Boy War (Chapter 1) Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Nintendo's characters names, maps or other qualities that belong to Nintendo.

Authors Note: I'd like to call this one the unexpected ending. With so much planned ahead, why does something so little effect him? Enjoy, well, read it, you can't really enjoy this bit...

I slowly exited the castle leaving them to whimper over the wounds, I was more superior then them, I will fight at any circumstances.

Skilfully avoiding all eye sight, he one found someone; Maddie.
He suddenly had a strange but relaxed feeling as he stared straight at his first love, and in hopes, the last. Maddie was obviously sat comfortably with her gun raised, busy killing from a distance. At no shock to her, she killed several Mario's troops at once; I chuckled evilly. She quickly looked at me, wondering why I was here. I stood up a wall and a slant. We were in some sort of abandoned house, with widows smashed and missing doors.

"Nice shoot you got there" I said, in a low, but love like way.
"Thanks...Jr...that is isn't it" suddenly I became uncontrollable as my body seemed to flow with happiness...

"She got my name right!" I carefully whispered. I didn't want her to notice but I didn't care, I loved her.

"Alright then lets get going we can't be seen here for too long, follow me" I said, I led here back to MY castle, not my dads, here we could run to the top and snipe without being noticed. We both hurried up the stairs, not our mind set on war but each other.

"I have something to say" we said in unison, we glanced at each other, but as I did I saw a a black figure in the fog...Mario.

"I love you. Maddie" I said rushed to get out of here, "now take my hand and don't let go" I had to lead her to safety, Mario would do anything to ruin her life to ruin mine. Bowser castle would be the best spot. I ran through the doors of my fathers bass and found all of my siblings there; Wendy too.

"Hey guys, don't explain about Wendy nor let me, just take Maddie and protect her, I love her. Only Ludwig come with me."

I explained as much as I could on the way to Mario. But nothing would be enough time for me to explain these feelings to anyone else but Maddie. We looked around to find no one until an shock then agonising pain in my back. I fell to the floor and saw the damage of the stab. I lay there staring over too my brother and my enemy battling for not power this time, but for love. My eyes were getting weaker the second, every beat of my racing heart told me I was still alive...for one more second.

"Hang in there Jr." Ludwig called, with little breath.

My eyes blurred. My thoughts blurred. My heart stopped.

End Note: Thats the end of this story. I know it wasn't the nicest of endings, I hate happy stories, there horrible. Anyway there is a little quote that want put in at the last bit, so here it is:

This war is like a picture of a heart,

When someone dies, so does a spec of that picture.
At the end of a war, all that is left is a picture of a broken heart that once was.
