Because I feel that Luigi stories have been lacking recently, and I haven't seen a high quality Luigi pairing with Rosalina. I intend for this to be quite the adventure. Will be rated T for now unless demand for a change to whatever convinces me to do so. The intro is in third person, and I may switch the format of first-person to third-person in certain chapters, which I'll notify. Reviews and feedback appreciated! Hope you all enjoy!

Tale of the Green Comet

Intro

The bright ball of fire from the sky glared down, piercing the sky and sharing its essence with the environment. The weather had a slight breeze, just enough to have a single strain of hair stroke against one's own face. Leaves floated gently with the guidance of the wind, with some even landing on a familiar green-clad fellow.

Luigi gently opened an eye, lying against a small tree. The slight touch awakened him from brief slumber, though the plumber wasn't all too thrilled.

"Why do I react to everything…" the fellow groaned.

Years of adventure along his brother and many others, had conditioned Luigi to be able to react to the slightest stimulus. The ability had its drawbacks, apparent by Luigi's reaction. The issue had been recurring, moreso in recent times than ever before. And why? Because ever since Bowser's most recent defeat, the Mushroom Kingdom has not seen any disorder for weeks, which is a miracle within itself. This kind of peace hasn't been around since Mario had defeated Bowser after that damn reptile took over Princess Peach's castle. Sure, the peace was ruined when Luigi was suckered into thinking he had a new mansion, but that's not the point.

"This feels real weird...No kart racing, no sports, no parties, no ghosts, not even smashing. Just…free time." Luigi thought. This was the first time where he could simply sit down and try to nap. This wasn't enough for him, and he assumed for Mario as well. All these years of adapting to madness, it wasn't like they could just get used to it on the dime.

"Let's…go to town? I can't even remember when the last time I've shopped here."

With that, Luigi stood up, shivering a bit from the wind's quick breeze. All around him was simply green land, and quite frankly, he had no idea how the hell to get to the town area. Luigi had camped out for a few days, wanting to experience the nature he was no longer accustomed to.

"Damnit Luigi, uh…let's try this."

In a moment's notice, Luigi sprung up, pulling out a red star from underneath his cap. Instantly, Luigi's attire changed into a peculiar black and green style. Without any hesitation, Luigi jumped once more, spinning and beginning to float.

And then he fell.

"Oh come on, I can't use this star on this planet? Bummer, guess I'll have to borrow one of bro's old things." Luigi said, while pulling a single feather out of his cap. The feather seemed to have a reaction, strangely causing Luigi's cap to grow feathers as well.

"I don't wanna ask why", mumbled Luigi as he took off flying through the azure sky. Perhaps the red star didn't work because Earth has a different orbit. No matter the answer, the fact it isn't like a wing cap was stupid. That made him wonder as to where he got the red star in the first place. Events happen so quickly that it can get hard to keep track of.

"Did I get it from teaching kids to read when Mario went missing? Nah." All kinds of thoughts went through Luigi's head. Those thoughts were interrupted as he spotted Princess Peach's castle.

"Okay…which way from her-no, what? No! The winged cap has a time limit? No!"

In that moment, the piercing screams shattered through nature, filling the solemn silence with a blood curling scream. This didn't matter, since Luigi was only about a hundred feet off the ground. He stopped once he landed quickly, turning red in embarrassment.

"Please let no one have seen that. Damnit Luigi, you gotta get your act together before things like that happen. It's no wonder Daisy chose Waluigi over you."

With that, Luigi walked towards open cannon. Using his gut instinct, he picked a random direction while thinking of Daisy. He lost to Waluigi, and the most he's ever done was force people into dance-offs while trying to be a bad guy. Yet, Luigi lost Daisy's affection. The time away Luigi had in space took a drastic toll on the two's relationship with one another, with Daisy bonding to the far more daring and confident Waluigi. When Luigi found out upon returning, he knew that he could blame whatever he wanted to, whatever elements that were out of his hand, Mario, Yoshi, blame whatever. Blame Bowser Kid even though the bastard hasn't been seen in ages.

But Luigi knew the truth. The only thing he could blame was himself. And Luigi did just that, sulking and reeking of heartbreak. The only thing to get him out of that negative state of mind was Bowser attacking and causing Luigi to have no time to sulk over that matter. Now Bowser's gone, and Luigi has accepted that he will remain alone.

"I fucked up…" Luigi stated quietly, while the echo of a cannon spread, only leaving a flying Luigi as the culprit.

After what seemed like three minutes of flying, Luigi landed, or, crashed, in the town after around three minutes of flying.

"Ow ow ow!" he yelped, landing right on his bum.

Looking around, no one seemed to mind. That was understandable, considering how much shit the Mushroom Kingdom goes through. A flying man in green landing from the sky is nothing unusual by now. Though, some people recognized the plumber, high-fiving and greeting him. The attention was not for Luigi though, seeing as he was quite reserved. Wario would probably be basking in the interaction this instant, but not Luigi.

"What's…around here anyway?"

Luigi wasn't the guy to just go out and about to the busiest part of town in a shopping center, even before he turned into a hero. Visiting store after store, Luigi simply could not leave his shy shell, bringing in the same shyness to every purchase he made. Some purchases were free because "hey, it's Luigi", while some stuck with their business integrity. Before long, Luigi miraculously shoved everything into his cap.

"How do I do that anyway?"

Before that question could be answered, Luigi had recalled this one request that he had to complete for his dear friend Professor E Gadd. After making his last purchase, Luigi pressed the "L" on his cap, immediately vanishing and warping back home. Quickly stopping in to drop the bags, a quick "Hey, just going to test something and I'll be back Mario!" was heard. Before any response could be given, Luigi bolted, running to the nearby Forest Maze to test out Gadd's task. Luigi recalled their conversation:

"Okay Luigi, I really need you to try something for me. Over back in the Smash tournaments, you did this thing which did another thing with the Smash ball, which you call the Negative Zone. How did you do it?"

"I don't know actually, I kinda felt electricity all throughout my body, so I felt like I just sort of released it from every part of me, and I made the Negative Zone doing it."

"Sukusuku, Yabobyabo. Brilliant! Do you know what you had done?!"

Not really..-"

"Well you should! You use that electricity, and indirectly manipulate it to use the Higins Boson particle! What that does mean? It means you control a particle that breaks in a ten-sextillionth of a second! You manipulate the Higgs Field which creates an entanglement and then a wormhole, bringing out the Anti-Higgs particle which creates a giant wormhole of anti-matter around you that goes so fast through the speed of light that you slow time itself. Suk-"

"Yes yes, the suku cocoo stuff. I have no idea what this means Doc!"

"Just, try it without the Smash ball. Try to build electricity and…find the sensation, and just release it as fast as you can and let me know."

Luigi rushed towards Forest Maze, thinking of the conversation and how he was going to produce results that would need the strength of a Smash ball. He would try, but he couldn't guarantee anything.

"Where is everybody?"

Barely anyone was around, and to think about it, the town was way quieter when he finished shopping.

"Go" spoke an unknown voice, followed by a quick flash of darkness. Sitting high above the clouds, Bowser complied with the unknown voice, using its essence remaining to create a specialized Ztar. With Bowser gazing and listening to the voice, the king released the Ztar, watching it float down towards the Mushroom Kingdom.-

There was little pandemonium. This Ztar simply went to each and every individual it could sense, and released a portion of its power to incapacitate them. Minute by minute, thump by thump, everyone was dropping like flies. It only took mere moments before the town side of Mushroom Kingdom was silent from this attack. Yet, the Ztar continued, invading Peach's castle and causing incapacitation to every Toad, and Peach herself.

While this assault was ongoing, Luigi stood in the Forest, squatting and desperately trying to build electricity. The level of difficulty was absurd, making Luigi appreciate the power of the Smash ball far more. Unbeknownst to Luigi, the Ztar had already incapacitated Mario, and the Ztar. Luigi hadn't realized that if he hadn't warped out towards his home, he would have been gone with the rest of the civilians, seeing as the Ztar was beginning its mad assault when Luigi left. Neither did he know, the Ztar was headed towards him.

"Okay Luigi, look for that feeling, feel the electricit-wat" Luigi stammered, seeing a purple-black glow approaching at a furious rate.

"Buildelectricitybuildelectricitybuildbuild-"

"Build Luigi, build!" he screamed, unleashing a large amount of electricity from his body to make a Negative Zone that absolutely paled to what he could do during Smash tournaments. The radius was no more than a few feet. At the same time, the Ztar headed toward Luigi, unknowingly entering the Zone and unleashing part of its power to make the Zone go adverse. Luigi panicked, shrouded by darkness and fear as he was trapped in this stupid Zone that was going nuts, until he felt a small pierce. Gasping, the Negative Zone had ended abruptly, before noticing a small disturbance.

He absorbed the Ztar. Immediately, negative memories flooded his mind as a result. Daisy, his cowardice and fear, King Boo, Bowser, everything. Luigi felt himself falling into a step negative emotion, and was aware that this was due to the Ztar. Warping back home once more, Luigi prepared to launch a Launch Star, having one in his home. Immediately barging in, he noticed an incapacitated Mario, horrified at thoughts that perhaps he was permanently gone. The Ztar's effects took over once more, driving Luigi to run towards his basement.

And there it was. Up against a wall was a giant Launch Star. Beyond that is a tunnel built by Gadd to act as a pathway and ramp towards space. Not knowing how the Launch Star worked or where it went, Luigi hesitated before the Ztar's influence began to take over once more.

"I'm running…again…" Luigi stated, tears running down his face as he ran towards the star. Just as fast as he ran, he was soon in space, having passed out from the small trauma and abrupt travel.

For Rosalina, it was the average moment. Not sure what day or time, but just floating into a black abyss while watching her children Luma. As always, a tint of loneliness overcame her, wishing that something could distract her. It had been quite some time since she had company, and this bothered her. Some Luma came over to give affection, which gave Rosalina an occasional hug with a smile. She had her children, and that was enough to keep her happy. Rosalina's request for a distraction would answer immediately, as a man in green crashed on her observatory, frightening the Luma and having them run to her.

Rosalina scurried towards the man before recognizing him.

"…Luigi?"

And that is the introduction, hope you liked it! For a few notes to clarify to the audience:

1.) Luigi has never used a Wingcap in the games, but the idea comes from the fact that in the beta for Super Mario 64 DS, he could.

2.) This story occurs a few months after Super Mario 3D Land

3.) "Did I get it from teaching kids to read when Mario went missing?" comes from a reference to Mario is Missing.

4.) Super Mario RPG is where Forest Maze comes from, being the origin of the famed character Geno.

5.) The ramble with Gadd and the Higins Bosson, I used random beliefs from current events with science to formulate that. In no way is that accurate.

Hope you enjoyed! :)
