Luigi and Daisy were sitting on the couch at Luigi's mansion watching TV. Suddenly the door to their mansion was kicked open.
Tatanga stepped in and said "I'm here for the princess."
Luigi jumped up and stood between Daisy and Tatanga and said "if you want her, you'll have to go through me."
"Ok" Tatanga said as he pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Luigi.
Daisy grabbed a book off a table by the couch and threw it at Tatanga. The book hit him in the wrist, causing him to drop the gun. Luigi ran over, tackled him and punched him in the jaw as hard as he could, knocking Tatanga unconscious. Daisy walked over and hugged Luigi.
Suddenly they heard a voice say "clone zero-nine-seven report."
Luigi rolled Tatanga over and saw a radio clipped to his belt.
"Clone zero-nine-seven come in!" the voice said again.
Luigi picked up the radio and said "who is this?"
"This is Tatanga" he said "it appears you were able to defeat one of my clones."
"One of them?" Luigi asked.
"Yes" Tatanga said "I have many more, one hundred and forty-nine more to be exact. Far too many for you and your brother to defeat; but since you two often surprise me with your strength and cunning, I have armed my clones. You and your brother and that pink princess will die. Then the fair Princess Daisy will be all mine."
"That's what you think" Luigi said.
"Well" Tatanga said "since you are so confident, let us see how you deal with five clones. Things may get hot for you. Clone squad seven, attack!"
They heard a noise outside. Luigi looked out the door and saw five clones running toward the mansion. He saw that one of them had a flamethrower and the others had rifles. He quickly grabbed the pistol that the first clone had dropped. He took careful aim and fired at the clone holding the flamethrower. The bullet hit him between the eyes, the clone immediately fell. Luigi quickly began shooting the other clones, killing all four of them.
Then he looked at Daisy and said "I've gotta get to Mario and Peach."
Daisy smirked and said "don't you mean we have to get to Mario and Peach?"
Luigi smiled slightly and said "I thought you would say something like that. Ok, grab a weapon and let's go."
Daisy looked down at her dress then she looked at Luigi and said "I'll be right back."
She ran upstairs and came back down a few minutes later wearing jeans, a yellow tee shirt and tennis shoes.
"Ready" she said smiling.
They ran out to the dead clones. Luigi grabbed an M-14 with a silencer and a scope, he picked up all the clips he could find and put them in his pockets. Daisy took the flamethrower off of a clone and strapped it onto her back. Then she grabbed a .357 revolver and put it in her belt and put all the .357 bullets she could find in her pocket. Then they began running toward Peach's castle. Meanwhile at the castle, Mario was trying to hold the doors shut as six clones were trying to pull them open. The clones began to over power him and pull the doors open. Mario looked through the gap where the doors were being opened.
When he saw the clones had guns, he looked over his shoulder and said "Peach, go hide."
Then he heard a very quiet, strange sound and saw one of the clones fall. He heard the sound again and another clone fell. The clones began looking around.
Suddenly he heard Daisy yell "Mario, get back!"
He took several steps back, then he felt a sudden burst of heat and saw flames engulf the clones outside the doors. All of the clones fell one by one. Then the door was pulled open and Mario saw Daisy with a flamethrower.
He looked at her and said "don't get me wrong, thanks for the help; but what's with the flamethrower?"
Daisy smiled and said "Tatanga gave his clones guns, so it's only fair if we have them."
"Ok" Mario said "by the way, what was that weird sound?"
"That was me" Luigi said as he walked up to them "silenced rifles do sound weird don't they?"
"Yeah" Mario said "so what's with the Tatangas and the guns?"
"Well" Luigi said "Tatanga made a lot of clones of himself and gave them guns to kill me, you and Peach so he could have Daisy to himself."
"I see" Mario said "so I guess he doesn't know that Daisy would rather die than marry him."
"Apparently not" Daisy said.
Peach walked up and asked "why do you two have guns?"
"We'll explain later" Daisy said "in the meantime, Peach go get out of your dress and put on shorts and a tee shirt or something."
"Why?" Peach asked.
Daisy sighed and said "just do it."
"Ok" Peach said as she turned and walked toward the stairs.
Luigi looked at Mario and said "find yourself a weapon bro, you're gonna need it."
"Ok" Mario said.
He walked out and took an M-60 from a dead clone and began to put ammo belts over his shoulder. Soon Peach came down in pink shorts and a pink tee shirt with pink tennis shoes.
Daisy rolled her eyes and said "yeah, that's subtle and unnoticeable."
"What?" Peach asked.
"Nothing" Daisy said "grab a gun and let's go."
"I don't like guns" Peach said.
"Learn to like them" Luigi said "you're going to need one."
"But, I don't like them" Peach said "they are loud."
Daisy let out a frustrated sigh and said "for the love of, grab a gun and be ready to shoot it or stay here all alone with a bunch of Tatanga clones running around!"
"Ok, ok I'll get a gun" Peach said.
She walked out and picked up a mini Uzi.
"So, how many clones are there?" Mario asked.
"There were a hundred and fifty" Luigi said "but, we've killed twelve so there are a hundred and thirty-eight left."
Luigi saw that Peach didn't pick up any ammo.
"Grab all the magazines you can find Peach" he said "We'll need all the ammo we can get."
"I don't think we are going to have time to read, Luigi" Peach said.
Luigi rolled his eyes and shook his head then he said "Mario, help her."
Mario looked at Peach and said "the little rectangle containers with bullets in them, Peach. Grab as many as you can find."
"Oh" she said "you could have just said that, Luigi."
Luigi sighed and said "I probably should have. Anyway let's go."
"Where?" Mario asked "we don't know where he is."
"Well" Luigi said "the type of radio the clone had only works up to about twenty miles, and he probably went to Sarasaland first to try Daisy's castle, so I thought we could start looking there."
"Sounds like a plan" Mario said.
They began walking toward Sarasaland; soon Luigi said "stop."
He pointed down a hill. They looked and saw a single clone standing in the open.
"Probably a scout" Luigi said.
Mario smiled and said "let's go get him."
"Wait" Luigi said "I think I can get him from here."
"No way" Mario said "he's at least a hundred and fifty yards away, let's just charge him."
"Let me try to get him" Luigi said "if I miss, you can charge him."
"Fine" Mario said.
Luigi laid down and took aim. He slowed his breathing and began to squeeze the trigger. When he fired, they all watched the clone. The clone immediately dropped its gun and fell to its knees then collapsed face first and lay still.
"Wow" Mario said.
"Nice shot" Daisy said.
"Thanks" Luigi said as he stood up.
"Let's keep going" Mario said.
They didn't see another clone for almost half an hour.
"This is easy" Peach said.
"Too easy" Luigi said.
"Yeah" Daisy said "I've got a bad feeling."
Suddenly they heard machine gun fire.
"Take cover!" Luigi yelled.
Peach ducked down behind a rock, Mario got behind a tree, Luigi and Daisy laid behind a log. Luigi peeked over the log and saw a small building made of sticks with a heavy machine gun barrel sticking out of it.
"What do we do?!" Peach called out.
"We charge it" Mario said.
"No!" Luigi said "That's not a good idea!"
Mario smirked at him and said "last time we did it your way, now we do it my way."
Mario jumped out from behind the tree and began running toward the machine gun nest firing his M-60. A bullet hit his shoulder. Mario quickly ran and ducked behind a rock.
"Mario!" Luigi yelled "Are you ok?!"
"Yeah" Mario said "it's just a scratch on the arm."
Luigi sighed in relief, then he said "does anybody else wanna try that or do you want to listen to me?"
"We'll listen" Daisy said.
"Ok" Luigi said "hey Peach."
"Yes?" Peach replied.
"When he has to reload, me and you are going to distract him" Luigi said.
"Ok" Peach said.
Luigi looked at Daisy and said "while me and Peach distract him; I want you to sneak over to the right side and when I give the word, light it up."
"Got it" Daisy said.
The firing stopped, Luigi peeked over the log and saw the clone reloading.
"Now!" he said.
Luigi popped up and fired three rounds at the machine gun nest. Daisy began sneaking around.
Then Peach yelled "Hey, what's the matter?! Can't hit us?! You have that big gun and you can't even kill two plumbers and two princesses?! I bet you couldn't even shoot an elephant!"
Luigi looked and saw that Daisy was in position.
The machine gun started firing again.
"Daisy!" Luigi yelled "NOW!"
Daisy began spraying the machine gun nest with flames.
"Burn, you alien scum, burn!" She yelled as she sprayed the nest.
Once the nest burned down, Daisy yelled "clear!"
Luigi ran over to Mario and began looking at his shoulder.
Once he had bandaged it, he looked at Daisy and said "great job."
"Thanks" Daisy said "and way to go on the distraction, Peach."
"Thank you" Peach said smiling.
"Here they come!" Mario said pointing in front of them.
They looked and saw about thirty clones running toward them.
"Call it Luigi" Daisy said.
Luigi looked around and said "uh…uh…we…we gotta…uh…we gotta…Mario, here's your chance! Mow 'em down!"
Mario smiled and pointed his M-60 toward the clones and began firing, moving the barrel side to side, spraying the clones with bullets.
"Yahoo!" he yelled as he sprayed them.
They heard a click. Mario looked down and saw that the M-60 was empty. He took one of the belts off of his shoulder and started reloading. The clones took advantage and quickened their pace. Peach raised her Uzi and began firing at the clones. She emptied her entire magazine, but didn't hit a single clone; but she slowed them down and gave Mario time to finish reloading. He opened fire and finished killing the clones.
Daisy walked over to Peach and said "nice going Peachy, but next time fire in short bursts. It makes you more accurate and saves ammo."
"Ok" Peach said "how do I reload it."
Daisy chuckled and showed Peach how to reload the Uzi.
"Ok, let's keep moving" Mario said.
Soon they reached the Sarasaland border.
"Look" Peach said pointing to something.
They all looked and saw a large spaceship.
"Well" Mario said "you were right Luigi."
"What's the plan?" Daisy asked.
"Well" Luigi said "by my count we've killed about forty-five or fifty clones, that means Tatanga still has about one hundred left. So attacking the ship now would be suicide. We need to set a trap and get them where we want them."
"What's the trap?" Mario asked.
"Follow me" Luigi said.
He led them to a small intersection.
"Ok" Luigi said "Mario I want you in that house with your gun out that window. That should give you cover and let you fire anywhere in the intersection."
"Ok" Mario said.
"Peach" Luigi said.
"Yes" she replied.
"I want you with Mario" Luigi said "shoot any clones that get too close and cover Mario when he has to reload."
"Got it" Peach said.
"Daisy I want you in that house across the street" Luigi said.
"Right" Daisy said.
Luigi looked at her and said "If it's purple, burn it."
"No problem" Daisy said.
"I'll be in that second story window" Luigi said.
"How do we get them here?" Mario asked.
"Leave that to me" Luigi said "Daisy, I need to borrow your pistol."
Daisy handed Luigi her .357 and a handful of bullets and asked "what are you going to do?"
"Don't worry about it" Luigi said "you guys just get ready."
Luigi walked toward the space ship while Mario, Peach and Daisy got into position.
After a few minutes, they heard three gunshots, then they heard Luigi yell "over here you alien scum!"
Then there were two more gunshots. Soon they saw Luigi running toward them.
"They're coming!" Luigi said as he ran into a house and ran up the stairs to a window.
The clones began running into the intersection.
"Now!" Luigi yelled.
They all opened fire and the clones began dropping. The clones kept coming. Luigi saw one sneak into the house with Mario and Peach. He quickly took aim and shot it between the eyes. Mario was reloading when the clone fell next to him. He looked up at Luigi and nodded. Luigi nodded back. Mario saw that the clone had a combat shotgun. He looked at Peach and saw that she still wasn't hitting any clones.
He grabbed the shotgun and handed it to Peach and said "use this, it's bigger."
Peach put the Uzi down and took the shotgun and fired it at a clone. Half of the buckshot hit the clone running toward them. The clone was thrown back a few feet by the blast.
Peach looked at the shotgun and said "wow."
Then she took aim and continued firing. Mario finished reloading and began firing again. After ten minutes the clones stopped coming.
It was silent for a few minutes before Luigi yelled "Clear!"
They all came into the intersection. "Everybody ok?" Daisy asked.
"Yup" Luigi said.
"Yes" Peach said.
"Yeah" Mario said.
"Ok" Luigi said "take ammo from the clones and let's go get Tatanga."
Mario, Peach and Luigi began gathering ammo. Daisy took her flamethrower off and took a fresh flamethrower off a clone and strapped it on. Luigi gave Daisy back her .357 revolver. She reloaded it and out it back in her belt.
"Alright" Luigi said "let's go."
He grabbed a radio off of a clone as they headed to Tatanga's ship.
When they were outside the ship, Luigi pushed the button on the radio and said "Attention Tatanga, all your clones are dead. Now come out here and fight."
"Fine" Tatanga said "a one on one fight with the green one."
"You're on" Luigi said.
Tatanga came out wearing a cape, which was the only way to tell him apart form the clones. He was also carrying an ax. Luigi took the clip out of his rifle and fired the round in the chamber into the ground; and got ready for a hand to hand fight. Five clones came out of the ship and followed Tatanga.
Mario pointed his M-60 at the clones and said "no, no this fight is one on one. Get back in the ship before I shoot."
Tatanga turned and nodded. The clones went back into the ship. Mario, Peach and Daisy stepped back and gave Luigi and Tatanga room. Tatanga swung the ax, Luigi jumped back avoiding it. He ran forward and swung his rifle at Tatanga, he ducked dodging the swing. Tatanga swung down on Luigi. Luigi raised his rifle and used it to block the ax. Then he lunged forward and head butted Tatanga in the stomach. Tatanga stepped back. Luigi hit him in the face with the stock of his rifle. Then he hit Tatanga in the wrist hard with the barrel of his gun, causing him to drop the ax. Luigi hit him in the stomach with the rifle, then he smacked him in the face with the stock, knocking him down.
"I yield" Tatanga said.
"Good choice" Luigi said.
Daisy walked over and kicked Tatanga in the head, knocking him out.
"Was that necessary?" Peach asked.
"No, not really" Daisy said "but it sure felt good."
The five clones came out again. Luigi quickly put a new clip in his rifle and cocked it.
He pointed it at the clones and said "take Tatanga and get out of here."
The clones didn't move.
Daisy drew her pistol, pointed it straight up, fired a round and yelled "NOW!"
The clones quickly grabbed Tatanga and dragged him back into the ship and flew away. The brothers and the princesses started walking back toward the Mushroom Kingdom.
"What are we gonna do about the bodies?" Mario asked.
"We'll worry about that tomorrow" Daisy said "for now let's just take the rest of the day off."
"I'll send some toads out to collect the weapons" Peach said.
"Yeah" Mario said "we'll lock them in the vault in the castle."
"Not this one" Luigi said holding up his M-14 "this one stays in the mansion with me."
"Same goes for mine" Daisy said.
As Luigi and Daisy walked back into the mansion, the clone Luigi had knocked out earlier punched him in the face knocking Luigi down.
"I guess I didn't hit you hard enough" Luigi said.
The clone pulled out a knife and glared at Luigi and said "die!"
"Excuse me" Daisy said.
The clone looked at her.
Daisy smiled and said "I hate to ruin your fun, but…"
She quickly drew her revolver and shot the clone between the eyes. Then she helped Luigi up.
Luigi smiled and said "thanks."
"Don't mention it" Daisy said smiling.
Meanwhile on Tatanga's ship, Tatanga was coming to.
He looked at a clone and asked "how many of you are left?"
"Seven" the clone said.
Tatanga gritted his teeth and said "start the cloning machine, get me more weapons and find a suitable place to train an army."
