Chapter 1: Stories and asteroids
Long, long, time ago. When little blinkety lights in big darkness even more shiny. When great moon real smooth. Not pockety like right now. When whole world very different. Back then. There no Three-horn, or Long-neck. Not even Sharp-tooth. No, back then, There only one tape creature that fell skies with might screech and big flapping sound. This most smart, most brave, most handsome creature to ever rule world. The Flyers.
(Cera) HEY WAIT A MINUTE! THAT'S NOT TRUE!
That was not the narrator in the first paragraph. That was Petrie.
(Petrie) Oh yes it true.
(Cera) Is not
(Petrie) Is too.
(Cera) Is not
(Petrie) Is too.
(Cera) Says who?
(Petrie) My uncle Pterano. That who. He tell me when me just nestling.
(Cera) Well he told you wrong.
The Others are here too. Even Mario and his friends. But the rest didn't come because they had things to do in their world.
(Ducky) I did not know you had an uncle Petrie.
(Mario) Me nether. But I'm with Cera on this. Even I don't think the flyers were first dinosaurs to ever exist.
That got Petrie to sigh sadly.
(Peach) Well where is Pterano?
(Petrie) Well, he go away when we all babies.
(Cera) Go away? You mean he was sent away. My dad told me that the grown-ups kicked your uncle out of the herd.
(Littlefoot) Gosh. What did he do?
(Cera) My dad didn't say why. But only that it was really awful.
Just then, everyone heard footsteps. The gang walked to a ledge and saw a herd of many kinds of dinosaurs coming into the valley.
(Ducky) Looky.
(Tickles) Who are those guys?
(Littlefoot) Far Walkers. Grandma and Grandpa told me that a Flyer from that herd came and told them that they would be staying with us for a while. They also told me that we're coming into the wandering times.
(Luigi) Where did they wander from?
(Littlefoot) Out of the cold lands. Looking for food. They need a place to rest until they're ready to leave. So they know that they can rest here and then be on their way.
At that moment. Cera chomped down on a leaf
(Cera) Yeah. With a belly full of our tree-stars.
(Petrie) Not if you eat them first.
(Cera) I heard that.
(Daisy) Relax Cera. Here in The Great Mushroom Valley Kingdom, there's enough tree-stars for everyone.
Just then, everyone heard Mama Swimmer calling.
(Mama Swimmer) Ducky. Spike. Tickles.
(Ducky) Let us go home Spike.
(Tickles) Yeah. I'm tired.
With that, the 3 left as Cera then heard Topps calling.
(Topps) Cera. Time for bed.
(Cera) See you later guys.
Cera then went back to her nesting ground as Petrie went back to his nest as well. Littlefoot, Mario, and the rest then heard Grandpa Longneck calling.
(Grandpa Longneck) Guys.
(All) Coming.
6 hours later, Mario had a hard time sleeping. He couldn't stop thinking about what Petrie told them. He made groaning sounds that were so loud that it woke up Littlefoot and Peach.
(Peach) Mario? Are you ok?
Mario woke up and looked at Peach and Littlefoot.
(Mario) I'm fine. I just can't stop thinking about what Petrie said to us.
Just then, they heard a sound. A flying and flaming sound. They looked at where it was coming from and saw an asteroid. But not just any asteroid. Its fire was blue and it made cracking sounds as it flew over the kids.
(Littlefoot) Wow.
(Peach) Pretty.
(Yoshi) Yoshi Yoshi Yoshi. (I've never seen a asteroid like this before. It's amazing.)
They watched it as it flew to a mountain that resembled a Three-horn and landed on it with a boom and a flash of light.
(Mario) Well what do you know. It landed on Three-horn Peak.
(Littlefoot) I hope Grandpa saw it.
But Grandpa Longneck was sleeping until he heard what Littlefoot said and woke up.
(Grandpa Longneck) Saw what Littlefoot?
(Luigi) Did you see it?
(Daisy) The way that thing flew over us and that light and...
However, they saw that Grandpa Longneck was confused about what they were talking about.
(Mario) You didn't see any of it?
(Grandpa Longneck) I believe not Mario.
They would have said more but instead they went back to sleep and what they saw got Mario to stop and think about what Petrie said to them.
