Now that Pippé is done with his training, it's time for the next Bela-ling to go through the course.

"Who's next?", asked Bela. The next Bela-ling stepped forward, he had a huge chubby body and small wings. "I'm Vesper!", the Bela-ling said in a deep low-pitched voice.

"Well Vesper,", said Bela in the same serious voice as he told his brother, "Are you ready for the training?". Vesper didn't say much, but he gave out a big grunt and said, "Yes.", in a deep voice.


Vesper has to go through the same course as Pippé did. "Remember, fly through the obstacles!", Bela reminded him. Mina however, is a bit corcerned about Vesper, "Are you sure he's a good flyer?", she asked. "Mina, of course he's gonna fly.", Bela said to his wife, "What makes you think he won't?".

Mina told Bela about Vesper's small wings, which soon makes Bela a bit cautious. "Can I start now?", Vesper asked.

"Of course, you can start!", shouted Bela, and Vesper jumped from the ledge. Unlike Pippé however, he moves his wings rapidly, due to his extra body weight, in order to stay in mid air.

Vesper also did crash in some of the obstacles, and even got stuck in the shrub. "Help!", he screamed, "I'm stuck!".

"Well,", Mina told Bela, "He got stuck in the shrub, so I think he's not that good of a flyer.". "You might be right,", Bela told Mina, "but let's just get him out of there".

Everyone managed to pull Vesper out from the shrub. "You managed to get past some of the obstacles, but not all.", Mina told Vesper, "But let's do the next test.".


"Now it's time for the climbing test.", Bela told Vesper. Just like with Pippé, all Vesper had to do was just climbed up to the marker.

"You know what to do right?", said Mina. Vesper nodded his head, and starts to climb up the wall. Unlike Pippé, Vesper did the climbing test a little bit faster.

All of the Bela-lings looked up in amazement. Mina and Bela were impressed themselves, as they cheered on for Vesper.

"I did it!", screamed Vesper when he reached the top. All of the Bela-lings cheered with excitement, as Vesper flutters down from the wall and onto the ground. "You did it Vesper!", said Mina with excitement, "You may not be a good flyer, but you're good at climbing.".

"Well, well,", said Bela, "That's more determination than I've ever seen.". "Thanks Mr. Bela,", said Vesper flapping his wings, before accidentally hitting the ground, causing a mock earthquake.

"Whoa!", said Bela, as he grabbed his footing, "That body weight of yours can really cause damage.". Suddenly, Bela had an idea, "Let's test out that ground pound of yours at the combat arena.".


At the combat arena, Vesper has to use his wand to destroy the dummies. "Now, use your wand to destroy the Dennis dummies.", Bela said, "But also, try using that ground pound move of yours.", Mina suggested, still backing away.

Vesper grabbed his wand, and started to destroy the dummies, one after another. Then the dummies started to move, and Vesper now gets to get angrier and angrier. "Use the ground pound of yours", Bela shouted.

"Okay!", Vesper shouted back, as he flutters into the air, and then does his ground pound, causing the dummies to stop moving. Now it's easier for Vesper to destroy them.

"I beat the dummies!", Vesper cheered, as Bela congratulates him. Mina, although still coughing from the dust, partially awards him, but later told Vesper that now he has to do the stealth test.


Vesper is put into the stealth chamber, and he is pumped up. "Okay Bela,", said Mina to her husband, "Bring on the robot.".

The robot starts up, and unfortunately due to Vesper's large body, he is easily spotted by the robot, and it gives chase. "He's going to get caught!", Mina shouted. Bela then told Vesper to do the ground pound, in order to stun the robot.

Vesper thought it was a good idea, so he did his ground pound, and the robot got stunned. Now Vesper can go to the button and shut the robot down.

"You've past the fourth test, Vesper!", shouted Bela, "But there is only one more test,", he continued, and it's the puzzle test.". "Vesper, are you ready?", Mina asked.

Vesper didn't say much, but just like last time nodded his head. "Splendid.", Mina said.


"I can make you proud, Mina", said Vesper as he goes into the room and tries to solves the first puzzle.

Vesper tried the maze puzzle, and he tilted the board, in various way. "Come on, little ball.", Vesper mumbled, "You can make it.". The ball hitted a few dead ends, but Vesper managed to keep his confidence as he guided the ball to the end.

Vesper soon went onto the second puzzle, which is the lock puzzle. Vesper tried to pull out the various pins, but some won't budge. "This is tricky.", he said as he tried to pull more pins in the lock. Eventually, Vesper managed to open the lock.

Vesper now has to face the memory game, but only managed to get four correct. Despite this the door opened, and he got out of the room.

"Congratulations, Vesper!", Mina shouted, "Even though you made a few flaws, you managed to pass the course!". Vesper cheered with excitement, while the next Bela-ling gets prepared to go through the training course.


Authors notes: This chapter marks the introduction of Vesper.

Also, all of the chapters in this story go in age order.

Vesper is the only Bela-ling to have a darker skin tone, and is often seen as the largest of the group, wielding the red ruby magic wand. Due to his large size, his wings are half the size of his body, making him a terrible flyer. His eyes are also beady, due to him having with pupils. He is a parody of Morton Koopa, and is named after the bat species, Vespertilionidae.
