Chapter Four: I'm Coming

It took him a few minutes to render what Princess Peach just told him, while he stared at the room.

'D-did this really happen after Mario and Margie left to get me?'

Toad kicked his legs around in an attempt to get free.

'Yeah; the Koopalings said that it was the perfect opportunity to strike. While leaving, they said that they wished that they could've gotten you as well.' Toad explained.

Luigi started to breath heavily. He kicked a lamp, only to save it immediately. He turned away from his capture friends.

'Luigi? What are you doing?' Princess Peach asked gently.

'I think he's crying.' Toad joked.

Princess Peach would normally give Toad a slap to the back of the head for saying something like that, and it was obvious that she was trying her hardest to.

'Toad! Can you please be more careful of what you're saying!'

Toad sank deeper under the ropes, trying his best not to say anything.

Luigi clenched his fists, but otherwise made no movement as he faced the wall. The only sound that was heard was the rain.

He could only talk to himself through his mind.

Did Margie really deserve being captured, and having her powers being used by someone else, after calling you a runt?

And did Mario really deserve being frozen in ice by Margie's iceballs for treating you like a child?

Margie would always comfort me, and defend me from danger with her powers, and Mario was always a great leader.

Even his mind went blank.

'Sadly though Toad... I think you're right.' Princess Peach admitted, as she saw drops of water fall from Luigi's face.

'Hey Luigi dude, you wanna untie us already?'

Princess Peach had another urge to deliver that slap on Toad.

The drops of water stopped falling, but the emotion did not change.

'It's... all my... fault... this has happened...'

He collapsed onto his knees, placing his hand on the wall.

'If I didn't act so immature, if I didn't run away...'

Princess Peach tried harder than ever to stand up.

'It doesn't matter if you ran away or not; once they have Margie's powers, with at least five koopas attacking at once, there was no stopping them. You ran away, yes, and they followed you, letting the Koopalings in, and allowing them to take advantage of your si- Margie's powers and freeze Mario in his tracks, but that's not what matters now...'

Luigi stood up, and turned to her.

'But they would never forgive me, for debrotherising myself, and for allowing them to get kidnapped. Now they'll be tortured and the Mushroom Kingdom can never be defended, all because I was acting like a child!'

Toad and Princess Peach flinched when Luigi stomped the ground, clearly persisting in these beliefs.

'Okay then Luigi. If you're so firm with this, then I have no reason to attempt to get it past the thick wall you've created.'

Luigi escaped to his mind once again.

Thick wall? Can't she see what I've done? Mario and Margie could've never succeeded on their adventures with me. I did the right thing, debrotherising myself. If I caused them to get captured, then I...

Princess Peach almost laughed at his face of realisation.

Then I have to free them! They were my siblings, but they are still heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom. I have to fix up my mistake.

'Princess Peach; where did the Koopalings go?' He asked.

Princess Peach finally smiled.

'Most likely Bowser's castle; I heard them talking about 'King Dad'.'

Luigi looked out the open window, and muttered two simple words:

'I'm coming.'

WAS THIS A SHORT CHAPTER? NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE LONGER, I PROMISE.

MARGIE'S ITEM BOX POWERS MAY SEEMED CONTRIVED, BUT I CAME UP WITH THAT IDEA WAY BEFORE I EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT REWRITTING THE EPISODE 'OH, BROTHER!'

IT BEGAN WITH THE SUPER MARIO ADVENTURES COMIC, I'LL SAY THAT MUCH.
