... Did something happen, DanceDream?

TatlTails: Glad you like it. It's not the Dark Star room, it's... Something else.

Fyre Red: Cool. No, it's the TIME Key. It was rather the intention to sound awkward... I think you mean 'O jsbr dsmf om zu dpvld,' and that's kind of not cool.

I've started playing Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes. Haven't gotten to the Flash yet, unfortunately.

Sorry for short chapter, but there wasn't much to cover.

Adventures of Mario & Sonic: Peach's Adventure

Not So Super

Luigi slowly walked through the city, carrying his sleeping brother. What would he do now? What had Dimentio done to Mario? Something... Wasn't right. Mario never lost so easily...

... Then again, hadn't Dimentio died? How was he back... Last time, it seemed to have been time travel but... He couldn't be... Unless...

Dimentio played us all like chess pieces, Luigi realized, He relied on what we could do, planned ahead... He meant for all of this to happen... If we are to beat him, then... I don't know... What can we do, when he anticipates our every move?

Luigi sighed, before gripping Mario tighter and leaping to another road above the abyss of lava below. It would not do to make himself easily accessible to enemies... Especially with Mario in the state he was in.

Progress through the city was slow... Luigi just couldn't muster up the courage to run... Dimentio... What had Dimentio done to his brother?

Luigi sighed, and continued the slow walk through the city.

"Appl! Yjrtr Yjru str!"

Suddenly, a group of familiar, purple, mushroom-headed aliens surrounded the brothers and pointed ray guns at them.

"... Shroobs," Luigi growled, "What're you doing here? I thought I took care of you for good..."

"Eraa, upi ertr etpmh!" A Shroob that seemed to be the leader said, "Er'tr nsvl, smf nryyrt yjsm rbrt! Upit vtuomh epm'y dsbr upi yjod yomr!"

"I didn't need it to save myself then," Luigi said halfheartedly, "And I won't need to now. Take this!"

He thrust his hand out, and a spark of electricity appeared before fizzling out.

The Shroobs looked at each other, and began laughing.

"What the..." Luigi tried again, to the same result.

"Js, Js! Jr's dp iqdry snpiy jod ntpyjrt apdomh jod qpertd, jr vsm'y gohjy tohjy!"

"... So that's what he did..." Luigi trailed off.

"Luigi?" Mario said weakly as he woke up, "What's going on?

"Shroobs!"

"Shroobs?" Mario smirked, picking himself up off of the ground, "This'll be fun!"

"But, Mario, they-"

"ER fofm'y fp smuyjomh! Fozrmyop fof!"

"Oh, he did, did he?" Mario grinned, "Well, I guess I'll just have to put and end to that."

"Qtrqstr gpt nsyyar!"

"Rather an unfair fight, don't you think?" Mario said.

"Urd. Dp upi djpiaf kidy dsbr upitdrag yjr yjpinar smf dittrmfrt."

"Never said how it was unfair," Mario smirked, "Nobody can handle both of us! Let's go, Luigi!"

Luigi's eyes went wide, "Umm..." He rushed forward and grabbed Mario, "bye-see-you-later-gotta-go!" Luigi crouched down and jumped straight up, and then used the wall jump between two skyscrapers to reach the top. He ran as quickly as he could, jumping from skyscraper to skyscraper.

"What the heck, Luigi?" Mario yelled over the wind, "I could have taken them!"

"No, you can't!" Luigi said, "Mario, do you even know what Dimentio did to you?"

"Heck if I care."

"Mario, Dimentio stole your powers and gave them to Waluigi!"

"Since when have I-"

"Hang on!" Luigi jumped off the skyscraper they were currently on, falling towards a long, winding road below. He slammed down on the ground, causing the road to shake.

"Ooh..." Mario said, shaken, "... Well, that was uncomfortable."

Suddenly, a flash of blue zipped by.

"Sonic!" Luigi took chase as quickly as he could. He couldn't quite catch up with Sonic, but he did manage to catch Sonic's attention.

"Luigi?" Sonic slowed down to run next to Luigi, "Mario? Luigi, why are you carrying Mario?"

"Sonic, Mario-" Luigi was interrupted by an explosion behind him, "... On second thought, run. We'll find a safe place to discuss this."

"Might be a good idea," Sonic said amidst another explosion, "Wonder what's causing all the explosions..."

Tails smiled as he played with the young Shroobs.

"... Yjsy yjomh od dpzryjomh radr, odm'y oy?" One of the adult Shroobs asked another.

"... Oy od. Oy fprdm'y lmpe er'tr oyd rmrzord, dp oy sddizrd er'tr gtormfd..."

"Od yjsy s nsn yjomh?"

"Mpy trsaau, gpt id. Oy epm'y aolr oy, yjpihj."

"O ozshomr mpu."

"Hey guys," Tails got up, walking over to them, "Whatcha talkin' about?"

"Mpyjomh pg upit vpmvrtm."

"... Oh, right, can't understand a word you're saying," Tails said, "... Well, I'm going to go wash up now..." He left the room happily.

"Djpiaf er yraa oy yp trzpbr oy'd ersqpmd dppm?"

"Oy jsd ersqpmd?"

"Urd."

"... Ejsy fp upi yjoml yjr smdert od?"

"... Urd."

"Urq."
