Broncheral
MarWiiU entered the game, landing on a pretty path of flowers. Picking one, he admired the smell, before crushing it within his hand. He saw some Goombas, so he jumped on them, just the way he liked. He knew someone was watching him, for him it was easy to tell with his senses. But his naiveness would cost him dearly.
He walked around until he reached a cave. It was absolutely dark, but thanks to his flaming eyes, he could navigate with ease in the dark, going through fallpits and bloodsucking bats.
“What could be important here to be hidden from the human eye?” MarWiiU thought to himself, as he ventured deeper into the cave.
After some hours, he spotted a chest, which he opened, revealing a strange gem. He reached his hand to grab it, when the chest closed itself.
“Heh, about time you showed up.” he cackled, as he was grabbed by a mysterious person, which took flight, breaking through the cave’s roof. The person then threw him into the floor, breaking a few of his bones. “You could be more gentle, you know?” he said, regenerating his limbs. “What are you doing here?” the mysterious one asked with an angry tone.
“Seems that you didn’t change, 2024M.” MarWiiU said, facing the other plumber. This one had empty eyes, with claws on his hands, and all his clothes ragged.
“You really think you can waltz here and do as you please? Who do you think you are?” 2024M shouted at him. “Oh come on man, can’t a simple cyber demon have a little fun around here?” WiiU replied. “You know what? I’m fed up on you. I’m going to kill you right here, after all, your powers are limited…” 2024M summoned a fire sword, but MarWiiU shook his head.
“Oh my dear M, violent as always. You see, I’ve been thinking of a different approach…” he said, pulling a microphone from his mouth. “How about this; you beat me in a sing off, and I’ll leave, never to be seen again.”
“And If you win?” 2024M asked. “I guess you’ll have to deal with me.” MarWiiU said.
“Ugh, whatever, let’s just get this over with.” 2024M said, pulling a microphone as well.
The sing off started. 2024M didn’t care about singing properly, he just wanted him gone, so he was making it hard for him. WiiU simply mocked him, as they continued singing.
After 4 minutes, they finished the song. “Alright, console, what did you really came for? Other than to be a nuisance…” asked 2024M. “You see, as much as I hate to admit it, I've been looking for your help, to deal with a certain “puppeteer…”” he answered. “Well then, I guess I could get out of here for a while… But don't expect me to come to your aid if things don't go the way you planned…”
Lunacity
The duo arrived at the roadway. There were abandoned cars, with puddles of blood through them. “Are you sure he'll oblige to help?” asked 2024M. “Don't worry, I think if we explain it to him properly, he won't rip our heads off.” WiiU said. “Why should you worry about it, aren't you inmor-”
“Quiet M, I think I see something in the distance!” MarWiiU said, grabbing his lips.
They both saw Luigi, with his back turned.
They walked into him, but 2024M could tell easily this wasn't Luigi. When they got close to him, he started laughing, as his body quickly grew, now being a lanky creature.
2024M and WiiU pulled their mics, challenging him to a 2v1, and the battle started.
“Listen, we aren't your enemy, we have come for your help!” MarWiiU said. “Yeah, so it would be better to drop the scary act!” 2024M said.
“Hehehe… You can’t fool me, dear BROTHER…” Mr. L said, ignoring everything that they said.
They took turns to sing against the lanky plumber, but 2024M was more aggressive, thinking all of this was ridiculous and that they could take on “him” on their own. MarWiiU took notice of this and messed up with him.
“We should just leave, this is a waste of time!” he said. “Oh shut it grumpy, we already had our fight, we can have a rematch later!” MarWiiU said, as they continued singing against L.
When the song ended, 2024M and MarWiiU got in a more serious tone. “I think we had enough. Listen, pal, I know you are still angry about your brother dropping you in the lava, but we can give you a chance to relieve your anger.” 2024M said. “Someone like him who’s obsessed with strings”. MarWiiU explained. “It’s clear that you wouldn’t miss a choice like this. So you either come with us, or you leave, never to be seen again…”
“Heh… I’ll just bite this time.” Mr. L said.
Deforestation.
At a cliff, the trio spotted a forest, where the end couldn’t be seen. “Hey, so… Are we really going deep into this forest? It’s not like I’m scared of anything, it’s just that I don’t want to end up lost and-” “If you don’t want to go, that’s fine, you can keep him company.” MarWiiU said.
“Hey, why can’t I go with you guys? Is it because he looks like h i m?” Luigi groaned. “Hmm, let me think… Hey M, come here quick!” he and WiiU got a bit apart from him.
“Listen, we can’t bring him with him because he would go bonkers the moment he sees him, so since you are a chicken I’ll do the job and bring him with me, that way it will be easy for him to be friends.” WiiU said. “Ok, first of all, we are not friends, I’m just doing this to save my skin, and second, wouldn’t it be more logical that both of you go? It worked with us, so it would work with him.” 2024M argued. “Yeah, you do have a point, but trust me, this guy isn’t something unlike us. If we go by our plan, everything will be fine…”
“Alright, whatever you say… Sorry pal, but you will have to wait with… Me…” Luigi had left while they were talking.
“Welp, there goes our plan.” said WiiU, in a goofy tone. “Aren’t you going after him?” 2024M asked. “Yea, but I’ll do it slowly…”
Luigi walked around the forest, which didn’t seem to have an end, when he came across…
Him.
“You must be the one that they talked about. Let’s get this straight, you are coming with us to take down some red guy, and I won’t accept a no for an answer.” Luigi said.
He didn’t say anything. He stood there, without moving a finger. “So it’ll be the hard way then.” the man in green said, beginning the song.
The caped plumber began singing, in a very low tone, which pissed Luigi. “You know, you can drop the act, I can easily tell who you are.” This provoked him, which in response, grew slightly taller, having now darker tones in his clothes, the trees and sky going grim.
The plumber increased the beat, as Luigi let a single sweatdrop. He felt that it still wasn’t time to pull up his triumph card, and had to fend off against this guy in his current form.
It wasn’t one minute yet and PS135 had already grown considerably, now having a red eye on his mouth. “Just wait a bit.” Luigi was getting mad already, but he had to get a hold of himself. PS135 just kept singing, when everything around Luigi went dark.
Luigi looked in shock as he saw the reflection of himself, completely rotten. “So you want to play this way, huh? Fine by me!” he said, revealing his true form.
As the song progressed, PS135 released more of his victims, while Mr. L used The Forgiven to fend off. The song was so intense it set the entire forest on fire, and Mr. L got tired of all this, dropping the song and throwing hands at him. Luckily, 2024M and MarWiiU arrived on time, stopping both of them before it could get more frisky.
“God dammit, why couldn’t you just stay still, you idiot!?” said 2024M, very angrily. “Hey, listen, big guy, I know you are mad, but we need your help! We won't be able to defeat this fattie if you don’t help us, so what do you think?” MarWiiU asked, nervously.
PS135 went back to his disguise, whispering a single “Whatever.”
Pastafarian
“Ok guys, just leave this to me, I know this guy, it will be too easy.” MarWiiU said. “I hope it’s not another red plumber this time, it’s too much for me already…” Luigi complained.
WiiU walked through the autumn plains, looking for his friend, when he bumped into someone. This someone was yet another Mario, which had strange black lines in his overall buttons, with his cap covering his eyes. “Hey, long time no see, paisano! Sorry to come here unannounced, but I need your help to defeat “the big one”, think you could give us a hand?” WiiU asked.
Impasta didn’t say anything. He just stood there, motionless.
MarWiiU then had to sing with him. Even if he almost consumed the entire land with his black hole, the console managed to calm him down.
TREPIDATION
“Is that a black hole in the distance?” Luigi asked himself, confused.
“So, do you have any hobbies?” 2024M asked Mario, trying to kill some time. “I can turn my mouth into an eye.” he said. “Well, that’s very… convenient…” “Can you guys shut up, it’s already tiring seeing you both arou-”
“Hey, I’m back!” WiiU arrived with Impasta. “Just great, as if we didn’t have enough red…” Luigi complained. “Come on, can you just at least tolerate any of us? We only need to pick up a few others and then you can get back to your stupid realm.” said 2024M. “I guess I could, but don’t expect me to put much effort into it. And who are you supposed to be?”
Impasta kept silent, like always. “Why do you must have such weirdo friends?” Luigi asked sarcastically, which WiiU scratched his head goofily in response.
“Ok, so where do we have to go now?” 2024M asked. “Well, according to our list, our next person should be at-” WiiU was interrupted by a sudden shake in the ground, and a vibrant, red pipe emerged from it.
“Oh, no… He has been keeping track of us all along…” Mario said in fear. “Don’t worry, with us 5 we can give this fool the beating of his life!” WiiU said, as they entered the pipe.
They kept falling until they landed in a dark place. “Just come out from your hideout, we aren’t scared of you!” Luigi said. “Alright, if you insist…” said a new voice, and from the darkness emerged.
V. He resembled Mario, with every part of his body being red, and a grotesque grin.
“What’s with those looks? Weren’t you looking for me?” he said. “Of course, we are here to end your pathetic life!” 2024M said. “That’s right, your reign of terror ends today!” proclaimed WiiU. “It will be funny to see your body being torn apart…” Luigi said sadistically.
“Hehehe… You guys are so enthusiastic about this… However, this isn’t the right place for the final act… How about we bring in…” V said, as he hid in the darkness. Suddenly, the sound of snapping flesh and bones could be heard, as a brighting light stuck the quintet.
“THE AUDIENCE?!” Mr. Virtual revealed his true form, standing tall in front of them. They were now at a circus, and the spectators were multiple humans, with wide smiles and “V”s carved on their chests.
“Dear god, you are truly sadistic…” Mario was repulsed. “I’m glad I managed to impress all of you. Now then, shall we begin our last performance?” Mr. Virtual said, pulling a mic from his sleeve.
The final sing-off began. Everyone was taking turns against the fallen human, coordinating their voices like a team.
“This is getting tiring already, let’s make it fair!” V said, separating them with strings and bringing 2024M and Mario with him.
“Illusionist… Pyromaniac…” Mr Virtual looked at them both. “It wouldn’t be the first time dealing with your kind.” Mario said. “I’ll make sure your fate to be very painf- Huh?!” 2024M said, shocked.
“HEHEHE! SHOW YOUR WORST!” Mr. Virtual screamed.
Mario had to take out his disguise, and 2024M set his mic on fire. They both sang, frenetically, sometimes together against him.
“Dammit, go to hell!” Mr. Virtual said angrily, leaving them and going into MarWiiU and Luigi.
“I never expected you of all people to need help…” Mr. Virtual mocked WiiU. “Heh, even with my power I can’t take risks with people like yo-” “Enough talking, just DIE ALREADY!” Luigi shouted.
The green one was more aggressive towards Mr. Virtual, and WiiU let him have more turns to sing. He didn’t hold back though, his eyes were more vibrant than ever. Luigi wanted to release his true form, but WiiU made him clear that he had to use it when things went dire.
The 5 then quickly gathered together. “Now’s the chance, we must strike at once!” 2024M proclaimed.
The battle was getting more intense. The audience was booing the plumbers, while they rooted for Mr. Virtual. This didn’t stop the group, however, and kept singing all they could.
“Now that I think about it, I haven’t dealt with you, “Impostor”.” Mr. Virtual said, grabbing Impasta. “They’ll keep you company while I deal with this freak!”
Mr. Virtual took him away from them, as a horde of corrupted Koopas surrounded them.
“So you are retreating like a chicken? FINE BY ME!” Luigi said, turning into Mr. L. Mario also turned into PS135, as both used their victims to fend against the sadistic turtles.
MarWiiU summoned some clones, sharing tones of his voice with them. The Koopas weren’t impressed by this, as they increased the beat. They sang for a couple of minutes until the Koopas poofed away from existence.
Suddenly, Impasta flew into them, and he was grabbed by PS135 before he hit the ground. Mr. Virtual appeared in front of them and they continued singing. Some of them felt already tired, but they weren’t planning on throwing the towel yet.
“I may have no limits, but you are by far the most disgusting freak to ever exist!” PS135 said. “You have power that doesn’t belong to you! You are just a pathetic human that took the coward’s way out!” 2024M shouted.
MarWiiU turned into his “Super WiiU” form, as Impasta revealed his true form: NN. The audience was now fighting each other, tearing their bodies apart. However, NN couldn’t summon the black hole, not that it was convenient for them.
Mr. Virtual kept singing against them, getting angry by every second. He planned to kill the 5 and turn them into his puppets the moment the song ended. However, he felt how his body was getting weak; he was losing his ability to sing. He was now just denying defeat, as the quintet kept singing to mock him.
“No, no, NO! THIS IS MY SHOW! MY GRAND PERFORMANCE! YOU ARE JUST PATHETIC PIECES OF CODE! IT CAN’T END LIKE THIS! NOT UNTIL I HAVE MY REVENGE! I WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE THE LIFE OF THAT STUPID DETECTIVE AND HIS LOVED ONES! I AM THE RULER OF THIS WORLD!” Mr. Virtual cursed them.
“Does a ruler matter without a kingdom to rule?” 2024M said. “A pathetic puppeteer that loses control of his strings.” MarWiiU said. “The virus that torments the weak ones.” Mr. L said. “And even if you aren’t no ruler…” PS135 said.
“We have gone through the path…” 2024M said.
“OF TREPIDATION!” They all said in unison, as they blasted a powerful attack at Mr. Virtual, combined with their powers.
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-” Mr. Virtual was pulverized by the attack, leaving no single trace of him.
Bye-Bye (Epilogue)
The group exited the realm, as they saw every single being there disappear from their eyes. Mr. L smiled, satisfied with what they had done.
“Although it was short, this adventure has made me appreciate your efforts.” 2024M said to MarWiiU. “Don’t get so soft now. Taking down this fool just made me have less to worry about, nothing else. However, it’s still on my mind. There’s someone out there who planned all of this…”
“Who? That’s something I wish to know.”
(The sounds of machinery are heard. An unknown individual operates it.)
-Jr.: Rosali-
-S: Please… I don’t like that name…
-Jr.: [Sigh]… Sergant… You finished your “simulation?”
-S: Seems like it. I, however, didn’t expect that part to happen. Honestly, I am not satisfied yet.
-Jr.: Excuse me? What else could you want?
-S: Those two. Blue and flame. The way they interact is too impressive to stop with the research. I’ve been observing these characters, these “horrorbrews”, in their own “games”. But seeing the way they interact when they are together? We must find other universes. Every possibility must occur…
-S: We are going to be very busy, Junior.
-Jr: Never call me that…
-S: You don’t even have- Are you mocking me?
-Jr: Probably…
