Chapter four:

The smell of pizza and other foods filled the Port Court. Most Overworld players were celebrating. Tom, Kaz, Sarah, and Peyton were sitting together, just like normal. Tom had been so depressed after hearing Maxxor had been killed by the Mipedians, but now there were no word to express how happy he was. A robot with a tray of milkshakes set one down in front of each player at the table. Peyton couldn't help but give the robot a hug.

"Peyton," Sarah said, "don't embarrass me."

Peyton let go. "Sorry, Sarbear." Peyton said before turning his attention back to the robot, who was heading away from Peyton, slightly concerned "Yo, robro, I'm gonna need two more of these."

The robot turned toward Peyton to show that he heard him, but didn't say anything, then headed toward another table to take another order. "Poor guy must be new." Peyton said "He seems a little confused. Maybe even nervous."

"It's a robot." Kaz reminded him

"So?" Peyton asked "Robots have feeling too."

"No they don't." Kaz said, getting annoyed by how silly Peyton seemed

"Well that's racist!" Peyton said just little too loud. Several tables looked at them, not sure of what was going on.

"I wonder what Klay did this time?" a Hispanic girl said, assuming Peyton was talking about something Klay said or did. She went by Lala.

"I heard Krystella pushed some little kid last week at the Lava Pond." her darker skinned friend told her "I wonder if that had something to do with it."

"No, Lilly," Lala said "I'm sure it was Klay."

Their mixed friend looked around then told them, "I heard Klay was hitting on a black girl while Krystella was in a match the other day."

"You don't say?" Lilly said "What happened, Rihn?"

"I don't know." Rihn told them "I don't even remember who told me. You guys know how my memory is."

"Speaking of you being forgetful," Lala said "don't you have match soon?"

"Oh no!" Rihn shot up and took off "I'm going to be late again!"

"So Lala," Lilly said once they couldn't see their friend anymore. They never could understand how Rihn could run so fast "do you think Klay would do that to Krystella?"

"I don't even know if they're in that kind of relationship." Lala told Lilly

"But they're always together."

"Did you dudes hear that?" Peyton asked "Just when I thought this day couldn't get any better."

"What do you mean, Peyton?" Tom asked

"Rihn Wu has a match now." Peyton said

"That's Rihn Wu?" Sarah asked "We were sitting that close to her?"

"Who's Rihn Wu?" Tom asked

"Rihn Wu is one of the three Princesses of Chaotic." Kaz said

"Princesses of Chaotic?" Tom said "You mean like the Chaotic Kings?"

"No, Tom." Sarah said "The Princesses of Chaotic are called that because they act like fairytale princesses. You know, naïve, loves animals, totally boy crazy."

"And each one of them based their Chaotic codename after one of the leaders of the Three Kingdoms." Kaz said

"The three kingdoms?" Toms asked

"Yeah, yeah, Chinese history." Peyton said "Each of them uses a different tribe. Rihn Wu uses Danians."

"I think it's because she can relate to ants." Sarah said "She's a lot stronger than she looks, but without her friends, the poor girl is hopeless."

"Lilly Wei isn't as strong as Rihn," Kaz said "but she's not as forgetful either, especially if you make her mad. She's a bit destructive, and a total gossip. Lala Shu uses mostly Overworlders. She says it's because they're the cutest. She's a little full of herself and isn't very tough, but she's smart."

"Their buddy LightningBlitz is a total Mipedian fan." Peyton told them

"He's cute," Sarah said "but he's not very social, to say the least."

"Lately he's been busy with something in Perim." Kaz said

"You think he knows anything about why the Mipedians are so powerful all of a sudden?" Tom asked

"If he does, he's not tellen' nobody." Peyton said before turning his attention to a robot "Yo, robro," Peyton called "two more strawberry milkshakes. Extra thick, buddy!"

"You don't need any more sugar." Sarah told him "You've already had a milkshake and three large sodas."

Tom got up and started walking away. "Tom," Kaz asked "Where are you going?"

"To talk with those girls." Tom said

"What for?" Sarah asked, getting jealous

"To see if LightningBlitz said anything to them." Tom told them,

"If LightningBlitz said anything to them word would be out by now." Sarah told him "They couldn't keep a secret if you tied them up and put duct tape over their mouths."

Tom just ignored her, desperate to know what was going on. Maxxor could have been killed last time he took on the Mipedians, and the Overworld ruler might not be so lucky next time.
