Hey so this is going to be a pretty long chapter. It was originally going to be split into 3 separate short chapters but I think this'll be better so without further a do

Chapter 37: Giygas and a Final Request.

Pokey walked into the memory section of the temple, Giygas was sitting down by a model of a combined purple and blue brain. Strange..I...feel, he began. Master Giygas Pokey said interrupting him, What...can't...you...see...I'm...busy! Giygas continued, I was just going to ask you talk normally, you're not in that state you were once in. Giygas was furious with his subject, but considering he'd gotten this far there was no point in arguing. After all, he was back in his alien form he'd been in against Ninten. Pokey, he said. What is it Master Giygas? I have no need for you call me master...I'm not your master, not anymore. You're my successor, and a loyal ally...I feel like it's time I stop treating you as just another a pawn, which you have never been. Just stop calling me your master.

Giygas turned back to the blue and purple brain. Something felt off, he knew off course that the battle was over, he knew of the prophecy that foretold him winning. After all, he had written down for Pokey to find. Years of existing as he would watch he never thought he'd see the day he would be revived. Yet what was supposed to be a day of greatness for him...and yet...he didn't feel what he was supposed to. Pokey bring me those files...on Ness and Paula. Pokey gulped, he still hadn't told Giygas that there was a change in plan. Pokey...I said pull up the files. Sir...we can't get those files, Giygas's rage doubled, those two were putting up a tougher containment fight than he thought and he was struggling to understand why. Somehow the mysterious force of love was stronger than he'd expected, either that or he was still very weak.

Pokey...go and try to view their memories to see what it is that is making them so infuriatingly difficult he said after a moment of silence. Pokey nodded and quickly left, Giygas turned back to the brain model...he could see that his control was clearly halted...and yet strangely he felt more powerful. He knew something was up...but he couldn't rely on Pokey to figure it out, so he called in a Starman DX, Master Giygas forgive me sir, it beeped quickly, whatever it is...Shut up, Giygas snapped, you're not in trouble, I require your assistance, something feels off about this whole thing. Can you read me the reports that came back from the PSI center. Right away sir, the Starman beeped, he pressed a button on the control panel, Starman DX 02031 he beeped, what's your status? This is Starman Super 01239 I copy, what do you need? Master Giygas has requested that you send the PSI reports to me so I may review them, The Starman DX beeped. Right away DX 02031, I'll have those sent to you in a second.

Giygas waited patiently for the the Starmen DX to obtain the files. He became satisfied when it started beeping again. Master Giygas good news it appears that the reason you feel different is because you have some new PSI power, it beeped. Giygas was now confused, he thought that he couldn't obtain any more power at this point. Okay DX lay it on me what do I have to work with. Well according to the reports, you are now able to use PK Starstorm, Giygas was delighted he had envied how the Starman could use Starstorm and he couldn't and now he too could use it, however it wasn't like it mattered all that much, PK Rockin was much stronger. However his delight was quickly replaced by confusion again, his new PSI strength was to be gifted to him by Paula...yet Poo was the one who was able to use Starstorm. He needed to know how this was possible. But the Starman DX was not going to be of use for that, he'd probably need Pokey

Is there anything else you need Master Giygas? No DX that's all get back to guard post Giygas responded. The starman saluted and left, alright Ness and Paula...what's the deal...what are you two hiding, Giygas said to himself, I know there's something different...I just can't put my...suddenly a faint memory flashed through him the memory of Red hatted boy...and Pink dressed girl. He looked back at model brain once again, blue...and...purple...odd, he said, it should've been red and pink. POKEY! Giygas shouted, Pokey came back into the hall, y-y-yes Giygas, he asked nervously. I want answers, Ness and Paula are...Sir I didn't use Ness and Paula, Pokey interrupted. YOU WHAT! Giygas shouted. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU! Pokey backed away, Sir...with all do respect it doesn't matter who was used to revive you. IT DID MATTER YOU DAMN FOOL! THERE WAS A PROPHECY! ONE THAT FORETOLD OUR SUCCESS IF YOU USED NESS AND PAULA! Sir...wouldn't we win just by you getting revived by an alternate version of those two? NO YOU DAMN FOOL! IT HAD TO BE THOSE TWO! NESS IS THE ONLY OTHER PERSON IN EXISTENCE WITH PK ROCKIN! Sir...I found someone else, with that PSI power, Pokey said. Giygas ceased his shouting immediately, what do you mean...alternates, Pokey I know that the Demonrift says that the girl has to be from the same world as him, but I needed Ness and Paula specifically. DID YOU NOT READ THE DAMN BOOK? I read the book, AND WHAT DID IT SAY? It said that the boy needed the PSI power of Rockin, THAT MEANS NESS YOU FOOL! Sir I was able to revive using the PSI power of Rollin, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? It's basically another name for Rockin.

Giygas, pondered on that for a moment, but went back to shouting immediately. Okay Pokey this is fine and all...BUT WE STILL NEEDED NESS AND PAULA! Sir...I used their counterparts, I WAS MEANT TO BE REVIVED BY NESS AND PAULA NOT THEIR DAMN COUNTERPARTS! NOW WE MIGHT ACTUALLY LOSE! Sir the counterparts I used are stronger than them. Giygas had once again stopped shouting instantly, Pokey nothing compares to the original...how could these two be stronger? Giygas snapped. Pokey swallowed and moved over to the computer near the brain model, he knew fully well that if he couldn't prove that Moon and Sarah were a better option then Giygas would not be satisfied with him. Okay he said, after a minute, here's basically what you need to know about them.

Giygas looked at the screen, what he saw was basically what one would call a palette swap of the original chosen 4. Alright Pokey hurry up I'm getting impatient. Giygas said, Okay, Pokey said these four basically exist as a copy to the Ness, Paula, Jeff, and Poo from our world. They had the same quest as they did to defeat you with a few differences here and there. These counterparts are? Moon, Sarah, Erick, and Dyson. So what makes Moon and Sarah more powerful? Giygas asked. Well according to their memory records like Ness and Paula they share a love connection between each other, however unlike Ness and Paula, Sarah confessed to Moon that she loved him early on Therefore, their powers quickly became much stronger and ridiculously unstable as they journeyed together to defeat the Giygas of their world.

Giygas knew that there was no time to waste, there was still some needed information on those two. But he didn't want Pokey in his way. Very well Pokey, Giygas said. You've convinced me, but you've also partially doomed us. What? Why? Pokey asked. Well we were guaranteed a victory if you used Ness and Paula, these two are not Ness and Paula, therefore, we can lose, Giygas said. Well sir what do you...I want all hands on deck, those two are putting up a damn good containment fight and I want them defeated. But sir we don't...I DON'T GIVE A DAMN POKEY! Throw everything you've got at them, I want both of them worn down, exhausted, and half dead should they ever reach me. Pokey nodded, as you wish Giygas, I'll gather everyone up and we'll go after them, we'll try to wear them down and defeat them before they get here, he said before exiting the room

Giygas turned back to the computer, he remembered from his memories with Maria and the research that George had done on him that love made PSI powers powerful but also very unstable. He had sensed power from both Ness and Paula and because of their secret affection for each other they had been more powerful than first expected. He had remembered the reports from his minions that had shown him just how badly some of his minions had been beaten, some of the worst had been Carpainter, The Mondo Mole, Belch, and probably the worst of the bunch the Fourside Alien, he remembered his shock to see just how angry Ness had been. What he was concerned about was something major. Ness and Paula never declared their love to each other...but Moon and Sarah had, worst of all, they did it early...the question he had now was how early? The earlier it had been, the stronger their love was, and the stronger their love was...the more unstable they were.

This sounded simple, unfortunately Moon and Sarah were putting up such a good containment fight that he struggled to go very far from where Pokey had already gotten. It wasn't much he could see recent memories, but not long back ones. Thankfully they were pretty much all shared so there wasn't much to dig through. He paused on one that caught his interest on the screen was both Sarah and Paula. Giygas's anger was getting bigger, and then something set him off Paula told Sarah that there was a prophecy that foretold his success...NO! NO! Giygas shouted. IMPOSSIBLE! HOW THE HELL DID SHE KNOW? He furiously started clicking through files, then he saw something else, all of his enemies, Ninten, Ness, all of them together, along with those fools from Tazmily, he was now more mad than he had ever been before, all of them were there Pokey even had Ness and Paula. Then it clicked everything made sense Alright you two, he said. I can tell that this fight is not going to be easy, but at least one good thing comes out of it, even if I lose, If by some damn miracle you all win. You both will die miserably, either way this goes, I beat you...every...single...time.

(Meanwhile): Pokey was lying on ground, Erick had outsmarted all of them and he was not happy. One pull of the Laser's trigger later and that was it. Erick turned back the group, It's alright he said, Pokey's not here anymore. Good thinking Erick, Paula said. Hang on...you just booted Pokey out, he might kill Moon and Sarah now and erase us all for good, Ness said. Erick chuckled, he won't he kills them he severs Giygas's ties to his power source.

Well done Erick, Moon said causing all of them jump. Damn it you could talk this whole time! Ness said angrily, No you can here us because your all in the temple Sarah said. So this is it, Paula said, it's the five of us versus Giygas. Erick glanced nervously at Moon who nodded at him. Actually, Paula..Erick said. It's both of them versus Giygas, our role was to get both of them here. Hang on, Ness said, you two need all the help you can get. That is true Ness...Sarah said...unfortunately it's too dangerous. But we've dealt with Giygas before, Paula said, you two can't fight him alone. Paula this is going to sound stupid, Erick said, we have to go. If they succeed we also take that blow, the more of us in here the more powerful that blow becomes, we stay...we all die. Alright you 3 close your eyes so you can exit Paula...Ness...Erick, Moon said, this is farewell. Ness waited to be sent back as he said that but...it didn't come. Instead he re-opened his eyes and looked, Erick and Paula were gone he was still there with them.

What happened? He asked. Well...Sarah began. Ness we needed to tell you something, we couldn't tell Paula, and we didn't have the courage to tell Erick, in fact we were hoping that we would be telling this to Ninten, Ana, or Kumatora. But if we fail, Giygas's revival will be delayed since we weakened him. The door to the jail has been unlocked since this morning. Ness stared at both of them, okay so why are you telling me this? Sarah shuffled, Moon looked at her sadly, what she's trying to ask of you Ness, is for you to kill us if we fail. No...No...NO! Ness shouted at them, I am not killing both of you. Ness we aren't asking you specifically to kill us, we are asking that you make anyone kill us. We don't care who, just make sure it happens, Sarah said. I can't Ness cried, you two can't die, Ness this is our last ditch effort, Moon said. It is literally a just in case. Please just do it. If we fail, you'll know. The drainage level will start to go down, Giygas will have to regain control. If we succeed, than the overworld image of Giygas disappears. Ness still looked at them uncomfortably. Ness we know you don't want to, Sarah said. But if you don't follow through with this, and we were to fail, Pokey wins, you're world is destroyed. Ness bowed his head, fine he mumbled. I'll inform them. Okay then Moon said Fare...wait Moon, Sarah, Ness said, I know it's a bit late...but...I'm happy to have met you two, and call you both friends. Moon and Sarah both looked at each other. Ness, you may think I'm crazy when I say this, but you don't know me like Sarah, Erick, and Dyson do. But...thanks for considering me a friend. Ness looked at him weirdly, what...do you mean by that? He asked. Sarah snickered, if we survive this Ness, maybe one day we'll tell you about our adventure. Ness hugged both of them good luck you two he said, give Giygas hell from all of us.

Moon and Sarah walked down the corridor after Ness had been removed, you think he'll tell them? Sarah asked. He will, Moon said. What makes you so sure? Sarah asked. Logic, you really think he can keep this whole thing a secret? Look at the facts, he exits later, he'd be undoubtedly uncomfortable, he'd know that the door is open, and if by some stupid miracle he does manage to keep it through all that he'd have to kill us secretly. Sarah I'd have trouble pulling something like that off. The two arrived at the back of temple, a giant door now stood in front of them. Sarah felt his grip tighten on her hand. Sarah...would you like to do one last thing with me before we go? Sarah's curiosity and hopes soared at this sentence. Contrary to what one would think Moon was quite a challenging boyfriend. They made the couple status official after the Mondo Mole, but he was always hesitant to try anything new with her. Whether it was his paranoia, her parents over-protectiveness, or just the way he was, she didn't know. But he would constantly be uncomfortable with anything...and she meant anything. Even the first time they kissed ended awkwardly. In fact, if you looked at him back then one would think it wasn't even the same person. Sarah felt that she knew what was going to happen, and she was ready.

Of course I'd want to do one last thing with you Moon, I always will. Moon smiled and grabbed her wrist, guiding her swiftly away from the door in the back and oddly, he kept running past everything. Moon...where are we, shhh, Moon said as they kept moving. We are going somewhere special Sarah...you don't know how long I've been waiting to do this. Sarah went red, apart from the time he had basically thrown himself on her after saving her from Monotoli. She hadn't seen him act like this before.

After climbing up a spiral staircase they had finally arrived at a stopping point. This is it he said, Sarah looked inside curiously, it was a strange room, there wasn't much in there, in fact compared to the all the other rooms it was also strangely small. Then she felt his arms around her and her body being lifted off the ground. Looking at her partner, his face was deep red, in fact Sarah felt like he had been hit with way to much fire since he also felt warm. I wanted to do this with you after we took care of Giygas, but I don't want to die regretting that I never did, he said setting her down on the bed. Sarah Polestar, he asked moving over to a strange box and winding it up, may I have this dance?

Sarah couldn't believe her ears, Moon had made it clear that he had never been fond of dancing, and she assumed that he would never dance with her unless they had well gotten married, Sarah walked over to him, and kissed him, hard. The two finally separated after a very long drawn out kiss. Yes, she said, yes you may have this dance with me.

Giygas watched the two of them through a camera and for the first time, he grew worried. He had been watching both of them ever since they arrived at the door. He could feel their love, it was stronger than anything he had ever felt before, this wasn't going to be withstanding a song, or surviving the prayers from 10 years in the future. This was going to be a true fight, a fight that, he was unlikely to walk out alive from, he could kill Moon or he could kill Sarah, that would enrage the other who'd probably make him burn in a hell that he never knew existed.

He had to think...he knew that his final blow should kill them, but in order to use his final blow, he'd have to die. You two...are special...he said peering at the screen, both of them were swinging each other around hand in hand, his hatred for the two kids that he never knew was at its breaking point. Then he realized with them in the temple he had access to all the memory files now. He began clicking back further...just to see how much they truly knew, how they knew about the prophecy, and, most importantly, how the hell they knew that it didn't have to be Ness and Paula who could revive them. Then it clicked. Alright Moon, he said evilly. Unlike Ness...you weren't always the boy you are now. I know she changed you...she's what you care about...she is your life...in the event I die...she dies too...and then...you've lost everything...maybe I have a way to keep both of you put...let's see just how much you truly care about her.

So um yeah I gave everyone the boot I don't have much to offer drawing out a final battle between 5 characters and Giygas so I cut it to 2. So it all comes down to this Moon and Sarah versus Giygas
