Book 1: Washed Ashore

A/N: Well Folks I decided to Delay them getting to Sky Bloom so I'm going to put Luigi on a Solo adventure for a bit during the "Washed Ashore" Mini Saga. You probably noticed the Title now says Book 1, before the chapter that is because the first three chapters are kind of a prologue. This Chapter will also be the first chapter to include a 'Character Journal Entry' before the chapter. The 'Character Journal Entries' are what each character is thinking and feeling during the voyage and will also be like a recap of last time... however they shall only appear at the beginning of a new "Book". Don't be surprised to see some familiar faces along with some new ones during the "Washed Ashore" saga.

Toad's Journal:
Entry 1:
The past couple of months have been very hectic. First a two strange beings fought inside the castle causing it to blow up, sending everyone in the Castle and the town surrounding it flying off. Most of the lights were headed south, unfortunately I was one of those lights and I flew straight into Luigi. I put him into a coma for two months, however this gave us time to prepare a ship and make arrangements. However one day a female visitor showed up at Tadpole pond while I was conversing with Frogfucius. She was very pretty and had two large wings. She looked at the old frog and asked if he knows anything about "The Legend of the Stars" which is a very old mythology in our kingdom. We answered yes and she said that the Prophecy needed to be found before the servants of Lucius find it. This caused my and the old frog to enter a state of shock and by the time we came to she was gone. Two weeks later Luigi awoke, we told him what happened and we headed to Yo'ster Island to board the ship. When we made it there we met our two crewmates, the young toad Gaz Rosalia and the green Yoshi, aptly named Yoshi. We set sail and we finally made it to Ariso, where we planned to get some supplies before we headed out. While there we met a strange villager who told us to head to Sky Bloom to get some weapons. He also introduced us to an old Toadling named Shorin Talisa. He said that he could unlock magic inside of us because in the Islands the magical flora that grow in the Mushroom Kingdom do not exist. So the old man joined our crew and we now are setting sail for Sky Bloom Island.

Chapter 1: Off Course

As the Kingdom's Pride entered the waters in between Delfino and Ariso a large storm kicked up. The waves began to toss the boat around as it was battered by rain and wind. As Luigi and the others attempted to tie the sails up to keep them from tearing a bolt of lightning struck the deck near Shorin.

"Gaz! Yoshi! Get Shorin below deck NOW!" Luigi yelled as he and Toad continued to tie the sails up.

"That's the last sail Luigi!" Toad yelled as he jumped back down to the deck, "Everything's tied down and secured, all we need to do is get below deck"

"Not enough time for me to get there!" Luigi yelled back, "I'll tie myself down, you get below deck immediately Toad"

"Yes sir!" Toad yelled as he entered the door to the below just as a wave crashed onto the deck near Luigi.

"Toad," Gaz said running up to him as he closed the door, "What about Luigi"

"Not enough time for him to get down here, all we can do is hope he secured himself well enough," Toad said as he hung his head "What!" Gaz and Yoshi both said at the same time.

"A huge wave was coming as I closed the door," Toad said as he slumped to the ground.

"Do not fret young one," Shorin said as he walked up to Toad, "Luigi may be new to the islands, and this may be his first ship, but our captain is resourceful." The old man said with a smile, "And even if he does fall over he has magic now, magic unlocked with my help"

"But he's the one with the map!" Toad yelled.

"Didn't I tell you not to worry," Shorin said shaking his head, "I can track anyone who I have unlocked magic from." Shorin said with a laugh, "Even if we lose him I can guide us to where he is"

"Oh," the other three said.

"Hey old man," Gaz said looking at Shorin, "What about me, how come you won't unlock magic from me"
"Because! You are impatient and have no respect for your elders!" Shorin yelled at the youth.

Two hours later.

"The storm is over," Yoshi said as he sniffed the air.

"Is Luigi still up top Master Shorin?" Toad asked the wise old man.

"No, he got swept away moments after you came down here," Shorin said with a sigh, "He's headed to the Southeast at an alarming speed." he said as they went up top.

"Well before we go after them," Gaz said looking around, "We need to pull into the nearest port and repair the Kingdom's Pride"

"Fortunately we're not to far from Delfino!" Shorin said as he looked at a piece of paper with thirteen moving dots on it

"What is that!" Gaz said looking at the paper.

"It's a map of showing myself and everyone whom I unlocked power from," Shorin said, "That one floating to the east is Luigi, the two right there are Toad and Yoshi, the one towards where Luigi is heading is an old acquaintance, The five to the Northwest are some of the villagers in Azure, the port town in Ariso, the two just slightly north of here are two people on Delfino, and the one to the far north is Frogfucius." Shorin said as he pointed to each dot.

"Frogfucius!" Toad yelled taken aback, "You unlocked power from inside Frogfucius"

"Yes, he was one of the first people whom I unlocked power from within that is still alive, I am 127 years old after all," Shorin said as he laughed.

"Okay...Gaz set our heading for Delfino," Toad said as he looked up into the sky, "We don't have much time to waste"

"Why is that?" Gaz asked, "You and Luigi have been pushing us since we started and haven't told us anything"

"The Legend of the Stars," Toad said as his face became stern, "Lucien's followers are here and are attempting to find a way to free Lucien"

"Who told you this!" Shorin yelled.

"A beautiful young woman who had two large blue feathered wings, her eyes were a piercing golden color, her hair was a flowing silver, and her ears..." Toad said as Shorin cut him off.

"Were pointed like that of a cats," Shorin said, "A Star Maiden... What could be so important that a all three races of Star Road would come down here"

"ALL THREE!" Toad yelled, "YOU MEAN A GUARDIAN IS HER AS WELL"

"Yes, Including Geno the Wish Bringer, the Star Maiden that you met, and Talcine the Guardian who has been in the islands for the past thirty years, it seems all three races are indeed here...does this have anything to do with the prophecy?" Shorin asked as he finished his explanation.

"The Prophecy?" Gaz asked looking at everyone confused.

"When it became evident that Lucien would someday be free the Creator sent a prophecy to the Inner World. The Creator then appeared to the first King of the Mushroom Kingdom and gave him a message, 'A prophecy of the future lies to the south, beyond the land and the sea, a prophecy that must be fulfilled or the evil of Lucien shall descend upon your world, however that prophecy can only be received when a man from earth, a being that grows along with the spores of the ground, a giant lizard that has lost its size and ferocity to lead a simpler life as it runs through the trees of an island...' that's it," Shorin said as he quoted the a bit of the Legend of the Stars.

"What about the rest of it?" Gaz asked.

"Forgotten," Shorin said, "I believe by Toad's expression that I know more of the Legend than he does," Shorin finished as he looked over at the shocked Toad.

" 'A giant Lizard that has lost it's size and ferocity to lead a simpler life as it runs through the trees of an island'," Yoshi said as he thought hard, "Could that be referring to the Yoshi people"

"It indeed seems most likely," Shorin said nodding.

"I still don't understand it," Gaz said as he positioned the boat to head north.

Meanwhile.
"Uhhhh...where am I?" Luigi said as he got up.

"Prepare to die Mario!" a loud voice said as he saw a large body with a blunt weapon in hand heading towards him. Quickly dodging Luigi threw the rope he had around the other persons arms and pulled the rope hard causing him to fall to the ground.

"Who are you and why did you try to kill me?" Luigi asked the other person who resembled an ape, but he was wearing a tie.

"You're not Mario?" the ape asked.

"No I'm Luigi," he said as he shook his head, "Who are you"

"The name's Donkey Kong," the ape said getting up and breaking the rope, "And this is my Island"

"Donkey Kong! You're the one who kidnapped Pauline!" Luigi said shocked.
"Nah, that was my old man, and just to let you know I wasn't actually trying to kill you, Mario shows up every now and then and we kinda like to fight against each other," D.K. said with a bit of a laugh.

"Okay…" Luigi said with a sigh.

"Wait Luigi... Your THE Luigi Mario!" D.K. said in awe, "Man, I thought I would never meet you, I mean Mario told us about you and your accomplishments so we all think of you as a celebrity"

"What!" Luigi said as he heard that, "You mean I'm famous here"

"To everyone but Cranky!" D.K. said with a nod.

"Thank you lord..." Luigi said quietly.

"Well let's get off the beach, and find you some new clothes," D.K. said pointing to Luigi whose clothes were torn up and wet.

End Chapter One

You all know that Mario would talk about Luigi while hanging with the ape... and hearing about someone without meeting them tends to make them more famous... or at least it does in my line of work. The Washed Ashore Book of Mario RPG 2: Heaven's Gate has Luigi on D.K. Island. There will be more info regarding the Star Maiden coming up in Washed Ashore... However Talcine won't appear for a long time... he's one of those characters that is mentioned and takes forever to enter (Think Dias in Star Ocean 2 or Tenchi in Tenchi Muyo GXP).

In case you haven't noticed I'm not counting the Party, Kart, Smash, Tennis, or Golf games as part of the Continuity... However the ones that are included in the continuity are all the D.K. Games up to 64, Mario 1, 2, 3, World, World 2, RPG, 64 (DS Version), Mario Sunshine, and Luigi's Mansion.

Oh yeah the "What Weapon's Should Each Character Have?" is still open to request. Mainly because they won't get to Sky Bloom now until around chapter 9 or 10.
