Triple Threat Reformed part 10
"Stopping the Unstoppable,"
The group began shooting through the time stream at breakneck speed. Moving at the speed of light down the path with Nefarious leading the way. He had on a serious look on his face as if ready for something big. He looked back at his "allies" to see similar looks, but no look was more different then Lucas's. Sure, everyone knew his position in all this, and knew he had everything to gain and lose from this fight. Nefarious smirked and then pointed his hand forward to open up the path they needed to take. This wasn't his second time traveling when he gets bored he tends to jump from time stream to time stream. He knew just how long it took to get to a certain point in time. Everyone was able to squeeze through the portal. They appeared outside the time stream as a small red orb. The orb grew in size until it exploded leaving behind the group of time travelers, and their slap together time machine. They appeared in a forest setting.
"Where are we?" Kumatora asked.
"This is Ninten's time period, if the Starmen plan on doing something then this would be the root time period. This time period is where it all began," Nefarious said.
"I recognize this…these are the woods by my house," Ninten said.
"Then we're close to Podunk?" Ana asked tugging at her new clothes. All the girls while Nefarious was recharging changed into more fitting battle gear. Ana is wearing a bright red tight pants, tight sleeveless shirt to match, and her hair is in a ponytail. She ditched her hat for the moment. Ninten wouldn't stop staring.
"Apparently, but what I wanna know is why?" Loid asked.
"I doubt the Starmen would strike in such a small setting," Jeff said.
"I agree Ellay is the biggest city I know of so lets start there," Ninten said.
"Well, I just wanted to ask something Ninten," Nefarious said.
"What?" Ninten said challengingly.
Nefarious ignored his tone. "If my memory serves me right I believe you had George's diary correct?"
Lucas eyes shot open. "Poppa George!"
"Poppa?" everyone questioned.
"T-That's what I called him," Lucas said scratching the back of his head awkwardly.
"What did you call this Maria person?" Duster asked. Lucas flinched at the name. "I see still too soon to be thinking about her, forget I asked,"
"I sense favoritism," Ninten said folding his arms smirking.
"N-No its not that…its just…uh…I can't fully remember," Lucas finished sadly.
"And that's why we're here," Nefarious said. "Lucas needs to see that diary,"
"But I read through it a bunch of times, and I still have questions. Some of that stuff I couldn't figure out," Ninten said.
"Maybe Lucas may learn something about himself, ya know besides being a monster reborn," Paula said. Paula is wearing a bodysuit. The pants went just below her knees, sleeveless top, and pink trainers. She has her hair in a ponytail as well, but she kept her bow. Ness also couldn't stop staring, along with Nefarious.
"I'm kinda missing the point of this venture, didn't we already relax?" Kumatora asked. She is wearing a blue body suit that went as far as the sweater she wore before, with her pink boots, and blue fingerless gloves.
"Yes, which is why I think some should head on over to Ellay. I have no doubt the invasion will begin there. The bigger the crowd the better," Nefarious said.
"Separate? I'm not sure about that," Claus said.
"Well it's Lucas's past he should decide," Nefarious said discrediting himself from the conversation. Attention shifted to Lucas, who instantly felt uncomfortable.
At least that part about him has not change. Funny, thinking of a shy Gigue/Giygas. "I wonder if he's shy naturally?" Paula asked Ness while giggling.
"I wanna know, but now isn't really the time though. The diary can wait for now…but I'll get back to it," Lucas said determined.
"The reason I brought that to your attention is because the Starmen know all about you Lucas, and you're completely clueless. They could tell you anything to destroy you, or they might have some knowledge about you that you do not. I was only giving you a smidge of a fighting chance," Nefarious said offhandedly.
Lucas smirked. "Thanks Nefarious,"
Nefarious only looked at him then looked away. He has the ability to care, just as much as Ness does.
"Well lets head to Ellay then," Teddy said obviously getting antsy.
"Alright lets go," Nefarious said. He raised his hands above his head. "PK Teleport!"
In a flash of light they were gone again. They reappeared in a burst of light on top of a building.
"Whoa, how did you do that without a running start!" Ness asked.
"It's called skill,"
Ness only huffed at him then turned his attention to the view in front of him. He gaped. A battle is definitely being held here.
Starmen were all over the city marching and blasting everything in their path. Giant Starmen were also apart of the battle. A few of the local forces and the military are doing their best to subdue them, but everyone knew that they were no match for the Starmen. High in the sky they saw a whole armada of ships, flying saucers to be more specific. Behind the saucers a giant spherical shaped object sat. It looked almost like a mechanical moon, but it has bright blue lights covering it and it looked to be made of some form of metal.
"Finally decided to show huh!" called a voice from above them. They all turned to look up to see the Starmen Elite. "Finally, the real show can start!" exclaimed Morph.
"It was foolish for you humans to get involved in this. This battle in general does not concern you. Our business is with the failed project," Mercury said. Lucas growled at him.
"Excuse my colleagues, they cane be quite rude. However, they are right. You humans don't stand a chance against us. Even Master Giygas shall fall at our might, and become what he's meant to be, a weapon," Nova said.
"He's more then that!" Claus barked.
"Oh?" Morph asked. "So does that mean we're more then simple weapons too?"
"Well…"
"Come on boy answer. If we cannot be anything more then a weapon used to serve the will of our creator, then what makes him so different?" Mercury asked.
Ness poked Lucas in the chest. "That right there is what makes him different, and you three just hunks of junk,"
"A heart? How clichéd…" Morph groaned.
"But it's a fact!" Ninten barked. "Lucas isn't some thing that can't feel. He's SOMEONE, and he's nothing like you guys,"
"Ha, you pitiful humans. You can't possible understand these things,"
"No, we understand it's you guys who are the fools!" Duster exclaimed.
"We understand this a whole lot better then you do, and I know for a fact the only reason you look down on us is because you can't understand it. You see us as a barbaric race, but we have just as much knowledge as you guys!" Ana yelled.
"Please," Nova said.
"I've been wanting to see how tough you so called Starmen Elite are. I'm gonna show you just how powerful humans are!" Kumatora said.
"I'm with you!" Paula said.
"Me too!" Ana said.
"Ooh wait a sec guys I wanna watch this!" Ninten said excited. Lucas rolled his eyes. He looked to Ness who had the same thought as Ninten. At that he just face palmed.
"You guys are idiots," Lucas muttered.
"Simple girls plan to fight us? How insulting, at least give us worthy opponents," Morph asked shocked.
"Oooh he really shouldn't have said that," Ness and Ninten muttered.
"WHAT!" the girls barked.
"Duster!" Kumatora barked. Without another word Duster quickly put in wall staples on the side of the building so Kumatora could climb up.
"Ninten!" Ana barked as well. Ninten cupped his hands as Ana placed her foot there.
"Are you-,"
"Just do it!"
Ninten then launched Ana into the air toward the Starmen Elite. Paula only needed to look at Ness, that's how well she got him trained. Ness copied the same thing Ninten did as he launched Paula into the air. Unlike Ana though, Paula added in a corkscrew back flip.
"When did she start taking gymnastics?" Ness asked himself.
In moments noticed all three girls were fighting toe to toe with the Starmen Elite. Paula bashed a chunck of the building into Mercury's head using telekinesis. Kumatora slammed both her fist into the visor of Nova, and Ana stomped on top of Morph. All three girls held their own quite well. Morph changed into a wild ape. The ape brought its fist back ready to crush Ana.
"Finally, a form that matches your personality to a 'T'," Ana said as she leaned back enough to avoid the fist completely from touching her.
"When did she get so flexible?" Ninten asked himself.
"PK Thunder!" Paula cried shooting at Mercury who was quickly thrown the ground.
"PK Shot!" Mercury exclaimed shooting out burst of energy from both his wrist cannons. Paula then performed cartwheels, somersaults, and tight corkscrew flips to dodge them. Paula got close then grabbed his visor.
"PK Thunder!" she yelled. At such close range the attack was quite effective. Mercury recovered quicker then expected, and went for a straight jab. Which Paula batted away without a single thought. "You punch like a boy,"
Kumatora in all was ruthless. She brought her shin into the neck of Nova. Nova slid on his feet then shot out a powerful stream of energy from his visor. Kumatora just leaned her torso out of the way. Then in a flash she responded with a PK Freeze. If found its mark right into Nova's shoulder. Kumatora quickly charged forward then struck with a flat palm strike that shattered the ice, and his arm. Nova, although he has no face, was panicked.
"I'll tear you to pieces for underestimating me!" Kumatora barked as she punched him right in the chest.
Nova fell back on his feet, but was ready for a counter attack. He opened his chest and began to charge.
"PK-,"
"PK Freeze!" Kumatora said beating him to the punch. Kumatora froze over his cannon. Although he had the power of the sun inside him, it still took time to melt this ice, and that amount of time was not going to be given. Kumatora then ran up to him then punched him straight in the chest. "Still think we're weak,"
She then tossed him over her head toward the center of the building. Morph had changed himself into Ninten in order to overwhelm her. However she didn't faultier in the slightest. Morph went for a straight jab, but Ana quickly moved out of the way. She grabbed his wrist then put her back toward him. She then slammed her free arm's elbow into his stomach. Then turned as she sent the back of her fist into his face, then as a kicker she pushed her palm flat then pushed out a psychic blast. This knocked Morph into Nova.
"PK Torrent!" Paula cried summoning a rush of water toward Mercury, however he held strong and was unaffected by the attack.
"Pathetic, do you think I would rust?"
"No, I just wanted to try this," Paula raised her hand ready to snap her fingers. Mercury was confused at first, until he realized. His body is all wet and this girl can shoot lightening.
"PK Sh-,"
"PK Thunder," Paula said as she snapped her fingers. Lighting danced down the water then hit Mercury full force. It was also a known fact that it's easier for electricity to travel through water then air, making it more potent. Paula then blasted Mercury with the others with a PK Fire.
"Ready ladies?" Kumatora asked.
"Yeah," both Ana and Paula responded.
"PK Freeze!" they all exclaimed. All three Starmen were frozen solid.
"Allow me. PK Ground!" Kumatora exclaimed. Kumatora slammed her fist on the ground summoning the ground to crush all three Starmen. Then all three girls blasted them with random PSI attacks until their heart was content. When they finally calmed down a bit they went back to join the others on the other rooftop who were still struck dumb.
"That was incredible ladies!" Duster said.
"Hmph, bunch of jerks," Kumatora said dusting her hands.
"What?" Paula asked a bit irritated at Ness who was staring.
"That…was…hot," Ness said gaping. Paula merely giggled.
"I'm not that same girl you had to rescue twice. Eventually one gets tired of being kidnapped," Paula said.
"Or seen as a weakling," Ana added.
"So…all this time you've been working out?" Ninten asked.
"This muscle doesn't just come from nowhere," Ana said smiling.
"I'm so hot for you right now…" Ninten muttered.
"Thank Kumatora, she was our inspiration to get our act together," Paula said.
"Can we focus?" Nefarious said interrupting. He obviously looked a little put off from the display the girls showed as well.
"Right, we need to get to the one in charge," Flint said.
"Right after we smash a few Starmen heads," Teddy said.
Instantly most of the group went down to the streets to face the threat. Claus was about to follow the rest to see Lucas staring into the sky.
"You coming?" Claus asked.
Lucas stared into the sky for a moment. "Yeah,"
Lucas followed after Claus down the building. Instantly a battle royale took place. Each person fighting their own wave of Starmen. Ninten smashed a Starman in half with a single punch. With Ana covering his back shooting out a PK Beam. Kumatora shot out a powerful PK Fire, while Duster covered her rear as performed an axe kick on top of another Starman's head making it cave in. Flint had smashed his 2X2 already so he has to switch to a pipe, with Boney covering his rear. Ness threw a Starman over his head as Poo slammed his palm in a Starman's head then finishing it off with a quick slash from his sword. Jeff and Loid each equipped with their Gaia Beam weapons shot out at each enemy that came too close. Since they fought from a distance Teddy volunteered to be the one to deal with the ones who were able to get close. Each fighter held their own with all there might. Instantly when they took to the battlefield the waves began to focus more on them. This allowed the innocent to be escorted out of the city by the local authorities. Things however we're quickly growing more and more out of control of they continued to fight.
Lucas and Claus did their fair share of damage as well. Lucas slammed his heel on top of a Starman's head shattering it, while Claus pierced another with his sword. Lucas jumped then shot out a powerful PK Love attack, but it shattered the moment it left his hands. His concentration was perfect, so he was flustered on how his most powerful attack was rendered useless.
"Lucas stay focused!" Ness said jumping in to kick away a Starman that was about to get the drop on him.
"Sorry," Lucas said as he blocked a punch from a another Starman from his right.
"You seem off, something wrong?" Ness asked raising a PSI shield to protect himself from a Starman's PK Fire attack. Paula quickly took care of that problem for him with her own PK Fire.
"This fight is getting out of control Ness," Lucas said as he threw a Starman over his head at the same time blasting another with his PK Strike.
"It was controlled to begin with?" Ness said as he dodged a charge by vaulting over another Starman. "There's gotta be a thousand alone in this whole city, and then some above us,"
"PK Heartbreak!" Lucas yelled forcing out his hands. A purple sphere appeared in his hand, and then he shot it out as a wide narrow beam. It literally annihilated an entire street worth of Starmen.
"Make that hundreds," Ness corrected himself. He looked over to see Nefarious fending off a entire wave all by himself.
"Watch yourself!" Lucas yelled as he performed a slice kick right into a Starman from who tried to get Ness from behind.
"You too," Ness said as he used PK Rockin to blast another Starman. "Lucas we need to work together!"
"Okay," Lucas said.
Ness and Lucas stood back to back as they began to charge up intense PSI energy. Due to their link they both were instantly super charged with energy. They jumped up into the air then point their hands down.
"PK Rain!" they both exclaimed.
As they did a whole mess of PSI spheres of energy came crashing down upon the crowd one after another decimating any Starmen that got too close. The Starmen decided to take the defensive and raised PSI Shields. Though they blocked all the spheres they were immobilized. This allowed Claus and Ninten to charge into the crowd. Though reckless, since they could very well be hit with the attack, it was very effective in fighting through their PSI Shields. However, the victory was short lived as a Giant Starman towered over them. It picked its giant foot up then proceeded to bring it down upon them. As it came down it was skidding across the edges of the buildings near by.
"I got it!" Ninten said power up his PSI. He raised his hands just as the foot came down.
"Oh boy…" Claus gasped.
Suddenly the foot began to rise slowly until it revealed a person underneath it. The Giant Starman's surprise was evident even with having no face. Ninten began lifting the foot higher. Lucas ran over to help. He didn't know if his strength was anything compared to Ninten's, but he wanted to help. The shocking thing was that the Starman's foot was much lighter then he suspected. He practically took all the weight off Ninten. Ninten gasped in shock when he realized he barley had any of the weight anymore. He looked over to Lucas, who was having a much easier time in handling it.
"Take it out," Lucas said.
"Oh yeah right," Ninten said. Ninten left the hole that was left then turned to Ness. "I gotta start working out if I wanna keep up with Lucas, and if I wanna remain the strongest on our Triple Threat Team,"
"Right so you ready?" Ness asked.
"Yeah!" Ninten exclaimed.
Ness grabbed Ninten's wrist and vice versa. Ness used his PK Power to activate his flying abilities. (Levitation in overdrive). Being the fastest he was in the lead, then Ness and Ninten began their PK Ring Around. In a mixture of blue and red they became a buzz saw that was able to slice right through the Giant Starman's head, then they cut him right down the middle. Lucas used the remains of what he has left of the giant to slam on top of other Starmen. Lucas then left the appendage behind to turn his attention to everyone else. The battle was quickly turning in their favor in such a short time. He wouldn't say because of his power, but in truth that was the clincher. The Starmen were fighting a losing battle, it was just that simple. Lucas watched as his friends tore them apart one by one. Then again they were taking on a whole armies worth of grey Starmen, the lowest class of Starmen. Lucas turned his attention skyward to look at the moon shaped object. He knew it must be something important, and it also struck him as something familiar. He couldn't quite place it. All he knew was he needed to get up there in order to really end this.
Suddenly Lucas was shot in the back by a laser attack. He collided with the ground face first. The attack didn't do much anything, aside from annoy. Lucas lifts himself off the ground to face his attacker, but then his face falls. He sees a black Starman, with a purple visor. However, what really shook his world as all whole armies worth of Gold Starmen, with a few different Starmen of some kind. His memories reveal them to be Starmen Deluxe, although he can't remember what was so great about them.
"We request your presence on our home world," it said.
"What?" Lucas questioned.
The black Starman approached him slowly, but Lucas was quick to react. Lucas launched himself at it, but the Starman reacted faster and quicker then his demeanor gave him for. He viscously struck Lucas in the face with its fist. With it's other hand it forced Lucas's face straight into the concrete shattering it. Then it threw him into a car. Lucas rubbed his face then opened one eye to face the Starman.
"I suggest you come with me without a fight. No harm will come to you if you do it our way, however if you resist you will come battered and beaten," it said. Obviously making sure the point was he was going with it.
Lucas was not going to give in. Lucas rose to his feet then charged at it head one. He fired his PK Spark attack. All three burst however failed to do any damage since the Starman just vanished.
"You always leave your left side open," came its voice as it slammed it fist right into Lucas's side. Lucas was sent rolling, but he rolled onto his feet.
Lucas charged up his PSI, and instantly paid for it. He was shot in the stomach with the same laser as before but three times more powerful. Lucas was plowed into the ground. The pain he felt was incredible, and confusing at the same time.
"Although you can control your PSI on a whim, your charge up time is extended. You frequently have to charge up before each attack, more so then most," said the black Starman.
Lucas waved his hand to unleash a PK Strike wave. The Black Starman raised a PSI shield to block the attack. Then it dropped the shield then swung its arm to the right shockingly he struck Lucas right in the stomach. It didn't stop there though. It grabbed Lucas hair then slammed his face into the concrete over and over again. It kept going until it broke Lucas's face through the concrete into the sewer system.
"Your favorite attacks when backed into a corner are faint attacks, and you perform them with perfection. Giving a strong attack that the opponent will have no choice but to defend against or dodge then coming in from the side to deal the finishing blow," it said. It threw Lucas to the ground as Lucas tried to come to terms with the amount of pain he's in.
Claus noticed the new wave of Golden Starmen and was instantly too overwhelmed to go see to Lucas. He had noticed the battle and felt an alarm go off in his head. Ness fought his was to Lucas, with Ninten by his side of course. They sensed the tension Lucas was feeling, and the dread. They didn't feel so comfortable with Lucas in such a position. The Black Starman picked Lucas up by the neck holding him in the air.
"H-How…?" Lucas started.
"Surely you would've guessed. You're blueprints of course," Lucas's eyes widened at what it said.
"His what!" came Ness voice was he approached with Ninten by his side.
"Project G: Giegue, and Project Voyager: Giygas. Their blueprints have been saved and copied onto my hardrive. We are aware that we lack the power to challenge you Giygas or Giegue whichever you prefer. However, we have your mind, your knowledge, and everything that makes you, you. I.e. your blueprints,"
"So what, that was the old Lucas," Ninten said.
"Silly human, flaws are flaws. He was not designed to overcome them. Flaws are designed as fail safes in most things such as Giygas. The flaws he had 200 hundred years ago, is the same ones he has now,"
"Lucas you okay!" Ness called.
"He will be unresponsive for some time. The blows I delivered to his head have served its purpose. He cannot take too many blows to his head because of a lack of resistance he has,"
"Wait a sec…" Ninten began as he looked closer at the Starman. "It was you! You're the one who lead the attack at my hometown Podunk,"
"Indeed human, I however was not leading the attack. You may have ran across my master,"
"Then tell us who your master is, and tell me where Star is," Nefarious said walking on the group.
"My such insignificant creatures all barking orders on someone far above them,"
"Take a look that army of yours and tell me how insignificant we are,"
The Black Starman did and saw the Golden Starmen were almost completely wiped out. The only thing keeping them around were the few Starmen Deluxes that still functioned. The crazy thing was not only were the PSI fighters in battle, but also other people from all over. Everyone was fighting; this shocked the Starman quite a bit.
"Interesting…"
"You may've been built to handle anything Lucas can dish out…" Ness began.
"But you aren't even prepared for what we can do," Ninten finished.
"I beg to differ, and I shall prove it," The Black Starman pressed a button on his arm, and suddenly Lucas vanished in a flash of light.
"Lucas!" Ness yelled.
"His safety is the least of your worries at this point," The Black Starman said darkly as Black PSI energy began to swirl around its metallic body. "I was designed to stop the unstoppable and I have succeeded. You cannot defeat me,"
"We ourselves have stopped the unstoppable, so we don't find that very impressive," Ness said charging up into his PK Power mode. Following Ninten and Nefarious. Ness gained his crimson barrier, as Ninten gained his blue, and Nefarious his blood red color.
"Prepare to die by the hands of Darkness Starman!" it exlcimaed. Charging the three.
"Another one for the trash heap!" Ninten called.
"Think we can put our difference aside to take this guy out?" Ness asked Nefarious.
"Just don't get in my way,"
"But we have the same way,"
"Shut up and fight," Nefarious said charging alongside Ninten.
Ness then brought up the rear to face the Darkness Starman, and bring an end to this battle for the power of Giygas.
