I do not own the characters. That`s so bad!

Chapter 10: The Final Fight (Really, Really)

Everyone looked at Wario.

"WHAT?"

"Yes, gang. It`s Luigi disguised as Mario."

Suddenly, Mario`s colors began disappearing. The red faded and turned into a solid green. The M turned into an L and the mustaches on each side of his face melted into one, like Luigi`s. Luigi looked at Wario.

"How did you guess?"

"I didn`t have to guess at all, I know it was you. We know Mario is egocentric enough to go on all quests to save Peach even if he has to leave his bro behind for that. This said, Mario is always on quests against Bowser, which means he would never have time to plan such a thing against a minor enemy of his. It can`t be Bowser for the aforementioned reasons, and it can`t be Peach because she`s almost always captive of Bowser. It couldn`t be Yoshi, he doesn`t have the intelligence, and Donkey Kong doesn`t have the technology."

That explains also the rest of the story. When 9-Volt dueled in SMBB against Mario, Mario would probably have taken his own self. That also explains why Mario looked thinner and taller.

"So you have proven to be smart enough to discover the identity behind all that, eh? Let me tell you the rest. Prof E. Gadd had created a new type of Gaddbrush, which could permit anyone to transform into someone else, however the height and weight of the person doesn`t change. That means that if I would transform into Bowser, I`d still be little compared to him. I stole it from E. Gadd, and then I disguised as a Koopa Troopa to invade Bowser`s Castle. From there I arranged myself to steal everything I needed for my plan. All the helicopters are actually Airships but disguised. I have also taken a brainwash machine which also worked on robots."

Luigi was walking while talking.

"I even know why you did that!" Wario shouted. "You wanted to prove your brother you could fight! You wanted to show him you were a great ally! You were feeling useless so you did that, and only for your own personal profit!"

"Yeah, but Mario is still too busy to even let me star in more games. Like that, he`s still ignoring me, and I HATE THAT! Oh yeah, I almost forgot."

Luigi took out of his pocket a strange remote control, on which there were two buttons, a green one and a red one.

"Listen Wario. This remote control is dangerous, really dangerous. It is the one Bowser used to clear up all Brick Blocks after the first SMB. When the green button is pushed, the blocks explode from lowest to highest, in some kind of dangerous pile-up. Guess what? The entire cylinder is made of blocks! Guess what will happen?"

Wario calculated it for some seconds, but Luigi, apparently not waiting for an answer, decided to spill the beans.

"When I`ll push that button, the entire cylinder will collapse, and you know very well what`s on top: a huge piece of glass. When the cylinder gets destroyed, the glass will crush the entire city! And everyone inside of it. The glass will fall from such a height and with such speed that nothing will survive."

Luigi put back the remote control in his pocket. That was the cruelest plan ever thought of by anyone. Even Bowser would not have been that evil! A look of confidence appeared on Luigi`s face.

"I guess it`s all between you and me, Wario. A fight between the two of us. If I win, then it`s Game Over for your entire city and I`ll send you as slaves to Bowser. If you win, then I pass you the remote control and you do whatever you want with it."

"Deal," Wario said. His employees were looking at him. He had done nothing at all for the entire story and now he was taking the lead role to fight the last enemy? Weird… but that was all planned. Luigi talked again.

"But I must first tell you that I also stole another technology to E. Gadd: some sort of All-around Mushroom which has all the effects of many powerups altogether."

Luigi showed the Mushroom, which was black as coal, and ate it. His entire outfit turned black with red buttons, his gloves turned a dark shade of grey and horns grew on his cap. The only color left on his outfit was the L on his cap, which was now glowing.

Wario looked at that and said: "Wow, I`m lucky I thought about bringing something too…"

Wario took out the Funky Garlic and gulped it down in one bite. His outfit turned into a lousy pajama-like suit with a big, blue W in front, and his cap morphed into an ugly, superhero-like thing. Drawings of garlic appeared on his suit.

"I think we can fight now," Luigi said.

Mona looked at the fight. She and the others were trapped in the cage. Dribble and Spitz had awoken and arrived. Mike, unable to move on his legs, was also watching. The beaten employees also made their way to the main room.

Now, the details of each fighter. Luigi, thanks to his All-Around Mushroom, could throw fire and electricity from his two hands. He had an incredible stamina like Bowser now. He could also jump very high and run at immense speeds. Now, Wario-Man had the exact same powers, without the fire and thunder.

Wario-Man ran toward Luigi, who jumped high. As Wario-Man scratched his butt, wondering where his opponent had gone, Luigi fell on him. The shock was hard. Luigi was about to strike again with a mix of thunder and fire when Wario-Man smashed Luigi away. Wario-Man got back on his feet and jumped on his bike. Luigi ran off toward Wario-Man and blocked him. Luigi threw a series of punches, which Wario-Man avoided easily. Wario-Man just punched Luigi once and the plumber fell on his back. However Luigi got up in a second and ran to the other side of the room to avoid the motorcycle that would be soon rolling toward him. Wario-Man jumped on his bike and rushed toward Luigi, who jumped very high again. The ceiling of that room was made of a metallic grid, so Luigi just moved around with his arms, waiting for the best moment to fall down on his enemy.

Wario drove his motorcycle around the room, seeking Luigi, when the plumber fell right on him. Wario lost the control of his bike, destroyed the throne and some decorations, and they crashed in a wall. On this, Luigi`s remote control fell off his pocket. Mona noticed this and told her friends in the cage.

"We have to catch that remote! It`s our only chance!"

But Wario-Man and Luigi`s battle was not finished yet. They each survived the crash, and Luigi attacked once again, throwing fireballs. Wario-Man avoided them, but while doing so, Luigi had thrown a greater fireball, which hit Wario-Man.

It`s impossible to describe the pain Wario-Man felt when he got hit by the big fireball. Wario-Man fell on the floor. Luigi approached. "It looks like I won. Prepare to kiss goodbye to your business, Wario."

But Wario-Man, in a twist of events, woke up and smashed Luigi at the same time. Wario-Man knew he could no more use his motorcycle so he just made a wrestling move and smashed Luigi`s stomach. Luigi did his best not to spit out the All-Around Mushroom, and the battle continued between the two enemies.

During this time, Mona and her friends were trying to push the heavy cage toward the remote control. "Just a few feet and we`ll have it."

However Dribble noticed them and he ran to the remote control. "Is dat da thing ya want? Too bad!" Just to laugh at them, Dribble danced around the cage. He arrived in front of Jimmy. "Do ya have it? No! I got it! Yer all losers! Mario, er… Luigi`s da boss! Y`all never get out of here alive!"

Jimmy kicked Dribble`s ankle and the bulldog let the remote control fall off his hand. However, as Jimmy was about to catch the remote, Spitz ran and caught it first.

The room was now devastated because of the battle between Wario-Man and Luigi, who was back on his feet. Luigi, with his increased stamina, would be able to fight for one more hour. Sadly, Wario-Man was not that great. The fat superhero felt the effects of the huge fireball in his entire body. But it was not time to lose, the fate of hundreds of people was uncertain. So Wario-Man tackled Luigi. That would be the very last move. Wario-Man ran toward Luigi, who was also running. The two screamed before the final punch. Luigi punched Wario-Man, but the hero just caught his enemy`s fist and punched successfully. Luigi was thrown away. In the shock, he spat out the All-Around Mushroom, and reverted to his normal clothing before hitting a wall.

During this time, Ana was trying to attract Spitz toward her. "Come here, kitty kitty, we can`t hurt you, we`re encaged."

"Why should I believe you?" Spitz asked. "Your weapons can easily pass through the bars." Spitz looked again at the remote control. "So much destruction in such a tiny machine… I`m feeling like a god."

"Come on, give that to us!" Penny shouted. Then she got a brilliant idea. "Hey, have you noticed how much Luigi hates you?"

Spitz approached.

"Yes, remember, you`re still a Diamond City resident even if you`re on the enemy side. And Luigi never liked you, he never said how cute you were, he never ever said a thing like that."

"I don`t care, I`m supposed to be ugly since I`m evil."

However, during that time, Wario-Man had also reverted to Wario. Luigi was lying on the ground, not moving anymore. Wario approached.

"Your obsession soon turns you into a monster. I know it, I`ve hunted for gold so often and that was turning me into a freak. Now your obsession into being recognized as much as Mario has sent you into doing evil things. Get out of that way. Look, I was evil first, but I even helped you defeat Bowser the other time!"

"Yeah, maybe you`re right… maybe no!" Luigi screamed, taking out a revolver. "Nice piece of technology, eh? I got that in the "never-of-use" section of Bowser`s artillery. I`ll never know why it`s so useless, looks like a pretty dangerous weapon."

On this, Luigi shot Wario. Wario avoided the ball. Luigi shot three times again, and Wario avoided the hits, however, one of the bullets hit the remote control Spitz was holding. The remote control fell near the cage. Penny took it and made sure it would not get out of the cage again.

Luigi shot again, two times, but Wario had avoided the balls once again. Luigi tried shooting once more, but nothing else was coming out.

"What? Only six bullets? Now I know why this was useless, it`s too easy to avoid! It`s like tiny Bullet Bills!"

On this, Wario was about to attack Luigi so hard he would need three 1-Up Mushrooms to come back to life when Luigi said simply:

"Can I suggest something?"

"Go ahead."

"May I join the Warioware team? I`d appear in a few more games then!"

"If that`s what you need to come back to normal, then okay. I guess I can find an empty spot in the team."

Luigi was about to take the remote control when he noticed it had fallen out of his pocket.

"Where is it?"

Penny showed the remote control through the bars of the cage.

"So you got it, eh? To stop everything, just push the red button."

Penny decided it was instead Wario`s duty to push that button, so she threw the remote to the obese hero, and Wario pushed the red button.

***

A month later…

Mona was on her bike, touring around the city.

The red button`s use was simple: It would not only destroy all brick blocks, but also make the magnifier vanish. It also made all brainwashed employees come back to normal. Now the residents of Diamond City were building back the buildings destroyed by that adventure, and life had come back to normal. The Warioware team had a new member, who now was working on enemy microgames. The concept was in each microgame to defeat a simple enemy in the time laps. No enemies from videogames (since that was 9-Volt`s section), but coming from anywhere.

Mona rolled on her motorcycle. She first went to the young player`s house, and looked through the window. 9-Volt and his friend 18-Volt were playing videogames as always. Luigi had given them the only copy of Super Mario Brotherly Battle ever made. She then went to Kat and Ana`s house. She saw the girls training once again. She learned recently that the preschool-aged girls were now training under Master Mantis as well. She passed in front of Ashley`s Mansion, where she saw the witch and her demon waving at her happily. Actually, only Red was doing this happily. Ashley still had that frozen face that makes her charm. Mona could see earphones coming out of Red`s and Ashley`s ears, the young witch had kept the Mp3vil, much to Red being afraid of it. Mona, on her route toward the Dojo, she met Dribble and Spitz, who were driving Dr. Crygor to the school where they were going to see Penny Crygor. Mona arrived at the dojo, and knocked at the door. Master Mantis answered.

"Are you coming to see my student? I heard recently that you and he had begun a fine and solid relationship. I am sorry at every level, lady Mona, but at this exact moment my student is training."

"Is his head okay, Sensei?"

"Yes, his overly bruised head came back to normal. He has found back all his original beauty. But that is an old man`s opinion, I guess a young lady can have a better opinion than mine at beauty."

"That`s fine to hear. Thanks, Master Mantis, see you soon!"

Mona passed by the arcade. At Mike`s demand, the Karaoke videogame had been added. Now Jimmy was dancing on Champion Dance Revolution while Mike was singing the song the dancer was performing. They were a very popular duo at videogames. That was great to see, when we know some weeks ago they had dueled in a terrible speed-dancing battle. The rest of the Thang Family was looking at them.

Penny Crygor was outside the school, with her uncle and the cab drivers around. She waved at Mona, who just passed by. Finally, Mona passed in front of Wario`s house. She knew Wario was not the kind of guy going outside very often, so she didn`t even knock at the door. Wario was picking up his nose in front of the television, on which was airing a rerun of Ear Candy.

Finally, Mona passed near Luigi, who was raking leaves in front of his own fake Toad House in Diamond City. He simply lifted his thumb at her. All his negative feelings seemed to have disappeared. He was smiling.

***

That night, it was another Warioware meeting. Wario asked each employee why their microgames weren`t ready yet. Ashley explained she was searching as many songs as possible for download on her Mp3vil. Mike and Jimmy were preparing for a tourney around the city in a karaoke-dance show. Kat and Ana had been training under Master Mantis and his next training was quite rough, their arms were tired. No matter what they all said, Wario was expecting a lot of his new employee Luigi. When the plumber`s time came, Luigi said sorry. Wario asked why.

"Well, recently Bowser launched a huge attack on the kingdom and Mario needed my help that time. It doesn`t happen very often but he was really too tough that time."

Wario was about to explode with anger when he tried calming down. But too late. Just like at the very beginning of that story, Wario fell on the ground, crying like a baby, hitting the floor, and insulting his employees.

Once again, the employees left without a word. Once outside, Luigi told them:

"I know what will calm him down."

***

The next day, Wario woke up from his creaking bed. He opened the window without even looking outside. He put toasts in the toaster and took the garlic butter out of the refrigerator. After breakfast, he put on his biker clothes and decided to go out. He opened the door, and passed through, but he hit a wall of smaller blocks. That reminded him of last month`s adventure.

"Very funny guys."

Wario walked around his house, noticed the wall was surrounding it, and Wario screamed:

"VERY FUNNY GUYS! Now get me outta here. Please? Come on, it`s free! Okay, I`m sorry. Did you hear me? Guys?"

THE END.

Author`s notes: Phew… finally finished. That was probably the most complicated story I`ll ever have to write. I bet even my original stories won`t be that complicated. Maybe because there will be less characters… I dunno. Anyway, the next chapter is the answers to the "find the references" game.

By the way, if you`re still interested in my original story, or just to hear about it for fun, just Private Message me.

…not unhappy that saga is finished…
