Chapter 8
"Master Luigi, you cannot go on this quest alone," Toadsworth argued, "You are going to need all the help you can get."
"No, you need all the help you can get with restoring the Mushroom Kingdom," I replied boldly, "Besides if anyone were to come with me- they would most likely end up dead anyway."
"Master Luigi, I am appalled! Why would you say something like that!"
"Do not ever realize that those closest to me- something bad happens to them," I snapped back, "Mario and Peach are both dead, Birdo, Birda, and Birdette almost died,, and Yoshi nearly just survived being attacked by an insane Bowser!" I hurriedly walked to the door, "And Daisy...Daisy was taken away from me. No, it is me they want. And they are using those I care about as a way to hurt me. I am going to go find them."
"And what will you do when you find them," Toadsworth asked.
I stopped at the doorway- Toadsworth asked the question that I was not sure of myself, "Bowser...I do not know. Mr. L on the other hand..." I clenched my left hand, "Should have disappeared a long time ago." That was the last statement I made with Toadsworth before I left the castle. I reached Toad Town and felt a tear in my heart, the residents were living in the worse condition they ever encountered. Some were asleep in rags in the middle of the road, others were sleeping everywhere else, and still others were 'sleeping' along with them. The houses were still being built, but at a much slower pace then before. The children were not playing, some were very sickly. As much as I could go on about the mess this place was in, I had to go with a heavy heart.
I made a silent promise to all of the Toads, all the citizens who had to suffer because of my shortcomings, "I promise to make this all the way it was supposed to be."
Little did I know that I was also being watched by menacing eyes as I continued off into the fields near the demolished Toad Town.
Luigi's biggest concern as he walked through Mario Circuit was Daisy's well being. It was literally killing him to not know if Mr. L was torturing her, killing her, raping her, whatever. More sinister thoughts coursed through Luigi's head as he was becoming more upset, frustrated, and angry all at the same time.
Luigi's second biggest concern was not having a first clue as to where either Bowser or Mr. L may be hiding. As Luigi continued to think where those two might be, he noticed a shady character walking around the circuit. Curious, he cautiously walked over to the person. "Um excuse me..."
No response.
"Hello..."
No response. Luigi was about to give up when the mysterious person finally spoke.
"It pains me. It really does, to know that there will not be any more Grand Prixs anymore." The figure turned slowly to Luigi, in which creep-ed him out, "A guy that looks like you told me to give this to you." The figure handed him a note; Luigi eagerly took it. He looked up to thank the figure, but he was already to far away to be heard. Luigi then carefully read the note:
A game you and I will play,
Beat the game and maybe you will save the day.
The world is in turmoil; and it begins with you,
But the Toads suffer more than us two.
If there dashing hero were to go to them right now,
You could find your troublemaker and give him a pow.
-Mr. L
P.S: I will let you know that Daisy is safe and sound.
At the moment anyway.
I scratched his head, was this some kind of joke to him? The good news to me was that Daisy was safe- for a while- and the only way to keep it that way is to probably cooperate with him.
The bad news was that if Mr. L was telling the truth, there were Toads that needed help right at this moment. But where exactly?
You could probably figure the riddle out easily, but where do you suppose Luigi must go?
I will update as much as possible, and you all should stay awesome as much as possible.
Ciao!
