AND NOW...
I, King Bowser Koopa King, present to you, the sixth chapter from the House of Koopa subtitled,
-A GIGA-Sized Finale!-
~v~
Round Three…
"Ay…Mama mia…"
Mario turned to see everyone that was in the room floated around him dazed and confused. The sky was red and black with lightning occasionally streaking rocks, bricks and columns hovered all about. He shivered; this strange dimension made his skin crawl…
"Mario!"
Luigi flew over to his brother happy to see him. Daisy and Yoshi were right behind him.
"This is all your fault!" The heroes turned around to see Kammy and Kamek swimming over to them. Kammy continued angrily, "If you hadn't made Master Bowser upset, we wouldn't be in this mess!"
"I'a beg to differ ye old hag!" Luigi objected, "This is'a all you'se guys fault! If you'a hadn't kidnapped de Princess, we wouldn't'a had to come rescue her!"
Kamek looked around nervously. "Shut up you two! It doesn't matter at this point! Bowser's gone mad! He's going to destroy everything if we don't get him some help! Did you hear what he said!"
Daisy nodded solemnly, "He doesn't think life is worth living anymore. He's going to kill himself, along with all of us!"
Yoshi frowned, "We have to stop him! Wherever he is..."
Kamek agreed, "Exactly! Kammy and I will help."
"We will?" The old woman repeated, questioning her partner.
"YES! We will! We have to get him back to normal. That Dark magic has corrupted his mind! He's thinking like this because he's under the influence!"
Luigi frowned disappointingly, "Under the'a influence…what a shame."
Mario smirked, "Okay! We'll'a join forces to-"
"MAAAAAARIO!" The joined group turned to see Princess Peach swimming for them.
"It's the Princess!" Kammy yelled in shock. The allied characters flew to her just as something colossal appeared behind them. Peach gasped. Looking at it caused the others to turn around to see what captured her attention.
It was Bowser.
He was still black and red, but this time, he was big enough to eat them all in one bite.
They all yelped incredulously as the beast glared down at them with pure black eyes. He then opened his mouth and unleashed a burst of black wind at them. The gust was so strong that it blew them all away, splitting them up…
~v~
"Ugh…Where am I?"
Princess Daisy looked around confused. She was all alone - at least she thought she was. Daisy scanned the area and saw Kammy Koopa unconscious by a pillar. The woman flew down to her and began shaking the old Koopa.
"Wha-huh?" she mumbled coming to.
"Get up you old hag! We were separated from the group!"
Kammy got up and put her hat on. "Don't call me a hag, you weed!" She snapped, causing Daisy to growl.
They were about to go at it until Bowser unexpectedly showed up in front of them in a flash of light. Kammy screamed and dropped her teeth. Daisy gasped as the savage Koopa opened his mouth. Instead of blowing them away, he expelled an enormous black fireball. Daisy grabbed the elderly magi-woman, who was busy trying to grab her floating teeth, and flew off evading the massive attack. The desert princess thought she was escaping when abruptly the King popped in front of her.
"Oh no!"
Shadow Bowser immediately spat another dark fireball at them. Kammy screeched and evaded the attack, as did Daisy.
"Looks like Bowser's not going to let us escape. We gotta fight!"
Kammy Koopa refused, "You must be mad! I can't attack my lead-"
Daisy grabbed her and shook her by the shoulders, "DO YOU WANT TO BE WORSHIPING YOUR LEADER FROM THE UNDERWHERE!"(1)
"Well I-"
"DO YOU!"
"NO!" Kammy spat as Daisy grinned. Both of them looked towards the Monster, as he charged up for an even more powerful dark fireball attack.
"Then, let's do this! Attack him with all you got old woman! Don't let me down!" Daisy said, despite their chances of victory. Kammy shook her head, unsure of herself.
"LET'S BUST HIM UP!" Daisy yelled cracking her knuckles as Kammy did her battle cry.
"'Okey-dokey!' No! I mean, Magic-Time!"
"Now, weaken him!" The princess ordered. The Magikoopa closed her eyes and began waving her scepter at him saying strange words.
Shadow Bowser stopped charging and fired a colossal shadow fireball at them. Daisy gasped, "KAMMY!" The witch opened her eyes and fired her own spell at the attack. Immediately, the black fireball shrunk to the size of a Banzai Bill lowering its attack power and speed. The Sarasaland monarch cheered as she easily moved out the way of the black fireball. "Good job girl! Now lower his defenses! I have a plan!"
Kammy nodded and began chanting again, waving her wand at the King. Bowser growled and raised his arm as his claws grew to razor-sharp sword-like talons. Kammy finished and swung her weapon, firing a spell at the beast instantly lowering his defense. However Shadow Bowser, however, still slashed at them. Kammy shrieked as she shoved Daisy out of the way and, instead, took the full force of Bowser's claw. The attack knocked her right into a slab of rock, once again making her drop her teeth. Daisy flew down to her quickly to make sure she was okay.
"Kammy!"
The old Koopa sat up and yelped in agony. "Ahh! That really hurt...Hand me my wand…"
Daisy looked around and saw it was floating a foot from them. She grabbed it and handed it to her partner. "Are you okay Kammy?"
Kammy smirked, "Watch this." She then spoke a few words and pointed it at herself as it cast a green and white smoke around her. She glowed, and, like magic, she was healed. With a groan, she got up and laughed, "It's not easy to put me down deary! I'm as sturdy as a rock!" Those words weren't out of her gummy mouth completely when she was suddenly blasted in the face by a flaming darkball. Daisy yelled surprised by the attack. She turned to see Bowser glowering down at them.
"Oh, so you wanna play like that, huh! Well, let's do this Koopa. BRING IT ON!" She screamed as a special item appeared in her hand. It was the tennis racket she used in the Mario Power Tennis tournament. She focused on it and held it in the air as colorful petals grew all around it. "I'm gonna knock you back into last Tuesday!"
Bowser opened his mouth and once again fired another shadowy fireball at her. Daisy got in place and charged up her weapon. Suddenly, the black fireball grew to a massive size. Daisy stood in awe at the incredibly large ball of fire of nearly engulfing stature.
"What? I can't hit that." she said hopelessly.
"Oh yes you can!"
Daisy's racket shined and then suddenly grew in size. Kammy floated to her collaborator with a toothy grin. "Batter up! Time to show him the might of the Wonder Flower!" Daisy yelled as she smirked, prepared to follow through on her swing.
Screaming, the flower woman swung at the flaming black orb as hard as she could. Shadow Bowser's face contorted to disbelief when he realized the dark ball was coming back at him – covered in Daisies! He yelled as it exploded right in his face, sending him across the dimensional abyss out of sight. The two women shouted in praise seeing the Koopa vanish in the distance.
~v~
"He's coming…"
"Say what?"
The Koopa wizard scanned the area slightly nervous. "Bowser! He's going to kill us!"
Starlow followed him as he flew around looking for the others. "Are you going to fight when he shows up?"
Kamek paused, "I have no choice…"
"I know you won't like it, but you know what has to be done. We have to save ourselves before we can save him!"
"I know…it's just. I've raised Bowser since he was a 'lil tyke, even though my mother thought it was very unbecoming of me."
Starlow looked at him closely, "Why did you decide to be Bowser's Royal caretaker?"
He thought about and smiled, "I did it because his father was like a brother to me." His smile quickly faded away, "That is… before he vanished."
"Vanished?"
"One day, King Morton Sr. disappeared. He left a letter that told me it was his time to go. His son was to be King, and that there could be only one King. He had to leave by tradition. Therefore, he left me to take care of young Bowser and turn him into a ruthless tyrant, just like his father." Starlow nodded as he went on, "However, I hated how Morton just up and left his son. So I made sure that Bowser wouldn't grow up with that tradition. I wanted him to stay with his children and be more than a King…he needed to be a Dad. That's why Bowser is still around with his children. But, that's also why I'm still here and not doing my own thing. That big oaf, and his kids… are my family…"(2)
The Star spirit smiled, "Aw…that's was sweet of you Kamek; and here everyone always thinks you're some old stick-in-the-mud who kisses butt-cheeks all day!"
The Magikoopa shook his head, somewhat smiling, "Yeah, whatever." He then felt a presence near them. His eyes widened in alarm, "HE'S HERE…"
"REALLY? Where is he?" Starlow asked looking about.
"…Right in front of us." Kamek said coldly.
Shadow Bowser materialized before them, still as big as ever. He sneered at them, and they backed up. Starlow prepared to defend herself and Kamek got in an attack position. He didn't want to fight his "son", but he had no other option. He had to fight.
"HELLO YELLOW!"
"What? What kind of Battle cry is that?"
"Just do yours!"
"Fine…um…MAGIC-TIME!"(3)
Immediately, the Koopa wizard started firing spheres of magical energy at the King of gloom and doom. Unfortunately, the magic barely tickled him. Kamek gasped and teleported away from Bowser's claw swipe.
"My attacks aren't powerful enough to overwhelm his Dark magic!"
Starlow began to think, "What if we use his own attacks against him!" She suggested as he thought about it.
"That may be the ticket! His magic should be powerful enough to damage himself!"
"…Then, let me handle this!" She told him as he nodded.
He enchanted a bunch of floating objects and sent them flying at Bowser in hopes of angering him. "He's all yours!" Kamek said to her before getting out of the way as the monster seemed ready for another attack. The Star Spirit readied herself and stood directly in front of him. Out of Shadow Bowser's massive jaws exploded a powerful Black fireball, headed straight for Starlow.
The yellow bulb focused all her energy on the dark sphere, and watched as it turned a yellow hue and gradually decreased in speed. She smiled and pressed on harder, planning to circle it around her and send it back twice as strong. However, she wasn't strong enough. The attack was too much for her to control. Starlow cried out as it broke through her powers and came at her even faster. She was doomed.
That is, until Kamek suddenly appeared before her. Without a second thought, he grabbed her, and teleported away.
They reappeared behind a bunch of shattered pillars and crumbled walls. Starlow breathed a sigh of relief, "You saved my life Kamek! Thank you!"
"You're welcome; but I had to! If you were destroyed by that, I'd be left alone to defeat him! I couldn't let my temporary partner be defeated. Besides…I have a way to make this battle come to a screeching halt." He explained with a grin as she looked at him curiously.
He backed up from her and began waving his wand at her while chanting words. The Magikoopa then started flying high in the air while waving his scepter. With a cackle, he began to circle her from above speedily while a colorful mist came from his weapon. Starlow started coughing as she felt the effects of the sorcery.
Kamek floated in front of her proud of his work. She eyed him puzzled, "Kamek! You've shrunken!"
"Aha, no! I believe it is you who has grown!"
She looked around to see that everything, indeed, was much smaller! "Wow! I'm huge!"
"Indeed! Though you're nowhere near Bowser's size, you can still repel his attack!"
Starlow smirked, "Alright! Let's do this!" Kamek touched her foot, and once again, they teleported away, appearing right before Shadow Bowser. The beast growled and immediately exhaled a mouthful of black and purple flames. Starlow used her new upgraded power to stop the brute's flames. She then zipped away happily, followed by the wizard.
"AWESOME! Let's go Big Boy! Give me your worse!" she taunted, as Shadow Bowser snarled, opening his mouth and fired another powerful dark fireball at her. She was the same size as it, causing her to smile. She simply gazed at the fireball, causing it to freeze. She then whirled it around her body and slung it back at Bowser.
Bowser wasn't falling for it once again. He received enough from Daisy. With a grunt, he vanished and reappeared behind them. The two heroes gasped as he exhaled powerful flames at them, destroying everything the flames touched. Kamek sneered and warped him and his partner away safely and rematerialized behind Bowser.
Starlow turned to her partner, "I didn't expect that!"
The Koopa shook his head annoyed, "We need a distraction!"
She sighed, "We just have to wing it! You keep pelting him and I'll hold it back and sling it back while he's preoccupied!" They came to an agreement and faced the Koopa, "YO! FAT-MAN!"
Bowser spun around and snorted smoke in anger. He quickly charged up his next attack and fired another powerful dark fireball at them. This time however he tricked her and fed it more dark flames causing it expand to planet-size. She gasped and was about to call Kamek to help her when out of nowhere six figures flew past them screaming, dipped around the fireball, and jumped the enormous King.
Kamek was flabbergasted seeing them. "KOOPALINGS!" O.O
Larry, Morton, Wendy, Iggy, Roy, and Lemmy all were attacking their monstrous father. They were biting him, flinging magic attacks at his head and whatever necessary to distract him.
Starlow grinned and began trying to stop the giant planet of fire. If she was still small she would have never been able to control it, but now at a much bigger size, she had a chance. With a grunt she moved it slowly around her and Kamek and watched as the wizard empowered the massive flaming shadowball with various spells. She then yelled out and with all her being, swung it around her three times giving it speed and on the final spin she hurled it at Shadow Bowser.
"MOVE OUT!" Roy commanded as the Koopalings all flew off at once.
Shadow Bowser was so busy attacking at the kids that he wasn't even paying attention. He noticed it but once again he was too late to do anything about it. It slammed into his snout and exploded. It was the second time that he was hit with his own attack and blasted across the dimension. He screamed as he vanished far in the distance.
The Koopalings swam over to their caretaker excited and celebrating the win. Kamek was overjoyed seeing his munchkins. Starlow on the other hand was interested in something far away. She noticed on her left the outlines of Bowser's many minions racing for a certain point in the middle of the dimension…"Where are they going?" She turned to the Koopas behind her still talking and cut them off, "This isn't over yet guys! We have to find the others! To start off…" She gestured towards the baddies on her left, "Let's follow those underlings!"
~v~
Luigi peeked from behind a piece of castle wall looking for any signs of the big bad Bowser. He came out from behind it and scurried over to another pillar carefully looking for any of his friends.
"Maaaario? Daaaaisy? Yooooshi?" He waited and listened for any sounds of his people. But he heard nothing. "Where is'a everybody?"
He inched a bit farther from his hiding places and began calling out to them louder, "MAAAAARIO! DAAAAAISY! YOOOOOS-"
"LUIGI!"
The green brother yelped hearing his name and flew back down to the debris hiding, "Whoever you are STAY BACK OR I'LL SCREAM REALLY LOUD AND'A GIRLY-LIKE!" he threatened cowering behind the wall.
"Luigi!"
"Hey…wait, I know that'a weird little voice…" Luigi glanced from the behind the rocks and saw that it was only Yoshi. He came from behind his fort and flew over to him, "Yoshi!"
"Yoshi finally found someone! Yoshi don't know where the others are though…" The green dino said looking around. His friend started thinking.
"Well, if there not fighting Bowser than there headed to'a the heart of the dimension." He said pointing to the bright red light straight ahead.
The lizard smiled, "Let's go then! That's where the others no doubt will be headed!"
They swam for the center quickly hoping to find the others when they were suddenly stopped.
The being stood in front of then peeved and furious. The heroes glared at him prepared to defend themselves.
It was none other than Ludwig Von Koopa…
He snarled at them viciously, "You and you're stupid brother thought you could just beat me and call it a day huh! Well not this time!"
"Hey Rapunwig! Look'a around! We don't have time to deal with you and you'a hair! Your papa could show up any minute!" Luigi yelled annoyed.
Ludwig took a gander at the world around him and turned to them halfway, "You mean my father has something to do with this…strange place?"
"Yeah! And he's going to destroy us all! INCLUDING YOUR WHOLE FAMILY!"
The hairy prince looked at them in disbelief, "Ha ha, my father for one, would never do that, and two, he doesn't have this much dark magic at his disposal!"
"I beg to'a differ ye Koopa of wigs! After we beat him he exploded in darkness yelling that he'a had no reason to live anymore! So he went 'Koopa Kraaaaazzzzy' and decided to kill everyone he ran into!" Ludwig glowered at him refusing to believe the Italian man.
"Yoshi and others including Kammy and Kamek have already decided to form a temporary alliance to beat some sense in him!" Yoshi added.
Luigi smirked, "I'a would allow you to join this established club but I'm afraid you don't'a have a membership card. Tough luck young buck!"
The Koopa teen shook his head smiling, "You fools would say anything to get out of being trounced. Unfortunately I'm far too brilliant to be outsmarted by the likes of you two." He grinned as his hair started to move erratically. "Let's see if you can beat me without your precious psychic and mushroom-eatin' leader!" He yelled as he forced his hair to attack them.
"Okey-Dokey!"
"EEEYAAAHOOOO!"
The two warriors swiftly dodged the tentacles of hair and flew around the Koopaling thinking of a strategy. Ludwig tried to keep his eyes on them but it was hard for him to keep track. Luigi was about to strike at him when all of a sudden his old hiding place exploded.
The three turned to find an enormous dark fireball coming straight at them. They screamed and swam out of the way as quickly as they could. Luigi looked to see that is was who was feared more than anything at that point. Shadow Bowser.
The prince turned and grinned seeing it was his father. He flew over to the beast, "FATHER!" He paused once he got a good look at Bowser. "Huh?" He noticed the King of Koopas had an entirely different color scheme. It was quite shocking for Ludwig to see. Shadow Bowser glared down at the Koopa and opened his mouth wide as purple and black flames were brought up to his jaws and erupted outward attempting to fry the Koopaling. "What?" He was stunned as he watched the flaming death spiral fill his full vision. Ludwig would have been roasted if it wasn't for the pull on his hair that sucked him backwards just in time.
Luigi used his Poltergeist 3000 sucking the teen's hair into the vacuum. He then dragged the prince behind another wall hiding along with his trusty steed. Ludwig was staring blankly as Luigi expelled his blue locks out of the machine. Yoshi got in front of the Koopaling and waved in front of his face trying to get his attention.
"Ludwig? Hey! SNAP OUT OF'A IT!" Luigi yelled hitting him on the back of his noggin.
"My father…just tried to kill me…he almost murdered his own son…! ME!" He muttered amazed.
Yoshi frowned, "Don't worry! Kamek thinks it was just the side effects of the Dark magic he used earlier! He's under the influence!"
Luigi crossed his arms disappointed, "Under the influence…what a shame."
"What are we going to do Luigi?" Yoshi asked as the plumber thought about it.
He sat down in the 'Thinker' pose as a Goomba started sketching him down hastily. "Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm… Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…Ummmmm…Uggh-"
Yoshi groaned, "LUIGI!"
"Hmm? What?"
"We need a plan!"
"And you're asking'a me why?" :3 "You know that's usually Mario's thing! I usually just follow along!"
"Come on Luigi! You'll always be in Mario's Shadow until you step out into the spotlight and show everyone what you can do!" The fruit-eater told his friend honestly.
The second-banana thought about the words said to him. He knew they were right and he knew he needed to get a plan. With a stern face he got serious and let his mind stir up a fresh plan. It only took him a few seconds before one got caught by the mental Pider that was his mind. With a brave posture and a fierce grin he opened his mouth prepared to 'WOW!' his anxious friend.
"I-"
"This is what we'll do." Ludwig interrupted callously causing Luigi to trip and fall flat on his mug dejectedly. He went on uncaring, "In order to get my father's act together we need to get him in the head. So the plan is this. Yoshi and I will throw rocks at him while you Luigi use your vac to suck up rocks and expel them at his head. With so many projectiles hitting him his brain should fix itself!"
Luigi jumped up sneering, "You sunk my mental battleship!" He accused pointing at him angrily. The Koopa Prince closed his eyes shrugging.
"We're under attack. You took too-" The green menace cried out in frustration and tackled him. Yoshi watched them annoyed as Luigi banged the prince's head against a wall. Unfortunately the very wall in front of them suddenly blew up blasting them all away a few feet. They all turned to find that the monster had at last found their hideout.
Ludwig growled, "Thanks a lot Luigi! Now he's got us!" He looked at their dino accomplice, "Initiate the strategy!"
Yoshi locked on to a boulder and gulped it down and 'pooped' it out. He then aimed and fired it high into the air at the Koopa's head. Ludwig at the same time used his locks to grab a large pillar piece and then hurl it at Shadow Bowser.
Unfortunately Bowser easily swatted them back. Yoshi dodged his returned egg and Ludwig instead grabbed the pillar piece from the air and swung it around him and back at Bowser. Luigi surprisingly pulled out his Tennis Racket and turned it into his Squeaky Hammer.(4) He quickly flew behind Yoshi and whacked the egg upwards over the lizard aiming it so that it would strike the King's snout. The shadow monster saw this and slapped the Egg back as well as Ludwig's attack. Yoshi swiftly swallowed another boulder and fired the eggy-rock at Bowser while dodging the egg sent back at him allowing Luigi to hammer the hard-boiled item right back. Shadow Bowser growled seeing the projectiles headed back at him. Smartly he simply teleported and reappeared behind them. They gasped and luckily were able to outmaneuver the King's claws. Ludwig sneered and hurled two rocks this time at his savage father while Yoshi popped out another large egg and hurled it once again with Luigi ready to reflect them. It was as if the four were playing Power Tennis with a touch of Dodge ball. The dark creature was onto their scheme though. He once again vanished appearing behind them completely evading the attacks. This was seriously making Ludwig furious. His plan was failing and he had no alternative.
"Yoshi! Turn'a Ludwig into an egg!" Luigi told his buddy whispering loudly so only they could hear. "When Bowser teleports throw it backwards so it'a will hit Bowser and Ludwig can blind him so we can get'a the final hit!"
Once again the Koopaling and Yoshi hurled their weapons at Shadow Bowser. And just like before the King of Darkness pulled a 'Now you see me-' on them. Immediately Yoshi acted. He shot his long tongue at Ludwig surprising him and slurped him up. He then farted him out, grabbed the blue egg and launched it at the spot where Bowser would appear right on time. The egg struck him right in the face. Ludwig looked into his father's black eyes a bit frightened by the empty feeling…He then flung all of his tresses forwards getting into Shadow Bowser's large eyes. The monster cried out in pain unintentionally allowing himself to be wide open. Ludwig knew what had to be done. He sadly used his claws to slash through his hair at his desired length and swam away as quickly as he could.
He flew back down to the rocks scattered around them and wondered how he was going to fling them without his magical hair. Luigi stood in front of him, "We got this part!"
"Yeah! You use that wand of yours to cast magic on Yoshi's egg! That way it'll be more powerful when it hits!" The egg-shooter told the Koopa teen. Ludwig took out his scepter and got ready.
Yoshi smirked and saw a bulky boulder. He wrapped his tongue around it and gobbled it down and after a few seconds of constipation, sweating, and hand-holding from Luigi; he was able to pass the giant egg. He quickly lifted it up and tossed it upwards. That was when Ludwig began firing magic spells at it turning it blue and green. Yoshi then jumped out the way and allowed Luigi to take his place. The Italian plumber swung backwards and just at it came back down to him he let it rip. He put his back into the swing. It struck the egg and sent it flying into Bowser's hairy blue face like a missile.
It exploded upon contact and knocked the screaming beast backwards farther than ever before.
The guys celebrated as Bowser's son looked in the distance saddened by his hair-loss and his deranged father.
Luigi then heard a familiar call for him. "LUIGI!" He spun around and saw her.
"DAISY!" He flew over to her and they hugged tightly.
And then they suddenly broke into song.
"I THOUGHT I LOST YOU when you ran away to try ta find me!" They sang in harmony with country accents. "I THOUGHT I'D NEVER SEE YOU'RE SWEEEEET FACE AGAIN! I TURNED AROUND AND YOU WERE GONE-AND-ON-AND-ON THE DAYS WENT! But I kept the moments THAT WE WERE IN! And I hoped in my heart, YOU'D COME BACK TO ME MY FRIEND AND NOW I'VE GOT YOUUU! BUT I THOUGHT I LOST YOUUUU!"
Yoshi rolled his eyes as Luigi took the spotlight while wearing a large cowboy hat and holding a green microphone. "I told myself I wouldn't sleep 'til I searched the world from Sea-2-Seeeeeaaaa!" Daisy ran to his side also with a microphone.
"I MADE A WISH UPON A STAR AND SAT AROUND AND THERE YOU WERE-" Luigi jumped in, "NOW HERE WE ARRREEE-ARRRR!" The plumber went silent as she continued, "Here we are…" They looked into each other's eyes as she opened her mouth and went on, "I thought I lost you!"
"I thought I lost you too…!" He had tears in his eyes as she repeated her line.
Daisy smiled, "I thought I lost you…"
"I thought I lost you!" ;O;
"YEAH!" They went in sync again, "I THOUGHT I LOST YOU when you ran away to try to find me! I THOUGHT I'D NEVER SEE YOU'RE SWEET FACE AGAIN! I TURNED AROUN-"
"AHHHHHH! WILL YOU TWO PLEASE SHUT UPPPP! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" D8 Kammy screamed hitting the boiling point. The singing couple paused in the middle of Daisy twirling Luigi. "I MEAN SERIOUSLY! I highly doubt the fans want to read you two idiots singing a song by Miley Cyrus and John Travolta! I sure don't!"(5)
Ludwig smirked, "Say Good-bye to the reviews." He muttered as the princess shrugged and gave her man a tissue to wipe his eyes.
"I thought we'a did a great job…" ;~; Luigi moaned as Daisy patted his back.
"Don't worry boo, we did…she's just jealous."
Kammy swam over to her charge, "Anyways, Master Ludwig how are you! Where's your siblings!" She asked as he turned to her.
"I'm miserable and I have no idea where they are." He told her, "We have to find my father and help him get his mind together. If he kills himself out of this crazy depression then we'll never know who the heir to the throne will be." She nodded.
Daisy looked at them, "Did you guys run into Bowser too?"
"You bet we did! He tried to kill us! But we fought back and sent him flying!" Yoshi answered as she smirked.
"Alright! Well follow me and Kammy! We have a hunch that the center of this weird place is at that light!" She told them pointing to the small red dot behind them. They all stared at it.
"Than that's where we'll'a go!" Luigi said standing in front of them while holding Daisy's hand, "Come! Follow Weegie…to VICTORY!"
She slowly swam through the emptyish confines of the dimension…She was completely lost and alone. Where was everyone? Was Bowser doing away with them and saving her for last? Would he actually kill her? These were the thoughts swiveling through Peach's mind as she slowly searched for her friends.
Randomly the Princess stopped cold. She felt something behind her…
Slowly she rotated around and gasped seeing him.
"Mario…?" She whispered seeing the familiar red and blue figure standing directly in front of her. He was hunched over a bit and his face was darker than usual. She floated over to him carefully. "Is that really you?"
She then felt another presence behind her. Her head snapped around to find it was Bowser. He was back to his normal size but was still the colors of black and red. He looked at her with sad red eyes and reached out for her. He seemed to be giving her one last chance to choose him…
The woman gazed at him sadly, "Bowser…I…I can't." With those words she turned away from him and closed her eyes. "I don't love you and I never will." She told him softly as a tear fell from her eyes.
She opened her eyes and looked at the Mario in front of her. Immediately she let out a scream seeing the plumber's crimson eyes and sadistic sneer displayed on his hairy face. He at once wrapped his hands around her neck and began to squeeze her eyes screamed for her as her attacker tightened his grip. She struggled but failed to break loose. There was only one thing could do. She closed her lids and opened them revealing pure white eyes. (6)The next thing the Mario replica knew was that giant white and pink wings grew from her back and a bright white light exploded from her blasting the figure away from and into a floating throne chair. Instantly she reverted back to normal and began trying to fill her lungs back with air.
Unfortunately…'Mario' wasn't down.
The vile character got up and floated to her looking angrier than ever. Peach looked up through her hair to see him getting closer. She didn't know what else to do. She closed her eyes knowing the end was right in front of her.
For some reason though, the replica's eyes widened as a bright orange light appeared behind the woman of pure heart. (7)Suddenly powerful flames rushed past Princess Peach causing her hair to blow in the gust of wind as the fire went around her and reconnected crashing into the fake. Princess Toadstool watched amazed as her attacker was hit with the inferno of rage. After a while the fire stopped and she discovered that the copy was gone…
Peach turned around to see her knight in shining red and white armor pissed off and snarling at the spot where the fake plumber vanished. "MARIO!" She shouted crying. He looked at her and flew up to his Princess. They were almost together once again when the bogus Mario reappeared in between them. The real hero stopped and got in his fighting pose angrily.
The Mario duplication then started glowing as darkness appeared all over him. Peach watched as the fake started to grow and change into his true form. Shadow Bowser.
The giant roared and sneered at them both. Fire Mario took out his mallet and held it tightly. Bowser turned and faced the minuscule hero fully ignoring the Princess. He lifted his massive head and let out a roar. Automatically countless pieces of rock, wall, and everything platform-like flew from all around and placed themselves under Mario and Bowser resembling a large warped arena. Mario also lost his Zero-gravity. He fell to the floor and growled getting to his feet. Shadow Bowser dropped onto the stage and glared down at his nemesis.
Bowser stood in front of him and without a single warning he vanished and reappeared behind Fire Mario. The plumber didn't even get a chance to dodge the brutal swipe of his claws. The attack knocked the hero across the floor. He slowly got up grumbling. Thankfully he was still holding onto his weapon. He prepared to swing his hammer watching the brute's every move. Shadow Bowser opened his mouth and three flaming balls of darkness shot out aimed for Mario.
The plumber ran around the area escaping their collision. He then charged up his fire power and launched a large ball of flames at the beast. Shadow Bowser easily flew out of the way. He then ducked under the stage.
Fire Mario growled and began looking around trying to find the monster. He had no idea that Shadow Bowser was about to burst right from under him. Mario yelped as he was knocked high into the air by the evil King. He landed near the edge of the area. Groggily he got up and held onto his mallet. He had no clue how to defeat Bowser this time. With a grunt he faced him. Bowser was in the platform still as rocks floated around him. He lifted his hands and the floating boulders caught on fire and flung themselves at Mario one at a time.
The hero readied his hammer and swung. He whacked one back at Bowser and grinned seeing it strike him in the face. He nodded and continued. The others came quicker but one by one they all went soaring back at their sender. Mario finished and saw that the beast was stunned. He grinned and ran up to him as fast as he could. When he got to Bowser he prepared to send a charged up fire attack. Unfortunately…Bowser was only playing opossum. He surprised Mario buy raising his arms upwards and bringing them both down on him.
Peach put her hands to her mouth seeing Mario get crushed. She watched from above too afraid to move. Her hero was doing all he could to save her…and all she was doing was watching him get the stuffing knocked out of him. She had to do something…
With determined eyes she flew down to the ring and landed in front of Bowser. She took out her Parasol and glared at her enemy infuriated. She had to remember that this wasn't her first time taking on Bowser. She could do it.
Bowser glanced at her and snarled. He then reached out to grab her. She closed her eyes and started to glow white. The Princess of Light then spun around and aimed her umbrella at Shadow Bowser. She lifted her lids showing her all white eyes and screamed loudly as a large white laser exploded from its tip. It struck the creature right in his face so hard that it blasted him through the rest of the stage backwards several feet. He was dazed by the effects of the attack giving Peach time to help Mario.
The peachy woman dropped to her knees tired and lifted Mario's head for him to look at her. Mario was badly damaged and beat up so bad that he could barely keep his eyes open. Peach smiled and he weakly copied her. She got closer to his face and kissed him. Not on the cheeks, but the lips. Mario's body shook from the excitement and surprise. He never expected her to finally kiss him; especially in the heat of the battle. He closed his eyes and felt an energy flowing through his veins. He realized she was healing him. His heart was racing and his bruises were turning back to normal. It took only a few seconds before he was already fully healed…but they kept on kissing passionately. After a few more seconds she finally released her lips from his slowly and looked into Mario's bright blue eyes. She smiled and he did the same.
She was going to say something when they heard loud canine-like growling. They looked to see Shadow Bowser floating to them. He had seen them kissing…his mind was gone. He was already off the deep end and that moment of love had literally destroyed what was left of his heart. Darkness was seeping from his jaws as his body started to pulse.
Mario got up and stood in front of Peach, along with Luigi, Yoshi, Starlow, Kamek and Kammy! The plumber and his girl gasped seeing all their friends stepping in front of them. Daisy stayed with Peach and grinned at her. "Don't worry couz', we got this! Ya'll just go on back to kissin'!"
"I knew we'd find you two in the center of this realm!" Starlow said as Luigi rolled his eyes.
"It was our'a only other guess! Now it's time to put an end to'a this once and for all!"
Wendy shook her head as she and her siblings swam up to Peach. "I can't believe we have to fight our daddy…"
Roy sneered, "We got no other choice. We do what we did last time! Just attack to distract!"
They all looked to see Ludwig by Luigi and he nodded at them. Roy gave him a thumb-up and Lemmy winked at the sky.
Larry glared at his father, "We have to stop him!"
Iggy nodded in agreement and then thought of something, "Has anyone seen Junior?" He asked looking around. Everyone was at the center and all of the minions that were trapped in the castle were also there. They all hid behind walls and rocks keeping out of sight.
Mario stepped in front of the gang and watched as Shadow Bowser wrapped himself in a cocoon of shadows. He didn't know what was about to happen but he knew they had to end this before somebody was killed.
It was only a few seconds before the cocoon Bowser was in began to shake and grow. Suddenly it blew up. Everyone was knocked off their feet by the wave of darkness hitting them. They each got up and looked to see the freakiest thing they had ever seen.
"Mama-Mia…"
It was Bowser…only different.
He was even bigger than before and he was all his original colors except much darker. His horns were longer and his shell resembled an armadillos but spiky with long spears in the ridges. His arms and legs were bulky and his hair was longer and wild. But the most fearsome thing about him was his face. His snout was longer and his mouth was full of sharp fangs. He was disgusting.
His children were afraid along with Luigi. They cowered seeing the monstrosity land on the stage. It shook under his weight with every step he took. He was hardly recognizable. Peach was filled with sorrow. Kamek and Kammy were the same.
"Master Bowser…what has become of you?" Kamek muttered with despair.
What he had become…was Giga Bowser.(8)
With a powerful roar the entire dimension started to change. It started to spin crazily around the stage. It was as if the entire stage was the sun. All who was near it was safe in the gravity of the field.
Mario growled and faced his dreadful adversary. He knew there was no way anyone could beat him in their current status. But…he wasn't going to lie down and take the beating. He was going to go out fighting.
Suddenly a Mega Mushroom and a cape were tossed to him from the crowd. "GET YOUR FRESH HOT ITEMS!" He looked to see that it was his thieving buddy Popple. "Knock him dead! I'm rootin' for ya!" The villain yelled before saluting and ducking back into the crowd.
Mario quickly swiped up the items and was about to use them when Kamek and Kammy called out to him. "Not yet!" They then both fired a spell at it. Instantly the 'shroom grew twice its size and changed colors. The cape itself began to sparkle as Mario put it on. He then used the power of the Mega Mushroom and grinned as he began to grow!
Everyone watched as Mario grew almost to the size of Giga Bowser. His cape was constantly changing colors as he stopped growing and stared at the monster in front of him.
"There! That should do it! Kick his butt Super Mario!" Kammy screeched.(9)
Luigi smirked, "You can do it BIG BRO!"
Everyone quickly cleared the battle arena and joined the crowd to watch the titans duke it out. It was up to Super Mario to end this.
With a war cry they both went at each other.
"LET'S'A GO!"
~FINAL BOSS BATTLE!~
Giga Bowser grabbed at Super Mario but the hero had other plans. He twirled using his cape to spin Bowser around. He then grabbed the beast's shoulders and slammed him backwards onto his back.
"Alright!" Starlow screamed. Mario then jumped in the air over the belly of Bowser and spun before bringing his buns of steel down. Giga yelped in pain before teleporting away. Super Mario looked around and unfortunately didn't see Bowser appear behind him. The King grabbed Mario's head and shoved his head down into the stage.
The crowd felt that. They either covered their faces or 'boo'ed.
Giga Bowser quickly inhaled and breathed out searing hot flames all over the plumber. "MAMA MIA!" Mario jumped up screaming and ran around the arena with flames eating at him. Giga snarled and clothes-lined him causing Mario to yelp and fall backwards. The fall killed the flames thankfully but left Mario wide open. The villain roared and lifted his foot in the air preparing to stop his enemy's head in. Fortunately Mario was able to grab Bowser's large foot. He then threw the beast off him and flipped off his back.
Giga snarled and charged at Mario like a bull. The hero in red ran forward and was about to do something cool when Bowser suddenly vanished. "BEHIND YOU!" Yoshi yelled.
Mario spun around and grabbed the large horns aimed at his chest. Giga grimaced and before he had the chance to attack, the warrior lifted up Bowser off the ground by the horns and hurled him to the side.
"Now that's'a what I call 'Grabbing the bull'a by the horns!'" Luigi yelled doing a fist pump.
Giga Bowser sneered and jumped into the air and started spinning. He then exhaled flames turning himself into a flaming twister. He twisted towards Mario and suddenly stopped as the flames kept on spinning around him. He had smartly given himself a shield.
Mario sneered and ran around trying to figure a way around it. He got an idea and smirked. With his hammer out he ran at the Koopa King. Bowser sneered and did the same minus the hammer. He then tucked himself into his shell and spun as fast as he could while sliding across the floor. In effect, powerful winds came from around him and hit the plumber along with the flames. Mario was repeatedly being slashed by the spikes and sharp fiery winds as he was caught in the rotation of the Koopa. At last he was tossed away when Bowser stopped. The Koopa King wasn't about to give Mario a moment's rest though. He launched himself into the air as high as he could and stopped above the damaged warrior. He then came crashing down upon his nemesis.
(10)"DO A BARREL ROLL!" an old Star-Bunny in the audience commended as Mario opened his eyes and saw the large rump of Giga about to crush him. He swiftly rolled to his left just as Giga Bowser landed. The impact however sent Super Mario flying a bit as an effect to him rolling late.
The knight in damaged armor got up slowly and saw Bowser charging at him. Super Mario sneered and ran up to his adversary and charged up his power. He was getting tired and angry. He had to finish this fight.
As soon as he was just within reach of Bowser's outreaching claws, he ducked avoiding them and unexpectedly rocketed himself upwards smashing his charged up fist into Giga Bowser's ugly jaws. The uppercut knocked Bowser up high. (11)Several coins fell from Mario's ripped pants pocket and fell to the floor much to a certain Shadow Thief's glee who quickly ran onto the field, collected them and raced back before Bowser crashed back onto the stage and Mario landed where Popple grabbed the coins.
Daisy cheered along with everyone seeing the epic Super Jump Punch to Giga's face. "YOU GO BOI!"
"I think Super Mario might be able to beat him!" Larry yelled excited.
Iggy grinned and chuckled while eating pop-corn, "By golly you may be right!"
The red hero panted exhausted as Bowser got up to his feet slowly. The Giga King was just as worn out as his target. The vile Koopa roared clearly infuriated. He then jumped high in the air and began firing massive fireballs. Mario gasped and took out his hammer. He prepared to strike them back when Bowser once again teleported. Mario then noticed the three enormous orbs of pure fire for some reason weren't going straight for him. "Hmm?" he then realized two were targeted for the crowd and one for him. That's when he was suddenly grabbed from behind. The abomination had him in the Full-Nelson hold. Mario tried to break out but Giga Bowser was too strong.
"AHH! IT'S GOING TO HIT US!" Morton screamed. He quickly put the tape he was using back on his mouth. He was right. They had nowhere to go. The wind circling the area kept them in the ring.
"We have to do something!" Wendy yelled as Daisy looked around.
"Starlow don't you have a way to help!"
"HOW!" She cried completely befuddled, "I have no idea what to do! I'm too small to stop all three of those things! I could barely hold one!"
Ludwig got an idea and faced them, "HEY! I got it! We each do the same thing we did to reflect them the first time!"
"Yoshi like that plan! Come on! Let's do it!"
Kamek immediately began chanting along with Kammy to empower Starlow and Daisy's Wonder Flower. They had to move quickly.
Swiftly Luigi and Yoshi flew up to one and Luigi got out his Squeaky Hammer and Yoshi found a large rock and had Kamek make it huge. The dinosaur then quickly swallowed it whole ignoring the pain and pooped it out into an egg.
Daisy flew up to one of the colossal meteorites and got in her position to swing. Kammy the Magikoopa finished the Wonder Flower and it glowed with power ready to attack.
Kamek flew back over to his yellow partner and then he and Starlow speedily hurried in front of the last one. Starlow was huge once again and looking determined to do her job.
Ludwig charged up his scepter and fired magic at the egg turning it blue. With it ready he yelled out, "NOW!"
All three teams now done with preparation, Yoshi fired the gigantic hard-boiled egg at Luigi. The plumber cried out and swung at it just as Daisy swung her flower at the incoming Fireball. The egg hit the fireball and exploded causing the flaming orb to bounce backwards. It took all of their strength but they were able to return them. Starlow used her Star magic on the one headed for Mario and sent it directly backwards. She focused as hard as she could in order to. And thankfully it was enough. All three teams had managed to stop them from hitting Super Mario and the entire crowd of bystanders.
Giga Bowser was furious. He still had Mario though. Charging up he opened his mouth preparing to bake him with his flames. However fate didn't allow it.
"HEY POPS! GET A LOAD OF THIS!" Roy yelled before shooting his magic attacks at Giga Bowser. The spells hit him and caused the beast to loose focus.
"DISTRACTIONS!" Larry added as he swung his scepter attacking as well.
Lemmy flipped upside down and began balancing on his ball and, "FIRE, FIRE, FIRE!" he chimed while shooting actual orange magic fireballs at Giga Bowser.
"Oooooh, I can't believe I'm about to do this for a second time!" Wendy grumbled before once again attacking her daddy with rings of energy.
Iggy flew around crazily firing his scepter, "I HAVE NON-BEEF FURY! TASTE IT!"
Morton was 'silent' thanks to the tape on his lips. He fired at his dad while screaming muffled insults.
Giga Bowser snarled getting annoyed by the weak attacks. He tried to ignore them but failed and accidentally loosened his grip on Mario. The hero yelled out and broke free. He then back-flipped over Bowser and landed behind him. Without a second thought he grabbed the beast's long tail and squeezed as flames erupted from his hands. That made his hands burn into the monster's tail. (12)Now with a tight grip he began swinging Giga Bowser around and around…
Super Mario spun as fast as he could. He used his cape to make him start flying in the air while he twirled. Everyone was amazed. They resembled a red tornado. The Koopalings watched in awe as the enormous twister spun rapidly before them.
With precise calculations, Super Mario released Giga Bowser throwing him high in the air. Everyone watched as the King flew through the air screaming loudly. The throw only knocked him into the air…Which Mario knew. He would be ready to attack as soon as he landed. That is until he and everyone else noticed someone high in the air over the entire arena glowing like the North Star. Giga Bowser was headed straight for it.
With white eyes and beautiful wings behind her, Princess Peach aimed her pink parasol at Giga Bowser and used her power over light to fire another powerful laser at him. And that wasn't all she did. At that same time the very same planet-sized Fireballs reflected back into the sky were suddenly sent back at the brute. The Princess of Pure had used her magic to catch each fireball with a number of sparkling hearts. And when the time was right she'd hit Giga Bowser with everything she had. This was that time.
The laser this time struck the menace right in his heart piercing it like a dagger. The beast's eyes widened in shock as his entire body trembled in anguish. In addition to that the fireballs hit him intensely blowing up. He screamed as the combination of light and fire battered him in the air. He was consumed in the attacks as they racked his body over and over. Everyone watched as the monster started glowing white as the light filled his body and the fire burned off the stains on his broken heart. As planned the hearts that caught the attacks went inside of the brute's aching body and patched it up. Each individual heart struck Giga's heart and took control destroying the darkness, the rage and the hate that transformed him in the first place. They completely wiped away the dark magic.
When finished, the fire vanished and the light stayed in Giga Bowser's heart as he fell to the floor. He slowly reverted back to his original form as peace filled his mind. He closed his eyes as he was drained of power… and that was when he lost control over everything around them.
It was like the opposite of being in the middle of a hurricane. Thunder literally ripped through the platform everyone was on and around. And the powerful winds threw everyone into the air wildly. Mario tried to grab everyone to keep them from going anywhere but there were too many bystanders flying around him. The wind was so strong that even he started to get carried away. And to matters worse the thunder itself was sharp enough to hit Super Mario reverting him back to normal. He cried out as he sizzled while turning back to Mario. Peach watched as everyone flew around her unable to control themselves. She was still in her special form thankfully and she was still powerful. It was now up to her to stop the chaos.
(13) She closed her eyes and focused her powers on the entire realm. Hearts of all sizes began to shoot from her. They were each being sucked into the walls of the funnel as she figured. The spinning walls were turning pink and white in effect trying to allow her to take Bowser's place as the controller. Unfortunately this upset the dimension. Thunder crackled even more and the wind got crazier. She struggled to gain complete control. If she didn't then the realm would tear them all apart. She had to pierce it. Pointing her parasol upwards, she readied another attack. Using the entirely of her magic… she fired. The light shot out and hit the very top of the realm causing it to explode. It worked! In result, she smiled as it fired the laser back connecting with her giving up dominion over the dimension. Instead of Darkness being the connector like it was with Bowser, Light was made the connector.
Now she was in complete control.
She focused and forced the dimension to spit everyone out. She used her power to revert everything back to the way it was.
Immediately light filled the area and everything turned bright as the strange realm faded away…closing her eyes, she let go of the connection now that her work...was done.
~v~
"AHHHHHhhhhhh!"
Everyone was screaming as they fell out of the shrinking portal above Bowser's Castle. Now that the portal had lost the strength to hold it up, the entire castle fell back to the ground. Though the wormhole was still high in the air.
Starlow was busy using her power to catch the minions and her friends. Popple was lucky enough to grab a hold of her feet. "AH! I DON'T WANT TO FALL TO MY DOOM!"
"Oh shut up! Just hold on tight!" She ordered as he squeezed her feet, "OW! NOT THAT TIGHT!"
Kamek used his magic to catch the Koopa Kids and Kammy used her magic to catch the extra minions.
"ACK! Where's Master Bowser!" Kammy asked looking around.
"And where's Peach!" Daisy yelled searching as well.
Everyone looked up to see the portal was still there but no one was coming out. Kamek and Kammy both started to go down to the ground. They were being weighed down to much. Starlow herself was straining to keep everyone from falling. She sighed and started on her way to the ground.
It was at that very moment that Bowser fell from the hole in the sky.
"IT'S DAD!" Morton yelled breaking the tape on his mouth as he pointed up. Everyone looked and gasped.
"We have to catch him!" Kamek yelled. But he, Kammy and Starlow was all unable too. To make matters worse Princess Peach fell out right after him. Mario's eyes bulged seeing her falling fast with Bowser.
"OH NO!" he cried. He looked at Starlow, "Throw me at her!"
"WHAT! ARE YOU-"
"STARLOW!" He yelled as she focused and launched him at her just as she fell past them. She then felt that someone else also left her control at the exact same time.
"Huh!" She looked around for the one who left. "What the!" She saw him; the being flew out of her control and was headed for Peach and Bowser.
Mario focused on his target. All he could care about was that beautiful woman that meant the world to him. All he had to do was reach out for her and…he did it! Thankfully he was able to grab Peach's hand. She opened her eyes and smiled at him as they fell.
"If we're going to die…I want it to be while'a holding you." Mario told her amorously causing her to eyes to water.
"Super Mario…my Hero…" She closed her eyes and they hugged while upside falling to their doom. They both didn't care what happened to them at that point. They felt like they were already in Overthere…
Suddenly something caught onto his pants leg. It caught them abruptly causing Peach to fall hard but thanks to Mario's tight grip on her hand she hung safely connected to him. He was all that kept her from a terrible death. Mario hung on tightly as a high voice call down to them.
(14)"Gotcha! See, I knew something horrible was going to happen!" The Koopaling yelled down at them grinning as he sat inside his papa's Koopa Clown Car. He glanced to his dad who was upside down unconscious in the car groaning. "Yup. Good thing I was prepared." Bowser Junior said patting the clown copter as Mario smiled at Peach. The small airship's anchor had caught the plumber just in time…
They were saved…Everything was at last over.
~v~
~EPILOGUE~
The sun shined above all of Darklands. It was rare that this even happened. The flowers came to life being lit up by the sun's rays. The usual red clouds were gone and replaced with happy smiling white ones. Everybody stood in front of Bowser's Castle rejoicing over the fact everyone was safe and no one was seriously harmed. Even Bowser was completely unharmed. The damage he received while being Giga was gone with the form. He didn't even remember what happened. All he remembered was falling asleep on his sofa; which was strange to him because he was incredibly tired for no good reason which made everyone laugh at his ignorance. Peach even gave the villain a sweet kiss on his cheek which only furthered his confusion.
Bowser Junior told them he knew something was going to happen ever since Daisy and Yoshi raided the castle. He explained that he kept hidden the entire time. That is until he got lost in the dimension. He soon found everyone else and stayed in the crowd hidden. And when they were spit out he was caught by Starlow. He then used the break in her focus when she fired Mario to get out and save his papa. He received shouts and praises from everyone including the heroes for his smarts. Even Morton was proud of him. Though he still claimed he was the cutest much to everyone's aggravation.
After talking for a while, Mario decided it was time for them to head out on their way. Yoshi had the Princess sit on his back while Mario and Luigi escorted her and Daisy to the castle. Kamek and Kammy had Bowser go inside so they could fill him in on the story. The Koopalings all ran inside as well to order minions to fix up the place and get it back to normal. Even Iggy went to work on clearing the Wario mess in the front yard.
Yes…everything was going back to normal.
It was now the time to close out this 'lil adventure…
It was time for peace to reign in the Mushroom Kingdom.
It was time for the normal everyday drama and comedic stories.
It was time for a special someone's Re-RE-Birthday Celebration!
~v~
"RE-HAPPY BIRTHDAY! AGAIN!" screamed the entire room of citizens from the Mushroom Kingdom and all over the entire world as Mario and Luigi led Princess Peach inside her castle's Rec. room.
As soon as Peach heard the hearty greeting and saw the room light up, she jumped startled and immediately started giggling at herself. She was happy as ever seeing all her friends and people all there for her. She had just turned thirty-three and was proud of it.
In the middle of the enormous festivities was an enormous pink and yellow cake with peach-shaped icing decorations and strawberries on the inside. It was completely re-done just for her.
Toadsworth ran up to her and hugged her ecstatic to see her safe and unharmed. His face was stained with tears, "OH PRINCESS! OH HO HO HO HOOOO! I'M SOOOO RELIVED!" He bawled as everyone chuckled.
(15)Prince Peasly of the BeanBean Kingdom walked up to her and flipped his blond hair much to Luigi's bliss. Peach gasped, "Oh Prince Peasly! I thought you couldn't make it!" He smirked and bowed.
"That was then and this is now my dear…nothing is too important...at the moment; though my mother sadly couldn't make it. She had to oversee a be-heading and just couldn't reschedule it. She sends her apologies."
Peach smiled and bowed back, "Don't worry. I'm just glad to see you and most of my friends are here." She told him before walking past. Luigi quickly took a quick picture of him before joining her side. Princess Daisy shook her head and followed.
Suddenly a very familiar friend floated up to Princess Peach and caused her to smile brightly, "Young Master Tyke! Oh how wonderful to see you!" She chimed happily as Mario ran up to see for himself.(16)
It was the very same Luma that traveled with Mario and Luigi and stole the red plumber's hat. He wore it gleefully as he floated around his friends. "Hello and Happy Birthday!" He shouted handing Peach a letter.
"Thank you Tyke!" The peachy woman took it and opened the teal letter. Instantly the room dimmed as a clear projection of Princess Rosalina appeared from the letter. Everyone "Ahh"ed seeing the beautiful woman appear from the letter. "Princess Rosalina!"
(17)The miraculous woman smiled down on her and spoke with a voice that sent chills down their backs-in a good way, "Happy Birthday Princess Peach! I'm glad to know your troubles with King Bowser are over." She looked at Mario and Luigi, "I'm glad to see you're all doing well. Maybe…one day in the near future, the cosmos will allow us to see each other face to face again…"
Mario nodded, "I'a hope so! Maybe you'a and Lubba can participate in a Golf Tournament or something next'a time? Speaking of da big guy; tell Lubba I'a said 'ello!"
"I would but I think he'd like to hear you say it instead…" She moved over a bit and the oversized-purple Luma came from the side and stood in the center smiling wide.
"MARIO! LUIGI! PRINCESS PEACH! GOOD TO SEE YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" He greeted as Luigi waved frantically.
"Lubba! How's it'a going!" Luigi asked as the purple Luma smirked.
"Great! I've been traveling with missy 'ere! And we've been having a ball! I'll soon be headin' out though! I've got the itchin' to go on an adventure! Maybe lend some other big-time hero my ship!"
The green man crossed his arms together, "Yeah, I bet, Where's my money Lubba!" He yelled causing the captain to gasp and smile uneasily.
"Um…yeah…about that…You see what had-happen was…BUH-BYE! GOTTA GO SHAVE THE FACE-SHIP! HAR HAR HAAAAR!" He shouted before racing off-screen hooting with joy.
(18)"HEY! GET BACK HERE! I'A WANT MY MONEY! A BETS A BET YOU'A BIG FAT PURPLE PATRICK STAR WANNABE!" Luigi screamed with clenched fists and gritted teeth.
Rosalina chuckled and stood back in the center. "Well...anyways, Princess Peach, I hope you have a wonderful Birthday. And may your wish be grand…" She then looked down at her son and he looked up at his mama, "Let's go little one…Say good-bye."
Tyke turned to his friends and waved as he floated up to the image of Rosalina, "Bye everyone! I'll miss you!"
"BYE!" Mario, Luigi and Princess Daisy yelled in unison.
"Don't forget to write!" Peach told them causing the galactic princess to smile.
The Luma stood in the projection and suddenly became apart of it. Some people clapped seeing the magic effect. The hat-stealing star child circled his mama as she said her last words to them. "May the stars shine down upon each and every one of you…"
With that the images dispersed into tiny star bits that magically swooshed over to the cake and landed on it giving it a whole new look. Luigi's mouth started to drool seeing the new version of the cake. Daisy giggled and handed him a napkin.
Now it was time for the Mushroom Princess to say her words and blow out the candles at the tippy-top of the birthday cake. Princess Peach stood in front of the entire crowd. She smiled at everyone and motioned for Mario, Luigi and Daisy to stand by her sides. She then spoke loud and clear for all to hear.
"Attention everyone. You don't know how happy I am to see you all here today to celebrate this wonderful time! I am sorry so many events happened to prolong this moment. I mean, my birthday was almost a week ago and you still strive to give me a marvelous celebration. It truly shows how much you care for me."
"WE LOVE YOU!" someone yelled from in the midst of the crowd causing everyone to start yelling compliments and such.
Peach's heart swelled with joy as Daisy winked at her. "Gurl you know you the bomb!"
The peachy woman laughed and turned back to her people. She raised her hand while smiling causing everyone to quiet down. She continued with tears in her eyes, "I love you all…you mean so much to me! This is why Love being a Princess. All of you." She then turned to Toad who grinned and had two others bring the cake over to her along with a white movable staircase. She went over to it and began to climb it.
It was time for her to make her wish.
Beaming she got to the top and looked over the large crowd that spilled out into the foyer. She could see all the familiar friends she met during the many years. It made her cry. She then looked at Mario and he smiled at her causing 'Wiggler-flies' to flutter in her heart. (19)She was in love…closing her eyes she accepted this. It was meant for her to fall in love with the man who was destined to keep her safe. With her hands to her chest she thought of a grand wish…and hoped it would come true.
Taking a deep breath…she blew out her candles.

13.) Man this entire section was a pain to think up! I had to work to figure out a cool way for her to take control! And if you realized, the hearts that threw the fireballs were from Mario Tennis as well as Mario Kart DD! ^o^
14.) There he is! Bowser Junior! I wonder where he came from! O.O Is he a De ex machina? Not at all! He of course explained his story heh. He was around the entire time.
15.) Prince Peasly! OMG! The Brad Pitt of BeanBean Kingdom! Aha, I figured he be one of her honorable guests! And if you don't know who this is than you probably didn't and don't know who Popple is either. Which is okay! Ya just need to catch up on your Mario videogames!
16.) Yeah! Luma! Or should I say Tyke! That is his beta name. I decided he needed his original name! It separates him from the others!
17.) Yes…Princess Rosalina. My all-time fave NPC! Better than peach and equal to Daisy in my book of coolest female Mario characters! I figured her, Tyke and Lubba would definitely make an appearance on this special day. Maybe…later on I'll bring them back. It all depends on the cosmos…
18.) Patrick Star is from Spongebob btw lol. Youtube comments on the Starship Mario music have people saying how he looks like a purple, luma version of Patrick XD And that bet Luigi had with Lubba was on whether Bowser would give a MUCH harder final boss battle to Mario. Luigi had a bet that Bowser would give an easy battle and Lubba went against it. Who do you think won? ^.^
19.) Mario and Peach…what will become of their relationship? That special kiss…do you think they'll become a couple? Only time can tell…Mmm…I see a Double-Date in their future!
