| Kirby: ~For now, just wait... I think he's going to leave the room...~
Grubba stood up from his seat and fixes his hat. He then waddles towards the door and steps out. Kirby then proceeds to kick the vent out. Kirby: It's not like anyone can hear me outside the soundproof walls.... Kirby hops down onto the floor. He quickly eyes the desk, and walks up to it. He opens one drawer, which is filled with office supplies. He leans towards the other drawer, and notices it's locked. He pulls out a paper clip, and begins to work some magic on the locked drawer. The drawer then pops open, revealing a lonely piece of paper. Kirby: Oh snap! ~Guys! I found blueprints for a machine that uses a Star Stone! And it's integrated underneath the ring! Um.... From what I can tell, it looks like it uses the Star Stone's power to drain people of their.. well, power.~ Kirby looked at the paper a bit more. Kirby: Bandy Andy and King K must've been drained... ! BRRRRRRRRINNNNN! Grubba: GREAT GALLOPIN' GULPITS! How in tarnation did YOU get in here, son? Well, slap me an' call me Sassafras! Yer starin' at mah secret paper, too! Kirby: Quiet, you! You make me sick! Why'd you drain King K and Bandy Andy, huh? And you planning on draining me and my friends, too, huh? Grubba: T-that's you, Supa Dreamlander? Whoa, nelly! This ain't good! Kirby: ~Guys, did you hear that? I'm chasing Grubba right now, he just ran out the door.~ (edited by Kirbynite on 10-05-06 12:38 AM) |

SMITHY: Guys? MEL: ? Smithy could be seen with the lower half of his body sticking out from the vent hole. SMITHY: The, uh... the vent's clogged. |

| Kirby's voice was pretty much blaring out from whereever the rest of the group were hearing his voice.
Kirby: HELP ME FIND HIM!! 
Kirby, instead of letting Yami ride on his head, held the little yoshi in his arms. He leapt out of the room, and looked in both directions of the hallway. Kirby: Lost him already!? That guy's faster than I thought. Hey, you! Muscle man! Where did Grubba go? Security Guard: Mr. Grubba? He just ran by at about Mach 6. I think he went to the ring.... Kirby: Right. Thanks. Let's go, Yami! |

| And he would go, but not before finding Troy's face inches from his.
Troy : I TOLD YOU, I. TOLD. YOU |

((Just wanna say sorry to everyone for how I'm dragging this story rather quickly in any moment I get. I just wanna be out of this chapter already. I promise not to be like this in the next one  ))
There were some slight tears hanging from Kirby's face. Kirby: I'm sorry I doubted you 
Kirby shook his head and realized that he needed to keep going. He grabbed one of Troy's hands and pulled him along towards the ring, which wasn't too far down. Grubba: Ah gotta say... ya'll are a coupla slack-jawed ijits, sniffin' 'round mah business... Kirby released Troy, and started slowly walking towards the center of the arena. Grubba: Now you know mah big secret, Ah'm afraid yer gonna have to take a li'l ol' dirt nap. The arena started to shake as Grubba started to descend into the ground. All of a sudden, a machine rose out, with a golden star shaped object floating inside of it. Grubba: Hyuk hyuk hyuk hyuk! How you like mah machine? Pretty dang nice, huh? Yep, Ah've been suckin' power from fighters with this baby! SLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURP! Yer darn tootin'! An' you know why? 'Cause it keeps mah bod forever young, kids! Kirby: You're gonna pay for using that star like that! Grubba: Oh, just shut yer traps, now! Ah'll use MAH Star Stone however Ah dang please! Check THIS out! HRRRRRRRRRGH! MUUUUUUUUUUUUSCLE-UP! Grubba begins grunting, and shaking his fists. Kirby's brows furrow up. He knows he should do something, but at the same time, he doesn't believe he should. All of a sudden, Grubba's blue skin changes to orange as his body rips through his promoter's costume. His hair spikes out so much that it rips his hat to shreds. The only thing left of his costume was just the little red bow and a ripped up vest. Grubba: MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACHO GRUBBA! Kirby: Holy cucco! He really did beef up! Macho Grubba: Hooo-wee! Ah'm gonna smoosh you guys into guacamole an' snack on YER energy, too! Grubba steps away from the machine, and yells out "MAAAACHO!" Macho Grubba: Ah'm a powerhouse now, you pesterin' li'l pieces of prairie piffle! So long's Ah have this here machine, mah bod'll be rough, tough, an' ultrabuff! Kirby: Let's rock, baby. |

| Mel suddenly skidded to a halt directly halfway between Kirby and Macho Grubba, one hand pointed to the mat and the other to the sky at directly the opposite angle, in an extravagant pose.
MEL: Heaven or Hell! With a loud crash, Smithy fell from a vent grating in the rafters, landing directly on his face and leaving an indentation in the ring beneath him. He flipped over onto his feet, and thrust an arm out, his palm facing to the ring. SMITHY: Duuuuel 1! Both man and reploid pointed fingers to the sky, as a bell belled twice in the background. MEL & SMITHY: Let's ROCK! |

| For a moment, a chibified Kirby waddles behind Melvin, and places little Yami on the ground. He pats the baby yoshi on the head and then turns around and waddles back to where he was, in a less chibified form, though..
Kirby: Er.. forgot to put Yami out of the way.... Hey.. wait a minute.. Smithy, you were stuck in the vents yourself.. why didn't you stop by that media box room and turn on some heavy metal? Macho Grubba: Graaah! Grubba slammed his fists into the ground. The force of his action sent two lines of torn up flooring racing towards Kirby and Melvin. Kirby sprung into the air, and somersaulted onto the fighting platform. Kirby: Oh, crud.. I forgot my one hit kill command.. (edited by Kirbynite on 10-06-06 02:20 AM) |

| Mel does not budge, as he reaches into his pockets and slips the Power Gloves Mk. III onto his bands. With only a split second to spare, one leg bends at the other slips forward, and he snaps both arms into place, a sudden crack issuing as a powerful reiatsu surrounds him in a green glow, the fissure coming towards him literally diverting into two smaller fissures to travel around him. | |||

| Kirby picks up several pieces of the torn up ground. A red aura surrounds his hands, blessing the debris with fire. He then charges forward, chucking a piece of explosive at Grubba's feet.
To Kirby's surprise, Grubba jumped out of the way gracefully. That did not stop the spikey headed lad from stopping, though. He jumped up into the air, and tossed the last bit of explosive debris onto the floor. Grubba jumped out of the way, and was barely able to throw a hand up to catch a falling kick onto his head. Kirby didn't stop in his movements, as he twisted his body around and tried to go in for a punch. Grubba used his other hand to stop the incoming blow. Before Grubba got the idea of slamming him into the ground, Kirby simply extended his leg, getting a solid smack on Grubba's forehead. Grubba stumbled backwards, releasing Kirby, who rolled as soon as he hit the floor. Macho Grubba: Oh yeah! Keep it spicy! You know Ah love a good tussle! Keep on scrappin'! 'Course, it ain't gonna do ya'll much good in the end... The veins on Grubba’s head began pulsing as he held his hands by his sides and grunted loudly. His body momentarily shined, which didn’t get by Kirby. Kirby: What are you up to now!? A grin ran across Grubba’s face as his body went transparent. Kirby’s eyes widened as he realized he was staring at an afterimage. Kirby: Speed up? Where did he— Grubba: Gotcha! Grubba had appeared behind Smithy, and thrust a large hand at the reploid. The muscle-bound manager lifted Smithy into the air, and hurled him through one of the control room boxes. Kirby: Smithy! While you’re coming down here, don’t forget about the music! |

| Troy swung down from the rafters and eventually dropped down onto the ground. Tucked under his shoulder was a loudspeaker disconnected from the system encircling the arena, still linked to the next. The next one in line crashed to the floor next to him, and Troy quickly spun and hurled the one in his hands as hard as he could. The two boomboxes helicoptered across the ground around Grubba's feet, with a single thick wire strung between them - a very crude bolas trap.
Troy : How about some slow dance?! |

((I don't know what's more incredible. Making one of those things out of speakers, or seeing an actual one with baseballs  ))
Kirby followed the trap up with a few freezing chunks of debris. Grubba just could not avoid Troy's incoming speaker snare. He fell over and slammed his face through a block of ice. He let out a groan as he struggled to free himself. Macho Grubba: Not too shabby! Ya'll got showmanship, an' that's GOLD in this biz! But this here battle's just gettin' started! It's time Ah showed you some real moves! Back in the day, Ah had so many rump-kickin' moves, they had to make some illegal! Macho Grubba grunted again, and before anyone even had the chance to do something about it, the beefy promoter had increased his size once again. It was as if someone had stuffed four Hulks inside a bag. Kirby immediately took several hops back. Kirby: Holy cucco! How much juice does this guy have in him!? |

| Sig: "Not enough ta keep up wit' me!"
There was a short, orange blur that whooshed past Kirby at blinding speed, colliding with Grubba and sending him flying backwards. At the moment of impact, there was a shell-less Koopa with his leg extended in a jump kick motion that twisted like a drill as it hit. It was only for a moment, of course. As soon as the point of contact ended, Sig deflected off of Grubba, backflipping once and disappearing into a blur again. Speed was about all the Koopa had, however, as it became quite readily obvious that Grubba was only hurt, and not broken, by this assault. The monstrous creature sprung to his feet and growled at Sig, stamping like an enraged bull. With his spiky hair, he proceeded to dash forward at speed that easily matched Sig's, his steps making the ground rumble like a small earthquake. Grubba: "Ya think that hurt? Hah! Y'all ain't nothin! Nothin', ya hear? Yer a low rankin' lucky sunofagun, an' I'ma prove it! GRRRAAAAAHHHH!!!!" Grubba charged at Sig, and Sig did a quick physics calculation in his head. He certainly couldn't harm Grubba directly, but... Sig ran straight at Grubba as he charged, squinting his eyes and focusing on one single point: Grubba's tail. He'd only get one shot at this. The centrifugal force of an object is equal to the mass of the object times the square of the velocity of the object divided by gravity times the radius of the circle that it was being swung in. Sig was pretty small, and he knew his arms were fairly short in length, being nothing more than a shell-less turtle and all... At the last moment before Sig would have been knocked to kingdom come by Grubba's attack Sig skidded around in a semicircle and caught Grubba by the tip of his tail with an outstretched hand. He wrenched Grubba upwards and got to his feet, using Grubba's momentum to swing him around in a rapid circle. With Sig's short arms, the radius of the circle that he was swinging Grubba around in was small enough so that with Grubba's increased speed and mass, the end result was enough to create a dizzying whirlwind where the two had met. Grubba squirmed and swiped at Sig with his long arms as the two spun round and round, slowly accelerating to a greater velocity. Finally, Grubba bent his head downward and tilted it just slightly to the side, opening his mouth and spitting out a spiked ball the size of his head at the tornado terrapin. The ball's trajectory hit true in a quick parabola, and Sig was struck dead-on. He reacted by doing the only thing Physics demanded; He let go. Grubba flew out of Sig's grasp and sailed like a bullet towards a light fixture near the corner of the arena. He slammed directly into the fixture, which exploded in a shower of glass and steel as Grubba bounced off and fell back towards the ground. Sig panted, breathing heavily as Grubba got back to his feet and waddled uneasily towards him. It was just a lucky shot, but it was one hell of one... Even so, Grubba was now stumbling on his feet, unable to walk in a straight line and clearly off his guard. Sig grinned as he winced in pain. Sig: "Guys... I... did all... that I could... Good luck to ya." With that, he collapsed to the floor of the arena, a condition attributed both to the winding shot in the chest and his own state of dizziness as a result of the attack. Grubba did not notice this, and continued to walk around, drunk on the lack of equilibrium and balance in his head. "Andy was wrong... It wasn't a myth at all..." And that was it. Sig was down for the count, but Grubba was an easy target. --------------- Grey, on the other hand, was still in the hallways with Jolene... He whirled around to investigate the clicking of the heels, and made his way as quickly as he could towards it.

| Fem flew above the off-balance Grubba, and pulled a large piko-piko hammer out of seemingly nowhere.
Fem: Megaton Dunk! She slammed the hammer down onto Grubba's head, forcing his body more than halfway into the ground... Like a hammer striking a nail. |

| Grubba stumbled around, as much as one could after being forced through the ground. He couldn't take anymore and basically collapsed.. His body began to quickly shrink back to its original chubby state.
Grubba: Nooo... How'd this happen? How could a perfect bod like mine lose to such... Oh.. Great fight, there... Great... fight... Urrrrrrrrgh..... Jolene: Champions! Kirby: Jolene? Kirby turned around to see Jolene standing next to the arena doors. Kirby's surprised eyes seemed to fade away when he noticed who was standing near the toad business woman. Jolene: N-no.. I mean.. Melvin.. Fem.. Kirby.. Kirby: I s'pose it's too late for me to deny that name.  ;
Jolene: Please allow me to offer my earnest thanks for defeating that foul Grubba. I really have to apologize... I'm so sorry that I had to get you involved.... But you must understand.... I had to learn the truth about this arena by any means. Let me tell you everything. |

| Grey: "Everything? You mean you weren't a part of the plot?"
Grey shimmered back into existence behind Jolene, a look of wonder and understanding on his face. "I get it now! That's why... That's why you would dress up at the Juice Bar as someone else! You knew someone would want to solve the mystery of Prince Mush one of these days!" His gaze was cast aside for a moment, and he grimaced. "Man, I feel like an ass now for being so suspicious..."

| Jolene looked up at Grey, and held a hand up to the psi boy.
Jolene: It's alright, Grey. With the way I was conducting myself, I wasn't surprised I didn't arouse more suspicion.... Well, I think I should start from the beginning.. I'll try to make it short... I had a little brother once, by the name of Mush. He'd have done anything for me. Kirby: Mush? Jolene: Our family was always poor, so he became a fighter here to support all of us... But he suddenly went missing one day. Our family was inconsolable. I suspected foul play, so I got hired on as the manager and investigated in secret. As I looked for clues about my brother, I accidentally saw Mr. Grubba transform. Seeing what I was up against, I almost gave up hope.. And then you all appeared. I then decided to help you all in secret. Kirby: Oh! So.. So that means that you're X! Jolene: Correct.. It was me. The stories on the site do no good on telling how wonderful all of you are. |

| Loud heavy metal music starts blaring, as Smithy pops his head out from the hole in the roof, a hairline fracture running through his head armor.
SMITHY: How's that? He gives a thumbs up, before realizing that the fight has already ended. SMITHY: O.. oh. ._. |

| Kirby stood hunched over, extremely startled by Smithy's tardiness with the music. He sighed and shook his head before walking over to pick up Yami, who seemed to have taken an interest in pushing around a broken door knob.
Kirby: Hi, Yami! Sorry for leaving you here.. Jolene walks up to the hole Grubba was in. Grubba, of course, was still laid out. Jolene: Now, sir... No! Not "sir"! Grubba! I want answers, right NOW! What did you do with my precious little brother? You know exactly what I'm talking about! The first champion: PRINCE MUSH! Grubba: Urrrg.... Prince Mush... He.. He.. discovered the secret of mah... power-suckin' machine... Ah had him..urgh... disappear. Any.. which way you look at it... oooooog... he ain't 'round these parts no more. Jolene: ....No... Jolene tried to keep herself calm. She stared hard at the ground, almost bearing holes through the platform. Jolene: I.. suspected as much. Oh... Mush... |

| Meanwhile...
A certain speed boat crashed into Rogueport's harbor, and its two occupants, Jack and a humanoid chicken, simply walked off of it as they continued to throw punches and occasional kicks at each other. They made their way into the main square of Rogueport, and as they did so they passed a certain balding scientist. Gyromite: What the!? The camera suddenly cut to the inside of the local tavern. The various occupants were drinking their beverages and listening, annoyedly, to the tales of a patron with black spiky hair and bat-like wings. Draco: So I says to the guy, I says- Suddenly, Jack and the chicken man burst in through the door. Jack knocked the chicken over the bar with a well-placed uppercut. Getting up off the ground, the chicken grabbed a beer bottle and smashed it on the bar, brandishing the remaining end as a weapon. Jack, similarly, picked up the closest bar stool. As the chicken lunged at Jack, the winged warrior turned the bar stool legs-side-forward, trapping the chicken's wing/arm between the legs. He then twisted the stool around, pinning the chicken's arm/wing painfully behind its back. Before the chicken could retaliate with its other limb, Jack kneed it solidly in the stomach. Jack: I *knee to the stomach* have had *knee to the stomach* enough *knee to the stomach* of YOU! Jack then gave the chicken-man one last solid punch in the jaw/beak, knocking the opponent out cold. Draco: Dude.... what the? Jack: *pant* Chicken... *pant* Gave me.... *pant* A bad coupon... |

| Kirby: I feel really bad now.. I thought she was kinda snippy.. but she was just worried for her brother..
Kirby looked up, as he heard the Star Stone making a whooshing kind of noise. The Star Stone was spinning like crazy, and eventually shot out a Toad person onto the platform. Kirby: Holy Cucco! Look! ???: Whoa... Is this... Am I back in the Glitz Pit? The Toad guy was wearing a dark blue karate gi, and had a bit of blonde hair coming out of the front of his mushroom cap, much like Jolene. Jolene: MUSH!! Mush: Oh... Is that really you, Sis? What are you doing here? I... er.. I was just.. Jolene: There, there, Mush, it's okay. It's all over... finally. Kirby looks up at the Star Stone. "What else is that thing capable of?" Jolene: Oh.. yes... The Star Stone is now yours. Kirby: You.. okay for us to just take it? Jolene: It's better that you have it... So that nothing like this will ever happen again. YOU GOT A THE GOLD STAR STONE! THE GROUP'S STAR POWER HAS RISEN, AND KIRBY LEARNED THE SUPER MOVE "POWER LIFT"! END OF CHAPTER! Glitzville's seamy underside was a dark, dangerous place seething with conspiracy.... With the help of the lovely Ms. Jolene, Kirby and the others revealed Grubba's true identity... And acquired the third Crystal Star by defeating the monstrous Macho Grubba. Grubba had used the power of the Star Stone to run his power-draining machine... What other hidden powers might these strange mystical items possess? |
