Note: I will not be writing descriptions on how the fights go. I'm gonna let you guys imagine that for yourselves.

Stage: Hot Springs

Celena now finds herself by a hot springs resort after running from the Lower Quarter for a while.

Celena: "...I know Alexei told me to leave and all, but I still feel kinda bad about it. Still... I did get something about if that challenge... Masters info said that some people are from either the past or the future, which means if I run into any other impossibilities than that's the most likely answer for it. Phew... Why is it so feel so hot right now? And... is this fog? No, wait, it feels more like steam. Did I stumble onto a hot spring?"

System: "Ding ding ding! That's a bingo!"

Celena: "Wow. You're back. Amazing. Not done tormenting me yet?"

System: "Why, I have no idea what you're talking about! Anyway, you just lucked your way into a really nice place! This is the checkpoint of comfort and relaxation. Think of it as a bonus stage."

Celena: "Oh really? And what's so special about it?"

System: "You just said it yourself! Hot springs! This area is home to a very fancy hot springs resort. That's where the checkpoints located! Kick off those boots and unwind a little while you're there! There's an outdoor bath, and even some mixed-gender bathing. Eh? Ehhhh?"

Celena: "As if I'm into that stuff! But, I guess I can't complain about the bath... I guess I could use some time off. I'll just get my stamp and take a well-deserved break. Might as well head to the goal refreshed."

???: "I understand the feeling completely. Which is why I'm glad you're here."

Celena: "Huh? Who's there?" By the resort front door is Ryu yet again.

Ryu: "Ah, my apologies. I didn't mean to alarm you. My name is Ryu."

Celena: "Ryu, huh? Well, I'm Celena Verde. Pleased to meet you."

Ryu: "Likewise."

Celena: "So, why were you waiting for me?"

Ryu: "I was told the challenge requires a partner when I got here, so I took this chance to rest myself while I waited for someone to come."

Celena: "I see. I wonder what kinda challenge this will be?"

Ryu: "Well now that you're here, we can go in and find out." They head inside and two people are inside, one at the receptionist desk, the other looking through the souvenirs. At the receptionist desk is a dark skinned man in a white gi similar to Ryu, but his was made without sleeves rather than them being torn off. He also has some straps that hold his weapon of dual fans made from multiple elemental Dust. Identified as Paris Yogen.

Paris: "Ah, finally we have some challengers."

Celena: "Paris? What are you doing here?"

Paris: "Hm? I'm sorry, but am I supposed to know you?"

Celena: "Well..." 'I probably shouldn't say anything if he's from the past.' "No, actually, I've just heard of you through your legend as a Huntsmen."

Paris: "So your from my world then?"

Celena: "Yeah... I'm Celena and this is Ryu. We're here for the checkpoint challenge."

???: "Is that so? Well then here's how it works." Says the one at the souvenir shop. It's an woman in a green suit and green pants and a black under vest and cravat around her neck. She's got white hair and her weapon is a cane that uses fire, lightning, ice and earth dust. Identified as Jade Quartz. Previous Headmaster of Shade Academy.

Celena: *gasp*

Jade: "This challenge is something of a two parter. Mr. Yogen and myself are the gatekeepers here. Part one is a tag battle between you, the contestants, and us, the gatekeepers. Winner decides the part two challenge."

Ryu: "What do you mean by that?"

Paris: "The part two challenge will be a competition between us in one of the resorts games but since there are so many good ones, the tag battle to to help decide who will pick."

Ryu: "Doesn't that seem like too much over a game?"

Paris: "Don't look at us. It wasn't our decision. It was the Voice."

Celena: *sigh*"Of course It was..."

Jade: "Anyway, if we're going to fight, then we better take it outside. It'd be a shame to ruin the beautiful architecture of this place."

Ryu: "It is rather beautiful, isn't it?"

Celena: "At this point, I hardly have the will to object anymore. Let's just get this done quick."

Celena and Ryu vs Paris and Jade

Theme= .hack/G.U.: Chain of Fate

Jade: "Phew... You're tougher than you look..."

Celena: "Th-Thanks..."'This really hard to get over!'

Ryu: "I still think this is a bit much just to chose a resort game."

Paris: "Regardless, you won fair and square. Now for part two. Chose your challenge." They all head back inside and to the game room. There are quite a few options but one catches all of their attention.

Celena: "How about a game of ping pong?"

Ryu: "Ping pong, huh? I believe my friend Ken likes that game. This okay with you two?"

Paris: "Like we said: you won so it's your choice."

Jade: "And if you win this game then you get your stamps."

Celena: "Finally, my last stamp."

Ryu: "Oh? You have four stamps too?"

Celena: "Yeah I do. Guess this means we can both head for the goal this."

Ryu: "That is, if we win first."

Celena: "Right. Let's do this."

System: "Alright! Ping pong it is! First one to 100 points wins!"

Ryu: "Huh? 100 points?"

Celena: "I kinda figured it'd be something like that. Whatever. I don't really care anymore, I just want that stamp."

Ryu: "Very well then. Let's play."

Paris: "Best of luck to you."

Jade: "Just don't get too cocky." It all felt like matter of hours and our competitors go back and forth, racking up point after point after point until we finally reach a tie of 999 points.

All 4: *pant pant pant*

Jade: "And with that... we're tied again..."

Paris: "Gotta admit... you guys... are pretty skilled..."

Ryu: "I could say the same... about you two..."

Celena: "Too think... I'd face off against... two strong Hunters... in a ping pong..."

Jade: "Yes. But this is the final serve. Which means this is your last chance to earn your stamp."

Paris: "Indeed. It's your serve. Make it count!" Ryu deals out the final serve, and the game took several minute with everyone going quicker than ever. Until...

Celena: "This is it!"

Jade: "Just try it!"

Celena: "Hyaah!" She smacked the so hard and it went so fast. Jade took one final swing just barely missed as the ball wisps passed her and hits the floor.

System: "Aaaaand that's game point! Celena and Ryu win! Congratulations! Here are your stamps!" Finally, the final stamp.

Paris: "Very impressive... perhaps I underestimated your ability to deliver."

Jade: "You should underestimate anyone, Paris. Not even in games."

Celena: "Phew... I'm definitely ready for a bath after that ordeal..."

Ryu: "I couldn't agree more. Would it be alright if we used the bath?"

Paris: "We're only here to give the challenge. The usage of the bath is out of our hands."

Jade: "So go right ahead. You deserve it."

Celena: "Finally. Once we're done here, we can head for the goal."'Don't worry Dad. I'm almost home...'
