Mushroom kingdoms scarlet speedster chapter 1: beginnings

"This is not how I planned my day to go." Said a man in a red suit, he was crawling on the ground to get away from a man shooting water from his hands.

"Come on speedy I hit you once and you end up flopping like a fish out of water." Said the water wielding maniac.

"I never asked for this to happen but it did, that guy I'm fighting right now I call flood line and the guy in the red suit who's about to get his ass whooped is me, I'm Luigi, you know, Mario's younger brother but under this red mask I'm the flash, this all happened a few weeks ago."

(two weeks earlier)

Luigi is asleep on the couch, having a nightmare from his childhood.

"Mom? Mom?"

His mom was encircled in a mess of lightning and suddenly a man in a yellow suit grabs a knife and stabs her.

Luigi jerks awake, sweating.

"Damn same dream again, better turn on the tv, get my mind off it."

He turns on the tv only for all the power in the house to go out.

"Damn it I know I paid the power bill."

Suddenly a portal appears in the room and a figure in a red suit appears from it.

"Am I too soon? Damn I'm too soon, Mr. L will return, be ready when he does, be ready."

The portal vanishes.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?"

Suddenly a beam of energy erupts into the sky

"I'm really getting tired of this."

Suddenly a bolt of lightning strikes Luigi, knocking him out into a coma.

(a few hours after)

Mario returns home after beating bowser again and saving the princess, again

"I swear these adventures are getting harder and harder every time, I almost died going into a door only to find that it hung over a sea of lava, good thing I caught myself and climbed back inside, I'm gonna be more careful with doors from now on."

A/N yes that was a Mario maker reference now back to the story.

Mario walks inside to find Luigi passed out on the floor with a gaping hole in the roof.

"Damn it, Luigi are you ok? Luigi?!"

Mario gets his cart and drives him to the hospital where his cousin Dr. Mario works.

A/N the way I see it, Mario and Dr. Mario are two different people and are Mario and Luigi's cousin.

(later)

"Is Luigi going to be ok?" asked Mario.

"Hard to say, he got hit by lightning and shows no signs of waking up, but we're doing the best we can. I co-own STAR labs with professor E. Gadd so we should be able to help him there."

A/N for the sake of the story there is a star labs and professor E. Gadd owns it along with Dr. Mario

(two weeks later)

Luigi wakes up in STAR labs

"Were am I? What happened? Oh yeah the lightning bolt."

He gets up only to see his cousin Dr. Mario and professor E. Gadd standing still as if they were frozen in time.

"Hello? What's going on here?" he waves a hand in their faces but nothing.

I got to get out of here."

When he leaves time seemed to go back to normal, but when he looked down his hand was vibrating till it became a blur.

"What the hell is going on? What's happened to my hand?"

It stops moving but when he moves he starts rocketing down the street and a trail of orange lightning streams from behind him.

"WOOHOO THIS IS AWESOME!"

Suddenly a suit materializes around him.

"What is this? A suit? And is that a lightning bolt on the chest?"

He then runs by a tv showing an alert.

"Once again flood line has attacked and the police can't take him, we urge that everyone evacuate the city now." Said the news toad on the tv.

"flood line? Never heard of him but he does sound dangerous, I better do something about this."

Luigi runs to confront floodline not knowing what to do but he feels confident with his new powers.

"This ends now floodline, I can't let you terrorize the people or this city anymore."

"And who are you to stop me kid?"

He shoots a stream of water at him but Luigi runs behind him.

"first off, my name is the flash, and second, I can stop you and I will because you couldn't even hit me and I barley even moved."

Floodline then hits Luigi with a stream of water before he could react he was on the ground.

(present)

"And now back to where we left off, with me on the ground and about to get drowned maybe and I just woke up from a two-week coma, perfect first day back if you ask me."

"Say goodnight flash, you cocky bastard."

Right as he shot his stream of water Luigi's perception of time kicked in and he ran behind him and knocked him out, to him it looked like it happened at normal speed but in reality it happened in about less than a second.

"Next time don't say something if you can't back it up."

Luigi runs him over to the MKPD (mushroom kingdom police department) and threw him on the ground with a note on his unconscious body saying "arrest me".

"Like I said, I never asked for this to happen, but somehow, I know that I can make this into something great."
