NOW ON WITH THE STORY!

"I can't believe he let you win!" Said Luigi. Mario had called him and told him about what had happened, and the two were now discussing it. They were in Daisy and Luigi's house.

" You can't? Really, it is just like something he would do."

" And you are sure you heard them right? Because no offense Mario but you do tend to misunderstand things."

" Yeah you're one to talk." Mario could see that his words had hurt Luigi by the expression that he was wearing. " Look man, I'm sorry. It's just that am really shaken up about this. I really think he might hurt Peach again."

"It's fine Mario," Luigi said in a rough voice. Mario looked at his brother with a confused expression. There was something different about him… what was it? Then he noticed. It was his eyes. There was a certain tint in them that Mario had never noticed before.

" Luigi are you ok?"

" I'm fine Mario."

" Ok…." Mario still wasn't convinced. But he was too hurt right now to look too far into Luigi's strange behavior.

" Hey dude, I know you need me right now, but I really have to ask you to leave. I'm sorry man."

" It's ok bro." Mario acted like he wasn't bothered by Luigi's odd behavior, even though he was. He got up and left, not closing the door behind him.

I feel bad. I hope I didn't hurt his feeling. It's just that I have other things to do. If I could, I would tell him. I would tell him why he had to leave, but then again... I wouldn't want him to try and interfere. He might get hurt…

LATER THAT NIGHT

Luigi walked up the thick dark steps that led to the door. He tried to suppress his internal screams. Luigi hated ghosts, and this place looked a heck of a lot like a haunted mansion. When he had finally made it to the door, he picked up the handle and knocked, then quickly took five steps back. He did not want to get near what ever it was that might answer the door. After about 2 minutes the door opened, revealing a creature in a long black robe. The creature kept its face hidden with a sort of dark mesh fabric. Or at least that was what Luigi thought it was. He really couldn't see much because it was very dark.

"The Master will see you know." The creature said in a low voice that made Luigi want to pee himself. The creature then proceeded to walk Luigi in to the dreary looking castle. Once inside, Luigi found himself surrounded by pictures. Pictures on every wall… all around him… Thousands of pictures caught his view on every side.

" Who are they?" Luigi asked subconsciously.

" Those are the Masters Apprentices. Or, they used to be." He laughed a bit when he said the word used. It was a dark twisted laugh. A laugh that Luigi did not like.

"Enough looking around, Follow me." Luigi did what he was told and followed the strange creature. They walked for a while, constantly being surrounded by different pictures that were hung along the walls, until they came to a large door. Luigi did notice that form under the door there seemed to be a black steam leaking out. Almost like it was a dark, thick fog.

Luigi was just about to get up the nerve to ask what it was when suddenly his thoughts were cut off by the creature's voice. It was looking up at the wall space above the door. It appeared that this picture was far bigger than the rest.

" He sure was a good one. The Masters favorite and most skilled out all of the Master's assassins. It sure was a shame to see that one go." Luigi followed the creature's gaze up to the photo.

As soon as Luigi saw it he gasped. He had been right, the picture was huge, but that wasn't why he was so shocked. It was the person in the picture that made him gasp. Blue hair, Blue eyes. The man wore bloodstained armor and carried a blood-coated shield. It was then that Luigi knew he had made the right choice. He knew now that his brother had been right, and that everything would soon fall into place.

And it was with this new found certainty in what he was doing, that he was able to walk through the doors that led to the throne of the Dark Master. And with that same newfound sureness, he was able to accept his one and only objective: To capture and kill the Master's favorite ex assassin, and to let nothing stand in his way.

THAT'S ALL FOR NOW FOLKS!
