Twin Brothers. (pg 2)

Over the vast Mushroom Kingdom, on a cloud somewhere, a baby feels a poke on his nose. It startles him, but he wants to stay asleep. He keeps his eyes closed, and squirms uncomfortably. Another poke on the nose. He gives in, and for the first time in his life opens his eyes. In front of him is another baby, with big blue eyes, and a funny red hat. The first baby giggles at the silly hat and reaches out for it, pulling it down over his brothers eyes. As he sits up he sees that his brother has another hat in his lap, and it is green. This delights him and he picks up the hat and plays with it, putting in his mouth first, and then on his own head. He and his brother play around there on the cloud for a bit but soon fall asleep.
When they awaken again they are both in a little sack and far far up in the air above the ground. The baby in the green hat notices how scary it is as he looks down, but his brother dosen't seem scared at all, the crazy little red-hat even tries to leave the bundle when he looks over the edge, but green-hat just won't let go of his foot.
As they look up they see that above them is a huge bird holding tight onto the tied end. The red-hat brother, who is soon to be called Mario, reaches up and tries to tickle the brids feet which are clenched tight onto their the bundle. The second brother, who later is called Luigi, dosen't like that idea, but soon something far worse than anything the silly little baby Mario could bring about occurs.

This desparate magikoopa had taken this monster koopa for his own particular reasons. It was some time before this all happened that Kamek had learned how to look into the future. When he looked he saw that eventualy the Koopa Kingdom, which is situated in what was once a very mountainous region with a handsome landscape and safe valleys, would completley recede into a desolate state as all of the mountains would proceed to one by one explode into fire, and blanket their earth with black rock, and rivers of red fire. This was a process that had already begun, and had begun to worry a great number of the koopas. He wondered if anything could be done about this, so he began to search for answers. It wasn't long before his eye fell upon the lush land of the Mushroom Kingdom. He knew that the Kingdom was well ruled and had loyal subjects, and that for some reason the infant princess Peach Toadstool seemed to be a key to it's safety, but through his predictions it was unclear why.
What he was able to see, though only in vague signs, was that the Koopas would need a king, and he could see that this king would be no ordinary koopa. That was why he had taken this young monster. He would personaly be raising him to fulfill this vacant spot in the Koopa Kingdom. The magikoopas, he knew, would gladly give up their role as leaders to serve an active and powerful king.
The only other thing he saw that caused him great distress, much more so than the mysterious power that the princess seemed to have, was the appearance of two twin brothers who would always stand in the way of the progress of the Koopa King against the Mushroom Kingdom.

This morning Kamek had again looked into time in order to see if there were any more clues to decipher, especialy since now he had found this little Bowser, as he was calling him, who would be his future king, and was seeking some sort of idea of what to do with him. (Raising this kid was not a walk in the park, afterall.)
Much to his surprise, instead of seeing into the future, he saw something that was happening right that moment. Two twins! One in a red hat, the other in green! That was something he clearly remembered from his predictions of the two troublemakers for the Koopa Kingdom. They were being delivered to their parents in the Mushroom Kingdom by the stork! Kamek would have something to with this by the time it was over. He quickly rushed to his broomstick, and some of his toadies hurried alongside.

As baby Mario tried in vain again and again to jump up and releive the stork of his grasp on their lives, little Luigi peered his head over the edge of the sack for the first time since he had done so earlier and seen the ground, and saw something even more scary. There was someone flying their way.
