Twanny Bizzle here folks I'm so sorry I haven't been updating I just did have anytime, I guess that's what I get for writing fanfic all the time, instead of doing my school work. Last time on Mario & Luigi: A Date with Destiny, Mario and Luigi had just rescue Plum from the clutches of the extremely lazy Tatanga, but after hearing from Tatanga that this was just a setup for Wario and Fawful to steal the Culex Crystal, our heroes now have to rush back to Princess Peach's Castle before Wario and Fawful still the Wind Culex Crystal, but is there something hiding under or heroes noses…Well it's too big to hide under Plum's nose, her nose is just too small.

Chapter 17: Flare's Vengeance

Mario, Luigi, and Plum were still following the Culex Collector trying to exit the endless swamp of Sarasaland. Plum who was holding the Culex Collector turned around facing both Mario and Luigi. "Dad I think I'm beginning to understand your plan a little, the Culex Collector is really leading us out of Sarasaland."

Mario then said while smirking. "See, I told you, you need to start listening to me more often."

Plum then said sarcastically. "Yeah dad you're totally right, if we listened to you more often maybe bad things wouldn't kept on happening to us." Luigi then started laughing quietly to himself.

Mario then said while not being aware of Plum's sarcasm. "Oh, so I see you're beginning to understand that the decision I've been making were good for our team."

Plum then slapped her forehead. "Dad you're so clueless, it's so totally your fault that bad things been happening to us."

Mario being as incomprehensive as ever then said. "Wha…What are you talking about, how it's my fault Plum, please tell me."

Plum then placed her hands on her hips. "Remember when we were stuck in Toadlice's cell, well I was trying to bust us out of there, but every time I tried you kept on blabbering about how injustice that was, and kept saying that Toadlice must had a reason for putting us in there, not to mention how you kept on aggravating Uncle Luigi."

Luigi then folded his arms and huffed. "Yeah Mario you sure was annoying when we were locked up…FOR NO REASON!!!!!"

Plum then laughed softly. "Thank you Uncle Luigi, but I think I can take it from here."

Mario then said. "But we did eventually escaped, so I don't know see what's the big deal."

Plum then sighed. "Dad come on if it wasn't for me we'll still be in that cell with that lowlife Toadlice watching are every step."

Luigi then said while pointing at Mario. "Yeah Mario if it wasn't for Plum we'll still be locked up." Luigi then started rubbing his chin. "Hmmm, this calls for an song." Luigi then started singing one of my favorite Akon song. "They got me locked up, they won't let me out, Oooo they won't let me out, I got locked up, noooo they won't let me out." Plum and Mario just stood there staring at Luigi. Luigi then folded his arms and muttered. "Humph, I can't help it I'll just love me some R&B music."

Plum then chuckled. "Heh, heh, heh, I just didn't think that you actually listen to music, that's all Uncle Luigi."

Luigi then turned his head and muttered. "Well now you know." he then turned towards Mario and smirked. "Hey Plum, don't you have anything else to say to Mario?!"

Plum then said. "Oh yeah thanks Uncle Luigi I almost forgot." she then faced Mario and once again placed her hands on her hips. "Yeah I'm sure you remember when we went to get the Earth Culex Crystal from Wario don't you?"

Mario then gulped while his eyes moved back and forward. "Um…Plum could we not talk about the little incident that happen with Wario."

Luigi then did a devilish grin. "Hmm, this seems a little interesting, do tell Plum." Luigi loved seeing Mario suffer, he thought of it as a little form of revenge for sleeping with the woman he loved.

Plum then smugly said. "Yeah Uncle Luigi this is what happen, alright we finally found Wario he had the crystal I guess he was about to sell it to somebody are something, anyways when we told him that we were after the Culex Crystal, he said the only way he would give us the crystal was if him and dad had a wrestling match."

Luigi then said while scratching his head. "A wrestling match, well that does sound a bit weird, but still sounds like something Wario would really say."

Plum then sighed. "That's not even the worst part Uncle Luigi, Wario came up these stupid rules saying that dad couldn't us any power up items during the match and guess what, dad stupidly agreed to his rules already knowing that he was a cheater." she then let out a loud sigh.


Meanwhile the trench coated maniac was still hot on our heroes trails. "Arrr, where are they, they move so fast it's hard to keep up with them." the trench coated maniac then felt a tingle down his spine. "Uh, yes I can feel the presence of my queen, yes I think it time for me to summon my perfect Hammer Bros. squadron, to bring me back my beloved queen." The trench coated maniac watched as countless Hammer Bros. with black shades surrounded him. "Yes, yes, my perfect Hammer Bros. it's time for us to be reunited with our queen, go towards them my perfect Hammer Bros. brethrens, and bring back our queen." The Hammer Bros. then leapt from tree branch to tree branch heading towards our unexpected heroes. "Now it all begins." he just stood with a psychopathic look on his face, you could feel the manically aura coming from the hand taped black trench coated madman.


Luigi was so anxious to hear the rest of Plum he couldn't stand still. Plum then laughed. "Ok Uncle Luigi just calm yourself I'll finish telling you what happen, now where was I."

Mario then nervously said. "C'mon Plum I understand now, you don't have to keep talking, I know it was all my fault that all those bad things kept on happening to us." Mario then gave Plum and Luigi an stern face. "But I only did them because I felt like it was the right thing to do during the moment, and Plum I'm sorry, but I'll gladly make those mistake again if it means I have to save somebody's life."

Plum then smiled. "Daddy…I can't stay mad at you, you are my dad after all." Plum then turned towards Luigi. "Uncle Luigi don't you have something to say too?!"

Luigi just shrugged as he muttered. "Uh…No not really, if I can remember correctly wasn't it you who was telling me all those Mario stories?!"

Plum was just about to replied to Luigi's patronizing statement, but suddenly they were quickly surrounded by countless Hammer Bros. with black shades. "Huh, Hammer Bros., they must be the same Hammer Bros. that work for my mom."

Luigi took a closer look at them. "Ye…Yeah they are the same that works for Daisy, but why are they here, and why are there so many of them?" Luigi said feeling really uneasy.

Mario stared down mostly all the Hammer Bros. "Uh…Um…Errr, Mama-Mia…" Mario's body then began pulsing as a grin shot across his face.

Plum then stared at Mario, he had this creepy smirk on his face and his eyes were all shifty. "Da…Dad are you ok, you're not really looking like yourself."

Mario then said in an extremely cocky voice. "I'm just fine Plum, these Hammer Bros. just choose the wrong day to tried to ambush us." Mario dug in his trousers and quickly pulled out a Flower Fire and transformed into Fire Mario, his overall turned from red and blue to white and red. "Now I think it's time for us to deal with these Hammer Bros., what do you two think?!"

Plum just stared at Mario as she said. "Dad, but these Hammer Bros. haven't actually did anything to us."

Luigi then timidly said. "Ye…Yeah Mario don't be so rash, let's see what the Hammer Bros. going to do first."

Mario then snarled as he ran towards the Hammer Bros.. "You're both cowards, I'm not going to just stand here, why the Hammer Bros. just stand there and plot against us." Mario's hands were all ablaze as he clobbered many Hammer Bros with fiery punches.

Plum and Luigi watched as many Hammer Bros. were sent flying all around the grassy swamp. "I hope Mario know what he's doing." Luigi said as he watched Mario bomb rushed more Hammer Bros with blazing combos.

Plum was extremely concerned. "Da…Dad what's wrong with you you're not acting like yourself." she said mumbling to herself.

"Yeeeeeee, Whooooo!!!!!!" Mario laughed as he blasted countless Hammer Bros. with fireballs. Mario then noticed that the Hammer Bros. were beginning to attack as they started separating in groups, some of them were heading towards Luigi and Plum. "Hey guys look alive there beginning to attack." Mario then turned smirking at the Hammer Bros. that were approaching him. "I was waiting for you weirdos to attack."

Plum then put her guard up. "Uncle Luigi I guess dad was right the Hammer Bros were up to something." Plum dug in her pocket and pulled out her Toki Toki Leaf and transform into Raccoon Plum, she grew raccoon ears and grew a raccoon tail. "Alright boys I hope you ready for the ride of your life." Plum flew past many Hammer Bros. knocking them all in different directions. "Hm, that's weird I thought Hammer Bros were stronger than that." she muttered as she towards more Hammer Bros.

Luigi watched as Plum easily trounced through countless Hammer Bros. "If Plum and Mario going to fight, then gosh darn it I'm going to see if I can do something too." Luigi was just about to pull an item out his trousers, but about 30 or 38 (weird number I know) jumped him and knocked him into the swampy lake, the Hammer Bros. then followed behind Luigi rushing towards the lake. "Uh…Those Hammer Bros. are insane, there attacking us for no reason." he mumbled as he climb out the swampy lake. "Then again there probable attacking because Mario went loco on them."

Luigi then looked up and saw the Hammer Bros. rushing towards him in great number. "Mama-Mia!!!!!" Luigi then dug in his trousers and pulled out a lightning bolt. "A lightning bolt, I don't remember buying a lightning bolt." One of the Hammer Bros. tried ramming his shell into Luigi, but he jumped over him, when he landed Luigi quickly started fleeing away from them. "Wahhhh, no time to think it through, I have no choice but to use it." Luigi then used the lightning bolt and transformed into Strike Luigi, the shirt part of his overall was light blue and the buckle part was black. "Wow, I look at me, I look so cool." Luigi then stop running and started rubbing his chin. "I wonder what I can do in this form." Luigi looked up and saw that the Hammer Bros. had him surrounded. "Oooh nooo."

The Hammer Bros. tried to pile on top of Luigi, but Luigi slid out of the way. "Alright here goes nothing." Luigi then shot lightning out his hands zapping many Hammer Bros. with electricity sending them airborne, they then fell back down and crashed into the ground with there body's all charred. "Wowser, I thought it would of shrunk the Hammer Bros., not electrocuted them." Luigi was feeling pretty good, until he saw more Hammer Bros. charging towards him. "Wahhh!!!!!" shrieked Luigi as he started back running.

Meanwhile Mario was still laying the smackdown on even more Hammer Bros., one Hammer Bros tried punching Mario from behind, but Mario quickly turned around catching the Hammer Bros' fist, he then started pounding the Hammer Bros. with punches and kicking combos, you could hear the Hammer Bros. bones cracking as Mario continued pounding away on the him, more Hammer Bros. tried helping him, but Mario picked the Hammer Bros. he was beating on and swung him towards his brothers, the Hammer Bros. smashed into his brothers and they all went crashing into a huge tree. Mario then landed on the ground and had a huge smirk on his face. "I think it's time for you Hammer Bros. to feel my Fire Frenzy." Both of Mario's hands began glowing brightly. "Here we Goooo!!!!" Mario released a huge amount of fiery energy toward the Hammer Bros., the Hammer Bros. were then blasted by countless fireballs as the tree they were lying on was getting obliterated. The attack was so intense that the fireballs blew up half the area. Mario then landed and started laughing maniacally. "You insignificant little worms think you can actually handle the fabulous, great, Super Mariooooo!!!!!!!!!" Mario said pointing at all the unconscious Hammer Bros. with his thick Italian accent, you could really tell that he was beginning to lose his mind.

Plum who was just slamming a Hammer Bros into the ground turned and stared at Mario. "…Dad what's wrong with you, I never seen you fight this aggressively before, something's not right here." Plum muttered as she watched Mario blast even more Hammer Bros. with his Fire Frenzy.

Luigi zapped more Hammer Bros. as he continued fleeing, he then saw a huge explosion in the distance. "Oh no, I hope Mario and Plum wasn't caught in that explosion."


The trench coated maniac was standing on a tree branch watching as the last of his Hammer Bros. felled down in defeat. "Arrrr, I don't understand why are my perfect Hammer Bros. failing me?!?!" he looked and saw Mario who was blasting his final perfect Hammer Bros. with an string of fiery energy. "Hmmm…I should of known that he had something to do with this, ah it matters not, this just makes my plan even more better, he's already going through the transformation process." he leapt off the tree branch and was heading down right towards our heroes.


Mario, Plum, and Luigi were standing in the middle of the swamp, most of the swamp was destroyed thanks to Mario. "That was crazy, why did they attack us?!" asked Luigi as he staring at all the unconscious Hammer Bros.

Plum who was still holding one of the Hammer Bros. then said. "I don't know, but I'm about to find out." Plum then held the Hammer Bros. up by it's collar. "Why did you attack us, did Princess Daisy sent you all out here?" the Hammer Bros. didn't answer, which really annoyed Plum. "Alright be that way then." Plum then started shaking him. "You stupid little turtle." the Hammer Bros. shades fell off, which showed an extremely creepy blank expression on the face of the Hammer Bros, his eyes were all buck and even though he had lots of bruises on him, he still looked as if he was in no kind of pain. "Huh, what's wrong with it's face, what's wrong with him?!"

Luigi walked over and stared at the Hammer Bros. too. "Ewww, it looks kinda creepy."

They then heard a voice. "No my ignorant little friends, that is what's called a perfect Hammer Bros."

Plum and the others turned around and stared at the black trench coated, black shades wearing, handed taped madman. "Huh, who are you and what is a perfect Hammer Bros.?" asked Plum.

The madman just chuckled. "How rude of me, my name is Flare Esquire, and perfect Hammer Bros. are Hammer Bros. that don't feel pain, they don't need sleep, or do they need to eat food to survive."

Mario just snickered. "Flare please, I didn't see anything so perfect about these Hammer Bros., they couldn't stay conscious long enough to witness the great Super Mario."

Flare ignored Mario and glared at Plum. "My queen aren't you glad to see me again, I know I failed you the first time, but I promise this time I won't fail you."

Plum then said. "Queen, what in the world are you talking about?!"

Flare then smirked menacingly. "Don't worry my queen it will all become clear soon, very soon my queen." he then pulled an small capsule and looked towards Mario. "Now Mario, my most faithful follower, it's time for you to pay your debt to our queen." Mario, Luigi, and Plum just stared at Flare as he began laughing tyrannically.

So it was Flare (A Red Hammer Bros) who's been stalking our heroes every since they been in Sarasaland, now our heroes are face to face with the madman what are his intention, and what about Mario being his most faithful follower, what in the hell is this insane in the brain ass turtle talking about, you'll just have to stay tune for Chapter 18: Duper Mario.

A/N: Like I said early, I'm sorry for this long wait, you'll know how life is, alright review my newest chapter. If you haven't noticed this yet Flare is suppose to be Agent Smith from the Matrix Reloaded (You know the part of the movie when Neo had to fight all those Agent Smith copies)
