Night Horror

Chapter 15

Mario and Mike finally were able to continue forward. While Mario still was furious, he had calmed down enough for his Firebrand to be under his control. Mike was glad for that. Though he had to admit he was getting worried about Luigi too.

He turned to Mario and decided to make small talk, "So... you said that Luigi lost his memory?"

Mario nodded as he answered, "Yeah it's a long story."

Mike pointed out, "Well you can just tell me the shorter version."

Mario sighed and explained, "I guess I could try... You see, Cappy and I had just came back from the Moon Kingdom..."

...

Meanwhile, Luigi was trying his hardest to escape still. He knew Mario was out there. He had to try and escape.

Mr. L rolled his eyes, "Haven't you figured it out yet Junior? You're still hurt from Night-Horror's torturing."

Luigi sarcastically stated, "You just love to stand around, don't you?"

Mr. L pointed out, "Face it, we're gonna need saving this time around."

Luigi hissed, "I can't let Phantom Boo hurt Violet! Who knows what he's doing to her!"

Mr. L was pale, "Body-cold-as-ice surrendering was not apart of the agenda."

Luigi was the one to roll his eyes now. "Oh now you get it..."

Mr. L told him, "Hey, it just means pretty-princess-in-pink gets some time to shine."

Luigi mumbled to himself, "Why do I get the feeling Violet sent her dad...?"

Mr. L perked up, "Father-that-never-was-around? Why him?" Luigi was about to answer when they heard something. He asked, "Did you hear that?"

Luigi took a look and saw that Mike and Mario made it.

"They're here! They made it!" Luigi gushed. But the minute he saw that Mario was furious, Luigi was in shock. He asked, "He's mad...?"

Mr. L pointed out the obvious, "Of course he is Junior. You are his brother."

Mario was so furious that he started to speak in Italian. It confused the heck out of Mike and Hellen. But Luigi and Mr. L understood loud and clear.

"I'M COMING FOR YOU LUIGI! AND I PROMISE TO YOU! I WILL NEVER LET YOU GO AGAIN!"

That's when Mario powered up his Firebrand to Supernova Hot. Before Luigi knew what was happening, he felt himself being knocked out again.

...

"...Luigi...?"

Luigi was finally able to open his eyes. And to his complete surprise, Queen Jaydes was there.

He breathed, "Queen Jaydes...?" He slowly got to his feet and asked, "Wait... my games aren't over, are they?"

Queen Jaydes shook her head. "No, you are only out cold. I figured that this place would be safe since Phantom Boo is crossing a bit of a line." To that, Luigi raised an eyebrow. She explained, "The living and dead are not supposed to become one."

Luigi's eyes went wide with fear. "He's gonna try to marry Violet?! What am I supposed to do?!"

Queen Jaydes softly told him, "Please don't worry. They cannot marry promised people."

Luigi realized, "That may be true but once he finds out that Violet is engaged to me..." Now Luigi was really worried. He breathed, "He might kill her!"
