The embodiment of evil itself is said to never be seen unless deemed necessary or in another realm not usually accessed by mortals. But when evil is provoked to a point, sometimes it shows itself to you...

Many disasters had happened in Terror Lane, but for Vincent they were all rumors and fibs to get you away from the area since it was practically run by a gang when Vincent moved in. They weren't exactly normal gangs either. Usually you'd think they dabbled in drug smuggling, gunfights and the like, but this was not the case. They seemed to be a very mysterious bunch. Everytime the cops showed up to a crime scene, a dark, swirled, crimson skull would appear on the victim's head. The victim would also be told by witnesses or friends of theirs that the person or person(s) would act in an unusual way before doing something drastic and shouting "For Giygas!".

You could say they were Cultists but calling them that would have others questioning your sanity, but Vincent didn't think all that gossip was worth thinking about. After all, he had just moved away from Australia to start a new life and get away from his family. They always argued and started fights with him and each other. He just couldn't bear it anymore. He had lived at Terror Lane for a few months now noticing nothing wrong with the place and thought to himself why people would even call this "Terror Lane" in the first place. It was the complete opposite for Vincent. Everything went his way and all was well in his world as far as he was concerned. He recently unwrapped his SNES from the boxes of stuff and started to play his games again after work in the afternoon. He recently got addicted to the Earthbound series again. He loved that game. The story, the concept behind Giygas and the powers behind Ness and Ninten intrigued him to no end. He didn't play Mother 3 though, he wasn't a fan of it.

Vincent had actually gotten up to Giygas and it had been years before he battled him for the first time. Oh the good times, it was also a good way to avoid the family and their arguments. Just Vincent and the SNES. That was all he needed. As Vincent got to the dialogue of Giygas, his doorbell rang. He left the game on and put down the controller. I wonder who that would be. A workmate perhaps to call him back to work his shift? No way. He didn't give his address out to many people. He was a bit insecure that way but it was necessary in his head just so his family would not bring their hatred wherever he went. He opened the door to reveal a package on his doorstep with a very suspicious looking logo on it saying "Good things come in Threes" written on the top of the box in red marker. This was very odd as Vincent never gave out his location except to workmates. Then it hit him. It was probably a joke from the people he worked with, I mean they did know he was playing Earthbound, he talked about it alot in the workplace.

He smirked at the package and opened it to his eyes widening in shock. It was a skull covered in what looked like the same red marker palette that had been used to write on the box. Vincent facepalmed and mumbled to himself, cursing his workmates for playing such a cruel prank. He went back inside and jumped on his couch and noticed something odd on his TV screen. The battle between Ninten and Giygas/Giegue was commencing and the usual theme played in the background. Vincent could have sworn he left it at the point of Pokey talking about him being the Embodiment of Evil itself but shrugged it off and figured that he skipped the dialogue without him being aware of it.

He played out the battle as it was meant to be played but instead of praying he decided to do it the harder way. Poisoning Giygas/Giegue. It has been 2 minutes since using constant poison on him and the moment Giygas is meant to die, it stopped. Something didn't feel right... The music of when you battle Giygas in the first game stopped. Ninten turned to his two companions Ana and Lloyd and turned to Giegue and then the most intriguing thing happened. Ninten walked up to Giegue and boarded his ship. He looked back at Ana and Lloyd again and shook his head as if they were never useful to him in the first place. The Giygas Battle music from the 2nd game started playing as soon as Ninten boarded the alien craft as if something was going very wrong. Vincent got confused.

"What? I don't remember this music being in this game?" He thought to himself maybe that's where the creators got inspiration for the 2nd game's music and pressed on. Giygas turned and embraced Ninten and turned back to the two characters kneeling and praying for help. He couldn't help but laugh at the inferiority of the human beings he saw before him. Ninten could only look down at the space craft he stood upon and rejected them both.

Giygas wrapped his hand around Ninten and looked at the two weeping humans before him and laughed.

"Ninten, is a smart human being... much like those who raised him. I guess after all, they raised me too. We are brothers, Ninten. We were meant to bring torment to this world!" A large explosion came from the large sphere surrounding Ninten and Giygas and a shockwave spread throughout the platform. It seemed to have disintegrated the two humans outside the shield into piles of ashes.

"I shouldn't have had to use that, but you were standing there Ninten. I couldn't kill you without testing you first. To see if you were worthy of our partnership." Giygas walked to the controls of the alien ship and was stunned to hear a familiar tune. It sounded as if someone was singing the familiar song that reminded him of George and Maria as they were about to take off. Giygas checked outside the ship and saw Queen Mary, the one who taught Ninten and the two companions the lullaby in the first place. Giygas tried to unleash an attack on the Queen singing but to no avail. With the last of his strength he transferred all of his PSI into Ninten. Such overwhelming power flowed through him.

"Fulfill my race's legacy... Kill the humans. They should never... know the... power of... PSI magic... I trust you Ninten..." Giygas then dissipated into the ship and faded into nothingness. Ninten's power filled him with hate. He finally got to unite with a brother like figure and it was taken from him. Ninten then somehow took control of the ship and flew off in rage into outer space.

The Queen collapsed, using all of her PSI to stop Giygas took a toll on her. She then fell to the ground and died.

A text box appeared on the screen stating Many Years Later. Ninten appeared to be standing near a large purple sphere inside a very dark and what appeared to be a living cave. Ninten channeled thunder into the purple sphere and slowly faded away. The sphere then glowed and showed the image of Ninten's face. It appeared to have kept Ninten's image. A familiar voice growled within the sphere and spoke in a deep echoing voice...

"''Finally! I return! Ninten, for resurrecting me I shall conquer this Earth and use your rival as my tool to do so. WE will have vengeance Ninten! For our family! For OUR race!" ''Vincent was mindblown at this point. He never remembered this actually happening but he was loving it. The game ended and Vincent was so thrilled that he couldn't resist playing the 2nd game. He would stay up all night playing it too. He played it until the progression of the 2nd game lead Ness into the odd structure where Giygas was supposed to reside. He was there alright but something was... different....

Pokey resided in his machine and then proceeded to go through the first half of his dialogue leading up to "Giygas cannot think rationally anymore" The sphere behind him sparked and overwhelmed with energy and struck the machine and fried Pokey. He was nothing but a dry husk after the explosion of lightning that hit the machine and surged through him. The sphere then threw a spark in front of Ness and bellowed at him.

"''Oh Ness... You failed to see that your rival was foolish enough to think he could control me... I overflow with your power and my brother's power, Ninten. He is your ancestor is he not? I see you have different intentions on why you are here. He chose to follow me and yet you choose to oppose me? Ninten would appreciate me wiping you from existence!" ''An earthquake erupted and skeletal hands appeared above the ground. Ness's feet appeared to have been grabbed and started sinking like quicksand. Ness shouted for help but it appeared that the companions who came with him, died as soon as Pokey did. Ness was dragged into the ground up to the waste and was tortured with PSI energy. He was shocked, burned and frozen. He was then shattered and grinded into bone and skin fragments. The PSI energy picked up the fragments of what was left of Ness and sent it to the wall which enveloped it into the ground.

Vincent was horrified. This couldn't be happening. He knew for a fact that this was NOT part of the story... He turned the game off and threw himself onto the couch and started panicking. "That was not right at all." he thought to himself. He almost felt tempted to call the very family he avoided but he then remembered why he avoided them in the first place. He braved himself and like all of mankind, curiosity overcame him. He turned the SNES back on and it appeared to have jumped itself to where he was before when he turned it off. It then spoke again.

"''You dare deny me? After the present I send you?" ''The sphere then stopped and the face of Ninten faced the ground. "Let my curse last longer throughout your street! It was cursed once before, now prolonged for eternity!" The floor below Vincent turned black and Giygas's face was plastered all over the walls and floor. Vincent was horrifed and couldn't think straight. He then thought he could call his friend Paul over. He was a former cultist of this "Giygas" type cult lurking around and could use his wisdom and advice on how to deal with this if not deal with it himself. Paul was then called on Vincent's cell. He did not answer but as soon as Vincent hung up the phone, the doorbell rang again. Vincent creeped to the door and checked out the peephole of the door. It was Paul. "Thank GOODNESS!" he thought to himself with a sigh of relief and pulled the door wide open... Paul waved to Vincent and looked at the ground.

"What's going on here?" Paul questioned as he felt the ground and stared at the walls in amazement. Vincent stuttered over his words then cleared his throat. He then said "My Earthbound games man... I think they're haunted!" Paul couldn't help but laugh and studied the ground again... He looked up at Vincent and told him in a slow but calm voice, "I hate to break it to you Vince but it looks like you've been cursed."

"Wait a minute... that's what Giygas said!" Vincent replied and was at a loss for words. Paul studied the ground further and grabbed his phone. "Wh-what are you doing?" Vincent stammered. "I am calling someone I know that will solve this problem." Paul replied again very calm and collected. Vincent wondered how Paul could cope so easily with something so unnatural then he remembered where Paul came from and soon shut his wandering brain up. Half an hour later a car pulls up to have a detective walk up and look inside Vincent's house. He introduced himself as "Ben" and stepped inside. He also looked down at the floor and nodded at Paul. Paul then nodded back in confirmation, although no words were spoken.

"What's going on guys? How can I fix this? What do I do?" Vincent was flipping out and didn't like the circumstances that he was brought under. Ben, just as calm as Paul replied in the same calm and collected voice as he did. "You've been cursed, Vincent." Vince then looked up at Paul and Ben and clenched his fists. "Yes I know that I have been told 2-3 times today, once from a game that isn't even meant to talk back!"

Paul and Ben looked at each other again and the ground started shaking. As the ground shook, Ben and Paul smiled at each other... their faces started to melt and their eyes started to glow a bright yellow. They faced to the horrified Vincent and spoke in sync as if one person was speaking within two people.

"You abandoned the first, I changed the outcome. You abandoned the second, I visit you personally. You never saw the third and that's how you summoned me. You could have stopped me the third time and yet you never explored the possibility. You are the pinnacle of stupidity. The reason why the human race meddles with things they shouldn't. The reason why humans cannot be trusted. The reason why I have to end you!"

Ben and Paul sunk into the walls of what was Vincent's house and absorbed the darkness. The darkness combined and travelled onto the ground and formed into an orb of energy. A familiar figure's head appeared and looked straight up at Vincent and smirks at his soon to be 3rd victim. The sphere then spoke in an alien voice much deeper than when Ben and Paul spoke. It sounded confused and warped as if its mind shattered into a million pieces.

"I feel good, Vincent. The thoughtlessness of those around you. The very family that raised you. Your stupidity! It hurts my mind oh it hurts. It's not right for a human to abandon his family. It is not right. I am HAPPY that you are this naive however, Vincent. Yet I am so sad that you had to defy me. I do appreciate you bringing your two friends here however to welcome my return! You will go back to wherever you came from and fear wherever you walk!" As soon as Vincent heard the part of "ness" the ground shook again and the "ness" part of the sentence echoed throughout the warped room. The orb repeated itself again and again leaving out most words to finally reveal the following statements:

"Ness..."

"Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness..."

"I...Feel...G..o..o..d..."

"It Hurts...It Hurts..."

"I'm so sad, Ness..."

"Friends..."

"Go B..a..c..k"

"I am...H...A...P...P...Y..."

"It's not right, not right..."

"Ness!"

Energy channeled through the house and struck Vincent at his core, bringing up the memories of his life flashing before his eyes. He was bullied alot as a kid which was also why he was forced to move and change his name. He didn't like his original name but it seemed that Giygas knew what it was. He then sent brainwashing messages through Vincent's mind but referred to his old name. The words spoken were:

" You will serve me and conquer this world in my name. You will kill all who stand in my way and bring destruction to humanity. You will contain my power in the Devil's Machine to keep my mind intact. You will serve me without question, Porky Minch!"
