Tazmily's Defense Force Meets the Chosen Four!
Chapter 3: A fan's request
As the Nine heroes walked along the path into the town of Onett with Picky behind them, they each talked about their experiences on their journeys.
"So you had to collect melodies just so you could enter your mind?" asked Duster.
"Yeah, it was one thing I didn't understand for a while." Ness said. "After some time I realized that in order to unlock my true power I had to travel to the depths of my mind. I didn't think I'd literally have to do that!"
"And exactly what does Giygas look like?" asked Lucas.
"It's probably best if you don't know." Paula said with a hint of fear in her eyes.
"Hey I want to know too!" Lucas exclaimed.
"If you must know…" Poo sighed as he pulled out a picture.
"Don't do it Poo!" Jeff yelled.
But it was too late. Lucas had already taken the picture from Poo and he, Kumatora, Duster, Boney and Flint were all staring. Jeff shot Poo a disappointed look. Poo merely shrugged as they kept walking.
"In all my days of fighting, I have NEVER seen a thing that scary." Duster started to shiver.
"How could you fight something like this?" Lucas asked amazed.
"Even I wouldn't take on that thing." Kumatora admitted.
"Whimper… (Now that's something you don't need to see…)" Boney whimpered as he walked along by Lucas.
Flint was the only one who didn't say a word. He had his head down as they walked.
"Poo, where in the world did you even GET a picture of Giygas?" Paula asked.
"Let's just say I know a guy…" Poo didn't look at Paula as he replied.
"Maybe we should talk about something else…" Picky suggested from the back of the group. He had already seen Giygas thanks too Poo.
"Well I know the perfect topic!" Ness exclaimed as they walked into town. "Guys, welcome to Onett!"
Onett was an upbeat little town. Taxis could be seen riding through the town. Kids were seen running around in yards. Everyone seemed to be wearing a smile on their faces. Some kids were dressed like Ness, only none of them had the exact same clothes as him. One kid had on green shorts instead of blue. Another had on a white baseball cap instead of red and blue. Another one had on grey and black stripped shirt instead of yellow and blue.
"Exactly why are all these kids trying to dress like you?" asked Flint
"That's something I want to know too." Asked Paula, eyeing Ness.
Ness chuckled as they walked past the drugstore. "If a legendary hero who lived right on the outskirts of your town was celebrating the week he saved your life, wouldn't you dress up as him?"
"I guess, but these kids are so off." Paula sighed.
"Well so are the Mr. Saturn." Ness said. "We should probably ask them about this time machine to see what they know since it looks like them."
At that moment two kids ran up two Ness and company. One was a boy who had on a blue and orange hat, a red and green stripped shirt, light blue shorts, and purple sneakers. The other was a girl who was dressed like Paula. She had on a violet dress with matching shoes. She wore a blue ribbon in her hair.
The boy examined Ness closely. "See Val, I told you we were off with the clothes!" he sighed as he pointed to Ness and Paula.
"Well we certainly are very close Nick." The girl called Val said.
"Who are these tykes?" asked Duster.
"These two are Nicholas and Valerie. They are my biggest fans in Onett." Ness smiled as he spoke. "Isn't that right Nick and Val?" He asked the two children.
"Of course it is Ness!" They both shouted together.
"I like your outfit Val, it's really cute!" Paula exclaimed.
"Thanks Paula, Nick picked it out for me." Val was grinning from ear to ear. "We wanted to look like the most famous couple in Eagleland."
Ness and Paula blushed at this, for they were the most famous couple in Eagleland. However they weren't mobbed by paparazzi like most stars because they always threatened to use their psi. When that didn't work Ness would always use Pk Flash to get away.
"Ness, I saw your match against Dr. Mario yesterday!" Nick exclaimed. The tournament Ness was in was aired all over Eagleland and every other dimension. "Congrats on winning! You're still ranked number four in the rankings however."
"It's ok Nick, I'm still in the top five." Ness assured.
"Yes but the goal of each fighter is to be ranked number one! And if you want that, you have to beat the Ice climbers, then Kirby, and then Mario himself!"Nick said. Nick was a big fan of Super Smash Bros.
"Well maybe one day I'll be at the top. But I'm on vacation right now. Until school starts up again none of us will be fighting."
"What? But why would you guys stop the most popular show in the world?"
"Fighters need their breaks too."
"Aww…" Nick pouted. "Can we see one more fight? Please?"
"Nick, I'm pretty sure Ness is tired. Besides, he's hanging out with his friends." Val pointed out.
Nick's face brightened up. "Hey! How about you fight one of them!" he exclaimed.
Ness looked at his old and new friends. "I don't know, I can't hurt these guys, they're like family to me."
"Pretty please Ness?"
Ness sighed. It was obvious he wasn't getting out of this. "As long as it's not Paula." He said after a few moments.
"Scared you will lose to me Ness?" Paula smirked.
"No, but I'd never forgive myself if I hurt you." Ness smiled at her.
"Oh Ness-"
"Can we hurry it up? I wanna see Ness fight!" Nick whined.
"I'm sorry for my boyfriend's behavior Ness." Val apologized.
"It's ok, but who will I fight?" Ness asked as he looked at his friends.
"I'll do it; I've always wanted to fight Ness." Jeff stepped forward.
"Okay, we have a fight on our hands!" Nick exclaimed. He then deepened his voice as he said "First one down loses, anything goes, and no psi since Jeff doesn't know any!"
-A few minutes later-
Just outside of Onett, Ness and Jeff stared each other down.
"Three…" Nick yelled.
Ness and Jeff did not move.
"Two…"
"Good luck Ness, I hope you won't be upset after I beat you." Jeff smirked
"One…"
"Jeff, I won't hold back too much." Ness smirked.
"GO!" Nick yelled.
(AN: Anything in "[ ]" is my attempt to copy Earthbound style battle! Enjoy a little music as you see thes two buddy's fight! watch?v=SqA0TMP9BcE )
[Jeff attacked!]
[Ness-804HP]
[Jeff-459HP]
"You can do it Ness!" cheered Paula from the distance.
"Do your best Ness!" Poo called from the distance.
"Ness show him who is boss!" Picky cheered along with Paula.
"Come on Ness, don't slack off!" Nick cried from afar.
Ness chuckled as he was surprised how quickly everyone had taken sides. He decided to start off with a simple attack. He lunged at Jeff.
[Ness attacks!]
Jeff took the attack like it was nothing as he pushed Ness back.
[108HP of damage to Jeff!]
Jeff then pulled out his favorite weapon: a heavy bazooka. "I hope you can handle this!" Jeff exclaimed as he fired at Ness.
[Jeff fired the heavy bazooka!]
Although Ness was fast, he could not dodge the bazooka and was hit. Ness stumbled back as he took the impact head on. He never expected Jeff to be this strong.
[506 HP of damage to Ness!]
[Ness-298HP]
[Jeff-351HP]
Before Ness could get up, Jeff had launched a bottle rocket. "you can do better than that, can't you?" He taunted.
[Jeff fired the bottle rocket!]
Luckily Ness had managed to dodge the blast, but he narrowly dodged it. "Of course I can do better!" Ness responded as he dodged the rocket. "I'm just on a restriction!"
[…Narrowly missed hitting the target!]
"Go Ness!" Cheered Lucas.
"Jeff, Jeff, Jeff!" Kumatora cheered.
"Jeff, show him he's not so tuff!" Duster yelled.
"Woof! (Come on Jeff, smack him!)" Boney barked.
Flint was the only one who didn't cheer, however he had a grin on his face.
Ness then charged at Jeff with his bat at hand. He took a swing at Jeff's stomach.
[Ness attacks!]
However Jeff had tried jumping out of the way, causing him to get hit in his 'area'.
[SMAAAAASH!]
[314 HP of damage to Jeff!]
Jeff howled in pain. Ness wanted to stop and see if he was ok. Then he remembered that Jeff was smart. Jeff could have been faking the pain so he could get close to Ness and fire an attack. Then again, it was Jeff's fault for trying to dodge at the last minute.
[Ness-298HP]
[Jeff-37Hp]
Jeff could barely stand up as he pulled out a multi bottle rocket. "Don't think I'm giving up so easily Ness!" Jeff could barely be heard. If Jeff had one thing other than brains, it was determination. Ness new Jeff was going to fire it, but he was pretty sure he could dodge them and deal the final blow. While Jeff had great determination, he lacked endurance.
Jeff had mustered up the energy to fire the multi bottle rocket. He tried to think of a way to follow up the attack, but he couldn't think of anything.
[Jeff fired the multi bottle rocket!]
Ness knew he could easily avoid the bottle rockets, but he couldn't avoid all of Jeff's attacks. He then got an idea. Ness ran head on towards the bottle rockets. He had one more trick up his sleeve. He ran straight into the rockets, causing an explosion.
[571HP of mortal damage to Ness!]
Jeff smirked. Even though Ness was strong and smart, he sometimes made rash decisions. Even Ness couldn't survive a blast like that.
Suddenly a rock had appeared out of the smoke and was heading towards Jeff.
[Ness used the rock!]
[Ness threw the rock at Jeff!]
Jeff didn't have enough time to avoid the rock. The rock had hit Jeff in the stomach.
[42HP of mortal damage to Jeff!]
Jeff was surprised. He never thought Ness would have tried to hit him with something so simple. It only proved that Ness didn't need psi to fight. Jeff smirked as he fell to the ground.
[Jeff got hurt and collapsed…]
Ness walked out of the smoke with many wounds on his body. He smiled. Knowing Jeff, Jeff wouldn't have expected him to pick up a nearby rock and throw it. If Jeff had seen him, he would have time to dodge the rock.
[YOU WON!]
Ness could barely stand as he looked at Jeff. Jeff was a real good friend, fighter, and rival.
[It was a good experience!]
Ness walked over to Jeff. Jeff couldn't stand up, for he had fainted. Ness placed a hand on Jeff and used psi healing γ on him.
[Ness used psi healing γ!]
[Jeff was revived!]
As Jeff stood up everyone gathered around the two.
"I knew you could do it!" Paula knocked Ness down as she hugged him.
"You did great Jeff!" Poo patted Jeff on the shoulder.
"Not often you get knocked out by a rock." Kumatora smirked.
"I still need to practice on endurance, but I'd say I did pretty well." Jeff smiled.
"Pretty well?" Nick repeated. "THAT WAS TOTALLY AWESOME!" he cried. "Now Ness should fight Paula!"
Val had grabbed him by the ear. "Ok mister it time to get home and leave Ness alone." She dragged him away.
"No no no no no no no! I wanna see Ness fight Paula!" Nick whined as he was dragged away.
"There go two energetic kids." Flint said, speaking for the first time in a while.
"There's only more to be seen." Paula chuckled.
"Come on, Twoson is the next town, it isn't far from here!" Ness exclaimed as he marched off. It didn't take long for everyone to follow him as well.
Next time, the gang reach twoson, where Paula is treated like a star!
