Triple Threat Reformed part 8
"Unlimited Power, or a Friend,"
"Hurry guys!" exclaimed an exasperated Paula.
"Yeah who knows what happening to them!" Ana added.
"Calm down you guys were going as fast as we can!" Jeff exclaimed flustered.
Currently Jeff and Loid were working on a slapped together time machine, based on….well they don't really have anything to go on. Jeff and Loid work frantic while both blonde girls hassele them endlessly. Both of them moving in blur motions trying to get the machine ready. It was narrow looking wormhole. Both sides looked like the entrances of small caves. Jeff was screwing, and tightening, while Loid connected, and wired. Both were getting really tired from all the moving around, and kicking their super brains into high gear. After Ness and Ninten were sucked into another time portal, the left behinds went to the Saturn Valley where Dr. Andounuts stationed his lab, with Apple Kid as his assistant. Dr. Andounuts had ideas, and theories about time travel, but the one time machine he had proved fatal to humans. So of course modifications had to be made. Poo and Teddy simply sat on the sidelines and watched with sweat drops as the two young geniuses worked.
"Wow, they're really running ragged," Teddy commented. Poo nodded. "Aren't you worried about Ness and Ninten? You seem calm,"
"They're perfectly capable of handling themselves, I have no doubt in them. Why do you ask? You didn't want to be the only one worried about them?"
"Whatever, I was just asking," he said folding his arms. As they both sat watching the chaos in front of them unfold Poo suddenly felt disturbed. He shot up from his sitting position. He glanced around. "Something wrong?"
"I sense something…"
A second later a red orb of light appeared, then expanded letting out a bright flash of light in the center of the valley. Everyone averted their eyes from the flash. When the flash died down they looked to see not only Ness and Ninten, but the whole gang from the future. They became ecstatic, Paula and Ana rush Ninten and Ness. Ana glumps Ninten while Paula does the same with Ness. However, Paula did not feel that Ness was happy to be hugged. He actually shifted a little awkwardly, like he had never been hugged.
"Uh, Paula," Ness started.
Paula realized that Ness's voice didn't sound from the mouth of the Ness she was hugging. She looked to the left to see Ness standing and waving shyly. She blinked a couple times. She looked over to see Ana had indeed hugged Ninten, so it finally registered who she was holding in her arms. She jumped back in fright.
"Nefarious!" she exclaimed. She raised an eyebrow to see Nefarious had a bit of a blush. They were the same person after all. "What do you think you're doing here!"
"I…" before Nefarious could utter a word Poo struck him down. Nefarious quickly got to his feet to see Poo coming back. "Hey cut it out!"
"You have no right to be here!" Poo said swinging a roundhouse kick that Nefarious ducked underneath. Poo ducked underneath a punch then went for a sweeping kick, but Nefarious quickly hopped above the attempt.
Nefarious began to step backwards, but only to be shot in the back by a laser. He fell forward onto a knee. His eyes squinted in pain, he looked back to see Jeff and Loid with laser blaster ready. Nefarious didn't give them another chance, he leaped out of the way before another shot could hit him. When he touched down Teddy had rammed into his with his shoulder. Nefarious went to the ground, but landed on his hands. He pushed off right when Ana shot out a PK Freeze attack. He landed in a crouched position, his body shaking. Everyone then charged toward him.
"Hold on!" Ness said warping in front of Nefarious. They all halted their respective attacks. "Guys stop,"
"What are you talking about? That's your evil twin, ya know the one that tried to kill you, and practically everyone else!" Jeff exclaimed.
"Yeah, and he's the one who brought us back," Ness explained. The others eye Ness curiously.
"They don't think you, are you. I guess they think you may be a Starman," Nefarious said from his position on the ground.
"Trust me guys it is us. Nefarious is really weak right now, so he wont be much a problem,"
"Hard to notice, doesn't seem like he lost a step," Poo said. He barley was able to land a hit on him.
"Guys, he's me remember. I'm sure he's familiar with your moves which is why he did so well," Ness assured. He turned to Nefarious. "You could have been a little less show off-y,"
"Well you could've jumped in sooner," Nefarious responded. At that Ness was quiet. "Listen, I barley have enough energy to stand right now, let alone hurt anyone. Besides in case that little display didn't show you allow me to tell you. I am Ness at his full potential, and non of you come close to that,"
At this he gets glares from everyone. "Nefarious shut up. He's with us," Ninten said. Everyone still looked unsure. "Anybody got a problem with it come see me!"
At this everyone was quiet, and their unsure looks became sure. "Good, Nefarious got us through time, but we might need to get back to Ninten's time. Nefarious doesn't have the energy to do that right now though. So we either wait until he gets power back, or…." Ness notices the contraption that was being made. "Could we use that?"
"This slapped together time machine?" Ana asked.
"It was the best we could come up with on such short notice," Jeff moaned.
Lucas took a look around the machine. He looked it over with the bit of interest, and curiosity.
"What are you doing?" Loid asked. Lucas didn't even acknowledge the presence of everyone else. Loid felt even with Lucas's shy nature, and being able to relate, he never was just flat out rude.
"It's slapped together alright, but better then nothing. A few quick fixes and it could work," Lucas said.
"How do you know about machinery?" Jeff asked completely agape. Lucas came from a time where they just got electricity. How would he know anything about machines?
"Well Jeff we learned some pretty crazy things about our 'friend' Lucas during our trip," Ness said. The way he said friend was weird. Lucas pretended not to notice.
"Like what?" Paula asked. She gave him a quick hug since she accidently hugged the wrong one. This one blushed too.
"Uh, well, maybe he should explain, besides I only got rough details," Ness looked to Lucas. Lucas's body tightened, but then relaxed.
"Okay, I guess I didn't fully explain to you guys either," Lucas said referring to his crew.
"I think you guys are just trying to be dramatic," Teddy said.
Lucas turned to everyone his eyes turned a piercing red. A few stared uneasily under his gaze. "I'm afraid all that I speak is not a dramatization,"
"My, what is all this about?" Dr. Andonuts asked. Ness, Ninten, Lucas, and Lucas's crew had gotten so used to seeing him tan, that the pale look almost surprised them.
"I will explain," Lucas began. "Over the past eight months since we last saw each other, I've been dealing with something. Another side of me, it hungers for battle, destruction, and death. An animal that craves bloodshed and sadness. Taking lives, or twisting them,"
"A craze side of you? That sounds crazy in itself!" Jeff exclaimed, but one look in Lucas's eyes made him reconsider.
"Hard to believe, but true. It turned out that I've lived with it my whole life, which is actually a lot longer then just 14 years. My life span apparently dates 200 hundreds or so years ago,"
"Wait, you want us to believe your over 200 hundred years old!" Apple Kid exclaimed.
"This hasn't always been my form. I've had previous ones. Ya see in other words I'm an alien from outer space from some planet somewhere in the galaxy. I was created to be a perfect weapon. Built with knowledge of the universe, power to destroy a planet, and never ending life,"
"Is he serious?" Fuel asked Claus. Fuel had not heard this part of the story. Claus grudgingly nodded.
"A weapon, you want us to believe you were created from aliens, to be a weapon that never died," Teddy said. He couldn't help but sneer. "You know how crazy you sound,"
Lucas thought for a moment. He noticed the dagger on Teddy's side. Using his PSI he grabbed the dagger out of its sheath. He took it in his hands then held it backwards.
"H-Hey, what do you think you're doing!" Teddy yelled.
With an unflinching face he lifted his shirt and threw it to the ground. Lucas then drove the dagger straight into his chest, into his heart to be exact. Everyone stared at him, some in horror others in shock.
"Lucas!" Flint yelled. He began to run over, but Lucas raised a hand to stop him.
"I-I'm fine," he stuttered out. It didn't kill him, but that didn't mean it didn't hurt. He pulled the dagger out which was covered in blood. "Sorry about getting so much blood on your dagger,"
Lucas took out a cloth then cleaned off the blood. He handed it back to Teddy, who shakily accepted it. Everyone stared at Lucas, whose face flashed with pain then settled for comfort. Everyone just stared.
"As I said, nothing can kill me," The wound in Lucas's chest just began to melt away, in steam. He didn't even need PK Heal!
"What the hell are you!" Teddy just spat out.
"Now my story doesn't sound so crazy does it?" Lucas smirked. Kumatora stared for a bit. Lucas caught her gaze, and realized he still had his shirt off. "Sorry," he said picking his shirt back up.
"Wow, those were some muscles…" Kumatora muttered. Indeed, they were so great every girl was blushing upon realizing they were staring at them. Lucas had a perfect six back, or eight pack, broad shoulders, and the muscles on his arms were almost the size of his head. Lucas got his shirt on covering up.
"Don't wanna make anyone jealous," Lucas smirked. Ninten looked away from him not even an amused smirk, nothing, just an angry look. Lucas caught this look and Ness's who's was a bit more subtle. He decided that such banter wasn't going to make them feel better about who he was. "Well, there was you're proof believe me now?"
"Indeed, but how we're you able to do that? I mean it would take a lot more concentration for any of us to pull out Teddy's dagger like that. While you only flicked your wrist at it, and it came right to you without the slightest bit of concentration," Poo asked.
"Yes, you see while you must concentrate your PSI to a certain part of your body to unleash it in certain way, I do not. See it's like this, you guys have to focus hard because the PSI power gene inside all of you resides in one place. That place in your body is different for everybody, and where it is determines the type of power you will have. This gene is made of pure PSI and is the one and only source of PSI in your entire body. That is your source,"
Poo gaped at this knowledge, well everyone did really. No one really knew the science behind PSI. "Now what makes you special?" Loid asked getting more curious then freaked out.
"I do not have one PSI gene, I have a countless numbers of them. All throughout my body, making my entire internal system pure PSI energy. I can focus it on a whim, and with little concentration,"
"Okay, I believe," Ana said.
"You had me when you stabbed yourself," Jeff said.
"Truly remarkable," Dr. Andonuts said. "I mean such a complex system would take an incredibly intelligent entity to build!"
"Yeah, who was your creator?" Apple Kid asked getting really excited.
"My past is a little hazy. These are the memories that I've been missing for so long. The Starmen have them, and I want them," Lucas said through focused eyes.
"Is that so?" came a voice. Everyone turned to the high part of the valley where all the caves were. The Saturn's all scattered and fled in fear to a safe place. Their stood high on the structure was a red Starman. "Master Giygas,"
"And who might you be?" Ninten asked.
"I am Nova the most powerful of the Star Elite," The red had sharp spikes out its back, hands, a round circular spot on its chest that might hold something, and it seemed to be glowing.
"Ah, the final one. You guys have been getting on my nerves," Nefarious said. He tried to get up, but just couldn't summon the strength. "What have you done with Star!"
"She is where she belongs. She has completed her first mission, and I am here to guarantee the next step is followed through,"
""Whose Star?" Paula whispered in Ness ear.
"A little girl that Nefarious takes care of," he answered. Nefarious glared at Ness for his answer, but chose not to say anything. Not like it was lie.
"What would this next step be?" Dr. Andonuts asked.
"Well that's the part you'll have to figure out. Now Master Giygas, lets see if my design is superior to yours," Nova said. Suddenly, it leaped off the cliff high into air then toward Lucas at such speed Ness was shocked. Somehow though Lucas avoided the fist that Nova brought down into the ground.
"Leave it to me, make sure to protect the machine," Lucas said.
Nova charged toward Lucas still traveling at unbelievable speed. Lucas jumped back in time to avoid a punch that slammed into the ground. Lucas then leaped forward then kicked Nova in the head. It recovered quickly then expanded it's spikes on it's back to extend forcing Lucas to fall back for a follow up attack. Lucas activated his PK Power.
"PK Love!" Lucas exclaimed.
Nova simply slapped the attack away, shattering it. "When will you realize that a creature such as you does not have this feeling of love, so why do you think you can hurt us with it?"
"Why has my PK Love attack been so weak lately?" Lucas muttered. He just couldn't understand it.
Nova came charging forward again. Lucas instead powered up with PK Power, but that's all he had time to do before Nova punched him in the stomach. Lucas was however prepared for the attack so the wind wasn't knocked out of him. Lucas then punched the Starman hard enough to send it flying then plowed into the ground.
"Lucas can really throw a punch," Claus muttered.
Nova continued to glow that bright red aura around its body. It charged forward then pushed out with its knee, but Lucas blocked it by crossing his arms. Lucas then pushed it off, then jumped up to hit it in the face, but Nova flipped backward then kicked Lucas into the air. Nova then planted its feet on the ground then opened up its arms. Its spike sunk into its body and its chest opened up to reveal a cannon.
"PK Sun!" Nova shot out a powerful burst of energy. Lucas was dazed by that last attack. He noticed the blast and created a PK Shield Gamma level. He crossed his arms to. The Shield shatter after a few moments, and Lucas went falling to the ground, his body covered in scratches and bleeding in some places. He struggled to stand. "It's all pointless in the end you know that,"
"W-What would make you think that way?" Lucas asked.
"You're the greatest power in the universe, so why bother with such trivial goal. Your mission was to destroy these creature not be their friend,"
"I know, but that's not what I wanted to do,"
"It only taste sweet now, but I'm sure you know it will get worse,"
"What makes you think you know anything about me," Lucas said on his hands and knees.
"Have you told them yet? I'd imagine not, they already see you as a freak," Lucas tensed at that word. "You're a freak on this planet, as simple as that. What makes you think that scientist doesn't wanna cut you open right now?"
"I wont let you use me," Lucas exclaimed charging forward.
Lucas pulled back his fist to punch, but Nova was quicker and forced his face into the ground. "Us use you? We still call you master. If anyone will use you it would be the humans. You noticed how they turned on you when you needed help more then ever. How you risked your life for the bettering of theirs, and now they shun you,"
"The villagers were scared, they didn't know what else to do," Lucas said standing back up. Nova got Lucas in a bear hug then its body began to heat up. Lucas began to wail out in agony. As his skin began to burn against Nova's metal.
"We've gotta help him!" Fuel exclaimed.
"Nothing can kill him remember," Ninten said.
"Ninten that doesn't change the fact he can still feel pain, we gotta help,"
"You don't get it, that's Gigue the monster that tried to destroy everything we know, and tainted the world with his evil!"
"Wait, Lucas is…Giygas!" Paula said a dark shadow on her face.
"Burn that bastard to hell then!" Teddy yelled in anger. Remembering the death of his parents was Gigue's work. Rage built inside him.
"Wait, Nova called him Master Giygas didn't he? I didn't hear him the first time, but now…" Jeff stood unsure with his blaster pointed down. Lucas quieted down his cries of agony, but the pain did not stop.
"See how easy they turn on you. These are the creatures you're fighting to protect? What happened eight months ago has been forgotten. All those times of happiness, and joy were thrown to the side for who you used to be, still are," Nova said. A bolt of lighting hit it in the back. He dropped Lucas to the ground, and then turned to see Claus. "All but one, but that still means nothing. He nor those others have any knowledge of your passed self. Their ignorance of it means nothing in the end,"
"The truth is we don't care, and neither should you guys!" Claus yelled.
Kumatora hit Nova with a powerful PK Freeze while Flint scooped Lucas up. Duster tossed a bomb at him, but that only did minor damage like the PK Freeze.
"Your word means nothing child since you have not experienced the fear and trauma of facing him," Nova said blasting Claus to the ground.
"G-Guys s-stay back," Lucas stuttered getting out of Flint's grasp.
"Guys come on!" Fuel yelled to the others. They just sat and stared, unsure.
"No amount of yelling will get through to them," Nova said.
"PK Bullets!" Lucas exclaimed. Nova raised its hand and a shield appeared which blocked each shot. Nova blasted towards Lucas again. He tried to grab Lucas's face, but he narrowly avoided it. "PK Strike!"
This blast hit Nova right in the back, but it came to stop with its feet. It turned then its fist stretched then slammed into Lucas's face. A part of Lucas's face was smoking from the heat of the attack. Lucas charged forward. Nova's visor glowed then shot out a burst of energy, but Lucas twisted in the air to avoid it. He then pushed out his hand then used his PK Pierce. At the last second Nova opened his chest. Lucas attack went inside the canon, but it didn't come out the other side. Instead it backfired at Lucas knocking him back, and into a tree knocking it over.
"I don't get why you wont help him! I want to, but Lucas would never allow it. Lucas needs help," Claus pleaded. Ness and Ninten looked away from Lucas's pain. Duster and Kumatora did all they could to help out, as did Boney. "So, Nova was right?"
"Yes, he was Claus," Nefarious said. "I would help but I lack the energy. Only someone with the PK Power technique can bring him down. These two bare too much hatred for it to outweigh the good Lucas has done for them. I mean Lucas was always a burden anyway, they always protecting him, encouraging him, being there when he needed them, and always being worried for him. They must've finally got tired of caring. Now that they know the truth Lucas means nothing to them now,"
"He wasn't…a burden," Ness muttered.
"Oh, so he was just dead weight then,"
"No…"
"He was weak, and lacked so much strength that he needed you guys to help him win. Oh, I see this is just selfishness is it?"
"We're not selfish!" Ninten spoke up.
"I think you guys are the worst friends ever!" Claus yelled. This got their attention. "This Gigue and Giygas guys sound bad, but why can't you realize that although they are the same, they aren't. I know it. When Lucas and I was younger he used to be so distant. He'd separate himself from the family. He'd do odd things like stare in the mirror for a really long time. He chose to be this way, and you're holding his past mistakes against him. I refuse to believe Lucas as evil, and I'm pretty sad that the two guys who did so much for him would drop him without the slightest bit of hesitation,"
Ness and Ninten looked at Claus then each other. They looked toward the battle. Kumatora hit the ground hard after an attack from Nova. She got a burn on her shoulder. Nova shot out a powerful burst of power from his cannon at Duster, but Lucas pushed him aside and took the attack for him. Lucas slammed into the ground. Nova made spikes appear out of his foot. They were also super heated, and brought them down on Lucas's back. Steam burst from Lucas, and he let out cries of agony unheard of. His whole body was shaking. Although his body could resist the heat, he was being overpowered.
"I'm well aware that all the power I have in my body wouldn't be enough to kill you, but I do have the mean to make you cry," Nova turned his attention the time machine. "Well we can't have you interfering with us, so allow me to get rid of this trash,"
Nova's visor began to glow. Suddenly though, something smacked its head in another direction forcing it to fire a laser off target. After that powerful blast of energy hit it knocking it off Lucas. Nova was thrown to the ground. Lucas began to get to his feet.
"Need a hand?" Ness asked reaching down to Lucas. Lucas stared at him dumbstruck.
"T-Thanks," Lucas said taking it. Ness pulled him onto his feet.
"Wow, you're kinda heavy," Ness said.
"Sorry,"
"Worry about it later, lets go help Ninten," Ness said running after Ninten toward Nova. Lucas followed after him.
Nova narrowly was able to block another punch from Ninten, who was going at him hard. Nova began glowing again, and then burst of energy shot out of its body knocking Ninten away. Ninten was plowed into the ground. Ness came to help him up.
"We're gonna have to work together for this one guys," Ness said. Both Ninten and Lucas nod at his side.
"It doesn't matter what you do you wont win. Master Giygas has the power to defeat me, but you two are only humans. You have no such power," Nova said.
"Don't underestimate us normal types," Ninten said.
Nova opens its hands then a swirling vortex began to gather in its hands. Flames began to flow all around its metal body. Ness, Lucas, and Ninten stood ready.
"Been a while since we actually fought side by side," Ness said.
Nova came charging forward surrounded in flames. Ness meet Nova head on with his PK Boom. Both attacks collide forming a giant boom. Both attacks were dead even, but both sides pushed back against the other.
"Come on Ness punch it!" Ninten exclaimed pumping his fist in the air.
Ness gathered all the strength he could muster then gave one powerful push that blasted right through Nova. Nova was sent into the air. Lucas immediately fired his PK Strike attack, but Nova opened its chest then sucked in the attack. It then fired it right back at him. Lucas wasn't prepared for that, but Ninten jumped in front of him.
"PK Convertor," Ninten said. He caught the attack with his bare hands then focused it into a powerful blast of energy. Nova opened up his chest again to take in the attack.
"How about this!" Ness exclaimed as he came charging forward ahead of the attack Ninten had fired. Ness shot forward right through Nova's chest. Ness burst from the other side, then flew off just before Ninten's attack made contact.
"Thanks…N-Ninten," Lucas stuttered. Ninten looked at him for a moment, then sighed.
"No problem," Ninten responded. Lucas then turned his attention to Nova then flew into the air. Ninten sighed again. "I guess she was right. Sometimes you don't choose whose close to you,"
Nova was heavily damaged so he came floating back down to the ground. Lucas suddenly appeared in a white blur then kicked him Nova to ground. Nova crashed into the ground. Lucas landed gracefully with a scowl on his face. Ness and Ninten stayed back for a moment.
"What a waste," Nova stated getting back up on his feet. "Living your life for the acceptance of lower life forms. It's like trying to fit in while at a flea convention,"
"No matter what you say it wont change my mind. These are my friends and I choose to protect them," Lucas said.
"Why do you delude yourself Master Giygas. You are so much more then this. These humans care little about you in the end. We've watched you for a very long time since you've been on Earth. We watched you, and we've watched them. They craze power, they want what you have. Do you really think they would accept you when you have something they want? They don't just fear your power, but their jealous of it," Nova explained.
"I'm tired of you ragging on us humans!" Ninten said shooting his PK Starbeam. Nova was barley able to jump out of the way of the attack. Nova looked to see Ninten and Ness. "We're not perfect by no means, but we're not simple either. Everyone on this planet is different in their own way. We can't fault others for the way they think, but by their actions,"
"Personally, I hate Giygas. I despise him with every part of my being for putting me and my friends through that hell, for a whole year!" Lucas flinched at those words, but then Ness's outlook grew soft. He pat Lucas on the shoulder. "But this isn't Giygas. This isn't Gigue. This is Lucas, one of my best friends. I'm so sorry I didn't realize that right away Lucas,"
"Of course I forgive you," Lucas said smiling. "But….do you forgive me? I have no right to ask for forgiveness for what I've done to you guys, but could you ever be able to?"
"Come on Lucas keep up, I thought you were supposed to have the knowledge of the universe in that brain of yours," Ninten said knocking on Lucas's head.
"We wouldn't have come to help if we hadn't, I'll admit I'm still skeptical, but I can push it aside," Ness said.
"How truly sickening. As you wish Giygas. You could've been apart of something so much greater then yourself willingly. Now we must go on with our plan," Nova intergected.
"Don't be such a hot head," Ness said.
"Your humor will fade as well as your life. You will see soon, but for now farewell," Nova said. Nova began glowing red then simply vanished.
"Crazy," Ninten muttered.
"Thank you guys. I really appreciate this, and…I guess we maybe ready to test out our PK Trinity again," Lucas said.
"Maybe, but listen Lucas I got a question," Lucas nodded to show he was listening. "Do the names George or Mary ring any bells?"
Lucas thought on it for a moment, then this sudden pain came over him. His head began pulsating, and the veins were seeable. Lucas's eyes began glowing an eerie red. He fell to his knees growling in anguish, pain, and sadness. All these emotions suddenly came to him, and it was simply too overwhelming. Lucas saw that image again.
"Momma…that image again...Momma Mary" Lucas muttered. Tears began to form in his eyes. "Ninten….I-I'm scared to think about it,"
"It's okay, so I'll take that as a yes," Ninten said bending down to his level. "I heard the story, but I guess I still have so many questions,"
"The past is awful you guys. Its…so terrifying. Imagine…all those years of being unable to feel emotion, then when you start to feel all those past feelings just come rushing at you. Ness, you thought you were scared, imagine being me in that position. I was unable to think, unable to reason, it was just like being dead but alive. It was an awful feeling, especially when I had to relive pass painful memories over and over and over and over again!" Lucas broke down. "I'm not as powerful as everyone makes me out to be. My body may be invincible, but my heart is weak. My PK Love shows it. I have too much grief and sadness. I really don't know if I can handle this,"
Lucas then felt someone's hand ruffle his hair. He looked up to see Ness smiling at him. "I bet it does hurt, and there's no way I can comprehend it, but don't worry,"
Ness said removing his hand.
"We're gonna do our best to help you Lucas. The first thing you have to do is be true to who you are. When you know who you are you may be able to face these memories," Ninten said smiling. "I finally have. I forgot about you guys, because it hurt to remember. It hurt knowing that I could never see two of the greatest friends I've ever had again. I forgot to deal with the pain. I can tell that's probably what you did too, but ya gotta face the pain. You have to swallow it,"
"Well Ninten being deep, and making sense tis a new day alright," Ness said. "Too bad its gonna be short,"
"Whatever Ness. I get why I don't like you now, your humor hurts. You try and get a laugh at the expense of others,"
"Don't we all?"
"In our own subtle way,"
Lucas smiled. "Ya know guys this is something I've wanted to say to you guys for a very long time. Thanks,"
"You're welcome!" They both said.
"We better head back. The others might get worried," Lucas said. He stood back up then walked back toward the center of the valley.
"Ya know I just realized something," Ness said.
"What?" Ninten asked.
"Lucas, doesn't have a scratch on him anymore, and those burns didn't do that much damage,"
"So, what's your point?"
"Well in between each attack and with how much Nova was talking it seems to me that Lucas could of handled this guy on his own," Ness said giving Lucas a look. Lucas began to look nervous.
"Yeah, you right, even if that guy was the strongest of the Star Elite, Lucas is stronger then all of them. Lucas could've trashed that thing," Ninten said also giving Lucas a look. Lucas smiled nervously.
"You little trickster you were pulling your punches to make us feel bad for you!" they both yelled. Lucas smiled nervously looking away. Ness and Ninten only sneered at him.
