~~~It's a Wonderful Life, (Mario style!!) Chapter 3~~~
"Do you really want to know?" Asked Clara gently. Luigi could tell by her sad tone of voice that whatever it is that's still to come was not good news, it took him a minute or so to gather enough courage to answer her.
"Yes...yes I do want to know, she's my friend after all." He replied.
"Very well." Said Clara, "Now close your eyes like before, and I'll take you back to the Mushroom kingdom."
So Luigi closed his eyes and felt the familiar tingling feeling all over like before, and when he opened his eyes again, he was standing right outside the doors of the same huge black fort he saw earlier.
"Alright Luigi," Said Clara, " Go inside and find out what has happened to your princess friend, but I warn you, be prepared for what you're about to see, I will wait here for you when you return." She finished while casually leaning against the walls of the fort. That warning didn't exactly boost Luigi's spirits, but none the less he walked towards the doors...when he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Hey wait!" Shouted Luigi, "How am I supposed to get past all of Bowser's guards? I'll be defenceless and outnumbered!"
"Now don't worry Luigi." Started Clara, "Think about it, Bowser took over this kingdom long ago, he has almost no enemies, and so he doesn't need a lot of guards around the place, you'll be able to go inside and look around with no problems."
"Man, I hope you're right." Slowly but surely, Luigi made his way into the castle.
~
He walked through the castle halls, hoping he was making his way towards the throne room of King Bowser Koopa to see what was happening, the flaming torches lining the way gave the halls an eerie glow. Koopa troopas passed him by now and then, but none took notice of him, as they probably thought he was one of Bowser's servants.
He came to a fork in the hall and decided to take the left path, but instead of finding the throne room, he found the dungeons instead, and boy it was not a pleasant sight for the plumber. He peered into some of the doors as he passed them by and was shocked by what he saw.
"Mushroom people!? I guess that explains why I haven't seen any coming through this place, they must have been here for a long time, they look very thin and just plain miserable." He said as he tried to look away from the sad sight, but saw plenty more as he looked through each of the barred windows, each room contained mushrooms looking worse than the ones before. The mushroom citizens had been captured when Bowser took over, and if they weren't used as servants, they were locked in prison for the rest of their days, and by the looks of some, they didn't seem to have many days left.
As he came to the next door, he couldn't believe his eyes, he was so startled that he jumped backwards and put his hand over his mouth, and a few tears leaked from his eyes, for inside that particular dungeon was..
"Yoshi and Toad!" He said to himself, "How could Bowser do this to them?" There were other different coloured yoshi's in that prison cell as well as the one he knew, even without Mario and Luigi, yoshi's from Yoshi's Island visited the Mushroom kingdom often, but these ones must have been captured during their last visit. As desperate as Luigi was to talk to them, he knew it was no use since they wouldn't know him.
With a heavy heart for his friends, he continued along the dungeon corridors in hope of finding the throne room, sure enough, as he turned the corner.
"BWAHAHAHA!!!" Boomed a very loud and rough voice, it made Luigi jump out of skin and he ran back around the corner and hid in the shadows to listen in.
"Listen up everyone!" Yelled Bowser, "Tomorrow will mark the anniversary of me taking over the Mushroom kingdom!"
"Tomorrow?" Thought Luigi, "But tomorrow is Christmas Day! Is he saying he took over the mushroom kingdom on Christmas Day??? I didn't think even Bowser would be that mean!"
"..And it also marks the time when I got my personal slave!" Gloated Bowser, and gestured towards a corner not far from him, standing there was a person Luigi couldn't make out very well, dressed in saggy pink rags and had long golden hair which looked as though it hadn't been washed in a long time. Luigi squinted to try and make out the figure.
"Hey, that person looks very familiar." He mumbled as he crept forward trying to get a better look, but quickly crept back when he heard Bowser's voice booming through the whole castle.
"Come over here you!" He said, then the figure Luigi had been trying to make out walked slowly towards the koopa king, and when the figure stepped into the light, Luigi's face turned white, for there stood..
"P.Princess Toadstool! What have they done to you?" He said with tears leaking from his eyes, "Clara was right, I wasn't prepared for this!" Then, while blinking back tears, he ran out of the castle as fast as his legs could carry him hoping to find Clara.
As soon as he ran outside the doors, he smacked into something and fell to the ground, it took him a few seconds to come round.
"Hey! Watch where you're going!" Complained Clara as she helped him to his feet. What were you running from anyway?
"Did you know what happened to the princess?" Asked Luigi, with a very saddened look on his face.
"Yes I do, think about it Luigi, she ruled this kingdom before Bowser took over, there was nothing she could do about it and so Bowser captured her, put her in chains and forced her to be his slave for the rest of her life"
"I can't believe I let all this happen." He said sadly while staring at the ground. Clara gently took one paw and lifted Luigi's chin so he was facing her.
"You do realise that there is one thing you can do to change all of this." Said Clara gently.
"There is?" He replied, while wiping tears from his face.
"Of course there is, what caused this in the first place?" Clara asked.
"Well, me wishing for it I guess." He replied.
"Then that's exactly how you make things back to normal."
"You mean all I had to do all along was just wish for things to be back the way they were?"
"Well not exactly." Replied Clara, "You have to wish that you existed on this planet, and you also have to understand that people do care about you, although they may not show it, you can be sure that they feel it. Hasn't your experience taught you anything?"
"You bet it has Clara, Mario was a better person when I was around, the yoshi's and mushroom people all had happy lives, and the princess was happy ruling her kingdom, I never realised that I brought so much happiness into people's lives!"
Clara couldn't help but giggle at him, "You sure did Luigi."
"And I've got you to thank for it, you showed me what a world without Luigi Mario was like, and I have to say...it sucks!" They both began laughing, and then Luigi walked up to Clara and hugged her.
"Thank you Clara, you've helped me a lot, I wish there was something I could do to pay you back."
"No worries Luigi, it was a pleasure to help you, plus this should help me finally earn my wings." She said while winking at him. "Ok Luigi, whenever you're ready, just make your wish, and you shall return from where you came.
Awww wasn't it sweet! Well anyway, find out in the last chapter If Luigi manages to return home! And if he does, will he have been missed? Only one way to find out =P, remember to review! Until then, keep reading!!! ^_^
