Kenta: Whew! FINALLY, IT'S SUMMER! A time for relaxation, a time for peace, drawing, typing...and visiting a dozen college campuses. Wow, to think it's already going to be my senior year in high school...I just can't really believe it, but it's true.

Heheh, maybe I should stop listening to Crush 40's song 'Live Life'...It's making me all sentimental. (laughs) Sorry, did that look like something an artist would put in his comments section? Well, I AM technically an artist, not a very GOOD one, but at least I've drawn my first comic that actually looks like a manga. AND IT'S A LUIGI COMIC! FOR THIS STORY! lol, it's actually a small scene from the next chapter. It's kinda funny, I've got most of my stories ready to be posted, but right now i'm just too lazy to post them. :P Anyway, enjoy the chapter!

"Okay, we've gotten a Grand Star, but absolutely NO Power Stars...right?" Luigi asked Luma.

(Right.)

"And to find the next Grand Star, we need more Power Stars."

(Yup.)

"And to get the next Power Star..."

(We have to beat that thing.) Luma said pointing to the rampaging hybrid.

"I'm gonna die..." Luigi squeaked, his face once more ashen white. (It's gonna happen a lot in this fanfic...)

GRAAAA!

The Dino-Piranha slammed its head down on the ground where Luigi once was before it swung its tail towards Luigi, who barely managed to jump over it. The dino's tail swung around and smashed the creature square in the face, flower petals falling. The scream that soon followed showed its agony.

(Since you keep dodging every one of its attacks, I'll take it you're using the Future Sight?)

"I wish..."

(HUH!)

"I wish I could remember how to...for now-YIPE!- I'm stuck dodging!" Luigi yelled as the dino piranha chased after him.

Luigi, being faster than the Dino Piranha, was quick to run around the small planet and catch up to its back.

(This seems odd...but in a good way.)

"Hey! I'm a plumbing globetrotter! Hahaha!"

(A what?)

"Never mind..." Luigi said, anime tears running down his eyes.

This sucks having no-one to understand my jokes...and that was actually a good one dammit!

Luigi ran up the creature's back, alerting the dino as to where Luigi was, before knocking on its head.

"Allo!"

The Piranha baby swung its head around and around before it began rampaging across the small planet. Luigi held on for dear life, before the baby made a sharp turn, sending it's hard but VERY useful tail towards itself again. Luigi jumped off of the Dino-Piranha just before the tail hit him.

The final and harsh blow knocked the Piranha out cold before it suddenly exploded, leaving a star in it's place.

"I can see why these things are extinct." Luigi said touching the power star, which was then absorbed into his hand. "All right, we still need a few more, so let's get going."

After Luigi gained three more stars, he returned to the observatory and stood in front of Polari.

"Excellent! You gathered more stars! Please send them into the dome."

Luigi nodded before heading to the edge of the observatory, (where you first appear when starting the game) and felt the stars leaving his body. It was a weird feeling; holding stars in your body. At first he thought that they would be like the Mushroom castle's stars, which you could hold in your hand. But these power stars not only merged with your body, you could also feel their power resonating inside of you.

'If I kept a few power stars, my Thunderhand blast could probably take out a good piece of this observatory...that's a scary thought. Maybe that's what happened to Bowser; all that power must have gone to his head.'

Luigi then ran over to the terrace, the first dome he had opened. It had opened up when he had rescued the Grand Star from the reactor, which wasn't as bad as he thought. He was expecting it to be much harder, but apparently they weren't expecting him, which turned to be in his favor as most of the enemies at that base had fought him and Mario before and had become frightened of him.

'Still, I get the feeling that Bowser doesn't have anything to do with this. I think this is all Baby Bowser...and I'm sure he's still got some of his siblings helping him. Although they would probably only help him if they got a few galaxies for their, 'services.'

"A new galaxy is open!" Polari exclaimed. "We're finally getting some more power! Soon we will be able to race across the cosmos again!"

Luigi smiled.

'And then there are some people/creatures who can be given that kind of power and keep their sanity.'

"So what galaxy is it?" Luigi asked.

"Take a look for yourself!"

Luigi walked over to a telescope and looked out to see a small green and yellow planet in the distance, but still pretty close.

'This must be a pretty powerful telescope to be able to see that far out...'

"I can't wait until we can use the REALLY good telescopes!"

'They've got BETTER ONE'S?' Luigi exclaimed in shock.

"Hey...are those...Bees?" Luigi said seeing some small bugs floating around.

"Oh! So it's the Honeyhive Galaxy!" Polari said.

"Honeyhive?"

"Yes! It's a very friendly little galaxy, although...the mandabugs are a little...problamatic."

"What do you mean?"

"The Mandabugs and the Worker Beis (Pronounced b-A-ze )have been fighting since the Mandabugs' King was rejected by the Bei Queen to a courting."

'I'm suddenly reminded of Queen Rotunda...I hope Queen Bei isn't as cruel...or have a creepy witch friend...'

Luigi suddenly started shaking at the memory.

While trying to find a way to save the Mushroom Orphanage with Mario, the Princess and Toad, they had run into Queen Rotunda. They were originally going to be executed, but Mario made some really spicy ice cream to try and save their skins. The queen was trying to get married to a Prince Pompadour (What kind of a name is that?) and had a love potion with her. Mario didn't know about it, and told her to drink it since she didn't have any water.

Long story short, Luigi and the others had to find a way to save Mario from an unwanted marriage and had to make another love potion, which eventually fell into the punch bowl (damn those fate stars...) which the creepy witch drank and saw Luigi...yeah, you get the rest.

"Master Luigi? Are you all right?" Polari asked looking at the shaking mustachioed plumber.

"...Mommy..."

(He's fine) Luma said deadpanning to Polari.

"...I hope so...good luck!" Polari said waving.

~Honeyhive Kingdom~

Luigi landed without crashing, to which Luma gave a 6.7 out of 10.

"Oh come on! That's it?"

(Your landing was off a bit, and your legs buckled too much. You need to strike a pose afterwards too. If you wanna look cool you gotta work on these things, otherwise you'll never have a chance with ma- hey! Look!)

'...did Luma just picture me with...?'

Luigi shook the thought from his head and turned to see a Bei and a Mandabug squabling. At least, that's what Luigi THOUGHT they were doing. Apparently they were panicking, as Luigi got closer and heard, "WE NEED A SAVIOR!"

"What's going on?"

(I don't know, but we'd better find out)

Luigi got closer before he heard the Bei say, "We need the Great Tactician!"

"No! We need the Spear of Might!"

"Brains!"

"Might!"

"Brains!"

"Might!"

"What's going on?"

The two turned to see Luigi standing there.

"We're trying to solve a problem! Could you help?"

Luigi looked at Luma for a moment before turning to them.

"Sure. What's the problem?"

A shadow suddenly loomed over the four, making Luigi look around.

"Did the sun set that fast? No...clouds?"

"NO! THAT!" The Bei screamed pointing upwards.

Luigi looked up to see a doomship, a black and orange flag flapping in the wind.

"YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" Luigi yelled out in both annoyance and worry.

"WE NEED MIGHT!"

"NO! BRAINS!"

"CAN IT! WE NEED BOTH!" Luigi yelled before running in the direction of a hill that the ship was going to dock on.

As the gate opened up, Goombas and Koopas filed out, all in order.

"YOU ALL HAVE YOUR ORDERS!" The Koopa Commando yelled out.

"Orders?" Luigi said to himself in his hiding spot up in a tree.

"KILL LUIGI SEGALE ON SIGHT! BULLET BILLS, BANZAI BILLS, PIRANHA PLANTS, BOB-OMBS, HAMMERS, WHATEVER! I WANT TO SEE HIS BODY PARTS IN FRONT OF ME! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?"

"SIR YES SIR!" The army yelled before saluting the commander.

As the group dispersed, the Commander walked back onto the ship before it took off. The Bei and Mandabug watched as it flew away.

"I wonder who that Luigi guy is. He must be pretty brave to go against the Koopas. Do you know him mister? ...Mister?" The Mandabug turned to the man who used to be up in the tree, but was now on the ground.

Luigi was in the fetal position, his face ash white. He was rocking back and forth mumbling 'What did I do to deserve this? I like my arms where they are...'

"Do you know what he's mumbling about mister Star?"

(He's wishing his name wasn't Luigi...) Luma said sighing and shaking his head.

"...wait...YOU MEAN, HE'S LUIGI!" The two shouted together.

(Yep...)

The Bei walked up to Luigi carefully.

"Mr. Luigi? Umm...can...can you please follow me?"

Luigi snapped out of his horror-induced state to look at the Bei.

"Huh?"

~Moments Later~

"Your Highness, this is the man you've been asking for, Luigi Segale." The worker Bei said, its head bowed to the Queen Bei.

"Ahh, so you are he. Welcome brave warrior."

Why do people keep calling me a 'brave warrior!' Luigi cried internally.

"I have heard of your actions in the Mushroom Kingdom."

"You have? ...Oh!" Luigi said remembering having seen a Bei at one of Peach's Peace Treaties.

"I know you are the more timid of the famous Mario Brothers and are not very well known, but here you are an honored hero."

"Hero? But...I don't DO a lot of things..."

"Do you not guard the homefront?"

"Huh? You mean the house? Well...yeah, but-"

"Here in the Honeyhive Kingdom, the homefront is of great importance. The hive is where we rest, recuperate, and create honey. You have always guarded your homefront, and as such, you have gained our respect."

Luigi smiled. He never knew that people really respected house-guards. It felt good to know people acknowledged him for his few efforts.

"But now, we desperately need your help. As you have seen, King Koopa has attacked our kingdoms, and we are powerless to stop them. Please, we beg of you. Will you help us?"

There was no way he could say no. Not only did they respect him, but he could definitely feel a stinger spear poking up against his rear-end.

"S-sure..." I'm gonna die at this rate...

"Thank you. Please, take this mushroom," A yellow and brown mushroom appeared before Luigi, "And head to the sacred grounds behind me. There, a useful item awaits. If you can take it from its pedastal, then it is yours."

'This is gonna be something like 'The Sword and the Stone', or 'The Master Sword' isn't it...'

Luigi looked at his left hand and looked at the star mark that had been embedded in his hand since he merged with Luma. It showed a blue star with a tail (much like the look of a comet) but had a yellow lightning bolt inside of it. The entire star was surrounded by a large circle with a key and a hammer diagnally crossing each other, showing a user of the 'Future Sight' Tehcnique.

"Heh...this is so cliché."

Luigi then looked up and nodded. Grabbing ahold of the mushroom and taking its powers, Luigi could feel the tingling feeling of the transformation that always happened when he got a power-up. The crowd that had gathered watched in awe as the Green Knight transformed from his normal garments to a Bei suit, with wings, antenna, and the fuzzy cloak of the Bei race.

Looking at himself, he really did look like a Bei, but stuck with the more original 'Bee Luigi' as he preferred to pronounce it as such. With that, he tested his new wings a few times before being led to the sacred grounds.

Kenta: Augh...something's wrong with this thing, as it's not letting me put an exclamation point and a question mark right next to each other...

Sorry if things seemed a little bit wierd, I'll have to check it out.
