And Now…
Chapter Five-Laying a Hero to Rest
Don didn't want to wake up and face the harsh realities of the day. It was May 8th, his father's funeral. The past week seemed like such a dark nightmare. Toadsworth entered the young king's room.
"Master Don…the funeral. The time draws near…" the old Toad said. Don nodded his head and took a deep breath.
"Curse the stars," he muttered to himself. He knew the entire kingdom after Mario was buried would demand retribution for the loss of their hero. He wanted revenge too, but he wouldn't dare put any more Toad lives at stake.
The funeral itself lasted four hours. The number of lives Mario had touched were more numerous than grains on a sandy beach . Goombario, Lakilester, and a horde of Yoshis came to pay tribute.

As he expected, only a day had passed before Don was bombarded with questions of whether the Mushroom Kingdom would engage Bowser's forces. Don's reply was slightly more frustrated than something Mario would have said.
"Damnit! I just buried my father! Obviously I will wage war with Bowser, or rather Demon. We have just received word that Bowser has died so we'll be fighting against a new foe. Give me a week from today and we'll fire up the battalion. But until then I want time to grieve my loss. Is that too much to ask?"

"Father what are we going to do?" Vito asked Luigi as they strolled along an encampment on the eastern border of Sarsaland.
"Until very recently, I always lived in Mario's shadow and therefore I used to wait for the Mushroom Kingdom to do anything before I struck. Don needs time to mentally prepare himself to put his country into war," Luigi replied, "I don't want to strike before Don's ready unless Demon forces us."
A dark cloud hung over the Mushroom Kingdom as Don picked up his sword and prepared for battle.
Until Next Time…
