Mario's brother, Luigi, was a tall, nervous man who was always looking around, as if he was in some kind of danger. After he told me the story about him and his friends I can understand why. Mario, Donkey Kong, Link, Samus, Yoshi, Kirby, Fox, Pikachu, Luigi, Ness, Captain Falcon and Jigglypuff, were all having a smash bros night out. They had just 12 members at that point and were taking in two more: Marth and Roy.

One night in January, just about this time of year, the 12 of them took Marth and Roy out into the countryside for their initiation. They took them to an old deserted house where two young men had been murdered recently. Their murderer was still at large. They gave Roy a lighted candle and told him to go up to the third floor.

Captain Falcon: "Stay up there for an hour."

Samus: "Then come back down. Don't speak. Don't make any noise."

Fox: "If your candle goes out, carry-on in the dark."

From were they're standing, they could see the light from Roy's candle moving up the stairs to the second floor, then to the third. But when he got to the third floor, his candle went out. The smash gang guess that he had come to a drafty corner, and the wind blew it out. But when an hour went by and he didn't come down, they weren't so sure. The smash gang waited for 15 minutes and got more and more worried. So they sent Marth up after him. When Marth got to the third floor, his candle also went out. Again, the smash gang waited for 10 minutes then 20 minutes still no sign of either of them.

Mario: "Come on down !"

Said Mario, they didn't answer.

Luigi: "We should go up there and find them."

Link: "Yeah, plus it's getting late."

The smash gang armed themselves with flashlights, that Ness was carrying in his backpack, and headed inside the house. They went up the stairs through the living room. The house was quiet and dark as a graveyard. When they got to the second floor, they called out to Marth and Roy, but there was still no answer. When they got to the third floor, they walked into a great big open space like an attic. Marth and Roy weren't there. They found footprints in the dust, that leads to a room on the other side of the attic. The room was also empty. Then Ness noticed something that caught his attention.

Ness: "Hey guys, you better take a look at this."

There was fresh blood on the floor next to the window that was wide open. It was about 25 feet to the ground, but there was no ladder rope insight that they could have used to get down. They search the rest of the house and the land around the house and found nothing. They decided that they were playing a trick on them. They figured that in some way they had escaped through the window and were hiding in the woods. The blood on the floor was to throw them off track. They guess that they'd bump into them in town with a lot of stories and a lot of laughs. But neither of the smash gang have seen Marth or Roy in town. A week has past and still no sight of Marth and Roy, so the smash gang decided to report to the police on what happen that night. The police did an investigation and search. They didn't find anything either, and after several weeks the search ended. No one knows what happened to Marth and Roy.

Luigi: "There isn't much more to tell. The police place a restricted area on that old deserted house. The strangest part came after we gone our separate ways. Some one must have placed a curse on us. Every year since then, around the time of that initiation, one of us has died or gone crazy. I'm the only one left and I'm in pretty good health. But there are times when I feel just a little peculiar. . . ."

AAAAAAAAAAH!
