The Everlasting Nightmare
1. Twisted Dreams
"…And once the light orbs are recovered, the dimension shall close, the void shall weaken…"
"Gweh heh heh! This book is despicable… The light orbs shall never be acquired.. Not if I'm around!"
The grim looking character walked away into the depths of the darkness…
MEANWHILE…
"Mario! Mario!" Shouted Peach, frolicking across a field of flowers.
Mario was running to her, as happy as can be. Until…
The skies turned dark, it started to pour and to thunder… A dark hole opened up in the sky, sucking in everything… Peach, her castle, everything! And soon it will be Mario's turn!
"NOOOOOOOOO!!"
Mario had woken up by then, for the scream was not his, but his brother, Luigi's. He was having a nightmare. It seemed so terrifying, so gloomy… Could he possibly be having the same dream as Mario?
"Mario Bros! Mario Bros!"
Mario rushed to the door, only to find a toad waiting outside.
"Mario! Oh, Mario! It's horrible! Toads at the Mushroom Castle are having all sorts of bad dreams, and they can't wake up! We've tried and tried to awaken them, it's just no use!"
Mario explained to the small Toad that Luigi was in the same dilemma. He then decided to accompany the Toad to Peach's Castle, dragging the sleeping Luigi with him.
They finally arrived, and the Toad noticed that the sky grew darker than before. This was an emergency.
Mario opened the castle door. There wasn't anyone inside.
"They're all in their rooms!" Explained the Toad.
Mario wondered why the Toad beside him was not under the spell…
The duo noticed Peach at the top of the stairs, a devastating look in her face.
"Mario! Beside you!"
All Mario could see beside him was the Toad, troubled. Can Peach see things other people can't?
"Mario! You're in danger! That's not a Toad!" Exclaimed Peach.
"So… You see me?" Asked the Toad.
Mario delivered a blow to the Toad's head, sending him flying to the wall. That revealed the Toad's true nature. It transformed into this dark creature with gleaming red eyes wielding a wand of some sort.
"Gweh heh heh! It is I, The Devil of Darkness, The Ghastliness Ghoul, The Nightmare Master… Prince Dargoul!"
"Prince Dargoul?" Questioned Peach.
-Correct! Here to bring nightmares to everyone around the world! With my Darkness Dimension finally created, everyone who has a "pleasant dream" shall soon have that dream sucked into to my new dimension, twisting it into a horrid eternal nightmare! With my dimension, the world shall never see the light of day… It will be nighttime all the time! Gweh heh heh!
"That'll never work!" Shouted Mario.
"Oh, but it has already started! Soon, you too shall suffer the fate of having your dreams twisted into nightmares… It's just a matter of falling asleep… And with that, I bid you farewell. I have already gave you enough information on my scheme. Adios! We WILL meet again…"
Dargoul disappeared into a cloud of purple smoke.
The ground then started to rumble, as if the castle was being swept away to an unknown place… And that's when everything turned black.
