this is a replacement of the other continue project as that one was so bad it literally haunted me. mushroom kingdom. two weeks before 8:37 "come on, it wasn't that bad. only a few days this time." luigi grinned, speaking to his two companions. mario rolled his eyes with a laugh. the last member of the party was the well known princess peach, of the mushroom kingdom. they were walking away from a burning castle, where she had been held captive. the princess was known in the whole of the world, even outside the kingdom. she was constantly pursued by a turtle/dragon called bowser. of course, you know all this. the brothers are different. luigi is the humorous brother, trying to keep things smooth. his brother mario is the fire bomb with a temper, and its luigi's job to keep the shorter, but older, plumber from doing rash things. "why dont you two come to the castle tonight, a meeting to discuss some things?" the brothers nodded quickly when she spoke, mario being the one to start first. despite their unearthly surroundings, [massive mushrooms that can walk around, flying turtles, and the like] all three were human. the princess appeared here through a portal, and even she doesn't know anything before that. the brothers came through a pipe under their city, Brooklyn. they approach a creek. luigi quickly hops across while mario stays back for a moment. the princess floats accross as normal. luigi looks back to see mario with a yoshi egg. "making new friends?" the green clad plumber asks. his brother chuckles as he carefully picks up the fragile item. they continue home. that night they held a meeting to increase security in some places, and had a nice dinner. it was a late night, and the brothers slept in the next morning.
10:37, mushroom kingdom. luigi yawned as he set his mug down on the table. mario, across the table, was reading some mail. he shrugged and tossed it to the side, revealing another envelope. "great toads, one from the castle?" asked luigi, setting his mushroom coffee down with a thump on the table. they both stared at it for a few seconds, glanced at each other, then back at it. mario slowly picked it up, tearing it open. his eyes scanned the paper quickly, then he reread it. it took some time for the words to register in his mind. he slammed it down, snatched his hat, a bag of items which also contained his breakfast, and dashed out the door. luigi jumped at the noise, quickly picking up the letter and reading it. he too slammed it down and grabbed his hat. "the princess kidnapped again?" luigi groaned as they neared the toad houses. it was chaos, toads screaming in the street, items hurriedly discarded, and a group of toads around the castle door. mario continued at a run for the castle, while luigi grabbed an ice flower for later. he soon followed and found mario pushing through the crowd. "mario, bowsers castle is the other way, what are you doing here?" a toad asked, several others nodded. luigi knew that, "its not bowser, he's on vacation in the delfino isles!" the toads nearby gasped and immediately started thinking about who might have kidnapped the princess. while they did that, the brothers slipped into the castle unseen. they rushed about looking for any clues, mario even being bold enough to look in the princess's personal diary. well, it was only going to be the first few pages, but he got interested in it. finally, luigi entered the room and mario quietly set the book down. he shook his head when luigi asked if there was any clues in the room. they both left the castle, mario very thoughtful, and luigi slightly depressed. mario's head snapped up when he saw a very tired toad guard coming their way. "mario, quickly, bowsers castle! luigi you can go too." and with that he collapsed. some nearby toad people helped him away to rest. "i guess we know where to go then, mario?" luigi asked, and his brother nodded. mario put his hat, which he had in his hand the whole time, on his thick brown hair, looked straight at luigi, and said his first words of the morning. "lets'a go." this was very fun to make as i am a mario nerd XD also kinda challenging to continue the story without mario talking until the end XD [the second part]
