Chapter Text

"Last time on Disventure Camp. Magenta was working past their last vote where James was booted. Jake forgave Ashley, who was guilty over the vote, but Jake understood the issues with James throwing. Ally and Hunter continued and failed to look for the idol, trying harder than ever with a team of four being what was left of the Magenta team. As Ally kept looking, Hunter talked with Jake, trying to open himself up to the season one players, and also trying to make sure neither of them were onto him and Ally, and he and Jake were bonding slightly."

"Yellow continued to be a civil war with numbers. Fiore and Riya hated each other more. Grett enjoyed Fiore's antics, and we saw the season one villains bond more, seeing the other as someone to be open to. Yul proved to not only Alec, but also Fiore and Grett.... that he was just a huge asshole, and continued making Grett upset and Fiore plotting against him. Riya snapped at Alec at his refusal to drop Fiore, before they argued over Connor and numbers too before she stormed off, confirming to Alec that the yellow team was truly just a mess overall.

"On Cyan, Gabby and Ellie planned on how the idol could be helpful and their actual ally in the villains alliance...... or a confirmation on who one was. Lake and Ellie talked too, with Lake knowing Ellie has the Cyan idol in her pocket, but didn't have proof to show this. Tess opened to Aiden about being split on who to vote with, and our Season Two Bronze placer gave some advice on focusing on game not personal fights. Before Lake told Aiden and Tess about her suspicions of Ellie having an idol, leaving Tess with stuff to think about."

"The challenge was a musical! The teams had to make a song and perform it to see who did the worse and who did the best! Cyan went for an upbeat song about taking their moment, and struggling despite trying their hardest. Magenta, with help from Trevor, made a love song.... ooooh spicy! And even had two kisses! And Yellow went for a more.... toxic romance song. But it's Fiore. We expected that from her. And they could have won...... if Riya going overboard with the lights didn't burn the stage! So they were disqualified and made Yellow the losing team for voting."

"The elimination was a shocker! Grett and Yul wanted to vote for Riya for her sabotage! Riya and Alec wanted Yul out, seeing he was the one causing the most issues on the team. Fiore meanwhile tried to kill two birds with one stone, trying to make Riya think she was going to waste her idol. Sadly for the Song writer, it didn't work, Riya took a gamble. And Yul got three votes, sending him home, and leaving Grett conflicted on if Fiore really flipped for her. Thirteen are left. Who will be going tonight?

(Intro Play)

It opened to Grett sitting on the beach at night, just a few hours after the elimination. 

She was just blankly staring at the lake, as she heard footsteps gently approaching, turning to see Fiore nervously walking up to her, pulling on her hoodie strings.

"...can I sit with you?" She asked quietly.

"Well, I don't own the beach." Grett said plainly, as she just kept looking at the lake.

Fiore slowly approached her and sat next to her, but at a small distance. They sat in silence for about a minute, before Grett finally decided to break the silence.

"So you really just can't stand being around Riya this much?" Grett asked.

"That's one thing...but I also wanted to talk...because I know you're upset with me."

Grett stared ahead, as Fiore looked up, slightly awkward.

Shaking her head, she opened her mouth, but paused the words struggling to come out, before her hands balled up as she finally said something.

”I'm sorry." She said after a few seconds.

"You could have said something instead of just going for him left field, especially when Riya was right there to get out." Grett said.

"You told him countless times to stop and he didn't care. He’s an egotistical prick who doesn’t care about you."

"You haven’t seen him outside the game to make that judgement."

"Right. Game relationships and outside the game are never the same…… not Jake and Tom, Gabby and Ellie, Jake and Miriam….. M…….. Ashley and……. Will."

"You’ve seen them outside the game, you didn’t with Yul, and you didn’t say a word before flipping on an ally again.” Grett said as Fiore froze, biting her lip, wanting to say something but moved past the first comment. Season One on her mind.

“I…….. Didn’t want to see you be constantly insulted for your appearance and how much you loved him. He reminded me about m...from what you said in our season...your parents.”

“Yul is not like my parents!” Grett said, getting angry before pausing at Fiore flinching back a little at this reaction.

Sighing, Grett relaxed as she looked out at the water.

“He at least showed me affection.”

“Do you know how real it is? If he went insulting you for your looks because of stress….. That’s not a good partner. I see my parents taking digs at each other all the time.”

“I can see the reason…… I just wish you at least told me the plan.”

“I’m sorry………. I just hope you stopped caring about what others want out of you when they don’t care about you for it……. You’re better off being happy with who you are then be belittled for it.” Fiore said as she got up to walk away as Grett looked up.

“I never thanked you for that advice on our season….. It did help post season.”

“You'll never have too.” Fiore paused before continuing to walk away, Grett watching in surprise.

Confessional: Grett

"Am I happy at Fiore's flip? No. I'm hurt...... do I believe her for what she said about her reason? Yes.... I do.... she wouldn't gain something by flipping, she knows this..... So I'm not gonna be a bitch and hold a grudge….. Maybe a small break is what he and  I need."

Confessional Change: Fiore

"I…. ugh. I need to find a way to get Bollywood to waste her idol. Because if we lose again, It could be me going. I…. may have to actually talk to Alec…….. Maybe it would be better if I did, seeing Grett hurt…… was how I made him feel when I got him out……"

Confessional End

It cut to the yellow team camp in the morning as Riya left the tent holding a hairbrush, glancing at Fiore and Grett who were still asleep as Riya stepped over them to see Alec cooking again.

"Your cooking?" Riya asked.

"Why wouldn't I?" Alec raised a brow.

"You bombed hard on your season." Riya said as Alec rolled his eyes.

"I've improved. And considering Fiore and Grett didn't complain. I must be doing something right." Alec said as Riya sat by him looking at him with some curiosity on her face.

"Aren't you divorced?"

"I am. I wanted to improve for reasons I'd rather not go into." Alec said as Riya looked unamused.

"Okay. Fine. Be boring. Anyway, we need to talk about our next move." Riya said as Alec looked up, stirring the cooking pot.

"We aren't losing anyone else."

"And what if we do?" Riya scowled.

"We'll get to it when we get to it."

"I think we should focus on getting that brat out. She's worthless in challenges."

"I can't do that."

"Can't or won't? Considering how cold we're playing, the fact you won't play with the idea of doing what she did to you is baffling."

"I'd rather not talk about that season." Alec said as Riya shrugged, as she started brushing her hair.

"Not changing your game is risky already. Or stupid"

"I changed up by making this alliance. To get numbers at the merge. You're throwing away allies loosely, you're also risking your game, so I don't think that argument is sound." Alec said, tasting the soup, nodding gently.

"That's why I need to plan accordingly. I think we can get a three to one vote if Grett doesn't trust the brat. We need to be ready in case we lose. You've seen Fiore's style in your season. She lied, manipulated and backstabbed everyone. What makes you think she's changed?"

"I know the look in her eyes, and it's not the same." Alec said as he stood up.

"So you're just gonna risk another elimination being messy by not going for her or Grett?"

"If we get to that point, I will. But not at this moment when we have a few pre-merge challenges left." Alec said as he stood up.

"Really? That's your plan?"

"Yes. As far as I'm concerned, my focus is on getting us all to the merge." Alec quickly said as he entered the tent, slight confliction on his face.

Confessional: Alec

"So now it's Fiore and Grett vs me and Riya? When I'd rather work with them. This isn't gonna go well for us if we stay like this. We're gonna have to do a tie breaker at this point. Despite trying to not get us to that point."

Confessional Change: Riya

"I could've mentioned the idol to him.... but I can't until I know Alec want's to drop the brat.... but considering how he looks at her with guilt... that's hard. I need to play this smart. Her and Grett are dangerous together, Alec adds to that danger."

Confessional End

It cut to Ally and Ashley walking with baskets, dropping fruit in them as they found different trees for fruit.

They were trying to stock up while they could so they didn't have to look for more later.

At least the forest had fruit to find everywhere. So their supply was never in concern.

As they were walking, there was a slight awkward tension at this being half of the team.

"Hey Ashley..... Can I ask you something?" Ally asked as she sat a basket down.

"Of course." Ashley smiled as she looked up, seeing there were melons nearby.

"Are..... we gonna be forced to do a tie breaker?" Ally asked as Ashley paused.

"What makes you think it'll end up there?"

"Hunter and I are a pair. You and Jake are a pair..... I won't flip and neither will Hunter....... and I don't think Jake is..... would you flip is the question I should ask you."

"I..... voted for James because he was throwing challenges. With Jake it's diffrent." Ashley said, climbing a tree.

"I know.... I just can't help but ask. Because it's a three to one vote or a tie." Ally looked down as Ashley glanced at her.

Confessional: Ally

"I guess....... I'm..... Hunter and I are voting Jake if we lose again..... I can't backstab Ashley. But I don't have many other options for voting now. Hunter and I are together.... and maybe Ashley could vote Jake, but if not, a tie will happen then."

Confessional End

"I get that. I just don't want to be the gal that turned on her friends. But i'm friends with y'all. So at this point I'm stuck in a haystack as a needle."

"I'm just scared of losing Hunter. We came back because we heard Tess was coming back. Can't judge you for fear of elimination." Ally said as Ashley hopped down.

"The best we can do is be ready for the worst possible result." Ashley said as she lifted both baskets up after dropping some grapefruit into it.

"But as long as it's not personal..... we'll still be friends." Ally smiled.

"Exactly."

"Oh crap! Hunter wanted to do something with Tess, and needs me for it!" Ally said as her eyes went wide.

"If you gotta go, then go, don't let me hold you back, especially since they're your friends too. And if it's important, that means you may get answers." Ashley smiled as Ally relaxed gently at hearing this.

"Thanks Ashley. See you later!" Ally said as she quickly ran off to find Hunter, not wanting to miss whatever Hunter and Tess wanted to talk about.

Ashley watched Ally run off towards the camp, sighing gently.

She wasn't gonna escape a tie breaker if she stuck by Jake, but could she flip?

Confessional: Ashley

"I hope whatever Ally's going to do with Hunter and Tess is something positive. I know we're playing a game. But I also care for Ally and Hunter as friends. The last thing I want is for something to go wrong...... and then voting one of them out."

Confessional End

It cut to Jake and Hunter at the beach, both just sitting in the sand as Hunter was gently moving a rock, thinking he had found the idol spot, but with Jake there, he had to do what Ally had said, slow and steady is best for stealth.

"I wish I saw season two more to understand how James flirted.... or how Aiden responds to stuff. Would make it easier to talk with him."

"Aiden.... can get explosive, trust me, I saw it in our season. But with you, I think it'll not be like that. You haven't done anything wrong." Hunter chuckled as he dug into the sand gently, distracting Jake with conversation.... but he also wanted to hear what Jake was thinking about.

Both were important to him.

"I wish we were on the same team, then at least I could figure out how I feel better. I don't want to make mistakes again."

"Showing worry and being cautious is a sign you're doing good. One step at a time, even if it's small." Hunter said.

"I just worry I'll get paranoid again over something.... after working hard not to."

"Well it's about reason too. I came back for Ally and Tess. You wanted fun and possibly a sign of romance again. Sometimes it takes time."

"Yeah." Jake chuckled.

Confessional: Jake

"Just being able to talk to someone like Hunter who is usually calm or awkward, really helps with being more open.... and I'm glad Ashley is friends with Ally. I just hope..... she won't vote for me now if we lose.... but I trust her."

Confessional End

"You can be here for the money, because you love the game, or romance, or a combination. Nothing wrong with that." Hunter added.

"Exactly. Miriam won season one, and didn't need to come back. I came back to try and enjoy this game. Tons of bad moments, but good ones too." Jake shrugged.

"I came to try and make friends.... and I did, but I also found romance. Never a bad thing if it leaves a positive impact on you. Then the regret isn't there."

"Exactly what Miriam said. If it's good, then look happy and keep pushing forward. And despite losing those close within in this game.... I'm happy to keep playing for them."

As Hunter's hand went deeper into the hole, he felt his hand grab the idol.

Making sure Jake wasn't glancing over at him as he talked, Hunter gently pulled the idol out and slipped it into his pocket before covering up the hole gently and slowly as he laughed at what Jake said.

"Yeah. I get that too. At this point, here for romance and then the game for fun."

Jake smiled as Hunter stood up.

"Speaking of, I need to find Ally. We have to meet Tess for something."

"I hope it works out for you." Jake stood up.

"Thanks..... I'm glad we were on the same team."

"Same."

Confessional: Hunter

"I did it! I found the idol! Ally and I have the power! Now I just need to know when to use it! And then we'll be able to merge with Tess! I'm.... hoping Tess is at the meet up.... Ally is curious about what it's about."

Confessional End

It cut to Fiore and Grett carrying apples, Fiore putting them in her hoodie pockets as Grett looked up.

"What do you two want?" Grett asked as Trevor and Derek walked over.

"Ugh." Fiore scowled at seeing them.

"Great seeing you guys too." Derek rolled his eyes as Trevor elbowed him at making this comment.

"We need Fiore." Trevor yawned.

"What's your issue?" Fiore asked.

"He was cleaning up the stage with Yul." Derek said.

"Hm." Fiore held her tongue.

"Why do you two need her?" Grett asked.

"Marcus and Kristal need her at the host tent. Something about making sure you don't have injuries." Trevor said as Grett glanced down at Fiore with a raised eyebrow upon hearing this.

"I don't have any worries. The worst is my hair that's growing back badly." Fiore scowled as Trevor got sheepish.

"She's just worried about you, and Marcus is too..... and I think if he says you need a checkup...... you have to go."

"I don't need to get checked up by the man with his crazy puppet. I'm as good as I can be after my season." Fiore rolled her eyes gently. 

As Trevor went to speak, Derek cut him off.

"Come on pipsweak, it was direct orders from Kristal. Of everyone here, we couldn't get updated medical records of you."

"Not like my parents cared for a check up, but expecting anything from them is like you guys asking for a promotion." Fiore said as Trevor nodded at this.

"She's just worried about some stuff."

"I'm fine."

"I mean, with how your hair looks like it was cut with a lawn mower, a check up wouldn't be that bad for you any-AAH!" Before Derek could finish, he was quick to let out a cry of pain as he fell to the ground fast as Trevor looked on in shock.

"You kicked him." Grett said as Fiore scowled.

"It's your fault it happened! Maybe if I didn't have to deal with that Russian asshole, I wouldn't be like the way I am now!" Fiore hissed, as Trevor looked at her face, confusion being the expression right now.

"But..... you look fine. Besides the hair, I don't see much damage. Unless you're wearing a prosthetic leg or something, which would explain the hard.....!" Trevor paused as Fiore gave him a look making him back up.

"Get closer, and I'll repay you for that stupid voting confessional twist." Fiore said as Grett held a chuckle in at seeing Derek there in pain, holding his knee and Trevor terrified.

"Nope. That leg's real...." Trevor weakly laughed as he saw Fiore walk away.

"Guess she's not up for a check up." Grett chuckled, following after Fiore as Derek weakly sat up.

"Ugh. The challenge is gonna suck!"

"Can't be as bad as cleaning up with Yul. Oliver made sure he did his part but still" Trevor got up, hesitantly laughing as Derek just looked even more annoyed then before

"You know Emily's gonna want to use that footage. Right?" Derek asked.

"We would."

"Huh.... fair point Trevi." Derek chuckled as he limped off, Trevor behind him.

It cut to the Cyan camp in the morning as they were sitting around the fire, eating fruit as Gabby looked around.

"Where did Tess go?" Gabby asked.

"I think she mentioned Hunter leaving a note for her." Aiden said.

"Should we be worried about that?" Gabby asked.

"I wouldn't worry Gabs. You're telling me you wouldn't do the same if we were on opposite teams?" Ellie smirked as Gabby giggled at Ellie saying this.

"I hope Yul got voted out." Lake suddenly said, since they were talking about teams.

"Oh my god please. I don't want to hear him whine anymore." Aiden groaned as Ellie chuckled.

"Was he really that bad?" She asked.

"You have no idea. That's why I kicked him in the balls..... twice." Lake said. 

"That was great! He deserved it one hundred percent!" Gabby laughed as Aiden nodded.

"Riya being gone wouldn't be bad either.... one of them." Aiden said, missing Gabby and Ellie's glance.

They'd rather it be one of them too.

"I'm just glad we've been able to work together as a team." Lake gently said, making Ellie suddenly freeze.

Lake and Ellie glanced at each other, they were still gunning for the other, but that was being unsaid right now. No drama.

Confessional: Ellie

"Lake is my biggest threat..... but I can't be too vocal about that, because that's just a bad strategy and I could go next. Can't have that."

Confessional Change: Aiden

"It's really stressful right now, everyone knows that the next vote is the official dynamic changing vote of the team..... someone's gonna be hurt."

Confessional End

"If we keep winning, we can merge with the numbers. It has to be around eleven or ten." Ellie said.

"If we keep working together, I could see that happening.... but you never know what can happen. I don't even know if we would've won the last challenge if yellow hadn't burnt down the stage and all the instruments." Lake said.

"But I thought our song was really good. We might've won anyway" Gabby pouted.

"It definitely was good, but I get what Lake's saying. We thought our song was good, but the question is, did the hosts? We just don't know if we would've actually lost or not, and then had to vote someone out." Aiden said.

"I guess that's fair. But I'm happy we still won, because compared to the other teams, we don't have much to fight about....so if we did lose again...... it could've been really bad." Gabby said.

“Well then, what happens if we lose any of the next few challenges?” Aiden asked

"Cross that bridge when we get to it." Lake said, Ellie nodding.

"Yeah. Better to just focus our energy into winning." Ellie said, as everyone seemed to agree.

"Hope whatever Tess is doing works out." Aiden thought out loud.

"Whatever she's doing, I'm sure it'll end alright." Ellie nodded, as she glanced at Gabby.

The mention of Tess made everyone think the exact same thing. They needed to get Tess to side with them for the vote or else their duo was in trouble.

As they kept eating, it was getting more clear how this was gonna go.

"Where did you find pears?" Gabby asked suddenly.

"By the beach, surprisingly there was a whole pear tree. You wouldn't think there’d be one, but there was!" Aiden smiled.

"Amazing!" Gabby cheered.

Confessional: Gabby

“I really hope we can keep winning the challenges. I know Ellie had an idol, and she's friends with Tess who might vote with us. But it still feels that our games are on the line.”

Confessional Change: Lake

“I know Ellie has the idol, and I also know she's friends with Tess, so Tess could possibly side with her. I'm at great risk of being eliminated, but one thing in my favor is that Ellie doesn't know that I know she has the idol, and if I play it smart enough, I know I can make it through this.” 

Confessional End

It cut to Tess as she walked through the forest finding a spot Hunter mentioned before where they hung out as a trio during season Two. Them and Ally.

Getting to where the rock and logs were, she sat down as she looked around, and smiled gently, recalling the season again.

When she found the people that made her happy and made her able to keep going, and the reason she even came back for all-stars.

Confessional: Tess

Hunter left me a bark note. Guess he wants to tell Ally now.... and I agree with him on that. We need to tell Ally."

Confessional End

"There you are." Hunter said as Tess looked up smiling as she saw Hunter and Ally walking over.

"Hunter, Ally!" Tess smiled as she hugged Ally who hugged back.

"Why'd you bring us here Hunter?" Ally asked, holding laughter back.

"Okay...... first you may want to sit down. Before I say anything." Hunter said as Ally nodded, a slight bit worried at how it was worded.

"Babe..... how did you see our dynamic together in our season?" Hunter gently asked as Ally blinked.

"Oh.... uh..... I thought....... huh....." Ally said, stumped.

"You'd thought we'd be together?" Tess helped.

"Yeah, all three of us together." Ally nodded.

"Well..... that's the reason I've been off." Hunter said as Ally raised a brow as he glanced at Tess.

"I didn't come back for the game. I came back.... for you and Hunter." Tess said as Ally blinked.

"Oh."

"The last sixteen months at school, I felt something missing, and..... not in the sense of hopelessness. But a part of me was missing."

"In your heart?"

"Yeah. And rewatching the show..... I understood it's from missing you and Hunter in my life. And regret of going to college away from you guys."

"You made friends with Ellie, Hunter and I would want you to be happy first before forcing into a romance."

"Which I am thankful for. But I.... think I'm ready."

"Tess got in touch about wanting to surprise you with this, because I mentioned when we watched back our season I saw the sign that we all wanted it, but.....  like she said, going to college kinda put a pin in it." Hunter said.

"And yeah, I wasn't ready. But afterwards, I realized you two were too important to just let something that's super important to me pass by and I want to give it a chance.... if you're willing to try. I want to at least look at this without regret." Tess said, placing her hands on Ally who looked up.

"I..... yes! Yes!" Ally said, smiling suddenly at this as Hunter and Tess relaxed.

She loved the idea. 

"I know what you mean.... about feeling like something's missing and I agree.... me and Hunter have that sometimes, and was always worried we did something wrong... but knowing it's this....  I want to do this. With both of you guys" Ally said, beaming with excitement.

As she looked up at Hunter and Tess, both of them pulled her into a hug which she returned, the stress leaving her at realizing this was what was up with Hunter.

They wanted to take this gamble together. With no regrets with their choice.

"I..... just fear if this doesn't work out..... our friendship won't last."

"Never. We're together no matter what. As friends.... or as a poly." Tess said.

"Any trials and tribulations, we're fighting together." Hunter agreed as Ally hugged him tighter.

"Thank you Hunter...... you too Tess....."

"Anything for you babe." Hunter gently said as Tess chuckled.

"If anyone finds out, it'll make us bigger threats." Tess chuckled.

"And if that happens, we'll fight it together, like last season." Hunter grinned.

"Right on!"

Confessional: Ally

"So that's why Hunter's been so off.... I really wished he had mentioned it earlier, I would have said yes, but he wanted to make sure we could talk about it first before dropping it on me... because they care so much.... so I'm happy about how today went."

Confessional Change: Hunter

"Oh man, I'm glad that went smoothly. I was worried about hurting Ally..... but now we can give this a try and.... hopefully we can be happy together. All three of us. Because together..... I feel all three of us are complete together then when apart."

Confessional End

It cut to the production tent as Trevor and Derek came in, Trevor supporting Derek as he limped while Kristal and Marcus looked at them.

"What happened? Where's Fiore?" Marcus asked.

"We brought up you needing her. Then Derek commented on her hair, and she got really pissed and kicked him in the knees, and then stormed off." Trevor said as he sat down.

"Great. I'm worried about the challenge now." Kristal sighed as Marcus looked over the notes.

"If another injury happens, we need to give her a choice of being medically evacuated or get a check up to make sure she's fine." Marcus said as Kristal nodded, before Marcus left the tent as Kristal looked stuff over.

"Wait. You're going to do the space challenge?" Derek asked as Kristal nodded.

"Yep." She said as she looked over at him, thinking gently.

"You know what....... Why don’t you do the announcement, Derek?" Kristal smirked as Derek gasped gently. 

"Wait, really?" He asked as Trevor looked over at them.

"Sure! Trevor, can you let Oliver know we're about ready?" Kristal smiled.

"Yeah." Trevor sighed as he walked out of the tent.

"First you let me skip out on testing today’s challenge… …and now I get to do announcements? You’re spoiling me, girl!"

"I see your potential, Derek. After watching your season, I can tell you have the personality for this. The dry humor killed it with people. You and Trevor have a personality." Kristal smiled. 

Wow, no one’s ever told me that before. Thank you, Kristal..... I just hope we're doing enough" Derek sighed gently as Kristal patted his back.

"You are..... I do have to say this however, you have to be involved with the freepass for the challenge today still since Trevor cleaned the stage. Oliver was on point about dividing work evenly." Kristal said as Derek laughed.

"He was always uptight like that. Can't say I shouldn't expect that however. So it's not that big of a deal. Will be a real surprise for Trevi when he hears this." Derek said as he hobbled over to the microphone and leaned in.

"Attention, campers! Meet us at the challenge area on the top of the hill! Pronto, baby! It's time for your next challenge so don't be late, it's gonna be a fun one today!" Derek announced happily.

It cut to the Team banner's before showing the Magenta and Cyan team waiting for the Yellow team as they slowly walked out.

"Welcome All-Stars! Team Magenta and Cyan, getting your first look at the new Yellow Team. Yul voted out at the last elimination." Kristal grinned as everyone watched.

"Wait. Really? Nah. I can actually see that." Hunter chuckled.

"I'm glad he's gone." Gabby mumbled.

"He was more trouble than he was worth." Lake agreed.

"I'm curious how that vote went." Ashley mumbled as Jake nodded.

"Anyway, enough of that, it's time to discuss today's challenge! Today’s challenge will test how well you handle balls." Kristal grinned, Derek standing beside her.

"Excuse me? The prasing..... sounds wrong." Lake said, everyone nodding.

"As long as it's not that wheel challenge from last season. The kissing was the worst." Aiden said as the season one cast looked shocked and concerned at that.

"No Aiden. It's not. For the first part... Each team must look for four large balls of yarn in their team color that will be scattered in the forest. It doesn't matter who gets what, but your team must have all of the balls of yarn collected. You must have all four balls, then once you do you can start rolling them up to the top of the hill, where I will be waiting..... Okay fine, you don't have to find all four balls beforehand. When you find one, just start rolling it up." Kristal chuckled.

As the Thirteen looked at Kristal annoyed, she rolled her eyes as Trevor walked over.

"And there is an advantage. There's a pass hidden somewhere in the forest for anyone one of you to find. If you find it, you won’t have to carry your balls up the hill! That's right, any balls YOU find won't have to be pushed up. Derek will do that!" Kristal smirked as Trevor blinked.

"What?! Not me?!" Trevor was surprised at this.

"Nope Trevi, you did the clean up last time. Now it's my turn." Derek smirked as Trevor blinked in surprise as Kristal continued to grin at everyone. 

"The one who finds the pass will be able to save their strength for the second part of the challenge..... or for someone who would benefit not getting crushed." Kristal said as Fiore rolled her eyes. 

"Right. Because that's what I need right now." Fiore said as she continued to pout, Grett patting her shoulder gently. Getting a smile.

"Alright campers! This challenge starts…now!" Kristal said as she blew an airhorn.

"Okay y'all, I think we should split up into pairs to hunt faster." Ashley smiled.

"I agree with that plan. We should try and find the balls fast." Hunter agreed.

"Ashley! Wanna be my player 2?" Ally smiled, she was worried about Hunter, but he just smiled, happy she wasn't nervous about working with Ashley.... despite being a team of four.

"Darn tootin’! Sounds fun" Ashley smiled.  

"So... it's me and Hunter?" Jake smiled nervously.

"Yep! We got this. We can cover more ground if we split in pairs." Ashley grinned as Jake nodded. 

"Come on Jake. We got this handled. The two dudes with attitude!" Hunter grinned as Jake laughed.

"Okay. Let's do it." Jake said.

"Cool! We can try out a question card while looking!" Hunter grinned.

"You brought those?" Jake laughed as Hunter nodded with a slight grin as the Magenta team spit up, looking for the yarn balls.

It cut to the Yellow team, the tension somewhat high as Alec cleared his throat.

"Since there's four of us, we should split up into two pairs." Alec said.

At seeing Fiore look away from Riya, who glared at her. Grett instantly spoke up.

"Fiore can come with me, together we work better than either of you would with us." Grett said as Alec nodded.

"I feel me and her would still be a great team." Alec said.

"Don't be so high on yourself. You and Bollywood won't be great at this. She doesn't lift any fingers for shit." Fiore rolled her eyes.

"Oh be quiet brat. I'd have you know I have experience with carrying. I've had to carry people in my movies. I'm a star you know!" Riya smugly said.

"Cool. Now please get 25 trillion miles away from me.” Fiore said as she turned on her heel and marched off, with Grett following while giggling to herself.

Riya's face turned red, looking enraged as she watched her strut off.

It cut to the Cyan team as they were considering their options.

"We should all split up. But it's hard to decide how we want to split up." Ellie sighed gently.

"Me and my baddie could go together!" Gabby cheered.

"Or we can all try going solo for all of it." Lake said.

"I guess we can try that. We can find the balls faster alone than being too grouped up." Tess mumbled.

"So cover more ground faster. Got it." Ellie smiled.

“But what if we can't move the ball alone?” Aiden asked.

"I'll hulk every ball for everyone! Grrr" Gabby laughed, jokingly growling while doing a “most muscular pose”. Tess chuckled at the humor she showed.

"If we need help, just yell out." Ellie said as the rest nodded.

"Sounds like a plan." Aiden said.

Gabby gently looked at Ellie, nervous at the idea of the others being onto her and Ellie.

Knowing she had to act normal, she let out a laugh.

"Banzai!" Gabby grinned.

It cut to Hunter and Jake as they walked though the woods, they were quietly looking and not talking that much, before Hunter sighed, knowing he had to say something to Jake.

"Okay Jake. What are three hobbies you like to do in your free time with people or by yourself." Hunter smiled as Jake laughed gently at how dorky it sounded.

"Three hobbies, do I really have to answer that? Or can I do another?" Jake asked as Hunter grinned.

"Come on, we're a team and bonding should be easy for us.... and besides, if you answer yours then I can't veto it." Hunter smiled.

"Okay..... I'm into singing. But the musical made that obvious. I've also gotten into baking, especially with Miriam helping me daily. I can't help it...... but something i've been trying to do is become a wedding planner...... I don't know. I just...... love being creative and helping people's dreams come true." Jake chuckled as Hunter blinked.

"A wedding planner? That's diffrent." Hunter laughed, before continuing "But like my mom always said, if you have a dream, work hard at it." He smiled as Jake nodded.

"Miriam said the exact same thing..... and I came back to get closure with a past relationship so I can fully move on..... but now I have another issue."

"Let me guess..... James and Aiden?" Hunter asked.

"Yeah. I guess there's a thing.... but I need to talk things out with Aiden first. Would rather talk things out than jump on something. But being on different teams makes it hard." Jake sighed as he ran his hand through his hair as Hunter nodded.

"I get that.... makes things hard."

"Okay....... my question, what's your biggest regret?" Jake asked as Hunter blinked, before laughing.

"Guess that's fair...... hiding from Ally about the fact me and Tess wanted to try a poly relationship with her. We made her worried and.... it sucks. We should have been open sooner when she was so happy about it. But we wasted time." Hunter sighed as Jake patted his shoulder.

"Regret's can sting.... like how I made poor choices last season. And..... I live with regret a lot.... but I improve and try to be happy."

"Maybe Miriam is rubbing off on you. That's wise..... and hey, at least Ally was happy when we told her."

The two smiled as Jake handed Hunter the card back.

"Thanks.... for making conversation.... I suck at it sometimes when it's awkward." Jake said as Hunter nodded.

"That's what friends do." Hunter smiled as Jake suddenly stopped.

"Is our ball in a tree?" He asked, looking up, a Magenta ball was in the tree.

"Yep." Hunter said, looking up too.

It cut to Fiore and Grett as they looked around, as Fiore circled a tree, she walked right into something tall, which she quickly latched onto to stop herself falling down.

“Hello.” Fiore looked up at the tall German girl looking down at her and giggling.

"Lake?!” Fiore now realized she was hugging her leg, and quickly let go and backed away, blushing slightly in embarrassment.

“S-Sorry.” Fiore said embarrassed, as Lake was still giggling.

“It's okay.” Lake giggled, as she ruffled her hair, making the girl pout as she was still blushing, as Grett walked over.

"Why are you looking here?" Grett asked as Lake chuckled.

"Look everywhere and anywhere, you know." Lake shrugged.

"With twelve balls.... I guess that makes sense." Grett said, looking at Fiore as she sighed.

"Grett.... can you give me and Lake a moment?" Fiore asked as Grett seemed confused but nodded.

"Sure squirt. I'll find you if I find a ball." Grett said as she walked off.

"You wanted to ask me something?" Lake smiled.

"I finished your book." Fiore said, glancing away.

"It took Aiden three weeks. You did that fast." Lake chuckled.

"I'm a fast reader." Fiore said as Lake nodded.

"That’s great! That being said…… I saw Gabby hug you the other day." Lake said as Fiore looked at Lake shocked.

"You did?!"

“Yeah, what was that about?” Lake asked, while smirking.

“Um…she was thanking me for giving her and Ellie the idol.” Fiore answered, a little awkwardly.

“Well that was really sweet of her, but it is Gabby after all.” Lake smiled, but noticed Fiore looking guilty.

“What's wrong?”

"......can I be honest about something?"

"Of course." She said, kneeling down to her.

“...It was a mistake! I was supposed to give it to you! And now you'll probably be idoled out because of MY fuck up!” Fiore yelled, hands gripping the sides of her head, looking at the ground while panting.

Her eyes were squeezed shut, but she could feel the large but gentle hands being placed on her shoulders and squeezing them softly.

...... but........" Fiore's eyes were still shut and her face towards the ground.

"But what?"

"......it felt…nice. Them being so thankful to me...... I always wanted that! I always wanted to be accepted for who I was. I'm not a girly, dumb little girl who's eyes glitter at everything new like all the other kids my parents compare me to. No one wanted a girl who's smarter than them, and who had to survive and learn about the world alone.”

Lake stayed silent, just listening to her.

“But i'm the sole villian on this fucking show for being fucked! I was fucked by a four person alliance that I had to overcome, and fucked at final four, becuase if Alec won who's to say he wouldn't just leave my life anyway which happened regardless, and fucking look at me!" Fiore nearly yelled, yanking out her extensions. Showing her short uneven hair.

Lake's eyes went slightly wide at seeing this, but stayed quiet and let her continue to rant.

"Everyone in my life has told me I'm a monster and a hell spawn that no one wants around, why can't I just have people that love me for me! For all my faults and scars! I'm sorry about the idol..... I just wanted someone to accept me for me.... and not what they wanted me to be for them." Fiore said, tears started coming down her cheeks, much to her embarrassment.

But then she froze, as Lake took the extensions out of her clenched fists, and started putting them back on her.

"I accept you for the smart girl you are. You found that totem for me quickly. And you're smart for your age...... and I can definitely understand not feeling accepted for who you are.... and luckily I have people that do..... and you have some here too. Me, Grett, even if me and Ellie are on opposite sides.... She and Gabby do too. I want to see that beaming smile of yours, not a sulking frown." Lake said as she finished getting the extensions in, and poked her cheek gently.

"Becuase the best way we can say fuck you to all of those people who want us to change.... is be happy about who we are." Lake said as she hugged Fiore tightly, who gently returned it, looking surprised at this.

After a few seconds Fiore let go, as Grett walked up to them.

"I found a ball, we should get going."

Fiore didn't say anything or even turn around, just gave her a thumbs up.

"Right..... good luck." Lake said.

"You too." Grett smiled, as she quickly ran off.

Lake looked down at Fiore who was quickly trying to wipe her tears while sniffling, before quickly following after Grett. Seeing them leave, Lake stood back up and started walking in the other direction, looking for Cyan yarn anywhere on the current path.

Neither saw Riya glaring at them from behind a tree, seeing AND hearing the whole conversation.

Confessional: Riya

"So that brat is allied with Lake secretly....... that's how she knew about the idol and why Lake had my totem! Oh her time is up. Being a little backstabbing rat. Going back to the cheese is gonna screw her over!"

Confessional End

It cut to Ally and Ashley walking through the woods, looking around, Ashley letting out an over dramatic groan as she laughed.

"Aren’t these dang balls supposed to be as big as a bull? Where could they be hiding?" Ashley asked, looking at Ally with a huge grin.

"I know. I wish we could fast travel in real life. Would make this more easy looking wide." Ally chuckled.

"Fast travel? That's a video game thing right?" Ashley asked, smiling. 

"Yeah! It's when you teleport locations in RPGs, Role Playing Game....that’s what it’s called. Or any games that have fast travel!" Ally giggled.

"Huh, well I’ll be. That must be why my sisters love these games." Ashley said.

"It's super fun!" Ally smiled as Ashley raised a brow.

"You seem a lot happier today!" Ashkey smiled.

"Well, certain friends of mine finally told me what they wanted!" Ally smiled.

"Tess and Hunter?" Ashley asked.

"Yeah! We're.... gonna try dating together.... it explains why they both came back and why Hunter's been so off!" Ally smiled as Ashley nodded.

"Nerves can happen. Will was like that when he asked me out." Ashley chuckled as Ally grinned.

"Well now I can focus on kicking butt with Hunter till merge. We can all get to merge as long as we're working as a unit!" Ally grinned as Ashley nodded.

"So where would these yarn balls be to where we can, what's the term you'd use?" Ashley asked.

"Slay the house down." Ally said as Ashley nodded.

"That!"

"They could be anywhere..... let's look in the trees, they might be doing a troll job." Ally grinned as Ashley nodded.

"Let's do it!"

Confessional: Ashley

"I love having Ally around. So I'm glad she wanted to work with me today. It's fun to make more friends here."

Confessional End

It cut to Alec walking through the woods, before Riya quickly came up behind him, pointing over his shoulder.

"Stop! I see something behind that bush!" Riya said, as Alec paused, walking over to it.

"It's a ball! DAMN! But it’s for the Cyan Team!" Alec groaned. 

"Oh Fucking hell!!" Riya snapped before grinning. "Actully this can work." Riya said, walking over to the ball with a devilish smirk.

"Riya? What are you doing?!" Alec asked, as Riya started rolling the ball to where the hill went down a slope, where the lake waited at the bottom.

"We need to stall the Cyan team." Riya rolled her eyes as she pushed the ball down the hill, watching as it went flying down the hill, a smirk on Riya's face.

"And you think Ellie and Gabby would like this, knowing you're sabotaging them again, after the sandbag challenge?! And if you really want to sabotage someone that badly, why not the magenta team? You know, the team that doesn't have any of our alliance members on it?” Alec snapped, as Riya rolled her eyes.

"Cyan has only lost once, and with people like Lake and Aiden there, they need to start going sooner rather than later. Ellie and Gabby can handle themselves, they're together and if Ellie is friends with Tess, they can handle a loss." Riya said.

"And if they find out you betrayed them like that, then we'll have four members of the alliance, and Fiore and Grett are already on the edge of ditching us! I care about everyone left in the alliance." Alec said.

Riya considered mentioning the idol, but shook her head, not seeing the point in it when she wasn't in danger.

Meanwhile, Gabby was near the bottom of the hill just wandering around, looking for the balls. Then she heard something behind her, as she looked behind her, her eyes went wide at seeing the giant cyan ball rolling right towards her.

She quickly jumped out of the way as the ball shot past her and watched it roll right into the lake. She then looked up to the top of the hill where the ball came from, and could just make out Riya standing at the top.

Gabby scowled, clenched her fists and gritted her teeth as she glared up at Riya, as she then ran off to find Ellie

Confessional: Gabby 

"So Riya wants to pay super dirty. Well then I'll make sure she pays for going behind the back of the villains alliance again! She'll rue the day she threw sand in Ellie's eyes, and rolling our ball into the water is something else she's gonna rue!"

Confessional End 

"Listen. I should warn you, you need to watch out for Fiore. She's a little rat that will fuck us over if we don't watch her." Riya said as Alec turned to her, glaring hard.

"After the crap you've done to this alliance, the last thing I'm doing is turning my back on her again for doing to me what we did to everyone!" Alec said as Riya rolled her eyes.

"She already betrayed us and the alliance. Her and Lake have an alliance. I saw them talking, and I bet Fiore sneaks offs every day to plot with her."

"If she has done that, I don't blame her."

"What?!"

"What you did with Yul at the sandbags makes one reason."

"I thought you hated her and blamed her for everything that's gone wrong in your life." Riya snarked, before seeing the fire in his eyes before he turned away.

"And you know all about being loyal to a friend." He said before walking off.

Yeah. That was a nerve. 

As Alec moved forward, Riya paused, looking down in some regret, before quickly shaking her head, putting her villainous face back on and followed him.

It cut to Gabby as she was running around looking for Ellie. She then saw her rolling a Cyan ball a distance away, as she quickly ran up to her.

“Ellie!”

"Hey, Gabs! I found a cyan ball. Can you help me push it up?" Ellie smiled.

"Of course bestie!" She said as they started rolling said ball up the hill.

"Hey, Gabs.... you look really on edge. Is everything okay?" Ellie gently asked.

"No.... I saw something really bad.” She said scowling.

"What did you see?" Elle asked.

"I was near the bottom of a hill by the lake, and a cyan ball rolled down the hill into the lake and nearly ran me over! I saw Riya at the top of the hill, so she rolled it into the lake to sabotage us again!” Gabby explained angrily, as Ellie's eyes went wide.

"What?! Are you kidding me!" She yelled in anger.

“She could've been trying to crush me as well.” Gabby said scowling.

“Oh my god, how are we supposed to trust this alliance with her around!” 

"Let's just focus on winning the challenge now. If we want to win... we need to get that ball from the lake, or we might lose points." Gabby said as Ellie nodded, sighing gently. 

"Gabs.... how strong would you say you are?" Ellie raised a brow as she giggled.

"I'm as strong as a bear Ellie!” Gabby said, jokingly flexing which made Ellie giggle.

“Alright, you bring this ball to the top of the hill, I'll get the one from the lake.” Ellie said.

“I can handle this, go help us win!" Gabby cheered as Ellie nodded.

"Which way  did you see the ball?" Ellie asked as Gabby pointed the way she came as Ellie nodded.

"See you when I get the ball."

"See you baddie! Together we are stronger, even when we are separated briefly."

Confessional: Ellie

"Oh my god this bitch is getting on my nerves day by day. She acts better than all of us, she's already a Hollywood star, she's back for ego, and she's a terrible alliance partner. And I can't see her getting out anytime soon now! Now if you excuse me. I need to fish for a yarn ball in the lake!"

Confessional End 

The camera showed a montage of the campers finding and rolling their balls.

It showed Tess and Lake rolling a ball, the two girls grinning at each other as they were pushing the ball up the hill

It showed Gabby rolling another ball super fast, flying past Alec and Riya who were surprised at how fast she flew by.

Fiore and Grett were shown walking through the words, as Grett stopped and pointed out a ball  that was up in the tree. Rolling her eyes, Fiore scowled, Grett picked up a rock and threw it at the ball after Fiore backed up, the ball falling as Grett started rolling it.

Ally was shown looking around, confused at not seeing anything, before hearing a loud noise behind her, turning around, she saw Ashley walking on the ball like she was log rolling.

It showed Ellie coming out of the water, spitting some of the water out in annoyance after Gabby told her about the one ball rolling into the lake.

Jake and Hunter found a ball and worked together to get it up to the top of the hill, the two smiling at each other.

Fiore was looking in bushes, trying to find a ball, when her eyes went wide as she smirked, finding the free pass, she grabbed it, getting Derek to push a ball up for her. She was walking ahead of him like a queen as Riya blinked in surprise at seeing this scene.

It showed Alec looking around, trying to find one, before he ran into Fiore. At making eye contact, she gently grinned at him, motioning back, letting him see Derek pushing the ball, making Alec chuckle before he started rolling a ball he found.

It showed Jake and Hunter pushing another ball up the hill, before suddenly Hunter slid, not sure how that happened as suddenly as it did. The sudden movement made Jake stumble, but both were able to save it, as they saw Ally roll the last ball past them, clearly happy.

It lastly showed Riya struggling to push the last ball, until she fell backwards onto the ground with the ball rolling right over her as it continued rolling down. Until it was stopped by Grett who put out her hand to stop it, as she casually rolled it up the hill, while side eyeing Riya still flat on the ground.

It cut to the three teams with all 12 balls at the top of the hill, Kristal smirked at them.

"Now that everyone has their big beautiful balls ready to go, it's onto the second part of the challenge. Each team will choose one member as the “attacker” who'll be at the top of the hill. The other members will be “defenders” and be at the bottom of the hill, guarding a goal. The attackers job is to roll their balls down the cliff and towards one of the opposing team’s goals, while the defenders jobs are to stop them, each defender has to try and stop at least one ball each. Each time a ball lands in your team's goal, your team gets a point." Kristal said.

"Fun." Fiore scowled. 

"This is building to something with the points." Hunter said.

"So the team that gets a point.... is in trouble right?" Tess asked.

"Yep, it's kinda like golf, the more points you get, the worse. By the end of the challenge …the team that has the least amount of points will win reward and immunity. And the team with the most points, I’ll be seeing your butts at elimination, where someone will be the 6th person voted out of Disventure Camp: All-Stars. Oh, I almost forgot… Cyan Team, since you guys have one extra member, you will have two attackers! I’ll give y’all a moment to strategize, and we’ll get it on!" Kristal smiled.

It cut to Magenta talking strategy.

"So who do we think should push the ball?" Ashley asked.

"Well I think Hunter would be a good goalie." Ally gently said, everyone looking at her. 

"I guess having one of the stronger ones guarding would be smart." Jake sighed.

"So Hunter guards, I'll push the balls." Ashley smiled.

"Sure." Hunter smiled. 

"Soo me and Ally help Hunter guarding the goal?" Jake asked.

"Yep. That's how it works, three to one each...... not counting Cyan." Ally laughed gently at realizing this.

"Don't worry Jake, we're the dream team!" Hunter grinned as Ashley nodded.

"Alright." Jake sighed.

It cut to the Yellow team as they were thinking.

"I want to guard the goal." Riya crossed her arms.

"Really?" Alec asked, crossing his arms, he thought she'd want to push the ball, but people can still be surprising.

“I'm fine with it, watching her get crushed would be an enjoyable time." Fiore smirked.

"You'll be doing it to brat!" Riya snapped.

"You think me guarding the goal would be a smart idea? How'd you almost win?!" Fiore snarked as Riya growled at her.

"We need a powerhouse for the balls, and that's you Grett." Alec cut in, trying to get them to stop.

"Fiore. You fine with guarding.... you may not be able to aim the ball right because.... their bullshit with the height." Grett said. 

Ugh. I don't want to. But I have to at this point. Because if we can't make the other teams get points, we're screwed."

"Don't worry.... I'm making plans now." Alec said as Fiore dryly looked at him.

"How fun."

Confessional: Riya

"I'm not stupid, Grett won't side with me against the brat. She hates me, and Alec would side with them. Yes, I have an idol, but it won't do much for me if I use it tonight!"

Confessional End.

It cut to the Cyan team, as they were thinking.

"I should be a defender, my height can add to our team's defence." Lake said.

"Good point, then I'll be an attacker." Tess said.

"We need to strike the iron while it's hot!!" Gabby smiled hugely as Aiden chuckled.

"Hey Gabs, why don't you attack the goal,  you guys will do great together." Aiden smiled. 

"Which leaves us as defenders? I'm up for that." Ellie smiled.

"Sounds like a plan." Lake nodded.

It cut to the attackers on the hill, each having a ball ready to push. Then the defenders, waiting.

"Alright, for immunity and reward. This challenge starts…now!" Kristal said.

"Hmmm.... Hunter would say go for yellow, biggest threat with players..... not that I like how unfair that does seem. But......" Ashley sighed quietly.

"Let's go crazy!!" She yelled as she pushed the ball towards the Yellow goal.

"Okay this is just unfair fo-" As Fiore got ready to block it, the ball rolled over her, crushing her as the ball rolled into the goal.

"Thanks Fiore. We lost a point!" Riya snapped as Alec walked by, more worried about her groaning in pain than the point.

"You okay?" Alec asked, kneeling down, and offered a hand which she smacked away.

"I said before I don't need your pity now!" She said, voice muffled from her hand covering her mouth, wincing slightly in pain as she got up, Alec sighing.

Confessional: Alec

"One step forward..... three steps back..... brilliant work."

Confessional End

It cut back to the top of the hill, as Tess and Gabby each rolled a ball to the edge of the hill.

“Ok, so should we both just roll a ball down to each of the other goals?” Tess asked, smiling back at Gabby.

“Hm, no! Let's roll both down to magenta!” Gabby said, a determined look on her face, which caught Tess off by surprise.

“Oh, really?” 

“Yeah!” 

“Um, alright…” Tess said, but clearly hesitant, as she pushed her ball down towards magenta's goal.

It cut to Ally standing by her team's goal, as she looked up to see the cyan ball rolling down the hill right towards her. She ran out forward to block it, but it just pushed her back. She tried to hold it, but she tripped and the ball just barely rolled into the goal.

It then cut to a yellow ball rolling down the hill, Ellie tried to stop it, but the ball just slammed into her, rolling over her and right into the goal.

"Shit!" She groaned, they were down a point.

“Sheesh, you people suck as goalies.” Kristal mocked. “The score is tied, it's one across the board!”

It showed another cyan ball coming down for Magenta.

Jake held his breath as he got ready to block it, before his eyes went wide as the ball went faster and it rolled over him, into the goal.

"I love this challenge..... so fun." He groaned gently, as Ally and Hunter looked down at him concerned.

Hunter then looked up to see a yellow ball now rolling right towards them now, and Hunter quickly ran out and got ready for it, Ally watching worried as it slammed into him, dragging him back slightly, but he managed to stop the ball, sighing in relief.

“Okay, why does it feel like we're getting ganged up on.” 

It cut to Riya standing at the goal, as she looked up at the top of the hill, and saw Ashley aiming a ball right towards her. Riya smirked with confidence looking up at her.

“Eat this!” Ashley called down, as she shouldered the ball with all her might, as it was sent rocketing down the hill, right towards Riya.

Riya didn't look so confident now, her eyes went wide in alarm at the giant pink ball barreling right towards her. She had to do something and fast!

She then looked down to see Fiore still sitting on the ground, her hands covering her mouth for some reason. Quick as a whip, she grabbed her by the shoulders, picked her up and then held her out in front of herself.

“Hey! What are you-” BANG-CRACK! The ball plowed right into her face, which was enough to divert it as it rolled past the goal.

“Ha! It worked!” Riya cheered, pumping her fists into the air, dropping Fiore onto the ground in the process. 

Alec looked on in shock and concern after seeing that whole scene. He was nearly speechless.

"R-Riya!? What the hell!"

"What? I did it! I blocked it!" Riya bragged, but then followed his gaze down onto the ground behind her. 

Fiore was curled up on the ground in a fetal position, face to the ground with her hands covering it. Alec quickly approached her, and he swore he thought it sounded like she was crying

“Fiore! Are you-” Alec was saying, kneeling down to her, before suddenly being cut off.

“Fulk oaf!” Fiore screamed up at him, her voice muffled and disoriented from her hands covering her face. This made Alec back up slightly.

Fiore then uncurled herself and stumbled up onto her feet, while breathing heavily. She then slowly turned to look at Riya, and just glared at her with a murderous look in her eyes. Which actually seemed to make Riya a little nervous.

Then without warning she charged right at her and immediately went to kick her right in the shins. But Riya just simply stepped to the side, and Fiore missed her. She then started rapidly kicking at her, but Riya just simply backed away from her.

Fiore was still keeping her hands on her face, this was making it harder for her to move around quickly, so Riya was able to just step away every time she attempted to kick her. 

This went on for a few more seconds until Fiore kicked extra hard, which caused herself to slip and fall backwards back onto the ground. Riya couldn't help but smirk amusingly at this, which enraged Fiore relentlessly. 

But instead of trying to kick her again, she just stumbled back onto her feet and quickly started walking away, seemingly not bothered with her anymore. But she still turned back to look at her.

"Yau batta hop wi fulkin wen! Or yaur azs es gowa ba sont en fwant ov vat fulkin bos!" Fiore almost roared, though her words were still muffled and disoriented by her hands, and she seemed to wince in pain a little from her rant, before she quickly continued walking away from them. 

“Fiore? Are you alr-” Alec started asking in concern at noticing her wincing, but once again got cut off.

“O'M FONE!!!” She screamed with pure rage, making her wince again as she quickly ran off again. 

Alec looked on with concern, both because of her pained expression, and also because he was sure he saw her eyes were getting watery for a second. But at this point he knew she didn't want to speak to him right now.

“...I couldn't understand a single word she said there.” Riya said nonchalantly, hands on her hips and looking at Alec who looked at her with a very unamused expression to say the least.

Fiore sat on the ground a few feet away from the goal, her trembling hands still covering her mouth and nose, breathing heavily and sniffling, trying really hard not to cry in front of everyone there.

The defenders on the other teams had just watched the whole scene. Most were staring in shock, not sure what to make of it.

But Lake and Ellie were looking with concern at Fiore sitting away. They both looked at each other, realizing they were thinking the same thing. But the challenge was still happening, so they couldn't go check on her right now, but would afterwards.

It showed the Cyan girls rolling their other two balls to the cliff's edge. Tess looked down towards the goals, then back at Gabby.

"Let's score on yellow." 

“Na, let's score both on Magenta again!” Gabby said, with a determined look on her face.

“What? Why? We've already scored on them twice.” Tess asked, confused.

“Exactly! And if we score on them twice again, it's a guaranteed win for us!” Gabby explained, with a small wicked grin on her face.

“But the yellow team is a bigger threat, they have the smarter players.” Tess reasoned.

“But magenta are the bigger challenge threats.” Gabby argued back.

“Wouldn't it be a good idea to go for yellow so one of them will get out? Like Riya?" Tess pointed out, which made Gabby silent, as she couldn't think of what to say to that.

Confessional: Tess 

“Scoring against Magenta means scoring against Ally and Hunter, and I don't want to put them in danger of going home. Now more than ever after our talk. It's already bad enough scoring on them twice, I  just don't understand why Gabby is being so stubborn.”

Confessional Change: Gabby

“Don't look at me like that! After what Riya did to Ellie in the sandbag challenge, and what she nearly did to me in this challenge, it would be perfect revenge to make her lose. But I thought to myself, and thought what would Ellie do? And she would target Magenta to try and keep the villain's alliance safe, despite Riya making us feel very unsafe in this alliance, there are others who are looking out for us, so it makes strategy scenes to not target them.”

Confessional End 

At Gabby not saying anything, Tess rolled the ball over and into position for scoring on yellow. 

“Hey!” Gabby cried, as she quickly ran to the other side of the ball, and pushed it past Tess over to the direction of Magenta's goal.

“Gabby!?” Tess cried out in shock, she was getting frustrated now.

She quickly ran up and grabbed the ball and started pulling it back, but Gabby was still holding onto it and she started pulling it too. So now they were just tug of waring over the ball now.

“Let go!”

“You're being ridiculous!”

Then after a bit of pulling and shuffling, they both suddenly lost grip of the ball at the same time, and both flew backwards and landed on their butts.

Then they both looked up and their eyes went wide as they saw the ball start rolling a little bit on the edge of the cliff.

They quickly stood up to stop it, but it was too late as the ball started rolling down the cliff, and all they could do was watch it go.

“Uh oh.”

“Oh dear.”

It then cut to see Aiden standing guard at his team's goal, with Ellie and Lake standing behind the goal.

Ellie was focusing on the challenge, but couldn't help but notice that Lake wasn't. She looked over to see where she was looking, and realised she was looking over at the girl sitting away by herself.

“I should go over and make sure she's okay.” Lake said quietly, but the concern in her voice was clear.

“Hold on, we're still in the middle of the challenge, and you're up after Aiden.” Ellie said, which Lake looked annoyed at this.

“She's probably hurt and shaken after what Riya just did to her! And you're telling me winning a challenge is more important than her wellbeing?” Lake asked, raising her voice, which made Ellie act defensive.

“Hey! I NEVER said that! You should definitely check on her afterwards, but right now you're our strongest defence. Plus, she's safe right now sitting away from…her. So for now, let's focus on winning.” 

Lake's annoyed expression changed into more of conflicted, as she looked between the challenge and the girl. 

But before she could say anything, they saw a yellow ball slam right into Aiden. It sent him skidding backwards a good bit. It looked like he was about to slide right through the goal, until…

“OWW!”

Aiden had managed to divert the ball just enough to where it slammed into the side post, unfortunately he was also slammed into the post, but the ball at least didn't go through.

“Um, a little help?” He looked back at the girls, as he was wedged between the ball and the post.

Ellie looked at Lake as she gestured towards the goal. Lake sighed as she went over to help Aiden, and get into defence position.

We then see Alec dragging a log and putting it in front of the Yellow goal.

"What are you doing?" Riya asked.

"We can use this log to deflect the balls. Especially if you insist on making Fiore a human shield for some reason." Alec glared.

"Hey It worked!" Riya snapped. 

“Cood pot vat vich en font ov et. Mayva har beg falkin aggo wel shtop et.” Fiore said, from where she was sitting, not even facing them. Riya just rolled her eyes at this.

Lake helped move the ball off Aiden, who breathed deeply to get the air back in his lungs.

She then looked back over at Fiore when hearing her talking, it was all disoriented and she noticed her still covering her face with her hands. …she couldn't take it anymore!

“That's it! I'm going over to her.” Lake said, with a serious tone. As she turned to walk over.

“Lake! Behind you!” Aiden called out from the side, but before Lake could turn around she was suddenly run over by a ball, which rolled right into their goal.

Lake groaned and rubbed her head as she got up onto her knees, then looking at the ball that ran over her her eyes went wide.

“What?” 

It was a cyan ball.

“What the hell!? Did our own team just score on us?” Aiden asked, very irritated as he looked up at their teammates at the top of the hill.

“What are they doing up there?” Ellie asked quietly, crossing her arms and also looking up at the top of the hill. Her friend and girlfriend just scored against them? Something wasn't right.

We then see Alec and Riya casually standing at their goal, as they then saw yet another Magenta ball rolling towards them.

“Seriously? This is the third ball she's sent at us. What's her damage?” Riya asked, annoyed.

"It's heading right at us! Let’s test this log!" Alec said as they ran behind their goal, and watched as the Magenta ball ran right into the log and bounced right off of it.

"Eureka!" Alec cheered, as he looked back at Fiore who wasn't even looking. This made the smile on his face drop.

The Cyan team looked over, slightly getting worried at seeing the log being a perfect block.

"Oh, no…It might come down to Magenta and us. Yellow’s doing too good! Plus Magenta has Ashley and Hunter." Aiden said.

"Should we also try the log strategy?" Ellie asked.

"Neither of us can carry a log,  and Lake is our best defender." Aiden said as Ellie groaned.

"Right…and we need to focus on our defense, so we can’t have her leave.”  Ellie said, frustrated.

They then watched as the last Yellow ball came rolling down towards magenta's goal. Which Hunter was easily able to block.

"Damn it!" Ellie said. They might be screwed.

"The score is now 2-2-1! Both Magenta and Cyan are tied for last, and with only two balls left to throw, yellow is basically already safe." Kristal smirked, as Trevor suddenly came up and whispered something in her ear.

“Oh? That's actually a really great idea, you two have been killing it recently." She smirked. 

"Alright, let's make this more interesting. Cyan and Magenta will have one defender, and the other team will target them, if both score or miss you both go to elimination, if one scores, their team is safe." Kristal grinned.

"What?!" Adien asked.

"So it's basically sudden death?!" Ally asked.

"Uh..... do we get to choose?" Hunter asked.

"Probably not." Ellie said, Yellow quietly watching the chaos unfold.

“Each team will select one person on the opposite team to be the defender, so choose wisely.” Kristal explained, as everyone's eyes went wide at this.

“Alright. Cyan, who will be Magenta's defender?” Kristal asked, as the cyan team started whispering to each other, before facing back towards Kristal. 

“Jake.” Ellie said, as Jake rolled his eyes at this.

“Great.” He said, very unenthusiastically.

“Alright then, and magenta, who is cyan’s defender?”

Magenta got into a team huddle, whispering amongst themselves, before looking back at Kristal.

“We're going with Aiden.” Ally said, as Aiden looked unimpressed about this.

“They obviously picked me cause I'm the physically weakest.” 

“But you are the only one of us who actually managed to stop a ball.” Lake said, patting his shoulder.

“Huh, that is true.” He said, smiling a little now.

"Alright then. Jake and Aiden get into position. Everybody else, stand behind the goals" Kristal said, as Ally, Hunter, Lake and Ellie walked away as Jake and Aiden glanced at the other nervously.

"So..... we're having a tie breaker between us...... huh." Jake laughed awkwardly, getting ready.

"Yeah....." Aiden nodded, just as awkward, also slowly getting ready.

"Hey, how likely are you to get out if you lose?" Jake asked.

"Uh..... could really happen.... and that scares me." Aiden laughed a little, missing how nervous this had made him as Jake now seemed to be lost in thought slightly at hearing this. 

Aiden then saw the Magenta ball rolling down the hill towards him.

"Come on Aiden! You got this!” Lake cheered.

"Win this!" Ellie added.

Aiden held his breath and winced a little as the ball slammed into him hard, once again making him slide backwards as he used all of his strength on the ball, just barely stopping before the goal as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Closer to victory!" Ellie cheered.

"Great job Aiden!" Lake cheered happily smiling.

"Alright, here's where we stand. If Jake stops the ball, both teams will eliminate someone, and if he fails, Magenta are the only ones that lose." Kristal smirked.

“You got this Jake!” Hunter cheered.

"There really isn't much point to do, I mean we lose either way?” Ally said annoyed, before noticing Hunter looking at her unamused.

“Uh, I mean yeah! You got this!" Ally cheered, while laughing nervously as Hunter rolled his eyes but couldn't help but smile a little.

As Jake got ready, he glanced over at Aiden again, his head getting clouded on the thought that Aiden might be in trouble if he lost.

But his team was at four players to Cyan's five. They couldn't lose now!

On the other hand, he remembered about not missing his chance. He couldn't let another moment pass him by.

The motel was far away, if he won now..... he groaned in frustration. He had to talk this out.

"I have to win..... but if I do....... Cyan will lose and....." Jake got cut off as the ball rolled right over him and into the goal!

Everyone froze as they saw the Magenta goal turn from two points to three.

"And with that, the final score is 3-2-1! Magenta, as the team with the most points, you lose!" Kristal announced. 

"Aw man Jake, we were so close! What happened?!" Ally asked, as she came running over to him, Hunter gently followed.

"I..... don't know. I thought I had it but..... something just clouded my head and next thing I knew, the ball ran me over." Jake sighed, rubbing his head.

"Well..... the elimination is definitely gonna be…complicated." Hunter sighed in defeat before chuckling.

"But..... I did have fun with you all." He quietly added, as Ally and Jake smiled at him.

Confessional: Jake

"Well crap..... this isn't good.....we're down to only four people on our team, and I've really started to like all of them...but now one has to go…that's definitely not what I wanted to happen. 

Confessional Change: Hunter

"Well...going into elimination tonight, there's two pairs. Me and Ally, and Jake and Ashley…so it looks like tie breaker number two is about to come my way..."

Confessional End

The defenders all started to make their ways up to the top of the cliff. We see Aiden and Ellie walking beside each other.

“I'm gonna be honest, I really didn't think you were gonna be able to stop it.” Ellie said to him, resisting the urge to laugh.

“Geez, thanks.” Aiden said, rolling his eyes unamused.

“Take it as a compliment, you performed better than most would've expected, probably even yourself.”

“I will certainly try and take that as a compliment.” Aiden said, still unamused but a small smile did appear on his face.

He then looked behind them and saw their teammate wasn't with them.

“Hey, where's Lake?” He asked, as they both started scanning around the area. Until Ellie spotted her quickly running in the opposite direction, and she knew exactly why.

“She's a little busy right now, she'll catch up in a sec.” She said calmly, as she continued walking up the hill, while Aiden looked confused about this, but followed her up the hill anyway.

Fiore was walking a bit behind everyone else, her hands still on her face as she was walking slowly, keeping her distance. But then she stopped when the tall German girl came running up to her.

“Fiore! Are you alright!?” Lake asked, as she stopped right in front of her, looking down with clear concern.

“O'm fone.” Fiore said, as she quickly tried walking past her, but Lake kneeled down and put out her hand to stop her.

“Here, let me see your face.” Lake said gently but with worry, as she was about to gently grab her wrists to see her face.

“I SHEAD O’M FONE!!! EEVE MA AONE!!!” Fiore screamed, shaking violently to get her hands off her.

Lake quickly pulled her hands back, her eyes going wide. Before she could say anything, the girl quickly ran past her without looking back.

Lake looked at her run past, eyes still wide from what just happened. She wanted to call out to her, but she didn’t for some reason and just watched her run up the hill.

She now looked much more concerned, not only because of what Riya did to her, but also she has never snapped at her like that before, she knew there was something very wrong.

The camera cut to the teams back at the top of the hill.

"Yellow Team, congrats on winning the challenge! Your reward is a pizza party with soda waiting back at camp! There’s enough to feed you for three days! Or twenty minutes, seeing you lot." Kristal chuckled.

"Thank God! I’ve been starving for days!" Grett said, letting out a sigh and rubbing her belly at hearing what the reward was.

"I guess it's better than nothing." Riya said, not looking very impressed while checking her nails. 

Fiore just glared at her, but then winced slightly in pain, which Alec who was looking over at her noticed. Then he noticed something else that made his eyes suddenly go wide.

"Team Magenta, what can I say? Good thing you’re not Tipiskaw’s soccer team! I'll see you tonight at the elimination." Kristal said, as the Magenta team had different reactions. Ally and Ashley nervous, Jake was looking down, and Hunter was trying to think on how to go at this.

As Kristal was about to send them off, a voice interrupted her.

"Uh Kristal?"

Kristal blinked as she turned to look at Alec, as everyone was looking over at the yellow team now.

"Yeah?" She asked.

"We may need help over here." He said, mildly panicked as he gestured to Fiore.

"Oo! Wv dan't! O shed U'm fone!" Fiore said angrily, still covering up her face.

As Kristal came over, her eyes went wide at what she saw. Everyone else looked over, also wide eyed. There was blood, just dripping off her chin.

“Oh my god!” Kristal cried out, as she quickly kneeled down in front of her. Some of the cyan team started to approach, looking concerned, while magenta stayed on their mat but were still looking over.

“Here, show me your face.” Kristal ordered, trying not to sound panicked. Fiore looked defensive, and slowly backed away.

“Nov, O’m fine! O shed O'm fone!” She said, continuing to back away until she bumped into Grett's legs, as she was standing behind her.

She was about to run away, but Grett suddenly grabbed her wrists and yanked them above her head, revealing her face. Everybody looked horrified and even a few gasps were heard.

They saw her nose was crooked now, blood just gushing out, along with a lot also coming out of her mouth, and it was now starting to drip off her chin. The entire bottom half of her face was now dyed dark crimson.

“Oh Jesus! Somebody call Marcus! We have a medical emergency!” Kristal called out, as Fiore broke out of Grett's hold.

"No we don't! I already said I'm fine! I just want to go lie down and be done with this shitty chall-Ugh!." Fiore was saying, before suddenly feeling a surge of pain in her mouth.

All of a sudden she spat a tooth out into her hand, blood shooting out of her mouth in the process, a few drops even splattered onto Kristal’s face.

Kristal shut her eyes and wiped some of it off her face, before looking down and seeing a bloody tooth in the girl's hand, and even more blood was coming out of her mouth now.

Everyone looked even more shocked at seeing that.

"Did she just spit out a tooth!?" Gabby asked, a little overdramatically, though it did seem appropriate at this moment.

Fiore held the bloody tooth up to her face between her figures, before nonchalantly flicking it away as it landed somewhere in the grass in front of Magenta's mat.

“Did she just throw her tooth away!?” Ashley asked shocked, looking at where it looked like it had landed.

"I have no use for it anymore, now that it's out." Fiore said as everyone was baffled at her trying to write off that pain.

Riya was looking really anxious at this moment. She was really starting to regret what she had done.

“Right, you need to come to the staff tent immediately to get checked up.” Kristal said, looking at her very seriously now.

“I don't need to be checked up! I said I…I'm f…fi…” Fiore was arguing back, but then she started to look woozy. She was wobbling on her feet and her face was turning white…and then she suddenly fell backwards.

Alec immediately dropped down and caught her head before it hit the ground. At that moment, everyone had gathered in closer, including the other teams. 

“Fiore!” Alec said, mildly panicking as he gently shook her. He saw her eyes had rolled into the back of her head, and she was unresponsive

Kristal froze when she saw this, she shook her head and quickly backed away.

“Where is Marcus!?" She called out, trying and failing to remain calm. She then saw him and Nina quickly coming up the hill in their white medical outfits.

“Hurry Marcus!” She called down, as he quickly ran past her and over to the group huddled around Fiore.

“Alright everybody, step aside and make some room.” Marcus announced, but they were all still too distracted to even notice him.

“Wee-woo wee-woo, out of the way dumbasess! Doctor on call here!” Nina cried out, as everyone started to back away from Fiore, except for Alec who was still holding up her head.

Marcus walked over, kneeling in front of Fiore who still looked unconscious.

“Fiore! Little one! Can you hear me?” Marcus asked, gently shaking her. Until her eyes suddenly snapped back to normal as she shook her head.

“Ugh…w-what happened?” She asked groggily, trying to make scenes of her surroundings.

“You passed out little one, most likely from light headedness caused by blood loss.” Marcus explained, as he took a closer look at her.

"Open up, let me see how bad it looks."

“No, I'm fine." Fiore said, as she sat up, trying to not get more pity.

"Little one, your whole face is bleeding, your nose looks broken, you just spat out a tooth and just fainted. You are not fine, and I can't in all good conscience let you continue in this game if I can't make sure you really are fine." He said as she groaned.

"Whatever." She said, crossing her arms as she slowly opened her mouth.

Marcus slipped a glove on, gently looking inside and saw that her front teeth as well as her nose were gacked up.

At her wincing slightly at her top two teeth being poked gently, Marcus paused before nodding, seeing where she lost a tooth.

"Well Marcus, what do you think?" Kristal asked as Marcus looked at her.

"I.... need to take her back to the tent for a better look. It's hard to tell without equipment." Marcus said.

"I don't want help. I'll just walk this shit off like I always do.” Fiore hissed, as Kristal knelt down again, making the girl pause.

"You're bleeding, and you're on my show. I'm not like Trevor or Derek. You either have to let him make sure nothing's really wrong, or you'll have to be medically evacuated from the game." Kristal gently said, as Fiore pouted before glancing down at her hands to see they were covered in lots of blood, and the pain in her mouth was now getting worse.

"Fine." She said as Kristal nodded, and Marcus took her hand as she followed him to the staff tent. Kristal then addressed the others.

"Alright, that was a pretty intense scene. But the game continues, everybody head back to your respective camps. Magenta, I'll see you tonight at elimination.” Kristal said, but then she looked over to the side with a raised eyebrow at what she saw.

Ashley was bent over seemingly looking on the ground for something, before reaching down and picking up the bloody tooth Fiore had flicked about with two fingers. Kristal then walked over to her and held her hand out.

“Here, I'll take that.” Kristal said, as Ashley placed it in her palm and Kristal pocketed it, as she walked back, following after Marcus and Fiore.

Everyone was either watching Fiore with worry, or glancing over at Riya. She saw the serious glares she got from Alec..... and most of Cyan......

They had all seen what she had done to Fiore, using her as a shield.

She looked very anxious at all the glaring, but she noticed the one glaring at her with the most rage was Lake. 

Confessional: Lake

“How could Riya do that! She hurt a little girl and made her bleed just to win a challenge!? This is nearly as bad as what she did to Aiden in the finale! Das ist der letzte Tropfem, der das Fass zum Überlaufen bringt! Für Rosa, Aiden und jetzt Fiore. Damit kommst du nicht durch, SCHLAMPE!!!

Confessional Change: Riya

“I was only trying to stop the ball! I didn't mean for her to get hurt, especially not that badly. Now I'm in serious shit, not only were Alec and Grett giving me the death glare, but so was nearly everyone on the other teams, especially Lake, and now I know she'll want my head. My only goal now is getting the whole yellow team to merge, so then I'll be needed for them to have the numbers. I still have my idol, but I need to hold it as long as possible, or else I'm in an even worse spot come merge......... WHY am I focused on that! I just hurt a child! The thing you dind't want to do..... you promised Connor you..... wouldn't..... is this who I am inside?"

It cut to the Magenta camp as the team were walking back in, tension not super thick, but it was clear there was gonna be some arguing on the vote tonight.

Considering it was a couple and two close friends left, it was clear a tie breaker was most likely gonna happen.

The only thing either pair could possibly do was find a way of splitting up the other pair, but this was very unlikely to happen. This made everyone more on edge as they sat around the campfire, trading glances, knowing they had to at least talk it out.

Better than fighting for no reason at the elimination later tonight.

"So.... I think we all already know it's gonna be a two-two vote right?" Hunter quietly asked, as he looked around.

"Yeah.... at this point, thinking it's not would be mighty foolish of us." Ashley agreed.

"Well.... should we make an argument for why we think we should stay.... or throw out someone we think shouldn't?" Jake asked, looking conflicted on saying anyone's name.

At seeing some nods, he thought before nodding, looking right at Hunter as his eyes went wider at seeing this glazed look.

"Hunter, you are the strongest one here out of all of us, and while you going might weaken us in challenges, it would also be getting a merge threat out.” Jake said, as Hunter stayed calm.

He wanted a calm environment. So he kept a calm reaction as he looked over at Ashley, who gently nodded as she listened.

"Ash.....you're just as much of a strong threat in challenges as me. But unlike me,you're a major social threat....I feel you being the target would make sense, as I feel we've both been equally good in challenges, but your natural social skills makes you a much bigger threat than me at merge." Hunter said, Ashley nodding gently at this.

“If you weren't trying to throw me under the bus right now, I'd say that was really sweet.” Ashley joked, making Hunter smile sheepishly.

She then looked over to Ally, a look of guilt on her face, but she knew she had to do this.

“Ally, I'm kinda gonna go with the opposite approach with you. I think you're the weakest in challenges, so I feel you'll be least helpful with helping us get to merge, and because you're not as threatening in the challenges, you could easily slip under the radar, and I know you're smart enough to get yourself to the very end.” Ashley said, as Ally looked surprised and a little upset.

She wasn't expecting Ashley to give as strong of an argument as that, and it now made her feel much more anxious about her chances tonight. It probably all depended on what she said next.

"I'd like to counter that, if that's the route we're going now. I do want to throw it out.... Jake is why we lost..... and I know I missed a ball too, but he failed twice, including on the winning goal, because he was distracted. If you're basing this on who will help us in challenges, then I think I will deliver over him at least.” Ally said, completing this circle of polite shit throwing.

After that, everyone remained silent for a few minutes, before Jake finally spoke up.

"No matter what..... I hope we can agree not to let this become an aftermath of anger." Jake said.

“Absolutely not, we all know it's just a game, and we're all gonna stay friends after this! …did that sound cheesy?” Hunter asked, awkwardly rubbing the back of his head.

“It sounded very cheesy…I loved it.” Ally smiled.

“And darn tooting, you're right about that! I can just tell that we'll all be friends for a darn long time!” Ashley cheered, standing up. Making everyone smile.

Despite this positive energy, everyone knew there was no denying the inevitable of what was happening tonight.

A tie breaker.

Confessional: Ally

"I..... made my case....I don't know if I'll be in a tie breaker or not…or if I can even win. But I want to prove that I deserve to be here! To prove all my haters wrong! ......its game on."

Confessional Change: Hunter

"If it's a tie breaker.... yeah, I could most likely win. But…would Ally? I still have my idol, I could just play it on her and possibly save us both…but, wouldn't that mean I don't have any confidence in her to win? It could mean I also wasted the idol for us that we could use later. …I don't know what's best for us…”

Confessional Change: Jake

"I really dropped the ball today..... pun unintended and...... I'm probably gonna pay the price for it.... but I'm following what my heart says."

Confessional Change: Ashley

"Well.... I have to consider the vote tonight.......and prepare for the worst case scenario. No matter what happens tonight..... someone's gonna be coming back here upset."

Confessional End

It cut to the Magenta team banner before cutting to the four players sitting on their logs as Kristal smirked at them.

"Man. Three losses before Cyan lost twice. That's gotta sting a lot." Kristal smirked as the Magenta team sent glances at each other.

Ashley was looking more and more nervous at everyone.

Ally looked calm, but inside was mentally worried about the vote.

Hunter was tapping his knee gently, the silence sending a chill down his spine.

Jake winced as he paused. Knowing the vote tonight was gonna be just an overall mess.

"Alright. Enough prolonging this. Get voting."

Jake wrote his vote down, slight fear in his gaze.

Hunter scribbled a name down, lost in thought about if this was the best decision, before nodding. It was.

Ally wrote her vote down, a small smirk on her face, but she at least seemed hesitant before going with it, she was over thinking this for a reason.

As Ashley wrote her vote, she sighed weakly. Knowing she didn't have a choice but to go with this.

A few minutes later

"Alright. You've all voted, once the votes are read, it's final, and the most voted camper must leave. If you have a hidden idol and want to use it, now's the time." Kristal smiled.

Hunter glanced at Ally, who nodded at him with a smile as he nodded back, not pulling out his idol. He was gonna be confident in his abilities if he has too. 

"Alright. First vote........ Ally."

Ally froze at this, looking at Kristal in surprise.

"Oh no." Hunter mumbled, realizing how bad this looked now.

"Jake."

Jake leaned forward the tension getting to him upon hearing this.

"Jake. That's One vote Ally. Two Votes Jake. One vote left." Kristal said, pulling out the last slip of paper.

Jake looked extremely anxious as he leaned forward, hands together in a prayer-like motion as Ashley placed a hand on his shoulder, giving him a reassuring smile.”

Ally was biting on her lip, looking like a nervous wreck, but Hunter held her hand and also gave her a reassuring smile, which made her feel calmer as she gave him a small smile.

"Sixth person voted out of Disventure Camp...."

Hunter mentally cursed himself, mistakes were made, mistakes were so made.

Ashley continued not saying anything as she looked at everyone else, she already knew what was gonna happen.

Ally rocked gently, her nerves were shooting up as Kristal paused.

Jake was gently mumbling a prayer that he wasn't out, not looking up as he sighed gently, he wasn't ready!

"No one! Ally is our last vote! That's two votes Ally, Two votes Jake. That makes this a tie. So we must have a tie breaker to decide who's out." Kristal smirked, holding up the second vote for Ally.

Everyone looked extremely anxious, they all knew this was going to happen, but now that it was actually happening made the nerves spike. 

"Alright. Tie breaker time! Bring out the rope!" Kristal called out, as Derek and Trevor came out dragging a large rope with them, and dropping it on the ground in front of the team. They all looked down at it confused, before looking up at Kristal.

“Are we gonna do jump rope?” Jake asked.

“What are you people, five? The tie breaker is tug-of-war.” Kristal said.

“Yeah, cause that's not for children at all.” Ally said, rolling her eyes, as Kristal looked at her unamused.

"Now..... because I want drama..... Hunter, Ashley, you two will be a part of this too. You'll be competing in pairs." Kristal said, as Hunter and Ally smiled at each other while holding hands, and Ashley wrapped an arm around Jake, pulling him into a tight side hug as they also smiled.

“We're doing this school yard style, girls against boys!” Kristal said, grinning at seeing their smiles drop.

"What!" Hunter said.

"That's not cool." Ashley crossed her arms, Kristal gently shrugging.

"We have a time limit, so let's get ready to play!" Kristal said.

"Yay." Jake dryly said as Ally scowled.

It cut to show everyone holding onto the rope. Jake on one side with Hunter behind him, and Ally on the other side with Ashley behind her.

"Alright. Tie breaker starts....... now!" Kristal cried out.

Jake and Ally started pulling on the rope as hard as they could, wanting to stay in, but it was obvious right away Ashley and Hunter weren't really trying at all, clearly not wanting to get their friend/partner out.

Ally and Jake smiled at the other's partner at noticing this as they kept trying, but with Ashley and Hunter not moving or pulling, it was basically a stale mate unless one let go of the rope. Which wasn't gonna happen.

Seeing neither of them trying, Kristal scowled a little.

"Okay. Let's up the ante. The partner of the winning player wins immunity for their next elimination. And the loser....won't get to vote at their next elimination." Kristal said, which made Ashley and Hunter immediately look at her with wide eyes.

They both looked conflicted as they each looked at their partner across from them. Ally and Jake both looked at them also looking conflicted. But then they both smiled and nodded at their respective partners.

Ashley and Hunter then looked at each other, and grinned with confidence as they suddenly started pulling much harder, surprising Jake and Ally at the sudden change in force, but they quickly recollected themselves as they also pulled harder.

"Ooh! Now it's getting spicy! Who'll win! This? The boys or the girls?" Kristal asked dramatically, as Jake and Hunter started gaining some ground. Before they could take advantage, Ally and Ashley pulled it right back, making it still a neck and neck fight, tension was getting thicker.

Ashley then suddenly did a big tug, which sent the guy skidding forward a good bit, stunning them for a second before they were able to get grip again and stopped, but they were right on the line now.

“The girls have the upper ground! It looks like it might be over for Jake.” Kristal said.

The guys kept holding their ground as the girls tried finishing them off. Hunter then looked up at Ally who smirked at him, she still wanted him to try his hardest.

Ashley pulled even harder, making them slide more and Jake winced in strain.

“Jake, I think I have an idea.” Hunter said, struggling with holding his ground.

"If you have an idea.... do it, I trust you." Jake said as Hunter sighed.

Hunter then leaned forward and whispered something to him, and Jake looked back at him confused for a second, but nodded anyway.

They then both leaned backwards, no longer pulling on the rope and just hanging off it. The girls kept pulling their hardest, but the guys weren't moving, just leaning back with all their weight.

After a few minutes of this, Jake noticed the girls were starting to get tired. This was their chance.

“NOW!!!” 

The guys suddenly pulled as hard they possibly could, so hard it caught the girls so off guard they fell forward onto the ground.

“What is tarnation!?” Ashley cried out, not realizing she had let go of the rope as the guys were now dragging Ally who was still holding onto the rope, but was also still flat on the ground. They continued to pull until they pulled her over the line.

"And Jake and Hunter win, meaning Ally is out!" Kristal said, as Ally sighed gently in defeat, not seeing Hunter look down sadly.

"Sorry Ally....." Jake said, as he walked over and offered his hand to her which she accepted as he helped her up, as she dusted herself off.

"One of us had to lose....but after this, you better not get eliminated next." Ally said as Jake chuckled.

"Hopefully I don't." Jake said, as Ally glanced at Ashley.

"Nice blindside." She said, as she and Ashley fistbumped.

"Hope we can still be friends after this." Ashley said.

"Of course!" Ally laughed, as she then looked over at Hunter who was looking on the ground. She walked over to him and held both his hands in hers.

“Hey, don't feel bad about this, any of this. I'm happy with what I've done with you here.” As she hugged him tightly, as he gently hugged back, and stayed like that for about a minute.

“You know, I would say boys rule and girls drool, but if that were true then I wouldn't want to do this.” Hunter said, as he broke from the hug and cupped her face before kissing her deeply, which she returned.

Ashley and Jake smiled at the scene, but Kristal was starting to get impatient at this point.

“Alright love birds, break it up. Ally, it's time for you to go.”

"Walk me out?" She smiled as Hunter nodded.

"Of course." 

They both made their way out to the bus stop, leaving Ashley and Jake by themselves.

“So…I guess that settles it then.” Jake said, smiling at her, as Ashley raised an eyebrow at him.

“What?” She asked curiously.

“Boy rule and girls drool.” He laughed, making Ashley surprised. But then a mischievous smirk came onto her face, before suddenly pulling him into a headlock and giving him a noogie.

“Ow ow ow, hey!” Jake said in discomfort, but a few laughs came out with his small cries of pain.

“You wanna say that again, tough guy?” Ashley jokingly asked, as they both laughed.

As they got to the bus stop, Hunter sighed as he looked down, running his hands through his hair, annoyed that he couldn't do more to help Ally out with the elimination, and being the reason she lost!

"I'm sorry babe..... if only I-" He started before she kissed him on the cheek suddenly.

Upon hearing a gagging sound, they turned to see Yul fake gagging….. Right they forgot he didn’t go to the motel yet.

“Just when I thought the torture was enough.” He snarked, but both chose to ignore him.

"Don't blame yourself you dolt. We didn't know it would happen.... .... and if I won...... one of us would be leaving next.....  Because Ashley would have immunity..... at least you have a chance next time you're up for elimination. And with that idol, you're good for at least two eliminations. You got this Hunter. That being said...... just please do me a favor." Ally smiled as Hunter nodded.

"A.....anything."

"Tell Tess I'm sorry our time together was so short lived, but I want you both to play hard. And to kick total butt." Ally smiled as Hunter chuckled gently.

"Done." He said as she smiled, hugging him, which he returned, full of pain.

"I love you." Hunter said.

"I love you too." Ally mumbled as they looked at each other's eyes. Then the bus pulled up, honking, making them both jump then laugh.

"You got this." She kissed his cheek again, before shaking her head and kissing him right on the lips.

“Ugh, get a room.” Yul groaned disgustedly, as he stood and strutted into the bus. The couple just watched him unamused.

“Ugh, I have to share a bus ride with him. I don't think I'll survive.” She groaned dramatically, making Hunter laugh.

“You're stronger than you think.” He smiled, nudging her shoulder, as she giggled.

She walked away and got onto the bus, giving him one last wave before it drove off, as Hunter sadly watched as the bus drove off.

Confessional: Jake

"Oh my god! That was a close one! I thought I was about to be done for..... but now it's me, Ash and Hunter....... that doesn't mean the next elimination will be easy..... but I need to try harder than I have been, or we're in trouble."

Confessional Change: Hunter (pulling out the idol)

"I....... had the idol..... and I..... could have saved Ally..... if only I knew it was her being targeted and not me.... I could have done something.... I made a mistake..... and after how the challenge went for us.... damnit why do I always choose wrong."

Confessional End

It cut to Ally at the motel as she sighed at the camera.

She was retying her ponytail as she was letting all the nerves in her out as she looked up at the camera, knowing she had to read the script Oliver hand handed her.

As she shook her head, she said the first words on her mind.

"Man.... that's depressing that it was over like that....."

"You gonna be okay to do this Ally?" Oliver asked as the gamer nodded, gently showing a smile.

"Yeah. I'll be fine.... Can't be a next level pro if I'm a salty bitch right?" She laughed, before clearing her throat. "Thank you for watching this episode of Disventure Camp, I'd like to thank the supporters."

"Godjacob95" Who asked. "Is there any move you would take back if given the chance, or do you stand by the way you played this season even with this outcome?” I could be salty and say not getting Jake or Ashley out right away. But that's just me being salty...... I could say getting James out but he was never voting for Jake. So my biggest move I would take back would be not finding that idol sooner. If Hunter and I found it faster, we would have been fine tonight. But that's how it plays out..... and I stand by my choice. I'm happy with how I played the game and wouldn't take it back at all. And...... I got to clear up the issues. I can cheer them both on from the motel."

"Thank you all for watching, comment for feedback, like and kudos for this, and if you want, you can get greetings from us. We'll answer almost anything you want. Thank you for reading. And we'll see you next time."

As Ally stood up, she paused, before grinning a little excited.

"I hope this means I can play some kind of electronics here. Last season they did!" She cheered as she glanced at the motel, happily walking towards it.

(Post credit scene)

It showed the yellow camp late at night with the team quietly sitting around the fire, before seeing something that made them all quickly look up in surprise.

“Oliver? Why are you here?” Alec asked, as Oliver walked up to them.

“Please tell me Fiore isn’t being taken out.” Grett said, quickly standing up with a pleading look on her face. Alec also stood up in anticipation, while Riya stayed seated and quiet.

"We can't confirm that yet. She needed a deeper exam into her teeth issue and Marcus refused to let her continue in the game otherwise."

“How bad is it?” Alec asked.

“A filling for the missing tooth, and making sure no other damage was done with all that blood. Marcus got worried at her fainting.” Oliver said.

“But she’ll be alright, right?” Grett asked.

"We're not sure, and her continuation in the game is uncertain. She didn’t even want to go to a dentist.” Oliver explained.

Grett and Alec both had very concerned expressions, as Riya just kept a straight face.

“Just wanted to give you all an update. Night.” Oliver said as he walked off. 

Alec and Grett both looked really upset, and decided to go inside the tent. Riya noticed them both glare at her as they walked past, as she ignored it.

Not like it was anything serious….. right?
