EarthBound 200X By Flying Zamboni 2
Prologue

Pokey's mangled spider mech was falling through the air over Dalaam. His mech had finally
run out of power. Unfortunatly for Pokey this caused the machine to stop traveling through
the time stream and be ripped out and into a random location of the earth. The last thing
Pokey saw before the crash was a giant elephant statue.

He awoke in a golden room and saw a man with what appeared to be a phone on his head.
"You what year is it? Were am I?...ANSWER ME!" Pokey kept yelling at the man, all the while
getting angrier. He eventualy deemed it hopeless and sat back down on the bed, when an old
man walked into the room, "I can answer your questions young man. You are in Dalaam. The year
is 200X one year after the defeat of the Cosmic Destroyer."
"Dalaam...how did I get here?"
"Your machine was found outside. It crashed into one of our golden elephants at the palace
gates. You were brought in here, treated and have scince slept for three days."
"I see...heh your prince doesn't happen to be here does he?"
"I'm afraid not he has gone on a vacation in Onett. He has left me in charge."
"Excellent!" with that Pokey stood up and shot the old man with a laser in his back pocket.
He then pulled out a small device and pressed a button on it. A blinding beam of light filled
the room and when it dissapeared, Pokey stood looking exactly as the old man.

A sickening strain of laughter was heard as Pokey prepeared to use his newfound identity
to order the technology he needed to set his plans of vengeance into motion.

Twoson
"Put down the gun!" yelled Everdread, now Captain of the Twoson police force. The hostage
situation had been going on for hours now. The madman named Cain was held up in Polestar
Preschool with a small child in a chokehold and a gun put near her head. Paula and the
rest of the children were fortunantly at the park when Cain had walked into the school
posing as a child's parent.

"How much would you pay me for the life of this small child? Three no maybe four thousand? I
won't give her up that easily as she is the only thing keeping Miss Polestar there from
coming in and beating me into a bloody pulp." Said Cain as he pointed to Paula, now standing
with the police force.
"It's really rather funny how much this child's life is worth to you people. You all would
pay me huge sums of money just to see her come out of this alive. Or I could simply pull the
trigger and throw that all away just to see that look of horror and sadness at the waste of
such a young life. Indeed my power over life and death is intoxicating! And scince I have no
use for money..." Cain pulled the trigger, the girl screamed; the crowd cried out in horror,
yet the bullet remained suspended in mid air, inches away from the girl's head.
Paula stood in the crowd, hand out, concentrating.
"NOW NESS! WHILE I CAN STILL HOLD THE BULLET!" she yelled as Ness jumped out of the crowd and
broke down the door of the preschool, much to Cain's terror. Ness immediatley jumped up, bat
drawn, and came down upon Cain. He could only stick out his hand and scream in a desperate
attempt to stop the angry Ness. Much to the surprise of both of the opponents, a small ball
of light came out of Cain's hand and struck Ness in the chest, knocking him back.
"That was PSI! How did you-" but Ness was cut short by another blast.
"I could really care less how I did that, as long as it gives me the power to kill you."
Cain prepared to fire another blast but stopped short by the little girl, hanging off of his
neck. Ness took this opprotunity to land a hard hit to Cain's stomach. Cain got up and pulled
out his gun.
"I was hoping to torment you longer, but I guess I'll just have to kill you now!" Cain
pulled the trigger only to find his hand solidified in ice. To his horror, the ice began to
spread up his arm. He turned his head and looked out the window to see Paula, no longer
having to hold the bullet, with two of her fingers pointed at him.
"You! You did this! I swear I will have my vengeance Miss Polestar! Just...you...wait." He
said as the ice finished solidifying his body.

Off in the distance, a tall figure sat in the shadows, watching the whole thing. When it was
over, the figure stood up, smiled, and teleported away.
