Episode 15

Mario and Spiky Joe are huddled together, sleeping like a Mustachioed baby and a red shelled bug huddling together for warmth while sleeping. Ultra is eagerly waiting for Luigi to continue his story, and occasionally stops Mario from doing anything embarrassing.

Luigi: What? ...Oh, yeah, so next part: Twilight Trouble. Me and To- Gr, I mean, Torque and I went down the pipe to Twilight Town. Upon our arrival, we saw an unexpected site...

You were right, Bro., it was covered in Twilight... The book and movie, Twilight! I'm sorry to you fans, but I really didn't enjoy the book or movie. It's a nice concept 'n' all, but I just can't get into it.

As I looked at it, I had a sort of frownie face on. One of the villagers saw me and asked why I was frownie faced. I told him that I didn't exactly like how the town was covered with posters, stands, balloons, and all other sorts of Twilight merchandise. He asked why and I told him that it doesn't look suitable for one who is not a fan. He said, "Why? Are you not a fan?"

And I replied that I was not a fan, that I did not really like the book. Especially that little birth sequence part, that disgusted me. And, uh, well... He got angry, and yelled a word, and other villagers came in the scene, and, uh... They started attacking me, Bro.! All I said was I didn't like it, and I was getting attacked!

Torque: You said more than that, Luigi...

Luigi: Uuuuhhh... Well... Yeah, but.... Well, I was getting chased around town and wound up running into the forest. The angry fans stopped chasing me, and I continued on through the forest.

Boy, I'll say, that forest was creepy. There were cute Dayzees in there, but they were enemies, so I had to fight them. I can't tell you how many times I fell asleep like you are doing now.

Mario: Zzzz... Rotisserie...

Luigi: Yeah, weird, huh? Even creepier was I kept hearing monsters, and I kept thinking one was gonna jump out, but none did. I almost jumped out of my overalls when I fell down a hole in the ground! But, it wasn't all bad. There was a Magical DS Piece in that hole, and another one was behind a black bush.

About that bush, it was all weird... I poked it, and it felt kinda furry and soft... And it grumbled when l did... And it was snoring, which is weird, because bushes don't normally snore... Unless it's one of those Black Sleeping Bushes...... No, l didn't make that up!

So, then there was this mansion. Boy, me and mansions, gotta love it... X( Inside there was this statue of a Magical DS Piece, but there were broken parts of the statue all over the ground near it... But, the statue looked perfectly intact... Maybe the sculptor didn't clean up after himself?

Oh, and there was a Boo there, too... Rhyme..... Or, well, maybe another Boo, or two thousand... See, l found a chest. I opened it, and a whole lot of Boos flew out. The last one asked me how many came out, and I guessed 2,000... He said I was wrong, and dropped a hammer on my head! The hammer was made of some iron thing, so it really hurt, Bro.! Actually, it kinda looks like the one your Golden Hammer Bro. keeps eying...

Ultra: Huh? What? I don't wanna steal his hammer?

Luigi: Oh, OK, just saying. So, anyway-

Ultra: Can I have your hammer?

Luigi: ...Uh... About that.... When I got to the top of that mansion and saw the bell, I thought, "Oh, cool, a bell! Hm, I'm sure it wouldn't hurt if I banged it one little time." So, I charged up my hammer, and gave one good whack on the bell. I kinda hit it a tad too hard and, um... It kinda span all round and was ringing a whole bunch of times, and lastly banged into Torque and I and we fell out of the mansion! Luckily, we landed on another Black Sleeping Bush, but I couldn't find the hammer! I lost it!

That Boo who gave me the hammer said, "Hey, hey, HEY! You cracked the bell! And lost the HAMMAWHACK 2005! You owe me 8,000 coins total for that antique stuff!"

I then replied with, "Oh, now the debt I'm in is over 9,000!!!" I really have money troubles, huh, Bro.? *sigh* So, I got off the Black Bush, which was then growling loudly. I had no idea what was going on with these Black Bushes, snoring, growling, and being furry. But now that I think about it, it might have been a Tired Dog...

Hmmm.............. Oh, what? Yeah, so we got out of the forest, and when we got back to Twilight Town, the place was inhabited by pigs! That was really weird, they were all, "Oink oink!" and stuff! Then, the pigs started attacking me, so I got out of there as quick as possible.

When we got out of the pipe, we were safe. So, we checked the next location of the Magical DS Piece... Oh yeah, and l forgot to mention that we found another in the bell room, for your information. Yeah, so we had all but one now. We checked and saw that the next location was a figure-8 road. Torque recognized it immediately. It was Circuit Break Island! We were gonna have to go back there!

Torque said that he hopes I don't wreck the car again... Yeah... Well, that's it for Part 2, Twilight Trouble. You think we got enough time for another?

Ultra: Hm, 5,000 characters so far seems iffy if we can fit another... Let's try it, 'K?

Luigi: Okey-dokey, then. Part 3, Broken Circuits! We got on a boat and went back to Circuit Break Island, where the karts are hot, and the smoke is lung blackening. We entered ourselves in and were recognized instantly. Everyone started eying us, probably thinking if I'll mess up again... Erm...

So, when they showed the trophy, lucky day, it was a Magical DS Piece! Game Developer's Convenience sure does help a lot, huh, Bro.? So, we knew we had to win.

Torque wasn't sure on who he should let drive. He didn't want me to race, he thought I'd crash. I insisted that I could do it right without any crashing of the vehicle I'm riding. He agreed and let me race. He wasn't worried about the vehicle, he could build one in no time.

So, some hours passed, and he got the vehicle ready! He called it the Big Green 02, based off of the capabilities of the first, but significantly enhanced to include better handling. The race was starting soon, so we got it to our starting position. I strapped myself in and was ready to do good!

3,2,1, and it started! The race was great! I started out in last place, but I quickly gained on the pack! Zoom! Past the Little Shooter! Zoom! Past the Masher Mon03! Zoom! Past the Infernos Speeder! Zoom! Past the... Uh, I forget the name, but it was blue and was number 07... Anyway, I zoomed into first, dodging all the missiles, rockets, and bullets flying my way! It was like playing Vigilant 8, but it was a race, and not a game! Well, it kinda was a game, but it's more so called a sport.

Well, continuing, I finished in first place! And I, uh, didn't crash once! Nope no damage, yeah!

Torque: OK, hold up... He's not telling you it right. Let me... When he "insisted" on letting him drive, he was down on his legs and begging again. Man, I'm so soft on beggars, so I had to let him drive.

When he started the race, he peeled out, so that's why he started in last. He didn't crash the first second, that's good, but he only got in first because the other racers got distracted on the Infernos Speeder. That guy got on all the racers' nerves, and made them decide to stop racing and have the Infernos Speeder retire, then continue the race.

Luigi ignored all the hoopla, and miraculously avoided all the explosions and stuff. If it weren't for that Infernos Speeder distracting everyone, Luigi would've lost, I'm sure. But, a win's a win, so Luigi did finish first, but of course, he got all happy and starting waving his hands at the crowd, but he wasn't paying attention to where he was driving, so he crashed into a tree.

Clichéd, yes, but it happened. The damage wasn't as bad as last time, so it was only a 1,900 coin fine. He couldn't pay, of course, so he's in 15,000 coins of debt total so far. Augh...

Luigi: ....Er, yeah.... So, we got the Marvelous Compass Piece and... Oops, heh, I mean... So, we got the Magical DS Piece as reward for the win. When we were leaving, we saw some sort of bird with yellow attire smiling at us, then disappearing behind a building. The first thing I thought of was, "G-Bird."

Now, we're trying to find someone to decipher the text on this map, so we can correctly reassemble the Magical DS.

Well, that's it for Part 3, Broken Circuits. And that's all I have for stories now.

Mario: ZzZzzZzzz... uh, do... Oh?

Mario awakens and stands up.

Mario: Yes, quite a riveting story you got there, Wee Gee. I'm sure it'll help on our sleep. So...

Mario kicks Spiky Joe to wake him up.

Spiky Joe: 14/15 HP

Mario: Let's go off to Russ T. so we can decipher our own map, yes?

Luigi: Oh yeah, Russ T.! He can decipher my map, too! But, you probably need it more now, so me 'n' Torque-

Spiky Joe: "Torque and I."

Luigi: D'ooohh, Torque and I... are gonna go see what's up at Koopa Village. The radio said there's a spokesperson there giving out prizes for listeners.

Luigi walks off to the east exit of Toad Town, off to Pleasant Path.

Mario and his crew walk off to the west to see Russ.
