Chapter 1 - Siege on Glitzville (TPHtP)

Parin tried to go back to sleep, under the illusion that Chubba and Yoshi would be able to handle the situation, but they obviously couldn’t. The yelling, screaming, and crashing became too much for her to handle. She woke her boyfriend, Lukki, who had been sleeping next to her, and their third teammate, Darius, who had been sleeping on the floor in order to get as far away as possible from the extremely romantic couple.

“Come on, Parin. Can I please go back to sleep?” Lukki blearily asked his girlfriend.

“Uh, no. We’re going to go investigate that screaming mob outside,” she replied.

Lukki sighed, “Fine…”

And so the Glory Raiders “ventured” through the halls of the Glitz Pit, stopping in the Major League locker room to pick up some fellow battlers, specifically Aaron, the Show Stoppers, and Tubba. Parin, of course, took the lead as she was the one who had decided to do something about the angry mob.

The group of battlers reached the door at the end of the hallway, and Parin peeked out through the door, noticing about one-hundred duplighosts, all storming the Pit. At their head? A dark blue duplighost with a D on the front of his blanket, sheet thing.

Parin mumbled under her breath, “Are you absolutely kidding me? Of course it’s Dopyle. Damn it,” shutting the door and then turning to the battlers.

“All right, guys. Here’s the scoop: there’s probably, I don’t know, one hundred duplighosts out there? And, uh, they’re kind of wrecking the place,” she clapped her hands together, “And, uh, we’re gonna go fight them.”

Tubba raised his hand, “So, the eight of us against one hundred duplighosts, who could be any species, any person, including us."

“Yep!” Parin cheerily responded, taking on Tubba’s greasy form, a duplicate of his club in hand. She flung open the door, and shrieked, “FOR THE GLITZ PIT!” like some kind of two year old, with the battlers following behind her.

Thus, the Battle for Glitzville began.

The element of surprise was the only thing Parin and co. had on their side. They were all sleep deprived (except for Tubba, who had eaten his 3 AM hotdog only an hour before), and were outnumbered, fourteen to one. The Pit's battlers' opening charge had managed to knock out nearly eight duplighosts.

"Well, that's eight less that we need to worry about!" Parin screamed over swinging her club at members of the Duplighost Disciples.

Yet, despite their valiant efforts, after thirty minutes of continuous battling, the Glitz Pit's defenses collapsed of exhaustion, now at the mercy of the Duplighost Disciples. Dopyle told his squadrons to take only two and leave the rest.

Parin and Lukki were now the hostages of Dopyle's, and they are certainly headed towards doom.
