Hey there everyone, me again so this is the second chapter I hope you guys enjoy it and as much as you did the last one. Well here's the disclaimer. Earthbound is owned exclusively by Shigesato Itoi. Well on to the story.
Kai's P.O.V
We walked outside the house and proceeded on towards Onett City. We didn't live very far from town so we could walk there and back if we wanted. My sisters were both walking in front of me with their signature purple and red hoodies on. They were pretty excited to be going to the city even though we've been there plenty of times. I guess they were excited because it would be the first time they went their without Mom or Dad.
"So Lyra what should we do first when we get there?"
Lyra scratched her head while she thought. "Maybe we could go to the mall and look at all the cool stuff they have."
Lila nodded her head. "Yea, or maybe we could got to the zoo and look at all the unique animals."
While they were both thinking of all the things they could do in Onett city. I was thinking about what Mom had said before we left. It's true that ever since PSI started to become more common around Eagleland, people have started to use it to do evil things. Heck, I remember when I saw on the news that a man had used Fire PSI to burn down a person's house.
"Hey Kai?"
I looked up to see my sisters staring at me with worried faces. "Are you okay? You seem a little worried." "Yea Kai, is something wrong?"
I shook my head. "No, I'm fine. Don't worry about me."
They both still looked uncertain about my answer. I didn't want to have them worry about me the entire time they were trying to have fun. I smiled at them. "Trust me, I'm fine, I mean I am getting to spend time with my two favorite sisters aren't I?"
They smiled and looked a little bit more happy. I smiled and rushed ahead of them. "So what are you two waiting for? Let's go. Off to Onett city! Race you both there!"
I began running and I could hear my sister's whining that I was cheating. I simply laughed and kept running. Maybe today wouldn't be so bad.
By the time we had reached the entrance to Onett City, all three of us were panting and gasping for air. I looked up to see the sign that said "Welcome To Onett City, Onett Reborn." I have to say from the pictures that I had seen in my history book, Onett has really grown from the small little town it was before.
I walked in with my sisters close behind me. I looked around to the large city bustling with people. They were skyscrapers towering above us. I looked over and saw a countless number of people walking, doing their everyday life. There was a woman holding the hand of her child while she pushed a baby stroller. There was a man with a phone in his hand probably setting up meetings for his workplace.
Yea Onett City was a pretty busy place when it wanted to be. I looked down to see my sisters bursting with excitement. I smiled and said "So where should we head off to first you two?"
They were thinking hard, I could tell from the looks on their faces. Lyra looked at me and said "Why don't we all go to the park." Lila nodded and said "Yea, I remember that park was really fun to go to. Can we Kai please?" I smiled at both of them. "Of course, let's go."
We made our way through the bustling streets. Occasionally we would stop for a minute to observe all the fantastic things the city had to offer, but we managed to make it to the park.
My sisters laughed and ran through the park. I sat down on a nearby bench and watched them play. I was smiling whenever I heard a voice. "Youth is such a wonderful thing isn't it." I looked up and saw an old man wearing a green shirt and a brown hat. He seemed to be holding a cane. He looked back at me and said "Yes I remember when I was young like that. Back then the world was under the threat of the evil menace Giygas. You've heard of him haven't ya boy."
I nodded. I had heard of Giygas. The evil being that tried to destroy our world 30 years ago. They say that he would've too if hadn't of been for Ness and his friends stopping him. Ness was a hero in Eagleland. Heck, they even put up a statue of him in the park. But five years later, he disappeared and nobody knew where he went. People even tried asking his Mom. All she would say was "He went to enjoy his life in peace."
Everyone was grateful for what Ness had done for Eagleland, and nobody would forget the great deed that he had done. "Yes back then people would always fear if their lives could end at any moment, but thanks to Ness the newer generation doesn't have to worry about that."
I nodded. "Yea, I just wonder where he went." I was still thinking whenever the man said "You know you sort of remind me of him y'know." I was confused by this and I turned around to ask the man what he meant, but he was gone. I was surprised to see that the mysterious man had left so quickly that I was startled whenever my sister Lila called my name.
"Kai?"
I turned around to see both of my sisters standing in front of me. "Come on, come play with us." Lyra nodded her head. "Yea, you deserve to have fun too. So come on."
I didn't want to disappoint them so I decided that I would play with them. I stood up and they grabbed both of my hands and dragged me off to play. We did loads of different things. We played tag and I was the first one to be it. i knew that I could probably tag one of my sisters in an instant if I tried so I decided to slow my speed down a gear. I did the same thing if one of them were it as well.
We also played hide n seek which I failed at phenomenally. My sisters however managed to elude me no matter how much I tried. I would look everywhere I could think of and then when I would say I give up they would pop up right behind me.
Lyra wanted to play on the swings so I would let her get on and then push her to help her get some height. She'd laugh and giggle whenever she got as high as she could. I was watching her and was surprised whenever she yelled "CATCH ME BROTHER!" She jumped off the swing and headed right towards me. You think that I would be freaking about this right. Well, she's done this before and all I do is use my PSI to stop her and make her levitate over towards me. Whenever she reached me I she would always laugh and hug me and I would hug her back.
After we had our fun at the park, Lila suggested that we go to the zoo. We all ran there and arrived at the entrance. Entering the zoo in Onett City didn't cost anything so we just walked in and looked at all of the animals. Lyra was fascinated by the penguins and their little show. Lila was looking at the lion cage and came running to me when it roared at her.
After that the two of them dragged me over towards the mall. We walked in and I have to say, I was fascinated with the size of the place. Everywhere you looked there was a different compartment that had its own unique feel to it. My sisters almost flew out of my reach they were so excited. I managed to catch up to them and saw them looking all over the place. I saw them run up to a free sample stand and I decided to join them. I walked up there to see them eating something that looked like kalamari on a stick. The man running the stand looked up at me and gave me a friendly smile and said "Hello there sir would you care to try one of my salted seasoned octo sticks? They're really good." My sisters took theirs out of their mouths to agree. "Yea Kai try one." "Yea they taste great." I was hesitant but I picked up the kalamari stick and slowly put in my mouth. I was surpassed that though. It was probably the most amazing thing I had ever eaten. "Wow, man these are great. What's your secret?" The man gave a smile and wiggled his finger. "A chef can never reveal his secrets. Let's just say that there's a little bit of everything in those little things."
After that I took my sisters to go look at all the different compartment stores. I took them over towards the clothing store to let them look at all the different clothes. They looked at all of the clothes that they could possibly get and even tried on a few. By the time it was time to go to another compartment store they looked almost heartbroken that they couldn't get any of the clothes that they wanted.
I also took them over to the arcade. When we walked in it was like a paradise to me. Games as far as my eyes could see. My sisters however didn't have the same fascination with video games like I did. In fact they seemed pretty bored while I was having the of my life. I decided that I would show them the wonders that arcades had to offer. I took Lyra over to one of the racing simulators. She was having a pretty hard time with at first but I helped her by giving her all the tips on the game and helping her with the controls. By the time I was done she might've put even some of the best racers to shame. I took Lila over towards the Aim N Shoot. She seemed hesitant to shoot the targets at first since they were humans, but I managed to convince her to try it. She aimed and actually managed to hit the first targets pretty easily. She then took aim at the moving targets and hit them as easily as the first ones. I was astonished that she was such a sharpshooter. When she was done she was super happy with her score. I congratulated her on getting such a high score and she smiled and laughed. I went to go and get Lyra to discover that she was currently in a race against four other people, and I could tell just by looking that they weren't faring well against her. She actually wiped the floor with all of them. They all groaned whenever she crossed the finish line and my sister just cheered as she won. I smiled at seeing my sisters being so happy.
I looked down at my watch to see that it was already 6:00 p.m. "Hey Lyra, Lila!" The two of them looked at me. "It's getting late I think it's time we started to head home." They both groaned. "Aww, do we have to brother?" "Yea can't we stay a little bit longer." I lauged at them. "Sorry you two, but Mom's making my favorite for supper. Seasoned Steak, and I'm afraid that they're might not be any left if we're late. Besides, we've had such a fun day, maybe it would be best if you guys got some rest." They both looked at each before they finally conceded. "Ok."
I walked outside with my sisters right behind me. They were still pretty bummed that we were leaving. "Hey how about I make you two a deal? Next time you guys want to come out here, I'll buy you all of those new clothes that you wanted. Deal?" The two of them had complete mood change after that and they both basically screamed "DEAL!" They both jumped up and hugged me. I laughed. Today wasn't such a bad day. Sure I could've spent it training but this seemed like much better idea after all.
Normal P.O.V
Kai, Lyra, and Lila were walking down the street. Little did they know that three figures were watching them from the dark shadows.
"So those two little girls are the targets."
"Yea, the boss wants them."
"Man, why don't we just steal the PSI user?"
"Because the boss already explained it to us Ricky. If we steal the girls. The boy will do anything we want not to see them get hurt."
"If ya ask me. It'll just give him more motivation to try and kill us."
"Both of you thats enough talking. It's time to act. Let's go."
Kai's P.O.V
I was walking down the street with my sisters chattering about what a great day they had. I have to say it was a great day.
I heard Lyra ask what Lila thought was the best about Onett City. "Well, I think that the arcade was the best thing." "Really, I think that the park was the best." We had reached the exit Onett City when they both asked me what I had thought was the best thing about today. "Well I guess the best thing about today was-"
All of a sudden I felt a strange presence somewhere. I scanned my surroundings but I couldn't find anything.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
"Both of you get behind me!"
They were both startled but they got behind me nonetheless. I tried looking around again but I couldn't find anything. Then I heard my sisters scream. I looked behind me to see that they had disappeared. "What the-"
"Oh are you looking for these?"
I looked in front of me to see a weird giant reptile like creature holding my sisters in both of its clawed hands. He had two shady looking thugs next to him. "Hehehe, nice catch Leon." "Hehehe, yea little guy didn't even see it coming." "Gahahaha, yea seems like your a little on the slow side kid."
I didn't know who these guys were and frankly I didn't care. "Let go of them now!"
The weird creature known as Leon just laughed at me. "If you want your sisters so badly then you'll have to come and get them. You two handle the little boy, Im gonna take these two back to the boss."
I rushed towards them to try and stop him but the two thugs got in my way. "Where do you think you're going?"
I looked around them to see the creature leaving with my sisters screaming my name. The two thugs just cracked their knuckles. "If ya want to get to Leon, you'll have to get past us."
I infused my fist with PSI and punched both of them in the face. I managed to move them out of the way and rushed towards Leon. As I was about to reach them I tried to punch Leon but. "PSI Teleport." They vanished.
I just stood there stunned. My sisters were gone, and there was nothing that I could do.
"Hey kid."
I turned around to see the two thugs getting back up.
"We ain't through yet. C'mon let's go."
They both rushed at me. I just stood there. One of them tried to punch me but I just dodged and I punched him as hard as I could in the gut. I could've sworn that I heard something break. The thug fell to the ground. The other just stared at me, probably astonished to see that his friend had been taken down so easily. I walkd over towards him. He slowly backed away. "W-wait a minute. S-s-stay away from me." I kept walking. "L-look, just calm down." I grabbed him by the collar and stared him straight in the eye. "Now listen because I'm only going to ask this once. Where did that bastard take my sisters?"
Normal P.O.V
Leon teleported into a room with the two little children still trying to escape his grip. "Hey let me go you big meanie!" "WAAHHH! I want my momma! Brother, help!" "So I see you acquired our targets." Leon looked up to see his master hiding in the darkness. "Yes, boss. I got both of them just like you said." "Excellent, now all we need to do is wait. Soon he'll come running into my trap like a moth to bug zapper. Gwahahahahahahaha!"
Well our hero has ran into a mysterious criminal organization and now they have his sisters. Will he be able to save them. Or will he fail and be defeated. And just who is this mysterious "boss" that they keep talking about find out next time in the next Earthbound New Generations.
