Chapter 30: The N-Sword formed

Paula was lying down weakly in the hospital bed. Ness sat on the chair across from the bed. "It might work." She smiled. "If you bring me to a Your Sanctuary location I'm sure I'll be healed. It always worked before didn't it?"

Ness just nodded. "You've become so frail though. If you were to be exposed to a place like that I'm sure your body would be unable to withstand the shock."

"Perhaps, but that's something we will have to figure out for ourselves."

The Master stood at the edge of a cliff. Everything was foggy. "Giygas tell me how do I revive you?" He asked. There was no response just the wind blowing. "I see," he replied.

Link was walking down the streets of Onett receiving strange glares from everyone and anyone. In his mind he was remembering a conversation between him and Fox that had happened after Ness had left. "Why did you let him go?" he had asked Fox.

Fox just sat there staring at the door. "We can't drag him by force." He replied. "Maybe if you talk to him he will change his mind. I placed a tracking device on him so you could find him." A hologram appeared above the table with a dot flashing when suddenly it began to move fast then disappear.

"What just happened?" Link asked.

"He might of found the device and destroyed it." Fox sighed a moment later the flashing light reappeared somewhere else. After a quick moment of study Fox declared. "It seems he has gone to Twoson. You should go there and find him."

And so Link was walking down the streets of Onett going to the forest that leads to Twoson. 'How did Ness suddenly move from here to Twoson?' Link asked himself. 'Did he teleport?'

In front of him was the entrance to a forest. Link walked in.

Ness appeared in Winters. It was cold just like he remembered it. In front of him was a giant white building. 'This is where Jeff lives,' Ness said to himself. He approached a door and knocked on it only to find it all ready open. Ness walked into the building and looked around. It was mostly a mess with computers and other expensive looking stuff lying around everywhere. He walked through the mess to another room. Sitting in the room was Jeff.

Jeff sat there just tinkering on a machine not paying attention or looking up at Ness. In the middle of the machine was a crystal similar to the one that Paula had.

"Jeff!" Ness said walking towards him.

Jeff just looked up and stared at Ness as though he didn't recognize him. "Get out before I call security!" He threatened.

"Come on Jeff I know you've been rather forgetful and busy recently and we haven't talked very much but you should still remember me!"

"I don't know you!" Jeff shouted pulling out a gun that he had resourcefully made from an old air gun. "Get out!" he fired a warning shot to show Ness that he was serious.

Ness snapped his fingers and paralyzed Jeff. He placed his hand on Jeff's forehead and then backed away. "You looked through my memories!" Jeff said enraged. "What right do you have to look through them?"

"Forgive me…" Ness said walking away. "I was looking for something that wasn't there. It might be best if you forget this intrusion." Ness snapped his fingers again and Jeff fell unconscious. "What's going on?" Ness asked himself silently.

Ness appeared in front of a giant palace. "Perhaps Poo will know what's going on." He said to himself. Ness began to walk to the front gate. "I am here to see Prince Poo!" He shouted. However there was no response. Ness began to walk to the side of the palace where there was a window. He used his PSI to lift himself up and he walked through it only to be ambushed by several guards. The next moment Ness was lying on the ground and tied up. He was then brought to the throne room where Prince Poo was sitting.

"Prince Poo there was an intruder."

"Poo please say you remember me we were good friends, we took down Giygas together."

"I've never seen him before," Poo responded. "Throw him out!"

With that Ness was thrown out of the palace. Knowing that there was nothing else that he could do he teleported away back to Twoson where he appeared in front of Link. The sudden appearance startled both of them. After regaining their composer they went inside the hospital into the waiting room. There was no one else except them in the room.

"They all forgot about me," Ness cried. "I feel that my only option is to go with you." Ness put down his backpack and placed it on the table. "Take what's inside when I see it the memories will come back." Link reached inside and pulled out something by the handle. "We found it in the forest a week after we defeated Giygas. We all felt rather lucky that we found something like that in the forest." Link pulled out the item that was purple and looked at it.

"It's the Cube Cannon," the NES sword replied. All four items floated in front of Link and in a white light they all merged into a sword.

"We thought we were lucky that we found a Gamecube." Ness laughed remembering it. "We played with it for most of the day and well into the night. Its painful to look at it now."

Link was silent. "Its over," He managed to say grabbing onto the N-Sword. "Only one other thing is left and that is to defeat The Master." He walked away from Ness.

"There is only one other thing I want to do," Ness sighed standing up. "I want to bring Paula to a 'Your Sanctuary' location in hopes to heal her. Then I'll have no regrets and I can leave this world with you."

"I understand," Link replied.

"Link the final battle approaches, the master must realize this by now. We have no time to waste!"

"Right." The doors opened and into the waiting room came Paula.

"All right," She said sweetly. "Lets go!"
