Author: Hello everyone! This is my first Mario fanfiction I've posted. This mostly for Luigi/Mr. L fans as the story is told through Luigi's P.O.V. nobody has ever made a story like this so I thought I would write one up my own. Now for those of you who are familiar with my work: the reason why I'm alone in the Author's Notes this time is because nobody in this story knows me yet, so yeah I'm alone this time but not for long.
Anyway this story will probably be my shorter ones since I'm more experienced with this, the first few times were because I didn't know it would upload the entire document. So instead of Parts I will upload by Chapter now to make it easier on myself. Now I apologize if I don't have Luigi's personality on the spot but hey it's a fanfiction nobody's perfect and everyone has their own different interpertation of their characters.
Now I hope you will all enjoy the story, especially those who are Luigi/Mr. L fans. I also don't own Mario or any of its characters they all belong to Nintendo.
Super Paper Mario
Luigi's Tale
Prologue: The Chaos Heart is Born
Hello, my name is Luigi Mario, but I'm sure you already knew that. You already know the story of my bro, the princess and Bowser (doesn't matter if you played the game or watch it on YouTube or something) right? But you have no idea the craziness I went through during my time in Count Bleck's… I mean Blumiere's castle. Oh? You say already have the general idea? … No, you have no idea. You may think you know everything Mario, my brother, went through, but no, not everything, he and I have been working together… but I'm getting ahead of myself. Allow me to tell you my side of the story… the story that was never told. Super Paper Mario from Luigi's point of view.
I'll start at the beginning… it was a nice day at home. Mario, my bro, and I were just sitting and relaxing, but to be honest I was almost getting bored.
"Such a nice day… it almost makes you wish something would happen." I said with a yawn.
Suddenly we heard shouting outside. "MARIO!"
"Luigi, always be careful what you wish for." Mario grumbled as I smiled sheepishly.
Both of us hurried outside to see the frantic Toad waving his arms around.
"M-Mario! The Princess has been kidnapped!"
"AGAIN? Mamma Mia that woman needs to learn to glue herself to the floor or something." Mario sighed.
"Bowser probably took her again bro; we better hurry and get her back." I said quickly. My bro nodded in agreement and we hurried towards Bowser's Castle.
Of course by now we knew the way to that overgrown turtle's castle. Even so, this place always gives me the creeps.
"Come on bro, I know Bowser's not the smartest Koopa in the world, but I highly doubt he would leave his front door open like this unless it was a trap." I'm usually the more cautious one here and the front door was wide open and inside was flooded with Koopas, Paratroopas, Koopatrols, Magikoopas and Goombas!
"You worry too much Luigi. Come on, let's hurry and get the princess." Mario said with confidence… ugh, wish I had that much confidence.
I didn't really know how to argue with my brother when he's made up his mind so I just followed him. Now many would think I was a coward and always jealous of my brother's fame… well the truth is; I could care less about the fame, if I really wanted it I could easily get it, but I didn't that's why I mostly stayed home. As for the coward part: I'm just more cautious because I rather not have my Game Over so soon.
Anyway, I should get back to the story. Mario, my bro, and I were squeezing ourselves through the sea of Bowser's minions and let me tell you: it was not a pleasure experience; I swear one of those spikes from the Koopatrol pierced through my overalls and into my skin!
"Who're those two with the facial hair? We SHAVE around here." I heard Bowser's voice roared before there was a sudden quake and the minion clustered suddenly cleared out.
"Mario! And Green Stache! How did you two get in here?" Bowser demanded. Of course he doesn't know my name, hardly anyone ever does. I may not like fame but that doesn't mean I like being forgotten and ignored.
"Your front door was open." Mario answered dully and I held back a chuckle seeing the dumbfounded look on the giant Koopa's face.
"WHAT? I THOUGHT I TOLD THM THE LAST ONE IN TO SHUT THE DOOR! NO WONDER I KEEP FAILING WITH SUCH INCOMPETENT SOLDIERS!" Bowser shouted and stomped his foot in frustration.
Both Mario and I glared. "Enough of your temper tantrum, where's the princess?" I demanded, hoping I sounded braver than I actually am.
Bowser stopped and looked confused. "Princess?"
"We know you kidnapped Princess Peach again, now where is she?" my brother demanded. Both of us got ready to fight… I never liked fighting the fire breathing giant dragon turtle, but I don't have much of a choice.
Bowser glared back at us and I felt myself tremble a little bit. "What are you talking about? I haven't kidnapped Princess Peach yet, I was just about to!"
Okay, now I'm confused and seeing the same expression on my bro he's as lost as I am. "But if you didn't take her… then who did?" I asked the question I'm sure that's on everybody's mind right now.
"MARIO! LUIGI!" as if on cue that familiar delicate voice shouted. All of us looked up to see Princess Peach herself trapped in some kind of box thing.
"Princess? What happened to you?" Mario shouted in concern.
"I-I don't know, I just woke up in this invisible box thing." Peach said in worry… I have a bad feeling about this.
Suddenly an unfamiliar voice out of nowhere said, "BLECK HEH HEH HEH! Count Bleck is the one who has taken the fair princess."
Then this… weird vampire like guy appeared out of thin air. His face was dark blue, he had this red eye that kept glowing while the other was covered in that one glasses thing. The guy wore a hat and wrapped himself in a cape and I can only see one hand sticking out while holding a staff… I'm pretty sure his other hand is somewhere in his cape.
"Who are you suppose to be? Princess Peach is mine to kidnap and mine alone!" Bowser bellowed.
"Count Bleck is my name. Bleck has his reasons for taking the fair princess and this reason is of most important." So his name is Bleck and he seems to like talking in third person.
Mario, my brother, wasn't going to have any of it. "You let her go right now!" he jumped trying to stomp on him, but to all of our surprise Bleck must be protected by some kind of invisible barrier because Mario just bounced off him.
I could tell my brother was stunned. "What a foolish human." Bleck said before some kind of purple and black vortex surrounded him.
"MARIO!" I cried… he's not going to kill him is he? Before I could do anything though, the vortex disappeared and revealed my brother unconscious on the ground.
"Now that he's out of the way, it's time for the plan to be put into action." Bleck suddenly opened his cape… what the…? His cape looks like parts of outer space or something. Suddenly he summoned a much larger vortex that began sucking everyone in including Bowser and all of his minions. I tried to hang on to the floor as it tried to get me too.
"Bro, wake up… I need…" I tried to wake him up; somehow the vortex's pull had no effect on him. But then my gloved hands chose a bad time to slip and I was getting pulled in.
"HEEEEELLLLLP!" I screamed when everything began spinning out of control and all went black.
… … Ugh… my head hurts. I'm not sure where I am but… I remember getting sucked into some kind of purple and black vortex. Wait… I hear voices, a lot of voices… they sound like they're cheering… what's going on?
I opened my eyes to see I all those Koopas, Paratroopas, Goombas, Koopatrols and Magikoopas everywhere and they seem to be cheering for something.
I slowly made it to my hands and knees (I was lying face down) before pushing myself to my feet and looked around… it looks like I'm in some kind of sanctuary. "Oh man… what's going on?" I asked aloud.
One Goomba actually answered me. "Isn't it obvious Mr. Green? King Bowser is about to marry Princess Peach. Man I never thought this day would come."
I jumped… Bowser is marrying Princess PEACH? Of all people this is insanity! I've got to stop this crazy wedding. I hurried towards the altar, pushing away anyone in my way.
I can see Bowser wearing a white tuxedo… that looks weird on him and Princess Peach wearing that wedding dress, but she looked just as shocked and disturbed as I was about this whole thing. I also saw that Count Bleck guy hovering over them and this lady that looked like one of those business types hovering next to him.
"Do you, Bowser, take Princess Peach as your lawful wife till your games end?" uh-oh, it's already starting and I'm still too far away.
"Marry Princess Peach? Heck yeah I do!" of course Bowser would agree to it! That's always been the main reason he kidnaps her.
Count Bleck turned to Princess Peach and I know she's not going to agree to this, but something tells me it's not going to be that easy, I better hurry.
"Do you, Princess Peach, take Bowser as your lawful wedded husband till your games end?"
Now I can see she's angry. "What's going on here? Why the heck am I wearing this tacky dress?"
"Isn't it obvious? This is your wedding dear princess."
"But WHY the heck would I be marrying BOWSER? This is a sham! I'm calling this whole thing off!" she shouted. Well said Princess!
Suddenly Peach fell down and she was surrounded by red lights. That lady with the glasses said, "Um yeah, I'm going to need you to be more cooperative, K? Now do you, Princess Peach, take Bowser as your lawful husband till your games end?"
Outta my way! I was so desperate to get there that I jumped on somebody… I hope they don't get too much of a headache. Almost there!
"N… no…" I could tell she was struggling. Whatever that lady's doing to her it must be mind control or something.
"You're a stubborn one I see, but still you can't resist my hypnotic power. 'I do' say it now, K?"
"No Princess! Stop!" I shouted, but I was still too far to be heard.
"Ugh… I… I… do." She was forced to say.
Just when I got close enough there was an earthquake! Everything started trembling and from the altar I sensed… yes, I SENSED something dark and powerful forming. A big black heart thing came out and floated there. I don't know why but something about it entices me to touch it… no! Snap out of it Luigi, you've got a princess to save since Mario is unavailable right now.
"At last, the Chaos Heart has been forged!" Bleck laughed evilly. Chaos Heart… that must be what it's called, that doesn't sound too good.
"Congratulations Count, now you can turn the next page of the Dark Prognosticus." the lady said sounding pleased but stayed professional.
"Hold it right there!" I can't take this sitting down anymore. I already let Peach down by letting her get married to that overgrown Koopa.
"Who are you? Bleck demands." yeah Bleck spoke for himself there.
"Nobody much, just your worst nightmare!" I snapped and out of anger and spite, I jumped on both Bowser's head and that black heart… Chaos Heart before I landed next to the 'bride'.
"Princess, are you okay?" I bend down but she was unconscious, I guess resisting that mind control really took a lot out of her.
Suddenly everything trembled, my balance was off and I fell next to her. I looked up to see the weird Chaos Heart's uh… 'light' if you could call it that, spiked suddenly and shockwaves were pulsing out like crazy. It became too much… I blacked out (again).
Chapter 1: The New Recruits
I opened my eyes to find myself in some kind of dark and spooky place. Everything was black and white… I mean literally; the entire floors and walls were black with white lines, it's almost something like out of a horror story book. I did notice the 'sky' was dark purple like that vortex earlier… why does it seem like when I lose consciousness I wake up in a different place? First that sanctuary and now this colorless place.
I wonder where Princess Peach is… I have to find her and get my hide out of this place that screams evil. Problem is: I have no idea where I am.
"Hey Green, you awake?" WHOA! Whose voice was that?
"Relax, it's only us Goombas. (This guy may be tough but he's such a coward)" I turned to see two Goombas.
"You startled me. Where are we?" I asked them.
"Isn't it obvious? We've been taken to the enemy's castle and its way creepier than King Bowser's. (How can you be so calm?)"
"We need to get out of here pronto, I've seen some of our fellow minions but they're acting all weird and seem to have forgotten everything and follow that woman's orders like zombies."
I didn't like the sound of that… that lady seems to have the ability to brainwash others to do her biding. "But what about the princess and Bowser?"
"I'm sure they'll be fine, but we have to get our hides out now! (Who cares about them? I just want to get out of here)"
"I know, but I can't just leave Princess Peach here." I grumbled.
"Oh come now, I never would've thought the legendary Luigi would abandon his fans like this!" the Goomba said that surprised me.
I get the feeling these guys weren't really my 'fans' if I had any. Still… it probably would be best to retreat and rethink, perhaps Princess Peach had escaped somehow. "Alright fine, but don't pull anything funny."
"You're amazing Luigi! (That was easier than I thought, the guy's a sucker)"
So I and the two Goombas walked across the long dark hallways. Most of the doors were locked so we were limited to where we can go.
I didn't know how long we spent trying to find a way out of this creepy place, but I'm not going to give up. I don't want to know what'll happen if we get caught. We had to keep ourselves hidden because there were a lot of apparent brainwashed minions walking around.
We soon came to a very long hallway, only for it to lead us into a DEAD END! "This isn't good, it's a dead end." the Goomba grumbled.
"I can see that." I sighed, Goombas tend to get panicky in sticky situations.
"We should probably go back…" the Goomba behind me said and suddenly he shouted, "GAAZORT!"
I jumped and spun around to see those similar red lights I saw on Princess Peach back at the 'wedding' surrounded him now and suddenly he jumped when those lights disappeared. The Goomba behind me and me looked at him before he blinked and shouted, "HAIL BLECK!"
"GARY NO!" oh, so his name was Gary?
Well Gary just got brainwashed I see and he went over to… the army that apparently caught up to us. There's that lady again, she must be the one who brainwashed him and I have a sinking feeling we're next.
"I have rooted out just about every stragglers and it seems you two are the last ones. I'll just pencil you both in for a 10:00 brainwashing, K?"
I think 10:00 is NOW. The Goomba from behind suddenly jumped in front, at first I thought he was going to fight her, but instead… "Hey lady, got room for one more on your team?"
HE'S BETRAYING ME! "Hey! What are you doing?"
"What does it look like moron? I'm joining the winning team. No reason to stick with you anymore." he said simply.
"Y-you dirty TRAITOR! I knew you were no fan of mine and you're nothing but a COWARD!" I snapped at him, but he didn't seem to care.
"Glad to have you on board, just pledge your eternal allegiance to Count Bleck and you're in." the lady said.
"Yeah! I serve and love that Count! Woo-hoo!" I outta stomp him beneath the earth for that!
"Okay guys, new agenda: hold down that fool so I can get his priority straight." she said to the army of brainwashed minions and one traitor.
Before I could react I was surrounded and they all held me down. I struggled as hard as I could but they had me at a point where I couldn't move a muscle! I was done for and I knew it. She approached me and flicked her glasses, my eyes went wide… I could hear my heart pounding against my chest in anxiety.
"No! MARIO! HELP ME!" I screamed for my brother, even though I knew he couldn't hear me and it was useless I was just too desperate.
The red lights came for me now. I struggled as hard as I could against them. I must resist…
"Give it up, stop resisting, you cannot escape from my hypnotic powers." I heard Nastasia's voice in my head… wait… how did I know her name? Ugh… she must've implanted that name in my mind and now she's… Count Bleck… I keep seeing him… no, no, I must resist!
But even as I resist I could feel myself slipping. Already I'm starting to forget… who's Princess Peach? Is that even her name? Do I even know a princess? My brother… what was his name? Maybe it was sister… or am I an only child? What's… my name again? I think it was Lui something… I'm losing it…
"No! Don't forget who you are LUIGI!" Huh? Whose voice was that? Luigi… that's my name, wasn't it?
"Listen to me… you can't forget who you are, or me or anyone else. I'm your brother Mario and you're Luigi, remember?" Mario? You… I remember you, yeah you're my brother, older by a couple of hours… uh… how are you talking in my head?
I could hear him chuckle. "I don't really know how myself, but I heard you crying for help in my head. I just closed my eyes and saw you suffering, about to be brainwashed and I just had to bring you back somehow."
Oh I remember now… yeah that lady… Nastasia had all her brainwashed minions hold me down and is now currently trying to brainwash me. I opened my eyes to see they weren't on me and Nastasia was nowhere in sight, just me in this big black of emptiness.
"You're not alone Luigi." I looked up and smiled to see my brother Mario is here as well. I ran up and hugged him and I was glad he hugged back.
Oh Mario! I'm so glad you're here! But… where are we?
"I think this is the deep core of our minds Luigi."
How are we both here?
"I think I remember someone once told us that when we were babies we've always had a strong link together. Perhaps that link is what brought us here when your mind became endanger."
If that's the case what's going to happen to me when Nastasia is done? Wouldn't I just forget everything again? I'm… scared.
Mario put a hand on my shoulder and smiled warmly. "The moment I called out your name, Luigi, was the moment she lost the battle with your mind. She just doesn't realize it. By the time she's done you'll wake up still as my brother Luigi."
Well that's good and all, but if she realizes she hadn't brainwashed me wouldn't she try again or end my game?
"You may be right bro, but that's why you must pretend to be someone else and she'll be none the wiser."
Be someone else? Like who and for how long?
"Try to be someone mean and cocky, always itching for a fight. Be the opposite of you, Luigi. As for how long… as long as you can, you can be our spy for the enemy."
That sounds risky bro, I never had to be something I'm not and I never had to be a spy before… what if I mess up?
"You'll have to believe in yourself little bro, I can't always be there. Look, just have confidence in yourself, remember to act mean and cocky but avoid actually tuning into that, and report to me the next time we have this link."
Sure bro… it's not like I have much of a choice anyway.
"You can do it. I have faith in you little brother. Now go, you better wake up. I'll be counting on you, Luigi." Mario said as he hugged me again just before I closed my eyes.
I can hear voices crowding around me as I slowly opened my eyes. Good, Mario was right; I'm still me, but I have to act like I'm somebody else for this plan to work.
"You may arise now, new recruit." I heard Nastasia's voice said to me.
The other minions backed away from me as I slowly stood up, mostly for dramatic effect but also because I'm a little sore after being tackled and held to the floor like that. I tried to do an evil smirk but… I'm pretty sure it looked like a strain grin. I'm going to need to work at this.
"From this day forth you are known as Mr. L and you are loyal to Count Bleck, correct?" Nastasia said and wanted to make sure she really had brainwashed me. Why the heck did she call me 'Mr. L'? It makes me sound old… I know I have the letter 'L' on my cap but come on!
"Yes Nastasia, I am. Hail Count Bleck." I said with as much respect and a little bit of cockiness in there… this might not be so hard after all.
"Good, now the schedule is complete. Now, time to send you new recruits to the Training Room, come follow me, K?"
All of us followed her. I wasn't sure which Goomba was Gary or the one who betrayed me, but if I ever find out… I'm getting my revenge one way or another. Stand me up like that and just wait until Bowser hears about this.
Nastasia lead us into a big room, it's just as black and white as the other rooms, but it is pretty big and a lot of… uh… minions were here too.
"This is the Training Room. You may use this room to improve your skills as you like. Now you new recruits will stay here until I have assigned you your chamber rooms and once that is done be prepared to take on a mission from me, Count Bleck or from a higher rank minion. That is all for now, just do your best K?" and with that she fixed her glasses and left us here.
I was wondering what we should do now but it looks like the brainwashed minions always knew what to do as they just went on their way and talked to the other brainwashed minions. Only me and one Goomba remained by the entrance and I know this is the same Goomba who betrayed me earlier. Ohhh I wanted to smash him so bad but held back because if I did that now it would only give me away and I can't afford to be brainwashed for real.
"So uh… what are we suppose to do?" the Goomba asked me as if I should know myself.
I answered, "We should talk to the others and begin our training." and with that I left him there not wanting to talk to him after what he did.
As I walked around the large room and saw many different species going at each other I wondered if I should have a training partner or something. I can't just stand and watch all day it'll look too suspicious not to mention boring since I wouldn't be doing anything for a while.
"Hey there Green Man you new?" a voice suddenly said from behind me that caused me to jump ten feet in the air… no seriously.
"Wow that is some jump you got there." it turns out the voice belonged to a Squeek, you know one of those Little Mousers small mice-like creatures with the bandana covering their eyes. This one was orange and it's strange because I've never seen an orange Squeek before.
"Uh… um…" I stuttered trying to regain my composure and try to act like a mean jerk like Mario had said.
"What are you doing here you little… mouse thing! Don't sneak up on me like that!" I tried to snap but it sounded more like a strain way to scold someone.
The orange Squeek chuckled and said, "Let me guess: you're not really brainwash so you're trying to act like the opposite of yourself so you won't draw suspicions is that it?"
I gasped, "H-how did you know?" was I already busted?
"Oh relax before you start panicking. I haven't been really brainwashed myself either. I don't really know how but somehow I was able to bypass that Nastasia's hypnotic powers without her realizing it and retain my sense of self and memories. Ever since then I've been acting like the opposite of me until I can find a way out of this crazy place. And as for how I knew…well you're not exactly the best actor in the world."
I looked around and noticed something, "You're the only Squeek I see here."
"Yes I suppose I am. I was at the wrong place at the wrong time I guess. Anyway my name is Mouzchu but Nastasia calls me Masked Mouser just because of the mask I wear on my face. She's not very creative when it comes to names."
I couldn't help but chuckle, "Tell me about it; she called me Mr. L but my actual name is Luigi."
"Luigi? Aren't you the brother of that famous Mario guy?"
Now I'm surprised, someone actually knew who I am? "You know me?"
"Well of course I know you who wouldn't? You've helped Mario quite a few times in your quest. I'd figure you were as famous as your brother."
"No not really, but that's beside the point. Right now if we don't start training wouldn't the others get suspicious?" I pointed out.
Mouzchu just laughed and said, "I highly doubt it all these brainwashed minions only have one thing in mind: obey, training and obey the Master. Anyone working under Count Bleck and is a higher rank is automatically their master, it's sad really. The ones we got to worry about are Count Bleck himself, Nastasia especially and the three highest rank elite minions in the castle."
"Who are they?" I asked curiously.
"I've got the inside info on each of them but it's not that much since they rarely like to hang out with us low ranks and newbies. But here's the scoop: O'Chunks is the lowest of the elites but don't underestimate his strength, they say that he's the strongest when it comes to brute strength alone but his brain isn't all that bright. Next is what appears to be a little girl named Mimi, don't let her innocent act fool you she is dangerous, from what I hear she can shape-shift and is a rather spoiled brat. Last but not least a jester fellow named Dimentio, I believe he's the highest of the elites but I'm not entirely sure, he's intelligent and demented, they say he's the master of dimensions and I don't know about you but I sure don't ever want to mess with an insane yet powerful fellow like him."
I let it all sink in… three elites, one of brute strength, another is a shape-shifter and the last is an insane, intelligent master of dimensions… yup, definitely guys I wouldn't ever want to mess with.
"But hey maybe if we can prove ourselves in missions we can move up in the ranks and eventually they'll give us a mission outside of this dimension and we can actually escape out of this nightmarish place." Mouzchu added.
"That's a good plan but… if I act like myself they'll know something. After all if a guy supposedly brainwash is too nice there's something wrong here. I need to act cocky, mean, someone always itching for a fight, a total opposite of Luigi." I said.
Mouzchu put a hand on his… chin… does he even have one? Anyway he thought of an idea, "Well maybe I can help you act like a total jerk and maybe even give you better wardrobe then that tacky green shirt and blue overalls it makes you look like a plumber."
"That's because I am a plumber."
"Well you're not anymore, not as Mr. L anyway. I have just the thing, follow me, these mindless slaves will continue to go at it for hours they'll never know we left."
"Um alright, but what if Nastasia comes back?"
"She keeps a tight schedule and she won't be back until tomorrow morning at 8:00 sharp, so we've got plenty of time."
Huh… how could you tell if it's night or day here? There's not even a blasted clock in this infernal colorless place! Oh well, maybe Mouzchu could teach me how to tell time here too.
So I followed Mouzchu out of the Training Room and into another room though they all look the same to me. Mouzchu opened a wardrobe, "Alright, let's see what would fit a bad boy like 'Mr. L'? Hmm…"
Mouzchu took out a black overall and black shirt. "Hmm… this could work for you."
I've never worn anything different from my blue overalls and green shirt before, not even when I was a baby so changing my looks feels odd. Not only did he give me those black clothes (as if I was goth or something) he even forced me to change my white gloves and brown shoes to gray! Then he made me wear a green scarf around my neck and even clipped a yellow belt around my waist.
"Something else is missing… oh yeah! Put this mask on." Mouzchu gave me a black mask the same like his. I didn't really know why he wanted me to wear this but whatever, he's helping me so I might as well.
"Now you look like a real bad boy, all we've got to do is work on your acting." Mouzchu said proudly after I had changed… this is definitely strange for me.
"Why did you color the white circle on my hat black and turned the 'L' backwards?" I asked annoyed that he messed with my precious hat.
"Trust me it'll work better besides you can clean off the paint and reverse the 'L' when we've escaped this dreaded place. Now let's work on your acting. Now say I was Nastasia and I've decided to talk to you about finding someone, how should you react?"
"Uh… yes ma'am!"
"No, no! You're supposed to act like a jerk not an obedient dog, try again."
Okay… how about I act like Waluigi then? "And why should I help you?"
"Not quite but you're getting close. Don't decline just say yes but with a more 'I-hate-you' kind of way."
"Yes I'll help but only because I have to!" I tried snapping… but with a shake of Mouzchu's head that wasn't right either.
"This could take longer than I thought." he sighed.
I scratched my head, "I'm just not the 'bad boy' type."
"Well not to worry, I'll turn you into a 'bad boy' before this day is through. Hopefully you'll be good enough actor to trick Nastasia, she's no dummy, the only reason she didn't notice your terrible acting earlier was because she was busy." Mouzchu said.
"I'll have you know I went undercover before in a pink dress as Princess Peach from a gender confused Bowser!" I snapped wanting to let him know I am NOT a terrible actor! Uh… I probably shouldn't have said that because now he's laughing his tail off at me.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! No wonder you can't act like a jerk you acted like a pretty little princess before."
"Knock it off!" I felt my face grew red. It wasn't the only time I had to wear a dress and pretend to be a girl (I told my brother Mario about what happened in that village during his Crystal Star quest) but I wisely kept my mouth shut this time.
Finally the laughing Squeeks calmed down, "Well that was a good laugh, but we're not trying to act like a princess this time so…"
"I know! I know!" I grumbled.
"Alright, let's try this again. I'm Nastasia and I want you to go capture somebody, how do you react to this?"
"I'll catch them no problem!"
"No Luigi, that's too friendly."
How hard is it to act like an evil sadistic jerk? Waluigi made it look so easy!
"They shouldn't be too hard to get!"
"Nope."
"I can run faster than them!"
"Try again."
"They're slower than me!"
"Are you even trying?"
"Hey I'm running out of ideas here!"
"Ugh… you're way too nice that's the problem. You're subconsciously holding yourself back from acting mean at all even if it's fake." Mouzchu sighed.
I sighed too as I sat down. Mouzchu is right I really don't want to act mean or evil, even if it's just acting I still can't see myself doing or saying such things, even to Bowser or King Boo.
"We're going to need a lot of practice… maybe we could do some minion watching." I suggested though that sounded better in my head.
"Minion… watching… that might work…" Mouzchu suddenly said.
"It… would?" I didn't think it would be the best of ideas since everybody who got brainwashed are a bunch of zombies.
"Well no not the lower ranks I'm talking about the elites like Dimentio. Perhaps if we could watch them you could take notes or something and act similar to them."
"And how are going to do that? You told me they rarely ever show themselves to newbies and low ranks like us."
"That's a good question."
"Maybe it would be easier to just act like a mindless zombie, I mean that's how all the other brainwashed minions act anyway, no reason for me to act like an evil sadistic person." I said in relief that I didn't have to act like that.
"Well you do got a point there but Nastasia rewards those who have… intelligence I guess you could say, like their own free will but still serve Count Bleck, that's why the top minions are the elites, they have their own mind and personality." Mouzchu explained.
Suddenly we heard a girl's voice snapping at someone, "I thought I told you not to look into my diary Dimentio!"
We looked over to see a green girl with a square head and pigtails and she seems to be wearing a fashion red dress and she's pretty peeved too.
"Oh we're in luck looks like Mimi decided to come into the Training Room to vent on her frustrations." Mouzchu said.
So that's Mimi… boy she sure can throw a tantrum.
"Ugh! I HATE that he can teleport and turn invisible! My diary is never safe from that clown!" Mimi snapped as she jumped on a poor Koopa into his shell and kicked it like a soccer ball… eh, then again Mario and I do that every day.
"If only I could… grrrr…" the girl kept griping until she turned and saw me.
"Oh? I've never seen you before you must've been one of the new recruits Nastasia found today. You know… you look like a real bad boy." she said studying me.
Not one for a lot of attention especially from a girl I hid my face by tipping my cap despite wearing a mask, like I said wearing these clothes will take some getting use to.
"Well whatever, if you're like all the other mindless minions Nastasia brainwashed then you're nothing more than a robot, I mean all they ever say is 'Hail Bleck' now I'm loyal to the Count everything but that's just boring, no wonder nobody else could become elite minions. Now I better find a better hiding spot for my diary or that Dimentio will read it again!" Mimi grumbled as she walked off.
I sighed in relief as Mouzchu stood beside me, "She's right you know, if you don't get the right attitude you're never going to raise up in the ranks."
"I don't know Mouzchu being mean is just not my thing." I said in doubt.
"Yes I can tell, but don't worry we can make it work. Now as you have just seen Mimi is a rather spoiled brat, perhaps we can somehow mix that in your 'Mr. L' personality." the orange Squeek winked.
"Acting spoiled? Ugh… I get enough of that with the Toad's attitude not to mention Wendy Koopa." I cringed as I remembered that she-Koopa one of Bowser's kids, she's even more troublesome and spoiled then Mimi.
"Well… maybe we could mix in the other two's attitude as well, but for now let's just pretend we're mindless obeying dogs." Mouzchu said.
"Okay I can do that."
To Be Continued...
Author: Again I apologize if any of the characters are not spot on but like I said it's a fanfiction. I always believed that Mario and Luigi shared a mental link with each other as shown in Yoshi's Island when the Yoshis helped save Baby Mario, Baby Luigi and the stork from Kamek and Baby Bowser. So my theory is whenever one is in danger and separated they are able to communicate with each other through their dreams and perhaps eventually they'll be able to do so while awake.
I believe that Luigi has a hard time acting cruel and mean because it's just not his personality, you can disagree with me if you want but that's how I portray him as. So acting like the Mr. L we know will take a while for him. Now having Luigi as a spy is an interesting concept and it gives more credibility to Mario, Peach and Bowser for not recognizing him as it is painfully obvious Mr. L is Luigi, they just don't want to blow his cover since you never know when someone could be watching like Dimentio for example, but that'll be discussed later.
Anyway this 'Chapter' is long because I had the prologue with it, but starting next Chapter it will just be by one chapter each, but they're all pretty long in my opinion so you'll have more to read and enjoy. Now please leave a review on what you think and don't be too harsh if you don't like it. See ya next time!
