Chapter 1:

An Uninvited Guest


Boo Woods

...

...

Boo Woods; a dark, spooky forest within the Mushroom World that is extremely large and full of many dead trees. Big grey rain clouds darken the area even more so than normal and barrage of rain pour down upon it heavily. Lightning occasionally flashes into the dark sky, follow closely by the loud rumbles of thunder.

A large puddle of water splashes as a figure hurries through the woods, trying to find a safe place to hide. This figure was soaking wet and was gasping for breath like his life depended on it. He ran as fast as he could, in hopes to see the mansion of which he owns up ahead.

However, he wasn't running in search of shelter from the storm. No, he was running because of the mysterious voice that keeps calling to him out of nowhere.

"Luigi…"

The figure now identified as Luigi Mario, the younger brother of the Mario Bros., let out a fearful gasp as he runs even faster towards his mansion, his heart was thrashing wildly within his chest. Fortunately for him, the mansion was just up ahead in that large clearing.

Passing through the gates, Luigi quickly cover the pathway up to the mansion before he stood in front of the double doors. The man pulled out his keys and tries to unlock the door. But with his whole body shaking out of both fear and cold, he kept missing the keyhole.

"Luigi…"

The voice sang in the wind; causing Luigi to shake even more. Finally, he got the key in and unlocked the door. He quickly ran inside and shut the door behind him. Once he was safe inside the comforts of his own home, he let out a huge sigh in relief.

Bark, bark!

Luigi jumped and turn around, thinking it was an intruder. He sighed in relief again once he saw who it really was. In front of him was a white, transparent, canine-like ghost with a red collar. This spectrum mutt was a Polterpup named Spettro; Luigi's new pet.

Spettro was Italian for Specter. Luigi got tired of naming his pup by his species name after his first few months of having him so he decided to give him a real one, one that was Italian.

Spettro barked and jumped into the hands of his owner, licking his face silly. The ghostly puppy was happy to see his friend again, even if the last time he saw him was less than 24 hours ago.

Luigi laughs as he let the pup lick him down to the ground. Ever since he got Spettro which was a few months ago, he had him stay in his mansion so he could watch over the place. He always takes some time out of his day to come see the little guy every other day. Once he had enough of Spettro's kisses, Luigi set his dog down on the floor. Spettro tilts his head to the side and let out a small whimper, as if he was asking him if he was okay.

"I'm fine, boy." Luigi replies, wiping some sweat and water from his forehead. "Just a little spook, is all."

He was wet and tired from all that running in the rain. With Spettro following behind him, Luigi headed up to the bathroom and grab a towel to dry himself. Luigi's mansion may be big but it was also humble and comfortable, just the way he like it. Heading inside the kitchen, Luigi use his towel to dry his hair to prevent a head cold.

"You know, Spettro, I've been meaning to visit Princess Daisy. And Mario's staying with Princess Peach this week so… How would you like to accompany me to Sarasaland for the week?"

Spettro did some back flips in the air and barked; happy to tag along with him. Luigi laugh and 'pet' the ghostly pup on the head.

"I'll take that as a yes."

Several hours before hand, Luigi's older brother, Mario, had came home after saving Princess Peach from King Bowser for the thousandth time and announced that he was spending the week within the castle to keep her company. After packing his things, he left, leaving Luigi alone in their shared house.

He places the towel around his neck and turns his attention to the cabinets. Luigi open the farthest cabinet to the left and started searching through its contents.

"I hope he didn't go through the cabinets again." He said, searching. "Aha!"

All the way in the back of the cabinet, Luigi pull out a large white jar with multiple pictures of paw prints and doggy bones on it. He uncovers it to reveal a jar full of Gold bones, Spettro's favorite doggy treat. He grabbed one of many hidden inside and places the lid back on top.

"How about a bone, boy; you want one?"

The only reply he got from Spettro was the sound of growling. Luigi frowns and place the jar where he found it so Spettro wouldn't get to it.

"What's the matter, boy?"

With Gold Bone in hand, Luigi turn around to see what was wrong with his Polterpup. He gasped. The bone fell on the ground and he pressed his body against the kitchen counter.

"Y-y-you!"

His body started shaking and his eyes widen from fear as he stares at the uninvited guest who had suddenly appeared in his kitchen.

"Why hello again, Luigi" said a dark figure. "Surprise to see me?"

Luigi didn't reply. He was frozen from fear. Hovering before him was a dark figure about as tall as his brother, wearing peculiar clothing of purple, yellow, and black them. His face was like a theater mask; one half white and the other black with an ominous smile on it.

"What's the matter, my old friend? You looked like you just seen a ghost."
