Darkness within and along the road
It was a quiet morning in Mushroom Kingdom. Its people walked slowly or occasionally took the bike to work and some took the car, it didn't really matter. But however all of them could feel that gloomy aura hanging over the kingdom, they all felt the sorrow over the accident that befell Luigi and the timely disappearance of Mario, the princess and some of their friends. Yes it was a quiet morning.
In a hospital not too far away from the town, in a white room next to the bed sat Toadette, looking down on Luigi. She sighed silently as she looked at the injured man in front of her; he was still asleep and showed no signs of waking up. Drawing her knees up to her chest she sighed again and rested her head upon them. 'What can I do?' She thought bitterly.
'I promised Mario that I would take care of Luigi in his place…But I don't know what I really can do,' She sighed for the third time and scooted her chair closer to the bed and peered down at the unconscious green but now white clad man. Hesitating slightly she reached forward and brushed her hand through Luigi's hair, feeling how soft and a bit hard it was, due to the fact it was indeed blood soaked before.
'There's gotta be something that I can do, right? Come-on think Toadette. What will always make an unconscious person better?' She furrowed her brows for a second, deep in thought, before her eyes widened in realization and then she smiled. She looked out the window and took a deep breath.
"Beautiful morning isn't it Luigi?" She said in a small but audible voice. "Although it's a bit quiet, but that can't be helped. After all they're all worried about you, you know," She continued and smiled down at him.
"You wouldn't believe how many strangers that have come to give you gifts. They all see you as a hero now! After all you did save us and for that I thank you Luigi," She laughed a little. "Mario and the others are on their way to Kiwi Island right now, you know! They're going to bring you back a replacement heart so that you won't…" Toadette trailed of that sentence, she couldn't finish it.
"It's probably very dangerous though, since it's a monsoon surrounding that island. But they don't care, they're brave…Unlike me," She whispered sadly and looked away. But if she hadn't looked away, she might have seen Luigi's closed eyes twitch for a split second before going still again.
The rest of the morning to the evening Toadette stayed by Luigi's side, just talking about anything. Just to make him feel better. And she came back the next morning and did the same procedure over again.
(--)
The wind was blowing harshly against the buildings of the town. In a corner of one building a cloaked dark figure stood, peeking around the corner towards the hospital were Mario and his friends went in. It leered at the hospital before it dug for a strange device inside its coat. Taking it out it flipped it open and spoke into it in a quiet raspy voice. "This is agent X to headquarters, come in headquarters, over," It waited ten seconds before it heard an angry reply.
"Yes, yes I hear you…And stop using that stupid Agent X crap! It's ridiculous," The voice snapped through the device, now revealed as a long ranged walkie talkie.
"I'm so-sorry Lord Cr…" But before it could finish that sentence the voice interrupted it with a roar.
"Quiet you idiot! Don't say my name, someone might be listening. Now what is your status report?" The figure jumped at the angry voice before answering in a shaky voice.
"Ahh yes, well you see, they've reached the hospital. Bu-but it's the wrong one," It was met with silence before the voice in the other end answered. "Hmm good, good. Is the bridge out?" The voice asked in a calm voice as the cloaked figure once again stuttered out a yes.
"Good. This means they'll have to take the mountain path. Now you go ahead and stop them…But don't you dare fail me, or else," The voice finished with a threat before the walkie talkie went silent. The cloaked figure gave out a shaky breath and put away the walkie talkie and glanced around the corner towards the hospital to see Mario and his friends being led towards the jungle by the police. It got up on its hover board and followed silently.
(--)
It was cold and muddy along the mountain trail, and it was hard to move forward but Mario and his friends just endured it and pushed forward, deeper into the jungle. The trees were getting bigger and thicker, and the rain was being stopped by the massive leaves and the wind could not reach them any longer, but it didn't make them safer.
"Man I'm freezing and I'm hungry," Waluigi complained with a grumble as they for once went down a path instead of up.
"Oh stop your whining. It's not going to help us," Daisy snapped and focused her eyes on the road ahead, looking for the signs the old policeman talked about. "Oh yeah! Well I got something to say to you. Shut Up," Waluigi snapped back and growled.
"What was that? Don't make me come back there and kick your ass," Daisy growled and glared at Waluigi over her shoulder and Waluigi returned the stare.
"Stop it both of you! This is no time to be fighting, remember we have to get to other town as quickly as possible," Peach said trying to calm down the two fighting friends. Yoshi gave a whine in agreement and glanced at his right at Mario. Mario wasn't listening at his friends ranting; he was too lost in thought about Luigi to notice. Yoshi gave him a worried look before he moved closer so that his bike was right next Mario's.
"Are you alright?" Yoshi asked and snapped Mario out of his trance. "Huh? What? Oh, umh, yes Yoshi. I'm fine, don't worry," Mario answered and gave the green dinosaur a smile and Yoshi sighed in relief.
'Wow, Mario is really worried. Nothing strange there really, I'm worried about Mama Luigi too. And he is Mario's brother, I believe I would be worried too if my brothers were injured like that and dying,' Yoshi thought with a frown, but smiled a little when he realized that he had unconsciously called Luigi Mama in his own head. The green clad plumber had always hated being called that, and since Yoshi grew up he stopped calling Luigi Mama. But deep down Yoshi knew that would always somehow see Luigi as his Mama, after all Luigi had brought him and his brothers up along with Mario.
Suddenly filled a new strength, Yoshi sped up. Determined to save Luigi no matter what. Daisy washed Yoshi from the corner of her eye and smiled at the dinosaur's determination and felt proud of him. She furrowed her brows as she thought of Luigi. Man did she miss him.
'I swear when we're done with this quest, I'm telling Luigi exactly how I feel,' She thought with a nod, refusing to say word 'If'. They couldn't fail, no matter what.
They all sped up somehow filled with strength to push themselves over their own limits, and filled with thoughts of Luigi. The man whom had saved them all and now it was their turn. 'Luigi…Are you alright right now? Are you lonely?...Don't worry we will not fail you. I will not fail you…Ever again,' Mario growled as he and his friends went deeper into the jungle.
(--)
Pain! Pain was the first thing he noticed as he began to stir from the ground. Groaning he lifted himself slightly from the ground with his arms, pushing his stomach from the cold floor. Luigi felt so damn tired and his body ached but the fatigue was worse. But despite of this he still forced his body to rise from the ground.
Slowly he pried his eyes open to met only darkness before his vision. 'Wha…Am...I blind?' He thought and looked around before holding one hand in front his face, he could see it. Nope, if had been blind then he definitely wouldn't be able to see his own hand or body. But this only made it weirder, because if he wasn't blind he could only conclude that he was in a dark room; but if he had been in a dark room he wouldn't be able to see his own body at all.
He slowly rose from the ground and stood shakily up on his legs and looked around again. All he could see was darkness as far as the eye could see, there was nothing in here. 'What is this place?' Luigi thought and began to slowly walk in a random direction.
After walking for about ten minutes he was met with the same sight, nothing. Sighing audibly he stopped and spoke loudly to himself. "What the hell is going on? Where the hell am I?"
"Now that´s a very good question," A dark voice suddenly said. Flinching visibly Luigi turned around and said in a frightened voice.
"Who-who's there?" But he saw nothing. Turning around to all directions he was still met with only darkness. He heard a low chuckle to his left and turned towards that direction but saw nothing again. "St-stop hiding a-and show yourself," Luigi demanded in a shaky voice. Then he felt a cold shiver run down his spine and he froze, he could feel eyes staring at him from behind but his body stood frozen in place, unwilling to move.
He swallowed hard and willed his body to turn around, and slowly he looked over his shoulder. What he saw made his whole body turn to ice and his eyes widened in fear. There, sitting on a black block, leering down on Luigi was himself.
But this 'Luigi' was entirely different from himself. This person looked like him, by full appearance but all of his clothes were white. White shoes, white overalls, white sweater, white gloves, a white hat but with a black mark and a white 'L' on it; white skin, white hair and even his moustache was white. The only thing that wasn't white was the black teeth in his mouth and the eyes. His whites were black and those usually blue eyes were blood red with black slits.
This person that looked like himself was sitting slightly higher up than him on the black block, with his left leg crossed under him and the right leg bent, he was leaning on the right knee with his right elbow on it and he had his head resting in right his palm. He was smiling a creepy smile, showing those black teeth and Luigi felt the cold shiver run down his spine again.
"Wh-who a-a-are y-you?" Luigi asked in a shaky frightened voice as he looked up on the figure on the block. The white and black Luigi hummed for a bit before answering in the same dark, cold and low voice.
"Hmm, now that is an excellent question. Who am I? Hmm, yes who am I?" He answered and jumped down from the block and walked slowly towards Luigi with a sinister grin on his face, making Luigi back away slightly.
"Wh-what do you mean?" Luigi asked, feeling his body shake furiously as the figure got closer. The dark figure just laughed and began to slowly walk around Luigi in a circle.
"What do I mean? Who am I? Such excellent questions. I am everything you're not and I am all that you are! I am your fear and sorrow. Your anger and hate. Your desire and greed. I am your pride and lust. Your emptiness and darkness. I am everything and nothing. I am you, Luigi!" The figure answered and loomed over Luigi's right shoulder, leering into his frightened face. Luigi felt the air leave his lungs as this dark figure finished that sentence.
"How…How's that possible? I've never seen you before a-and I know me! You can't be me!" Luigi answered, suddenly feeling angry and found the courage to glare at his darker self. The figure just laughed again and backed away only to walk and stop right in front of Luigi's face.
"What does it matter? I am you and you don't know me. Because you're too blinded by yourself to notice, what slowly grew within that void of your heart," It answered and smirked mockingly at Luigi, whom flinched again.
Not believing what he was hearing, Luigi demanded again a stronger voice. "What the hell are you talking about? Who the fuck are you?" The figure just laughed again and answered.
"I told you. I am you, but if you insist of identifying me with a name, then it's Incognito," The figure, now identified as Incognito said and gave a small bow. Luigi stared at him in silence before he found his voice again.
"O-ok Incognito. If you're me. Then do you know where we are?" Luigi asked and looked around. Incognito just laughed and turned his back to Luigi and replied in mocking voice.
"Of course I know where we are! Isn't that obvious?" Incognito smirked at Luigi's confused eyes. "We're in your mind. Where else could we be? How else am I able to speak with you, if not in here?" He continued and looked at Luigi over his shoulder.
Luigi flinched again and glanced around again before locking eyes with Incognito. "Then…Why am I here?" Luigi swallowed and waited for the answer.
"What do you think? What was the last thing you remember?" Incognito asked and turned to look at him. Luigi frowned and closed his eyes to think.
'Let's see. I woke up after a nightmare, Mario and I went to the stadium, the race began, I tried to stop Mario before the bombs went off and then…' Then it him, as he realized that he was caught in the blast.
"Hahahaha, so it seems that you remember it now! Yes you're in the hospital after you got blown away by the bombs," Incognito smirked, enjoying the fear in Luigi's eyes.
"Bu-but if I'm in the hospital. Th-then it means I'm still alive, right?" Luigi asked with a hopeful smile. But the smile left his face as Incognito chuckled darkly again. "Wh-what's so funny?" Luigi demanded.
Incognito turned around and leered at Luigi before replying. "Yes you're alive but far from living!" Luigi flinched and started to hug himself slightly.
"What do you mean?" He asked in a quiet voice. Incognito's mouth then shifted from a smirk to a twisted smile.
"It means that you're alive but dying, Luigi," Luigi's whole body froze and his eyes going wide in fear. "You were badly injured and now your heart is failing you. And soon you will die and there ain't a thing the doctors can do about, after all they don't have a heart to spare,"
Luigi felt everything stop and he sunk down his knees, hugging himself tightly. 'I'm…I'm dying? But…But what will happen to Mario? I can't leave hi…' His head shot up in realization. Mario! What happened to his friends? Were they alright?
"Are they alright? Is Mario and the rest alright?" Luigi asked in a frightened and panicked voice, looking pleadingly at Incognito.
"Heh heh heh, don't worry! They're alright," Incognito answered and chuckled silently. Luigi relaxed a bit but immediately got up and rushed forward and grabbed Incognito by the shirt.
"Are you sure? You're not lying to me are you? Cause if you are, I'll kick your fucking ass," Luigi growled and glared at his darker self in anger. Incognito just chuckled again and grabbed Luigi's hands lightly with his own.
"Yes I'm sure. What reason do I have to lie to you?" He asked, feigning innocence. Luigi didn't believe him and tightened his grip, sneering at him.
"Bullshit! How the hell do you know that? I'm unconscious right? Then how the fuck can I know that they're alright?" Luigi growled, gritting his teeth. Incognito's smile vanished and he returned the glare with a cold one.
"Just because you're unconscious, doesn't mean that you're deaf! The body unconsciously picks up things it hears, even if the lights are out," Incognito stated and pried Luigi's hands off. Feeling an immense relief, Luigi closed his eyes, gripping the shirt where his heart was placed in a tight grip with one hand and the other one his head.
"Oh thank God! What a relief, they're alright. They're safe and out of danger," Luigi said with a shaky breath, feeling the relaxed at last. But that safe feeling immediately left him as Incognito began to chuckle slowly at first and then burst out in a roaring laughter. Feeling fear and anger fill his body Luigi screamed with a demanding voice. "What the fuck is goddamn funny?"
Incognito kept on laughing until he was out of breath. After he stopped laughing he looked at Luigi with a mocking smirk once again. "Who says that they're safe?" Luigi's eyes widened at that and once again grabbed the dark copy's shirt in a fierce grip.
"What the hell do you mean?" He demanded and glared at the dark figure again but this time with slight hatred. Incognito's smirk widened and his blood red eyes narrowed a bit before replying.
"What I am saying is, my dear Luigi, is that your friends aren't as safe as you think they are! You see, none of the hospitals close the one you're in has a heart to spare. Except for the one on Kiwi Island and Mario and the others decided to be noble and retrieve it!" Luigi's eyes narrowed and his lips pressed together in a thin line.
"So? Isn't that a good thing? They're obviously trying to save me from dying. And what could be so wrong with retrieving a heart?" Luigi asked, feeling that uneasy feeling in his gut, threatening to break out any moment now.
Incognito just closed his eyes and once again pried Luigi's hands off. "Well it would be all good, hadn't it been for the fact, that there's an enormous monsoon residing on that island right now. And your friends are on their way towards it right now," Incognito finished with a smirk, seeing Luigi's frightened eyes once again.
Luigi slowly backed away, eyes going wide as he looked up and whispered in a quiet voice. "Mario,"
(--)
"Are we there yet?" Mona whined as they passed the tenth sign on the road. Wario groaned and shot his girlfriend a halfhearted glare.
"No, Mona. We're not there yet. And I doubt that we'll reach the other side today," Wario replied dryly and looked forward again, feeling the fatigue from that morning hitting him in full force. Mona pouted and said in a quiet voice.
"Was just asking, don't have to be so angry about it," Wario glanced back at her before sighing again. He would talk to her later, but right now wasn't the right time. He focused his eyes on the road again, but had he kept his eyes on her longer, he would have noticed the hurt look in her eyes and the tear that ran down her cheek.
"Man I'm so damn hungry! Princess can't we take a break soon and eat?" Toad asked as his stomach growled loudly for everyone to hear. Mario glanced back at his friends, seeing the tired and hungry looks on their face he answered.
"We'll take a short stop after the next sign," He looked back at the road, fighting back the pang of hunger again as he sped up, the others following shortly after.
(--)
"Hmm, let's see here. It should be here somewhere. Ah there it is!" The cloaked figure said and rushed forward towards the sign. "Here's the road that had to be closed due to danger and redirected," It smirked and leaned close to read the sign out loud.
"WARNING! Danger up ahead, take the other route," The sign read. "Well that's something that needs to be fixed," It smirked again and pulled the sign out of the ground and then put it in front of the safe road instead.
"There! That's better," It laughed before glancing over its shoulder to see Mario and his friends closing in. "Oh shit! I need to hide," Frantically it took its hover board and hid in a bush.
"Look over there. It's the next sign!" Daisy shouted and pointed at it.
"Finally! I thought we would never stop to eat," Toad groaned and everyone else nodded in agreement.
"Mario, wait!" Peach suddenly said as Mario made an attempt to cross the sign.
"What is it Peach?" He asked and backed away from the sign.
"Look at the sign. It says that's there danger up ahead!" Peach answered and pointed at it. Mario leaned forward a bit and read the sign.
"I see. Then perhaps we should continue forward just a bit to get away from it?" Mario said and moved towards the other road.
"Aww, but Mario you promised," Toad whined and Yoshi nodded in agreement, clutching his stomach painfully. Mario gave them a gentle smile.
"Don't worry, we'll just move away from this road a bit and then we can eat," Mario said and took off on the other road.
"I'm beginning to doubt my choice in making you the leader of this expedition," Waluigi muttered and took after him with a growl. The others followed after, not noticing the hidden figure in the bush.
"Hehehe, mission redirection complete," It chuckled evilly and took off on its hover board. "Goodbye Super Mario,"
(--)
After five minutes the tired heroes stopped at an open clearing in the jungle. "Ok we'll take a short break here and then we take off again," Mario said and took off his helmet and got off the bike.
"Ahh, I'm in heaven," Toad said dramatically as he sprayed himself out on the ground. Peach giggled a bit before taking out the food from the backpacks and placed them in the middle between her friends.
"Man I'm starving," Wario said and took a big bite of his sandwich.
"Agreed," Waluigi answered and wolfed down his food. Everyone ate their food in a hungry manner and sighed in delight as their stomachs were filled. Yoshi finished his meal first and leaned back on his palms behind his back to inspect the surrounding.
It was an empty spot and very quiet, the only things he could see was some random, giant leaves sprouting out from the ground. Hold the phone! It was way too quiet. Normally there would be at least the sounds of birds or other animals, but there was nothing here.
Yoshi sniffed the air and the scent that hit him, made him stand up quickly, growling towards the direction of the sprouting leaves. "What's the matter Yoshi?" Mona asked and everyone else went silent and watched the green dinosaur with an uneasy feeling.
"We're not alone!" Yoshi answered. And when he finished that sentence the ground began to shake, making everyone shot up to their feet, taking a defensive position. Suddenly giant piranha plants shot up from the grounds, surrounding them completely.
"Yikes!" Toad yelped and hid behind Peach's leg. Mario felt sweat run down his temple and swallowed the lump in his throat.
"Ok. I think this is the sign that we should get out of here," Mario said, never leaving his eyes from the plants. Everyone nodded in agreement as the slowly made their way towards the bikes. The piranha plants followed them as they slowly moved closer to the bikes and then one of them opened its mouth and let the drool drip out from its razor sharp fangs and the rest of the plants following shortly after. "Run!" Mario said and darted towards his bike and got on it and took off, as the plants shot forward with their fangs open.
The others quickly got up on their bikes and avoided the stretching necks and fangs that shot out in an attempt to eat them. The sped up, trying to outrun the plants fangs and grabbing vines, only to find more piranha plants sprouting up from the ground trying to eat them. Suddenly a big one stretched its neck out, blocking the way. "Oh no!" Peach gasped as they were closing in to it.
"Ahh, we're doomed!" Waluigi cried and avoid a snapping piranha seedling. Mario gritted his teeth, feeling panic rise in his chest. Suddenly Daisy shot past him in rapid speed towards the blocking piranha plant.
"Daisy, no!" Peach shouted after her friend in an attempt to stop her. Daisy didn't listen, she sped up and avoided the other snapping plants and headed straight towards the blocking piranha plants mouth. Then she took a sharp turn to the left and took off over the plants' giant leaf and jumped over it. "Come-on hurry! You can do it too!" She shouted over her shoulder. Without a second thought Mario followed after and did the same as Daisy, the rest following shortly after.
"Man I thought for a second there, that we were goners" Wario said in relief.
"Don't relax yet, we still need to get out of here!" Mario shouted as they avoided more plants reaching for them. They did this for three minutes before Toad suddenly shouted. "Look! There's the way out" He pointed up ahead and saw the open and plant free road, leading up and away from the piranha infested clearing.
"Come-on, we're almost there," Mario yelled and sped up even more. Closer and closer they could see the light from the cleared road up ahead. Avoiding plants from left to right they was almost there, when suddenly the ground from underneath them shot up and they all went flying in the air to only be grabbed by vines from the biggest piranha plant they had ever seen. "Fuck," Mario shouted, trying to pry himself free from its tight grip.
Toad, who had been lucky enough to land safely on the ground, looked up to see his friends being held by the giant plant, struggling to get free. 'Oh No! What should I do?' He thought, beginning to panic as the giant plant opened its mouth and moved his friends closer, trying to eat them.
Toad looked around frantically, before a shout from his right caught his attention. There was Yoshi on the ground with him, surrounded by piranha seedlings. And next to him was Mario's red backpack that must have flown of by the fall. That's it!
"Yoshi, toss me the backpack!" He shouted, catching the green dinosaur's attention. Yoshi looked to his right and saw the red bag lying there and quickly picked it up before tossing it towards Toad, before returning his attention to the seedlings and growled in annoyance.
Toad caught the backpack and hastily dug inside it and retrieved the fire flower in it and rushed forward screaming. "Mario, catch!" And tossed the flower towards said man.
Mario, who had been busy trying to pry himself from the vine, heard Toads voice, he quickly turned his head to see Toad toss a fire flower at his direction. Without a thought he reached out and grabbed as it flew towards him.
Once he had it in his hand, he felt its heated power overflow in him and he immediately turned his attention towards the pleading shouts of his friends, as the giant piranha plant tried to swallow both Waluigi, Daisy and Peach whole. "Oh no you don't," He shouted and threw a fire ball towards its face and the plant roared in pain as Mario threw several more of them.
After hitting it several times in the face, it dropped them all and sunk back again in the ground. Landing with thud, Mario looked around frantically to see if his friends had landed safely.
Mona groaned as she rose from the ground shakily only to freeze up again as she felt another wine circle around her middle. Looking up she saw that she had landed next to another piranha plant instead.
Screaming she was lifted into the air and was being led closer to its gaping mouth. Suddenly she heard someone shouting her name and Wario coming dropping down from the sky with his yellow hammer in hand. He smashed it all his might into the plants skull, making it drop Mona and sink down on the ground in an unconscious heap. Mona screamed again as she braced herself from the impact to the ground, but it never came.
Opening her eyes she saw Wario carrying her in his arms, running away from the rest of the plants. Blushing madly she burrowed her face in his chest and smiled.
Peach stirred from where she landed and sat up and looked around to see Mario throwing fire balls towards a plant that had cornered Waluigi. Suddenly she felt something tug her pants by the foot a bit. Gasping she saw a seedling trying to munch on her leg.
She immediately pried her leg away but it held on a tight grip. "Mario!" She shouted as three more moved to her. Mario hearing his name being called turned around sharply to see Peach being attacked by seedlings.
"Peach!" He shouted and rushed to her, but before he could reach her, a tongue shot out and swallowed all of the seedlings in one gulp. Looking at her left, Peach saw Yoshi there with Toad on their bikes.
Sighing relief Mario turned his attention towards the rest of his friends, seeing if the needed his assistance. "I'm getting tired of these goddamn things. Let's get out of here!" Daisy shouted right next to him, kicking a seedling out of the way. Nodding in agreement, he saw Wario running up towards them with Mona in his hands and Waluigi following in his shadow.
"Come-on let's get of here!" Mario shouted and they ran towards their own bikes that lay sprayed out on the ground. Without a second thought, they all got up on the bikes and took off towards the exit.
(--)
"Ok. What the hell was that?" Waluigi said as they were out of danger, gasping heavily. "I thought the danger was supposed to be the other way. Not that road!" He growled angrily and Wario nodded in agreement.
"Perhaps the danger had spread from the other road to that one too," Peach said, trying to be reasonable.
"It doesn't matter! We're safe now and that's all that matters," Mario said and inspected his friends closely, searching for injuries. Seeing only some bruises and small scratches, he turned around towards the road up ahead. "Anyway, let's get going. We've wasted enough time as it is and should get going," After that he took off again.
Peach followed him with her eyes for second before taking off after him, Daisy, Yoshi and Toad following her. Mona looked at her friends before turning her attention to Wario and gave him a small smile, which he returned with gentle one before leaning down and planted a kiss on her lips. Her smile widened as she also took off after the others. 'Apology accepted,' Mona thought with glee.
As soon as Mona took off, the smile on Wario's face vanished and was replaced with a frown. Waluigi walked up to his brother and said in a silent voice. "So, what do you think of this? Could this have been a set up as well?" Waluigi glanced down at his shorter brother from the corner of his eye.
Wario frown deepened before saying. "I believe nothing until I get more signs that it is," He answered and took off as well. Sighing loudly Waluigi followed after, missing the cloaked figure that stepped out from behind a tree.
"M-my Lord, the plan fa-failed," It said shakily into the walkie talkie. It waited in exactly ten seconds before an angry roar was heard from the other side.
"Arg. You, you idiot. I told you not to fail," The voice shouted and the cloaked figure yelped and stuttered.
"I-I-I'm s-so-sorry my L-Lord," A groan was heard from the other end before it answered.
"Ahh forget it, it doesn't matter. Since mission 'Redirection' failed and that they're heading my way, I guess it's time for Operation 'Ghost house'," The voice finished with a low chuckle before the walkie talkie went silent once again.
