Chapter 1: Pollyanna

Three years later…

A cool mountain breeze wafted through the sleepy village of Onett as the sun peaked over the horizon. It was still dark as two figures approached a large building on the southern end of town.

A man wearing a finned helmet leaned against the wall near the entrance; he looked from side to side, but mostly was dozing in the early morning hours. Dozing enough that he failed to notice the two shadows slip along the side of the building.

A window slid open as the two figures climbed inside, “You were right, they did get restocked!”

“See? They’re telling everyone in town there’s no food when they’re sitting on tonnes of it!” The two trespassers made their way up the rows of produce and started filling bags they brought with them.

“We gotta hurry,” one said as he stuffed as much as he could into his sack, “You never know when Frank is gonna…” the sound of an opening door hushed the statement as the two quickly found hiding spots.

“...that it’s part of the plan, but how are we going to explain all this food?” The boys peaked from between crates at two men who had entered the room, one muscular, the other fat with a moustache.

The mustached man looked around the room and shrugged, “We’ll save enough for ourselves and our men, the rest can be burned, no one needs to know this food was ever here.”

“But Mr. Minch…” The thinner man lost his words as the large man stared him down.

“Don’t be a fool, if the people believe that Eagleland has sent the supplies they promised then they will continue to support a failing nation. Destroying these rations is the most effective way of convincing the people they are in need of a newer stronger government.”

One of the boys couldn’t help but almost growl after hearing such a remark. He quickly covered his mouth with his hand but the two men looked in their direction, “Did you hear something?”

“Maybe, the wind can make strange noises in here though,” Frank looked over the tables but didn’t see anything.

Wanting to be sure nothing was amiss, Mr. Minch walked across the storeroom looking down several dim aisles. The two boys huddled close behind a crate as they waited for the man to walk by. The footsteps stopped just beside them as Mr. Minch looked around the room.

“I don’t see anything Mr. Minch,” Frank called from another aisle.

Mr. Minch grunted, “Obviously not,” the man walked away leaving the two boys to let out quiet sighs of relief.

“How do you want us to do this sir?” Frank asked once he was at Mr. Minch’s side again.

“Oh…” Mr Minch looked around at the large room, “By the end of the week, get whatever remains onto wagons and dump it on the other side of Mt. Itoi. Burn it in the night and no one will be the wiser.”

“Yes sir,” Frank and Mr. Minch finally left the room.

The two boys looked at each other, “Holy shit Ness! We’ve gotta tell someone!”

The violet eyed boy nodded, “Yeah, but we gotta be careful too…”

“Well come on, let’s get outta here!” The other boy got up and started running through the storeroom.

“Ninten! Don’t make so much noise!” Ness scolded as he chased after him.

Ninten opened a window and started climbing out, “It’s okay, Mr. Minch and Frank went out the other side.”

Ness climbed down after Ninten, “Yeah but that doesn’t mean there aren’t other guards… around…” Ness stepped foot on the ground and noticed he and Ninten were surrounded by about eight of the Shark Guards.

Ninten chuckled to himself, “So guys… you see… the thing is…” The guards stepped closer as Ninten looked at Ness, “Power up?”

Ness nodded, “Power up!”

Ninten pointed his hands at Ness as energy moved from him into Ness, “Power up!”

Ness grit his teeth as his hands began to spark with lightning magic, “Thunder!” Light flashed and the crack of thunder echoed through the streets as Ness drove his hand forward. The light cleared revealing two of the guards were singed and down and the boys were nowhere to be seen.

“That way!” One of the guards pointed and they all started running.

The guards ran straight as Ness and Ninten watched them run by from an alleyway. The two boys stepped out and laughed. Ninten pointed in the direction they ran off in, “Ha, what a bunch of morons!”

The sound of a throat clearing caused the boy's eyes to snap open and their laughter to halt. They slowly looked back and saw a very large guard standing in front of the two guards who were still charred from Ness’s lightning bolt.

Quickly Ness pointed his hand at the large man, “Thunder!” Another loud crack of thunder filled the streets, but once the light settled the guard stood as though nothing was wrong, his hand in front of him gave off a simple yellow glow.

“Earth Magic?” Ninten asked.

“Definitely Earth Magic,” Ness confirmed.

“Run?” Ninten asked.

“Running,” both boys turned and dashed as quickly as they could without dropping the food they were carrying.

The guard grunted and stomped his foot hard on the ground. The yellow glow spread from his foot, past the two boys, then the ground in front of Ness and Ninten broke apart as a rock wall rose up effectively blocking their path.

Ninten tried jumping at the wall and climbing it, but slid down the smooth surface, “This could have gone better…”

Ness turned around, ready to fight, “I sure wish you knew some offensive spells right about now.”

“Hey, I’m a pacifist!” Ninten folded his arms and pouted.

“Then why are you the one who keeps coming up with ideas that get us into trouble?!” Ness stood in front of Ninten protectively as the guards approached.

“Oh hey!” A new voice called from on top of the building to Ness’s left, immediately a look of relief came over both boys, “I’ve been looking for you guys!”

A boy slightly larger than Ness and Ninten with messy black hair dropped from the building and stood between the boys and the guards.

“Rock!” Ness cheered.

“Where have you been?!” Ninten demanded

“Sorry I overslept,” Rock yawned and stretched, “I told you I didn’t want to be up before dawn on a Saturday.”

The guard cleared his throat to get the boy’s attention, “if you’re with those thieves over there then that makes you just as guilty as they are, we’re going to teach you a lesson for stealing.”

“Who stole what now?” Rock looked over to Ness and Ninten who shrugged while holding the bags of produce up. Rock stood up to the guard not at all concerned that the man towered over his own stature, “Are you accusing my friends here of stealing rations that were sent for them to eat anyway?”

Ninten leaned closer to Ness, “How’d he know about that?”

Ness sighed, “He’s probably been following us for a while like he normally does…”

“Creepy…” Ninten shivered.

Rock sweatdropped but shook it off, “I stand by my friends here, so if you want to get to them, you’re going to have to through me!”

“Fine!” The three guards made their move and charged forward.

Rock ducked under the large guard and slid under under him while leg sweeping, knocking him off balance. Rock came up hard with a jumping uppercut sending the largest aggressor flying back past the two smaller shark finned guards.

One of the guards who had already been charred by Ness tried to jump Rock next. With quick reflexes, Rock sidestepped and placed his open palm against the man’s back. Light built up in his hand and once it was expelled the man was launched into the wall of a nearby building. The last guard put up his hands and began to run away. He made it half a block down when a sharp metal disk whizzed by his face and embedded itself into the wall front of him. Rock stepped forward and pulled the blade back from the wall and stared at the guard, “They’re going to ask you when you get back what you saw here today.”

The large guard pushed himself back to his feet and started running towards Rock again.

“Look out!” Ness called as Rock pointed his hand back without looking and fired another beam of light which launched the guard back toward the building where he slid to the ground near the other unconscious man.

The remaining guard shook his head rapidly, “Nothing! I didn’t see anything!”

“Good, you can go now,” The Shark Guard nodded and ran off in a panic.

Ness ran up to Rock, “Thanks! That was awesome!”

Rock gave Ness a thumbs up, “Let’s get out of here before more guards show up.”

The three boys took back roads into town to avoid being spotted by any lingering search parties.

“So did you hear what they plan to do to all the food Rock?” Ninten started up, “They’re going to burn all the food that’s for the town and tell the town that no food ever came and people are going to have to keep eating mush or go hungry unless we do something!”

Ness nodded, “Mr. Minch did say that, I can’t believe he would do something like that. But if we told anyone about what we heard who would believe us?”

Rock looked down at the sacks the other two were carrying, “You’ve got quite a bit of fresh food there.”

“Yeah, it was all we could get away with,” Ninten showed off his two bags.

Rock grinned, “If people wouldn’t believe us that Mr. Minch is going to burn all the food then we just won’t tell them.”

“What?!” Ninten immediately huffed as his emotions turned over.

Rock pulled him back down, “Let’s do this instead…”

The sun was finally visible in the sky as people in Onett were leaving their homes and forming queues to the stores that had only dried meat and vegetable mush to sell. People were looking disheartened as they waited their turn to be given their portions of the tasteless slop.

“It’s here! Everyone it’s here!” People turned their heads as they saw three boys in tunics running down the street, “The food from Threed made it last night! It’s at the southern warehouse!” Everyone in town lit up as they saw the boys carrying bags of fresh food and immediately a swarm of townsfolk made their way south toward the warehouse.

Rock watched the people go and smiled, “When the people get there they’ll be demanding to be let in to get some food. There will be no denying that the food made it now.”

“But what about Mr. Minch?” Ninten demanded, “People still won’t know that he planned to burn the food.”

“Pick your battles Ninten,” Rock patted him on the shoulder, “Today it was more important for everyone to eat than it was to topple a dishonest loan shark.”

Ness nodded, “Yeah, you saw the looks on all their faces when they saw the food? We gotta do this one step at a time.”

All three boys walked up to Ness’s house and stepped inside. Ness’s mother was preparing things in the kitchen, “Ness, Ninten? Where did you sneak off to this morning?”

Rock leaned into the kitchen and waved at Ness’s mom, “Good morning ma’am.”

Ness’s mother smiled, “Oh, good morning Rock, were you with them too?”

Rock nodded, “Yes, I heard the food carriages from Threed bringing the food in last night, so I got Ness and Ninten up early so we could be first in line to get some of it.”

“Good thinking!” Ness’s mom smiled, “Is your father still out of town?”

Rock frowned for a moment but quickly righted himself, “Yes ma’am, he’s on important business still.”

Ness’s mom smiled sadly at Rock, “Well let me make some breakfast for everyone then.”

A weight lifted off Ness’s shoulders as his earlier whereabouts were no longer a concern to his mother. “Thanks,” Ness mouthed to Rock as he carried his bags into the kitchen.

“Kiss-ass,” Ninten mouthed as he walked by Rock with his bags causing them both to giggle.

Ness’s mom made a large meal while the boys put the rest of the food away. Three younger girls came running into the room when they smelled something good cooking, “Real food!”

Ness’s mom looked sternly at the girls, “Now Tracy, we’ve been fortunate enough to have never gone without real food, and while we can be thankful that today we have better food than we have for the last week, don’t forget to be grateful for having any food at all.”

“Yes mom,” Tracy gulped and turned to the other girls, “Umm Minnie, Mimmie, help me set the table.”

On the other side of the room, the boys had gotten bored and started poking each other with vegetables that were being put away. Ninten jabbed a celery at Ness’s face before putting it up. Ness retorted by poking Ninten with a carrot and putting it up. Ninten pulled out a potato and bopped in on Ness’s head and put it away. Ness pulled out a beat and shoved it in Ninten’s face causing Ninten to jump, “Not beats! I hate beats!”

“Ness!” Ness’s mom called out, “stop tormenting your cousin!”

Ness grimaced, “He started it…”

Everyone went back to working for another minute and then Ninten poked Ness again with another potato. Ness poked back with a turnip. Rock picked out two peppers and pushed one into each of the other two’s mouths quickly. Ness and Ninten started coughing from surprise and then the heat of the pepper kicked in and they started fanning their tongues.

Ness’s mom shook her head and laughed, “You three really are like brothers with your antics.”

Ness hopped from one foot to another while trying to take his mind off his burning tongue, “How come you yell at me but don’t say anything to Rock for this?!”

Ness’s mom grinned, “Because I know by the time Rock steps in, you two probably deserve it.”

The two boys were panting to cool their tongues and glared daggers at Rock while Rock only scratched the back of his head and showed off a toothy grin.

The moment was broken as an annoying knock started rapping on the door to the beat of shave and a haircut.

Tracy looked her cousins and sighed, “You know who that must be…”

“I’ll get it,” Ness ran to the front of the house and opened the door.

Pokey and Picky Minch stood out front. Pokey rubbed his chubby belly, “Heya neighbor! Something sure smells good in here!”

Picky waved more politely, “Hey Ness, sorry our dad came home a little while ago really upset about something and started yelling a whole bunch, we were hoping to maybe hang out until he calms down.”

Ness had a pretty good idea what Mr. Minch was angry for and sympathized with the boys. He turned his head and yelled, “Hey mom, would it be alright if Pokey and Picky joined us for breakfast?”

An audible groan came from everyone else in the kitchen, but Ness’s mom very politely answered, “That’s fine dear, food is ready so everyone needs to wash up.”

Everyone made room at the table for the two extra guests while Rock and Tracy helped serve the food out.

Pokey looked down at the plate and smiled, “Thank you so much ma’am, you’ve really outdone yourself today, this looks and smells so delicious!”

“Just shut up and eat it…” Ninten grumbled barely loud enough for Pokey to hear him.

Pokey eyed Ninten and smiled in a way that made the dark haired boy shiver.

Once breakfast was done everyone helped clean up, except for Pokey. Picky nudged him but all Pokey did was complain about having twisted an ankle.

The last of the dishes were put away when Pokey hopped off his chair, “Hey Ness, you gotta come with Picky and me, we got something cool to show you!”

Ninten crossed his arms, “And what is this something cool exactly?”

Pokey put a hand up in front of Ninten, “I don’t remember inviting you, I only told Ness to come.” The hand then turned to a pointing finger towards Rock, “And unless you’re more useful than a flashlight then we don’t need you coming either.”

Rock’s eyes widened and his arms crossed. Ninten was too annoyed to take it as he groaned and left the room, “Good cause I don’t want to hang out with you anyway.”

Pokey made a rude gesture with his finger and eye socket to Ninten’s back, “Come on Ness, let’s go.”

Ness shrugged and grabbed his shoes, “What is it you want to show me anyway?

“You’ll see!” Pokey looked excited about whatever it was.

Ness was almost dragged out the door when he looked back at Rock, “Oh hey, can we meet up at your house later?”

Rock nodded, “Of course!”

Ness called back into the house, “Hey mom, is it okay if Ninten and I stay at Rock’s house tonight?”

Ness’s mom laughed, “Tired of a house full of girls are you? That’s fine, we’ll have another girls night.”

“Thank you!” Ness waved to Rock, “Then I’ll see you later.”

“Come on, hurry already!” Ness followed Pokey and Picky up the mountain trail. Ness knew the trail well, he’d been up here hundreds of times it seemed and wasn’t sure what was so exciting that Pokey wanted to show him. Pokey then turned off the path and started pushing his way through the thick brush, “It’s this way!”

Ness followed the pair to areas no one ever really went through because of the thick foliage, “Whatever’s out here, how did you even find it?”

“Picky went running away like a little crybaby and found it first,” Picky sighed at Pokey’s comments but didn’t try and defend himself.

After climbing up through gaps between boulders and a few steep crevices Pokey stopped, “Whoa, it wasn’t doing that earlier…”

Ness climbed up behind Pokey, “What wasn’t doing whaaaa...?” Ness gulped as he looked around Pokey and saw a hole in the ground giving off a purple pulsating glow.

The three boys kneeled down on the ground and stared for a moment. Picky broke the silence by asking, “Do you think it’s some kind of magic?”

“If it’s magic then I sure don’t feel anything magical about it,” Pokey huffed.

“You don’t?” Ness looked almost shocked.

“Nu-uh, why? Do you?” Pokey’s eye piqued as Ness was looking down at the ground as if he were in some kind of trance. “You alright Ness?”

Ness nodded, “Yeah, but I definitely feel something… something powerful.”

Without thinking about it, Ness started digging. With just his hands he scooped mounds of earth out of the way, getting through the softer soil and slowly uncovering whatever was emitting the bright violet light.

Both Pokey and Picky started getting nervous. The more Ness was digging the faster whatever was down there was pulsating light. Ness started digging madly, he couldn’t even hear the other two as they shouted at him in worry. The light was becoming incredibly bright and both Pokey and Picky began backing away.

Ness’s hands finally hit something solid. The two boys watching could have sworn they saw a bolt of lightning shoot out from the ground to the sky, but lightning doesn’t work like that. When their eyes could focus again, they saw Ness standing by the hole, a purple gem like crystal floated just an inch over his hands which he held out under it.

“What is that?” Picky stared in awe as he got closer to take a look.

The moment was awe inspiring; the very atmosphere around the crystal shard gave off the smell of ozone, and the light was the kind of hypnotizingly majestic sort that commanded attention. The rest of the world quieted and darkened so that all focus could be had on this one artifact of vast importance. No one said anything for a moment until Pokey held out his hand, “Give it to me.”

“...Huh?” Ness and Picky both looked at him oddly.

Pokey nodded, “I’m the one that found this place, I brought you here, you wouldn’t have known anything was here if it wasn’t for me, that makes it mine.”

Ness frowned and looked back down at the crystal shard, “I guess you’re right, but there’s something about it…”

Pokey reached out to take it but the shard gave off another bright glow as several more beams of lightning emanated from it, setting a few small fires to nearby bushes that it struck.

“Ahh!” Pokey yelled, “Stop that!”

“I’m not doing anything!” Ness tried to defend himself as he watched the crystal emit more lightning energy.

“I don’t care, just make it stop!” Pokey yelled as he hopped over a bolt that nearly zapped his foot.

Ness focused on the crystal shard for a moment and the lightning assault ceased. Pokey and Picky caught their breaths but then held it as the light from the shard enveloped Ness in purple. The shard gave off another bright flash and a crack of thunder and then vanished. Ness’s eyes snapped open, his irises gave off the same purple light for a moment and then faded.

“Ness? What happened?” Picky tentatively stepped closer.

Ness shrugged, “I have no idea…”

“Where did that crystal thing go?” Pokey looked around the clearing.

Picky shook his head, “Didn’t you see? It like… went inside of Ness!”

“Well then can you take it out?” Pokey looked over Ness for any signs of where it went inside him.”

Ness shook his head, “I have no idea where it went or how it did whatever it did!”

“Fine…” Pokey swatted the air in disappointment, “I didn’t want a stupid crystal anyway.”

“We should go back to town,” Picky looked up at the sky and noticed a lot of clouds had rolled in. “We don’t want to get rained on.”

“Yeah, let’s go,” Ness agreed and led the way back down the mountain side.

The two brothers bantered back and forth coming down the mountain, but Ness was quiet. His mind was focused elsewhere as was proven when he stepped on a loose rock. “AHH!” Ness rolled off the hill side and took a shortcut down to the next crosspath down.

Ness landed on his back with his legs still up the mountain side. Pokey looked down and noticed Ness twitching, “Be careful!”

The three made it back to town without further incident. “Do you think dad will be in a better mood when we get home?” Picky sounded nervous.

A look of sympathy came over Ness’s face, “I’m sure he’ll be better by now.”

The three approached the Minch’s house and noticed an unusual carriage parked in front. Guards wearing dark colors of a uniform they had never seen before stood by the equally darkly colored vehicle. The boys walked by it not giving it much thought and approached the door but it opened before they could knock. The atmosphere immediately iced over causing all three boys to take a startled step back as a very tall man in a black coat with a pointed mustache stepped from the building. His arms were as long as the boys were tall as he waved Mr. Minch off, “Then we are left with little other choice…”

“Choice for what?” Pokey asked immediately. Pokey’s father stood behind the tall man making violent motions with his hands at his son to shut up.

A monocled eye fell upon Pokey, “Oh, so are these your boys?” The tall man leaned over and examined all three teenagers.

“The two on the left are, yes, the other is their… friend… I think…” Mr. Minch seemed slightly nervous.

Picky immediately shied away from the tall man, but Pokey put on his usual bravado by putting his hands on hips and standing cockily in place. The man laughed, “You’ve got some potential kid, keep that up.” The man then looked over at Ness, “You though… what’s your name?”

Ness narrowed his eyes and didn’t say anything to the strange tall man so Pokey answered for him, “His name is Ness, he lives next door.”

“Ness…” the man grinned in a way that creeped Ness out, “There’s something about you that we’ll have to keep an eye on isn’t there?”

“Gamgi Waluigi,” A certain fear was laced in Mr. Minch’s words as he regained the man’s attention, “Please let your superiors know that I stand fully prepared to support them in any way possible.”

“Indeed,” Waluigi eyed the man carefully before he began to walk away, “I expect they will be eager to take action here most… immediately.”

The boys watched the man enter the strange carriage in front of the house. The guards climbed aboard as well and the large horses began to pull the carriage away.

Mr. Minch watched the carriage carefully as it left, “Boys, I need you in the house, NOW!”

Both Pokey and Picky flinched but they obeyed and entered the house, “See ya Ness.”

Ness nodded to the two of them and was about to leave, “Ness,” Mr. Minch spoke the boy’s name in a low tone that caused his skin to crawl in dread.

Slowly Ness looked over his shoulder at the man who he had been hiding from just that morning, “Yes sir, Mr. Minch?”

“You will speak nothing of what you saw here to anyone, do you understand?!” Mr. Minch’s voice left no room for interpretation in his instructions.

“Yes sir… not a word…” Ness tried to sound sincere enough for the man to let him go.

Mr. Minch waved him off so he ran back to town as quickly as he could.

Ness’s tunnel vision was so bad as he ran towards Rock’s house that he didn’t even notice he ran past Rock and Ninten on the street, “YO! NESS!”

Finally Ness slid to a stop as he noticed his cousin and best friend waving at him, “Sorry guys, it’s been a freaky afternoon.”

Ninten’s eye piqued, “Umm yeah? You were with Mr. Freaky himself.”

Ness looked disapprovingly at Ninten, “We all know what kind of an asshat Mr. Minch is, he puts Pokey and Picky through just as much if not worse than he does to the town.”

Ninten shrugged, “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, at least in Pokey’s case if you ask me.”

“That doesn’t matter right now, something’s going on, we need to go talk!” Ness led the way back to Rock’s house and made sure the door was locked before he sat down.

“So…” Ninten pressed while Rock leaned against the wall giving Ness his full attention.

“We went up to Mt. Itoi,” Ness gave the others the details of his day. The expressions on their faces changed when he brought up the crystal shard, “After I dug it out it just floated in my hands for a bit and Pokey tried to take it but it like zapped him or something. It gave off an even brighter glow and then it just disappeared, I have no idea what happened to it.”

“You sure you didn’t fall off the trail and hit your head again?” Ninten had already noticed a bit of a lump on Ness’s head when he got back.

“I’m serious this happened!” Ness defended.

Rock nodded, “Okay, it sounds like you found a really cool magical artifact on the mountain and then it disappeared. Interesting…”

Ness nodded, “But that wasn’t the end! We came down the mountain and went back to the Minch’s house, and there were these people there. I’ve never seen anyone like them before, they looked like they were wearing military uniforms but definitely not Eagleland’s.”

Rock leaned forward, “Did you see or hear anything else?”

“Nothing that made a whole lot of sense,” Ness thought carefully, “There was this guy named Gamgi, or Waloogy, or something like that, and he was visiting with Mr. Minch.”

“A Gamgi…” Rock bit his lip and the other two waited for him to think.

“Do you know a Gamgi?” Ninten prodded first.

Rock shook his head, “I definitely don’t know one, but from what I’ve heard Gamgi isn’t a name, it’s sort of a rank, kind of like a general in the army.”

Curious as to who he might have seen, Ness asked, “Which army?”

Rock bit his lip as though he were still thinking, “From what I’ve heard from my father it’s high ranking officer for a member of the Golden Empire.”

“Golden?” Ninten chuckled, “What are they supposed to be really rich or something?”

Ness shrugged, “They sure didn’t look very golden, their uniforms were mostly black.”

“Yeah…” Rock tried to explain, “Most people don’t like the empire, they’ve been expanding a lot over the last two years, and supposedly they’re called the golden empire because they spread wealth and prosperity, but people also say that’s just a ruse to cover up something terrible.”

“I know I didn’t get a good vibe at all from their Gamgi then…” Ness shivered just thinking about him.

Rock still looked as though he was piecing something together in his head, “Did he say anything that you overheard?”

“Something about…” Ness tried to recall the exact words, “‘We have little other choice’ and ‘my superiors will be taking immediate action’... something like that. I know it had Mr. Minch looking frightened.”

“If Mr. Minch was scared then maybe these guys aren’t so bad,” Ninten laughed.

Rock rested his chin on his hand as he thought. Ness noticed he wasn’t saying anything, “What do you think Rock?”

“No idea…” Rock looked back up and smiled, “but I’m getting hungry, how about you guys?”

“Definitely!” Ninten cheered.

“Your mom sent some food with us for dinner,” Rock pulled out a bag and set it on the table.

The boys ate, played games, had fun, and allowed themselves to forget about the day’s drama. The old house lacked ventilation and had heated up from the afternoon sun and the fire the boys used to warm their supper. Shoes, socks, and overgarments were strewn about the room near the table the boys were playing at as the three assumed their guys night uniform of undershirts and trousers. The games went on for a few hours when Ness slammed down the last seven cards from his hand and declared, “Rummy!”

“No way!” Ninten leaned over the table, “A seven card Rummy, you gotta be cheating!”

“Nope, it’s legit!” Ness grinned with his eyes closed.

Ninten looked closer, “Wait… that’s a six of clubs, not spades! You are cheating!”

“Oh…” Ness looked down at the hand, “I guess it was…”

“Trying to trick us, this means war!” Ness barely had a chance to react as Ninten jumped from his seat and tackled him out of his chair.

Rock laughed as the two wrestled on the floor, rolling over each other trying to pin the other to the floor. It took him a moment to decide who to support but eventually dropped down and put Ness’s legs in an arm lock. Ness’s violet eyes opened wide as he felt Rock’s fingers dance across the bottom of his bare feet, “AHH! NOO!” Ness couldn’t keep himself from convulsing and laughing as Rock tickled his feet and Ninten kept him pinned to the ground.

Tears were streaking down Ness’s face, “I give up! I give up!”

“Are you going to cheat again?” Rock asked with his fingers dangerously close to continuing the torture.

“Never!” Ness declared immediately.

“I’m glad you learned your lesson,” Ninten joked then stretched and yawned.

“Long day?” Rock joked. The other two nodded and Rock helped Ness off the floor, “Let’s go to bed then.”

“Yay, bed!” Ninten marched into Rock’s room, pulling off his shirt and trousers as he entered. Rock blew out the candles that were giving them light and made sure all the drapes were shut. There was barely enough light coming from behind the curtains to see Rock pull the covers back on the bed and then he and Ness stripped to their underwear as well. Ninten immediately took the right side of the small bed as Rock and Ness fell onto the left.

Everything was quiet for a moment as the boys settled in for the night. Ninten looked over and broke the silence, “I haven’t gotten to jerk off in like three days.”

“Pffft!” Both Ness and Rock couldn’t help but laugh at how blunt Ninten could be.

“It’s true, there’s too many people living at home.” Ninten grumbled slightly, “And unless he’s been sneaking off and doing it elsewhere then I don’t think Ness has either.”

Ness shook his head, “I haven’t been.”

Ninten chuckled and the other two could feel his movements as he slid his underwear off under the covers. Everyone’s eyes were starting to adjust to the dark as they could make out the sheet over Ninten’s groin tented high and movement going up and down.

Ness and Rock followed suit, lifting their butts enough to slide their underwear off and then kicking the garment from their legs. Ness’s dick was already hard knowing what was coming, and the moment he grabbed onto it he couldn’t help but let out a deep sigh. The other two heard him and couldn’t help but laugh a little, “What?” Ness demanded as if he was hurt by their reaction, “Like Ninten said… it’s just kind of been a while.”

“I said three days,” Ninten chuckled, “That sigh was like three months worth!”

“Whatever,” Ness ignored Ninten and started sliding his hand up and down.

Rock grinned but just focused on his own stroking. Rock pulled his hand out from under the sheet and held it up to his mouth as he spit into his palm and then reached back down. The sound of his self pleasing motions began to make wet popping sounds as his hand motions picked up speed.

Ninten mimicked Rock and spit on his hand for lubricant. Ness wasn’t far behind as he did the same thing. Ninten started grunting and groaning as he stroked himself faster. The bed was lacking in space for all three of them which meant their hips and legs rubbed against each other as they gyrated in pleasure.

The dark room was filled with the sounds of wet slips, slight moans, hitched breaths, and wooden creaks from the bed frame as it tried to support all the movement from on top of the thin mattress. The air held excitement as the three boys listened to each other masturbate, each time wandering eyes met in the darkness they would only laugh with each other.

Ninten’s breathing was coming in like gasps, and then his breath hitched unable to breathe smoothly at all. Ninten’s leg hook around Rock’s as he stopped stroking for a moment, “Will you jerk me off please?”

“Sure,” Rock didn’t say anything else as Ninten’s left hand reached for Rock’s right hand. He took Rock’s hand and slowly guided it to his waiting penis. As Rock’s fingers circled around it Ninten gave off another moan. Ninten twitched on the bed as Rock began to stroke his slick hardness.

Ness leaned up and looked over Rock. In the dark he could just make out Ninten’s eyes squeezed shut and his chest rising and falling. Ninten was the thinnest of the three, and his small stomach was rising and falling due to both his breathing and bucking hips. The cover was just below Ninten’s belly button where Rock’s arm disappeared into and was moving rapidly up and down under the tent the sheet made over Ninten’s nether regions. Ninten’s hips bucked off the mattress every few strokes and Ness could make out his cousin’s legs spreading and curling under the sheet.

Rock felt a hand on his left hip as Ness reached under the cover and snaked his way towards Rock’s groin. Rock couldn’t help but sharply take in a breath as Ness’s hand pointed his dick upright.

Ness’s started sliding Rock’s foreskin down and up the head of his cock. Rock’s eyes looked over and met with Ness’s for a moment as they shared a silent message. Ness squeezed harder and stroked faster causing Rock to start bucking his hips as well.

Rock’s left hand snaked its way across from his own belly to Ness’s thigh giving him a slight squeeze before moving up. Ness felt the hand gently caress his right thigh and then it reached his balls. The fingers squeezed his balls gently, and Ness flexed his dick out of reflex.

“Oh!” Ninten squirmed and writhed more as Rock’s right hand moved down to cup Ninten’s balls as well. Ninten’s left hand moved to find Rock’s dick and met with Ness’s hand that was still on it. Ninten giggled to himself as he put his hand over Ness’s and they began to stroke Rock together.

Ness actually slid himself closer to Rock so more of their side was touching as they touched each other. His whole body was craving attention and release. He hardly noticed his own moaning as Rock began to stroke him.

“Oh… ohh… Oh!” Ninten couldn’t help but look over Rock to see. Ness’s upper body was completely exposed. He envied Ness for being more muscular than he was, and Rock was more muscular still but they were both really lean. Ness and Rock’s arms were crossed much like his left arm was crossed with Rock’s right. They were speeding up to the point that all of their bodies were nearly vibrating on the bed.

Feeling a little devious, Ninten used his free right arm to pull down gently on the sheet. The way the sheets were tented from their jerking motion made it easy to pull the sheet down a little bit, first exposing himself to the night air with Rock’s hand still stroking him. He kept pulling slightly and pulled the sheet down from over Rock and then Ness.

Ness felt the lack of the sheet over him and looked down noticing that there was no longer anything covering up his modesty but didn’t care much about it at the moment. He looked over and could see Rock’s dick in the darkness too, as well as Ninten’s, and then he noticed Ninten was checking them out as well. The two grinned at each other and laughed off any awkwardness feeling instead a connection growing between them as they made themselves completely vulnerable to each other.

Comparing what they had the boy’s noticed Rock’s equipment was the biggest between the three of them, it looked almost an inch longer and a little thicker than Ness’s own. Ninten’s was almost the same size as Ness’s maybe just a little thinner, it was hard to tell in the dark.

“Ahh!” Ninten’s leg muscles locked which caused his hips to vibrate faster. Ness found his leg entwined with Rock’s and the sides of their bodies rubbing against each other harder. Ness could also feel Ninten’s hand tighten over his own which was still jerking Rock off.

“I’m gonna… I’m gonna!” Ninten bit his lip as he raised his hips much higher than before.

“Me too…” Rock breathed out hotly.

“Guys I…” Ness choked out as he neared his limit.

“I’m cumming!” Ninten went first, his sperm shot across his body, his first shots puddled near his neck while the last shots dribbled out near the base of his dick, “Ahh! Wow…”

Ness’s breathing was completely erratic, “Jerk me off, just a little tighter!” Rock complied and squeezed just a bit as Ness went over the edge, “Oh yes! Oh yes!” Each of Ness’s spurts fired a different distance, first hitting his stomach, then launching all the way to his face, then back down.

Rock took over jerking himself off for the last few strokes as Ness and Ninten moved their hands down caressing his thighs and balls, “That’s it, I’m… I’m cumming!” Both Ness and Ninten watched as Rock’s testicles tightened and semen exploded from his cock, landing on his chest with quiet splash noises.

All three boys were drenched with sweat and out of breath. They looked at each other as if to confirm they were all in the same condition and then laughed. Ness pulled a cloth off the nightstand and wiped himself up real quick before passing it down the line. Rock wiped up and passed it to Ninten who took the cloth and made a face, “You guys, ewww.” They all laughed again as Ninten wiped up anyway.

The sheet was pulled back over them and they began to pass out almost immediately.

“Good night Ninten, good night Rock,” Ness let out in a relaxed voice as he nodded off.

“Mmmph,” Ninten responded as he was almost out already.

Rock’s eyes didn’t open as he chuckled slightly, “Night you guys.”

End Chapter

I know I have a tendency to make very dark themed stories, and while this one may have a few dark moments I at least wanted to get things started on a bit of a light hearted note. Banter between Ness and Ninten felt like a good way to do that. And this is a yaoi, so the hot scene at the end of the chapter is just kind of a requirement.

Hope you enjoyed it, let me know what you think in the reviews and I’ll respond on Tumblr.

‘Til next time!
