Me- walks in Uhh…hey guys. So, here's another episode.
Norm- Aren't you even going to explain why the heck you haven't even tried to write the next episode.
Me- I'll explain at the end. In the meantime, enjoy episode 4 of The Mole: WWE addition.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Group winnings so far: 60,000
The day after the last ceremony, we see the group crestfallen eating Breakfast in the hotel. All of them so hurt from last night, not knowing what to say. Well, not all of them.
"I hope those two rot" Said Victoria for what felt like the millionth time.
"They each made their own decisions for their own reasons, just get over and lets move on." Cena said not even taking his eyes off of his eggs and bacon.
"Oh yeah, you sure know what it means to take away group money for personal gain" Mickie brought up.
"Get off his case Mickie, he's said that he's sorry and I for one believe him" came Orton in defense.
"Hey, guys! Something's coming." Said Paul as a waitress brought a videotape on a silver platter with the note saying 'Only two of you can watch this'
Edge being nearest and first to read the note, grabbed the tape before anyone could say a word more, "I'm not leaving the fate of my money with two of you, I'm in on this game, whoever else wants to watch this meet me in my room." And with that, Edge was gone.
Paul then grabs the note and read it aloud to a now furious group all of whom lets out phrases involving 4 letter words.
Mickie was the first to regain composer, "Well I don't think we have a choice that Edge will be involved in this one, lets just vote for who goes with him. I vote Paul."
The group in general agreed for Paul to join Edge, with the exception of Victoria who campaigned for herself fruitlessly. And so Paul joined Edge in his hotel room who pushed play as Paul walked in the room. Suddenly, Matt Striker's face comes into view.
"All right you two listen up because I'm only going to say this once. The two of you are going to make the travel plans for the next location on our journey, St. Petersburg, Russia. And by travel plans, I mean you two have to find all of the plane tickets. Like all plane tickets they can be found at the airport. When you leave the room someone will hand you 10 pictures showing locations of 10 tickets. If you get 6 tickets, you add 50,000 to the pot. And to motivate you a little more, if you find the other four, that amount will be doubled. But to get the money, all six of you will have to be at the specified gate in time. You will have 3 hours from the time you get them. Don't worry about the other four. They will be watching a video for their own assignment as we speak. You're car is waiting outside the hotel to take you to the airport, have fun, and hopefully I will be seeing you. Dosvidaniya, that's Russian for goodbye for those uneducated one's watching this."
Meanwhile the other group have been greeted by the host in person giving information on there own game.
"You know what? I truly feel sorry for you people, 4 episodes in and you only have 60,000. I mean, even I who know of your many faults first hand didn't think that you would have screwed up this much." As Striker takes his time to have a laugh, knuckle cracking can be heard from the contestants. "So I'm going to give you guys a money making challenge that even a child can pass. Well that is unless the mole is amongst you. The 4 of you will be partaking in a game of tee ball."
"What's the catch Striker." Victory asks with venom in her tone.
"Well if you want to find out, I suggest you all get in the van out front."
Back with the ticket group, we see Edge and Paul in a van on the road having an interesting discussion.
"All right kid listen up," Edge begins, "I like you, I see a lot of potential, I think with a little push in the right direction you can go far in this game. So I say, you and me team up."
"A coalition?"
"Yeah, a coalition, a double team, whatever you want to call it. After this game, we'll split up and give out details on the other contestants, we put our heads together and we make it to the final two."
"Well I can't say that I like you or your tactics," Paul hesitates, "but I agree, this is nearly impossible to win without info and we can provide that. You got a deal."
"Good move kid. Just remember to keep this quiet."
"Of coarse" Paul responds and the two shake hands as they reach the airport.
Our other group after a short drive, are brought blindfolded into the middle of a field where they wait for further instructions.
"All right guys, remove your blindfolds." Matt Striker calls out.
As they remove them, sounds of laughter and excitement are all that can be heard.
"Oh snap man, we're in the Phillies ballpark." Cena exclaims
"That would be Citizen Bank Ballpark to be exact." Matt explained, "and now I present to you your challenge."
And with that, two large figures stepped up from the Phillies dugout.
"Allow me to introduce you to former MVP Ryan Howard and veteran pitcher Jamie Moyer, your challenge will be to either strike out Mr. Howard or hit a baseball into the outfield off of Mr. Moyer without striking out. If you succeed at either you will add 4,000 to the pot. You each individually chose which you want to do, you have one minute to decide starting now."
"Ok guys, I think it would be easier for all of us to try to get a hit off of Moyer, I don't think any of us could strike out Howard." Orton exclaimed
"To be honest I think I would do better throwing a ball than swinging a bat, so I'll go with that one." Mickie declares to the group.
"Times up guys what are your choices?"
"The boys and I are going to go to bat while Mickie wants to handle the balls." Victoria said with her trademark sneer.
And so John is the first to go up to bat. His first pitch was a swing and a miss, the second he hit the ball high and deep, but foul. But on his third swing he manage to hit a grounder that just managed to roll into the outfield adding 4000 to the pot.
Up next is Randy and on the first swing knocks the ball high and far for another 4000.
Next Victoria comes to bat. First two balls are grounders that roll foul before making it to the outfield.
"Come on Victoria, certainly you can swing a stick better than that. I mean you've had so much experience," Mickie called out to an already visibly frustrated Victoria.
And with that the third pitch came and Victoria swung missing by a mile.
"All right girls calm down," Cena exclaimed as he and Randy tried to keep the two diva's from killing each other, "What's done is done."
"Yeah," grunted Randy while recovering from a kick in the shin from Victoria, "Mickie, just start pitching so we can get this over with."
Mickie managed to keep her cool long enough to go out to the mound without further altercations with Victoria. Mickie picked up a ball and glove provided for her and throws her first pitch which goes over the plate with decent speed and Ryan Howard lets the ball pass for the first strike. The second pitch is also over the plate, but Ryan blasts it into the stands foul. And the third pitch goes over the plate without any challenge from Howard for strike three.
The boys meet Mickie at the mound to celebrate while Victoria angrily approached Ryan.
"You let her strike you out! That's not part of the challenge." Victoria accused
"Hey, it's just a game, plus it got you some more money, why are you complaining?"
Back with Edge and London they are sitting at there gate with 6 tickets that they have found just chatting away.
"See," said Paul, "I told you it was a good idea for us to not split up to look for the tickets. There's no reason to split up at all, it's not like 5 were going to be on one half and 5 on the other side."
"Whatever kid," Edge scoffed "So, who do you think is the mole?"
"I don't know, I can make an argument for everyone, you included."
"Don't be naive, I have given one hundred percent in every task, I think the same about you, that's why I approached you about this deal."
"All right, we'll talk later tonight." Paul replies as the he saw there teammates and Striker approach.
"Greetings lackeys," Matt said, "did you accomplish your task?"
"6 tickets just like you commanded chump stain." Edge says handing over the prize.
"Just 6? You still have about twenty minutes left to look for the extra ones."
"No thanks, were good." Edge replies lying back in his chair.
"All right then, everyone, before we get on the plane, we've set aside an area for each of you to record your video diaries then you'll take The Quiz."
The Quiz:
Is the Mole male or female?
Did the poll participate in the Ticket or Baseball game today?
Did the Mole succeed in the task?
Does the Mole dyed his/her hair regularly?
How tall is the Mole?
Has the Mole ever been in a cage match?
Has the Mole ever been in a main event?
How much has the mole added to the pot?
Has the Mole been fined yet?
Who is The Mole?
Video Diaries:
Edge- I've teamed up with the London kid since I know he isn't the mole and I can feed him bad info to get him kicked out and leave one less threat for me.
Victoria- The slut Mickie needs to go home this week, I won't care about this game until she is out of here.
Mickie- Every single person won today except Victoria, seems pretty mole like to me.
Cena- Today we had a great day, but it's time to sit back and figure out who the mole is. Until he proves he's a team player I have to believe Edge is it.
Paul- I really believe that Edge is being truthful about not being the mole, I've got to completely change my target. But I do think Edge and I will make a great team, nobody suspects it. I wasn't with the other group so I really think I'm at a disadvantage.
Randy- Today was a great day, but nobody did anything to really get me to change my current suspicions.
As the groups is preparing to get on the plane with there tickets Striker stops them at the gate. "Now I don't know if you noticed, but we only have 6 tickets, and of coarse I'm going to need one, so I think I'll just eliminate one of you now, ok? Good. Before we start, John, do you want to use your Money in the Bank Exemption?"
John remained in thought for a full thirty seconds before shaking his head no.
And with that Matt begins entering names into the computer, John first: Green. Then Paul: Again green. But the dreaded red thumbprint shows its ugly head again, this time eliminating Victoria from the competition.
Me- Ok like I said in episode 3 the Benoit situation really shook me and I just haven't had the heart to write this. And when I finally sat down to write it, it took two weeks to sit down and come up with original ideas that I actually liked. Add in the fact that I've started to seriously get into my new Music Theatre Major at college including minor roles in some productions. And to top that off, I've become the writer for Goldbergfanatic's Digimon the Abridged Series on youtube. So if you enjoy abridged series and like my writing please check it out.
Norm- Sell out.
Me- Hellz yeah.
