p data-p-id="fb03aa88a586ef6c4014616b84deca45"The four boys made it back to Drunshell. They stopped at the wreckage that came from the fight. Claus crossed his arms and closed his eyes. Ninten looked at him. "Come on, we need to get going," Ninten patted his back. Claus looked at him. He turned and saw the other two. Lucas walked up./p
p data-p-id="eecce5d1ca24237045133963fe64a1c2""So, where are we going?" Lucas asked./p
p data-p-id="e0664fd47e0ff8433e06ab40bcd597a8""A city called New Pork City," Claus said. Ness tilted his head and thought for a moment./p
p data-p-id="de2398f27dd2447c513974979da676ca""Where is it?" Lucas asked./p
p data-p-id="d3b99074b77bfbb58e0ef273ba6bdecd""That's the thing, it's a hidden city," Ninten said./p
p data-p-id="f6d63dfae41f1761384d25f5264fe929""How're we gonna get there then?" Ninten and Claus exchanged a glance and just shrugged. Lucas looked down but soon felt Ness's hand on his shoulder. He looked up./p
p data-p-id="b52040284d36492644badb4e6759a5f4""Let's look around Drunshell. This place has a little of every town and city, maybe it could have something of New Pork City," Ness suggested. Claus thought for a moment./p
p data-p-id="a617e0fe07d3f528a6dd41193351e328""Look for pig snouts. If you see them on anything, investigate." Ness nodded and grabbed Lucas's hand and walked away. Ninten crossed his arms as they looked at the two boys./p
p data-p-id="c27569474d4c9362ddc8e9728bc6fc07""Ness, did that to be alone with him, huh?" Ninten asked./p
p data-p-id="e62d9f6e45e783cbda3321a723471dbd""Absolutely, anyhow, we should at least look around." Ninten nodded and they walked away./p
p data-p-id="1ad2006ce058e28d8efc2b2a3d0cb66c"Ness and Lucas arrived at a library. They entered and saw the librarian. They, of course, knew each other. "Zero Suit, how you been?" Ness asked./p
p data-p-id="0c586edd57bd39a30bbf35d2ec79943c""Name's Samus, but I'm doing well," she said. Ness put his arms on the counter. He looked back at Lucas./p
p data-p-id="1ab6715cc5a839452c3740aa6fa153b7""Lucas and I are looking for a book on New Pork City." Samus looked at them and saw the seriousness in their faces. She walked to the small horizontal door to allow the boys behind the counter. They entered and Samus led them to a small employee-only room at the back. She opened the door for them to go in. When they did they saw stairs. Samus walked down them with the boys following. They eventually got to a vault. Samus put in the combination and the vault opened. Ness and Lucas walked in and saw the single book on a pedestal. Lucas grabbed it. On the cover, it read "The Pork"./p
p data-p-id="5a0fcf41049561563d1ddb497ae7c925""Where'd you get this?" Lucas asked./p
p data-p-id="6f3817f1d5014eb641e6dd63610d618d""A boy gave it to me, under the name of Master H, though," Samus said./p
p data-p-id="8e572c8ca01cdd5559052f1dfa02f674""Master H?" Ness walked over and leaned into Lucas's ear./p
p data-p-id="baae7143a926a3bed4fd8ce300d184ae""You thinking what I'm thinking?" Ness asked./p
p data-p-id="f4516a9e1b44d07357e54f0616768906""You can read my mind, so you'd know."/p
p data-p-id="f5639ff27ba5ecbf37064ae0a049008c""Sorry, I just love saying that," Ness smiled. Lucas opened the book and the image of Porky showed itself. On the next mage were people dressed up in pig-like uniforms. They read what these pig things are about. They found out that certain people were brainwashed and when certain words are said they crack and go into Pigmask form. "Omecay otay emay?" He looked at Lucas who seemed confused too. That's when Lucas was suddenly attacked. Lucas launched back and dropped the book. Ness looked at Samus who's face started to strangely twitch./p
p data-p-id="724a4da2201257c3b137a36ebbea5e1b""Ymay astermay eedsnay emay," she said. She looked down at the book and tried to have her grappler grab it but Ness rammed his shoulder into her. Lucas recovered and shot ice at her. She froze instantly and Lucas grabbed the book./p
p data-p-id="d4232f0a67ff487494ec175c3194b680""Let's go," Lucas said. Ness nodded and they ran. When they exited the room they were surrounded by people in pig uniforms./p
p data-p-id="7fbbe0c6bdb5c079c85de37a01adaf87""Illkay emthay," one said. They all pulled out guns and aimed them at the boys. That's when Claus and Ninten barged in and attacked them. Clause grabbed both of the boys' hands and ran out of the library./p
p data-p-id="0402cb0e2051332ae1749878eb9eae9d""Guess what we found," Claus said./p
p data-p-id="184826be0ea6837abb5851807f7a9e2b""What?"/p
p data-p-id="fd493584951ba911e3d404070b45b161"Ninten and Claus stepped in the large crater formed by Porky's spider mech. They looked around at the ruins of the building that once stood there. Claus saw a small chair that strangely wasn't broken or even dirty. He walked over and looked it over. He sighed and sat in it. Ninten walked over. "Claus, what's wrong?" Ninten asked./p
p data-p-id="19deaed50d89d7c8ba89fbc50eff7db2""I uh...I helped him do this," he said. Ninten squatted down and put his hand on Claus's shoulder./p
p data-p-id="a93e14fadbb89094d30cfcac7900bf5b""Listen, you've gotta learn from the past."/p
p data-p-id="79b781506aea9be6d41aeb1ddd13702e""Yea but, I've killed so many people...I still don't understand how you can just work with me like this." Ninten smiled and stood up./p
p data-p-id="1e2efc5a6540d685c73271075d961b58""Well, 'cause you're cute, and we know you didn't want to do any of that."/p
p data-p-id="da2426c2c22bbab8ee799b0a3f1161c4""I'm what?" Ninten grabbed Claus's hand./p
p data-p-id="eb37c7a9ab78c4a3953fac9b69f51a82""Come on, we've gotta look around." Ninten pulled Claus off the chair and they walked forward. They heard a small noise from behind them. They looked around and saw that the chair was missing. They looked at each other and slowly walked where the chair once was. Claus moved some of the rubble out of the way and they saw wood. The same type of wood the chair was made of. Claus brought out his beam sword and stabbed the wood. He groaned as he tried to pull the wood out. Ninten grabbed Claus's chest and pulled with him. With a tough tug, they pulled the wood out./p
p data-p-id="148134fe38cdffbf2fd009fef069a27a"Claus picked the sword up and saw the wood was a simple cube. He tapped it and the cube instantly turned into a chair. He kicked the chair off the sword. Ninten walked to the hole and looked in it. "A motion sensor," Ninten said. Claus walked over./p
p data-p-id="bb948eb41c08131f75406f823abd592c""Why?" Claus asked. Ninten reached into the small hole and moved his hand around. He didn't feel anything at first but as he was lifting his hand out he felt a soft fabric. He ripped it out and saw it was a pig mask. Claus grabbed it and scratched the back of his head. He looked in the mask and saw a small tape recorder. He grabbed it and tapped on the play button./p
p data-p-id="8a6c4935b01071789e32dca8fdc5092a""Remember general, the people of Drunshell are smart. Make sure you keep everything on the down-low," Porky's voice came up. Claus looked at Ninten and gulped./p
p data-p-id="59c68ddd88cc04043aefe95c90935f6e""Drunshell is a-" Ninten started./p
p data-p-id="afa6ec02807f53b811796fd6d3ab7457""A Pigmask hideout," Claus finished. They heard a deep voice clearing his throat. Claus looked behind Ninten and saw The Pork Trooper without his mask./p
p data-p-id="7cdd8a5a33fa7b55c8e9273d089f1bbc""Well, Masked Man, I don't think that belongs to you," he said in his deep voice. Claus turned his right hand into an arm cannon and shot at The Pork Trooper. He wasn't expecting it so he fell back. Claus shot up, pocketed the recorder, and grabbed Ninten's hand./p
p data-p-id="343665a2b5f4de34170e91fcc465967c""Come on, we've gotta get to the others."/p
p data-p-id="406c5f34a9a0a309bf0fb836b2541cd0"The four boys got to the end of Drunshell. Lucas looked back and saw the Pig-costumed people walking their way with guns. They suddenly stopped. Claus tugged on Lucas's shirt and they continued to run. They got to the edge of the Extended Ocean. This ocean was what made Drunshell what it was. Ninten hunched over and struggled to breathe. Claus patted his back. It took a few minutes for Ninten to get his breaths under control. He gulped and turned to the others. "I think we figured out the same thing," Ness said./p
p data-p-id="5a2f5482facc08552b63911baab4b0f5""Listen to this," Claus said. He played the tape recorder and Ness and Lucas listened to it. Lucas crossed his arms and thought for a moment./p
p data-p-id="479a917c8dc9da156d06da62b1113653""The poor people..." Lucas said./p
p data-p-id="26375b953ca160237ae08d9ede259b1f""You have any idea what it means?" Ness asked./p
p data-p-id="caef0fdd5e9e0490d4be21eb2db19afc""We believe there could be some type of factory underneath Drunshell. If we can go into this factory we could find the location of New Pork City," Ninten suggested. Lucas looked down and faintly back at Drunshell. He turned away from the town and walked toward the ocean. He sat down and took his shoes off. He put his feet in the water. Ness tilted his head and walked to him./p
p data-p-id="021374620f3c29709dce4129a334bb86""Lucas?" Ness asked. Lucas turned his head to Ness, who seemed genuinely worried for him./p
p data-p-id="0e17d277bb03193fc0c857c498c00797""I've visited Drunshell so much, especially while you were off training, I could've prevented this," Lucas said. Claus sat next to him, bringing his knees into his chest./p
p data-p-id="c1e8871c5d45cabcf45eadc00303fbba""You still never learn huh?" Claus asked. Lucas turned to him. "Not everything is your fault." Lucas sighed and shook his head. Ninten looked down./p
p data-p-id="14b06d416d723ef12242bb6cbc68e29c""Hey, I'm gonna go get some fruit from the forest, k?" Ninten asked. Ness just nodded. Ninten ran toward the nearby forest. Ness grabbed Lucas's hand. Lucas didn't budge his head./p
p data-p-id="9d335a058c2add6ae8dc513a6e35f605""Hey, remember when I got the scar?" Ness asked. Lucas looked at him and nodded. Ness smirked. This was caused because someone made fun of you, right?"/p
p data-p-id="4283908769eeba386f5f7cdec48b148d""Where're you getting at this?" Lucas asked. Ness smiled and leaned closer to Lucas. He quickly pecked his lips and pulled back./p
p data-p-id="6d8086a1f321c6cfd9a5a0f07d9c26de""If someone's willing to risk their beautiful face for you, don't be so down on yourself."/p
p data-p-id="5355fa416c738b5de98283fdeca98f0e""Is this what you call beautiful?" Lucas chuckled./p
p data-p-id="6c4c6d6fc3fb65708a059e057c1bb99b""As if you should be saying that cutie."/p
p data-p-id="4adcebd339ac8f7bf3d1d36b734422c9""You said you'd stop calling me that." Claus chuckled and noticed someone walking their way. He tapped on Lucas's shoulder and he looked back. He knew the man, it was Master Herneldo. He was walking from the direction of Drunshell. Lucas shot up and Ness copied. Claus looked confused for a second. Master Herneldo stopped in front of the boys. He crossed his hands on his can and smiled, showing his yellow teeth./p
p data-p-id="902501a84abb44b8a560f7803b2f5b06""How have you boys been?" Master Herneldo asked. Lucas looked at Claus. Master Herneldo smiled and walked over to him. Claus was still sitting down. "You grew up since I've last seen you."/p
p data-p-id="8d948e32461a51d124a37b91878c0ed2""What do you mean?" Claus asked, standing up./p
p data-p-id="3b99c3bff32e468e7c43925248254bc0""I was a friend of your mother. I trained the boys to be who they are now." Claus smiled./p
p data-p-id="c291e5c5878a2a27abbacd2ecced1d25""Thank you for taking care of Lucas."/p
p data-p-id="4c1ef5f305435cdee41e11ccb0440ac2""Hey, I'm right here," Ness said defensively. Master Herneldo shook his head./p
p data-p-id="1a2ffe4c1b43672b640758b55babc420""There is one thing a boy can't get right..." Master Herneldo walked to Lucas. Master Hereneldo looked through Lucas. Lucas gulped. "How many times have I told you, don't let emotions lead you." Lucas looked down./p
p data-p-id="775923a5149155c37221d18ea72ce826""S-sorry," Lucas said. Master Herneldo shook his head and looked back at Claus./p
p data-p-id="8fa54113d664b47c482c606a962a7926""Could you go out and find Ninten, I need to talk to these boys." Claus nodded and ran toward the forest. Master Herneldo watched as Claus got out of sight. Master Herneldo looked at the boys. "I've been training you for five years...I think it's time you learned the truth."/p
p data-p-id="ba99a173765f055e684552047576cb59""Truth?" Ness asked./p
p data-p-id="62410328d4893396dbd47bef901ebfa8""You boys have a power no one else has, not even poor Hinawa." Lucas looked up. "I can't exactly say what this power is, for it'll ruin the power. I can say, however, it's called Starstorm."/p
p data-p-id="4ab1cdec260cd49579f41c9d7e29e8f3""We don't need to train for that?" Lucas asked. Master Herneldo shook his head./p
p data-p-id="27cd4ba00030bc2c1c636148084b256d""Watch..." Master Herneldo walked back and slammed his staff into the ground. This caused a holographic screen to show up. This screen showed a video. It was Hinawa giving birth to Lucas and Claus. Lucas looked away./p
p data-p-id="a5d3bae07d9b0985e6dc2752e2df05a5""I did not need to see my mom like that."/p
p data-p-id="ed91deb27d3d5e8962b89dc26e707714""You have to watch, just don't look at her privates."/p
p data-p-id="9c958c3a1d04d71472286b17004fbe13""Pretty hard not to when it's the center of the screen, but sure." Lucas turned back. He saw that Claus had already been born. While Lucas was being birthed the video shook and a loud crash caused the screen to disappear. Master Herneldo took the staff and looked at them./p
p data-p-id="cc2058915ca5bfb1d22afc7573dbc451""What was that?" Ness asked./p
p data-p-id="32ea5e1523432222f5992fb7c8082a26""You didn't see it, but Lucas called upon Starstorm. Destroyed the entire town." Lucas looked down. "But not a single injury. What I'm trying to get at, you'll need Starstorm. Try your best to channel it." Lucas and Ness nodded. They waited a few hours before Claus walked out of the forest./p
p data-p-id="5aa15c3b0e1f46dca7b5060f2de189e6""I can't find him," he said. Master Herneldo chuckled and slammed the staff into the ground again. He was surrounded in light and when the light disappeared Ninten stood where Master Herneldo stood./p
p data-p-id="b70eadbcf0aa88e0372304fcf10d4721""Tada, surprise," Ninten chuckled./p
p data-p-id="8c754a8452cfe7a40eb02ce0660f7f23""Wah?" Ness asked./p
p data-p-id="d89d58890017e15d75e2058349463b8c""You were Master Herneldo the whole time?" Lucas asked. Ninten shook his head./p
p data-p-id="975a75a5254267f96a24192708f428f2""Master Herneldo was Ninten the whole time. Before me, it was my dad, then my dad's dad, etc." Claus crossed his arms and walked over to him./p
p data-p-id="eb32aad6adc93b95f60113f9016c199f""You had me looking for nothing," he angrily asked. Ninten chuckled. Claus noticed the surprise in Ness and Lucas. He titled his head. Ness stepped toward Ninten./p
p data-p-id="0d205bcb58db834aa23c5455f5779dd1""So...this entire time we've been training with someone our own age?" Ness asked./p
p data-p-id="89c97b08f7ce92c3eda6be6d90c741f7""Why didn't you just use your, you know, normal appearance."/p
p data-p-id="c8d0f217f6909392179aa0457d0efa83""My dad told me Master Herneldo is something that needs to be passed down. I'll pass it down one day too. It's all in this staff," Ninten said. The staff disappeared and smirked. Claus put his arm around Ninten./p
p data-p-id="cd49a858bdcc453f4a5dedc215ae955a""I hate you, I wasted hours in the creepy forest," Claus said./p
p data-p-id="526f55b8fbcc807bc0694effa8569cb8""Oh come on, just live and learn."/p
p data-p-id="b3c6df3d9ce419b249671ad3bc79ccf1""Yea, don't believe you, that's what I learned." Ness shook his head and turned toward Drunshell./p
p data-p-id="dc7426a78c4ce87c129c3df4c026886e""How're we going to get into the factory?" Ness asked. Ninten walked to the ocean and looked in. Lucas put his shoes in and looked into the ocean with him. He saw some lights coming to the surface./p
p data-p-id="9417a921de71401b1dc87bfff8a73a8d""I called a friend," Ninten said. That's when a submarine popped on the surface of the water. It wasn't normal looking, it was clearly based off of some kind of animal. It was blue and seemed based on a shark. The top door opened and a person, slightly younger than the boys, popped up. He adjusted his red cap and looked at Ninten./p
p data-p-id="31a589121726cf7eeff6489c06dd6e1b""I'm glad you're putting this to good use, Brendan was bitching about this bad boy," he said./p
p data-p-id="86c08018e846bb41cd636759cf69f66b""Red, thanks for coming on short notice," Ninten said. Red just smiled and looked at the other boys./p
p data-p-id="796a51a5e2601c0d8f051bb9a55b0d9b""Come on in, time for a max raid," Red chuckled. Ness looked at Lucas./p
p data-p-id="05f4fd96a8b2d6db9f4a87a883745f48""You know what that is?" he asked./p
p data-p-id="16517a7e25208f3f01eab5e47dea1a32""Not a clue," Lucas responded. Ninten crawled into the submarine and the others followed. It was kind of cramped but they were still sort of comfortable. Red closed the door and sat in the chair. He pressed some buttons and the submarine started back up. Lucas glared out of the window and saw villages underwater. "People live down here?"/p
p data-p-id="90e83826746c04a4182095bcc9ff0861""Yea, there are more people in this world than you'd expect," Red said. "I would know, I've explored nearly every nook and cranny of the world. Which is why I know of this tunnel."/p
p data-p-id="c074ca43176a99f1d61f3512c198f173""A tunnel underneath Drunshell?" Claus asked. Red nodded./p
p data-p-id="0057e85a1819143e4310b538aceffeba""I believe Porky was able to use certain Pokemon to help with the creation of the tunnel, and even the operation of the tunnel." The submarine finally got to the part of the ocean that is located right next to Drunshell. Red positioned the submarine to face the rock wall. "The problem is, they covered the hole up." Red reached over at the chair next to him where his bag sat. He reached in and grabbed a Pokeball. He tapped the small button and a Pokemon came out. "Espeon, can you tell me where the hole is?" The Espeon nodded and closed her eyes. She hummed slightly and jumped./p
p data-p-id="5a00537a6631442c2c046b12c88d6400""Esp, Peon, Esp," she said. Red nodded and returned her into her Pokeball with a quick thanks./p
p data-p-id="710b65523c0009d165ad15df558dc921""You understand her?" Claus asked./p
p data-p-id="9fed1a9917f5798db9092984e1a8ba62""All of you have your powers, mine is understanding any language," Red proudly said. He cleared his throat and reached into his bag./p
p data-p-id="98c6cb61a60490482d07f77d87499669""If you can, can you tell us what this means?" Ness asked, showing Red the book he took from the library. Red took it and shot his hand from the bag with a Pokeball./p
p data-p-id="60267d23a462a68cf015c51be43fdf1f""Oh, it's Pig Latin. 'Come to me' is what it says." Red handed Ness the book and walked to the side of the submarine where a small hole was. This hole didn't break through the submarine, it was kind of like a bowl. Red put the ball in the 'bowl' and pressed a button next to it. The 'bowl' closed the ball and shot out into the water. That's when the ball opened and another Pokemon floated. Red tapped on another button which activated a small speaker. "Blastoise, break a hole in the rocks, slightly over the green rock." Blastoise nodded and floated toward the rocks./p
p data-p-id="10c76f1ae402db226865282e304987bd""Wait, doesn't this mean New Pork City will be stashed with Pigmasks?" Lucas asked. Ninten nodded and looked at Red./p
p data-p-id="db3c7e6a483b679e186c2c520b6578c3""Will you help us at New Pork?" Ninten asked. Red nodded./p
p data-p-id="1611f090186c6cde1e22e57997ead278""I was hired as part of the WPK by Mario, it's my job," Red said./p
p data-p-id="389b997a8b215eae259f5cd28d167bd1""The WPK?" Claus asked./p
p data-p-id="ac86ae2ecf3e468b8363156f58befab5""The World Peace Keepers, a group that tries to keep the peace of this large world. I, or rather Master Herneldo, is a part of it," Ninten answered. A loud explosion came from the rocks and when they looked they saw the tunnel wasn't filling with water. Red smirked and walked to the now covered 'bowl'./p
p data-p-id="1ac3b222994429c12275ceb3208afbc6""There it is," Red said. Blastoise swam back to his Pokeball. He tapped on the button and returned himself. When he did Red pressed the button again and this sucked the ball into the 'bowl'. He waited a few seconds and tapped it a final time to grab the Pokeball. He sat back in the chair and drove it to the tunnel. He entered the strangely water-less tunnel. He climbed up the ladder to the door and opened it. "It's going to be a tight squeeze, but we'll be fine." Red crawled down the submarine and landed on the ground. The others did the same. The four boys brought out their swords and Red grabbed a Pokeball from his bag. They walked carefully through the tunnel and stopped when music started to be heard./p
p data-p-id="68ef90cd9e91bc49c6e543bc3eb81e41""Porky's theme, that egotistical asshole plays it all the time," Claus said./p
p data-p-id="2d447146bea432ad1a96508e4f1a5d1a""That means we're close," Ninten whispered. He put his finger over his lips and nodded to Red. Red tapped the button and a Pokemon came out. Red kneeled./p
p data-p-id="0810ef08a1082306046256a56b600871""Dugtrio, distract those Pigmasks like in Fourside, remember?" Red asked. Dugtrio nodded and dug underground. Red stood up and reached into his bag. He grabbed this ball with extra enthusiasm. He nodded and Ninten and they started walking more down the tunnel. They heard small explosions and lots of chatter. The boys got to a door. When they opened it slightly they saw Pigmasks running toward something. Ninten fully opened the door. Claus's helmet appeared on his head and he smirked at Lucas./p
p data-p-id="d71015e53509da693b3d2e7e6707569c""Ready to be some asses, Lil' bro?" he asked. Lucas smiled./p
p data-p-id="711c815fdf399c81bc73df19917bdaa8""Ready when you are," Lucas said. The five of them ran into the large room. They saw loads of Pigmasks. They were creating more spider mechs. Red threw the ball toward a large horde. That's when a dragon appeared with a loud roar./p
p data-p-id="87608b1f8c24b121679ea185862e6b47""Charizard, flamethrower," Red yelled. Charizard burned all of the Pigmasks around him. Red looked back at the others. "You guys go that way, I've got this part down pat." They nodded and ran in the opposite direction of Red. Each of them sliced Pigmasks that had run toward them. Claus shot a powerful shot at a large horde, killing all of them. Ness and Lucas surrounded their swords with flames and slammed their swords into the ground. This caused the area in front of them to be covered in scorching hot flames. This killed many more. Ninten ran through the flames with no problem. He got to the end of the flames and saw a large horde. He touched the ground and ice spikes shot from the ground impaling all of them. The flames disappeared and Ninten stood up, breaking the ice. He turned back to the others./p
p data-p-id="41c8342eb86334944cb154e303ba0b24""Yea, teamwork," Ninten happily said./p
p data-p-id="4709701becb48fec5ac6ebbb6de476fd""More like brute force," Claus said./p
p data-p-id="cf790dab1767b6292573d19fb2e057d6""What's the difference?" Ninten chuckled and turned around. They saw a large door with a pig snout as its handle. Lucas gulped. Ness noticed the fear in Lucas. Ness grabbed Lucas's hand and walked toward the door. Lucas tried to fight back, but Ness's hands on him were strong./p
p data-p-id="9129cc8e4828ed420d12ebd4255b4224""This is abuse," Lucas annoyingly said./p
p data-p-id="3a173038a4a6aeb8bdbff9f76f05a0e8""It's in the name of love," Ness taunted./p
p data-p-id="3cc44e84686138e9813f03a59e1350bf""Spoken like a true abuser." They stopped at the door. Ness put his ear to the door./p
p data-p-id="9505bcf9a09f67c16d2f3a163db79c2c""Porky, they're killing everyone...right...uh-huh...I understand that but-...ugh, got it, boss," a deep voice sounded. Ness looked at Lucas. Lucas nodded and put his hand on the doorknob. He was able to freeze the lock and quickly used fire to destroy it. Claus ran up and pulled on the door with Ninten. When the door was opened Ness and Lucas pointed their swords into the room. They saw a buff man with a pig mask. He growled and the other two joined./p
p data-p-id="3f95e337e1ee9e15f89f534dec23dc35""You..." Claus said./p
p data-p-id="4220b31aa6791e1294029a2749bba59b""Well, Masked Man, I was hoping you didn't betray Porky. He's gonna hate this," The Pork Trooper said. Claus aimed the arm cannon at him and smirked./p
p data-p-id="249096346a604b709b3fd3c553a0c435""That's if you live." Claus shot at him but the shot did nothing. The Pork Trooper ran forward and nearly slashed Ness and Lucas with his horns. He tried to run forward again but Claus was able to stab his leg. The Pork Trooper fell forward. "Lucas, Ness, fire, use fire." The two boys nodded and shot fire from their swords. The clothes caught on fire and The Pork Trooper started to run around crazily. Ninten ran and stabbed his sword through his back. The Pork Trooper grabbed Ninten's face, expecting him to be burned, but he wasn't. Ninten's sword got surrounded in fire which caused The Pork Trooper to scream louder than ever. Claus walked over and stabbed The Pork Trooper's head, killing him. They looked back at Ness and Lucas who ran into the room. They joined them./p
p data-p-id="e86bcc387f21f356299a90eaae115e8c"They looked around the room. They moved books, figures, and many others but didn't find anything. Lucas crossed his arms and looked around. He saw something stuck in a glass bottle. He tilted his head and walked to the bottle. He noticed the red thing move. Once he saw its face he could tell it was a snake. The snake looked surprised. Lucas looked back at the others and decided to let the snake out. Once let out the snake wrapped himself around Lucas's neck and rubbed his head against Lucas. Lucas giggled and patted its head. Ness walked over. "Well, what do we have here?" Ness asked./p
p data-p-id="05497685b8829de54c1c62c3e0cad46c""This little guy was trapped," Lucas said. Lucas looked at the snake. "Do you know where we'd find New Pork City?" The snake instantly nodded its head. The snake jumped from Lucas's neck and slithered to a globe. He wrapped around the globe and used its tail to point at something. Lucas looked at it. "New Donk City?"/p
p data-p-id="6f00c4733852a8b6ad06069b16b5ef4e""Strange, that's not where it should be," Red suddenly said. The two boys shot around. "Sorry, I was waiting for a bit so I decided to come over." By this point, Claus and Ninten walked over. They didn't bother to ask about the snake./p
p data-p-id="0a87328ffb791b515d3dca3015d138ba""What do you mean that's not where it should be?" Ness asked./p
p data-p-id="8431bb8ec16b843adbcd6780877b6c68""I mean..." Red moved the map around and pointed at a small area on an island. "This is New Donk City..." He moved the globe back to where the snake pointed at. "This isn't." Claus looked at the label. He pushed through and looked at it closer./p
p data-p-id="a15ca5e498a9a1d4afeb0b597c932457""What's wrong?" Ninten asked./p
p data-p-id="34a603494fe29493ed32794174e3a4ea""The way it's written looks weird," Claus said. He rubbed the name with his thumb and looked at his thumb. He saw some black ink on it. He looked at the others and Claus nodded. He continued to rub and most stayed the same. The only thing that changed was D to a P and the N to an R. He stepped back and they all looked at the new name./p
p data-p-id="e5b9653189edb045814b5ce2a974a7c7""New Pork City," Red said. He looked at the others./p
p data-p-id="4ee1261809cee61c2330892c70beccf9""Alrighty, I'll be in the sub," Red said. Claus and Ninten instantly followed him. Lucas looked at the snake. He reached forward and the snake wrapped himself around his right arm. He chuckled and Ness wrapped his arm around Lucas's neck./p
p data-p-id="e1cc90cd9df0a1e356fd0b0dc300a0bb""You want to keep him?" Ness asked. Lucas looked at the snake./p
p data-p-id="672e779e97213940d58ac745ccd788bb""You wanna help?" Lucas asked. The snake smiled and nodded. Lucas looked back at Ness. "You sure?" Ness smiled and rubbed Lucas's neck with his forehead. He kissed it and looked back in Lucas's flustered eyes./p
p data-p-id="2ae424dbad225dd5fbc24343a92aa2ae""I still love how flustered I can make you."/p
p data-p-id="64c87848382b2f40d7a4ffa94333b3ca""I-I'm not flustered...just..."/p
p data-p-id="b0e78603bdbd1250b9f835b6bb987110""Yeah right."/p
p data-p-id="1300066c8c4fdd30af93f0e0be3bbd63""Hurry up lovebirds. You'll have more time to fuck when Porky is dealt with," Ninten yelled. Lucas looked at the snake and clenched his fist. They went through the room and down the large room to the tunnel. They crawled into the submarine and Red started it up./p
p data-p-id="66fcc8a312d1c982cc05d636e90a985e""You know where to go?" Claus asked./p
p data-p-id="84023fc78ae7fcbb4e9dd0c8287e94e4""Yup, like I said, I've been through this entire world. I know where I'm going. But first, I need to call the WPK," Red said. He brought out a small circle that had a cross slash in the lower left of it. He tapped the part where the two slashes intersected and it started to ring. It rang for a few seconds and soon a middle-aged man appeared in front of Red. "Mario, we found New Pork City, I'm sending you the coordinates."/p
p data-p-id="3267d8b30250f3d57cfe4343f4621d99""Thanks, Red, but I can't help but notice people behind you," Mario said. Red showing Mario the four boys. Mario's eyes stopped on Ninten. "Well, Master Herneldo, these the boys you were training?"/p
p data-p-id="dd99f14bd2a4dddb7a8ce5034dfde313""Mario, the name's Ninten, you know that. And yea, I trained Ness and Lucas..." Ninten said as he pointed at Ness and Lucas. He looked at Claus. "Claus was a big help, but he didn't get trained by me." Mario looked at Claus and crossed his arms./p
p data-p-id="a3ab6951038ae5503821872490fac6b9""Masked Man..." Claus looked down and took off his helmet./p
p data-p-id="475b7aa7a05bd9246a6d2d51dafbf680""I don't go by that, the name's Claus...sorry for what I've done," Claus said. Mario crossed his arms./p
p data-p-id="388f8a422d4e0c3b02d3c200e09f5675""Well, I'd like to see you redeem yourself. Anyway, Red..." Red moved the hologram back in front of him. "We'll send some support over. We're kind of spread thin with the threat of Bowser growing worse, but we'll try our best." Red nodded and turned the hologram off. Red looked back at the boys./p
p data-p-id="b85ffaa95d5d9e90e71ad9e55d7fa6e5""Well, it's now or never," Red said. Red drove the submarine through the ocean. They got to the end of the ocean and stepped out. The circle that Red used earlier started to make a clicking noise. Red ignored it and waited in the field with the boys. Lucas was going to ask what they were doing, but he stopped himself when he saw something flying in the air. Red looked up and watched the ship land. The door opened and Red saw Fox in the doorway. He pointed into the ship and Red looked at the boys. "Everyone, get in the Great Fox. Fox'll take us to New Pork City." They nodded and ran toward the Great Fox. Fox closed the door and walked to the chair. He flew up. Red sat in the chair next to him. "You know where to go?"/p
p data-p-id="e53606592b16f0f3d36609e0845a97b1""Yup, we'll be there soon," Fox said. Fox sped up the Great Fox which caused Lucas, who wasn't sitting at the time, to fall on Ness's lap. Ness's face grew lewd./p
p data-p-id="35867742c309ee0bef6b1e5910626521""Lucas, not now, too public," Ness smirked./p
p data-p-id="ce8f6ad2d776b2a71061a965a4c662c8""Screw you," Lucas said, struggling to stand and sit in the seat next to him./p
p data-p-id="f1bd567847e848bc8919bae1bc05d217""That's clearly what you want to do." Lucas chuckled./p
p data-p-id="526b81f025e2ed08e9656ee574ff4a87""Man, you guys really wanna bang," Claus said. Lucas looked at him./p
p data-p-id="338d5ceab6f27df872a3bb2ca8e673e3""Shut up, I have priorities."/p
p data-p-id="02c2bd6367a82d45ab42c7d77931396f""Yea, clearly its sex," Ninten chuckled. Lucas rolled his eyes and looked at the snake. He smirked and scratched its head./p
p data-p-id="f1c10f4f2d511de55bf753b3a1c333db""Lucas, you know what kind of snake that is?" Claus asked. Lucas shook his head. "It's a rope snake, it's very stretchy."/p
p data-p-id="e04b4afb9d4d638a78ee8b38e27931b5""You are?" Lucas asked the snake. The snake nodded and Lucas smirked. He leaned down and whispered something. The snake nodded again. Lucas grabbed the snake's tail and extended it toward Claus, and the snake smacked its head into Claus. Lucas started to laugh as the snake retracted./p
p data-p-id="5bd30262426f7f730daa533169c69499""Ow, you ass." The snake smiled and licked Lucas's cheek. Ness crossed his arms and licked Lucas's other cheek. Lucas looked at him./p
p data-p-id="5865a18420450de4e1ce9243e1035202""You jealous?"/p
p data-p-id="b6f7deb54a20271fcd06149efe790f92""Nah, I just wanted to have an excuse to lick you," Ness laughed. The Great Fox suddenly stopped and Fox entered the small room the boys were in. Red soon joined./p
p data-p-id="4191d1e9c58c243f724411efc913a031""Boys, we're here..." Fox walked to the door and smacked the button. The door lowered. "Let's go, the others are waiting for us. And, try not to get killed, I rather not bury any kids." Fox walked out of the ship. Red nervously chuckled./p
p data-p-id="b94bcf8cdae17627c64a6dbd4fd2c071""He's a bit serious, but he'll protect us. Come on," Red said as he left. The four boys stood up and walked out of the Great Fox and saw they were in a desert. They didn't see New Pork City, or any city. Fox pulled out a small screen and tapped on something/p
p data-p-id="a026e6caeddcef1d41aa9dd0c1f73448""Says it's right here." He put the screen up and looked at everyone. "Look around here, try to find something that looks fishy." Everyone nodded. They started walking around the desert. Ninten saw something odd with the sand. He smacked Claus's chest and pointed at it. The sand was normally colored, but this one part was darker. Claus shot at the darker sand and saw a painting. Claus tilted his head. Red walked over and chuckled./p
p data-p-id="94c2fce21ffef42b514994a33718ce7b""Bowser must've made some deal with Porky..." Red said. He turned around and looked at the others. "Fox, it's through a painting. Boys, come on." They came and Fox examined the painting. He ripped the painting from the sand and looked on the back of it. He saw Bowser's branding logo, with it just being his shell. Fox put it on the ground and jumped in. Red looked back at the others. Red stepped in and Lucas scratched the back of his neck. They jumped in and landed on the ground. They looked up and saw a large purple city. Every turn had a pig snout on it./p
p data-p-id="d3a757ccf83549daad1c7ac5982cac48""The city is huge..." Ness said. Claus pointed at the tallest building./p
p data-p-id="b6ef95262345775113f2c19b3af4780b""Porky is there," Claus said. Claus started to walk forward, but Fox stopped him./p
p data-p-id="88aae8fdabc7294735989d3ce67e6c49""Reinforcements are coming, they now know how to get here. We must wait," Fox said. Claus nodded and sat down on the street. Lucas walked over to Ninten./p
p data-p-id="888ee847805877742c260b1416e25efa""Go talk to him," Lucas said./p
p data-p-id="ee06fc25c465555548446b8112562a97""Why?" Ninten asked. Lucas looked back at Ness who pushed the air. Lucas pushed Ninten toward Claus. Ninten scowled back and sighed. He sat next to Claus. "Hey, big guy, what's on your mind?" Claus looked at the tall building./p
p data-p-id="8b4a6a6a3508ea5efc5256f85de7bb38""Mine, and Lucas's, dad is up there. If I step in there, with you guys, he's going to kill him," Claus said. Ninten thought for a moment./p
p data-p-id="3d44c13a78827f111eb21109c02adaa9""The Pork Tropper didn't know you were working with them."/p
p data-p-id="071aaf8d4ebb78b3698616965f2894bc""Right."/p
p data-p-id="ab4d34c529f46127e1f81c3bc4075d54""So, you can still keep up the act of the Masked Man. He just could've caught us and The Pork Trooper died trying." Claus looked down and his helmet appeared in his hand. He smirked./p
p data-p-id="a376711a701aced7cc1c08772f34c916""Yea, thanks Ninten." He looked at Ninten and saw Ninten's smile. Claus smirked at Ninten's dimple. Claus cleared his throat and scratched the back of his neck. "After all of this, would you like to..."/p
p data-p-id="e85de64f9a4679ee9a5a735e9e3b05b6""Go out?" Claus looked surprised and he gulped./p
p data-p-id="7508b9b56bf9b88af9bf23626a655dae""Yea...go out." Ninten's smile widened and pulled Claus into a hug./p
p data-p-id="41bfbc035bb85200575b793012eeea21""It'd be my honor." Claus smiled and put his helmet on Ninten. He stood up and walked over to Lucas who was currently being kissed by Ness. Claus crossed his arms. Ness backed up with a giggle./p
p data-p-id="8651573f3eb78cc689f044d6c674cf31""There is a time and place for everything, now isn't a time for that." They waited a few more minutes for reinforcements. Red introduced the few people who did come. There was Pit, Mega Man, and Cloud. Kirby soon came in./p
p data-p-id="65e66eb9e5c48e5e6891f48b9202713f""Late as always, you need to speed things up," Cloud said./p
p data-p-id="b66186cf54d1511feec91804b20be58f""I have a part-time job ok, King Dedede would kill me if I didn't complete my shift," Kirby said. He stepped forward and spawned a warp star. He pointed to it and everyone stepped on. The warp star floated up./p
p data-p-id="c3e7b81669858047c76d51cc8a1d3b3f""The tall building, but we need to prevent my dad's death," Claus said. Lucas grew worried./p
p data-p-id="fa9eb2f96e89c0dbce9e1b72b1ca0933""How do you plan on doing that?" Cloud asked./p
p data-p-id="113763b8b80e03f7f6f82a9d56bc9c8a""Land down there, I've got an idea." Kirby crashed the star on the ground and Claus ran to the back of the tower. His helmet was still on Ninten, and it suddenly disappeared. He looked disappointed slightly./p
p data-p-id="be5aaed8ccdc4fcad796f68b78b83197""You liked the helmet?" Ness asked./p
p data-p-id="b2d0a741a5122d499a42e77d40a638d1""It smelled like him," Ninten whined. Lucas wasn't in the joking mood. He looked up at the tower and gulped./p
p data-p-id="7d2f3d1eb4ae87107453447f8b607217""What's wrong kid?" Pit asked./p
p data-p-id="3b94b593adb7fa43fec2f2b6bafd038a""That sick bastard," Lucas said under his breath. Pit was able to hear it and he was thrown off by the surprisingly intimidating voice. Ness grabbed Lucas's hand and rubbed it./p
p data-p-id="b0d1f41acb049e36f363d4f8d012bfce""Lucas, remember," Ness said. Lucas closed his eyes and started some deep breathing. Ness looked at Pit. "Porky killed our families, Lucas's brother and father were spared. Claus is here, but Flint is still up there." Mega Man crossed his arms./p
p data-p-id="9846c2d28466d6015066b460687c4421""Why aren't you as affected as him, it seems your whole family is gone," Mega Man asked. Cloud smacked Mega Man's head./p
p data-p-id="e3b302c382d78ff0c3e1e9e7a5490e10""Don't be inconsiderate," Cloud said. Ness shook his head. He looked at Lucas with a smile. He was still trying to calm himself down./p
p data-p-id="918c934d1479ca5c1961eaa90a5d0151""It's 'cause I have Lucas. When I ever felt down I just looked at him. His determination to save his family, makes it seem like I'm saving my family. The true power of love I guess," Ness chuckled./p
p data-p-id="cb4359139818f0866ee36d23caa745eb""You're so embarrassing," Lucas said. Cloud smirked and patted their backs./p
p data-p-id="43197618ae63da7edbd9b14aa9f4932c""You're strong kids...it'll be an honor to work with you," Cloud said./p
p data-p-id="7073705c47b3229ec5cf3788a796ddaa""Alright, I'm back," Claus said. Claus had his helmet and a lot of chains. "I just need to chain you guys up." Everyone's face went blank./p
p data-p-id="54137dd9498f41a19d8cc288d4724f6b""I ain't into that kinky shit," Fox said. Red put a hand on his shoulder. Ninten walked over and Claus chained up his arms./p
p data-p-id="028c431e651507ffc6937da957c026c6""We better do this alone later," Ninten winked./p
p data-p-id="18de38053762d0aa78a35939f0ae7762""You're lucky I don't have tape, not shut it," Claus said. Eventually, everyone, including Fox, got chained. Claus cleared his voice to bring up his deeper voice. He pulled on the chains and walked into the building. Behind the front counter was a Pigmask. He looked at Claus./p
p data-p-id="5314eaf81c37d2eb3bb5ff15ee28c8c2""Ah, Masked Man, been a bit," he said. Claus nodded./p
p data-p-id="64e6ac325cd5c9b9765223695cb567c4""Let me up to Porky, he needs them." The Pigmask looked at who was chained and his eyes stopped on Cloud./p
p data-p-id="c32b475d07ab446147cb76f5205ac8e3""Porky has been at war with these fuckers for far too long..." the Pigmask tapped a button and a nearby elevator opened. "Porky will be waiting." Claus nodded and dragged them toward the elevator. Cloud glared at the Pigmask. Claus closed the door and they went up. They made it to the top floor and the door opened. Claus looked at everyone./p
p data-p-id="28209ce5f55266b3ca2097f4b5f4a583""You guys got your way to leave the chains?" Claus asked. Everyone nodded and Claus smirked. "Good, 'cause Porky will need all of us." They left the elevator and through the hall, and made it to a large pig snout door. Claus knocked on it and a Pigmask opened the door. Mega Man recognized the physique./p
p data-p-id="b32e364999f8106170db9abd368e8dca""Guys, it's Samus," Mega Man whispered./p
p data-p-id="4fde79948558033cd1f989e40fcda3ec""Yes? Oh, Masked Man, come in," she said. Claus walked in and looked at Porky, who was looking out of the window. Claus cleared his throat./p
p data-p-id="94063ac9ca61f007896fe01476455643""Porky!" Porky turned around and looked at Claus./p
p data-p-id="8fd972dffb84d2e789e0cfd527a2108d""You bastard..." Porky said./p
p data-p-id="abff4a46ad44c90173fbbc5a7e00d359""Wah..."/p
p data-p-id="4b4c49ccd31a3a3de98f0b4a3f3d89f8""You killed my Pork Trooper, my Pigmasks, and you dare stand in front of me?" Samus slammed the door. Claus growled and Cloud broke through the chains. He ran toward Porky, but Porky just shot a laser at him. Everyone broke out of the chains, all but Ness and Lucas. Ness and Lucas ran toward Samus, while chained up. They wrapped the chain between them around her neck and slammed it down. This broke the chains and put her unconscious. Mega Man shot toward Pokry, but Porky was able to absorb it. The four boys brought out their swords and ran toward Porky. Ness jumped on the flat side of Lucas's sword and he threw Ness. Ninten and Claus did the same. Claus and Ness stabbed their swords into the glass, but Porky ripped them away and tossed them. This kept him distracted enough for Pit to crash his sword into the glass. Red tossed Blastoise out and Blastoise caused a Whirlpool of water to surround Porky. Porky shot lasers on the ground, destroying the water and shooting everyone back. The legs of the mech folded inward and the mech hovered up. He shot more lasers and a light came from underneath it. The light caught Kirby and made him float up. Mega Man shot up at Kirby who inhaled the shot and spat it back up the light. This caused Porky to shoot up and crash into the roof. He fell down. Cloud ran in and stabbed the glass with his sword. Claus exploded the glass with a shot, shooting Porky from the seat. Lucas walked to him. Lucas brought out his sword, but Porky kicked Lucas's foot. Lucas fell back and Porky shot up. He grabbed Lucas's neck and his sword. Porky pointed the sword at Lucas's side. "Make a single move, and I'll kill him." Ness clenched his fist./p
p data-p-id="ac9790a5fde1a0aa771aa42252d28991""YOU BASTARD, LET HIM GO-" Ness yelled. NInten grabbed him./p
p data-p-id="dac2cd6d69ea272df2b3837f01fc7718""Don't let emotions-"/p
p data-p-id="1a6da1b6a8d1273e3fb1de1123c3a410""NO FUCK OFF, THIS BITCH WON'T TOUCH MY LUCAS!" Ness ripped his arm from Ninten and walked toward Porky, who sped up his walk backward toward the window. Claus stepped in front of him./p
p data-p-id="1bbf8dcf350d5dc166473ac25eb6145b""Ness, calm down," Claus said./p
p data-p-id="634720e13ea7dfe47ded8b18417fc72e""NO, EVERYTHING WAS TAKEN FROM ME, IF THIS FAT BASTARD TAKE MY LUCAS AWAY, I SWEAR ON EVERYTHING EVERYONE IS GOING TO REGRET IT." Porky chuckled. Claus turned around. Porky pushed the sword into Lucas's gut, causing him to scream. Porky looked at Lucas./p
p data-p-id="0c87be15e2598651aaaae6c8aac06e51""You wanna see your dad dontcha? Well, you'll be able to see him, him and your mom," Porky said as he crashed through the window. Ness ran to the window and held his hand toward them./p
p data-p-id="9efe62f444c0213535144099787bcdc6""Lucas..." Claus looked down and fell to his knees./p
p data-p-id="db73a84c622805e4c8d991179cee1404""Dad...Lucas," he said quietly. Kirby ran toward the hole and pointed down. His warp star went down, but Porky kicked it away. Lucas started to go unconscious, but he was kicked into pain when Porky shoved the sword deeper in. Lucas felt nauseous, but looked up and saw Ness. Lucas knew he was close to crashing into the ground. He smiled as he looked at Porky./p
p data-p-id="2e3ce7b8329141b3109c351a48d41ad2""Porky...thank you..." Lucas said./p
p data-p-id="422ecc547142b0af0b6087ba287c719c""Huh?" Porky questioned./p
p data-p-id="82c45a3d990419c9f08b2a8f457326da""I get to see what Ness buried deep down...that's all I've ever wanted." Lucas closed his eyes and shoved the sword deeper, but Lucas didn't scream. Porky saw the ground, so he closed his eyes. He noticed he didn't crash into it, he opened his eyes and looked at the ground. They were floating. Porky noticed a rainbow aura around Lucas. They quickly shot up into the air. Ness looked up./p
p data-p-id="a746de4d30da5ee7073cab20abbef1b3""Lucas...?" Ness asked. Claus looked back and Ninten helped him stand. They walked over. Ninten smirked. They stopped slightly above the tower. Lucas opened his eyes. In his eyes were balls with a cross slash in the lower left. Lucas grabbed Porky's hand and Porky felt an odd amount of strength./p
p data-p-id="759cae24d5922711c09acf6204786a83""I don't exactly want to see Ness cry, so there's just one thing I want to say. Lucas held Porky off and spat into Porky's face. "Fuck off." Lucas threw Porky down and Lucas held up his arm. When he moved his hand down large asteroids started to shoot down. They were faster than Porky so they crashed into him causing him to cough up blood. He soon crashed into the floor, splattering like a bug./p
p data-p-id="708872989a3b944c54e729e653e4201e""Starstorm..." Ninten said. Lucas stopped floating and started to fall. He looked at Ness as he passed, and he formed a small heart with his hands./p
p data-p-id="d160ab98e90e8ac694682f3847358a8a""Lucas..." Ness ran and jumped out. He was able to quickly grab Lucas into a hug. "If you're gonna die, we're both gonna do it."/p
p data-p-id="8272a6ff97f8cc9b09a389badd77c885""Copycat," Lucas smiled. They closed their eyes but noticed rather than fall they seemed to bounce. They opened their eyes and saw they were just floating in the air. They looked up and saw that the rope snake bit into Lucas's leg. He started to retract, lifting them up. Lucas chuckled. "Well then..." he looked at Ness. "Looks like we won't die just yet." Ness just hugged him tighter./p
p data-p-id="8a520ff43a0814cef34a066b75fa80cb""I hate you so much."/p
p data-p-id="37c3d27b056ffb1d6dfcfe858679b2e7""I love you too." The snake pulled them into the building and the second Ness let go of Lucas, Claus pulled him into a hug./p
p data-p-id="373a2f431be81694f19749f08c5f7fe4""I'm sorry Lucas," Claus pleaded./p
p data-p-id="1cb007edd6ae34f43326902c3d3c6c88""About what?"/p
p data-p-id="d7eab8822783309a67debc1faf6f76c8""Dad, he's dead because of me." Lucas faintly pushed Claus back and smiled./p
p data-p-id="d40e55a5fd57037895e3b9a77b3ccded""You're here, I'm here...that's what dad would want," Lucas said. He put up his hand and Claus took it. They stood up. Ninten walked over. "Guess what, I didn't let emotions lead me." Ninten chuckled./p
p data-p-id="80e32e7ac9d9e2853e1430909bc5e0a0""I know, but it looks like I'll need to teach someone else," Ninten said as he looked at Ness./p
p data-p-id="4f88c7477bbe0efd0cacccf3166a5c82""Lucas?" Cloud asked. Ninten walked away and Cloud stepped forward. He crossed his arms and had a faint smile. "That move you did, it was a final smash."/p
p data-p-id="3e5fbdc37197dbe3ac25157bcc8e3cbe""It was?" Lucas asked./p
p data-p-id="d63f8260f7f44cc98072b9fed8386d54""The smash ball in your eyes showed that. There's someone I'd like to introduce you to." Lucas tilted his head./p
p data-p-id="93371491e1baa3c4ccb1764c643f83b1"After a lot of transportation, they stopped in front of a large building. Ness and Lucas gawked at it. Cloud stepped to the light blue and golden door. He opened it. Everyone else but the four boys stepped in. "Welcome to Smash Hall," Ninten smirked and led the four boys toward it. They saw twelve pictures in the main hall. One of them was Mario, and another looked like Samus. They soon entered a large circular hall. There were eight seats, all filled up. Cloud, and all the others-excluding Kirby and Fox, kneeled. Ninten, Claus, and Lucas looked confused. Mario jumped from her chair and walked down the various steps./p
p data-p-id="fba1a238c0d574c1898fd3cbf58f25ba""Boys?" Mario asked. The three of them looked at him. "We're the eight elites." He introduced the other elites. Donkey Kong, Link, Samus-one that fights in her suit and not her zero suit, Yoshi, Kirby, Fox, and Pikachu. "Ness and Lucas, could we speak?" Cloud and the others left the room. Mario walked to the boys. "You were the ones trained by Ninten, right?"/p
p data-p-id="2ebd6510d9ccca8e6de1b5d438a4a884""Y-yes, sir," they said./p
p data-p-id="95e8331c23d9145f12d696c58184013c""That surely is clear by your skills and speech. Well, Ninten has stated he wanted to open a self-defense business and is resigning from his place in the WPK. Zero Suit Samus is also resigning, she needs to deal with mental issues from being mind-controlled."/p
p data-p-id="d4d231908c34db20f1b76a14e8ada0b6""Right."/p
p data-p-id="115830d298e92a5f8579295f079f4c07""I've talked to the other elites, and we came up with an offer." Mario looked around at the members, all of whom giving a grin and nodded. Even Fox did it. Mario looked back at the boys. "Would you like to join the WPK? We could use the power of the Starstorm from both of you." Lucas looked at Ness and grinned./p
p data-p-id="97c2c74df5fee56374bca01dc1e54066""We'll do it," Ness said./p
p data-p-id="f2cfd02b82a4b9f7b936f0a79d5dbfa5""What's gonna happen to Claus?" Lucas asked./p
p data-p-id="df72dc8a46169dee7daed78756751f25""Don't worry about him. He seems like he's going to work with Ninten. We won't punish him for what he's done," Mario said. Lucas let out a breath of relief. Mario smiled and walked back to his seat. "Well, I usually don't do this, but-ROB, bring in the other two boys." A ROB nodded and left the room. He soon came back with Claus and Ninten. "Even though only two of you are going to be full members of the WPK, I'd like you four to go out on a mission."/p
p data-p-id="7462305559725ecdf785e037f24cd119""What mission?" Claus asked as he put on his helmet./p
p data-p-id="482df7331b7b9fcba175284349ff0391""We've been at war with Bowser for quite some time, and they are in desperate need of reinforcements. You guys seem to be the best fit, for Bowser had done his research on all of us, but not you," Link said. The four of them looked at each other. They smiled and looked at the elites./p
p data-p-id="1549e17b78779480761ff1bb7c0381cd""We'll do it," the four of them said. Smaus chuckled and stepped down. She stopped in front of them./p
p data-p-id="1f5759a4b560ec7c662e2b25397729f0""I'll be outside, look for my ship, it's easy to spot," Samus said. Lucas put his hand between the four of them. Ness put him on top of Lucas's and then Claus and Ninten. They all looked at each other./p
p data-p-id="b4a92fb25f290abb19c421fd4c057727""PK BOYS," they yelled as they shot their hands up. They exited the room on a mission, a mission to stay together and defend everyone./p
p data-p-id="eecce5d1ca24237045133963fe64a1c2""So, where are we going?" Lucas asked./p
p data-p-id="e0664fd47e0ff8433e06ab40bcd597a8""A city called New Pork City," Claus said. Ness tilted his head and thought for a moment./p
p data-p-id="de2398f27dd2447c513974979da676ca""Where is it?" Lucas asked./p
p data-p-id="d3b99074b77bfbb58e0ef273ba6bdecd""That's the thing, it's a hidden city," Ninten said./p
p data-p-id="f6d63dfae41f1761384d25f5264fe929""How're we gonna get there then?" Ninten and Claus exchanged a glance and just shrugged. Lucas looked down but soon felt Ness's hand on his shoulder. He looked up./p
p data-p-id="b52040284d36492644badb4e6759a5f4""Let's look around Drunshell. This place has a little of every town and city, maybe it could have something of New Pork City," Ness suggested. Claus thought for a moment./p
p data-p-id="a617e0fe07d3f528a6dd41193351e328""Look for pig snouts. If you see them on anything, investigate." Ness nodded and grabbed Lucas's hand and walked away. Ninten crossed his arms as they looked at the two boys./p
p data-p-id="c27569474d4c9362ddc8e9728bc6fc07""Ness, did that to be alone with him, huh?" Ninten asked./p
p data-p-id="e62d9f6e45e783cbda3321a723471dbd""Absolutely, anyhow, we should at least look around." Ninten nodded and they walked away./p
p data-p-id="1ad2006ce058e28d8efc2b2a3d0cb66c"Ness and Lucas arrived at a library. They entered and saw the librarian. They, of course, knew each other. "Zero Suit, how you been?" Ness asked./p
p data-p-id="0c586edd57bd39a30bbf35d2ec79943c""Name's Samus, but I'm doing well," she said. Ness put his arms on the counter. He looked back at Lucas./p
p data-p-id="1ab6715cc5a839452c3740aa6fa153b7""Lucas and I are looking for a book on New Pork City." Samus looked at them and saw the seriousness in their faces. She walked to the small horizontal door to allow the boys behind the counter. They entered and Samus led them to a small employee-only room at the back. She opened the door for them to go in. When they did they saw stairs. Samus walked down them with the boys following. They eventually got to a vault. Samus put in the combination and the vault opened. Ness and Lucas walked in and saw the single book on a pedestal. Lucas grabbed it. On the cover, it read "The Pork"./p
p data-p-id="5a0fcf41049561563d1ddb497ae7c925""Where'd you get this?" Lucas asked./p
p data-p-id="6f3817f1d5014eb641e6dd63610d618d""A boy gave it to me, under the name of Master H, though," Samus said./p
p data-p-id="8e572c8ca01cdd5559052f1dfa02f674""Master H?" Ness walked over and leaned into Lucas's ear./p
p data-p-id="baae7143a926a3bed4fd8ce300d184ae""You thinking what I'm thinking?" Ness asked./p
p data-p-id="f4516a9e1b44d07357e54f0616768906""You can read my mind, so you'd know."/p
p data-p-id="f5639ff27ba5ecbf37064ae0a049008c""Sorry, I just love saying that," Ness smiled. Lucas opened the book and the image of Porky showed itself. On the next mage were people dressed up in pig-like uniforms. They read what these pig things are about. They found out that certain people were brainwashed and when certain words are said they crack and go into Pigmask form. "Omecay otay emay?" He looked at Lucas who seemed confused too. That's when Lucas was suddenly attacked. Lucas launched back and dropped the book. Ness looked at Samus who's face started to strangely twitch./p
p data-p-id="724a4da2201257c3b137a36ebbea5e1b""Ymay astermay eedsnay emay," she said. She looked down at the book and tried to have her grappler grab it but Ness rammed his shoulder into her. Lucas recovered and shot ice at her. She froze instantly and Lucas grabbed the book./p
p data-p-id="d4232f0a67ff487494ec175c3194b680""Let's go," Lucas said. Ness nodded and they ran. When they exited the room they were surrounded by people in pig uniforms./p
p data-p-id="7fbbe0c6bdb5c079c85de37a01adaf87""Illkay emthay," one said. They all pulled out guns and aimed them at the boys. That's when Claus and Ninten barged in and attacked them. Clause grabbed both of the boys' hands and ran out of the library./p
p data-p-id="0402cb0e2051332ae1749878eb9eae9d""Guess what we found," Claus said./p
p data-p-id="184826be0ea6837abb5851807f7a9e2b""What?"/p
p data-p-id="fd493584951ba911e3d404070b45b161"Ninten and Claus stepped in the large crater formed by Porky's spider mech. They looked around at the ruins of the building that once stood there. Claus saw a small chair that strangely wasn't broken or even dirty. He walked over and looked it over. He sighed and sat in it. Ninten walked over. "Claus, what's wrong?" Ninten asked./p
p data-p-id="19deaed50d89d7c8ba89fbc50eff7db2""I uh...I helped him do this," he said. Ninten squatted down and put his hand on Claus's shoulder./p
p data-p-id="a93e14fadbb89094d30cfcac7900bf5b""Listen, you've gotta learn from the past."/p
p data-p-id="79b781506aea9be6d41aeb1ddd13702e""Yea but, I've killed so many people...I still don't understand how you can just work with me like this." Ninten smiled and stood up./p
p data-p-id="1e2efc5a6540d685c73271075d961b58""Well, 'cause you're cute, and we know you didn't want to do any of that."/p
p data-p-id="da2426c2c22bbab8ee799b0a3f1161c4""I'm what?" Ninten grabbed Claus's hand./p
p data-p-id="eb37c7a9ab78c4a3953fac9b69f51a82""Come on, we've gotta look around." Ninten pulled Claus off the chair and they walked forward. They heard a small noise from behind them. They looked around and saw that the chair was missing. They looked at each other and slowly walked where the chair once was. Claus moved some of the rubble out of the way and they saw wood. The same type of wood the chair was made of. Claus brought out his beam sword and stabbed the wood. He groaned as he tried to pull the wood out. Ninten grabbed Claus's chest and pulled with him. With a tough tug, they pulled the wood out./p
p data-p-id="148134fe38cdffbf2fd009fef069a27a"Claus picked the sword up and saw the wood was a simple cube. He tapped it and the cube instantly turned into a chair. He kicked the chair off the sword. Ninten walked to the hole and looked in it. "A motion sensor," Ninten said. Claus walked over./p
p data-p-id="bb948eb41c08131f75406f823abd592c""Why?" Claus asked. Ninten reached into the small hole and moved his hand around. He didn't feel anything at first but as he was lifting his hand out he felt a soft fabric. He ripped it out and saw it was a pig mask. Claus grabbed it and scratched the back of his head. He looked in the mask and saw a small tape recorder. He grabbed it and tapped on the play button./p
p data-p-id="8a6c4935b01071789e32dca8fdc5092a""Remember general, the people of Drunshell are smart. Make sure you keep everything on the down-low," Porky's voice came up. Claus looked at Ninten and gulped./p
p data-p-id="59c68ddd88cc04043aefe95c90935f6e""Drunshell is a-" Ninten started./p
p data-p-id="afa6ec02807f53b811796fd6d3ab7457""A Pigmask hideout," Claus finished. They heard a deep voice clearing his throat. Claus looked behind Ninten and saw The Pork Trooper without his mask./p
p data-p-id="7cdd8a5a33fa7b55c8e9273d089f1bbc""Well, Masked Man, I don't think that belongs to you," he said in his deep voice. Claus turned his right hand into an arm cannon and shot at The Pork Trooper. He wasn't expecting it so he fell back. Claus shot up, pocketed the recorder, and grabbed Ninten's hand./p
p data-p-id="343665a2b5f4de34170e91fcc465967c""Come on, we've gotta get to the others."/p
p data-p-id="406c5f34a9a0a309bf0fb836b2541cd0"The four boys got to the end of Drunshell. Lucas looked back and saw the Pig-costumed people walking their way with guns. They suddenly stopped. Claus tugged on Lucas's shirt and they continued to run. They got to the edge of the Extended Ocean. This ocean was what made Drunshell what it was. Ninten hunched over and struggled to breathe. Claus patted his back. It took a few minutes for Ninten to get his breaths under control. He gulped and turned to the others. "I think we figured out the same thing," Ness said./p
p data-p-id="5a2f5482facc08552b63911baab4b0f5""Listen to this," Claus said. He played the tape recorder and Ness and Lucas listened to it. Lucas crossed his arms and thought for a moment./p
p data-p-id="479a917c8dc9da156d06da62b1113653""The poor people..." Lucas said./p
p data-p-id="26375b953ca160237ae08d9ede259b1f""You have any idea what it means?" Ness asked./p
p data-p-id="caef0fdd5e9e0490d4be21eb2db19afc""We believe there could be some type of factory underneath Drunshell. If we can go into this factory we could find the location of New Pork City," Ninten suggested. Lucas looked down and faintly back at Drunshell. He turned away from the town and walked toward the ocean. He sat down and took his shoes off. He put his feet in the water. Ness tilted his head and walked to him./p
p data-p-id="021374620f3c29709dce4129a334bb86""Lucas?" Ness asked. Lucas turned his head to Ness, who seemed genuinely worried for him./p
p data-p-id="0e17d277bb03193fc0c857c498c00797""I've visited Drunshell so much, especially while you were off training, I could've prevented this," Lucas said. Claus sat next to him, bringing his knees into his chest./p
p data-p-id="c1e8871c5d45cabcf45eadc00303fbba""You still never learn huh?" Claus asked. Lucas turned to him. "Not everything is your fault." Lucas sighed and shook his head. Ninten looked down./p
p data-p-id="14b06d416d723ef12242bb6cbc68e29c""Hey, I'm gonna go get some fruit from the forest, k?" Ninten asked. Ness just nodded. Ninten ran toward the nearby forest. Ness grabbed Lucas's hand. Lucas didn't budge his head./p
p data-p-id="9d335a058c2add6ae8dc513a6e35f605""Hey, remember when I got the scar?" Ness asked. Lucas looked at him and nodded. Ness smirked. This was caused because someone made fun of you, right?"/p
p data-p-id="4283908769eeba386f5f7cdec48b148d""Where're you getting at this?" Lucas asked. Ness smiled and leaned closer to Lucas. He quickly pecked his lips and pulled back./p
p data-p-id="6d8086a1f321c6cfd9a5a0f07d9c26de""If someone's willing to risk their beautiful face for you, don't be so down on yourself."/p
p data-p-id="5355fa416c738b5de98283fdeca98f0e""Is this what you call beautiful?" Lucas chuckled./p
p data-p-id="6c4c6d6fc3fb65708a059e057c1bb99b""As if you should be saying that cutie."/p
p data-p-id="4adcebd339ac8f7bf3d1d36b734422c9""You said you'd stop calling me that." Claus chuckled and noticed someone walking their way. He tapped on Lucas's shoulder and he looked back. He knew the man, it was Master Herneldo. He was walking from the direction of Drunshell. Lucas shot up and Ness copied. Claus looked confused for a second. Master Herneldo stopped in front of the boys. He crossed his hands on his can and smiled, showing his yellow teeth./p
p data-p-id="902501a84abb44b8a560f7803b2f5b06""How have you boys been?" Master Herneldo asked. Lucas looked at Claus. Master Herneldo smiled and walked over to him. Claus was still sitting down. "You grew up since I've last seen you."/p
p data-p-id="8d948e32461a51d124a37b91878c0ed2""What do you mean?" Claus asked, standing up./p
p data-p-id="3b99c3bff32e468e7c43925248254bc0""I was a friend of your mother. I trained the boys to be who they are now." Claus smiled./p
p data-p-id="c291e5c5878a2a27abbacd2ecced1d25""Thank you for taking care of Lucas."/p
p data-p-id="4c1ef5f305435cdee41e11ccb0440ac2""Hey, I'm right here," Ness said defensively. Master Herneldo shook his head./p
p data-p-id="1a2ffe4c1b43672b640758b55babc420""There is one thing a boy can't get right..." Master Herneldo walked to Lucas. Master Hereneldo looked through Lucas. Lucas gulped. "How many times have I told you, don't let emotions lead you." Lucas looked down./p
p data-p-id="775923a5149155c37221d18ea72ce826""S-sorry," Lucas said. Master Herneldo shook his head and looked back at Claus./p
p data-p-id="8fa54113d664b47c482c606a962a7926""Could you go out and find Ninten, I need to talk to these boys." Claus nodded and ran toward the forest. Master Herneldo watched as Claus got out of sight. Master Herneldo looked at the boys. "I've been training you for five years...I think it's time you learned the truth."/p
p data-p-id="ba99a173765f055e684552047576cb59""Truth?" Ness asked./p
p data-p-id="62410328d4893396dbd47bef901ebfa8""You boys have a power no one else has, not even poor Hinawa." Lucas looked up. "I can't exactly say what this power is, for it'll ruin the power. I can say, however, it's called Starstorm."/p
p data-p-id="4ab1cdec260cd49579f41c9d7e29e8f3""We don't need to train for that?" Lucas asked. Master Herneldo shook his head./p
p data-p-id="27cd4ba00030bc2c1c636148084b256d""Watch..." Master Herneldo walked back and slammed his staff into the ground. This caused a holographic screen to show up. This screen showed a video. It was Hinawa giving birth to Lucas and Claus. Lucas looked away./p
p data-p-id="a5d3bae07d9b0985e6dc2752e2df05a5""I did not need to see my mom like that."/p
p data-p-id="ed91deb27d3d5e8962b89dc26e707714""You have to watch, just don't look at her privates."/p
p data-p-id="9c958c3a1d04d71472286b17004fbe13""Pretty hard not to when it's the center of the screen, but sure." Lucas turned back. He saw that Claus had already been born. While Lucas was being birthed the video shook and a loud crash caused the screen to disappear. Master Herneldo took the staff and looked at them./p
p data-p-id="cc2058915ca5bfb1d22afc7573dbc451""What was that?" Ness asked./p
p data-p-id="32ea5e1523432222f5992fb7c8082a26""You didn't see it, but Lucas called upon Starstorm. Destroyed the entire town." Lucas looked down. "But not a single injury. What I'm trying to get at, you'll need Starstorm. Try your best to channel it." Lucas and Ness nodded. They waited a few hours before Claus walked out of the forest./p
p data-p-id="5aa15c3b0e1f46dca7b5060f2de189e6""I can't find him," he said. Master Herneldo chuckled and slammed the staff into the ground again. He was surrounded in light and when the light disappeared Ninten stood where Master Herneldo stood./p
p data-p-id="b70eadbcf0aa88e0372304fcf10d4721""Tada, surprise," Ninten chuckled./p
p data-p-id="8c754a8452cfe7a40eb02ce0660f7f23""Wah?" Ness asked./p
p data-p-id="d89d58890017e15d75e2058349463b8c""You were Master Herneldo the whole time?" Lucas asked. Ninten shook his head./p
p data-p-id="975a75a5254267f96a24192708f428f2""Master Herneldo was Ninten the whole time. Before me, it was my dad, then my dad's dad, etc." Claus crossed his arms and walked over to him./p
p data-p-id="eb32aad6adc93b95f60113f9016c199f""You had me looking for nothing," he angrily asked. Ninten chuckled. Claus noticed the surprise in Ness and Lucas. He titled his head. Ness stepped toward Ninten./p
p data-p-id="0d205bcb58db834aa23c5455f5779dd1""So...this entire time we've been training with someone our own age?" Ness asked./p
p data-p-id="89c97b08f7ce92c3eda6be6d90c741f7""Why didn't you just use your, you know, normal appearance."/p
p data-p-id="c8d0f217f6909392179aa0457d0efa83""My dad told me Master Herneldo is something that needs to be passed down. I'll pass it down one day too. It's all in this staff," Ninten said. The staff disappeared and smirked. Claus put his arm around Ninten./p
p data-p-id="cd49a858bdcc453f4a5dedc215ae955a""I hate you, I wasted hours in the creepy forest," Claus said./p
p data-p-id="526f55b8fbcc807bc0694effa8569cb8""Oh come on, just live and learn."/p
p data-p-id="b3c6df3d9ce419b249671ad3bc79ccf1""Yea, don't believe you, that's what I learned." Ness shook his head and turned toward Drunshell./p
p data-p-id="dc7426a78c4ce87c129c3df4c026886e""How're we going to get into the factory?" Ness asked. Ninten walked to the ocean and looked in. Lucas put his shoes in and looked into the ocean with him. He saw some lights coming to the surface./p
p data-p-id="9417a921de71401b1dc87bfff8a73a8d""I called a friend," Ninten said. That's when a submarine popped on the surface of the water. It wasn't normal looking, it was clearly based off of some kind of animal. It was blue and seemed based on a shark. The top door opened and a person, slightly younger than the boys, popped up. He adjusted his red cap and looked at Ninten./p
p data-p-id="31a589121726cf7eeff6489c06dd6e1b""I'm glad you're putting this to good use, Brendan was bitching about this bad boy," he said./p
p data-p-id="86c08018e846bb41cd636759cf69f66b""Red, thanks for coming on short notice," Ninten said. Red just smiled and looked at the other boys./p
p data-p-id="796a51a5e2601c0d8f051bb9a55b0d9b""Come on in, time for a max raid," Red chuckled. Ness looked at Lucas./p
p data-p-id="05f4fd96a8b2d6db9f4a87a883745f48""You know what that is?" he asked./p
p data-p-id="16517a7e25208f3f01eab5e47dea1a32""Not a clue," Lucas responded. Ninten crawled into the submarine and the others followed. It was kind of cramped but they were still sort of comfortable. Red closed the door and sat in the chair. He pressed some buttons and the submarine started back up. Lucas glared out of the window and saw villages underwater. "People live down here?"/p
p data-p-id="90e83826746c04a4182095bcc9ff0861""Yea, there are more people in this world than you'd expect," Red said. "I would know, I've explored nearly every nook and cranny of the world. Which is why I know of this tunnel."/p
p data-p-id="c074ca43176a99f1d61f3512c198f173""A tunnel underneath Drunshell?" Claus asked. Red nodded./p
p data-p-id="0057e85a1819143e4310b538aceffeba""I believe Porky was able to use certain Pokemon to help with the creation of the tunnel, and even the operation of the tunnel." The submarine finally got to the part of the ocean that is located right next to Drunshell. Red positioned the submarine to face the rock wall. "The problem is, they covered the hole up." Red reached over at the chair next to him where his bag sat. He reached in and grabbed a Pokeball. He tapped the small button and a Pokemon came out. "Espeon, can you tell me where the hole is?" The Espeon nodded and closed her eyes. She hummed slightly and jumped./p
p data-p-id="5a00537a6631442c2c046b12c88d6400""Esp, Peon, Esp," she said. Red nodded and returned her into her Pokeball with a quick thanks./p
p data-p-id="710b65523c0009d165ad15df558dc921""You understand her?" Claus asked./p
p data-p-id="9fed1a9917f5798db9092984e1a8ba62""All of you have your powers, mine is understanding any language," Red proudly said. He cleared his throat and reached into his bag./p
p data-p-id="98c6cb61a60490482d07f77d87499669""If you can, can you tell us what this means?" Ness asked, showing Red the book he took from the library. Red took it and shot his hand from the bag with a Pokeball./p
p data-p-id="60267d23a462a68cf015c51be43fdf1f""Oh, it's Pig Latin. 'Come to me' is what it says." Red handed Ness the book and walked to the side of the submarine where a small hole was. This hole didn't break through the submarine, it was kind of like a bowl. Red put the ball in the 'bowl' and pressed a button next to it. The 'bowl' closed the ball and shot out into the water. That's when the ball opened and another Pokemon floated. Red tapped on another button which activated a small speaker. "Blastoise, break a hole in the rocks, slightly over the green rock." Blastoise nodded and floated toward the rocks./p
p data-p-id="10c76f1ae402db226865282e304987bd""Wait, doesn't this mean New Pork City will be stashed with Pigmasks?" Lucas asked. Ninten nodded and looked at Red./p
p data-p-id="db3c7e6a483b679e186c2c520b6578c3""Will you help us at New Pork?" Ninten asked. Red nodded./p
p data-p-id="1611f090186c6cde1e22e57997ead278""I was hired as part of the WPK by Mario, it's my job," Red said./p
p data-p-id="389b997a8b215eae259f5cd28d167bd1""The WPK?" Claus asked./p
p data-p-id="ac86ae2ecf3e468b8363156f58befab5""The World Peace Keepers, a group that tries to keep the peace of this large world. I, or rather Master Herneldo, is a part of it," Ninten answered. A loud explosion came from the rocks and when they looked they saw the tunnel wasn't filling with water. Red smirked and walked to the now covered 'bowl'./p
p data-p-id="1ac3b222994429c12275ceb3208afbc6""There it is," Red said. Blastoise swam back to his Pokeball. He tapped on the button and returned himself. When he did Red pressed the button again and this sucked the ball into the 'bowl'. He waited a few seconds and tapped it a final time to grab the Pokeball. He sat back in the chair and drove it to the tunnel. He entered the strangely water-less tunnel. He climbed up the ladder to the door and opened it. "It's going to be a tight squeeze, but we'll be fine." Red crawled down the submarine and landed on the ground. The others did the same. The four boys brought out their swords and Red grabbed a Pokeball from his bag. They walked carefully through the tunnel and stopped when music started to be heard./p
p data-p-id="68ef90cd9e91bc49c6e543bc3eb81e41""Porky's theme, that egotistical asshole plays it all the time," Claus said./p
p data-p-id="2d447146bea432ad1a96508e4f1a5d1a""That means we're close," Ninten whispered. He put his finger over his lips and nodded to Red. Red tapped the button and a Pokemon came out. Red kneeled./p
p data-p-id="0810ef08a1082306046256a56b600871""Dugtrio, distract those Pigmasks like in Fourside, remember?" Red asked. Dugtrio nodded and dug underground. Red stood up and reached into his bag. He grabbed this ball with extra enthusiasm. He nodded and Ninten and they started walking more down the tunnel. They heard small explosions and lots of chatter. The boys got to a door. When they opened it slightly they saw Pigmasks running toward something. Ninten fully opened the door. Claus's helmet appeared on his head and he smirked at Lucas./p
p data-p-id="d71015e53509da693b3d2e7e6707569c""Ready to be some asses, Lil' bro?" he asked. Lucas smiled./p
p data-p-id="711c815fdf399c81bc73df19917bdaa8""Ready when you are," Lucas said. The five of them ran into the large room. They saw loads of Pigmasks. They were creating more spider mechs. Red threw the ball toward a large horde. That's when a dragon appeared with a loud roar./p
p data-p-id="87608b1f8c24b121679ea185862e6b47""Charizard, flamethrower," Red yelled. Charizard burned all of the Pigmasks around him. Red looked back at the others. "You guys go that way, I've got this part down pat." They nodded and ran in the opposite direction of Red. Each of them sliced Pigmasks that had run toward them. Claus shot a powerful shot at a large horde, killing all of them. Ness and Lucas surrounded their swords with flames and slammed their swords into the ground. This caused the area in front of them to be covered in scorching hot flames. This killed many more. Ninten ran through the flames with no problem. He got to the end of the flames and saw a large horde. He touched the ground and ice spikes shot from the ground impaling all of them. The flames disappeared and Ninten stood up, breaking the ice. He turned back to the others./p
p data-p-id="41c8342eb86334944cb154e303ba0b24""Yea, teamwork," Ninten happily said./p
p data-p-id="4709701becb48fec5ac6ebbb6de476fd""More like brute force," Claus said./p
p data-p-id="cf790dab1767b6292573d19fb2e057d6""What's the difference?" Ninten chuckled and turned around. They saw a large door with a pig snout as its handle. Lucas gulped. Ness noticed the fear in Lucas. Ness grabbed Lucas's hand and walked toward the door. Lucas tried to fight back, but Ness's hands on him were strong./p
p data-p-id="9129cc8e4828ed420d12ebd4255b4224""This is abuse," Lucas annoyingly said./p
p data-p-id="3a173038a4a6aeb8bdbff9f76f05a0e8""It's in the name of love," Ness taunted./p
p data-p-id="3cc44e84686138e9813f03a59e1350bf""Spoken like a true abuser." They stopped at the door. Ness put his ear to the door./p
p data-p-id="9505bcf9a09f67c16d2f3a163db79c2c""Porky, they're killing everyone...right...uh-huh...I understand that but-...ugh, got it, boss," a deep voice sounded. Ness looked at Lucas. Lucas nodded and put his hand on the doorknob. He was able to freeze the lock and quickly used fire to destroy it. Claus ran up and pulled on the door with Ninten. When the door was opened Ness and Lucas pointed their swords into the room. They saw a buff man with a pig mask. He growled and the other two joined./p
p data-p-id="3f95e337e1ee9e15f89f534dec23dc35""You..." Claus said./p
p data-p-id="4220b31aa6791e1294029a2749bba59b""Well, Masked Man, I was hoping you didn't betray Porky. He's gonna hate this," The Pork Trooper said. Claus aimed the arm cannon at him and smirked./p
p data-p-id="249096346a604b709b3fd3c553a0c435""That's if you live." Claus shot at him but the shot did nothing. The Pork Trooper ran forward and nearly slashed Ness and Lucas with his horns. He tried to run forward again but Claus was able to stab his leg. The Pork Trooper fell forward. "Lucas, Ness, fire, use fire." The two boys nodded and shot fire from their swords. The clothes caught on fire and The Pork Trooper started to run around crazily. Ninten ran and stabbed his sword through his back. The Pork Trooper grabbed Ninten's face, expecting him to be burned, but he wasn't. Ninten's sword got surrounded in fire which caused The Pork Trooper to scream louder than ever. Claus walked over and stabbed The Pork Trooper's head, killing him. They looked back at Ness and Lucas who ran into the room. They joined them./p
p data-p-id="e86bcc387f21f356299a90eaae115e8c"They looked around the room. They moved books, figures, and many others but didn't find anything. Lucas crossed his arms and looked around. He saw something stuck in a glass bottle. He tilted his head and walked to the bottle. He noticed the red thing move. Once he saw its face he could tell it was a snake. The snake looked surprised. Lucas looked back at the others and decided to let the snake out. Once let out the snake wrapped himself around Lucas's neck and rubbed his head against Lucas. Lucas giggled and patted its head. Ness walked over. "Well, what do we have here?" Ness asked./p
p data-p-id="05497685b8829de54c1c62c3e0cad46c""This little guy was trapped," Lucas said. Lucas looked at the snake. "Do you know where we'd find New Pork City?" The snake instantly nodded its head. The snake jumped from Lucas's neck and slithered to a globe. He wrapped around the globe and used its tail to point at something. Lucas looked at it. "New Donk City?"/p
p data-p-id="6f00c4733852a8b6ad06069b16b5ef4e""Strange, that's not where it should be," Red suddenly said. The two boys shot around. "Sorry, I was waiting for a bit so I decided to come over." By this point, Claus and Ninten walked over. They didn't bother to ask about the snake./p
p data-p-id="0a87328ffb791b515d3dca3015d138ba""What do you mean that's not where it should be?" Ness asked./p
p data-p-id="8431bb8ec16b843adbcd6780877b6c68""I mean..." Red moved the map around and pointed at a small area on an island. "This is New Donk City..." He moved the globe back to where the snake pointed at. "This isn't." Claus looked at the label. He pushed through and looked at it closer./p
p data-p-id="a15ca5e498a9a1d4afeb0b597c932457""What's wrong?" Ninten asked./p
p data-p-id="34a603494fe29493ed32794174e3a4ea""The way it's written looks weird," Claus said. He rubbed the name with his thumb and looked at his thumb. He saw some black ink on it. He looked at the others and Claus nodded. He continued to rub and most stayed the same. The only thing that changed was D to a P and the N to an R. He stepped back and they all looked at the new name./p
p data-p-id="e5b9653189edb045814b5ce2a974a7c7""New Pork City," Red said. He looked at the others./p
p data-p-id="4ee1261809cee61c2330892c70beccf9""Alrighty, I'll be in the sub," Red said. Claus and Ninten instantly followed him. Lucas looked at the snake. He reached forward and the snake wrapped himself around his right arm. He chuckled and Ness wrapped his arm around Lucas's neck./p
p data-p-id="e1cc90cd9df0a1e356fd0b0dc300a0bb""You want to keep him?" Ness asked. Lucas looked at the snake./p
p data-p-id="672e779e97213940d58ac745ccd788bb""You wanna help?" Lucas asked. The snake smiled and nodded. Lucas looked back at Ness. "You sure?" Ness smiled and rubbed Lucas's neck with his forehead. He kissed it and looked back in Lucas's flustered eyes./p
p data-p-id="2ae424dbad225dd5fbc24343a92aa2ae""I still love how flustered I can make you."/p
p data-p-id="64c87848382b2f40d7a4ffa94333b3ca""I-I'm not flustered...just..."/p
p data-p-id="b0e78603bdbd1250b9f835b6bb987110""Yeah right."/p
p data-p-id="1300066c8c4fdd30af93f0e0be3bbd63""Hurry up lovebirds. You'll have more time to fuck when Porky is dealt with," Ninten yelled. Lucas looked at the snake and clenched his fist. They went through the room and down the large room to the tunnel. They crawled into the submarine and Red started it up./p
p data-p-id="66fcc8a312d1c982cc05d636e90a985e""You know where to go?" Claus asked./p
p data-p-id="84023fc78ae7fcbb4e9dd0c8287e94e4""Yup, like I said, I've been through this entire world. I know where I'm going. But first, I need to call the WPK," Red said. He brought out a small circle that had a cross slash in the lower left of it. He tapped the part where the two slashes intersected and it started to ring. It rang for a few seconds and soon a middle-aged man appeared in front of Red. "Mario, we found New Pork City, I'm sending you the coordinates."/p
p data-p-id="3267d8b30250f3d57cfe4343f4621d99""Thanks, Red, but I can't help but notice people behind you," Mario said. Red showing Mario the four boys. Mario's eyes stopped on Ninten. "Well, Master Herneldo, these the boys you were training?"/p
p data-p-id="dd99f14bd2a4dddb7a8ce5034dfde313""Mario, the name's Ninten, you know that. And yea, I trained Ness and Lucas..." Ninten said as he pointed at Ness and Lucas. He looked at Claus. "Claus was a big help, but he didn't get trained by me." Mario looked at Claus and crossed his arms./p
p data-p-id="a3ab6951038ae5503821872490fac6b9""Masked Man..." Claus looked down and took off his helmet./p
p data-p-id="475b7aa7a05bd9246a6d2d51dafbf680""I don't go by that, the name's Claus...sorry for what I've done," Claus said. Mario crossed his arms./p
p data-p-id="388f8a422d4e0c3b02d3c200e09f5675""Well, I'd like to see you redeem yourself. Anyway, Red..." Red moved the hologram back in front of him. "We'll send some support over. We're kind of spread thin with the threat of Bowser growing worse, but we'll try our best." Red nodded and turned the hologram off. Red looked back at the boys./p
p data-p-id="b85ffaa95d5d9e90e71ad9e55d7fa6e5""Well, it's now or never," Red said. Red drove the submarine through the ocean. They got to the end of the ocean and stepped out. The circle that Red used earlier started to make a clicking noise. Red ignored it and waited in the field with the boys. Lucas was going to ask what they were doing, but he stopped himself when he saw something flying in the air. Red looked up and watched the ship land. The door opened and Red saw Fox in the doorway. He pointed into the ship and Red looked at the boys. "Everyone, get in the Great Fox. Fox'll take us to New Pork City." They nodded and ran toward the Great Fox. Fox closed the door and walked to the chair. He flew up. Red sat in the chair next to him. "You know where to go?"/p
p data-p-id="e53606592b16f0f3d36609e0845a97b1""Yup, we'll be there soon," Fox said. Fox sped up the Great Fox which caused Lucas, who wasn't sitting at the time, to fall on Ness's lap. Ness's face grew lewd./p
p data-p-id="35867742c309ee0bef6b1e5910626521""Lucas, not now, too public," Ness smirked./p
p data-p-id="ce8f6ad2d776b2a71061a965a4c662c8""Screw you," Lucas said, struggling to stand and sit in the seat next to him./p
p data-p-id="f1bd567847e848bc8919bae1bc05d217""That's clearly what you want to do." Lucas chuckled./p
p data-p-id="526b81f025e2ed08e9656ee574ff4a87""Man, you guys really wanna bang," Claus said. Lucas looked at him./p
p data-p-id="338d5ceab6f27df872a3bb2ca8e673e3""Shut up, I have priorities."/p
p data-p-id="02c2bd6367a82d45ab42c7d77931396f""Yea, clearly its sex," Ninten chuckled. Lucas rolled his eyes and looked at the snake. He smirked and scratched its head./p
p data-p-id="f1c10f4f2d511de55bf753b3a1c333db""Lucas, you know what kind of snake that is?" Claus asked. Lucas shook his head. "It's a rope snake, it's very stretchy."/p
p data-p-id="e04b4afb9d4d638a78ee8b38e27931b5""You are?" Lucas asked the snake. The snake nodded and Lucas smirked. He leaned down and whispered something. The snake nodded again. Lucas grabbed the snake's tail and extended it toward Claus, and the snake smacked its head into Claus. Lucas started to laugh as the snake retracted./p
p data-p-id="5bd30262426f7f730daa533169c69499""Ow, you ass." The snake smiled and licked Lucas's cheek. Ness crossed his arms and licked Lucas's other cheek. Lucas looked at him./p
p data-p-id="5865a18420450de4e1ce9243e1035202""You jealous?"/p
p data-p-id="b6f7deb54a20271fcd06149efe790f92""Nah, I just wanted to have an excuse to lick you," Ness laughed. The Great Fox suddenly stopped and Fox entered the small room the boys were in. Red soon joined./p
p data-p-id="4191d1e9c58c243f724411efc913a031""Boys, we're here..." Fox walked to the door and smacked the button. The door lowered. "Let's go, the others are waiting for us. And, try not to get killed, I rather not bury any kids." Fox walked out of the ship. Red nervously chuckled./p
p data-p-id="b94bcf8cdae17627c64a6dbd4fd2c071""He's a bit serious, but he'll protect us. Come on," Red said as he left. The four boys stood up and walked out of the Great Fox and saw they were in a desert. They didn't see New Pork City, or any city. Fox pulled out a small screen and tapped on something/p
p data-p-id="a026e6caeddcef1d41aa9dd0c1f73448""Says it's right here." He put the screen up and looked at everyone. "Look around here, try to find something that looks fishy." Everyone nodded. They started walking around the desert. Ninten saw something odd with the sand. He smacked Claus's chest and pointed at it. The sand was normally colored, but this one part was darker. Claus shot at the darker sand and saw a painting. Claus tilted his head. Red walked over and chuckled./p
p data-p-id="94c2fce21ffef42b514994a33718ce7b""Bowser must've made some deal with Porky..." Red said. He turned around and looked at the others. "Fox, it's through a painting. Boys, come on." They came and Fox examined the painting. He ripped the painting from the sand and looked on the back of it. He saw Bowser's branding logo, with it just being his shell. Fox put it on the ground and jumped in. Red looked back at the others. Red stepped in and Lucas scratched the back of his neck. They jumped in and landed on the ground. They looked up and saw a large purple city. Every turn had a pig snout on it./p
p data-p-id="d3a757ccf83549daad1c7ac5982cac48""The city is huge..." Ness said. Claus pointed at the tallest building./p
p data-p-id="b6ef95262345775113f2c19b3af4780b""Porky is there," Claus said. Claus started to walk forward, but Fox stopped him./p
p data-p-id="88aae8fdabc7294735989d3ce67e6c49""Reinforcements are coming, they now know how to get here. We must wait," Fox said. Claus nodded and sat down on the street. Lucas walked over to Ninten./p
p data-p-id="888ee847805877742c260b1416e25efa""Go talk to him," Lucas said./p
p data-p-id="ee06fc25c465555548446b8112562a97""Why?" Ninten asked. Lucas looked back at Ness who pushed the air. Lucas pushed Ninten toward Claus. Ninten scowled back and sighed. He sat next to Claus. "Hey, big guy, what's on your mind?" Claus looked at the tall building./p
p data-p-id="8b4a6a6a3508ea5efc5256f85de7bb38""Mine, and Lucas's, dad is up there. If I step in there, with you guys, he's going to kill him," Claus said. Ninten thought for a moment./p
p data-p-id="3d44c13a78827f111eb21109c02adaa9""The Pork Tropper didn't know you were working with them."/p
p data-p-id="071aaf8d4ebb78b3698616965f2894bc""Right."/p
p data-p-id="ab4d34c529f46127e1f81c3bc4075d54""So, you can still keep up the act of the Masked Man. He just could've caught us and The Pork Trooper died trying." Claus looked down and his helmet appeared in his hand. He smirked./p
p data-p-id="a376711a701aced7cc1c08772f34c916""Yea, thanks Ninten." He looked at Ninten and saw Ninten's smile. Claus smirked at Ninten's dimple. Claus cleared his throat and scratched the back of his neck. "After all of this, would you like to..."/p
p data-p-id="e85de64f9a4679ee9a5a735e9e3b05b6""Go out?" Claus looked surprised and he gulped./p
p data-p-id="7508b9b56bf9b88af9bf23626a655dae""Yea...go out." Ninten's smile widened and pulled Claus into a hug./p
p data-p-id="41bfbc035bb85200575b793012eeea21""It'd be my honor." Claus smiled and put his helmet on Ninten. He stood up and walked over to Lucas who was currently being kissed by Ness. Claus crossed his arms. Ness backed up with a giggle./p
p data-p-id="8651573f3eb78cc689f044d6c674cf31""There is a time and place for everything, now isn't a time for that." They waited a few more minutes for reinforcements. Red introduced the few people who did come. There was Pit, Mega Man, and Cloud. Kirby soon came in./p
p data-p-id="65e66eb9e5c48e5e6891f48b9202713f""Late as always, you need to speed things up," Cloud said./p
p data-p-id="b66186cf54d1511feec91804b20be58f""I have a part-time job ok, King Dedede would kill me if I didn't complete my shift," Kirby said. He stepped forward and spawned a warp star. He pointed to it and everyone stepped on. The warp star floated up./p
p data-p-id="c3e7b81669858047c76d51cc8a1d3b3f""The tall building, but we need to prevent my dad's death," Claus said. Lucas grew worried./p
p data-p-id="fa9eb2f96e89c0dbce9e1b72b1ca0933""How do you plan on doing that?" Cloud asked./p
p data-p-id="113763b8b80e03f7f6f82a9d56bc9c8a""Land down there, I've got an idea." Kirby crashed the star on the ground and Claus ran to the back of the tower. His helmet was still on Ninten, and it suddenly disappeared. He looked disappointed slightly./p
p data-p-id="be5aaed8ccdc4fcad796f68b78b83197""You liked the helmet?" Ness asked./p
p data-p-id="b2d0a741a5122d499a42e77d40a638d1""It smelled like him," Ninten whined. Lucas wasn't in the joking mood. He looked up at the tower and gulped./p
p data-p-id="7d2f3d1eb4ae87107453447f8b607217""What's wrong kid?" Pit asked./p
p data-p-id="3b94b593adb7fa43fec2f2b6bafd038a""That sick bastard," Lucas said under his breath. Pit was able to hear it and he was thrown off by the surprisingly intimidating voice. Ness grabbed Lucas's hand and rubbed it./p
p data-p-id="b0d1f41acb049e36f363d4f8d012bfce""Lucas, remember," Ness said. Lucas closed his eyes and started some deep breathing. Ness looked at Pit. "Porky killed our families, Lucas's brother and father were spared. Claus is here, but Flint is still up there." Mega Man crossed his arms./p
p data-p-id="9846c2d28466d6015066b460687c4421""Why aren't you as affected as him, it seems your whole family is gone," Mega Man asked. Cloud smacked Mega Man's head./p
p data-p-id="e3b302c382d78ff0c3e1e9e7a5490e10""Don't be inconsiderate," Cloud said. Ness shook his head. He looked at Lucas with a smile. He was still trying to calm himself down./p
p data-p-id="918c934d1479ca5c1961eaa90a5d0151""It's 'cause I have Lucas. When I ever felt down I just looked at him. His determination to save his family, makes it seem like I'm saving my family. The true power of love I guess," Ness chuckled./p
p data-p-id="cb4359139818f0866ee36d23caa745eb""You're so embarrassing," Lucas said. Cloud smirked and patted their backs./p
p data-p-id="43197618ae63da7edbd9b14aa9f4932c""You're strong kids...it'll be an honor to work with you," Cloud said./p
p data-p-id="7073705c47b3229ec5cf3788a796ddaa""Alright, I'm back," Claus said. Claus had his helmet and a lot of chains. "I just need to chain you guys up." Everyone's face went blank./p
p data-p-id="54137dd9498f41a19d8cc288d4724f6b""I ain't into that kinky shit," Fox said. Red put a hand on his shoulder. Ninten walked over and Claus chained up his arms./p
p data-p-id="028c431e651507ffc6937da957c026c6""We better do this alone later," Ninten winked./p
p data-p-id="18de38053762d0aa78a35939f0ae7762""You're lucky I don't have tape, not shut it," Claus said. Eventually, everyone, including Fox, got chained. Claus cleared his voice to bring up his deeper voice. He pulled on the chains and walked into the building. Behind the front counter was a Pigmask. He looked at Claus./p
p data-p-id="5314eaf81c37d2eb3bb5ff15ee28c8c2""Ah, Masked Man, been a bit," he said. Claus nodded./p
p data-p-id="64e6ac325cd5c9b9765223695cb567c4""Let me up to Porky, he needs them." The Pigmask looked at who was chained and his eyes stopped on Cloud./p
p data-p-id="c32b475d07ab446147cb76f5205ac8e3""Porky has been at war with these fuckers for far too long..." the Pigmask tapped a button and a nearby elevator opened. "Porky will be waiting." Claus nodded and dragged them toward the elevator. Cloud glared at the Pigmask. Claus closed the door and they went up. They made it to the top floor and the door opened. Claus looked at everyone./p
p data-p-id="28209ce5f55266b3ca2097f4b5f4a583""You guys got your way to leave the chains?" Claus asked. Everyone nodded and Claus smirked. "Good, 'cause Porky will need all of us." They left the elevator and through the hall, and made it to a large pig snout door. Claus knocked on it and a Pigmask opened the door. Mega Man recognized the physique./p
p data-p-id="b32e364999f8106170db9abd368e8dca""Guys, it's Samus," Mega Man whispered./p
p data-p-id="4fde79948558033cd1f989e40fcda3ec""Yes? Oh, Masked Man, come in," she said. Claus walked in and looked at Porky, who was looking out of the window. Claus cleared his throat./p
p data-p-id="94063ac9ca61f007896fe01476455643""Porky!" Porky turned around and looked at Claus./p
p data-p-id="8fd972dffb84d2e789e0cfd527a2108d""You bastard..." Porky said./p
p data-p-id="abff4a46ad44c90173fbbc5a7e00d359""Wah..."/p
p data-p-id="4b4c49ccd31a3a3de98f0b4a3f3d89f8""You killed my Pork Trooper, my Pigmasks, and you dare stand in front of me?" Samus slammed the door. Claus growled and Cloud broke through the chains. He ran toward Porky, but Porky just shot a laser at him. Everyone broke out of the chains, all but Ness and Lucas. Ness and Lucas ran toward Samus, while chained up. They wrapped the chain between them around her neck and slammed it down. This broke the chains and put her unconscious. Mega Man shot toward Pokry, but Porky was able to absorb it. The four boys brought out their swords and ran toward Porky. Ness jumped on the flat side of Lucas's sword and he threw Ness. Ninten and Claus did the same. Claus and Ness stabbed their swords into the glass, but Porky ripped them away and tossed them. This kept him distracted enough for Pit to crash his sword into the glass. Red tossed Blastoise out and Blastoise caused a Whirlpool of water to surround Porky. Porky shot lasers on the ground, destroying the water and shooting everyone back. The legs of the mech folded inward and the mech hovered up. He shot more lasers and a light came from underneath it. The light caught Kirby and made him float up. Mega Man shot up at Kirby who inhaled the shot and spat it back up the light. This caused Porky to shoot up and crash into the roof. He fell down. Cloud ran in and stabbed the glass with his sword. Claus exploded the glass with a shot, shooting Porky from the seat. Lucas walked to him. Lucas brought out his sword, but Porky kicked Lucas's foot. Lucas fell back and Porky shot up. He grabbed Lucas's neck and his sword. Porky pointed the sword at Lucas's side. "Make a single move, and I'll kill him." Ness clenched his fist./p
p data-p-id="ac9790a5fde1a0aa771aa42252d28991""YOU BASTARD, LET HIM GO-" Ness yelled. NInten grabbed him./p
p data-p-id="dac2cd6d69ea272df2b3837f01fc7718""Don't let emotions-"/p
p data-p-id="1a6da1b6a8d1273e3fb1de1123c3a410""NO FUCK OFF, THIS BITCH WON'T TOUCH MY LUCAS!" Ness ripped his arm from Ninten and walked toward Porky, who sped up his walk backward toward the window. Claus stepped in front of him./p
p data-p-id="1bbf8dcf350d5dc166473ac25eb6145b""Ness, calm down," Claus said./p
p data-p-id="634720e13ea7dfe47ded8b18417fc72e""NO, EVERYTHING WAS TAKEN FROM ME, IF THIS FAT BASTARD TAKE MY LUCAS AWAY, I SWEAR ON EVERYTHING EVERYONE IS GOING TO REGRET IT." Porky chuckled. Claus turned around. Porky pushed the sword into Lucas's gut, causing him to scream. Porky looked at Lucas./p
p data-p-id="0c87be15e2598651aaaae6c8aac06e51""You wanna see your dad dontcha? Well, you'll be able to see him, him and your mom," Porky said as he crashed through the window. Ness ran to the window and held his hand toward them./p
p data-p-id="9efe62f444c0213535144099787bcdc6""Lucas..." Claus looked down and fell to his knees./p
p data-p-id="db73a84c622805e4c8d991179cee1404""Dad...Lucas," he said quietly. Kirby ran toward the hole and pointed down. His warp star went down, but Porky kicked it away. Lucas started to go unconscious, but he was kicked into pain when Porky shoved the sword deeper in. Lucas felt nauseous, but looked up and saw Ness. Lucas knew he was close to crashing into the ground. He smiled as he looked at Porky./p
p data-p-id="2e3ce7b8329141b3109c351a48d41ad2""Porky...thank you..." Lucas said./p
p data-p-id="422ecc547142b0af0b6087ba287c719c""Huh?" Porky questioned./p
p data-p-id="82c45a3d990419c9f08b2a8f457326da""I get to see what Ness buried deep down...that's all I've ever wanted." Lucas closed his eyes and shoved the sword deeper, but Lucas didn't scream. Porky saw the ground, so he closed his eyes. He noticed he didn't crash into it, he opened his eyes and looked at the ground. They were floating. Porky noticed a rainbow aura around Lucas. They quickly shot up into the air. Ness looked up./p
p data-p-id="a746de4d30da5ee7073cab20abbef1b3""Lucas...?" Ness asked. Claus looked back and Ninten helped him stand. They walked over. Ninten smirked. They stopped slightly above the tower. Lucas opened his eyes. In his eyes were balls with a cross slash in the lower left. Lucas grabbed Porky's hand and Porky felt an odd amount of strength./p
p data-p-id="759cae24d5922711c09acf6204786a83""I don't exactly want to see Ness cry, so there's just one thing I want to say. Lucas held Porky off and spat into Porky's face. "Fuck off." Lucas threw Porky down and Lucas held up his arm. When he moved his hand down large asteroids started to shoot down. They were faster than Porky so they crashed into him causing him to cough up blood. He soon crashed into the floor, splattering like a bug./p
p data-p-id="708872989a3b944c54e729e653e4201e""Starstorm..." Ninten said. Lucas stopped floating and started to fall. He looked at Ness as he passed, and he formed a small heart with his hands./p
p data-p-id="d160ab98e90e8ac694682f3847358a8a""Lucas..." Ness ran and jumped out. He was able to quickly grab Lucas into a hug. "If you're gonna die, we're both gonna do it."/p
p data-p-id="8272a6ff97f8cc9b09a389badd77c885""Copycat," Lucas smiled. They closed their eyes but noticed rather than fall they seemed to bounce. They opened their eyes and saw they were just floating in the air. They looked up and saw that the rope snake bit into Lucas's leg. He started to retract, lifting them up. Lucas chuckled. "Well then..." he looked at Ness. "Looks like we won't die just yet." Ness just hugged him tighter./p
p data-p-id="8a520ff43a0814cef34a066b75fa80cb""I hate you so much."/p
p data-p-id="37c3d27b056ffb1d6dfcfe858679b2e7""I love you too." The snake pulled them into the building and the second Ness let go of Lucas, Claus pulled him into a hug./p
p data-p-id="373a2f431be81694f19749f08c5f7fe4""I'm sorry Lucas," Claus pleaded./p
p data-p-id="1cb007edd6ae34f43326902c3d3c6c88""About what?"/p
p data-p-id="d7eab8822783309a67debc1faf6f76c8""Dad, he's dead because of me." Lucas faintly pushed Claus back and smiled./p
p data-p-id="d40e55a5fd57037895e3b9a77b3ccded""You're here, I'm here...that's what dad would want," Lucas said. He put up his hand and Claus took it. They stood up. Ninten walked over. "Guess what, I didn't let emotions lead me." Ninten chuckled./p
p data-p-id="80e32e7ac9d9e2853e1430909bc5e0a0""I know, but it looks like I'll need to teach someone else," Ninten said as he looked at Ness./p
p data-p-id="4f88c7477bbe0efd0cacccf3166a5c82""Lucas?" Cloud asked. Ninten walked away and Cloud stepped forward. He crossed his arms and had a faint smile. "That move you did, it was a final smash."/p
p data-p-id="3e5fbdc37197dbe3ac25157bcc8e3cbe""It was?" Lucas asked./p
p data-p-id="d63f8260f7f44cc98072b9fed8386d54""The smash ball in your eyes showed that. There's someone I'd like to introduce you to." Lucas tilted his head./p
p data-p-id="93371491e1baa3c4ccb1764c643f83b1"After a lot of transportation, they stopped in front of a large building. Ness and Lucas gawked at it. Cloud stepped to the light blue and golden door. He opened it. Everyone else but the four boys stepped in. "Welcome to Smash Hall," Ninten smirked and led the four boys toward it. They saw twelve pictures in the main hall. One of them was Mario, and another looked like Samus. They soon entered a large circular hall. There were eight seats, all filled up. Cloud, and all the others-excluding Kirby and Fox, kneeled. Ninten, Claus, and Lucas looked confused. Mario jumped from her chair and walked down the various steps./p
p data-p-id="fba1a238c0d574c1898fd3cbf58f25ba""Boys?" Mario asked. The three of them looked at him. "We're the eight elites." He introduced the other elites. Donkey Kong, Link, Samus-one that fights in her suit and not her zero suit, Yoshi, Kirby, Fox, and Pikachu. "Ness and Lucas, could we speak?" Cloud and the others left the room. Mario walked to the boys. "You were the ones trained by Ninten, right?"/p
p data-p-id="2ebd6510d9ccca8e6de1b5d438a4a884""Y-yes, sir," they said./p
p data-p-id="95e8331c23d9145f12d696c58184013c""That surely is clear by your skills and speech. Well, Ninten has stated he wanted to open a self-defense business and is resigning from his place in the WPK. Zero Suit Samus is also resigning, she needs to deal with mental issues from being mind-controlled."/p
p data-p-id="d4d231908c34db20f1b76a14e8ada0b6""Right."/p
p data-p-id="115830d298e92a5f8579295f079f4c07""I've talked to the other elites, and we came up with an offer." Mario looked around at the members, all of whom giving a grin and nodded. Even Fox did it. Mario looked back at the boys. "Would you like to join the WPK? We could use the power of the Starstorm from both of you." Lucas looked at Ness and grinned./p
p data-p-id="97c2c74df5fee56374bca01dc1e54066""We'll do it," Ness said./p
p data-p-id="f2cfd02b82a4b9f7b936f0a79d5dbfa5""What's gonna happen to Claus?" Lucas asked./p
p data-p-id="df72dc8a46169dee7daed78756751f25""Don't worry about him. He seems like he's going to work with Ninten. We won't punish him for what he's done," Mario said. Lucas let out a breath of relief. Mario smiled and walked back to his seat. "Well, I usually don't do this, but-ROB, bring in the other two boys." A ROB nodded and left the room. He soon came back with Claus and Ninten. "Even though only two of you are going to be full members of the WPK, I'd like you four to go out on a mission."/p
p data-p-id="7462305559725ecdf785e037f24cd119""What mission?" Claus asked as he put on his helmet./p
p data-p-id="482df7331b7b9fcba175284349ff0391""We've been at war with Bowser for quite some time, and they are in desperate need of reinforcements. You guys seem to be the best fit, for Bowser had done his research on all of us, but not you," Link said. The four of them looked at each other. They smiled and looked at the elites./p
p data-p-id="1549e17b78779480761ff1bb7c0381cd""We'll do it," the four of them said. Smaus chuckled and stepped down. She stopped in front of them./p
p data-p-id="1f5759a4b560ec7c662e2b25397729f0""I'll be outside, look for my ship, it's easy to spot," Samus said. Lucas put his hand between the four of them. Ness put him on top of Lucas's and then Claus and Ninten. They all looked at each other./p
p data-p-id="b4a92fb25f290abb19c421fd4c057727""PK BOYS," they yelled as they shot their hands up. They exited the room on a mission, a mission to stay together and defend everyone./p
