Stark came back up with a piece of paper, looking with a raised eyebrow at Anatoly. "Uhhh..."
He handed the paper to Bitong, who read it and smiled. "See, every month, some people think it's funny to make a list of who has the most desirable Mystickers, so that the people get challenged. You're not allowed to refuse a challenge, by the way."
He read the paper over. "Oh...oh my." He smiled.

"Wait, wait, let me guess - everyone wants Skulltap?" Anatoly groaned, getting up.

"How'd you guess?" Bitong said with a small smile as he passed the paper over. "Not sure how word got out, but...good luck. Everyone's wanted to get their hands on that Sticker for years."
Anatoly looked and, sure enough, his name was on the list, next to the underlined SKULLTAP. He saw other names he recognized as well, along with a shmorgasborg of unknown names.
Stark - Knight, Zeus
Anatoly - SKULLTAP
Xavier - D-Gate
Wilde - Beast, Joy Buzzer
Farley - Amplify
Rufus - Gaia, Regen
Kitt - Toolbox
Ray - Blackout
Carlton - Aegis
It was unclear if they were organized by order of importance or not.

Anatoly prayed they weren't. "What do each of those do?" Anatoly asked. "Namely, Joy Buzzer, Beast, and Aegis?"

"Ahh, those three?" Stark cut in. "I figured you'd like those.
"Beast is one of my favorites. I don't want to ruin the surprise, so I won't tell you the details, but essentially, if you tried to fight Beast without any defensive Mystickers, you'd get torn apart in a matter of seconds.
"Speaking of defensive, Aegis is near the top in that field. Perhaps you've heard the leged of the Shield of Aegis? No? Look it up, it's just like that.
"What was the last one? Joy Buzzer? Joy Buzzer is a joke," Stark said disdainfully. "It's a juiced-up Electric Mysticker, somewhere between Level 1 and Level 2. Small enough to be hidden on the hand. It can deliver a real kick, but that's all."

"Hmm. Joy Buzzer didn't sound very threatening...." Anatoly paused. "What about Blackout, Toolbox, and Amplify? And D-Gate, for that matter?"

"Don't ever get hit by Blackout," Bitong said.
Almost at the same time, Stark said, "What do you think Amplify does, genius?"
They looked at each other and Stark flicked a finger at Bitong. He nodded nad continued.
"Toolbox is a Mysticker that can generate mechanical advantages," Bitong said. "It requires one highly versed in physics, since it mostly deals with the theory and less with actual, material things. It's an incredibly mysterious Mysticker."
"D-Gate," Stark said, throwing a small piece of paper to Anatoly.
((First page for D-Gate.))

"Amplify could boost personal strength, or other Mystickers," Anatoly pointed out. "But Toolbox... now that, I like. Who's Kitt?"

"Amplify does Stickers," Stark said.
"You can't fight Kitt," Bitong said right after.

Bitong shrugged, slightly embarassed. "She's just a little girl. Younger than us."

"I'm not that young," Anatoly pointed out. "How old is she?"

"11," Stark said with a satisfied smirk. "11, and a member of Blazer Black. Bitong feels it is his duty to protect her, Lord knows why."
He turned to Anatoly. "Challenge her if you will. She may be young, but she's a member of our organization and not challenging her just because of her age would be insulting to her."

"She'd probably end up challenging me for Skulltap if I left it alone, anyway. I'm challenging her," Anatoly declared. "Let's hope she decides against killing me if she wins. I'll be back in a moment, I'm grabbing my letter opener."
Minutes later, he was back, having stretched and warmed up, wearing a muscle s**t and jeans, the Letter Opened of Doom in his hand, Skulltap on his cheek and his Ice 1 on his arm.

Stark laughed. "Very well, your challenge has been issued. Bitong?"
Bitong stepped forward and plucked the LOoD from his hand. "No weapons, other than Mystickers," he said.
Stark went to the intercom. "Anatoly Yang of Blazer Black, Lead Division, has challenged Kitt of Blazer Black, Mechanics Division. Contestants, please make your way to Training Room 2."
Stark turned to Anatoly with a smile. "See you there." He and Bitong left.
