Geno stepped through the gate. The world of the Omniverse was a strange one for the possessed wooden doll. Even moreso than the strangeness of the Mushroom World and Star Road, this place was odd. The Pale Moors, he had heard its name from some dry bones outside the gate. He started his journey. For real this time, he had met some people in the Nexus but now perhaps Geno could really start to find out what is going on around here.
The dark and ominous weather, the weird plants that seemed as dark as the sky, this place was almost as malevolent as Smithy's Domain. Lightning lit up the dark clouds and thunder shook the trees, striking the ground close to Geno. "I wonder if all of the worlds past those gates look like this." He stepped briskly along the path. The road meant there must be a town eventually.
Then he heard a moan. He had walked for some time, but as he turned around he saw a zombie shambling towards him. Geno spoke, "Hello good sir! Can I help you?" The human zombie wearing a bright orange cone on its head dragged one leg along. It must have been injured at some point. The zombie groaned, "Braaah... Brains! Braaaaains..." He could speak, but he got closer with that hungry look on his face. Geno replied, "I'm sorry but I can't help you with that." Geno would frown if he could, this seemed to be just a mindless creature. He couldn't very well let it wander as it pleased attacking travelers.
Geno waited cautiously for the zombie to get closer. Once it got to him, the zombie tried to bite Geno, who quickly dodged to one side and jumped back a couple times. Geno sighed, "I'm sorry, but I can't let you continue like this." That confirmed that it was hostile. He was also slow, best to finish this in one move. Geno replaced one hand with a metal tube, and tiny bright bits of light appeared around the area in front of its end and zipped in. Geno kept his distance as he focused energy.
Geno said, "I'll make sure you don't suffer." He jumped, and pointed the fully charged star gun at the cone hat zombie. It shot out a thin white tracer beam out, which quickly grew into a 6 foot blast of energy. The blast hung there for a time, then dissipated and the zombie was gone. As well as a sizable amount of vegetation and some of the ground behind where it had stood until it fell completely into the ground.
Geno nodded. It was unfortunate but he had to move on. Not long after that, he saw the village in the distance. As he got closer he could see that there was activity. Smoke in chimneys, and people moving about with lamps set up to light the roads and candles in windows. "I'm not SCARED! I'm a brave one and don't you forget that!" Geno heard something, a voice up ahead. His head came down from looking up at the buildings to see two Koopas. Geno stopped for a moment surprised. He again found more Mushroom residents here. Were they associated with the Koopa Troop under Bowser's control? Geno approached the Koopas and said "Hello! I am Geno, what are two Koopas doing in a place like this?"
