Numbness shocked through his body. Was he smiling? He didn't know. He didn't want to know. He barely knew what was happening, but he charged forwards as if he did. He stopped as quickly as he began running, and kicked Oleander in the ribs. The doctor groaned in pain. A horrible snap distracted him from the flames. Oleander landed in the house, catching fire quickly. The doorframe collapsed as he tried escaping, crushing him at the shoulders.
Luigi stared down at him. Should he help?
No.
Not after the experiments.
Not after the dismemberment.
Not after those godawful sounds.
Not after cutting him off from his friends and family.
Not after taking his humanity by force.
And especially not after rewiring his brain to force him to kill.
Luigi clenched his fists and ran away, leaving Oleander to die. To die like he deserved to.
He began breathing heavily as he ran off, suddenly realising that he didn't know where he was. He refused to stop moving, even when he began growing tired and sore.
Streetlights. He saw streetlights. He got so excited, and picked up the pace. Once he made it to the road, however,  everything was spinning, and moments before he lost consciousness, he heard something.
"You're free now..."
Mayday whispered.
He awoke to someone... petting him.
He wondered why for a moment, then he remembered.
"What is this guy?"
Someone said.
"No idea, but he's alive. Maybe he's friendly!"
Luigi grumbled, standing up, using one hand to steady him. He looked to see who stopped for him, and was rather surprised.
Two Beanish people, young but either adults or almost adults. He wasn't sure which. They looked up in awe.
Luigi blinked.
"Er... hello there..."
They seemed surprised he was able to talk. In all fairness, though, he was made into a rabbit-like animal. If he saw something of that sort speak, he would be surprised as well.
"Yeah... long story, I'll get into it later if I get the time. See, I don't really know where I am..." Luigi looked around, "I can guess, but I might be wrong anyway..."
"Oh! You're in BeanBean Kingdom!"
"... I suppose I was right then. Well, to cut it short, I'm not from here, I got kidnapped at some point, used in experiments, and now I'm this... I don't actually know what this is... point is, do you know anyone who can help?"
"Yeah!" One piped up, "We can help you find Prince Peasley! He'll know what to do, I'm sure of it!"
Luigi pauses for a second. Prince Peasley...
He smiled and went with them. With all that anger, guilt, and sadness from before coming to haunt him forever, he's beyond happy that someone is here to help. He was on the verge of tears just thinking of it.
He managed to squeak out a little "Thank you" as they went on their way.
