The '''Hunt for the Battledome''' is the second plot released on Neopets. This plot was one of only three in Neopets history to have no user involvement (the others being the original [[Curse on Maraqua]] plot and the [[Green Jelly]] plot). The plot was launched on October 2nd, 2000 and lasted until the 13th. Amongst other things, this plot introduced the original version of [[Old Maraqua|Maraqua]], and the [[Battledome]]. All pages regarding this plot have now been removed from the site.

The story began with three pets discovering a brochure for a long lost location known as the Battledome in their attic. The three pets were [[Sarkis]], [[Ursulla]], and [[Buckley]] (a pet based on one owned by [[TNT]] member [[Donna]]).


The three pets later heard a report from a [[Neopet]] named [[Benjamin]] on [[Mystery Island]] who claimed to know something about the Battledome, and that it may have been in possession of a Neopet known as [[Professor Chesterpot]]. The trio set off in a boat to Mystery Island, but on the way they were capsized by the monster known as [[Chiazilla]].
The Battledome would finally open its doors to the public on 11 January 2001, after extensive testing. The battle between [[Chiazilla]] and [[MechaChiazilla]] became a two-player [[Wikipedia:Adobe Flash|Flash]] [[game]] which has since been removed.

Rather than drowning, the three pets discovered the underwater city of Maraqua, and along with it Professor Chesterpot. The Professor did indeed possess the Battledome, though it was a secret that even [[King Koi]] did not know. Unfortunately for everyone involved, [[Dr. Sloth]] learned of the Battledome, and kidnapped Professor Chesterpot in order to claim the Battledome for himself. A water faerie (possibly [[Nereid]]) arrived in Maraqua to warn [[King Koi]] about the danger of the Battledome and request that he help recover the Professor. Seeking to stop them, Dr. Sloth unleashed his newest creation, a robot named [[Mechachiazilla]], on the city.


The unexpected occurred when the real Chiazilla turned up to defend the city from his metal counterpart.

Story[edit]

From left, Sarkis, Buckley, and Ursualla set out on an adventure.

The plot began when three Neopets, best friends Buckley, Sarkis, and Ursualla, discovered an old brochure in their attic for the Battledome. In order to find out more, they travelled to the Neopian Library, and then set off for Mystery Island in search of Professor Chesterpot, Neopia's leading expert on the Battledome.

At the same time on Mystery Island, a Chia called Benjamin discovered the abandoned Island arena, and the next day on the Space Station, some Grundos discovered the Space Arena.

The Water Faerie's orb proved the Battledome existed.

The three adventurers' hunt for Professor Chesterpot was cut short, however, when they were attacked by Chiazilla. They woke up in the underwater city of Maraqua. Although the Professor had been there, he had been kidnapped, and all the trio found was his walking stick and a note.

The king of Maraqua, King Koi, did not want to rescue Chesterpot as he did not believe in the Battledome. The Water Faerie arrived with her magical orb that proved it existed, and the next day, MechaChiazilla began his attack on the city. Chiazilla returned to defeat the robot, and the kidnapped Professor was saved. Finally, the secrets of the Battledome would be known to all.

Behind the scenes[edit]

MechaChiazilla tried to stop the secret of the Battledome ever being discovered.
