The Primmer - Chapter 1
The Arrival
(Mario, Luigi, etc. are copyright Nintendo. Quinn Mario is copyright me.)
Quinn Mario opened his eyes as he laid on a soft, grassy surface. His head throbbed from the initial landing of the delta warp through the Primmer, which ended up being a "volcano" effect in the air for him. A gush of moist air rushed across his head, making him realize that his barrette wasn't on his head. Quinn, still lying on the ground, looked around with his eyes, but to no avail. He then turned his head with much pain northward, finding his barrette about 4 inches from his head. Quinn swung his right hand over his head, grabbing the barrette, and placing it back into its original position on his head. He then heavily sighed, and tried to exert himself off the ground. Unsuccessful. He plopped back onto the ground. This time, Quinn saw the huge green warp pipe he came out of after doing delta warp. Quinn hooked onto the rim with both hands, trying to pull himself up into a sitting position. This time, he was successful, and Quinn happily laid his back against the warp pipe. He felt his backpack against the pipe, and was glad that he brought food and drink with him. Quinn then decided to go over his mission and why he was here. He opened a metallic notepad, and holographic words appeared. He skimmed through them to what it seemed like the millionth time.
Quinn - Our meeting was important last Friday. It will takes its place in history once we get my grandson, Leon, back home to Mars, and Europa later on. Though I am still a prisoner to those corrupt Laguarde's, I can at least still help you in your quest. Keep in mind that this mission has two goals: not only to find Leon, but to overthrow the Laguarde dictatorship of Mars. The Laguarde's may have gotten away with the destruction of Europa, but they did not with the destruction of Earth. They must be overthrown as soon as possible. Anyway, Once you do find Leon, you are to transport him and yourself to a Primmer space station, located on orbit around Callisto. My uncle, Ivan, will transport you both to Europa, and we shall meet to discuss what to perform thereafter.oh, and you will also get your reward. Trust me, it is a very pleasing award that comes at a low price.well, it's better than war, now isn't it? This parallel Earth you'll be traveling to, since it was broken away from the meteorite impact on the real Earth long ago, lifeforms from that time may of traveled into the Primmer and may of settled onto the planet. Whether they have evolved into a being like us humans, I cannot say. To the extent of my knowledge, expect some type of reptile-like species on the planet. There may be others. Who knows, maybe Leon is living with these creatures? The same reptile species that defended Europa from the Laguarde's may of come from the parallel Earth so keep your eye out. Leon knows more about them than I certainly do.
Keep in touch with you notebook; I will send you messages every so often. Good luck, and Godspeed on your mission! -Cain Laviand
After reading the briefing, Quinn tried to relax, but the excitement of exploring a new world consumed his every thought and desire. He tried closing his eyes to go to sleep, but he couldn't do it. His thoughts rushed to his mission, and his promise to Cain just a couple of days ago.in Mars time. Who knows what time it was now? Maybe he could.
Quinn awoke with a sharp pain biting at his right leg. He sat up, and examined it, trying to notice any severe fractures in his platinum like armor. He saw none, so he laid his back against the warp pipe, looking out over the land in front of him. The land was covered with green grass, swaying in the wind, and with spotty mushrooms, each presenting its own different color. Quinn then looked at the sky, expecting it to be cloudy still. Instead, Quinn's face looked as if in fear as he saw purple clouds race through the sky. He stood up, despite his pain, and ran to follow the mysterious clouds. He went over hill after hill, also noticing the creatures around him. One he particularly noticed was small, brown and looked rather wimpy. Quinn made a scan of the creature as he ran, looking at possible relations with human DNA. There was none. Quinn stored the data into the data scanner.
Suddenly, the purple clouds stopped in their path. Quinn stopped in his tracks to take a good view on where the purple clouds stopped, but a hill blocked his way. He climbed the hill, and he saw before him a dark, rocky and barren landscape. The black and red sky seemed to welcome the purple clouds in this terrain, as a ship-like structure descended from the sky upon a strange group of mushroom "houses." The houses seemed to have been built upon the border of the grassy land and the rocky land. Quinn opened up his data scanner to scan the ship's qualities. The ship was made of a flexible metallic-like substance, and was covered with various markings in which Quinn did not understand. A greasy-like smell emitted from the structure, engulfing Quinn's nose. As the shipp landed onto the black rock, it emitted a light from its central body, and a ramp was lowered. Meanwhile, dozens of walking and talking "Mushrooms" made their way over to the ship, looking queerly and suspiciously at it. Quinn noted in his journal that the Mushrooms spoke a language that he could not comprehend. Quinn hid behind a very bright rock, waiting to take notes.
Walking Turtle-like creatures marched down the ramp, each carrying a type of technology Quinn did not understand. The creatures marched to the bottom of the ramp and halted, apparently waiting for something of a higher order. That higher order came when a great turtle walked down the ramp. The red- shelled creature wore ominous looking sunglasses on his bald head, and his arms showed muscles of great strength. His ruby, silk robe showed his power in royalty. The guards marched along beside him to the crowd of Mushrooms and halted. He began to speak in a different language. Quinn now wondered if these new turtle-creatures were more powerful than the Mushrooms. If so, then Quinn expected some brutality. He turned on his camera and recorded the meeting.
Suddenly, the red-shelled turtle stopped speaking. One of his guards whispered something into his ear, and the leader seemed to argue with him for a moment. Finally, the red-shelled turtle turned to face the Mushrooms once again. "The Koopa Kingdom wants me to speak in the human language, so that is what I shall do." Quinn nearly jumped at these words. A turtle speaking in English? Was the Mario legend true? Quinn continued to listen. "I shall repeat this all again. All of you are now part of the Mushroom Slave trade of the Koopa Kingdom. You will all cooperate as we board you onto my Doomship. Any Mushroom that thinks he's a smart-ass will be shot at. Roy Koopa has spoken." Declared Roy as he motioned the guards to begin chaining the mushrooms together and board them onto the Doomship.
Quinn watched all of this in horror. In one day, he has witnessed two species, one clearly dominating over the other. "The turtle-like species is apparently called the Koopa," Quinn thought as recorded notes into his journal. "The mushroom-like species is apparently called the Mushrooms, and nothing more. What was interesting about this conflict was that not only did Roy Koopa, the one apparently in charge of the invading Koopas, speak in his language, but he also spoke in English. After his speech, Roy apparently ordered his guards to take the Mushrooms as slaves for the 'Koopa Kingdom.' The Mario legend we all know and love may be coming true." Quinn put away his journal and he peaked over the rock once more. Nearly all of the Mushrooms have already boarded, and the guards were also boarding back onto the doomship.
Quinn laid back onto the rock, still feeling a little bit of pain in his right leg. He wondered when his leg would heal. Just when he was about to pull out his journal to take notes again, he felt pressure on the right side of his skull. The pressure was painful, and as Quinn turned his head to the right, he saw before him big clawed feet, a body dressed in metallic attire, and a bright glowing object pointed at Quinn's face. The face of the creature was none other than Roy Koopa's. "Dashi-unuli?" said the Koopa, maintaining his position. Quinn tried to maintain his posture against the wrath of the Koopa, but it was difficult in doing so. "What?" asked, Quinn, confused by Roy's language. Roy put on a knowingly face. "Human. I thought so." He remarked, lowering his weapon to the ground. Quinn then stood up slowly, afraid yet fascinated by the creature. "Well, what brings YOU to Earth?" asked Roy. Quinn breathed in deeply. "So, that's what this planet is called?" answered Quinn in reply. "Of course it is! Who else would get a dumb name like Earth?' laughed Roy in reply. Quinn laughed along with him, though the smell of the doomship was suffocating. "It's NOT FUNNY!" hollered Roy, suddenly raising his exotic weapon from the ground and pointing it at Quinn's face. The pressure emitted from the weapon drove Quinn to the rocky ground. However, Roy again broke out with laughter. "Now, don't tell me what THIS is!" he laughed, pointing to his weapon. "I was..." began Quinn, but he never got to finish his sentence. An explosion hit the hill Quinn and Roy were standing on, and they both flew up into the air as a result. As Quinn landed back onto the rocky surface, he caught out of the corner of his eye an army of Mushrooms firing upon the doomship. Beams of light protruding from the army's weapons and their explosions into the ground now filled the sky. As blood dripped into the eyes of Quinn Mario and onto the black rock, he saw before he blackened out a mushroom soldier stopping before him, looking down upon his body in a royal-like manner. An insignia was upon his left arm.in English. It read:
Kinopio V, TMK
Quinn knew nothing more.
