Hi everyone! Just thought I would say that! ^^

Chapter 13
Somehow, I survived the explosion and woke up finding myself on a comfortable bed in a nice, relaxing cabin. I was kind of surprised; I did not know that a place this well furnished was still standing considering Bowser literally wrecked all of the Mushroom Kingdom. I looked around to see what else this place had: pretty much a fireplace, a bed, a table and chair in the corner, a rich, lush carpet, and of course the door. The door opened and a white Bomb-omb walked in; he wore a white military hat and had a moustache arcing both left and right-upward. He also held two coffee mugs, filled with coffee, and offered me one of them. Since I was rather thirsty at the sight of the tasty beverage, I accepted it.
"Good to see you are awake," he politely told me, "You had quite a fall, if I do say so myself. The name is General White, by the way; and let me be the first to welcome you to Fahr Outpost."
"Fahr Outpost," I repeated. General White nodded as he took a gulp of delicious coffee.
Mario told me about this place before when he came back home from his adventure from Rougeport. If I remembered correctly, this place is supposed to be cold but he told me that he still walked around in his usual clothes so it should not be too bad.
Mario was dead wrong: this place had my snot turn into ice. General White seemed to not have been fazed at all by the coldness; must be because he is used to it. "I had a dream about you," General White continued as he led me into some kind of dome-like building. It contained monitors, flashy buttons, various beeps and clicks, and three other Bomb-ombs in here. "The dream told me that I have to seek out a man of green and help him shoot toward his goal."
A green Bomb-omb with a white shaggy mustache jumped down from the elevated floor and looked at me up and down, "This must be him," he said to General White, "He looks green enough to me. Plus he looks like Mario too."
"Well I am his brother," I replied nervously- do not know why I was so nervous though.
"You don't say," He mused, "We get to help Mario and his brother…what is your name, sonny?"
"Luigi."
The green Bomb-omb nodded, "Well you do not look evil or anything so we are going to help in any way we can. By the way, I am the mayor of this humble village, pleased to meet you." I gave an accepting nod before he continued, "So Luigi, what brings you here?"
So I ended up telling him and General White about everything that went on from the very beginning this whole story started. When I finished, they both did not say a word and giving sympathetic looks, "I had no idea. I am so sorry for you Luigi," General White finally spoke.
"Thanks but you guys do not really have to apologize or anything."
"But to have such a hero go down like that," the mayor slowly commented, "I…just do not know what to do…"
"You said a Dragon Koopa named Bowser did this to you and Mario," General White asked. I nodded and he continued, "We found a Dragon Koopa terrorizing the mountain not far away from here- perhaps that could be the same Bowser?"
"It has to be," the mayor almost responded immediately, "Dragon Koopas are rare species everywhere; therefore, it must be Bowser."
General White nodded in confirmation, "If this is true, are you going to stop him Luigi?"
For some reason I paused after he said that. Maybe it was the failure adding up all together, maybe it was the feeling of anger, or maybe it was the feeling of regression and depression. I have let everyone across the Mushroom Kingdom down so many times, and yet they still believed I could do it. They are counting on me still because they have no one left to turn to; I was the one who filled in Mario's shoes, I took the liberty to take on Bowser, I took the first step to take on Bowser...Now he is on the run, at his last ropes…
I had to finish it here and now.
I nodded confidently to General White and the mayor.
"Very well Luigi," General White said, "Let us get you to the mountains!" He turned to the other two Bomb-ombs present in the room, "Alfred and Wilma, get the cannon ready."
"All systems go," Alfred confirmed.
"Cargo is secured," Wilma confirmed, "All systems green."
General White nodded, "Good, open the hatch."
Alfred pressed a button and outside the dome building, and secret compartment wide door opened.
"Lift the cannon."
Alfred pressed another button; outside large cannon slowly emerged from the secret compartment.
"Start the countdown."
"5"
"4"
"3" The cannon started steaming.
"2" The cannon started rumbling.
"1"
"Blastoff," General White shouted as he pushed a rather big button on the armrest of his chair. The cannon shocked back and shot out what seemed like a green stream of light- that green stream of light happening to be Luigi. The Bomb-omb citizens cheered as the cannon went off, not only because they loved to hear things blow up but also to send Luigi encouragement as he takes on his ultimate goal. General White came out the dome building and walked up next to the mayor, "Good luck hero."
As I was done screaming from the top of my lungs (because getting shot out of cannons are not cool at all) and finally calmed down, I came into view of the mountain; and it was evident that Bowser made his presence known here. All I could say is that if Bowser decided to ravage the mountain even more, there may be no mountain here anymore- this place was ready to crumble, not to mention that avalanches are most likely to occur as well.
The mountain was growing bigger the more closer I came to it, if I did not think of a safe way to land on the mountain I would probably break my legs landing. Then I just remembered my time in the galaxies and the sling stars that were vital during the whole time. I flipped three times and landed with a thump onto the mountain side, but other than that, no broken bones. I took a closer look around and set my quest to find the rampaging tyrant; it would have been easier, but the wind decided to get chillier, faster, and harsher. And to top it all off, snow constantly flew in my face. It was a lot tougher than I thought it would be, but the still fresh tracks acted as my guide and soon it led me to where I wanted to go: Bowser.
He was standing near the cliff's edge, just standing there motionless and overlooking the cold scenery. It freaked me out, but what freaked me out more was when he turned to look at me: His hair was aglow with fire, his eyes were pure red- and I mean the whole eye, he had his elongated claws again plus those metal claws he used during the soccer Striker Tournament, he had cuts and bruises all over his face and body, and yet he was smiling at me. I was beyond freaked out, but somehow I was able to stand my ground.
"This is it Luigi," he said to me, "You took my home, my family, my servants, and my love all away from me. Now it is time to see which one of us leaves this place alive, but I guarantee that person who will die is you!" He roared loudly, more loudly than I ever heard, and he spews vicious blue flames my way.
A stronger Luigi versus a stronger Bowser; a battle of the titans! Who will win?
Later, ciao! ;)
