Still not much to say, so onto the reviews. But one note, that this challenge, might take around five or six chapters. Yeah, long one, but hey, it's fun to write!

Light: Yes, indeed, someone does share your views on Toadette. Only publicly that is... I mean, people can't just go saying who their suspect really is! If they did, then people would know who the Mole is! So it's possible that more people share that view. And if Toadette is the Mole, she would obviously share those views too. If not, then she wouldn't. XD Unless she was trying to self-execute that is...! XD

Traveler: Thanks! And for your review too! Yeah, I do know that the first few challenges weren't that good, but remember, this WAS my first fanfiction, and Mole stories are, by NO means, easy to write. As for the 3 questions game, yeah, I realize that it is an interesting placement for the challenge, which is normally a closing challenge, but unfortunately, I can't tell you why! Also, thanks for the list! I would comment on that, but unfortunately, I'm not allowing myself to do so. I don't want to spoil anything.

Snop

Toadette was quickly driving towards Vanilla Dome. She knew something was off, because no time was given. That standing, if everything was explained, and nothing kept secret, the only way people would fail is if they gave up. And now was not the time to give up the money. You would be seen as the Mole. Earlier in the game, you wanted that, but now, now the player knew the Mole would conceal themselves, try not to be seen. So even her sporadic behavior was risky. Not dangerous to the money, but still, dangerous to her. If someone were to suspect her, but see her as too suspicious, she would be sunk, as she was still split between two players, as she felt most everyone was at this point. But the thing was, she was focusing on a player she felt no one else suspected. She was going with them for the first three episodes, but they had swayed her. She was now on and off about them. But she stopped thinking about it as her phone rang. It was Peach.

"Toadette... What was with you and Kooper this morning...?"

Toadette snorted, "Well, the little bird in the bush was using me. Just seeing what I thought, and verifying it with his thoughts. I fell into it too."

Peach just frowned, "Well, how did you find out? I mean, he seemed nicer than that, but I can see someone who really wants victory doing that. And I don't know his stance on how well he's doing."

Toadette just laughed a bitter laugh, "Well, I found out he was lying when he left his journal. I DO stoop low enough to look in someone else's journal, keep that in mind. And it had few words in it, 'Contact doing well. Using her to verify suspects. Have two in mind, both of us seem to suspect, though she not know.' I almost ripped his journal. That's when I talked to him about it."

Peach nodded, "Mm hm... That's all really. Oh, by the way, since we weren't told what the others were to snap, what did you get?"

Toadette finally smiled, "Well, I must take a photo of myself in the Vanilla Dome Red Switch, and must play though a mini level. I must take a picture with Lemmy Koopa, and to take it, I must defeat him in a battle. And I have to take a picture with King Boo's Crown, in which I must play some minigames with his minions, and then receive an advantage based on my win streak. Then I battler him like he always fights."

Bobmette was taken aback, "Wait, with King Boo's Crown?"

Toadette sighed, "Yes, that's what I said... Hello? Peach? You there? Hey!"

Peach had hung up.

Peach: Okay, this is just wrong. The example that DK gave us was the one with Boo's crown... I'm leaving this interview... Got to think my strategy over... Urgh...

Toadette shrugged. She didn't care. She then smirked evilly, and pulled over. She had arrived at the cave entrance, and since it wasn't too big of a cave, it was all transverse-able on foot. A single small village was in the center of the large cave, and it was made mostly of Koopa and Buzzy Beetles. She was guided by one of them to the Red Switch Place. Inside she saw was mostly deserted, as Bowser hadn't used it in a while. But there were koopa of all colours gathered, one for each of the eight spaces in between the blocks. at the very end, she saw a small door. The Beetle that had guided her in smiled, "Here, is where you will be completing one of your tasks. You simply have to get across to the door and go through to the switch. It's a simple as that."

Toadette nodded, still wary of the task. She knew there had to be a time limit, and that this challenge could be that easy. She just sighed, "That's it?"

The Beetle laughed, "Yes. Remember, you have one shot at this, an then if you fail, you have to go and try a different task."

Toadette just nodded and stepped onto the first triggered block, and the koopas, one for each colour of the rainbow, plus a light green, and a deep red, started ricocheting off the blocks, and an alarmingly fast rate, almost three times the normal speed. The Buzzy laughed, "Well, I can't say the producers and Mole are the only liars. These koopas have been spiced up with an energy drink, and are much more hyper. Also, if you didn't notice, the other eight block, despite the fact they are triggered already, can be bounced, just like a non-triggered block. Yes?"

Toadette gulped. This just got a lot harder.


Peach was driving along the road steadily. she had almost arrived at the garage she was told she needed to be at, for the first task. But now she had decided to call Iggy, and see what he was doing.

"Hello?"

Peach smiled, "Hey, Iggy! It's me Peach. I'm almost here, but I was wondering what you're doing at the moment?"

Iggy nodded, "Welp, at the moment, I'm at Morton's old castle right now. He really liked the place, so it's actually been kept in a pretty good condition."

Peach interrupted, "I don't know if this is out of bounds or anything, but I thought you were only ten? How are you allowed to drive?"

Iggy laughed, "Well, I am ten. In Koopa years. But in translation to human years, it's twice that, so really, in human years, I'm twenty."

Peach was surprised, "So, theoretically, you're only like, two or three years younger than I am?"

Iggy smiled, "Yeah, you got it! Meaning, since I'm ten, and Luddy, the oldest, is actually eighteen, really, he's thirty six years old."

Peach was startled, "Wow. I didn't know that!"

Iggy laughed, "Well, I'm assuming you didn't just call so you could ask about my age, so what is it?"

Peach just sighed, "Well, I was wondering what you're doing. I mean, I'm almost to my destination, so I'm really excited to do the tasks! I mean, mine really sound fun!"

Iggy laughed more, "Yes, about that. Mine. I have to play though a course, to find a Cape Feather. It won't be easy. They're very rare, and I don't even know how it'll affect me... They work on humans, and humanoid creatures, but I'm not, so I just don't know. And I have to take a picture of myself in a Mario Kart Race. I have to come in first. I'm really looking forward to that! I've always wanted to race. I hope they brought in my personal Kart... I've been making one for a while... It's just perfected! And the last one is me riding a Yoshi. I have to battle him, just like when King Dad kidnapped you the... What, the 11th or 12th time? Anyway, it's against the Yoshi, and I'm allowed my Chop-em' who is, by the way, my pet chain chomp, if you didn't know his name, and my magic wand."

Peacn smiled, "I'm trying to-"

She was cut off as he phone lost charge. She just sighed, "Oh..."

She didn't know where the charger was, and she couldn't search because she was driving. She just sighed, and pulled over, at a local gas station. It was lucky she was near one, because on Cookie Island, where civilization is far and few in between, she could have had to drive for miles. She parked, and started searching for her charger, setting the phone and camera on the dashboard. She got out of the car, and was looking on the floor, when she saw it tangled around the gas pedal. She frowned, and started to carefully untangle it. She had pulled the cords over and under, though and out, up and down, and she was only about halfway done. Suddenly she though she heard a voice behind her. She turned around, and there was an imposing Boo floating above her and he had asked, "Do you need help?"

She jumped, and that pulled the cords in her hand. The pedal was pushed, and the car lurched forward sharply. Everything had fallen down, he coffee, phone, camera, and various things on the two back seats. There were a few thuding sounds, and then Peach remembered the brake. She pursed her lips, "Uhh, no, I'm mostly good."

The Boo nodded and started to float away, but he turned back, stooped closer to the floor, picked something up, and handed it to Peach, "Ma'am, I do believe this is yours. It flew out of the car."

She received it and as the Boo floated away, she recognized it. She gasped, and almost let out an anguished cry.


Iggy just sighed. His phone had told him Peach's was out of battery. He had upgraded it to do that. When someone's call cut off, his phone traced it and found out why. He didn't know why he bothered to do that. He guessed he was just bored. And anyway, he was at Morton's old castle, like he told Peach, and he still had to compete against the Yoshi. He didn't think it would be too hard, since Yoshis are a proven species that cannot use power ups like Flowers and Mushrooms. But he didn't really care. He just wanted to get it over with. He did like battling sometimes, but not at the moment. He wasn't looking forward to playing though a level either. He didn't really know how, since he had never done it before. He had only sat in his castle, eating and waiting for Mario and Luigi. He didn't really like eating either, but his siblings and father insisted that he was much too much underweight, and needed to gain some pounds. Well, everyone but Ludwig. He was a scientist; he knew better than that. He got out of the car, and there was a small tourist group at the front of the castle. He had forgotten how few landmarks Donut Plains had. He saw a young Yoshi beckoning him over, and he decided that he was to be the opponent. He walked over and the Yoshi smiled, "Hi! My name is Olden, and I'm going to be the one facing you. By the way, you wouldn't mind if the battle was postponed a few minutes. The tourist group was told of this event, it was publicly announced that the Mole would be here, and they wanted to come. This is more of a public thing."

Iggy shrugged, "Sure! I'm fine with that. I'll just be exploring around for a moment!"

Olden nodded, "Yeah, sure thing! I mean, it WAS your brother's castle."

Iggy nodded. He smiled. Maybe he would like battling this Yoshi after all.


I know, I know... Crappy ending. But don't worry, I'm continuing it in the next chapter. Still, I don't have much to say, and specifically for Traveler, if you're Anon, I'll just take your vote though a review. Welp. Please review, thank you for reading, and Happy Mole Hunting! ~ Shilo Burbans
