Chapter 1: Views from the past

Bowser sat in his war room thinking about all that has happened in the last 20 years. Ever since Mario disappeared things went to hell. He had been thrown into the role of savior when the Drabets invaded. He could remember when first they first invaded.

.:Flashback:.

It had been 1 month since the end of the Tournament. He had almost won if it hadn't been for that girl Zelda and her ability to transform into Sheik. He had just got to his war chamber and began planning his next invasion plan when one of his parakoopas busted in the room scared half to death. "You better have a good reason for busting in here otherwise I'll fry you on the spot," he said with flames escaping from his mouth.

"Sir some weird creatures have landed in some strange spaceships and are attacking the people of the kingdom."

"This is my problem how? In case you have forgotten I'm here to rule this world not save it. If someone gets rid of that thorn in my side how is it my problem?"

"Sir they attacked with these strange weapons that seemed to shoot concentrated light and they were heading for the castle when I left. They may come after you next."

"Ha let them come. By the way where was Mario while you were watching this attack? He usually shows up instantly to foil my plans when I invade."

"Sir we never saw him show up. He might have been somewhere else at the time but I'm not sure."

"Well if Mario is preoccupied with these aliens then that gives us the chance to get Peach."

"Sir does this mean we should prepare to march towards the castle."

"Of course this means we should go to the castle, prepare my ship for takeoff."

And with that Bowser head to the hangar to finally get what he longed for so long: the Mushroom Kingdom under his control and the hand of Princess Peach.

As he flew towards the castle it became more and more apparent that the kingdom really was in danger. The once mystic landscape was now burned and charred and litter with the bodies of its inhabitants. Never had Bowser seen such destruction on his homeland. He felt himself begin to feel a sense of pity for the people who had died by these invaders. It was probably the only time in his life that he actually wished Mario was here to save the day like he usually does. Suddenly one of the paratroopa squadrons came in over the intercom system, "sir, this is P.T. 1 reporting we are getting within site of the castle…oh my god! Sir you have to see this!"

"What is it," Bowser said not trying to show the fear in his voice.

"Sir the castle its its."

"Out with it you mindless peon."

"Sir, the castle is in ruins."

Bowser threw all caution into the wind as he activated his ships after burners and sped to what was left of the castle leaving his army behind.

As he arrived he immediately jumped out and began digging through the rubble. The damage was beyond comprehension and hundreds of bodies littered the ground, but Bowser didn't care about that all he wanted was to find Peach. As he continued to dig he heard a faint sound coming from under a pillar. Quickly Bowser rushed over to the pillar and using hi massive strength lifted up the pillar to find Peach lying underneath it. Quickly Bowser through the stone pillar like it was a stick and dropped down next to peach. From what he could tell she was badly hurt and losing blood quickly "Peach," he said looking down at here. "Bowser?" she said barely opening her eyes, "Where are my subjects?"

"You're the only one I've found alive."

"Where's Mario?"

"I don't know."

"Please Bowser, I know it's a stupid request but would you please save our homeland."

"What?"

"Please Bowser, I know its not like you but please this is the faith of our planet were talking about."

"How do you know I won't side with those invaders and betray you all to get control for myself?"

"Because I know you well enough that you won't give control to anyone."

"Fine I guess I could play the good guy for a change."

"Thank you Bow..."

With those final words she fell unconscious. He immediately picked her up with the utmost care and ran back to his ship. As he took off his army was arriving outside of the ruins of the castle. "Listen everyone back to castle," he said as flames escaped his mouth, "those things wanted a fight and now they got it, P.T. 1 and 2 search for any survivors and Mario."

As Bowser loaded the unconscious Peach into his ship and began to head back towards his castle. If he was going to win this battle he was going to need some help."
