Disclaimer: I do not own any of the material appearing in this story.
So remember when I had the group split up for a bit last chapter and I showed Mario's group, consisting of Mario(obviously) RWBY, Sun and Neptune? Well here's Luigi's side of the story of his group, JNPR and Booniper, Zwei, Yoshi and Poochy, and the Blood Gulch crew.
"So, see you soon?" Luigi asked.
"Yeah." Mario nodded, both of them fist bumping and going their separate ways.
"Alright, let's-a go!" Luigi said and walked off with his group. "Just as long as there's no ghost houses around."
"Oh god, that's all we need." Grif groaned as they headed off while Mario and his group went off to their own path.
"So, do you think we'll encounter anything out of the ordinary?" Donut wondered.
"This whole place is out of the ordinary!" Church said. "I mean, semblance? People that can jump abnormally high? A green dinosaur? A TURTLE KIDNAPPING A PRINCESS?! I mean, you can't make this shit up!"
"But at least we're here to believe it with our own eyes." Sarge told him.
"Yes! Imagine all the adventures we can do!" Caboose said.
"As long as it doesn't involve that lady that sounds like Tex." Church muttered.
"You mean Glynda?" Jaune asked.
"Yeah, her."
"Who's Tex?" Pyrrha wondered.
"Let's just say she's a person that you really don't want to meet. In fact, there was one time she pulled someone's skull out of their body and beat the living hell out of him with it."
Luigi turned around with a raised eyebrow. "That doesn't seem physically possible…"
"That's exactly what her victim kept blabbing until he died." Church told him. "Trust me, you don't wanna get on her bad side."
"At least she's hot when she's angry!" Sister grinned.
"…Wait, what?" Pyrrha asked.
"I don't even know how to respond to that." Ren said as they soon saw a cave in front of them as they all then entered.
World 2-2: Not-so-creepy cave
Underground (Super Mario World)
"Mama mia…" Luigi sighed as they walked around.
"What's wrong?" Nora asked.
"I… don't like caves very well." Luigi said.
"Especially since it could have bats." Grif shivered.
"Oh come on, it can't be that bad." Jaune turned his head to him. "Besides, what's the worst that can happen?" He asked as he turned around… and a Swoop smacked into him. "AAAAAAH! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!" He yelled, running around and trying to get the Swoop off of him.
"That can happen." Donut said.
"Jaune, hold still!" Pyrrha requested, trying to get him to hold still so she can get it off.
"Those are called Swoops. They come in many colors. Green, purple, blue…"
"Blue?!" Sarge growled. "I knew it! I knew bats were part of the blue team!"
"THEY AREN'T!" Church yelled.
"That was a purple bat!" Grif exclaimed. "If there's one thing worse than a bat, IT'S PURPLE BATS! What's next, a green one?"
"Yo Yo Yoshi!" Yoshi said, proceeding to stick his tongue out and grabbing the Swoop off of Jaune and then eating it. "Yoshi!"
"…Did he just eat that?" Simmons asked, and then an egg popped out of Yoshi's tail. "And did he just-" He was then interrupted when Yoshi aimed the egg and threw it, hitting a few Buzzy Beetles and a Swoop before it exploded into a few coins. "DID HE JUST…?!"
"I don't remember him eating a coin…" Caboose mused.
"Did he just… What… I… HOW?!" Church yelled.
"It's best if you don't think about it." Luigi said as they kept going, even though the Reds and Blues and JNPR were trying to figure out what they just saw. As they kept going, some pillars rose and fell, attempting to crush them but they got through them okay as they saw some Buzzy Beetles.
"So, are those Koopas?" Nora asked.
"Buzzy Beetles. They're impervious to fire, so a Fire Flower won't do anything to them." Luigi said as he noticed Church getting on his stomach and aiming.
"Not unless you hit their heads." Church said, aiming carefully and shooting the Buzzy Beetle, but he was just a little off and it hit its shell, as it ricocheted off and hit a few more Buzzy Beetle shells until one bounced off on top of one and struck a Swoop, knocking it off and it fell, dead. "I… uh… meant to do that. Yes! I totally did that! That totally counted! Woohoo!"
"No, it doesn't count. You were aiming for the Buzzy Beetle. Hitting that bat does not count as a kill." Grif said.
"A fair effort though." Sarge said.
"DAMMIT!" Church yelled.
"So, what are you gonna do?" Simmons asked.
"Well… if there's one thing I'm gonna do…" He put his Sniper Rifle on his back. "I'm pretty sure you're sensing it, so I'm just gonna say… on the count of three!"
"Uh…" Ren blinked.
"One. Two. Three!"
"GOD DAMMIT, BARB!" They yelled.
"Seriously, who the heck is Barb?" Luigi asked.
"I don't know and I don't know WHY we're affiliating Yang with Barb, but I swear, it has something to do with her!" Simmons said.
"Totally, she messed me up for crying out loud! I blame her!" Church said, as Luigi sweatdropped.
"Is he normally like this?" He asked, whispering to Sarge.
"Oh yes, he's got quite the temper." He whispered back as they proceeded onward, using the rising platforms for help and then they saw a green Warp Pipe amongst the orange Warp Pipe.
"I wonder…" Luigi mused as he hopped into the Warp Pipe, as he went in as the others curiously followed.
It was then that they saw a vine coming out of a ? block and Luigi was already climbing it as they climbed up as Yoshi carried Poochy and Zwei and Luigi then saw a keyhole as he picked up the key and put it in the keyhole, where a warp pipe came up.
"So, unlocking a Keyhole produces a warp pipe… I don't get it." Church said. "How does that make sense?!"
"The world is full of mysteries, Church!" Caboose said.
"Not helping!" Church exclaimed as they hopped into the Warp Pipe, where they came across a Green ! Switch out in open day light.
Pause BGM
"Oooh, what does that do?" Nora asked.
"If I had to guess, it'll produce blocks." Luigi said. "That's just my guess."
"Bull. Shit. There's no such thing as that!" Church said. "If anything, it'll do something weird."
"Like that?" Sarge pointed up as they saw green ! blocks flying everywhere as Church turned to Caboose who touched it.
"What? It looked inviting." He said as Church facepalmed.
"Alright, so let's-a go back." Luigi said as they nodded and hopped back into the warp pipe.
Resume BGM
As they proceeded where they left off, they noticed a ! block that they haven't seen before as Luigi curiously pressed it as two Fire Flowers came out as he took the first one and absorbed it while the other gently landed in Pyrrha's hands where she absorbed it.
Her armor had gained fire painted on all sides as there were two stripes going down in front of her armor as her gloves turned white, and her short shorts had a Fire Flower drawn on it complete with a few fireballs as her boots turned white as well as there was an orange streak going down her hair. Her shield had a Fire Flower painted on it as well with a white trim around the shield, as her sword remained the same, except it was a little more dark red.
"Whoa!" Nora exclaimed.
"You look hot!" Sister said and looked at Jaune. "Dude! How come you haven't asked her out yet?"
"Me!? B-but we're just fri-"
"If you won't, then I will!"
"…Wait, WHAT?" He exclaimed as Pyrrha also looked at Sister as if she lost her mind as they kept going while Luigi was explaining the Fire Flower to them as a Swooper came into view as Pyrrha aimed her hand at it and a stream of fire proceeded to burn it alive.
"Whoa, nice!" Luigi grinned.
"Anyone got marshmallows?" Sarge asked as they walked further until they saw an exit to the cave as they soon walked out of it.
End BGM
But as they got out, they saw something that made Luigi pale up. "Oh no…" He groaned.
Jaune looked worried. "Is that-"
"Yep, it's a Ghost House." Luigi sighed, looking at Booniper who only cackled lightly.
"Um… no thanks, I'll pass." Grif said as he turned around, but Sarge took his arm.
"Come on, Grif! You just gotta think positive! It's not like you'll be possessed by any of them!" Sarge said.
"NO! NO! I DON'T WANNA!" He yelled.
"Come on, you pansy!" Simmons said, pushing Grif inside.
"NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Come on, Jaune! It can't be too bad! You warmed up to Booniper!" Nora smiled, dragging Jaune.
"Yes, but… ever heard of baby steps? Nora? Nora! NOOOORA!" He cried, but it was too late.
"Just hearing that name makes me wanna scream it." Simmons grumbled.
"I wonder if they can hear it from here?" Church wondered.
"Wanna find out?"
"Yes."
Luigi stared into the Ghost House, not wanting to go inside, but Yoshi, Poochy, Zwei and Booniper decided to give him a little nudge, and by nudge, I mean they were pushing him inside. "Perche io?!" (Why me?!) He cried in Italian.
World 2-Ghost House: Luigi's Nightmare
BGM: Waltz of the Boos (Super Mario Galaxy)
"Wow, this isn't so bad!" Caboose said as they heard screaming from Church and Simmons. "Wow, they must really like her."
"Them liking Yang? Not in a million years!" Donut said.
"How about a million and one years?"
"…Still most likely not going to happen."
"Come on, Jaune! What's the worst that can happen?" Nora asked.
"Uh… how about that?" Sarge asked, pointing up to see a huge Boo Swarm right when Caboose and Simmons entered… and Luigi, Jaune and Grif were screaming and hugging each other.
"…Okay, ladies. Break it up." Church said as they kept on going while keeping an eye on the pesky Boos that attempted to follow them, but luckily they were kept at bay from NPR… while Jaune tried not to scream like a little girl as they kept going as Yoshi attempted to eat a Boo.
"You… can't… eat… Ghosts!"
Yoshi frowned and spat out the Boo… who looked a little mortified that he was inside a dinosaur's mouth. "Yo…" Yoshi pouted and kept going as Poochy and Zwei were growling at them but they kept going with them, and when they went into a door, it looked like they were in the same area.
"Wait, weren't we just here?" Ren asked.
"G-G-Ghost houses c-can be a bit tricky…" Luigi timidly said as they kept going into doorways, trying to find their way out.
"Okay, it's official! We're lost!" Grif said.
"Lost?! No! We can't be lost!" Luigi exclaimed. "We gotta get outta here before the walls close in or something!"
"GHOST HOUSES CAN DO THAT?! LET ME OUT OF HERE! I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIIIIE!" Grif screamed.
"I DIDN'T NEED TO HEAR THAT, LUIGI!" Jaune screamed.
"…We've been here for five minutes." Doc said.
"Agh! Where'd you come from?!" Donut asked.
"Five minutes and they're already losing it." Sarge said. "I say we keep Luigi and Jaune while we ditch Grif!"
"…You are the worst sergeant ever… of all time." Ren said.
"Heh, that's what Grif keeps telling me." Sarge chuckled as they kept going until a minute later (Which felt like eternity for three certain scaredy cats) they found the exit.
"Hey ladies! We found the exit!" Church told them… and just like they, the three zoomed past them and ran out the door while some Boos looked at the trio and one of them twirled his stubby hand around his head, saying that they were crazy as the other Boo nodded as the others calmly walked out, as they saw the trio lying on their backs, looking exhausted.
End BGM
"Mama mia… never again…!" Luigi said.
"You said it…" Jaune sighed.
"If I see another Ghost House, I'm going to scream…" Grif said.
"Get up, you lazy bones!" Sarge ordered. "We gotta go through another area!"
"Great…" Grif groaned as they got up and walked forward.
World 2-3: Fuzzy Country
BGM: Athletic (Super Mario World)
"Well, this place isn't so bad." Jaune said as they walked forward, as they jumped across the various rotating platforms with ease, dodging the various Paratroopas that attempted to dive bomb them but they kept their ground as they kept pressing forward.
But as soon as they got further, they noticed quite a spectacle… there were Grimm that dead on the ground that were fading away, and a few dead Koopas that had their life sucked out of them.
End BGM
"Wh-wh-what the heck?!" Jaune exclaimed.
"I… think we should head back." Grif said.
"Nonsense! We must be close to something huge and can put up a fight!" Sarge said.
"Well said, sir!" Simmons said.
"Kiss ass." Church muttered as they had their weapons at the ready and then Yoshi turned his head to something, as he then growled and got into a fighting position.
"Wh-what is it, Yoshi?" Luigi asked as they turned to some trees as a Beowolf quickly emerged as it was trying to get something off of him, as it looked at the gang before falling to the ground… dead and then fading away.
"Did that Grimm just die on its own?" Nora wondered.
"Look! On its back!" Ren pointed as they saw one little Fuzzy hopping off of the Grimm and looked at it before nodding in satisfactory.
"What's that?" Jaune asked. "…And why are you shaking?"
"Th-that's a Fuzzy! And… well… they tend to drink your health away to restore theirs… a-and they multiply too!" Luigi said.
"WHAT?! PLEASE TELL ME YOU DID NOT JUST SAY THAT THEY'RE BLOOD SUCKERS!" Grif yelled.
"They are… and… and… oh no, it spotted us!" Luigi exclaimed as they turned to the little Fuzzy as the Fuzzy stared at them, contemplating on what to do with them. "Th-they're quite the nuisance in the Mushroom Kingdom…"
"Those little guys? They can't be that bad." Church said.
The Fuzzy decided what to do. "Meeeeyork! Meeeyork!" It cried loudly, causing Luigi to pale.
"Oh no…"
"What's wrong?" Pyrrha asked.
"They usually say that when they have their eyes locked on to you… and when there's multiple people at once who can put up a fight against it…" Luigi gulped, as they soon saw a lot of Fuzzies come to them, as there were at least hundreds of the little guys.
"Any suggestions?" Grif asked.
"…RUN!"
"RIGHT BEHIND YOU!"
"No! We stay and fight these little bastards!" Sarge said. "How bad can they be?" He asked as Nora had caught Grif and Luigi, forcing them to stay.
"W-well… l-let's-a go…!" Luigi groaned as they saw a Golden Fuzzy, most likely the leader of the pack, as it sounded its war cry and they all charged.
BGM: A Powerful Enemy Emerges (Super Paper Mario)
The Fuzzies all hopped towards them all as they proceeded to shoot them as Yoshi threw eggs at them, defeating a couple of them, while Luigi threw multiple fireballs at them, but they soon caught to them as Booniper quickly picked up Poochy and Zwei, even though Zwei really wanted to fight with them.
A Fuzzy latched onto Ren and bit his leg. "Yow!" He exclaimed and shook it off, knocking the Fuzzy away as it then proceeded to multiply, as it had drained a little of his health, and they soon realized that they were surrounded.
"Oh that's just great!" Grif exclaimed as they kept shooting them as some of them got on him. "AAAAAAAAH! GET 'EM OFF! GET 'EM OFF!"
"Grif! Hold still! I'll shoot them off!" Sarge said, as he aimed his shotgun and pulled the trigger… but it only hit Grif and knocked him down, but it did knock the Fuzzies off of him. "Got 'em!"
Grif painfully raised his finger. "A-agh…! Screw… you…!"
"Not even a 'thank you'?" Sarge wondered before he went back to blasting more Fuzzies as Pyrrha aimed her shield and used her polarity to throw it hard, and since the Fire Flower was still active, two streams of fire emerged from both ends of the shield while a ring of fire surround the shield, burning up several Fuzzies in the process as Nora spotted a ? Block in the distance.
"Oh!" She exclaimed as she quickly launched herself from her hammer to go get it.
"Where the hell is she going?!" Simmons asked.
"Hello, Fuzzies! I want you to all be my friends!" Caboose said.
"I want one of you to go inside me!" Sister said.
"Wait, WHAT?!" Grif yelled, can't believing what he just heard his sister say as even a few Fuzzies near her backed away slowly. They kept going strong, but the Fuzzies were too many as they just kept multiplying, no matter how many of them Yoshi ate and threw the eggs back at several Fuzzies… they were quickly overwhelmed.
"INCOOOOMIIIIIIING!" Nora's voice yelled as she landed on the ground.
"Where'd you go?!" Jaune asked, blocking a Fuzzy with his shield and swinging his sword at it.
"Getting a Power-up!" Nora smiled, pulling out an Invincibility Star.
"That's an Invincibility Star! Use it!" Luigi requested as he was soon tackled to the ground by the Fuzzies, along with Church who couldn't even hit one. "AAAAAH!"
"GET 'EM OFF!"
"Hehehe…" Nora smirked and then absorbed it, but unlike the normal rainbow-like force field that normally happens, her whole body was crackling with electricity, as a few sparks popped out of her body too as a few Fuzzies hopped on to her, only to get a very painful zap as that actually killed them… but Nora wasn't done yet.
"AHAHAHAHA!" She yelled and then jumped into the air, having her hammer at the ready, but then summoned her Valkirye Club as she smirked maniacally and then launched herself downward, smacking the two on the ground together, creating an enormous electrical storm and shockwave that was a half a mile wide and a mile high into the sky, scaring a few seagulls in the process.
When the electrical storm ended, all the Fuzzies in the area were completely evaporated by the electrical storm, while the remaining Fuzzies that saw this that attempted to come help quickly got the hell out of there.
As for the others?
Well, let's just say that their hair was sticking up. Those without helmets at least.
End BGM
"No! Wait, come back! I want to keep one of you as a pet!" Caboose exclaimed, but it was too late. "Aww…"
"Anyone else feel a bit tingly?" Donut asked.
"I do! That was awesome!" Sister grinned excitedly.
"Well that was certainly… uh… shocking…" Jaune said as they attempted to put their hair back down while Pyrrha was a bit of a challenge but they managed to get her hair straightened out, while Nora just stood there giggling with a smile.
"Just what ARE you?!" Church asked.
"Nora Valkirye, duh!" Nora smiled.
"Her semblance is absorbing electricity." Pyrrha said.
"And that Invincibility Star turned her into a Power Plant for Christ's sakes!" Church exclaimed.
"You say that like it's a bad thing!" Nora smiled as they proceeded onward as Luigi took off his hat to put his hair down before putting his hat back on, and then, they saw Mario's group in the distance.
Back in the present…
"And that's what went down." Luigi said.
Mario sweatdropped. "Well, that's… one way to get rid of Fuzzies, I guess."
"How are you guys even alive from that electrical storm?" Nyx asked.
"Honestly, I'm not even sure myself." Church said.
"I'm not even sure if that's even my Final Smash!" Nora giggled.
"If that is, I'd be shocked…" Yang said.
"OH GOD DAMMIT, BARB!" Church and Simmons yelled, as Yang just playfully stuck her tongue out at them.
"Riiiight… shall we get going?" Blake asked.
"Yeah!" Mario nodded as the reunited group took off.
I'd make a pun about the Fuzzies shocking defeat against Nora (Oh wait, I just did! Hehehe!) but apparently, you can now customize your own character in Sonic Forces.
And there's an ARMS Direct with a new trailer for Splatoon 2 tomorrow, just throwing that out there.
