Mario And Luigi: Friendship Is Magic

BEEP. BOOP. BEEP.

"What?" Bowser Junior said, reacting to the strange sound as he opened his eyes and found himself laying inside of a high technological laboratory.

Colourful buttons and flickering light bulbs were everywhere, on panels, walls, machines, you name it. The strange sounds of buzzing buttons and the occasional beeping made him slightly nervous but was still almost comical. The strangest thing though was that he was strapped to a medical table. Bowser Junior struggled faintly to break free but the bindings didn't even budge... but he was a Koopa. He'd find out who had taken him capture and then burn them down to toast!

Suddenly a door opened and a white stallion with an unfixed black mane and black tail clad in a lab coat and round maniacal goggles stepped into the room and closed the reinforced iron door behind him. He grinned widely and pulled on some rubber gloves on his hooves, his big grin never fading.

"Ah, valcome to our facility. Isn't it just wunderbar? Ja!?" The mad scientist said with a strong accent, one that Bowser Junior had never heard before in his life.

"Eh, I've seen better," Bowser Junior said as he looked around, the place looking eerily creepy even though it was just a normal laboratory, a normal laboratory with colorful devices and unfitting wallpaper.

"Interesting, ja. Ze specimen talks," The mad scientist said, putting one of his rubber covered hooves under his chin. "Do you even know vhat ve do here at this factory?" The scientist asked as he stepped closer and grabbed a notepad and a pen.

"No..." Bowser Junior said as he looked on as the scientist approached, the big grin was still wide and was just as unsettling as it had been moments ago.

"Ve make ze toys," The scientist shouted, raising his hooves and standing on his back hooves as lightning cracked down behind him, his maniacal laughter echoing through the room. Bowser Junior rolled his eyes, sighing grumpily as he had expected it to be something else than just toys.

"That's all? Then why do you have a laboratory like this?" Bowser Junior asked and nodded his head to all the weird devices and cutting instruments.

"Oh, ve have ze occasional new strange animal that ve dissect and then turn into a new stuffed toy or something along ze likes," The scientist said and pulled a lever that made the table Bowser Junior is strapped onto begin to shift higher up towards lots of devices in the ceiling.

"Uhm... what are you gonna do?" Bowser Junior said before gulping and looking up as a big colorful sawblade with some dried blood on it lowered down.

"Oh, just lay still, this vill only hurt a tiny little bit!" The mad scientist shouted with a maniacal laughter as he pressed a rainbow colored button which made the sawblade spring to life.

"Oh, nononononononooo!" Bowser Junior shouted, he knew where this was going and he wasn't going to let himself end like this!

He shook his arms frantically as the saw lowered down even more and as he did, the leather straps holding his arms stuck loosened pretty quickly. Bowser Junior managed to extend his claws a bit and then quickly cut the leather straps open as his arms got free... now it was only his legs left.

But the sawblade was too close for him to actually sit up and then remove the straps from his feet, but he had an idea. A typical Bowser family idea to be certain. Bowser Junior reached for the back of his shell and grabbed his hammer and then with a mighty swing while laying down he hit the flat surface of the side of the sawblade and sent it flying across the room before eventually crashing into the wall and getting stuck in it.

He sighed and wiped his forehead before sitting up and then cutting the straps on his feet. Finally he was free, and he was going to make sure that it stayed that way. Bowser Junior jumped down from the table that was quite high above the floor and then landed infront of the mad scientist who was still grinning.

"Ze turtle vants to play? Ja?! Nein! Ze playtime is ovah!" He shouted as he pressed a blue button as a hatch opened in the floor and a very big wind up robot started to slowly ascend up via a lift.

"Holy Bowser's treasure chamber," Bowser Junior said, his eyes bulging in fear and his legs shaking as the giant robot continued to rise from the hatch.

The robot looked mostly just like a normal toy robot, but instead of hands it had a grinder where the arms ended. The mad scientist pressed a green button which made the robot wake up with a low rumble. A weird maniacal laugh came out from a voice box inside of it and Bowser Junior began backing away, trying to keep his distance with the giant metal monstrosity.

"Zis is Robert! He vants to hug you!" The mad scientist said before breaking into a big maniacal laugh as well.

"Haurhaurhaurhar! Small turtle, exterminate!" Robert said with his broken voice box as all the systems began booting up inside of him.

"Wheh... dad!" Bowser Junior screamed as he kept backing away until he was met with the wall behind him, he sighed and then looked up at Robert the robot that was approaching with the occasional maniacal laughter going off every ten seconds.

The mad scientist pressed a red button which made Robert's right hand transform into a big hammer while his other hand stayed as a grinder. After the transformation was done though, the big robotic monster began walking towards Bowser Junior slowly with his arms outspread to make it seem like he was going to hug Bowser Junior, which the little Koopa knew was not the intention.

Bowser Junior held tightly onto his hammer which he had not laid aside yet and held it high in a defensive position as he just watched the big robot approach. His legs were still shaking and the hand which he held the hammer with shook as well, but he knew that he couldn't freak out now.

The robot stepped awfully close and bent down towards Junior and that was Junior's signal, Bowser.J rolled between the robot's legs just as the robot was about to 'hug' him. Bowser Junior sighed in relief and wasn't going to waste any time. He glared towards the mad scientist who began to look worried as his robot still hadn't realized that his intended target had gotten away.

Bowser Junior ran forward with his hammer and the mad scientist backed away and hid behind a table with alchemic potions, but Junior wasn't going to harm him. He needed to make sure that the robot was out of harms way first!

A big red button with yellow and black stripes around it with the text 'Robot Self Destruct' over it made Bowser Junior smirk wickedly as he stepped up and quickly slammed down his hammer on it. Suddenly Robert stood up and realized that there was no one in his hug, but it was far too late.

His body parts began shaking violently as his systems went into overdrive and began overheating, and before he could do anything more he simply began falling apart. His arms fell to the floor as the magnetic seal went off and all his other parts shut down as they also fell to the floor in a useless pile of junk.

The mad scientist had taken off his gloves and was biting the ends of his hoof as Bowser Junior began glaring at him, there was no more giant robots that could do his dirty work now.

"Ha! That's what you get for messing with B.Junes!" Bowser Junior said and pointed out his tongue towards the mad scientist and then opened the door before sealing it after him.

There was a lock on the other side and Bowser Junior quickly locked it, moments after hearing the scientist banging on the door. Bowser Junior didn't care, he only cared for himself and to make his father proud at all costs. He had no idea of where he was though, it was a dark linear corridor with a very creepy and industrial theme.

The laughter of a child echoed throughout the corridor and Bowser Junior tried to figure out which direction it came from, but it seemed to come from the vents and not behind any of the doors that were inside here. He looked towards a door that was in the end of the corridor and walked towards it.

A rusty iron sign above it said: "Manehattan Rainbow Toys Factory, Management Office"

Bowser Junior opened the door and inside was just a grey and empty office with a single desk with a panel on it and a monitor. There were of course power switches and other miscellaneous stuff on the walls as well, but the monitor intrigued Bowser Junior the most. Maybe he could find a way out with it?

He walked up to it and saw that it was monitoring 16 cameras, each positioned in a different room. The first camera displayed what looked to be the room where the toys were being manufactured. There were several rolling bands and big pistons and robotic arms that were making the same kind of toy over and over again. It was just a boring looking marionette doll inside a box.

He turned away from the cameras almost immediately and saw a map laying on the desk that showed all the paths inside the building which he of course grabbed as he turned around and walked out the door again. He followed the map all the way towards the lobby and on the way he crossed multiple strange rooms, some with lots of vials and glass tubes with biologically engineered creatures.

One room he entered was different from the rest, atop a podium inside a glass cube was a small little ladybug that was made of metal and had blue glowing eyes. Bowser Junior walked towards it and read a sign that stood infront of it. "This is the Bio-Tech bug, it will latch onto a host and make the host insanely powerful and impossible to defeat, though after a certain amount of time the bug will take over it's host fully. But it can be simply removed by someone else by pulling it off or smashing it." the sign said.

Bowser Junior didn't hesitate and grabbed the glass cube sitting on top of the podium but was surprised as an alarm suddenly went off as he grabbed it. He quickly tucked it away into the back of his shell as everything began flashing red and he quickly fled towards the lobby while the sirens went off in the background.

Doors began closing around him but he got to the lobby in one piece and watched as the main door was about to be sealed off by a big iron door, but he was quick to react and quickly leapt forward and crushed the normal glass door and ended up outside the factory.

Though, as he looked around he noticed that he was surrounded by many police cars...

"Hello! Anyone here!?" Twilight shouted as they entered the good ol' library.

"As infact, yes there is," Luna said with a firm voice and a smile.

Luna was standing next to Zecora and Twilight smiled at them as they entered. "Good to see you Luna, I was afraid that Chrysalis had taken you as well."

"Hm? Who are-a you?" Mario asked as he stepped in alongsides with Luigi and Spike.

"I'm Princess Luna, I'm the one who raises the moon and Celestia is the one who raises the sun, but in this case it is Chrysalis who does both things," Luna said as she sighed, smiling towards Mario and everyone else. "It's not often we get a visit of your kind," Luna then added as she looked at both Mario and Luigi.

"Yes, I can tell," Mario said and chuckled.

"But Luna, what exactly are you doing here?" Twilight said as Luna was about to bombard Mario and Luigi with questions.

"Ah, yes. Well, you see. I was here performing as Nightmare Moon over at the Nightmare Moon statue in the Everfree Forest and as I flew over Ponyville it was burning and lots of houses were destroyed, so I decided to stay and help. And while I was here I thought I should drop by and say hello to you," Luna explained before she turned her head towards Zecora. "You were unfortunately not here, but Zecora was sleeping on the floor so I decided to have a chit-chat with her instead."

"Haha, well. We've been to Canterlot and we've been here fighting off some very big snakes at Applejack's farm and right now I just want to lay back and have a rest," Twilight said and sighed.

"Then we'll let you do so, there's no need for us to get in the way of things," Luna said as she looked at Zecora and then back at Twilight.

"Oh, thank you very much, Luna. But just one question, how were you aware that Chrysalis has taken Celestia's place?" Twilight asked while the others went upstairs and attempted to find a bed.

"Because I'm not the one who raised the moon or lowered it this time," Luna said as her face grew serious before smiling. "Good night, Twilight Sparkle. Don't forget about that box you got from the tree of harmony though, it may be useful against Chrysalis."

Twilight just realised, she did have the box. But she had given up on trying to solve the mystery a while back since she drew the conclusion that six keys would be impossible to find after sitting up two weeks without sleeping and trying to solve the mystery. With a sigh she turned to face the door leading to the basement and pondered for a while if she would go down there and study all night long or get some well-needed rest.

Twilight of course went with the latter and turned around once more and gently waved at Zecora and Luna as she walked up the stairs and found Luigi laying in her bed with Mario next to him and Twilight let out a grumpy sigh as she walked over to Spike instead and laid down next to him in the basket.

Her eyelids fell faster than expected and she drifted off to sleep, but something wasn't right. Maybe it was that devious evil chuckle, or those menacing green eyes staring right into her soul...? No! Twilight realised who the voice and eyes belonged to. And just as she realised the eyes faded away and the voice echoed until eventually stopping, and suddenly she was standing in the middle of a cemetery with a giant monument of the six elements together.

It was almost completely dark but the moon up high in the sky gave enough light to make the dead trees surrounding the place look even more creepy. Twilight shuddered in the cold before inspecting the monument further.

"Here lies; Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy and soon, Twilight. May them always be remembered as those who tried to save Equestria," Twilight read aloud, her voice becoming shakier for each name. She looked back at "and soon, Twilight" and "tried to save Equestria" and felt really frightened, but this was just a dream. That she was certain of.

Suddenly five pair of hooves pressed through the ground in a ring around Twilight. Twilight herself screamed out in fright and opened her wings which just evaporated as she spread them out. She then tried to use a teleportation spell but the same happened to her horn as she was reduced to a simple earth pony, and something was telling her that soon she would be another kind of 'earth' pony.

The things pressed themselves more up and Twilight saw that they were lifeless shells of her friends. They were what Spike would call, zombies.

"Your time has come, Twilight Sparkle," an ominous voice said as it echoed through the cemetery and a grave opened up behind her.

"No! This is just a dream! Wake me up!" Twilight screamed as her zombified friends forcefully grabbed her and groaned as a zombie would and then all pushed Twilight into the grave. "Help! Spike! HELP!" She screamed as she landed and her friends grabbed a shovel each and then began burying Twilight alive.

She closed her eyes and was about to scream but suddenly she was in a dark blue room. It was endless and the floor consisted of some blue floaty magic. Suddenly though, Luna appeared through a door that also appeared out of nowhere and she took some steps towards Twilight.

"Twilight, that is the fate that you'll suffer if you give up on that box. You'll have to solve the mystery, and I promise you; since it is from the Tree Of Harmony, it has to do something with friendship," Luna said as she walked closer and looked down on Twilight. "Maybe you should even ask Discord for advice."

"Discord? But I don't even know where he is!" Twilight asked as she looked up at Luna who seemed very serious about the matter, she wasn't even smiling.

"You'll find him, where trouble goes, chaos follows," Luna said and then turned around as she walked towards the door again. "And you better hurry, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Celestia are in Chrysalis clutches and horrible things will happen to them," Luna said before opening the door and then walking through it as it slowly disappeared.

Twilight just stood there as she tried to process everything but she was snapped out of her thinking as the floor suddenly collapsed.

"What the-" She muttered before she began falling into a pitch black abyss, seeing lots of moving pictures of strange events on the way down. There was this one where herself and her friends were standing infront of a big wooden mask with two hands and arguing over something. Another picture floated by and she saw the big Koopa king laying on the ground in what looked like a destroyed Canterlot completely dead, but a glimpse of Chrysalis could be seen moving up in the background. Twilight wanted to find out more but suddenly everything went black and she opened her eyes as she sat up in Spike's small basket.

"I-uh... I'm, back," Twilight said as she shook her head and looked around as she saw as she was back in her own room again. The sun peeked in from the windows and the smell of breakfast came from downstairs. That made some sense at least, because nobody was still here in the bedroom.

She stood up and walked over to a mirror as she grabbed a hairbrush, looking at her fuzzy mane that made her look as if she had been electrified. She levitated the hairbrush with a sigh and began fixing her hair when the door to the bedroom suddenly opened and she looked at the doorway where Mario stood. He chuckled and looked at Twilight as he took off his cap.

"I was just-a checking if you were still asleep or not," Mario said as he scratched the back of his head and smiled.

"Nah, it's a wonder that I slept this long though," Twilight said with a smile as she finished brushing her hair and then patted with one of her hooves to do the final fixes.

"Mhm," Mario said as he nodded.

A silence broke out as Mario stood in the doorway and held his cap while trying to think of a way to get a conversation going. He looked around in the room and then walked over to Twilight's bed and sat down and then began rolling his thumbs. Twilight glanced at Mario through the mirror and quirked an eyebrow before turning around and looking at him directly.

"Is there something on your mind, Mario?" Twilight asked as she levitated her hairbrush into a drawer and then closed it.

"Yeah," Mario muttered as his eyes met Twilight's, a look of worry all too apparent in his eyes. "Princess Peach is gone, and we don't know where she is. And both Bowser and Chrysalis is searching after her. Heck, Bowser might already have found her," Mario said before looking down at the floor again.

"Don't you worry, Mario," Twilight said with a concerned smile and took some steps closer to the bed. "I'm sure she'll be alright. After all, she told me that you've rescued her countless of times before in situations where it was worse," She added as she patted his shoulder with one of her hooves and then levitated his cap onto his head. "I better go downstairs now and get some breakfast though, try to cheer up a bit in the meantime," Twilight said and then walked through the doorway and down the stairs, leaving Mario alone.

His thoughts immediately wandered over to Peach and he leaned back onto the bed and closed his eyes, because he hadn't gotten any sleep because of all the thoughts.

"This is Officer Rosebadge; Bowser, do you copy?" Bowser heard through the walkie talkie as he opened his eyes with a grumpy yawn. He sat up and was met with some pedestrians looking at him in fright and then quickly walking away. He was angry at himself for not finding a more comfortable place to sleep on, but he had been tired when he decided to sleep in an alleyway.

"Bowser, do you copy?!" Rosebadge shouted through the walkie talkie and Bowser gruggingly grabbed the thing and activated the mic.

"Yeah, I do. What's your deal this time?" Bowser said as he rubbed his eyes.

"Your son has been found and been taken to the police station, you'll have to come and pick him up. And I've got some good news from the mayor," Rosebadge said with an amused tone, knowing that she'll get to meet Bowser one more time.

"Guuuh," Bowser said with a grumpy sigh, but he knew he had no other choice but to go there. "I'll arrive as fast as I can," Bowser added and then muted his mic and looked towards Kamek who was sleeping on a bench. He took some heavy steps towards Kamek and then drew in some air. "MARIO HAS TAKEN PEACH!" Bowser roared, his voice so powerful that the ground shakes somewhat.

Kamek quickly jumped up and aimed his wand forward and to the sides, "Where are they!? Koopa troops, don't let them escape!" Kamek said in panic as he looked around after Mario but saw nobody, except Bowser standing infront of him and laughing so much that he had to lean against the wall.

"Oh, ha ha. Very funny, lord Bowser," Kamek said in an annoyed voice and sighed as he tucked away his wand and crossed his arms.

"No time for slacking, they've found Junior," Bowser said and then turned around and began walking towards the police station.

"If that's the case, then let's not waste any time!" Kamek said as he summoned his broom and then catched up to Bowser before grabbing his wand again and teleporting them right into the reception room.

Rosebadge leaned against a desk with Bowser Junior standing next to her with crossed arms with an annoyed expression on his face. He shined up though as he saw both Kamek and his father standing right infront of him.

"Papa! I'm sorry for calling you stupid!" Bowser Junior said as he ran up to Bowser and hugged his leg due to the size difference.

"When did you call me stupid?" Bowser asked as he scratched his head and then bent down and picked Bowser Junior up onto his back. "Either way, were have you been?"

"Me? Well, I woke up in a lab and some scientist tried killing me! But I showed him!" Bowser Junior said, seeing Bowser react on the part about him almost being killed.

"Scientist... what?!" Bowser asked as he began boiling up, stomping with his foot down into the ground. "That scientist dares trying to kill my son just like that?! I hope he or she paid the Bowser price!" He shouted, being careful not to go on a rampage and then lose his reputation.

"Woah, big dude. Calm down," Rosebadge said to Bowser as she grabbed a cup of coffee and sipped from it. "The mayor just dropped by this morning with a model of that thing you wanted. It's yours, so just take it," she said as she grabbed a thing from the desk and then handed it over to Bowser who grabbed it carefully. It was a full 3D Model with working mechanics, it was just as Bowser wanted it to be.

"Well, let him know that it's perfect, now. If you don't mind, I'll be going," Bowser said while trying to act like a normal king, his grumpy voice and scary appearance only making him look comical.

"You do that, King Bowser. Just promise me that I'll have a VIP ride sometime," Rosebadge said with a dirty wink and Bowser dropped his chin and just as he was about to puke, Kamek used his wand to send them to the place where the government had been flatting out the ground so they could build apartments, but now it was going to be Bowser World.

Kamek grabbed the 3D model with his magic and levitated it to the middle as he then flew over it and activated his wand, spraying his "Turn Giant" spell onto it as it began glowing in the colours of the rainbow. The 3D model began expanding and growing quicker for each second that passed and Bowser and Junior stood still as the floor beneath them changed, the theme park amusement rides growing taller and bigger. Kamek flew over the place again and sprayed his magic, making other Bowser minions appear with costumes and formal attire.

Some Koopas were wearing suits complete with a bow-tie. Bowser figured that these new minions were going to be the staff of World Bowser and grinned. They were standing amidst the transformation now and in just a matter of minutes the transformation was complete. Neon lights glowed up into the sky and big amusement rides activated and music began playing in speakers positioned here and there. What impressed Bowser the most was the big Bowser statue in the middle which had a giant tower built in the middle of it.

The tower looked like a chimney that went out of the statue's head, and Bowser only smirked. Ponies were gathering outside the gates to watch the spectacle at hand but some bouncer Koopas walked up to the gates and stood guard to make sure nobody sneaked in. Bowser knew this was going to be a success, and Mario wouldn't be able to stop him now!

"Gwarhahahr! Junior, what do you think about them apples?! Yeah!" Bowser shouted in a cheerful tone, smiling for himself as he walked towards the Bowser statue and decided that it was time for him to make himself at home. "Kamek! Tell the minions to test if everything is operational and give that pony named 'Trixie' some tips on what to do! We'll need something big for our grand opening!" Bowser shouted towards Kamek who was high up in the sky.

Kamek nodded and then descended towards a group of Koopas. Finally things were going Bowser's way; He had a 'fortress', he had Peach, he had a whole city on his side and what only awaited was this whole, pathetic, land!

Some hours later... outside of Ponyville

Trixie sat behind the curtains in her mobile stage, putting on some make up and making sure she was ready to perform. She had been training the whole night and somehow she still wasn't tired. Suddenly though with a 'poof', Kamek appeared behind her.

"Kraaah! Lord Bowser wanted to make sure that you're ready," Kamek said as he levitated on his broom.

"The great and powerful Trixie is always ready," Trixie said and turned around.

"Really? Then let me hear!" Kamek said with a cocky smile, looking at Trixie who levitated the page with the lyrics infront of her.

"Who's the mare next door, living in a haunted ma-" She sang in a monotone voice before Kamek cut her off.

"Gah! You can't sing! And either way, that part is sung by background choirs. You'll need a background choir!" Kamek said, looking at Trixie who looked annoyed.

"Yeah, and how am I supposed to do that?" Trixie asked as she crossed her hooves.

"Like this!" Kamek said as he activated his wand and summoned two Boos. Both said; "Boo" but one sounded like a child and the other sounded as deep in his voice as Bowser.

"That's good, but what about my voice?" Trixie said, smiling allknowingly at Kamek. Trixie looked forward to being as perfect as possible, even though she thought she was already as perfect can be.

Kamek sighed and spinned his wand, a beam going straight from the wand and into Trixie's throat as she began to shine before the light absorbed into her and then disappeared. "Try singing now."

"You'd better learn my name, 'cus it's Tri-i-xie!" Trixie sang in a high tone, without her voice cracking. It sounded beatiful to her own ears but Kamek just deemed it as okay.

"Now, that's a bit better. Put out some posters for Bowser World when you're there as well, try to think of something that'll attract more ponies there," Kamek said before spinning around and then disappearing with a flash.

"Oh, I already know what I am going to do," Trixie said in an evil voice and rubbed her hooves together, images of Twilight and her friends popping up in her head. "It's time, for a little revenge..."

Mario woke up once again and sat up in the bed before standing up and then walking out of the room and down the stairs. He was immediately met with Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Spike and Luigi standing in the hall and discussing something.

"Hello there, Mario! You ready for a tour around Ponyville?" Spike said as he saw Mario slowly walking towards them.

"Yeah, that would-a be nice," Mario said as he nodded and stopped next to Luigi. "But, where is-a Luna and Zecora?"

"They decided to go to Zecora's hut and plan some stuff so that they wouldn't bother us. I think that they're planning for a way for us to infiltrate Canterlot without having to directly face Chrysalis but still get to the egg chambers and rescue our friends," Twilight said, looking over to everyone else. "And now, we thought we'd finally get a chance to relax."

"Mhm, well. Let's-a go," Mario said as he smiled and looked as Applejack took the lead and turned around, opening the front door and walking outside.

"I wonder where Fluttershy is, she told us she was going to return to the farm as soon as she was done with her animals," Rainbow Dash said as she flew slightly over Twilight.

"Don't worry about her, Rainbow Dash. We'll drop by her cottage when we're done with the tour of Ponyville," Twilight said and smiled to Rainbow Dash as they walked through a long street with lots of market stands, each one selling a different kind of fruit or vegetable.

"Fair enough, Twi," Rainbow Dash said with a sigh as she then looked up from Twilight and saw a giant crowd of ponies infront of her.

Everyone stopped and raised an eyebrow, what was going on now?

"Strange, there's no town event that's supposed to happen today," Twilight said and spread out her wings as she flew up and looked towards where the crowd was looking.

A big stage was there now, red curtains covering whatever is behind it and spotlights randomly moving now and then. Twilight landed again and turned around to face the group with a sigh. "There seems to be some sort of show in our way, should we stay and watch or keep moving?" Twilight asked as she looked at all her friends, all of them seeming clueless.

"Well... couldn't hurt, right?" Applejack said with a shrug, moving ahead and pushing her way into the crowd as the others followed without saying anything.

"What-a do you think it-a is?" Mario asked Twilight as he tried to push his way through the crowd which seemed to distance themselves slightly from Mario.

"Could be anything, this is Ponyville after all," Twilight said with a sigh as they approached the middle of the crowd.

"I have a bad feeling about-a this..." Luigi muttered as he grabbed a hold of his brother's shoulder.

"Don-t-a you worry, Luigi. We'll be ready," Mario said quietly to Luigi as he looked back, continuing to walk until eventually stopping as they reached the middle.

Twilight noticed Fluttershy standing right next to them in the crowd, and she looked as curious as everyone else. Twilight walked up to her and gave her a bump from behind which made her squeal in fright.

"Ah! Omigosh, Twilight!" Fluttershy said as she turned around.

"Yeah, good to see you here as well, Fluttershy. Do you have any idea about what's going on?" Twilight said as she looked at Fluttershy and smiled.

"Uhm, no. The stage just kind of rolled in and then it has been standing here ever since..." Fluttershy said, pointing towards the wheels on the side of the stage.

Suddenly though the spotlights centered onto the middle of the curtains and a sudden drum roll made everyone go silent. Twilight and Fluttershy turned towards the stage and watched as suspension filled the air.

"Welcome to Trixie's Haunted Mansion Of Doom, dear fillies and gentlecolts! A spoooooooky musical show made just for you ponies in Ponyville, so enjoy your stay!" An announcer shouted as the curtains opened and revealed a fairly well decorated stage full of spooky props like spiderweb, purple candles and a creepy wallpaper making the background look like a big haunted mansion.

Suddenly something mysterious walked out on the stage wrapped in an odd cloak and was wearing a matching witch hat, the cloak and the hat had small stars and moons printed into them both and they were purple. Mario and Luigi didn't know who it was, but the others recognised those clothes and began growling slightly.

Two boos entered the stage and levitated over to each side of the stage and then placed themselves in a corner, the mysterious pony unwrapped herself from her cloak and threw it onto her back as she made it look like a cape instead. She smirked creepily as jazzy music started playing, attracting crowds of ponies there to look.

(You can press here if you want to get a hang of the melody or how the lyrics fit)

"Who's the mare next door, living in a haunted mansion?" The two boos sang in unison, one having a child-like voice and the other sounding like a fully grown male.

"You'd better learn my name, 'cus it's Tri-i-xie!" Trixie sang boastfully, looking over the whole crowd as she spotted Twilight standing at the front row. She smiled and quickly lifted up her rival with magic and levitated her onto the stage. Twilight's friends looked on in horror and immediately made their way to the stage, but the ponies were standing still in the crowd and didn't seem phased at all, heck, it looked like Twilight was part of the play.

"She knows the darkest spells and she brews the meanest potions!" The boos sang as Trixie quickly lifted Twilight up on the stage and before the alicorn could react, Trixie attached a ring to horn that sparked with red magic.

"You might be the ingredient I seek!~" Trixie sang, lifting up Twilight with a levitation spell again as she quickly summoned a big sack.

"Don't let yourself be fooled by her innocent demeanor," the boos sang as Mario, Luigi, Spike, Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Fluttershy went up on the stage, they immediately began running forward towards Trixie who had closed the sack with the help of a rope that was laying around on the stage.

"You'd better be afraid of the great, Tri-i-xie!" Trixie sang as she laid down the sack on the stage and then lit up her horn as she enveloped Twilight's friends in a magical aura that prevented them from moving.

"She plays with voodoo dolls and she has spiders in her hair!" the boos sang as Trixie smirked.

"Eh, I just like to do spooky things like that!" Trixie sang as the jazzy music started to get more intense, dropping into a small solo.

Everyone glared at Trixie as she slowly approached and levitated over three peculiar things, an eye of a newt, an old grainy wig and a small bottle labeled as kitten spit. The short solo was coming to an end and Trixie adjusted her mic a little as she prepared.

"Eye of a newt, I cast a hex on you!" Trixie sang as the eye became liquid magic and quickly fused with Fluttershy, quickly transforming her into what looks to be a stallion version of Fluttershy. "Grandma's wig, this'll make you big!" she continued as the wig became liquid magic as well, floating over to Applejack's hat which became so massive that it captured her under it. "Kitten spit, soon your pants won't fit!" Trixie continued to sing, opening the bottle and levitating the spit over to Mario and then forcing it into his mouth and using magic to force him to swallow it. "Pantalones Giganticus!~" she sang mockingly as Mario began shrinking very significantly, his clothes towering over him as he changed into the size of a small house-hold mouse. "Oh no, not again!" she sang with a sarcastic tone as she faked a swoon and put her hoof over her forehead as the crowd cheered on her to continue with her magic tricks.

"She could defeat a god, whilst balancing on a single tree top!" The boos sang as they approached and threw the male Fluttershy, Applejack and the now miniature Mario into the sack.

"Everyone knows I'm the greatest, Tri-i-xie!" Trixie sang as she held her hat in one hoof and spinned around as fireworks exploded behind her, creating quite a sight, this only leading to her earning even more cheering from the massive crowd.

"You'd better watch your step or she'll cast a spell on you!" The boos sang as they threw Rainbow Dash in the sack as well, now leaving only Spike and Luigi left.

"I really like eating with spoons!" Trixie sang with a weird expression as she began questioning Bowser's songwriting ability. "I must refer to my spells, and yes, it's true, well. I don't have as many friends as you!" She continued as she walked up to Spike and Luigi and mockingly hugged them at the same time as if they were inaminate plushies. "But I think you're nice, and maybe we could be friends?!" She said as she went up into a high soprano voice, looking at Luigi and Spike pleadingly before dropping into an evil grin. "And if you say no, you're toast!" She sang as yet another jazzy solo kicked in, she immediately threw Spike and Luigi off the stage and into a garbage bin.

"Spooked yet? You gentlecolts and fillies should be! Because I'm the great and powerful, Trixie!" Trixie shouted over the solo into her mic, looking at the crowd who was enjoying every part of it, thinking it all was just planned before with all the magic tricks and everything.

"Who's the mare next door, living in a haunted mansion?" The boos sang as the music began getting a bit more intense.

"You'd better learn my name, 'cause it's Tri-i-xie!" Trixie sang as she smirked, knowing that she has completed her true mission.

"Just remember this, when you see her on the street..." The boos sang, looking at Trixie as the song began approaching its end

"I'm the coolest mare you'll ever meet!" She sang, wrapping herself in her cloak in the blink of an eye and threw a smoke bomb down to the ground.

The music soon stopped and as the clouds of smoke disappeared the stage and everything was gone, the only thing remaining being the posters hanging on the nearby walls about a theme park called Bowser World opening up in Manehattan. Luigi and Spike crawled out of the dumpster and sighed pathetically, they both looked at eachother and then towards the stage and saw as well as it was suddenly gone. They scratched their heads but instead walked over to the wall with the posters.

"Hey, Luigi. Isn't Bowser that big dragon king that stole that princess?" Spike said as he grabbed a poster from the wall and began reading.

"Mhm, and I have a feeling that witch worked with Bowser since she was accompanied by two boos," Luigi said as he looked down at Spike and crouched down next to him to read the poster as well.

"Huh, weird. Bowser World is opening up in Manehattan, a fun place for both small ponies and adults! We've got attractions that are extremely rad and that'll make you beg for more such as the infamous "DK's Rocket Barrel Ride", "Plessie's Plunging Falls" and the classical Rollercoaster called "Bowser's Lava Flume-Ride", so, come at our grand opening and you'll have a chance to see the King of Koopas, Bowser, himself on stage. Entry fee; 10 bits," Spike said as he directly read from the poster that had a picture of a big neon head of Bowser with large text under it. But he quickly tore it apart with his claws and frowned, looking up at Luigi as to await an answer.

"Bowser World... they must have been taken there!" Luigi said as he lifted up his cap that had slipped down a little and smiled at Spike.

"Then let's go and save ourselves some princesses!" Spike said as he striked a heroic pose, looking quite humoristic with his little tummy and baby appearance.

"Huh, 'princesses'?" Luigi said as he looked at Spike and quirked an eyebrow.

"Oh, I was referring to Twilight and Peach, hehe," Spike said as he chuckled and scratched the back of his head.

"Okie! Well then, let's-a go!" Luigi shouted as he did a heroic pose as well.

"Okey dokey!" Spike said, doing his best to imitate an Italian accent.

And so the two wandered out of Ponyville to rescue their near and dear from the evil clutches of Bowser, are they gonna make it? Yeah they are, but they're comic reliefs, something bad is going to happen...
