An earthbound battle from Jeff's perspective:
The four chosen children approached the mountainside slowly. It had been days since they had any rest. Jeff stopped only after the other three children did. They nodded to each other, Poo grabbed him and pulled him behind a rock.
'Starmen,' Ness mouthed to him, from behind another rock, where he had hid with Paula, who was currently eyes closed and concentrating.
"Have they seen us?" he whispered to Poo, only to be answered by Ness and Paula jumping away just fast enough to avoid a beam that instantly incinerated their once cover.
"Be a little louder why don't you?" The prince growled, only to vault over the cover and disappear.
Paula and Ness, still in sight, were immediately assaulted by a barrage of lasers. Ness whipped out his baseball bat began glowing as he weaved through them with unnatural grace, using his bat to redirect the lasers he couldn't dodge. Paula was much more confrontational, merely throwing her hands outwards and countering the lasers with lightning bolts of equal size.
Panicked, jeff whipped out his bag, pulling out his gun. Looking over his cover, he began taking aim. Poo had reached the four star-men, and became a crimson flurry as he launched himself at one of them, using PK fire to both shroud himself and enhance his attacks. Ness had reached another, who threw up a shield just in time to be launched away faster than he could see by Ness' swing.
Damn it, he was aiming for that one too.
Carefully, he began recalibrating his aim to another target, who began rushing the stationary Paula.
'I can hit this one!' he thought to himself, as the starman reached melee range. It released a devastating straight, but the girl jumped to the side, leaving the now cratered ground to absorb the impact.
'Now!' He thought, pulling the trigger. He heard a slight dink as the starman's head bobbed slightly, and turned towards him.
He could barely register fear as Gygas' agent began charging a laser, but Paula leapt forwards, psionic aura so powerful he could viscerally feel it from where he was.
"PK FIRE!" She screamed, launching a concentrated stream of fire that enveloped the upper half of the starman, and angled into the earth.
"Pay attention!" He yelled Poo yell, and he instinctively jumped, but his leg was still caught by the laser. And just like that he was an amputee.
"I got him!" he heard someone yell in the distance, but everything was strangely bright, and everything sounded like it was covered in cotton. Someone was standing over him, but lines didn't quite make sense.
Everything rushed back into him though, and his senses were back to normal in time to see Ness hover his hand over his now stub of a leg, and grow new tendons and muscles around a newly sprouted bone, the last part being the skin covering it as if nothing had happened.
"Be more careful!" He said with a goofy grin, only to get the wind knocked out of him as a laser hit him in the back. He turned, furious.
"I was talking!" He growled, and the three remaining starman, one beaten to a pulp by Poo, one crippled by a variety of paula's Psi powers, and one just getting back from being launched by Ness, froze in what could only be called fear. Ness's aura began expanding, and he floated up, sparks coming off him.
"PK ROCKING!" He roared, his aura jumping out, enveloping the starmen. They let out a horrible screeching noise, and they were simply... gone.
"Should have saved your energy," Poo grumbled.
"I lost my temper a little," He said with a shrug.
Poo looked straight at Jeff. "I wasn't talking about the attack." Paula sent a small bolt of lightning that hit him in the side of the head, causing him to grumble and rub where he was shocked.
Ness walked forward, looking at the giant steel door in the side of the mountain, and the keypad next to it.
"Hey, Jeff, can you help us out some here? You are the only one who can work this thing."
He grinned and nodded. He walked over to the keypad. He chuckled at the simplicity of the alien tech, and cracked it instantly.
Ness gave him his signature head nod, and entered. Paula thanked him for helping against the starman, and went in. Finally Poo walked by, and begrudgingly gave him a nod of approval.
Jeff stuck out his tongue and followed him in.
Accidenty went over the time, but whatever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
