Mario's ready to get his brother back at any cost. Will he succeed?
The chapter's going to show What Mario's doing along with what Bowser and Luigi are doing.
Luigi felt his head pounding as he regained consciousness. He reached to rub it only to find his arms wouldn't move. His eyes snapped open when he looked up to see his wrists were chained above his head. He tugged at them and struggled to break free, but to no avail. Luigi tried to move his legs only to see his ankles were chained too. He tried calling out to see if anyone was there, only to find his mouth was covered with tape. Frustrated, the youngest Mario bro leaned again the wall, hanging his head in defeat.
"How'd I get here?" Luigi wondered. He raised his head up slightly to take a better look at his surroundings. His eyes scanned every corner of the room — bars, cement floors, and walls, gloomy atmosphere; yep, he was in a dungeon.
"Have a nice nap?"
Luigi nearly jumped out of his skin. His eyes widen when he saw who was behind the bars: Bowser. Opening the door, the Koopa king strode over to the trapped plumber his intense glare almost made Luigi faint, but the green plumber stood strong.
"Nice to see you awake sleeping beauty," Bowser scoffed. He reached over and ripped the tape off his captive's mouth, leaving a red mark on his lips.
Luigi hissed at pain, and looked up at his captor in disgust, "Why am I not surprised that you're behind this Bowser?" He snapped, "What do you want with me?"
"Simple, revenge," Bowser sneered.
"Revenge for what, kicking your scaly-tailed butt almost every week?" Luigi asked in a snarky tone.
"Cute," Bowser commented and grabbed the chains to Luigi's shackles and raised him up to his eye level, ignoring his prisoner wincing in pain "But I wasn't talking about you Greenie, I meant your FAT, bride stealing brother!"
Luigi's eyes widen a bit at that statement, "Mario?"
"No, the other one," Bowser said sarcastically, "Who else!"
Exiting the warp pipe Mario glared up at Bowser's castle in hate. Bowser had done many cruel deeds to the hero, but taking his family was the lowest. The red-capped plumber rushed towards the entrance and with all his strength, he busted the doors down, alerting the guards in the process. That wasn't going to stop Mario though. He endured worse in his life and nobody was going to keep him from saving his brother.
Luigi scowled at Bowser, "So I take it you heard about Mario and Peach's wedding."
"Oh, I heard alright green-stache!" Bowser snapped letting go of Luigi's chains dropping him. Luigi stifled his cry in pain, as the shackles cut into his wrists, "As if ruining my plans weren't bad enough, he goes and steals both my kingdom and my girl!"
"Peach and her kingdom were never yours!" Luigi snapped.
"I beg to differ," Bowser shot back, "Since the day I was born, I was always destined to conquer the Mushroom Kingdom and eventually the world. All I needed to complete my empire is a queen; Princess Peach Toadstool." Bowser felt his fist clench in anger as he continued, "But that good for nothing twin of yours took her away from me!"
"Oh, poor widdle Bowser didn't get what he wanted, boo hoo" Luigi faked sympathized as he rolled his eyes, "But what does this have to do with me?"
"Everything!" Bowser laughed and tipped Luigi's chin up, "Mario took something from me so I'm returning the favor."
"What!?" Luigi gasped.
After dispatching the minions, Mario headed straight for the throne room. If he had to guess, that's where Bowser was waiting for him with Luigi. Mario swore if his archenemy laid one hand on his younger twin, there would be hell to pay. As he ran closer to the throne room, he saw a familiar figure standing outside the entrance; it was Kamek!
"Well, well, what do we have here?" the magikoopa sneered, "A scurrying little rat? I should have known you'd show Mario."
Mario growl and pulled out his hammer, "Let me pass Kamek! I don't have time for you!"
"So sorry, but I can't let you do that," Kamek scoffed, "You've wasted your time coming here, and overstayed your welcome. Leave now or I'll give you the boot."
"I'll give you the boot if you don't get out of my way!" Mario snapped.
Kamek laughed at hero's demands, "Such rude behavior for a King," He mocked and pulled out his wand and jumped on his broomstick, "Looks like I'm going to have to teach you some manners."
"That's right." Bowser said, smiling malevolently, "He took my bride, so I'm taking his brother. It's only fair after all."
Luigi bit his lip a bit anxiously, now it made sense; the best way to hurt someone back is through his or her loved ones. Yet he knew he couldn't be afraid, not now, "Well sorry to burst your bubble Koopa-Stoopa, but I won't be staying long." Luigi said smugly "Knowing my brother, he's probably on his way right now."
"Given how I alerted him, there's no doubt," Bowser replied, "Except there's one teeny, tiny problem."
"What's that?"
"He won't find you," Bowser laughed.
"And why not?" Luigi asked.
True to his word, Mario booted Kamek in the face sending the villain straight into the wall. The hero wiped his brow, exhausted from the fight, but there was no time to rest, Luigi needed him. Mario ran towards the entrance and pushed the doors open, expecting to see Bowser waiting for him with Luigi. To his shock, however, nobody was in there.
"What?" Mario rushed into the room and looked around, expecting the Koopa King to spring out at any moment, to taunt him, fight him, or at least trap him. Yet no one was there. "This has to be a trick!" Mario thought to himself, then he shouted, "I know you're in here Bowser! Come out right now with my brother and I won't start ripping this place piece by piece!"
"You poor, foolish child." Mario turned around quickly to see Kamek leaning against the doorway, breathing heavily, and grinning cruelly at him, "I told you earlier, you wasted your time coming here." The villain pointed at the throne before passing out. Mario cautiously walked up to the chair to see a folded piece of paper laying on the cushion. When he unfolded it, nearly dropped it out of shock. The written text nearly made him pass out.
Sorry Mario, but your brother is in another castle!
Sorry Folks, Luigi's in another castle. And It's going to be awhile before Mario can find him.
