Disclaimer: The following KhaosOmega fanfic draws its inspiration from a trio of krisetchers fanfics. The only thing i own concerning this story is the Jet Brazie character; everything else belongs to their respective owners. Please support the official release.

Episode 1, Part 3: The Mole Lets it Slip

"Man, how'd we get here from Pipeline Central so quickly?" Iggy asked once they took in their surroundings.

"Easy. Special variation of Chaos Control just recently mastered." Jet told the Koopaling.

"Though the only reason you use that is 'cause you keep having end-point problems with Chaos Control, right?" Kionna asked. Jet just simply nodded to that while scratching the back of his head.

"Okay, everyone, time for the second mission. I'll divide you into pairs, and if one of you can reach the summit within twelve turns the pot will increase by an amount i was never informed of. If none of you make it, you earn nothing."

'Sounds like the producers are trying to keep us in the dark about this mission's possible winnings. Maybe they'll tell him if one of us successfully reaches Pagoda Peak's summit.' Koops thought. Little did eleven of them know that the twelfth player (the Mole, specifically) actually knew the number of Coins that would go into the team pot if they succeeded.

"Okay, here's the pairings. The order i reveal the pairs will be the turn order. First pair is Lubba and Boshi." Boshi and Lubba turned to each other, then walked to the starting point at the base.

"Second pair is Koops and Gary." As the two aforementioned players headed to the base of Pagoda Peak in order to start the mission, they started talking about Luigi. Boshi and Lubba were in conversation as well, but about the other Mario Bro and Yoshi.

"Third pair is Sherry and Azalea."

'WHY did i see that coming?' Azalea thought, before she and Sherry started talking about golf while heading to the starting point.

"Fourth pair is Helen and Iggy."

"Race ya!" Helen said to Iggy and the race to the starting point was on, won by Iggy at the last second.

"Fifth pair is Wario and Toadette."

"Okay, i don't know why he paired those two up, though both know this map quite well." Peach said to Kionna. "Then again, i know this place quite well myself."

"Wasn't that the cruise Toadsworth offered that Bowser tried to crash?"

"Yeah."

"Hurry up, you two, or the others'll start without ya!" Jet's voice came from out of nowhere; both girls jumped, blushing, and walked to the starting point (due to Peach still recovering from the Super Saiyan 3 spike that got her squarely in the right eye and Kionna's seven inch heels). Once everyone was in position the mission, 'Summit Chase' as Jet referred to it by, began. Boshi's team got a 9 on their first roll, then Koops' team rolled a 4. Sherry and Azalea then rolled an 8, followed by 6s from Helen's and Wario's teams. Peach and Kionna rolled a ten. On the second turn everyone moved seven spaces forward. Along the way everyone got sent back down at some point, but Peach and Kionna ended up eleven spaces away from the summit and in possession of a Super Shroom Orb. Nobody else was anywhere close to them.

"So, eleven spaces to go. Maybe i should use the Super Shroom." Kionna said.

"You're gonna have to. This is the final turn, and if we don't make it we won't be able to earn the forty thousand Coins that are on the line." Peach told her partner. However, something she said didn't quite add up.

"Wait, how do you know this mission's worth forty thousand Coins?" Kionna asked, crossing her arms over her chest and giving Peach a wierd stare. The blonde was just standing there, recalling her last statement, then suddenly clasped her hands over her mouth.

"So YOU'RE the Mole! The only way a player would know how much a mission was worth if the host didn't even know is if they're the Mole."

'DANG IT, Peach! You can't keep a secret worth crap, can't you?! That little slip-up just gave Kionna a one-way ticket to victory.' Peach thought, blushing a very deep crimson. Kionna, wanting the Coins in the team pot, decided to activate the Super Shroom.

'Focus, Peach. If you can jump a low enough total you might be able to prevent the Coins' addition. Hopefully Kionna's total on her three dice don't add up to the remainder.' Peach thought to herself, then hit her first dice block. It was a 5. She then jumped a 3, before finishing with a 4.

'What? TWELVE?! That's more than the target for the Coins! Maybe Kionna might roll a total nowhere near the eleven objective.' Peach thought to herself while Kionna hit her three dice blocks. Kionna's total then added to the twelve Peach hit on her three dice blocks, resulting in a number that totally shocked Peach.

27.

"Okay, everyone, that's the end of the mission." Jet told the players while everyone was back at the base. "Since the team of Peach and Kionna made it to the summit on the mission's final dice roll, the team pot is now forty thousand Coins richer."

Team Pot

30,000 Coins

(plus) 40,000 Coins

Total: 70,000 Coins

Next thing the players knew, they were in Mushroom City, in front of a hotel. Good timing, too, as it was 9 P.M., considering how late they started the game.

"Time for room assignments. Room 109 is Kionna and Helen. Room 218 is Boshi and Lubba. Wario and Toadette are in room 327."

"Sounds like we're gonna be on different floors." Wario muttered to himself.

"Sherry and Azalea are in room 470. In room 515 is Koops and Gary. Room 684 is Iggy. And Peach will be in room 877."

'Phew, that was close. Good to know Iggy won't trigger a Mario pursuit in the midst of this game since he's related to Bowser. Jet must've taken that into consideration while trying to configure room assignments.' Peach thought. Then everyone went into their respective rooms and went to sleep.
