It stands to reason that Bowser was not a weak Koopa… However, lounging around for so long doing nothing but eating meat isn't exactly a great way to prepare for a fight with Mario of all people. "No… What… Happened… Where are my skills? That was not my "A" game… I mean, I've lost before but not THAT easily…"
What nobody had realized was two beings, one of pink and one of gold, were both standing (and floating?) behind the evil king, a reassuring aura surrounding them. "Yes! It was my star power and Peach's wish power! It weakened you, didn't it?!"
The realization hit harder than any of Mario's old attacks, his Hammers that always went missing, or the time when he threw Luigi at him full force (because there's no such thing as sibling abuse in the Mushroom Kingdom). "Whuh… What…" Voice now hoarser than a baby horse, Bowser strained to push himself up, only to feel everything weaken again.
"All right! Peach! Let's clean up the mess!"
An ever so soft ringing came from Peach's direction, as her hand lifted along with the Koopa King. With a single swift movement, he was flung out the castle, a Bowser-shaped hole now ingrained into the ceiling and two walls. As for why Peach never thought to use this power against him more often… Was anyone's guess. "Thank you, Mario. You've saved me once again. Thank you."
And so, in return for the plumber's heroic actions in saving the princess yet again, he received his usual reward of a kiss on the cheek (though he was wishing for some "cake" as well).
"Hey!"
Darkness.
"Hey!"
Light?
"Wake up!"
"Rgh…" The scenery now was a great forest, a soft clearing where he had landed.
"That oughta fix you up." Kamek, one of Bowser's many trustworthy minions spoke very calmly, her staff in hand.
"Those guys make me so MAD! Gah! It does NOT end like this!" Rage boiling, the Koopa King's head was back into gear with how to execute his next plan. "I'm going back to that castle and kidnapping Peach for real!"
"Unless… Mario's there, in which care he'll once again kick-"
"DON'T SAY THAT NAME!" The king of koopas could hardly contain his rage, to the point where it spewed forth in the form of his fiery breath. Luckily, no trees caught fire… Somehow. "Just thinking about it makes me RAGE!"
"Whoa… Chill out…" Donning her broom, Kamek began to levitate up again. Soon afterwards, flying off into the comedically placed sunrise.
"I'll chill nothing! I'm going to Peach's castle now!" On second thought after taking a quick scan of the area, only more rage built up. "Wait, where am I anyway?" Taking a step forward into the conveniently placed path, Bowser came to a trail of some sort, rocks and boulders in his path.
"Your Surliness!" Back came Kamek from near roasting to death. "There's a ton of boulders scattered around here. Use your fists to shatter them, and you can find a way through." Again, she turned tail and flew off back into the horizon with the sun.
"Hmph…" Walking up to the first boulder, Bowser raised his beefy arm, slamming his fist into it. A satisfying 'crack' came from it as it disintegrated into pure nothingness. Looks like it really was only the weird powers and not lounging around. He cleared multiple boulders, ignoring the way right and headed south. Who needs a compass when you've got Bowser senses after all. He'd been thrown out of Peach's castle that he knew at fifty different ways to get there. Now if only he'd put that much effort into something else, then the Mushroom Kingdom would be a much more peaceful place.
"Your Grouchiness!"
'I want to kill you for that.'
In flew Kamek again, only to stop right in front of the Koopa King. "This is a pretty dense forest, you oughta use your fire to burn trees." (Remember kids, forest fires are bad, don't light wildlife on fire!) "Careful, though. If you breathe flames for too long, you'll get tuckered out." After a few short words, Kamek flew off again, still ignoring the possibility of an uncontrollable forest fire.
Not a single care in the world, Bowser simply opened his mouth and rained death upon the trees, watching them burn into nothingness within seconds. Luckily, other trees didn't catch fire despite how close they were together. A path revealed to the southwest, in which he took. "Huh?" A hooded shadowed zipped off in front of him, a pipe in view distance. He took chase.
"YAY! A WINNER IS YOU!" He was soon halted by a high-pitched voice nearby. As the king approached, he realized that the voice had come from an odd, short hooded figure.
"What? Win what?!" Utterly dumbfounded, Bowser sized up the odd looking booth.
"JACKPOTTING!" The hooded figure responded as eccentrically as one might expect from… Actually, nobody in the Mushroom Kingdom was quite that eccentric.
"Your Burliness! What's going on?!" In walked Kamek who was no longer on her broom despite flying off just now… Or was this a different Kamek?
"The customer has luck! And with luckiness comes a tasty Lucky Shroom" The hood-wearing figure held up an oddly colored mushroom for all eyes to see.
"A Lucky Shroom?" The weird coloring slightly triggered something in Bowser, like an uncanny sort of feel. Mm...canned mushrooms. "I didn't even buy anything! What's this about jackpotting?!" (Remember kids, don't gamble, it's bad for you).
"Do not have worries for details! No, do not have the worries!" Whoever this guy was, one thing was clear to the koopa king… He had a funny way of talking. "Have the wonderful Lucky Shroom of tastiness instead! Scoff this down and your luck will power up to super luck! Luck enough to beat Mario!"
"Beat Mario?! Seriously?!" Wait, why does this figure even know Mario? Maybe he's a bigger celebrity… No, Bowser would dethrone him easily, even if it meant eating a weird mushroom.
"I say to you YES! With every attack, lucky hits will shower in a happy waterfall! You will have such fury! Your strongest enemies will fold like napkins who are crying!" Napkins who are crying? Where did this guy come up with this stuff?
"Your Beefiness! Dude is WEIRD. Don't eat that thing , seriously."
"What, didn't you hear him? It'll help me beat Mario! Duh!" Letting off a little anger felt nice digging into Kamek. Bowser then turned back to the figure holding the mushroom. "You! Weirdo! Gimme that Lucky Shroom!"
"Oh, yes, of course! ENJOY THE EATING!"
Bowser held the mushroom up to bask in its glory for a moment. He step forward, away from the booth and dropped the Lucky Shroom into his mouth, chewing it and giving it a good swallow. "Hurf! BUURF?!" His meaty hands shot for his mouth, a horrible feeling on the inside.
"What's wrong?! Your Queasiness! I told you not to snack on that thing!" Kamek turned to the hooded figure. "Hey! You creepy little weasel! What did you feed Bowser?!"
"AHAHAHAHAH!" The cloaked figure laughed aloud, removing his cloak and revealing a little green man in a snazzy red outfit. "Such easiness! So easy it gives me the gleeful chortles! I have such strategy! And now for the leaving. You are having a date with Peach's castle!" In a matter of seconds, the little green man was gone, floating away on an odd platform device.
"HAARGH!" A huge vacuum ripped everything surrounding Bowser into his mouth, as he constantly inhaled instead of barfing. He kept on breathing, until he felt his lungs fill. "Hrgh…!" He stepped forward, moving along to Peach's Castle.
Toads, houses, warp pipes, blocks, monsters, everything was sucked into Bowser as he moved closer and closer to the Castle, inhaling the doors of the castle itself and entering. "HUURGH!" The doors to the conference room opened, into his mouth came Toadsworth.
"Whoa!"
"HAARGH!"
"NEPU!" Time seemed to stop as two portals ripped open, one on both sides of Mario. Out came a lilac-purple haired girl, slamming into the plumber, sending him into the next portal. In a split second, she too disappeared into Bowser's vacuum.
Bowser stepped forward, another burst of suction erupting as only dust and air entered again. He moved forward again, noticing the sleeping brother. He opened his mouth, the suction powers activating as if on command.
"WAH!" Luigi jolted awake, only to find himself beginning to float. He flailed his limbs furiously, futilely as he slowly drew closer and closer to Bowser.
"Goodness!" Another two portals ripped open on either side of the taller brother, who was slammed into the second portal. Out the first portal came another lilac-purple haired girl, only her hair was longer than the first and significantly taller. Alas, her fate was the same as the rest, disappearing into the depths of Bowser's stomach.
"Gwa ha ha! Gwa ha ha… ah… ha… haaf…" A large 'thud' came from the king collapsing, as if the chess game had just been won.
"I HAVE VICTORY! Easy as bread sandwiches! And now for the proceeding with the plan I have planned!" Everything was falling right into place for the little green man. "Midbus! Come! Fawful calls you!"
"Of course… Lord Fawful…"
