Chapter Text
Amber dragged Mario's unconscious body down into the basement, trying not to make too much noise. She rested Mario gently on the top of the stairs before reaching over him to lock the basement door.
She then took a step back and stared at Mario, lying on the stairs. Amber's heart was pounding at a million beats per second. She could feel it pumping out of her chest. She could barely contain herself.
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God... Amber thought as she stood there, shaking uncontrollably. I can't believe I actually managed to successfully subdue both of the Mario Brothers! Oh fuck. I can't believe it...
Amber could barely control her heavy breathing. She was nearly on the verge of hyperventilating. On top of that, little droplets of sweat poured down the sides of her face. The adrenaline rush was simply too much for her to handle in that moment.
Amber sat down on one of the steps below her as she placed a hand on her chest and tried to calm herself down by taking deep breaths. After roughly two minutes, she finally managed to calm her breathing and her heart rate returned back to normal. She reached up and wiped some of the sweat off of her forehead. She then got back up and carried her way back down the stairs.
Once she reached the bottom step she saw that everything was exactly how she left it. Luigi was still strapped to the board, only his head was facing down to the floor and his good eye was closed.
"Hm. Must've passed out from the pain," Amber mumbled quietly to herself. "Anything to get him to shut up for once."
Amber then walked over to the laptop only to realize she had left the red room stream still running when she headed upstairs earlier.
"Dammit, why didn't I remember to shut this off?" Amber muttered as she slammed the laptop shut, making sure to not be within the camera’s view as she didn’t have the mask on. She then moved the laptop from the stand and over to the table.
"Amber... P-please..."
Amber was suddenly caught off guard by the sound of a very hoarse and weak voice calling to her. Since she and Luigi were the only ones in that basement while Mario was passed out at the top of the stairs, it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out whose voice it was. Amber turned back to face Luigi and saw his good eye was now open, even though he was still staring down to the floor. There were also tears rolling down his face.
"Please... J-Just let me g-go... I wanna s-see my b-brother again... I... I really m-miss him..." Luigi sobbed, his voice cracking.
Amber couldn't do anything but stand there. It was almost like time suddenly stood completely still. Of all the men she had held hostage and tortured, that one instant of Luigi saying something contained some of the most genuine pain that had ever come from anyone she had ever kidnapped and held captive in that basement.
Amber almost felt genuinely bad for him for a brief second before snapping out of it. She then walked over to Luigi and grabbed his cheeks with her hand, earning her a small wince in pain from her victim. She pulled Luigi's face up so he was looking her in the eyes.
"Tell you what? You be a good boy and get back in your cage and I'll see what we can do about your brother," Amber coaxed gently.
"Amber... Please... I j-just wanna g-go h-h-home..." Luigi muttered as his warm tears continued to fall down his face.
Amber just stood there for a brief minute before she let Luigi's face go. She then undid the straps that were holding him down to the table, causing the poor Italian man to collapse to the ground with a loud thud, causing him to groan in pain.
"P-Please... D-Don't drag me... Let me g-get to my cage myself..." Luigi quietly mumbled. "I p-promise I won't try to escape..."
Amber just stood there and thought about it for a minute.
"Hm. Okay." She finally agreed, shrugging.
Luigi struggled to get himself up onto his knees as his body was still in immense pain. The salt and lemon juice still stung his wounds badly, making it harder for him to even move properly. Every time Luigi got close to getting onto his knees, he would just slip back onto his stomach.
After about a minute of this, Luigi gave up trying to use his knees and instead just used his arms to drag himself to his cage. He whimpered in pain the whole time he was heading towards the cage. Soon he finally made it to his cage and was about to get in before Amber stopped him.
"Hang on. I notice that I have to change your mats. Seems like you really soaked those ones," Amber said as she walked over to the table and grabbed another pair of latex gloves, slipping them onto her hands before disappearing into the other room in the basement.
Luigi had honestly forgotten he had peed before he was tortured and as a result, his face turned a deep shade of red out of embarrassment, prompting him to bury his head into his arms, uttering a small wince in embarrassment.
Amber eventually returned with two fresh potty mats and headed back to the cage. She placed the clean mats on the top of the cage and knelt down in front of the cage's open door. She reached inside and grabbed the two soaked mats out of the cage, the mats dripping urine all over the place as she did so. She then quickly carried both mats over to the garbage bin and stuffed them inside.
She then headed back over to the cage, grabbed the clean mats off of the top of the cage and placed them inside the cage. Once that was done, Luigi dragged himself inside of the cage. He didn't care if the cold bars were scraping against his stomach. His body was already in enough pain as is.
Once Luigi was inside the cage, Amber closed the cage door and locked it before heading back to the table. She grabbed the trash bag out of the trash bin, tied it up and carried it up the stairs with her.
Luigi heard the basement door open and close, locking once it was shut. He curled up in his cage and closed his eyes, letting the tears roll down his face.
After approximately five minutes, Amber returned to the basement. She walked over to the cage Luigi was in, unlocked and opened the door and tossed something inside before closing and locking the door again.
Luigi looked at what Amber threw into his cage. His eyes immediately widened and his mouth began to water. She had apparently thrown a chicken drumstick inside of his cage. The sight of the drumstick made his stomach growl loudly, filling the otherwise quiet basement.
"Well, I didn't throw food into your cage for you to just stare at it," Amber remarked.
Luigi wasted no time in grabbing the chicken and digging his teeth into the savory meat. Surprisingly, his teeth were still strong enough to rip apart chunks of meat off the chicken and chew them. It felt so good for him to finally get something to eat after days of being deprived of any food. The meat was cold but at this point he didn't care in the slightest. Having something to eat was all that really mattered. Amber just stood there and watched as he viciously devoured the chicken like a carnivorous animal tearing violently into its freshly hunted prey.
Eventually Luigi polished off the last bit of meat off of the drumstick and set the bone aside. He then curled back up, closed his eyes and allowed his satisfied stomach to begin digesting his food.
"Good boy," Amber whispered as she went back upstairs to her other unconscious victim. Mario was still in the spot she had set him down in. She picked him up and hoisted him over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Despite his chubby build, he was surprisingly lightweight for someone his age.
She proceeded to carry the unconscious man in red down into the basement to join his currently sleeping brother.
—————
When Mario opened his eyes, there was a pounding pain in the back of his head. He immediately closed his eyes again to try and make the pain go away. It felt like he had a big bump on the back of his skull. His face was littered with bruises from all the areas Amber had hit him with a frying pan.
Suddenly he remembered what had happened and his eyes immediately shot open. The room he was in was pitch dark aside from a light from a window on the stairs that barely lit up the room. He tried to move forward, only for him to realize his arms and legs were bound to some kind of pole behind him.
"What is this?" Mario whispered to himself, trying to move. "What the hell is going on??"
Suddenly Luigi yawned as he awoke from his little nap. He opened his eyes to see the basement was suddenly dark again.
"Hello? Is someone else... here?" Luigi asked. "If so... C-Can you help me...?"
Mario immediately froze when he heard that series of words. Although the voice was very obviously hoarse and weak, it was one he knew like the back of his hand. It was almost hard to believe it was true. He didn't wanna believe it but...
"W-Weegee...?" Mario asked, a hint of concern in his voice.
"M-M-Mario...?" Luigi answered back, his voice paralyzed in pure shock.
The room suddenly fell so completely silent, one could hear one of the many cockroaches scurry across the floor. The brothers both just sat totally still. Unable to speak. Unable to move. Unable to comprehend the fact that what was happening wasn't some dream. It was truly as real as it could be.
Mario didn't have to say anything more as Luigi let out a loud squeal of unbridled happiness and joy.
"MARIO!!! OH MY FUCKING GOD!!! You actually came!! You came to save me!! I knew I could count on you, big bro!!" Luigi shouted, unable to contain his excitement.
"Bro! Please! Not so loud!" Mario whisper-yelled, clenching his teeth and inhaling deeply as his brother’s sudden loud outburst made his ears ring.
"S-Sorry, Bro..." Luigi whimpered, lying back down.
"It's fine. Can you tell me what's happening? Why the hell am I tied up to a pole?" Mario asked, struggling to get loose.
"Huh? You're tied up?" Luigi asked. "How come? Didn't you come to rescue me?"
"Me, Peach and Daisy have been executing a massive search party for you, baby bro. We've been checking every kingdom on the planet. I had no idea you were in the Orchard Kingdom. In fact, none of us did!" Mario explained.
"Wait, so is EVERYONE helping?" Luigi asked.
"Yes! We rounded up as many civilians from as many kingdoms as we could get! Your disappearance is literally international news!" Mario replied.
"Really??" Luigi asked in surprise.
He could barely believe it. After years of constantly being either ignored or belittled by almost everyone around him, people seemed to care enough about him to actually want to find him and make sure he gets rescued safely!
”Yes really! Once I get us out of here, we’re going straight to the girls,” Mario replied.
"Having a nice conversation there, boys?" A familiar voice greeted.
The voice instantly caused Luigi to whimper in fear. Mario looked ahead and saw a figure standing right at the bottom of the stairs. The figure of a woman with wavy hair. It didn't take a rocket scientist for him to piece together who it was.
"Amber? What is going on??" Mario asked with a hint of sternness in his voice.
Amber ignored Mario and carried forward to the cage beside him. "Oh, I just so happened to have captured both you and your pathetic ass brother," Amber finally said, chuckling as she stroked the top of the cage. Luigi whimpered more as Amber did this. "What an achievement that is, huh? You guys must be pretty stupid to think you’re really gonna escape so easily,”
"Whatever you're doing, you better leave my little brother alone!" Mario threatened, hearing his poor brother's whimpers.
"Oh, I believe it's a little too late for that one, Mario," Amber retorted as she walked over to the light switch. "Have a look for yourself." With that, she flicked the switch on, filling the room with bright light.
Mario instantly snapped his eyes shut as the sudden lighting change caused his retinas to burn. After a few seconds he squinted, trying to adjust himself to the scenery. He was able to see some of the torture contraptions that blended into the dark. He also saw a table littered with many tools on it, some of which were covered in dry blood.
Seeing that blood immediately caused Mario's eyes to shoot open wide. Seeing the blood coated tools instantly filled him with a feeling of dread he didn't wanna believe. He quickly closed his eyes once again and turned his head to face the cage beside him. He had trouble opening his eyes. What if his fears were confirmed to be true? He didn't wanna see them if that were the case.
After another few seconds of stalling, he finally mustered up the courage to open his eyes and look at his brother.
He immediately wished he hadn't.
Luigi looked absolutely horrific. His entire body was littered head to toe with bruises, fresh wounds, burns, and taser marks. His entire body had begun to deteriorate as Amber refused Luigi any food or water for days. His muscle fat and tissue had begun to wear thin, making his skeleton appear more visible through his skin. His normally fat stomach was also now very flat.
The most disturbing part was his face. Being littered with bruises and wounds, his face was so mutilated that it was almost unrecognizable. His right eye, which was all purple and swollen, had been stitched shut in a sloppy fashion, rendering his right eye useless since he couldn't open it. Dry, crusted blood had formed around the stitches on the eyelids. His cheekbones also protruded through his skin as his cheek fat had decreased quite a bit.
Mario felt a whole flurry of emotions build up within him. Emotions like dread, fear, pity, hurt, disgust, concern, but most prominently of all, unfiltered and unbridled rage.
Mario gritted his teeth as he began to take loud and deep breaths in pure anger before he just exploded.
"WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK DID YOU DO TO MY FUCKING BROTHER, YOU PSYCHO?!!! I SWEAR TO FUCKING CHRIST I'M GONNA FUCKING MURDER YOU IN COLD BLOOD!!!!" Mario screamed in blind fury.
Amber walked over to Mario, smirking sadistically as she placed a finger under his chin. He continued to exhale harshly out of his nose like a bull getting ready to charge.
"Oh, so you finally see what I did to your 'little bro', huh?" Amber mocked as she stroked Mario's chin gently. "He certainly has looked better, hasn't he?"
Mario spat in Amber's face after she said that. "YOU FUCKING PSYCHOTIC WHORE!!!! I'M GONNA FUCKING SLAUGHTER YOU AND GRIND YOUR REMAINS INTO MEAT AND FEED THEM TO WILD WOLVES!!!! I FUCKING HATE YOU!!!! YOU HEAR ME?!!! I FUCKING HATE YOU!!!!" Mario continued to shriek in absolute rage at Amber.
Mario's unfiltered rage caused Luigi to curl up and whimper in fear. He has never seen his older brother get this angry before. Not even when he was defending him from Bowser has he gotten this fueled by his own rage. It was pretty scary to him.
Amber took notice of Luigi's sudden reaction. "Huh, looks like you're scaring your little brother there, Mario," Amber teased.
"After all that you've clearly done to him, I'm pretty fucking certain he's already scared out of his fucking mind!!!" Mario yelled back. "You let us go right this fucking minute or so help me!!!"
"Oh, why would I let you go when you're acting like that?" Amber said as she walked over to her table. Her back was turned so she couldn't see the bros.
"Mario..." Luigi whispered faintly. "Please... Save us..."
Mario looked at Luigi with determination in his angry eyes. He was going to save his little brother even if it killed him while doing so!
Mario carefully and secretly summoned his Firebrand and used it to burn the ropes that were keeping him tied to the pole. Once his hands and feet were free, he collapsed to the floor. He suddenly froze for a brief second, fearing Amber might've heard that. She didn't, thankfully, as she still had her back turned.
Mario got up to his feet and looked at his bro again, who was looking back at him with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. He absolutely could not let his little brother down.
Don't worry, lil, bro. I'm gonna get us both out of here! Mario thought to himself as he gave Luigi a reassuring nod of confidence. He took a few deep breaths, preparing himself for what he was about to do.
Ok, Mario. He thought as he readied himself for what was about to commence. You got this...
He looked up at Amber with determination. She was still facing the table, not paying attention to what was happening behind her
Let's-a go...
In an instant, Mario charged right at Amber. Before Amber could turn around to see what was happening, he slammed his body into her back with such force, causing her to fall straight into the table, metal instruments scattering all over the floor around her.
Amber tried to get back up before she felt a heavy weight pounce on top of her and pin her down to the ground. She was then greeted by a white-gloved fist that came crashing into her face. And another. And another. Many punches came flying to her face as Mario held nothing back.
"I'LL TEACH YOU NOT TO FUCK WITH MY BABY BRO!!!!" Mario shrieked in pure rage as he continued to beat her senseless.
After all the long trekking adventures he's been on to rescue Princess Peach, he had built up quite an impressive amount of stamina. Even Amber had trouble overpowering Mario's strength. He absolutely did not let up at all, either. The punches kept coming, one after another. It was like he was physically unable to stop.
Not like he wanted to. He was gonna teach Amber a lesson for daring to lay a finger on his poor little brother.
He continued to throw punches into Amber's face as she struggled to move her arms to reach for something. Before she could do that, Mario grabbed her by the hair and pulled her hair back before slamming her head into the concrete floor beneath her with great force. Fresh blood splattered onto the pavement as her forehead was split open from him doing that.
Amber screamed in pain as Mario slammed her face into the floor again. And again. And again. And again.
"SHUT UP!! SHUT UP!! SHUT UP!! SHUT UP!!" He screamed after each time he slammed her face into the floor. The puddle of blood continued to grow in size after each slam, too.
Amber hastily tried to reach for a scalpel as Mario continued to mercilessly beat her head into the pavement. He then stopped slamming her head into the ground as he got up off of her. Before she could move, he rose his leg above her back and slammed it down onto her back hard, knocking the wind out of her. Doing so forced her arm closer to the scalpel she was trying to grab. She managed to successfully grab it and bring it toward her.
Amber had trouble breathing after Mario slammed his foot into her back but she still tried to raise her arm behind her before he pounced on top of her again. He resumed in punching her in the face, showing absolutely no mercy whatsoever.
She brought her arm up behind her and within a flash, she drove the scalpel right into Mario's left side, prompting a loud scream in agony from the red plumber. She then forced herself back up off the ground and in turn, flinging him off of her and onto the ground.
"MARIOOOOO!!!!!" Luigi shrieked out in pure terror after witnessing his big brother getting stabbed.
Mario writhed in agony on the ground as blood gushed out of the stab wound that was inflicted upon him. In a weak attempt, he tried to pull the scalpel out of his side, blood oozing out as he did so. After slowly prying the sharp object from his side, he collapsed to the floor again, holding his side as he writhed out in pain.
Amber managed to pull herself back up off the ground. Her face was covered with about as many bruises as Mario's. Having her head slammed into the concrete floor created a sizable gash on her forehead that was causing blood to stream down from her forehead and onto her face. The punches had also caused some of her teeth to be knocked out, much like what she did to Luigi when she beat him with a crowbar.
"Mario! Please! You gotta get up!!" Luigi shouted in fear.
Mario looked at his little brother, who had a look of pure horror in his eyes. He knew he couldn't let his baby bro down. Despite the flaring pain in his left hip, he managed to pull himself back up onto his feet.
"Oh no, you don't!" Amber shouted as she heard Mario standing back up. She instantly grabbed another larger scalpel off the ground and charged at him, this time digging it directly into his right hip, prompting yet another chilling scream in pain from Mario.
Amber dug the scalper deeper into her victim's side, causing it to push right through the tendon in his hip, as the older brother shrieked out in agony all the while.
Luigi watched in pure horror as Amber was stabbing Mario deeply and brutally. For the first time in the time he was held there, he could feel a sense of pure hatred and blind rage boiling inside of him. He could feel his Thunderhand coursing through his body as sparks of electricity shot off his mustache. Hot tears of anger flowed down his cheeks as he gritted his teeth and breathed heavily and shakily.
"LEAVE MY BROTHER THE FUCK ALONE!!!!!" Luigi screeched out as loud as he possibly could. Blind fury could be heard in his voice. It was unlike anything else Amber had ever heard come from the younger man before. The hatred in Luigi's voice was much more intense than it was in Mario's voice. It was almost like it pierced right through Amber like a sharp dagger.
Amber forcefully removed the scalpel out of Mario's hip, earning herself a loud grunt in pain from him as she did so. She then turned her attention towards the youngest of the two brothers.
"You want me to leave your brother alone?" Amber asked in a patronizing tone.
"YES!!!! LEAVE HIM ALONE, YOU FUCKING DISEASED WORM!!!!" Luigi shrieked violently. Amber could see the flames of fury in Luigi's good eye. They pierced right through her soul. His entire body was trembling with rage as hot tears of anger streamed down his cheeks.
"Hmm..." Amber thought about it before turning her attention towards Mario. "Tell you guys what. I'll let the both of you go as long as Mario does a little something for me," Amber finally said.
Mario looked at Amber with pain in his eyes. It hurt Luigi a great amount to see his brother like this. Out of all the stuff he's been through, seeing his older brother in a state of pure anguish is what hurt him the most.
"W-What...?" Mario stuttered, gripping his bleeding sides as blood stained the palms of his gloves.
Amber walked over to Luigi's cage and unlocked the door, opened it and motioned for him to get out of the cage. He hesitated at first but eventually crawled out as he really didn't wanna be dragged by his wrist again.
"I'm gonna need you to get on that board once again, Luigi," Amber instructed, motioning Luigi to the board that she had used to torture him the past few times.
Luigi shuddered but eventually crawled over to the board with Amber following suit. She then pressed the button that made the board lay down flat.
"W-What are you gonna do to h-him...?" Mario asked with a hint of worry in his voice. He could barely move as anytime he tried, the pain in his hips would ignite again.
Luigi got up onto the board and laid down, allowing Amber to strap his arms, legs and neck to the board. She then pressed another button that made the board tilt upward so it was aligned against the wall.
"In order for you two to leave, you're gonna brand your brother," Amber said as she got another instrument off of the table, this time a heated needle.
Mario's eyes widened with horror as he immediately stared at one his little brother. Luigi's one open eye was as wide as a saucer with a look of pure panic in it.
Amber walked back over to Mario and forced him up onto his knees. He groaned in pain as his stab wounds began to irritate him more severely. Amber then shoved the needle into his hands and dragged him over to Luigi.
"I want you to use that needle to write "Filthy Cow" on your brother's chest. You have about 10 minutes to do so while I go and check on something upstairs," Amber said as she walked back up the stairs. "I'll be back down later to check your progress." She yelled back down as she left the basement, locking the door behind her, leaving the brothers alone in the basement.
—————
Ten minutes later, Amber came back down into the basement. When she got to the bottom, she noticed that Mario hadn't even started carving the words into his brother yet. He was just standing there, staring at his brother, shaking while gripping the needle tightly in his hands.
"Seems like haven't gotten started yet..." Amber said as she walked over to the table. "Looks like I have no choice but to motivate you," She grabbed a knife off of the table and marched right over to where the bros were.
She used the knife to cut Mario's overalls open, splitting them down the center of the back. Once she did that, she then gripped his red shirt and ripped it open from the back. Mario stood completely still during this. Amber then pressed the knife gently against his back and got really close to his ear.
"If you don't do what you're told, I'm gonna fucking carve your back open," She hissed into Mario's ear.
Mario turned towards Luigi, who was hyperventilating with tears streaming down his face. His good eye had a look of pure dread that hurt Mario more than anything even the strongest of Bowser’s attacks could ever do to him. He hated seeing his brother in such a vulnerable state because of the psycho who was holding a knife to his back at that very moment, threatening him to essentially mutilate his brother.
Mario shakily put the heated needle closer to Luigi's chest as Luigi whimpered in fear, his whimpers getting louder the closer the needle got to his skin. The needle was soon very close to his skin. Luigi could feel the hot steam from the needle on his flesh and whimpered loudly, tears streaming down his face.
Mario hesitated for a few seconds. He didn't wanna do this to his brother. But he also wanted the two of them to get out of there as soon as possible. He was left pondering on this for a minute before ultimately pulling the needle back in an instant.
"I can't do it!! I can't hurt my baby bro!! He'll hate me forever!!" Mario cried out, allowing the tears to finally stream down his face for the first time in his life. Seeing Mario cry like that punched Luigi right in his gut. It really hurt seeing his big bro this upset as he was practically being forced to mutilate him. It, in turn, made Luigi cry as well.
Amber pressed the knife into Mario's back, causing a short scream to emit from the man in red as his back began to bleed.
"Do it now, fucking cretin," Amber growled into Mario's ear. Mario sobbed more before turning his attention back to his little bro.
"I... I'm so sorry, baby bro..." Mario sobbed before sticking the heated needle directly into Luigi's chest, earning himself a bloodcurdling shriek in agony from his brother. This in turn made Mario sob harder as he continued to carve the letter 'F' into his brother's chest, earning more deafening screams of pain from Luigi as he writhed around.
"That's it. Keep carving," Amber said as she pulled the knife out of Mario's back. He finished carving the first letter and moved on the carving the 'i' next to it. Luigi's loud, bone-chilling screams filled the basement. These screams made Mario sob even more.
He didn't wanna believe this was happening in real time. He didn't wanna believe he was being forced to mutilate his little brother. He didn't wanna believe the person he met at the Halloween party whom seemed like a bubbly, upbeat person was actually a cold-blooded heartless monster who got her thrills from torturing other people.
Mario had no trouble with carving all the other letters until he got to the letter 'C' in trying to carve the word 'Cow'. No matter how hard he tried the needle just wouldn't carve it. He began to get stressed out. If he couldn't finish the task, he and his brother would never let free.
"Keep carving!" Amber threatened harshly at Mario.
"I... I can't! It won't work...!" Mario cried, his face wet with tears.
Amber angrily groaned and ripped the needle out of Mario's hands before shoving him to the floor harshly, landing by the mess of scalpels on the floor.
"Fine! I'll finish it then!" Amber angrily shouted as she got to work in carving the word 'Cow' right below the word 'Filthy'. Luigi continued screaming out in absolute pain as she did so. Unlike Mario, who tried to be light with his carving, Amber was rough and careless, causing Luigi even more pain.
"Stop fucking squirming, you ugly bastard!" Amber shouted at Luigi as she continued carving into his skin with the needle.
Mario immediately grabbed one of the scalpels off of the floor and crawled back over to Amber. He took a deep breath and in an instant, he drove the needle directly into her bare heel, prompting a deafening shriek from the woman.
She immediately dropped the heated needle and looked down at her heel, seeing Mario right there with the scalpel sticking out of her heel.
"YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!!" She screamed in rage as she kicked Mario in the face, sending him flying backward, crashing into the table. Mario rubbed his now bleeding nose as Amber walked over and grabbed him roughly by his hair.
"PLEASEDON'THURTHIMPLEASELEAVEHIMALONEDON'THURTMYBROTHERPLEASE!!!!!!" Luigi shrieked so loud and so fast his words were strung together to sound like an incoherent mess of gibberish.
"Y'know, I was thinking of letting you two go free! But now you blew your fucking chances!" Amber yelled as she slammed Mario's face into the ground, blood splattering on the ground.
She then grabbed Mario by the wrist as she dragged him over to Luigi. She clenched Mario's wrist tightly in her hand as she used her other hand to undo the straps that were holding Luigi onto the board. Once that was done, he collapsed onto the ground again, moaning in pain.
Amber kicked Luigi to the side, prompting him to let out a noise in anguish and curl up, holding his gut as he writhed in agony.
Amber then let Mario go as she let both brothers lay there on the ground, writhing in agony. She then grabbed some rope off of a hook by the table and walked back over to Mario. She forced Mario onto his stomach and bound his arms behind his back before tying them up. She then bent his knees back so his feet were touching his bottom and tied them down together, making sure they were tight enough so he couldn't move.
Once that was done, Amber grabbed Luigi by the wrist and dragged him to a chair that was sitting by the board contraption. She sat him in the chair and proceeded to tie his wrists to the armrests of the chair and his ankles to the legs of the chair. He struggled to get out but the ropes were too tight.
Amber made her way back over to Mario, whom she dragged over so she and him were a couple of feet in front of Luigi.
"Please... Just let us go..." Mario sobbed.
"Hmm..." Amber thought for a second. "Well, I'll only let one of you go,"
"W-What...?" Luigi asked with fear in his eyes.
Amber then got up and walked over to the table. She picked up a knife off of the table. The same one she used to cut open the lemons to make the mixture she rubbed in Luigi's wounds.
"Only one of you will soon get to see the light. The other one won't be so lucky..." Amber calmly said as she approached Mario with the knife.
"Amber... Please don't torture Mario..." Luigi mumbled with tears falling down his eyes.
"Oh, I'm not gonna torture him," Amber said as she knelt down next to Mario. "I'm gonna do something else to him. And you'll be the only witness,"
Amber then undid the ropes that were bounding Mario back, freeing his arms and legs.
"You can try to fight back but it won't be very effective," Amber said as she twirled the knife in her hand. She then used her other hand to pin Mario down to the ground by planting her hand on his chest.
Then, in the blink of an eye, Amber quickly slashed the knife across Mario's neck, blood splattering all over the place.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! MARIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Luigi shrieked as hard and as loud as he ever could as tears flowed down his face at a fast pace.
Mario couldn't scream as he had blood gushing from his neck violently. Any noise he tried to make came out as nothing but a bunch of gurgles. He held his hand up to Amber in a desperate attempt to stop her but she immediately responded by driving the knife straight through his palm and out the other end of his hand.
"STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!!!!" Luigi screeched as he began to violently thrash in the chair. His thrashing had managed to tip the chair and thus himself over, causing him to land face first onto the cold ground.
Mario's vision slowly started to become blurry as little black dots gracefully danced across. He rose his other hand as blood gushed out of his mouth and neck at an alarming rate.
"Nuh uh..." Amber teased as she rose the knife above her head. She then wasted to time in drilling the knife directly into Mario's chest, piercing straight through the plumber's heart.
Mario's eyes became as wide as saucers before he fell limp. Amber then panted heavily as she dropped the knife beside Mario’s now dead body. She wiped her sweat soaked forehead, smearing some of Mario’s blood across it.
Luigi had kept his head down during the rest of the ordeal. He didn't wanna see what had happened. He didn't wanna believe what he saw. It couldn't have been real. It had to be some awful nightmare.
Eventually Luigi got the strength to lift his head up and open his eyes. The shrill sound of Luigi's deafening, bloodcurdling scream shook the basement walls as he laid his eyes on his older brother's lifeless body. He could see Mario's skin starting to go pale. His cold, dead eyes stared directly into Luigi's eyes like a pair of daggers.
'This is all your fault, Luigi...'
He began hyperventilating. This can't be real...
'You let him die...'
His older brother.... His only family member...
'Why didn't you try to save him...?'
The one person he cared for the most...
'It should've been you...'
The one person who gave him the strength and the confidence to keep going...
'You could've stopped it...'
Now he was gone...
'It's all because of you...'
"IT'S ALL MY FAULT!!!!" Luigi howled out as his head collapsed to the ground again. He continued to sob louder than ever, hot tears streaming down his face. "IT SHOULD'VE BEEN ME!!!!"
Amber got up, walked over to the table and placed the bloodied knife onto it before wiping her hands off on her clothes, which were already stained in Mario's blood.
"Really wish I had streamed this on one of those red rooms," Amber muttered to herself.
"WHY DID YOU HAVE TO KILL HIM?!!! WHY DIDN'T YOU KILL ME INSTEAD?!!!" Luigi wailed as he proceeded to slam his head into the concrete floor. "WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY?!!!!" Each time he wailed that, Luigi slammed his forehead on the floor with great force, causing a sizable gash to form onto his forehead. Blood began to pool on the area where he bashed his head into.
Luigi eventually stopped sobbing and began to hyperventilate. He couldn't deal with the fact that his brother was gone. His tears trickled onto the floor beneath him, blending into the fresh pool of blood that had formed from where he had bashed his forehead into.
Luigi then took an insanely deep breath before letting out the loudest, most high-pitched and longest bloodcurdling shriek he had ever let out in his entire life. His scream was so loud and so powerful it literally rattled the walls of the entire basement. Some of the tools on the ground began to shake around as the ground vibrated from the ear-bleeding decibels of his shriek.
He continued to scream for 35 seconds straight without stopping to take a single breath. Amber tightly clamped her hands over her ears and approached Luigi again.
"Shut... UP!!!" She screamed before using all the force she could conjure up in her leg to kick Luigi in the head real hard. This caused Luigi to stop screaming and suddenly pass out, the room around him going black abruptly.
