Um...don't look at that...Just read the chapter already!
Tazmily's Defense Meets the Chosen Four!
Chapter 6: Enjoy Your Stay at Fourside
The inside of the Sky Runner mark four was enormous despite its small exterior. It was very roomy where everyone could have their own space. Around it were many monitors and various devices. In what was considered the front of the ship was where Jeff sat piloting the spacecraft. As everyone chatted among themselves, Ness, Paula, Jeff and Poo discussed a somewhat more important topic.
"It's getting late. We're going to need a place big enough to stay for the night." Jeff said to the three.
"I don't think my mom would have enough room for all of us to sleep, so Onett is out of the question." Ness said.
"There's no way we can go back to Twoson as long as the police think I'm a criminal, so Twoson is also out of the question." Paula sighed.
"The Sky Runner mark four won't be able to reach Dalaam and with teleportation messed up at the moment, we can't get there." Poo said. Dalaam was the kingdom where Poo stayed.
"Isn't Winters boarding school a year-round school Jeff?" Paula asked.
"It all depends on the parents." Jeff answered. "If a parent wants to spend time with their kid during a break, like summer break, then they can take their kid out. Ever since we saved the world, Dad has taken me out and we've spent more time together. Even so, I don't believe Maxwell would be ok with this many guest."
"Well where can we go? We can't fly all night." Ness thought aloud.
Poo then had an idea. "How about Fourside?" he suggested.
As soon as the words were out of Poo's mouth, Paula and Jeff looked at Ness. Ness wasn't a big fan of going to Fourside, especially after the kidnapping-Moonside turn of events.
"As long as we are careful, I don't mind." Ness said after reading everyone's thoughts.
"The Fourside it is!" Jeff cried as he steered the Sky Runner mark four in the direction of the big city. "Now where will I land this thing?"
"As long as we don't crash, I don't really care." Ness smirked.
"Hey we only crashed three times!" Jeff pointed out.
"And who was driving each of those times?" Ness pointed out.
"…Never mind that, point is I'm a better driver now."
"Whatever you say Jeff, I believe you."
"We can land in the desert right outside of the city." Paula suggested.
"It makes sense since the desert is cool at night." Poo added.
"Ok we'll land in the desert." Jeff said.
Meanwhile Ana, Teddy and Pippi were discussing their current situation.
"Where exactly do you think Ninten and Loid ended up?" Teddy asked the two.
"Well I think there is some sort of pattern involved in this." Ana said. "You ended up in Summers because you love the beach. Pippi ended up with you because she mimics you a lot. I ended up in Twoson because I like a nice change of the weather instead of being in Snowman all the time. Perhaps Ninten is somewhere quiet and Loid is with some great scientist."
"But maybe it's just a coincidence." Pippi said. "We don't know for sure if it's a pattern or not."
"We just have to hope it is." Teddy said. "Next time, let's just walk to Ninten's house instead of teleport."
"Now you know we all live too far from each other to do that." Ana said to him.
Not too far from this group, Tazmily's Defense Force, along with Flint, were trying to figure out how Picky could be related to Porky.
"I don't see how that kid could even be related to him." Kumatora said pointing to Picky, who was asleep in a corner.
"Well for all we know he could just be putting on an act." Duster suggested. "He could be another Porky for all we know."
"I don't think Picky has the heart to be evil." Lucas said.
"But you heard the family he came from, it may only be a matter of time before he snaps." Flint said.
"Woof. (He's been enduring it for a long time. Flint makes a good point.)" Boney barked.
"I don't even think he has the brains to be as sinister as Porky." Duster said.
"One can only hope he won't snap." Flint said as they all stared at Picky.
Just then the Sky Runner mark four could be felt landing. Everyone looked out the nearest window. There was sand as far as the eye could see. Near the front of the ship a gate could be seen.
"Attention all passengers, we shall now be heading over to Fourside for the night." Jeff yelled, which woke up Picky. "Thank you for flying aboard the Sky Runner mark four. Have a present night."
As the crew walked off the ship and headed through the gate leading to Fourside, they stopped when they saw a trash can in the middle of the road.
"Who leaves a trash can in the middle of the road?" Kumatora asked as they approached it.
"This is new, even for us." Ness said, checking the trashcan. "It looks like an ordinary trash can. A person of the right size could hide in it." Ness then opened the trash can. Ironically, it was practically empty. The only thing in it was a pair of glasses.
"Nothing's in here except for some glasses." Ness said as he put the lid on it.
Teddy picked up the trash can. "Well no sense in leaving it here." He threw the trash can. Everyone stared at him as the trash can rolled into town.
"Teddy what if someone gets hit by that?" Ana asked as they started walking along.
"Then I'll pay for their hospital bill." Teddy grinned.
Ana sighed as they walked into Fourside. Fourside was a huge city filled with bright lights. Buildings and skyscrapers where so tall that none of the group could see where they landed. Not many people where out because Fourside wasn't safe at night. Often UFO's could be seen at the top of buildings at night, so people who believed this stayed indoors at night.
"We should head over to the hotel now." Ness said. "Fourside isn't safe at night."
"What's so bad about it?" Lucas asked.
"Rumor around here is that at night mysterious figures come and grab you. They take you to the alternative side of the city, Moonside. It's said that once you go there, you can't come back, because you don't want to leave." Ness then noticed Lucas starting to shiver. "Only I don't fully believe this because I went there and came back."
"He also came back with a girlfriend." Jeff couldn't hide his laugh as they walked into the hotel.
"And I regret nothing." Ness smiled at Paula, which made her blush.
The hotel lobby seemed to be empty as they walked in. They saw that the T.V. was off and the lounge was closed. The man at the counter seemed to be eyeing the group with suspicion as they approached him.
"Hello sir, we'd like to have rooms for the night." Ness told the man.
"Ok and how many of you will need a room?" asked the man.
Ness did a quick headcount. "Thirteen please." He said.
"Ok, one of you shall have a room to yourself. Here are your keys." The man gave Ness seven keys. "Your rooms shall be on the third floor in the left wing. Thank you for choosing Fourside hotel and enjoy your stay."
As Ness and company walked over to the elevators, Ana noticed a trash can in the corner. She looked in it. The only thing in it was a pair of glasses.
"These look like Loid's glasses…" She thought to herself. She shrugged off the feeling and put the lid back on the can. She then walked over to the group.
However, what no one saw was that the lid removed itself from the trash can, and the glasses seemed to float out of the can. The floating pair of glasses headed up the stairs.
"Ok, so everyone pick a buddy to pair up with, and the last one without a buddy gets the room to themselves." Ness said as they walked to the left wing. At that moment Paula walked up to him. "You don't even have to ask Paula." He winked at her.
"Hey Boney, would you like to accompany me in a room tonight?" Flint asked his dog.
"Woof! (I don't see why not!)" Boney barked softly as he walked behind Flint.
"He said he will Dad." Lucas translated.
Kumatora walked over to Duster. "I'm guessing you want a room to yourself, don't you Duster?" She asked him.
"Of course, that's why I'm hoping no one asks me." He replied.
"Then I guess I'm with Lucas." She tried to hide a smile as she grabbed Lucas' hand. "We're going to have some fun tonight."
"What kind of fun?" He thought to her.
"Something you're going to enjoy." She thought back.
Lucas blushed a bright red.
Pippi walked up to Picky. "Excuse me Mr. Picky, could I stay with you tonight?" She asked him.
Picky looked at her. "I don't see why you can't. And please, call me Picky, I'm only ten."
Pippi looked at him with amazement. "You're ten? Oh man you are soo lucky! I wish I was ten so I can stay up late and go places by myself and get over my fear of ghost!"
Picky smiled at her. "I wouldn't call myself lucky, but being ten is fun when you look at it from the right angle."
"Shall we share a room Jeff, since Ness and Paula have already decided that they're together?" Poo asked him.
"Sure, I may need your assistance in fixing this broken camera." Jeff said.
Ana noticed that the only people left were Duster and Teddy. "I guess I'm with Teddy." She sighed.
"Oh please, don't act like you won't love it." Teddy grinned.
"Remember Teddy, I have a boyfriend." She eyed him suspiciously. (Paula was relieved to hear this.)
"And remember I'm seventeen and you're fourteen. You just wish you were older so you can have this."
"What exactly is there to have?"
"Oh you'll understand in time."
"Ok let's get into our rooms before someone sets something on fire." Ness said as he gave everyone a key card. As soon as everyone had a key card, the groups went into their rooms and shut the door.
Once again, no one noticed the pair of floating glasses.
-Ness and Paula-
Ness eyed Paula as she sat on one of the beds with a mischievous grin. "Not that I don't enjoy your company Paula, but I have to know. Why were you so eager to share a room with me?"
Paula motioned for him to sit down next to her. Ness, not really having much of a choice, walked over and sat down next to him. As soon as he did, Paula pushed him down onto the bed and laid on top of him. This made Ness blush as his hat fell off his head.
"So we can have that kissing session that I promised." She whispered seductively.
Ness grinned as Paula pressed her lips against his. She rubbed one hand through his black hair and placed her other hand on his cheek. Ness placed his hands around her waist.
(AN:This is rated T you perverts!)
-Boney and Flint-
Boney ran into the room as soon as Flint opened the door and jumped onto a bed. He pointed to the remote with his paws as Flint closed the door.
"So you want to watch a movie boy?" Flint asked as he walked over and picked up the remote.
Boney nodded his head as Flint turned on the T.V.
"These things don't seem so bad." Flint said quietly as he flipped through the channels. Boney then started barking wildly as Flint reached a show called "Dexter's Laboratory". Flint put the remote down and sat on the bed. Boney then jumped onto Flint's lap and laid there as the two began watching the show.
-Kumatora and Lucas-
Kumatora watched as Lucas stared out the window. "You're wondering what type of fun we're going to have right?" Kumatora asked him.
"Well yeah. I don't think this is going to be like a regular game." Lucas said, still staring out the window.
Kumatora smiled. She loved the fact that Lucas was clueless about this kind of stuff. However she was two years older than him, so she could understand if Flint didn't give Lucas "The talk".
"We're just going to sit together and watch a movie." She said to him. Although it wasn't what she originally planned to do with Lucas, she decided to wait until both he and she were on the same page.
Lucas turned around and smiled. "That does sound fun." He said as he walked over to her. "You could have just said that."
"Yeah, but it is fun to see you blush. A girl can't have a little fun with her boyfriend?"
"I'm not saying that, but I'd like to have some fun with you too."
"What kind of fun do you have in mind?" She asked as she picked up the remote off the dresser.
Lucas walked over to her and hugged her. He stared into her eyes, which made Kumatora feel…strange. "Just some fun with my girlfriend." He whispered. He then gently placed his lips against hers as he pulled her closer to him for a loving kiss. Kumatora closed her eyes as she dropped the remote. Once again, Lucas had kissed her. Even though it was their second kiss, she felt as though they had done this many times.
He gently placed her on the bed. He then picked up the remote and turned on the T.V., not saying a word. This left Kumatora stunned.
-Pippi and Picky-
Pippi and Picky were jumping on the beds. "Isn't this fun?" She laughed.
Picky smiled. He never really got the chance to be a normal ten year old. He had to admit, this was fun. "This is really fun!" He laughed with her.
Pippi then gave him an evil grin. "How about we make it more fun?" She asked in a seductive tone.
Picky shuttered, for she used the same tone that his mom used on captain strong. "What kind of fun?" he asked with a hint of fear in his voice.
She turned around. "Oh, nothing special. Just a little game I like to call…" She then smacked him with a pillow, causing him to fall off the bed.
"PILLOWS OF DOOM!" She shrieked.
"No fair, you got a cheap shot." Picky cried as he picked up a pillow. He lunged at her and the two then started pelting each other with pillows, laughing together like two best friends.
-Jeff and Poo-
Jeff and Poo stared at the camera. It seemed to be smashed into pieces.
"Exactly how will we fix this?" Poo asked him.
"I've tried to fix it, but every time it breaks as soon as it's touched." Jeff sighed.
"Maybe you should just buy a new one."
"A new camera cost $150, there's no way I could afford that. I'm better off trying to fix this one."
"What happened to it?"
"I…accidently sat on it."
"Maybe you're missing a piece then, like a screw or something."
Jeff stared at the remains of the camera. "I'm not going out in the night to buy one."
"Then we'll go and buy one in the morning, for now let's just relax." Poo said as he grabbed a magazine out from the drawer.
"Look at this, someone left a copy of "Female Fighters" here. This month's issue too." Poo examined the cover. He then noticed the picture and his jaw dropped.
"What issue is it?" Jeff asked.
"It's issue #296, but you'll never guess who's on the cover."
"Who?"
Poo showed him the magazine. Jeff's jaw dropped as soon as he saw it as well.
-Ana and Teddy-
Ana looked out the window. "I hope Ninten and Loid are ok." She said.
"I'm sure they'll be fine Ana." Teddy assured her. "Those two are tough enough to take care of themselves."
"I know, but still, they could be out in the cold with no food or water, and may even be attacked by animals.
"They won't just sit there and let animas attack them, but they should be ok for just one night without food and water."
"I hope you're right Teddy."
"Trust me, I-"
Just then a knock on the door interrupted Teddy. Ana walked over and opened it.
(.com/watch?v=EnsLzijguI8 more music)
The pair of glasses was floating in front of her. Ana stared at the glasses. She backed up, scared of what may happen. Teddy, noticing this, walked up next to Ana. "Looks like we have some unwanted company." He grunted.
The pair of glasses floated near the two.
(.com/watch?v=CO6MwfIW3fE even more music. Kinda obvious if you listened to the first.)
[Glasses drew near!]
[Ana-123Hp]
[Teddy-150Hp]
"I get a strange feeling from this." Ana said.
"Didn't Ninten say he got attacked by his lamp once?" Teddy asked.
"Yeah I remember that…" Ana smiled.
-Flashback-
"Hello sir! May I interest you in some fine and rare goods?" asked the salesman.
"Depends, what are you selling?" Ninten asked.
"Why I am selling this…" The salesman pulled out a blue, dusty lamp. "This rare lamp."
"HOLY CRAP IT'S A LAMP, EVERYONE RUN!" Ninten cried as he ran back into the town of Ellay.
"Ninten!" Ana called after him. "It's just a lamp! It's not going to kill you!"
"But it certainly will try!" Ninten called back as he ran.
"That kid has some serious issues." Teddy laughed as he watched Ninten run.
-End of flashback-
"Now I know why he's scared of lamps." Ana sighed.
"Well this is no lamp, but I say we just smash it!" Teddy cried as he threw a punch at the glasses.
[Teddy's attack!]
[Glasses took 68 damage!]
The glasses made a noise that sounded like a person crying in pain.
[Glasses let out a painful cry!]
Ana ignored the cry and decided to follow up with a punch like Teddy.
[Ana's attack!]
[Glasses took 39 damage!]
"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP ATTACKING ME!" Came a voice.
[Glasses yelled at Ana and Teddy!]
"Wait I know that voice." Ana said.
Just then, a boy appeared out of nowhere. He had on a red shirt and blue shorts. He wore black shoes and had white hair. He wore the same glasses that attacked Ana and Teddy. He was holding a device.
"Are you trying to give me a concussion?" The boy asked.
[The glasses dissapeared and Loid suddenly appeared!]
"Oh my god I'm sorry Loid." Ana apologized.
Loid rubbed his head. "I was just testing my new cloaking device. It still has some problems since you two could still see my glasses."
"So when I looked in the trash can…"
"It was me in there, hiding in case some stranger came by."
"Well kid, why did you hide in a trash can?" Asked Teddy.
"Force of habit." Loid stammered.
"Well come in, you can sleep here with us." Ana pulled him in.
Next time, the gang head over to threed for a carnaval!
