Okay, for a long time, I've been wondering. My goal on the FF was to write the greatest story ever. This may not be it, but I'm going to give it a shot. It's kind of a "what if" thing. What if Luigi hated Mario, and wanted the kingdom? What if someone else was helping him in his deadly mission for dictatorship? What if Yoshi became a hero? Welcome to the machine.
Part One
"I've always hated him. Ever since we were children, that idiot has continued to mock me." The Mushroom Kingdom Grand Police office was filled with criminals of the highest caliber to the average thrift store theif. You couldn't go a single step without running into a jerk who would give you a dirty look (or a spit on the shoe, for that matter.) In the middle of this great chaos was the kingdom's second greatest hero. He was driven to the point of insanity, for reasons yet to be explained. He continued his rant. "I'm telling you, the fool deserved to die. This dump is better off with out him."
"And why is that?" Asked the cheif Toad of police.
"Hehe......Why? I don't believe this. I suppose I was right about this pathetic kingdom."
The Chief stared at him in the eyes. It was late at night, and he wasn't in the mood for jokes. He took his night stick and beat the "criminal" over his head.
"I don't like games," yelled the chief. "Tell me why you killed him, or you'll be sorry."
The criminal snickered, with blood dripping from his nose. He didn't answer.
"Do you know who I am? I'm the authority in this whole darn place. I can have you put away for life. Or worse......"
The Chief continued to smack him with his night stick. Normally, someone would have stopped him, but no one had sympathy for the cursed soul. This went on for a couple of hours, until the "criminal" spoke out. Blood was all over the floor, a mess the janitor would have to deal with later.
"Why....didn't you kill me?"
"Eh?" The chief replied.
"My purpose in life is complete. I want to die."
Chief Toad laughed at him in disbelieve. He had never met someone so low before. He killed his own brother, and now he wanted to die.
"Rubbish. I'll kill you when you tell me why you did it."
"This place is dumber then I ever believed. Fine. I'll tell you everything."
It was silent in the room for a few seconds. The "criminal" was toying with the emotions of the chief. If anything, he wanted another wack from his stick.
"Spill it out, boy. I won't hit you until you tell me."
"The fool was a con. A phony, I'm telling you. Why do you think that Koopa kept coming back? It's because he wanted the fame, you idiot! Every time Koopa came back, he'd conveniently rise to defeat him. He didn't care about the Kingdom. He just didn't have the heart to kill the beast so that we'd live in peace. If you let me go, I'll destroy Koopa for good. The Kingdom is better off without the whole lot of them."
The chief ordered the rest of the crew to take the criminal to the electric chair. He had his information, so why keep him around? At 12:37 that night, he was executed. The two greatest hero's of the Mushroom Kingdom were gone forever.
"Gaahhh....what a night. Phone Yoshi and tell him the news. He's the successor. So put him on duty."
The chief sat down at his desk and sighed. He looked across his desk.
"Eh?"
A strange figure had walked into the room, with only a trench coat. His hat concealed his true face, so it was hard to tell if he was an enemy or not.
"Is he dead?" The strange man asked.
"Yes, executed 5 minutes ago."
The man said nothing. He threw down a bunch of papers at Chief Toad's desk.
"What the heck is this?"
"Oh, it's a distraction."
Sound erupted throughout the entire office. It was the sound of a gun shot, and it had been fired off by the man in the trench coat. Chief Toad's body lay on the floor. Blood covered the papers.
The man in the trench coat made his way into the room with the electric chair. A few gaurds spotted him the minute he walked in.
"Hey, you can't-"
Bang! The bodies hit the floor with a loud thud. They didn't move.
"What weaklings. I can't believe I have to save him from these losers."
Out of his coat, he held a 1-Up shroom. He gave it to the criminal's dead body, which was laid out on the chair itself.
Slowly, the criminal opened his eyes. He had died, and was alive again.
"Darn it. I wanted to kill those morons, but I didn't want an uproar. Looks like you did that for me. Eh, Sonic?"
The man took off trench coat, reviling his true face to be Sonic the Hedgehog.
"Come on, we have no time to lose. We have to get out of here and back to Koopa's before the entire force comes looking for us."
"Wait. Won't they be searching for the last Life Shroom? They'll use it to revive him, you know."
"That's why we must get there first. Hurry and get out of that stupid chair."
The two dashed out of the office, only to be confronted by the entire Mushroom Kingdom army.
The boss, who was atop a very huge tank, held out an over-sized microphone.
"Sonic the Hedgehog of Region 6, Zone Mobius, and Luigi Mario of Region 3, the Mushroom Kingdom! Did you have any participation in the murder of Mario Mario of Region 3, the Mushroom Kingdom?"
The two looked at each other and snickered. Luigi walked foward and screamed.
"We did it! We killed Mario!"
The boss gave a hand signal to the fleet and withdrew into his tank. He gave orders from a control unit inside the machine.
"Then prepare to die, villians!"
Luigi and Sonic took fighting stance, drawing in energy. No matter what happened, Luigi was proud of what he did. If it was his time, he would die with a smile on his face.
"Those cruel villians killed our hero! Remember that!" The boss gave out more orders to lock and load. All around the office, tanks, gunman and aircraft prepared to fire. It was now or never for Luigi.
Yeah, I know it's a little violent. But I had fun writing the first chapter, so please check out the next installment of "The Machine"! What is the machine? I won't tell you yet, so you'll have to keep reading.
