The Mole: Crazy Calamities Chapter 3: Cut Off From The Pack, a mario fanfic

Awwww... Only three people have voted on the poll... *frown* Please review. Not enough people voted on my pole on who the mole is to announce the results. Also Shilo is in Yoshi form unless I say otherwise (Confused? It explains on my profile!)

I don't own Mario

Cut Off From the Pack

Peach closed her eyes as did most of the others. They heard a splash and a few gasps and Toadette opened her eyes.

Toadette's mouth fell open. There were only three boxes left.

"Guys, I don't think we earned the money..." Toadette said.

Everyone looked up except Iggy who was mumbling, "Don't be our luggage. Don't be bags of money. Don't be anything that truly matters to us."

The boxes lowered to the ground and then went through the ground.

Peach tilted her head and was about to ask where the boxes were when they rose from the ground on a table.

They went over and opened them. Three bags fell out. They were labeled: Iggy, Shilo, and Toadette.

Iggy looked at the bags and let out a relived sigh. DK's eye twitched, "Well that was a fail. As you can see, the boxes contained your luggage. Only the three of you can keep your luggage. In the hotel we will buy the others another outfit for comforts sake."

Axel, Kooper, and Bombette were indifferent about their boxes. There was nothing special in them. But some of the others like Peach and Luigi were torn up about the challenge. Some were even crying.

Peach: That is a horrible thing to do! If I had known this would had happened I would have never left anything in my bag! I had a small book in there from my grandfather from before he passed away. I have half a mind to sue this show.

Luigi: *sigh* I had some really nice things in there. Like my first pair of overalls. And a wrench that I did my first plumbing job in the Mushroom Kingdom. *sigh*

Toadbert: I can't believe they did that! I had all of my books and some school work in there! If they were to burn some of my stuff that I was lucky enough to take out ... I don't even know!

DK looked about, "Well tomorrow is another day and your first execution. You better get a good rest."

The players arrived at the hotel and the people without luggage bought another outfit.

Before the players went to sleep they answered a poll. It asked who they thought would least like getting woken up in the middle of the night other that themselves.

Peach: Luigi

Luigi: Starlow

Kooper: Luigi

Bombette: Kooper

Toadette: Luigi

Toadbert: Toadette

Axel: Luigi

Starlow: Toadette

Shilo: Starlow

Iggy: Peach

DK snuck into the room. He walked over to Luigi and woke him, "We need you down stairs as soon as possible. If you don't come there will be a 10,000 coin penalty. If you wake up Shilo, there will be a penalty."

Luigi grumbled, got up, quickly dressed, and snuck down without waking anyone up.

DK looked up from a snack he was eating, swallowed, and said, "From the poll earlier this night you were the person who would least like getting up in the middle of the night. I will now offer you a choice; you can either take an exemption but earn no money or deliver a clue to the identity of the Mole. If you decide to deliver the clue, and someone sees and recognizes you, no money and no exemption is earned. While you are delivering the clue, you are free to look at the clue. If you tell anyone in the morning that you delivered the clue, then the money will be rebuked. Any questions?"

Luigi shook his head and pondered for a bit.

He said, "I will deliver the clue."

Luigi: I was so tired; it must have messed up my thinking. Why would I give up and exemption!

He grabbed the five sheets of paper on the table and shuffled down the hall to room 101. He tested the door lightly but it was not open. He got an idea and silently ran to the lobby again. He went up to the main desk and asked, "Is there a master key I could use to get into the rooms, 101, 102, 103, and 105?"

The Yoshi at the desk looked up and smiled, "DK said you would be coming. Here is the key."

Luigi grabbed the key and made off like a bandit towards room 101. He opened the door and laid the paper on the ground. He did likewise for the other three rooms. But in room 105 when he opened the door a light was on. He heard someone say, "Who's there?" He dropped the paper and ran. He arrived back at the lobby and said to DK, "Done!"

DK smiled and said, "Well you have successfully added 10,000 coins into the pot."

Luigi walked back to his room and fell asleep.

The next morning the players were discussing the note dropped off by Luigi.

DK looked around and said, "Last night Luigi was offered and exemption which he declined. So he delivered this clue to you instead and earned 10,000 coins!"

There was light applause but inside the Mole was fuming that Luigi passed up an exemption.

Peach looked at it and frowned and stated, "If this has anything to do with math then count me out of solving it."

Starlow, Axel, Iggy, Luigi and Toadette gave the same response.

Toadette looked surprised when Iggy backed off.

Toadette: Iggy is this genius but backs off at the mention of math. Huh...

Kooper looked down at it and said, "It looks like a magic square but there are too many numbers..."

Toadbert nodded and said, "Maybe the number that we don't use is the clue."

Shilo frowned, "Look... they forgot seven!"

Bombette nodded and then gasped, "Look at the back! There's writing on it!"

Kooper flipped it over and DK called Axel over to the test room.

Kooper read aloud, "Middle. One of these numbers is actually 7... That's all it says..."

"So let's assume that the extra 5 is the 7. Now we just have to solve it!" Bombette smiled.

Toadbert frowned, "No it's not that simple. There are probably thousands of solutions. But only one correct answer. And we also have to figure out what they mean by 'middle.' It probably means that the middle number is our clue but if so then why is there an extra number? Is it just to confuse us? Or does it have some deeper meaning? Maybe it... Bombette! WAKE UP!"

Bombette jumped and said, "Sorry. But you really need to make your speeches more interesting!"

DK and Axel came out of the room and DK called in Peach. She situated herself in front of the computer and thought.

1) Is the Mole male or female?

a) Male

b) Female

Peach: Well seeing as there are only 4 females here it will probably be safe to say male. But in the first challenge Toadette said that she didn't realize that she was all by herself. But according to the others Axel was running in front of her. How did she not notice that Axel was gone? AND on the plane Starlow was so quick to jump for the parachute that had the exemption in it so... never mind. There is too much stuff to look at!

2) When did the Mole step off the boat?

a) 1st

b) 2nd

c) 3rd

d) 4th

e) 5th

f) 6th

g) 7th/8th

h) Last

Shilo: Wow! How am I supposed to know this! I didn't even pay attention to who had gotten off of the boat before me! Well now I guess I have to make a not so educated guess! *frown*I never thought that such small things would matter. Oh well... If I get executed it's not going to surprise me.

3) What does the Mole Do for a living?

a) Hotel Manager/Scientist

b) Adventurer/Mushroom Hero

c) Sales Rep.

d) Professional Culinary Chef

e) Archaeologist

f) Explosive Specialist

g) Prince/Mad Genius

h) Princess/Politician

i) Scholar

j) Star Sprite Representative

Luigi: Gosh... I can only eliminate myself from this. I wish I was the Mole! I wouldn't get the money earned by the team but I wouldn't have to worry about the quiz! I guess I should think about suspicious behavior. Yeah... I'll do that!

4) When did the Mole jump from the plane?

a) 1st

b) 2nd

c) 3rd

d) 4th

e) 5th

Kooper: Well since no one failed to jump I don't have any clues from that. But the thing that strikes me most is when we got the clue that said 'meropic.' It's a long word that I don't know; sounds complicated, and like something someone well educated would say. So I've narrowed my suspects to Peach, Iggy, Toadbert, Starlow, Shilo and Axel the last two because I don't know what they learned on the Human world. So... yep!

5) Has the Mole received or been offered an exemption?

a) Yes

b) No

Starlow: Well seeing that only I have gotten an exemption and Luigi, who is obviously not the Mole, so anyone who says yes is going to get this wrong! Argh... If there was some way to know your quiz results then it would be eaiser to find the Mole. But that wouldn't be as fun now would it!

6) Did the Mole make it back to the hotel?

a) Yes

b) No

Iggy: Since almost no one back to the hotel I would say that it is a no. But wouldn't the Mole make sure that they seemed like the big hero? So Peach is still a minor suspect. But I'm just going to stick to our coalition plan and go for the least suspicious people.

Peach: I don't know! But thinking about it like I told my coalition partners the least suspicious are the ones who are most likely the Mole. So currently my suspects are as follows, Toadbert, Axel, Shilo and Bombette. They haven't done anything out of the ordinary which is what the Mole would do. So now my task is to decide which one of those four is the Mole.

7) What room is the Mole staying in?

a) 101

b) 102

c) 103

d) 104

e) 105

Toadette: If you want strategy then you would put the Mole closest to the producers. If you want tricks then you put the Mole farthest away from the producers. So the people in rooms 101 and 105 are possibly the Mole. So that means Kooper, Axel or Peach is the Mole.

8) Did the Mole's bag get dropped into the lava?

a) Yes

b) No

Toadbert: Well know that I'm the Mole the obvious answer is yes... I'm not the Mole... But by process of elimination the obvious answer is still yes.

9) Did the Mole deliver the clue to the players in the night?

a) Yes

b) No

Bombette: I think I know who the Mole is. I've been following them the whole game and if I don't get executed then this person is the Mole. If there is a tie or I get executed the Mole is not Kooper. I don't know why I chose Kooper. I guess he just isn't suspicious.

10) Who is the Mole?

a) Bombette

b) Peach

c) Toadbert

d) Toadette

e) Kooper

f) Luigi

g) Axel

h) Shilo

i) Starlow

j) Iggy

The players walked into a big room that smelt of sulfur. It looked old fashioned and looked strange with the computer in the middle. The players took a seat. They looked forward at the computer screen that was to end someone's game here.

DK smiled and just looked off into the distance.

Kooper looked at him, "DK? Hello, DK?"

Peach just sat down and Iggy looked in the same direction DK was looking. He gasped, "Guys! Look! Our bags are over there!"

A few people looked over and then ran to the bags. There were delighted squeals and cheers.

But Kooper, Bombette, and Peach frowned. Finally Bombette spoke up, "But weren't they burned?"

DK looked around, "No. The bags that were burned were just imitations of your real bags. The bags that rose from the ground were placed there by the producers right before it appeared. In a moment, I will begin entering your names into this computer," he explained. "If there was a tie in score in the quiz then the slowest person will be executed. If a green screen appears after your name is typed in, you are safe. However, if a red screen appears, that means that you are the Mole's first victim, and you must leave this game immediately. And tonight there has been a tie."

The players tensed. He looked to the right and said, "I will enter your names starting from the right and continuing left. Starlow is in possession of an exemption so she can't get executed. Toadette."

He typed her name in and she took in a breath and whispered to herself, "I will not get executed. I will not get executed. I will not get executed."

T-O-A-D-E-T-T-E

GREEN

She let out a little breath of relief. She looked over at Peach and smiled.

"Iggy." DK typed in Iggy's name and Iggy showed no emotion.

I-G-G-Y

GREEN

Iggy smirked and almost laughed.

"Shilo." Shilo looked around, taking a last look at the host and contestants.

S-H-I-L-O

GREEN

Shilo gasped, almost fainted and slightly giggled.

"Axel." Axel, being covered by his robe and mask, showed no emotion.

A-X-E-L

GREEN

Axel sighed and nodded.

"Kooper." Kooper looked at the screen, almost scared, and waited.

K-O-O-P-E-R

GREEN

Kooper's eyes widened and he gasped.

"Peach." She closed her eyes and whispered to Luigi, "Tell me when I have to leave..."

P-E-A-C-H

GREEN

Luigi tapped Peach hand; she looked up and gave a relived smile.

"Luigi." Luigi frowned. "There is a one in four chance you will be executed. Luigi are you ready to see your results?" Luigi nodded.

L-U-I-G-I

RED

There were some gasps from his coalition partners and sighs from the people not yet entered into the computer.

"I am sorry Luigi. You have been executed. please grab your bag and follow me."

Toadette smiled sadly, "I'm so surprised it wasn't me. It's a shame; he was such a nice guy."

Kooper gazed into the distance, "He was so nice. He never once crossed my Mole suspicions once. I guess that wasn't a good thing."

Iggy laughed, "I feel bad that my biggest rival of all time, the largest pain in the Koopa Family was my first victim."

Outside DK looked at Luigi and asked, "So how was the game?"

Luigi grinned, "It was good, but I'm not made for detective stuff like this. Oh well... It was fun while it lasted. I still don't know who the Mole is."

Luigi got in the van and DK smiled.

Peach looked almost horror struck, "He got executed because of me. I shared information with him but it was all wrong."

Bombette nodded, "He was the most innocent of the players. It will feel odd now that he's not here anymore"

Peach nodded, "He was so excited, yet scared, when we tried something new..."

Peach and Luigi jumped first one of the instructors yelled, "ARE YOU READY?" over the roar of the wind and Peach shouted back, "YES" and they disappeared in to the wind.

Luigi shivered as he felt the wind rushing past him.

Luigi: I looked out and thought 'If I die today at least it will be quick!'

Peach and Luigi were both screaming, one in exhilaration the other in utter terror.

"Tell me-a when it's over!" Luigi screamed, whose eyes were closed so tightly, tears were coming out.

Peach giggled, "Open your eyes silly! It's wonderful out here!"

Luigi screamed:

"No it's not! We're-a gonna die!"

Iggy smiled, "He was so nice when we went into the bakery. Even though I've been his enemy for years, he treated me like a friend."

Luigi and Iggy were talking. Iggy looked over and asked, "Do you want to get some food?"

Luigi laughed, "Of-a course!"

They walked into 'Bakery Dreams' and said good bye to the others.

Kooper thought, "I remember when I was in my room at night and suddenly the door opened. I'm guessing it was Luigi because I found the paper clue on the floor."

DK walked back in the room and said to the players, "You have the rest of the day off! Good luck everyone and happy Mole hunting!"

Next episode:

The players navigate an unsolvable maze... with impaired senses!

Shilo looked over and pointed in one direction.

Peach felt the soft hedges of the maze and saw nothing but the dark of the mask.

The players play detective and try to solve a crime at a party.

The Mole claimed their second victim.

Yeah! The winner of krisetchers 'Traitor Aboard' Is the First victim! I changed some spelling in this(I was half asleep when this was written) . How is it? I know it's probably easy to spot the Mole. At least one person has. But I'm fooling a lot of people! Wow... Please tell me what you think of The Mole: Crazy Calamities. Thanks ~Shilo Burbans
