EarthBound 200X By Flying Zamboni 2
Chapter 1: Rise To Power


Poo sat in silent meditation in the cliffs of Onett. He had been feeling some disturbing aura's for the past three weeks, yet he couldn't determine were they were coming from. Poo prepared to try one more time. He took a deep breath and concentrated. This time he managed to
locate one aura in the Winters Asylum. He knew that it had to be that Cain fellow Ness had told him about. He tried to find the other two auras, but as soon as he got close, a sharp pain ran through his body and he lost it. He sighed, got up, and began to walk to Ness' house.


Pokey sat in the palace throne room thinking of what to do about Poo, he would most likely be returning soon and then Pokey's plans would all be stopped prematurely. He sat there contemplating his next move, when he came across the holograph machine in his pocket and was
struck with a genius idea. He bid all but one of his servants away.
"You wish to speak to me elder?" said the young man.
"Why yes. Do you see that sword on the mantel over there?"
"Yeah...why?"
"Could you go and get it for me?"
"But of course sir!" With that, the boy got the sword and handed it to Pokey who instantly stabbed him. Pokey then took out his machine and aimed it at the servant. Another flash ensued and when it was gone, the boy lay there in the form of Poo.
Pokey laughed," This should get Poo to come, but at least he won't be able to gain support from the people! Well, Back to work!" Pokey let out a blood-curdling scream. Immediately, one of his servants came into the throne room.
"What is it Master?"
"Look on the ground moron-I mean...The prince has killed himself! I was sitting here when he teleported in. He drew his sword and stabbed himself! In his last breath, he told me to rule in his place."


The servant gasped and covered his mouth. He gazed at Pokey in shock," What should we do now master?"
"We shall hold a proper burial and then shall begin the coronation ceremonies."


Ness, Jeff, and Paula sat in Ness' backyard. They were huddled around a small mechanical Mr. Saturn.


"What is it Jeff?"


"My latest invention Ness! I call it, the Mr. Saturn bomb! It's my way of thanking them for aiding us in the defeat of Giygas! This little baby has the power of three Multi Bottle Rockets! It uses advanced technology in which-"


Paula interrupted his stream of scientific jargon," Wait, wait, wait! So you're saying that you've turned those innocent little Mr. Saturns into a weapon of mass destruction as a means to thank them?"


"Yeah, so?"
Paula opened her mouth but was interrupted by Poo, who appeared out of nowhere behind her.


"Ness, may I use your television? I have this odd feeling that I must turn on the news."


"Err, sure Poo. When you get that feeling it normally means something. Maybe it has something to do with that uneasy feeling that you and Paula have had for the past few weeks."


Within moments, the four were sitting in Ness' family room, gathered around the T.V. Ness picked up the remote and turned it to Eagleland World News. The young newscaster appeared on the screen and finished up the previous story.


"...And the Summers Police subdued the riot with some well placed road blocks. And now to our top story. The young Prince Poo of Dallam was found dead a few hours ago. The only eyewitness was the man put in charge to watch Dallam while the Prince was
taking a holiday to Onett. The old man claims that the Prince teleported in front of him and killed himself, leaving the country to him. The coronation ceremony finished moments ago and will be shown to you now."


A recording of Poo's former master began to play. When it was finished, Ness turned off the T.V. and sat dumbfounded. After a moment of awkward silence, Poo spoke.


"I must leave now."


"Wait Poo! Let us go with you."


"I'm sorry Ness, but I must deal with this myself."


Before further argument, Poo left the house and teleported to Dallam.


When Poo arrived in Dallam, he saw many people dressed in black and weeping over his death. He walked over to a woman that he knew and touched her shoulder. She looked up at him and became angry.


"The new king has warned us about people like you! Trying to pose as the dead prince to try and get the throne! You make me sick! Get out of my sight!"


The woman ran away into her house and locked the door. When the other villagers saw him, they did the same. Poo looked angrily at the palace and began to walk up the hills of Dallam and up to the golden doors. No sooner had he put his hand on the handle then he was stopped by a voice from behind him. Poo turned to see a Dallamise boy in a tattered brown cloak holding a long sickle. The boy looked to be Poo's age
and had his same expression of one trained under Mu. Poo looked at him in shock for a few moments before saying," Impossible."


The boy's expression became sad as he spoke to Poo.


"I don't wish to hurt you Poo. Leave and never return."
Poo spoke as if dazed.
"Koga? I can't believe it! You're still alive?"


"I have no time for pleasantries, please leave before I am forced to hurt you."


"NO! I cannot leave until this conspiracy is uncovered! Nor can I believe that you are a part of it!"


"Then you leave me no choice. Forgive me."


Koga charged at Poo with incredible speed and swung his sickle. It hit nothing but air as Poo jumped up and kicked Koga in the chin. Koga regained balance with a back flip and pulled out a boomerang. It caught Poo by surprise and hit him in the chest. He stumbled backward and teetered on the edge of the floating continent. Koga rushed forward and extended his hand. As Poo reached out to grab it, a laser blast
came from the throne room window and hit Poo in the chest. He lost consciousness as he plummeted to the earth below.
