Author's Note: Okay, I know. This was LONG overdue. I've had this chapter on hold for like months now and I've left it unfinished. Well not anymore. I needed to finish this story because it is pretty important to my canon and is part of a big plot for the future. So here you are. For those who has been waiting for this to finish, I'm deeply apologize. I'll try and be a little better for these things next time.
Dracula's Castle
The bridge rises up and closes behind Mario, Peach, the Belmonts, and Alucard. Torches lit up as the five smashers carefully walked down the hallway. The Belmonts grip their Vampire Killers ready to strike at any incoming monsters that may attack. Alucard and the Belmonts know how dangerous Dracula Castle is, so they are more attentive to whatever dangers the king of vampires had in store. This is something out of Mario and Peach's comfort zone. While Mario has dealt with Boos, vampires and other monsters are not what he was used to. Peach especially is frightened walking through the castle. She holds onto Mario's hand tightly for his protection.
"This place is scaring me...This feels much worse compared to Bowser's Castle. It's so eerie and spine chilling." Peach says as her body shakes.
"Tell me about it. Much spookier than any ghost house I've entered. I can't believe we're about to pick a fight with Count Dracula. I don't know how you guys do it." Mario says.
"When you have a family who's dedicated role is banishing Dracula, it becomes your duty to dispel all of darkness." Richter says.
"Stay focused. My father is no one to take lightly. One mistake means you're dead. The most dangerous monsters are under my father's command. We must stay vigilant." Alucard warns.
The five smashers continue to slowly walk through the castle, unaware of the pair of red eyes looking at them from the ceiling. Simon looks up to see a chandelier falling down from the ceiling. "Above us! Dodge!" He yells.
Everyone moves out the way as the chandelier crashes down. Death appears in front of the smashers. "We meet again Belmonts. Your awareness is still as sharp as ever I see." He says.
Carmilla floats down to the ground next to Death. "Alucard. You defy your father once again? Helping these wretched humans, especially those Belmont scums. You are a disgrace to all vampires."
"My father is a fool. I will not let him continue to kill humans. We will put an end to his plans." Alucard says.
"What have you monsters done with my brother Luigi?!" Mario questions.
"Where's my cousin Daisy?!" Peach questions.
"So you've come for the other humans that came here? The girl is currently a prisoner to Lord Dracula. As for Luigi, you're too late. Your brother's soul is mine." Death says
"No! Luigi!" Mario cries.
"It seems I will be collecting more souls tonight. You will all die tonight! Creatures of the night! Servants of Dracula! Raise hell upon these fools who dare tread this castle! Come together as we kill them all!" Death's voice echoes through the entire castle. He vanishes away while Carmilla flies away from the smashers.
"You're not getting away from me Carmilla." Alucard says. He runs after the female vampire.
Simon extends his hand to Alucard. "Alucard wait! Damn! Watch your backs everyone. Death has called upon every monster to attack us. So we must be car-" The vampire killer's sentence gets interrupted as the Wolf Man jumps out from the shadows and pounces Mario. The plumber screams as the Wolf Man carries him away in his mouth.
"Mario! Do not worry! I'll save you!" Simon chases after the Wolf Man.
Peach extends her hand looking at her boyfriend getting carried away by the vicious beast. "Mariooooooo!" She cries.
"Princess look out!" Richter yells. He grabs Peach's arm and pulls her out of the way from a giant debris that was coming to crash down on the princess. "Don't let your guard down! We have a monster approaching us!" The Azure Vampire Killer points to Frankenstein's monster slowly approaching them. On Frankenstein's monster's shoulder is a Fleaman that is hopping in place.
Peach realizes that this is no time to feel frightened. She needed to be strong. If she wanted to save Daisy, it was time for her to get serious and fight. The Mushroom Kingdom princess takes out her frying. "I'm not leaving this castle without my cousin! I won't be scared!"
Richter whips his Vampire Killer down to the ground. "Monsters! Prepare to be banished back to the underworld where you belong!" He yells with determination in his eyes.
Frankenstein's monster jumps in the air to slam his fist down to the ground. Richter and Peach jumps out of the way of the attack. The Fleaman jumps off of The Creature's shoulders and shoots three fireballs at Peach. The princess dodges the fireballs and charges at the Fleaman. She swings her frying pan to hit the Fleaman, but it quickly hops out of the way of the attack. The Fleaman starts hopping around Peach as she continues to try and smash it with her frying pan, it was like the hunchback was taunting the princess.
Peach is starting to get visibly frustrated. "You're so annoying to hit!" She expresses.
The Fleaman jumps at Peach, but is quickly intercepted and knocked away by Richter's Holy Cross. The Holy Cross comes back to the Azure Vampire Killer, he turns to see Frankstein's monster throwing a punch at him. Richter backflips away from the strike and hits The Creature in the face with his whip. Frankenstein's monster stumbles back roaring in pain, Peach uses this opportunity to jump up and hit him with a Peach Bomber in his face followed by hitting him in the head with her frying pan.
Frankenstein's monster collapses to the ground. Richter and Peach start moving ahead through. Their eyes widen as they see a giant mummy approaching. Richter slides between the mummy's legs. Peach jumps up and stuns the mummy by hitting it in the face with her crown. Richter turns around and slides his Vampire Killer on the ground to sweep the mummy off of its feet, causing it to fall on the ground. Peach grabs the cloth of the mummy and spins around in place like a ballerina to unravel the monster, the mummy disintegrates into ashes.
Richter walks to Peach. "Nicely done princess. Very impressive. I must warn you, proceeding through Dracula's Castle will be a dangerous journey. Not doubting your capabilities, but I want to make sure you'll be okay."
"I've made up my mind Richter. Daisy is my cousin. Families don't leave each other behind. If I have to go through this scary castle and beat a bunch of monsters, I will!" Peach says clenching her fist with determination in her eyes.
Richter nods. "Okay princess. Dracula is at the top of his castle. Let us go."
The Azure Vampire Killer and The Mushroom Kingdom Princess proceed through Dracula's Castle.
Simon is still on the chase after the Wolf Man who has Mario in his mouth. The Wolf Man was too fast on the ground for Simon to catch up, he needed a plan to intercept him. Simon looks up to see a ring hanging on the side of a column, he latches his whip to the ring and swings up. As the Vampire Killer is now above ground, he takes out his Holy Water and throws it down to the ground in front of the Wolf Man. The Wolf Man stops in his tracks as the pillar of fire appears. Simon hits the Wolf Man with a divekick to the head, causing him to let go of Mario.
The plumber falls on his face. He gets up with his head spinning and his vision blurry. Mario looks at himself seeing that his overalls and shirt has been torn. "Mama mia! He messed up my favorite outfit! At least my hat is still okay." He says patting his head.
Simon runs to Mario. "Are you okay Mario? Are you fatally wounded?"
The plumber shakes his head. "I'm okay Simon. Messy, but alive at least." Mario turns to see the Wolf Man recovering and gets back on his feet. "We got a fight on our hands! Let's a go!" Mario gets into his battle stance.
Simon turns to the Wolf Man and takes out his Vampire Killer. "Right. Prepare to be slain fowl beast!"
The Wolf Man lets out a howl that echoes throughout the entire castle. He dashes at Mario to slash at him, Mario backflips away from the attack and retaliates by punching the Wolf Man twice and ends the combo with a kick. The Wolf man stumbles back. Simon whips the Wolf Man, knocking him away. The Wolf Man begins to conjure up a fireball from his hands and shoots it at Mario and Simon. The two smashers jump out of the way.
Mario is surprised that a werewolf would know such a move. "Since when could werewolves shoot fireballs out of their hands?!"
"Not in my century. Maybe in Richter's century. No one to wonder about it now. It's preparing to do another attack." Simon warns.
The Wolf Man jumps into the air turning himself into a wheel of fire. The Wolf Man launches himself at the smashers, Mario uses FLUUD to extinguish the flames around the Wolf Man. The Wolf Man falls to the ground, unable to complete his attack. Simon uses the opportunity to hit the Wolf Man with Holy Water and finish him off with a strong whip attack. The Wolf Man lets out a loud howl in pain as the holy water continues to burn him. He began to revert back into his human form.
"That's one threat down, but there's still more that dwells within the castle. We must stay on our toes." Simon says.
Mario nods. "Right. I do hope Peach is okay, but I know Richter is looking after her. We should go after Death. He has Luigi's soul and I need to get it back! Save my brother!"
"Sounds like a plan. Let us go." Simon and Mario proceed through Dracula's Castle to search for Death.
Torture Chamber
The Torture Chamber of Dracula's Castle is surrounded by a pool filled with poison, two sections with holes on the floor that bring up spikes, and a giant scythe pendulum in the middle. Alucard and Carmilla stood face to face with each other.
"Why Alucard? Why do you persist in betraying Lord Dracula? He is only doing what is right to cleanse this world." Carmilla says.
"By eradicating every human on this planet and drowning the world in darkness? I won't allow it! I won't let my father kill as he pleases. I'm putting a stop to him. First, I must get you out of my way." Alucard says coldly.
"Insolent fool! You are a disgrace to vampires! I will kill you for defying Dracula!" Carmilla gets into her battle stance.
Alucard takes out his sword and prepares for Carmilla to attack. The female vampire charges at Alucard. Carmilla's arm blade clashes with Alucard's sword. The two power struggle against each other for ten seconds. Carmilla dashes back and attacks by launching her arm blade at Alucard. Alucard uses Mist Form to evade the attack and counters with a horizontal slash, causing Carmilla to stumble back.
Carmilla growls in frustration. The female vampire pulls her arm blade back to her, she jumps to the air and does a dive kick to stab Alucard with her spike heels. Alucard parries the divekick and knocks Carmilla away. Alucard jumps into the air and strikes down Carmilla by casting Dark Lightning from his hand.
Carmilla screams in pain as she collapses on one knee paraylyzed by the lightning. She looks up at the son of Dracula wincing in pain. "Damn you!" She curses.
"Hmph. As Dracula's plaything, I would've expected you to be smarter than to go against his son." Alucard snarks. He grips on the hilt tightly, staring at Carmilla with a blank expression. "You don't belong in this world. Return to darkness."
Alucard hits Carmilla with a horizontal sword slash. The female vampire gets knocked away and falls into the pool of poison. Carmilla began to scream in agony as she slowly watched her melt off of her body. She starts to sink into the poison until her body is nothing but a skeleton.
"I know you will return one day. Creatures of the night never stay dead for long." Alucard says. He looks up to the ceiling. "Father. It's time I put a stop to you. I made a promise to mother. I won't let you kill humanity." The Son of Dracula begins to dash out of the Torture Chamber to make his way up to the top of the castle.
Dracula's Chamber
Richter and Peach burst through the doors with the Azure Vampire Killer holding his whip in his hand and Peach with her frying pan in her hand. The light from the blood moon was the only thing illuminating in the chambers. Dracula is sitting on his throne chair resting his elbow on the arm of the chair. Death is floating beside his master with his scythe in his hand.
"Richter Belmont. We meet again. Just as young as you were when you first defeated me. Hmph. No matter what age you are, you Belmonts are a thorn on my side." Dracula says.
"Dracula." Richter extends his Vampire Killer in his hands. "We've come to put an end to your evil deeds! Unleashing these monsters to kill innocent people! We won't let you continue this! You die here!" He declares.
Peach points her frying pan at Dracula and Death. "We won't let you hurt anymore people! Also, where is Luigi and my cousin Daisy?! What have you done to them?!"
Death begins to cackle. He points to Luigi's lifeless body to the side of the chamber. "As you can see, Luigi is not doing so well." He says with a smirk.
Peach and Richter look to see Luigi's body and gasps in horror. "Luigi!" Peach cries.
Richter could feel anger boiling up inside of him. He turns back to Dracula and Death. "You are going to pay!" He growls. The Azure Vampire Killer rushes at Dracula and Death. He notices by the corner of his eyes that a sword slash was aiming at him. "Woah!" Richter quickly back flips out of the way of the attack. He wondered who attacked him. Him and Peach's eyes widened in shock at who was holding the sword.
"Daisy…" Peach mutters.
The possessed Sarasaland Princess stood in front of the two smashers with dead eyes and a lifeless expression, dark aura surrounding her, and katana. The bottom of her dress was torn and the bruises she got her during her fight with Carmilla was still present. "Kill...kill...humans. Kill...them...humans…" Daisy muttered.
"You know your mission slave. Kill the humans!" Death commands casting his dark magic on Daisy.
Daisy grips onto her head. "AHHHHHHHHHHH!" She screams in pain. Feeling a terrible migraine in her head. The pain suddenly stopped. Daisy focuses her attention to Peach. "Kill! Kill!" She charges at the Mushroom Kingdom Princess.
"Ahhh!" Peach screams. She blocks an oncoming sword attack with her frying pan. The Sarasaland Princess wasn't taking any breaks, she was relentlessly swinging her sword at Peach. The Mushroom Kingdom Princess is able to block the attacks, but she realizes she couldn't block them forever. She jumps away from a horizontal sword slash. "Daisy stop! Please! It's me! Your cousin!" Peach cried.
"Die! Kill!" Daisy screams as she tries to attack Peach again. She couldn't hear her cousin's plea. She had a mission to kill humans.
"Princess Peach!" Richter calls. He tries to run to help the princess, but a large pillar of flame appears in front of him and blocks his path. He turns to see Dracula standing up from his throne.
"Your fight is with me Belmont. We have some unfinished business." Dracula says.
"Don't waste your time on those princesses. You have more important things to worry about. Like how long your soul will stay in your body!" Death says pointing his scythe at Richter.
Richter gets in his battle stance and prepares himself. Dracula shoots three fireballs at Richter, the Azure Vampire Killer quickly sidesteps out of the way. Richter attempts to whip Dracula in his head, but is blocked by Death. Death sends four mini scythes at Ricther, the Azure Vampire Killer swings his whip in the air to nullify them all. Death charges in and swings his scythe at Richter. Richter jumps away from the attack, but doesn't notice that Dracula had teleported behind him.
Dracula backhands Richter in the back of the head, knocking him down to the ground. Dracula unleashes three energy orbs from his cape and sends them at the Richter. The Azure Vampire Killer recovers and rolls out of the way of the three orbs. He gets up from the ground and attempts to run at Dracula, but backflips away when he sees Death swing his scythe down to the ground.
"Darn! I can't reach Dracula with Death guarding him! If I'm not careful, I'll lose my head." Richter says to himself.
Death begins to laugh. "What's the matter Belmont? Don't tell me you're tired already? We've only just begun!" He snarks.
Meanwhile Peach is trying her best to avoid Daisy's sword slashes. The Mushroom Kingdom Princess could feel herself starting to get weary. She begins panting. Daisy cuts Peach on the side of the stomach. Peach screams in pain and tumbles into the ground holding on to her stomach. The mind controlled Sarasaland Princess lets out a yell as she swings her sword down at Peach.
Peach quickly lifts her arms up to block the sword with her frying pan. She was struggling to hold on with the clash. Daisy was slowly overpowering her.
"D-Daisy! Please don't do this! We're family! Please return to normal!" Peach pleaded.
"Die! Die! Die!" Daisy just screamed.
A tear begins to fall down Peach's face. Her words couldn't get through to her cousin, the Daisy she knew was long gone. She was going to die. Killed by her only family. There was only one thing she could.
"HELP ME!" Peach screams.
Suddenly, the double doors burst open. A flaming Holy Cross is thrown into the chambers and hits Death. Death screams in pain and burns away. Richter is surprised by this. He turns to see the Holy Cross returning to Simon with Mario at the entrance.
"Grandfather! Mario!" Richter calls.
Daisy suddenly stops. The dark aura begins to fade away from around her body. Her lifeless eyes became blue again. The Sarasaland Princess felt dizzy. She collapses beside Peach and falls unconscious, dropping her katana.
Mario turns to Peach and quickly runs to her. "Peach!" He bends down and holds his girlfriend in arms. He looks to see the cut on the side of her torso. "Oh no. Peachy…"
Peach places her hand over the cut. "I-It's okay...It hurts a lot, but I'm still alive." She turns to Daisy beside her. "Looks like she's not mind controlled anymore. Thank goodness."
"Where is Luigi?" Peach points to where Luigi's dead body was laying. Mario rests Peach down and goes to run for his breath.
"Where do you think you're going?!" Dracula shoots two energy orbs at Mario.
Alucard then appears into the chamber and destroys the two energy orbs with his sword. Dracula is shocked by his son's sudden appearance.
Alucard looks at Mario. "You take your brother and stand back. The Belmonts and I will fight my father!"
Mario nods. He picks up Luigi's body and runs back to Peach and Daisy. Alucard and the Belmonts regroup together.
"Where is Carmilla?" Simon asks Alucard.
"Nothing but bones now. All that's left is my father now." Alucard turns his attention to Dracula.
Dracula sneers at his son. "Adrian. It has been a long time my son. And once again, you're working alongside a Belmont to kill me. Why must you do this? Have you forgotten what these mortals did to Lisa?!" He says with venom in his voice.
"No. I didn't forget. I also didn't forget the promise I made to Mother. She told me to not take my anger out on the humans. They go through enough hardships already. You've returned to cause more harm to them. I don't know how you came back, but I'm putting an end to you!" Alucard declares.
"We will be by your side Alucard. Dracula, it ends here! Tonight!" Richter declares.
"I've stopped you twice already. I can do it again! With the combined strength of my grandson and an ally of my ancestor, this will be your end vile creature!" Simon exclaims.
"Then I will no waste no time! I will unleash my full power!" Dracula unleashes a burst of energy and transforms into his beast form. He lets out a roar.
Dracula jumps into the air and sends a shockwave through the ground. The Belmonts and Alucard jump over the shockwave. Alucard runs at Dracula and hits him with his sword. Alucard jumps up in the air to try and slash at Dracula, Dracula jumps out of the way and knocks Alucard down to the ground with a claw slash.
The Belmonts let out a battle cry as they charge at Dracula. Dracula turns his attention to the Belmonts and shoots three ghost heads out of his mouth at them. The Belmonts dodge out of the way of the ghost heads. Simon whips Dracula in his legs while Richter throws an axe at Dracula and hits his shoulder. Dracula roars in pain. Simon jumps in the air and swings his whip at Dracula, the beast moves out the way of the attack and punches Simon down to the ground. Richter whips Dracula torso three times. Dracula turns his attention to Richter and shoots a fireball at him. Richter didn't have time to move out of the way, so he shields himself and takes the impact of the fireball. Richter gets knocked into a wall.
Alucard recovers from the ground and hits Dracula with Dark Lightning. Dracula turns his attention to his son. He begins to roar as he charges up lightning from his hands. He shoots the giant blast of electricity at Alucard, but the vampire uses his Mist Form to dodge out of the way. Alucard charges at his father and swings his sword at him, Dracula blocks the attack with his wing and knocks Alucard away.
Mario and Peach just watched the battle from the sidelines, hoping that the Belmonts and Alucard could stop Dracula. Daisy starts to slowly regain consciousness. She begins to sit up, holding her head and groaning in pain.
"W-What...What's going on?" Daisy asks groggily.
Mario and Peach turn to the Sarasaland Princess. "Daisy!" They give the brunette a hug.
"How are you feeling?" Mario asks.
"Terrible." Daisy looks to see Peach's bleeding at the side of her torso. She gasps. "Oh my god! Cousin, what happened to you?! Who did this?!"
"Y-You did. You were being mind controlled by Death and Dracula and you gave me a nasty cut." Peach winces in pain holding her torso. "I'm okay for now."
"Mind controlled…?" Daisy looks at Luigi's dead body and remembers what happened. Dracula had taken over her mind and forced her to kill Luigi, giving his soul to Death. "Luigi…" She looks up to see the Belmonts and Alucard fighting a beast she assumed was Dracula. "Dracula…" She looks down angrily, tightening her fists and gritting her teeth.
"The Belmonts and Alucard got this. They're fighting their hardest over there." Mario says.
"I have faith that they can do it. They've done it before." Peach comments.
Daisy envelops her forearm in an orange crystal. She stands up from the ground. Her eyes now fixated at Dracula. Her breathing is getting heavy.
Mario turns to Daisy. His eyes widen at the Sarasaland Princess' anger flaring and her forearm enveloped in crystal. "Uh oh. Peachy, your cousin got that crazy look in her eyes." The plumber says tapping his girlfriend.
"D-Daisy? W-What do you think your doing?! Why did you activate your crystal powers?" Peach asks worriedly.
"He's gonna pay. HE'S GONNA PAY!" Daisy yells. She goes charging at Dracula.
"DAISY NO!" Mario and Peach screams, extending their arms to Daisy.
Dracula lets out a roar, surrounding himself in dark aura. He was increasing his power. The Belmonts and Alucard prepared for Dracula's next attack. However, they did not expect to see what happened next. Daisy runs past the three and jumps at Dracula. She punches through Dracula's chest with her crystal gauntlet. The smashers gasp in shock. Dracula screams in pain with blood spitting out of his mouth. He falls down to the ground with Daisy on top of him.
Daisy takes her arm from Dracula's chest and jumps off the beast. Her crystal enveloped forearm was now covered in blood. Dracula begins to revert back to his vampire form. The King of Vampire starts to pant heavily. He was standing on one knee, placing his hand over his chest where Daisy punched through. He starts coughing up blood. Blood leaking from the side of his mouth. He looks up at Daisy angrily.
"I-Impossible! Wounded by you! How could this be?! This shouldn't happen!" Dracula coughs up more blood.
Daisy just stared at Dracula coldly. She raises her crystal gauntlet. "I'm going to knock your head off. You corrupted my mind! Made me attack my family! Made me kill the one I love! For that, you will-" Before the Sarasaland Princess could throw a punch, a mysterious dark eye appears in between her and Dracula. Daisy steps back in surprise. "What the?! What are you?!"
The dark eye releases a burst of dark energy all over Dracula's chambers. The smashers started to ascend into the air and pushed through the double doors, sending them flying out of Dracula's castle. The smashers crash onto the ground. The darkness from the mysterious envelopes the entirety of Dracula's Castle. Soon the darkness disappeared with Dracula's Castle. The blood moon disappears from the sky, all the monsters that were rampaging in New Smash City began to vanish. The red sky has now returned to its dark blue color with the bright moon shining over it.
The smashers except Luigi stand up from the ground. They look to see the castle gone and the sky back to normal.
"What in the world was that thing?" Simon questions.
"I've never seen anything like it, such power it had to do that. All I could feel is an overwhelming sense of darkness." Richter says.
"My father is still alive. He will return." Alucard says.
Peach looks up to the sky. "Look everyone!" She points to the sky. Everyone looks up to see Luigi's soul floating down to the ground. The soul enters back into its body. Mario kneels down to Luigi's body and puts his head on his chest. He hears a heartbeat. His brother was alive.
Luigi begins to slowly open his eyes. He sees his brother. "M-Mario? I-Is that you?" He asks weakly.
"Luigi, my brother." Tears began to well up in Mario's eyes. He hugs his brother tightly. "I'm so happy you're okay. I thought I lost you."
"W-What happened? L-Last thing I remembered I was…" Luigi turns to see Daisy staring at him. He then remembers what happened. "AHHHHHHH!" He quickly crawls away and hides behind Simon. "S-She killed me! D-Daisy did it! G-Get her away!" He yells.
Daisy clutches her chest tightly. It hurt her so much to see Luigi so afraid of her. Tears began to well up in her eyes.
"Luigi wait! You got it all wrong! Daisy didn't kill you on purpose! She was being mind controlled by Dracula!" Richter explains.
"W-What?" Luigi tilts his head in confusion.
"Correct. My father put Daisy under mind control and used her to kill you. We all came in to save you." Alucard confirms.
"L-Luigi!" Daisy falls to her knees and cries. "I'm sorry Luigi! I'm sorry! It pained me to see what I did to you! Even if it was out of my control! It broke my heart! I'm sorry!" The Sarasaland Princess continued to cry.
Luigi slowly walks up to Daisy. He felt terrible about the way he reacted. He kneels down to Daisy, placing his hand on the side of her face. He wipes her tear stained face with his thumb. "I'm sorry Daisy. I-I reacted very badly without knowing the truth. Don't feel sad. I love you."
Daisy looks up at her boyfriend. She wipes her tear stained face with her arm and smiles back at Luigi. "I love you too Luigi." The two embrace and share a passionate kiss. After they break away, Luigi collapses on the ground. "Luigi!" Daisy yells worriedly.
"He's probably exhausted and fell asleep. We should start heading back to the mansion and clean ourselves up." Mario says.
Peach turns to the Belmonts and Alucard. She gives them a bow. "I can't thank you enough for helping us. You saved my family and friends. You have my gratitude."
"Of course Princess Toadstool. We are your friends after all." Simon nods with a smile.
Richter does his signature peace sign and winks. "That's right. We're also all a family. Families stick together to help each other."
"This has been a long, cursed night. I wish to return my slumber at once. I'm glad things are now at peace, for now." Alucard says.
The smashers start making their way back to the mansion. Daisy lifts Luigi up and puts him on her back. She sighs. "This definitely wasn't how I planned to spend my anniversary." Daisy turns and looks up at the sky to see that mysterious dark eye staring back at her. The dark eye disappears into darkness. "What are you…?" The Sarasaland Princess wondered.
"Daisy!" Peach calls. Daisy shakes her thoughts away as a her cousin called her. She turns back to her friends and follows them.
Author's Note: This is actually one of my favorite story ideas and I'm glad I finally put them all into words. The idea really started off with me just messing around taking pictures in Smash Ultimate, and I turned it into something bigger. Also gave me the opportunity to work with other characters besides my usuals. I LOVE Daisy as well, so I needed to have a story focused on my favorite princess. I hope this wasn't too edgy or silly, I know putting Mario characters in something like this is strange. I hope I did my best to entertain you guys.
Also gee, I wonder what that mysterious dark eye was all about? Could it be foreshadowing for something crazy in the future? Who know?
Hope you all have a fantastic day and take care.
