Luigi's Obsession
Chapter 2: Destruction
"Ok guys, let's head out! Maple and Plum are waiting for us." Mario heads out to his kart along with Luigi and Peach. The weather is perfect today, especially for a long drive.
"But Mario, why don't we just take the helicopter?" Peach asked.
"Yeah, it's a long drive to Sarasaland from here." Luigi added.
"Ok, let's get Toad to fly us over there. That's definitely faster and safer." Mario agreed.
So after a few phone calls, and a little bit of hassling over the phone, Toad finally came out with the helicopter.
"Toad, why won't you just stay with us at Sarasaland?" Peach asked.
"I don't want to!" Toad cried. He reluctantly started to fly away.
The two princesses of Monstro Land are heading down a dark hallway towards the outside where a field of pipes reside, each leading to various lands around the worlds. They enter into the pipe that says, "Chai Town". When they exit the pipe, they find themselves in an empty field about half a mile away from Sarasaland's capitol city.
"I've never taken that pipe before." Maple states as she looks back to where she fell onto the ground.
"Yeah, let's go. Mario and the gang should be getting here soon." Plum rushed her. They start heading out, when all of a sudden, a green beam out of nowhere hits Plum dead on the face. It knocks her cold and unconscious, then she collapses. Maple sees this and runs as fast as she can to grab Plum, then she proceeds to get out of there. The same beam starts flashing but misses her. It shoots about 20 more beams when it finally hits her on the back of the head.
"Ugh…looks like this is it." She mumbles. Then as everything slowly goes black for her, she hears a loud crash and boom.
Tatanga, the purple alien, is seen trapped inside his spaceship. After Toad saw what he was doing to the Monstro Land princesses, he decided to step in and shoot down the evil alien. Tatanga pushes the debris out of the way and pulls out his space gun. Toad then lands the helicopter and lets the Mario brothers out. They are using the power of the Fire Flower to shoot fireballs at this alien.
"Mario, I'll hold Tatanga off while you get the girls." Luigi exclaimed. Mario nods and heads over to where Maple and Plum are.
"Tatanga, what are you trying to accomplish?" Luigi shoots a few more fireballs at him.
"That is none of your business!" Tatanga exclaims as he shoots more beams at Luigi. The fireballs are canceling out the beams.
Meanwhile, Mario goes inside the helicopter to call Daisy on his phone.
"Hey Daisy, it's Mario. Tatanga has attacked Maple and Plum, and Luigi is trying to ward him off. But it is not working. We need your help." Mario explains.
"Where are ya'll at?" Daisy replies.
"About half a mile south from Chai Town"
"On it!" Then the phone cuts off. Mario sits in the helicopter for two minutes to rest, when suddenly, he hears a large crash and a screech from someone with a nasally, high pitched voice. Luigi then runs into the helicopter with black soot all over his face and hands.
"Mario did you see that? Tatanga just flew out of nowhere! Even I didn't know what hit him!" Luigi excitedly says while moving his arms around trying to explain to him what happened.
"I didn't see it, but I think I know what happened." Mario smirks.
"Okay? Well, how are the girls?" He says, looking around the helicopter for them.
"I don't know. They haven't woken up yet. We should get them to a doctor soon."
"Yeah, let's go." And with that, Toad lifted up the copter towards Chai Town.
Inside the castle, Daisy is pacing around a board room, and Toadette is standing there just watching her.
"Do you know what is taking them so long?" She asks Toadette.
"I do not, your highness. But I'm sure they're fine. You, yourself saw Tatanga blown away through the sky. What else could there possibly be out there to get them?" Toadette reasoned with her.
"Well, there's Bowser, but why would he want Maple and Plum? I'm still trying to figure out why Tatanga wanted those two. I'm sure he saw the helicopter with Peach and the Mario Bros. Why didn't he go for them instead?" She stresses even further.
"It was probably because he wanted to take over their kingdom. He thought, 'Two helpless girls shouldn't have a chance against me.' He's just being selfish as usual."
"I guess you're right." Then a Pompeii enters in the room with an announcement.
"Princess Daisy, you have several guests waiting for you in the lobby."
"And who are these guests?"
"Master Mario, Master Luigi, Princess Peach, Princess Maple, and Princess Plum"
"Whew, what a relief, I will be out there in a minute." Then she looks at Toadette,
"Looks like you were right." Toadette smiles back as Daisy leaves the room.
Mario, Luigi, Peach, Maple, and Plum
The whole crew is sitting on the couches waiting for Daisy to show up, except for Maple and Plum who are still knocked out cold.
"Man, you would think she would be dashing out from wherever she is just to see us." Peach said sarcastically. Then instantly, the group sees Daisy running as fast as she can down to greet them.
"Hey guys! I'm glad you made it here…somewhat safely." She looks at Maple and Plum with a horrific expression.
"What happened to them? Is that what Tatanga did?"
"Yeah, Toad said he saw the beam hit them on the head, and they've been like that ever since." Mario replied.
"We need to get them to a doctor!" Luigi says worriedly. Daisy, wide-eyed, nods to this statement.
Mario and Luigi are in the front carrying Maple and Plum as they all rush into the doctor's office.
"We need a doctor ASAP! These girls have been attacked!" Mario exclaims to the receptionist. The Pompeii at the desk took one look at the girls and went in the back. About a minute later, the doctor comes out to take the girls back.
"You all may come back with them. This does look quite serious." He spoke calmly. The group says nothing but goes back there.
The room they followed the doctor back to looks simple and calming. It is a very pale shade of blue, and with the sunlight coming in from the windows, it makes it look brighter.
"Now let's start with introductions. My name is Dr. Pawn." The doctor introduces himself.
"I'm Mario, this is my brother Luigi. That's Princess Peach of the Mushroom Kingdom. This is her cousin, Princess Daisy of…well here." Mario was cut off.
"Yes, yes, I know of Princess Daisy. Now who are these two young girls?" Dr. Pawn referred to the injured girls.
"That one is Princess Maple, and the other is Princess Plum, both from Monstro Land."
"Ah, I see. So, what brings them in today?"
"On their way over here, the evil alien that attacked my kingdom and I once, named Tatanga, came to attack them. Thankfully, the Mario brothers were there to protect them, but by that time, both of them have been hit by Tatanga's laser." Daisy explained.
"And just where did Tatanga hit them?"
"On the head" Mario replied.
"I see. Well, they now require an MRI to see what's going on in their heads."
"Be careful." Daisy mumbled.
"What was that, Daisy?" Luigi asked.
"I didn't say anything."
By that time, Maple and Plum had already been taken to their MRIs.
Maple went in first. After the doctor explained to the technician what had happened, he started the procedure. As soon as Maple's head was fully in the machine, the charts went off the walls. There was so much activity going on in Maple's head that it shocked the technician. Plum had the same results.
"Doctor, I haven't seen anything like this. I will have to do my research and get back with you." The technician explained.
"Yes, ma'am. Please hurry with that research. I don't want to keep our guests waiting."
"On it, sir." And with that, the technician left the room.
