"Crafts? If it means techniques I haven't seen then sure, let's call it that." He said as the switch turn off.
"Understood." Altina nodded before turning to Alf. "I'll be looking forward to be working with you."
"Likewise!" Alf said as he and Alitina left the Major League and go into the Ring.
"Ooh... I hope they're okay..." Levi trailed off.
"Yeah... But I'm sure Altina can look out for him." Rean nodded

The group headed back to Glitz Pit and then talk to the security guard.
"Excuse us, we would like to visit the Minor League room please." Paimon said
"You want in here? I have received word that you want back in here. Truth be told, I'm not sure why you would want to come back in here, but I'm not questioning it." He said as he open the door and let them in.
The Mario Bros and their party walked back into the room and then head to the blockade as Mario and Luigi, on instinct, unleashed a spin with the Super Hammer to destroy the blockade. They walked further into the room and saw a paper lying on top of a shelf.
"I got it!" Alf said as he jumped up on some things to get to the correct height and then flutter jumped over to the shelf where he grabbed the paper and hopped down. "Here ya go, Daddy Levi!"
"Thank you, son." Levi said, taking it from him and started to read it. "Huh?" Levi widen his eyes as he take his Rotom Phone.
"What's wrong?" Rean asked as while Levi is taking pictures. "Huh? A machine?"
"Look, that Star right there." Altina pointed as the all look.
"It's the Crystal Star!" Paimon exclaimed as Levi finish taking the picture and put his Rotom Phone in his pocket.
"Something about this machine being omen... And the Crystal Star is fueling it." Kazuha rub his chin.
"But who would leave this lying around? Something is going on." Aether said.
"Ahem!" A voice caught their attention as they turned around to see Jolene standing there and tapping her foot. "I don't know why you're back in the Minor Leagues, but even if you did, it wouldn't be wise to destroy things that belong to others, hmm?" Jolene said and then yanked the paper from Levi. "I'll take this, thank you very much." She said as Aether, Kazuha, Rean and Levi could see a look in Jolene's eyes as she turned around. "Go back to the major leagues." She ordered and then walked off, where Kazuha could've sworn she heard a small chuckle from Jolene.
"Something's off about her…" Kazuha quietly said as they returned to the Major Leagues.
Then Aether's smartphone ringing.
"Who's calling me?" Aether asked as they see Tartaglia's number and photo. "Tartaglia?" He asked and answered. "What's up?"
"Hey, is the group with you?" Tartaglia asked.
"We are, why?"
"Make sure they're really close to us. Keep the volume low." Tartaglia requested as they did as he requested and lend in while Aether lower the volume. "Something definitely going around here. I just found out that Bandy Andy is missing."
"MISSING?!" They yelled
(BGM paused)
(Trails of Cold Steel III ost - Sign of Gloom)
"Shh! Keep it down!"
"Sorry."
"Yeah, it was after I pay you guys a visit. Bandy Andy was investigating the Seven Wonders. I've been doing a little investigating without drawing too much attention, and learned that Bandy Andy suddenly vanished. Something must have happened to him while he was investigating."
"That doesn't sound good... Were you and Andy close?" Mario asked
"We're friends, I'll give ya that. He tells me a lot of interesting things going on. Still, him going missing in a shock, no doubt his teammates and the others in minor league must be shocked to learn of his disappearance if they heard about it." Tartaglia answered. "Bandy Andy maybe a little sneaky, but he's not the type to go missing. Plus, it also adds up to one of his Seven Wonders, the Missing Ones."
"Yeah... fighters of Glitz Pits gone missing for no reason." Aether said.
"Ooh... Paimon is reconsidering about signing up for this tournament... but... we have to get the Crystal Star... Ooh."
"Speaking of that, we found out something as well. We found out interesting papers about the Crystal Star, someone is using it, and it's being used to fuel some sort of Machine." Aether said.
"A Machine? Something tells me that Machine is bad news. Listen, if there's anything strange just happen, let me know. Keep this between us and stay vigilant." Tartaglia said.
"Right." Rean nodded as Tataglia hang up. "Andy's gone missing... I think Tartaglia might be right about this..." Rean said.
"I hope he's okay..." Koops said as they went to the Switch where they hit the A button.
"Boy howdy, Firecrackers of Despair! Fixin' for a fight, huh? Well, your next opponent will be #7 in the Glitz Pit, The Shellshockers!

"What do you mean?" Kazuha asked
"While I was doing my own digging learned about King K's disappearance. I discuss this with his teammates. They told me while they learn of his retirement, he suddenly disappeared afterward. They were planning on a farewell party, inviting you guys, but he never was seen again after that. I think it was after one of your matches." Tartaglia said.
"The timing was spot on... but we thought he was retiring."Koops tailed off.
"Bandy Andy and I notice something wasn't right. So we team up and investigated. So far we found nothing. Later on, I'm sure you notice this, but he's gone missing too. I had a feeling he might have found something... but was he was caught and was never seen again..."
"Ooh... that sounds scary..." Paimon gulped as Luigi nodded.
"You guys said you found something interesting right?" Tartaglia asked
"Yeah, but Jolene took it away, right after we discovered it." Aether said. "Fortunately, Levi took a picture of it." He said as Levi show him the pictures as Tartaglia examine it.
"Hmm... A Machine with a Power Stars fueling it..." Tartaglia said a she swipe his finger and look into more of the photos. "Interesting... Hmm... Could it be..."
"You thought of something?" Mario asked as Tartaglia handed back Levi's Rotom Phone.
"Tell me, was it only you guys who know about the Crystal Stars?"
"Yeah, just us." Paimon nodded
"Hmm... I thought as much." Tartaglia cross his arm.
"Did you discovered something?" Rean asked
"Yes. I overheard something very interesting in Grubba's office. There were five fighters gone missing. I'm not sure who the others are. But it's no doubt the formal champion, King K, and Bandy Andy. Grubba was trying to keep rumors from spreading. But... I heard an interesting word from his own lips. Crystal Star." He said which everyone is surprised.
"Wha-" Kazuha paused.
"Grubba knows about the Crystal Star?" Alf asked.
"So it seems. He ask Jolene that, but her reaction... I had a feeling she does know something about it. Minus the evidence she snatch from you. She reacted as she lost her composer." Tartaglia answered
"That does sound strange..." Kazuha place his hand on his chin. "Hmm... I had a hunch about that too."
"That reminds me, Aether mention you received a threat letter right? I had a feeling whoever send you that letter is another part who also know the "truth".
"The "Truth"?" Goombella asked.
"That's right. Think about it. We have our Mysterious helper. "X". Who knows the "truth" about the Crystal Star and Glitz Pit. And it's related to papers you all found. And now we have another party. Who's also aware of your investigation of the Crystal Stars. It's most likely the culprits who made King K and Bandy Andy disappeared." Tartaglia explained.
"That is most likely the case." Altina place her finger to her chin. "But the question is why made King K disappear?"
"Your guesses is as good as mine. But let's end the meeting from here. Grubba's probably wondering why you guys aren't calling him for another fight."
"All right. Let's head back and continue climbing up the ranks." Rean nodded. "Thanks for the info Tartaglia. We'll let you know anything."
"A pleasure. Remember to keep your guard up. After all, our fight is going to come soon." Tartaglia wink and then he left first.
"Let's head back." Rean said to everyone who nodded and then head back to the Major League.

"Ashen Legion! Fixin' for a fight, huh? Well, your next opponent is Craw-Daddy!" Grubba announced
"Craw-Daddy? What kind of name is that?" Alf asked
"Hahaha! For this fight, I want Black Rabbit for this match. Black Rabbit, I want you to make this a quick match. I got a date coming up and I don't wanna be late, you hear?"
"That's your reason?" Altina sweatdrop as Grubba hang up. "Very well. I'll perform the swifted attack." Altina said as she head into the Ring.
"For this match, we have the Black Rabbit against the Craw-Daddy!" Grubba called out
"They send a little girl to face me? Cowards. But I'll drag your soul to the underworld." Dark Craw smirked.

"TWO SECONDS?! WOW! THAT'S GLITZ PIT NEWEST RECORD FOR A QUICK MATCH! GIVE IT UP FOR THE BLACK RABBIT!" Grubba declared as the audience cheered.
"Seriously, that was quick." The Shy Guy said.
"Never underestimate the Black Rabbit." The Toad chuckled as the others around him nodded as Altina return to the Major League
"Here's your Fight Money for your team." Jolene said as she hand over 14 coins. "If you excuse me. I'll be on my way." She said as she left.
"Dang girl!" Goombella exclaimed while Levi was laughing hard on the floor.
"What?" Altina tilt her head and see Levi laughing on the floor. "Why is he laughing?"
"Because the way you easily defeated your opponent." Rean sweatdrop. "Oh, Levi... never change."

"Let's go there." Koops said as they nodded.
"Let me contact Tartaglia." Aether said as he call him.
"What's up?" Tartaglia asked as he answered.
"We got a E-Mail from X again. Meet us at the Phone Booth."
"Gotcha." He said as he hang off and then headed out to the Telephone Booth. On their way, they encounter Rawk Hawk.
"You!" Rawk Hawk glared.
"What do you want to big turkey?" Levi cross his arm.
"Keep stealing the spotlight me from and you're all gonna enter a world of hurt!"
"Quit annoying us or you'll end up becoming a roasted hawk. Your choice." Levi said with an intimidating smile.

"Not likely." Aether answered

"And you're telling me that you have no idea who's inside?" Jolene asked as she pinch her nose.
"My apologize Ms. Jolene. I thought I heard something but I couldn't find anything." The security guard said
"Hmph. Very well, Just leave this matter to me. Go back to your post. But do not mention this to anyone. Understood?" She said as the security guard nodded as they both went their separate ways. Once both are no longer inside, they came out of hiding and then head to the lock door.
"Is this it?" Luigi asked.
"It's got to be." Mario replied as they put the key into the lock as they went inside... and they see Ms. Mowz again who was on the crates.

"Oh my. We meet again everyone. I feel like fate brought us together again." She giggled.
"Looking for treasure again Ms. Mowz?" Levi asked "Was that you making the noise in here?"
"Oh I can assure you, that isn't me. It's quite obvious someone else is monkeying around in here. Anyway, I'll be on my way." She said as she jump and kiss Levi on the cheek. "I almost forgot to mention. This arena holds many secret. I suggest you be very careful, otherwise you'll end up like those poor souls upstairs. Oh, there's a switch behind these blocks."

"Just as our mouse friend, said..." Kazuha amused as they look around for the switch as Flurrie blow away the covers which reveal to be blocks. Then Mario and Luigi smash the blocks. One they found a Charge P badge as Luigi pick it up.
"What's this?" He asked
"Oh, that's a charge P badge! Us partners can use it to increase our strength by charging!" Goombella explained.
"Oh! Me! me!" Alf said as Luigi hand it over to him and Alf equip it. "Nice!" He said while Mario found a switch and pressed it, where some stairs came down.

"Okay, it's someone is definitely watching our movement." Rean said as they look around.
"There might be hidden camera here." Levi said as he look around. "But I don't see them..."
"Either that, or someone place a trace on us. But I don't sense any on you. Come on. Let's go." Tartaglia said as they walked up the stairs and unlocking the door, where they walked into the next room and saw a huge block in front of them.
"This is it." Kazuha said as then with a powerful swing from the bros, the block was destroyed… and they saw King K and Bandy Andy on the ground, hardly breathing.

"Bandy Andy! King K!" Rean exclaimed as they all examined.
"Aidios, what happened to them?! They look completely exhausted!" Levi exclaimed.
"Hey, speak to us, what happened?!" Aether pleaded, with King K saying nothing but Bandy Andy looked like he was barely holding on.
"Nngh… guys?" Bandy Andy quietly said. "D-don't… go into the ring… when no one is around… it's… the only way for your… safety…"
"Our safety? What for?" Paimon asked and then Mario's SP Mailbox buzzed one more time as he opened it up.
"Now you know what's going on. Do not trust Grubba under any circumstances. - From X."
"What… what did Grubba do to you?!" Luigi asked.
"So... Grubba is behind this?" Paimon asked, sounding completely shocked.
Mario clenched his fists. "We'll find out soon enough."
"They're barely hanging in. They needed to be treated right away." Tartaglia said as he got up on his knees. "However, it would draw too much attention. Even Grubba as well. It's best we leave them here for now."
"What?! But-!"
"He's right. Think about it, what would happen if Grubba saw them right now being escorted out of here?" Rean stated.
"Ooh..." Paimon groaned.
"I see... So that's what's going on." Tartaglia rub his chin.
"You thought of something?" Kazuha asked.
"Yeah. I know what we're up against. So tell us." Tartaglia's eyes gaze to the door. "What was your reason for guiding us here?" He asked as he zoomed to the door, quickly open it, and got a small glimpse, but he saw Jolene running out of the room.
"Someone was falling us?!" Paimon exclaimed as she and the others rush to Tartaglia.
"Who was that?" Rean asked.
"Sorry, they somehow managed to give me the slip." Tartaglia lied. "Everyone. It's best you keep up with your matches. Grubba is probably wondering what's taking you guys so long for your match. Even Walls have ears. Act natural like none of this ever happen for now. Got it?"
"Understood." Altina nodded as they walked back to the Major League room while Tartaglia went back to the Champion room. Altina press the A button on the switch.
"Well, howdy, Ashen Legion! Fixin' for a fight? Your opponents will be #3! Hamma, Bamma and Flare!" Grabba announced.
"Hamma... Bamma... and Flare?" Levi sweatdrops with the others.
"For this match. I want Wind Spirit, Ebon Yoshi and Eternal Understudy for his match! Ebon Yoshi. I want you to appeal the audience!"
"OOh yeah! Leave it to me!" Alf smirked and then they begin to head into the Ring.
"For this match, we have the Cold Wind Spirit, Ebon Yoshi and Eternal Understudy from the Ashen Legion!" Grubba announced
"GIVE LUIGI A BETTER NAME!" A Toad yelled.
"Going against them is the Big Bad Brute Bros, Hamma, Bamma, and Flare!" Grubba said, ignoring the Toad.

"So basically, just my sword skills. Got it." Aether said as Grubba hang on. Then the door open.
"Excuse me. Ashen Legion, you got a gift from one of your admirers." A security guard said as he brought over discolored cake and then placed it on the table, and then walked out.
"Ooh! That looks tasty!" Paimon said.
"Let's eat!" Alf nodded until-
"Wait!" Rean said, stoping Paimon and the other who want to eat it. "Something's not right with this one."
"Huh? It's just cake." Paimon said as Aether examine the cake and sniffed it.
"Wait..." Aether gasped then he use his wind powers and blow the cake to the wall. "That cake has poison!"
"What!?"
"What are you talking about? It's just cake." The Shady Koopa said as he take a whip of the cake and eat it. "See, nothing-" Then his stomach kick in and he fell on his knees. "Ooooogh... I think it is poison!"
"Uh oh... Paimon almost gone near it!"
"I had a hunch who it was." Levi clenched his fist and Aether left for the Ring.
"For this match, we have the Golden Bladelord from the Ashen Legion! against our one and only Razer Blade Brigadier Koopinator!" Grubba announced

"Not surprising since he did tried to poison us."Kazuha said as he press the A button.
"Well, if it isn't the Ashen Legion! Guess who you'll be fighting! The former champion himself, Rawk Hawk."
Former. That word made Rawk Hawk nearly burst a blood vessel.

Mario jumped back and leaped forward, punching Rawk Hawk in the face, but Rawk Hawk avoided the attack and punched Mario in the stomach before using an uppercut to knock him into the air, but Mario quickly recovered and landed on his feet where Rawk Hawk jumped toward the back wall and launched himself toward Mario.

Mario smirked then he lung himself and deliver a powerful Punch on Rawk Hawk's stomach, forcing him to let go of Mario's hammer and push him back.
"Why you little-!" Rawk Hawk growled before he readied himself, then launch himself toward Mario, who immediately pick up his Hammer and swing his Hammer to Rawk Hawk fist, trigging a strong shockwave.

Until Mario grab Rawk Hawk and Throw Down Rark Hawk, following up with a Mario Tornado, but Rawk Hawk roll back in time. Then jumped toward the back wall and launched himself toward Mario, who immediately counter it with a powerful upper punch, launching Rawk Hawk into the air, and follow up with a Meteor knuckled and slam him back to the ring.
"Alright, THAT'S IT!" Rawk Hawk yelled as he jumped to the ceiling to try to send debris down on top of her, but Mario smirked who immediately charge up a large fireball and launch it at him. "Uh oh!" He said as it smacked him in the face to knock him to the ground as Mario jumped up in the air, and launch another Meteor Knukcle on Rawk Hawk's gut that made him cry out in agony and then he jumped back as Rawk Hawk got back up, completely in pain as he ran.

"All right! You did it Bro!" Luigi him.
"Haha! That will teach him a lesson!" Levi smirked. "Though I wish I could handle him. I like to give him a broken bone or so."
"I think that's the last thing we need." Rean sweatdrop.
"And now we just have to take on Tartaglia." Luigi said.
"Oh boy... Paimon think this is gonna be tough..." Paimon gulped.
"Ah right, You face Tartaglia before, right Aether?" Kazuha asked
"Yeah, but it was five years ago. Back then, he WAS a force to be reckoned with. But since five years has past. I can definitely sense he's a lot stronger then he was back then. I had a feeling we all want to face him together."
"He's that strong?" Rean asked.
"If that's the case, we may want to use our full strength then." Levi said.
"Not only that. But he's a master of all form of weaponry! He can wield any weapon at ease! The worst part is he can manipulate water and mold them into weapons!" Paimon added "Not to mention he's super fast!"
"Yeah, we all saw that." Rean nodded as he hit the A button.
"Well, hello there Ashen Legion! Fixin' for a fight, huh? Hyuck hyuck hyuck hyuck! Guess what, your next match is... THE TITLE MATCH! You are going to be facing the champion himself, the Bloodthirsty Fox himself! Now, this is a first for me, but which of y'all do you want to fight him first?" Grubba asked.
Aether look at Mario, Luigi, Rean, Levi and Kazuha who nodded.
"Is it all right if the six of us fight him?" Aether asked.
"SIX of you?! Dang! You wanna go all out with him, huh? I don't know... Feels like that would put him at a disadvantage... Then again... Fox himself told me he faced an entire group of Elite Jaeger corps called.. Zephyr or something, and defeated a brigade number of them or something."
"Zephr!?" Rean and Levi exclaimed
"And a Brigade of them!? But aren't brigade numbers like 3000 soldiers or something?!" Paimon asked
"Yeah... and Zephyr is one of the strongest Jaegers in Zemuria who rival the Red Constellation. If he's capable of handling an entire brigade of elite mercenaries... then he really has become a lot stronger over the past four years." Aether muttered.
"Dang! Not sure what these Jaegers are but sound like they're quite the fighters! Aww, what the heck! I'll grant your and his wishes. For this match, I don't want to see you be all salty if you lose! This is the championship! Now go in there and take your loss like a man!" He said.
"He doesn't seem confident in us…" Alf quietly said.
"Considering who we're up against... I feel like it's understandable... still..." Goombella pouted. "I know we can beat him!"
"Right. ready everyone?" Aether asked as Mario, Luigi, Rean, Levi, and Kazuha nodded "All right, time to move!"
OOOOOOH an epic battle is coming up! Far better then Rawk Hawk! You're all wondering how strong is Tartaglia is now? Hmm... considering the trails year is 1206 for now. I say enough to rival the Jaeger King and War Ogre. You know who those two are? Just like a certain Enforcer I know and created by now.
