Luigi looked around the room. Back and forth—twice, thrice and deliberately.
But it was still the same—King Boo was nowhere to be found.
“Come out, tu hell of a con artist!” Luigi seethed as he looked around. He felt ridiculous with the fact that the lack of response made him feel as if he were talking to himself, but it couldn’t be helped—King Boo was a total no-show at the moment.
“Now you’re going to chicken out of this fight, King Boo?” Yoshi dicho among the walls, pretty sure that even though he’d likely get no response at all, there was no doubt King Boo was listening to their complaints. “You conjured up a multitude of ghosts to do your bidding yet tu yourself can’t even man up and fight—”
Yoshi’s sentence was cut short when something slashed at him from behind.
“Ugh, what was that all about?!” Yoshi complained, slowly working his way up from the blow that hit him and knocked him to the floor. “That was some force that hit pinned me.”
“Must’ve been King Boo,” Luigi muttered. Then he looked straight. “The problem is...I didn’t see anything hit you, Yoshi. It was like tu fell down on your own. In fact, if tu a-hadn’t dicho out loud that there was some force that hit you, I would’ve thought that tu tripped over something and fell.”
“I don’t suppose...?” Yoshi began, then he looked around to really check if King Boo had suddenly showed up—but there was no one else in the room but the two of them.
“What are tu thinking right now, Yoshi?” Luigi asked.
“You think the King Boo can...?”
“Yes...?”
Suddenly, before Yoshi could continue, Luigi was somehow lifted off the floor and tossed across the room until he hit tortazo dab onto the wall.
“Ugh, that hurts!” Luigi hissed in pain.
“I knew it!!!” Yoshi gasped.
“What did tu know?!” Luigi prompted.
“King Boo isn’t gone—he’s here! He’s just invisible!”
“What?!”
Hissing, broken laughter echoed within the room; Luigi and Yoshi took that as a confirmation to the latter’s statement.
“I’ll a-take that as a ‘yes,’ ” Luigi said, standing up.
tu think tu can beat me?! King Boo’s voice filled the room with its harshness and jeers. tu think tu can be able to take me down? Me—the King of all Boos? tu can’t even see me!!!
“Oh, we will, tu heck of a ghostly scum!” Luigi yelled at King Boo with his fist raised.
Well, I suggest tu two should try to look for me. Otherwise...
And with that, another blow struck both Luigi and Yoshi to the floor. Sneering laughter followed after that.
...expect to get defeated before tu two even know it.
“Jeez, he sure is trying to rub it in,” Luigi cussed. He tried flashing lights in misceláneo places so he might be able to hit King Boo.
But, unfortunately, there was no scream of pain, no groan at the very least.
“Luigi,” Yoshi dicho suddenly. “Why don’t tu use that very same light bulb that tu used to stun all the ghosts in the entire room? I’m sure that’ll also work on being able to stun King Boo, right?”
Luigi palmed his forehead. “Ah, you’re a-right about that, pal!” He scouted for the light bulb he’d used...
...but all he found was a shattered mess of glass at the very spot were the light bulb used to be.
“What?! No!” Luigi screeched in terror. “King Boo destroyed the light bulb!” And, por doing that, the Boo Boss had just gotten several steps ahead of them.
Yoshi sighed. “Now what?!”
No cheating, tu ghost-busting scums!
“You’re cheating, tu heck of a fiend!” Luigi protested.
más blows swiped at Luigi in response, nearly knocking him down again.
“Don’t think you’ve won just because tu destroyed the light bulb,” Luigi shouted. “I’ve beaten ghosts without that light bulb, and I can do it again!”
I’d like to see tu try....
Luigi narrowed his eyes at the wall. Pretty sure that, without the help of the light bulb, there would be a más difficult time taking King Boo down, even though he was only the one ghost.
“There needs to be a way to take down King Boo, no matter if he’s invisible...,” Luigi pondered.
Luigi stared at the lens of his Poltergust nozzle. Then he looked around the room.
Finally, he found something—not what he wanted, but what he needed to be able to somehow get the job done.
“Yoshi,” Luigi called to his friend. “Activate the flashlight function of your Poltergust...and do exactly what I’m doing right now!”
Yoshi was confused, yet he did what the green plumber told him to do. With the press of a button, he activated the regular flashlight function.
“Okay, now what?” Yoshi asked.
“Let’s aim the lights at the broken shards of the light bulb glass!”
The duo quickly moved directed the flashlights’ rayo, ray of light toward the shards of the light bulb King Boo had broken; in return the shards sent out millions of little rays of the same light all over the room.
Luigi looked all over the place for even the tiniest hint that could give King Boo away...and he found it.
“There! I see it!” Luigi shouted upon seeing the bit of shadow that was a partial shape of King Boo, which was all thanks to the lights.
“Now—let’s a-flash that stun light!” Luigi commanded, quickly switching the function of his Poltergust nozzle from ordinary flashlight to the one that gave the strange kind of light that was capable of stunning the flashlight-immune ghosts. He immediately directed it toward where King Boo’s shadow was and, soon, all he heard was King Boo’s deafening shriek of pain.
“Got you,” Luigi hissed with joy, somehow enjoying King Boo’s discomfort in a very petulant way.
King Boo was able to finally appear before the duo, his eyes squeezed shut; he was writhing in agony.
When King Boo finally opened his eyes, he saw two vacuum nozzles directed at him left and right.
“You’ve got nowhere to hide, King Boo,” Luigi said.
“We’re gonna get tu in either of these Poltergusts once and for all,” Yoshi added.
King Boo didn’t flinch the least bit; instead he gave a dark smile.
“You two sure make a great team, huh? Well, you’ve always been so goddamn good at fighting together—but let’s see if you’ll be able to handle fighting each other!”
And with that, King Boo shot a dirty look at Yoshi.
Luigi’s eyes widened as he put together King Boo’s words and actions.
“No!” Luigi screamed, but it was too late. With a movement so fast it was only a flash of white, King Boo slammed toward Yoshi, and the green dinosaur was enveloped in a white whirlwind.
“Yoshi!” Luigi shouted for his friend.
“Luigi,” Yoshi choked with shock. “I don’t know what’s happening to—” And his words were cut short por King Boo’s laughter.
Finally the whirlwind subsided and vanished, and there was Yoshi, standing, with his head bent down.
Luigi took small steps toward his friend. “Yoshi...?”
Yoshi looked up, but immediately Luigi knew it wasn’t him. The bright features and expressions the green dinosaur had were erased from his face; all were replaced por the dark eyes and evil smiles that belonged to King Boo.
Luigi staggered back at the horror of what King Boo had done.
Yoshi, smiling a sinister smile, began to speak with a voice that one-hundred percent belonged to King Boo.
“You ready to take on your own friend, Luigi?”
But it was still the same—King Boo was nowhere to be found.
“Come out, tu hell of a con artist!” Luigi seethed as he looked around. He felt ridiculous with the fact that the lack of response made him feel as if he were talking to himself, but it couldn’t be helped—King Boo was a total no-show at the moment.
