Introduction

On an average day in Neopia, the Altador Cup was in motion, but not too far into it. Every team was looking for more ways to get points. They relied on Make Some Noise and Slushie Slinger played by fans in order to help them. But they wanted to make some points themselves then just Yooyuball. Altador, Brightvale, Darigan Citadel, Faerieland, Haunted Woods, Kiko Lake, Krawk Island, Terror Mountain, Tyrannia, Maraqua, Roo Island, Mystery Island, Lost Desert, Meridell, Kreludor, Shenkuu, and Virtupets Space Station all looked for more alternatives, but alas, nothing. But one day, 17 strange notes were posted on the stadium door. They all stated the same thing, but were marked with each team's symbol. Dayla, who was once on the Roo Island team, had come to visit, only to find out that only half of the teams were practicing today. Grabbing the Roo Island note, she darted off…

Roo Island

After running, flying, a boat trip, a Doughnut, and more running, Dayla finally reached Roo Island. She stopped to catch her breath.

"I swear…these guys owe me BIG time…" she muttered. After she could breathe again, she ran about a couple more yards. Lilo Blumario, Clutch Billaban, Jair Tollet, Fenny Vail, and Gordo Gunnels, otherwise just known as the Roo Island team, were practicing Yooyuball outside, since the stadium was only open for practice for half of the teams.

"GUYS!!!" Dayla yelled before collapsing in exhaustion. The other five came over.

"What the heck is it? Can't you see we're BUSY!?" Fenny asked. Dayla weakly held up the note.

"Y-you owe me 500 N-Neopoints for pain and s-suffering…" she muttered.

"What the heck is this supposed to be?" Lilo asked.

"DANGIT JUST READ IT!" Dayla yelled.

"Actually, I'm not really in a reading mood right now…" Lilo explained.

"YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE IN A BREATHING MOOD EITHER IF YOU DON'T READ IT!" Dayla yelled angrily. Lilo sweat dropped.

"Dang…I'll read it I'll read it…" he muttered.

"Dear Roo Island Team,

It has come to my attention that you are eager to collect more points for the Altador Cup. Thus, I have come to the decision that plays will be held. The team who puts on the best performance will win plenty of points, which could very well make you unbeatable. Until then, Ciao!

Anonymous"

"A…play?" Jair asked.

"What the heck do plays have to do with Yooyuball???" Gordo asked. The others shrugged.

"Where might this thing be, anyways?" Clutch asked. Dayla took the note from Lilo and turned it over. It said: "The Stadium, Saturday at Noon, you dolt."

"That answers that question…" Jair commented, sweat dropping. Dayla looked at her watch that appeared out of nowhere.

"Well, it's Saturday, and it's…11:55." She noted.

"DANGIT!" Lilo yelled, annoyed.

"Now we have to fly to flipping Faerieland, go to the stupid stadium, and do a play in FIVE MINUTES!!!" Dayla's watch ticked.

"Four minutes."

"CRUD! Now we must resort to---BREAKING THE 4TH WALL!!!" after everybody else gasped, they went to the Main Page and clicked on the Altador Cup.

"Why didn't we do that a minute ago?" Fenny asked.

"I dunno, I'm just slow today." Lilo explained.

"You're slow everyday…" Dayla mumbled under her breath. As the six of them entered the stadium, it was empty.

"What the heck…? Nobody's here!" Fenny noticed.

"That's obvious, shorty." Gordo mumbled. Fenny kicked him in the shin and moved onwards.

"So…now what?" Jair asked. Suddenly, a strange cold/evil feeling wind blew through.

"Clutch, did you close the door?" Dayla asked. The Wind slammed it shut.

"That answers that." Clutch said. Suddenly, the Wind seemed to attack them in some sort of way, like, I dunno, MAGIC. Suddenly, they all blacked out.

They were going to be ticked off when they woke up…

…Toad Town?

Ki. Ki the Orange Shapeshifter…she was fairly popular around these parts for saving the world and stuff. Like every day, she wore a new outfit. Her hair was down, she wore a rainbow colored shirt, and her usual jeans, but they had rainbow sparkles on them. As she leaned against the outside of the Toad Town Inn, she suddenly heard a loud crash coming from the outskirts of town.

"Greaaaaaaat." She mumbled, walking to the outskirts.

Toad Town Outskirts

As Ki strolled along, the scenery brought back memories. After all, she had been here tons of times.

"I think it came from over here…" she mumbled, slipping behind the usual background. Surprisingly, it was the clearing where Linn and Ki first experienced the Wind.

"Hello?" she asked, waiting for a reply. There was no answer.

"Crud…" Ki mumbled.

"Now I have to WALK around and find out what the heck happened…" suddenly, she paused. A giant tree was knocked over.

"WHAT THE HECK!?" that tree was one of the biggest trees around. You would have to be warping from another dimension along with a strong wind or magic or something to knock that over…Ki paused.

"Dangit, it's the whole thing over again…" she mumbled. (Read the Mirror series) Sighing, Ki walked over to it and looked around.

"Hellooooooo?" she asked again. Suddenly, she saw somebody who was lucky enough to not be squished to death by the colossal tree. Little did she know, it was Lilo Blumario…

The Inn

Ki burst into the Toad Town Inn, dragging Lilo.

"Vita?" she asked.

"Wha happened?" Vita asked. Vita was the Innkeeper at the Toad Town Inn. Ki threw Lilo onto the bed, literally.

"What the heck?" Vita asked.

"Don't ask me, I don't even know. I found this guy unconscious on the outskirts of town. He was fortunate enough to not be killed by this giant tree that collapsed…but I'm guessing due to the need of magic to knock over that thing, this is Dimentio's work." Ki explained.

"…That's sort of obvious." Vita commented, sweat dropping.

"Sooo…what do we do now?" Ki asked.

"Umm…wait?" Vita suggested.

"Works for me…"

5 minutes later…

Suddenly, Lilo woke up.

"ZOMG WHERE THE HECK AM I!?" he asked frantically. Ki and Vita sweat dropped.

"Umm…the Toad Town Inn." Vita explained.

"Huh?" Lilo asked, jumping out of the bed.

"The Toad Town Inn." Vita explained, slower this time.

"Where in Neopia is that? Would it be anywhere close to Altador or Faerieland or something?" he asked, confused.

"Umm…we're located near the Forever Forest and the Outskirts of Toad Town, and there's some pipes that lead to other places…" Ki explained. Lilo blinked twice.

"Did TNT revamp again?" he asked.

"What the heck are you talking about!?" Vita asked.

"Did TNT change Neopia again? Because I don't know what you're…" Ki cut him off.

"This isn't Neopia. This is the Marioverse, the Mushroom Planet, some people call this place Plit…you know."

"Sweet Queen Fyora…" Lilo muttered, falling over.

"…Well then." Vita commented.

End of Chapter…

Kitayl: That ends the first chapter of the story. We are left with many questions. Is Dimentio behind this, and if so, why? Where is everybody else? Will other teams end up like this? Where the heck did Dayla get a doughnut!? These questions (except that last one) will be answered throughout the story and such. R&R please! Ciao!
