Chereads / The Smash Kids / Chapter 3 - Chapter 2

Chapter 3 - Chapter 2

One fateful morning

Ness: Uhhhhhhh....Oh geez....

Lucas: Why are you sulking instead of working?

Ness: Link?

Toon Link: Yes?

Ness: I need you're assistance. It's very important and it concerns our leisure time.

Toon Link: Yeah, what is it?

Ness: Uh....Do you think....that we should....you know....take a 30 minute break?

Toon Link: NO!

Ness: NO!? Why!?

Toon Link: Ness, do you realize the punishment that Tom Nook gave us yesterday? Uh-uh. The reason why we can't play outside today is because you're the one who started the fight and destroyed half of the store. We'll just have to put up with it and just move on with our lives. That is okay with you, right?

Ness: Alright, I get it already.

Ness: Come on, Come on, Come on, Come on, Come on. DARN IT ALL!!!!!

Sammy: Aren't you being a little too hard on Ness, Link?

Toon Link: No, I'm not. If he actually felt like taking responsibility for his actions, we would've cleaned this store in a jiffy. Ness is just lazy and he's always slacking off.

Sammy: Pfft. Look at him go. I think you've really hit a nerve on him this time.

Toon Link: It's about time.

Ness: HUH?! What's this? Link, come here for a second.

Toon Link: What is it, Ness?

Ness: Look at what I've found on the floor while I was mopping.

Toon Link: Hmm. Splatoon Nintendo Switch Bundle Edition. 40% of discount.

Ness: This is the answer to my boredom. I'm so going to get this.

Toon Link: I'm not so sure, Ness.

Ness: What makes you say that?

Toon Link: Look at the paper real closely.

Ness: WHAT?! $399.99?! FOR A NINTENDO SWITCH?!

Toon Link: I hate to get your hopes down, buddy.

Ness: I don't.....have enough money. My little world has come to an end.

Lucas: Wait, Ness. Didn't you say you're a PK Fighter?

Ness: Yeah, duh. What are you on about?

Lucas: Well, can't you just use your PSI powers to teleport us to the Splatoon world?

Toon Link: Wait, what do you mean us? I thought it's just him.

Ness: But, I hate being lonely.

Sammy: Come on, guys. Let's just go with the flow.

Toon Link: Oh, brother. Okay, we'll go. But if we die, I'll sue you.

Ness: Okay, drama queen. Let's go guys.

The gang: Right!

Ness: PSI Telepathy, Ignite!

The gang: Woah!!

(WARP!)

Lucas: Where are we? 

Ness: We're in the Splatoon universe, guys! Look how vibrant it is.

Lucas: It's also bright. Look, it even has a hip-hop style background.

Sammy: Yeah, you're right.

A male blue Splatoon runs by shooting ink from its ink gun.

Ness: LOOK OUT!

Toon Link: AHH!! 

Lucas: What the-

Sammy: Ugh! Ewww!! That's just plain uncool.

Ness: Coolio!

The gang: What?!

Ness: I want to try it! Come on, guys. Let's get inked. YAHOOO!!!

Toon Link: Wow, he's excited.

Lucas: I'm starting to have second thoughts about coming to this bizzaro universe.

Sammy: Let's just go with the flow, guys. Ness is our best friend, so we should at least pretend we're having fun, okay?

The gang: You have a point there.

While the gang were catching up to Ness, Ness, filled with excitement, spots a nearby store near the town called Inkopolis.

Ness: Woah! They also have a store here?! Far out!

Ness: Wow, This looks cool. I'll take that back, my little world isn't coming to an end. This is perfect.

Inkling: May I help you, sir?

Ness: Huh?!

Inkling: (giggling)

Ness: Who are you?

Inkling: I'm a girl Inkling. Welcome to Inkopolis.

Ness: Inkling? May I adopt a name for you?

Inkling: Of course, what do you want to name me?

Ness: Hmmm... Oh, I get it. How about Paula?

Paula: Paula? 

Ness: Yeah. One of my best friends from my home is named Paula. So, I thought I would name you after my friend from Onett.

Paula: (laughing) Thank you.

Toon Link: NESS?!

Ness: Toon Link, where the heck have you guys been?

Toon Link: You ran, duh! What do you think?

Lucas: Hey, Ness. Who's this?

Ness: Oh, guys. This is Paula. 

Paula: Nice to meet you, guys.

The gang: Nice to meet you, too.

Lucas: Ness, can we talk a little bit?

Ness: Sure. What do you want to talk about?

Lucas: You named her Paula?!

Ness: Yeah. I named her after one of our friends from Onett. Do you think that's bad?

Lucas: Not really. Well, forget what I sa-

Person screaming: AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Lucas: What's that?

Paula: Trouble. Follow me!

The gang: Okay!

As Ness and his friends run back to the city, they spot a huge ink monster thrashing the city.

Ness: Paula, what is that?!

Paula: An ink monster. Inkzilla.

Ness and the gang: Inkzilla?

Ness: Inkzilla?

Toon Link: Wait a minute, who's Inkzilla?

Paula: An entity that feeds on the innocence with its black ink. Any citizen that gets infected by the black ink will turn into ravaging demonic-like ink monsters that destroys the city by spitting out its ink.

Lucas: Oh my goodness, what if your world ends because of the black goo?

Paula: Don't worry. I got this.

Other Splatoons: Don't you mean we got this?

Paula: Huh? Sasha, Katie, Lindsay, Franklin, & Kaki?

The gang: How's it hanging?

Ness: Wait, you know those people?

Paula: Of course, they're my best friends from Inkopolis Elementary School.

Paula: Guys, meet my friends: Ness, Lucas, Sammy, & Link.

Ness and the gang: Hey, guys!

Kaki: So, what's with the squirts? You're babysitting them or something?

Ness: Babysitting?! Look, you little termite, if you're calling me a bab-

Lucas: Ness! No violence!

Lucas: Look, we came into this world because a certain somebody want it to go. And were here to stop the ink monster from terrorizing this town.

Sammy: Yeah. It's sums up why we're here.

Kaki: Oh, ok.

Sasha: Why in the world would you say that, you idiot?

Kaki: Ow! Hitting me is a federal offense!

Sasha: I can hit you as many times if you provoke me.

Katie: Guys, stop it.

Lucas: Thank you, Katie.

Paula: Guys, look the monster is coming this way!

The gang: (gasps)

Inkzilla: (roars)

Inkzilla is stomping its way to the center of the city.

Lucas: Oh man, we're in for it now!

Ness: Maybe not.

Lucas: Huh?!

Ness: Maybe I can stop it.

Ness: PK Flash!

The monster is unaffected by Ness' powers.

Ness: Did it work? What?! I didn't work?!

Lucas: Let me try. PK Fire!!

The monster is unaffected by Lucas' powers as well.

Toon Link & Sammy: Let us try!

Toon Link: Triforce of Courage!!

Sammy: Beehive Mayhem!!!

The monster is unaffected by both Link & Sammy's powers. Nothing will stop this monster.

Ness: Man, nothing will ever stop this beast.

Lucas: We'll never get through this. Dang.

The Inklings: Don't worry, guys. We'll defeat this demon.

Paula: Yeah. But, wait? Here, grab these ink tanks.

Ness and the gang: Thank you.

Ness: Now, let's do this!

The whole gang: YEAH!!!

The whole gang grabs their ink tank and skyrocket up in the air to attack the monster. The gang uses their ink tanks to shoot strong acid ink at the monster to create holes inside the monster body and sides. And with that, Ness & Lucas uses their final powers to blast the monster to oblivion.

Ness & Lucas: PK STARSTORM!!!!!

The monster explodes.

Ness: We did it!!

Lucas: Thank the heavens.

Paula: Thank you so much, guys. I really appreciate it.

The gang: You're welcome.

Ness: Wait, do you want to come with us and stay in Smashville?

Paula: No, thanks. But I'm happy here.

Ness: Ok. Well, we'll see you next time.

Paula: OK, TAKE CARE!!!

Ness: SEE YOU!! I'LL MARRY YOU IN THE FUTURE!!

The gang: Ness?

Paula: Hahahahahahahaha.

As the gang wave Paula goodbye, Toon Link uses the Triforce to go back to their homeworld and enter Tom Nook's shop to eat some pasta.
