Chapter 24: Luck be Loid
Teddy, Ness, and Lucas arrived outside of a laboratory on the edge of a mountain. So Teddy are you going to explain to us what's going on Lucas asked. Yeah we are kind of in a hurry, Ness said. Don't fret yer friends will be fine, Teddy said. Yeah well our third friend didn't think so. Yer third friend, based on what the two of yeh have told me, deserves to think like that. I don't blame em, he promised to keep that Sarah girl safe, then yer friend Paula, he feels responsible for this predicament cause he couldn't protect em, I frankly don't blame em for acting the way he did to y'all. Listen we need you to help us figure out a way to get home so we can stop Giygas and Pokey, save our friends, and hopefully bring peace back to earth. Yeh two really gonna do that without em? Teddy asked. Ness and Lucas both looked at each other. Well yeah...he gave up hope, Teddy shook his head, he didn't give up hope, he's just upset bout his friends. He'll come around eventually. Anywho, here we are, Loid Laboratory.
Ness and Lucas both looked at the lab, it shared a resemblance to Dr. Andonuts lab. So um Teddy? Yeh? This Loid, he's your friend, and he can help us. He and two others, Teddy said. The three walked into the lab, it was quite big, many rooms as well. Teddy led them to the back of the lab. Loid never liked working with anyone, I kept telling him he should hire someone. In the room, a man in his early 20s was sitting in the room, he had white hair and like Jeff, also had glasses. He turned around as they entered the room. Teddy if I've told you once I've told you a billion times, the man said turning, he fell silent upon seeing Ness and Lucas. Are these the two? He asked. Yep that's Ness the blonde one is Lucas. They've gotta third friend named Moon, but he ain't here dealing with an emotional problem. Loid examined Ness and Lucas. What's their story? Loid asked. Parently, there's some chubby kid named Porky...Pokey Ness corrected. Anywho, this Pokey fellow is in allegiance with Giygas, appears he fled to a different world after losing to the three of yeh 10 years ago, Teddy said. Lucas and I aren't from your world, Moon isn't from your world. We need your help to get back to our world and save our friends before Pokey revives Giygas and takes over every world imaginable, Ness said.
M'kay then, Loid said. I can see your problem, however, I do not have a way to travel between dimensions. Well...that's a problem, Ness said. Our friend has a trans-dimensional diary book that allows us to travel between dimensions but...he's not here. That would be Moon right? Loid asked. Correct, he kind of teleported away from us in his despair after what happened with our friends. Okay then, Teddy said, if we're gonna help the two of yeh, we need our friends to help. Loid picked up a phone and dialed a few numbers...Ninten? He asked after a while. Hey nice to talk to you to, listen how soon can you get over to my lab? What? You were on your way out? M'kay...how's Ana? M'Kay tell her I said hi. What did I want to talk about? Oh um yeah, it's about Giygas. What'd you mean you already know? Alrighty then...see you soon, I guess. He put the phone down and looked at Teddy. Odd, he said. Apparently they were already aware of the whole situation before I called. Strange do ya think someone told em? Oh no, Ness said, if they were told then that means Oh for god's sake what'd he do this time? Lucas asked. Hopefully not something totally insane, Ness said. Yeah right, knowing him it's unlikely, Lucas said. But, on the bright side, he calmed down and is ready to fight again.
