Luigi's PoV
I ran non-stop to the battlefield. As I arrived I noticed three figures, one I knew was Snake. I didn't recognize the man walking away, but the man who stayed behind looked just like mt brother. This shocked me enough to make me stop in my tracks.
It- it had to be him- It- the darkness. The thing that killed Link! So it decided to take Mario's form. I could now hear them speaking.
The Mario person taunted Snake. " Looks like you have a very small role in this story, don't you Snake? All your worries, all for nothing! It's so sad that you life must come to an end here! You could have been great!" He pulled out a dark, energy- like sword, I forgot what Mario told me it was, that glowed black and red. This snapped me back into my senses. I grabbed my green Energy sword and raced to get to Snake before Darkness brought his down.
Luckily I managed to just make it in time. I felt the force of the sword impact with mine and I staggered slightly to the side, determined to hold my ground. Snake thanked me silently and ran for cover. I tell him I got this and to go find Mario. My sword was standing straight up while his was sideways which was making things a little more difficult for me.
Suddenly he slowly backs up, swinging his sword around the seething it. I swear, his freaking smile! It's really freaking disturbing and creepy! I seethe my sword as well, but keep up a defensive position.
He laughed. "Ah! Just when I thought I couldn't possibly have anymore fun!"
"What are you up to!?" I try and buy time for Snake to get help. Suddenly I think back to Link. I can't wait for them. I have to finish this quickly! No one else needs to get hurt.
"I won't let you hurt anymore of my friends!"
"Your friends?" He chuckled. "You mean those moronic fools who stumble in fear and leave you behind to fight all by yourself? Come now, Luigi, I thought you were brighter than that."
"Why do you say these things?" Great now my headache is back. Perfect!
"You know, I really do think you should listen to that voice in your head a little more. It knows better than you. Let it help you, Luigi!" He knows about Nox. This is really NOT good!
"Embrace your darkness, Luigi!"Nox began chanting in my head.
"No!" I yell, my headache getting worse.
"Become one with me! Let you hatred for your brother consume you!"
"Never!" I can't give in!
"DO ITTT!"He yells, making my head feel like it was about to shatter.
"GAAAWWWW!" I cry out. I... Can't... Give... Up!
"Don't fight it, Luigi. The more you do the more pain you will suffer!" Darkness grinned. I've had just about enough of these two!
I manage to choke back a scream that threatened to escape my throat and draw my sword. I begin swinging wildly while he blocks my every attack. He knocks the sword from my grasp and I gasp in shock. He points his sword at me; I back away in fear. He puts away his sword and walks closer to me. I look around, hoping someone would be coming... No one. Mario. He sent a kick to my stomach, sending me to the ground. Curling up in pain I watch as he towers over me.
"I could easily kill you." He threatens. Then do it! " But I think it will be for fun to just have you succumb to that voice in your head." Like that'll happen.
It was no use, I knew I was already drained from fighting it this long. All I wanted to do was sleep, sleep and never wake up. But I have to fight, for Mario.
"I know you're tired. Weak and exhausted. Let me help you. You can rest as much as you like it you just give in." Crap! He knew it, too.
"Must... Resist!" I struggle. "Can't... Let him... Win."
"Why fight it? Let me take over. It'll make things much easier for you."
"No! I'll...Never..."
Suddenly Darkness joined in. "Listen to him, Luigi! You know you can't resist forever."
"Listen to me!" No! Can't...
"Listen to him!" Fight...
"Luigi! Let go!"It...
"He will help you!" Any...
"Give up!" Mo...re
"Can't fight it!" I give in.
I feel myself slipping away...
...It all goes dark... Mario...
Snake
I never leave a debt unpaid. Luigi saved my life, I knew the least I could do was return with his brother. After searching for about fifteen minutes I found him walking to his and Luigi's house. "Mario!" I yell. He turns and looks at me.
"Yes, Snake?" He asks I can hear annoyance in his voice.
"It's Luigi, he's in danger." I say urgently. He doesn't even hesitate and says "Take me to him, Snake."
Mario PoV
"Mario!" I hear Snake yell. I turn to him, tired and ready to talk to my brother.
"Yes, Snake." More venom in my voice than I meant to use. I was annoyed as heck thanks to Merlin. I was about to apologize when Snake said something that made my heart sink.
"It's Luigi, He's in danger." I didn't even have to process my next thoughts after hearing that I hurry and reply.
"Take me to him, Snake." He nods and we both head off to find Luigi. I just hope we're not too late.
It takes us about five minutes to make it to an old battlefield, now farm land, with nothing on it but an old worn down tractor. AND LUIGI!
I notice quickly he's lying alone in the middle of the field.
"Snake, hang back just in case it's a trap!" I call as I ran towards my fallen brother.
As I get closer I could tell he wasn't breathing. "NO! LUIGI!" I almost cry. I kneel down beside him and try to find some sign that he was alive. "Please, no! I can't lose you too, Luigi!" I can feel the tears about to fall when all of a sudden I hear a low groaning sound and gasp. I look up to see Luigi breathing and moving his head.
Happiness overcomes me. "LUIGI! You're alive!"
He says nothing. He slowly sits up, the gets to his feet. I stand up as well. Something seeming off to me. Though I try and shake it off. "Luigi?"
He turns his head towards me the look in his eyes were... Menacing to say the least. "I am not Luigi." Now I was very alarmed. "Call me... Mr. L."
Suddenly he draws a black and green Widow Sword and plunges it into my chest. Pain shoots through me, but the pain was nowhere as bad as my heart fely for Luigi at that moment. I knew it wasn't him... But now... How am I supposed... To sa...ve...him...? I manage to get out one last word before darkness fall upon me. That word was...
"Luigi..."
