Friends help each other. They scratch your back, you scratch theirs. That's an important thing to know in life, and that's represented here. And I figured FLUDD's creator (I know who it is, but I'm not gonna directly state it) programmed him with feelings, because he can feel panic and fright. Who's to say he can't feel happiness or sadness as well.

Glad you're enjoying this!


It was around 1pm in Delfino Plaza. Mario decided to sit under a palm tree for a few minutes while Aqua started to build a sand castle. However, it didn't last even one minute, cause the Delfino Police walked up to them.

Officer #1: Hey, you two! Are you slacking off?!

Mario: No! We're just taking a short break. That's a-

Officer #2: NOPE! No breaks unless it's for mealtime, or sleeping overnight. Now get back to work!

He shocked Mario with a taser. The scene cuts to an annoyed Mario and Aqua walking towards the boathouse.

Mario: Is it too much to ask for FIVE MINUTES?!

FLUDD: Apparently, yes…

Mario: That was a rhetorical question, FLUDD. I didn't need an answer!

FLUDD: Apologies.

Aqua: So, what now?

Mario: I guess we head back to Ricco Harbor for more work to do.

The plumber and princess entered the "M" portal once again.


Ricco Harbor

Upon arrival, another one of Shadow Mario's minions appeared before the duo's eyes, smirking in anticipation.

Mario: Hey! You're not my brother!

Shadow Luigi: Well, well, well. It's-a you, Mario! I must admit, I'm quite impressed at what you and your daught-

Mario: Friend.

Shadow Luigi: Okay. -FRIEND can do. I only went easy on you in that secret course because I didn't think you had it in you. But I'll have you know, I got some tricks up my sleeve as well.

Aqua: Just who are you scary people? Why are you ruining our vacation?

Shadow Luigi: Ha! Sorry kid, but I can't tell you that. You'll have to take it up with my boss. But he ain't here, so tough luck!

Mario: Spill everything you know, right now, or else!

Mario aims FLUDD at Shadow Luigi, but he isn't fazed.

Shadow Luigi: I'm not afraid of your dumb machine, plumber! I heard what you did to my sister back in Bianco Hills. She was such a weakling! I mean, defeated by water? Wow! Just wow! I almost feel sorry for her.

FLUDD: Wait, Shadow Aqua is your sister?

Shadow Luigi: I said too much.

Shadow Luigi takes out a Shine Sprite.

Shadow Luigi: Now, if you want your precious sunshine back, come and get it!

He puts it back in his pocket and uses Luigi's powerful backflip to get up to the girders.

Mario: GET HIM!

They both jump up to the girders as well, and chase Shadow Luigi across the construction site. The orange faker uses his magic brush to draw bloopers that squirt ink in Mario's face.

Mario: Ack!

Due to a lack of room to move on the girders, Mario slipped and fell off. He felt something touch his leg, and when he wiped off the ink, he saw his dear friend Aqua, grabbing his leg with her two hands.

Mario: Phew! Thanks Aqua!

Aqua: You're welcome, Mario!

She gets him up and Mario goes back into his fighting stance.

Mario: Is that all you got, brother impersonator?!

Shadow Luigi used his brush to summon Gooper Blooper. But he lives a very short life, as his weight crushes the girders the heroes were standing on, causing them to plummet into the water.

Shadow Luigi: No, but thank you for asking.

Gooper is destroyed while Mario and Aqua swim to the land surrounding the tower.

Shadow Luigi: That was just for warm up. Now the REAL battle begins! Feast your eyes on my newest Anti-Mario weapon!

He takes out a remote control and presses a button. The ground shakes for a few moments, before a giant Luigi head-shaped robot flies out of the water, and Shadow Luigi jumps in it.

Shadow Luigi: What do you think? The Super L-flyer is a thousand times better than your silly little pump! Now get ready, for I'll make sure you never see the sunshine again!

Mario: Mamma Mia…

The Super L-Flyer begins to shoot ink out of its cannon-shaped mouth. The two heroes make a run for it.

Aqua: FLUDD! What should we do?

FLUDD: You'll need to try and counter its attacks! Spraying water won't do anything!

Running back to the arena where they had their first battle with Gooper Blooper, Mario spotted a brown leaf just sitting there. Mario smirked because he knew exactly what it was.

Mario: Wahoo!

He jumped over and grabbed it. Nothing changed with the exception of growing raccoon ears on his head, and a raccoon tail. He was Raccoon Mario. Aqua didn't know what to say when she saw it.

Aqua: Uh…

Raccoon Mario: Yeah, I know it looks kinda weird, but it's very useful! Just watch!

The Super L-flyer launched a paintball at Mario, only for him to knock it right back at it with his raccoon tail. The paintball made contact, and damaged the mech.

Aqua: Whoa!

Shadow Luigi: Oooh! A counterattack, eh? Looks like we're getting somewhere.

The Super L-flyer then made a thud to the ground, similar to a ground pound. Another shot was made in which Mario knocked back. Now Shadow Luigi was getting annoyed.

Shadow Luigi: Grr! Stupid tail! I guess I'll have to suck it outta you!

The mech then started to suck the super leaf out of Mario. He changed back to normal.

Mario: No!

Aqua: Leave it to me!

Aqua jumped to the super leaf and grabbed it before it got sucked in. She grew tanooki ears and a tail as well.

Raccoon Aqua: Take this!

Shadow Luigi: Eh?

Aqua used the tail to smash through the front windshield of the mech, and hitting Shadow Luigi as well.

Shadow Luigi: Oof! NOOOOOOO!

The Super L-flyer exploded along with Aqua losing her powerup. Shadow Luigi got up and admitted defeat.

Shadow Luigi: Hmph! I'll admit, the kid has guts. You two put up quite a good fight, so I guess I'll let you off the hook for the rest of the day. But know this! My lord won't take it so easy on you when he comes to face you, so be prepared for the worst! 'Till then, keep grooming that 'stache, Mario!

He disappears and leaves behind a Shine Sprite.

Mario: You know, he mentioned your Shadow counterpart being his sister. That makes me wonder…

Aqua: Do you know who they might be?

Mario: I can't say I'm 100% sure, but it might be an old enemy. Or it could be a new one. I don't know.

FLUDD: Well, it was definitely a hint on who they might be. Now let's take the Shine Sprite!

SHINE!

Mario and Aqua: YAHOO!


Fun Fact: Ricco is Italian for rich. So the name translates to "Rich Harbor".

Mario: Okay, we obviously know who Shadow Mario is, but who are the other three?

Me: Not telling!

Aqua: Oh come on! Please?

Daisy: Be patient! We haven't even gotten to MY counterpart yet!

Luigi: I'm assuming she's next?

Me: You bet! See you next chapter! Fav and review!
