Very slowly, Mario walked to the other side of the room, and put his hand on the doorknob. Could Luigi be behind the door? Mario opened the door, and couldn't believe his eyes.
He saw a huge cage, filled with tiny mushroom kingdom toads, no bigger than princess peach. One of the toads looked up and saw Mario.
"Master Mario!", the Toad yelled ecstatically. "You've come to rescue us!"
"Oh my gosh!" yelled Mario. He ran over and opened the cage. "Did Ludwig do this?"
Every one of the toads nodded simultaneously.
"Well…", Mario continued. "Do you know where Luigi is?"
"Yeah, I saw him", said a different Toad. "I saw him get dragged in here unconscious by Ludwig."
Mario's eyes widened. "And where did he take him", he said softly.
The Toad pointed to a door a few feet away from the cage.
Mario looked at the door, and noticed that it was padlocked. "Is there any way I can get in?", he asked the toad.
"Well, Ludwig left his book of potions out",said the Toad, pointing to a table. "Maybe there's a potion that can help"
"That's a great idea!", Mario yelled, walking over to the table. He opened the book and started skimming through it. "Oh, here is an exploding potion!", Mario yelled excitedly. "I could use it to bust the door down."
"Good idea", said another Toad. "All of Ludwig's chemicals are over there", said the Toad, pointing to a cabinet
Mario opened the cabinet, took out some chemicals, and got to work.
(10 minutes later)
"I'm finished!", yelled Mario, holding up the beaker.
He turned toward the door, and as hard as he possibly could throw, he threw the beaker at it. The moment the beaker hit the door…………KABOOM!!!! The explosion was so powerful, that Mario was launched across the room, got slammed into the wall, and fell to the ground unconscious.
(Some time later)
Mario's eyes slowly opened. "W-what happened?", he said softly.
"Oooh, you've awakened!", said a voice
Mario looked down and saw that he was tied up."What's going on?", he said.
"We have a surprise for you", said the voice, sinisterly
Mario looked up, and saw the face of none other than……Ludwig Von Koopa.
"Oh my gosh, it's you!", yelled Mario.
"That is correct", said Ludwig with an evil smirk.
"Where is Luigi?!", yelled Mario threateningly.
Ludwig put his hands behind his back and started walking in the other direction. "Well, he is going to be in my belly in a little while", he said, reaching into a box.
Mario's mouth dropped open. "Does that mean………."
A huge smile appeared on Ludwig's face, as he pulled a mouse sized Luigi out of the box.
Mario gasped. "Luigi!"
"MARIO, HELP ME!", Luigi yelled.
Mario struggled, but had no success in getting out of the ropes. "I can't, I'm tied up!", yelled Mario.
Ludwig looked at Luigi in the eyes. "I hope you have good taste", he said, licking his lips.
Luigi gulped and closed his eyes.
"I can't believe your doing this!", yelled Mario.
"Well believe it, because I'm doing it ", Ludwig replied. "And you get a front row seat to the show."
"This isn't a show; this is a kidnapping!",yelled Mario.
"You shouldn't whine, because I'll just make your turn more painful", said Ludwig.
"Your gonna eat me too?!", yelled Mario.
"Yep", Ludwig said casually.
Ludwig put Luigi in a pot and started adding various spices.
"Oh no!", yelled Ludwig. "I'm out of nutmeg!"
Mario saw this as an opportunity to get Ludwig to leave for a little while.
"Well, you should go to the store and get some more", Mario recommended.
"That's a good idea!", said Ludwig. He put the top of the pot back on, and left the room.
"Mario!", yelled Luigi. "Are you sure that there's nothing that you can do to help me?"
"Don't worry Luigi, I've been working on untying this rope for the last few minutes!", Mario said confidently.
Finally, Mario untied the knot, and was free.
"Luigi, I'm free!", said Mario, standing up.
"Awesome!", yelled Luigi, cheerfully.
Mario ran over to the pot, and took the top off of it. "Hey bro", he said with a smile.
"We've got to get out of here!", yelled Luigi.
Mario picked up Luigi, and started heading towards the door, when (big surprise) Ludwig came back in.
"And, where do you think your going?!", yelled Ludwig.
"H-how did you get back so fast?", asked Mario.
"I realized I forgot my wallet, so I came back to get it", Ludwig said angrily. "And now, I am going to kill you!"
"Well, what are you gonna do?", asked Mario with a chuckle. "Your just a kid!"
"Well, for starters….I can do this",
Ludwig grabs a ray gun and points it directly at Mario's face
