Koopa Commander Gregory
"WHA HA HA!" Bellowed Bowser as he slapped the table with an open claw. He was laughing at a joke Gregory had made about the "Super Stars" of the Mushroom Kingdom. The troublesome Mario Bros. were always the butt of all of his jokes at the dinner table. He was sitting at the front, with Bowser and his other eight children. He was sitting between Bowser, and Junior, the only child of the great Koopa that closely resembled him.
"Ha! That was a good one Bro!" Spouted Junior as he scarfed down bit after bit of meat on his large plate, similar to the manner of the Koopa King's eating habits.
"Yeah well, there's more! Did I tell ya the one where--" Gregory was cut off. There was a loud "BOOM" resonating in the castle followed by a violent rumble. The racket and disturbance was comming from the main gates of Bowser's Castle.
"Hey, what was--'BOOM'--that?! What the hell?!" The boy demanded. He put his rough hands flat on the table and got up immediately. "BOOM" a third time the parts of the castle near the main gates shook and rumbled. The disturbance was--"BOOM"--enough to send swarms of Koopas out of their rooms and into battle ready positions. Two Koopatrol gaurds ran into the gargantuan dinning room and towards Bowser and his children.
"X-nauts! Hundreds of--'BOOM'--them, Lord Crump is with them!" Shouted a Koopatrol, falling butt-first onto the floor, not prepared for the disturbance beneath his feat. Furniture and several objects on the wall that weren't nailed down were either shaking out of position or falling to the cold stone floors. Gregory's heart rattled with every disturbance, kind of like the feeling in your chest when you're up front in a loud concert. He dashed towards the wall, going for his armor that he'd removed prior to dinner. In a hurry, Greg put on his shoulder and knee pads, which were shed Spiny Shells, Gauntlets with "claws" on each finger, steel-toed boots, and a metal breast plate. He--"BOOM"--made his way to an exit that lead to a balcony that--"BOOM"--overlooked the main gates--"BOOM". He looked down to see a horde of X-nauts on the bridge that overlooked the pool of lava under the castle. And with them, Lord Crump in his--"BOOOOOOOOOM"--robot, which had finished off the gates, allowing X-naut grunts to pour in by the dozens. The robot, the Magnus Von Grapple, was apparently a newer version, rebuilt from the remains of the previous 'bot that Gregory had already trounced before. With an angry yell he lept down, landing on the glass semi-sphere of a cockpit, then leaping off of it sending the Magnus Von Grapple stumbling a bit, the boy landed behind it and onto the hard, flat bridge as the last few X-naut soldiers infiltrated the castle. Lord Crump steered the robot around and faced the boy.
"Buh buh huh huh huh! It's you! I see you've come to be crushed by my new toy!" laughed the X-naut general hautily, gripping the controls tightly in anticipation.
"You've said that twice already, except this time, I'm going to bust that lunch box into so many pieces, there'll be nothing left to rebuilt it with! Take this!" Yelled Gregory as he lept high towards the M.V.G, his staff poised for attack. The 'bot's right arm drew back as Greg drew his staff back for his strike against Crump.
