A/N: Recently, I was extremely lucky to find and purchase a copy of Luigi's Mansion for the GameCube after searching it for nearly a decade. Playing through the game has given me some motivation to write this, so here's another chapter.

I also have a major announcement. If everything goes according to plan, and as long as I don't make any stupid last-second changes, Hidden Bravery will be completed with a length of sixty pages long: the prologue, fifty-eight main chapters, and the epilogue. Including this upload, that means we'll have six more chapters to wrap up this fanfiction. Everyone who has been throughout this journey has my utmost respect and thanks for supporting both me and HB. With that being said, let's return to the action!

*NOTE: This chapter has been re-edited because of the time cycle of how long Luigi has to defeat Myster Edge.

Chapter 54: A Storm is Brewing

Since Clawdio was atypically nice to give Luigi the whereabouts of Edge's most loyal Shadeling, the green man wasted no time to fly over to the identical area of Vanilla Dome, mirroring the location of the Shadow Spirit's headquarters. Luigi actually found two extra Cape Feathers in his inventory. Using one of them, he held Colombo and flew over to the southern islands while Tails carried Sonic by the hands.

"How's the flight going for you, Luigi?" the fox peered over to see his friend.

Luigi, carefully gliding with one arm on the cape and the other wrapped around his Polterpup, answered back. "So far, so good. I must say, you're very strong to hold Sonic for a long period of time."

"Are you saying that because I'm taller and heavier than him?" Sonic raised an eyebrow.

"Um, not really. I'm just saying that he must be strong and persevering enough to fly anywhere with you, even when you're not flying the Tornado."

"Thanks, Luigi. Although, as much as I love planes and flying in general, nothing beats hanging around with Sonic," he looked down and smiled.

His blue friend was flattered, and he paralleled his smirk. "Thanks, buddy. It's always awesome being with you, too!"

The younger Mario brother admired their relationship together. It reminded so much of him and Mario. Except, since his brother is still in Edge's hands, he couldn't help but think about him. What could Edge have done to his older sibling after the amount of insufferable torture he himself had faced? Did Mario face the same punishments, or even worse? Unbeknownst to him, it was or as worse as his own torment, depending on how you look at the situation.

Colombo whimpered a ghostly whine, eliciting Luigi to look down at him. His sympathetic expression said it all.

"Luigi?"

The man turned back at his Mobian friends. "Yeah?"

"You alright?" Tails asked.

He nodded forcefully. "Just thinking, again."

"About Mario?" Sonic easily assumed.

"Like it wasn't hard to figure out."

"Just don't worry, man. I told you before, we'll get him back soon. No matter how many times you say or think about him, we'll get you through the tough times."

"Yeah. And I bet Mario still has that confidence in you to save the day."

Luigi took Sonic and Tails' words as a small breather to ease his mind. Clearing the bad thoughts away, he regained his composure as he and the fox continued soaring under the massive purple sky.

The carbon copy of the caverns didn't have the same pure vanilla scent as the original due to the fact it was an artificial location in a strange dimension. But the geography was mostly the same. North of Yoshi's Island and adjacent to the Donut Plains, the interior of the dome was dark and damp. And of course, every part of all of these areas were crystallized in Dark Shards as more were found in extraneous piles. And for each body of water in the Mushroom Kingdom, violet waves of plasma took its place in the Oblivion. Thankfully, neither of the heroes fell into it when they flew south. They didn't think twice to experiment what might happen after witnessing Slimmer's death.

As Luigi removed his cape, he grabbed the flashlight and turned on the bulb. To reiterate, the place was way too purple. Not just in Vanilla Dome, but every square inch, square foot, and acre of land was uniform in that color. It was probably too much for Waluigi's taste, even though he wasn't with them.

"Do you ever get tired of something that's very bland and excessive when it comes to the color purple?"

Luigi thought about Sonic's query for a while. "I mean, we did travel through Subspace, and the entirety of that was purple. It doesn't really bother me."

"Yeah, you got a point. But when it comes to Waluigi..."

He rolled his eyes. "I only get tired of him if he and Wario are pulling pranks on Mario and me. I've gotten used to it nowadays, and I've tried to ignore them no matter how loud and obnoxious they can be."

"Has it worked out?" Tails wondered.

"Well, two weeks before my birthday, Mario and I were going to play doubles tennis against the princesses. However, Wario and Waluigi stole our bag of tennis balls and replaced them with Bob-ombs. And guess who the unfortunate individual was to pick up one, only to get their face exploded with ash?"

"With your luck, I presume you got the short end of the stick," Sonic stifled a laugh.

"And boom goes the dynamite," Luigi terribly ruminated as shook his head.

"I mean, I could think of a scenario that could be worse than that. Maybe you'll find some legendary tennis racket and its power will completely possess you into some freaky mummy of some sort." (1)

The plumber gave Sonic an extremely perplexed look. "Where the hell did you get that from?"

"I don't know. The idea just popped in my head."

Luigi put a hand on his forehead in distress. "Oh, I don't feel so good."

"Well, we better not stand here all day. Let's head inside."

"You're right, Tails. We're squandering time again. We can't afford to lose more." Luigi cracked his neck before leading the pack in the grotto.

The four came across a humongous gap filled with plasma. Since swimming in it was not an option for the heroes, they did the same as before. Luigi grabbed his last Cape Feather and carried Colombo over the gap. Tails followed with Sonic until they landed on the other side with them.

Luigi turned the flashlight on again. "I don't see Alpha anywhere yet," he peeked ahead at the straightaway path.

"I don't hear him either," Tails listened carefully. It was unnervingly silent throughout the interior of the dome.

"Come on. Let's just keep walking," Sonic urged.

Luigi led with the light source as he mindfully watched out for potential danger. When they got to the end of the tunnel, there was a narrow ledge that extended along the wall. Down below was an enormous abyss of darkness.

"Mamma Mia..." Luigi gulped.

He leaned his back against it to prevent himself from falling forward. Sonic trailed him while Colombo barely had room to keep his paws on. Tails flew with his namesakes to see the path ahead. He cautiously observed his friends in case one of them was about to fall. Luigi nearly tumbled when a piece of the ledge broke off. But then, after the next step he took, it crumbled to where he lost his footing.

"AAAHH!"

"Luigi!" Tails swiftly grabbed onto his wrist tightly. "Urgh! I... I got you!"

A vibration shook the cave. Sonic shook his arms before gluing his hands to the wall. "Geez! I almost fell- OOOOFF!" The hedgehog slipped when another vibration occurred.

"Sonic!" Tails reacted and reached out to snatch his friend. The fox was struggling to carry both of them. But he attempted to prevail so he could carry Luigi and Sonic to safer ground.

Colombo peeked down where his legs shook in fear. Whimpering to himself, he noticed that a few bits of the Dark Shards collapsed off the wall and descended into the chasm. He was about to take another cautious step until...

"Arf!"

The Polterpup cried out a scared woof that caught Luigi's attention.

"Colombo! No!"

Sonic and Tails turned their heads around to witness the predicament Colombo was stuck in. His front paws clung onto the remains of the ledge while his back legs scratched the surface, struggling to climb back up. He continued to whine and panic, causing the other three to have their hearts beating rapidly, especially Luigi's.

"Be careful, Colombo!"

The dog used his might, but to no avail. As he remained in a bad position, the part of the ledge he was hanging onto completely subsided off the cliff. Colombo howled as gravity took him to the depths of the gulf.

"COLOMBO!" Luigi yelled in anguish. He was kicking his feet and pulling Tails a couple inches down.

"Luigi, what are you doing?!" the kitsune grunted.

"Let me go! I gotta find him!"

Sonic couldn't believe what he said. "What?! Are you out of your fucking mind, Luigi?!"

"Yes, I'm out of my fucking mind! It's been like that since that bastard nearly sent me to a deathbed on my birthday!"

"Luigi, remain calm, please!" Tails begged.

"I WON'T remain calm! I've already lost Mario too many times, and I'm not going to lose someone else in my family! I've got to save Colombo!"

"Luigi, don't!"

But it was too late. Ignoring his friends' pleas, the plumber forced the fox to let go of his wrist, and he plummeted to the gorge in pursuit of his loving pet. Tails shuddered when he saw him disappear into the darkness.

"Great. Now we have no choice."

"What do you mean, Sonic?"

"We need to go down as well."

"What?"

"You heard me, Tails. I don't know if there is anything below. But we might as do it if we have to reunite with them. But take it nice and steady. I'm not interested to enjoy free falling in a place like this."

"Oh, man. This can't get any worse." He sighed and ran his free hand through his bangs before clutching Sonic's other grip. "Alright, then. Hang on tight."

"You got it, buddy."

The duo carefully flew to the mysterious bottom, unaware of what was down there other than their missing friends.

A slight groan emitted from Luigi's mouth. The horrible feeling of pain coursed through his entire body. He did land on something solid, but not before he sealed himself with a Shriek Shield just moments before he made contact with the ground. Although the barrier was solidified, it barely helped him sustain the large drop. As a result, he didn't receive any wounds, and his bones weren't broken (thankfully), yet his entire body was in extreme pain.

Then, Luigi recognized the same ghostly whimper from his Polterpup.

"C-Colombo?" he mumbled with a lack of strength. He couldn't open his eyes at the moment.

The spectral pooch was also fine despite him dropping from the cliff. Since the only bones he had were golden treats, he wasn't hurt from the fall. But seeing his owner ache from the same action spooked him (no pun intended). He worriedly scuttled to the green-hatted hero. He lifted one of his front paws and gently rubbed the side of his face. He sniffed his ear before whining again.

"Colombo... I-I'm here... D-Don't worry..."

Luigi relied on his sense of touch to soothe him by petting his head. He used his other hand to feel his overall pockets. He sluggishly pulled out a Super Mushroom and chomped a small bite off the top. Feeling somewhat invigorated, he managed to eat the rest. The energy allowed Luigi to sit up from where he laid. Colombo's tail waggled at the sight, but he wasn't entirely happy.

"Oh my god. Where are we?"

The man uncomfortably rubbed the back of his head. He soon realized a familiar region. It was a circular arena, similar to the one where he encountered the Grouchy Possessor when he took over the body of a vicious Cheep Chomp. But of course, the landscape was different as everything was covered in Dark Shards, and plasma was flowing from below the stage. The main problem was that there was hardly any light to help him see.

"How did we get here?" he wondered.

Luigi turned on his flashlight. He looked up at the ceiling to see a medium-sized opening. Instead of having a source of light shining down, it was pure blackness up above.

"I guess that's how. But it's kind of weird how this room has a hole in the ceiling when the one in the real Vanilla Dome didn't. Mario was hanging there by a rope, but I don't remember a hole up there."

Colombo nudged his head as another indication of asking whether or not Luigi was fine.

"Yeah, boy. I'm good for now. I'm not 100% healthy, but it's better than being stuck in limbo."

Just then, the two heard a whirring noise. They wondered what it was until they tilted their heads up again.

"Luigi! Colombo!"

To their surprise, Tails and Sonic appeared from the opening. The fox lowered the hedgehog close to the ground before the latter let go to land on his feet. Tails eventually stopped whirling his namesakes to reach the floor as well.

"Sonic, Tails... You're here."

"Of course, you idiot," said Sonic half-jokingly. "Dude, what were you thinking? You basically gave us a heart attack when you willingly let go of Tails."

"Did you really believe that was smart of you?" the kit questioned.

"Not really. Guys, I'm sorry I made a dumb move. But I really can't lose my cagnetto. If I don't get Mario back, he's the only one left in my family. And losing him would just... Sigh, I don't even know anymore."

The hedgehog and the fox softened their expressions and cared for the friend.

"Well, at least you're with him again," Sonic pointed out.

"Now we got to find Alpha before-"

Tails was interrupted by the same tremor from earlier. Then, it got louder and more intense as the arena shook. Luigi, Sonic, and Tails spread their arms out to steady themselves. When the shaking stopped, everyone sighed of relief.

"God, it's like the Void all over again. When we traveled inside Castle Bleck, the thing just kept reverberating. Except-" The tremble came back instantly. Since Luigi didn't expect it, he fell backwards. "Oof! Ow..." he rubbed his backside.

"Here," Sonic was about to help him on his feet. But before he did, Tails saw something shooting down at them.

"LOOK OUT!" he dove at his friends and pushed them out of the way. Luckily, all three were unscathed when a laser struck the solid ground.

"What happened?" Luigi asked.

"Bark! Bark!" Colombo yipped. When the heroes stood up, they saw the Omega-like Shadeling hover down to the arena.

"Well, well, well... If it isn't Mr. Green Mustache and three of his anthropomorphic beast freaks."

"First of all," Sonic held a finger while putting his other hand on his hip, "Colombo isn't humanlike. He's a ghost dog. And second," he raised another finger, "I'm a hedgehog, Tails is a fox, and we're neither beasts nor freaks."

Alpha ignored the Blue Blur's comment. "According to my databases, you have apparently terminated the lives of Slimmer and Clawdio. I wish I could say I was impressed. But both of them were as incompetent as a snail slithering away from being stepped on."

"Really? You're just gonna pretend like I didn't say anything?!"

He gave a glance at Sonic before continuing. "I thought Myster Edge clearly explained that only the man in green shall enter the Oblivion on the choice that he wants to face him."

"If I recall, he said Luigi had the option to allow extra forces to join him. And he accepted us, so your statement is invalid," Tails debunked.

"No one likes a smart aleck," the robot scolded. The caves shook yet again as several pieces of the shards crumbled to the plasma sea. "You hear that? That's the sound of the inevitable, the moment that the Oblivion is getting closer to consuming all worlds."

"Timewise, how close are you talking about?" Luigi raised an eyebrow.

"Based on my countdown clock, no more than eighteen hours." (2)

"Eighteen hours? Heh, that's no big deal to us! We have plenty of time!" Sonic scoffed with a grin.

"Don't get too cocky, Sonic," Tails muttered to him.

"You'll eventually see how time goes by pretty quickly when you're about to die soon."

"Okay, I'm pretty sure that's not how the saying goes," said Sonic, crossing his arms.

"It doesn't matter if I go by the correct idiom or not. What matters is that this will soon be over, for the worlds and your pathetic lives. Myster Edge may have the influence of the seven Chaos Emeralds and the multitude of the Dark Shards he created, along with the Chaos Heart copy he stole from your body," he pointed to Luigi. "But eventually, he'll achieve his domination and complete power once Dimentio is resuscitated. And the Oblivion will wipe out everything like a raging storm."

"Since you've mentioned all that, I know another storm that's coming this way," Luigi grumbled.

"And what's that?"

The man answered Alpha's question with two separate volts of thunder emitting from his index finger. He reacted to the gesture by evading off to the side.

"Despicable. Trying to deal damage to me from an unexpected move? That's such a cowardly move, milquetoast."

"You're one to talk. Your leader has done that to me frequently!"

"Hold on. Real talk here," Sonic held his hands up. "Did you just call Luigi a breakfast food and drink combo?"

"Really, Sonic? Right now?"

"You imbecile. I said 'milquetoast', otherwise known as a timid, submissive weakling."

"I may have a wide, colorful vocabulary, but I've never heard of a word like that," Tails mentioned.

"And that's why I asked on what he said."

"That's enough! This English debate has nothing to do with all this! I'm just trying to get into your thick skulls that this cretin is a worthless being!"

Colombo responded for the first time since he saw Alpha. With his teeth, he displayed his animosity towards the golden robot for berating Luigi. In addition, he wanted to gnaw on his circuits so badly to shut this jerk down. Luigi, Sonic, and Tails felt the same way, minus the gnawing part. They wanted to expel him for good.

"Oh, what now? You're not even capable to fight me, ugly canine."

"Ruff! Ruff! Grr!"

"Why don't you shut up?" Alpha immediately shot a beam at the Polterpup. And for the first time, Colombo was too slow to turn invisible, thus receiving the incoming attack.

"Arf!" he howled as he flew backwards towards the edge of the platform.

"Colombo, no!" Luigi ran over and dove at the dog to barely catch him. His momentum made him slide, and he couldn't stop due to his poor traction.

"Luigi!" Sonic hurried to him and managed to stop his friend from falling. However, Luigi's upper half was hanging over the margin. Colombo whimpered when he was over the chasm with the plasma bubbling below.

Tails ran as well to help the others get back on the stage safely. Thankfully, Luigi was fine, but Colombo felt feeble as he shook his body. Once he did, he promptly fell onto his stomach.

"Is he alright?" Tails kneeled down to inspect Colombo.

"At the moment, no, he's not." Luigi turned around to glare at Alpha, who chortled at the scene.

"You know what's funny? At first, I was a bit unsure, skeptical per se, whenever Myster Edge told me how he always wanted to punish you in the most physical and harmful ways possible. Now, I understand how my liege feels whenever he hurt someone. I feel satisfied."

Luigi felt his hands prickling with electricity. He felt his Thunderhand powers growing.

"It may not be towards you since Edge has a higher priority over me. But if it includes people related or close to you, then I realize the same sentiment."

He clenched his fists tightly at his sides.

"I mean, he did also try to kill your older brother who's a much better role model than yourself. Turns out he was success-"

Enraged, Luigi had enough of his demoralizing words. He shot more thunderbolts at the Omega clone. Some deflected off his claws, others hit his feet, and one in particular struck Alpha in the sturdy chest. He jumped over and crushed a piece of him as he stared straight into his red, glowing eyes.

"You're lying. Edge didn't kill Mario," Luigi denied.

"Oh, you should've been there when we had him hooked up in the Underground Lab back at the Treacherous Mansion."

He softened his expression for a second. "Wait. You mean... after Mario and I parted ways in the mansion, Slimmer and Clawdio took him to the underground?"

"That's correct."

"Luigi, what's your point?" Sonic called from the other side.

"You're inferring that... I could've saved him if I stayed at Treacherous... He wouldn't have been in Edge's hands again if I had known."

"And because of that..." Alpha punched him off his chest. "He's no longer living, thanks to you. Edge decided all this time to make you weaker than before. If he wasn't going to drive you insane physically, then he'll go to desperate measures to harm you emotionally. I'm certain you feel pretty bad that you're the reason he's gone, right?"

Luigi tilted his head to glimpse at him with narrowed pupils and clenched teeth. He really tried not to tear up. Sonic, Tails, and Colombo, to the best of his might, scurried to the plumber, also exchanging livid scowls.

"Oh, and by the way, the red guy wanted to say some words to you before he perished."

Attentively listening, though very fatigued, he was waiting for a dreadful response.

"His last few words... 'My brother deserves the pain. He deserves to die. And he doesn't deserve me.' To be honest, it's quite pitiful to hear the truth come out like that."

"YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Luigi completely lost it.

To the others' amazement, as if he wasn't exhausted in the first place, he went into a fist fighting frenzy as the thunder extracted from his gloved hands. Each thump to Alpha was utterly shocking in a literal way. But unlike his previous stints when he fought Bowser and his kids in Sparkling Waters and when he encountered Metal Sonic being possessed by Shrewd in Chemical Plant, the man in green was fully conscious and in full gear to fight back. He set up his vengeance at his brother's supposed demise. (Little did he know that Alpha said those remarks to dig deep into his skin like a sharp knife.)

The Shadeling resisted some of his punches as he was dealt some severe damage from the electrifying assault. Staying alive on the arena, he fired a ton of lasers from his arm cannon, causing the younger Mario brother to leap away. Sonic dashed from the projectiles, Tails spun his tails to get off the ground, and Colombo was able to veil himself from Alpha. At that point, the blue hedgehog spun around the arena in search of an open opportunity to damage him. The twin-tailed kitsune had an aerial shot at them from up high. The invisible Polterpup chose to regain his vigor before reappearing in front of the brawl.

"Let's keep the show rolling, shall we?" threatened Alpha.

He continuously focused on Luigi and simultaneously dodged his thunderous moves. He switched to utilizing other offensive tactics. Converting from his cannon to a missile launcher, the projectiles fired at Luigi. He had to scoot off to his right as they crashed into the wall, causing more Dark Shards to plunge into the gorge. The place shook violently again, another indication that the Oblivion was getting larger and closer to consuming the dimensions. Alpha released a flamethrower from his chest, spewing fire towards the heroes. Sonic and Tails were able to avoid the fire, but Luigi barely escaped as part of his overalls singed from the burn.

"Aah! Damn it!"

Luigi had to sprint from Alpha who tried to slam him onto the crystal ground. He took out another Super Mushroom to regain his health. Afterward, he maintained his moves to keep the enemy distracted. With his jumping abilities and athleticism, he unexpectedly sent waves of his Thunderhand in an attempt to immobilize Alpha. But every time, the large mech was able to dodge and repulse with his arsenal set.

Hardly finding any success, Luigi opted to be aggressive rather than be cautious. Using up another Shriek Shield, he withstood Alpha's lasers and charged his hands. The thunder passed through the paranormal barrier and zapped his legs, rendering him immobile. Followed by a high triple jump, he ground pounded his face. Sonic saw the advantage and spin dashed his body several times. Tails did the same with the addition of striking him by his appendages. Colombo resurfaced after his recovery. Immediately, he ran to his legs and bit through the metal as hard as he could.

"OWWW! You little swine!" he tried to shake him off. He eventually let go when Alpha tried to seize him.

"Hey, tough guy!" Alpha turned around, only to see a ball of blue whirl right into him. He dropped onto his back as Sonic landed perfectly on his feet. "Keep going, guys!"

Tails went forward to knock a few hits and kicks, sending him into Luigi's path. "Do it, Luigi!"

The green man received his message and prepared another round of his Thunderhand. Palms up and fingers curled into fists, he drew his elbows back before extending his arms out. The bolts released from his hands. They shot directly at Alpha, and his body jolted from the overwhelming shocks.

"ARGHH!"

Luigi didn't stop there as he leaped forward and spayed more thunder from his palms. They coursed through Alpha's circuits until they were fried up and inadequate. The superior Shadeling went down onto the cold ground once more, feeling anemic for the first time ever. That goes to show when he underestimated Luigi and his friends.

On a hand and a knee, the plumber breathed heavily after another rousing, yet tough victory. He slowly stood up before sauntering over to the defeated Shadeling. Colombo, Tails, and Sonic rejoined him as they looked down at him as well.

"You guys alright?" Tails asked everyone.

"I'm good, buddy. How about you, Luigi?"

"A bit relieved, Sonic. Colombo?"

"Ruff!"

"Well, that's good at least," the fox wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"Yeah. I'm just glad this fight's over with."

Then, Luigi noticed something. "Hey, guys? Do you hear that?" It was a slow, beeping sound.

"Yeah, I do. Where's it coming from?"

Suddenly, Alpha was on his backup battery. His red eyes lit up. Another red light from his chest started to flicker, too.

"What the?! He's still alive?!" Sonic exclaimed.

"You may have won this battle, but you won't win the war. You still have to defeat my master and his partners."

"Partners?" Luigi thought, perceiving that he used the plural form. "But the only one left of Edge's main group is... Dimentio. That is, if he's already back. Who else is involved?"

"Furthermore, Myster Edge devised one more surprise if I was unsuccessful."

"Which you are," Sonic remarked.

"Shut up, rat." That made the hedgehog furious. How many times has he been called that? Too many, is the answer. "When all else fails, desperate times call for desperate measures. In this case, let it explode."

"Wait, what?" Tails was perplexed.

Luigi instantaneously realized what Alpha meant, especially when the light blinked faster. Alpha had a bomb planted in his body.

"GET BACK!"

He pushed all three several feet away from Alpha and opened up a Shriek Shield that was able to surround them. The incessant beeping was going crazy until the light was stationary. From there, Alpha blew up from a large explosion. The heroes inside the shield went flying upward as the roof and the rest of Vanilla Dome was absolutely obliterated. The detonation sent them over the plasma that they initially flew over.

When the barrier disappeared, all four screamed when they approached solid land. Luigi harshly went face first while Sonic and Tails fell on different sides of him. The Polterpup experienced another devastating fall when he dropped in front of Luigi. The heroes hit the ground and remained motionless. To add more stress to the situation, the sky in the Oblivion became more dangerous as it began to form extra dark, foggy clouds and glitches everywhere. But still, Luigi and his friends didn't get up. As seconds in the Oblivion were wasted, more time was dwindling down back on their planets.

END OF CHAPTER

Another Shadeling is down as Alpha will no longer appear for the remainder of this story. But that doesn't mean much after he executed a last-second suicide attempt against our quartet of heroes. And now, they're unconscious. Will fate be on their side? And can they recover as soon as possible?

Next time on Hidden Bravery, the scene in the prologue will finally come into significance. That's right. Luigi will be met with a nightmare he once had, and it will come true when the timing's right. But for now, let me know how this chapter went. Review, follow/favorite, and I'll see you for the moment you've probably waited for: Luigi vs. Mario. This is TGN, signing off.

Post-Chapter Notes:

(1): (SPOILERS!) In the upcoming sports game, Mario Tennis Aces, the story mode features Luigi being possessed by a dark force from something called the Legendary Racket. The general synopsis is that Mario has to go out to save him. There isn't a lot of extra information to further describe this journey based on what Nintendo has shown (as of this update).

(2): This PCN is re-edited because the idea where time goes by quickly in the Oblivion compared to the real world made the plot stupid and confusing to understand. Instead, time flows by at the same rate in all dimensions, including the Oblivion.
