The unknown leader stood in front of a glass tube, looking at thefigure inside with a scowl on his face. It was Luigi, suspended in aliquid solution, unconscious and vulnerable. The leader had justreceived news of his fourth commander's defeat at the hands of Marioand his friends, and he was not happy.
"I am extremely disappointed in your failure," theleader said, his voice cold and menacing.
The fourth commander stood before him, his head bowed in shame. "Iapologize, my lord. I did not expect them to be so strong."
The leader turned his attention to the fourth commander. "Youunderestimated them, and now we have lost an important asset. You arelucky I do not dispose of you right now."
The fourth commander shuddered at the thought. "Please, mylord. I am still of use to you. Let me prove it."
The leader considered his words for a moment before nodding. "Verywell. We will give you another chance. But this time, we will notunderestimate them. And we will also have a new experiment to test onour dear Luigi."
The fourth commander looked up, surprised. "What kind ofexperiment, my lord?"
The leader turned to the chaos heart suspended in the adjacentglass tube. "We will infuse him with the power of the chaosheart and make him fight his own brother. It will be a true test ofhis loyalty and strength."
The fourth commander looked uneasy at the idea. "But my lord,isn't that too dangerous? What if he can't handle the power?"
The leader smirked. "That is the point. We will use him as aweapon, and if he fails, we will dispose of him."
As the leader continued to discuss his plans, Luigi began to stirinside the glass tube. He was having a nightmare, a recurring onethat had been haunting him ever since he was captured by the unknownforce.
In his dream, he saw himself standing in a dark, empty void. Hefelt cold and alone, and he couldn't see anything around him.Suddenly, a voice boomed out from the darkness.
"You are nothing, Luigi. You are weak and worthless. You area failure to your family and friends."
Luigi tried to speak, to defend himself, but his voice was caughtin his throat.
"You will never be able to defeat Mario. He is stronger andbraver than you will ever be. You are nothing but a useless sidekick,a burden to everyone around you."
Tears began to stream down Luigi's face as the voice continued totaunt him. He felt helpless and powerless, trapped in this endlessnightmare.
Suddenly, he heard another voice, faint and distant. It was Mario,calling out to him.
"Luigi, wake up! You're not alone, we're here for you!"
Luigi's eyes snapped open, and he realized that he was stillinside the glass tube. He looked around, disoriented and frightened,until he saw Mario and his friends outside, watching him withconcern.
The fourth commander had been monitoring the situation from ahidden camera and smirked at the sight of Luigi's distress. "Soon,you will face your own brother in battle, and you will learn the truemeaning of loyalty."
As the leader walked away, leaving the fourth commander to stew inhis own thoughts, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt forwhat they were about to do to Luigi. But he knew that his duty to theunknown force was more important than any individual life, even hisown brother's.
Meanwhile, Mario and his friends were resting at the inn, unawareof the danger that awaited them. They were still reeling from theirfight with the fourth commander, and they knew that the unknown enemywas growing stronger with each passing day. But they were determinedto do whatever it takes to save Luigi and put an end to the unknownforce's plans once and for all.
