A/N: This is my first story, it will be a serious mario fic. Please don't be too harsh, i'm only 13.
Warning: Includes mild language, violence, and a major character death.
Disclaimer: I own none of the characters in this story. If I did, the games would be as dark as this story.
NOTE: In this story Mario and Peach are married and mario is the king of the Mushroom Kingdom.
It's always when you think that nothing can go wrong...that everything does, forever changing your life. That's what Mario realized as he watched the battle between the toads and the koopas. As Mario watched he realized another thing. He had failed. Luigi had died at the hands of Bowser. Nothing would ever be right again. He stared down at his enemy with pure hatred. They both knew one of them would die tonight. They just didn't know who yet...
Mario and Luigi had never really been all that close. And when Mario first saved the Mushroom Kingdom from the koopas in the sewers just made things worse. Mario became obsessed with fame and power, and didn't want to share it with anyone, including his brother.
Luigi was never just "Luigi". He was always "Mario's Little Brother" or "Green Dude with Mustache". But Luigi never seemed to care, and just excepted things as they were. Or at least that's what everyone thought...
Luigi always hated being "Player Two". Whenever Luigi saved Mario, he would say thank you by simply saying, "Thank you." Whenever Mario saved Peach, he would be thanked with a huge-ass cake with his ugly face on it. And of course he would eat the whole damn thing in one sitting. Luigi always thought Mario was a pig, but he kept his mouth shut about it. He tried not to think about it, but it always lingered in the back of his mind. Mario was more of a hero than he would ever be.
Mario never got over Luigi's death. It still haunts his dreams as he barely clings to whats left of his sanity. He declared war against the koopas a few days later. Ten months has passed since his brother's death, and he planned to make Bowser pay...
A/N: The next chapter will include the beginning of the war and the death of Luigi.
