January 11: Luigi: Shadows

Luigi, the green wonder. Forced to spend an eternity, in the shadow of his brother.

In fact he is so over shadowed by Mario I'm not even writing a chapter for him!

You're not gone yet are you? Fine…

Such treatment could drive one to madness. How Luigi survived such treatment was a mystery in itself. Rumor had it that he bottled up all of his rage, not the healthiest thing to do in the world. If he were to snap it would be truly a frightening time. The true secret behind the Negative Zone the darkness in Luigi's heart.

Like most final Smashes, everyone feared them. Luigi's was equally terrifying as some of the others. But of course it had one great weakness, it was tied to his emotions. If he was feeling happy the Final Smash would be a lot weaker. Everyone found this out during Luigi's obligatory Birthday Brawl. Since then the Smashers had been doing their best to keep Luigi happy and his Final Smash weak.

Every night there would be a match between two of the Smashers in order to collect statistics and other information. They knew at least a week in advance who they would be fighting and when. That night Luigi was going to have a match against the Pokemon Trainer: Red.

A ritual for Luigi was not to worry about the match before hand, so before the match he was going to just relax and not worry about anything.

Luigi was enjoying his Sunday afternoon just watching TV, and occasionally drinking out of a nearby cup. Suddenly the phone rang. Luigi picked it up. "Hello?" He said. There was no response. Luigi waited a few seconds before once again saying "hello?" Once again with no response Luigi just hung up the phone. A few seconds later the phone began to ring again. Once again Luigi answered it but there was no response.

With Mario and Princess Peach out of the house, Luigi was all alone. Naturally this began to freak out Luigi. Luigi just whimpered and looked away. Once again the phone began to ring. Luigi however decided to ignore it. But no matter what it wouldn't stop ringing. Five minutes passed until Luigi answered it again.

"Hello?" Luigi whimpered. But no response came. Only static. Luigi hung up and before they had the chance to call back again he disconnected all of the wires from the phone.

Luigi just breathed a sigh of relief as nothing interrupted his Television watching. Suddenly despite the fact that the telephone was unplugged, it began to ring. Luigi screamed and ran out of his house and did the first thing that came to his mind. He ran down to Mewtwo's house.

As he got to Mewtwo's house he began to pound on the door. "What are you doing here Luigi?" Mewtwo telepathically asked.

"My phone is possessed!" Luigi cried. "Do something about it, please!"

Mewtwo teleported beside Luigi and then they both teleported back to Luigi's house. There the phone was still ringing. Mewtwo just stared at it. "Right possessed. Follow me…" With that Mewtwo walked out of the house. Luigi just followed. Eventually they were at the children's house.

Mewtwo just knocked on the door after five seconds of no response he blew the door off of its hinges. The loud noise suddenly alerted all of the children and they ran to see what it was.

"Ness." Mewtwo shouted. Ness slowly walked in front of everybody and faced Mewtwo. "Do you want to explain to me why you were prank calling Luigi?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Ness said, playing innocent.

"Your psychic energy was all over the phone, I think you know what I'm talking about." Mewtwo replied.

"Really?" Luigi asked looking between Mewtwo and Ness.

"There must be some mistake." Ness shouted defending himself.

"I could probe your mind." Mewtwo replied. "Or I could go straight to Master Hand. Or I could ask anyone else if they know anything. Or probe their minds. Or I could prolong this and make an educated guess."

"Try and figure it out." Ness challenged Mewtwo.

"I all ready have." Mewtwo said. "It has to do with tonight's match. Luigi VS Red. Most likely you made a bet with someone for something of value and you betted on Luigi assuming that if he got the Smash Ball and was capable of activating a strong Negative Zone it would be practically won. However you noticed that Luigi has been in a rather good mood recently and that his Negative Zone was much weaker than it normally is. So` for that you had to instill fear and other negative feelings in him to boost his attacks."

"Damn, he's good." Claus taunted Ness.

"So, what I'm doing is completely legal to the Smash rules. People treat Luigi nicely to make his Negative Zone weaker. Why shouldn't I be able to do the reverse?" Ness asked.

"Because I get called in because of possessed telephones." Mewtwo replied.

Luigi was actually shocked by this news. He had previously thought that people were treating him nicely, and noticing him because he finally stood out from his brother. No longer was he living in his shadow. But to learn that that wasn't the case and that people were just being nice to give them an advantage in the match completely shattered Luigi.

It was said that during the match that happened in the evening, when Luigi grabbed the Smash Ball and unleashed his Final Smash, even the Smashers who were still in their homes, felt the effects of the Negative Zone.

Needless to say Luigi won that match. Mewtwo also forced Ness and Red to drop the bet.


The first chapter I had to write from scratch on the day it was to be submitted... Every other chapter at least had a bit written before hand.
