Squish!

Iggy koopa had killed Ludwig, and laughed maniacally. The dark, demented Iggy koopa walked out of bower's castle.

Meanwhile…

In the mushroom kingdom, Mario and Luigi were playing a card game. "Mario! This is not entertaining at all!" Luigi complained.

"Fine. But we are not going to princess Peach's castle. Every time you mentioned that, we went, Bowser appeared, and I got stuck in colossal adventures." Mario was staring at his cards.

"Bowser hasn't showed his face in a while…Maybe we should practice? Have a friendly fight?" Luigi asked.

"Luigi, go fish is technically a friendly battle. A battle of card gaming." Mario yawned.

"Mario! Luigi! Check the mailbox!" Parakarry's voice called from outside.

"Dear Mario bros,

I will declare war upon the mushroom kingdom. My army has become tenfold in power. If you want to stop the war, meet me at shooting star summit. I shall call off the attack, if one of you accepts death. Consider it the price for your troubles to the koopa kingdom. If either of you do not show up within twenty-four hours, We shall attack. Enjoy your last hours, as only one of you will survive.

From your most feared foe,

Anonymous"

"What do we do?" Luigi was biting his fingernails.

"You will act like nothing has happened. I am going to finish Bowser, once and for all." Mario's face was filled with anger.

Mario headed to the shooting star summit, only to see something else…
