from now on I only continue posting if I get at least 3 new reviews form three different reviewers. This is to make sure that someone cares about this story, otherwise why write it?

Daisy marveled at the sheer mass of the forest as she got a bird's eye view. The thing was absolutely colossal, at the very least four times the Mushroom Kingdom, the Dark Lands, and the Beanbean kingdom combined, and that was the part she could see. The ocean of green stretched as far as the eyes could see. The clearing that Daisy had been lifted from was about three fourths from the way to the edge of the trees and to a huge castle. Daisy was getting vertigo, so she decided to behold her captor and look up as opposed to down.

It was a wretched monster that seemed to be part vulture part devil/demon-thing. It seemed to be ambi-petal, with huge opposable thumbs on it's talons and gristly feathered wings sprouting from it's back. Daisy looked away in disgust at it's bald vulture like head to see another shape hurtling through the dark sky toward them, coming from the castle.

It's huge black bat wings and glowing purple eyes gleamed as the shape hurtled toward Daisy and her assaulter. Daisy looked once again at her captor to see how it would react. She was startled as the monster was attacked. Fangs that shined inn the light of the waxing gibbus above pierced the neck of Daisy's captor, as the attacker clamped down with all it's might. Daisy quickly averted her eyes, getting a glance of the wicked sharp claws on the bat winged attacker's... hands?

It all took place in less than a second, at the end of which Daisy was thrown high in the air; the force of the bite causing a see-saw effect with the demon's body as it released it's no-longer-prey. Daisy knew soon she would be at the mercy of gravity, and then at the mercy of a purple-eyed, bat winged, fanged, clawed, monster. Daisy decided to enjoy the fall while it lasted. Gravity took her, and Daisy closed her eyes. It reminded of the time she went skydiving on Wa-hu Island. This fall, however, was much more exhilarating, because at it's end was death. Yet Daisy found that her death was not to be at that moment. Her fall stopped suddenly when she landed in someone's arms.

"Glad I caught you." Said a voice.

Daisy opened her eyes. She was surprised to find her boyfriend staring back at her. Of course she was surprised to see him; not only because he was simply here, holding her bridal style in mid air like it was no biggie, but also how he looked.

His ears where enlarged and pointed like Link's, only bigger. His normally blue, green, or black eyes glowed blood red; not to mention his canines where at least three times, maybe four times as long as they were supposed to be. His sharp nails were somehow not digging in to Daisy's skin. Huge bat wings buffeted the air behind him, keeping the couple aloft with a soft bobbing motion. Luigi's wingspan was huge; each wing was at least three times his arm span from fingertip to fingertip.

Luigi held Daisy there for a moment, just the two of them hovering in mid air, then they descended into the small clearing Daisy had been taken from. The body of her kidnapper lay in the grass, a rather large wolf was sniffing at it curiously. Peach stood next to the corpse, her mouth agape at Luigi, not even noticing or caring about the canine.

Luigi landed in the center of the clearing, put Daisy down gently, and folded his wings into his back. How those huge flappers fit neatly into his back without ripping his shirt at all was way beyond Daisy. His fangs shrunk some as well, but they were still two time as long as normal canines. His nails became regular, and his ears got regular sized, but remained pointed. He almost looked normal again, if you could ignore his eyes, ears, and teeth. Peach marched over to the newly regroundeds.

"Luigi!?" She exclaimed. " What happened to you? You had these wings, and these teeth, and, and..."

"Calm down, he's dormant now," the wolf called from the dead monster, his voice a kind of a growl-mixed speech.

Peach screamed and backed up into Luigi.

"Calm down, it's just Mario!" Luigi told her.

Peach stopped screaming. "Oh" She said sheepishly. "Well, I just wasn't expecting that, that's all."

She turned to Luigi "What happened to your wings and teeth and claws?" She asked.

"They retreat when I'm dormant." He explained, still leaving a lot questions unanswered about the dormant thingy.

Daisy looked at him quizzically. "What about your eyes?" She asked. "They were purple before."

"That's because he's sucked tonight where as he hadn't before." Mario barked, still examining the corpse. "I might even say he's full, if it wasn't impossible for him to be."

Mario looked up from the hole his teeth had ripped into the belly of the corpse. Daisy was surprised that it had no blood on it. Dry pinkish flecks like some sort of super sized dandruff floated out from the belly around Mario, making the image seem almost mystical.

"You sucked it dry, in three eighths of a millisecond." The lycan informed his brother. "In the process, you also snapped it's neck and crushed it's windpipe." he continued, laying a claw on the monster's neck where two puncture wounds ruptured the skin. Each had a three centimeter diameter, but went all the way through the neck, which had been compacted by powerful jaws. The area around the holes had been constricted to the size of Daisy's bicep, although the rest of the neck could encompass her whole head.

"Wow." Peach remarked in a small voice..

"Did you,... do that?" Daisy asked, pointing first to Luigi, then to the mangled neck.

Luigi didn't respond. He was just as shocked. Mario answered for his brother instead.

"He most definitely did do that, beat his record too. Three fourths of a millisecond on a mouse, and the regular kind not the gargantuan kind. This thing, is much larger than your average household rodent. This is what we call a follicle-less, honey badger/vulture thing. The greasy demon for short. I thought it would be a harder kill for Luigi to make, as it's impervious to his venom, but he dealt with it just fine. These are nasty not-so-little creatures. Are you okay?"

He looked up at Daisy, concerned.

Daisy didn't respond right a way, trying to absorb what he had just said, as well as the fact that an animal was talking to her.

"Are you okay?" Mario repeated.

"Yes, I'm fine!" She assured him.

"Good." He growled, satisfied. "We're good at fighting off the monsters in here, but curing the wounds is a whole different story."

"Wait,... did you say his venom?" Peach asked incredulously.
