"Master, we have retrieved the stone as you have asked." Captain Evil Hare presented the stone to the shadowed figure, "EXCELLENT, DID YOU MANAGE TO GET THE VOICE TRACER ONTO THE SUEZO?" "Yes sir, all done according to your orders." "YES... BRING OUT THE RECEIVER, LETS SEE WHAT THEIR SCHEMING..." ...... "I can't believe we're doing this, I mean, it seems so stupid."-Suezo

"Well, how else are we going to get it?"-Tiger

"I dunno, but... why this?"Suezo again

"IT'S COMING, I KNOW IT,"

"Seuzo, did your back just talk?" Holly this time

"You heard it too? Weird..." Genki

"YOU BUMBLING FOOLS! YOU FORGOT TO SET IT TO TRANSMIT ONLY!"

"Hellooooooooo? May I ask who I'm speaking to?"

"NO"

"Why not?"

"BECAUSE... I DON'T HAVE A NAME..."

" nonsense, now, how bout telling me your name so I know who I am talking to."

"NO"

"everyone has a name."

"NO THEY DON'T, MY MOTHER NEVER GAVE ME ONE *sniff*"

" oh, I feel so sorry for you! Here... your new name is..."

"snugglebunny, chi!"

"Great choice Moochi! Your name is snugglebunny!"

"SNUGGLEWHATSIT?"

"snugglebunny ^^"

"I'M SORRY, YOUR BREAKING UP, *KKKKK*"

The figure crushed the transmitter and receiver,

"THAT'S ENOUGH OF THAT. WHAT ARE YOU ALL LAUGHING AT?"

"N-Nothing *haha* s-s-sir *snort* *hehehe*"

"GET OUT!!!!!!!"

"Going! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" The hares bounded out of the room tears of laughter in their eyes at seeing their master diminished to "snugglebunny" by the enemy, and at learning his mother never gave him a name, for one thing, as far as they knew, monsters didn't even have mothers....

"Well, that was odd" said Holly "I wonder who it was..." chided Genki, as he impatiently bounced up and down on the spot. "Well, whoever it was" Hare paused a moment to rub his ears "They have a very loud voice." "Well, now back to what we're going to do." said Suezo, for once getting straight to the point. "We don't know who we were talking to, for all we know, it could have been our new enemy." "If it was, I can see those Hares laughing in his face" said Tiger, "But I doubt that we'd be lucky enough to-" he was cut short from a muffled sound coming from Suezo's back yet again. "SO, GENERAL HARE, WHAT EXACTLY DID YOUR TROOP FIND SO FUNNY? IF I RECALL, YOU AND YOUR CREW ARE THE ONES WHO SCREWED UP, SO YOU SHOULDN'T BE LAUGHING." "But s-sir, we only did as we were to- AUGH!" there were cries of anguish over the transmitter followed closely by evil laughter. "Doubt it, eh, Tiger? Looks to me like you hit the nail right on the head." "How'd I do that? I don't have thumbs..." The rest of the group just sweatdropped. "WHAT!?"

***

"HMM, MAYBE KILLING OFF TEN OF MY MINIONS WASN'T SUCH A GREAT IDEA..." "Uh, s-sir?" a tiny momo peered into the room, he was the messenger, "There is someone here to see you" he glanced around the room looking at the black charred disks that were formerly evil hares, "He says he has a proposition for you." "SEND HIM IN THEN, I AM OPEN TO ANY SUGGESTIONS" he sighed as he thought the day was only going to go downhill. "Majesty," a voice interrupted his thought, he looked up to see a rock hound (Golem/Tiger) bowing elegantly low, "I have been in search of these rebels for quite some time, I would gladly join your forces to help you take them out." "I NEED NO HELP, WORMS! COME HERE AND TAKE CARE OF THIS ANNOYING MONSTER, HE'S PROBABLY POWERLESS" The rock hound merely laughed, "Your weeds? Your weeds attempted to block my path, I turned them all into lost disks. If I'm powerless, what were they?" he wore a smug expression on his face. "WHAT DID YOU SAY YOUR NAME WAS?" "Aya is my name Lord" "WHY DO YOU CALL ME SUCH HIGHER RANKS THAN I AM?" "Because I see you as the highest of them all." "HMM, FLATTERY WILL GET YOU EVERYWHERE AYA, REMEMBER THAT... GO EAST, THERE IS A PALACE FORMERLY OCCUPIED BY ONE OF MOO'S OLD GENERALS, TAKE THIS STONE WITH YOU AND A FLEET OF MONSTERS, A WAYS BEYOND GALI'S PALACE IS THE TOWER OF EARTH, INVADE IT AND STEAL THE EARTH ORB OF ILLUSEN" "Yes, Lord" and Aya bowed out of the room with the Momo slowly following behind.

Back still with Genki and co. they were all crowded around the small transmitter which had delightfully given up all of Eladere's plans. They finally found his name when he began talking to himself about how flawless the plan was, flawless, of course, except for the minor problem of a transmitter chip embedded in his hand, still transmitting dialogue to Genki and co. "Earth Tower? Earth orb of Illusen?" said Genki, "I've never heard of those, and I'm the monster champ!" "There are a lot of things you don't know Genki, but this one thing, it is believed to be a myth, remember, when we were at Gali's palace, did you see a huge tower looming over us covered with sand and vines?" "No...." "Exactly, it plain doesn't exist." "Still, if that's where Eladere is going, we have to be there to stop him." Hare piped up. "But how are we gonna do that?" Genki chided, still bouncing excitedly on the balls of his feet "will you settle down kid? When we find out what we're gonna do, we'll tell ya'." said Tiger rather bluntly. "I'm a part of this team too, y'know. Stop talking to me like its all up to you." "If it comes to that you'll be sure I won't fail." "Big talk from one whose fur used to be spotted pink." A vein was visible on tigers fore-head, Genki knew now was definately the time to back off. "Alright," Hare started, seeing the high tension lingering between the two, "I say we just head to Gali's palace, we can go from there." All of them agreeing with Hare they set off for the desert where they had defeated Gali, one of Moo's big bad four.

Aya padded forward through the harsh winds of the desert. The sand blowing into his eyes ever once and a while, blinding him, they had been making good progress as they reached Gali's palace, but as they enetered the boundaries, many of the monsters were pelted with small rocks and blown back by the gales force. "KEEP MOVING!" Aya shouted over the harsh winds, many of the lighter monsters had been literally blown away, he was glad he had taken a larger array of monsters, the weeds he had decided to turn down never would have made it this far, they were much better off left at the dark citadel.
Aya stepped under a looming shadow and brought his head up against the wind to see the tower his new master had spoken of. "The Tower of Illusen," Aya mused, "Home of the ancient Earth Orb of Illusen the earthen faerie, we'll see how much longer this tower remains its home," Aya smirked, and he ventured inside with what was left of his group after the violent winds and sandstorms.
