//------------------------------// // The new Prediciment // Story: Mario and Luigi Equestrian adventures // by Storm Rival //------------------------------// part 1: Superpony saga... Chapter 1: Luigi!!! "Discord? Bowser? I don't even know those two are," Twilight said. "Unless you're talking about the Draconequus statue outside of princess Celestia's castle, I have no clue what you're talking about." Twilight began after Mario's simple action sequences. she lobbed a small book that read "Castle Stone Garden" on it. Twilight's page flipped to the statue of Discord. "Mamma mia! That's him!" Mario yelled getting up off the ground. "I don't even know how this is possible, it says he's been imprisoned far longer than Luna." Twilight said "I don't have a clue on your world though. Princess Peach or even your 'clumsy' brother Luigi, If I did I'd help you out no sweat." Thankyou anyway Twilight," Mario said. "You wouldn't happen to have a map would you? I'm sure If I had one I'd know where to find Luigi." Mario stated. Twilight used her magic to lob a massive book over to mario. Mario wasn't expecting a book of gargantuan size. the book literally squished him like his brothers hammer. "What's the Idea here?" Mario asked Twilight getting off the ground miniaturized. "You ok?" Twilight asked "I'm a fine, I just gotta find Luigi and get him to hammer me back to normal size," Mario said "And when I asked for a Map I was asking for a small scroll." "Sorry, the only thing close to a map in this library is that encyclopedia. Its got maps to every city and town in Equestria." "How exactly do you expect me to carry this around?" Mario asked. "I don't know I could use some magic." Twilight offered as Mario walked out the library door with a giant encyclopedia in tow. "No, no I got this, I've carried heavier." Mario said to twilight walking out of the library. He was doing just about fine carrying the encyclopedia when he got off the front step He saw just how out of place he was. there were nothing but ponies here. "Welcome to Ponyville." Twilight said Mario's expression was that of shock. he wasn't in the mushroom kingdom no more "Twitchy tail Twitchy tail!" a Pink pony yelled halfway down the block from Twilight's library. "Mario watch out!" Twilight warned, but it was too late as just at that moment, when Mario took another step, something small and yellow came barreling from the sky. "Heads Up!" It yelled just before making contact right on top, and dead center, of the encyclopedia and Mario. Mario grunted as once again he was smashed by the heavy book. Mario slowly got up and saw that he was back to his normal size. "Anyone hurt?" a yellow, floating, ball with a star on top asked. "Oh, right, I was told about this place..." the little thing recalled "Anypony hurt?" it once again yelled. "Nope!" came the reply of a stallion about a block out heading off the opposite direction "Who are you?" Twilight asked the small yellow ball. "Hi, I'm Starlow Nice to meet you..." Starlow paused "who are you?" Twilight stated prouder for the thing, "I'm Twilight Sparkle student of Princess Celestia." "Hello Yellow!" Starlow shouted. "who are you shouting to?" Twilight wondered as the yellow ball yelled towards the sky. "oh, don't worry about it." the ball said "Oof," Mario grunted "how come we always tend to meet at the most unexpected circumstances?" "Oh, Mario!" Starlow interjected "I was told to help you out by the starsprites." "Of course you were," Mario said. "Hold up you said Sprite somewhere didn't you? Don't tell me you're a parasprite, because we just had that problem a month ago." "Oh, Twilight, I'm not one of those monsters," Starlow said "I'm actually a friend of Mario's and we've helped one another out for a while." "You could say that," Mario said. The pony who had said 'twitchy tail' came over to see the commotion. "ooh ooh Twilight I'm so happy you weren't hit! also happy to see that your book was ok after all it was the one thing that was hit-" she said "Pinkie," Twilight said "-I mean there was a big dent in the book that's all and..." Pinkie looks at Mario and instantly "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, who're you?! I've never seen you around well except in that one game this foal plays but..." "Pinkie!"Twilight slightly yelled "Yes!" the pink pony came up to twilight closely "This is Mario and we're looking for his brother. After this is all over you can throw whatever party you want at my place to welcome them to ponyville." Mario was anxious yet happy to be around this Pinkie. It seemed like she was a ticking bob-bomb that could go off at any second. She had balloons on her flank and didn't have wings or a horn so mario could only guess that she was a regular pony "To interupt your thought Mario its Earth pony." "whah! How'd you know what I was thinking!" Mario exclaimed "oh don't worry about it." Pinkie looked off in the distance "Now then if you're wondering about a tutorial of this game, wait a few years for this to catch on and possibly get heavily liked..." "Who are you talking to?" Mario asked "Oh, Nopony." Pinkie calmly and cooly repiled. "oh," Starlow said " I guess you have the same power as me then." "Wait you can break the fourth wall too?" Pinkie asked Starlow. "Yes, yes, I can." Starlow said "finally somebody- sorry, somepony that gets what I do! I'm not so good at fanfictions though," "How bout I help you out then Starlow?" Pinkie offered "Sure! I'd actually like the help, breaking the forth wall is sometimes so tiresome." "You got it..."Pinkie said. "Are you two done?" Mario asked ready to move on. "yep sure are." Pinkie replied. "Well, Mario, this is my friend Pinkie Pie." "Hello its nice to meet you." Mario said "Its nice to meet you too Mario, although I'm not sure if you could count this as a first meeting considering..." "Pinkie..." Twilight once more said "Oh, Right." Pinkie said "Hey, Mario considering that heavy encyclopedia how about I keep it in the star menu that you can open with... oh Right this isn't a game." Starlow said. "Someone's getting tired." Pinkie said Breaking the fourth wall for the second time now. The enormous encyclopedia just then vanished from mario's shoulders. "phew..." Mario said "That's a lot of help Starlow. "No problem Mario. I was actually sent by the starsprites to investigate why Peach's castle is upside down and put whoever did it into the underwhere. "What?" Twilght was rightfully confused by having no knowledge of Mario's world. "She basically means Mario's Tartarus." Pinkie said not actually guessing exactly what starlow was talking about. "Well, I think this is our problem Mario confirmed that the culprit was this statue some way or another. I think that he should face our justice" Twilight replied. "Yes, Twilight, but the crime happened on Mushroom lands, shouldn't this statue, thing, whatever he is, pay Mushroom kingdom justice?" "I think this is up to Mayor Mare to decide." Pinkie said breaking up the dispute. "Listen we haven't even gotten to my problem yet My brother is missing!" Mario shouted. "Gee, calm down we were about to get to Luigi." Starlow said. "Hey, Twilight, Mario, maybe Luigi is with somepony else we know." Pinkie said. "You might be on to something Pinkie," Twilight said. "Mario, you might as well get to know my friends since you may be staying until I don't know, things get resolved." "Okie dokie Let's go." Twilight, Pinkie, Mario and Starlow slowly make their way to sweet apple acres. Along the way the town of Ponyville kept getting less and less dense until only one long road made the trail out to Applejack's abode. As apple trees came in sight, "Mmm, I smell apple pie." Mario said "Well, maybe if Applejack's in a good mood, you might get some." Twilight said. "Mmm, Okie Dokie." Mario hungrily replied "Yeehaw!" Who's that?" Mario asked but as he asked an orange mare came up beside him and interupted him "Howdy Twilight, What can I do you for?" she asked "Well I got someone out of town here and he seems to have gotten separated from his brother." Twilight said pointing to mario with a hoof "Well, Howdy, Name's Applejack what's yours?" Apple jack said putting out a hoof "Its Mario." Mario put out his hand for a shake "Well Nice to meet you Mario." Applejack said shaking Mario. "Woah!" Applejack shook mario's hand with so much force he began to slowly become a ball. "Sorry about that sugar cube, I've been told I have a mean shake." Apple jack said. "Mamma mia..." Mario said reverting back to his normal form. "Look I need to know where my brother is, he's taller than me and he's wearing green have you seen him?" "Now that you mention it, your brother tried hiding from Rainbow Dash earlier," Applejack said He could've pulled it off if he'd hidden in the granny smiths rather than the red delicious'. and I'm not talking about my granny." "Mamma mia he does have a knack of getting into trouble," Mario said "Do you know what he did?" "Sorry, I didn't hear much, I was busy bucking apples for applebuck season. I did hear that your brother hurt Rainbow and she's not too happy about it." "Do you know where he went once Rainbow dash found him?" "I think he went to Rarity's." Applejack said. ----- Meanwhile at Rarity's boutique: "Stop! you Ruffian! Stop Rainbow Dash! You're messing up my shop!!" Rarity screamed "He's the one who started this!" Rainbow dash yelled. "I don't care who started what I want this boutique cleaned up post haste!" "Sorry, Rarity, but I'm not stopping til I catch this thing." Rainbow dash went for a dive while Luigi dodged last second "Mamma miaaa!" Luigi yelled trying to escape the enclosed area. Rainbow dash was up and ready to go in a split second "Get back here you coward!" "When I get my hooves on the two of you I want this boutique spotless!" Rarity said running after Rainbow dash and the green thing. ----- Mario, Twilight, Starlow and Pinkie Pie continue their trek to find Mario's lost brother. The walk from Sweet apple acres back to town was something mario was used to especially traveling more than eight worlds on many different occasions just to rescue princess Peach. Mario couldn't help but wonder if things have changed both here and the mushroom world as he'd gone on his quest here. that question was halted because... "Mamma Miaaaa!" something green passed by shouting. "Get back here you coward!" a Rainbow blur roared. A white mare was behind both of them huffing and puffing "Dash..." she said in a tone that hinted on insulted. "Rarity! What's going on?" Twilight asked. The white mare took a few breaths then said"That Dash just flew into my boutique and ruined everything!" Rarity said. "Not to mention something looking like him came in wrecking the place too." Rarity said pointing a hoof at Mario. "Mamma Mia, I'm a so sorry, that was my brother just now that ran past us." "Well ,your brother owes me a clean boutique! Same goes to dash but," Rarity cut off "Look as soon as this whole mess is done me and my Brother will pick up your boutique ok?" Mario said "fine, get your brother but soon after you do, I want him to clean up what he'd made a mess of." "okie dokie." Mario replied "Geez looks like your brother is getting pretty popular here..." Starlow said. "You're telling me, he already met Applejack Rarity and I bet Dashie." Pinkie said "Who?" Mario asked "Rainbow Dash." pinkie replied "you're talking about that Rainbow blur that passed us by right?" "Indeedie that's Rainbow Dash." "Ha! I get it!" Starlow said after having a small thought about names. "Let's go already!" Mario said "oh fine," Starlow finished. ----- Luigi continued his flight from Rainbow Dash. He eventually came to a lake in which he decided to dive into to loose his pursuer. Rainbow Dash looked high and low for the green thing but couldn't find him. she didn't want to get wet so she decided to move on. "He probably hid in a tree or something I'm going to ask Fluttershy..." Rainbow remarked to herself. "Hmm..." Luigi thought to himself: i'd better wait this out... He'd been in water for hours on end not ever running out of air. Loosing the Rainbow pony like this would be very simple Luigi though. Rainbow Dash on the other side of things went directly to Fluttershy. "Oh, hello Rainbow Dash, How are you?" Fluttershy asked. "Very angry..." Dash said enraged. "I'm sorry to hear that, is there any way I could help?" "Sure, I guess you could." "What can I do for you?" "There was this thing that fell out of the sky and knocked me down from my nap in the clouds." "Well that was rude of-" Dash got closer to Fluttershy "I want to get it back but its underwater. Is there any way your animals could help?" "Why, yes they could, but..." "But what?" "They're having a play day and It'd be rude to ask them to give up today. its been put off a week already." "Ugh fine..." Rainbow dash admitted defeat there... "then again, I think I saw that he looked like a hairless monkey or something." Dash said coyly peaking Fluttershy's interest. "Monkeys are actually very rare, and wait did you say hairless, monkey?" "I did indeed." "You've been spending time with Lyra haven't you?" fluttershy got in close and asked suspiciously "I know that there is no hairless monkey unless its a human from mythology." she said defiantly "Well I swear it was a human!" "Well, we'll just have to see about that..." Fluttershy said calling her critters "I'm sorry to all of you but play time is cut a little short." the critters voiced their protest even Angel bunny who continually stomped at her hoof. "I think something very rare may be in this lake, and it may be a fluke. If it is just a 'harsh prank'" Fluttershy said somewhat quietly "go ahead and blame Rainbow dash for lost time." "Hey!" "But If there is something out of the ordinary in there, go ahead and bring it out." as Fluttershy ended, the aquatic critters there began their search. "Rainbow dash," Fluttershy said "Yeah," "Should there be a human, I don't want you to harm it. Ok Dash?" Rainbow stubbornly sighed "fine..." As Luigi waited for his pursuer to leave, a bunch of aquatic animals began to swarm him. He was hard pressed trying to stay under, but it didn't really work with all the animals working against him. Luigi yelled before hitting the ground. "Mamma mia," Luigi said looking up and finding that a yellow and pink pony was standing next to a rainbow maned pony. Luigi began to cry "I'm a so sorry I didn't mean to fall on you." he said to Rainbow Dash. "It was a fluke I mean how else do you think I'd be able to get up there without wings!" Dash was silent and didn't have a back up. "He's terribly confused about this whole situation and you trying to find him and make him pay have only made things worse Rainbow dash." Fluttershy said angrily somewhat staring at Rainbow Dash. "Ok, ok. Look, I'm sure I over reacted a little about this whole thing." Dash said to the squabbling Luigi. Mario, Twilight, Pinkie, Rarity and Starlow now saw the situation up ahead. Luigi on his knees crying. "Mamma mia this usually happens..." Mario said to Twilight. Fluttershy saw her friends and decided to tell Dash and Luigi. after a moment, they were all together finally. Mario and Luigi had a warm reunion hug. "Now that I have the chance to say this," Rarity said. "Dash, um Green thing." "It's Luigi."Luigi said. "I would really appreciate it if you could clean up my boutique. If you do I'll treat you to something." Luigi agreed he did after all cause most of what was in there to be completely trashed; Rainbow Dash decided to do the same. The day slowly went from bright afternoon to dusk while Luigi and Rainbow Dash were cleaning up Rarity's place. After the day was done, the whole group was headed home. Dash flew off to her cloud home, Pinkie skipped for her place close by Sugarcube corner. As Mario Luigi and Twilight were close to Golden Oaks library,Luigi couldn't help but notice something peculiar in the distance. He brushed that off for some much needed R&R. ----- "Eeeyah ha ha ha, I'm back you troublesome fools..." a voice barely audible in the night cackled. "And I'm back for vengeance...and my wish." The figure retracted its gaze away from Golden Oaks library and slowly made way to the shadows.
