The Discovery of Maraqua

Unknown what happened, what the official title was, and what were the rewards of this plot. Need confirmation on any and all details.

This plot (one of the very first) entailed the discovery of the Battledome and the kidnapping of Professor Chesterpot who discovered Maraqua. The Water Faerie was also involved in this plot, and provided the first Battledome weapon, the Coral Orb.

MechaChiazilla and Chiazilla

The plot involved a battle between MechaChiazilla and Chiazilla. MechaChiazilla was a robotic warrior designed to counter Maraqua's legendary protector, Chiazilla. It was never officially revealed who had created the robot, much as the identity of the person who ordered The Tyrannian Invasion. If it was orchestrated by a third party, it remains unknown, but it is suspected that it was Dr. Sloth.
