The first chapter is here! I'll try and get this fic done by October 31 (no promises, though), but other than that, enjoy and feel free to review!

DISCLAIMER: Mario and WarioWare Inc. are owned by Nintendo, while Wreck-It Ralph belongs to Disney. Bomberman is a property of Hudson Soft (even though Konami already took it over back in March 2012). The rest of the characters featured from other game franchises are properties of their respective owners. The only characters I own thus far are as follows: Arctic Bomber (Mistress of the Cold), Blaze Bomber (Brother in Flame), Billy and Sid (Wario's fraternity brothers), Phoebe (9-Volt's best friend from another world), and finally, Purple Basilisk and his five Chaotic Bombers.


Chapter 1: Case of the missing partygoers

[Opening BGM: Level Clear Theme (Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon)]

October 31, 20XX...

It was Halloween in Diamond City, with Blaze Bomber's Diamond Arcade World closing early for a party at WarioWare Inc. with every one of the customers attending free of charge in their Halloween costumes. Penny Crygor and Blaze Bomber were in charge of making a list of who's attending, and which costume he or she is wearing. Their list for the guests who weren't exactly associated with WarioWare Inc., though they felt like mentioning Cheerful White and his two best friends since they're from planet Bomber, appeared as follows:

Cheerful White - Pac-Man
Cool Black - Blinky
Cute Pink - Pinky
Yuffie Kisaragi - White Mage (in Mario Sports Mix-style)
Pit - Ash Ketchum
Phosphora - Misty
Arctic Bomber - Chun Li
Billy - Alucard
Sid - Kano

While Billy and Sid weren't associated with WarioWare Inc., Wario invited them over anyways since they were his fraternity brothers from college, as well as friendly rivals when it came to NBA Jam and NFL Blitz. On the other hand, the reason Pit and Phosphora were invited was quite different, though simply because Wario once crossed swords with Pit in the world of Super Smash Bros. He was, however, surprised that Phosphora is out with Pit nowadays, having had a change in heart shortly after Pit single-handedly defeated Hades. In fact, she used to work for the Forces of Nature under Viridi's command until that time. One might say the reason Wario was surprised to hear all this was because he didn't pay much attention to Kid Icarus: Uprising on the 3DS like the other party guests have.

As for 9-Volt and his best friend Phoebe, they (along with 18-Volt, Kat, and Ana) proposed to make this Halloween night a celebration of Luigi's 30th anniversary with at least two Nintendo Wii games on the Wii U console: Fortune Street and Mario Party 9, much to White, Black, Pink, and Yuffie's delight. Pit and Phosphora didn't mind, as long as the party was fun and family-friendly. Everyone could only imagine how the Year of Luigi would turn out in the distant Mushroom Kingdom...


Elsewhere at Toad Town, the people were celebrating Halloween by going trick-or-treating, while Mario, Peach, Daisy, Toad, and Toadette were cooking things up for Luigi's 30th anniversary at Luigi's house (which resembled the Rank D mansion as seen in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon). A distant Warp Pipe appeared out of nowhere, with its occupants coming from Game Central Station to attend the party. Apparently, word spread within the arcade about the Year of Luigi, which prompted Wreck-It Ralph, Vanellope von Schweetz, Fix-It Felix Jr., and Sergeant Tamora Jean Calhoun to warp out of GCS, not wanting to miss out on such an exquisite time of the year. However, due to the Random Roster Race that occurred every night in Sugar Rush to determine which of the 9 racers would appear on the roster the following day, Vanellope left Taffyta Muttonfudge, Candlehead, and Rancis Fluggerbutter in charge for the time being.

"So, you're gonna be gone for how long?" asked Taffyta.

"Until tomorrow," replied Vanellope, "but I promise I'll be back in time before the arcade opens up."

Ralph nodded in agreement "Yep. Don't want the gamers thinking our games are glitching out."

Before he walked out with Vanellope, Rancis made them a quick request. "Just don't make it too long before the opening, 'kay?"

But Candlehead, not wanting to miss her chance to attend the Year of Luigi out of curiosity, left Sugar Rush with her pet Bob-omb, whom she had named Candle Ball. To cover up her absence, she told Taffyta and the others that she had to go and make some important adjustments on her Ice Screamer kart (though in reality it didn't need any since it ran perfectly fine). Thus, she skipped happily while holding Candle Ball in her caring arms.

"It's just me and you, attending this Halloween party! Isn't it fun, Candle Ball?"

She lit her pet Bob-omb's candle wick with her lit candle from atop her cupcake beanie, before continuing, "Good thing that nice lady Calhoun fixed you up so you won't explode on anyone. Between you and me, I can't stand such meanies who use adorable round cuties like you as actual bombs." Then she kissed Candle Ball affectionately a few times.

"C'mon, let's go. La de-da, de-da, de-da..."


Later, the core four of Game Central Station arrived at Luigi's distant home, whilst going as themselves rather than wear any costumes. But to do it without exposing their identities as actual game characters from the arcade, they simply told the people of Toad Town along the way that they were visiting as a family in Wreck-It Ralph costumes. Suddenly, from out of nowhere, a mysterious yet invisible assailant knocked them out one-by-one, followed by Toad, Toadette, Peach, Daisy, and Mario. Not even Candlehead and Candle Ball were safe from getting captured by the assailant. As soon as Luigi arrived from Toad Town in his Tanooki Suit, he was shocked to see the destruction laid upon the party inside his house.

"M-M-Mario? Daisy? Anyone? Oh no!"

Before Luigi could witness any further, Parakarry - a cyan Paratroopa from Toad Town's post office - dropped by to deliver a message. "MAIL CALL! Oh, it's you, Luigi. What happened?"

"I dunno. The minute I was out-a somewhere, and when I came-a back..."

"Hmm. I think you'd better read this. Hope everything turns out alright."

The postman flew off, while Luigi opened the envelope to read the letter inside. It was more of an invitation, but not what he expected. It read: Party at Evershade Valley! Meet the Mushroom Kingdom's finest - Luigi, LIVE and IN PERSON!

Luigi gulped at what he just read aloud. "Evershade Valley? I thought I...uh-oh! The Dark Moon didn't-a break again...d-d-did it?"

[Party BGM: Professor E. Gadd's Lab (Luigi's Mansion)]

Meanwhile, far from the Mushroom Kingdom at the spooky area itself, the ghosts - consisting of Greenies, Slammers, Hiders, Gobbers, Sneakers, and Creepers - were attending a Halloween party of their own at the Treacherous Mansion. While they danced to the music, the Boos reported in to their master about Luigi's arrival. Strangely though, it wasn't King Boo this time...but rather a robotic duplicate of Luigi, apparently.

"Boss! Hey! Luigi-Droid, I-" Before one of the Boos could finish, the robot duplicate interrupted him in mid-sentence.

"No, no, no! You idiots!" complained the robotic impostor. "I wanted blue streamers and green balloons! The DJ Greenie stinks, the banners are crooked, and the cake should be vanilla! You're gonna ruin my party!"

"Erm...boss?"

"Whaddya want?!"

"Hate to burst your bubble, but Luigi's coming after us at Evershade Valley. THE Luigi...uh...I mean that wimpy intruder trying badly, I might add, to impersonate you, who clearly is the REAL Luigi..."

"I thought you said you captured him!"

Another Boo floated towards Luigi-Droid. "Well, we did, you see...heh...oops." He opened up a money bag, revealing Mario inside.

"Mama-mia! If I had an Invincibility Star, I'd..."

The Boo nervously stuffed Mario back inside the bag. "I thought he wore red or something. Guess I forgot, but I promise it won't happen again."

"You ghost boobs!" shouted Luigi-Droid. "My plans are already in motion! Attention, everyone: Luigi cannot be allowed to crash my party! Find him, and spook him so hard he'll leave us alone for the rest of his life!"

With that said, the Boos gathered up the Evershade ghosts to head out to the other four mansions: Gloomy Manor, Haunted Towers, Old Clockworks, and even the Secret Mine.

TO BE CONTINUED...


The nightmare begins, and only Luigi can save his friends now, as well as solve the mystery of what happened at Evershade Valley prior to his arrival.
