The Primmer - Prologue

The Primmer: What is it? How did it get here? What does it have to do with the story? So many questions, yet there are so many answers with them. The Primmer is rather complex to explain, but it will all be explained here. So, just what is The Primmer?
65 million years ago, an asteroid hit the Earth. The impact of this asteroid was so great that it split the Earth's dimension into two. Various species that tried to escape the impact of the asteroid fled into the other dimension. Most of these species were of reptilian type, though there were some fungus-like animals that escaped as well. Very few mammals jumped into the other dimension. From then on, the two dimensions slowly started to move away from each other, like taking two ends of bubble gum and stretching them out. The little lines in between the two pieces of gum are exactly what happened with the two dimensions. These little lines are the only things connecting the two dimensions together. These lines are called The Primmer.
Two brothers, Mario Mario and Luigi Mario first discovered the Primmer, in the late 20th century. The Mario brothers were plumbers who lived in Brooklyn, New York. They often ventured deep into the underground sewers to fix pipe problems. One day, when they were underground in the deepest pipes of Brooklyn, they spotted an odd creature crawling out from one of the pipes. They got rid of the creature, but more of the strange creatures crawled from the pipe. The brothers quickly got lost in the sea of sewer pipes. They wandered endlessly for days, finding little food for themselves. They searched for an exit for days. When they found a light at the end of a pipe, they were overjoyed, and they rushed to it. Little did they know that this was the entrance to The Primmer. The rest is history.
Two centuries later, the Earth was being ravaged with overpopulation. Disease and famine ran rampant across the planet, governments collapsed, wildlife almost ceased to exsist. Throughout the past two centuries, knowledge of the existence of The Primmer passed down through the Mario family, but the middle of the 22nd century troubled them because of Earth's overpopulation problems. Finally, when they could face it no longer, the Mario family relocated to Mars under the Laguarde dynasty. Shortly after, war spread over the entire surface of the Earth. The Laguarde's, facing troubles of their own, wanted to know more about the whereabouts of The Primmer. Tensions rose between Earth and Mars, and war finally erupted between them in 2247. The war ended with the destruction of Earth, which most want to forget now.
After seeing the destruction of Earth, the Laviand's (descendants of the Mario family) relocated to Europa, a moon of Jupiter. From then on, the Laviand's dedicated themselves to bringing down the Laguarde dynasty. The Laguarde's wanted the same out of the Laviands as well. In 2258, after seeing no replies to their messages sent to Europa, the Laguarde's declared war on Europa, for the Laviand's had a deadly secret that the Laguarde's wanted. It involved the disappearance of Mario Mario nearly 8 centuries before, which was now either a far and distant legend or just plain forgotten. The Laguarde's had tried to find the remaining Mario family on their home planet of Mars, but they were all either deceased or very few in number. King Isaac of Europa and his son and heir, Cain, knew what had really happened to Mario, but were too afraid to explain it. As to their tradition, the Laviands told this mighty secret to the King's heir once a new heir was in place. Similar conflict between Mars and Earth ended with the destruction of Earth (which most peoples want to forget), so Europa feared for the worst.
War finally erupted in late 2258. General Drake Laguarde got permission to strike against Europa by his father, King Xavier. Drake mustered up his forces, made an announcement to the public of Europa's attack, and departed. However, when Drake arrived and landed on Europa, he found the moon a wasteland. Buildings were burning, dead bodies lay in the streets, and constant rumblings of laser cannons shook the surface. What amazed Drake, was that when he took 5 steps foreword, a massive, lizard-like creature ran past him. After an awkward silence, the lizard stopped abruptly, and turned around, facing Drake. The lizard was just a little higher than Drake, with unusual green skin that looked completely smooth instead of rough, and was wearing some sort of flexible green armor in the shape of scales that shown brilliantly in white if hit. Which is exactly what happened. The lizard quickly turned 180 degrees to meet a Laguarde soldier shooting at him from a distance with a Plasma gun. The lizard ran towards him, licking his lips with an unusually long tongue, and kicked him to the ground. It jumped high in the air, as far as anyone could see, and then plunged down to the victim at blinding speeds. The lizard killed the soldier upon impact, and looked as though somewhat satisfied.
Drake, after watching the entire incident, turned on his cosmic radio. He ordered the Laguarde soldiers to find any Laviand family members and quickly send them to Mars for questioning and trial. He just finished the sentence when he saw a quickly growing shadow. Drake looked up and he saw a lizard above him, plunging down toward his head, with feet straight out with armored boots heading toward his skull. Knowing there was no time to react, Drake quickly prayed to God before he witnessed his last moments.
When the Laguarde fleet managed to fly back to Mars without their leader, they brought with them the heir of the Europa throne, Cain Laviand. King Isaac Laviand and Cain's son, Dain, were killed in the lizard attack. However, The son of Dain Laviand, Leon, was nowhere to be found. In fact, it was strongly believed that Leon had fled Europa before the lizard attacks began. Laguarde soldiers wondered about this, as Leon was only 12 and hardly a soldier but more of a brilliant scientist. Then again, who knows?
As the prisoner transportation ship headed towards Mars, Cain Laviand considered his fate. He knew his grandson made it through The Primmer, but whether he actually knew the secret of the Mario family was not known. Cain knew he had little time, but he decided to call through his "webphone," which he secretly hid in his zippered back pocket. He called a man whose name was Quinn Mario, who was actually the last living Mario now on Mars. Cain informed Quinn of the situation, and arranged when they could both travel through The Primmer together. Cain hoped that his plan would work.
Later on, Cain secretly escaped from Mars and traveled with Quinn to the moon of Callisto. There, Cain told Quinn why they were to travel through The Primmer; Leon Laviand would be the heir to the Laviand throne is Cain got executed by the Laguarde's, so they needed to find him and bring him back to their own dimension. Plus, it is rumored that Leon had made those terrifying lizards during the Europa attack to fend of the Laguarde's, so they would be of help in destroying the Laguarde dynasty. Quinn agreed to all of this, and vowed to bring back Leon Laviand. After Quinn had warped through The Primmer, Cain was about to follow him, until he was ambushed by the Laguarde's. At the last minute, he tried to enter his coordinates, and warp through. He managed to escape, but he ended up in the wrong area of the other dimension. Cain just hoped that Quinn would be alright.
