BATTLE ROYALE

Episode 9

Training & Preparing

Chapter 1

It had been two days since the All-Stars have been invaded by the Polygon Man's army and some of them kept away from others to be alone, mostly because of the huge argument. However some seem to be ashamed of how pathetic they were when fighting the clones.

During those two days the All-Stars rebuilt their mansion using so many playstation points for parts, Sackboy used his PopIt as well so he can use his parts for rebuilding and added some of his creations to make their new home look nice.

All of this hard work was finished thanks to Toro and his leadership skills. He made sure that everyone was doing their job on repairing and fixing the mansion and also made sure that none of the All-Stars were slacking off.

Toro is the only one out of the All-Stars who seems to know what it takes to be a good leader. All that hard work on rebuilding the mansion was like making a simple cup of tea. Toro knew an important skill when working with others, 'Teamwork'. Teamwork is the vital key to success. Toro knew that very well but he wasn't sure if the others knew it too. The battle they had with the clones and the huge argument just proves how uncooperative the whole team is.

He went around their new home to see what everyone was up to and how they were doing. Toro was becoming more of a caretaker to the All-Stars, not that it was his job but it was something he liked doing since he was living with his favourite Playstation heroes.

Toro opened the door to the training room to see Raiden, Cole, Sir Daniel and Nariko doing some training. The training room became more like a dojo but even bigger filled with training dummies, sentry turrets, AP boxes, obstacle courses, a full arsenal of weaponry that the All-Stars use for item pickups and much more.

The dojo wasn't the only improvement of rebuilding the mansion. The All-Stars added more bedrooms for more newcomers to join the All-Stars team. The garage has been improved so now there are landing pads for any flying vehicles and more garage doors for ground vehicles. A workshop is now available for fixing, repairing or even building anything the All-Stars needed. The AP Extractor has now been moved from the garage to the top floor so the newcomers are able to use the All Star power and are able to use supers. More and more things will be stored for the All-Stars but it would have to wait.

Cole and Raiden were on the other end doing their own training just to stay away from Nariko who was in a bad mood. She was slashing the dummies that stood in her way showing no mercy. Sir Daniel was either brave or stupid to be right next to the heavenly goddess and fight his own dummy that was right infront of him. Normally he would be scared of Nariko if she was really angry or wanted to destroy something. Infact Sir Daniel was pretty much scared of the other All-Stars who looked scary, threatening or even skilled than he is. But with Nariko it was different.

Right at the beginning before he was off on his quest to fight the evil creatures (The All-Stars), Nariko was the first person he ran into. At first he liked her; she looked beautiful and realised that she might be a great warrior, even far greater than him.

He remembered how she was surrounded by a lot of men who wanted to get the sword from her. He got all his courage to fight those awful soldiers to help her. Sir Daniel felt proud of himself that he became brave when it came to fighting them.

He suddenly lost all that courage when the Heavenly Goddess pointed her sword right infront of his face. At first she thought that King Bohan had summoned this creature to take her down but after realising that the skeletal knight attacked the guards instead of her she trusted him. Even he was trying to explain to her that he never planned to attack her. He even talked about how he was resurrected to take down the evil creatures that posed a threat to Gallowmere which he was sent to fight and also believed Zarok was behind it all, even though he had been defeated and vanquished.

After their discussion they decided to team up only to go up against more All-Stars and other things that stood in their way. Along their journey they became more than teammates, they then developed into a trustworthy friendship.

Sir Daniel was still in his thoughts when he woke up only realising his head was upside down on the floor and his body was trying to reach his head.

"Hmm, how did this happen?" the skeletal knight asked himself.

He didn't notice that when he was in his own thoughts he didn't pay any attention to Nariko's sword spinning rapidly which managed to knock Sir Daniels head off. She didn't even noitce herself as she was mainly focusing on fighting the dummies. Cole and Raiden gulped and immediately went back to their own training.

Toro decided to leave them be and carried on looking over the mansion to see what everyone else remaining were up too. What this meant was that some of the All-Stars left the mansion not because they quitted being in the All-Star group but it was because some All-Stars had things they needed taking care of.

Heihachi was off with Kuma in a Tekken tag tournament. Ratchet and Clank were off to fight some space pirates and harvest more golden bolts. Jak and Daxter went back to Sandover Village to gather more eco. Fat Princess went back to her kingdom with her soldiers to fight off another kingdom to get more cake. Kratos was out fighting monsters in the underworld. Zeus went back to his throne in Olympus.

The other All-Stars that Toro knew were home but he had no idea where Radec is or what he was up too. Probably he was in his room mending his weapons or something. No one ever steps foot in his room because if anyone did he would get out his shotgun and will try to kill those who dare step in his own territory. So Toro thought it would be a good idea to not let something like that happen to him.

He walked down the hallway to get to the breakfast room to get a nice hot drink. He went past a few bedrooms of the All-Stars. On his way he moved out of the way as Parappa was riding his skateboard down the hallway with Spike following right behind him using a jet powered scooter.

(Incase you're wondering this is not a gadget that Spike has in Ape Escape. He spent his Playstation Points into affording the Jet Powered Scooter because he thought it was cool and wanted to get it)

Parappa and Spike were only just having a race against each other racing down the hallway. They noticed Toro moving down the hallway so they moved to the side so they won't hit him.

"Looks like I'm gonna win" said Parappa as he kept on using his foot to give him more speed.

"No I'm gonna win!" Spike said back to his friend as he put more boost into his scooter.

They both made a left turn and were gone from Toro's sight.

Toro kept on moving until he reached the breakfast room. He made himself a nice hot drink then went to his bedroom.

His friend Kuro was on the computer as usual but Toro didn't mind as he just went to his small table desk, got out his little diary and began writing.

Dear Diary

Not many nice and good things have been happening lately. It's been a few days since we fought against the Polygon Mans clones and everyone seems to be keeping their distances from one another.

I feel as if this group is breaking apart. But I hope it doesn't come to that. We need to keep the whole All-Star group together and hopefully get some more people to join. Oh speaking of people we have two newcomers who are going to join the All-Star group. Their names are Pupuru and Neptune.

I hope we can get more to join. That's all I have to say for now. I hope to write more good things in the future.

Toro

As soon as Toro finished writing in his diary there was a ring from the front door of the mansion.

'That must be Pupuru and Neptune' Thought Toro excitedly.

He rushed down to the front door to welcome the newcomers.
