My first try at a Mario Bros fanfic: Sorry for the realy short first chapter. Maybe just consider it a prologue. Please review!
Luigi groaned as he slowly started regaining his consciousness. Trying to remember what had happened and how he had been knocked out in the first place.
His head hurt and his vision was very blurry. He tried putting a hand to his aching head, and was surprised when he found he couldn't move his arms. With horror, he realized that he was chained to a wall. And suddenly the memories of what happened and why he was there washed over him like a tidal wave.
A distress call from a small settlement out on the borderlands of the Mushroom/Beanbean Kingdom had been received by the castle's communication center.
The princess had dispatched himself and his older twin brother Mario to find out what had happened.
Luigi jolted suddenly, Mario! Where was Mario!? He snapped his head around looking right and left, searching for any sign of his brother. But his vision was still too blurred to make anything out. He slumped and continued recalling the events that had lead up to the present.
Upon their arrival, they had found the village devoid of any signs of life, so they decided to make a building-by-building search for the townspeople and any enemies that might be hiding nearby. Upon entering a room in one of the buildings the two doors had slammed shut behind and front of them locking them inside. Sleeping gas had then started seeping in around them through vents.
Mario had called to him to hold his breath, but it was too late, he had already begun to succumb to the effects of the gas.
Cursing his weakness, Luigi shook his head violently, trying to chase the blurriness from his eyes. When his vision finally cleared, he was greeted with awful sight.
His older brother was chained to the wall opposite of himself, his appearance made the younger brother's heart drop into his stomach. Mario was bruised and disheveled, hanging limply in his bonds. But what frightened Luigi the most, was the cloudy and vacant look in the plumber's eyes.
"Mario! What did they do to you!?" Luigi nearly shouted.
Silence.
Panic spread rapidly in Luigi's mind when there was no reaction to his question. "o-oh Dios...big bro, p-please say something...a-anything...!" Luigi stammered fearfully.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, a weak and somewhat slurred voice replied "i-i'm...ok...weegie...s-suh-sorry I c-couldn't ...protect..." *coughs*
His sentence was cut off by a small coughing fit.
"shh..Its okay Bro." Luigi consoled him, wishing badly to give him a comforting embrace. "But what happened to you?"
"The gas just wasn't enough for him." Luigi just about jumped out of his skin when an unfamiliar voice sounded from across the room. "We had to give him a little something extra...no wonder they call him 'Super Mario'."
Said a man standing on the other side of the bars of their cell.
"Who are you!?" Luigi shouted.
