| The jetpack exploded, forcing the Gundanium Cleft onto the floor. He was a bit freaked out from the sudden descent, but otherwise unscathed. He turned around and glared at Jack.
Red Adonis: Why you little-- Green Adonis: Don't worry about him! I still have mine. You take care of the other one. He won't be able to move around in the small halls. Red Adonis: Right! The Adonis twin with red boots turned around again and started marching towards the doors again. Meanwhile, the other twin was already charging up his pack. Green Adonis: You might have gotten him, but you won't get me! And then, he took off towards Jack. |

| Jack: Pfft.
Jack moved to the left, causing the foolish cleft to move right past him. Jack: That jetpack may give you some limited flight capabilities, but you're still have the maneuverability of a rock. |

| Troy's armor pulsed a soft green again, and he stood stone-still as his eyes flitted about.
Troy : (Supersonic image ahead... no, what's that behind him... no, that's a shadow, then what's he... but those vibrations in the floor... that means he's... HA!) The empty bags of peanuts in the aisles lifted off the ground for a moment as Sig and Troy crossed each other, creating a turbulent air. It was still too sudden however, and the attack glanced off Troy's torso, knocking the wind out of him and sending him into an uncontrollable spin to the corner of the arena. Troy : S-Shark Bite! Troy hunched down, slamming the tip of his dagger against the padded floor. A small section of it exploded outwards as the blade gripped a good foot into the material, and Troy hung on for dear life as he continued to spin. Troy : (...you're sure fond of your special attacks, aren't ya... I wonder how long you'll be able to keep dishing them out, likely not long enough to realize that this form is strictly for evasion...) Troy unveiled a second dagger, stabbing it into the ground. He jarred to a halt, and ripped the other out of the ground - releasing the energy in a shockwave that tore across the floor back at Sig. |

| Green Adonis: Mock me all you want, it's only a matter of time before you screw up!
The Gundam Adonis twin hovered a bit higher into the air. He then faced Jack, and went into a dive bomb. The Gundam Cleft, taking note of Jack moving out of the way the first time, planted his feet into the ground as he went past the feathered man. He then turned his body and charged towards Jack. Meanwhile, Kirby was busy in the Glitzpit's halls, throwing everything he could bless at the Gundam Adonis twin with red boots. Red Adonis: Buh huh huh huh huh! You can't move around as much in this cramped place, huh? Supa Dreamlander: You just keep laughing. Red Adonis: Buh huh huh! I think I will! But first, I feel like smashing you into another room again. Kirby slowly stepped backwards, looking up every so often as his attacker charged towards him. After a few moments, Kirby jumped into the air, and pulled out a light fixture's wiring. He brought down the wiring onto the Gundam Cleft, hoping to give it a shocking of a lifetime. Unfortunately, it was no good, as the monster continued charging forward, smash Kirby into another room... Grubba: Galloping Gulpits! Supa Dreamlander just made a cameo appearance by crashin' in the center of the ring, folks! What in the hey is goin' on? Supa Dreamlander: License... truck... someone? 
Red Adonis: I'm not done with you yet! The Gundam Cleft started ripping through the audience to get to the fighting platform. Grubba: Ah don't believe mah eyes, folks! One of Gundam Adonis Twins is in a rage! (edited by Kirbynite on 08-06-06 11:15 PM) |

| Sig crossed his arms in front of him, and the shockwave hit him as he set up what seemed like a guard stance from a cheesy 2D fighting game. He was thrown backwards, and it was then revealed that he actually hadn't protected himself at all: He just flinched. Sig scrabbled to his feet, and looked down at his shell. The gold plating on it had cracked.
Sig: "Aw, I know ya didn' jus' do dat! King's gonna smack ya up proper if'n 'e ever 'ears 'bout it!" Sig's shades scowled downward with his eyes as he dashed straight at Troy, drawing his fist back and winding up for a punch. He pushed forward, and was about to swing at Troy's head, when suddenly Supa Dreamlander and the Gundam Adonis blasted at him and slammed him, with a two-body tackle, into the floor of the arena. He quickly bounced upward, landed on his feet, and grimaced at another crack in his beloved shell. "........." His exp "'Dat's it. Now I'm mad." --------------- Grey raced after the Red Adonis, leaving Jack and Fem to deal with the Green. His bat exploded from nothingness into his hand, and he ran like a madman down the hallway that Red and Kirby had flown through. Following the wake of their destruction, he leapt into the arena amidst a hail of cheers for Supa Dreamlander and Gundam Adonis' appearance in the middle of an otherwise minor-league fight. He grinned, and knew he was in his element. Grey: "Yeeha! I see we're already famous!" |

| Expecting this, Jack lept straight up into the air, and stayed there.
Jack: Too slow. Fem: So why are we just toying with this guy? Jack: He's made of Gundanium. Or his outter layer is, anyway. Fem: Ah. |

| Green Adonis: Bah! Screw this! My beef is with Supa Dreamlander.
The Gundam Cleft sticks his tounge out (?!?) and started to hover towards the broken door. ----------------------------------- Grubba: What in tarnation do you folks think you're doin'? Supa Dreamlander: The Iron Harriers picked a fight with us right after we had won the battle against the Goomlm Folk! Grubba: Say what? Grubba pulled out a small palm pilot-like device and pressed a few buttons. Grubba: Well dog mah cats! Ya'll did win. Red Adonis: Graah! Kirby swiftly moved out of the Gundam Adonis Twin's way, while quickly apologizing to Sig and Troy. Supa Dreamlander: Grey, I hope you brought a plan with you, because I've got none right now. |

| Grey: "Sure did. Home Run!!!"
He wound up his bat, which glowed with psychic force, and dashed at the Gundam Adonis, charging into him and swinging with all his might in an attempt to send the Cleft skyward! Needless to say, it didn't work. Grey's bat clanged against what we might as well call the spiked rock's skin and ricocheted back at him, sending him off balance and into the floor. "Well, that was a bust." He scrabbled to his feet, and looked helplessly on as a certain gold-shelled Koopa got very, very angry. Sig: "Ain't no need ta be apologizin', Supe. 'Dis 'ere no-good excuse fer a fighter ain't worth nothin' if'n 'e thinks 'e can jus' come in 'ere an' take us on!" Sig charged at the Adonis, bringing his full body weight to bear with his speed and retracting into his shell. He hurled himself at the Adonis, and bounced harmlessly off of him with a physical strike that would shatter a steel beam in two. Gundanium was fairly strong, it was. He flipped backwards, and his shell showed nothing more than another crack, this one larger than before. Sig bounced again and again against his newfound foe only to be less and less effective against the hardening outer skin of the cocky Rocky. The Adonis laughed out loud at Sig's efforts, and soon the Koopa began to tire. Red Adonis: "Hah! Foolish lizard. You have no place in the major leagues, and this does nothing more than prove it!" Sig panted as he bounced harmlessly off, one last time. His shell, cracked and broken now beyond rational repair, glittered against the spotlights of the arena, which until previously had barely kept up with his ramming. If the audience thought that this was a dramatization, they certainly weren't showing it, as a quick glance at the edges of everyone's seat would show. "That shell of yours is nothing more than ----" Sig: "'Dat shella mine is nothin' more'n an in'ibition." Red Adonis: "Eh?" The shell began to crack under its own weight, and slowly, chunk after chunk, fell from its owner's back. Pieces of plated gold fell to the mats with a dull clunking noise, and Sig himself grinned and pushed his shades up his snout. Sig: "It's like I said..." He took a step forward as soon as the shell had completely discarded itself from him, revealing him to be nothing more underneath than a standard frail-bodied Koopa, shorts and tanktop. It was noteworthy, however, to mention that a piece of gold the size and shape of Sig's shell plating would presumably weigh approximately ninety pounds, and much more than that if one were to eliminate the middleman and assume that the shell was, in fact, made entirely of gold. It is also noteworthy to mention that Sig's body weight was only approximately fifty pounds. He demonstrated this sudden drop in body mass by disappearing and reappearing right in the Gundam Cleft's "face", lashing out with a fist and sending him flying into the stadium seating, as NPCs dashed conveniently out of the way of the meteor-like enemy. This was especially impressive when one considered how much larger and heavier the Adonis was than Sig, who looked like nothing more than a small child in compare. "...The shell ain't doin' nothin' but holdin' me back!" And so it was. Its pieces continued to shine in the spotlights of the arena, which had yet to figure out where Sig had dashed off to, like some kind of symbolic representation of a shed past. That, or a broken piece of really, really fine jewelery. What a shame. |

Supa Dreamlander: Ho... Holy cucco. I hope that was.. just a Bide. Troy, I think you should be thankful 
The Gundam Cleft's body bounced off the ground in what seemed like a car barrel rolling in an accident. Fortunately, the audience had moved out of the way of the hunk of metal coming their way. Red Adonis: Whoa... wow... What a trip.... ah.. As strange as it may seem, the metal monster was on his feet, without any signs of damage. Except for the floor and chairs; the chairs were shattered to pieces while the floor was dented and riddled with holes. Red Adonis: Hit me as hard as you like, it's still not going to work! Just then, the other brother stepped inside the main arena. Green Adonis: Big Bro! What's going on? Red Adonis: That jerk... uh.. whereever he is... just launched me into the air! Green Adonis: What? Really? That's amazing! But not even something like that will beat our ultra-tough bods! |

| Several guards outside tapped their ear-worn receivers, mumbling amongst themselves. They calmly shuffled around, several more appearing and waiting outside in the halls near the entry doors.
You know. Just in case. Predictably enough, the hall around the Sealed Room emptied out... ******** Troy shoved one of the discarded shell plates with his foot. Troy : (So he was bluffing the entire time. I haven't been trained fully with Thief form yet, I wouldn't have stood a chance in my current state... without burning off more Vast, at least...) |

| Supa Dreamlander: Finally, the other one's here!
Kirby jumped off the platform, and dashed straight up the center aisle. He bent down for a moment, swiping a pamphlet off the sticky floor. The Gundam Cleft in green boots notice the caped man dashing towards him, and started charging up his jetpack. Green Adonis: I don't know how you're still running, but don't think I'm not gonna take this chance to send you to the hospital! At a few yards away from the metal monster, Kirby turned his body slightly to the left, and took into the air. He bounded over the seats, and stuck his tounge out. Supa Dreamlander: Talk all you want, but you can't hit what you can't--GACK!!! Unfortunately for Kirby, he didn't seem to completely clear all of the chairs as his feet was caught by a seat. He was immediately snagged out of the air and was now face planted into the ground. The Gundam Cleft in the red boots started laughing at Kirby's misfortune. Green Adonis: Now's my chance! The younger Gundam Adonis twin turned his body so that he'd face Kirby. A grin ran across his metallic skin as the jetpack propelled him forward. However, Kirby pushed himself off the ground with enough force to launch him into the air, out of reach of the hunk of metal plowing through the chairs. Green Adonis: A tric-- Red Adonis: BROTHER! The jetpack engine was immediately killed, causing the Gundam Cleft to stumble across the ground, stopping right infront of his older brother. The Gundam Adonis Twins both let out a sigh and started laughing. The laughing stopped when a paper airplane became lodged into the jetpack, seting the device off. The force of the explosion caused the younger Cleft brother to ram into the other with enough force to render both barely concious. Red Adonis: Bluuuuuuuuuuuuuurgh..... We lost, after all that..... We reek.. Meanwhile, Kirby dusted his hands while balancing himself ontop of a chair. Supa Dreamlander: It seems that paper airplane curse was useful for something. Grubba: Hooooooooooooo-WEEEEEEEEEEEE! Ya'll just witnessed pure awesomeness! While the match was disqualified, ya'll won't be leaving without feeling amazed by these fighters! Kids don't even BLINK when the Gundam Adonis Twins barge in and attack! Whoo! TOUGH! They're too dang tough! Yeah, these kids are only bound for bigger things, folks! Until next time, everyone.... See ya! (Gotta get the place fixed up, you know?) (edited by Kirbynite on 08-10-06 10:50 PM) |

| Fem: THE GUNDAM WHAT?!
Before Fem could do anything hasty, a hypospray suddenly connected with her neck, injecting something or other into her bloodstream, and causing her to immediately lose consciousness. As she fell to the ground, the person holding the hypospray was revealed to be none other than Jack. Jack: Phew... That was close. |

| Security guards start to march into the east entrance while the audience is slowly walking out of any available exits. Grubba faces Troy and pats him on the back.
Grubba: Ah'm sorry Ah had to end the match. But Ah'm sure ya prefer to win in an interupted fight. Good luck next time, though, pard. Grubba turned to eastern side of the arena and started walking. Supa Dreamlander: Kinda extreme, weren't you, Jack?  On second thought, please don't answer that.
Megaman.EXE: "Supa Dreamlander"! You've got mail! Supa Dreamlander: Eh? At a time like this? Kirby starts walking towards Jack and the now sleeping Fem while pulling out his PET. Supa Dreamlander: "SmAsh tHe BlOcKaDe In ThE mInOr-LeAgUe LoCkEr RoOm. FrOm X" Hum.... (edited by Kirbynite on 08-10-06 11:27 PM) |

| Jack: Desperate times, and all. She'll understand.
Jack kneeled over his now-snoozing daughter, and pushed a button or two on the hypospray before once again pressing it to her neck. She slowly opened her eyes, and Jack proceded to help her up. Jack: Calmer now? Fem: Yeah... Jack: Alright. *turns to Supa Dreamlander* Now let's go investigate that e-mail. Fem: What e-mail? Jack: One he just got. While you were out. Fem: Okay. |

| Troy slumped out of the arena, his hands in the pockets of his armor. He glanced down to the end of the hallway, hearing muffled screams and hollers coming from the lobby door. Sighing his let his hands hang loose. His armor reverted back to nothing, transforming back into the blue shell with a soft pulse of light.
Troy : I suppose it was for the better... still, I didn't even manage to see where Sig went. Troy listened closely - for the cheers outside were now, obviously, the Supa Dreamlander's fan club... or fan horde. A grin slowly grew on his face. No one was around. Slowly he crept up to the opposite wall, whistling to himself as he knocked lightly on the drywall. After a few attempts, he found the hollow spot. Checking around himself one more time, his keyblade grew out of his hand, and he jammed it into the wall. Jerking around with it a bit, he eventually started to pry away the rotting drywall, and it crumbled to pieces in front of him - the hole was the shape of a door. Troy : Bingo. Storing the weapon back within himself he quickly climbed through the gap. He was in a dimly-lit room, barren for the exception of a computer covered in dust in the corner (making a very unhealthy grinding), and a large shelf containing dozens of lockboxes. Troy : ...maybe these are the fighter records or something... but why would they keep the room conce... A paper hanging off the top of the shelf caught Troy's eye. Looking for something to climb up with, he eventually grumbled and resorted to climbing the shelves. He planted his foot down on the bottom-most plank, and started to pull himself up to the next. *creak* Troy : Eep. The entire shelf fell forward, hitting the ground with a thunderous crash as it and all its belongings flattened Troy. As the dust cleared, Troy slowly stuck his head out from underneath the ruins. Troy : Pain. He reached up, grabbing the papers as they fell to the ground. They were all stapled together. Struggling to pull his other arm free from the wreckage, he started worming his way out from underneath, flipping the booklet open. Troy : ...this looks like an electric diagram... ohhh, these must be the schematics for the arena lighting system by the way it's drawn out. This must be where the Pit keeps its legal documents. Still, that doesn't explain why the wires go underne... Troy continued flipping through the pages, twitching as he slowly revealed the rest of the structure. Troy : ...I think Kirb needs to see this.

| Supa Dreamlander: Whew.. got away in time..
Kirby and the others escaped the Supa Dreamlander & Co. fans by slipping through the security guards who were amassed on the eastern side of the arena. Kirby noted that there were a lot more security guards than he thought. He walked a little too fast to be considered casual as he took a corner that led to the northen hallway. Bandy Andy was seen loitering around. Bandy Andy: Hey there, Supa D! What's shakin'? How's the majors treating you? Supa Dreamlander: Less homely. Busy right now. Sorry. The Bandit guy gave Kirby a quizzical look (as strange as it may sound due to the mask). Finally, the gang reached the corner leading to the western hallway. Kirby was taken aback, not by the lack of security guards, but at the massive dust cloud filling up the narrow area. Supa Dreamlander: Okay.. this ain't cool... Thankful of the cloth which hung from his neck, Kirby pulled his cape over his mouth as he stepped through the dust. He didn't feel like he was prepared to face whatever trouble the dust may bring. The caped crusader then noticed the room that was recently opened. Supa Dreamlander: Troy? What in the heck are you doing? |

| Troy stumbled out of the dust, clutching the papers to his chest. By now it was painfully obvious that he was going to be declared the culprit of the wanton vandalism... so he might as well have spat out what he found.
Troy : I... er... I went and... o-okay, lookit this... this is all the wiring for the lighting system in the main arena... you see, big towers, spotlights, match timer, all that jazz... but most of the electricity the place eats up gets pumped into some weird-looking machine beneath the platform, and only as a secondary power source at that. There's a larger receptacle somewhere down in that mess for a battery of some kind, no, not a battery, a really big ge- Troy quickly tossed the sheets down onto the rubble as a mixture of footsteps started clomping from around the corner. Troy : Someone's coming... *ahem* OH! How DREADFUL! What bozo put this cheap drywall in, drywall that would collapse when the shelves in the room behind it fell to the ground? |

| Kirby, as quickly as he could, snatched the papers from Troy as the Koopa seemed to have went into a panic attack.
Supa Dreamlander: .... Ergh, I'm not really wanting to understand all of this jazz this thing says.. It seems awfully complicated for a professional fighting arena like this... What is this room? Like an old closet? Kirby walked inside the room, but didn't go too far since Troy was still going about. Supa Dreamlander: Hey... these last sheets seem to have information about the Star Stone.. Someone else investigating these things besides us... And look at the photos. Kirby was just about to hand the papers over to Fem as Kirby realized that Jolene was standing right behind him. Jolene: You.. Mr. Dreamlander... all of you.. what are you all doing in here? Supa Dreamlander: Erm... Jolene: This is the minor-league's closet. Major-league athletes are forbidden in the minor league rooms. Even if they weren't, it's hardly appropriate to bash down our walls, hmmmmmmmmm? Supa Dreamlander: Eh heh heh heh 
Jolene snatches the piece of paper they had found. Jolene: I'll just be confiscating THIS, thank you very much. Supa Dreamlander: Hey... um... Jolene: Your fight money has been automatically transfered into your accounts. 18 coins each. Everyone ranks up to 7. I hope I won't hear that all of your are still loitering around when the repair crew comes by. Jolene, without batting an eye, marches out of the room and disappears into the hallway. Supa Dreamlander: .... Well, hey, atleast we know the Star Stone's here.... ;;(edited by Kirbynite on 08-13-06 03:46 AM) |

| Troy : But what kind of device would be in the Glitz Pit that distinctly requires a Star Stone for a power source? This could be trouble... obviously there are things about this place that the management does NOT want us to know about... I would dig right into all these safeboxes if I could, but getting kicked out of here wouldn't do me much good either. (edited by C`aos on 08-13-06 04:08 AM) |
