Hiya guys! Strange princess here, with yet another Mario fanfic that will hopefully be enjoyable...I know I'm not a great writer, but one tries her best. Besides, its not like I'm perfect anyways. In any case, this story centers on one of my favorite villians in the Marioverse (Other than Dimentio...*chuckles nervously*), Fawful! Yes, I wuvs that little, eccentric, Beanish villian! His speech is highly amusing, not to mention, he's actually very adorable. But don't tell him that, or else...Okay, I think I've drabbled long enough now...So, let's get to the real action!
Chapter One
?
In a dark, dank cave, a strange individual was hunched over a small, crude, table that held many scattered parchments. Growling to their self, the being adjusted their cracked, dirty glasses and leaned closer to the dim glow of a small candle that barely lit up the parchment he was currently reading. He hated having to read in these conditions. The candles always gave out and his glasses were so destroyed and dirty that sometimes, he wasn't able to decipher whatever he was reading, thus making it a challenge to finish skimming through the musty, old documents. Truth be told, if it were up to him, he would read these important parchments under a stable light source, and with crisp, fresh glasses. Alas, his current situation did not allow him to afford such luxuries.
Sighing to himself, the individual tossed the document back on the table and got up from his makeshift chair. Almost instinctively, he went towards his crudely consrtucted bed and curled into a little ball as he remebered the past with both sorrrow and anger. Two years. It had already been two years since he had attempted to take over the Mushroom Kingdom. And he had almost succeded in doing so too. But those fink-rats...Those stupid, mustachioed plumbers had beaten him again. All that he had gained, had been rudely snatched away from him when those idiotic heroes had beaten him. Not to mention that the moronic Koopa King Bowser had somewhat allied with those fink-rats and had helped destroy him and the Dark Star. When he thought about what he had done, it had all been for naught.
But he was going to make sure those idiots paid. Although he liked the idea of ruling the world, the little villian actually had a bigger motive for destroying the Mushroom Kingdom: Revenge. Yes, he still wasn't quite over what had happened to his mistress many years ago. The great Cackletta had let him serve as her loyal toady for many years, a position he took with great pride and honor. However, those fink-rats destroyed her and then left her to die a painful death. That had only angered the little toady, who was but a mere child then. Then, a few years later, he decided it was time to avenge his beloved mistress' death. The plan was simple: Summon the Dark Star using Princess Peach of the Mushroom Kingdom, use its power to destroy the said kingdom, and rule the world. Furthemore, he would have had many statues and temples dedicated to the witch he had adored almost like a mother. It had seemed like a foolproof plan at the time, and the success he recieved only served to boost his ego and pride.
Unfortunately, a small part of his plan backfired, and it ended costing him his utter defeat. This forced him to feign death and ultimately, exile. And now, here he was, living on scraps and bits, forced to beg and steal just to survive, something a great villian of his status was not supposed to do. Snarling, the individual clenched his fists in anger and opened his mouth in a fit of anger."I have fury! !", he growled. He was not going to take it anymore; something had to be done about his anger and sadness. Quickly adjusting his twisted, broken glasses, the little villian smiled widely and snapped his fingers as the gears in his head began turning."Lord Fawful shall let his enemies be tasting the mustard of doom and revenge like he promised! Then Fawful shall be having the chortles!", he said gleefully.
With his mind made up, the little Beanish villian began looking through his parchments with renewed interest. If he could find something that would help him in his plans to get revenge, everything would be perfect. After all, these papers used to belong to his mistress, the late Cackletta, and they were bound to have some important information on a certain artifact or another that would aid him. If he knew Cackletta well, Fawful was sure she would have noted anything that would have seemed important for their cause. Thinking about his mistress gave the little Bean shivers, and he bowed his head low in respect for the witch. After a few seconds, however, he returned his gaze to the papers and began to read quickly, his mind thinking on one thing. I shall be doing the avenging of your death, dear Cackletta. Your loyal toady will be seeing it has completion!

Poo...I tried to make the chapter as long as I could, but somehow, it refused to get any longer T^T. And I'm sorry if the first chapter seemed kind of angsty...I promise I didn't do that on purpose. Not to mention, I think I made Fawful's personality a bit OOC. Please bear with me! I'm just a poor teenage girl who can't always get her stories straight. Anyways, this chaper was kinda meant as a little prologue, so that's why it was so...weird 0.o. By the way, for those of you wondering, this story takes place after Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. In any case, I'll try not to make the next chapter so angsty. Um, you know the drill! R and R, please! Flames are accepted.
P.S- I totally forgot to mention Fawful's age here! I know the games never really state how old he is, but for this story, we shall leave him at about his teens: 15 would be a good age...Or maybe 16?
