Luigi climbed the stairs & walk up the hallway, humming the Luigi's Mansion theme. He walked until he was near the end of the hall where there was a huge spiderweb collection. He then saw a huge spider leap down at him.
"YIKE!" He shouted. He shot at the spider with the beacon & then killed it. He put his hand to is chest & let out a sigh of relief. He then turned around & went to the door to his left. He touched it & broke the barrier. He then went inside. He found himself in the pantry. He switched to the Poltergust 3000 & walked into the room, humming the Luigi's Mansion theme. Just then, evil spirits assaulted him. He shined his light on them & sucked them into the Poltergust 3000. He pulled out Madame Leota & looked at her. "Hey, Leota." Luigi said. "Got a clue for this-a room?"
"You bet I do." Leota said. "When things take on an eerie glow, between 2 worlds your path must go." Luigi put Leota away, looking confused.
"2 worlds?" He asked himself. "Where's the other-a world?" He then walked through the doorless hole to be assaulted by a stone gargoyle. "EEK!" He shouted. He switched to the beacon & charged it all the way up. He then fired at the gargoyle & did a great deal of damage to it. He shot another fully charged shot at it & made it weaker. 1 final fully charged shot made it dead. He then turned around in time to see 2 gargoyles leap outta the floor. "YIPE!" Luigi shouted. He then switched to the Poltergust 3000 & shined it on the right skeleton once his shield dropped & sucked him into the Poltergust, which was not easy, as he was having 3 other bones chucked at him by the other skeleton. He managed to evade the bones & suck the skeleton into the Poltergust 3000. He then did the same to the other. He looked to another pair of doorless holes that lead to the back room, & saw something swirling under a grate on the floor. As he approached the holes, he was assaulted by an evil spirit & skeleton. He shined his light on the evil spirit first & sucked it into the Poltergust 3000. He then waited for the skeleton to drop the shield & shined his light on him. He then sucked it into the Poltergust 3000. Luigi then walked to the grate & saw the swirling purple vortex. "Looks like that leads to-a the other world." He said. He then looked up from it & saw a crooked picture on the wall. "Ahh." He said, while smiling. "That must-a open the grate." He walked over to the picture & fixed it so that it was straight. He then turned around, expecting to see the grate move, but it didn't, making him lose his smile. "Ah, man!" Luigi said, he then noticed the grate in the larger part of the room open instead. He walked over to it & shined the Poltergust 3000's light inside, while humming the Luigi's Mansion theme. Inside he saw a mumbo doll. "Hey, a mumbo-a doll." Luigi said. He leapt down & picked it up. He did the thing he did when he picked up keys in his last haunted mansion romp & stuffed it in his pocket. He climbed out of the pit & shined his light around the room, humming the Luigi's Mansion Theme. He then saw a stack of barrels near the back room entrance on the left of a fireplace. He smiled. "Hey, I can-a use those barrels." Luigi said. He walked up to the barrels & climbed up them to the top of he cabinets. He turned left & walked across the makeshift bridge the cabinets provided. While he crossed the ledge above the back room he picked up 2 fortune cards that were there. He then turned left & leapt down to another cabinet. He walked to the middle of the cabinet, picked up the fortune card there, turned right, & leapt up to another cabinet with a crooked pulsating painting on the wall. He straightened the painting & leapt to the ground below. He then looked & saw that the grate in the back room was moving. He ran over to it & stared down to see the portal. "This must-a be it." Luigi said. He jumped down into the portal & came out in a creepy otherworldly pantry. Everything was all red & there were threatening stalactites on the doorless holes everywhere. Luigi shined his flashlight around a little bit, shocked at all the red atmosphere. "Woah, this is-a the other world?" He asked.
"I think so, Luigi." Leota said. Luigi walked through the doorless holes, humming the Luigi's Mansion theme, when he encountered some large worms, exactly like the worms Luigi encountered back in the ballroom when Atticus Thorn attacked him there. "Oh no, not-a these worms again." Luigi said. He quickly switched to the beacon & started shooting at the worms while he made his way over to a table with a coffin on it. Luigi climbed onto the table, but didn't notice the coffin until he was standing on it. He looked down at the coffin & froze. "YYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!" Luigi screeched, leaping off the table onto the cabinet right behind him. He just stared at the coffin & worms. Then he saw where he was & calmly stood up. "Wow." Luigi said. "I really-a can jump." He said to himself. He picked up 2 fortune cards & looked to his right to see a crooked painting on the wall behind him. He studied the painting & scratched his chin "Hmmmmm… Maybe." He said. Luigi adjusted the painting to an upright position & a section of wall to his right opened up & a valve leapt out of the wall. It flew towards the entrance of the room & parked itself near the sealed storeroom close to the door leading outside. Luigi leapt down from the cabinet & walked over to the valve. He studied the valve, & door. He turned the handle & heard a strange creaking sound, he turned his head to the creaking sound & saw the door open up a bit. "Heeeeeeyyyyyy." Luigi said. He turned the valve & opened the door all the way, but his mouth lost the smile when he saw stalactites & stalagmites blocking the storeroom. "Crud." Luigi said. "How as I-a supposed to get to-a the switch now?" He asked himself. Then it hit him. "Of course." He said, hitting his palm with his fist. He turned the valve again to open the slowly closing door all the way. Once it had been fully opened, he charged back into the back room & dove into the portal. He leapt out to the real world pantry & charged back into the part of the room where he came in. He saw the slowly closing door & charged into it just as it was getting ready to close. He watched the doors close behind him & sighed in relief with his hand firmly on his chest. "Boy, that was-a close." Luigi said. He then heard his GBH beeping. He picked it up & answered it to see Professor E. Gadd.
"Krrrrrrrrrrrzzzzzzzzzzzt… Lu… i… gi. Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt." The professor said as the connection came in. Then he came onscreen. "Ah, Luigi!" He shouted. "Thank goodness you're alright! The connection suddenly broke for some reason, like back in the game room. What happened?"
"I just went-a to another dimension." Luigi said.
"Ooh, sounds interesting, Luigi." Gadd said. "Well, anyway, I found out some information about the beacon. It was made 1000 years ago by a group called the Brotherhood of Light to reform evil spirits. When the Order Of Shadows found out about it, they knew how much of a threat it posed to their plans for existence domination. They went after the beacon to try & use it for their own reasons. The Brotherhood sensed this & hid the beacon so the Order couldn't find it. They kept it from the Order for years, & now the beacon has ended up in your hands. You have to hold onto the beacon. Don't let Atticus get it. Be careful, Luigi." & with that, Professor E. Gadd hung up. Luigi shined the flashlight on the switch & walked up to it while humming the Luigi's Mansion theme. He pulled it down & the lights instantly came on. However, a tower of flame shot off of the ground & was then replaced by Atticus. He waved his arms & all the lights went off.
"Ah, so we meet again, Luigi." Atticus said. "Do you remember my little babies?" He asked as worms started coming from him.
"Oh boy." Luigi said nervously. He switched to the beacon & started firing at them. When he was finished with the worms, he started wailing on Atticus with the soul's beacon. "How do you like THAT, Atticus?" Luigi asked.
"Ah, Luigi." Atticus said. "You remind me so much of Ezekiel Halloway, except he wasn't quite as quick-wit as you." Which was followed by a round of fireballs from Atticus. Luigi jumped to avoid the fireballs & continued to wail on Atticus. Then Atticus was engulfed in flame & vanished.
"Huh?" Luigi asked. "Where'd he go?" He walked out of the storeroom. Then he felt flames behind him. He turned around to see Atticus appear right behind him. His eyes widened & his irises narrowed in fear as he stared up at Atticus Thorn. "Oh no." Luigi said, meekly.
"Oh yes." Atticus said. He created a fireball & attempted to torch Luigi, who dodged it. Luigi fired another round of shots at Atticus, who tried to hinder Luigi again with more of his large worms.
"I ain't about-a to let your worms halt-a my mission." Luigi said. He charged up the beacon all the way & fired at Atticus. Atticus took a lot of damage & knelt a bit. He then disappeared in a column of fire. While waiting, Luigi charged up another power shot. Soon enough, Atticus reappeared behind Luigi, & Luigi dodged another barrage of his fireballs & released the shot. Atticus disappeared once again in another flame column. Luigi once again charged up a power shot while waiting. Sure enough, Luigi saw Atticus appear behind him. He dodged Atticus fireballs & shot Attucus 1 last time. Then Atticus disappeared into the flames to leave.
"Just quit while you are ahead, Luigi." Atticus said. "This place is not worth dying for." The lights then came back on & the GBH started to beep. Luigi walked to a stack of barrels to right of the fireplace & shook the pulsating barrel, freeing 10 shriveled souls & a bravery tonic.
"Free! Free!" Said a shriveled soul as it flew away. Luigi's face hardened at this & he ran after them. He snagged 4 in the beacon & sucked them in. He got 2 nearby & caught them in the beacon. He found 2 more & managed to chase them down before finally catching them. He caught another nearby shriveled soul & went to find the last shriveled soul. He was in the middle of the room when it was caught. Luigi then looked to a pulsating barrel in the left corner of a high up shelf on the opposite side of he room from the fireplace. He walked to the shelf & climbed up to it while whistling the Luigi's Mansion Theme. He walked up to the barrel & shook it, causing another 10 to spill out of the barrel & scatter.
"Run away!" 1 of them shouted.
"Oh no-a you don't!" Luigi shouted. He leapt off the shelf & ran after 3 spirits. He caught the 3 shriveled souls & sucked them into the beacon. He looked to his left & saw 4 shriveled souls headed for the storeroom with the now closed off portal. He ran at them & sucked them into the beacon. He then walked to the door he used to enter the pantry & saw 3 shriveled souls in the room with the light switch. He ran up to them & trapped them all in the beacon. "Ha ha!" Luigi said in victory. He swung the beacon around & threw it into his back. Then he jumped, spun in mid-air, & did the pose he usually did when beating a boss in Luigi's Mansion while the music that played when he did that… well… played. Luigi approached the front door, whistling the Luigi's Mansion theme. When he left the storeroom though, he heard a voice.
"Ah, yes, master Luigi." it said. Luigi looked towards the source & saw a transparent suit of armour with its head tucked under its arm, & a long red cape materialize before his eyes. "How nice to see you again. Though I can't really say I have seen you before." Luigi stared at him.
"Ummm, right." Luigi said. "I believe that this is-a yours." He said, holding up the ghost's death certificate. The ghost eyed it.
"Ah, my death certificate." He said. "Now there really wasn't any need for you to go through all the trouble. I may have lost my head, but I have not lost my mind?" Luigi just stared blankly.
"Oh, you don't-a say." He said.
"Of course I do, Luigi." The Headless Knight said. "It was a dark day for my troops. Well, enough dwelling on the past. Luigi, I hereby dub you a… umm… uuh… oh yes, a squire." Luigi jumped at this.
"Squire?" He asked. "Me?"
"Why yes, squire Luigi." The Headless Knight said. "& for your bravery in coming this far, I'd like to present you with… " The ghost trailed off as he searched himself. "Let's see." He said. "It should be on me somewhere." He then found something. "Ah, there it is." He said. He pulled out a small yellow diamond from his side. "I'd like to present you with this medal. I know it's a soul gem, so this medal is very special." He handed the gem to Luigi. "Make good use of it, Luigi." He said. "It may very well save you from peril." Luigi looked up & him & then nodded. He then spun around & did the show-the-item-to-nobody thing while the key obtaining music played in the background. He took the beacon off his back & placed the gem in the white gem's slot. Just then, multiple souls flew into the beacon.
"& with that, Luigi, you can now fire 3 beams from the beacon at once." Leota said. Luigi smiled at this.
"Hey, that sounds-a helpful." He said. Then he switched to the Poltergust 3000, & walked out the door, back into the hallway.
