A/N: Hey everyone, it's been forever since I've updated Mario & Luigi: A Date with Destiny, please forgive that, I was trying to write on some of my other stories…Anyway here's a recap of my last chapter, just incase you've forgot…It have been a long time. Enjoy the recap. First update of the year!

Last time on Mario & Luigi: A Date with Destiny. Plum was still trying to free her father, Mario from being brainwashed by the evil Flare. The fight was coming to a thrilling end as Plum finally was able to free Mario…For a little while, of course. As Plum and Mario did their little reunion, Flare came from behind jabbing Mario turning him back into the brainless fighting machine known as Duper Mario. Plum was outraged and was finally able to tap into the mystic Glorious Form and was able to easily defeat both Duper Mario and the nefarious Flare. Now what's gonna happen now? And is their another threat somewhere, far away from our heroes? Just read today's chapter and found out.

Chapter 22: Fawful and The Bean Bean Cruiser

"I...I have failed you again...My Queen..." Flare muttered as he laid in the lake. Flare's body was severally burnt from Plum's Glorious Burst attack. One side of his body was completely gone. Let's just say that his injures were really serious. "H-How come every time I try to make my queen's vision of a new world come to light, I always get thwarted by ignorant fools?!" Flare muttered as he lost consciousness.

Suddenly a black void appeared underneath Flare's lifeless body sucking him into the void. "His powers to control anybody at will could become very useful to me in my plans to create a new Chaos Heart." Count Bleck muttered as he watched Flare's body sunk inside the void.


A Toadette with purple spots holding a suitcase was now entering the swamp part of Sarasaland. "Ahhhhh…It feels so great to be back, after my well deserve vacation in the Choco Mountains." The Toadette said as she let out a huge sigh out of relief.

As the little Toadette walked farther inside the swamp she quickly noticed how the once beautiful Sarasaland was now in utter ruins. Most of the trees in the forest were destroyed, craters were all over the ground, and even the water was in ruins. "W-What happen here?!" the pink Toadette shrieked as she ran outta the swamp. "I need to see if Princess Daisy's and others are ok." the Toadette mumbled as she exited the swamp part of the forest. "This is so horrible! I was gone for only three weeks and all this happens?!?!" she muttered as she placed her hand on her head. "I hope everybody still alright at the castle."

As the Toadette got closer and closer to Daisy's castle, she noticed our falling heroes; Mario, Plum, and Luigi all lying unconscious in different parts of the battlefield. Mario was lying on top of some half broken boulders, Luigi was lying facedown on the ground, but he didn't have any bruises on him, because of the Max Mushroom Plum gave him earlier. "Oh my goodness, is…Isn't that?" she then placed her hands over her mouth. "IT IS?! Mario and his little brother, Luigi?!?! What happen to them?!? How did they get so badly injured like this?!" when she turned around she immediately noticed Plum, she was lying in some severally scorched grass. "Oh no, that girl! She looks hurt, too! I wonder what happen here?!" The Toadette said as she looked at all of our heroes. "How am I gonna carry all three of 'em back to the castle…?" the Toadette sighed. "I've got to inform Princess Daisy about these three, that way I can get some help to bring them back to the castle." she then left our heroes, and ran toward the castle.


Meanwhile far away, and I mean REAL far way from Sarasaland! Somewhere deep inside the Koopa Fields. Fawful and Wario sat inside Fawful's luxurious mansion. Don't ask me how he got a mansion. It's still a mystery, and it will probably never be solved. Anyway Fawful sat impatiently inside his living room as he waited for Wario come out of the bathroom. "YELLOW CAP?! What's taking you so long?! If Yellow Cap don't hurry, Red, Green, and Pink will return to Princess' Castle and the Bean Bean Crystal will still be in their possession! And Fawful doesn't want that to happen at all!" Fawful then started rubbing his green head. "If Fawful doesn't reclaim Fawful's Bean Bean Crystal immediately…" Fawful then started trembling. "ARRRR! Fawful can feel The FURY stirring around inside!!!!" he then pulled out his pill bottle and started chucking pills down his throat.

"ARRRR…Oh shut your creepy ass up, You nerdy little dweeb!!!" Wario growled from behind the bathroom door. "I've already told you! Takamine's on it! He's suppose to be slowing Mario and his little friends down, so stop bitching…And what did I tell?! My name's Wario, NOT YELLOW CAP, DAMMIT!!!!"

Fawful sighed as he slowly walked over to the door. "Fawful isn't sure about Yellow Cap's associate. He seems very…Lazy, and irresponsible, Fawful doesn't trust him. Fawful thinks Yellow Cap should of sent somebody more…Um…Reliable?!" Fawful then walked closer to the door. "What is Yellow Cap doing in there anyway?!" he put his face on the door. "Yellow Cap better not be in there messing up Cackletta's clean towers…AGAIN!!!"

Fawful then walked backwards as Wario slowly open the door, he was stretching his arms. "Oh yeahhhhh!!!" Wario said as smirked at Fawful. "I'm glad that I was finally able to rid myself of those re-fried bean burritos I ate this mourning." Wario said smirking as he stood in the bathroom doorway rubbing his huge stomach. "You'll probably want to wait, maybe…Ten to fifteen minutes before going back in there." he then looked at Fawful and started laughing loudly "Wahahahahah!!!!!"

"What…?" Fawful said as he stared at Wario. "What does Yellow Cap means by ten to fifteen minutes?!" Wario ignored Fawful, instead he just continued laughing uncontrollably while pointing inside the bathroom. "What's so funny? Why is Yellow Cap laughing at Fawful?!" Fawful muttered as he walked over to the doorway of his bathroom.

Wario then started snickering as he stared Fawful in his face. "If I was you, I really wouldn't go in there." Fawful just ignored Wario as he walked passed him. "I'm warning you!!!!!" he said mockingly as he watched Fawful entered the bathroom. Suddenly Wario heard a sharp scream come from inside the bathroom. "WAHAHAHAHAH!!!! I told you, didn't I?! I told you not to go in there!"

Fawful then came storming out of his bathroom, he was looking at Wario while his left eye twitched uncontrollably. "F-F-Fawful's bathroom…I-It's horrible! Y-Yellow Cap left all of his feces all over Fawful's clean beautiful walls and floor." Fawful slowly pulled his pill bottle out. "Fawful thinks Fawful needs to get some fresh air and GET AWAY from YELLOW CAP for a little while, before The FURY comes out." Fawful was shuddering as he headed outside shoving his Zoloft and Prozac pills down his throat.

Wario just stood there digging in his nose as he watched Fawful walk around in circles mumbling to himself from outside. "Well, when you get finish doing…Whatever the hell you're doing now, I'll be right here waiting." Wario muttered as he slammed his big fat blobby body on Fawful's clean sofa.

When Wario turned he noticed Tatanga slowly hovering inside the mansion. "Ah…Tangerine. About time you brought your fat hideous ass back here."

Tatanga just sighed as he laid his head on his UFO's control panel. "Uhh…Seriously? Are the insults really necessary?!"

Wario just smirked. "Well, Yes, yes there are." he then walked over to the UFO. So, Takkakaw, was you able to kidnap Daisy and slow Mario and his losers buddies down?" he then started laughing. "I wish I could off seen the looks on their loser faces."

Tatanga just turned his head from Wario as he pulled out a bag of Cheese Puffs. "Well…Not exactly. You see when I got to Sarasaland I ran into a girl who looked exactly like Daisy, right. So I accidentally kidnap her thinking that she was the real Princess Daisy." he then opened the bag and started eating some of the cheese puff. "And my name? It's Tatanga."

"WHAT?! I CALL YOU WHATEVER THE HELL I WANT TO CALL YOU!!!" Wario snarled. "How could you kidnap the wrong PERSON?!" he then took a deep breath while putting his hand in front of Tatanga. "Please tell me you was at least able to slow Mario down…"

"Nope, Mario and his brother showed up and Mario started whacking me repeatedly his hammer, not to mention that he kept knocking my snacks outta my hand. Trust me, it was really annoying." Tatanga said while yawning lazily. So I did the only astute thing I could think off…"

Wario just stared at Tatanga as he growled angrily. "WHAT…?!"

"I just quitted, and gave the stupid girl back to them." Tatanga said callously as he pulled a Pepsi can out of his glove compartment. "I really didn't feel like fighting, all that moving around isn't really in me, especially when I knew I didn't stand a chance." he then sighed as he took a slip of his soda. "Awww…There's nothing like ice cold Pepsi and freshly bought Cheese Puff. It's like a drug, I can't live without 'em."

"ARRRRRR!!!!!" Wario growled as he started rubbing his head frantically. "So you're telling me that you just sat back and let Mario and his cronies waltz out of Sarasaland, without even attempting to stop them, and…JUST BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T FEEL LIKE FIGHTING?!?!" Wario's head then started turning red as he glared at Tatanga with complete and utter hate in his eyes. "You fat, lazy, stupid, ugly, piece of shit!!!!!!" Wario sneered as the Culex Crystal on his waist started glowing intensely. "I told you if you failed me that I was gonna kick your ASS, didn't I?!"

"Mmmmm…Huh?…Did you say something?" Tatanga was so busy eating and drinking his snacks that he didn't notice Wario leaping toward him. When Tatanga finally did turn around, he noticed Wario plummeting down toward him. "What the?! WAAAAAAAAA…Ah, it's not like I really care anyways."

Fawful was standing on his porch sighing out of relief, he was finally able to settle the Fury down. "Hey?! Bizzle Twanny! Fawful wanted to say that." Whoops sorry about that Fawful, and Um…It's Twanny Bizzle. "Fawful's gonna be honest with you…Fawful really doesn't care." Whatever, dude. Uh…Um…Fawful's glad that Fawful was finally able to calm the Fury down. Fawful thinks he's ready to go back inside." Fawful was just about to take a step, but a huge tremor from inside the mansion knocked him of his feet. "Wha…What's going on inside Fawful's home." Fawful muttered as he ran inside the mansion.

When Fawful got back inside the mansion he saw Tatanga lying unconscious inside a huge crater in the middle of his floor. "Wahhhh!!!! Fawful's living room. It's destroyed! Noooo!!!! How come bad things always have to happen to Fawful?!" he then looked down toward Tatanga. "Isn't that Yellow Cap's lazy associate? Why is he knocked out on Fawful's floor?"

When Fawful turned around he saw Wario standing in a corner digging in his nose, he was wearing his Wario Ware costume. "We got bad news, you little speech impediment freak. It seems like fat ass over there failed to kidnap Daisy. I'm pretty sure you know what that means, Mario and his gang of dorks are heading for Princess Peach's Castle. We need to hurry and steal that Culex Crystal before they beat us to the castle."

Fawful just stared at Wario. "Yellow Cap? How come Yellow Cap's associate is laid out in a crater in the middle of Fawful's house? Fawful demand answers NOW!" he then looked at his cloths. "And what's up with Yellow Cap's wardrobe? Wasn't Yellow Cap wearing a plumber suit?"

Wario snarled. "Does that really matter?! What we really need is something fast to travel in to reach the castle." he then grabbed Fawful's shoulders and started shaking him. "Do you have something like that in this dump you call a home?!"

Fawful then started rubbing his chin. "Well, of course Fawful have something fast to travel in Yellow Cap." he then placed both his hands on his waist as he pointed his chest out. Fawful calls it the Bean Bean Cruiser, but in order for Fawful to activate it, Fawful and Yellow Cap needs to go outside." he then pointed outside. "Well, what're waiting for, Yellow Cap? Let's head outside."

"ARRRR!!!! Okay! But I swear, if you call me Yellow Cap one more time, I'm gonna snap that bean shaped head of yours in half." Wario retorted as he followed behind Fawful.

Wario and Fawful were now standing in Fawful's front lawn. "Now, Yellow Cap. You are now about to witness the most valuable item in Fawful's collection." Fawful the pulled out a remote that was shaped like a beam. "Fawful sure hopes that Yellow Cap is just as excited as Fawful." Fawful then pressed the button.

The ground underneath Wario and Fawful started shaking violently. "What in the hell's going on here, you freaky freak?!"

Fawful just chuckled as the roof to his mansion slowly open up. "Hahahah, do not fret, Yellow Cap, it's just the amazement of The Bean Bean Cruiser." A green giant bean shaped aircraft started slowly raising up from the opening in the roof. "Fawful would like to proudly present." he then pointed as the bean shaped aircraft. "The Bean Bean Cruiser!!!!!!"

Fawful and Wario then walked over to the oddly shaped aircraft. "What in the…Hell?!" Wario muttered as he stared disgustingly at The Bean Bean Cruiser. "Are you serious?!?! This ugly ass airplane is the so called pride and joy you've been blabbing about?!?!" he then turned toward Fawful. "I know you're not expecting me to ride inside such a hideous airplane?!?!"

Fawful just sighed as he stared at Wario. "Fawful sorted figured that Yellow Cap wouldn't be able to have gratitude for Fawful's most precious item." he then sighed as he climbed up into The Bean Bean Cruiser's cockpit. "Well, what're your waiting for? Let's go. Using The Bean Bean Cruiser is the only way how Fawful gonna rightfully reclaim his Bean Bean Crystal back from Red, Green, and Pink, so Fawful thinks Yellow Cap needs to stop complaining and get inside Fawful's Bean Bean Cruiser."

Wario just shrugged as he climbed in the seat behind Fawful. "Whatever, you nerd. If riding around this ugly thing is the only way I'm gonna get back at Mario, then I'm gamed. And what did I tell you about calling YELLOW CAP?!"

Fawful then smirked as he put his goggle and that brown looking thing that pilots put on their heads. "Yes, that's exactly what Fawful wanted to hear, Yellow Cap."

Wario then sighed out of exasperation. "ARRR…What did I just tell…Awww, whatever. I forgot that you're retarded like that." he then chuckled as he eyeballed Fawful's pilot hat. "Damn! FreakFul! That's one ugly hat. It looks like that hat Snoopy wears when he acts like the Red Baron.

"Fawful thanks Yellow Cap for his kind words." Wario just stared awkwardly at Fawful as he pressed the button that started The Bean Bean Cruiser. "Now! Let us be off. Fawful and Yellow Cap's next destination...Pink's Castle where Fawful's Bean Bean Crystal lie dormant." Fawful then lifted The Bean Bean Cruiser off the ground and flew off at mach two speed as the cruiser headed toward Princess Peach's Castle.


Meanwhile somewhere around Bowser's badlands where once Bowser's Castle sat. Yaridovich and his BOYS were sitting around Yaridovich's newest lair, the Kamikaze Kastle...Not really doing anything...weird huh?

"Dammit! Spectacular! You bumbling buffoon! Get your big stupid ass outta that contraption! You've been riding around in that thing for hours now! Let me get a chance to test it out!!!!" Slick'em seethed as he watched Spectacular hover above him inside the Bowser's Clowncar.

Spectacular turned with an arrogant smirk on his face. "Honestly, Slick'em. A barbarian such as yourself, wouldn't clearly be fit enough to handle such an inexplicable piece of technology. The Specta-Mobile is almost as marvelous as me." he then started chuckling as he hovered away from Slick'em, who was beginning to become extremely riled. "Knowing you, you'll probably just sit there at the control panels with a stupid looking expression on your face as you try to get your undeveloped brain to operate the Specta-Mobile." he then started snickering like a little school girl. "Maybe you should stick with making wheels out of rocks, you are a caveman after all."

Slick'em glared angrily at Spectacular as he continued to chuckled at him. "Why you?! How dare you?! I'll make you pay for disrespecting me." he then pointed his hand toward the Clowncar while turning the armor on his arm to a small cannon. "You must have lost your mind! There's no way I'm gonna just let this degrading of me go unnoticed." he then fired a steam of fiery energy that went toward the Clowncar. "Hey! You slobbering ape!"

Spectacular then turned around sneering. "What?! How dare you?!?!" he then noticed the blast coming toward him. "Damn you, Slick'em!!!!!" the Clowncar was immediately blasted, destroying the Clowncar and also blowing Spectacular clean out it sending him hurtling toward a bookshelf. "AHHHH!!!!! Of course a primitive idiot such as yourself wouldn't understand the magnificent of me!!!!!" he yelled as he went crashing into a bookshelf.

Slick'em huffed as he folded his arms. "Humph. This wouldn't had happen to you, if you'd just let me tested it out." he then smirked as he turned the armor on his arm back to normal. "I mean really, Specta-Mobile? How absurd."

Pleasure then entered the room where Slick'em and Spectacular were in. "Huh…?!" Pleasure muttered as he looked and saw Spectacular lying facedown with books all on top of him. "What happen to him?" Pleasure said as he stared at Slick'em.

Slick'em causally shrugged as he walked passed Pleasure. "Humph, nothing that the big lummox didn't deserved." Pleasure then shrugged as he walked out of the room.

Pleasure was muttering something as he approached Yaridovich's throne room. "Something been crossing my mind for so long now, and the only person who can answer my questions is Master Yaridovich." Pleasure was now standing outside of Yaridovich's throne room. "Ok…Here I go." he muttered to himself as he entered the throne room.

Chapter 22's finally over. After Tatanga failed to kidnap Princess Daisy and to slow Mario, Luigi, and Plum down. Wario decided that it was time to for him and Fawful to go after The Wind Crystal our heroes have that's right now safely at Peach's Castle. Can Mario and the others gain consciousness before Wario get to the crystal? What about Pleasure, what does he want to ask Yaridovich that's so important? Just stay tune for the next chapter, which I haven't gave a chapter name yet.

A/N: For all who reviewed my last chapter, I would like to say thank you and I hope you review this chapter too.

See-Ya!!!!
