Disclaimer: I own nothing
For those curious if I continue this story, there will be roughly 10 arcs. I've also decided starting next chapter I will be pitching story ideas and I want reviewers to tell me whether I should write them or not.
Chapter 2: First battle
"What going on in here?" Ness asked after recovering from the shock. In the game store there were 7 people. 4 of the people were on the floor unconscious from a horrible beating given by the last 3 people. The culprits were dressed in white priest garbs with large red crosses in the chest areas; all 3 of them had exceptionally pale skin, with bleach blond hair and bright blue context lens.
The culprit on the right was a little shorter than the average man, and quite wiry. His hair was curly, and his face had a snooty pout. In his arms was an oversized bible.
The culprit in the middle was of average height and build. His hair was shaved into a crew-cut. Around his neck was an oversized metal cross held on with a metal chain. Since he seemed to be the commanding type it was safe to assume he was the leader of the group.
The last culprit was on the left. He was at least 7 feet tall and quite buff. His blond hair was wild and covered the entire upper half of his face like a shaggy dog, what little of his face could be seen showed a grouchy face. His sleeves had been torn off to reveal his powerful arms complete with freshly used brass knuckles.
"Fear not child and glove creature" said the middle culprit "we elite members of the Order of the Red Cross have merely delivered justice onto these retched sinners." The middle culprit said with pride.
"Order of the Red Cross, I've heard of them. A paramilitary group of religious extremists wanted in many countries for cases of assault, arson, murder and even terrorism" thought MH.
"What could these people have possibly done to deserve such a beating" Ness asked angrily.
"Ness has got courage and a strong sense of justice, as commendable as those qualities may be, there useless on their own. Ness will need the strength to back them up and the determination to carry through" MH thought "This is an ideal condition to see what this boy can do, of course I 'am willing to step in if things get out of hand. Just because I'm making him face danger doesn't mean I will let him get killed."
"I 'am glad you asked child, first of all that clerk refused to give us our games free of charge."
"Not giving a holy person well deserved rewards is a terrible sin" said the culprit on the right. The culprit on the left simply growled.
"Those other 2 people tried to stop me" The middle culprit continued
"Trying to prevent a holy man from delivering justice is a terrible sin", the culprit on the left growled again.
"Finally that purple dinosaur in the corner got punished for being extremely annoying." The culprit on the left growled particularly loud that time.
"Being cheerful is a terrible sin"
The two culprits looked like they just told someone of a heroic dead (the large culprit just looked mean), Ness on the other hand just had an aghast look on his face "I may not know a lot about religion but I know that those aren't real sins, those are just lame excuses."
At this remark the middle culprit face instantly changed from happy to his "success" to really pissed off "How dare you accuse me of wrongdoing, I am an elite of the Order of the Red Cross" as he was saying this he took off his oversized metal cross. Then he started swing the cross, preparing to use it as a weapon "Everything I do is justified by god, especially punishing sinful little children"
BGM: Boss theme (Subspace Emissary)
At that, the middle culprit jumped towards Ness preparing to do an overhead attack. Ness quickly raised his left hand in a "stop" (palm facing forward) motion; this somehow caused the middle culprit to freeze in midair. Ness then raised his right hand in a "pistol" position (index finger out, thumb up)
"PK Fire"
A tiny lightning bolt shaped projectile was launched from Ness's finger, when the lightning bolt struck the culprit it created a small explosion that sent the culprit flying to the back of the store. After slamming into the wall the culprit fell down burnt and unconscious.
"I'm not some helpless civilian, I am a PSI user."
"A PSI user?" asked the culprit on the right, shocked and confused by what was going on.
"That's right I was born with psychic abilities, as I grew up I learned how to harness my abilities to do all sorts of neat attacks." Ness explained
The Red Cross thugs, confusion turned to anger as they continued their attack. The goon on the right threw his bible like a discus.
Ness jumped out of the way while the bible flew into an adjacent stores window
"PK Thunder" Ness launched a ball of purple electricity at the goon on the right
The goon ducked under the ball, then grunted with satisfaction. But what the goon didn't know was that PK thunder was a special projectile attack because it could be controlled after it had been launched (it could also phase through force fields but that's of no immediate importance).
With that in mind Ness used his mind to control the attack so it would turn around and hit the goon
ZZZZZZZZZZAP
After being burnt comically, the goon passed out from pain
The last goon charged forward roaring like an animal throwing a series of punches with Ness dodging each with little difficulty. As Ness moved out of the both him and the goon found themselves outside the store.
"Good thing I came prepared for emergencies" Thought Ness as he pulled a wooden baseball bat out of his backpack. The goon then attempted to hit Ness with right hook.
Ness jumped over the goons attack and smacked him in the face with his baseball bat. Staggering from pain the goon tried to regain his senses.
"This guy pretty tough looks like I'll need to up the ante" "PSI Offense Up" at his command his bat was surrounded by an orange energy
"Hey big guy" this caught the goons attention. Ness then took a batters pose and said "let's finish this"
In order to intimidate Ness the goon tore off his shirt and roared as loudly as he could, sounding more animal then human.
They had a brief stare off, before the goon charged forward ready to smash Ness's skull a devastating punch. When the goon got close enough Ness smacked the goon in the face with an energy charged bat.
SMAAAAAAASH
The impact sent the goon flying 10 feet into the air before falling headfirst onto the ground completely unconscious. The impact also caused a good sized crack in the floor.
BGM: Final Fantasy victory fanfare
"This boy has some incredible skills, it almost seems as though I don't have to train him at all, still no matter how good some is there always room for improvement" MH thought happily "Properly train this boy could do amazing things"
At that moment CH floated by MH only having recently regained consciousness from his earlier crash. CH looked around he saw 6 people in the game store unconscious, 4 had nasty looking wounds and 2 had recent looking burn marks. Outside the store he noticed a lot of bystanders looking at Ness with a combination of shock and awe as well as big guy unconscious on the floor "So did I miss anything"
End BGM
Meanwhile...
It was a dark room; the only lights came from the numerous small T.V screens.
Watching the T.V was an extremely pale man in his 60's, he had short gray hair and a short gray beard complete with short gray sideburns. His current clothing was not particularly interesting 9he was wearing his casual clothes). On the left side of his "throne" there were the controls to his T.V's
All his attention was currently focused on 1 particular T.V screen, one that showed Ness defeating the middle goon.
Using the controls he would watch Ness defeat the goon then replay the scene again and again and again
To be continued...
I've have taken a page out of Game2002's book and demonized people I don't like. The three goons are based on the concept of people who use religion as a way to hurt people (something I cannot abide). The music for this battle will be standard issue, meaning unless I say otherwise that's the music that will be played for battle. The victory fanfare will also be standard for the good guys winning, you may choose to imagine the fanfare from any final fantasy game you want (there all pretty much the same anyways).
