Greetings, prospective readers! Welcome to my first Super Mario creation. Well… actually, I adopted this fic from ReverseFlash1995. He told me that he had no plans of continuing this work of art anytime soon, so after I asked, he bequeathed it to me, and I assure you all, I will finish what he started. Well, that's enough babble, let's begin!
Prologue: It's Luigi Time!
In The Skies Above Daisy's Castle In Sarasaland…
"End of the line, greenie!" snarled King Boo, King of the Boos, who had taken on the form of a human, one who had black and purple eyes, shoulder-length white hair, black clawed hands, and wore a sleek white tuxedo with a purple undershirt, a black ribbon bow-tie and black dress shoes in addition to his new power-enhancing jeweled crown as he fired a bolt of purple lightning from his hand, which Luigi Mario, clad in his usual plumber's outfit with dark blue overalls, a green shirt, white gloves, brown shoes, and a green cap with a white circle on the front with a green L in the center.
The two mortal enemies were doing battle onboard what seemed to be a darker, sleeker, more advanced and even more eerie version of Bowser's Doomships, one that, for some strange reason, looked as though it was decked out for a wedding, all while the ruler of Sarasaland, Princess Daisy, wearing what seemed to be some kind of living wedding tiara on her head.
"You're not so a-scary now that you're a-not a ghost," Luigi said, with a confidence that was slowly ebbing away.
King Boo laughed his signature, sinister laugh as a large blue fireball appeared in his hand. "Oh, trust me, Luigi, I'm still very much a ghost, just as much as I'm still King of the Boos. It took a lot of money and resources to get what I needed to perform the enchantment I needed to be able to take on a new form at will… a more compatible form, that is," he said before he launched the fireball, which Luigi just barely got out of the way of, although he lost his hat.
Before Luigi could recover from the attack, King Boo followed up with a powerful lightning bolt that sent Luigi flying off the ship.
"LUIGI!" yelled Princess Daisy in horror as King Boo walked up to Luigi's hat and picked it up, staring at it with an expression of pure loathing before he tore it to shreds, which were blown away by the wind.
"Now, now, don't fret, my queen," said King Boo as he walked up and placed his hand on the small of Daisy's back. "We still have lots of things to help our wedding planners pick up for our big day, you know. The rings, your wedding gown, your bouquet, the guests, the cake, something that'll pass for champagne, and something for our non-ghostly guests to eat. But, even more importantly, I've got to get you to the church on time…"
Unbeknownst to King Boo, however, what seemed to be a small ghost possessing a top had been watching the whole thing and had caught what was left of the front of Luigi's cap.
Cap Kingdom-Later That Day...
The top-hat ghost creature hovered anxiously around the unconscious form of Luigi, which suddenly began to stir.
"Oh… mama mia…" groaned Luigi as he slowly opened his eyes… and saw the top-hat ghost looking at him. "WAHHHHH!" he screamed, crawling backwards as quickly as he could as the top hat ghost squealed and took off running, or, floating, rather.
Taking several deep breaths in order to calm himself down, Luigi pulled himself up off of the ground and look around to find that he wasn't anywhere he was familiar with.
Hmm… where am I? thought Luigi, placing a hand on his chin in thought. Maybe that ghost in the top hat, can a-help me.
So, against his better judgement, Luigi took off in the direction the ghost had gone, and found that he seemed to be in a village full of similar creatures. It wasn't long before Luigi found the little ghost in the top hat hiding behind the gate into the small town that looked as though it had just been attacked.
The ghost floated up to Luigi, still holding onto the shredded front of Luigi's hat. "So sorry about running away like that. You startled me and... I do startle easily."
"Hey, it's a-okay. I startle a-easy myself," said Luigi.
"I saw what happened earlier. You've been through quite the wringer, haven't you?" said the ghost.
"Yeah, I really have… but it was a-for a good a-cause. Can you a-tell me where I am?" asked Luigi.
"You've landed in the Cap Kingdom. We've been under attack by the same evil ghost that gave you such a trouncing. And to make matters worse, the fiend has kidnapped my little sister!"
"Oh, no! That's a-terrible! She must have a-been that tiara with the eyes that I a-saw Princess a-Daisy wearing," said Luigi.
"I'd hoped to give chase to that evil ghost in a ship of my own… unfortunately, all of our airships were destroyed in the attack," said the ghost.
Luigi looked around at the devastation, unable to believe is eyes and at a complete loss for words.
"Although, now that I think on it… I'm fairly certain there's a functioning ship in the next kingdom over. I could get us there, if only I could reach the top of Top-Hat Tower… which is being guarded by that evil ghost's henchmen," said the ghost.
"Hmm…" said Luigi, placing his hand on his chin in thought.
"You know… it seems we're after the same thing… perhaps we should team up!" said the ghost. "Let's see if we can't help those two!"
Luigi nodded. "I think that's a pretty good ide-" he started to say, as his hand reached up to scratch his head, only to realize that his cap was missing.
The ghost chuckled and put away the shredded remains of Luigi's hat, before placing himself directly on Luigi's head, nearly cutting off his vision.
"I think we have a problem a-here," said Luigi.
"Not your style? Hmm… how about this?"
The ghost floated off of Luigi's head and pulled out the remains of the plumber's hat, before using some form of ghostly magic to turn himself into the completed form of Luigi's hat, before landing back on Luigi's head.
"That's a-more like it!" said Luigi as he tossed his new cap, which shimmered while it was in the air, before it returned to him. "I'm Luigi, by the way."
"I'm Cappy. Nice to meet you! Now, let's get to Top-Hat Tower!" said Cappy.
A Short While Later...
Getting inside Top-Hat Tower was actually pretty easy. Now, however, the duo of Cappy and Luigi were faced with the difficult task of ascending the tower, which was actually very difficult, given the fact that there was a great big wall facing them.
"I may be a-able to jump a-higher than my a-brother Mario, but I don't a-think that I can actually jump a-that a-high," said Luigi.
"Hmm…" said Cappy, before caught sight of some frogs hopping nearby. "Oh! Idea! Luigi, throw me at one of those frogs."
Luigi was confused, but threw Cappy at the frog anyways, and managed to land him directly on top of one of the frogs' head.
Suddenly, Luigi was floating into the air and being pulled magnetically towards the frog that Cappy had landed on. "Wha-wha-? What is happening? Mario! HEEEEEELLLLLP MEEEEEE!" yelled Luigi before he was pulled into the frog's head.
It was almost like he was being pulled through a current underwater. The frog's memories whooshed past Luigi as he was pulled into a bright light at the end, before everything went black.
When Luigi regained consciousness again, he found that he was now possessing the frog's body, which, especially for Luigi, was an alarming experience.
"RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIBBBBBBBBBBBBBBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTT!" screamed Luigi as he hopped around as though he were on fire, desperately trying to get out of the frog's body.
Yes, the first possession is always the hardest, isn't it? said Cappy's voice inside Luigi's head. But, we may be able to use this frog's body to climb up the tower.
But, how do I turn myself back into me? How do I exit this body?! said Luigi.
I'll tell you once we get to the top of the tower. I promise, but for now, let's get moving!
After taking several deep breaths to calm his nerves, Luigi began to use the frog's body to climb up the tower with almost effortless ease. It took almost no time to reach the top, where Cappy kept his promise, and told Luigi how to exit captured bodies.
Oh, my head… where am I? How did I get here? said the frog, evidently confused as Luigi made his way to the door leading to the Top-Hat Tower's balcony.
"Ey, uh, Cappy? Are there a-any side effects of capturing someone else a-body?" asked Luigi.
"Of course not… I think… nah, probably not," said Cappy, although he didn't sound too sure of himself.
A Few Moments Later...
When Luigi and Cappy reached the top of Top-Hat Tower, a force field preventing them from escaping appeared, as a smaller version of King Boo's airship appeared, this one carrying an assortment of Boos, three of whom were wearing different-colored bow-ties, while the fourth was pink instead of white.
"Heh, heh! Da boss warned me that there'd be a fella with a mustache coming along! Guess we oughta introduce ourselves. We're da wedding planners for da happy couple. I'm Booigi!" said a Boo wearing a green bowtie
"I'm Booario!" said a Boo with a yellow bowtie.
"I'm Booaluigi!" said a Boo with a purple bowtie.
"I'm Booella!" said the Pink Boo.
"AND WE'RE THE BOODALS!"
"The Boodals?" asked Luigi and Cappy.
"Yeah. We got dat treasure we needed, so we've got no business in dese parts anymore… although, roughing up goody-two-shoes meddlers was in the contract, so I guess we still got a little work to do!"
Booigi then jumped off the airship and landed in front of Luigi, and summoned a small stack of green top hats.
And with that, the battle began. Reacting almost instinctively, Luigi threw Cappy rapid fire at Booigi and knocked his hats of his head, before following up with a ground pound, causing damage to Booigi.
"Just like that!" said Cappy as Luigi did a backflip off of Booigi's head.
"So, dat's how it is, eh? Well, let's see how you deal wit dis!" said Booigi as he summoned another top hat and disappeared inside, while using his ghostly telekinesis to call the other two back to him. The three hats then began spinning around in a circle before they went bound around the area. Luigi threw Cappy at two of the hats, causing them to disappear and causing Booigi to reappear with a fresh stack of top hats. Luigi, for his part, continued throwing Cappy before once more ground pounding Booigi.
"Argh!" said Booigi as he landed on the ground and glared at Luigi. "Ya got me dis time, but dis fight is far from over! Boodals! Let's roll!"
Booigi then retreated to the airship, which then took off as fast as it could. Almost as soon as it'd left, an electrical wire appeared out of the ground as though by magic.
"That'll teach them! You know, we make a pretty good team, Luigi!" said Cappy floating off Luigi's head to look at the green-clad plumber.
"That a-we do, Cappy," said Luigi as he followed the electrical wire. "Looks like we can a-use this to get to the next a-kingdom."
"Well, then what are we waiting for! Throw me on there and let's get moving!" said Cappy.
Luigi compiled, and together, as a ball of yellow electricity with a mustache and green cap, the two of them set off for the neighboring Cascade Kingdom.
And so it begins again! Be sure to fav, follow, and review, and I'll see you guys next time for the Cascade Kingdom!
