candy, cookies, burgers, the likes. Let's get started."

Both tribes picked an order on who would go first to last.

"First up, we have Rainbow Dash for Nokowawa, taking on No-Face for Hapino. You are going to collect ball number 5! Survivors ready? GO!"

Dash and No-Face fell down onto the oily course. Rainbow Dash jumped on top of the 5 net, knocking both balls onto the course. No-Face swiftly grabbed his, while Dash slipped trying to get hers. No-Face carefully pulled himself up, and made his shot at the basket.

"No-Face scores for Hapino! We're 1-0!"

"Next up, we have Regal for Nokowawa, taking on Kratos for Hapino. You are going to collect ball number 8! Survivors ready? GO!"

Both Kratos and Regal fell onto the course, both failing to 'skate' their way over. Kratos thought he had this in the bag, since with Regal's handcuffs, he couldn't shoot for nothing. Kratos knocked off both balls, and made his way to the basket. Regal had to slide back to retrieve his own ball. Kratos missed the first two shots, and by the time Regal got to the basket, Kratos was prepared for his third shot. Regal took a sloppy shot, but it hit the basket and...

"Regal scores for Nokowawa! We're tied 1-1!"

"Next up, we have Ren for Nokowawa, taking on Squidward for Hapino. You are going to collect ball number 6! Survivors ready? GO!"

Squidward easily traversed the course, since with his tentacles, he had very little traction. But getting the ball was a completely different story, as Ren threw the Hapino ball very far down the course. Ren quickly slipped over to the baskets, and made his shot.

"Ren scores for Nokowawa! Nokowawa leads 2-1!"

"Next up, we have Banjo for Nokowawa, taking on Raine for Hapino. You are going to collect ball number 4! Survivors ready? GO!"

Both Banjo and Raine were even on the way to their colored balls. Both collected them without any hassle or trouble, and they were taking shots at the basket. Only one made it in first...

"Banjo scores for Nokowawa! We're 3-1!"

"Next up, we have Pajama Sam for Nokowawa, taking on Fluttershy for Hapino. Sam could win it right here for his tribe. You are going to collect ball number 3! Survivors ready? GO!"

Fluttershy took small baby steps across the oily course, wanting not to fall on her flank. Sam 'skated' his way to collect his ball, and he made it to the basket. Fluttershy was taking too much time trying to help herself out, that Sam had no competition here.

"PAJAMA SAM MAKES IT! NOKOWAWA WINS REWARD AND IMMUNITY!"

All of Nokowawa hugged and cheered.

"First back to back win for a tribe this season! I have to hand it to you, Nokowawa, you've become a force in the challenges. Enjoy your reward. As for you Hapino, another date at tribal council. Someone else will be voted out and sent to Redemption Island. See you then."

– – – – –

Nokowawa Day 18

"They didn't even see it coming... HAH!" laughed Ren, laying down on the hard volcanic rock drinking a smoothie.

"You bet they didn't!" smirked Rainbow Dash, "Poor Fluttershy, though. I think she's gone. Which means if we merge, JD's coming back in."

Ren looked over at Dash, "Is that good or something?"

Rainbow Dash shook her head, "Not really. JD's a bit of a weirdo. Don't trust the guy."

Ren thought differently, however.

"Rainbow Dash and JD are aligned... I just know it. What she said about JD makes me want to puke. It sounded so fake. This might also be an alliance, if Bambi is on Dash's side like I suspect." - Ren

"Everyone have a candy bar?" called Sam.

"I don't." replied Banjo. Bambi handed him the last candy bar.

"Thanks, Bambi!" smiled Banjo.

Banjo opened the candy bar, but stopped suddenly.

"Ever stop to think that one day you'll see the weirdest, or even oddest thing? Well... I just did. I found a hidden idol clue in my wrapper. Luckily, no one saw it." - Banjo

Banjo got Sam's attention, and had him follow him away from the group.

"What?" asked Sam, confused. Banjo showed him the idol clue.

Sam smiled, "Awesome! Vague... but still, this gives us an edge."

"Banjo found a clue to the immunity idol. I would like my alliance to get it, since I don't know what's going on behind the scenes." - Sam

– – – – –

Hapino Day 18

No-Face and Kratos were talking in the jungle.

"We're screwed, man." said No-Face, a certain anger in his voice, "I'm the only one to score for our tribe! I'm the one going home, most likely!"

Kratos held his hand up, "Calm down, No-Face. I think this challenge helped in our favor. Fluttershy obviously lost it for us when we needed her to win. I hope it's the needle in her coffin."

"I'm the only one to score for Hapino, and I have a feeling that I'm the one going home. For what? Being a Nokowawa. Nothing else. Selfish bastards, I hope Kratos' plan works and gets Fluttershy out." - No-Face

"I told Raine that JD has an idol in his pocket when he left tribal council." explained Kratos.

No-Face was confused, "He did?"

Kratos shook his head, "No. I lied to her. I told her she can have access to it if she votes out Fluttershy. It's the only way to save ourselves, and get the advantage. Because, let's face it; JD will beat Fluttershy very easily."

"I hear you on that." chuckled No-Face.

"Kratos has a plan set in motion, and I like it. Raine has a brain on her, and hopefully she falls for the trick and blindsides Fluttershy tonight." - No-Face

Meanwhile, En-Tee-I and Raine were talking.

"Which one were you thinking of voting out tonight?" asked Raine.

"Kratos, most likely," replied En-Tee-I, "No-Face deserves at least one more tribal council. Kratos is Nokowawa's leader, I think."

"Vote out Kratos tonight, Nokowawa might fall apart without him at the merge. Plus, with Kratos gone, we will enter the merge at 6 members each. We cannot let Nokowawa get the advantage." - En-Tee-I

"Listen..." said Raine, "This might sound strange, but I think JD has a hidden immunity idol."

"Did one of them tell you that?" asked En-Tee-I, suspicious.

Raine nodded, "Kratos did. He says he and No-Face will flip over to Hapino if we vote out Fluttershy tonight, and allow JD back into the game."

"I created my own little lie to convince En-Tee-I to help me out. I don't agree with voting out Fluttershy, but this is my chance to have some control in the game." - Raine

"How sure are you that he isn't bluffing you?" asked En-Tee-I.

"En-Tee-I, if I wasn't sure, I wouldn't be telling you this," snapped Raine, "I believe Kratos. He hasn't tried pulling any tricks to make him look like a villain, anyway."

"Raine is falling into a trap. I can sense it. I honestly doubt JD has an idol. If he did, he would've played it the night he got voted out." - En-Tee-I

"Does Squidward know?" asked En-Tee-I.

"He knows about it," replied Raine, "He's on board. Nothing more to say. Listen, you vote Kratos, you've marked yourself. All I'm asking for, is your help En-Tee-I. If I'm going into hell, I want you to accompany me."

En-Tee-I rolled his eyes.

"I'm not sure what the hell I'm doing tonight." - En-Tee-I

– – – – –

The Hapino tribe entered tribal council.

"First back to back lost this season. Raine, do you think a merge is coming?" asked Jeff.

Raine shrugged.

"You can never be sure of anything in this game, Jeff. For all I know, the merge might never happen." replied Raine.

"Fluttershy, you dodged a bullet last tribal council. How confident are you that tonight, you'll still be here tomorrow?" asked Jeff.

"Um... I feel sorta confident. I just want to trust everyone in this tribe... but I have to remember it's a game. Nobody can be trusted when it comes down to it." replied Fluttershy.

"Squidward, any insight on the vote tonight?" asked Jeff.

"However this vote goes tonight, we're taking a risk. Could be a Nokowawa, could be a Hapino. Hell, could be me tonight." replied Squidward.

"Okay, it's time to vote, Kratos, your up."

– – –

En-Tee-I's Vote: Heavy risk to pay after this vote. I just hope it was the right one. (?)

Kratos' Vote: Raine, we're counting on you to make this work. Don't fail me. (Fluttershy)

Raine's Vote: (sighs) (?)

– – –

"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, Fluttershy. (She nodded, sadly.)

Fluttershy. Two votes Fluttershy.

Squidward. One vote Squidward. (He laughed once.)

Fluttershy. Three votes Fluttershy. (Fluttershy looked over at Raine tearfully.)

Seventh person voted out of Survivor Redemption Island, Fluttershy. 4 is enough, you need to hand me your torch.

Fluttershy said nothing as she gave Jeff her torch.

"Fluttershy, the tribe has spoken."

He snuffed out her torch.

"But you will have a chance to reenter the game. Take your torch, and head on over to Redemption Island."

Fluttershy took her torch, and flew out of tribal council.

"Looked like a rough vote. Sometimes, you just got to do things you don't want to. Fluttershy has a kind heart, but if she needed to go home, then it was something you needed to do. Grab your torches, and head on back. Good night."

– – – – –

Redemption Island Night 18

JD was walking out to greet the newcomer. He heard crying.

"Now, now, Kratos. It's okay to cry sometimes!" said JD, thinking Kratos was the one voted out. He was surprised to see Fluttershy enter.

"Fluttershy?" said JD, surprised, "What're-"

"I don't want to talk about it..." cried Fluttershy, silently.

JD nodded, and walked away, smirking.

"I trusted the wrong people... if Regal were here... I think he would've prevented this from happening." - Fluttershy

VOTES

Fluttershy – Squidward, No-Face, Raine, En-Tee-I, and Kratos

Squidward – Fluttershy
