CHAPTER TWO: TO THE CASTLE

"What's wrong Luigi? Did something happen to Mario?" Yoshi asked. He could hear Luigi's rapid breathing on the other line.

 "Bowser got him. Just come over and I'll explain." Luigi answered in a frightened voice and hung up the phone.

 About ten minuets later there was a knock on the door. Luigi ran to the door and opened it, only to find a koopa troopa.

 "What do you want?" Luigi asked, his voice was now angry. He didn't know why Bowser would have the nerve to send one of his goons out to his house after what he did to Mario.

 "Lord Bowser sent me to tell you that he will kill the princess if you don't get to the castle in one day." The koopa troopa informed. Luigi wasn't sure why Bowser wanted him to know, and was a little confused.

 "Ok you told me, now leave." Luigi demanded and the koopa troopa went on its way down the path to Bowser's castle. As he was leaving, Yoshi came up to Luigi.

 "What's wrong Luigi?" Yoshi asked.

 "Bowser turned Mario evil somehow." Luigi answered. His face was as pale as a boo.

 "Is there anyway we can reverse whatever he did and make Mario good again?"

 "I don't know."

 "What are we going to do?"

 "We need to go to the castle."

 "Why?"

 "If we don't, Bowser will kill the princess." Luigi said.

 "Well let's go then." Yoshi replied.

 The two of them started off down the path to the castle. About half the way down the path they ran into a huge blockade.

 "Uh-oh." Yoshi said. There was the huge wall and hundreds of koopa troopas and goombas that Mario had faced earlier that day.

 "These guys are pushovers." Luigi said. He said that a little too loud because all the koopas and goombas looked down at him and Yoshi.

 "They're here!" One of the goombas yelled. Suddenly a large gate at the front of the wall opened.

 "What's that?" Yoshi asked. Luigi shrugged his shoulders as a large hammer brother walked out of the gate.

 "Which one of you tiny men will fight me?" The hammer brother asked Yoshi and Luigi asked as he walked up to them. Luigi walked up in his face.

 "I will." Luigi said, his look like Mario's was when he was fighting Bowser.

 "Luigi let me take this guy." Yoshi said, trying to push Luigi aside.

 "No Yoshi, I need to take this guy to send Bowser a message." Luigi said as he started stretching.

 "Alright, that's enough preparation, let's fight." The hammer brother yelled.

 He jumped at Luigi, his hammer above his head, and smashed it into the top of Luigi's head. He screamed, the pain was very bad. He got back on his feet and kicked the hammer brother in the knee. The hammer brother fell to the ground. Luigi kicked him in the head while he was on the ground. The hammer brother jumped up off the ground and smacked him in the stomach with his hammer.

 Luigi yelled in pain and fell to the ground. The hammer brother raised his hammer above his head and was about to bring it down on Luigi's chest. Luigi swung his leg around and tripped the hammer brother. Luigi got up off the ground and stomped on the hammer brothers stomach, which made him spit up blood. The hammer brother struggled to his feet, using his hammer as a support, and punched Luigi in the face.

 Luigi flew into the wall from the hammer brother's punch. Luigi hit the wall near the top and fell off. He hit he ground hard and the hammer brother was charging at him. Luigi brought himself to his feet and began to charge a fireball. The hammer brother saw this and tried to stop himself from going any farther but couldn't. Luigi blasted the fireball as soon as the hammer brother was close enough for the blast to hurt the most.

 The hammer brother flew backwards many feet before falling to the ground. Luigi ran up to him and picked him up by his foot and threw him into a crowd of goombas that were watching. He got back up and ran at Luigi with his fist in the air, not noticing he dropped his hammer in the crowd. Luigi jumped at him and landed on his head, knocking him to the ground. He was getting back on his feet but Luigi blasted a hole in his chest, squirting blood and internal organ pieces everywhere.

 "This isn't over Luigi, they don't call us hammer brothers for nothing." The hammer brother choked out before he died. Luigi was too tiered to fight another hammer brother and knew he was in trouble.

 The gate at the front of the wall opened once again and another hammer brother ran out, hammer raised. He was about to bring the hammer down on Luigi, who was too weak to defend himself, when Yoshi head butted him to the ground.

 "Yoshi." Luigi said weakly.

 "Leave this one to me Luigi." Yoshi replied.

 The hammer brother was already up by the time Yoshi was done talking to Luigi. He ran at Yoshi and hit him in the stomach with his hammer. Yoshi landed on the ground several feet away but got back on his feet quickly. Yoshi ran up and whipped the hammer brother across the face with his tail. He fell on his back and got back up, like it didn't hurt him.

 He threw his hammer at Yoshi and knocked him to the ground. He walked over to Yoshi and stomped on his tail. Yoshi let out a yell of pain and jumped up and kicked the hammer brother in the nards. The hammer brother crouched in pain and let out a high- pitched squeal. Yoshi then launched his tongue out of his mouth and ate the hammer brother. He then laid an egg, with the hammer brother in it, and threw it into the wall and exploded, blasting a large chunk out of it.

 "Take that bitch." Yoshi said. He helped Luigi up and they continued forward. The koopas and goombas that were by the wall didn't dare attack them as they passed.

 They continued forward until Bowser's castle came into view. It was on a large pillar of rock that was in the middle of a large pool of lava. A large bridge led from the castle to the edge of the lava pool. The lava pool was in a large ditch and the pillar was hundred of feet tall. Luigi and Yoshi approached the castle bridge but half way across they were stopped by another one of Bowser's henchmen.

 "Who are you?" Yoshi asked. The creature, engulfed in shadows, approached them.

 "Hey, answer him!" Luigi yelled. It didn't answer again and continued towards them.

 "Alright, now you're in for it." Yoshi said as he and Luigi prepared for a fight.

 "You guys are going to try and fight me?" The creature asked.

 "At least you're talking, so, who are you?" Yoshi asked again.

 "You can call me, Monster." Monster answered.

 Luigi and Yoshi's faces became white when they saw him. He was a giant koopa troopa with big claws. His shell was orange and had spikes like Bowser's. He was bigger than Luigi and Yoshi put together and probably bigger than Bowser.

 "Well we need to pass." Luigi commanded.

 "I can't let you do that. Lord Mario demanded I block the bridge, just in case you guy tried to get in the castle." Monster explained.

 "Well I'm Mario's brother and I say move." Luigi commanded again.

 "No."

 "Yes."

 "No."

 "Yes."

 "NO!" Monster yelled. He slashed Luigi's chest with his huge claws.

 "Hey!" Yoshi yelled. He ran up and kicked Monster in the head.

 Monster fell to the rock, which cracked his shell. He got back on his feet and blood began to drip out of his shell. Luigi ran up to him and kicked him in the stomach. Then Yoshi rolled him to the short wall at the edge of the bridge. He and Luigi picked him up and held him over the edge of the bridge.

 "No…please don't." Monster pleaded.

 "Good-bye Monster." Luigi said as he and Yoshi dropped him into the lava.

 "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Monster yelled as he fell into the lava.

 "Well Yoshi, we're almost to Mario. It's up to us to save the day this time." Luigi said as he turned to Yoshi.

 "Let's go save our friends." Yoshi said. The two of them turned to the doors of the castle and continued forward.
