Chapter 2: Bad Weather Ahead

(Mario, Wario, Luigi, and Waluigi walk up the gangplank and onto Wario's ship. Mario goes into the cabin and starts unpacking his stuff. Luigi is standing nearby.)
Mario: Let's see...tennis balls...check. Tennis racket...check. Luigi's tennis racket...check. Luigi's pajamas? Luigi, what's this doing in here?!?
(Mario pulls out a white pair of pajamas with little green L's all over them.)
Luigi: I wanted to take a nap.
Mario: Well you don't need pajamas for that. Quit embarrassing us! I bet the person reading this is laughing at us!
(Luigi walks outside the cabin and saw Wario messing with the steering wheel. Luigi goes over to him.)
Wario: Hey Luigi! Will you ask Waluigi why we're not going anywhere?
Luigi: Sure. Where is he?
Wario: I think he's on the starboard side.
(Luigi walks away before Wario finishes his sentence. He quickly finds Waluigi near the back of the ship. Waluigi was looking at the dark clouds with a smile on his face.)
Waluigi: It's almost time.
Luigi: Almost time for what?
Waluigi: Almost time to go to the island, silly.
Luigi: Oh. Wario wanted me to ask you why we're not going anywhere.
Waluigi: Er...I don't know yet.
(After Waluigi said this, Luigi saw the answer: the ship was still tied to the dock.)
Luigi: Yo Stick Figure. You forgot to untie the rope.
Waluigi: What the? What did you call me? Grrrrr!
(Waluigi chases Luigi, but his quarry got dashed away. Waluigi goes back to untie the rope.)
Waluigi: (muttering)You can run this time, but it will be your last.
(Later everyone is in the cabin talking to one another. It is starting to rain outside.)
Mario: Luigi, what the heck did you do to Waluigi to make him chase you?
Wario: Yeah. What did you do?
Luigi: I called him Stick Figure.
(Mario laughs. Wario finally has something to laugh about too.)
Wario: Why did you call him that?
Luigi: Because he looks like one.
Waluigi: Luigi is a jerk.
Luigi: I am not! I never call anyone Lard Butt!
Mario: Wait a minute! Wario, how are you steering this thing?
(Outside the waves become rough and the rain comes down harder. There was some lightning and then a clap of thunder! Luigi jumped so high he hit the ceiling, then comes crashing down on Wario.)
Wario: You wussy! Watch where you're jumping will ya?
Luigi: Wario! We must turn back! Now!
Wario: Don't worry. I'll see what I can do. (muttering) Not.
(Wario carefully goes outside. The other three follow. Now a strong wind is blowing and there is more thunder and lightning.)
Luigi: Retreat! Retreat!
(And that is exactly what they did, but Waluigi closed the door before Luigi had the chance to get in, then Waluigi locked it. Remember, this was part of his plan.)
Luigi: You guys let me in! You guys! Guys! Let me in! Mama mia.
Waluigi: Hey Wario. Do you hear something?
Wario: I don't think so. Do you?
Waluigi: Only the sea and th-
Mario: Well I do! That's Luigi! You locked him out!
Waluigi: No I didn't. Luigi is a wuss! He never went outside. I bet he's hiding under the bed.
Mario: He's not a wuss! He's just timid. Hey look out the window! There he is!
(Sure enough there, just outside the window, was a very frightened looking Luigi, still holding the doorknob for dear life. Waluigi walks over to the door and fiddles around with the lock pretending to try to unlock the door.)
Waluigi: This lock thingy isn't working. It won't turn.
Mario: Don't be such a darn idiot Waluigi. Move it!
(Mario shoves Waluigi to the side and easily unlocks the door. Unfortunately Luigi has already lost his grip on the doorknob and is now hanging dangerously close to the water. One more slip up or gust of wind and it could be the end for the little plumber.)
Luigi: Help me!
Mario: Hang on Luigi! I'm coming!
Luigi: Hurry!
(Mario tries to step outside the cabin, but the wind blew him back inside. Mario tries again and that darn wind blew him inside again.)
Mario: Hmmm? I know how to get out of here!
(Mario runs over to his backpack and digs into it, then pulls out...the Metal Cap! Mario puts it on and transforms into Metal Mario, then he runs outside.)
Waluigi: (whispering) Wario, we have to use plan B.
Wario: Plan B? What's plan B?
(Waluigi slaps Wario in the face.)
Waluigi: You know what I'm talking about!
Wario: Oh! That's right. I remember now.
(Wario runs out the door. Creeping close to the wall, Wario makes his way to where the life saver were. Since Luigi was on the port side Wario tossed all the life savers off the starboard side which was nowhere near Luigi. M.M. Moves over to Luigi and holds out his right hand.)
M.M. stands for Metal Mario. Duh!
M.M.: Grab my hand!
Luigi: Kay. I'll try.
(Luigi lunges out to grab M.M.'s hand but missed. Luigi tried again. This one missed too. Luigi lunges out yet again. This time he got a hold of his target. Waluigi wasn't out of tricks yet. Waluigi runs outside and pulls M.M.'s hat down so he can't see.)
M.M.: Hey! What the?!
(M.M. goes to swat Waluigi and lets go of Luigi instead.)
Luigi: Mama miaaaahhhh!
(Splash! Luigi falls into the water. Luigi tries to swim back to the ship, but the waves were too rough. As Luigi struggles in the water, M.M. manages to hit Waluigi in the face with a steel fist.)
Waluigi: Ow! My nose! You broke my nose!
Wario: Hey Metal Barfio! Quit hitting my brother and try saving yours
M.M.: Oh no! Luigi!
Wario: I'd give you some life savers to toss, but I don't have any.
M.M.: No life savers?! Luigi! Hang on to one of these!
Waluigi: Hang on to one of what?
(M.M. runs towards Luigi, who is still struggling in the water, then M.M. fires some kind of ice breath at the water creating little icebergs.)
Luigi: I don't think...I can keep...this up much...longer.
(Luigi went underwater for about seconds, then reappears. Luigi tried to grabbing icebergs, but he couldn't get any. Finally he went underwater again. This time he didn't come back.)
M.M.: No! Luigi! Noooooo!
Wario: Mama mia!
Waluigi: He's gone. Luigi's gone!
M.M.: My brother! Gone!
(M.M., Wario, and Waluigi walk into the cabin. Wario closes the door.)
Wario: Yo Barfio! This is for hitting my brother!
(Wario goes to punch M.M. Of course punching a plumber made of dense metal isn't the best idea because instead of Wario hurting M.M., Wario hurts himself.)
Wario: Ow! Ouch, ouch, ouch!
M.M.: Serves you right. Such a weak punch can't put a dent in my armor.
Waluigi: I bet I can put a dent in.
Wario: Waluigi! No!
(It was too late. Waluigi had already kicked M.M. and is now holding his foot and yelping in pain.)
Waluigi: Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!
M.M.: Idiot.
