Mario and Luigi climbed the Terror Terrance, looking around for King Boo. They entered a long hall, with Peach on the back wall, hang up like Mario was 2 years ago. Both of the Manfredi twins shivered in fear at the irony.
King Boo commented, "You know, your majesty, my plan to separate Mario and Luigi might have been foiled but..." He turned to look at the twins and added, "My plan to take over the kingdom will come true!"
Mario stood ready, getting his red fire started and stated, "You're not going to get away with this!"
King Boo laughed evilly and replied, "Wanna bet?!"
"M-Malleo and I will defeat us," Luigi managed to say, shaking.
King Boo replied, "I doubt that highly! And now, you two are coming with me!"
King Boo came towards them, his face looking dark. Luigi scrambled for the flashlight and used Stroboscope to flash King Boo. King Boo shield his eyes as Mario through a red fire ball at him. King Boo got burned from this as he snuffed it out, fast. Mario cursed under his breath. This battle was going to be long and hard. Luigi was still scared stiff. Luigi thought, 'Sure, I has been a pain in the neck to Mario but he's my brother. I'm not letting Mario down. Not again.'
"You are going down, King Boo," said Luigi as he gathered up green electricity and hurled the ball at King Boo.
Like the fire, King Boo shook off the electricity. It was going to be a very long fight. Luigi knew from experience that the Stroboscope and the Dark-Light Device would have little or no effect at all on King Boo. Granted, their attacks would weaken him but the master of all illusions was clever, evil, and powerful. Luigi did want to take down King Boo alone but knew better. Mario, on the other hand, followed his instincts and push Luigi out of the way. He quickly gathered his red fire power to burn King Boo again. But King Boo was ready for this and quickly used his illusion powers on Mario.
This made Mario think that the battlefield was a large pool of water. Mario quickly caught his breath, cursing before he did. In an instant, Mario's red flames were out and he couldn't use them. Luigi was on top of the water and on the side of the battlefield. The illusion was clearly strong enough for everyone to see. King Boo had gotten a lot stronger. Mario was badly getting beaten because he came under-prepared. Luigi got more and more upset as he made a fist. His whole body started to glow a brilliant green light. Luigi's body started to glow green more as he got more upset.
For the first time, he was going to use his emotions to his advantage. Finally, his whole body was cackling of green electricity and glowing of a green light. Just then, Mario surfaced and dragged himself to the sidelines. Once he caught his breath, he saw the same sight as everyone else did. Before Mario could react, Luigi dove into the water, causing the water to conduct it. King Boo was forced out of the water, hurt from the attack. Luigi came out next as he gathered some electricity around his fist, punching King Boo. The electricity went through King Boo this time as he got paralyzed from the attack.
Mario sat there in awe of his younger brother and the Thunderpunch he was using. Was this really happening? Was he really being the one on the sidelines? 'There is no way I'm missing this fight,' Mario thought. That's when everyone saw King Boo change the illusion from water to sand. Mario ran over to Luigi as he saw the supplies and grabbed them. Mario grabbed the ice flower and turned into his ice form. He changed the sand to ice, allowing Luigi to gain speed. Mario froze all of the spirit balls. When Luigi got behind King Boo, he zapped the king of illusions again.
The master of illusions cried out in agony as the battlefield actually turned back to normal. Luigi still wasn't calming down, in fear that he would lose this strong power he had. Anyways, King Boo floated up and actually produced his own lightning clouds and a maze that consisted with fire pits with underground lava. Mario powered up his own red fire power and was now glowing a magnificent red to Luigi's awesome green glow. King Boo cackled evilly at Manfredi's brothers and their determination to win.
"You two won't win," said the king of illusions.
Mario ignored King Boo and gave Luigi a boost up into the clouds. Mario dived into the lava as Luigi went from cloud-to-cloud. Mario stayed underneath the lava, like he was staying underwater. Just then, Luigi emerged from the clouds, making a green Thunderpunch. His body was glowing green and partially covered with dark gray clouds, making him look more dangerous.
Luigi started to say, "Want..."
Mario emerged from the lava, making a punch - a Fire Punch. His fist started to glow of fire. His body was glowing red as the lava made the glow much stronger and brighter.
Mario started to add, "To..."
Both brothers said, punching King Boo at the same time, "Bet!"
Both punches landed at the exact same time. King Boo yelped in pain and fainted towards the ground. Luigi grabbed the Poltergust 5000 and sucked King Boo into it. Everything went back to the right time as the kingdom was freed. Mario landed to the ground, turning back to normal. Luigi was the next to land on the ground, also turning back to normal. That's when both brothers struck a pose together, freeing Peach from her painting.
"Mario," she gushed, hugging and kissing Mario.
Mario blushed as Luigi laughed at the sight. Things were back to normal...sort of. There were still some things that needed to be done...
