I'm making another Mario fanfic. I hope you enjoy it. It's actually based on a roleplay I did with a friend..which is why I'm including Sergy92's character, Speedster T. I had permission to use him.
It's going to start like a typical Mario adventure (with a few exceptions)...but rest assured it's going to turn into something different. There's a reason why it's called the Cosmic Wrath. And no, Bowser will not be the main villain...though he will be a villain.
Chapter 1: Rescue Mission
Things were rather normal in the Mushroom Kingdom.
Toadsworth knocked on Mario's door. He had a frightened look on his face.
Mario answered it.
"Mario! The princess has been kidnapped!" exclaimed Toadsworth.
Unfortunately, that was the norm these days. It seemed like Princess Peach actually spent more time in the clutches of a villain than she did in her own castle.
"Oh a-no..." said Mario.
Fortunately, no matter how many times the princess was kidnapped, Mario was always there to rescue her.
Immediately, he knew who had kidnapped the princess.
It was none other than Bowser Koopa, the archenemy of the Mushroom Kingdom...as well as a certain red plumber who had a mustache.
It seemed that he was never going to give up on his evil ways. Even if one were to ask the seven Star Spirits beforehand, they probably wouldn't be able to sway him.
He decided that he would ask his brother for help. It would be risky to go alone. Though to be fair, he had gone on solo adventures in the past. His journey to the Beanbean Kingdom hadn't been one of them, however.
Currently, Luigi was sleeping in his bed.
"Mmm...spaghetti." mumbled Luigi.
"Luigi!" exclaimed Mario.
"Huh?" asked Luigi.
"The princess has been kidnapped!" shouted the red plumber.
"Which one?" inquired the green plumber. It seemed like they had met a lot of princesses. There was even a princess in outer space...though she didn't seem to be a space alien.
"Peach!" exclaimed Mario.
Luigi looked out the window.
There were doomships in the distance.
For some strange reason, it never seemed to be Daisy. It seemed like she was always safe from Bowser. She had been abducted by aliens once, but they hadn't done anything evil since then.
Together, the two of them set out towards Bowser's Castle.
Meanwhile, Speedster T was busy racing, unaware that the princess had been kidnapped.
People said that he was the fastest Toad alive.
He had won at the Mushroom Olympics three times in a row. Unsurprisingly, he happened to have some trophies.
And no, he did not cheat. He was too honorable for that.
However, his current race would be cut short.
As he drank a bottle of water, the sky began to darken.
"What's going on?" asked Speedster T.
He looked up at the sky and discovered that there were doomships approaching.
"Oh no..." thought the Toad. That could only mean one thing.
It looked as if Bowser was invading the Mushroom Kingdom once again. It was a good thing that they had the two Mario Brothers to defend it. Otherwise, Bowser would rule over all the Mushroom Kingdom by now, and the unfortunate Toads would be subjected to hard labor.
Numerous Bowser minions began to descend from the sky. Some of them had wings, while others were using parachutes.
They began abducting the Toads.
"Aah!" exclaimed the Toads as they were stuffed into bags.
No doubt they would be taken to the dungeon to work in Bowser's coal mines.
Speedster T gasped in surprise.
However, they didn't notice him.
The minions began to load the Toads into the doomships, then drive away towards Bowser's Castle.
Speedster T realized that he was going to have to rescue his friends. He couldn't leave them to their fates.
Besides, what was the point of racing if there was nobody to cheer him on?
So, he headed towards Bowser's Castle as well.
Meanwhile, Bowser was happy with the success of his invasion. Many Toads had been captured, and so had the princess. It looked as if his conquest was going rather well.
However, now was not a good time to be celebrating. he knew that Mario and Luigi would most likely invade his castle. They weren't going to take the kidnapping of the princess lightly. She was probably the most important person in the Mushroom Kingdom.
They always seemed to manage to rescue her. And whenever that happened, he ended up falling into boiling lava.
Why couldn't he win against against the plumbers? And why exactly was his castle filled with lava? He was starting to question his building design choices.
Well, there was no point in letting the two brothers reach him.
So, he got ready to defend.
He immediately summoned his Koopa Troop. He would make sure that they would be ready for the inevitable attack on his castle.
However, one of his troops seemed a little odd. He seemed to have recalled recruiting him fairly recently.
For one thing, he was looking a little...drunk. He wasn't wearing his shell like all the other Koopas, so he was basically in his underwear.
That, and he was holding a bottle of alcohol.
"Are you drinking?" asked Bowser.
"Yes, I am you giant evil monkey..." answered the alcoholic Koopa, drinking an icy cold alcoholic beverage.
Bowser scratched his head. Since when were his soldiers addicted to liquor?
Well, if he would be useful against the Mario Brothers, he would use him.
Sure enough, the Mario Brothers seemed to be approaching his castle as they spoke. Perhaps they should have raised the bridge so the Mario Brothers couldn't get inside.
Unfortunately for them, it was too late to do so.
"Get them!" bellowed Bowser.
The Koopa Troop went to attack Mario and Luigi.
At that very moment, Mario and Luigi entered Bowser's Castle.
As usual, it was looking rather evil. It looked nothing like Peach's Castle, that was for sure. They could see a portrait of Bowser in the foyer. They wondered who had designed it.
At that very moment, a Goomba spotted them.
"There they are! Let's get them!" shouted the Goomba.
More Goombas appeared, as well as some Koopa Troopas.
Fortunately, it didn't seem that they were strong. This was only the beginning of the adventure so they weren't exactly expecting powerful opponents.
Mario stomped on a Goomba and Luigi hammered a Koopa.
Another Goomba attempted to headbonk Mario, but he hammered him away.
Likewise, Luigi stepped on a Koopa Troopa and kicked his shell towards other Koopa Troopas.
"This is too easy..." noted Mario.
However, they were about to face a stronger opponent.
At that very moment, another Koopa entered the room.
This Koopa happened to be the alcoholic Koopa that Bowser had seen earlier.
"Hmm?" asked Mario. This Koopa Troopa seemed somewhat different from the others.
"You're not reaching the Koopa King you robot penguins!" exclaimed Alcoholic Koopa.
Mario scratched his head.
Alcoholic Koopa threw bottles of beer at them.
Mario and Luigi quickly dove out of the way as the bottles of beer shattered on the castle floor.
"I won't let you rescue the princess you ninja platypuses!" bellowed the Koopa.
"This guy's been drinking too much." noted Luigi.
Compared to the other Koopa Troopas, he seemed to be a good fighter.
Alcoholic Koopa prepared to launch another bottle of beer at the two.
However, he was suddenly hit by Speedster T.
The Alcoholic Koopa fell over, wondering who had hit him. He was like a blur.
"Who are you?" asked Mario. He didn't look like any Toad that he had seen, though he certainly wasn't a Koopa Troopa.
"I'm here to help! The name's Speedster T!" shouted the speedy Toad.
Unfortunately, they didn't have much time for introductions. There was a princess that needed to be saved!
"Pleased to meet you." said Luigi. Personally he wondered why this particular Toad was so fast.
Well, perhaps his speed would come in handy.
The Alcoholic Koopa got back up.
"I'm going to take you down, you samurai gorilla!" exclaimed Alcoholic Koopa.
Speedster T raised an eyebrow.
Alcoholic Koopa ran towards Speedster T, but the blue Toad kicked him away. It seemed he was too fast for him to pelt him with his bottles of glass.
All of a sudden, Alcoholic Koopa began to feel rather tired.
"I'm feeling sleepy..." said the Koopa.
Sure enough, Alcoholic Koopa fell asleep.
He let out a snore.
"What just happened?" asked Luigi.
"I don't know, but we should take advantage of it." suggested Speedster T.
Carefully tipetoeing their way past Alcoholic Koopa so they wouldn't have to keep fighting him, they found themselves in Bowser's throne room.
Bowser was sitting on his throne. Peach was in a cage nearby. She had lost count on how many times Bowser had kidnapped her. Surely Bowser could come up with something more original than this.
Perhaps Bowser simply preferred evil schemes that were simplistic. To be fair, he had kidnapped many Toads as well. Perhaps he decided that he would go a bit further than capturing the princess.
"Here to rescue the princess, are we? I don't think so! She's MINE!" shouted Bowser.
Bowser cracked his knuckles and stood up from his seat.
Mario and Luigi prepared to fight, along with Speedster T.
"You're-a going down, Bowser!" exclaimed Mario.
"We-a can do this." said Luigi.
"What's this? You brought a friend? No matter! You're still going to get trounced!" exclaimed the Koopa.
Bowser attempted to punch Mario, but he ducked underneath it and hit him with his hammer.
"Ow!" shouted Bowser.
He attempted to stomp Luigi, but he dodged and threw a fireball at Bowser.
Bowser then attempted to use one of his biggest weapons against the trio...his fiery breath.
"Get ready to be barbecued!" exclaimed Bowser.
Mario and Speedster T moved out of the way, but Luigi ended up being fried.
"Mamamia!" shouted Luigi.
Luigi shook the soot off of himself.
Fortunately, he seemed to be alright.
Bowser laughed.
However, Speedster T spin dashed into Bowser.
Caught by surprise, he fell on his shell.
He wondered why Speedster T was so fast.
Mario then leaped on top of his belly.
Angered, Bowser helped himself to his feet.
He then attempted to claw Mario, which he narrowly avoided.
Mario leapt on top of Bowser's head, and he collapsed on the ground.
"Why do I always lose to Mario?" complained Bowser. He could count on one hand how many times Bowser had managed to beat HIM.
Mario shrugged. It worked in his favor, didn't it?
After being defeated, Bowser dropped a key.
Mario had a feeling where that key went.
"Mario!" cheered Princess Peach.
Mario unlocked the cage she was in.
"Ready to go home?" asked Mario.
The princess nodded. She was happy to be rescued.
After rescuing the princess, the four of them went to the dungeons.
They began to free all the Toads that had been captured by Bowser.
They were very happy with Speedster T for helping to rescue them.
Together, the four of them headed back to the Mushroom Kingdom.
The Toads were ecstatic that the princess was rescued, and they began to throw a party.
And yes, it was a Mario Party.
Speedster T had been invited to the party due to his role in rescuing the princess. Personally he was hoping to play Mario Kart, but he would let things slide.
With Bowser defeated, it looked as if the kingdom was at peace.
Unfortunately, that peace wouldn't last long.
Meanwhile...
In Toad Town, the Toads were celebrating the defeat of Bowser.
Once again, the Mario Brothers had managed to prevail against him. Everyone that had been captured by the Koopa Troopa was now free.
It seemed like a foregone conclusion considering how many times that they had defeated him, but they felt like celebrating regardless.
Unsurprisingly, the weather was rather nice, reflecting how peaceful it was in Toad Town.
It was sunny without a cloud in the sky.
However, there seemed to something else in the sky aside from the sun.
It was getting bigger.
As it turned out, it was a meteorite.
A strange blue meteor crashed into the ground.
One of the Toads took a look at it.
It didn't seem to be Bowser's doing. Bowser had just been defeated by Mario so it looked as if he would leave them alone for a while.
Even so, there was something eerie about it.
There was also a strange liquid dripping from it.
Suddenly, the liquid began to change shape.
Eventually, it formed a Goomba. They resembled the Goombas from the Koopa Troop...but they had blue eyes.
The Toad gasped in alarm.
It looked like the Mushroom Kingdom might be in trouble.
Bowser has been defeated! But this isn't the ending of this fanfic by a long shot. In fact, this is only the tip of the iceberg. The Mushroom Kingdom is about to experience a crisis of cosmic proportions! See what I did there?
Alcoholic Koopa was invented by me. I figured he would work for Bowser. However, that's going to change.
In the next chapter, the Mario Brothers are going to investigate this meteorite.
