Peach and Junior were taken to Bowser Castle. Junior was smiling, brightly, "I hope this is a way for me to get revenge on that guy," he said as he tried to run to the door.
"Hold on, a minute," Peach said, holding his arm, "We can't just barge in, what if we get caught?"
"You have a point..." Junior said, he looked up at Peach, "C'mon, I know a sneakier way in."
He led Peach to the back of the castle, there was a tunnel, underground. "We can go in here, it should take us inside." Looking around, it didn't seem like Peach had a choice, if it was the only way in, of course.
The duo cralwed through the tunnels, seeing that nobody had bothered coming in here. The tunnels all lead to another black road with lava. "Are you sure this is safe?" Peach asked. Junior nodded, "I've been here, plenty of times, Mama Peach." They walked on the black road, there was a shadow, over them. Peach jumped as she and Junior stepped back, a thwomp was in front of them.
"Uh...Mr. Thwomp?" Peach said in a shaky voice, "If it's OK, I'd like to go pass this-"
"Nobody passes!" the Thwomp yelled. Junior shook his head. "You don't understand. I'm bringing Mama Peach, here, because, uh..."
"I've been kidnapped, again!" Peach said. The Thwomp didn't seem very convinced. "Why aren't you tied up, then?"
"Why are you asking so many questions," Junior growled, "The Koopa Prince demands that you let us go through!"
"Fair enough," the Thwomp said, "Make sure you take her to the dungeon."
"Will do," Junior said, leading Peach to a door. It lead into a hallway with torches decorating the walls. They followed the torched and found themselves in the dungeon. "See that?," Junior asked, "piece of cake?"
"Junior?" Luigi looked outside of his cage, "Is that you? And isn't that Peach?"
"Aren't we glad to see you guys!" Diddy yelled from his birdcage. Peach covered her mouth. "What? How did-"
"We'll talk, later," Luigi said, "Do you think, maybe you could find the keys to our cells?"
"Oh, sure," Junior said, "I'll free you guys, if you let me have all of your candy!" Luigi's palm came into his face, "Not this, again..."
"So, do we have a deal?" Junior asked. Diddy shook his head, "I'll give you half!"
"75 percent!" Junior said, "Take it or leave it!"
"60 percent, I won't go any higher then that!"
"Done," Junior said. He looked up at Peach. "I remember the key to the Birdcage was in the Throne room. The other Key was in Papa's room. I'll go look for the Key to the Birdcage." Junior said as he ran outside of the Dungeon.
"Junior, wait," Peach yelled. it was too late, Junior was already gone. She looked at Luigi. "Don't worry, I'll get you guys out."
"Take your time," Luigi said with a deep sigh. Peach curtsied and walked outside of the dungeon. If she remembered correctly, Bowser's room was upstairs. However, it might be a problem if Bowser's minions were patrolling the area. She stealthily walked to a corner, looking to see it anyone was walking by. She kept her back pressed against the wall. Two koopas were chatting to each other.
"You seriously think the Wii is better then the Wii U?"
"I'm not saying it is, I'm just stating the facts!"
"It's not a fact, you idiot! Face it, the Wii U is revolutionary!"
As the koopas left, Peach began to walk the opposite direction from them. There wasn't really anyone on the stairs. Peacd had to climb so many of them that they were starting to tire her out. She came into the top floor, there were many different rooms, she had to guess that Bowser's room was the one in the back while the other rooms were for Junior and the Koopalings.
Peach walked into Bowser's room. It was actually pretty clean and well kept with bookshelves, desks, and a large bed sitting against the wall. next to the bed was a nightstand, which had the key to Luigi's cage. The Princess picked it up and came out of the room without a word. It seemed a little too easy for her.
Junior was sneaking his way into the kitchen, many of the Koopas were walking in and out of the door, preparing someone's meal. Junior wasn't entirely sure who it was for, but he was hoping that it wasn't Fawful.
He climbed into one of the catering carts and covered it with a sheet. He could feel someone pushing it. When he peaked outside, there were many different Koopas preparing food. If Junior remembered correctly, Bowser always hid the Key near the stove.
"Hey, Frank, where do you want these cakes to go?"
"Just bring them upstairs, Twiloom is going to be pleased, either way."
With the cart, Junior tried to sneak his was to the Key. It was hanging above the stove along with the other utensils. He grabbed a broom and tried to reach the Key. One of the Koopas looked at what was going on.
"Don't worry about it, it's just Boo. He'll tire out, eventually."
"I'm not sure if that's Boo," one of the Koopas said. Junior grabbed the Keys from the broom, shortly after a Koopa managed to grab the cloth and pull it off the catering cart. Junior let out a sheepish smile.
"Get him!" One by one, the Koopas started chasing Junior. He started to knock over random statues to make sure the Koopas doon't catch up to him. He fled until he managed to reach the dungeon.
Peach quietly came in with the Key to Luigi's cell, "It wasn't too hard, was it?" Luigi asked. Peach shook her head as she walked over to Luigi's cell and unlocked it, then she unlocked the chains on his ankle. "Thanks, Princess."
Junior came in all out of breath. "Th-this is the last time I play the good guy," He unlocked Diddy's cage, the monkey jumped out and stretched. "If you're looking for the Crystal Star, it's in Dad's Treasure Chamber"
"What about you guys?" Luigi asked.
"We'll be fine," Peach said, "We'll wait for you, outside."
"Right, let's go, Diddy," The plumber and the monkey began to run, they started heading underground. It was a matter of time before someone got to them.
They made it into the underground chamber, it was dark, they couldn't see a thing. Suddenly, a red glow came from inside, Luigi turned on the lights, they jumped in fear when they saw Twiloom standing in front of them with the Ruby Star.
"Are you looking for this?"
