Mother 3 - Peace's End

by Ki Hei

This is a script I wrote up based on the video game Mother 3. It's just a retelling put into a play format. It also might get blunt in some scenes so if you have never played Mother 3, you might get lost. I apologize for that... Any ways I hope you find it enjoyable at the very least. I plan on making this an animation one day, if all goes well.

1. Chapter 1

Claus: See, wasn't that fun?

Matt: You sure are no hero.

-Inside the burning forest-

-Flint is looking around-

-Flint notices two men in pig masks-

Flint thinking: What could they be planning?

Pig Mask A: I don't want to do it, you do it.

Flint: Just great….

Thomas: Flint!

Flint: No need for thanks.

Bronson: And man did Lighter take a beating. I don't see him walking anytime soon.

Lighter: Not at all. I'll be up in no time.

Lou: It would take a lot more than that to hurt our boss.

Bud: Do you feel that?

-The sky has started to rain-

Lou: Rain.

Bronson: Looks like Mother Nature is doing her part. This should help put out the fire. We should all get some shelter at the Inn. Lou and Bud. Do you mind lifting up Lighter for us?

Bud: Not at all.

-They head to the Inn-

-End of scene 2-

-Thomas walks into the room-

Thomas: Well mostly everyone has turned up. However... Flint. Have you seen your wife and kids?

Flint: Why? Has something happened to them?

Thomas: We don't know. We can't find them anywhere. Maybe they're back at your house.

Flint: I'll go check right away.

-Flint runs home in the rain-

-reaches for the knob that isn't their-

-Notices a bird sitting on the fence-

-He picks up the letter it had-

Hinawa: Dear Flint, This is Hinawa. I'm just writing to you to let you know that we're all having fun with Dad. Lucas and Claus have been spending all day playing with the Dragos. They just seem to have so much fun. We only wish you could be here with us. Next time you should get someone to take care of the ranch for us, so you can come too. We'll be coming home soon. You should expect us before night fall. I can't wait to prepare you some of your favorite omelets. Love, your wife and kids.

-Flint finishes reading-

Flint: She should have been back far before now.

-Flint starts to run to town-

Boney: *Bark!*

Flint: You want to come along too?

-Boney stares at Flint-

Flint: Come along.

-Flint unties Boney's leash-

-They run to town-

-On the way they run into Isaac-

Isaac: Flint!

Flint: Any signs of Hinawa?

Isaac: You need to see this.

-At edge of forest-

-The forest has been destroyed by Dragos-

Bronson: And here I thought Dragos were peaceful animals.

Abbey: This has to be wrong

Abbot: There's no way a Drago could do this.

Flint: At lease, not unprovoked.

Bronson: He's right. A lot of crazy events have been happening. But why…

Flint: I'll make sure to find out.

Boney: *Bark* *Bark* *Bark*

Flint: What is it Boney?

-Boney is barking at a piece of cloth on a branch up on a cliff-

Bronson: That's too high up for me to see.

Flint: I'll go around. There has to be some way to get up there.

Isaac: Don't tell me you plan on climbing up there.

Flint: If I have to.

Wess: Make way, make way.

Isaac: Wess?

Wess: I see you are in need of assistance.

Flint: Can you help me find a way to get up the cliff?

Wess: Well during all the commotion the only route has been broken off. That said, I know just the person who can help us out. Do you mind if I borrow your pooch?

Flint: Go ahead.

-Wess ties a bandana around Boney-

Wess: That way he'll know who sent him.

Flint: Who?

Wess: My son, Duster. A damn moron, but he can get the job done.

-Wess pulls out a sock-

-Boney sniffs the sock-

-Boney gives off a discussed face-

Wess: Now go bring him back.

Boney: *Bark*

-Boney runs off-

Abbot: Why did you have your son's sock in your pocket?

Wess: I'm always prepared. That is the life of a thief.

-Boney is running through the town-

-He approaches Wess's house-

-Boney is licking Dusters face-

Duster: …Hu? That bandana. Okay. Lead the way.

-Boney runs, Duster follows-

Wess: Ah, right on time.

Duster: I am Duster; A thief in training.

Wess: Well let's put your training to use. Use the Wall staple technique.

Duster: Even though I've never actually used it in a real situation?

Wess: I have faith in you. Now, hop to it.

Duster: Yes, sir.

-Duster begins to make stares from large staples-

-Duster is all the way at the top-

Duster: It's ready when you are!

Flint: Okay! I'm off.

Isaac: Be safe up there.

-Flint climbs the staples with Boney holding onto his back-

-At the top is Duster-

Duster: So I have decided to help you on your search.

Flint: That's nice and all, I mean no offense but will you be able to work with your leg?

Duster: This thing? Don't worry about it. I might have a limp leg but I can work just fine. You'll see.

Boney: *bark*

-Boney runs to the torn piece of cloth-

-Flint takes it off the branch-

Flint: This… is without doubt part of Hinawa's dress.

Duster: …Don't worry. I'm sure she'll turn up. You just wait.

Flint: I hope so…

-Loud noises are heard in the distance-

-Two pigs are working on a robot-

Pig Mask A: For the last time I still think we should have picked a cooler animal than a Caribou.

Pig Mask B: What's wrong with Caribous? Look at this thing. It's nice piece of art.

Flint: You two! Stop what you're doing!

Pig Mask A: Mission abort! Mission abort!

Pig Mask B: Hold your horses!

Pig Mask A: But I'm a pig!

-Pig Mask B presses a couple buttons on the computer-

-The Reconstructed Caribou starts to turn on-

Duster: That… can't be good.

Flint: Just hold back for now.

Pig Mask A: Go Metal deer!

Pig Mask B: I prefer the name Reconstructed Caribou.

-The Reconstructed Caribou attacks-

-Flint is holding it off-

-Flint hits its horns with his stick-

-Boney bit the Caribou on the foot-

-Flint is able to push back the Caribou-

Duster: Are you alright?

Flint: I'm fine.

-The Caribou makes a run at Duster-

-Duster pulls out his staples-

-He throws a staple to the ground-

-The Caribou's foot is stuck to the ground-

-Duster puts three more-

-In the end the Reconstructed Caribou can't move-

-It shuts down-

Flint: Now where did those two go?

Duster: Look!

-The flying pig ship has taken off-

Duster: But it appears they have forgotten something.

-Duster picks up a journal on the ground-

Duster reads notes: The animals here suck. We need to make them cooler. Our boss calls this mission. "Fascinating Chimera Project"

Flint: Everything that happened today was just so these pig suited men can make animals cooler?

Duster: It may be too early to jump to conclusions. We should just head back down.

Flint: That just might be a good idea.

-The rain stopped-

Duster: And it looks like the rain stopped.

-On the bottom of the cliff-

Flint: Where is everyone?

-Voice in the distance-

Isaac: Flint! Hurry! We have found Claus and Lucas.

Flint: My sons?

Duster: You should hurry. I need to head home.

Flint: Yes. Thank you, Duster.

-Duster leaves-

-Flint head to the base of the mountain-

-He sees both of his sons wrapped in a towel to keep warm-

-Flint hugs Claus and Lucas-

Lucas: Dad…

Flint: I'm so glad to see you both safe.

Tessie: They were both washed up at the bottom of the river. It's almost a miracle that they aren't hurt in anyway.

Flint: And Hinawa? Is she here too?

Ollie: Sadly… We still haven't found her.

Abbot: Just wait a little longer. I know we'll get news soon.

Bronson: Everyone!

-Bronson is running-

Ollie: Bronson? What are you holding?

-Bronson is holding a tooth of a Drago-

Bronson: I found the tooth. I have a feeling it will be a valuable weapon later.

Flint: What for?

Bronson: You see. It has to do with the place I found the tooth. You see… The place the tooth was…. It was in Hinawa's heart.

-Everyone is shocked-

-Flint is on his knees on the ground-

Bronson: Flint. Hinawa gave her live to help save your boys.

-Flint is slowly walking over to the camp fire-

-Flint picks up a stick and begins to beat the fire-

Tessie: Please Flint. The boys are watching.

Abbot: Stop it flint.

-Flint hits Abbot with the stick-

Abbey: *screams*

Ollie: Get a hold of yourself!

-Memories of when Hinawa leaving to take the kids to see their Grandpa-

-Flint is in jail-

-Door opens-

-Bronson enters-

Bronson: You have a visitor.

-The visitor is Claus-

Flint: Oh, hey Claus.

Bronson: Funny. I think you're the first one to be in this jail room. Well, we had no reason for it before now. Well, I'll just leave so you can have some time alone.

-Bronson leaves-

Flint: That was quite the show I pulled. I am so sorry.

-Claus puts an apple on the jail window-

Claus: You must be hungry. And watch the core. They can be hard at times.

Flint: Claus. Please look after Lucas.

Claus: I promise dad. I will become strong enough to protect everyone. Even be able to beat Dragos.

Flint: What are you planning?

-Claus pauses, then runs outside-

Flint: …

-He wipes the apple with his shirt and takes a bite-

*clank*

Flint: Ugh.

-There is a metal file in the apple-

Flint: Oh, Claus….

-Flint picks the lock with the file-

-Flint leaves-

-Duster is outside-

Duster: I…. I can't even think of anything to say. The loss of Hinawa is a great tragedy. I can't say I know how you feel…. Just… If there's anything you need. Anything at all. Just let me know.

Flint: Duster….

Duster: Y- yes?

Flint: Thanks. So do you know where Claus was heading?

Duster: Probably to his mom's grave on the hill. Lucas has been there all morning. Poor boy's heart seems to be in two.

-On the hill-

-Everyone lets Flint pass-

-Lucas is at the base of the grave-

-Flint puts his hand on Lucas's shoulder-

Alec: Flint? Sure has been a while.

Flint: Too long.

Alec: And to think I was having fun with my Grandkids the other day. And now all this. And where is Claus?

Lucas: *Gasp*

Flint: He was supposed to be here with Lucas.

Lucas: Um…

Alec: Is there something you'd like to tell us Lucas?

Lucas: No…

Alec: Is Claus putting himself in danger?

Lucas: Claus is not going to try and fight the Drago that killed mom!

Alec: I see. I see you raised him to not tell lies. Lucas, Why did you not try and stop Claus?!

Lucas: Because, I also want to fight the Drago, but Claus said I couldn't come.

Alec: And that's why you didn't stop him from getting in danger?!

Lucas: I just…

Flint: Easy Alec.

Alec: Sorry. I guess I was being a little too hard on the kid.

-Flint is about to leave-

Alec: Where are you going?

Flint: To get my son back.

Alec: Wait. I know some people. They are a little on the weird side, but they can help us.

Flint: I see. Can you take me to them?

Alec: Sure thing. But first there's a group who'd like to talk to you.

-Flint notices all the people at Hinawa's grave-

Fuel: Go on dad.

Lighter: I'm real sorry about hitting you last night. I acted without thinking.

Flint: No. You made the right call. I'm sorry for attacking all of you.

Abbot: Hey no worries. I'm perfectly fine.

Abbey: He's tougher than he looks.

Ollie: Yeah, none of us are hurt.

Tessie: There isn't a person here who blames you.

Flint: Thank you all.

-Bronson approaches Flint with a knife-

Bronson: You'll need this Flint.

-Hands Flint the knife-

Bronson: I carved the tooth I found into a knife. It should be strong enough to pierce through a Drago's thick scales. You should know what to do with it.

Wess: And well, while were all being gift givers.

-He hands Flint a thunder bomb-

Wess: I have a feeling you might need one of these.

Alec: Well we all have said our goodbyes. It's best if we be off.

-Alec and Flint walk as everyone waves goodbye-

-They're on the road-

Alec: Well my Friends can be a little weird. So be on your guard.

Flint: What do you mean?

-Transition-

-In front of Magypsies's shell-

Flint: I don't want to go in there.

Alec: Come on. They're not that bad. Right this way.

-They enter-

-Flint notices all of them-

-Flint tries to run out-

Alec: Hold it.

Flint: I can't do this!

Alec: Do it for your son!

Flint: I can save him without their help!

-Door slams-

-Flint and Alec are on the couch-

Alec: Let me introduce you to them all. That's Aeolia, Doria, Lydia, Phrygia, Mixolydia, and Ionia. And it appears one is missing.

Aeolia: Locria just goes as he pleases. Now on to the subject at hand.

Flint: Have you seen a young boy. Red hair, striped shirt.

Lydia: Oh yeah him. I sent him off to the Drago plateau. Something about avenging his mom.

Flint: You just sent a boy to fight a Drago on his own?!

Lydia: Why should we care about you humans? You live only a heartbeat in our time. One second you're here and the next you're gone.

Aeolia: And before he left I made sure to teach him a powerful PSI attack. He is able to fight, but I doubt we'd be seeing him again.

Flint: Please tell me how to get to the Drago Plateau.

Micolydia: Why? What's it to us if one of you humans gets themselves killed.

Phrygia: Give you only 100 years and you're gone.

Flint: I won't stand and let you-

Ionia: Settle down Flinty-poo. *wink*

Flint: …

-Flint tries to run away again-

Flint: Get your hands off me!

Alec: Just a little longer!

-Flint is sitting down again-

Ionia: It's true human's lives are short, but that's why they need to spend each second of it with care.

Alec: That's true.

Ioia: So I say we should try to help them. Wouldn't kill us, right darling?

Alec: We would be very grateful for your help, and in return I'd like to- *fart*

-Silence is in the room-

Alec: Show some manners Flint.

Flint: Not the time Alec.

Ioia: There's a cave in the back called Murki Cave. Just go through it and you should reach the Plateau.

Alec: Thank you, and thank you.

-Alec and Flint are about to leave-

Alec: Oh and *fart* that one was me!

-Slams door-

-Silence in the Magypsies's home-

-In Muriki Cave-

-Flint is following Alec-

Flint: Do you know where you are going?

Alec: I'm sure it's around here somewhere, Flinty-poo.

Flint: Don't do that again.

-They're climbing up a ladder-

Alec: Light! We're saved!

-Outside the cave-

Flint: This is the Drago Plateau.

-A baby Drago is moving around-

-Flint approaches it-

-The Drago notices Flint, makes a noise, and runs-

-The Drago drops something-

Flint: This is Claus's shoe.

Alec: Remain calm. Just follow the Baby Drago. It might lead us to Claus.

-The follow-

-Dead end-

Alec: So much for that plan.

-Loud foot steps are heard-

Alec: What could be making such a noise?

-From behind a cliff a Mecha Drago steps out-

Alec: Flint! Show him who the boss is!

-Alec makes a run for it-

-The Metal Drago lets out a roar-

-Flint grips the Drago tooth knife-

-The Drago makes a charge for Flint-

-Flint manages to maneuver around the Drago-

Alec: Keep it up! You have him on the run!

-Flint dodges an attack from the Drago's tail-

-Flint manages to damage its metal leg with a thunder bomb-

-The Drago is unable to move-

Alec: You got him Flint!

-The Drago is preparing to attack-

Flint: That's not good…

-The Drago blows fire-

-Flint is on the ground-

-The fire goes over him-

-Flint charges stabbing the Drago in the Jaw-

-The Drago can no longer fight-

-Alec walks out from his hiding place-

Alec: Is it over?

-The Drago is twitching-

Flint: It'll be over in a second.

-Flint is about to finish the Drago off-

-The baby Drago runs out from nowhere and nuzzles up against the Mecha Drago-

Alec: Look Flint. The poor Drago needs a parent. By killing her, you'd just put the baby though what Claus and Lucas went through.

Flint: This machine is the reason Hinawa is dead!

Alec: No. That's not true. It is all the men in pig masks fault. They are the ones whom started all this. This here Drago is just another one of the innocent victims. Lets' just go home for now. We weren't able to find Claus. He'll show up eventually Flint. He's a tough boy.

-Flint lowers his knife-

Alec: You made the right choice, son.

-They both walk down the mountain-

-Down at the base of the mountain, is Claus lying on the ground, unable to move-

-End of Scene 4-

-End of Chapter 1-
