The air was thick with smog and scorched his flesh, kneeling at the throne he tried not to show the fear that was flowing through every point in his body. Even though the air burned he was focused on the being who sat upon the throne in front of him, the being had two eyes firmly placed on him, studying him almost.

After a few minutes of waiting he asks," Why have you come here, and be quick I don't have time to waste with the likes of you?" He shivered at the kings words, he shook as he said," I…. Need some help…." The being tapped his fingers together, after his careful decision he questioned," Why have you come to me, your brother could surely help you, not to mention you're my foe as well?"

He answered," This… this problem isn't for his ears, I….. I don't want to be a hero any a more!" The being sitting at the throne opened his eyes at his response, clearly in all his years he never thought his opponent was thinking this way, he said," Luigi, now why would you not want to be a hero, isn't it your blood, or are you just wasting my time!"

Luigi flinched as his words, he said," I am serious Bowser, I don't feel the same, it has been going on forever now, ever since my first appearance with my brother to stop you, I was always noted as the nice gullible, weak, cowardly brother, I just don't like it anymore, I don't get credit….." Bowser smirked and replied," But you are weak, gullible, and cowardly, why do you deserve respect!"

Luigi glared at Bowser and shouted," Well it isn't what I want, How does one get stronger when his brother is always keeping him out of fights and keeping him in the shadow while he sucks up the glory, and then the only person you can turn to is someone in a million years your brother would have suggested was the total bad guy and untrustworthy, but really who is untrustworthy, the one who honestly speaks his mind or the being who lies to his brother to keep fame to himself!"

Bowser dropped his smile, and opened his mouth, he had never really seen Luigi angry and it surprised him, he smiled and said," Listen Luigi, you may have problems but I can't help you right now, my people need me and that is my top priority, so give me one good reason why I should even-" Luigi quickly cut him off and said," I could steal from the underground vaults and bring you back medicine and other items for the people!"

Bowser cuffed his claws together and said," Well now, look who already has a dark plan, stealing from the people who you swore to protect, well if you do it, then I will be glad to except you as an apprentice of the dark, now get out!" Luigi quickly hurried to the door, turning before his departure he said," I never swore to those people, just like I never promised my brother I would never come here…."

Bowser closed his eyes as Luigi left the throne room, his eyes quickly flickered open, he says," There is something more to this than he is letting off, what did he do?" Bowser shook his head, standing her turned into one of his many rooms, he shouts," Junior get up!" Instantly his son was out of bed and standing near him.

Bowser tilts his head down and says," alright get your disguise ready you are heading to the Mushroom Kingdom, I need you to go to the castle, and figure out what happened, there Luigi has done something and I need to know what, is that understood?" His son nods his head without any questions and quickly heads out to fulfill his father's wishes.

Luigi snuck around the buildings, it was night luckily so he was well hidden, but he knew the castle would be in an uproar, sneaking up to the gate he slid into one of the many secret hatches he dug into the castle and made his way down to the food storage level. Slowly moving the rock aside he climbed out of the wall and crept slowly across the ground,

He stopped in front of the large wooden door that had a several lock system on it, cracking his knuckles he began to move each lock into position, after a few minutes of mixing with the locks he finally heard a large click, the locks spun rapidly as the metal that held the door shut slid into holding blocks, he pushes the door open.

Knowing that the alarm would sound soon if the door was left open for too long he snatched items off the shelves like crazy, he knocked a strange item into the bag and then swopped it over his shoulder, before he could shut the door he heard what he dreaded to hear, a loud ringing noise, no longer worried about the door he shoved the supplies through the hole in the wall and then quickly moved the rock back into place.

Slowly dragging the bag he finally reached the top, lifting the bag, he swept through the gate and cleared the streets quickly, almost at the edge of town he felt safe, suddenly someone stood in his path, reaching his foot out Luigi tripped and tumbled to the ground, turning to look he knew instantly who it was, Mario glared down at his brother.

Luigi backed away from Mario, Mario continued his glare as he slowly walked to him, Luigi reaching into the bag began to search, finally he found what he was looking for, pulling out he yanked a star from the bag, he lit up from its power, smirking at his brother, Mario backed away but held his ground, he shouts," What are you doing a back here, you a know the law and you a carelessly disregarded it, I can barely stand to look at you!"

A tear dripped form Mario's eye, Luigi instantly knew were Mario was headed and snapped," I'm glad he is dead, he messed with me for the last time all of you have, I have been sitting in the sidelines watching you get all the fame and glory, well not any more, now I'm no longer with you!" Rushing out Luigi struck Mario hard, with the power that flowed through him right then, Mario was instantly weaker than him.

A trickle of blood fell from his mouth and puddled on the ground, Luigi turned his back and said as he picked up the bag and walked off," Count yourself luck I don't end it here, it would be to easy and sad really, now goodbye!" Luigi takes off and soon no longer noticeable, Mario fell to the ground, his eyes flashed and then nothing.

Bowser had is mouth wide open and his eyes staring at his son and Luigi, he said," So that is what happened Luigi, never thought you would ever have killing in your blood, hmmm…." Luigi held out the bag and presented it to him, Bowser smiled and said," Well isn't that respectful bringing the people what they rightfully deserve, well now you're starting to get the bigger picture instead of half of it, now what exactly happened at the Mushroom Kingdom, I want to know…."

A few days back….

Luigi was laughing with his brother as he told the story of defeating Bowser to the guests at the party, after his little speech Mario and Luigi separated and went to enjoy the part. Mario was sitting near Peach, she was wearing a pink dress with little frilly things coming from it, and she had her hair like normal except for the makeup and other little attachment she put on.

Luigi remembered his brother saying she looked "Stunning" Luigi smiled at his brother who was laughing at the things said over at the table, leaning against the back wall someone said," I bet it's nice knowing that your fame only comes from the shadow of your brother." Luigi looked at who said this and was surprised to see Toadsworth looking at him.

Luigi shook his head and continued watching the party, suddenly a shove caught his attention, Toadsworth said," Yah Luigi, I was talking to you, your nothing but a cowardly little shit, who just allows other to fight your battles, I don't even believe it when Master Mario says that you help him in battles, take on Count Bleck, you couldn't even take on a Toad, let alone him!"

Luigi felt a tug of annoyance in his left side, a pulse in his head began to throb, ignoring him again he continued to watch the party and grabbed a glass, before the liquid was drank he was shoved aside, the liquid going down the wrong pipe he began to cough, he choked on the air a bit before turning his full attention to Toadsworth, he had a smiled and said," you see how pathetic you are, I was definitely right you couldn't take on Bowser, Count Bleck, Dimentio, King Boo, or any of the villains let alone one of them, your such a pathetic loser you can't even do a thing but sit there looking like a dumb shit, so you might as well just-"

The guest all stopped as soon as the collision made full force, Luigi drew his hand back as quick as lighting, sending straight he crashed his hand into his face, the forced sent Toadsworth through the crowd of people crashing into the table where a lot of guest sat, the table shattered as soon as he collided with it.

Luigi sat huffing as he used all force in his body, suddenly realizing what had happened, Mario and Peach raced over to Toadsworth, Mario placed his hand on him and placed an ear to his chest, blood was already dripping from his mouth before he even had to say it, Mario felt tears drop from his eyes as he slowly closed the toads eyes, Peach already had her hands on her face, bursting out with tears.

Mario felt the anger rush through him, he swerved around stopping where he was, his gaze fell upon his brother, whose face was dark red and he was clearly pissed, Mario walks forward, still ready to strike, he says," Luigi, how could you….. Do a this?" Luigi glares at Mario, not responding he shoves Mario aside and takes off out of the castle.

Present Time…..

Luigi was still caught up in the memory before he realized the king was laughing, Luigi was angered, Bowser seeing this says," Whoa calm down there, it's just that was pretty funny, he messed with you, and you took it gave him three chances to back down…" He breaths in deep to collect air as he continued to laugh, he continued," And when you hit that toad in the face, that just got me started, I bet he didn't know what hit him he probably looked just as stupid as he probably thought he was when he messed with you, at least now he won't be messing with you anymore!"

Luigi chuckled with the king, this actually caught the king off guard, but only for a second, his smile quickly c0ming back, he says," Well Luigi, it seems that I have miss judged your character, you could certainly kick as when it comes to it, so since you're a villain, have any plans for how to get revenge?" Luigi confused asks," Revenge?"

Bowser shakes his head and says simply," Look they kicked you out, you are going to have to get them back, and while you're at it you should probably come up with a new power and a name for yourself, so you know, your villain side has more appeal and strength, so what is the plan, I will help in any way since it is your first time, go ahead strategize?"

Luigi nodded and said," well how about we wipe the smug look off of that princess' face and show her the trouble I can cause." A voice appeared from the dark," I have a better idea for you Luigi and Bowser, you will work for me and I will show my hospitality and let you live, but by all means it is your choice!" A hedgehog appeared from the darkness, he stood on two feet, his fur was a mixture of black and a dark purple, he had almost grey colored lines on each of his quills sticking from his head. His eyes fixed on both of the beings.

Bowser snorted and huffed smoke from his nose, he shouts," and who just you might be to authorize me, you little runt!" Suddenly a wave of purple energy knocked bowser to the ground, the being lowered his hand, he said," I am Mephiles the Dark, but you may call me simply Mephiles, I come from another world, one that I'm sure you are familiar with, have you ever heard of Sonic the Hedgehog?"

Both Bowser and Luigi jump up, Bowser grunts and says," As if I could forget that blue guy bashed me up good after teaming up with Luigi and Mario, I had help from Eggman, and they were able to stop us due to their friends, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, and the others!" Mephiles nodded his head slowly, turning to Luigi he said," Now as I have heard you no longer side with the fat plumber or Sonic correct?"

Luigi nodded his head and said," Oh yah I want all of them to pay, because even after all I do to help I never get credit for anything!" Mephiles let out a loud chuckle and responded," Well if it is respect you want then I will grant your request easily, I already have a plan, but it will take both of you and two others from my world to work."

Luigi nodded as did Bowser, Bowser says," Just as long as I am still king of my palace, and we are partners!" Mephiles nodded and answers," Yes of course." It took a while but they finally realized that he didn't speak through his mouth, instead he spoke almost telepathically, he smiled and said," Once the other two are informed we may begin, but first I need something from you as well, I need you to get me 15 stars, they go with the plan and I don't want any questions asked!"

Bowser rolled his eyes, he didn't like being ordered he did the ordering, Luigi swiftly nodded and raced out the door, Mephiles waited a moment and said," Are you not going to find them?" Bowser growled and said," I don't do the orders, I make them!" Mephiles figuring around him said," Well I thought it was your idea, remember we are team mates you came up with the idea to use them for an ingenious design but none of your men returned, you talked to me a while back and said you would do it yourself since you were the greatest at finding them, I hope you weren't lying?"

Bowser bought the lie and shouts," Please I could find those things without even trying, I'll beat Luigi and bring back twice as many!" Bowser hops into his clown chair flying machine and flew off through the opened door, it slowly closed behind him, a low echoing chuckle came from his throat as he said," The foolish little pawn should never distract the king while he works, Bowser will learn in time!"

A swirl of purple energy began to swirl around him, his laugh subsided and he was no longer in the throne room, Bowser Junior was shaking from his hiding spot, he said," I have to warn papa before that idiot comes back an-" Bowser Jr. screams out as he falls to the ground, Mephiles walks up from behind, he snatches him up by the head, gazing into his eyes he could see the pain and frightened child that hid behind his scowl.

With a quick thrust of his arm, Mephelis slammed him into the ground, stepping over him he said," Next time keep your mouth shut, it's the dungeon with you, have a nice trip!" Mephiles used his energy and teleported the young Koopa to a cell far below the kingdom, he chuckles again this time leaving for real, making sure no one else was listening before he was truly gone.
