Story[edit]
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 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]
- One of the characters, Buckley, was inspired by the Neopet owned by website's co-founder Donna.
- Chiazilla and MechaChiazilla are based on the Kaiju cinema characters Godzilla and Mechagodzilla.
