The Fuzzle and the Punchbag

by chimesjon

Since it was the weekend, Zack was able to go to the Battledome and check it out. It may be strange, somehow, Zack was a level 5 without doing anything at all. He had never been to the Battledome before, and wanted to give it a try.

While on his way to the arena, he ran into a strange, tan figure. It was Punchbag Bob. Zack looked at him strangely, and tried to open his mouth.

"Oh not now please. No one is going to hurt ME in a break time," said Bob.

"I'm not going to, I don't even want to."

"Well, you should....What did you say?" asked the Punchbag.

"I said I don't want to hurt you," replied Zack.

"Wow! That's one of the things I don't hear every day, I'm Bob."

"I'm Zack," replied Zack, shaking Bob's hand.

Soon, Punchbag Bob had to go to the arena again, but Zack never knew he was THE Punchbag Bob, who was suffering everyday by the attacks of pets everywhere.

Zack decided to leave since it was going to be dark soon. He had just watched Grarrg battling a mutant Techo. It was a draw. Zack was very amazed. He could never imagine that a normal pet could possibly challenge such a powerful warrior.

He went to bed back in the Neopian Pound, and fell fast asleep. The next morning, he saw more and more battles. He kept getting excited that he wanted to go to battle himself.

When he got ready for battle, he challenged his opponent. Before he attacked, he realized that his opponent was Bob!

"Bob, what are you doing here?" asked the surprised Jubjub.

"I am Punchbag Bob, and I know that you lied. You said you never wanted to hurt me!" growled Bob.

"I....I...I won't," answered Zack. He could never hurt a friend, especially one who suffered over 5,000 defeats.

That was the last time he talked to Bob. It was very painful to lose a friend. Then a week after that, he decided to visit the Battledome again. He walked past many famous opponents such as Grarrg, Edna, and the Tiki Tack Man.

Then he saw Bob being bullied by a mean, fire Skeith. Zack was scared at first, but he felt so mad for Bob that he called the Skeith.

"Hey, leave my friend alone. Anyway, he's on a break; you aren't supposed to battle him until he's done," said Zack.

"Oh yeah, what are you gonna do about it, you overgrown Juppie," sniggered the Skeith, who was insulting Zack's pumpkin shaped body from the Rainbow Pool.

"I'm gonna take you down," growled Zack in a angry tantrum. They soon got ready for battle. Zack was equipped with loads of stuff which he collected.

The match commenced. The Skeith let out a loud roar, and charged at Zack. It hit the Jubjub full force, knocking him down. Zack got up angrily, still in the tantrum. He charged at the Skeith and jumped over him.

"Shoes of Flight!" cried Zack. Then a light carried him away from the Skeith's huge jaws and struck him with his Crazy Hammer (Striped).

The Skeith shook his head from the bash and tackled Zack again. The mad Jubjub threw a Stone Snowball at him, hit him with a Ultra Bubble Beam, but was tackled again.

"That's it!!! You asked for it!" bellowed Zack. "ULTRA RAINBOW FLASH!"

All of a sudden, many beams of coloured light shot out of Zack, and blasted the Skeith, and knocked him out. After the battle, Bob came up to him.

"Thanks Zack."
