This is the halfway point for this story. Halfway done, and only a few more chapters until another Luigi's Mansion 3 After-Tales type of story!
Everyone had just fallen asleep after a long day, everyone except Hellen. King Boo's gem had given her the powers that King Boo had himself.
Fireballs, summoning lightning, creating copies of herself, Hellen had it all. Knowing that everyone was asleep, the once owner of the Last Resort spent a while to figure out how to control these new powers.
Ha, Hellen thought, I once worshiped a giant Boo, but he's really weak without his powers. Hellen felt like a bit of a fool for doing that, and now she was going to unleash hell upon the Last Resort, and when she puts everyone in a trance again, she'll become the rightful owner again.
Hellen knew the hotel like she knew her own mind, and she knew that the next events happening was the Twisted Sisters Magic Show, Morty's Movie Time, and The Dance Party. Surely with her new powers, Hellen would absolutely ruin the events.
The once hotel owner made her way to a room on the fifth floor, making sure that no one noticed her. Hellen had a small wristband that gave her access to almost every room in the hotel, including hotel rooms, so Hellen was able to get to an empty room.
She sat at a desk in her room and brought out a piece of paper to write down a plan. A plan to guarantee that the humans in the hotel get put in paintings, the ghosts are put under a trance, and Luigi will have a painful way of going into his painting.
Hellen could just imagine it. When her plans were completed, her office will be rebuilt and Luigi's painting will hang perfectly on the wall.
It will be exactly like before...
Luigi had gotten up after his alarm went off, and this time he was up in time.
Being a good guy, the green guy had apologized to Serpci for Polterpup's behavior the day before, and he'd walk his dog from now on.
Luigi was putting on some clothes for Polterpup and his walk, and he was pretty excited. Today was filled with particular events that Luigi was excited about. A magic show, a movie and a dance party. Nikki, Lindsey and Ginny were creative with their tricks, Morty had come up with movies that he was excited to show Luigi, and Gloria has a great taste in music. Luigi was so excited!
As for the walk, thankfully, there were no squirrels this time, so Polterpup was really chill this time around, but Luigi began to wish that Serpci was walking with Polterpup today instead of the day before. If that were to happen, Luigi would have had to face the injuries.
When the dog and plumber got back to the hotel, Luigi took a quick shower and got ready for the first event of the day, Morty's Movie Time!
Luigi knew that Morty had created many good movies, but he saved the amazing ones for Luigi. He had seen a couple of Morty's movie when he got home, and Luigi thought that they were good, so he could not wait to see what an amazing Morty movie would be like!
Luigi walked down the hall to the elevator unaware that Hellen had been following him for the past few minutes. She wanted to follow Luigi so she could ruin his stay as much as she could, and when the time was right, Hellen would bring all trouble she could with her new powers, and finally capture Luigi herself!
When Luigi and Hellen left, Chambrea walked some customers to the same room that Hellen had stayed in for the night.
"Uh..." a Slinker looked at Chambrea, "There's a huge mess in here." The maid rushed to the room seeing the bed unmade, towels and a soap bar on the floor, and the room an entire mess.
"I-I." Chambrea sputtered in confusion. No one checked into that room, so why was it such a mess? Chambrea had to tell somebody, and fast. Did a burglar break in? A criminal? Anyone dangerous? Someone like that could ruin Luigi's stay in a blink of an eye.
"I'll go tell someone sir..." Chambrea rushed downstairs so she could find out what happened.
"Luigi!" Morty greeted his guest with delight. "I saved the best spot on this floor just for you!" Morty led Luigi to a giant screen with other people sitting nearby.
"Now all of my undead and alive guest, I present to you some of my masterpieces from throughout my dead years!" Morty smiled then floated over to a projector and hit the on button.
An old movie that looked like it was from the 90's started to play, and a the movie's title appeared on the screen, Guilty Or Innocent.
Morty's movie wasn't bad, and Luigi could see why Morty saved the movie just for him. So far, it was about three girls who are causing trouble in their school, and instantly Luigi knew where Morty's plot inspiration came from.
Morty felt good about himself so far, and nothing was going wrong, so things were going right! Huh, that mostly never happened.
Suddenly, the movie shut off, and the tiniest fireballs started to fly everywhere and a couple of items they hit caught on fire.
Everyone that was watching the movie, except Morty, ran out of the Paranormal Productions and to the elevator in hopes that they wouldn't get caught in the fire.
Morty stayed back and grabbed the fire extinguisher and screamed at the top of his ghostly lungs, "Run people, RUN!"
Obeying his order, everyone got into the elevator, including Hellen. She had to keep ruining Luigi's day, it was nothing personal, Hellen just wanted the worst last day of his life.
By now, everyone had got to another floor except for Luigi and Hellen. Luigi wanted to make his way to the eleventh floor for a certain magic show to clear his mind. Luigi couldn't smell smoke anymore, so that was a good sign that Morty put out the fire.
Luigi looked to his left and saw a shady woman who wore a giant jacket, a tiny shirt and these ugly sunglasses. Luigi felt a little uncomfortable being with this mystery girl, so when he got to the eleventh floor, Luigi was really relieved and ready for some magic.
Hellen was also really relieved that Luigi didn't notice her identity, mainly because she still wanted to cause trouble. It's a good thing that she could! (Well, only to Hellen at least)
Like at the Paranormal Productions, many people were sitting on chairs in front of the stage. They all wanted time to go by faster so the magic show could happen, and soon.
Suddenly, the lights went out and three spotlights appeared on the stage. Nikki, Lindsey and Ginny poofed in the spotlights with Lindsey on the left, Nikki in the middle and Ginny on the right.
"Hello everybody! Welcome to the greatest magic show you'll ever see!" Nikki raised her hands into the air. "Get ready for loads of magic and mystery!"
Luigi watched in awe as Nikki turned a white napkin into a dove, Lindsey turn into cards, and Ginny create living origami swans. The tricks were really incredible and everyone began to question reality.
Hellen liked the fireballs, and she was eager to use them again, so she shot another tiny one at a spotlight. A spotlight that hung directly above Ginny.
"The last trick of the night is none other than me and my sisters' greatest trick ever! Watch as I go over t-"
The spotlight was hit by a fireball and it lost its control, and fell right on top of Ginny!
The audience gasped in horror seeing that the youngest triplet got hit in the head with a forty pound spotlight!
"GINNY!!!" Nikki and Lindsey screamed in response to their sister getting injured. Luckily, Ginny didn't seem too bad. It looked like she would be knocked out only for a little while.
Nikki dashed over to a lever in the back of the stage and shouted, "Show's over people! Sorry!" Nikki pulled the lever and the curtains began to close slowly.
Feeling guilty about the incident, many people lined up to Ginny's hat which fell off her head when the spotlight hit her, and put tips into the lone hat.
Luigi couldn't comprehend what was happening, and how did two disasters happen in a single day?
"Don't worry girls, she'll be fine," a Hammer nurse told Lindsey and Nikki. "She just needs a few hours of rest, and then she'll be good as new!"
The two remaining triplets sulked as the Hammer floated away with Ginny on his back, and out of the room.
"That spotlight has been working for a couple months, it's new, and it just broke?!?" Lindsey began to pace back and forth trying to get to the bottom of things.
"Linds, I definitely agree with you, and we need to get to the bottom of this ASAP!" Nikki aggressively punched her fist into her hand.
"We just need to..." Nikki trailed off as she saw a familiar looking ghost sneak out of the room. As soon as she saw it, Nikki elbowed Lindsey and motioned her sister to look as well.
The sisters knew something was with this woman. Shady, sneaky, sketchy, there is something that just made the two sisters feel uncomfortable and interested. Nikki and Lindsey knew that they needed to tell someone, and soon.
Chambrea crashed into Kruller's office in the Hotel Shops, and startled the cop so bad that he almost dropped his cup of fresh coffee.
"My God Chambrea!" Kruller shouted at the maid, as he licked the hot coffee off his fingers. "What's wrong?" Kruller asked worriedly when he saw Chambrea's nervous expression.
"Can you check the cameras on the fifth floor? I think something bad happened near one of the rooms." Chambrea just wanted to see if something really was wrong, and she hoped there wasn't.
Of course everything's alright, Chambrea thought if something was wrong, something should've happened by now. Nothing's wrong.
Kruller nervously pulled up footage from the night before at room 509, wondering if there was something wrong.
The footage was normal and Kruller was about to leave the room, but then something happened that made the mall cop stop cold.
There was a boss ghost putting on a jacket that looked pretty ugly, but the ghost looked familiar. Too familiar and it gave Kruller a scare.
He spit out his coffee at the sight of a makeup obsessed woman, and gasped in horror knowing that the Last Resort was in trouble.
Hellen Gravely is out, Kruller started to hyperventilate, The hotel needs to get Luigi out.
Next time, Kruller forms a team to stop Hellen, Luigi finds out, and Hellen pulls the ultimate act that makes the hero team struggle to stop Hellen.
