Back with another Chapter, this is where the story gets interesting. Let's get right into it, shall we?

"Let's-a go!" Mario yelled. He and Luigi were picked up by Garnet who jumped all the way over the lava straight to the entrance of the castle. Amethyst and Pearl jumped across also.
Lapis summoned her water wings and picked Steven and Connie up and flew them across to the entrance.
"Lets get our friends back." Lapis said.

"Let them in, Ludwig..." Bowser said.
"Hehehe, yes sir." Ludwig laughed. Ludwig pulled out a remote and pressed a button.

The doors opened slowly, revealing pitch black darkness. The group all looked at each other and nodded. They all slowly walked into the castle.
"Gwahahaha" A familiar voice laughed from the darkness. "Long time no see, plumbers."
"Bowser..." Mario said. "Show yourself!"
"With pleasure..." All of a sudden torches aligning the wall all ignited at once.
Bowser and Moonstone were standing at the top of the staircase, in front of their door.
"Bowser..." The Bros said.
"Moonstone..." The gems said.
"Ah, yes. The traitorous gemstone of Homeworld. It's about time you arrived." Moonstone said calmly.
"Where's Peridot?!" Lapis yelled.
"And Peach!" Luigi yelled.
"Don't worry, you'll figure it out soon enough." Bowser said. "Kamek now!"
Kamek teleported in and zapped Lapis with his wand.
"Lapis!" Steven yelled.
Her eyes swirls in them. She jumped up in front of our group. And she growled at them.
Suddenly, the floor dropped out from Mario and Luigi and they fell, down into the darkness.
"Oh no!" Steven said.
"Take care of them Lazuli. And bring them in our room." Bowser said as he and Moonstone exited to their room.
The gems summoned their weapons.
Lapis summoned her wings and wrapped them around everyone.
"Lapis! Snap out of it!" Garnet yelled.
"They're using you!" Connie said.
"I don't need your lies." Lapis said in a monotone voice. Kamek laughed.
"Nyahahaha, Good work! Now bring them in." Steven, Connie, and the gems started struggling.
"That gem is gonna turn us into Homeworld!" Amethyst yelled.
"We need to get out of here!" Pearl yelled.
"Where did Mario and Luigi go?!" Steven yelled.

"Mama Miaaaaa!" Mario yelled as he fell.
"Waaaaaah!" Luigi screamed.
"Oof!" Mario landed on his stomach. Luigi landed next to him.
"Ugh..." Luigi groaned as he got up. "Bro, you okay?"
"Yeah...where are we?" Mario replied. He started looking around, brick walls, a random cage sitting against the wall, and dimly lit by a few torches.
"It looks like a dungeon, knowing Bowser." Luigi said.
"Let's get out of here." Mario said motioning to the stairs
"Not so fast!" A voice said. A dark blue fire ball shot at the Bros. They both jumped out of the way.
The Bros saw the culprit. It was Ludwig Von Koopa, standing at the top of the dungeon stairs, holding his wand.
"You two aren't going anywhere!" He said.
"Give it up Ludwig! This all ends the same, us beating all of you!" Mario spat.
"That's what you think! Mario!" Ludwig yelled back. He pulled out a remote and pressed a button and the cage in the corner started shaking.
Four mechanical legs sprouted from the bottom side. And red spheres appeared out of the top side.
The cage lumbered itself in front of the bros. And Ludwig jumped over the bros and stood next to the cage.
"We're going to wipe the floor with you!" Ludwig yelled. "We'll get you out of the way early, so taking over this hunk of rock will be a piece of cake!"
"That's what you think!" Luigi yelled.
"I don't think, I know!" Ludwig said, getting into a fighting stance.
Boss Fight #7: Ludwig and The Cage
"Do something cage!" Ludwig yelled.
The cage started making a whirring sound, the bars started glowing yellow and crackling with electricity. Bolts of electricity came out and shocked the bros back into the wall.
"Hahaha! Perfect!" Ludwig said. He pulled out his magic wand and shot dark blue fireballs at the bros.
"Luigi, move!" Mario yelled. Mario jumped into Luigi knocking him out of the way of the fire.
Ludwig fired another and Mario hit it back with his hammer and it hit the cage. The cage got knocked back a little and had smoke coming off of it.
Mario had an idea. He whispered it to Luigi.
"We need to get the cage to overheat and explode, so we can get out of here." He whispered.
"Sounds like a plan." Luigi replied.
"Cage, do something else!" Ludwig commanded.
The cage shot a ball of electricity at Mario. But Mario hit it back and it hit the cage. The cage started shaking and sparking and the cage door flew open.
Ludwig grew frustrated.
"Grrrrr, you dumb plumbers are always messing with my new inventions!" Ludwig growled and shook his wand and cloned himself. Now there were three Ludwig's.
"It's over now Mario's!" He shouted. All three of them shot fireballs. Only one of them launched three, the one on the right.
"Luigi, jump on the one on the right!" Mario yelled.
Luigi jumped on Ludwig's head and he yelped in pain and retreated in his shell and started spinning.
"Woah!" Mario yelled as he jumped over the blue shell. Ludwig started charging at Luigi. Luigi stood in front of the cage, when the shell neared Luigi jumped over him and Ludwig landed in the cage.
Luigi turned quickly and slammed the door shut.
"Wha- HEY!" Ludwig yelled. "Let me out!"
"Wahoo! Great job Luigi!" Mario laughed, putting an arm around his brother.
"How about that plan that you told me, eh bro?" Luigi smirked.
Mario pulled out two fire flowers and he and Luigi gained fire power.
The Bros started firing fire balls at the cage, and the cage got redder, and redder, and hotter.
"Ow! OW! HOT!" Ludwig yelled.
"Caution, overheating. Power down to avoid extra damage." The cage said.
The cage starting overheating and exploded. It launched Ludwig to the ceiling. Ludwig landed hard on his stomach.
"Alright, Luigi. We need to go upstairs and find the others and stop Bowser and Moonstone from whatever they're planning to do to this planet." Mario explained.
"C'mon, who knows what Lapis is doing to them." Luigi said, running up the stairs. Mario followed close behind.
