| Sig: "I ain't afraid of no ghosts!"
Sig leapt into the air at them, and landed on the first Dry Bones' head, taking the obvious approach and stomping on it to send it crumbling. He repeated the process without even touching the ground once, and bounced from undead turtle to undead turtle until all four of them lay in piles of bones at his feet. He snorted his victory, and was just about to go brag to Jolene about how awesome he was when they suddenly shook from the ground and reassembled themselves, much to Sig's dismay. Fine then, he thought. If that was the way they wanted to play... Bones: "Ha, you can't bring us down! We're already six feet under!" Naturally, this made Sig somewhat angry. He didn't like being mocked. Before they could even huck a bone at him, Sig charged at the group of Dry Bones a second time and went into a sliding tackle aimed at the first of the four. Its head was immediately knocked off its shoulders as Sig slid onto the back of his shell and performed a clean sweeping kick with his outstretched foot that caught the Bones in its chin. There was a ghastly crunching noise as the bones clattered to the ground around the still-sliding Sig, who kicked back onto his feet and leapt into the air, rising to where the Dry Bones' head had flown. He performed a quick bicycle kick at the skull, which shot down at a second Bones, smacking it in on the crown and causing it to crumble downward, out of commission. The skullball bounced upward and back to where Sig was falling, as he rode it downward and landed on top of a third Bones, which shattered to pieces under the combined weight of the skull, Sig himself, and the force of both's fall. Sig smiled devilishly as he picked the skull back up, spun around a few times, and hurled it at the final Dry Bones' midsection, which broke apart on impact. The four of them were like crash test dummies, breaking apart in a single hit. Sig did another acrobatic leap and landed gracefully outside the pile of bones, ensuring his victory with style and flair. Sig: "Six feet, eh? I'da kicked ya down ta twelve..." |

| Jolene: Ladies and Gentlmen! He's done it again! The Lone KP Koopa, Sig!
The audience went crazy after witnessing what they just did. They just had more than enough to convince them of coming to the Glitzpit more often. However.. Jolene approached Sig once again... Jolene: So.. how about another one? Going against Spike Storm? Fortunately, it's just going against two.. |

| Sig: "How many of these do you want me to do...? I ain't fixin' ta fight my way ta numbah one in one day, ya know..."
He crossed his arms impatiently as the bones were scooped up and swept away by a town-sanctioned janitorial crew. Spikeys didn't sound terribly tough, but not being able to deal with them directly without finesse was a bit of a hinderance. "Bah, whateva'. Keep 'em comin'." |

| Jolene whispered a few more words.
Jolene: This is the last one. I couldn't find Bandy Andy, as usual, so.. Jolene stepped away from Sig, and held out her hand once again. Jolene: Folks! You heard correctly! The Lone KP Koopa, Sig, is calling out for more! It seems like this is his midday exercise! Let's see him take on.. Spike Storm! Sig noticed something below his feet. There were shadows that weren't his. Just as Jolene announced their name, the two members of Spike Storm, a Lakitu and a Spiney. However.. they didn't seem to be heading towards Sig. Infact, both members of Spike Storm seemed to have made a beeline to for the Glitzpit. Lakitu: You know what? Screw it. He can have our rank. Jolene:  Er.. uh.. There you have it, ladies and gentlemen! The Lone KP Koopa, Sig, he's so on fire that the competition is getting scared off! Give it up for Sig!(edited by Kirbynite on 07-15-06 10:53 PM) |

| Sig: "Erh, heh... Go me? Yeah, I'm awesome! Hah!"
He puffed out his golden chest, and crossed his arms across the front of his shell, laughing into the sky. It was a bellowing guffaw, a shouted challenge to any and all takers. Sig felt on top of the world just then, as though no man, woman, or koopa could defeat him. All he had to do was keep the magic going, and the rest would come straight into his hands... He turned to Jolene before she puttered back into the Glitz Pit locker rooms, and caught her as she began to stride. "'Ey, wait a sec. What rank's this put me at now, eh?" |

| Jolene: Hm... Follow me, Sig.
The audience was still going crazy. People were already running for the souvenier shop to buy Sig merchandise, while bloggers quickly ran for the Juice Shop to get a connection to the internet. It was a good day for the Glitzpit stock holders. Jolene's voice went down to a normal, casual one. Jolene: I have gotten word about the results of a fight, and was told to take the rest of the team into the Major League locker room.... And about you, Sig... Jolene pushes her glasses up as she checks her clipboard. Jolene: You have gone from being ranked 18 to 15. If if wasn't for the fact that the fights were outside of the ring, you would've beaten Supa Dreamlander and Company's record for fastest advancement betwen three ranks. Congratulations, Sig. |

| Troy pulled up the nearest bench to the locker room console, sticking in the largest button with his thumb. The screen quickly sparked to life.
Troy : I'd like to make a match reservation, I'm currently rank 19 and- Grubba : Whoa-a there, tiger! It's not even been 10 minutes since your last beatdown! Troy : ...I won in one attack. 
Grubba : Well son, I've got a good reckonin' about getting up those rankings pronto, I was in your shoes once... wellllll, I've got some good newses, and some bad newses. See, if you'll take a gander at the current rankings, there's been this devil Sig tearin' up the place. He totally spanked the other team single-handedly in the last handful of fights; the Pokey Triplet'sve been dismembered, the Dead Bones got pulverized into dust, and Spike Storm got shot down, so we've got no choice now but to give everyone else a little boost here to fill in the gap created by all these injured wussies. Troy : In other words, you want to feed more meat through the grinder for Sig and boost your ratings. Grubba : Nah nah nah, dun' think of it that way Dynamo, I just wanna give everyone a fair shot at stardom here. They just gotta take everything as it's given first. You got me? Now, boy, if you hadn't guessed yet, Sig'll be your next wrasslin'. For this next match I want you to fight in your regular shell. 'ight? Troy : Oh, I get it, you want to reveal the Clark Kent behind the Blazing Dynamo, and create suspense? Grubba : No, the audience petitioned against your spandex. *holds up a sheet of paper stretching down to the floor* Troy : ... |

| The door to the locker room opened up, with Jolene and Sig stepping inside.
Jolene: Please wait a moment here, Sig, I'll.... Hm? Jolene turned her back to Sig as she held a finger to her ear. She gave a few "mmhm" and "yes, sirs" before she turned around and looked at Sig. Jolene: It seems you have another fight to deal with, but this time, you're being challenged. *sighs* With how the challenge system works, and with rookies being the way they are these days, it looks like we might have to open up the reserve fighting arenas rather soon.... Jolene clears her throat as she realized she was rambling. Jolene: Excuse me, I think I may have been a little too involved with this job. Sig, your payment from the previous fights has already been forwarded to your electronic funds, 40 gold coins worth. It is your choice to wait for a few minutes or head towards the pit now. Now, if you'll excuse me... Jolene fixed her glasses and walked towards Smithy. Jolene: Here's your fight money. Jolene hands a briefcase of gold coins to Smithy. Jolene: 12 coins each, and everyone ranks up to 10. Also, please follow me, as you are now part of the major-league. I'll take you to the major-league locker room. Jolene then noticed Grey and Jack. She quirked a brow. Jolene: ... If.. you're healing him.. You can just use the Energizertron that the major-leaguers can use in their locker room. (edited by Kirbynite on 07-17-06 01:05 AM) |

| There was a wave of green light, and Grey dispersed all of his psionic power. He and Jack stood there in a rather amusing pose that bordered on an embrace.
Grey: "Well, okay then." Grey released Jack as if nothing had happened, and snapped his fingers. "PK Healing Omega!!!" A wave of green light washed over Jack, and in seconds he was completely healed. There wasn't a scratch on him, and everything, right down to the last completely regenerated feather, had been perfectly placed. Grey grinned at his work of art, and donned an exp "Big leaguers don't need to perform all of the time." --------------- Sig: "Not at all..." He watched Jolene address the others in her usual businesslike fashion... She was pretty nice, he had to admit. Tough, too. Just like the girls back home. But he wasn't about to waste this chance at the big time. If that challenger wanted to bring him down, he'd be in for the beating of his life. There was just one thing that could defeat a Monstro Town koopa! Well, that was a bald-faced lie. Sig knew that. But his opponent didn't. Sig waited in the locker room for those nice guys at security to attempt to drag him kicking and screaming into the arena, like they usually did. This time, he'd go willingly.

Jolene turned around and headed out the door. |

Jack: ... Are you telling me I stood still like that for no good reason? 
Suddenly, Fem reappeared in a blue beam of light. Fem: So, what'd I miss? Jack: Nothing important. |

Jolene: ... Uh.... Didn't I say to follow me? |

| Grey acted like Jack said absolutely nothing, and simply followed Jolene into the Major League locker room, a happy-go-lucky smile on his face. | |||

| And after the little walk down the hall, Jolene opens the door and allows the others to step inside the room.
Jolene: This is the major-league locker room. You will use this room from this moment on. The match system is the same as the minor league... but the bouts are harder. Try not to get completely destroyed out there, OK? Well, if you'll excuse me... I must be going now. Jolene steps out of the room. The room is tons more cleaner, neater, and nicer smelling than the minor-league room, which is kinda amazing since the minor-league locker room is right next door. None of the people inside make eye contact with the new major-leaguers. It feels a bit... colder than the minor-league... |

| "Ah, I bet you're happy after getting some food in your little tummy!"
Just then, Kirby steps inside the room, swinging around Yami. His smile slowly fades away as he looks around in the room. Supa Dreamlander: What's the deal? Would it kill these guys to show a little friendliness? Sheesh! Anyways.. Kirby looks at his comrades and smiles. Supa Dreamlander: Hey guys! I guess you know the outcome of that battle, huh? And I even got my cape back from one of those freaks. Sorry about not coming by earlier, though... Kinda beelined straight to get Yami some food... The door swings open, once again, and launches Kirby onto the floor. Fortunately, he made sure to hold Yami out of harm's way. Kirby lets out a sigh, while the baby yoshi just giggles. Rawk Hawk: Yo! Studly guy, comin' through! Rawk Hawk steps inside, wearing the shimmering Star Stoned championship belt around his waist. Following behind Rawk Hawk stood three other bird-like creatures. However, they weren't nearly as buff or large as Rawk Hawk. Rawk Hawk: Listen up, losers! I've been hearing about some rising stars tearing up the league...

| Jolene: "Your next fight will be against Troy, the Blazing Dynamo. That's what he's called in the ring. Try not to forget his handle as a measure of respect, in spite of the lack of taste the audience seems to have for his... uniform."
Sig plodded beside the clacking of Jolene's high-heels, as she scribbled nonchalantly on a clipboard and led him to the doors of the fighting arena. "Now, you're to wait here until Troy is prepared to fight. It should take very little time, but he will need to make some special preparations for Grubba's handicap." Sig raised a shade rim. Sig: "Handicap? You're gonna be handicappin' 'im?" Jolene: "Not so much him as you..." She turned and walked briskly away from Sig, who stood unable to respond. The bell was about to ring. |

| Rawk Hawk: Man, I came all the way over here for YOU GUYS?!? Harharhar! What a waste of time!
Supa Dreamlander: Hm... Rawk Hawk looks down, and notices Kirby, lying on the ground next to him. Rawk Hawk: What in the... Hey! You! Get too close to the Hawk, and you might get RAWKED! Supa Dreamlander: Easy there, big boy! I'm just making sure of something, and it seems like I was right. Kirby gets up to his feet, and then points at the belt around Rawk Hawk's waist. Supa Dreamlander: It was a fake! |

| Grey: "Wait, WHAT?!"
He stared at the stone around Rawk Hawk's waist, and then drew his own stone from within his vest pocket. Was it really a fake? "You mean to say that all of this time we've wasted, all of this fighting we've done, and all of this crap we've had to sift through was all just to VERIFY that the gem MIGHT POSSIBLY be real?" Grey stomped his foot on the ground and extended his hand. There was a glitter of light as his bat appeared in it, clearly ready to be swung. "I demand an explanation for this skullduggery!" |

| Rawk Hawk: Hey, you think you can just smack-talk the Rawk Hawk? I DON'T THINK SO! You got some nerve calling my belt a fake, you shrimpy no-belt-wearing wimps! Didn't your mommas teach you any manners?!?!
Supa Dreamlander: Whoa, sorry, yellow dude! I didn't mean to rip on your big, bad belt! Rawk Hawl: Stop making fun of me, punks!! You're alive ONLY 'cause we ain't in the ring right now! If I see you under those lights, I'll tear you apart! Remember the RAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWK! And with that, the giant chicken man and his flunkies stormed out the room. Supa Dreamlander: Eh heh.. I really bothered that guy, huh? :3 Kirby had already forgotten that he was knocked into the ground. Heck, he even forgot that he pointed out the Star Stone on the belt was a fake, despite the fact the map had pointed out there was one in Glitzville. Supa Dreamlander: Is Yami the cutest? Yes he is! Yes he is! (edited by Kirbynite on 07-18-06 12:18 AM) |
