Mario The Music Box (Fanfiction)

Chapter 28: The Dreamaster

                    Luigi slowly opened his eyes and he could see a grey floor beneath him. He sharply gasped and rose his head a bit. His vision was temporarily impaired, so he could only see blurred figures.

                    'Am..... I dead.....?' 

                    "Oh, look who's awake! Did you enjoy your beauty rest? Sorry I had to knock you out there. But this was the only way I could bring you here. Hope you don't mind and all." Luigi looked towards the source of the voice. His vision began to clear and he could see the same girl that had knocked him out. He widened his eyes, and that's when the pain hit. He grunted, shutting his eyes. His head ached. It felt like it was on fire. That's right. He had been knocked out. But......

                   'This doesn't look like the afterlife.....' He tried moving, but he couldn't move. He looked down and could see a rope wrapped around his waist and arms.

                   "Huh, what-?!" He tried wriggling, but the rope wouldn't loosen. The rope extended to the ceiling where he was being hung. He looked back at her, asking,

                   "What's going on?!?! Where am I?!?!" She smirked then stepped to the side. Luigi went pale. Behind her was Riba. He was being hung on a rope by the waist as well. They both stared at each other, stunned. Clearly feeling awkward and weirded out, Luigi looked back her.

                   "What's going on! Answer me!! Why are we here!!!" The girl laughed and replied,

                   "We're inside your mind, Luigi. Like the changes I made to it?" Luigi widened his eyes and looked around. This was his mind? Now he understands what she meant by changes..... He then suddenly heard Riba ask,

                   "Hold on! You just said we were inside my mind!!" She looked at him and smirked.

                   "Oh, but we are. We're in all three of your minds as a matter of fact. I tethered all of your minds together." Riba was rendered silent with dilated eyes.

                   'She did what-?!' Luigi cocked his head.

                   "Three? What are you talking about? It's only just me and-" Luigi stopped when he looked in front of him. Riba was on his right while the girl stood in between them just standing there with a smug look. And in front of him was-

                  "Mario." His brother laid in front of him unconscious and there was a woman beside him on her knees. He cocked his head.

                  'Who-?' But his thoughts were soon interrupted.

                  "Stop fretting Alice. He'll be waking up soon. Don't worry," said the girl beside Luigi. Luigi widened his eyes, his breath caught in his throat.

                  'Alice?! What is she doing here-?!' Alice turned to look at the girl who spoke to her with a girl, then at Luigi. Fear and anger racked through Luigi's body and he just grit his teeth, looking away.

                  'The universe is really against me today.........' he thought, tired. The ropes were starting to make his entire body really sore, and he had no choice but to endure it.

                  'Mamma mia, these ropes are driving me insane.....  well, at least Mario is ok......' he thought, sweat falling from his forehead. Alice yelled out,

                  "You wanna tell me what's going on?! Why are we here?!" The girl laughed and said,

                  "Patience. I want everyone to hear." Right at that exact moment, Mario stirred and he woke up. He slowly sat up and the first person he saw was-
