Part Three:

Last time, we left Chibi and Luna on the ferry home. Now, Chibi must face a battle in the Battledome. Can he survive?

EmeraldMount, a green Kougra, turned to his sister, Lilbasketballbabe, "Boy, I'm tired. We've had a long day."

"Yeah," Lil replied, "My feet hurt."

"We'll be home soon," Spritzieblue told Lil, "You can see it from here."

"You can? I want to see. I'm going to go closer to the edge," Lil said excitedly as she ran to the side of the ferry.

"Watch out!" Koorite called to her.

She turned around to look at him, and ended up running into someone. Not knowing what to do, Lil slowly backed up. When she was a safe distance away, she ran behind Spritzie. Lil always looked to Spritzie, a blue Shoyru, for protection.

Chibi felt someone bump into him. He turned around and saw a small, red Jubjub staring up at him in embarrassment from behind a blue Shoyru. Behind them, a green Kougra, and a blue Lupe were looking at them. "Watch where you're going!" he said to the Jubjub.

"She didn't mean it," Luna said. "Hi, my name is Lunamercurie. Luna for short." she introduced herself to the Jubjub and the Shoyru. "Ignore my brother ChibiMartian, he's all talk."

Koorite, the blue Lupe, stepped forward and looked Luna over skeptically. Luna began to get nervous, as the Lupe looked her over, searching her for deception.

"Honest, it's ok," she said. "My name is Luna, and that's my brother Chibi." she pointed to her brother.

Chibi walked forward. "Don't look at my sister like that," he said defensively to the Lupe. "We both go to the Training School, you know."

"So what? That doesn't make you any better than us," Koorite snapped.

"Wanna bet?" Chibi growled, nearing the Lupe.

"Chibi, don't do anything stupid!" Luna warned.

Emerald jumped between them, "Come on you guys. It doesn't have to come to this."

Luna walked up and stood beside Emerald. "Thank you," She said brightly. She looked to the others. "You are all acting like a bunch of spoiled children. This is getting us nowhere!"

Koorite looked at Chibi and muttered, "You wouldn't stand a chance against any of us..."

"Right..." Chibi said sarcastically. "Let's see about that. Who wants to fight me in the Battledome?"

Koorite turned his head, "Spritzie?"

She shrugged, "Sure, why not."

Chibi looked at the blue Shoyru. "So you're Spritzie?" he asked. "Works for me. My name is ChibiMartian, Chibi for short. So you know your defeater. How about as soon as we dock we go to the Battledome?"

"Of course, Chibi. For your sake, I hope you're as good as you think you are," Spritzie replied casually.

"Very well then. Just give me an hour to go home long enough to get my equipment, and I'll meet you there," Chibi said. Luna looked at her brother, exasperated.

An hour later, they were all at the Battledome waiting for the fight. Chibi stood in front of Spritzie, awaiting her attack, equipment at the ready. Luna sat with the others, watching anxiously. Spritzie threw a poison snowball at Chibi. Chibi got hit by the snowball, losing some strength. He put on his Silver Arm Plate, and attacked with an Electric Buzz.

Luna walked up beside the green Kougra. "I'm sorry he's acting like this," She said, "Anyways, what is your name? Are these others your siblings?" she asked.

"I'm EmeraldMount. And Spritzie is my older sister. The Jubjub is my big sister, Lilbasketballbabe, but we call her Lil. And the Lupe is my brother, Koorite," Emerald replied.

"I see," Luna said, glancing at the others around them, and shooting a nervous glance at Chibi. "Chibi and I also have a younger sister, Sunskyes. She's a yellow Ixi. And we have a younger brother, Gryffinstormie. We call him Gryffin for short. He's a green Eyrie." She watched as Chibi kept shooting buzz attacks at Spritzie.

Spritzie equipped herself with the fire gem and was able to protect herself from Chibi's fire attacks. Chibi ran up to Spritzie and kicked her with his Uni Kick. He then shot her with the Rainbow Gun. Spritzie used her water ring and aimed it at Chibi. Chibi got blasted with water from the water ring. He was now too weak to fight. The Silver Arm Plate didn't help him, as he was caught off guard and didn't have it up. He stood up weakly. "Good fight..." he said, forcing the words out. "We should hang out sometime." He walked up to the Jubjub and the others. "I'm sorry about the way I acted. My name is ChibiMartian. Everybody calls me Chibi. And this is my sister Luna, the blue Kougra. What are your names?"

Chibi dug through his sack and pulled out a healing potion. He quickly drank it, restoring him to full health.

"I'm Spritzieblue. This is my sister, Lilbasketballbabe, or Lil. Then this is my brother, Koorite. And…"

"And I'm EmeraldMount," He looked at Luna and smiled, "But you can call me Emerald."

Luna smiled back. "Nice to meet all of you." she said. "Where do you all live? We live in Neopia Central."

"So do we!" Emerald said excitedly. "What street?"

"Winding Wood Drive," answered Luna.

"Neopia Avenue here," said Emerald.

"Maybe we can hang out sometime, then," Luna answered happily.

Chibi interrupted, "But Luna and I need to get home now. We should have been home an hour ago."

"We'd better be heading home too, "Spritzie replied, "We'll walk you home."

"Ok," Chibi said.

They walked the approximately thirty minute walk to their Neohomes. "See you later." Chibi said as Spritzie, Lil, Koorite, and Emerald entered their home.

"Bye everyone," Luna said. "Bye Emerald." and with that, they went home.

Chibi and Luna went home, happy to have met new friends. But when they arrive home, they find tragedy has struck. What else will go wrong?
