"So, let's a-have a quick rundown on what I taught you, Yoshi," Luigi said, his voice sounding somehow strained due to the straight hours of endless ghost-busting lecturing.
Yoshi grinned. "Okay, you ask, I'll answer."
"Gather up your ghost-busting weapon."
Yoshi took the twigs and leaves he'd gotten together to make the dud weapon. "Got it."
"Where's the flashlight?"
"Right where the nozzle is."
"A-what about the vacuum?"
"Let's see...Oh yeah, also where the nozzle is."
"How do you activate between the flashlight and the vacuum?"
"Easy—you flick the switch to the right"—Yoshi gestured to the side where the switch could actually be—"to activate the flashlight function. To activate the vacuum function, you push the button here"—he turned to the side that was parallel to his right hand—"and hold down the trigger"—he squeezed a side of the nozzle—"and aim at the ghost to reel it in."
Luigi's shoulder's shook. His mouth was pressed tight, like he was trying hard not to laugh.
"What?" Yoshi demanded.
"Sorry, my friend, but you're wrong."
"What?!"
"You're a-pushing the wrong button, pal. This"—he pointed to another position on the side of Yoshi's make-believe ghost vacuum—"is where the vacuum function should be activated."
"Oh...?"
"Now, you hold down the trigger like a-this"—Luigi took hold of Yoshi's hand to demonstrate the proper way—"then you a-have to aim it at your target."
"Then release the trigger, all while holding down the button, is that right?"
"That's a-right!" Luigi approved.
"Wow, I never realized how hard it is to kick ghostly butt, pal," Yoshi chuckled.
Luigi made a face.
"Ah, I see you boys are done?"
Both Luigi and Yoshi turned around to see that it was Professor E. Gadd again; he had a weird expression on his face.
"A-what is it, Professor?" Luigi asked.
"I asked first, young man," the professor reminded.
"Yeah, we're done—Luigi practically told me the basics," Yoshi answered.
"Good—just in time; I was just about to have you boys come with me to my lab."
"A-what for?"
Professor E. Gadd waved off Luigi's question, somehow impatient. "Just come with me."
Luigi and Yoshi arrived in the lab, which was nearby the mansion. Inside, it was full of all sorts of weird gadgets, gizmos, and different kinds and types of technological what-so's.
"Weird stuff," Yoshi commented once.
"Now," Luigi pressed on the question the professor had waved off earlier, "what did you a-want us here for?"
"I've just given the Poltergust 3000 an upgrade."
Luigi's eyes looked like they could just pop out of their sockets. "A-what?!"
"You heard me right, my boy—apparently it seems flashlights aren't enough to stun some of the ghosts there anymore. That's why I need to give your ghost-busting weapon a major makeover."
"Wow, a-really?" Luigi was practically jumping for joy right now.
"Yes, and...your green friend beside you will be getting his own weapon, too."
Now it was Yoshi who looked like his eyes could just pop out their sockets. "Uh...me...?"
"Exactly—who else?"
"Wow, that's, um, nice of you, Professor...," Yoshi mumbled, surprised that the professor had been busy the whole time making him a weapon to beat the bad guys, too.
"Where are the weapons?" Luigi asked eagerly.
"Right here," the professor said as he walked toward the darkest corner of the lab and pulled out two heavy-looking things which looked like a cross-breed between a backpack and a vacuum cleaner. Both were red; the first one looked common yet shinier, like it was recently taken out from a shop; the second one was smaller, and the shiny seal from the first one was replaced by a seal that looked just like a Yoshi egg. The nozzle was shaped just like a half-open Yoshi egg as well.
It was easy to tell which one was for either one of the two.
"Wow, Professor, I...I don't know what to say," Yoshi stuttered.
"Just say you two will do the job getting rid of all this paranormal activity going on in the mansion, because that's all I want to hear," the professor replied.
"Sure we will," Yoshi replied confidently.
"Let's a-go, Yoshi," Luigi said—he already had the Poltergust 3000 strapped onto his back.
Yoshi jumped a little in surprise, then he smiled—just earlier Luigi was shaking like crazy with the idea that they were going to head in the mansion and beat some ghosts up. But after the professor mentioned new weapons and upgrades...
"Yoshi," Luigi urged.
"Okay, I'm coming," Yoshi laughed at Luigi's sudden eagerness and strapped the smaller vacuum—the one that was his—and followed Luigi's lead.
Well, it was a good thing to have Luigi all pumped up and ready to fight.
"Good luck, boys," the professor said as the duo made their way out of the lab.
"Don't worry—I'm sure we'll be fine," Luigi replied as he continued to make his way to the mansion.
