Beep-O floated into visibility. He cleared his nonexistent throat before speaking. "Let me tell you the story of Sparda. The Black Knight, the Demon with the heart a man. Long ago, the demon king ruled over the world with an Iron fist. It was terrible for everyone. But one day, a demon, his right hand, had enough of the injustice. So he rebelled. And he successfully overthrew the demon king! And eventually peace returned, and Sparda the Black Knight retired, and settled down. How do I know this? Because my friends and I met his son."
The sky was pitch black, the moon shining through the clouds casting shadows all over. As if the sun had no effect, the world seemed darker than ever before. The dark night was filled with ominous and menacing sounds that echoed around the empty streets of New Donk City. A short figure with medium length spiky white hair on his head walked into the office of Mayor Pauline. The figure, was a Rabbid. He wore a crimson Red coat with golden buttons and rolled up sleeves, Dark red leather pants with 2 chains on either side of the waist. Black, long cuffed gloves covered his hands, which where themselves like white oven mitts in shape, And black boots were on his feet. He sighed and opened his blue eyes. On his chest was a leather brown bandolier with 2 holsters, each holding a pistol, one white and black, the other black and white. And on his back, was a large, silver sword with an upside down Rabbid's head screaming as the guard, and above that, a rib cage, and a bone emerging diagonally from each side. He walked inside, and closed the door, and gunshots were heard.
Alba
A young Rabbid estatically ran down the sidewalk of the city, holding down his green, backwards facing cap as he ran. This is Rabbid Luigi, and he just got the gig of a life time.
He couldn't believe it! His talents were finally being recognized!!!! He stopped at a nearby apartment, and steered himself inside. He ran into the elevator, hit a button, and stood there, shaking in anticipation. The elevator beeped, the doors slid open, and Rabbid Luigi ran through. He nearly kicked the door open, Kuzco-style, but inhaled, calmed himself, and opened the door before basically screaming "BABE, GUESS WHAT!!!!" Out stepped Rabbid Rosalina, who simply said "shush." and walked up to him. "Sorry babe! it's just... I got the gig!!" He jumped, hugged her, and spun her around in excitement. "Yes! Finally! You've been working hard all week on this audition!" Rabbid Rosalina said in uncharacteristic excitement. "And it all payed off! I'm gonna go call the others and let'em hear the good news!" For the last year the loving couple had moved into an apartment paid for by the Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, Princess Peach. Rabbid Luigi had moved here as New Donk City held opportunities to help him further hus breakdancing career, Rabbid Rosalina came along for the ride since she had started to grow "fond" of his company over the past year, and on New Year's Day last year, they finally got together. It's October now, and the Halloween Dance competition had come up, and Rabbid Luigi wished to participate. And today, he finally managed to get an email from the competition's organizer, that his audition was accepted. He picked phone, unlocked it, and scrolled through his contacts. He decided to forget the phone and grabbed his laptop. He opened a group call, and soon enough all of Team Mario popped into view. His brother, Rabbid Mario, his own human counterpart, Luigi, Luigi's Brother, actual Mario, Princess Peach, and Edge. "Hey guys!" said Rabbid Luigi in joyousness.
"So, did it happen?" asked the human Mario excitedly, with hope in his voice.
"I GOT IT!!!" screamed Rabbid Luigi. Enthusiastic and congratulating murmurs were exchanged throughout the group. But then, Edge noticed something. "Wait, Wait, Wait. Where's Rabbid Peach?" As if on cue, Rabbid Peach's face popped onto screen. "You're late signorina." Rabbid Mario said. "Fashionably!" Rabbid Peach retorted cheerfully, causing almost the entire group to sigh. "So, what'd I miss?" "Rabbid Luigi got that dance gig he auditioned for." Edge filled her in. "Wait really?" Rabbid Luigi nodded his head. "Well that's great! You've been working so hard for that." The group gave a collective nod in agreement. "Well, anything new on the other side of the spectrum?" Rabbid Luigi asked. Rabbid Mario was currently helping Beep-O test new weapons, Edge was doing some bounty hunting jobs (fitting), and Rabbid Peach was still doing her daily vlogs. However, the humans didn't really have anything going on for them. Peach was still ruling the Kingdom, and The Mario Bros. were enjoying their week of R . This was the one week evey year that Bowser absolutely REFUSED to kidnap Princess Peach on, and the Bros. were about to enjoy it. And with that the conversation concluded. The team logged off, with everyone of them asking Rabbid Luigi to tell Rabbid Rosalina they said "hi". Rabbid Luigi got up and stretched. It was nice to keep up with his friends. Flopped onto the bed and Rabbid Rosalina followed up, holding a book in hand. Rabbid Luigi wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "The others said hi." "That's nice. I'll join in the group call next time." Rabbid Luigi nodded in understanding. He came to accept this type of "apathy" from his girlfriend. He found it somewhat cute how she pretended not to care. "Whatcha readin'" "Bwahcula." "Oh that's a good one." They talked about the book as Rabbid Rosalina read, and eventually, the two fell asleep.
Stop
The Rabbid exited Mayor Pauline's office, a neutral expression on his face. "I can't thank you enough Dante. These demons have been targeting the city since a few days ago. It's really strange." The Rabbid, Dante nodded. "I can only pray that you can manage to save the next victims, whoever they may be." Dante held out his gloved hand, and Pauline dropped a few coins into it. And with that, he pocketed the gains, walked away into the night.
