Disclaimer. This took me a while because I left off in a horrible spot last chapter. Also, starting next episode, just cuz I'm too lazy to do it now, I'm going to try to use more in show character monologue. Oh, And if I get the time, I'll post the pictures of the characters in one big happy group. And because I'm so tryhard, I'll even draw it. Yeah... XD

Toady: I'm not going to comment on your review for 14... I just don't want to use up too much space. I only allow myself 2,000 words. As for the two hostages, I never said there were TWO hostages. And Bee said that he took the other to a specified spot. So maybe they were offered an exemption, or some other money or something. I love hiding stuff. And the Shilo and Axel's puzzles, well, maybe they did bring one or two of the others back! They did in some of the Australian seasons. I'm not saying anything more about the messages. Too much to reveal. And the challenge is a little confusing. I had to reread the instructions to myself, because I write full, very detailed instructions in case I want anyone to read them and suggest stuff, I was still confused. Doh! *Shot dead* And maybe Peach is sabotaging. And maybe not. That, is the question...And Did you vote on the poll yet? I noticed someone voted for... someone... and I was wondering if it was you. That's all.

Pandamonium: I realize that anon reviewers can't vote, but like Inspired Girl, you can leave your anon vote in a review! And the problems, heh... I can't remember Iggy's answer... *Comes back to life and shot dead again * Well, yep!

And The Messenger Is...

Toadette looked up, "What?"

Bombette nodded, "Someone was hacking the controls using a destructive radio wave, causing the plane to automatically turn back to a small controlled area..."

Toadette gulped, "Wait, so now what?"

Bombette sighed, "I don't know... The waves are keeping the plane within a specific distance... I don't know why... We'll never get this done... Oh... And sorry about the puzzle..."

Toadette shrugged, "It's okay... I didn't have much done anyway..."

They suddenly jumped as the phone range and let out a loud:

TWO HOURS LEFT!

Bombette sighed and Toadette started to pick up the puzzle.

Peach looked at the messages and Iggy smiled at her. She sighed, "No Iggy, I haven't gotten anywhere on who the mysterious messenger is."

Iggy shrugged. Suddenly Peach smiled at him. He laughed, "No, I haven't gotten anywhere on the answer. But it is negative... I think... And it's in terms of x, so..."

Peach shrugged, "Well, that two more bits of info that you have and that I don't."

Iggy laughed and Peach looked back at the phone. Suddenly it buzzed and Peach picked it up.

To everyone: Since you need to kno who is the one kidnapped, you're going to need to kno you I am. I am one of the individual players, and if any of you figure it out, I can relay it to the others.

Peach and Iggy: I really am not good at math, but I honesly don't think some pats of it will be that had. Like the 3x^2. That a relatively simple quesion, and I don't think you'll get it wrong.

Bombette and Toadette: No, I honesly don't think you'll need to be at the release site of the captive. Since you'll be figuring out whom the captive is, you can jus tell me and I'll relay it. But it seems that you have been... not doing well with the puzzle. That las picture you sent me... Oh goodness. I honesly didn't kno that type of radio signals exised. Of course, if I'm the Mole, of course I'll say that... =3

Shil and Axel: Maybe it's a trick quesion...? Did you read it caefully? Jus check it out again.

Iggy looked at the message, "I honestly don't know... Since the messenger is one of the single players, it probably has something to do with the spelling..."

Peach nodded.

Shilo looked at Axel, "I think I have the answer to the riddle."

Axel looked at him, "Okay Mole, what is it and how do you know?"

Shilo smiled, "One, I'm seriously not the Mole. Yes, I want everyone else to think that, but I want you to stay in till the end. So yeah, I guess I'll enter the coalition. Two, There were two pears in the tree. So one blew off and there was only a single pear on the ground and the tree. So you can't use plural. And three, I knew because I really thought about how you suggested it was a trick question."

Axel laughed, "Well, you were the one to suggest it."

Shilo shrugged and nodded, "Well, onto the coalition. Other than me, who do you think the Mole is?"

Axel shrugged, "I honestly don't know. But I'm really suspecting Iggy. I've been going for him on the quizzes so far, and I'm in. I only started to take your suspicious activity seriously this episode."

Axel: Now to be honest, I still think he's the Mole. I won't vote for him, because I honor coalitions, but if I get out, he is so the Mole. I actually have thought he was the Mole since day one. I only started to take that suspicion seriously in the second episode.

Shilo nodded, "I honestly have to agree. I originally thought it was Bombette, but she's kinda faded out of my radar. I'm still voting for her, but really, only just like, one or two questions. I've been voting for Iggy too."

Axel laughed, "Great minds think alike!"

Shilo smiled, "Well, lest go find a tour guide."

Axel nodded, "Oh wait! I'll tell the messenger we got our riddle!"

Shilo nodded and they both ran off.

Bombette and Toadette took one last look at the message and both of them sighed. Toadette frowned, "Now what?"

Bombette shrugged and smiled, "Well, We can help with Iggy's problem. Well, that and try to figure out how to get out of this obstructive radio wave."

Toadette nodded when the phone rang again.

Hi, it's me again. The places you have to go for the two others are either the MushMush Apartments for Kooper or the StarLink Movie for Starlow. Shilo just figured out his and Axel's riddle.

Toadette smiled, "Well, even thought we don't know where either of those are, and we probably won't get to them, what do we do?"

Bobmete shrugged and sighed, "I really don't know."

Peach smiled and looked at Iggy, "Do you have it know?"

Iggy smiled, "Yes I think I do. It-"

He suddenly jumped when the phone let out a tremendous:

ONE HOUR LEFT!

Peach sighed, "Well, seeing as you finally got it, let's go open up the safe in the back."

Iggy nodded and they headed back. She sat on the floor and Iggy did too. He reached up and typed

-12x

The safe clicked, once, twice, three times, and it popped open. Peach jumped and giggled and Iggy reached in. He pulled out a single key. He also pulled out a note.

Hello contestants. This key you have here is the key to open up the lock into the building with the hostage. It also will unlock the lock on the hostage. Not everyone has to be at the hostage location, but it would be advised to have everyone do so. Good bye and good luck! ~ DK

Peach laughed and the phone rang.

WOOOOOOOOOT! Shilo got who I am! I'm Starlow BTW! If you didn't notice, which you probably did, all the spelling mistakes went like this: St was replaced with s, ta with t, ar with a, rl, with r, lo, with l, and ow with o. The producers did that to make sure I couldn't type my name in. Yay! That means you're looking for Kooper! Oh, and now since you got my name, I don't have to let the computer do the spelling mistakes! WOOOOOOOOT! XDDDDDDD

Peach smile and giggled, "Well, I guess we're going to MushMush Apartments!"

Bombette sighed as the message came onto the phone.

Sorry Bombette and Toadette. I'll be leaving the communications area to help with the other at the MushMush Apartments. You'll be stranded until we get back.

Bombette sighed again and Toadette looked at her, "You know, come to think of it, you went up into the cockpit right before the interference began."

Bombette nodded and suddenly started, "Wait, so you think I'm the one who did that?"

Toadette nodded and Bombette shook her head, "No, it wasn't me! I swear!"

Toadette nodded.

Toadette: I don't see why she would deny it. Unless she's the Mole... ARGH! I DON'T KNOW WHO IT IS!

Shilo and Axel walked up to DK, who was standing right in front of the MushMush Apartments. He smiled and said, "Hello. The others are almost here. And..."

Suddenly a car pulled up next to the building and a familiar figure floated out. She smiled and walked to DK, "Unfortunately Bombette and Toadette aren't going to be here now. They are trapped in an obstructive radio wave over the airport."

DK shrugged, "Well, That's fine. You'll just be a little handicapped. Oh, look! The others are here now!"

A taxi pulled up, and Peach and Iggy stepped out. They had a key and DK gestured for them to unlock the door. They did and everyone stepped inside. DK turned to them and smiled, " Welcome to part two of the challenge."

There were some groans, and other who frowned. DK laughed and continued, "On these ten floors of these apartments, Kooper is hidden in one of the rooms. Some places you will find clues to where he is. But there is one more catch you will have to find out. The key must remain with the one who opened the door, that one being Iggy. It will unlock the door that Kooper is in and unlock the lock to the rope he is in. Any questions?"

When there was silence, DK continued, "So, I believe you only have one more hour to complete this challenge? Well, in that case, I do believe you need to get searching!"

They all huddled in a group. Starlow pulled out a bag, "The producers gave me this to help in finding Kooper."

She pulled out three walkie-talkies, and a map of the apartment. She also pulled out a slip of paper, "This was one of the clues to Kooper's location. But it only says he's on an odd numbered floor. K?"

Everyone nodded and Peach and Iggy ran to the nearest elevator, while Axel and Shilo ran to the nearest hall on the first floor. Start started to the elevator when suddenly she turned back to DK, "When are we finding out about the twist?"

DK laughed, "Soon... soon."

Starlow gulped, "Could you tell me now?"

DK nodded, "Glad you asked. You wouldn't have found out any other way. But Kooper is blindfolded, listening to music, and completely cut off from using all of his senses. He can't see what room he's in. He can't hear you, and by the off chance he can, he can't call out to you. He's immobilized, and can't make any noise. You have no way of knowing what room he is in."

Well, this is taking longer than I thought... Sorry... Also, I would like to know if you think if I should start my Sonic the Hedgehog Mole now or wait until this one is done. Just leave a review. Thanks! ~ Shilo Burbans
