==Plot Summary==
At the Firebreathing Kittens Guild Hall, Grantham Picklebottom Jr began at the notice board looking for his first adventure where he came across Reine Ylvaby struggling with a flyer stuck to her horns. While Grantham assisted her, they were approached by wrestling promoter Vance Manheim. Manheim handed them both a flyer promoting the Multiversal Tournament of Champions happening that very evening and inviting a team of Fire Breathing Kittens to join the fray. Grantham accepted enthusiastically while Reine went along apprehensively. They then discovered Camila speaking with Manheim outside the guild, while she was dressed in a uniform and selling hot dogs.
They convinced Camila to join them and they made their way to Sal’s Custom Costumes. Grantham then bought a pyramid of four hotdogs that he then spent most of the episode trying to finish off. Upon arrival they were greeted by Sal and purchased the finest costumes available and agreed a deal where they would wear Sal’s Custom Costumes logos on their outfits.
They made their way to the Eastinghouse Forum in the center of the city to see several carts filled with merchandise for wrestlers The Gravedigger, The Avalanche and another wearing a parka and earmuffs. Grantham purchased a Gravedigger button for 10 gold pieces. When they made their way through the forum, they walked past a V.I.P. Section that revealed that, in attendance, were “E. Diablo, R. Joyner and M Picklebottom”. Their names caused members of the party to hesitate.
Grantham changed into an amateur wrestling singlet, Camila into an altered hot dog stand uniform, and Reine went behind a screen and reappeared as a 7’6” cat-like horned werewolf in a customized costume for her new form. There was a knock at the door and Rameses Joyner entered the room wearing a custom tuxedo and unable to recognise Camila. He finds her familiar but can’t pin down how. He then offered that he will pay them handsomely to throw the evening’s fight, since he stands to make a hefty profit if the Fire Breathing Kittens lose.
Grantham made his way to the VIP room and the suite for the Picklebottom Shipping Company and his sister, Monica. He entered and spoke to Monica, who expressed shame and embarrassment at seeing that Grantham would be competing in the competition. Grantham then saw the forum in full swing from the suite, including six rings of creatures fighting with magic and muscle.
The time then came to begin the match. Grantham improvised a freestyle rap on his way down to the ring to cheers. Camila dragged her hotdog stand with her, handing out three hotdogs. Reine came down to boos. Then their opponents The Gravedigger, The Avalanche and Fire Breathing Kitten Norage Fleshripper wearing a flag designed singlet.
Manheim announced that the match would be won by winning favor from the crowd rather than physical prowess or defeat. But before the match could begin, Sigrid Andersen entered the ring from the crowd and demanded to be added to the match. Manheim agreed, adding wrestler Jim Visible to the Fire Breathing Kittens team.
The match began with Camila slinging hot dogs at any moving target, often blinding or debilitating targets. Grantham attempted to take down The Avalanche, which started off well, but he began to be pummelled by the 8ft wrestler once he started teaming up with The Gravedigger. Meanwhile, Norage Fleshripper was locked in a tense to-and-fro with Jim-visible and Reine and Sigrid Andersen entered into a much more real fight.
Eventually, the match was decided by an act of mercy. With Sigrid incapacitated by a series of attacks, Camila stood over her to protect her from getting hurt any further, which won the crowd’s favor enough to push the Fire Breathing Kittens over the finish line before their opponents. The Fire Breathing Kitten’s were presented with a winner’s pot of 15,000 gold, and all the competitors celebrated in the ring together in a sportsmanlike manner. All apart from Sigrid, who paper-airplaned a message to Reine saying “this is not over”. Typical Sigrid, according to Reine.
Back in their dressing room, the Fire Breathing Kittens were recovering when Ramses Joyner insisted on entering the room. He was furious to have lost hundreds of thousands of gold pieces, and he seemed irritated he could not place where he recognised Camila from. It was at this point that Camila removed her hat and revealed herself, right before stuffing a dessert hotdog in his mouth and storming out of the dressing room.
