Three months ago...

Ruby gushed, "I am so happy to see you! And to be free!"

Opal replied, "Same here!"

"Not long!"

"Huh," everyone said in unison, wondering who had spoken.

Out of nowhere, Fawful appeared, having captured the Sprixie Princesses in a big glass jar.

Peach breathed, "Fawful!"

Fawful replied, "The chortles thank you, red capped man, for giving me this unlimited power!"

As Fawful chuckled evilly, he took off for the skies above. Mario looked up at his baby brother, who was still airborne.

He yelled, "Weegie, go after him!"

Luigi yelled back, "Right, Malleo!"

With that, Luigi took off at a top speed to try to catch up to Fawful. On the ground, Mario scrambled to find an acorn power-up or a rocket. 'I have to help Luigi,' he thought. Violet helped him, also worried about her fiance. She was just glad Cece wasn't around to see the situation unfolding.

Meanwhile, in the skies, Fawful was climbing in altitude with his jet pack as Luigi was following behind. However, the green clad ghost hunter was starting to have trouble with the higher altitudes.

Fawful saw this and teased, "That all green man do? Weak!"

Luigi struggled, "You...won't...get...away..."

Fawful yelled, "I have chortles now so go away!"

As he said that, he started to drop Bob-ombs down onto the green clad ghost hunter. Luigi quickly swerved to try and dodge them all. However, one wounded up on his right arm. Luigi sharply gasped as he threw it off, just as it exploded. Luigi's eyes were forced to shut close as the electric wings deactivated and Luigi went sailing towards the Earth at a ridiculous fast speed.

Luigi breathed, slowly losing consciousness, "Mario..."

Back on the ground, our heroes saw something fall back into the Earth's atmosphere. None of them could make it out so Violet made a telescope out of ice and took a look. That's when she saw that Luigi was falling to his doom.

Violet reported, "Oh no! Guys, Luigi is falling out of the skies! Fawful must've shot him down!"

"What," everyone blurted out, except Mario.

Mario ran towards the end of the hill they were standing on and yelled, "LUIGI!"

...

Present day...

The Mushroom Kingdom was in peril. It had been three long months without their princess. Fawful took over the kingdom rather quickly after obtaining the Dark Star. Apparently, fleeing into space, was to get rid of Luigi so Fawful could return to the kingdom while all of its guardians (and princess) were not present. No one knew what happened to the green clad ghost hunter after he fell out of the skies. A lot of people (Mario and Violet included) thought Luigi was dead. Mario was finally able to propose to Peach (about a month after Fawful had taken over the kingdom) and fled underground with his team.

Blue, sadly, couldn't get to his younger brother - Yellow - in time. Mimbus attacked Toad Village where all of the Toads were and was able to kill most of Toads there, including Yellow. Blue was still in shock about the whole thing but vowed that it wouldn't get to him and that he would fight in Yellow - and Luigi's - honor. Bowser wounded up joining Fawful's side after he had taken over Mushroom Kingdom, though he was still unsure that Mario was king. Violet refused to take off her engagement ring. Spettro was with them as well, sad about its master's death.

The resistance was made, with Rosalina and her Lumas included. They were planning to stop Bowser and Fawful...in honor of Luigi and Yellow.

...

Meanwhile, in Frosted Glacier, two men just entered a shop. One of them was wearing a dark green cloak while the other was wearing a green cloak. The Toad owner of the shop saw them. He knew who they were...The Lightning Brothers. The one in the dark green cloak with the silver eyes was the oldest of the two, named Lucas. The other one in the green cloak with the sapphire eyes was the youngest of the two named Antonio.

The Toad greeted, "Hello Lucas. Hi Antonio."

Antonio replied, "Hey, Toad!"

Lucas asked, "Any word yet on the resistance coming out from underground?"

The Toad answered, "No, not yet. They are still getting supplies. Planning on joining them?"

Antonio stated, "That's the idea."

Lucas added, "And we need to get to the resistance to help."

The Toad responded, "Well, I would help but I'm more worried about Elvin."

Antonio asked, "Who...?"

Lucas answered, "Ghost researcher that lives in Evershade Valley. Used to be close to Luigi before he was killed."

The Toad added, "I'm going to go see him."

Antonio stated, "I think we should escort you."

Lucas replied, "Antonio, get the sled ready, will you?"

The one in the green cloak nodded as he went outside. The one in the dark green cloak brought out his right arm, activating his green electricity.

The Toad perked up as he breathed, "Mr. L?! Y - you really are alive?!"

Mr. L replied, "So it seems Mario figured out that I was separated from Luigi before he...never mind. Just tell me where I can find them!"

The Toad panicked as he responded, "Underneath the mushroom palace!"

Mr. L deactivated his green electricity and told him, "Thanks, too-short-for-a-date."

With that, the Green Thunder left and got outside to where Antonio was waiting with their rented sled.

Antonio asked, "Well?"

Mr. L/Lucas half-lied, "Changed his mind about Elvin and told me where Mario is."

Antonio questioned, "Really? Where is he?"

Mr. L/Lucas answered, with a question of his own, "Ever been to the mushroom palace, squirt?"

Antonio shook his head and replied, "No."

Mr. L/Lucas responded, "Well, that's where we are going. Get on."

Antonio obeyed as he got on the sled and started to ask, "Do you even know where we are...?"

Before he could finish the sentence, Mr. L/Lucas got the sled to move again at a fast speed, causing Antonio not to finish his question.

...
