Author's Note: Sup guys! I decided to put up another story! :D Why am I posting two stories at once? Well, it's because they're all fully typed! :) This one may be slower at updates, since this story is much longer than my other (26 chapters, 88 pages on Google Docs, whereas The Powerpuff Princesses have 12-14 chapters and 25 pages). :P

Either way, I hope you enjoy! :D

Disclaimer: I don't own Mario, or any of its characters, they belong to Nintendo. Any of my OC's that appear in this story belong to me.

Chapter 1: Failed Again

It was a rainy day in the Mushroom Kingdom. It was not a good day for the evil king Bowser. He sat alone in his bedroom, grumbling to himself, and staring out the window.

"How do those Mario Brothers always defeat me?!" he mutters. "I come up with the most brilliant plans to try to defeat them and get my beloved Peach, but I'm always the one who's defeated! I don't understand! I've lost battles between those two every single time for the past fifteen years! I can't take it anymore! Maybe I should just give up doing evil."

A knock was suddenly heard on his door.

"Who is it?" Bowser barked.

"It's your son, Daddy," a voice answered from the other side. That voice belonged to Bowser Jr.

"Junior…" Bowser whispered. He sighed. "Come in." he said in a firm voice.

Bowser Jr. slowly opened the door. "What's the matter, Daddy?" he asked in a sad tone.

"Oh, Junior, it's just that I can't defeat Mario and Luigi, and I'm just bummed out, that's all," Bowser explained. "It's been fifteen years since I've met the Mario Brothers, and I just can't figure out how to beat 'em."

"That's okay, Daddy. You just keep trying until you succeed. That's what you've always told me," Bowser Jr. smiled and hugged his daddy. Bowser started to smile a bit.

"Thank you, son. You made me feel a little bit better now," Bowser said.

"No problem, Daddy!" Bowser Jr. nodded.

"Now, you can go back to whatever you were doing. Daddy wants to be alone for a while longer," Bowser told him.

"Okay!" Bowser Jr. said and walked out of the room. Almost that same moment, Kamek flew into the room.

"Your evilness, Lord Bowser," he said.

"Not now, Kamek. I'm bummed out," Bowser said, pushing him away.

"Your evilness, you have been locked in your room the entire day! Are you not hungry, or do you not want to see your kids, or something?" Kamek wondered.

"Kamek, I've been through this with you many times: I only have one child, not eight, and that one child is Junior, okay?" Bowser told him.

"I'm sorry… sometimes I forget."

"But anyways, you wouldn't understand what I am feeling right now."

"What do I… or would I not understand?"

"You don't understand how it feels like to fail and to be defeated."

"This is about your recent defeat by Mario and Luigi?"

"Not just my recent defeat. EVERY defeat. I get beaten by them every time I kidnap Peach and it's just so… frustrating sometimes!" Bowser whined. "I create these brilliant plans, and they're always foiled by the plumbers in red and green! I just can't take it anymore! I don't want to stop being evil, it's my life and my love, but I think I should just give up on it."

"Bowser, don't beat yourself up like this! You're an evil genius!" Kamek told him.

"You're just trying to make me feel better… but it's not working," Bowser said. "I need a really good idea, or I can just throw my membership to Evils R' Us away…"

Him and Kamek became surprisingly quiet. After about ten minutes of silence, Kamek suddenly made a wicked grin. "How about you make clones?" he suggested.

Bowser gave him a dirty look. "Clones of who?"

"Clones of Mario and Luigi."

"Are you freaking serious?! You want me to make clones of Mario and Luigi so that I can get defeated twice as often?!" Bowser roared, grabbing Kamek by the neck.

"You didn't let me finish!" Kamek squeaked, trying hard to breathe. Bowser let go of his neck, and poor Kamek took big gasps of air.

"Continue, Kamek," Bowser ordered.

"You could make evil clones of Mario and Luigi… they would help you take control of the Mushroom Kingdom… maybe all the kingdoms if you really wanted to… and then you'll finally get Princess Peach's love and affection, as well as power!" Kamek chuckled.

Bowser thought about it for a moment. "Evil clones... that's not a bad idea, but ain't that technically Mr. L and Mr. M?" he asked.

"Alter egos, not evil clones, Bowser. They separated bodies from Mario and Luigi, and I believe after that big fiasco happened a few years ago, the kingdom hasn't had a problem with them… remember?" Kamek pointed out. "I know one is in prison and the other hasn't been seen since then."

Bowser smacked his head. "Oh, yeah! That's why it's been a lot less crazy!" he nodded. He stopped. "Alright then. But I can't control all the kingdoms!"

"Why not?" Kamek asked.

"It'll take too long," Bowser said. He thought about it. "I think that… we should obviously control the Mushroom Kingdom... I want Princess Peach, just to keep that as a fact… then maybe Sarasaland and the Sprixie Kingdom… I still want those fairies."

"Why those ones?"

"The others don't really matter to me."

"Wouldn't the Beanbean Kingdom be a better choice than the Sprixie Kingdom? And if not, couldn't you have just taken over it anyway?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because of that sickening Bean Fever… Mario got it, and truly, I don't want to get it myself," Bowser explained. "And referring back to the clone thing… wouldn't you need Mario and Luigi for it?" Kamek nodded. "Okay. But the thing is how the hell are we gonna even capture Mario and Luigi? They become suspicious very easily, remember that."

"Leave that to me, Bowser. I think a have a plan," Kamek volunteered.

Bowser grinned. "Excellent, my Kamek! You just made me get my thing back!" he roared in evil excitement. He walked over to his window and looked out at the rainy Mushroom Kingdom. "Watch out, Mario and Luigi… because Bowser ain't finished just yet!"

Author's Note: Well, Bowser was wiped from his sappy mood, and that's a good thing... right...? And they're gonna try to kidnap the Bros! But how...?
