Creeeeeeeek! Wario and Waluigi opened the castle doors and stepped inside of the relatively dark building.
Just as Wario was about to close the doors, Waluigi stopped him, saying, "Wario, don't close the doors! It's-a gonna get pitch dark!"
"Shut up, you wuss, there's nobody here, watch," Wario answered. He then cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted, "HELLO?!"
His voice echoed through the building, and no one answered. He then turned to Waluigi and said, "See?"
"Well can't we at least-a look for lights in this stupid castle? I don't wanna to feel like I'm in a haunted house!" Waluigi argued.
"Waluigi, there's nobody HERE!" Wario growled.
"Yeah, well what if it's haunted like Luigi's Mansion?" Waluigi asked.
"Oh stop, you wanted to come to this place earlier, and now you're-a being all cowardly about it like your archrival, Luigi," Wario coldly replied.
"Wario, you idiot, we come from a land where ghosts live!" Waluigi snapped. "I didn't realize it was gonna be this dark, so wouldn't it make sense to put some lights on? Jeez! It could keep the ghosts at bay."
"Argh, fine, we'll look for some stupid lights," Wario relented.
Wario and Waluigi ascended the red carpeted stairs and began searching through the halls for lights. Eventually, a living candelabra with eyes, eyebrows, a nose and mouth was seen hopping through the hallways and stopped at the sight of Wario and Waluigi.
"I beg your pardon, men, but"- the candelabra began in his French accent.
"Look, there's a light!" Waluigi interrupted, pointing at the candelabra.
"That's not a light, that's a stupid talking candlestick!" Wario objected.
"Lumiere is my name," the candelabra corrected. As he approached Wario and Waluigi, he continued, "Now as I was saying before I was so RUDELY interrupted, you two men are not supposed to be here."
"Sorry, we just needed some shelter from the cold, that's all," Wario answered. Then he glanced at Waluigi and gave a smirk.
"Well, that's understandable, but I'm going to have to ask you to-" Lumiere went on, only to be interrupted by Wario kicking him far across the hall.
"I'm-a just getting warmed up, and I already feel the BURN baby!" Wario taunted. Then he and Waluigi laughed in an obnoxiously loud manner.
A talking clock then came to Lumiere's aid, inquiring in his British voice, "Lumiere, what in the BLAZES is going on?!"
"Oh Cogsworth, two hooligans have gotten into the castle!" Lumiere answered, sitting up and pointing at the laughing Wario Bros. The two of them stopped and looked at Lumiere and Cogsworth with evil smirks.
"Oh dear!" Cogsworth panicked. "We MUST get help… right away!"
He and Lumiere fled down the halls, as Waluigi joked, "Hey Wario, those two must be er… running late! WAHAHAHAHA!"
Wario and Waluigi laughed some more, and then Wario said, "Let's-a get 'em."
Wario and Waluigi chased after Lumiere and Cogsworth, and almost caught up to them, only to be ripped by a running red and gold footstool. The footstool barked at them furiously as they laid on the ground.
"Grrr, stupid dog footstool thing!" Wario growled crawling up onto his feet.
"Hey Wario, sit!" Waluigi commanded with a smirk.
Catching on, Wario smirked and plopped down on the footstool, crushing it under his massive weight. Wario and Waluigi laughed some more as the footstool yelped and squirmed under Wario's fat butt.
"Stop this shameful behavior at once!" a womanly British voice interjected. Wario and Waluigi turned to see a living teapot of many colors, predominantly white and purple, followed by a little teacup of the same colors.
"Yeah, stop this shameful behavior at once!" the little white teacup repeated.
"Hey look, it's a stupid talking teapot and teacup!" Wario remarked.
"That is Mrs. Potts to you, you naughty men!" the teapot argued.
"And Chip!" the teacup exclaimed. "Now you let Sultan go, you big bullies!"
Wario and Waluigi laughed, and the latter picked up Chip, spun him by the handle around a skinny finger and taunted, "Ever hear of a carnival ride called, spinning teacups? Wahaha!"
"AAAAHH, MAMA, HELP ME!" Chip screamed.
"Chip, my baby, please don't hurt him!" Mrs. Potts cried. Wario picked up Mrs. Potts, fixed her spout toward his mouth and began drooling. "No, please!"
Before any of Wario's saliva could get in Mrs. Potts' spout, an ostrich colored feather duster leapt in Wario's face and dusted his nose, causing him to sneeze and fall off of Sultan. Mrs. Potts went flying from Wario's grip in the process and would have shattered to the floor, had it not been for the soft cushion on Sultan's back. Mrs. Potts hopped off as Sultan pounced at Waluigi, knocking him backward as Chip tumbled from his finger.
"MAMA!" Chip cried as he hopped toward Mrs. Potts.
"Oh Chip!" Mrs. Potts sighed in relief as her son approached.
"Well done, Fifi," Lumiere told the feather duster as he and Cogsworth came back into the scene. Sultan got up next to Lumiere, who said, "You too, Sultan. Good boy."
Wario grabbed an axe from a nearby knight statue, pinned Cogsworth down under one foot and asked Waluigi, "Hey Waluigi, what time is it?"
"Time to break the clock!" Waluigi jeered.
"WAHAHA!" Wario laughed evilly, raising the axe above his head.
"No, please, I beg you!" Cogsworth implored.
"I can't look!" Lumiere cried as he and the others cover their eyes.
Wario almost stopped by the axe, but was stopped by an animalistic growl behind him. Wario took his foot off of Cogsworth, who ran free with the other living household objects, as he and Waluigi turned to face an angry mutant creature. This creature was massive in size, covered in brown fur, had glaring blue eyes and looked like a mixture of different animals. He had the head structure and horns of a buffalo, the eyebrows of a gorilla, the jaws, teeth, and mane of a lion, the tusks of a wild boar, the body and arms of a bear (only with more human-like, clawed hands instead of paws), and the legs and tail of a wolf. He was shirtless with a dark wine red cape, connected by a horizontally oval-shaped golden brooch around his shoulders, and dark gray breeches. It was the Beast.
"Er, haha, err…" Wario nervously vocalized as he and Waluigi slowly backed away from the Beast. Wario lightly tossed his axe at Beast's face, saying, "Fetch?"
The Beast was even more angered as the axe bounced from his nose and onto the floor. The Beast growled like a lion, more and more fiercely, until he let out a loud, "ROOOOOOAAAARR!"
"WAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Wario and Waluigi screamed. The two hooligans turned and fled down the halls with the Beast hot in pursuit.
"WALUIGI, WE'VE-A GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE!" Wario shouted in fear.
"WHICH-A WAY DO WE GO?!" Waluigi asked in panic.
Having come to two separate hallways, the Wario Bros looked in different directions, but picked opposite hallways, saying "That way!"
Upon noticing Wario going another way, Waluigi turned and ran after him, yelling, "AH, WAIT FOR ME!"
The Beast caught up to Waluigi, struck him from behind and send him flipping through the air toward Wario. "WA-AH-AH-OW!"
BOOF! Waluigi crashed into Wario from behind, knocking them both to the ground.
"HEY, WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING, STUPID!" Wario hollered.
"WAAAAHH!" they both screamed as they looked up and saw the Beast pouncing over them.
They rolled out of the way, as the Beast slammed his hands on the ground. Waluigi quickly grabbed an axe from a knight statue and whacked the Beast over the head with it, only to be promptly pinned against the wall by his throat. Wario stepped on the Beast's tail, causing him to roar in pain and release Waluigi.
Wario hastily grabbed Waluigi by the arm and dragged him off, saying, "Hurry up, you idiot, let's get out of here!"
The Beast continued to chase after Wario and Waluigi, who knocked down knight statues to try and slow him down. Eventually, Wario grabbed a knight statue over his head and threw it at the Beast, knocking him down as he and Waluigi ran off.
"Wahaha, so long, loser!" Waluigi jeered.
When Wario and Waluigi got back to the staircase in front of the castle doors, Wario jumped over the ledge and Waluigi slid down the rail… and fell on his face.
"Get up, you clumsy little twig!" Wario snapped, frustrated, pulling Waluigi up on his feet.
Wario and Waluigi ran for the door, only to see the old woman standing there and closing them with the magic of her hand. They were completely closed, and locked, by the time Wario and Waluigi got there. They desperately handled the doorknobs, shouted, and banged on the door, but they could not get out of the castle.
"Grrr, that rotten old hag locked us in!" Wario growled. Desperate, he stopped and looked at Waluigi.
"What?" Waluigi asked, as he stopped upon noticing Wario staring at him. Ignoring his question, Wario grabbed Waluigi and straightened him out under his muscular arm. "Wario, what are you- WAH! WAH! WAH! WAH!"
Wario began ramming Waluigi's head against the castle doors to try and break them down. Waluigi eventually got his two hands on the door and tried to restrain Wario's ramming, and chastised him, "WARIO, STOP! WAH!"
Wario overpowered Waluigi and ramed his head against the doors again. "I'M TRYING TO GET US OUT OF HERE, YOU FOOL!"
Wario rammed Waluigi's head against the doors once more, and continued doing it until the Beast came running down the stairs, charging at them. Wario turned his head to see the Beast, screamed, and started banging Waluigi's head on the doors even faster. The doors would not break, and as the Beast closed in with loud roaring, Wario gave up, dropped Waluigi, and they both backed up against the door with loud screaming. The Beast grabbed and lifted both of them by their throats, growling menacingly as they pleaded to be let go.
"What are you doing in my castle?!" the Beast demanded.
"Wah, it talks!" Waluigi commented.
"Wah, I've gotta get myself outta this somehow," Wario mumbled to himself. Selfishly desperate, Wario pointed at Waluigi, saying, "Hey, Monster, eat him! He's-a bone thin and he'd-a make a nice chew toy!"
"What?! No, eat him!" Waluigi argued, pointing at Wario. "He's-a got-a more meat on his bones, just-a look at how fat he is!"
"Shut up, loser!" Wario demanded.
"No, you shut up, loser!" Waluigi retorted.
"SILENCE!" the Beast roared in their faces. "That's not what I asked you! I want to know… what were you two goons doing in my CASTLE!"
"Beast!" a feminine voice called out. The Beast turned to see a beautiful brunette maiden, in a golden nightgown, descending the stairs with Lumiere, Cogsworth, Sultan, Mrs. Potts, Chip, and Fifi following her. "What is going on?"
"Belle, I found these two men causing trouble in this castle!" the Beast angrily replied, throwing Wario and Waluigi at the girl's feet.
"And they bullied us too," Chip added.
Belle put her hands on her hips and gave a "seriously" expression at Wario and Waluigi. They looked back and forth, at each other, and away, and ultimately pointed at each other, shouting, "Wah, it was his idea! What?! No, it was your idea!"
Wario and Waluigi began brawling and calling each other names.
"Stupid!" Wario insulted.
"Imbecile!" Waluigi retorted.
"Liar!"
"Coward!"
"Traitor!"
"Cheat!"
"Snitch!"
"Lowlife!"
"Gentlemen, please," Lumiere implored, approaching the brawling men, only to be swept up in Wario's hand and brandished at Waluigi, who was pinned down.
"You little son of a beast!" Wario hollered.
"That's enough!" Belle shouted, throwing her fists down and stomping a foot.
"And Belle, can you please tell this brutish man to put me down?" Lumiere pleaded.
Belle looked Wario in the eye very sternly and said, "Put him down."
Wario carelessly dropped Lumiere on the floor, and Waluigi pushed Wario off of him as Lumiere hopped behind Belle.
"Now listen, I don't care whose idea it was," Belle told Wario and Waluigi. "I just want to know why you two came here in the first place."
"That's exactly what I was trying to ask!" the Beast roared.
"Beast, I'll handle this," Belle soothed. Fixing her eyes back on Wario and Waluigi, she said, "Now come on, explain yourselves."
"Okay, so we were at our friend Rosalina's Comet Observatory with a bunch of other losers," Wario began.
"And she read us some stupid book called Beauty and the Beast," Waluigi added.
"STUPID?!" Beast interrupted, causing Waluigi to flinch. "You think we're STUPID?!"
"Beast," Belle said, both calmly and firmly.
The Beast relented, and Waluigi continued, "We didn't like that that stu-"
"Mmm, mmm, mmm," Lumiere vocalized, giving the cut it signal to remind him that the Beast did not take kindly to being called "stupid."
"We didn't like the story, and everyone made a huge fuss about it, so we left," Wario spoke up. "Then we found a purple launch star, but someone wouldn't let me test it out FIRST!"
"Hey, I spotted it first, so I should have gone first!" Waluigi argued. "And it would have brought us to this same place anyway!"
"So that purple launch star brought you guys here?" Belle questioned.
"Yes," Wario replied. "As this ding dong kept fighting with me over that stupid launch star, some annoying "I Like to Move It Move It" song started playing, and we both levitated into that star at the same time, against our will."
"Then we were launched through a wormhole and that's how we ended up here," Waluigi added.
"So you're from another world?" Belle asked.
"Er, I guess," Waluigi answered. "I don't know."
"Anyway, we ended up in the cold, snowy forest, and this loser of a purple clad plumber-" Wario began.
"Shut up!" Waluigi cut him off.
"Wouldn't shut up!" Wario complained, putting a hand out at Waluigi. "And then we ended up-a getting chased by wolves, and then we ended up here. Some old lady told us not to come in, but we didn't listen."
"So you came here for shelter from the cold?" Belle inquired.
"Yes," Wario and Waluigi affirmed in unison.
"Well, they CAN'T stay!" the Beast objected. "Not after all the trouble they caused!"
"Beast, as much as I want to let them stay, I agree with you," Belle told him.
"Well that old lady locked us in, there's no way out, so I guess you're stuck with us," Wario excused himself, and Waluigi.
The Beast gave an incredulous facial expression, looked at the doors, approached them, turned the knobs, and lo! The castle doors opened. Wario and Waluigi turned and looked with surprised expression, turned scared with nervous laughter when the Beast looked back at them angrily. He approached Wario and Waluigi, grabbed them, and carried them both back to the open castle doors, one man in each hand. Beast threw Wario out first, and then Waluigi… on top of Wario.
"Er, why do I always have to be your body cushion?" Wario complained.
"AND DON'T EVER COME BACK!" the Beast roared, slamming his castle doors. Behind them, Beast finally calmed down and said to Belle, "Belle, I'm sorry for losing my temper. I was angry because I didn't want you or anyone else to get hurt by those guys."
"I know Beast, I know," Belle soothed, embracing him. "You're always so protective of me… and everyone else here. For that, I'm forever thankful."
"We are very thankful indeed," Lumiere affirmed.
Releasing Belle, Beast warmly told her, "Belle, of all human beings, I'm just glad you're someone I can trust."
Belle smiled and hugged Beast again.
Meanwhile, outside, Wario and Waluigi staggered to their feet to find the green clad old woman before them again, smirking.
"Argh, okay, fine, you were right and we were wrong," Wario contemptuously said to her. "There really is a Beast. Happy now?"
"I am indeed glad that you and Waluigi came to see the truth," the old lady began.
"What, how does she know my name?" Waluigi asked Wario.
"I don't know," Wario rebuffed.
"But I am no old lady," the old lady finished.
"What?" Wario and Waluigi inquired.
In an aura of golden light, the old lady transformed herself into a tall and beautiful blonde-haired enchantress.
"WAH!" Wario and Waluigi shouted. After a few moments of silence, the two of them fell at her feet begging for mercy.
"We're sorry, we're sorry, please don't curse us!" Wario pleaded.
"Please, we wanna go home, waaaahahahahhhh!" Waluigi sobbed.
"I can see into your hearts," the Enchantress spoke up, silencing them. "And neither of you are remorseful toward me."
Wario and Waluigi dropped their jaws in horror. The Enchantress continued, "However, I do see that you have learned your lesson not to trouble the Beast, so I will send the two of you home."
"Yeah!" Waluigi cheered.
"Alright!" Wario beamed.
"But," the Enchantress said, causing them both to frown and hunch over. "These mistakes WILL follow you back into your time."
"Back into our time?" Wario and Waluigi questioned.
"Nevermind, now back home you go," the Enchantress dismissed. She then raised her hands into the air, sending Wario and Waluigi shooting up into the sky, screaming, as bright light consumed them.
***Additional Notes***
1. The description I gave for Beast, word for word, was taken from Disney Wikia, so credit goes to them for that. I was not too detailed in my descriptions of Lumiere, Cogsworth, Sultan, Mrs. Potts, Chip, and Fifi because I was concerned it would drag the chapter on too much. I also gave Belle a golden nightgown to match the ball gown she wore in her dance with Beast.
2. One part of the chase, in which Waluigi almost went down a separate hallway from Wario and ran after him, shouting, "Wait for me," was derived from the opening of Mario Power Tennis for the Nintendo GameCube and Wii. Wario and Waluigi were being chased by the cops for doodling on Mario and Luigi's picture, and the exact same thing happened at one moment during the chase (which I found hilarious).
3. I was inspired to include the Enchantress, in both her old and youthful form, after seeing her more prominent role in Disney's live-action remake of their 1991 animated Beauty and the Beast (primarily in her youthful and beautiful form).
