Okay, let's try this again… Time for a redo! Why? Because I truly feel like I rushed through the original one, and in my opinion… the original sucked to a certain extent. So I'm hoping to do better with this one.


Prologue

"It's time…"

"R-Raiun sir! You aren't serious!?"

"Yes I am, Neil. It's time to send him off," Raiun said.

"B-but sir! He's not ready yet! Not only does he not know how to fight, but he has no experience with the Earth, either! There's no way he'll be able to succeed!" Neil said, completely shocked with the king's decision.

"Neil. We have no choice. The Mushroom Kingdom, as well as the world, is in grave danger. If we don't send him down, there will be no hope at all. We have to try…"

"Sir… you may be making the same mistake you made before…" Neil said with an extremely worried look on his face.

The king of the Sky Kingdom stood there, a grave look on his face. Then, he gave the young Skirian a reassuring look and said, "Neil, he has outstanding potential."

"I realize that, but…"

"I have a feeling that he will be able to take on the Enemy without any troubles. I trust him completely."

"You won't regret your decision?"

"No," Raiun said with a serious but gentle smile. "I have faith in the young Sky Warrior…" Raiun looked out into the distance, watching the Sky Warrior gracefully flying through the sky.

"It's a shame that we have to do this to him…" Neil said, still with a gut feeling that something bad would happen.

"He will succeed. I know it." The king of the Sky Kingdom said. He then extended his right arm out, spreading his hand out. He sharply jerked his arm to the right.

The Sky Warrior, who had no clue about what was about to happen to him, suddenly stopped in midair, his flight being interrupted. He suddenly started to plummet down to the Earth below him.

"WAAAAAAAAAAH!" he screamed.

"Good luck… Mario…" Raiun said.
