Okay I sorta changed the story a bit in the first chapter, I just wanted to tell you, so if you didn't like how I did it, but if I made it exactly the same it would be boring. I don't wanna loose fans. Please read this chapter and review. Go ahead and flame me if you want, I'll just laugh. (BUT DON'T FLAME IF YOU LIKE IT!)

CHAPTER 2:

Luigi vs. Goomer

Luigi stepped off the boat, and on to solid ground. He breathed in the fresh air and started to smile. "No one ever said the waffle kingdom was so… nice…" He still had pretty far to go. He was in a town called Sinport. A dark and cruddy little town. Crawling with thieves. Strikingly similar to Rogueport, only it had much stronger thieves. This is where all the trash came to rot. So to speak. Luigi entered the bazaar.

"Welcome to Toad's bazaar! Is there anything you'd like to purchase?" Toad asked.

"Well… I was wondering if you had directions to the princess' castle?" Luigi asked.

"Oh, it's the giant house across the river!" Toad pointed out the window, it was hard to see passed the smog of Sinport, but Luigi could make out a huge structure.

"Thanks! I'll just swim across and…" Luigi started.

"Well, uh… we're free to leave to the West, East, and South… but the North is impossible to get to." Toad interrupted.

"Why?" Luigi asked.

"Well, you see, the mayor of the town, is a guy named Goomer. He's a really tough Goomba. No one's actually seen him in person, except his body guards. Well, he's the only one who can help you cross the river. The pollution made it poisonous. Only top ranking people have boat service. Wait that's a dumb idea… hey! Don't go see Goomer! Please!" It was too late Luigi had sprinted out of there.

Luigi searched for a while, after a couple hours he noticed a couple Koopa's dragging a Yoshi at of the tavern.

"I tought I told ya' to stay outta da' boss' pad!" The two Koopa's looked furious. They then took turns bashing him wit their shell. When they were done with him, the Yoshi had blood coming out of his nose and mouth. He had a black eye, and the other was swollen shut. "Neva come back! You hears me!" The two went back into the tavern.

"Are you all right?" Luigi asked running up to the Yoshi.

"I'm cool…" He stammered.

"Why did they do that?"

"Well… first, my name's Hawk. And for the past few months I've been wanting some changes done on my town. I discovered the secret hideout of Goomer, and I've been trying to get him to close down the factories that cause this smog and pollute our water. I'm still young and I don't have a family of my own, but it would be nice to have one in the future. At the rate this town is going, that'll never happen! Did you know he changed the name? It was originally called Star Port, because this was the original resting point for the cobalt star."

"I know! I'll help you! I need to get to the castle!"

"Really thanks mister! By the way, whats your name?" Hawk asked.

"Luigi! The mushroom kingdom's greatest hero!" Luigi said, smiling and giving Hawk a thumbs up.

"I thought that was Mario…"

"Mario's my weaker, less extraordinary, brother."

"Okay…"

One day later

The team barged through the tavern door. The place was empty except for a sleeping bartender. "Over here." Hawk whispered, pointing at a rug in the corner. Hawk picked it up, under it was a secret door. Luigi opened it. Inside was a flight of stairs. The duo walked down to the basement. Inside was a lot of rum, a couch, and a television.

"You again?" A voice spoke. Luigi turned around to see a Goomba, he wore a spiked helmet and had a pair of wings.

"You didn't tell me he was a Spiny Parragoomba!" Luigi exclaimed.

"Oh sorry, yeah, he is." Hawk replied.

"WAHHHHHHHH! I can't attack him. I'll get hurt jumping, and I can't hit him with my hammer if he's airborn!" Luigi screamed. He then began running around in circles screaming. Eventually he ran into a rum barrel, knocking himself out.

"Jeez… that… was pitiful…" Hawk said.

"Well, anyway. You're very lucky Hawk." Goomer said.

"Why?"

"You get to see what I'm made of, heh. You see, my guards are off for the day. So I'm gonna kick your butt!" Goomer announced.

"Today's different Goomer! I brought a weapon!" Hawk said, pulling out a whistle. Goomer laughed. "You underestimate me! This is the whistle of the Yoshi's! Every Yoshi has one. When you blow on it, it is a Yoshi's duty to respond to the distress, and come to the aid of his comrade!"

"Bull!" Goomer said.

"I warned you." Hawk blew on it. The ground started to shake, suddenly Yoshi's streamed down the steps and attacked Goomer, hundreds of them, each running up and down the steps. Soon the room was now back to Hawk, Luigi and Goomer. But now Goomer had lost his wings.

"I did it! Now all I gotta do is gobble'im up!" Hawk said.

"You mean, I did it! Luigi, legendary hero, of the Mushroom Kingdom! Don't thank me." Luigi stepped in.

"But I…" Hawk started but stopped when he saw Luigi charge.

"Rahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Luigi cried. Smashing the hammer on Goomer's head, the attack was so powerful, that the helmet broke into pieces.

"Wow, you… are strong! GO LUIGI!" Hawk cried.

"Ugh… I'm not…finished." Goomer pulled out a potion and drank it. His body shook. Goomer started to expand, until he was ten feet tall.

"Whoa…" Hawk said.

"Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Luigi screamed, running around in circles flailing his hammer about. He accidentally let go of the hammer. It flew through the air and it the chandelier hanging from the ceiling. It smashed down on top of Goomer knocking him out. "I did it! I'm so great!"

"Thanks for saving the town! Come back again, please…" Hawk said as Luigi sailed away in the boat toward the castle.

"I'll make sure I do! Good bye!" Luigi said.

"Wait! Take this!" Hawk tossed Luigi a strange pendant. It was silver and was carved to look like a hammer. "That's a badge! That one will power you up, turning your hammer smash, into a power smash!"

"Thank you!" Luigi said. It would definitely help him in battle. Luigi was starting to fear that this wouldn't be so easy…

I put that side story in there because I don't want to rush this fic like I did my last one. Please review!
