Sixth chapter has arrived!

I do not own Mario, or the Koopalings, or Bowser, or Peach, or Waluigi, or Luigi, or Wario, or Toad, or Yoshi, or Yaridovich, or—

Well, you get it.

(Suspenseful music that was playing at the end of Chapter Five stops playing)

Fine! Your loss!

Read on…


Luigi looked at the amazing scene. Mario crashed right where he was planning to land, but a whole cloud of dust blew up just before he could figure out what had happened. Luigi's eyes strained, trying to get a closer view of the scene. The mist of dust was taking an awful lot of time to disappear. Finally, the smog lifted.

"WAH!" Luigi freaked out as he saw what had happened.

Mario was on the floor, out cold. However, he wasn't the only one that was unconscious. Another body was also on the floor, knocked out. And it wasn't Roy. It was Ludwig.

"It's the turtle with the wacky blue hair!" Luigi screeched while hopping up and down maniacally. "Where did he come from?"

"He…" Roy began, but his body was aching so much that he could hardly get the words out. "He saved my life."

Luigi shrieked, but then put on a confused face.

"Huh?" Luigi said while scratching his head. "How could he have saved you?"

"He took your idiot brother's hit for me," Roy said scratchily. His whole body was pounding with pain, but the drama of the situation had made him completely forget it.

"Yah!" Luigi squealed. "Mario! I'll get you out of here!" The plumber in green lifted Mario up (with tremendous effort) and lifted him over to their house. Roy was too exhausted/injured to go anywhere, so he lay limply on the ground with his eyes barely open. Ludwig was currently unconscious, but he would probably awaken sometime soon.

Roy's brain had no thoughts. He was lifeless in a way. Had he won or lost? It was basically a draw, but Roy was satisfied with actually making it out of there alive. His brain finally burst back into working order, and he began to recollect what had just happened.

He had engaged Mario in a deadly battle. At the very end, as Mario was about to finish him off once and for all, Ludwig came in out of nowhere and took the hit for him. The result of the attack had made Ludwig and Mario unconscious. So, he, Roy, who had received the most damage, was the only one that wasn't comatose at the moment.

Suddenly, Roy heard very loud screaming from nearby. What he heard almost made him stand up.

"You!" shouted the unmistakable voice of Luigi. "What are you doing here? How many of you are there, anyway?"

"Luigi! It is you with Mario! What are you two doing here well it IS your house but still and why is Mario hurt and full of pain I mean that is so strange what happened was there a fight and by the way—"

Roy's eyes nearly rolled out of the sockets and on the floor. He knew who that was. And his brain couldn't believe his ears.

"Get out-a!" Luigi commanded. "Can't you-a see that we have a situation, Martin?"

"It's Morton M-O-R-T-O-N named after King Morton Koopa Sr. who is my grandfather and he was a very cool person or at least I think so but what I do know is that he looked a lot like me when he was a kid!" Morton babbled all at once.

"What?" Luigi said, confounded by Morton's never-ending speech.

"Can't you see that I'm here do you know how to get out of here I mean I don't even know how I got here did I even get here where am I who am I why am I here what time is it who are you?" Morton said quickly.

"ARGH!" Luigi groaned. "Leave me alone! Go bug your two other brothers!"

"TWO OTHER BROTHERS?" Morton repeated loudly. "You mean they're here? Roy and Ludwig?" Luigi nodded. Morton continued, "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! Where are they? How did they get here? You must tell me! YOU MUST TELL ME RIGHT NOW OR ELSE I'LL POUND THE POOP OUT OF YOU though actually I won't BUT STILL TELL ME WHERE THEY ARE PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!"

"OKAY!" Luigi exploded. "They're right down the path. Just, please, PLEASE shut up!"

"All right!" Morton agreed. "I will shut up, be quiet, stop talking, say nothing, zip it, AND quit chattering!"

"Sure, now get out of here!" Luigi grunted, almost collapsing from Mario's weight. Morton nodded and ran to the tree-filled meadow. Once he saw Ludwig and Roy, he began chattering nonstop.

"Roy! Ludwig! You guys are alive! Oh my god Wendy and Lemmy are going to be so proud of me when I tell them that you guys are here—oh no I forgot!—I don't know how to get home so could you please tell me where to go and I will go, leave, depart—Ludwig, are you even listening to me?—Pay attention guys I'm talking to you please answer, respond, reply—"

"SHUT IT, MORTON!" Roy exploded; he was angered by the fact that he couldn't punch every bit of Morton he could possibly punch. "Can't you see that I'm wounded and Kooky's unconscious?"

"KOOKY-I MEAN-LUDWIG'SUNCONSCIOUS?" Morton shrieked. "That's not good, great, excellent, satisfactory, admirable or terrific!"

"DO SOMETHING, YOU IDIOT!" Roy hollered.

"Like what?" Morton said, panicking.

"I don't know!" Roy screamed bitterly. "I don't care! Just DO SOMETHING!"

"I've got it!" Morton chimed while lighting up. He walked over to Ludwig, slapped him on the face, and began shouting at him. "WAKE UP, LUDWIG! RISE AND SHINE!"

He continued slapping the sophisticated scientist until he finally snapped back to his senses.

"Huh, what?" Ludwig said faintly while recollecting what had happened. "MORTON? WHAT ARE YOU—WHY AM I—WHAT THE HECK?"

"You saved me from Mario, went unconscious, and was just woken up by Morton who came up out of nowhere!" Roy blurted out.

"Uh—ugh—" Ludwig was a struggle for words. "—Okay, I need you to explain this a little better, because I seem to have a bit of short-term memory loss."

Roy, although not in a mood to explain everything, told him all that had recently occurred. At the beginning, Ludwig was confused, but by the end, he had recovered from his loss of memory, and was back to his cool, calm and collected personality.

"Okay," he told the other two. "We must go to Luigi and ask him for the plumbing tools. He, frankly, has nothing to lose, because it will make us go away."

"But wait," Roy suddenly remembered. "How were you able to save me when you didn't know I was being attacked?"

"I followed you," Ludwig answered him simply. "Did you really think I would let you go there alone?"

Roy shook his head truthfully.

"So should we get going to collect the tools, items, appliances and apparatuses from Luigi?" Morton asked the other two.

"Yeah," Ludwig answered. "But I think Roy should stay here."

"No, it's okay, I can still walk," he told them. Then, he added, "I think."

"Well, I don't want to risk leaving you alone again, so…" Ludwig thought for a second. "Morton, carry Roy on your back."

"What?" Morton complained. "No way!"

"Yes way," Ludwig replied. "You can handle it. Or can you?"

"Yeah!" Morton responded confidently.

"All right then," Ludwig said approvingly. He grabbed Roy and dumped him on Morton's back.

"Ugh," Morton sighed.

"Let's get going!" Ludwig told the others cheerfully. They returned to the rickety home of the Mario brothers. Luigi was pacing about and Mario was napping in a bed when they arrived.

"You AGAIN!" Luigi harrumphed. "I've had enough of you! All of you! Out of my house!"

"Shut up and listen," Roy threatened while holding a bloodied fist up to Luigi's face. Luigi muttered a meek "okay".

"Look, Luigi," Ludwig explained. "We need to borrow your plumbing tools. If you give them to us, we'll leave peacefully. If you don't, we'll stay here and harass you for the rest of your life."

Luigi seemed a bit shaken (and confused) by this intimidation.

"Okay, okay! Take them!" Luigi shouted while pointing to a drawer in the corner. Ludwig went to the drawer, emptied it of its plumbing tools, and walked back to Morton and his piggyback rider.

"Ta-ta for now," Ludwig gestured as he and the others left Mario's Pad.

They made their way to the pipe, where Morton was finally able to put Roy down.

"All right, let me see what I can do. I'm not promising anything," Ludwig said truthfully.

"Do your best," Morton cheered him on.

"What he said," Roy concurred.

Ludwig pulled out the tools and worked so beautifully that Morton and Roy were left dumbfounded. Ludwig fixed the pipe in only three minutes.

"Wow!" Morton stuttered. "That was amazing, astounding, remarkable, astonishing, wonderful, incredible, marvelous and awe-inspiring!"

"Good use of adjectives," Ludwig joked. "All right, let's get out of here."

Ludwig jumped into the pipe first, followed by Morton, and finally Roy. As he looked back at Mushroom Way, he was very happy that he would, at last, get away from this horrible experience. Little did he know what was going to meet him when he returned to the castle…


And… done!

Chapter Six has been terminated.

Man, do I ever get bored of putting cliffhangers?

Maybe I should write a suspense story.

Well, seventh chapter will arrive momentarily!
