Chapter 10: The Bonehemoth

I woke up and found myself in the oddest looking place ever. There was broken boats, pools of goo, lampost, and even more random stuff.

What happened? Cera asks.

There was that whale... Bert says.

NOOOOOOOO! WE'VE BEEN EATEN BY A WHALE! Tro yells.

Pauleen and Rupert also wake up and we stand up. We're all covered in this weird goo.

"Is everyone ok?" I ask.

"Yep." Pauleen says.

"Yes." Rupert says.

"Good." I say.

"Where are we?" Rupert asks.

We all look around.

"Well, we were at Icegrip Plateau, and then there was the huge wave and... Oh no! We've been swallowed by a whale!" Pauleen says before she starts crying. "Waaaaaah! W-we're gonna be digested! I don't wanna be whale food! I'm to beautiful! Waaaaaaah!"

"Slap a fish and call me roughy! I come over to investigate all this racket, and instead I find company!" A man says as he walks up. He's got long, grayish-brown hair that covers his eyes, torn up clothes, and a green ball with a face drawn on it tucked under his arm.

"Waaaa... Oh. Um, hello." Pauleen says as she stops crying. "Do you... live here?"

"The name's Robinson and it's a right pleasure to meetcha." The man says.

"Hi. I'm Dina."

"I'm Pauleen."

"And I'm Rupert."

"This whale's called the Bonehemoth, see, and he like to chew on ice cubes." Robinson says. "So there I was, doing a bit'a fishin' on an ice floe, when up he swims, cool as you please. Dag nab fish up and swallowed me in ine bite! That was near ten years ago now, give or take a few."

What's up with people telling me things I either know, or don't want to hear recently? I ask my vivosaurs.

Don't know. All my vivosaurs except Tro say.

We've been EATEN by a WHALE! Tro says sadly.

"You've been here for ten years?!" Pauleen asks. "By yourself?!"

"Naw, I ain't by myself!" Robinson says. "I done gone and made a friend, see? Lemme introduce you folks to m'best friend in the whole, wide whale... Balliver!" He holds up the green ball. "...Now, Balliver, where's your manners? Go on and say hello to the nice folks now! ...Uh-huh. Yeah, I know. It's gonna be a lot loudrt with all these folks here. ...Well, Balliver, that's good to hear. I'mm happy to have company m'self."

"...Psst! That's just a ball with a face drawn on it." Pauleen whispers.

"Perhaps his loneliness was so great he felt the need to invent a friend." Rupert whispers back.

"Aw, look at me!" Robinson says. "Flappin' m'gums while you stand there ankle deep in chum. You folks should wander around! See the sights! Get acquainted with your new home. This here Bonehemoth swallows all kinds of stuff, so if you want it, you can probably find it. In fact, take a look over yonder." He point over to a VMM and KL-33N.

Ok, this whale really DOES eat EVERYTHING! I say.

"OH. MY. GOSH." Pauleen says as she runs over to the VMM and KL-33N. She starts playing with the VMM. "Aw, nuts. The teleporter is broken! ...But you can still switch Dino Medals in and out, so that's something."

"Hello-BEEP!" KL-33N says. "I was swallowed along with this revive machine-VOOT. Even in this terrible place, I can help with all your cleaning needs-BWOOP."

"Oh, hey! That's handy. Thanks, KL-33N." Pauleen says before she runs back over.

"Robinson, is there anyway to escape from this place?" Rupert asks.

"Escape?" Robinson asks. "Fish guts! Why would you wanna go and do a thing like that?!"

"Because, we need too." I tell him.

"...Well, if you're serious, I s'pose you could take it up with Lord Tonzilla." Robinson says. "He's whatcha might call the surpreme ruler if this place, see? He's at the top of the food chain and the top of the Bonehemoth's digestive tract!" He points down a path. "If you folks could defeat Lord Tonzilla, you might be able to escape this place. But I can't imagine why you'd wanna do such a thing! ...And neither can Balliver!" He leaves.

"Ok, I don't care what the crazy man thinks, we have to beat Lord Tonzilla and get out of here!" Pauleen says.

"I hate to be the optimist, but at least we can excavate, clean, and revive fossil rocks here." Rupert says. "Yes, well, we should split up and prepare ourselves. We'll meet again in the Bonehemoth's digestive tract." He and Pauleen leaves.

I go further in, digging. Eventually, I see a shopkeeper, probably the one from Ilium's Fossil Guild.

Now the thing ate a poor shopkeeper? Tro asks.

Apparently. I say.

"Uh, hi." I say as I walk up to her.

"Um... where am I?" She asks. "I was out walking on Icegrip Plateau when things got really dark. ...I'm not dead, right?"

"No." I say. "You're not dead. You've been eaten by a whale."

"Wait, what?!" The shopkeeper asks. "I've been EATEN?!"

"Yep." I say.

"Man, that is a serious downer." The shopkeeper says. I guess I might as well set up shop while I'm waiting for a rescue. Anything you need?"

"Nope." I say. "I just wanted to see if you were ok."

"Oh." She says. "Ok. Thanks."

"No problem." I say before I leave.

Further in, I see the BB Brigade trio standing there, complaining. They're also covered in goo.

"Maaaaaan, this place is sooooo not groovy." Lola whines. "It's all dark and smelly and gooey. And I keep smelling, like, fish? Tooooootal drag, man."

"Grr... I totally hate enclosed spaces! I think I have closetphobia!" Lester says.

"Even my hair can't handle having this much goo in it!" Cole says. "We have to get out of here before I lose my just-woke-up look."

"Hi." I say as I walk up.

"This is, like, all your fault." Lola says angrily. "You're a toooootal buzz kill."

"Yeah!" Cole says, also angrily. "If you hadn't meddled with our plans, none of this would have happened! We'd be ruling the Caliosteo Islands and not trapped inside some stupid fish!"

"Ok, why do you think I knew this thing would eat us?" I ask. "I mean, it's not like I can tell when a whale is about to eat people! Also, a whale is a mammal, not a fish. Dolphins are also mammals. Why do you think whales and dolphins have blowholes? It's so they can BREATHE! And, like I said, I didn't know this thing would eat us! I don't have a built in whale radar!" So, I kept saying that I didn't know that we were going to be eaten by a whale, and that whales and dolphins are mammals.

"Okay. We get it." Cole says after about ten minutes of me saying all those things over and over and over.

"Okay. Sorry." I say. "So, why do you want to take over the Caliosteo Islands anyway?"

"...Huh." Lester says. "You wanna know why we want the islands?"

"Didn't I just say that?" I ask him. Instead of answering, Lester laughs.

"Like I'd tell you!" He says. "We've got plans! Big plans! Really... really big plans."

They don't know. I tell my vivosaurs, who laugh.

"Look, our boss, Don Boneyard, told us to cancel the Cup and drive off the Fighters, so that's what we're doing." Cole says. "We'll deal with other stuff when the time comes."

"Your BOSS is Don Boneyard?!" I ask, pretending to be surprised. "REALLY?! You know, I thought that because you guys are BB Brigade MEMBERS and he's the BB Brigade LEADER, I thought you had a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT boss. This is SO SURPRISING!" They just glare at me, while all my vivosaurs are laughing like crazy.

Lola, who apparently was still chewing gum after being eaten by a whale, blew a bubble with her gum, which popped.

"Sooooo, like, you're not even a member of Don Boneyard's evil gang, right?" She asks.

"Nope." I say. "Why would I be trying to stop you if I was?"

"Then maybe you should stay out of this and, like, stop asking questions." She says, ignoring my latest question.

"...Yeah, I don't have energy to answer questions all day." Cole says. "So blow."

"Whatever, Weird Hair and Clothes Brigade." I say before I go further down the path, leaving the BB Brigade looking at me weirdly and my vivosaurs almost dying of laaughter.

I can't believe you actually called them that. Cera says, still laughing.

And did you see the looks on their faces? They were like, "What did you just call us?" Not in a mean way, but a confused way. Bert says, also laughing.

And what you said when Cole said their boss was Don Boneyard was also REALLY funny! Anubis says.

Or you're answer to Lola's question. I agree, why would you be trying to stop them if you were on their side? Typhoon says.

Thanks guys. And Typhoon, that was my point. I say. Tro was laughing the whole time.

Oh. Typhoon says.

I go further in, with my vivosaurs still laughing, and eventually see Rupert and Pauleen.

"Hey!" Pauleen says as I walk up. "We think that Lord Tonzilla thing is up ahead."

"Are you ready, Dina?" Rupert asks.

"I'm ALWAYS ready." I say.

"Right." He says. "Let's go."

"We're coming for you LOrd Tonzilla!" Pauleen says before we go down the path.

Further in, we see Lord Tonzilla.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa...? All my vivosaurs ask.

Surprisingly, this doesn't surprise me. I say.

Lord Tonzilla was a tonsil. He was big and pink, with barnacles for eyes, a mouth, something that looks like seaweed for arms, and a dropping fossil on its head.

"That must be Lord Tonzilla." Rupert says.

"Whaaaat?!" Pauleen asks. "It's just a giant tonsil! Stand back, kids. Pauleen's gonna perform a little oral surgery on this loser!"

We walk over to it, and Pauleen kicks it. It turns red, and I'm not joking I think I heard it say, "...Toooooonziiiiiiiill?"

Rupert runs over and steps in front of Pauleen, making her stop kicking it.

"Pauleen, no!" He says. "Stop kicking it!"

Lord Tonzilla suddenly hits them, and says "TOOOONZIIIIIIL!"

"Rupert! Pauleen!" I yell.

"Watch out!" Rupert yells right before that thing attacks me.

So, it turns out Lord Tonzilla can be a vivosaur. It's a earth-type, at rank 5.

I put in Anubis, Tro, and Cera. I have higher speed, so I go first.

"Cera, Enflame Anubis! And Anubis, Krypto Fang on Lord Tonzilla!" They do, and Anubis does 134 damage.

Man, this thing's tough. I think.

We can still handle it no problem. Anubis says.

Lord Tonzilla uses Dangel on Anubis, doing 170 damage.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...?! I think.

"Anubis, Krypto Combo on Tonzilla!" He does, doing 153 damage, defeating it.

Rupert and Pauleen walk back over.

"I never thought I'd be pummeled by a giant pink tonsil." Pauleen says. "...It's a little embarrassing."

"I fail to understand how this thing will help us escape the whale." Rupert says.

Robinson come running up, and looks shocked and scared when he sees that I defeated Lord Tonzilla.

"Y-you actually did it!" He says, still shocked and scared. "You knocked out Lord Tonzilla! There's a flood a'comin' now, and no denyin'. Come on Balliver! We've gotta get to the boat! All aboard who's goin' aboard!" He leaves.

"I think Robinson's lost his mind." Pauleen says. "How can knocking over a tonsil cause a flood?"

The ground suddenly shakes.

"...Um, what was that?" Pauleen asks.

Wait... A tonsil... A flood... Oh my gosh we're about to be thrown up by a whale. Anubis says.

WHAT?! All my other vivosaurs and I ask.

"Perhaps Robinson is not quite the madman we took him for." Rupert says. "You know how the gag reflex can be triggered by stimulating the tonsil? Well, perhaps..." The ground shakes again.

"Wait a second..." Pauleen says, starting to get what was going on. "So you're saying... What's going to happen is..."

Before she could finish, a wave came rushing towards us. The BB Brigade trio were running like crazy, but didn't out run it. Soon, Pauleen, Rupert, and I got caught in it as well.

So, I'm covered in what's probably fish guts, and now... I don''t want to say it. I tell my vivosaurs.

Soon, we get blown out the Bonehemoth's blowhole, and start falling.

"What are we going to do?!" Paullen asks as we start falling.

"Uh... I got it!" I say as I let out Typhoon. "Typhoon, PLEASE HELP US!" He catches us, and lands on the ice around where we fought the BB Brigade. "Thank you SO much, Typhoon."

No problem. He says happily before going back into his Dino Medal.

"Nice save." Rupert says.

"Thanks." I say.

We walk a little bit, and find Robinson.

"Oh, there you are!" He says when we walk up. "Thought you folks were lost for good, I did."

"We were in the Bonehemoth, and then there was this giant wave and...yeah." Pauleen says.

"I told you not to mess with the natural order'a things!" Robinson says. "You lot are lucky to be up and walkin' around, you are." He pauses for a second before continuing. "Still, I'm a free man once more, and I suppose I owe you m'thanks. It's been ten years since I last smelled fresh air. Ten long years... Well, I best be gettin' back to my trade, eh? Them fish won't catch themselves. ...Good day to you folks." He leaves.

"Okay, so that was kind of a low point for the Patrol Team." Pauleen says, still grossed out by being thrown up by a whale. "But what matters is that we're out!"

"Low point?" I ask. "We got thrown up by a whale! That's beyond a low point!" Pauleen and Rupert just stare at me. "Sorry."

"Anyway, I should thank my lucky stars we're even alive." Paullen says. "...Oh, and Lord Tonzilla, too, I guess."

And Typhoon. I think.

Thanks. He says happily.

"I hope the BB Brigade trio escaped." Rupert says. "...Despite their intentions, no one deserves to be trapped in a whale."

"Wait. You're worried about me? Reeeeeeally?" Lola says as she, Cole, and Lester walk up. "What a trip man. Maybe this means the rich kid, like, likes me."

"So. Made it out, did you?" Pauleen says before Rupert could say anything.

"Yeah." Lester says. "Some Robinson guy came along and rescued us."

"He was attracted to my style like a sailor to a siren!" Cole says.

He's weird. Typhoon thinks.

And the other two aren't? I ask.

...Never mind. You get my point though, right? Typhoon asks.

Yes. I say.

"Yeah, so I gotta, like, split this scene and go hose myself off." Lola says. "Soooo, here. You should have these." She walks over and hands me the Super Electrominites.

"Whaaaaa...?" Was all I could say.

"I...I don't understand." Pauleen says, also confused. "Why are you giving these back to us?"

"Like, we heard it was you that made the Bonehemoth horf us up, right?" Lola says. "Soooo, that means you saved our lives, which is weird, because you're, like, our mortal enemies. Anyway, it's bad juju to leave a debt like that unpaid. So we're all square now, riiiiight?"

"Are Cole and Lester okay with this?" Pauleen asks, looking at each one as she says their names.

"Hey, this is Lola's crazy plan. I just do what she tells me." Cole says.

"Gahar har!" Yeah. And the more she fails, the better I look!" Lester says.

"Soooo, this is, like, a one-time kind of thing, dig?" Lola says. "Next time we meet, I'm tooooootally going to flip your wig."

We don't wear wigs... I think.

"I'd love to stay and give you some style tips." Cole says. "...Goodness knows you need them. But, yeah. I'm outta here."

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY STYLE! I think.

"Watch your backs, losers!" Lester says before they leave.

Aww... He didn't say anything I could yell about... I think sadly.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but... They're not all that bad." Pauleen says.

"We can discuss the relative merits of our enemies later." Rupert says. "Right now, each of us should take a Super Electrominite to an island."

"Right." I say. I hand each one of them one, and we return them. We then go to Joe's suite, and tell him what happened.

"Yeeeee-haw!" Joe says happily when we were done. "Y'all done recovered the Super Electrominites from them BB varmints! Thanks to you, we've got power back in the entire park. That's some fine work, Dina and Pauleen. ...Oh, and you, too, Rupert."

"Pardon me, Joe, but...I have a favor to ask of you." Rupert says. "I...I would like to be allowed to join the Caliosteo Patrol Team."

"REALLY?!" I ask.

"I want to protect the Caliosteo Cup, no matter what." He says.

"You kiddin'?" Joe asks. "I oughta be on my hands 'n' knees beggin' ya to join!" He takes a step closer to Rupert. "Rupert, I hereby name ya as a full-fledged member of the Caliosteo Patrol Team!"

"...Thank you." Rupert says.

"Now listen up." Joe says. "We only got two rounds left in this here Cup. The BB Brigade's runnin' out of time, and there's nothin' more dangerous than a cornered rat! Y'all gotta be on yer guard, all right? Do whatever it takes to save the Cup for Fighters everywhere!"

We all nod, and leave.

"Are you sure this is a good idea, Rupert?" Pauleen asks. "Your father's going to be furious."

"Most likely." Rupert says. "But that's all right. I've decided it's time for me to show a little backbone. I'm going to tell my father what I think and let the chips fall where they may."

"...All right! If you can do it, then so can I!" Pauleen says. "Rember my promise, Dina? Well, I'm going to be brave and take off this mask for good! I'll probably blush like crazy and stammer when I talk to people, but... I think I'm okay with that now. For the rest of the Cup, people see my face! Here we go!" She tries to take her mask off, but can't.

"...Okay, that's weird." She says. "It won't come off." She tries again, but still can't take it off. "Oh my gosh! The mask won't come off! What do I do, what do I do, what do I doooooo?! I'm cursed! I'm gonna have this mask on for the rest off my life! Nooooooooooooooooooo!" She leaves.

"I don't understand." Rupert says. "Is that some kind of special mask?"

"Her mask has magical powers." I say. "You see, she's really shy, so that mask he has can give a person courage, or something like that."

"I see." Rupert says. "So the mask has magical powers, does it?"

"Yes." I say. "I'm worried about Pauleen."

"...Yes, I'm worried about Pauleen as well." Rupert says. "We should go after her."

We run the way she ran, and see an old man. He has almost gray skin, with red lines on his face, some type of skull on his head, and turquise hair. He's wearing these weird clothes, and is holding a staff.

"Pauleen!" He says. "Wait, digadig! Pauleeeeeeeeen!" He notices us, and turns toward us. "You are...friends of Pauleen, digadig?"

"Yes." Rupert says. "I'm Rupert, and that's Dina."

"Ah, yes." The man says. "It seems you are, diga. I...am the cheiftain of the Digadig people from Vivosaur Island. I am also...Pauleens grandfather, digadig. The...mask that Pauleen wears is enchanted with a spell of ill will, digadig. It gives the wearer...confidence and cheer, diga. But there is...a price. Once it takes hold, it it...impossible to remove. The mask...becomes the master, digadig."

"WHAT?!" Rupert and I ask.

"When I learned Pauleen...took the mask, I came right away." The Cheiftain says. "But, digadig, I came...too late. I cannot...pursue her, diga. I am too old and my...back is too sore. Please, digadig! You must help my dear Pauleen!"

"Don't worry." I say. "We'll find her."

"Time is short, Dina." Rupert says. "I'll search Mt. Krakanak if you take Rainbow Canyon. Agreed?"

"Agreed." I say.

I go to Rainbow Canyon and immediatly go to where Todd and I found the kidnapped girls. I find her where I battled Cole.

"Pauleen!" I yell as I run up to her.

"No, Dina!" She says, "Stay away from me! I...I have no control over my body! The mask makes me attack evryone I see! P-please... You have to...run... I c-can't...stop...myself..."

"No." I say.

Pauleen, well, her mask, sends in a Berta, which kinda looks like a Tricera type, Berto, and a Krypto.

I send in Anubis, Bert, and Tro. I have higher speed, so I go first.

"Bert, Thick jaws on Berto!" He does, doing 51 damage.

Paullen has her Berta use Berta Combo, doing 47 damage, making Anubis fall asleep.

"Bert, Thick Jaws on Berto!" He does, doing a critical 80 damage.

Pauleen has her Berta use Berta Combo on Bert, doing a critical 93 damage, making him fall asleep.

"Tro, split the AZ with Bert and use Lugmos Tail on Berta!" He does, doing 76 damage.

Pauleen has her Berta use Berta Combo on Tro, doing 58 damage, making him fall asleep. She also has her Krypto use Krypto Fang on Anubis, doing 6 damage.

"Bert, AZ by yourself and use Thick Jaws on Berto!" He does, doing 49 damage.

Pauleen has her Berta use Skewer on Tro, doing a critical 56 damage. She also has her Krypto use Krypto Fang on Tro, doing 8 damage.

"Bert, Thick jaws on Berto!" He does, doing 52 damage, defeating it. "Tro, Charge!" He does.

Pauleen has her Berta use Berta Fury on Anubis, doing 64 damage, and also confuses him. She also has her Krypto use Krypto Fang on Tro, doing 8 damage.

Although he's confused, Anubis doesn't do anything. "Tro, Lugmos Tail on Berta!" He does, doing 158 damage, defeating it.

Pauleen has her Krypto use Krypto Virus on Tro, But it misses.

"I'll pass."

Pauleen has her Krypto use Krypto Virus on Bert, infecting him.

"Anubis, AZ and use Krypto Combo on Krypto!" He does, doing 32 damage.

Pauleen has her Krypto use Krypto Combo on Tro, doing 13 damage.

"Anubis, Krypto Combo on Krypto!" He does, doing 29 damage.

Pauleen has her Krypto use Krypto Fang on Tro, doing 8 damage.

"Anubis, Krypto Fang on Krypto!" He does, doing 20 damage. "Tro, AZ and use Lugmos Sphere on Krypto!" He does, doing 99 damage, defeating it.

After I defeat it, Pauleen's mask falls off.

"...It's off!" She says happily. "The mask is off, digadig! I don't need you anymore, mask! I'm going to fight on my own and talk on my own from now on! Digadig! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dina! I'm so happy right now, diga!"

"No problem. And I'm glad you're happy." I say.

She runs over and grabs my hands. I blush because, well, she just randomly did that.

"...Heh." Rupert says after he runs up. "That's amusing. The mask is off, but the one who's red in the face is Dina."

"...Oh!" Pauleen says, reallizing that. She lets go of my hands and backs away.

"Pauleen! Are you...unharmed, diga?" The Cheiftain asks as he walks up.

"Look, Grandpa, look!" Pauleen says, happily. "The mask cam off! Diga diga digadig!"

He laughs. "This makes me...very happy, diga!"

Rupert and I walk over to the mask.

"Hard to believe this little mask caused so much trouble." Rupert says.

"I know." I say.

"This is a dangerous item." Rupert says. "It might be best for everyone if we destroyed it here and now."

"No, please!" Pauleen says. "Don't break the mask, digadig! This is all my fault, diga. I'm the one who took the mask without permission. And besides, if diga-DID help me for a while, so it's not totally evil. You should take it back to the village, Grandpa. ...Digadig?"

"If this is your wish, Pauleen, I will defer to you." Rupert says.

"So will I." I say.

Pauleen bends over and picks up the mask.

"You have changed, Pauleen." The Cheiftain says. "You are...talking to others, diga-despite having no mask."

"I know, digadig!" She says. "It's awesome! I owe this all to my friends, digadig. They taught me to trust my feelings, diga. They showed me I could just be myself."

"It does...my heart good to see you grow." The Cheiftain says. "You grow...before my very eyes, diga!"

I get promoted to Fighter Rank 8.

I get an FMS message that says: "This is an announcement concerning the Caliosteo Cup semifinals. Due to adjustments to the facilities, the semifinals have been postponed to tomorrow."

"Perhaps that's not an altogether bad thing." Rupert says. "We could all use some rest after the events of today."

"No kidding." I say.

"Tomorrow, diga..." Pauleen says.

We leave. and I go staright to the hotel and take a shower. When I get out, I see a note from Pauleen saying to meet her tonight. So, I dry off and get dressed and head out to where Pauleen said to meey her. There was a campfire. I saw Rupert standing there.

"Did Pauleen ask you here as well, Dina?" He asks.

"Yep." I say.

"I wonder what this is about?" He says.

"So do I." I say.

"Sorry I'm late, digadig!" Pauleen says as she runs up.

"That's all right." Rupert says. "We only just arrived ourselves. However, I'm curios as to why you asked us here in the middle of the night."

"...The semifinals are here, digadig." Pauleen says. "And that means only two people will advance. So no matter what, one of us is going to be leaving the Cup. I've been thinking about that, and it makes me sad. So I thought maybe we should talk, diga. That's why I called you out, digadig."

"...I, too, have been feeling some sadness about the upcoming end of the Cup." Rupert says.

"This has been so much fun, diga." Pauleen says. "I wish it could go on forever! Wouldn't it be great if the three of us just kept winning? What do you think, Dina?"

"I want the Cup to go on!" I say. "I don't want it to end."

"I knew you'd agree, Dina!" Pauleen says.

"...There's something I've never told you, Dina, but this seems like a good time." Rupert says. "It's omething I've been thinking about for a long time. Something that drives me to compete. It's even enough to make me forget the sadness I feel about the end of the Cup. I guess you could say it's a wish. A very special wish..."

Oh my gosh, I think he's about to say he likes me! I think happily.

I KNEW YOU LIKED HIM! Bert says.

"My wish is to face you in the final!" Rupert says.

Awww... I think.

"You're the one who reminded me of the joys of Fossil Battles, Dina." He says. "And that's why I want to face you in my final battle."

"W-wait a second, digadig!" Pauleen says. "I'm the one who's going to fight Dina in the final! It's because of Dina that I finally took off my mask! So I want to face Dina in the final with my true face, diga!" She and Rupert stare at each other.

"Um..." I say. Suddenly, they both start laughing.

"Heh heh." Rupert says. "I guess it's silly to argue about it. We don't even know the semifinal matchups yet."

"Hee hee!" Pauleen says. "Yeah, I guess I got a little carried away, digadig. But I feel better now, diga. It's like all my bad feelings just...blew away." We all start laughing.

"Very well." Rupert says. "From the semifinals and on to the final, let's all do the best we can."

"Yeah!" Pauleen says. "We'll make the Cup final one to rember!"

"Yeah!" I say as we all put our fists in the air.


A/N: Here's chapter 10! There are 8 questions for this chapter. SO SORRY there are so many. This is another easy chapter to come up with questions for.

1: I know I should have asked this WAAAAAy earlier, but, what did you think when you first saw the BB Brigade trio? I was like, "There's a rock band in this game?"

2:What did you do when you saw Lord Tonzilla? I was like, "Whaaaaaaaaaa...? 0_o"

3: What did you do when you found out you were about to be thrown up by a whale? I was like, "EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!"

4: What did you do when you saw the Digadig Cheiftain? I was like, "there's the guy from that place!"

5: So, for girls (boys don't have to answer this), what did you do when Rupert says he wanted to tell you something? I was like, "Rupert likes me! :D" Then I think I almost freaked out. ...Yeah I'm kinda a Rupert fangirl. :)

6: Don't you think the Cup was too short? I do.

7: Do you think it's kinda gross that you're probably covered in fish guts and stuff until after you defeat Pauleen's mask? I think it is.

8: What did you do when the BB Brigade gave the Super Electrominites back? I was like, "They're giving them back?!"

Well, I'll get the next chapter up ASAP. And, as always, please review!
