The Double-Agent: Part Four

by StarStripe

"Welcome to our fourth edition of the Double-Agent. A group of people have been selected to complete tasks in which they can earn up to one billion Neopoints. But one of them is a Double-Agent working for us to stop the group from winning. So far, five people are gone, and all that are left are Kevin, Capara, Flame, Mulvinn, and Shop Wizard. These five now have a new set of challenges against them, and they'll need to play their hardest to win."

Mulvinn comments, "Great, now instead of the one I expected, I'm three steps closer to winning!"

Flame says, "Oh boy, I hope our plan works..."

Shop Wizard replies, "There has been a certain amount of trust between all of us that was just shattered. Now the game is a lot harder."

That day at Faerieland

"Hi everyone, now only half of the original ten are here. Now, everyone will draw a card, on that card is a number. This number is the level of difficulty your individual task will be. The numbers are one through five, five being the easiest. Now, everyone pick a card."

Everyone steps forward and grabs a card out of my hand.

"One!" Capara shouts.

"Five!" says Flame.

"Two!" says SW.

"Three," Mulvinn adds.

"Four."

"Okay, the tasks are as follows. In front of you are five giant stages. On each stage is a common game, either Whack-A-Beast, Kiko Match, Meerca Chase, Kacheek Seek, or Techo Says. You will have to play each of these games. If four of you complete their games, you get 100 million, if three 50 million, and if all five you get 100 million and an extra 10 million. Also, after this is a pop Quiz, where one of you will leave. Kacheek Seek is number 5, Kiko Match is 4, Whack-A-Beast is 3, Techo Says is 2, and of course, Meerca Chase is 1. Good Luck."

First is Kacheek Seek, find the Kacheek within five minutes in the huge jungle-type scenario. Flame has this.

"Ready, set, go!" Flame speeds off jumping in to shrubs like a maniac and frantically roaring. It seems that the little Kacheek, scared out of its wits, runs out of it's hiding stop and gets captured easily by the Kougra.

Next is Kiko Match, step on one of 12 large spaces and it will show the picture of a type of Kiko. Get all pictures matched and win. Kevin has this.

Go! Kevin clearly starts out with his advantage of flight. He soars and presses the closest two to him, green and red Kikos. Then he goes again, orange and yellow. Then orange and red. Red and red, then orange and orange, He has two minutes left. Yellow and green. Green and green, yellow and yellow. Blue and blue, then finally turquoise and turquoise just in time.

Third is Mulvinn at the simple Whack-A-Beast. In five minutes hit as many ugly things as possible, he needs at least 100. But whenever he hits a Quiggle or Jubjub his score goes down one.*

Go! He starts off fast, kicking and jumping and punching, but by the end of the third minute he only has 46 points. By the last thirty seconds he has 92, he hits seven more and he has to hit one more in two seconds...

Fourth is Techo Says, light up the squares in the same pattern as the Techo. The objective is to go up to 25 events in the pattern. SW has this challenge.

He does make it up to Red, Orange, Yellow, Yellow, Red, Blue, Green, Green, Blue, Blue, Orange, Yellow, Yellow, Orange, Orange, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Yellow, Yellow, Red, Red, Orange, Yellow and wins. Phew!

Lastly is Capara, driving around in a go-cart trying to collect fifty yellow Neggs without touching the red ones.

She zooms around and picks up an easy twenty, but then she diverts her attention to a yellow one behind a red one and runs off the track, crashing her into a red Negg.

"Okay, you all collected in total 50 million Neopoints, making the pot up to 465 million, and it is time for a mini-quiz and an execution."

After the Quiz

"Okay, you know the rules, green dot, you stay, red dot, you leave. Good," I say.

Kevin

Green Dot

Mulvinn

Red Dot

"Okay, you must leave immediately, good-bye Mulvinn."

He leaves silently.

*Disclaimer; no NeoPets were hurt during this game.

The next day on the edge of a cloud in Faerieland

"Okay, simple enough, you must parachute down on to that target below, each person to hit the target gains 20 million Neopoints Oh, and yes, that target is in the middle of the Haunted Woods. After this, it's just another execution. Good Luck."

First up, Kevin Korbat

He leaps out and spreads his wings, catching an updraft and soaring upward. Then, with a change of speed and position he starts to dive down as fast as he can towards the target. He goes faster and faster and then releases his parachute. "GeraNimmo!" he shouts as he lands right in the center of the target.

Second, was Flame the Tame.

Flame jumped and spread his arms, and then flailed them. He shouted and yelped when he looked down and flailed and screamed. It was just luck alone that made him flail his hand to the pull-string and release his parachute, and it was his unluckiness that landed him nearly three miles away from his intended target.

Next, Capara failed and SW made just at the edge of the target.

That night in the Haunted Woods after the Quiz

"Okay, this is the final call before the finals. You all must recall everything and soon, one of you won't be here. Okay!"

Capara

Green Dot

Shop Wizard

Green Dot

Kevin

Red Dot

"Kevin, you must leave, these three have outplayed you and now you are the Double-Agent's seventh victim. Good Night."
