Me(KawaiiFerret): I can't stop stop listening to scary Vocaloid songs… I might have a problem…

I don't own anything. Nintendo owns their Nintendo stuff, not me. Did you know Kooky is owned by DiC Entertainment? Kooks appears in this chapter… Wait. Is that why he isn't here?! Oh gosh! What if he is trying to kill my friends!? OH CRAP.

The Holoboard was cracked straight in the middle, two flash drives was stuck in the middle of the two almost-broken pieces. Tom grabbed one and ran off. I grabbed the other and bolted out of the school.

"Umm Melody-" Miles couldn't finish his sentence since I was already dashing home with the N.C.C in my left hand and the flash drive in my right. I could hear Miles running and yelling behind me, but he soon lost his breath and fell on the ground. Clumsy nerdy stereotype, huh. I didn't expect that from him.

I slammed the door shut behind me and ran into my room. My laptop lay on my bed, unused for months… I plugged the flash drive in and watched a… Kind of familiar face come on the screen… My heart sank into the bottom of a dark void. I failed to get my own partner back. I felt my head slam on my bed.

"You act like you DON'T WANT TO SEE ME. Is it because I'm NOT THE SAME?!" The figure said. The screen glitched and the figure disappeared.

"It's just, you don't look like Ludwig..." My faith was slipping away. I felt someone grab my head and pull it up, I yelped in fear and surprise.

"Look. We can find Ludwig or not. We, and by that I mean Lud and myself, are going to die in some amount of time while being separated." The kid looked me in the eyes, his crimson eyes burned through my head.

"Hey. Wait a second!" I stood up at grabbed the boy by his arm. He was somewhat shorter than me. "Who the heck are you?! And what do you mean by 'die'?!"

The kid brushed some of his blue hair out of his eyes. "I'm going to die without Ludwig…" He walked out of my bedroom door and stopped to stare back at me. "I'm just Kooky."

Congrats to the parents that named THIS kid. Wait a minute… Is this what I loaded up in my computer?! How could he come out of the video game realm? This "Kooky" guy needs to answer a few questions!, I thought while walking behind my new "partner".

"How are you not affected by the boundaries between my world and your's?" I asked Kooky. Who found an old pair of red converse shoes and hastily put them on his bare feet.

"Oh, umm… Let's see. I don't really belong to this 'video game' world and my 'world' collapsed from the outside. Everything being torn apart, thrown away, left for the crows… I could only sit and watch everyone I knew and worked with disappear into bits of sketches and memory~ I thought the world's destruction was quite divine, you know~" Kooky took a break to laugh a bit. Then continued his story. "I could feel the "unneeded" parts of me being trashed and forgotten about. Mario was on the ground in pain, he lost his voice~ And Luigi was only and erased drawing, with some color and outlines still showing! While everyone, including myself, DIED I kept laughing, I couldn't stop! The pain grew and grew until I looked the STUPID MAKERS OF MYSELF AND EVERYONE ELSE THAT WOULD BE GONE SOONER OR LATER, I said, 'A show with no true ending? Really?'. And I died. The next thing I knew was that I had invaded another me's body and was back to my gruesome antics~ Then I was suppressed in the other me's mind… I DID NOT ENJOY THAT!" Kooky took a long breath and then slammed his fist against the wall. "Then… After years of being a spectator of 'my' life… I- No. We, Ludwig and myself, were shattered into two. Then I met you."

I was speechless. The boy in front of me had died and was somewhat forgotten about. Thrown away by the people that made him. Is that what the Nintendo characters felt like now? I wanted to to help them- No! I was DETERMINED to help them now! I couldn't fail! Not after what Kooky told me. I would save them all. Not now but soon.

"Let's go find the Piano Snob, girl." Kooky walked out the door with his ripped lab coat almost dragging against the ground.

"Piano Snob?" Kooky laughed, and responded with, "Yeah, I'm the Homicidal Otaku Scientist, and Ludwig is Piano Snob."

Kooky and I walked for a while then I abruptly stopped and said out loud. "Where are we even going?"

Kooky looked back at me and simply responded with: "We're going to the bastard Tom's house and breaking in aren't we?"

"We don't really need to break in do we?" I whispered to myself, Gosh, he is crazy isn't he… I guess the name implies what you should expect from him… I thought. The walk was mostly silent, I could have accidentally said something to trigger Kooky's feelings for his old world if I said anything. The weather was warm, but that's pretty off-subject, isn't it? I was also thinking about how I could beat Tom at his little duel matches. Kooky didn't have any weapon on him, or did he? He was pretty weird… I could expect him to carry around a gun or something.

Tom was most likely going to try to beat me at a fight. I could win with- Oh no. Oh gosh no. I forgot Lemmy at home! How could I have done that?! That's so stupid!

"Hey, girl, snap out of your daze! We're here." Kooky snapped his fingers in front of my face a couple of times and I shook my head to return to reality. I knocked on the door, a friendly lady opened it.

'Hello? Oh, are you two friends with Tom?" She turned around. "Tom, you have visitors!"

I didn't really want to speak in front of Tom's mom and Kooky didn't look like he could speak reasonably with her. He was trembling, for goodness sakes! "C-can we come in… Ma'am?" Kooky said with an uneasy voice. Tom's mother let us inside and Tom stared in shock. But someone was next to him. Was it Ludwig? It was. But something was wrong. He was "falling apart". Kooky ran up to Ludwig and hesitated to do anything… Then he hugged Ludwig. Ludwig refused to share any compassion with his other half until he realized Kooky wasn't hugging him, he was ABSORBING him. Kooky flashed a demonic smile and whispered into Ludwig's ear. "Did you REALLY think I would hug YOU?!"

Ludwig was turned into light and was finally absorbed by his other half. "It was for the better good for the both of us~" Kooky laughed a bit. I pinned Kooky on the ground before he could do anymore damage.

"Do.. You… Really think that… Someone like… me… Could ever learn their lesson? Or… Do you think that I have some kind of… Goodness… In my unjust and corrupted heart? I... was MADE to NOT LOVE others... I… Could NEVER be YOUR… Partner… I'm not the holy kind of person… You need for a friend… Or am I?"

"Huh?!" I said as Kooky got up and pushed me off him, "Did you REALLY think I would betray someone like YOU? You somewhat understand what I've been through! Plus, Ludwig isn't gone, he's inside me. We've become one again." Kooky smiled. "The Homicidal Otaku Scientist and Piano Snob duo, how does THAT sound?"

I couldn't help but laugh, The Homicidal Otaku Scientist and the Piano Snob DUO. The whole time I had them I thought they were one being, but two people sharing one body- one SOUL. That was different.

Kooky fell on his knees, his face pale. "I don't feel well… I think I need some meds~" He collapsed and transformed. Tom's face went paler than a shut-in's skin tone and his mouth hung open. I opened my hands and watched as a new N.C.C hovered there in the air for a second or two, then dropped down for me to catch in my open palms. The left part had royal blue as a base color and black music notes but as spread into the right side, the notes transformed into silver knives and the blue became a crimson red.

"Just call my name if you need me~" Said Kooky with a bunch of giggles and an annoyed 'SHUT UP, YOU BLOODY IDIOT.' from Ludwig only seconds after.

Tom looked at the machine in disbelief. "How come YOU get all of the good characters?! Are you destined to 'free them all'?!" Tom yelled in a mock tone. "I've spent HOURS training and you get everything done by those electric SERVANTS!"

"Did I hear something about servants? Me~? Tom, do you REALLY want me to come OUT THERE AND RIP YOU TO BLOODY SHREDS?!" Kooky retorted in a hostile tone.

"Kooky, please don't..." I tried to keep the peace going. "Tom, you could join me. Maybe my good luck will rub off on you?"

"Well- I- Umm..." Tom stumbled on his words.

"You don't have many friends do you? Come on. Take my hand and let's make this stupid and corrupted world a better place!"

Tom grasped my hand, I smiled politely back at him. "Peace in a war is fun isn't it?"

"Yeah." He nodded. And smiled. It wasn't his usual smug kind of smile, this one was real.

The second we had made peace, Tom's mother walked into the room we where in with a plate of cookies. "I've made cookies for you kids!"

Tom's mother soon became terrified as Kooky came out his N.C.C morph and tried to snatch away the plate. Tom and I started laughing while trying to subdue the crazed kid. "Kooky! Stop!" I commanded while laughing. I wonder what Miles would of thought of this! He would've been fleeing from this scene the second all the action started! I thought to myself.

Tom and I had become friends, really good friends in fact. Maybe could have more people join our group! But… It would become a long process to change everyone's beliefs of how Nintendo characters were used. It would be hard.

But I said I was DETERMINED to save everyone, right?
