Chapter 29: Enter Ness the boy prodigy!

He was walking slowly back home. He wore a red cap that faced forwards, a purple and yellow striped shirt, a baggy pair of jean shorts, and a knapsack on his back. Life for him had been boring during the previous few months, it was always the same old thing wake up, eat, go to school, come home from school, do homework, eat, watch what ever was on the TV most likely being some crappy teen sitcom or the news the major pains of not having cable, and then finally go to sleep once again in order to do it all over again the next day five times a week. He secretly craved an adventure but none had come. He walked into his modern house, which was modestly furnished and kicked off his shoes.

"Ness how was your day at school?" his mother asked.

"Boring," He sighed trying his best to avoid a conversation. "When's dinner?"

"Same time as always 6 pm sharp!"

Ness sighed walking through the house to the stairs leading upstairs. He entered his room at the end of the hallway and made his way towards the desk that was in the corner of the room. He took off his knapsack and placed it on the table and opened it pulling out several binders and books, placing them neatly on the table. His eyes however focused on a photograph. In the photo there were four kids standing together, three boys and one girl.

He looked at it and stared himself for several seconds until looking at the others. One by one they stopped talking to him. Poo was first, he began to train a lot harder and eventually they stopped talking, plus Poo had to learn how to rule his kingdom. Then Jeff was next. He was studying hard in order to become a scientist, and eventually forgot about Ness. Finally there was Paula who suddenly got ill several weeks ago. Ness remembered the day perfectly well. At night there was a meteor shower that lit up the whole town. The next day Paula was hospitalized.

Ness just faced the picture downwards. It reminded him of happier days. Even though the world was at stake in his constant quest to defeat Giygas he and his friends could never stop smiling. Deep down he craved for another adventure and often thought about running away. But he was under constant surveillance by mysterious people. He knew who they were as he had read their minds. They worked for the government and they feared the boy who brought down Giygas.

He always thought that perhaps tomorrow might be different and a new adventure might start. But it always turned out to be the same old boring thing...

CRASH!

Ness woke with a start. The ground was shaking and his heart was pounding he stepped out of bed in his blue and white striped pajamas and slipped his feet into bunny slippers. He walked over to the window and stared out it. Off in the distance he could see the city lighting up, and hear the police sirens coming closer. "This is it!" he thought, "I can escape in the confusion!" A police car stopped in front of the house.

"Attention, please evacuate the area!" A police officer's voice blared over the megaphone.

Quickly Ness changed into his normal everyday clothing. He quickly ran downstairs and snuck out through the back door. His curiosity getting the best of him he peeked around the house to see that his mother and sister had gotten out safely. He breathed a sigh of relief and ran off into the forest behind his house.

Unknown to Ness was that he was spotted by one of several government agents.

Ness stopped running and sat down in front of a tree. "And now my new adventure begins." He said to himself proudly. He suddenly turned and realized that he had been followed. Quickly he got up off of the ground and began to run down the forest path using his PSI to run faster than normal. He began to try and figure out where each of them were and to his surprise they were catching up quickly.

Ness focused his PSI to his ears so he could hear those who were following him. "Shoot first, ask questions later!" One of them said cocking a gun.

Someone jumped in front of Ness aiming the gun at the boy's head. Ness however was able to quickly react and used his baseball bat to hit the crotch of the person. He screamed out in pain and fell down. Ness continued to run through the trees until he was trapped at a cliff.

"Freeze Ness!" A voice shouted. "Any resistance will be deemed as hostile behavior and we will be forced to take action!" Ness walked forwards and was surrounded by several people. Instantly he was handcuffed and frisked, then he was escorted to a black van.

"The government needs a weapon like you," A man said looking at Ness. In his hand was a syringe. In his other hand was a mechanical headband. "Place this headband on him!" He ordered as he tossed it at a subordinate. "This headband will only neutralize your PSI and record your brain waves." Ness suddenly felt faint and fell down onto the ground. "Your body has relied on your PSI for so long you can't move with out it." The man grabbed Ness's arm and sterilized it. He then put the needle into the vein and took out some blood. "This will be of great use in the government project of EON6!" the man announced handing off the syringe to someone who entered the back of the black van. The van then drove off leaving them there alone. "But we're sorry to announce that you now know too much and we must kill you!" he brought out a gun and pointed it at Ness's head. "Good bye!"

Before the bullet was fired a yellow beam of light appeared cutting through the gun and knocking every one of the government agents unconscious.

"Samus trace them!" A voice shouted.

"Its too late," Samus shouted back.

"Forget that, we have to get this stupid headband off cupcake!"

With that Ness fainted.

Ness awoke on a cold metal surface. His vision was blurred and all he could see was the metal headband lying next to him.

"Think they will come back for him?" A voice asked. "Perhaps we should distance ourselves."

"Most likely," Another responded "But since we are all pretty much wanted by the government it won't really make a difference."

"He's awake." Someone said. Everyone went silent and stared at Ness who was now sitting up. "I think we should take this slowly since he might be shocked by some of our appearances. This place is far too normal."

"I've seen walking street signs along with a bunch of other abnormal things, I'm positive I can take the shock." Ness protested.

"Very well!" Lights suddenly flashed on and standing there in the lights was Fox, Kirby, Yoshi, Jigglypuff, Pikachu, Mario, Luigi, DK, Captain Falcon, Samus, and Link.

"I see," Ness laughed as he stood up. "My name is Ness. Thank you for saving me. Now then we can skip the introductions since I know all of your names."

"Hmm what an overly convenient plot device," Pikachu said.

"I am capable of PSI abilities and the government clearly saw me as a threat."

"No," Pikachu responded. "They saw you as a threat because of what you knew about EON6."

"EON6, that sounds familiar." Link thought for a few seconds. "Of course Dr. Stiles said something about it! What is it…"

"Its probably not important right now," Ness sighed. "But I want to know why your ship came crashing down."

"We were captured by our robot who decided to capture us and deliver us to the government since we are all wanted criminals. Currently we are trying to find out if it was something in his programming or if he was hacked." Fox replied. "During the hostile takeover we damaged the ship's navigation systems and ultimately caused the ship to crash here. We were originally planning to come here but a bit quieter."

Slippy was off in the corner repairing ROB to the point where he could read the memory and determine the cause of the hostile program. Peppy was somewhere else in the ship looking for the old instruction manual, which Fox had told him to burn years prior.

"Anyways," Fox continued. "I'd recommend staying here."

Ness said, "Sorry, but I was planning on going down to Twoson today. Then to Winters."

"It would be best if you stayed here," Fox replied. "At least here we can protect you from those who wish to harm you." Ness was quiet. "I don't have to have PSI to see what you are plotting. If you wish to leave I won't stop you but don't count on us coming to your rescue a second time."

Ness began to walk away. "Then this is goodbye." With that Ness left the room.

In a room there was about 1000 different people all wearing white cloaks. All of them were chanting something in a different language. They were all facing a small sphere that was resonating with a dark energy. A person stepped up and the chanting stopped. "Lord Giygas has surely heard our prayers!" he proclaimed. "And soon he will rise again to punish this world, and he has granted us a vision of those who had defeated him. Bring in those who are dear to them!"

Four cloaked figures brought in Ness' mother and sister Tracy. "Let me go you freaks!" Tracy yelled struggling as much as she could in order to break free from their grasp. "Help me Ness!"

"No one can help you now!" The cult leader proclaimed, "Only Lord Giygas will bring you comfort." He placed his hand on Tracy's forehead and with in a few seconds she stopped fidgeting. They then let go of her and she bowed down before the sphere.

"What have you done?!" Ness' Mother yelled

"Do not worry," The cult leader replied. "You will soon be joining her in the quest for purity!" he reached out his hand and placed it on her head covering her eyes. "Do not trust your eyes for they lie to you. Only Lord Giygas can let you see the truth." Ness' Mother stopped moving around. "Welcome to your new life," the cult leader smiled, in his voice was a certain warmness.

From outside The Master just smiled. "Humans are so easy to manipulate," He thought to himself.

Meanwhile the Government agents sat in a dark room. "We have to eliminate Ness. Its time to prepare plan B."
