EPISODE I:
THE CHOSEN FELLOWSHIP
Chapters 1, 2.
Chief Strong sat at his oak desk in the Onett police station. Things had been quiet here after an invasion from an alien species that had threatened to destroy all life on the planet.
Strong could remember what happened in his home town, the invasion, the endless line of grotesque looking creatures. All that was three monthes ago now, most of the citizens still haden't recovered yet.
All seemed right now, and then it hit. Strong's radio reciever cackeled, the same white one he had had for years now. He picked it up and pressed the button marked "RECEIVE", he listened.
The voices cackeled...
"*SHHHHCK!* Strong, do you read? *KRRRSSH!* *CLICK!* This is unit six! It's urgent --*SHSSSH!* *KRRSHH!* I need immediate backup! *SHSHSH!!!!* CLICK!* This is huge get----
*CLICK*
And then there was scilence...
"What..." Stong said to himself.
Strong jumped out of his chair, and rushed to a pegboard. He grabbed two sets of keys, he would need both.
On his way out he jumped in his car and sped off, he was on his way to the ocean side of Onett, also known as, Unit Six.
Chapter 1
A man sat in a chair. It was a recliener, he was reading a newspaper. The man had lived here a long time, but had never actually been home enough. Well, he was home now, and he was home to make the best of it. He put down his newspaper at the sound of feet coming down the stairs. It was his son.
The boy looked at the man. A sence of mystery between the two. They have not actually seen each other in a long time. But had heard each others voiced. Then, came a swarm of emotion.
"Dad!" The boy cried, and came running.
"Son, Ness! My son!" The father knelt got up to hug him. The hugged, and for the first time in monthes, were together again.
"Oh Dad! I knew you would come home. I mean finally, how long has it been?"
"Too long son, too long."
The father raised his head, and to see his wife standing in the doorway that lead to the upper portion of the home. "Well, I'm glad to see a reunion." The father came to his wife.
"It's my son. Oh man, I am glad to be home. So Ness, whats changed around here since I've been away?"
"Oh, nothing really. I'm still making my life up in school. I was behind like you can't imagine. Not to mention, my teachers never gonna trust mom again." Ness answered his fathers question.
"Oh yeah, and I bought a house" Ness added.
"What?... You bought a house? Okay, Ness, I understand I was paying you a lot , but was the house something you needed to buy?" Ness's father looked a little concerned.
"Well, it was $7500, and the sleazy realator tricked me in to it."
"Did you know about this?" The father motioned to the mother.
"Well, kinda. I wanted him to tell you soon after you got home." The mother replied.
"Okay, it was only 75, I guess, well...Hey, you wanna go see it?" Ness's dad now became interested.
"Sure! It's a little decrepit though..." Ness replied
"Alright" The father said "We're off!"
Ness and his father walked outside, Ness started down the dirt road when his dad stopped him: "Ness! Ness! Wait, I brought the car back!"
"Heh, cool! I guess it's faster this way."
Ness and son got in to the car. They chatted along the way. As father and son usually do. All the time Ness gave his father directions on how exactly to get to where they were going.
"Wow! It's beachfront!" Ness's dad said, now really wanting to see it.
When they arrived at the road behind the hospital that took them to the house, there was a road block.
"Eh, go figure, welcome to Onett" Ness said to his father, then there was a tapping at the window, it was Chief Strong.
"Well, I'll be! It's Ninten! Man, how longs it been? Well, welcome back to town! Hows Ana?
"Ahh, well, well well, if it isn't my best buddy police officer Teddy Strong. I'm good, so is Ana. So anyhow, Teddy, I need to get through to the ocean, Ness here bought a house I wanna see it."
"Ness! Nice to see ya bud, you've gotten stronger since I've seen ya."
"Yeah, I guess I have, thanks Chief. You and dad know each other?"
"Well, we met as kids, more like early teens. There were some unusual circumstances. But about this road here, well, Ninten, I don't think I can let you pass... Sorry man."
"Teddy...why?"
Well, It's kinda of a confidential slash we don't want the citizens to panic again kinda thing. Well, now that I think about it, you guys are kinda special case, so. Pass QUICKLY now.
Strong moved the block and the crew passed in, Ninten stopped the car, as Ness looked from behind him. Chief strong hopped in the back seat.
"Alright Teddy, where to?"
"Just go straight for now"
Ninten drove the car forward, then briefly, an image passed through his mind, it was an image of Mt. Itoi. Were he had lived before. He shook it from his head and continued driving. Ness looked out the window, from his window he could see police cruisers and a few black SUV's, with government plates on them.
"Okay, now, just let me talk" Strong said.
A man came up to the window and saw Strong in the back seat, the man quickly went to the rear window.
"Chief. Are these folks cleared?"
"Yeah, they are. They need to see the site. ONLY them. Just because they're here doesn't mean this is a public exposition, now go watch the gate Luetinenint!"
The man left, and Ninten pulled his car up to the shore, Strong got out.
"Okay Ness, son, just like you I have no clue as to what is going on here, so, when you get out, just watch your back, alright. Tensions are super high here."
Ness got out and went to the the shore, he looked to the water. And he froze.
Chapter 2
The human mind is a strange thing, as well as it is a complex one. The memories that a healthy mind can withtain, is not precievable. When a person may not be able to remeber their breakfast food, they can easily remeber their credit card PIN number, or their name. But the memory works in a strange way.
All of us have occasional moments of De Je Vu, some more than others. In a case of two, people have seen things as infants, and then seen things similar, only to get the feeling that they have seen them before. But some memories don't need De Je Vu, some are big memories. Memories that refuse to die.
**********************************************************
Ninten got out of his car, he walked over to Teddy and a few of the government agents that were siting there. Teddy looked to him: "Well, we aren't really sure exactly whats going on in the water. I've never really seen anything like this in Unit Six before, it's really strange. But, uhh... Ninten, I need to talk to you over here, alone"
Strong and Ninten walked over behind a police cruiser: "Look, Ninten. Have you seen the sky lately?"
Ninten looked up, he noticed for the first time that there were black clouds that almost seemed to be circling over them, the clouds were familier to Ninten, although he couldn't pinpoint where he had seen them before.
"I dunno Teddy, I don't like this. This place has never felt this alienated before to me. The reason I bought here is 'cause it's a million miles away from Podunk or Ellay" Ninten wes gazing into the increasingly dark sky.
"I don't know whats gonna happen here, and I don't wanna be around when somethin' happens either."
Ninten nodded his head, he looked around for Ness, he found him staring off on to the coast. The black clouds stretched beyond the horizon."
"Ninten, the reason I let you through is to show you something that these people are here looking at, come with me."
Stong walked to the shore next to Ness, Ninten walked in uniform. When Ninten saw it, he could not speak.
"Dad, what is this?" Ness spoke, fear starting in his voice.
Ninten looked at the object in the water, it was a memory that had refused to die, this was something Ninten knew, something he had tried to forget, but never could.
"Well, Ninten? What is it? I thought you might know." Strong said, gazing at the large metallic object in the water.
Ness looked at the thing "It looks like a mothership or something I--"
Could it be Giygas? No, No, No! It couldn't be. I saw nothing like this when I fought him, nothing! What is this!
But Ninten knew what it was. He gazed in to Giegue's Mothership. It was the same one his Great-Grand-Father George had and his wife Maria had been abducted on, way back in the early 1900's. Ninten's mind flashed:
"NINTEN! I CAN SAVE YOU, AND ONLY YOU!"
This is real
"NINTEN, WE SHALL MEET AGAIN!"
It's been too long, I can't do this again!
Ninten murmered under his breath "Giegue, we have met again"
"Dad, what is this? You won't answer! You're really starting to freak me out" Ness said, to his nearly comatose father.
"This, Ness, is something that I though, and dearly hoped, I would never see again. Ness, it's time I told you something, I never have before. Something that I never wanted to have to tell you, but it looks as if, it has returned. Teddy, you know what I'm talking about, c'mon lets go over here."
The three walked over to the police cruiser again, Ninten proceded to tell the story of how three to four of them counquored the evil-emptor at the time, Giegue, and what Teddy knew, he added.
"It's been so long, Ninten, man, I got my revenge, but I never wanted to have to go through this again." Teddy looked at the sky.
"Man, dad. You never told me you had PSI. I thought I was the first one!"
Ness was amazed at his father's newly discovered talent.
"Well, I don't know if it works anymore, I haven't used it since I fought Giegue years back, but I had most of the powers you did. Your mother had most of the powers that your girlfriend, uh, whats-her-face, Paula, did."
"Well, gee dad, thats being considerate, now, what are we gonna do about this 'Giegue' thing?"
Teddy looked back down "Well, why don't we round up the rest of the old crew. I wonder what that Andonuts guy is doing these days?"
"One way to find out. Err, lets see if I can still teleport" Ninten tried to concentrate, but it proved to not be affectave anymore.
"*Sigh* Well, I guess my brains too old, I can't remeber teleport, but it's probably best that we get the second member and pick up Ana back at the house."
Teddy was already on his way to the car: "Well, are we just gonna stand here or are we gonna do somethin' today?"
The three piled in to the car and drove up the streets to the house. When they got out Ness's mom was waiting for them.
"Hey! Look! It's Teddy! How are ya'! I haven't seen you in ages!" Ness's mom said.
"Well, I've been the police chief for a while, maybe you just haven't recognized me, Ana, you were like that. *Snicker*" Teddy managed a laugh.
"Har Har, anyhow what does this house look like?"
"Well, we never really made it to the house, instead, we have some intresting info, uhh, hon, why don't we go inside?"
"Alright Ninten, you seem to know what you're doing. Lets go"
When they had made it inside, Ninten said one sentance, and it was obvious to Ana what the scenario was: "Ana, these black clouds outside, to they remind you of Mt. Itoi?"
Ana was silent, she knew. She knew what was going on: "Well, this isn't what I was hoping to hear, well now, hmmm..."
"So mom, I hear you know PSI? How's your skill level?" Ness was asking, almost as if he were testing the water.
"I don't know Ness, I haven't used them in so long I don't kn--" Ana eyed a glass of water on the table, she started concentrating, slowly the water started freezing, but it was so slow. Ana broke concentration, exhausted.
"Wow, that was a lot harder than it should have been, what are we gonna do? We're too old Ninten!" Ana looked depressed.
"Ana, it's just been too long, we have to work our abilities back up. It's like they say, if ya don't use it, ya loose it."
"Pfff! Please you guys" Ness said from a chair in the corner "You almost can't even use PSI anymore, I'm gonna make a few stops and I'll be back in ten minutes." With that, Ness was out the door.
AK: Orignially, I was under the impression that Teddy's name was "Rock". So if you see something like "said Rock" know that it is supposed to say Teddy.
