Don't hate me after this, please...

Chapter 2
"Bowser! What the heck are you doing in my castle!" Bowser was, without a doubt, the absolutely very last person any three of us wanted to see, especially Peach. I do not think she would even have cared if he died on the spot.
And Peach never wished the death of anyone-not even Bowser.
"I am here to claim my soon-to-be-queen," he replied coolly, "Without mustache freak here anymore, we can be together because nothing is in the way now."
Was this a joke? Is Bowser that delusional? It has been twenty years of constant kidnapping and he never caught on?
Plus, he just insulted Mario. Normally, Mario and I were accustomed to his insults.
But today...I was not going to stand for it.
I becoming more and more enraged just looking at him now. I could feel the sparks in my fingertips, electricity was building inside me.
Bowser casually strode the long hallway toward us, more toward Peach though, while I moved myself in front of Peach.
Bowser snickered, "Well well well, it seems the scared brother of Mario wants to feel like a hero! You make me laugh!"
I could take the insult, it would not be the first time I was being referenced to a scared person.
But not today, today is different. He killed my brother right in front of me and from wherever Mario is, he is counting on me!
"You can do it, Luigi!" That voice, was it Mario? It sounded just like him! But where?
Whatever, I must be hearing things. I had bigger things to take of.
"I am going to be brave now, for Mario," I whispered to myself. I bent my knees and sprung forward to the threatening Dragon Koopa.
Bowser only smiled evilly, "Let's see what ya got, frail-cat!"
He launched fire at me that I could not dodge very well, so already I ended up scorched as the fire dropped me to the floor.
This did not amuse the fearsome king, "This is pathetic! Your retarded brother was better than this on a sick day!"
I scowled as a rush of hatred helped me jump back up, "Shut up!" Electricity built up in my hand and into the form of ball. I holstered it and threw at the Koopa King with all my might...direct hit. But it only enraged Bowser as he called it a cheap shot, "You'll pay for that, plumber boy."
"He needs help," Daisy argued.
"Yes, I was thinking the exact same thing," Peach agreed, "Let's go."
Bowser relentlessly fired fireball after fireball. "I'll show you cheapness," he bellowed. It seemed to me that there was no way I could close in on him, unless he stopped...
Suddenly, crystals sprouted from the floor and headed straight for Bowser. He saw it coming at the last second and barely avoided the barrage. Then I saw Peach soar in the air and firmly grabbed her crown and brought it down with one swift motion.
Bowser growled as he felt the fresh cut near his snout. He thought this would be easy. He expected this to be a simple grab-and-run; but no, all three of them were fighting back. Mario's death was supposed to be devastating enough to crush their spirits.
But it seemed like they have a stronger spirit.
I seized the standstill moment to utilize his hammer; I wanted to finish this now. Gripping my hammer tightly, I super jumped and raised his hammer. When I was directly vertical from Bowser, I moved my weight so that I would fall straight down. This was it, I was going to end it. Right now.
"For Mario!"
I expected to hear a gruesome bonk, but instead I heard a fearsome clang. I finally landed on the ground and stood to look at the damage I had supposedly done.
Nothing. Bowser was snickering with his new weapon: elongated, sharpened claws. "You like it? Kamek does wonderful things with his magic." Bowser rushed at me and at once swiped me. The attack had me spiraling in the air out of control and ultimately into a wall that could not handle the pressure as it crumbled and broke. The force of it was incredible and the pain from it hurt like nothing I have felt before.
Bowser laughed menacingly as he picked the princess up, "Looks like I win. Let's go Peachy."
"No," she cried, "Let me go!" Bowser's grip had her hands and arms in a bundle, and her legs and feet were too short to kick him with.
"I'm coming," Daisy hollered. Daisy crystallized her hand and tried to punch Bowser, but the blow was parried by his intimidating claws.
"Not even your clinically insane friend can help you, darling."
While Peach wiggled to free herself, Daisy kept flurrying punches while Bowser would just block each and every one of them...That is until Bowser grabbed Daisy and started crushing her, "You are getting on my nerves, you know that?" If Daisy was not losing her oxygen supply so quickly, she would have snapped back.
It horrified Peach to see this happening, "Bowser stop!"
Instantly, Bowser stopped tightening his grip-at which Daisy was able to breath again, "Oh and why should I?"
"Because I'll..."
"You'll..."
"I'll...do whatever you want..." Peach cursed herself for saying such things, but for Daisy's sake...
Bowser seemed enlightened to hear this, "I knew one day I would be married to you."
"Peach...don't," Daisy gasped weakly.
Bowser ignored her and continued his ranting, "We'll wed as soon as we get to my castle." He then turned his attention to Daisy, "And you...I'll think of something. If you try anything, you twit, it will be severe. Gah ha ha ha!"
While Bowser was busy feeling the most victorious dragon koopa in the entire kingdom, he failed to remember something and it caused him to feel a shocking and burning sensation at the same time, all the while losing his grip on both princesses.
Bowser was so mad that his was literally on fire, "Who in there right mind...!" His attention turned to the demolished portion of the wall.
You did not expect me to lose, did you? I'm the brother of Mario!
Implying that I am ticked is by far an understatement, I was furious!
"I am going to make sure you die, just like your brother," Bowser growled in the most menacing way I ever heard. I stood bravely as Bowser started running at me.
Everything seemed to go into slow motion now. I took in all of the surroundings: the battle torn room, the many demolished statues and pillars, the anger-driven, long clawed dragon koopa, a terrified Princess Peach, and Daisy, the one I swore to protect even for my life. All these things swirled in my head. This is now or never. I'd either win against Bowser...or die trying...I clutched the stilt of my hammer very tightly and as I peered at it, another gloved hand was placed on top of mine-transparent, but visible. I was shocked to see it but as I looked to see who it is...
"Mario," I gasped.
He looked at me and smiled. Was this really him? Was I imagining things?
"You can beat him, Luigi. I believe in you." Then, as quick he appeared, he disappeared. I did not know if it was real or not, but I do know one thing:
Mario believes in me.
Bowser brought his claw back and swung it forward. What he wanted hear was tearing sound, but instead he heard a clang sound. His claw was parried by Luigi's hammer. He applied more force, but so did Luigi. Then Bowser saw something strange and it occurred in Luigi's eyes. He had only seen it in Mario's eyes before every time the two of them fought:
Fire. Not the kind of fire that burns trees and such, but the fire that represented passion. Passion that Bowser saw every time he and Mario confronted; passion that drove Mario to stop at nothing to rescue the princess...And he saw that in Luigi.
For once since this whole fight started, Bowser felt fear; the fear of losing.
Bowser quickly jumped back. He had to end this now. Bowser held his breath, charging his fire for one last major attempt to win...
Bowser was totally unaware of the fact that Daisy pressed her hand on the floor, which sprung forth crystals in front of Bowser. The surprise attack caused Bowser's charged fireball to shoot up rather than at the plumber. While Daisy called the attack successful, a portion of the ceiling fell...and just any portion of the ceiling...the portion directly above Luigi...
"LUIGI!"
I was so focused on Bowser that it never occurred to me that the ceiling above me was falling. I should have moved, but I was frozen in my spot. The faster falling ceiling reminded me of that Bullet Bill from the other day...And again I found myself in the same position as before, only this time there was no Mario...
I expected to feel a thousand pounds of solid concrete to crush my every bone in my body, and eventually to my death...but it never came. No, some outside force pushed me out of the way just in time.
Bowser, on the other hand, stared in horror. He tried to speak, but whatever he was going to say never came out and he just ran. He ran faster than I have ever seen him run.
Daisy also continued to stare at the fallen piece of ceiling, she too said nothing.
It was not until I noticed one single item the how dire the situation was:
A crown...that belonged to Princess Peach...
Peach...died saving me...
I hope no one hates me for this...
Ciao!
