Mario was walking through a field with his younger brother Luigi as they simply talked to each other. The autumn leaves making the hypnotic crunching noises under their feet as they joked with each other after a great day full of sports. The setting was almost too good to be true. Suddenly the wind began to pick up around them; so far Luigi was feeling normal about the situation and wasn’t running away. But as soon as thunder could be heard he fell onto the ground shaking only to be comforted by his shorter yet older brother. Mario shook his head as he had a good idea that this was just a simple storm, but that idea was soon scratched as the wind began to pick up even more. Mario could feel himself sliding along the ground and began to panic, he fell to his knees and began to grab hold of whatever he could find. As the winds began to pick up more and more, a small black hole of nothingness began to open up near Mario and began to grow. Mario held on for dear life as he shouted, “Mama mia!” Eventually the wind was too strong for the red plumber and he began to slip towards the portal as he shouted in terror. Much to his surprize he felt his arm be tugged and he looked up to see his cowardly brother holding onto him. The winds were almost too strong for Luigi to handle but he was smart enough to grab onto a nearby tree as he held his brother’s hand. Mario looked up and was ready to sigh with relief but soon resumed his panic as he felt his brother’s glove slip. Luigi shouted his brother’s name loudly as he watched his red wearing brother be sucked into a void of emptiness. Luigi closed his eyes as he knew he was going to regret his idea, he then let go of the tree and let himself slide towards his brother. Luigi was only a hair away from his brother before the void sucked Mario in and closed. Leaving Luigi sitting in the middle of the field, wondering what had happened and looking at the small burning crater that was left behind.
