Summary: In this chapter we start with the Koopa Bros who are trying to make an escape from Jolene's office and steal the map they need so bad. Meanwhile Kooper, Bombette, and Parakarry have another run in with Spike(Not Lakilester), and after the match scheduling is back up and running, they go onto face their next team. And a special thanks to LordPain for helping me out with the Koopa Bros.

Chapter 11: Busting Out

Jolene was still inside her office, waiting for the repairman to arrive. She temporarily disabled match scheduling so she could make sure her vents are repaired, but really she just wanted to flirt with the Toad who she hired. While she began to work on some Glitz Pit stuff, The Koopa bros waited, and waited for her to exit the room. Red and Black sat behind the couch, trying to be as quiet as possible, while Green and Yellow were stuck in a cabinet together. Red peeked out from the side of the couch to see what was going on. Black whispered to Red "Hey dude, what's going on?"

Red explained "Well…I guess we're stuck in here for a while, dude!"

"Just great!" Black groaned as he crossed his arms.

"We gotta think of something fast dude! Any bright ideas….Oh wait! You don't even have any!"

"Say something like again, and I'll make sure I beat your ass right here, right now!"

"Dude, like you ever really mean……"

Jolene could hear Red's voice getting louder and she asked herself "Was I just hearing voices?" She then gave herself a ditzy explanation "Ah, I guess it's coming from the Major League Locker Room." She then turned around and started to bang on the wall yelling "HEY!!! KEEP IT DOWN IN THERE!!! I'M TRYING TO FINISH SOME WORK HERE!!!" In the Major League Locker Room, The Koopinator, Hamma Jamma, Shellshocker, and Rawk Hawk just stared awkwardly at the wall.

Red and Black watched as she banged on the wall yelling and this was giving Red some pretty clever ideas. He whispered to Black "Dude! I got it!"

"What do you have?"

"I just thought of the coolest idea ever! It's bound to work!"

"Tell me!"

Red watched as Jolene returned to her seat, and pulled Black back behind the couch. He explained "She needs a repair man right?"

"Yeah, what about it?"

"We somehow break outta here, disguise ourself as Toads, and while we distract her, we can get Yellow and Green outta here, fix her stupid vent, and steal the map! It's perfect dude!"

"That sounds like a pretty sweet plan dude…Hey wait!" Black though for a moment, until he realized the only flaw in Reds plan…actually breaking out.

"What!?" Red asked, quietly

"How the hell do we break out of here?"

"Good question dude!" They thought it over for a few minutes and started to brainstorm ideas to make their plan work. Red looked around for a few moments until he found another vent, the one leading to Spike's locker room. He then realized how high up it was, and that'd get them caught by Jolene.

Meanwhile Green and Yellow just waited in the cabinet they hid in. There was enough room for both of them, but space was tight. They couldn't see anything in there and they wondered when they could get out of there. Green whispered to Yellow "Dude, do you think Red and Black have figured a way out of this yet?"

Yellow replied, sounding a little freaked out from the darkness "Uhhhh…I don't know?"

"Well they better hurry! And dude…Get off my leg!"

"Sorry Green…It's so crammed in here!" He tried to reposition himself, but he only made it worse for himself, now in a really uncomfortable position. He whined "Oh man! This is so uncomfortable!"

"Well, it's better than you being on my leg!"

"Ohhhhhhh! Can't you try moving!"

"Oh my…Just try getting more comfortable! I don't wanna have to hear you constantly complain!"

"Fine dude!" Yellow then turned and leaned himself against the wall against him and tried to get more comfortable. It wasn't perfect, but it was better than before and he sighed "…At least this is somewhat more comfortable…"

"Good, now shut up for a minute, I wanna see if I can hear what's going on."

"Um…okay dude!" Yellow tried to stay as quiet as possible for Green. Green just sat around trying to listen to Jolene.

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

Kooper and his team were back in the locker room celebrating another well earned victory. But Bombette was still annoyed after being robbed by Bandy Andy, but she'd much rather celebrate than dwell on the battle. Bombette gave the exciting news to King K. as she approached him in the locker room "King K! Get this, we actually beat Bandy Andy's team!"

"Yeah, and lost 20 coins and 4 items in the process!" Parakarry threw in.

King K. asked "Dem' bandit's straight up ditched the fight?"

"No, only Bandy Andy got away, but at least he gave us all a couple laughs!" Bombette answered, as she turned to Kooper and snickered at him.

Kooper warned Bombette "Don't even go there Bombette!!!" Kooper has suffered enough humiliation and he didn't want to look back on it or hear about it ever again.

"Yeah, he a pretty crazy fella ain't he!" King K. said as he sat down on the bench. King K remembered that Bandy Andy and his team were ranked 13th, until Kooper, Bombette, and Parakarry defeated them. King K asked "Yo wait! You guys jus' beat mah homie B. Money right?"

Kooper replied "Yeah. We're now ranked 13th place!"

King K told them "Then you gonna be facin' me and mah homies soon!"

Kooper cheered "Cool! We'll finally get a real challenge!"

Parakarry reminded Kooper "Uhhh…What happened to The Darkshell Knights? They were more of a challenge than the other teams we've fought?"

"Oh yeah! But still…I'm looking for a team worth fighting!" Kooper said,

King K bragged "Den' you're gonna love mah team, bro!"

Kooper curiously asked King K "How good are you guys?"

"Like I already said! We're at da' top of the league! Don't that mean anything to ya!"

"I get your point! So, who wants to go in for another match!"

Parakarry replied "I'll go schedule one now!" Parakarry flew over to the interface and when he tried to schedule a match he received a message saying 'Match Scheduling has temporarily been disabled' Parakarry said to himself "Huh!?"

Bombette and Kooper asked as they walked over to him "What?"

Parakarry was surprised and confused at the same time. He asked "Yeah, since when does that ever happen!?"

King K. walked over and explained "Only happens every now an den'. It happens'. It'll probably go way' in an hour or so."

Kooper asked Parakarry and Bombette "So…Now what do we do?"

Bombette suggested "We could go find Spike, I still wanna ask him about some things!"

Kooper asked King K "Hey King K, Where do you think he'd be at this time of day?"

King K replied "I'm guessin' he'd be in is' room now."

"Thanks man! C'mon guys, let's go!"

"Okay!" Parakarry answered.

"Sure thing Kooper!" They walked out of the locker room and towards the left. They walked all the way to the Champ's Locker Room, being Spike's.

They walked up to the door, and Kooper knocked on the door. Kooper called out to Spike "Hello??? Anybody there?" He waited a bit, and tried knocking again.

Parakarry told Kooper "I don't think he's there right now Kooper!"

"Then where could he be!?" Kooper wondered.

"I dunno…Maybe in the lobby!" Bombette said.

"What makes you think that?"

"I can hear cheering for him, right in that direction."

"Well let's not waste time standing here! Let's go!"

Parakarry told them "You know, it could be from the arena."

Bombette reminded him "Um, what happened to 'match scheduling disabled'?"

"I see…" Parakarry sighed. They then walked back towards the locker room, and too the main lobby. When they reached the main lobby, the main lobby was filled with all sorts of crazed fans, reporters, and security guards. Just as Bombette thought Spike was surrounded by his many fans and reporters.

Bombette bragged "See! I told you boys!" She noticed a bunch of fans begging for autographs. Bombette asked "But, How are we supposed to get through all of this."

Kooper thought up a quick idea and he said "There's more than one way to get through a crowd. Quick Bombette, light your fuse!"

"Light my fuse!!?" Bombette shouted. "I could injure several innocent people!"

Parakarry asked "Yeah Kooper, that sound a little too extreme?"

Kooper pouted "Alright, alright! You're right!" He then paced back and forth for a few minutes and he said with enthusiasm "I got it!!!"

Bombette sarcastically asked "Ohh, let's see what brilliant idea you have now!"

Kooper reassured Bombette "Don't worry, It's good! Parakarry, pick us up and fly us in closer!"

Parakarry told Kooper "Um…Ok, but I'll have to do it 1 at a time."

"Works for me!" With that, Parakarry grabbed onto Kooper's arms and flapped his wings as hard as he could, cause Kooper was weighing him down.

As Parakarry got as close as the ceiling he told Kooper "Damn Kooper! Why are you so heavy!!!"

Kooper replied "It's not me, the weight is all in my shell." Parakarry quickly lowered Kooper in the middle of the crowd, and he went back for Bombette.

Kooper looked around until he saw Spike signing autographs at a table near the entrance to the arena. Spike saw him and called out to him "Yo Kooper!"

Kooper walked over, pushing his way through the crowd. He greeted him as he watched Parakarry lower himself and Bombette down "Hey Spike! What's up champ!"

Bombette called out "Hey there Spike, I've been looking for you!"

Parakarry lowered himself to the ground, huffing and puffing from carrying both Kooper and Bombette to the location. He called out to them as he limped over to them. Feeling exhausted he told Kooper and Bombette "Never…Ever again…Am I lifting you two!"

Kooper joked "Oh c'mon dude! You dragged Mario around the whole adventure, and you say you can't handle a Koopa Troopa or a Bob-Omb! Man you gotta start exercising!" Kooper chuckled to himself.

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

Back in Jolene's office, Red and Black continued brainstorming their escape. Red quietly whispered to Black "Dude, I got it!"

Black asked him as he stretched out his legs "What?"

"I create a distraction and while that bitch Jolene is distracted, we make a run for it, and escape!"

"What if it doesn't work, she seems like a very smart lady!"

Red stared blankly at Black and reminded him "Um…dude! She yells at the walls, she seems more like a total ditz!"

"Hey wait…I got it!"

"Is it a good idea, cause normally your ideas are worse than Yellow or Greens!"

Black explained as he shook his head "No, it's a good one dude! We just sneak on out while she's looking at her computer, and if she see's us, we use that new disappearing technique we learned!"

"You mean the veil?"

"Yeah…Whatever it was called!"

"Well at least it's nothing lame! C'mon dude! Let's do this thing!" Red ordered Black The two of them crawled across the room, as quick as the could.

When Jolene heard noises she asked herself "Hmm…Did I just hear…footsteps?" Red and Black instantly knew what to do, and like any other ninja, they folded their hands together, raising their index finger, and suddenly vanished from sight. Jolene looked around her office, noticing nothing and told herself "I guess it was just the wind or something!"

As she turned back to her computer, Red and Black chuckled to themselves. Red even said "Told ya she was a ditz, dude!" They then reappeared in the location they were, about near her desk, and the door wasn't far from their reach. They continued to crawl towards the door, until they reached the other side of the office, Jolene checked the office again for them they once again turned invincible, with perfect timing.

Jolene said to herself "Am I going crazy or something!? It's gotta be all in my head! There's no doubt about it." She went back to work and started clicking away at her keyboard.

While Jolene continued to work, Red and Black reappeared and made their way for the door. They made it just in time and opened the door without Jolene noticing. Red and Black cheered "YEAH!!!"

Red then started to remind Black about the rest of the plan "Ok, now that we're out, here's what's left."

Black asked "Do we get the map?"

"Yeah, but we now gotta get back in using our toad disguises, distract Jolene long enough for Green and Yellow to break out…" Red could hear foot steps approaching them and he huffed "Shh! Someone's coming!!!"

Red and Black snuck behind a huge crated in front of a ladder and watched. Black asked "Who's coming?"

Red watched as a Toad came into view carrying a tool box. He said "I think that's the repairman! Quick dude, I got a plan!"

"We knock him out!" Black said with enthusiasm.

"Yeah dude, knock him out!" Red ordered his bro with a troublesome smirk on his face. They waited and when the Toad reached them to grab the ladder, Red and Black suddenly popped out and nailed him in the face.

The Toad yelped "YOW!!! WHAT THE HELL!!!" He then received a punch to the chest from Black, knocking him on the ground.

Red told Black "Quick, grab his toolbox, get him behind these crates, and do the Toad transformation!" They quickly grabbed onto the Toad and dragged him behind the crates. They then did their mimic technique and in a poof of smoke Red and Black transformed into red and black Toads. They grabbed the ladder and tool box and Red asked "Alright, you know the drill dude!"

"We get in there, fix the vent, distract her, and get Green and Yellow outta there! It's all too easy dude!"

"Good! Now let's go!" They then proceded back into Jolene's office. Red asked Jolene who was glad they arrived and he asked "Hello, Ms. Jolene, what seems to be the problem?"

Jolene walked over to theme from her desk and she explained "Well, about an hour ago that vent broke open, and it broke off from the ceiling."

Red and Black looked up from the ceiling. Red noticed they had actually broke it from the ceiling and he said "Oh, yeah! It's certainly broken."

Jolene was still looking to flirt with the man she hired, and she was thinking it was Red, but the man she was looking for was outside her office, knocked out behind a few crates. She asked Red "Why don't you get your assistant to do the job! I've been dying to talk with you!"

Red thought this was the perfect distraction. Jolene wanted someone to talk to really and he replied "Um sure! Anything for you!" He smiled and winked at her to make her think he wanted her as much as the repairman he and Black knocked out. Red then ordered Black "Yo, fix the vent! I have to chat with Ms. Jolene here."

Black asked "Why the hell does it have to be me!"

"Cause!" Red then whispered in his year "Do this and we can get Green and Yellow outta here! I got a plan!"

"I'll think of a way! Just hurry up!" Black set the ladder below the broken vent, and pulled a few screws and a screw driver from the tool box. While he picked up the panel they crashed through, Red was starting a conversation with Jolene, trying to gain posession of the map.

Red asked Jolene "Hmm, nice map here! What's this a map of!?"

Jolene explained to Red "It's a map of Glitzville's basement. You see, we have a problem going on here with a mysterious floating skull haunting the corridors and scaring off my employees. They all said the same thing about a skull breathing embers at them, yelling at them to leave the area."

"Floating skull huh?"

Jolene nodded in response and answered "Uh huh! A big floating skull!"

"Sounds like trouble!" Red told Jolene.

Black was currently repairing the vent, but he purposely dropped the screwdriver, making sure it went close to the trophy case Green and Yellow were stuck in. He said, faking a frustrated tone "Damn it! Dropped my screwdriver! Can you get that for me dude!" He asked Red.

Red turned to him and said "Get it yourself dude!" Red winked at him as a signal to complete the first part of the plan.

"Whatever!" Black walked over to the trophy case, bend over to pick up his screwdriver, but while Red had Jolene distracted, he opened it up to find Green and Yellow still waiting, now half asleep. He whispered "Dudes, it's me! I'm busting you outta here!"

Green whispered back, looking at Red and Jolene "Dude, what's taking you so long!"

"I don't know…Just get the hell outta here dude, use that invisibility trick we learned if she looks over here.

"Alright dude! Just make sure Red gets the map!"

"He's already on it!" As Black grabbed the screwdriver, Green and Yellow crawled out of the cabinets they hid in, and crawled their way to the door. Black stood beside them to block Jolene's view of them. He signaled that they were making their way out to Red, which caused Red to stand in front of the desk, resting his arms on it.

Red told Jolene "So, tell me! What are you doing later tonight." Red was thinking to himself 'Hehehe! That fricken Toad repairman's gonna love this!'

Jolene replied "Not much, other than a few matches or two, I'm free."

"Good, Cause I wanted to know if you wanted to meet me at that hotel's restaurant they have."

"Sure! I'd love to!" Jolene jumped for joy when she heard this, but she didn't know it was Red so she'd have to waste her time trying to convince the real repairman what happened.

While he was talking to Jolene, Black had just finished fixing the vent and he shouted out to Jolene "Hey lady! Your vent's all good to go!"

Jolene looked up and noticed it was tight and secure and she thanked them "Well that's a splendid job! I must simply pay you guys!"

Black and Red smiled and said at the same time "It was nothing!" As Jolene had her back turned, Red grabbed onto the map, folded it up and put it into his pocket. Luckily there was a map of Glitzville's surface.

While she had her back turned, Green and Yellow were at the door, watching her. Green told Yellow "C'mon dude! Shake a leg!"

Yellow replied "I will dude! Just chill out." They walked out, but unfortunately Jolene approached Red and Black to pay them, noticing Green and Yellow leaving.

Jolene shouted "HEY!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING IN MY OFFICE!!!"

Green shouted "RUN DUDE!!!" They dashed out of the room, and down the hall.

Red apologized as he accepted his payment of 20 coins "Don't worry ma'am, we'll catch them in no time!"

"Yeah! Those punks are toast!" Black said it in a more serious sounding tone.

Jolene told them "Good! You better hurry though!" She then walked over to the telephone and went on the announcements "Security, be on the look out for a couple of Koopa Troopas. One had a green shell, and another had a yellow shell. And the interface match scheduling is back up and running."

Red and Black ran after Green and Yellow, noticing they ran into the bathrooms. They hid their Dark Koopa gear in the bathrooms, and they knew they were going to get back into disguise. Red and Black also turned back into their normal selves before they walked in. Red asked Green "Did I tell you guys you could leave at any time!"

Green snapped back as he threw off his bandana and replace his green shoes with purple shoes, "Dude! It wasn't our fault she turned towards you guys when we were leaving!"

Yellow restated what Green said "Yeah dude! It wasn't our fault!"

Red stared at both of them and after a few seconds he said "Whatever! Just everybody, get back into disguise and let's ditch this popsicle stand!"

Green asked "Wait, did you get the map dude!?"

"Uh huh! Check it out dude!" He unfolded the map, and showed it to them. They then gave each other a quick high five and cheered that they were getting ever 1 step closer to completing their mission.

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

Back in the lobby; Kooper, Bombette, and Parakarry heard the announcement about matches. While they were listening to that announcement, Spike was explaining to them about these orders Jolene gives them every match. He told them "Alright, you wanna know about special moves?"

Bombette told him "Yes, and please hurry, we wanna get our match scheduled before anyone else does."

"Okay, Well I'll make it quick! Just use the powers of the Star Spirits. Gonzales told me about your guys adventure before. Just use those powers, if the Crystal Star powers worked, then you should be fine!"

Bombette thanked him "Hey thanks!"

Kooper also thanked him "Thanks man!" He then noticed the same Koopa he's been seeing around Glitzville. He whispered to Parakarry "Dude, there she is…again!"

Parakarry looked at the pink shelled Koopa getting an autograph from Spike and he said "Just go talk to her Kooper!"

Kooper told Parakarry "Oh, alright!" He walked over to Spike's table and introduced himself to the Koopa, who was talking to Spike "Hey, I'm Kooper!" Kooper watched as she left the area when she was finished with Spike. Kooper sighed "Oh maaaan! Will she ever notice me…" He then asked Spike "Hey Spike, who was that Koopa."

Spike replied "Oh, her? I don't know! Some girl I guess!"

"Okay! Well, we'll see you around!" They hurried back to the locker room, but the crowd blocked their way. Kooper walked back over to Spike and asked "Hey, can you do us a favor."

"You wanna get through the crowd huh! I'll get you through!" He then whistled very loudly and shouted "HEY EVERYBODY!!! STEP ASIDE, WE GOT SOME HEROES TRYING TO GET THROUGH!!!" At that moment, everybody made a hole in the crowd so Kooper, Bombette, and Parakarry could get through. They waved goodbye as they left the lobby to get back to the locker room.

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

Back in the Locker Room; Kooper, Parakarry, and Bombette rushed into the locker room, with Kooper immediately running to the interface. King K was confused as well as everyone else. King K. asked "Yo, what's got you guys in a hurry?"

Kooper explained "We're scheduling a match as soon as possible!"

"Okay…You don't gotta be rushin' in homes!"

Kooper pressed the schedule a match button, and Jolene immediately popped up on the screen and gave them instructions about their next match "Sorry for the inconvenience, well let's see. Up next for you guys is…Ranked 12th in the Glitz Pit, Bob-Omb Squad. Now listen closely, I wanna see you win the match before taking at most, 10 damage. Okay? Good luck!"

The screen turned off, and Bombette started to chuckle to her self. Kooper and Parakarry asked "What's so funny?"

Bombette explained "You'll see, there's a trick about defeating Bob-Ombs and if you fight explosion with explosion…well you'll see!"

Kooper asked "See what?"

"I said, you'll see!!! I wasn't gonna tell you, you're gonna have to find out for yourself Kooper!"

"Oh…" Kooper groaned.

Within seconds the Security Escort arrived, opening the door and asking "Team Bombshell will you please follow me!" Kooper, Bombette, and Parakarry immediately left the locker room to head to the arena.

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

Another match was about to begin, and Jolene already had the crowd going. She announced in the center of the stage "And in this corner, the Dynamo Trio, Give it up for Team BOMBSHELL!!!"

The crowd cheered in excitement as Kooper, Bombette, and Parakarry walked up onto the stage "GO BOMBSHELL!!!!!!"

Kooper was still wondering what was gonna happen. He waved to the crowd to get their attention. Parakarry and Bombette did the same.

Jolene then continued "And in this corner, The Big Bomb Boomers…BOB-OMB SQUAD!!!"

4 Bob-Ombs walked up onto the stage and as the crowd cheered for them, their leader Master Crash called out to Kooper, Bombette, and Parakarry "Yo Bombshell! I got some advice for you! GIVE UP!!! BOMB! BOMB!"

Kooper called out "Yeah right!!!"

Bombette also threw in "Just you wait and see!"

Jolene continued to announce "Alright team, I want a nice clean match, and I want to see you win the match before taking at most, 10 damage…Alright…BRAWL!!!"

Team Bombshell vs. Bob-Omb Squad.

Bombette immediately told Kooper and Parakarry with a smirk in her face "Alright boys, watch and learn!"

Parakarry said "I'm watching!"

"And waiting…" Kooper threw in.

Bombette immediately lit her fuse, and strolled on over to the 4 Bob-Ombs. She then began to smoke and after a few seconds, she released a tremendous explosion, which caused the other Bob-Ombs to release another tremendous explosion, creating one massive fiery explosion.

As Bombette fell to the ground and back with Kooper and Parakarry, Jolene shouted "BOMBSHELL WINS!!!"

Kooper and Parakarry stood there gazing at the smoke left from the explosion. Kooper was shocked beyond belief and he said to Bombette sounding amazed "That…was…AWESOME!!!"

Parakarry asked "H-How does that happen?"

Bombette replied with a smile on her face "It's just something us Bob-Ombs do if there's an explosion around us!" She chuckled to herself. Jolene then escorted them back to the locker room. The team was excited about their next match, cause it only meant 1 thing…The Major League is not far away.

Well I'm so glad I could get this one up. Sorry if it took about a month, I've been having some serious writers block. Well next time Kooper, Bombette, and Parakarry go head to head with the KP Koopas, and turst me it's gonna be more exciting than some of the matches you've seen so far. We're one chapter away from the Major League, and the start of the 2nd half of the story, so keep an eye out for the next chapter: Koopa's In Da Crib!
