Wheeeeee~! I'm back! The cover's coming soon, so you'll have to wait a bit longer. No matter, on with the story!

Only three days after Luigi had gone to find Mario was when the two started to return to the Mushroom Kingdom. The way back was awkward, with constant glances at the other.

'I can zap him, right here and right now...' Luigi glanced at his brother once again, a small smirk tugging at his lips, 'Nobody will know. I can get a good shot, right now...' Luigi flinched and shook his head.

"...You okay? You're acting a bit weird…" Mario asked his brother.

"A-ah, um… I'm just tired." Luigi scratched the back of his head.

"If you say so. Where were you, anyway?" Mario was a bit skeptic of Luigi, but brushed it off.

"I had a run-in with Fawful." Luigi sighed, "He used chloroform to knock me out."

"He didn't do anything to you, did he?!" Mario started frantically looking around Luigi as if he were going to see a horrid injury.

"No, I don't think so. I was out for the majority of my time with him." Luigi responded, "Don't freak out, though. I haven't experienced any pain lately, so I assume he did nothing to me." Mario nodded, going back to Luigi's right side.

'So now you have the guts to tell him something?' Mr. L asked.

'Shut your mouth.' Luigi responded to the troublesome man in his brain.

Mario was looking at him in confusion as Luigi shook his head irritably and stalked onwards.

'I could've got him. He was right there...You idiot!' Luigi thought to himself, clenching his teeth. His arm was beginning to spark up.

"Luigi? Do you see one of Bowser's minions?" Mario called out.

"No! I was just thinking. Come on!" Luigi called back, motioning to his brother to hurry up.

~First Time Skip of the Story.~

After the two had returned, they were both greeted by the worried citizens and the Princess, which had turned into a party. Luigi, by choice surprisingly, had chosen not to go. He claimed it was because he needed rest after everything that went down that week, but it was really because Dimentio and Mr. L had taken to bothering him again, and he didn't need people to watch him looking like a psycho and then suddenly going back to normal if someone asked him if he was okay.

"You're absolutely sure?" Mario asked, getting ready to go to the castle.

"I'm sure." Luigi answered, "Have fun, bro." Mario nodded in return and left the house, the Luigi's relief.

'You sure are being antisocial lately, my friend. Trying to distance yourself before we come? That's a bit depressing~.' Dimentio sang in Luigi's mind.

'Shut up. I wouldn't be able to distance myself from my brother even if I tried hard enough. He'll get back to me somehow.' Luigi growled to Dimentio. His answer was bouts of laughter from the two.

'What?!' Luigi snapped to them.

'You really think...' Mr. L was trying to catch his breath, 'That Mario…. will come back to you…. after we take over? I have my doubts. He'll hate you even more!' Mr. L cackled again.

'Just you wait. Before that idiotic Professor of yours can even get far into his research about this, it'll be too late!' Dimentio proclaimed.

"I'm sane enough to last you for another two years! Come at me!" Luigi hissed out loud, looking around to see if anyone were watching. Nobody was around.

'Really? We'll have to see about that, eh?' Mr. L said.

"You wi-!" Luigi got up suddenly and fell.

"Wha…?" Everything spun around him, and he saw a blackened hand reach out for him. Escaping was futile, as before any reaction was made, Luigi was brought into darkness against his will.

Luigi opened his eyes to see a lone figure standing a ways in front of him. A female, from the looks of it. She had her back to Luigi, looking forwards as if watching something.

Hesitantly, Luigi got up and walked over to her. She turned only a little, as if noticing his movement. Luigi flinched and stepped back a little.

"How...does one like you...fear me?" She asked him, "Especially when...you had made it so this happened?" A sight spread across the area as she gestured to it. Sammer's Kingdom. The bleak area it was when the Void sucked it up. Luigi jumped and stepped back once more.

"But...it went back to normal, didn't it…?" Luigi asked uncertainly.

"No. Sammer's Kingdom will never be the same. Because…" She then morphed into a small, paper-like woman, turning to Luigi.

"It is all fake. The people are no longer the same. They are somebody else. Sammer himself is just a different Sammer. All those fighters are different people. They only think they know everything that happened. Do you remember when Jade Blooper accused you of running away?" Luigi blinked, remembering what the first warrior had said to the heroes when they came back to the Sammer's Kingdom; 'You fled this land like a crying whelp.'

"That...wasn't true. They barely made it out with their lives…" Luigi insisted, looking at the woman. She only nodded in return.

"Sadly….the others weren't so lucky." She told him, and Luigi gasped upon seeing a spirit of what looked like King Sammer with his mouth wide open as if he were screaming and running around in a frenzy. Many other spirits started to join him, and some of the warriors sunk to their knees, as Mario had told Luigi when the latter had asked about the Kingdom.

Luigi then noticed that the spirits were flying upwards one by one, and yelped when he heard their high-pitched screams of horror.

"Somebody help me!"

"King Sammer! What should we do, what should we do?!"

"Why must this happen to me?!"

"Brother, no!"

Luigi flinched as the voices got louder and louder to him. He heard laughter come from his mind.

"A-agh! Dimentio, I will get you for this! You too, L!" Luigi yelled, covering his ears.

"It's your fault, it's your fault…" The woman said, her eyes boring into Luigi, as if staring into his soul, "It's because of you that all of those innocent people are now dead. Can't you hear them calling for help? You prevented their happy lives from continuing. It's your fault." Her voice turned demonic as she said the final 'It's your fault.'.

"No, it isn't! It wasn't me!" Luigi protested, "I was possesed! I couldn't control myself!"

"Lies!" The woman screamed, "You weren't possessed!" The screams of the spirits became unbearable to the poor man, and he screamed as well, falling to his knees. Only then did he realize he was wearing black overalls.

'What…?' Luigi's eyes were wide.

'I swear I had blue on earlier...'

Oh, and the prologue has been changed a bit, thanks to some lovely feedback! Sorry about that time skip there...^.^''
