This idea I've had for a while and I had no way to fix it in. Enjoy as you watch him come back!

Tazmily's Defense Force Meets the Chosen Four

Chapter 8: He's back

On the island of Tanetane, the trees were orange, the water was red, and the ground was multiple colors.

"No…say it isn't true…" Kumatora cried.

"I'm sorry Kumatora, but I can't deny it any longer."

"But you said you loved me!" Tears rolled down her face.

"That was before I met Paula." He took Paula's hand. She merely giggled.

"Lucas is so charming; I understand why you liked him. He's so much better than Ness and well, I love him too. You just have to except the fact that you got dumped."

From behind Kumatora, Duster was laughing and pointing at her. "You got dumped!" He chuckled between laughs. He was not the only one laughing however. Ninten, Ana, Loid, Teddy, and Pippi were laughing at her as well. The seemed to be mocking her.

"But Paula…why? I thought we had something…" Ness was on the floor, bleeding all over his body. He was badly beaten. Ness crawled over to Paula and Lucas. He tried to stand up.

Lucas turned and kicked Ness in the face. Ness fell back and couldn't stand up. Jeff and Poo stood by watching the whole thing. Jeff had a look on his face that Kumatora couldn't describe. Poo seemed to be paying close attention, but didn't notice anything going around him.

"I won't let you take Lucas away from me!" Kumatora cried. Upon hearing this, Boney, who was standing by Kumatora the whole time, started growling at Paula.

"Jealous much?" Paula smirked at her.

Before Kumatora could retaliate with a response, Boney had lunged towards Paula with all his speed in order to bite her. However, Lucas jumped in front of Paula as soon as Boney got close, causing Boney to bite Lucas on the leg. Lucas however didn't even flinch. He kicked the dog away.

"Stupid dog. I always knew that you weren't very smart." Lucas said as Boney rolled across the floor. Boney whimper in pain.

"This can't be happening." Kumatora thought to herself. "It can't be happening. It must be an illusion. It must be a dream. It must be those mushrooms. It just can't be real."

"Kumatora…" Called a voice.

"No…no…no…" She muttered.

"Kumatora…" The voice called again.

"Leave me alone!" She cried.

"Kuma…"

Kumatora couldn't take it anymore. The pain, the heartbreak, all of it was too much for her to handle. She closed her eyes in order to attempt to stop the pain. Her body then started to glow a bright yellow. She could feel some sort of psi flowing through her body. She couldn't identify it, but it felt powerful. She could also feel her emotions swirl in her body. She screamed as she fired bolts of electricity out of her body, using the unknown psi attack.

"Woah!" cried the mysterious voice. A loud crash was herd and everything went white.

Kumatora sat straight up in a sweat. She started breathing heavily. She then looked around, noticing she wasn't in her castle.

"Thank goodness it was just a dream." She sighed as she relaxed. She then recognized the room. It was Lucas' room. She noticed the picture of Tazmily's Defense Force on his dresser. She then noticed his mirror, which he often spent a lot of time staring at. She then noticed a picture she never seen before. Next, she noticed his Franklin Badge, which he didn't like to wear for some reason he didn't discuss. Next, she saw the friend's yo-yo, which they "found" on their trip to thunder tower. Finally, she noticed Lucas, knocked back against the wall.

"Lucas!" she exclaimed as she jumped up and rushed over to him. "Are you all right?"

"Depends, is it supposed to be pigmask flying around?" He asked in a daze.

Kumatora pulled him closer and into a loving hug. However Lucas was too dazed to return the hug. "Oh Lucas I'm sorry, I had a nightmare and I us-"

"Don't worry about it Kuma." He said trying to stand up. "You just knocked me back with a psi attack, that's all. Just come downstairs, everyone's waiting." He struggled downstairs, but managed to get down safely. Kumatora said nothing as she followed him, wondering about the strange dream.

(An:Thanks goes to FromTheUk for the idea of Kumatora's nightmare! Go check out his stories!)

"So this is your time Lucas?" asked Ness as Lucas and Kumatora came downstairs. Ness and Paula were standing by the door. Jeff, Picky, Pippi, and Loid had taken seats on the couches in the living room. Ninten and Ana sat in the love seat next to the entrance to the kitchen. Teddy and Poo merely sat on the floor. Duster and Flint were leaning on the wall on the far side of the room. Kumatora took a seat on the stairs.

"Yep, welcome to the year 2149." He laughed nervously as he stood by Ness.

"Well we don't have time for sightseeing." Jeff reminded them. "We have to act fast and at least come up with a plan."

"Before we do that, who is this "Porky" you spoke of?" Loid asked.

"Porky is an evil tyrant who does evil for fun." Paula sighed.

"Apparently, he seems to have escaped the absolutely safe capsule." Duster said.

"So he can plan an attack at any moment." Flint said what everyone had been thinking.

There was silence for several moments.

"Shouldn't Porky be weak since his army decreased?" Lucas suddenly thought out loud, breaking the silence.

"Even so, it's not like he will be easy to stop, regardless of his shortened army." Kumatora reminded him.

"Woof. (Even so, we can't let him invade the island or the village.)" Boney barked loudly.

"We don't even know if he's even in New Pork City." Flint said. "He could be hiding on the islands for all we know."

"Porky isn't that smart to do that." Picky pointed out. "It'd take him a while to come up with that idea."

"This Porky guy sounds like a real baddy." Pippi said.

"We can't let him hurt anyone any more than he already has." Ana said.

"Perhaps we can stop him if we work together." Loid said.

"If we do work together, there's no way he can beat us right?" Teddy asked.

"There's only one way to find out." Ninten said, standing up. He then walked over to Ness and Lucas. "My team is with you on this; it seems you may need all the help you can get."

Ness smiled at Ninten. "I was going to say the same thing. We really do think alike." He then turned to Lucas. "The Chosen Four are also with you Lucas. We have some unfinished business with Pokey anyway."

"The chosen four?" Ninten asked.

"What like your team doesn't have a name." Ness gave him a rhetorical look.

"We don't have one."

"What? But every great team has a name!"

Lucas looked at everyone, who all had looks of determination on their faces. "They were right when they said I wouldn't be alone." He quietly said.

"Who was right?" Ness asked with a hint of confusion in his voice.

"My mom and brother, Claus." Lucas stared at the ground.

"Well where are they? Perhaps they could help us." Ness smiled.

Duster, Kumatora, Boney and Flint flinched as they looked at the two.

"…They're not here." Lucas quietly mumbled.

"Well let's go get them!"

"We can't…"

"Why not?"

"Because…they're up there…"

Ness stared at Lucas. He then chuckled slightly, which earned him a cold stare from almost everyone in the room.

"That's not a problem Lucas."

"Unless you can revive the dead, it is a problem."

"Oh but I can revive the dead."

Lucas gave him a disapproving look. Ness then started rummaging through his bag. "Lucas, did you get everything when you went to get our stuff?"

"Yeah, is something missing?"

"Yeah, two green mushrooms I had. Did you see them?"

Lucas thought for a moment. "No, I don't remember seeing any."

"Why does this keep happening to me? Why do I keep losing my items?" Ness groaned.

"Because you are nothing but a moron, pig's butt!" came an old, stubborn voice.

Everyone rushed outside to see who had spoken. Ness, however, didn't need to know who had called him that. When they got outside, a blonde boy was standing in front of them. His skin was a dark blue. He wore a red and blue stripped shirt that looked totally different from Ness' shirt. He wore dark pants that matched his dark shoes.

Ness walked up to the boy. "It's been a while, hasn't it Porky." He said coldly.

The boy laughed. "It has been ages, Pig's butt?"

"I've see you've become a king, who got trapped in a ball."

"Yes, but I have escaped using my genius, and now I shall have my revenge."

"Don't you think you deserve being trapped in there?"

"Not at all, dear boy. If I can master time travel and the secrets of immortality and even change my age at will, I think I am too great to suffer."

"You wouldn't have anything to do with my missing mushrooms, would you old friend?" Ness asked, calmly saying the last two words as if it was perfectly normal to be friends with a murderous king.

"Nonsense, I only found this rolling down a hill not too far from here." He smirked.

"And what did you do with it?"

"I set it on top of one of the graves." He then looked at Lucas. "Lucas, I'm sure you know that the 1-up mushroom can bring the dead back to life. I'm positive you know which grave I placed it on."

Lucas froze, having a pretty good idea on who was revived. Kumatora, Duster, Boney stared at him and Flint. Flint stared at Porky with disbelief as if what he just said wasn't true. Lucas stared at Porky with fire in his eyes.

"Where is he?" Lucas asked with a serious tone.

His tone surprised everyone, even Porky himself. "Come now Lucas, surely you want to answer my question first."

"Where is he?"

"Do you really think I'm going to tell you?"

"Where is he?"

Porky sighed. "Ok, jeez, no need to get so serious. Way to take the fun out of things." He then suddenly yelled. "Oh robot, come to me you strong son of a gun!"

At that moment, a bolt of lightning hit the ground, dividing the land between the heroes and the villain. A figure appeared inside the lightning. As the lightning vanished, a man was standing right where the bolt struck.

Actually, it was a boy. A boy Lucas knew all too well.

[The masked man suddenly appeared.]

"No way…" Duster muttered.

"It can't be…" Kumatora could barely say a word.

The boy wore a black shirt, orange pants, and steel colored boots. He had a grey cannon attached to his arm. He wore a helmet that covered his hair and forehead. A visor was over his right eye. In his hand was a golden sword.

"Grr… (Is it really…)" Boney growled, suspicious of the character.

Flint stared at the figure. "Claus…" He muttered.

Lucas almost broke into tears. "Claus…is it really you?"

[Lucas wanted to cry]

Lucas then wondered if Claus was under mind control again. He kept his guard up as he slowly walked towards the masked man.

[Lucas is guarding]

"Don't even try talking to him; he's a lifeless toy once more." Porky snorted. "Just as he should be. Now my servant, destroy them!"

The masked man didn't move. He fixed his gaze on Lucas.

[The masked man gazed at Lucas.]

He held up his sword in a stance that said he was going to attack.

[The masked man raised his sword up high]

He turned around to Porky. "I am not your servant." He said. He then waved his sword in a fancy like manner. As soon as he finished, a powerful lightning bolt struck Porky.

[The masked man launched an intense bolt of lightning at Porky!]

Porky however didn't even flinch. He merely laughed at the masked man's attempt to attack him. "Seems as if the mind control in your helmet is gone."

The masked man glared at Porky as he took off his mask.

[The masked man removed his mask]

His face bared a resemblance to Lucas'. However there were a few differences. He had orange hair and looked older compared to Lucas. Lucas had no doubt in his mind now that the masked person…

…was Claus.

[It was Claus]

Claus looked over towards Lucas and friends and walked over to them. "Guess who is free to do as he wishes?" He smirked at his brother. Lucas rushed up to him and hugged him tightly. Flint walked up and did the same. Boney even ran up to Claus and started barking happily.

"No matter, I shall dispose of all of you one way of another." Porky said, interrupting the touching moment. He then blew a whistle. Numerous Pigmask seemed to appear out of nowhere as the assembled behind the pig king.

[Porky called for reinforcements!]

[Numerous pigmask joined the fight!]

The heroes were outmatched, but took a fighting stance anyway. "Even with all of your fancy attacks, you can't beat me!"

"We're outnumbered!" Jeff cried.

"Thank you captain obvious." Ness retorted.

"What shall we do?" asked Claus. "Shall we fight or run?"

"There's no way we can fight them all and win." Lucas said.

"Then don't fight." Came a gentle voice from behind.

[Suddenly a woman appeared]

The heroes all turned to look at the person who spoke. A woman in a red and white dress appeared. She wore red shoes and had long brown hair. She walked over to the heroes. Flint stared at her in astonishment along with Lucas, Boney, and Claus.

"MOM!" cried the twins.

"Woof! (Hinawa!)" Boney barked at the same time the twins spoke. The three rushed towards her and knocked her down giving her a hug.

"It's nice to see you boys again too!" She exclaimed.

[It was Hinawa...]

Flint stood there with a blank expression. He couldn't believe his eyes. He walked towards Hinawa, but jumped back when a shot was fired at him.

"Let's just fight already!" Porky yelled. "Fire!"

"Ok I've had enough." Ninten stepped in front of the group. He started glowing a bright blue.

[Ninten tried 4th-D slip!]

"Pk 4th-D Slip!" He exclaimed. He and everyone around him suddenly disappeared after that before the pigmask could fire their lasers and cannons and guns and other items.

Next time, the gang plan an attack against Porky, or Pokey!

(Note: Got a name for Ninten's team? Cuz I am stumped. Leave it in a review with your thoughts!)
