Episode 1, Part 2: Let the Game Begin
"And the winner of the coin toss is..."
"Who won?" Wario asked.
"Eh, i'll just leave that info secret until the game ends. Don't want one of the teams to go easy in the game." Jet said. Wario's jaw dropped, but Kionna simply nodded and then the three returned to the others.
"Peach, since you took one of Jet's Super Saiyan 3 spikes to the eye you'll sit this one out. That way if your eye starts to mess up it won't interfere with the game." Kionna told the blonde, who nodded and headed for the spectator entrance. Wario then turned to Jet.
"What's the ball gonna be?" he asked. Jet then held out a spherical ball that looked like the Mario Sports Mix dodgeball. "Iggy, your claws might accidentally pop the ball, so you'll sit out. Especially if you start muttering nonsense according to what i've heard from Junior."
"I TOLD him not to tell anyone that!" Iggy said before following Peach to the spectator entrance. The ten remaining players then entered the stadium via the players' entrance and onto the field. Splitting into two teams of five, divided evenly by gender, they took their positions and prepared for the faceoff, Kionna and Wario in the center circle. Standing in the middle to meet them, wearing a referee shirt, was a male who looked almost like Jet albeit with much shorter hair that had three horizontally-aligned orange spikes in back and was maybe half an inch shorter than the host.
"Ready, Storm?" Jet asked the ref.
"Ready, bro." Storm, Jet's younger brother, replied after catching the ball. He then threw the ball skyward, and on its way back down Kionna caught it despite she and Wario jumping almost simultaneously (Kionna had a clear height advantage). The ball left Kionna's hands to Helen, who immediately struck an unsuspecting Gary. Boshi would then get the ball, and tried a shot at Azalea that seemed to curve towards Sherry instead. Toadette was anticipating the ball hitting Sherry, and as such was surprised when she took the hit to the left forearm on another suspected curve in the ball's flight path.
"Sherry, your shot." Toadette said handing the ball to the orange-haired girl. Pulling off a complicated maneuver, Sherry shot the ball towards Wario when it suddenly started warping all over the place. Lubba would take the first hit, to the back of the head, before the ball lasered into Koops and rebounded into Wario, glancing off him with enough movement towards the half-court line to cross back into the girls' side.
'How the heck did Sherry manage that trick on her shot?! In the three years i've known her that's never happened.' Azalea thought. Her subsequent shot was caught by Boshi, who then scored three quick hits on a throw; Toadette was out, while Sherry and Azalea also took hits. Kionna then took the ball, and when she fired it towards the boys everyone was caught by surprise when the ball suddenly multiplied. The boys were caught in a storm of raining dodgeballs, but most of them dissipated when they hit empty ground. Gary wasn't as lucky, as he took the real ball to the head and it hit the ground.
"Four per side remain." Jet said. Boshi took the ball and fired away, hitting Helen, Sherry, and Azalea and eliminating the redheads. Kionna then took the ball and, after putting quite a charge into it, fired a literal laser that hit all four remaining boys.
"It's now two against one as only Boshi remains for the boys against Kionna and Helen for the girls. Also, Kionna hasn't taken a hit yet." Jet announced to the players. Boshi took the ball and fired, but Kionna caught it before it could hit Helen and scored the game-winning hit after faking a shot to get Boshi to drop his guard.
"Round one goes to the girls!"

The two teams switched sides of the court for game two. Before the game started the boys decided to create a strategy.
"Okay, team, in order to win this game we'll have to take them all out. Best way is to take them out in order of increasing threat level." Wario told his teammates in the huddle.
"Roger. Concerning her size Toadette should have the lowest threat level. I'm gonna say Azalea is next, then Helen, Sherry, and finally, despite those seven inch heels, Kionna." Koops suggested. "After all, Sherry fired that warping shot while Kionna's got the dodgeball storm and literal laser tricks up her almost non-existent sleeves."
"Good point." Boshi said. "Best take out the weakest links first so they don't get the ball behind us unless it's Sherry's warping shot that gets it there." Meanwhile the girls were working on a strategy of their own.
"Let's go by threat level. Wario and Boshi are tops among the five due to Wario's muscles and Boshi's tricky curve shots. The others i think shouldn't be too much hassle." Helen suggested. The other girls nodded, then broke their huddle just as the boys did so with their own. Kionna and Wario took their positions for the faceoff. Storm then sent the ball up but Wario jumped almost instantly and nabbed the ball, firing away immediately and scoring hits on all five girls (Kionna took the last hit, to the back of the head). Sherry then took the ball.
"Time for the Warp Shot!" the girl with fiery orange hair said before firing; Boshi somehow grabbed the ball on its third warp and held on until he grabbed a red shell that suddenly appeared. He then fired away, landing a hard hit on Sherry that planted her right on her seat and the ball hit the ground before Azalea could grab it.
'Seriously, how did Boshi manage to counter my Warp Shot?! The twists of life never cease to amaze me.' Sherry thought before entering the jail section of the field. Azalea then fired away, but Koops caught it and then trick-fired to Wario who proceeded to launch the ball, scoring hits on Kionna, Toadette, and Azalea, making it five against one as only Helen was left; Koops hit her with the ball three seconds later as the last hit from Wario's shot sent the ball back to the boys' side.
"Round two goes to the boys!"

"This next round determines both the winner, and if you earn thirty thousand Coins." Jet announced. The captains took their places in the middle for the faceoff. Storm sent the ball up, and Kionna caught it. Backing up she found herself next to Sherry.
"Hey, how about a little Combo Trick shot. Power Accel." Kionna whispered into Sherry's ear. Sherry nodded, then she and Kionna combined their energies for a Combo Trick. Launching the ball from their connected hands, the teal-light-encased ball flew to the midline before suddenly jetting upwards. Instinctively the boys broke their formation; just in time as the Power Accel Combo Trick activated. Jets of teal light, encasing numerous dodgeballs, started bombarding the boys side of the field. Gary took five shots to the head, Koops got hit thrice, Lubba somehow consumed one to save him, to no avail as he had already taken four hits, Wario got three to his arms and a fourth to his nose, and Boshi somehow was never hit despite seven close scares.
"AMAZING Power Accel Combo Trick by Kionna and Sherry. Only Boshi, who somehow never got hit in the chaos, remains for the boys against a five-girl attack. Let's see if Boshi can do the impossible and win this round." Jet announced. Boshi quickly fired his tricky curve shot, but Kionna was right there and caught the ball as it tried to curve to her left.
"Well, Boshi, let's see if you can handle my Dragon Burst shot." Kionna said, then fired. The ball transformed into a dragon and chased Boshi around before splitting into multiple smaller, faster dragons. There were six in all, and before they became the original ball two of them had made contact.
"Kionna completes the perfection finish for the girls with a Dragon Burst shot! This challenge is over!"

"Okay, since the girls won the challenge Kionna earns the exception." Jet said, then handed a green card to Kionna. "And, as for whether you win money, the pot after challenge one is..."
'OF COURSE he has to pause for dramatic effect when we're anxious to see if we get money or not.' Helen thought.
"Thirty thousand Coins! Kionna won the toss!" This got the players excited.
Team Pot
30,000 Coins
"Okay, everyone, in two hours time the next challenge will begin." Jet said before activating the teleportation trick that got the group to Pipeline Central in the first place. This time they ended up at Pagoda Peak.
