THE DARK HALF

CHAPTER ONE

 "Magic Koopa!" Bowser yelled throughout his castle.

He needed his most trusted advisor, the Magic Koopa, to help him with his next evil plan to kill the Mario brothers. His last attempt failed horribly, as most of his minions had secretly suspected. He put a bomb in Mario's favorite pair of blue overalls and hoped Mario wouldn't notice. The plan blew up in Bowser's face…literally, after Mario found it and put it in the basement of Bowser's castle.

 Yes Bowser?" The Magic Koopa finally answered.

He had been working with Bowser for many years and was the brains behind all of Bowser's evil plots. It had been Magic Koopa's idea to capture Princess Peach in the first place. Magic Koopa knew what Bowser wanted as soon as he was summoned but played stupid anyway.

 "We need to make a new plan to kill the Mario brothers. I will need an idea in twenty minuets or it will be your head Magic Koopa." Bowser demanded as the Magic Koopa entered his chamber.

Bowser's room was the largest in his castle, and the only one with it's own bathroom. No one but Bowser or the people he called for advice were allowed in at any time. Anyone who would sneak in and be caught were severely punished by Bowser or Magic Koopa.

 "Yes Bowser, I'll think as fast as I can." Magic Koopa replied. He was leaving the room when Bowser stopped him.

 "Oh and Magic Koopa." Bowser quickly said before Magic Koopa left the room.

 "Yes Bowser?"

 "If this doesn't work you'll be the Chomp Chomp's next meal."

 "Oh course Bowser." Magic Koopa said and left the room.

His room was down the hall from Bowser's and the next nicest in the castle. He didn't have his own bathroom like Bowser did, but he had one next door that only he could use. He locked his door and began to think of a new plan that Bowser would like and that would actually work. After about ten minuets in solitude an idea popped into his head. He ran down the hall to Bowser's room and knocked on the door.

 "Who dares interrupt the grea… oh, it's you. Well do you have any idea for me?" Bowser began. He let Magic Koopa in and sat down, anticipating Magic Koopa's plan.

 "Yes Bowser. I know a spell that can bring out the evil in anyone it hits." Magic Koopa started.

 "Yes, go on." Bowser replied. The begging of the plan had gripped Bowser's imagination.

 "So we lure Mario here and I will use the spell on him."

 "Well that does sound like a good plan."

 "There's still more. The longer the evil has been bottled away, the stronger it will be when it's released."

 "So the new, evil Mario, will be nearly unstoppable."

 "Yes." Magic Koopa finished. An evil smirk came across his and Bowser's faces.

 "Now how will we lure Mario here Magic Koopa?" Bowser asked.

He was getting tiered of capturing Princess Peach and wanted to try something else to get Mario. He and Magic Koopa began to think of how to get Mario into the castle. Suddenly an idea popped into Bowser's head.

 "I've got an idea." Bowser said, breaking the silence.

 "Well?" Magic Koopa asked, wanting to know what Bowser's idea was.

 "We'll capture Yoshi and Luigi."

 "That's just crazy enough to work Bowser."

 "Of course it is, I did think of it."

 "Right." Magic Koopa said rolling his eyes.

 "We'll start the operation tomorrow." Bowser said as it was getting late.

 "Wait, there's one problem with your plan." Magic Koopa said as he was leaving.

 "What's that?" Bowser asked, blocking the doorway.

 "How will we capture Luigi without Mario noticing?" Magic Koopa asked.

 "Well… If he sees us he'll know it's us, right?"

 "Yeah."

 "If he knows it's us then he'll follow us, which is what we want."

 "Oh. You're smarter than you look Bowser." Magic Koopa said as he left the room to go to sleep.

 "Yup. Hey wait a minuet." Bowser said, realizing that Magic Koopa had just made fun of him.

As Bowser and Magic Koopa were talking the Mario brothers were talking too. Mario was getting tired; he had gotten up early that morning to go to the castle to talk to Peach and Toad. He had also talked to Yoshi earlier in the day.

 "It's been a long day Luigi, I'm ready for bed." Mario said as he got up from his chair in front of the T.V.

 "I told you to take my car but no, you had to walk." Luigi was saying. He was tired of Mario's constant bitching.

 "Yeah whatever." Mario said. He walked up the stairs to his room and went to sleep.

 "I'll see you in the morning Mario." Luigi yelled up the stairs. He was really tiered too so he decided to sleep in the chair he was sitting in.

The next day Bowser put his and Magic Koopa's plan into action. The two of them, with a lot of Bowser's minions, were flying in his new Koopa Plane.

 "There is our first landing place." Bowser said to the koopa troopa that was flying the plane.

He pointed to a small island in the middle of a vast ocean. Bowser had a castle on that island when he was younger. Magic Koopa's father was Bowser's baby sitter at that time and helped his try and capture baby Mario. He failed because the Yoshi's on the island helped Mario defeat him and rescuer baby Luigi from his clutches.

 "Yes sir." The koopa troopa replied as he brought the plane down in a large field.

Bowser and many of his minions exited the plane, only to see the Yoshi's leader. He was a green Yoshi and was the one who always helped Mario and Luigi beat Bowser.

 "What are you guys doing here?" Yoshi asked.

 "We're here for you Yoshi." Bowser answered.

He snapped his fingers and his koopa troopas grabbed Yoshi and tied him up. They threw him in the back of the plane and got back on. The plane took off and flew in the direction of Mario and Luigi's house. When they arrived some more of the koopa troopas got out and entered the house. They came back out five minuets later with Luigi tied up.

 "What are you doing Bowser? Any minuet now Mario will wake up and notice I'm gone. Then he'll read the note your guys left and he'll know it's you." Luigi said as he tried to free one of his hands to flip Bowser off.

 "That's what I'm hopping Luigi." Bowser said as his koopa troopas threw him in the back with Yoshi.

 "Now we wait." Magic Koopa said.

 "Set a course for my castle, Mario will be coming soon." Bowser said as the plane flew off into the distance.
