Welcome to the Semi Dark path. Here Wario basically decides to stay out of it. Even though, he will still lean to the side of dark.

Part 3D: Wario's Halloween

Area: A creepy castle

Wario exited from cyberspace only to find himself in kind of room.

"Where am I?" he wondered.

He looked up at a window and saw someone flying through.

"Isn't that Bowser?" Wario asked.

Bowser is basically a giant turtle. He also has spikes on his shell, two horns that look like bull horns, and red hair. He was currently riding his Koopa Klown Kart.

"Maybe he can tell me about those black creatures," Wario said. "But then again, whenever he ISN'T the main adversary of something, he is usually a bumbling idiot."

So Wario left the room. He somehow arrived to a castle. This castle was very creepy but it was fairly far away. It looked fairly old too. For the first hundred yards or so, there was nothing really, expect for hollowed pillars. The red sky also added to its creepiness. Wario went through a pillar and busted the door at the bottom. There, he met another 'friend.'

This 'friend' was a Toad. He had red spots on his white mushroom head and wore a blue vest. It's…..Toad! the Toad. And he was very glad Wario was here.

"YOU?" Toad angrily said.

Well, Toad and Wario never really got along. In fact, Toad once battled Wario and his henchmen in a game where Toad was in some kind of puzzle game.

"You're still mad at that? You'd won didn't you?" Wario asked.

"But you are still annoying!"

"Let's drop the subject for now," Wario suggested. "Why are you here?"

"Oh, right. Toadette wondered into that creepy castle but she hasn't come back out. Will you help me look for her? After all, you two are 'secret friends'"

It's true. It only seems like Wario and the female Toad can't stand each other, but they do. When Mario threw a sixth party (which Wario complained it was too much) when Wario was teamed up with Toadette, their team name was 'Secret Friends"

"Alright, alright!" Wario said. "But if something goes screwy I'm ditching you!" Wario said.

Wario busted a door and he and Toad found themselves floating upward. It was because the floor under them contained a large fan. They exited that room and went inside another room. This room had a very large and loose floor tile. Wario went to lift it up but Toad wanted to do it.

"With those arms?" Wario rudely asked. "You probably can't pick up a piece of paper."

While Wario was laughing, Toad grabbed the tile and flipped it over with ease and it revealed a hole. Wario stopped laughing. Toad was, in fact, very strong.

"Shall we continue?"

"Uh?" Wario stammered.

Wario and Toad jump through the hole and saw a Hammer Bro and balloon shaped like a jack-o-lantern. Wario attacked the hammer guy.

"Just leave the Koopas alone!" Toad ordered.

"Why? I don't even think this their castle," Wario said.

Wario and Toad grabbed the balloon and it took them to another area. Wario saw two brown lanterns. He grabbed a torch and lit the two lanterns. It cause a some kind of spooky face to appear. Wario was able to use the face to spring him and Toad upward. There they met the owner of the castle.

He was ghost. He had a round head which was also his body. He had two stubby arms, a stubby tail, a long tongue, and sharp teeth. He also wore a crown on his head. It's King Boo!

"Hey, Wario," King Boo said. "The black creatures infiltrated my castle."

"So?" Wario said. Toad was hiding behind him.

"So, go light these special, giant lanterns with that torch you're carrying!" King Boo explained.

Wario knew King Boo. They played baseball together. He also knew he was a Boo and if Wario refused, he could wound up being scarred for life. So he had to think of a way to get him off his back. And he knew the way.

"Say, King Boo? I've got a bet for you."

"What!" King Boo squeaked. King Boo was a compulsive gambler. That's why he looked so funny when he helped Bowser invade Isle Delfino. King Boo was in charge of destroying the hotel but he got so addicted playing the slots.

"Why don't you try lighting the lanterns? And I'll give you 200 coins!" Wario said.

"Deal!" King Boo said as he flew.

"Sucker!" Wario muttered.

Wario and Toad continued their mission. They saw Koopas defending the place and they also saw a balloon.

"Those must be Bowser's soldiers," Toad said. "If they're driving off the black aliens, maybe they're not so bad after all."

Wario and Toad grabbed the balloon and it went floating toward three hollowed pillars that were in a triangle formation. They jumped down to the middle one. They saw Boos flying upward but the Boos didn't care to scare them.

"That's odd," Wario said. "Surely they would have tried to scare us! What? I'M WORTHY TO BE SCARED!"

Wario opened a door and they were in a room. The room had cracks in the wall and a dynamite pack. They could also hear someone crying.

"It's coming from the walls," Toad said.

Wario grabbed the dynamite and threw it at the cracked wall. The wall broke down to reveal a girl. She was Toad like Toad. She wore a pink dress. Her mushroom head was pink with white spots. He also had pink braided hair. It's Toadette.

"Thank you, Wario!" she cried. "But my Lil' Oink, Piggy, wandered off in the castle. You have to find him."

"D'oh!" Wario said.

Lil' Oinks are basically pigs that can come in many colors

Wario and Toad exited the room. They saw a Black Hawk of the black aliens. Wario tamed the hawk and he and Toad jumped on for the ride to the castle.

Wario piloted the hawk. They saw other Black Hawks. They began to attack Wario. With careful maneuvering, Wario evaded their attacks. Soon enough, they arrived at the castle. They entered the castle to find larvae of the black creatures. They ignored the larvae and continued.

The duo found another door. They'd opened it to reveal a crack wall. Wario busted it down to enter another room. Where the walls were closing in.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Toad screamed.

But Wario defeated enough Koopas and property to use Wario Blast. He saw two cracks on the side walls. He used Wario Blast.

"Wario…..BLAST!"

The cracks broke down to reveal pathways. The duo went to the left path to find a simple lantern. Wario used the torch he still had to light it. It opened a path and revealed two Magikoopas. Wario defeated both of them and this caused the fan under the floor to activate. Wario and Toad floated upward. They saw a red goop like tube.

"That must be what the aliens use as transportation," Toad explained.

Wario and Toad entered the tube and went rolling in it. When they reached the other side, there faced a problem.

There were too many Lil' Oinks!

"Great!" Toad said sarcastically. "I have no clue which one is Toadette's."

"Well, what did I say?" Wario said. "If we came to a screwy situation, I would leave you. So, BAD BYE!"

Wario left Toad.

"jerk," Toad muttered.

Wario opened a door to reveal a loose floor tile. He lifted it up and found a hole. He jumped down a hole and landed on one of three slides.

"Whee!" Wario cheered.

Unfortunately, his glee didn't last long. He heard a vicious roar. He turned his head around to find some kind of creature chasing him. It was a large, bony monster that moved like a spider.

"MOMMY!" Wario yelled.

Wario slid as fast as he could but the monster kept up. So Wario decided to jump onto another slide. And to his luck, the next slide was faster. Soon enough, he finally made it to the end and the monster didn't bother to follow him. Wario could now search for Bowser.

Moments later, Wario saw the white Magical Orb.

"Another one. Tight!" Wario cheered

However, Bowser landed in front of Wario. Bowser was also carrying a mace.

"What are you doing here, Wario?" Bowser angrily asked.

"Look, Bowser." Wario explained. "I don't want to fight you right now. But I need that orb. I'm trying to recover my…"

Bowser interrupted. He thought what Wario was going to say was unimportant. "Enough of this trash! Those orbs belong to me. All seven of them. Nobody will get in my way. And those who are going too will be destroyed."

Bowser was looking for a fight. "So move clear or I will crush you. And you can bet I'm going to that to those black creatures."

Wario got in a battle stance.

"Now you are going to see me do something to the extreme," Bowser said. "I'M CARRYING A MACE! Now you're going down!"

Toad managed to arrive to the scene. If you want to know, he did manage to find Toadette's Lil' Oink.

"Why does he keep bothering everybody?" Toad wondered. "Let's take him down!"

Bowser jumped into the air and smashed his mace down to create a shockwave. Wario and Toad moved out of the way. Bowser did the same stunt again.

"LIGHTS OUT!" Bowser would shout every time he jumps.

Wario saw a Magikoopa trying to launch a spell at him. Wario defeated the Koopa and took his wand. Wario can use the wand but it won't be as strong because he's not a magician.

Wario fired some shots at Bowser. The shots felt like pinches to Bowser.

"Is that all you got?" Bowser insulted.

Wario decided to move far away so that Bowser wouldn't reach him while he was firing. But Bowser is not as dumb as everyone thinks he is. He threw his mace.

"TAKE THIS!"

Wario managed to dodge the mace. Now Bowser was defenseless.

"HA! Can't touch me now!" Wario gloated.

To prove that Bowser thinks his plans through, his mace returned back to him with magic. Wario stopped laughing. Bowser smiled evilly.

"You were saying?" Bowser smirked.

Wario continued to fire the wand but they harming Bowser fast enough. Bowser continued the jumping up in air and coming down with crash. Wario couldn't keep moving because he would tire soon.

Bowser was coming up to Wario until he realized something.

"Where's Toad?"

Bowser then felt someone grabbing his tail. It was Toad. Toad began to spin Bowser around.

"NO! NOT AGAIN!" Bowser yelled.

Toad spun around fast enough while still holding on to Bowser's tail. He then released Bowser's tail and Bowser went sailing. Bowser crashed landed with pain. Wario saw his chance and ran up to Bowser. Wario rapidly punched him. Bowser was now seeing stars.

"Oh, my head," Bowser whined. "You two are dead meat!"

Bowser slammed his mace down on Wario but Wario moved out of the way. Wario grabbed Bowser's tail now.

"Now Toad, this is how you do it."

Wario spun around. Since Wario was stronger, he was able spin Bowser around better.

"STOP! I'M GETTING SICK!" Bowser said.

Wario released Bowser and Bowser went sailing across the field. He didn't want to fight anymore. But he wanted revenge.

"Next time we meet, you are a dead man!" Bowser threatened.

The Magical Orb flew towards Wario. He grabbed it.

"Sorry Koopa. I just wanted the Orb!"
