Chapter 32: Giygas

The Master held up the N-Sword. "This weapon is capable of rewriting the very boundaries we exist on." He announced "Truly it doesn't belong in the hands of children." The Master began to harness his power and he pointed the N-Sword at the sanctuary. A beam of light came out of the N-Sword and hit the sanctuary. Light then erupted from the sanctuary and hit the sky. The sun suddenly disappeared and the sky became dark. Off in the distance 7 other pillars of light could be seen shooting into the sky. Each of the 8 pillars collided and formed a ball of light.

Ness fell down clutching his heart while he screamed in pain. "Yes," The Master sinisterly replied. "Meet Giygas revived!"

Energy swirled around The Master everyone noticed how it was strangely taking shape. "Now Giygas merge with me and together we will destroy the universe!" The Master shouted. But nothing happened. The Master faced the energy mass and pointed the N-Sword at it. "I command you!"

Giygas just laughed. "You want me to become one with you? No, if I have no other choice but to merge with someone I would rather merge with someone who I know is strong than someone who just wants my power and just claims to be strong." The Master stood there speechless.

"Then if you don't obey me I will destroy you!" The Master slashed at the air however his blade just went through Giygas. The Master lost his grip on the sword and it went flying into the ground.

"Didn't you just finish saying that children shouldn't have the sword?"

"Curse you!" The Master shouted out frustrated. "Curse this body, and curse that stupid hand! I was burned and branded by the fires of malice to become stronger. But when I returned my spirit was thrown into the closest vessel. All this time I now realize how inadequate that hand has been."

"So you are weak." Giygas sneered moving towards Ness. "Now then know the humiliation that I have placed upon you by choosing this boy over you." Giygas' energy all went into Ness who began to scream as though he was in great pain. But within thirty seconds the screaming stopped. Ness just stood frozen in place his head facing the sky his face fixed with the expression of pain that he had felt. "And it seems he has survived the initial transfer." Giygas' voice boomed. "You have five days until we hunt you down and kill you!"

The Master just disappeared. From the cave emerged the other eight warriors. "Damn looks like we're late for the party." Fox complained. They went to Link, Kirby, Pikachu, Ness, and Paula's aid. "Ah well looks like we can still clean up the trash." Fox smiled looking at the cult.

"Infidel Lord Giygas will destroy you!"

"Really?" Fox asked. Mario, Luigi, DK, Yoshi, Samus, Jigglypuff, and Captain Falcon appeared behind Fox. They ran into the cult knocking fighting all of them. Within a few minutes all of the cult members were unconscious.

Ness collapsed on to the ground. Link rushed to his aid. "Don't touch him!" a new voice shouted out. Link looked towards the entrance of the sanctuary and saw Poo and Jeff standing there. "We must kill him now!" Poo shouted.

Kirby and Pikachu jumped in front of Ness. "You're not going to lay a finger on him!" Pikachu shouted.

Poo raised his hand and suddenly everything became inverted. Both Pikachu and Kirby suddenly collapsed. They were shaking as though they were cold and were sweating unnaturally. "Do any of you want to protect that monster now?" Poo asked everyone else. "Then back away. You eight I will spare your lives, as for these three protecting Giygas means death."

Fox however stepped in between Poo and Link, Ness, Kirby and Pikachu. "Sorry," He replied. "You can kill the kid, I don't care about him, yet, but the moment you threaten members of my crew no matter how long they have been apart of it, I will do everything in my power to stop you."

"Then you will die like them!" Everything became inverted once again. Fox however displayed no changes either physically or mentally.

A sly grin left Fox's mouth. "Sorry to disappoint you but this helmet can nullifies PSI."

Everyone stared shocked. "What! Where did you get that?" Poo asked.

"Lets just say it was a gift from the Government to the boy who defeated Giygas. I just merely took it since it would be a pity to leave this technology."

"Why do you keep on insisting that he was the person who defeated Giygas." Poo shouted outraged. "I was there, he wasn't!"

"So if I defeat you," Ness slowly got up off of the ground, "you will believe that I helped defeat Giygas."

"I'll believe anything, but it's not going to happen." Poo cockily responded.

"The smash shards such a terrible power." The N-Sword sighed. "Who knew that it could rewrite memories? Just by doing that it sent the best of friends against each other."

Jeff, Paula and Poo just stared at Ness. "Perhaps we could have been good friends, but now that you and Giygas are one, we have no choice but to kill you in order to ensure the safety of the world."

Energy swirled around Ness. "You know Giygas will fight back and so will I Poo."

Poo ran forwards while Ness swung his baseball bat. Poo simply knocked the baseball bat aside while he trusted his hand directly onto Ness' chest cracking several of his ribs and sending Ness flying backwards.

Link grabbed his sword and was ready to fight Poo. "Don't interfere!" Ness ordered. "This is between me and him!"

"Listen I can make your death painless" Poo said getting into a fighting stance.

Ness just cringed in pain. "Even if you don't remember me I'm going to do everything in my power to try and make you remember!" Ness just held out his hand and closed his eyes as he read Poo's mind. Ness then shifted into the same position that Poo was in.

"What will that prove?" Poo asked.

"Nothing, I just know how to counter your moves now."

Both Ness and Poo ran at each other and began to fight. One of them would attack only to be blocked by the other and then attacked only for that attack to be blocked. "PSI Rockin!" Ness shouted.

"PSI Starstorm!" Poo shouted as a counter attack. The two PSI attacks collided and canceled each other out. Poo stood there shocked Ness took advantage of the moment and disappeared, only to reappear in front of Poo a second later. Ness attacked Poo by thrusting his palm at him and sending him flying back.

Poo regained his footing and ran towards Ness however he could no longer move and seemed to be suspended in mid air. However a closer look would prove that Poo was caught in thousands of tiny PSI threads. Despite the situation Poo managed to smile, his hand glowed with PSI energy and he cut through the threads. "Tell me who did that attack you or Giygas?" Poo asked. "It should be obvious that it was Giygas who sent those strings across this place. You can not suppress his power. You can't even control it. No human can!"

"Shut up!" Ness shouted running forwards. He swung his arm and a metal baseball bat appeared in his hands.

"His Weapon of Heart has been awakened." The N-Sword said. Poo drew a sword and blocked using it.

There battle went on for several minutes, each of them exchanging PSI attacks, punches, kicks, and sword attacks. Until both Ness and Poo fell down exhausted. "At last that boy was weak enough for me to fully take over," Giygas voice laughed, it came from Ness' mouth. The intense aura of darkness came off of Ness' body. "Not even the power of the Your Sanctuary location is suppressing me!"

The N-Sword said, "Link we have no other option. We have to seal Giygas."

"Right." Link responded back.

Poo gasped for air as the Your Sanctuary location began to heal him. From underneath his fighting Gi he brought out a scroll. "If you want to kill Giygas you have to kill Ness."

Link just smiled. "I was never thinking of killing Ness."

Paula walked towards the cult that was watching the battle. "Please you have to help me suppress Giygas' power!"

"And why should we do that?" The cult leader asked. "Lord Giygas will help purify this land of those who aren't worthy."

Paula stood there shocked. "But you don't understand." She tried to plead. "Giygas is blocking the Your Sanctuary from healing Ness. His body is too weak at the moment, and with Giygas growing stronger both of them will die!"

"So what?" The cult leader asked. "We can just revive Giygas again!" with that the cult leader was shot in the face with something that exploded on contact. Jeff stood still with a homemade gun in his hands.

Paula began to kneel and looked at Ness. "Please suppress Giygas. Protect Ness. Protect us." Each of the cult members began to pray and the aura around Ness began to lose its power.

Link on the other hand had a Light Arrow ready. This arrow however was different instead of radiating with just a bright light it radiated with 6 different colors. "I need a clear shot of his abdomen." Link shouted as Ness was now struggling to get out of the area.

"Not today!" Poo said as he appeared in front of Ness and punched him back. "PSI Paralysis." Sparks covered Poo's hand and he hit Ness once again. This time Ness stood paralyzed however he continued to struggle.

"Six element seal!" Link shouted as he fired the arrow. It hit Ness in the abdomen and began to suppress the aura further. Ness then collapsed and the Your Sanctuary location began to heal him. Paula got up from praying and walked towards Ness.

"Put Ness in the middle of the Sanctuary." She ordered. Poo grabbed Ness and placed him neatly in the center of the Sanctuary location. There everyone could see the markings on Ness' abdomen. A giant circle with six smaller circles inside each colored a different color: Green, Red, Blue, Yellow, Purple, and white. Paula faced Link. "That seal isn't going to last forever."

"Nothing ever does," Link responded.

"I'll make the seal stronger." She looked at the cult who had regained their senses and came out of the hypnosis. She then placed her hands on Ness' abdomen in it was her Smash Crystal something that she had been clutching so hard during the battle that her hands began to bleed. Her PSI energy surged and began to transfer into Ness until she collapsed. "Don't be mad Ness." She looked up at Link again. "I want you to promise me that you will watch over him and make sure that Giygas doesn't escape. If it comes to destroying him I will teach you a melody."

"I promise" Link replied, he then learned the melody telepathically.

She smiled before going unconscious.

Ness woke up. He was on the cold metallic bed of the hospital wing of the Great Fox. He saw on his stomach was a large Smash Shard. The seal had vanished so he couldn't see it. "So your awake," Link said coming out of the shadows. "It has been two days."

Ness tried to move but he found it quite difficult. "What happened?" he asked.

"Some things are best not known." Link grimly replied. Sui walked into the room and grabbed the Smash Shard off of Ness.

"6 Smash Shards." She replied. "Its enough to suppress Giygas. You should know that your friends got their memory back."

"That's good," Ness replied gleefully. "But what happened with Giygas?"

"He was weakened and I created a 6 element seal," Link sighed. "Unfortunately there is a downside to it… but we will worry about that when it comes in 6 years."

"Are my friends okay?"

Link and Sui looked at each other each exchanging grim expressions. "Poo and Jeff are fine…"

"And Paula?"

Link tried to force out the words but they wouldn't come. "She's d…"

"She passed on her powers to you so that incase the seal broke you could fight Giygas yourself." Sui filled in for Link. "She was doing fine in the Your Sanctuary Location, but once you exited the holy grounds she got worse. She was rushed to the hospital and within a few hours she died."

"No!" Ness said shocked.

"This is a Smash Crystal, it was radiating off an aura of pure evil before you entered the Your Sanctuary location." Sui explained. "Most likely she was trying to purify it fully herself but the evil was making her weak. She didn't realize how much power she was using because of the healing of the Sanctuary and without her own power to fight back the corrupt aura took over."

"Tell me…" Ness said crying. "Who corrupts these crystals?"

"He goes by 'The Master'" Link told him.

"That guy who was after Giygas." Ness asked.

"Yes."

"Let me join you and defeat him!"

-YES this fic is very animeish… It might be because a lot of different things are borrowed from different animes… Some more obvious than others… coughnarutocough

Now I just hope Paula isn't a playable character in SSBB otherwise I'm going to have to think of some overly cheesy way to bring her back to life…

The melody that Paula is referring to… the song in Mother 1 that destroyed Giegue (Giygas). Just look it up at Wikipedia under "Mother video game"… I'm not sure if I can post it here because of the rules of
