Age of the Monkey Wars: Part I

an EarthBound story by

By: Mr. Colin

Ness dodged to the right to avoid the oncoming laser. Ness backed up behind a table as the Octobots closed in. More Octobots then came in though Ness' front door. Tracy, Mom, Dad, and King were hiding in the shadows of a corner, their faces struck with terror. Ness then swung his bat at an Octobot but little damage was inflicted. Ness then felt a surge of pain on his right side. He looked down to see a blistering wound on his right hip. Ness immediately fell to the ground. Ness lay there helplessly as the Octobots moved in on his family. King whimpered a helpless bark as a shadowy figure entered the house...

Ness sat up in his bed, his face dripping with sweat and his heart pounding out of his chest.

"A dream." Ness murmured. "I was just a dream..."

Ness fell back onto his pillow and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Things will be fine in the morning." Ness whispered as he fell back to sleep.

The next morning...

Ness walked slowly down the stairs still half asleep. Ness was awaked by the smell of steak and eggs for breakfast.

"Well look who decided to grace us with his presence." Ness' Mom said cheerfully as she continued to make breakfast.

"Hey!" Ness' dad said gleefully reading the morning newspaper. "The Runaway Five are playing a free concert here in Onett!"

"How?" Tracy asked in confusion. "We don't have a concert hall or anything."

"It says here that "...the concert will be held in front of the Onett Town Hall..." Ness' Dad quoted from the newspaper.

"Cool." Tracy replied. "Ever since Ness told me about them I wanted to see them."

"Do we have to go.." Ness said. "I was planing to go to Summers with Paula..."

"You always spend so much time with her and not us." Ness' said coxed. "Were your family. Can't you and Paula go some other time."

"No! We can't!" Ness yelled banging his fork on the table. "You said that the past two times! We were planning to make this trip three months ago! But, no you said. We have more things to do as a family! But. Not this time, Paula and I are going and your not stopping me!"

Ness stormed out of the room and picked up the phone.

"Is Paula there?" Ness asked.

"Hello Ness!" Paula said.

"Are you done packing?" Ness asked.

"Yes, but why are we leaving now? We are supposed to leave this afternoon."

"I know. Don't ask why. I'll be there in a few minutes to pick you up."

"Okay then. Bye Ness."

"Bye."

Ness hung up the phone and started to go up stairs.

"Ooooo!" Tracy whistled. "Ness has a girlfriend! Ness has a girlfriend" She taunted.

"I'm going to kill you Tracy!" Ness yelled as he gave chase to his fleeing sister.

But Tracy got too much of a head start. She ran into her room, locking the door behind her. Ness started pounding on the door.

"If I get my hands on you the police will never find your remains!" Ness threatened.

Of course they won't find my remains!" Tracy yelled back. "The police will only put up roadblocks!"

Ness thought about that for a second then returned to his room. Ness got his suitcase and went back downstairs and out the front door without saying goodbye to anyone. Outside Ness looked down the dirt path towards Onett.

"Well this is it." Ness said as he teleported to Twoson. Ness came to a halt right in front of Orange Kid.

"Hey! Ness old' buddy old' pal!" Orange Kid said cheerfully. "Hey I'm a little short on cash right now..could you lend..."

"No!" Ness yelled. "Get away from me four eyes!"

"Boy aren't we grouchy to...." Orange kid started to say.

"Look it's a girl wearing a bikini!" Ness yelled in surprise.

"Where! Where is...Ness! Hey where ya going!"

By that time Ness was halfway down the block.

"Hi Ness." Paula said when see saw Ness from the front yard of her preschool.

"My don't you like nice." Ness said in reply.

"Ready to head out." he said.

"Yep!"

"Well then get behind me." Ness said.

In a blink of an eye they were in Summers.

"First let's check into a hotel." Ness suggested.

Paula put her arm around Ness as they walked into the hotel.

Nobody one was at the front desk.

"Hello?" Ness and Paula said.

"Yes?" said a man as he popped up from behind the counter knocking Ness off his feet.

"Uh...yes we would like a room." Ness said getting himself up.

"Do you have a reservation?" The clerk asked.

"Do we need one?" Ness asked.

"Sir, this is a five star hotel. All reservations must be made three months in advance." The desk clerk explained.

"Look mister. My name is Ness with a bat about to kick your..."

"Ness." Paula interrupted. "We can go some where else."

"Ness, did you say Ness?" The clerk asked surprisedly.

"Yeah." Ness said cooly.

"Uhhh...wait one moment." The clerk said as he went though an "employee only" door .

A few minutes later the clerk returned,

"Umm...Mister Ness, we have a special room for you free of charge." The clerk said.

"Cool!" Paula and Ness said together.

"Allow me to carry your bags." another clerk said.

Ness, Paula, and the clerk entered a room on the third floor.

"This room has an excellent view." Ness commented.

"And the beds are so soft." Paula added.

"All right then." Said the clerk. "I'll leave you two little love birds a lone."

"Well what first?" Paula asked.

"Why not the ocean?" Ness suggested.

"Good idea." Paula said.

Later on the beach...

"Hang ten!" Ness yelled as he impressed Paula with his mad surfing skills.

Just then the wave broke sending Ness under water and off his board. Paula fell to the ground laughing. Paula came out into the water help Ness catching his surfboard. Just the a whirlpool appeared.

Everyone on the beach froze to see what it was.

SPLAAAAAAASHH! A giant Kracken emerged from the water!

"Please remain calm!" a voice from a megaphone said."The police will have the situation under control."

The people didn't listen, they ran around in circles. Some running into buildings along the coast.

The police's bullets were not piercing the Kracken's body. The Kracken tried a Crash Bang Boom attack which took out a group of palm trees. The cops dropped their guns and ran.

"Well it's up to us." Ness said. "I didn't know Krackens appeared this close to shore..."

Paula didn't waste any time, she already tried PSI Freeze Omega. The Kracken froze in place. Giving Ness a free attack. Ness took his chance and used PSI Rockin Beta. The Kracken yelled in pain.

"Now Ness!" Paula yelled.

Ness used PSI Rockin Omega!

The Kracken was hit hard. The Kracken then retreated back into the ocean.

Ten Minutes later...

The Mayor of Summers finished his speech and gave Ness and Paula medals.

"Thank you once again." The mayor said, shaking their hands.

The crowed cheered as Ness and Paula stepped off the podium and onto the beach.

The crowed then went about as usual.

"Well," Ness said to Paula. "We are now once again heroes."

"And heroines." She reminded Ness.

"Yes well all this has made me hungry." Ness stated.

Yes, me too." Paula agreed. "Care to go to a restaurant?"

"Sure." Ness said.

At the restaurant...

"I'm sorry but we don't allow kids to dine in." The waiter explained. "We can, however, let you take out."

"I suppose we'll eat it at the hotel." Ness told Paula.

"Yeah we will take out." Ness told the waiter.

"Good. What would you like?" The waiter asked. "Oh by the way great job defeating the Kracken, the whole town is in your debt."

"Thanks" said Paula. "I will have the.......Soup de Summers, with a bread roll on the side, and a Shirley temple to drink."

"Sounds good. And you sir?" the waiter asked.

"I'll take a mammoth burger, a bag of fries, and a protein drink." Ness answered.

"Okay then." the waiter said. "That will be ready in about a half an hour ."

A half an hour later...

"Here you are!" the waiter said. "Enjoy, and please choose us again!"

Ness and Paula walked back outside and to the hotel.

In the hotel room...

"Here's your dinner Paula." Ness said handing her a bowl of hot soup.

Ness got out his dinner and Paula and him sat down at the table.

"There's been a few things on my mind." Ness told Paula.

"Really? Like what." Paula asked.

"How come that desk clerk acted so weird and went into the back room when he heard my name?"

"Just excited to see you in person?" Paula suggested.

"Or why did that Kracken come so close to the shore?"

"Just lost?" Paula suggested.

"You've had a rough day." Paula stated. "Why not sleep on it and see how you feel in the morning."

"You're right." Ness told her as he got into bed. "See you in the morning."

"I usually am right." Paula stated as she got into bed. "Goodnight Ness."

Later that night...

Please no... don't take my kids, kill me instead... the figure just laughed. Ness' dad stood up to challenge only to be knocked down by an Octobot. The figure then pulled something out of his pocket, and aimed it at Ness' family huddled in the corner...

"Ness! Ness! What's wrong?" Paula asked. "You kept yelling no!"

"N..n..nothing is wrong." Ness lied.

"If you insist." Paula said as she got back into bed.

"G..good..n..nigh..t." Ness gasped.

The next morning...

"Paula, there's something I need to tell you." Ness said as he ate his cereal.

"What is it?" Paula asked with some concern in her voice.

"They past few nights I have been having this continuing dream." Ness explained. "It started out with Octobots attacking my house, then I was shot. Then the Octobots surrounded my family as I laid helplessly on the floor. Then a shadowy figure would appear and advance in on my family...Then I would wake up."

" That explains you waking up screaming last night." Paula noted.

"Yeah, but what does it all mean?" Ness asked not expecting to get an answer.

"I don't know, but were on vacation Ness, so let's try to enjoy and worry about that later." Paula explained.

"You're right, Paula." Ness said.

"I usually am." Paula said with a smirk.

"I'll try to put this behind me, so let's go have some fun." Ness suggested.

Ness and Paula went outside to see all the tourist traps Summers had to offer.

"Why don't we go see what's happing down at Toto?" Paula asked.

"Sure." Ness agreed. "I want to check out how the Magic Cake lady is."

"Well, here she comes now!" Paula said pointing at a lady pushing a food cart.

"My if it isn't my friend aahhh...Jeff?" The lady said.

"It's Ness." Ness corrected her.

"Would you like some magic Cake?" She asked.

"Sure!" I'll have some." Ness said licking his lips.

"Uh, no I'll pass." Paula told her. "I had a big breakfast.

"Alrighty then. One Magic Cake to go." The lady said, handing Ness some cake.

The Magic Cake lady wheeled her cart away as Ness took a big bite of cake.

"Hey! This stuff tastes great! I wish I had another pi........" Ness trailed off as he dropped to the ground.

"So you wish to save your kids." The figure said. The figure threw the object he held in his and smoke filled the room. The smoke cleared leaving Tracy and King laying on the floor. Ness' parents gone.

"Ness! Your screaming again! Ness!" Paula yelled.

"W..What happened?" Ness asked in confusion.

"You bit into the cake, dropped to the floor and started screaming again." Paula explained.

"It was a continuation of my dream." Ness told Paula in fear.

"Something isn't right." Paula said. "We better go back to your parents and find out what happened.

"I think I'll do that right now." Ness said still shaking.

Ness and Paula lined up and sprinted down the street. In a second they landed in front of Ness' house.

"What's all this?" Ness asked as he saw his house surrounded by caution tape and police officers.

"Nobody can cross the tape! Nobody can cross the tape! Nobody can cross the tape! Cross nobody the tape can! Opps, I mean Nobody can cross the tape!" The police officers said.

"Don't you watch the news boy?" A cop asked sarcastically. "There's been a kidnaping, well actually an adult napping.

"My parents were adultnaped!?" Ness yelled in confusion. "Where's my sister!" Ness demanded.

"Oh your Ness..." said the police officer. "Your sister is down at the police station looking at mug shots of some likely villains."

"Com'n Paula!" Ness yelled.

Paula and Ness headed down to the police Onett station.

"Uh...Ness... remember your dream..." Paula reminded him.

Ness stopped dead in his tracks.

"How could I have predicted the future though?" Ness asked.

"Well...I don't know, let's ask Jeff." Paula suggested. "He knows a lot about highly scientific stuff."

"Good idea." Ness said as they teleported to Winters.

"What the heck!?" Paula and Ness both said as they landed on soft grass.

"All of Winters is covered with grass and trees." Paula said in disbelief.

"I have eyes Paula." Ness said.

Mean while at Dr. Andonuts lab...

"Look at this son." Dr. Andonuts said as Jeff came over to look.

"So you finally figured out what's causing this strange weather?" Jeff asked.

"Yes, and it has to do with someone changing it in the future." Dr. Andonuts told his son.

"How, though I thought man could only..." Jeff trailed off as Ness and Paula flung open the lab door ant started screaming out sentence fragments.

"Ness!...dream!...vacation!...Kracken!...magic cake!...adultnaping!..."

"Wait!" Jeff screamed. "What happened? Start from the beginning"

*****************************************************************

authors note: Ness and Paula explained what happened during this fanfic up to now to Jeff and his dad. In order to save your sanity we will leave you off when Ness and Paula finish the story. Thank you. Now back to the story.

*****************************************************************

"Well then that means your problem and Winter's problem are linked together." Dr. Andonuts said.

"What do you mean by that?" Paula and Ness asked at once.

"Someone is creating these problems in the future. That explains your visions at night, Ness. Your powers must be greater than I thought. Who ever is doing this is attacking from the future, therefore we cannot rescue your family, stop the Kracken attacks in Summers, or change Winters climate back to normal unless someone goes into the future to stop these disasters before they happen." Dr. Andonuts explained.

Ring.........ring.......

"I'll get it!" Jeff said rushing towards the phone.

"Hello! This is Mr. Spoon from the museum in Fourside! The whole city is under attack! Starmen are everywhere. They took over the Monotoli building and all is in click....beep...beep." The connection was lost.

"Ness, Paula, Fourside is under attack! It's Starmen! We gotta stop them!" Jeff yelled.

"What! Starmen! I thought we destroyed them." Ness yelled as he grabbed his bat out of his backpack.

"Ness, even when we destroyed Giygas' main battle station, we didn't completely stopp them." Jeff explained as he dumped out drawers searching for a firearm.

"I'll work on a time machine when your gone!" Dr. Andonuts said as they left.

Jeff found his weapon and headed out the door with Ness and Paula following. They lined up, ran around in circles and were gone.

Fourside really was under attack. Civilians were running mad, as the Starmen carelessly shot people, buildings, cars or whatever was in there path. Several dish shaped spaceships the size of most of Fourside's buildings flew overhead, releasing l'll UFOs into the battle. Police helicopters, and officers proved to be no threat to invaders.

"Just don't stand there, we gotta help!" Paula yelled.

Four UFOs dived in on Jeff, however, Jeff dodged to the right and took them down in four shots as they flew by. Paula was going on a shooting rampage with PSI Freeze and Fire attacks. Ness got into a taxi and revved and accelerated causing a group of Starman mortal damage.

"There's too many of them!" Paula yelled as two Starmen were hit by PSI Lightning.

Th city was in complete chaos, with buildings crumbling and collapsing all around them.

Then a person swept down from the sky. It was Poo! Poo tried PSI Starstorm super Omega. Lightning flashed, the sky turned to a ray of brilliant colors and the Starmen UFOs and motherships exploded into giant heaps of scrap metal.

"WOW!" What a move! Ness yelled as shook Poo's hand in thanks.

"How did you learn that!" Paula said hugging Poo. "It must of took really advanced Mu training!"

"You saved us again!" Jeff said hardly containing his glee. "You saved us just you did when we fought Master Belch in Deep Darkness!"

"No time to explain that." said Poo. "But Dr. Andonuts called me and told me that Fourside was under attack, he also said to come to his lab when the battle was over."

"Okay then let's go! Everyone line up behind me!" Ness commanded.

In a blink of an eye Ness and his friends were in Winters.

"Quickly get in this time machine! I call it the Phase Disorder IV! " Dr. Andonuts told Ness as they entered the lab. "It will transport you twenty years into the future. But remember that tewenty years have passed. The kidnaping, Kracken attack, climate change in Winters, and the invasion of Fourside is just the beginning. Who knows how bad the future could be."

"We better get more supplies." Ness suggested.

"Time is of the essence, Ness." Jeff said in reply.

"But what good is an invasion if we aren't equipped?" Ness protested.

"Well, I'm fully equipped. Besides Ness, your house is blocked off by the police. Onett is famous for blocks, and they won't move without Captain Strong's permission, and that won't happen. " said Paula holding up a frying pan.

"I'm equipped too." Jeff said welding a cosmic firearm.

"So has big is this attack force going to be?" Poo asked.

"Your looking at it..." Paula said sighing.

"We can't attack Gygais in his home world with just four people!" Poo yelled.

"Three people." Jeff corrected. "Ness isn't equipped, and he can't get his stuff in inside his house because the police have it blocked off."

"Then buy some more!" Poo commanded Ness.

"We don't have the time." Paula explained. "Ness, you stay here with Dr. Andonuts and monitor our progress. Let's get into the Phase Disorder IV." She commanded.

Jeff, Paula, and Poo entered the Phase Disorder IV.

"Sure hopes this works..." Jeff said as he pressed a button that said "Go."

A few clicks and clanks, a puff of smoke and the Phase Disorder IV disappeared.

"Strap yourselves in as we make the break to super ludicrous speed." Jeff instructed.

They all got into chairs and buckled their set belt. (To set a good example to the little kids that are reading this fanfic.)

"How exactly do we go tewenty years into the future in only a few minutes." Paula asked.

"Well Paula, it's a very simple process." explained Jeff. "First you calculate the wind speed, divide it by the PH ratio of the average temperature of a dead star, find the calculus ratio of the theory 46/-442130.110.6155%$54684525&4584*^55678, then you divide that by the square root of the ph electrons giving of by a cosmic alloy to..."

"Shut up!" Paula yelled.

"Is that all you do?" Poo asked sarcastically.

"Shudup." Jeff snapped back at Poo. "Wait were coming up on Twoson in the year 2020"

"Why Twoson?" Paula asked.

"Because Twoson is were the most molecules of the p4 square of 4566.665 is located." Jeff explained.

"Forget I asked." Paula said.

"Where about to land..." Jeff trailed off as the lights inside flicked and died out.

"That didn't sound good..." Poo said in concern.

"We're going to crash land!" Jeff yelled.

"Maybe this will help." Paula said pointing to button that said "If you are about to crash land twenty years in the future press here."

"Worth a shot." said Poo as he pressed the button.

"Thank you for pressing te crash landing button." a mechanical voice, coming from a speaker, said.

All the controls and hard surfaces were then covered with Styrofoam.

CRAAAAASSSHH!!!

"I think we've stopped." Jeff announced.

"Where would you get an idea like that?" Paula asked sarcastically.

"Simple. I just multiplied the point of impact by the rate of velocity, factored in the apparent wind speed by adding the square root of the metric ton then divided..." Jeff said.

"Will you shut up!" Poo and Paula yelled at once.

"Sorry, you asked for the answer." Jeff said.

"Here Paula you take this." Jeff said, handing her a small device. "It's a communicator." Jeff explained. "So we can talk to Ness and my dad back in Winters. Don't ask me to explain how it works. Just press the red button to talk, the green button to receive a message."

"Let's just step outside and take a look...uh...oh..." Jeff sighed. "The doors jammed shut."

"Move out of the way." Paula instructed. "I'll just use PSI Freeze to freeze the door then smash it with a hammer.

Paula turned to the door and used PSI Freeze on the door. Like she said the door froze solid.

"Now give me a heavy object." Paula instructed.

"Good luck finding one." Poo said. "Look around Paula, the whole ship is covered with Styrofoam."

"I have my frying pan." Paula said as she smashed the pan against the door. Nothing happened. The ice didn't chip or crack.

"Well now what?" Poo asked.

"Use PSI Fire." Jeff said.

"Right, and burn are selves to death." Paula said rolling her eyes.

"Maybe this button will help." Said Poo pointing to a button that said "If the door isn't opening and you froze it solid, and have no way of getting out press here."

"Worth a shot." said Paula as she pressed the button.

Instantly the ice melted and the door swung open. Jeff and his party looked around with jaws wide open. Laying before them was nothing but rubble, debris, and corpses. Not a living thing in site. Dark clouds covered the sky while smoke arose from some piles of rubble.

"This is Twoson?!" Paula said almost crying as she looked at disembodied limbs everywhere.

"Despite how bad this looks, it isn't too bad." Jeff started to explain. "You see, these people aren't really dead yet. Remember, we're twenty years into the future, so in our time none of this has happened yet. But if we don't find out who did this and stop it the this really will happen. You with me?"

"Yes, but it still is sad." Poo said.

"Well where do we start?" Paula asked.

Then a beeping noise started coming from the communication device.

"Press the green button, Paula." Jeff instructed.

"Hello Jeff?" said Ness's voice coming from the communicator.

"This is Jeff." Jeff responded by grabbing the communicator from Paula.

"Using this computer here we scanned the whole area of Eagleland, the only life forms we could pick up were coming from Winters." Ness said.

"Thanks Ness, out." Jeff responded as he put the communicator in his jacket pocket.

"Let us Teleport to Winters then." Poo said as Paula and Jeff lined up behind Poo.

The world became a blur as Poo and the gang teleported away from the wastelands of Twoson.

"Poo, Jeff, and Paula landed in Winters and instantly had to jump behind a palm tree as two UFO's whizzed by.

Paula and company looked around to see nothing but sandy beaches, palm trees and Tessie Lake. The shores of the lake were covered with Starmen, and UFOs. In Lake Tessie Kracken swam freely, and Giygas troops in for a swim.

"This is not Winters." Paula stated.

"Tell me about it." Jeff replied.

"Considering no other life forms weren't found anywhere else this must be Giygas palace is." Jeff cemented.

"Psst," said a voice from the rocks to Jeff's right. "Please help us."

"Jeff, Poo, and Paula ducked behind the rocks to see who it was. Sitting there were two monkeys.

"Please come with is to south shore." The monkey explained. "There me and monkey pals have the only stronghold against Giygas left."

"Then why don't you go?" Poo whispered.

"The secret passage is a cave, me not good at spelunking ." Monkey explained.

"Secret passage you said?" Paula asked.

"Right through these rocks is a passage to south shore." The monkey explained.

"Let's go then." Jeff commanded, following the monkeys into the cave.

The cave was very dark, and gloomy. Definitely not a monkeys habitat. Water dripped though cracks on the low hanging ceiling as the party made their way though.

"Now comes crunch time."a monkey said pointing to a mine cart. "Must all fit in."

Jeff and company all squeezed into the mine cart. However, they did not realize how steep the track actually was.

"Let me steer." said one Monkey. "I know the way out."

"All ready?" Poo asked as he let go of the brake before anyone could answer..

The mine cart started out slow, but worked it's way up to speed. Soon the surrounding became a blur as Paula was trying to hold down her hair and hang onto the cart with both hands. Poo was braking trying to keep the mine cart under control.

"Duck!" Jeff yelled as a low hanging support beam nearly scalped them.

The track twisted sharply right and left, everyone aboard had to shift their weight accordingly to stay on the track. The party had to duck several time to avoid low obstacles. The cave was beginning to get a bit hazy, which made steering for the monkey a little harder.

Paula's eyes widened with terror as she saw the oncoming path. About a thirty yard section of the track was missing.

"Everyone shift your weight to the back of the cart!" Jeff yelled trying to be heard over the sound of the clanking rails.

The jump became closer, forty, thirty, twenty yards.

"Here it comes!" The monkey yelled as the cart became derailed.

Everyone looked outside the cart to see a never ending pit below them. There was an eerie silence as the cart flew though the air.

"Brace yourselves!" Poo yelled.

The sound of clanking rails became a welcoming sound as the cart landed perfectly onto the track. The cart was still traveling at the speed of over ninety mph, according to Jeff's calculations, which are usually correct.

"Apply the brakes!" Paula yelled when see saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

Poo slammed down the brake handle too hard. It snapped in half as the cart smashed through the exit sign. Everyone yelled as the cart flew out of the tunnel and into a sand dune. The spelunkers slowly got up still dizzy from the wild ride.

"We're alive!" Jeff yelled. "Oh, kiss the sweet ground!"

Jeff bent over and kissed the sand only to stand right back up blowing sand out of his mouth making choking noises. Poo then gave Jeff a hearty slap on the back making Jeff spew sand everywhere.

"Thanks Poo." Jeff said still wheezing.

"Look it's Stonehenge." Paula said, pointing to the sand covered structures.

"The we must be near my dad's lab!" Jeff said happily as he turned around to look, but his happiness turned to sorrow.

There was a big pile of debris where the lab should be. Jeff and the gang moved in for a closer look to discover two skeletons. One was a young boy, the other looked a lot older.

"You don't think..." Paula said.

"I do." Poo and Jeff both said.

"We better tell Ness." Jeff said, pulling the communicator out of his pocket only to find it in seven pieces.

"Just fix it." Poo said, still brushing himself off.

"It's beyond repair, Poo." Jeff said starring down on the pile of debris in his hand.

"So were is your secret base?" Paula asked one of the monkeys.

"Under Stonehenge." a monkey replied. "We found it in bad condition but we repaired the base to look as good as new."

"You repaired the Stonehenge base!" Jeff said in amazement. "After we destroyed it, not even Giygas could repair it!"

"You must be good repair monkeys! Maybe you could fix our communicator?" Paula exclaimed.

The monkey took the communicator from Jeff and went to work. In about a minute the monkey finished and handed the communicator back to Jeff.

"There, as good as new. I also added a new feature, It restores your HP,..sorry, life whenever you press the yellow button." the monkey explained.

Jeff was dumbfounded as the party made their way to the Stonehenge base. When they entered, Poo, Jeff, and Paula were expecting to see a narrow, purple passages like they saw ten years ago. But they were about to be surprised.

"Password please." the speaker asked.

"The monkey talked monkey gibberish for a few seconds then the door slid open reveling a huge room.

The room, or laboratory, hanger, and control station had to be five times the size of Snow Wood Boarding School. The room was full of computers and monkeys hard at work fixing around fifty helicopters that looked like the one Pokey use to escape from Fourside (except these were covered with missiles and bombs . Some yellow submarines also were under repair, which were also supped up with projectiles. Some Tendas and Mr. Saturns could also be seen helping out.

"Their preparing for the invasion." the monkey said as the walked though the base.

"Who runs this place?" Poo asked.

"I do." the monkey responded. "You can call me Prince Bingo or just Bingo. I should have told you that earlier."

Just then a monkey with some sort of pins came up to them.

"Yes, captain?" bingo asked.

"We are nearly complete with the invasion machines, but the troops are exhausted from all the work and the automatic healers aren't working." The captain explained.

"Uh...My dad and I built a similar device a while ago." Jeff said. "Perhaps I could help?"

"Good idea. Jeff go with the captain and try to figure something out." Bingo commanded.

"Poo, Paula, come with me." Bingo said beckoning them to follow. "You can help me plan the attack.

* * * * * *

"I see the problem. You just have the red cables mixed with the blue ones." Jeff told the head technician, who was also a monkey.

The technician handed Jeff some safety glasses (to set a good example for the young kids reading this fanfic) as Jeff started fixing the wires.

In a few moments the monkeys took turns going into the machine to be healed.

* * * * * *

The planing room was just a table with maps everywhere. Poo and Bingo were discussing plans off attack at one end why Paula looked for enemy weaknesses at the other end.

"Look here!" shouted Paula. "Because of their metallic structure, Starmen cannot stay in water for no more than fifteen minutes!"

"How does that help us?" Bingo questioned.

"If we lure them into Lake Tessie then we wouldn't have to fight them!" Paula answered.

Poo then spoke up. "What if we sent out helicopters to lure the Starmen off shore, then have the submarines surface near the shore to block them off!"

"Hey! Remember when we first saw the Starmen and UFOs on the beach? They were all partying." Paula said. "So we could have the element of surprise!"

"That might work." Bingo said. "It has to work...."

Bingo then got over the PA system. "All generals, meet me in my quarters, all troops, get to your helicopters and submarines."

Bingo the explained the plan to the generals, who explained the plan to their troops. Within a half an hour the monkeys were ready to attack. Poo was in command of the helicopter fleet, while Paula took command of the submarines.

Jeff and Bingo sat in the control room behind computers. They were the brains of this situation. Bingo was typing in commands in Poo.

"Jeff, there's something I need to tell you." Bingo started. "This war, between Starmen

and monkey, has been going on for years now. We have never won a battle. The enemy has chased us, beaten us, and humiliated us. But, never have we launched an offensive attack. Today is the first time we attack the enemy. We have spent over half a year preparing for this invasion. If we loose this battle then will probably never have the power to launch another offensive attack."

Jeff just looked on.

Bingo finished his story and Jeff returned to his computer and gave the order to Poo for take off.

"Helicopters take off!" Poo yelled into his microphone has he lifted his helicopter off the ground.

The helicopters then started heading to the north shore. At the same time the submarines left the station.

The beach came into view and Poo gave the orders to fire. Several missiles headed straight for the beach taking out many Starmen, and put an stop to the partying.

The UFOs were quick to counter attack. Soon the Helicopters and UFOs engaged in battle.

"Cover your squadrons, leaders!" Poo said into the microphone. "We have to give the submarines enough time to get to shore.

Meanwhile the Starmen were, as planned, lured into the ocean to help the UFOs.

"Cut right to draw there fire!" Poo ordered as he turned left to shoot down two UFOs

Even though Poo's monkeys was grossly outnumbered the opening of the battle put the UFOs in confusion. Unlike Poo's fleet, the UFOs were not in any order. They were flying around be shot down like flies.

Underwater, Paula was about to run into some trouble. Between her fleet of submarines and the coast was a school of Kracken.

"Use heat seeking missiles!" Paula commanded.

The Kracken were helpless under water. They could not use their "Crash Bang Boom" attack, due to the fact that water conducts electricity. The tornado attack could only be used on the surface. So the Kracken were weaponless.

Paula and her fleet quickly plowed their way through the Kracken and were at the coast.

"We've reached the coast, Poo." Paula said.

"All helicopters lure the Starmen father off shore!" Poo ordered.

The Helicopters turned around to head back to the south shore. Their work was over, it was now up to Paula. Then, just like Paula said, the Starmen began to rust. The Starmen hadn't realized they had been in the water for so long. They made a run for shore.

"Submarines! Surface now!" Paula screamed.

The submarines surfaced cutting off the Starmen's only escape route.

"Fire!" Paula ordered, firing missiles of her own. After two quick volleys of shots the Starmen were no more.

The monkeys screamed all the way back to the south shore.

A little bit later...

Bingo stood in front of all the monkeys in the great hall under the Stonehenge base. Bingo started his speech.

"My fellow monkeys, today is a grand day. For the first time in this god awful war, we attacked the enemy. Not only have we launched our first offensive, but we have scored our first victory. And by some sort of luck, or just the craziness of war we have won our first battle without a single casualty. But, do not think this is the end, because we have only begun to fight a war...

Jeff, who was listening to Bingo's speech, had to leave in the middle it because his communicator started beeping.

"Jeff! This is Ness. "The Tessie watching club told us they saw some Starmen heading for the lab!"

"Okay, Ness, you must leave immediately." Jeff said into the communicator as he visioned the two skeletons down by the lab.

"Why? It's just a few Starmen." protested Ness.

"Just do it! Get my dad and get out of there!" Jeff yelled into the device. "When we arrived at Stonehenge we saw two dead bodies by the remains of the lab! No who do you think those bodies belong to?!"

"Right, we leave right away...click." Ness said.

Jeff walked back into the great hall to hear the rest of Bingo's speech.

".....and that is all I have to say about that." Bingo said as he stepped of the podium while the monkeys cheered and clapped."

"Darn, I missed it.." Jeff said under his breath.

* * * * * *

"Quick! Dr. Andonuts! We have to leave immediately!" Ness yelled as he ran around the lab gathering his belongings.

"But.. We" Dr. Andonuts started to say.

"Do it!" Ness yelled. "Starmen will be here any minute, we have to flee!"

"It you insist." Dr. Andonuts complained.

Ness and Dr. Andonuts were barely out the door of the lab before they could see the oncoming Starmen!

Quick! Line up behind me!" Ness ordered as they teleported to Summers.

In Summers...

"Well what now?" Dr. Andonuts asked. "And why Summers."

"Because my house is blocked off by police and your lab is probably ransacked right now." Ness explained. "Besides, Summers has the best hotels around."

Ness and Dr. Andonuts entered the Summers hotel. Ness looked over the front desk to see the clerk he saw earlier with Paula.

"Uhhh... Ness, I believe we have uh...meet before?" The clerk stuttered."Please except our hospitality and stay in a special room....."

"Okay...." Ness said in confusion.

"Let's go then." Dr. Andonuts said.

The desk clerk carried their bags to the "special" room.

"What do we do now?" Dr. Andonuts asked.

"I was going back to Onett to try and find my kidnaped parents." Ness told him. "Besides, my sister is probably lonely down at the police station.

Ness went outside and teleported to Onett. Moments later Ness arrived before the police station. He walked in to see his sister, Tracy, siting at a table answering the police's questions. She stood up when Ness entered the room.

"Big bro!" She squeaked. "Did you hear the bad news?"

"Yes, but my friends are in the future trying to figure out where our parents are and why the climate has been so awkward in Winters. But all they have done so far joined in some monkey war..." Ness said then explained the whole story to Tracy.

* * * * * *

The monkeys started to leave the great hall when an alarm sounded. The room instantly turned into chaos.

"Where under attack!"

"All troops to your battle stations!"

"Send out the escape pods!"

"Jeff, Paula, Poo come with me!" Bingo ordered.

"The base is under attack!" Bingo yelled grabbing a firearm. "But how did these metallic creatures cross the lake?"

"Well what do we do?" Paula asked.

"Escape while we can." Poo suggested.

"No." Bingo said sternly. "We must evacuate the others first."

Bingo walked out to the balcony overlooking the control center. Down below the monkeys were jumping into escape pods that could hold around twenty monkeys each. The doors at the north end of the room began to break as Starmen entered the building. Then the last escape pod was launched.

"It's just us now." Jeff said.

"What do we do now?" Poo asked.

"Running would be a good idea." Paula said as she started into a sprint followed by the others.

"This way!" Bingo yelled. "There's a secret escape pod in the throne room."

Poo, Paula, Jeff, and Bingo got into the escape pod and rocketed out of Winters. Inside Jeff noticed the pod was designed much like the Sky Runner.

"You know what?" Jeff asked. "We came here to see what and who was causing the attacks on Fourside, Ness's parents being kidnaped, and Winters strange climate change. But we haven't done any of it."

"I bet you that those problems and this war are from the same source." Bingo said.

"We think thats true also." Paula said. "But how do we put an end to all these problems?"

"Well, I remember Ness saying that the only signs of life he could trace were coming from Winters." Poo explained.

"He probably traced us monkeys." said Bingo."Starmen aren't living things."

"Very true." Jeff agreed. "But, that still doesn't answer where we start looking."

"But this is a big operation, Jeff." Paula said. "In order to control a whole army of Starmen, a climate changer thingy, and prison cells for Ness's parents this base must be huge."

"But how could we miss it then?" Jeff asked.

"We're about to land." Bingo said.

"Where?" They all asked.

"A place called Lost Underworld." Bingo told them. "Better buckle up."

The round pod shook and cracked as it hit the ground. Bingo opened the door and jumped out onto the prehistoric landscape. A nearby ego orb instantly rolled towards them in look of fresh meat.

"Run!" Bingo yelled as he started to flee.

Jeff, Poo, and Paula just stood there. The gigantic rock kept coming towards them. Poo used PSI Freeze alpha and the ego orb instantly stopped there like a block of ice five feet away from them.

"Hey what are you doing in the dinosaur cage?"said a voice.

They turned around to see a small green character.

"A Tenda!?" Paula said shocked with surprise.

"Com'n!" the Tenda whined. "You can't be trapped in the cage!"

The Tenda lead Jeff and company into a nearby cave surrounded by a small picket fence.

"There, your all safe and dandy." The Tenda said proudly as he motioned for Paula, Jeff, Poo, and Bingo to enter his cave.

"Have a seat!" the Tenda said pointing to some rocks.

"Me fix some yummy soup!" the Tenda said cheerfully.

"Looks like he's glad to have some company." Jeff whispered.

"Hey! Tenda. What's your name?" Poo asked.

"Hatter." The Tenda replied.

"Okay Hatter." Jeff said. "Do have possibly know of or heard of any kind of base around here?"

"No, nobody here but us few Tendas." Hatter explained. "There used to be a lot of Tendas, but some left to join group of Monkeys, like you." Hatter said, pointing to Bingo.

"Are there any areas that you found peculiar?" Jeff questioned.

"Well this one place is.." Hatter caught himself and stopped talking. "N-never mind."

"WHAT PLACE!" Jeff, Paula, and Poo yelled at once.

"Uh. Secret place." Hatter finally choked out. "Hiding behind wall with lights. But only people with high caste are aloud to go in. I shouldn't have told you that. Boss well be very displeased.

"What's back there?" Jeff asked

Hatter paused and then said, "Duno, Boss doesn't let anyone see.

"Take us too this boss." Poo commanded.

"Can't." Hatter explained. "Only people of importance can go see the boss. Not travelers like yourselves.

"I'm the Prince of Dalamm." Poo replied.

"Oh. In that case yo may see the Boss." Hatter said as he stood up. "We must set out now. If we are to see the Boss by nightfall."

Bingo, Hatter, Paula, Jeff, and Poo got up and headed back outside the cave and the picket fence. Soon the came across a much bigger cave with two very large Tendas guarding the entrance.

"Who goes there?" One guard asked.

Uh.. It is I ,uh Hatter." said the Tenda.

"Hatter!?" said the shocked guards. "Boss won't like seeing you. You may not pass.

"Look foo'." Bingo bravely said. "My name is Mr. Monkey with a 'tude about to kick your butt. Now let us trough."

"Your point is very well taking Mr. Monkey with a 'tude about to kick your butt." replied one guard. "You may pass."

Bingo had a smug look on his face when they passed the guards and into the cave. Lay before them was a huge cave with massive pillars and many Tendas walking around. Paula noticed how much more better looking the cave Tendas were than Hatter. Hatter Pushed his way through the crowd until he saw a huge Tenda dressed in beautiful robes.

"Vat iz thiz?"The boss instantly said upon seeing Hatter and crew. "Hatter? Iz thiz you? Why did you came back."

"What are you hiding from us?" Paula and Jeff demanded.

"Vat are youz talking about?"The Boss replied. "I have too many important things to do like how to figure out how to defeat the Starmen around here."

"There are Starmen around here!? Where!" Poo responded.

"Everywhere! I Don't know where there base is. I heard a lot of Starmen were killed in Winters. Left from here to go on a vacation. Bingo, the works of you I presume. I have told you all I know, now leave!" The Boss pounded his staff and Tenda guards came to show them the exit.

Back outside it was almost nightfall.

"We seem to have hit a dead end." Jeff sighed.

Jeff, Poo, Paula, Hatter, and Bingo walked back to Hatters cave. Not knowing where to go from here.
