At least it's over now. Though it's likely given her mental scars for life.

No... it's anything BUT fun! Trust me, you'd be screaming in horror if you were in Daisy's place. Unless, you were being sarcastic, in which if that's the case, sorry.

LiamTheYoshi

No, I get it. Nice reference.

StarlitDuck

I knew you'd be looking forward to this one! Glad you enjoyed it!

Nataly Guardado

Nope! That's not how chucksters work. They have no sense of polite manners whatsoever. They're mindless monsters.


Daisy was seen laying on the floor screaming.

Daisy: NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! STAY BACK!

She woke up and found herself back at Pianta Village, near the hot spring.

Daisy: Oh, finally! Thank God! THANK GOD THAT'S OVER! Sweet relief!

Daisy was so relieved to be out of that place that she practically started kissing the ground.

?: Hey, Daisy!

Daisy got up to see who was calling her, only to scream when she saw three Piantas in front of her. They looked confused by her reaction.

Red Pianta: You okay, Daisy?

Blue Pianta: Did you have a nightmare?

Daisy: GET AWAY FROM ME! GET AWAY!

Green Pianta: What are you talking about?

Daisy: Don't you play nice with me, you palm tree-topped big brutes! You're obviously gonna pick me up with your big fat hands, before saying "I'M A CHUCKSTER!" and then throw me all over the place! Not happening this time!

Daisy held out her hand and slapped the Green Pianta very hard across the face. It looked painful to even watch.

Green Pianta: OOOOOOWWWW!

Daisy then took a breather and blinked her eyes. But then her eyes widened in horror when she saw what she really did. Those 3 Piantas she saw in her vision were hallucinations, and they were actually Mario, Aqua, and Luigi. And she hit Luigi, the very person she was in love with!

She did hit Luigi before in Noki Bay, but this time he didn't deserve it. Not to mention the hit was much harder than last time, to the point where Daisy could see the mark of where she hit him on his cheek. Luigi himself was crying from the pain he just endured. Mario and Aqua stared back at Daisy not knowing what to say. Daisy herself started to cry as well, slowly lifting her hand and staring at it in shock and horror as if she'd become a monster. Not taking it anymore, she ran back to the entrance of the village in tears. Luigi tried reaching out to her.

Luigi: D-Daisy! Daisy… wait!

Luigi slowly got up and put his hand on the cheek that Daisy slapped, only to pull it away, feeling pain from it.

Luigi: Owwwwwww…

He turned back to Mario and Aqua, who looked worried and concerned.

Luigi: I think it's best that I handle this alone. This seems rather… personal.

Mario: If you say so…

Luigi ran back to the entrance desperately looking for Daisy.

Luigi: Daisy! Daisy! DAISY!

At the end of the bridge, Luigi saw Daisy sitting at the edge of the cliff crying. Luigi slowly sat down besides her.

Luigi: Daisy…

Daisy: Daisy put her head up for a moment, then put it back down. She couldn't stand to look at Luigi after what she did to him.

Daisy: Luigi… I… I… I'm… I'm so sorry…

Luigi: Hey… don't worry about it, just… What made you do it?

Daisy: Well… i-i-it was a halluc… cination. You see… I just came out from this horrible HORRIBLE PLACE!

Luigi: Okay, calm down Daisy. Do you mind telling me about this place?

Daisy: You see… It was a s-secret level. I got my T-Turbo taken away. It seemed normal at first, but there were people down there and… no… no… NO!

Luigi: Daisy! Daisy! Breathe! Deep breaths… What did they do to you?

Daisy: They… *sniff* they threw me… They treated me like I was some kind of beach ball… They called themselves… ch-ch-chucksters!

Luigi: "Chucksters"? That must've been awful!

Daisy: IT WAS!

Luigi jumped back at her outburst. Daisy sighed.

Daisy: Sorry… I just… I have a hard time controlling myself sometimes. I just… these chucksters wouldn't listen whenever I tried to tell them to stop. It… it reminded me of my years growing up…

Luigi: Do… Do you wanna talk about it?

Daisy stuttered for a second, but then she sighed and cleared her throat.


*flashback*

It all started in the very beginning, when I was born. My mom and dad were great parents who were proud to have both of us, but… they always seemed to prefer Peach for some reason… I mean, we were only like a year apart, and you'd think the youngest child would usually be the one getting all the attention, right? Well, not the case for the Toadstools. Peach was the older one, yet she got the majority of the attention and popularity. She got better toys, the better room, better privileges, better status in school, better grades, better EVERYTHING! I didn't get it. What did she have that I didn't? Was I not pretty enough? Was I not smart enough? What was wrong with me?!

And it only got worse, whenever Peach was getting praised, talked to, or talked about. I practically turned invisible. People were treating me like I wasn't there at all. It infuriated me, because no one ever talked about me! NOBODY! Even my parents wouldn't talk about me much. It was all "PEACH THIS! PEACH THAT! PEACHY PEACHY PEACHY!" I started taking out my anger by getting into fights in school, which resulted in getting detention and disappointment from my parents. Now Peach, I still love her very much. I mean, how could I not? She's my sister after all, and she still treats me very nicely like any good sister would. But there's also that teensy tiny side to me that hates her SO MUCH!

Fast forward to late high school, we get the news that mom was in labor and was giving birth to a third child. While Peach looked absolutely thrilled to have another sister, I wasn't. I felt like this third kid would perhaps be treated with even less care than me. At least I'd be able to relate with her. I couldn't be more wrong! When she was born, she practically became the new Peach. The princess who got ALL the attention! She became loved by many, just like how Peach used to be. This is why me and Aqua are… not exactly the closest of siblings. Because I'm just jealous that she's somehow having a better childhood than mine! Though I will admit this. She did not deserve to see Mom and Dad's deaths at the claws of Bowser. That was just way too much!

*end of flashback*


Luigi: Wow… I-I'm so sorry…

Daisy: No, don't be. It's not your fault. It's just that this whole experience is why I'm just so bitter at times. I feel like getting mad is the only way I can get anyone's attention.

Luigi: No! No! I get it! I know how it feels to be treated less than your older sibling. Me and Mario, we've always been close, but Mario was always the one getting all the credit whenever we saved Princess Peach. There's absolutely nobody in the Mushroom Kingdom who doesn't know of the famous Mario. But me? Barely anyone even knows my name. I just get nicknames like Green Mario, Green Guy, Bootleg Mario, Green Nobody, the list goes on! I'm practically treated like a sidekick rather than my own hero, and I hate that! I wanna have my own identity! Not be treated like a mere extension of Mario. When I went on that adventure in that mansion, I finally felt like I had a heroic identity of my own! Something that people would be proud of me for! But nope! Mario still gets all the attention. It hurts! I felt like my "Super" power was going away because of it! But then, Mario gave me this advice I'll never forget.


*flashback*

Mario: Luigi, I'm sorry everyone didn't cheer for you. But don't let that upset you for the rest of your life. You're better than you think you are. Remember that we're the Super Mario Brothers for a reason, and that is because Bowser has no chance against us. But it's not all about powers. It's about the kind of person you are in your heart. You don't need to have powers to be Super Luigi. All you need to do is think of everyone who loves you and brings you happiness. That will give you the courage to protect your friends and family whenever they need your help. No matter what happens, you'll always be Super Luigi in your heart.

*end of flashback*


Luigi: Those words gave me the encouragement to keep moving forward and keep doing what's right for the Mushroom Kingdom. The point I'm trying to make is… don't let another sibling's popularity put you down. Think about all the things that are good about you, and how people can appreciate you for… well… YOU!

Daisy lifted her head, stared in Luigi's sparkling eyes for a second, and without warning, gave him a nice warm hug whilst still crying. Luigi flustered a bit from it.

Daisy: Thank you… Thank you, Luigi! Those are just the words I needed to hear.

Luigi comforted her by hugging her back. Mario and Aqua arrived back to see them hug it out.

Mario: So, everything's good again?

Daisy: Yes… Yes it is.

Aqua: Soooooooo… you gonna K-I-S-S-I-?

Luigi and Daisy: NO!

Aqua: Alright, alright! I'm just messing with you!

Mario: Anyways, we got another Holo-Peach. It could be something important.

He opens up the card and it displays a hologram of Peach.

Holo-Peach: Hello, Mario. Just wanted to check in. It's getting really boring around here. Though Bowser Jr said his dad had a surprise for me, and I am NOT looking forward to it. I'll forgive you if I'm wrong, but I'm confident that this is the day you're gonna save me. Good luck to you and the others. I hope you can save me soon so we can have the real vacation we've wanted. See you later.

The hologram vanished And Mario put the card in his pocket like before.

Luigi: Bowser's got a surprise for Peach? That doesn't sound good.

Daisy: Yeah. I'd hate to be in her position right now.

Mario: Which is why we need to hurry. I doubt Peach will be able to handle this for much longer. We just need to find a few more stars.

Just then, the quartet were startled by lots of blood curdling screams coming from the village.

Aqua: What was that?!

Mario: Sounds like trouble!

Just then… the village's mayor could be seen running across the bridge in a panic. He stopped and breathed for a second before getting up.

Mario: Mr. Mayor, what's going on?!

Mayor: It's horrible! I can't believe it! Another fine mess! And it's a doozy! Some of the villagers are trapped in that burning ooze! And I just finished evacuating everyone a little while back! What in the world's happening? I think I may just start crying.

The mayor collapsed into tears, and covered his eyes with his large hands. Mario comforted him.

Mario: Hey, hey! Don't be upset! We'll save them! I promise!

Pianta: OH, THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Ten villagers are trapped in the slime. You must hurry!

Mario: We're on it! Let's a go!

Mario and the team ran across the bridge and then split up to rescue the ten villagers as fast as possible.

Aqua went and freed two children and a couple near the front of the village, Mario freed the chomp pet owner and a mother, Luigi freed Gramps and a Pianta with a mustache, and finally, Daisy freed a few women. They all thanked them and gave them 1up mushrooms as reward. Mario and the gang then returned to the mayor.

Mario: Good news, Mr. Mayor! Your people are safe now.

Mayor: Thank you so much! You are the saviors of Pianta Village! We're in your debt! As a reward, please take this!

The mayor takes out a Shine Sprite.

FLUDD: We're making good progress. Just one more Shine Sprite oughta do it!

SHINE!

All: YAHOO!


But it wasn't over yet. They heard yet another scream from the village and rushed back. The four saw Shadow Daisy holding out fire flowers, and the pet owner was guarding her chain chomplets.

Shadow Daisy: Move out of the way, lady! I just want to give your pets a snack!

Chain Chomp Owner: No way! You and your friends just brought my chomps back to normal! I'm not giving them anything fire related!

Mario: You again?

Shadow Daisy turned toward Mario and the gang. And she wasn't too happy to see them.

Shadow Daisy: Ugh! Not you! You just HAD to come here and undo all my hard work!

Luigi: Yeah, because you were putting people's lives in danger! You could've caused a forest fire!

Meanwhile, the Chain Chomp owner was confused seeing that there were two Daisys.

Chain Chomp Owner: Wha? Why is there-? Huh?

Shadow Daisy: Oh, by the way Daisy, what did you think of my chuckster level? Pretty fun, wasn't it? AHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Daisy: Fun?! FUN?! You are a complete, PSYCHOPATH if you thought THAT was fun! It was downright TORTURE! I thought one of those "chucksters" of yours would throw me off the level!

Shadow Daisy: Gee, you must have really bad taste in level design. No matter. It's time I make the lot of you feel the burn!

Shadow Daisy uses her brush to hit the Chain Chomp Owner and knock her over.

Chain Chomp Owner: GAH!

Shadow Daisy: And I'll need you out of the way.

Shadow Daisy went ahead and fed each Chomplet a fire flower from her bag. This set the Chain Chomplets on fire once again and they went bonkers. Shadow Daisy used a whip to keep them under her control. She tied up each of their chains with a rope to use as a leesh.

Chain Chomp Owner: My babies!

Shadow Daisy: They're MY babies now! Sick 'em boys!

Chain Chomplets: RUFF RUFF!

The Chomplets began to charge at the heroes. Luigi and Aqua looked scared, but Mario was prepared.

Mario: I don't think so!

Mario used FLUDD to extinguish the Chomplets to calm them down. Only for Shadow Daisy to give them more Fire Flowers to heat up again.

Shadow Daisy: I was prepared for that. And there's plenty more where that came from!

Mario: Oh no!

Daisy: It's that bag of fire flowers! We gotta take that away from her!

Luigi: But how?! We won't even be able to get near her with those Chomplets on fire!

Shadow Daisy commanded them to attack. They started to breathe fire out their mouth which caused some burns across the village. One fireball even lit up a fireplace where a Blue Pianta was rubbing two sticks together. He cheered at first before his mushroom backpack caught on fire as well and started running amok.

Shadow Daisy: Ha! Good one guys, but let's focus on our main targets.

Chain Chomplets: Ruff Ruff!

Aqua was extinguishing the fire on the Pianta when she didn't notice one of the chomplets' fireballs heading towards her and it hit her in the back.

Aqua: OOOOOOOWWWWWW!

Mario, Luigi and Daisy: AQUA!

Her back caught on fire and ran around in circles for a few seconds before remembering what she learned in school to stop, drop, and roll. So she did so to take out the fire, but the pain was still there, and she cried as Mario sprayed water on her back to ease the pain.

Shadow Daisy: Yeah! Take that, backpack!

Aqua had just about had it with the insults and got really mad. Almost like a fire was building up inside of her as well.

Aqua: BACKPACK?!

She got up to the other heroes surprise and spin jumped over the Chain Chomplets and onto Shadow Daisy's chariot.

Shadow Daisy: Hey! What are you-?!

Aqua grabbed Shadow Daisy's bag of fire flowers.

Aqua: I'm DONE with riding on Mario, making him do everything while I just watch! I'm my OWN hero now! Let me prove it to you!

Shadow Daisy wasn't having it and grabbed the bag as well.

Shadow Daisy: Give me that!

Both fought for the bag, but this prevented Shadow Daisy from driving. Thus, the Chomplets crashed into a fence, sending the bag flying out of their hands and scattering Fire Flowers everywhere.

Shadow Daisy: Why you little-!

Mario: Nice work amico!

Mario and Luigi each ate a fire flower and their clothes changed. Mario's cap and shirt turned white while his overalls turned red. His Shine Sprite shirt turned from sky blue to orange, and his sunglasses now had a fire styled pattern at the tips. Luigi received a similar change except his overalls turned green. They were now Fire Mario and Fire Luigi.

Fire Mario: Ah, the first powerup we ever used. Good times, bro.

Fire Luigi: Well, if you discount the Super Mushroom, but I agree!

Shadow Daisy: Hey! Those were meant for the Chomplets! That's cheating!

Fire Mario: You never set any rules, pal! Should've done that before starting this battle.

Fire Luigi: Too late to do it now. Now it's-a time for YOU to feel the burn!

Mario and Luigi both sparked up flames in their hands. They were not burning thanks to a special magic provided by the powerup.

Aqua: You guys look awesome! I wanna try that too!

Daisy: If this is anything like the Superball flower from my kingdom, I'm in!

Aqua and Daisy ate some fire flowers as well. They tasted like gasoline, much to their disgust. But it was worth it because of their transformations. Daisy's hair was tied up in a ponytail, and wore a white dress with the parts that were originally yellow now being orange, becoming Fire Daisy. Aqua also had her hair tied up, along with her dress turning red and resembling flames of a fire, becoming Fire Aqua. Both of their glasses also changed to the same colors as Mario and Luigi's. Aqua held out her hand to see a fireball form right in her palms and not burn her.

Fire Aqua: Oooooooh!

Fire Daisy: Not bad! Now let's fire up that impostor!

Shadow Daisy: You're seriously gonna fight fire with fire? You're just adding fuel to my Chomplets' fire. Both figuratively and literally.

Fire Mario: We'll see about that. Alright guys, here's the plan. I'm gonna blow Daisy's clone away with a really powerful attack I usually use in desperate situations. But it's gonna take a while to charge, so I need you to distract her for a minute. Once I'm done charging, lure her in front of me.

The other three nodded in agreement. Mario crossed his arms and made his fingers form into a ball-like shape, in-which a fireball formed and started to grow. Meanwhile, the Chomplets recovered from their dizziness and Shadow Daisy was now mad.

Shadow Daisy: Enough of this! Chomplets, chow down!

Chain Chomplets: Ruff ruff!

Mario's friends held out their fireballs and threw fireballs at Shadow Daisy whilst dodging the Chomplets.

Shadow Daisy: Ow! Ow! Ow! (Ugh… this reminds me of how Mario would spam fireballs whenever me and my siblings would fight him. What a cheater!)

Shadow Daisy's chariot caught fire and she grew into a panic. At that point, Mario was finished charging and unleashed a powerful two streamed blast of fire. Shadow Daisy was unfortunate to get caught in the blast and was blown away along with the Chain Chomplets.

Shadow Daisy: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

Shadow Daisy and the Chomplets landed into the Pianta Hot Spring. The Chomplets cooled down while Shadow Daisy turned back into Iggy.

Iggy: Ugh… hey, this hot tub feels pretty nice.

Mario and his friends surrounded him.

Fire Daisy: My impostor is a GUY?! Eww!

Fire Mario: You like it so much? Well then why don't you get outta here and make your own?!

Fire Luigi: And give us your Shine!

Iggy: Fine! Fine! You win! Take your stupid sun! But just so you know, Junior's not gonna take it very well when I report him, so you'd best be prepared!

Iggy disappeared, leaving behind the Shine Sprite. As the four heroes reverted from their fire forms to their normal forms. The Chain Chomp Owner came back and pet her Chomplets.

Chain Chomp Owner: Oh, thank you so much for saving my babies from that creep! I owe you four a whole lot!

Mario: It was nothing ma'am. We were just doing our part and we were glad to help.

Aqua: So now that Pianta Village is safe, do you think we cleaned up the whole island?

FLUDD: Affirmative! At this point, you should be able to enter Corona Mountain and save Princess Peach.

Mario: Yahoo!

Chain Chomp Owner: You're going to Corona Mountain? That place is dangerous!

Luigi: It may be dangerous, but our friend is being held hostage there! And besides, we've survived many dangers before. So we'll be fine!

Chain Chomp Owner: Very well, but I must warn you. No person has ever come out of that volcano alive.

Aqua: We'll be okay.

Daisy: Can't be any more dangerous than all those secret levels we went through.

Chain Chomp Owner: If you insist. But before you go, do you think you could stay for the annual Fluff Festival, as a token of our appreciation?

Aqua: Fluff Festival? What's that?

Chain Chomp Owner: It's a festival held in this village every year when the fluffs from the nearby giant dandelion blow through the air. There will be singing,dancing, and you'll get to fly through the air on a fluff.

Mario: That sounds like fun!

Luigi: I guess we can spare a few minutes before we go.

SHINE!

All: YAHOO!


Meanwhile in Corona Mountain

Iggy: …and so, they beat me again.

Wendy: Sheesh! Can't ANYTHING defeat them?

Ludwig: I know, right? They simply can't be stopped. And to think we're doing all of this because Junior thinks that Princess Peach is his mother.

Wendy: You know, speaking of which, despite the abuse, I actually feel bad for Junior. His father flat out LIED to his face about Princess Peach being his mother!

Ludwig: I know, right? What kind of a father would do such a thing to their kid? I mean, they'll eventually find out the truth and have trust issues with their own father.

Iggy: Seems to me like Bowser is taking advantage of his son's naivety. In other words, he's USING and MANIPULATING him! If that's not awful parenting, I don't know what is.

Wendy: Do you think we should tell Junior the truth?

Ludwig: I'm not sure if that would be wise, Wendy. He might not take it very well and abuse us more.

?: You don't have to.

The three looked to the left to see Bowser Jr. standing there who looked to be both sad and angry at the same time.

Bowser Jr.: I heard it all.

Ludwig: Oh… uh… Junior. We're not actually talking about you, we were talking about some other Junior, and…

Bowser Jr.: I'M NOT AN IDIOT LUDWIG! I KNOW YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT ME!

Ludwig: Okay, okay, Junior, you got us. We were talking about you.

Bowser Jr.: You think my papa is a liar?! DO YOU?!

Wendy: Junior, just think about it for a moment. A koopa plus a human equals a koopa? What kind of sense does that even make?! How would that even be possible?!

Bowser Jr.: It makes total sense if papa told me about it! He's the most trustworthy and honest person I've ever met! He's my DAD for crying out loud!

Iggy: He may be your dad, but lying to his son is not a beneficial thing a father should EVER do! I mean, name one physical trait you and Peach have in common.

Bowser Jr.: Oh, I can name plenty! She has… well I have… um…

Iggy: Go on.

Bowser: ...We have the same eyes?

Iggy: *sarcastic* Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Bowser Jr.: It doesn't matter, okay?! I probably just ended up looking exactly like my papa! That happens a lot with children, you know?!

Iggy: You're being absolutely ridiculous, Junior! Your dad is-!

Junior wasn't having it and grabbed him by the neck in a fit of rage.

Bowser Jr.: FOR THE LAST TIME! MY PAPA IS NOT A LIAR!

Bowser Jr threw Iggy down to the floor, knocking him out cold, much to Ludwig and Wendy's horror. Wendy was even beginning to cry.

Ludwig: Junior…

Bowser Jr.: I think I know what's going on. Mario got to you too, didn't he?

Wendy: What?!

Ludwig: What in the mushroom world are you talking about, Junior?

Bowser Jr.: Don't play dumb with me! Papa said that Mario, Luigi, Aqua, and Daisy brainwashed Mama into thinking she was a part of their family. They must've done the same to you after they defeated you!

Ludwig: You've gotta be kidding me!

Wendy: That's not true, Junior! What we're saying is our own free will!

Bowser Jr.: I don't wanna hear it! I've had enough of you three! First you forget to take away Aqua's key so she could set everyone free, then you lose to Mario and the other's TWICE, and now you fall for his hypnosis! You're all fired!

Ludwig: You can't fire us! Only your dad can do that!

Wendy: Plus, we're your adoptive siblings!

Bowser Jr.: Well, I'm firing you from even being considered family to me. That's gotta account for something, doesn't it?

That broke Ludwig and Wendy's hearts as he left. They were left alone with Iggy's unconscious body, heartbroken…

Ludwig: Junior… why…?

Wendy: We just wanted to help you…


Meanwhile… Junior was walking through the halls, now feeling saddened and a little depressed. That was when he wondered…

Bowser Jr.: (Is my dad really telling the truth? Is he just using me? Does he really value me as his son?)

He then walked over to Peach's cell. He was going to greet her in an excited and happy mood, but thanks to what he heard from the Koopalings, he was feeling the exact opposite of what he had planned. Peach herself looked a bit concerned. Bowser Jr took a good look at Peach for a few moments.

Bowser Jr.: (What if she really isn't my mama? Then… papa really did lie to me?)

Peach: Bowser Jr.? Are you… okay?

Bowser Jr just sighed and opened up Peach's cell.

Bowser Jr.: Papa's surprise is ready… Go ahead and greet him. I'll meet you there later. I gotta do something… *sniff* important first.

Peach: A-Are you sure you don't need me to comfort you or anythi-

That just made Junior cry even more.

Bowser Jr.: J-Just go!

Peach felt like crying a bit too, actually feeling bad for Junior despite him being her kidnapper, vandalizing the island, and framing her friends and family.

Peach: Okay…

Peach walked off, looking back at Junior one last time before going. Once she was gone, Junior's sadness slowly turned into anger. He may not be able to understand his father's motives, but he did understand one thing about him: Why he hated Mario so much. Now all he could think about was getting revenge on Mario and taking out his anger on him.

Junior spotted the bibs he and the koopalings used to transform into the heroes respective Shadow duplicates and grabbed Wendy's.

Bowser Jr.: You like ruining my plans and cleaning up my messes, Mario? Well, let's see you clean up this mess!

He put on the mask to transform into Shadow Aqua, then want outside and climbed up to the top of the Shine Gate. After which, he unleashed an ear splitting, bloodcurdling scream that could be heard all across the island, even as far as Pinna Park. After which, boiling hot water came bursting out of Corona Mountain and flooded the entirety of Delfino Plaza. Screams could be heard from the Plaza as Junior turned back to normal. He smiled evilly and laughed as he heard the screams of civilians.

Bowsef Jr.: Man, I feel so much better now! Good luck cleaning that up, Linguini Breath!

He hopped down and went back into the mountain.
