Difference between revisions of "Ness"

With this knowledge, Ness accompanies Porky and Picky back to their home but is confronted by a Starman Jr, who was sent by Giygas to kill Buzz-Buzz. The Starman Jr. confirms the prophecy before attacking the group. However, it is defeated through Buzz-Buzz's massive PSI powers and Ness's physical attacks. Upon arriving at Porky's house, Buzz-buzz is unceremoniously killed who was mistaken for a dung beetle by Lardna Minch. As he is dying, Buzz-Buzz explains to Ness that he must reach the eight [[Your Sanctuary]] locations and passes on the [[Sound Stone]], a special stone that records the special [[Eight Melodies|melodies]] from each Sanctuary, to Ness and starts him on his quest to save the world.

In Twoson, it is revealed that Ness was telepathically contacted by [[Paula]], another member of his party, who this time asks him to come and rescue her. In [[Burglin Park]] Ness encounters friendly gangster named [[Everdred]] the leader of Burglin Park. When defeated, he tells Ness about that Paula was kidnapped and was considered being used as a sacrifice. Ness then meets an inventor named [[Apple Kid]], who after Ness invests in him, tells Ness that he will give him an invention after it is finished. Ness then enters [[Peaceful Rest Valley]], however he is unable to progress as the bridge is broken and the detour is blocked by an iron pencil-shaped statue. Upon returning to Twoson, Ness receives a call from Apple Kid saying his invention is finished, and Ness receives the [[Pencil Eraser]] from him. Ness removes the pencil statue with the machine and finds his way through Peaceful Rest Valley to [[Happy Happy Village]], which is under the influence of the [[Happy Happyism|Happy Happyist]] Cult. He finds Paula locked in a cell in a hidden house. She gives Ness the [[Franklin Badge]] so that he can withstand the lightning attacks of [[Mr. Carpainter]], the Happy Happyist leader. As Ness leaves the house, he is ambushed by Porky who reveals he is the high priest behind Happy Happyism and attacks Ness with [[Spiteful Crow]]s. After defeating them, Ness confronts Carpainter and defeats him, thereby breaking the influence of Happy Happyism over the valley. He explains that a certain statue has caused him to do strange things, and Carpainter thanks Ness for freeing him and gives him the key to Paula's cell. Ness encounters Porky outside who says he has also been freed and then apologizes, but then reveals he was lying and escapes. Ness frees Paula and enters a nearby cave where they encounter the [[Mondo Mole]], who is guarding the second sanctuary location, [[Lilliput Steps]]. They defeat it and Ness gains the power of Lilliput Steps. 

They return to Twoson and meet a famous jazz band named the [[Runaway Five]] who explains they were under a debt at the [[Chaos Theater]]. After watching a performance, they find Everdred who gives them a "wad of bills". They use it to pay off the Runaway Fave's dept who as thanks take them in their van and give them a ride to [[Threed]]. After being dropped off, Ness and Paula quickly discover the town is under an awful curse and zombies run rampant. They follow a suspicious woman into the hotel but are ambushed by zombies and locked in an underground cell. Paula then contacts a friend they never met before named Jeff telepathically, who resides in [[Winters]], [[Foggyland]]. He arrives in the [[Sky Runner]] and unlocks the cell door with a special invention called the [[List_of_key_items_in_EarthBound#Bad_key_machine|Bad key machine]]. Upon leaving they find a suspicious tent called the [[Boogey Tent]] who attacks them, and upon defeating it, receive a "jar of fly honey". Ness then receives a call from Apple Kid that he invented a solution to the town's zombie infestation called "Zombie Paper". The three of them conspire with the townsfolk to trap the zombies in the circus tent with zombie paper. They then find a secret exit in the back of the graveyard and venture forth to find the source of the zombie scourge. 

Following the cave and progressing through a small valley, they come upon Saturn Valley, a town inhabited by strange but friendly beings called [[Mr. Saturn]]. The town is under the threat of [[Master Belch]], who not only was responsible for the zombie infestation in Threed, but has kidnapped many innocent residents of the valley. They infiltrate a secret base behind [[Grapefruit Falls]] near the valley and encounter Master Belch who is a major henchmen of Giygas. The three take advantage of his obsession with fly honey and easily defeat him and free the Saturn Valley inhabitants, and in the process learn their next destination is the city of [[Fourside]]. They then travel through a cave and find the [[Trillionage Sprout]], guardian of the [[Milky Well]], the third sanctuary. They defeat it and Ness gains the power of the Milky well.

Afterward, they return to Threed and find that the town has been rescued The three attempt to take the bus to Fourside, however, they run into a traffic jam in [[Dusty Dunes Desert]] and are forced to abandon the bus and continue the journey on foot. They arrive in Fourside, where they find that suspicious activity has been occurring with the mayor [[Geldegarde Monotoli]]. They find the Runaway Five has fallen into debt with the city theater yet again. Ness and the gang return to the desert and find a new dig site in which the miner is unable to continue in finding treasure because the cave is filled with five giant moles called the [[Guardian Digger]]s. Upon clearing the mine of the Guardian Diggers, the miner repays Ness and his friends with a diamond, and they use it to repay the theater proprietor on behalf of the band.

Later on, while shopping in the Fourside Department Store, there is a sudden power failure and Paula is snatched away in the dark. Hearing a call on the intercom, Ness and Jeff go to an office on the top floor where they encounter the [[Department Store Spook]], an alien henchman of Giygas. They fight and defeat the Department Store Spook and continue looking for clues to Paula's disappearance. They then enter Jackie's Cafe where they hear a strange noise outside, and after leaving, find Everdred lying injured on the ground. He explains that he stole the [[Mani-Mani Statue]] from the Carpainter and Monotoli stole it from him as well. He says Monotoli gets his evil power from the Mani Mani statue and tells Ness and Jeff to check behind the cafe counter. Upon checking? Ness and Jeff unexpectedly stumble upon a bizarre alternate dimension called Moonside. Navigating the oppositely-oriented domain, they find Monotoli looking at the statue, and upon talking to him he denies he is Monotoli and disappears.  They fight and destroy the Mani Mani statue, and find that it was a device that created illusions. They realize Moonside was an illusion the whole time, and that they have been in the storeroom to Jackie's Cafe all along.

Immediately, Ness receives a call from Apple Kid about a "Gourmet Yogurt Machine" that can only make "Trout flavored yogurt" and sends it via [[Escargo Express]]'s "neglected class", however, the inexperienced delivery person dropped it in the desert, forcing Ness to return once more. Upon leaving the cafe, they meet Porky's maid [[Electra]], who is desperate for trout flavored yogurt to give to her master, and following this a monkey with the power of Teleportation who takes him to a cave filled with monkeys in the desert. After trekking through the cave, they visit a mysterious man who lives among monkeys in the desert named Talah Rama. He gives them a vital trout yogurt machine. Ness and Jeff use the yogurt dispenser to bribe Electra to let them into the Monotoli Building in Fourside, where Paula is apparently being held. After dealing with the security robots, with some unexpected help from the Runaway Five, Ness and Jeff make it to Mayor Monotoli's room where they rescue Paula. Monotoli apologizes to them for kidnapping Paula and explains that he fell under the influence of the Mani Mani statue, and how it creates illusions to draw out the evil within people's hearts, causing them to do Giygas's will. He mentions that in the trance a voice spoke to him telling him to stop Ness from entering [[Summers]], and from seeing a certain pyramid, and saying Ness ''must'' go to Summers because Giygas was trying to stop him from going. He offers them use of his helicopter to travel to Summers. However, Porky, who has been working as a consultant for Monotoli and orchestrated Paula's kidnapping, steals the helicopter and flies away, while taunting Ness.

Afterwards, Paula receives a telepathic message saying they need to return to Threed. The Runaway Five take them back to Threed where they repair the Sky Runner and fly to Winters. While Dr. Andonuts remodels the Sky Runner, they find their way to the [[Rainy Circle]] guarded by [[Shrooom!]]. They defeat it and Ness receives the Rainy Circle's power.

They then return to the lab and find the Sky Runner's remodel has been completed, and fly off to Summers. While in Summers, they visit [[Stoic Club]] and Ness chats where a woman offers him and his friends some magic cake. After they take a bite, they falls into a slumber and see a vision of a foreigner from [[Dalaam]] in the [[Chommo]] region named Prince [[Poo]], the fourth and final member of his party. After passing the final test in his training, Ness regains consciousness and Poo teleports to the group.

Poo suggests they visit the Summers Cultural Museum, where they find a hidden exhibit that gives an odd clue about the Sphinx in [[Scaraba]]. As they are leaving they get a call from [[Mr. Spoon]] at the Fourside Dinosaur Museum meant for the museum proprietor. At the Dinosaur Museum, Mr. Spoon says he noticed an odd activity in the sewers, and will let them in if he brings an autograph by the famous singer [[Venus]]. After watching a performance, Ness receives Venus's autograph on a banana peel, bringing it to Mr. Spoon, who lets them enter a pothole in the back leading through the sewers of Fourside, where they defeat the [[Plague Rat of Doom]], and Ness gains the power of [[Magnet Hill]], in the middle of the city. Here Ness picks up a Carrot Key, which he uses to open the entrance to a cave leading to the [[Pink Cloud]] in Dalaam, guarded by [[Thunder and Storm]]. The four defeat it and Ness unlocks the Pink Cloud's power.

Now as robots, the four of them travel back in time to the Cave of the Past, where the travel through the cave finding Giygas's Lair with Porky at his side. They learn that Giygas's power became too great for even his own mind to handle, literally becoming the "Embodiment of Evil" itself. Giygas now exists as a nearly omnipotent entity without thought or reason; an "all-mighty idiot." After dealing with Porky, he turns off the [[Giygas#Devil's Machine|Devil's Machine]] unleashing Giygas, who attacks the heroes with incomprehensible attacks. They attempt to battle Giygas, but their attacks are ineffective. As Porky insults them and Giygas continues attacking 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, Porky retreats to another time period and Giygas vanishes for eternity. With the war against Giygas over, Ness' spirit, along with the others, leave their battered robot bodies and return to the present. Poo returns home, Jeff joins his father. Ness receives a letter from his mother, who tells him how she heard he defeated Giygas, and about the family not eating as much of his favorite food anymore. Ness then escorts Paula back to Twoson, and returns back home. He receives a call from his [[Ness's family#Dad|father]] saying he will be home to celebrate his upcoming birthday, while Ness, Tracy, and their mother look at the photos of Ness's journey.
