It was 9:00 p.m and all the residents of Toad Town were perched on the rooftops, waiting for the meteor to appear from the starry sky. Peach was also ready for this night. She had her very own telescope and was going to her balcony to set it up.

Along with the townspeople and the princess, the Mario Brothers were ready for the occasion.

Staring into the beautiful dark sky from the window of their home, Luigi replied to his brother, "Isn't the meteor wonderful, Mario?"

Standing with his brother, Mario answered back, "What do you mean, Luigi?"

"I mean, its back story, its power, heck, even its appearance is cool!"

"Yeah, you're right, brother. I guess it is pretty coo-"

The green plumber interrupted him by saying, "Look, there it is!" The two gaped in awe. Even though this was probably the 5'Th time they saw it, the falling ball was still a sight to see with its beautiful white tail and awesome looking flames.

"Hey, it looks like it's going to land at Bowser's castle." Luigi noticed.

"Like that's going to do anything. That guy can't even touch it." Mario said.

"Yeah, you're right. What can possibly go wrong?" Luigi jinxed them.

At Bowser's Castle

"At long last, the most powerful rock ever is mine!" A booming voice echoed through the hallways of the castle.

In a lab, a koopa with a lab coat and a green, plaid, cracked, shell named Dr. Albert Koopa (Al for short) and the king of koopas himself, Bowser, was testing out potions so they could get their evil hands on the meteor.

"Alright, let us try this one first." Al exclaimed and gave a clear potion to Bowser and got a thick blue one for himself.

"Hey, how come yours looks different?" Bowser complained.

"Well, this one I think got too hot so, I'm going to try it so you're not the one dying." The scientist explained.

"Aw, what a good minion, taking his life for me." Bowser replied.

"Well, bottoms up!" Albert said and drank the potions. Then, they touched the ball. There was an awkward silence.

A few minutes later, after feeling no power in his body, the king asked, "Uh, aren't I suppose to feel power consuming my body?"

But before Al could say anything, a crack started splitting the middle of the rock and white light started to spill out of it.

"What the?" Bowser remarked.

Then, a huge flash blinded them. When the two opened their eyes again, the meteor was nowhere to be found and there were 4 holes in the roof. One of them had gone north, another one east, one south, and the last one west.

Bowser looked at the dazed koopa looking up at the ceiling and shouted angrily, "Well don't just stand there, fix the roof!"

"Um, sire." Albert replied in a mumbled voice.

"What?!" King Koopa replied.

"I think the meteor broke into 4 pieces and flew to different parts of the kingdom."

And as the camera zooms out of Bowser's Castle, Bowser yelled in despair, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
