After the great battle between the Great Contadre, his fellow Yoshi, Scrub, and the Armored Harriers, Chopper, Vivian, and Scrub headed back to the minor league locker room, where Jolene gave Chopper 7 coins for the battle. They also went up to rank 10 as well.
"And, Mr. Contadre... Mr. Grubba wishes to see you in his office. Follow me, please." Jolene suggested.
The three looked at each other and shrugged and followed Jolene out of the locker room and to Grubba's Office.
"I'm sure we don't have to see that locker room ever again," Chopper assured.
"Good riddance... The major league locker room looked much more comfortable, if you ask me." Vivian sighed.
"I wonder if there will be any food there..." wondered Scrub.
"I wonder too," Chopper agreed.
Grubba's Office-
While they were going to Grubba's Office, Grubba was looking at a piece of paper he pulled out of the file cabinet at his desk. He began to grin, but he stopped when he heard the doorknob turning. Acting quickly, Grubba put the paper in the cabinet once the door opened. Jolene led Chopper, Vivian and Scrub inside, who walked over to Grubba's desk.
"Mr. Grubba... I've brought Mr. Contadre, as you requested." Jolene noted.
"Muh-Muh-Ms. Jolene! You mind yer manners, now!" Grubba exclaimed. "We KNOCK 'round here, missy!"
"I apologize, Mr. Grubba."
"Don't you worry yer pretty li'l head about it none. Now, what'd I want again? Somethin' 'bout Contadre..."
"I brought them here, just as you requested."
"Oh, yeah! Thanks fer remindin' me, hon! I appreciate that! Now then…" Grubba walked over to Chopper. "Contadre, you ol' so-an'-so! Lemme congratulate you, son! Major league already, huh? I had a feelin' you were goin' places, and DANG, I love it when I'm right! You just keep on puttin' tuckuses in them seats! I'm countin' on you, son. I got a special li'l somethin'-somethin' for you. Go on! Take it!"
He handed Chopper 30 coins, leaving him to gape. Even Vivian and Scrub were surprised.
"Thirty coins... Wow!" Chopper gasped.
"So, yeah, somethin' else that's been on my mind… You may got the looks... But yer costume ain't cool."
"Costume? But I'm not wearing one... Right?"
"Oh, don't worry too much. It ain't no big deal, son, but hey. Someday, if you become champ, I'll get you a new one. Somethin' hot pink, maybe with some frills or somethin'. You'll look a sight, son!"
"But... I like the way I look..."
"Anyway, that's somethin' for another day, pard. Take a powder, OK?"
"Mr. Contadre, please follow me, if you would," Jolene noted. He and his two partners followed her out of the office and through the hallway to a different door. The Security Guard stepped out of the way and let them into the major league locker room.
"It's great to be in a nicer, cleaner room," Vivian smiled as they stepped in.
"This is the major-league locker room. You will use this room from this moment on. The match system is the same as the minor league... but the bouts are harder. Try not to get completely destroyed out there, OK, Mr. Contadre? Well, if you'll excuse me... I must be going now."
Once Jolene left the room, the three began to look around at the fighters. Unfortunately, no one came over to greet them, which left Chopper a bit baffled.
"What's the deal with these guys?!" Scrub wondered. "Would it kill these guys to show a little friendliness? Sheesh! They're not being respectful!"
"Yeah, tell me about it..." Chopper trailed until he heard footsteps becoming louder. "Hold on! I think someone's coming!"
When the door opened, the champ, or rather, Rawk Hawk entered the room wearing the champ's belt.
"Studly guy, coming through! Listen up, losers! I've been hearing some rising star tearing up the league..." Rawk Hawk trailed until he noticed Chopper. "Well now, look what we have here? You're that kid I saw in the lobby! Don't tell me you're the one! Yeah, you fit the bill, shorty! You seem to look like someone that's named 'The Great Contadre.' Well great my tail feathers! But seriously, I came all the way over here for YOU? Harharhar! What a waste of time!"
"That's not nice..."
"I'm the champ! I can say whatever I want!"
"What's important is that I need that thing that's on your…" Chopper paused when he looked at the Crystal Star on his belt. He noticed it wasn't glittering like the Diamond Star. "Guys… Look at the belt. I think something's not right about it. It doesn't look like a real Crystal Star…"
"What's your deal, Contadre? Huh? Oh! The champ's belt…" Scrub walked over to Rawk Hawk to take a closer look at the Crystal Star on his belt. Of course, Rawk Hawk didn't like this.
"What in the... Hey! You! Get too close to the Hawk, and you might get RAWKED!" Rawk Hawk squawked.
Scrub turned back over to Chopper. "I'm not sure, but it definitely looks weird. Yeah, it's really odd. But I think you're right, Contadre! This belt is FAKE!"
"The Crystal Star is fake? Then…where is the real one? I'm so confused." Vivian said while Rawk Hawk stepped back, glaring at the three.
"Hey, you think you can just smack-talk the Rawk Hawk?!" Rawk Hawk gaped.
"No, we were-"
"I DON'T THINK SO!" Rawk Hawk cut in before glaring at them. "You got some guts, calling my belt a fake, you shrimpy, no-belt-having wimps! Didn't your momma teach you any manners?"
"Whoa, sorry, yellow dude! I didn't mean to rip on your big, bad belt!" Scrub apologized. "Not like it's really bad. I think it looks good on a chicken…"
"Stop making fun of me, punk! You're alive ONLY 'cause we ain't in the ring right now! You! Contadre! If I ever see you under those lights, I'll tear you apart! Remember the RAWWWWWWK! Of course, I think I can let your other friend go. Sorry, but sometimes attacking a girl isn't a best thing for me. But you remember that, Contadre!"
Chopper let out a sigh as Rawk Hawk slammed the door in anger. "Geez... What a jerk he was... He doesn't rawk."
"Wow, I sure pushed that dude's buttons, huh?" Scrub gawked. "But screw him! If we don't know where that star is, then where could it be?"
"The map pointed right at Glitzville, so it MUST be here," Vivian noted. "If that's not the case, then I think there's something wrong with the map. If that belt on Rawk Hawk is fake, where do you suppose the real one is?"
"Hmmm…" Chopper pondered, but he jumped up in fright when he heard the Ice Land theme from Super Mario Bros. 3 playing. In fact, he heard it coming from his Mailbox SP.
"Chopper, is that your Mailbox SP?" Vivian asked.
"Mailbox SP? You mean the ones that were just invented?" Scrub asked. "The ones that can allow you to get mail in a portable than a computer? That sounds pretty cool! But why would it be going off right now? That song on there really sounds creepy…"
"Wait, how do you know about the Mailbox SP?" Chopper gawked.
"Sometimes you hear things as an egg."
"Oh..." Chopper whipped out his Mailbox SP and read the message.

"Who the heck is this X dude?" Scrub wondered. "He talks like he's the man to see about that Crystal Star. Why would he wanna help us out, though? This whole deal seems kinda wack..."
"We'll hopefully find out someday. For now, let's go reserve a match." Chopper walked over to the terminal and reserved a match. It was basically the same procedure as the one in the minor league locker room.
"Well, boy howdy, Contadre! Fixin' for a fight, huh? Well, alrighty, then! Lemme just see here... Yer next opponent will be... Ranked 9 in the Glitz Pit... The Tiny Spines! Now listen, son: in this battle, I want you to avoid switchin' partners out! Gotta go with who brung you! A fight to the end, side by side. Now THAT'S drama! Now get in there an' stand by yer pard!"
A Security Guard came for Chopper after fifteen seconds. "Mr. Contadre, it's time for your match. Come with me."
Chopper nodded as he and Scrub followed him to the ring, while Vivian sank into the shadows to go to the front of the crowd to see.
"Fer our next battle, we got the Red Headbanded Fighter, the GREAT CONTADRE and... The Thorny Demons… Yep, a fight to the finish with The Tiny Spinies!"
"Lemme at 'em! Yeah! Bring it! You ready for a beating?" Scrub taunted.
"Wheeee! It's gonna be fun poking fun at you!" the Spike Top at the front grinned.
"Get yerselves ready to… BAAAAAATTLE!"
Once Scrub used his Gulp on both Spike Tops, they were defeated easily, which gave Chopper 16 Star Points.
"Wow... That's all it took to defeat them?" Vivian gaped. "This might not be too hard at all...
"We've got ourselves a winner! THE GRRRRRREAT CONTADRE!" Grubba announced.
"That all you got?" Scrub cheered as the audience cheered as well.
All three of them left the ring to go to their nice and clean locker room, where Jolene gave Chopper 11 coins for the fight, making his rank rise up to 9. After adjusting her glasses, she left the room.
"Well, there's not much to do now, right? I think we should go reserve a match. But first, I'm gonna want to rest for a little bit." Chopper walked over to the bed and began to rest for a little bit. It was much more comfortable than the other, that's for sure.
When he was done, he went over to the terminal to reserve a match.
"Well, boy howdy, Contadre! Fixin' for a fight, huh? Well, alrighty, then! Lemme just see here... Yer next opponent will be... Ranked 8 in the Glitz Pit... The Shellshockers! Now listen, son: in this battle, I want you to win BEFORE you take 20 HP of pain! Our fans don't wanna see a battered hero win by the skin of his teeth, son! Now get in there 'an show me some grit, pard!"
A Security Guard called Chopper to go to the pit, and he and Scrub headed over to the ring. At the pit, they saw Koopas similar to King K., except these guys had light blue shells instead of gold. Their skin was a bit darkish grayish as well.
"Fer our next battle, we got the Red Headbanded Fighter, the GREAT CONTADRE and... The Turtles of Hurtle… Yep, a fight to the finish with The Shellshockers!"
"So-called Great Contadre! Don't think I'm gonna take it easy on you, baby!" The Shady Koopa leader scoffed.
"Get yerselves ready to… BAAAAAATTLE!"
Chopper just used his energy blast attack, firing a ball of energy at the front one, which did 2 damage, while Scrub used his Gulp to hit the Shady Koopa Koopa and the other one on the ground. The one they attacked was left with 1 HP.
"This could be a little tough…" Chopper trailed. But he didn't take damage because he was able to Superguard their attacks, which defeated the front Shady Koopa. He finished off the other Shady Koopa on the ground with a Spin Kick attack.
"All right, I won't be able to do much here, but I'll probably be able to flip 'em over!" Scrub fluttered up over to the Dark Paratroopa and he flipped it over with a Ground Pound.
"Heh heh heh… Thank you!" the Shady Paratroopa grinned as it got in its shell and spun around toward Chopper - only to have him counter it by grabbing its shell and throwing it back, making Grubba surprised.
"Whoa, nelly! He sure is makin' somethin' interestin' happen here, folks!" Grubba shouted.
Chopper ran toward the Shady Paratroop and used a Vulcan Jab to leave it with 4 HP.
"All right, I'll finish this up, Contadre!" Scrub fluttered over to the Shady Paratroopa and used his Ground Pound on it four times to defeat it, giving Chopper 16 Star Points.
"We've got ourselves a winner! THE GRRRRRREAT CONTADRE!" Grubba announced.
Everyone cheered and the three left the Glitz Pit to go back to the locker room, where Jolene gave him 11 coins. After she left the room, Chopper was about to sigh in relief...until his Mailbox SP went off.
"Again?!" Chopper groaned.
"Contadre! You hear that? You just got another e-mail! See what it is, man!" Scrub shouted.
Chopper sighed in relief and pulled it out.

"Man, this guy seriously needs to learn better grammar..." Chopper face palmed. "I mean who puts capital letters randomly? But looks like we should go there. I'd give anything to know who this person is."
"I wonder why we need to head on over there…" Vivian wondered, but she noticed Chopper and Scrub left the locker room. "Uh oh…"
Outside-
"Hmmm… Water is some kind of drink…" Chopper pondered as they went outside. He began to look at a couple of buildings too. "Maybe it's the juice bar? We should go look over there!"
They walked over to the juice bar and the bartender noticed his arrival.
"Oh! It's you!" the Bartender realized.
"Wait, what?"
"You're Mr. Contadre! Yeah, you're the pale green kid I've been waiting for! Actually, you're pretty late... Somebody left a package and a note by the door a bit ago. The letter said: 'Look for a small pale green antennae kid named Contadre and give him this.' The 'this' the letter was talking about is...this."
The Bartender pulled out a Super Hammer, which made Chopper jump up when it was given to him.
You got the Super Hammer!
The background changed to a light pink and a female Toad with a pink cap and white polka dots walked over to him.
"What the heck just happened?"
"Hey there! I'm Toadette!" greeted Toadette. "Congratulations on getting the Super Hammer! It's WAY more powerful than your old hammer! Plus, you can also use a wicked-cool new technique! Wanna learn about it? Sure you do! Let's practice! It's a little hard, but I'm sure you'll get it!"
"Uh… Wait, you're Toadette? But I don't know where I am! Could you please explain to me?"
"Whenever you get a new item, I usually come here to show you how to use it."
"Oh... I see now."
"This hammer is much different from before! You can use a brand new move with it! Hold down B and rotate the Control Stick until your body twists up. Then release B to perform your Super-Hammer technique! The key is to rotate a lot before releasing B."
Chopper brought his hammer down, and he began to twist his own body. Once he released, he spun around like crazy.
"Oooh, excellent, Chopper! That was so awesome! You want to try it again?"
"I'm good..."
"OK! Great! You've mastered the Super Hammer! With it, you can break giant Yellow Blocks and small and giant Stone Blocks! Not only that, but you can use the Super Hammer in battle!"
"Wow! A new attack for my hammer? That IS cool!"
"See you, Chopper! Good luck on your quest!"
Toadette left and the background changed back to normal. Not only was the attack power of his hammer stronger, but his abilities such as Fighter were also stronger, allowing him to do 4 damage with it.
"So far's I could tell, that hammer's a new model, the HAMMAWHACK 2005..." the Bartender noted. "Real nice hammer all around. Solid craftmanship, good grip, high bonkability. The commercials for this thing say that the hammer chooses its user... They aren't cheap, either, so whoever gave this to you must be a big fan. But... Why leave it in the juice shop? Doesn't that strike you as a bit odd? I mean, it's not like it's that hard to hand a gift to a pro fighter..."
"Wow, so some fan must've given this to me? That was…nice, I suppose. Thanks for giving me this!" Chopper smiled as he put away the Super Hammer, but then he heard his Mailbox SP going off. "Again? Sheesh! I should really turn this thing down!"
He opened up the Mailbox SP to see what it had to say.

"Well, you heard him! We need to go to the minor league room to smash that block!" Scrub suggested. "…Though I don't know WHY we need to."
"Ugh, I'm going to hate going back in that locker room. I hope it's not that long." Vivian sighed.
"We'll see what happens. Let's go back inside." Chopper suggested as he and his friends went back to the Glitz Pit.
Hallway-
"Lemme see the e-mail, Contadre! I wanna see what it says!" Scrub begged as he tried to get a good look at it while they walked through the hallway.
"Fine..." Chopper showed him the e-mail while Vivian put her arms on Chopper's head to get a good look at the e-mail. She noticed how badly typed the e-mail is too.
"You weren't kidding when you said that that e-mail isn't written properly," Vivian noticed. "Who would make an e-mail like that?"
They passed by the major league locker room and went over to the door to the minor league. The Security Guard happened to notice them coming by.
"Ah. Contadre, isn't it? I got the word that you wanted to move back down to the minor league again. Can't say I understand why. Anyway, go on in."
The Security Guard stepped aside and all three went in the locker room. As always, it was dirty and dingy as before.
"Ugh… It really smells like… Wait, I think it's coming from those Iron Clefts over there." Vivian noticed as she looked at the two Iron Clefts, who gave Chopper and Scrub faced.
"Someday we'll get 'em back, Bro! I swear that they're gonna witness pain when we face 'em next time." the Red Iron Cleft grumbled as Chopper walked past them. He saw the giant Yellow Block to the bottom left of the room.
"So this is it, huh? All right…" Chopper spun his Super Hammer and the giant Yellow Block got smashed. They found a bookshelf, and on the top of it was some kind of paper. They also noticed a broken computer and a shelf they could jump on, so Chopper and Scrub got up there.
"Crud, this gap is a little too far for me to jump," Chopper gulped. "Wait… Scrub! You can help me get over there, right?"
"Sure thing, Contadre! Get on my back and I'll flutter over this gap!" Scrub declared. Chopper got on him, which he didn't happen to find that heavy. "Y'know, you're not heavy! I think I'm fine with you getting on my back."
Scrub fluttered over the gap and got on the bookshelf. Chopper picked up the dubious paper and Vivian helped both of them down by extending her ghostly tail. They all looked at the paper, with Chopper holding onto it and looking carefully. Scrub even managed to get a look too.
"Whoa, Contadre! That's some scientific paper on the Crystal Stars! Who'd be investigating those things besides us? They even took pictures! Who'd leave something like this lying around? This just REEKS of funny business!"
"And this paper literally does reek!" Chopper added. "We better get out of here and look carefully at this paper. NOW!"
They left the small little area in the room, but Jolene came in the locker room and noticed them, making them stop.
"Uh oh..."
"Looks like someone's busted," the Red Iron Cleft snickered.
"This is going to be interesting," the Green Iron Cleft added.
"You again... Mr. Contadre, what are you doing in here?" Jolene asked. "This is the minor-league locker room. Major-league athletes are forbidden. Even if they weren't, it's hardly appropriate to bash down our walls, hmmmmm?"
"Well, look, Jolene... We were just..." Chopper was cut off when Jolene noticed the paper he was holding.
"What's that you got? A dubious paper? I'm going to have to confiscate that paper, thank you very much." Jolene took the paper from him and headed to the door. But before leaving, she said, "And go back to your locker room. You don't need to be here anymore."
"Aw, that's just great. She took the paper from us!" Vivian frowned. "Now how are we going to find information about the Crystal Stars?"
"I know, right? What's with that girl?" Scrub asked. "We busted our humps getting that information! Some people just gotta rain on parades! Well, at least we know the Crystal Star's here!"
They headed back to the major league locker room and all they could do right now was reserve a match, so that's what Chopper did when he went to the terminal.
"Well, boy howdy, Contadre! Fixin' for a fight, huh? Well, alrighty, then! Lemme just see here... Yer next opponent will be... Ranked 7 in the Glitz Pit... The Poker Faces! Now listen, son: in this battle, I want you to stand pat, OK? Do...not...attack...at all. The crowd loves yer partner, so give 'em what they want! Drive 'em bonkers! Now get in there and share the spotlight!"
A Security Guard came to pick Chopper and Scrub up while Vivian went into the audience to watch the fight. They saw two metallic enemies covered in spikes called Bristles, and they both gulped when they saw them.
"Fer our next battle, we got the Red Headbanded Fighter, the GREAT CONTADRE and... The Ultimate Weapons… Yep, a fight to the finish with The Poker Faces!"
"Lemme at 'em! Yeah! Bring it! You ready for a beating?" Scrub taunted.
"Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo! You're gonna be coleslaw, kid! And that ain't good!" one of the Bristles cackled.
"Get yerselves ready to… BAAAAAATTLE!"
The enemies had 2 HP and a defense of 4. Not only that, but using a hammer or jumping on them wouldn't work. Getting close to them would make their spears attack them, and jumping on them will make them take damage.
"Whoa, I don't think this is going to be easy…" Chopper tightened his headband and waved to the crowd, making people adore him, and squealing could also be heard by some girls.
"Aw, crud! None of my attacks are going to help us here!" Scrub sulked until he checked the items they had. "Wait, I think you might have a POW Block. Lemme try that!"
"Go for it."
The baby Yoshi used a POW Block and block with a POW appeared over he him. Once he hit it, the Bristles were knocked down, giving Chopper 8 Star Points for the fight. He leveled up and chose to upgrade his HP, now having 25 HP.
"We've got ourselves a winner! THE GRRRRRREAT CONTADRE!" Grubba announced.
"Is that the best you got?" Scrub grinned.
"I know, right? I thought we were goners!" Chopper smiled.
"CONTAAAAAAAAAAAAADRE!"
"Wait... I know those voices..."
The Iron Clefts looked pretty angry as they jumped onto the ring, kicking the Bristles out of the way. Grubba himself was a little surprised.
"What? The Iron Clefts just walked right in to attack Chopper?" Vivian gasped. "That's not right…"
"Whoa, nelly! I don't believe my eyes, folks! The Iron Adonis Twins are in a rage!" Grubba gaped.
"Oh, come on... Do we REALLY need to fight you guys again?" Chopper groaned as he got in a fighting stance.
"Yeah! I know!" Scrub agreed.
"You made us looks like suckers the other day, and now you're gonna pay for it!" the Red Iron Cleft exclaimed. "Awww... A little tired from your match, Great Stinkwad? Too bad! Prepare for pain!"
The gong rang, and Chopper started with his Appeal, while Scrub used his Gulp to attack both Iron Clefts and leave them with 1 HP.
"YEEEOW! That hurts!"
"You know, bro... I DID tell you this would be a bit risky..."
The good news was that Chopper was able to Superguard their attacks, but it didn't do any damage to them. But one last Gulp from Scrub finished the job. The battle gave them 12 Star Points as well.
"Bluuuuuuuuuuuuuuurgh... We lost, after all that... We reek."
"Hoooooooo-WEEEEEEEEEE! That's our Great Contadre, friends and neighbors!" Grubba grinned. "Kid don't even blink when the Iron Adonis Twins barge in and attack! Woo! Tough! He's too dang tough! Yeah, this kid is only bound for bigger things, folks! Until next time, everyone... See ya!"
Major league locker room-
Back at the locker room, Jolene gave Chopper 12 coins, and also his rank rose to 7. Jolene left after that, and everyone heard the Mailbox SP going down. Even the Dark Koopatrol, known as the Koopinator, could hear it.
"You. Contadre. Turn that down." the Koopinator suggested.
"All right, sorry about that. Let's see what it says. It better be important." Chopper took out his Mailbox SP and opened it to read the message.
Keep sticking your nose in where it doesn't belong and you are D-E-A-D M-E-A-T.
"Man, THAT dude sounds peeved!" Scrub gaped. "I'm thinking that isn't our X buddy. Who would send something like that?"
"I don't know... Probably someone who doesn't like us... Hmmmmm..." Chopper pondered for a minute, trying to think of someone who dislikes him. "...Maybe Rawk Hawk?"
"Well we can't just jump to a conclusion right now..." Vivian trailed.
"Yeah, I guess so," Chopper walked over to the terminal and reserved a match.
"Well, boy howdy, Contadre! Fixin' for a fight, huh? Well, alrighty, then! Lemme just see here... Yer next opponent will be... Ranked 6 in the Glitz Pit... The Fuzz! Now, listen, son: in this battle, I want you to avoid usin' any items! Empty them pockets! Real men don't need no trinkets to help 'em hand out a proper whuppin', you hear? No get out there and knock some heads the old-fashioned way, will ya?"
A Security Guard came into the locker room for Chopper. "Mr. Contadre, it's time for your match. Come with me."
Chopper and Scrub followed him to the arena, where they saw a black Fuzzy, a green one called a Green Fuzzy, and a pink one called a Flower Fuzzy. From what Chopper could see, it didn't look like Scrub would be helpful.
"Uh… Vivian, maybe you can help here." Chopper suggested..
"OK, Chopper," Vivian went up to the ring while Scrub stayed back. At this point, Chopper began to remember how much he hated Fuzzies two years ago.
"Fer our next battle, we got the Red Headbanded Fighter, the GREAT CONTADRE and... The Bottomless Vacuums… Yep, a fight to the finish with The Fuzz!"
"Meeeeork! Meeeeeeork! We'll suck your SOULS! MEEEEEORK!" the Fuzzy shouted.
"Get yerselves ready to… BAAAAAATTLE!"
Up in the upper audience, two Phis disguised as Toads were watching the fight. They saw Vivian use her Fiery Jinx to defeat the Fuzzy and allow Chopper to use a kick attack on the Flower Fuzzy.
"Interesting… So Chopper's fighting in this battle arena." one Phi noted. "Maybe our time to shine will come soon, once they're gone."
The Green Fuzzy just sucked 3 HP away from Chopper right now, so he used his Vulcan Jab on the Green Fuzzy to defeat it. They were rewarded with 12 Star Points.
"We've got ourselves a winner! THE GRRRRRREAT CONTADRE!"
"Woo hoo! We did it!" Chopper cheered.
"HOOOOOLD IIIIIIIIIT!"
"Oh, what now?!" Chopper wondered. However, his annoyed looked changed to a gape as he saw two Phis hover down, removing their disguises. Vivian was shocked as well.
"It's that robot!" Vivian gasped. "But...there's two?"
"Whoa, nelly! What do we have here? Folks, it looks like we got ourselves some robots who want a piece of the Great Contadre!" Grubba announced.
"What do you want?" Chopper asked as he got in a fighting stance.
"Look, we came here for a reason, and we're not letting it go down to waste," the first Phi explained. "We're the Phis, and we serve Master Gemerl! He wants those Crystal Stars, and we're going to get them for him! First we're going to kick your butt, and then we're going to blow this place up once the Crystal Star is in our hands!"
"And there's nothing you can do to stop us!" the second Phi declared. "Now watch us as we kick you around like the little scrub you are!"
"Hey! That's my name!" Scrub shouted as he jumped into the ring. "And don't you DARE talk to the Great Contadre like that! I know he's young as a father, but I'm gonna make him proud!"
"Hey, who's this little pipsqueak?" the first Phi wondered before pounded on the head four times by Scrub, while Chopper used a Vulcan Jab on it next, knocking down the Phi.
"Gah!" the Phi standing scanned Chopper and then used a Vulcan Jab on him, leaving Chopper confused.
"What the… How can a Phi use my own attack? ...Well, I don't want to get into questions right now. Let's finish them!" Chopper used his Vulcan Jab on the Phi and then Vivian finished it off with a Shade Fist, giving them 10 Star Points.
"Urgh… Retreat! Retreat!" the Phis quickly flew out of the Glitz Pit and broke a small part of the ceiling while at it.
"I don't believe it, folks! This kid's got more guts than ever! Hooooooo-WEEEEEEE!" Grubba grinned. "Now that's a fight that I've been wantin' to see! Havin' his friends work together to beat down those robots. Hot-diggity-DANG! Until next time, folks! See ya soon!"
