Introduction:
Please, do not read this if you haven't read Part I.  I don't want this to
be a waste of story.  Please, go in order, and pay attention! On with the
story...

The gun had no more ammo.  Jeff grabbed Ness and shook him violently.
"NESS! NESS!! NEEEEEEES!!!!"

Ness woke up.  "NESS!  It's about time you woke up!"  It was his sister.
"C'mon, time for breakfast!," she yelled as she ran out and down the stairs.
He was breathing rapidly, his heart beating a thousand times a minute.  He
was very relieved.  "It was all just a dream..." he let out a soft chuckle.

He slowly went downstairs, his whole body shaking nervously.  "Ness, dear,"
said his Mom, "do you want bacon or sausage?"  The phone rang.  His mother
answered.  "Ness, it's a call for you...from Poo."  Ness nodded and picked
up the phone.  "Poo?"  "Hey, Ness!! This is bad, very bad!"  Ness was afraid
to ask.  "What is it?"  "Something happened... my sword.  It's been cut into
three pieces?"  "THREE?!" Ness blurted out.  "Yes, I have no idea what did
this."  *CLACK!*  Ness dropped the phone, and it slammed against the desk.
"Ness? Ness??" Ness gulped, and shook his head in disbelief.  He picked up
the phone.  "Uhh..Poo?"  "Ness, do you have any idea how this ha-" Ness cut
him off with a quick, "Call the others.  Now.  We might have a problem." He
hung up.

"De javu", he uttered to himself.  Ness' dreams had a habit to usually come
true.  "Oh, man..."  "What?" his mom asked.  "Nothing... I'll take the
sausage."

After breakfast, the doorbell rang.  Ness walked towards the door.  "I bet
it isn't Pokey, he didn't bang on the door like an idiot...at least some
people know how to use a doorbell."  He opened it.  "NESS!"  "PAULA!" They
hugged each other.  They were overwhelmed with happiness to see each other
once again. "Poo called and told me to come to your house.  What's wrong?"
Ness remembered.  The happiness from his face suddenly vanished.  He sighed.
  He told her about the Sword of Kings and his dream.  "Ness, you really
don't think it's true, do you?"  "Three pieces, Paula.  Just like in my
dream."  "That sword is important...", said Paula, "to Poo and our
survival."  "I know that..." Ness said, with worry.  "Until Jeff and Poo get
here, lets just remember the happy things.  Let's talk about old times."
Old times... thought ness.  If my dreams come true, we could have new
times... and maybe even see...the end of time.  No, I'm not going to let
that happen!  Ness and Paula started to talk about old times.

"Come along, Fop!  Hurry it up.  We must prepare, they'll be here soon!"
The little foppy jumped up and down, staring at the old man.  The clanking
of bottles echoed through the halls, as he took some potions into a room.
"Four bottles.  One for each of them."  He filled them each with different
colored liquids.  "Soon enough, they'll be here... soon enough."
