Editing Hunt for the Battledome

[[Image:Mechachiazilla.gif|frame|right|Mechachiazilla tried to stop the secret of the Battledome ever being discovered.]]

The '''Hunt for the Battledome''' was an early [[plot]] that entailed the discovery of the [[Battledome]] and [[Maraqua]]. It began on 2 October 2000 and concluded on 13 October. Since this plot occurred, all pages and images associated with it have been removed, making the details of its story uncertain. 

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 flash [[game]] which has since been removed. 

Although they could follow along to the story, players could not participate in this plot and no prizes were awarded. 

==Summary==
[[Image:Hftb chesterpot.gif|frame|left|Professor Chesterpot lead the hunt for the Battledome.]]
The plot began when three [[Neopet]]s best friends [[Sarkis]], [[Ursualla]], and [[Buckley]] 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]].

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 [[Grundo]]s discovered the Space Arena. 

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 gone missing, and all the trio found was his walking stick and a note.

The king, who did not believe in the Battledome, did not want to rescue Chesterpot. Though the [[Water Faerie]] arrived with proof, 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.

==Trivia==
*One of the characters, Buckley, was inspired by the [[Neopet]] owned by [[TNT]] member [[Donna]].
*Chiazilla and Mechachizilla are based on the [[wikipedia:Kaiju|Kaiju]] cinema characters [[wikipedia:Godzilla|Godzilla]] and [[wikipedia:Mechagodzilla|Mechagodzilla]].
