Chapter 2: Revenge?

Mario's House:

Luigi walked in holding the mail. "Bill, bill, bill, instant millionaire giveaway, instant millionaire giveaway (continues for about a minute), bill, taxes, ooh, what's this?" he pondered to himself. "Hey Mario, Queen Bean invited us to a reunion over in Beanbean. They're having it at Cackletta's old hideout, just to rub it in her face."

"Wow, that's cruel," said Mario, "Granted, funny. Wait. She had a hideout?"

"Yeah, I know. By the way, it's tomorrow," said Luigi.

The Next Day:

As Mario and Luigi approached the location outlined, Cackletta waited in the bushes. As they reached the door, she released the trapdoor. "WAWAWAWAWA!" Mario and Luigi could be heard falling.

Once down in the hole, Luigi was quick to notice a ladder leading out of the pit. Unfortunately, he also noticed that the trapdoor above it was closed. As Cackletta stood above, she entered phase 2. She turned the tap on, slowly filling the pit with water. Fortunately, Luigi was quick to plug the faucet with his hammer before any water could even come out. As Luigi stood watching the tank fill to bursting, he got an idea. He unleashed the biggest thunderhand ever. Quickly, the tank exploded, unleashing a force capable of opening the trapdoor. And it did.

As the brothers climbed out of the pit, Cackletta launched into a video game villainy monologue. "Eyahaha! Out of the frying pan and into the fire for you. Instead of experiencing drowning, now you can feel the pain of being ripped limb from limb by a giant robot." She then turned around and revealed a giant metal death machine… Totally shorted out by the water.

"Oh, right," Fawful muttered, "In the heat of the sweet rapture of the mustard of your slow death, I forgot the cardinal rule, which is that water and electricity do not mix."

Quickly, Luigi jumped on Cackletta, simultaneously as Mario jumped on Fawful. Both defeated desperados (alliteration, cool) quickly crawled away.

Later, at Cackletta's hideout:

"So," said Fawful, "What have we learned today?"

"That we should just forget about Mario and Luigi," responded Cackletta, embarrased.
