Mario and Luigi: Brothers in Equestria
Chapter 5: Equestrian Appetites
Previous ChapterLuigi looked to Rarity, who had her eyes locked onto the large beast that stood before her, puffing out smoke from his nostrils, a look of rage on his face as he snarled. Rarity backed away slowly, and Bowser stepped forward, making a small imprint in the ground. Luigi jumped in front of Bowser, and began yelling at Bowser in full blown italian. Bowser let out a small laugh, which turned into a full boom of hysteria. Luigi quickly shut his trap and jumped back to protect Rarity. Whatever Bowser wanted with her, it was obvious that keeping her alive was going to keep Bowser from fulfilling whatever plan it was he had for her.
Rarity was completely speechless, as Luigi and Bowser had a standoff. None of the guards, pony or koopa, would dare try their luck in trying to make the first move, should they get in the crossfire. Bowser made the first move, breathing in a large amount of air as his mouth began to glow a fiery red, and he burst out a large fireball at Luigi. Luigi was ready for Bowser's attack, and hit the fireball back at Bowser, nailing him right in the face as he recoiled back, hands in his face as he screamed in agony. This sent the guards into alarm as they quickly began charging in at Luigi and Rarity. Luigi yelped as he grabbed Rarity, who involuntarily followed Luigi out on her hind legs, which was quite odd for her, since she could barely walk like that, not to mention run, but Luigi pulled her up, so she had no choice but to rely on the creature to keep her upright.
"Not to interrupt darling but, where are we going?" She asked, looking ahead of Luigi, trying to plant her third hoof back on the ground, but failing. Luigi pointed to a familiar looking building at the corner of Sugar and Cube. Luigi ran into the bakery, a startled Mrs.Cake jumping behind her table in fear as Luigi took Rarity into the kitchen. She gulped as she looked around, that oversized dragon would be coming in here at any moment! What were they going to do?! She didn't want to die here with a strange creature from another dimension! She still hadn't had her first love yet either! Oh, what a horrid way to go!
Luigi looked around frantically for whatever it was he needed, then he found it, a chef hat! It wasn't usually what Luigi had back in the mushroom kingdom, but it would have to do. He stuffed one on Rarity, and tried to fit the hat over his head, but it was simply too small, oh well, it would have to do. Rarity was confused, and wanted to ask a question, but she found herself with a comically funny mustache on her snuzzle. "I say! This is quite a strange thing for you to do when WE'RE ABOUT TO DIE!" She said, unladylike of her but this was INSANE! How was he going to pull this off?! Luigi sushed Rarity, and went into a closet somewhere, then came out, completely changed into a different set of clothes. He always had a little extra set of clothes in many kinds of fashions. This one was styled after the old italian pizza sellers that was from Luigi and Mario's home town, he used to be a pizza maker you know!
Luigi began cooking instantly, and Rarity couldn't help but look out the door. There was Bowser, demanding Mrs.Cake for the whereabouts of them now. Rarity gulped as she looked to Luigi. "Um. pardon me for being rude earlier, and now, but...We have a problem..." She said, gulping. Luigi looked over Rarity, and closed the door. Luigi took Rarity and turned her face towards Luigi, as he made a gesture over his lips. "Zip it".
Rarity nodded, keeping completely silent. Luigi ran over to the closet again and pulled out a skirt. They were going to recognize Rarity's...um...butt tattoo? Luigi never understood why everyone had one, but whatever, they were going to recognize it and Luigi's plan would be ruined! Luigi had finally finished his masterpiece. A simple, pepperoni pizza! Luigi looked for some super hot sauce, and after succeeding in doing so, he poured it all over the pizza. Bowser was going to have a big surprise! Luigi adjusted Rarity's fake mustache, and smiled. He tried to gesture for Rarity to disguise her voice, but she kinda already had that covered....kinda... Luigi patted Rarity through the door, and she came face to face with Bowser.
"Hey!" He said, looking Rarity straight in the eye, as he invaded her personal space. She began to sweat with complete fear. Bowser looked royally angry, but then he calmed down, almost instantly. "Have you seen a green hatted man run in here awhile ago?" He asked. Rarity gulped. The disguise was working! She didn't know how, but it was working! She shook her head, and grabbed onto Bowser's hand. "Please sir, we're going to need you for a second!" She said, in the best stallion voice she could muster. Bowser raised an eyebrow as Rarity as she pulled him over to a chair, where he took a seat, honestly confused about what was going on. Rarity had it all set for Luigi, and she quickly cantered into the kitchen, where Luigi was saying his goodbyes to his mustache, before ripping it off. Tears swelled in his eyes, mostly in emotional pain...and...physical pain too...
He wiped them away, and placed on some glasses. Luigi now looked like a completely different person! Luigi placed the extra hot pizza on a plate, and gallantly strode outside and to Bowser's table, placing the food on his plate. The koopalings had taken seats around Bowser, discussing things such as how to catch Luigi, and where he might have ran off. Luigi put the pizza down in front of the group, and quickly made his way back to Rarity, who was now hyperventilating from the large amounts of pressure she was feeling. If she stayed her any longer, she would have a heart attack! Luigi took off Rarity's disguise, but kept the skirt on her. They didn't have much time to change a lot, so they had to get their silly disguises off. Luigi took off his hat and glasses, and put on his original hat, taking Rarity by the hand again and rushing out.
To Luigi's delight, the koopas were all having the same problem Bowser was having, a sever case of super spicy hot sauce! They were all breathing fire from their mouths, even King Bowser himself was unable to control his firey flames! Mr. and Mrs.Cake had quickly made their exit, but they forgot one thing...
Pinkie pie! They had left her upstairs! If she stayed, then...Well...The worst could happen! Rarity had to explain this to Luigi and he regretfully went upstairs, hopeful that Bowser wouldn't be able to recover from this anytime soon, so that they would have enough time to escape. Luigi and Rarity looked around frantically for Pinkie Pie and found her asleep in her room. Luigi didn't have time to explain anything to Pinkie who was waking up, hair disheveled and mood at a mild happy. Luigi picked up Pinkie, as she tried to wake up, but couldn't quite do so. Rarity, Luigi, and Pinkie were making their exit as an enraged Bowser began giving chase, but giving up as the next side effect of the pizza settled in on his stomach. Time for him to find a bathroom.
Luigi, Rarity, and a sleepy Pinkie had made their escape! Now, it was only a matter of finding everypony else....
