Chapter 1: Dropping the Ball
(Cassopolis 1,000 years ago)
It was a dark and stormy night at the top of Duke Cass' tower. Snow was falling from the sky, despite that it was summer time in Australia. There was also a large machine seen at the tower that looked like it was sending a beacon into space. Also seen at the tower was a man how looked like Mario only he had a sword sheathed on the left side of his hip, a man who looked like Luigi, a large gorilla that was twice Donkey Kong's size, a gray Tasmanian Tiger with a scar over his right eye, and an angel who looked like a younger version of Pit that had just arrived at the tower. The large gorilla was shivering a bit and even had a dripping leaking from one nostril.
King Kong- (SNEEZE)
The sneeze blew the man who looked like Luigi to the ground.
Loewy- Watch it, King Kong! Your sneeze almost blew me off the tower!
King Kong- King Kong sorry…but King Kong not feeling well…King Kong might have…
Before King Kong could finish, he suddenly began to feel the urge to sneeze again and quickly placed his arm of his face before sneezing again.
King Kong- King Kong might have cold…(SNIFF)…
Then King Kong saw the mess on his left arm and tried to reach for the angel's wings. However, the angel slapped King Kong's paw away.
Icarus- Don't you dare use my wings to wipe your snot! That's disgusting, King Kong!
Simba- Anyway, we finally found the thing responsible for causing all those meteors to fall and hit Earth. And right here in Duke Cass' home.
Then the man who looked like Mario drew his sword slightly and readied himself to strike the machine.
Marco- So let's destroy it before it causes any more meteors to fall!
But before they could do anything to the machine, a cassowary who looked similar to Boss Cass appeared from behind the strange machine.
Duke Cass- Not so fast there, Marco Mario! You didn't think I would just leave my Meteor Beacon unguarded?
Simba- Duke Cass!
Duke Cass- You fools are far too late to stop me! Even as we speak, my Meteor Beacon is pulling in more asteroids in space to fall and crash into the planet yet again!
Icarus- You idiot! Don't you realize the damage you're doing to the planet! You've already caused it to start snowing in middle of the hottest day of the year with those meteors you've caused to fall earlier! Also, Lady Palutena says you'll risk causing a second ice age if the meteors keep hitting the planet!
Duke Cass- CAWHAHAHAHA! That's the point!
Simba- Wait…you're actually trying to…
Duke Cass- What better way to knock you mammals off the top of the food chain than by putting you all on ice?
Loewy- I'm not sure Slicor would approve of that.
Duke Cass- Forget Slicor! Him and the rest of Slicor's team aren't even aware of what I'm doing. But you won't be around as the world freezes over and rids me of you mammals once and for all!
Simba- You've never been able to beat me on your own, Duke Cass. What makes you think you can take all of us on your own?
Duke Cass- Just look behind you…
Then Marco, Loewy, King Kong, Simba, and Icarus turned around and saw a very large meteor falling from the sky and looking like it was about to hid Buramudgee.
Simba- Shit! This is bad, mates! If a meteor of that size hits the surface…
Duke Cass- CAWHAHAHAHAHAHA!
The large meteor was falling and coming closer to the ground below.
(Palutena's Skypalace in present time)
Pit wakes up after having an intense dream. Pit sits up in his bed and was in a bit of shock. Sweat was dripping from Pit's forehead as Pit was trying to catch his breath.
Pit- Yikes! What kind of dream was that?! I think…I was Icarus again…and…the other members of the original Super Mario Brothers' Team was there…
Took a few minutes, but Pit managed to calm himself down.
Pit- Was that really something from Icarus' memories? If so, I better ask Lady Palutena if she knows anything about this.
(Cassopolis)
Karlos was sitting in his little hover chair as a mechanical claw from the hover chair was picking up a pile of garbage and moving it somewhere else. However, Karlos was not looking happy about this.
Karlos- I can't believe Boss Cass is making me clean up junk pile! So disgusting! I doubt Boss Cass is even aware of what any of this scrap or how long it's been sitting here!
As the mechanical claw continued to dig through the trash, it actually clung to a small device that was buried in the pile. It wasn't long before Karlos took notice of it.
Karlos- Huh…?
Karlos cleared some of the garbage saw a strange machine in that junk pile. It looked like it was still active, but it was all covered in rust and electricity was sparking from it.
Karlos- What do we have here? This doesn't look like any of Boss Cass' inventions. Or one of mine. Perhaps I should show this to Boss Cass and see if he knows what his is.
