Note: this fic is based on actuall acouts and pets, but not all names are the same as they are on the site.

I walked through the crowded marked, people where everywhere. Tall people, skinny people, fat people, and each of them had a Neopet. So maybe you don't know what Neopets are. Would you like me to explain, I am sure that you would. Neopets are creatures, some small, some large. Each Neopet has it's own strength and weakness, each pet has it's own power. Behind me ran Bintlekidd, Bintlekidd the blue Acara. An Acara, if you don't know, is like a cat. Acara have horns that lay down behind their ears, or sort of on top. The rest of the Acara's body is like a cat, though their head is much larger than a cats would be, and their body is a little more plump than a cat's.

As I was saying, me and my Neopet walked through the market place. The Market place was a large group of shops, each shop seamed to be centered around the Money Tree. The Money Tree is a tree with a face, if you can believe that, and people even leave stuff at the Money Tree! You can get stuff there for free, but that wasn't why I was at the market. I was looking for a good new weapon for my Acara. I traveled right passed the Money Tree, only giving it a glance. But I still may not have explained my self. I was at the Market to get a weapon, that much you know, but you may not know that there was to be a huge Battledome Tournament the next day. I needed a good weapon for Bintlekidd, a really powerful weapon.

Wait, I'm so telling this story out of order, I am Lance. You may have seen me around, but if you haven't, I'll tell you what I look like. I have dark hair, dark brown hair, but I am short. Not too short, just short enough. I'm not very built up, just sort of here.

Anyway, me and Bintlekidd where looking for a good weapon. Bintlekidd has a lot of fight items already, but I wanted a finisher, a good item for my pet. Bintlekidd walked beside me, jumping at my heels. I walked up to the owner of the newly installed Weapons Shop. The owner, a fuzz ball with feet and eyes called a JubJub, spoke a welcome to me.

"So," the little JubJub said in a high squeaky voice, "what do you wanna buy?" I looked around for a few moments and the inventory, then selected a small charm. The charm would become larger when the Neopets chose to use them. The charm was cool to the touch, and very, very shinny. The item I was looking for, the only item I would need, but I would use up all my Neopoints. Neopoints are the form of currency in Neopia, you can buy stuff with Neopets, play games, and even start your own shop with Neopoins.

"Yes, this one will do just fine," I faked a smile and let out a nervous laugh. Now came the part I liked the least; haggling. I though of how low I should offer. I had 10,000 Neopoints with me, and the item was just over, at 10,090. I knew that most shop owner wouldn't go down 90 Neopoints, but this shop owner was new, so I though I would try it. "How about I take this off your hands, I'll give you and even 10,000?"

The little JubJub looked a bit worried, then said "that sounds like an okay price, but it is worth more." I knew I had to close the deal soon, so I quickly countered.

"Ya know, I could get this same item for half this price from a dude I know, so if you won't go lower, I'll just leave." This really made the little Jub worried, his eyes grew large and beads of sweat dropped from his face. "Now, do you want me to buy this, or not?" The JubJub was about to go in his pants, or he would have, if he was wearing pants!

"I-I-I'll g-gi-g-gi-give it to you for abou-abo-abou-a-a-a-about ha-ha-hal-half," he stuttered, he really, really worried, "5,000 o-o-o-kay?"

"I guess so," that finished the deal. I got what I wanted, but oh wait! You don't know what it was that I got, now do you? I was purchasing a new item, the Bomb Jug, you don't know what it is, because I got the only one. The Bomb Jug is a glass flask, when it isn't being used it seamed to be filled with a yellow-orange liquid, but when the cork on the top is removed, a huge explosion is released. Well, anywise, I headed over to the Neolodge, the Neolodge was a huge hotel, it was white and very luxurious. The door was bright red, adorned with a golden knocker, and surrounded by large white pillars. Bintlekidd jumped onto my shoulders, we were both really exited about staying here for free! I once again knocked on the door, this time manually, and sure enough, a cute little Blumaroo in a bellhop outfit answered the door. A Blumaroo is a little kangaroo looking Neopet. This Blumaroo was red, and the pink hearts on it's feet were pale pink. It's snout and ears drooped and it hopped around on it's tail as it carried around luggage and opened the door. I stepped inside, the walls where covered with red velvet, and there was a large red rug that led into the main room. Me and BK (Bintlekidd, I call him that for short) moved into the sitting room. The sitting room was much dimmer than the other rooms in the lodge, and each of the chairs were covered in a fine red material, but neither of us could tell what type. The walls were more plain in this room, and blue, (which didn't exactly go with the rest of the place) and there were no large draperies like in the other rooms of the hotel. All my competition would be here in this room. I noticed, first of all, a large man in a large trench coat. Beside him was his Neopet, a RoboKacheek. ROBOKACHEEK? I though only that Sloth dude had those! Wasn't he killed?

Oh, you don't know what a ROBOKACHEEK is if you don't know what a Neopet is now do you? First, a Kacheek is a little cat looking thing too, like and Acara, but Kacheek stand up. Kacheek have long tails, with little tuffs of white on the end. Their eyes are normally bright and bouncy, but this Robot's eyes where not close, and the normal little triangle nose was more of a void or a square. The normal little nubs of hands and arms the Kacheek have where there, and even the large, three toed feet, but the color was of silver and not red or green or some other color. The Kacheeky ears flopped down, the triangular flaps of skin hung down and, even though it was metal, it was sort of cute.

Now, the odd man and his Robokacheek sat in the corner, ignoring everyone. I saw some others, but nowhere did I see Drew, my blond headed, computer freaked friend. Drew had an Aisha, but I won't tell you about it yet, because I had never seen it at that time. Me and Bintlekidd moved into our room, number 66....5, yes! The room was amassing, there were two huge beds, one for BK, and one for me. We prepared for bed, wired for the next day in the fights.

We awoke early, by the light of the sun, suited up and ran downstairs. The day was cool and crisp, but the sun was bright and high in the sky. Of course, I wore my "I Love Acara" T-shirt and a pair of denim jeans, and BK carried the chains of all the weapons he carried. One chain held a charm of a cannon, yellow in color with wooden wheels, and another chain held a bottle-shaped charm, clear except for a translucent yellow-orange area that seemed to feel the charm flask.

There were many others at the Battledome, but I noticed that guy in the I had seen the night before. I RoboKacheek walked beside him, and stared up at it's master. I looked around for Drew and Yoggie his Green Aisha. I looked around, BK had ran into the crowd to find them also, so I was basically alone. Then, from behind a heard a noise, I turned quickly and saw Drew behind me. As I had said before, Drew was a blonde haired computer freak (and I mean that in the best way possible), Drew was about as tall as me, and wearing his "Aisha's Rule" T-shirt. We looked oddly alike, wearing a similar outfit, but I won't get into that. I finally saw Yoggie the green Aisha. Yoggie, like all Aisha had an oval shaped head with squinted eyes and pointing ears, the other pair of ears are on long stems that come from the top of their heads. The Aisha's body was like a chubby cat (notice a lot of pets look like cats) the feet have no toes and, as all Aisha, it wore a red collar that had an "A" pendant. The tail was pointy and the back legs curved down when the Aisha was sitting.

"So," I said to Drew happy and smiling, "are you ready for you match, you have one of the first matches."

"Of course, what, do you think I wouldn't," Drew said, with an angered look in his eye, "I've been working with Yoggie for days!" I could tell that he wasn't in the best mood about being first. We entered the huge stadium. It looked oddly enough like a normal stadium, there were thousands of seats. In the middle of the stadium was a huge white square arena, there was a raised platform, at least ten feet above the ground, for the Pet's owner at both ends of the battlefield and a larger platform on the left side for the judge. Me and Drew entered the waiting area for the Pets and their owners who were fighting.

"THE FIRST MATCH," blared the announcer suddenly, "WILL BE BETWEEN DREW JEEPER AND A MR. THOLS." Drew walked over to the platform after his name was called, Yoggie ran after. Drew began the climb up the stairs to his platform, as Yoggie jumped up onto the arena. Thols also stepped up to his platform, and when the his pet enter it was.....the RoboKacheek! I was shocked, but I had a feeling that Yoggie could win.

"NOW," the announcer began again, "BEGIN THE MATCH!"

The match started with a bang, as the RoboKacheek attacked with a huge electric spark. The robot opened a patch on the center of its chest and let out a big blast of white electricity. Yoggie had no chance or time to dodge, it was hit so quickly not even Drew saw it coming. The robotic Kacheek zoomed over to the green Aisha and knocked it up into the air, the robot quickly jumped up high into the air and knocked the dazed Aisha down towards the ground. Yoggie hit hard and bounced a few times. Drew screamed in horror, then tried a quick command, but the horrible shrieks of the Aisha distorted his voice into a jumbled yell. I watched as the Aisha was being brutally attacked. The RoboKacheek didn't stop the attack, even though we could all tell that Yoggie would most likely die. Suddenly, before we knew what was happening, the robot stopped. Yoggie lay on the ground, barely breathing, but the Kacheek was fine. The ground started to shake, and slowly a large mass moved up out of the center of the battlefield. A spike shot out of the ground, then a head. It was a lizard-like head, gray-green in color with an eye that was located almost level to the mouth. The head, which is hard to describe, raised higher and higher into the air. You could see the horrible dinosaur like body, the back was covered in spikes and the legs where large. It had small front arms, and a large and powerful body. The mouth was full of teeth, large teeth, and the creature showed all of them as it let out a huge roar. The Monoceraptor! One of the most powerful and destructive creatures in Neopia. Everyone ran away from the terrible creature, everyone but Drew and I. Drew was beside Yoggie, I couldn't leave his pet. The Monocerapter moved over towards them, and stared Drew right in the eye. I was quickly at work, BK activated his Bomb Jug and threw it at the beast. The jug exploded around the Monoceraptor, but had no effect. Drew had since then froze and Yoggie had stopped moving. I wondered if they were both dead, but Monoceraptor moved toward me quickly, and I turned to run. I knew it wouldn't stop, so I knew I couldn't either.
