I do NOT own! Not even the basic Plot, There are some differences (Like mine is a more serious/ Hurt-comfort deal), Like in the ending. Please no flames. Please give opinion, ideas, tips on how it can be improved and so on. Also I am aware that it is not Merlin but another wizard (At least I think). But Imma just roll with it like a boss cuz it's fanfiction.
Also I highly recommend you watch the stupid Mario bros episodes and movies, especially if you like random stupid/ funny things. It's really good for a laugh and also has some slightly serious parts (hint Act 2 part 2-5)
I do NOT own anything Mario bros or stupid mario bros, I'm just giving an alternate path with insight to the thoughts of some of the characters.
Luigi's PoV
I couldn't believe my ears when Mario had told me Link had been killed. Sure, I wasn't as close to him as Mario was, and I sure as heck wasn't as close to him as Wario had been. I don't really know, something just hurt on the inside. Mario had stormed out of the house, my guess was to go talk to Merlin, who knows.
Out of nowhere I began to have a major headache. "Gaw!" I half yelled as I stood, nearly losing my balance. Ash looked over to me, question in his eyes.
"You okay, dude?" I waved it off and told him I just needed some rest; which is exactly what I decided to go do. I thought that maybe I could sleep it off, but boy was I ever wrong.
I found myself standing in nothing but darkness. "What's going on? Where is everyone?" I yell to nobody in particular. "Hello!"
Suddenly a dark shadow forms in front of me. Then right before my eyes it turns into a person... Me!
"Hello, Luigi." He says menacingly. Somehow I already knew who it was and I did not like where this was heading. And I'd like to emphasize on the NOT!
"Nox Decious." I say as angrily as I could possibly muster up.
"Now, now. No need to be so hostile, my friend. I am not here to fight with you." I REALLY did not like where this was going.
"Ha! You can't fool me, Nox! And I am NOT your friend!" He laughs as if I just told a very funny joke.
"In time, you will see." He answers at confusion.
"Get out of my head!" I try to fight. I can feel my headache worsening, probably all thanks to this hijacker.
"Don't you see, Luigi? The irony that stands before you."
"I won't listen to you!" I yell in an attempt to block him out, however covering my ears did little to help.
"Compared to you, Mario is weak! Yet he is always the one who leads the way in every quest. Every mission. You follow blindly and let him receive all the credit, even when you did more work than he did. Have you ever once thought that you should be the one to lead the way, be the one to get the praise, the glory, the fans? You're obviously the more talented brother. The stronger, and better looking. Why does Mario get to have everything while you get nothing!? Not even so much as a thanks from even him!"
"Shut up!" I yell, backing away a step. Sure I have felt a little jealous of Mario before. Yes, I wanted to know what it felt like to lead the way. But he's my brother, I came to terms with my place in this story. At least I thought I did.
I know how important my role is; to be the one to give him the extra push he needs to rescue the princess and save the kingdom. Or, I thought I knew.
But for some reason, his words begin to make me doubt my own loyalty to my brother. "Come on, Luigi! You gotta wake up! Don't fall for it!" I told myself sternly.
"You can't get to me, Nox! I won't let you!" I force myself to think straight to get the words out. "I know what you can do to peoples' thoughts and I won't let you do that to me! I'm not as weak as the other's you've controlled in the past!"
"Of course not, my dear Luigi. Haven't you been listening to me?"
"Get Out!" I yelled, trying to get my point across his thick skull... Did he have a skull? He was technically dead.
"You don't need HIM, Luigi! Let your anger take over." What anger? I'm not angry.
"Leave.. Me.. Alone!" I start to grow tired.
"Let the darkness consume you." No! Not a chance!
"Never!"
"I know all your deepest, darkest thoughts, Luigi. Deep down I know you want to! Do it and you can finally get rid of the only thing standing in you way. Mario! He's the one holding you back, I'm just trying to free you from your binds. He's the real villain, not me."
"NOOO!" I yell as I bolt out of my bed. I was covered in sweat from the encounter in my dream.
It was just a dream. I try to convince myself by repeating it over, but I knew it wasn't just a dream. Nox Decious was back. This time his target was me...
My headache was still there and I could feel something changing slowly within in me. God no. I can't, I refuse to give into his power. I just hope I can hold it together long enough to tell Mario...
"Mario." I sigh. I don't hate him... Do I? "NO! Never! It's just Nox trying to mess with your head! Keep it together, Luigi!" I'm seriously going to have to talk to him, maybe he can get Merlin to figure out how to destroy Nox Decious for good.
five hours later
I found myself getting more and more easily irritated and it increased rapidly. I know that I need to tell Mario now, I mean I finally managed to find him. And here we are, sitting right next to each other, but I can't seem to come out and say anything... Afraid I might just blow up and say something I shouldn't just because of how unpredictable I had been all day. Not long after I woke up from my 'dream' I had snapped at Ash and kicked him out of the house just because he kept talking about pokemon. It was normal for Ash and normally I could ignore it, but for some reason I just snapped.
Mario, sadly much to my annoyance, was the first to speak; breaking me out of my thoughts.
"Link was a great warrior. And a great friend." He sighed. "I never thought he would go out like this." As much as I agree with him, I couldn't find it in myself to really care much at the moment, all I was concerned about was telling him what was happening to me.
I couldn't think of what to do, but I had to say something to keep him from prying into my thoughts like he always does. Man and all I wanted to do was tell him about my incident... SO why can't I?!
"I know. I'm really going to miss him." I couldn't have sounded less detached. Dang it!
He looks over to me, I can tell he's concerned. I was half thrilled by that, maybe then I could come out and say it if he pushed...
"Luigi. Is something wrong, you don't look so good?" He asks. "Have you been getting any sleep lately?"
Just tell him! I yell in my head.
But no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't.
Stupid Nox, he did something, I know it. I could feel my willpower getting weaker and weaker.
"Yeah, why?" I ask, more annoyance in my tone than I liked to think there was. No that's not what I wanted to say! There is something wrong, Mario! Nox is doing something to me and I can't break whatever hold he has on me. I feel like if we don't do something fast he's going to have full control over me and hurt everyone! Help!
"You seem... I don't know-" He started.
"Seem what!?" I yell. No. Don't! Stop!
"Are you feeling ok-" He asked, more concerned than before.
"Of course I'm not feeling okay! I just lost a friend! Why would I be okay!" I don't mean that, Mario!
"I- I'm sorry, Luigi. That was really insensitive of me." No I'm the one who's sorry.
"I- I just thou-" He started only to be rudely yelled at... By me...
"What!? That I can't handle the situation as well as you!?" What does that have to do with anything?
"I'm not saying that at all! What does that have to do with anything?" Thank you!
"I'm not as weak as you think I am, Mario! I am every bit as powerful as you!" When did power ever come up? Ah! You know what just shut up!
"No one is questioning your power, Luigi." Now I could see he was really starting to get worried.
"You're always out shining me! Why did you go and fight Nox Decious all alone? Was I not good enough for you to let me help? Were you embarrassed to let me go with you?!" No... It can't be...
"Where is this all coming from!?" He tried not to yell back, but failed. Inside I cringe.
...My deepest thoughts...
Finally I could feel my control coming back... But by now I was too in shock to remember why I even wanted to talk to him in the first place...
"I- I... Don't really... Know." I pause, I felt the air leave me as if I was punched in the gut. "I'm just... gonna go rest for a bit..." I make my way as far from my brother as possible... As fast as possible. I didn't turn back when I heard him call my name. I knew he must have been very confused and worried... I know I was. "I'm...Sorry Mario. Please forgive me." I whispered, knowing he couldn't hear me.
How was that? let me know what you think plz :) Also, I have all the chapters finished, Let me know if you want me to post it all at once or every other day.
