Chapter 20: Min-Min's Story
(The scene begins with Samus's ship in the hyperspeed tunnel after escaping the destruction of Hyrule. It cuts to the inside of the ship. We see Min-Min and Zelda weeping. Zelda was weeping about her destroyed castle and Min-Min was weeping about something else. Medli was looking around the ship, impressed by the machinery. She approaches Samus.)
Medli: I'm quite impressed by your work on the ship, Mrs. Aran. What kind of Technology is on this ship? It doesn't look like Sheikah tech.
Samus: *Presses buttons on the cockpit* Actually, it's all a fusion of Federation and Chozo technology, and I had it all customized by the Federated Shipyards at Aliehs III but it was designed by me. Then I added a couple of other things to this ship, in case I get guests.
Medli: Lovely work from them. Carry on.
Gloop: Hey, wait. The container! We left the container!
Luke: I have the container! Don't worry! *He takes out the container with Beothric's particles in it. And it was wrapped in Paul's torn sweater.*
Gloop: Thank cod… *Hugs him*
Luke: Uh... Welcome, Gloop.
(Samus activates the communicator in the cockpit.)
Samus: Fox?
Fox: (On the Com) SAMUS! So glad that you're there…. We just got to Zelda's coordinates after repacking on fuel that we need for the jump and when we arrived, the planet wasn't even there anymore!
Link: (In the background/on the com) Is Zelda there?!
Samus: Link, Zelda is alive but she is feeling guilty about something…
Link: (On the Com) Let me talk to her…
Zelda: *Walks up, while Samus gets up and walks back and she taps her chest plate again, making her suit deform, showing her Zero Suit with the jeans jacket.* Link! I'm so sorry! The castle was destroyed! The Divine Beasts turned on us again and became Shadow beasts and I was focusing too much on finding a damn book to defeat Beothric… *Cries* I'm sorry…
Link: (On the Com) Zelda… Zelda… Everything will be alright… What did you dig up?...
Zelda: *Sniffs* T-The Magic Book… The one that I have hidden for years…
Link: (On the Com) That will be a good chance to make the weapon last much longer. I love you, Zelda.
Zelda: Thank you, Link… And I love you too…
(It cuts to Kazooie looking at Zelda while sitting next to Min-Min.)
Kazooie: Great, Samus… A sodding crying elf girl is making out with your ship.
(Samus giggles. Peach sats down and gives her a little bowl of leftover noodles from before.)
Peach: I'm sorry to hear about Naoko… You two were celebrating your fifth anniversary, right?...
Min-Min: We were… Until… *Tears up* That bastard came….
Rosie: What happened, Mindi?...
Min-Min: *Sighs, Looks at Peach* It was the morning after the anniversary…
(The screen flashed white transitioning to a shot of a photo of Min Min in a wedding dress and she was with a man with green swept-back hair in a dark blue suit. The camera moved to Min-Min waking up after her fifth-anniversary party. She was nude, but the blanket covered the private parts. It was early in the morning. She grabs her bra that was laying on the nightstand and puts it on. She smiles as she looks around, seeing the other side of the bed empty. She gets up and puts some underwear on and walks out of the bedroom and sees her husband, Naoko Takahashi. He was also known as Ninjara. He was a Rasen Ninjutsu University graduate. He was a ninja who works part-time at Mintendo Noodle House Shop with Min-Min as a Co-Owner. Naoko was making some breakfast for Mindi. He was shirtless. Min-Min smiled and she snuck up behind him and put her arms around him, He was startled a bit.)
Min-Min: Hehe. Did I scare you, Honey? *Kisses his back*
Ninjara: Heh. Maybe. Haha. Your sneaking skills are getting better, Mindi.
Min-Min: Well. Hehe. I did learn it from a master. *Moans pleasantly* That was a wild night we had wasn't it? Hehe.
Ninjara: *Smiles* Oh, It was amazing, Mindi. *Turns around* You know how to end a day, you naughty noodle girl. *They kissed* I'm almost done cooking our breakfast, Mindi. We have a long workday ahead of us.
Min-Min: Thank you, you naughty ninja. *Holds out a bowl and Ninjara puts some steamed rice, grilled fish, and tsukemono in her bowl and she walks over to the table and kneels on her pillow and sets the bowl down. Ninjara came into the room with his bowl of food and sat down across from her.* The night was pretty wild but it was fun for my first time.
Ninjara: Did it hurt? *gets out some chopsticks for him and Mindi*
Min-Min: It felt weird in the first part. It was hurting a little bit, but it felt so good after that. *gets her chopsticks* How was your side?
Ninjara: It felt good to me and refreshing. I enjoyed our first time.
Min-Min: I love you, Naoko.
Ninjara: I love you too, Mindi.
(They ate their breakfast with the chopsticks. After a while, They washed their bowls in the sink and they went to the bedroom and they got into their chef outfits and they walked out of their apartment. It was revealed that they were living on top of the Mintendo Noodle House Shop. Min-Min flipped a sign around from "CLOSED'' to "OPEN". Min-Min and Ninjara kissed as they set up the shop. They brought out chopsticks, forks, sauces, spices, and placemats. They got out some bowls and put out a drink dispenser on the counter. Min-Min also hung a photograph on a wall, showing Her and Ninjara in wedding clothes with Mt. Fuji in the background. The entrance door opens. It was a retired ARMS fighter, Seiko Fongomu, and a pop star, Reiko Kawasaki. They were known as Spring-Man and Ribbon-Girl individually. They were a married couple. Min-Min notices them.)
Min-Min: Seiko! Reiko! Nice to see our best friends and number one frequenters!
Spring-Man: Heya, Mindi, and Naoko! That was a great party at Fuji-Hakone-Izu!
Ninjara: Hey-Hey! It was! Want your usuals?
Ribbon-Girl: Oh we do! And in the future, make that 3 usuals. Hehe!
Min-Min: Awww! Congratulations, guys!
Ninjara: Baby on the way, eh? How did you guys find out? *Smiles*
Spring-Man: Well, After we got home last night, Reiko got out the meter and check herself and she was confirmed pregnant!
Min-Min: Aww! Pick out a name for her yet?
Ribbon-Girl: Not yet, but we are considering to name it Daiki if it's a boy but if it's a girl, we will name it Yoko.
Min-Min: Lovely names!
(The door opens again. It was Tilda Adeyto, also known as Twintelle, an actress. She was with a Misangan named Maciej Sakurai, also known as Misango. They were engaged. Tilda has sunglasses on.)
Twintelle: Bonjour, Mindi!
Min-Min: Ah, Tilda! Maciej! Welcome! Please sit!
Misango: Thank you, Mindi, and congratulations on the baby, Reiko. I hope he'll be a champion in ARMS. *All four ARMS fighters sit at the counter*
Spring-Man: How did you know?
Twintelle: We heard you through the wall, Seiko.
Spring-Man: Ah.
(The doors open again. It was Masako Fujimura and Kankuro Takeuchi. They were also known as Mechanica and Kid Cobra. They were only newlyweds.)
Kid Cobra: What's up guys! We just got back from our honeymoon just last night and I got 300 more subs from that!
Twintelle: Mon Dieu, Kankuro! You almost gave me a fucking heart attack! But... *Slightly confused* Good Job, I think.
Min-Min: Hey, Kankuro! Masako! How was your honeymoon?
Mechanica: It was so amazing and exciting! I even enjoyed live streaming with Kankuro here! Even we brought custom-made necklaces for you and Naoko! *She got out necklaces of their faces on each heart piece*
Min-Min: They are so beautiful! *Puts one on with Naoko's face on it, smiles*
Ninjara: Well, time to make that 6 usuals! *Begins to make the noodles, Min-Min helps and she puts a necklace on Naoko with Min-Min on it. He smiles. After a while, he served the noodles to the 6 ARMS fighters.* Order up!
Misango: Thank you very much, Naoko *The fighters started eating.*
Min-Min: Hey, Where's the others?
Spring-Man: Last time I heard, Max Brass is still on vacation after retirement, Lola Pop was entertaining some kids outside our home, Byte is still helping the police force with Barq, and god knows where Dr. Coyle, Master Mummy, Spring-Tron, and Helix are. No news, phone calls, or any Emails from them.
Ninjara: That's weird…
Misango: The last time I heard from Max was when he was trying to train his son, Knuckle Brass.
Spring-Man: I feel sorry for him. He has always been made fun of because of his name.
Twintelle: And made him lose 5 matches.
Misango: That poor kid… Good thing that he didn't end up like Hammer-head. That guy lost like 20 matches before giving up.
Spring-Man: Yeah and he calls himself "The best ARMS fighter" Pah! He couldn't even defeat Helix! That dude is like slime and Hammer got boiled!
(The ARMS fighters laughed.)
Misango: How was your night after the party?
Ninjara: Well, been so wild but so nice!
Twintelle: I remember my first time, "Having a night" Haha!
Min-Min: Was it good?
Misango: Um… *Blushes* Haha! We rather not tell. Haha XD
Mechanica: Oh shit! I'm sorry that we didn't show up! I guess the necklaces will work as a gift.
Min-Min: It's okay, Masako! And I considered them a gift!
Mechanica: Thank you, Mindi!
Twintelle: Excuse me, Could you turn on the telly? *Gets out a lipstick and uses it* I want to know the weather for later. I have an audition soon for a film called "L'homme et le visage horrible".
Min-Min: Sounds like a lovely film! *Turns on the TV, It shows the news.*
Female News Anchor: こんにちは。私たちは、この正体不明の生き物が地球に向かっていると私たちに告げる信頼できる情報源から聞いた。
これが敵対的か友好的かはわかりません。敵対的である場合は、エイリアンの脅威とのコミュニケーション方法を見つけるまで、室内に留まるように警告します。これは、ソースから受け取った画像です。品質が非常に悪い場合はお詫び申し上げます。(Good Afternoon. We heard from a reliable source that tells us that there is this unidentified creature heading towards Earth.
We do not know if this is hostile or friendly. If it's hostile, we will warn people to stay indoors until we find out how to communicate with the alien threat. This is the picture that we received from the source. We apologize if it looks very bad in quality.)
(The news showed a blurry and distorted picture of Beothric coming closer to earth. The fighters were shocked in fear about what they saw.)
Spring-Man: I-I'm sure that was just a hoax. Hahaha.
Min-Min: Not sure. They were pretty scared about it….
Kid Cobra: Hey, Mindi! Did you disable the Wi-Fi?
Min-Min: No, The Wi-Fi was always on…
Mechanica: Then what's going on?...
(Outside the shop, Trash cans were falling over, Cars were crashing, People were running in fear. The shop lights shut off. Min-Min saw and then she tore off her chef outfit and hat, revealing her fighting uniform underneath and she put on her wool hat and mask. She jumps over the counter.)
Min-Min: Let's go!
Ninjara: Good thing that you told me!
(The other ARMS fighters tore off their outfits, showing their Fighting uniforms and putting on their masks. They all rushed outside. They saw the people running from something. The sky was an eclipsed-color sky.)
Ribbon-Girl: What the hell is happening?!
(The fighters ran around a corner to a street with totaled cars. People were still running. Dark purple appeared in the sky and they swirled revealing Beothric laughing. The ARMS fighters looked in fear. A truck drove by them. The truck had a giant missile launcher and a human-sized cannon on the back. They were being operated by Master Mummy. The driver's side window went down. It was Dr. Coyle. She was driving the truck. Spring-Tron was with her.)
Dr. Coyle: Good afternoon, friends!
Spring-Man: Coyle, Who the hell is that in the sky?!
Dr. Coyle: Beats me. I tried researching but nothing. Just a couple of articles of the Mushroom Kingdom being decimated by this.
Min-Min: Did it say anything about the royal family?!
Dr. Coyle: They said that they are safe because they were picked up by the Star Fox crew.
Min-Min: Thank god…
Dr. Coyle: Oh and congrats on the anniversary.
Min-Min: Thank you, Coyle.
Dr. Coyle: *Turns to Mechanica* And congrats on the wedding. Give my respects. Now! Everybody stand back!
(The guns on the back rose towards Beothric. They were aiming at him. Spring-Tron gives the signal. Master Mummy presses a button and it launches missiles and surprisingly Helix as he is flying towards him fist first. Beothric looks at the missiles and Helix flying at him blankly. He takes a deep breath. His third eye opened and he fired his laser at Helix and the missiles, destroying them. Beothric looked at the fighters.)
Beothric: Well. That gives a whole new meaning to "Throwing arms" and really? Only one fucking freak knows how to fight back in this universe? I just destroyed an entire fleet of soldiers of animals while in this universe there is this pointless prick throwing arms at me.
Mr. Coyle: WELL! I TRIED!
Beothric: Anyway…. Where was I? Oh yeah. My dear friends... I, Beothric, Now have declared that your time of the old is up. Now. It's time for the new to replace the old. I hope you live your new life. Not even your… *Sigh* stupid arms… Alright, let's just get this fucking universe done and over with…
Min-Min: COME ON! LET'S GO!
(The ARMS fighters ran towards Beothric as his face was swirling. The Fighters made their arms stretched out. Min-Min teleports in a flash of white from the universe. The other fighters stopped.)
Ninjara: MIN-MIN?! WHERE DID SHE GO?! SHE DISAPPEARED! WHO TOOK HER?!
Dr. Coyle: I didn't do it!
Twintelle: Someone did!
(Beothric starts to devour the planet. Dust clouds swallowed the ARMS Fighters, transitioning to a shot of the Great Plateau in Hyrule. Min-Min appeared in a flash of white as she tries to stop running. It was night time. She almost went off the cliff.)
Min-Min: Woah! *Gets back on* Whew… Where am I?... This place looks familiar… *Turns around and sees the ruined Temple of Time. Her arms turned back and she went into the temple. She sees holes in the ceiling, torn up banners, plants growing through the concrete, and the windows were smashed up.* What is this place?... Is this… Hyrule?... It looks like it… *Grabs one of the torn banners and lights a fire in the middle using wood from the fallen trees in the temple. She lays down on the cold concrete and she looks up at the starry sky through the hole in the roof. She tears up* I love you, Naoko….
(She turns over and sleeps. The next morning, She awakes to the sunlight beaming down on her. She rubs her face and turns over and sees Master Hand snoozing across from her. She screamed, waking up Master Hand.)
Master Hand: Huh?! What?! Oh, sorry!
Min-Min: PEACH TOLD ME ABOUT YOU!
(Min-Min's left arm extends and her fist changes into the Megawatt and she throws a punch to Master Hand but he catches it.)
Master Hand: Woah! Woah! Woah! Hold on! I'm not gonna destroy people! *Throws the Megawatt back to Min-Min.* I'm just only here to help! Just come outside and I'll explain…
Min-Min: O-Okay…. *Her arms turned back to normal*
(Master Hand and Min-Min walked outside from the Temple of Time where they saw Hyrule Castle surrounded with Dark-shadow clouds in the distance.)
Master Hand: You see that?... That's Beothric's doing… I had you teleported here so you have to meet up with the other fighters…
Min-Min: Is my husband okay?...
Master Hand: I'm afraid not… Beothric killed them…
Min-Min: *Gets into a mix of emotions. Sad and angry.* God… What can we do?... And… Why did you bring me here?...
Master Hand: Cause I wanna defeat Beothric… Like you… For killing people… You see… He wants to create his universe and have everyone live new lives. Horrible lives. Like dystopian-level lives. He wants to have everyone in his world. He wants to rule everyone. He doesn't want to rule every planet. He wants to rule them all at once. Casualties are a thing for him if they don't cooperate. They weren't like him. He only wants them to fight each other in many wars in his new universe. Everything is a game to him. He thinks life is just lost. He only wants a war to be happy to cover his anger. Some people who I have known and created many years ago have lost their families and other loved ones to Beothric and cause me to have painful memories of Mario, whom I saved 15 years ago...
Min-Min: Mario?... But… What happened?... He seemed alright when I met him…
Master Hand: Sacrifice then resurrection… but none of that matters now… You have to wait till the fighters get here and get to you…
Min-Min: Where can I wait?...
Master Hand: Possibly in the Temple… I have to go! I can't let the shadow Ganons see me!
Min-Min: Thank you, Master Hand!
(Master Hand disappears and Min-Min ran inside. She waits for a while. She goes to the little platform by the ruined roof. She sits and weeps because she heard that she lost her husband. She hears a plane-like sound from the hole in the roof. It went by her. She waits for another while. She whistles to a song. Another plane-like sound went by her. She stood up. She heard voices in the distance. It cuts to the doors. The Fighters entered through the battered doors and they walked into the temple, looking around for a person. It cuts to Samus looking around but walks off-screen. It then shows Min-Min in the shadows running quietly to the other side of the little deck by the ceiling. The fighters heard something but they looked around. It cuts to Samus' face as it can be seen behind the glass. She looked suspicious at the Min-Min. She realized who it was.)
Samus: GET BACK EVERYONE!
(Min-Min got scared and her arms lengthen and she screams as she lunges at the fighters. The scene flashed white transitioning to Min-Min drinking the last of the leftover noodles. The other fighters watched. Min-Min tears up.)
Min-Min: I'm sorry… I want to kill Beothric… All of us do… So… I'm guessing that the canister of those particles and the book is used for a weapon I assume?...
Peach: They are…
Zelda: Wait… Master Hand? Excuse me?...
R.O.B: Who's Master Hand?...
Mr. Game and Watch: I know who he is… He's been an enemy to all of us for many years. He controlled us, He created us, and he even tried to turn R.O.B here against us and now he's wanting to help us?...
Peach: He's in Mario, Gatch. Half of him is… You heard my speech… He helped Mario… I told Mindi this…
Olimar: So… He's been helping Mario for the past fifteen years?...
Kirby: Poyo... (It sounds like it…)
Peach: It does…
Kazooie: Well, I guess that Motzand ripoff had a change of heart, right?...
(The fighters looked at Kazooie. Min-Min took a deep breath.)
Min-Min: Where to now?...
Samus: Popstar.
(The scene ends with Samus's ship arriving at Popstar after going through the Hyperspeed tunnel.)
