Triple Threat Reformed part 2
"Roller Coaster Reunions" part 2
The Giant metal Snake hissed at them again. They all stood ready for whatever attack it had in mind. Both heads opened there mouths and unleashed a stream of fire. Immediately they all scattered, and ran back trying to get some distance from the beast.
"Leave it to me," Ninten said. He activated his PK Power then shot up into the air.
"Hey Ninten hold on, what about a plan?" Ness called.
"There he goes again," Ana sighed.
"What's with Ninten he seems to have a bit more attitude then usual?" Ness asked.
"Ninten has suddenly gained this will to do everything by himself. He started doing this a couple of months ago. He excluded us from his life, but not just us his family too. We all are really worried for him, but he just blows us off," Ana explained.
"We tried helping him, or tried to talk with him, but he usually ends up getting really hostile," Loid said.
"Is that so?" Ness said with his arms crossed.
"Well like it or not we have to help him," Jeff said.
"Be my guest, but I would rather help him from down here," Ana said.
"Well I'll take the direct approach then," Ness said.
"Be careful Ness not just of that snake thing, but Ninten too. He might just harm you as well," Loid warned.
"Please, I've been able to take what Ninten could dish out all the time," Ness was getting ready to fly off when Paula stopped him.
"So, what's the plan for the rest of us?" She asked.
Ness just stared at her. "Uh hey tech heads think you can help me out," Ness said referring to Jeff and Loid.
They both put on their thinking face. The looked at the snake while Ninten battles it. The snake was actually cobra like. It had pulled out the fins on its head like a real cobra as well.
"You think…" Loid started.
"Maybe…" Jeff responded.
"Ninten could…"
"Then Ness…"
"That's it!" the both exclaimed.
"I may be psychic guys, but I can't pick up on geek telepathy," Ness said.
They both ignored his comment. "The Cobra robot is made of the whole theme park all joined together right?" Jeff said.
They all nodded.
"Then with that in mind something must be connecting it all,"
"Okay I got it," Ness said. Without another word he flew off. "PK Boom!" he exclaimed. He went charging for the neck on the left of the beast since Ninten had it distracted. Ness was charging with his fist extended. He slammed into the neck, but the result wasn't what he was hoping for. Ness was frozen there for a moment. Then a spine tingling sensation traveled from the top of his hand through his whole body.
"OOOWWWIIIE!" Ness exclaimed. He shook his hand wildly to ease the pain. "What the heck is this thing made of!?" Ness was too preoccupied to notice the second head coming from behind.
"Ness watch your back!" Poo yelled.
Ness turned. He was still shell shocked from the impact to move that he flinched. Suddenly Ninten came in between him and the head.
"PK Release!" he exclaimed. Suddenly his entire silhouette got an out layer of blue. He pulled his left leg back then slammed it into the beast mouth. The force was so incredible that the other head went flying with it. The body followed of course. It went rolling around on the empty tents, and food carts.
"Whoa…that's new," Ness gaped.
"Don't get in the way. I would have used that move to finish it, but I had to save you. (Glares back at him) Next time I'll let it eat you," with those words he flew back into battle.
Ness began to float back down. Ninten really could handle this himself. Ness came back down dispersing his energy.
"Now you know how we feel," Ana said.
"It puts us at ease that he can handle himself, but it makes us feel bad that he could use us but doesn't need to," Loid said looking down. Ness looked at his friends. He finally understood their position of not being needed.
"…New plan. I was trying this the wrong way. Well all need to work together here,"
"How? Without that technique you and Ninten have, we're pretty useless," Poo said.
"No, your not, non of you are. We're all friends, and being a friend means helping them out, weather they want it or not,"
They all smiled.
"I like the way you think kid," said a much older kid with shades. This was the first time he spoke.
"Thanks uhh who are you?"
"Names Teddy," he said.
"He's with us," Ana said. Ness nodded.
"Okay everyone here's what I need you guys to do…"
Ninten was trying his best to fight off the two heads, but he was quickly beginning to lose ground. Both Cobra heads struck lightning fast. Although he was quick he was barley able to dodge a few blows. Both heads push out at the same. Ninten charged forward to meet its attack. However it separated leaving Ninten in the middle. Both heads slammed together with Ninten in between. When the heads spaced out Ninten started to fall toward the ground. One the heads opened its mouth to eat him. Luckily a red light came flying by and grabbed him before the head slammed its mouth on him. Ninten started to come to his senses to see Ness had grabbed his wrist.
"I told you to stay out of the way!"
"Your welcome, and yes I'm doing well," Ness responded.
Ninten jerked his arm away. "Listen, Ness I don't want you in my way,"
"Good then lets all work together then,"
"All?"
"Don't worry about it, besides your too much a slowpoke to get this done anyway,"
"Excuse me,"
"I mean if your so tuff this shouldn't be a problem right,"
"Its because I had to save your sorry butt,"
"Really I thought it was because your too weak, I've seen girl scouts hit harder then you,"
Ninten growled at Ness with teeth mashed.
'I think that should be enough but one more for good measure,' Ness thought. "Oh and Ninten maybe you should calm down you get so excited every time you look at Ana,"
"What you say!" Ninten yelled throwing insanely fast punch. It left a blue trail behind it. Lucky Ness was ready, and was quick enough to dodge. He then flew off.
"HEY GET BACK HERE!" Ninten yelled after him. He also flew off after Ness.
Ness looked back to see Ninten hot on his tail. "I better be careful in this state Ninten could kill me," Ness muttered.
Ness flew towards the two-headed cobra. Both heads reacted to him. They both snapped at him wildly, however since Ness was much faster than Ninten he had an easier time. Ness flew to the left, then right. He flipped forward in midair, then rolled to his left. He noticed a narrow laser beam hit the cobra on the left. It hit right where the neck met the body. Ness smiled. He looked back to see Ninten smash right through the heads. Ness flew down to where the laser hit. He pulled his eye then stuck out his tongue. Ninten growled viciously then shot out an extremely powerful PK Starbeam. Ness moved at the last moment. The neck was expunged. Ness then flew up smiling. Ninten suddenly came in a grabbed his collar.
"Alright punk time for you to lose some teeth," Ninten said pulling back his fist.
"Ninten hold on look at the cobra,"
Ninten glanced at it. Something caught his attention, and then turned to it. He was awe struck.
"Did I do that?" he asked letting Ness go.
"With a little point in the right direction," Ness said.
Ninten looked at him.
"Guys watch out its regenerating!" Loid called. Ness and Ninten look to see the two-headed cobra was coming back together.
"Uh oh. Poo get ready!" Ness called to the ground.
"Who?" Ninten said a little grossed out.
"Never mind lets move," Ness said grabbing Ninten's wrist. He took a straight nosedive for the cobra.
"H-Hey what are you doing?" Ninten exclaimed. He didn't like going this fast.
"Trust me, and follow my lead," Ness said giving him a thumbs up.
Ninten blinked for a moment. 'Ness…I have met him before,' Ninten nodded then tightened his grip on Ness's wrist.
"GO!" Ness yelled.
Ness and Ninten started to fly in a circle with their arms linked. Both were glowing their respective colors. The red energy and blue energy began to merge with each other. They were moving in a buzz saw like fashion. Pretty soon Ness and Ninten were complete blurs. They slammed in between the cobra's neck. They started to tear through it completely destroying it down the middle. They kept going until they made it to the end. They began to slow down.
"Whoa that was wild!" Ninten exclaimed.
"We better move," Ness said pulling Ninten.
"PK STARSTORM!" Poo yelled from the ground. Stars began to rain onto the leftovers of the robotic snake.
"Whew that was some show," Ness said.
"Yeah, but glad that's over," Ninten said.
They both began to descend to the ground to rejoin the others.
"Great job you guys," Ness said.
"I'm still confused at what happened," Ninten said scratching his head.
"Well if you stayed behind to make a plan with us you wouldn't be so lost. We had to trick you in order for you to help us, help you," Paula said.
"Yeah, Ness came up with a plan that had us all help. Jeff and I needed to find the best point to target that thing. Ness was supposed to distract it while you hit that point hard…" Loid started.
"But I realized you wouldn't go for it," Ness interrupted.
"So, you got on my nerves to get me to help," Ninten said.
"Yep,"
"Once we realized the thing could regenerate we had to act fast. Ness had you two hit hard at the weakest point. While we dispatched with whatever's left. Poo took care of that though himself," Jeff said.
"So, your name is really Poo?" Ninten asked.
"Don't you remember me?" he asked.
Ninten shook his head. "I don't remember any of you save for my four friends over there. But, I know I've met at least Ness before,"
"Glad he knows something," Ness said patting him on the back.
"We should go somewhere else so we can talk about this," Jeff said.
"I know just the place allow me, PK Warp!" Ness said. Suddenly they all disappeared then reappeared in front of a pizza parlor.
"Ahh Mach Pizza,"
"Ness! How are we going talk and eat at the same time?" Jeff exclaimed.
"Hey after that battle I'm starving, besides not like we don't have some down time relax," Ness said walking in.
"He's always in a hurry to do things," Paula said. Everyone else followed after. Ness went up to the counter. He ordered two pieces. On with only cheese the other with sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, and pineapples. Then he sat down at a very large booth for a very large group. In order it was Ness on the outside then Ninten, Ana, Paula, Jeff, Loid, Poo, and Teddy on the other end.
"Okay where should we start?" Ness asked.
"I'll explain," Loid started "Ya see back in our time period there have been random Starman attacks, and even more have been spotted. They never seem to have goal, or a simple incline to provoke them. They just run rampant on a whim. My theory is that they only fight when there is a threat, or when someone interferes i.e. Ninten. I highly doubt whatever their up to is peaceful reasons,"
"But, that's just a guess," Ana finished.
"I had to tangle with a few myself," Teddy said throwing in his two cents.
"Another thing is that they've also gotten stronger. I have too, but they've advanced far beyond what I'm used to," Ninten added.
"They've come non stop, and they even had the courage to go crazy in my town,"
"We conveniently were going to visit Ninten when we heard all the commotion," Loid said. Ness got up to get the pizza.
"But, how did you all get here?" Ness asked coming back with the pizza.
"When we were fighting the ones in Podunk one Starman appeared, but this one was…different,"
"Dwifret?" Ness asked with a mouthful of pizza. His three friends rolled their eyes as they calmly ate a slice themselves.
"Yeah, he was bulkier then the others and he was black, but I can't really remember all the details. However he was stronger then the others…a lot stronger," Ninten said.
"Ninten had latched onto him while he was messing with his arms. We did the same and ended up here at that amusement park," Loid said taking a slice, albeit awkwardly, but no one took note of it.
Ninten started to stare at the pizza Ness had. Ness caught him.
"You can have one if ya want,"
"Although I wouldn't recommend it Ness has some weird taste in some foods," Paula said taking a normal cheese slice. Only Ness was eating out the box with loads of toppings.
Ninten thought for a moment then took a slice from Ness's box. He took a bite then, chewed, and then swallowed.
"Wow…that's good!" Ninten took another bite of the pizza. Everyone except Ness stared at him gaping.
"Oh yeah I forgot what Ninten was to Ness," Jeff said.
"Oh, that makes sense now," Poo said. Ninten looked at them.
"What are you talking about?" He asked about to bite into his pizza.
"Well you and Ness are initially the same person. Ness is a reincarnation of you, and you are Ness's former self vice versa," Poo said.
Ninten immediately stopped in mid bite. He then slowly put the pizza down. "…What,"
"Uh yeah I'm you and your me basically," Ness said taking another slice. Ness didn't notice that Ninten was having trouble believing this. "Oh yeah, you don't remember well it'll all come back to you eventually…" Ness froze. Ninten jumped slightly.
"What is it Ness?" Poo asked sensing tension in Ness.
"It's Lucas's signal…it's fading again," Ness said sadly. His voice was filled with worry. Ninten found it odd for him to be using this different tone.
"Again?" Jeff asked. Ness nodded.
"Wait, I'm new to all this what's going here?" Teddy asked.
"Okay I'll explain," Poo explain. "Eight months ago a evil had been unleashed onto the very fabric of time. This tyrant had touched the lives of three people Ness, Ninten, and Lucas. This tyrant used us their friends to attack them. They saved us, but at the price of Ness's freedom. We soon learn that the one behind all the pain, suffering, and the hate came from Ness. To be more precise an evil part of Ness's heart. This being called itself Nefarious. He was powerful beyond reason, and vicious to boot. Eventually he was defeated, and all the evil he did came undone,"
"And that's the short version," Jeff said.
"So this Lucas kid is as powerful as Ness and Ninten?" Teddy asked.
"Yes, and he is a very good friend. Before Ninten, Lucas, and I separated we used a move called PK Trinity. It was omega level, and was powerful enough that we could sense each other through time,"
"How is that possible?"
"I figured it out. It's actually a psychic wavelength that travels around the globe forward and backward around the planet. The wavelength moves so fast that it travels through the time stream from which way it's going simple," Jeff said.
"Heh yeah simple," Ninten said scratching his head.
"So this connection alerts you about the others?" Ana asked. Ness nodded. "Do you feel anything Ninten?" she said turning to him.
"Kind of, but I can't remember what exactly," he responded.
"So back on topic you said you sensed Lucas's connection fading?" Loid said. Again, Ness nods.
"But, it's not the first time either. He's being fading a while now. But, the weird thing is he fades then comes back the same, and another thing is the fading periods get longer and longer. It's really got me worried, and to top it off I can feel his PSI getting stronger," Ness said.
"Sounds quite serious," Paula said.
"But, why didn't you say anything sooner Ness?" Poo asked.
"Well, everything's been so great these past months, and I didn't want to drag you guys down with worries," Ness said.
"Well that's pretty thoughtless of you. Lucas is our friend too," Paula said. Ness started to look and feel even worse. That's when Ninten put a hand on his shoulder. Ness looked at him. Ninten's friends were star struck.
"We'll help him okay just snap out of this funk," Ninten said. For some reason he preferred him happy and annoying. Ness flashed a slight smile.
"One problem how do we plan on traveling through time?" Ana asked.
"Yeah, I doubt that guy will be around to give us another lift?" Teddy said.
"Well, maybe my dad can help, but it's a stretch," Jeff said. They all nodded. They got out the booth then went outside the pizza parlor. Suddenly Poo's eyes narrowed then he stopped. Paula is the first one to notice.
"Something wrong Poo?" she asked.
He responded by giving Ness and Ninten a PSI shove. This knocked them both to the ground. Before anyone could question his actions rapid laser fire hit the ground kicking up smoke. Ness and Ninten were separated from the others. Ness and Ninten got up to look for their attackers. Suddenly two gold Starman appeared behind them. They grabbed them both, and before they could power up they disappeared. Finally the smoked cleared for the others. They looked to see Ness and Ninten were gone.
"Where did they go?" Teddy asked. They looked to Poo who just shrugged.
"I sensed an attack coming aimed at them," he said.
"Hurry and follow me to my ship. We may be able to get some help from my dad," Jeff said dashing off the others close behind.
(Somewhere else)
Suddenly a vortex appeared with a loud bang. Two beings fell out on the other. Both groaned.
"That was a wild ride," Ness said.
"Will you get off," Ninten complained. Ness got up and helped Ninten up.
"Where are we?" Ninten asked.
"Don't know exactly, but I'm sure I've seen this place," Ness said.
"Ness? Ninten?" came a voice from behind them. They both turned to see a boy. He had on a stripped shirt like theirs, but his was yellow and teal. Shorts like theirs also, blue shoes with long white socks, and a swirl of dirty blonde hair.
"Lucas? No wait…Claus!" Ness exclaimed running up to the boy. They exchanged a handshake though Claus's shake was a little too strong. Ness forgot about his semi robotic arm.
"It's good to see you guys!" Claus exclaimed.
"You…too," Ninten said unsure.
"Oh, Ninten this is Lucas's twin brother Claus," Ness said. Claus gave him a look.
"Ness, stop playing around Ninten knows me,"
"Actually his memories are now the ones that are a little messed up,"
"You're kidding me," Claus said a little annoyed.
"I wish, but it shouldn't be that tuff since he's still the same he just doesn't remember what happened eight months ago,"
"I see. Kind of weird that our is synced,"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean the same amount of time has passed for us as well,"
"I guess I never really thought of that, well how you and Lucas been,"
Claus gave a heavy sigh.
"Not good?" Ness asked.
Claus shook his head. "Come on in," Claus said. Ness and Ninten had landed on his front yard.
'Odd that we landed here of all places,' Ness thought.
They went into the house to Flint resting at the table.
"Hey dad look who's here," Claus said. Flint jolted up, but calmed down slightly a bit in disappointment.
"Hey kids Ness and Ninten was it?"
They both nod. "Good to see you again," Ness said. Ninten merely nodded.
"Where's Lucas?" Ness asked getting to the point. Both Claus and Flint let out a heavy sigh.
"Something wrong?" Ninten asked.
"We wish we knew the answer to that question," Claus said.
"We've been all over the place, but couldn't find him," Flint said.
"That's why your so beat huh, but when was the last time you saw him?" Ness asked.
"This morning," Claus said taking a seat. He motioned for Ness and Ninten to also sit. They both did.
Ninten glanced out the window. "But, it's almost sunset,"
"We know," Flint said.
"What in the world is going on?" Ness asked. Before they could answer there was a knock at the door. It was very heavy and excited.
"Whoever is knocking really wants your attention," Ninten commented.
Claus stood up then walked towards the door. "Hello…oh my gosh," Claus was shocked.
"Claus could ya help me urg he's getting really heavy," said Fuel. He was carrying Lucas with Lucas's arm around his neck. Lucas was unconscious at the moment. His entire body was covered in cuts and bruises. His clothes were covered with dirt, and pieces of wood. His normally straight blonde hair was messy and flat. Claus getting over his shock and took the other side of Lucas to help Fuel. They brought him over to the couch and sat him down softly. Ness, Flint, and even Ninten came over worry on their faces.
"What's going on Claus? What happened to Lucas?" Ness said. Fuel took a seat to rest for a moment. Everyone else followed his lead. Claus looked his brother over. He clenched his eyes shut then turned back to Ness opening his eyes again.
"Okay, I'll explain…" Claus started.
