| Supa Dreamlander: Well, there's only one way to find out.
Kirby pulls out the unusually large key and puts it inside of the unusually large lock. He turns the key, and slowly pushes the door open. The room was rather empty inside, if you ignored the ventilation shaft above and the metal boxes scattered around. Supa Dreamlander: You! Harle, perched on some metal containers, turned her head around, with her hat's bells jingling in tow. The harlequin let out a michevious giggle. Harle: Mmmmmmm hmm hmm hmm! We meet again, you sexy hunk, you. (edited by Kirbynite on 08-20-06 01:35 AM) |

| Sig: "That's great an' all, but ya can't really do nothin' if'n ya don't got no evidence of where da sound's comin' from. Lessee if we can close in on da groanin', then I'll believe ya might be onta somethin' 'ere."
A quick trip upstairs later, and Sig found himself pressing his ear against the walls he walked adjacent to, trying to listen for anything suspicious. "Ferst things ferst, we gotta see if dere's even a sound!" --------------- Grey: "So, wait..." He looked from Kirby's PET to Harle, and then back to Kirby's PET, which had its email inbox open and full of mail from the until-previously mysterious "X". "....That means you're X, right?" He looked to Harle, hoping she wasn't as crafty as Jolene was. Eh, worth a shot. "So how come you're flirting with him?" (edited by Sexy Grey on 08-21-06 02:01 PM) |

| Bandy Andy took a few steps around Sig, looking up and down the wall.
Bandy Andy: That's a great idea you had there, Sig. I don't imagine being able to hear something through these walls, but there could always be a weak spot.. The Bandit Guy follow Sig, concentrating on listening through the wall. So far, there wasn't any sounds being heard... ------------------------------------- Harle: De que parlez-vous? Supa Dreamlander: You know, the emails? You were telling us about things..? Harle: Oh, you silly people. Eef I had somet'ink to say, would I not say eet, how do you say... in person? Kirby blinked for a moment. "Well, she'd definitely be able to speak to us when she wants to if she actually broke into this room..", he thought. Supa Dreamlander: ..What're you doing in here, lady? Security was talking about noises in here... Harle: Oh please! No one heard MOI! I am ze best thief of all time! I am quietaire zan a leettle mouse! Supa Dreamlander: I'd like to argue against that. 
Harle jumped off the metallic container and took a few steps forward, away from the group. Harle: Eet eez quite obvious zat someone else 'as been fooleeng around in 'ere. Kirby's intent on trying to get her to leave. Supa Dreamlander: And it's quite obvious that you've been thieving around in here. Harle: Taisez vous. All you need to know eez I 'ave taken what I needed and now I wee-ll be on my way. You can help yourself to the rest. ^_~ Supa Dreamlander: I don't do that stuff anymore, lady. Especially not dressed like this.
Harle: Mm hmm hmm hmm hmm! And now, we must part again, mon sweet "hero"-man! Harle came in at an incredible speed at Kirby and gave him a peck on the cheek. Kirby was thrown off by her insane speed. Supa Dreamlander: Knock it off! Harle: Zis arena holds many secrets, you know.. You should be very careful.. unless you want to end up like zose poor souls upstairs. And with zat, good-bye, mon cheri! We shall meet again! And with that, Harle headed out the door, closing it on her way out. Everyone was left with a very large room with a lot of metal boxes, and a second floor that didn't have a flight of stairs to. Supa Dreamlander: Grr... Why is she so harassing...

| Kirby gave Jack a dull look. Of course, Jack couldn't see it thanks to the shades.
Supa Dreamlander: Whatever, whatever. I don't need any trouble from that kinda riff raff. Megaman.EXE: Kirby! You've got mail! It's from X, again. He says to find the staircase switch to reach the attic. Supa Dreamlander: I guess that rules her out of it.. Unless she was using a timed messaging system.... Wait a minute... Harle's steps weren't metallic when she was moving on these containers... Kirby steps up to the metal boxes, and stares them for a bit. He holds his hands out, and then seemingly pulls out a sheet, revealing several wooden crates surrounding a large, blue button protruding from the ground. Supa Dreamlander: Was that too easy, or did I just happen to have a direction to move into? |

| Jack: Or are we getting closer to whatever the heck is going on?
Jack walks over and pushes the button. |

| Supa Dreamlander: That's the spirit! We'll be over with this quest in no time!
All of a sudden, a flight of metallic stairs unfolded (with each step flipping over like a slinky going down.. well.. stairs) from the second floor above the door. Supa Dreamlander: There's the staircase we're looking for. Kirby quickly raced up the steps and looked around. There were more crates laying around. To his left was a door with huge lock, much like the one from earlier. To his left was a hole, an opening into the ventilation. Kirby walked towards the door and looked at the keyhole. Supa Dreamlander: Dang, it uses a different key. Don't tell me we gotta look inside these crates.. At the same time, there was a faint sound coming from the ventilation... -------------------------------- Bandy Andy: Hey! Sig! I think I'm hearin' something! |

| Sig: "Eh? You're right..."
Sig pressed his head up against the wall, and tapped it. He wondered if he could break through the drywall here... It was unlikely, but possible. He pounded the wall a few times to check for any structural malpraies, and began hitting it harder where he felt it hollowing out. --------------- Grey: "That shouldn't be too hard... Check this out:" He placed his hands together, and concentrated his focus... Metal, metal, metal. It was all around him, but he could probably make at least the crates with iron, nickel, or cobalt in them rumble to narrow down the searching. "PK Magnet!!!" All around him, the crates began to rumble and crackle, as the metal objects inside them began to shift towards Grey's location. Grey himself emitted a series of psionic waves that expelled outward, and drew back in every second or so. The more metal that was inside of the crates, the louder the rumbling. Grey sat still and tried to ignore the smaller of the objects, which began to orbit around his event horizon very slowly. |

| Bandy Andy: Hey! I think I can hear metal banging around in there! You think it's one of them ghosts with chain kinda things? Oh wait... You're just punching the wall..
Sig's poundings weren't finding any weak spots. It felt like he was tapping away at a boulder than a tree. That is, if a boulder were to stand up to Sig's might. ----------------------------------------------- Kirby rushed over to Grey. He started plucking the small metal objects out of the air and deposited them into a plastic bucket. Supa Dreamlander: What're you doing? You're gonna cause too much noise! I know you wanna speed things up, but when it comes to sneaking around, you need to keep from making too much noise! (edited by Kirbynite on 08-25-06 11:10 PM) |

| Sig: "I ain't punchin' nothin! Ya hear that?"
There was a clinking noise that echoed through the walls as soon as Sig stopped tapping. He couldn't break a wall like that down very easily, so the obvious solution had to be to try and search around it. "It is some kinda' chain-like thing. C'mon, we gotta check 'dis out!" --------------- Grey: "What's to worry about? The only suspicious character around here just left the room after flirting her butt off at you to an obvious no avail." As he spoke, the smaller metal objects floating around him slowly lowered to the floor and clattered down with a soft clinking noise. "Besides, it doesn't seem to be in here... All of these crates are full of nonmagnetic metals. It was mostly the nails in them that caused them to shake. If you want, you can continue sneaking. I'm stumped otherwise." |

| "Hm? Is somebody there?"
Bandy Andy: Uh oh... It seems that Bandy Andy and Sig might be in hot water as a Security Guard was roaming the halls of the second floor. Bandy Andy: Heh heh heh... I'm not in the mood for being questioned... The Bandit Guy pulled out a cardboard box from seemingly nowhere, and placed it over him. Bandy Andy: Uh.. Good luck, there, Sig. 
And with that, Bandy Andy laid down, pretending to be just a normal box. ----------------------- Supa Dreamlander: Argh. Kirby felt agrivated from Grey's response. There didn't seem to be anything standing out.. No clues left behind.. and X hasn't sent any messages.. Maybe he could concentrate a bit more if the air blowing out of the open ventilation would've stopped. Supa Dreamlander: Hey... Ventilation. Maybe we can find some clues through the air ducts here. Kirby quickly walked over to the hole in the floor. He kneeled down and poked his head in. It was quite dark, and it didn't seem to be a ventilation shaft at all. It was just some open space between floors. Supa Dreamlander: Lame. Oh wait.. I see a curious pillar of light over there! Kirby placed Yami on his head before climbing down. He slowly crept towards the hole. Supa Dreamlander: This is too easy.... Kirby kneeled down, once again, when he was next to the light. It was coming from the room below. Grubba: ... So you didn't find hide or hair of nobody in the storage room, that what yer sayin'? Jolene: Yes, Mr. Grubba. It appeared to be secure. Don't worry about it, sir. I've taken the necessary precautions. It was most likely just a rat or something. Supa Dreamlander: (Oh snap! This is Grubba's room!) |

| Sig: "Tch... Amateur..."
Deciding not to follow Andy's example of trying to hide in the middle of an open hallway, Sig instead ducked inside of a nearby closet with his own cardboard box, throwing it over his head and using his decidedly short stature to his advantage by merely crouching instead of laying down. That way, if he was discovered and had to make a quick escape, things'd be a little easier. Poor Andy, though... He'd have to watch Andy's back. |

| The security guard slowly walked closer, and closer until he approached the box Bandy Andy was under. He quirked a brow at the box until he noticed there were visible footprints on the floor that led up to a door.
Security Guard: Ugh.. That lazy janitor.. He went to clean the light control office, but didn't take care of all this dust? Geeze..... Eh, well, I'm one to talk. I'm supposed to be keeping an eye on the second floor.... But no one is allowed up here anyway.. why do I have to waste my time keeping... The security guard continued to walk around, mumbling to himself. Bandy Andy let out a sigh before removing the cardboard box. Bandy Andy: Heh heh heh.. can't believe it worked... ----------------------------------- Grubba: Well, no big deal either way. Ain't nothin' in there we'd miss too much anyway. Thanks fer stayin' on top of this, Jolene. Hey, an' by the way, any word on King K? Jolene: I'm afraid we still don't know the wereabouts of King K, Mr. Grubba. And so... I deleted his spot on our roster per regulations. The Glitz Pit no longer has any official connection to KP Pete, a.k.a. King K. I have, of course, taken the same steps with all fighters who have gone missing. Grubba: Hoo, fighters have sure been goin' missin' a lot lately! That's the fifth this year! What in tarnation's goin' on? Ah even heard some security ijit sayin' the Pit's cursed! Jolene: I doubt that, sir, but I certainly don't understand the disappearances. Grubba: Well, fer the time bein', tell the other fellas that King K headed on home for a spell. If word gets out about missin' fighters, it sure ain't gonna be good for business, no siree! Nasty rumors have a way of sendin' folks runnin' to the hills, know what Ah mean? Jolene: I understand completely, Mr. Grubba. I'll take care of everything, sir. Jolene fixes her glasses, and starts to walk towards the door until Grubba speaks up again. Grubba: Y'know, Jolene... Yer a dang fine manager, but you just plumb disappear sometimes.... I gotta know! Where in the world do you go, darlin'? Jolene: Uh... Th-that's... *clears throat* Mr. Grubba, I know you're my boss, but I don't believe that's any of your business. Grubba: Easy! Didn't mean to pry, now! How 'bout this, then... Heard of the Star Stone? Jolene: ! Jolene fixes her glasses. Jolene: N-no... I've never heard of such a thing, Mr. Grubba. Grubba: Okeydoke, well, I 'preciate yer time, Miss Jolene. You go ahead an' run along now, y'hear? Jolene bows and heads out the door. Grubba: Well, if this ain't a fine how-do-you-do! Seems like good fighters are a dyin' breed. That wild child Dreamlander and his friends are just about the only draw Ah still got 'round here. Maybe those other koopas, too. ----------------------------- Supa Dreamlander: .... I can't believe what I just heard. I thought King K retired! (edited by Kirbynite on 08-30-06 09:17 PM) |

Here Ah am, thinkin' someone's up there a-peepin'! Ah gotta relax... take some yoga classes or somethin'... Yep. Well, back to the ring. And with that, Grubba started walking towards the door. Supa Dreamlander: Whew... Hm...He brought up the Star Stone.. Jolene acted kinda guilty-like when he mentioned it... Any thoughts, you guys? |

| Supa Dreamlander: Oh well... Hey! Why don't we go kill some time? To the locker rooms!
Kirby holds up Yami infront of him. Supa Dreamlander: We're sooo gonna destroy them, aren't we Yami? Aren't we? Yami: Yoshi! 
Supa Dreamlander: Of course we are! 
------------------------------ And through the magic of fastu fowadu, everyone arrives at a ranking 1, while Troy was at rank 3 and Sig was at rank 4 (a screw up in the computer. Bandy Andy blamed it on one of the Wonders of the Glitz Pit: The Spooky Ring-Lights, strange lights that leak from under the ring doors when no one was inside the arena.) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Jolene: Your fight money has been automatically transfered into your accounts. 25 coins each. Everyone ranks up to 1. Now, if you'll excuse me... I must be going. The toad business woman fixes her glasses before walking out the major league door. The "Koopinator" was just defeated, and Kirby couldn't feel any better. He ran over to Yami and scooped him up. Supa Dreamlander: We wonnnn~! Megaman.EXE: "Supa Dreamlander"! You've got mail! Kirby places Yami on his head, and pulls out his PET from his backpack. Supa Dreamlander: "This is your last warning! Stop snooping around about the Star Stone! If you don't, you'll suffer the same fate as the others who have gone missing..." Holy cucco! How the heck does Angry Penpal McGee know about this? This guy's gotta be our key! Megaman.EXE: Don't put the P E T away.. there's another email... Supa Dreamlander: Already? "rEmOvE tHe SuPa DrEaMlAnDeR pOsTeRs In ThE lObBy. FrOm X" Posters... hey... wait a minute... The posters in the lobby all have our pictures on them... We worked hard to get our posters up there... |

| Mel, however, was already hastily ripping down posters with the Dreamlander's alter-ego emblazoned on them.
MEL: I'm sorry, I was busy tearing down the posters you put so much love and hard work into. You were saying? His head is turned to the Supa Dreamlander, as he violently pulls another poster off the wall -- and a giant yellow key suddenly falls from a recessed portion of the wall, directly into his face.

| Supa Dreamlander: I said nothing. I'd have to say that was a perfectly good setup.
Kirby walks over to Melvin and picks up the key. At the same time... Megaman.EXE: Kirby! You've got mail. It's from X. He says to go to the second floor of the storage room. Supa Dreamlander: I hope we don't have to eavesdrop on another conversation. We've got a championship match to deal with. Kirby was about to nod twice but he felt the heatful glares from Jack and Fem. Supa Dreamlander: Right, moving on. And Smithy... just drag Melvin along. At this rate, Harle will appear again, and I'm sure her presence will wake him up. Or something. |

Troy tilted his head at the screen, which fizzled out. He raised his fist, giving it a solid whack. Slowly the main menu scrolled back into focus. 
Troy : ...I rise to greatness and this is my trophy. As long as this manages to screw everyone else up I should try to do something more productive... speaking of, I don't think I've seen Kirb come back to the major lockers in a while... probably digging up new scoops that I should be. I think I'll be heading out for a walk... |
