Chapter Ten: Chaos

Ten chapters! Yeah! Thanks to xXMidnightNin3ndoXx for submitting this word and challenge, at least 750 words. Let's see if I can do this. This is the opening of Super Mario Galaxy.

Chaos. That's what it was, pure and simple. And Bowser was loving every minute of it. It was hilarious watching those pathetic little mushrooms run around screaming their heads off, as if they actually had a chance of dodging the projectiles his fleet was shooting at their town. With his new power, he was undefeatable. Not even Mario could stop him now.

Speaking of that pesky piece of sewer scum, Bowser could see him now, running through the panic stricken streets of Toad Town, trying to reach the castle and the Princess inside. Too bad Mario, Bowser thought with a smile. Peach is mine this time.

Bowser flew his doomship over to the castle, where Princess Peach was watching all this unfold from her balcony. Two Toad guards were with her, but they looked scared out of their minds. Peach was holding what looked like a giant pale star in her hands, but Bowser ignored it, thinking it was probably some sort of new exotic pet.

"Princess Peach!" he roared. "You are formally invited to the creation of my new galaxy!" The two Toads stepped defensively in front of her, their arms extended, as if trying to create a barrier between Bowser and his bride to be. Bowser glared down at them. One squeaked in terror and hid behind her, the other one looking pathetically helpless and defenseless all alone in front of her.

In Peach's arms, the star seemed to wilt. "Gwahahaha!" Bowser laughed maliciously, his hands beginning to glow with blue magic. "This festival's over!" He raised his hands in the air, lightening shooting from them and enveloping the sky. Peach and the Toads leapt back, startled at this display of his new power. But they hadn't seen anything yet.

From the newly formed clouds flew a UFO that had been awaiting Bowser's signal. Dear heavens, Bowser, Peach thought as she looked up at it in horror. What have you done? Bowser smiled as he stared at Peach. Her blue eyes reflected the UFO as if they were a mirror, and her blonde hair flowed majestically down her back like a gold waterfall as she stared up at Bowser's new friends. Soon that lovely beauty would be his queen, and the galaxy his kingdom. It was really turning out to be a great night.

But then, of course, Mario had to show up and ruin all his glorious chaos. Sheesh, couldn't that man leave Peach by herself for one night? He leaped acrobatically onto the stone bridge and gazed up at Peach. Too late, Bowser realized what was about to happen. "No!" he called out to the aliens, but they had already started.

Lasers shot out from the bottom of the UFO and cut a circle around castle, attaching chains to it as well. The stone around Mario started to crack and he almost fell off. Almost. Unfortunately, he was still very much present as the castle was lifted into the air by four of Bowser's doomships. "Mario!" Peach cried as she spotted her hero. Bowser snarled.

"Lord Bowser." Bowser turned to face Kamek, his advisor.

"What?"

"Allow me to take care of the Mario problem." A dark fire lit Bowser's eyes and a wicked grin spread across his face. Mario was hundreds of thousands of feet off the ground, and one well placed blast from Kamek…

"Go." Kamek nodded, his eyes gleaming behind his glasses. He leapt off the doomship flying right in front of Mario.

"So long. Enjoy your flight!" he cackled evilly. He drew his wand back, a glowing red energy building around the jewel that rested on the tip of the wand. It smacked into Mario full force and sent him flying off the floating castle, hurtling straight down towards the ground that would greet him painfully.

"Mario!" Peach cried again, this time her voice full of fear for the one she loved. The star in her arms launched itself out of Peach's grip and started flying down towards the falling plumber. Bowser smiled as he watched his nemesis fall, slowly taking it all in.

A horrified Peach. Two terrified Toads. An abducted castle. A plumber falling towards his certain doom. And pure, absolute chaos. It was beautiful.

I did it! Yay! Review please!
