Hi! Epic chapter title, eh? XD thanks to those who reviewed (and one of y'all were right with the guess!):

ImSpidey2—Thank you! Now I feel even more awesomer (if that's even a word) :D

Mouseshine—*nods* Ironic indeed.

lemmy koopa is awesome—Hi, thank you, and it miiiight be…XD

Mariogirl133—lol thanks! Everyone keeps complimenting my cliffhanger :D and I looked through your profile (don't kill me) and I saw that you're a fan of Warriors too! Love that series and I've read it twice :D I actually have a poll on my profile page about that, if you'd like to take it. Final Omen of the Stars book comes out April 4th!

Oh, and yes—the character that is the figure isn't exactly the figure…so technically the guess was right AND wrong…

So, now, all of your questions are answered: who is the mysterious figure? Who gave Lakitu poisoned food so he'd have a heart attack? Will Bowser Jr. ever learn to think before hitchhiking? (well maybe not that one. XD)

And I JUST REALIZED I NEVER PUT A DISCLAIMER. So I'm gonna do that now.

Disclaimer: I don't own Bowser, Bowser Jr., Kamek, Princess Peach, Luigi, Mario, or any other random character in here, but I DO own Neon and the idea of this story.

"Peach?" Bowser gasped. "What are YOU doing here? Did Mario set you up to this? You lose a bet or something?"

The princess tilted her head sideways. "Huh? I don't know what you're talking about. I was just taking my morning constitutional when all of a sudden I heard the most awful crashing noise! And then I came over this way." (A/N a constitutional is a walk.)

"Liar!" Bowser Jr. shouted. He whipped out his paintbrush and painted a cage to trap Peach. Seconds later, Peach was clutching the bars, glancing from side to side in horror.

"I'm not lying!" Peach shouted. "I told you, I'm as confused as you! What's made you so antsy all of a sudden?"

The villains were too busy celebrating to hear her. "WE CAUGHT PEACH!" Bowser cheered. "Even if she's not lying, we still caught her! Now let's go enroll you for the Games, son!"

"Wait!" Peach pleaded. "I haven't enrolled, either! I have to enroll! I have to enroll!"

"Should've thought of that before you meddled," Kamek snapped back.

Then a net shot out again, barely missing Neon.

The four friends exchanged glances. "P-Peach didn't shoot that…"

"I told you!" the blonde exclaimed triumphantly. "Now will you let me out?"

Another figure stepped out from the shadows, net shooter in hand. Cap fixed over his eyes. A huge, green 'L' on the middle of it. Peach shrieked.

"You guys aren't goin anywhere," Luigi snapped.

Bowser Jr. stepped forward. "Try and stop us," he challenged.

Luigi narrowed his eyes. "You doubt I can do it?"

"Why do you think it's Super Mario Bros.?"

"Why do you think your mom left you?"

"Why are you scared of ghosts?"

"Why are you so ugly?"

"What do you think the 'L' on your hat stands for? LOOOOSER!"

Luigi leapt at Bowser Jr., aiming for his throat. Bowser Jr. curled into a spike ball, and Luigi howled in pain as he landed on the spikes. "By the way," he hissed, recovering, "I sent the guy on the motorcycle. I gave Lakitu poisoned food so he would have a heart attack. I made the plane crash!"

Bowser Jr. came out from his shell. "What?"

"It's a trap!" Peach shrieked. But she was too late; Luigi kicked Bowser's son in the chest, and he went careening into a tree.

"Junior!" Bowser called.

His son didn't get up.

Bowser began to advance on Luigi, fire blazing in his eyes. Mario's words echoed inside his head: "Then he's dead. Bowser, you HAVE to understand that no matter what happens, life goes on."

Oh, how wrong he had been.

Then Luigi was down, being held by…Luigi?

Luigi was holding down Luigi?

The Luigi holding down Luigi cleared his throat. "UM, HELP!"

Bowser glanced over his shoulder; Neon and Kamek were with his son. "Which of you is the real Luigi?"

"ME!" they both yelled together.

Bowser tipped his head. "Oh, erm…" A lightbulb randomly appeared over his head, then disappeared. "BOO!"

The Luigi holding down Luigi screamed, and the fake Luigi kicked him off. "I'm out!"

Bowser grabbed the fake Luigi's overalls. "Oh, no you're not! YOU OWE ME A MINION!"

"Yeah, and you nearly destroyed my social life," the real Luigi agreed, holding onto the other side. He met Bowser's eye. "Should we…heh…give him the boot?"

"I'd enjoy that," Bowser responded. As one they winded up the kick, and they punted the fake Luigi into the sky.

"Trust me, that's the ONLY time we're EVER gonna be on the same team," Bowser told Luigi.

"Yeah. It'd be boring if there weren't a bad guy around here." Luigi came over to Peach's cage. "I was walking with her this morning. Mind if I take her?"

I just kidnapped her!Bowser thought indignantly. "No way!" he growled, taking a step toward Luigi.

Then he was on his stomach, and Luigi had grabbed his tail. "NO!" Bowser screamed. Not the trick from Super Mario 64!

Everything started spinning as Luigi spun him around. Finally the green plumber let go of him, and he lay, dizzy, barely noticing as Luigi rescued Peach and ran away with her.

When the nauseous feeling passed, he stood up and went over to Kamek, Neon, and his son.

Bowser Jr. was staring up at him with wide eyes.

This is probably the most action-packed and confusing chapter I've ever written! XD but seriously. Next chapter is going to be the last chapter. :(

But I had so much fun writing this story! And I hope you had fun reading it!

So I'll probably be posting the final chapter tomorrow or so. And if you have ANY questions at all about the story and what exactly happened (because I think it might've been confusing) you can ask. I'll answer them as best as I can in the final chapter!

Oh yeah! "All the Way" takes place right before Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. Basically Bowser and his son steal the professor's time machine and go back into the past to do something (it's a secret), and someone (also a secret) sees them and tells the Bros. So Mario and Luigi have to find a way to go back in time and stop Bowser and Bowser Jr.

Review please! I shall answer everything next chapter! (Lol I SHALL)
