CHAPTER 7: PART 15

As the marauding members of the KFC drew closer, Ness decided to take matters into his own hands. He focussed his mind on PSI shield d because they were no doubt going to be hurt in this battle.
One of the new KFC fighters, a rottweiler with a chain, began to attack Ness. Ness glanced over to Fox, who was handling himself fine, and dodged a swing. He then countered with a DjC’d PK headbutt to the KFC guy’s groin. Needless to say, the rottie fell to the ground like a sack of potatoes.
A bright flash of light caught Ness’s attention. He spun around to see Fox clutching his arm and a KFC member with a knife doing the same. Fox had been slashed, but the shield Ness had erected had done its job.

Ness: heck, there’s lots of them! We’re badly outnumbered.

Fox didn’t reply. Instead, he picked up a computer and rammed it over somebody’s head, before kicking them over.
Ness quickly jumped into the air and split-kicked two KFC’ s who were running at him. He spun around and PK fired a third attacker who was coming from behind.
Ness was doing well, until someone hit him over the head with a paperweight.
The PSI shield softened the blow, but it still threw Ness into a state of concussion. He tottered around helplessly until another KFC started punching his face.
The situation looked bleak…

SUDDENLY…

Sound effects: KABLAM, suckahs! A BLOODY LOUD EXPLOSION FILLES THE ROOM AND EVERYONE IS KNOCKED ON THEIR FURRY BUMS!!! HAHAHAHAHAAAH!!

A bloody loud explosion had indeed filled the room and knocked everyone on their bums. Sound effects stood in the middle of the room, cackling while surrounded by a tornado-like wind. Ness always thought he looked a little bit like Mr. Game and Watch except he was tall and semi-invisible rather than black.

Ness: YOU STAY OUT OF THIS…

TOOSH, a bright flash of light made coloured lights dance in front of Ness’s eyes. Sound effects squealed and vanished. When Ness looked agian, three familiar figures were standing amidst the mess in the room. Ness’s gut churned. He quickly grabbed Fox and dragged him under a table and out of sight before Specll, Edward and Pokey saw them.
Specll glared at the sprawled KFC members and sneered.

Specll: I see you filthy lot have been busting up offices, eh?

He eyed the secretary, who was cringing under a computer desk in fear. He smiled softly at her and nodded in a reassuring way. Ness was amazed. Specll was truly a gallant fox, no matter who’s side he was on. Pokey, on the other hand, broke up this touching scene by breaking wind.

Specll: did you just poop yourself?!

Pokey: …maybe…maybe not…

One of the KFC guys got to his feet, brandishing a knife.

KFC guy: hey, that’s Specll McCloud!! Come on, chaps, let’s…

Specll: Edward?

Edward: yEAH!?

Specll: obliterate that idiot.

KRAKKABOOM!!! When the smoke cleared, all that remained of the KFC guy was a pile of muffins. The other KFC members flinched.

Specll: nice…now leave the others to me.

Specll walked into the middle of the room and scowled at the remaining gang members. They go to their feet and armed themselves.

Specll: so which one of you want’s to take me first?

The biggest of the two charged towards Specll, twirling a chain. Specll allowed the chain to hit his rejector shield and the offending KFC member was knocked on his bum by the shock.
Specll, however, was one step ahead. Before the KFC guy even hit the ground, he had one of his legs underneath.
Specll caught the falling KFC guy in his trademark hunter’s snare. CrACK!!

Edward Hemorrhoid destroyed the defeated KFC guy and Specll turned to the other, his laser claws throbbing.

Specll: do you seriously think you can take us? I’ll tear you apart! Tell us where your hideout is, and perhaps I’ll let you go…maybe…

The KFC guy stood his ground.

KFC guy#3: never. I’ll never submit to a fox!

KASLASH!! Specll opened him up like a can of sardines. Bright lights poured from the KFC’s body as he faded on the floor.
Pokey started cackling like a radio-active chook.

Pokey: well that was fun! But this is seriously stupid, Specll. You’re supposed to be collecting sacred objects, not acting the hero!

Specll: hey, just you shut up for once. SHH!! I can do what I want, I’m the chosen one!

Pokey gritted his teeth. Specll was getting more and more independent by the day.
The secretary crawled out from under the computer desk, and Specll politely helped her to her feet, inquiring on her wellbeing.
She smiled coyly and fluttered her eyes at him.

Seccy: oh thank you! If you and that other nice fox hadn’t have come to save me, I would probably be gone.

At the mention of “that other nice fox,” Specll’s ears pricked up. He turned slowly and scanned the room. Ness tried as hard as he could not to make any noise or emit any vibes that Edward could pick up. Specll turned to Pokey and spoke quietly.

Specll: Fox was here…it seems he must be trying to wipe out the KFC as well…

Pokey: good! That means we don’t have to do it, we can leave it to those losers and get on with our item collecting!!

Edward: HoLD On a MinnnnUT!! SpEC sAyS he wanTs to hElP all ThE FoXies, so LeT hIIIIIM do It, LemOn SqueeEziE!!

Pokey: you guys are so stupid! Giygas’s followers want those items as soon as possible so we can revive supreme commander…

Specll: blah, blah, blah…supreme commander bum-for a brain can sit on a pin for all I care. This is more important.

Pokey looked angry and scared at the same time.

Pokey: don’t call him that!!! If he knew you’d said that…

Specll: well whoop-de-doo. He’s dead as a doornail at the moment, so there’s no way he could. Edward…get us out of this place.

KRAKKA BLAMIE!!! With a bright flash of light, Edward, Pokey and Specll warped. Ness crawled out from under the table, dragging Fox after him.

Fox: well, well, well…it seems Specll isn’t a total loss after all…

Sound effects: Fox, your communicator went on and beeped loudly just about one minute ago. I muted it so those guys didn’t hear. It was Slippy, call him back, O.K?

Ness: wow, thanks Sound effects!

Fox: yeah. That was cool of you.

Sound effects: just doing my job!

Rawk berry: FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEnnnnnn!!!

@$%@#$%^@^

Slippy had wanted Fox to return urgently back to the Great Fox. Using the stolen fighter jet, Fox and Ness returned as fast as they could fly. Upon boarding, they got the shock of their lives. Standing in the hanger, dressed fully in about three tons worth of golden badges, was Wolf O’Donnel.

Fox: Wolf?? What the heck are you doing here?!

Wolf: ‘morning McCloud. I’m here on peaceful intentions, no trick. As you can probably guess by looking at me…(jingles all his badges.) I’m the commissioner for the Dingle-dingle squad! HAHAHAHAAA!!!

Fox: that’s sad. A fine fighter like you, degraded to someone who joins the Dingle-dingle squad?

Wolf: don’t be like that. You’ll be surprised just how powerful the Dingle-dingle squad really is. We have market shares in just about everything you could possibly think of. We get 50% of government tax funds simply because of Bumble the Dancing P*ss Off alone! I’m so rich, I only tip with credit cards!

Fox: whoa…

Wolf: yes-siree. And being in the Dingle-dingle squad has made me ever-so much more nice. Remember how much of a *bleep* I used to be? You must have gotten pretty sick of me back then, eh!? Ahh, good times…Anyway, on to more important matters.

Wolf twirled his white cloak and the badges filled the air with jingling.

Wolf: I hear you’ve just been asked by that fool Pepper to dispose of the KFC, eh? Wellllll…some task. I bet you have no idea where their hide-out is. No? In that case, Dingle-dingle agency will be willing to lend you access to our top-secret files on one condition.

Fox: what?

Wolf: …that you allow the next episode in the new series of “Bumble the Dancing P*ss Off” to contain Slippy as the co-star!

Fox: sold! You’ve got yourself a deal, Wolf.

Wolf and Fox shook hands warmly. Fox knew how powerful the Dingle-dingle institute was. The Dingle-dingle squad actually had say in just about everything commercial. They had say over what shows came on TV, they had say over construction sights and money dispersion… The leader of the Dingle-dingle squad was so close to the world leader that they had say over just about everything that could possibly happen in terms of law. They had files on just about everybody who bought their products and no doubt Fox would be able to find KFC members in there by looking at weapon buyers. The fact that Wolf was Dingle-dingle commissioner made Fox feel slightly uneasy, though.
Slippy was excited to say the least.

Slippy: YAAAAAY! I’M GOING TO BE IN BUMBLE THE DANCING P*SS OFF!! YAAAAAY!!

Wolf: better use our files as soon as you can. I’m still a part-time mercenary fighter and it will be a matter of time before we have to be enemies again. And by the way, that blue vixen you’ve got here is hot.

Fox: you wolf…

Wolf waved goodbye and hopped into his shuttle. It took off, leaving a trail of light in the hangar. Peppy came out and adjusted his reading glasses, thrusting a yellow data pad into Fox’s hand.

Peppy: those files are all in that data pad. I’ve gone through them and found a very likely suspect who just might be the KFC leader.

A 3D hologram of a young, bitter-looking white horse appeared above the pad.
Some information wrote itself in the air beneath the picture. Fox and Ness leaned over and read it.

Ness: “Ferd Fiord, horse, age 21. Occupation=unknown. The Fiord family was one of the major foxhunters before the great peace. Respectable client possibly interested in our lawyers. Doing time for murder. (Johan Teelie, fox, age 23)
Won the case. Will be paying out shortly or legal action to be taken.”

Fox: hmmm…very interesting…

Jeff: we have to find out what his job is. Then we can track his whereabouts.

Fox: he’s a freaking evil boss. No way he has a proper job.

Just then, the big computer screen turned on and General Pepper appeared. Starfox team saluted.

Pepper: Fox, I just got news of what you did back there. Nice work, but for heaven’s sake, just because you have the license, doesn’t mean you can break every law on the street!

Fox: sorry…

Pepper: you are forgiven, you filthy ver…uh…good person…

General Pepper looked around and then suddenly pressed his face against the screen. This made Fox jump. Pepper looked scary. Fox knew what was coming. He closed his ears.

Pepper: look, Fox… I have to get this out of my system…I HATE foxes! I don’t know why, but I just do! Whenever I see you, I get the urge to bark and snarl and do something nasty. It’s just your…tail, and your ears, and…and…uh I DON’T KNOW, BUT YOU DISGUST ME!! YOU FOUL, STINKING, ROTTEN, SLEAZY, SNEAKY, SLINKY PIECE OF SCUM!!! I’m no supporter of the KFC, In fact, I think they’re aweful, but I STILL HATE FOXES AND I’VE HIDDEN IT REALLY WELL UP TO NOW!! AAAAAAAAARGH!! YOU *#$*^% VULPINE DIRTBAG!!

General Pepper sat back in his chair, panting loudly.

Pepper: sorry Fox. I just have to do that occasionally…

Fox: …don’t worry about it, Pepper.

Peppy: you ought to be ashamed of yourself, Pepper! You do that to poor Fox almost every time! You are the most downright racist person I know!!

Pepper: don’t you order me around like that, hare, or I’ll pull you out of a hat!

Fox was used to Pepper’s rantings by now. Ness, on the other hand, was in a state of shock.

Ness: F….Fox…do you think Pepper’s a member of the…

Fox: I used to think he was, but he’s not. Pepper dislikes just about every animal you can think of. He hates frogs, hares, rabbits, birds, hamsters, kangaroos, foxes, ducks…you name them, he hates them.

Now Pepper was on a rant about Hares. Peppy looked as though he was about to have a heart attack as he braved Pepper’s onslaught of verbal abuse.
Finally, the defense general calmed down.

Pepper: ahh…now I feel better. I can tolerate the sight of you both now. Do you have any favors to ask of me?

Fox: yes, do you think you can check your ubersecret spy files for a white horse by the name of Ferd Fiord?

Pepper nodded and the screen went black. Fox sat down in a chair and relaxed as Ness and his friends began to talk. Krystal came over and gave his shoulders a rub before heading off to the kitchens to help R.O.B. with dinner. Fox was just about to curl up and go to sleep when a noise like a thousand basketball-players with extra-rubbery shoes on a newly waxed floor filled the air. It was Slippy.

Slippy: HEYA FOX!!! HAHAHAAH HAHAHAA HAHHAHA!! Is it O.K. if Rupert and I go and sit on the wing?

Fox glanced over to Rupert, who grinned and waved back. Rupert had come to be more of a playmate for Slippy than a captive.

Fox: sure. Just remember, don’t take the blue magnet shoes, because they’re faulty.

The floating image of Ferd was still hanging in the air. Peppy had forgotten to turn it off. Rupert walked over to it and smiled wryly.

Rupert: hey!…Ferd…I remember that guy like the back of my hand.

Fox almost choked on a moth that he’d been trying to inhale as it flew around his head.

Fox: YOU KNOW THAT GUY??

Rupert: yeah, that scumbag. We used to work together in a former pirate gang. He split up with us, though, because he wanted to start a cult of some sort. I hated him, he was nasty.

Fox felt a surge of triumph. He bounded over to Rupert and grabbed him by the collar.

Fox: where is Ferd now? Do you know what he does?

Rupert: sorry…only Sellie knows that, and frankly I don’t think she’s going to tell you…can you let go now?

Fox dropped Rupert and flopped back down into his chair. Sellie was going to take a LOT of coaxing before she spilled any beans.

 

[MewtwoMaster2002]

[NESSBOUNDER]

CHAPTER 8: PART 1
Problems ahoy!

Fox stared into the prison cell, a carton of cream in his hand. Sellie was watching a program on the prison TV about hurricanes. She reached through the bars, plucked the carton of cream out of Fox’s hand, and applied it to her strawberries.

Fox: darn you, Sellie! Aren’t you going to tell me where Ferd Fiord is? We’ve given you strawberries in cream, installed a TV into your cell and I even had R.O.B. give you a massage!!

R.O.B: continue=massage. If=jackal makes noise like= “aaah,” then=go gentle. Set hands to=vibrate MODE:[soft]. Lo0p.

Sellie: I don’t know…I might decide to tell you about Ferd if you…go and get me a…strelitzia.

Fox: what the heck do you need a strelitzia for?

Sellie: I don’t know. I just like ordering you around.

Ness shook his head and motioned to Poo.

Ness: Poo…can you give me your poisonous snake bag for a second?

Poo walked over and handed Ness the small bag of infinite snakes. Ness reached in and pulled out a thin, whippy black snake.

Ness: Sellie…I’m going to release this thing in your prison cell if you don’t tell us about Ferd, got it?

Sellie didn’t look at all intimidated.

Sellie: If I die, then you’ll never find out anything about Ferd!

Ness: not exactly. You see, this snake will poison you and you’ll begin to die a long, slow, painful death. However, just when you’re about to kick the bucket, I’ll use my psychic powers to replenish your life. You’ll be stuck in a never-ending loop of torture. I generally hate turning to this tactic, but you leave us no choice, so make up your mind.

Sellie: …Ferd left our pirate group ages ago. He left to for fill his dream, which had something to do with a cult. I remember him deserting us somewhere over an uncharted planet in sector 45. He took an escape pod. After that, we learned that he set up a base of operations on that planet. We decided to leave him alone, he is one evil dude.

Fox shuddered. He knew exactly where and what that planet was. And a visit there was not an experience he wanted to re-live. It was a cold world filled with snow and had an utterly spedly history. Icerimm Planet.

Fox: …thank you Sellie, that wasn’t so bad now, was it?

Sellie: stuff ya.

Fox: you’re so nice. (comical laugh.)

Fox was just about to turn and leave, when Rupert, Slippy and Bumble the Dancing P*ss off came walking into the prison cell.
Slippy was dressed from head to toe in disgusting pink frills. He looked like a handkerchief with a particularly large radioactive booger in it…a booger with an abnormally high-pitched voice.

Slippy: HI EVERYBODY!!! MEET BUMBLE! BUMBLE, MEET FOX!! HA HAHAHA HA AHAHAHA!!

The dog in the jester suit walked over to Fox and shook his hand.

Bumble: hello Fox! Slippy has told me so much about you. I do hope you won’t mind me using your top technician for the show? He’s just the most annoying person I’ve ever met! We need him for the show!

Fox: feel free…uh…behave yourself on TV, Slippy…

Bumble: your cooperation is much appreciated.

Rupert: hey Sellie, is it O.K. if I appear on Bumble’s show as a guest? I fly around in the background and eat cheese.

@#$%@#^@#$^$@^%

After the mission had been clarified, Fox, Ness, Jeff and Mr. Game and Watch were ready for take-off to Icerimm. It was decided that only four of them would go, seeing as this was an undercover operation, and Mr. Game and Watch and Jeff were the most skilled when it came to covert ops.

Peppy: I’m going to drop you over Icerimm now. Get into your space suits and let’s get rockin’!

(Hillbilly music in background.)

Fox: yeee-haw!

(banjo starts playing.)

G&W: geronimo, pardner!

Ness: it’s time to whup some evil tail!

Jeff: YEEEEE-HAWWW!!!

Everyone stopped and stared at Jeff. He blushed and covered his face with his hands.

Peppy: I’m opening the hatch now, be careful, you have never seen anything like that planet before. It’s creepy!

Paula: take care, Ness!

Poo: HAUUMAMAAA!! My good lucky chant for you.

Adeline: bon voyage!

SCCHLEEEEERRRP!!! With a rude slurping sound, Fox, Ness, Jeff and Mr. Game and Watch were sucked out the hatch and propelled towards the snowy planet. Ness looked at the surface and could just make out some buildings. At least it was populated.

Jeff: DOESN’T IT BOTHER YOU THAT WE DON’T HAVE ANY PARACUTES??

Fox: NORMAL PHYSICS DON’T APPLY ON THIS PLANET! WE SHOULD HIT THE GROUND AND BE FINE. IF WE OPENED A PARACHUTE, WE’D ACTUALLY FALL FASTER BECAUSE OF THE EXTRA WEIGHT.

Jeff: ?????

Ness: THAT IS JUST STRANGE!

Bump. All four of them touched down on the ground as lightly as four feathers off a chicken that had just been plucked by a super chicken-plucking machine. Fox removed his space suit and stared around the bleak landscape. A single skyscraper stuck out in the horizon.

Fox: looks like we should head towards that skyskraper…

G&W: whoo! Is it me, or is it cold here?

Ness: it’s cold here, dummy. Look, there’s ice everywhere.

Jeff: reminds me of my homecountry…

Before Fox could open his mouth again, the unmistakable sound of a hovercraft filled his ears. After a few moments of waiting, the vehicle parked beside him and his friends and two figures got off, both of them wearing white snow gear.
The first figure was short and fat, while in cliched style, the other was tall and skinny.
The fat one spoke.

Fat: hey, you three! Where did you get that fox? Don’t tell me there are still foxes living on this planet? I thought we got rid of them all.

Ness immediately realized that these two people were KFC. He darted over to Fox and pretended to be holding his hands behind his back. Fox took the hint and pretended to squirm in an attempt to escape.

The skinny person spoke next.

Skinny: heck! You’re a little bit on the young side, aren’t you? Who let you join?

Ness quickly fibbed.

Ness: I’m actually 23 years old, you twit! I’m just runty. It’s a birth defect.

Fox moaned pitifully.

Skinny: oh…right…What are you going to do with the fox, eh? Can we help you kill him?

Fat: yeah! We’ve got some battery acid in the back of the ski…

G&W: and I’ve got something for you two! HAHAHAAAHAHAHAAAHHAAAA!!!!

Mr. Game and Watch had snuck up behind Fat and Skinny and had flipped a manhole up underneath them both, turning them over.
Ness quickly focussed his mind on PSI paralysis d, paralyzing them both. They slumped to the ground in a heap.

Fox: battery acid…those freaks! Let’s bury them alive, Ness!

Ness: no! Don’t stoop to their level. I say we tie them to a rock.

So after tying Fat and Skinny to a rock, Ness, Fox, Jeff and Mr. Game and Watch stole the jet-ski and were speeding off towards the skyscraper, which was no doubt, the KFC headquarters!! (Thunder crash.)

 

[PsiFlameMaster]

yes! now we get to meet that Fiord guy.

Fox: battery acid…those freaks! Let’s bury them alive, Ness!

Ness: no! Don’t stoop to their level. I say we tie them to a rock.

lol! the next battle will hopefully be fun.

 

[MewtwoMaster2002]

Great update. Awaiting for next one.

 

[Creature_85]

I really like your story. Earthbound is the coolest Old-school game ever!

 

[NESSBOUNDER]

CHAPTER 8: PART 2

Deoxis was in one of his better moods. Sylph was grateful for this, because he’d recently been behaving very strangely. Not two days ago, he’d locked seven Pokemon in the Red Room and left them in there until they died of trauma. Sylph never wanted to see anything like that again.

Deoxis: Sylph…you’ve always been very loyal to me, and that’s good, you know why?

Sylph: why, master?

Deoxis: because today is the day you’re going to accompany Byter and Spinner out onto the battlefield…and make sure those two weaklings don’t come back.

Sylph: I…I really don’t think executing Spinner and Byter is necessary, master. They’ve always don…

SKRACK! A viscous psychic twist exploded inside Sylph’s neck. She jerked her head to the side to try to avoid the pain. Deoxis’ fake eye glinted and he released the hold.

Deoxis: you will do as I say, my pretty, or I’ll twist your head off your shoulders…s-l-o-w-l-y. Now remember, I want you to keep at a distance from the battle. Only after it’s over, or if you see Spinner or Byter trying to escape, should you do anything. I think you know what’s expected of you, Sylph.

Sylph rose groggily off the ground. Her vision was hazy and she was finding it hard to keep her balance. Deoxis never used to abuse her in this way before. She summoned all her composure and struck a salute.

Sylph: I will obey your…orders…sir.

Deoxis: you’d better. Now GO!!

Sylph glided out of the room and the mechanical doors slammed behind her. She stared at the doors in wonderment. If it weren’t for Spinner, the mountain lair wouldn’t even exist. As intelligent as she was, Sylph only understood the basics of human technology, whereas Spinner had been trained from birth by his trainer to help in the workshop.

Then there was Byter…little Byter tried as hard as he could to be strong, but in reality he was a frightened little runt of a Pokemon with a disturbed vision of things. Byter never told anyone his secret, but Sylph knew that Byter’s perception to his immediate surroundings were different from other Pokemn’s. His nightmarish past had rendered upon him an emotional scar that twisted what he saw with his eyes. Byter would sometimes become frozen in one place, staring fearfully at some imaginary horror conjured up by his traumatized mind. Killing Byter or Spinner would make Sylph feel terrible about herself for the rest of her life.

#$%%$^@#$^

Specll opened his eyes as Edward Hemorrhoid materialized behind him in a blast of light, along with Pokey. The tumor said “HeY hEY!!” loudly, the sleeves of his tuxedo flapping in the wind. (Because he didn’t have any arms.)

They were in a strange, alien landscape with weird tendril things all over the place. Specll sat down on the squishy ground and sighed.

Specll: oh well, I trust Fox to defeat the KFC. He’s always been good at heroism…now let’s get on with finding our items…just two more and we can revive-

Pokey: -our Boss. Giygas’s right-hand man.

Specll: he’s not a man. He’s a-

Pokey: who cares what he is, we need just two more items and then we can rule the universes!

A lot of our plans have been foiled already…remember that the Pokemon world escaped the time-lock, so he’s not going to be too powerful yet. We have to bide our time until a sufficient number of lives have been reaped.

Edward: WhEre Are WEE?

Pokey: I believe it’s called Talon IV or something…in the Galactic System.

Specll: Galactic System? That’s a stupid name. How the heck did they come up with that?

Pokey: who knows…perhaps people here are just stupid in the head. Now let’s get searching!

As Specll turned away, Pokey glared at his back. Specll didn’t know the real reason why he wasn’t allowed to defeat the KFC, and if he did, then it could lead to trouble.

$#%@#$%@#$^

Fox kicked down the door of the skyscraper and fought his way up to the top floor, completely ignoring the lift. By the time he, Ness, Jeff and Mr. Game and Watch got to the middle of the building, they were thoroughly exhausted. Fox realized that fighting at this state would be stupid. There were a lot of guards around, and an alarm had been triggered that brought in a whole bunch of heavily armed and scary-looking thugs to hunt them down. Plus, the lights were all off.

Fox, Ness and Jeff dilated their pupils to the maximum in order to try and see in the dark.

Ness: I can’t make them any bigger, and my PSI won’t lift darkness…And I still can’t see properly!

Fox: that’s because raccoons don’t have as good eyesight as foxes do. My night-vision focuses more light than your eyes can.

Jeff: I can’t see a thing…

Ness: hold onto my tail.

Jeff obediently groped around in the darkness and grabbed Ness’s tail. Fox stood still, twitching his ears.

Fox: I have an idea…you guys stay here and don’t move. I’m going to go off and try to find a light switch. Buildings like this always have a circuit that allows one light to be turned on at a time in a case of a black-out. If you get attacked, I’m sure you could handle them, right?

Ness: what about you? You don’t have any powerful psychic attacks to defend you, all you’ve got is your gun.

Fox: I’ll just sneak around in the shadows…you wait here, and if I don’t come back within five minutes, come and try to find me.

Ness: how?

Fox: … uh … I dunno, follow the wall if you have to. Surely you can see a BIT?

Ness nodded. Fox turned and padded off down the hallway.

It was a long, and uneventful wait. Ness and Jeff had played Paper, scissors, rock with Mr. Game and Watch (Who always seemed to play paper.) But it was so dark that they couldn’t properly see their hands.

Ness: I played paper…

Jeff: are you bluffing me?

Ness secretly hoped that a baddie would come along so they could do some fighting. But it would be dangerous in the dark, even with his PSI. And he didn’t dare to light a fire, because it could attract attention.

Jeff: Fox has been gone for over six minutes now…should we go look for him?

Ness: Yeah, this is boring. Now grab hold of my tail, and we’ll follow the wall.

And so they formed a train and followed the wall. Ness realized that his sensitive animal nose could detect a faint scent on the walls that unmistakably belonged to Fox.
Ever since they had become friends, Ness had grown accustomed to Fox’s distinctive odor. In fact, he didn’t mind it because it wasn’t particularly strong or unpleasant. The scent gland on Fox’s tail caused the smell to rub off onto anything his brush made contact with…probably one of the reasons why Peach never allowed Fox into the lounging area of the Academy of Smash.

Ness: I can pick up on Fox’s scent. He’s too far away for me to run a mental scan, but if we follow his trail, maybe we can find him again!

G&W: I think I have a heat-vision mode here somewhere…let’s see…ah, there it is. I can see clearly now.

Ness: what is there in front of me, Mr. G?

G&W: the hallway goes down a bit and then there’s a door.

Just as Ness was preparing to open the door, Jeff gave a shout of alarm and a knife whistled through the air, narrowly missing his head. Ness spun around and fired off a PK fire, burning the assailant and lighting up the room. The big thug jumped around, trying to pat out the flames. This gave Mr. Game and Watch enough time to jam a key into his head, effectively knocking him senseless or worse.

Jeff: that was close!

Ness: hmm, yes. I say we go quickly, and I’ll bet that my PSI magnet would light up rooms!

Ness opened the door, let everyone through and used PSI magnet, lighting up the room for a few seconds so Jeff could see. When Ness opened his eyes, the room went dark again.

Ness: I still can’t see the room…hasn’t anyone else got a light?

Jeff: I wish Adeline or Paula were here…

Ness: no you don’t. They’d just yell and make a fuss. Are you sure you don’t have any flashy tool you can use to light up rooms?

Jeff: uh…let’s see…

Jeff accidentally pulled out the Channeler’s baton. For some reason, it glowed in the darkness, lighting the room very nicely.

Ness: fantastic…now let’s see here…there’s a door over there, and a door over there…and Fox’s scent leads through the one over there…

So they took the door over there. (???)

The door (over there) opened up to a vast room. Unlike the rest of the building, this one had lights on, and looked like some sort of power plant. Ness motioned to the others and stealthily crept down the stairs, hiding behind a bunch of crates.

Sound effects: Crates? How cliched is that?

G&W: shut up, do you want someone to hear us?

Ness ignored them and peered over the crates. He saw three thugs and a skinny bear in a coat. Ness looked to the left a bit, and something caught his eye. Lying on the ground, making no movement at all…WAS FOX!!

Ness: t…THAT’S FOX!!

Jeff: he looks dead!

G&W: BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE….

Ness felt like exploding. Rage flowed through every tendon in his body. Ness jumped up onto the crates, in full view of the bear and the thugs and screamed.

Ness: YOU *bleeps* YOU KILLED FOX! AAAAARH!! I’ll MAKE YOU PAY, YOU *bleeping bleepheads*

A vein bulged out of Ness’s head as he used a PSI Sport d, devastating everything in front of him with the coloured psiwaves. When the smoke cleared, and the rubble settled, Jeff and Mr. Game and Watch peeped over the crates to see Ness crying over Fox’s body. Mr. Game and Watch felt a wave of sadness creep over him…

Suddenly, Ness gave a startled cry and turned the body over. He then gave a shout of joy and leaped into the air. Jeff was too busy crying to notice, but Mr. Game and Watch thought Ness had gone insane.

G&W: …Ness?

Ness: IT’S NOT FOX!!

G&W: REALLY?

Ness: YEAH!!

G&W: WOOHOO!!

Ness: PARTY LIKE A SEA BASS!!

Jeff: uh? What happened? Isn’t Fox dead?

G&W: IT’S NOT FOX!!

Jeff: WOO…uh, oh, that’s so great!

Ness, Jeff and Mr. Game and Watch examined the body. Indeed, it wasn’t Fox. This fox had a lighter fur colour and was wearing different clothes. He also had a thicker tail and was taller.
Ness noticed the dark marks on the fox’s neck, as well as several cuts.

Ness: the poor guy…they must have been torturing him. Looks like he’s been strangled.

Just then, the body moved.

Ness: EAAARGH!!

Jeff: ZOMBIE!!

G&W: you idiots, can’t you see he’s not dead?

Ness: well he should be!

Jeff: I’d hate to be in that condition and still be living.

The fox groaned and feebly tried to shield his face with his hands.

???: please…stop, I won’t…drop the box again…I swear…

Ness: you’re going to be O.K. Now try to relax, we’re not going to hurt you.

Ness placed his hands on the fox’s chest and used a lifeup a. The fox rose to his knees and stared with confusion at his healed body.

???: it…it doesn’t hurt anymore!

Ness: good. Now are you feeling alright?

???: …thirsty…

Ness nodded and produced a water bottle out of his backpack.
The fox’s eyes widened with terror at the sight of the water bottle.

???: n-NO! I…I…I didn’t say I was thirsty. I’m not thirsty, I had my water earlier this morning!

Ness: uh? But you said you were thirsty, I heard you!

???: I’m not asking for a drink, I really am not! I had my water, and I don’t need any more now, please don’t beat me.

Ness sighed. This fox had obviously been abused on a regular basis. He took the lid off the water bottle and took a swig.

Ness: see? Yummy, cold water…doesn’t that look nice? Now have a drink, it’s good for you! Then you can tell us who you are and why you’re here.

The fox stared with wonder at the water bottle and then drank deeply.

???: it’s just water! W..why? I asked for a drink, don’t I get punished?

Ness: never mind that, what’s your name?

???: …Name? I…um…am Number 12.

Ness: ??????

Jeff: ???????

Ness studied Twelve closely. He was a young fox, possibly only Ness’s age. Ness couldn’t understand how he could have mistaken him for Fox earlier. Twelve’s fur was matted and unkempt, his bright copper eyes stared fearfully into Ness’s blue ones. Ness could clearly see that this fox was being used as a slave.
Ness raised his arm to scratch his head, and Twelve gave a little squeak and screwed his eyes shut.

Ness: I’m not going to hit you! Stop being so skittish, we’re here to save you. Got it? Now where are you from?

Twelve: ..I…I don’t know…why are you talking to me? Aren’t you one of the higher animals?

Ness placed his fingers in his eyes and thought. How was he going to get anything out of this terrified, brainwashed fox?

Ness: I’m not from around here, do you understand? I don’t know what you mean by calling me a higher animal. I’m here to stop the KFC from killing your race.

Twelve stared at Ness with a look of disbelief.

Twelve: you mean…you mean that where you come from…foxes are not low animals?

Ness was beginning to understand the young fox’s definitions. He nodded.

Twelve suddenly started talking rapidly. Ness had to strain his ears to get everything that came out of his mouth.

Twelve: I’m number 12 out of thirteen of us. I don’t know where I come from or who my parents were…the high animals make us work. They do bad things to me, even when I’m not misbehaving…I’ve seen them kill one of us before, they just killed him for nothing, just to watch him die. They can beat us, or cut us or do anything to us whenever they want to because we’re foxes…and foxes are bad. I don’t think I’m bad, but if you argue, then you get cut. Sometimes they take us into a dark room…and then you can hear screaming for ages…we don’t know what’s in that room, but we’re all scared it might happen to us. They call it “the punishment”… We get water and food every day, but if we ask for any more later if we’re hungry or thirsty they give it to us with a poison. Sometimes we have to drink the poison water, and it…it…hurts, it really hurts…but we never die, it just hurts. And Nine says that in other parts of the Lylat system, foxes are not bad, and that you can do whatever you want without getting cut…is that where you come from?

Ness couldn’t believe that anyone could mistreat another living creature in this manner. The KFC kept these foxes (no doubt original inhabitants of Icerimm planet) alive just so they could use them as slaves and torture them at will. The KFC were sick, sick people who deserved no mercy, even from him. He gazed into Twelve’s copper eyes and emitted a calming PSI vibe to ease the little fox’s nerves.

Ness: yeah, I come from there…and what these people do to you is illegal where I come from…we’re going to make it so that you can do whatever you want too. Now have you seen another Fox come by here, an adult one wearing green pants and a helmet?

Twelve: I think I saw him sneak around that way. (Points to a staircase.) I don’t know who he was, he’s not one of us…

Ness: right. Now you, don’t tell anyone about this, O.K? It’s a secret.

Twelve nodded.

Ness: Jeff, Mr. G, come on, let’s get out of here.

Ness, Jeff and Mr. Game and Watch tiptoed up the stairs and opened the door. All the lights were out. Ness felt his way along the wall and as he walked along, kicked something soft of the floor. The soft thing let out a groan.

???: aawh! I-I’m sorry! I was only trying to keep out of the way, please don’t hurt me!

“Another fox slave…” thought Ness to himself.

Ness: shhh…stay still and don’t make a fuss.

???: you aren’t going to beat me?

Ness: no. now pretend this didn’t happen.

After some more wall followage, Ness came to another lit room. Inside it, two foxes and five guards stood around a conveyor belt. The foxes were loading crates onto the conveyor belt as fast as they could. Every now and again, one of the guards would fire a stun shot at their legs and watch as they injured themselves on the heavy crates.
Ness gripped his bat and prepared to rush out when an orange and green streak fell from the ceiling and landed on one of the guard’s heads. It was Fox!

The four conscious guards outnumbered Fox. He reflected a shot back at one, successfully defeating him. The remaining three guards attacked him with their gun butts.
Fox was frantically dodging their swipes until Ness and Mr. Game and Watch charged in and beat them stupid while Jeff gummed them down with his Slime Generator.

Fox: Ness! I was going to come back and get you, but I got discovered and had to do a lot of hiding. Sorry.

Ness: that’s alright. Have you found out what the KFC are doing to these poor foxes?

Fox: yes…those *bleeps*

Ness looked at the two foxes who were staring fearfully at them from a corner in the room.

Ness: let’s not hang around to explain anything to them. The sooner we get them free, the better.

Fox: good, because if my calculations are correct, Ferd’s office is actually right above us on the next floor. Right up those stairs.

As all four heroes scaled the stairs, Ness stowed his bat. It’s not like they’d have much trouble tackling Ferd. Heck, Ness could probably beat him using just his fists and feet. There was no way a normal horse could stand up to four angry fighters, most of whom had special powers of some sort.

The door swooshed open. Fox grabbed his gun and aimed it into the dim room. A shape was silhouetted up against the large glass window. It was a desk and a big armchair. Slowly, the armchair turned around to reveal two glowing white circles of someone’s glasses staring at them from inside the armchair. A smooth, cruel voice spoke in a tone that made Ness’s skin crawl.

Ferd: good morning gentlemen…ah, so this is the legendary Fox McCloud…the hired fighter with a conscience…that’s what they call you in the newspapers, you know.

Fox: stuff it, Ferd! You’re the ringleader of the KFC, the cult that has murdered hundreds of innocent foxes out of hatred alone. I’M GOING TO SHUT YOU DOWN FOR GOOD, YOU HEAR!?

Ferd: not hatred, Mr. McCloud…it’s the thrill of the kill that counts. The look of fear on the quarry’s face when they’re caught, knowing full well that they are about to die…to watch them try to plead and beg…the chase, the hunt…it’s all that, PLUS hatred. And what are you going to do…hah hah…kill me?

Fox: you’re a MANIAC!! General Pepper wants you alive, so consider yourself lucky. If it weren’t for him, I’d drop you right now!

Ferd: so this is about money? I knew it. This is about getting rich for you, isn’t it? Not about saving your pitiful race from destruction, but earning some cash. That’s what it’s really about, isn’t it…fox?

Fox let the words sink in…was he really submitting to greed this time? Should he just shoot Ferd and end it now, or should he maintain his perfect record and submit him to Pepper and get a reward?

Fox: Ness, what should I do?

Ness: don’t ask me, when it comes to killing people, I like to take the merciful way out every time…

Fox: Game and Watch?

G&W: drop him.

Jeff: submit him…it comes to the same thing, just you’ll get money.

Ferd: well, Fox…looks like it’s up to you. If only I could see the struggle of your vulpine mind as it questions morals…it would entertain me to no end.

Ferd gracefully rose out of his seat. Ness stared in awe at the dainty, evil figure in front of him. Ferd Fiord was TALL! His white mane was trimmed to resemble a zebra’s. He was wearing a red coat and held a cane in his left hand. Ness felt a wave of intimidation crawl beneath his skin.

Fox: don’t try anything! I’d be scared of dying if I was going where you are going if you die!

Ferd: but who says you aren’t? We’re not that different if you think about it, Fox. You kill for money, I kill for entertainment. Both of us have nothing but contempt for life.

Fox: that is not true! My friend Ness has taught me all about the importance of life! I only kill in the name of good, and only if I must. While you kill simply because you want to! Face it Ferd…you’re evil and I’m not.

Ferd cleaned his glasses with a cloth. He smiled wryly and put them back on.

Ferd: so Fox…have you seen our current project yet? Surely you’ve met some of our little vulpine servants haven’t you? See the way they live in fear of “higher animals?” How they cringe and bow beneath our feet? That is how it should be…THROUGHT THE WHOLE LYLAT SYSTEM!! The Kill Foxes Cult will bring back the old laws. We will make your filthy race the scum of the earth once again, and the only way you will be able to survive is as pitiful, cowering slaves!! THAT IS MY DREAM AND IT WILL HAPPEN!!

Fox: it won’t happen, because I’m ENDING YOUR LIFE!!

Fox leveled the blaster at Ferd’s head and fired. Ness closed his eyes, only to hear a familiar “Klick” sound and a soft moan from Fox.
Ness jerked his eyes open to see Fox crumpling slowly to the ground, steam pouring from a laser wound in his chest, and Ferd standing there with his reflector blinking in the dim room.

Ferd: hahaha…don’t think you’re the only one with the reflector power, Fox! You reap the seeds you sow, and as you may find out soon, I am no ordinary horse. Now this is quite enough playing around. I’m just going to have to kill you all now.

Fox gave a gasp of pain, clutched his stomach and coughed. Ness quickly ran over and healed the wound. Both of them looked up to see Ferd standing behind his desk, surrounded by a aura of blue light. The horse placed his hands on his temples and opened his eyes and a black fluid started dripping out of his nostrils and onto the floor. The fluid continued to drip until a hulking shape was formed. Ness recognized the sharp, glistening teeth and the lack of a head.
It was a Dark Missionary.

Ferd sat on his desk and laughed.

Ferd: my friend here has been feeding on the pain of my slave foxes. It’s given me the power to do whatever I want, and to anyone I feel like. With the power of Giygas’s followers on my side, there is no way the Lylat System will be able to stand up to me! NOW YOU DIE!!

The Dark Missionary towered over all of them. It was much stronger and much healthier than the last one they faced. Ness held the Channeler’s baton in his hand and thought of Kirivia. This was going to be a tough and dangerous battle without Poo…

 

[MewtwoMaster2002]

Great update. Do you have Metroid Prime??? or you're just using Tallon IV because Planet Zebes and SR388 exploded?

 

[Creature_85]

Wow man, I was about ready to get a piece of Ferd myself. Great update.

 

[PsiFlameMaster]

great update, as usual. there was actualy a simple solution to the whole darkness problem: Psi Flash (not the one from SSBM that does damage). lol. looks like we're in for a hard boss fight, which is always fun. i'll cya later, i guess.

 

[NESSBOUNDER]

PSI flash would have made Fox, Jeff and G&W cry uncontrollably, become paralysed, feel a bit strange or be instantly destroyed.

I'm moving house (to next door!:D ) but I will try to update my Pokemon fic this week. And I am using Tallon IV as my planet because all the other good planets blew up. Stupid bombs.

 

[PsiFlameMaster]

from what i've heard he doesn't have to use an acutal Psi Flash a, he can just kinda light up the area with his hand glowing or something, or at least that's what some other authors have done. but o well. I hope the move goes well, and will be looking for your update, but i might not be on that much. I'm too busy playing Tribes. FYI, it a great game. I'll cya later then.

 

[NESSBOUNDER]

Whoops, double post. Seeing as I can't delete this, I may as well give you a shortie

THE STORY OF MR. DRIED FISH.

One day, a carp was taken out of the freezer and dried. He found himself lying on a table while a demented artist tried to draw him.

"Hey you! You with the paintbrush! Am I gonna get paid for dis?" he said.

The artist said "SHUT YOUA POTHOLE, FISH! YOU CAN'T RUSH AN ARTIST!"

So the fish bloated up and filled this post. The End.

[NESSBOUNDER]

Terribly sorry about not updating for a while, I did a lot of stuff over the Easter Holidays. PsiFlameMaster...didn't you read the bit where Ness was afraid to light a fire (or his hand) because it might attract thugs? Ah well...I wasn't thinking about Ness's powers, really. And I wanted him to use his animal senses.

CHAPTER 8: PART 3 (I think.)

Ferd’s glasses shone in the dim light of the room. The towering evil monstrosity in front of him roared and hissed threateningly.
Ness gripped the Channeler’s baton and prepared for the worst.

Dark Missionary: you are Nessssss….Giygasss’s mortal enemy…yoouuu are hisssstoryyyy…

With a sudden powerful thrust of it’s arms, the Dark Missionary dealt Ness a blow to the side of the head, sending him sprawling onto the ground. Ness quickly turned around and brought the Channeler’s baton slamming into it’s open hand. The veil of dark energy flickered and dispersed, and Ness used a Lifeup C on the Dark Missionary, damaging it severely.
Ferd angrily got to his feet.

Ferd: what? You can harm that creature? Impossible! Well never mind, you’re not going to win, not as long as I’m here!

Ferd pulled a gun out of his pocket and fired at the Dark Missionary, increasing its power sufficiently. Fox and Jeff cried out in alarm and tackled the horse, knocking the gun out of his hands. Ferd used a reflector to knock them off him and ran for the gun. Fox was already on his feet.

Ness: (blocks a hit from the dark Missionary.) Ferd is getting the gun again! We have to defeat him before he makes the Missionary any stronger!

G&W: we’re on it! You just defend yourself against that thing!

Ferd turned to Face Fox and Jeff with the gun in his hand. He fired at the Dark Missionary, and then shot at Jeff, who narrowly avoided it.

Ferd: you think you can take me, foxie? Well I’d love to see you try, this should be good for a laugh.

Fox: WHY YOU…RRRAAHGH!!

Fox sprinted at Ferd and shorthopped to a flying kick. (neu air.) The attack caught him off guard, and Ferd was knocked over his desk, his glasses smashing behind him. The white horse got to his feet and curled his hard fingers into a hoof, bashing Fox across the face. Two kicks from Ferd’s powerful legs sent Jeff and G&W sprawling onto the ground. Fox lay on the ground, nursing himself and wiping his watering eyes. A stream of light was pouring from his nose and splashing all down the front of his jacket. Ferd laughed softly and pushed Fox’s head back, pinching his nose shut.

Fox: AAAAUUAH!!! BY DOSE!!

As Fox screamed, Ferd whipped a flask out of his pockets and poured half its contents down Fox’s throat. Fox gagged and shoved him away before attempting to get to his feet again.

Fox: what did you do…uh…to me…ckkc…aakk…I…I feel strange! Aaah! AAAAH!! AAAAAAAUUUU!!!

Ferd cackled as Fox writhed in agony on the floor. The torture poison was fast-acting, and Fox had just taken half a bottle full!

Ferd: HAHAHAHAaah…oh my! I never get tired of seeing that poison in action. How do you like your drink, little fox?

Fox: AAAAAH!!!!! MAKE IT STOP, PLEAAAASE!!

Fox felt like there was a giant spiky ball caught in his stomach, a spiky ball that repeatedly fluctuated inside of him as if it was trying to escape, banging against the inside of his intestinal wall. All his organs had begun shuddering and straining inside of him, every nerve in his body was registering a message of pain. Fox gave several agonized squeaks and then began to dry-retch, his muscles shaking uncontrollably.

Ferd: I love this bit…

With every violent dry-retch, Fox experienced a painful muscular spasm. He had cramps in his neck, shoulders and stomach-muscles and it was getting too much for him to bear. Fox gave a final, silent dry-retch and a thin trickle of silvery light fell from his mouth and onto the floor. A triumphant look glinted in Ferd’s eyes as Fox crumpled into a ball on the floor, whimpering pitifully.

Ferd: bye bye, Fox. You’re not going to be fighting again in a hurry. I’m not done with you yet. Once this battle is over, I’ll take you down to the factory and make an example of you for the other vulpine slime. Now to dispose of the other three…

Ness hoped that Fox would be O.K. Normally he would have tried to protect his disabled friend, but now he had to look after himself. Ferd splashed the remaining poison onto the Dark Missionary and it reeled with pleasure, its power growing stronger by the second as the poison took effect.

Ness: you guys have to defeat Ferd!

Mr. Game and Watch nodded. He sprinted over to Ferd and tried to use a Cement attack (F-air), but Ferd dodged and grabbed him by the nose.
Jeff realized that his guns wouldn’t be much use here. He pulled out his combat Yo-yo and swung it in an ark, hitting Ferd in the temple. Ferd dropped Mr. Game and Watch and clutched his head. This gave Jeff to pull out his defense shower and cover all his allies with a healthy spray. Some of the spray landed on the Dark Missionary, and it’s dark defenses seemed to thin out a bit.

By now, Mr. Game and Watch had jumped up into the air and attempted to use a Key on Ferd. The attack connected with the spiking part and Ferd was pinned to the ground for a few seconds before Mr. Game and Watch hit him with the deadly Manhole attack. Ferd landed on his desk, breaking it in two.

G&W: shazoom, you evil bum-flap! Fear my super household-Ninja skillz!

Ferd got to his feet and was instantly knocked back down again by Game and Watch’s chair. He rolled away and ran at him, his arm outstretched for a grab.
Mr. Game and Watch couldn’t move out of the way in time, Ferd grabbed him and threw him into the air. Mr. Game and Watch looked down and received a flying kick right in the face.

Ferd: you stupid flat robot! Do you honestly think you have enough range to make it past my legs? Fool!

Jeff was busy trying to help Fox, and Ness was still frantically battling the Dark Missionary. Mr. Game and Watch was on his own against Ferd.
Just right then, the Dark Missionary decided to attack Jeff. Ness rushed over and tried a PSI paralysis on Ferd. Bad move, Ferd put up his reflector and Ness’s body went numb.
Mr. Game and Watch jumped out of the way of Ferd’s long legs. The horse scowled at him and stood over Fox’s body, placing one of his hard hooves on Fox’s heaving chest.

Ferd: your psychic powers and projectiles are useless against me. I’m also a lot stronger physically than any of you, so taking me down is going to be one challenge you won’t complete in a hurry!

Fox screwed his eyes shut and prayed that Ferd wouldn’t hurt him. The pain was starting to become bearable, but he was still in no condition to carry on the fight. The viscous stabbing pains and cramps severely limited his options. He felt helpless and tired.

Mr. Game and Watch, on the other hand, was attacking Ferd as best he could with all his attacks. Very few of them made it past Ferd’s powerful kicks, and Mr. Game and Watch’s head was starting to resemble a paper plate wrapped in tinfoil.

Ness used his PSI to heal his paralysis and ran over to help Fox. He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Ferd standing over his fallen ally. Ness gripped his baseball bat and charged.

Ferd: Idiot!

Ferd’s arms shot out and grabbed the Magicant bat mid-swing. Ness cried out as Ferd wrenched his weapon from his grasp and brought it crashing down on Mr. Game and Watch.
Ferd was now armed with a baseball bat…and very dangerous.

Ness: craaaaaa**p!

G&W: aaaawwh!! It hurts!

Ferd cackled with delight and swung the bat with slow, ominous movements.

Ferd: hahahaha…I love hearing your cries of pain. We’ll see just how tough you are once I take your kneecaps off!

Ness needed another weapon. PSI Ripoff d would be ideal, but would leave him with no PP to fight the Dark Missionary, which was busy attacking Jeff. Ness jumped alongside Mr. Game and Watch and got into a fighting stance.

G&W: Ness! I don’t have any weapons that can outreach the bat, or his legs! What do I do?

Ness: you need to find a way to match his range…don’t you have a handy attack you can use that is light to hold and has decent range?

Mr. Game and Watch thought for a minute and then pulled out his turtle.

G&W: how about this?

Ness: that’ll do perfectly. Now you just need to try to find a way to use it quickly and safely…

Ness jumped to dodge a swing from the bat. Ferd was still standing over Fox, making sure that nobody could heal him. Mr. Game and Watch held out the turtle and shorthopped at Ferd. The turtle’s sharp edge slipped past Ferd’s defenses and sliced into his skin. Ferd shouted in surprise as the light-blood began to flow from the wound on his arm.

Ferd: Aaaargh! You cut me! F#$%!! I’ll pop your heads like watermelons!

Ferd swung at Mr. Game and Watch, who L-cancelled the turtle and ran as fast as his cowardly legs would carry him. FLASH! Something seemed to click inside Mr. Game and Watch’s mind. He held his turtle into the air, as it was shining.

Ness: uh? What’s that?
______________________--------------______________________
-Mr. Game and Watch- NEW ADVANCED TECH: TURTLEDANCE!!
____---------------________________________

G&W: I think I just learned an advanced tech! It’s called the Turtledance!!

Ness: a new advanced tech? I thought you didn’t have any advanced techs!

G&W: you used to think that about yourself before you discovered the DjC and all your Fakes!

Ness: yeah!

Mr. Game and Watch held the turtle out to his side and hopped at Ferd again, the turtle buzzing dangerously. Ferd received another wound along his arm. He angrily swiped at Mr. Game and Watch with the bat, but Mr. Game and Watch nimbly L-cancelled the move and hopped out of the way before attacking with another shorthopped turtle. Ness watched as Mr. Game and Watch turtledanced Ferd into a retreat. Now was the perfect time to heal Fox. A PSI Healing b did the trick.

Fox: aaaahh…it…the pain is gone! Thanks Ness!

Ness: thank Mr. Game and Watch. He was the one who got Ferd off your back.

Mr. Game and Watch now had Ferd in check. He had danced the horse into a corner and was now preparing to execute a super special attack to finish Ferd off.

G&W: WHIRLING FLAMER!!

Mr. Game and Watch struck Ferd with his Torch and then spun his flat body like a Top. Because he is 2D, the stick only appears when the front of his body comes parallel with his outline, therefore it looked like Mr. Game and Watch’s Torch was rapidly disappearing and reappearing, hitting Ferd every time. By the tenth hit, Ferd crashed to the floor, covered in burns and slash-marks. He grunted and tried to stand, but he was too weak to move very much.

Ferd: YOU FREAKS!! YOU FILTHY, FOX-LOVING FREAKS!! AAAAARGH!! You can kill me and blow up this entire planet for all I care, but YOU’LL NEVER DEFEAT THE KFC! SOMEWHERE IN THE GALAXY THERE’S ANOTHER PERSON WHO’LL TAKE MY PLACE AS BOSS, MARK MY WORDS!!

Before Ferd got to shout anything else, the Dark Missionary picked him up and sunk its teeth deep into his neck. Ferd gave a tortured scream, turned purple and then hung limp in the Dark Missionary’s hand.

Dark Missionary: this weakling…I don’t need him any more…sssssssttttt…(hatE)…I’ll take what’s left of his life and add it to mine…(dEaTh)…This dimension is crawling with victims I can torture (EviL) and add to my power, you don’t stand a chance against Giygas’s Followers!

Ness grabbed the Channeler’s baton and drove it deep into the Dark Missionary’s leg. It screeched and the dark magic barrier thinned to nothing, making it even more vulnerable than before. Now Ness used a Lifeup C, causing the black form of the Missionary shimmer and fluctuate. Fox watched in awe as Ness proceeded single-handedly destroy the enemy using powers of healing and light that he would never have.

Ness extended his hand and healed the Dark Missionary one final time. It dispersed into nothing, gone forever. He had destroyed the second Dark Missionry.

Fox: GO NESS!!

Jeff: YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!

G&W: WHOO! BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!!

Everyone ran into the center of the room to engage in a big group-hug. Fox was crying, and Jeff’s glasses had already started to get fogged up. Ness felt the salty tears run down his arm, and he realized that this was the first time in ages that Ness had seen Fox cry…with joy.

Fox: (sniff) I’m so grateful to have friends like you. Do you know what we’ve just done? We’ve struck a devastating blow to the KFC!

Ness: so what Ferd said is true! We haven’t really defeated the KFC?

Fox glanced over to the lifeless body of Ferd and then back at Ness.

Fox: No…I doubt that it’s possible to truly wipe out the KFC, but they’ll never be as organized or as dangerous after this. They’ll be afraid to strike now, and since the Dark Missionary is dead, half of them will probably realize what they’ve done and desert.

Ness: oh yeah…I bet Ferd was using the Dark Missionary to twist the hatred of many people and cause them to join the KFC! Now only die-hard fox haters like Ferd will be left!

Fox: and General Pepper deals with them! GIMME A FIVE!!

Everybody clapped hands. Fox smiled and glanced around the room. Now there was a rather huge task ahead of them.

Jeff: we have to find some way to get all the paranoid foxes off the planet.

Fox walked over to Ferd’s desk and sat down in the chair, pressing several buttons. A video camera swiveled to face him.

Fox: first we’ll have to cure them of their paranoia…the sight of another fox telling them that they’re safe might help…

@#$%@#$%^@$^@^#$^)_*)((*(*(98098908098

Down in the bowels of the factory, three fox slaves were repairing a boiler, overseen by two KFC guards. One of the guards, a thin male beagle, began to feel slightly uneasy and have thoughts of regret. One of the foxes placed his hand on a hot plate and cried out in pain.

Guard no2: shut your face, fox! You shout one more time and I’ll slit your throat!

The fox whimpered and continued with his work, holding his injured hand by his side.

Guard no1: can’t you just go easy on those foxes for once, you bloody sadist?

The second guard almost fell over with shock.

Guard no2: you aren’t showing pity for those foxes, are you?

Guard no1: what if I am? How’d you like it if you were treated like that, eh?

Guard no2: traitor! Just you wait, I’m gonna tell the boss on you!

The first guard was about to say something when the big screen in the corner turned on and the loudspeaker crackled to life. Both guards were shocked beyond compare when Fox’s grinning face popped up instead of their boss’s.

Fox: all KFC members in the building, drop your weapons and lie on the floor. I’ve just exterminated your boss, so you now have to do exactly as I say, or my friend who is a psychic prodigy will send you all straight to the cornfield. HAHAHA!!

Both the bewildered guards placed their weapons on the ground and backed against the wall. The horrified foxes were too confused and frightened to move. What was this strange fox doing in their master’s office? He was going to get himself killed!

Fox: right, now that we have that sorted out, I wish to address all the foxes in the building. Do not be afraid, I repeat, do not be afraid. You are no longer slaves. I’m setting you all free. Ferd doesn’t have any power over you anymore, and neither does anyone in this building. Do not believe what they told you, you are not creatures of evil. The Kill Foxes Cult have been trying to brainwash you into believing that you have no right to be alive, this is not true! None of you will be hurt, and you won’t have to drink that vile poison ever, ever again! We’ll be sending in a rescue squad to sort you all out as soon as possible. They are your friends and you don’t need to be scared of them.

The screen turned off. The three foxes stared in disbelief at the blank screen. After a few moments of silence, the youngest of them spoke.

Slave fox no1: is…is that true? Are we really free?

The other two blinked and rubbed their eyes.

Slave fox no2: I think it is…we’re free…

#$^%#$%^#$%^#$%^@#$%^@#$^@#$%@#$%

Not more than a few hours later, General Pepper and his troops had stormed in and arrested all of the KFC members. The rescue party had tended to all the foxes, who were all standing silently and gratefully in a small group.
General Pepper himself strode over to Fox and extended his hand. Fox went to shake it and General Pepper quickly jerked it back and put it in his pocket.

Pepper: good work Fox, I have to admit, you do your job well, you fluffy sh…uh…yeah. Although I don’t like them, seeing those freed foxes warms my heart. I’ll be transferring your fee soon. Don’t blow it like you did last time.

Fox: don’t worry, I won’t.

It didn’t take Ness, Fox, Game and Watch and Jeff to get back to Cornaria, and when they did, the news team was there to greet them along with the rest of their party.

Paula: NESS! WHY DIDN’T YOU LET ME COME!!?

Poo: WAH!!

Adeline: Jeff, you’re safe!! WHEEEE!!

Adeline threw her arms around Jeff and made him blush like a cooked lobster.

Fox tried to get over to Slippy and Peppy, but the news team blocked his way.

Reporter: Mr. McCloud, you have just struck a tremendous blow to one of the most hostile gangs in the universe, how do you feel?

Reporter 2: pose for a photo in WHAT? Magazine!

Reporter 3: Sign this contract, we want to get you on Television for an interview!

Ness barged them all out of the way. He knew what it was like to be crushed by the press.

Slippy: HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! GOOOOO FOX! FOX, FOX, FOX FOR STAR! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Krystal wrapped herself around Fox and began pampering him in front of all the flashing cameras. Fox turned and struck a salute.

Fox: I was just doing my job!

The crowd cheered.

(((()))))))))))))((((((((()))))))))))((((((()))))))(((((())))))(((((((()))))))))((((((())))))))
Prepare yourselves for Part 4: coming up next update. What happened to Jigglypuff? Will Ness and his friends arrive at Talon IV before it’s too late? (most likely.) YOU’LL JUST HAVE TO FIND OUT!!

 

[Creature_85]

That was a great update. Keep it up.

 

[MewtwoMaster2002]

Great update. I wonder who is the threat on Tallon IV.

 

[KingMewtwo1112]

It has been a thousand years since I last replied to this topic.

But that doesn't mean I still love this fic. :D

A GREEEEEEEEATTTTTTTTTT update there, Nessbounder!


...........Adeline hugging Jeff, lol.

 

[PsiFlameMaster]

hey, im back and there's a great new update! yay! the battle was nice, and i like the way Ferd kept being annoying by powering up the dark missionary. it adds to the atmosphere of the fight. one thing i dont get is the light blood. is it just like normal blood but glowing white, and is it a property of the Lylat system dimension, and other stuff? what did happen to Jigglypuff? we'll c later then. bye all!

 

[Lightning Snake]

G&W: shazoom, you evil bum-flap! Fear my super household-Ninja skillz!

LOL!
Anyway, that was a great update! Keep it up!

 

[NESSBOUNDER]

Haven't any of you played Starfox Adventures? You know when you defeat an enemy, all that light pours out? That's light blood, and yes, The Lylat System is a light-for-blood dimension. (Ness said that earlier in the story as well.)

In this fic, there are light-for-blood dimensions (Lylat System, etc.)

Normal-blood dimensions (Crossing dimension, etc.)

And no-blood dimensions (Mushroom Kingdom, Pokeworld, etc.)

Just thought I'd let you know so as to clear up any confusion.

 

[Iamdead7]

i love the fic. keep it coming

CHAPTER 8: PART 4

Fox awoke with a start. The ray of sunlight that shone into his eyes did a good job of waking him up, that’s for sure. He got wearily up and sat on the bed, staring out the window. Recently, he’d been having a lot of dreams…or to be precise, the same one over and over again. The dream he’d first had in the Mushroom Kingdom seemed to have replaced his normal recurring nightmare about that one time on Dinosaur Planet.
Fox stretched and yawned. The dream no longer scared him, he’d gotten used to it by now. He flopped back onto the bed and his back fell across something furry…

Fox: EEEEAAARGH!!!

Krystal: UH!! You woke me up!

Fox: WHATTAREYOUDOINGINMYBED!!??!? HOWWDYOGETHEREEH? WHATD’DYOUDOTHATFOR!??!? DOYOUWANNAGIVMEAHEARTATTACK???

Krystal: hush, Fox. It was cold last night, so I thought I might as well snuggle up to you.

Fox: YOUR ROOM HAS HEATING!!!!

Krystal: it’s just not comfortable for me. You don’t mind, do you?

Fox: HECK, YEAH!! I MIND A LOT!! HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?

Krystal sat up in the bed slightly and leaned on one elbow.

Krystal: Slippy told me the combination to your room.

Fox: how the #$% did he get my room combination?? Did…did…(sniff) what’s that smell? (sniff) it smells like…WHAT THE $@#$^!!! SLIPPY!!!! GET HERE NOW!!

Fox had shouted so loud that it could be heard in the hangar room. Slippy came running in, dressed in his Bumble the Dancing P*ss-off night cap and pajamas, and still holding his Bumble doll.

Slippy: WHAT, FOX!!?

Krystal: tone it down, Slippy, my head hurts.

Slippy glanced at Krystal and then at Fox and chuckled accusingly.

Slippy: oooooooooh, Foooooooooox…you seem to be getting a little more adventurous nowadays…

Fox: SHUDDUP, SLIPPY! I NEVER INVITED HER IN…SHE JUST CAME BY HERSELF!

Slippy: yeah, just keep telling yourself that, stud boy.

Fox looked like he was going to drop-kick Slippy in the groin. He obviously thought against it, considering that it was NOT a good idea to increase the pitch of Slippy’s voice any more than it already was.

Fox: Slippy, WHERE YOU THE ONE WHO CAME IN HERE LAST NIGHTS AGO AND SPRAYED “Essence of Love Flower” Deodorant ALL OVER MY TAIL!!?

Slippy looked absolutely 100% guilty.

Slippy: why, me? Never! I wouldn’t do a thing like that, you know I have nothing against your foxy smell.

Fox: It was you, and don’t you lie. You picked the lock and sprayed me in my sleep, didn’t you?

Slippy: yeah, it was me. I just wanted to play a practical joke on you, that’s all.

Fox: some joke! I’m allergic to Love Flower perfume!! Any minute now, my fur is going to bristle up and I’ll sneeze. A…ah…ATCH!!

Fox’s fur fluffed out like a coat of needles. He glared at Slippy and blew his nose on a tissue. Just at that moment, Ness came in.

Ness: what happened to you? You look like you’ve be shot with a taser!

Slippy: he’s allergic to the stuff I put on his tail to make it smell nice.

Ness: hey, do Lylatian foxes cover up their natural odors using deodorants and stuff? We learned about it at school, that foxes are the only members of the dog family that secrete smells for marking and such.

Fox: no, we don’t cover it up! That’s a natural secretion, and it’s not even a nasty smell. Slippy’s just an idiot, what on earth made you think of spraying my tail with that…that stuff?

Krystal: I have to admit, that’s a nice perfume, but I prefer Fox’s natural scent…it’s more sexy…sort of.

Ness: wh…uh…hi Krystal…what are you doing in Fox’s bed? …….

Ness whistled casually and rocked on his heels.

Ness: hey Fox. I thought you had a phobia of…

Fox: I DO!! ATCH!! (sniff) SHE CAME IN WHILE I WAS ASLEEP!! ATCH!! (snort) ARF! Seriously Krystal, you give me the freaks. DON’T DO ANYTHING EVEN REMOTELY SORDID TO ME AGAIN!

Fox snapped at Krystal and then sneezed.

Krystal: fine. I’ll go back to my room.

Krystal got up and walked out of Fox’s room. Fox waited until she was gone and then dipped his tail into a basin of water. Gradually, his fur flattened out again.

Fox: she’s going to be trouble, I can tell.

Ness: I uh…found out where Pokey and Specll have gone to next. They’re in Samus’s dimension.

Fox: right. Now I have to get used to being human again once we get there. Bah.

Ness: by the way, Peppy gave me a message to pass on to you. It’s from Twelve!

Fox leaned over and read the piece of paper.

Dear Fox.

Thank you for saving me and my fellow prisoners from the clutches of the KFC. I found out a lot of things thanks to you. Now I know that I am not a lower animal, and that I can be respected by others. I also found out what my real name is and who my parents where.
I’ll always remember you for what you’ve done.

Signed- Rusty (or No. 12)

Fox: Rusty, eh? What a name, imagine being called Rusty! He should stick to his number!

Ness: Rusty suits him! Your name is not exactly that perfect, either.

Fox: shuddup.

Slippy: WHAT?? I DON’T UNDERSTAND A THING YOU’RE SAYING!! HEY, MY SHOW IS ON!!

Slippy turned on the TV and the new Bumble the Dancing P*ss off Show came onto the screen. This time, it actually had dialogue!

Bumble: hello kids! Welcom to the new Bumble the Dancing P*ss off Show! Today I’m going to introduce you to our new friend, Slippy!

Slippy squealed loudly. Everyone stared at the screen as Slippy walked in dressed up like a wedding cake. There was a round of giggles in the room.

TV Slippy: HI, I’M SLIPPY!!

Bumble: Slippy, what happens when a house robot kicks you between your legs?

TV Slippy: It hurts and you go “EEEEE!”

Bumble: and that brings us to our lesson of the day, don’t mess around with house robots, especially ones with legs, or you’ll end up with a voice like Slippy’s. NOW LET’S DANCE! (doing doing doindeladongdondnd.)

Slippy was pointing at the screen and yelling “THAT’S ME!” when Paula, Jeff, Poo, Mr. Game and Watch and Adeline all came into the room. Paula thrust a plunger into Slippy’s hand.

Paula: you need to fix the plumbing. The toilets in this place are psycho.

Slippy: really? Let’s have a look.

Slippy walked over to Fox’s private toilet and flushed it. The toilet said “PHLEAH!! And a geyser of water erupted in Slippy’s face and gurgled loudly as it festered back down the pipeline.

Slippy: ah…well I’ll have to go and check on that.

Ness looked at Fox. Fox was fluffy again.

Ness: after you’ve had a shower and eaten breakfast, can we go out onto the Great Fox and teleport?

Fox: yeah, whatever. ATCH!!

Rawk berry: OIL!!

###############$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$#################$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Jigglypuff opened her eyes slowly and allowed the flickering light to enter her retinas. She sat up in the bed of seaweed that she was in and looked around. She was still under the sea, but there was no sign of Medicham, Contrast or Charizard. The last thing she remembered was fighting Klyncher and two Sharpedo. Memories of the battle were hazy, but Jigglypuff recalled going down to Klyncher’s crabhammer attack. She thought she was done for, but it seemed this was not the case.

Electra: oh, you’ve come to…

Jigglypuff looked up at the Lanturn princess and blinked.

Jigglypuff: who are you? Where are my friends?

Electra: your friends are fine. Don’t worry. You won the fight against that gigantic Crawdaunt. Amazing, I never thought it could be possible for such a miracle to happen. That Medicham is a seasoned fighter, but I can’t say the same about your Charizard friend…he’s not so well, he copped a critical hit from Klyncher’s crabhammer and it knocked him out cold. He’s regenerating just over there.

Jigglypuff looked over to see Charizard lying in a bed of seaweed. She hadn’t noticed him earlier. Ageless came floating in, his armor was scarred.

Ageless: still, you would have lost the fight. It was great that you distracted that vile Crawdaunt long enough for our remaining Lanturn fighters to attack him. There’s no way even he could survive thirty thousand volts of electricity!

Jigglypuff: wow. That must have been some shock!

Ageless: yes, it was. Without you and your friends, we would never have gotten a shot at him. Thank you. You must be from the surface resistance, no?

Jigglypuff: yes. We’re on our way over to Mr. Pyre to spy on Deoxis.

Electra: what a half-baked idea.

Charizard had just woken. He yawned and stretched, punching Medicham in the face. Medicham shouted a word which was obviously intended to be very rude.

Jigglypuff: we’re glad we could help…that means there are only four more R.O. T. N. s left, and only three if Pikachu and the army have destroyed Spiteshade.

Just then, a messenger Horsea appeared. He coughed loudly to get everyone’s attention.

Horsea: I JUST RECEIVED A MESSAGE FROM THE SURFACE-DWELLERS. THEY HAVE TRIUMPHED OVER THE ENEMY. LET US ALL LIMBO!! (frooty music.)

Jigglypuff: I knew they’d do it.

Electra: indeed. Let’s hope that Deoxis gives them some time to recuperate…If he decides to attack with his psychic army, then they are going to be in for a hard, hard battle.

Contrast: why?

Ageless: I have seen the one they call Sylph’s army. It is dangerous! Much more dangerous than Spiteshade’s army of ghosts. Psychic types can predict your strategies, they can read minds and attack from a long distance away.

Jigglypuff: eeegh. Psychic types have always scared me…

Just then, Charizard got up and started to talk loudly.

Charizard: WHOO!! DID YOU SEE ME KICK THAT CRAWDAUNT’S TAIL? I WAS LIKE, SO COOL!

Medicham: he brained you with his crabhammer attack and you went down like a sack of spuds. We had to defend you for the rest of the battle! It was me who defeated the Crawdaunt and Contrast and Jigglypuff who took care of the Sharpedo. You didn’t do anything!

Charizard: shh! Don’t tell that to my ego!

Ageless: I thank you for your help, surface friends. Now I believe it is time for you to return to your world above. Simply hold on to the Lanturn escorts and you should be above water in no time at all. I bid you farewell.

Electra: good luck! Be careful, Jigglypuff!

Jigglypuff turned and waved to Electra and Ageless as the Lanturn escorts towed her back towards the surface. Now she simply had to get to Mount Pyre, which was not going to be an easy task.

000000000000000000000000009999999999000000000000000000000

Samus: I have macaroni in my suit!

Samus was standing in a dank, smelly temple, squirming like a little girl who’d sat on an eel. Next to her, Falco was examining some hieroglyphs on the walls. In this dimension, Falco had been transformed into a Chozo. He hated it. Sighing with annoyance, Falco took aim threw a brick at her. It hit Samus on her left shoulder pad.

Falco: I saw you putting that macaroni in there earlier this morning!! You did it on purpose! Heck, if I knew that you’d be this annoying, I would have stayed at the Academy, eating ice-cream!

Samus: but it feels weird. You should try it some time, Falco.

Falco: *give me strength!*

Samus: I’m surprised we haven’t found the evil in this dimension yet. We’ve searched every temple and crumbling artifact thoroughly and all I found was my old bra, which I left here on my last trip to Talon IV! It’s still in perfect condition!

Falco shot Samus a disgusted look and turned back to the wall. Samus screamed loudly.

Falco: WHAT NOW??

Samus: look, a slimy, wobbly insect-like creature on the wall! YUK! YUK, I hate bugs! DIE, BUG!

Samus blasted the bug into thousands of little chunks. It’s green innards went all over Falco’s face. He shouted and fell on his bum.

Falco: SAMUS!! JUST STOP SHOOTING THINGS!!

Samus: oh, alright. I’ll kick the next one instead.

Falco: I wonder how that idiot Captain Falcon is going. I hope he’s had more luck than we have.

Meanwhile, in the hillbilly side of the Galactic System…

C. Falcon: YEEEE-HAW!! I BET THREE-THOUSAND CREDITS ON MY NIPPLE CAPS! RAAARH!!

Captain Falcon jumped up onto the poker table and tore off his shirt. Everyone in the casino simply ignored him. Samurai Goroh shook his head and played another ace.

Goroh: hit me, Stuart.

Dr. Stuart dealt a card to Goroh. Goroh looked at the card and swore.

Goroh: HECK!

Stuart: I’d like to hit Falcon, if you know what I mean.

C. Falcon: YEAAAAAAAAH!! HIT ME ONE MORE TIME, BAAYBEE!! (Gets funky on the poker table, scattering cards everywhere.)

Phoenix: oh get over yourself, Falcon!

C. Falcon: I CAN DO THAT!!! HAAAARH! (does a back-flip.)

KA-BLAM!! A portal opened up in the middle of the casino and everyone dived for cover. Ness, Fox, Paula, Jeff, Poo, Mr. Game and Watch and Adeline came blasting through, upsetting pool tables, and poker machines and dancing girls. When Ness opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Captain Falcon towering over him without a shirt.

C. Falcon: OH MY DOG! IT’S NESS! WITHOUT HIS BIG HEAD! HOW THE @#$% DID YOU GET HERE, EH?

Ness: oh cr@p, now I’ve done it…

C. Falcon: AND WHO IS THIS GUY?

Ness: that is Fox.

C. Falcon: could have fooled me! Fox is furry! This guy is not!

Fox: I am Fox. It’s just that when you’re dimension-travelling, you change species and styles.

C. Falcon: Johnny says you’re lying! He says you’re not Fox!

Captain Falcon bent over and stuck out his bum. Fox groaned and shook his head.

Fox: Falcon…look at my clothes, my gun, my helmet and my hair colour. Now imagine me with a snout, fox ears and a tail. Do I look like Fox?

C. Falcon: Hey, you’re right! You ARE Fox!

Ness: have you found the evil in this dimension yet, Falcon?

Captain Falcon jumped into the air and Falcon Kicked a snooker table.

C. Falcon: NO! I HAVN’T BEEN LOOKING!

Everyone: -_-‘

Ness: ah well…are you going to introduce us to your friends?

C. Falcon: OH YEAH, This is Phoenix, Dr. Stuart, Samurai Goroh and James McCloud…

There was a moment of silence. Fox narrowed his eyes and started to stutter.

Fox: e-excuse me…b-but did you just say his name was…James McCloud?

The man standing just two meters away from Fox was wearing an identical uniform to Fox’s. He also had sunglasses on and bore a spooky resemblance to Fox’s human form. Fox just stared with open eyes. James placed his hand on his chin and studied Fox closely.

James: hmm…you know what, you remind me of my five-year old son.

Ness: ………uh……what’s your son’s name?

James: my son’s name? I called him Fox. You know, after that Fox Jason guy who invented the anti-gravity barrel.

There was another round of awkward silence. Ness opened his mouth and made several gestures with his hands before speaking.

Ness: okey, in all my years of dimension travelling, I have NEVER seen anything like this before…

Fox was now making weird noises and opening and closing his mouth like a fish. He looked completely confused. Fox fixed James with a soppy, puppy-dog stare and spoke in a quiet, squeaky voice.

Fox: daddy…

James: what? What did he say?

Ness: Oh, HE SAID NOTHING, DIDN’T YOU FAWKES? (nudge, nudge, elbow, elbow.)

Fox slapped himself and retained a serious expression.

Fox: sorry Ness…I…just got a little bit emotional…but how is this happening?? This guy looks like a human version of my dead father! He even has the same name and all that!

Ness: uh…James…what do you do for a profession?

James: I’m a mercenary fighter. I’m the head of Galaxy Dog. You’ve heard of Galaxy Dog, havn’t you?

Fox: I-I-I-I sure have…

Ness: right…this is starting to weird me out.

C. Falcon: WELL DON’T JUST STAND THERE, GOGGLING LIKE A BUNCH OF DRUNKS!! LET’S KNEE A SLOT MACHINE!! AAAARGH!!

Captain Falcon flew across the room and power kneed a slot machine, sending pieces of shrapnel flying across the room in an explosion of coins. Needless to say, all of them where violently expelled from the casino and into the Mute city streets. Phoenix, Goroh and Stuart got to their feet and stormed off.

Phoenix: Falcon, you are the biggest buttmunch I have ever seen! I’m off to do something cool.

Goroh: you stink, Falcon! Waaah!

Stuart: I’ve known a mental case who was less spedly than you! Hmph!

James: ah well, I gotta go. I have to go and see Fox’s baseball match. It’s a big one. See ya!

Ness shoved Fox off his body and looked at Captain Falcon, who was repeatedly punching at the air.

Ness: Falcon…I think we really should start looking for the evil in your dimension…and I think we should find Samus.

Rawk berry: au.

Captain Falcon stopped punching and went into a state of contemplative thought.

Falcon: actually, that’s not a bad idea. And I know just how we can find her! Come on, my racer is parked out the back.

Paula: that guy is so unpredictable! One minute he’s crazy, and now he’s cool!

Jeff: are you alright Fox?

Fox: just a little bit creeped out, that’s all.

Adeline: come on, hold my hand, Jeff!

23094820349580349560923860928346098340985649058
Where is the evil in the Galactic System? Why is Captain Falcon so weird? What is going on with Jeff and Adeline? Keep reading this fic to find out! MAHARH!

 

[MewtwoMaster2002]

LOL I haven't laughed sooo hard since....uh weeks ago. Great update. Oh and didn't Falco use Masterhand's teleporter? If he did he wasn't supposed to change form, right?

 

[ZeekeXIV]

Hey Nessbounder.

I just finished reading the two chapters on your fic. I love the comedy! I'll be reading the rest soon.

I've been writing up a fic too.

Super Smash Brothers: Odyssey

Check it out!

 

[NESSBOUNDER]

Master Hand's telepor...ooh, I HATE that E-bay poppup!! DARN YOU! EAT MOUSE CLICK, STUPID ADD OF DARKNESS! (clicks on the "X")

Now where was I? Oh yes, The teleporter still does the species/style change. It always happens when dimension travelling by any means in this fic.

Welcome to the fic, ZeekXIV and Iamdead7. Glad you like it. I will check out Odessey later.

Chow.

 

[MewtwoMaster2002]

So how does Falco turn into a Chozo instead of staying in his normal form? Doesn't the Galactic system have walking and talking creatures like Bio Rex if it includes the F-Zero dimension? More importantly I never knew that Samus and Falcon were from the same dimension. But then it's your perspective so I can't complain=/ . Well still I laughed when Falco changed into a Chozo even though he isn't wise and such.

 

[ultimaiq2]

Wow finaly got too page 14, and it only took me a week. Anyway this has too be the best fic I've read since the ssbm survivor on gamefaqs.

Diden't Falcon crash his racer at the academy? or does he have lots of them?

Anyway, your writing skills are impressive, and im GOING too keep on reading SSBM: Academy of smash. Let's see now, my rating would be.......5

 

[Creature_85]

Great update. Charizard rules! (even if he didn't do anything)

 

[choknater]

Wow NESSBOUNDER. You're right up there with The Duck in being faithful for huge amounts of time in your fic. Well, after the eighth update or so, back in the day, I stopped reading because reading bores me, but I remember that this story is hilarious.

That'd be awesome if you're cool enough to make your story longer than The Duck's. :D (I thought his was really going to be endless... but everything that has a beginning has an end, Neo.)

Well, I don't know what's happening, but funny update nonetheless.

 

[PsiFlameMaster]

i agree with Creature, 'Zard rox anyway! lol. i guess no one noticed the very last line with Adeline and Jeff, but o well.

Some of the best parts of this fic come from C. Falcon with all his spedlyness! i guess ness would look more like this in the dimension they're in now:

anyway, gtg, bye.

 

[NESSBOUNDER]

Heh! You guys are so cool. I seriously appreciate all your support.
Yeah, Ness is just a kid in a hat, kinda like that picture, except with normal eyes.

MEWTWOMASTER2002, there's nothing to say that C. Falcon and Samus DON'T come from the same dimension. In fact, Jodie Summers from F-zero X actually appears to work for the Galactic federation, which could be the same one Samus works for.

I might not be able to fit in an update this weekend, but I will try.
(And it's DEFINATELY not going to be longer than the Duck's...perhaps I'll make a seperate fic for after they've finished the journey and are just having fun.)

 

[NESSBOUNDER]

CHAPTER 8: PART 5

Deoxi’s Steel and Normal armies had already began the long trek out to the Fortree area. Sylph and Keshi had been ordered to tag along for “support.” Sylph knew that support was the last thing she’d been giving. Her orders where to kill both Byter and Spinner after the war was over if they hadn’t been killed in battle. She looked unhappily at the two little Pokemon marching at the front of the two armies, leading Pokemon up to five times their size. Byter and Spinner marched on in grim determination to prove their worth to Deoxis, desperate to avoid execution. Keshi ran up to Sylph, breathing heavily. He had a hard time keeping up with his commander.

Keshi: slow down, mistress Sylph!

Sylph: sorry Keshi. I am not slowing down. You will just have to lag behind me.

Keshi: you don’t want to kill Byter and Spinner, don’t you?

Sylph: no. They are my comrades in arms! How could Deoxis expect me to do this horrible task? But I won’t argue. I’ll do whatever Deoxis tells me to.

Keshi: and I am your servant. Perhaps it will make you feel better if you order me around for a bit?

Sylph smiled inwardly. Keshi always seemed to be there to comfort her. He was more than a toadie, he was her favorite underling and she saw him as a companion rather than a servant.

Pokemon Scout: Fortree area ahead!

Byter did his best to look intimidating.

Byter: those rebels won’t know what hit them!

It was clear by the slight squeak in his voice that he was very scared. Spinner’s mouth was moving in silent prayer.

#@$@#$@#^@#$^^^^

Meanwhile, another Pokemon scout noted the arrival of a huge dust cloud in the distance. Quick as a flash, he shot down the tree he was in and ran to the rebel camp, where Breela was talking to Blaze about her old home.

Breela: I used to be a princess…I was a real missie I was…I wish it were still that way. Once you’ve taken a life, bang, your personality changes for ever.

Pikachu: Misca of Schinn…I’ll never get used to calling you by that name.

Breela: don’t. I must leave these things in the past.

Rod: yeah…she’s too butch for that name now.

Breela angrily squirted a cloud of spores in Rod’s face.

Breela: I am not butch! I’m just well-toned.

Flynn: a lady is never butch. She may be a strong freakess, but never butch.

Breela turned to Flynn and was about to say something when someone tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around to see the little Nuzleaf scout standing behind her.

Scout: Breela! Enemy armies are attacking. Two of them, the Steel and Normal armies of Deoxis are approaching. Should we present arms?

Breela: both armies? Dam! Yes, get all troops into position. They outnumber us, but we still have the advantage of mixed types on our side. Come on, let’s meet them on the battlefield!

Pikachu: Spinner…I’ve waited so long to take down that conniving schemer.

Breela: and this time, Byter gets no mercy. I’m going to introduce that little piece of slime to my fist!

Flynn: that big Aggron will pay for what he did to my wings. I swear an oath on it.

Pichu: go and hurt them! And then come back and hurt me!

Pikachu: not now, Pichu. Wait until after this war is finished, when we get back to the Academy.

@#$%@#$@#$@#$%@#$%@#$%^

In the Normal army, Ruler Of The Night Spinner was trying to recall memories of his life so far. The good times with his caring trainer, and the not-so good times under Deoxis command. Sure, he had a better chance of staying alive if he joined Deoxis, but now that he would most likely be killed in battle, was it all really worth it?
Of course it was! Spinner forced himself to think aggressively. He could fight, he could kill. And he wasn’t going to let himself be taken down by a bunch of scruffy rebels. Spinner brimmed with confidence and took up a brisk march…After five seconds, the fear started to settle in again.

Byter was taking it as best he could. “If I’m going to die, then at least Deoxis will never send me to the red room again.” He though to himself. He glanced back at Aygrinn. The massive Aggron grinned at him and spoke in a rough voice.

Aygrinn: after this battle, Deoxis said I’ll be taking over the army! I’m gonna be YOUR master!

Byter turned away and continued marching. His keen eyes caught sight of a brief a flash coming from the forest…
Something large and green rocketed our of the leaves with incredible speed, careening into Aygrinn, causing the big Steel/Rock type to fall over backwards, crushing several other Pokemon. Byter panicked as the Flygon pinned Aygrinn to the ground and used a highly damaging earthquake on his helpless foe. A war cry echoed from the forest and the entire rebel army came charging out at full force. The battle had started.

Flynn’s Earthquake covered a lot of ground, harming a lot of Byter’s troops. Byter survived by jumping up onto the back of a Skarmory to avoid the deadly quake. He suddenly had a brainwave, he would remain there, perched on the Skarmory’s back for the rest of the battle, leading his army in relative safety.

Byter: COME ON!! WE CAN FIGHT THEM!!

Byter flinched in horror as another one of Flynn’s earthquakes maimed an incredible number of his soldiers.

Byter: TAKE OUT THE FLYGON!

Four of Byter’s Skarmory fighters noted his orders and hurtled towards Flynn with their beaks drilling. Flynn was struck by the squadron of Skarmory drill pecks and screamed. He fainted almost instantly and was dragged away by several of his teammates. Byter was ecstatic! He could do this! He could win if he just tried! This idea prompted him to muster up his courage. He felt invincible. Byter jumped down off the Skarmory and prepared to enter the fray on his own.

*

Pikachu darted between the attacks flying back and forth, occasionally blasting a Skarmory or an Aggron when the chance arose. Not like Breela and Rod. Breela was bludgeoning her way through the Normal and Steel foes with ease. Spore, brick break, spore, brick break, etc. The occasional focus punch often drove her targets back so far that they wounded their teammates standing behind them.
When Breela was hurt, she would lie down and have Rod defend her as the Leftovers she held healed her life.
Pikachu tried to make as much use of himself as he could, sending off as many shocks as he dared. Battle was a constant blur for him. He never got into a face-to-face battle. It was hit and run the whole way for him. It was his best and only chance.

Suddenly, Pikachu caught sight of something that made him stop moving. There, amidst a crowd of battling Pokemon was Spinner. The Spinda was shouting orders and sending off the occasional attack into the fray. Pikachu realized that now was a time to break his running and get into a proper battle now. He shot into the crowd and sparked spinner to the ground. Spinner yelled with surprise and pain before shoving Pikachu off and standing on his feet.

Spinner: Pikachu…

Pikachu: are you ready to die, Spinner?

Spinner: I’m ready to whack you one, rebel.

Pikachu readied a thunderbolt and fried Spinner. Spinner writhed as the energy crackled around him. He wobbled to his feet and used a secret power on Pikachu, trying to cause paralysis. It didn’t work.

Pikachu readied another thunderbolt when an Exploud attacked him from behind. Spinner used this distraction to escape. The Spinda tottered agonizingly up to a Swellow and clung to its tail feathers.

Spinner: get…me off…the ground…argh!

Swellow: yes master!

Spinner sat on the Swellow’s back, eating citrus berries to restore his health. He realized now that he didn’t stand a chance in battle.

*

On the other side of the battlefield, Breela had been noticing a problem. All of her troops seemed to be weakening in attack. Every time she faced a Mawile, she also was hit by intimidate and lost some attack. Her power was now lower than it’d ever been. She signaled to a healer Abra, who teleported over to her and fed her a white herb.

Breela: thanks…I needed that. These Mawiles may not be excellent fighters, but they sure do a good job of handicapping us! I say this battle needs to end soon! I think Byter knows this, he’s been calling his fellow Mawiles to do nothing but run from battles and intimidate over and over again!

Breela looked over to her right and locked eyes with the Mawile she recognized as Byter. Instantly, her attack was cut, but Breela didn’t mind. She shot across the field and attacked Byter with a brick break. Byter saw it coming and jumped out of the way just in time.

Breela: BYTER!! IT ALL ENDS HERE!!

Byter: oh yeah! Well just TRY TO TAKE ME ON, I DARE YOU!!

Byter raised his tiny fists and struck Breela with a brick break of his own. Breela never expected the attack to be so powerful! The attack was so pumped-up that it clobbered her right into the ground. Breela groaned and looked at Byter. He had a dangerous glow around him that came from a swords dance. Byter had obviously maxed out his attack stat by using swords dance beforehand.

Breela: ooooh…(falls down.)

Byter triumphantly charged at Breela’s prone body. Just as he was about to deliver the final blow, Breela stopped playing possum and sprayed a stream of spore right into his face. Byter fell asleep and Breela began pummeling. A brick break to the head, a brick break to the head…Byter gave a tiny cry every time her fists found their mark. Breela prepared for the coup de grace…when Rod’s shouting alerted her. Rod was being attacked by a Magneton, his electricity had little effect on it, and it had paralyzed him and was blasting him with its tri-attack. Breela fled the fight to aid her friend, leaving Byter for dead.

*

From a fair distance back, Sylph watched the battle with a dark look in her eyes. She turned to Keshi who was watching intently.

Sylph: what if they win? They will be so happy and thankful to be alive…only to realize that I am to take that from them after their victory.

Keshi: don’t feel bad, Sylph. It must be done.

Sylph closed her eyes in silent contemplation.

*

Back in the heat of battle, Spinner watched as his troops slowly began to deplete in numbers. Confusion had started to erupt over who was on who’s side, as the foes had many Normal-types who would slyly blend in with those under his command. Spinner growled with frustration. There was only one thing that he could do, and that was find Byter and devise a plan, if Byter was still living.
Nimbly dodging the projectiles that flew thick and fast through the battle lines, Spinner hopped onto the back of his getaway Swellow and soared high into the air. He scanned the battlefield but could not make out where Byter would be.

Spinner: CAN YOU SEE BYTER?

Swellow: I’ll look…he is wearing a red neck band, yes?

Spinner: yes.

Swellow: I can see him down there, he looks wounded badly, I’ll take us down n-AAAARK!!

A thunderbolt blasted the Swellow, causing Spinner to be lurched off her back and free fall down to the hard field below. One thought flashed through Spinner’s mind as he saw the grass rising up to meet him.

Spinner: I’m going to die…

BAZOOM! Spinner opened his eyes to find himself floating, held in place by a psychic attack. He looked to his right and saw the Girafarig who had just saved his life.

Spinner: YOU’LL GET PREMOTED FOR THIS, MATE! I’LL MAKE SURE OF THAT!!

As soon as his feet touched the ground, the Spinda warlord raced over to his fallen comrade. Byter struggled to look feebly up from where he was lying. He coughed and blinked unsurely.

Byter: Spinner…is that you?

Spinner stared into Byter’s large, wet eyes. Something inside of him gave way, like a rusty spring. All thoughts of battle left him. All Spinner wanted now was to get away. To get away from this mindless slaughter and never speak of Deoxis again. Perhaps he could hide somewhere where he could never be found by his leader. It would be a miserable existence, but anything had to be better than this.

Spinner: I’m not gonna let you die, Byter! I’m going to protect you with my life! Then we’ll run away and no-one will ever find us! I’m not gonna let any Pokemon kill you Byter! You’re the bravest Pokemon I’ve ever known!

Byter looked up at Spinner with weary, fatigued eyes. Bruises and cuts covered his face from Breela’s assault.

Byter: don’t waste your energy Spinner…save yourself…I’m not going to make it. Please, I don’t want you to end up like me…t…this is for you…I want you to have it, maybe it will save your life…here. Take it.

Byter held out his little paw to Spinner. He was clutching a long, glowing rod of light. Spinner extended his shaking paw and took it.

Byter: that’s a baton with three…swords dances in it…it just might give you a fighting chance…to help you survive.

Byter lifted his head to look into Spinner’s tear-filled eyes. Ever since he’d known Spinner, they had been friends. Spinner seemed the only Pokemon he’d ever know who didn’t treat him like dirt. Byter stared at his friend and managed a tiny smile. Spinner was lucky enough to have two perfect dots on either side of his face, just next to his eyes. His gentle face always seemed to have a calming effect on Byter.

Byter: tell Sylph…thank you for trying to make me feel better…

Spinner held Byter’s head in his hands as his friend fainted out cold. A friend who had always had it worse than him, who was orphaned at an extremely young age and who had led a life of sorrow. Spinner clutched the glowing baton in his left paw and screamed at the sky.

Spinner: I WON’T LET THEM KILL YOU!!!

With his newfound power, Spinner hoisted Byter up onto his shoulders. He would try to get his friend to safety where perhaps he could nurse him back to health. Then they could hide together, away from all this fighting. Byter deserved another chance at life.
Any Pokemon that blocked Spinner’s path went down to Spinner’s double-edge. Spinner didn’t even care about his health any more, only about Byter’s. He slammed his body into his foes with reckless ferocity, making sure that Byter never got damaged. All the flying types had been either destroyed or had fled the battle, all Spinner could do was run and attack. And after running and attacking for what seemed like eternity, Spinner’s health was running low. He stopped running and looked, panting, at what seemed like the end of the battlefield. He was going to succeed. No-one was going to stop him. He was the mighty Spinner, Master of Normal-types…

KABLAM! Spinner’s mind was shattered as he felt the weight on his back disappear, and flakes of ash fall across his back and paws. Spinner turned around to see Pikachu behind him, in a thunderbolt pose. Pikachu straightened up and smirked.

Pikachu: thought you could make a runner, didn’t you, Spinner? That’s one more down and your next.

Spinner held his ashy paws up to his face. As tears fell from his eyes onto the black powder he held in his hands, the scene in front of him slowly began to turn red. Spinner threw Byter’s remains to the ground and roared in a voice that could be heard all over the battlefield.

Spinner: BYTEEEERRR!!


Pikachu didn’t even have time to think. Spinner hurtled into him at a speed unlike anything he’d ever witnessed before, with the power of a meteorite crashing into the earth. The revenge-driven double-edge attack drove Pikachu a full hundred meters, rendering him completely senseless. Spinner’s face was screwed into a hateful scowl as he dragged his broken body towards Pikachu. His mind had once again changed. This time, he wanted to kill, kill, kill.

If it hadn’t have been for the Girafarig who’d saved his life earlier, Spinner might have succeeded in destroying Pikachu. But the loyal Psychic/Normal type picked his wounded leader up with his Psychic powers and placed him on his back.

Girafarig: we’re losing this battle, sir. I know I’m not a general, but all our generals are dead. I’m going to call a retreat, it’s for the best, please understand. I don’t want to die as much as you do, so let’s just flee this!

The Girafarig called for a retreat and galloped off, followed by the remaining members of the Steel and Normal armies. Breela watched as her enemies turned tail, and gave a whoop of joy.

Breela: THEY’RE RETREATING!! WE DID IT! WE BEAT THEM!

Flynn: VICTORY!

The leader of the rebels began to jump with joy. Flynn hoisted her up onto his back and the remaining rebels cheered another victory for the Resistance. Blaze stopped laughing long enough to notice Pikachu lying on the ground, knocked unconscious. He walked over and squeezed Pikachu’s paw until Pikachu gained 1 HP and became aware of his surroundings.

Pikachu: what…happened…?

Blaze: you went down. Never mind that, we won! Let’s get you back to the camp where we can get you healed up again.

Breela: …oh my! I just realized what a fool I’ve been! I remember sending Jigglypuff, Contrast, Medicham and Charizard away on that perilous spy mission to Mt. Pyre, and now we’re here in the Fortree area! We could have saved them time and just taken them along with us!

Rod: we all make mistakes. I wonder where Jigglypuff is now?

Breela: I hope they’re O.K. I’ll feel directly responsible for them if they’re hurt.

@#$%@#$%#$%#$%@%@##%@%@#$%

Outside the border of the Fortree area, Sylph watched as the retreating armies made their slow, unhappy trek back to Mr. Pyre. She glanced at Keshi and shook her head.

Sylph: they lost…Deoxis is not going to be pleased.

Keshi: oh well, it was just a lucky shot for those rebels. We wiped a significant number of them out, you know.

Sylph: I wonder if Byter or Spinner survived…

Sure enough, Sylph noticed an exhausted Girafarig prancing ahead of all the other troops. Clinging to his back was a small figure who Sylph knew was Spinner. He was on critical health, with hardly any life remaining.

Sylph: get ready Keshi…now is when we must complete our duties.

The Girafarig bent down in front of Sylph and allowed Spinner to get off. Spinner sat on the ground, shaking with fear and sadness. He looked up at Sylph and spoke with one of the most sorrowful voices Sylph had heard in a long time.

Spinner: Byter is dead…I let him die, I..(sob) promised him he’d live, but I couldn’t keep that promise. I don’t deserve to be his friend.

Sylph felt grateful that she didn’t need to execute Byter. She looked at the Girafarig who had been carrying Spinner and made an inquiry.

Sylph: you, what’s your name?

Girafarig: Tred.

Sylph: you may join my psychic army if you so please. You are a brave soldier, and captain material, Tred.

Tred nodded and lay panting on the ground. Now Sylph turned to the remaining armies and stared with her cold purple eyes.

Sylph: leave now.

As the armies shuffled away, Sylph turned to Spinner and stood over him. Spinner looked up at her, whimpering sadly.

Spinner: I…I’m so sad…Byter wanted me to thank you for trying to make him feel better…Sylph, you can sense emotions, you’ll understand. I don’t want to fight anymore, I wanna go home to Route 113 and just live a normal life.

Sylph: if you desert, Deoxis will have you killed.

Spinner: Deoxis is going to kill me now if I return to Mt. Pyre! For failure! Perhaps if I desert, I can have some chance of survival!

Sylph: don’t you want to avenge Byter’s death?

Spinner looked at the ground for a few seconds. When he looked up, there was anger burning in his eyes. He got to his feet and stood determinedly in front of the Gardevoir with his fists by his side.

Spinner: you know what? I do! I’m going to go back to Mr. Pyre, and I’m going to show Deoxis that I am still a use! I’m going to show him that I can fight now, and what a clever strategist I am, and that I wont give up until that…that Pikachu…is destroyed! Perhaps if he sees the new me, he’ll change his mind about killing me! It’s worth a try…

Sylph stared at Spinner. Her gaze pierced him and froze him in place. Spinner suddenly realized that Sylph had hit him with a mean look. He stared into her eyes with a look of confusion on his face.

Spinner: what are you doing, Sylph?!

Sylph: sorry Spinner…You’re never going to avenge Byter. You’re going to die. Deoxis ordered me to slay both you and Byter once this battle was over if you where still living.

Spinner began to panic. He stared into Sylph’s eyes cowered in fear.

Spinner: no! I swear I can change! I’m a fighter now, you wouldn’t kill a friend, would you?

Sylph glided forwards a pace. Her eyes glowed with psychic energy and Spinner felt a force grab hold of his limbs and stretch him out so his stomach was exposed. Sylph pushed him slowly back until his back came up against a tree and secured him to the trunk with psionic chains.

Sylph: I hate to do this to you, Spinner, but duty calls.

Spinner began to cry. He tried to strain against the spell, but his arms and legs wouldn’t budge.

Spinner: DON’T DO THIS TO ME SYLPH! I THOUGHT WE WHERE ALLIES? I’VE JUST BEEN FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE, RUNNING, SWEATING, KILLING…AND I EMERGE FROM BATTLE ONLY TO FIND THAT I’M CONDEMNED TO DEATH??
WHY MUST I DIE!?

Sylph: …because you’re a Spinda. You’re a weakling and you lack the killer instinct Deoxis expects from us.

Spinner couldn’t believe that Sylph was talking to him like this. He shook his head in pain as the psychic field around him began to close.

Spinner: I TOLD YOU, I’VE CHANGED!!

Sylph: it’s too late now, Deoxis has ordered you dead, and dead you will be.

But Spinner wasn’t going to go down without a fight.

Spinner: if Deoxis wants me dead simply because I’m a Spinda, then why did he allow me to join in the first place!? WHY? I’LL TELL YOU WHY…BECAUSE I COULD BUILD STUFF! DEOXIS USED ME!! IT’S NOT FAIR! I’M A LIVING…breathing Pokemon…I’m not just a…tool for him to throw away!

Sylph tried to keep hostile. The sight of her friend and ally in distress made her feel sick, yet she hid her emotions from him and raised her hand.

Sylph: you are not fit to lick Deoxis feet. He has power over all our lives and if he wants you dead, then it would be foolish for me to disobey.

Spinner hung his head and relinquished his struggle for life. He glanced one more time at Sylph and sobbed what where to be his final words.

Spinner: please make it quick…

Sylph closed her eyes now. She wanted to console Spinner, and tell him that he was the most amazing Pokemon she’d ever known and that she didn’t want him to die.
But still she kept her cold, expressionless stare fixed on her prey.
Keshi watched as Sylph raised her hand and held it just centimeters away from Spinner’s face. He looked away as the hum of PSI began to fill the air…

Sylph’s eyes where glowing with psychic power now. She had total control over Spinner’s body now…she could finish him with two manipulations of her psychic attack…yet for some reason, she stalled.
After waiting for the crackling to start, Keshi turned and opened one eye. Sylph had lowered her hand and now seemed to be crying. Keshi had never seen his mighty mistress cry. The tears at the corner of her eye dried up almost instantly, but Keshi had still seen them.
Spinner looked up and Sylph cut his bonds, causing his limp body to fall to the ground. He closed his eyes and lay sobbing in the grass.

Spinner: stop…playing with me…(choke)

Sylph raised her arm again, waited for ten seconds and then lowered it again. When she spoke, it was in a soft, straining voice.

Sylph: I can’t do this…

Spinner: w-what?

Sylph: I can’t do this! I cannot bring my self to kill you, Spinner! I cannot murder my own friends! GO! Deoxis can’t sense me here. If I tell him you’re dead, he’ll probably believe me. RUN AWAY, NOW! Before I change my mind, JUST RUN!!

Spinner: you’re sparing me! Oh Sylph! I…you…disobeyed Deoxis to save my life! Thank you Sylph! … you only have to destroy my Ruler Of The Night tag and Deoxis will think I’m dead.

Sylph: yes! Yes, that’s it! Deoxis keeps a tab of us with those psi tags…if I destroy it, it will look like I’ve destroyed you! But the tag is in the flesh of your ear… how do we get it out?

Spinner grabbed his left ear and pulled it as hard as he could. He screamed in pain as his ear tore in half and tears flooded to his eyes. Throwing the severed ear in front of Sylph, Spinner curled into a ball and bit his thumb to try and block our the searing pain in the side of his head.

Sylph: Spinner…

Spinner: DON’t…ah! Don’t worry about me!! I-j-just destroy it! I can…I can still hear properly!! AaAaah!! It’s all WorTh it, Silph!

Sylph nodded and thought the ear to deep into the earth and made it one with the rocks. The chip was turned to stone in an instant.
Sylph kneeled down next to the shaking bundle of fur to whom it had belonged and drooped her arms around him, emitting calming vibes to soothe his pain and sadness.

Sylph: you go and live your life, Spinner. I’ll never forget you as long as I live and even after. I’ll avenge Byter for you.

Spinner sobbed gratefully in Sylph’s arms. He was alive, and all thanks to the will of the most understanding Pokemon he’d ever know.
Keshi looked on and swore never to reveal Sylph’s secret to Deoxis. His mistress was not only powerful, but kind and merciful as well.
And what more could a toady want from his leader?

The sun was beginning to set, and the calls of bird Pokemon echoed through the trees. Back at Mt. Pyre, Deoxis smiled with cruel delight as the signal of Spinner’s dark chip was erased from his mind altogether.
So what if he had just one Ruler Of The Night under his command now? Sylph had just proven that she was too blindly loyal to let him down.

Deoxis: so there is only one Ruler Of The Night left…hahaha…dear, modest Sylph has just proven that she is too loyal to let me down. Even when I order her to destroy her friends. So what if I no longer have five armies to defend me, I’ve already got what I want from those four fools.
And after Sylph has done my last bidding, then I’ll have her killed as well…and then all the puzzle pieces will be in place…

-------------------============================---
A serious update, but never fear, the next one will be crazy funny, I promise.
Join us again in the next update of SSBM: A.O.S

 

[Creature_85]

That was such an amazing update. I can't wait for the next update.

 

[MewtwoMaster2002]

Wow this is a great update. Deoxys is TOO evil. Now he's my most favorite villain EVER.

 

[NESSBOUNDER]

uh...DeoxYs? Is that how you spell it? Not Deoxis but Deoxys?

(realizes he's made a humongous spelling boo-boo.)

Ehehehehe...anyone reading this, please realize that from now on, I will be spelling the name correcly.

(runs away to spank own butt with an angry smiley on a broom handle.)

)BAM!
) -----O---

 

[Iamdead7]

i still love this fic

btw whats a deoxys?

 

[MewtwoMaster2002]

This is what Deoxys is supposed to be really like:

In this fic he has the devils machine as an eye. It's a dark orb thing that can change sizes and uses Ness' powers when it has his reflection or in this fics case, has Mew's power after having Mew's reflection.

 

[ZeekeXIV]

NESSBOUNDER!!!

...

This fic just keeps getting better! I'm finally up to Chapter 4, Part 7 I think. My favorite part so far was the first time everyone dealt with the Devil's Machine in Pokeworld. Ash was such a DOOFUS.

Me liking this part doesn't mean I'm a pokefan though. I haven't seen a Pokemon episode since I was 16 (3 years ago). They started adding to many of them... Maybe I'm still a pokefan at eart...

The only thing I don't really like about the fic the scrpit format. Mainly because anyone can write a script format story. But I think the scrpit format works really well with this fic. I don't think any other format woulda worked as well.

You have a LOT of loyal fans. That must feel so grand. I could only wish I had that many people reading my fic. The only loyal fan I seem to have is MEWTWOMASTER. Well, one fan is better than none at all! Maybe the T-rating is intimadating...

Keep it up man! I'll eventually catch up with everyone else one of these days. Also, is the end of this story anywhere in sight?

 

[PsiFlameMaster]

im back after a long time, and i must say that the last pokemon battle between the wars was great, what with the bad stuff happening to the bad guys but you still feel sorry for them type thing. i wonder what happened to the 'puff and co. i feel sorry for Spinner what with losing Byter and an ear and all. but back with Ness and co., i wonder what new and (hopefully) wierdly funny challenges they will face. anyway, I guess i'll cya later.
