Kirby lets out a little whine before he presses the button. Grubba's face appears on the screen.

>>>>>>>

Grubba: And... The Spiked Terror Triplets.... Yep, a fight to the finish with the Pokey Triplets!

Pokey: Go ahead.... Touch ussssssss...... It won't hurrrrrrrrrrt..... too muchhhhhhh....

>>>>>>>

Grubba: And... The Bone-Banging Rockers... Yep, a fight to the finish with The Dead Bones!

Dull Bones: We'll tear the skin right off your bones....

>>>>>>>

Grubba: And... The Midnight Spike-Bombers.... Spike Storm!

Lakitu: We're gonna spike-bomb you into submission, punks!

>>>>>>

Jolene: Here's your fight money.

Jolene hands a sackful of gold coins to Kirby.

Jolene: Seven coins each, and everyone ranks up to 15. Now, if you'll excuse me... I must be going.

Supa Dreamlander: Good God! We've had five matches nonstop! I don't care right now, I'm declaring it BREAKTIME. You guys can go on ahead and keep fight, if you want, but Imma get myself some refreshment.

Supa Dreamlander: You guys are right about that... I mean.. come on.. No special moves when we went against Pokeys? Don't attack for the first few minutes? Ehh...

King K seems to have been listening to the conversation for a bit. He walks towards Kirby with a grin.

King K: Hey, man, check this: I heard the Hot Dog Stand outside's gettin' a new menu item. Yeah, sounds like it's some crazy Hot Dog made with an egg from a southern island. Some fool was even sayin' the Hot Dog'll help you win fights! You oughta snack out on one!

Supa Dreamlander: That's a good idea, King K. Thanks. Of course, the hot dog stand was where I was heading for....

Kirby stretched for a second before walking towards the door. He was sure he had enough money for a hot dog now.

He then stepped back in and looked at Jack.


Supa Dreamlander: Jack, you might not want to step out there for another minute. There seems to be one of those judges on chocobos standing outside...

Kirby headed back out into the hallway. The security guards were all doing their job as usual: standing infront of every door, making sure no one gets through unless they're supposed to.

Kirby wondered how long would he be able to get away with attacking one of the guards. All the security guards looked pretty beefy in their "Secret Service" suits. He also wondered what kind of species they were... Were they from some Bean Kingdom or something?

Just then, a french femme's voice broke through the costumed lad's thought bubble.He realized he was standing in the middle of the front lobby.


Harle: You are doing terrific, "Supa Dreamlandaire".

Kirby smiled nervously. It seems he caught the crazy lady's eye even in disguise.

Supa Dreamlander: Er.. Just needing a way to keep my skills honed, citizen.

Harle: Hmm mmm mmm mm! I see! I shall root for you, zen.

Kirby let out a sigh as he walked out the lobby.

Grey sat and hungered for some delicious southern fried egg hot dog, as one of King's terrapin pals approached him cautiously.

Unknown Terrapin: "'ey there... Yer pretty strong."

He stared through his shades at the shaking pocket of Grey's vest, the recent result of Grey being forced eventually to use his newfound powers in the gauntlet of fights the group had gone through. Grey's eyes, though closed, traveled over the koopa's body. His shell, one of glittering gold, sparked a remembrance of more lost knowledge from Grey's messed up memories.

Grey: "Yahuh. Dunno why we're wasting our time here..."

UT: "Stronger than us, eh?"

Grey: "Not what your King says."

UT: "Him? Ah, 'e's jus' talkin' smoke. We been ranked second lowest for a darn good reason. We ain't up ta snuff wit' da rest o' da crews here. You shoulda' known dat right from da way ya handled us wit' dat gem 'o yers."

Grey opened a single eye, turning his second sight off for a moment. He could see right through the Koopa's ruse. He was asking for something.

Grey: "You're a Koopahari, aren't you?"

UT: "Eh? Er..."

Grey: "A descendant of the nomadic Koopahari, anyway. Your gold shell gives it away. They scattered dust whereever their feet hit the earth. The legends say that their travels in the hot suns of the desert were what filled it with its sand. Science says they evolved to be able to withstand the heat of the sun by way of their reflective, lightly-colored shells. That's quite some heritage."

The koopa was taken aback by this sudden analysis, and retorted angrily, his shades glimmering in the dull light of the locker room.

UT: "Wha? Yer crazy! I ain't no sand koop! King jus' likes 'is bling!"

Grey: "!"

Having been completely shut down by this assertion, Grey's eyes opened widely for a moment, and glanced at the nameless koopa. His face was scowled. He was clearly a young turtle, but the look in his eyes was familiar, somehow...

"Hum. Okay, then where are you from?"

The koopa puffed out his chest (well, about as well as a terrapin can) and pounded it with a prideful fist.

UT: "Monstro town! The one an' only!"

Grey: "Eh? You're a fighter from Monstro Town..."

UT: "All of us are! Yer standin' on our pride there, thinkin' we ain't from no other place!"

Grey: "I.... see. So what brings you from a place like that to the Glitz Pit, hm?"

Grey was slightly interested now. He was beginning to recognize where that stern look had come from. But it wasn't very likely at all, was it...?

UT: "Kicks, mostly! An' da money. Da families over in da town ain't doin' too well. Mos' of us monstas've been kicked outta our houses so's our parents kin pay da rent! We ain't got no place ta go, so we's puttin' our skills ta good use here in da Glitz Pit."

Grey: "Skills...? You mean fighting, right? Who taught you?"

UT: "Only da best!"

Grey raised an eyebrow. Jinx? He echoed his statement.

"Heck naws! Jinx's been gone fer years 'round there. Afta 'is old dojo was taken ova by dat Mario guy, 'e left an' went off ta train in some barrel somewheres. 'is disciple, Jagger, took over from dere an' taught us'ns all 'e knows!"

Grey blinked. The Jagger? And yet they lost so easily...?

Grey: "Jagger taught you? The greatest Martial Artist in the Koopa Troop, the true disciple of the teachings of the Mario/Jinx dojo, taught a group of fighters like you, who can barely get off their shells when they get knocked on their back? Are you serious?"

UT: "HEY! You neva' saws us even throw a punch! Ya cheated an' used dat huge rock thing an' kicked our butts before we could gets us a blow off! It's always da same way, wit' dat losa' Grubba takin' away alls our chances fer victory! He ain't neva let us win a fight of our own accord! If'n we 'adn't taken our own pride and given those dang Goombas what fer, we'd still be bottom ranked!"

Grey sat up straighter now, genuinely interested in his new friend's plight. Were they trapped here via contract, too?

Grey: "So what do you intend on doing about it...?"

UT: "Eh? Nothin' nows! King's about ready ta jus' walk out an' break da group apart! He wants ta jus' go back ta Monstro Town an' give 'em all our winnins', too. Where's dat leave me 'n Barry? Eh? Penniless, 'cause none of us wanna say no ta da homeland. I ain't gonna have no place ta go, an I ain't happy 'bout bein' a lone fighter in a hole like 'dis place. Barry's lucky, 'e's got himself a job lined up wit da mail carryin' service, soon as he heals up from gettin' 'is wings knocked off by youse guys."

Grey: "I see... Hrm, ok."

Grey stood up, towering over the smaller fellow and motioning for him to follow as he walked to the door.

"Come on, I'll buy you a hot dog. We'll talk more about this."

The koopa followed reluctantly...

"What's your name?"

The koopa stopped for a moment, considered, and continued walking beside Grey, his head just barely reaching Grey's waist.

UT: "Me? Eh, call me Sig."

Grey: "Ok, Sig. Let's go."

They exited the locker room and went outside to get some delicious hot dogs.

Kirby stretched once more, and was ready to soak in the sun, when he realized that the sun was gone. Just the moons hovering the three buildings on Glitzville. Straight infront of him was the clearing for blimp goers. On the left was the "Fresh Juice Bar". He should stop by sometime.

On his right stood the item and souvenier shop. The hot dog stand was right next to the shop. Unfortunately, it didn't sound like he was going to be getting a hot dog within the minute.


???: Nooooo! Bad! So very baaaad! Behave yourself, egg!

Supa Dreamlander: .. The hell?

Kirby looks over in the direction of the hot dog stand, and notices the piggy vendor's freaking out. An egg with muli colored spots is leaping all over the place. The vendor tries several attempts to catch the egg, but it keeps slipping out of his grasp.

Supa Dreamlander: Ain't it kinda ironic that a pig's trying to do one of those.. uh... creature catching things..?

Hoggle: Agh! My imported delicacy! Someone please help capture egg!

Supa Dreamlander: *sighs* And here I thought I was gonna have an easy meal...

Suddenly, Jack appeared right next to the egg and caught it. Before anyone could ask how he did this, he explained.

Jack: I am ninja.

Fem: Enough with the ninja.

Kirby promptly smacked Jack in the back of his head.

Supa Dreamlander: Quit making ninjas look lame!

Of course, the egg slipped out of Jack's grasp. The egg bounced off of Kirby's face, and kept on bouncing around, terrorizing the people. There was a disastisfied look on the caped crusader's face as he wiped a large amount of grease off of his face.

Supa Dreamlander: ... Mr. Hot Dog Vendor.. Please don't tell me you actually greased up the egg.

Hoggle: How else do you cook?

The egg started bouncing in and out of buildings, and off of walls, with the piggy vendor still trying to catch it.

Hoggle: So bad! It does not have arms and legs, and still I cannot catch! My menu was to have the Southern Fried Egg Dog of Tastiness, but now... Bad!

Supa Dreamlander: After seeing.. that egg jumping around, I don't think I'm in the mood for that specalty item.

Hoggle: Ohh! I ordered that naughty egg from island in south! Shipping was paid, and it was a lot! Do not just stand there! Help catch the egg, yes?

Supa Dreamlander: Just wait for the freakin' thing to calm down, geeze.

Kirby then throws a yellow flag at Jack.

Supa Dreamlander: No ninja hijinx!

Grey and his reptilian companion happened upon quite a scene as they neared the hot dog stand. The piggish fellow who ran the stand was chasing around a greasy egg that leapt to and fro from shelf to shelf while being pursued by Kirby and Jack. Grey put a hand to the back of his head and scratched characteristically.

Grey: "Huh... I don't think we wanna mess with a scene like this. Too much sidequest, not enough delicious hot dog."

Sig: "Eh?"

Grey: "Er, it's a fourth wall joke."

Sig: "A what?"

Grey: "....Nevermind. Juice bar, then?"

Grey pointed over at the important-looking secondary shop to the hot dog stand, which seemed to be one of the few enterable structures in the area. The whole world was paper-thin, he thought... Seriously. Sig, however, had other plans.

Sig: "Youse kin do dat, I'ma go visit me ol' buddy Bandy Andy ova dere fer a whiles. Da higherups're right, 'e's always up ta somethin' good. Say we meet back 'ere, an hours're two?"

Grey: "You're nigh-impossible to understand, but ok."

The two split paths, and Grey walked into the juice bar to get some only slightly less delicious juice as Sig toddled into the alleyway where Bandy Andy was poring over... well, something or other.

Sig: "Andy, eh! 'Sup taday?"

Eventually, the egg bounced off of the vendor's face and landed ontop of the hot dog vendor's stand.

Hoggle: MOST AWFULLY BAD! Come down from there, bad egg! How am I supposed to get it now? FLY there?!?

Kirby just stared at the piggy vendor and stifled a laugh.

Hoggle: Someone! One of you! Do not just stand! Get the egg down!

Kirby looked up at the egg, and noticed it had stopped jumping around. He then looked at Jack

Supa Dreamlander: As much as I know that you or Fem can retrieve it, lemme try grabbing it. I've got an idea.

Kirby ran at the building next to the hot dog stand. He jumped into the air, and kicked off the wall, landing right next to the egg.

He then unties his red cape off of his neck. Kirby squats down and wraps the egg in the cape, and picks it up.


Supa Dreamlander: No slipsies, see? Now, Mr. Hot Dog vendor, I think you should next time NOT grease the egg up...... Hm? I.. think I can.. hear it sleeping..

--------------------------------

The inside of the bar was filled with a rather friendly atmostphere. The lighting was perfect, and the seats were comfortable. There were lots of blenders on the counters filled with all sorts of juices.

Over in the corner were two fight fans bickering over past and present champions. The owner of the shop, obviously from Beanbean Kingdom, was washing some glasses with his trusty cloth. The vaguely familar blue rhino in tacky, 70's fashion, Dupree, was thinking of a way get his mack on with the Toad girl in the corner.

The Toad girl in the corner is as pretty as she is mysterious. She's donned in a black dress and black heels, with a bit of blonde hair stylishly sticking out the front of her mushroom cap.


Barkeeper: Welcome to the Fresh Juice Bar. What can I get for you today?

------------------------------

Bandy Andy: Hey there, buddy. Caught me when I was doing a little.... research.

Bandy Andy was standing next to a box full of props in the Glitz Pit halls. There wasn't anyone else in the hallway except for the security guards, but they were all outside Bandy's voice's range.

Bandy Andy: Hey, speaking of which... Ever hear of the "Seven Wonders of the Glitz Pit"? This place has rumors and secrets in spades, but... The Seven Wonders of the Glitz Pit are the most mysterious of the bunch. These things fascinate me, so I wander around doing research on them, heh.

Sig: "Research, eh... Let's see what yeh've got 'ere..."

Sig began to search through what little Andy had gathered thus far... And it was pretty much almost nothing. Just a list of what they might have been, and a few pieces of what looked like dried tissue paper.

"Ergh, yeh've got nothin'. What d'you need ta get started off?"

---------------

With such a cadre of choices before him, Grey had little to no way of deciding how to approach such a new place, so he acted purely on instinct.

Well, I guess if he had acted on instinct he'd have probably been in a very awkward position regarding the young woman in the corner. Perhaps he acted on good reason? Either way, he strolled up to the bar and asked the barkeep for a menu.

((Sorry for hijacking your character, Teddylot. But it's for a good cause. Funnyness. ;; ))

Teddylot: Who cares? Let there be hot dogs!

Kirby realized he had a hitchhiker on his head as he stood up.

Supa Dreamlander: Fine time for you to finally show up. Aren't you creeped out by the little guy jumping around like that? I'm setting him free.

Teddylot: Awww... .-.

Supa Dreamlander: Hey, you hear that, Mr. Hot Dog Stand Guy?

Hoggle: Ahhhh fine! The people won't eat stuff that jump all over place.

Supa Dreamlander: Awesome! Didja hear that, little eggy-weggy?! You're free!

Kirby twirled around with the egg in his hands. He stops spinning when he realizes something.

Supa Dreamlander: .. Erm... Wait... It's far too dangerous for me to keep my eyes off of this thing...

Kirby looks up, glancing at Teddylot.

Supa Dreamlander: I'm not too keen on darwinism coming into effect after I went through all this trouble.

Teddylot:

------------------------

Bandy Andy: Heh heh heh... Anything, man. Just looking around.. seeing anything suspicious. Of course, you've gotta make sure little miss snippy manager isn't around, or else she'll get on your case.

The list consisted of seven things, of course:
  • The Sealed Wall
  • The Man-Eating Toilet
  • The Stairs of Mystery
  • The Haunted Boudoir
  • The Spooky Ring-Lights
  • The Missing Ones
  • Grubba and Jolene

    Bandy Andy: I was tryin' to make sure Jolene wasn't around, but I lost track of her ever since she went to the bathroom. *shrugs*

    -------------------------

    Barkeeper: Eh.. Haven't seen you 'round here.

    The barkeeper slides a menu over to Grey. On the front of the menu had the popular drinks and mixes, such as Peach Pineapple, and the infamous Rainbow Slush. On the inside of the menu booklet had a table, with flavors and mixture methods, and the pricing of each.

    Barkeeper: You're one of the new fighters that's been movin' on up, right? Something... Grey, right? I've been liking the way you're doin' things. Might even get that lass over there to talk about something aside from the former champion, Prince Mush.

    Grey looked the menu over with interest. That Peach Pineapple sounded tangy and delicious, but the Grape Grenades seemed like some kind of deadly concoction... And what the hell was a Cranberry Crush? Some of these sounded like rejected Hawaiian Punch names. He closed his eyes, and pressed his finger onto a single name on the menu, letting his second sight guide him, and showed the bartender what he ordered. The 'tender raised an eyebrow, and went to work. Only fate could tell now...

    Grey: "I somewhat have a bad feeling about this..."

    ---------------

    Sig was a little perplexed at some of the names, remembering them as remarkably similar to a world that a friend of a friend of a friend of his family had once described. Some kind of town of night, and a koopa with a sword that looked like a skeleton key. He nodded a few times at Andy's words, and agreed to begin a small investigation. Jolene trusted him not to cause too much trouble... For the most part. He high-fived, in a manner that does quite defy physics and get into anatomies that are best left undescribed, his buddy and set off back to the Glitz Pit. And considering a sudden urge he had just gotten, the best place to investigate suddenly seemed like the bathroom. Man eating toilets, eh? Not on Sig's watch.

    Kirby climbed down from the top of the hot dog stand, being careful not to shake the egg too much. It suddenly hit him.

    Supa Dreamlander: Dang, with all this grease, I'm gonna have to clean the cape.

    Hoggle: Why not try hot dog? It will make you forget all trouble, yes?

    Supa Dreamlander: ... I have to admit, sir, I'm not in the mood for a hot dog after seeing this.

    Hoggle: My hot dogs have been popular for decades!

    Supa Dreamlander: That's got nothing to... Look, you know what, I'll buy a hot dog tomorrow, when I'm sure I won't feel suspicius taking a bite out of one. I'm just gonna go get me something to drink and get something from a vending machine.

    Kirby let out a sigh as he started to walk.

    Supa Dreamlander: Oh, crud. I just realized something... How am I gonna look after this egg while I'm fighting?

    ---------------------------------

    Grey soon felt his back being heavily patted as the tacky, blue rhino man sat down besides him.

    Dupree: Honh honh! Zis man shall be having ze Super Punch!

    Barkeeper: Not original, but eh.

    The barkeeper bent down to grab some random fruits and started blending away. The rhino with the big, pink afro gave out a hearty laugh while looking at Grey.

    Dupree: I believe it eez fate that haz led you here. I remembere seeing you at Fungeria. You had helped save a man. And I believe you are here to help moi. See zat beautiful madomoiselle in ze cornere? She eez like a ravishing, but thorny, red rose, honh? Oui, she is thorny... Do you zink you can, how do you say, put een a goo-d werd for me, honh honh?

    -------------------------

    There wasn't many people in the lobby, which would also mean there wouldn't be a soul in the bathrooms.

    It was said that in one of the arena's bathrooms, a man-eating toilet lurks. Some say that anyone who sees this toilet never sees anything again.

    It may be a preposterous myth, but there are usually some truths behind legends...

    Authorities were quickly reported about Troy, as a stolen speedboat tore away from Rogueport at 200 miles an hour. In it was endless stacks of papers, envelopes and removed staples, which poured out of the back in the wind. Troy would know what to say when he was caught. Rogueport was not the cleanliest place, and the contagious "Offline Trance" had quickly ate away at his sanity in his five minutes there.

    Troy twitched the yoke back and forth trying to keep the boat from flipping, in the meanwhile tearing open another envelope with his teeth. He dumped the stapled papers inside into one hand, shaking them out to read.

    Troy : ...okay, next part... Kirby and company found themselves in a land filled with a monocrhomatic layout. The trees, grass, rivers, everything was in black and white. They were definitely standing out, and were barely noticed by a trio of ninjas, calling themselves the Shinobi Sirens. Uhh, 'kay... *flips page* The Boggly Tree, home to the Puni creatures, was taken over by X-Nauts. *flips page* Gahlad and Ultimanium looked up just in time to see the robot vaulting off its three remaining limbs into the air above them. Waitasec... that's not... *flips page* The location of the party is in the residential distract of Neo Grape Gardens, southern tip of the floating island. That's not it... *flips page* Chaos reached out with one of his huge hands, shaking Drex's weakly. Argh. *flips page* Cloud slowly began to stroke Sephiroth's... oh, wrong address... *flips page* Damn it, if Kirb would send ULTY's stuff to ULTY, and C'AOS's stuff to C'AOS, and MELVIN'S stuff to MELVIN, I wouldn't be HAVING this pro- OKAY, here we go...

    Troy shook a paper out of the book - a map, with a small island nearby circled in messy red marker. GLITZVILLE was written in barely legible writing.

    Troy : Aight. I gotcha.

    And as soon as Troy learned about the location, a sign, attached to a tall bouy, came into view.

    "Glitzville, next up."

    And then there was another sign.

    "You're approaching Glitzville."

    And another.

    "If you haven't seen it now, stop moving and look up, idiot."

    Whether or not Troy actually stoppped the boat, a strange, large fish leapt into the vehicle.

    Plot Manfish: 'Hoy, smallfry! I hears yer tryin' to get ta the floatin' island of entertainment up there. Make it worth my while, and I'll lead ya ta some invisible floating block that'll get ya up there in no time.....

    ------------------------------------

    Kirby glanced at the others. There was a dull look in his eyes, but it wasn't seen, thanks to the sunglasses.

    Supa Dreamlander: So much for getting input. Hum... Maybe I can take advantage of Smithy's OT and turn on a paternal defense system or something...

    Kirby held the egg close to his chest as he fumbled around with the Fresh Juice Bar's doorknob. As soon as he finally got the door opened, he looked around. His eyes fell immediately upon the blue rhino with the pink afro.

    He started to lose the urge to even be outside of the Glitz Pit arena.

    Troy : Well excuuuuuse me, but I think I should be able to get u...

    Troy stared up. The pier support inches from the starboard of the boat stretched upwards towards the docking platform 200 feet above. Troy kept grumbling to himself, turning the map in his hands back and forth and upside down again.

    Troy : "The AIRship dock can be found on the west side of the isl..." Oh for frigging h... okay, okay, whatever, just get me up there. Make it snappy.

    Troy grabbed the half-eaten jumbo bag of BBQ chips in the seat next to him, emptying it into the water.

    Plot Manfish: Ooooh! BBQ! Mah fave!!

    The fish leapt back into the water, and started gobbling up the chips. He popped his head above the surface of the water, and glanced at Troy.

    Plot Manfish: Chey! S'pose ya want to get ta get up there now, huh? Alrighty, kid. Just gimme a moment ta remember...... Ah! It's gotta be...

    The fish sank into the water. A second later, the ugly creature leapt out of the ocean, and bonked its head into a floating, metallic block, which seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. The head of a pirahna plant slowly rose out of the block. One moment later, the rest of its body appeared.

    Plot Manfish: It's a new species. Got one of those rocket things for a body. Ya just grab onto it, and ya'll fly right on up there! Oooh.. There's a chip I missed...

    The rocket pirahna plant hybrid didn't look too natural.. but what else are you gonna do? The Plot Filler Gims get easily rusted in the ocean...

    Kirby slowly started walking up to the bar, but his ear was still in another place. He over heard one person rambling on about Rawk Hawk and his little group of Flock of Rawness. There was a mention of someone by the name of "Prince Mush", which seemed to have sparked a reaction from the mysterious woman in the corner.

    Kirby looked to his sides, and then behind him.


    Supa Dreamlander: No one's gonna notice me playing a typical hero.. Excuse me there, ma'am. You seem to know something about... the champion.

    Mysterious Woman: The champion... Rawk Hawk... He's showy, but all that sparkles is not gold, they say. Perhaps you know, but he's a recent champion of the Glitz Pit... The Sparkle of the first champion.. Prince Mush... Now THAT was real.... But... Such a tragedy... Prince Mush disappeared, never to return... Many still believe Prince Much may make a magnificent comback someday...

    Supa Dreamlander: *thinking* ~Wow, she really did know something.... Atleast I've figured that giant chicken's not going to be trouble...~
