Oct 2001 The Strange Story of Abnormal EARTHBOUND Presence Halloween Tale!!! CHAPTER 1, PART 1 Dramatic music plays. It was the 29th day... I wiped the sweat off my forehead and- "HEY! You there! You, yeah, you in the blue striped shirt with brown pants, yeah, you!" Ness yelled pointing at some strange kid who seemed to not know the year's fashion. "Well, you there. You wanna know the story THAT bad? Well then sit down, I'll leave out the embarrasing parts though!" "You mean like the part-" The boy was cut off. "SHUT UP!" "Make me!" "PSI DUCT TAPE OMEGA!" Ness shut the boy's mouth with PSI and told him the story. It was a dark and stormy day... ACTUALLY... It was a beautiful and sunny day. Well, on October 1st school was cancelled. Tracy jumped up and down and started to catch up with the 778687686 orders to Escargo Express. Of course, Ness immediately ran to the phone to call his friends. "Hey, Paula, WAZZZZZZZUP???" He asked through the phone. "You know school's off, huh Ness?" Paula asked cheerfully. "Is it normal that I call you in the morning?" "Well, yes." Ness blushed. "Well, let's call over the others and have a PARTY!" Ness roared. "What about your mom?" Paula bursted his bubble. "Don't mind her!" He just blew another... He had no idea what this month would be like, no idea whatsoever... HAPPY HALLOWEEN! "WHAT? WHAT? IT'S OVER?" The kid yelled. "Tricked ya'!" Ness laughed. "Listen up 'cause it gets spooky!" A few hours later, it arrived... I mean: They arrived. Sorry about that spookiness. *DING DONG* Ness opened the door. "Oooohhhh yessssssss..." Ness cackled. "AHH!" Jeff ran in. "You broke the TV AGAIN? Do I have to fix it again?" "Shut up, Jeff." "Good day to you!" Poo said. "Yeah, yeah..." Just as Ness greeted Paula it happened! His mom farted! Oh okay.. But get ready for this! *SCRREEEEAMMMM* *BREAKING WINDOW* * Da DA DA* *CAT SCREAM* *MOAN* "WHAT THE HECK?" Paula screamed. *RINNNGGGG* "Oh, the phone." Ness ran to the phone. As he picked it up, he heard a hoarse, evil voice. "I know where you live!" It said. "Shut up Pokey!" Ness replied. "Who is this 'Pokey'?" The voice asked. Ness hung up. "Who was that?" Jeff asked. "Pokey." "Oh." CHAPTER 2 "I-I'm s-scared!' The boy stuttered. "HA! Well, listen for more!" Ness chuckled. "B-but I'm s-scared, Mr. N-Ness..." "THAT'S TOO BAD! And I'm not a Mr. yet, I'm around 15!" After causing mayahem in the house, most of it playing Eminem in Ness's room several times, they heard something! *WOMAN SCREAM* "MOM!" Ness jumped to his feet, took off his high powered discman and grabbed his Legendary Bat. Paula, Jeff and Poo equipped their weapons, too. When they got to the hall, they were in shock... "U-urban zombies!" Ness stuttered. "Yes, but, Master, they are URBAN ZOMBIES." Poo reassured him. They were all over the hall, eating Ness's... NESS'S MOM! Ness and friends encountered Zombie Swarm! Ness attacks! 134 damage to Zombie Swarm! Paula uses PSI Fire O! 324 damage to Zombie Swarm! Jeff attacks! 112 damage to Zombie Swarm. Poo uses Mirror! No effect! "Our attacks, they're weaker!" Ness said in fear. Zombie Swarm attacks! Mortal damage to Ness! Mortal damage to Paula! Mortal damage to Jeff! Mortal damage to Poo! Ness was knocked out! Paula was knocked out! Jeff was knocked out! Poo was knocked out! YOU LOSE! Hours later, they found themselves locked in the Onett HOTEL. "G-guys, w-what happened?" Jeff asked in terror. "Whatever they did, it must've been bad, because we didn't get an extra go!" Ness said with a drum beat soon after. Poo and Paula stood there speechless... Zombie guards! Zombie guards with shotguns! DETAILED FIGHT Ness took out his Legendary Bat which they couldn't take away because it was meant for him. The Zombie Guards charged up their shotguns! Ness ran over to them and whacked one in the head. He backflipped to dodge a bullet and whacked it in the face again! A Guard kicked Ness in the stomach and grabbed him by the scruff of the neck! "Ness!" Paula yelled. "Ness!" Jeff yelled. "MASTER!" Poo yelled. Paula began a silent prayer. CHAPTER 3 Drake woke up with a quick start. He played gameboy for a couple of minutes then remembered his dream. Drake had a vision that seemed almost... Real. In his dream he saw a cute girl about his age and she was talking to him. The girl in the pink dress said that she was a friend of his that he didn't know. She said she needed help. She said her name was Paula Polestar and she was stuck with Ness Habwaggle, Jeff Andonuts and Poo the Prince in the Onett Hotel... Then she was cut off by moaning and he woke up. Drake was a 14 year old boy with black, spiked hair, a liscence to kill and a big belief in monsters and other abnormal things. He usually wore a black leather jacket and a gameboy or a book at his face. Drake Elggawbah lived in Summers and knew where he had to go. He knew he had to head to the capital of Eagleland AND he knew that the story was getting a bit too dramatic. He ran to his mom and grabbed a frozen waffle. He ate it on a hurry to his garage. He opened it up and ran in for his guns. He grabbed a Machine Gun and a Pistol and a Bag of Unlimited Ammo. Drake knew it would take weeks to get to Onett, and so he had his gameboy handy. He also managed to get away with his dad's motorcycle. As he was driving down the road to Fiveak he was hit hard in the head! He fell off his bike and stared in horror at what was behind him. A cloaked man, completely covered in black because his hood was on was inback of Drake. He carried a scythe! He charged for Drake but he dodged quickly and declared the start of a Matrix Style Detailed Battle. MATRIX STYLE DETAILED BATTLE Cloak jumped into the air ready to slash with his scythe. Everyone froze! Cloak spun around in mid air... Everything went back to normal and Cloak slashed Drake in the shoulder! Drake took out his machine gun and fired! Everything slowed down... Cloak did some Matrix Moves of Dodging but then 1 bullet hit him in arm! Everything went back to normal. Clutching his shoulder, Drake ran from battle with his guns and hopped onto his dad's motorcycle to drive away. "Hah, foolish boy." The Cloak cackled. "I, Death, am unable to be hidden from... Try running, try hiding but you shall NEVER get away!" Death ran after the boy in long strides as if he was on rollerblades but his feet were unseen. "Well, kid? How did you like THAT?" Ness laughed an evil laugh. "You're a mad man!" The boy almost ran from the house when a metal door fell from the sky, over the door. "Look kid... We have an invisible audience and if you leave they'll think I'm talking to myself! So just go to sleep and let me go on with my story!" CHAPTER 1, PART 2 Ness, Paula, Jeff and Poo were in need of desperate help... Drake wasn't near there but they've been locked up for a day. Just then, their hopes went up. Frank jumped out of the back of the couch and stuck a knife to the remaining guard's head. *DA DA DA* Seeing as Frank couldn't kill someone without starting a battle, here we have it! Frank snuck up on Zombie Guard! Frank slashed the Zombie Guard with a knife! 556 damage to Zombie Guard! Zombie Guard let out an ear piercing moan! 127 damage to Frank! Frank attacked! SMAAAASH! 467 damage to Zombie Guard! Zombie Guard returned to the ashes of the earth! HE WINS!!! The gang was amazed at how strong Frank was outside of a detailed battle. "Guys, c'mon! I've got the keys here!" Frank showed them the keys. Frank joined the party! "I'M NOT SO SURE ABOUT THAT!" A booming voice yelled. Suddenly, the ceiling caved in! The gang, with the new addition of Frank, jumped out of the way of the falling rocks. It was Pokey... Or was it? The figure that landed was some zombie and demon put together. It had enormous fists and no, it wasn't Pokey. DETAILED BATTLE The giant, demonic Zombie lurched forward to the team. Frank jumped onto the creature and stabbed it in the stomach! It threw Frank off as if he was just a fly. The creature grabbed for the keys but was set on fire by Poo's PSI Fire Omega 2. He didn't look so healthy anymore. He was running in circles blowing at the fire... It got bigger when he blew! He roared and whacked Poo with his burning fist! Jeff fired at him a couple of times with his new and improved Badder Than Baddest Death Ray. It only hurt a bit but soon enough, the thing smashed Jeff into the pile of the ones who stood up to him. Ness, mad as ever, rammed into the thing. It just whacked him off. Paula was about to run at it, but he pummeled the ground, cracking it. Now Ness was on a different side than Paula and the thing was on Paula's side. Paula used PSI Ice Omega 2 to freeze it's stomach! It melted the ice with it's arm and whacked Paula into the pile. The demonic zombie's fist was now burnt black by the flame that finally came out. Ness, mad as ever in his whole life, SMAAASHED! it into the wall. He jumped across the gap and continously hit it over the head with hs baseball bat. The demonic zombie tossed him into the pile. The zombie thing rubbed it's hands together. "AND THAT'S THAT." It said in it's booming voice. The battle had lasted a whole day! Suddenly, when all was thought to be done for, a pumpkin got stuck on the creature's head. "MMMM! MMMM MMMMMM MMM MMMMM!!!!!!!" It screamed, muffled by the pumpkin. The thrower of the pumpkin jumped in the window. It was a short skeleton wearing a cowboy hat and a rope over it's shoulder. "Happy Halloween! And be happy, I used my last pumpkin to say you der', pardner'." The skeleton said. The pile fell sideways, and they all landed on their feet. "You're a friggin' skeleton, shouldn't you be a bad guy?" Jeff asked. "Well, I reckon I should der', pardner'." "Gee, why are we still in battle mode?" Ness asked. "Because the author's an idiot." Frank answered. "Okay, much bett'r now." The cowboy skeleton said. "Call me Bob Da' Brute or BB for short." "Well, someone is SUPPOSED to be saving us and he isn't supposed to be dead so this is strange. "Why are ya' here anyways, pardners'?" Poo told him the whole story 'cause Poo couldn;t wait to talk. CHAPTER 2, PART 2 "Hahahah! HAHAHAH! HAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" Ness cackled evily. "*YAWN*You're making this up, anyways." The kid yawned. "Oh yeah, sure. Hey, BB! C'mere!" "D-don't!" Still on the road, still riding for his life, Drake somehow found a way to Fourside. He hadn't slept for two or three days so he wanted to sleep at the hotel. He just finished the road and parked inside the hotel. He asked for a room, gave the manager 6888876767 S (Summers money) and went to sleep. While he was asleep, the manager was talking with Death. "Yeah, boss. I have him right here *snort*. Where's the cash?" The manager asked. Death handed the manager 76786878686756565476787565674576767564675765876789 $ and the manager unmasked himself to be... POKEY! Pokey called Ness... "Not home, darn." Pokey called the hotel. "Hello, is this Ness?" Pokey asked. "Yes.' Ness said. "I know where you live!" Pokey cackled. "And I have 76786878686756565476787565674576767564675765876789 $!" "Shut up, Pokey!" "Darn." Ness hung up. The next morning, Drake awoke. He played gameboy for a few minutes into he had a scythe to his head. "HEY! It's you, huh Death? I thought you chickened out." "Well, think again!" Death runs into Drake's room! "Hey, how about a real battle start?" Death scowled. Drake attacks! 234 damage to Death! Death uses PSI Darkness and Spooky Stuff Omega! 432 damage to Drake! Drake tosses a grenade at Death! He forget to take off the pin... Death throws it back, keeping the pin. Drake throws it back and shoots it with his pistol when Death catches it! 766 damage to Death! Death attacks! 332 damage to Drake! Drake attacks! Hmm... Death seems to have disappeared! YOU WIN!!! Drake was happy and calm AND hurt. He also started to think that this fanfic wouldn't win anything. Then he went to the bright side: If the author types that he might get disqualified. Then he remembered that would be the dark side. Then he cussed at the author for not continuing... Drake ran out of the room and out of the hotel. He got on his dad's motorcycle to chase after Pokey who he noticed out of the corner of his eye. DETAILED FIGHT Chasing the fat Pokey, Drake noticed another day had passed by and he also noticed this probably won't last till Halloween. He took out his machine gun and fired madly at Pokey! Somehow, Pokey dodged the bullets! Pokey farted and flew a speed boost. Drake, with a nose pin on his nose, shot more at Pokey. Pokey tripped and hit his head first on a kitten that popped when he hit it. "A black cat crossed my path!" He said, getting up and walking slowly backwards. He fell onto the front of Drake's motorcycle! He did a backflip into the seat, behind Drake. Pokey hit Drake hard over the head, knocking him out. CHAPTER 3, PART 2 "That Drake guy's cool!" The kid said. "Em hem!" Ness cleared his throat. "It's only 8:00, we have much longer till Midnight when the zombie's strike. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH." The gang, with the new addition of BB, knew they had to find the source of the zombies. Ness led them to the producement area, Threed Graveyard. They were walking up a hill when... *CRACK* *CRACK* *FOOOOOOOOOP* *BANG* *CRACK* *CRACK* *FOOOOOOOOOP* *BANG* Zombies were breaking out of the ground! (FOOOOOOOOOP means that they're jumping) They started staggering down the hill, moaning. "I think... We should back up..." Ness faked a smile. They all backed away slowly. "Moooooooaaaaannnnn...." The zombies said, simultaneously. The gang turned around and ran to hide behind a grave. *CRACK* *CRACK* *FOOOOOOOOOP* *BANG* A zombie jumped out, where they were. Poo took out his Sword of Kings and cut it's head off. Jeff took out a gun and aimed over the grave. DETAILED FIGHT Jeff, hiding behind the grave, started shooting the zombies. *CRACK* *CRACK* *FOOOOOOOOOP* *BANG* *GUNSHOT* *HEAD EXPLODES* *CRACK* *CRACK* *FOOOOOOOOOP* *BANG* *GUNSHOT* *HEAD EXPLODES* "Are we clear?" Paula asked. Frank put a finger to his mouth. BB whipped his rope, out over the grave. It managed to grab a little kid and he swung him behind the grave. "Hello? AHHH! AHHHH! Yar' a monsta'!" BB screamed. "NO! I'm dressed up for Halloween!" The kid answered in shock. "This never happened, and it's really Halloween today?" The kid nodded and walked away, scared. Drake blinked his eyes. "Where am I?" "You are in the land of HECK." Death answered. "WHAT? WHAT? HELP!! GET ME OUT!" He screamed. "Actually, you're at my hideout." "Oh, phew..." Drake changed his mind soon after when he saw he was in a room of guillotines. Ness started to wonder... He had to find out what he was doing. "Ummm... Guys?" Ness asked. "Yeah?" Frank responded in a question. "Well, what ARE we doing?" "I suppose we should be avenging your mom's death, Ness. And judging by what we can do... We can just find her body, restore it and finish off the zombies. " Jeff answered, thoughtfully. "Yeah... Sure! How?" "PSI Healing Omega, stupid." The gang ran to the the tunnel to Saturn Valley. "Ever thought... The Belch Base hasn't been used for some time now!" Paula said. The gang ran down into the tunnel and looked around. "Gee, um, guys?" BB said, scared. "What?" Poo asked. "E', look above us!" The gang looked up as pumpkins fell down, they all somersaulted to the side. "Something tells me these aren't regular pumpkins..." Ness said, looking at their burnt tops. "HIT THE DECK!" Jeff yelled and they jumped down the stairs. They turned around to see the pumpkins explode and cause a tremor. "Aww, shucks. This is so great..." BB stared at the rocks. CHAPTER 1, PART 3 "Ummm, Ness?" The kid asked. "Yes?" "Why are you still here?" "Duhhh! I survived the attack." Ness rolled his eyes. The day Ness told the story, was the day itself he was caught in a tremor. Drake stared at his gameboy and got a plan. He took out his gameshark and started typing in it. Death jumped at him, but he somersaulted away, typing something. He pressed 'Enter Code' and Death looked up at the clock. Time stopped dead in it's tracks! Death snapped his fingers and two zombies walked over, holding axes. DETAILED FIGHT Drake did a backflip and took out his pistol. Before, he also put in a code to modify his skills, and he now knew Kung Fu. He fired madly at the zombies, but they twirled their axes around, blocking the blasts. They both smashed the ground with their axes at the same time. The impact knocked Drake flying into the wall, which was full of guillotines. He pulled his head back just as a razor fell. He staggered back and kicked backwards, 'blindly'. His 'blind' kick had hit a zombie in the chest and it dropped it's ax and staggered backwards. He grabbed the axe, rolled away from a axe slam, and slashed the remaining zombie in the back with his ax. It fell to it's knees, then to the ground. Death ran to a dead body that was lying on the ground. He cackled evily and Drake suddenly knew what he was doing. Years ago, there were many news reports about a boy named Ness Habwaggle who embarked on a journey to save the world. Drake had finally remembered that he was looking for Ness, and he had flashbacks of the news reports. There were many interviews with Ness's Mom and Drake remembered her face. The body lying on the ground was... Mrs. Habwaggle! Ness and the gang had noticed there was a way out. That way was to Saturn Valley, and obviously that's where they were headed. They were at the stairs to the Saturn Valley Road and Ness smiled as there was no Mini Barf. They walked up the stairs, but fell down them as more pumpkins fell... These pumpkins, however, were not bombs. Tiny, human-like bodies sprouted under them. The bodies were holding their pumpkin heads on and the pumpkin creatures didn't seem too happy. They jumped down the stairs, holding their heads on telekinetically. They smashed into the gang of six, sending them flying all the way to the tremor. The flew to the piled rocks and hit their heads hard on them. The little pumpkin things ran over to the bodies, saying words I cannot say in their high voices. When they got to the gang, they made sure they were all out cold. In a puff of green smoke, Pokey appeared. "Tut tut, Pig's Butt, you shouldn'tve actually TRIED to revive your mother." Music started playing and Pokey looked around, confused. CHAPTER 2, PART 3 "Pokey? Frozen time? Pumpkin creatures?" The boy asked in awe. "I can't believe it..." "Believe it will you will, if you wish to believe it." "I d-" The boy was cut off. "Let me continue!" Ness bellowed. Drake roared and jumped out the window, into a waterfall, running after Death who had taken Mrs. Habwaggle with him. He fired warning shots in the air with his pistol, put it away, and took out his machine gun. He started firing madly at Death. Death hopped over the shots and ran down to the tunnel to Threed. Drake took out a match and a Big Bottle Rocket and ran into the tunnel, after Death. Death skidded to a stop as he saw the unconscious heroes, the pumpkin creatures and the piled rocks. "Who could've done this?" Death's question was answered as Pokey appeared in a puff of smoke. "Ahhhhhhh... So it is you, Death. I have my money and now have no need for you*snicker*. Surrender now!" Pokey cackled. "Sorry, I must've misheard you..." "Oh, that you didn't!" DETAILED FIGHT Pokey dodged a slash from Death's scythe and punches Death in the stomach. Death flew back, into the wall of the tunnel, making a dent. Death tripped Pokey and got up. He grabbed Pokey and held him up by the scruff of the neck. "I am YOUR master, Pokey. And I have no need for YOU!!!!" Death roared and threw Pokey to the ground. Pokey grabbed Death's leg and tossed him HARD to the wall. He walked up to Death and triumphantly grabbed his scythe. Pokey held Death up by the scruff of the neck like Death did to him. "NO FOOL. I AM YOUR MASTER... EITHER BOW DOWN TO ME OR DIE!" He snarled. "Ha, you aren't my ma-" Pokey, sounded pretty mad, and before Death could argue with him, he slit his "throat". No blood or anything came out, Death just disappeared into thin air, followed by a puff of smoke. "Whoa!! Pokey killed Death?" The kid asked. "Yep... I'm almost done with this story and I see you've peed your pants..." Ness answered. "Ermm... Uhhh..." The kid said, embarassed as he blocked his pants. "Well hey, Chapter 3, Part 3 RIGHT here!" CHAPTER 3, PART 2 "Arrrggggh!!! THAT MUSIC AGAIN!" Pokey screamed as the music played again. It was Blues music, popular blues music... Ness woke up from his short coma. "Th-The Runaway Five!" Paula, Jeff, Poo and BB got up and felt fully healed... Drake skidded to a stop right by them. "Oh man, it's actually you, Ness!" Drake stared in awe. "Who are you?" Ness asked. "Drake, he's Drake..." Paula said. "What the????" Drake looked at Paula. "She's my cousin..." "I had no idea I'd be calling you... So we aren't friends that haven't met... He he." Paula laughed. "Meet my new friends..." Drake moved to the side and showed the Runaway Five. "What??????" Jeff asked. "How'd you guys get here?" "We were doing a concert in Saturn Valley, lucky for you we had to leave sometime... Ha, get it? Lucky! Ha!" Lucky informed them. "Alright, alright... CAN YOU JUST SHUT UP AND GET THIS OVER WITH?????" Pokey asked, in some sort of rage. "I HATE reunions!" FINAL FIGHT Pokey charged full speed at the line of around 10 people and smashed them to the wall. Pokey grabbed Ness's Mom and used a spell to open the tremor. Pokey threw Ness's Mom out and Ness got up. Ness punched Pokey but Pokey caught it. Ness kicked Pokey in the stomach and Pokey fell to the floor. He whacked Pokey in the head with his Legendary Bat but Pokey recovered after the 2nd hit and tripped Ness. Drake and Jeff stood side-by-side shooting Pokey. Pokey, slowly and dramatically, walked up to the two, and into the bullets. Jeff backed up and pulled Drake with him as Pokey came closer. Pokey kept getting slower until... "PSI FOOD OMEGA!!!!" Pokey roared and snapped his fingers. Giant cakes flew around, smashing into everyone, as stupid as the idea was, it knocked the heads off of the pumpkin creatures. BB rubbed his bones and whipped Pokey with his rope. Pokey took a gun out of his pocket and put it to BB's head. "Shoot, I dare ya'." BB laughed. Pokey fired at BB, hitting him in the head. BB laughed and threw Pokey onto the ground. Paula jumped over Pokey, hoping to get to Ness's Mom. "Paula, you'll need this!" Poo threw a Bag of Lifenoodles at Paula and she jumped up and caught them. "Hey!" Pokey yelled at Paula. Pokey got up to be grabbed by the Runaway Five. They all started punching him but soon, wounded, he threw them all off. "PSI ROCKIN OMEGA!" The cave was filled with loud music as Ness screamed. Rocks started falling from the ceiling because of the sound. The rocks hit Pokey in the head. Pokey just got up again when another hit him in the head making him fall down again. Paula pulled open Ness's Mom's mouth and picked up the bag. Pokey jumped at Paula but when the Runaway Five played their music Pokey stopped in mid-air. Paula fed Ness's Mom the noodles and when the bag was empty, shoved it onto Pokey's face. She flipped backwards, over the floating Pokey and landed by Ness. BB used his rope to grab Pokey. Ness used PSI Hypnosis to put Pokey to sleep. Drake and Jeff shot Pokey alot. The Runaway Five continued their music. "PSI STARSTORM OMEGA!" Poo screamed. Stars the size of doors flew around, whacking Pokey madly. "Wha?" Ness's Mom asked as she woke up to the blasts. A blurr of spinning yellow flew over and landed by Ness's Mom. Poo ran over because he knew what or who it was. It stopped... It was the Star Master. "Hello, good friend Poo. You and you're allies have saved the fate of earth yet again, but you may not know it. Pokey would've taking over earth if you didn't fight... And as for The Runaway Five, they have hidden powers they haven't known about for about 31 years... Now they know. I thank you for what you have done... Also, Tracy has begun training with me. Thank you, thank you and thank you. Well, PSI Farewell to nextime!" He said and flew away as he did before. "Oh great one... Thank you..." Poo stared at his master. "Ness, your are indeed lucky, your little sister training in the ways of the star... Praise you and your family..." "Umm... Yeah! Right! Whatever. Let's PARTY!!!" Ness and his Mom yelled. Pokey exploded as they teleported home. EPILOGUE Everybody was having a great time partying that Halloween night. Even Tracy joined in after hearing the story. Time still wasn't restored. "Whoa, nice made up story!" The kid laughed. "Your imaginary story doesn't scare me..." "You peed your pants again." Ness pointed out. "Ugggghhh..." The kid pulled his collar. Everyone except for the bad guys, duh, popped out from behind the couch. "HAPPY HALLOWEEN, AND TO ALL A BAD NIGHT!" They yelled.
