Episode 1
"It's time."
Two silhouetted figures stand in a dimly lit room in front of several computer screens spread on to a curved wall. Other technological devices, large and small, are seated around the room. Camera footage of contestants that were chosen and had accepted the invitation are shown on the computer screens; they ride a large ship to the location of this season's ABO Survivor competition.
"Jiffy, remember your alias for the reality game show competition in your own world. You must never let anyone know of your true identity."
"Understood," Jiffy Globestar knowingly replied. The dark-and-short-haired human-looking figure who stands five feet and ten inches turns away from the computer screens and heads to a teleportation device. Globestar is known in another reality for hosting a similar reality game show competition, but he goes by a well-known alias in that reality. He teleports away in a blinding, flashing light very quickly.
"Hopefully I built that robot with enough ability to keep a secret," the other silhouetted figure quietly said. "Oh well. I trust him enough. I think the bigger problem is that the other humans in that world wouldn't trust a sentient robot like him. Best to keep the truth hidden for his sake."
The silhouetted figure slowly removes a hood covering his head.
"As for my world, I think it's best if I tell the truth myself. I think it's time that the '
Enigmatic Host' walked into the sunset and his real identity be revealed."
The silhouetted figure turns around and walks to the teleportation device to go and greet the sixteen contestants in this season's competition. After waiting a few seconds, he quickly disappears in a blinding, flashing light. The computers manually turn themselves off, and the room is left dark and silent.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A view of the African continent is shown, followed shortly by the large ship with the contestants on it. Half have taken this journey before (a quarter more than once) and half have yet to experience this journey for themselves. What awaits them all, however, is a new wilderness with a familiar set of rules. Through challenges, alliances, votes, and strategy, only one of the contestants will be crowned the Sole Survivor of ABO Survivor III.
The contestants arrive on a shore of Africa, the location for ABO Survivor III. A man around the age of 40 wearing a dark suit awaits them.
"Welcome to Africa, and welcome to ABO Survivor III!"
The contestants greet the host. The eight returning contestants are welcomed back by the man in the dark suit.
"This will be your home for the next thirty-nine days. Go ahead and choose a bandana to determine which tribe you will be put in to."
The contestants reach into a small barrel to grab a bandana. The contestants check their bandanas. Half of the bandanas are orange, and half are yellow.
"Contestants with
orange bandanas are part of the
Atlas Tribe, and contestants with the
yellow bandanas are part of the
Livian Tribe."
The sixteen contestants separate themselves into the two tribes that they will start with.

"Got your tribes? Alright, go ahead and find your camps.
Atlas Tribe goes down the left path, and
Livian Tribe goes down the right path."
Just as they start to walk towards their camp, the host stops them for one last message.
"Some of you have known me as the
Enigmatic Host in past seasons. Well, I'd like to shed that identity for this season of ABO Survivor and future seasons of this show.
My true name is
Dr. Adam Versinius, but you guys can call me
Adam.
Sorry to keep you waiting. Now, you can go to your respective camps."
The contestants greet Adam once more and do, in fact, head to their camps to prepare for the long competition ahead.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In both tribes, the contestants get to know each other and tell their own stories about their lives outside of ABO Survivor and what brought them into this competition. Having either been part of this competition before or having seen it on TV before, the contestants know to quickly set up camp with the supplies that they have and also to quickly form alliances.
The first alliances of the game are as follows:

A full day passes, and on the next day, Adam summons everyone to a specific meeting spot, where the first immunity challenge will take place.
"Today, there is no reward challenge, but you will earn a reward for winning this immunity challenge. You must compete for immunity to ensure that your tribe does not go to tribal council, where one contestant will be voted out of the competition by his or her own tribe members.
Here are the rules for the first immunity challenge..."

"Atlas Tribe wins the first immunity challenge!" exclaims Adam. The winning tribe takes their reward and as soon as nightfall arrives, they use one of their fifty matches to make a fire.
Two members of the Atlas Tribe also begin to form a tight friendship.

click for spoilerOne more day passes, and the Livian Tribe prepares for the first tribal council by discussing who should go first. Many good debates are held.
click for spoilerAs nightfall arrives, one contestant's journey must now come to an end. The Livian Tribe heads to tribal council, a semi-large room with an African hut look to it. The eight contestants find their seats.
"I hope you thought this vote over," explains Adam. "You need to be sure that whomever you vote out tonight will not end up having been a vital part of your tribe's success."
click for spoilerDiscussion of the previous three days takes place between Adam and the eight contestants of the Livian Tribe.
"Without further ado, it's time to cast your votes."
The eight contestants each head individually to a small room with a teleporter in front of them. Their votes will go to a pot held by Adam, who will read the votes out.
The contestants make their votes, then return to their seat.
"The contestant with the most votes will immediately be out of the competition. I'll read the votes."

"Uran-chama, I'm sorry. Your tribe has spoken."
For the second season in a row, Uran-chama is voted out first. She leaves disheartened, but still wishes her seven remaining tribe members good luck.
Here are the votes:

"Soon, you will see whether this decision helps or harms your tribe going forward," says Adam. "Grab your belongings and head back to your camp. Good night."

With fifteen contestants remaining, ABO Survivor III is just getting underway.
