Mario and Luigi: Crossing Dimensions II
Chapter 10: Back To Their Home
After doing everything they needed to do in the parallel Mushroom Kingdom, Mario and Luigi decided that they needed to get back to where they had came, the regular Mushroom Kingdom itself.
But the problem was was that they were unsure where exactly the portal that led back to where they were was.
The Mario Brothers thought and thought about it, but they couldn't think of where they had come from in order to get to the parallel universe.
"Hmm..." thought Mario.
"Hmm..." thought Luigi.
It was then that they noticed that Wario and Waluigi were heading into a laboratory, and decided to follow them.
"Where they heading?" asked Yoshi.
And so our heroes followed the two mischevious plumbers to the laboratory, which for some reason was located in the outskirts of the parallel Mushroom Kingdom.
It was a pretty big laboratory, although for some reason the laboratory wasn't filled with any robots and Professor Wikid was nowhere to be seen.
However he had left the portal that led to the original Mushroom Kingdom wide open, meaning that they could get back to where they from.
They also saw Good Wario and Good Waluigi as well, and wondered what they were doing there.
"Hey Good Wario! What's up?" Mario asked them.
"We were chasing some guys who looked like us, but we lost them." Good Wario replied.
"They were really crafty." Good Waluigi added.
"You don't think they could have gone into the portal, did you?" asked Luigi.
"Come to think of it, they might, I'm not sure whether we should go inside there though." Good Wario worried.
"I think we should go there. We're looking for a man who's building all these robots and attacking the parallel Mushroom Kingdom...and we're starting to get the feeling that he might be after the original Mushroom Kingdom as well." worried Luigi.
"Alright, if you say so." replied Good Waluigi.
And so our heroes went through the portal to get back to the original Mushroom Kingdom.
Once they got there, they realized that something was wrong with it.
Robots were everywhere, flying robots, normal robots, giant robots, atomic robots, nuclear robots, in general there were all kinds of robots.
And to make matters worse it seems that Princess Peach's Castle and Bowser's Castle had already been claimed. They were rebuilding the castle in Professor Wikid's likeness naturally.
"So that's who's behind this." thought Mario.
"What are we going to do, Mario?" asked Luigi.
"We need to put an end to all of this. The one who's responsible has to be around here somewhere." Good Wario told his team.
"Kupo!" exclaimed Yoshi.
"Mm-hmm. We need to convince him to stop, or failing that use force I guess." agreed Good Waluigi.
"Uh-huh!" answered Luigi.
And so our heroes went to find whoever was responsible for this madness.
But the problem is, Professor Wikid was nowhere to be found.
They tried looking in Toad Town (which was already overtaken by robots), Peach's Castle (careful not to be spotted by any of the robots), Bowser's Castle (careful not to be spotted there as well), and even on Yoshi's Island (which Professor Wikid had actually ignored for the time being)
But in the end none of our heroes were able to find him, and they decided to regroup.
Donkey Kong beat his chest, apparently upset from their lack of luck.
"Yoshi hope we find mad scientist guy soon." Yoshi shook his head.
"I hope we do too." agreed Luigi.
"I suppose for the time being we should try to put a stop to his plans first." Mario told his team.
"Right." answered Luigi.
"But where should we start?" asked Good Waluigi.
"Hmm..." thought Mario once again.
Meanwhile Wario and Waluigi (who were still separated from the others) were looking around for stuff to take, but unfortunately the robots kept getting in their way. Eventually they decided to simply smash whatever one they came across.
And they ended up smashing quite a few, mainly due to the fact that Wario had immense strength and Waluigi had a deadly tennis racket.
But they still could not find any treasure irregardless of where they looked, unfortunately for the two of them.
Wario and Waluigi then thought that maybe they could find some at Bowser's Castle, and they went to check things out at the former castle of the Koopa King.
Would they actually find what they were looking for?
Or would they have no luck like the Mario Brothers when they went looking for Professor Wikid hoping to stop his plans?
Nonetheless, they energetically went to Bowser's Castle, hoping to succeed in their greedy goals.
And so our heroes have arrived back in the Mushroom Kingdom! Can they put a stop to whatever Professor Wikid is up to? It cannot be anything good...
