100 days of Mother/Earthbound
028: Smiles
As Giygas screamed, writhed, and began to fade into nothingness, and Pokey started to deride Ness one last time, and the four heroes' robotic eyes began to fill with red noise, the world in the present somehow noticed it.
Everyone, everyone who ever knew Ness and his companions... somehow felt that Ness, Paula, Jeff, and Poo, had achieved their goal, and somehow they were confident that the world as they knew it was safe.
Ness' mum was still knelt in prayer for Ness' safety when she felt this... and she cheered with joy. Her son, the heroic Ness, had triumphed over evil once and for all- and survived it.
Mr Carpainter listened as the gnarlings and the roarings in his mind that had traumatized him ever since he got the Mani Mani statue suddenly silenced themselves, and with that, removed the last trace of blue from his office.
Paula's mum & dad both danced, and sang, and played ring-a-ring-O'-roses as the children rejoiced as well.
Zombies hissed and growled in their prison, while the Threed inhabitants stuck their tongues out at them cautiously. Master Belch, meanwhile, was dissolving in the deep darkness... as every molecule of undigested lipids, proteins, sugars, and starches spread into a thin, grimy, acidic layer on the top of a region of swamp water in the deep darkness.
Talah Rama had already thrown a tremendous party in honour of the world being saved, along with his monkey associates. Even the monkeys from the deep darkness teleported to Talah Rama's underground paradise for the event, and there were plenty of hamburgers, protein drinks, fresh eggs, and pizzas to go around.
Enrich Flavour and Monotoli shook hands, and Fourside cheered as Monotoli relinquished his position as mayor, and said, in an undertone "Thank you, Ness.".
Even the Tenda were aware something amazing had happened, and drank their psychotropic tea with much vigour, and got messages like "Paula, the girl with that strange group... she saved you all."
Lastly, but by no means least, Everdred, who had spent days walking aimlessly to find a place to die in solitude, similarly to a cat, finally found a river to lie down by, skipped a rock, smiled, and died content, as he too, felt the feeling that the shining young boy, Ness, had saved the world, and that everyone would be okay...
