With the first three rounds over, the four teams took a moment to rest and assess their current statistics. "So far so good," commented Thomas. "Despite the fighting we've only managed to get stronger. At this rate this final battle will be a piece of cake."

"Maybe we'll get to fight a cake next," joked Drag. "My kind of enemy."

"Oh, now now," chuckled the Jester. "Only I make jokes around here and you can't have dessert without eating the main course."

"What are you going on about now?" asked Tagmer to the Jester. Without being able to hear the words from the other teams context was lost.

"Oh, just that the fights thus far have been mere appetizers," he explained. "It was meant to be nothing more that a warm up to let you get the hang of things, but now you will be facing dangers far worse and powerful. Deadly bosses will be coming up too and I doubt if the skills you've display thus far will guarentee victory."

"That has yet to be decided!" aruged Sergal. "Our strength has grown more than you realize. Before long even you won't stand a chance."

"Don't forget what happened with the Titan," reminded Teddy.

"Let's try not to piss the Jester off before we've got our full strength to back it up," added Ralis.

"There will be more creatures like Titans," chuckled the Jester. "But they will be common compared to the beasts I have in store."

"Bring it on!" delcared Luke. "My team is more than ready."

"Zzzz," snored Killajor taking a nap.

"997. 998. 999. 1000!" cheered Snow to his precious Yoshi. "There you go. 1000 belly rubs. I love you so much my Yoshi."

"Yoshi!"

"Uh, see!" replied Luke not as confident as before. "My team is so ready they don't even have to take this serious."

"If you say so," said the Jester. "Finish up catching your breath. Even my moogle puppet is starting to fail to keep me amused. Maybe I'll set it on fire next."

"What?!?" cried Glenn.
