It is 199X. Giygas, the universal cosmic destroyer is dead. Defeated at the hands of four chosen heroes. Ness, Paula, Jeff and Poo have returned to their homes. The world unaware of the past danger or of its heroes. However, the danger is not yet past. A new power is slowly growing. Our heroes destinies is not yet over…

Dalaam

The palace was finally calm once again. The people of Dalaam had stayed up late at the palace celebrating the defeat of Giygas. The main attraction of the celebration was Prince Poo. He was an instrumental player in the defeat of Giygas. He was alone in his room at last enjoying a peaceful rest.

The Master smiled as he watched Poo slumber. Suddenly he felt a chill pass over him. He turned and headed for the throne room. He looked around to make sure nobody was watching. He walked behind the throne and passed through and invisible barrier.

He had walked into a large dark room, which held only one source of light. In the middle of the room a large, crystal sphere spun in mid-air. The Master walked closer to the sphere and peered closer into it. In the middle a dark blot marred the perfection of the sphere.

The Master walked back from the sphere.

"It is not over yet." he thought to himself.

Ness slumbered peacefully. Suddenly he began to dream. He was standing at the deathbed of Giygas. He saw Giygas as he had before. Melting and distorting under the prayers of many friends. Giygas finally died and imploded destroying the robot forms.

Ness watched as Giygas disappeared into nothingness. When Giygas finally disappeared a small object was left in his place. The object was shaped like a seed. It emitted a strange dark light. The light engulfed Ness and he suddenly woke.

Outside his window a yellow light flickered outside. Ness ran to the window and looked outside. On the lawn below stood a Starman. He was leaning against a tree in Ness's lawn. He was casting PSI Fire W on Ness's house.

Ness grabbed his baseball bat and ran downstairs. He ran outside in his pajamas and started to hit the Starman. The Starman collapsed after several hits. Ness quickly put out the fire with a new power Poo had taught him, PSI Storm B. Ness looked at the Starman on the ground. This one must have been weak because it usually took a little more power to take them down.

"What are you doing here?" Ness asked.

"I must destroy Ness." a raspy cybernetic voice replied.

"Why must you destroy Ness?" Ness asked.

"The Seed of Giygas must live." the Starman said.

"What is the Seed of Giygas?" Ness asked. The Starman collapsed and disappeared from existence. A light turned on upstairs. Ness went back into the house to explain what had happened.

In the morning Ness prepared to go to Twoson. He was concerned about Paula. He ate some pizza and kissed his mother goodbye. He measured up the distance he would need for teleportation outside. He ran and suddenly disappeared out of sight.

When he appeared in Twoson it was a completely different place. The streets were completely empty. The sky above covered with dark clouds. Street lamps provided the only light. Ness began to walk down the dark streets of Twoson and into a new adventure.
