Chapter 21: Kumatora
Back in Andonuts' lab, the Phase Distorter 4 is complete.
Andonuts: Just in time, kids. I finished the newest Phase Distorter.
Abel: Nice. Now we can get that stupid artifact and beat that Deoxys already.
Andonuts: That's the spirit. However, allow Ness to join you.
Ivysaur: *still reading that paper* Why?
Samus: Yeah. I can go. It's not like I have any...*a phone rings*...Hold on.
Abel: Is it safe for four to go in.
Andonuts: If its safe for four in the last Phase Distorter, *Jeff looks at Andonuts weirdly* then it's safe for four in this one.
Samus: Sorry, but I actually HAVE something to do elsewhere. But I'll be back for my powerup. It's one-of-a-kind.
Andonuts: Very well. You may leave.
Ivysaur: Bye, Samus.
Samus: Bye. *Samus leaves*
Abel: And then there are three. Let's go, Ness.
Andonuts: Get ready. This may hurt you a bit, but that's a way to tell that it works.
Ivysaur: Hit it!
Andonuts: Activating the Phase Distorter 4 NOW!
Ness joins the party. Abel, Ivysaur, and Ness entered the Phase Distorter. Some sparks here and there, but in an instant, there came a flash.
When all seemed over, Abel exits the Phase Distorter and finds himself in a rediculously large and odd-looking city. Ivysaur and Ness follows and reacts similarly to Abel. Abel looks around and sees a pink-haired girl lying down, unconscious. Abel and Ness heal her with PSI Lifeup. She wakes up, confused.
Girl: What the? How the heck did I ended up here.
Abel: You all right?
Girl: I am, but my friends...have you seen them?
Ivysaur: We found you all alone.
Girl:...Was that plant thing talking to me?
Abel: Yeah. Look, you. We can find your friends if you can help us.
Girl: Whatever. I'm Kumatora.
Abel: I'm Abel. The "plant thing"...call her Ivysaur. And the kid with the cap? That's Ness.
Kumatora: Ness? That's an odd name. Okay. What do you need, 'cause my friends and I were just up there?
Ivysaur: Up...THERE?
The group looks up and sees a large building that seems to go on forever.
Abel: No wonder you were unconscious. A fall like that could've killed you.
Kumatora: I accidentally ran towards the Ultimate Chimera and it bit me to oblivion.
Ivysaur: O...Kay.
Abel: My friends and I are looking for a mushroom-sized...
Kumatora: A mushroom-sized stone artifact endowed with evil from another world?
Ivysaur: Yeah, that's pretty accurate.
Kumatora: Andonuts told me all about it. He said that Porky has one.
Ness: WHAT?
The group turns to Ness. Abel and Ivysaur have never heard Ness speak.
Ness: Porky? Minch?
Kumatora: Yeah. Minch. You heard of him?
Ness: He was my next door neighbor before he time-traveled. He was scared of me trying to kill him for siding with Giygas, the Universal Destroyer, which my friends and I managed to defeat in a time machine like that one over there.
Abel:...For a silent kid like you, you sure have a lot to say...
Ness: Then if Porky, or should I say Pokey, has one of those things, then maybe he's trying to either resurrect Giygas, or doing what Giygas was trying to do in my time: Taking over and destroy the world.
Kumatora: Well, the "taking over" part is true right now, but unless you help me rally my friends to defeat him, he will might as well destroy the world by summoning the Dark Dragon.
Abel: Then let's go already!
Kumatora joins the party. She takes the others to the Empire Porky Building. After what seems like days of elevator rides and defeating every enemy in sight getting there, Kumatora and the others see two of her friends, Duster and the dog Boney, being chased by the Ultimate Chimera.
Abel: LIBRA! *Abel scans the Ultimate Chimera for weaknesses while it chases Kuma's friends* Whoa. That thing can't be killed. But it has an off button. Ivysaur, distraction. Ness, hit the button.
Ivysaur and Ness: Okay!
They do just that with Ivysaur Razor Leafing UC's face. The UC runs toward Ivysaur and Ness climbs UC's back and pushes the button.
Duster: Kill the bird! It can push the button to revive the thing.
Ness uses his signature PSI Rockin to literally blow up the bird.
Kumatora: Where's Lucas?
Duster: Huff...huff...He's alone in the top floor.
Boney: *barks twice*
Kumatora: Then let's go help. He doesn't have a chance to face Porky, or his brother, alone.
Ivysaur:...His...
Abel:...Brother?
The group rushes to the top floor, again defeating every enemy in sight. Along the way, Kumatora learns PSI Ground.
When they reached the top floor, there was nothing but a platform going down. All went down, with Abel and Ivysaur having an actual safe landing due to Abel's summonable wings and Ivysaur's leaves (which work as wings). Of course, the two had to hold everyone else with telekinesis, or else they'll die. Everyone runs the only path there is to reach Lucas before it's too late.
