"So, where do you want to get started on first?" Sara asked as she looked at Korin as she picked out some mining equipment & gear, though she thought she'd likely use magic more then technological equipment or gear. They would still be handy, in some situations.

"You are to overly cautious, you should learn how to relax and have fun." Gomamon said.

"I know how to relax and have fun." Joe said.

"Sorta, due to my influence." Gomamon said smiling.

lets start with that pile over there' Korin said looking at the large pile of rocks. She went over to them and began picking them up off the ground.

Dixie, Agumina and Tigeress led the movie group towards the large theater that had Ozai's head prominently shown at the front. row after row of posters appeared in glowing panels in the front of building, many of them showed ozai in heroic poses, beating villains or riding large beasts. ' They finally stopped in front of a poster in the middle of a row ' showing Monsters of Mawashi" which featured a trio of huge beasts and a caption ' narrated by Lord Ozai' ' this guy seems to be in EVERYTHING' Agumina said ' " its one thing if you are a leader to be on money, or stamps, but this guy is in anything and everything. heck they even having a bowing hour! Are you sure this isn't some sort of subtle brainwashing? ' Subtle? no this is flat out brainwashing, 'in your face, you will submit' level brainwashing, the kind Tachyon or Dr Nefarious might do' Angela said. " We love our king' Kiyo replied ' And the Fongoids loved Dr Nefarious too until he put them into detainment camps' Ratchet replied." i should know, I had to break them out of those camps." Well there are no camps here on mawashi sir I can assure you of that' Kiyo said to Ratchet. ' do you have a favorite movie " dixie asked Kiyo ' Pom Poko Sumos, but i haven't seen it in a number of years. Most films have Lord Ozai in them now in one form another ' A leader needs to let his people know things other than how great he is' Tiger said ' Seems your king is needy and wants attention. ' king ozai has been around for hundreds of years, and has given us so much. ' well with all due respect the sooner we leave your planet, the better. i dont want my daughter becoming an Ozai suckup' Tiger said.' he turned and headed into the theater. tiger was not one to hold back on what he thought of something. it was this candor that scooby appreciated in meetings, tiger was not afraid to speak his mind or call scooby out. tiger had come to accept his role on the team, and truly loved both tigress and flash.
the interior of the theater was lavish and ornate with dozens of screens showing various films, the movie they wanted to see was on screen 10 " the prices for tickers were 2 dolars for adults 1 dollar for teenagers and 50 cents for kids. popcorn and candy was a quarter each. the sizes of the treats were huge by earth reckoning. ' the two spyros and cynders picked out bags of cotton candy, flash grabbed what looked like an enormous twix bar, and dixie tigeress and agumina all grabbed popcorn. scooby got a row od massive sodas , each was 25 cents like the food. lilo got in as a kid while nani nick and shaggy put down their two dollars.' 15 for monsters of mawashi please ' dixie said to the cashier ' 12 adults and 2 kids. ' well thats 27 dollars plus the candy and soda is 10 dollars so 37 all together the cashier said ' and you do get free refills on drinks popcorn and candy. ' free refills on candy shaggy said with a grin ' this is my kinda place!' ' enjoy the movie the cashuier said handing dixie th e tickets and her change.

"Good idea." Sara said. She went to the rocks where Korin was and started to work on the rocks along with Korin. 'I hope we get enough here. They do need this." Sara said. She was hoping this and the others would bring in enough of the various ores that the ship needed. perhaps even wind up on doing some improvements.

tempestwheel · **Reply #2583 on:** May 25, 2015, 10:52:03 PM

"Say," Kiara asked Kiyo as they got into the movies, "Could you tell us about some of the local guys and girls who made this year's sumo tournament if you know any?"

Captain Carson looked at the remaining pins. She took a deep breath and backed up. Looking once more at the pins, she made a running leap and dropped into a slide.

----------

"Spike, is everything going okay?" a voice in his headset asked.

Much to everyone's consternation, a worker fell off a sled carrying ore and landed right onto the lava pool. Bursts of profanity erupted from the radio as the worker frantically tried to run across the molten rock and onto solid land.

Luckily, the lava was so dense the worker had no worry about sinking. It was the intense heat that was the problem.

Nick22 · **Reply #2585 on:** May 30, 2015, 08:36:44 PM

Carson knocked down all the pins " well we have a tie, and since just everyone else ghas left, it'll remain a tie. captain, you and your team are invited to hjoin us for a movie ;' the film is called "MONSTERS OF MAWASHI" Stripetail said. '
_
well theres Gloria, Marita Perdita Felicia, Tinna, and Cruella' Kiyo said " that for the girls, For the guys theres Charlies, Bluto, Balto Steele, hunter and mowgli. there are thousands of mawashiians who try out everry year for the sumos and only 32 make itin each flight..

Kor · **Reply #2586 on:** May 30, 2015, 10:32:53 PM

Spike dropped the latest ores he had gotten in his net into a basket. "Sure, coming along fine for me." he said as he was standing in a shallow pool of lava that was up to his ankles. His basket was the usual heat resitant type, as was his net.

He looked around. "I hope everyone else is going ok." he said.

He looked at the person who had fallen into lava. "Can someone help him?" he asked as he looked around, he wanted to help but knew he was pretty small and wasn't very strong, being still a baby dragon.

Terrafin came up from where he was and grabbed one of the longer pole nets around and standing on solid ground held it out so the worker would have something to grab onto so he could try to pull him out. he wasnt sure how much weight this pole could hold so lifting up out of the lava may be out of the question.

tempestwheel · **Reply #2587 on:** May 30, 2015, 11:37:31 PM

"Can you show us any pictures so we know what we're up against?" Vitani asked Kiyo.

Oliver was following Arlene around the planet.

Nick22 · **Reply #2588 on:** June 04, 2015, 01:20:29 AM

Sorry, but that wont be released until the tournament starts. mawashi tradition for the opponents to be a surprise ' kiyo said.

dixie and tigeress took seats next to each other. agumina took the seat to Dixies left, and agumon took the seat next to her.
scooby and the four ragon took seats in the row behind them. Ratchet Clank, Angela, stitch and angel took seats in front. the screen they were looking at was huge. the film had not started yet, they still had 10 minutes.

tempestwheel · **Reply #2589 on:** June 04, 2015, 10:57:22 AM

"I'm sure your bar will get a lot of service during the tournament," Kiara told Kiyo.

Rabbit and Fox were looking around the planet. "Seems this places worships their king as much as we worship the great Shere Khan," Fox noted.

Serris · **Reply #2590 on:** June 08, 2015, 10:07:51 PM

The worker's exoskeleton was designed to resist the intense heat of a lava flow but it had its limits. She quickly grabbed hold of the skimmer that Terrafin had held out to her.

"I've got it!" she said via radio. "My suit's shield is about depleted so please hurry!"

"We need to head back to the refinery to dump our cargo," the supervisor said via radio.

The skiffs turned around and headed back for the base camp.

-------------

Captain Carson sipped some of the green tea that was offered to her by Ms. Swimmer. "Thank you. I could use a movie for some relaxation."

Doctor Zanasiu stretched his sore back. "Same here."

Kor · **Reply #2591 on:** June 12, 2015, 05:50:03 PM

Terrafin helped the worker out of the lava and onto the land then to where the other workers were.

"guess we're all done here." He said before he entered the transport he had come in on.

---------------------

"Already?" Spike asked. he had been having fun gathering the ores they wanted, and had enjoyed walking in the lava, and dipping in some lava. He picked up the container he had been putting the ore into, walked out of the ankle high lava and shook each of his feet to get the lava off, like one may shake one foot to get some water off of it. Then he headed towards the transport he had come in and went into it, putting the container of ore among the rest.

Both he and Terrafin sat down in their seats before the transports headed off.

"I do hope we got enough." Spike said.

the first promos began to play, of which there were dozens- all naturally featuring ozai. the seats had cupholders and food holders, both were masive.' flash munched on some popcorn as the promos began to run. She had never seen a movie " say Aunt Dixie, when we get back home, can we see some more movies? she asked. " we dont have anything like that in my home"
- well ask your mom and dad ' dixie said, as agumina grabbed her paw in her claw.'

outside in the far end of town. sly was picking the lock to the top of a store ' he had decided to earn some coin, by knocking over a few stores.

tempestwheel · **Reply #2593 on:** June 15, 2015, 10:06:19 PM

"There's a lot of previews..." Kiara commented.

"At least the drinks are good," Vitani noted.

..................

"You feel confident about the tournament, father?" Jing asked, unaware of Sly making his move.

Kor · **Reply #2594 on:** July 01, 2015, 02:16:27 AM

Jason walked into the movie theater in his imperial dragon form with Wargrowlmon. They both had some snacks they had gotten at the concession stands. They went to some seats that were their size & sat down to watch what was on the movie screen.

Nick22 · **Reply #2595 on:** July 01, 2015, 05:16:31 PM

many of the promos had ozai doing riduculous thinbgs like diverting rivers, dancing obn eggshells and the like. ' this guy clearly enjoys being in the spotlight - Cynder-W said to her counterpart .' yeah, good thing no one is skylands has that kinda ego.' Cynder-S nodded.
_
food is good at least' Ratchet sad as he munched on some popcorn. ' pity they dont have holo-films here.' " or Secret Agent clank films ' clank said." what? it is the money from those films that pays our apartment rent." you know how the director and I get along Clank. he's fired me at least 4 times, and the only reason he keeps bringing me back is because you keep going to bat for me." Wait you're secret agent Clank?/ Can I be in one of your movies?' Angela asked " i could be -- your assistant- or secretary."
_
i already play his butler.' Ratchet said sourly. " At least you get to see yourself onscreen, Ratchet, even if its a minor role. I've never had that privilege
. And no being on wanted posters as 'the thief' doesnt count.' Angela said. " well i think we can do something about that. Perhaps the king would be willing to let us do a holo-film here' Clank said.'
_
movies are a pain to make "I've been in a few '; Scooby chimed in ' ."
you'll need scriptwriters, stunt doubles, all that stuff' Agumon said.' I've been in few digi-films." I could play a guard or something" cynder-S chimed in.the group was more interested in the conversation than preview 25 of an Ozai-related flick " i'm sure we could-get approval from the director- and Lord Ozai' Clank said thoughtfully. " We'd have to have tryouts for parts and so on. raise your hands and paws claws, to see if you are interested" nearly everyone in the theater raised their claws ' the only exceptions was stripetail and Kiyo ' too busy" Kiyo shook her head .
_
hopefully the film will catch my roguish charm ' Kovu Smirked " sure kovu, getting blasted by evil things will certainly put you on the walls of teenage lionesses" Kopa cracked " He was so handsome in his death scene!" " Listen your majesty, you wish you could have half my charisma' Kovu retorted."charisma doesnt pay bills or keep a kingdom together. projecting strength and leadership does that." Kopa replied.
_
Will you two both shut up?' tiger cut in." I could kick both of your tails without breaking a sweat' he pointed to the horns on his head ' these arent for decoration you know' he added as they began to glow blue.
-
guys. Can we please just watch the movie? Arlene cut in. ' we can figure out all the ins and outs of making our movie later. and yes i would like a part in it. being in the ' extended edition of the laffalympics and wiping out in Madagascar' wasnt my finest hour.
-
not sure dear ' the Pand King replied " we have never faced any of these creatures before Panda King said before the conversation turned to the movie."
-
sly by this time had broken in, a nd was sneaking around trying to avoid the shops security guard.

(Mawashi)

The workers were offloading the ore they had harvested into the conveyor belts that led to the furnaces. The smelter's interior was as hot and dust choked as the outside so no one took off their suits.

"Okay! We're going to take a break for lunch and then we're going back to work!" the supervisor said.

The lunch pavilion was a heavily shielded and armored building separate from the smelter. Food consisted of vacuum packed sandwiches and similar quick and easy to eat meals flown in by drone barges from the Spire of Winter.

-------------

Captain Carson, Zachary and Doctor Zanasiu shared an enormous tub of popcorn. Doctor Kerzach was sipping some green tea.

At the mention of movie tryouts, only Ms. Swimmer, Deimos and Doctor Kerzach raised their arms.

Captain Carson watched as a preview of a showed Lord Ozai lifting a building. She smiled; unrealistic, yes but the movie looked to be pretty well done.

(Weyard)

A group of Chong's men were wandering through the mining town of Passaj. It was a rather unremarkable mining town save for the material the workers were harvesting: an unusual greenish ore.

No one paid the men any attention, seeing as they weren't doing anything.

"Think Chong might have a use for this?" one said.

The other shook his head. "We're not supposed to waste his time with useless crap like odd colored rocks. Right now, he wants some gems for his magical research."

A gust of wind picked up and an enormous boulder of zol shuddered and hovered off the ground briefly.

"Actually, scratch that. Why don't we research this mineral a bit more?"

Nick22 · **Reply #2597 on:** July 01, 2015, 09:23:31 PM

Korin looked relieved to have had a break. she had been helping smelt ore and denris for several hours her face was blackened from the dust, making her red lips stand out even more.' nothing like hard labor to work up a sweat eh sara/ she smirked to her friend

tempestwheel · **Reply #2598 on:** July 02, 2015, 12:15:00 AM

"This could be my big break," Kiara smiled, batting her eyelashes, "I'm the pretty one," she said with a smirk.

"Yeah, rub it in," Vitani replied, rolling her eyes.

"You sure you can pull this off by yourself, Sly?" Bentley asked over the binoccuom.

"Say, I haven't seen our team for a while yet, father," Jing noted, looking around the shop area she and the PAnda King were in.

"Should we try to fatten up for this tournament?" Rabbit asked Fox, "If we do good it can attract others to planet Khan"

Kor · **Reply #2599 on:** July 02, 2015, 03:01:14 AM

"yea, though what we need is a shower to clean up if we had time. But a quick spell to clean up is a lot faster." Sara said to Korin, also about in the same condition as Korin, She did a quick clean spell to clean herself up from the work she had been doing. "There, not as much fun as a shower, but much faster." She said with a smile.
