Chapter six: Krazy Koopa
(Unknown Location)
The mysterious figure sat in the shadows, again in deep thought. He found it hard to believe that King Boo would lose, especially with the added size. Still, he was lucky enough to bring back the Power Crystal, so that was the main thing. His group was now almost halfway through the search for the Power Crystals, but Luigi's team was proving to be quite annoying.
"Hey, boss!" The younger figure said as he walked into the room. "I'm just double-checking before I head out. The next crystal IS where you said it was, right?"
"Correct." The figure replied. "But I don't want any screw-ups on this one. I want you to take a couple of your men with you."
The younger figure stepped out of the shadows, revealing a young Koopa with glasses and rainbow hair. "No prob, Bob!" Iggy laughed. "I'll have this one in the bag!"
"Good, but don't call me Bob."
(Forever Forest)
"Thank you so much for helping to save us from that monster!" Bootler said.
"Yeah. I'm just upset that we couldn't get the crystal back from him." Bow added.
All of the Boos were crowded around Luigi and the others, each thanking them. Fice T was hiding behind Waluigi's leg the whole time.
"If there's anything that we could do for you, please name it!" Bootler said.
Luigi scratched his chin. "Well, you could tell us where Igor is." He replied. "My team and I need to talk to him."
"Oh, certainly!" Bootler replied. "He should be downstairs in his shop."
"Thank you, Bootler." Luigi said as he and the rest of the team walked through the crowd of Boos and walked through a doorway.
"Why do we need to talk to Igor?" Goombaria asked.
"Remember what Russ T said?" Luigi quizzed. "Igor was one of the people that originally found the Power Crystal."
"Hey, that's right!" Sonar said. "If we can get the info out of Igor, we could get one of the Crystals before these villains do!"
Luigi and the others walked downstairs, into the Item Shop. Igor the Boo, who was coincidentally a hunchback, greeted them.
"Luigi!" Igor said. "Fancy seeing you all the way out here! What can I do for you?"
"We need you to tell us what you know about the Power Crystals." Luigi explained.
Igor's face fell. Looking around suspiciously, he floated to the doorway to make sure that no one was coming. Suddenly, he flew back to the group. He floated beside Luigi.
"Are we alone?" Igor asked.
"Yeah, we're alone." Luigi replied.
"Are you sure we're alone?"
"I'm sure we're alone!"
"Are you POSITIVE we're alone?"
"I'm positive we're alone!" Luigi almost shouted, clearly getting frustrated.
"Then who's that standing beside you?" Igor asked, raising an eyebrow.
"...That's you." Luigi replied.
"I know, but can I be trusted?"
The team stood in silence when Igor said that, each one of them having a giant sweatdrop over his or her head.
"This guy is a yo-yo." Waluigi whispered to Melody, who simply nodded.
"Look, we understand that you were among the group that originally broke the Power Crystal into seven fragments." Luigi explained. "An evil gang of villains is searching for these fragments, and they've already got three of the seven pieces."
Igor quickly became serious. "Well, why didn't you say so?" He asked. "So you're wondering where the crystal piece I've been keeping track of is, am I right?"
The team nodded, a few of them answering with a yes.
"Well, if my memory serves me right, which it does, it ended up in Sarasaland, in the hands of the royal family." Igor explained.
"How did they get their hands on it in the first place?" Melody asked.
"You got me. It was originally in Moleville, but I think a few bandits swiped it and dropped it in Sarasaland." Igor replied with a shrug.
"Well, at least we know where it is." Sonar said.
"Not so, my vertically-challenged friend." Igor said. "That was years ago. The king of Sarasaland said that he thought the crystal was so beautiful that he would give it to his first child."
Luigi's and Waluigi's eyes sprang open. "THAT'S DAISY!" They both cried.
"We have to save her before these jerks get her!" Luigi said.
"For once, I fully agree with you!" Waluigi added.
After thanking Igor, everyone charged back upstairs and bolted through the mansion, charging through the Boos. Fice T was never happier to get out a building in his life.
Luigi said that it would actually be quicker if they ran into the woods and took a wrong turn on purpose, as they would end up back in Toad Town right away. Everyone except Fice T, who suggested that they go through the sewers anyway, agreed as they quickly took off into the forest.
The team burst into the forest and looked around for the wrong turn. However, every path looked the same.
"Are you sure that you know where to go, Luigi?" Goombaria asked, starting to tremble.
"Well, no." Luigi said. "But once we see something distinctive, we'll be able to get out of here easily."
The team soon found out that that was easier said than done. Everywhere looked the same. The just couldn't find anything that looked distinctive. After a good while, everyone shot an evil look at Luigi.
"'Once we see something distinctive'." Waluigi mocked. "I'm tellin ya, that's the LAST time I listen to you."
"Isn't there someone living here that could help us get out of here?" Melody asked.
"Yeah. A hermit lives around here somewhere." Luigi said before sighing. "But he's usually guarding the entrance to prevent people from getting lost."
Everyone moaned. In the meantime, Fice T had seen something out of the corner of his eye that no one had noticed before: A path leading to the center of the island of shrubbery. He quickly turned back to the team.
"What about that path?" Fice T asked. "Maybe we can find a clue as to how to get out of here."
Although they thought that the possibility of that happening was a long shot, the team was running out of other ideas. The team walked up the path, expecting to find a clear area.
What they saw instead was the least of things that they expected to see. They saw a gigantic Piranha Plant lying on his side, snoring loudly, clearly asleep. Luigi and Waluigi stared at the creature with wide eyes.
"Isn't that Petey Piranha?" Luigi asked, pointing at the giant creature.
Waluigi simply nodded. "What would he be doing out here?"
Luigi shrugged. "I don't know, but if he came here, he should be able to know the way out." He suggested.
"I'll wake him up." Goombaria said as she approached the giant creature.
"Be careful, Goombaria." Luigi said. "Because if you wake him up wrong-"
"Wakey, wakey, wakey!" Goombaria said, jumping on Petey Piranha's giant stomach. Petey shot into a sitting position and roared, sending the small Goomba flying several feet back.
"-He'll get mad." Luigi finished.
Petey jumped into a standing position, showing everyone that he would clearly be at least a foot taller than Bowser. He roared angrily as he looked down at the cowering Goomba girl that woke him up.
"Um...Please don't hurt me...We just wanted to know if you could help us get out of here." Goombaria whimpered.
"Forget it, Goombaria." Luigi said, clearly worried about her. "Once he's mad, there's no use explaining!"
Goombaria gulped as she looked up at a severely ticked-off Petey Piranha glared at her and roared.
[BATTLE: START]
[MINI-BOSS: PETEY PIRANHA – HEALTH: 3]
Petey roared as he flapped his arms repeatedly. Somehow, he was doing it fast enough to lift himself off the ground. Goombaria watched as the giant creature lifted himself high above her head and flew directly overtop of her. Goombaria's eyes sprang open, realizing what Petey was about to do. She dove to the side as Petey came crashing down, creating a small shockwave that the young Goomba girl had to jump over to avoid.
Goombaria didn't have any time to recover, as Petey had again took to the air. Goombaria ran to safety as Petey hit the ground, again creating a shockwave. This time, Goombaria was far enough away that the shockwave didn't reach her.
"He's not going to give me an easy time." Goombaria thought to herself. "Come on, Goombaria! Think! How did Mario defeat this guy before?"
The young Goomba was brought out of her thoughts when she saw Petey take to the air again. Goombaria dodged to the side to avoid the giant coming down to hit the ground.
Goombaria expected Petey to jump into the air again, but saw that her opponent was rearing back. Goombaria wondered what he was thinking of doing, but kept her distance to be safe.
Petey thrust his head forward and opened his mouth. Goombaria suddenly felt herself being pulled along the ground towards Petey's mouth. Goombaria eyes sprang open as she turned around and ran away from Petey, going slow even though she was running as fast as she could.
"I need to find something that'll stop him from pulling me in!" Goombaria thought as she frantically looked around.
Suddenly, she spotted something sitting to the side: A round, thorny weed resting on the ground. As quick as she could Goombaria rushed over to the weed and ran behind it.
Pulling her foot back, Goombaria gave the weed a good kick, sending it straight into the vacuum pat leading to Petey's mouth. The weed went straight into Petey's mouth, making him accidentally swallow it.
Petey suddenly felt woozy after swallowing the weed. Spinning around a few times, he collapsed on his back.
Goombaria's eyes suddenly sprang open, as she quickly remembered how Mario defeated Petey in the past. Charging towards the collapsed monster, Goombaria leapt over his stomach, spun around, and dove headfirst into Petey's belly, making him lean forward in pain as the weed shot out of his mouth, landing nearby. [HIT]
Petey growled as he jumped to his feet, launching the small Goomba off of him. He quickly took to the air again.
Goombaria quickly ran to the side as Petey came crashing down, but she noticed that the shockwave that he created went further this time. Goombaria leapt over the shockwave as it passed under her.
Goombaria watched as Petey leapt into the air again, hovering right overtop of her. The small girl ran away as the giant creature hit the ground. Again, the shockwave was big enough for Goombaria to jump over.
The small Goomba frantically looked around for the weed again, as it was her only ticket for defeating Petey Piranha. She spotted it resting against a nearby tree. In the meantime, Petey had taken to the air again, and was about to come down. Goombaria quickly saw this and dodged, quickly jumping at the same time. Petey crashed onto the ground and the shockwave went straight underneath the airborne Goombaria.
As Goombaria landed on the ground, Petey started inhaling again. Goombaria ran her fastest to avoid being pulled into Petey's mouth. However, she found herself having an even harder time escaping the vacuum that was Petey's mouth. It seemed that the force was slightly more powerful than the first time around.
It took a little longer, but Goombaria managed to reach the weed that was sitting to the side. Running behind it, Goombaria pulled her foot back, spun it a few times and kicked the weed with all her might.
The weed flew straight into the vacuum path leading into Petey's mouth, and the giant creature didn't have enough time to stop inhaling. The weed went straight into his mouth and went down his throat. If Petey had any eyes, they'd be as wide as plates. Choking, Petey collapsed on his back again.
Goombaria too the chance and ran at the collapsed creature again, jumping into the air until she was over Petey's stomach. Spinning around, Goombaria plunged her head into the giant Piranha Plant's stomach, again damaging Petey. Like before, the weed shot from Petey's mouth, landing on the other side of the 'arena'. [HIT]
Again, Petey shot to his feet, launching Goombaria towards a bush. Goombaria jumped to her feet to watch Petey take to the air. Goombaria ran to the side, expecting Petey to come down fast. Instead, before coming down, Petey spun in midair. Slamming into the ground, an incredibly fast shockwave shot in all directions, and showed no sign of slowing down. Goombaira quickly leapt over the shockwave as it went all the way to the edge of the arena before finally fading.
While in midair, Goombaria quickly saw a second shockwave shooting at her. In order to avoid getting struck by it, Goombaria pulled off a desperate flutter jump, kicking the air like a Yoshi to gain more air. The jump was a success as the shockwave went underneath her and faded at the edge of the arena like the first one did.
As Goombaria landed on the ground, she saw Petey flapping his arms again, lifting himself off the ground. Goombaria dodged to the side as Petey hit the ground, again sending two large and fast shockwaves at her. Goombaria leapt off the ground and did another flutter jump to avoid both shockwaves.
Suddenly, Petey reared back, getting ready for another inhale. Goombaria knew that this would be the most powerful vacuum and decided to race towards the weed while she had the chance.
Petey aimed at Goombaria and opened his mouth. Goombaria was right about this being the most powerful vacuum, as she could get almost nowhere running against the pull of it. Luckily, she was close enough to the weed that she didn't need to run very far anyway.
As quick as she could, Goombaria raced around the weed and lined it up with Petey. Pulling her foot back, the small girl prepared to give the weed the most powerful kick she could dish out.
Punting the weed with all of her might, Goombaria sent it flying right into Petey's path. For the third time, the weed went into Petey's mouth and went down his throat. Trying to regain his breath, Petey collapsed on his back, choking.
Goombaria smirked, knowing that she had her opponent beat. Leaping over Petey's stomach, Goombaria performed her Headbonk again, planting herself into the giant creature's giant gut. Petey cough up the weed again as it bounced off a couple trees. [HIT]
Feeling a searing pain flowing through his stomach, Petey collapsed for good.
After jumping up and down twice, Goombaria spun around on her right foot with a wide smile on her face. "I can understand how Mario had such a hard time beating this guy." She said.
[END BATTLE. GOOMBARIA WINS]
(Forever Forest)
Everyone stared at Goombaria with wide eyes as she stood over Petey Piranha's defeated body. They were impressed at how Goombaria trounced the giant thing without a scratch.
Seeing the stares, Goombaria raised an eyebrow. "What is it?" She asked.
"We're just amazed at how you defeated him." Luigi explaied.
"How'd you do that flutter jump, anyway?" Waluigi asked, his own eyebrow raised.
"Yeah. I didn't even know Goombas could do that." Fice T explained, scratching his chin.
Goombaria tilted her head quickly, indicating a shrug. "Neither did I." She replied. "But I had to try SOMETHING to get away from those shockwaves."
Everyone suddenly heard a loud groan coming from behind Goombaria. Everyone looked to see Petey slowly getting to his feet.
Once Petey was on his feet, he found himself staring down at Goombaria, the one who defeated him. Petey instantly screamed and started flapping his arms, lifting himself off the ground. Everyone thought that he was getting ready for another shockwave, but they quickly noticed that he was actually flying away this time.
"Quick! Follow him!" Sonar said, jumping and pointing. "He'll lead us out of here!"
"Follow that flab!" Fice T shouted.
No one argued and took off back into the forest, trying to make sure that none of them lost sight of Petey.
The team found themselves racing through the forest, avoiding fights with Fuzzies or normal Piranha Plants. Petey was still flying overhead. Everyone was amazed at how quick they were getting through the forest, as they thought that they would take longer for sure. No one minded this, especially since Daisy was at stake.
Soon, the team found themselves coming out into the light, exiting the forest. They instantly recognized the scenery as that of Toad Town. Petey kept on flying away until he was out of sight.
Fice T quickly dropped to his knees and started kissing the ground, saying something about never going in there again. The rest of the team picked him up.
"We have to get to Daisy before these villains do!" Luigi said. "Come on! To Sarasaland!"
"Not so fast, Luigi." Melody said. "How do you know that Daisy is still in Sarasaland? Maybe she's somewhere in the Mushroom Kingdom, doing her shopping."
"She has a point." Sonar added. "I've heard that Sarasaland doesn't have that big of a selection for stores."
"You guys got me there." Luigi replied. "Okay. We'll ask around and see if anyone's seen her."
The team walked into Toad Town, and looked around for someone that might've seen Daisy.
"Which store does she usually go to?" Melody asked.
"It's usually Harry's." Luigi replied, rubbing his chin.
Everyone quickly rushed over to the nearest store, which was indeed Harry's Item Shop. Luigi pushed open the door as everyone ran inside.
The mushroom man noticed everyone come in, and smirked. "Well, well, well. It seems like people are in a real hurry to buy my merchandise." Harry thought out loud.
"Harry, we need to know if Daisy came in here at all today." Luigi said, almost short of breath.
Harry's smirk vanished. "Uh...I believe she came in not too long ago and bought some mushrooms. Perhaps you'd like some?"
"Sorry, Harry." Goombaria replied. "This is an emergency."
Everyone quickly left the store, leaving a confused Harry behind. Outside, everyone thought of where Daisy would go after shopping at Harry's.
"Where does she usually go after the store?" Sonar asked.
"The Badge Shop!" Luigi replied. He knew this because he had accompanied Daisy on several of her shopping sprees. "Come on!"
Everyone quickly ran north, towards the main area of Toad Town, hoping to find Daisy before she finished shopping.
Reaching the main area, they expected to either see Daisy shopping or coming out of the Badge Shop. But what they saw instead was a scene that they all had feared:
Iggy Koopa, one of Bowser's kids, was cornering Daisy, accompanied by two normal Troopas. Iggy's two henchmen were holding onto Daisy's arms to prevent her from running off. The mushroom citizens were too scared to interfere, and all of the parents were holding onto their kids tightly.
Luigi mentally kicked himself. They were too late! He had to think of some way to attract attention so Daisy could run to safety. Telling everyone else to stay behind, Luigi quickly approached the scene.
"Three Koopas against one woman?" Luigi asked out loud, getting the attention of Daisy, Iggy and the two Troopas. "Not exactly a fair fight, unless that woman happens to be Samus Aran, in which case you're history."
"Oh yeah? C'mon!" The two Troopas taunted as they let go of Daisy, approached Luigi and put their fists up.
Daisy wisely took this opportunity to make a run for it. Unfortunately, Iggy saw her run off to the west side of Toad Town.
Iggy furiously looked at his henchmen and pointed in the direction Daisy ran. "You buffoons! Don't just stand there! AFTER HER!" He shouted. The two Troopas quickly complied chasing after the fleeing princess.
Luigi started running after the two Troopas, but was cut off when something shot beside him, striking a tree, creating a small explosion.
"Where do you think YOU'RE going, plunger-face?" Iggy asked with a smirk. His scepter, which had fired the shot, had smoke rising from it.
"I was...Uh...Just going to see if the store had any more Shroom Cake." Luigi replied. "Hey, do you want some?"
Iggy didn't answer. He simply fired another shot from his scepter, engulfing both he and Luigi in a bright light.
(Nth Dimension)
When Luigi could finally see again, he saw that he was no longer in Toad Town. Instead, he was standing in a void that fit the description that the others said given. This was the Nth Dimension.
Luigi quickly looked around, noticing that he was standing on a huge, flat, circular platform. Looking up, Luigi saw several platforms floating in midair, all at different heights. Iggy was standing in the dead center of the platform, smirking.
"Ready for the fight of your life, buddy?" Iggy asked, pulling a beaker of formula from behind his back.
Iggy placed the beaker to his mouth and downed a mouthful, making sure that he didn't drink too much. Once he swallowed, Iggy quickly placed the beaker back where he got it.
The young Koopa Kid laughed insanely as he suddenly started growing. Luigi watched in shock as Iggy kept on growing, his laugh becoming deeper with every several feet he grew. When Iggy finally stopped growing, he was at least a hundred feet tall.
Iggy looked down at Luigi and smirked evilly. "Intimidated yet, little man?" Iggy asked in a deep, DEEP voice.
Luigi shook his head. "Are you kidding? I'm a Mario Bro.! Let's do this!"
[BATTLE: START]
[BOSS: IGGY KOOPA – HEALTH: 3]
Iggy reared back and spat a huge ball of fire at Luigi. Luigi ran to the side, avoiding the ball of flames. Luigi didn't have time to rest though, as Iggy quickly fired another fireball at him. Luigi kept running as Iggy fired yet another fireball. Luigi quickly realized that Iggy was going to keep throwing fireballs until something else happened.
Luigi knew that the only way he could attack the giant Iggy was to attack the head, but he had no way of reaching him. All of the platforms were too high for even Waluigi to jump to. Luigi decided to keep avoiding Iggy's fireballs until he did something different.
Iggy suddenly stopped launching fireballs and stayed still for a second. Luigi was wondering what the giant kid was doing, but soon found out, as Iggy pulled his right hand back, getting ready for a slap. Luigi eyes sprang open as he dove to the side, allowing Iggy's palm to strike the concrete platform.
A thought suddenly came to Luigi's head. Deciding to try it out, Luigi jumped on Iggy's fingers, somehow making him spring high into the air. Grabbing the opportunity, Luigi steered himself towards the nearest platform, landing on it. Iggy quickly pulled his giant hand from the ground.
Luigi saw Iggy rearing back again, preparing for another wave of fireballs. As soon as Iggy fired his first fall of flames, Luigi jumped to the next platform. However, as it turned out, Iggy was aiming for the platform rather than Luigi. As soon as the fireball struck the platform, it was instantly set ablaze, rendering it off-limits for Luigi. The green-clad plumber realized that he had to keep moving if he wanted to reach Iggy's head.
Luigi quickly saw that every time he jumped to a different platform, Iggy was setting the one he was just at on fire. Luigi kept pressing on, jumping higher and higher with every platform, determined to defeat Iggy and save Daisy. He could only hope that some of the team rushed after those two Troopas that went after Daisy.
Soon, Luigi was on one of the top platforms, at the same level as Iggy's giant head. He quickly realized that Iggy wasn't setting this platform on fire. It was probably too high up for him to reach. The only problem was that the gap between the platform and Iggy's head was too far for Luigi to jump. Luigi had to think of some way to reach Iggy's head.
An idea suddenly came to Luigi's head. It was perfect!
Luigi crouched low, his body pulsating with strange energy. Iggy raised an eyebrow, wondering what Luigi was doing.
"GREEN MISSILE!" Luigi shouted as an explosion erupted under his feet, rocketing the green-clad plumber headfirst into Iggy's forehead. Iggy screamed in pain. [HIT]
"Where'd he learn THAT one?" Iggy thought aloud.
When Luigi finished the Green Missile, he knew that he couldn't reach the platforms anymore, and let himself fall back to the ground. He quickly noticed that all of the platforms Iggy had set on fire were now out.
Luigi saw that Iggy was about to start another fireball frenzy so he started running, expecting this wave to be faster and more powerful.
He was right. Not only were the fireballs coming at Luigi faster than before, but Iggy was firing them faster as well. Luigi quickly saw that every fireball was setting a larger area on fire than the first wave. Luigi waited impatiently for Iggy so do another Slap Down attack.
Iggy fired fireball after fireball, and was getting frustrated that none of them were hitting Luigi. He was so mad that he felt like hitting something. Without thinking, Iggy pulled his giant hand back, preparing to slam it down on Luigi's puny head.
Luigi smirked when he saw this. Running to the side, he allowed Iggy's palm to strike the concrete he was standing on. The attack took a good amount of energy from the Koopa Kid, reducing him to breathing heavily to try and get some energy back.
In the meantime, Luigi leapt into the air and jumped on Iggy's huge fingers, springing him upwards. The heroic plumber steered himself towards the nearest platform and landed on it.
Iggy saw Luigi standing on one of the platforms and started to panic, as he knew that Luigi knew how to defeat him. He quickly pulled his hand from the ground and reared back to start spitting fireballs again.
Luigi saw the first fireball coming at him and quickly jumped up to the next platform. The ball of flames struck the platform Luigi was just on, igniting it instantly. Luigi kept on jumping higher, managing to avoid all of the fireballs like he had done with the last round. He quickly realized that this time the fireballs were slightly closer to hitting him every time he jumped to the next platform.
Even though there were several close calls, Luigi made it to the top after jumping to at least ten platforms. Luigi perched himself on the platform as Iggy stopped spitting fireballs. Luigi crouched low as the strange electric energy pulsated all around him.
"GREEN MISSLE!" Luigi shouted as he rocketed straight at Iggy, striking him again in the forehead. [HIT]
"Gah!" Iggy shouted in pain as he recoiled slightly. "Oh, boy! You're in for it now, greenie!"
Luigi again let himself fall to the ground, landing on his feet. Looking up at the giant Koopa Kid, Luigi saw that Iggy was about to start fireball wave number three. Luigi predicted that this fireball wave would be the fastest and most powerful, so he turned and started running.
As it turned out, Luigi was right. Iggy spat fireballs faster than ever before, making them go faster than wave number two. Whenever they struck the ground, the fireballs set an even bigger area on fire. Luigi was so close that he could feel the heat of the flames every time a fireball struck the ground.
Luigi sweated as he continued running from Iggy's fireballs. He could only hope that Iggy would do the slap soon.
Luckily, his wish was granted. As soon as Iggy stopped spitting fireballs, he pulled his hand back to attempt another slap.
Luigi sighed in relief as soon as he saw Iggy pulling his hand back. Running to the side, Luigi avoided the giant hand as it struck the ground. As Iggy paused to try and regain his energy, Luigi jumped on his fingers, which launched him high into the air. Luigi again steered himself to land on the nearest platform.
Iggy started to freak out when he saw Luigi on the platform. He didn't have much energy left and Luigi knew how to beat him. He furiously spat more fireballs in an attempt to knock Luigi off the platforms.
Luigi saw that Iggy was determined to defeat him, as the fireballs were even closer to touching him this time. Every time Luigi jumped to another platform, he barely escaped being engulfed in flames.
The green hero was quickly relieved when he found himself at the top platform. He had made it, but barely. Crouching low, he prepared for the finishing blow.
"GREEN MISSLE!"
Luigi rocketed off the platform and planted himself in Iggy's forehead for the third and final time. [HIT]
"No..." Iggy moaned as he started shrinking back to his normal size. "...I was so...Close..."
Luigi folded his arms and looked down at the fallen Koopa Kid, who was now back to his normal size. "You Koopa Kids just don't know when to call it quits, huh?" He asked.
Before Luigi had time to do anything else, a white light blinded him.
[END BATTLE. LUIGI WINS.]
(Mushroom Kingdom)
When the light cleared, Luigi saw that he was back in Toad Town, Iggy's collapsed figure laying at his feet. He saw that all of the villagers were still there, as was Goombaria and Sonar. Fice T, Melody and Waluigi were not there. Luigi knew that they had gone after the Troopas in an attempt to save Daisy.
Luigi quickly grabbed Iggy's barely-conscious figure and hauled him to his feet.
Luigi pointed at Iggy and narrowed his eyes. "You know, Iggy? I don't really have anything against you tuning into a giant. I just think you should do it somewhere more appropriate. Say...Giant Land?"
Sticking two fingers up Iggy's nostrils, Luigi gave a mighty throw, sending the Koopa Kid flying far, far away. Screaming, Iggy sailed over a distant mountain and fell into a Warp Pipe on the other side.
"LUIGI! HELP!"
Luigi eyes widened, instantly recognizing the voice that came out of nowhere. Spinning in the direction of the voice, he saw two evil Paratroopas flying away, carrying a tied-up Daisy. The brunette princess screamed desperately out to him.
"DAISY!" Luigi screamed. Unfortunately, he knew that there was nothing he could do. Poor Daisy the already too far away.
He quickly saw Fice T, Melody and Waluigi walking over to him, clutching his or her head.
"What the heck happened?" Luigi asked desperately.
"You remember that white orb that Bandit had?" Waluigi quizzed.
Luigi's face fell even further. "Don't tell me they had one too." He said.
"They had one too." Melody explained.
"I asked you not to tell me that." Luigi sighed.
