1 Part 2: The Prophecy
"You're lucky I'm in a good mood, Star Boy," Bowser said. "If I wasn't, I would have kicked you out of my castle instead of helping you!" Geno and Bowser were walking down Vista Hill down to Mario's Pad, as it was the closest place where they needed to go. "No, I am not lucky," Geno said, "It was destined tom happen. You aren't in a good mood; it is just that it was fate that made you come with me. I know that from the great prophecy." The way Geno said drew Bowser in, which was an effect Geno created on purpose, so Bowser would pay attention. "What prophecy?" Bowser asked. "The Second Coming of Exor," Geno replied. Bowser jumped backward, scared out of his wits (which he obviously doesn't have) by the idea that his Keep would be destroyed again. "Don't worry. It doesn't involve your castle," Geno said in a reassuring tone. "But it DOES involve something FAR more important," Geno continued in a not-so reassuring tone. "Wishes," Geno said to Bowser, in a VERY serious tone. "Wait a minute," Bowser said, "Wishes? Are you trying to tell me that it really is a rehash, and you lured me under false pretenses?!" Geno looked at him very strangely and cocked an eyebrow. "No. That's not what I am trying to tell you. You haven't even listened to the whole story yet!" "I don't care!" Bowser yelled, "I know where this is going! And I know where I'm going too!" At that Bowser turned around and started turning back to his keep. "Good luck making it across," Geno muttered under his breath. He raised his gun-arm and aimed at the bridge. He started to work up some power, and released a huge blast of energy. Just as he planned the entire bridge was wiped out. Bowser looked down into the pit of debris where the bidge to his Keep once stood. He turned aroundin anger and yelled at Geno, "HEY! YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" Geno smirked and replied, "Then we should have discussed the rules BEFORE playing the game. NOW ARE WE GOING OR WHAT?" Bowser grumbled and walked back to him.
As soon as Bowser got back, Geno started talking again. "Bowser," he said. "Remember two years ago, when I came to tell you, Mario, Peach, and Mallow how Star Road was destroyed and no wishes could come true until it was fixed? Well, since we fixed it, up in Star Kingdom they rewarded me by making me official royalty of the kingdom. That allowed me to update Star Road. When I did update Star Road, I made it so it still exists, and allows wishes to come true, but each piece that makes up Star Road means nothing. The true power in Star Road now lies in seven separate stars, each at different corners of the Earth. I did this so if something destroys Star Road again, the damage would be minimal. But according to the prophecy, my plan will backfire. I don't know how or when Exor will come, but it will do something that, because of the placement of the pieces, will reverse the energy of the Star Pieces from positive to negative." "So, uh," Bowser said, scratching his head, a little confused, "what does that mean?" Geno sighed and answered, "It means that, not only can wishes not be granted, the Star Road will do the EXACT OPPOSITE of what people wish for!
For example, if someone wished to be rich, all of that person's money would go straight down the drain! So, we need to prevent this from happening!" Bowser, who now understood all of it said, "How, may I ask do we prevent this? I mean if we don't, EVERYONE will look down upon me, I will never kidnap Princess Toadstool, I will be a complete wimp, and Mario will completely ignore me!" Geno placed his hand on Bowser's shoulder and replied, "Calm down, calm down. Let me explain. There are six basic key- points of elvation in this world: undersea, underground, the land, Nimbus Land, Star Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Chaos. The Kingdom of Chaos is where we need to go. But the most powerful evil forces are the ones who dwell there. That's why we need to be as prepared as possible." With all the talking, Bowser and Geno didn't realize that they were already at Mario's Pad. Bowser took one look at it and said, "Gee. Mario sure has a pathetic house." Geno ignored him and walked up to the door. He raised one of his arms and started to knock.
