"Queen Beryl!" yelled Jadeite. "I found a new source of energy!"
"Ok, Jadeite," said Beryl. "Let's hear."
Suddenly Nephrite burst through the doors. "Rev up that ball, cuz I am sure ready!" said Nephrite. "To get some energy!"
"Nephrite," said Beryl coldly. "Do you think you own this place?"
Nephrite shrugged. "Do you?"
"Yes I do," said Beryl. "At least until Metalia wakes up."
"What a sad fate," said Nephrite. "Being a queen but having a greater queen."
"Shut up," said Beryl. "What's with that attitude today?"
Nephrite shrugged. "I just wanted you to rev up that ball. No harm done m'lady."
"That's such a great phrase," said Jadeite, astounded. "Mind if I take it?"
"Yes," said Nephrite. "Please do not."
"I've already taken it," said Jadeite sadly.
"No," said Nephrite desperately. "I worked a long time on that."
Jadeite hung his head. "My hands are tied," he explained.
Nephrite was mad. Nephrite was furious.
He threw a wild punch, shattering the ground.
Jadeite nose-dived into a portal, but Beryl wasn't so lucky.
Her and her throne sunk through the ground, and she was never seen again.
Nephrite was still mad.
He teleported into Kunzite's castle.
Kunzite and Zoisite were in the middle of dinner.
Nephrite threw a punch into Zoisite's throat, and Zoisite was no more after a painful gagging death.
"Hey!" screamed Kunzite. "You're gonna pay for that!"
Nephrite realized his mistake, and tried to run.
But Kunzite ended him.
"What the hell?!" said Kunzite. "Honestly?!"
Motoki and his sister admired the grand opening of their American-style fast food joint.
"Beautiful," said Motoki. "We'll call it McCrown Boys."
"Great idea," said Motoki's sister. "Hopefully those Negascum don't crash this place."
They opened the doors and waited eagerly for business.
20 minutes later, Jadeite in a costume walked in.
"Rev up those fryers, cuz I am sure hungry!"
"Heh heh," said Motoki. "I'm on it!"
Motoki revved up those fryers, enthusiastic about his first ever customer.
Jadeite ate his burger.
"Not bad," he said. "Thank you, young man."
Jadeite left.
"What an enthusiastic guy," said Motoki. "But maybe a bit too insensitive. It's not polite to walk into one's restaurant and say, 'Rev up those fryers, cuz I am sure hungry!' like he owns the place."
"Motoki-chan," said Motoki's sister. "You always get too hung up on these things. I did not take it that way. I thought he was just happy to be here, and was just goofing around."
"It's not funny," said Motoki. "It's not funny at all."
Motoki opened up shop the next day, at the same exact time.
"A new day," said Motoki hopefully.
"Rev up those fryers," called a voice. "Cuz I am sure hungry!"
Jadeite walked in.
"Heh heh, come on now," said Motoki. "No joke is funny twice."
"Heh heh," said Jadeite. "I liked it."
Motoki went to the back and started grilling the burgers.
"Curse my politeness," he said. "Darn you, Motoki! You should have told that man off!"
Motoki handed him the burgers. "Here you go, my boy!" he said.
"Hey," said Jadeite. "What was that look?"
"Huh?" said Motoki. "You must be imagining things. I am known for my optimism."
"Alright," said Jadeite. "I guess I was."
Jadeite finished the burger and exited the establishment. "Thanks," he said.
Motoki hung his head sadly, and Motoki's sister put her hand on his shoulder.
"Why are you so upset?" she said.
"It's that guy," said Motoki. "He returned…"
"Don't worry," said Motoki's sister. "He probably won't come back tomorrow."
"I sure hope so," said Motoki.
"Do you want me to handle the store tomorrow, if he bothers you so much?" asked Motoki's sister.
"No," said Motoki. "I'm a man."
"Okay…." said his sister hesitantly.
"Rev up those-"
"FRYERS!" screamed Motoki, with such a huge grin it was obviously fake.
"You're right," said Jadeite. "Cuz I am sure hungry!"
"GOOD ONE!" chuckled Motoki.
He didn't stop chuckling for ten minutes, and it was kind of scary.
He handed Jadeite the food still chuckling.
"Ty," said Jadeite.
"NNNNNNNNNNNNPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!" shouted Motoki as loud as he could.
The next day…
"Rev up those fryers!" called Jed.
Motoki slammed his fist into a wall, causing great damage to himself.
"Because I am sure hungry!" finished Jadeite.
"AHAHHAHAHA!" screamed Motoki, heading into the dining room.
He was breathing very quickly and had to take a slow exhale.
Motoki's sister walked in to see Motoki fuming while frying a burger.
"Come on now," said Sis. "Why does this guy make you so mad? He is a loyal customer, and probably just trying to be friendly!"
"I don't know," admitted Motoki. "But for some reason, it just annoys me to no end. I'm not sure why."
Motoki's sister frowned. "Do you want me to go talk to the guy?"
"No, don't," said Motoki. "I can't let him know I'm bothered by it."
"Alright," said Motoki's sister. "I won't."
Motoki's sister walked up to Jed.
"Need anything?" she said.
"No," said Jed. "Just the burger."
"Hmm," said Motoki's sister. "Listen. My brother… he's been getting very upset by what you say every morning when you come in. What was it again? 'Rev up the grill?'"
"No no," said Jadeite. "It was, 'Rev up those fryers, cuz I am sure hungry!'"
"Yeah, that," said Motoki's sister. "Can you please refrain from saying that? I don't personally mind, and I know you're just trying to be friendly, but my brother is right now very mad about that line. So let's just give it a break for a couple days, huh?"
"Ah," said Jadeite. "I understand. Say no more."
"I'm glad you understand," said Motoki's sister. "Sorry for the drama."
"np," replied Jadeite.
He finished his burger, bowed, and left.
"Rev up those fryers, cuz I am sure hungry!" called Jadeite. "Oops," said Jadeite to himself. "That one girl told me not to say that. Oh well, maybe she's not here today."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed Motoki from the kitchen. "Come on now! WHHUAYYYY?!"
"Yikes," thought Jadeite.
Motoki's sister appeared.
"Listen, pal," she said. "What did I say to you yesterday?"
"Hmm," said Jadeite. "I don't recall. Did I mess up?"
"You messed up big time," said Motoki's sis. "If you don't cut that out, we won't serve you anymore. Got it?"
"Alright," said Jadeite. "I understand. I goofed up. It won't happen again."
"It better not," said Motoki's sister.
That's when Motoki appeared with Jadeite's burger.
He slammed it down on the table.
"Hello," said Jadeite. "Sorry."
"Shut up," said Motoki.
"Say," said Jadeite. "Why do you get so mad at the phrase?"
"That's none of your business," said Motoki.
He stormed off, and took the rest of the day off.
"Odd guy," said Jadeite, eating the burger.
Motoki was looking at the clock. It was 20 minutes past that rude costumer's ordinary appearance time.
"Maybe he won't come today!" said Motoki, really hopefully.
"I hope so," said Motoki's sister. "But don't worry. I talked to him for you."
"NoooooOOO!" said Motoki. "Now he's just gonna start doing it on purpose!"
"He would never do that," said Motoki's sister. "I have faith in humanity."
Suddenly Jadeite walked in.
"Sorry for the hold up," he said. "I got caught in traffic."
He sat down in his chair, without uttering a word.
A smile appeared across Motoki's face.
But that's when Jadeite yelled, "Rev up those fryers, cuz I am sure hungry!"
That's when Motoki lost all control.
He pulled out the fry pan full of boiling oil, and threw it at Jadeite.
Jadeite narrowly dodged, but the chair was no more.
"Hey!" said Jadeite. "What was that for?! Don't make me toss a sue!"
"I'll rev up those fryers!" said Motoki.
"Good," said Jed.
"On YOUR CORPSE?!" shouted Motoki.
He turned the fryer all the way up, and it exploded.
Jadeite was sweating. "I'll take my leave," he said.
He took off.
"This isn't good," thought Jadeite.
"Rev up those fryboys, cuz I am sure hungry!" screamed Jadeite at the top of his lungs the very next morning.
"No," said Motoki's sister.
"What do you mean?!" demanded Jadeite.
"I mean, no!" screamed Motoki's sister. "I will not serve you."
"Hmmm," said Jadeite. "Will your brother?"
"No," said Motoki's sister. "He's taking the day off."
"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm," said Jadeite. "What about that orange man?"
"He's running the arcade," said Motoki's sister.
"Can he serve me?" asked Jadeite.
Motoki's sister shook her head.
"Can I serve myself?" said Jadeite.
"No," said Motoki's sister. "Get out!"
"Alright," said Jadeite. "What if I got someone in here? Will you serve them and let them serve it to me? You won't directly be serving me, so it's fine, right?!"
Motoki's sister threw herself at Jadeite.
Jadeite ran for his life as she collided with the table, shattering her spine.
"Wow," said Jadeite. "Crazy."
The next day, Motoki showed up to work.
"I think I ran him off," said Motoki's sister in a stretcher.
"Good," said Motoki. "Finally we can enjoy life again."
Suddenly a jamboree walked in.
"Rev up those fryers," they chanted. "Because we are sure hungry!"
"Who are you?!" screamed Motoki. "Are you some kind of cult set out to ruin my life?!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" he screamed, getting really mad.
That's when Kenji, who was in the back, ran up and stared throwing punches at Motoki.
Motoki doubled over in pain, and Kenji leapt up and threw an overhead mallet punch.
Motoki's sister took the hit, dying.
Kenji leapt back. He took off his belt and came swinging.
But Motoki caught it after 2 misses, and tried to snap Kenji's neck.
But Kenji clung to life, and kicked Motoki in the foot and then grabbed him by the head and threw him to the ground.
Kenji leapt into the air and came in for the piledriver, but Motoki caught his elbow inches from his own face, and threw him into the fryers.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!" laughed Motoki deviously. "Rev up those fryers, cuz I am sure HUNGRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"
Despite Motoki's mania, the Shitennou sat down calmly at a table.
"Rev up those fryers!" called Zoisite.
Motoki threw himself at the table, and then picked it up, swinging it and hitting Zoisite in the head, killing him.
Kunzite threw a punch to Motoki's stomach, finishing him off.
"Well, all's well that ends well," supposed Nephrite.
Suddenly a mysterious figure entered the fray.
"Is that Motoki's mom?" asked Jadeite in horror.
And it was.
She threw a punch and the shockwave flew wildly, missing Nephrite by an inch.
She leapt into the air and threw a grandslam, and the Shitennou scattered.
That's when she appeared behind Nephrite, and Nephrite turned around in horror.
She threw the #original cyclone punch, instantly ending Nephrite.
Jadeite dived for her feet, intending to sweep her away.
"REV UP THOSE FRYERS!" screamed Jadeite.
However, before he could make contact and bring her to the ground, she threw an elbow into the back of his neck, and then sidestepped throwing a knee into his stomach, finishing him off.
"CUZ I AM SURE HUNGRY!" shrieked Motoki's mom as a battle cry.
Kunzite grabbed her by the head, and started throwing punches at her stomach repeatedly.
After unleashing a wave of scattered blows from head to toe, Kunzite threw 4000 consecutive punches until she was no more.
That's when Motoki's mom climbed to her feet.
"Impossible!" said Jadeite.
He threw a flyby, followed by a grandslam. And then another flyby and she was gone from the living realm.
"And stay down!" yelled Kunzite.
Motoki came to, and he was in the Negaverse.
Apparently, he had been revived by Metalia, and he saw his mother in a room separated by glass.
The other Shitennou were in the room with his mom.
"Alright," said Kunzite. "You have a choice, boy. Would you rather be beat up 25 times, or your mom 1 time?"
"Ummm…" said Motoki. "How hard is the beating?!"
"Very," said Kunzite. "I will heal you after each beating, but I will not heal your mom, or you on your 25th beating. You have 20 minutes to think," he said.
"What cruelty is this!?" demanded Motoki. "I just wanted to run a fast food joint?!"
"The clock is ticking," said Zoisite.
Motoki thought for a very long time.
After 12 minutes, he tried to take his own life, however he could not pull it off, and knew if he did he'd probably get revived.
"What did I do to deserve this?!" demanded Motoki.
"Time's up," said Kenji. "What is it, boy?"
"I choose neither," said Motoki.
That's when the Shitennou killed his mom and gave him 25 beatings.
"You should have just picked," said Zoisite shrugging. "Personally it's a very tough choice."
Motoki threw himself at Zoisite, and Zoisite had to unleash the beam.
"Why does it always have to end like this?" asked Zoisite sadly.
Motoki's vision faded to black and it never faded back in.
"To think," said Jadeite. "I just wanted him to rev up those fryers. How is this a lesser fate?"
