The next morning Bowser woke up. King Dedede, Ganondorf, and Wario were still snoring quietly. Bowser sat up and rubbed his head. He slowly stood up and shuffled to the window. Bowser looked out the window at the woods. As he stared something caught his eye. He saw a quick flash of blue light out of the corner or his eye. As he turned to look at it, it was already gone. Bowser shrugged and turned around. Then put on his new cufflinks.

A grunt came from Ganondorf's bed.

"Ugh, morning already?" Ganondorf moaned.

"Yup. Good morning." Bowser said. Ganondorf sat up and they shared a kiss. Bowser's growling stomach interrupted the kiss.

"I'm hungry, lets get some breakfast." Bowser said.

Ganondorf nodded and snapped his fingers. His partially naked body was enveloped in purple smoke and Ganondorf was fully dressed.

"All right. Let's go." Ganondorf yawned.

When they entered the cafeteria, only a few smashers were there eating.

Samus, Zelda, and Peach were there gossiping. A few tables away from them Fox and Falco were talking, and Wolf was sitting next to them reading the newspaper.

"Mornin'" Wolf grunted to Bowser and Ganondorf as they walked by.

"Good morning, Wolf." Bowser said

"Looks like you two worked everything out?" Wolf asked as he looked up from the newspaper.

"Yeah. I was just being irrational last night." Ganondorf confessed.

"Ha. Yeah… Well, the eggs are good. The sausage gravy… eh … not so much." Wolf warned.

"Thanks, we'll keep that in mind." Bowser said as he walked up to the breakfast bar.

Bowser and Ganondorf joined the girls at the table.

"Hey guys! I haven't seen you two in awhile." Samus said as the guys sat down.

"We're pretty good." Ganondorf replied. "Bowser and I just celebrated out 5th year anniversary."

"Oh? That's sweet." Samus said.

"Yeah, we helped plan it." Peach said as she pointed to herself and Zelda.

"Yeah? I bet you two had a great time!"

"Yeah we did." Bowser said as he ate "The girls set us up in a big ballroom, and we danced. Then we went to space... yeah. You heard me. We went to mother fucking SPACE… where Ganondorf made me these." Bowser held up his wrists.

"Oh my god." Samus touched the cufflinks and then looked to Ganondorf. "You made these?"

"Yep. I figured I'd make Bowser something to show him how much I love him." Ganondorf explained.

"And they're super powerful. Made with magic and rocks from space. It's pretty intense." Bowser said, with a mouth full of eggs. There was a slight pause. "This bacon looks amazing!"

"You were hungry!" Ganondorf laughed as Bowser began to snack on his bacon.

"I—" Peach's statement was instantly interrupted by a loud crash from the smasher's lobby.

"What the hell was that?" Ganondorf asked. Everyone in the cafeteria stood up and ran to the lobby.

Wolf was the first to burst through the doors. He sighed in annoyance at what he saw.

"This fuckin' thing again?" Wolf said.

At the front of the lobby was a large purple mass. This time the mass was much larger than the encounter last night.

"Holy fuck!" Bowser shouted.

"Let's take care of this!" Wolf shouted.

But before they could take action two primids walked up from behind the purple mass.

"Primids!" Bowser gasped in anger.

The primids took a step forward, and threw their arms up in the air. The smashers stared as the primids began to shake. They slowly began to melt into purple a small purple mass, and their masses combined with the bigger one. The large mass grumbled and shook, then stopped.

The smashers waited, but nothing happened.

"Well… that was anti-climactic." Zelda stated.

"Yeah, I'm gonna get rid of this." Bowser laughed. Bowser took a deep breath and shot a large fireball at the mass; however, the flame didn't make contact. Before the flame struck, a small force field appeared and then threw the flame back with great force.

"Holy—" Bowser ducked, but Fox, Falco, and Wolf activated their deflectors and shot the flame into the wall.

"Insignificant fools!" The purple mass yelled.

"Did that thing just call me a fool?" Ganondorf asked.

"No. It called you an insignificant fool." Bowser stated.

"I finally have regained my energy!" The purple mass laughed. It then began to shutter, and started shift to the shape of a human. The shape drifted into the air, and the smashers stared in horror as the purple sludge dripped down to the floor, and a blue light began to shine. Soon a shining blue being was floating before them. Tabuu had returned.

Tabuu laughed as he flew into the air and stretched out his arms.

"Tabuu!" Bowser shouted.

"Ah! Bowser," Tabuu said as he looked down to Bowser "long time no see. Enjoying your fire breath?" Tabuu chuckled.

Bowser took a deep breath and shot a ball of fire at Tabuu. Tabuu lifted his hand and the flame instantly stopped.

"Ha! You're no match for me. I'm stronger than ever!" Tabuu flicked his wrist and the fire spun around his body a few times before shooting back to the smashers. The flame hit the ground and sparks flew around the smashers. Tabuu flew higher into the air. "But, do not fear. I'm not here to kill you. I'm only here for one thing." Tabuu turned his head to Bowser and flashed a smile. "Bowser, you're the only one that can destroy my…" Tabuu took a deep breath, "magnificence. So you're the only one I'm after."

"Over my dead body." Ganondorf said as he stood in front of Bowser.

"Well… If you insist." Tabuu chuckled. Tabuu threw out his hand and a golden chain shot from him, and struck Ganondorf in the chest. Bowser watched in horror as Ganondorf's crimson blood poured down Ganondorf's body, and hit the ground with an unruly splash. Tabuu swung Ganondorf around the room with the golden chain, Ganondorf screamed in immense pain, until Tabuu threw him down onto the ground. Ganondorf's screams stopped instantly, and the chain vanished.

"Ganondorf!" Bowser shouted, as Tabuu let out a loud laugh.

Bowser ran to Ganondorf's motionless body, then stared up at Tabuu and let out a menacing roar.

Tabuu chuckled. "Now that he's out of the way, I can focus on you."

"Bowser be careful!" Peach yelled.

"Peach, you're not helping!" Bowser yelled back.

"Now! You all shall witness the power of Tabuu!" Tabuu shouted. Tabuu flew up to the ceiling and then extended his wings. "Say goodbye to lover boy!" Tabuu laughed. Tabuu flapped his wings and a wave struck Bowser. Bowser flew up against the wall and in a flash Tabuu swooped down to him and pressed his hand against his throat.

Bowser gasped for air as he struggled to escape Tabuu's menacing grasp.

"Just give up. It'll make this a lot easier." Tabuu sneered. Tabuu raised his other hand slowly, then grabbed Bowser's forehead. Tabuu's hand started to glow, and Bowser roared in pain. It felt as if something was squeezing his brain. The pain caused Bowser to lose consciousness. Bowser body went limp and Tabuu drew his hand back.

"There!" Tabuu laughed. "I have all I need." Tabuu held out a small bright blue ball of light, smiled at it, grasped it tightly in his hand, then without another word he shot out of the ceiling.

Bowser's body fell to the ground and the remaining smashers stood into total shock. Wolf broke the silence.

"Quick! We have to get these two to the hospital wing!" Wolf shouted. Everyone scrambled and rushed to get Bowser and Ganondorf to Dr. Mario.

Once they were there, Bowser and Ganondorf were placed in adjacent beds. Ganondorf's chest wound was treated and bandaged up by Dr. Mario and he was the first to awake.

Zelda and Peach were in the hospital wings when he awoke.

"Peach, Zelda…" Ganondorf groaned as he gripped his head. "What happened." He tried to move but the intense pain in his chest prevented him from doing so.

"Tabuu attacked you and Bowser." Peach explained.

"Bowser? Is he okay?"

"He's been unconscious for awhile now." Zelda stated.

Ganondorf looked over and saw Bowser asleep on the bed. "Bowser… I… I hope you're okay."

Ganondorf looked back to Peach and Zelda. Nobody said anything, and so he turned his gaze up to the ceiling. They sat in silence, until Bowser let out a groan.

"Bowser?" Ganondorf shouted as he jerked over to look at Bowser.

Bowser opened his eyes and looked around.

"Bowser… are you all right?" Ganondorf asked.

"Yeah… " Bowser said as he gripped his head. Ganondorf noticed Bowser looked extremely confused. "But…"

"But what?" Ganondorf asked.

"Who… Who are you?" Bowser replied
