Countin' on Them
Bowser's Planet. Bowser's Throne Room was very busy… and Bowser always made sure that his minions were kept busy at all times. Even if these minions were bored and had nothing better to do.
Right now, the minions were transporting in and out, lava coals from the lava intertidal zone, which led to a massive lava pool surrounding the entire castle and pretty much the entire planet.
Big Time Rush and Luigi, disguised as Koopas, were spying on the workers.
"All right." Kendall began, "It's time for Operation-Koopa-Brothers-making-a-fool-out-of-Bowser-and-rescuing-Mario-the-Princess-and-the-Starship."
"That's a really long operation name." Logan said, "And I thought I was now in charge of operation names."
"I'm scared…" Luigi was shaking.
"Dude. Don't worry." Carlos reassured him, "We do this type of stuff all the time."
"Wha—! All the time?" Luigi hissed, "This is Bowser we're dealing with, not some big-time bullheaded music producer with bug-eyed sunglasses!"
Luigi's comment reminded the guys of such producer, "Gustavo." They said together.
Luigi cocked his head on one side, "Huh?"
"Move out!" Kendall said and everyone dispersed. Luigi stayed behind, grinding on his teeth and not knowing what to do.
Bowser was watching his minions at work on his throne room and he was getting more bored by the minute. He stared bitterly at Mario's Statue, which was still intact, then back at his minions. He finally barked, "Would you nitwits HURRY UP? You are just as annoying as a 10min commercial break in the middle of my favorite TV show or movie! And where is my hammer?"
"Right here sir." The voice of Carlos caught Bowser's attention. Bowser turned to face him, carrying a yellow well-robust hammer on a velvet pillow, "Cleaned, shined, and polished. Just the way you like it."
Bowser stared at the hammer, then back at Carlos, then back again at the hammer. He smiled. Of course, Bowser didn't recognized Carlos, since he was disguised as a Koopa. So like he was dismissive to his minions, he was to the young man, "Wow. I didn't ask for it to be cleaned, shined and polished, but thank you." He picked up the hammer and admired it. But as Bowser was preoccupied, Carlos watched Logan spraying Peach's special spray on the Mario Statue and quickly began wiping the gray color clean.
"Well, I AM a clean freak." He replied with a haughty smile as he watched Logan work his magic on Mario. He kept going, "You should see my house. Swanky and top-notch fancy. Like a multibillion dollar manse."
Bowser's eyes peered into Carlos, suspiciously, "Swanky…?"
Logan gave Carlos a quick thumbs-up like the deed was done and took off running.
"Well, gotta go!" Carlos quickly said and took off running also. Bowser shook his head before staring back at his hammer. He slammed it on the palm of his hands and grinned sinisterly. "Time to say goodbye, Mario."
He turned around and saw Mario all up on his face. "Good-a-bye, Bowser." He threw a smash punch, knocking Bowser far to a wall.
"OHHHH!" the guys who were watching, laughed out loud just as Bowser went flat on his face.
"GRRRR….AAAAAAWWLLL!" Bowser jumped on his feet and roared ferociously.
"Gotta go!" Mario took off running and Bowser gave chase. "YOU FREAKIN' PLUMBER!" Bowser growled, "YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE A STATUE! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD!" He swung his hammer at Mario, who nimbly dodged it. The hammer hit the ground then bounced back at Bowser, knocking his head hard.
At the same time, the BTR Koopa boys were on the sidelines talking to the minions as if they were colleagues.
"You know the economy is bad, right?" Kendall said to a Goomba.
"Yeah. So don't expect Bowser to pay your monthly salary this year." Logan said to a Dry Bones before whispering, "We're all his slaves."
The minions' jaws dropped.
"Too bad I'm-a not a statue!" Mario shouted to a dizzy Bowser, before Luigi was heard yelling, "Heads up!"
"Oh, that's our cue." James alerted the guys. Kendall, Carlos and Logan jumped into their Koopa shells. James picked up a golf club and smacked the shells toward Bowser, "FOOORRE!" he yelled before the three shells struck Bowser's head hard, tripping him to the ground again. Bowser slowly got up before he got greeted by James's Koopa shell flying under his feet. Bowser slipped and fell again.
Luigi and the four guys rejoined Mario. The two brothers hugged and cried.
"Luigi!" Mario wept.
"Mariohh-Ho-Ho-Ho-Ohhh!" Luigi whined, "I thought I'd lost you! What would I ever do without you?"
"Uhh, nothing?" Mario joked, before seeing Luigi's weeping face turning to a cold glare, "I'm-a kiddin'!" he quickly said, "So you rescued me from that statue curse?"
"Actually…"
"WE DID!" The boys proudly interrupted Luigi. Luigi grumbled, "…yeah, what they say."
"You rescued us before, now we're returning the favor." Kendall said to Mario who was all-smile.
"KOOPAS!" Bowser caught everyone's attention. He was slowly getting up, shocked to see the boys; though he still recognized them as his Koopa minions, "My own Koopas betrayed me!"
"Koopas?" Logan raised an eyebrow, "Pssht. No. We're…" The guys removed their costumes, revealing themselves. Bowser's jaws dropped.
"…Big Time Rush…" he growled.
"Hey, you said our name right!" Kendall laughed.
"GRAAWWWLL!" Bowser angrily stomped the ground, causing an earthquake that split and cracked in two. "You think you can defeat me?" He then barked, "Kammy! KAMMY!"
"Yeah… no." Carlos said, "Your precious Kammy is apparently off-duty."
"She's taking a vacation." Logan added, "A looonnng vacation."
"Just think of it as the beginning of her beautiful retirement." James added.
"Onboard the swanky Daisy Cruiser." Kendall finished.
"WHAAAT?" Bowser barked.
"Yeah… what they said." Luigi smiled.
"Grr… Minions! Gather up!" Bowser barked.
The minions huddled up.
"Attack these impostors!"
The minions didn't budge.
"Well…! What are you waiting for? Your life to end?"
The minions looked at each other. A Paratroopa spoke, "No, but we're waiting for our salary."
"What?"
"We ain't attacking not until you pay us!" A Goomba argued.
"Yeah, you made us worked all day and all night, without a reward!" A Dry Bones hissed.
"So why should we listen to you?" A Koopa argued and all the minions crossed their arms… (well, except the Goombas)
Bowser then formed a cracked-up smile, under all that stress he was having. "You think you can defeat me?" he sneered at the heroes, "Well, think again, Italian freaks!"
"Err… we're not Italian." James pointed out.
"I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU!" Bowser barked, "But it doesn't matter! You are in on it, too!"
Bowser jumped high up and began climbing a large steep rock that was right behind his throne. The rock was leading up to Peach's Castle. Mario panicked, "Hey, come back here!" he ran toward Bowser but stopped to face the large rock. Though Mario could jump, he couldn't climb up a rock that steep. But he was stunned to see Bowser was able to climb it. He helplessly watched the Koopa King getting away.
"Where do you think you're going?" Mario called on Bowser.
"Where else?" Bowser taunted, "To your beloved Princess. Try to follow me and you'll know what's coming to her!" and with that, he vanished.
"Hey, come back here!" Mario took a detour after Bowser. Big Time Rush and Luigi followed.
Bowser crashed into Peach's Castle and into her bedroom and snatched her.
"HEELP!" Peach is heard screaming in panic. Mario, Luigi, and Big Time Rush froze as they saw Bowser coming out of the castle and into the balcony, with the helpless princess around his arm.
"Heellp!" she cried.
"Peach!" Mario cried out.
Bowser balanced the princess over the lava pool, "One more step and she's lava stew!" he threatened.
Big Time Rush and Luigi looked at each other before facing Bowser "Go ahead!" they said to Bowser.
"WHAT?" Mario barked.
"What?" Bowser looked stunned.
"We got the Princess anyway." Luigi said, just on cue for Peach to show up behind the heroes. Mario was stunned to see the Princess as well.
"Bet you didn't see that coming, huh Bowser?" Peach informed the Koopa.
"What? Then who am I holdin—!" he turned to face the princess he was holding and ripped the dress off her to reveal his son Bowser Jr!
"IT'S ME, YOU OVERGROWN OAF!" Bowser Jr. barked, "Those damn guys infiltrated the Starship and took me hostage!"
"And now," Luigi smiled at the two cornered Koopas, "You're toast. Seven people vs. two."
The heroes suddenly heard a stampede coming. They saw all Bowser's minions surrounding them, "Actually." A Koopa said, "Make that the whole planet."
"YEAAAH!" The minions cheered.
"Count us too!" shouted Lubba and everyone from the Starship Mario joined the heroes as well, including Toads from Peach's Castle.
Everyone took their fighting stances, ready to give Bowser and Bowser Jr. a beating.
"Grr…" Bowser growled, "Cornered."
He tossed Bowser Jr. off the cliff. "wuaaaahhh!" the baby Bowser yelled as he was falling down the lava pool. Everyone screamed.
"You tossed your son into his death?" Logan freaked.
Bowser didn't respond, but he jumped off the cliff also, freaking everyone out. Everyone ran toward the cliff to see, but before they knew it, the Koopa Clowncopter showed up with Bowser and Bowser Jr. on board.
"MUAH! HA! HA! HA! HAA!" Bowser laughed, "You think you won, Mario and your posse? And your new Big Time friends? Well, think again!" Bowser revealed a remote control and pushed a button on it. A beep was heard underneath the planet's ground. The beeping continued, and everyone looked around nervously wondering what that noise was.
"I just activated a planet bomb on this place." Bowser revealed, "Now in about five minutes, this whole planet, and the Starship, and Peach's beloved castle, and ALL OF YOU, will BLOW AWAY into miniature comets!"
Everyone looked on panicky.
"Say your prayers, cuz you're gonna need it!"
"Bye Bye!" Bowser Jr. gloated and the two Koopas took off on their clowncopter laughing maniacally.
"Oh no…" Lubba panicked, "We're gonna die, we're gonna die, we're gonna diiie…"
"Fire up the Bullet Bills!" A Koopa called an order. The Bullet Bill Cannons positioned themselves and aimed at the moving clowncopter. "Don't miss your target! At all cost!"
"FIRE!"
BLAST! BLAST! BLAST! Bullet Bills went flying toward Bowser and Bowser Jr. The two Koopas panicked. Bowser moved his clowncopter around, nimbly dodging every blow the Bullet Bills could inflict.
"What are you doing Dad?" Bowser Jr. complained, "Stop moving! I'm getting sky sick!"
"Well, keep your vomit to yourself!" Bowser barked.
"I CAN'T! BAAARRRFF!" Bowser Jr. puked all over Bowser's feet, "Eeew! Gross!" Bowser yelped and quickly got distracted. Just when he finally gain focus he saw a Bullet Bill flying straight toward them with no time to escape.
"GAAAAAHHH!" Bowser and Bowser Jr. screamed.
BOOOOMMM! The explosion finished the Clowncopter and sent the two Koopas plummeting into the lava pool, screaming for their lives.
The sky shook up violently at the explosion's impact and the ground began to tremble as the beeping sound was getting faster.
"Mamamia! We gotta get out of this place!" Mario shouted.
"Wait," A Dry Bones said, "You have a Starship right?"
"Yeah, but Bowser planted a bomb on it!" Luigi said.
"Only on the planet. Not on the Starship." A goomba informed the heroes, "You need to board the Starship and get outta here! Now!"
"But what about you guys?" Kendall said to the Goomba and his colleagues, "You helped us!"
"Yeah, you can't stay here!" Carlos said.
"They can crash into my Castle!" Peach proposed.
"But the Castle is right on top of the Planet!" Logan said.
"We'll use the Starship to anchor the Castle and pull it away from the Planet!" Lubba said.
"Wait, how is that possible?" James argued.
"With Lumas, everything is possible!" Lubba said as a massive horde of Lumas joined the heroes. Half of them rushed toward Peach's Castle, then another half of them rushed toward the Starship.
"Move out!" Mario shouted and everyone dispersed to safety. The minions jumped into Peach's Castle. The Mario Bros., Peach, and Big Time Rush jumped into the Starship. Lubba and the Starship inhabitants boarded the ship also, with Lubba starting off the ship. The Lumas linked each other to form a huge cord and connected between the Castle and the Starship. With all their galactic might they pulled Peach's Castle off Bowser's Planet as the Starship took off into the galaxy, mere minutes before Bowser's Planet exploded into a spectacular display of fireworks and meteor shower. The impact blasted the Castle and the Starship far away into a new galaxy.
"WHAAAAHOOOOO!"
