The mayor had noticed that weird creatures were appearing in the sewers, & he wanted them gone. Mario, having lost his job as a carpenter, in addition to losing his girlfriend Pauline, was looking for jobs in the newspaper. Just then, Luigi came in & exclaimed, "M-Mario, have you heard about the sewer infestation that the mayor wants gone?" Mario slowly looked up at his younger twin brother. They stared at each other for several minuets. Finally, Mario shouted, "That's-a it, Luigi! We'll-a become-a plumbas!" "W-We?," Luigi asked nervously. Mario grabbed his brother & jumped out the 3rd story window of their parents apartment, landing right into the sewers. The problem was readily apparent to the Mario Brothers: Shellcreepers were going in & out of the pipes at a steady pace. Mario went through the routine one would do when playing Mario Bros., while Luigi just stood there, occasionally stepping out of the way of the Shellcreepers. One by one, the Shellcreepers fell into the sewage, until finally the last one fell, causing Mario to triumphantly yell, "Take-a that!" Mario sat down next to Luigi, noticing as he sat down that Luigi was frowning. "What's-a da matta, Luigi?," he inquired. "I don't like this, Mario!," Luigi replied. Mario knew exactly what Luigi was talking about. He knew that Luigi never was the violent type. "Luigi," Mario began, "We need da money. That's-a da last..." But just then, a Sidestepper almost fell on Luigi's head! "Uah! I'm outta here!," Luigi exclaimed as he crawled backwards, falling off the platform & into a pipe. Mario followed Luigi into the dark, unlit pipe. It took what seemed like hours to get through...

(AN: Thanks for reading the first part of my story! I hope to have a good story at the end of this. I left the identity of the mayor unknown because I plan to have it be a twist. Again, thanks!)
