Edit: Woops, called the Poltergust 5000 the Poltergeist 5000... ^.^'' But yay, I finally updated! Thanks for your patience!

A sick grin made it's way onto Luigi's face and he uncovered his ears, rising back up. The woman looked shocked. Luigi's eyes flashed, and they became two colors; a piercing yellow and a solid obsidian black.

"Aren't you one of the warrior's wives? You seem in high amounts of grief, like a child mourning it's deceased parents. Yes...that must be you." Luigi-no- Dimentio laughed.

'Hey! You can't just take me over randomly!' Luigi cried out to Dimentio in his mind. Dimentio only ignored Luigi.

"It must not be fair, hm? Would you appreciate it if I…" Dimentio trapped the woman in a box, "Ended you, too?"

'What are you DOING?!' Luigi screamed at Dimentio as the woman cried out in shock. Dimentio snapped his fingers, and explosions came from inside the box as the woman screamed in agony.

'Stop! You're overdoing it!' Luigi cried out, but Dimentio kept the explosions coming until the woman was no more. Luigi gained control back soon after, still freaking out.

'Oh, calm down. This is only a dream.' Mr. L said.

'Yeah, I'm going to calm down when someone was killed right before me!' Luigi yelled to Mr. L, not even trusting his mouth.

'...You're not sane enough to last us another few years, Luigi. You'll go insane before the time is right.'

'...' They were right. Luigi knew their point was to hurt and destroy everyone. That was their goal. If Luigi were to go insane before then… what would happen to his brother? Yoshi? Peach? Daisy? My goodness, he was even worrying about Toadsworth!

The dream started to fade slowly, and Luigi heard an ominous rumbling that jittered his already shaking body.

"W-was that the Void?" He asked, but got no answer as the dream faded. When the male woke up, he smacked his head on the wall, and it seemed like a tremor was going on. Luigi groaned and stumbled up, grabbing the window to check outside.

"I-is Bowser attacking…?" Luigi asked himself, latching on to the window. Nothing seemed to be going wrong. It was just a sunny day as it was earlier. He kept on looking out, but was lurched away forcefully as the house shook from another harsh tremor. As Luigi was flung around like a ragdoll the door opened to reveal Mario as he stumbled inside.

"M-Mario? Weren't you at the party?" Luigi asked, shakily getting up, as the tremors had stopped their torture for a bit.

"I was," Mario responded, "but as soon as I got there, these tremors started happening and I had to get back to you as soon as I could." Luigi smiled.

"To be honest, I thought Bowser was attacking…"

"Haha, that does happen almost every time there's a party, eh?" Mario grinned, scratching the back of his head.

"No, I'm serious. On my search for you, I happened to overhear plenty of conversations from Bowser's minions. He's planning an attack soon, Mario. I know this." Silence came from the red-clad brother.

"Really… Did you hear anything else?" Mario finally asked, looking a bit grim.

"Something about a realistic nightmare… I don't like it." Luigi shook his head and shivered. Mario frowned.

"...I don't like the sound of that either… Hey, how about we come to Bowser's place together when he attacks? I'm sure that'll throw him off." Luigi smiled at Mario's suggestion.

"I guess that'd be okay. I think a good adventure would get me going again." Mario grinned. Luigi jumped when the familiar tune of the Dual Scream went off, and he took it out of his pockets, surprisingly undamaged.

"Luigi, my boy! I need your assistance in the lab, pronto! Something's going up over here right now, so I'll use my Pixelator to get you over. See you soon!" E Gadd quickly told Luigi.

"W-wait, Professor..." Luigi began, but sighed as he heard the mechanism begin to work.

"Ha, he's been the same guy for so long, this is expected… I'll see you later, Luigi." Mario grinned. Luigi nodded, before disappearing in plenty of pixels. Once Luigi had got to the lab, the whole place was a complete mess.

"The tremors get to you as well?" Luigi asked E Gadd, and he nodded.

"Yes, but there are more pressing matters. You see, the ghosts went nuts and-"

"E Gadd, no." Luigi interrupted, not wanting to go into a ghost-infested mansion.

"Let me finish. They haven't gone hostile, but they flew in the mansion and they acted very worried, and they haven't returned. That's when the tremors started, and I want you to come with me to investigate. I fear they have disappeared."

"E-even Polterpup?" Luigi asked.

"I haven't seen him for a week."

"..."

"Don't look so worried, my boy! We'll go investigate! That's why I called you!" He handed Luigi the Poltergust 5000, "Just in case." He added as he strapped his older version, the 3000 on his own back. Luigi nervously nodded as they entered the Gloomy Manor. After a bit of investigation, none of the ghosts were found until…

"Polterpup!" Luigi gasped upon finding the ghost puppy under the dining room table. It was shivering in fear, and upon hearing his master's voice, he immediately jumped into the Italian's arms and looked into Luigi's eyes as if to say; 'Have those two left?'. Of course, Luigi wouldn't have known what the puppy was asking, so he looked at E Gadd.

"Polter my boy, do you have any idea what happened to the ghosts?" The scientist asked the pup as he brought some sort of device out. Polter barked and the machine started whirring. Soon enough, the machine stopped.
