Chapter 4

When Luigi and his teammates entered the haunted mansion that Bowser was residing in, they knew that they had to check every room to find him. However, sticking together as a group was the hard part. But Byleth, being a professor of the Officers Academy, had a plan. He decided to gather everyone together and talk about it. The plan was that if everyone in the group stuck together and defeated all of the guards in the mansion, then Bowser would be easily caught. And, if someone found the room that the cages residing Mario and his friends were in, Mario could be released easily. However, one would have to find the keys to the cages first. And Byleth suspected that the guard of the cages had the keys to the cages. Luigi and everyone else agreed and started to search the entire mansion together. However, mysteriously, people were disappearing.

"What's happening?" Luigi asked Byleth.

"I don't know, but my father is gone." Byleth said.

"Well… where is he?" Luigi asked.

"I have them." A voice said. And that voice was Bowser.

"Let us go!" Flayn said.

"So, it's you again, huh, little one?" Trooper asked Flayn. "I think we've met before…"

"Yeah. That's what I heard." A Goomba said. He later turned to a Magikoopa. "What about you? You heard anything about little Flayn here?" the Magikoopa nodded yes.

"Let my sister go!" Seteth said.

"And I can only guess that you are her older brother, aren't you?" Bowser asked Seteth. "Heh. You sure do look alike to the girl."

"I certainly am." Seteth replied to Bowser. "And you and these monsters of yours are horrific and threatening towards our people of Fódlan and the Church of Seiros!"

"Then if you say that about my people, sir, then I suppose we will have to lock up the archbishop, too." Trooper said.

As Archbishop Rhea heard the words of Trooper, she quickly ran outside. However, Luigi, Greil, Jeralt, and Byleth ran outside too. When they did get outside, she was nowhere to be seen.

"Where did Rhea go?" Jeralt asked.

"Beats me…" Greil responded. Suddenly, a roar that sounded like Rhea's voice was heard. Luigi was worried and wondered if everything was okay. Suddenly, Luigi saw a giant white dragon fly over Spooks Peak's haunted mansion. Wondering if it was a Ghost Dragon, Luigi shined his flashlight on it. However, the dragon did not react to the shine of the Luigis flashlight, meaning that it was not a Ghost Dragon. Luigi wondered what kind of dragon it was and why it did not react to his flashlight shine.

"Luigi, that's just The Immaculate One." Jeralt said. "That's the archbishop's true identity."

"Her… true identity?" Luigi asked as he was confused.

"Yes." Byleth said. "Unfortunately, your flashlight won't work on that dragon. And Rhea's just trying to help us into defeating Bowser and his stupid animal creatures."

"Byleth, animals are creatures." Jeralt reminded Byleth.

"Alright, stop it, both of you! This is no time to be chit-chatting!" Greil said. "We have to work together to defeat Bowser and his creatures of horror so that we can save Luigi's brother and the princess and that small mushroom thing."

"You mean Toad, Greil?" Luigi asked.

"…Whatever that thing is, Luigi." Greil said. "Anyways, Luigi, you are with my mercenaries, Byleth and Jeralt. We will just have to let Rhea work by herself."

"So, what do we have to do?" Luigi asked. And so, Byleth suddenly raised his hand, saying he knew what to do. He said that everyone as a team would have to take down the guards who kidnapped Flayn and Seteth, as they were possibly the same guards who had the keys to Mario's and his friends' cages. Then, Mario and his friends would have to be released onto the existing team to help stop Bowser. And then, the plan would have its own ways from there.

"Alright… I can handle that." Greil said. "Come on, Luigi! Let's go!"

"Let's-a go is right!" Luigi said. And everyone went back inside the mansion to take down the guards.


Back with the guards, they were keeping Seteth and Flayn held firmly tight. However, Luigi showed up in the nick of time to test out his skills against the evil people of society. Luigi said to the guards, "You there are to release Seteth and Flayn right now before you get stunned by the Flashlight of Stun!".

"The Flashlight of what?" the first guard asked himself.

"What's going on here?" Bowser asked the guards as he came along.

"Bowser, sir, I think something is definitely going on here." The second guard said. Suddenly, both of the guards were stunned. Oddly enough, the flashlight had no effect on Bowser himself. Then, the guards were killed from the stun of the flashlight after Bowser ran away.

"Great job, Luigi." Byleth said. "Whoever knew that flashlights could stun people?"

"Now let's get those keys from the dead guards and find the cages that belong to Mario, Peach, and Toad." Greil said.

"I've already found them, Greil!" Luigi said. "Now all I have to do is find out where the cages are." As Luigi went to find the cages, Byleth stepped outside.


After Byleth stepped outside, he saw more destruction going on. Rhea, as the Immaculate One, apparently set Dead Tree Lane on fire with her strong powers, and there were many, many dead bodies on the ground. Then, The Immaculate One landed near Bowser's hideout and peaked inside. She saw absolutely nothing other than Luigi unlocking the doors to his friends' and brother's cages. It appeared that he found out where the cages were!

"Oh, Luigi! Luigi! Thank you for saving us!" Mario exclaimed.

"You are most welcome, my bro." Luigi said.

"You were very brave, Luigi." Peach said to Luigi.

"Yeah!" Toad said in a yelling voice. "We should have a feast back at the Mushroom Kingdom!" Suddenly, Ike, Mist, Titania, and Soren came into the room.

"I see you've finally rescued your friends and brother, eh, Luigi?" Soren asked Luigi.

"Yes, I sure did, Soren." Luigi responded.

"Now let's just find a way to kill Bowser." Ike replied. "Come on!" And so, everyone went outside to see exactly what Bowser was doing as that was where he was.

Bowser and Trooper were trying to find ways to dispose of The Immaculate One. But however, each plan was unsuccessful. However, once Bowser and Trooper heard that Mario, Peach, and Toad were released, they were provoked inside. That was when Rhea set the house on fire and destroyed it to pieces.

"No, no, no, no, no!" Bowser said. "Aw, you nincompoops!"

"Ah, shut up, Your Majesty!" Trooper said. Everyone in Luigi's team later left Bowser to suffer form the damages of his makeshift hideout.


Back at the Mushroom Kingdom, Princess Peach was once again saved from Bowser. But this time, from Luigi. Thanking everyone for all their duties and services, Princess Peach offered everyone to stay for a feast she and Toadsworth hosting for Luigi.

"We would love to stay, Your Highness of the Mushroom Kingdom." Greil said.

"So would we, Peach. We'll stay too." Rhea said.

"Thanks, everyone! I am happy to hear that you will stay for my fantastic banquet honoring Luigi's bravery for rescuing me, Mario, and Toad." Peach said.

And so, as everyone stayed for the banquet hosted by Princess Peach, Luigi was soon hailed as the main hero. And that was the adventure of how Luigi had to face his bravery to rescue his friends and brother with a little bit of help from faculty of the Church of Seiros and the ragtag Greil Mercenaries.
