Chapter 1: The Mansion

This is my first Fanfiction, don't be too rough when reviewing! This chapter is just the Introduction. Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Mario characters.

Mario sipped his drink and peered out the window at the clouds. Suddenly, the plane started shaking. Turbulence. Mario was reminded of how much he hated planes. He would much rather use cannons or even sling-stars to get around which were also conveniently faster than planes.

Mario sighed. Another 3 hours and he would be arriving at Delphino Airstrip. The annual Mario Power Tennis Tournament would be held there this year.

Beep.

Mario gazed up. The seatbelt button had just gone off. Mario never actually had taken off his seatbelt.

"Alright, Ladies and Gentlemen, we have begun our descent. We will be arriving at our destination in 20 minutes. Current temperature is..."

Mario had completely zoned out. 20 minutes? They still had another 3 hours to go. Something was wrong. Mario looked out of the window once again. They were farther down now and he could see the ocean. Just ocean. Mario couldn't see any land nearby. What was happening?

Mario sat in panic for the next 15 minutes and every time he looked out the window there was still no land. They weren't too far above the water at this point and Mario was both confused and scared at the same time. Suddenly, there was a big jolt in the plane. Mario shut his eyes tight, expecting something bad to happen. Mario had been on many planes in his life and it sounded as if the plane was coming to a halt. He cracked an eye open and peered out the window.

Sure enough, they had landed on some sort of narrow runway. It wasn't like the one in Delphino Airstrip. Mario remembered it from last time- it had been large and white. The one they were on now was dark grey and narrow.

"We have successfully landed. I suggest you keep your seat belts on in case of sharp turns or a sudden stop."

Mario waited for the plane to come to a halt. He grabbed his suitcase and got off the plane. This was definitely not Isle Delphino. The air was foggy and the sky was dark. He wasn't sure where he was exactly. Mario made his way through the fog, stopping suddenly when he heard hushed voices. Cautiously, he took a step forward.

"Peach?"

Mario heard a small gasp.

"Mario? Is that you?"

Mario stepped forward and saw that the hushed voices belonged to all of his friends that were competing in the Mario Power Tennis tournament.

"What's going on?", he asked.

"We're not exactly sure. You see, all of our planes landed here without explanation. You're the last one to arrive.", Peach responded.

Mario looked around. Peach, Luigi, Daisy, Wario, Yoshi, Waluigi, Toad, Toadette, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, Rosalina, Bowser and Bowser Jr were standing there. He was the last one.

This whole thing made no sense. A huge purple limo pulled up. It had many scratches on it and looked very worn.

"Get in.", the driver ordered.

Nobody moved. Daisy turned to the group.

'Should we?' She mouthed.

"I said get in!"

Everyone silently got in. The limo began driving down a bumpy road. It came to a halt in front of a large mansion. Everyone exited the limo, which drove away.

"What is happening...", Yoshi said.

Suddenly, the front doors opened and King Boo floated out.

"Welcome to my mansion! Come in, come in..", he said.

The group walked into the main entrance, with extremely confused looks upon their faces.

"Why are you not in Isle Delphino? There's been a change of plans. You see, there is a murderer in this mansion, and whoever lasts the longest will win a special coin prize..."

Everyone had really disgusted looks on their face.

"Alright, this is really for my own entertainment. I don't really get visitors and I have way too much coins for my own good."

At that, King Boo disappeared, leaving the group alone in a mysterious mansion with a cereal killer.

What does everyone think of this? Who will be stupid enough to go to the bathroom alone? I'm joking. Who will be the first to die? Find out in Chapter 2, coming soon! Please review telling me what you think and if I should continue, etc.
