Battle at the Mushroom Kingdom
AT SARASALAND…
A horde of lumas come down from the sky. Maybe fifty of them gather around the waddle dee army in front of the Chai Castle in order to prepare for the Battle at Mushroom Kingdom, or whatever's left of it. Most of the fighter waddle dees carry warp stars which will send them to the Mushroom Kingdom. The bandana waddle dees will be launched through the sky by the lumas. They sharpen their spears and are ready for battle. The civilians look at the gigantic army and can't help but be worried. Daisy comes out and speaks to the open forum.
"Hi," Daisy greets the growing crowd of Sarasaland natives. "I'm sure you're all wondering, why is there a giant army in the middle of the courtyard? Well…we are going to war." The crowd gasps and whispers to themselves. "Don't worry! It's only King Dedede and his army fighting. Along with the Mario brothers and their friends. None of you have to participate." The crowd cheers. Daisy can't help but laugh to herself. "Our friends in the Mushroom Kingdom were overthrown by Bowser." There are some groans from the audience. "I know right! So King Dedede and I decided to help them recover what they lost." The doors of the Chai Castle open. "And here they are!"
Mario, Luigi, King Dedede, and Donkey Kong come out. Followed behind them are Peach, Captain Toad, and Toadette. The crowd cheers for the warriors. King Dedede steps to the front of the waddle dee army to address the crowd.
"Thank you! Thank you for the encouragement!" King Dedede boasts. "I'll be excited to hear that when I come back." He claims. "I think it's important to maintain close relationships with your neighbors…" DK scoffs. "And helping the Mario brothers in their fight for their land with be the first step in maintaining a close relationship." The crowd cheers for Dedede. "From this day on, you will treat them with the same respect that you do to me." The crowd now cheers for the Mario brothers and the rest of the Mushroom Kingdom natives.
Mario can't help but feel exhilarated. He is ready to get back to his home. Luigi is terrified. He has never fought in a war before! What will he do? How will he defend himself? Luigi will have to figure it out in the moment. Because of this Luigi has prepared himself. He wears a heavy metal helmet, a breast plate, and long black boots. DK is indifferent about fighting in this war. But he convinced himself to go along because of Peach.
King Dedede gets everyone in their positions. He sits on a warp star, the other fighter waddle dees follow him. The lumas turn into super star launchers. Suddenly, King Dedede blasts himself into the air. The fighter waddle dees follow and the bandana waddle dees plunge into the air. Peach, Daisy, and the toads watch as Luigi and Donkey Kong blast into the sky. Mario waits and looks at Peach, she runs up to kiss him. Mario lets her go and blasts through the sky. The queens watch as Mario and the rest of the army get smaller and smaller in the sky until they disappear completely.
IN THE KONGO JUNGLE…
Yoshi, Diddy, and Dixie Kong have been making good use of their time since the others have been gone. Every day they try to race each other up different trees. Today is the deadly fuzzy vine tree. If you touch the fuzzy vines then you will get a gross allergic reaction. Diddy Kong has won the last few races because he has been able to maneuver the trees with his climbing skills. Yoshi feels determined that he will win this time, the vines are everywhere and may prove to be difficult for Diddy.
The three start climbing up the fuzzy vine tree. Diddy and Dixie dodge the gross looking vines and propel themselves higher into the tree. Yoshi is able to make large jumps up the tree due to his great jumping ability. Dixie falls! She tried to avoid the poisonous vines. She clutches onto the bark of the tree that is breaking underneath her fingers and toes. Dixie finds a solid spot in the bark and hoists herself back up. Yoshi continues to jump across different branches. Yoshi can see sunlight under the canopy of trees and…he makes it to the top! He beat Diddy Kong and Dixie!
Shortly after Diddy and Dixie join him on top of the fuzzy vine tree canopy. They see something zoom past them in the sky. It looked like Donkey Kong! They cheer on their dad and the Mario brothers as they see them hurling through the sky. After a moment, they look at each other. DK and the others must be headed to the Mushroom Kingdom. Yoshi, Diddy, and Dixie now race across the canopy to meet them at Peach's Castle.
AT THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM…
Bowser is sitting on his throne, throwing different obstacles for Lemmy to jump over. He throws a chain chomp at Lemmy, which the little koopa turns into a bouncy ball. Next Bowser spurts a fire ball at Lemmy who turns it into an even bigger fire ball. Bowser inhales deeply and lets out a cloud of flames. Lemmy turns the hot air into confetti. Bowser can't help but be amused by the talents of his youngest son!
On the top of the castle, Roy and Larry are lounging around. Roy is trying to get a tan while Larry is doing whatever he can to annoy his brother. Larry will step in front of Roy to block his sun or spray Roy with lotion. Being stuck at the Mushroom Kingdom leaves the koopalings bored. Larry stops in his tracks; Roy gets his sun blocked, again!
"Larry quit blocking my…" Roy looks up at what Larry is mesmerized by. They see in the sky King Dedede and his army approaching the castle. "Take cover!" Some of the waddle dees smash into the roof with their warp stars. Their explosion make the roof break underneath them. Roy and Larry scurry to dodge the blast from the warp star and the crumbling roof.
Wendy and Ludwig watch on the ground floor just outside of the castle. Waddle dees are landing in the flooded mud in front of the castle. A large explosion happens right in front of them. It is King Dedede. Wendy and Ludwig scream and run into the castle. As they run into the castle to Bowser they have to dodge the falling pieces of the roof. The koopa troopas and goombas from Bowser's Kingdom that came along with the clan are running towards the door to fight.
Luigi and Donkey Kong land on top of the rampart. Donkey Kong jumps down to join the action. Luigi gets ready to jump but…ooh, it is just too high! Mario lands next to his brother. Luigi looks at Mario terrified, his metal armor is shaking from fear. Mario smiles and then pushes Luigi off the rampart. Mario follows his brother with a triumphant scream!
Roy hugs one of the pillars on the roof. He climbs up it and then onto the flagpole. Larry can't seem to dodge the impact from the warp stars. BAM! Larry gets hit. As he lays upside down the roof crumbles underneath him. Larry lands on the ground of the front hallway to the castle. Larry looks up and watches as more of the roof fall on top of him and crushes him.
In the great hall, Wendy and Ludwig enter screaming. "Bowser! King Bowser!"
"Is it the Mario brothers?" Bowser asks calmly.
"Yes! And they brought new friends with them too!" Wendy explains.
"Get ready kids," Bowser. "This is the moment I've been waiting for." Wendy readies her rings, Ludwig pulls out his magic wand, and Lemmy carries Roy's cannonball gun. They prepare to defend their new home. "Fight for our home!"
Donkey Kong is joining the fighting waddle dees in knocking the koopa troopas out of the way. There is mud everywhere, making it hard for DK to get a good stance. Suddenly, a ring wizzes by, knocking some of the fighters out. Donkey Kong sees Wendy. The ring comes back to Wendy's hand. "Give me a kiss, I dare you!" Wendy teases.
On the rooftop Roy is surrounded by bandana waddle dees. Roy rips off the flag pole from the roof and swings it at the waddle dees. His swings knock all of the minions off the roof. Suddenly, Lemmy appears. "Hey big bro, I thought you might be missing this!" Lemmy hands him the cannonball gun.
"Thanks Lemmy, now go help Wendy," Roy instructs. Lemmy disappears. Roy watches as King Dedede flies on top of the roof. Roy readies the cannon. "Time to show 'em who's boss." Roy shoots the canon, King Dedede destroys it with his hammer. The two stare at each other, they are evenly matched.
Luigi hides behind a group of bandana waddle dees. He watches as they poke at the goombas, hammer bros, and koopa troopas. There are moments when Luigi could've stepped in, but the waddle dees seem like they have it under control. Luigi hears something behind him…like a poof. He turns around and sees Ludwig smiling at him with those beady eyes! Luigi slaps Ludwig. Did he really just slap Ludwig?
Ludwig winds up his wand and shoots magic orbs at Luigi! The green machine jumps through the air to dodge the orbs and the waddle dees are caught in the line of fire. The waddle dees notice enemies are coming from both ends and scatter. Luigi runs through the muddy field as fast as he can and as far away from Ludwig as possible.
The doors to the great hall open, it's Mario. Bowser has been waiting for him as everyone else is fighting. The floor is still flooded, but this time with warmer water that calms Mario. There is a rumble and some dust from the ceiling falls. Bowser gets angrier and steam erupts from his nostrils. Then the water around them starts to steam up. After Bowser has mustered all the energy he can he charges at Mario!
Bowser misses Mario and crashes into the side of the castle. Parts of the roof fall off onto the Koopa King. Bowser blasts a large flamethrower at Mario. The plumber hides behind a piece of roof that blocks the flames. The heat creeps around towards Mario, the roof is now burning! Mario slides with the water, giving him a little bit of protection on both ends, and runs from the flamethrower. Bowser stops. But the water around them is now boiling. Mario can't stand to be in it anymore. A large part of the roof falls and nearly crushes Mario, he looks up and sees King Dedede and Roy fighting. Mario takes cover from the water on the roof.
On the roof Roy continues to fire cannons at King Dedede, who every time manages to knock them out of the way with his hammer. Roy feels discouraged by the cannonball gun and throws it off the roof. Roy tucks in his shell and charges at King Dedede who jumps out of the way. Roy pulls out his wand and starts to throw magic orbs at Dedede. Roy gets closer to Dedede, but the king smashes his hammer down and another chunk of the roof falls off, this time onto Bowser's head. In fury, Bowser throws a flamethrower up at the roof. Dedede nearly misses the flames! Roy continues to make King Dedede dance with his magic orbs!
One of Wendy's rings slices Donkey Kong in the back. He didn't expect them to fly back so quickly. They must be infused with magic! Wendy sends more and more rings and DK, who flips over them. He twists around the ones that Wendy's throws at him and ducks at them when they fly back to her. As DK is twisting her grabs hold of one of the rings that are flying back. DK reverts the motion of the ring and sends it towards Wendy! She gets hit by it in the face and then again when it comes back to DK! Wendy glares at DK as he holds her ring and smirks at her. Suddenly, Lemmy appears. Ugh, now Donkey Kong has to deal with the both of them!
Luigi is running. It's all he knows how to do. He reaches the rampart and can't go anywhere but up! However, he can't climb the rampart with all of this gear on him. Luigi throws the metal helmet behind him and it hits Ludwig accidently! Luigi throws off the breast plate and again, it hits Ludwig! Luigi starts to climb, he hears Ludwig climbing after him. The magic orbs fly pass Luigi! One hits him in his butt and gives him a slight boost up the rampart. Luigi refuses to look down, he just keeps climbing. Eventually, he is at the top of the rampart. He looks down and instantly regrets it! He is dizzy and stumbles to the edge behind him.
"Woah now Luigi!" He mutters to himself. Luigi regains balance and starts running across the rampart with Ludwig chasing him. Luigi trips over himself and falls over the edge of the rampart. Ludwig now towers over Luigi.
On the roof, King Dedede is dodging Roy who keeps chasing after him in his shell. He sees Ludwig near the rampart. King Dedede dances around the rooftop to get Roy in the right direction. As Roy speeds to Dedede in his shell, the king winds up his hammer and slugs Roy across the field and straight into Ludwig. The two koopas fall into the Wedding Lake! Dedede watches Luigi climb back on top of the rampart. The king smirks, looks like they weren't evenly matched after all!
Below, Bowser throws an angry flamethrower at Mario. The plumber just barely jumps over the flames and lands a punch on the Koopa King. Mario lands in the boiling water and gets to safety as quick as he can. Mario takes off his hat and clothes which have become increasingly warm, leaving him with only white polka dot underwear. Mario sees burns on some of his skin from the water.
Donkey Kong is dancing with Wendy and Lemmy's attacks. He dodges the magical orbs and counters any of the rings that he can grab onto. Wendy and Lemmy are losing stamina but DK can keep dancing! Lemmy get hit one more time with the rings and falls in the mud. Wendy's guard is down and DK sends another ring at her. Wendy is done with her rings and pulls out her magic wand. She starts throwing orbs at DK and creeps towards Lemmy to give him aid. Suddenly, Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, and Yoshi appear. Diddy and Dixie shoot their banana guns and Yoshi throws his egg at the two koopas. The explosion knocks the two koopas out. DK is overjoyed to see his family! They Kongs hug and celebrate their victory.
King Dedede continues to break the roof on top of Bowser's head. The Koopa King is furious and breathes out a gargantuan flamethrower in every direction possible. Bowser has been getting hit in every direction, so he thinks that if Bowser is hitting something it is better than it hitting him. But King Dedede notices that the whole castle is beginning to collapse due to Bowser's flamethrower. He leaps off the roof and away from the castle.
King Dedede joins Luigi, Yoshi, and the Kongs as they watch the castle. Flames erupt from the castle in every direction. They see piece after piece of Peach's Castle collapse. They watch as each tower collapses due to the heat and damage. Then the main central tower of Queen Peach's castle collapses and the flames stop. Nothing is left standing of the castle. Dedede and the others run to the castle ruins. The water cools down from a boil but steam still erupts from it. Bowser is bruised, bloodied, and crushed under the ruins of the castle. There is a cough, Mario, who seemed to have avoided some of the damage stands up from the wreckage and walks towards the others. Luigi catches his brother as he collapses in his arms.
"Get the lumas! We need to get to Rosalina," Luigi says clearly.
MOMENTS LATER AT THE SPACE OBSERVATORY…
Mario lays on a bed in Rosalina's Office. He is exhausted from the fight, bruised from the ruin, and burned from the flames of Bowser. Rosalina did the best she could to heal his surface wounds, but she is reluctant to see Mario withstand the damage any longer. Luigi, the Toad Council, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Diddy, Dixie, and King Dedede are all gathered around the office. Peach, Daisy, and the Toads just land at the Space Observatory. Peach goes into Rosalina's Office, Luigi follows.
"Bowser was acting crazy," Luigi explains. "Spitting flames everywhere and destroying the castle on top of him. Mario got caught in the wreck."
"He was covered in bruises and burns," Rosalina says. "I did the best I could to heal whatever I could get to, but…I don't think he can survive his internal injuries."
Peach kneels besides Mario and put her arm on his chest. "Can I be alone with him?"
"Sure thing Peach," Luigi places his hand on Peach's back for comfort, then takes Rosalina out of the room.
Tears start to swell in Peach's eyes. She looks at Mario, he fought the hardest he could, he did whatever he could to get the Mushroom Kingdom back. "Mario, in the time being King Adjutant, you created an alliance with King Dedede of Sarasaland and fought till your death to keep the Mushroom Kingdom in our name. I would say, as the Queen of the Mushroom Kingdom, that those actions deem you to rightfully rule the Mushroom Kingdom as King." Peach places a kiss on his cheek. She gets up and leaves the office knowing now, that she can be the Queen the Mushroom Kingdom deserves.
