Mario and Luigi: Crossing Dimensions II

Seeing though you liked my first Mario story so much, I'm going to make a sequel to it! This time, a mad scientist plots to use a dimensional vortex to his advantage...he has to be stopped!

Chapter 1: A Villain Appears

It had been an entire year since the fateful day that took Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Bowser to an alternate dimension that was the polar opposite of there's. They would never forget their adventure there.

Professor E. Gadd, despite the negative events that had occurred the first time he had revealed the portal to the public, decided to keep working on it. He eventually devised a way that would allow those who went through to easily get back to the other side.

However, unbeknowist to him, he was being watched very closely as he tinkered with the machine. Someone was spying on him.

"Ah, finally done! Hopefully this should prevent all the terrible things that aspired earlier from happening again!"

"Oh really now?" said someone in the shadows. Professor E. Gadd turned around and saw his former assistant, Professor Wikid, standing before him along with two robots. "What are you doing here?" Professor E. Gadd asked, puzzled why he was in his laboratory.

"Oh nothing much. I just heard that you had finished your latest invention..." Professor Wikid pulled out a laser gun. "What do you want from me? You aren't allowed in here anymore!" demanded the professor to his former pupil. "Simple. That dimensional vortex of yours is just what I need for my plans." "What? What plans? What are you talking about!" said Professor E. Gadd. "You'll find out soon enough. Robots, restrain that scientist!"

Suddenly the two robots went over to Professor E. Gadd and trapped him in a laser net shot out of their palms. "Don't try to struggle, professor. That laser net is like steel. I doubt you could get out." Professor E. Gadd tried to break out as the two robots and Professor Wikid carried him over to the portal and went inside.

It wasn't long before the citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom noticed his disappearance. They was panic around the Mushroom Kingdom. What had come of their beloved scientist?

Eventually, Princess Peach starting requesting the heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom for help. Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Donkey Kong and (surprisingly) Wario and Waluigi were the first ones to volunteer. Her royal highness explained what was going on.

"Professor E. Gadd has been missing for several days. Nobody knows what happened to him. He was last seen at his laboratory working on the dimensional portal the Mario Bros. went in earlier.

"I thought Professor E. Gadd would have scrapped it by now." responded Luigi. "He did consider it, but decided that if he simply worked on it some more it would be safe to use." said Princess Peach. "I see." said Mario. "Are we going to get money for this?" said Wario. "Yeah! I want money!" said Waluigi. Princess Peach sighed and said "I guess.", rolling her eyes. "Yoshi want to find Professor E. Gadd!" said Yoshi. "OOH OOH OOH! (Me too!)" said Donkey Kong.

"Good luck finding him." said Peach. Naturally the six heroes decided to look at the last place he was sighted, at his own laboratory...

They searched all over, but did not find him. The Mario Bros. became increasingly concerned. Had Professor E. Gadd disappeared completely? Was he gone for good?

As Mario and Luigi thought about what could have happened, they were suddenly startled by a large crashing sound.

Ooh cliffhanger! What could have made that noise? Find out in Chapter 2!
