There was no bright blue sky. Nor was there a ocean beneath him. It was hell. If it had to be described in a single word. It would be it. A dark island floating and overflowing with molten lava. And their…flying boat? Was docked at its bay. 

“...nah, i'm not good with hot places” luigi chuckled, already sweating at the sight.

They either didnt understand him or didnt care as they soon got to pulling him along the slim plank joining the two vessels.

The place was swarming with a large variety of creatures of all shapes and sizes, spiked and smooth and all gave him deadly glares upon walking by. However, none attempted to step towards the three Shy Guys that had surprisingly already set up a triangular position around him with the lead baring the chains and the others having nothing but their bare hands. Gulping, Luigi decided that perhaps it would be best if he not try to run no matter how much his legs desired it…there's obviously a reason no ones coming close.

He arrived to Bowser and he could tell it wasnt what the beast was expecitng. A lot smaller than he imagined, just beneath his chin and at the base of his neck. the way he leaned away and stared up at him peeked his curiousity. Could this be fear?.. 

Luigi, scared out of his wits simply remained silent and continuously looked the creature up and down as though searching for some sort of answers. 

"Not sure if you know who i am" Bowser spoke "but im about to rule the world" 

Stroking a claw underneath luigis chin the sight of him quiver up and shudder thrilled him, admittedly making his tail sway back and forth. 

"oh-heh..yaaay"  

He choked up, trying to smile. 

"but theres one problem, there’s a human, got a mustashe, just like you" bowser flared up just at the very mention and felt a thin strip of the quivering boys stash, making him yelp slightly and squirm in Wizenheimer's magical hold. 

"destined to stop me" His soft stare turned to a devilish glare and Luigi soon replied 

"me?! pft-heh!" as he nervously chuckled the glare only grew more fierce.  

"not you...someone like you, a red one...who is he?" Bowser barked up 

"D-heh, w-what do you think i know ever human being with a moustache, wearing an identical outfit with a hat with the letter of his first name on it- because i dont?!" His last statement came out shaking as the beast plucked the hair from his skin and took grip on him by the torse with his firm grasp. 

He screamed slightly, unsure whether to laugh or cry as there was a moment where Luigi thought he was about to die at the hold, the rage he felt building up seeming to reach a climax as the walls of his soul melted away and an uncontrollable scream burst out. 

The creature leaned in and snarled. 

“DO YOU KNOW HIM!?”

His shout echoed across the throne room as Luigi felt beads of sweat gather on his brow with the creature gazing down at him.
Bowser smirked, throwing his head back and extending his arm into the air.  
His grip squoze the boy in the ribcage, making him wince and kick his legs slightly.

"A-ah!" Luigi yelped "..."

Bowser flared his nostrils slightly "siblings perhaps?”

"no! Well-" at his shaking voice, Bowser seemed to have gotten the answer he wished for  "we work together-not in the way you think! HEH!-"

Bowser didn't seem to be taking this any more seriously  "so you're useless to me"

At this the large creature turned and set Luigi closer to the lava wall. He could feel his stomach tighten. 

"he'll come for me!" luigi yelled "a-and if he finds out you've hurt me he'll make you PAY!"

Bowser's eyes seemed to light up and Wizenheimer couldn't help but step away slightly. The snarl on the beasts face was unplaceable, it was deep and coarse, bordered by a pout like mouth. The fixation of infuriated pupils only added to this grotesque human spite and within a moment he ripped part of Luigi's mustache away.

Luigi screamed as Bowser turned and laughed "I'm betting on it! Wizenheimer! get me a cage!"

Within a moment a cage was lifted by the throne, a valiant place for bowser to throw luigi into. As he fell inside, the cage shook slightly, and his hat fell from its pleasant perch against his head and settled to the ground.

"and when he comes for you, when he comes to make me pay!" he slammed the cage door shut and snarled visiously against the bars "...ill kill the both of you"

The hatred in the kings eyes consumed the younger man's view and the image would stain itself in his mind even when the beast walked away, leaving him frozen in place, his heart slamming so hard in his chest he feared it would literally burst through his ribs.

“Luigi!” Mario yelled, making him jolt from his sleep. 

“H-huh? What?” he asked, looking around

His brother stood nearby, using the mirror to brush back his hair and adjust his shirt. 

“I aint calling you again, we gotta get going” He chuckled, turning with a smile.

"oh...oh yeah, alright..."
