WARNING! Blood, violence, TURN BACK IF YOUR NOT COMFORTABLE!

Two days had passed since his arrival to Isle Delfino, and still, no luck finding Bowser or Luigi. Mario sighed as he stared out at the sunset from his hotel room in misery. The golden orb's light reflecting off the crystal-clear waters brought little comfort to the king in red. He hoped his wife and the rest of their search team would have found them, but to his sadness, they turned up empty. His thoughts were interrupted when two officers entered his bedroom.

"Any sign of him?" He asked.

"I'm sorry my king," The officer responded dishearten.

"We searched the island left and right, from the main plaza to Corona mountain, but we couldn't find any clues leading to your brother," Another officer replied.

"I was afraid you were gonna say that," Mario muttered.

The king leaned against the window and buried his face into his hands in distraught. The officers continued to reassure him they would keep looking in case they missed something, but their promises brought little to no comfort to the distraught Mario brother. He knows they're trying to help him, but none of them know Bowser as well as he does – hearing about someone's reputation isn't the same as experiencing it, and Mario knew what Bowser was capable of.

Weegie, Mario thought miserably, Where are you?

. . .

Thump . . .Thump . . .

. . .

THUMP!

Mario gripped his chest and collapsed to his knees, startling the officers. One of them rushed to the king while the other started shouting for a doctor, fearing the king was having a heart attack.
"MY LIEGE! MY LIEGE!" The officer next to Mario cried out, desperate to get his attention.
Mario started to hyperventilate as he stared at the ground. His eyes shifted rapidly. What was this, he wondered, Where did this pain come from?!

A doctor rushed into the room with a couple of assistants, but before they could even touch the man, Mario held his hand up, stopping them. After what seemed like an eternity, Mario relaxed a bit, allowing the doctors to come close to him.

"My king, are you alright?" The doctor asked.

"I'm - I'm fine," Mario responded clutching his head in confusion.

It hurts . . .

Mario's head shot up, startling the small audience in the room. It happened again; he heard his twin's voice. As for the pain, could it be -

All that pain, the plumber thought anxiously, Was that . . . no, it couldn't be! Could it? Mario glance over at the window, feeling the tears remerging. Weegie.

Luigi breathed heavily as the pain coursed through his body. Ten minutes was all it took for his arms and legs to be reduced to a bloody mess. Bowser used a variety of knives and scalpels to slice Luigi's arms and stab his legs. By the time his nemesis was done with the torture, Luigi's limbs looked as if they were used as a scratching post. To prevent him from bleeding out, Bowser wrapped his wounds with some old towels. Luigi sighed as he looked at his restraints. How he wished he could break free from them, not that it would do him any good. He could hardly struggle through them without increasing the pain.

He was lucky that Bowser generously granted him a break so he could get something to "heal him with." Frankly, Luigi was more than willing to take advantage of the few precious moments of he had to rest. The poor plumber wished he could curl up in a ball to bring some comfort to his aching body.

"Are you up?"

Luigi glared at his foe who slunk over to him holding a thermos, "What do you want?" The plumber asked spitefully.

"Just making sure my favorite prisoner is comfortable," Bowser sneered.

"I thought Peach was your favorite prisoner," Luigi scoffed.

Slam!

Bowser slammed the thermos on the small table with the bloody tools. Luigi jumped at the loud sound as his foe glared at him, "Salty, are we?" Bowser hissed.

Luigi bit his lips and said nothing. The Koopa king moved towards his captive's arms and removed the bloody bandages revealing the semi-dried cuts on his arms, and did the same with his legs. Luigi hissed at the stinging vibration through is nerves, desperate to not to give Bowser the satisfaction in his misery.

"My, my," Bowser sneered eyeing his hostage's injuries, "I wondered what happened there?" Luigi suppressed his urge to growl. Bowser just chuckled, "We'll let's fix that.

Bowser grabbed one of the black jars on the table and opened it. A saline scent hit Luigi's nostrils. Confusion quickly turned to horror when he realized what the Koopa king had in mind.

"NO! You wouldn't!" Luigi cried.

Bowser didn't answer; only smiled viciously and opened the thermos pouring it contaminates in it; boiling water. Luigi bit his lip as Bowser saltwater around, eyeing his captive prey. The monster put the jar near the young man who flinched as the steam emerged, almost as if his kidnapper was offering him poison.

"Don't worry greenie," Bowser snickered, "This won't hurt, much." He chuckled and leaned in close the scared man, "Actually that's a lie, it'll hurt . . . A LOT!"

"NO! DON'T!"

Bowser only laughed at the plumber's plead. With one claw, he held Luigi's head down, with the other, he poured the boiling salt contaminated water on the green man's wounds. Luigi let out a piercing scream. He thrashed, wriggled, and screamed at the excruciating pain. The green hero wished his legs weren't strapped down so he could kick Bowser hard in the face for all this suffering. He felt nauseous with every passing second as the salt water seeped into his wounds. The young man suppressed his surge to cry as frustration started to build.

"Why?" he hissed, "Why are you DOING THIS?" The Plumber fought passed the pain and shot daggers at his foe, "Are you THAT pathetic?" The remark made Bowser flinch a bit. "You couldn't accept a girl didn't recuperate your feelings could you?" Bowser only stared at him blankly. Luigi pressed on, feeling his anger unhinged, "Peach doesn't love you, you freak, and she never will! You're selfish, cold, cruel, and evil! No woman could ever love an inhuman beast like you!"

Bowser's gaze remained neutral for a moment; taking in every syllable Luigi sputtered. Luigi locked eyes with the vile monster. He could feel the tears welling up in the corners, but refused to let them fall. Then, after a few seconds of silence, Bowser slashed his claw against Luigi's face.

A whimper of pain passed his lips as blood, laced with distress, flowed down his delicate cheek. From the corner of his eye, Luigi saw Bowser's emotionless expression change into something feral. Before the man in green had a chance to react, Bowser swiped his other claw on the other side of Luigi's face, followed by several more blows to his face, his stomach, and anywhere else the enraged king's punches would land on his prisoner. Poor Luigi couldn't do nothing to defend himself. He could struggle, he could scream, and he could plead, but what good would that do him?

After what felt like an eternity, the Koopa king stopped, and Luigi felt pain washing all over his body. He coughed up blood, feeling some trickle down his chin, his right eye was swollen shut, his nose was bleeding heavily, signifying it was broken, and Luigi swore any injury he had over the last few days were reopened and bruised all over again. His body trembled and twitched unbearably making it hard to breathe. The green man felt the dam break as the moisture stung the cuts on his cheeks.

Bowser felt the adrenaline slowing down as the air in his lungs started becoming heavier by the second. His piercing red eyes glued to his beaten captive, scanning over each new injury he inflicted. Feeling satisfied by the pain he inflicted Bowser turned away from Luigi and headed towards the door.

"I'll have some minions treat your injuries and give you water. Try to stay alive until then," He said cynically.

Luigi didn't have the strength to say anything. He waited until his captor left the room to turn his head to the side and sobbed. He wanted this torture to end! He wanted his big brother to come bursting through the wall, to defeat Bowser, and to take him home. He wished this was nothing more than a bad dream he would wake up from any minute. Unfortunately, it was all too real – he's a prisoner of the Koopa tyrant, his punching bag. Luigi's best hope was for Mario to come. Yet, what scared the plumber the most was he was uncertain he would be alive by then.

Poor Luigi; Bowser's crossing the line on this! Poor Mario's grown more depressed but still wants to do whaever he can to bring his baby bro home.

I Kind of wonder if Luigi and Mario have a more advenaced version of the twin connection due to their powers, which is heavily focused or something, it can let them feel and sense each other's pain, and etc. Spoilers, one or two more chapters before Mario confronts him.
