Minibeast Overload

 Minibeast Overload

It had been six months since I had  seen Mini.  If you don’t know who Mini was, she is my minibeast.  She likes to be called “Mini.” Technically she doesn't have a gender since she was made in a laboratory but she prefers being female.

Anyway, I found her at the inlet and decided to take her on vacation with me.  

Once we got to the resort, we immediately went to our room and started unpacking our stuff.  Well…, I started unpacking because minibeasts can’t exactly wear clothes so that means they have nothing to pack.  Plus they store all their necessities like a jar of tree sap and berries in their pouches under their wings. 

We went down to the pool.  We walked over to the chairs and sat down. I took my eye off Mini for a couple seconds and she was gone! 

I began to search and search but she was nowhere to be seen. I then went back to the room but she wasn’t there.  I went to the food bar and she wasn’t there either.  Mini was literally nowhere. 

I took myself back to the chair. As I was looking around I saw some blue spotted creature in the distance.  I walked up to it and I looked down and I saw Mini surrounded by purple liquid.  All of a sudden my minibeast turned into two minibeasts then multiplied into four then multiplied into eight and soon it had multiplied into thousands! 

Everyone ran out of the pool screaming and crying because the whole pool was infested by these minibeasts. But they weren't ordinary minibeasts, these were POISONOUS MINIBEASTS! The only one that wasn’t poisonous was Mini but since there were so many it would take FOREVER to find her because there were thousands of lookalikes.

I paced back and forth trying to figure out what I could say or do to find her.

I then remembered that poisonous minibeasts HATE berries and non-poisonous ones LOVE berries.  I shouted out so loudly, my body was shaking.  “Come here Mini, I have some fresh raspberries for you!” 

Nothing seemed to happen so I said it again.

“Come on Mini!  They're your absolute favourite!”

Out of the thousands that were in the water Mini raised up from the surface and flew over to me.

“So… Where's the berries?” she said.

“You can talk!?!? I said.”  I was in total shock and disbelief.

“Well… yes I can! Anyway we need to find a way to stop these poisonous beasts!  Pronto!”

“You're right.  But what are we going to do?”

“Follow me,” Mini said.  

I followed Mini down into the forest behind the resort where we were staying.

It was cold and damp.  I was following her for what felt like hours.  Suddenly she stopped. She began to say something in a language of her own and just like that, a portal appeared out of absolutely nowhere.  Mini flew into the portal.  I stood there for a few seconds debating if I should follow her lead. But suddenly I got pulled into the portal by a spirit of some sort. Once I was out of the portal I opened my eyes and I was in some type of factory where there was not one, not two or three but MILLIONS OF MINIBEASTS! 

Mini flew up to me and landed on my shoulder.

“Listen, we need to get into the potion room! Hopefully they have what we need to destroy these poisonous minibeasts”.  Her voice was full of hope.  

Mini began to fly off into the distance.  I followed close behind. 

After about 10 minutes we found the potion room. 

By that time Mini had talked to one of her friends to see if they had the

right potion. 

Gladly  they did.  We ended up taking about five bottles of this mysterious

green potion. 

We then said our goodbyes and headed back through the portal, right back to

the forest.

We began to walk back through the cold, damp, soggy forest and back to the

pool

where

all the Minibeasts lay on the surface of the pool. I took the potion bottles

out of my bag

and began pouring each of the bottles into the pool.  I was so nervous. 

My hands were

trembling.  I hoped this potion was going to work.  I had faith in Mini.

One by one the minibeasts disappeared as people gasped with joy. 

I was so happy. 

So relieved. 

Eventually after what seemed like many hours of work, all the minibeasts

were gone. 

Nobody knew where they had disappeared to. 

Everyone was just glad they couldn’t bother anyone anymore. 

So what happened to Mini you may ask? Well we enjoyed the rest of

our holiday in peace. 

I then said goodbye and  released her back to the inlet where she belonged.

The End.
