Sorry it took me so long to update. I recently moved out of state last month and was only able to get internet a few days ago. Updates will be back to schedule every two weeks.

Ness walked back to the throne room after making sure their commander was doing okay. He could tell that he made the right choice choosing him instead of his brother. The Apple of Enlightenment had shown him the path that would have happened if he turned the boy into a chimera. The bad thing was even the Apple had no idea where the Dark Dragon needles were. He tried to look into the future to see if they'll prevail, but the future was blank. Which meant that things could go either way. That's why he had to make sure that he and Porky don't fail. When he arrived at the throne room he sat down on his throne.

Porky looked at Ness and could see the smile on his face. He thought that they agreed that when they found someone to be the commander that they'll turn them into a chimera so that the other chimera's would feel more calm around them. However he knew to trust his friend's decision. "So how's he doing?"

Ness chuckled. "Just perfect. With my power inside of him there's no way his brother or anyone else can stand in his way."

"Do you think his brother will be a problem?"

Ness nodded his head. "Yes, he will. However I propose we take over the village and put everyone in lock down. We can tell them that several of our chimera's went haywire and that keeping them inside their village is for their safety. Just until we discover the locations of the needles."

"Do you really think that the villagers would listen to us after the death of one of their own?"

Ness grinned. Porky didn't seem to realize how easy it is to control people. Give people false hope and they'll do anything you say. He had discovered that the people on this island weren't even from this time line. They were from the time where Giygas had destroyed the world and were the last survivors from that time. They came from a white ship that had the ability to travel through time. The people's memories were then sealed inside the Hummingbird Egg. If the Hummingbird Egg could seal away memories then it could manipulate minds too. That's why he will be the one to retrieve the Hummingbird Egg and not the Pigmasks.

"Trust me Porky. Once we get the Hummingbird Egg then that will be very easy. Oh and change of plans. I'll be the one to get the Hummingbird Egg."

"Why?"

"Simple. The people know that it was people in pig costumes who created the chimeras. However they don't know me. I can play nice and get them to believe everything I say. Besides as trustworthy as Fassad is, he tends to lose his cool under pressure. No doubt he'll lose his cool if things go south. With me dealing with this nothing will go wrong."

The Commander slowly opened his eyes as he stretched himself. He felt a lot better then he did before. He swung his legs over the side of the bed placing his bare feet on the ground and wiggling his toes. He looked at the clock and saw that it was 5:00pm. Just then his bedroom door opened and a large bulky man in a pig costume walked in carrying a plate of food. The Commander looked this man over and saw that his mask had horns on it.

"I don't remember seeing you before, who are you?"

The bulky man put the food on a standing tray and placed it in front of the Commander.

"I'm just simply known as the Fierce Pork Trooper, but you can just call me Pork Trooper."

The Commander nodded his head as he began digging into his food. "I was expecting a maid to bring me food. Not someone like you."

Pork Trooper laughed. "Yeah, I wasn't expecting food delivery to be part of my job description. However our maid robot Miss Marshmallow is going through some upgrades at the moment. Besides King Ness ordered me to get to know you better."

The Commander didn't reply as he continued to eat his dinner. As soon as he was finished he pushed the tray aside. "That's fine by me. Now where is Master Ness? I have some questions about what exactly he did to me."

Pork Trooper was worried for a second. He wondered if the Commander was somehow fighting off the mind control. "What kind of questions?"

"Well for starters, why is my right arm red and my fingers huge? What powers did I gain? Why don't I feel human anymore? Those questions."

Pork Trooper sighed in relief. "Well King Ness isn't here right now. He's going to Osohe Castle to retrieve the Hummingbird Egg. He'll be back later."

The Commander frowned. "Oh well I guess I'll go see if Master Porky needs anything from me."

"Okay your clothes are should be here any second. We measured your body when Ness found you so we know your size."

Just then the door opened and a Pigmask walked in carrying a gray shirt, black jacket, orange sweatpants, a gray mask, blue boxers and black combat boots. He handed it to the Commander before walking away.

The Commander glared at Pork Trooper. "Do you mind?"

Pork Trooper nodded his head. "My apologizes sir. I have other matters to attend to." with that said the Pork Trooper left.

The Commander took off his bloodied clothes and got dressed before leaving his room.

Ness arrived at Osohe Castle and looked up at the closed drawbridge. He flew up and grabbed the drawbridge from the top and yanked it causing it to fall down.

"You know there is a turn wheel that lowers the bridge."

Ness turned around to see a man standing there. By the looks of it he was in his mid twenties at least and didn't look to threatening. Putting on his nice guy act he shrugged his shoulders. "I like to live on the edge. Lowering the drawbridge would have been too boring. Anyway what are you doing here?"

"I should be asking you that. As a matter of fact I've never seen you in Tazmily Village before."

"Oh I'm not from this island. I came from some place far away and only arrived here recently. Names Ness."

"My name is Duster. Well I'm here to get a certain item that my father told me to get. I don't know what it is but I'll find it. I am a thief after all."

Ness had a feeling that Duster was after the Hummingbird Egg, but doesn't realize it yet. He knows where the Hummingbird Egg is he just didn't expect someone else to be looking for it this soon. "Hey, how about I help you? I came here to explore and you came here to get something."

Duster nodded his head. "Sure I guess I can use some help."

Ness smiled. "Great let's go."

Ness and Duster traveled throughout Osohe Castle. They came across angry ghosts, spiders, walking suits of armor and other things. Ness made sure to hold back his strength so that Duster didn't see how strong he truly was. Soon enough they came across a ghost musician. After defeating it they arrived at a room with a shiny vase. Duster believing to have found what he wanted said goodbye to Ness and left.

Ness smirked as he walked over to the mouth stone wall. He saw a painting of what looked like dance moves. He had a feeling that these dance moves opened the door, but there was no way in hell he was going to lower himself to do some twerking. Seriously who the fuck even designed these codes anyway? Instead of doing that he grabbed the mouth part and forced it open. He then went inside.

After doing some traveling Ness smirked as he came across one of the needles. As much as he wanted to get the Commander here now, it wasn't time yet. Fassad said he'd let them know when the time has come. After a couple of rooms he reached where the Hummingbird Egg was. He picked it up only for the floor to give away. Instead of falling he used his powers to stay floating in the air. Grinning he teleported away as Duster, Wess and Kumatora arrived only to find out they were too late and the Hummingbird Egg had been stolen.
