As promised, I now present, chapter 5 of The revenge of Luigi.

Chapter 5: Two months of terror.

         
         Luigi sat in his bed one evening, reflecting on his actions of a certain previous day.  Bowser had stirred up his agitation by mocking Mario at the legendary plumber's funeral, and Luigi had reacted, getting into a big brawl with the evil Koopa king.  Then, Bowser had told him that he would never measure up to Mario, because not even Mario could beat him as long as he had that pendant. 
         "That pendant makes him all powerful.  If anyone is to beat him, they would have to destroy it!"  He said to himself.  "But, I thought we already did in that big fight years ago." (Once again, referring to "Super Koopa")
          Luigi continued to stir in thought until he finally drifted off to sleep; his last words of the evening being, "I'll find a way to destroy that pendant, and Bowser, if it's the last thing I do!" 

         The next morning, things were running smoothly and it had started out like any normal day in the Mushroom Kingdom.  The air was fresh and clear, the kids ran and played on the playgrounds during early morning recess at Mushroom Elementary, and the older kids sat in their first hour classes at Fungi High.  Luigi, however, was not in high spirits.  The memory of Mario's demise still fresh in his mind, he went along in his day just going through the motions, not really caring what was going on.  He had just gotten out of the hospital, much earlier than expected, and was supposed to meet Daisy for lunch at 12:00 at the newly named "Mario Diner."  (And also, for memorial purposes, the gym at Fungi High was renamed the "Mario Mario Memorial Gymnasium.")  He finally got there and met her for lunch, and they began talking.
         "Hi, Luigi!  How are you doing?"  Daisy said in the most optimistic way that she could. 
         "Fine, I guess."  Luigi said in kind of a dull tone.
         "You miss him don't you?"  Daisy said in a sympathetic voice. 
         "Yes, I miss him a lot."  Luigi said.  They all did.  Mario was a friend to all who encountered him, with the exception of Bowser and other villains and their cronies.  Daisy put her arm around Luigi, as she had moved her chair right next to him. 
         After reflecting silently for a moment, Luigi spoke again.
         "Daisy, I figured it out last night."
         "What did you figure out, Luigi?"  She replied.
         "I figured out how I can beat Bowser."
         "But he's too powerful!  He'd kill you in a heartbeat with those pendant powers!"  Daisy replied.
         "Just listen, Daisy.  All I have to do is find a way to destroy that pendant!  I remember a long time ago, one of Bowser's kids created a power pendant for him to wear.  It allowed him to copy any of our Super Mario Brothers Superpowers.  This one he has now is a lot more powerful.  But I think if we can strike a direct hit on it, we can destroy it!" 
         "But Luigi!"
         "Don't worry Daisy.  Nothing can possibly go wrong!"
         "The last time you said that, you almost destroyed your house!"
         "I was 16 and really into science!  Just trust me, Daisy, I know what I'm doing."
         "I hope you're right, Luigi.  I hope you're right!"  Daisy clutched his hand tightly.  Luigi felt a tingly feeling in his heart.  Finally, he was feeling an emotion other than sadness, reflection or anger.  He and Daisy walked out of the Mario Diner hand in hand, a smile upon both of their faces.  It was the first time Luigi had smiled in quite awhile. 

          On the other side of the Mushroom World, the Castle of Bowser was shrouded in darkness, as usual.  A moat of hot lava circled around the bottom of a deep chasm, with only a steel bridge being means of transportation over it.  It was from this place that the evil Koopa King had come up with his numerous schemes over the years.  It was also the place where Mario Mario had met his horrific demise just days ago.  Inside the castle walls, Bowser paced up and down the halls, admiring the new army he had arranged. 
          "Now, with that second-rate brother in the hospital, I will unleash my army on the kingdom and finally accomplish what I have never been able to accomplish before!  The Mushroom Kingdom, as well as Princess Peach, shall be mine!  Bwa ha ha ha!"  He laughed, admiring his army once more.  "Get ready Mushroom Kingdom, for your time has come!  Bwa ha ha ha!" 

          It was a dark and stormy night in the Mushroom Kingdom.  Luigi had been invited over to Yoshi's pad, along with Toad to watch the Final Four games.  But with the storm, Yoshi's satellite dish kept malfunctioning, so they were hardly able to tell what happened.  The parts that they did see, showed George Mason losing to Florida and UCLA pounding LSU.  Neither of the games were that close.  After the games, with the storm as bad as it was, Luigi decided to crash at Yoshi's. 
          Morning came in the Mushroom Kingdom yet again.  Luigi was the first one up, so he turned on the local news.  A story came up about Princess Peach having been captured last night.
          "This is your Mushroom Kingdom news leader with a breaking report.  Princess Peach Toadstool has been captured yet again by the evil Koopa King, Bowser!  Reports say that Bowser burst in through the balcony window and knocked out all of the mushroom retainers guarding her bedroom.  He then went over to her bedside, slung her over his shoulder, and proceeded to fly away in his Clown Copter.  Now we have breaking news from the center of Mushroom Square."   
          Luigi kept watching the tv, hardly believing what he was seeing.  Peach had been captured for the millionth time, he knew, but there was something different.  Now that he no longer had Mario to deal with, Bowser was finally accomplishing something.  He turned his attention back to the TV.  Bowser was on the screen, clutching the hand of a terrified Princess Peach. 
          "Citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom and the lot of you listening on the Mushroom Kingdom radio Network, I have come to finally accomplish something I could have done 20 years ago if not for that meddling Mario!  I have come to wed your beautiful Princess Peach in holy matrimony!"  He laughed.  Peach yelled something at him. 
          "Princess Peach just asked me, what if she said no?  Well, I'll tell you, baby!  If you say no, all of your friends in hiding, Yoshi, Toad, Daisy, and what's his name?  Oh yeah, Luigi, will all pay for your foolishness with their lives!  So you've got no choice, my dear!  Bwa ha ha ha ha!"  The evil villain chuckled.  Princess Peach was emotionally shaken inside.  Luigi could take it no longer. 
          "That snake has gone too far this time!"  Luigi yelled.  His voice woke up the others. 
          "What's wrong, Luigi?"  Yoshi asked. 
          "See for yourself!"  he replied, pointing at the televison screen. 
          "No!  he can't do this!"  Toad said.
          "Yes he can."  Luigi said.  "And I have the feeling it's only going to get worse from here!" 

          Thus began the two months of terror.  Bowser's army soon reached the kingdom and made themselves at home, while Luigi and the others hid out at the newly established Mario Hotel, plotting their first move in this diabolical game of chess that meant life or death for the entire Kingdom.  With Mario out of the way, the entire Mushroom World had gotten a taste of what Bowser Koopa could really do uninterrupted.       

     

Whew, that was intense!  I couldn't resist putting the "Fungi High" and Mario Hotel refernces in there.

Oh yeah, before I forget.

Preview of Chapter 6:

Bowser has it out with his new wife and smacks her across the face.  He even goes so far as to threaten to kill her.  Luigi, meanwhile, is still trying to figure out how to even get at Bowser to destroy that pendant.  He knows that to do that he has to risk life and limb to get through the heavily guarded forces at Peach's castle, which Bowser took over in our last chapter.  Will Luigi survive, or will Bowser succeed in elimnating the Mushroom Kingdom's last shroud of hope?

All right, we're going to do things in sections for this chapter, because I don't have nearly as much time as I used to.  Section 1 of chapter 6 begins now.

    Chapter 6: Two months of terror part 2/The Army Ambushes.

   Night had dawned on the Mushroom Kingdom after a day of darkness.  With Mario out of the way, Bowser had finally taken over the land by forcing Princess Peach Toadstool into a royal marriage, thus making himself the new King.  With his automatic rise to the throne, he decided to lay down some new doctrines and ground rules.  This began the tyrannical reign of King Bowser Koopa Toadstool.  Yes, along with the marriage, the evil Koopa King had gained the Toadstool name as well.

    The only positive that you could draw from the situation was that by royal marriage, Peach Toadstool had become the new Queen of the kingdom.  However, her eyes held a look of sadness and dispair, as she longed for the late Mario Mario.  She also could not stand to see her people suffer.  A day came where peach's long suffering emotions got the better of her, and she approached her husband, King Bowser.
   "Listen you!"  She said.  "I don't want to see anymore of my people suffer!  No more deaths!  No more destruction!  It's my kingdom too, you know!" 
    Bowser sat up, surprised at the sudden outburst from the usually calm Peach.  But in just a few seconds, that all too familiar devious smile returned to his face. 
    "My dear wife, in case you have forgotten, I am King Bowser Koopa!  I stand for power and tyranny!  And if all of those little people out there can't clear the way, it's their loss!  I'll do whatever it takes to conquer this kingdom, and eventually, this planet!  Just like I nearly did years ago!"  He laughed.  Peach stood there, enraged at the Koopa who had forced her into marriage. 
   "That's it!  I can't take it anymore!  I cannot stand you, Bowser Koopa!  I'm going to do something I should have done a long time ago!  I'm going to destroy your power pendant!"  She said. 
    "You'll do no such thing!"  Bowser yelled as he grabbed her arm.
    "Let go of me!"  She said as she kicked him.  Bowser, feeling his short temper flare up, stuck Peach on the face, and she fell to the floor.  She looked up at Bowser, tears shimmering in her eyes. 
    "You've got two choices, Peach.  You can get out now and let me rule the way I want to rule, or I can have my guards throw you out!  The alternative is execution for attempted destruction of the Power Pendant, so I would suggest you take one of the first two."  Bowser said in a serious tone, obviously not wanting to hurt the poor girl, but not showing much sympathy toward her either. 
    "Fine, go ahead.  Have your guards throw me out!  Dignity is not the case, for I lost my sense of dignity the day you forced me into marriage."  She said, getting one last verbal shot at the King of the Koopas before his guards came into the room.
     "Gladly.  Guards, get Queen Peach out of here before I do something I really don't want to do."  Bowser said as they led the queen out of the room.  After they had gone, Bowser felt this feeling of guilt over striking Peach in the face. 
     "Is that what I've been reduced to?  A woman beating slimebag?  No, not me.  Not Bowser Koopa!  I may kidnap young girls, but I don't hurt them!  And that's the way it will be from now on!" 
     Meanwhile, Bowser's guards led Peach to the door.  They each took hold of her and threw her out into the cold rainy night. 
     "Don't let the door hit you on the way out, sweetheart!"  One of them said in an obviously sarcastic tone.  Peach was left sprawled out on the street, having been knocked out by the force of the rate of her body hitting the sidewalk, coupled with her natural exhaustion from having it out with Bowser.  In the darkness, a shadow neared the girl.

I think I'll be able to post section two of chapter 6 this saturday.  (Which is also my prom.)  Besides, as evil as Bowser's been in this story, I had to give him some moral fiber.

Here's section 2!

   As Peach had been tossed from her castle by Bowser's troops, Luigi also was in for a big surprise on this same night.  He sat in his main room watching TV, trying to think up a plan for invading the castle and destroying that Power Pendant that Bowser wore around his neck.  He received a knock on his door, so he went over to answer it. 
  "Who would be going around at this time of night?"  He said.  He opened the door, and just like that, Bowser's troops were on him. Luigi tried to fight, but they overpowered him in their numbers.  After a big beating, he was tossed out the front door of his own house.  Beaten and bloodied, he just stared at his house which was now overrun by Koopa troops.  These weren't your ordinary Koopa Troopas either, as they had all received shots of power from Bowser's pendant. 
  Luigi continued to stare at his house. 
  "I just had to ask..."  He said as he walked away.  He had no means of taking down that group that had just beaten him like a bad stepchild.  So he continued to walk until he saw an unconscious form in the street.  He advanced toward it, seeing that he was just outside Peach's castle.  He glanced down only to see Queen Peach Toadstool laying on the ground.  He tried to get her to wake up, but she was out.  So, he gently picked her up and began carrying her to Daisy's house, figuring that she could stay with her for the night.  He was almost to Daisy's house when he heard a scream. 
   "Oh no!  Daisy's in trouble!"  He said.  he set Peach down underneath a tree and ran toward Daisy's house.  He got there just in time to see more of Bowser's troops start to advance toward her. 
   "Hey you Bowser wanna-bes!  Stay away from her or I'll come up there and turn all of you into Koopa Loompas!"   Luigi said.  He cringed at the bad pun he had just made.  Daisy came outside the house and saw Luigi. 
    "Luigi!  What do we do now?"  She said. 
    "We kick some Koopa tail!"  He said.  They prepared for the first major battle between team Luigi and the Army of the Dark Kingdom.

Actually, I've just decided to call that a chapter.  I think I'll have the first major battle lead off chapter 7.


Edit: Which also gives me the right timing to post this.

Preview of CH.7:
Luigi and Daisy battle against the Koopa Army (I just realized that Koopa Empire was a copy of "The prophecy.") and are badly wounded.  Meanwhile, the Army carries Peach to their lair within the castle walls.  Toad and Yoshi formulate a plot to save her, while Luigi, badly busted as he is, makes a plan to invade the castle and tries to execute it.  But will he wind up being executed himself?  What will happen next?  Find out in Chapter 7 of Revenge of Luigi!

     Here it is!  Long overdue, I know.

Chapter 7: Fight for your life, Luigi!

 

                When we last left our heroes, they had all been affected by the Koopa Army in some way.  Queen Peach had a shouting match with Bowser, which ended with her getting tossed out the door, Luigi was ambushed after an anonymous doorbell ring at a long hour of the night, after which he found Peach, and was in the middle of transporting her from the castle street to Daisy's home, when he heard a cry for help.  He then made a bad pun, and that is where we stand.
                "Daisy!  get down here!"  Luigi said.  She hurried down the stairs outside of her house to Luigi's side. 
                "Luigi!"  She said as she threw her arms around him. 
                "Are you all right, Daisy?  They didn't try to hurt you, did they?"  He said.  She nodded her head, to Luigi's sudden disgust.  He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to storm the stairs.  Daisy looked on as the man that she secretly loved challenged the Koopas to a dogfight.  They obliged (spelling?  C'mon Sapph, help me out here!) and surrounded him on all sides. 
                "So you want to fight do you?"  The lead Koopa asked Luigi. 
                "You tried to hurt Daisy, so I'm going to bash all of your heads in!"  He said.
                "All right, try this on for size!"  One of the Koopas said.  He threw a viscious jab at Luigi, but he ducked out of the way.  He then jumped into the air, legs spinning as he turned sideways and began to literally kick the snot out of the Koopas.  Daisy cowered away in digust.
                "Eww, that is nasty."  She said.  Luigi continued the successful, yet disgusting attack.  Just then, however, one of the Koopas grabbed Luigi's legs, stopping his spin motion.  He then bashed Luigi around the porch area in a very Looney Tunes fashion.  After the assault, he threw Luigi off of the porch, where he landed right next to Daisy. 
                "Luigi!  Are you all right?"  She said to him.  Luigi looked up at her in a very convincing way that told her he was not. 
                "Where did you learn that move?"  She asked him.
                "My uncle taught me that one.  He also taught Mario and I some other great jabs and punches.  You see, he was a big fan of the Rocky films, and he wanted Mario and I to go to Philadelphia and become the next World Heavyweight Champions."  He said.  "That never happened, but at least now I owe my uncle for some great moves that could save both of our tails!" 
                "Those petty moves will not save you from the grand beating of your lives!  Koopa Army attack!"  The lead Koopa shouted.  The influence of Bowser's power pendant then became evident as Koopa Troops began shooting fireballs at our heroes.
                "Koopas shooting fireballs!  Now I've seen everything!"  Luigi said.  He managed to avoid the fire along with Daisy.  But he soon was shot right in the backside and crumpled to the ground.  Daisy continued to run, unaware that Luigi had been shot down.  She managed to avoid the fire for a little bit longer until she saw Luigi rise up from where he had fallen.  He looked angered and in great pain as well.
                "What happened?"  She asked him.  He scowled in reply. 
                "Dang Koopas!  Now I won't be able to sit for a month!"  He said. 
                The battle raged on as Luigi and Daisy avoided the attacks of the Koopas.  Luigi felt around in his pocket and managed to find the jackpot, a cape feather.  All of a sudden, Daisy was whacked from behind by one of the Koopas.  She fell to the ground, unconscious.  The Koopas turned to Luigi and began to surround him.  They began to taunt him, saying that they were going to kill him and then finish off Daisy.  Luigi responded with a wicked grin.
                "I wouldn't have it any other way, guys.  But...it's not going to happen!"  He absorbed the energy of the cape feather and became Cape Luigi.  Cape Luigi flew around the Koopas and began taking them out one by one.  Eventually, it was down to him and the lead Koopa.  They had a good tussle that included a lot of hits and some misses as well.  Luigi finally channeled his energy into one big, final attack to wipe out the last of this branch of the Koopa Army. 
                "Goodnight Irene."  Luigi said to the lead koopa. 
                "Hey, Irene is my father, I mean, my mother's name!"  he said.  It didn't matter.  Luigi executed the final attack on the Koopa, and he disappeared along with the others.  But even in defeat, he smiled.  He disappeared, saying "We got the last laugh!" 
                Luigi wondered what he could have possibly meant by that last line.
                He found out soon enough.  Daisy woke up not long after the battle was over. 
                "Daisy!"  Luigi said. 
                "Luigi!"  She said as they embraced again.  They had survived the first encounter with Bowser's Koopa Army, on a dark and stormy night. 
                "Let's get out of here!  I'll grab Peach and..."  Luigi looked over and saw that Peach was no longer under the tree where he had set her.  He knew immediately what had happened. 
                "Those Koopas must have taken her!  I must have only fought half of their group!  This is not good!  Daisy, let's go find a place to...oh!"  He exclaimed as he passed out in mid-sentence.  Daisy looked at his side, horrified to see that his old wound from his fight with Bowser on the day of Mario's funeral had reopened and was worse than ever.  Also injured was Luigi's right leg, a victim of the Koopa battle. 
                Daisy looked at the dark skies, as the rain began to let up.  She wondered how they were ever going to survive their next great battle.  The first item of business, however, was to get Luigi to a safe place.  She took Luigi's shoulder, and helped him to his feet.  She began to drag him, being extremely careful of his open wound.  At long last, she pulled him into the darkness of an old, abandoned cave.  There, she decided, they would rest until the morning.  She fell asleep right next to him, her valiant hero. 

                Back at Peach's Castle, Bowser was not a happy Koopa.  He had just received word of the Koopa Army's thwarted attempt to kill Luigi and Daisy. 
                "It just goes to show you, if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself!"  He said.  As he left the throne room, he ran into one of his kids, Ludwig Von Koopa.
                "Dad, where are you going?"  The young Koopa Kid asked.
                "I'm taking my best minions for a few rounds with Luigi!  And if Daisy gets in my way, it's her loss!"  He laughed.  Ludwig laughed along with him. 
                "Wish me luck, son!"  Bowser said as he walked out the door.  Ludwig was left standing alone in the throne room as Bowser set out on the one mission that would complete his takeover of the Kingdom, as well as the Mushroom World, the destruction of Luigi Mario!
