Chapter 14: One Yoshi Lost

(Mario and Luigi went into a stare down and started to growl at each other. They didn't even notice anything around them.)
Purpley: Wow. Luigi looks tough. You can almost see the fire in his eyes.
Pinky: He probably won't look so tough if he didn't take a nap. I told you It'd work. What's Mario's problem anyway?
Wario: His problem is he's a mean piece of pork.
Birdo: Seriously guys. Quit it!
Luigi: All right, punk. I don't know what's wrong with you, but maybe a Fireball in the rear end will fix it.
Mario: Do your worst, Buttwipe. I ain't scared of you.
Sushie: Stop it! Dis is childish!
Waluigi: Launch some attacks already!
(Before anyone could do anything, there was a violent explosion and a lot of smoke. No one could see now.)
Wario: What the heck happened?
Waluigi: Wario! Did you really have to fart?!
Wario: It wasn't me!
(Suddenly, a female laughed and the smoke cleared. There stood Vicky and Nicky.)
Sushie: Oh no! Dis is da real deal!
Luigi: You again! Don't you get the message?
Vicky: Heh heh heh. Did you honestly think you could escape us by climbing the mountain?
Luigi: You! Leave this island or you'll pay for this!
Nicky: Tsk tsk! That's no way to talk. Vicky, get that stink bomb ready. I want to catch something for once.
(Vicky pulls a bomb out of her pocket and prepares to hurl it at Luigi. Everyone cowers behind Luigi as he continues to repel the zookeepers.)
Luigi: I mean it. Leave at once or you'll feel...the...burn.
(All of a sudden, Waluigi ran forward.)
Waluigi: No! I wanna be the hero! Engage Dark Stare!
Wario: Did he just say...
(Waluigi starts to stare at the zookeepers.)
Wario: Yup. He did.
Nicky: What is he doing?
Waluigi: Here we go! Dark Stare attack!
(And it was an ugly stare, with those evil eyes and gaping mouth. As a matter of fact, he was hideous. Waluigi's attack does...jack. It didn't seem to do anything! Vicky threw the stink bomb and created another cloud of smoke.)
Waluigi: Shoooooooooot!
Luigi: Oh my God! This smells worse than Mario's socks!
Redy: Hey! What the? Let go of me! Luigi, help me!
(The smoke cleared and the zookeepers and Redy were gone.)
Luigi: Is everyone all right? Darn it! Stupid zookeepers got away!
Birdo: I'm not sure. It' sounded like someone got attacked.
Orangey: Oh no! Redy's gone!
Mario: Say what? I just saved that one too...
Blacky: Luigi, what are we gonna do? Redy's been captured.
Luigi: I got an idea. Let's yell at Waluigi.
Waluigi: Huh?
Luigi: You dumb dude! this is your fault! I could have taken them out! Dark Stare is the worst attack ever!
Waluigi: It's not my fault they ignored me.
(Luigi begins to jump on Waluigi.)
Luigi: Fuzz Brian! Nincompoop! Knot Head! Idiot! Buttwipe! Stick Figure! Gnat Noggin! Imbecile! Noodle Puss! Turd!
Wario: Oooh...that's gotta hurt.
Birdo: Crunch.
Sushie: Hey! There's no use cryin' over spilt milk. We gotta find those zookeepers.
Waluigi: Oh! Stop! Ow! Quit! Ouch! Whoa! Yow!
Sushie: Is he wearin' a Power Bounce badge by any chance?
Mario: Nope. He's that good. His specialty is jumping. Well, jumping and fire attacks. I like ice attacks. I kinda wish I brought my Ultra Hammer. Those zookeepers would pay then!
Waluigi: Ow! Son-of-a! Ouch! Stop! Yow!
Sushie: Is he goin' to stop soon?
Mario: Hmm... Apparently not.
Waluigi: Save me! Yow! Not the face! Ouch!
Mario: Luigi's gonna turn him into a pulp if we don't help him out.
Wario: We'll see about that.
(Just before Luigi landed on Waluigi again, Wario grabbed him by the leg and smacked him on the ground.)
Luigi: Hey! That hurt!
Wario: You know, that felt pretty good.
(Wario raised Luigi into the air and was about to let him have it again.)
Blacky: Yellow Mario, what are you doing?!
(Wario brought Luigi down with devastating force, but Blacky dived in front of him and got hit by Luigi, sending him ten feet back. Pinky and Purpley help him get up.)
Pinky: Blacky, are you okay?
Blacky: I...I think so.
Luigi: Darn it, Wario. What's the big idea? That's it! I'm mad now!
Mario: For God's sake, Luigi, you're almost as bad as a Primape. If there's any hope of getting Redy back, you can't freak out all the time. A calm mind is the wisest.
Sushie: Uh...Mario.
Mario: Yeah?
Sushie: Luigi's not even here. He left.
Mario: Say what?
(Mario looked around and sure enough, he saw Luigi running down the mountain. Once in awhile, he'd stop, scan the area, then run again.)
Mario: Hey. What does he think he's doing?
Bluey: I think he's looking for Redy.
Mario: What? He's crazy. The zookeepers are probably long gone by now. What a crazy dude!
(Indeed they were long gone. They had just returned to their ship and put Redy in a cage.)
Vicky: There. It's about time we got one.
Redy: Grrrrr... You're not gonna get away with this! Luigi will come and beat you up!
Nicky: Forget about him. You'll be the star of the zoo now.
Vicky: Well, it was a hard day's work and I'm pretty bushed. Let's catch another yoshi tomorrow.
(Vicky and Nicky walk away, leaving Redy in the cage. He looks at the sky with a sad look in his eye.)
Redy: I know you'll save me, Luigi.
(Meanwhile back on the mountain, Mario was deciding whether or not to go after Luigi.)
Mario: We can't let him run around like that.
Wario: Well, I'm not going.
Mario: You're part of the reason he's mad.
Wario: Actually, Waluigi is.
Birdo: Like smacking him on the ground didn't make him mad.
Mario: Birdo, will you let me talk? I don't see why you're still here. The only cool thing you did was try to trick the zookeepers with the egg. You useless now.
(Birdo's eyes began to fill with tears.)
Birdo: Yo-you're mean! I hope you break your neck! That's it! I'm bailing out!
(Birdo ran away crying.)
Wario: What a baby.
Mario: Seriously, she doesn't do anything cool. I'm still trying to figure out why Sushie is still here.
Sushie: I'm helpin' Luigi take care of the yoshis. And if there's any cool battle scenes, I'll be ready.
Mario: Luigi better come back soon. The sun is setting and I don't want him to be out there by himself.
Luigi: What's it to you? I can light my way.
Mario: Huh? Oh, you're back. Find anything?
Luigi: Nope. For being zookeepers, those guys get around. Okay. I've had enough for today.
(Luigi fell asleep on the spot.)
Mario: Shows it...
