Chapter 2-1

A Royal Meeting

Just on the other side of the Mushroom Kingdom was Boo Woods, a place notorious for being one of the scariest parts of the Kingdom. Creepy trees, stinky mud, and ominous background music. But what it was best known for was its inhabitants; you guessed it, Boos.

Their ruler, King Boo, was working on some of his card tricks in an old, abandoned mansion, unaware of the rampaging Koopacalypse that was going on outside of the woods. That's when one of his Boo Servants came through the door to see him.

"Your scariness," the Boo whispered.

"What's the news?" King Boo asked as he twirled a card around.

"King Bowser wants to speak with you," the Boo Servant whispered.

King Boo groaned. Every once in a while, Bowser would come and ask him to help him deal with the Mario Bros. in hopes of succeeding in kidnapping Peach. King Boo could already tell by the numerous schemes in the past that this time, whatever the plan is, it wouldn't work.

"Fine, let him humor me for a little bit," he sighed.

The Boo Servant creaked open the door to let in Bowser and his servants. When Bowser came in, though, King Boo seemed shocked to see him. Bowser wasn't the same as before.

He had burnt marks all over his scales, probably from the countless times he's been dropped into the lava, and his shell was cracked from top to bottom. The spikes and horns on him were chipped and scratched. His entire left arm was down to nothing but bones. And his hair had grown longer, and his eyebrows were fuzzier.

King Boo was a bit startled by all this. "Why, Bowser, old chum," he said, trying not to let Bowser's appearance distract him.

Bowser came closer with his minions, Ludwig, Iggy and two Hammer Bros.

"And, what might the almighty King of Koopas be doing in Boo Woods? Another 'Princess Kidnapping Plan'?"

"No…" Bowser said, in a much deeper voice than usual, "Princess Peach's game has already ended."

King Boo almost choked on his own drool after hearing this. He knew scaring the crap out of people was one thing but to kill someone would have to be serious. Even more so, he knew how much Bowser liked Peach. He knew he shouldn't be asking how it all happened, but his curiosity got the better of him.

"Well, I'm very sorry this happened Bowser, but I- "

"I killed her. Intentionally."

"Excuse me, what?"

"Without her in the way, I can rule all the land. I have enough Black Magic to create this wretched universe in my image!"

King Boo almost didn't know what to say. Bowser wasn't usually like this.

"You seem…different…"

He tried to change the subject, "Well, what about the Mario Bros.? Those Gullible Soup Sucking Losers! It's gonna cost you a good 200 coins for me to- "

"I didn't come for your assistance," Bowser interrupted, his voice getting louder. "I came to give you a warning. I've already took over Acorn Plains through Lemmy, the Layer-Cake Desert through Morton, and now, Iggy here shall be taking over Soda Jungle. Which includes Boo Woods."

"Boo Woods!? But I already control that area!"

"I will ask you only once: leave this place, and I will spare you…"

"Never! You've tested my patience for the last time, Bower!"

King Boo called to his minions, "Boos! Attack!"

"Koopa Pack! Attack!"

As soon as Bowser said that, a huge explosion went off in the back of the mansion. Wario and Waluigi were there, and they grabbed their Light Boxes and charged towards King Boo. While Ludwig and Iggy attacked the army of boos, Wario and Waluigi were shining bright lights in King Boo's face. The Hammer Bros. made sure that none of the boos escaped the mansion, they would finish off all of them. Then, as if time itself froze, a loud shriek was heard. King Boo was fading away…

"Curse…you…Bowser…" He faintly shouted, and he faded away as if he never existed.

Bowser grinned as he watched King Boo fall. He was definitely not like his usual self. He was more ruthless, cunning, and showed no mercy for anyone.

"Alright Iggy," he said to him, "The jungle's yours."

"Bahaha!" laughed Iggy, in his own demented laughter.

Bowser was now one step closer to taking total control of the kingdom. He could not be stopped.
