> Homesickness: Another Story > by arandomboi12 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Royalty Bows To Ness... WHAT. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Ness you sure do love your steak” a woman said to a boy in a baseball cap and striped shirt while he nodded up and down. He gulped down his steak and smiled. Now this boy’s name was Ness. He is, to say the least: Special. He is one of the predicted children that are called in a now erased future the chosen four that defeated Giygas. Word spread like wildfire in dimensions and universes. He wouldn't brag about how he saved the world. No he did not. Instead he knew that without his friends, family, or his mother that he wouldn't had stayed alive for too long. He is now finished with his meal and looks at his mother, hoping she had more steak. “Sorry Ness, all gone.” she said showing him three plates that big steaks once stood. “Dang it!” he said while slamming his fist on the table. His mother shot him a look while his sister Tracy giggled madly. “Well Ness, since its a school night, i think you should be going to bed right now.” his mother said to him. He let out a loud groan. “Buuut why?!?” his mother turned to him with a smirk. “None of the sass.” She said to Ness. He stomped off but then he turned around. “Night mom.” He said calmly to only be greeted by a kiss on the forehead, He smiled and went to his room to get ready for bed. When he got ready for bed he got an off feeling. Like something is going to happen. He didn't know if it was good or bad, he just knew something was gonna happen. So he went to sleep only to be woken up by a ‘Ooo’ noise. He then rose up from his bed to only see that it was coming from under his bed in his room. “The heck is that?” he looked at what was most likely a portal so in case, he put on his shoes, striped shirt, baseball cap, shorts, an endless abyss of a backpack, and his baseball bat and yo-yo. He then flipped his bed over with ease. “Alright, what is-AUGH!” he was cut off by an invisible force pulling him towards the portal. “Ugh… my head.” Ness said as he woke up in a hallway of some sort. Now it wasn’t no plain hallway he ended up in, nope! It was made out of crystal. Ness being a curious soul, touches the surface. It is without a doubt, crystal. He was shocked. He pinched himself to wake himself up from sleep. But all he felt was pain. Now he knew this entire scenario was real. He got himself up and walked around, exploring everywhere and wondering where the heck he was. He wasn't in Threed, Twoson, heck not even Dalaam! This was something real new to him. Very new to him indeed. Suddenly he heard a little ‘Pop’ sound behind him he turns around to see woman. She probably had black or deep deep blue fur with a mane with what look like stars embedded in the mane itself. She had on a robe and a set of wings and a horn. It was Luna. And she was giving Ness a death stare. Ness just looked at her with confusion. "Human! what is your cause of being here?!" Ness just shrugged. “Look lady, i don't even know where I am.” Ness said with a shrug. Little to say, she was mad, while Ness was looking around. “Is this whole building made out of-” He was cut off by magic being shot into his chest. He then made contact with the wall, she smirked. What happened next shocked her. “Yike lady calm the heck down. Jeez…” She saw him get off the ground with minimal damage other than a bruise on his back that wasn't visible due to his shirt. He got up, stretched and yawned, then closed his eyes. “PK Shield β!” Suddenly, Ness’ body was protected by a bright light! Luna was surprised, she did not know humans could use magic! She quickly charged up another attack. “It's your lucky day lady, you’ll be facing one of the chosen four!” He said. She then stopped and looked at Ness with a mix of confusion and disbelief. She then laughed out loud. “Your are not one of the chosen four! Your too young!” She laughs even more only for Ness to become irritated. “Call it lies or not, i am one of the chosen four. I’m telling the truth here!” He said while she had a smirk of confidence on her face. “Well how about we check that head of your’s to see if you are lying!” she said as her horn lit up. Ness just counted seconds that passed by. (Cue You've Come Far, Ness.) Her facial expression changed from confident to ‘What?!?’ in a matter of seconds. She could not believe this. As she looked upon more memories and saw that Ness had reached four corners of his homeworld in a span of a month. She saw him save Paula from the Happy Happy Cultist, fight the undead with a baseball bat and yo-yo, go back to the past with a robotic body, and finally The cave of the past. They were unable to go back as they pressed on. They battled machine after machine. And finally Giygas. She now learned Giygas's power became too great for even his own mind to handle, Giygas now exists as a nearly omnipotent entity without thought or reason; an "all-mighty idiot." After dealing with Pokey, they attempt to battle Giygas, but their attacks don't seem to be effective. As Giygas attacks them in ways they cannot comprehend, Paula prays with all her heart that someone lends them strength. As she does so, their acquaintances and friends from their journey return with prayers of their own and successfully help to vanquish Giygas. With one more useless insult, Pokey retreats to another time period. With the war against Giygas over… her horn stopped glowing she walks up to Ness “I am very sorry for my actions umm…” “Ness. My name is Ness…” he put out his hand to help her get up. > Not a dream... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “By the way, what is your name?” He asked Luna while helping her get up. “Luna…” She replied while Ness helped her up from the ground just to hear approaching hoofsteps. He then got in front of Luna and into a battle stance. He then saw another being almost the same from Luna. Only that she had white fur, blue pinkish and yellowish mane that seemed to be the same with the stars embedded in her hair. She had a set of wings and a horn just like Luna and had on a robe also. Ness sensed both strong magical energy from both of them. Even though not compared to his, they were nonetheless very powerful. She gazed upon Ness and gave him a patient calm smile. Ness lowered his guard for a little bit. “I am not here to hurt you… Ness was it? Thats a nice name.” she said calmly as Luna got up and tapped Ness’ shoulder. “This is my sister Ness. She does not mean harm.” she said as he lowered his guard and looked up at her. Now he knew they weren't human. But they had fingers and legs just like humans. But instead of feet, they had hooves. He then looked up at her crown on her head. Immediately, he looked at Luna. She had a crown too. He then bowed and looked up at the both of them. “I am so sorry about the mishap ladies! Just don't lock me up in a dark cellar. I don't know where i am honest!” he begged them. Luna looked confused and Celestia patted his head. He then looked up to see her smiled at him. “Now why would i do that to one of the chosen four?” he was shocked. How did she know about the chosen four? Come to think of it, how did any of them know about that legend? Unless… the word of Giygas being defeated spread like wildfire throughout universes and dimensions. That must be it! But then he started to feel his eyelids getting heavy. He didn't have any sleep. So he started to get drowsy. “I-i am g-going to…” and just like that, Ness fell asleep. Ness was then woke up by a tap on the shoulder he shudders at whoever touched him. It was like a mother’s soft touch. Gentle, caring, and now very strong… no… he was being shaken to death. He squirmed around in the softest thing he had ever laid upon. “Knock it off… its not a laser pointer… it's a gazebo…” he said while he was again, violently shaken to the point of half consciousness. “AHHH! MOM I HAD A TERRIBLE NIGHTMARE! I WAS TELEPORTED TO A DIMENSION WITH TALKING PONI- oh it's real…” Ness said as he then turned his head to the mare that woke him up. It was Luna. And she was on the verge of laughter. Ness looked annoyed and tried to get up only for his legs to not respond. They were asleep. He then let out a struggled sigh and closed his eyes. Curious, Luna decided to touch Ness only to be startled by him floating in mid air. He then lowered himself to the ground but his feet don't touch the ground. “H-how in Equis did you do that? You don't have a horn to produce magic!” she said while Ness just looked at her with a confused stare. “I don't use magic silly! I use Psionics! Or Psychokinesis, whatever you want to call it! Not a lot of humans have this ability as for my info goes, humans, animals, aliens, and even inanimate objects—are able to use PSI, potentially as a result of Giygas's influence. Also, the Dalaamese seem to have discovered the ability to tap into PSI on their own." he explained to her and then felt life come back to his legs. His feet now touched the ground. He then looked at Luna. “Ma’am, why did you wake me up by the way?” he asked while rubbing his eyes. Luna looked at the boy. He was a human, but he looked very adorable. Even though he is one of the chosen four, she couldn't help but hug him tightly and pinch his cheek. Resulting in Ness beginning to blush. “L-lady! What was that f-for? You still haven't answered my question yet!” Ness said. She snapped out of it and let go of Ness. “Ahem. Me, my sister, and niece were about to have breakfast and were wondering if you would like to join us.” she said. Ness then patted his stomach. He hadn't eaten anything before he got there. So he was pretty much famished. He then gave her the biggest smile he could muster. “Sure what's the harm of it? Unless you poisoned it.” he said giving her a stare. But then he just chuckled while scratching the back of his head. Just then, he felt no weight on his shoulders. He looks just to see his bookbag gone. “Miss, where is my bookbag?” he asked Luna as she points to one of the nightstands just to see his bookbag in all of its brown glory. He puts it on his back and smiles at her again. “Alright lead the way!” he said while Luna smiled at him. > A Hero's Story... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- On their way, Ness told Luna the names of the Chosen Four. She was intrigued by how he reached four corners of his world and asked if he still had contact with them. He told her how Poo was a prince and his homeland didn’t really have technology “So Ness… does thou miss home? Or friends?” Ness looked down and smiled. He really did miss them all. Indeed when he got here, he had no way of getting home. He then pulled out a picture of his friends in which Luna saw that this picture was very precious to him. “Although, my friends father is a supergenius. So when they find out I’m here, they could work something out.” He nods and continued to look forward until he suddenly bumped into someone. He then fell on his behind as he looked forward to see none other than the snobbish prince himself, Blueblood and Princess Cadence. “Watch where you're going ape!” Blueblood yelled as Ness brushed himself off. He then frowned. “Buddy, I didn’t see you there. Also, this ‘ape’ has a name. The name’s Ness.” He then turned his attention to Cadence. He then tips his hat in a polite manner. “Hello! It's nice to meet you… Umm…” Ness scratches the back of his head. “Candace. It's so nice to meet you Ness.” She shakes his hand as Blueblood then scowls. “UGH! What are you?” Just then, Luna stepped up to Blueblood. “He’s screwed, isn't he?” Ness whispered to Cadence as she giggled. Oh how Ness was right. “HOW DARE YOU CALL ONE OF THE CHOSEN FOUR AN APE!” Blueblood and Cadence. “Y-you are?” Cadence asked as he nodded and then smiled. “I was told of a prophecy surrounding my future; that me, along with the help of two other boys and one girl, will stand against Giygas and save the universe from total annihilation.” “Who is Giygas by the way Ness? When I checked your memories, he was just a red blur.” Oh boy. Luna had mentioned Giygas in front of Ness.
