Scent of Silence (Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories)
They entered Grubba's office and then looked around. "Okay, there's gotta be something in here that seems suspicious." Mario said.
"Hmm..." Youmu folded her arms. "When I signed up for the Glitz Pit, Jolene forgot to knock on the door and I noticed that Grubba quickly put a piece of paper in his desk...he looked a little pale too."
"A piece of paper, huh?" Minene asked. "I wonder if that's a clue."
"Probably." Natsu said as Happy walked over to the desk as he flew up and opened a drawer.
"Let's see..." Happy was digging through it and then found something. "Whoa!"
"What'd you find?" Minene asked as they all walked over to see what Happy was looking at. "A power sucking machine?"
"Using a Crystal Star as the main source of power." Natsu read. "Recently upgraded to drain all the power in Glitzville..." He blinked. "Wait...how come we're not affected?"
"Because no one in the right mind would want to drain someone's power while drinking juice." Youmu said. "...That's just my guess."
"That Grubba..." Juvia growled. "He drained my darling's power! He's NOT going to get away with this!"
"Do you have anything that can get Wendy back up and running?" Natsu asked Mario.
"Well I did pick up a Life Shroom back in Hooktail's castle." Mario replied as Natsu set Wendy down as Mario put in her mouth as Wendy's eyes opened up.
"What happened?" Wendy asked.
"Your power has been drained." Mario replied. "Luckily, we got you covered." He grinned.
"Okay..." Minene was reading the paper before tearing it into pieces. "That Grubba is going down." She said as they heard humming and then Grubba walked in...to see them.
"Whoa! When did you get in here?!" He exclaimed as they were all folding their arms.
"You mind telling us about this power sucking machine?" Natsu demanded.
"Uh..." Grubba sweatdropped. "Uh oh." He said as he backed up and ran off.
"Get back here!" Mario exclaimed as they chased after him until they got into the Glitz Pit arena.
"So you've finally figured it out." Grubba said. "I never thought anyone would get past my suctioning powers. I knew I should've connected it to the juice bar..."
"Well you're too late." Natsu said. "We're going to get everyone back to normal!"
"Oh, you really think so, huh?" Grubba smirked. "I'll make you eat those words...ONCE I POWER UP!" He yelled as he turned on the machine.
Face It! (Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories)
Grubba lit up as they all got ready as Grubba got humongously huge. "SUPER MACHO GRUUUUBAAAAAAAAA!" He yelled. "You can thank Hades for suggesting this to me! Because now I am powerful enough to wipe you out without breaking a sweat!"
"You're very welcome! I just wanted to provide them an extra challenge." Hades said as he was leaning on the wall.
"I both love and hate you, Hades..." Worldwalker muttered. "You landed us this job because of suggesting a power boost. Way to go." He took out his swords. "I'd let it slide, but Yukari and Hikari are knocked out because of this!"
Super Macho Grubba laughed. "There's not a thing you can do about it!"
"We'll help you when we're needed." Worldwalker said.
"Got it." Natsu nodded as they got ready.
"Here I come!" Super Macho Grubba shouted.
One Who Gets in Our Way (Xenoblade Chronicles)
Natsu, Mario and Luigi ran over to Super Macho Grubba and punched him, but he laughed and kicked them away, but they recovered as Minene pulled out her gun and fired, but the bullets simply bounced off of him as she then flew up and kicked him in the face while Youmu and Pantherlily slashed him. "IRON DRAGON'S ROAR!" Gajeel yelled.
"Water Slicer!" Juvia exclaimed.
"Solid Script: Fire!" Levy exclaimed, but Super Macho Grubba laughed and then punched the ground to knock them down.
"There's not a thing you can do to stop me!"
"VERNIER!" Wendy yelled, using it on everyone. "ARMS!" She yelled.
"The heck?" Minene asked.
"Just go with it!" Natsu said as he jumped up. "FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST!"
"IRON DRAGON'S CLUB!"
"SKY DRAGON'S WING ATTACK!"
Super Macho Grubba charged up and rammed into the three of them, sending them flying. "That all you can do? I could barely even feel that!"
Minene pulled out a grenade. One...two...three...four... She threw the grenade and when it hit Super Macho Grubba, it exploded.
"Human Realm Sword: Fantasy of Enlightenment!" Youmu exclaimed.
"FIRE DRAGON'S ROAR!" Natsu yelled.
"Water Nebula!" Juvia exclaimed.
"Hit me with everything you've got, you're not going to win!" Super Macho Grubba jumped up and landed, sending everyone flying and hitting the walls as he jumped off and walked straight for them.
"We gotta keep trying..." Natsu said.
"What are you gonna do about it?" Super Macho Grubba asked. "When I'm through with all of you...i'll kill everyone in Glitzville!" He picked up Natsu and threw him across the room. "Your friends are pathetic!"
Wendy growled and then went into Dragon Force, as she kicked Super Macho Grubba in the head with Minene. "Six Realms Sword: A Single Thought and the Infinite Kalpas!" Youmu exclaimed.
"Solid Script: Iron!" Levy yelled as Gajeel went into full Iron Dragon Scales and punched him in the chest.
"Wings of Love!" Juvia shouted.
"You all think you're all that!" He laughed. "But you're pathetic!" He smirked as Mario and Luigi used Thunder Bros, but he smirked and punched both bros and sent them flying away. "All of your attacks are meaningless!" He said as he grabbed Happy. "I think I'll kill YOU first." He said and threw him to the ground.
"YOU STAY AWAY FROM HAPPY!" Natsu yelled as his whole body ignited. "YOU ATTACK HIM...YOU GO THROUGH ME FIRST!" He screamed as electricity started coming out of the flames as well. "LIGHTNING FLAME DRAGON MODE!" He yelled.
"Lightning WHAT?" Youmu asked.
"Oh, this should be good." Minene said after planting C-4 on Super Macho Grubba's back and detonated it as Natsu ran over to him.
"LIGHTNING FLAME DRAGON'S FIST!" He yelled, punching him really hard as he stumbled back. "LIGHTNING FLAME DRAGON'S FIRING HAMMER!" He screamed, as Super Macho Grubba yelled in agony.
"Okay...this dude kind of scares me." Minene said.
"Same here." Youmu said.
"This will finish you off!" Natsu growled. "LIGHTNING FLAME DRAGON'S...ROOOOAR!" He yelled as Super Macho Grubba looked at this and his eyes widened as he was hit as he was then launched into the power machine, completely destroying it as he hit the wall and fell to the ground, leaving a huge mess in the Glitz Pit.
Glitz Pit (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
"MAMA MIA!" Mario and Luigi exclaimed.
"Well, if the Glitz Pit wasn't destroyed before...it is now." Worldwalker said, shuddering a little. "Man...i've never seen Lightning Flame Dragon Mode."
"Well, you saw it right in front of your eyes." Hades said.
"And I kinda wanted to destroy that machine...of course someone had to take the glory." Worldwalker sighed.
Natsu landed on his butt. "Man...i'm exhausted."
"How can you be exhausted after something like that?" Youmu asked.
"After he does Lightning Flame Dragon Roar, he uses up all his magic power." Happy explained. "It takes a while for him to recharge."
"Ah." Youmu nodded as Wendy and Gajeel helped up Natsu.
"Easy there, big guy." Gajeel said.
"That was amazing..." A voice said as they all turned to see Jolene walking up to them. "You never cease to amaze me." She said as she walked over to Grubba.
Jolene (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
"Wait a minute..." Mario looked at his SP mailbox. "Call it a hunch, but are you...?"
"X? Yes." Jolene nodded. "The truth is, I've been working undercover, spying on Grubba ever since my little brother, Mush, didn't come home." She explained and then got up to him. "Alright, Grubba...what happened to Mush?"
"I...I made him disappear ever since he got suspicious of...the Glitz Pit." Grubba weakly said. "Your brother...is gone..."
"I wouldn't count on that..." A voice said as they all looked to see Mush coming out of the remains of the power sucking machine, coughing out a little smoke. "Man, that's one way to get me out of there."
"Mush!" Jolene exclaimed and then hugged him. "I was so worried!"
"It's alright, I'm back in business." Mush grinned and looked around. "...Or maybe not."
Mario walked over and picked up the Crystal Star lying on the ground. "Well, we got the Crystal Star, so all is well." He chuckled.
"Come on, let's go tell the others that we got the Crystal Star!" Natsu weakly said.
"Aye, sir!" Happy exclaimed.
"And as for you..." Mush swiftly kicked Grubba. "That was for trapping me for all those years."
Jolene looked at the wreckage of the Glitz Pit and sweatdropped. "...We might have to close this place down for a little while." She chuckled nervously.

After all of those long Glitz Pit chapters, the final one that ends the Glitz Pit arc is short...and it feels kinda weird.
