Mario and Luigi: Falling Leaves

by Stuffwell359

Mario and Luigi find themselves in another huge adventure. Falling through a trap is not exactly the best way to start it off, but getting attacked by Lakitus on their break isn't either. Bowser hasn't attacked in a long time, why did he decide to attack now? Of all the other times, he chose on their break. Join Mario and Luigi on their next greatest adventure!

AN: Hi everyone! Here I am again with a new story. Sorry about not uploading a story in a while, I had to take some time off you know?

Chapter 1

Mario and Luigi are the world's most famous heroes. We join our heroes in the Mushroom Meadows, where they are taking a relaxing walk around the fields. The trees started to change color due to it being fall season. The meadow seemed peaceful for the most part, but the bros still felt on edge. The leaves on the cold, hard ground crunched as the bros' feet stepped on them. Mario found the peace somewhat relaxing, his eyes stared at ground before them. "Luigi, it feels nice to have a break from Bowser for awhile." Mario stated.

"It gives me a lot of time to recharge after our last battle with Bowser." Luigi replied.

Mario nodded, "That last battle was awful...you almost died Luigi..."

"I know, but at least you were there to protect me, right bro?" Luigi said this with a smile on his face.

Mario chuckled a little and replied,"Yeah, I will always protect you as long as you don't die too much. Haha."

Luigi gave out a laugh as well,"Hey! I don't die that much! In fact, I saw you- Mario! Look out!" Luigi pushed Mario out of the way. A red ball with spikes came flying towards the Mario bros. Mario fell to the ground, his back screamed in pain as it hit the ground hard. Luigi took the hit for Mario, the red, spiked ball threw him to the ground along with Mario.

Mario looked at his brother on the ground and said, "Luigi! Get up! We gotta run!" Mario's voice rang in Luigi's ears as he slowly got up. Luigi's legs ran on their own, following the red plumber in front of them. Red, spiked balls were flying in every direction, the bros were having trouble avoiding them all. The path of trees sermed to be reaching an end as the bros kept running from the Lakitus throwing the spinies. They were almost out, so close, when both of them fell through the ground underneath a pile of leaves. A trap was set there, a pile of leaves hiding a hole to fall through. Screams echoed from the hole. Mario & Luigi fell through a grey emptiness that lasted forever, at least to them it did. Finally, the bros reached the ground. Their landing wasn't the greatest, both of the bros landed on the ground back first. Mario was the first to assess the situation, he looked at Luigi and said, "Where are we Luigi?" He asked the green plumber who landed head first and had his head stuck in the hard ground. Mario quickly pulled him out. "You ok, Weegee?" Mario asked with concern.

Luigi wiped some dirt and grime off of his usually bright, blue overalls and replied,"From the looks of it, I think its an underground tunnel." Luigi scanned the area some more," Let's look around a little, maybe we'll find something."

"Good idea" Mario replied, already heading towards the one way path through the dark, cold tunnel.

AN: What do you guys think? Suspense is killing you now I bet. You'll just have to wait and see what happens in the strange cave/tunnel next time. See ya!(Sorry its short, I'll make the next chapter a little bit longer)
