Hello everyone, Genral G here with a brand new chapter! Now, I'd like to clarify some things. Starlow is NOT getting replaced by Stuffwell. And as for Stuffwell, said the 2.0 model can fight. Stuffwell fights like the Bros, by jumping on enemies. That being out of the way, let's begin. And of course, if you have any criticisms or suggestions, please let me know!
Chapter seven: A very BIG problem
In the last chapter, Professor gave the Bros the Cobalt Star 2.0 to hide it in Gritzy Desert. In the Desert they should find a Time Hole to bring back their baby selves to fight off the Shroob Empire once more.
What they didn't know was that an enemy from above was watching them. "Keh keh keh…Gritzy Desert, hm? Lord Bowser should hear about this." Kamek whispered from above Peach's Castle.
Kamek flew off to Thwomp Mountain, where Bowser decided to stay for a while. Bowser was located at the very top, along with Private Goomp, Corporal Paraplonk, and Sergeant Guy.
"Your Grouchiness, I have news!" Kamek said as he flew on the top of the mountain side. Bowser was using binoculars and was looking from the distance to Peach's Castle.
"Your evilness, the Brothers-" Kamek began. "QUIET!" Bowser yelled. "I've been spying to see if Peach was in her castle so I could snatch her. Bu she's nowhere to be seen!" Bowser said angrily.
He took the binoculars and smashed them with his hands. "IT'S NOT FAIR!" he screamed. "…Bowser." Kamek said. "WHAT!?" Bowser replied, yelling. "The Brothers and their suit-case-thing are heading to Gritzy Desert! Now is the perfect time to catch them off guard!" Kamek said.
Bowser crossed his arms and thought for a second. "Gritzy Desert, huh?" "Yes my King." Kamek said to Bowser.
"…I LIKE IT! Warm up the Clown Copter!" Bowser shouted. Without a moment's hesitation Kamek left to warm up the vessel. "AND YOU THREE!" Bowser yelled to the Elite Trio.
"It could take some time for us to get to the Desert, so I want you three to stop Mario! Y'know, mess with him until we get there. Understood?" Bowser ordered.
"YES SIR!" Private Goomp said. "Hey, if we do this right, maybe Bowser will promote us!" Sergeant Guy whispered to the other two. "Heck, we might be able to boss Kamek around!" Corporeal Paraplonk whispered back. "Then let's do it!" Private Goomp said. "GO TEAM!" They all yelled.
"HEY! Hurry up already!" Bowser yelled. "Y-yes sir!" they said as they started to descend from the mountain.
(Meanwhile)
"So, what have you two been doing?" Stuffwell asked the Bros as they walked to the Desert. "Well, I've fought some ghost or two…and you know Mario. Always saving the day and such." Luigi relied.
Starlow remained silent throughout the conversation, as she didn't want to break up their little get-together. But still…it would be nice if SOMEONE mentioned…
"So, what do you do?" Stuffwell asked Starlow. She has been so lost in her thoughts that Starlow didn't even notice Stuffwell had been trying to break the ice.
"Well, I'm a Star Sprite. Guardian of the Stars, Keeper of light, all that jazz." Starlow replied. "Cool…cool." Stuffwell replied.
A silence soon followed. "Starlow had been at service to us many times." Mario said, dragging out the awkwardness. "Really? When?" Stuffwell asked.
"Well, one time I helped Mario defeat a power called the Dark Star. This other time I helped out Luigi not fall into a nightmare against that Bat guy…"
A conversation sparked between Starlow and Stuffwell, and the Bros were glad the two were friends now.
Eventually, they reached the entrance of Gritzy Desert. "Well, here we are." Stuffwell said. "Yup." Starlow replied.
"…Well, we're not gonna stand here forever, c'mon, let's go." Mario said. They began to walk until a blurry of brown, red, and green fell from above.
"STOP RIGHT THERE!" Private Goomp said, facing the wrong way. He then turned around and started over. "I MEAN STOP RIGHT THERE!" he yelled.
"Uh, can we help you?" Stuffwell asked to the new stranger. "NO! … I MEAN YES!" Private Goomp replied.
"Hey, it's you three! What are you doing here!?" Starlow demanded. "We've come here in the name of Lord Bowser to defeat you! Now, prepare to enter a world of pain!" Corporeal Paraplonk said confidently.
"That's what you think!" Mario said. Before Mario was even able to move, Stuffwell rushed to the rescue and jumped on top of Private Goomp's head.
"OW! What the- is that a BREIF CASE!?" Private Goomp responded. Sergeant Guy used his wand to shoot a magic beam at Stuffwell.
"STUFFWELL!" Starlow shouted. She then proceeded to head butt Private Goomp, which as a result caused him to fall backwards onto Sergeant Guy.
Confused, Sergeant Guy shot several magic beams that went flying everywhere. One of which hit Corporeal Paraplonk, causing him to land on top of Private Goomp.
The Trio then laid doggy-piled on top of each other. "…umm, can we go now?" Luigi asked. Mario nodded, as they pulled Stuffwell from the pile.
"Well um…bye." Luigi said as he passed by the pile. "Idiot! I had it!" Private Goomp said to Sergeant Guy. "What? I was doing fine until YOU butt in!" he replied. "Well, I would have defeated Mario if it weren't for you two!" Corporeal Paraplonk concluded.
"SHUT UP!" Bowser yelled from above the skies. "I KNEW YOU THREE WOULD SCREW UP! I'll just take on Mario MYSELF!" Bowser cried.
Bowser leaped from his Koopa Copter onto the sandy grounds of Gritzy Desert. "MARIO!" Bowser yelled while pointing at the moustached plumber.
Mario and Luigi got into a fighting position, and Bowser breathed fire. Luigi dodged it and proceeded to use his hammer.
Bowser punched Luigi out of the way, only to be bonked on the head by Mario. Bowser was able to grab Mario's left leg and pick Mario up, only to slam him into the sand.
During that, Luigi was able to recover, and hit Bowser against his side torso, causing Bowser to fall on top of the Elite Trio.
Stuffwell finished them off by jumping on top of them, leaving the team defeated. And just as they thought they were off the hook…
"LORD BOWSER!" Kamek called from above. "Do not worry!" Using his magic, Kamek caused Bowser to glow.
"Huh?" Bowser said as he began to glow up to the point that the Bros could no longer look at him. When everyone opened their eyes, they awoke to see Bowser's foot.
They looked to the sky to see Bowser grew to monumental heights! He was able to stand above the clouds! "Oh no!" Mario said. "Not again!" Luigi complained. "Oh yeah. I forgot Bowser did that time to time…" Starlow said. "…What?" was all Stuffwell was able to say.
"Oh YES! FINALLY! I've been WAITING for this to happen again!" Bowser roared. "Keh keh keh…why yes, you have grown, by King. Now, defeat those little pests!" Kamek said as he flew near Bowser's head.
"Mario! Luigi! PREPARE TO BE CRUSHED!" Bowser yelled loudly. "What do we do now!?" Stuffwell said franticly. "I don't know! Usually something convenient happens! Like Luigi's cap glows or something like that!" Starlow said urgently.
"I think now would be the best time to run!" Luigi said as Bowser stomped closer and closer.
They began to run from the massive Koopa King, but Kamek was making that difficult. "Where do you think YOUR going!?" he mocked.
Kamek, using his magic, caused a nearby desert rock to almost crush them! The rock caused Mario and Luigi to go to the left, and Starlow and Stuffwell to the right.
Bowser used his fire breath to make it rain fireballs. "Keh heh…perfect!" Kamek yelled. Kamek turned some of the fireballs into spiked iron balls to drop on them.
Mario used his hammer and shot one back at Kamek. However, this just caused more problems.
"HEY!" Corporeal Paraplonk said, with Private Goomp and Sergeant Gut on the Koopa Copter behind him. "No one can beat Kamek but us!" "WHAT?!" Kamek screeched from the background. "N-nothing sir!" Paraplonk said defensively.
Sergeant Guy began to shoot magic beams at the Bros, while Kamek did the same to Stuffwell and Starlow.
Bowser caused more fire rain, and punched the ground. This caused the Earth to open up and mountains from the distance to crumble.
A small avalanche and large cravens from the ground cause Mario and Luigi to separate, as well as Starlow and Stuffwell.
"Bah! You!" Kamek pointed to Sergeant Guy. "Yes?" "Distract the red one! While do the same with green, Goomp on the Star Sprite, and Paraplonk on the suit case!" Kamek ordered.
"YES SIR!" The trio said as they started attacking each member individuality. "BAHAHAHAHA! YOU IDIOTS ARE DONE FOR!" Bowser called.
Kamek caused Thwomps to appear over Mario's head, while Mario was avoiding cracks in the ground, fire, and small rock slides. Mario was quick to avoid the Thwomps, but slipped and fell when he ran into a dead end.
Seizing the opportunity, Kamek spawned an army of Bomb-ombs at Mario. Mario grabbed one, just as it was going to explode, and tossed it at Kamek.
Kamek fell back, and Mario looked to his left to see Luigi and how he was handling his problem.
All the fire caused smoke, and that blinded Luigi. Sergeant Guy was able to hit Luigi with a few shoot, causing the green Italian to lose a little more than half his HP.
However, Luigi used his ability to jump high and smacked Sergeant Guy to the ground. Luigi then proceeded to punch him right in the face.
"Alright, alright, I surrender! Just get off me!" Sergeant Guy pleaded. Luigi let the Sergeant go and looked above him, and saw a small trial that Starlow was following.
Starlow was able to fly, so the avalanches and the cravens meant little to her. However, Private Goomp sent Paragoombas and Tanooki Goombas after her!
Starlow was quick, but the Goombas were quicker. Luckily, Luigi was able to jump on top of a Tanooki Goomba, giving him the Tanooki leaf, turning him into Tanooki Luigi.
However, the Goombas spread out to invade Stuffwell. Stuffwell's new model was able to fend if A Paratroopa, but not an entire fleet!
Stuffwell was small enough to hide in a small crack among the desert walls of the desert mountainside, but Paraplonk thought of everything.
He brought his very own wand and began zapping away. He was about to zap where Stuffwell was hiding, but Starlow hit him in the back yelling "Stay away from my fiend!"
Stuffwell was able to escape, and head back to Mario, Luigi, and Starlow. "You guys are okay!" He cheered. They all laughed in happiness, but then turned around to see a giant, furious Bowser.
"…Right." Luigi said. They started to run again, but a mysterious purple light shined from the Heavens. It shined at Bowser, and somehow managed to shrink him to regular size!
It then proceed to take Bowser up into the skies. However, Bowser realized the source of the mysterious light. "The…Shroobs?" he questioned. "…THE SHROOBS!?" Bowser asked again, now more frightened.
"BOWSER!" Kamek and the Elite Trio yelled as they rushed to aid their ruler. The light took the four into a large Shroob spacecraft. "Aw crud." Bowser said.
Mario, Stuffwell, Luigi, and Starlow saw the abduction happen right before their eyes, not saying a word.
Eventually, the spacecraft left and headed to Peach's Castle, where they most likely set up a base.
"Well, I guess we're done here." Mario concluded. The rest agreed, since they didn't want to question what exactly just happened.
"Let's just…look for the Time Hole." Starlow said. Everyone nodded in agreement, and looked at all the fire and destruction Bowser caused.
"If one Bowser did this…" Stuffwell began. "Imagine a whole army of Shroobs…" The rest stood there, thinking upon what Stuffwell had said. Maybe they should begin to take this threat more seriously. After all, if Bowser could destroy a desert, the Shroobs could destroy the world…
WELL THEN! We learn that Bowser, along with Kamek and the Elite Trio have been abducted…for some reason. All will be revealed why in the next chapter of "Mario and Luigi: The Great Chase"! Now, I'm not sure when chapter 8 will be uploaded, so please be patient. Like I said, it takes me a while to write theses, so I hope you guys understand. This is Genral G, signing off.
