"Mario, I can get you out of here and help you get revenge on your brother." the cloaked figure said.

"What's the catch?" Mario asked skeptically.

"There is none!" it said happily.

"Alright then, what do you want me to do?" Mario asked readily.

"Just find your brother and capture him. Here is a device to call me with." it said, handing a strange device to Mario. It had two glowing buttons. One was green and one was red.

"The red is to tell me you're dying, and the green is to tell me you've captured Luigi." it said. As it said Luigi, Mario narrowed his eyes.

"I can't kill him?" he asked disappointedly.

"No!" it said angrily.

"Fine…" he sighed. He took his hat off his head and turned it inside-out. His hat now had reversed colors. "Just call me Negative."

"Alright." it sighed, willing to put up with his strange requests for a little bit. "You shall first encounter Luigi at Bowser's castle, after he defeats Bowser."

"How will I get there?" Negative asked.

"I will warp you there, obviously." it said.

"Don't I deserve to find out who you are?" Negative asked.

"Under normal circumstances, yes, but for plot convenience and to irritate the readers, I can't tell you." it said while smirking.

"Wait… What do you mean?! Readers?! Plot convenience?! What the hell are you talking about?! This isn't a story!" Negative yelled.

"Oh yeah… I forgot… Um… I'll tell you, but you cannot tell Luigi! If he knows… Well, he has a new power up that would allow him to change the story! We are in a story, and are being controlled. If Luigi knows this, he could summon a legendary power up that would allow him to change the story! DO NOT TELL HIM AT ANY COST!" it said cautiously.

"Where is Mr. L?" Negative asked.

"That is another thing that must be hidden to irritate the readers and keep an air of mystery… Muahahahaha!" it said.

Negative just groaned and said, "Fine, whatever. Just take me to Bowser's castle." The figure grabbed Negative and teleported him to the castle. Negative lay there, waiting for Luigi.

Luigi was in World 8 when the same cloaked figure appeared.

"You're taking too long. Let me help you." it said deviously. It grabbed Luigi and teleported him to Bowser's castle.

There weren't many obstacles, which was strange. There was also a flag at the end. It was already pulled down. Luigi jumped on the pole and slid down nonetheless. He entered the minicastle thing.

Bowser hopped down out of nowhere. He growled. Luigi searched for a power up, but all of the power up blocks were empty. He reluctantly got out the Diamondman power up and used it. Luigi turned gigantic!

He chased Bowser and jumped on him. Bowser was defeated, but grew gigantic.

"Mama mia…" Luigi moaned. He hurried and jumped on Bowser again, then ran over and rescued Peach.

"Wh-wh-wh-where's Mario?" Peach asked.

"A strange cloaked figure kidnapped him. I'm sorry, Peach…" Luigi said as Peach started crying. "Follow me, we've got to get out of this place." Luigi said. Peach followed Luigi into the exit room.

Mario was there, but his hat was turned inside out, so the colors were reversed.

"Mario!" Peach yelled happily. Luigi stuck his arm out in front of her before she ran to him.

"Peach, I'm not sure this is Mario…" Luigi said.

"It's not. I'm Negative." he said.

"What?" Luigi asked confusedly.

"I am Negative, the one who shall defeat the chosen one and destroy the world!"

"Mario, what's wrong with you? Why are you acting this way?" Peach asked.

"I am not Mario!" Negative boomed, "I am Negative!"

"Ugh, fine, whatever, but what are you doing here?" Luigi asked.

"Why, to fight you!" Negative yelled in laughter.

"What about Peach?" Luigi asked.

"What about her?" Negative replied.

"Well, she's a princess." Luigi said.

"Good idea! After I capture you, I'll capture her too! Thanks, L!"

"Don't call me that." Luigi said.

"Fine, can I capture you yet?" Negative said.

"Wha-" Luigi said, but was interrupted when a strange block formed around him. It sealed around his body and covered everything except his nose. It was clear, so Luigi could see outside. "Negative" handcuffed Peach and put the block around her too. He got out a strange device and pressed a green button.

What is going to happen to Luigi and Peach? Muahahahaha, I love leaving you on cliffhangers! Don't worry, on the week that I'm gone, I'll try and leave you a satisfying ending! ;). But yeah, so please read and review, and see you next time!
