| Grey: "Ay, Kir--- er... SD? Hum... He seems enthralled with the ladies. You might wanna go ask the guy over in the corner. I'm not too good with the girls, meself."
He stares at the Super Punch that the barkeep passed over to him. It practically glowed with the light of way too many random fruits being tossed into a blender. And was that a little umbrella? Drinks with those in them tended to have a little more than just fermented sugar in them. Notwithstanding, Grey downed the drink regardless, tossing the sanctity of his health into the wind. --------------- Sig trudged further into the Lobby, keeping a careful watch for Jolene as he stole away into the lobby bathroom. Sig: "Man-eating toilet, eh...? Lucky I'm a Koopa." |

| All of a sudden, big ol' Grubba appeared infront of Sig.
Grubba: Hoo-WEEE! Ah'd advise not goin' in there. Mah dinner sorta made that place uninhabitable. Grubba walked past Sig and kept on moving. --------------------------- Supa Dreamlander walked over to Grey, holding out the large egg to the side. Supa Dreamlander: Hey, Grey. Imma head on back. Unlike others, I don't mind sleeping, and I don't mind sleeping in free beds. I also gotta clean out my cape. Full of grease that idiot vendor put on this egg. |

| Supa Dreamlander: Whoa! When'd you get here?! Erm... Well, I guess that's okay.. Well, I guess you can keep fighting.. Grubba seems to be infatuated with our group, so I'm sure he'll let you fight at this time of the.. uh.. twilight? Or.. you could... sleep out on the pavement... Um.. I think I saw some patches of grass out there...
Kirby walked over to the door, and tried his best to open it. After turning the knob, he pushed the door, and noticed something he didn't realie before. Supa Dreamlander: Or you could rent a room from that five star hotel that seemed to have suddenly grown out of the souvenier shop.  |

| Sig: "Argh, fergit this! I ain't scared of any o' this shit! (literally...)"
He pushed past Grubba's excessive mass and barged into the bathroom. He was greeted instantly with the stench of industrial cleaners and one-too-many Kiwi Koladas. Still he pressed on, entering the stall and staring down what could quite possibly be the most devastating sight in history. He grimaced, flushed the toilet, and proceeded to stare down what could be the second most devastating sight in history. --------------- Grey was enlightened. The Super Punch was delicious! Thick, without much of a tinge to his tart. He could feel everything about him perking up, like twenty cans of Mountain Dew at once, without any of the side effects. His mind seemed somehow focused, and he felt completely clean of any mental stress. It was almost as if his body had been temporarily transformed into a conduit of magical perfection. This state of being would be a million feet of awesome, if he used magic. Instead, he felt a delicious high, and merrily turned to Kirbynite, now clearly under the influence of what I guess one could call an antilethal drug. Grey: "Hey Kirb, how ya doin? Ooh, I should call you Supa Dreamlander, huh? Well, anyway it was nice of this barkeeper to give me this drink, it's almost as though I've never had anything like it before in my life, and that's saying a lot, since I have a lot of soda in my pack, and by the way have you talked to that girl over there, as she seems to be quite nice, nicer than a lot of the people we've met lately, and that's saying a lot, and speaking of saying a lot, you're not saying a lot at all, you should really say some more stuff, I want to say some more stuff, hey, where did you get that egg, and shouldn't we be getting delicious hot dogs right now, I could sure go for a delicious hot dog, it almost seems like the best thing in the world right now would be a delicious hot dog, but that egg is the egg that you have to put on the hot dog to make it a delicious hot dog that makes you able to win any fight but I feel like I could win a million fights in a row right now and have you talked to that girl over there, as she seems to be quite nice, nicer than a lot of the people we've met lately, and that's saying a lot, and speaking of saying a lot, you're not saying a lot at all, you should really say some more stuff, I want to say some more stuff, hey, where did you get that egg, and shouldn't we be getting delicious hot dogs right now, I could sure go for a delicious hot dog, it almost seems like the best thing in the world right now would be a delicious hot dog, but that egg is the egg that you have to put on the hot dog to make it a delicious hot dog that makes you able to win any fight but I feel like I could win a million fights in a row right now and have you talked to that girl over there, as she seems to be quite nice, nicer than a lot of the people we've met lately, and....." He continued to chatter incessantly as he followed Kirby out the door and back into the streets, paying no attention at all to the gigantic building that literally had popped up out of nowhere. |

| Kirby let out a whimper.
Supa Dreamlander: Ahum.. Hey.. Grey.. why don't you go fight in some matches? Maybe that'll.. like.. wear you out.
Kirby walked towards the Glitz Pit arena. He wasn't sure if he was going to be getting sleep, but it wouldn't hurt to try. ----------------- The toilet before Sig swirled around, sloshing around a disgusting concoction that looked potent enough to give birth. But nothing happened. |

| High above the city a small explosion could be seen, but not necessarily heard. Moments later Troy slammed down onto the road in a knelt position, the impact creating large crevices in the ground. Dusting himself off and ignoring the stares from bystanders, he stood up and began to walk away. His stride was interrupted as he started jumping out of the way of chunks of scrap metal and Pirahna stems that rained from the sky.
Troy : I think I pushed it a little hard. |

| People scattered as the bits and pieces collected on the ground. Kirby turned around, unable to ignore such a noise, and noticed Troy ducking out of the way.
Supa Dreamlander: Troy! Wait a minute... Troy? What're you.. I thought you were with-- Kirby looked to his side, and noticed a Dry Bones standing next to him. The costumed lad jumped at the sudden realization of having an undead koopa for a travel companion. He then proceeded to punt the skeleton into the horizon, all while still holding onto the egg. Supa Dreamlander: Er... Eh heh  Troy! Where have you been? You... were missed here. Especially the fans of this.. fine establishment. Er.. You know.. Your fans.  ; |

| Grey: "You know, that's an excellent idea!"
Grey dashed back into the Glitz Pit building, and proceeded to bump directly into Sig just as the gold-shelled Koopa stomped out of the bathroom. A hoax, was all... "Hey there Sig, how are you doing, I am fine, and I'm about to go into the Pit to fight like a hundred or so battles before I pass out from exhaustion off of this amazing high that I'm getting on that there Super Punch in the drink bar, I'd suggest you give it a try, it's really good, like one of those Kelo Kelo Koras that are out there, you can get a nice kick with those but I hear they're actually just frog urine distilled with sugar which is definitely a lie because it doesn't taste like frog urine not that I'd know what frog urine tastes like because I've never drank it!" Sig just kind of backed up a few feet, and Grey continued to ramble. He rambled all the way into the Locker Room, punched a few buttons on the console, and rambled back into the arena, all of which was done at a rather fast speed. Indeed, it was almost as if the arena was expecting him. Sig didn't move, and instead just stood there, blinking dumbfoundedly. |

| Grubba: Well, boy howdy! Fixin' for a fight, huh? Well, all righty, then! Lemme just see here.... Yer next opponent will be.... Ranked 14 in the Glitz Pit... The Hand-It-Overs! This'll be a four vee four fight. Now listen, son: in this battle, I want ya'll to wrap it up in three minutes or less. Ah got a date with a cute little chickadee in just a few, an' Ah don't wanna be late! Now get in there an' bring this puppy home quick!
The screen fades away. ------------------------------------------ Supa Dreamlander: Shoo! What am I thinking?! I agreed to be part of every fight in our team so that Grubba didn't have to think of a name for everyone until later. Come with me, you can yell at me for not noticing it wasn't you, and bring up why I'm in this costume later! Kirby grabbed Troy and ran inside the Glitz Pit. He ran as fast as he could to the halls behind the arena, and made it in time to see Grey just zip through the arena doors. Supa Dreamlander: Oh man, just in time. Grubba: Fer our next battle, we got the Merciless Executioners, SUPA DREAMLANDER AND CO.! And... The Grim Death Burglars.... The Hand-It-Overs! Kirby was almost out of breath as he climbed up the stairs onto the fighting platform. On the other side of the platform stood Bandy Andy and three other bandits. Supa Dreamlander: ... Oh CRUD! I forgot to put the egg down, and clean my cape!! Bandy Andy: Heh heh heh heh heh heh! We're awful quick, awful agile... and just plain awful! Grubba: Get yerselves ready to... BAAAAAAAATLE!

| Grey: "Awful quick, awful agile? More like just awful."
Timer: 0:00:00 Grey grinned like a man empowered as his comrades shuffled into the arena. The bell rang, there was a bright flash of green light, and several seconds after Grey disappeared, leaving a few blurs here and there around the arena, Bandy Andy and his comrades lay on the floormats of the arena, covered in black soot and bits of ice, now shattered into pieces on the flooring around them. Grey reappeared in front of his foes and comrades. This time, it wasn't an illusion. Timer: 0:05:39 "See what I mean? Awful." But wait, there's more... Barring the fact that it only took him 5.39 seconds to defeat his foes, a breakdown of Grey's moves should be taken into account, especially considering his nerves in previous fights. The answer, of course, lies within the Super Punch Grey drank only minutes before beating the asses of the four unfortunates that lay before him. Its combination of natural supplemental energies with one hell of a lot of sugar gave Grey what is essentially the ultimate sugar rush. When under the influence of sugar, a man with the mind of a child is much more apt to do foolish, or in many cases courageous, things. As such, it should be no surprise that Grey was able to dispatch his foes so easily. And now, for the play-by-play, slowed down to approximately 1/16th speed. Bell: "Diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggg!" Timer: 0:00:00 Grey dashed forward, a green light surrounding his entire body as he filled himself with psychic energies. Bandy Andy and his crew began the long, agonizingly slow process of blinking. Grey leaped into the air, holding his hands in front of him as they glowed red with the jets of flame that erupted from their fingertips! Timer: 0:00:51 Grey: "PKFireAlphaPKFireAlphaPKFireAlphaPKFireAlpha!!!" Spamming a low-powered version of the burning flames, Grey blasted his foes with four separate attacks, one for each of them. They cooked for a half-second more, as Grey landed behind him, and held his hands in a gun-like shape, pointing at each of them in turn and launching a blast of freezing air at each of the burning targets! Timer: 0:01:24 "PKFreezeBetaPKFreezeBetaPKFreezeBetaPKFreezeBeta!!!" The blasts stopped Bandy Andy and his crew mid-blink, freezing them in blocks of ice, which he proceeded to break into pieces. He held out his hand... Timer: 0:02:33 ...And the baseball bat appeared clenched in his fist, which he brought behind him in preparation. He dashed forward and around Bandy Andy's foursome, moving again across their formation in a straight line, slamming each block of ice with his bat as he passed, and releasing a smashing piledriver of a hit that cracked and shattered the frozen cases in one blow. Timer: 0:03:15 Grey skidded to a halt in front of the four, and the Star Stone popped out of his vest and into his hand, which punched the floormats of the arena in a dramatic, cinematic manner that no mortal man was sure to see with his eyes. An Earth Tremor was released without a word from Grey, knocking Bandy Andy's team into the air roughly. Grey focused his mind... Timer: 0:03:81 There was a bright glow of green light, like a flashing beacon of pure psychic energy. This was sure to tire Grey out, or at least balance out that high that he was still on. If pressure builds, the only way to be safe is to release it, after all. The light glowed from his very core, his brain surging as blood and neurochemicals interacted to produce an overwhelming degree of psychic force. At best, it was a fraction of what he could truly accomplish, but even the greatest sugar high would fail to unlock the ultimate potential of the human mind. The words of Amarao echoed in his head for an instant... "The brain constantly demands fructose..." ....So sickeningly sweet, the Punch was. The light faded for a moment. Grey's body became, for just an instant, a conduit of mental force. He extended his arms outward, and the glow at his core transfered to the palms of his hands... Grey: "PK Rockin...." The force released itself. Grey barely needed to control it now, it would curve upward and out of the arena in a brilliant rainbow of colors, maddening in their extremity and a fearsome sight for even the bravest men to lay eyes upon. "...BETA!!!" A multitude of sparking rays of light flew at The Hand-It-Overs, followed swiftly by two waves of semicircular light that knocked them, while still in the air, back to the floormats. There was, of course, a small explosion, but would it be truly necessary for what was essentially an attack straight at the mind? Nay. Timer: 0:05:39. Bell: "Ding Ding Ding Ding!" Grey: "See what I mean? Awful." He strode out of the arena, and there wasn't a whisper or gasp among the crowd as he did so. He passed Sig, who had witnessed the entire event. His jaw hung open, his shades lopsided on his face. Still, he didn't move. Grey straightened, his rush balanced, for the time being. One thing was for sure... ...He had to get himself some more of that Punch. |

| Grubba: Hoooooo-WEEEEE! Ah don't understand what jus' happened, but Ah know we'll get us a slow-mo on the big ol' screen there!
The screen had to go through several speeds before it was able to capture Grey in his act. At the end, confetti exploded onto the arena as the crowd went wild. Grubba: We got ourselves a winner! SUPAAAAAAAAAAA DREEEEEEEAMLANDER AND COMMMMMMMPANYYYYYYY! Supa Dreamlander: Geeze, man. ----------------- Kirby walked out of the arena and rushed Grey into the locker room. Supa Dreamlander: Hey, man. I think you need to lay off whatever you took before the match. I'm not sure if you're really meant to handle it
Jolene entered the room, holding onto a clipboard and a sack. Jolene: Here's your fight money. Jolene hands a sackful of gold coins to Teddylot, but was quickly snatched by Kirby. Jolene: Eight coins each, and everyone ranks up to 14. Now, if you'll excuse me... I must be going. |

| The door swung outwards once, inwards, and outwards again, allowing Troy to drag his partially-eaten vat of popcorn through.
Troy : After that spectacle, I'd be surprised if they didn't redo all the preliminary drug testing. *eerie silence* Troy : ...anyways, I'm here at the request of Kirb, and rushed here forfeiting my profitable venture as a Rogueport cargo crane operator (and my criminal record...) No need to fill me in on what's happening here, all I ask is that you take me back as a comrade in arms. More the merrier hm hm? |

| Supa Dreamlander: Of course! The more the merrier! And the faster things will go-- er... Uh.. The more.. fun will be had? Anyways, I'm gonna go to sleep while I still get a chance
Kirby started walking towards a bed in the corner of the locker room. Yes, he was ignoring the horrible condition the rest of the locker room was in. He then walked back and stepped close to Troy. Supa Dreamlander: Uh... Try an' ix-nay on the Irb-kay, mkay? Atleast 'till we're done with this. He then turned around and started walking back to his bed when a koopa in a yellow shell that wasn't Sig approached the group. King K: Hey, what's crackin', yo? You just finish beatin' down some poor fools or what? You lookin' good, peeps. Ol' King K wouldn't mind a little bit of your luck, man. Yeah, that'd be nice. ???: Get in there, you! The door swings up as Bandy Andy was dragged into the locker room by Jolene. Jolene: And to think, you were JUST beaten in a match! How many times do I have to tell you: that room is absolutely OFF-LIMITS! If you want to remain on our fight roster, you must follow the rules. And don't think I haven't noticed you following me. Stop that, too. It's creepy. If you don't obey the rules, we'll ban you from the Glitz Pit. Understood? Jolene stormed out of the room. Koopa K starts laughing and slaps his knee. Koopa K: Again, dude? Man, you just a MAGNET fo' trouble! Bandy Andy: Heh heh heh heh heh... Sorry, King K. Didn't mean to bring Queen Nag in here. Koopa K: Aw, don't sweat it, B-money. Jolene can take that 'tude and shove it up her nose. Why you always chasin' that girl, anyway, man? You got a little thing for her? Bandy Andy: Can it, K! |

| Grey: "Right... I admit, when I drank that stuff, it did feel like worlds were colliding there, for a second. I guess my metabolism isn't quite ready to handle some of the more exotic drinks here in the Glitz Pit."
With that story-based excuse out of the way, Grey flopped (rather roughly) down onto a locker room bench to relax for the moment. That sugar rush was going to come back to him in a few hours, so he figured he'd use the time where his body was at a normal level of energy to get some semblance of rest... With that, he began to doze off, ignoring the discomfort of the benches. Sig, on the other hand, barged into the locker room, having witnessed the entire spectacle. He rushed over to Bandy Andy, and inspected him for injuries. Sig: "Augh! Are ya ok, ol' buddy? There ain't no way no how those guys's coulda romped you that hard! I can't believe me eyes still! Y'all looks like ya got bashed like a Goomba back there! I'm surprised you ain't flat wit a hit like dat!" |

| Grey's words had taken a place into Kirby's mind. The idea of having a lot of energy without the need of scarfing down a whole table, and at a cheaper price. Sounds like a maxim tomatoe.
"I'll look into it tomorrow," Kirby thought. He waved his hand as he walked towards a bed, signaling goodnight to everyone. He plopped himself onto the nearest empty bed, and still didn't let go of the egg. Infact, he seemed to have curled around the egg. Bandy Andy: Heh heh heh.. Yeah, I'm okay. Always gotta have a bottle of First Aid Potion Spray nearby, you know? Yeah, that was some beating, but you get used to it when you're this close to the major league. That beating was almost as bad as the ones we had when the Armored Harriers came by. Ugh, what a nightmare. |

| Some time would pass before Grey 'woke up', so let's switch the focus a bit....
--------------- Sig continued to inspect his frazzled friend, and looked to and fro from Andy to Grey's improptu bed. Sig: "Yeah man, but 'ow'd 'e cause so much damage? Las' time 'e kicked me 'n da boss's butts 'e did it wit' sheer luck! It was dat stone 'o 'is... Da one dat shook da ground like a 'undred quakes back in Land's End! 'ee ain't no normal fighta! None o' dem are! Wit all dat ninja stuff 'is buddies were pullin', I'm bettin' 'ee's just the tip o' da iceberg! Theys gots ta be cheatin' or somethin'!" Suddenly, it hit him... That stone... "Cheatin'... I wonda..." |

| And so.. the morning came along. Kirby was feeling like a new man, especially after cleaning his cape. He was still holding onto the egg while he went over to the terminal, though...
Grubba: Well, boy howdy! Fixin' for a fight, huh? Well, all righty, then! Lemme just see here.... Yer next opponent will be.... Ranked 13 in the Glitz Pit... The Punk Rocks! You can have up to four in this fight. Now, listen... In this battle, Ah want you to let yer enemy get atleast three licks offa ya, okay? It's just so dang borin' when a match is too one-sided, you hear what Ah'm sayin'? Now get in there and kick some patootie! The screen fades away. Kirby gives everyone a rather vacant look. Of course, they couldn't see this from his sunglasses. Supa Dreamlander: .... (edited by Kirbynite on 07-04-06 01:02 AM) |

| Kirby notices Cleftor, who's walking out the door.
Supa Dreamlander: I personally don't like the idea of having a rock pelted at me. Okay, here's the plan. Kirby walks over to a grungy locker and pulls out boxing head protector and a mouth guard. He shoves the mouth guard into an OT'd Melvin's mouth, and slides the head protector on. Supa Dreamlander: I'll tether this rope from me to him.... And... Kirby squats down and presses some buttons on Melvin's boots. Melvin begins to hover off the ground a bit. Supa Dreamlander: There we go. No worries about who's gonna get hurt three times! |
