Hey everyone, Amie here. Sorry about the reconstruction of my profile and fanfictions. But I want to make a strong comeback. I hope to come back with a big crossover in May, hopefully. Anyways, this story was on DeviantArt and I thought to bring it over to fanfiction. And just to let you guys know, this is alternate universe story, set after 'Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'. So the events on Pi'illo Island have or will not take place. Enjoy!
The wind blew quietly through the night, giving a rather creepy howl. But no one seemed to have noticed, everyone was sound asleep. Well, not everyone. Mario Gregory Manfredi Junior, or Super Mario as he was better known to everyone in Mushroom Kingdom, was wide awake. He looked outside and saw that the stars were tickling in the sky. Interestingly enough, there was no moon in the sky. Mario felt a shiver running down his back. 'Funny, I used to look at a moon with no problem three weeks ago and now I'm scared of it,' Mario thought.
And it all started on a full moon's night as well. Mario remembered what happened that night...
-Flashback-
Mario was enjoying relaxing for once in his own home. Princess Peach Blossom Toadstool was safe, the Chaos Heart and The Void were gone, and everything was back to normal. The only thing that was bothering Mario was that his baby twin brother, Luigi James Manfredi, seemed more distant than usual. Though Mario didn't blame him after what had happened. Mario involuntary shivered whenever he thought of The Green Thunder, Mr. L. 'I never expected for him to be my baby brother. Why didn't I recognize him,' Mario thought, furious at himself for not recognizing Mr. L as Luigi.
A sudden cackle sound caught his attention. Mario looked around, igniting his red fire powers.
Mario demanded, "Who's there?"
When he heard nothing but silence, he suspected that he was alone. Mario deactivated his powers, but made sure that they were ready to go. He had a feeling that he wasn't exactly alone...
After a few hours and not hearing anything else, Mario finally decided to turn in. He laid down in his red sheeted bed and covered with his red comforter that Luigi got him for last Christmas. Mario closed his eyes as he heard another cackle. Mario bolted his eyes open and floating in front of him was King Boo himself!
Mario breathed, "What the..."
King Boo replied, "Never thought you would see me again, huh, red cap? Well, what can I say? Old habits die hard."
The way he said that, shivers went down Mario's spine but he didn't let it show.
Mario questioned, "How'd you get out of that painting?"
King Boo answered, smirking, "Turns out that being in total and complete isolation increased my magic powers. So, I was able to get myself out right under that stupid professor's nose. Strange, though, he wasn't there for me to get but whatever, I'm flexible."
'At least that's some good news,' Mario thought.
Mario stated, "You won't have the chance in getting Elvin, I'm stopping you here and now!"
As Mario tried to activate his red fire powers, he saw that two rings of Boos were holding down his arms. Mario struggled but it was no use, the Boos were too strong for him.
King Boo smirked even more if that was at all possible and told Mario, "You seriously didn't think I would come prepare for you? Oh, I knew that I was facing a real challenge in you. I'm not afraid of your brother but it seems that you are."
Mario hissed, "I'm not afraid of my brother, you devil."
"I beg to differ, sir-jumps-a-lot."
=End of flashback-
Mario sighed as he ran a hand through his hair, taking off his signature red cap. He had to admit, he was scared of the moon. But he couldn't be scared of anything - he was Super Mario. He couldn't be scared. Not now, not ever. He couldn't let anyone know of his fears, not even Princess Peach...or Luigi. After awhile, Mario gave into sleep.
