Chapter 17: Everlasting
???: Got any updates?
Ztar: Yep, it appears that everyone's evacuated from the apartment we blew up. & that King Pipe's happy that he pursued his new dream.
???: This is getting too risky. I called some backup to take down that fellow.
(Suddenly, Hal Monitor barged in & the entire police force surrounded KP)
KP: What the? What's the meaning of this?
Hal: YOU'RE ARRESTED FOR ASSOCIATING WITH A WANTED CRIMINAL & NOT HAVING A LEGAL PERMIT FOR THIS NEW BUSINESS YOU'RE MAKING!
KP: You don't understand. One of my tenants is framed, & i'm just about to get one.
Hal: A likely story, for a con man. Boys, take him in!
KP: You won't get away for this! I will sue you!
Ztar: Ohhhhh...kay...
~December 25, Peach's Castle~
Mario: Oh no, what do i do when i'm home alone?
Lo: Aw man, do they have left us?
(Mario then turns around, only to find Lo, Zel & Maya woken up, & on the stairs)
Mario: Wait, oh no, they even left you guys too.
Maya: (to Zel) I thought you supposed to wake us early.
Zel: I tried, but the clock somehow isn't working.
Mario: Looks like we're all home alone here.
Kermit: & breaking news, it's seen by the Hubble Telescope that some unknown spacecraft arrived on the Astroid Belt. We don't know if it's a gift or a threat, but NASA sure ain't helping.
(Tne news then shows a CCTV scene of the staff flipping out. One of them clearly said "MY WATERMELON")
Mario: This situation's worse than i thought.
Zel: Do you seen this, dad?
Nakano: Yeah, i've been trying to calm down from both work & this.
(Just then, a blond fox human appears on the camera)
?????: Hry Nakano, i need to talk to them.
Nakano: Not now.
Lo: Sir, who is that?
Senko: Glad you asked. I'm Senko, a guardian fox who also serves as his housewife.
Nakano: Senko, that's not what i meant.
Senko: But it's good.
Mario: (chuckles a bit) Glad you got someone who'll hold your weight, huh?
Nakano: Yeah.
Senko: Oh, Zel. Your grandparents & daddy here had sent you a gift.
Maya: Come on, open it.
(Maya then hands her the gift to Zel, & she opens it. She then wears the pink hoodie that comes with some familiar cat headphones)
Lo: Hey, at least it's a step up from those itchy sweaters.
(The gang then laughed as Zel feels more warmth on her heart. Any christmas has been a lot better with friends & family sharing altogether. Maya, on the other hand, feels anxious that his master's plan will kill them all. Just then, someone's at the door)
Mario: Oh, i'll get it. Hope that our friends are back. (goes to the door)
Zel: I wished that your parents also sent you gifts. Considering that you never told me about them.
Maya: There is one thing, I was orphaned at an early age.
Lo: For me... (he then tries think about his parents, but had no idea) i don't know. The first thing i came to this world is when i'm at the mall.
Zel: Yeah, & it's our first anniversary of meeting with you.
Maya: Wait, isn't it weird we haven't heard on King Pipe for a while?
Zel: What do you mean?
Mario: Alright everyone, stop what you're doing. The burglars are gonna rob this castle & steal our stuff. We're gonna show them whose boss.
Lo: Right back at ya. Sorry Nakano & Senko, merry Christmas.
Nakano: Merry Christmas to you too.
Senko: See ya. (hangs up the video chat)
Zel: Come on Maya, let's beat those clowns.
Maya: (receives an urgent call) On it, but first I'll get some weapons. (heads to the bunker & activates the call)
???: What's going on here? Why aren't they suffering right now?
Maya: I kinda grown throughout these 13 months. We should halt the invasion.
???: Ztar's right about you, you are WEAK! No matter, i had a contagiency plan for this.
Maya: What are you talking about here???
???: (ends the phone call) (to Ztar) Got the chips?
Ztar: Just as its ordered.
???: Good, prepare the epoxy glue & coding engine. This plan will never fail.
(Eventually, the Wario brothers got caught, trapped, & beaten senselessly by Mario & his pals. The rest of the gang arrives to help clean the mess)
SMG4: Whoo, now that we're back here, what should we do now this Christmas?
Waluigi: Well, you can let go of us.
Bob: (shoves a toilet roll on his mouth) Quiet, u. MAyB we should sing some carols.
Zel: That's a good idea, Bob. & i think i had a song for you. It's something Lo & I created together.
Wario: At least it's better than Bob's mindless crap.
Bob: DAFUQ U SAY TO ME, LITTLE S- (gets walloped by Saiko) ow, my ovaries
Saiko: Go ahead, Zel. We're listening.
Zel: Thanks, Saiko. You got the ukelele, Lo.
Lo: Right as your great grandpa ordered.
(the gang then huddled around as Lo starts strumming the guitar. As someone who desires to make songs, Zel finally has her dream come true)
~endless dreaming, endless dreaming,
everywhere else has no meaning,
i just wanna say, that forever here i want to stay in
endless dreaming, Don't end this dreaming~
