Plumber's Darkness

Chapter 1: The Evil Inside

One lovely afternoon, Mario, the Mushroom Kingdom's greatest plumber and hero, was collecting sticks for a campfire. He and Luigi were camping, and they were going to have a campfire that night and roast marshmallows. The Mario Bros. loved marshmallows, and they say they can't live without them. Well, that's what Luigi says. But that afternoon, Mario's life changed forever…

Mario had just found 1,234 sticks and was about to go back, but then he suddenly saw a figure. The figure looked like Mario, though he wore a white shirt, a black hat and black overalls. Even the M was black! The figure also had a totally black face with red, glowing eyes. "Who are you?" Mario asked, dropping the sticks.

"I am your dark side," the figure explained.

"So, you're-a-me and I'm-a-you? I'm confused," Mario said.

"My name is Dark Mario," the figure told Mario. "I'm the evil version of you."

"Oh," Mario said, finally figuring it out. Then he jumped. "You're my dark side?!? AHH!" He picked up the sticks and ran off. Dark Mario sat down and smiled.

"Run fast, Mario," Dark Mario smirked. "Soon you'll be under MY control!" Then he disappeared.

When Mario got back to the campfire and told Luigi about his evil side talking to him, Luigi shook his head. "You've been-a-eating to many mushrooms," Luigi explained. But then in a few seconds, Mario started gagging. "Nice-a-try, brother!" Luigi laughed. But Mario wasn't joking. Then Mario fell face-first onto the dirt. Luigi jumped, figuring out it was not a joke. He turned Mario onto his back, and saw a black face with red eyes. Luigi screamed. "Eek!" Luigi yelled. "Who are-a-you?" Mario's clothes started ripping and coming off, being replaced by Dark Mario's clothes. It was Dark Mario!

"I am Dark Mario," he said. "And it's too late. Your brother is officially on the dark side! Say good-bye to Mario! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!" Then he walked off, and disappeared. Luigi started crying. Then he stopped.

"I have to-a-warn the princess!" Luigi yelped. Then he ran out of the campsite with his and Mario's suitcase and went back to the Mushroom Kingdom to warn the princess.

Oh-no! Mario has been taken over by evil! What can Luigi do? This calls a new adventure!
