| Jack and Fem enter the Inn, having gotten separated from Kirby during the fight with the X-Nauts. Jack: Hey, Kirby, there you are. It turns out that Professor Gyromite has been staying here in Rogueport since fairly shortly after he came to Earth with us from Popstar. Fem recently came to Rogueport to help him with his archeological-type stuff. Fem: We've been studying the legend of the treasure that supposedly lies somewhere under the city. |

| Kirby: Hey! I thought I lost you guys forever! *looks at Fem* Your grandpa is here? Kirby's brain was on a roll. Kirby: ... So... you said... there's a legend of a treasure around here? *takes out a map* Schala sent me a box that had this map inside of it. Do you think your grandpa saw her around here? Maybe she went off to look for the treasure on her own.... So.. um.. can we go see Professor Gyromite?  |

| Fem: I certainly haven't seen Schala... Fem walks over and looks at the map. A large exclimation point appears briefly over her head. Fem: Yes... I think we need to go see the Professor right away. |

| Kirby poked at the exlamation point. He blinked for a second and then shook his head. Kirby: Er... yeah!  Kirby, with the only possible lead to Schala in sight, leaps out of the inn. Kirby: .... um... erm... Where is your grandpa, anyway? |

| Fem: This way. Fem lead the group to a section of town east of the inn, and into one of the bland (and small) houses there. Inside, the walls were pretty well covered with bookshelves, all full. Near the door stood a desk, with all manner of books and papers with scribbled notes atop it, as well as a name plaque reading "Professor Hector Gyromite". Behind the desk sat a balding white-haired man with a mustache, wearing a labcoat. Gyromite: Ah, Fem, there you are! I was getting worried. Fem: Hey, Professor. You're never going to guess who I ran into. Jack: Hello. Gyromite: Hey! Jack! How are things? Jack: Things are good. Gyromite: You treating my daughter all right? Jack: Of course. Fem: And you remember Kirby Nite. Gyromite: Yes. He's a bit taller than the last time we met.  Fem: Apparently, he received a box from his.. "friend", Schala, containing a treasure map. Now, you know more about this stuff than I do, but it LOOKS to me like it's the Magical Map of legend. Gyromite: WHAT??? Well don't just stand there, boy, bring it over here and let me have a look! |

| Kirby didn't hesitate in handing over the map. After doing so, he looks around the room. It looked pretty clean, in an unkempt way. Kirby: ... Hey.. hey.. Um.. Sir? Have you seen Schala? You know.. blue hair... blue dress...? |

| Troy stood at the door, raising his arm weakly in protest. Troy: 'scuse me... treasure? Here? As far as LEG-END goes in this happy little crow's nest, you'll find fifty feet down from where we're standing is a sewer that's probably better-kept than the streets of this dump. Lots of stories start in Rogueport but not many end there, and of all things... Troy continued to pace and ramble in the background as more and more attention was drawn to the tattered pamphlet... |

| As Kirby confusedly looked for Schala, a tall fellow in a large overcoat stood outside the door. He had been trailing the group since the incident with Siryx, and decided he might want to make his entrance soon... Grey (to himself): "A missing person, eh? Sounds like these fellows could use a detective. But, I think it'd be best if I waited a bit before joining them." Grey continued to eavesdrop on the conversation as a young lad slipped into one of his pockets and made off with one of his gadgets.... (edited by Grey on 10-31-04 04:06 PM) |

| Professor Gyromite hadn't heard a single thing Kirby or anyone else had said. He was too busy looking at the map. Gyromite: Yes! This is it! Quickly! To the Thousand Year Door! Gyromite ran past everyone, out the door, and jumped into a nearby pipe. |

| Kirby's jaws locked into place. His only lead to Schala had just ran across the street and down a rusty pipe. Kirby: Hey! What's the big idea!? The spikey headed adventurer grabbed his map off of the desk. Kirby then ran out the exit, nearly running over Grey. He skidded to a halt before reaching the pipe. Kirby: ... *peers over* Pinooochiooooooooo! .... Ahem... Well, I've never really done the whole pipe warping thing... Kirby leapt inside the tubingd, not caring about leaving everyone behind nor what was waiting for him on the other side. In a few seconds, Kirby slid out the other end of the pipe. Kirby: It's a sewer.... Geeze, how typical... |

| OOC: Cool character, but hey, the Profile thread's there for something. As Siryx's shadow speaks to Team Gemini, Ami's crystal glows with the voice. Neither of the twins are alarmed, but Korra looks thoughful. After a while, he says to Siryx, "Okay, what we need to do is find a spiritual specialist. Someone who is a perfect expert at handling spiritual cases. Someone like... like..." Meanwhile, in a palace made of blue crystal floating miles in the sky, the mind of a sleeping teenager inside stirs. He's having a vision. "Schwa, listen," says an all-powerful voice. "It is only I, Zraku in my true form. When you wake up, follow the telepathic ping I have pinpointed in this world. There is a troubled soul in need of spiritual expertise." "Where am I, Zraku?" "This is a vision." "I see. I will not fail you, Zraku, nor the spirits of the Etheral Dimmension." "Schwa, I will be with you. Awaken." Schwa wakes up, sensing a telepathic distress call from the coastal city of Rougeport... a call from the mind of Siryx. |

| ((Yeah yeah, it's ok to join Just... have a good reason to be in Rogueport or to join the story, or something )) Kirby: Ah, geeze.. I seem to have lost him... Hm... Let's see... I see a broken pillar over there... and he seems too old to climb over it.... Uh.... Well, there's no other route than going down these stairs.... Kirby slowly began to realize something. The sewers seemed a bit cleaner than the world above. Infact, the floor seems to consist of concrete and marble. There was still disgusting water rushing about, but it seemed a bit odd to him. Kirby: ... Hm... --------------- Meanwhile.. On the floating island of Neo Grape Gardens. Rick: ... I hope Melvin watches where he drives. There's some weird gem floating nearby.... |

| Siryx stared at Team Gemini... Siryx: "A spiritual specialist you say?..." A (small) part of his memories began to return... Siryx: "What the... spirit... soul... I can remember this... something about me... I can remember something... I feel... as if I knew this place... I went to this town before... This town... is a gateway..." |

| Rapelling down the warp pipe's shaft with one of his mini-grappling hooks (despite there being a perfectly good ladder to use right next to him), Grey stopped just short of the area Kirby was in, and looked around, while hanging from the ceiling. He was juuuuuust out of view. Grey (thinking): 'Ok, let's see where Spikey here is headed to....' |

| The dark red haired lad continued to examine the area. He hopped down the flight of stairs, still looking for Professor Gyromite. In his search, however, Kirby finds a trio of Goombas. One of the Goombas had a spiked hat, and another was actually a Paragoomba. Kirby: Hey, shorty. *looking at the spiked Goomba* Have you seen an old man run by here? Spiked Goomba: Shorty?! Think you can trip in our pad like that? Goomba: What you gettin' worked up for? Your name is Shorty. Shorty: Yeah, well, I don't like how this punk be coming in here thinking he be king of the Undaworld Kirby: As much as I don't mind you guys filling up my post with your useless banter, could you just tell me where to find the old man? Shorty: Punk! Who you think you are? Kirby: Um.. I think I'm Kirby Neo Nite.. Would you like my resume? Shorty: .... Grrrr! The spike topped Goomba lunged towards Kirby, spike first, of course. However, Kirby anticipated the attack and performed his own counter. The adventurer twisted his upper body to the left. He then spun around as he hopped into the air. Kirby's Hurricane Kick knocked Shorty into a nearby pit, easily putting him to shame. Goomba: ... Um... He went over to that pipe, the one behind the rusty fences. Kirby: Thank you. |

| Both Teddylot and Zap got lost somewhere in the hullaballoo of the intro, but they eventually found themselves in front of old man Gyromite's house. Teddylot: Hey, I remember this place. I egg and TP this house every year on Halloween. Zap: That's nice. You think they might be inside? Teddylot: Naw, I hear old Gyro-head is a little messed up in the noggin'. Pro'bly absnent-minded or something. I heard he's been spending a bit too much time studying, researching, and coming up with crackpot theories about 1,000 year old doors. Kirb, would probably be too scared of the guy. The two eventually spotted the green warp pipe by the dusty house when Grey, a character they vaguely recognized, began to descend into it. Zap headed over to the pipe to inspect it, but Teddylot began to shuffle through his pockets for something. Teddylot: *pulls out a roll of toilet paper* Just for old times sake. The teddy wound up and launched the paper toward the house. He, however, undershot the roof and broke one of the windows with it. Teddylot: *runs around in circles* Holy crap! Run away! After a few circles, Teddylot ran toward Zap and quickly pushed him into the green pipe. The teddy looked over his shoulder a few times to make sure there were no nosy onlookers who were going to tattle on him. Teddylot: *lame gag* Pocahontaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas! ((Hey Grey, you might want to move. =P)) |

| Troy continued to descend into the complex, still remaining one step behind Kirby. Troy: I thought that clean-sewer comment was an exaggeration, but what can I say... Spotting Kirby as he finished dealing with the goomba group, he ducked behind the nearest pillar, waiting for him to disappear into the pipe. Troy: Okay, something is definately up with that old fart and that map... oddly enough... I think I'm going to have to keep an eye on these guys... |

| Kirby made his way over to the pipe, the only pipe that seems to be in his range, at the moment. He looked inside of the green plumbing, cringing at what could possibly lie inside. Kirby: The things I do.... And with that, Kirby dove into the pipe, feet first, of course. The spikey headed lad gave out a shout as he slid down the pipe. There was a bit of a horizontal slant as he rolled out the end of the pipe. He continued to roll and roll until he hit a wall. Kirby: Ow! Argh... I don't know how Mario can travel through pipes... It's very painful... Hm.. Now where the heck am I? I feel like I stepped into some kinda lost civilization. There's some more marble and concrete... Guess there's some wallpaper... What's this now? A strange grey crature, about a foot high, stared at Kirby. It had tiny stick-like legs, two large eyes, and a glowing ball at the end of its antennae. Kirby took a step forward, and the creature dashed off into a nearby hole in the wall. Kirby: Ugh... well.. whatever... Hm.. Where could that old man run off to? |

| The sound of a loud explosion shook the room around Kirby, and a wave of black smoke rolled out of a door on a high ledge, the smoke quickly rolling over the giant yellow block against the ledge. A middle-aged man stumbled out of the door, hacking and coughing. As the smoke cleared, the man spotted Kirby and waved towards him. Between his coughing, he asked, "You lookin' for something?" He was dressed as most of the people in the town above. |
