The Ultimate Escape Pt 2: Broken Apart

## **Plot**

In outer space, a large chunk of one of Neptune's moons breaks off, forming a comet that heads directly straight to Earth, signifying the prophecy's foreshadowing.

Fawful is seen slowly dying off as he bleeds more until a figure comes in front of him to his confusion. The rest of the team sits in their confined prison tied up. Daisy revels on how their lives are likely going to be over soon so they should start saying their finals words. Bowser tells her to get a grip and think positively, citing he has never thought like that before, calling it "disgusting". Peach encourages him to think more like that as negativity isn't something they need but they all begin to clamor on how they should escape. During their argument, Squirt tells Toadette that he thinks this time, things are going to end more differently than how things usually turn out. She tells him not to worry as hope and faith are really the only things they could have at the moment. Squirt then decides to tell her that he did get her a present for her birthday which overjoys her to the sight of tears. He mentions he isn't able to give it to her for obvious reasons but hopes she will like it. She tells him that she is going to like it no matter what, they both then share their first kiss together, prompting the rest of the team to stop their arguing and watch. Daisy gives him a thumbs up on the side and Rosalina tells them they are going to escape one way or another before telling Luma to spin into one of the shackles holding her tied, which works and breaks her free. She frees the others and they hurry out of the room. They pass through a hallway and look outside to see inhabitants of the Macroverse mimicking each other by becoming one another. Peach asks Rosalina if she knows what they are doing. She explains that the inhabitants of the Macroverse are called "Macronites", and every single one has the ability to shape shift into anything they want, so the whole "not who they seem" card must be played very heavily here.

Mario is tied down by blue neon laser barriers, forced to be in front of a large window which is going to be the test site of Luigi being experimented on by Dimentio. He tells him that they are too big of a nuisance for his master scheme to continue and thus, shall result in killing them both with Luigi being first. Luigi is thrown inside, calling out Mario on the other side with Mario doing the same. Dimentio calls the moment "touching", saying he is almost filled with tears, insisting the bros have a moment together while he checks on the guards outside. He leaves the bros, Luigi makes a dirty stare at a guilt-ridden Mario. Mario pleads him to forgive him as he didn't know this exact event would happen, citing that he only knew a bad thing would happen. Luigi snaps back saying how he still had the chance to warn him before any of it occurred but Mario yells back saying he thought he could protect him from the danger. Luigi goes silent, allowing Mario to silently cry about wanting to protect him and how much he truly loves him. Dimentio cuts the moment short by warping inside with Luigi and grabs him by the throat. Mario yells for him to stop and struggles to escape his barriers. Dimentio turns his hand into a buzzsaw and pulls it closer and closer to Luigi's neck, telling him to say goodbye to Mario. They both begin to yell but just before Luigi can be killed, Mario taps into his inner strength state and becomes extremely furious and bursts out of the barrier. He inhabits a much more powerful state, his eyes glowing yellow and a colorful aura surrounding him. He begins to violently beat Dimentio, who is caught off guard by the sudden power boost and is thrown across a hallway. Dimentio chuckles it off, saying if he wants to play, then they can play, before creating multiple clones of himself that warp around Mario. The others find Luigi who is now unconscious but Rosalina finds he still has a pulse but they need to protect him. The others agree, with Bowser offering to take him on his shell while they escape the fortress. Mario and Dimentio continue to battle around the castle, destroying many parts of it in the process. Mario punches him extremely hard which gives them enough time to go towards the main lobby but it is crawling with goons. Peach and Daisy fight them off with providing help for each other, defeating many of them while Squirt and Toadette do the same with their own tag team moves. Bowser easily tramples over the minions that cross his path and they make it out of the castle. Mario is happy at the sight but is distracted and doesn't see Dimentio strike him from behind. Mario falls to the ground, he too becoming unconscious.

Back on Earth, Mason and Leroy notice the sky getting darker and see the oncoming comet heading straight to Earth. They realize they are in danger and need to warn Squirt. They try calling Squirt but he is unable to hear them call due to running away. Bowser rushes towards Mario, picks him up and speeds off, all the while dodging Dimentio's attacks. The serum on the rift is also almost completely closed, with Rosalina warning the others to quickly run faster. They barely make it through the rift, unharmed and safe. The rift closes, leaving Dimentio defeated but vows that this isn't the last they will see of him. Luigi awakens but this time, his pupils are yellow. The team question if he feel okay but Rosalina says that his eye color change may have been the result of a massive energy wave that struck him. Leroy, Mason, and along with Mark warn the team what's happening and they become shocked to see the comet on its way to Earth. Rosalina eyes at the Observatory and says that she knows what to do, but admitting she is going to need help. Peach offers to go along with Squirt. Everyone else agrees to watch over the bros while they stop the comet.

Rosalina tells Peach and Squirt that they both are gonna need to be pilot and auto pilot while she uses her magic to stop the comet. They both nervously agree, with Rosalina saying they have only once chance at perfecting this and if they don't, the whole world is doomed. Rosalina calms them both down, helping them relax and then they blast off into space. They reach a comfortable distance from the comet, she tells for Peach to stop the Observatory which she does. Rosalina then realizes it is coming too fast for them to stop and that they must pass by it in order for their attack to work. She tells Peach and Squirt to get ready which they both tense up. She yells for Peach to shift it into hyperspeed and Squirt must press the eject button in order to launch Rosalina high enough to blast the comet with her magic. Peach presses on, then at the very last moment, Rosalina yells for Squirt to push the button which he does and she leaps into the air and destroys the comet with a single shot, ending its torrential course in one fell swoop. The citizens back in the kingdom cheer for joy and leap in glee. Rosalina congratulates them both and they head back into Earth.

Once they arrive, Mario is revealed to still be unconscious and unresponsive, prompting the team to worry. Squirt begins to hyperventilate from the stress of what just happened and begins to breakdown, causing Peach to comfort him. Luigi clenches Mario's hand and tells him that the same thing he did when Luigi was asleep, saying "he will never let go and everything will be okay", and saying that he will need some time but he will forgive him. The group comes together and hugs each other, some silently sobbing and embracing one another, hoping things will turn out for the better soon, fading to black, ending the second season.

The words, THE MARIO BROS WILL RETURN appear on screen.
