"All right, we're in." Luigi exhaled shakily.

He slowly crept down the doomship's hallway before jumping around a corner, avoiding a pair of casually patrolling guards. Sneaking down the hallway again, Luigi came to the command room. Taking a deep breath, Luigi pulled out the green hammer and swung back.

Inside the command room, the Koopa Commando smiled. His troops were looking for Luigi, Rosalina was held captive in Baby Bowser's flagship near the Toy Time Galaxy, (Figures) and he was soon to be promoted! Life was just great.

KA-BAM!

Turning around, the commander paled. Life was no longer great. It was in the toilet.

(INCOMING DOOR!) Luma called out with a giggling voice.

WHAM!

With the commander successfully knocked out by a two inch thick steel door, Luigi and Luma ran into the room, bashing Koopas, Goombas and Hammer Bros. left and right. Within moments, the command deck was successfully captured, meaning there was only one thing left to do. Taking a deep breath, Luigi brought his right hand's first two fingers to his throat while picking up the ship's microphone.

"ATTENTION ALL BADDIES!" Luigi spoke over the loudspeaker in a Koopa-like voice. "WE HAVE CAPTURED THE GREEN PLUMBER MUSTACHE GUY! REPORT BACK TO THE SHIP AND PREPARE TO LEAVE THE AREA!"

The Bei's and Mandabugs looked horrified while all the baddies grinned. Running back to the ship, they boarded and waited in the bunkers. Luigi waited until all the troops were back on the ship before closing the door. Grinning, he turned to Luma.

"Shall we?"

(But of course!)

Some Koopa Troopas got to the command deck and were about to ask what they would be doing to the plumber, but instead were greeted by a not-so happy sight. The Koopa Commando and the pilots were all tied up, their heads riddled with lumps and a little note on the chair behind them.

Freaking out, one of the Koopas grabbed the note and read it. His eyes growing smaller and smaller with each line, the other Koopa asked what happened.

"We're about to make a jump..." He said crying anime tears.

"Eh?" The other Koopa said as his eyes suddenly shrunk.

Luigi and Luma watched as the doomship suddenly disappeared in a flash of light. Grinning, Luigi turned to Luma.

"So! What'd ya think of the doomship's warping ability?"

"It was cool! I wonder what it would have been like if we were still on it?"

"Nothing really. Kinda like going into a warp-pipe. You feel your body being sucked up like a vacuume and then it suddenly stops. But with warp-pipes, you get thrown out of it because you've built up so much momentum." Luigi explained. (A/N: Read 'Omnia Causa Fiunt' by Myrrddin, his description ability, ESPECIALLY with warp-pipes, is AMAZING! READ IT!)

After returning to the Queen's resting area and explaining what had happened, Luigi waved goodbye to the Honeyhive Kingdom. Luma began circling him unti Luigi was covered in a white light. The area he was around was suddenly blasted by a shockwave as Luigi took off into space, Luma's energy helping him return to the Observatory.

~Observatory~

Luigi smiled as he walked around the observatory, a chilled shroom shake in his hand. He was given a break since he had already collected 7 stars since the Honeyhive Kingdom, and he was enjoying it as much as he could. Luma was sleeping somewhere while the other Star children were fixing up the Observatory. Since Baby Bowser's attack, alot of the rooms and pathways were cracked, making it difficult for Luigi to walk across. Since Luigi couldn't fly, and Rosalina had to set foot on ground every now and again, they began fixing up the place. Luigi walked past the kitchen, where he had just made not only his shroom shake, but over a hundred other meals, with some help from the Star children of course. They seemed to enjoy his company, saying 'Mommy's never made this before! What is it?' and 'Wow Mister! You're really good at making stuff! Can you make stuff with star bit pieces in it?'

Luigi enjoyed the challenge of breaking down the star bits, mixing them up and pouring them into drinks, snacks, and even, after a wierd suggestion by a Hungry Luma, Star bit cup-cakes. He never knew the Star children would explode if they were happy enough. Luckily they came back moments later saying 'THAT WAS AMAZING!' and 'CAN I HAVE ANOTHER ONE?' Needless to say, Luigi enjoyed himself.

Luigi passed by a Library, to which he was only allowed to read one book. The rest were 'Momma's books' and unless he had 'Momma's permission' he couldn't read anymore. So here Luigi was, reading a small book as he walked by a purple room. Curious, Luigi walked in to see Luma sleeping on a royal purple bed. Luigi realized it was Rosalina's bed and smiled. Walking back outside, Luigi sat against the door and began reading the book. As its contents danced in front of him, Luigi finally got an idea of who Rosalina was.

A lonely girl who became the Mother of many, and the Princess of the Cosmos.

Luigi felt sad as he closed the book. She had lost her mother when she was young, left her home to help a baby Luma find its mother, and instead became its mother. That Luma was now what he was sitting on, and where all lost Luma could come and find a mother. Now that he thought about it, the Observatory was kind of like an Orphanage for stars. Blinking, Luigi quickly flipped the book back open, and upon watching the words of his chosen chapter dance in front of him, his eyes grew wider and wider.

"That's...Mushroom Castle..." He said quietly. This now brought up numerous questions to Luigi's mind.

Was Rosalina a real Princess, or was she just a civilian? Did humans live in the Mushroom Kingdom at one time? Where were her father and brother now? Why did Luma come to her in the first place?

Those thoughts and more plagued Luigi's mind as he finished his drink and closed the book. Turning to the side, Luigi saw Polari floating up to him...well, rushing is more like it.

"Master Luigi! Master Luigi! I have terrible news!"

~Screen Room~

Luigi glared at the screen, his arms crossed and his mouth coming close to a snarl. Baby Bowser wanted to talk to him, asking for a visual transmission. The Koopa king's youngest son blipped onto the screen, with a tied up Rosalina behind him with four Koopatrols surrounding her. Luigi barely tensed upon seeing the woman, but the crying of the Star children and her current condition made him slowly leak electricity from his body.

"Well hello there wimp!" Jr. said grinning. "How're you guys doing? Is your ship looking better then it did when my troops BLEW IT TO BITS?"

"Can it brat!" Luigi barked, startling everyone, including Baby Bowser. "I don't have time for your childish antics! Now what do you want?"

Luma looked on in slight fear. He had never seen Luigi so serious. It actually scared him.

Baby Bowser frowned before snarling. "Shut up you wimp! You're no match for me! So give yourself up before I have my newest project beat you up!"

"Release Rosalina this instant you fiend!" Polari demanded.

"Nyeh Nyeh!" Jr. stuck his tongue at the star elder.

"Why you miserable little brat! If I ever meet you I'll show you a thing or two about-"

"Blah blah blah! I don't care! Wimp! Are you gonna give up or not?"

Luigi turned his head, hmph-ing as he turned towards the door. "If this is what you wanted to talk to me for, you're wasting your time. I already know why you've kidnapped her you brat, you did it to Peach, now you're doing it to Rosalina." Luigi suddenly turned around, a fierce glare in his eyes. "IF YOU WANT A MOTHER YOU DON'T KIDNAP HER!"

Baby Bowser flinched and took a step back before growling and slamming his fist on a button.

"NOBODY TELLS ME WHAT TO DO!"

Luigi, Rosalina, Polari, Luma and all the star children in the room stared with wide eyes as the Grand Star behind the group was suddenly shaking as a black tentacle-like creature snaked around and squezed the star, a high resonating sound reaching their ears.

"No! Stop!" Rosalina pleaded. "You're hurting it!"

KA-BLAM!

The group quickly turned around to see Luigi, his hand smashed into a nearby piece of machinery, his eyes slit green and a dark green glow covering his body. His canines slightly elongated and his body leaking out murderous intent. Jr. was trembling in fear while Rosalina was shaking slightly. The star children all around the room suddenly went behind Polari, shaking.

"YOU CHILD! YOU BETTER PRAY I DON'T FIND YOU! I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU GO THROUGH THE MOST ENDURING AND PAINFUL PUNISHMENT EVER THOUGHT OF IN THE COSMOS! HOW DARE YOU HARM THE GRAND STARS IN SUCH A WAY!" Luigi roared.

The sound of an explosion snapped everyone out of their terrified states. Jr. turned around to see one of his machines explode, making the strange black creature around the Grand Star disappear. Turning back to the screen, Jr. swore he saw a reincarnation of his dad in Luigi's eyes. But this wasn't the laughing dad that Jr. loved being around. No, this was like looking into his dad's eyes when he was beyond pissed, completely enraged and in a berserk-like mode. Jr. felt like he was surrounded by thousands of spears, standing on a tiny little platform, barely big enough to hold him up. These eyes, they were monstrous, they were demonic;

They were Feral.

Luigi now looked like some kind of animal looking into the eyes of the prey it was going to kill. Eyes that made the victim want to stab itself just to save it from the primal fear that rocked its very core.

The screen suddenly shut off, making Luigi leave the room, heading to the highest point of the Observatory. Polari slowly came out, followed by the other Lumas, and saw Luigi on the very top of the observatory. With a deafening roar, Luigi screamed upwards, his entire body being engulfed in electricity, which shot straight up into the blackish blue sky. The sky suddenly became a Light Green as Luigi's pent up rage spread throughout the space.

Baby Bowser looked out the window, Rosalina behind him as well as her gaurds, and saw the sky flash green. Jr. stared at the sky until it died down, shaking even after it had disappeared. He immediately turned around and pointed to one of his guards.

"YOU!"

The gaurds all jumped in attention, fear their most visible emotion instead of the calm, statue-like look they always gave.

"GET ROY AND LUDWIG HERE! NOW!"

The gaurd, not really caring at that moment that he would probably get yelled at later, turned around and bolted for the door. Rosalina was trembling slightly, but turning back to the Grand Star, she wondered.

'Why did the machine explode? Was it...'

'Yes dear child...it was he." The Grand Star said tiredly.

Rosalina nodded as she calmed herself down. Luigi had done that out of righteous rage. Now he had thuroughly scared Bowser Jr., and judging by the child's shaking, he wasn't going to stop anytime soon.

Luigi slid to the door to the Secret Garden area. He layed against the cream-colored top of the Observatory, his breathing heavy. Polari slowly floated up to Luigi, being very careful. As he got closer to Luigi, he heard sniffling, but not from the children.

"*sniff* P-polari..." Luigi started, tears running down the side of his face. "C-calm down the children, *sniff* and t-tell them, *sniff* tell them I'm s-sorry for scaring them. *sniff* And t-tell Luma, *sniff* we'll head back out after I wake up..." Luigi cried as he leaned against one of the poles next to the entrance.

Polari slowly floated over to the emotional plumber, patting his back and nodding his head.
