Mario walked along the dark, smelly tunnels of the sewers. He moved his flashlight at random places, not finding any sort of monsters. But the Italian heard something behind him, and stopped. Slosh went the water, slowly getting louder and surely nearer. With a quick reflex Mario turned around threw his fist at the unknown creature, seeing it's shadow fall to the shallow water. Mario pointed his flashlight at the being to find out it was…………Luigi?
"Luigi?" Mario said in confusion "what are you doing here?" "I'd thought…ow……I could help you out" said a bruised Luigi, standing up dripping off sewage. "Well, for now there isn't anything to help out against" the man red replied "except maybe the stench."
The two brothers continued along, finding nothing of interest for ten minutes. But then Mario's flashlight went out! "Mama mia" sighed the fat red man "I knew I should have gotten batteries." More minutes passed by as Mario and Luigi went further and further into the underground, stilling not finding anything. "Hey Mario, do you smell something burning?" Luigi asked. "I think I do" answered Mario "but it's kind of hard do to all of the other smells I'm smelling." At that moment a swirling green flame hovered by, startling the Italians. "W-W-WHAT IS THAT!" shouted Luigi. The flame, as if it was surprised, quickly fled into a pipeline. With there only chance of anything to do, the two followed.
At the end of the pipe came a faint light. The brothers came out of the pipe, and noticed their location. It was a large room, three stories tall at least. Brick flooring was surround by more sewer water, coming from the pipes against the walls. There were also metal walkways, although they looked like they've seen much better days. The Mario brothers jumped out of the pipe they were in, and saw something completely strange. Standing in mid-air was a blue square-shaped….thing with the word POW on it. "Do you think that's what the government is hiding" Luigi wondered. "Well it doesn't look very impressive" said Mario "I mean, sure, it's defying the law of gravity, but come on! Where's the Area 51 and the cloning machines and stuff?"
Before Luigi could reply, a loud banging came from one the pipes. The red and green wearing brothers turned their heads, hearing growling and more banging. Out of the pipe came a turtle, a BIG turtle with a red shell with spikes on it. The turtle looked the Italians and slowly walked towards them. With fear on the mind, Luigi picked up the toolbox Mario brought along and threw at the mutant. The turtle tipped over, and the toolbox fell into the water.
"What were you thinking!" Mario yelled at his brother "all our stuff was in there!" "S-sorry" spoke the tall frighten man "b-but at least we stopped one monster, right?" The turtle started to get agitated in it's current condition, and rocked back and forth to get its feet on the ground. As it got back up, it's skin and shell turned blue. The turtle growled louder than before and ran at the brothers. Mario and Luigi in response ran away. Since there was no exit, all three of them ended up running in circles. The prey, knowing they couldn't do this forever, instinctively jumped on a metal walkway. Then they realized what they done.
"Luigi, did we just jump like ten feet in the air?" asked Mario. "I think we did" answered Luigi "I think after this we should join the NBA or something." The turtle though had other plans. Making a more different growl, another growl came from one of the pipes. Another red spiked turtle crawled out of the pipes, and landed on the highest metal walkway. "I think I got an idea" Mario said to his brother. The fatter and shorter man jumped and punched the bottom of the walkway the red turtle was moving on. The impact of the fist caused the walkways to tip over the turtle. Mario then jumped on the platform and kicked the turtle into the water.
His brother Luigi cheered and the blue turtle grumbled. Out from the pipes came a giant red crab and a creature that looked like a fly. The crab skittered to Mario, and the fly attempted to get Luigi, but it's wings seemed too weak for such a heavy thing. The Italian Luigi, hoping his plan would work, leaped and punched the walkway underneath the crab. All it did was make it madder, and was nearing closer to the man in red. The taller man squeaked in fear and threw another punch, this time knocking the crab over and getting kick away by Mario. But more monsters came out of the pipe.
For who knows how long, Mario and Luigi fought against turtles, crabs, flies, fireballs, and sliding icicles. "There's…too many….of them" Mario gasped for breath, jumping over a crab. "It was nice knowing you bro" Luigi sobbed, knocking over another fly. The red capped mustached man looked at the floating block once again, thinking of something. He kicked aside a fly, jumped over two turtles, ducked under a fireball, slid across a frozen walkway made by an icicle, and landed near the block. With another punch, despite it aching after many contacts with the walkways, Mario hit the POW block. In a instant a seismic wave knock everyone over. Mario and Luigi stood up quickly, unlike the mutants. "Now what?" Luigi said wiping the tears of his face. Mario looked at one promising pipe and spoke "in there!" The two jumped into it, leaving behind them angry blue colored monsters behind them.
