Without further ado,
LETS GOOOOO!!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before Mario and Luigi discover the warp pipe and all that:
Luigi discovers a shrunken Bowser from some pipes, thinks its a talking turtle. The turtle claims he's a powerful and handsome king from a faraway land. And that if he kisses him--thus returning him to his true self--he will repay Luigi with a life of luxury and riches. Luigi doesn't believe him, but humors him and kisses him regardless
They eventually reunite in the mushroom kingdom, while the bros are trying to rescue peach for probably the first time. Bowser recognizes Luigi and remembers his promise, instantly dropping everything to fufill it.
Luigi had seen plenty of strange things in pipes before. Not just the gross waste and fatbergs. He'd seen wedding rings, goldfish, even false teeth! However he never expected to come across a talking turtle.
"I am not a turtle!" shouted the reptile, in an angry voice that simply sounded too adorable for its tiny stature. "I am the Mighty King of the Koupas!"
Luigi giggled as he lifted the turtle into his hands, careful of his sharp spikes. He had never seen a turtle with spikes, but this was New York.
"You are the cutest!" Luigi squealed, lifting the squirming turtle to his face. "La tartaruga più adorabile di sempre!"
"How dare you! I am not cute, I'm ferocious!" it let out a roar, which had it not been for its tiny vocal cords would have been very scary.
It actually startled Luigi just enough to snap out of his cooing-trance and actually listen to what the turtle was saying.
"I'm sorry," Luigi apologized, setting down the reptile. "I got carried away."
The turtle stood up bipedal, and shook the dust and grime from the pipes off of him. "I am King Bowser ruler of the Koopas and Darklands!" he declared.
"The ruler of the what and where?"
"Luigi!"
Luigi gasped. Without thinking he grabbed Bowser again, this time holding him behind his back as his older brother apprached.
"Mario!" Luigi faked a smile.
"I'm all done with the pipes over on the left side," Mario wiped the sweat from his brow. "How you doing over here?"
Bowser squirmed and wiggled, tryingto escape Luigi's grip.
"A-Almost all done!" Luigi tightend his grip.
"I'm going to go start up the truck, meet me outside?"
"S-Sounds good!"
Bowser nipped at Luigi's fingers, sharp fangs startling the green plummer.
"AH!"
"What was that, Luigi? Stai bene?"
"A-Awesome! Awesome Job today!"
Mario grinned, and left the area.
Luigi dropped Bowser back to the ground, cradling his hand.
"That hurt!" he cried.
"Thats what you deserve! You should have known no one can hold the mighty Bowser at bay!"
"What kind of mighty king is so tiny?" Luigi didn't mean it as an insult. He was genuinely curios, he had never heard of a Koopa before today.
"I'm not tiny!"
"Uhm..."
"I'm actually a tall and handsome King!"
"Really?"
"Uh, yeah! But I was cursed and now here I am." Bowser crossed his arms.
"Well, how do you break it?"
"Kiss me!" Bowser commanded.
"What?!" Luigi jumped back.
"You must kiss me! That will break the curse."
"I-I'm not kissing a turtle."
"Koopa!"
"I'm not kissing a Koopa."
"Do you know who I am?! I am King Bowser! I am the most powerful person in the world! How dare you defy me--"
Luigi lifted Bowser up into his hand again. "You were saying?"
Bowser growled. "Fine."
Luigi giggled again. "Mario is waiting, c'mon!" Luigi put Bowser in his pocket.
"Where are you taking me?! Wretched Human!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Turns out Luigi was taking him home. Bowser would have preferred his massive castle, but he had to admit Luigi's home was cozy. A step up from the dark and damp sewers. Luigi's spaghettis was also a much better than the weeds he was forced to feast on while on the pipes as well. And the soft cloths he rested with were a blessing after waking up soaked overnight.
Every night, Bowser would tell Luigi the same thing: "If you kiss me, I will give you millions in gold and a life of luxury in return."
And every night, Luigi would chuckle and say he didn't need it.
At first Bowser thought Luigi was annoying. The way he treated Bowser like he was a harmless pet. But slowly he began wanting to hear his giggling laughter. He began yearning for Luigi to stroke his finger through his hair. He became desperate to be held in his warm hands. He wouldn't mind if things stayed like this forever...
But Bowser had a Kingdom to run. Bowser had a world to take over! And a child to take care of! So he continued to ask every night, "If you kiss me, I will give you millions in gold and a life of luxury in return."
Until one night, Luigi agreed. He let out a pitiful chuckle, eyes sad. "I don't think my kiss will help all that much," he sighed. "But if you really want it that badly, I'll give it to you."
And so, Luigi's kissed him. His lips were soft and warm, but gone in an instant as Bowser was transported back to his kingdom in his regular size.
The curse was broken! The Koopa subjects rejoiced at the return of their missing King, and were more excited than ever to continue their mission to take over the world. So excited they didn't think twice about why Bowser wanted a third of his treasure to be locked away in a secure vault. They didn't even question when Bowser introduced a new protocol called 'Code Green' let alone why it entailed what it did. They were just happy to have their king back!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TIME SKIP||MANY YEARS LATER: MARIO'S SECOND MISSION TO RESCUE PRINCESS PEACH, LUIGI'S FIRST
The Darklands were just as scary and just as hot as Mario had always described them to be. Luigi had removed his gloves, using them as sweat rags. Mario however didn't seem affected, as he marched determined to rescue Princess Peach. Luigi knew his brother really liked the Princess, he could see why! She was beautiful, smart, and brave! But even she was no match for this Koopa King, who kept kidnaping her in an attempt to form a political marriage. And so Mario was once again going to rescue her, this time with Luigi by his side.
Luigi wasn't sure why his brother wanted his help, what help would Luigi be?! But Mario insisted that Luigi was the only one that could help him, and how could he say no to his brother and best friend?
After fighting their way through the castle they reached the throne room, where Peach was placed in a cage, swinging from the ceiling. And below her on the throne sat King Bowser, the one who kept kidnapping Peach.
"Mario!" Princess Peach cheered, seeing her rescuers. "And Luigi--"
"MARIO!" Bowser roared, cutting off Princess Peach. "You're too late! Soon, the mushroom Kingdok will be--" Bowser stopped mid-sentence, finally noticing the man in green.
The entire room was silent, and very very awkward.
"Uhm, you were saying?" Mario motioned for Bowser to continue.
"CODE GREEN!"
Koopa servants and solders flooded the room in a frenzy. Mario went to fight the soilders, before realizing they were releasing Princess Peach. Princess Peach looked confused herself, not sure what this code green was or why it meant she was being set free. Meanwhile the servants were surrounding Luigi, laying out a fancy red carpet from exactly where his feet stood to the throne. They also began lining it with vases filled with treasure. In minutes, the result was princess peach standing free on Mario's left, and Luigi on Mario's right surrounded by treasure and servants standing at attendance.
"What's Happening?" Luigi whispered to Mario.
"How should I know?!" Mario hissed, panicked.
"You're the one that's been here before!" Luigi waved his arms franticly.
Bowser approached Luigi, and bowed to him.
"Luigi, I have anxiously awaited the day we reunite." the King said.
"Wh-What?" Luigi gasped.
"As promised, I have prepared hundreds of fortunes worth of gold, the vases you see before you being filled with just a sampling of it." He motioned to the red carpet and the treasure along it. "As well as best servants the koopa kingdom can offer, all loyal to you and shall service you for as long as you shall live."
"It is an honor to serve you, Luigi." the servants declared.
"Wh-What are you talking about?!" Luigi cried.
"In return for breaking my curse, I promised you millions in gold and a life of luxury in return."
Luigi's jaw dropped. This was Luigi's pet turtle, from years ago. The one he swore could talk. The one who disappeared right before his eyes, a few weeks after he had adopted him. The one who claimed he was a a tall and handsome king, cursed to be tiny. The one who wasn't lying.
"Luigi, what is he talking about?!" Mario shouted.
"I-I can explain!" Luigi turned to his brother.
"Princess Peach, I regret to inform you that a political marriage will no longer be available." Bowser said.
Princess Peached rolled her eyes. "Oh no, I'm so disappointed." she said, sarcastically.
"Thank you for your understanding."
"Wait, your just giving up?" Mario turned back to Bowser. "After everything you've done?!"
"I must, as now that the one I am in love with is here I refuse to peruse any political marriage. I will be focusing my efforts and resources on courting Luigi for a genuine marriage."
Luigi fainted.
