___
(scene: nighttime; King Boo is flying through the air with three of his servants, en route to Bowser's Castle)
Oh what joy! I knew nobody could truly kill off that overbearing, spiky-shelled turtle!
I can't believe this. Bowser's not really dead?
: I can't believe it either, darling, but we got an official summons from Bowser's Castle, and who could've sent a summons like this but Bowser himself?
Can we be sure that it's really Bowser? What do you think, Googely Boogely?
: Heeheeheehee! Ohohoho!
Don't ask for his opinion, you know he's crazy.
Quiet, minions! We're here!
(Boos land at Bowser's Castle and ghost through the walls, heading towards the throne room)
It's so quiet in here. Where is everybody?
: Just be glad there aren't ghosts about.
(They reach the throne room and pass through the walls. Somebody's sitting on the throne)
Bowser? Is that you? It's me, your good friend King Boo!
That's him?
My, he's lost weight.
You have-a come. A-Excellent.
Huh?
Wait, milord! That's not Bowser. It's...
(Green flames erupt around the throne, bathing the figure in an eerie green light)
Luigi?!
Luigi, what's going on? Why are you in Bowser's Castle? Sitting on the throne like you own the place?
: I-a do own the place! I-a am the-a new King of the-a Koopa Kingdom! I-a am your-a ruler!
You must be joking. How dare you claim to rule over our king?
Hmph, such impudence! Minions! Let us depart!
(The Boos mobilize towards the door)
: I-a don't-a think so! (Whips back his cape, summoning his Poltergust)
Oh no! The Poltergust! The bane of all ghosts!
That's-a right! With this, I-a have no problem sending-a you to your-a doom! (Activates it, sucking Googely Boogely into the pipe)
Heeheeheehee!
Googely Boogely!
Who's-a next?
: Please, King Luigi! Mercy!
Yes, we're your humble servants! Please don't destroy us!

That's-a what I-a thought. And-a as my-a servants, you-a have to-a do as I-a say!
Yes, anything! Just spare our miserable lives!
Well, a-first...
___
(the Comet Observatory)
(Rosalina's finishing up some end-of the day paperwork)
(comes in through the door) Rosie, we're headed home.
: All right, be careful on the descent back to Earth, and... (pauses)
What is it, Rosie?
I sense danger...
(King Boo, Baxter Boo, and Booella ghost through the wall)
Eep! Ghosts!
That's right! (races towards Rosalina) And I've come to-
Luma, star bits!
(spits star bits at the ghosts)
Ack, the light! It burns!
Retreeeeeeeeeeeat!
(Boos bolt)
(glancing at Rosalina) What was that all about?
___
(Peach's castle)
(Peach is in bed, sleeping. She suddenly sits up)
Who's there?! (looks around wildly)
(Floor creaks)
(leaps out of bed and grabs her golf club) I know you're there. Be warned: I'm good with this club! (Looks around the room)
(Floor creaks again)
Aha. Under the bed, are we? (Grabs a flashlight and takes a peek before standing up) Huh, I guess not.
(Turns...straight into King Boo)
EEEEEEK! (faints) (King Boo catches her)
Got you.
Well done, sire!
Let's hurry before any of her toads come a-running.
(The Boos flee the castle, flying high above the treeline) (After a minute, Peach wakes up)
Ugh. What happened last... (gasps) Hey! W-why am I- (sees King Boo) YOU!!
Yes, me, dearie.
How dare you?! Let me go this instant!
Impudent wench! No one commands the King Boo!
That's right, princess. Now just sit tight, there's nothing you can do. Your precious Mario can't save you now.
(tic)(tic) Who needs saving?! (fishes her flashlight out of her pocket) Sudden Attack: "Sun Blast!" (shines light on King Boo)
Eek! The light! It burns! (drops Peach)
Waaaaaahhhhh! (falls)
Sire, are you all right?

Do I look all right, cretin?
You look sunburned.
Blasted Sun Blast. Where's the princess?
You dropped her. (Points down below, to where Peach is laying in a hay bale, spitting straw out of her mouth) Good thing we were flying over a farm.
Should we get her?
And get hit by the Sun Blast again? I'd rather die.
___
(Somewhere in Toad Town)
Wah! Ghosts!!
Run for your lives!!
(Toads are running and screaming everywhere as King Boo, Booella, and Baxter boo float down the street)
All right, minions, we've got to score somewhere in this town. This is our last chance.
(shivering) Yes! Or else King Luigi will destroy us with the Poltergust.
Er, but perhaps we should've waited to turn visible until we'd located our target? Everyone's running from us now.
True...hmm, how're we going to find a good victim if they're all running and screaming for the hills?
Oh! Milord! There's a perfect target!
(Points across the street, where Pauline is looking through the windows of a boutique at a red wedding dress)
Hmm... It's very frilly. Would DK like frilly? I don't know. He's so...simplistic.
Tall.
: (sighs) Beautiful.
(smacks Baxter Boo upside the head) And powerless. She's perfect!
Maybe something A-line... But I don't like this one, that sash in the middle is so ugly. Hmm, maybe... (turns and sees the Boos flying towards her) Ahhh!!!
___
(back at Bowser's- oops, Luigi's Castle)
So, you've-a returned, servants.
Yes, Lord Luigi. We come bearing a gift. (carries a bag)
(pleased) You've-a captured her?
Yessir. One damsel in distress, as promised. (Opens bag, revealing Pauline inside, bound, gagged, and unconscious)
(powers up Poltergust) You-a fools! I-a told you to-a kidnap a-Rosalina!
Wah! Wait, sire! Please, hear our plea!
We tried to kidnap Rosalina but...she was too powerful, with her Luma and his star bits.
: A-and we tried to kidnap Princess Peach, but she was too strong as well. S-so we saw this girl on the street, and we thought she might be your type.
(descends from throne and inspects Pauline) Hmm. She-a is really pretty. Maybe-a enough to make Daisy jealous.
To make who what?
A-Good work, minions.
Yes! Freedom!
A-wait! You-a may have done well with a-this task, but I-a may have a-other missions for-a you to perform.
Uh, what?
So-a until that-a time comes... I'll keep you-a safe in here! (fires up Poltergust and sucks ghosts inside)
Wait a second!! You said we could go after-
I-a said nothing of the-a sort! (sucks ghosts in all the way and powers down Poltergust)
: (wakes) Ugh... Uh... (blinks and sits up) Huh?! W-wh-where am I?! (sees Luigi) W-who are you?
I am-a King Luigi. And-a you are my captive.

The Bettor's Oath [A Dark-Modern LITRPG]
We live in a world where the rabbit’s foot helped win the game. Following that logic, tell me, what happens when the odds are flipped against the strong and a god rises to give the weak their right for revenge?~Last segment of the First Monarch's speech before the Lablanca battle. Lothar Ardolf, an alcoholic 27 years old high school teacher, was one of the many men who failed to catch up to life.When everyone around him worked to leave a mark behind, he idled away between states of short sobriety and static numbness, hoping that one day everything would resolve itself. It took little to wake him up. Only a life, soul, and body changing experience.Thrust into a world of cheap power and tyrannical governments, where a man could rival what is true and alter what is false, he was tasked by an elusive being with befalling titans.He wakes up in a prison with a path laid in front of him; one that would challenge all the resolve he has and more. Intertwined in a convoluted scheme of politics and old grudges, he will need to learn how to wield his new powers in order to escape before the secrets of the prison threaten to unravel him.However, he shortly realizes that his new faded fantasy was not a fairy tale. All that awaits him in the end, for standing against the world, is death. That is, if the three sided coin lands on heads. If it lands on tails... The shadowbane army rises. ...... This story is a neo-noir dark LITRPG in a world similar to earth. Take the tags seriously. I've been working on this project for 6 months and my MC is a bit unconventional, so I'm excited to introduce you all to him. Beware, it will be a slow-burn, so please be patient. The main plot will start to kick up at around chapter 15. I will be writing about racists, rapists, cultists and horrible humans. I do not condone or excuse their behavior or choice of words but the first arc will be in a prison and (some) prisoners don't mince their words. My MC doesn't adapt to the new world immediately because that is not realistic at all. It takes time and because of his personality, it will take more than a system to convince him to do someone else's bidding ;) Each chapter will have around 3000+ (give or take) words. I will be updating 2-3 times a week (depending on how busy I am with work and/or college) when I'm done publishing my backlog (Which is very big, 40,000+ words). **Each comment gets rep! Cover art by @tahraart on Instagram. Link to discord: https://youtu.be/91wX0NRjJqg Have a good one, Pistol. **** THE STORY IS ON TEMPORARY HIATUS. WE WILL BE BACK IN 2 MONTHS. SORRY EVERYONE.
