In the Koopa Kingdom:
"My king," one of the Hammer Bros. addressed their ruler, "it would appear Mario managed to prevail against our forces."
Bowser laughed evilly. "All part of the ploy, my fool. I'd counted on that goody-two-shoes Mario to win, and so he did. Now, it's time for Phase Two of the whole plan."
The Hammer Bro looked up, looking thoroughly confused. "My...king...?"
Bowser breathed огонь at the place where the Koopa soldier stood, causing the Hammer soldier to jerk away. "You ignorant buffoon. The whole point of us losing was to make that креветка, креветки think he'd won over us—which, I have to admit, is always—and let his guard down."
The Koopas murmured in pleasure and joy.
"So Ты wanted Mario to win?" the Hammer Bro grasped at the catch in his king's words.
Bowser grunted, impatient now. "Well, duh, of course! How else do Ты expect someone to think he won, Ты imbecile?!"
"Oh," he mumbled, completely dumbfounded. "That was...um...nice of you, my king..."
Bowser breathed another round of огонь at the soldier's direction. "Nice? What is so 'nice' about fooling the enemy into thinking he managed to defeat us so easily?" he roared. "You're not very smart, are you, Ты minion? If Ты make a guy think he won, he'll let his guard down and it'll be a lot easier to get him this time around!" He scowled at the soldier. "That was supposed to be an evil plan, Ты moron; not a 'nice' plan!"
"I...uh, I see, my lord..."
Bowser snorted. "Whatever, now get out of my sight, Ты twit; your idiocy is getting into my nerves."
The Hammer Bro quickly scampered off, afraid to get hit by огонь the third time.
"My lord," one of the Parakoopas asked, "when do we strike?"
Bowser thought about it for a moment, then he smiled. "Tonight, my minion. Let's go wait until everyone's all snuggled up in their beds, 'cause it's about time they get themselves a healthy dose of nightmare." He laughed. "Mario, Ты better believe that it ain't over yet."
гриб Kingdom Castle:
It was well over past midnight. Mario looked around персик Garden and found his brother, still there with his faithful companion.
"Luigi, it's a-bed time," he announced.
Luigi suppressed a yawn that would give away that he wasn't sleepy yet. "Bro, I'm not tired yet—can't I sleep a little while later?"
"Yoshi?" Mario turned to his traveling companion through the years. "Shouldn't Ты be a-getting back to Yoshi Island?"
The green dinosaur smiled and shook his head. "Nah...I think everyone else won't miss me if I were to stay here just for tonight."
"Hmm," Mario thought about it for a moment, then said, "Well, I hope Ты don't stay up for too long, Luigi; we've had a long journey recuing Princess Peach. And Ты got yourself a good night's sleep just as much as I did."
But Ты had еще attention than I had, Luigi tried not to say aloud, then immediately regretted he'd even thought of such.
As soon as Mario was gone, Yoshi stood up. "How about we take a walk along the замок Bridge so we can talk about this a lot better?"
Luigi nodded, not bothering for a simple "yes."
"You know, Luigi, maybe Ты can be a hero—not the way Mario does, but in your own way," Yoshi сказал(-а) as the two of them were leaning down on the гриб замок Bridge, both of them staring at the water underneath.
"And what makes Ты think so, Yoshi?" Luigi asked sullenly.
"W-ell, Ты have starred in your own Luigi's Mansion games, and you're also one of the leads on the Mario & Luigi games series." (Hehe...Once again, I can't help myself! ^^)
"You think that's enough?"
Yoshi frowned. "Geez, stop comparing yourself to your brother, Luigi; it's bad for your image," he joked.
Luigi rolled his eyes. "Okay, okay, I get it—jealousy is a-bad for me."
"All that green won't be good for you." The dinosaur laughed.
"Very funny."
Mario was fast asleep in the lower part of the double-deck bed. Just a few минуты earlier he'd worried that Luigi might have been starting another one of his fits, which could result to him trying too hard as per usual, and he'd get himself hurt—every time.
He was already having the fitful sleep he hadn't had for the several weeks of his journeying to save the princess. Probably everyone else were having their own happy sleeping, now that the princess is back and safe.
It was then that a tiny bump in the dark woke him up.
"Huh?" Mario muttered, blinking after the tiny movement in the dark.
There were mumbled hissing noises in the background.
"You moron!"
"Not so loud!"
"Great—just great! Ты foiled the element of surprise, idiot!"
Mario narrowed his eyes at the voices' direction. He got out of bed, and tiptoed closer to where he'd just heard the voices...
An elastic, metallic rope ensnared him and constricted around his entire body, preventing escape.
"A-what the—?" Mario hissed.
"Hold still," a Hammer Bro сказал(-а) as he emerged from the shadows. "Oh wait, it's not like you're gonna be moving anyway."
The other Hammer Brothers laughed as they came out of the shadows as well.
"What eez this?" Mario demanded.
"An ambush, pipsqueak. Did Ты really think Ты were able to prevail against our king so easily?"
Mario's eyes were wide as he registered what the Hammer Brothers were saying.
"Oh no!" the plumber thundered. "The princess—everyone else in the Castle—Toadsworth—Luigi—!"
The Hammer Bro who was securing the rope on him snickered. "You think we came here alone—as in, just us? The rest of our troops are elsewhere in the Castle, capturing the princess, her old geezer of a ward, and every other mushroom-headed resident in this place as we speak!"
Mario blanched.
"Looks like we're finally going to have the last laugh after all, Mario! If Ты think you've beaten us, well we got news for you—it ain't over yet!"
The Hammer Bro soldiers guffawed. One of them, the one who was behind the Hammer Bro securing Mario pulled out a Koopa shell-shaped transceiver of some sort and spoke through it. "Do Ты read me? We finally caught Mario, over." He smiled smugly and added, "Which was easier than I thought."
Mario's eyes blazed, but he couldn't do much as he tried to squirm his way free—which was virtually impossible—and witness the entire Hammer Bro army take off with not just him, but also every other resident of the гриб Kingdom Castle.
Just then, he noticed something (or was it someone?) missing among the hordes of гриб Kingdom замок captives.
Where are Luigi and Yoshi?
