THE SECOND COMING
And now, to wet your appetites, Chrissy has picked his list of 12. This is a combination of the polls, this seasons popularity (thank you, thank you!) and my own warped mind.
Also below are slight hints to the 12 characters on board for my next fic, Murder Game. There will be a fantasy league so those who lost at Animole, you can have a better chance this time, as you don't need to know about the characters, you just need to use your minds and your detective skills.
And now, let's find out who Chris has chosen for next season!
* * * *
(Shot of a crowd with mixed reactions of the mole, but almost bursting with applause after Rika's victory. The author Chromus sits in a seat in his almost respectable studio in Nottingham and smiles.)
Chromus: Well, I'm glad you guys enjoyed it, and thanks for those who participated in the quiz. Congratulations to the winner, commerisations to everyone else, but I hope to see you again for the Murder Game coming VERY soon…
(A few cheers scatter as Chromus speaks again)
Chromus: However, I just couldn't wait and decided to start anew. Next year, we shall bring you the 3rd mole story in the Chromus arc, with 12 new characters, some familiar, some not, but hopefully, you'll get to know them all and enjoy them as much as this season…come on, none of you knew who Chiriko and Akari were and they topped the polls…which is why I'm pleased to bring out our first two contestants.
CONTESTANTS 1 AND 2: LAST SEASONS RENEWAL…
Chromus: Akari and Chiriko were last seasons most popular, so we've decided to bring in a representative from their shows again…first off, from Battle Athletes Victory, is she your generic Chinese girl? Well, one things for sure, she'll make things interesting, ladies and gentlemen, Ling-Pha Wong!
(Above the studio, an explosion hits…)
Chromus: What the…
(A hole in the formerly half-decent studio revealed a hot-air balloon with a face of a chinese girl. Said girl also appears in person as she jumps from the hot air balloon…and gets caught by 5 black robed figures on the way down…)
Ling-Pha: Ohhohohoho! It is I, Ling-Pha Wong, true heroine of my show and this show when it comes to be!
(Ling-Pha Wong – Rich Chinese Girl - Battle Athletes Victory)
Chromus: Need to get the insurance rates back…(recovers)…and now, Fushigi Yugi's representive, she used to be bad, but she's good again, she's a stunner, and she's one of many geniuses in this season…give a warm round of applause for Yui Hongo!
(An 18 year old blonde enters with a college uniform. She smiles as the audience politely applaud)
Yui: Thank you.
(Yui Hongo – College student – Fushigi Yugi Eikoden)
Chromus: These two were selected because of last season, this next 8 were selected from a combination of the polls and also from Chromus' own choices to see who would be good in this game…
CONTESTANTS 3-10: POLLS
Chromus: From Cowboy Bebop, he came close in Roomies but failed to get into the final four, will he be able to hunt down a mole? Ladies and gentlemen, Jet Black!
(Cowboy Bebop makes their debut as a contestant in a Chromus fic, as the former police officer with the bionic arm waves and gets the best applause of the day because CB actually does show in the UK…)
Jet Black – Bounty Hunter/Retired Officer – Cowboy Bebop
Chromus: Everyone loves Tenchi Muyo, so we had to have one…she's been in a few of these shows, but hey, you guys love the underdog, and with a partner she has, that's no surprise. Everyone, Kiyone Mabiki!
(Kiyone gets a LOUD applause as Jet and Yui applaud her entrance. Kiyone high fives Jet and waves a V sign)
Kiyone Mabiki – Galaxy Police Officer – Tenchi Muyo
Chromus: To say this show has become the most popular anime on television would be an understatement. And what about this girl, usually the light of friendship, can she overcome the darkness of a mole? Everyone's favourite dancer, Anzu Shinzaki!
(The Yu-Gi-Oh! Rep is not surprisingly, the biggest cheer so far as she's a bit embarrassed, but still smiles (and a few fanboys faint). Anzu bows to the others as she's a bit in awe of the situation)
Anzu Shinzaki – Dancer – Yu-Gi-Oh!
Chromus: Next, many of you won't know her, but she's a 10 year old 'tensai shoujo'…meaning child genius. And she's just so cute! Please welcome, from Azumanga Daioh, Chiyo-chan, a.k.a. Chiyo Mihama!
(At first, it doesn't seem there is much reaction, but when Chiyo enters with her bobbing pigtails, the crowd does a 180 and does the 'Kawaii!' in unison. Chiyo waves to the crowd as a few of the contestants are a bit surprised of the age (and indeed size) difference now.
Chiyo Mihama – Child Genius – Azumanga Daioh!
Chromus: Those 4 were chosen as the top 4 shows in the polls. The rest came down to me. So first, we've had one child genius, and one college genius. Let's have a middle school one then…she has terrorized every school she's been in, but thanks to Onizuka, she's finally enjoying life. From GTO, welcome Urumi Kanzaki!
(The 14…not 19 as Onizuka unfortunately found out…beauty from GTO enters to some applause (and a few cat calls). Urumi smiles around before looking over the contestants and smiles, putting a hand on Chiyo's shoulders and one on Yui's.)
Urumi Kanzaki – Terrorizing Genius – Great Teacher Onizuka
Chromus: (to himself) Scary…(out loud)…time for the bishounen combo! First, from Sailor Moon, the rose thrower himself, welcome Mamoru Chiba!
(Another blast of applause, and this time the girls are loudest as the Sailor Moon bishounen enters, with a rose in the mouth. He smiles and throws the rose into the crowd, to a lucky girl (who probably if smart would make a killing on eBay…)
Mamoru Chiba – Future Prince – Sailor Moon
Chromus: For the ladies yes, but what about the young girls. Well, we got you covered there as well…he may be in love with Sana, but you can try and change his mind…movie star and young bishounen, is he this seasons Chiriko? Find out for yourself with Naozumi Kamura!
(The Kodomo No Omocha young bisho enters, and a few screaming girls immediately try to get out and get an autograph. Naozumi blushes and enters shyly to join the rest of the group.)
Naozumi Kamura – Child Star – Kodomo No Omocha
Chromus: And rounding out the trio, this guy gets girls to flock to him like nobody's business! His dream to get his Maryland maybe on hold, but make sure not to go completely under his spell…welcome our trademark perverted guy, from Yukino's show Kare Kano, welcome Hideaki Asaba!
(The second bishounen after Arima of Kare Kano, and half the girls immediately go faint whilst the other half just scream. Asaba takes it cooly as usual, as a few of the girls of the contestants look at him oddly…Hideaki notices and flashes a smile.)
Hideaki Asaba – Lady Killer – Kare Kano
Chromus: That's 10, but there are 12. This season, we have two debuts in the world of reality games. One of them is from old school, whilst the other is a new age…let's see how you do with these two?
DEBUT REALITY: OLD SCHOOL AND NEW SCHOOL
Chromus: First of all, before Inu Yusha, before Ranma…but after Urusei Yatsura, there was this show about a few losers inside a run down appartment. Debuting in 1986 in anime form, Rumiko Takahashi created a masterpiece. We welcome for reality debut, Maison Ikkoku, and it's representative, the hopeless Yusaki Godai!
(The unlucky in love former ronin enters to only a bit of applause, to be expected. He smiles goofily as he takes in the situation.)
Yusaki Godai – Former Ronin – Maison Ikkoku
Chromus: From a 1986 to a 2002 show, things don't change much. This guy has a beautiful fiance, but still shares his place with 5 other girls…geez…but this isn't Love Hina or even Tenchi Muyo…we know the result here. Represnting Ai Yori Aoshi, welcome the luckiest man on earth, Kaoru Hanabishi!
(Kaoru enters, blushing at that remark, and a fair applause for the college student.)
Kaoru Hanabishi – Engaged College Student – Ai Yori Aoshi
* * * *
Chromus: So, let's see those people again!
Anzu Shinzaki (Yu-Gi-Oh!)
Chiyo Mihama (Azumanga Daioh)
Hideaki Asaba (Kare Kano)
Jet Black (Cowboy Bebop)
Kaoru Hanabishi (Ai Yori Aoshi)
Kiyone Mabiki (Tenchi Muyo!)
Ling-Pha Wong (Battle Athletes Victory)
Mamoru Chiba (Sailor Moon)
Naozumi Kamura (Kodomo No Omocha)
Urumi Kanzaki (GTO)
Yui Hongo (Fushigi Yugi Eikoden)
Yusaki Godai (Maison Ikkoku)
Chromus: One of these 12 will win a lot of money. But of course…one of these will also be a mole. I guess we'll wait and see…
(Chromus spots a few people writing in journals…)
Chromus: (sweatdrops) There are no clues in this part…
(A few groans)
Chromus: I leave you now, but first, let's digest the 12 contestants of the Murder Game…who I won't directly reveal, but allow you to try and work out…)
* * * *
WHO ARE WE?
GIRL 1 – She's the infamous cooking third team-mate of Animole's resent 'beauty'.
GIRL 2 – She's the second child of the organisation of NERV.
GIRL 3 – At 8 years old, she was lost in the desert. Many years later, she turned into an explanation expert aboard the mightiest battleship in space.
GIRL 4 – She is the youngest of the household that spawned Animole's host.
GIRL 5 – The youngest person in Murder Game, she gets nervous easily, but thanks to her alter-ego, she can get stronger. She's also an avid piano player.
GIRL 6 – This girl is the daughter of the legendary Hercule.
* * * *
BOY 1 – This man is Chicago's notorious Roadbuster.
BOY 2 – He is the oldest of this group of digidestined, and has a crush on the only girl in the group.
BOY 3 – He is Holy Forest Academy's male genius, and one of the first people who converted to Onizuka's side.
BOY 4 – He is one of AD Police's finest officers and shares a brother/sister like relationship with one of Chromus' trademark characters, Nene Romanova.
BOY 5 – He's an archeologist and a Tokyo U sensei all in one. He has also been the object of affection from more than one girl at the Hinatasou.

* * * *
Some easy, some not, but hopefully that will get you ready for both Animole 2 and Murder Game.
I hoped you enjoyed Animole and hope to see you for MG, and until then, thank you and goodbye!
