Since the original Ongoing Story died a while ago (and to be honest, it's probably my fault), I decided to start up a new one. Same thing as before: each person chooses one of the previous three options and writes a few more sentences. It starts here:
Luigi was out walking one day. He was super-bored ever since Mario went on some new adventure (which Luigi predicted to be about two-thirds done by now). But he had a new idea, one that could keep him occupied until Mario came back.
A: He would pull a prank on Waluigi and try to frame someone else for it.
B: He would start watching hockey games. (Mario was a big Maple Shrooms fan, but Luigi didn't care much.)
C: He would host a party.

I would have posted, but I didn't think it was right to make a decision when I didn't know much about the Tri Star and waited for someone else to post...no one did.
But I'm glad that this is started up again. Hopefully it'll encourage people to stay active.
Anyway...
Luigi decided to pull a prank on Waluigi. "For too long has that jerk been antagonizing me," he said to himself, "and now it's time for a little revenge."
Now, Luigi generally wasn't the one to hold a grudge, but his anger kept boiling up until it was about to explode. It's always the quiet ones...
Luigi decided that it was best to dig a hole in front of Waluigi's house and cover it with brush so that Waluigi would be unsuspecting. He would also put a coin on top...Waluigi was a sucker for cash. Racing out to see it, he would fall into the hole. This would be when Waluigi accidently triggers a switch that drops a giant Bob-omb onto him. Naturally, with his springy body, he would just bounce it back up, but Luigi would come prepared. He would set up an electromagnet to catch the bomb as it flew out of the hole. The electromagnet would be attached to a crane that Luigi would operate, and he would use it to crush Waluigi's house like a wrecking ball. The Bob-omb would then explode, creating a huge crater and send Waluigi flying, hopefully into some Pirahna Plant patch that inevitably grew by his house. It was such a convaluted plan that Luigi was sure it would work.
Luigi made a discovery, though. He had absolutely no idea where Waluigi lived! "Hm...that's a problem," he said, "I better go to...
A. E. Gadd's house, so he could build such a contraption."
B. Wario's Castle, I'll bet he knows where he lives."
C. the pasta house. I'm starving!"

B. Wario's Castle, I'll bet he knows where he lives.
And so Luigi set out for Wario's Castle, and along the way he had many adventures, most of them involving him mercilessly slaughtering enemies with fireballs. Eventually his path lead him into a deep forest, which was strange considering Wario's Castle was supposed to be on Kitchen Island. As soon as Luigi realized this he attempted to leave, but he couldn't find the exit. Soon he was forced to admit he was helplessly lost. He was about to give up when he saw something that made him shake with terror.
A: A hoard of rabid Yoshis
B: The universes greatest villains coming out of a portal
C: Jigglypuff

A hoard of rabid Yoshis! Sure, they were only "rabid" in the sense that they had gone a little insane because of being lost in the forest without food. They'd regain their marbles after a good meal. But for now, they were still dangerous. Luigi, having no idea how to deal with a single Yoshi (let alone dozens), dove down and hid/cowered in a clump of grass. The grass made a good hiding spot, and after fifteen minutes, Luigi decided to check on the situation. He poked his head out of the grass...
A: And saw a Boo!
B: And sneezed!
C: And hit his head on something.

B. And sneezed!
Immediately Yoshis sprung out from behind bushes and hit him with tranqualizer seeds. Luigi was knocked out cold.
After several hours, Luigi came to. He studied his surroundings. He was in some kind of tribal village, with Yoshis all around him. His eyes were still a little blurry, but he decided to get up from the bed he was on. Soon after, though, he heard voices approaching and immediately got back on the bed and faked that he was asleep.
"--the man just arrived. He's in there..." said a voice.
A rather old and fat Yoshi decorated with feathers and war paint approached.
"Hmm...yes..." said the Yoshi, "he'll make a fine...
A. husband for my daughter."
B. sacrifice to the gods."
C. warrior to defend our people against the vile Egg-Shooter Tribe."

"...warrior to defend our people against the vile Egg-Shooter Tribe."
If Luigi were having a conversation with the Yoshi, his eyebrow would have gone up. He managed to remain still.
"I don't know about that, chief," said the first voice. "We found him hiding in a bush when they went by. Could be because we stole their fruit to make up for last week's attack, but they looked pretty vicious today."
A third Yoshi piped up. "Yar. They's a-lookin' roighty wackoed in the trove case, matydudes. There's over soix 'n' two-thirdsies of 'em!"
"Who's this?" asked the chief.
"This? He's Markoshi," said the original voice. "He has an accent as thick as an Egg-Shooter's skull, and you have to multiply everything he says by three, but he's a superb healer."
At this, point, Luigi decided to...
A: Pretend to wake up so he could join the conversation.
B: Act brave (heh) and find out what exactly's going on.
C: Stay down and listen more.

A. Pretend to wake up so he could join the conversation.
Luigi faked a yawn.
"What...? Where am I?" Luigi asked as convincingly as possible.
"My boy, you are at Yoshi Picchu, center of the Yoshi Tribe, just off the side of Parsley Woods," said the cheif.
"Oh really? I--" Luigi started before the cheif interrupted him.
"What were you doing near our society? Did you come to steal our gold? You do look a tad like that Wario fellow..."
"What? No! I just came to--"
"Excellent!" the cheif interrupted again, "then you'll help protect our village!"
"Now hold on a minute here--"
"Markoshi, is it? I'm still a bit suspicious of you, so to prove your loyalty to the Yoshi Tribe, please escort this man...what was your name?"
"Luigi...it's Luigi."
"Please escort Luigi Itsluigi to the training grounds to begin,"
"But..." said Luigi, but Markoshi grabbed him before he could continue.
Luigi could hear traces of their voices as he was dragged away.
"He does look a tad scrawny, cheif..."
"Don't worry, he'll do fine. And even if he fails, he will make an excellent decoy..."
Luigi took the time while being dragged to study the area. Originally, he thought that it was just a few teepees scattered here and there. He was wrong, because after looking farther, he saw huge stone temples decorated with stone Yoshi heads, presumably of past cheifs. He was being taken to one of the larger ones, with a decently sized army of Yoshis exercising. Markoshi threw Luigi in front of the war cheif and started talking with him.
"So this is the 'secret weapon,' then? Hmm...very well. Proceed," he said.
"Aye, cap'n. I'll see yeh in the galley 'round 2:00 fer supper," Markoshi said as he left.
It was then when Luigi noticed how oddly cylindrical Markoshi's nose was.
"Ha ha!" laughed the general, "not much to look at, are you, boy? That's fine. I've made men out of scrawnier wimps than you. Just remember one thing, boy. This ain't no summer camp. You're at the toughest, most grueling training facility this side of the Stove Canyon. Don't be expectin' to see any breaks here. Whenever you aren't sleepin' or eatin', you'd best be workin' those muscles or we'll have a problem. Understand?"
Luigi nodded nervously.
"Great, you're quick to get the point...more than what can be said about most of these pushovers," the general said as he waved his hand towards his troops. They growled but continued exercising.
"Now, you're probably beat gettin' here an' all, so I'll let you off easy this one time. So get to your barracks and I'll see you at 0500 hours. Move!" he commanded. Luigi shakily obeyed.
Luigi was at a loss at what to do. He couldn't fight, but it might be worse to risk an escape. At last, he decided it was best to...
A. stay there and try not to anger the general.
B. devise a plan to escape.
C. cry like a little baby and hope some miracle happens.

...devise a plan to escape. It wasn't going to be easy, since the barracks - a wooden cabin holding 5 men apiece - were placed in a populated(-ish) area. But Luigi knew he would be an utter failure at this army stuff (he couldn't even do a single push-up). So escape it was.
After a few hours of thinking, Luigi had a plan. He would throw a spare Kart Mushroom into the nearby fire pit - if there was even an ember still lit, the shroom would explode. With the distraction, he would then run out the barracks' back door and hope there was a ? Block containing a suit nearby. However, the plan would have to be done at night, and the night brings ghosts.
However, the plan never got off the ground. A few hours before midnight, Luigi heard a lot of commotion outside. Then came the sounds of Yoshi-based violence, followed by an "ALL TROOPS REPORT!" Predicting this would be an Egg-Shooter attack, Luigi decided to...
A: Escape now.
B: Get out there and attack - he might be able to pull a Negative Zone out of his current emotional state.
C: Panic.

Get out there and attack.
Luigi knew that it was no use trying to run away now, because with the Egg-Shooters running rampant, the troops were ever vigilant and would probably shoot him if he were to escape. He didn't have a whole lot of energy, but luckily he came prepared. He smashed open a Smash Ball and his eyes began to glow. He focused all of his energy and then released.
Everyone around immediately froze and started sleeping. Luigi frantically Fire Jump Punched as many of the enemy as he could, until there was only one left. Luigi looked at it closely. It looked oddly familiar. However, he grew so distracted that the Negative Zone disappeared. Looking at the creature within the normal spectrum, Luigi immediately recognized him. He woke up.
"Markoshi?" asked Luigi.
"Hm...oh yeah...that's me...right? Uhh..." said the creature.
"But you're not a Yoshi at all!" accused Luigi. Markoshi shook his head.
"Oh crud. The disguise musta fallen off. Best be gettin' back to the base then. See ya later, punk," Markoshi said as he started walking away.
"You're not going anywhere!"
"Uh, yeah I am. And for disobeying the great Markirdo, top spy of the Egg-Shooter Tribe, you get a free gift, courtesy of the emperor," said Markirdo.
Markirdo's snout grew intensly large. There was no mistaking it...this was going to hurt.
"ATOMIC FIREBALL!!!" yelled Markirdo.
He released. A huge fireball the size of a small town started flew out and started going up and up and then slowly came crashing down.
"You Yoshis are more useful to us alive, so I'll give you a bit of time to figure that little pickle out. In the meantime, cheerio!" Markirdo said before laughing and disappearing.
Luigi was caught up in a dilema. How was he going to stop that thing? Luigi gave it his all and...
A. used an Ice Flower and started pelting the fireball.
B. used a Stop Watch and freeze it in the air. Hopefully it would rain soon.
C. ran like the dickens.

...used a Stop Watch and froze it in the air. Hopefully it would rain soon, before the Stop Watch timed out. There were a group of dark clouds upwind.
Yoshi Picchu ran up to Luigi. "Can you explain what's going on here?"
Somewhat breathless, Luigi responded. "The...Egg-Shooters attacked...that-a Markoshi was...a Birdo spy-a...he shot that-a massive fireball...I used a Stop Watch, don't-a know...how long it can last..."
"Well then." The chief pulled out some sort of woodwind instrument and a small bottle. "Thank you for saving our village. We will get together now and perform a Rain Dance. You must go to the Egg-Shooter tribe and plant these pills (holds out bottle) into a place where healers or medics can find them. They hold the antidote to the judgement-impairing virus that's affected them."
Upon hearing this expository dialogue, Luigi...
A: Said "Yes, sir!" and got to work.
B: Nervously explained that he didn't want anything to do with this.
C: Sneezed.

(Just so you know, if you look back, I made Yoshi Picchu the name of the city...but I'll ignore that and say it was a random member of the Yoshi Tribe.)
...nervously explained that he didn't want anything to do with this.
"Fine," said the cheif, "actually, that works out better for us. The Pirahna Plants have been getting awfully hungry..."
"On second thought, let's-a go!" said Luigi.
"Splendid!" said the cheif, "Just watch out...the base is heavily guarded."
"I'll keep that in mind," said Luigi.
In fact, that was the only thing he could keep in mind. Any second, he thought, a particularly explosive egg could come flying in between his eyes.
Luigi traversed through the many dangers of the jungle. Wild Gooms popped up everywhere. Luigi shooed them off. A Dropper almost fell on his head, but he swiftly dodged. He even encountered a few ghosts, but luckily, they scared him right to the Egg-Shooter Tribe.
Luigi read a sign.
"This way to Birdochitlan, home of the great Egg-Shooter Tribe. Come with official business or be shot. Outsiders, solicitors, and especially Yoshis ARE NOT WELCOME. Nice..." said Luigi.
The Yoshi cheif was right. This city was nearly impenatrable. There were Birdos stationed everywhere. Luigi had nowhere to turn. But then, he came up with a plan. He decided to...
A. dig a hole to the center of the city.
B. dress up as a Birdo in hopes of being granted entry.
C. go around the back...there could be less troops there.

B. dress up as a Birdo in hopes of being granted entry.
Luigi snuck up on a Birdo and ripped its skin off and then put it on him. "Gross" Luigi said as he felt the Birdo's esophagus. Then he slowly walked up to the guards and asked for entry put as he walked inside the costume slid off. Now Luigi...
A.Ran.
B.Killed the guards.
C. Tripped because of his untied shoelace.

Please try to keep this E rated, kingkoopa. Those kinds of things don't belong in a Mario game. Anyway...
...tripped because of his untied shoelace. He tried to get up, but everything went dark before he could.
Luigi awoke with a daze. He looked down. He was above a boiling pot of lava!
"That's the one, cheif," said a voice. Luigi looked around. It was Markirdo.
"Fine, fine...just get it over with," said the Birdo cheif impatiently.
Markirdo didn't need to be told twice. He lit a rope, which would slowly burn until it dropped Luigi into the pot. A few Birdos started a tribal dance. Luigi was at a loss, but suddenly, he
A. noticed Wario's plane flying right at them!
B. remembered his Ice Flower in his pocket!
C. began to swing around wildly!

Sorry about the T rateedness anyway ...
B. Remembered the Ice Flower in his pocket
He waited until the rope was completely burned and then he used the Ice Flower. He then ran out of there as fast as he could and found the exit to those woods. So now he began to search for Waluigi's house but then...
A. He saw Bowser's castle
B. He remembered that Mario sent him a text message
C. Wario threw a bomb at him

...Wario threw a bomb at him! It was easy to dodge, but Wario laughed anyway.
Luigi straightened his cap. "Go away, Wario," he said in his bravest voice.
"Why should I?" Wario scratched his face. "You are-a in the Garlic Subuniverse. This is-a MY turf."
Luigi hadn't thought about crossing the border back when he drew up his prank.
"What are-a you doin' here, anyway?" asked the fat one. "Your-a brother got lost again?"
Shaking in his shoes, Luigi threw out the best insult he could think of:
A: "Shut up! You're producing greenhouse gases!"
B: "Shut up and recude your emissions!"
C: "Go away before your-a gravity pulls my palm to your-a face!"

"Go away before your-a gravity pulls my palm to your-a face!"
Wario just laughed.
"Reducing to-a insults, are we? How typical. Just-a like your cowardly self. Come over here and fight-a like a man!"
Wario pounded his chest and looked menacing. Luigi turned pure white.
"I don't-a have a prayer," Luigi said to himself.
And indeed, he probably didn't. Even if Luigi hadn't just been through an ordeal, Wario would still pound him into next week. He IS nearly invincible, after all.
"What, scared? Fine, I'll throw the first blow!" Wario said as he did his signature charge attack towards Luigi.
Luigi panicked. He looked all around him. Then, he spotted just what he needed, a
A) Mr. Wario's Gold Statue...perfect to smack Wario over the head with!
B) a rock...if he could time it perfectly, it might just knock Wario out!
C. a pit...perfect for a cartoon style stepside dodge!

C. a pit...perfect for a cartoon style stepside dodge!
Luigi moved out of the way at the last second, and because of that Wario fell into the pit. "Where is Waluigi's house" asked Luigi. Wario just laughed. So Luigi threw 5 lit Bob-oms down into the pit. Wario quickly told Luigi that Waluigi's house was right through the Pirhana Plant fields. So Luigi...
A. Stole Wario's plane to get there faster
B. He decided to go on foot
C. He asked a nice Yoshi to take him there.
