Chapter 17: 6 Survivors
Hi guys! It is the time… For the fourth execution to take place! XD Let us get started!
Toady: Yes, Junior's chest is under where Monty Mole is standing at the bottom of the hill. Toadiko had also secured herself an exemption, at the cost of her loss of information. Anyone could be responsible for that malfunction as they all had access to it. Why not have lovely malfunctions to stir things up in a Mole game? XD

"Ugh, we need Boo or Toadiko's card key to open the door!" Paratroopa shouted as he tried to enter the room.
Daisy and Boomerang ran up to them, "Hey, do you two have the key to your room?"
"Yeah, we do." Rosalina checked her purse her it. "Hey… Paratroopa, do you happen to have your key with you? I think I accidentally left mine in the room."
"Huh? I used my key to keep powering the electricity for you!" Paratroopa gasped.
Paratroopa: That is the moment that the two of us noticed: We both left our keys inside our rooms.
"Well, no biggie!" Daisy laughed, "Let's go to the reception!" She dashed away, only to be followed by Boomerang.
Boomerang: To be honest, I don't exactly trust these two here, maybe Para a little, but their act in not bringing their keys with them is just so… Suspicious, I would call it, but they might be just red herrings.
Boo opened the door in the hotel, "It's got to be here somewhere…" He started searched under the bed according to his clue.
"You should thank me for opening the door first." Junior laughed.
Toadiko smiled and bowed to him, "Yes, I am very grateful, anyways, Boo, I don't think they would hide the clue under the bed."
"Gee, I was just checking." Boo sighed before searching somewhere else, followed by the other two.
Junior: I guess if I didn't bring the key with me, we might be dooms, to come think of it, doesn't Rosalina and Paratroopa need either Toadiko or Boo's keys to get into Room 001 first in order to search?
Paratroopa flew inside, flapping his wings hard, "Toadiko, Boo, we need one of your keys!"
"Oh, it's right… Here?" Toadiko searched in her pockets, "Hey, Boo, did you see my key?"
"Of course I did! You left it here with me!" Boo took two keys out of his own pocket, "Take Toadiko's." He handed Paratroopa the key, who sighed.
"I just wonder how the heck you recognize that key is Toadiko's." Paratroopa sighed but went back to Room 001.
Junior ripped something off the wall, "Found it."
"Let me read it." Toadiko took it and began reading.
When the group split into two, there is a challenge with 5 envelopes. Find the crucial item of that challenge in the hotel, and maybe you will find it where it is most likely to appear.
Boo: When I read this, I know that it was referring to the Dice Dare challenge, I know for fact that the crucial item of that challenge is the dice we used, where could we find the dice you ask? Maybe let us try our luck in the casino.
Daisy thanked the receptionist. "Alright, Boomerang, let us hit the room hard!"
"I just wonder where that came from." Boomerang rolled his eyes but followed her.
Daisy smiled as it opened, "Great! Now, let's see if there is a note or something around here…"
"One right here." Boomerang ripped it off the mirror in the bathroom.
Daisy took a look at it and began thinking.
Where might you find what Merlon gave the group in Charity Raise?
"I'm pretty sure you were in that group, right?" Boomerang asked Daisy.
Daisy: Yes, I was in that group, but the challenge itself was so distant that I couldn't even remember who actually gave us anything. I know I'm definitely slowing us down, but my best bet would be a wand or a spell book.
Paratroopa pulled the note off inside the room. "Allow me to read it." Rosalina offered politely as she took the note, clearing her throat, she began.
Episode 1 had a start, what is the first mission's feature and where would you find it?
Rosalina: It is pretty clear to me that the so called feature is the water slide, I could still remember a tiny bit about that. If my memory serves me right, I have seen a level for a pool inside the hotel, which might be the place to go in my opinion.
Boo, Junior and Toadiko came into the casino, immediately they saw a table that looks the exact same to the one that they used in the game for throwing the dice. "Look at that!" Junior pointed at the item.
Boo: We did see a table, but where's the dice? There doesn't seem to have a note on there that would help us either or something. Maybe we have to find the dice at another place?
Boo approached the table, "No dice." He concluded.
"Maybe it is here." Toadiko giggled as she took a dice that is from the bar table, which has a picture of the Mole thumbprint in the circle of the '6'.
Junior raised an eyebrow, "Well… What do they expect us to do with that?"
"Maybe we have to do this!" Toadiko smashed the dice on the ground, which was smashed into pieces, "Look, here is our next clue!" The Mole thumbprint in the circle of the '6' is actually a card folded up. Toadiko began reading the words on it.
Next one up, the Bangle Choose, does that ring a bell to anyone? Go to the jewelry shop and find the fake bangle with the right color, if it is correct, then you can have another.
Toadiko: I take it that we need to go into the shop and find the right bangle that the group chose. There is one problem with the three of us however: None of us are one of the three people that were in that mission and I have no idea which one of the two was the correct one, none of them ever mentioned it!
Paratroopa and Rosalina rushed into the place and Rosalina placed a hand to her mouth in surprise. "Oh dear! Would you look at where they put the clue?" She pointed at the note which is in a plastic folder hung at the top of the ceiling.
Paratroopa: It's obvious that I have to fly up and get that, no way could anyone else other than me or Boo or perhaps Rosalina reach that in years, I'm glad that I am in this group.
Paratroopa smirked and flew up quickly to the folder, "I can't get it down!" He shouted to Rosalina below as he tried to untie the knot.
"Just read the message!" Rosalina shouted as hard as she could back.
Paratroopa nodded and began reading.
You have made it here, and thus we shall head to the next placement of the clues. Remember where the two princesses went for Baggage Rescue? Yes, a shop that symbolizes the place has your next clue.
Rosalina: Yes, I believe it is a toy box, Daisy and I were responsible for retrieving this pair of bags, although we failed, I knew where we have to go. It's pretty simple, actually, it is right where you might find a toy box, a toy store.
Daisy and Boomerang barged into the library. "Spell book, spell book." Daisy muttered to herself as she searched through the labels of the books that are on display.
Daisy: I know where exactly where our clue is now, the more I think of it, the more I remember of it. Come on, spell book, where are you?
"Found it!" Boomerang exclaimed as he received unwanted attention from the public, but ignored them and read the clue to Daisy.
There is a robbery that night during the party, an item was used to scan everyone's hands to find if there is the powder or not, it resembles something, where would you find that thing?
"Printer, it resembles a printer." Boomerang turned to Daisy, who nodded blindly in agreement. "One more thing… Do you know where we could find a printer?"
"Staff office, I think." The princess of Sarasaland replied.
Boomerang: On the way there, I think I know what is next. It's the mission of 3 challenges at the same time. I knew for fact that Daisy and I are only involved in two of these challenges. One of them will be remained as a mystery.
Toadiko, Boo and Junior rushed into the shop where the bangles are located at, immediately, they gasped.
Junior: Jesus Christ! There are at least 20 bangles for selection! Do we actually have to go through them all in order to find the thing? I hope that there is a shortcut to this challenge somehow.
Toadiko picked up a pink one. "This one looks perfect for me." She smiled.
"Hey! We are here for a mission, not slacking off!" Boo yelled as he searched through more bangles.
Toadiko put the pink one back, "Sorry…" She smiled sheepishly.
"Rosalina! What was the color of the bangle that was correct?" Junior asked Rosalina, who was searching through the shops with Paratroopa, by luck they met.
Rosalina smiled, "Gold, I think it was, or silver, I can't really remember, Daisy performed the best in that one."
Boo: Do I find the fact that Rosalina can't even remember a challenge that she won all of the money for and she was in that easily? Yes, I do. Unless her memory is just that bad that we have to recheck it, then I guess I cannot really trust her, not that I do in the first place.
Junior got the clue seconds later as the other two went out.
Congrats, you're almost there, head into the shop that has the final challenge of the episode's things and the cashier has what is in store for you.
Paratroopa and Rosalina located the toy shop. "Great, I think everything is going smoothly." Rosalina flashed a smile.
Rosalina: Yes, I do believe that everything is going alright. Paratroopa and I are going on without a doubt, Toadiko, Boo and Junior seemed strong as well, however Boomerang and Daisy are somewhere, and I don't know where they might be.
Paratroopa ripped the clue off from the toy box.
You are only a step, a skip and a hop away, remember what Monty used to carry all of the bags back to you players? Yes, that is where the time capsule will be on.
Paratroopa: Yes, I did get it. It said 'on' so that eliminates many things from the list. I thought that I lost my bag that day, but I didn't. So I guess that it is something that we can find in a hotel. Maybe it's on a trolley or something?
Daisy and Boomerang went up to the printer as Daisy ripped off the clue.
Daisy: Yep, this might be the first and only mission that I am doing everything correctly, and I am proud of myself for that.
Not far away, the capsule is located at where the ice-cream group might have went, can you figure it out?
"Cold storage?" Boomerang guessed.
Daisy nodded, "Yes, cold storage." Then she looked at the clock, "Crap, let's get going, we only have 20 minutes left."
Monty smiled after checking the time, which is only 5 minutes until the end of the game. "Are we in time?" Rosalina and Paratroopa ran up to him, capsule in hand. Monty shook his head no and the two high-fived each other.
"One capsule, right here!" Daisy laughed as she handed Monty the capsule, Boomerang close behind.
Monty smiled, "Only one more group left to go…"
Boomerang: Toadiko, Boo, Junior, where could you be? Please, please, please appear! It's literally the only game so far in the game that has gone so smoothly that no one could even doubt that it is teamwork!
"Alright, we are here!" Junior announced as he handed the capsule to Monty.
Monty smiled, "Congratulations! This is by far the every first mission that all of you performed so well that there isn't even a scratch! Now, 20000 coins go into the pot!"
Toadiko: Yes! We have done this mission so well that I am very proud of myself. I hope that this would continue, but I guess the Mole is called a Mole because they could sabotage, today they probably only left off.
Team Pot:
89000 Coins
"Now, there are only a few hours before the quiz, may everyone have a nice time, it might be your last." Monty smiled as he walked off.
Rosalina then decided to break the ice, "Alright, it is my pleasure to be your teammates, now, if you would excuse me, I would like to do some final revision on my suspects before the quiz."
Paratroopa nodded, "Yeah, same here!"
Junior: It is quite painfully obvious that they are the only ones that are not in a coalition, will they end of forming one? I don't know, for now, I just have to pray that Boo could make it through in order for us to get the numbers a bit.
After dinner, the players took the quiz one by one as they all know that one of them would be leaving tonight.
Junior had decided to take the quiz first, he faced the black screen with the thumbprint and the question as he made a decision.
Q1. Is the Mole male or female?
Male
Female
Junior: Although that I have an exemption, my suspicions still lies with Daisy, her fishy acts never passed by under my eyes. Such as the Hostage Rescue, I doubt if anyone could follow someone's instructions as well as she did, as if waiting for us to lose.
Q2. Which dish did the Mole order for the Hostage Rescue mission?
Piranha Salad
Bird Resort
Veggie Fry
Fish & Chips
Toadiko stared at her question given, doubt in her answers.
Q3. Did the Mole ultimately appear at the cliff when the time was up in Hostage Rescue?
Yes
No
Toadiko: Paratroopa is always my top suspect, I guess his image to all of us is a cheerful individual. But something about his sabotages and his acts tells me that he is something more than what he seemed to be.
Boo made himself comfortable as he gulped while selecting an answer.
Q4. What role did the Mole have in Coin Treasure?
Runner
Supervisor
Exemption Runner
Boo: Out of all three of us, I am the only one eligible for execution tonight, it has weighed a bit on me lately, but I guess I still have to rule out a suspect. Instead of earning money, Boomerang had to shout and lose money for us, suspicious or what?
Q5. Did the Mole get their treasure chest?
Yes
No
The Mole Doesn't Need a Treasure Chest
Rosalina stared at her question as she calmly selected a choice given.
Q6. Which capsule does the Mole's group need to retrieve?
Episode 1
Episode 2
Episode 3
Rosalina: Yes, I do still suspect Toadiko, her timid behavior and choices during the mission mentioned just then are quite… Weird, as if she knows that Paratroopa and I are not in a coalition. Daisy and Boomerang has been talking a lot, and I suspect they are in a coalition already.
Daisy read her question as she thought deeply.
Q7. When did the Mole arrive to Monty at the end of Time Capture?
1st
2nd
3rd
Daisy: Rosie still shines the most to me, I think that she is the Mole or she is playing the mysterious character. Who knows what could she do? Since she actually is not running around, maybe she was the one that caused the earpieces to malfunction.
Paratroopa bit his lip as he thought which answer to click.
Q8. Has the Mole used an exemption so far into the game?
Yes
No
Paratroopa: My prime suspect is Boo, he never remembered a single turn that he did even though he is the one driving, leading the two of them to go through a circle. Do I even need to mention the fact that he drove in circles are the hotel?
Boomerang read his question with wonder as the koopa clicked on an answer.
Q9. Is the Mole in a coalition?
Yes
No
Boomerang: Yeah, I guess Junior is suspicious in so many ways. First, although I lost money for the group in Hostage Rescue, he was the one that ultimately took the exemption offer and decided to let us lose the money, suspicious? I think so.
The Mole smiled at the final question as they looked at the names briefly, taking another bite out of their ice-cream, they selected their own name.
Q10. Who is the Mole?
Boo
Boomerang
Daisy
Junior
Paratroopa
Rosalina
Toadiko
The atmosphere in the lobby of the hallway was intense as all of the players sat down, the place was cleared of the public as everyone took a seat each at the 7 seats in a row. "Welcome, players, to your 4th execution. Here, one player's luck has been dehydrated by the sun in this place. When I enter your names into the screen, if a green screen shows up, you are safe and move onto the next episode. If a red screen shows up, however, you are the Mole's 4th victim. Is everyone ready?" Seeing nods, the host nodded himself. "Junior, you have an exemption, let us enter your name first."
Junior nodded and handed the card to monty, who slid it into the card slot as the player went back to his seat, waiting for the screen to show up.
J-U-N-I-O-R

GREEN
Junior nodded in joy as Toadiko figured that she would be next, the toad girl quietly handed her exemption to Monty and sat down while Monty slid the card into the card slot.
T-O-A-D-I-K-O

GREEN
"Does anyone want to volunteer?" Monty asked, seeing no one, he called for a name. "Boo." The ghost smiled as he watched the screen with mixed emotions.
B-O-O

.
.

RED
"Damn! I thought I'm safe!" Boo covered his face with his hands in shame. "Alright then, bye guys…" He stood up.
Monty smiled and picked up his bag, "Boo, let us depart."
Boo smiled then and looked at the players, "Bye guys, I had a wonderful time here!" With that, the ghost took his exit.
"Wow, I don't even know what to say anymore. I thought he was actually the Mole." Paratroopa admitted after a while. "He wasn't confident in himself, but still performed greatly."
(Flashback of Boo sliding down the slide with fear in his eyes)
Toadiko held back her tears, "He is doing so good, yet he just had to be the one that leaves…"
"The first name entered too after the exempted." Boomerang added, "I know we will miss him."
"He was beginning to get a bit no-nonsense, but I guess the Mole got him before he changes his game plans." Junior said as all of the others nodded.
(Flashback Boo: Hey! We are here for a mission, not slacking off!)
"Although it pains me to see another go, but we are all one step forward into the game." Rosalina looked downwards.
Boo and Monty walked out to the bus waiting for Boo to board. "What was your favorite part of the game?" Monty asked him.
"I donno, I was always a bit shyer than most people, so I tried my hardest in socializing." Boo replied as he grabbed his stuff.
Monty smiled, "Alright then, I guess you did a splendid job on this."
"Yes, I think I have." Boo smiled, "Bye Monty, I wish Toadiko and Junior luck."
"See you Boo, you will be missed." Monty replied back as he waved.
Boo waved to the camera one last time. "Toadiko, Junior, if one of you is the Mole or the winner, you're gonna take me out to dinner." With that, the bus drove off.
Boo was gone from the game.
Next time on The Mole:
Are they doing illegal activities? Really?
"Ugh, this job is not that well, actually." Boomerang admitted, being a bit uncomfortable of the mission.
Jailed? How could that be?
Junior shook the metal bars in his cell. "It's no use." Toadiko told him with tears in her eyes.
Exemption for every player that escapes? What a letdown for the others!
"Oh, my god." Rosalina gasped.
Yes, Boo is gone! The next episode seemed to be a fun one depending on the preview, but I guess it kinda introduces the next missions. XD
