Done moving yet, DanceDream?

TatlTails: Glad you liked it. I worked hard to make it funny... I hope this one is funny as well, though the stories will be more serious and complicated... I'm not getting rid of the humor, though. That's staying no matter what. Something can be both silly and serious.

Faraday Fan: I never said you were wrong. Of course, I also never said you were right. No, I don't particularly like Pokemon, it seems kind of boring to me. Yep, it's a Zelda reference, you can expect a lot of those in this fic. He's not, he's just leaning on the fourth wall. Heh, do you really think he's going to do that?

Adventures of Mario & Sonic: Peach's Adventure

Reflection

He could deal with the heat.

He could deal with being hundreds of feet above a huge lake of lava.

He could deal with using skyscrapers and broken pieces of road as stepping stones.

The problem, of course, was that there were flying saucers flying through the city shooting energy pellet... things at him. He wasn't completely sure how that was physically possible.

Then Luigi reminded himself that he could shoot lightning from his hands and run on water, and was in no position to complain about physics.

The flying saucers fired once more; forcing Luigi to dodge once more.

It would be really helpful if he could see anything other than vague dark splotches through the smoke.

And I I stopped making one-line paragraphs... You know what? I'll just skip to the interesting part of this chapter.

He sat down on the floor, and began to read.

... Alright, fine. I'll tell you about his "daring" escape.

One of the energy blasts hit Luigi. It stung. Luigi screamed. He ran. He went in a building. He used a magic flower. He ran into a mirror.

Fine, I'll stop pretending to be a horrible writer.

A pellet of physics-defying energy smacked Luigi in the back, prompting him to scream as if he had been blasted by a pellet of energy (I wonder why). He took of through the city, hopping from a floating piece of building to a floating piece of sidewalk, neither of which struck him as weird.

Using his agility, Luigi ran around the edge of a circular building, narrowly avoiding the energy pellets by the small margin (in his opinion) of thirty feet. He hopped over pits of lava, made amazingly clumsy flips in midair, shocked the flying saucers obscured by the smoke with his thunder-hand, et cetera. As he was leaping through the air, he accidentally smacked into one of the flying saucers, and plummeted down towards a small building on the surface of the lava.

Luigi smashed through the roof made of non-inflammable wood, and looked around the small room. The only features were a door on one side that probably led straight to the lava, a mirror on the otherside, and the words 'Convection Schmonvection' painted above the door.

Luigi started to recall one of his past adventures... Thinking quickly, he took out what appeared to be a cartoonish daisy with a face, except with red petals instead of the expected white. He gripped the flower, absorbing its power and vanishing from sight. Quickly, Luigi ran at the mirror, passing through the glass to the other side. He opened the mirror door, and walked into the white void he knew was on the other side of every mirrored door.

As the Power Flower's effect wore off, Luigi closed his eyes and sighed in relief. Nobody but him could ever get here unless he brought them... Getting out was thankfully easy, though. As Luigi opened his eyes, he noticed that part of the white void looked a little off-white. He walked over, and saw that there was a sheet covering what seemed to be a book.

Taking off the sheet, he was greeted by a very familiar book.

"... My diary... Wait, if it's here, then I must be in... My future self must have left it here, knowing that only I'd be able to find it!"

Luigi flipped through the book until he found an entry he didn't remember writing. He sat down on the floor, and began to read.

It's all going downhill, diary. We came back from the future, but everything was all wrong. Mario was weak, he didn't have his star power... We... We LOST, diary... I just can't believe it. After all those times, we lost... And it just had to be one of the times everything was at stake... If only I could aim...

Luigi had been afraid of that... He resolved to do everything in his power to make sure that it ended differently this time. He moved on to the next entry

Sorry it's been so long, diary. Well, we managed to retrieve what was rightfully Mario's from that jerk... But all too late... The apocalypse has already started. Mario's gathering everyone he can in the Mushroom Kingdom, DK Isles, the Isle of Hags, Sarasaland, and the Beanbean Kingdom to try and get them off the planet... He's decided that if he can't save the world, he'll have to save the people.

Luigi was filled with dread... He was going to need to read how the world ended.

I can't believe Mario managed to get everyone into space... He's back now, but only to get the people from Sonic's world into space. I asked him where everyone else was, and he told me that they were safe and sound on Mars (apparently it's habitable in this world, like the moon... Well, the moon we see from Brooklyn, anyway).

Luigi sighed in relief. At least Mario had succeeded. He read on.

Diary, I... I need to do this. I... I can't believe it... When it comes to order and chaos, I've always been neutral... I'm just good. I'm not lawful like Toad, but I'm not chaotic like Sonic. I fear... I fear I may need to take a turn to the chaotic... Embrace chaos so I can restore the world...

Luigi had a feeling he knew what that meant. He didn't like it.

It's been so long... Nearly two years since I last wrote to you, diary. I... I'm sorry to say I've mastered the chaos... And I'm going to need to use it to travel... I can't save my world directly right now. I've discovered that the merger with Sonic's world is more than it seems. Rosalina lied... We aren't from separate planets, we're from different versions of the same planet: Earth. Our Earth, identified as 'the Mushroom World' or 'Plit', has an unusual and extreme aversion to forming alternate timelines... Everyone born here is the only version of themselves in the multiverse, and there are no others like us. At least, not until Sonic and Tails' Earth (sometimes called Mobius) merged with ours. Their world formed a rainbow of alternate timelines twenty years before the merge, for unknown reasons. When the worlds merged, our world gained the ability to form alternate timelines. Right when we came back, I accidentally split the timeline into three... One is the bad future, in one things continued normally (and I believe I actually remember reading this passage in that timeline), and in the other... Even I don't know yet, or how it happened...

Luigi had a hunch that his older self had mostly left that for his benefit... He couldn't figure out why he'd forget the infromation, though...

He turned the page, coming to the last entry in the diary.

I've just said goodbye to my friends. Sonic's the same as ever, Mario's busy on Mars, and Tails... Tails just discovered some latent powers of his. I'm definitely not worried about him getting in trouble anymore... His powers will make sure of that. Diary, I'm going to be leaving you here, behind the mirror... I know that I'll find you someday. For now, I bid you farewell... And one last parting note to my younger self: The split all depends on what you hit. You'll know when the time comes.

Luigi stared at the book... He knew all this couldn't happen in just two years... He had to have been gone longer than that. He sighed, tucking the book away in the same place he kept everything else. There was only one way to figure out what was going on, and that was to look for information. Thinking that the flying saucers were probably gone by now, Luigi exited the void beyond the mirror.
