Mario couldn't stop his tears from running down his face.

Peach ran over to him, to calm him down. Mario immediately hugged peach as he cried. Peach rubbed his back and sighed.

"Oh Luigi, I hope you're okay.."


Luigi felt like his whole world was collapsing.. but he had to be strong for his brother... He dried his tears, he looked around from outside the cage, a ton of Koopas were taking him to the castle. What did they want with him?! Were they gonna put him in another cage hanging over lava?

They brought him inside. The lava made him quiver with fright; the heat made him sweat.

They then took him out of the cage, in front of the one and only.. Bowser..


Mario stretched out some construction paper and a white pen, then started writing down a plan.

"Okay, so his fortress is right here. We're right here. And how many miles does it take?"

He counted on his fingers. His eyes widened.

"No, no, no... It'll take me days to get there... That's too long! I need to get there as fast as possible!"

He slammed his hands on the table, he stared At the plan for a moment and felt a tear drop from his eye and onto the paper. His eyes widened. He wiped his eye and looked at it again.

"Aha! I can get there through a hot air balloon! That'll get me there sooner!"

Peach came in and closed the door behind her. She brought him a cup of coffee and put it on the table for him.

"Hey Mario, how's the plan going?"

"Well, I'm thinking of using a hot air balloon! That will get me there quicker than on foot right?"

Mario looked at her for support.

"Well... It's not exactly faster than foot, But.. we could go to the kongs and ask for karts?"

Mario shook his head.

"No... We've done that before. And remember? Plus, I don't think they'll give us the karts."

Mario sighed.

"I'll just have to go on foot then..."

Peach rubbed his back.

"Don't worry, we'll get him back. Real soon. And your not going alone.."

Mario smiled at peach.

Peach smiled back.

"Thanks peach.. I can always count on you.."

Peach blushed and smiled.


Bowser stepped up from his throne.

His steps shook Luigi to the ground.

Luigi gulped nervously..

He quickly got up.

Bowser went over to him.

Luigi finally had the chance to defend himself.

"What do you want with me?!"

Luigi snapped at Bowser.

This surprised Bowser. Bowser shook his head.

He rolled his eyes.

"Listen little human, I won't hurt you, not yet atleast.

Your going to babysit my young child."

Luigi went silent for a moment.

"You ruined a party.. just to have me Babysit?"

Bowser growled.

"I can kill you if you'd rather that than babysitting!"

"Wait no!- I'll babysit him!.."

"Good. Take him to juniors room."

The Koopas then pulled at him, signalling him to walk.

Luigi wondered... 'He has a son?.. That... Big...creature... has a son?..'
