Of Psychic Powers and Baseball Bats

Arc 5

Going Nowhere Really Fast

Part 4

Lucas was about to cast another PSI spell, but felt everything beginning to shake. "W-What?!" he exclaimed, trying to keep his balance.

Kumatora gritted her teeth, falling to the ground. "This a Pk Ground!" she shouted.

Porky gritted his teeth, his spider-mech losing its balance and it fell over. He let out a stream of profanities. "DAMN IT, DAMN IT, DAMN IT!" he began banging on the glass pane. "DAMN IT!"

Ninten gritted his teeth, having fallen on the floor. "What the hell?!" he cried out, managing to stand up as the quakes stopped. He suddenly found himself face-to-face with the silhouette. "Uh...hi?" he said, nervously, grinning sheepishly. The silhouette extended out its arms in front of Ninten's chest.

"Pk Thunder Sigma." Ninten yelled out in pain as he was electrocuted before falling to the floor, unconscious, smoking.

Ana stood up before feeling the ship shake and crumble even more. "H-Huh?!" she yelled out. "What's going on?!" she looked down, seeing cracks appearing on the floor. "No..." she whispered.

The ship was breaking apart. "Everyone, we have to get out of here!" Llyod yelled as everyone else regained their balance. The silhouette narrowed its eyes, and a large grin appeared on its face. Llyod stepped back a little, fear clutching his heart, eyes widening. "That's not good," he said. Teddy grinned, patting the grey-haired boy on the back.

"Don't chicken out, kid," he said. "We'll just have to try harder to beat this guy!" Lloyd nodded nervously, knees shaking. Ana clutched her frying pan with one hand and a warm, blue glow enveloping the other hand like a glove. She turned to Lloyd.

"It may have knocked out Ninten, but I can still revive him," she said, confidence in her voice and determination in her eyes. "If I can just get to him..."

Ness stepped forward, now standing next to her. "We'll cover you, go!" he yelled, running towards the silhouette. "Poo, let's go!" The princess nodded, katana in hand, electricity flowing in his hand. The two were going to rush at the silhouette before the sound of bending metal got their attention. A wall, one that surprisingly didn't have any damage on it, began bending forward, as it something was going through it, like wet tissue paper.

Ana's eyes widened as the figure floated in, a grin on its face. "No...G-Giegue!" she shrieked. "How is he here?!" Ana backed up a few steps, the gears in her head beginning to turn. She'll have to sing quickly-no, Lloyd or Teddy will have to sing. She could protect them with PSI Shields and heal. "Lloyd, Teddy, the song!" she turned her head, looking at the two. "I'll protect you from-AAAAH!" she shrieked, getting zapped by a Pk Thunder from Giygas.

"No, Ana, I'm afraid that won't happen," Giygas said, floating in front of her. Ana kneeled, frantically casting a Pk Lifeup. "Why do you continue to fight?"

"Pk Freeze Omega!" Paula cast, running behind Giygas.

"Pk Shield Counter," Giygas cast, a yellow shield surrounding him, the icy attack rebounded and struck Paula, making her lose her balanced and crash into a wall right behind her. She let out a scream of pain. "Don't even try," he said, turning his attention to the silhouette. "You..." The silhouette's grin widened. Giygas raised its arms, a fireball materializing in its hand. "It's time for this to end," the alien said.

Jeff and Ness ran over to a Paula, who was getting up. "What's going on?" she asked.

Ness looked at her and back at the confrontation. "I don't know, but," he glanced at the downed Ninten, still unconsious, in the middle of the two beings. "This is our chance to escape! If we could just get to Ninten..."

"Ness!" Lucas yelled, running over to the three, his friends and father behind him. "W-What's-"

"We don't know," Jeff cut in. "But we can escape," he said with a grin worthy of a mad scientist. "If we get the Ness-look-alike, we're saved."

"For now," Ness said. "We can't run away forever."

"But the villagers of Tazmilly are still captured!" Flint argued. "We can't abandon them."

Ness didn't say anything for a moment.

The fireball flew through the air, but the silhouette moved to the side, dodging it as it exploded, making another hole in the wall behind it.

"I want my army back," Giygas said, preparing a Pk Thunder, "And I want you dead." Electricity flowed throughout its entire body. "However, I still want to know why you're trying to do this. Why bring in Ninten and Ness?"

The silhouette didn't answer, and instead cast a shield right in front of itself. "They were the result of a mistake," a fireball appeared in its hand. "I've created you a new body and restored your sanity, why do you work against me?"

"Because an abomination like you doesn't deserve to live," he looked down to Ninten's unconscious form. "Humans have bested me twice, even when I had unimaginable power, they have proven themselves worthy of existing," a shark grin appeared on its face. "Even if they don't, and I'm wrong, they'll end themselves soon enough." he waved his hand, and Ninten's body flew across the room.

"WAH!" Ness yelled, being hit by Ninten. "What the hell?!" Ana looked at Giygas in confusion.

"Giegue is...helping us?" she said, raising an eyebrow. "Pk Healing Omega," she cast, the familiar blue glow spreading all over Ninten's body. "Why?"

Jeff unnecessarily adjusted his glasses. "We should probably ask these questions when we're not in mortal danger of the crossfire. With any luck, they'll kill each other."

Ninten stood up, shaking his head. "Ow..."

"Ninten, we have to get out of here, now!" Ness yelled.

"Wait!" Paula pointed at Porky, who was still vainly trying to get out of his mech. "What about Porky? We can't just leave him!"

As she said this, a bolt of electricity nearly struck her. "The battle has begun," said Poo.

"Forget that fat bastard, we have to get out of here!" Kumatora argued. "He ruined Lucas' family and tried to kill everyone in these islands! Leave him."

Duster looked pained for a moment before closing his eyes and sighing. "I'm with Kumatora, let's leave, right now, without him."

"What? But, we can't-!" Paula began before being cut off by Poo.

"He willingly worked with Giygas, I agree, we should leave him behind." Porky's cries of frustration didn't help the situation, and the battle between the silhouette and Giegue began to grow. Icy blasts, fireballs, bolts of electricity, they all flew in every direction. Poo jumped back, dodging a fireball.

"But-!" Paula tried to argue before being interrupted by Ness running towards the downed mecha. "Ness?!"

"Ninten, start up the 4th D-Slip, I'll get Porky!" Ness yelled back. Ninten nodded, and began to focus.

"Everyone, get behind me, form a line!" Ninten yelled.

Ness knelt down in front of the glass pane, Porky right behind it. The blond pig-like child caught sight of Ness and grimaced. "What are you going to do to me?" he asked, gritting hid teeth in frustration.

Ness gave him a a stern look. "I'm going to get you out of here, and back home in Onett, where you won't cause any more problems," he focused as the glass began to crack and fell into pieces. Ness grabbed Porky by the shirt and pulled him up.

"Pk 4th D-Slip!" Ninten cast, a portal opening up. "Let's get out of here!" Everyone's feet began to move on their own, and they ran towards the portal.

"Damn it, wait for us!" Ness yelled, still dragging Porky with him before suddenly stopping and beginning to float in the air along with Porky. "What the-?!" he turned to see the silhouette with its arm in the air, grinning as a portal suddenly appeared below them. "Oh no..."

"Ness!" Paula cried as she ran into the portal, being the last one to go through as it closed.

Ness glared at the silhouette. "PK ROCKIN' OMEGA!" he cried, blasting the silhouette as Porky and him fell through the portal, screaming the whole way.

The Dark Dragon could no longer fell Lucas in this time, relief filled him as the Nowhere Islands was now in view.

"Let's go!" Pippi yelled, running forwards, the entire population of Tazmilly village right behind her.

"What's going on?" one said.

"Why is a little girl saving us?!"

"Where's my mother?!"

Pippi looked down, seeing the frog hopping right next to her. "Where are we going?!" she yelled.

"To the forest," it said. "There!" it said, an entrance opening up, just as the ship shook once more.

Lucas shook his head, feeling a little lightheaded. "Where are we?" he asked, the group in a snowy place. "In Winters again?" he looked around. "Where's Ness?"

"Ah!" Kumatora yelled out. "It's so cold! Are we back in Snowcap Mountain?!" she cried, shivering and standing up quickly. "Damn snow..."

"It's not that cold," Ana said, with Jeff nodding in agreement.

"Don't complain so much," Jeff said, cleaning the snow off his glasses. "Still, Ness..."

Flint said nothing, but shivered a bit. "It's strange, I've never seen snow before..." he said, looking around. Duster nodded.

"Me neither. Lucas, Kumatora, and Boney were the ones to go to Snowcap mountain.

"All right, we need to get organized!" Paula suddenly announced. Everyone jumping a bit at her shouting.

"I've never seen Paula like this, except when Ness' in trouble," Jeff whispered to Lloyd, laughing to himself, receiving a dark look from Paula, who crossed her arms.

Short update because I wanted this out as quickly as possible since I took so long writing it.
