Luigi...and Twilight's Mansion
Chapter 5: Powering Up!
Previous ChapterNext Chapter“I know this is a place full to the brim with ghosts but does it always have to be so dark in here?” I asked as I and Luigi entered the next room to see…darkness.
“You’ll get used to it…a little that is,” Luigi said, filled with fear.
“Wait a minute, I think I can help with light,” I said as I cast a spell and my horn was glowing with light, allowing us to see the room more clearly.
“That’s some horn of yours,” Luigi said as we looked at the room. From the looks of this room, it seemed to be the living room, due to the couches, and tables, there was even a table with a bunch of balls in the center, along with some sticks at the side. “Hm, let’s take a look around,” Luigi said as we started to look around the room some more but we didn’t see anything.
“Hey, would you take a look at this,” I said as I pointed to something odd. “Call me crazy but does it look like there’s supposed to be some sort of curtain here?” I asked as I pointed to curtains covering part of the wall and windows, but one seemed missing.
“Hm, you’re right Twilight, that is odd,” Luigi said as he scratched his chin. “Hm, I wonder,” Luigi then switched to what looked like the flashlight setting but instead of a bright light, the light was all sorts of different colors. He then aimed the light towards the curtains, and after a few seconds, an outline of the curtain started to appear until these blue spheres appeared.
“What are those?” I asked.
“Spiret balls, quick, use you’re ponygust and suck them up!” Luigi said as we did just that. It only took a few seconds but we were able to suck them all up. Just then, I looked back and saw that the curtain had appeared.
“That was pretty easy,” I said as I switched back to flashlight mode.
“Yeah…easy…..wait a second,” Luigi said as he pushed back the curtains and revealed a secret door. “I knew there was something else here,” Luigi said confidently.
“Shall we open it?” I asked.
“Yes we shall,” Luigi said. Just as he was about to open the door, I felt something…odd. I looked back at my Ponygust and saw that it was vibrating.
“Do you feel that?” I asked as I turned back to Luigi and saw that his Poultergust was also vibrating.
”That means he’s calling,” Luigi said as he then pulled out the Virtual Boo and held it to his face. “Hey Egad…..were doing pretty well…..Now?….we’ll be there soon,” Luigi said as he lowered the Virtual Boo. “Egad wants us back at the lab as soon as possible,” Luigi said.
“Sounds like a plan,” I said as Luigi pulled out the mini TV from earlier and placed it on the ground.
“You’re gonna love this,” Luigi said as the TV grew as big as me.
“Woah,” I said in astonishment.
“We don’t want to keep Egad waiting, let's go!” Luigi said as he entered the TV with me following behind. After a very bumpy experience, I stepped out of another TV and saw we were back in Egad’s secret lab.
“Welcome back you two, I sense you’re ghost-busting experience is going as well as can be?” Egad said as I and Luigi stepped closer.
“Good as can be, Twilight just caught her first ghost!” Luigi said excitedly.
“Oh, that must feel good!” Egad said to me with excitement.
“Yeah, it was scary, yet thrilling!” I said as I could feel myself blush a little.
“You’ll get the hang of it soon enough, just ask me and Luigi,” Egad said as he chuckled a little.
“It’s true,” Luigi said.
“Anyway, I wanted you two because I’ve made a few new devices. One is a device that can better detect irregular objects and signals for Twilight,” Egad explained.
“That sounds amazing,” I said.
“Say Twilight, could you lower your head for a moment?” Egad asked as I lowered my head and felt some sort of device placed onto my head.
“I call it, The NES, Neutron Entensifer Spectacle, with the NES, whenever you’re trying to suck a ghost into the Ponygust, the NES will help better stabilize it, allowing you and Luig to be able to fight together,” Egad explained as I looked at the device from a nearby mirror. It rested on top of my horn as it was a grey ring that fitted perfectly.
“I could get used to this thing,” I said.
“As for you Luigi, I give you, the Last Resort Tube, I name it after your last adventure with ghosts,” Egad said as he gave Luigi what looked like a test tube with some sort of star inside. “If you and Twilight are ever on the verge of…losing the battle, that tube is filled with two superstars, one for each of you. You can only use it once unless I can get more so make it count, ok?” Egad said.
“That sounds like it’ll be useful,” Luigi said.
“Wait a second, what’s a superstar?” I asked.
“Oh, it makes you invincible to anything for a short period,” Egad explained.
“That sounds like it’ll be useful in there,” I said.
“Anywho, I’ve been able to track the energy levels for the room you’ve been into and a few others so far, I’ve been sensing a strong spike in the next room, I don’t know what to expect in there but I would be prepared, you two could be in for a real fight,” Egad explained.
“Sounds good professor, we should be checking out this spike,” Luigi said.
“Well go along, save the world already!” Egad said with a chuckle.
“Ready Twilight?” Luigi asked.
“I’m ready!” I said as we both walked through the TV once more.
“Ugh, that TV sure does come with a strong headache,” I said as I and Luigi stepped back through the TV and into the living room.
“It’ll go away soon, we have to check out that spike,” Luigi said as I agreed. Luigi then nervously opened the door as the two of us headed inside.
“Hello?” I asked around.
“Who’s there?” A voice said as the lights turned on to reveal some sort of stairwell. “I was told to take care of a plumber and a pony, you two seem to fit those descriptions,” The voice said to reveal themselves as a ghost. This ghost was dressed very nicely. He was wearing a tuxedo, a tie, and a top hat.
“Uh… were just passing by,” Luigi said as the same gates from before blocked the door.
“I hope you’re ready for what I have in store!” The Ghost said as he gave an evil laugh.
“Get ready Twilight, we're in for a tough one!” Luigi said nervously.
