Chapter 8
The chunks that spewed forth from Wario's mouth (that had found their way to Luigi's face) fell to the floor as Luigi whiped them away with a moist towel. He made sure to get rid of every last piece; he didn't want the muck messing up his (self-proclaimed) "handsome" face.
"Blegh," he said with a sigh. "He eats way to much." One could only assume he was speaking of Wario. Luigi looked up at the smoke rising from the house. He knew that Wario had indeed planted TNT around his humble abode, but he couldn't figure out what had set it off.
"Mabey he had a match," Luigi sighed.
D.K slept by a stop sign while Mario ran to get him a pale of water. Yoshi, on the other hand, dashed to the local medical store to buy some first aid, just in case anyone was hurt. Wario was fine, of course.
"Are we having a party?" He asked Luigi, who had walked back over to the safe zone the others had "established".
"Well, we were, until you blew up your house. At least, I think you blew up your house..."
Wario pulled out a TNT stick, a copy of many other that rest at the bottom of the explosion site.
"You mean these?"
"Yes those. You blew up your house. With a...I dunno, what did you use?"
Wario was sure he wasn't the the man who destroyed his own home. Though he admitted to planting the explosives, he wasn't the one who set it off.
"It-it wasn't me," Wario cried. "I didn't do it!"
"Yes you did," Luigi snapped. "Who else could've-"
Just then, a shriek of terror ran through the entire yard. The scream shattered Wario's ears; he passed out within seconds. Others did their best to locate the source, but to no avail.
"No one was in the house, were they?" Several pedestrians, including a very concerned mother panicked when they noticed that a baby Toad had wandered away from their group, which had been set up at the corner where D.K lay. Still, none could locate the child.
"Where is he?!" The mother shook her husband, attempting to get answers.
"I-I don't know, honey. He must be here somewhere!" The father was in a nervous state of mind.
"I just...don't know"
The screams got louder until Luigi noticed the baby on the 3rd floor of the house. The baby was sitting by the window of place Wario once called bedroom. The baby was covered in ash and dirt; byproducts of the explosion. By some miracle, the child was alive.
"Great," Luigi sighed. "No one sees him but me."
He looked back at Wario, who was laying there on the floor half asleep for the 4th or 5th time in 5 hours.
"This is all your fault...."
Luigi took two steps foward, hesitated for a second or two, then dashed right into the burning house. Fire fighters hadn't even arrived yet (no one had bothered to phone 911).
He smacked open the door with his foot; it fell to the ground in a flash, and Luigi was met with intense heat. It burned his eyes with fury so great a weaker man would have turned back.
"How did that baby even get in here?" Luigi charged full force into the mess.
Meanwhile, Mario and Yoshi had arrived back at the safe zone to try and nurse D.K back to health. They poured water down his throat in an attempt to wake him back up.
"There you go," Mario said. "Water will wake 'em up."
He looked around after being dismissed by Yoshi. Wario lay upon the lawn, Luigi absent from the sceen.
"Where's Luigi? I could've sworn this is where we left him..."
Mario picked Wario up on his back and ran back over to the safe zone.
"Dial 911," he said to Yoshi. "I think Wario might be in trouble...though he probably just passed out again. I'm gonna get this fire under control with some old fashioned pyro control."
He loosened the gloves on his hand and stood near the blaze.
"I haven't done a fire this bi in a while. This is gonna take a while...."
Luigi charged through some burning wood while he smashed open some more doorways. He did his best to control the fire with his own technique, but the blaze was simply too large. All the while, he was praying to himself.
"Please don't let me be too late...."
Yeah, the story isn't really funny anymore. But I like doing that with my stories. Making them seem hilarious then go to serious. I hope I can still keep you guys entertained.
