Back at Toad Town, the toads started to climb down of their mushroom roofs and go inside. But right when they thought the show was over, 4 flaming pieces of, well, something, flew in all 4 directions. The residents were surprised. This never happened before. Peach, who, like everyone else, saw this, zoomed in further on her telescope only to see those things were pieces of a meteor and she knew exactly what meteor they belonged too.
The Princess ran out of her room and went to Toadsworth's quarters. Being in a hurry, she slammed his door open instead of knocking.
"Sorry Toadsworth." Peach whispered as the old toad jumped out of his brown bed.
"What's wrong, Princess? Is Bowser attacking again?" Toadsworth asked as he grabbed his cane and went into his closet to change into his regular clothes.
"No, the meteor has been broken into four pieces." And with those words, The Princess heard the brown-capped mushroom jump again.
"Are you going to hold a meeting?" Toadsworth asked fearfully from inside his wardrobe.
"Yes, could you please help me tell the others?" Peach questioned.
"Of course I will!" The old man agreed while getting his last piece of clothing on and getting out of the closet.
Even more later, after everyone was all woke up and ready for the assembly, they all went down to the meeting room.
"Alright, we have a serious problem everyone," Peach stated, "The powerful meteor that we saw this night as been ripped into 4 shards."
Right when Peach ended her sentence, everyone went into a state of panic except Toadsworth, Mario, & Toadbert.
"Well," Toadbert tried to say over the ruckus of the panicking toads (and human), "I think I could go down to the library and see if we could put the shards together again once we find them all!"
"Good idea!" Peach yelled over the panicking members.
And with that, Toadbert hopped off his chair and went out the doors.
Mario wanted to ask something but the all of this noise probably wouldn't get his voice to the princess so, he waited until the room calmed down.
Once that did happen, Mario piped up saying, "Where did the pieces go?"
Peach replied back, "The pieces all went in the four directions."
Mario noticed then that one of the pieces would fly towards Toad Town. When he tried to warn the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom, screams started to come from outside and the room went back into a panic.
Mario quickly got out of his seat and, while running to the exit of the room, grabbed Luigi saying, "That's our cue, bro."
Mario, still grabbing onto his brother, opened the door to see Yoshi standing there holding hands with a small light brown version of himself who had an obviously painted over hat of Mario's. Instead of the usual red color on it, it was now blue and instead of a red "M", there was a brown "P".
