Jack: Alright, let's think about this logically. If Rawk's stone is fake, and the real one is supposed to be on this island, then presumably the stone on Rawk's belt was created as a replica of the real stone... So the real stone is most likely somewhere in this facility.

Supa Dreamlander: Huh? Oh.. yeah, that makes sense, I guess...

Kirby still seemed preoccupied with playing with Yami.... However, that jumped when he jumped as he felt the PET in his backpack shaking.

Megaman.EXE: Um... "Supa Dreamlander"! You've got mail!

Supa Dreamlander: Huh?

Kirby placed Yami on his head while he pulled his PET out of his backpack.

Supa Dreamlander: "iF u WaNt TeH sTaR sToNe, HeEd My InStRuCtIoNs. FrOm X" Okay, how the heck did this X fool get my email?

Grey: "Ehehehe... who knows?"

Grey certainly didn't.

"Maybe it was posted somewhere on the internet? You might be more popular than you think."

He sweatdropped. Mysterious people having Kirby's email address could mean only one thing...

...Grey'd have to reconfigure Kirb's spamblocker really, really soon.

Megaman.EXE: It could have been the Underground FanZ.

Supa Dreamlander: Yeah.. I suppose.. Hm... *gasps* You don't think... Schala's a member of the Underground Fanz?! I mean.. she was the only other person that has emailed me!

Had Melvin not been in an OT, he would've rolled his eyes and bring up the point that using "Kirbynite" in the email address wouldn't be so hard to find.

Supa Dreamlander: Well, whatever, I'm gonna go have me a fight now, if you guys don't mind. I need to get me some more money for Yami later on.

Kirby walked over to the terminal, and pressed the button.

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

((Sorry Teddylot! I hope I did a good enough job! ))

Meanwhile...

Zap: I honestly can't believe you managed to trick me and bought that expensive candy behind my back.

Teddylot: I know! It was awesome, wasn't it? =D

Zap: You're not supposed to be proud of it. What are we going to tell them when they ask us about the medicine?

Teddylot: ... We'll tell them that this is super rare candy that can heal anything!

Zap: That would only work on you, and, on a good day, Kirby. Hold on a second..

Zap grabbed Teddylot by the scruff of his neck as the two were about to walk around a corner.

Teddylot: Hey! What's the big id--

Zap: Sssh!

Zap covered the struggling Teddylot's mouth as he looked at an irritated Jolene speaking with a flustered Security Guard.

Zap: Hm...

Troy continued walking down the hall, holding a bag of takeout in one hand and noisily slurping on a soft drink with the other. He was back in his normal, bright blue shell, as he would be later, but that didn't stop the security guards from giving him disturbed stares. He stopped just short of the locker room.

Troy : I've got about... 5 minutes... I think I should be alright... he whooped 3 fights back to back, I could've done that too if I really had the motive...

He wheezed, falling back against the wall with a hollow thud.

Troy : ...that's not right. Waitasec...

Troy spun around, examining the wall. He raised his hand to it, running it along the drywall. It crumbled off into his hands.

Troy : This wall was restored recently, and pretty poorly. It wouldn't lead to the locker room, it's not that big. Must've been an old room they shut off...

"The Sealed Wall: Some say.... the remains of fallen athletes are stored in there..."

Without warning, Bandy Andy had appeared behind Troy. The Bandit creature had a big grin as he approached the blue koopa.

Bandy Andy: I've searched all over for the First Wonder of the Glitzpit, but I never thought of checking here. You must got some luck there, ball blazer, heh heh heh.

Bandy Andy turned his head and looked at the wall.

Bandy Andy: ... So... you gonna check it out?

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

Zap tried his best to keep an ear open as he struggled to keep Teddylot quiet.

Jolene: So... you're telling me that you have no idea who got inside? What do we pay you for?

Security Guard: I'm awful sorry, Miss Jolene. I heard a noise in there, but I couldn't find nothing...

Jolene: Hmph. Fine, leave the rest of this matter to me. I'll have to remember to turn up the security system to include the Yamauchi Anti-Teleportation.... Go back to your post. And listen to me carefully: do not EVER tell anyone of this or I'll have your job.

Jolene sighed as the security guard walked off. Zap slowly creeps back to the wall, in hopes of not being spotted by Jolene. He then realized something was wrong...

Teddylot: Sooooooo..... What's in the room?

Jolene: Y-You! Mister Teddylot, this is highly inappropriate! What business do you have here?

Zap came around the corner walking as calmly and cool-like as he could.

Zap: Sorry about that, ma'am. We were just taking a detour.

Jolene: Please, I must ask you to stay out of places where you have no business being.

Zap: ... What's that supposed to..

Jolene fixed her glasses and turned around. Zap watched the Toad march up to her office.

Zap: Hm....

Teddylot: I bet you there's candy inside.

Zap: You've put us through enough trouble for one..

Zap checks his watch.

Zap: Afternoon. Come on, you.

Zap grabs Teddylot and starts dragging him.

Teddylot: But the candy!

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

Grubba: Well, boy howdy! Fixin' for a fight, huh? Well, all righty, then! Lemme just see here.... Yer next opponent will be.... Ranked 9 in the Glitz Pit... The Tiny Spinies! No stipulations involved here, just

The screen fades away.

Supa Dreamlander: Spinies.. Right... I thought the matches were supposed to start getting harder.

Kirby walks over to Jack.

Supa Dreamlander: Can you hold onto Yami for me? I'm sure you're not up for being in a fight already

Supa Dreamlanders: Thanks

Kirby slowly hands Yami over to Jack as a security guard steps inside.

Security: You ready?

Supa Dreamlander: Of course.

Security Guard: Alright. We're going to be using the reserve arena, however.

Supa Dreamlander: What? How come? I'm a major leaguer now.

Security Guard: There's special fight reserved for the main arena.

Supa Dreamlander: Well, whatever.

Kirby follows the security guard out, while Zap and Teddylot steps inside.

Teddylot: Ooooh! This place smells lemony clean, with a hint of sweat socks.

Zap walks towards Fem, Grey, and Jack, and cautiously looks around.

Zap: Hey, I'm just wondering.. Did one of you teleport inside one of the rooms here?

Zap: Well, I doubt you would've miscalculated and beamed into that locked room.

Teddylot: Who cares? We need to know about more pressing issues, like why is he holding a tiny yoshi in his arms!

Zap: It's just a curiosity I had. Oh, before I forget, Fem. You might want to step outside before you teleport again. I overheard Jolene talking about turning on a "Yamauchi Anti Teleportation" or something.

Zap readjusted his glasses before glancing at the yoshi in Jack's arms.

Zap: .... That came from the egg from earlier, didn't it?

Teddylot: Hey! Since Kirb's not here, why don't we put it in a pot and boil it! I wouldn't mind having that hotdog now!

Zap: No.

Teddylot: Partypooper.

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

Kirby stepped into an open room that looked just like the normal arena. However, there were some huge differences. First, Grubba wasn't there. Second, there were about 20 people in the audience.

Supa Dreamlander: ... This is lame.

Grubba's voice boomed into the room from the loud speakers, however, it sounded a bit mechanical.

Grubba: Fer our next battle we got --- The-Merciless-Executioner-sa -- SUPA DREAMLANDER AND CO.! -- And -- The-Thorny-Demon-sa -- The Tiny Spinies!

Kirby stepped up the platform. He was a bit irritated. On the other side of the arena stood two Red Spike Topped Buzzy Beetles.

Supa Dreamlander: Prerecorded message too? What kind of major league treatment is this?

Spiked Buzzy: Wheeee! It's gonna be fun poking fun at you!

Grubba: Get yerselves ready to---BAAAAAAAATLE!

Jack: I'd be careful, Teddylot. He may have just ate, but I'm sure he still has room for some bear. Even if you are just stuff and fluff.

Fem: Yamauchi? That's a brand I've not heard in a long time...

Bandy Andy looked to the sides. He then lowered his voice.

Bandy Andy: Well... Not now, I suppose.. Maybe when there's an important match going on, or something...

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

Zap: Well, hopefully it's not something we have to be worried about.

Teddylot: I'm a bear!

Zap: A stuffed one.

Teddylot: I'm higher up on the food chain than some lizard!

Yami, who was falling asleep, gave out a little yawn. Teddylot quickly hid behind Zap.

Teddylot: Take him! He's less cooler than I am!

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

Confetti exploded everywhere, followed by a few claps.

Grubba: We got ourselves a winner! -- SUPA DREAMLANDER AND CO.!

Supa Dreamlander: That was fairly simple. Almost like free money.

Kirby shrugged as he walked off the platform, throwing away an empty Pow Block he had purchased earlier. Meanwhile the spiked topped Buzzy Beetles were struggling to get off of their single spined backs.

Grey: "Man, I didn't even need to lift a finger for that one... Good job!"

Grey had been watching the fight from the doors to the arena, and prepared to congratulate Kirby as he re-entered the locker room. He cuffed Kirby on the back as he exited the locker room to go take a bit of a walk, and passed by Sig on the way out. He was still waiting for his opponent...

"Oi, Sig, what's up?"

Sig snarled at Grey, getting more and more impatient by the second.

Sig: "I got a battle ta fight! Some kinda special match aginst 'dis new guy named "Da Blazin' Dynamo"'re some junk like 'dat. Doenn't matta', I'll kick 'is butt up 'n' down da street!"

He heard the bell ring, signifying that the fight was about to begin, and stormed into the arena to a hail of cheers and eager eyes. Cameras flashed at him from all directions, indicating that he had finally reached that rising star status. Would today continue the story, or would he fall to his mysterious new foe? That was the purpose of the battle.

Sig stepped into the arena, and awaited Grubba's uproarious hailing. He shuffled around a bit in his shell, cracking his knuckles and shaking out his limbs. Those three fights had been nothing at all, but it would be nice to see a real challenge for once. If this guy had blasted through the Glitz Pit as fast as he had, soloified, then this was sure to be one heck of a fight.


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

Grey put his hands behind his head and relaxed a bit as he walked through the Glitz Pit's main building, deciding to take a quick tour of things now that the rest of the squad seemed intent on raising Yami and fighting in the battles. If anything, he'd return to that juice bar and try to talk up that cute toad gi---

......My god, he thought, what am I thinking?

But it was, of course, too late. He was back at the juice bar, finding himself staring down another menu of exotic liquids.

The audience was already going crazy as Grubba started to announce the next fight in the main arena.

Grubba: Fer our next battle, we got a nice treat for all of you folks. A match between our quickly uprising koopas! That's right! The Lone KP Koopaaaa versus the Blaaaaaazing Dynamo!

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

Once again, the creepy rhino in the tacky clothes had appeared besides Grey...

Dupree: Bonjour, Monsieur. I wonder what flower zat beautiful mademoiselle likes? She eez like a ravishing, but thorny, red rose, honh? Oui, she is thorny...

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

Supa Dreamlander: Hey, Yami! I hope you were being a good little boy!

Yami seemed to have woken up when Kirby stepped inside the Major League locker room. The caped lad thanked Jack as Yami was handed over to him.

Supa Dreamlander: Grey said he was gonna head on over to the Juice Shop, so I thought I'd tag along. Oh! Before I forget..

Kirby handed everyone in his group a plastic card. Teddylot proceeds to bite the card.

Supa Dreamlander: Jolene told me that our winnings will be electronically transferred into our own accounts. There's no interest or fees and such. Apparantly, we're winning so much money, as a group, that they couldn't afford giving us sacks and suitcases of gold coins. Um.. We got 15 coins transferred in... We're ranked 9 now...

Kirby turned around and headed out the door.

Teddylot: 15 coins? Aww... That's not enough for that Jumbo Kill-a-tron that was being sold in a back alley in Rogueport..

Zap: I told you that you shouldn't have wasted all the money on the candy.

Zap sighed as he walked towards the computer terminal.

Zap: Get your best gimmicks ready, Teddylot, because we're going to earn Kirby's money back.

Teddylot: Gah! My old war wound! I've got a fractured knee!

Zap: Nice try. You don't even have any bones.

Grey sighed at the Rhino in strange clothes, and moved a few inches away from it. It had been closing in on him rather uncomfortably for the past few minutes now.

Grey: "Er... Hum. I tell you what, I'll, uh... find out for you."

He swiftly got up from the seat he was in, passed his menu back to the barkeep (just a simple orange juice, this time... no exotic punches!), and crossed the bar. He discreetly pulled up a seat at the same table as the mysterious young ladytoad, and for the first time got a look at her up close.

....He couldn't help but notice how familiar her hair was. Maybe...?

No. He went the conversational route.


"Ehehehe... Hey there. Listen, that rhino over there..."

He beckoned over to Dupree, who shuffled back into his seat nonchalantly.

"....is really, really creepy. I'm Grey. I'm with Supa Dreamlander and his crew. You've met him, right?"

The woman seemed almost in a world of her own. She momentarily glanced at Grey.

Mysterious Woman: Watching you fight.. You remind me of the first champion, Prince Mush.

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

Harle: Ooh la la! You've made eet to ze major league, have you?

Kirby quietly growled to himself as he lost his chance for running out the front lobby door.

Supa Dreamlander: No fooling you, huh?

Harle: Zere eez no fooling Harle!

Supa Dreamlander: I've gotta go take Yami out to eat.

Harle: Before you go.. You must know zat somet'ing steenks 'ere, and eet eez not ze manly o'deres. Call eet a t'ief's eentuition... Bet-tere safe zan sorri, mon cheri!

Yami coos a bit as Kirby rocks the baby yoshi a bit.

Supa Dreamlander: Yeah... I know. Didn't realize I was putting the P.I. hat when I donned this.

Kirby walked out the door.

Mysterious Woman: Prince Mush... The first Glitz Pit champion... The fighter long since lost.... He shone truly and brightly. Many fans still hope that he may dramatically return.... Of course, I'm one of them... I long to see the poetry of his pure fighting style...

She took a sip of her drink.

Mysterious Woman: I am.. quite amazed to see you and your friends advance so quickly. A lot more quickly than Prince Mush... of course, he did take his time...

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

Supa Dreamlander: Ah.. the nice air, once again... Ugh... The sudden realization that I might see that lady again... Man... I really wish I wasn't wearing this getup..

Yami lets out another cooing sound as Kirby sighed.

Supa Dreamlander: It'd be nicer if you got to see me without this stuff on me..

This last exchange left Grey speechless. He took note of her dialogue. It was very light, and airy. He tried to get a quick look at what she was drinking, but resolved to just be direct instead.

Grey: "We could have, too... But we have a reason to be here. Or had, anyway. Say, do you know Jolene at all? You kind of remind me of her..."

He lowered his head just a bit. The toadette was shorter than he was, and he wanted to catch a glimpse of her face beneath the mushroom cap. Something was very fishy here.
