A/N: Alright, if you haven't reread the first chapter yet, then go ahead and do that, or else you're going to be completely lost. Sorry about the swearing in the previous chapter also, but this is rated T.
Luigi twiddled his fingers as the train pulled up to the station. Toadsworth had decided to wait for the welcoming at the castle, and Luigi was wondering whether or not he could sneak Daisy away from the castle so they wouldn't have to go through the torturous event. But Luigi knew Toadsworth would have his head if he did, so there was no escaping.
The train horn blew as it came to a stop, and the doors slowly opened. Luigi looked around for Daisy, and then saw her exit the train, two toads helping her with her flowery orange luggage. "Daisy," Luigi called out to her, and then ran over and hugged her. "How have you been?"
"I've been good. I almost didn't make I here though. My father was all worried with Peach being kidnapped. But it's okay, I convinced him that I'm safe here with you."
Luigi laughed nervously, as the memory of the theatre graffiti resurfaced in his mind. He wasn't quite sure that what had happened there could be considered safe. "Listen, Toad told Toadsworth you were coming, so he planned this big event and everything… I don't know if you want to go or not…"
Daisy sighed. "Ah, the joys of being a princess. As long as this thing is short, then of course I'll go. If I didn't my parents would find out and march me back home."
"Great," Luigi said, grabbing Daisy's suitcases from the two toads. "We better get going. The sooner we get there, the sooner it will be over."
"You fool!"
A giant koopa with a spiked shell brought a clawed fist down onto one of his minions, a fox-looking creature with yellow eyes and scraggly brown fur.
"Please, my lord, have mercy!" the creature yelled, limping away.
"You took away my mercy when you screwed this up! You sent me to the Mushroom Kingdom instead of Sarasaland! I wanted Daisy, not Peach!"
"But my lord, Mario is the stronger of the two brothers, it is good we went after him. Not only that, you messed up their names again. Luigi's name was written in the theatre, not Mario's."
"How dare you talk back to me! Fine, then. Luigi will go to New York, and Mario will be the one confused. We should have done more research…"
"Luigi is smarter than his brother. It will take Mario a while to figure out, won't it? So, in a way, you are a genius in your mistake, my lord!"
The koopa smiled, and then laughed. "Send me all your troops, Krag, and we will deal with these stupid plumbers."
"Yes, my lord," Krag croaked, and then ran off.
"Finally, both worlds are mine… We are off to the Mushroom Kingdom!"
"Glad that's over with, huh?" Luigi asked as they left the castle, Daisy on his arm.
"No kidding! I don't understand how Peach can go through all those ceremonies like that," Daisy replied. "Although they did have very good food. Reception food I've always thought is the best."
Luigi smiled at Daisy as he remembered that Toad had told him to marry Daisy. He just didn't feel ready. They hadn't told each other they'd loved one another yet, but they were close enough to hold hands and kiss. Luigi was about to pull Daisy close when a scream rang out from behind them.
Afterwards there was an eerie silence. "What was that?" Daisy asked.
"You stay here," Luigi said. "I'll go check it out." He began to run off, but Daisy followed him.
"No way! I'm coming with you." Luigi had no choice but to let her come. If anything, she would probably be helpful. They ran back to the front gate of the castle to see an unsightly creature. It looked like a cat, but neither Luigi nor Daisy were sure what it was. It had the body of a human, but fur and whiskers of a household cat. It yowled at them, as if begging for a challenge.
Without hesitation, Luigi jumped at the beast and tackled it to the floor, pulling back on its whiskers until it screamed in pain. But there was another scream behind him, and Luigi turned back his head to see Daisy fighting off a fox-looking creature with yellow eyes and matted brown fur. She hit him over the head and kicked him the legs, but the fox would not give up.
Distracted, Luigi was pummeled to the ground by the cat creature and watched as Daisy was swept up into the fox creature's arms. "You let go of me this instant!" Daisy screamed. Toads were looking helplessly from the castle windows as Daisy struggled. "I am a princess! I demand respect!"
"Princess, eh?" the fox said. "That's even better! Watch, Mario… er, I mean, Luigi as your beautiful princess is taken away!"
Luigi struggled to get up, but the cat held him down. "Luigi! Help me!" Daisy screamed as the fox ran off running towards a silver capsule and hopping inside.
"Go back to Brooklyn," the cat whispered harshly in his ear. "If you ever want to see her alive again! You know where to go!" The cat jumped up swiftly and ran off to join the fox-creature and Daisy in the capsule.
Luigi looked up from his place on the ground, and watched as the capsule lifted into the air, and sped off. Daisy was gone. The beautiful princess he loved was gone, and now it was time for him to rescue her.
Luigi hardly thought as he ran to his house, dashed into his room and packed everything he needed. Brooklyn. He hadn't been there in… he didn't even remember the last time he'd been there, except he and Mario had fallen into their shower drain and ended up in a world of Mushroom people and a giant koopa.
Pulling his suitcase and Daisy's out of the house, he ran off towards the woods, where the pipe leading back to Brooklyn was. He stared at it for the longest time, then shoved his and Daisy's suitcase inside, before jumping in himself.
Daisy sat silently across from the fox and cat in the capsule, glaring at each of them with equal distaste. It was silent from the moment the capsule took of to when it landed and the front opened up.
The fox extended his hand to the princess as the cat jumped out. "May I escort you, dear princess?" he said.
"Ugh!" Daisy retorted. "Not in a million years you creeper." She jumped out after the cat and looked around. They were in the middle of nowhere, in a forest. A red warp pip lay underneath one of the trees and the cat pushed her towards it. "After you, princess," he sneered.
Daisy walked over to the red pipe and turned around. "Go in!" the fox demanded. "Or we'll make you."
"Fine then. Make me." Daisy held out her fists and prepared to fight, but neither the fox nor cat ran towards her. Instead, something grabbed her from behind and pulled her into the red pipe, and suddenly, before she knew it, she was falling into darkness.
