The Slug Monster carries two weapons that are of note. His Vile Swamp Water only does six icons of damage, a solid hid for low to mid level battledome fighters, and otherwise ignorable to stronger opponents, except that it causes a pet to become sick with [[Watery Eyes]]. The Rancid Battle Dung he has is a multiple-use weapons that does 11 icons of damage, a devastating attack for most low level battlers. The Rancid Battle Dung combined with his high HP makes the Slug Monster an unconquerable opponent for most low-level battlers.

For those that can battle him, it will be a sporadic battle. Out of the eight weapons the Slug Monster has equipped, four of them don't do anything. (Boiled Sea Serpent, Cup-o-slime, Sludge Ball Key Ring, and Wiggling Seaweed Plant.) His other four items are solid though. He has the legendary [[Jade Scorchstone]], which will heal him to full health. His Freezing Potion is a once per battle freezer, if followed up by the Rancid Battle Dung you may be in trouble. His Vile Swamp Water, mentioned before, does six icons of damages, and also inconveniently sickens your [[Neopet]].

The Cup-o-slime that is stolen from him is not an actual weapon, and doesn't actually do anything. It is there only to keep Neopians from stealing a useful item from him during battle.

[[Image:RyshuBattle.gif|frame|Ryshu's ''close attack'' in the [[Battledome]].]]
'''Ryshu''' is a Red [[Nimmo]] ninja instructor at the [[Training School]] of [[Mystery Island]]. Taught at a young age by the [[Techo Master]], Ryshu was once an arrogant student, paying little attention to his lessons, preferring to spend his time on Mystery Island's beaches writing haikus about its beauty. Ryshu did not wish to train when he could enjoy the beaches, but his owner wanted him to. The Techo Master promised him a week off from training if he passed his [[Battledome]] examinations. Ryshu started training with fierce intensity, and promised the Techo Master to come the best overall. Although he did not live up to this boast, he did come in the top three for every category. His holiday was interrupted, however, when he joined the Mystery Island Militia to defend against an invasion on the second day. He received a Medal of Valour for his efforts. Ryshu then went on to work for the Grand Master Quests, the ultimate tests of a Neopets training.

Brucey B and the Lucky Coin

2009-01-07T07:36:53Z

Tamora: /* Prizes */ spelling correction

{{PastFeatured}}
[[Image:BruceyBPlot8 city.gif|frame|Brucey B and his friends discover the Lost Desert after almost giving up hope.]]
'''Brucey B and the Lucky Coin''' is a plot which began June 12, 2001 and ended July 10, 2001. During the course of the plot the [[Lost Desert]] was released, along with many new [[Game]]s, [[Item]]s, [[Shop]]s, [[Petpet]]s, and other items of interest.

==The Plot==
===The Lucky Coin===
It was the '''Annual Neopian Cheat! Championships''', with a prize of over 250,000 [[Neopoint]]s, a giant [[trophy]] and the title of '''Neopia's Biggest Cheat'''. [[Neopet]]s from all over [[Neopia]] attended to play [[Cheat!]], including famous Cheat! players [[Brucey B]], [[00 Hog]], [[Princess Fernypoo]] and even [[Capara]].

Most noticeable was Brucey B, who picked up the right cards and made all the right moves, and was wearing a golden medallion around his neck. After every hand Brucey would kiss his [[Lucky Coin]], just to make sure his amazing luck never rubbed off. With the help of his coin, he was able to imagine a card in his head and it would be the next card he picked up. Brucey breezed through the quarter-finals, the semi-finals, and then to the final itself.

The final was over in 20 minutes and Brucey had demolished both his opponents, Capara and 00 Hog (which is the only recorded time 00 Hog lost his cool and calm composure). Brucey was delighted at finally winning something. He could not stop thinking of the thousands of ways he could spend his prize money: A new yacht, a golden [[NeoHome]], and all the food he could ever dream of eating. Young Neopets would recognise him wherever he went as the most famous Cheat! player in the whole of Neopia!

However, a long long way away and completely unknown to Brucey and the rest of the Neopia, [[Dr. Frank Sloth]] was watching, and began to laugh as he took notice of the lucky coin Brucey wore (specifically after seeing the "Z" or "N" symbol).

Later that night, Brucey returned to his NeoHome and prepared for bed, intending to celebrate in style the next day when he noticed a letter lying on the floor. Failing to wonder how someone got inside his NeoHome, he read the letter...

<blockquote>''Dear fellow Cheat! Player,'' 

''Congratulations on your performance in the recent Cheat! Championships, I am impressed. I am cordially inviting you to a private game, tomorrow on the 14th day of Relaxing. The minimum buy-in will be 100,000 Neopoints, and I am sure this will not pose a problem for you. Look forward to seeing you there!'' 

''Yours Sincerely,'' 
''R.S.''</blockquote>

Brucey couldn't resist the offer of even more Neopoints, and with his lucky coin around his neck he couldn't lose. He received a telephone call from Capara , who congradulated him on winning. When he said he was going to play a private game of Cheat!, Capara immediately forbid him from going, and he should put the money in the [[National Neopian]] instead. Nothing could convince him however, and he appeared at the game the next day. It was dusk when Brucey arrived at the mysterious house he had been given directions to. He walked down a dark alleyway to get there, and knocked on the big wooden door, and was startled to see a [[Mutant]] [[Grundo]] open the door. Wondering what he got himself into, Brucey descended into the dark cellar below.

The game of Cheat! lasted for hours, eliminating the two other players, leaving Brucey B with no Neopoints and the mysterious [[Jetsam]] with all of it. The Jetsam made a proposal: He would bet all his Neopoints if Brucey bet his lucky coin. Feeling he could still win (and being influenced by all the Neopoints being offered), he agreed. The Jetsam same played a "4", and Brucey called "Cheat!", as he laid down four 4's previously. However, it was a ''four of diamonds'', showing that even though the Jetsam wasn't cheating, he was ''cheating'' at Cheat!. The lucky coin was taken away from Brucey B, and he was throw out of the building by the Mutant Grundos.

===The Next Day===
Heartbroken from losing his money and his coin, Brucey contacted Capara and Princess Fernypoo who decided to help him track down the mysterious stranger, each for their own reasons (Capara wished to steal the coin from him, and Princess Fernypoo had nothing to do). Meanwhile, the Jetsam delivered the lucky coin to Dr. Frank Sloth, who immediately boarded his carrier ship with his army of Mutant Grundos. They blasted off into the sky, flying south and startling many Neopets as they went.

While Brucey B and company walked around Neopia looking for clues, several Neopets recommended they see [[The Brain Tree]], as it knew almost everything. [[Kauvara]] also recommended this after hearing the story of Brucey B's lucky coin, and walked back into her shop and locked the door tight after hearing it, making it seem she knew more than she was letting on.

Upon visiting the Brain Tree, it claimed to have known they were coming, and said the lucky coin would be found through the [[Haunted Woods]]. All three were reluctant to attempt the passage, as no one ever made it through the Haunted Woods. However, Brucey's lucky coin needed to be found, so they walked through, and almost instantly everything went wrong. Brucey fell into quicksand, Princess Fernypoo was being held up in the air by a tree, and Capara was flanked by many dark creatures with glowing eyes.

All seemed lost when light began to shine through the branches of the trees. The sun had risen, but it seemed they had hardly spent a whole hour in the forest. The creatures retreated, the gnarled branches scooped Brucey B out of the quicksand, Fernypoo was released, and the scary gnarled forest around was not at all frightening any more. As they emerged from the thick forest, they couldn't believe what they saw. Shielding their eyes from the blinding light, they could just make out what appeared to be a vast desert.

Many miles ahead Brucey B, Sloth had finally arrived at his destination. He and his army arrived at the '''Great Pyramid''', but he could not get the door to open. To quickly remedy this, he had his army open fire at the door, but it was not damaged even after a 10-second volley from his army. He bade them to continue, claiming he would take what was rightfully his (the truth of this claim is undetermined, as he could be just stealing what he thinks belongs to him).

All the while Brucey and company continued across the desert in search of the mysterious Jetsam. They continued through the whole day when they finally came upon [[Sakhmet]] among the dunes. Despite never hearing of it before (not even in books), they raced up the last dune towards the gates of the lost city, thirsty and hungry from their trek.

===The Lost Desert===
Walking up the sandy dune to the city in the distance, Brucey, Fernypoo and Capara were amazed to see a civilisation and other Neopets living way out in the desert hidden past the Haunted Woods. Of course, they were more concerned with the fact these Neopets had food, and immediately ran to the nearest stall.

A rather large [[Grarrl]] stood at the stall in front of boxes packed full of foods they had never seen before. Brucey B began to ask him about the mysterious Jetsam, when suddenly Capara screamed, spitting out the remains of the [[Mummified Pepper]] she had been chewing, claiming it to be too hot. The Grarrl got angry, claiming she needed to pay for that, but Fernypoo hadn't brought any [[Neopoint]]s with her, so they quickly ran off before the Grarrl could retaliate.

Running into the next tent, they found [[Peopatra]] selling many [[Petpet]]s, including [[Selket]]s, [[Wadjet]]s (Capara shrieked in fear from these as they followed her), [[Khonsu]], [[Geb]], [[Anubis]], [[Horus]], and [[Khnum]]s. Brucey shared his drawing of the Jetsam with her, and although she couldn't give him any information, she told him that he may find something in the city.

Later after much searching, Brucey came upon an old [[Techo]] who mentioned there were strangers at the Great Pyramid and offered his telescope for Brucey to use. Looking through it, Brucey not only sees the Jetsam with the horde of Mutant Grundos, but the Jetsam sees him too, and waves.

Over by the Great Pyramid, Sloth fumed at his army, who had fired upon the pyramid with everything they had (even the ''megablaster5000''), but still the stone walls remained untouched. Frustrated, Sloth threw the Lucky Coin at the entrance, accidentally throwing it into the coin slot next to the door. The door opened, prompting Sloth to laugh and lead his army into the pyramid.

Not far away, Brucey B and company were hiding behind a sand dune overlooking the hundreds of Grundos and colourful tents surrounding the base of the pyramid. Having no better idea what to do, he decided they should wait until nightfall and sneak through the camp as the heroes in adventure books did. This plan annoyed both Capara and Fernypoo, but they followed through all the same, waiting till nightfall and sneaking through the camp and into the pyramid.

Deep within the Pyramid, Dr. Sloth and his minions forged their way through the maze-like tunnels until they came to a door with an engraving of the Lucky Coin to the side. Sloth placed the coin into the engraving and the door opened, revealing a great treasure behind it. While the mysterious Jetsam tried on the golden jewelery and danced upon the piles of gold, Sloth found the [[Staff of Alhasutek]], and laughed.

Hearing the laughter and heavy footsteps, Capara, Fernypoo and Brucey B awoke from their sleep which began not long after they had entered the Pyramid. Following the noise, they found not only the Jetsam but Dr. Sloth, and immediately began to run away in fear. Sloth chased after them, turning Capara into a wadjet and Fernypoo into a gibbering Mutant. Brucey escaped from the Pyramid untouched and collapsed against the Pyramid.

As Sloth's army emptied the entire treasury onto the ship, the Jetsam came forward to Sloth and asked what was going to be shared with him, to which Sloth laughed and threatened to give him another scar to pair the one given already. Reaching into a large pile of gold coins, Sloth gave four of them to share amongst the Jetsam and his crew. Sloth then lead his army towards Sakhmet City, leaving a path of destruction behind them.

Hours Later, Brucey was torn when he saw what had happened to his friends. Capara hissed, and Fernypoo stumbled forwards looking sorry for herself. Brucey carefully picked up Capara and they all set off across the desert. To pass the time Brucey B tried telling jokes, although nobody seemed in the mood for laughing. When he joked about selling the one and only red-haired Wadjet to Peopatra, he was quite firmly bitten on the nose by Capara, and Fernypoo was quiet and didn't complain about how dirty her dress, nails or hair were getting at all.

Crossing the last dune, the view took them by surprise. The the tents containing homes and [[Shop]]s were destroyed. Peopatra was desperately trying to round up a group of young Khonsu and the once brave Grarrl shopkeeper was trembling under his counter. Brucey managed to coax him out from his hiding place, and he kept muttering about the '''great staff''' and his destroyed shop, shaking all the way.

Fed up with his gibbering, Capara slapped him hard in the face with her tail. The Grarrl looked stunned for a few moments, then turned to Brucey and whispered, "You must get the staff...it could destroy us all...you must save us!"

===The Siege of Sakhmet===
The inhabitants of Sakhmet heard word of Dr. Sloth's coming and barricaded the front gate with countless items of furniture, even a large [[Elephante]]. However, the army of Mutant Grundos merely fired through the wall next to the gate and invaded the city. All Neopets were gathered and turned into Mutants, one by one.

Inspired by the shopkeeper's plea, Brucey B sent out a plea for help all across Neopia and set up a war tent for those who would help fight off the army. For three whole days, [[Neopian]]s around the world fought day and night against the horde, defeating them one by one, along with the reinforcments released each new day. Not liking the odds being evened against him, Dr. Sloth summoned the [[Rock Beast]], a monster which could reanimate itself even after being defeated.

After many defeats, the Rock Beast was finally put to rest by a [[Quiggle]], [[Shoyru]] and a [[Lupe]]. Before Dr. Sloth could create a new Rock Beast, Brucey B scaled the tower was in and jumped him from behind, demanding the return of his Lucky Coin and pulling at the Staff in Sloth's hands. Infuriated that such a puny Neopet would bother him, Dr. Sloth bellowed that he didn't have the Lucky Coin and threw Brucey off. However, he accidentally let go of the Staff in the process and it broke in half against the wall. The enchantments upon Capara and Fernypoo were reverted, and the inhabitants of Sakhmet were likewise restored. Sloth escaped on a rocket ship which was part of the tower, vowing vengenance upon Brucey.

Returning home from their adventure, Brucey B and company relaxed upon his couch (except for Capara, who still felt hurt from being a Wadjet). Both Fernypoo and Capara expressed loss at not finding Brucey's Lucky Coin. Brucey smiled and pulled the coin out in front of them.

Participants in the war were awarded [[Trophies]] on July 17, 2001, displaying the number of successful battles they fought in the [[Battledome]]. Three days later 5,000 - 30,000 NP were given to each user as well, depending on how many battles they won.
 

==Trivia==
*While [[The Neopets Team]] at this time referred to the [[Wikipedia:Egyptian pyramids|pyramids]] as "pyramids", they are now thought to be called '[[Gebmids]]', in reference to the [[Geb]].
*It's still unknown who the mysterious Jetsam is, but he still manages to play [[Tug-O-War]].

Meuka

2009-01-07T07:25:32Z

Tamora: /* Quotes */ Added Meuka's quotes during battle.

{|align=right
|http://images.neopets.com/evil/meuka2.jpg
|}
'''Meuka''' is a [[Meerca]] formed completely from mucus. He is one of the more noteworthy villains of Neopia. Though not a supervillain of Neopia comparable to Dr. Sloth, Meuka is an ever-present villain, making appearances in the [[Battledome]], [[Defenders of Neopia]], and [[Neoquest II]].

The origins of this mutated Meerca are unknown. Maybe a [[paintbrush]] gone wrong, or perhaps a freak created by one of [[Dr. Sloth|Sloth]]'s hideous experiments. Meuka can be seen slithering around the nastier regions of the [[Haunted Woods]] devouring everything in his path. His sharp jaws can cut through the vegetation like butter, and the same goes for young [[Neopet]]s who wander astray

==Plot Summaries==
{{NQ2Boss|Meuka|http://images.neopets.com/pets/rangedattack/60_left.gif|Von Roo's Castle|1000|1250|1500|Rampant Acceleration (38% haste), Infestation (44 group damage), Petrification (62% slow)|2 weapon/armor items, 850 NP}}
===Defenders of Neopia Series 1===
:''Main Article: [[Defenders of Neopia]]''

Looking for [[food]], Meuka explores outside the Haunted Woods and comes across a small Neopian village. He terrorizes the villagers and begins eating. He spreads more and more mucus the more he eats.

===NeoQuest II===
Meuka is the first [[NeoQuest II]] bosses in the [[Haunted Woods]], part 4 of the game. 1,000 hp in [[normal mode]], high medium magic user. Held [[Count Von Roo]] hostage.

'''Opening Speech'''

Meuka, his green ooze dripping on the floor, says, "Von Roo is my plaything now! You will not save him!" He flings droplets of smelly goo at you as he attacks!

'''Flee Speech'''

Meuka laughs and spits more goo at you as you run away. "Ha ha ha, you're no better than pond scum!"

'''Defeat Speech'''

Meuka explodes into a shower of sickening green goo as the last strike lands. You spend a few minutes wiping his remains off yourself... and the floor... and the walls... and the ceiling. Count von Roo, who managed to avoid getting drenched, raises an eyebrow at you as you approach him.

==Battledome==
{{BattleInfo|Meuka|http://images.neopets.com/pets/rangedattack/60_left.gif|60|75|7.5|Downsize Power Plus|Get [[sneezles]] or [[Neoflu]] and visit your pets status page.}}
He is villain #4 in [[Defenders of Neopia]].

Chia Pop

2008-08-21T11:31:40Z

Tamora: /* List of Magical Chia Pops */ added Carrot Chia Pop, which was released in 2004, though it may never have stocked

{{Construction|reason=More info needed on the topic, refinded sections or non-maigical and magical chia pops,release dates of each colour/Chia Pop}}

A '''Chia Pop''' is a [[Food#Snow_Food|Snow Food]] item resembling real life [[Wikipedia:Pop (frozen snack)|pops]]. [[Chia]]s are heavily promoted through these items. They are sold in the [[Super Happy Icy Fun Snow Shop]] of [[Terror Mountain]].

==Magical Chia Pop==
A '''Magical Chia Pop'''s a special type of Chia Pop which can change a Chia into a type of fruit or vegetable [[Rainbow Pool|colour]], the only other means of doing so being through the [[Lab Ray]]). They are very rare and must be fed to a Chia to take effect. [[Newbie]]s are sometimes confused between the diffierence ''magical'' and ''non-magical'' Chia Pops, and thereby either pay too much for a plain Chia Pop or sell too low for a real Magical Chia Pop.

Shenkuu

2007-08-20T17:39:08Z

Tamora: minor spelling/grammar corrections

{{Construction| reason=A more filled out article, to fit in with the templates of the other "world" articles.}}

[[Image:shenkku_world.PNG|right|frame|Map of Shenkuu]]
'''Shenkuu''' is a mountainous land far North of [[Altador]] in [[Neopia]]. It was made available on September 8, 2006 after the [[Cyodrake's Gaze]] plot. Like the name suggests, Shenkuu is a [[wikipedia:China|Chinese]] themed world, although it takes its design from both China and [[wikipedia:Japan|Japan]]. Shenkuu has been unknown to Neopians for centuries, only to be revealed by the crew of the [[Cyodrake's Gaze]] after they received help from users. Its citizens are cautious of visitors, though this isn't explained why, but nonetheless they have welcomed visitors from all over Neopia, spreading their trade (as it is a merchant town).

==Yooyuball==
Joining the [[Altador Cup]] in 2007, Shenkuu is regarded by [[Altador Cup]] enthusiasts as an exciting young team with plenty of promise, but they were expected not to make much noise in the tournament, having too many holes in their team. The inexperience of goalie [[Xana DiLanche]], the unpredictable health of defender [[Turo Rafels]], and the team's overall lack of tournament play are all serious concerns. However, the stunning talent of young forwards [[Misha Grelinek]] and [[Foltaggio]] may cause a few upsets.

*[[Foltaggio]] - ''Right Forward''
*[[Larcy Phu]] - ''Right Defender''
*[[Mirsha Grelinek]] - ''Left Forward, Team Captain''
*[[Turo Rafels]] - ''Left Defender''
*[[Xana DiLanche]] - ''Goalkeeper''

The team surpassed expectations by claiming 3rd place in the 2007 Cup after defeating Krawk Island in the finals.

==Trivia==
*The name ''Shenkuu'' was first revealed on the [[Kou-jong]] game page accidentally at its first release.
*A [[Neopedia]] article about Shenkuu was released on September 30, 2006, but wasn't uploaded into the servers until October 2, 2006. When users clicked the link in [[New Features]] until this point, they encountered a page saying that Neopedia article didn't exist.

Grey Faerie

2007-06-21T07:16:17Z

Tamora: fixed their/there usage

{{PastFeatured}}
[[Image:Grey Faerie Image.gif|frame|Grey Faerie [[NeoDeck]] image.]]
The '''Grey Faerie''' is a [[Faerie]] in [[Neopia]] which has had her wings removed, destroying all her use in magic. Introduced to [[Neopets (website)|Neopets]] through a [[Neopedia]] article on April 18, 2003, to date there is only one known Grey Faerie (originally named '''Baelia'''), although there may be more in hiding. As told in a the original Neopedia article, Baelia was stripped of her magical powers imprisoned by a [[Dark Faerie]] named [[Jennumara]]. She was freed by [[Tavi]], a mountain climber who tricked the lock of her cage. It is said she would regain her powers when she received a new name.

==Bottled Grey Faerie==
{|align=right
|http://images.neopets.com/items/bottlefaerie_grey.gif
|}
On April 18, 2003 when the Grey Faerie Neopedia was released, an image of a [[Bottled Faerie]] with the Grey Faerie inside was found on the servers, raising speculation about Baelia and a possible plot. This suspicion was raised when [[The Neopets Team]] revealed in [[Neopian Times]] [http://www.neopets.com/newnt/index.phtml?section=editorial&week=90 editorial #90] users would "be hearing more about grey faeries soon", hinting there were many more Grey Faeries. Since that time, no news about the Grey Faerie has been released, making users wonder if the plot has been abandoned or rescheduled.

==Colour==
{|align=left
|http://images.neopets.com/items/greypntbrush.gif
|}
Users have the option of [[Rainbow Pool|colouring]] their [[Neopet]] or [[Petpet]] ''Grey'', which is a design similar to the Grey Faerie released on April 9, 2004. Key traits of the Grey colour include red and baggy eyes, weak body movements and looking sad even when happy. Unlike the Grey Faerie, Neopets or Petpets coloured Grey do not lose their ability to use magic, as made apparent by Neopets use of [[Faerie Abilities]] in the [[Battledome]]. Because Grey is just a colour and just looks sad, a Neopets's mood isn't affected when coloured or if a ''Grey'' Petpet is attached.

Petpets were actually capable of being painted Grey on September 4, 2003, before the current design was ever released. Since the new design, artwork of the Grey Petpet have been updated. Some Petpets are naturally coloured Grey, and don't bear any of the characteristics of the colour. There is also one permanently Grey coloured Petpet called [[Frowny]].

As of December 2006, there are 36 different Neopets and 39 different Petpets which can be painted Grey.

Brucey B and the Lucky Coin

2006-05-06T19:07:27Z

Tamora: /* The Siege on Sakhmet */ cleaning up spelling, phrasing, etc.

During the course of the plot new [[Game]]s, [[Item]]s, [[Shop]]s, [[Petpet]]s, and other items of interest (along with the [[Lost Desert]] of course) were released. Began June 12th, 2001 and ended July 10th, 2001.

==The Plot==
===The Lucky Coin===

The Plot began at the '''Annual Neopian Cheat! Championships'''. With a prize of over '''250,000''' [[Neopoint]]s at stake, [[Neopet]]s from all over [[Neopia]] attended to play [[Cheat!]] - hoping to carry off the [[trophy]], the money, and of course, the title of '''Neopia's Biggest Cheat!'''

The competition was attended by famous Cheat! players, including [[Brucey B]], [[00 Hog]], [[Princess Fernypoo]] and even [[Capara]] the [[Kyrii]]. With hundreds and hundreds of other players, what hope did they stand? This year would most probably be the same as last year, and the year before that...complete and utter failure.

Brucey B began the competition on a lucky streak. He picked up the right cards and made all the right moves. His smiles began to turn into chuckles, and his chuckles began to turn into laughter...tonight was his night, and nobody could beat him. He could not believe his luck. He imagine a card in his head, and it would be the next card he picked up every time!

The golden medallion around Brucey's neck was noticed by everybody. Not that anyone could have missed it, as after every hand Brucey would kiss his lucky coin, just to make sure his amazing luck never rubbed off. With the help of his coin, Brucey breezed through the quarter-finals, the semi-finals, and then to the final itself.

The final was over in 20 minutes, and Brucey had demolished both his opponents, Capara and 00 Hog (which is the only recorded time 00 Hog lost his cool and calm composure). Brucey was the new champion, making the 250,000 Neopoints and the trophy his.

Brucey was delighted, being he had finally won something. He could not stop thinking of the thousands of ways he could spend his prize money: A new yacht, a golden [[NeoHome]], and all the food he could ever dream of eating. Young Neopets would recognise him wherever he went as the most famous Cheat! player in the whole of Neopia!

However, a long long way away and completely unknown to Brucey and the rest of the Neopia, [[Dr. Frank Sloth]] was watching, and began to laugh as he took notice of the lucky coin Brucey wore (specifically after seeing the "Z" or "N" symbol).

===Later That Night...===

That night, Brucey headed back his NeoHome and prepared himself for bed, knowing that tomorrow he would celebrate in style. Brucey noticed a letter lying on the floor. ''That's funny, who would write ME a letter?'' thought Brucey as he bent down to pick it up '''(though he fails to wonder how someone got inside his NeoHome)'''.

<blockquote>''Dear fellow Cheat! Player,'' 

''Congratulations on your performance in the recent Cheat! Championships, I am impressed. I am cordially inviting you to a private game, tomorrow on the 14th day of Relaxing. The minimum buy-in will be 100,000 Neopoints, and I am sure this will not pose a problem for you. Look forward to seeing you there!'' 

''Yours Sincerely,'' 
''R.S.''</blockquote>

Brucey could not resist the offer. It was a great chance for him to win '''EVEN MORE''' Neopoints, and with his lucky coin around his neck, how could he lose?

Suddenly, the telephone rang...''CONGRATULATIONS!!!'' came the voice over the speaker. It was Capara the Kyrii, Brucey's friend. ''I heard you won, thats fantastic news' said Capara. 'What are you going to do with the money???''.

''Oh, hi Capara. Yeah great news isn't it? I have been on this amazing lucky streak all week'', replied Brucey, ''And I have even better news for you: I have been invited to another game, I'm bound to win.''

''Don't you DARE!'' cried Capara. ''You know what happened last time. Now you put that money STRAIGHT in the National Neopian, or I'll be round there this minute''.

Brucey just smiled. Nothing in the world could convince him otherwise, and he appeared at the game the next day. It was dusk when Brucey arrived at the mysterious house he had been given directions to. He walked down a dark alleyway to get there, and knocked on the big wooden door, and was startled to see an evil Mutant [[Grundo]] open the door. ''What have I got myself into??'', thought Brucey as he descended into the dark cellar below.

The game of Cheat! lasted for hours, eliminating the two other players, leaving Brucey B with no Neopoints and the mysterious [[Jetsam]] with all of it. The Jetsam then made a proposal: He would bet all of his Neopoints if Brucey bet his lucky coin. Feeling he could still win (and being influenced by all the Neopoints being offered), he agreed. The Jetsam same played a "4", and Brucey called "Cheat!", as he laid down four 4's previously. However, it was a ''four of daimonds'', showing that even though the Jetsam wasn't cheating, he was ''cheating'' at Cheat!

The lucky coin was taken away from Brucey B, and he was throw out of the building by the Mutant Grundos.

===The Next Day===

Heartbroken from losing his money and his coin, Brucey contacted Capara and Princess Fernypoo, who decided to help him track down the mysterious stranger, each for their own reasons (Capara wished to steal the coin from him, and Princess Fernypoo had nothing to do).

Meanwhile, the Jetsam delivered the lucky coin to Dr. Frank Sloth, who immediately boarded his carrier ship with his army of Mutant Grundos. They blasted off into the sky, flying south and startling many Neopets as they went.

While Brucey B and company walked around Neopia looking for clues, several Neopets recommended they see [[The Brain Tree]], as it knew almost everything. [[Kauvara]] also recommended this after hearing the story of Brucey B's lucky coin, and walked back into her shop and locked the door tight after hearing it, making it seem she knew more than she was letting on.

Upon visiting the Brain Tree, it claimed to have known they were coming, and it said the lucky coin would be found through the [[Haunted Woods]]. All three were reluctant to attempt the passage, as no one ever made it through the Haunted Woods. However, Brucey's lucky coin needed to be found, so they walked through, and almost instantly everything went wrong. Brucey fell into quicksand, Princess Fernypoo was being held up in the air by a tree, and Capara was flanked by many dark creatures with glowing eyes.

All seemed lost when sunlight began to shine through the branches of the trees all around. The sun had risen, but it seemed they had hardly spent a whole hour in the forest. The creatures retreated, the gnarled branches scooped Brucey B out of the quicksand, Fernypoo was released, and the scary gnarled forest around was not at all frightening any more.

As they emerged from the thick forest, they couldn't believe what they saw. Shielding their eyes from the blinding light, they could just make out what appeared to be a vast plain. In the distance was what appeared to be a desert.

Meanwhile that same morning, many miles ahead Sloth had finally arrived at his destination. He and his army arrived at ''(name of temple)'', but he could not get the door to open. To quickly remedy this, he had his army open fire at the door, but it was not damaged even after a 10-second volley from his army. He bade them to continue, claiming he would take what was rightfully his (the truth of this claim is undetermined, as he could be just stealing what he thinks belongs to him).

All the while Brucey and company continued across the desert in search of the mysterious Jetsam. They continued through the whole day until all seemed hopeless, when they finally came upon a gigantic city among the dunes. Despite never hearing of it before (not even in books), they raced up the last dune towards the gates of the lost city, thirsty and hungry from their trek.

===The Lost Desert===
[[Image:BruceyBPlot8 city.gif|right]]Walking up the sandy dune to the city in the distance, Brucey, Fernypoo and Capara were amazed to see a civilisation and other Neopets living way out in the desert hidden past the [[Haunted Woods]]. Of course, they were more concerned with the fact that these Neopets had food, and immediately ran to the nearest stall.

A rather large [[Grarrl]] stood at the stall in front of boxes packed full of foods they had never seen before. Brucey B began to ask him about the mysterious Jetsam, when suddenly Capara screamed, spitting out the remains of the [[Mummified Pepper]] she had been chewing, claiming it to be too hot. The Grarrl got angry, claiming she needed to pay for that, but Fernypoo hadn't brought any [[Neopoint]]s with her, so they quickly ran off before the Grarrl could retaliate.

Running into the next tent, they found [[Peopatra]] selling many [[Petpet]]s, including [[Selket]]s, [[Wadjet]]s (Capara shrieked in fear from these as they followed her), [[Khonsu]], [[Geb]], [[Anubis]], [[Horus]], and [[Khnum]]s. Brucey shared his drawing of the Jetsam with her, and although she couldn't give him any information, she told him that he may find something in the city.

Later, after much searching, Brucey came upon an old [[Techo]] who mentioned that there were strangers at the '''Great Pyramid''' and offered his telescope for Brucey to use. Looking through it, Brucey not only sees the Jetsam with the horde of Mutant Grundos, but the Jetsam sees him too, and waves.

Over by the '''Great Pyramid''', Sloth fumed at his army, who had fired upon the pyramid with everything they had (even the '''megablaster5000'''), but still the stone walls remained untouched. Frustrated, Sloth threw the Lucky Coin at the entrance, accidently throwing it into the coin slot next to the door. The door opened, prompting Sloth to laugh and lead his army into the pyramid.

Not far away, Brucey B and company were hiding behind a sand dune overlooking the hundreds of Grundos and colourful tents surrounding the base of the pyramid. Having no better idea what to do, he decided they should wait until nightfall and sneak through the camp as the heroes in adventure books did. This plan annoyed both Capara and Fernypoo, but they followed through all the same, waiting till nightfall and sneaking into the Great Pyramid.

Deep within the Pyramid, Dr. Sloth and his minions forged their way through the maze-like tunnels until they came to a door with an engraving of the Lucky Coin to the side. Sloth placed the coin into the engraving and the door opened, revealing a great treasure behind it. While the mysterious Jetsam tried on the golden jewelery and danced upon the piles of gold, Sloth found the [[Staff of Alhasutek]], and laughed.

Hearing the laughter and heavy footsteps, Capara, Fernypoo and Brucey B awoke - they had fallen asleep not long after they had entered the Pyramid. Following the noise, they found not only the Jetsam but also Dr. Sloth, and immediately began to run away in fear. Sloth chased after them, turning Capara into a wadjet and Fernypoo into a gibbering Mutant. Brucey escaped from the Pyramid untouched and collapsed against the Pyramid.

As Sloth's army emptied the entire treasury onto the ship, the Jetsam came forward to Sloth and asked what was going to be shared with him, to which Sloth laughed, and threatened to give him another scar to pair the one given already. He then quickly reached into a large pile of gold coins, and gave four of them to share amongst him and his crew. Sloth next lead his army towards Sahkmet City, leaving a path of destruction behind them.

Hours Later, Brucey was torn when he saw what had happened to his friends. Capara hissed, and Fernypoo stumbled forwards looking sorry for herself. Brucey carefully picked up a rather indignant Capara and they all set off across the desert. To pass the time Brucey B tried telling jokes, although nobody seemed in the mood for laughing. When he joked about selling the one and only '''Red Haired Wadjet''' to Peopatra, he was quite firmly bitten on the nose. Fernypoo was unusually quiet and didn't complain about how dirty her dress, nails or hair were getting at all.

Crossing the last dune, the view took them by surprise. The the tents containing homes and [[Shop]]s were destroyed. Peopatra was desperately trying to round up a group of young Khonsu and the once brave Grarrl shopkeeper was trembling under his counter. Brucey managed to coax him out from his hiding place, and he kept muttering about the '''great staff''' and his destroyed shop, shaking all the way.

Fed up with his gibbering, Capara slapped him hard in the face with her tail. The Grarrl looked stunned for a few moments, then turned to Brucey and whispered, "You must get the staff...it could destroy us all...you must save us!"

===The Siege of Sakhmet===

The inhabitants of Sakhmet heard word of Dr. Sloth's coming and barricaded the front gate with countless items of furniture, even an [[Elephante]]. However, the army of Mutant Grundos merely fired through the wall next to the gate and invaded the city. All Neopets were gathered and turned into Mutants, one by one.

Inspired by the shopkeeper's plea, Brucey B sent out a plea for help all across Neopia, and set up a war tent for those who would help fight off the army. For three whole days, [[Neopian]]s around the world fought day and night against the horde, defeating them one by one, along with the reinforcments released each new day. Not liking the odds being evened against him, Dr. Sloth summoned the [[Rock Beast]], a monster which could reanimate itself even after being defeated.

After many defeats, the Rock Beast was finally put to rest by a [[Quiggle]], [[Shoyru]] and a [[Lupe]]. Before Dr. Sloth could create a new Rock Beast, Brucey B scaled Sloth's new tower and jumped him from behind, demanding the return of his Lucky Coin and pulling at the Staff in Sloth's hands. Infuriated that such a puny Neopet would bother him so, Dr. Sloth bellowed that he didn't have the Lucky Coin and threw Brucey off.

However, he accidentally let go of the Staff in the process and it broke in half against the wall. The enchantments upon Capara and Fernypoo were reverted, and the inhabitants of Sakhmet were likewise restored. Sloth escaped on a rocket ship which had comprised part of the tower, vowing vengenance upon Brucey.

Returning home from their adventure, Brucey B and company relaxed upon his couch (except for Capara, who still felt hurt from being a Wadjet). Both Fernypoo and Capara expressed loss at not finding Brucey's Lucky Coin. Brucey smiled and pulled the coin out in front of them.

==The War==

Players participated in the plot by fighting against Sloth's army in the [[Battledome]], collecting points for each specified opponent defeated. Player could face off against the challengers as many times as they wanted to. Opponents were...

Brucey B and the Lucky Coin

However, a long long way away and completely unknown to Brucey and the rest of the Neopia, [[Dr. Frank Sloth]] was watching, and began to laugh as he took notice of the lucky coin Brucey wore (specifically after seeing the "Z" or "N" symbol).

===Later That Night...===

That night, Brucey headed back his NeoHome and prepared himself for bed, knowing that tomorrow he would celebrate in style. Brucey noticed a letter lying on the floor. ''That's funny, who would write ME a letter?'' thought Brucey as he bent down to pick it up '''(though he fails to wonder how someone got inside his NeoHome)'''.

<blockquote>''Dear fellow Cheat! Player,'' 

''Congratulations on your performance in the recent Cheat! Championships, I am impressed. I am cordially inviting you to a private game, tomorrow on the 14th day of Relaxing. The minimum buy-in will be 100,000 Neopoints, and I am sure this will not pose a problem for you. Look forward to seeing you there!''

''R.S.''</blockquote>

Brucey could not resist the offer. It was a great chance for him to win '''EVEN MORE''' Neopoints, and with his lucky coin around his neck, how could he lose?

Running into the next tent, they found [[Peopatra]] selling many [[Petpet]]s, including [[Selket]]s, [[Wadjet]]s (Capara shrieked in fear from these as they followed her), [[Khonsu]], [[Geb]], [[Anubis]], [[Horus]], and [[Khnum]]s. Brucey shared his drawing of the Jetsam with her, and although she couldn't give him any information, she told him that he may find something in the city.

Later, after much searching, Brucey came upon an old [[Techo]] who mentioned that there were strangers at the '''Great Pyramid''' and offered his telescope for Brucey to use. Looking through it, Brucey not only sees the Jetsam with the horde of Mutant Grundos, but the Jetsam sees him too, and waves.

Over by the '''Great Pyramid''', Sloth fumed at his army, who had fired upon the pyramid with everything they had (even the '''megablaster5000'''), but still the stone walls remained untouched. Frustrated, Sloth threw the Lucky Coin at the entrance, accidently throwing it into the coin slot next to the door. The door opened, prompting Sloth to laugh and lead his army into the pyramid.

Not far away, Brucey B and company were hiding behind a sand dune overlooking the hundreds of Grundos and colourful tents surrounding the base of the pyramid. Having no better idea what to do, he decided they should wait until nightfall and sneak through the camp as the heroes in adventure books did. This plan annoyed both Capara and Fernypoo, but they followed through all the same, waiting till nightfall and sneaking into the Great Pyramid.

Deep within the Pyramid, Dr. Sloth and his minions forged their way through the maze-like tunnels until they came to a door with an engraving of the Lucky Coin to the side. Sloth placed the coin into the engraving and the door opened, revealing a great treasure behind it. While the mysterious Jetsam tried on the golden jewelery and danced upon the piles of gold, Sloth found the [[Staff of Alhasutek]], and laughed.

Hearing the laughter and heavy footsteps, Capara, Fernypoo and Brucey B awoke - they had fallen asleep not long after they had entered the Pyramid. Following the noise, they found not only the Jetsam but also Dr. Sloth, and immediately began to run away in fear. Sloth chased after them, turning Capara into a wadjet and Fernypoo into a gibbering Mutant. Brucey escaped from the Pyramid untouched and collapsed against the Pyramid.

As Sloth's army emptied the entire treasury onto the ship, the Jetsam came forward to Sloth and asked what was going to be shared with him, to which Sloth laughed, and threatened to give him another scar to pair the one given already. He then quickly reached into a large pile of gold coins, and gave four of them to share amongst him and his crew. Sloth next lead his army towards Sahkmet City, leaving a path of destruction behind them.

Hours Later, Brucey was torn when he saw what had happened to his friends. Capara hissed, and Fernypoo stumbled forwards looking sorry for herself. Brucey carefully picked up a rather indignant Capara and they all set off across the desert. To pass the time Brucey B tried telling jokes, although nobody seemed in the mood for laughing. When he joked about selling the one and only '''Red Haired Wadjet''' to Peopatra, he was quite firmly bitten on the nose. Fernypoo was unusually quiet and didn't complain about how dirty her dress, nails or hair were getting at all.

Crossing the last dune, the view took them by surprise. The the tents containing homes and [[Shop]]s were destroyed. Peopatra was desperately trying to round up a group of young Khonsu and the once brave Grarrl shopkeeper was trembling under his counter. Brucey managed to coax him out from his hiding place, and he kept muttering about the '''great staff''' and his destroyed shop, shaking all the way.

Fed up with his gibbering, Capara slapped him hard in the face with her tail. The Grarrl looked stunned for a few moments, then turned to Brucey and whispered, "You must get the staff...it could destroy us all...you must save us!"

===The Siege on Sakhmet===

The inhabitants of Sakhmet heard word of Dr. Sloth's coming, and barricaded the front gate with countless furniture, even an [[Elephante]]. However, the army of Mutant Grundos merely fired through the side of that wall next to the gate, and invaded the city. All Neopets were gathered and turned into Mutants, one by one.

Inspired by the shopkeepers plea, Brucey B sent out a plea for help all across Neopia, and set up a war tent for those who would help fight off the army. For three whole days, [[Neopian]]s around the world fought day and night against the horde, defeating them one by one, along with the reinforcments released each new day. Not liking the odds being evened against him, Dr. Sloth summoned the [[Rock Beast]], a monster which could reanimate itself even after being defeated.

After many defeats, the Rock Beast was finally put to rest by a [[Quiggle]], [[Shoyru]] and a [[Lupe]]. Before Dr. Sloth could create a new Rock Beast, Brucey B scaled the tower Sloth was in and jumped him from behind, asking for his Lucky Coin back, pulling at the Staff in Sloth's hands. Infuriated that such a puny Neopet would bother him so, he cried out he didn't have the Lucky Coin, and threw Brucey off.

However, he accidently let go of the Staff in the process, which broke in half against the wall. The enchantments upon Capara and Fernypoo were reverted, and Sloth escaped through a rocket ship (which was part of the tower), vowing vengenance upon Brucey.

Returning home from their adventure, Brucey B and company relaxed upon his couch (except for Capara, who still felt hurt from being a Wadjet). Both Fernypoo and Capara expressed loss at not finding Brucey's Lucky Coin, and smiled, and pulled the coin out in front of them.
