Super Poyo Mario! (An SPM AU)

All Better Now

--------------

Mario hummed to himself as he walked into the little office. He was using a Doctor copy ability and currently had a clipboard in his hand as he walked inside. O'Chunks was sitting on a patient's table and fidgeting as Mario walked up with a small reflex hammer in hand.

"Oi, 'ow much longer is dis gonna take?" O'Chunks questioned.

"I just need to test your reflexes and you'll be good to go!" Mario said.

Mario lightly tapped his knee and O'Chunks kicked the hammer into the wall. The Warrior in red blinked for a moment before turning back to O'Chunks.

"Good news! I'll have you out in a few moments!" Mario cheered.

O'Chunks smirked and pumped his fist in victory as Mario walked out. Mario closed the door to the room and then walked down the hall to where Blumiere was waiting. It had been a few weeks, but everyone was now awake and no longer a sickly grey color.

"So? Is O'Chunks alright? His crystal was hit, after all." Blumiere pointed out.

"He has some slight bruising near his chest, but he's fine!" Mario replied, deactivating his Doctor copy ability.

Just then, both Blumiere and Mario turned to see Timpani walking over, using a Doctor copy ability herself from checking up on a few of the others.

"Mimi and Nastasia are both doing fine as well," Timpani said with a smile.

"What about Luigi?" Mario asked.

Timpani giggled and stepped to the side, revealing Luigi standing there with a smile on his face.

"LUIGI!" Mario exclaimed.

"MARIO!" Luigi called back.

The two brothers rushed up to each other and wrapped their arms around the other in a hug.

"I was so worried about you!" Mario cried.

"I wasn't worried! Well, maybe a little... But I knew that you were going to save me!" Luigi chirped.

Mario chuckled as he pulled away from his brother with a smile.

"Well, I definitely had help," Mario said.

Luigi nodded in response as Blumiere and Timpani smiled.

"So, is everyone else okay too? I don't really know what all actually happened after I got dragged in..." Luigi trailed off.

Timpani nodded cheerfully in response.

"Yup! Nastasia just had cracked glasses, Mimi was fine, O'Chunks just has a little bruising, and Mr.L just had a fainting episode, so he's fine." Timpani explained.

Luigi paused for a moment, tilting his head in confusion.

"Wait, what about Dimentio?" Luigi asked, "You didn't say his name."

Timpani paused and looked at Blumiere, who returned her nervous expression.

"We... Don't know where he went," Blumiere admitted.

"We don't know if he's injured or fine... But I have no idea where he could have gone." Timpani murmured.

Luigi nodded sadly in response. The Warrior in green paused and then felt around his hat, feeling like he was missing something.

"Hey... Where did my warp star go?!" Luigi exclaimed.

"I think Mr.L might still have it?" Mario offered.

Luigi sighed heavily in exhaustion.

"Do any of you know where I could find him?" Luigi asked.

"I think he may still be by the shipwreck?" Blumiere replied, "He seems to be quite attached to his machinery."

"I thought that was your ship?" Mario questioned.

Blumiere shrugged a little as Luigi started for the door.

"He seems to want it more than me, and all it does is bring back unwanted memories for me," Blumiere stated.

"Well, I'm gonna try and find Mr.L," Luigi replied, "I'll be back in a bit!"

Luigi waved goodbye to Mario as he walked through the door, leaving the other three Star Warriors to themselves. Timpani giggled and took Blumiere's hand.

"Come on, Blumi! Let's go get everyone else and show them around Popstar." Timpani said.

Blumiere nodded with a smile on his face.

"That sounds like an excellent idea to me," Blumiere told her.

Luigi hummed to himself cheerfully as he walked down to the sandy beaches, unable to fly there because of not having a warp star. The green Star Warrior simply looked around at all the scenery as he went, in a cheerful mood.

"I hope that I won't catch Mr.L at a bad time." Luigi hummed.

Luigi ran to the edge of the sandy beach and could see the ship remains near the water, and coming out of the ship was Mr.L with their warp star in hand.

"Hey! Mr.L!" Luigi exclaimed.

Mr.L flinched and almost dropped the star in his hand as Luigi sprinted over, a wide smile on his face.

"Mr.L! I was wondering if I could have at least half of my warp star back?" Luigi asked, "I know that you need some of it too to survive, so we can just go back to sharing if that's okay!"

Mr.L paused and looked between the star and Luigi, looking like he had been caught in the middle of a crime.

"Uhhh... Not right now." Mr.L replied, "I need it for... something?"

"You don't sound very certain." Luigi pointed out.

"Look, just go back to your brother and I'll give you back half of the star later, alright?" Mr.L said, walking back inside the ship, "And tell him that you still owe me for wrecking my ship."

Mr.L pulled out a small device that looked close to a compass and peered down at it.

"What's that?" Luigi asked.

Mr.L jumped again, pocketing the compass-like object.

"None of your business!!!" Mr.L retorted, "Now get! I have somewhere I need to be."

"Why would you need my warp star? Everything is in reasonable walking distance on Popstar." Luigi said, "Unless..."

"I know what you're thinking, and NO. I am NOT using the warp star to travel off-world." Mr.L replied.

"I was gonna say that you were late for something, but now that you mention it-" Luigi paused and gasped, "You're gonna try and find Dimentio!"

Mr.L quickly shook his head in denial.

"No I'm not!" He exclaimed.

"Ooh! I wanna help!" Luigi cheered, "That way you can have some backup!"

" I don't NEED backup, alright?" Mr.L retorted, pushing past Luigi and walking outside.

"Come ONNNNN! Pretty please?!" Luigi begged.

Mr.L scoffed and rolled his eyes as he pulled out the compass again.

"NO." Mr.L spat.

Luigi harrumphed and crossed his arms with a huff.

"If you don't let me come, I'll tell everyone else where you're going!" Luigi exclaimed.

"You wouldn't." Mr.L glared.

Luigi smirked in response and Mr.L let out a shout of frustration.

"FINE. You can come." Mr.L spat.

"YAAAAAY!" Luigi cheered.

"But ONLY if I call the shots!" Mr.L retorted, "I don't want Dimentio to somehow vanish off of the face of the galaxy in an attempt to hide."

Luigi nodded eagerly in response.

"Okay! Let's go!" Luigi said.

Mr.L sighed and pulled out the warp star, making it grow in size so the two of them could ride it.

"Please don't make me regret this." Mr.L groaned.
