So...last time was interesting. Moon clearly has plans he is keeping secret from others but there is one thing he needs what or who could it be?
Chapter 9: Moon a Monkey
Lucas, Duster, Kumatora, Boney, and Salsa were all waiting by the house in the outskirts of Fiver city. Soon Lucas said, he'll be back we can defeat him easily and get out of here with Paula before his friends make it out. Kumatora sighed, Lucas please if his friends do come out Duster has smoke bombs we'll be one hundred percent fine. This better work Salsa said I can't bear to think of what Pokey is doing to them right now. Listen Salsa Duster said, Samba will be perfectly fine unless she is a physic monkey Pokey definitely has gotten smarter though he won't torture them otherwise he'd have nothing on us. While the 5 were talking Moon silently walked behind them listening to their conversation and thoughts. After a bit he said, I'm sure Ness will understand Lucas after all it is...What exactly for the potential destruction of Paula, and frankly every other world? The 5 turned around to see the blue hooded boy behind them. How did you not pick up his scent Boney? Duster said irritably. Do you want me to answer that? Boney asked him. I must say Lucas, Moon began. I'm disappointed, the 5 of you worked together against Pokey to save your world and the ones you love. However, when it comes to others in this world you simply don't care? We do, Kumatora said but just who are you exactly and how do you know Lucas.
The boy smiled. I know many things Princess Kumatora, Boney, Duster, and Salsa. Hang on, your that Moon kid aren't you Lucas said, I thought Pokey killed you. He smiled that is none of your business he said. I'm just here to tell you to stop going after Paula. Why should we? Duster said. I'm willing to make a deal, Moon said. Please Kumatora said we are in no position to trust you at this point you know our names and are deadly. I agree Salsa said what could possibly have for us. That I am not willing to tell you unless you wish to make the deal, Moon repiled. Lucas pointed his finger at Moon, Kumatora got her hands ready, Duster pulled out a Thunder bomb, Boney a pencil rocket, and Salsa an ancient banana. An non physic like Pokey may not be able to beat you Kumatora said. But the 5 of us definitely will. Moon chuckled, I don't want to fight you guys he said, but I guess I have no choice. PK LOVE! Lucas shouted, PK STARSTORM said Kumatora. Duster, Boney and Salsa, threw their attack items at him. PK EARTH Moon said, the wall of rocks came up before him shielding from the attacks. PK ROLLIN! He shouted as multi colored beams of light came out knocking over all except Lucas. PK HYDRO! He said as the water vortex surrounded Kumatora, Duster, Salsa, and Boney. Checkmate Lucas, he said. Lucas frowned fine you win we'll stop pursuing Paula and help you. Moon chuckled, please Lucas he said I want something much more than that. The vortex of water I have created around your friends is moving at a pretty quick speed. Fast enough that jumping through it won't work. Swimming certainly isn't much of an option either he said. Now if that vortex were to close…Lucas turned pale. Fine he said what do you want. For you to take my original deal he said. Stop pursuing Paula, and I'll give you your friends and family. Upon that Claus, Flint, Wess, Samba, and Alec came out of the forest. He lowered the vortex. The 4 in there stared in shock. However, he said you are to remain in this world until this problem is dealt with and I am also going to need Salsa. You freed Samba, Salsa's girlfriend and are now going to separate them, some hero you are why do you need him anyways Kumatora said. Moon frowned, I'm also a hero as well princess, a hero with secrets I don't share to strangers
Salsa sighed, fine I'll come with you. Don't worry Moon said I'll take care of him I'm not Fassad. Ok your starting freak me out how do you know so much about us Kumatora said. Your minds scream open during terror it's not my fault I can hear your thoughts. Regardless, he said I will leave you to yourselves until further notice. Now where do you guys want to live for the time being? Lucas Duster and Kumatora looked at each other I guess why don't you send us to Saturn Valley, Duster said. All of us, Salsa I'll leave this up to you do you want Samba to come with us. Salsa thought about it certainly being with Samba would be great but at what risks? Samba you go with them he said, Kumatora take care of her. Ok Moon said his hand flashed pink and opened the portal to Saturn Valley. Bye guys he said, I'll take care of Salsa.
Moon and Salsa waited in the forest for Ness and Paula. What exactly is the point of this Salsa asked while he peeled a luxury banana I mean from the looks of things you have everything under your control like some sort of storyteller, or video-game player. I wish it was that simple Moon responded, but I want to make a few things clear Salsa, from here it's basically comes down to Paula. Should Pokey attack them it's just You, me, and her. Why her exactly? I mean sure I get it she killed Giygas by praying but still. I mean you certainly have strange ways of how you work. I mean i'm probably the weakest of the 5 and you a powerful physic along with Paula need me I want you for a few reasons Salsa but for now it remains essential that You me and Paula get away from here if we have to. Also I don't just have these bananas with me he said not exactly common in this world you might wanna slow down. Don't worry bout that Salsa said I always have Bananas with me. Although I wanted to ask you something. Why would you want me to help you? Look I'm a monkey, you are literally the strongest physic I've ever seen dealing with all the pigmasks, Pokey, and Us by yourself. Once you have the others you're practically unstoppable. Moon looked at the monkey for a bit. True he said I can deal with major problems by myself and if I tried I could probably defeat Pokey by myself, but you may prove handy with those tricks of yours, also Paula is essential to Pokey's plan making her safety my number 1 priority. Now how about you hop on my shoulder we need to enter the mindscape not a word to Sarah though he said.
Mindscape: Moon and Salsa entered the Mindscape, Sarah came into view a moment later. Moon...Is that a monkey? Surprised you noticed Moon said, This is Salsa he is one of Lucas's friends I've already dealt with them and sent them to Saturn Valley. So you are coming back? We'll get to see you again? Sarah said. Possibly Moon said I won't arrive until later maybe not even today I still have a few things to deal with. Sarah sighed, guess I shouldn't get my hopes up then. Listen I came to introduce you to Salsa and let you know I've finished I shall see you soon. For two people so obviously in love, you two really don't seem to show it towards each other. Salsa said to them. Of course you can speak, Sarah said. Moon glared at Salsa, Hey don't look at me like that Moon, I technically didn't speak to her I spoke to both of you.Fine let's just go we have a some things to deal with, Moon said.
Reality: Salsa looked at Moon, so what's the deal he said your not returning now after all that you know she loves you. I was going to return with Ness and Paula, Moon said but we will hide out here, just in case. You never know what Pokey could be planning.
So um mild disclaimer: Salsa is going to be the only mother 3 character for a while, Lucas, Kumatora, Duster, and Boney will get a bigger role later on I just felt that I'd focus on my personal favorite party member from Mother 3.
