A pink-haired, twin-ponytailed woman hovered menacingly over the little children who tormented her with jokes about her overly applied makeup. During class hours, they tortured her soul relentlessly as she was forced to endure their incessant rambling.

"Oh, Madoi, you're so old!" one would cry.

"Yeah, she looks like my mom!" another would continue.

"Only infinitely uglier!" shouted the third and final nail in the coffin.

However, all this tension only built up to a dreaded moment when the tables finally turned and this "Madoi" would realize her dreams of revenge. Yes, the moment the bell rang, the children would have played gleefully, only the insane pink-haired woman took immense glee in avenging her dignity on the little rascals in this one latent moment in time known as…

"…RECESS!" Madoi screamed as she jumped over her desk with the athleticism of an Olympic athlete. "…and you know what THAT means!"

The children groaned as they reached into their pockets and brought out their pocket change and placed it in a small hat on Madoi's desk. With that done, she stepped into a corner of the room and unveiled the machine that would seal their doom as she shouted ominously:

"Place your bets and pick your songs…it's clobberin' time on Dance Dance Revolution!"

OPERATION 2: B.A.C.K.T.R.A.C.K.E.R. (Brutally Arrogant, Conceited Kindergarten Teacher Relentlessly Attacks Cute Kids' Egos at Recess)

"This is the place…" Dr. Royal murmured as his eyes glazed over the kindergarten school facility.

"The last place where anyone would expect to find violence," Lumine muttered as she stared at the gleeful rainbow-colorized exterior of the smallish building. "…and yet here we are."

"I'm scared," Chin grunted as he looked through a small window at all the pink bunnies and foam blocks scattered messily throughout the room. "…Extremely, utterly scared."

"I'M HAPPY!" squealed Cyber Man as he jumped around to display said happiness.

"Are you sure this data made him…smarter?" Royal asked as he raised an eyebrow. "He's pretty much as stupid as your old standard Navi."

"Eh, it's cool," Chin shrugged in his standard whatever-dude-we'll-live manner. "I'll make do with what I've got. How hard could it be to beat a conceited part-timer like Madoi?"

As if to answer his question, Madoi won her latest bout of DDR and emitted her standard "Naganaganaga!" laugh with a tone so shrill that the Royal Three were forced to cover their ears and cringe. Somewhere in the far distance, a window cracked.

"All right, that's it!" Lumine huffed. "I can't stand bullies!"

With that, she busted open the door to see a handful of kindergarteners sobbing as Madoi laughed heartily. The Royal Three approached her cautiously with their ears covered to avoid the shrieking pains of her laughs, even worse than nails scratching against a chalkboard.

"Naganaga…ah! Who might YOU be?" Madoi said quite cockily, directing a piercing gaze at her potential new victims.

"You're kidding, right?" Chin muttered disappointedly. "You're a criminal, and you don't know who the Royal Three are?"

"Err…" Royal whispered to Chin, "…with all due respect, we were formed only a week ago."

"Granted," Chin shrugged as Lumine got everyone back on the point: "Anyway, Madoi, why are you bullying these kids anyway?"

"Yeah, why are you hating on us?" screamed a young girl. "My sister Mary Towa's gonna beat you up on DDR!"

"…Aaaaannnnd there's the mission objective," Chin said in monotone while pointing at the hyperactive young lady. "So what's your name?"

"Helen Towa!" she replied cutely while kissing each member of the Royal Three (even Lumine, much to her wonderment…and humiliation) on both cheeks.

"So what do you say we get this over with and go home?" Chin shouted with determination, or just plain laziness and desire to go home. "Cyber Man, I have no idea what you can do, but let's hope we can do it."

"We is right!" squealed Madoi. "You! The Chinese nerd! Slap on these boots and prepare for a whooping!"

The scenery suddenly grew dark as Chin became engulfed in flames. Lumine and Royal looked at each other and backed away from him as he turned on Madoi and took revenge on her for calling him that one ill-fated term he hated the most…NERD.

(THIS SECTION CENSORED DUE TO GRAPHIC NATURE)

Getting rid of two random black rectangles that had suddenly appeared in front of their eyes, Lumine and Royal saw Chin standing atop Madoi and shouting: "Who else wants to say it?"

"Umm…Chin," Lumine murmured, "we're supposed to stop Madoi from bullying the kids, not become bullies ourselves…"

"Ah, sorry," Chin replied as he turned to the terrified kindergarteners and shouted, "What have we learned today, kids?"

"Never call people with glasses nerds!" replied the children in gleeful unison.

"Good children. Now then, about these boots…what do I do with them?"

"P-place them on your feet, sir!" Madoi replied hastily and understandably terrified. "From the moment you wear those boots, your feet will be synchronized with your Navi's."

"Then what's the point?" Royal countered, posing a surprisingly intelligent question for someone so inept. "Isn't that the same as just playing DDR against another human? So why should the Navis be involved!"

"You fool, in these ages of Net Battling and training one's Navi, there's no longer a point in teaching Navis to fight alone!" Madoi replied, posing a surprisingly intelligent response for one so stupid. "By teaching Net Navis to fight, we enhance their strength and power, but by teaching them to dance, we enhance their ability to learn!"

"Ooohhhh! Tell us more!" shouted the now-eager kindergarteners…and Chin.

"What are you doing?" Lumine cried. "You're on OUR side!"

"Oh right," murmured Chin sheepishly as he got back to the other members of his team. "Okay…guess I'm up first."

He slipped on the boots and plugged in Cyber Man, as Madoi did the same and logged in Color Man. The two Navis looked at each other…and laughed.

"Y-you're so cute!" Color Man squealed, laughing uber-stupidly.

"I-I'm so cute!" Cyber Man continued as he laughed kinda stupidly.

"Let's get serious!" Chin shouted. "I'm going for the best setting I know how to handle…Easy Difficulty!"

"What a coincidence!" Madoi cried. "That's my favorite setting too! As the challenger, I'll let you pick the song."

"I pick…er…so many…" Chin groaned. "Wait, here's a good one!"

"I pick…Ring Around the Rosey!" Chin shouted dramatically.

Everyone in the room stood with their mouths wide open as Madoi wondered, "How the heck did that song get in here?"

"As long as he wins…" Blind thought to herself, a sweatdrop manifesting on her forehead.

The song proceeded with a rapid flurry of drums, whistles, and weird harmonica rhythms, combined with off-key voices that would make an ordinary person cringe. Everyone present looked in awe at Madoi and Chin as they danced to the rhythm…and looked absolutely weird trying to do it.

"That is just the dumbest dancing I've ever seen…" mumbled one kindergatener.

"Now that I see another person doing it," another child murmured, "…Madoi's really, really stupid."

Royal and Lumine nodded their agreement, looking on stupefied as Chin and Madoi tried in vain to dance to the song, resulting in constant "Boo" noises. Finally, the insanity ended as the machine, utterly stupefied by how poorly both of them danced, ended the song prematurely and proclaimed, "Get off the stage, losers!"

"I…I don't understand…" Chin murmured. "Surely we must be better than this!"

"It's a tie!" Cyber Man squealed. "Everyone wins!"

"Eh, no," Madoi murmured. "The agreement was that I would stop bullying the kids until I was beaten, not tied."

"I thought Cyber Man was described as an Ultimate Power," Royal whispered to Lumine, who shrugged in response.

AFTER SCHOOL HOURS…

"Helen, how was your day?" Mary said gleefully as her sister kissed her on both cheeks.

"Guess it was okay," Helen shrugged. "This big guy came and said he would beat Madoi, but it ended up in a tie!"

"Oh?" Mary replied as she tilted her head quizzically. "Who might this big guy be?"

"Him!" Helen squealed gleefully as she pointed toward Chin, accompanied by Dr. Royal and Lumine.

"Hey wassup. My name's Chin."

"I'm Lumine!"

"I'm Dr. Royal, a crime lor…OW! Why'd you do that, Lumine?"

"Um, you're kidding, right? Criminal cardinal rule three says: Never give out our secret identities to civilians!"

Chin rolled his eyes and approached Mary, saying, "Anyway, it seems Madoi is a very strong opponent in DDR…so far, we can't think of a way to beat her yet."

"Oy," Mary said as she slapped her head. "Indeed, Madoi is quite powerful…but with that said, I can teach you DDR!"

"Um, if you can teach us, why didn't you challenge Madoi in the first place?" Blind asked with a tilt of her fox head as she asked the most logically succeeding question.

"I can't…" Ring responded for Mary. "My operator is always in class during the recess hour and that's the only time Madoi opens up the classroom for DDR challengers…if only her schedule were more convenient, we would clobber her."

"So I guess class is in session, then," Chin shrugged. "Later Royal and Lumine…I'm off to learn DDR."

Chin went off with Mary and Helen as Royal and Lumine stood rather stupefied.

"Umm…what just happened?" Lumine murmured.

"I think they're off to do their own thing," Royal replied obliviously as he stated the obvious. "So what should WE do?"

"It sounds like they've got everything covered, so let's go for a night on the town."

"Such a beautiful idea!" shouted Royal as he made a peace sign for whatever reason. "That's my daughter!"

Lumine grinned back…but sort of shuddered inside.

MEANWHILE, DEEP IN SPACE…

"A…a dance competition?" Duo muttered in a manner denoting WTF. "Who would have the insanity to think up something like that?"

"Duo?" Slur replied as she raised an eyebrow, "It's Madoi we're talking about here."

"Point taken, but still, the concept of that Dance Dance Revolution game baffles me."

"Come on now, that machine has its uses. Remember, we did use a DDR competition to destroy the unworthy Martians."

"Granted. I suppose it's all up to them now…although, is this really the nature of most tasks that the Royal Three undertake?"

"As a newbie mafia group, yes."

"Slur?" Duo asked uncertainly as he motioned his head slowly and uncertainly towards her, "…Earth is doomed, isn't it?"

Slur lowered her head and replied, "Without a doubt, there is a strong likelihood, but that remains to be seen. Chin may be as relatively inept as Royal, although the girl Lumine does show an overwhelming amount of promise. However, Chin's receiving training from Mary Towa."

"Mary? The Intercontinental DDR Champion? Surely she should be able to teach him something…although I question Cyber Man's ability to learn…"

"Like I said, everything remains to be seen. In the meantime…would you like to play some DDR?"

"…I thought you'd never ask," Duo replied with a grin as wide as the curve of the Earth.

And so, as Duo and Slur played DDR, Chin trained with DDR champion Mary Towa and younger sister Helen, and Lumine and Dr. Royal went off to do who knows what. The very props to set the stage for a desperate conflict between good and evil had been placed in motion…and now it was only a matter of time.
