Prologue: The Dream
Space is an ever gaping hole of infinity, that goes on and on. In a specific galaxy in a specific solar system on a particular planet in a certain area, in a small station, tanks moved in and out; there was little activity going on. Inside were members of a many-tenticled species that seemed to have a human level of intelligence. They walked erect, eyes straight ahead, unbudging.
They held Bill Blasters over their shoulders, marching in a straight line. Mechanized robots carried small lazer rifles. They were a parasitic race, the Vryaks. Inside a room, a lone Vryak sat on a stool, sweating. A voice rang out. "Manera 343, you sit here, accused of treachery." The Vryek started sweating more heavily. "Is it true? I've heard that you were in Sector H making a deal with a Plitian creature," said the voice.
"Oh no, sir, it's not what you think," Manera said.
"Oh really? Then what I see is what I think."
A small video camera TV screen shows a male Vryek talking with a fungus of Plit. "You and your planet have got to escape! The destroyer is coming!" The screen fizzled off.
"Do you like serving me?" the shadowy voice said.
"Y-yes. Yes I do!" The Vryek forced a smile.
"No. No you don't. You fear me. Like all the others. But there is one loyal. His name is Jacob. Jacob Stine. Now be quiet while I find out what to do with you."
The shadowy figure walked over to a table and opened a holographic map. "Milky way galaxy, 3rd solar system, planet Plit." A small tiny red planet appeared, littered with rock formations and water. "The Plitian planet. Dominant species: Koopa. Description: A reptillian race that walks on hind legs and has intelligence surpassing that of a human. This planet will do nicely. Guards!"
Two tall Vryek males came in to the room. "As for him, I need him no longer. Send him to the pit." The shadowy figure watched, not in anger, pity, or happiness; just stood there emotionless and watched as the Vryek fell into a pit of acid.
A million miles away, Luigi woke up in a cold sweat.
Chapter One: The World on my Shoulders
I sat up, gasping for breath, and looked at the clock. It was 12:00 midnight. I went to the bathroom and splashed some warm water over my face. I went to my brother's bedroom and gently woke him. By the way, I'm Luigi. Luigi Mario. I have an average life except for the fact that I've saved an entire kingdom more than once. It may sound like I have the good life, but you're wrong. Everyone barely acknowledges me anymore. My brother, Mario Mario, is who gets all the fame.
"Yeah, YAWN! What is it, Luigi?" Mario asked.
"Um, Mario, I just had a dream," I said.
Mario looked angry. "A DREAM?! You woke me to tell me about some nightmare?" There was a glare in his eye.
"It wasn't just a dream! It felt like a sign!"
I frowned as I was kicked out the door. Sometimes I hate my brother. Tonight we were sleeping at the Royal Mushroom Palace after the big party (see first book). That Slimer49'r creep we fought is dead now. Man, what a nut. But I still can't help thinking, what happened to Lord Alkeron? Aw well.
"Luigi!" Princess Peach called from across the hallway. "I was just about to check out the stars. You wanna join me?"
I couldn't say no. It was a beautiful night. We went outside to the balcony and sat down. "Wow," I smiled as a shooting star went by.
"You know what they say, wish upon a shooting star and it might just come true." Peach sighed.
I closed my eyes. I want to know my purpose. Who am I? I opened my eyes and watched as the star went out of view. I saw Triton and Ringar, the third and first planets from our sun. The heavenly bodies were very beautiful.
I left to go back to sleep. I pulled up the covers and wondered about the dream. Who was the destroyer?
Chapter Two: A Midnight Stroll
"Gaz, it's time for bed," my mom said. I'm Gaz, and I live in Rose Town. My favorite time of day was here. My mom would always read to me. My mom sat next to me and said, "Tonight we're going to read The Three Little Mushrooms." I was glad. It was one of my favorites.
"And the little Mushrooms were now old enough to leave the house. Their mother told them to watch out for the big bad Koopa. As they set off they each made their houses, one of 1-Up Mushrooms, one of Cheep Cheeps, and one of Starmen. One day the big bad Koopa came to the first house. Who is it? asked Mushroom #1. Koopa said, I'll huff and puff and burn your house down!
"The Mushroom got scorched and went to the second house. The Koopa soon had fried fish. When the two went to the third house, Koopa huffed and puffed but could not knock down the Starmen. When the Koopa climbed into the chimney to get the Mushroom children, he got burnt. And they lived happily ever after.
"Okay, Gaz, I think that's it for tonight. Good night." She kissed me and turned out the light.
...
I woke up in the middle of the night to get a drink of water. I yawned. I went to get up, but I heard a voice. "Heh, heh, heh."
I gasped but nothing came out of my mouth. "Who are you?" I realized I couldn't speak. I couldn't walk.
"Me? I'm Jacob Stine340. I am a Vryek, and I am currently in your brain. I control everything you do now. Just know this, my people are coming to enslave your filthy little planet, and all you can do is watch. Watch in sadness as I defy your family and friends. Plit is ours."
