Ahem! Today...I'll tell you the story of the lost book of prophecies. This prophetic book was a mysterious tome of stories of future events. Of course, many people craved this book, wishing to glimpse their futures. But no person, after obtaining this amazing book, ever found happiness. The reason? The book held frightful secrets not meant for people's eyes. That book came to be called the Dark Prognosticus and was sealed away. This...is the tale of that forgotten book's last owner. It is a tale of love...

"My sweet Mario... My sweet Luigi... Please come back to us..."

Luigi woke up with a start as he rubbed his eyes, groaning. There was that voice again. It had been haunting him for the past two years, ever since he found... He looked over into the hall as he saw his friend, Mario, asleep and snoring in the bed. Luigi breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he was going to lose Mario again. 'But I should never lose him right,' Luigi thought, worried.

Even though the friendship thing was working very strongly for the two lost brothers, they were (or at least they thought), getting closer to the brother title. Queen Peach was very supportive of the two, as was the entire kingdom. Princess Daisy was as well, despite being in Sarasaland and that was in a different time zone completely. Luigi crashed on his bed, his mind flooded with thoughts.

He wanted a brother. Mario had a brother. He worked for royalty. Mario worked for royalty. While they were a lot alike, they had many differences between them. Luigi, while he was working for Peach, always had a fearful nature. Mario, however, had a brave nature. Speaking of Mario, the red clad hero started to wake. Luigi felt like a stalker as he watched Mario get up.

It was strange to have someone else in this house besides him. He had this house thanks to Peach and for that he was grateful.

After having (and devouring) some blueberry pancakes, things were rather quiet between the two. They tried making small talk but it fell short. Eventually, the two of them decided to leave for the day. That's when they heard something.

"L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-LUIGI, HELP!"

Mario and Luigi looked down the road and saw a Toad running towards them, looking panicked and freaking out quite a bit. They both had that feeling that something was about to happen to break their boredom.

Mario asked the Toad, "What? What happened? Why are you so crazy?"

The Toad answered, "It's sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shocking. Mushroom Castle...RAIDED! Queen Peach...STOLEN!"

Luigi gasped, "What?! By who?!"

Mario stated, "Maybe by dad, er, Bowser."

Luigi let the mistake slide, mainly because it was the first in two years.

"Let's go check it out," Luigi told him.

Mario nodded as the two of them headed out to save Queen Peach.

Toad said, as they left, "Good luck Mario and Luigi..."

Meanwhile in the Koopa Kingdom, Bowser (the Koopa King) was plotting the next attack on Mushroom Kingdom so that he could capture Queen Peach. Ever since Mario had betrayed them, Bowser had been trying to figure out another way to save his kingdom. All of his minions were there: Koopas, Turtles, Kammy, and more.

Bowser stated, "Listen well my elite minion task force! It's time to initiate the plan to invade Mushroom Castle! Today is the day where I make Queen Peach SURENDER. And if that weren't awesome enough, I'll ALSO stomp her little mustache and backstabbing buddies!"

The crowd cheered, "YEAH! WHOA! Bowser, Bowser, WHOO! Your Rudeness!"

Bowser chuckled, "Bwah haha! "We're under attack!" You jokers are the best!" That's when Bowser saw something and added, "Hey! Who are those hairy guys in the back? We SHAVE around here, minions!"

At that moment, Bowser jumped over them, parting the crowd. That's when he saw Mario and Luigi. He instantly got mad.

Bowser questioned, "Blergh! Mario? Luigi? How'd you get in here?"

Luigi explained, smirking a bit, "The front gate was open."

Bowser stomped his feet and groaned, "How many times have I told those idiots?! If you're last in, LOCK THE GATE!"

Mario got into fighting position and accused, "Quiet dad, er, Bowser! We know that you kidnapped Queen Peach!"

Bowser instantly looked confused as he replied, "Wait, what? We're only now about to launch our attack."

The two heroes instantly looked confused as Bowser did.

Mario was the first to believe Bowsee as he asked, "Wait, if Bowser didn't take Queen Peach...who did?"

"LUIGI! HELP!"

Hearing the voice of the queen; Mario, Luigi, and Bowser all looked around. In a flash of light, Queen Peach appeared to them and she looked like she was in a see-through cage of some sort. That's when a strange man appeared. He was wearing a white top hat, had a monocle on, a staff of some sort, and a long white cloak.

The mysterious person stated, "Bleck! You queen has been taken by Count Bleck!"

Luigi questioned, "Who?"

Count Bleck replied, "By me, Count Bleck! The chosen executor of the Dark Prognosticus...is Count Bleck. The fine fellow prophesied to come to this dimension...is also Count Bleck!"

Bowser commented, "I'll tell you who doesn't make a bit of sense...Count Bleck! Enough, release Queen Peach right now! I'm on a schedule over here!"

Count Bleck stated, "Count Bleck says NEVER! This queen is integral to fulfilling the prophecies... She will be brought to Castle Bleck and used to destroy all worlds...by Count Bleck!"

Luigi breathed, "Destroy ALL worlds?"

Mario jumped up and tried to jump on Count Bleck but was forced down by a magical forcefield. Mario looked confused as he thought, 'Why didn't that work?' Count Bleck opened his cloak as he cast a spell on Mario. In an instant, Mario was face down on the ground. Bowser's eyes were wide the minute he saw former son down on the ground like that.

Bowser whispered, "M-Mario?!"

Count Bleck stated, "This man deserves ridicule... Weaklings cannot face Count Bleck!"

Bowser shook his head to clear his thoughts about his former son and threated, "Hey, here's a thought: you calm down and free the queen...OR ELSE!"

Luigi joined the minions of Bowser as they all got into fighting stances. They were all ready to rumble...especially Bowser, wanting to play for keeps. But Count Bleck did not look worried.

Count Bleck commented, "Bleh heh heh heh. Your queen shall NOT be returned...by Count Bleck. In fact, Bowser, evil king of the Koopas...Count Bleck will take you too!"

With that, Count Bleck opened his cloak and it started to glow a bluish color. That's when a porthole opened and sucked in the minions. Bowser was eventually sucked in, losing his strong grip on the ground. Luigi eventually lost his footing and was sucked into the porthole. In an instant, Count Bleck was gone - taking Queen Peach with him.
