Well, I tried. Unfortunately, this will need another chapter to wrap it up and I didn't finish in time for my weekly Thursday release. However, please do review and tell me what you think. The chapter transitions aren't smooth becasue this was originaly intended to be one long thing, but that didn't happen here. In other words, the dialogue this starts with is a direct continuation of the last chapter's dialogue. I hope you enjoy anyways. Without further ado, here's part two.

Part Two

XxX

"Well, after snatching the key up surprisingly easily, we read the writing on the key half and went to the BeanBean Kingdom's castle garden. There was no security on crew at the time, so we took our chance and went in. We found the other key half without much difficulty, because it was only behind a false wall as well as being on top of a pedestal. Also, it was floating and glowing oddly, which might have given away that it was magical. Either way, that was when the Stupid Malleo Brothers came to stop us. Apparently, Lady Ambrosia somehow got wise to what we were doing and sent them after us."

"So what you're telling me is that the almost indisputably nicest lady around sent the Mario Brothers after you?" the judge asked, the prosecuting attorney sitting off to the side pouting that he wasn't getting to ask the questions at the moment.

"Yeah, she seemed to have told them we were doing something dangerous and stuff, because Luigi here was blabbing on about how 'oh, you musn't destroy the world' this and 'my bro will take care of you good' that," Waluigi responded.

"Oh really?" butted in the prosecuting attorney as he tried to gain relevance. "Well how about we ask Luigi? Bring him up to the witness stand."

"The kid's sleeping," Wario pointed out.

"Well wake him up."

"He can't talk. Babbling won't do too much for your case."

"We'll see if anything he gives us is useful."

"Fine," grouched Wario as he poked Luigi repeatedly. "Kid, it's time to get up."

Luigi only shifted himself and murmured dreamily.

"Loser, IT'S TIME TO GET UP!" Wario shouted, startling Luigi awake, causing him to start to whine. Wario quickly jammed one of his fingers in Luigi's mouth. "Just can it already. We don't have time for a pity party, because you're wanted at the witness stand."

Luigi made a confused noise around Wario's finger before shrugging.

"I'm just as confused as you are. But no time to argue with the idiots, just do the best you can."

The prosecuting attorney quickly came over and took Luigi from Wario, placing the baby on a giant stack of books that was hastily placed on top of the witness stand chair. Luigi barely peeked over the top of the desk and couldn't see the rest of the room too well, but didn't seem to care too much as he stared at the attorney in confusion as to what he was supposed to do to be a witness.

"Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?" asked the attorney.

"Galababada!" Luigi answered, flailing his arms.

"In other words, give me straight answers."

"Wasas baba."

"... Just tell the truth."

"Okie."

The attorney stared at the child before starting to pace back and forth. "The two men that did this to you were telling their story, but you were asleep and didn't hear it. However, one detail as to what caused you to get near them in the first place bothered me. Did Lady Ambrosia send you?

Luigi nodded.

"Ha!" shouted the prosecutor, turning around and facing Wario and Waluigi. "You men are lia-"

The attorney stopped short before turning back around to Luigi. "Wait, she did in fact send you?"

"Ya," Luigi babbled.

"And did she by chance tell you that they were doing something dangerous?"

Luigi blew a raspberry as he made an explosion motion with his hands.

"I see... I have no further questions," the attorney said, before noticing Luigi was off the stack of books already, making his way across the floor to Wario. Wario was especially warm with his extra weight, making him ideal for napping on.

The judge shifted in his seat. "Well that was... interesting. And can you tell us how exactly you made the Mario Brothers like this?"

Waluigi stood up. "I'll explain this one. We used water from the Fountain of Youth on them. Considering we're tresure hunters, we always try to keep things that could be useful on us. When we were confronted, we needed to use something that wouldn't harm them too much, but incapacitate them."

"Oh, really?" asked the attorney. "Well how come you, the men who really don't care about anybody else didn't want to harm who could be considered your rivals?"

Wario snorted before holding up Luigi. "These men are heroes," Wario began, with Luigi giving a giggle from his attention he was getting, "or at least the red one was." Luigi frowned. "Anyways, they're always the ones supposed to save the world from an apoctalyptic disaster that was prophecized X amount of years ago. Though how so many correct prophecies can be going at once is beyond me. However, they're the ones to deal with the problems and not us, so it would be better to keep them around and unharmed until the next time the world starts to end. That way, we don't have to worry too much about our existences being on the line and we can focus more on looting!"

The attorney gained a strange look to his face. "That was oddly... honest... I guess Mr. Orlando can continue with his story."

Waluigi continued his story. "All it took was to splash Red with the water and he was history. Then the Green Blunder didn't hesitate to pick up his brother, and he couldn't properly go up against us without the assistance of Red and with his arms full, so..."

"W-what are you going to do to me?" Luigi whimpered as Wario and Waluigi slowly backed him into a corner.

Mario sat crying in Luigi's arms, burried under the bundle of his old clothes, squirming in discomfort and fear. Luigi was doing his best to protect his brother, but with Mario being turned into a baby and him cornered, the odds weren't in his favor.

Waluigi, as he closed in, pulled out a water bottle. Luigi's pupils shrank.

"No... anything but that!"

Waluigi advanced closer still before pausing, taking the lid off the bottle and taking a swig. "Man, intimidating others makes me parched," Waluigi said before taking a more ancient looking water bottle made of glass out of his backpack.

A single tear came from Luigi's eye. "Please don't."

Luigi began to sob, causing Waluigi to sigh impatiently, by the almost indistinguishable cries of both brothers. "You realize you're sounding like Mario, right? And you aren't even a baby yet!"

Luigi continued sobbing.

"Look, your fate is inevitable. Just put Mario down so you don't drop him and you'll be taken care of," Wario snorted as he looked at his watch.

"Wait, do you mean take care of them or take care of them?" Waluigi asked.

"I mean it in the literal sense! Unfortunately, the rest of the world is dependent on these two idiots and I don't feel like having to take their places as heroes! Just deal with Green already."

Waluigi glared at Luigi. "I suggest you put Mario down now so he doesn't get anymore water and disappear. Your fate is sealed, so just do it already."

Luigi, still sniffling, placed Mario down on the ground next to him, causing Mario to cry even harder. Luigi spread his arms wide, ready to take the hit. It was over in a matter of seconds as he was nearly suffocated in his own shirt before Wario picked him up and moved the clothing article away from his mouth.

"Let's open up the portal and get the dream stone so we can take down that dreamy dinglebat."

"And can you tell us why you, probably the greediest men on this planet, haven't yet started selling this supposed youth water you have to the public to make millions?" the attorney asked as soon as Waluigi finished speaking.

"Easy," said Wario, "We still need to find a million more bottles in recycle bins across town so we can maximize profit and not have to spend so much on materials."

"Oh."

Wario prepared to tell the rest of the story before he suddenly felt Luigi's gums clamp down on his overall buttons.

"Hey, hands off the merchandise!"

Luigi didn't care and kept chewing.

With a harumph, Wario reached into his pocket and pulled out an oddly shaped stone and gave it to Luigi. "There, chew on that. It doesn't have any curses on it," sneered Wario as Luigi happily began gnawing on the stone. "I think."

The green infant stopped and paused for a second before deciding that chewing the stone was probably worth whatever curses it had on it.

The judge sat up in his seat. "Please continue the story. You are nearing the end of it, are you not?"

"We are, but I'll tell it from here. So we opened the portal and nothing significant happened and the whiner brothers kept whining at us, though we weren't harming them in the least. Long story short, we entered the dream world..."

XxX

The light pastel rainbow of colors filling the entire new world of the treasure hunters as they entered the dream world for the first time.

"This place is amazing..." trailed off Waluigi as even the Mario Brothers decided to stop crying and take in the scenery. "But all these rainbows are making me sick. Do they have this place in grey?"

Wario elbowed Waluigi in the gut. "And just for that stupid question, you get to watch the little stinkers."

Wario piled Luigi, who he was holding, on top of Mario, who was already taking up all the space in Waluigi's arms.

"Listen, this is like rainbow unicorn land, or something like that. How about you take one of them, and I'll stay here and watch the other, as well as guard the portal. Alright?" Waluigi asked before dropping Luigi back into Wario's arms and walking away. "I'll be over here with Red."

Wario growled as he walked away, holding Luigi. The baby was too busy trying to grab at tiny clouds floating by to even attempt to complain. While most people would have absolutely melted at the sounds Luigi was making, Wario didn't care and trudged onward.

It was only a matter of minutes before a pedestal with a glowing stone on top with closed eyes came into view. Wario drew closer, his apathy evaporating for a fraction of a second as a smile drew across his face. Was this the end of his journey... well, it wasn't too great of a journey and was rather short, but he was still happy to reach his goal.

Suddenly, just as Wario was steps from the stone, a giant rainbow-colored wall dropped down in front of him, clanging surprisingly loud against the spongey cloud ground. A voice sounded from no real distinguishable source.

"May him who is pure of heart come forth and be judged in my square... OF DOOM!"

Wario burst out laughing. There were multiple things to laugh at. First, the "square of doom" didn't seem like too much of a valid threat. Second, even though it was clear to Wario that there was no way he'd pass the pureness of heart test, the answer was too easy.

Wario looked along the ground before finding the glowing white outline of a square and placed Luigi, who had somehow tangibly caught a cloud and was playing with it, in the very center. The square began to glow even brighter.

"MORTAL, YOU ARE NOT PU- Wait, this is probably the most innocent boi I've ever seen. I guess I kind of have to let you in."

The cloud Luigi was holding began to poke him, as if alive, and caused Luigi to giggle adorably.

"Yeah, I guess this fella really can't do anything bad. You can pass, little guy," said Indiscernable Voice.

As quick as it appeared, the gate disappeared. Wario, who had been standing out in the open the entire time, snickered. Could whatever thing that was only see what was inside the square? How pathetic.

Wario began to walk briskly, scooping up Luigi as he neared the stone. Now the treasure was his for the taking.

Sorry for this story needing to get another chapter, but I still hope you enjoyed this. Please leave a review. Also, the next chapter will be posted as soon as it is finished, then this story will be complete. And if you're wondering why nobody asked why Wario and Waluigi haven't changed Mario and Luigi back, that question didn't fit in this chapter and will be in the next! I have nothing else to say, so Norm out! And remember that if your water isn't grass fed and free-range, then that's abusive.
