"It'sa Me, Mario!" Chapter 1: A Cryptic Begining

"Geno! Geno!" The short teenaged girl yelled as she ran through the twinkling streets of Star World. Something had gone terribly wrong on the Star Road. There had been a hint of something wrong ever since the seven star pieces had been scattered across the Earth by Smithy. When the road was later restored thanks to the help of Mario and company, the road was working but it seemed to take a little extra "umph" on the part of the inhabitants and workers to grant the pure wishes of the people.

"Geno!" she shouted as she finally arrived at his home. She burst open the door and ran inside, "Geno we have a major problem on the road. Ray wants you down there as soon as possible. One of the stars…"

"I know. Do they want me to go back?" a figure sitting in a dark corner of the small house said placidly as if he were preoccupied.

"I think so," the girl said caught by surprise. Her uncle had grown much older since he was first sent to the earth as a reckless teenager. In fact, she thought, he had been about the same age as she was now.

"How much damage has it been able to do so far?" Geno asked as he stood up from his place of meditation. He was wearing a similar robe to the girl but his was a darker shade of blue. He also was wearing the hood on his cloak.

"I don't know except that it has been able to like mess with their sky and climate," she offered everything she had learned by eavesdropping on the higher ranks.

"Then there is still time. Let us go," Geno said.

"Yes."
