Luigi and Daisy entered the Mushroom Castle. They walked close together. It was dark, no one appeared to be around, and it was rather cold. The feeling made the hair on the back of their neck stand on end. There eyes were wide with awareness, listening for the slightest sound. They turned the corner and up the stairs to the thrown room. Each step they took creaked the most scariest creak they have ever heard. Luigi, with Daisy close behind, Opened the door and pushed it open. They looked in to see nothing but a round table. Everything had been shoved to the ends of the thrown room. Sitting at the table were King Toadstool, Mallow, Toad, Toad, Toad, Toad, Toad, Toad, and Toadette. In the center of the table was a map. Daisy stepped on a crack and the round tablers looked up.
"Luigi welcome! Sorry about the gate, it has a mind of its own." He stopped to look behind Luigi to reveal Daisy. She popped out and said Hello. "Princess Sandstool! It is nice to see you! What brings you to the Mushroom Kingdom?" The Toadstool of Kings asked.
"Well I was researching the Darkness legend of nimbus, and decided to check it out for.." Daisy stopped as Mallow ran passed them and slammed the door. He turned around and put both arms straight out on the doors.
"Luigi, Daisy, Shh" Mallow demanded, nervously. Luigi gulped. Daisy gave him sarcastic look and elbowed him. Mallow took out a rather large stick. It was his adopted fathers he had given him before the rein of smithy came to an end. The room went silent. Toad, Toad, Toad, Toad, Toad, Toad, and Toadette jumped up and huddled together shaking.
"Mal-" The king whispered. "SHH" Mallow shouted. But whatever it was heard it and jumped out of the shadows.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, trying to foil the plan that is to be huh?" The mysterious man said. He came out of the shadows to reveal himself.
"Who are, y-y-y-you! It's YOU!" Mallow screamed, Wielding staff in hand.
Croco laughed, "yes it is me. Can't get rid of me that easily!" Croco laughed. Croco, if you didn't know, was a darned-dirty theif that stole from Mallow along time ago. But if Mallow wasn't ropped, he wouldn't have met Mario thus meeting his parents.
"heh narrator, give MARIO all the credit" Luigi said sarcasticly "oh Hush you can't talk to the narrator!" the Narrator replied
Croco laughed "you can't stop it, and you KNOW it. I have cable, I've seen the brady bunch, I know what your trying to pull!" Croco pulled out a sword "and mom always said don't play hero in the dark, the dark will get you!" Mallow ran to attack when Croco stomped his staff and faded in a puff of smoke. Mallow's staff went right through the cloud of croco dust.
"Damnit" Mallow sighed. He sat down. "it is hopeless. The Darkness cannot be stopped. The world will be destroyed!"
Daisy grabbed his chair and swirled him around "LOOK, you depressed fool! I don't even know much about this legend of Nimbus but what I DO KNOW is that it can be stopped. YOU said so. All we need is to gather the friendship" Daisy's face turned red and was furious.
"I am afraid Daisy is right" a voice said from the corner. The toads, The King, Luigi, Daisy and Mallow looked to gaze in the shadow. Footsteps were heard to reveal a familiar face. A face that hasn't been seen in a long time. He wore blue robes and his face was made of wood. "it will be challenging, but we can do it, sit down everyone, I will tell you everything" he stated.
Mallow looked into his eyes "Geno, thank star road!" At this moment they all knew, the gathering has begun.
