Chapter 18: The Long ARM of Hyrule
(The scene begins with Samus' Ar-Carrier arriving at Hyrule Fields. The ship landed on the plateau, Just outside the Shrine of Resurrection. The fighters came out of the ship and ran upwards on the hill.)
Samus: They send me a message saying that they will meet us at the top of the Great Plateau Tower.
Gloop: Do we even know what it looks like?
Peach: It should look like a big tower made out of sticks and has a blue glow around it. It should be a few miles from the ruined Temple of Time.
Gloop: You sure know this place well.
Peach: Well, Knowing Link is going to be a part of the family in the future, I might as well know this place in my travels with Mario.
Gloop: I see.
Marcus: Is that the tower over there? *Points to a blue-glowing tall tower with rocks on the side.*
Snake: That tower's tall, but I don't see steps.
Peach: The only way to get up there is climbing.
Samus: Wait! *Holds her arm out* I spot something on my monitor…
Mega Man: What do you see, Samus?...
Samus: Someone is hiding inside the Temple of Time… and my monitor isn't picking up who it is…
Rosalina: Let's go in and find out… Come on!
(The fighters raced into the temple. It cuts inside the temple. It was all ruined. Holes in the ceiling, torn up banners, plants growing through the concrete, and windows were smashed up. The Fighters entered through the battered doors and they walked into the temple, looking around for the person. It cuts to Samus looking around but walks off-screen. It then shows a figure in the shadows running quietly to the other side of the little deck by the ceiling. The fighters heard something but they look around. It cuts to Samus' face as it can be seen behind the glass. She looked suspicious at the shadow figure. She realized who it was.)
Samus: GET BACK EVERYONE!
(The figure's arms lengthen and the figure jumped at the fighters, She was wearing an orange beanie shaped like an upside-down ramen bowl, an orange athletic shirt, orange athletic shorts, black calf-length leggings, and green sneakers. Her arms were super long while one arm was looking like noodles while one looked like a dragon with a dragon head at the end of it. She was very angry and was about to collide with the other fighters. She was screaming for blood. But Samus shot some electric bolas around her and shocked her, She screamed while she went face-first into the concrete. She looked up, her head was bleeding over her mask. She saw Peach coming up to her with a tennis racket and when she was about to hit her, Samus grabbed Peach's hand.)
Samus: Peach! What the fuck are you doing?! This is not a shadow…
Peach: She tried to attack us!
?: Because I thought you were with that Beothric asshole and I wanted to attack you…
Peach: *Realizes who it was.* Min-Min?...
Min-Min: *Puts herself up* Peach? Samus? God, I'm so completely sorry… I thought you were one of them…
Peach: It's okay, Min. We almost thought you were one of them too…
Samus: *Getting the bolas off Min-Min* Sorry, My suit didn't know you. Must've been a glitch.
Min-Min: It's okay… *Her arms formed back to normal and her big dragon head and big fist turned to normal human hands.* There we go… Anyway… So, Why are you here?
Rosalina: We're trying to find Zelda and the others, and they told us to meet at the Great Plateau Tower.
Peach: Min Min, How did you get here?...
Min-Min: I got teleported here…
Gloop: Wait, Wait… You three know each other?
Peach: Oh, We always spend a ladies' night together. We met her during a fighting tour with the ARMS institute. Me and Mario, being a royal family, we got to see her before and after the fight.
Min-Min: And I remember Luke having a little crush on me *Giggles*
Samus: And after that little meeting, Peach usually call us up and we just meet somewhere to run away from our Boyfriends/Husbands for a bit and we usually hang out in her universe, mines, or Peach's
Min-Min: We also talk about some stuff in our personal life.
Gloop: I see. Fair enough.
Min-Min: Wait, Is that the big tower just outside, The Great Plateau tower?
Peach: It is.
Min-Min: So, They are up there?
Peach: Yes.
Min-Min: Let's go then!
(The fighters walked out the doors. It cuts to a view of two dark blue fish-eye lenses with electric grids around it. An electric circle with a nose is in the corner. It was moving around.)
Mr. Game and Watch: See anything, R.O.B?
R.O.B: Not yet. Just a few animals.
Mr. Game and Watch: Well, Stop bird-watching and keep an eye out.
(It pans behind them to Zelda putting in her sheikah slate into a Guidance Stone, It activates the stone. It glowed blue. Kirby, Lucas, Kazooie, and Olimar came around her.)
Zelda: We can use this for finding out what items we can use. The bad side of this, Most of the items are in the castle.
Lucas: So we have to take the castle back if we want to find the items in there.
(It cuts to Kazooie cranking her neck back and starts looking at Zelda's rear. She then looks at the camera.)
Kazooie: *Quietly* It's not that big…
(It then cuts to Zelda looking at the slate. She scrolls through what items to use.)
Zelda: Found one that we can use! But… The sad thing is… It's in the castle…
Kazooie: Oh dear.
(It cuts to Min-Min, Samus, Mega Man, Snake, Rosalina, Luma, Gloop, Marcus, and Peach on the ground level by the tower.)
Samus: How do we get up?
Min-Min: Allow me. Can someone hold on to my hand?
Luma: Me! *Grabs on tightly to her hand*
Min-Min: Thank you! *She ran up the tower wall midway and jumps and uses her other arm to grab the entrance of the tower.* Climb up! Just watch my head and Wool hat!
Gloop: Ladies first. *Holds his hand out*
Peach: Thank you, Gloop.
(Peach and Rosalina climb up Min-Min's arm.)
Samus: Hold on. *Taps her chest on the left, Her suit deforms to reveal Samus in her Zero Suit with a street jacket over it.* Don't want to weigh her down.
(Samus then climbs up Min-Min. Mega Man, Snake, Marcus, and Gloop followed suit. Mega Man was climbing behind Samus and he took a glimpse at her rear and he looked the other way, blushing while climbing. It cuts to Zelda and her team looking at the guidance stone. R.O.B. is still looking around the tower.)
Mr. Game and Watch: Are you sure you've been looking off all the sides?
R.O.B: Well, I wasn't sure if they came down the other way.
Mr. Game and Watch: Yeah, They're gonna need to fix your head.
(It cuts to the ground level again. It was a little far from the tower. A shadow beast with a claw came into frame. It gripped the ground and ran back. It cuts to Zelda and the other fighters looking at the stone to come up with a strategy to get past all of the Ganons and Ganondorfs. It then cuts to a hand grabbing the ledge of the Tower entrance. Kazooie turns to see the hand. She tugs on Zelda's dress.)
Kazooie: Your highness?
Zelda: *Turns* Yes, Kazo-
(Zelda notices another hand coming up from below the entrance. Zelda's hands shined with Magic. She was ready to fight for what's coming. Peach came up the tower.)
Peach: Zelda?
Zelda: Peach? How did you make it up here?...
Peach: *Climbs up* We had some help climbing up here.
(Zelda's team turns around and sees the other fighters climbing up on to the tower and R.O.B turns around from looking off the tower.)
R.O.B: Oh, there they are! *Gets a sudden electric shock* Ow!
Mr. Game and Watch: Idiot.
(It cuts to Min-Min pulling Luma up from the ground level.)
Min-Min: Come on little fella!
Luma: Thank you, Lady! *He turns back and sees thirty different Shadow Bokoblins, Lizalfos, and Moblins coming towards the tower* Oh oh! *Climbs up quickly*
Min-Min: *Looks* Oh dear!
(She launches herself up onto the top of the tower.)
Min-Min: WOAHHHHH!
(Min-Min landed on the top of the tower. Her arms turned back.)
Min-Min: Sorry about that, Zelda! But you might wanna try to find a way to get off this tower!
Zelda: Min Min? What are you doing here?...
Min-Min: Got teleported here…
Kazooie: Who's She?
R.O.B: Looks like a blonde female Michael Nesmith.
Kazooie: You're way stuck in the past, Mate.
Mr. Game and Watch: That's what I just said!
Zelda: And Why do you want us to get off the tower?
(Just then, The tower started to shake, Everyone stumbled.)
Olimar: What was that!?
Luma: Those monsters!
(It cuts to the beasts as they tear the bottom of the tower apart. Zelda, Olimar, Peach, Kazooie, Min-Min, Samus, Snake, Rosalina, Mega Man looked at the destruction below.)
Zelda: Oh no… Link's going to be very upset…
(Zelda stood up and walks over to the guidance stone.)
Zelda: This is the only way to find that item...
(Zelda grabs the Sheikah Slate from the stone.)
Peach: What item?...
Zelda: It's a- AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!
(The tower gets pushed and it fell. All the blue lights around it started to go black. While it was falling, The fighters were grabbing on the ledge of the tower, but some of them were grabbing the other fighters. They were screaming for life. The tower then stopped on the edge, but it was leaning off the cliff. Min-Min then gets an idea and she jumps to the lower edge and she stretches her arms to grab a hold of the rocky cliffside. Her wool hat fell off her head while she tried cranking up the tower using her only strength. She was grunting and screaming. She was trying to get the tower back on the cliff. Samus looks over to her as she's doing her best but she looks back, only seeing a shadow version of a Guardian aiming right at the tower. She was very scared.)
Samus: MIN-MIN! LET GO!
Min-Min: *Opens her eyes, Sees the Guardian looking right at the tower.* Uh oh… JUMP!
(All of the fighters jumped off, Olimar used one of his Winged Pikmin, Mega Man and Samus jet boosts away, Zelda teleported off, Peach used his umbrella, Kazooie flew off, but she stopped in mid-air, squawks and falls to the ground, she yelps. R.O.B jets off the tower, Lucas flies off, Rosalina, Luma, and Snake use a launch star to propel themselves, Gloop turns into a blooping and jumps off, Kirby floats upward, and Marcus uses a mini jet pack and flies on to the ground. Min-Min was about to jump off but the Shadow Guardian fired its laser at the tower, Blowing it up, causing her to go unconscious. She landed hard on the ground. Her outfit was torn up, arms were tangled, and she was bleeding. Zelda ran to her.)
Zelda: Min-Min! Can you hear me?!
Samus: She's still alive! We just need to take her somewhere!
Kirby: Poyo? (Where?)
Zelda: I know a place. But it's very far from here. The Zoras are known to be great healers. They might heal Min-Min.
Gloop: Where can we find them?
Zelda: Zora's Domain in Lanayru Region. They are good friends, don't worry. We fight alongside each other.
Peach: *Carries the unconscious Min-Min* But… How can we get there?...
Zelda: Remember we asked you about lending us those tires when Link and I were in that race of yours?
Peach: Yes, Why?...
Zelda: Me, Link, and a few others made something for us to get around when Epona was sick. We used tech from the Sheikah that we used for the vehicle along with secret ancient tech we managed to find with the Gorons. We then use that to make other uses of tech we can think of. Transportation, More Machines, Et cetera. So, when Link and I approached the Gorons, we wished to have an alternative way if Epona passed on or got sick. So, we made this…
(Zelda got out her Sheikah slate and activated something on it. This caused a Truck-like object to spawn. It was looking very mechanical but with a wooden truck bed. It also has a Tri-Force hood ornament. Zelda stepped in front of the truck.)
Zelda: This is what we call a Crawler. Nice, isn't it? Raven wanted a Rover for him and Rosie but he- *Covers her mouth* Whoops! I almost ruined the surprise, did I? *Giggles*
Kazooie: A Crawler? This is more of a truck!
Zelda: You can call it whatever you want, Kazooie. Now, Peach, cover Min-Min with a blanket in the back, don't want anyone to see her and think that I killed her.
Peach: Understood. *Puts her into the truck bed and puts a blanket around her.*
Zelda Good enough. Everyone, get into the crawler, I already set the destination to Zora's Domain.
(The fighters get into the Crawler. Samus, Peach, Mega Man, Kazooie, Gloop, Kirby, and Lucas get in the bed, Zelda gets into the driver seat, and Snake, Rosalina, Luma, Olimar, and Marcus get in the front and back seats. R.O.B. Mounted himself onto the top of the Crawler. They drove off. It cuts to the Shadow Bokoblins, Lizalfos, Guardians, and Moblins looking at the truck while it drives away, they retreat on to the cliff. They saw the Ar-Carrier that was by the Shrine. The Shadow creatures head towards it. It cuts to the Crawler's bed with Samus, Peach, Mega Man, Kazooie, Gloop, Kirby, and Lucas in the bed.)
Lucas: You didn't seem too bright with Zelda's er… Crawler, Kazooie.
Kazooie: Oh come on… A floating computer monitor with a robe stripped all my moves and gave me a fucking wrench for fixing a god damn shopping trolley…
Gloop: It must have been hard…
Kazooie: It pissed me and Banjo off the most... Ugh… Anyway…..
(Kazooie puts on her headphones and turns on her MP3 player. It played "The Sign" by Ace of Base and Kazooie looked around. Peach looked to her side, worrying. It cuts to inside the Ar-Carrier. Paul was looking out the window watching for enemies coming their way. Rosie was weeping in the corner of the ship with her Luma plush. Luke walked over.)
Luke: Rosie… Are you okay?...
Rosie: I-It's daddy…
Luke: Papa Mario?...
Rosie: Yes… It's just… Mommy told me that he died but resurrected… Before… We were born…. D-did you two know?...
Luke: They told me and Paul before you were born…
Rosie: What was your feeling?...
Luke: I was scared and worried about Papa… I do not want to lose him again…
Rosie: *Cries more* I'm scared about losing him too….
Luke: Rosie… *Hugs her* I'll be here… You're our baby sister… And… We know how you feel like our Mama, But...In times like these… We need to grow up… All of us… If Papa dies… We need to be in charge… You know, Rosie… I'm not trying to say something bad… I was just saying that you need to stand up-
Paul: LUKE! THEY ARE COMING!
Luke: They are?!
Paul: Just look!
(Paul ran up to the window and they saw the Shadow Bokoblins, Lizalfos, Guardians, and Moblins just outside the ship. Luke went over to the cockpit. He found some blasters underneath. The shadow creatures try to tear open the ship.)
Paul: Since when you know those were there?!
Luke: I found them since mum left! *Glass broke behind them.* Oh, dear!
Paul: What can we do!?
(The creatures tore the doors off the ship. Luke and Paul fired their blasters at the Shadow beasts. The Shadow Beasts moved the ship towards the cliff.)
Paul: WHAT ARE THEY DOING?!
Luke: THEY ARE TRYING TO PUSH US OFF!
(The Creatures continue to attack them, but Paul and Luke fought them off. Rosie looked at her brothers as they fought off the creatures. A Shadow beast grabbed Paul's arm with the blaster and they tore off Paul's sweater sleeve and took his blaster. Luke ran out of energy in his blaster and throws it at the creatures. The ship was still getting . Rosie stood up, stops weeping and she tossed her Luma plush and unties her hair making her hair fall. She walked up to her brothers and her hands her glowing fire-like. Luke looked at her and Rosie clenches her fists and her fists lit on fire and she punched some of the Shadow Beasts. Rosie looks at Luke.)
Rosie: You're right, Luke… It's time to grow up…
Luke: How did you do that?!
Rosie: I had this power for years. I kept it a secret!
Luke: You never told Papa or Mama?...
Rosie: It wasn't the right time!
(The Shadow beasts went on to their plan and started to push over the ship off the edge. Paul grabbed the cockpit seat hard. Luke tries to turn on the ship but it wouldn't start.)
Luke: I CAN'T START THE SHIP!
Paul: WHAT DID THEY DO?!
Luke: THEY TORN OUT THE ENGINES!
Paul: WHAT CAN WE DO NOW?!
Rosie: Come around me now!
Paul WHAT?!
Rosie: JUST TRUST ME!
(The Shadow beasts pushed the Ar-Carrier off the cliff and it fell. It cut to the ground and it crashed into the ground and it blew up. The Beasts then retreated on the plateau. It cuts back to the fiery destruction of the Ar-Carrier. Some of the fire and the smoke cleared, showing Rosie, Paul, and Luke in a fire shield that was being held up by Rosie. The Shield disappeared.)
Luke: We're alive!
Paul: Yay! Woo! Haha!
Rosie: *Looks around at the destroyed Ar-Carrier, She saw her Luma plush but it was torn and burnt. She tosses it again and she steps forward and looks at the ruined Hyrule castle that was far.* We need to go…
Paul: But what about Mama?...
Rosie: We need to grow up, damn it! You told me, Luke! Our Mommy and Daddy lost their friends and it's up to us to help them and it up to us to take care of them and if daddy dies again… It's up to us to be in charge…
Luke: *Surprised at what he heard* You're right, Rosie… We need to help Mama and Papa…
Rosie: Let's go then… Come on!
(The kids ran out of the destruction and into Hyrule fields. The scene ended with them running towards Hyrule Castle to help fight the Ganons and Ganondorfs.)
