TWO ****ING MONTHS!
Spoiler Alert: Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, Kid Icarus: Uprising
Luigi exited out of Master Hand's office, and headed to his room. Every smashers has their own room, some are different to match the smasher's proprotions. Someone like Charizard wouldn't be getting the same room design as Ness, or any humans for that matter. Since Luigi is human-proportioned, he got a normal room, identical to those who are also human-proportioned.
Each room at least has a desk at the top-middle, with window above it. Two full beds by the corners of the room, a TV, a wall-clock, a carpet, a lamp, an AC, a bathing room, a cup board, and a small refrigerator. Some other funitures may be added, depending to the smasher's needs. All is easy to grant, because Master Hand and Crazy Hand can just create things out of thin air, much to most's suspiciousness. Some say they totally robbed them from stores, some say that they just has super-ordinary powers, some say it's magic, nobody knows for sure.
Luigi kept on walking. As he saw Pit in front of the angel's room, the angel greeted, "Luigi! Have you seen Pittoo?"
Luigi replied, "Dark Pit? Huh, no, sorry. I haven't seen him anywhere.".
"Oh, I see, thanks. By the way, where did you just came out from?", now asked Pit.
"Huh, just from Master's office. The guy asked me to go to Smash Forest tommorow".
"Wait, did he said anything about the strange energy that is-", Pit was cut off by Luigi, "That's exactly what I'm doing", he said with a smirk.
"Oh, well, I wish you luck. And I know this is weird, but I've got to tell you that-"
"Aurum are probably behind this all, yes, Master Hand did told me about it too", said Luigi. Pit smiled, "I guess I got nothing else to tell you".
Luigi chuckled, "Don't worry about it, friend. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get rid of some odours".
"Ooh, yeah. You reeks of dried mushrooms!", exclaimed Pit who backs away and covers his nose,
Luigi rolled his eyes, "I don't smell THAT bad".
Pit laughed, "Sorry. Anyway, see ya later!", he waved off.
Doing the same, Luigi then went back to his tracks, and to his room on 2nd floor. The mansion had been split into three floors due to how many smashers they have now. Each floor now has 17 rooms, with Master Hand's office at the top floor, right in front of the stairs. Once arriving in front of his door, he pulled out a key from his overalls and inserted it, unlocking the door.
Luigi's room was tidy. Luigi's room door is located a bit further to the right of the middle. A desk with a study lamp on the top can be found below a window, which is located on the top middle of the room. An AC also sits directly above the aforementioned window. On the top corners, two beds can be seen placed there. Directly above the door, a wall clock is hanging. A cupboard was placed by the left of the door, and to the left of it again can be seen a block of cement, due to the next room's bathroom. In return, Luigi's room also has a bathroom that was placed in similar manner, to the right of the door, along with a small refrigerator in front of it. The floor was covered in a huge, green, soft carpet that has the 'L' emblem written all over it, just like Luigi has on his hat. Finally, a room lamp can be seen on the dead middle of the roof.
After strecthing himself a bit, he quickly undressed himself and wrapped his body with the blanket, as he went inside the bathing room.
15 minutes later, he was done. He quickly went out and dressed himself again. He looked at the clock and saw it currently tell 5.10 p.m.. Having time to spare before he goes to dining room, he threw himself to his bed, which is the left one.
As he stared to the ceiling, he thought, 'Alright, so tommorow I have to go to Smash Forest. Not that I'm scared or something, but I'm frankly a bit uneasy. After all, who could have give off an energy in a forest for crying out loud'. He knew the chances it's going to be human is slim, so he checked the candidate who might has the best chance on giving off an energy like that.
'King Boo, maybe, but he is still trapped in a painting right? Prof. E. Gadd sealed him up. So unless he escapes like before, it shouldn't be him… If he is, Professor would've contacted me and blow my ears off with 'CRIMINY!'. Heh, good times', he smiled at the thought of his previous adventure. Apparently, King Boo has escaped from his prison, and kidnapped Mario, again. In order to save his bro, he had to check five mansions in a row! But he pulled through, and defeated King Boo, again, as well as forming bonds with the ghosts of Evershade Valley. Though, even if they are all his friends now, that doesn't mean he doesn't tremble like crazy in the inside upon seeing one, like Boos.
His thoughts then went back to possible candidate of this… problem. The Aurum is a safe bet, as they are alien species, thus having unknown energy. This could be a trap set for him, but he will be careful. Master Hand said it takes Pit and THREE gods to defeat them. How he'll defeat a entire army of aliens he has no clue. He made a self-note to NOT be seen. Gosh, he is sure he doesn't want to get barbequed tommorow… And being a victim to a massacre isn't funny.
And then he thought about Master Core.
He had never told anyone about it. Master Hand told him to keep it a secret. After he destroyed Master Core, he exploded in a huge explosion. Big enough to convince anyone that he didn't survive. But judging by the sheer power Luigi faced in him, it is possible that he managed to survive somehow. But was his Fire Jump Punch was not enough? He had put almost all of his remaining power in his fiery uppercut, but was that not enough?
Luigi lifted his right hand up, and took off the glove of his left hand. Upon seeing the hand, he was greeted by numerous bruises sitting on. They don't hurt at all, it's just marks after he had battled Master Core. However, Luigi is bothered at the moment. He had pushed his hand to this state, yet he feels that it is yet to be enough…
Luigi then put his glove back, and decided it's time for dinner. He grabbed his key, unlocked the door, and locked the door again after he has passed it. As he closed his door, he put his key back to his overalls, and started to jog to the dining room, while slowly humming a song to himself. This song reminded him a lot about his trusty weapon, Poltergust 5000. After gaining power of Smash Ball, he had found out that his Poltergust 5000 gained an upgrade, now it has super-strong vaccuming ability, and was registered to be his new Final Smash. Though, the upgrade is only active when Luigi is manisfesting the Smash Ball's power. Even then, Poltergust 5000 is still rad at ghost-hunting, and he is proud to be its owner. Prof. E. Gadd decided it would be best if Luigi hold onto it.
His thoughts drifted off to the smashers. Since the first invitation from Master Hand, the smashers has been increasing from invitation to invitation. This is the fourth one, and there are 51 smashers already. Comparing that to the first invitation's tweleve, he felt that Smash Bros. has gone a long way. He was one of the 'Original 12', and that is the very first group of smashers. It was consisted of Mario, Link, Kirby, Samus, Captain Falcon, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Ness, Fox, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, and himself. Almost all of them were strangers to each other, but as they fought, talked, and laughed together, all of them are now tied to a very strong bond. He smiled at the thought, but quickly hid it to prevent anyone seeing him and beginning to think he has rabies.
Luigi then continued to doze off in his mind, not paying attention where he is going and…
Bragh!
Luigi, surprised, was stumbled back and landed on his butt due to the recoil of his crash. As he groaned lowly, he picked himself up and looked at who, or what, has he crashed to.
As he looked up, he saw a woman wearing blue, long-sleeved dress, a familiar silverly crown and long haired blonde hair, and that unmistakeable face, laying on the ground as well.
"…Rosalina?", Luigi stated, while quickly getting up and extending a hand to her.
"Oh… I… I'm sorry. I wasn't looking where I'm going", he said while rubbing the back of his head with his free hand, loosening his focus a bit.
"O-Oh, it's alright, Luigi. I myself am not looking where I was going either", Rosalina said, while taking Luigi's hand.
Luigi pulled her up, finding her surprisingly light, but then he brushed off the thought of her weight. 'No no no, Luigi, you KNOW women are NOT pleased to see me wonder of their weight', his mind trailed off to his other memory, where… Mario had the 'who-knows-where-he-found-it' guts to ACTUALLY ask Peach about her weight.
And he regretted it. Hard. But decided it's no time for such things, Luigi cleared his mind, now looking at the galactic princess. "Uh… so… I'm sorry again. I was thinking about things that I didn't pay attention where I was walking", apologized Luigi despite already doing so earlier, which Luigi doesn't know the reason either.
"It's alright Luigi. You don't need to apologize twice. I'm to blame as well", said Rosalina. "And by the way, where were you going?".
"Just going to the dining room, it's almost time for dinner", answered Luigi.
"What a coincidence, I was about to make a trail to the dining room as well", replied Rosalina with smile forming on her face. "How would you fare if we go there together?".
Luigi nodded, "Yeah, great idea! I could use the company", Luigi smiled, then pointed to a direction and said, "Well, let's go. We don't want to be late". Then both of them walked to the dining room.
It was a silence between them. Rosalina then decided to break it and spoke up, "So, how is life going for you, Luigi?".
Luigi looked up to her and said, "Nothing unusual, but tomorrow I have to go investigate about the strange energy in Smash Forest Master Hand had recently picked up". Rosalina raised her eyebrow, "Oh? And for what reason would it be? I'm not meant to offend you, but I think someone like Sonic or Captain Falcon would be better suited for the job because, well, you know, their speed…", Rosalina then thought about her first time meeting them. She couldn't believe such creatures that can actually run at the speed of that very sound existed.
Luigi, on the other hand, now had to think fast, 'Uh-oh, I couldn't possibly tell her about Master Core, or else she'll freak out. Come on Luigi! Dig your mind now! What reason, what reason…".
"Errr… Master Hand said that I… I was better at camouflaging myself in the forest!", he said, before mentally kicking his face when he realized what the heck did he just got off of his mouth.
'For the love of… What words that just rocketed out of my mouth? There's no way she is falling for this now, maybe I should ru-', but his thoughts were interrupted by Rosalina, unconvinced fully, but still taking it in, "Uh… O…kay… That makes sense… I guess", she said with a hand below her chin, questioned look on her face, but refused to show it to Luigi as she looked up while doing so. Luigi gave a mental sigh of relief, 'Miracles happen I guess".
Not fond on dwelling on his secrecy, he quickly changed the subject, "Er… so back at you, what have you been up to these days?". Rosalina turned to him, "Nothing unordinary, except that I sent the Lumas home for a while".
Luigi raised an eyebrow, "And why exactly?".
"They got homesick", Rosalina replied, "And there are no battles scheduled tommorow for me anyway".
Luigi slowly nodded, as his thoughts drifted off to the Lumas. Rosalina indeed brings a Luma everytime she is in battle, even though she is already an ass-whooper by herself. But looks can decieve, Luma's attacks were so strong that some can't believe those are coming from a little star with limbs…
As he thought about them, they didn't realized that they are actually already passed the dining room. Both of them mentally face-palmed before entering the room.
"I guess we must part. See you soon Luigi", Rosalina waved off.
Luigi did the same, and headed out to finish his own objective.
*Later…*
Luigi exited out of the dining room while yawning and stretching his body. He made his way to his own room. He was ready for some sleep, if only there wasn't…
"Eh?", Luigi muttered out. "What's this sign?". Luigi observed the wooden sign that was placed in front of his door. 'Luigi. Take your bag and head into the office. Your room is unusable as of now -Master Hand', it said.
Luigi noticed two bags, his tube-shaped bag and backpack, just beside the door. Luigi picked them up as he wondered, 'Huh. What's up now?'. Luigi rolled his eyes as he made his way upstairs, 'I hope this isn't going to be bizarre…'.
Master Hand was dozing off on his table when someone knocked on the door. "Come in", he muttered, as Luigi emerged from the door. He was about to open his mouth when Master Hand immediately spoke, "I know what you are going to ask. About your room, correct?". Luigi just nodded, as he walked closer to the gigantic hand.
"Ahem", Master Hand cleared his throat (Does he even has one?), "Thing is. Your room is rendered unusable for now. Worry not though, as your properties had been moved to the bags you are carrying now".
"Why? Did someone C4-ed the whole thing?".
"Errhhhh… It's confidential, so I cannot tell you".
"Oh! Come on! That was MY room! What's secret could be possibly so horrendous that you have to hide me in the dark for this?".
"Trust me. It's not pretty. You better off not be informed of this so you don't have nightmares later…".
Luigi sighed, "Fine… But where am I gonna sleep today?".
"How does on the floor sound to you?".
Luigi gave Master Hand a look.
"Kidding. Here is where you are going to sleep today", Master Hand pulled an envelope, as he gave it to Luigi, which gave him a questioned look". It will direct you to a room, that's where you will sleep".
As Luigi tried to open the letter though, Master Hand pushed him out from the office, "And open it outside", as he slammed the door behind Luigi. Luigi was dumbfounded for a second, before opening the envelope and finding a paper inside.
"Right from the office, head downstairs and… What? This isn't a treasure hunt", Luigi commented before shrugging it off while following whatever direction he read.
After some followings, he read out the last sentence, "Now turn to the left, take 16 steps forward, and to the right is your destination…", Luigi did as it said, and he ended up in front of a door. No doors are labelled with the Smasher's names, much to everyone's chagrin. 'Laziness's at its best…', Luigi sighed.
He hesitated for a bit before knocking on the door.
"Come on in!", a voice called from the inside.
Luigi snapped, 'Why does it sound like a girl's voice!?'. He shakily touched the door knob, 'Get a grip Luigi. Master Hand wouldn't send you to a girl's room… right? But then again, this is friggin' Master Hand we are talking about'. Luigi turned the knob, gulped, and opened it slowly.
He stuck his head out of the barely opened door. He looked straight, to see someone sitting on a chair, turning their head to the door.
They both stared at each other for good 5 seconds.
"…Luigi?", Rosalina muttered out.
And that's when Luigi's jaw drop to the floor. "AGH!", he shouted while quickly closing the door, being careful not to slam it too hard.
He quickly ran at animatic speed right to the front of Master Hand's office. He quickly knocked on the door. Before Master Hand can finish his 'Come in', he already opened the door, and slowly closed it. When the door clicks, his face bolted to right in front of Master Hand.
"WHAT WHAT WHAT!?", he shouted. "What were you even thinking!?".
"So, did you find the room?", Master Hand simply asked, not answering or hearing that last outburst.
Luigi pulled his head, and slammed it to his palm, "Room is an understatement".
Master Hand simply shrugged, "The point is that you found it. So pack your butt up and get going".
Luigi placed a hand to the desk, "You aren't seriously telling me to sleep with a girl, right?".
"Frankly, I'm out of ideas. If I put you in another man's room all we will get is tommorow is a huge hole on the wall".
"…Why are you so sure about that?".
"You didn't know that some of them are irked on how you completed Classic for the first time? Yeah. A 50m diametre hole confirmed then".
Luigi paused at the mention of Classic, then he sighed, knowing he has nothing for his rebuttal, "Fine. But this better not get sprialing out to nowhere…".
Master and chuckled, "Oh no, it won't. She's a calm one".
"…Like I'm oblivious". Luigi then grabbed his bag and exited the room.
Master Hand watched as the door clicked in place. He then smiled.
"Perfect".
TWO ****ING MONTHS!
TWO ****ING MONTHS!
TWO ****ING MONTHS!
Crap. I'm sorry for the long wait! I lost motivation on this story for a while there. I... kinda got too far. I already have ideas on the next parts, it's just I can't get past this one part... See that *Later...*? I meant it to be a scene, but I decided to just say 'Bleep it'. I'm stuck on that part, and hadn't worked on it for a long time! And guess what? When yesterday I looked on how sappy it is, I just erased all that and put a single word and be done with it. Yes, I'm that crazy.
And if any of you haven't heard of yet (I doubt it...), a legend had passed away. The president of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata. R.I.P. Mr. Iwata. May your legacy be known forever thoughout generations of gaming... You sir, are an inspiration to us. May you rest easy in paradise.
