Story of Ness:  While our main character Ness is sleeping a meteor crashes, waking him.  He goes out and finds it and his neighbor.  He goes back home because the police were blocking the path to the meteorite.  Then his neighbor Pokey (the one at the meteorite) knocks on Ness' door that fateful night.  Ness agrees to help him find his little brother Picky.  You go out and get Picky and at the meteorite a bee named buzz-buzz comes and tells you the horrible things in the future.  Then you run into Starman jr.  And buzz-buzz basically beats him with little help from you and Picky while Pokey hides behind you.  Then you bring your neighbors home and Pokey and Picky get punished and their mother kills buzz-buzz.  Buzz-buzz gives you the sound stone and explains more on his last breathe.  Ness begins.
