This will be a short chapter I think. It's only the execution. I also just posted a picture clue. Find them at Auburn-Shard on deviantArt. And yes, I did get that off the internet, but you can't seriously expect me to MAKE seven cupcakes, when my family wouldn't eat them, and they'd just go to waste. Also last episode, I forgot to put the sneak peek into the next episode. Sorry, I won't forget this time! I actually have four other Mole's planned, Hetalia AP, Sonic, Homestuck, and IZ. All of them have players and a rough execution order, but only IZ and Sonic have challenges. Please read when I'm done with this. I will have a second season too. Maybe a third!
One More Victim
Before DK sent out the first player to the quiz, he pulled out a small slip of paper, "I hope you all have your journals, because the Mole has left me another clue."
There was shuffling of papers, and soon the clue had been revealed, and the notes were being taken.
The paper said, "426269."
After people frantically wrote the note down, DK pulled it away, "So, this episode, Iggy is first up to the quiz."
Iggy sat down at the computer, and watched as the screen flickered to life.
1) Is the Mole male or female?
a) Male
b) Female
Iggy: Well, I'm not exactly sure what's happening lately, see as last challenges had some particularly dark moments. Me and Peach, well, more like just me, are suspecting Shilo. Lately, I've more or less broken off our coalition. I'm just using her, if you will. But she suspects Bombette. I really don't know why. She explained it to me, but I still don't get it. But I'm going with Shilo. He got an exemption, at the cost of money, and he just lost 40,000 coins. That and wouldn't you notice if the leg started sliding out from your chair, but the rest didn't move? I would.
2) Did the Mole comment on the plates on the Buzzie's backs?
a) Yes
b) No
Shilo: I really couldn't say. Peach didn't, but Iggy did. I suspect both of them, and can't really say who is the Mole and who is being played. Though, actually, it seems that BOTH of them are being played by the other, and the only ones who don't know are them! Though, I'm going to have to go with Peach on this one. She didn't comment, and she tried to make us confused during this challenge. Sabotage at its greatest. Now, I'm going to finish this quiz soon. My wrist still hurts. Ah, thank god I have an exemption.
3) What food group was the Mole in?
a) Cheese
b) Bread
c) Juice
d) Two of them
Peach: I recently befriended Starlow. More or less a coalition, but like I said before, ever since Luigi got out, I'm only using people, not making coalitions. I have a win/win coalition with Starlow. She thinks she's getting all my suspicions and clue, but really, almost nothing. Just a few thoughts and suspicions, not the mother-load of my suspicions. But her and I AND Iggy agree. Bombette is suspicious. She's kind of been acting weird, and not Mole weird, but Bombette weird. Like getting a lip piercing. She would normally never do that! And She INSISTED that the correct bread was wrong. That and various things from previous episodes tell me she's the Mole. So I'll go with Bread. Yeah. I'll win.
4) Did the Mole deny that the correct food was correct, or create a situation where the correct food was unable to be sampled?
a) Yes
b) No
Starlow: You know... I'm actually going to split my answers between two of the people. Which I guess theoretically doesn't matter, since it's yes either way. But I'm answering with the least suspicious one on this one. I really didn't tell Peach that suspicion, but I have so little on them, I don't really take that suspect seriously.
5) Did the Mole complete their task?
a) Yes
b) No
c) The Mole did multiple tasks
d) The Mole did no tasks
Kooper: I honestly think I have the Mole pinpointed. I've abandoned my last clue, which I believe was wrong, and have finally turned to Iggy as the Mole. But the reason I think I stayed in, is because a lot of the time, Iggy stuck around Peach. Since that happened, some of the answers were the same for the quiz. So yes, the Mole completed their task. That and he had the TIME to look at chair? I mean come on? Why would he have done that, unless he knew it was broken?!
6) If the Mole did get a task, what was it?
a) Getting a tattoo
b) Shaving your head
c) Cast your arm
d) Get a lip piercing
e) Go without dinner and sleep tonight
f) The Mole did multiple tasks
g) The Mole did no task
Shilo: Now, not like I'm a hypocrite or anything, and I DO want the coalition with Bombette, but I didn't reveal everything to her. Yes, I do suspect Peach and Iggy, but I also suspect Kooper. I know she abandoned him first round and is still in, so I really don't know. But I do think he has some possibility. I can't point out much, actually don't want to, because then if Bombette is eliminated, she'll feel betrayed. That and I don't have too much on him. He just keeps nagging at the back of my mind... So he didn't do a task.
7) Did the Mole or their group earn money for the team?
a) Yes
b) No
Toadette: Well, going on intuition, I'm actually voting for Peach. She's farthest away from the producers, a strategic spot, cause, like I said before, no one would suspect the farthest from the producers is the Mole. They're too... Far. But then, it would be the perfect spot for her to be, with no one suspecting her and all. I would go for Kooper, but we've pretty much proven to each other that we're not the Mole. So yeah, the Mole earned money. Damn. Sneaky Mole!
8) He the Mole been injured in the game up to date?
a) Yes
b) No
Bombette: No. No, no, no and, wait yes never mind. God, that was embarrassing. Actually yes. I have a feeling they put some of these question on this quiz, to make you doubt your suspects. Like this one specifically points to Kooper and Iggy. And the denying question, specifically Bombette and Toadette. But anyway, I still say yes, Iggy has injured himself, or so he says. So it's a yes.
9) Did the Mole receive an exemption this episode?
a) Yes
b) No
Peach: Well It's not me, and there was only one other exemption. Shilo. But he's not a major suspect right now. I'm not going to risk it and say yes, just because he's a little suspicious. So no, Bombette didn't get an exemption. But Shilo,'s been rising on my suspect list... He did sabotage A LOT of money this episode... But still, no, the Mole didn't.
10) Who is the Mole?
a) Bombette
b) Peach
c) Toadette
d) Kooper
e) Shilo
f) Starlow
g) Iggy
The Mole: Once again, you get me on my own question. Though you can't really expect the producers let someone voice their suspicions. Though, I will. I think I'm the Mole. THINK! Ha! And I don't think the rest of the people are. Yah?
Once again, the execution of one of the players was here. As the seven players sat down in the seven provided chairs, their luggage behind them, DK sat in his chair by the desk. A small crowd had gathered once again, to watch which player was to go. DK smiled, "Players, welcome to your fourth execution. In a moment, I will be typing your names into the screen, to see if you are executed. If the screen turns green, you are safe, and have secured a spot in the fifth episode. If the screen is red, you are the fourth executed player, and will go home with Toadbert, Axel, and Luigi. Peach and Shilo have both been exempted, and therefore cannot be executed. Any volunteers?"
Iggy raised his hand, and a murmur broke out in the sidelines. Iggy was still being played, and now was playing the same game with Peach. He was not likely to be executed with false information from her. DK nodded, "Iggy."

Iggy smiled smugly and sat down. Starlow then looked up, indicating her volunteering. The crowd was getting louder. They were aware of the coalition with Peach she had made, a similar one which was the suspected cause of Luigi's untimely execution.
STARLOW

RED
Starlow smiled, "I knew it..."
DK looked up, "I'm sorry Starlow. You have been executed. Please grab your things and follow me."
Peach was crying, "I executed her! I executed someone again! Why do I keep DOING this! My god..."
Iggy hugged her, "Oh, don't worry. We all have to go sometime or another. The only one truly safe is the Mole. Starlow knew that. But remember her for what she did in the game, not how you executed her."
Suddenly Shilo called out, "Hey! Look! There are parachutes over here!"
Axel and Starlow immediately ran over to Shilo. Starlow gasped, "Oh my stars! I've all ways wanted to parachute! I am soooo taking the one on the farthest right!"
Bombette smiled," Yeah... Though, sometimes, she was a little bit self-absorbed, she was nice in general."
"Well… now what," said Shilo.
"It's too hot here," Iggy mumbled.
"Shut up, we don't care!" shouted Starlow.
"Does anyone else think we boar…. what's that humming sound?" said Peach.
"NOTHING! Now sh…. oh… I do hear it." Starlow grumbled.
Peach smirked. "Told you."
DK smiled at Starlow, "What will you remember most about this game?"
Starlow sighed, "Well, I think I'll remember the sabotage most. Always looking for the Mole, always finding him or her, and then always finding out you're wrong! It was fun actually! But really, I think I'll remember is the Players. At first I was a jerk, picking on Iggy, not doing anything. But then I kinda softened up, though not in a good way. I was determined not to sabotage purposely. But that made me fade into the back. I noticed people not paying attention to me. I was the Mole, period, so I didn't need to be concerned with. I've still only cleared one person from my suspect list, and that was who I voted for tonight!"
DK laughed, "Well, the Mole certainly got you tonight. Anything you would like to say to the players?"
Starlow shook her head, "Not particularly. I would say who my suspect was, but I won't. I actually had two, who both aren't the Mole. Also, tell the players It was fun while it lasted. I really enjoyed it, and I hope they do to."
DK nodded. Starlow climbed into the waiting van. DK smiled as she shut the door, "Say goodbye to the contestants for me."
DK nodded, "And say hello to the other three out there. Good bye Starlow!"
As the van drove away, Starlow looked out the window, "GOODBYE DK!"
Shilo smiled, "She really was such a genuine player... I mean, if she had won, she definitely would have had a very large amount in the pot. Now she's gone, we only have the suspicious and shady players left..."
Bombette, before she tasted it frowned, "This isn't it. It's not shaped right, or the right colour."
Starlow shook her head, "No, it might be. Right, it's the wrong colour, but the shape can vary. She only said that it is fruit shaped MOST OF THE TIME. Remember?"
Bombette shook her head, "No! It's definitely not!"
Starlow frowned, but nodded reluctantly. They both took bites, finally finishing it off. Bombette grimaced, "It was too sweet. Like, one of the mainland loaves, ones where they add honey as an ingredient."
Starlow looked at her strangely, "But... B-b-but... They said... They said the rougher grains were sweeter!"
Bombette shook her head, "I know, but this is too sweet, like, 'I just added a pound of sugar into this,' sweet. I don't ever remember the guide saying that they put sugar or honey or anything into the bread."
Starlow sighed, "No, I still say it is..."
As Kooper and Toadette nodded everyone realized something. Everyone here was in a coalition, three teams of three existing. Someone here was the Mole. And who ever their partner was, was sunk. DK walked back in, "Players, once again, you are approaching curfew. Please go back to the hotel."
They nodded, and the crowd dispersed. DK smiled and started packing the execution set, "Well, another player gone. And then there were six..."
Next Episode:
As the stakes grow higher, players find it harder to hold ties with allies.
"B-but, I never sai-"
"DON'T YOU LIE TO ME! YOU'VE BEEN USING ME! I KNOW YOUR METHODS! THIS COALITION IS OVER!"
"But! Please... I can't..."
The players are forced to choose between money, or what they really want.
"PLEASE! I've been here to long! I STAND IT ANY LONGER!"
As the person started crying, the other futilely pleaded with them, "Please! It's only a day... And there are 60,000 coins at stake..."
"No, I agree with him. I just can't sit here and let the other three have all the spoils. I don't care about the money. I never did."
The Mole claims their fifth victim...
DK grimaced, "I'm sorry, but you have been executed. Please grab your bags and follow me."
Well, how'd I do? I'm actually surprised, but this is just over a hundred words longer then a normal chapter I think! Well, Who do you think the Mole is?
And now for the results for the poll. People are really starting to differ. Remember, I don't count my vote, because it's always correct.
Iggy: 2 votes! He's the Mole! Or is he...?
Bombette 1 vote.
Everyone else: No votes.
Remember people, you can vote even if you aren't a member. All's you have to do is post your vote in the reviews! Please review, thank you for reading, and Happy Mole Hunting! ~ Shilo Burbans
