Story
''Welcome to Eitbit, a dimension where characters from various video games live their lives. A few notable residents of Eitbit are the Retro Rebels, a group of heroes best known for defending Eitbit and teaming up with the famous Locked Room Gang. The Retro Rebels are chatting about recent events, while walking around the dimension.'' While strolling, however, Starcade accidentally bumps into a teenage girl with crimson red hair and a black-and-red outfit. ''Pixl and the Retro Rebels arrive at the Ultra Rock Band MegaStars cabinet. Pixl rings the doorbell.'' A girl with white to pink ombre medium-long hair, a white tank top with a rainbow pixel design, a light yellow jacket, an indigo skirt, white knee-high socks and pink sneakers arrives to open the door. The Retro Rebels enter the arcade cabinet. ''bitStella leads everyone to the practice area. A yellow-haired teenage boy wearing a white shirt with yellow bolt patterns and black pants is seen playing the guitar while sitting on a chair.'' Another yellow-haired that looks like Shock except with a black shirt and white pants arrives near Shock. (W.I.P.)
 * Starcade: So, we collaborated with Gary Garnet to invent an android which will take care of the constant city reconstruction problem we have in Echo Creek. We called it the Spicken Spandroid 5000.
 * Smokey Bacon: Oh, "spick and span", I get it!
 * Test Subject Blue: Spicken Spandroid 5000?
 * Starcade: Or Spandroid for short. We were about to present our creation to the Locked Room Gang, but something terrible happened.
 * Test Subject Blue: What happened?
 * Starcade: Spandroid, instead of fixing things, started breaking everything in his way. It was a tough battle since Spandroid's armor is extremely durable. But the Locked Room Gang managed to defeat him by going into his systems.
 * Test Subject Blue: But how?
 * Starcade: We realized that Spandroid's interior is rather weak as compared to his exterior.
 * Hot Air: Well, who was responsible?
 * Starcade: It's Re...
 * Viking: Re-Peat Boss! I knew it! When I get my hammer on him, I'll send him flying through all 12 constellations!
 * Test Subject Blue: That is, until we meet that evil moss again.
 * Owl: Yeah, he deserves a good lesson!
 * Starcade: But Echo Creek isn't being attacked today, so the gang won't need me over for now. Let's spend the day strolling through the streets of Eitbit and relax, shall we?
 * Test Subject Blue: You got it!
 * Pink Angel: Sounds fun!
 * Smokey Bacon: And relaxing too!
 * Starcade: Ouch!
 * ???: ACK!
 * Test Subject Blue: Are you alright, Starcade?
 * Starcade: I'm fine, someone just bumped into me. *to the teenage girl* Hey, girl, I'm sorry for bumping into you. Are you okay?
 * ???: Yeah, yeah...
 * Starcade: Phew. So anyway, who are you that I've bumped into?
 * ???: I'm Pixl, lead singer of Arcade Attack.
 * Starcade: And I'm Starcade, leader of the Retro Rebels from the Star Fighters franchise. What game are you from, Pixl?
 * Pixl: I'm from Ultra Rock Band MegaStars.
 * Starcade: Cool!
 * Pink Angel: Arcade Attack? Is that like a...rockstar band?
 * Pixl: Yep.
 * Pink Angel: I like it!
 * Starcade: Well, it's certainly nice to meet new friends!
 * Smokey Bacon: The more the merrier!
 * Pixl: Say, how about I introduce you guys to my band?
 * Starcade: That would be nice.
 * Test Subject Blue: Much appreciated.
 * Pink Angel: More friends? Sounds fun!
 * Owl: Let's go!
 * Starcade: So, where's your arcade cabinet at?
 * Pixl: It's a few blocks away from the Star Fighters cabinet.
 * Pink Angel: Alright, let's go! New friends, here we come!
 * Starcade: Let's go meet your friends, Pixl.
 * Pixl: Okay then!
 * Hot Air: Come on!
 * Test Subject Blue: Be patient, Hot Air. The door will be answered soon.
 * Pixl: Everyone, meet Sara, a.k.a. bitStella.
 * bitStella: Hi...!
 * Starcade: Hi, bitStella! We even have matching sneakers...sort of.
 * Pink Angel: Nice to meet you!
 * Test Subject Blue: Yeah, like he...it said.
 * bitStella: Well, come in!
 * Starcade: Thanks.
 * Owl: Looks like you've got more friends in there.
 * Test Subject Blue: This is so cool!
 * Starcade: So, who are your other friends?
 * bitStella: Well, I'm pretty sure you've met Pixl by now.
 * Starcade: Yes, I meant your other friends besides Pixl. She was the first one we've met.
 * bitStella: I'll introduce my friends later. So anyway, like Pixl said I'm Sara Koharu, a.k.a bitStella. What's your names?
 * Starcade: I'm Starcade, though my real name is "Pixelara". You can still call me Starcade though.

 * Warlock: And you may call me Warlock.
 * Starcade: So there we are. We've introduced ourselves.
 * bitStella: Well, aside from me and Pixl, there's Shock, Volt, Torque, and Synthney.
 * Starcade: Interesting. Can we meet them?
 * bitStella: Sure thing!
 * Smokey Bacon: Hey, a guitarist! That "rocks"!
 * Starcade: He kinda looks like Kyoji...
 * Test Subject Blue: Why does he remind you of your ninja friend?
 * Starcade: Matching hair colors? That might be it.
 * ???: *notices the Retro Rebels* Hey Stella, who are the new guys here?
 * bitStella: Guys, meet Shock.
 * Starcade: Hi~! *smiles*

 * Pink Angel: Nice to meet you!
 * Shock: Uh, sup.
 * ???: 'Sup, Shock!
 * Shock: Hey, Volt!

 * Shock: Yep!
 * Volt: We're twins.
