Ticket here, and welcome back to "Fight for Fiji"! In this episode we'll be dealing with the fallout of last nights Tribal, new developments on the tribes, and different perspectives.

Enjoy!

Fatu: Gordon, Toriel, Bandana Waddle Dee, Luigi, and Infinife

Roku: Matt, Sonic, Li Mei, Little Mac, and Monty Mole

Toka: Kano, Kabal, Tremor, Kristine, Red, and Blu

16 are left, who will be voted out NEXT?

Roku: Night 6

The five Roku arrive back, leaning their torches on a tree. Before a fire is even made, the mole's already talking again.

"I'd like to thank you guys for sparing me. Means a lot."

"After that bot had to get picked up like a baby it wasn't a problem!" Sonic responds, giving him the thumbs up.

Monty: Last night just showed me honesty DOES work…sometimes. I've been told i should close my mouth so I should start doin' that.

Meanwhile, Li Mei once again gets to work on the fire. While she slashes the flint, Mac crouches down next to her.

"You satisfied?"

"Absolutely."

She huffs as she continues looking for a spark.

Little Mac: We thought about keeping Claptrap, but in the end there's more to the game than strategy. If we kept him and lost over and over, we'd be giving ourselves a right hook!

Roku: Day 7

Another sunny day in Fiji. Birds are chirping, and morale is up after last night, as what they consider deficit in challenges has just left too.

The first scene shown is Matt and Sonic on the walking path, once again talking strategy.

"If you have Monty, then we're driving the bus!" Sonic points out, but doesn't get the reaction he expects from the Mii.

"Don't get too cocky." The hedgehog doesn't back down, because of course he doesn't. "Why not? Not competitive anymore?"

"No it's a sin to get confident." Fair answer. As they continue on, the hedgehog jumps back on the strategy train.

"So you know how Mac and Mei are together right?"

"Oh yeah it's obvious."

"If he have Monty…why not split them up?" He shrugs his shoulders. "Better to have a loyal mole over two people plotting against you."

"Who do you wanna take out first?"

"Mac is better to have around than Mei. She's kind of distant."

"He cooler too. If we get rid of Mei, he'll get it. Mei just seems like the type who takes honor waaay too seriously on a game show." Matt notes.

"And hey, Mac's a fun guy and we've gotta have fun with somebody!"

In his confessional, Sonic has a smirk on his face.

Sonic: Last night was just the calm before the storm. I'm all for chill days but I knew they wouldn't last forever.

While walking, the two come across a wide hole just laying there. The hedgehog steps forward and peaks down in the hole, seeing nothing but black.

"Careful." Matt's words aren't listened to, as Sonic gets to his knees and starts waving his arm into the hole. "Hello?!"

Nothing. He turns away from the hole. "That's weird." A brown hand with black claws reaches out and cuts into the dirt! The figure rises and reveals itself to be Monty Mole!

"Hello!"

The hedgehog snaps around, and when he sees the source is Monty his chest sinks back in. "Dude, what are you doing in there?" The mole obliged to explain. "Going for a nice dig. What're you two doing here?"

The Mii takes charge. "Talking about life on Roku." The hedgehog nudges his arm, as if to say 'TELL HIM.' Monty steps in closer. "If you're talkin' alliances, you don't gotta worry." Monty Mole, a straight shooter. If the two were trying to keep this a secret, this would be really bad…

..but lucky for them, Monty actually likes them.

"Yeah, and speaking of alliances.." the Mii looks around to make sure nobody's watching. "..we want to work with you."

"After y'all put in the work to save me, I wanna work with you too."

Another jackpot for the two. "Welcome aboard." Matt says, making this Matt/Sonic/Monty trio official.

Matt: After alll the "wildcard" talk you may be asking why in the world would I align with this mole? All that talk was just giving false hope to the Clapper. Monty didn't like him, but he likes us! Monty may be a straight shooter but he's not gonna pull the trigger until you mess with him.

While they make it official, Mac and Mei are sitting around the fire, having a strategic talk of their own.

"We gotta keep an eye on Matt and Sonic. If they want to bring Monty along, it's over." Mac says, well aware that the three are separate from then. He wasn't aware they were talking at that moment, but he wouldn't be surprised if they were.

"Don't get paranoid this early. It's still the pre-merge." Mei responds. "Besides, Monty isn't predictable. Why would they align with someone like that?"

"For the numbers Li. As people they're cool but we have NO idea what they can do as players." he reasons, as Mei faces him. "Even if they are against us, we can find an idol and negate any votes coming our way. Have faith."

Little Mac: Li Mei's keeping me grounded right now. Imagine you boot someone to help the tribe, but it actually works against you. I don't have to imagine. Now I'm the underdog again. But, I've beaten bigger odds, and if I can find our idol, I'll win again.

Fatu: Day 7

A goat mom and a chef are walking in the sand together, with one castaway looking to pick up the pace.

"If we want to get far, we need to make this official." Gordon says, and Toriel slightly turns her head. "I've been thinking about a strong alliance as well. I'm enjoying the company of almost everyone on the beach." The exception was obvious.

"Me, you, Dee, Luigi. If we can survive a swap, we'll be in a good spot." The chef states, and decides to turn the conversation to her.

"How about that?"

"Well Dee and Luigi seem loyal. The most aggressive they've ever been is debating about food. It's making ME hungry.."

"If we win a reward, you get first dibs."

Gordon: The first week I just wanted to assess how everyone is. Now it's time to get off my $$ and play. I'm on lovely terms with everyone but Infinite, so why not make an alliance to get rid of him?

Cut to Gordon taking this idea to Luigi.

"Here's the rundown: you, me, Toriel, Dee. Like it?"

Luigi jaw drops. "Like it? I love it!"

"Alright good. First targets obvious." he says, setting a hand on Luigi's shoulder. "Then we go from there."

At the same time, Toriel's taking the idea to Bandana Dee.

"Not only would it help strategically but we all get along…am I sounding too preachy?"

"Not at all, I was always gonna ask for an explanation."

"Oh perfect!"

Toriel: I've went with this alliance because not only are my allies loyal, but I do get a big say. Dee and Luigi do not talk as much strategy as us, so we are the decision makers. Infinite's had his chance to get in our good graces, but he refuses to. So there can't be a Fatu Five.

Despite wanting to get to know him, she's not gonna hesitate to cut him off.

Toka: Day 7

All the tribe is sitting together, the ocean ahead of them calm. There are some insects flying around, especially since they dump in the ocean.

"Wanna see something cool?" Red asks.

"Surprise us." Kano responds, with a snicker.

A lone fly approaches the six Toka. Red extends his tongue and swallows it right up! Kabal points at the Yoshi. "So you're quirk is the tongue."

"It's common among the Yoshi."

The tribe turns to Blu, who's like a dear in the headlights. "What?"

Red: I REALLY like Blu, we just click! So why not have some fun with her?

Tremor raises a finger and points at another fly approaching. "Eat the fly."

"..OK.."

"A bit offputting." Kano says, and Tremor just gives him an icy stare back. "..nothing wrong with that."

The two Yoshi lock in on the fly.

"If your tongue reaches further than mine, you win." Red proposes, and Blu pops her neck. "Yeah, ok."

Blu's tongue flies out, and with a little push she captures the fly, and pulls it back into her mouth. Kabal pretends to pull out a tape measure. "She has a couple inches over you."

Kano nudges Tremor. "That's what she said, ey?" No reaction whatsoever from him. Tremor really just stonewalled hin.

Red faces his ally. "I demand a rematch."

Blu: I didn't have a tongue comp on my to-do list but here we are! My tongues bigger so…at least my ego got a boost.

Later that day, Kristine and Tremor are on the walking path. Both caught between two duos, yet both believe they are with them.

"If it comes down to it, which side do we want to vote out?" Kristine asks him. "The Yoshi are my targets right now."

"Is it because they're close?"

"You've answered your own question."

The two continue their walk along the path.

"The Yoshi are threats, but since we are the middle I will be honest: Kano's personality is grating on me. He told me the most unhumorous jokes I've ever heard during my stay. I would rather flick my tongue at a fly than listen to another." Tremor's disrespect is inclusive.

"But you're still leaning towards the Yoshi.." Tremor confirms as such. "Likability is a cheat code."

Kristine: It's looking like I..may have to get a rock draw going if I want to keep the Yoshi here. But then it would put ME in danger so do I really want to do that?

"Who are you voting for?" Tremor asks, flipping it back on her. "I'm with you. Kano and Kabal are strong so we still need them around."

"Strength is a fair reason."

Tremor: I'll stick to the Black Dragon even if one of them is vile. Kristine..has her own agenda. She brings up "keeping the tribe strong" when she's the weakest on the tribe. Did she think I'm naive?

Cut to Tremor taking this information to Kano and Kabal.

"She says she's with us, but wanted to keep you around for strength. She's the weakest. See a problem with that?" he asks.

"If we're going off strength, she just threw herself under." Kabal notes. "I'm still up to take out a Yoshi but..let's keep our eye on her."

"She's gonna be a casualty of war." Kano says.

Kabal: Thanks to Tremor, I'm more suspicious of her now than i was before. She said she'd commit, but she could lie and make us draw rocks instead. My eyes are locked in on her.

Ok so we've got power structures forming. Roku HAD a Matt/Sonic/Mac/Mei voting bloc, but the first two have scooped him up to get the numbers. Will he be as loyal as they expect?

Fatu has the obvious Infinite target, BUT there's still an idol that hasn't been found out there. Toka still has the same Yoshi/Black Dragon sides, but Tremor's losing trust with Kristine because he sussed her out. What's to come of that?

3B will feature more camp life and conflict, and 3C features the challenge, strategy, and Tribal. That's all, Ticket out.
