	♪ Down, Down, Down
	Kisume enters
	Kisume defeated
Marisa	#0@34Alright, alright, solve this, solve dat. Hmm... *sniff sniff* Spider droppings? Down 'ere?
	#0@42??? (...lright, modulate the bursts, invert the mainframe network... KA-CHINK!)
Marisa	#0@50Hmm... I'm hearin' sounds... or is it my imagination?
	#0@58Ni (..LREADY TOLD YOU MOM, I CAN'T TAKE OUT THE GARBAGE! I'VE GOT WORK TO DO AND.... oh crud, this thing is on?)
Marisa	#0@66Ack? Who the heck is shoutin' like dis? Brrr... What in tarnation is goin' on?
	Yamame Kurodani enters
???	#0@74Hey there! Miss casual clothes! What's going on with what ruckus?
???	#0@146Weird that's only you, but still, I've heard two people speak, so explain!
	#0@154Ni (Hmm... according to my matrix gogz, that must be a spider woman.)
Marisa	#0@162How come... first I'm hearin' voices, then ya appear, and then someone called ya a spider woman? What's goin' on?
	<Boss title>
Yamame	#0@170Oh, you're ignoring me? A spider woman? And I was right!
Yamame	#0@178Those were the two voices. Your voice, and the one that came from your ear!
Yamame	#0@186May as well trap you in my mutant web that I created through chemical components!
	#0@194Ni (Yes! I'm 100% sure! That's a spider woman! I need to do more research on you!)
Yamame	#0@202Then come and get me!
	#0@210Ni (And with my special overlay ice network, I'll be freezing you!)
Marisa	#0@218Wait just a darn moment... Nitro?
	♪ Spider Woman
	Yamame Kurodani defeated
Marisa	#1@30Sheesh, Nitro... thanks for dat unneeded battle. Now explain yerself, how are you speakin' 'ere?
	#1@38Ni (Well, it's thanks to that transfer stream gadget I've received from the mayor.)
Marisa	#1@46Hmm... okay? Ya maybe want to explain it with english next time? Ah need to move on.

	♪ Abandonded Railroad Crossing
	Parsee Mizuhashi enters
	Parsee Mizuhashi defeated
Marisa	#0@34Dis old railway is goin' for way too lon'. How much until we make it to the water heatin' plant?
	#0@42Ni (......)
Marisa	#0@50Nitro? Are you still there?
	#0@58Ni (ACK! Sorry, Melissa! My mom forced me to take the garbage! Also, not too much, we need to get past Ex-Washington DC.)
Marisa	#0@66Ex-Washington DC? And who's dis person? Is dat one in yer database, smarty pants?
	♪ Green-Eyed Railroad Girl
	Parsee Mizuhashi enters
???	#0@74*donngg* Attention, passengers. We're in the Underground Terminal Station.
???	#0@146Next destination: Ex-Washington DC. If you're stopping here, don't leave your valuables behind.
Marisa	#0@154How curious. Excuse me, Ah need to go to Ex-Washington DC.
	<Boss title>
Parsee	#0@162Hmm... you're a human, don't you? If I were you, I would go back where you came from.
Parsee	#0@170Our next stop is way too dangerous for normal humans to stay. Even with this, are you sure?
	#0@178Ni (Let's see... according with my matrix gogz, she's another mutant resident from the underground.)
	#0@186Ni (And if the shifting protocol analysis is right, I'm pretty certain she can control jealousy at will.)
Marisa	#0@194Okie-dokie, but... first of all, how in tarnation can ya make dose goggles work at distance?
Marisa	#0@202And second, can ya please lower yer technical babblin' a bit? Ah don't get most of it.
	#0@210Ni (About the latter, I won't make any promises, and about the former, my Digital Neuro-Matrix Goggles can work from any distance.)
Parsee	#0@218Oh, dear... seeing you talking about technology makes me very jealous. I'd like to have one of those!
Parsee	#0@226If that's how things are... Lemme give you a privilege check-up!
	Parsee Mizuhashi defeated
Marisa	#1@30Alright, all privileges have bin checked. Everythin' is in order.
	#1@38Ni (Next stop: Ex-Washington DC. A place full of mutants and rejects.)
Marisa	#1@46Hmm... smarty pants, what do ya know about dat place?
	#1@54Ni (Uhh... according to this burst access analysis, it's a city with a high exposure to radioactive disturbances.)
	#1@62Ni (It can turn normal humans into mutants if you stay way too...)
Marisa	#1@70Geez, all dis techno babble doesn't make me look any further than dat. Good grief!

	♪ Ex-Washington DC
	Yuugi Hoshiguma enters
???	#2@30Wonderful! KNOCKED OUT OF THE RING!
???	#2@38But she's NOT done YET! She's BACK with a SURPRISING SECRET MOVE!
	Yuugi Hoshiguma pauses
???	#3@30*DINGDING!* WOW! THIS IS NOT OVER YET! TIME FOR A LITTLE BREAK, FOLKS!
???	#3@38And when we're back with commercials, we'll show the exciting result from this match of the century!
	#3@46Ni (Huh... Why do I have the feeling I've heard her voice before?)

Boss battle

Marisa	#0@34What's goin' on, Nitro? Why are ye so silent all of a sudden?
	#0@42Ni (......)
???	#0@50C'mon, guys! Don't be so shy! Look at the crowd! They adore you!
	#0@58Ni (According to my matrix gogz... Oh, no... she can't be...)
Marisa	#0@66Huh? Do ya know her?
	#0@74Ni (S-She's a very powerful ogre, the heavyweight champion of M-M-Monster Mesa. AND HER NAME IS...)
	<Boss title>
Yuugi	#0@82...COURAGE STARSTRONG! Hey! Thanks for the rollcall.
	#0@90Ni (N-No problem there, here keeping up with technology and calibrating the modulators.)
	#0@98Ni (But I have a better question... why you, one of the four Monster Mesa champions would be here?)
Marisa	#0@106Speaking of which, Ah recall dat girl Sophie bein' one of dem, but which is the deal with her?
	#0@114Ni (She could be considered, like, the strongest ogre of Monster Mesa, alongside Sophie and the other two.)
Yuugi	#0@122Since I've become one of the champions, we've been keeping an eye of the Underground.
Yuugi	#0@130That all happened a long time ago... Like in the 80's or so.
	#0@138Ni (Uhh... t-that's right! I don't f-f-fear you, Miss Ogre! I'll take care of you with...)
Marisa	#0@146Woah, Nitro, what's up with ye right now? Anyway, back to business.
Marisa	#0@154Hey, miss... What do ya know exactly 'bout the hot water mess?
Yuugi	#0@162Uhh... I would suggest going to the Underground Walmart, that's right above Ex-Detroit.
Marisa	#0@170Ex-Detroit, eh? We'll worry about dat later. Isn't the commercial break over yet?
	♪ The Wrestling Ring
Yuugi	#0@178Thanks for reminding me! DINGDING!* AND THE MATCH CONTINUES!
	Yuugi Hoshiguma defeated
Yuugi	#1@30EIGHT! NINE! TEEEEEEEN! *DINGDINGDING* K-O! THE CHALLENGER IS OUR NEW CHAMPION!
Yuugi	#1@38CONGRATS TO OUR NEW WINNER! WILL SHE BEAT THE WALMART MUTANTS? FIND OUT NEXT WEEK!
	#1@46Ni (Y-Yay! We beat the bad ogre! N-Now they won't bully me anymore!)
Marisa	#1@54N-Nitro? Are ye 'kay? We need to go to the Undergroun' Walmart, remember?
	#1@62Ni (Y-Yes, I-It's just... I still remember bad things about the ogres when they were ruling over Monster Mesa.)
Marisa	#1@70Fair 'nuff. In any case, we need to make it to the water heatin' plant.
Marisa	#1@78If we can fix dis problem for yer water park, you can keep it runnin' as much as ye can.
Yuugi	#1@86Water park, you said? So I wasn't crazy after all.
Yuugi	#1@94Excuse me, the one in that jewel. Aren't you one of those water goblins?
	#1@102Ni (W-What?)
Yuugi	#1@110I've heard what happened with the water park. After it gets fixed, do you think I can go there?
	#1@118Ni (Y-Yes, of course. We'll fix it just for you!)
Yuugi	#1@126And don't worry, we won't rule over Monster Mesa again. I'll just go for a visit. I'll come with Lil' Milk Tippler as well.
	#1@134Ni (Y-Yeah, and we'll go and prepare the best milk... Wait a moment... the 80's?)
	#1@142Ni (I'm pretty sure that wasn't a long time ago! Why didn't I notice that? Silly me.)

	♪ Underground Walmart
	Cat enters
	Cat defeated
Marisa	#0@34Alright, it seems we made it to the Underground Walmart.
	#0@42Ni (How odd... we only saw a stray cat and everything else is cleared out.)
	#0@50Ni (But if there's a cat, according to my filtered search, the owner should be nearby with a chance of 50%.)
Marisa	#0@58I'll take dis chance to ask ya something. The Water Park is workin', but why do ye need hot water?
	#0@66Ni (Look, if we don't have hot water, we can't have Elderly Wednesday.)
	#0@74Ni (And without that, we'll lose a ton of customers, if my frequency analysis is correct.)
Marisa	#0@82But almost everyone who goes dere are kids! Nitro, are ya sure yer analysis is reliable?
	Satori Komeiji enters
???	#0@90...oh, a customer? My, my... I haven't received customers in a while.
???	#0@158...I see, did my cat attack you by mere chance?
Marisa	#0@166Oh, crud... it's the cat's owner. Maybe I should ask 'er somethin'.
	#0@174Ni (It won't be needed. If my matrix gogz are right, you have a mindreader in front of you.)
Marisa	#0@182A mindreader? Like... one of dose kind of people who can read minds, rite?
???	#0@190Your friend there is right. I know exactly what customers want.
???	#0@198BBQ Tea? Sorry, but we already sold the last package of that already.
Marisa	#0@206What? Ah certainly don't want dat.
???	#0@214Hmmm... Bull-ogre Meat? We still have one, but the expiration date is from a year ago.
	#0@222Ni (O-kay?)
Marisa	#0@230...... Who in tarnation are ye?
	<Boss title>
	♪ Check-Out Aisle
Satori	#0@238Oh, excuse my manners, I haven't even introduced myself. I'm Mandy, last clerk of the Underground Walmart.
Satori	#0@246My business has been one of the most successful in the underground because I can read minds, Ms. Melissa.
Marisa	#0@254Hey! Ah haven't even told ya why we're 'ere!
	#0@262Ni (See? She can read minds, and according to my temporal polarity analysis, you should be brief.)
Marisa	#0@270Brief, eh? Alright. Ahem... We're looking to go to the...
Satori	#0@278...water heating plant? Did my pets played with the machinery again?
Satori	#0@286And before you ask, no, my pets aren't on sale.
Satori	#0@294And also, no, you can't talk with them right now.
Marisa	#0@302Oh, dear... She already knows...
Marisa	#0@310How in the heck will we get more information 'bout the villainy?
	#0@318Ni (If my weak string transfer analysis is correct, maybe you should do a colorblazing duel.)
Marisa	#0@326S-Sure, if ya say so...
Satori	#0@334Okay, to reiterate my point further, I won't allow you to talk with my pets.
Satori	#0@342I can't trust you with those kind of feelings. You're not even sure of what you want to.
Satori	#0@350On the other hand, I was also known to be a fierce rampant customer remover.
Satori	#0@358So I will ask you this... GET OUT OF MY STORE, IMMEDIATELY!
	Satori Komeiji pauses
Satori	#2@30SPECIAL OFFER! FREE SAMPLE!
Satori	#2@38Nitro-styled Colorblazing, just $9.99! Don't miss your chance, ladies and gentlemen!
	Satori Komeiji defeated
Satori	#1@30Geez... I should have put the sign of "Sorry, we're closed". What a bother...
	#1@38Ni (Hey! Why were you using my compressed protocol patterns?)
Marisa	#1@46That's kind of strange. Ah also recognized those patterns, albeit they were a bit different.
Satori	#1@54That's why I told you it was a limited offer. Now, about the cat business...
Satori	#1@62Hmm... let's see... outside of the store, there's a hole that will lead you to the industrial part.
Marisa	#1@70Alright. Nitro, now, tell me somethin'. Why do ye really want hot water?
	#1@78Ni (......)
Marisa	#1@86I'm pretty sure ya haven't tol' me all yer story. What do ya really... huh?
	#1@94Ni (...MOM, I'M BUSY! CAN YOU LEAVE ME ALONE? S-S-Sorry, Melissa! My mom was needing me. Where were I?)
Marisa	#1@102I was asking about, what do you really want from the water heating plant?
Satori	#1@110"I need that certain something for my business!" Tell to that water goblin to be careful.
Marisa	#1@118A certain something, eh? Alrighty then! Time to go through that hole!

	♪ The Road to the Villainy
	Cat enters
	Cat defeated
Marisa	#0@34Ugh... so much heat in dis place! Maybe I shoul' have come with light clothes.
	#0@42Ni (Oh, this is REALLY Ex-Detroit, a literal inferno.)
	#0@50Ni (At least I'm far away, so this heat doesn't affect me.)
Marisa	#0@58Ah envy ya. Ah like heat in my BBQ, but dis is just ridiculous!
	Cat enters
Marisa	#0@134...oh, look. It's that cat again.
Marisa	#0@142Hey, smarty pants. Any suggestions to attract this cat?
	#0@150Ni (Hmm... if the burst streamline analysis is correct...)
	#0@154Hmm?
	Cat transforms into Rin Kaenbyou
	♪ Wheelbarrow Washboard
???	#0@322Ta-Daaaah!
???	#0@330Hello there, sis! Is your arm just right?
Marisa	#0@338Ack! The cat turned into somethin' else!
Marisa	#0@346Wait a sec... Were you the one who bit my arm?
???	#0@354Yes, I was! And I see you're trying to go to the plant. You... really don't want to go there.
	#0@362Ni (Oh, dear... according to the matrix gogz, she's a special kind of mutant cat.)
	<Boss title>
Rin	#0@370You were talking with my owner, right? I've seen you guys there.
Rin	#0@378So, you want to take a ride in my Kittykatkart towards the water heating plant?
Rin	#0@386I'm sorry, but I can't do that. Right now Ravina is in control of that place.
Rin	#0@394She's a Class 5 Underground Supermutant! If you value your safety, go back to the surface!
	#0@402Ni (A Class 5 Underground Supermutant? That's interesting. I want to research her.)
Marisa	#0@410Are ye sure of dis, Nitro? She's tellin' us 'bout the dangers 'head.
Marisa	#0@418But if ya wan' to keep goin' with dis, sure, we'll continue our road.
	#0@426Ni (Also, with this, I'm getting three benefits: Hot water, that certain something and a specimen.)
Marisa	#0@434Now dat we're settled, we'll keep goin' forward!
Rin	#0@442Hey, sis! If you really want to take a ride to the plant, first you'll have to beat me!
Marisa	#0@450I'm sorry, but we don't have time for games.
Rin	#0@458C'mon, sis! I insist! Lemme play with you!
Rin	#0@466Trust me, I won't harm you... just some nasty playbites and scratches!
	Rin Kaenbyou defeated
Rin	#1@30Aaaahhhh! Look at what you did with my cart!
	#1@38Ni (Ohhhh... I'm so anxious... I can taste it!)
Marisa	#1@46Time for another 'xplanation. Why are ya feelin' so anxious?
	#1@54Ni (Remember when I said I was looking for a certain something?)
	#1@62Ni (I was going to use that certain something to improve our water park.)
Rin	#1@70Hmmm... excuse me if I say this, but I think I've seen a foreign object inside the plant.
Rin	#1@78Heh! That's kind of funny. I saw Ravina with that object.
Rin	#1@86Anyway, Ravina is one of the stray pets of our owner, but after what happened...
Rin	#1@94Well... let's just say she became way too hot to handle.
Rin	#1@102I dunno exactly about the details, but now she's in charge of the plant.
Marisa	#1@110Hmm... I see... Ah don't exactly get ya...
Marisa	#1@118But, whatever it's helpful for Nitro, I'll try to do my best!

	♪ The Final Stretch
	Rin Kaenbyou enters
Rin	#2@30Hey, I forgot to tell ya something!
Marisa	#2@150Huh? Is that cart reliable? Ah already felt from it.
Rin	#2@210I was having so much fun with our fights that I want to give it another shot!
Rin	#2@390Are you ready, sis? Here I come!
	Rin Kaenbyou defeated
Marisa	#0@34Sheesh! It's way hotter than it was outside this place!
Marisa	#0@42Ah feel like I can burn myself at any moment!
	#0@50Ni (I'm pretty sure you can endure this, Ms. Melissa.)
	#0@58Ni (In any case, if my vortex ripple analysis is right, the source of what we're looking for should be nearby.)
	#0@66Ni (Just a little bit more and we'll make it there.)
Marisa	#0@74Awww... I'd like to leave already...
	Utsuho Reiuji enters
???	#0@82Hahahahahahahah! Welcome, humans!
???	#0@150ALL OUR BASE ARE BELONG TO ME! YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO COOL OFF!
	#0@158Ni (Let's see... according to my matriz gogz... Oh, no... you gotta be kidding, right?)
Marisa	#0@166What's the matter, smarty pants? Did ya find somethin'?
	#0@174Ni (If the analysis is correct, she's a mutant raven, but... She also became the source of what I was looking for!)
???	#0@182Hmm... this is my first chance at villainy, so I'm trying to do my best impression.
???	#0@190But, you seem to know about the source of my power, so, what do you know exactly?
	#0@198Ni (Uhh... I was looking for a hydrogen bar that the plumbers at the top of the mountain threw away.)
???	#0@206Oh, you mean that strange thing those plumbers left away here? I thought it was something to...
Marisa	#0@214Sorry if I'm cuttin' the most interestin' part, but we've came to fix the hot water issue.
Marisa	#0@222So if ya don't want to help us, I'm afraid we have to stop ya,
	<Boss title>
Utsuho	#0@230Heheheh! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEH! You're too late for that, humans!
Utsuho	#0@238After I consumed that strange hydrogen bar, I've acquired the ultimate power: THE POWER OF ATOMS!
Marisa	#0@246The power of atoms? Whatddya mean? Acid Base Reactions? Really hot bunsen burner experiments!?
	#0@254Ni (You've spent time in the lab after school, haven't you? It means that she can change any molecular structure!)
	#0@262Ni (Geez, if I had known this bar could give you superpowers, I would've grabbed it if I could and I would've locked it away!)
Utsuho	#0@270Absolutely correct. The one tool meant for improving the water in your town...
Utsuho	#0@278Is now a doomsday device to infuse my own power of atoms in your water and turn EVERYONE INTO A MUTANT! LIKE ME!
	#0@286Ni (Oh, dear... and she's right. I don't doubt her actual power.)
	#0@294Ni (But she could also help us to improve the quality of our water from here.)
Marisa	#0@302A shame we can't burn things, although that's cool, but... wouldn't be that a bit dangerous?
	#0@310Ni (Not if we beat her first and stop her plan instead.)
	#0@318Ni (So please, don't harm her too much, okay?)
Marisa	#0@326I'm not sure if I can do dis, but I'll try my best!
	♪ Class 5 Supermutant, Atomic Ravina
Utsuho	#0@334Heheheheheh! Every thing you'll try will be useless, don't you get it?
Utsuho	#0@342I'll make sure to turn this place into an utopia for all of us mutants!
Utsuho	#0@350And with my POWER OF ATOMS! I'LL MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND HOW FEEBLE YOU ARE AGAINST ME!
