The Mansion in the Forest
Chapter 1
Within a deep dark forest sits an old mansion that has not been lived in for a very long time. The mansion has a sad history; it seems whoever lives or stays inside the mansion are never seen again.
It's a nice sunny day, the sunshine is shining above the Mushroom Kingdom. All the Toads and Toadettes of the Mushroom Kingdom are going about their business enjoying the sun's rays.
Not too far away from the Mushroom Kingdom is a little house that belongs to the heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario and his younger twin brother Luigi. Within the heroes house Luigi is at the dining table; setting up for breakfast.
"Mario!" Luigi shouts to get his brother down. But no sign of him, Luigi sighs and walks to the bottom of the stairs "MARIO!" Luigi shouts louder, when Luigi hears his brother moving he smiles and walks back to the table, placing food on it and sits down to wait for Mario.
Mario comes down fully dressed rubbing his eyes. When Mario reaches the kitchen he sits down still half asleep.
"You're such a heavy sleeper, bro" Luigi says when Mario sits down. Mario looks up at his brother.
"I'm not a morning person either" Mario pointed out as he grabs some toast.
"You get it from Wario" Luigi says quietly into his cup of tea as he is taking a sip.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing" for the rest of the meal there is silence, mostly because Mario is still half asleep.
Once Luigi finishes eating he places his plate in the sink and walks outside to receive the mail. When Luigi gets to the mail box he opens the little door on the mail box and grabs the mail. He starts to flip though the letters, when a logo on one of the letters catches his eye. Luigi brings the letter to the front of the pile to take a better look at it. Luigi just starts to stare at the logo in the corner of the letter, after sometime Luigi walks back into the house still looking at the letter.
"What you looking at bro?" Mario asks seeing Luigi as he comes in just looking at the mail he picked up. "A letter" Luigi answers
Mario chuckles "I know it's a letter, bro. What I mean is what does it say?"
Luigi finally looks up from the letter to look at his brother, who is washing up the dishes from breakfast "I've not opened it yet" Luigi says as he places the mail on the tables. Mario dries off his hands and grabs the letter Luigi was just staring at. Mario sees the logo and holds out the letter to Luigi.
"You've got to open it sometime, bro" Luigi sighs and grabs the letter. Luigi takes one last look at the logo which belongs to none other than Professor E. Gadd before he opens the letter. Luigi reads the letter out loud
Dear Luigi
Luigi my boy a mansion has been found not too far from the first mansion ever mansion you investigated. You are properly wondering why I'm informing you about the mansion, well my boy after your last little adventure with collecting the dark moon pieces; I thought you would be the right person for the job. I've put two maps in the envelope that will lead you to the mansion. I've set up a little hut outside the mansion; I'll meet you there, my boy.
PS: Almost forgot. I don't know if King Boo Is behind the and as King Boo has a thing for kidnapping your brother and in prisoning him, I strongly suggest you bring him along.
Professor Evlin Gadd
Once Luigi finishes reading he places the letter down and just stares at nothing. Luigi could feel someone staring at him Luigi turns around to and looks at his brother. When Luigi sees the look on his brother's face, he knows what he is thinking.
"Oh no, no, no" Luigi shouts waving his hands in front of his face.
"Come on Weegee!" Mario begs.
Luigi sighs "Mario…."
"Weegee Professor E. Gadd needs your help"
"Fine, bro" Mario smiles "But your wrong, Professor E. Gadd doesn't need my help"
"What? What do you mean?" Mario asks with a confused look on his face.
"He needs our help" Luigi says putting his arm around Mario's shoulder. "Well we better get a start getting there, bro. It'll be night by the time we get there."
"You're right, bro. We better go now" With that Mario heads to the front door. Luigi quickly grabs the map out which results in the second map and the letter to fall to the floor along with it the rest of the mail and a letter with Princess Peaches logo on it that looked like it had been stuck to another letter. But as Luigi is in a hurry to catch up with his brother he didn't notice.
"Mario wait up, bro. We need to look at the map"
"Sorry bro" Mario stops and waits for his brother to catch up. When Luigi gets to Mario he pulls out the map and starts to read it. Luigi starts to walk while reading the map. Mario gets a bit confused bt soon figures out why Luigi Is walking off, so starts to follow him.
Luigi continues to walk while looking at the map. While Mario looks at their surroundings, their surroundings have changed from lovely green grass and shinning sun to dying grass, tress without one leaf hanging from the branches. Mario looks to the sky, he knows it's around evening but the sky shows no sign of the sun it's just dark clouds filling the whole sky. Mario looks to his left and right there is nothing but trees that no long had any leafs and looks as if they never will. Clearly Mario and Luigi were now deep in a forest.
Mario looks to his brother who is ahead of him still looking at the map. Mario continues to walk following his brother staring at the floor; suddenly Mario hears a voice calling his name. Mario quickly looks up to his brother. Luigi must have felt his brother staring at him as he turns to look at him.
"Something wrong?" Luigi asks when he sees confusion and a tiny bit of worry on his brothers face.
"Just thought I heard my name. That's all" Mario answers as he shakes his head slightly and then starts to smile.
Luigi nods making a note to his self about it. For the rest of the walk Luigi made sure that Mario was right beside him.
The brothers finally get to the mansion. "Whoa!" both brothers say once the lay eyes on the mansion.
"Luigi my boy" Professor E. Gadd says walking up to the brothers. "I thought I heard people out here. Come on in, I'll tell you the full story" Professor E. Gadd says while leading the brothers into the little hut he has set up in the large front yard of the Mansion. Which is very bigger on the inside then it looks on the outside.
When all three of them get into the hut, Professor E. Gadd sits in a chair by a big screen and begins to press buttons. The mansion comes up on to the big screen.
"I better get right to it. This mansion is a bit like the first one you stepped into Luigi, but isn't as this mansion didn't just appear out of nowhere. This mansion has been standing for decades, it has quite the history. I know you properly wondering well if it's been standing for decades why all of sudden am I interested in this mansion. Well I was just working on daily scanning for paranormal activity I saw an area which was giving off huge readings of paranormal activity. And as you guess I followed it which lead me here. I went inside the mansion and explored some of the rooms" Professor E. Gadd pulls out an old journal and a key that unlocks the front door of the mansion and hands it to Luigi.
"This is an old journal that belonged to a resident that living in the mansion. I found it in the dining room. It has much information that will help you." Professor E. Gadd jumps from his chair and walks into another room.
Luigi looks to the journal and turns it to the first page it reads
'The eyes can't see what the ears can hear'
Luigi frowns slightly not understanding what it says. Luigi was about to turn to the second page. But Professor E. Gadd came back into the room, carrying two Poltergusts with him.
"Here you go my boys. You can't go in there without theses, Poltergusts 6000" Both brothers' grabs a Poltergusts 6000.
Professor E. Gadd looks to Luigi. "When I get more information about the mansion I will contact you on" E. Gadd hands Luigi a DS lite that has been modified to help Luigi and Mario. Luigi nods a thank you to E. Gadd. Luigi and E. Gadd look to Mario who is looking at his Poltergust 6000
Professor E. Gadd chuckles "And teach your brother the ropes…..also good luck" With that Professor E. Gadd opens the door and the brothers walk out.
Mario and Luigi walk to the front door of the mansion with their Poltergusts at the ready. Luigi put the key in the door and unlocks it. He shakily puts his hand on the door handle and turns it, then opens the door a bit popping his head though the door.
I don't own any of the Mario characters they belong to Nintendo
Please Review :) it will mean a lot to me.
Also I would like to add that if anyone has caught on with what Luigi means when he said "You get it from Wario" I would like to add I know that Wario, Waluigi, Mario and Luigi are NOT brothers. And that Luigi and Mario are twins and Wario and Waluigi maybe brothers and maybe Mario and Luigi's cousins. Just thought I would say before someone sends a review point out my flaw and giving me a lecture about it. I just like to think of them being brothers :) I find it cute, but if anyone is now thinking "Oh great Wario and Waluigi are going to be OOC and super nice to the Mario bros" Well think again, they will be nasty to the Mario bros like always. But if they do become OOC in a chapter don't worry I'll warn you.
For you guys wondering whos the oldest out of the now four brothers well here is is
Walugi
Wario
Mario
Luigi
I know Waluigi is pictured younger then Wario but I like him being the oldest.
And as all four are the same age I've stuck to that and made them quadruplets. Plus no-one in the Mario universe knows all for of them are brothers they just know that Wario and Waluigi are twins and also Mario and Luigi.
I hope you enjoyed the story :)
