[#24 Amnesty] evened odds (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)
Theme: Amnesty #24 - originally prompt #190 - Wish
Title: evened odds
Fandom: Mario & Luigi RPGs - Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (Cackletta Is Not Killed Midgame AU + Fawful is a Witch Trainee AU)
Rating/Warnings: Inherent spoilers due to the aformentioned Cackletta related AU premise, specifically taking place when Cackletta is fought (or rather is meant to be fought) in Woohoo Hooniversity. PG-13 becus Cackletta swears.
Word Count: 726
Summary: Fawful manages to awaken the Beanstar due to him being a child, though his wish ends up having an unexpected effect due to the Beanstar's whim.
Author's Note: Because it's Amnesty Time, I decided to be once again cheeky and make some drabbles related to each other! So my following entries after this will be interconnected. :3 also adoptive Momletta for the win! (also x2 sorry for any silly place names they just are That Way ingame)

All was going well at last, at least, Fawful thought so. The transformed scientists of the Hooniversity keep the red and green finkrats back, and Cackletta is able to set everything up. But.. At the last moment, Fawful puts a hand on his mother’s, keeping her from pressing the button. She raises an eyebrow at him, so he whispers.
“I have a feeling of bad about this, Great Momletta.”
Cackletta leans down to speak, her voice just as hushed. “Fawfie, what’s the matter? We have everything.”
“Not quite,” he replies, and he wiggles as he approaches the heavily guarded Beanstar, lifting his hands out from under his cloak.
In the softest voice he can manage, he makes his wish known.
“Beanstar? I am being Fawful Gerakobittsu. I am wanting to be making a wish with you. There is being a lot Fawful wants for him and the Great Momletta.”
The Beanstar, to Cackletta’s shock and Fawful’s equal curiosity, opens its eyes to Fawful. It’s mild, echoing voice states its intent.
“Little Bean.. Be careful what you wish for. I can’t grant anything from the witch, but you.. It is tricky. You are only a child, after all.”
Fawful doesn’t say anything at first, but he can distantly hear the finkrats come closer, but inside, he too is shocked. Shocked that he still has enough innocence to even be answered to. Still, he clasps his hands in imitation of one of his movies, staring the Beanstar in the eye.
“But Fawful can still be wishing just this once, right?”
The Beanstar begins to glow faintly, and Fawful trembles in place, both cold and scared that the Mario Bros. will burst in and hit his mother or worse. He tries to think of a good way to put his wish, but it occurs to him in the moment..
..that perhaps, his ideal life requires no crime to it. Maybe a little for fun, but..
The small Bean lurches forward, as the sound of a closer door to the room breaking sounds out.
“Please, Beanstar.. I am wishing to have protection of the Great Momletta. I.. I don’t want to be having aloneness.. Don’t let them take my family from me.”
The Beanstar faintly glows some more, shutting its eyes again.
“This might hurt, little Bean.”
Before Fawful can dare to ask the Beanstar what it meant, a beam of pure magic strikes him in his chest, and he cries out in pain as it ripples throughout his small self. His gauntlet, his favorite equipment aside from his Vacuum Helmet, sees its gem crack down the middle as he passes out and falls into Cackletta’s long arms.

Mario and Luigi can feel the strange pulse of magic as they approach the one room in the vast Hooniversity they have yet to search, and the rumble of the impact shakes the building, so the twins take pause, looking up.
“Mario? What was-a that?!”
Mario shakes his head, equally startled and unsure what just happened. So he and Luigi burst into the room, forcing the door’s hinges apart. The Beanstar is still intact, still there, but Fawful is unconscious, sparks of pure magic still rolling over his clothes and his head. Cackletta stands defiantly in front of Fawful, panicked.
“I don’t have time for you assholes!” she growls protectively, not touching the Beanstar or the remote for her Peach Bots behind her, still deactivated and not yet used. “Back off before I fry you!”
Luigi accidentally steps on the remote, and a shrill noise fills the air, forcing Cackletta to clap her hands around her horns, and startling Mario. The Beanstar behind Cackletta turns a bright, angry red, a burst of its magic destroying the floor under it.. but also taking Fawful with it.
“FAWFUL!” Cackletta whips around to face the Mario Bros once she hears the crunch of the crushed remote, immensely furious and even more panicked. “GREENIE, YOU IDIOT!”
The Beanish witch lunges for Luigi, magically charging her claws, but Mario punts her into the hole next with his hammer to protect his brother, sending the witch flying into the darkness.
Cackletta isn’t remotely surprised that the hole lasts as long as it does to fall through, even transforming into her bat form, and so she glides down toward the basement in search of Fawful despite her hurt state..
