Mario and Luigi were headed towards Terror Terrance, cutting through Boo Woods to get to Evershade Valley. The fog in Boo Woods wasn't as dense as it was three years ago during the first mansion incident but the fear was still fresh in their minds. Luigi was hesitant but still in the lead, checking on Mario every 5 minutes. Mario smiled a bit at the irony. Luigi made a fist as a thought crossed his mind. It couldn't have been possible, could it...? 'There's only one way of finding out,' Luigi thought, finally making up his mind.

Luigi bit his lower lip as he questioned, "Malleo?"

Mario perked up and asked, "Yes, Weegie?"

Luigi started to answer, "T-this might sound crazy but..."

Mario looked at his baby brother, who, at this point, lowered his hat over his eyes.

"Fratello," the red clad plumber asked.

"D-do you think we were being controlled to drift," the green clad ghost hunter finally questioned.

Mario froze as he asked, "Why do you think that?"

Luigi sighed and explained, "Well, with you spending more time with the princess, it would leave me vulnerable...causing Mr. L to return."

Mario perked up as he questioned, "What are you saying? Are you saying that King Boo did this so he could get his hands on you?"

Luigi answered, "Since I was the one that foiled his plans, yes, I am saying that."

Mario stated, "You could be right..."

'No, I KNOW he's right,' Mario thought, as he remembered what Elvin told him once during the Dark Moon incident.

-Flashback: 'Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'-

As Elvin put Polterpup down into the Vault, the ghost researcher told Luigi about the Toad assistant. Luigi agreed to go as soon as he got some food in his stomach. Elvin couldn't agree more as Luigi made the Manfredi world-famous spaghetti. After getting something in his stomach, Luigi went back into the mansion and saved two Toads: (Ivan and Jacob). However, Elvin forgot there were two Toads in the mansion and bopped poor Jacob in the nose. The green clad ghost hunter felt bad for the Toad. Anyways, the two of them even brought back another security image.

In the far left corner, the same two Boos that were carrying the portrait had the bag down a bit further. That's when the two heroes saw something horrid. Mario...was in the painting...and all of the sudden, King Boo was in the image. He laughed evilly as the screen went dark...

"No, no, no! This can't be happening! No, for the love of God, he can't be a freaking prisoner in a painting again, especially to King Boo!"

Luigi had been raving about this for awhile, ever since the image that Ivan and Jacob brought back to the Bunker revealed that Mario was a painting and in the possession of King Boo. Luigi was a complete basket case, blaming himself for everything that happened to Mario from the first mansion incident and beyond. The green clad ghost hunter went outside for air, not feeling well at all. Elvin couldn't help but feel worried. He usually didn't go meddling into family affairs but he knew that Luigi looked up to Mario. Elvin headed outside to find the younger Manfredi brother. But what he found instead was a very powerful (and very angry) Mr. L.

Mr. L's hands crackled of green electricity as he snarled at Elvin. Elvin gulped, surprised to see this person. 'Why does he look like Luigi,' Elvin thought, 'On top of that, he looks mean and nasty...'

Mr. L commented, "Well, well. What do we have here? A baby-old-man-scientist?"

Elvin stammered, "W-who are you?"

Mr. L answered, "Oh, me? I'm just one of Count Bleck's better minions. I am the Green Thunder, Mr. L! Remember it. Have at you!"

As he said that, the bandit went into battle and ran towards Elvin. The ghost researcher quickly ran and tried to get Mr. L down to the ground with a wrench. However, Mr. L was a bit faster as he jumped out of the way. Mr. L fired a thunderbolt towards Elvin. Elvin quickly ducked as he saw the Poltergest 5000 there. 'Wait, where's Luigi,' Elvin thought, worried, as his heart pounding in his ears. Knowing that he couldn't look for Luigi until he took care of Mr. L, he grabbed the Stroboscope. Elvin charged it up as Mr. L was about to lunge at Elvin again but then Elvin poked out of his hiding place.

The ghost researcher stammered, "S-say hello to my bright friend."

With that said, Elvin flashed Mr. L with the Stroboscope, making the bandit collapse to the ground. In an instant, he changed from Mr. L to Luigi. Elvin looked shocked as Luigi came to. That's when he saw Elvin with the Poltergest 5000 on his back. Luigi sat up as he groaned.

Luigi asked, "What happened?"

Elvin questioned, "Better question...who is Mr. L?"

Luigi paled hearing that name after the Chaos Heart incident a few months ago and answered, "I'll explain later, Elvin. Right now, I have a train to catch."

After getting ready for his mission, Elvin pixelated Luigi into the mansion, his heart pounding in his ears still. Granted, he might not have his answers...but he wanted them...

-End of Flashback-

Finally Mario admitted, "You're right. King Boo did separate us."

Luigi asked, "So what do we do?"

Before Mario could answer, the Manfredi twins saw that they were at a VERY large haunted mansion that looked run down and ancient.

The red clad plumber started to ask, "Is this...?"

The green clad ghost hunter answered, "Yeah. Terror Terrance."
