In the rural area in Mothersday stood a small home on top of a hill. A small adorable home with several windows, a cool blue rooftop, and a dog who was sleeping peacefully out in the lawn. It was truly a peaceful day inside the home. Two little girls named Minnie and Mimmie were playing with their dolls, a woman named Carol was in the kitchen making her son's favorite food; Prime Ribs. And on the second floor resides a young boy in his preteens. The boy's name was Ninten.

Ninten was always an odd child. He never quite fit with the rest of kids at school. While other's played board games and cards Ninten would isolate himself from the others. He loved baseball but he never got a chance to play with someone else. Every kid saw him as the freak of the school, an accident even. Yet Ninten grew accustomed to it.

He laid in bed waiting for his mom to call his name and come down for dinner. He struggled to go to sleep. Something has been nagging him. Something wasn't right, he could sense it.

"Give me a second Minnie!" Ninten's younger sister Mimmie called out. "Let me just get the doll real quick!" she closed the room's door.

Out of boredom Ninten began to levitate his iconic baseball bat with his mind. He drew the bat closer to him. Reminiscing of his baseball days where he use to play with his father.

"AAAAHHHH!!!" Mimmie yelled out in her room.

Ninten sprung up from his bed. "What the?!" Ninten grabbed his cracked bat and sprinted to his door, however his nightstand lamp interfered with him. "Oh my god!"

The lamp crashed into Ninten. Ninten dropped to the floor dropping his bat.

"What the!" Ninten quickly got up, retrieved his bat and gave the lamp a good smash. The lamp hit the floor but Ninten stood above and began to continuously smash the lamp, shattering the ceramic base to small fragments. Ninten rushed out of his room and body slam his way into his sisters room, breaking their wooden door in the process.

"NINTEN HELP!" Mimmie cried out. She pointed at her baby doll that was levitating in the air possessed under the influence of a poltergeist.

"Stay back baby sister!" Ninten held his ground. "I'll take care of this!" Ninten leaped in the air winding up his bat and just before he landed he annihilated the baby doll into oblivion. Ninten decapitated the doll and sent it flying across the room. Mimmie shrieked. Ninten then proceeded to smash the doll until it was no longer visible.

"It's done." Ninten called out. A small blue box was sticking out of the dolls chest. Ninten moved the hardened rubber and took out the small box. It was a small jewelry box, it was dusty and had small indigo pearls scattered along the edges.

Ninten opened the box and a small melody and a small ballerina begun to spin along to a gentle tune.

"Take a melody..." the song went but it didn't go on. After it sung it's small portion it went quiet. Ninten closed the box again and reopened it. It sung the same three second song and went quiet once more.

"Ninten." Mimmie asked quietly. She was hiding behind her nightstand. "What was that?"

"I'm not sure." Ninten, put the music box in his pocket.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH" Ninten's mom screamed in terror.

"MOM!" Ninten and Mimmie yelled out. They dashed out the room and ran down the stairs, almost flying.

They ran to the living room where Minnie and Carol were huddled together in the corner of the room. Lamps, cooking pans and brooms were levitating in the air similar to the doll.

"Don't worry mom!" Ninten leaped in the air twirling his baseball bat with one hand. He struck one pan on the way down knocking it out of a window. He then turned around and bashed two lamps with a single swing. The remaining lamp and the broom were floating towards Ninten, he gripped his bat and threw it at one lamp shattering it into microscopic pieces. He open his hand and using his telekinetic powers he summoned his bat to return back to him, knocking down a frying pan in the process. And with one powerful swing he struck the broom in the center of the wooden handle, sending splinters and pieces of wood scattering all over the living room.

The living room lights flickered on and off. Indicating that something evil was approaching. The house began to shake. Family portraits, paintings, dishes were falling down.

"Mommy what's going on!" Minnie cried out.

"Relax honey. Mommies here." Carol then hugged Minnie protecting her from the falling items.

Ninten closed his eyes and focused. He emptied his mind and peacefully searched for answers. He envisioned himself standing on top of a mountain alongside two other kids facing an extraterrestrial entity. He looked to his right and witness a small boy with paper white hair laying on the ground with mud and dirt stains covering his red shirt, his glasses were also seen next to him, cracked and broken. To Ninten's left he saw a young girl wearing a beat-up pink dress. Her golden hair was tangled and ruined her pink hat crushed underneath some rocks.

Giygas.

Ninten opened his eyes. The house was no longer shaking, the lights stopped flickering but the room was still a mess. "This is no dream." Ninten said.

"What?" Carol asked. "Son what are you talking about?"

"I don't even know myself." Ninten dropped his bat.

"Are you okay Ninten? What on earth is happening to our home? I'm so scared." Carol got up and hugged her three children, comforting them. "If only your father were here now."

The four of them hugged. Mimmie and Minnie were crying out of fear. Carol kissed each one of them on top of their heads. Then the phone ringed.

Carol was caught by surprised. "Oh, the phone! Could you get it Ninten?"

Ninten answered the phone. "Hello?"

"Ninten it's your dad." his father responded, Ninten's father sounded out of breath. It seemed that he was being chased by something.

"Dad! Something's happening to our house! We were attacked by pans and lamps and dolls and..."

"Hmm, I see. Sounds like it must be a poltergeist of some sort. I'm not sure what to do about it either. Perhaps there's something in the basement that can makes sense of things. Anyway you're our only hope. Now is the time for an adventure . Go forth, Ninten! Protect us all!" He then hung up the phone.

"Dad? Dad? Drat... I miss you." Ninten then placed the phone in its stand.

"Your father huh?" Carol sighed. "I was afraid this might happen. Ninten, sweetie, you must go. You're the only one that can protect us."

Ninten looked at his mother, her eyes were producing tears, he hugged his mom. This might be his last few moments with his family for the time being.

"Please be careful." Carol gently kissed Ninten's forehead.

"I will mom." Ninten walked up to his room and began to panic. The world's fate lies in Ninten's hands. He began to breathe heavily, all the stress and anxiety was running through his body. He took out his asthma pump and took two puffs. "Much better."

Ninten opened his closet and began to change. He wore his signature White, red and blue striped shirt, he buckled up his denim shorts, tied his red ascot around his neck and wore his favorite red cap.

Ninten took his cracked bat and "stuffed" it in his bookbag with the handle sticking out. He walked downstairs and headed towards the basement. Once he opened the door he immediately regretted it. It was frigid, cobwebs and dust were littered everywhere. Ninten went to the back of the room, he dug inside the old box the family had for years. Scuffing of the dust that had grown over time, he pulled out his Great-grandfathers Diary.

"Yuck." Ninten brushed off the dust that consumes the leather cover; he opened the book. Most of the diary was unreadable, but one one part did stand out.

"The Password... Where is the God's tail, that which was left behind by the ship that soars the heavens?" it read.

"The what?" Ninten said, he began to flip to other pages, some passages were unreadable and some pages were torn off. Ninten put the diary inside his bookbag and walked out of the basement. "Alright mom. I'm going."

Carol hugged Ninten one last time. "I love you Ninten. You're my hero."

"I love you too mom."
