Tazmily's Defense Force Meets the Chosen Four!
Chapter 7: Ninten to the rescue!
Ness woke up to a loud banging sound on his door. He glanced over to the clock placed on the dresser. It read 9:57 a.m. Ness did not like being waked from his slumber. It was early and he didn't want to get up yet. He was also still sleepy, for he and Paula stayed up until 4:00 a.m. He glanced at Paula, who was asleep in his arms.
"She looks so cute sleeping." He thought to himself. "I wonder if she liked it when I-"
Ness' thoughts were interrupted by more knocking on the door. Annoyed, Ness climbed out of bed and walked towards the door. He wondered who in the right mind would be up this early as he opened the door.
Ana and Teddy were outside the door. Ana had a box of orange juice in her hands and Teddy was eating a piece of toast. Next to the two was a boy Ness had never seen before. He was wearing a bright red shirt, dark blue shorts, and big glasses that covered his eyes. He had white hair and wore bright green shoes.
"Ness, I want you to meet Loid." Ana introduced.
Loid smiled at Ness. "Greetings Ness, I heard that you are assisting my friends in finding one another."
"Yeah and since we found you, that only leaves this Ninten guy." Ness quietly mumbled.
"Loid was hanging out in Fourside." Ana explained. "When he saw us last night he followed us here."
"Yeah that great. Why don't you go make sure everyone else is up while I get ready?"
"Ok, come on Loid. Let's go tell Pippi we found you!" Ana exclaimed, pulling Loid along before he could say anything. Teddy walked behind them, not saying a word; for he was too busy eating his toast.
Ness walked back to his bed. As much as he wanted to crawl back in it and go back to sleep, he knew they would be back and wake him up again. So he picked up his hat off of the floor and put it on. He then looked at Paula.
"Paula…" Ness whispered as he gently shook her.
"Ness…" Paula moaned as Ness shook her.
"Come on Paula." Ness shook her some more.
"Oh I'm coming all right…" She giggled.
"PAULA!" Ness knew what she was dreaming about.
As soon as he yelled her name, Paula sat up and started laughing. "Got ya! Thought I was sleep didn't you?" She gave him a playful smirk.
"Come on Paula, I've got something big planned for today." Ness said ignoring her question.
"Where are we going?" Paula asked, remembering what Poo had said yesterday.
"That's a surprise that you'll have to wait to find out." Ness smiled at her.
At that moment they both heard another knock on the door. Ness walked over to answer it. This time, it was Jeff and Poo.
"Ness, you got to see this!" Jeff cried.
"Jeff, what could be so important that you have to get me up this early to show me?" Ness asked, not hiding the fact he was tired.
Poo held up a magazine. Paula and Ness both looked at it in surprise. On it was a picture of Paula in pink swimwear. She held a beach ball in her hand and was smiling widely. In the picture she was winking, now she was blushing.
"Do you know that your girlfriend is exposing herself to the world?" Poo asked.
"Of course I do!"
"WHAT KIND OF BOYFRIEND ARE YOU? What guy lets his fourteen year old girlfriend ex-wait what?"
"You think Paula would do this without asking me if I was ok with it first?"
Poo and Jeff stared at each other with blank expressions on their face. Ness shut the door on them.
"How did they even get that?" Paula asked, still blushing. "I thought it wasn't coming out until later this month."
"Who knows? Maybe they attacked the editor for it." Ness laughed.
Paula laughed with him as she got up out the bed. She grabbed her ribbon off the floor and put it on her head. As she stared in the mirror, she noticed that Ness was holding something in his hands. He put it in his backpack and walked out of the room. Paula eyed him with suspicion as she walked out behind him.
-A few minutes later-
As they group of fourteen boarded the Sky Runner mark four, they discussed their next move.
"So where should we look for Ninty?" Pippi asked, walking next to Picky.
"I suggest we go to Threed." Ness said. "There's a carnival there and if he's been there, than it is most likely someone has seen him."
"We could use this as an opportunity to get to know each other better." Jeff suggested.
"And we can still look for Ninten at the same time." Poo added.
"If we split into groups of two, we can search around the carnival faster." Paula said.
"So pick a partner and get ready, because Threed isn't too far from here." Jeff said as he sat down. He then started up the Sky Runner mark four. As he did, Loid walked up to him.
"You built this yourself?" Loid asked amazed.
"I had little help from my dad." Jeff smiled. "I see you are interested in machines."
"I love machines! I love to invent things that will one day help others!"
"Well no one says that you can't. Perhaps I can teach you a few things."
"Oh my, I would be so grateful. Thank you so much Jeff."
"It's nothing really. We can talk about it more as we walk around the carnival. If you want to be partners, that is."
"You don't have to ask me twice!" Loid smiled at Jeff.
As everyone tried to find a partner, Paula walked up to Ness. She didn't say a word, for she was trying to read his mind.
"Oh, I'm going to love today." He thought to himself. "I really hope Paula likes this gift I got her." He then noticed her staring at him. "Wait why is she staring at me? Is there something on my face?" He started wiping his face. "I can't stare back into those crystal blue eyes. Not while I have this hidden from her." Ness then turned away from her. Paula smiled to herself.
"Next stop, the town of Threed!" Jeff yelled as he landed the ship. "Once again, we thank you for flying with us today. Have a wonderful day!"
As the crew walked off the ship, they noticed that they were in front of Threed. Threed was a town that didn't have very much. There weren't many houses or buildings. Most people came to visit a deceased one in the cemetery. However today the town was packed due to the carnival being hosted in the town. A tall Ferris wheel could be seen along with a roller coaster. Outside the gate to Threed were two policemen wearing pink uniforms.
As the gang approached the gate the two officers stepped in front of the gate. "Hole it right there." One said. "Show us your passes before you enter."
"What? This carnival is free!" Ness exclaimed. "It even says so on the flyer." He then pulled out a flyer and read it out loud.
Come one, come all!
It's that time of year again! Kids are out of school for the summer, Parents are planning more family time, and the fun is about to begin. And what better way to start it all off than coming to Threed's spectacular carnival? Bring your kids, bring your pets, bring your parents, bring your friends, bring the whole neighborhood! Admission is free, so come down to Threed, just southeast of Twoson and west of Fourside!
And come see our newest addition: The Love Tunnel! Perfect for telling that special someone how you feel!
One of the guards took the flyer from Ness' hands. "Look closer at the flyer." One said, pointing at a set of words that were so small they were hard to read.
Admission is free with a small payment of $15 per person for food, so come down to Threed, just south of Twoson and west of Fourside!"
Ness stared at the paper in astonishment as he read it out loud. He then got an idea. He walked up to the two men.
"Look, I really need to get in and ride the Love Tunnel with my girlfriend." Ness whispered so no one else could hear. "I'm Ness, and she's Paula, two of the members of the chosen four. Surely you'll let us in for free, right?" Ness didn't like using their popularity to get special treatment, but he really didn't want to pay $210 for fourteen people. He was unaware that Paula had heard him.
"Oh, so you're Ness!" exclaimed the other officer, speaking for the first time. "We have a very special present for you." The police officer then pulled out a button. As he pressed the button, a loud mechanical sound was heard. Everyone looked around to identify what made the noise.
Suddenly, a huge net had wrapped itself around the group. They were trapped together with no room for the psi users to use any psi attacks. They were all unable to reach their weapons. They squiggled and squirmed in an attempt to escape, but none of them could escape the net's tight grasp. The two men chuckled evilly.
"Hey! What's the big idea?" Kumatora cried.
The two men then pressed the symbol on their hats. A white light then covered their entire bodies so they were no longer visible. However their figures changed. They became a little shorter and a little fatter. When the light faded away, the two police officers were gone. Instead, two people dressed in pink pig suits stood where they were.
"Pigmask!" Cried Flint.
"Didn't you say they served Porky's army?" asked Poo.
"Some of them still do, even though he's trapped." Duster explained. "Most of them act like normal people since they don't believe they have to serve a king who is trapped in a ball. Others are still loyal to him however, like these two."
"How did they even get here?" Lucas asked. "This is a different time period."
Ana, Teddy, Loid, and Pippi looked at Lucas in wonder. "You mean it's not 1980?" They asked together.
"No, it's 199x right now." Said Jeff. "For you it's the future, for Lucas and his friends it's the past."
"And we are about to send you to the future." Exclaimed one pigmask. "Master Porky wishes to dispose of you properly."
"You didn't believe he wouldn't make a second time machine in case something happened to the first one?" The second said, pulling out a gold device. The pigmask then presses a button on it and turned some knobs.
As the gang tried to struggle free while the pigmask laughed at them, they were all unaware of the boy watching them from a distance.
The boy then leaped from his hiding spot and charged at the pigmask. He tackled the one holding the time machine, causing him to drop it. The machine rolled over towards the group. The boy then punched the second pigmask in the face, causing him to stumble back. He then rushed over to the group. He wore similar clothes to Ness. He wore a red, white and blue stripped shirt with a blue handkerchief. He wore a red and blue hat that looked exactly like Ness', only newer. He also wore light blue jeans and black sneakers.
"Is everyone ok?" He asked the group.
"Ninten! You're ok!" Ana cried.
"Ninty!" Pippi exclaimed.
"Ninten's alive!" Loid yelled.
"Well little Ninten can hold his ground for one day." Teddy smirked.
"Can we save the happy reunion for later?" Ness snapped.
The time machine started ticking loudly.
Ninten tried to free the gang. "Don't worry guys; I'll have you out of here soon." True to his word, Ninten had freed everyone from the net. As soon as he did, Ana rushed up to him and hugged him.
"Ninten!" Ana cried as he embraced her. "I thought something had happened to you. I was afraid I'd never see you again. I thought you may have been killed by an animal or something. I thought I had lost you forever." She cried in his arms.
"Ana, remember that promise I made? I said I'll always be with you as long as I love you. I still love you, so there was no way I would die without seeing you again." Ninten held her tightly.
As Ninten pulled Ana closer to him, the time machine then made a loud crashing sound. A bright light emitted from the machine. Everyone shielded their eyes, wondering what the machine had done. Lucas had a pretty good guess what had happened. Like the first time, he felt a cold draft. When he opened his eyes, He first saw Ninten and Ana kissing each other. Then he saw clouds going up towards the sky. He was not the first to notice this.
"I really hate time travel." Lucas muttered.
"You are not the only one." Kumatora muttered with him.
Before anyone could say a word, they crashed into a hill. Thankfully, no one was harmed. However, each had dropped all of their items.
Lucas got up and looked around. He was on sunflower hill. He saw Hinawa and Claus' graves at the top, and numerous sunflowers around. He noticed that the graves were emitting a green light. Lucas ignored this and assumed that he was seeing things. However he then noticed everyone else knocked out.
Lucas mumbled to himself as he attempted to drag everyone to his house outside the village, forgetting the fact that he could revive them.
Next time, the gang contemplate what to do next.
You will never guess who makes a surprise visit here!
