TartoonHand94 (I wanted to make a scenario where it was Luigi that saved the princess and then we go from there! I wanted to ask first but I never saw you so I hope this is alright!)


"Oh Bowser, when will you learn? You can't just keep kidnapping me in order to marry me! You marry someone you love," she exclaimed her heart full as she thought of the ceremony of holy matrimony. Her cheeks reddened as she began babbling on about the sayings and the blessings that came along with it. Bowser had initially stopped listening after she began going into detail on the types of wedding dresses there were. Maybe the princess had always wanted to be married or something? It gave Bowser something to think about but that thought shut itself down. In his mind, if she really wanted to get married then she would've married him. He was the great, powerful, pleasurable King Bowser! He gave a hearty laugh that completely stopped Peach's words. Was he laughing at her fondness of marriage?! The blonde haired princess crossed her arms, puffed out her cheeks and turned her upper body away from the King of the Koopas.

The fire breathing dragon turtle hadn't the slightest clue as to why when he turned around to look at her. Sometimes he really didn't get women... Peach sighed in a matter of displeasure. Mario had never taken this long to save her. Did he not know she was gone? The princess was certain at least the Toads of her kingdom would have gotten the message out by now. If anything it was to avoid confrontation with Bowser themselves.  Part of her felt like she was placed on the back burner. It wasn't a good feeling at all. It felt very...off. Time flowed differently out in space so she was fine with waiting a while on Mario during the time Bowser wanted to take over the galaxy. Now it just felt like he had enough and would no longer come for her. That in itself was a very heart wrenching thought. It made her stomach turn in knots.

Her saddened expression was hidden behind her gloved hands. She did not wish for Bowser to see her cry so helplessly and so she stayed in that position, refusing to talk to the Koopa King any further.

(harumi Okay for the record, I don’t have a Switch nor Super Mario Odyssey yet, and because I plan to get one and the game one day, I’ve avoided end spoilers. So sadly I can’t play this as if it were Odyssey. However I can play it as if it were any of the original Super Mario Bros 1-3 or World, or New, or New Wii, or New Wii U or 3D Land, since I have played them, and Luigi is playable in them. I guess the only twist here is the marriage part.)

“Phew. Made it!” Luigi sighed, panting as he staggered up to the chamber doors. “Mama Mia… How does-a Bowser stand-a to live in a place like-a this?” He contemplated as he caught his breath. After all the balls of fire he dodged, the Thwomps he slipped under, the lava puts he jumped, not to mention all the enemies he had to stomp on or avoid in this dark and daunting maze of brick, you’d think he’d be too tired to think. Luigi was a Mario brother and they don’t tire easy. Maybe he was just hot. It wasn’t like all that fire and lava made the place cold. Then again, even as he fanned himself with his cap, he looked cold by the way he was shivering.

The sound of Bowser laughing on the other side of the door sent a shiver up his spine.
“Oh no. This is-a it! B-Bowser, King of the Koopas is most surely on-a the other side of-a this door...” Luigi chattered his teeth t himself. “And you know what that-a means, don’t-a you Luigi? …I’m-a at the wrong door! Time to go home and-a look up directions online and-a try again next-No! Luigi! What’s-a matter for you?” Luigi shook the cowardice off his face.
“If Bower’s in-a there, that means Princess Peach must-a be in there too!” He stalwartly reminded himself. “…Or another Toad.” He shrugged from experience. “But even a Toad needs-a my help! ...Who am I kidding? I need-a help!” Luigi sulked, sliding down the wall into a sitting position. “Aw if only Mario were-a here! He’d know what to do.” He moaned, cupping his moustache in his hands. “But Mario’s not-a here, now is he? It’s-a only me, Luigi, this-a time.” He sighed to himself, curling his quivering hands into bold shaking fists of determination. “I made it all the way through Bowser’s castle all by myself! It’s Luigi Time! And if Mario were here right now, he’d say ‘Okay Luigi, It’s-a Time To Get In There, Show-a Bowser What-For And Save The Princess!’” Luigi did an impression of his brother by deepening his voice. “…And Mario’s absolutely right! He may not-a be here, but I'ma am! I’m-a the best the princess' got, and She Needs-a Me!” He battle cried, standing right back up and backing away from the door. Not to run away like any sensible creature with survival instinct, but to take a running start to break the door open.

“I’m-a Coming Princess!!!” Luigi roared as he… galloped, awkwardly waggling his fists in front of him.
For all his newfound courage and valour, the door didn’t open. He smacked his nose flat into the door…which Then opened on activation.

“P-Princess?” Luigi asked, groggily, stretching his nose back into shape. “H-have-a no fear! L-Luigi’s-a here!”
It was Luigi who needed the have no fear advice most of all when his eyes finally regained focus and he caught a glimpse of Bowser’s lair.
_{“...What-ami Doing here?”}

[Deleted]

TartoonHand94 (No problem! I was just thinking of how to conversate between Bowser and Peach and I thought that him stealing her for marriage would be a good reason. No odyssey references intended.)

Bowser let out a hearty laugh when the familiar pitter patter of shoes hit the stone floors. "MARIO! IT'S ABOUT TIME YOU-." he stopped mid-sentence with his mouth wide open, eyes locked onto the taller stached brother. "Huh?" His voice had carried a gruff tone along with it. The furrowing of his fire red eyebrows showed his displeasure. "What are you doing hear bean pole?! Isn't Mario supposed to be the Mushroom Kingdom's savior? Or is this some sort of practical joke?"

The princess looked up from her hands at hearing the King roar. Her dim blue eyes couldn't see Luigi past the giant Koopa but she knew he was there. "Luigi," she called in an inquisitive tone of voice. 

"This won't take long. Bwahahahahaha!" The big Koopa laughed in triumph. "I mean look at him! Do you really think THAT can save you?! BWARHAHAHRHHR!" He guffawed as he moved a bit to the side so the Princess could seen the plumber in green. Her eyebrows upturned as she gave a worried look. Her plump pink lips seemed to form a pout but she slammed her hand hard on the metal bar.

"Don't talk bad about him! Luigi can beat you!" She exclaimed with a tinge of irritation and anger in her light voice. Sure Peach wasn't accustomed to being saved by the "bean pole" but she had as much faith in him as she did Mario. Not only that but he had to have ventured into dangerous lands to come and save her. The fact he was standing before them now was living proof that he had even made it through Bowser's castle. She pressed her body against the bars and let her arm slip through, seeming to be reaching for the stached plumber. "I believe in you- Luigi!" 

Bowser snickered and cracked his giant knuckles, flames leaving his nostrils like the muzzle of a flamethrower. "Alright wimp! Prepare yourself for a world of hurting!" Bowser opened his maw and began releasing large fire balls all aimed at the green stached bro.
 

[TartoonHand94]

A twitch of disappointment wriggled in Luigi’s eyelid at Bowser’s assumption that he’d be facing Mario. Not that he was wrong, after all, Mario was Luigi’s last name too. It’s just so hard to tell who people were talking about when they talk about Mario all the time. That twitch of disappointment quickly gave way for a quiver of fear at the gruff furrow of Bowser’s eyebrows.
“I-I-I-I-” Luigi stammered, struggling to get a single second word out over the quaking of his knees. As it turned out, he wasn’t alone with Bowser: Princess Peach was there too! Hearing the princess’s soft voice say his name awoke something in Luigi. It calmed his knees enough for him to finally get a word out.
“I’m-a here… To Save the Princess!” Luigi stated sternly, taking a bold step forward.

Welp, one step forward was all he could take before Bowser’s demeaning gloats froze him back into place. What Was he doing here? Fighting Bowser was always Mario’s thing to do! Look at him! He’s a gigantic spiky fire-breathing King Koopa, and he was just… he was just…
“…Because I’m-a Mario too!” Luigi shouted defiantly, finding the strength to take another step forward.

He could feel his legs almost fail him at this point, as the whole floor shook when Bowser took a step to the side. Now Luigi could see the princess locked in a cage like an imprisoned song bird. Seeing her like this instead of just hearing her awoke something else in Luigi. How Dare Bowser put her into something like that? That was no way to treat a lady. And Luigi was going to do something about it! …He had no idea what, but he was sure he was going to do something! Why? …Because she believed in him! …Wait she believed in him? Well that makes one of them, but if she can believe in him, maybe he can believe in himself too!

“Uh…Y-yeah! What-a she said!” Luigi nodded, taking a combat stance. And then Bowser cracked his knuckles, snorted smoke and breathed fire at him. Luigi bent his knees and hunkered down. The princess was crazy to believe in him. …Guess that Luigi was just going to have to be crazy enough to be believable!

Waiting till the hottest minute, Luigi uncoiled and jumped over the fire balls, higher than even Mario normally could! High enough that he had space to waggle his legs and grab onto a chain hanging overhead.
Well Luigi was up here, and Bowser was down there. That’s a safe place to be, right? Long as Bowser doesn’t aim up.

Looking at the chain he grabbed onto, he realized that it was connected to the chain Peach’s chain was dangling from. If he could make his way over to her this way maybe he could free her!
Taking advantage of how his elbows weren’t shivering like his knees, Luigi began to monkey bar his way across the chain toward Peach’s cage.

[Deleted]

The princess watched as Bowser shot fireballs the size of boulders at the plumber. She clung to the metal cage in worry even as he jumped up and clung onto the chains that were connected to her cage. The slight disturbance sent a slight tremor down the chain and to the cage. The slight shake wasn't enough to unbalance her. However Bowser's head cocked up at seeing the taller of the Mario Bros.  jump. He shot a massive fireball upwards a roaring growl leaving his opened mouth. The princess blinked in surprise. Even if that didn't hit Luigi it would burn straight through the chains. Fortunately there were other chains supporting her however it would still tip the cage sideways. She held onto the bars as tight as she could.

"Be careful Luigi!" She called out hoping he could move out of the way in time.

"STOP MOVING PLUMBER!" Bowser roared in a furious bellow that shook the very chains Luigi climbed on. Peach didn't have time to cover her ears due to clinging onto the bars of her cage so tight. Her eyebrows furrowed as her lips pulled into a frown. It left a painful ringing in her ears. It was enough to bring tears to her eyes. 

[TartoonHand94]

When you’re balancing or dangling from a high place, the trick is not to look down. But this was no time for tricks. Luigi had to look down to see Bowser’s fire ball coming right at him. Swinging with his arms as fast as he would’ve ran with his legs, Luigi hooked out of the way of Bowser’s fire ball, gritting his teeth in fear all the way. But out of the frying pan, into getting it with the frying pan.
“Eeeyaaaah!” Luigi hollored as he felt the chain breaking behind him. Bowser’s fire did indeed burn through it, and now he was swinging like a moustachioed Tarzan. What were these chains made of?

Wanting to avoid direct confrontation with Bowser as long as he could, Luigi swung past Peach’s cage, up to grab onto another one of the many chains keeping it suspended from the ceiling.
Care to go again a second time or three?

[Deleted]

The disturbance of balance from the breakage of chains tilted the princesses cage side ways,making her squeal as her arms were forcefully jerked to hold her body a she tried to hold onto the bars on her side. Bowser roared in aggravation wanting the one in green to get burned to a crisp already. he sent several more fire balls both in front of the stached brother and behind, none of them hitting the one in green however with that many chains burned away there was nothing to keep the cage of the princess suspended any longer. The one lone chain left swung the cage to the nearest wall. Without enough time to react Peach's hands that held the bars were pressed against the wall and the bars of the outside of the cage. The chain fell and so did the cage it held. Peach had let go and fell hard on her back. Her mouth opened but no sound came out.

Bowser didn't seem to notice as his focus was on the plumber. "STOP RUNNING AWAY SHRIMP!" He barked out as he jumped in an attempt to slash at Luigi. Bowser ended up just a few centimeters short but he made up for that with his next jump by shooting another boulder sized fire ball as he fell back to the ground on his feet. Peach on the other hand couldn't feel...anything. Any attempt to get up was met with absolutely no movement. Everything was spinning and she couldn't see very well. Had she hit her head too hard? Tears slipped down her cheeks but she did manage to murmur, "Luigi...." 

[TartoonHand94]

“Waaaah!” Luigi wailed as he swung from corner to corner of the Koopa king’s ceiling. A far cry from Tarzan’s triumphant call. This swinging session might have been fun if the fireworks hadn’t made it so frightful. Luigi’s improvised plan was working so far. All the chains had burned away except one. Now to carefully-wait oh no! Peach’s cage was swinging freely and crashed into the wall.

“Oho No! Princess!” Luigi cried in distress for her plight, losing focus of his own swing. Eyes fixed on the fallen cage, Luigi decided to jump down from the chain to aid her… Not realizing he was positioning his foot and letting go to land right on Bowser’s snout.
“Whoopsie me!” Only having the last second to react, Luigi did a backflip, bounding off of Bowser’s nose and sprinted over to Peach’s cage to help her.
“Princess! Are you alright?” Luigi asked hastily, knowing Bowser’ll be stepping on him any second. “Hold-a on! I’m-a gonna get you out-a there!” He reached through the bars and tried to trick the lock open with his plumbing skills.

[Deleted]

Bowser had prepared to send another fireball at the plumber with extra destructive power but as his maw opened he found it shutting from the sudden weight on his snout. He ended up choking on the flames in his throat and falling on his stomach after Luigi had backflipped off of him to go aid the princess. Black smoke hissed between Bowser's sharp teeth as he coughed and hacked on the seemingly dissolving distructoball of fire in his throat.  Despite what one might think Bowser's mouth and throat were actually wet but the choking of his own ability had dried everything out. "GAH! KAMEK WHERE ARE YOU?!" He roared in between coughing and choking sounds.

The princess on the other hand while being able to hear Luigi her eyes could not focus on him. Her voice refused to work and her body would not react to her brains demands. Luigi's efforts were well worth it however! The bent cage had come open and he would now be allowed inside to take the Princess out. With Bowser distracted with his case of dry throat he hadn't noticed, not to mention the black smoke had gotten in his eyes, making them tear up at the burning sensation. 

If there was one thing D. Peach was certain of- it was that this day was the worst. This kidnapping had ended up with her being hurt badly and she couldn't even speak. She knew for a fact she did not miss being kidnapped but she was most unfortunate that instead of kidnapping the other Peach she was taken instead. Someone up above was playing mean games with her. As her eyes finally focused in on Luigi she forced a smile that immediately turned into a deep grimace from the pain she felt spreading through her body like wild fire. It was as if it was traveling along side her veins. If someone above was playing mean games with her she'd have to thank them for the sight before her. That worried face Luigi wore was endearing and her own heart fluttered at his bravery. He'd come this far and was about to save her. Her belief in him held strong and true and she had planned to not let anything stop him now. Even if it hurt to move they had to get out of here.

With a soft grunt the princess began lifting herself, gritting her teeth and all as she did so. Once she had successfully sat up she attempted to stand which only brought her to a half kneel. Going further than that proved to be more painful than she had anticipated. "L-Luigi," she half exclaimed in both happiness and pain. 

[TartoonHand94]

“Yes!” Luigi yelped as D. Peach’s cage swung open. Wasting no time he hopped inside to tend to her.
“Princess Peach, are you okay?” He asked, kneeling beside her. She lay still and unresponsive. Eyes opened but toward the ceiling and not to him.
“…Yoo-hoo?” He tried to get her attention by waving a glove in her face. At last it worked, and Peach’s eyes would almost find a smile of relief growing under Luigi’s moustache. Princess Peach was alright. Able to sit up and even nearly stand. It didn’t grow very far, however. He saw how much she was struggling to smile and his face shot right back to worry.
“Oh no…” he gulped in dread. She wasn’t okay. He had to get her out of there! Fast!
“W-wait P-princess, shh.” Luigi tried to shush D. Peach as she struggled at half kneel.
“A-Allow me.” He generously but flusteredly offered. No way was he going to allow her to hurt herself further by trying to move. Scooping her up as gentlemanly as he could (She may be a damsel in distress but she was still the princess of his kingdom. He had to handle her like the royality she is.) Luigi picked her up bridal style. Once she was safe and secure in his arms, she could feel his efforts to surpress his primal reflexes of panic. But she could also feel, in the way he held her, she was in good hands. He was not about to let anything happen to her.
“Let’s-a go.” Turning around and jumping out of the cage, Luigi wondered if leaving the safety of the cage so soon was a good idea…

[Deleted]

Kamek came from the lower floor on his magic broom. "Right here sir! Do not worry! They will not leave this castle alive! Hoogley boogley baboozle!" With a swish of his magic wand he sent a wave of magic at Bowser covering him in his signature magic power. Kamek looked for any changes in Bowser's being before suddenly he was slapped off of his broom stick by Bowser's growth. With a now much larger bowser his roar shook the room, slamming the cage in which Luigi stood on into the wall. "BWOOOOOAAAR!! THE PRINCESS IS MINE!!!"

The princess had little time to thank her savior when the transformation took place. "Luigi! We must go quick!" She didn't have her parasol so she would be little help but she did still have a little bit of magic at the ready. With her weakened state it was truly only a little bit but she would use it to help them get out of here. Bowser opened his maw, an orange light filling his throat until a mega fireball the size of Bowser before his transformation! The princess slowly lifted her hand, a pink glow forming within her palm, she balled her hand close to her chest then weakly flung it out towards the giant fireball. The closer it got the hotter it got for the two. With her heart magic making direct contact the giant fireball moved back only to explode like a bomb a few seconds later, the force of the explosion enough to push the two back further. Bowser however would not let them by. They needed to get behind him once more to make it anywhere. There was a secret passage way just beyond the walls that they could only access by Bowser's destructive fireballs. 

"It'll be really hot when he starts shooting more but if you position yourself just right you'll be able to make him carve a path for us to get to safety!" the princess explained, biting her lip from the movement she had done earlier. Thanking and such would have to come later. They were in danger!

[TartoonHand94]

Good thing they got out of the cage in time, but as far as Luigi could tell, they were doomed either way. Luigi didn’t to open his eyes and see what sounded like a 50-foot King Koopa that wanted his head.
“No Need To Tell-a Me Twice!” Luigi clucked in panic as he scampered away as fast as his legs could go with the princess in his arms. There was a time for everything. A time to sit down and talk, a time to stand up a fight, this was a time to high tail it and flee. However, fleeing away from him only lead to a dead end. “Now what-a do I do?” Luigi groaned, not meaning to do so loud enough for Peach to here. She gave him an answer of what she’d do however, and launched a ball of pink magic that exploded upon collision with Bowser’s fireball.
“Nice-a shot!” Luigi praised her before leaning his ear to listen to what he had to say.
“S-So he has to k-Keep firing at-a us?” He asked, desperately hoping she had another idea.
There wasn’t enough time for another idea as it was time for another fire ball. Putting his faith in the princess above his own instincts, he stood his ground in front of the most likely place for a secret tunnel to be and baited Bowser’s breath.
At the last second, he barrelled away, curling around the cradled princess as Bowser’s fire broke open a path behind them.
“Green! 34! Hut! Hut! Hut!” Luigi howled, stampeding through the hole like an American football player. Was that a sport they had ever played together? He hoped they’d live long enough for a chance.

[Deleted]

"He won't be able to follow us completely but due to the walls around this pipe he will attempt to stop us in any way possible!" She explained, her instructions and warnings already coming true as the sound of grinding could be hard rather suddenly form behind them. Just a foot behind them the pipe had been crushed. He was trying to gauge where they were and trap them! "We must move quickly! do not worry I think I can move on my own." She tried, pressing her cheek to his own as she lightly shifted around so he would release her. She was certainly still in pain for sure  but in order to move fast enough to evade Bowser they'd need to be separated. As the pipes began to narrow she got down to crawl in front of Luigi so she could lead the way. 

Bowser burnt open a few inches beyond the pipe he had crushed. He yanked at the middle and looked into the pipe. They weren't there. "BWAAARRRR DON'T THINK YOU'VE GOTTEN AWAY!" He bellowed, his voice traveling throughout the pipe ringing in Peach's ears. "Oh!" Peach whined as she covered her ears, eyes falling shut from the loudness of his voice bouncing around the pipes. As soon as most of the echo was gone she began crawling faster. He was going to do everything in his power to stop them. Everything. She continued crawling and suddenly stopped when it got strangely hot around them.  She turned around and tackled Luigi to the ground, hands on either side of his head as she looked over her shoulder from the place she just was. It only took a second for the pipe to be twisted open. 

Bowser had picked up the portion of the pipe and looked through. They were nowhere to be found. As he may have thought they were further along they were actually just beyond what he had pulled up. "Shh we must jump through without him seeing." she whispered, removing herself from above him to pull him back into crawling formation. They would have to jump across like dogs in order to get through. "I must admit that I'm a bit frightened. there is not much supporting pipes in Bowser's castle...he complains about it often. Below the tiny support beams is a very...very long fall." she explained with a slight shake of her head. If they didn't go Bowser would crunch their only way out as a precaution just in case they had lagged behind.

[TartoonHand94]

As they slid down the secret pipe together, Luigi heaved a sigh of relief that they were finally safe from Bowser’s clutches.
“H-how will he do that?” Luigi asked her, wanting to believe the pipes were indestructible. The immediate crunching of the pipework behind him gave him his answer.

“Oh Nono Nohoho! We Have-a To Get Outta Here! We-” Luigi began to panic when a soft caress of the princess’s cheek against his stabilized him enough to relevel his head. “Okay.” He set her free to crawl ahead of him. It was better this way. While he’d rather keep carrying her, protecting her any way he could, they were both faster without her weight slowing him down. Also, had he been crawling in front of her, he might crawl too fast out of fear and left her behind. Besides, it wasn’t like the view was so bad-Focus Luigi!

For a second, Luigi thought Bowser had made it into the pipes with them thanks to the loud ringing. He twisted his head around to look behind him, luckily there was nothing behind them but damaged pipes. With his nose still behind him, he continued forward only to bump into soft peach scented frills.
“E-excuse-a me-Gah!” Luigi tried to excuse himself before the soft peach scented frills turned around and tackled him. “I’m-a Sorry-Huh?” He hastily apologized before realizing why she tackled her. “Mama Mia.” Peach saved their lives there!

Luigi silently looked up at her and nodded at her suggestion. He then took her hand and held it firmly and securely. He then took a second to look her in the eyes sincerely.
“I’m-a afraid too. But we still have-a to do.” He whispered one of his brother’s favorite things to tell him when he was scared.
“Besides, we’re two of the best-a jumpers we know. So let’s-a go.” He nodded confident in his jump and especially her floating ability.
Luigi went first, taking a high, but silent bound to the other side, to give Peach time and room to float the rest of the distance.

[Deleted]

The princess was more than happy that Luigi could ease her nerves so well. Mario's little saying coming from Luigi proved to be very effective. She nodded and found her cheeks burning pink when he took her hand. Although both their hands were gloved it was quite warm. That also could've been the fact that Bowser was nearby. As he jumped she jumped too, floating as she lightly moved her legs and landed safely on the other side. While still holding Luigi's hand she began leading the way once again. The scary jump was over for the most part and the pipe ways had widened out again. It made for moving upright the next step and Peach wasted no time. Her heels were surprisingly silent in the pipes but upon closer inspection, Luigi would find that Peach was actually using very large strides to create the proper distance equal to running as she floated. Each time she would pick up one leg she would float and come down on her other foot to avoid too much noise with her heels! The only thing they had left to get through was the zig zag ways of the pipes that led to the secret exit.

Bowser was tearing up the pipes behind them and he was beginning to get closer and closer. They had to climb up and slide down quick. "Luigi," the princess whispered with worry deep in her light voice "we have to climb as fast as we can without making too much noise...but I'm not a very good climber...." She didn't wish to waste time either so she prompted for moving behind Luigi. "I think maybe it would be safer if you go first. I would only slow you down if I'm in front," she explained feeling a bit ashamed for holding them up- even if for a few moments.
