MoonBound: Part One

By: nessdude15


It was the end of another lazy summer day in Onett, and Ness was ready to go to sleep. Sitting on the foot of his bed, he began to reminisce about the year before, when he and his friends defeated the alien cosmic destroyer called Giygas.

"Good times" thought Ness as he began to doze off. Awaking suddenly, Ness remembered that the next day was his fifteenth birthday!

"This is going to be a great party with all of my friends coming..", trailed off Ness as he began to doze again.

Later that night

"What the heck was that!?" yelled Ness after hearing a voice in his sleep.

"It's me, Ness!" the voice replied reassuringly.

"Paula, is that you?" Ness asked the strange voice.

"Yes, Ness" the voice answered.

"Why are you doing this in the middle of the night, Paula?" Ness asked.

"Because I need your help!…The world needs your help!" Paula replied in an urgent tone.

"What do you mean?" asked a slightly confused Ness.

"Do you remember Pokey?" asked Paula.

"Of course." Answered Ness.

"Well, I believe he traveled to Giygas's home planet and informed his followers of Giygas's defeat." Explained Paula. "And now, they're coming to destroy the earth, and the ones that killed their beloved leader."

"And that would be me" replied Ness."

"Not just you, ya blockhead!" replied an annoyed Paula. "Jeff, Poo, and I helped you!" she added.

"Oh yea" replied Ness

"Well anyway, they captured me Ness! I think I'm in some kind of spaceship with metallic walls and flashing lights".

"Hang on, let me get Jeff, and we'll come save you!" exclaimed Ness.

"About Jeff" replied Paula in a sad tone.

"What about him?" asked Ness.

"Jeff was killed in the attempt to save me from the aliens." Paula explained.

"WHAT!?!?" shouted Ness. "That can't be true!" he added

"I'm afraid it is." Replied Paula.

"Ok, just one more question, Paula. Exacly how did you know all of this?"

"Cause I'm psycic, silly!" replied Paula.

"Oh yea" replied Ness feeling kind of dumb

"I have to go Ness, they're coming! Go and seek out Poo in Dalaam for help!"

"Paula! Come back Paula!" yelled Ness, but no reply came.

"I'm tired, I'll save the world in the morning" said Ness groggily.

The next morning, Ness woke up with hopes the night before had all been a dream, but after finding Paula's ribbon at the foot of his bed, he knew what he had to do.

"It's Paula's favorite ribbon…I guess it wasn't a dream" Ness said to himself.

Ness ate breakfast, and headed out the door, but his mom stopped him.

"And just where do you think you're going, young man?" asked Ness's mom.

"To save the world again" replied Ness nonchalantly

"ok, just remember to come by and eat steak every now and then, and I'll cover for you at school." Said Ness's mom.

"Thanks mom, Ness replied before walking out the door.

"Some birthday present I get. My girlfriend gets kidnapped again, my best friend is killed, and I have to go and save this stupid world from alien invaders again." grumbled Ness as he trudged through the dew covered grass that was his front lawn.

Awaiting him at his mailbox was Pickey Minch, brother of Pokey Minch, Ness's arch nemesis. Unlike his big brother, Picky was a good boy who cared for others and was even the newest member of Ness's treehouse club.

"What brings you to my mailbox?" asked Ness with a faked smile.

"Last night I had this strange feeling that Pokey is still alive somewhere." Said Pickey.

"Really, and what made you decide to see me about it?" asked Ness.

"Well, I know he's your evil enemy and all, but he's still my brother, so I was hoping I could come along with you on one of your journeys to maybe find clues to his whereabouts." Replied Pokey.

"ok, I could use all the help I can get right now" Ness decided.

"Maybe we'll even find him!" joked Picky.

"yea, me might just do that" replied Ness with another fake grin.

So Ness and Picky walked down the path taking time to notice the peace and tranquility of the birds chirping and the morning sun glowing at the begining of a new day in their currently peaceful suburban neighborhood.

"So where exactly are we going?" asked Picky

"To Dalaam in the far east." Ness replied.

"oh...and why exactly are we going there of all places?" asked Picky.

"It's a long story...I'm sure you'll find out soon enough." answered Ness. "But first, we have got to stop at the drugstore." Ness added.

"ok" Pokey replied. "but why"

"because you need some equipment" Ness answered.

Ness walked in and bought Picky a brand new yo-yo and a baseball cap, then walked out of the store.

"D'oh!" exclaimed Ness. "I forgot my Gutsy Bat and my cap! Wait right here while I call my sister."

After dodging a few cars on his way across the street, he finally made it inside the drugstore

"How rude! I save the world and their precious little lives and they don't even let me cross the street!" muttered Ness under his breath as he picked up the phone reciever.

Ness called his sister Tracy, who was now president of Escargo Express, and asked her to send him his stuff. A few minutes later a French-looking guy ran up to him and gave him his Gutsy bat and his baseball cap.

"Ok, we're all set!" said Ness as he was preparing to teleport.

"And how are we going to get to Dalaam, Ness?" asked Picky with a concerned face.

"just hold on" replied Ness with a grin.

Ness and Picky shot off through the air and in what seemed like no time at all, they arrived in Dalaam.

"Wow, Ness that was awesome can we-

Both Ness and Picky stood and looked on in horror at a once peaceful eastern paradise now in flame and ruins...
