-Kirby and the others leaves Ness alone to help train Lucas for upcoming battles. And to build up their friendship. However, Ness isn't going to go easy on Lucas, just because he's new. He's going to go hardcore on him. Is Lucas up for it? -

NOTICE!-I'm going to take off my special chapter about Thanksgiving in a week or so. Don't worry, I'm posting it up when Thanksgiving hit's the U.S. around November. So look forward to it.

AN-Sorry for the long wait! (Bows) I had a few days of writers block and other stuff going on. By the way, this chapter has action in it. (Yay! Violence!... Jk :P) I think I've introduced all the main characters in this story now. So there's going to be "character profiles" at the end of each chapter. This will continue for about 4-6 chapters. So the little scenario things will be put on hold until then. Oh and italics means speaking in the character's in mind.

Oh! I update my profile frequently too. So you can check on my chapter's progress.

And thanks for all the review and favs people!

Without further a do. Onto the story.

ENJOY!


Chapter 6: Lesson 6- How to train somone new.

After lunch, our little rag tag group decided to go to the training room. However, one seemed to be not thrilled with this idea.

"Ahh, so why are we here again?" asked Ness, who was irritated

Pikachu rolled his eyes. "I told you like a thousand time. Were here to help Lucas train for upcoming brawls...Geez, do you have short-term memory loss?"

Ness narrowed his eyes. "Shut up, Pikachu...But, why do I have be in here?"

"Because, you are going to be Lucas's tutor." Nana explained

Ness twitched at what Nana said. "WHAT? Please tell me that you didn't say I was that Newbie's tutor! " He snarled

Nana sighs and repeats herself. "Yes, you are going to be Lucas's tutor."

"What the hell? I never agreed to that!"

"Yeaaahhh, we decided for you." Popo said.

"Why the hell me?!" argued Ness.

Toon Link rolls his eyes. "Because, last time I checked you and Lucas have similar powers."

"Yeah, and you can build some friendship with him too!" Pikachu added

"I will never be friends with a wimp like him!" Ness angrily pointed at Lucas; who was standing in corner of the room.

Kirby knew that Lucas wouldn't grow strong emotionally if his friends kept on defending him.

"Lucas...stop being afraid of Ness. You have to stand up to him! Show him your inner strength. Don't let your friends fight your battles for you!" Kirby whispered to Lucas.

"'I-I know, but, I'm still scared of him going psycho on me..." Lucas whined

Kirby sighs "I've said it many times now, and I'll say it again. I've got your back all the way. Also, he won't go "psycho" on you. He's around us, he would never beat the crap out of you in front of us."

"Yeah..But..."

Kirby punches Lucas lightly on the arm. "Come on, you can't always be a wimp. Stand up to Ness, if you don't you'll never get anywhere with him. I know you can do it!"

Trusting Kirby's words of encouragement. Lucas puts his foot down and stands up to Ness.

"P-Please don't say such things about me. You don't even know me. Give me a chance to prove myself! I promise to try my best, please teach me." Lucas begged

"..." Everyone, except for Kirby was at silence. For the first time Lucas actually spoke up and tried defend himself.

Upon seeing Lucas's determination, Ness smirked somewhat evilly.

"Heh, you have lots of guts to say that, Newbie. Fine, I'll give you a chance to prove yourself. But, don't you dare think I'll go easy on you. This is going to be hardcore training, so no bawling your eyes out if you get hurt. Got it?" Ness said

Lucas saluted like a solider ready for war. "Yes sir! I understand! I won't let you down." He exclaimed

Ness adjusted his hat. " Hmm...That's what I like to hear." He smirked

Popo put an hand on Lucas's shoulder. "Good luck, buddy. Your going to go through intense training, don't get too hurt."

Lucas nodded.

The rest of the group headed for the exit. "Well see ya in like an hour!"

"Hey wait! Where are you guys going?! Aren't you going to keep an eye on us?" Lucas stopped them.

Kirby waved it off. "Nah, Ness is a pro in PSI. Plus, were going to train somewhere else. We don't want to be here when Ness uses his PSI."

"But I-..."

"Yeah...So like we said see ya in an hour or so! Don't let yourself get killed!" Kirby teased and slammed the door, leaving the two PSI users alone.

Lucas fell on his knees. "Wait! Don't leave me!"

Ness stepped up to him. "Get up. If you want to be a true fighter you have to learn how to be independent and stand on your own."

Lucas stopped moping and stood up. Eye to eye with Ness.

"Are you ready?" Ness asked getting into his fight stance.

Lucas nodded "Yes!" He too got into his fighting stance.

"PK FIRE!" Ness shot a bolt of fire from his hands. Catching Lucas off guard, scorching him.

"Ow! Hey, what a cheap move!" Lucas grunted in pain.

Ness ignored him, running towards Lucas. "No whining! You have to prepare yourself for the unexpected! PK FIRE!" He shot another bolt of fire.

Lucas quickly dodged out of the way. Running away from Ness in the progress.

"Coward!" Ness called out to him. "See if you can run away from this... PK THUNDER!" He steered the ball of lighting towards himself.

Lucas stopped and looked back. "Ness! What are you doing?!"

Once the ball made contact with his body he launched himself. Hitting Lucas in the back at full speed, throwing him towards a wall. Cracking it. "AHH!"

"Running away will get you no where, Newbie. Hope you learned that lesson." Ness said, obviously not caring about Lucas.

"Ow! Ow! That really hurt..." Lucas stood up with a few scratches and bruises on him from the cracked wall.

"Stop complaining and put up a fight already!" Ness ran towards Lucas with a bat in hand.

"WHA!" Lucas was surprised and stuck out his hands in front of him. "P-PK FIRE!" Hitting Ness, making him fall back a few centimeters away from Lucas.

"Looks like your PK Fire has more fire power to it...It can knock others back quite a distance."

"..." Lucas wiped his face with his hands to get the dust off of him.

"Well, let see how you can handle this! PK FLASH!" He flew a huge green light towards Lucas.

Lucas dodges again while it explodes on the spot. "Don't look at it! Don't look at it! It'll blind me!" Lucas reminded himself mentally, shutting his eyes tight.

"Hmm...Good. Too bad you let your guard down!" Ness hammered Lucas with his bat.

"UGH!" Lucas screamed in pain, clutching his aching side.

"Oh, did I hit to hard for you? Well, no pain no gain right?!" Ness called out to him. " Now get up! And fight back! If you don't, you'll get no where in this tournament!"

Lucas grunted in pain, but slowly got up onto his two feet.

"Lets see if you can dodge this...PSI PARALYSIS!" Ness shot out a fast moving electrical current. (Note: I really don't know what PSI paralysis looks like)

Lucas jumps and barely dodges the attack. As he hits the ground, Lucas once again moans in pain and falls to his knees.

"Newbie! You can't always dodge my PSI, absorb it with your magnet!" Ness suggested to him.

Lucas tries to stand up. "What magnet are you talking about?" He asked.

"You have concentrate! Hurry up and use it! Or else you won't survive this training!" Ness was getting ready to charge up an PSI attack.

Lucas stuck out his hands in front of him. "Come on, PSI! Concentrate! Concentrate!" He concentrated hard, hoping something good was going to happen.

"Newbie! Ready or not...I'm going to attack you!...PK ROCKING!" Ness shot out multicolor of PSI energy.

"PSI MAGNET!" Lucas called out without thinking and putting up a purplish blue magnet in front of him. Absorbing in the incoming PK attack, healing him a bit in the process.

Lucas stared in amazement. "Wha? This type of shield is way different from the others I've used in the past. Also, it healed me a bit too." He thought.

"Looks like you you learned a new move. Not bad! Not bad for a newbie!" Ness smirked. "Now are you ready to actually fight back?"

Lucas clenched his fist and grew a little bit bolder. "Yes!" He charged up his PSI.

"Well, here I come!" Ness charged forward with his bat.

"Ah!" Lucas dodges Ness's swing. "PK LOVE!" He shoots hexagons towards Ness's unguarded back.

"Urgh..." Ness falls on the floor, but quickly recovers.

Lucas started to pant a bit. But, still had the determination to prove himself. "Wow...you sure are strong..."

"Heh, worry about yourself. Your okay for a newcomer, though." Ness snickered has he pulls something out from behind his back.

"What is that?" Lucas asked as pointed to the object that looks like a pair of bunny ears.

"Oh it's a bunny hood, something that will help me..." He puts it on.

Lucas couldn't help, but giggle at how silly Ness looked with bunny ears sticking out.

"Funny huh? I'll show you what this little bunny hood can do!" He dashed towards Lucas.

"What the? So fast!" Lucas tries to dodge all of Ness's attacks.

"Dodging is good and all. But, it won't let you win a match!" Ness hits him with his yo-yo.

Lucas stands his ground, but winces in pain from the yo-yo hit. "Your too fast though! How can I attack you?"

"Use your opponent's speed to your advantage! Predict when their going to strike! Once you see an opening...Strike!" Ness suggested to him, throwing an PK fire at him.

Lucas jumps up to the air, only to see Ness's grinning face in front of him. "Oh Sho-!" Ness spiked him to the ground with his foot.

Lucas hits the floor with his stomach, almost knocking the wind out of him. "NNHH!"

Ness lands in front of him. "Get up...were far from being done with this training."

Lucas struggled to pick himself up. His stomach was pounding in pain, making him feel like gagging.

"PK THUNDER!" Ness shouts out aiming a ball of lighting towards Lucas.

Rolling out of the way, Lucas put his hands in front of him. "PSI MAGNET!" Absorbing the ball of light, healing him a slight bit.

"Good, good. At least your using that technique...let see if you can take this." Ness bolts it towards Lucas with his bat.

"Okay...he's coming..." Lucas thought, getting ready. Once Ness was near him, Lucas quickly jumps out the way.

"What the he-!" Ness was caught off guard ramming into the wall.

"Yes! Chance!... PK LOVE!" He points his fingers downwards, and shoots PSI energy towards Ness. Hitting him directly.

"Nhhh..." Ness grunted in pain, but slowly got back to his feet.

Lucas stared in amazement. "Woah! You can still stand after that attack?"

"Don't underestimate me. I've taken more brutal attacks than that." Ness smirked, tossing the bunny hood aside. "Here I come!"

"Do your best!" Lucas called out.

Ness ran towards Lucas once again, getting ready to fire another PSI attack.

"Alright, he's going to fire another PSI attack. I'm going to use my magnet to absorb it." Lucas planned, mentally.

Lucas got ready to dodge. But, to his surprise once Ness got near him. He jumped up in the air and went behind Lucas. "Wha?!"

"PSI PARALYASIS!" Ness shot out an electrical current.

"Dang it!" Lucas tried his best to dodge, only to be hit in the legs. His legs started go numb and could barely move them. "What the? What did you do?"

Ness grinned. "Oh well, I was aiming for your whole body. But, your legs are good enough. At least you can't move now. To answer your question. PSI Paralysis makes any body part it comes in contact with, numb for a few minutes."

Lucas attempted to move his legs, but failed to. "Shoot, I'm completely helpless!" He thought.

"Lucas! Lucas! Use me!" Snake Rope came out his pocket.

"Snake Rope? What can you do? I can't move!" Lucas asked.

"Trust me, kid! Once the red-capped kid comes near you. Just throw me towards him. I'll do the rest." Snake Rope replied.

Ness stepped up to him. "So, I guess your helpless now huh?"

Lucas smirked. " I'm not finished yet! Go Snake Rope!" He threw Snake Rope, which had a tight grip on Ness's shirt.

"What the heck is this thing?!" Ness asked, suprised at the trick move.

"I'm not a thing, my name is Snake Rope. I'm pretty useful for grabbing things. Such as yourself... Now, Lucas pull!" Snake Rope commanded.

Lucas yanked on Snake Rope, bringing Ness in his grasp. He headbutted him a few times, and then used his PSI powers to throw him towards a wall, face-first. Causing a crack in the wall.

Lucas's legs started to get some feeling back. So he limped towards the downed Ness.

"I've got to admit. That was pretty impressive, Newb." Ness gets up wipping the small trace of blood from his mouth.

Lucas smiled. "Thanks. You too."

Ness staggers before getting back on his feet. "I'm not finished yet." He got his bat out.

Suddenly, Lucas fell to his knees, panting.

Ness stood up tall. "Heh, out of breath already?" He asked.

"No... just felt a bit light-headed there..." Lucas got up and put on his fighting stance. "I'm fine now."

"What the heck just happened there? Why did I feel like that?...Maybe I'm getting a bit tired, that's all." He thought.

"Well, that would be pretty pathetic if you were." Ness smirked, then ran towards Lucas once again.

"Please work!" Lucas put his hands together into the air. "PK FREEZE!" He shot out an huge blue snowflake.

"What the..."Ness was caught off guard and was hit with the attack. Freezing him into a block of ice.

"Wha?! I actually did it?" Lucas was surprised of himself. He looks at the block of ice. "Well, here my chance!" He charged forward with his...stick, and started to hit it continuously.

The block of ice shattered, after a few hits. Making Ness hit the ground, shivering.

He got up quickly and stared at Lucas. "W-What k-kind of a-attack was t-that?" He chattered his teeth.

"I'm pretty surprised my self. But, it's PK freeze." Lucas responded.

Ness still shivered. "T-that is o-one a-attack I n-never mastered. P-Pretty good I h-have to a-admit." He tried to put up a smirk.

"Well, there's going to be much more." Lucas said, getting his PSI ready.

Ness stopped shivering and got ready. "Then come get some..."


After2 hours of intense training...

Kirby and the gang came back to check up on the two PSI users.

Toon Link burst through the door. "Hey, were back!...Woah! What happened here?"

They were suprised that every wall and corner had been cracked. Some of the wall had chipped off to. And the floor was badly damaged too.

"Looks like a tornado went through here or something." Pikachu answered.

Kirby shoved both Toon Link and Pikachu out of the way. "Holy crap! What did you guys do in here?!" He asked the two teens, who were panting.

Ness was bruised up and had cuts on his face. But, it wasn't as bad compared to Lucas's injuries. He had dried up cuts on his face,legs and arms. Plus, he was pretty bruised up too.

Ness glared at Kirby. "What does it look like? We were training here, hardcore style."

"Yeah...and I thought you guys were...coming back in an hour... not two." Lucas breathed heavily.

Everyone winked, except for the two PSI teens. "Yeah... about that, we purposely did that. Because we wanted you to build friendship between, red-hat guy over there." Popo smirked.

"If you guys didn't come after an another hour, I would've been dead!" Lucas exclaimed.

"Aww come on, your exaggerating Lucas." Nana said.

Lucas shook his head. "No, Ness was like a tank when he was training me!"

"Well... it's kind of true." Kirby agreed

"HEY!" Bellowed Ness.

Toon Link clapped his hands to get everyone's attention. "Well, torture is over for Lucas...for now. How about you guys clean up yourselves and we'll meet you in the Rec room.I think that's enough fighting for today."

Everyone nods their heads in agreement.

"What does he mean for now?" Lucas asked himself


Dorm hallway...

Ness was the one to go ahead. While Lucas slowly straddled behind him. Then a jolt came across to him.

"Wait!" Lucas called out to Ness.

He turned around. "What is it?"

"I can't get into Kirby's room. I Don't have the key!"

Ness shrugs. "So, what? Not my problem, just go find him and get his key." He suggested.

Lucas starts to play with his fingers. "Um... can't I just go in our room?"

"No." He rejected with no hesitation.

"Why not?"

"Because, I don't allow newbs." He answered.

"That's a bad answer. Plus were roommates."

"Not in my eyes."

Lucas looks down in disappointment.

Ness remembered that he had to at least try to be nice to Lucas.

Ness sighs. "Alright I guess you can come. But, I get dibs on the shower first."

Lucas looks up at smiles. "Thank you so much!"

--

Earthbound Room...after both of them take 10 minutes showers...

Both of them had to change out of their sweating clothes and threw them into the laundry. Lucas was wearing a red striped shirt. While Ness was wearing (yeah... you guessed it) his shirt.

Lucas was on his part of the bunk, rubbing his scars and bruises on his body. "Ow ow ow..." He grunted in pain trying to bandage his cuts.

Ness was getting annoyed by Lucas grunting. "Hey newbie, do you mind?"

Lucas looks over at Ness. "Sorry, but these bruises and cuts hurt real bad." He explained. "You went pretty rough on me back there."

"Well, quit your complaining. Your going to get even more hurt in this tournament. Those small injures are nothing."

"Yeah well..." Lucas notices that Ness's face, arms and legs were injured-free. "Wait a minute... why aren't you covered in cuts and bruises anymore?" He asked.

"Don't act dumb. It's obvious that I used PK Healing." He narrowed his eyes at Lucas.

"Well...isn't that kind of cheating?"

Ness looks at him like he's crazy. "No, it's only cheating if I'm using it in battle. If it's outside, it's completely fine."

Lucas looked dumbfounded. " Oh I see... then I'll try." "But, I'm not sure if I can do it right..."

"PK Healing!" He put his arm on his legs first. After the glow of light settled. The injures were slightly gone, but still visible. "What?"

Ness comes over to see Lucas's work. "Hmph, looks like you still haven't mastered healing yet. Huh?"

Lucas looks down with a sadden face. "Sadly, no...I've forgotten how to use it properly."

Ness sighs. "Well...I guess I can treat you to something for your hard work today. Stay still." He puts his hands on Lucas's back. "PK Healing!"

Lucas was engulfed by a bright light. He was starting to feel refreshed. After the light went away, Lucas looks all over his body. All his injures have disappeared.

"Wow, that was amazing healing Ness! Thanks." He complimented.

Ness crosses his arms nodding at his work, making him feel good inside.

"Well, don't think I'll ever do that again. I just felt sorry for you." He warns Lucas.

Even though his tone of voice made Lucas a bit sad, He still put up a smile. He felt like every time he talked to Ness. He was peeling tiny layers of his shell that bordered him and Ness's friendship.
