Chapter Eight: Boing

Ness and Paula were at the hotel in Summers, waiting for Jeff who was in the bathroom, sick from the trip over. Jeff came out staggering, "I did say slower, did I not?"

Ness replied in a playful answer, "I guess you get teleportation sickness"

"Very funny, Ness…oohhhh man! I don't feel so hot," Jeff rushed back into the bathroom.

Ness talked to Paula, "Maybe next time we should try PSI Teleport instead of Beta. Jeff might not get sick as easily."

From out of thin air came Poo, "I hope I am not late?"

Paula replied, "Right on time."

Ness thought to himself Just in time for Jeff's teleportation sickness.

Jeff emerged from the bathroom once more, "Is it just me, or am I seeing triple?"

Poo bowed to Jeff, "It is so nice to see you again," he bowed to Ness and Paula, "all of you. So where do we go from here?"

Ness spoke out, "I know exactly where we should hold this get together. Everyone, hang on." They followed Ness outside to where a long stretch of boardwalk made a good running distance for PSI Teleport. They began to all run with tremendous speed. And before they ran out of boardwalk, they had vanished.

In a secluded location where few have traveled, lay a cavernous mountain that surrounded and protected a small village. Not normal people lived here. These creatures as it were resembled little pink puffballs with large round noses. They spoke differently from anybody and because of this were hard to translate. The people of this place were called Mr. Saturn. Ness and company had been there before, and saved their village. They were friendly people, and gave free room and board to any weary travelers who stopped by. The Mr. Saturn had gone about their normal business after Ness and his friends had defeated Giygas. From out of nowhere came Ness, Paula, Jeff, and Poo. A Mr. Saturn walked up to Ness with excitement, "|30Y |\|355, |301|\|G. Y0U |-|4\/3 C4/\/\3, |301|\|G." {Yes, this is how the Mr. Saturn speak in Earthbound. It's a little weird at first, but you get use to it if you want to beat the game.}

Paula turned to Ness, "What a great spot for our get together! Awesome idea, Ness."

Jeff held his stomach, "Feeling a little queasy."

Another Mr. Saturn spoke, "|30Y \/\/1T|-| G|_45535 /\/\4Y U53 /\/\0T3|_. |301|\|G |301|\|G!"

Poo stared at him in a daze, "It has been a year yet I cannot understand a word he speaks."

"He said Jeff can use their motel if he wants to rest a bit," said Paula.

"Don't forget the |301|\|G |301|\|G part, Paula," replied Ness imitating the Mr. Saturn.

"What does it translate too, Paula," inquired Poo.

Paula answered, "It means…|301|\|G |301|\|G." They all began to laugh, except for Jeff who staggered toward the motel.

A Mr. Saturn waited at the counter inside, "|30Y \/\/1T|-| G|_45535 5|_33P T0 \/\/15|-|, |301|\|G?"

A few hours later, Jeff got up feeling rather refreshed. A Mr. Saturn awaited for him, "5|_33P Y0U 3|\|J0Y |30Y \/\/1T|-| G|_45535, |301|\|G." Jeff arose and exited the motel. Outside, he saw a blanket laid out with lots of food and drinks. He did not see Ness, Paula, and Poo. After a quick look around, he spotted them at the top of a cliff, near one of the Mr. Saturn's houses. He went in search of the correct tunnel to the top.

Ness, Paula, and Poo had been invited by one of the Mr. Saturn to enjoy one of the many hot spring pools that are in the village. Ness and Paula brought their bathing suits along, but Poo had none. He just took off his sandals and soaked his feet in the warm, soothing water. Ness leaned his head back against a rock, "I had almost forgotten how refreshing the springs are here."

Paula began to shut her eyes, "It's so peaceful around here. I'm glad our adventures took us to this village."

Poo looked at his reflection in the pool as he made rings of water with his feet, "I should come here often for relaxation. Being a prince is more difficult than I imagined. The hot waters here sooth the mind for better concentration."

Ness picked his head up and looked toward Poo, "Are you still practicing PSI?"

Poo nodded, "Yes I am. I've also been training in new fighting techniques and perfecting some old ones."

Coming near the house walked a smiling Jeff, fully refreshed and happy to be back to the party. Paula was the first to notice him. She got up and waved, "Hi, Jeff. It looks like your feeling better."

Jeff said, "Yes I am, thank you." Ness and Poo had now gotten up. Poo dried his feet and retied his sandals.

Ness dried off as he walked over to Paula and Jeff, "Good to see you up and about. Hope your hungry for a picnic, cause we got lots of good stuff."

Jeff rubbed his stomach, "I think my stomach agrees to your gesture."

Poo finished with his sandals and walked toward the group, "I am famished. I cannot wait."

After a large meal, everyone was full and fully recharged. They stood up. Ness picked up his backpack and swung it around his shoulder, "We should get going. We still have lots to do."

Paula agreed, "Yeah, I get to choose the next place, and I know exactly where we're going."

They were interrupted by a Mr. Saturn who ran up to Ness, "|30Y |\|355, \/0RT3X 15 0P3|\|3|) 4|\||) \/\/13R|) T|-|1|\|G5 C0/\/\3, |301|\|G!" They looked up at the top of the mountain and sure enough a vortex was there and floating in front of it are two large hands.

The one on the right spoke, "That's the one! The boy with the striped tee shirt."

"Let's get him," said the hand on the left. They floated down toward Ness and his friends, in mid attack, a strange sound was heard. The one on the left spoke, "What is that? What can that noise be?"

Ness smiled, and jumped into the air, "Yay!"

The Master Hand was confused, "Why are you happy? We're about to crush you and drag you to your doom. You should be cowering in fear."

From the sky came something spinning. When the hit the ground it stopped spinning and a man faced them all. He smiles and pulls out a camera, "Pictures taken instantaneously. Everybody smile. Say `Fuzzy Pickles. `" Ness smiled and gave the camera the thumbs up. Paula, Jeff and Poo took their normal stances.

The two hands looked at each other, "Fuzzy Pickles?!?!?"

The flash went off and the man put his camera away, "Great, this will always bring back the fondest of memories." He started to spin and disappeared into the sky. The hands stared in a daze, "Fuzzy Pickles?!?!?" Then they went into battle animation and the battle screen came up. Master Hand appears. Crazy hand appears. Ness was first to attack. Ness uses PSI Rockin'. The whole screen starts to flash and explode as Ness' personal PSI deals 90 damage both hands. Paula is up next. Paula uses prayer It worked on Giygas, it just might work on them. Paula's prayers are heard, and everyone gains full PSI. Now it's Jeff's turn to attack. Jeff uses bottle cap rocket. WHROOSH! Crazy Hand takes 30 damage. Poo's turn to attack.

Ness turned to Poo, "We need to beat them Poo. Do something." Poo pulls out Bag of Dragonite and sprinkles it ion himself. Poo transforms into a large dragon. Poo deals 150 damage to both hands. Master Hand and Crazy Hand attack. Sleep clap. Paula, Jeff, and Poo take 50 damage and are asleep. "Isn't this just great, now I have to do the work until they wake up." Ness attacks with the homerun bat. SSMMAASSSHHH!!! The Master hand takes 600 damage. The Master Hand is out. The Crazy Hand summons a laser swarm. Ness is drained of half his PSI and takes 40 damage. Crazy hand uses slap. SSMMAASSSHHH!!! Ness receives 200 damage. Ness faints. Ness loses the battle.

Outside the battle animation screen, the Crazy Hand summons a heart container for the Master Hand. It floats gently down and the Master Hand recovered his entire HP back. He got up and grabbed Ness, who lay unconscious on the ground, and both hands exited the world through the vortex. Paula, Jeff, and Poo were slowly starting to awaken. Paula looked around the Mr. Saturn's village, "Ness???"
