Lez Rock Ett, Mai! [Event]

"I know!" Mai exclaimed to the little tree sprite as they played catch with a rock it had retrieved. "Miss Luna's always working on things, but at least she got me you to play with! Miss Luna's the best, isn't she?"

"Yahaha!" the sprite cheerily yipped.

Mai placed her hands on her face, enjoying the presence of the helping hand that Luna had gotten to help watch over Mai. She was fully unaware when Chio laughed again, and Mai heard the familiar voice of her enemy, Imai. He mentioned something about some evil group or whatever, but Mai was too angry to listen to him until he mentioned some details. "Whaaaaat? These meanies are going after Miss Luna, and they're going to forbid food forever! We have to stop them!" Mai scrambled out of her seat and rushed to her room for a moment, gathering two of her many bags of candies, stringing them along her waist as she rushed back out. "Lead the way, dumdum!" Mai barked, popping one of her candies in. "I need to make sure that these meanies don't get their way with everything! I need to show them the error of their ways and beat them up! Wait, but that would mean giving them my candy!" She gasped. "I don't wanna give them my candies!" Imai reassured her, and off Mai went, her and her new guardian tree sprite dashing off with the Sabertooth Ace towards the capital of Fiore.

The noises and lights in Crocus certainly excited Mai, who was distracted enough by it to not realize the utter tragedy of her already having completely eaten one of her bags of candies. Every so often, a partygoer would toss some sort of foodstuff at her or Imai, which Mai would promptly eat, still too distracted by the bright lights and loud noises to really comprehend the situation or the taste. Though Mai had little in terms of partying attire, what she wore was enough to get her in the mood for partying.
"I can hear you, dumdum Imai!" Mai chirped back as she was beneath his arm, being held like a sack of rocks. "Okay, let's go look for those meanies and bash crash pow them! They're trying to ban food and be mean to Miss Luna, and we can't let that happen!"

Not really paying attention to where they were going, Mai soon found herself hearing the rhythmic beat of drums around her. She looked up to see Imai arguing with a bunch of other stupid humans about something. Then, Imai told Mai to play the drums. "I can play drums really well!" she said happily. "Papa told me, and now Chio helps me sometimes, too!"

"Yahaha!" Chio laughed before disappearing in a puff of smoke once more.

Imai set Mai down, and she wandered over to the drums. They were really weirdly colored, and when Mai hit one with her hand, the paint hopped into the air! Mai recoiled for a moment, shocked by the unexpected attack of paint, until she realized how fun it looked. "Yay! The paint is really bouncy!" Mai haphazardly began slapping the top of the drums,  paint flying every which way. A lot landed on her, painting her clothes in vibrant colors and some getting into her mouth. "This paint is yummy~~" she purred as she continued slapping the top of the drums. Her beats intensified, splashing paint high into the air, landing into her own hair at this point, before one hand punched through the drum entirely. "It broke..." Mai said, sadness evidently in her voice. "I bet this is your fault, Imai!" She pouted, getting even more paint spread around as she pouted and crossed her arms. One of the nearby people apologized for the drum breaking, before offering to put a stamp down, which Mai adamantly insisted be placed upon her forehead, which they obliged to. Mai, still pouting, went back over to Imai. "I still don't see those meanies anywhere. But that was fun!"

After the stamp upon her forehead and heading over to Imai, the meanie went off somewhere without Mai! She knew Imai was not to be trusted! He was ready to abandon her in the middle of Crocus, all by herself! Mai knew it. This was Imai's plan all along. He would bring her to Crocus, away from Miss Luna, and do devious, devilish things to her! Heck, he might have been the one looking to steal all the food and candies in the world! Imai must have lied about all of it! That was the only explanation! Guided by Chio, Mai continued wandering the streets, looking out for these alleged meanies that Imai talked about that were going after Miss Luna or looking for the creme de la creme of meanies, Imai himself.

Rather than find anything of the sort, Mai found herself in what looked to be a combat arena. People surrounded her on all sides as a ring opened up, a single person standing in the middle of the circle. Bright green neon lights lined his black gear, head to toe, with a pair of really weird goggles on.

"YOU ARE MY OPPONENT?" the weird robot man asked, tilting his head slightly.

"Are we fighting?" Mai asked, tilted her own head as well.

"YES. WE ARE PARTAKING IN A FIGHT. A DANCE FIGHT. SHOW ME YOUR BEST MOVES, LITTLE CHILD."

"Dance?" Mai asked. She recalled the word, but it had not quite- "Oh! I know dancing! Dancing is fun!"

The robot man mechanically nodded his head as loud music began to ring out. He quickly began a series of stiff movements, looking as if he were a robot, in time with the music fully. Mai was not really paying attention to him, she was just enjoying the music as well. To say her moves were good would be entirely wrong. She found herself mostly stomping around and spinning, until a great idea came to mind. She lifted her arms into the air and began to wiggle. This seemed to gain a pop from the crowd, which caused the young God Slayer to smile. They liked her dancing! Mai opened her eyes to see all these dumb humans giving her the respect she as a God and God Slayer deserved, seeing Chio's weird spinning on his hand nub thingies. The robot man looked confused by everything, and soon seemed to freak out and retreat into the crowd, a cheer coming from the surrounding people. A girl with some really fancy jewelry came by and congratulated Mai and Chio, offering a stamp. Once more, Mai insisted that she get stamped upon the forehead, and off she went to look for that meanie Imai once more.

A ringing noise ran into Mai's ears, the voice behind it strangely familiar. Oh well, it was probably nothing important. Probably Imai being a weirdo, and Mai was glad to be away from him. She wandered about even still, making her way through crowds of people and looking for that jerk. After all, he abandoned her! First he tries to bring Mai out somewhere alone, then he tries to steal all the food in the world, then he just abandons Mai before she can beat him up! That fiend! That meanie! That butthead!

Mai gasped at the thought. Miss Luna did not want her to say such vulgar things as "butt." Miss Luna was not reading her mind right now? What if Miss Luna was disappointed in her for thinking such a rude thing! Oh no! Mai felt tears begin to well up in her eyes as she listened around for the familiar mean voice of Imai. Sure enough, she heard the faintest cry of the meanie face, saying her name. Or maybe he was just saying his own? No! He must have been yelling her name because he was so repentant that he abandoned her! He was finally recognizing the awesomeness that was Mai and finally calling for her so that he could be sacrificed! A warm, happy feeling flushed across her face.

As she made her way towards the sound of Imai's voice, she found herself upon a stage, behind a table, and running into the legs of a tights - clad woman. She looked over towards the little God Slayer and smiled. "Hey kiddo, want to DJ?"

Mai tilted her head in confusion. DJ? What could that mean? Doom Jumper? Dinosaur Jail? Dusty Jalapenos? Delicious Jelly? Mai liked the sound of that last one. Delicious Jelly, all for Mai and none for Imai. She reveled in this possibility. There was a last bastion of hope, a final frontier of food away from the evilness that was Imai! All this Delicious Jelly on top of the table!

"Yay! DJ!" Mai chirped, confident she knew what it meant.

The woman smiled and picked Mai up by her armpits. "Alright, let's have you rock it! Just play around with these buttons and dials and maybe even the disks! I'm sure you'll do great!"

Mai's eyes sparkled with joy. She got to play around! As she was told, she began wildly pushing buttons and revving dials, creating a cacophony of loud noises that seemed to excite the people. All the buttons made fun sounds when they were pressed, and all of them were really glowy! Mai was having so much fun! But wait, where was the Delicious Jelly? She was promised Delicious Jelly! She looked around, her hands absently pressing more buttons and playing with dials, when she saw it: the grand prize of them all! At the far right end of the table, surrounded by more flashy buttons and sliders! It looked magnificent! It looked brilliant!

A giant burnt pancake! With strawberries in the middle! It certainly had a weird complexion for a pancake, but it was a pancake, that was it for certain! And that red stuff in the middle, near where the pokey thing poked through, that had to be the Delicious Jelly! Breaking away from her button pressing and dial wibbling, she leaned over to the pancake and removed it from the pokey thingy. The woman tried saying something, but this was a really weird pancake. It was really flat, and had a bunch of weird bumpy things on it, and the Delicious Jelly was baked inside of the pancake! She would not be able to eat the entire roundness in one bite, but that did not stop the wild child from trying, opening her mouth as wide as she could and trying to eat the strange pancake.

The woman stole her pancake, though! How rude! She said something about that not being food or something, but Mai was too angry to really hear her. However, her mood was quickly quenched by another stamp being placed on her forehead and the woman holding her up once more, allowing Mai to play with the buttons and dials. Chio, meanwhile, put his little stubby thingies on the weird pancakes and they made a weird wobbly noise thingy. All of these buttons and dials and pancakes were fun, and Mai was content in staying away from Imai in this bastion of pancakes and Delicious Jelly. She looked around even still for Imai, seeing if she could find the meanie extraordinaire and bask in her ability to find food, even away from his evil clutches! Perhaps she could get rewarded with the strange burnt pancake if she saved this party from Imai! All these possibilities seemed so endless, and Mai was excited for it. Her eyes were closed as a peaceful, blissful look washed across her face, dreaming of a world where she finally has beaten of Imai, the world recognizing her for her heroism! Miss Luna and Candy Lady and Itori would be there, and they would all be so proud of Mai! Miss Luna would give Mai a hug and promise to get ice cream, Candy Lady would gift Mai a mountain of sweets and Itori would apologize for doubting Mai and then let Mai keep one of her tails! It was a perfect, flawless plan! A dream that certainly would come true! All Mai needed to do was to wait for Imai to show himself finally, and she could expose him for the evil being that he truly was.
