Together with You

Ninten was closely watching the chosen four, feeling a sense of déjà vu from the ordeal. It hadn't been that long since him and his friends had battled Giegue and now here is a different group of people who had to battle Giygas. Something like that couldn't have been easy. Something like the embodiment of evil wouldn't play fair in a fight. Ninten's eyes were set on only one. The prince of Dalaam. He found it fascinating that someone with his status would take orders from some random boy. Someone who resembles Ninten quite a lot. A doppelgänger in almost every way. Ninten could tell that he was slimmer and taller than the other boy, but past that they were identical.

He continued to observe the actions, trying to figure them out before approaching them. His doppelgänger was the leader of the group. He was confident in his actions and didn't back down from a fight. There was a girl who seemed caring but could also defend herself in a fight. A PSI powerhouse. A blond boy that was calculated with what he did. These two reminded Ninten of his friends, Ana and Lloyd, wherever they are now. Finally, the one that instantly got his attention, the prince of Dalaam. It was blatantly obvious that he hasn't talked to anyone his age. He was unsure how to act around his friends when it came to regular conversation. Ninten found the prince alluring and needed to know more about him.

After examining the chosen four, Ninten took his chances and approached them. Given all they gone through, they could easily find him untrustworthy. They did defeat the embodiment of evil and everything around them has gone back to normal, so that possibility is unlikely. The chosen four were mindlessly chatting when one of them one of them took notice of Ninten. The prince separated from the group and found Ninten hiding behind one of the houses in Saturn Valley.

"And who might this be? A long-lost sibling of Ness or something?" The prince said, studying the boy in front of him.

Ninten could tell this boy was strong just by looking at him. Fighting the prince would prove to be challenging but also entertaining. Ninten grabbed the prince's arm in an effort to challenge him. Why bother with the other three when this is who he has been looking for. Someone who would win against him. He asked the prince to a friendly duel. Ninten knew what he wanted and he needed the other three out of the picture. Either out of boredom or curiosity, the prince agreed.

Ninten was beaming with what he achieved. He had no idea where the prince was taking him, it certainly wasn't in the Valley. The stage was set and it was time for a battle of a lifetime. The two of them had agreed to one rule that needed to be followed. Nothing fatal. Ninten readied his weapon, a wooden baseball bat with nails jammed into it. He originally did this to help defeat troublesome enemies. It could be said that the prince is challenge, but Ninten didn't want to hurt him.

Ninten took aim at the prince, hitting his abdomen. The prince quickly countered the attack by slashing at the others chest with his sword. Blood soaked his shirt, but he didn't back down. Hitting the prince next in the knees. Unfortunately for him, the prince dodge the attack. The prince ended the duel with a finisher and was deemed victorious. Ninten knew he would have a fun time and truthfully, he was a bit rusty. The prince healed both of them and waited for Ninten too speak.

"We should do this again some time. I would love to learn more from you." Ninten stated.

The prince only smirked in response. He did find the boy's enthusiasm entertaining, but was more curious about why he looked so similar to Ness.

It was a new day in Saturn Valley and Poo was set on figuring out who the mysterious boy is. Even after their friendly duel, they didn't share their names to each other. The prince went to visit the mysterious boy in his home. He just randomly appeared, so the chosen four thought it was only right to offer one of the houses for him to stay at. Upon entering the home, the prince could see that this boy was getting along well with one of the Mr. Saturn.
