Chapter 10: After Evil Mario
At last, the Ice Castle appeared outside of the darkened world of the 10th dimension, on a volcano-like island.
"Are we actually here?" Mario asked as he, Rosalina, Jeff and Bowser Jr looked out from the castle's window and saw dark skies and a red sea, already sensing the dark energy from this place, making Rosalina then speak up.
"Yes. This is Ultimecia and Sheva's dimension alright. I can feel their evil." She said.
"Right, but we must be careful. We have no idea what dangers are around this dimension." Bowser Jr added, before saying as he took out a flamethrower from a weapon's display case. "The dimensions coexist in fragile equilibrium. Any contact with our alter-egos in this reality could prove disastrous."
"What do you...?" Jeff began to ask when a Bowser and Bowser Jr from the 10th dimension appeared before them, their skins lighter than their evil counterparts, before both smiled, showing friendliness and warmth.
"Welcome to the tenth..." Good Bowser began to say in a booming, but friendly voice, causing the original Bowser Jr to shriek in terror, firing his flamethrower, accidentally reducing the Good Bowser and Good Bowser Junior to piles of ash.
Realizing what he had done, Bowser Jr closed his eyes as he expected something bad to happen.
But then, he slowly opened one eye to see everything was still in one place, with Mario, Rosalina and Jeff looking at him in confusion.
"Forget I said anything." Bowser Jr then said, shrugging and tossing the flamethrower aside.
"Right. So who was that?" Jeff asked.
"A good version of Bowser and Bowser Jr I suppose." Mario guessed, before a horrid thought occurred to him.
"Wait a minute, then that means..." Mario said, before he, Rosalina, Bowser Jr and Jeff all spun around, looking at Bowser, who was thought to be hugging Yoshi.
"Your skin is so soft... and warm." Bowser commented, feeling a strange, but safeness as he held Yoshi.
"Err... Bowser? Yoshi's over there." Mario said, pointing to Yoshi, Hal and Kylie, who all slowly back away.
As Bowser spotted Yoshi, he wondered who he was holding, only to be greeted by a nasty snarl as he turned to see a dark version of Yoshi, which had red eyes, sharp teeth and clawed hands and feet, which then leapt back, looking viciously at Bowser, making him scream in shock.
"Evil Yoshi!" Bowser Jr gasped, before things took a second dark turn as a dark skinned and clothed Mario leapt down beside Evil Yoshi, showing his nasty red eyes, torn clothing and an unbombed moustache.
"And Evil Mario!" Bowser gasped.
"Not the welcoming party we had in mind." Hal gulped, just before Evil Yoshi stuck out his tongue out, grabbed Rosalina, and then pulled her in his mouth, laid an egg with her trapped inside it and ran off with it.
"Rosalina!" Mario and Yoshi cried out, while Evil Mario acted as well, grabbing Kylie Koopa and ran out.
"After them!" Bowser commanded as he, Bowser Jr, Mario and Yoshi ran out of the lab, after them to the inside of the volcano's cave, where they all found they came to the large ski ramp, watching as Evil Mario leapt off the edge, with Kylie screaming for help, and Evil Yoshi escaping with Rosalina.
Bowser and his son both ran to the balcony and looked down.
"Dad, they are getting away!" Bowser Jr cried out.
"We've got to save them! We must do something!" Bowser said as he tried to think hard again. "Think, Bowser, think!"
But leaning so far out, Mario and Yoshi looked at each other.
"Once again?" Yoshi grinned, making Mario smirk and reply. "Of course."
With that, Mario and Yoshi then kicked the two Koopas in the backside, making them fall off of the railing, causing Mario to then leap on Bowser's back and Yoshi to jump on Bowser Jr's back as they slid down after Evil Mario, who was riding on Kylie's back, while Evil Yoshi was rolling on the egg.
And joining them, Jeff then sled after them, riding on Hal.
"Oh not again!" Bowser screamed as Mario grinded on the rail, making him groan in pain.
"Yoshi, don't you have any other original idea then this?" Bowser Jr asked in annoyance and fear as Yoshi made them jump off a cliff.
"Nope." Yoshi replied, continuing to sled down the mountain, avoiding the array of obstacles and traps.
"Hold on, Rosalina, Kylie! We're coming!" Mario called out, making Evil Mario snarl and went faster.
"Well hurry up! He's is making skid marks on my shell!" Kylie yelled back as all five skid past a collection of generators blocking the way and soon reached the bottom, where Evil Mario grabbed Kylie again and leapt to the top of a huge hill, with Evil Yoshi following after him.
And continuing to chase them, Mario, Yoshi, Bowser, Bowser Jr, Jeff and Hal used the spring to reach the top, where they saw a horrible sight where a replica of the Mushroom Kingdom was seen before them, but it was a horrid sight, for red mountains were around, purple grass bloomed and a black version of Peach's castle was in view.
"What is this?" Yoshi asked in fear.
"The 10th dimension's Mushroom Kingdom. Look's more different than the one I know and will conquer." Bowser said in reply, which made Mario say. "To steal our world's materials for something like this is unforgivable."
"Hey, there they are, and they are with Evil Luigi!" Hal suddenly called out, making them all turn to see a dark version of Mario's house, where Evil Mario and Evil Yoshi met up with an evil skinned and clothed Luigi, with Kylie tied up to a tree and the egg laying by Kylie's side.
"Here, brother. I got some nice ingredients for ur dinner tonight." Evil Mario said.
"Yes. And I bet they'll taste best with ketchup!" Evil Yoshi added.
"Argh! Don't eat us! We're far too beautiful to be eaten!" Kylie cried out in fear.
"Ah, I don't know. They don't have much fat on them." Evil Luigi commented.
Stepping forward, Bowser and Bowser Jr then stepped forward.
"Hold on you three! Let them go! Take us instead!" Bowser said, sounding most noble, which caused Evil Mario, Evil Luigi and Evil Yoshi to look at him with greedy eyes.
"These two got a lot of meat. We'll have them instead!" Evil Luigi said.
"Get them!" Evil Mario ordered as he picked up a blood stained Fire Flower.
Bowser and Bowser Junior gasped in horror as they turned and ran with the evil trio following them, throwing black colored flames and trying to roast them.
With the evil counterparts distracted, Mario acted fast as he headed for the egg and broke it open, freeing Rosalina.
"Oh thank you, Mario. That was frightening." Rosalina said, glad she had been released.
"No worries. Now Evil Mario and his duo are after Bowser and his son." Mario replied.
"Then leave Kylie to me, Hal and Jeff." Rosalina said, before instructing. "You two go help them."
"No problems. Hop on, Mario." Yoshi said in reply, causing Mario to nod, leap onto Yoshi's back and followed the evil versions of themselves, where they found Bowser and his son, continuing to run away from Evil Mario, Evil Luigi and Evil Yoshi.
"This reminds me of the Mandibug chase." Yoshi commented.
"We have to help them" He then said.
"Then let's clear away obstacles so they can escape." Mario sighed.
Helping their temporary allies once again, Mario and Yoshi cleared the traps that lay ahead.
Continuing, they came across an enemy, a Toad in a black garb, who stood in their way, only for Yoshi to stick out his tongue, swallow it and turn it into an egg and threw it at some blue colored Bob-Ombs.
"Hurry up you two! That Mario maniac is trying to cook us!" Bowser Jr screamed.
"I know that. He really is my opposite." Mario said as he used a switch to activate the bridge to help them across and avoid falling into the murky waters or get caught and cooked by the evil counterparts.
And after a while, they managed to trap Evil Mario, Evil Luigi and Evil Yoshi at the other side of the bridge, allowing Bowser and Bowser Jr to escape, where they met up with Mario and Yoshi.
They soon stopped to catch their breath, while Hal, Jeff, Rosalina and Kylie approached them.
"That was so close." Kylie said, relieved and then commented. "I never thought this dimension would be so nasty."
"Err... need a hug, Kylie because I knew you were frightened." Hal offered.
"I guess so. Fine, but just this once." Kylie said as she hugged him tightly, making Hal choke at her grip.
"Break it up, love birds" Bowser interrupted, then asking. "Can this world be any worse?"
"Well, well, well. Isn't that sweet?" A voice asked slyly.
And their shock and horror came when a nasty looking version of Peach, Daisy and Rosalina appeared before them, all wearing revealing black clothing and dark make up.
"It takes a real man to show they are not scared of their feelings. And my mum said they like their Peach hot and bitter." Evil Peach said.
"Or their Daisy slutty and mean." Evil Daisy added.
"Or their Rosalina sexy and bad." Evil Rosalina commented, licking her lips.
"Wow. She is your opposite, Rosalina." Jeff said to Rosalina, who just nodded, while feeling mixed negative emotions upon seeing her own self from the dimension.
"We're err... not thirsty." Mario and Bowser said together as all eight of them then began to make a break for it, but found they were running on the spot.
"Let's go!" Both yelled, before darting off towards Ultimecia and Sheva's stronghold, leaving Evil Peach, Evil Daisy and Evil Rosalina pouting.
