Dalaam, in the Far East. At the palace, the crown prince, Poo, prepares for a big day. His master comes up to talk to him.

"Prince Poo, the time has now come for you to undertake your final trial. Go to the Place of Emptiness and endure this final test. I am praying for your success in this final stage of your training."

"Thank you, Master Qi," said Poo.

As Poo heads to the Place of Emptiness, all of the girls in Dalaam scream with joy, swoon, and faint at the sight of him as he passes by. When he gets there, the Star Master appears before him.

"You have nice eyes," the Star Master said.

"Thank you."

"You must be Prince Poo. Long ago, I completed Mu Training. I want to show you a higher level of intelligence... However, I'm still realizing and learning this high level... I'll see you again. So long!"

The Star Master leaves via a tornado. Poo climbs up to the top and begins to meditate. As Poo meditates, a spirit appears before him.

"Prince Poo... I am the spirit of your ancient lineage. To complete your trial, I am going to break your legs. You will lose the use of them."

As Poo goes through the painful trial, his master watches from the palace.

"Prince Poo... this is your toughest test. But knowing you, I believe you'll triumph at the end..."

Poo lies there on the mountain, unconscious. He wakes up and gets on his feet. No, he isn't really gravely injured and unable to sense things; that was all a test, after all. Poo heads back to the palace where his master congratulates him.

"I am proud. You have completed your Mu training. I, Yi-Si-Qi, have nothing left to teach you. Prince Poo, I shall relay a message to you from the heavens. The evil entity that controls all wickedness is preparing for the greatest struggle of all time... The only ones who can challenge the entity are three boys and one girl. One named Ness is the leader of the four. One of the boys is you, Prince Poo. Now that you've completed your training, search out Ness at once. For the countless people out there… For the peace of the world… May you become a powerful force!"

Poo, having become stronger from his Mu training, teleports out of the palace and meets up with Ness, Paula, and Jeff.

"Who are you?" Paula asked.

"My name is Poo. I am the one who will fight beside you. I am the servant of Ness. I will obey Ness."

"Ness, NESS!"

"Huh? What happened?" said Ness. "One minute, I was eating this cake, and the next thing I know, I saw myself in this far-off land, watching this prince get his limbs broken and torn off..."

"Ahem. Ness! I am Prince Poo. I am the 4th chosen one. My life is in your hands."

"Really? That's awesome!"

Now there are 4 heroes together.

"Poo, I'm Paula, and this is Jeff," Paula greeted.

"Hi, Poo," said Jeff.

"Hello, Jeff."

"So, Poo, we're heading to Scaraba..." said Ness.

"Yes, I know. But before we do, we must head to the museum in this city."

Our heroes head to the museum and go inside. There were artifacts on display. They were Rum Raisin's various hand-me-downs. Upstairs, there was another room that Poo leads the others to. The curator was outside the door to the room.

"This room is being remodeled, so I can't show it to you... Oh, the samurai kid is here. Will he be giving me that gem?"

"Gem?" said Ness.

"Here, sir, take this ruby," said Poo.

Poo gives the ruby to the curator.

"You're such a good student," said the curator. "I'm impressed by your passion for learning. Come in."

Our heroes head inside the room, where Poo reads the hieroglyphs.

"To fight against invaders, we built this pyramid fortress. However, our efforts were futile, and we lost. Nonetheless, our pyramid was protected by the gods of Scaraba. The invaders will be reborn every millenium and will attack again. Even now, the invaders hide beyond space and time and build their evil stronghold. A place out of time is beyond the Dark, and is even farther beyond the Lost Underworld. The Deep Darkness is shrouded, it is without light. Only one with the Hawk eye can pierce the dark. The Sphinx now watches over everything, waiting for the coming of a truly brave hero... Ness, the pyramid is the key! We must head to Scaraba at once!"

"Wait one second," said the curator. "Here's a picture of the hieroglyphs just for you. It's a reward for studying so hard. Use it in your Human Civilization class. Ha ha ha!"

The curator give our heroes the picture and they leave. As they head out the museum door, the phone rings, and Ness answers.

"Hello?"

"Hello! Is this Mr. Chopstick of the Scaraba Cultural Museum?... It doesn't sound like you... Well, I'll quickly tell you my story, 'cause I'm busy, busy, busy! I found something so extraordinary that mere words could not do it justice."

"Who are you?"

"What do you mean who am I? Don't you recognize my voice? It's me, Mr. Ricebowl from the Fourside Museum of Natural History! Look Mr. Chopstick, I'm not exaggerating this find! I'm telling you... It's fantastic!... It's outrageous!..."

Back in Fourside, everybody teleports there, and go to the museum. They go over to Mr. Ricebowl, who is at the door to the back room.

"Do you want to know about something extraordinary? ... Hmmmm... You know, there's a new singer named Venus at the Topollo Theater. Could you bring me her autograph on an eraser? Then, I'll show you something extraordinary... Oh, if you can get her autograph on anything, don't worry about the eraser... I don't care if the autograph is written on toilet paper..."

Our heroes head to the Topollo Theater and purchase a ticket to see Venus. They sit down in their seats.

"Oh, baby baby baaabyyy! Don't make me hurt so bad! These guys are all stone cold gone for you... Ow! ...You cute, sexy thing, you!... Baby, sing to me!... Sing to me only!... Baby! Venus! Just sing, and I can die a happy man!... Baby!... I wanna hold you tight!... Venus!..."

After the M.C.'s anguished cries of love, Venus takes the stage. She was BEAUTIFUL. Long, flowing blonde locks in a black dress and pristine white gloves. Venus began to sing her song, which lasted 2 to 3 minutes. When she was finished, Mr. Ricebowl tries to get on stage, but the security guards grab him. After the show, the kids walk up to the guard by the green room door.

"Hi, we're friends with the Tonzura Bros.," said Ness.

"Ah, you're a friend of the Tonzura Bros. Did you come to see Miss Venus? Come inside quickly, and don't let the other fans see you enter."

Ness and the others enter the green room.

"Hi, did you enjoy the show?" said Venus.

"Yes," said Ness. "Now, I would like to have something of yours."

"Oh, you want an autograph? Okay, I'll give you my autograph on this banana peel..."

Venus takes a piece off a banana peel and signs it.

"Here you go."

Ness got the Signed Banana.

"Oh, and this is a bonus..."

Venus kisses Ness on the forehead, and he blushes into a stupor.

"Venus..."

"Okay, let's go," said Paula as she drags Ness off. She then sweetly says, "It was nice meeting you, Venus."

"See you some other time, Miss Venus," said Jeff.

"I bet all of the other women in Eagleland are as beautiful as you are, Lady Venus," said Poo.

"Thank you, kids," said Venus.

Back at the Fourside Museum...

"You got it! That banana peel has an authentic Venus autograph? Yup, there's no doubt about it! Now for my promise. I'll tell you about something extraordinary." said Mr. Ricebowl. "In the next room, there is a light shining from far, far below the manhole. There, I found a huge, monster rat!"

"Listen, I can believe a giant mushroom in Winters, but a giant rat in Fourside is impossible, even in a sewer!" said Jeff.

"I'm not trying to pull your leg... I'll let you go there and check it out yourself."

"Thank you, Mr. Ricebowl," said Ness.

Our heroes head into the sewers to look for the rat.

"Eww," said Paula. "It's so gross!"

"And it smells horrible," said Poo.

"It IS a sewer, guys," said Jeff.

After what seemed like a mile of wandering around in a sewer, they eventually come across the rat. It was big, ugly, and missing flesh on the back.

"You finally got here," said the Plague Rat of Doom. "This is the fifth Your Sanctuary location. But it's mine now. Take it from me, if you dare..."

Our heroes get on their toes and get ready to attack. However, the PRoD swings his tail at the group, knocking them into the sewage. They get back up on their feet.

"I'll get him with my Magnum Gun!" said Jeff.

Jeff shoots at the rat, weakening him. He tries to swing his tail again, but the group jumps over that.

"PK ROCKIN!"

"PK FREEZE!"

"PK THUNDER!"

The combined PSI attacks hit the Plague Rat of Doom, defeating it. Our heroes climb out of the sewer and end up outside at a strange, sparkling mound of rocks. Poo finds something on the ground. It looked like a carrot.

"Ah, a carrot," said Poo as he picks it up. "Now, this carrot is for something, but what?"

Just then, a melody plays. For a split-second, Ness saw a baby bottle. He then lowers his head and sighs.

"Ness, what's wrong?" said Paula.

"I want to go home."

"WHAT!" the others said in unison.

"But why?" said Jeff.

"It's homesickness, Jeff," said Poo. "I felt that I'd do this sooner than Ness, but I guess I was wrong."

"Sorry, guys."

"Well, I guess if Ness wants to go home, I guess we should, too, right, Jeff, Poo?"

"I can't Teleport, Paula," said Jeff. "But, you did say that there's scientists my age in your hometown, right?"

"Yeah, Apple Kid and Orange Kid."

"I think I might want to help Apple Kid out for a while."

"Well, I guess Ness and I are going to our respective homes," said Poo.

"Sorry that you'll have to take the bus, Paula," said Ness.

"No problem, Ness. Here, I'll give you something before we part ways for now."

"What is it?"

Paula kisses Ness, causing him to blush.

"I may never wash this cheek again, unless my mom tells me to."

After having Poo join the group and getting the 5th melody, Ness decides to go home, as well as everyone else. However, Gyiyg may strike again, sooner or later, and they'll have to unite again and continue their adventures.
