Megalomaniac
Chapter 3: Noisy Rocks and New Fashions
Pokey's mother, Mrs. Minch, stood at the door staring at the children with
eyes that could make Satan back away in fear.
"WHERE IN SAM HILL HAVE YOU BEEN!? WE'VE BEEN WORRIED SICK!" Her yell sent
a ringing into Ness's ears. Pokey and Picky ran off to their rooms, and Buzz
Buzz was in utter horror.
"Chosen One, what.... is that thing? It's hideous." Ness couldn't help but
giggle at Buzz Buzz's remark.
"What are YOU laughing at?" Mrs. Minch boomed. Her over-applied lipstick
flew off her face as if by magic and covered a gagging Ness. "Oh lord....
AIYEEE! A DUNG BEETLE!" Mrs. Minch spotted BuzzBuzz and reacted. She slapped
him with force enough to slow a train. He fell to the ground. Ness fell with
him and looked into his fading eyes.
"Buzz Buzz! Are you okay? That lady can really sla-"
"Chosen one." Buzz Buzz grabbed Ness' shirt collar. "I... I am weaker than
I expected... I'm... I'm dying. You muist listen to what I have to say.
Ness..... It is your destiny.... You must venture out on your own now. Find
the other Chosen three. Your quest does not end after that.... There are
eight spots in this world you must visit.... these are Your Sanctuary.
Collect the melodies they sing to you.... When you have these melodies, the
Earth will channel your power and multiply it.... Then, you will be strong
enough to kill Giygas."
"Uh-huh, uh-huh, wait... You're dying? Okay BuzzBuzz. Hold still..... PSI
Suckup Alph-"
"NO! Ness! don't do it...."
'But I almost have the hang of it! And then you won't be dead!"
"Yes, but, chances are, you will hurt yourself again. Besides, the plot
flows better *cough* like this." BuzzBuzz reached behind his back and pulled
out a large, purple rock. "This... This is the Sound Stone. This will
collect the Sanctuary Melodies. It will shatter NIghtmare rock, and you will
be able to destroy Giygas."
Ness took the stone and put it in his backback. "Buzz Buzz... Are you
dead?" He poked Buzz Buzz's robotic carcass. He was still. Ness picked
BuzzBuzz's body up. He went outside to his backyard, and dug a little grave.
As he was putting Buzz Buzz in it, the body vanished! Amazed, Ness went down
to his hideout to have lunch.
A dirty, poorly groomed kid stood at the entrance to the Hideout. "Hi
Ness!" he said.
"Hey, Dusty. Lemme in, I'm hungry." Ness pushed Dusty aside and walked up
the ladder to the little tree house. He was greeted almost instantaneously
by a rag-tag group of kids. They rambled on about dreams about pretty girls
and baseball hats and all kinds of things. Ness felt rather queasy at the
apparent lack of deoderant that was present in the treehouse, so he snatched
someody's hat for no reason and ran off. He went down near the library and
was stoped dead in his tracks by none other than.....
....a dog. It appeared very harmless, sitting there, wagging it's tail,
howling, so Ness beat it snesless with his bat and walked down to the
drugstore, much to the horror of the lady in yellow that's always acting all
non-chalant in front of the library.
Down at the drugstore, Ness caught hold of some items he saw on TV that he
was subliminally demanded to run out and buy. He walked to the ATM and took
all the money his dad put in for the beating up of poor helpless animals. He
then proceeded to buy a Teeball bat and a bracelet. Leaving the store, he
broke free of the trance of subliminal messaging and straight into the
trance of being hungry and right next to a conviently located burger shop.
He bought one burger with his remaining $24. He ate it and sped off down to
the arcade, already under the trance of needing to scrounge for coins so he
could lose at Donkey Kong for a while. He was greeted at the door by three
men wearing all black, with a shark fin on their heads.
"Hey, you wanna join the sharks?"
"Uh.... no...."
"HA! what a snob!"
"Uh..... what?"
"Yeah you heard me." The Shark that had been talking shoved Ness to the
ground in an almighty 2 Hp damaging power-shove. Instantly, the men in black
changed clothing. One was now on a skateboard, one was wearing a
single-piece purple spandex suit and holding a hula-hoop, and one was on a
pogo stick. hough no one knew how this could have been possible, no one
really cared. Ness got up and grabbed his baseball bat. Far off in the
distance, somebody's lava lamp experienced a power-surge and exploded,
causing all of Onett to be aglow with reds and swirlies that made up the
60's.
An epic battle then ensued between a boy with a bat, a guy on a pogo stick,
a guy on a skateboard, and a guy wearing a purple spandex body suit
(Author's note: wow, these guys don't seem that threatening anymore. Oh
well.). Ness was being beaten up pretty badly. He then remembered the
teachings of his wise master, Buzz Buzz.
"PSI...Blow-up... ALPH-" He was stopped short.
"LIFEUP YOU IDIOT! LIFEUP!" came a voice from nowhere.
"Oh, Right. Thanks, disembodied voice!" PSI GIFEUP AlPHA!" Ness shouted,
feeling confident no against the skate-pogo-spandex army. His fingers burst
into flames. He sat, wide-eyed, staring at his misfortune. The magic
disembodied voice that corrected him earlier spoke again.
"Ness, I don't think you were meant for Psionic power. Psi Lifeup
Alpha...." Ness' fingers were extinguished and he began feeling better. "Try
this now: Psi hypnosis. Can you say hypnosis? that's h-y-p-n--"
"Yes I can do that! Sheesh. Psi hypnosis!" Ness actual got a power to work
right for once. the army of not-so-threatening people fell asleep and Ness
proceeded to beat them silly and take the hamburgers they conviently had in
their non-existent pockets.
"So, uh.... disembodied voice? Who are you?" he asked, now curious.
A little specklet of transparent blue appeared in front of him. "You know
who I am, Chosen One."
"Um.... no?"
"Uh... yeah......"
"No I don't"
"It's me, Buzz Buzz."
"OH! .... Who's BuzzBuzz?"
"Are you...being serious, Chosen One?"
"Naw I'm joking, Buzz. I know you. You're that little guy that helped me
learn to magically ignite my hands! Wait... Aren't you dead?"
"Yeah... I'm a ghost."
"You're blue, are you aware of this?"
"I'm a blue ghost."
"..."
"Haven't you ever seen Star Wars?"
"Who's Luke Skywalker? I never heard of him."
"But I never mentioned his nam-"
"Drop it!"
Ness and Buzz Buzz the little cliched Blue Ghost were reunited. They walked
into the arcade and talked in between fighting many identical men in purple
spandex body suits.
"So... can you hurt anyone?" Ness inquired.
"No, I'm a ghost."
"But you can cast PSI..."
"No I can't..."
"But you just did. Psi messup alpha."
"yeah... First off, it's LIFE NOT MESS OR GIFE OR THE OTHER WEIRD THINGS
YOU WERE ABLE TO CONCOCT! Also... Aw, well it looks like we have a plot
hole."
"wait... you just punched a Yes Man Jr. and he fell down. You CAN hurt
people!"
"Well, I.... yeah... but I won't anymore.'
"Why, pray tell?"
"Because it's the rules of being a robotic dead bee blue ghost. It's in our
handbook." Buzz Buzz pulled out a rather large book entitled "The Handbook
of dead robotic bee blue ghosts by: Herman Munster" and quickly pocketed
it.
"How do you fit things like that and a huge rock in you? You're like an
inch tall.'
"It's in the handbook."
They walked and... blue-ghost-fluttered over to the back of the Arcade
where a vicious evil man with a Thriller tuxedo and an obsession with hair
gel stood waiting for them.

Chapter 4: Fight of the Ge; Thriller Man and the encounter of Giant Step. I
also stop obsessing over men wearing full body purple spandex.
