Chapter 7- The Darkshell Knights

After the match with The Fuzz; Kooper, Parakarry, and Bombette met back in the locker room to collect their prize money from Jolene and take a quick break. Jolene told them "Congratulations Bombshell, you're not ranked at 18th. Here is your prize money, and feel free to take a break if needed. Goodbye for now." She handed each of them 2 coins for the victory and left the locker room.

Kooper sat down on the bench, still a little shaken by Cortez's antics. He still felt angered, but he managed to approach King K and thank him anyway "Hey, King K. That was really cool of you to get my shell back! That shell is the most important thing I have next to my life!"

King K. gladly replied, as Bombette and Parakarry listened as well "It's was no prob homes, I've been down dat' road too. Damn fuzzies raided mah' hometown one day when I was bout' your age, an robbed me of mah' dignity! Damn them bastards!" It can happen to any Koopa Troopa!

Parakarry asked Kooper "Kooper, you do know that skull guy from Rougeport is here right? I know he had something to do with the fuzzy taking your shell!"

"Yeah, I saw him up in box seats, laughing that annoying laugh he has." Kooper answered.

Bombette suggested "Maybe we should get Jolene to do something about this guy, he's totally bad news!" But Bombette forgot Cortez has Author Powers and he would just end up sucking Jolene in, like that guard.

King K suggested as he looked around for Bandy Andy "You know, maybe I can get mah homie Bandy to go find out more about dis' guy."

Parakarry remembered their encounter with Cortez from earlier "I have what they call 'Author Power's, amigo. I know everything!" Parakarry then brought up that moment by the Black Pearl; Cortez's Ship "Hey, wait…The Skull said something about Author Powers, I think these special powers allow him to interfere with anyone's life."

Kooper said "That would explain how he got to Glitzville, or how he knows like everything!" Kooper then swiped the thoughts about Cortez away from his mind and turned his attention back to fighting, and he asked Bombette and Parakarry "Ah forget it! Who's ready for another match!!!" Kooper held his fist up in joy, just begging for another challenge.

Bombette wasn't ready to quit for the day either, and it was now 4 in the afternoon, and they could probably fit a few more matches in if they had enough energy to do so. She told Kooper "I sure am, but the real question is, are you ready Parakarry?"

Parakarry lowered onto the ground and told Bombette "I'm all set! So, someone go over and schedule…" Parakarry was interrupted when the door burst open, with Jolene dragging in Bandy Andy.

Jolene was furious at the Bandit struggled to free himself. She then tossed him into the Locker Room and yelled "THAT'S IT!!! The next time I catch you trying to steal my keys or ANYTHING again, you and your whole team will be expelled from the Glitz Pit and banned from Glitzville! Do you understand!"

Bandy Andy replied as he got off the cold tiling and he replied "Yeah yeah, sure!!!" As Jolene walked out of the door, and Kooper, Parakarry, Bombette, King K, and a Dark Koopa stared at him he continued "Ya lousy little bitch! Heh heh!"

King K walked over to Bandy and asked "Yo B-Money, still gettin' into trouble homes!"

Kooper then came over to them and asked "What happened?" He was joined by Bombette and Parakarry shortly after. The Dark Koopa just minded his own business, and glared at Bombette.

Bandy Andy explained as he leaned against the lockers "I tried to steal Jolene's keys and the bitch walked in on me while I was!"

"Why would you try to do that?" Parakarry asked.

"Yeah dawg! Why the hell would you need Jolene's keys?"

"Cause! I wanted to rob the vault! You ever hear underneath the Glitz Pit there's a massive basement, hidden inside is the vault containing over 10000000 coins!!!" After hearing about the vault the Dark Koopa's eyes sparkled with the image of money and more money.

The Dark Koopa suddenly spoke "10000000 coins! Dude, That's so radical!!!" He wanted to make sure the rumor was actually true because he was starting to get ideas.

"I know, and me and my team are gonna nab some of that loot someday! Do you ever wonder where Jolene gets all this prize money from! Besides, the damn thing says VAULT KEY!!!"

Kooper walked away towards the interface and said "Alright, that's enough listening for me, I'm gonna go schedule our match!" Kooper was interested in hearing more about Bandy Andy's stories, but he was more anxious for their next match, hoping for a challenge. While Bandy Andy and King K continued to chat, Bombette and Parakarry joined Kooper.

Meanwhile the Dark Koopa wandered towards the back room, and pulled out his phone. He dialed a number and when the phone was answered he suddenly changed his voice. His voice was being disguised while he was around everyone else, but it was clear now that it was Red. He called up his Bros and asked "Dudes! You gotta hear this!!!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Outside and behind the Glitz Pit; Black, Green, and Yellow searched the back area of the Glitz Pit. There was all sorts of equipment such as air conditioners, heaters, generators, and other things. There was even a small oasis area with palm trees and waterfall for some reason. They were trying to find the entrance to the basement area which they thought would be in the back. Green answered the call from Red "Dude, it better be good cause we're still trying to figure out what we're gonna do."

On the other line Red answered "Yeah yeah whatever! I got bigger and cooler plans for us! That stupid bandit guy, Bandy…Uh whatever the hell his name is, well he told the entire locker room there's a vault in the basement of Glitzville containing 10,000,000 coins!!!!"

"No way dude! Are you serious?"

"No! I was joking…Of course I'm serious dude, when we can get down there, we're gonna find that vault, and get our loot, and get the hell outta here!"

Green shouted into the phone "ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME DUDE!!! We gotta stick to Don Koopa's plans! If we just rob the place then leave, we're screwed!!!" Green was the only one who seemed to care, while Black and Yellow were actually siding with Red on this one.

Black convinced Green while he checked behind the waterfall for an entrance to the basement "Dude! We gotta rob the place if they have a vault full of…uhhh…how much did Red say again!?"

"10 million coins! It still sounds pretty cool…but I'm gonna have to pass!"

"AWESOME!!!!"

Red then ordered Green "Dude, if you wanna have it your way, then fine! But I'm the leader so I say we're robbing Glitzville! And if you don't, I'll totally tell everyone about the time you pissed yourself watching Harry Potter."

"You don't even have any proof Red, and that was Yellow you're thinking of!"

"I don't care! We're doing it anyway dude, so catch ya later dude!" Red hung up on purpose like always, and walked out of the room he was in.

Green rolled his eyes as he was disconnected and he said "My god Red can be such an asshole!"

Black also joined in "I know dude, but seriously his plans are a lot cooler than the Koopa dudes!" Black sat down on a rock nearby and began to think about all he could buy if he had that much money.

Yellow started to blabber on about his thoughts about robbing the vault "That would be so cool if we can rob it! I could get a new TV, a new bike, a new stereo, a pool filled with chocolate milk, a…"

Green interrupted him "ALRIGHT!!!!!! I get it, we can buy whatever we want! But no matter what we still have to stick to the Mafia's plans…unless we want to be beaten to a pulp…." He remained loyal to his obligations to deactivate the jet's keeping the floating city in the air, yet he did have thoughts of robbing Glitzville now.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the Minor League Locker Room when Red returned; Kooper, Bombette, and Parakarry listened as they were being instructed by Jolene from the interface. Jolene explained to them "Good afternoon Bombshell, are you ready for another exhilarating fight? Your next opponent will be…Ranked 17th in the Glitz Pit, The Darkshell Knights. Now pay attention, I want you to take damage from your opponent at least 5 times. Good luck!" The interface then turned off.

Kooper turned around to look at the Dark Koopa (or Red) and he told Bombette and Parakarry "Wow, we have to take damage at least 5 times…man these commands she's giving us are pretty lame!"

"Yeah, they are pretty stupid!" Parakarry agreed.

"Well at least we'll have more of a challenge seeing as we're facing…" Kooper pointed out Red, who he still has no clue he's Red and said "That guy."

Red replied as he pointed to himself "You're kidding right! OOOOHH!!! You're gonna get owned!!!" Red bragged, but in the Glitz Pit he was known as Blazer since he had to hide his identity.

Bombette approached him and argued back "Oh yeah! Bring it!"

"Grrrrrr…You'll wish you never faced me an my bros!" He then texted Black, Green, and Yellow to meet him in the locker room since it was time for a match, "Dudes, it's about time we got our revenge! We're facing Bombette, that loser Kooper, and that stupid Paratroopa with the pilot's helmet! Get over here dudes!"

All of a sudden the door swung open with the security guard standing there. He called out for Kooper and co. "Team Bombshell will you please follow me." With that Kooper, Bombette, and Parakarry were off to their next match, with Bombette flipping Red off.

Bombette said as they headed towards the arena "My god I hate assholes like that Dark Koopa!"

Kooper said "Don't worry about him, we'll beat him and his bros to the ground!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The crowd was in an uproar as Jolene started to announce the match. "In this corner, the dynamo trio, please welcome Team BOMBSHELL!!!!!" Kooper, Bombette, and Parakarry headed on up to the stage cheering and getting all psyched up for the match. Jolene then introduced the Darkshell Knights "And in this corner the Koopa's of the Night, THE DARKSHELL KNIGHTS!!!!"

The Darkshell Knights walked up on the stage trying to look all cool and everything. Blazer, or Red shouted out to Bombette "You ready to get this on!"

Bombette replied angrily "It's on asshole!" Tensions could already be sensed between the two, similar to the real grudge that exists between Red and Bombette.

Jolene then announced to the teams "Alright I want a nice clean match, and I want to see you take damage at least 5 times…Alright? BRAWL!!!!"

Team Bombshell vs. The Darkshell Knights.

And the "grudge" match was on! To start off the two teams discussed a strategy. Kooper started as he, Bombette, and Parakarry huddled into a group "Alright, since this may take a while knowing Dark Koopas have a defense of 2, we'll have to take em' out quickly."

Parakarry asked "What about their Dizzy Attack??? And about that taking damage 5 times?"

Bombette suggested "Parakarry, you'll be fine. And I suggest we should have either me or Kooper should take the damage for the team. I vote Kooper for that position!"

"Why me?"

"Because it won't hurt you as much as it'll damage me, doesn't your shell protect you and don't you have the same amount of defense as a Dark Koopa?"

"Yeah, your right…I guess it does make sense when you put it that way." Kooper then tossed himself inside his shell at the Dark Koopa in front, who happened to be Red. Kooper had knocked off about 3 of his total of 12HP.

Bombette then did a body slam on the same Dark Koopa, reducing him down to only 6hp.

Parakarry took his turn to do a Shell Shot on the 2nd, which happened to be Black. He withdrew into his shell and fired himself towards him, taking away half of the so called Dark Koopa's HP.

Red, or the 1st Dark Koopa then tried to do a shell toss at Bombette, but Kooper quickly slid inside his shell, over to Bombette to block the attack. The rest of them all tried to go for Bombette as well, but as according to the plan Kooper blocked each shell toss, and took the damage.

Kooper had taken about 8 damage from all 4 attacks, leaving him with 22 HP, yet it wouldn't affect him at all. Bombette congratulated Kooper "Great job Kooper! All going according to plan!" Bombette then did another Body Slam on Blazer, reducing him to around 3HP.

Kooper thanked Bombette "Thanks!" He then withdrew into his shell, and tossed himself at the 3rd Dark Koopa, who was Yellow, who goes under the name of Zap in the Glitz Pit. Zap took the same amount of damage any of them took due to his defense, but he was still standing strong.

Parakarry then said "We're gonna have to end this before any of them get any dumb ideas…like the Dizzy Shell!" He then did another Shell Shot on the 2nd Dark Koopa, putting Black(or Jet) in danger. Black only had 2 HP left.

Blazer then spun around rapidly and prepared for a Dizzy Shell, he then launched himself at Kooper and Bombette. Parakarry shouted out to Bombette and Kooper as he rose higher in the air, "Look out!!!" Kooper and Bombette quickly dodged it thanks to Parakarry.

Before Kooper could get off the ground, Jet launched himself at Kopper. Bombette cried out "KOOPER LOOK OUT!!!!!"

Kooper turned around and said "Huh? OH SHI…!!!" Jet had whizzed by Kooper and Bombette sending them into a dizzying spin. They felt like they were drunk all of a sudden and they couldn't fight any longer. Kooper drunkenly groaned "Ugggghhhhhh…Not a Dizzy Shell…"

Parakarry shouted out "KOOPER!!!! BOMBETTE!!!!"

Blazer then laughed "AHAHAHAHAHA!!! Take that Bombette!!!" Zap, and Green aka Blade, then launched themselves at Bombette who was completely vulnerable, taking away a total of 8 HP from her 35 total HP.

Parakarry then told Bombette and Kooper "Don't worry guys! I got a plan!" Parakarry then tried out a new move, similar to Air Lift, but it was much more effective. Parakarry flew over and snatched Blazer off the ground.

Blazer started to struggle to free himself from Parakarry's grasp. Once Parkarry had taken him up as far as the arena ceiling he started to complain "Hey! This is not cool!!! Let me go RIGHT NOW!!!"

Parakarry answered "Alright!" He then chucked Blazer down towards the ground, and Blazer had hit Jet on impact, KOing both of them at the same time.

To avenge their brothers death Zap, and Blade then did a Power Shell on both Kooper and Bombete, taking away a total of 4 HP for Kooper, and 8 HP for Bombette. Kooper only had about 18 HP left, while Bombette still had 19 HP.

Parakarry then did that Air Throw on Zap this time, and it ended up in another KO for Parakarry.

Only Blade was left, all alone with no support. He tried to do another Shell Toss on Bombette, but Bombette quickly regained control and returned the favor with a Super Guard. Bombette had Koed Blade, and Bombshell had won another victory.

Jolene shouted out as the Darkshell Knights groaned in pain "BOMBSHELL WINS!!!!!!"

Kooper had recovered by know and got off the ground and watched as the defeated Darkshell Knights, or Koopa Bros failed to beat them again. He congratulated Parakarry "Way to go man! You sure showed them!" He then jumped up to give him a high five.

The team started to celebrate and Bombette even shouted out to Blazer "TAKE THAT ASSHOLE!!!"

As Red lied on the ground he growled under his breath "You'll get it someday! Oh you'll see…..Ughh…" He then collapsed on the ground.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the Locker Room Jolene congratulated Kooper, Bombette, and Parakarry on another victory "Congratulations on another well earned victory, here is your prize money." She then handed them 4 coins each, and Bombshell was now ranked at 17th in the Glitz Pit. She then left the locker room and closed the door.

Kooper and Bombette were in need of a well earned rest now, and they decided to take a break for today. They sure were lucky Parakarry pulled through for them like that with that new Air Throw move. But there was defiantly something Bombette didn't like about Blazer, but she'll find out the truth sooner or later.

What do you know, The Koopa Bros, or Darkshell Knights failed again! But now Red has some new plans to rob Glitzville, so we'll see how that works out for them. Next chapter we'll take a short break from fighting to see some more of Glitzville, and we'll take a look at what the Koopa Bros are up to, and maybe Spike will show up. And where was Cortez this chapter…? He's not gonna be in every single chapter, but he may appear again next chapter to wreck more havoc! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

By the way The Koopa Bros do go by the names of Blazer(Red), Jet(Black), Zap(Yellow), and Blade(Green) in the Glitz Pit. I just couldn't come up with one for Green, that was tough! Till next time.
