The Resistance: Chapter 13

Ultimate- Part 1

( watch?v=gwpo1kv8ASk)

"It's good to be home." Ana said, taking a quick whiff of the air. Lying on a white sofa in the room, she closed his eyes.

"It's not like we can stay long though." Loid said, sitting on the side of the sofa. "We still have to go back eventually. Besides, this isn't even your house."

"It will be once Ninten and I get married." She let out a heavy sigh.

"You're already planning on marriage? Aren't you a little young to be thinking about that?"

"Aren't you a little young to know how to build weapons?" She retorted, sitting up a little bit so she could look Loid in the eye.

"Well played."

"We do need a nice break however." Teddy said, leaning on the wall. "We were nearly killed today."

"That shouldn't be anything new to you Teddy." Ninten said, walking into the room with Pippi. Ninten was holding trays filled with snacks, while Pippi was holding a few backpacks.

"I have your snacks!" Ninten yelled with glee. "I have French fries for Loid, a sports drink for Teddy, orange juice for Ana and a hamburger for Pippi."

"You didn't make yourself something?" Ana asked as Ninten passed out the snacks.

"The little dude is just trying to be tough, that's all." Teddy said as he took his sports drink.

"I already have a steak waiting for me in the kitchen, so I decided not to get a snack." Ninten responded, giving Loid his French fries.

"This guy loves his steak." Loid chuckled.

"Sometimes a little bit too much." Ana said, taking her orange juice.

"Hey, steak makes you strong!" Ninten said.

"As strong as an ox!" Pippi chimed in.

"Yes, but at what cost?" Loid muttered.

Pippi threw down the backpacks and took her hamburger from Ninten. "He gets stronger each time he eats!" she said before taking a bite out of her sandwich.

Ninten sat down in the middle of the floor. "So everyone remember what we need to do right?" He asked.

"We need to find our old equipment and then go back and pick up Ness and company." Loid said.

"Then we spend a day training and rest up the next." Teddy said.

"Then we go back to Lucas' time and prepare to attack Porky." Said Ana.

"And then after we win we come home and have an ice cream party!" Pippi exclaimed.

The four stared at Pippi.

"What?" She asked.

". . ."

". . ." She took another bite out of her sandwich.

"Anyway, you each forgot one thing." Ninten said.

"What?" They all asked together.

"We have to upgrade our equipment and take it with us. That's why I had Pippi grab the bags."

They all looked at Loid.

"You know, upgrading stuff isn't easy." Loid said, eating a few fries.

"You've done it before, why can't you do it now?" Ana asked.

"I kind of…locked myself out of my lab…" Loid's face turned bright red.

Ninten and Teddy broke out into laugher, while Pippi left the room. Ana, feeling bad for Loid, got up off the sofa and placed a hand on his shoulder. "It's ok Loid, these things happen." She told him. She then gave him a tight hug, making the boy blush harder.

"Thanks Ana…" He muttered.

Ninten stopped laughing as well and stood up. "She's right; anybody can get locked out of somewhere. I know someone who can help us enter the lab." He eyed Teddy out the corner of his eye.

Catching on, Loid clapped his hands together. "Of course, we have an ex-gang member on our side!"

Teddy smirked. "I'll see what I can do." He chuckled. Ana merely rolled her eyes.

Ninten walked over to the dresser in the corner. He opened up the bottom drawer and pulled out a gray box covered in dust. He walked back to the center of the room and motioned for his friends to gather around him. As soon as they were close, he opened up the box.

"I was saving the stuff in this box for emergencies, but it seems like we need it now. This is stuff that I either took or didn't give to you guys for different reasons." The first thing he pulled out of the box was a blue capsule. "This was for Loid, but I didn't think he needed it after a while." He gave it to Loid. The boy in glasses inspected the capsule.

"A fight capsule? Why would you think I didn't need this?" Loid asked.

"You're pretty strong Loid; I thought you didn't need it because you could always hold your ground in battle."

Loid opened the capsule and drank the continents in it. "I'm glad you think I'm strong." Loid stammered after finishing the capsule.

"But it never hurts to get stronger." Teddy said.

"Yes it does!" Called Pippi from the hallway.

"Pippi come in here!" Ninten yelled.

"Nah, I'm fine out here." She said.

"Pippi if you're setting up another camera in my hallway again, I-"

"I'm not putting up my spy gear; I'm finishing my sandwich you lunatic!" Pippi called.

"All right, but once you're finished get in here!"

"OK!"

Ninten then pulled out a yellow capsule. "I took this from Ana because I didn't want her to take it." He was blushing when he said this. He tossed her the capsule. The blond girl inspected the capsule.

"Is it because I'm smarter than you?" She smirked. "You just gave me a wisdom capsule."

"I'm not answering that." Ninten said rather quickly while Loid and Teddy snickered.

Next, Ninten pulled out a golden ring. "This I took from Teddy while he was sleep."

"Now why would you do that?" Teddy said, snatching the ring.

"You took it from me that's why!" Ninten muttered. Teddy put the ring on his finger, much to Ninten's dismay.

Next, Ninten pulled out a pendant with a water symbol on it. "This I don't remember taking at all…"

"It's a sea pendant." Loid said after looking at it.

"Who had a sea pendant?" Ana asked.

". . ."

"Oh well, let's just take it." Teddy said.

Ninten placed the sea pendant on the floor. He then looked in the box. There was only two items left in it. The first item was a blue inhaler. Ninten quickly took out the inhaler and closed the box. "This is my emergency inhaler, now the box is empty." He stammered.

"What about that pink thing inside there?" Ana asked him.

"Nope, nothing else in the box." Ninten argued.

At that moment Pippi walked into the room. "Alright I'm finished, now what do you want?" She then noticed the box. "Is it in this box?" She quickly grabbed the box before Ninten could hide it. She tried to open the box, but Ninten tried to grab it from her. She threw it in the air, allowing the other item to slip out. It floated towards the ground.

It was a pink pair of panties covered in hearts.

Everyone stared at Ninten. There was silence for several moments.

"I thought you told me you chickened out of panty raiding Ana." It was Teddy who broke the silence.

Ana's face went bright red. Ninten started to feel nervous.

( watch?v=EnsLzijguI8)

"I think it's time we went to Merrysville and went to Loid's lab." Ninten said quickly. He grabbed Loid's hand and dashed out the room, dragging Loid across the floor. Pippi and Teddy stared at Ana.

Ninten dashed out the front door of his home. He didn't look back at the green and white stripped house, nor did he slow down to allow his friend to get up. He then ran into EVE, causing him to fall.

"Oh, I forgot EVE was on sleep mode here." Loid said, getting up.

"You left her in the middle of the walkway?" Ninten asked.

"How was I supposed to know you actually took a pair of the girl's panties?"

"YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO KNOW, THAT WAS THE POINT!"

"What seems to be the problem?" EVE asked, now facing the two.

"You're awake?" Loid asked.

"Any physical contact wakes me up automatically." EVE responded.

Ninten sighed. "Let's get going, before-"

"NINTEN!" Ana's angry voice barked from inside.

As soon as the two boys turned around, they saw Ana standing in the window. She jumped down (giving Ninten a good view of her white panties) and landed on her feet.

"You are in SO much trouble!" She yelled.

"Pk Teleport, don't fail me now." Ninten pleaded as he took Loid's hand. He immediately started running, dragging Loid once again. EVE followed the two boys as they ran to the purple portal up ahead. Ana gave chase after the three, but she could not reach them in time. Ninten jumped into the portal with Loid and EVE right behind him. The portal then closed, right before Ana could jump inside. She fell into the ground. Teddy rushed over to her as she got up and dusted herself off.

"You ok?" He asked her.

"Yeah, nothing too serious." She sighed. She then smiled an evil grin. "He forgot I also know Pk Teleport." She then grabbed Teddy's hand.

"Wait for me!" Pippi cried. She was also standing from the same window Ana stood in. She jumped down; only she did a forward flip and landed on her feet. She then rushed over to the two and hopped on Teddy's back.

"ONWARD, MY TRUSTY HORSES!" She exclaimed.

"I'm not your horse Pippi." Teddy argued.

"Hush, before you get no oats for dinner!" She yelled in his ear.

Before Teddy could reply, Ana took off like a rocket. As the three increased speed, Pippi started to slip off of Teddy's back. She adjusted herself and held in tighter to Teddy. Teddy almost released Ana's hand, for he stumbled while running. However Ana made sure she had a firm grip on his hand. The purple portal appeared in front of the three, but it appeared to be a mere glimpse, for Ana was running at a different pace than normal.

Running straight through the middle of a somewhat big town, Ana, Teddy and Pippi were now running in the middle of the street. Noticing they were at their destination, Ana stopped with a loud screech. She let go of Teddy's hand before he could stop, causing him to fall. Pippi jumped off of him right before he fell. Ana looked around for any sign of Ninten. Pippi walked up to Ana and stared at her.

"Aren't you overreacting?" Pippi asked her.

"No, you'll understand one day when a boy steals your undergarments." Ana told her.

Teddy stood up and dusted himself off. "Well let's head to Loid's house and see if they are there." And with that, the three walked down the street. After getting out of the middle of the road first.

"Ninten's going to get it this time." Ana muttered as the three walked past a store. "I'm going to give him a powerful Pk Fire until he has an asthma attack. Then I'll give him his inhaler, tell him I overreacted." Pippi grunted after Ana said "Then I'll Pk Freeze him solid! Then I'll melt him with another lash of Pk Fires." Ana felt a tug on her arm. She stopped, but kept on talking. "Then after he has another asthma attack, I'll give him his inhaler once more, telling him I didn't mean to make him have another attack. Then I'll give him a good Pk thunder, and then I'll finish it off with Pk Beam γ." She felt another tug on her arm. "And after that I'll…I'll…I'll take my panties back!" Again she felt a tug on her arm. Finally, Ana looked down and gave a sharp look to Pippi. "What?"

( audio/listen/9364) (This one is from Newgrounds)

"Ninten's over there, and he's in trouble!" Pippi cried, pointing back at the store. In front of the store was Ninten, being held around his neck by a silver alien-like creature. It had a red visor in the middle of its face, along with a few black spots over where its heart would be located. The alien pointed a gun at his head. Standing inches away from the alien were Loid and EVE, trying to think of a way to free Ninten as he struggled to get free. Teddy, however, was on the side of the store, climbing on the side of the building.

"It's a starman!" Cried Ana. She rushed passed Pippi, knocking her down. She stood beside Loid, starting at the starman.

"What happened?" Ana asked Loid.

"After we teleported here, Ninten decided to hide at the store for a while." Loid explained. "In front of it we saw a starman cutout. Ninten kicked it and suddenly it came to life!"

"STAY BACK OR THE BOY GETS INJURED PERMINENTLY!" The starman yelled, tightening his grip on Ninten. "JUST GIVE ME THE ONE AND I WILL LEAVE PEACEFULLY!"

"What does he mean by 'the one'?" Loid asked.

"More importantly, what is a starman doing here?" Ana asked.

Loid turned to EVE. "EVE, check and see if there are any starman in the area."

"ALL RESISTANCE IS IN VAIN. NO ONE CAN STOP ME." The starman cried.

"No other starman found." EVE said.

"What can we do?" Ana asked. "One step and Ninten is done for."

"Either way, he was gonna get hurt today." Loid muttered.

"Hey I wasn't going to kill him!"

"It sure seemed like it."

"ENOUGH MINDLESS CHATTER! GIVE ME THE ONE THIS INSTANT!" The starman was getting impatient. It quickly turned around and shot a laser at Teddy, who was watching from the rooftop. This caught Teddy off guard, causing him to lose his balance when he was hit. He fell off the building towards the starman, which kicked him away. Teddy rolled into two nearby trash cans, knocking them over. Ana and Loid stared in disbelief.

"Pk Beam γ!" Ana fired a powerful blast yellow blast from her body. The starman jumped out the way and retaliated with a Pk Beam γ as well. This move caught Ana off guard, knocking her and Loid unconscious as it struck the two. EVE, however, appeared unaffected.

"PITTIFUL HUMANS. IT IS A DISGRACE THAT THEY ONCE BEAT US." The starman muttered. Ninten's face was growing paler and paler. "NOW REVEAL THE LOCATION OF THE ONE TO ME RIGHT NOW OR ELSE MORE LIVES THAN THIS ONE WILL BE AT STAKE!" As the starman spoke, Ninten gasped for air. "I SHALL DESTROY ALL HUMANS IN MY WAY IF I-"

The visor on the starman suddenly went black, and the starman stopped moving. It fell to the ground with a thud, dropping Ninten, who gasped for air as soon as he hit the ground. Behindthe starman was Pippi grinning widely.

"These things have an off switch." She beamed. She looked around. She saw Ninten on the ground with a very pale face, EVE not moving, Ana and Loid unconscious on the ground, and Teddy lying under a pile of garbage. Pippi pondered for a few moments on what to do. While she was thinking, Ninten finally stood up.

"I swear to god I will never steal another woman's panties again." He huffed. He turned to Pippi. Before Pippi could respond, Ninten rushed up to her and embraced her with a hug. Dazed, Pippi returned the hug. "Pippi you saved my life! I owe you one."

Pippi smiled at the boy. "No problem, that's what friends do, right?"

Ninten held up his hand. "Right."

Pippi high-fived Ninten with a huge grin. "Come on, we gotta carry these guys to Loid's house."

"Right, let's get moving." Ninten nodded.

-An hour and forty-six minutes later-

"So when should we wake her?"

"I say we ignore her for now."

"Let's jump on her belly!"

"NO!"

"Aww…"

"Let's take off her hat and hide it!"

"I think I've had enough of taking clothes for a while…"

"…Hum?"

"She's awake!"

( watch?v=P5xtgHdIj14)

Ana opened her eyes to see each of her close friends staring at her, except for Loid. She slowly sat up and looked around. "Where am I?" She asked.

"In Loid's laboratory." Teddy told her.

"You already picked the lock?" She asked.

"That was over thirty minutes ago." He smirked.

She stood up. "So when do we start upgrading?"

"As soon as Loid comes back." Ninten said from behind Teddy. Ana stared at him.

Loid ran up to them with a capsule. "I've got it!" He looked at Ana. "Glad to see you are ok. This capsule will upgrade each of our items to the fullest extent. It will even give us a description of the new item. It's a scanner, an upgrader, and a cup holder all in one! I call it the UG! UG is short for upgrader." Loid smiled widely as he opened the capsule. "Who wants to try it first?"

Teddy walked up to Loid and placed in his katana. "If this doesn't work, you'll have to go to the hospital." Teddy said.

"Not a problem Teddy, it'll be a snap." Loid beamed. He closed the capsule and shook it. Everyone stared at him, wondering when he would stop. After several moments, Loid stopped shaking the capsule. Loid opened the capsule and proudly smiled. Inside the capsule was Teddy's katana, only it had a silver blade and golden handle. It seemed to shine as Teddy picked it up.

"Dragon Katana." The capsule said, making Teddy jump back in surprise. It grabbed everyone's attention. "A katana containing the power of legendary ancestors who were believed to have mythical powers like dragons. One swing from this can cause the enemy to become distracted for unknown reasons, even if it doesn't hit. It incredibly increases fight and greatly increases offense."

"Holy seagulls that stole my snake shaped salty sea shrimp, it works!" Pippi exclaimed.

"Who's next?" Loid asked, reopening the capsule.

Ninten walked up to the machine and placed his silver bat inside. "Loid, you modified this bat. As a sign of our friendship, I keep this bat on me at all times. If you mess this up, I won't be happy." Ninten said sternly.

"You need to put more faith in me Ninten old buddy." Loid smirked. "Have I ever ruined something of yours? Don't answer that." Loid closed the capsule again. He shook it again for several long moments. Ninten stood close to Loid, studying him as he worked. When Loid stopped shaking the capsule, Ninten took it and opened it. The silver bat was now coated in blue paint. There where words inscribed on the bottom. "To my best friend, Ninten. From your pal Loid." Was inscribed along the side of the bat. Ninten stared at the bat with awe.

"Best Friends Bat." The capsule said. "A bat recommended for best friends only. Giving it to someone shows a sign of friendship between two friends. It greatly increases fight, greatly increases offense, and slightly increases force."

Ninten said nothing as Ana walked past him and placed her golden-colored frying pan inside. "I think I'm the only one who trusts you Loid." She gave him a warm smile. "One day you'll be a famous inventor. I'll be proud to tell my kids he's a close friend of mine." Loid blushed and said nothing as he closed the capsule. As he shook the capsule, Ana stared at Ninten. Ninten did not notice, for he was still staring at the baseball bat. "You can keep them." She told him. This made Ninten look up and stare at her with a confused expression. She gave him a sly grin as Loid stopped shaking the capsule. Inside it was a red frying pan that did not look special other than its color.

"Blood pan." The machine said. "A frying pan made strictly for defense. It is rumored to have been coated in blood and that is the reason why it is coated red. It greatly increases offense, defense, and wisdom. However it decreases speed depending on the user's strength."

Ana stared at the frying pan with a black expression while Teddy roared with laughter. Pippi ran up to the machine. She placed her boomerang inside. "If you can make my boomerang stronger, then I'll run around town happy!" She exclaimed.

Loid shut the capsule. "Then you better get ready to run Pippi!" He exclaimed. He shook the capsule multiple times as everyone stared at him. After a while, Loid stopped shaking the capsule and opened the capsule. Inside the capsule was a shiny brown boomerang with a huge red 'x' on both ends. "Capsule, tell us about the boomerang." Loid proudly stated.

"Boomerang X." The capsule stated. "A powerful boomerang with exceptional quality. Can hit an enemy repeatedly until caught by either the user or the enemy. It greatly increases the offense and fight of the user."

Pippi took the boomerang and shrieked with glee. "Thank you so much Loid!" She happily hugged him and ran out the room.

"I wonder what that starman meant by the one…" Ana thought allowed.

"Perhaps it meant Ninten, but did not recognize him." Loid suggested.

"I don't want to think about it…" Ninten shuttered at the thought of the near-death experience.

"Perhaps it's a sign." Teddy said. "If a starman is here, then it might have been sent back for something important. If that's the case, then we have to figure out what it wants."

"More importantly, we need to get it before it does." Loid said.

"But what could the starman want other than psi?" Ninten questioned.

Before anyone could reply, EVE entered the room.

"Hello EVE, are you all recharged?" Loid asked.

"Battery power at 100%."

"Sweet, so we are all ready to go?"

"What about your own weapon Loid?" Ana asked.

Loid pulled out a gray bazooka. "I have no need to upgrade my weapon here." He smiled.

"Now let's go get Pippi and head to the future." Ninten lead the way out the laboratory. He tripped over some clothes in the hallway. Ninten got up and picked up the clothes. After examining them, he realized who they belonged to.

"…These are Pippi's clothes…"

"Not again." Ana muttered.

"Go find her." Ninten gave the clothes to Ana. She walked off, calling for Pippi. The others followed, except for Ninten. He stared out a nearby window and focused his attention on the starman.

"What could that starman want?" Ninten asked aloud.

"It wants me…" Came an echoing voice.

"Huh? Who's there?" Ninten looked around, but no one was in the room.

"I said it wants me… you know me…we go way back…I'm a part of you…"

Ninten suddenly realized the voice was coming from inside his head.

"What do you mean it wants me?" He thought.

"You saved the world; it's quite obvious it wants revenge. Not to mention you beat its leader, Giegue. He wants revenge, and he swore it against you."

"But how…why does he want me? I didn't beat him alone."

"To take them all out, you have to aim for the ring leader. You are the leader. That's why I'm taking you down…"

"Wha?"

"That's right; I'm coming for you Ninten…" The voice was colder and clearer now to Ninten. "I am a psi master, you do not have fear me yet. When I fled, I crashed in a cave somewhere. I used the last of my power to teleport my fellow soldiers home. The starman must have come back for me. But I know how the future will turn out. You do not have to fear me. I only want vengeance. I will face you and your pitiful friends in battle, and singing won't help you this time. I'm warning you Ninten, keep going and you will die at my feet. However, either way you will die because I will kill you."

Ninten stared in disbelief. "Bring it on Giegue… bring it."

The boy heard laughter inside his head. "It's already been brought. Get ready to choke on it boy." Giegue's menacing voice echoed.

At that moment, Ana and Teddy came into the room, carrying an unwilling Pippi. Loid came in on EVE's back.

"Gotta run, chao!" Giegue's voice trailed off.

Ninten did not move. Sensing his energy, Ana placed a hand on his shoulder. "Are you ok?" She asked.

"He's back." Was his only response.

"Who?"

"Giegue. The starman wanted Giegue. Giegue apparently crash-landed in a cave somewhere and in the future tried to take over. We know that didn't happen or else Porky wouldn't be in charge, so someone or something must have beaten him. Either way, he's coming for me."

Silence covered the room.

"You mean us." Ana said. "He's coming for us."

Ninten stared at her.

"We're in this together." Loid said.

"Let's kick some alien butt!" Pippi cried.

"Not yet, we have to help Lucas first." Ninten said. "That's a promise I made and must keep."

"You know what we must do right?" Teddy said.

"I have a feeling I know exactly what to do." Ninten said.

Next time: The future training with Ness and co., along with an old friend!
