Neopets: A New Beginning

Chapter 4, Preperations

"Raiden," Amanda started. "You better get prepared. Go the the Game Center, play the Kiko Match three times, you should get plenty of neopoints."

"Sure thing! Seeya later." Raiden and Sundry exitted the house and started for the Game Center. Sundry questioned Raiden along the way,

"Raiden, what's a Faerie?"

"Well ok let me explain, there are 6 Spell Faeries and 6 Uber-Faeries and 8 other Faeries that are around Neopia. Now the 12 Major Faeries are the ones that'll make you stronger. The 6 Spell Faeries are the Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Light and Dark Faeries, you already met her."

"Yep!"

"Anyway, The Uber-Faeries give you quests to go on. A quest is a journey to find a certain item, then once you've found it you bring it to the Faerie and she'll bless you."

"Oooooooh... so the Dark Faerie, is going to fight poor little me? I'm only 5 days old!"

"I'm sure you'll do fine, we are going to go get money so you we can buy Battle and Defense Magic."

"What's that?"

Raiden stopped and sat down at a nearby bench. Sundry hopped off his shoulder. "Battle and Defense Magic are items that you use against your opponent in the Battle Dome."

"There's another thing, What's the Battle Dome?" Sundry asked.

Raiden stood up, he picked Sundry up and started walking again. "The Battle Dome is a place to go when someone challenges you to a fight. Like the Dark Faerie, when we are done with shopping we're gonna rest, maybe take a visit to the Healing Springs and head for the Battle Dome to beat the Dark Faerie."

"Ooooh." After a while they finally go there. Raiden got, 530 Np for his first try, a 480 on his second, and a 450 on his third. He got 1440 NP for his first visit.

"Alright, now let's go shopping." Raiden said.

"Yay! Come and get me Dark Faerie!" Sundry started jumping up and down and almost fell off Raiden's shoulder.

"Whoa! Careful now." Raiden said.

"Ok." Sundry replied.

"Oh and one more thing,"

"Yes?"

"Could you switch shoulders?"

"Hm-hm, yeah!" Sundry relpied.

After a few minutes they reached Bazaar and went for the Battle Magic Shop. When they got there they went in, after a few minutes of deciding, the picked, a Fire Mask, and a Super-Size. They paid for their stuff and went to the Defense Magic Shop. They bought, Gelert Full Armor, and Gelert Tail Armor.

"Alright, are we all set?" Raiden asked as they exited the Defense Magic Shop.

"Aren't we gonna go to the Healing Springs?" Sundry reminded.

"Oh yeah, almost forgot. Were gonna have to take the elevator, let's go!" They hurried off to the Travel Station.

When they got there it was packed, but they managed to get on the elevator. It took along time to get there. After they were off the elevator, they went to the Healing Springs.

The Healing Springs had fountains of soothing water everywhere. And in the center, was the Water Faerie. Raiden stepped up to the Faerie.

"Would you please make my pet's Health greater?" Raiden asked the Faerie.

"As you wish...." The Water Faerie gathered some of the water that surronded her and splashed it over Sundry. He felt warm and not as hungry.

"There, your pet has gained 7 Health, and is not hungry anymore."

"Thank you," Raiden and Sundry left the Healing Springs and back to the elevator.

Abot an hour later they were at the Battle Dome, they entered and looked for the One player Challenge section. Raiden stepped up to the counter,

"Hello and welcome to the Neopets Battle Dome," A red Kacheek greeted. "please give me your name."

"Raiden." he replied.

"Thank-you..... You currently have one Challenge, It's the Dark Faerie... Ho-ho are you in for something, I've seen Neopets battle her, they got there socks blown off, becareful!"

"He-he thanks" He said sarcastically.

Suddenly Raiden was enveloped in an orb of, well blue. He started to sink into the ground, Sundry started jumping up and down.

"Wowee! This is fun!" Raiden, on the other hand, "hey what's goin' on!"

They landed on the ground, the orb disappeard. They were in the Battle Dome, and sure enough on the other side, was the Dark Faerie,

"Come on let's get it on!" she shouted.
