I have been trying to get some sleep! You kill Gyigas and see how tired you are..." Ness headed down the stairs next to his sisters room. "Ness?",said his mother,"could you get that?" Ness headed over to the door and was about to open it when it swung open catching him in the face knocking him back onto the chair behind him. Pickey ran in. "Ness I got this letter from Pokey. It has no stamp and the postman doesn't deliver at night.", Picky said as he helped Ness up, "It says something about being the cool guy and he wants you to find him and something about spankety." Ness ran up to his room and pulled a box out of his dresser. He then removed a key from his front pocket. He unlocked the box and removed the contents. "We will settle this Pokey. We will settle this now." Ness bumbled down the road in a groggy fashion, he had just realized he still needed some sleep so he propped himself up against a tree and fell asleep and started to recover PP as a familiar glow appeared on the horizon. That night Ness had a strange dream. Chapter 1: A new life The year is 2005 Minchville a small town in Porktopia 10 years ago Pokey took over the world. A noise startled Flint from his left. He looked over behind the bushes but found nothing. He heard a childs laughter in the distance. "Ryuka?", shouted Flint,"Kraus?" He made his way towards the woods when he heard an oinking noise. He turned left just in time to see a pig jumping at him. He dropped backwards and felt a stick on the ground which he picked up and swung like a bat. It struck the pig with precision. ¤SMAAASSSH¤ The pig fell to the ground and scurried off on all four hooves. Flint shocked dropped the stick and ran towards the woods to find the kids. Krause and Ryuka were swiming in a small pond when they heard their father calling to them. They quickly jumped out and put their pouches on. Bow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow came from the right of them. "Come on Boney!", said Kraus as they ran towards the house. Ryuka tripped over a log which split open when he fell on it. 10 black antoids came scurreying out and attacked them. Krause reached into his pouch and pulled out a yo-yo and Ryuka grabbed his sling shot along with a few marbels. The Antoids had the first turn of attack each one attacked with their pinchers. When it was Kraus's turn he swung his yo-yo in a rightward sweep crushing 5 of the antoids. Next was Ryuka's turn, he loaded 5 marbles into his slingshot and fired hitting 4 antoids. On Boney's turn he jumped onto the last antoid.Flint came running up to them, "Hey(pant) there are some pigs on the way(pant)we need to get into the house", Flint said. "OK", said Ryuka,"Lets go." They reached the house before nightfall and locked all the windows and doors. The inside of the house was suprisingly clean compared to the rustic outside of it. In the center of the back wall sat a fireplace. Above the mantle was only 2 things, a glass case with a bat inside that had the inscription 'Legendary', and a portrait of a beautiful blond woman which cast an eerie gaze onto the room as if there was much more to the woman than normal. Below the picture read 'Paula'. In one corner of the room sat a chair which Flint settled into. ¤BOOM¤ "What was that?", asked Kraus. "You two stay here.", said Flint as he headed out the door, "and lock this door. Interlude: The Return of the Nightmare Ness awoken to a searing pain in his mind. "AAAGGGRRRHHH", screamed Ness. He opened his eyes only to be met with another searing pain. Someone was using PSI Rockin Omega on him. "AAAGGGRRRHHH", he screamed again as he opened his eyes. Before him was the Mani-Mani statue. No the glow was different it was uninviting, this was Ness's Nightmare! It shot with PSI Rockin again. How could this have gotten out of his mind and be attacking him? The Nightmare was met upon the left side with a baseball bat. Ness's Nightmare roared. "Like that?", said Ness as he took another swing. Ness's Nightmare seemed to be unharmed as he took another swing. ¤SMAAASSSH¤ The bat struck with precision and one of the horns broke off. Ness's Nightmare used PSI Rockin Omega. Ness's was mortally injured. Ness's HP dropped to 0, Ness passed out. In the distance a snorting laughter erupted. Chapter 2: Weather As Flint started up his jeep he felt a tingling sensation that he had not felt in a long time. He began to hear ghostly singing in the distance, "Round and round and round it goes, loss of the mind, loss of the kind, and only the real one knows. Round and round and round it goes, loss of the mind, loss of the kind, and only the real one knows. Round and round and round it goes, loss of the mind, loss of the kind, and only the real one knows." This had repeated for nearly an hour as he drove down the road towards the mountains. He decided to drown it out with music but that only made it louder. Suddenly the entire jeep came to a halt with a jolt. The tingling grew as he got out of the vehicle. He made his way towards the front of the jeep to see nothing. He kept walking even though he didn't want to. He began running but he didn't know why, and yet he felt as if he should not struggle. About 200 feet away from the truck he felt whatever made him run stop. He turned around to walk back and was greeted by an explosion from the very center of his jeep. He started walking on his previous course. "When do you think he will be back?", asked Krause. "I dunno.", said Ryuka as he was messing around with the portrait of the blond woman. "I don't think you should do that.", Krause said, "What if you wreck it?" "I won't wreck... uhh Krause what happened to the woman?", said Ryuka. The portrait was a picture of a young blond girl now. "WHAT DID YOU DO?", asked Krause. "Nothing!" "Then what happened?" "I asked you that!" It started raining. "We had better get all the stuff inside before the Ramblin' Mushrooms start growing.", said Krause,"Then we'll worry about this." "Right!",shouted Ryuka. Boney burst out the door as soon as they opened it. "Boney get back here! Boney! Here boy!", the twins began shouting. But Boney continued running.
