Luigi Saves the Day!

Author's Note: Most of the characters in this story are Nintendo's. The only character I own is Cirith.

WHACK! Mario's foot smacked into the side of Bowser's face, sending Bowser flying into the side of the Mushroom Castle wall. They were right in the front yard of the Mushroom Castle, duking it out (for the trillionth time). Princess Toadstool watched from the sidelines while cheering Mario on. Mario charged at Bowser, hoping to knock him out. This time Bowser was ready. He breathed a huge stream of fire at Mario, knocking him over. Bowser approached his prey, and just before shooting a tremendous fireball at Mario, something hit Bowser on the head so fast, it not only knocked him out, but it bounced away again at light speed...

Two hours later...
"I DIDN'T DO IT! CAN I BREATH FIRE????" Luigi yelled as everyone started accusing him for the third-degree burn Mario had on his arm. Bowser had been brought back to the Koopa Kingdom by Mushroom officials. "Don't believe him Your Highness!" Yelled the Mushroom Prime Minister. "He's just trying to trick you so he can do it again!" "Ah, screw this! Koopa treats his minions better than this!" Luigi finished as he stormed away from the Mushroom Kingdom.

Later...
"Hey everyone! Let's have another tennis tournament!" the Princess suddenly suggested. The people carried on as normal about five minutes after Luigi left. "Yeah!" "Awesome!" "Sweet!" Yelled everyone who was in hearing range. "I'll arrange it right away!" Princess Toadstool finished.

Meanwhile...
A figure stood in a large pit made of fire. Using his magic, he was spying on everything that happened in the Mushroom Kingdom for the past three days, waiting for his opportunity, and now it had arrived. The figure walked out of the fire. He looked like a humanoid robot, with some extra features. His head was an indigo-colored skull inside a vial filled with a light green liquid. His right arm was robotic with a black glove over the hand. The left arm was all bone. His shoes were a cross between large boots and dancing shoes. The rest was either machinery or tattered leather. He was (I guess) a cross between a robot and a ghost (no, not one of those old corny ghosts that are all white and fly around).

Meanwhile (again)...
Luigi sat down with a root beer and turned on the TV. "Me and my psychic buddies are waiting for your call!" He saw a woman say. "Keep waiting..." Luigi replied as he changed the channel.

2 days later...
"Welcome citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom to the 2^nd Annual Tennis Tournament!" said the announcer over the intercom, as the fans in the stands cheered. "First up is... Mario versus Wario!" The fans cheered more while chanting "MARIO! MARIO!" Mario took his racquet and the ball, and went out onto the court watching Wario, who was waiting there. Mario smiled at Wario before he served the ball as hard as he could.FLASH! BANG!

Mario disappeared in a flash of fire and smoke. The next thing Mario saw was that he was hanging above a pit of lava. He had been magically transported to a volcano.

The crowd started murmuring about what just happened. Wario just stood there, blinking. One Toad stood up as though about to explain what just happened. However, he too was consumed by the fire and smoke. In his place, stood the skeleton-ghost guy. He cleared his throat, and everyone started running around, screaming their heads off. The man snapped his fingers, and everyone stopped cold in their tracks. "As I was saying, my name is Cirith, and I will be your host for the remainder of the evening."

"I guess I better go back now." Luigi said as he put down his GameCube controller. Luigi jumped down the pipe to the Mushroom Kingdom. What Luigi saw when he arrived was shocking. The Mushroom Castle was on fire, and aside from that, it looked like it had better days. It was just about to collapse, but Luigi didn't know why it hadn't already. As he got closer he saw a figure shooting flames out of his hands, and transforming people into stars and blocks. Luigi ran to the scene as fast as he could, and punched the evil warlock right in the gut. Cirith wasn't even phased by the attack, and simply knocked Luigi away, and right into one of the stars that used to be a Mushroom citizen. Luigi's overalls started flashing, and Luigi got slightly bigger. Now that I'm super, I'll be able to beat him easily. I hope. Luigi thought.

He walked up to Cirith, and tapped his shoulder to get Cirith's attention. Cirith turned around, and Luigi smashed his fist straight through Cirith's gut and out the other side. Sparks flew everywhere, and the fire suddenly got smaller. Luigi's attack apparently damaged the magical fire too. Cirith staggered away from Luigi, hunched over in pain. Cirith teleported away knowing that he would fall at Luigi's hand in this condition.

Later...
"HA! LOOK WHO'S LAUGHING NOW!" Luigi yelled at the top of his lungs to Mario, who hadn't gotten any of the glory for beating Cirith or couldn't gloat that he even helped (what, being almost cooked to death!).
