Hey, well this chapter 3. I hope that you guys are enjoying this so far.

Chapter 3: A Disturbing Encounter

Mario ran as fast as possible towards Princess Peach's castle ahead of the group. Mario got to the front castle gates and ran right past them without hesitation.

Mr. L stopped behind Mario, Luigi, and Daisy and Marshall continued to run fast. "Do you guys hear that?" Mr. L questioned while cupping one of his ears. The group stopped and walked back towards Mr. L.

"Hear what?" Marshall questioned while looking up and blocked the sun's rays. Suddenly a loud ding from far away got everyone's attention. In the distance was Fawful and Tatanga hurling in a small ship towards the castle. The duo crashed into the upper left side of the castle with a barricade of smoke blocking out sunlight. The group looked at each other and then they started running into the castle at the same time.

Once inside, the group of friends paused and observed their surroundings.

"Let me guess, she likes pink?" Marshall hypothesized while glancing around.

"This way," Mario instructed while running to the left, followed by the others. Mario led the group back farther into the castle non-stop. The group reached the throne room in no time. But they saw Bowser inside with Peach.

Peach was standing on top of the throne with her arms crossed while Bowser stood in front of a mirror adjusting a crown on top of his head.

"Does this look better Peachy?" Bowser questioned while moving the crown a little bit more. Bowser turned around just in time to see Peach off of the throne and Mario, Luigi, and Mr. L getting into battle position.

"Oh, look at what we have here." Bowser began while chuckling. "The Mario Brothers along with their L friend; that annoying little flower princess is here as well. Oh and who else do we have here?"

Marshall increased the grip that he had on Caramel while locking eye contact with Bowser. Mario growled while taking a few steps towards Peach. Bowser saw this and walked over to grab Peach just in time.

"Put the princess down," Marshall ordered while glaring at the beast.

"Marshall don't, you might get hurt." Luigi whispered in his older brother's ear. Marshall nodded but he still didn't want to leave his brother's side in the future.

"Finally, we got the earliness before those fink rats did," Fawful replied while trudging inside of the throne room ahead of Tatanga

"I wish I understood what you mean by that," Tatanga responded while walking up into the throne room as well.

"What do you guys want?" Mario argued while stepping up and getting into a battle position.

"Why do you think we always repeatedly come here?" Dimentio questioned while appearing in-between Marshall and Luigi. Luigi felt a shiver go down his nape as Dimentio laid his cold hand on his shoulder.

"Dimentio, there is no bonding with the princesses' apprentices." Fawful warned.

"Sorry to interrupt, oh wait, I'm not. Anyways we will be on our way here. We have a lot of business to take care of in this so say plan," Bowser explained.

"Meaning, Fawful and his trust buddies will be having the world taking before your very eyelids. Now I have the chortles." Fawful chuckled.

Bowser smiled a weak smile and then soon after, Bowser whistled and then jumped as high as possible into the air. Everyone in the room watched in amazement at what was happening in front of them.

As soon as Bowser whistled, his Koopa Flying Car levitated underneath him and he fell inside along with Princess Peach.

"Hey Bowser, I haven't I told you more than once? Stop kidnapping my friend," Daisy hollered over the sound of the propellers on the car.

"Yes little princess, and I do say so myself. I do admire your charming attitude." Dimentio began while leaning close to Luigi. "But you seem to be lacking in the common sense department."

Steam blew out of Daisy's ears as she balled her hands up into a fist and began stomping over to Dimentio slowly. Before Daisy could lay a finger on Dimentio, Marshall put his arm around Daisy's waist so she couldn't go farther.

"Calm down please," Marshall recommended while whispering in Daisy's ear.

"Anyways you two little Mario Brothers won't ever destroy my plans ever again," Bowser predicted while chuckling.

"Oh yeah, well for your information; now there are 3 Mario Brothers." Marshall explained. Both Mario and Luigi awkwardly glanced at Marshall for a second.

"What?" Peach questioned while staring down at the others.

"Well, I'm my own person so I'm not a Mario brother," Mr. L said to himself.

"Yeah you heard him; Marshall is Mario and Luigi's older brother. So instead of having just Mario and Luigi on your tail, you have Marshall; literally on your tail." Daisy remarked while standing in front of the rest of the group.

Fawful took out one of his shocker guns from his robe and shocked Daisy in an instant. A bubble formed around the Princess and carried her over to Tatanga and dropped her into his arms.

"Perfect; this is just perfect." Tatanga growled while squeezing Daisy as tight as possible.

"LET HER GO NOW!" Luigi demanded while stomping up to Tatanga. Luigi tried to get closer to the two but wasn't able to because there was an invisible wall protecting the two villains. When Luigi felt the pretend wall, he began to cry. "All I wanted was for you to let the person I love go. Is that too much to ask?" Luigi whined.

"Quiet now, you are bothering Fawful." Fawful snapped.

"You guys are so annoying," Daisy rambled while trying to push Tatanga off of her.

"Come now princess, you know you love me." Tatanga flirted.

"Hey, back off. That's my girl to steal," Mr. L cut in. Luigi was about to cut into the conversation when Dimentio held Luigi by the neck and lifted him into the air.

"You don't want me to take you now, do you?" Dimentio questioned while choking Luigi harder by the minute.

Without hesitation Marshall jumped as high as he could and wrapped his arms around Luigi's straggling legs. Once Dimentio felt this, he raised higher into the air making Marshall rise higher off of the ground.

Mr. L charged up a thunder ball with his hands getting ready to hit Dimentio.

"Mr. L don't," Mario began while running towards Mr. L. Mario tried to stop Mr. L's attack; but it was too late. The ball of thunder hit Dimentio making his fling backwards into the air. Luigi was soon released from Dimentio's grip and fell downwards onto the ground on top of Marshall.

"You okay Weegie?" Marshall questioned while sitting up and watching Luigi stand up.

"I'm all right," Luigi remarked while dusting off his pants. Luigi stood straight up and then glared at Tatanga once more. "Now, let go of Daisy,"

"Oh, I don't think so greenie," Tatanga began. "This princess is mine, and sooner or later, she will be my lovely wifey."

"That isn't even good enough to be in your dreams," Daisy argued. Tatanga jumped up and a rocket boost from his boots blasted. Tatanga floated in the air while holding Daisy bridal style. Daisy looked at the ground below her and held onto Tatanga's jacket armor tighter.

"You better not bad mouth me princess. I could always drop you," Tatanga warned. Daisy took a big swallow without saying a single word. "That's what I thought." Tatanga flew right beside Bowser's Koopa Clown Car and waited.

"Just tell us what you want and we will give it to you," Marshall cried out loudly.

"I just realized something, I don't like you." Dimentio replied. Dimentio snapped his fingers and an invisible box formed around Marshall. Before he could react, Marshall disappeared and then reappeared in Bowser's Koopa Clown Car, passed out.

"Well, looks you will have the losing will the Fawful gang will entering the winning," Fawful chuckled.

Mr. L narrowed his eyes at Fawful and then afterwards a throw a huge ball of green thunder that him. Fawful flew back a few feet and then put his helmet on top of his head that made him fly up into the air. "Fawful allows this just once, however this is exactly why the little annoying orange princess has no liking towards you." Fawful informed. Fawful laughed continuously while Bowser flew off in his clown car along with Tatanga and himself.

"Oh, this is bad," Luigi mumbled.

"Bad? This is beyond bad. I can't believe he thinks there is no way Daisy will go out with me," Mr. L rambled.

"No, as in that we have to go get them. They probably have some devilish plan and since they have their demonic brains working together, who knows what could happen." Mario remarked.

"More like idiotic brains," Mr. L chuckled.

"WOULD YOU FOCUS?" Mario snapped while touching his forehead.

"Look, we are getting nowhere with the arguing, so I suggest that we find out what they want and where they are going." Luigi suggested.

"We don't have enough time to do that Luigi. Marshall, Daisy and Peach are all in danger." Mario explained.

"When isn't Peach in danger?" Mr. L began.

"Please stop with the sidebar," Mario reasoned.

"How about this? I go to the library to figure out some things while you to figure out where they are?" Luigi suggested.

"I like that," Mr. L agreed. So Mr. L and Mario handed off to Bowser's Castle while Luigi stayed at the Mushroom Castle in the library to figure out some important information. Afterwards, Luigi would meet up with the group soon after.

"Come on Luigi, you have to find something," Luigi thought to himself while browsing the selves of books in the library. "Here we go," Luigi reached out and grabbed a book titled: History of the Mushroom Village. Luigi observed the silver coated book and walked over to the table in the library to open it.

Once there was peace, harmony, and no suffering what so ever in the Mushroom Village. But one day things were changed by one man. This dreadful man was classified by many names. But by far, the name that he was called by others the most was Rudy.

This man created one of the most deleterious events in the history of the Mushroom Village.

Luigi stopped reading and looked up to think about what he just looked over. But his thoughts were soon interrupted by his dog Caramel.

"Caramel, where did you go? Did you hide from the bad guys?" Luigi questioned while picking up his dog and cradling him slowly. Caramel barked twice and then relaxed in Luigi's arms. "Do you want me to read to you?" Luigi asked softly. Caramel barked happily and then lied back down.

"Alright." Luigi replied as he looked at the book to continue to read.

"So, during the time of this dreadful experience, Rudy worked with many others. Those of which were 4 others; Rudy being the most powerful of all. The five conquered the poor village in a few days' worth. But was soon revived by the fellows by the names of Toadstool and Sasara."

"The two men fought until the end. With the help of the Star Sprits, the two men were able to defeat the group and once again returned to a wonderful nation." Luigi paused and looked at Caramel. No doubt that those two men were related to Peach and Daisy. But how was this scenario even possible. The Kingdom was never a village; was it?

Questions were popping up in Luigi's head like no tomorrow. The problem was that were was no one there to answer those questions. Luigi continued reading hoping to find an answer.

Without the Star Sprits coming through for the Mushroom Villagers, it was possible that the people would not be able to defeat the evil-doers. The last words that were heard by Rudy before he perished were:

"In the future generations of my beings, they shall take revenge for me against you darn soul stealers. My revenge will occur soon enough"–Rudy

Luigi slammed the book and locked eye contact with Caramel.

"So we might need the Star Sprits help if this is the revenge that is taking place." Luigi predicted. "This is bad; this is really, really bad. We have to warn the others. Come on Caramel we have to go immediately." Luigi grabbed the book and ran out of the library as fast as possible with Caramel along by his side.

End of Chapter 3, I hope you all enjoyed this. Also review. Thank you all.
